Ciara, what are you talking about?

Ciara: Well, I know it’s a lot to process, but in order for the species to survive, humans have to procreate, and that is reproduce as tiny, little human beings called babies.

Ben: Oh, you think you’re so funny, don’t you?

Ciara: Oh, I know I’m so funny.

Ben: Hmm, and I know what babies are. But are you serious about us having one?

Calista: Well, have a seat.

Steve: Okay. But, uh, we haven’t been introduced. I’m steve johnson. And you must be…

Calista: Calista lockhart.

[Chuckles]

Steve: Nice to meet you.

Calista: Oh, the pleasure’s all mine, handsome.

[Both chuckle]

Justin: Bonnie’s not here?

Kayla: Um, not yet.

Justin: But wasn’t she planning to come by so you could help her get ready for the wedding?

Kayla: I guess she running a little late.

Justin: That’s strange. She left the house a while ago. Calista did say she had an errand to run, but still, she should have been here by now.

Xander: Settle down! I said I’m coming. You don’t have to bang quite so loudly, mate. You’re practically rattling the bed.

Jack: Gwen… what was snyder blackmailing you with? He must have had something pretty serious for you to agree to run drugs for him.

Gwen: Jack… you have to understand– I never wanted to hurt you.

Jack: Hurt me? How?

[Cell phone rings] Ah, just a minute. Uh, I’ll get rid of this. Uh, julie–julie, look, I-I’m sorry. I’m in the middle of something. Can we– what?

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

[Soft orchestration]

 

Jack: Julie, look, I’ll be there as soon as I can. All right, all right.

Gwen: What’s wrong? What’s happened to julie?

Jack: I’m sorry. I’m sorry. We’ll continue this conversation later. She’s locked in the freezer at julie’s place.

Gwen: Okay. Yeah, we’ll talk whenever, then.

[Door opens, closes]

[Sighs]

[Dramatic music]

 

Ej: I apologize if I made my presence known a little too forcefully. You weren’t answering, and I thought you’d like to see your employment contract.

Xander: Oh, nicole signed it?

Ej. Even dotted the I. Ah, ah, ah, not so fast. I’d like my money first.

Xander: Huh. That’s why you were so enthusiastic. You’ll get your money once I’m sure that you did what you said you would.

Ej: I assure you this employment contract is on the up-and-up.

Xander: I’ll be the judge of that. Sit tight. This might be a while.

Kayla: You are acting like a nervous groom.

Justin: I’m not acting. I mean, it takes a while for a bride to get ready for a wedding, right?

Kayla: It depends on the bride.

Justin: Well, bonnie isn’t exactly your rush-through-it kind of gal.

Kayla: Well, I will agree with you on that.

Justin: So why isn’t she here to start the process?

Kayla: You know, I really– I wouldn’t worry about bonnie.

Justin: Easy to say, but you and I both know that bonnie can be… unpredictable.

Kayla: Granted. Okay, as matron of honor, I will–I will figure it out. I will… I will track her down.

Justin: Oh, thanks.

Xander: There aren’t any surprises in here, are there?

Ej: Of course not. You’re welcome to take as long as you need, but you’ll see that all the terms and conditions are very clearly laid out.

Xander: I hope so.

Ej: This is what I do, xander. My contracts are iron-clad. Nicole couldn’t back out of this even if she wanted to.

Xander: Well, she had better not try.

Ej: Don’t worry. She’s on board with this deal. As you can see, her signature is right there, and everything is in order.

Xander: [Sighs] Did you hear that? On the outside, I looked fine.

Steve: So… calista lockhart.

Calista: Steve johnson.

[Giggles]

Steve: You’re bonnie’s sister-in-law, right?

Calista: Sort of. She was married to my brother david.

Steve: Right. Are you and bonnie close?

Calista: Well, I am at her wedding. Just like you’re here for your brother-in-law justin, right?

Steve: Well, I guess it’s similar.

Calista: Well, how exactly are you two related?

Steve: Justin was married to my sister adrienne. She passed away.

Calista: Oh, I see. I lost my husband, too.

Steve: I heard about that. I’m sorry. You mind if I ask what happened?

Calista: He was murdered. And the killer was never caught.

Steve: Well, that must’ve been terrible for you. When did this happen?

Calista: Mr. Johnson–

Steve: Steve.

Calista: Steve… you ask an awful lot of questions. Makes me wonder why you’re so interested in me?

Xander: I didn’t hear anything. My ears are full of water from the shower.

Ej: I thought I heard a phone buzz. It wasn’t mine.

Xander: Doesn’t look like it was mine either.

Ej: Must’ve been one of the rooms next door. These walls have always been paper-thin. So… do we have a deal or not?

Xander: Oh, we have a deal.

Ej: Thank you. You don’t mind if I open that to make sure the million’s all there?

Xander: Be my guest.

[Breathes deeply]

Kayla: Anyway, uh, bonnie, I am here with justin, your dashing groom, and we’re just wondering where you are. So, when you get this message, if you could call me back, it’d be great. Thanks

Justin: Why isn’t she picking up?

Kayla: I don’t know. Maybe she’s at the hair salon, and she’s under the dryer, and she can’t hear anything. Okay, okay, okay–

Justin: Why wouldn’t she tell you that she was at the hair salon?

Kayla: I’ll text her, okay?

Justin: Thank you. That’s a good idea.

Kayla: Text bonnie lockhart. Bonnie, this is kayla. I’m here with your handsome groom-to-be, and we are wondering when you’re coming to the house. So, uh, get back to me when you get this message, okay? Send. There.

[Cell phone beeps] Oh.

Justin: Is that her?

Kayla: Yes, it is. And you know what? I was not that far off. She’s at the nail salon, and she’s a little hung up, but she said she will be here any minute. So, you see, nothing to worry about.

Xander: The cash is all there. I’d be awfully stupid to try and trick you now, wouldn’t I?

[Cell phone rings]

Ej: [Sighs] I have to take this outside. It’s a time-sensitive deal for dimera. Just know that if there’s a penny missing from this briefcase, I’ll be back for my pound of flesh.

Xander: Duly noted.

Ej: Pleasure doing business with you.

Xander: If you say so.

[Cell phone beeps]

Ej: Ej dimera.

Xander: [Sighs] We are back in business. Oh, bloody hell! Why didn’t he say something?

[Dramatic music]

 

Ciara: Um…

[Chuckles awkwardly] Why do you look so uncomfortable?

Ben: I’m not, baby. I’m just surprised.

[Chuckles]

Ciara: Yeah, but, I mean, we’ve talked about having a baby before. Is it really such a surprise that I brought it up?

Ben: I guess not. No, it’s just that, you know, we– I don’t know. You just caught me off guard. We got married about a week ago, and we’re still on our honeymoon.

Ciara: Oh, is that why we’re having such a good time?

Ben: Yes. And it’s the reason why I am a little bit surprised that you chose right now to bring up such a big step for us. You know, I thought that maybe we would wait until we at least got back to reality in salem.

Ciara: Yeah, well, I probably would have wanted to wait if it had actually been a week since we got married. But, ben… in every way that counts, you and I have been married since last july.

Ben: And I have certainly felt that way.

Ciara: We would have been together all of this time. We should have been together all this time. If it hadn’t been for eve and vincent and…

Ben: Rhodes and evan.

Ciara: Yeah.

Ben: Ciara, we lost a year because of them.

Ciara: Yeah. Thank god it was only a year. But now we’re back, ben. We’re back together, and we have our entire future ahead of us.

Ben: Yeah. Then what is the rush to have a kid right now?

Ciara: [Scoffs] I’m not in a rush. It’S… it’s just… when I’m with you, I can’t help but imagine a future with you… and all of the dreams that we share together.

Ben: The dream of us being parents together.

Ciara: Yeah. Remember? You, me… a little baby boy named bo.

Ben: Of course I remember

Ciara: Although I really don’t care what the gender is. I mean, it could be a boy, a girl, it doesn’t matter, as long as you are the father. Ben, I finally have you back. We’re finally together. And I just–I can’t wait to make all those dreams come true. But only if you are also on board. This is the sound of an asthma attack…

Ben: Ciara, when I had that dream about us having a baby together… I thought I lost you.

Ciara: Yeah, well, I’m right here. I’m right here right now. So there’s no reason it has to live in your head.

Ben: I know, but that was just one of many dreams that I had about you that past year… about all the things that I want us to share together, about all the things that I never thought I would ever have again.

Ciara: Are you saying you don’t want those things anymore?

Ben: No, of course not. But like you said, they lived in my head. This… this is reality.

Ciara: Isn’t that a good thing?

Ben: It’s a great thing. Baby, it’s a great thing. It’s just that…

[Sighs] A baby is a huge responsibility. Costs a lot of money.

Ciara: No, I know. I know, and it’s not like we don’t make any income.

Ben: Well, I’m not exactly getting rich at the garage, but…

Ciara: Okay, well, maybe I can work for grandpa victor again at titan.

Ben: But do you even really want to do that? The only reason why you even took that job in the first place was to prove that victor was framing me for jordan’s murder.

Ciara: Yeah. Well, thank god he didn’T. And besides, ben, I think I would be really good at that job.

Ben: Would he even want you back at the company?

Ciara: Mm, you know what?

Ben: Hmm?

Ciara: Being dead for a year kind of has its perks.

Ben: [Chuckles]

Ciara: Grandpa victor was so happy to have me back that he forgave me for everything I did at titan.

Ben: Mm, until he decides to use that against you one day.

Ciara: No, I’m pretty sure he’s gonna be fully on team ciara… especially once he finds out that I’d be carrying his great-grandchild.

[Dramatic music]

 

[Knock at door]

Xander: [Sighs] Gwen?

Gwen: Is that a question?

Xander: No, I’m just surprised to see you.

Gwen: So surprised, you’re not going to ask me to come in?

Xander: No, please. I thought we already said our goodbyes.

Gwen: Yes, we did.

Xander: And obviously we can’t be together because your father thinks I’m some scum-of-the-earth drug dealer.

Gwen: Yeah, right, that article–that was rather harsh. It’s, um–it’s actually why I’m here.

Xander: I’m not following.

Gwen: I couldn’t let my father think those terrible things about you. Not to mention publishing it for the whole bloody world to see–it’s not fair.

Xander: Don’t worry. I’m used to people thinking I’m a terrible person.

Gwen: But you’re not a terrible person, xander. You helped me. You kept me safe. So I told my father the truth– that this whole time, you’ve been covering for me.

Xander: You did? You told him the whole story?

Gwen: No, no, not the whole story. Just that snyder was blackmailing me into being his drug mule.

Xander: I don’t understand. If you didn’t tell jack about the miscarriage, then why does jack think that snyder was able to blackmail you?

Gwen: Well, yes, he did ask the question. He did, and I was about to answer, but then his phone rang. Julie phoned with some emergency.

Xander: What kind of emergency?

Gwen: [Scoffs] Apparently the old bat got herself locked in her own freezer.

[Snickers]

Julie: I can’t feel my toes… or my feet.

Jack: Here, here, drink this. It’ll warm you up.

Julie: Oh, thaw me out, you mean.

Jack: Okay, just– there you go.

Julie: [Slurping] Ahh. Ahh.

Julie: Thank you, jack, for the tea and for rescuing me from frozen doom.

Jack: I’m sorry I didn’t get here sooner.

Julie: You got here in the nick of time. Nick of time. A couple of more minutes, and all you would’ve found would be a julie-cicle.

Jack: Oh, my gosh. I just don’t–I don’t understand. How did you end up stuck in the freezer in the first place?

Julie: I didn’t end up. I was locked in.

Jack: What? Who would do that?

Julie: Doug did it! My own husband locked me in freezer. Lactaid is 100% real milk, just without the lactose.

Jack: Doug locked you in the freezer? Are you sure?

Julie: As sure as my new name is ice woman.

Jack: Well, I don’t– why on earth would he do something like that?

Julie: Oh, you’ll have to ask him.

[Chuckles] We were setting up for the dinner crowd. I said, “I’m just gonna go back to the freezer, pick up a couple of extra rib eye steaks.” Went there, put the doorstop under the door as I always do, and the next thing I know, the door slams shut.

Jack: The stopper just slipped out. It was an accident.

Julie: Yeah, that’s what I thought. So I banged on the door, and doug walked up to the door, and he looked through the little window, and then he walked away.

Jack: What?

Julie: I thought, “oh, it must really be stuck. He’s just gone for help.” He never came back.

Ciara: Oh, I get it, ben. Our life has been unstable…

Ben: Oh.

Ciara: To say the least. But we don’t have to be rich to have a baby. I’m pretty sure our jobs will be enough.

Ben: Okay, so say we’re both working. Who is gonna take care of the kid?

Ciara: Well, I can take time off when the baby’s born.

Ben: Okay, and how about after that?

Ciara: I will work remotely sometimes. And we can arrange our hours. And we can even hire a nanny.

Ben: Okay, so– all right, all right. All right, so we’re both gonna be working like crazy in order to earn enough to then hire somebody else to watch our baby while we’re working?

Ciara: Yeah, well, I didn’t say we wouldn’t have to make sacrifices. But, baby, people do it all the time. We can manage.

Ben: Is that where we set the bar for parenting– managing?

Ciara: [Scoffs] What are you doing, ben?

Ben: What do you mean?

Ciara: You are arguing every single point that I make. Am I missing something here, or… or do you just not want to have a baby with me?

Ben: [Sighs]

Kayla: Well, mystery solved. Bonnie will show up with freshly painted nails.

Justin: Yes. Yes, that’s a relief. I’m sorry I made this a thing. I guess I’m a little paranoid.

Kayla: Well, I don’t think there’s anything to worry about. She was just beautifying her hands.

Justin: Yeah. Well, it’s not her hands that I’m worried about. More like cold feet.

Kayla: Are you serious?

Justin: A little.

Kayla: Oh, come on. Bonnie is crazy about you. Remember, she was gonna propose to you herself? Listen, last night she went on and on about how much she loves you, and I have the hangover to prove it.

Justin: Well, things can look entirely different in the cold light of day.

Kayla: It was not the booze talking. She is completely smitten with you. She can’t wait to be your wife.

Justin: So she wasn’t concerned at all?

Kayla: About you? No.

Justin: What does that mean?

Kayla: It means that bonnie was worried about one thing– calista lockhart.

Steve: So was I asking a lot of questions?

Calista: Yes, you were. Not that I mind. I mean, it’s been a while since I’ve been showered with so much attention from such a handsome man.

Steve: Well, when I meet someone new, I can’t help but be interested. I’m a–I’m a curious guy.

Calista: I understand. I’m curious, too.

Steve: Oh? About what?

Calista: Well, for starters, what’s going on underneath that patch? How’d you lose your eye?

Steve: My eye?

Calista: Was that too forward?

Steve: No, no, it’s okay. Not forward at all. I, um–I lost it in a knife fight, actually.

Calista: Wow, how dramatic… and sexy, too.

Steve: Oh?

Calista: You know… weddings put me in a certain mood.

Steve: [Chuckles]

Calista: [Chuckles] We can head on upstairs right now. Nobody would miss us.

Steve: For what?

Calista: [Chuckles] I mean, we the have time, and I’m definitely getting a little vibe here.

Steve: Oh, you’re getting a vibe?

Calista: Mm-hmm.

Steve: Between us?

Calista: Mm-hmm.

Steve: Well… [Chuckles] Well, you know, I’m married…

Calista: Oh.

Steve: To the matron of honor.

Calista: Happily?

Steve: Very.

Calista: I understand. I won’t tell if you won’T.

Steve: Oh, wait. Is struggling to manage your type 2 diabetes

Ben: Ciara weston… of course I want to have a baby with you.

Ciara: Well, it really doesn’t seem like it, ben weston.

Ben: I know. But that is only because I’ve spent this entire year thinking about how I would do anything to have one more minute with you. And now I have you back, and I’m trying to soak up every single second of it because I know how precious it is. I know that every moment with you is a gift, and that is why I love being with you so damn much, just the two of us.

Ciara: [Sighs] And you’re worried that a baby is going to ruin that?

Ben: I’m just worried about skipping steps, ciara.

Ciara: [Sighs] I get that. I get it. Um… we think we have all this time, but like you said, we don’t know how much time we’ll have.

Ben: And nobody understands that better than I do. But being with you like this on our honeymoon, riding on the back of your bike, letting the road take us wherever it may… this is the happiest I’ve ever been in my entire life. So maybe you can call me selfish, but… I’m not ready to give that up yet.

Ciara: Okay, but, you know, the honeymoon isn’t gonna last forever, right?

Ben: Mm-hmm, but it can last a little bit longer.

Ciara: Oh, my god, ben.

Ben: Because I’m not ready for it to stop. I lost you for too damn long, and now I want you all to myself.

Ciara: So you don’t want to have the baby conversation at all?

Ben: Would it be all right with you if maybe we just postponed talk now?

Justin: What are bonnie’s concerns about calista?

Kayla: I don’t actually know. She just was really upset last night. Something was bothering her, and when I asked her about it, she just said it had to do with her former sister-in-law.

Justin: Well, this morning bonnie was really jumpy when calista barged into our bedroom.

Kayla: She did what?

Justin: At the time, I thought it was just a really uncomfortable moment, but, uh… you know, actually, I’m still a little unclear about what their relationship actually is.

Kayla: Well, what did she want?

Justin: She said she was there to give bonnie an old handkerchief that belonged to her late husband.

Kayla: Harrison lord?

Justin: Yeah, right, that’s the guy.

Kayla: Oh.

Justin: Do you think I should talk to bonnie about this before the wedding?

Kayla: Well, it’s your call. I don’t think there’s anything to worry about. I mean, the only thing that matters is that she is completely and totally in love with you.

Justin: [Chuckles] The feeling’s mutual.

Kayla: It makes me so happy to hear you say that.

Justin: I have to say, I never saw her coming. Now I can’t imagine my life without her.

Kayla: Well, I know she puts a smile on your face.

Justin: Every day. And I know it took you and steve a while to come around to her. And I don’t blame you after what she did to adrienne. And you were just, you know, looking out for me.

Kayla: You know what? That was a long time ago. And I think that she has completely changed, and so does steve.

Justin: It means a lot to me that you guys approve.

Kayla: Well, bonnie will always be, shall we say, quirky.

Justin: [Laughs]

Kayla: But I don’t think that she is the same woman that tried to destroy adrienne’s life and break every law to get what she wanted. Really, I think that she’s really turned her life around, and maybe it was motivated by your love. But your kindness and your decency has definitely rubbed off on her, and I think that this woman you’re marrying is truly a good person. I believe that.

Steve: Oh, okay.

Bonnie: [Gasps]

Steve: All right, all right, that’s enough. Get up, get up.

Bonnie: What the hell is going on here?

Steve: Ask your sister-in-law.

Calista: Well, hey, bons. Steve and I here were just getting a little better acquainted.

Bonnie: Yeah, I can see that.

Steve: What are you doing here, bonnie? You’re supposed to be with kayla getting dressed for the wedding, aren’t you?

Bonnie: Yeah, well– yeah, but I got hung up at the manicurist. I cracked a nail. And can you believe it, on my wedding day?

[Chuckles] Anyhow, I never made it to your place. And so I just figured it’d just be faster and get dressed here, so…

Steve: Okay, well, you forgot your makeup bag this morning, and justin’s on his way over to take it to you over to kayla’S.

Bonnie: Uh…

Steve: I better call her.

Bonnie: No, um, actually– um… [Clears throat] Actually, I think calista could help me get dressed. That’d be fine, right, calista?

Calista: Oh, absolutely. What are sister-in-laws for? Or is it sisters-in-law? Come on, let’s head upstairs.

Bonnie: Let’S. Uh, steve, would you mind calling justin for me and just ask him to bring my makeup bag back with him when he comes back? You’re so funny. Go.

Steve: Sure, no problem.

Jack: Are you sure that doug saw you in the freezer?

Julie: I’m sure. We made eye contact.

Jack: It’s just… it’s just strange, that’s all. I mean, maybe he was just playing a prank.

Julie: [Scoffs] There’s nothing funny about this. The doug I know would never lock me in the freezer. And now I don’t know where he is. I don’t know what he’s done. Jack… I think something is terribly wrong.

Xander: So julie got locked in the freezer at her own restaurant? How?

Gwen: I don’t know. Probably some angry member of her own kitchen staff. I’m sure they all bloody hate her.

Xander: I mean, is she all right?

Gwen: Yes, I think she’ll be just fine. My dad went off to rescue her. He’s giving her warm broth and cognac now as we speak.

Xander: Okay, but after he thaws her out, what then?

Gwen: [Sighs] You mean am I going to tell him about my miscarriage happening before I fell down the stairs and that my fight with abigail had nothing to do with it?

Xander: It’s an awfully big risk.

Gwen: I know. I know, I know. We shouldn’t have to do it, but, honestly, I-I don’t think I have any other way out of it.

Xander: Jack is not gonna react well to that.

Gwen: [Sighs] God, he’s going to be so disappointed in me, xander. He’s worked so hard to bring me into his family… make up for lost time. I don’t think he’ll be able to look at me the same way ever again.

Xander: You don’t have to do it, gwen.

Gwen: But I do. I can’t let him keep printing these nasty stories about you that aren’t true. It’s gonna ruin your reputation forever.

Xander: [Sighs] Not to mention, I’ll lose the million dollars I spent on my defense.

[Pounding on door]

Ej: Xander! Open up, you thief! Did you know that your toughest cleaning problems

Justin: Well, I’m glad that you think that bonnie has turned over a new leaf.

Kayla: I definitely do. And I trust your judgment, justin.

Justin: It would definitely be a little challenging invoking spousal privilege or acting as bonnie’s attorney as well as her husband.

Kayla: I don’t think it’s ever a good idea to have your wife be your client. I mean, that would be awkward.

Justin: Yes, and we wouldn’t want anything connected to the wedding to feel awkward.

Kayla: You know, I know it’s strange, me being bonnie’s matron of honor and steve being your best man. But I don’t know. I just feel like this windy road has all led us to where we really should be, you know?

Justin: I think so.

Kayla: And I don’t know. Maybe it’s wishful thinking, but I feel like we have a little help from above.

Justin: [Chuckles] You think adrienne had something to do with all this?

Kayla: I’d like to think that. I’d like to think that, um, she’s somewhere just smiling down on all of us.

Justin: [Chuckles]

Xander: Is there a problem, mate?

Ej: What the hell are you trying to pull?

Xander: What are you talking about?

Ej: The briefcase!

Xander: What about it?

Ej: Are we really gonna play this game?

Xander: I don’t understand.

Gwen: What’s going on here?

Ej: Who the hell are you?

Gwen: I’m gwen. I–

Ej: I don’t care. Well, I’m waiting.

Xander: Are you really trying to say that the money wasn’t in the briefcase when I gave it to you?

Ej: Oh, don’t act surprised.

Xander: I know for a fact the money was in there this morning.

Ej: Well, it’s certainly not there now. Did you leave it unattended?

Xander: Of course not. It’s been with me the whole time.

Ej: What about your friend here? Did you leave her alone with it?

Gwen: Hey, you don’t even know me!

Xander: Leave her out of this–she just got here.

Ej: Well, if you’re not lying to me…

Xander: Which I’m not.

Ej: Then someone stole it. A million dollars doesn’t just walk away on its own!

Calista: Oh, oh!

[Sighs]

Bonnie: Look, here’s your money, all of it.

Calista: Well, it’s about time. Although I did manage to occupy myself with the best man.

Bonnie: Yeah, I noticed.

Calista: Now, why didn’t you…

[Gasps] Tell me how sexy steve is? Did you know he lost his eye in a knife fight?

Bonnie: Will you stop?

Calista: Well, why are you so stressed out?

Bonnie: I almost got caught stealing this money. I was two seconds away from being thrown in the pokey on my wedding day.

Calista: Okay, that does sound stressful.

Bonnie: Stressful? I was hiding under a bed picturing justin’s face and how disappointed he’d be in me.

Calista: Well, he does know what kind of gal he’s marrying, right?

Bonnie: I’ve gone straight, okay? I’m not a crook anymore.

Calista: Well, don’t take it out on me. If you’re gonna go run off with stolen buddybucks, you better be prepared to live with the consequences.

Bonnie: That was years ago! I told justin I was done with that life, and I meant it. I just pray to god he never finds out about this.

Calista: Well, he won’t hear it from me. I will just take this and be on my way.

Bonnie: Oh, I don’t think so.

Calista: Well, what’s your problem?

Bonnie: Oh, you’re not going anywhere till you give me that gun, girl.

Limu emu & doug

Ciara: [Sighs] If you aren’t ready to have the baby conversation, then… of course we can postpone it… because I want to spend as much time as I can with you, too.

Ben: Are you sure? You’re not upset?

Ciara: No. I was just– I was excited. I was excited for us. We finally have a future. We’re finally back together with nothing in the way to stop us.

Ben: Ciara, I promise you I am excited, too. And I want to have a baby with you. I really do. Just… not right now.

Ciara: I understand. I get it. And why skip steps when each one is so perfect? Like right now. We should be focusing on getting to new orleans, if you are ready to hit the road.

Ben: Mm.

Ciara: [Giggles]

Ben: On to our next adventure?

Ciara: On to our next adventure.

Ben: I love you.

Ciara: I love you.

[Romantic music]

 

[Line trilling]

Julie: Doug’s still not answering. Where in the world can he be?

Jack: Don’t worry. We’ll find him.

Julie: I’m getting scared, jack. I have no idea why he would leave me like this. What if something awful has happened to him?

Xander: I understand you’re upset.

Ej: I’m out a million dollars is what I am.

Xander: Look, can we just, uh, take a minute here and figure it out? There must be a reasonable explanation.

Ej: Let me know when you find out what that is. In the meantime, I’m getting the ball rolling on sending you to prison.

Xander: [Sighs]

Ej: And you can forget about that job.

Xander: Ej, wait. Come on.

[Sighs]

Gwen: [Scoffs] Okay, I know you said that the arrest cost you a million dollars, but did you–

Xander: Did I what?

Gwen: I don’t know. Did you–did you scam him?

Xander: Of course not. I wasn’t lying to ej. I told him the truth. As far as I know, the money was in that briefcase when I gave it to him, and it hasn’t been out of my sight.

Gwen: Is it possible he’s lying, then?

Xander: Did that look like he was lying?

Gwen: Well, I don’t know. Did you–did you let anyone else in here? A housekeeper, maid or anyone, someone?

Bonnie: Hi. Morning, sunshine.

Xander: What the hell are you doing here?

[Sighs]

Gwen: What? What? What–what is it?

Xander: Someone else was here.

[Cell phone rings]

Kayla: Oh, sorry. Oh.

Justin: Is it bonnie?

Kayla: No, no, it’s steve. Hi. Hey, um, listen, you know, justin’s here, and, uh, we’re still waiting on bonnie.

Steve: I know. She asked me to tell you she’s not coming.

Kayla: What? Why not?

Steve: Well, she decided to come back here and get ready at the house. She just went upstairs with calista lockhart.

Kayla: So you met calista?

Steve: Oh, yeah, I met her. I got to tell you, baby, I didn’t get a great vibe.

Bonnie: Give me the gun, girl.

Calista: [Inhales sharply] Fine.

Bonnie: [Scoffs] Okay, you did the first part. Now hand it over.

Calista: Oh, I’m sorry, bon-bon, but you’re not getting the gun. You… are getting the bullet.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Dramatic music ]

Finn: Yeah, she’s unconscious, but she’s breathing. Her pulse is normal. Okay, please hurry. Thank you, thank you very much. Okay, I’m gonna unlock the front door. Hang in there, mom, okay? Help is on the way.

Steffy: Sheila’s not gonna be a problem for finn and me.

Ridge: No, she won’T. She won’t be around you, or your kids, or finn, ever again. We’re working on it.

Brooke: Carter filed the restraining order?

Ridge: Yes, it’s with the judge now.

Brooke: And security’s been staffed at your house?

Steffy: Yes.

Ridge: Okay. We can have all the security, all the restraining orders in the world, but we all need to be on the same page, all of us. Do you understand?

Steffy: I understand that, and we are. Finn doesn’t want sheila around. He understands how dangerous she is.

Shauna: It’s very beautiful, the way you are standing by eric.

Quinn: Of course. He’s my husband.

Shauna: But, you need to be honest with yourself. You’ve had a very sexual, passionate relationship with carter, and the way you said he made you feel–

Quinn: Well, eric and i have faced challenges before, and we’ve gotten through them. We’ll get through them again.

Shauna: Oh come on, quinn. This is different. I know you want to be strong, but your husband may never be able to make love to you again. Can you really live without that, and make such a huge sacrifice?

Quinn: Yes. My love and commitment to my husband comes first. If I have to give up that part of myself, I will. I’ll do it for eric.

Quinn: There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for eric. I love him.

Eric: And I love you too, quinn.

Quinn: Eric? I, I, I didn’t know you were home.

Eric: My meeting ended quickly.

Shauna: Quinn and I, we were just talking about how happy she is to be back home with you again.

Quinn: It’s true. Eric, I mean, no matter what we’ve been through and what we may go through, you should never doubt my love for you.

Eric: I don’T. Your love and support mean the world to me.

Brooke: I still can’t believe that sheila came to your house to see finn. I mean, I can, but… and jack was the one who told her where you lived?

Steffy: Mm-hm.

Brooke: And you walked in…

Steffy: I walked in on her holding hayes.

Brooke: Oh my god. Steffy, I am sorry.

Ridge: Yeah, maybe jack thought giving sheila what she wanted would make her go away. It’s foolish.

Brooke: I can’t believe that finn would even go along with this.

Steffy: Finn was wrong, and he knows that. But I am convinced he won’t be seeing sheila ever again.

[ Ambulance siren ]

[ Knocking ]

Finn: Right, this way. Okay, thank god you’re here. I’m dr. Finnegan. Uh, we were just talking, and she collapsed. Just completely unconscious.

[ Radio chatter ] Strong pulse, and no sign of head trauma.

Paramedic: Okay, thank you, doctor. I’ll take it from here. What’s your relationship with the patient?

Finn: She’s my mother. Okay, we gotta hurry. We need to get her to the hospital.

Paramedic: Of course.

Frank is a fan of fast.

He’s a fast talker.

Shauna: I can’t tell you how happy it makes me, to see you both back together again.

Eric: I’m a very happy man.

Shauna: Well, it makes this girl hopeful that real love does exist, and it’s not fragile. Challenges and obstacles may come, real pain may come, but you can push through it and get to the other side. I know you both have had a lot thrown at you, but to find your way back together, it proves that you guys can do anything.

Eric: I truly hope so.

Quinn: There’s nothing we can’t overcome.

Shauna: Well, let me get out of here. Eric, it was so great seeing you.

Eric: My pleasure, as always, shauna. It’s good to see you.

Shauna: Thank you. You too.

Eric: It’s good that she came to see you. She’s a good friend for you.

Quinn: Yeah. Hey. I don’t ever want there to be secrets between us anymore. I, I shared with shauna what’s going on with you. She’s my oldest friend, and I really needed somebody to talk to, and she loves you. I mean, she has been a champion for us, from the very beginning, and just please, don’t be mad at me.

Ridge: I imagine that seeing sheila and hayes together, that that was awful for you, but look at the bright side. Even with all this, you and finn worked it out.

Steffy: Yeah, I’m happy about it. Relieved, actually.

Brooke: You were concerned, for the two of you?

Steffy: Oh, absolutely. But, when I saw sheila, holding my son in that moment, all I cared about was protecting him.

Ridge: Even from finn?

Steffy: Yeah.

Ridge: Well, that makes sense to me. There’s nothing to be ashamed of. You do whatever you can to protect your family, right?

Steffy: Mm-hm.

Brooke: Your father’s right.

Steffy: Yeah.

Ridge: Her father’s always right.

Steffy: Finn knows how dangerous sheila is, and the lengths she’ll go to get what she wants. I just hate that he’s in this position.

Ridge: I hate that too.

Brooke: Yeah.

Steffy: He’s always wondered about his birth mother, and then he finally meets her and sees that she’s a sociopath.

Brooke: I can’t imagine what he’s going through, but the important thing is that he knows he can’t be in her life.

Ridge: ‘Cause he does know that, right? That’s what I was struggling with, a little bit. He had all the information. We told him about sheila, everything, what he did to you, to your mom, to you, and I think he listened. He probably listened, but he didn’t live it. Didn’t live the darkness, he didn’t live that danger. He, uh, just heard about it. So, I gotta think that, even with all that, he’s gonna have a relationship with his mother.

Dr. Griffith: Dr. Finnegan!

Finn: Dr. Griffith.

Dr. Griffith: What happened?

Finn: We were talking, she just collapsed. Pulse is normal.

Paramedic: 90 bpm.

Dr. Griffith: Her heartbeat?

Paramedic: Steady, no obstructions.

Dr. Griffith: Any drugs or alcohol?

Finn: No. Uh, not to my knowledge. It could be neurological or metabolic.

Dr. Griffith: Any signs of head trauma?

Paramedic: No.

Dr. Griffith: Any verbal, tactile, or noxious stimulus?

Finn: There’s been none.

Dr. Griffith: Get her in room two, right away. We’ll take care of her.

Finn: Thank you. Mom, I’m right here, okay? I’m gonna be right by your side.

[ Upbeat music ]

Quinn: Eric. I’m sorry for opening up to shauna, about all of this. She’s my oldest friend.

Eric: You needed someone to talk to, I understand. You told me.

Quinn: I just don’t want you to be mad at me.

Eric: Mad at you?

Quinn: Yeah.

Eric: No. No, how could I be mad at you? If anybody should be apologizing, it’s me.

Quinn: Oh, eric, no–

Eric: No, no, I should have, I should have been truthful to you about all of this months ago.

Quinn: You don’t have anything to apologize for.

Eric: But, I do. I do, I was, I was embarrassed, I was ashamed and I, I, I pushed you away.

Quinn: I’m the one who broke our vows.

Eric: Because I let you believe that I was rejecting you, I let you believe that I was no longer interested in being intimate with you. I’m sorry.

Quinn: Hey, hey, look at me. I love you. We have gotten through every obstacle we’ve faced before. We’re gonna do it again.

Ridge: Steffy, look, I don’t, I don’t wanna upset you. I don’T. I also don’t want you to doubt your husband. I get it, I get it. You don’t want me to be unrealistic.

Ridge: No, I don’t know what I want, no, I, I do know what I want. I want you to be happy, because you have husband who’s great. He’s just got a few things he’s gotta work out. He’s got an amazing family.

Brooke: I think what your father is trying to say is that finn discovering his birth mother, that’s huge. There has to be some kind of emotional connection on some level.

Ridge: Not on some level, on every level. I mean, he, he may not even be aware of all of it, at this point.

Steffy: But dad, finn and I already had that conversation, it’s fine.

Ridge: Yeah. And you had that same conversation before all that. No, I’m sorry, and–

[ Steffy sighing ] You know I love you? And I, I… finn told you, that you and the kids come first, right? You remember that?

Steffy: Mm-hm.

Ridge: Still, that woman showed up at your house. How?

Steffy: Finn was vulnerable to her once. And now, that he’s seen her desperation, the way that she manipulates, finn will not fall for that, ever again.

Finn: This can’t continue, sheila.

Sheila: Please call me “mom”.

Finn: I can’T. I’m not trying to hurt you, but you need to go. You need to honor your word, and you need to stay away from us. My son and i will have no part of your life. Not ever.

Dr. Griffith: Exactly what happened, dr. Finnegan?

Finn: We’re talking, things got pretty heated, and she started to get upset. And she, she collapsed, she passed out. At first, I was worried she was having a heart attack.

Dr. Griffith: Uh-huh. Ekg shows no sign of cardiac arrest.

[ Machine beeping ] How do you know this woman, dr. Finnegan?

Finn: She’s my mother.

Dr. Griffith: Your mother? But, I thought–

Finn: Oh, sorry, she’s, uh, she’s my birth mother. I just met her. It’s, it’s complicated. Really complicated, actually. But, I… I finally found her. And I can’t lose her. Not like this. If you think all pads are exactly the same,…

[ Relaxing acoustic music ]

Eric: Quinn, it’s just I’ve been so unfair to you. I, I should have told you the truth about all of this before asking you to come back, before tearing up the divorce papers.

Quinn: Carter, I love you.

Carter: I love you too.

Quinn: Do you really think my answer would have changed? I’m committed and devoted to you.

Eric: But, what if I can’t? I can’t? I’ve been to doctors and psychiatrists and nothing seems to be working. I was hoping that this opening up to you, would be the breakthrough that I’ve been hoping for, but it’s just not happening. I’M… I’m letting you down.

Quinn: No, you’re not. You’re not letting me down. Come on, it’s exactly what shauna said, this is who we are. We come up against obstacles and we face them. Together.

Eric: But I can’t, I can’T. And how can I ask, how can I ask you to bury that part of you? You’re, you’re a beautiful, vibrant, sensual woman. You’re a passionate woman.

Quinn: I get it, but you have to still believe that you could fulfill me. You’ve done it before, you will do it again.

Eric: I can’t make love to you.

Quinn: Stop, okay? Stop, stop it. Stop.

Ridge: Steffy, I’m sorry. You know, the last thing I want is to upset you.

Steffy: You didn’t upset me. I understand why you’re concerned. I’m concerned too, but not about finn. I’m not gonna let sheila drive a wedge between us.

[ Phone ringing ] Hey, baby.

Finn: Hey, um, uh, I’m at the hospital.

Steffy: Oh, oh did you have to go in? Did donna bring the kids home? Do I have to go home, and relieve amelia? Is everything okay?

Finn: Uh, no, I didn’t get called in.

Steffy: Oh. What’s going on? Is something wrong?

Finn: Uh, something happened. There was an emergency.

Steffy: With one of your patients?

Finn: Um, my mother.

Steffy: Your mother, with li? What happened, what’s wrong?

Finn: Oh no, not her. She’s fine, she’s fine. Um… it’s sheila.

Steffy: Sheila. What happened?

Finn: Uh, we’re not sure. She, uh, we’re monitoring her, but she collapsed and she’s been unconscious ever since.

Steffy: How did you find this out?

Finn: Uh, I was with her when she collapsed.

Steffy: You were with her?

Finn: At the house.

Steffy: Our house?

Finn: Sheila showed up. I, I was surprised, but I told her that she could no longer come there, and I made it very clear that I never wanted to see her again. She got really upset and collapsed. I know how you feel about her, and if I’m being honest, I’m just really worried.

Steffy: Finn.

Finn: I know you don’t want to hear this, but she’s my mother, and I don’t want to lose her.

Sheila: He doesn’t want to lose me. You never will, my baby boy, no one will keep us apart. Not even you, steffy.

Days: Beyond Update, Monday, September 6, 2021

Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem Update

"Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem"

Update written by Joseph

At the National Museum in the Kingdom of Alamania in 1991, someone breaks in and steals the Alamanian Peacock.

30 years later in Zurich, Switzerland, Shane Donovan explains to John and Marlena that the Alamanian Peacock was stolen and says the culprit was Princess Gina, or Hope who was brainwashed in to believing she was Princess Gina. Shane adds that the Peacock featured precious gemstones. Shane reveals that it was just recently recovered and sent back to the Alamain family but the gemstones were missing, though now they have started popping up in different parts of the globe and Lord Sebastian Alamain is putting pressure on the ISA to retrieve them. Marlena calls that a big job. Shane agrees they will need their most skilled agents which is where John comes in.

Ben and Ciara begin their honeymoon in New Orleans. Ciara talks about how they have so much to do and see as she kisses Ben. Ben asks if they should keep walking the French quarter or head back to the hotel room. Ciara remembers Hope mentioning how fun the antique store is so they go over to it, but it’s closed. Ciara sees a voodoo doll in the window and calls it creepy. Ciara is fascinated by a pin with a gem in it in the window and talks about how much she loves it.

Paulina brings Lani, Eli, and Abe to her home in Miami. Abe calls it beautiful while Eli appreciates being in paradise instead of undercover in a seedy hotel. Eli talks about hopping off a jet to a limo to a mansion. Lani acknowledges that Paulina likes to live large. Paulina tells Lani to enjoy it, reminding her that it’s her last fun before maternity leave ends at work. Paulina calls Lani her favorite niece. Abe looks out the window and admires the view. Abe questions Paulina voluntarily leaving all of this to move to Salem. Paulina admits it was a sacrifice at the time, but she’s so glad she did or else she never would’ve met Abe. Paulina says they are going to shake up the town.

Chad arrives in Phoenix and visits Will. They hug and Chad says he missed him so much. Will mentions they were so happy to get his call. Will calls out to Sonny that Chad is there. Sonny (now played by Zach Tinker) rushes in to excitedly hug Chad. They ask how Chad is doing. Chad says he’ll be better when Abigail gets home from Boston. Chad asks about Arianna since he brought her a present. Will says that Arianna is on a play date with a friend. Chad says his kids are doing the same with Jack, so he flew out to hang with his best friends. Chad says he’s really missed them and apologizes for not keeping in better touch. Chad notes that it’s early so they can start catching up right now. Will wishes he could stay and hang out but he has a meeting he can’t miss. Will asks Sonny if he doesn’t mind playing tour guide for the day. Chad says if they are busy, he can chill. Sonny remarks that he’s never too busy for the people he loves…

Anna and Tony arrive in Zurich and go to Carrie and Austin’s apartment. Anna advises Tony not to say anything about marriage troubles. Carrie answers the door, surprised to see Anna and Tony. She asks what they are doing here. Anna tells Carrie not to worry but she’s here to save her marriage. Carrie asks Anna to keep her voice down, because she doesn’t want Austin knowing that she went running to her mother about their marital problems. Austin then walks in and says it’s a little late for that.

Shane informs John and Marlena that the sapphire is here in Zurich as part of a necklace going out for auction tonight. Shane says they need someone to go undercover and suggests John and Marlena. Shane adds that all expenses will be covered by the ISA. John asks what happens after they win the necklace in the auction. Shane says he will get it back to the Alamains as quick as possible. John asks how high he can bid. Shane says as high as he likes but to try not to break the bank as their budget is not what it used to be. John calls it simple enough but Shane reveals there’s a little more to it.

Ben tells Ciara that he’s buying her the pin. Ciara says he’s so sweet but it probably costs a fortune. Ben says she’s worth a fortune and calls it a wedding present. Ciara agrees only if it’s not crazy expensive. Ben sees the shop owner about to go inside so he asks her about the pin in the window. She informs him that she’s already holding it for a long time client, who made an appointment for a private viewing. Ben asks if they can at least make it an offer. She says that would be pointless because her client is royalty, Princess Gina Von Amberg, which shocks Ciara.

Eli jokes that they do not get beautiful views like this in Salem. Lani mentions there only being like 30 houses on this island that they call Star Island. Eli wonders about the celebrities that live here. Abe suggests they could get to meet some of them and brings up Rosie O’Donnell. Paulina says that she moved and talks about how she used to jet ski. Paulina mentions being friends with Gloria Estefan. Paulina says it’s too bad Tamara isn’t here with them as she’s sure she would be thrilled to see them. Lani mentions that they did leave the twins in Salem with Julie. Paulina loves seeing Eli and Lani get some alone time together, so she tells them to make themselves at home while she gives Abe a tour. Eli then asks Lani how she’s holding up. Lani admits she’s missing the twins but she knows Julie and Doug will be happy to take care of them. Eli assures they will be fine and that Julie will text them updates and photos. Lani adds that pretty soon, she will be working double shifts so she needs to get used to it like he is. Eli thinks he has an idea how they can forget missing the twins so much as he kisses her.

Will repeats that he’s sorry that he can’t stay but he’s working on a huge story. Chad says it’s fine as he didn’t give much notice that he’s coming. Sonny remarks that he’s taking his company public but Will is the one who can’t take the day off. Sonny argues that as a reporter, Will sets his own hours and could easily work from home but Will points out that he’s at the mercy of his sources. Sonny argues that he could do it here by video but Will says it’s sensitive information so he has to be in the room. Sonny complains about Will not being able to tell him what the big scoop is. Will assures him that he will know soon.

Austin questions Carrie flying her parents across the ocean because they had a fight. Anna clarifies that Carrie had no idea they were coming. Austin guesses that she must have told them they are having problems. Anna says they are family and they confide in each other, so they just want to be there for them. Tony acknowledges that he and Anna have had ups and downs as well so they are not judging, but hope they will benefit from their experience. Anna asks what exactly is the problem, money troubles or another person or both. Tony asks what they can do to help.

Shane gives John a special gun that won’t set off any metal detectors. Marlena asks why he would need a gun if he’s just bidding on a necklace. Shane points out that they are not the only ones bidding on the sapphire and that two of the gems have already fallen in to the wrong hands.

The shop owner questions Ciara and Ben knowing Princess Gina. Ciara says they know of her. She says she’s sorry that she couldn’t help and tells them to have a nice day as she heads inside. Ben thought Princess Gina was done when Dr. Rolf took the microchip out of Hope’s brain. Ciara says that’s what she thought too and wonders if this is why Hope has been laying low all these months. Ciara worries about Hope being brainwashed again but Ben reminds her that Stefano is dead and Dr. Rolf is in prison. Ciara doesn’t know what is going on but decides she will call her mom to get some answers.

After Will leaves, Sonny tells Chad he’s sorry about that. Chad gets that Will is busy. Sonny remarks that’s that is what he says. Chad asks what that means but Sonny says it’s nothing. Chad knows he hasn’t kept in touch like he should but he’s still his best friend so he can tell something is going on. Chad asks Sonny to talk to him. Sonny responds that he thinks Will is having an affair.

Carrie tells Anna that there is not another woman or another man, at least not at the moment. Carrie says they’ve had a very long trip so she wants to fix them something to eat and heads to the kitchen. Anna asks Austin what that was about. Austin says she’s upset after they had a fight and it’s his fault because he acted like a jackass. Anna remarks that she can picture that but apologizes and tells him to go on. Austin admits he had a few drinks and then threw her affair with Rafe in her face. Anna thought he made peace with that. Austin says he did too but after a few drinks, here they are. Austin knows it was a one time thing while they were separated and he keeps thinking that he’s over it but then he has a weak moment and blurts out something that he regrets. Austin wants Carrie to know how much she means to him, so he’s been thinking he needs to do something big to prove that. Tony suggests asking Marlena for advice. Austin reveals that he had a sapphire necklace in mind. Austin says that it’s going up for auction tonight and he wants to buy it for Carrie.

John doesn’t want Marlena going to the auction if there will be any kind of danger. Marlena asks who is bidding on the sapphire. John reveals that they recently had an incident involving one of the other gemstones, as the ISA located the ruby in South Africa but the retrieval operation went bad and their agent was killed. John feels there is more to the story than he’s telling. Shane says there always is but he’s not at liberty to discuss the details, even with John. Shane warns that the stakes could be high like life or death, but they aren’t anticipating any trouble tonight. Shane notes that John should just be prepared just in case. John feels there’s nothing to worry about and that this should be a piece of cake.

Eli and Lani kiss on the couch until Paulina and Abe walk back in. Paulina tells them to do their thing and not mind them. Lani jokes that they will finish later. Lani suggests she and Paulina go show Abe and Eli the sights. Paulina says they will, but first she wants to do lunch. Abe says he doesn’t need anything fancy but Paulina says as long as he’s with her, fancy is what he’s going to get. Paulina opens a safe and pulls out a ring, noting that she’s been saving it for a special occasion like this. Lani asks about it. Paulina calls it a one of a kind orange diamond.

Ciara complains that Hope is not answering her phone. Ben assures that she’s fine. Ciara worries about hearing the name Princess Gina and asks if she contact Shane or John. Ben and Ciara then spot a woman in a tiara approaching the shop window and assume it’s Princess Gina. Ciara goes to confront her but is shocked to find out that it is Billie Reed.

Austin shows Anna and Tony a picture of the sapphire necklace. Anna and Tony talk about how expensive that will be. Tony can’t remember Carrie ever liking expensive things. Austin agrees but feels it’s important for him for her to know how much he appreciates her and doesn’t take her for granted. Austin says he wants to get it as a gift for their anniversary next month, so she knows that he knows how lucky he is to be married to her. Anna calls that so sweet and guesses they don’t really need their help. Austin mentions that the auction is being covered by the press and he wants it to be a surprise. Anna tells him that she and Tony would be happy to go to the auction for him.

Shane tells John not to hesitate to reach out if there’s anything he need and wishes him luck. They shake hands as John says he’ll be in touch. Shane then exits the room. John thought Marlena wanted to see Carrie and Austin while they are in town. Marlena says she does. John suggests calling them up to see if they are free for dinner. Marlena says she’s not free for dinner. John points out that she could be. Marlena knows John wants to see Carrie and Austin too so she suggests they try tomorrow. John realizes he’s not going to win this argument as they kiss.

Abe asks Paulina where she got her orange diamond ring. Paulina explains that it was a gift from her friend Michelle and talks about how they were at a dinner at the white house, where she just gave it to her. Abe calls that really generous. Paulina says she was reluctant at first but Michelle could afford to be generous and is married to one of the most powerful people on the planet. Abe is impressed by them being friends. Paulina says they go way back. Abe questions her wearing the ring out to lunch. Lani suggests putting it back in the safe but Paulina says she was saving it for a special occasion like this. Paulina feels they have to have glitz and glamour.

Ciara asks what Billie is doing here and informs Ben that Billie is Kate’s daughter. Ciara explains to Ben how Billie was married to Bo while Hope was brainwashed by Stefano. Ciara questions Billie’s getup. Billie says she thinks wearing a tiara is a thing. Ciara tells her to cut the crap and asks why she is dressed up as Princess Gina. Billie says she can’t talk about it. Ciara asks if she’s undercover on a case. Billie informs her that she’s trying to locate some missing gemstones and the one in the window is one of them. Billie explains that the store is a front for a criminal enterprise so she figured she could use Princess Gina to get an in with the owner. Ciara explains how the owner said she was holding the gem for her longterm client, Princess Gina. Billie questions Ciara not introducing her to Ben. Ciara apologizes and introduces her to her husband, Ben Weston. Billie congratulates them. Ciara says they are actually here on their honeymoon. Billie then stops and questions him being that Ben Weston, the necktie killer who strangled Will. Ciara explains that it’s okay now as Ben and Will are best friends now and Will was Ben’s best man. Billie finds it really strange but says if Will is okay with it. Ciara adds that Will is living happily ever after in Phoenix with Sonny.

Chad tells Sonny that there is no way Will is having an affair. Sonny remarks that it wouldn’t be the first time. Chad says that was years ago and points out all they have gone through since then. Sonny goes over all they have been through and jokes that it would make an interesting movie. Chad says this is real life and they survived and stayed together. Chad knows they are together in this brand new life. Sonny says he can’t ignore the signs as Will is always busy working. Chad argues that he just has a lot going on. Sonny argues that he doesn’t have secrets. Sonny understands Will can’t tell him everything but now he’s not telling him anything and he caught him deleting his call logs. Sonny insists something is going on. Chad thinks it could be something good like a surprise. Sonny doesn’t buy that Will had a meeting to go to and bets he’s not even at the office right now. Chad informs Sonny that Abigail is still in Boston because a few months ago, he got in his head that she was having an affair with Jake but he was way off base. Chad says he was so convinced that he made a big mistake and let his paranoia over nothing get the best of him, so now he has no idea when or if his wife is coming home. Chad begs Sonny to not make the same mistake that he did. Sonny insists that something is off. Chad decides they should check it out then and find out if Will is at the office. Sonny feels it’s wrong to check up on him but Chad says he’ll do it. Sonny texts Chad the number to the news desk so Chad then calls and asks to speak to Will Horton, claiming he has a big tip for him. Chad is informed that Will is out of the office today and not expected to be in. Sonny realizes he was right that Will lied right to his face.

Billie tells Ben and Ciara that she’d love to stay and chat but she doesn’t want to blow her cover and she wants to get her wig off. Ben says now that she knows Hope is not Princess Gina again, they can get back to their honeymoon. Ciara wishes Billie luck in the case and says it was good seeing her. Billie says the same as she tells Ben to take care of his wife and then she walks away.

Sonny insists to Chad that Will is definitely cheating on him. Chad suggests Will could be doing an interview. Sonny complains that he’s not in the office where he said he would be and won’t be in all day. Chad argues that it doesn’t mean he’s having an affair. Sonny says he’s been giving Will the benefit of the doubt for weeks. Chad still thinks there’s a reasonable explanation. Sonny complains about how Will has been acting lately and says he can’t believe him anymore. Chad offers to talk to Will. Sonny says it won’t get him anywhere. Sonny adds that every time he asks Will a question, he gets a vague answer or no answer, which is why he stopped trying. Sonny decides looking up Will’s credit card history might give him a clue because he needs to know. Sonny pulls it up on his laptop and shows Chad that Will booked a room at an upscale spa, which he calls very romantic. Sonny decides he’s heading there right now. Chad doesn’t think that’s a good idea. Sonny says he can’t just do nothing. Chad suggests waiting until Will gets home to talk to him but Sonny refuses so Chad decides he’s going with him, so that he doesn’t do anything stupid.

Anna and Tony go to leave, when Carrie comes back with food and questions them leaving already. Anna says they are going to check in to their hotel. Carrie tells them that they can stay here since Noah is away at school. Anna says they don’t want to impose and Tony wants to stay at their favorite hotel, so they will be back in the morning to catch up on everything. Anna and Tony then exit which disappoints Carrie.

Marlena and John sit together, looking at a picture of the sapphire necklace. Marlena calls it beautiful. John jokes that he would buy it for her in a heartbeat if he could. Marlena appreciates that but says everything she needs is right here. John says if they wrap up the auction early, they can go to the wellness spa that he discovered when released from the clinic. John says Marlena is the reason he got better and reminds her that they got remarried right before leaving Salem, so he had his wife which is what healed him. John says the clinic was good but the atmosphere was sterile. Marlena recalls the couples massage at the spa. John suggests they pay it a repeat visit. Marlena agrees once they get tonight out of the way first.

Ben tells Ciara they will find her a gift that wasn’t stolen. Billie returns and stops them, asking if they saw anyone come out of the antique shop. Ben confirms he just saw a couple come out with a shopping bag. Billie reveals they bought the gem right out from under her.

Carrie apologizes to Austin for saying anything to Anna as she was just really rattled. Austin says he was just thrown at first seeing them here but it’s his fault for being a jackass. Austin says he’s actually really glad they did. Carrie thought Anna drives him nuts. Austin says she does, but her heart is in the right place. Carrie acknowledges that Anna cares about them both very much. Carrie asks if he thought it was strange the way they rushed out of here as it seemed so abrupt. Carrie felt like Anna was up to something. Austin jokes that it’s just Anna being Anna so she has nothing to worry about.

Anna and Tony arrive at the auction. Tony has a glass of champagne while Anna says she wants to focus on the mission because that necklace is going to save her daughter’s marriage, so nothing and no one will stop them from getting it. John and Marlena then arrive and greet them, surprising Anna.

Chad and Sonny go to a penthouse suite. Chad suggests the paper could be paying for it and notes that the front desk didn’t mention Will being with anyone. Sonny feels it’s a big room for one person. Chad believes that Will is probably alone. Sonny declares they are about to find out as he knocks on the door. Chad suggests leaving when Will doesn’t answer but they are shocked when Sonny’s ex Leo Stark answers the door.

Billie questions Ciara and Ben about the couple that bought the gem. Ben tries to describe them but Billie drags him away to come help find them.

Eli, Lani, Abe, and Paulina have lunch on the beach. Paulina says it’s her treat and tells them to just enjoy the view.

Update written by Joseph

Ciara asks Ben what if they had a baby. Ben questions what she just said and asks if she’s serious about them having one.

Steve goes to the Kiriakis Mansion and meets Calista Lockhart. Calista flirts with him and says the pleasure is all her’s.

Justin goes to Kayla’s to bring Bonnie her makeup bag but Kayla informs him that Bonnie is not there yet. Justin questions that since Bonnie was coming by so Kayla could help her get ready for the wedding. Kayla guesses she’s just running a little late. Justin finds that strange since she left the house a while ago and should’ve been here by now.

EJ knocks on Xander’s door so Xander gets out of the shower and answers, complaining about him knocking so loudly, while Bonnie hides underneath the bed.

Jack questions Gwen about what Dr. Snyder was blackmailing her with to get her to agree to run drugs for him. Gwen says he has to understand that she never wanted to hurt him. Jack asks how she would hurt him. They are interrupted by Jack getting a call from Julie. Jack tries to say he’s in the middle of something but Julie tells him something that causes him to say he will be there as soon as he can. Jack hangs up so Gwen asks what’s wrong. Jack informs Gwen that they will finish this conversation later because Julie got locked in the freezer at Julie’s Place. Gwen says they will talk whenever then as Jack rushes out of the house. Gwen then exits as well.

EJ apologizes to Xander if he made his presence known a little too forcefully since he wasn’t answering, but he thought he’d like to see his employment contract, signed by Nicole. EJ says he would like his money first. Xander realizes that’s why he’s so enthusiastic. Xander says he will get his money once he’s sure that EJ did what he said he would do. EJ assures him that the contract is on the up and up. Xander says he’ll be the judge of that as he takes the contract to look it over. Xander tells EJ to sit tight as it might take awhile. Bonnie remains hiding under the bed.

Kayla feels Justin is acting like a nervous groom. Justin points out that it takes awhile for a bride to get ready for a wedding. Kayla says it depends on the bride. Justin says Bonnie is not one to rush through it and questions why she’s not here to start the process. Kayla encourages him not to worry. Justin says they both know that Bonnie can be unpredictable. Kayla decides she will track her down, so Justin thanks her.

EJ tells Xander to take as long as he needs but all the terms and conditions are clearly laid out. EJ assures that his contracts are iron clad so Nicole couldn’t back out of it. EJ adds that Nicole is on board with this deal and points out her signature and that everything is in order. Kayla calls Bonnie, causing Bonnie’s phone to ring from under the bed. EJ asks Xander if he heard that.

Calista explains to Steve that Bonnie was married to her brother David. Steve asks if they are close. Calista points out that she’s at her wedding and asks how Steve and Justin are related. Steve explains that Justin was married to his sister Adrienne until she passed away. Calista mentions losing her husband too. Steve asks what happened. Calista responds that he was murdered and the killer was never caught. Steve asks when that happened. Calista notes that he asks a lot of questions and it makes her wonder why he’s so interested in her.

Xander says he didn’t hear anything. EJ thought he heard a phone buzz but guesses it was a room next door. EJ asks if they have a deal or not. Xander says they do and signs the contract. EJ wants to open the briefcase to make sure the money is all there.

Kayla leaves Bonnie a message, saying that she and Justin are wondering where she is. Justin questions why she’s not picking up. Kayla suggests she could be at the hair salon. Justin argues that she would tell her that. Kayla decides to text Bonnie and says that she and Justin are wondering when she’s coming to the house. Kayla gets a text back from Bonnie, claiming that she’s hung up at the nail salon but will be there any minute. Kayla tells Justin that there is nothing to worry about.

Xander assures EJ that the cash is all there and it would be stupid to try and trick him now. EJ gets a business call and says he has to answer it outside. EJ warns Xander that if a penny is missing from the briefcase, he will back for his pound of flesh. EJ says it was a pleasure doing business as he takes the briefcase, answers his call, and exits the room. Xander declares tha the is back in business, then goes back to the bathroom to finish shaving. Bonnie then sneaks out from under the bed and runs out of the room with the stolen money in her purse.

Ciara questions why Ben looks so uncomfortable. Ben says he’s just surprised. Ciara says they have talked about having a baby before and asks if it’s really such a surprise that she brought it up. Ben says it just caught him off guard because they got married a week ago and are still on their honeymoon, so he’s surprised that she chose now to bring up such a big step for them. Ben thought they’d wait until they got back to reality in Salem. Ciara says she probably would have wanted to wait if it had actually been a week since they got married, but in every way that counts they have been married since last July and should’ve been together all this time if not for Eve, Vincent, Rhodes, and Evan. Ben acknowledges that they lost a year because of them. Ciara is thankful it was only a year, but now they are back together and have their entire future ahead of them. Ben questions what the rush is to have a kid now then. Ciara clarifies that she’s not in a rush but when she’s with him, she can’t help but to imagine a future with him and the dreams they share. Ciara reminds him of their dream of having a baby boy named Bo, but notes that she doesn’t care what the gender is as long as Ben is the father. Ciara declares that she finally has him back and they are finally together, so she can’t wait to make all those dreams come true, but only if he is also on board. Ben tells Ciara that when he had that dream of them having a baby together, he thought he lost her. Ciara says she’s here now so that doesn’t have to live in his head. Ben says it was just one of many dreams about all the things he wants them to share together and thought he would never have. Ciara asks if he doesn’t want those things anymore. Ben says of course not, but they were in his head and this is reality. Ben notes that a baby is a huge responsibility that costs a lot of money. Ciara says it’s not like they don’t make any income. Ben jokes that he’s not getting rich at the garage. Ciara suggests she could work at Titan again. Ben asks if she’d really want to do that since she only did before to prove Victor was framing her for Jordan’s murder. Ciara thinks she’d be really good at that job. Ben asks if Victor would really want her back in the company. Ciara assures that Victor forgave her for everything. Ben worries that Victor will use it against her one day but Ciara is sure that Victor will be on her side, especially if he finds out that she’s carrying his great grandchild.

Gwen goes to Xander’s room. Xander is surprised to see her as he thought they already said their goodbyes. Gwen confirms that they did. Xander reminds her that they can’t be together because Jack thinks he’s a scum of the earth drug dealer. Gwen acknowledges Jack’s article was harsh and says that’s actually why she is here. Xander doesn’t follow. Gwen explains that she couldn’t let Jack think those terrible things about him as it wasn’t fair. Xander says he’s used to people thinking he’s a terrible person. Gwen argues that he’s not because he helped her and kept her safe. Gwen reveals that she told Jack the truth that Xander has been covering for her. Gwen clarifies that she didn’t tell the whole story, just that Dr. Snyder was blackmailing her in to being his drug mule but then Julie called Jack for an emergency so she didn’t get to tell him why she was blackmailed. Gwen and Xander laugh about Julie being stuck in the freezer.

Jack rescues Julie from the freezer at Julie’s Place. Julie complains that she can’t feel her feet as Jack brings her hot tea to warm her up. Julie thanks him for rescuing her. Jack is sorry he didn’t get there sooner. Julie worries about if it was a few more minutes. Jack doesn’t understand how she ended up stuck in the freezer in the first place. Julie reveals that Doug locked her in the freezer. Jack questions why he would do that. Julie says he will have to ask him. Julie explains that they were setting up for dinner and she went back to the freezer but then got locked in. Jack suggests it was an accident but Julie says that Doug looked through the window of the freezer and walked away. Julie adds that she thought Doug must have gone for help but he never came back.

Ciara tells Ben that she gets that their life has been unstable, but they don’t have to be rich to have a baby as she’s pretty sure their jobs will be enough. Ben asks who is going to take care of the kid if they are both working. Ciara says she will work remotely sometimes and they will arrange hours or hire a nanny. Ben questions both working like crazy to earn enough but then hire someone to watch the baby while they are working. Ciara says they will make sacrifices but people do it all the time so they can manage. Ben questions setting the bar for parenting at managing. Ciara questions why Ben is arguing every point she makes and asks if she’s missing something or if he just doesn’t want to have a a baby with her.

Kayla tells Justin that the mystery is solved and Bonnie will show up with freshly painted nails. Justin is relieved and apologizes. Kayla doesn’t think there is anything to worry about. Justin admits he was more worried that Bonnie got cold feet. Kayla assures that Bonnie is crazy about him. Kayla adds that Bonnie went on and on about how much she loves him last night and she can’t wait to be his wife. Justin asks if Bonnie wasn’t concerned at all. Kayla says not about him, but she was worried about Calista.

Calista tells Steve that she doesn’t mind his questions since it’s been awhile since she’s been showered with attention by such a handsome man. Steve says he’s just a curious guy. Calista asks about Steve’s eye patch and how he lost his eye. Steve reveals it was in a knife fight. Calista calls that dramatic and sexy. Calista mentions that weddings put her in a certain mood and invites Steve upstairs, claiming she’s getting a vibe between them. Steve then reveals that he’s married to the matron of honor and very happy. Calista says she understands but jokes that she won’t tell if he won’t.

Ben tells Ciara that he does want to have a baby with her. Ciara feels it really doesn’t seem like it. Ben says that’s only because he’s spent the entire year wanting to do anything to have one more minute with her, so now he’s trying to soak it all up because he knows every moment with her is a gift and he loves being with her, just the two of them. Ciara asks if he thinks a baby is going to ruin that. Ben says he’s just worried about skipping steps. Ciara says she gets that as they think they have all this time, but they don’t know how much time they will have. Ben adds that no one understands that better than he does, but being with her like this on their honeymoon is the happiest he’s ever been in his entire life. Ben says he may be selfish, but he’s not ready to give that up yet. Ciara tells him the honeymoon won’t last forever. Ben jokes that it can last a little bit longer as he kisses her. Ben adds that he lost her for too damn long, so now he wants her all to himself. Ciara questions him not wanting to have the baby conversation at all. Ben asks if it would be alright to postpone talking now.

Justin asks Kayla about Bonnie’s concerns with Calista. Kayla says she doesn’t know but Bonnie was upset, and when she asked her about it, she just said it was Calista. Justin brings up Bonnie being really jumpy when Calista barged in to their bedroom. Justin says he’s still a little unclear about their relationship. Justin asks if he should talk to Bonnie about this before the wedding. Kayla says it’s his call but she doesn’t think there is anything to worry about since Bonnie is completely in love with him. Justin says the feeling is mutual which makes Kayla happy. Justin admits he never saw her coming, but now he can’t imagine his life without her. Justin knows it took Kayla and Steve awhile to come around on Bonnie after what she did to Adrienne. Kayla notes that was a long time ago and they think Bonnie has completely changed. Justin says it means a lot to him that they approve. Kayla jokes that Bonnie will always be quirky but she doesn’t think she’s the same woman who tried to destroy Adrienne’s life and break every law. Kayla believes Bonnie has turned her life around and that maybe motivated by Justin’s love and kindness. Kayla thinks that Bonnie is truly a good person.

Bonnie returns to the Kiriakis Mansion to find Calista trying to make a move on Steve and questions what is going on here. Calista says they were just getting better acquainted. Steve asks what Bonnie is doing here when she’s supposed to be getting dressed at the wedding at Kayla’s. Bonnie says she got hung up so she never made it to Kayla and figured it would be faster to get dressed here. Steve points out that she forgot her makeup bag so Justin was on his way over to Kayla’s to take it to her. Steve offers to call Kayla but Bonnie decides that Calista can help her get dressed. Bonnie asks Steve to call Justin and telling him to bring her makeup bag back. Calista and Bonnie then head upstairs.

Jack asks Julie if she’s sure that Doug saw her in the freezer. Julie says they made eye contact and the Doug she knows would never lock her in the freezer. Julie doesn’t know where Doug is now and thinks something is terribly wrong.

Xander asks Gwen if Julie is alright. Gwen assures that Jack went to rescue her. Xander asks if Gwen is going to tell Jack that her miscarriage happened before her fall down the stairs and had nothing to do with her fight with Abigail. Xander notes that it’s a big risk. Gwen doesn’t think she has any other way out of this. Xander adds that Jack won’t react well. Gwen worries that Jack will be so disappointed in her since he’s worked so hard to bring her in to his family and make up for lost time. Gwen doesn’t think Jack will ever be able to look at her the same. Xander argues that she doesn’t have to do it but Gwen feels she can’t let Jack keep posting nasty stories about him that are untrue, as it will hurt his reputation. Xander mentions the million dollars he spent on his defense. EJ then knocks on the door, demanding Xander open the door and calling him a thief.

Justin is glad that Kayla thinks Bonnie has turned over a new leaf. Kayla confirms that she does and she trusts Justin’s judgment. They joke about Justin being Bonnie’s lawyer and husband as Justin says they don’t want anything connected to the wedding to feel awkward. Kayla acknowledges that it’s strange that she is Bonnie’s matron of honor and Steve is his best man, but she feels the winding road led them to where they really should be. Justin agrees. Kayla feels they had help from above as she’d like to think Adrienne is smiling down on all of them.

Xander opens the door as EJ questions what the hell he’s tryin to pull. EJ opens the briefcase and shows him that it’s empty. Xander doesn’t understand. EJ tells him not to act surprised. Xander knows the money was there this morning. EJ asks if he left it unattended. Xander assures that it’s been with him the whole day. EJ declares that if he’s not lying, then someone stole it because a million dollars doesn’t just walk away on it’s own.

Bonnie brings Calista to her room and gives her the money. Calista says it’s about time and talks about how sexy Steve is. Bonnie asks her to stop and complains that she almost got caught stealing the money, so she would’ve been thrown in prison on her wedding day. Bonnie talks about hiding under a bed while worrying how disappointed Justin would be. Calista jokes about the kind of woman Justin is marrying. Bonnie argues that she’s not a crook anymore. Calista remarks that she had to live with the consequences of stealing her money. Bonnie says that was years ago and she told Justin that she’s done with that life, so she prays he never finds out about this. Calista says he won’t hear from her as she will just take the money and be on her way. Bonnie stops her and says that she’s not going anywhere until she gives her the gun.

Ciara tells Ben that if he’s not ready to have the baby conversation then they can postpone it, because she wants to spend as much time as she can with him too. Ben asks if she’s sure she’s not upset. Ciara says she was just excited for them, finally having a future and being back together with nothing to stop them. Ben promises he’s excited too and he wants to have a baby with her, just not right now. Ciara says she understands and asks why skip steps when each one is so perfect. Ciara decides they should focus on getting to New Orleans if he’s ready to hit the road. Ben agrees that they are on to their next adventure. They say I love you to each other and kiss.

Julie tries calling Doug but he’s not answering. Julie worries about where he could be. Jack assures they will find him. Julie admits she’s getting scared as she has no idea why he would leave her like this. Julie wonders if something awful has happened to him.

EJ complains that he’s out a million dollars. Xander argues that there must be a reasonable explanation. EJ threatens to send Xander to prison and rips up his contract, saying he can forget about his job. EJ then storms out of the room. Gwen asks Xander if he scammed EJ. Xander assures that he was telling the truth as he thought the money was in the briefcase and he never let it out of his sight. Gwen asks if he let anyone else in. Xander remembers Bonnie coming over and admits that someone else was there.

Kayla gets a call from Steve and tells him that Justin is here and they are still waiting on Bonnie. Steve states that she asked him to tell her that she’s not coming because she came back and decided to get ready at the house with Calista. Steve informs Kayla that he met Calista and admits he didn’t get a great vibe.

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.

Y&R Update Monday, September 6 2021

Young & The Restless Update

Y&R logo

Recap written by Christine

At Crimson Lights on the patio, Nick told Devon that the launch was a huge success, and Adam brought up the New Hope tie in in his opening speech. Devon was sorry he missed the party. Nick understood Devon had a lot going on after delivering a baby. He called Devon a hero.

At the hospital, Mariah asked Abby if there was news on Stitch. There wasn’t, but Abby didn’t think he’d risk coming back here, now that he had Max with him. Tessa said he’d better not, if he knew what was good for him. Mariah was on edge, and Abby assured her that Devon hired extra security for the house, so she’d be safe. “And Dominic will be too,” Mariah said. Later, Abby was out of the room. Mariah was anxious about leaving. She felt safe here in the hospital, with Bowie right down the hall. When they left, she’d have to remember to call him Dominic. Tessa knew it’d be difficult, but they were still living at the Chancellor house, so they’d be able to see the baby every day. Mariah felt better knowing he’d be close by so she could see and watch over him. Abby returned and said “The paperwork’s all taken care of. Now, let’s bring our baby boy home.”

The Chancellor mansion was decorated in baby blue for Dominic’s arrival. Victor asked Sharon how Mariah was doing, and Sharon admitted it’d been rough. Victor vowed that what Mariah did for Abby wouldn’t be forgotten. Nina and Ashley arrived together. They were grateful their grandson was alive after what Stitch put him through. Nina wished she could talk to Chance. Victor wished he were here to welcome his son home. Nina knew Chance would want them to have a joyous and memorable homecoming for Abby, the baby and Mariah. Victor welcomed Ashley to the grandparents’ club. Devon came with a lot of gifts, but he didn’t plan to stay, because he didn’t want to crowd Abby and Mariah on their special day. Sharon thought Devon should stay, because it was a special moment for him too. Abby, Dominic, Mariah and Tessa arrived. Abby introduced Dominic to his grandparents. The others watched from a distance, and Mariah tried to put on a brave face. Later, everyone sat down in the living room, and Devon gave Mariah credit for protecting Dominic. This sparked a discussion about what Mariah had been through. Ashley said it wasn’t like the Ben Rayburn she knew. Nina asked if Mariah had any idea why Ben held her captive. Mariah didn’t know, and she seemed uncomfortable, so Tessa said she was taking her outside for air. They left. Ashley and Nina thought Mariah was strong and courageous. Sharon was proud of Mariah, but she said they couldn’t disregard the severity of what she’d been through.

In the park, Mariah confided in Tessa that she couldn’t seem to let go. She was just supposed to be an incubator, a carrier, and it was supposed to be simple to just walk away. Tessa thought it made sense for Mariah to struggle after everything she’d been through. Mariah agreed and said maybe, if she weren’t locked away with Bowie… Dominic, fighting to survive, she wouldn’t have this connection. But she was locked away, and she did have that connection. Tessa thought that was natural. “I was literally his only lifeline, and he was mine. We needed each other to survive. And I think Dominic feels that too,” Mariah stated.

Ashley, Nina and Devon watched Abby walk around rocking her baby. “No one is ever gonna take you from me again,” she said.

Billy ran into Victoria at Crimson Lights and told her she missed a doozy of a party. She observed that he didn’t have any bruises. He said he’d behaved, but there was a new troublemaker in town who wasn’t afraid to take on the big dogs. He brought Victoria up to speed. She thought Adam and Sally deserved one another, and she laughed about Phyllis dousing Sally with ice water. For the first time, she was siding with Phyllis, because of what Sally did to Summer. She didn’t regret missing the party, because she spent quality time with their children. He said Nick told him that she missed the party because Ashland had a hard time after chemotherapy. He hoped Ashland was okay. She noted that he was going full steam ahead on this story, which was supposed to be about Tara, but the investigation had zeroed in on Ashland instead. She said that he professed to be supportive, but he was focusing on Ashland, and not the criminal, Tara. He said he’d always support her and the children. She appreciated that, but she said Ashland wasn’t the enemy. Victoria knew Billy would overplay anything negative that his reporters turned up. Billy stated that Ashland was hiding something big, and he thought Victoria sensed it too.

Billy told Victoria to be honest – how much did she really know about Ashland’s past, particularly his early business days. “So, it was you digging around in Ashland’s past. Lily wouldn’t admit it outright,” she said. Victoria snapped that if you dug in anyone’s past long enough, you’d find someone willing to trash them. He thought there were legitimate questions about how Ashland paid for those TV stations and the nature of his relationship with that older wealthy mentor. “Stay out of Ashland’s life. Stay out of our lives,” Victoria ordered. She walked out as Billy questioned her about what Ashland was hiding. Nick came inside and asked what that was about. Billy thought he hit a nerve.

Billy said he questioned Victoria until she stormed out. Nick said his sister didn’t like to be challenged. Billy thought Victoria was more worried about Ashland than she wanted to admit. Nick said that Victoria might be annoyed with Billy prying. Billy noted that Victoria didn’t know where Ashland got the money to buy the station. Nick suggested the mentor gave it to him. Billy was skeptical about an off-the-books deathbed favor. Nick said Billy had nothing besides this deep desire to find something damning on Ashland. Billy was adamant that this was about protecting his children, not jealousy. He was sure that Victoria could take Ashland on with her hands tied behind her back, as long as she had the facts. Billy was arguing his point when Victor walked in and said this was none of Billy’s business. Billy thought they were on the same page here, but Victor doubted that. Victor heard from an employee that Billy was sneaking around his private suite last night. He said not to do it again. Billy told Nick to think about what he said, and he left. “You didn’t want Billy to know that I was the one who told you about the break in,” Nick stated. Victor said no, because he needed information from Billy’s sources, and he didn’t want to cut that off. Nick knew Billy would do everything he could to prevent Ashland from hurting Victoria. He added that, so far, Billy seemed open to keeping him in the loop. Victor couldn’t stand Billy, but they couldn’t afford to lose access to the information that he was gathering. Nick said that Billy’s investigators hadn’t found anything Victor’s hadn’t, so far. Victor decided not to destroy ChancComm until he found out what he wanted to know about Ashland Locke. Nick was okay playing the double agent, getting information from Billy and taking it back to Victor. There was something about Ashland that Victor didn’t trust, and he wanted all the information before the wedding, if there was a wedding.

Ashland bumped into Nate at Society and told him that the supplements were helping. To repay the favor, Ashland wrote a large check. Victoria told him that Nikki was helping Nate fund raise for a hospital wing. “Consider this half a wing,” Ashland said. Nate appreciated the generosity, but he hoped Ashland didn’t think he treated him in hopes of getting money. Ashland still wanted to repay Nate’s kindness. Nate wanted to at least give Ashland a proper pitch on how the hospital would use the new wing. Ashland suggested they discuss it over drinks with the women in their lives, and Nate accepted. Victoria walked in as Nate was leaving.

Victoria told Ashland she’d had a run in with Billy. She then praised Ashland’s generous donation to Memorial and wished that everyone could see this side of him. He only cared what she saw in him. She said that if Billy knew about this, he might see Ashland differently. Victoria mentioned that Billy kept questioning how Ashland bought the news stations to start his career. She asked if there was anything he wasn’t telling her, something Billy might dig up and use against him. She assured him he could be honest with her. As the daughter of Victor Newman, there was nothing that Ashland could say that would shock her. She hoped he knew he could trust her. He did trust her. He’d been ruthless, but he never broke the law, and he defied Billy and anyone else to prove otherwise.

Adam was on a jog through the park, but he stopped when he saw Sally bending over, lacing her shoes. She turned around and saw him. She was awkward, and he told her to relax. She couldn’t, because after that kiss, which he said couldn’t happen again, she was wondering what he thought of her. He claimed that he thought the awkwardness was because she got into it with Phyllis. Sally maintained that Phyllis deserved to get a drink thrown in her face. He said the night was a success, even with the side of drama. He assured Sally that they were good. Chloe walked up and overheard Sally ask Adam to dinner. She didn’t approve.

Chloe walked up and said hi to Sally and Adam. Deciding Chloe should hear it from her, Sally revealed that she got into it with Phyllis. Chloe wasn’t surprised. Smirking, Adam gave Chloe the details. Chloe thought that Adam should’ve kept an eye on Sally and Phyllis to make sure this didn’t happen. He commented that she could always find a reason to blame him. Chloe asked what kind of damage control they’d need to do, and Sally said, fortunately, the press didn’t know about this, and no one posted a video online. She credited Adam’s PR management, but he said it was mostly dumb luck. He told Chloe to ask Sally about the idea she came up with last night at the launch. He left. Chloe had a sense of what Sally’s idea was.

Sally didn’t know what Chloe was insinuating, but she insisted that nothing happened between her and Adam last night. Chloe saw the pictures of Sally arriving on Adam’s arm. Sally said it was innocent, but Chloe said there was no such thing where Adam was concerned. She noted that Sally played with fire, even after all the warnings, and she asked how far it went. Sally admitted she and Adam shared an impulsive kiss that didn’t go further. Chloe was glad Sally hit the brakes. Sally clarified that she initiated the kiss, and Adam stopped it because he said he was toxic. Sally thought the fact that Adam acknowledged he had a problem signaled growth. Chloe said Adam was uniquely diabolical, and no matter how strong Sally thought he was, he’d find a way to wreck her. Sally contended that she held her own against Phyllis, which she thought meant she could deal with difficult people. Chloe praised healthy relationships instead of being with difficult people. Sally thought that sounded a little boring. Chloe realized Sally wouldn’t take her advice on this. Chloe said that life for Adam’s son Connor hadn’t been easy, and he still thought his parents were in a relationship, so whatever connection Sally thought she had with Adam, it would get harder before it got easier.

Adam and Sally ran into each other again at The Grand Phoenix. He’d had a meeting, and he hoped she didn’t think he was stalking her. It never crossed her mind. She was there to change at the gym, since it was closer than going home. Plus, she’d take any opportunity to tick Phyllis off. Sally shifted gears. Her job was important, so she thought she and Adam should hit the reset button and act like the kiss never happened. Adam assumed Chloe had something to do with this. Sally stated that she took Chloe’s repeated warnings about Adam with a grain of salt until today. She mentioned what Chloe said about Connor. Sally didn’t want to hurt Adam’s little boy. Adam said Connor always came first, and that was a big reason why he put the brakes on with Sally. He guessed that meant she was rescinding her dinner invitation, but she said it could be a working dinner. He thought about it and agreed. Chelsea called, so he stepped away to take it.

Elena looked over her contract at ChancComm. She mentioned to Lily that Newman Media tried to offer her a job. Lily couldn’t believe they’d tried to poach Elena, and she said she guessed the competition had begun. Lily grumbled about how low Newman Media stooped. Elena said it was fine, she was signing this contract, and she didn’t entertain Victor’s offer. Lily promised Elena’s loyalty would be repaid. Elena admired Lily for stepping into this high powered position with poise and grace. Elena was curious about something, but then she decided not to be intrusive, because Lily was her boss. Lily said she was off the clock, and they were going to go out and have girl talk.

Lily and Elena went to the Crimson Lights Patio. Lily said the best part was being able to give jobs to some of the women she was in prison with and seeing them turn their lives around. She was grateful to be able to be part of that. Elena couldn’t imagine how hard that was for Lily. Lily said the hardest part was not seeing her family. Her family was together again. She hoped her kids would come home, and she was glad Devon and Nate made peace. Elena felt guilty about her part in that. Lily said Elena played a large part in helping them reconcile, and she was glad Elena was part of the family. Elena said that they sort of had a baby in the family. Having gone through the surrogacy thing, herself, she really believed everything would be fine.

Recap written by Christine

Devon and Nick discussed New Hope. Mariah and Dominic came home from the hospital. Victor, Nina and Ashley met their grandson. Devon brought baby gifts for Dominic, and Sharon convinced him to stay for the welcome home party. Mariah was uncomfortable when people questioned her about her ordeal, so Tessa got her out of the house. Mariah confided to Tessa that she was having a hard time letting go of Dominic. She thought the baby felt the bond they shared. Abby promised Dominic that no one would ever take him from her again. Billy brought Victoria up to speed on the Newman launch party. Billy thought that deep down, Victoria sensed Ashland was hiding something. He tried to get her to admit that, but she ordered him to mind his own business and stormed off instead. Billy shared his suspicions about Ashland with Nick. Victor told Billy to mind his own business. Victor and Nick later agreed that Nick would play the double agent, learning everything Billy uncovered about Ashland and taking the information back to Victor. Victor decided not to destroy ChancComm until he’d gotten the information he needed on Ashland. There was something about Ashland that Victor didn’t trust. Ashland made a large donation to the hospital to repay Nate for his help the other day. Victoria asked Ashland if there was anything he was holding back that Billy might be able to uncover and use against him. Ashland said he’d been ruthless, but he never broke the law. Sally invited Adam to dinner, and Chloe overheard. Sally admitted to Chloe that she kissed Adam and he put the brakes on. Chloe warned Sally that pursuing things with Adam could hurt Connor. Sally told Adam that she was going to heed Chloe’s warning because she didn’t want to hurt Connor. Adam admitted Connor was a large part of the reason he didn’t take things further with Sally. She suggested they make the dinner a working dinner, and he agreed. Adam had to step away to take Chelsea’s call. Elena told Lily how Newman Media tried to poach her. Elena and Lily hung out and talked about the past and family. Lily was glad Elena was part of the family.

Victor: Your little display with that Spectra woman was something.

Phyllis: She threw a drink in my face.

Victor: Kindly refrain from any further antics, alright?

Phyllis: Victor, I can’t be responsible for who your — your son, Adam, decides to escort here on his arm. I mean, that girl is trouble. I provide the venue and the food, but the rest is you.

Victor: Phyllis, behave.

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

Billy: I found nothing. No secret, no surprise about what they’re planning on launch tonight, which means there’s nothing going on, and this is all smoke and mirrors. Either way [Sighs] What are we doing wasting our time? Let’s get the hell out of here.

Lily: Okay, is it possible maybe you heard all the positive buzz going around and you got bummed out?
[ Chuckles ] Come on. What do you expect? We’re at a party filled with people singing Newman Media’s praises. Doesn’t mean that we can’t try to outmaneuver them still.

Billy: I know, but it’s nauseating, watching them congratulate each other over and over. Let’s go have dinner at Society.

Lily: Oh, my — no, that is petty.

Billy: What’s worse, I die of boredom, watching them pat each other on the back over and over and over?

Lily: Well, if you die of boredom, then you can’t indulge in what I have planned later.

  • AMC+ KIN – Thursday, September 9 Show More
    Irish gang drama Kin, premiering September 9 on AMC+, unveiled an engrossing trailer and key art for the series today, a first look at a devastating war begun by a murder in a family where loyalty is paramount. Starring Charlie Cox (Daredevil, Boardwalk Empire), Clare Dunne (Herself), Aidan Gillen (Game of Thrones) and Ciarán Hinds (Game of Thrones, The Terror), Kin charts the lives of the Kinsellas, a small but tight-knit crime family embroiled in a war against a powerful drug kingpin, Eamon Cunningham (Hinds). A boy is killed and his family embark on a gangland war with an international cartel – a war that is impossible to win. It’s David and Goliath. Out-numbered, out-financed and out-gunned, the Kinsellas find themselves holed up in their Dublin stronghold while their businesses fail, and family members and associates are picked off. But they have something the cartel does not: the unbreakable bonds of blood and family. Kin is a world where gangsters are treated like reality stars, with nicknames and celebrity status, where assassins dress up as women, and drug dealers keep exotic pets in their den. A world of drugs and guns and murder and loyalty and family and men… and a woman. Promo

Moore, Orange Is the New Black). It’s not until their chance meeting during a takedown that Sam and Kelly realize they’re going after the same target… and they couldn’t disagree more on strategy, and pretty much everything else. However, they are forced to put their differences aside in their quest to dismantle the Stockwoods, a Toronto street gang dealing drugs and wreaking havoc on the community. As the season unfolds, we’ll learn that despite their differences, they’re both grappling with loneliness, dysfunctional families, screwed-up love lives, and a sense that their professional ambitions may not be totally in line with their personal needs. Through various experiences, they learn that their unlikely friendship may be exactly what they need to help them find balance on and off the job… if only they didn’t drive one another utterly insane.

  • ABC Women of 9/11: A Special Edition of 20/20 with Robin Roberts (9/6) Show More
    “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” kicks off the commemorative week on SUNDAY, Sept. 5, with an in-depth look at the fallout from America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan with insight from Raddatz and her two decades of on-the-ground reporting in Afghanistan.
    Anchored by Davis, the hour-long special “9/11 Twenty Years Later: Women of Resilience,” streaming MONDAY, Sept. 6 (7:30-8:30 p.m. EDT), on ABC News Live, features the dramatic stories of four inspiring women who survived trauma and loss on 9/11 to find purpose and peace after two decades. One is the first-ever female FDNY firefighter who, along with her fellow first responders, rushed to ground zero on 9/11. Another is a heroic Army colonel at the Pentagon who narrowly escaped death and saved several lives while jumping from the burning inferno. A mother and a widow share their stories of loss and redemption, ensuring their lost loved ones will never be forgotten.
    Narrated by Stephanopoulos, five-part documentary series “9/11 + 20: The Longest Shadow,” streaming on five consecutive nights beginning MONDAY, Sept. 6 (8:30-9:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC News Live, examines a nation and world completely changed by the terrifying moments when al-Qaeda operatives used U.S. jetliners to attack America on Sept. 11, 2001. Returning to the morning of Sept. 11, the series explores what America is and has become in the aftermath of one of the most traumatic events in history. From families still searching for answers, their responses and the failures that allowed terrorists to turn planes into missiles to the fear over an anticipated “second wave” of attacks and a seemingly endless war on terror, each episode navigates viewers through the past twenty years to today. The series, produced by ABC News’ Investigative Unit, will be rebroadcast on ABC News Live in full following the commemoration ceremonies on the anniversary, Saturday, Sept. 11, 2021.
    For the first time, after two decades, the women whose lives changed forever on Sept. 11 tell their stories of survival, pain and redemption in a landmark two-hour documentary special, “Women of 9/11: A Special Edition of 20/20 with Robin Roberts,” hosted and executive produced by Roberts, airing WEDNESDAY, Sept. 8 (9:00-11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC. From the heroic female first responders and workers who risked everything in dangerous jobs at ground zero to the miracle survivors, including Genelle Guzman-McMillan, the last person pulled out alive from the World Trade Center rubble after 27 hours, and the women who suffered heartbreaking loss; all of them bonded in trauma, grief, and after two decades, remarkable strength and resilience. “The Women of 9/11” is produced for ABC News by Rock’n Robin Productions in collaboration with Plimsoll Productions.
    “20/20” will present two specials on Friday, Sept. 10:
    • Two decades after 9/11, anchor David Muir reports on how the day’s tragic events forever changed the world. In the one-hour special event, Muir interviews survivors and family members who lost loved ones in the attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and United Flight 93 in Shanksville. The survivors share their harrowing personal stories of rescue and escape, including Florence Jones, who Muir has followed for years. Muir also spends time with families who lost loved ones, including the family of Flight 93 passenger Tom Burnett who, along with other passengers, helped stop an additional attack on our nation’s capital. “20/20” will also revisit Joseph Pfeifer, the New York City Fire Department chief, who Muir has profiled, who led the command post at the north tower following the initial attack – and firefighters who survived the north tower collapse. Muir’s interviews include personal and moving messages to the American people from survivors and relatives of some of the victims on what they’re hoping Americans will do to honor those who were lost — 20 years later. The special edition of “20/20” airs Friday, Sept. 10 (9:01-10:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC.
    • Twenty years ago, in the wake of Sept. 11, ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer sat down with young women holding their infants — who were pregnant when their husbands died in the attacks. The mothers she met were fresh in grief, holding new babies who often looked like their dads. Over the years, Sawyer and her team followed these families as they look at the world through their unique lens, with their children’s lives in part shaped before they were even born. Now, as those children approach their 20th birthdays, a special edition of “20/20” brings nearly 40 families together again. Has grief given them new purpose? Are some following in their fathers’ footsteps? A master class in resilience and hope comes from a group forever bonded by a national tragedy. With lessons to teach us after a year of national trauma, they hand us a blueprint for survival. The special edition of “20/20” airs Friday, Sept. 10 (10:00-11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC.

    Here we are once again. Another Big Brother 23 Eviction Day. But tonight, we will lose two houseguests because it’s a the first of two double evictions.
    While the second eviction is going to be impossible to predict, we’ll still run some scenarios. But for the first, it’s going to be Xavier or Claire. And let’s be real, it doesn’t take a psychic to predict who is going home between those two. It is going to be Claire. The Cookout has not turned on each other yet. That could happen in the second half the show tonight, however.
    But in the first eviction, it will be Claire heading out 3-2 or 4-1 vote. We can expect Hannah and/or Azah to give Claire a vote to stay, but that’ll be about it.

  • USA Network WWE RAW – Monday, September 6, 8:00PM Show More
    09/06/21 – Bengaluru, September 6: Heading into Extreme Rules 2021, WWE Monday Night Raw will present a jam-packed edition with two title matches on the card. Raw Women’s championship and 24/7 Championship will be on the line in traditional singles encounters, while a huge tag team turmoil has been added to the card to determine new contenders for the tag titles.
    Two of the most physical competitors from the red brand will go to war with the United States championship opportunity on the horizon. Plus, Women’s Tag Team Champions will be back in action after a brief hiatus on the show which is set to emanate from the FTX Arena in Miami, Florida.
    Starting with the WWE Championship, Bobby Lashley has taken his status to the next level after successfully defending the belt against Goldberg at Summerslam. The legendary superstar is still focused on the champion after the altercations went down at the PPV event. But for now, it appears that a Viper could be lurking around the WWE Title. Lashley wanted to become a dual champion as he and Lashley challenged Team R-K-Bro for WWE Raw tag team titles, last week. Riddle pinned MVP, clean to retain but a frustrated Lashley took him out with a Spear. Orton claimed payback with an ‘RKO outta nowhere’ which was a setup for a future title match. As per Wrestling Observer, Orton vs. Lashley could happen at Extreme Rules as we wait for the confirmations from WWE.
    A heated back-and-forth battle went down between Charlotte Flair and Nia Jax, last week which was touted to be a shoot fight between the two. In the end, The Irresistible Force picked up an important win over The Queen after connecting with a vicious Powerbomb. This non-title win earned the Samoan Superstar a title match opportunity. As per WWE’s announcement, Nia Jax is set to challenge Charlotte Flair for her Raw Women’s Title, tonight. This marks the first title defense for the champion after she won the belt, her 12th title win by defeating Rhea Ripley and Nikki Cross ASH in a triple threat at Summerslam 2021.

    Correspondent Tracy Smith and 48 HOURS’ report into the murders of Daniel Anderl, the son of prominent federal Judge Esther Salas and attorney Mark Anderl, and of attorney Marc Angelucci in an encore of “The Deliveryman Murders,” to be broadcast Saturday, Sept. 11 (10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+. Anderl was shot in New Jersey and Angelucci was killed eight days earlier and 2,800 miles away in the mountains of San Bernardino, Calif. The two murders captured the nation’s attention because they involved the family of a federal judge and a high-profile attorney and each involved a killer impersonating a deliveryman. Investigators would later link the two crimes to one killer: Roy Den Hollander, a 72-year-old attorney with extreme views on men’s rights. Investigators say he held grievances against Angelucci and Judge Salas. Den Hollander was later found in the Catskill Mountains of New York with a fatal, self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head. Smith and 48 HOURS report on the murders through interviews with friends of Daniel Anderl and a close friend of Angelucci, investigators and more. The broadcast also pieces together the events of the weekend of Daniel Anderl’s death, when he celebrated his birthday with his family and close friends.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nick: Looks like I missed all the excitement. What happened?

Jack: Phyllis, you want to fill nick in?

Phyllis: The launch, uh, presentation is going to start soon. I’ll have to get ready for it. Excuse me.

Nick: Alright, spill it. What happened?

Adam: [ Breathing heavily ] Where did that come from?

Sally: I mean, do we really need to question it? Why don’t we just follow our impulse and see where it leads?

Adam: [ Sighs ]

Abby: Tessa, hey, um, do you have a minute to talk?

Tessa: Yeah. Is something wrong?

Abby: It’s mariah. What she went through is awful. Who knows what this whole ordeal may have done to her?

Mariah: Please…somebody… help. Let us out. Let — let — let us out! My baby needs to live!

Elena: Hello.

Nate: Hey, you made it back.

Elena: Yeah, fortunately, my patient stabilized, and I’m so relieved for her — and for me. Not to be shallow, but this dress deserved to be worn more than a few minutes.

Nate: Well, I will help you make up for lost party time. I promise.

Lily: So, are you really gonna let nick stop you from getting this scoop before the speeches?

Billy: Right now, I think we need a new strategy, starting with you and me launching ourselves out of this dud of a party.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Adam: This would be a massively bad idea.

Sally: Massively bad or enticingly good?

Adam: [ Sighs, chuckles ] Um…both. And, unfortunately, the bad outweighs the good.

Sally: Why, because, technically you’re my boss?

Adam: Um, that’s another excellent reason that I think we need to, um, slam on the brakes.

Sally: Another reason? Okay, so now you have, like, a whole list of reasons not to kiss me?

Adam: No, it’s just one that, uh, overshadows everything else.

Sally: And what could that possibly be?

Adam: I am toxic.

Phyllis: Yeah the ballroom is ready now, so, uh, tell the waitstaff to be ready with the champagne for the toast. Um… no, uh, well, then make sure — make sure we have enough. No delays, please.

[ Sighs ]

Victor: Phyllis.

Phyllis: Oh. Hello.

Victor: Your little display with that spectra woman was something.

Phyllis: She threw a drink in my face.

Victor: Kindly refrain from any further antics, alright?

Phyllis: Victor, I can’t be responsible for who your — your son, adam, decides to escort here on his arm. I mean, that girl is trouble. I provide the venue and the food, but the rest is you.

Victor: Phyllis, behave. I order my groceries online now.

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Sally: Well, that was the most original rejection I’ve ever heard. Don’t you think you might be exaggerating a little bit?

Adam: No, I’m being absolutely truthful. This is not me making up an excuse, alright? ‘Cause I feel a definite attraction between us, sally, but whenever I’ve acted on this impulse with anybody, I have left a wake of destruction behind me.

Sally: I think you might be too hard on yourself.

Adam: No, I’m just being real. Trust me, I’ve been down this road before. It would be a huge mistake.

Sally: Okay, well, I strongly disagree, but since this is such an important night for you, i won’t argue.

Adam: Hm.

Sally: And, frankly, I could make the same case to you about myself because my own romantic track record has a high toxicity level.

Adam: Sally, I want to be perfectly clear. This is in no way a reflection on you, alright? You are smart, and you are dynamic. You’re beautiful.

Sally: Uh, yeah, it’s not me, it’s you. I get it. It’s a damn shame, though, ’cause I feel like it would’ve been pretty spectacular.

Adam: Well, at least this way it can stay spectacular, locked away in our imaginations. Do we agree?

Victor: Tonight is about newman media, alright? So don’t make me regret spending all this money to hold this event at your hotel.

Phyllis: Okay, well, you should regret hiring sally spectra at your company. I mean, here she is, representing your company, and she threw a drink in my face.

Victor: I enjoyed the spectacle, by the way. Didn’t you dump ice water all over her?

Phyllis: Yeah. Well, yeah.

Victor: Let me deal with her, okay?

Phyllis: Okay, you deal with her. And while you’re at it, you should deal with adam. He should get better dates. But, if you ask me, he and sally spectra are a match made in hell.

Jack: A word of warning — sally and phyllis should be kept as far apart as possible for the remainder of the evening, maybe for the remainder of their lives.

Nick: Makes sense. I’m no fan of sally’s either.

Jack: Well, I understand that. I can’t defend her myself.

Sally: I should go outside and get some fresh air before your big speech. Okay.

Nick: Still trying to make sense of that pairing.

Jack: I’m not questioning it. To each his…or her own.

Nikki: Well, congratulations, nate.

Nate: Thank you.

Elena: He is gonna be an incredible chief of surgery. He’s already a brilliant surgeon, so he knows exactly what the department needs, and he’s got all these great ideas, like expanding the hospital’s surgical wing.

Nikki: Oh, I think that’s a wonderful idea. I mean, memorial’s surgical team is top-notch. I still have my granddaughter because of them. I will be forever grateful.

Elena: Right. And just think about all the extra lives we’ll be able to save with the expansion.

Nikki: Well, you sound very proud of him.

Elena: I couldn’t be more proud. I could go another hour talking about all of his accomplishments.

Nate: Okay, okay.

[ Chuckles ] Enough about me. I-I am not the only one making impressive career moves.

Nikki: Oh, is that right?

Nate: Yes, elena here is about to be the new face of askmdnow.

Nikki: Really?

Victor: Well, now, I’m very sorry to hear that.

Nikki: Oh, now, victor, why on earth would you say such a thing?

Victor: Well, because adam was just about to offer elena a very good position as chief medical journalist for newman media.

Elena: What?

Victor: If your contract with chanccomm is now untied, you can always jump ship, you know, and join a far more successful media company.

Elena: [ Exhales sharply ]

Think wearing less makeup

means no need for a wipe?

Abby: She told you about the nightmare that she had? She was held against her will for so long, I can’t help but worry that she’s gonna have lasting emotional scars.

Tessa: Look, I’m concerned, too, but I know how strong mariah is. She is resilient enough to get through this. We’re just gonna have to do everything we can to be there for her and show her nothing but support and love.

Abby: I can’t stop thinking about what mariah went through. She was locked up in a tiny room, no one to talk to, she didn’t know if anyone was coming for her, and she was desperate to protect little dominic, who was growing inside of her. Has she opened up to you about any of this?

Tessa: I’m sure that she’s still processing. I’m gonna talk to sharon about some treatment for her, but I’m hoping that all she really needs is some time.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Dana: Mariah?

Mariah: Hi.

Dana: Little dominic needs feeding.

Mariah: Oh, yeah. Um, I just pumped my milk into a bottle. But would it be okay if — if i fed him?

Billy: I found nothing. No secret, no surprise about what they’re planning on launch tonight, which means there’s nothing going on, and this is all smoke and mirrors. Either way [Sighs] What are we doing wasting our time? Let’s get the hell out of here.

Lily: Okay, is it possible maybe you heard all the positive buzz going around and you got bummed out?

[ Chuckles ] Come on. What do you expect? We’re at a party filled with people singing newman media’s praises. Doesn’t mean that we can’t try to outmaneuver them still.

Billy: I know, but it’s nauseating, watching them congratulate each other over and over. Let’s go have dinner at society.

Lily: Oh, my — no, that is petty.

Billy: What’s worse, I die of boredom, watching them pat each other on the back over and over and over?

Lily: Well, if you die of boredom, then you can’t indulge in what I have planned later.

Billy: Consider me very much alive.

Victor: Well, now, in case you haven’t made a definite commitment to chanccomm, newman media is open to offering you a very lucrative contract, you know.

Elena: [ Exhales sharply ] Wow. I am so flattered, but I’ve already accepted chanccomm’s offer.

Victor: Well, have you signed the contract?

Elena: No, but I gave them my word, and I won’t go back on that.

Victor: I see, I see, I see. Well, sorry to hear that, but i admire your loyalty.

Nikki: Congratulations again. Enjoy the rest of your evening.

Victor: Oh, nice to see you.

Nate: Wow. I am more impressed with you than ever. Not only did you walk away from a boatload of money, but you turned victor newman down flat.

Elena: [ Chuckles ]

Nate: Not many people have the guts to do that.

Elena: Well, I wasn’t gonna abandon lily and sign with her competitor. What kind of person would do that?

Nate: Definitely not your kind.

[ Both chuckle ]

Elena: I will say it feels really good to be wanted.

Nate: Mm. And I will say media companies aren’t the only ones who want you.

Elena: Ah.

Victor: Son.

Adam: Dad. Well, looks like a banner night for newman media.

Victor: Well, I don’t entirely agree. What your girlfriend, or your date for the night, displayed earlier was not good. It almost ruined tonight’s festivities, you know.

Adam: You have nothing to worry about. It’s all under control. Media companies, they thrive on headlines, even when they occasionally create a couple scandalous ones of their own.

Victor: I prefer headlines that point out the successful debut of tonight’s opening of the newman media company, okay?

Adam: I promise you that we will come out of this like champions. We ready to get things rolling?

Victor: This is your night, you know.

Adam: [ Clears throat ] Good evening, everyone. Thanks for coming. If you will join me in the ballroom for the main event, the rise of the next generation of media companies. Nope

Lily: Okay, look, i understand if you want to skip this part, alright, so I will go represent for us, okay? And, plus, I want to see everyone’s reaction.

Billy: Have at it. Better you than me.

[ Sighs ] Hi. Can I get a, uh — make it a double, please — scotch.

[ Clears throat ]

Phyllis: Hey, did they complete sound check? Okay, that’s good to know. Uh, okay, thanks. Hey, baby, you want a drink?

Nick: Hey. No.

Phyllis: Ooh.

Nick: I want to know what happened. Now, jack had your back and didn’t say much more than you and sally were just butting heads.

Phyllis: I mean, I may have exacerbated the situation by, uh, telling her that she was not welcome at the party and that she should leave and keep on going until [Clears throat] She’s out of town.

Nick: Really? Then what?

Phyllis: Uh, I believe that got her angry.

Nick: You think?

Phyllis: Uh, and then, um, may have provoked her to throw a drink in my face, and that may have then caused me to take the ice bucket and pour it over her head. I deeply regret my actions.

Nick: Do you?

Phyllis: No, I don’T. I-I really don’T. I don’T. It was awesome seeing her as a waterlogged mess. It was great.

Nick: Okay. Uh, where did jack come in?

Phyllis: Well, she kept coming at me, and I’m not just gonna stand back and do nothing. So I lunged at her and jack pulled me back and then adam reined her in.

Nick: Listen, I really get your animosity toward her, alright? It’s tough to forget everything she did to our daughter, but you have got to let it go and move forward, because, I’m telling you, sally isn’t going anywhere.

Phyllis: Oh, no. Do you think that’s true?

Nick: She seems very determined to make her mark here. Now, I’m as angry as you are about what she’s done to summer, okay, but it doesn’t do anyone any good for you to kick the hornet’s nest every time the two of you are around each other.

Phyllis: Okay, you make a good point. Well, look at that over there. That’s — that’s a sad sight.

Nick: Since my dad asked me to keep an eye on him, I guess that’s my cue.

Phyllis: Hey, um, I’m sorry if I embarrassed you. And you’re right. You’re right. I’ll just move on from here.

Nick: It’s alright. Just try and stay dry the rest of the night.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] I will. Ugh, wait a second. No, that’s the wrong one. No, no, no, no.

Nick: [ Sighs ] What are you doing out here, billy? Newman media’s about to take off, and, uh, I thought you were willing to spy to figure out what their game plan was.

Billy: Well, I was, but now that it’s all out in the open, it’s a bit of a bore, isn’t it? And, really, I don’t want to hear adam blah-blah-blah about how tremendous newman media’s gonna be. I’d rather sit here by myself.

[ Applause ]

Victor: Good evening. Welcome, everyone, and thank you for coming. I’m very proud to announce the launch of a new enterprise, a new venture, but I’m even prouder to announce that I will be partnering in this venture with my son, adam. We are starting a whole new enterprise, one you will all hear about, I promise you. Without further ado, let me introduce to you the ceo of newman media, my son, adam newman.

[ Applause ]

Adam: Thanks, dad.

[ Sighs ] And thank you all for, uh, coming out to support the most innovative, dynamic, new media company. Now, I bet you’re all wondering what it is about newman media that makes it destined for such phenomenal success, and the answer is power. The power and strength of family, something my father’s been trying to teach me for years. Well, dad, it, uh — it’s finally sunken in. This company was born out of family, it was named for family, and soon we’ll be working with family, doing charitable work with my brother nicholas’ new hope organization, and one day, I hope to bring my own son into the business, just like my father has done with me. But I know I am getting ahead of myself, uh, already thinking about the next generations, and I should be focused on our launch, but we have a lot of new and exciting outlets and platforms in store. So brace yourselves, world, because newman media is coming out swinging.

[ Applause ] Is olay better than your clean beauty?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Lily: I mean, I hate to admit it, but adam put on a surprisingly good speech.

Elena: Yeah, it was so sincere and enthusiastic. You think he’s turned a new corner?

Lily: I mean, it could’ve been an act, but whatever it is, I’m glad I didn’t miss it.

Elena: Speaking of missing, aren’t devon and amanda supposed to be here?

Lily: Uh, they decided to stay in ’cause amanda’s leaving early tomorrow to go on a trip with her mom and sister.

Elena: Aww, she must be so excited to be getting so much closer with them. And he must be so worn out from spending so much time at the hospital. Ah, he’s been so heroic in chance’s absence. He’s been going above and beyond to save mariah and then help bring baby dominic into the world.

Lily: I know.

Elena: [ Sighs ] Oh, excuse me. I am being summoned.

Lily: Okay.

Elena: [ Chuckles ]

Lily: Bye.

Elena: Bye.

Billy: So, what’d I miss? Anything exciting?

Lily: Well, neither victor nor adam made any mention of their competition’s name, including chanccomm.

Billy: Of course not. They’re not gonna give us the free press. But that does not mean that they’re gonna play fairly.

Lily: No, and there were no shots fired, but adam made it very clear that he’s planning on expanding from locke’s original company by procuring more talent and outlets.

Billy: Why am I not surprised?

Lily: Yeah, and he didn’t specify any targets, but I swear he glanced my way.

Billy: Well, let him come after us. We’ll do everything we can to protect our assets.

Lily: And, I don’t know, i might’ve misread victor’s reaction, but it seemed like he didn’t seem very pleased when adam mentioned adding on more entities.

Billy: Well, now, that is exciting, because victor would not give up an opportunity to come and take a shot at chanccomm, which means, if I’m correct, they’re not on the same page.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Okay, honestly, what did you think?

Jack: Well, I’m never going to sing victor newman’s praises, but I’m happy for adam. I want to see him turn his life around. I want to see him put all the anger and resentment in the past. You know what else I think?

Phyllis: I asked you, didn’t I?

Jack: I think the venue was spectacular, I think the food was amazing, and I think all of your hard work really showed.

Phyllis: Thank you. Thank you very much. Ah, I just hope that newman media feels the same. I-I hope that all of that overshadows, you know, that little dustup earlier. By the way, thank you. Thank you for controlling me so it didn’t, you know, go any further.

Jack: Well, I just wanted to spare the loss of any more valuable champagne.

Phyllis: [ Laughs ] Yeah, but it would’ve been worth it to see sally drenched. It would’ve been worth every dime.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, by the way, I hope this is dry. Thank you.

[ Chuckles ]

Abby: I’m gonna go visit dominic.

Tessa: Yes, uh, I would love to join you. I want to be there when mariah wakes up. I do have a surprise for you. I have been writing a lullaby for the baby.

Abby: You have? Ah, play it for me, please, right now.

Tessa: Okay, yes, but it is definitely not done, and I still have some fine-tuning to do.

Waiting all of my life

for the day we’d meet

as the sun goes to sleep

time for you to dream

milky ways

drift away

managing type 2 diabetes?

Victor: I think it was a great success so far.

Adam: We pulled it off. I think it was a hit.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Billy: Ah, well, gentlemen, congratulations. Newman media made it through the night with barely a scandal.

Victor: Who asked you to come over here and talk to us? By the way, you look like three sheets to the wind, you know? You had too much of that good liquor, right?

Adam: Everyone here tonight would agree it was nothing less than a grand slam.

Billy: Well, we’ll see what happens in the morning when you have to actually accomplish something. There’s a big difference between throwing a mediocre party and actually connecting to the masses.

Victor: Oh, you connect to the masses?

Billy: You know, you guys, you have to actually say something that people want to hear in order to have a successful business.

Victor: And you do?

Billy: Oh, yeah.

Victor: Oh.

Billy: Oh, and just so we’re clear, whatever you have planned for chanccomm, we’ll be ready.

Victor: Good.

Adam: Uh-huh. You a little paranoid?

Billy: No, no, not at all. But I don’t trust him. Oh, and I would check with, uh — with phyllis, as well. If you plan on having your going-out-of-business party here, as well, it’ll probably be around the holidays, so you might want to check and see. Usually gets booked up.

Victor: Billy boy… you always have been and always will be a pain in the ass, okay?

Billy: Thank you.

Victor: You have a nice evening. Don’t drink too much of that, okay?

Billy: I’ll be fine.

Victor: We have business to discuss.

Lily: Okay, what did I miss?

Billy: Nothing. I simply came over here to congratulate the competition, and it turned into a posturing event.

Lily: Right. On both sides, I’m sure.

Billy: Can we stop talking about newman media? I think you’ll be happy to see that I didn’t die of boredom, so I am ready to start that after party.

Lily: Oh, I want to get out of here more than you do.

Billy: Trust me, I do not think so.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: You got us a suite?

Lily: Well, victoria opted out of the party and stayed home with the kids, so no need for us to rush back home. And, uh, I don’t know. I felt sentimental being back here.

Billy: I like the way you’re thinking.

Lily: And I didn’t book just any suite, but I booked your old suite, ’cause that’s where we first made love. That’s where it all began.

[ Chuckles ]

Billy: And that’s where it’ll all continue.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: Let’s go upstairs.

Elena: It’s so nice of you to escort me home.

Nate: So nice to have shared this evening with you, even though I now know I was just the plus-one of the hot new talent victor was trying to woo…

Elena: [ Chuckles ]

Nate: …And not invited on my own merits.

Elena: Very funny. I can’t believe I am so in demand right now.

Nate: Well, I am glad I am not the only one who realizes how amazing and special you are. Other people are clearly catching on.

Elena: Well, thank you. But I’m not the only person who’s been shown appreciation. You got nikki newman to offer to help you fundraise for the hospital expansion? How cool is that?

Nate: I know. Tell me about it. I am so stoked to have the fundraising goddess on my side.

Elena: [ Chuckles ] I think we’re on a lucky streak. Maybe we shouldn’t jinx it.

Nate: Ooh, ooh, I don’t — i don’t think we could. Some things are ironclad. Unjinxable.

Elena: I don’t think that’s a word.

Nate: Maybe not, but it’s a fact.

Elena: Hmm. So maybe we should prove that point and keep the night going. I don’t have to work tomorrow, so I can sleep in.

Nate: Mm, I like the sound of that. I think I can actually, uh, change my schedule a little bit myself to stay in.

Elena: Mm. Ariah: Look at you. Yeah, look at you. Oh, boy. We had quite an adventure, didn’t we? You know, I was not sure that we were gonna make it out of there, and, you know what, we probably wouldn’t have if it weren’t for you. You kept me sane in there. You know that? And I’m not gonna forget a single second of it, okay? Oh, gosh.

[ Sniffles ] Wow. It feels so different, holding you out here in my arms than it did when you were inside of me.

[ Sniffles ] I can’t believe how natural it feels, holding you. Do you want to know a secret? Yeah? Do you? I wish I could breastfeed you. Yeah. But I can’T. It’s in the contract I signed.

[ Sniffles ] Don’t worry, okay? That’s my milk. That’s my milk that you’re eating right now. It’s gonna make you strong. It’s gonna make you healthy. Bowie. That’s what you’ll always be to me.

[ Sniffles ] My sweet precious little bowie.

[ Footsteps approaching ] With downy infusions, let the scent set the mood.

Phyllis: I mean, honestly, why did I take the bait? Why did I let that little girl get to me? Seriously? [ Sighs ] Last thing I needed was another scandal at some event at my hotel.

Nick: You got to stop blaming yourself. Sally is a button-pusher. She’s gonna take every opportunity she has to push yours, alright? You should be proud of yourself. You didn’t let things get out of control. My dad’s night wasn’t ruined. There was no real damage done.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Okay. I mean, you’re not gonna judge me for that?

Nick: Like I said, no harm, no foul.

Phyllis: Okay. Thanks. So, are you still gonna pamper me?

Nick: Mm. Yeah, I mean, you’re gonna have to lose the headset first, for sure.

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ] Really?

Nick: Yeah.

Phyllis: Mm. Oh, hang on for a second. Security. Yeah? Oh, yeah, you see the super sexy guy in my room? Okay. What? Um, I’m sorry. We’re gonna need you to take off your jacket and your shirt. Yeah, he’s taking it off right now. And your tie.

Nick: And the tie? Okay.

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ] Okay.

[ Chuckles ]

Nikki: Well, congratulations, darling. Your launch was a smashing success.

Victor: Yeah, I think so, toO. But, you know, I’m still troubled by adam flirting with that woman, whatever her name is.

Nikki: Yeah, sally spectra.

Victor: Oh, okay.

Nikki: I don’t disagree with you. I’m troubled by that woman period. After what she did to summer, she has proven that she can’t be trusted.

Victor: Huh.

Nikki: We’re gonna have to keep an eye on her very carefully.

Victor: Oh, yeah. But you know, I can admit I-i kind of enjoyed phyllis taking that bucket of ice water and pouring it all over her head.

Nikki: I liked that, too.

Victor: You did?

[ Both chuckle ] Oh, yeah. Well, you know, a little excitement.

Sally: I can’t thank you enough for being so understanding about my little scuffle with phyllis tonight. I doubt your father feels the same way. He didn’t seem too pleased.

Adam: Did he say anything to you?

Sally: Mnh-mnh. He didn’t have to. That man has a death glare that could flatten a whole town.

Adam: Listen, um, don’t worry about my dad. He has bigger fish to flatten. Trust me. More importantly, though, how do you think the speeches went over?

Sally: You’re a born leader. Proved yourself to be quite the visionary, and I wasn’t the only one impressed with everything you have to offer. Well, it is getting late. I better get home. In case you were wondering, the answer is yes.

Adam: Hmm?

Sally: Despite your warning, there is a good chance that i will be dreaming of spectacular things tonight about what might’ve been.

Tessa: Aww, mariah, you’re awake. I’m sorry. I wanted to be here when you woke up.

Mariah: Oh, that’s okay. I was just feeding the baby. Um, I’m sorry, abby. It’s just he wa– he was hungry, so…

Abby: No, no, that’s okay. Um, if he needed to be fed, yeah. Um, you know what? Uh, I’m sure he’s not finished yet. Can I take over?

Mariah: Um, he is. Sorry. [ Chuckles ]

Abby: Oh.

Tessa: Well, hey, uh, i finished the lullaby, and, judging by abby’s reaction, she seems like a big fan.

Abby: He probably needs to be burped. I can do it. Yeah?

Mariah: Yeah.

Abby: Thanks. Oh, dominic. Hi. Mommy’s here. Hi, my love. Oh, you are so perfect. My little dominic. I love you so much. Hi, my precious boy.

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Victoria: I had a run-in with billy. Just seems that, no matter what I say, he’s bound and determined to find something damning in your past.

Abby: Welcome, dominic, to your new home and family.

Phyllis: Thoroughly sally. I don’t know who you were hoping she would turn out to be.

Jack: You want an honest answer? I guess I was hoping she’d turn into you.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sally: Mm. Well, now that we’re here, the party has officially started.

Adam: Mm. Well, we definitely captured everyone’s attention.

Sally: Yeah, some more than others. I think it’s time we go greet the coordinator of this fine event.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Alright, lead the way, miss. Hello, phyllis. Place looks great. Just wanted to thank you for handling the festivities. It’s gonna be a big night for newman media.

Phyllis: Big night for me. Lots of publicity for my hotel. And thank you, by the way, for the huge mound of cash you gave me to throw this party.

Jack: Congratulations on this new venture. I wish you lots of success with it.

Adam: Mm, thank you, jack.

Jack: Evening, sally.

Sally: Jack.

Phyllis: You know, I don’t know if success is in the cards for this coupling. I’m pretty sure — now I was just telling jack that the two of you are probably gonna destroy each other, so have a good time while it lasts.

Adam: We will. Thanks.

Jack: Was that really necessary?

Phyllis: Yes, it was. Yes.

Nikki: Whose buttons is adam trying to push by bringing sally tonight?

Victor: I had no idea he was bringing anyone, and I don’t think I would have approved.

Nikki: Well, I have to tell you about some people who will not be attending.

Victor: Who?

Nikki: That’s why victoria called earlier. They’re not coming.

Victor: Oh.

Nikki: Ashland is having a rough time coming off his second round of chemo.

Victor: I’m sorry to hear that.

Adam: Good evening, dad.

Victor: Son.

Adam: Dad, um, this is sally spectra. Sally, this is my father.

Victor: How do you do?

Sally: Hello, sir.

Victor: My wife, nikki.

Nikki: We’ve met.

Sally: Hi, nikki.

Adam: Well, I’m sorry to hear about ashland.

Victor: Yeah, so am I.

Sally: Well, this is gonna be a wonderful evening. I’m so pleased to be here as part of the newman media team.

Nikki: I’ll bet you are.

Adam: It’s gonna be an extraordinary night.

Victor: I certainly hope so. Nice meeting you.

Sally: You as well.

[ Knock on door ]

Devon: Hey.

Amanda: Hey.

Devon: Ready to go?

Amanda: Oh, god. I’m sorry. I completely forgot about the party.

Devon: You forgot? What’s wrong?

Amanda: [ Sighs ] I just got off the phone with michael baldwin, and he is reinstating the charges against sutton. So a court date is being set for my grandfather’s murder trial.

Devon: That’s a good thing, right?

Amanda: Yeah, it is. I hoped that it would happen, but michael wasn’t 100% sure, and now that it’s happening, I — I think I just can’t believe that it’s happening. My grandfather is finally gonna face a jury for the murder of my father.

Devon: Well, hopefully your dad will get the justice that he deserves to get.

Amanda: Oh, my god, I am so grateful. And not just for this. Me and naya, our relationship is getting so much better.

Devon: Yeah?

Amanda: Yeah, and we’re actually going on a short trip with imani — a family bonding thing.

Devon: Get out of here. That’s amazing.

Amanda: Yeah, now with the trial on the horizon, I just — I feel like this long, painful journey has finally come to an end.

Devon: And now a new amazing journey is beginning for you.

Amanda: Yeah. You know, we’ve had a lot of life-altering changes lately, huh? You just brought a new life into this world.

Devon: Yeah, that’s right. That’s — I’m still wrapping my mind around that. I, um — I know one thing — dominic is just the cutest baby I’ve ever seen in my life, and i have some new pictures to show you. Look.

Amanda: Devon, he is absolutely adorable.

Devon: I know, I know. He really, really is.

[ Chuckles ]

Billy: And the award for the most obnoxious entrance goes to adam and sally.

Jack: You don’t have to worry about them. There won’t be any trouble as long as everyone is on their best behavior.

Billy: Are you talking about me?

Phyllis: You mean me?

Jack: Yes and yes.

Sally: I’m disappointed that victoria and ashland won’t be here. I was hoping to find a moment to persuade victoria to let me design her wedding dress.

Adam: Mm. I wouldn’t hold your breath on that. Victoria is not gonna forget what you did to summer, and my sister holds a grudge better than anyone else in the family, even dear old dad.

Sally: You underestimate me.

Adam: Do I? And yet, don’t you work for me?

Sally: I work for newman fashion, and a wedding dress is fashion. But tonight is not about victoria or her dress.

Adam: Mm-hmm, yeah, I’m actually happy that she’s not coming, given her distaste for me. I have enough on my plate already, so things will be a little less precarious without her around. Your heart is at the heart of everything you do.

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Nate: Thank you.

Lily: Thank you.

Nate: Mm-hmm.

Lily: I’m so glad you came to this party.

Nate: Well, I am a bit surprised elena and I were invited, given this is a newman media event. I’d be interested to find out how we made the list.

Lily: I don’t think it’s a mystery. I think victor appreciates what you’ve done for the family at the hospital.

Nick: Oh, yeah, everyone’s extremely grateful for what you did for faith after her accident and then the kidney transplant. I’m surprised my dad invited the executives from chanccomm and also the wildly popular host of the askmdnow site.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Nate: Former host. I decided it was time to go now that I am chief of surgery at memorial.

Lily: Yep. Actually, victor unknowingly invited our new star of askmdnow, who had to run out to check on a patient, elena.

Nick: Oh, she is perfect. She will be great at that.

Lily: I know, that’s what i told her.

Nate: Uh-huh, alright. I see, I get it. I’m already yesterday’s news.

Lily: Yeah, of course. I mean, in the media world moves fast. What can I tell you?

Nate: Yeah, well, hopefully, elena makes it back in time to celebrate with us tonight. Thank you, victor, for the champagne.

Lily: Yeah, thank you, newman media.

[ Laughter ]

Adam: I am not the least bit worried about chanccomm or billy. Yeah, he may think he’s a threat, but believe me, I can handle anything he throws my way.

Sally: You know, I have to admit, I am a little bit curious about the ongoing feud between you two.

Adam: Do you really not know?

Sally: Well, I read the hit job that chanccomm did on you, so, yeah, I know a little bit about the death of billy and chloe’s daughter.

Adam: It, um — it was a devastating, horrible accident. And I handled it terribly.

Sally: How are you and chloe even able to be in the same building?

Adam: Well, she’ll never fully trust me, but eventually, she was able to let go of her hatred.

Sally: But billy’s another story.

Adam: He can’T. Even when he acts like he’s alright around me, deep down, he’s still filled with pain and anger. And he always will be.

Sally: Well, I’m sorry — for everyone involved.

Adam: Anyway, maybe I’ll tell you more about it sometime. But that’s a story for another day. Tonight, we are here to have some fun.

Sally: Well, it is a good thing that I excel at having fun.

Victor: You know, I have a feeling that victoria never intended to show up anyway, whether or not ashland felt poorly.

Nikki: You mean because victoria’s upset with you for investigating her fiancé’s past?

Victor: No, because victoria and adam have this contentious relationship. Still do. Tonight would have been an occasion for them to, you know, settle their differences and put down their swords.

Nikki: I understand that you will never stop wanting that, but I’m not altogether sure that adam is interested in making up or that victoria wants to play nice at all, and I can’t blame her, really.

Victor: Yeah, but, sweetheart, you can’t blame em for hoping and trying, okay?

Nikki: Well, at least you can breathe easy that they’re not gonna create any conflict tonight.

Victor: I just have the strange feeling there will be some fireworks tonight. Billy boy abbott would love nothing more than to blow this launch right out of the water. Not touching is still touching protection.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Amanda: Oh, my gosh.

Devon: I have no idea how babies sleep like this, swaddled up so tight, but he loves it. He just —

Amanda: He really is the most beautiful baby.

Devon: I know. I know.

Amanda: But I’m sure that you have a lot of emotions swirling through you right now. Everything that you’ve gone through with mariah and abby and the baby, it must be really overwhelming.

Devon: You know, I’m just happy for abby and chance, and I’m happy that everything turned out the way it was supposed to.

Amanda: Yeah, but it’s okay to admit that it’s a little more complicated than that.

Devon: I mean… we need to get to this party if we’re gonna go.

Amanda: Hey, devon, the party can wait. I admire you trying to make the best of this, but I can tell that something is weighing on you. Will you talk to me about it?

Jack: Well, looks like a very successful launch, victor. Congratulations.

Victor: Thank you, jack.

Jack: And of course, we have something more important to raise a glass to — I am a great-uncle and you are a grandfather again.

Victor: You bet. The birth of abby’s baby is worth celebrating, isn’t it?

Jack: And thank god they found mariah in time.

Nikki: Mm.

Victor: What an ordeal that was. Having said that, I must say, i wish they’d find stitch rayburn and bring him to justice, you know? But I will not let that shadow spoil our party.

Jack: Well, I can’t wait to see newman media’s presentation. I’m sure you and adam have something up your sleeve to wow the media world.

Victor: Oh, you know we do, right? If you’ll excuse me, I have to see something in the ballroom.

Nikki: Alright, darling.

Jack: Well, victor is brimming with his usual confidence.

Nikki: Oh, he’s very proud of his accomplishments. I’m sure it will go very well. That is, if billy doesn’t have anything up his sleeve.

Jack: As far as I know, there is nothing to worry about.

Nikki: As far as you know?

Jack: Here’s hoping it’s a perfectly uneventful event.

Adam: Chloe said she can’t make it. Miles came down with a light fever, and she can’t leave him.

Sally: Aww, well, I hope he feels better.

[ Sighs ] Okay, well, it’s a shame that chloe’s gonna miss this incredible party, but I will schmooze enough for the both of us, on behalf of the company. And maybe try some appetizers. Do you want anything?

Adam: You know, I’m good right now. Thank you.

Sally: Okay, well, I’m gonna try them all, and then I’ll report back which ones are the best.

Adam: Looking forward to it.

Sally: I’m really liking this job so far.

Billy: Well…

[ Clears throat ] Thanks for the invite.

Adam: Yeah.

Billy: It was a benevolent gesture.

Adam: Well, what can I say, billy, I’m a very generous guy.

Billy: Are you?

Adam: Why else would I invite you?

Billy: I’m not actually sure yet, but I am interested to find out what you got up your sleeve.

Adam: Well, you’re gonna have to wait, like everyone else.

Billy: Well, that’s good. I’m a patient man.

Adam: Hmm. I know that you would love to undermine the launch and steal my thunder somehow, but that’s not gonna happen. So I have a headline for you — “newman media launch sets records and leaves chanccomm in the dust.”

Billy: I hope someone else is writing your headlines because i would throw that one in the wood chipper.

Adam: [ Laughs ]

Billy: Look, just so you know, we’re not gonna let our guard down.

Adam: I mean, we called a truce, right? So this is just straight-up fair competition. May the best man win.

Billy: Yeah, adam, look, if i actually believed that you were gonna honor that truce, that would be one thing, but I know for a fact that your dad is gonna come after us with some sort of underhanded attack because that’s really the only way newman media — a start-up like newman media — could do any damage to chanccomm.

Adam: A start-up? Hmm, I mean, you must’ve forgotten that newman media did start as cyaxares and it has all its history and strength intact.

Billy: Yeah, cyaxares was built by ashland locke, who, i have to admit, is a legend, and unfortunately, you’re never gonna be able to live up to that standard. Which is not good for newman media, unless, of course, you have papa bear run the show from behind the scenes. Then, you know, maybe there’s a chance, but we know how that goes. Damned if you do, damned if you don’T.

Adam: I think that’s called projecting your own insecurities.

Billy: Hmm.

Adam: And if we did make a run for chanccomm, you would never see it coming. But help yourself to some champagne, alright?

Lily: I could see the gauntlet being thrown from over there. What’s the score now?

Billy: I would say it’s a tie game.

 

Adam: Jack. Hey, I, uh — I just wanted to thank you for the gracious congratulations earlier.

Jack: My congratulations were sincere. I’m genuinely impressed with everything you’ve accomplished, not just with this venture, but with your personal turnaround. I can’t help but question your choice of a date for the evening.

Adam: You’re not the only one that’s wondering about that.

Billy: I still can’t get a read on adam. I don’t know if he’s playing it straight or if he’s still planning to come after chanccomm.

Lily: Well, maybe his plan is to keep you guessing.

Billy: Hmm. He’s accomplished that.

Lily: Look, just hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

Billy: Yeah. Whatever adam has planned, that’s a whole other thing. Victor is not gonna give up an opportunity to put me in my place.

Lily: Look, I think it’s a good thing that maybe father and son aren’t on the same page. Cause some friction at newman media, give us an edge.

Billy: Look at you, always looking for the strategy, right? Yeah, I would love to know the details. I would love to know what they’re coming to market with.

Lily: Well, we can wait for the speeches to know what they’re gonna come to market with, so…

Billy: Yeah, that’s not as much fun, is it?

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: You know what? I’m gonna snoop around a little bit. Find out what shiny new toy they have coming. Maybe even scoop the story before they’re able to launch.

Lily: Okay, I wouldn’t mind having the edge, too, but what do you plan on doing exactly?

Billy: You leave that to me.

Phyllis: I don’t like the look of that.

Nick: It looks like he’s just getting on an elevator.

Phyllis: He’s not just getting on an elevator, i promise you. He and adam looked like there was something venomous going on.

Nick: How was that different from every other day?

Phyllis: Yeah, I know, except I feel that billy is gonna do something to disrupt this party. It’s gonna make me really upset. Earlier, when I asked why he’s so eager to come to this party, he couldn’t give me a straight answer.

Nick: You know, it’s not often you and my dad are on the same page about anything, but he said the same thing to me and asked me to keep and eye on him, but I really, really don’t think billy’s here to cause trouble.

Phyllis: I’m not too sure. I don’t want adam and billy to get into it. I really don’T.

Nick: I’m not gonna let that happen.

Phyllis: You won’t?

Nick: Nope. I’m here to protect you and your hotel.

Phyllis: Really? You’re my hero. You’re my hero. Oh!

Nick: Yeah, it’s okay.

Phyllis: [ Laughs ] Alright, I’m gonna report to you later.

Nick: Yeah, you are. I’m just gonna go check on billy and just make sure he’s, you know, cool.

Phyllis: Okay.

[ Sighs ] Oh, well, you know, look at you. You’re like a monster from a horror film that shows up when you don’t want it.

Sally: You and nick seemed cozy.

Phyllis: Yeah, we are. Are you disappointed? Because I told you, our relationship was stronger than all of your weak attempts to undermine us.

Sally: What I find interesting is that you were with jack yet again when adam and I walked in. I mean, at some point, nick’s not gonna be able to ignore it either.

Phyllis: You know, you are a sad little girl. You don’t know anything about me or nick or our relationship. You aren’t capable of understanding. You left la. You couldn’t take it. You left there with your tail between your legs, sally. You alienated the only person who cared about you — jack. And then you could’ve learned so much from the genius that is lauren fenmore. She could’ve mentored you, but then you alienated her, didn’t you? I mean, what’s it gonna be now? It’s over for you. Over. Even though you tell yourself, “oh, this time it’s gonna work out,” it’s not. It’s not gonna work out. You’re gonna be alone and lonely and cold and sad. ‘Cause that’s who you are.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Devon: You know, it’s — it’s a weird thing because i know that I’m gonna play an integral part in the baby’s life because abby and chance, they made that clear before he left. And abby continues to reassure me of it. So I don’t really understand why I’m having the feelings I’m having.

Amanda: You have a biological connection to this child. That’s a powerful bond.

Devon: Yeah, it is. And I felt that bond from the first second that I helped bring him into the world. And it’s just knowing that other people are gonna be raising him, it’s harder than I thought it was gonna be.

Amanda: Devon, that is completely understandable.

Devon: And it’s also brought up a lot of memories of things that I’ve talked to you about before. Of hilary and I losing our child. And just, you know, what that baby represented. It represented so much love and possibility. It’s just — it’s one of the most difficult things to explain, that feeling of thinking you’re gonna be a father, and then it just gets taken away from you in an instant. I didn’t mean to be insensitive to you or what happened to your dad.

Amanda: No, no, no, no. It’s okay. This is about you.

Devon: It’S… the feeling that I’m having, it’s not like it’s a loss like when somebody dies, you know? It’s just, um… it’s a — it’s — like, it’s empty. Like an emptiness. And I think that I’m just trying to wrap my head around the fact that I have a son, but I don’t really have a son.

Phyllis: Hey. Oh. What a night.

Nate: Mm.

Phyllis: Where’s your girl?

Nate: Ah, she had to run to the hospital to check on a patient.

Phyllis: Oh, that’s a bummer.

Nate: Yeah, I know. I hope she makes it back soon. She was so disappointed. She was excited about getting dressed up for this event, you know? Beautiful, glamorous event.

Phyllis: Wow, you need to up your game in taking your girl on dates.

Nate: You know what? You’re right. We shouldn’t just settle for renting rooms here, like we have on several occasions.

Phyllis: Okay, well, you should double down. Just give me a call to set something up for you. I mean, like rose petals on the bed, maybe champagne, little chocolate, deejay in the room.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] Okay, I’ll keep that in mind.

Phyllis: Alright. So, what are you and elena into?

Nate: Excuse me?

Phyllis: What are you into? What are you into? What do you like? Like, nick and I, we like video games.

Nate: Oh, okay. Um…elena and I connected over being doctors, you know, working at the clinic together.

Phyllis: Okay, sterile. In a life-saving kind of way.

Nate: Okay, well, we work long hours. We don’t have much time for anything else.

Phyllis: Alright, so if i were to set up a black-tie event for you two, and I filled the room with medical textbooks, that’d kind of do it for you guys, right?

Nate: Okay, when you — when you put it that way, we do sound dull.

[ Laughs ]

Phyllis: Playing doctor’s kind of fun, I don’t know.

Nate: I suppose.

[ Both laugh ] Like you and nick playing hotelier and philanthropist.

Phyllis: Yeah, yeah, we’ve done that. It was a good time. Okay, I’m gonna set something up, and you’re gonna love it. Trust me.

Adam: I promise I was not trying to send any message by coming here with sally. Trust me, I have heard enough to know why she would not be on your top 10 list of favorite people, but there’s no hidden agenda. We’re not dating, we just struck up a casual friendship since we work together.

Jack: I’m not prying. I’m certainly not judging.

Adam: Well, you might be the only one.

Jack: Yeah, sally and I had our moment of connection, but that’s over, and I don’t hold any grudges against her. Who knows? Maybe your mission to be the best person you can be will rub off on her. I wasn’t able to bring out the potential I saw in her. Maybe you can.

Adam: Jack, I’m not planning to be anyone’s redemption story. Right now, I’m focused on work and trying to make newman media the one and only communication company in genoa city that — that matters.

Billy: Oh, no, no. Ah! Mm, I’m sorry. Yeah, I, uh — mr. Newman asked me to come and get something for him so he can prepare for his presentation, and I just realized I forgot my key. Do you mind letting me back in? This is their green room, right?

I’m sorry, but I’m not allowed to let anyone in without mr. Newman’s permission.

Billy: Yeah, right. Hotel policy.

My boss is a stickler when it comes to those kinds of things.

Billy: Phyllis, yeah, she is, isn’t she? Yeah, phyllis and I go way back. I promise you, she wouldn’t mind at all.

Uh…

Billy: Look, I don’t know how else to say this, but time is of the essence. The newmans really want to make sure that this launch goes off without a hitch, and the longer I’m up here not getting mr. Newman what he needs, you know what I mean? So if you want to go down there and interrupt a very important conversation to ask if this is okay, you go right ahead, but I’m gonna wait here, if you know what I mean. Come on.

Don’t tell ms. Summers.

Billy: Absolutely not. Thank you. Appreciate it. Okay. Let’s see what you got.

Nick: What are you doing, billy? Do lotion and jeans go together?

Amanda: I can only imagine what you’re feeling right now.

Devon: Well, listen, I also don’t want it to sound like i regret stepping up for abby and chance, because I don’T. You know, I knew what I was getting myself into, and I was happy to do it. And we had an agreement. Even saying the words “my son” doesn’t feel right. Doesn’t feel right ’cause I know that dominic is abby and chance’s baby.

Amanda: Yes, he is. But you have a biological connection to him. And it’s okay to acknowledge, even if it’s just with me, that he is your son. I kind of think that that’s why you feel guilty. You know, you have an instinct to want to stay by dominic’s side, but you have to keep your distance and…

Devon: Yeah, no, that’s — that’s exactly what it is. I appreciate you understanding me.

Amanda: You know, maybe you can concentrate on the things that you have given dominic. You know, first of all, the little guy wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you. And secondly, I mean, the way that you, abby, mariah, and chance have gone into this from the beginning, with such openness and inclusivity, that in itself, devon, that is a gift. Dominic will never grow up wondering who his family is or where they are. You know, when I was growing up, I didn’t have anyone around me that I could look at and say, “wow, we have the same eyes.”

Devon: Well, now you do.

Amanda: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, now I do. And that’s pretty incredible.

Devon: Listen, I know that I’m gonna be able to see him whenever I want. I’m gonna be able to watch that little boy grow up. I’m just having a hard time, um, defining the role that I’m gonna have in his life. ‘Cause, like, if I’m not — if I’m not like his dad, what am I? Just devon.

Amanda: You’ll figure it out along the way.

Devon: Yeah. No, you’re right. He just got here, after all.

Amanda: Mm-hmm.

Devon: You know, he has his whole life ahead of him. And I do know that, no matter what, I’m gonna be there for him.

Amanda: Yeah, you will be. And I’ll be here for you.

Billy: [ Clears throat ]

Nick: Ooh, I just can’t wait to hear the excuse you give for being up here.

Billy: It’s not what it looks like. It’s exactly what it looks like, nick, I’m spying on the competition. At least I was, until you showed up.

Nick: You’ve been a very busy boy. Digging around in ashland’s past, doing everything you can to undermine my father and adam’s new company.

Billy: Well, you shouldn’t be upset about the latter. You despise adam just as much as I do.

Nick: He saved my daughter’s life. I’m willing to give him a second chance.

Billy: That is unfortunate.

Nick: Plus, I have a vested interest in newman media being successful. They’re a major sponsor of new hope, and this night means a lot to my father. So I’m only gonna ask you one time nicely — stop whatever you’re planning and walk away.

Jack: Where’d my brother run off to?

Lily: Oh, I’m — I’m sure he hasn’t gone far, but sit, please. Tell me about milan and how’s summer and kyle.

Jack: [ Sighs ]

Sally: Well, excitement is buzzing through the ballroom. Anticipation is building. Victor must be pleased.

Nikki: He is, although i don’t know that I need your take on the evening.

Sally: Oh, I just —

Nikki: After our last conversation, I don’t understand why you think I would be interested in anything you have to say. So I’ll be clear now. Despite my long-standing differences with phyllis, I do wish she had been able to drive you out of town after what you did to summer. And I’ll tell you, no one in this room wants you here, with the exception of adam, who i suspect is using you as a prop. See, he is savvy enough to know that you’re nothing but trouble, and I highly doubt that he takes you seriously in any way. It was lovely talking to you.

Phyllis: Wow, nikki, she doesn’t mince words, does she?

Sally: Yeah, neither do I. Stick around, you’re gonna hear plenty.

Phyllis: I bet you regret coming, don’t you?

Sally: Not at all. Actually, I’m very pleased to be here representing the company that I work for. And I have a handsome date.

Phyllis: Who, adam? Oh, gosh, sally. Adam, he has an agenda. Seriously, he will tire of you and then he will kick you to the curb.

Sally: Is that what happened to you?

Phyllis: Hardly. And by the way, hey, let’s get this straight right now. You are not me.

Sally: Yeah, thank god for that.

Phyllis: I am a respected businesswoman in this town, and you are the town pariah. That’s what you are. You have no self-awareness. What is it gonna take for you to realize that you are not welcome here?

Sally: A lot more than a few insults from you.

Phyllis: Yeah, but, see, it’s not just me. It’s nikki. It’s jack, kyle. Listen, the newmans and the abbotts don’t want you here. Go home! Leave! Take your circus act somewhere else.

Sally: Go to hell, bitch.

Phyllis: [ Gasps ]

Sally: [ Screams ]

[ Gasps ]

Adam: Hey, hey, hey, don’t do this, don’t do this, okay?

Sally: Phyllis started it.

Phyllis: And I will end it, I swear. Get out of here!

Adam: Sally, come with me, alright? Don’t let her bait you.

Jack: Not a good idea.

Phyllis: I know.

Jack: Don’t do it.

Phyllis: I’m not going to. I’m done.

[ Indistinct conversation ]

Phyllis: Oh, god.

Jack: Here.

Nick: Look, I don’t know what went on down here, but there’s no more james bond stuff, right?

Billy: We’ll see. What is going on? Why does sally look like she jumped in the pool with her clothes on?

Lily: Oh, it wasn’t a pool, it was an ice bucket.

Billy: And the perpetrator?

Lily: Oh, who do you think? Of course. Oh, my god.

Billy: Phyllis?

Lily: Yes.

Billy: At a party that she threw? And she’s the one telling me not to ruin the night.

Lily: Oh, speaking of which, how did your hunting expedition go?

Billy: It was okay. I had to stop it. I was this close to finding the ammunition that I needed, and nick ran in with his superhero tights on and stopped me, so that’s it.

Lily: Or so you led him to believe? Is that really the end of it?

Phyllis: Oh! I let sally get to me. I shouldn’t have done that.

Jack: Well, she has a talent for that.

Phyllis: You know, I’ve had a drink thrown in my face before. You’d think I could handle it, right?

Jack: Oh, I think you handled it.

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ]

Nick: Seems like a lot of excitement. What’d I miss?

Sally: Thank you.

Adam: Let me get you a towel.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

Adam: Here. You okay?

Sally: No, I’m not okay. I was having a really nice night until I was attacked by that low-class, spiteful, tacky, hypocritical bully. She kept coming at me. What was I supposed to do?

Adam: Seemed like a proportional response to me. You know, that is really gonna be a tough act to follow when i got to make to make the announcement. Maybe I should do my speech naked.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] Well, that would certainly get my attention. I’m really sorry for ruining your event.

Adam: Look, nothing is ruined. Alright, if anything, the party needed to be livened up a little bit. And I like your fire.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

okay, n’neka, I just got confirmation that the party is on their way. I can’t believe three guys booked the place for the whole night. Well, believe it, and let’s just make sure that the drinks are filled and everyone’s having a good time. Absolutely, boss. Alright. Hey, curtis. Hey. I have some news on drew’s plane crash. Okay. You know what? Let’s talk about this somewhere else. No, w-wait. We don’t have to go anywhere. It’s not gonna take long.

I don’t, but you might want to. Hey, hey, hey. Hey. I didn’t think you were working tonight. I’m not. I am on my way to carly’s bachelorette party. Oh. Bobbie asked me to help her set it up. I got a surprise [Laughs] That’s gonna blow carly’s mind.

[ Laughs ] So, you seeing sam tonight?

[ Chuckles ] Sure, boss. Don’t worry. I’ll do what you pay me for. Don’t I always? Sasha: Willow. Hi. Hi. I’m so glad to see you. I wasn’t sure you were gonna be here between nursing school and wiley and everything else you’ve got going on. When olivia invited me, I decided to treat myself to a break. Good for you. And I don’t know if anyone told you, but there is definitely good news. Chase can walk again. That’s fantastic. It is. I am so happy for him. Is something else going on? Chase learned that michael and I are together before we could tell him ourselves.

[ Sighs ] I’m so sorry. Me too. I put off telling him, and in the end, I only hurt chase worse. Hey, it was an impossible situation. You did the best you could. And if chase doesn’t realize that now, I am sure that he will eventually. In the meantime, please tell me that you and michael are happy. We are. Very happy.

[ Chuckles ] What about you and the baby? The baby is fine. And the mommy? I would feel better if I knew for certain that brando isn’t working for the mob again. Bobbie: Hey, willow. Hi. Okay, so, olivia just texted, and my mom’s on her way. So, everybody, get ready. Great. All: Surprise!

[ Laughter ] Okay, look, let’s go. Okay? Wait, wait, wait a minute. What’s this about? Why am I suddenly not welcome here? I’ll explain it all to you later, but right now, I got to get you out of here. I know he doesn’t want a bachelor party, but for once, he’s not getting his way, okay? A proper send-off is in order, and a proper send-off he shall have. Michael: That’s what my dad would have wanted for him. You are 100% correct.

[ Chuckles ] Greetings and felicitations, fair samantha. If you don’t mind me asking, what are you doing here? Why? Am I not supposed to be here? And this is why I wanted you out of here. Hey, look, just one drink, a couple of toasts, and then we’re gone. Right, spinelli? Maybe two drinks.

[ Sighs ] Okay, yes. One is perfectly acceptable. Just the point is to celebrate the impending nuptials. This is lovely, mike. Like a sidewalk café. We could be in paris instead of nixon falls. Yeah, that was my idea. My official date — my first one with nina. Well, how’d it go? Well, it was great. You know, it was great until we ran into a roadblock. And I don’t really think there’s any way around it. What could you possibly have to say to me about nina? Well, it’s about my visit to her in nixon falls. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I heard the highlights. You — you played the hero, stopped two robbers, got shot in the process. Well, I stopped one of the robbers, and her new boyfriend stopped the other. Yeah. The mysterious new boyfriend. The man who replaced you in nina’s heart. What do you know about him?


, as I said, libationsare most certainly in order. Shall we continue on to the bar? Hey. May I speak to the man of the hour, please? Uh… can you just order me a beer, spinelli? Yeah, coming right up. Come on. So, tomorrow’s the big day. Yeah, it is. Well, I’m sure the wedding will be everything you and carly want. Well, you know, maxie, she’s working hard on it. I’m sure she is. Well, I, um — I wish you and carly the best. Thank you. I wish the same for you. Sam? Yeah. You okay? Yeah. Yeah, I’m gonna be fine. I’ve had a lot of time to process the fact that jason and carly are getting married. She was always really important to him. So was sonny. And, you know, most of the time, he chose her first. Now he doesn’t have to choose anymore. Spinelli: Apologies. It didn’t occur to me that fair samantha might be here. Spinelli, it’s fine. Still, it was pretty awkward. And I mean, you didn’t even want a bachelor party in the first place. You know what? Actually, uh… I was wrong. You know, carly and i are getting married tomorrow, and that deserves to be celebrated. Oh, my god. How did I not know you were planning this? You guys, we surprised carly corinthos. Give yourselves a pat on the back. Okay, olivia told me that the pool was reserved for a sweet 16 birthday party. Well, we didn’t want you to know what we were up to, and we needed an excuse to show you how much we love you. Aww. And how happy we are that you’re marrying jason. Yes. Okay. So, there’s no imaginary sweet 16 party that I have to take care of… no. …Or solve problems or something? No! All you need to do is relax and enjoy yourself. Well, with my favorite people here, how could I not? Mm-hmm.

[ Laughs ] Here you go. Okay. You guys, this is so lovely. And exciting. This is your last night before your wedding day. Yeah. I’m starting to feel like a real bride. [ Chuckles ] Why would you say that? Of course you’re a real bride.

[ Sighs ] Nina says she doesn’t want to get closer to me until I find out who I am, ’cause she says that when I find out who I am, I’m not gonna want to see her anymore. What do I do with that? Mike, your feelings for nina are real. Well, that has to count for something.

[ Door opens ] Hi, phyllis. How are you? Oh, wait. That — that’s a really dumb question. I’m sorry. Forget I said that. I’ll always be grieving for lenny, but I know he wouldn’t want my life to stop. He’d want me to live it to the fullest, to find joy where I can. And since he’s not here to ask you, I’ll ask you for him. Why can’t the two of you simply live in the moment? Please tell me everything you know about nina’s new boyfriend in nixon falls. Jealousy doesn’t become you, jax. Ohh. And I’m certainly not going to confide in the man who conspired to keep from nina the death of her daughter, a daughter she didn’t even know she had until after nelle was dead! You can’t imagine how sorry I am for my actions, but believe me or not, I am trying to help nina now. Just go, jax. We’re done here. Josslyn: Given your relationship with sonny,

you probably never tried his marinara,

but you have to believe me when I tell you

this tastes exactly like sonny’s sauce.

Okay.

Where’d you get it? Trina picked it up at some bar in nixon falls.

Really?

Well, what was

the name of the bar? You know what? You’re right. I’m being ridiculous.

No, no,

I didn’t say that.

No, it has to

be a coincidence. I mean, this can’t be

sonny’s sauce.

It’s crazy, right? No, ava, I’m not leaving here until you give me some answers. Ma, how many times I got to tell you, my personal life is — well, it’s just that — it’s personal. That’s hard for you to understand, I know. So you are seeing sam. Mm-hmm. That’s great. I think it’s great. Well, great. I’m glad you think it’s great. We’re meeting here to investigate something, if you got to know. Mm-hmm. Right. Mm-hmm. Ma, stop. Okay. Look, I’ll leave you to it. I got to go take ce of carly’s party, make sure everything’s right, especially the entertainment. It’s gonna be such a surprise.

[ Laughing ] Oh. Oh.

[ Laughs ] Dante. Yeah. How’s it going? Brando, hey. Yeah, it’s going good, man. No complaints. Alright. By the way, congratulations. You’re about to become a father, right? Yeah. Thank you, thank you. Yeah. You got any tips? Yeah. Don’t mess it up.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. I think you just do the best you can, man. Trust your instincts. I met rocco a few times when sonny was still with us. He seems like a great kid. Thanks. Yeah, he’s a great kid. He’s psyched to have a cousin on the way, that’s for sure. I just know sonny, he would have loved to be here to see you become a father. Dante, hi. Hey. Brando, what are you doing here? I got to take this, but, hey, congratulations, you guys. Thank you. I’m on a job. One of those side gigs you mentioned? One of them. Care to tell me which one?


I am working to make sureour baby has everything he or she needs, and then some, once it’s born. Just promise me that whatever you’re doing, it’s not mob-related. Trust me, okay? What are you doing here? I thought you were supposed to be at carly’s bachelorette party. I am. Just taking a break to powder my nose. Uh, carly’s party’s here? Yeah. Out by the pool. Call me later, okay? Mm-hmm. After your mysterious side gig. Dante. I have a problem. I found some information on drew’s plane crash that I think you’ll find interesting. Okay, well, information is only as good as the source. Okay, well, dante and i were able to get a hold of the wsb files on drew’s plane crash. And? And it was a charter flight, not a private rental. And there was another passenger on board. It’s just the name wasn’t listed. It was paid for by a company called lethe unlimited. Why does that name sound familiar? Because it was a parent company for a clinic in scarsdale called crichton-clark. Why does — I know that name from somewhere. It burned down before you got to port charles, but drew was held captive there, nina was a patient, along with a lot of other people. That’s it. Now I know where I know that name from. From when I was searching for nina’s daughter. Okay, well, do you think you know anybody that worked at crichton-clark? Actually, I just might. I’m so glad to be out socializing. It is a welcome break from heartache. Ellie is adamant that our parting be permanent. So please tell me that you are luckier than I am in the romance department. You know, I hate to break it to you, spinelli, but, yeah, I can say I’m luckier than you. Okay. Yeah, willow and i are together, and we couldn’t be happier. Well, I’ll drink to that.

[ Chuckles ] Talk to me, willow. Chase moved out. There’s obviously huge changes in your relationship with michael. Brook lynn implied that there was some — some big developments, but she wouldn’t go into any detail, so I thought I’d come to the source. What’s going on? It’s really complicated, and I definitely could have handled things better. But let’s talk in the next day or two, after carly’s party. You got it, kiddo. But just — just so I’m clear, you and michael are a couple? We are. Oh. You know what? I — chase is a great guy, and I’m really sorry that things didn’t work out there. But — but honestly, between you and me, I’ve always felt in my heart that you and michael belong together. We agree. It just took us a while to figure it out. Well, you look happy, so I’m happy for you.

[ Both chuckle ] I can’t wait to marry jason. It’s just been a whirlwind trying to get everything ready. Is that all it is? Well, mom’s just been really busy. I mean, yes, maxie’s planning the wedding, but there’s still a million details to sort out and decisions to make. She’s helping me get set up for pcu. Her and my dad, there’s tension there. You and jax are having issues? Really? You said we were supposed to have fun. Why did you bring that up? I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I should have kept my mouth shut. You know, mom and dad fight all the time, and they work it out. They always do. Mm-hmm. Look, I still care about nina. Knowing that I hurt her was bad enough. I just don’t want to see her get hurt again. What is it you want to know? Well, when was the last time you spoke with her? I don’t hear from her all that often. Just a text here and there about how happy she is. With her new boyfriend? She doesn’t really say very much. The last time nina and i had a heart-to-heart, she was pretty evasive about him. Phyllis: Right before his diagnosis, lenny decided to live in the moment. He was gonna take me dancing. I was on my way to buy a new dress when dr. Ford showed up, and our lives changed. You know what, phyllis, I’m gonna do everything I can to honor… …lenny’s memory. I know you will, mike. And I hope you’ll try to do that, too. So… where were you? I was trying to reach you, but — I’m sorry that I just — I ran out on you like that last night. We’re supposed to be living in the present. Yeah, well, you are, but I’m still struggling. When I saw your watch last night, a piece of your past, it made me stop… …and think, for once — think. Did you come to any conclusions? Do I have to find out who I am in order for you to move forward with me?


[ Laughs ] What can I say? I was motivated. Besides, what’s the point of renovating the whole pool if you’re not gonna use it? And honestly, I really wanted to wish you happy. Honey, no one deserves it more than you. That’s sweet.

[ Chuckles ] I’m not sweet. Neither are you. We tell it like it is. That’s the first thing I liked about you. Well, since we’re telling it like it is… mm-hmm. …I thought you’d think it was too soon after sonny. Oh. You know, maybe if it was anybody else, I would think that you were acting out of grief or you were afraid to be alone, and then I would have been wrestling with myself, “should I say something or keep my big mouth shut?” But — but jason, you’ve known him forever. You know what you’re getting. Also, you’re getting the quartermaines as in-laws, so, uh…

[ Laughs ] Oh, god. …Good luck with that. Hey, they’re your in-laws, too.

[ Laughs ] Yes. We’ll be allies. Always. Sasha, everything okay? I ran into brando in the restaurant. He is on a job. Wouldn’t tell me what it is. And you really think brando’s working for the mob again? Carly: What? He’s not. Brando made it very clear that he is done. But there was a part of brando that liked the excitement of working undercover for sonny. What if he is revisiting that part of his life, getting in deep again under the guise of wanting to support me and the baby? You’re kidding, right? No, I wish I were, man.

[ Laughs ] Got any advice?

[ Clears throat ] I’m sorry. Um… you got to bite the bullet. Do what you were hired to do. Make that money. Pay for that baby, man.

[ Sighs ] Can you just arrest me instead? Not unless you break the law.

[ Sighs ] Hey, n’neka, I got some business to take care of. You okay by yourself? It’s all good. Okay. Look, I know that you and my mom never expected to get to this place, but now that you’re here, I know that you’ll be good for each other. Perhaps it’s fate. Destiny. And if it is, how wonderful that it’s carly.

[ Footsteps approach ] Incoming. We found it. Here’s the groom. And a bachelor party that is crying out for some action. I told brando that if he wanted to be part of my life and the baby’s, he couldn’t work for you and jason anymore. He’s not. I heard you and brando at his garage the other night. He was promising to let your business associates know that he was open for business, and you thanked him for helping you. Brando offered to listen, that’s all. He’s not gonna put himself in danger. Well, what if the danger shows up anyway? What if brando just can’t say no? Brando is crazy about you and the baby. You have to trust him. I mean, how else will you have a family if you don’t? I just got a text. The entertainment is here! Oh, god. Hey, owen! Cut the lights!

[ Light switches click ]

[ Laughs ]

[ Chuckling ] Oh, no! -Oh, my god. -[ Laughs ] Oh!

Only thing on my mind

that’s what I’ve been waiting for


who might be able to give us a little bit morhe and drewwere such good friends. I’m sorry I’m late. I filled curtis in on the information we got on drew’s plane crash, and I figured he’d want to know since he and drew were such good friends. Anyway, I mentioned crichton-clark to him, and he said the name sounded familiar, and it turns out that he knew someone who worked there who might be able to give us a little bit more information on what went down at the clinic. That’s good. It’s great. Dante… you haven’t been listening to a word that I’ve said. I have, I have. I heard everything. No, no, you haven’T. I’m sorry. I’m just a little distracted by a story I heard. No kidding. About what? About what’s going on at the metro court pool right now at carly’s bachelorette party.

Nothing wrong with just a little fun

[ Cheering ]

And I know the deejay’s bobbie: Go get ’em, tiger!

[ Laughter, cheering ]

Hey, hey, yeah

Everyone’s on the floor olivia: Hey! And that’s how it’s done, ladies and gentlemen! There you have it!

I want some more

when the party is finally over -whoo-hoo-hoo! -[ Laughs ] Josslyn: Don’t get too close.

[ Laughter ] This is a private party, sir. I’m afraid you and your friends need to come back another night. Aw, come on. There’s plenty of room for us. We promise not to disturb the private party. I’ll take care of this. Just like you took care of me? Strong-arming my uncle into sending me out of the country? A round of top-shelf whiskey for the room. I want to toast the groom since I won’t be at his wedding tomorrow. I’ll be in…siberia. Hey, joey, aren’t you going to poland? To the lucky groom and his gorgeous bride, carly, who is as hot as they come. Okay, that’s enough. You agree with me, right? Carly corinthos is quite the babe. Stop this vulgarity at once!

[ Laughs ] We were just on our way out. We were? Mr. Novak and his friends hereare gonna drink on me.

[ Sighs ] Let’s go. Hey, morgan, how’s it feel to be hitting your dead boss’s wife? Feel good? Like you won a stuffed toy at the fair? You cretin!

[ Punch lands ]

[ Cheers and applause ] I honestly had no idea I was performing for carly. My boss only told me to show up at the metro court pool. Well, I’m the one that called the agency, ordered a stripper. I had no idea it was you who was gonna come and entertain us. How badly did you want to die when you saw all of us? I was hoping the ground would swallow me up.

[ Laughter ] Bobbie: But we’re glad it didn’t ’cause you were really good. I’ll second that. I’m sure you need a drink after your performance. We both do. Well, here you go. You deserve it. Hey. Hey. Are you okay? Sure. Why wouldn’t I be? Who knew brando was so gifted, huh? Well, you know, I’m not urging any scandalous behavior at a party where your daughter is present, but I thought you might just want to relax and cut loose a little, considering you are marrying your best friend. That’s true. I am. So what’s the problem, honey? Mike, you’ll never really… you’ll never really know how much I want you in my life. But it doesn’t seem right that you cannot remember who you were before. You have flashes of that other woman, and you know she means something to you. I don’t even know if that woman is real. But you won’t know until you learn who you really are. I’m mike. That’s who I am. I’m the guy who cares about you. I get that you, you know, 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, yeah. 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 in — I’m in love with you. Nina probably wants to keep the new part of her life separate from the old one. Does it really surprise you that she might want to make a fresh start with mike? Mike? Does he have a last name? Well, I’m sure he does, jax. I don’t know what it is. And you didn’t ask? Nina has made an art out of skillfully avoiding my questions about him. Now, here you are, interrogating me about a man neither of us has ever met. Do you want to tell me what this is really about?


ms. Caulfield, my name is curtis ashford. I’m not sure if you remember me. Of course I remember you, mr. Ashford. You’re the private investigator who tracked me down and put me back in touch with nina reeves. How can I help you? Um, well, I’m not a private investigator anymore, but I’m looking into something for a friend. It involves the facility where you worked when you were nina’s nurse. Oh, crichton-clark?

That’s the one. By any chance, are you still in touch with anyone who worked with you there? I wasn’t there that long. Besides, I was a private nurse, so I didn’t really know any of the other staff. Okay, well, maybe you can think on it and give me a call?

Wait. There is someone. He friended me on social media a while back. Olivia hires a random stripper from some agency that happens to be brando? That is priceless. Come on, the guy’s just making some extra money for his baby. No, no, I’m not laughing at him. I think he should be proud. I think there’s something really charming about a guy who’s willing to do whatever it takes to provide for his child. I mean, you would, wouldn’t you? Well, thankfully, I have a job where I get to keep my clothes on…

[ Groans ] …And provide for my kid just fine. That is too bad. Too bad? Mm-hmm.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Groans ]

[ Sighs ] Damn it. Mm-hmm. Work. I got to go to work. Mm-hmm. Hmm. I, uh… I hope to see you again soon, sam. You can count on it. I’m worried about nina. That’s all. And I know that you tried to steer her in the right direction when it came to dealing with carly, so… I did. I did try. But apparently, nina did not take my advice about making nice with carly. Apparently, she did the opposite. What do you mean? Well, something happened some time ago. I was mad, and I told carly that as a grandparent in the state of new york, nina has the right to sue for visitation with wiley. And then I guess, shortly after that, nina called carly, and carly was all fired up and went for the jugular. That’s what nina told you? Words to that effect. Everybody knows that nina was wrong to tell wiley about nelle. She knows it. She regrets what she did. But carly is carly. She rarely gives anybody a second chance. Believe me, I know. I guess I threw you a curveball. I’m sorry. Just — it’s the way I feel. You know, I-I really couldn’t go another minute without telling you. I don’t know what to say. You don’t have to say anything. Now you see why I was being mysterious about my new job? Yeah, I didn’t think you’d be a fan of my dancing. But no worries, it’s just one of my side gigs. Oh, what are the others? Centerfold modeling? Escort service? Ha ha ha. Try cleaning the deep fryer at kelly’s and after-hours custodial work at a bunch of offices downtown. Um, I’m sorry if I embarrassed you tonight. Bet the money’s good. Oh, it’s really good. But if you don’t like it, I will — I will quit right now, because what you and I have is a hell of a lot more worth it than this performance tonight. I hate myself for enjoying brando’s performance so much.

[ Chuckles ] You and me both.

[ Laughs ] Honey, honey, when I was your age, it was considered empowering for women to go to a strip joint. It was like women could enjoy a good striptease just as much as the men did, you know? I can only imagine the men back then — the hair. Oh, the fake tans, the screaming women. It was — well, it sounds like you did a lot of clubbing, olivia. Bite your tongue, honey. I was a very good catholic girl. Mm. The only thing that I knew about strip joints and what went on inside of them was — was what I read about.

[ Laughter ] Okay. You know, when I think back to you and jason when michael was just a baby, it was just the two of you. I used to get so worried and frustrated with you at times, I wanted to tear my hair out.

[ Both laugh ] Can’t say I blame you. Jason was always there for you. He always believed the best in you. And to be fair, no matter how much the rest of us doubted you, you justified that faith. And now, after all these years, you and jason are getting married.

[ Chuckles ] And tomorrow, you’re gonna step into your new life as husband and wife. Honey, that is the sweetest kind of love there is. Thank you, mom.


I am calling my boss right nowand telling him this was my last gig as a stripper. Don’t you dare. Compared to working for cyrus renault, this is the safest job in the world. Oh. So, um, you’re okay with women stuffing bills into my costume?

[ Chuckles ] They can stuff as many bills as they want, as long as you always come home to me. Who was your friend, and what did he do at the clinic? He worked in the records department. Would he be able to help you? He just might. Um, text me his contact information and tell him to expect my call. Of course. If your friend can help, ms. Caulfield, this could be a very big deal. Michael: Here. You did most of the heavy lifting — or, should I say, heavy punching. Party’s over. Let’s go. Come on. If that’s not enough to cover everything, just let me know. I’m sorry this happened on your watch.

I’m sorry. Once the fight started, I had to follow the rules. Uh, what rules? I got called about a disturbance. What the hell happened here? I was raising a toast to my pal jason, and this little dweeb went off on me. Oh, come on. You deliberately baited him. You denigrated the bride-to-be. I did nothing of the kind. I was complimenting her. Alright. Alright. Alright! Shut up! I’m just gonna take you all down to the station. Actually, we have a wedding to attend tomorrow. Oh, well, then maybe you’ll think more clearly in the morning. There was a time when all I wanted was to marry jason. I lied and schemed. Left a trail of wreckage. And now, years after I have more than let that fantasy go, it’s really happening. It’S…

[ Sighs ] Yeah. Well, you know, you and jason have something magical. And jason would do anything for you. And I don’t know why that is. I never have. I just know that jason has always been there for me. And even when he thinks I’m wrong, he’s there. Loving you as you deserve to be loved. I’m a lucky woman. You’re a lucky bride.

[ Both laugh ] You don’t have to pretend you have feelings for me if you don’t have them. I mean, maybe you will one day, maybe you won’t, but I… it just feels good for me to tell you how I feel. So I’m gonna leave you with that, okay? Okay. I guess nina and carly have been able to smooth things over since nina has been able to see wiley again. But I get the sense that it is a fragile peace, which is another argument for nina to stay in nixon falls. She’s much less likely to cross paths with carly there. Yeah, it certainly seems that way. Well, thanks, ava, for taking the time to talk to me. Appreciate it. So, what are you gonna do? Well, what can I do except to try to make sure that nina is happy and safe? Get the jet ready. We’re going to nixon falls, pennsylvania.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Telephones ringing in distance ] Epiphany. Hi. Can you give me some information about a patient that was brought in last night? A certain attorney? You are not scott baldwin’s family. Oh, no, no, I’m not, but I am a very important client. I can only give information to his family. Excuse me. May I help you? Actually, I’m hoping I can be of help to one of your patients. Anna: What’s the update on scott’s condition? Uh, still disoriented. Mm. But despite parachuting out of a plane unconscious, he has no broken bones or serious injuries. Jordan: Can we see him? Yeah, ’cause the sooner that we can talk to him, the faster we can unravel this story about him literally crashing into finn’s campsite. Well, at least we know scott’s safe and sound. That’s more than I can say about my mother. These aren’t mine. Where am I? Scott?

[ Grunts ]

[ Grunts ] My schnitzel. My liesl.

[ Sighs ] Hi. Uh… is it — is it true? Did you really, um… drop from the sky? I — I don’t know. Like a nightmare, I mean, but — I’m in a hospital bed, aren’t I? I guess so. Well, scott, I’m just — I’m — I’m so grateful you’re okay. You know, I-I hope you know that. Oh, ava, ava. I didn’t think you still cared about me. Oh, scott!

[ Chuckles ] Of course I do. Of course I care. It’s been six weeks, you know, since you filed for my divorce. And I need to know if it’s gone through.

[ Scoffs ] Oh, just put it on my account. Spencer cassadine. Uh, my manager told me you’re no longer on the account with us. Thanks, dad. Lunch is on me. I guess it’s true what my grandmother said — my independence is dependent on my father’s money. Then I think that it is high time that you and your dad put aside your differences. Not after he accused me of being ava’s stalker. Well, where would he get such an outrageous idea? He stabbed me. With a fake knife. I didn’t know it was fake when I saw it. How can I ever forgive him? I don’t know. Why don’t you ask your dad? Hello? Trina, it’s josslyn’s dad. Do you have a minute? Mr. Jacks, is joss okay? Oh, no, no, no. She’s fine. She, uh — in fact, she cooked me a lovely dinner last night.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, I know. I helped her get ready. I have to say, the marinara sauce was the highlight. Didn’t you love it? I told joss it would be epic. Yeah, I thought for sure that josslyn picked it up at a specialty gourmet store, but then she told me that you were given the jar when you drove up to nixon falls to pick me up. Pretty spectacular, right? Yeah, it was pretty memorable. In fact, I’m dying to meet the person who made it.


I’ve never met the person who made the sauce. Oh, that’s too bad. All I know is that the lady who runs the roadhouse in nixon falls — I forgot the name. The — the tan-o? Yes! That’s it. She said the bartender made it. She didn’t happen to mention his name, did she? No, why? Well, I guess josslyn hasn’t really told you m-much about my work. I’m a venture capitalist, and I’m always looking for new investments. And this sauce was so good, I’m thinking about pursuing it. Well, nina reeves was friends with the nice lady who owned the bar. I’m sure she’ll know the name of the bartender. You know, I think you’re right. If anyone knows, it’s nina. Jax: Nina? Nina? What the hell? Well, thank you, trina. You’ve been a great help. Jax. Clearly, you didn’t come to cheer me up.

[ Sighs ] What’s wrong? Was this your idea? Please don’t blame esme. I appreciate you reaching out and asking me to join you both. You know, I always bought the party line at school that spence wanted nothing to do with you, but now that I’ve seen the two of you in person, I can tell just how much you care about each other. Yes, some people just have a very strange way of showing it. You know, with fake knives. Come on, spence. I know you. You give as good as you get. I don’t blame you for wanting nothing to do with me, but, son, I need you to hear this. Everything that I’ve done, even staying away all of those years — uh-uh, you mean letting me think you died.

Everything that I’ve done, I have done out of love. Local law enforcement conducted a thorough search of the campsite area where scott parachuted down. There’s no indication that your mom, or anyone else for that matter, parachuted with him. A-and why are you so interested in my mother’s whereabouts? Last I checked, you two hated each other. Yeah, well, we’ve sort of come to a bit of a truce. However, her going missing just makes me think that maybe someone else is involved. Like peter, maybe.

[ Scoffs ] Okay. Then where is she?

[ Scoffs ] Where’s the plane? I mean, god knows my mother is resourceful, but she’s not houdini. She can’t just vanish into thin air. What is this place? What am I doing here? Oh! Clearly, the pilot needs assistance. No, come with me. Come sit back down and buckle up, for crying out loud! Okay, do you need help with this? No, liebchen. I need to survive this. I can’t die now. I have to help nina.

Mein gott, I have to find scott.

[ Grunts ] Open this door! You can’t do this to me! I’m liesl obrecht, damn it! Open the door!

[ Monitor beeping ] Look, scott — scotty, I’m not trying to be insensitive here, I’m not. I-I know you’ve had a stressful time of it. Although from what I hear, skydiving is really quite wonderful, right? It can be very exhilarating. That’s what they say. The bum’s rush out the door? I don’t think so. The point is, you survived, didn’t you? Meanwhile, my stalker is still out there, waiting to strike at me or — or my loved ones. Now, you told me that my divorce would take at least six weeks to go through. Now, isn’t there anybody you can call to nudge it along?

[ Sighs ] Well… ava, what are you doing here? Well, I was just, uh, visiting my very good friend a-and my attorney. Lives may depend on it. Anna: Yeah. Isn’t that right, scott? I’m not sure you badgering scott is really gonna be conducive to his recovery. Ava, let’s go. I’m counting on you, scott. Don’t you let me down. You just relax, okay? Epiphany: Uh, dr. Westbourne? Uh, whatever it is, epiphany, it can wait. I thought you would want to know that there’s someone else asking about mr. Baldwin. This is wyatt hoover. Pc pioneer second class. I’m a volunteer ranger’s aid. I was on duty last night when mr. Baldwin landed in the campground, or I guess I should say, he crashed. Yeah, “crashed” would be more accurate. What can I do for you, wyatt? I was cleaning up the debris from the fall when I found this. I thought it might belong to mr. Baldwin, and I wanted to return it. May I? It’s you. Yes. This locket belongs to my mother.


So tell me, what’s going on? Okay. I, uh… I made two pretty big decisions this year, and I thought I was 100% correct, and, um, but it turns out that they, um — they both — they kind of blew up in my face. Yeah, but that’s old news. This isn’t like you to rehash the past. You know me well. And you’re right. This isn’t about the past. This is, um… you see, I have another big decision to make, and I’m on the brink of doing something that I think is right, but what if I’m wrong again? It never gets old, you know. Hello, ava! And what never gets old? The love of art never gets old. Well, I hope not, considering I want a career in it. I was just thinking about the young high-school kid who showed up here wanting to be an intern. And you arrived with such a natural love of art, a desire to learn all you could. I still can’t believe my internship turned into a job. You’ve been such a mentor to me. Wait, that doesn’t even sound right. I hope you know that when I think about you, yes, you’re my boss and yes, you’re my mentor, but I also consider you to be my friend. Oh, trina. Did I say something wrong? No, I’M… I’m so honored to be your friend. And you’ve been something more than that to me. You’ve been like another daughter to me. And not that I want to step on your mother’s toes, or not that I would ever ask you to take kiki’s place… I don’t use this word often or lightly, but, trina, I… I cherish you. And that’s why I know it’s gonna be so difficult for me to say goodbye. You loved me so much that you wanted me to believe you were dead. When you were the only parent I had because my mom passed away before I even knew her. That’s the kind of self-serving garbage you expect me to believe? Spence, your dad’s here. Let him explain his point of view. Look, I know sometimes my methods are wrong. Okay, they’re often wrong. But you have to remember that valentin shot me with every intention of killing me. And knowing how the cassadine family operates, I couldn’t take that chance of you being targeted next. And so I laid low while I planned my return and my revenge. Spence, why’d you leave out so many details? I find this to all be fascinating stuff. Because valentin hasn’t been a threat in years. And quite frankly, he’s not even a real cassadine. Or are you insinuating that ava’s stalker isn’t the only threat out there? There has to be a knife. Or a bobby pin.

[ Grunts ] Anything to pick that lock. About time. I demand to know what’s going on. Good evening,

fraulein doktor. What’s this? Dinner, compliments of your host. Oh, how kind.

[ Sniffs ] And thoughtful. Open that door or I’ll gut you like a mackerel!

[ Grunts ] That is a very fine glass of

gewurztraminer. Your host has thought of everything.

[ Monitor beeping ] Scott, you have a visitor. Oh, a pc pioneer. I used to be one myself. I still buy christmas trees from you guys. Thank you, mr. Baldwin. On behalf of the pc pioneers, we’re grateful for your annual support. Yeah, I understand that — from dr. Finn, that y-you were there and — and you helped out when I-I-I hit the ground? I was able to get you out of the parachute. I have my honor badge in knots. Oh, well, that’s — that — that’s — that’s something. Thanks for coming in and checking on me. I did want to check on you, but I was also hoping to return something. I found it when I was cleaning up the crash site. Scott, this locket belongs to my mother. Do you recognize it? I do. When everything started to go haywire on the plane, she gave it to me and I stuck it in my pocket. Okay. [ Sighs ] I was hoping that maybe she made it out of the plane after all and dropped it during her own parachute jump. If I’d observed any other parachutes, I would have notified the authorities. There was only mr. Baldwin. Thanks, wyatt. Thank you for bringing this by. My mother will be very gratefulto have it back. Jordan: I confirmed that a private plane departed from port charles yesterday. It had two chartered guests — liesl obrecht and scott baldwin. Their destination was the island of st. Lucia in the caribbean. Right. I knew that obrecht was going on a medical conference there, but a private plane? Scott? I mean, I understand taking advantage of the low season rates at a resort, but why didn’t they fly commercial? It’s another question that needs answering. Though britt touched on the biggest mystery — what happened to the plane? What did the faa say? Just that the plane fell off the radar shortly after takeoff. There was no mayday call, no transponder signal, no evidence of a crash. I mean, the plane could be anywhere between here and st. Lucia. Or it could mean something else altogether.


mistake was helpingnina get visitation to wiley. What did you do?

[ Sighs ] Okay. I was on my way to the quartermaine gatehouse to talk to michael, ’cause, you know, he was my stepson and we have a pretty good relationship — well, we had a pretty good relationship — and I accidentally saw michael and — and willow, um, together. Together, together? Yes. Yes, together, together. Isn’t she married to chase? Yeah, which is a moot point now anyway, because she’s annulling the marriage to chase, but at the time, I-I used it as leverage to secure nina’s visitation to wiley. You blackmailed michael? No, I didn’t — I didn’t see it — like I said, I used it more as a leverage thing. I don’t — I re– honestly, I don’t know if we’ll ever get our friendship back. What’s your other mistake? Oh, yes. Yes. The other mistake. Um, when I found out that — that carly was taking over sonny’s family business, of course, josslyn was my first priority — her safety. That’s an understandable goal. What did you do? I secretly recorded carly in a conversation and tried to get her to incriminate herself.

[ Laughs ] I know. It’s just — go ahead, please. Let me have it. I’m not in any position to judge. I’m really not. Okay, so you told me your first mistake, your second mistake, and how they both blew up in your face, and now you’re gonna make another move that is also gonna blow up in your face. What’s going on? I — I don’t have all the details yet, and I’m still trying to connect all the dots, but if I’m right, a very good friend of mine who I care very deeply about is, um, probably making a huge mistake that could affect many other lives. You’re leaving port charles?! It breaks my heart. But I have no other choice. My mother taught me there is always more than one choice. Well, it’s my only good choice! Keeping avery safe is my number-one priority. I understand that, but didn’t you file for divorce? Isn’t that enough to satisfy whoever has been stalking you? No. It doesn’t seem to be, no. The only way I can protect avery is to stay away from nikolas, and that means leaving port charles, which means I have to sell charlie’s and give up everything that ties me here. Everything?! Well, except — except the gallery. I’m not selling the gallery. I-I’ve hired a manager and made it clear that you have a job here for as long as you want one. Ava, I don’t think you’re listening to me. It’s not about the job. It’s about our friendship. I need you. I have no reason to believe that another cassadine is plotting something, but given our family’s history, it is always wise to look both ways before crossing the street. He’s trying, spence. Can’t you give him that? What I see is someone who wants it both ways — the freedom to do whatever he likes in the moment, and then the ability to justify it afterwards. Nikolas cassadine, ladies and gentlemen. Am I the only one? Be honest, spencer. Haven’t you ever done this same thing? Believed that the ends justify the — no, I thought we were talking about you and your mistakes. We are. But I am not gonna lose my son. I have already lost ava. Oh, there it is.

[ Laughs ] See how it always comes back to ava? You want her so bad? You can have her. You just won’t have me. I got along without you for years. I’ll do it again. I better go after him. No, let me. Spence, wait. Do not defend him. I don’t have to. You’re making his case for him. There’s nothing that would make me feel better but seeing your mother. You really care about her, don’t you? It’s not just some random hookup. No, not at — not at all. You know, when we were together and we were grieving over franco, and then things changed, and we were up in that jet and we hit all that turbulence, and, you know, we thought it was curtains, but we were together, see? So, I mean, I-I think that we were ready for the worst if that was to happen. You know? But — but it didn’T. No. Somehow, you survived, and we have to believe that my mother did, too. Yeah. I really need her. She needs you, too. And even more incredible… I have realized that i need her, too. Hmm. Hey, scott. Do you think you could tell us the truth about what really happened on that plane? Why are you assuming scott’s keeping something from you? Certain things aren’t adding up. Yeah. Wait a minute here. Don’t blame me. Last thing I remember, I-I was putting on my oxygen mask and then when I-I came to, I had dropped into finn and elizabeth’s campsite, literally. But why spend all that money on a private plane? W-well, I-I was targeted by one of those, you know, low-budget jet companies. I think I was scammed. Yeah. Yeah. Too good to be true. Uh-huh. And why were you headed for st. Lucia? Well, that’s where the conference was. You think I don’t know who’s behind this? Who resorted to hijacking to keep me from giving him the justice he deserves?!

[ Grunts ]

[ Lock clicks ] Tell peter august I’m not going to swallow his food, which has obviously been poisoned. If he wants to kill me, he’s going to have to find the courage to do it with his own two hands.

[ Grunts ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Gasps ] No. It can’t be. Victor cassadine? Hello, liesl. As mark twain once said, reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.


, What are you gonna doand who are you gonna do it to? Like I said, I don’t have all the details yet, and I am not willing to name names. Not to worry. I’ve already heard enough to know why you’ve come here to talk to me. Really? Because I don’t even know yet. Because you’re gun-shy. For the last year, you followed your gut two times and it’s blown up in your face. So now you just want to hear your theory out loud. You want to voice the question — “should I cross the line again?” Hmm. Well, if my gut feeling is right, someone else has crossed the line, and I would be trying to pull them back. But if I take that step, you see, I will set things in motion, and it might not stop until…

[ Sighs ] Someone gets hurt? Are we talking physically or emotionally? Well, considering the people involved, I would say both. Okay, okay. So you’ve come to me for advice. Yes. Let me think for a second. No. Walk away. That’s it. What? A-and leave the person I-I care about all alone? How do you know they’re alone? Maybe they went to somebody else for help. Maybe they put their trust in somebody else. You know what? That — that is a distinct possibility. Damn right. I mean, let somebody else do the heavy lifting, right? From one fixer to another… yeah? …Butt out. You don’t have to save everybody. And from the looks of things, if you try, you’re gonna get yourself really burned. This is about spencer, isn’t it? Well, w-what — what’s going on? I thought the two of you were clicking. I thought so, too. That was until the night of the party, when esme showed up. Who’s esme? His girlfriend from boarding school. Oh, no. Oh, I’m so sorry. They’re a lot alike — worldly, sophisticated. Hey, well, so are you. You happen to work in an art gallery. That doesn’t matter. Spencer was a wreck the night of his party, then esme shows up, and all of a sudden, he pulls it together. Or maybe he was covering. What his dad did to him was so messed up. I know. I tried to warn nikolas about it. I just hope the two of them can mend fences after I’m gone. What about avery? Well, I told you, I’m doing this for avery, you know? I cannot let anything happen to her, and I’m frightened, especially now that the stalker threw kiki in my face. Trina… don’t give up on spencer. I thought he liked me. Oh, I’m sure he does. How could he not? And yeah, it’s really poor form for him to flirt with you and not tell you he has a girlfriend. Then how could he do this to me? Oh, but he’s a teenage boy. Teenage boys are not known for their maturity or discretion. But I think he needs a friend like you. I think he needs you more than he knows. I know this isn’t what you want to hear, but you’re guilty of the same double standard you resent in your father. Or are you declaring your freedom from him while still expecting him to pay for everything? The price of being nikolas cassadine’s son is too high. Oh, really? I wasn’t aware you were fielding other offers. Ava’s out of the house and maybe out of his life for good. Wasn’t that the goal? Look, my advice? Figure it out with your dad or get used to the guest room at your grandmother’s, knowing dr. Collins will be keeping his expert eyes on you. I see your point. Are those really my only options? No. Go get a job and rent a room somewhere. But then where do I fit in? Right. Because our original plan included me living on an estate on a private island. And not that I don’t care about you regardless, but let’s be honest — we’re both high-maintenance and wyndemere is our best option. This makes no sense. You’re supposed to be dead. You burned to a crisp in the fire at crichton-clark. Hmm. Not to mention,

you shot me. Hmm. I was thinking about my son. I still can’t believe you thought killing me and letting faison live was the lesser of the two evils. It was at the time. And how did that work out for you, liesl? I’m truly, truly sorry for your loss. The good, like nathan, always die young. While the rest of us survive, whatever it takes. I don’t care how you managed to escape death. I only care that scott is still breathing. What have you done with him? Mr. Baldwin, uh… took a leap of faith, so to speak.

Gott in himmel, you didn’T…?

[ Chuckles ] Oh, don’t worry. Yes, he was thrown from the plane, but also, yes, he was wearing a parachute. Do you really think I’d be so cruel to someone you care about? In a heartbeat. That is, if you actually had a heart. My heart is beating right now. For you. Can’t you hear it? Liesl was, uh, going to this conference for huntington’s disease and some other inherited diseases. I-I was just tagging along, you know — a little scuba diving, some island time. Who else was on the plane? Uh, well, there was two pilots and there was, uh… a flight attendant. Okay. And shortly after takeoff, you hit some turbulence? Yeah. You know, liesl thought something might be wrong with the pilot, so she started to head to the cockpit and I said, “no, no, no. No, we need to go back to our seats and buckle up.” Then the oxygen masks dropped down, and so we put them on and we started gulping up some — some oxygen. And next thing I remember, I’m on the ground. Now, we were about, psh, 3,000 miles away from the devil’s triangle. Could the plane have been hijacked? Mm-hmm. It’s possible. But by whom? Do you need help with this? No, liebchen. I need to survive this. I can’t die now. I have to help nina. Anna: Scott? What is it? Do you know who could have done this? I’ve got his blood test results. Thank you, epiphany. Britt, what is it?


so, what do you think? Well, I’m thinking that my last two interventions were a complete disaster, so third time’s the charm? I wouldn’t be incarcerated if I didn’t try to take the law into my own hands, but I was drunk, so I could blame it on the booze. If you do something and it blows up in your face, you’ll have no one to blame but yourself. You won’t be able to live with yourself. And if I do nothing, will I be able to live with myself? Look, in either scenario, a lot of people are gonna be affected. I know. Visiting time is over. Well, thanks for listening and your advice. I’ll see you later. Okay. Jax? I think you already made your decision before you came here. Good luck. Thanks. Thanks for the talk, but I should be getting back to work. Oh, no, no, no, no. No, I want you to take the rest of the day off. Go and — and find spencer and stake your claim. Stake my claim? He’s not my property. Well, he’s not what’s-her-name’s, either. She may have a history with spencer, but so do you. Trina: I’m sorry. I just don’t know what to believe about you anymore. I get it. I do. And I’m really sorry. And if you want to tell ava and cam and joss that I pretended to be some guy named victor, I’ll understand. But you don’t want me to, do you? You want me to trust you. Trina, what’s wrong? Nothing. Just promise me you won’t leave before saying goodbye. Never. Now, go and find spencer. Okay. Hmm. Look who I convinced to come back to the table. Although it pains me to say it, you were right, father. I’m the last person who should be throwing stones. In case you’re rusty on spencer-speak, that’s his way of saying he wants to put things back together. Not the way it was, though. Better. I want — I want that, too. I’m so very grateful, esme, that you were able to bring us back together. If spence is happy, I’m happy. I hope this marks a new day in the annals of cassadine history, when all of the family ghosts are left where they belong — in the past. What do you want from me? The same as I’ve always wanted — your companionship. Not you. You’ve always had an agenda within another agenda. Oh, isn’t it enough that I saw you getting close to another man? You’ve had me under surveillance? As you rise from the ashes again and again. But when you turned to mr. Baldwin, that attachment seemed distressingly real. It is real. And if you hurt one hair on his head — let him go, liesl. I managed to heal myself from the physical wounds you inflicted, but I — I don’t think I could bear the emotional scar of losing you to another man. Deal with it.

[ Chuckles ] Never. And the sooner you accept that, the — the better off you’ll be. What does my blood work say? The test results indicate that there were trace amounts of trichloromethane in your bloodstream. Could you say that in english? Chloroform. Oh. Scott, you said the last thing you remember was putting on your oxygen mask. Yeah. What about it? Well, what if you weren’t breathing oxygen? What if you were being drugged to pass out so they could strap a parachute to you without you knowing who was responsible? But who’s “they” and what do they want? Yeah. W-w-why do they want liesl? Listen, I-I know my mom has no shortage of enemies, but why go to all that trouble?

[ Cellphone chimes ] Hang on. Anna, what is it? It’s a message from the wsb. Wait. Did they find her? I-is she okay? We seem to be dealing with a master magician here, because not only has an airplane and a person disappeared by sleight of hand, but there’s something else. Who else is missing? No, it’s not who. It’s what.


what was the name of the convention that liesl was attending in st. Lucia? Some convention for inherited diseases. At the hotel san souci, correct? What’s the point of this?! How is this helping us find liesl? Well, the conference never happened. And the organization that was supposed to be hosting it doesn’t exist. What? Try to enjoy your accommodations. I think you’ll find I have anticipated your every need. A gilded cage is still a cage! I will find a way to escape to be with scott. Nikolas: What do you guys want? You want tiramisu? Anything. Spencer: Tiramisu, yeah. That sounds nice. That sounds good.

[ Laughter ] Oh, I was not expecting to see this. Well, it seems esme has a future in negotiating peace treaties. Thanks to her, spencer and I have taken the first steps toward reconciliation. I am reinstating my son’s account. He’s good for it. Yes, mr. Cassadine. Trina, you look upset. I just left the gallery. Ava said the stalker won. She’s leaving town. Hmm. That is sad. But, I mean, it’s understandable if she’s doing it to protect her daughter. I mean, she wouldn’t want the same thing to happen to avery that happened to lauren. Who’s lauren? You mean kiki? Jax? Jax: Hey. What brings you here? I need to talk to you about nina.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Telephones ringing in distance ] Epiphany. Hi. Can you give me some information about a patient that was brought in last night? A certain attorney? You are not scott baldwin’s family. Oh, no, no, I’m not, but I am a very important client. I can only give information to his family. Excuse me. May I help you? Actually, I’m hoping I can be of help to one of your patients. Anna: What’s the update on scott’s condition? Uh, still disoriented. Mm. But despite parachuting out of a plane unconscious, he has no broken bones or serious injuries. Jordan: Can we see him? Yeah, ’cause the sooner that we can talk to him, the faster we can unravel this story about him literally crashing into finn’s campsite. Well, at least we know scott’s safe and sound. That’s more than I can say about my mother. These aren’t mine. Where am I? Scott?

[ Grunts ]

[ Grunts ] My schnitzel. My liesl.

[ Sighs ] Hi. Uh… is it — is it true? Did you really, um… drop from the sky? I — I don’t know. Like a nightmare, I mean, but — I’m in a hospital bed, aren’t I? I guess so. Well, scott, I’m just — I’m — I’m so grateful you’re okay. You know, I-I hope you know that. Oh, ava, ava. I didn’t think you still cared about me. Oh, scott!

[ Chuckles ] Of course I do. Of course I care. It’s been six weeks, you know, since you filed for my divorce. And I need to know if it’s gone through.

[ Scoffs ] Oh, just put it on my account. Spencer cassadine. Uh, my manager told me you’re no longer on the account with us. Thanks, dad. Lunch is on me. I guess it’s true what my grandmother said — my independence is dependent on my father’s money. Then I think that it is high time that you and your dad put aside your differences. Not after he accused me of being ava’s stalker. Well, where would he get such an outrageous idea? He stabbed me. With a fake knife. I didn’t know it was fake when I saw it. How can I ever forgive him? I don’t know. Why don’t you ask your dad? Hello? Trina, it’s josslyn’s dad. Do you have a minute? Mr. Jacks, is joss okay? Oh, no, no, no. She’s fine. She, uh — in fact, she cooked me a lovely dinner last night.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, I know. I helped her get ready. I have to say, the marinara sauce was the highlight. Didn’t you love it? I told joss it would be epic. Yeah, I thought for sure that josslyn picked it up at a specialty gourmet store, but then she told me that you were given the jar when you drove up to nixon falls to pick me up. Pretty spectacular, right? Yeah, it was pretty memorable. In fact, I’m dying to meet the person who made it.


I’ve never met the person who made the sauce. Oh, that’s too bad. All I know is that the lady who runs the roadhouse in nixon falls — I forgot the name. The — the tan-o? Yes! That’s it. She said the bartender made it. She didn’t happen to mention his name, did she? No, why? Well, I guess josslyn hasn’t really told you m-much about my work. I’m a venture capitalist, and I’m always looking for new investments. And this sauce was so good, I’m thinking about pursuing it. Well, nina reeves was friends with the nice lady who owned the bar. I’m sure she’ll know the name of the bartender. You know, I think you’re right. If anyone knows, it’s nina. Jax: Nina? Nina? What the hell? Well, thank you, trina. You’ve been a great help. Jax. Clearly, you didn’t come to cheer me up.

[ Sighs ] What’s wrong? Was this your idea? Please don’t blame esme. I appreciate you reaching out and asking me to join you both. You know, I always bought the party line at school that spence wanted nothing to do with you, but now that I’ve seen the two of you in person, I can tell just how much you care about each other. Yes, some people just have a very strange way of showing it. You know, with fake knives. Come on, spence. I know you. You give as good as you get. I don’t blame you for wanting nothing to do with me, but, son, I need you to hear this. Everything that I’ve done, even staying away all of those years — uh-uh, you mean letting me think you died.

Everything that I’ve done, I have done out of love. Local law enforcement conducted a thorough search of the campsite area where scott parachuted down. There’s no indication that your mom, or anyone else for that matter, parachuted with him. A-and why are you so interested in my mother’s whereabouts? Last I checked, you two hated each other. Yeah, well, we’ve sort of come to a bit of a truce. However, her going missing just makes me think that maybe someone else is involved. Like peter, maybe.

[ Scoffs ] Okay. Then where is she?

[ Scoffs ] Where’s the plane? I mean, god knows my mother is resourceful, but she’s not houdini. She can’t just vanish into thin air. What is this place? What am I doing here? Oh! Clearly, the pilot needs assistance. No, come with me. Come sit back down and buckle up, for crying out loud! Okay, do you need help with this? No, liebchen. I need to survive this. I can’t die now. I have to help nina.

Mein gott, I have to find scott.

[ Grunts ] Open this door! You can’t do this to me! I’m liesl obrecht, damn it! Open the door!

[ Monitor beeping ] Look, scott — scotty, I’m not trying to be insensitive here, I’m not. I-I know you’ve had a stressful time of it. Although from what I hear, skydiving is really quite wonderful, right? It can be very exhilarating. That’s what they say. The bum’s rush out the door? I don’t think so. The point is, you survived, didn’t you? Meanwhile, my stalker is still out there, waiting to strike at me or — or my loved ones. Now, you told me that my divorce would take at least six weeks to go through. Now, isn’t there anybody you can call to nudge it along?

[ Sighs ] Well… ava, what are you doing here? Well, I was just, uh, visiting my very good friend a-and my attorney. Lives may depend on it. Anna: Yeah. Isn’t that right, scott? I’m not sure you badgering scott is really gonna be conducive to his recovery. Ava, let’s go. I’m counting on you, scott. Don’t you let me down. You just relax, okay? Epiphany: Uh, dr. Westbourne? Uh, whatever it is, epiphany, it can wait. I thought you would want to know that there’s someone else asking about mr. Baldwin. This is wyatt hoover. Pc pioneer second class. I’m a volunteer ranger’s aid. I was on duty last night when mr. Baldwin landed in the campground, or I guess I should say, he crashed. Yeah, “crashed” would be more accurate. What can I do for you, wyatt? I was cleaning up the debris from the fall when I found this. I thought it might belong to mr. Baldwin, and I wanted to return it. May I? It’s you. Yes. This locket belongs to my mother.


So tell me, what’s going on? Okay. I, uh… I made two pretty big decisions this year, and I thought I was 100% correct, and, um, but it turns out that they, um — they both — they kind of blew up in my face. Yeah, but that’s old news. This isn’t like you to rehash the past. You know me well. And you’re right. This isn’t about the past. This is, um… you see, I have another big decision to make, and I’m on the brink of doing something that I think is right, but what if I’m wrong again? It never gets old, you know. Hello, ava! And what never gets old? The love of art never gets old. Well, I hope not, considering I want a career in it. I was just thinking about the young high-school kid who showed up here wanting to be an intern. And you arrived with such a natural love of art, a desire to learn all you could. I still can’t believe my internship turned into a job. You’ve been such a mentor to me. Wait, that doesn’t even sound right. I hope you know that when I think about you, yes, you’re my boss and yes, you’re my mentor, but I also consider you to be my friend. Oh, trina. Did I say something wrong? No, I’M… I’m so honored to be your friend. And you’ve been something more than that to me. You’ve been like another daughter to me. And not that I want to step on your mother’s toes, or not that I would ever ask you to take kiki’s place… I don’t use this word often or lightly, but, trina, I… I cherish you. And that’s why I know it’s gonna be so difficult for me to say goodbye. You loved me so much that you wanted me to believe you were dead. When you were the only parent I had because my mom passed away before I even knew her. That’s the kind of self-serving garbage you expect me to believe? Spence, your dad’s here. Let him explain his point of view. Look, I know sometimes my methods are wrong. Okay, they’re often wrong. But you have to remember that valentin shot me with every intention of killing me. And knowing how the cassadine family operates, I couldn’t take that chance of you being targeted next. And so I laid low while I planned my return and my revenge. Spence, why’d you leave out so many details? I find this to all be fascinating stuff. Because valentin hasn’t been a threat in years. And quite frankly, he’s not even a real cassadine. Or are you insinuating that ava’s stalker isn’t the only threat out there? There has to be a knife. Or a bobby pin.

[ Grunts ] Anything to pick that lock. About time. I demand to know what’s going on. Good evening,

fraulein doktor. What’s this? Dinner, compliments of your host. Oh, how kind.

[ Sniffs ] And thoughtful. Open that door or I’ll gut you like a mackerel!

[ Grunts ] That is a very fine glass of

gewurztraminer. Your host has thought of everything.

[ Monitor beeping ] Scott, you have a visitor. Oh, a pc pioneer. I used to be one myself. I still buy christmas trees from you guys. Thank you, mr. Baldwin. On behalf of the pc pioneers, we’re grateful for your annual support. Yeah, I understand that — from dr. Finn, that y-you were there and — and you helped out when I-I-I hit the ground? I was able to get you out of the parachute. I have my honor badge in knots. Oh, well, that’s — that — that’s — that’s something. Thanks for coming in and checking on me. I did want to check on you, but I was also hoping to return something. I found it when I was cleaning up the crash site. Scott, this locket belongs to my mother. Do you recognize it? I do. When everything started to go haywire on the plane, she gave it to me and I stuck it in my pocket. Okay. [ Sighs ] I was hoping that maybe she made it out of the plane after all and dropped it during her own parachute jump. If I’d observed any other parachutes, I would have notified the authorities. There was only mr. Baldwin. Thanks, wyatt. Thank you for bringing this by. My mother will be very gratefulto have it back. Jordan: I confirmed that a private plane departed from port charles yesterday. It had two chartered guests — liesl obrecht and scott baldwin. Their destination was the island of st. Lucia in the caribbean. Right. I knew that obrecht was going on a medical conference there, but a private plane? Scott? I mean, I understand taking advantage of the low season rates at a resort, but why didn’t they fly commercial? It’s another question that needs answering. Though britt touched on the biggest mystery — what happened to the plane? What did the faa say? Just that the plane fell off the radar shortly after takeoff. There was no mayday call, no transponder signal, no evidence of a crash. I mean, the plane could be anywhere between here and st. Lucia. Or it could mean something else altogether.


mistake was helpingnina get visitation to wiley. What did you do?

[ Sighs ] Okay. I was on my way to the quartermaine gatehouse to talk to michael, ’cause, you know, he was my stepson and we have a pretty good relationship — well, we had a pretty good relationship — and I accidentally saw michael and — and willow, um, together. Together, together? Yes. Yes, together, together. Isn’t she married to chase? Yeah, which is a moot point now anyway, because she’s annulling the marriage to chase, but at the time, I-I used it as leverage to secure nina’s visitation to wiley. You blackmailed michael? No, I didn’t — I didn’t see it — like I said, I used it more as a leverage thing. I don’t — I re– honestly, I don’t know if we’ll ever get our friendship back. What’s your other mistake? Oh, yes. Yes. The other mistake. Um, when I found out that — that carly was taking over sonny’s family business, of course, josslyn was my first priority — her safety. That’s an understandable goal. What did you do? I secretly recorded carly in a conversation and tried to get her to incriminate herself.

[ Laughs ] I know. It’s just — go ahead, please. Let me have it. I’m not in any position to judge. I’m really not. Okay, so you told me your first mistake, your second mistake, and how they both blew up in your face, and now you’re gonna make another move that is also gonna blow up in your face. What’s going on? I — I don’t have all the details yet, and I’m still trying to connect all the dots, but if I’m right, a very good friend of mine who I care very deeply about is, um, probably making a huge mistake that could affect many other lives. You’re leaving port charles?! It breaks my heart. But I have no other choice. My mother taught me there is always more than one choice. Well, it’s my only good choice! Keeping avery safe is my number-one priority. I understand that, but didn’t you file for divorce? Isn’t that enough to satisfy whoever has been stalking you? No. It doesn’t seem to be, no. The only way I can protect avery is to stay away from nikolas, and that means leaving port charles, which means I have to sell charlie’s and give up everything that ties me here. Everything?! Well, except — except the gallery. I’m not selling the gallery. I-I’ve hired a manager and made it clear that you have a job here for as long as you want one. Ava, I don’t think you’re listening to me. It’s not about the job. It’s about our friendship. I need you. I have no reason to believe that another cassadine is plotting something, but given our family’s history, it is always wise to look both ways before crossing the street. He’s trying, spence. Can’t you give him that? What I see is someone who wants it both ways — the freedom to do whatever he likes in the moment, and then the ability to justify it afterwards. Nikolas cassadine, ladies and gentlemen. Am I the only one? Be honest, spencer. Haven’t you ever done this same thing? Believed that the ends justify the — no, I thought we were talking about you and your mistakes. We are. But I am not gonna lose my son. I have already lost ava. Oh, there it is.

[ Laughs ] See how it always comes back to ava? You want her so bad? You can have her. You just won’t have me. I got along without you for years. I’ll do it again. I better go after him. No, let me. Spence, wait. Do not defend him. I don’t have to. You’re making his case for him. There’s nothing that would make me feel better but seeing your mother. You really care about her, don’t you? It’s not just some random hookup. No, not at — not at all. You know, when we were together and we were grieving over franco, and then things changed, and we were up in that jet and we hit all that turbulence, and, you know, we thought it was curtains, but we were together, see? So, I mean, I-I think that we were ready for the worst if that was to happen. You know? But — but it didn’T. No. Somehow, you survived, and we have to believe that my mother did, too. Yeah. I really need her. She needs you, too. And even more incredible… I have realized that i need her, too. Hmm. Hey, scott. Do you think you could tell us the truth about what really happened on that plane? Why are you assuming scott’s keeping something from you? Certain things aren’t adding up. Yeah. Wait a minute here. Don’t blame me. Last thing I remember, I-I was putting on my oxygen mask and then when I-I came to, I had dropped into finn and elizabeth’s campsite, literally. But why spend all that money on a private plane? W-well, I-I was targeted by one of those, you know, low-budget jet companies. I think I was scammed. Yeah. Yeah. Too good to be true. Uh-huh. And why were you headed for st. Lucia? Well, that’s where the conference was. You think I don’t know who’s behind this? Who resorted to hijacking to keep me from giving him the justice he deserves?!

[ Grunts ]

[ Lock clicks ] Tell peter august I’m not going to swallow his food, which has obviously been poisoned. If he wants to kill me, he’s going to have to find the courage to do it with his own two hands.

[ Grunts ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Gasps ] No. It can’t be. Victor cassadine? Hello, liesl. As mark twain once said, reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.


, What are you gonna doand who are you gonna do it to? Like I said, I don’t have all the details yet, and I am not willing to name names. Not to worry. I’ve already heard enough to know why you’ve come here to talk to me. Really? Because I don’t even know yet. Because you’re gun-shy. For the last year, you followed your gut two times and it’s blown up in your face. So now you just want to hear your theory out loud. You want to voice the question — “should I cross the line again?” Hmm. Well, if my gut feeling is right, someone else has crossed the line, and I would be trying to pull them back. But if I take that step, you see, I will set things in motion, and it might not stop until…

[ Sighs ] Someone gets hurt? Are we talking physically or emotionally? Well, considering the people involved, I would say both. Okay, okay. So you’ve come to me for advice. Yes. Let me think for a second. No. Walk away. That’s it. What? A-and leave the person I-I care about all alone? How do you know they’re alone? Maybe they went to somebody else for help. Maybe they put their trust in somebody else. You know what? That — that is a distinct possibility. Damn right. I mean, let somebody else do the heavy lifting, right? From one fixer to another… yeah? …Butt out. You don’t have to save everybody. And from the looks of things, if you try, you’re gonna get yourself really burned. This is about spencer, isn’t it? Well, w-what — what’s going on? I thought the two of you were clicking. I thought so, too. That was until the night of the party, when esme showed up. Who’s esme? His girlfriend from boarding school. Oh, no. Oh, I’m so sorry. They’re a lot alike — worldly, sophisticated. Hey, well, so are you. You happen to work in an art gallery. That doesn’t matter. Spencer was a wreck the night of his party, then esme shows up, and all of a sudden, he pulls it together. Or maybe he was covering. What his dad did to him was so messed up. I know. I tried to warn nikolas about it. I just hope the two of them can mend fences after I’m gone. What about avery? Well, I told you, I’m doing this for avery, you know? I cannot let anything happen to her, and I’m frightened, especially now that the stalker threw kiki in my face. Trina… don’t give up on spencer. I thought he liked me. Oh, I’m sure he does. How could he not? And yeah, it’s really poor form for him to flirt with you and not tell you he has a girlfriend. Then how could he do this to me? Oh, but he’s a teenage boy. Teenage boys are not known for their maturity or discretion. But I think he needs a friend like you. I think he needs you more than he knows. I know this isn’t what you want to hear, but you’re guilty of the same double standard you resent in your father. Or are you declaring your freedom from him while still expecting him to pay for everything? The price of being nikolas cassadine’s son is too high. Oh, really? I wasn’t aware you were fielding other offers. Ava’s out of the house and maybe out of his life for good. Wasn’t that the goal? Look, my advice? Figure it out with your dad or get used to the guest room at your grandmother’s, knowing dr. Collins will be keeping his expert eyes on you. I see your point. Are those really my only options? No. Go get a job and rent a room somewhere. But then where do I fit in? Right. Because our original plan included me living on an estate on a private island. And not that I don’t care about you regardless, but let’s be honest — we’re both high-maintenance and wyndemere is our best option. This makes no sense. You’re supposed to be dead. You burned to a crisp in the fire at crichton-clark. Hmm. Not to mention,

you shot me. Hmm. I was thinking about my son. I still can’t believe you thought killing me and letting faison live was the lesser of the two evils. It was at the time. And how did that work out for you, liesl? I’m truly, truly sorry for your loss. The good, like nathan, always die young. While the rest of us survive, whatever it takes. I don’t care how you managed to escape death. I only care that scott is still breathing. What have you done with him? Mr. Baldwin, uh… took a leap of faith, so to speak.

Gott in himmel, you didn’T…?

[ Chuckles ] Oh, don’t worry. Yes, he was thrown from the plane, but also, yes, he was wearing a parachute. Do you really think I’d be so cruel to someone you care about? In a heartbeat. That is, if you actually had a heart. My heart is beating right now. For you. Can’t you hear it? Liesl was, uh, going to this conference for huntington’s disease and some other inherited diseases. I-I was just tagging along, you know — a little scuba diving, some island time. Who else was on the plane? Uh, well, there was two pilots and there was, uh… a flight attendant. Okay. And shortly after takeoff, you hit some turbulence? Yeah. You know, liesl thought something might be wrong with the pilot, so she started to head to the cockpit and I said, “no, no, no. No, we need to go back to our seats and buckle up.” Then the oxygen masks dropped down, and so we put them on and we started gulping up some — some oxygen. And next thing I remember, I’m on the ground. Now, we were about, psh, 3,000 miles away from the devil’s triangle. Could the plane have been hijacked? Mm-hmm. It’s possible. But by whom? Do you need help with this? No, liebchen. I need to survive this. I can’t die now. I have to help nina. Anna: Scott? What is it? Do you know who could have done this? I’ve got his blood test results. Thank you, epiphany. Britt, what is it?


so, what do you think? Well, I’m thinking that my last two interventions were a complete disaster, so third time’s the charm? I wouldn’t be incarcerated if I didn’t try to take the law into my own hands, but I was drunk, so I could blame it on the booze. If you do something and it blows up in your face, you’ll have no one to blame but yourself. You won’t be able to live with yourself. And if I do nothing, will I be able to live with myself? Look, in either scenario, a lot of people are gonna be affected. I know. Visiting time is over. Well, thanks for listening and your advice. I’ll see you later. Okay. Jax? I think you already made your decision before you came here. Good luck. Thanks. Thanks for the talk, but I should be getting back to work. Oh, no, no, no, no. No, I want you to take the rest of the day off. Go and — and find spencer and stake your claim. Stake my claim? He’s not my property. Well, he’s not what’s-her-name’s, either. She may have a history with spencer, but so do you. Trina: I’m sorry. I just don’t know what to believe about you anymore. I get it. I do. And I’m really sorry. And if you want to tell ava and cam and joss that I pretended to be some guy named victor, I’ll understand. But you don’t want me to, do you? You want me to trust you. Trina, what’s wrong? Nothing. Just promise me you won’t leave before saying goodbye. Never. Now, go and find spencer. Okay. Hmm. Look who I convinced to come back to the table. Although it pains me to say it, you were right, father. I’m the last person who should be throwing stones. In case you’re rusty on spencer-speak, that’s his way of saying he wants to put things back together. Not the way it was, though. Better. I want — I want that, too. I’m so very grateful, esme, that you were able to bring us back together. If spence is happy, I’m happy. I hope this marks a new day in the annals of cassadine history, when all of the family ghosts are left where they belong — in the past. What do you want from me? The same as I’ve always wanted — your companionship. Not you. You’ve always had an agenda within another agenda. Oh, isn’t it enough that I saw you getting close to another man? You’ve had me under surveillance? As you rise from the ashes again and again. But when you turned to mr. Baldwin, that attachment seemed distressingly real. It is real. And if you hurt one hair on his head — let him go, liesl. I managed to heal myself from the physical wounds you inflicted, but I — I don’t think I could bear the emotional scar of losing you to another man. Deal with it.

[ Chuckles ] Never. And the sooner you accept that, the — the better off you’ll be. What does my blood work say? The test results indicate that there were trace amounts of trichloromethane in your bloodstream. Could you say that in english? Chloroform. Oh. Scott, you said the last thing you remember was putting on your oxygen mask. Yeah. What about it? Well, what if you weren’t breathing oxygen? What if you were being drugged to pass out so they could strap a parachute to you without you knowing who was responsible? But who’s “they” and what do they want? Yeah. W-w-why do they want liesl? Listen, I-I know my mom has no shortage of enemies, but why go to all that trouble?

[ Cellphone chimes ] Hang on. Anna, what is it? It’s a message from the wsb. Wait. Did they find her? I-is she okay? We seem to be dealing with a master magician here, because not only has an airplane and a person disappeared by sleight of hand, but there’s something else. Who else is missing? No, it’s not who. It’s what.


what was the name of the convention that liesl was attending in st. Lucia? Some convention for inherited diseases. At the hotel san souci, correct? What’s the point of this?! How is this helping us find liesl? Well, the conference never happened. And the organization that was supposed to be hosting it doesn’t exist. What? Try to enjoy your accommodations. I think you’ll find I have anticipated your every need. A gilded cage is still a cage! I will find a way to escape to be with scott. Nikolas: What do you guys want? You want tiramisu? Anything. Spencer: Tiramisu, yeah. That sounds nice. That sounds good.

[ Laughter ] Oh, I was not expecting to see this. Well, it seems esme has a future in negotiating peace treaties. Thanks to her, spencer and I have taken the first steps toward reconciliation. I am reinstating my son’s account. He’s good for it. Yes, mr. Cassadine. Trina, you look upset. I just left the gallery. Ava said the stalker won. She’s leaving town. Hmm. That is sad. But, I mean, it’s understandable if she’s doing it to protect her daughter. I mean, she wouldn’t want the same thing to happen to avery that happened to lauren. Who’s lauren? You mean kiki? Jax? Jax: Hey. What brings you here? I need to talk to you about nina.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[Tranquil music]

 

Ben: This is the way to honeymoon.

Ciara: I don’t know what is better, camping out under the stars or waking up to watch the sunrise.

Ben: What sunrise?

Ciara: The one that we just saw.

Ben: Oh, I must’ve missed it. I was too busy looking at my beautiful wife.

Gwen: “Despite overwhelming evidence that xander cook teamed up with a crooked doctor to sell stolen opioids, he is a free man. Despite disposing of the doctor’s corpse, he’s off the hook. How does a notorious thug facing multiple felony charges just walk away? Simple. He pays ej dimera, a gangster with a law license, to pull some strings. As citizens of salem, we must fight this brazen abuse of power. We must put cook behind bars. Until then, we must make sure shame follows him wherever he goes.” Oh god, poor xander. Publicly crucified for something he didn’t even do. I know we promised not to see each other, but–

Jack: Hey, gwen. Everything okay?

Gwen: I just read the hatchet job that you did on xander. How could you? That is for keeping my secret. That is for spending the night in jail. And this– this– this is for the million dollars.

[Rapid knocking at door]

Xander: She’s back. All right.

Ej: You made the paper.

Xander: Hmm. And jack wrote this?

Ej: It’s a complete hatchet job. He slammed me as well, which I understand. But I thought he was your friend.

Xander: Not anymore.

Ej: Well, you know what they say. Never trust a journalist.

Xander: I’m sure you didn’t come by just to warn me about the press.

Ej: No, I didn’T. I came to collect my million dollars.

Steve: Ooh. You’re still not feeling any better, sweetness?

Kayla: [Groaning]

Steve: Now that must’ve been some bachelorette party.

Kayla: What was I thinking letting bonnie talk me into doing shots? I should’ve been smart like you and justin.

Steve: Well, yeah, had a couple beers and smoked cigars?

Kayla: Yeah, I would have rather done that than this. I mean, throwing vodka down my throat, ugh.

Steve: Last night you said you had a great time.

Kayla: Well, last night, I was feeling no pain. I don’t think I can say the same for bonnie though.

Steve: What do you mean?

Kayla: I just thought that she would be bubbling over with excitement. She wasn’T. There was definitely something bothering her.

Justin: Morning, beautiful. See, you didn’t have to worry about those silly superstitions that say it’s bad luck for a bride and groom to see each other on their wedding day. We spent the night together and we’re waking up together. And nothing bad has happened.

[Door opening]

Bonnie: [Gasps]

Calista: I have something for you, bonnie.

Justin: Calista, what are you doing? This is our wedding day.

Calista: Oh, there’s not gonna be a wedding unless you want to marry a murderer.

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

[Soft orchestration]

 

Gwen: I can’t believe that you’d write such horrible things about him. I thought–I thought he was your friend.

Jack: Our friendship didn’t end because of me. Xander is the one who ruined it.

Gwen: What? So you just slam him in the newspaper then, completely destroy his reputation.

Jack: His reputation? He’s a career criminal.

Gwen: Okay. Look, you’re my father and I know you have strong feelings about all of this. But, jack, you should’ve handled this privately.

Jack: It’s my job to expose corruption. Xander is as corrupt as they come. He teamed up with that sleaze snyder to push pills on the street. And when snyder dropped dead, he dumped his partner’s body so that no one would make the connection.

Gwen: Jack, please–

Jack: You could’ve ended up dead or in jail, but not xander. No, no, no. He hired ej dimera to use his influence and connections to make it all go away. You think I should just ignore that?

Gwen: No, I don’T. But I do think that you could have hired a reporter to tell the public the story, and then that way they would’ve all just moved on and forgotten about it. But no, you had to scream on the editorial page and now everyone thinks that xander is some sort of monster. He does not deserve this.

Jack: He risked your life. Why the hell are you defending him?

Ej: I had all the charges against you dismissed. You could sue jack for libel. But I’m not doing you any more legal favors until I get my money back. Hand it over.

Xander: I will. After I get my job back at basic black.

Ej: You’ll have your contract today. But there had better not be one penny of that money missing or I’ll have those charges reinstated so fast it will make your head spin.

Xander: The money will be there.

Ej: I’ll be back.

Justin: What are you talking about?

Calista: Your little fiancée here murdered my husband.

Justin: I don’t believe you.

Calista: Well, then it’s a good thing I brought proof. I have the murder weapon right here in my bag and it has bonnie’s grubby little fingerprints all over it.

Justin: What the hell is that?

Calista: That is what blondie here used to kill my hubby.

Justin: Is this true?

Calista: Oh, I think the look on her face answers that.

Justin: You’re a killer? Oh, my god. I’m not marrying you.

Bonnie: No, no, no. I can explain.

Justin: Don’t bother. The wedding is off!

Bonnie: [Shrieking] No!

Justin: Bonnie, what–what– what’s going on? What’s wrong?

Bonnie: Oh, god, justin, it was horrible. Someone showed up out of nowhere and ruined our wedding.

Justin: Oh, sweetheart, it was a bad dream. Okay. Hey, hey, hey. Sweetheart, it was a bad dream. Everything’s going to be fine.

Bonnie: Okay.

Justin: Okay, our wedding’s going to be perfect. Okay?

Calista: I have something for you, bonnie. Your mission:

[Tender music]

 

Ben: Can I show you something?

Ciara: Of course. The poetry book that shawn gave us. What a lovely little wedding gift.

Ben: Yeah, I was going through it. And I found this one shakespeare sonnet that just totally hit home for me.

Ciara: How so?

Ben: It just reminds me of where I was in my life before I met you and where I am now because of you.

Steve: There you go, baby.

Kayla: Thank you.

Steve: Take those.

Kayla: I am never drinking vodka again.

Steve: Well, how do you think bonnie’s feeling this morning? I’m sure she knocked back her share too, huh?

Kayla: I know. I tried to warn her that she wouldn’t want a hangover on her wedding day, but she wouldn’t listen. There was–there was definitely something bothering her. I mean, she was determined to get smashed.

Steve: You don’t think she’s getting cold feet, do you?

Kayla: No. I think she can’t wait to marry justin. Thank you. No, there’s something bothering her, but all she would say is it had to do with calista lockhart.

Steve: Did you say calista flockhart?

Kayla: Lockhart.

Steve: Who the hell is that?

Calista: I have a present for you.

Bonnie: I don’t need any presents.

Calista: But it’s the perfect thing for your wedding day. It’s old, borrowed and blue.

Bonnie: No, no, please. Please. Please.

Calista: Well, easy, sister. Just want to give you this. It belonged to my late husband, harrison lord. Well, are you going to take it or not?

Bonnie: I really don’t need any presents, like I said. And that belonged to your late husband. I think he should keep it. And I already have something blue.

Calista: If you say so.

Justin: Well, we have a big day ahead of us. So I’m going to start getting ready. I’ll meet you downstairs for breakfast.

Calista: Where’s my money?

Bonnie: I don’t have it.

Calista: Why the hell not? I told you where to get it. From that xander guy at the salem inn. He’s sitting on a million bucks, which is just exactly what you owe me.

Xander: Ej better come through with that contract or he’s not getting a damn dime.

Nicole: Ej. I read jack’s editorial. It didn’t paint you in a very flattering light.

Ej: Oh, I’m not worried about that in the least. It’s better to be feared than respected. Huh?

[Laughs] Anyway, I’m not here for idle chitchat. I’ve come here to discuss a personnel matter.

Nicole: Okay.

Ej: I would like you to give xander his job back.

Nicole: Sure, yeah. That’ll happen over my dead body. To be a thriver

Ej: I’m the co-ceo of this corporation, and I’m telling you to hire xander back.

Nicole: Did chad sign off on this?

Ej: Forget chad. You answer to me.

[Nicole scoffs] I’ve drawn up a contract. Same terms as before. Sign it.

Nicole: No.

Ej: Excuse me?

Nicole: I know you’ve been out of the game for a while, ej. But perhaps you should familiarize yourself with the terms of my contract.

Ej: Why would I bother doing that?

Nicole: Because it includes a provision states that as the executives in charge of basic black, I.E., Brady and I, have full autonomy over all personnel decisions. And I’m quite confident that I can speak for my partner when I say there is no way in hell we are hiring xander.

Jack: Why would you defend xander after what he did to you?

Gwen: Have you gone completely mad? You just convinced my father that you’re totally responsible for crimes that I’ve committed.

Xander: Jack wanted to know why you went along with snyder on the drug deal. I knew you couldn’t explain that to him without… admitting that snyder was blackmailing you. And then jack would’ve wanted to know what he had on you. If jack ever finds out you lied about abigail being responsible for your miscarriage–

Gwen: [Sighs] I know. He wouldn’t want any part of me. I don’t understand that, wh– why did you cover for me?

Xander: Well, it’S… better for me to lose a friend than for you to lose your father.

Gwen: I already explained this to you the other day, jack. I sympathize with xander because I know what it’s like to be in his situation, to be desperate and destitute.

Jack: Because he’s broke, it’s okay to drag you into his criminal enterprise? Put everyone under this roof in danger! How can you excuse that?

Gwen: I’m not. I’m just saying that I understand it.

Jack: Well, I don’T. I don’t understand anything.

Gwen: What do you want me from me, jack?

Jack: The truth about you and xander.

Kayla: Calista is bonnie’s sister-in-law.

Steve: Never heard of her.

Kayla: Well, I don’t think that they had seen each other for a long time. And then calista showed up out of the blue and bonnie got carried away and invited her to the wedding.

Steve: And her name’s calista lockhart. Ha. Who’s she married to, harrison ford?

Kayla: No, harrison lord.

Steve: You’re kidding me.

Kayla: No, I’m not.

[Both laughing]

Steve: Come on.

Kayla: I’m not.

Steve: So who’s their kid? Ally mcsolo?

Kayla: You know, I have no idea. But all I know is that I think bonnie said that he’s dead.

Steve: So what’s this calista person like?

Kayla: I don’t know. She wasn’t there last night.

Steve: Okay. She came all the way to salem for the wedding and she didn’t go to the bachelorette party?

Kayla: I think there’s some kind of bad blood between them.

Steve: Maybe that’s why bonnie was so nervous last night.

Kayla: I don’t know. I mean, I just felt like she was dying to say it. She just wanted to unburden herself somehow.

Steve: But she obviously didn’T.

Kayla: No. In fact, every time I thought she was going to say something, she would just clam up and order another drink.

Steve: Wonder what that was about.

Calista: I told you yesterday I saw some hunk named xander walking into that hotel where you put me up carrying a briefcase with a million dollars in it.

Bonnie: I know.

Calista: So why didn’t you steal it?

Bonnie: [Huffs] I just– I couldn’T. Oh, come on. Look at me, all right? Look–look how far I’ve come. I can’t risk going back to prison. I’m marrying the most wonderful man I’ve ever met.

Calista: Yeah, obviously, he doesn’t know the real person he’s marrying.

Bonnie: Oh, believe me. Justin has seen the worst of me. He knows all about my past. And you know what? He believes I’ve changed. He believes I’ve turned my life around, and I have. And now, we’re in love. For crying out loud, it’s my wedding day! I got a lot on my mind. Can I just pay you later?

Calista: No. You screwed me once, sister. I’m not going to let it happen again. Oh, look at that. Better get crackin’. There’s only a couple of hours to take care of business before the wedding.

Bonnie: And what have i don’t?

Calista: Well, then, I will just show justin this little old gun, and your love story will be over.

Ciara: “When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state. And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries. And look upon myself and curse my fate.”

Ben: Outcast and alone. That was me when I first met you.

Ciara: Would you read some?

Ben: “Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising, happily, I think on thee. And then my state, like to the lark at break of day arising from sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven’s gate. For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings. That then I scorn to change my state with kings.” That, ciara, is exactly how I feel about you. Because when we are together… I wouldn’t trade places with anybody in the world.

Ciara: Neither would I.

[Stirring music]

 

We gave new zzzquil pure zzzs restorative herbal sleep

Nicole: Why would you want to hire xander, anyway? He’s a nightmare to work with. And he smells like patchouli.

Ej: So we’ll get him some new cologne.

Nicole: [Huffs] Trust me, ej, if I go along with this, you will live to regret it.

Ej: I won’t regret getting my money back.

Nicole: What money?

Ej: Samantha paid xander a million dollars to blow up your marriage.

Nicole: Oh, I knew it! I knew it even when you wouldn’t admit it before.

Ej: The point is, there’s no way in hell I’m letting either of them get away with it.

Nicole: Great, fine. Perfect. Just leave me out of it.

Ej: Xander won’t give me back my money unless I get him back his job.

Nicole: Well, I won’t work with him.

Ej: Xander was paid a small fortune to do what he did, and you’re okay with that.

Nicole: No. No, of course not, but think about what you’re asking me to do. How would you feel if I told you to hire lucas?

Ej: It’s not the same thing.

Nicole: Yeah, yeah, it’s a similar idea…okay? I’m not going to work with that– that person who destroyed my marriage.

Ej: We all have to put up with colleagues we don’t like.

Nicole: But I don’t dislike xander. I hate him with every fiber of my being. He is a living, breathing repulsive reminder of the worst mistake I’ve made in my life. And, you know what, to have to work with him every day– no. No, thank you. I’m not doing it. And you know, ej, do you really need the money?

Ej: It’s the principle. I can’t let samantha win.

Nicole: Well, I can’t let xander win, so…

Ej: Hmm. Suit yourself. But if you don’t sign this contract…you’re fired.

Calista: Well, hey, don’t you look handsome?

Justin: Thank you.

Calista: I hope you don’t mind–I just helped myself. Bonnie told me to make myself at home.

Justin: Of course.

Calista: And what a fabulous home it is.

Justin: Calista, please don’t take this the wrong way, but I have to say… I’m a little surprised that you’re here when bonnie’s never even mentioned you before.

Calista: Hmm. Well, you know, bonnie and I have not been in contact since my husband died. But I wouldn’t miss her wedding for the world.

Justin: Where is bonnie anyway? I thought we were supposed to have breakfast together.

Calista: She just left. Said she had an important errand to run.

Bonnie: Hi! Morning, sunshine.

Xander: What are doing here?

Bonnie: Oh–ha ha. I came to invite you to our wedding.

Xander: What?

Bonnie: Yeah, justin and i are getting married, and, uh, we would love the honor, um, no, the pleas– whatever–ha ha ha! We both want you there.

Xander: You’re getting married today, and you came here yourself to invite me?

Bonnie: Mm-hmm.

Xander: That’s a little weird even for you, bonnie.

Bonnie: Oh, come on. Just say yes.

Xander: Not until I figure out what’s really going on. Tell me, bonnie, what am I missing?

Gwen: The truth is xander’s not the terrible person that you think he is. You’re the one who told me to give him a chance.

Jack: That’s before he turned you into his drug mule.

Gwen: Yes. But you can’t just write him off, jack. Look at me. Look at all the horrible things that I did to you and your family. You forgave me, didn’t you?

Jack: You are my daughter. And you have proved that you’ve changed. Xander’s the same selfish, deceitful liar he’s always been.

Gwen: That is not true.

Jack: I am baffled. Honestly, I am–how can you– how can you be sorry for an amoral, unethical deviant?

Gwen: Because I told you I know what it’s like to do something terrible because you just feel like you have no choice.

Jack: If he’d really been in that much trouble, he could’ve come to me.

Gwen: I am sure that if he felt like being honest with you was an option, he would have done that.

Jack: And he didn’T. And now he’s compounded his deceit by– by flouting the law and manipulating the justice system, and I can’t stand for that!

Gwen: You’ve already skewered him in the papers, jack. I mean, what more could you possibly do?

Jack: That story is just the beginning. There’s a lot more to the story. I know a whole hell of a lot more. Between what I write and what my staff uncovers, we might be able to get the charges against xander reinstated, and he can go to prison where he belongs.

Gwen: No. No, please. Please, don’t do that.

Jack: Why not?

Gwen: Because I don’t want you to–to–to cross paths with the dimeras. They’re ruthless.

Jack: Chad dimera is my son-in-law.

Gwen: I’m talking about ej.

Jack: I’m not afraid of him! The bottom line is xander is guilty as sin, and he needs to pay.

Gwen: No, you’re wrong, jack. He is not guilty. I am the one who’s guilty. Is now a good time for a flare-up?

Ben: Being together like this…it is even more amazing now because you’re my wife again.

Ciara: I was just thinking the exact same thing.

Ben: Yeah?

Ciara: Mm.

Ben: Well, then maybe we should just stay like this forever.

Ciara: Yeah, as tempting as that may be, I, um…I’m really excited to show you new orleans.

Ben: Yeah?

Ciara: Yeah.

Ben: When was the last time you were there?

Ciara: When I was a kid. But even then I realized how amazing of a place it was. I mean the music, the architecture, the food. Oh my god, the food!

Ben: Oh my god. Now, I want to get there. I want to get there now too. Should we start packing?

Ciara: You know, actually talking about the food made me kinda hungry. Do you mind if we make breakfast first?

Nicole: That is the second time you have threatened to fire me since you’ve been back.

Ej: Is it?

Nicole: Yeah. After I gave you unsolicited advice about johnny, you threatened to shut down this division.

Ej: My apologies. I was a little…riled up. But I’m calmer now.

Nicole: But you’re still going to fire me over this.

Ej: No, I don’t want to, nicole. You happen to be very good at what you do.

Nicole: Well, how can I be good at what I do if I work with someone who I hate?

Ej: Hatred can be a very powerful motivator. Just use it to make xander’s life a living hell. Brady and chloe will side with you. I bet you could drive him to quit by year’s end.

Nicole: Wanna bet me a million bucks?

Ej: [Laughs] Just shut up and sign the contract.

[Ej chuckles]

Kayla: Ugh. My head is still pounding.

Steve: Are you sure you’re going to be okay for the wedding? Maybe you should call in sick.

Kayla: I couldn’t do that to bonnie. Besides she’s coming over here in a little bit to get ready.

Steve: Oh, okay. Well, I better get over to the house and see if justin has any last-minute requests for his best dude.

Kayla: Okay. I’ll see you in a bit.

Steve: Yeah. Me and the famous calista.

Justin: Hey, maybe you ought to slow down a little.

Calista: Hmm. Yeah, you’re probably right. I guess I’m just trying to chase away blues.

Justin: Um…are you upset about something?

Calista: I don’t want to be a downer on your wedding day, but it is so hard to be happy for other people who are just starting their lives together when–

Justin: No, I understand. I don’t know if bonnie told you, but, uh, I lost my wife.

Calista: Oh, I’m so sorry.

Justin: Thanks. So tell me about your husband, harrison, was it?

Calista: Harrison lord. He was taken from me far too soon. Murdered for his money. The person who killed him stole every penny he had, leaving me not just a widow, but a pauper too. And the worst part is they got away with it.

Justin: I remember you mentioned that.

Calista: You’re a lawyer. Don’t you think that a criminal like that should be brought to justice?

Bonnie: I was 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 by 2:00 P.M.

Xander: Bonnie–

Bonnie: Nope. Not taking no for an answer.

Xander: Honestly, I’d feel quite awkward.

Bonnie: Oh, baloney. 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 see you soon.

Gwen: I’m the one who’s guilty.

Jack: We’ve been through this before, gwen–

Gwen: No, please, jack. Please. Let me just finish. Please.

[Exhales] Xander lied. He lied when that he said he was the one delivering drugs for snyder and that brought me into the operation. He just did that to cover for me.

Jack: But he told me that snyder was his business partner.

Gwen: Yes. It’s not true. It’s not true. Those two never worked together. It was snyder and me. I was the one delivering drugs for him, and I wanted to stop, but he wouldn’t let me. And so one day I was just completely fed up.

Jack: Meaning what?

Gwen: Meaning…

[Sighs] Meaning one day, he just turned up here with a package and I said to him that he needs to go find somebody else to do his dirty work. And then we just–we’re having this big, horrible row, and then xander walks in. And xander starts defending me. He stood up for me. He’s the one who was trying to get me out of this horrible mess that I’d gotten myself into.

[Exhales] And then…snyder just dropped dead…right in front of us.

[Sighs] And then that’s when things got really complicated. So I am not an innocent victim in this. I’m the one who got xander into this whole mess. I’m so sorry. You must think I’m a terrible person.

Jack: No, gwen. I’m confused. Why would you agree to run drugs for snyder in the first place? Are you tired of clean clothes that just don’t smell clean?

Jack: Okay. I get what’s going on here. You’re upset about my editorial, and you’re trying to get me to write a retraction.

Gwen: Would you?

Jack: Absolutely not! I don’t get this 180 that you’ve done on xander. And for the longest time, the two of you couldn’t stand each other. Oh, wait.

Gwen: Wait what–what?

Jack: Julie. Julie walked in on you and xander together on the couch. You told me it was a momentary lapse of judgment. Maybe it wasn’t so momentary.

Gwen: Yes, it was. It was. But I’m not talking about that right now. It’s beside the point. But yes, yes, judy is right. Xander did lie to you. He didn’t want you to know that I was running drugs because he didn’t want you to think less of me. He was trying to protect my relationship with you. He lied so that I wouldn’t have to tell the truth.

Jack: What is the truth… gwen? Why–why would you agree to run drugs for snyder?

Gwen: He forced me to.

Jack: How? How could he do that?

Gwen: He was blackmailing me.

Jack: With what? What was he holding over you?

Calista: We are talkin’ grand larceny and murder. Well, don’t you think the rich who commits those heinous crimes should pay?

Justin: I think anyone who’s proven guilty in a court of law should pay.

Calista: Well, they didn’T. And it makes my blood boil.

Justin: Mm-hmm. I can see that. But in time, the anger, the pain will be less acute, and you’ll find yourself less immersed in, uh, stewing about the past and more hopeful about the future.

Calista: Well, I’ll drink to that.

[Both chuckle]

Justin: Ah, that’s bonnie’s makeup bag.

Calista: Mm. She gonna need that! Ha ha.

Justin: Maybe you’d like to bring it to her. You can meet kayla, her matron of honor.

Calista: [Laughs] Well, you know, I am still a little tired from my trip. And I’ve had a couple of drinks. I don’t think I should drive.

Justin: Oh, actually, that’s a–that’s a good idea. All right. Well, I’ll just take care of it myself.

[Calista giggles]

[Beep beep]

Bonnie: Oh, thank the lord.

[Suspenseful music]

Oh–whoa.

[Knock on door]

Ej: Xander, open up. Xander.

Ben: The eggs could use some hot sauce.

Ciara: I got it.

Ben: Thank you.

Ciara: Um…I have been so preoccupied with everything, I completely forgot.

Ben: What?

Ciara: I am out of birth control pills.

Ben: Well, I’m sure there’s a pharmacy in between here and new orleans. We’ll just have your doctor call in a prescription.

Ciara: Or…not.

Ben: [Coughs] I order my groceries online now.

Ben: I’m not sure what that means. Ha.

Ciara: What if I didn’t refill my prescription?

Ben: Are you saying you want to use a different kind of birth control?

Ciara: No. What I’m saying is…maybe we shouldn’t worry about that. What I’m saying is… what if we have a baby?

Steve: Yo, justin.

Calista: Justin’s not here. Mm! Well, hi, looks like it’s just you and me, big boy.

Justin: Hey.

Kayla: Justin, everything okay?

Justin: Never better. I just came by to give bonnie her makeup bag.

Kayla: She’s not here.

[Knocking continues]

Ej: Xander, are you in there?

Xander: Hold your horses man, I’m coming.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

John: There you go.

Marlena: Thank you, darling.

John: Been a hectic couple days, huh? You marrying ben and ciara, our little claire bear heading off to south africa for new adventures. I tell you, doc, I am so looking forward to this labor day weekend so we can just relax.

Marlena: I am too. You know what I did? I cleared my entire schedule through tuesday.

John: Well, I hope you penciled me in for a little something.

Marlena: Mm.

John: [Chuckles]

Marlena: I penciled you in for all of it.

John: Mm, I like the way you think.

[Phone rings]

[Sighs]

[Phone rings] Shane donovan. Wonder what he wants.

[Phone beeps] Hey, shane. What’s up?

Jake: Good morning.

Gabi: Morning, yourself. Oh, no, no. No you don’t, mister. Up and at ’em. Come on. It’s your first day at work.

Jake: But did I adequately thank you for showing me the ropes yesterday? I mean, that had to be the best welcoming to a new job that I’ve ever had.

Gabi: All right, but don’t expect sex on philip’s desk every day because we have things to do.

Jake: Right, like world domination.

Gabi: Exactly, so come on, get to it.

Jake: [Groans]

Gabi: [Chuckles]

Jake: [Sighs]

Gabi: Jake.

Jake: What?

Gabi: This is perfect. You made the front page. “Ousted dimera brother moves to titan.” Photo and everything.

Jake: Whoa, look at that guy. You know what? With the way my brothers tossed my ass out of the family business, I hope they’re reading this and choking on their scones.

Tony: Good morning.

Chad: You see this? About jake at titan?

Tony: Oh, that ex-mechanic, ex-hoodlum is as successful at titan as he was at dimera. We have nothing to worry about.

Chad: Believe me, I’m not worried. Want a scone?

Tony: Actually, I was supposed to meet anna in the solarium for breakfast but I haven’t been able to find her. Have you seen her?

Chad: Heard her burning rubber.

Tony: Excuse me?

Chad: Anna, she took off about 15 minutes ago like a bat out of hell.

Tony: Well, that’s strange. I wonder where she went.

[Mysterious music]

 

Anna: Oh, thank goodness you’re here, roman.

Roman: Well, good morning, but if you’re here for breakfast, we don’t open for another half hour.

Anna: No, I don’t need breakfast; I couldn’t possibly eat a bite– not when life as we know it could change forever.

Roman: “Life as we know it”?

Anna: We have an emergency on our hands, roman, and we have got to do something about it right now.

Lani: Good morning, sunshine.

Eli: You know what time it is?

Lani: I do.

Eli: Did you set my alarm last night?

Lani: I did.

Eli: Woman, you know I had a late shift last night. I don’t have to be up for a few more hours.

Lani: Wrong, ’cause you have to be up now because we have someplace to be. Auntie p’s? Breakfast? You forgot, didn’t you?

Eli: [Groans] Oh, yes.

Lani: [Laughs]

Paulina: I know what mama wants, tammy, especially since she had no problem drumming it into my head over and over again while she was here.

[Sighs] Everything’s gonna be fine, big sister. I’m back in everybody’s good graces now. And I promise you, abe will not find out that lani’s my daughter or that he’s not really the father. Because if he does, I surely will lose him and I am not going to let that happen. Well, yeah. Yeah, love you too. Talk soon.

Abe: What was that all about?

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

[Soft orchestration]

 

Lani: Maybe this will help.

Eli: Sleep would help. Not breakfast at the crack of dawn. You know, I vote we cancel.

Lani: And hurt auntie p’s feelings? She is so excited about this. To whip up an extra-special breakfast so we can all start the day together.

Eli: Mm.

Lani: It’s her way of making up after everything that happened.

Eli: Didn’t we already forgive her and move on?

Lani: You know my auntie. She likes to go big. She has to prove herself, prove how sorry she is, how much she loves us. And this is how she does it.

Eli: By going big.

Lani: The bigger, the better.

Eli: Oh, god. You sure there’s no way we can get out of this?

Lani: Not a chance. She and dad are counting on us.

Paulina: What was what all about?

Abe: Well, I’m sorry, but I heard you say something like, “I would surely lose him and I can’t let that happen.”

Paulina: Oh, well, I was, uh, telling my sister that I had to cancel twice with my new hairdresser here in salem. And if I have to cancel again, he’ll probably drop me as a client. Oh, speaking of canceling, I hired this trendy new chef in chicago to cook for us all this morning, but the man, he texted me about an hour ago. He sprained his ankle. He can’t make it.

Abe: Mm, that’s too bad.

Paulina: Oh, abe, I wanted our little gathering here this morning to be perfect but it looks like we’re either gonna have to postpone it or just order from some nearby diner.

Abe: No, we don’t have to do either one ’cause I happen to know that you have a seriously stocked pantry. So I think, between the two of us, we could put a fabulous brunch on the table.

Paulina: You always know how to cheer me up, abe carver.

Abe: You know, it’s seeing that smiling face of yours that cheers me up. And…this.

[Both smooch]

Paulina: Mm-hmm.

Gabi: [Scoffs] It’s all happening, jake. I mean, first we steal titan out from under philip and then we use titan to crush dimera.

Jake: Yeah, I can get behind that.

Gabi: Too bad we didn’t find anything in philip’s office yesterday.

Jake: A sammy sosa baseball card is not nothing.

Gabi: Yeah, but we can’t use that to bring him down. It’s fine, it’s only day one, and I’ve got plenty of ideas on ways I can sabotage him.

Jake: You really are relentless, aren’t you?

Gabi: When I want something, damn right I am. And I want this with a vengeance.

Jake: Hey, you and me both. All right? The way tony and ej and chad all gloated when they voted me out as ceo…

[Chuckles] I can’t wait to rip their little empire out from under them.

Gabi: They’re so arrogant. They’re so full of themselves and their–their dimera power. You know, they’re not gonna see us coming.

Tony: Hello, my darling. I was looking forward to our breakfast. Oh, you know what? Why don’t you call me when you get this message. I love you. I suppose…a little mystery is always good for a marriage.

Chad: At least your wife is in the same city.

Tony: You’ve not heard from abigail?

Chad: It’s not like I can call her. I promised her I would give her time and space to figure things out.

Tony: Oh, she’ll come back to you.

Chad: Not that I deserve it, but I sure hope she does.

[Sighs] So much for the traditional labor day picnic with thomas and charlotte. Jack asked if he wanted to– if he could take the kids for the weekend out to the lake. Eh, who am I to say no?

Tony: So you’ll be here alone, then?

Chad: Yeah, but I got plenty of work to keep me busy.

Tony: [Chuckles] Yeah, why do I get the feeling the only thing that’s gonna be on your mind is abigail?

Chad: And how I screwed up. The good news is, jack said he was gonna talk to her this weekend and he said he would talk to her about me. Find out if she’S… planning on ever coming home.

Roman: Okay, uh, but can I at least have a cup of coffee before we take on the world?

Anna: No, no. There’s no time to waste. Our daughter needs us.

Roman: Wait a minute, what– what’s wrong with carrie? Was there an accident? Is she okay?

Anna: No, nothing like that. She’s fine. Physically, at least. But emotionally, she’s a total wreck. It’s her marriage, roman. It’s flatlining. Code blue!

Roman: Come on. I just saw carrie and austin in february. Everything was fine.

Anna: Well, whatever was fine in february is kaput now.

Roman: Okay, what happened?

Anna: She called. She was totally broken up. She could hardly speak. The only thing I could get out of her was that she and austin had a terrible fight. We have to help our baby, roman. We need to get to zurich right now.

 

John: All right, I’m on it. Yeah, I’ll get back to you.

Marlena: What’s going on?

John: Shane wants black patch for a top secret case. Couldn’t go into details over the phone, but he wants steve and me in zurich as soon as possible.

Marlena: Well… there goes our weekend.

John: [Sighs]

Lani: Did they wake up?

Eli: No, still asleep.

Lani: Oh, good.

Eli: Oh, look at you! So fine.

Lani: Mm. [Chuckles] Maybe you can save that thought for tonight?

Eli: I got a better idea. I still got lots of time before I need to be at work. So… I can think of a bunch of stuff that we can do that’s way better than going to aunt paulina’s breakfast.

Lani: Mm, okay, well, I would love to do those things with you but, um–

Eli: Yes, I know. You don’t want to upset paulina and you don’t want to let your dad down.

Lani: Now that he and aunt paulina are back on track, I want to show them that we support them 100%.

Eli: Because you’re the best daughter in the world and the best niece in the world.

Lani: And, uh, I’m kinda hungry.

[Both chuckle]

Eli: All right, well, that settles it. Let’s go to breakfast.

Lani: Let’s do it.

Abe: My goodness. You know, something smells amazing.

Paulina: [Chuckles] That’s my famous baked-egg casserole. Yeah, I need to sauté a little sausage, peppers, and onions.

Abe: Ooh, well, tell me what to do. I’ll be your sous-chef.

Paulina: You don’t look to me like anybody’s “sous” anything. You’re a man who’s used to being boss.

Abe: Well, yeah, but, you know, I’m willing to take directions for a worthy cause, and… I can’t think of anything worthier than a family breakfast with my nearest and dearest.

Paulina: [Chuckles] Well, in that case, you’re gonna need this.

[Chuckling]

Abe: Oh. [Laughs]

[Both laughing] Ah. [Smooches]

[Both laughing]

John: No, no, no, no, no, I understand. Just have fun at the wedding. Yeah, of course I’ll keep you in the loop, partner. Right. Love to kayla.

Marlena: Hmm. Sounds like you’ve lost your partner.

John: Steve is justin’s best man. I didn’t even realize today was the big day.

Marlena: And kayla is bonnie’s matron of honor.

John: How crazy is that? All the hell bonnie gave adrienne, steve couldn’t stand the sight of her. Now the two of ’em are standing up for the happy couple.

Marlena: Yeah. I guess they saw how happy they were and decided that’s what was important.

John: Well, just the power of love, huh? Hmm, that’s nothing you and i know anything about, is it?

[Both chuckle] I love you.

Gabi: All right, I better get dressed if we wanna beat philip to the office.

Jake: What if philip got to the office before us, huh?

Gabi: It’s your first day. You can’t be late.

Jake: Let’s call it a breakfast meeting, hmm?

Gabi: Mm, I think that you don’t have breakfast or work in mind.

Jake: Oh, what do you expect? Do you realize how hot you are when you start talking corporate takeovers, huh?

Gabi: Oh, come on.

Jake: Come on. Destroying empires… bringing down the enemy…

Gabi: Well, we can’t get to any of that if we’re rolling around in bed.

Jake: Think of it as a team-building exercise.

[Intriguing music]

 

Tony: I know how difficult this must be for you. But I also know how much you love abigail and how much abigail loves you. And I have every bit of confidence that she’s gonna be back home soon, into your arms. You just have to be patient.

Chad: I am not a patient man.

Tony: You don’t have a choice in this matter.

Chad: True. It’s just that… every time I wake up and abby isn’t next to me, I wonder how I’m gonna get through the day and the next day and the day after that.

Tony: Well, I may not be as pretty, but I have been told I’m good company. So why don’t you join me for breakfast? We can have eggs benedict, smoked salmon, bellinis…

Chad: I appreciate the invite but I have, uh… I have an early meeting. Thank you for listening.

Tony: Oh, any time, brother. Oh… it will work out with you and abigail. Trust my words.

[Sighs] Anna, where are you?

Roman: [Sighs] Look, I… I am sorry that carrie’s upset, but…why, exactly, do we need to go to zurich?

Anna: Because! We are her parents. She needs us.

Roman: Did she say that?

Anna: Well, no, but I am her mother. I can read between the lines.

Roman: You know what? Look, anna, we’re not going to zurich, okay? Carrie and austin are adults. They’re level-headed. They will work this out.

Anna: And what if they don’t? I couldn’t live with myself if our baby girl’s marriage implodes because we couldn’t be bothered to get on a plane when she needs us the most.

Roman: Except she didn’t ask us to come, anna!

Anna: We’re going to have a family meeting. You can talk to austin. I will talk with carrie. We will make sure that austin knows that he is married to the most wonderful girl in the whole wide world and he better sure as hell take care of her and– why am I even blathering on like this when we should be getting on a plane? So you go pack and we can strategize on the plane.

Roman: It’s not gonna happen.

Anna: Okay, well, then– then you can buy clothes when we get there.

Roman: Yeah, that’s not what I mean. I’m not going to zurich, and neither should you.

[Tense music]

As someone who resembles someone else…

Paulina: And now the magic begins.

Abe: Well, I am looking at the magic right now.

Paulina: Oh. [Chuckles] I couldn’t have done it without you. You can be my sous-chef any day of the week.

Abe: Oh, I like the sound of that.

[Both chuckle]

[Doorbell rings]

Paulina: Oh, right on time. Good morning!

Eli: Morning.

Paulina: Good morning. Oh.

Lani: Good morning.

Paulina: Good morning. And good morning, my sweet little sleepy angels.

Eli: Yeah, at least someone gets to sleep.

[All chuckle]

Lani: Hi, dad.

Abe: Hey, sweetheart. Hey. Yeah, eli.

Eli: Good morning.

Abe: Hey there, sweetie.

Lani: Mmm! Auntie, is that your–

Paulina: Famous breakfast casserole? You bet it is. I wanted to make something that was worth getting out of bed for.

Abe: Oh, and this is for you. It’s just oj, ’cause I know you have to go to work later. And for you, my dear, and you. And I would like to propose a toast to second chances and new beginnings.

Lani: Cheers.

[All chuckle]

[Warm music]

 

Jake: Oh, and my day was going so well.

Chad: Hey! I hear congratulations are in order. I heard about your little job over at titan.

Gabi: “Little job”?

Chad: Relatively speaking. I don’t know if you know this, but I was actually ceo over there.

Gabi: For what? About two seconds?

Chad: Sure, it was brief, but it was not like I got my ass handed to me because I couldn’t do the job.

Jake: You son of a bitch.

Gabi: Don’t give him the satisfaction, jake. It’s okay. Go ahead, make fun. But it’s a mistake to underestimate jake. He’s gonna be running titan before you know it.

[Tense music]

 

John: Well, I guess I better call good old shane back and tell him I’m flying solo on this one.

Marlena: Not necessarily.

John: What, you know something I don’t know? Steve said he can’t make it.

Marlena: I can.

John: Excuse me?

Marlena: Why don’t you take me to zurich?

[Warm music]

 

Anna: You don’t want to go to zurich? Don’t you care about our daughter’s marriage?

Roman: Of course I care, but as I’ve been saying, but it doesn’t seem to register, it’s none of our business.

Anna: She’s our daughter!

Roman: And she’s an adult, and it’s her marriage. And I doubt if she’d appreciate her parents flying halfway around the world to interfere in her life in this way– in any way!

Anna: Well, I think she would. Besides, she needs us. She needs you, roman. Your wisdom, your advice–

Roman: Anna, the only person who needs my advice is you, and here it is, okay? Do not go to zurich. Stay home. Let carrie and austin work out their problems on their own.

Anna: That is not the answer.

Roman: Yes, it is, and it’s the only one I’ve got.

Anna: Well, fine. If you won’t help me, then I guess I just have to do it myself. Oh!

Certain hpv-related cancers?

Jake: You know, gabi, we’re done here. Let’s go to the office.

Chad: Have fun punching the clock for philip.

Gabi: You’re a condescending jerk, you know that?

Chad: Yeah, I’m also the ceo of dimera.

Gabi: Co-ceo. And how is abigail? Is she still in boston with her mom?

Chad: How’s arianna? Still in phoenix with her two dads?

Gabi: For now, yes, but I intend on having her come live with me.

Chad: Oh, I’m sure that’s gonna go over real well with sonny and will.

Gabi: W-what are you suggesting? That they’re gonna have a problem with that? Because they won’T.

Chad: Sure about that?

Gabi: What the hell do you know? I spoke to sonny yesterday. He says he hasn’t spoken to you in weeks, so some best friend you are.

John: Doc, I know it might sound romantic to spend the last few days of summer in zurich, but… I don’t have to remind you this is a work trip, here. I’m sure I’m gonna spend the whole time on the case. It’s not gonna be much fun for you.

Marlena: Well, I could keep you company on the flight. And I could visit with austin and carrie. You know, I haven’t seen carrie for such a long time and… I’m sure we have lots to catch up on.

John: And I’m sure she would love that, yeah.

Marlena: And without your partner, well, who knows? You might need a little help on the case.

John: You mean from…?

Marlena: Yours truly.

[Intriguing music]

 

Lani: Oh, auntie p, it was so nice of you to have us over.

Paulina: Honey, we are going to do this more often. I mean, what better way to start the day?

Eli: What is that smell?

Paulina: Hmm?

Eli: That smell?

Paulina: Oh, my glory! Oh!

Lani: Uh, is everything okay in there?

Paulina: No, it’s not okay at all! I set the temp too high and my casserole is ruined!

Lani: Auntie, it doesn’t matter.

Paulina: Yes, it does matter. Of course it does.

[Voice breaking] Oh, I wanted– I wanted to celebrate the three of you. Your love, your kindness, your willingness to forgive me. I am not doing that with oatmeal.

Eli: Well, I do love oatmeal.

Paulina: Well, I’ll just start all over. I have all the ingredients. Just keep the mimosas and the orange juice, just keep it flowing.

Abe: No, no, no, you don’t have to go to that much trouble.

Paulina: No, it’s no trouble at all.

Eli: Well, you know, look, I’d love to stay and stick around, but I gotta get going. I gotta get back to the station.

Lani: You can’t just tell them you’re gonna be a little late?

Eli: No, why don’t– why don’t we reschedule? I’ve got the whole labor day weekend off. You know, just pick a day, pick a time, I’ll be there.

Abe: Sounds good to me.

Paulina: Oh, ah, labor day weekend, that’s it!

Abe: What? What’s “it”?

Paulina: Well, instead of a different time, how about a different place? Forget about breakfast in salem. Let’s do lunch in miami!

Lani: [Laughing] What? Honestly, I thought I was getting my floors cleaned.

Abe: You want to have lunch in miami?

Paulina: Sure. Why not? I’ll charter a jet. It’ll whisk us all off by the time we finish packing.

> Lani: I told you, she likes to go big.

Paulina: Mm-hmm, and I don’t take no for an answer. So what do you say? Hey, palm beach, south beach? Little fun in the sun? And you can get to see my place on star island. Have I told you how fabulous it is? All: Yes.

Lani: [Chuckles]

Paulina: Well, how about it? Can you tear yourself away from salem for a few days, mr. Mayor?

Abe: I probably can manage it.

Paulina: Well?

Eli: Well, yeah, yeah. Yes, it sounds awesome, but I still gotta get to work.

Paulina: Well, I’m sure you can take a personal day.

Lani: Wait, what– what about the kids?

Paulina: What about them? Bring them along. The more the merrier.

[Warm music]

 

Chad: You’re right. My bad. It’s been a while since I’ve been in touch with sonny.

Gabi: ‘Cause you’re too busy feeling sorry for yourself because abigail went bye-bye.

Chad: Well, I am lonely for her, but she’ll be back.

Gabi: You sure about that? Because you not only cheated on her, but it was with her sister. So I don’t think the odds sound very great for you.

Chad: Go to hell.

Gabi: Wait, chad. Actually, um, since you haven’t spoken to him, you should know that sonny is making his company public.

Chad: That’s great news. I’m very happy for him.

Gabi: Well, you should let him know that.

Chad: You should mind your own business.

Gabi: I’m pretty sure this is my business because sonny and will are currently caring for my daughter. And sonny’s crazy busy and so is will because of the newspaper, so there’s a possibility that arianna might have to come live with us since we are in a position to give her A… loving and stable home.

Chad: [Laughs] Yeah. Stability, yeah, right. That’s exactly what people think of when they think of you.

Gabi: Snipe at me all you want, but if you really care so damn much about your bff sonny, you should give him a call and congratulate him.

[Tense music]

 

Tony: Oh, there you are, darling. Where have you been? I thought we were having breakfast together.

Anna: Breakfast? Why is everyone so obsessed with breakfast? Especially at a time like this?

Tony: It’s not even noon.

Anna: Well, it’s almost the end of the day in zurich and the end of carrie and austin’s marriage.

Tony: I’m sorry, I’m– I’m not quite following.

Anna: I talked with carrie. There was a big blow-up with austin and she was in tears. She was devastated. Whatever’s happened, obviously, it’s his fault.

Tony: [Chuckles] Obviously.

Anna: And she needs the support of her parents.

Tony: Yeah, so why don’t you speak to roman?

Anna: I just did. I told him he needs to get on the next flight with me to zurich. And you know what he said?

Tony: No.

Anna: He said no.

Tony: Well, that’s what I just said.

Anna: Well, how do you know?

Tony: Oh, instinct. But I think it was exactly the right answer. I don’t think either of you should be going to zurich to fix a problem that is not your responsibility to fix. I think you should let austin and carrie work it out themselves. People everywhere living with type 2 diabetes

Anna: Why are you taking roman’s side in this, tony?

Tony: I’m not taking sides, anna. Look, I know how much you love your daughter and how much you want to help save their marriage, but what happens when you land and the problem between them was just a lover’s spat and you then discover them in each other’s arms? Or, heaven forbid, the problem continues and your presence only makes things worse? You’d never forgive yourself.

Anna: No. I would never forgive myself if I didn’t go.

Tony: Anna, darling…

Anna: No, don’T. Don’t “anna, darling” me. My daughter is in trouble and I have to pack. And you can enjoy your breakfast, your lunch, and dinner with–without me. So I have no idea when I’m coming back.

Tony: Anna, wait.

[Soft music]

I’m going too.

Anna: [Voice breaking] What?

Tony: To zurich. I’ll book our flight.

John: So you want to go play spy with me in zurich?

Marlena: Well, you’ve said that I’ve been very helpful to you. I’ve helped you solve cases in the past. And you said I’m a very good detective, and you’ve also said that we’re a terrific team.

John: And that’s a fact.

Marlena: A–and in 2017, I went to europe by myself and tracked down stefano.

John: And you’re beautiful and you’re brilliant and you’re brave. And there’s no one else I would rather have on my side.

Marlena: Mm.

John: So… looks like you and i are going to zurich, doesn’t it?

Marlena: We are?

[Both laughing] Whoo-hoo! Oh, boy! [Laughs]

[Uplifting music]

 

Lani: It really does sound amazing. It does, auntie, but… I don’t know, the twins have never traveled before. I don’t know how they’ll do on a plane and then sleeping in a strange place. We should probably pass.

Paulina: Well, though I love the babies being along on the ride with us, well, hasn’t julie been begging for some quality time with jules and carver? Now is her chance.

Eli: Julie and doug would love this.

Lani: Yeah, they– they definitely would.

Paulina: And isn’t your maternity leave up and you have to go back to work on tuesday?

Lani: Yes.

Paulina: And the two of you, have you had any “you” time since those precious little dolls have been born?

Eli: No.

[All laugh]

Paulina: Well… [Chuckles] Doug and julie, they get their chance with those little babies and you get your chance for a romantic weekend, and– well, for all of us. Sunsets, late night swims…

[Both laugh]

Eli: You are very hard to say no to, aunt paulina.

Lani: Ah.

Paulina: That’s the idea.

Lani: Okay. Let’s do it.

Paulina: Oh, hallelujah! Miami, here we come!

[All laugh] Whoo! Charlie’s my little sidekick when it

Lani: [Sighs]

Eli: You know, I’m not sure my grandmother is gonna want to give jules and carver back to us when we get home.

Lani: You do know that they are going to be spoiled rotten, right?

Eli: That’s what grandparents are for.

Lani: [Sighs] Mm, I miss them already.

Eli: Yeah. It’s kinda quiet in here.

Lani: I know.

Eli: But you know what? We are going to miami! I am gonna dance you until dawn and kiss you under the moonlight. And you know what?

Lani: Hmm?

Eli: You get to have my undivided attention the entire time we’re there.

Lani: You do know we’re going with my auntie paulina, right?

Eli: Mm-hmm.

Lani: She requires a lot of attention and I have some plans for you, myself.

Eli: Like what?

Lani: It’s the first time you have ever been to my hometown. And I cannot wait to show you all the places I loved when I was a kid. Like, there’s this beach where you can go and find the most amazing shells and sea glass. And… I have this bikini that I have been waiting to wear all summer.

Eli: Really?

Lani: Mm-hmm.

Eli: Well, I can’t wait to see you in it and out.

Lani: Wow.

Paulina: I understand, sweetie. Next time, for sure. I love you too.

Abe: Chanel can’t join us?

Paulina: She’s too busy gearing up for the opening of the bakery next week. You probably should finish packing. Jet is wheels up in one hour.

Abe: Ooh, I don’t want to miss the jet.

Paulina: You’re not excited about this weekend?

Abe: I didn’t say that. But you were thinking it.

Abe: What I was thinking is that this is very extravagant and very impulsive.

Paulina: Well, I’m a very extravagant and very impulsive kind of girl.

Abe: [Chuckles] That you are.

Paulina: And I’m happy. I’m happier than I’ve ever been. You and lani, you’ve forgiven me and all I see is love and joy ahead for us.

Abe: Well, in that case, I guess it’s worth a celebration.

Paulina: Mm-hmm, and we’re gonna do it in style.

Abe: [Chuckles] Star island.Gonna show you where I grew up, with– with big mama and tammy. Show you why I love miami.

[Chuckles] And best part is I get to fall in love with it all over again because I get to see it through your eyes, and I can’t think of anything that would make me happier.

Abe: Well, if you’re gonna put it that way, I wouldn’t miss it for anything in the world.

Paulina: Oh, honey.

[Smooching]

Jake: You were A… a little hard on chad, don’t you think?

Gabi: Well, he deserved it. I mean, what a pompous ass. He thinks he’s better than us and smarter than us because he and ej got dimera handed to them on a silver platter?

Jake: Right, just like philip failed his way to the top at titan ’cause he’s daddy’s darling.

Gabi: Exactly. That’s why we’re gonna win. Because we know what it means to work our tails off, to never lose sight of the prize. So no. No one–not philip kiriakis or ej or chad dimera– is gonna stop us.

[Intriguing music]

 

Chad: Hey.

Roman: Hey.

Chad: Morning.

Roman: Good morning. Haven’t seen you in a while. How’s it going?

Chad: Ah, I’m hanging in there. I was–I was hoping that you could help me with something, actually.

Roman: If I can, sure.

Chad: Well, I wanted to take a weekend trip to phoenix and… I don’t want to impose, but have you talked to will lately?

Roman: Yeah, matter of fact, I talked to him the other day and he said that he and sonny were missing family and friends. So I think a visit from you would be just what they need.

Chad: All right, then. Then it’s a plan.

Roman: Okay, I’ll need photos, especially of arianna.

Chad: Uh, you got ’em.

Roman: Good to see you.

Chad: Hey, good to see you.

[Mellow music]

 

[Line trilling] Hey, sonny! Yeah, no, I know, it’s– it’s been a while. No, I’m sorry about that. Um, hey, I heard about the great news about the ipo. Yeah, and I was–I was thinking maybe I could come out and congratulate you in person. Ah, just for the weekend, if you’re not too busy. Oh, you don’t mind? Ah, yeah. No, I’m gonna have ’em fire up the dimera jet right away then. Yeah, I’ll be there in no time.

Anna: Tony, you’d really go with me?

Tony: Of course. You’re my wife, anna. What’s important to you is important to me. Besides, someone has to take care of you, ’cause the last time you were in europe without me…

Anna: Oh, please, let’s not go there.

Tony: Oh, fine, fine, but just to be on the safe side, I’m just gonna make sure you don’t get yourself into any kind of trouble.

Anna: Oh, darling, no one’s ever taken such good care of me.

Tony: [Chuckles] Oh, now I’m back in the good graces.

[Both chuckle]

Anna: What are you talking about?

Tony: Well, I know you were a little upset with me because I didn’t invest in johnny’s movie. But let’s look at it this way: We have money; we have great success; uh, we have… well, freedom to travel whenever and wherever we please.

Anna: And for a very important reason.

[Both chuckle] And I have a feeling– a very strong feeling– we’re going to be very glad we did.

John: All right, doc. Next stop is zurich.

Marlena: Yes, together. As it should be.

John: As it should be.

[ Somber music ]

[ Sighing ]

Finn: Steffy forrester, will you be my wife?

Steffy: Yes!

Finn: I give you this ring as a sign of my love and commitment to you.

Finn: Steffy, can we talk?

Steffy: Yeah, hi. Sure.

Finn: Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you. I let myself in.

Steffy: No, it’S… it’s okay. I was just thinking.

Finn: Yeah, I’ve been thinking a lot too. I want you to know how truly sorry I am. I should never allowed sheila anywhere near our son.

[ Dramatic music ]

[ Tapping of phone ]

Sheila: At least it was until steffy ruined it.

Ridge: I was hoping you’d be here.

Eric: You were? Why? Is this gonna turn into some kind of an intervention? Is that what this is?

Brooke: Eric, we can’t help being concerned.

Eric: Stop. Stop looking out for me. Don’t question my choices. Or my marriage. There’s more to quinn and me than you can see. There’s more going on with us than you can possibly understand.

Quinn: Thanks for meeting me here. I really didn’t want to get into this at the office.

Shauna: I completely understand. This will give us a chance to talk more privately. It’s really true? Eric?

Quinn: Unfortunately.

Shauna: Well, these things happen from time to time. If a man is under a lot of stress, or has performance anxiety. Do you remember that valet guy I was dating?

Quinn: Which one? Look, I wish it were that simple, I really do. I mean, anxiety, I would know how to handle that. But this? What am I supposed to do, shauna? My husband may never be able to make love to me again.

Shauna: It must’ve been quite a shock when eric told you.

Quinn: Yeah. I mean, he’s always been so virile, you know? It explains a lot, though.

Shauna: Explains?

Quinn: Why he was pulling away from me. Why he was being so distant. It wasn’t just because he was disappointed in me. He was covering up for this problem.

Shauna: If he would’ve told you back then…

Quinn: I know, and look, I’m not trying to make excuses, but one of the reasons that I ended up in carter’s arms is because he was being so cold to me.

Shauna: You’re thinking about that, aren’t you?

Quinn: Thinking about what?

Shauna: About what you gave up to be back with eric. Quinn, you confided in me what it was like to be with carter. How unbelievable it all was. And now, finding out that connection with eric may never be possible, I know what I would be thinking if I were you.

Steffy: You don’t have to keep apologizing.

Finn: But I will. Until I get through to you. Until you understand I know what I did was wrong. Not sheila showing up, but that I allowed it.

Steffy: It felt like a huge betrayal, finn.

Finn: Yeah, but I’m not gonna let it change what we have. You hear me, steffy? I’m not gonna let sheila or anyone come between us.

Steffy: You will never be part of my family. Do you hear that? Do you hear that? I never want to see your face again.

Sheila: Steffy’s the problem. She’s the one coming between me and my son. There are times, I wonder…

Eric: I know you mean well, but my marriage is not your business. It’s not open to discussion or critique. I’m gonna go home to my wife.

Shauna: Quinn, be honest. After everything you told me about your time with carter, it was to be crossing your mind.

Quinn: Yes, I am thinking about carter. I mean, honestly, I… I love him too. I do. Everything about him.

Shauna: And if your husband can’t give you what you need?

Quinn: Don’T. Please, shauna. Don’T.

Shauna: You’re completely justified in feeling the way you do. Especially with this new development. It’s okay to admit that you miss that part of your life! And that you miss being with carter.

Steffy: I didn’t want sheila to come between us either. And she wouldn’t be if you kept your promise and you told her to stay away.

Finn: I know, but my dad was convinced that all we needed to do was give her one visit, let her see hayes, hold him, and she’d be gone. Now, look, I’m not blaming my dad, but he was adamant. And he… I’ve always trusted his judgment.

Steffy: You should’ve trusted my judgment. I know what sheila’s capable of. He doesn’T. He has no idea.

Finn: Even though he was trying to help, yeah, he’s obviously made things much worse. No, you’re right. I’ve made things much worse. I’m the one who betrayed your trust. But I want to earn it back.

Steffy: Don’t think I don’t want that too.

[ Sighing ] It’s just difficult.

Finn: And it’s even more difficult when we’re apart. I was miserable last night. And it felt so wrong to sleep alone. I don’t want that to be how we deal with our problems. Look, this is a marriage, and when things get rough, we’ve got to fight even harder to stay united. Look, I cannot be away from you any longer.

Sheila: Grown. Cutie. He’s so beautiful. I’m your grandma, hayes. I have been dying to meet you. I have. It felt so good holding you in my arms. My grandson. A forrester.

[ Giggling ] What do you think of that, stephanie? You looking up from hell right now even more tormented? Knowing that your namesake gave birth to my grandson. My grandson! You tried and you tried to get rid of me. And now, I am a permanent fixture in the forrester family. And you know what? I’m going to embrace that. I’m not going anywhere. Finn is my son. He and hayes deserve to be a part of my life. And they would be… if it weren’t for steffy. Front loader odor.

Brooke: I just don’t get it.

Ridge: Oh, I don’t get it either.

Brooke: How many times– how many different ways can quinn show that she can’t be trusted?

Ridge: No matter what, he’s going to keep taking her back.

Brooke: And he’s not even happy about it. He keeps blaming himself for her cheating.

Ridge: It’s ridiculous! Quinn and carter had an affair, nothing to do with my dad.

Quinn: I do miss him.

Shauna: I know.

Quinn: I miss carter a lot.

Shauna: I know you do, I don’t blame you. Especially now that eric can’T…

Quinn: You know, I try to be encouraging, I told him maybe there are specialists he doesn’t know of, or therapies that he’s never even heard of yet.

Shauna: I’m assuming he’s already tried.

Quinn: I just– maybe I have to accept the fact that my husband may never be able to perform again. But shauna, I don’t care, because it’s what I signed up for. We made vows, “for better or for worse,” right? I mean, it– isn’t that what life is all about? Making sacrifices for the ones you love the most?

Shauna: And you’re prepared to give up that part of your life entirely?

Quinn: If that’s what I have to do for eric, I will. I love him that much.

Finn: My love for you is forever, steffy.

Steffy: That’s how I feel, too.

Finn: Good, we can get through this. And we will. Alright? I’m not gonna let my birth mother affect us. We’ve got to move forward. Sheila is gone. But I’m not. I’m here. I’m always gonna be here. For you.

Steffy: I’m here for you, too.

Finn: I just– I can’t believe I let you down.

Steffy: And I’ve let you down too. I said I didn’t want to go to the courthouse. But, I didn’t want you to misunderstand, I just wasn’T… I couldn’t sign the marriage certificate with everything else going on.

Finn: I don’t care about the courthouse. Or the marriage certificate. Or the fact that there’s no ac in the guest house.

Steffy: Oh, is that the real reason you’re coming back here?

Finn: I mean, could we at least put in a window unit?

[ Giggling ] There’s that beautiful smile. The way it lights up your eyes, and those gorgeous lips.

Steffy: Do you really think that sheila’s going to leave us alone?

Finn: I do. And even if she doesn’t, I’m gonna have nothing to do with her. My commitment’s to you. To our family, which doesn’t include sheila. We won’t let her come between us.

Steffy: We won’T.

Finn: Does that mean I can come back from exile?

Steffy: I guess you can come back in the air conditioned house.

[ Giggling ]

Finn: Good. We can celebrate.

Steffy: Well, we’re gonna have to celebrate a little bit later because I have to go into the office right now.

Finn: Oh no.

Steffy: I know, I know. But, I’ll make it up to you. Tonight. Thanks for being you.

Finn: Right back at ya.

Steffy: I love you.

[ Giggling ]

Sheila: Finn.

Finn: What are you doing here?

Sheila: Oh, please don’t be upset. I just had to see my son again. Ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete,

Shauna: I respect you for dedicating yourself to you marriage and the way you adore eric, I mean, how could you not. He’s the sweetest man, so kind. But you just ended a very sexually charged relationship with carter. So, how do you go from that, to what? Complete celibacy?

Quinn: I have to. I want to be true to eric. And I will. 100% committed. Look. I want to have a strong and healthy marriage. If that means that I have to give up passion, excitement, sensuality, then so be it. I would do anything for eric. Anything.

Steffy: Hello.

Brooke: Hello.

Steffy: Hi.

Ridge: Hi. I’m liking this mood you’re in. What’s going on?

Steffy: Let’s just say everything’s back on track.

Ridge: With you and finn.

Steffy: Yeah. He understands the severity of the situation.

Brooke: You mean sheila.

Steffy: Mm-hm. He gets it now. She’s not gonna be a problem for us. Not ever again.

Finn: You can’t come in here.

Sheila: It’s okay. I waited until steffy was gone. I didn’t want to, you know, upset her or cause anymore problems.

Finn: You are causing problems just by being here.

Sheila: She doesn’t need to know. I’m not gonna stay long. I couldn’t help myself. I can’t stop thinking about you, and hayes. My handsome son. This adorable child. I’d love to hold him one more time.

Finn: You know I can’t allow that. Not after how steffy reacted. You can’t see hayes, and you can’t come here anymore.

Sheila: But I’m your mother.

Finn: You’re my birth mother. And I can’t have you in my life. I’m not gonna betray steffy again. This… this can’t continue, sheila.

Sheila: No, “mom.” Please just call me mom.

Finn: I can’T. I can’T. And… I am not trying to hurt you, but you need to go. You said that you would leave and you would never come back.

Sheila: That was my intention. Then, steffy bursted in, and she ruined my moment with my grandson. And I just want to hold him one more time.

Finn: No! You need to honor your word and you need to stay away from us. My son and I will have no part of your life, sheila. Not ever. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey! Sheila, hey! Sheila! Sheila! Hey! Sheila. Sheila. Hi, hello? Yeah, I need an ambulance. In malibu. 4185 bluffside road. Yeah, she has a pulse but she’s unconscious… female, late 50s… her name is sheila carter… she’s um…she’s my mother. She’s my mom… this is dr. John finnegan, I can start chest compressions if necessary.

[ Dramatic music ]

Ridge: So, um… how is my daughter, really?

Steffy: Honestly? Not great.

Ridge: That’s what I figured. That’s why I keep checking on ya. Donna called. She said she’s picking up the kids for the day. So that’s good, right, helpful. I just can’t believe– I can’t believe that finn would let sheila in this house.

Steffy: Yeah, that makes two of us.

Ridge: Sorry, I keep bringing it up.

Steffy: Honestly, I’m really worried about my relationship with finn.

Paris: I’m so sorry.

Finn: Yeah. Me, too.

Paris: I feel awful that you’re going through such a terrible time.

Finn: Well, I appreciate your support.

Paris: I can’t believe steffy cancelled going to the courthouse. I mean, doesn’t she want to make your marriage official?

Carter: I hope I didn’t make you feel uncomfortable or put you on the spot.

Quinn: By telling me that you miss me? No way.

Carter: Good. When we’re alone, I have a hard time hiding my feelings. You know, the ones I’m not supposed to have.

Quinn: I know those feelings well.

Carter: We were so close to making a life together. And that changed when eric wanted you back. I miss you, quinn. I won’t deny it. But I am happy for you. I can’t imagine what it feels like to be back in your husband’s arms.

Eric: I have… I have erectile dysfunction. I can’t, I can’T… I can’t make love to you.

Carter: Quinn? Is everything okay?

Ridge: You’re worried about your relationship? I mean, it’s more than that. You’re married.

Steffy: Technically, we’re not.

Ridge: What do you mean?

Steffy: We’re not officially married, dad.

Ridge: What, what are you talking about?

Steffy: We were supposed to go to the courthouse to file our marriage certificate, but… I couldn’t do it.

Finn: I–I’m sorry.

Paris: For what?

Finn: Dumping all my problems on you, and doing it here in the guest house, where there’s no air conditioning.

Paris: Okay, first of all, I can handle a little bit of heat. And secondly, you have absolutely nothing to be sorry about. I care about you and steffy. And if there’s anything I can do to help either of you– I’m happy to do anything you need.

Finn: You are a good friend.

Paris: Well, as a friend, could I have an opinion about this?

Finn: Of course. But I think I know what it is. I should never have let sheila in the house, let alone anywhere near hayes.

Paris: No. I think steffy is overreacting.

Carter: Is everything okay?

Quinn: Yeah. Sure.

Carter: Okay, I’m sensing like there’s something off. Is there some kind of trouble between you and eric? An adjustment period, maybe? He’s having a difficult time falling back into old patterns. It’s understandable. You know, given what happened between us. Give it time. He’s kind and forgiving. And he can be a little gruff, but deep down he’s just a, he’s just a big ‘ol teddy bear.

Quinn: Right.

Carter: I get the feeling like I didn’t help you, at all. What’S… what’s going on? Is there something you want to talk about?

[ Knocking on door]

Shauna: Oh. Uh… I was looking for flo. Am I interrupting something?

Quinn: Not at all.

Shauna: Okay. So why are you two behind closed doors? You try to stay ahead of the mess

Steffy: Things were so good between finn and me. Well, until sheila showed up.

Ridge: I’d never seen you that happy.

Steffy: It’s just hard to wrap my head around it. Everything was so wonderful and then my worst nightmare walks into the door.

Ridge: Well eventually, that nightmare’s gonna walk out the door. She’ll go back to her crazy, twisted life without hayes. ‘Cause he’s staying here. He’s gonna be raised by us. He’s going to be just like us and that’s scary enough, I think.

Steffy: I just want my kids to have every chance in life and not worry about sheila.

Ridge: I understand.

Steffy: It’s just wild to me, like how quickly things change. Like, one minute, I’m coming home. I’m excited to see my husband. I’m gonna surprising him and then the next, he’s staying in the guesthouse. Now today, I don’t know if I want to make our marriage official. Not yet. I can’t do it.

Paris: Look, I’m not bashing steffy. I would never do that. But, you’ll be out of here in no time once she starts thinking clearly again.

Finn: Hm, I don’t know about that. She said she couldn’t even look at me.

Paris: In the moment. All right, imagine the shock. She’s walks into her living room seeing sheila holding her baby in her arms.

Finn: You should have seen her face. It was… I mean, first shock and then, just… betrayal.

Paris: You were caught in the middle. Sheila might be the devil to everyone else, but she is your birth mother. You wouldn’t be human if you didn’t feel some kind of conflict.

Finn: Yeah, but there’s no question where my loyalties lie. It’s with my wife. I just… I let my dad… I don’t know, get into my head and I allowed something I never should have. I mean, what if that look of horror is always in steffy’s eyes whenever she looks at me?

Shauna: Did I walk in on a private moment?

Quinn: No.

Shauna: It’s just, it’s really odd after everything that’s happened– what you almost lost– that the two of you would be behind closed doors together, where anyone could easily misinterpret.

Quinn: For crying out loud, shauna. What are you? The door police? Carter and I both work in the same building. I mean, we just ended up in the same office.

Shauna: Okay. Just curious. Because you told me that you and eric were back together.

Quinn: Yes, we are. And I was telling carter how happy I am about that.

Carter: I’m delighted for them. And I mean it. I’m glad that you’re happy, quinn. You deserve no less.

Quinn: Thank you.

Carter: Now, I have some calls to make. Shauna.

Shauna: Carter. Well, that exchange was very weird.

Quinn: That’s just because you’re a naturally suspicious human being.

Shauna: Only with you.

Quinn: Gee. I’m touched.

Shauna: Oh, quinn, come on. I know you. I can tell that something’s weighing so heavily on you. What is going on? Tell me.

I may have moderate to

severe rheumatoid arthritis.

Steffy: I feel terrible about finn staying in the guest house. Maybe it isn’t fair. And I have to think about that as a possibility. I mean, he’s been there for me through some really difficult, challenging situations. And here I am just… doing the opposite, I’m telling him to leave.

Ridge: I think you’re being very fair. You need some room.

[ Sighing ] You’re meant to think. You’re conflicted. I mean, we all know that you love finn.

Steffy: I do.

Ridge: Bottom line is sheila. She– she’s a bad person. She wants to destroy anything to do with forrester. So we got to keep our guard up, especially with the kids.

Steffy: I get that. And finn didn’t ask for this. He wasn’t looking for his birth mother.

Ridge: No. But she found him. We have to be concerned.

Paris: That look in steffy’s eyes wasn’t for you. Come on, finn, you know she loves you. It doesn’t just disappear overnight.

Finn: It’s– it just kills me that I betrayed her trust. I mean, why did I not just kick sheila out immediately?

Paris: Because you’re human. Steffy has to try to understand that. She has to bend a little to try to understand your position. Sheila is your biological mother. And, and someone that you’ve wondered about your whole life and bam, she’s here. So of course, you’re drawn to her. Who wouldn’t be?

Finn: And I’d be fine if anyone was my birth mother but sheila.

Steffy: Yeah, but you don’t get to choose that.

Finn: True.

Paris: Steffy and you met way before my time in L.A., But I’ve heard enough stories to know that you’ve supported her through some really challenging times. Maybe it’s time she does the same for you. You two should be together, working through this. It’s not right of her to punish you. Have you staying here? You don’t deserve that.

Carter: We’re restocking already? Those bracelets are flying off the shelves. Yeah, yeah, yeah, quinn’ll be glad to hear that. Yeah, I’ll have her give you a call. Okay. All right, bye.

Shauna: I seem to remember us promising no more secrets. What is wrong, quinn? What is going on? Is it eric? Aren’t you happy to be back together?

Quinn: Of course I am. All I ever wanted was my husband. That’s how carter and I began. We were commiserating with each other over our broken relationships. I lost faith that eric would ever want me back. That’s, that’s why we had an affair. I hurt eric so much, but he found it in his heart to forgive me. He even ripped up the divorce papers.

[ Sighing ] That just shows you what a remarkable man he is.

Shauna: I totally agree. And I know firsthand how much eric loves you and how devoted he is. He always talked about what you brought to his life that he felt was missing: Excitement and vibrancy. Passion. Okay, I saw that look. Something is wrong. Quinn, I know you guys had your issues in the bedroom at one point. But that doesn’t seem to be the case any longer? Oh, quinn. He still doesn’t want to be with you?

Quinn: No… of course not. Eric wants me. He does but… but he can’T.

Shauna: Can’t what? What are you trying to say? (Cat 1) friskies world!

Ridge: I like finn. You– you do know that, right?

Steffy: Of course I do.

Ridge: Okay. I think he’s a good life partner for you. He’s good, he’s a good man and he loves you.

Steffy: I know.

Ridge: So I’m not standing here, attacking him… he’s in a tough spot. But so are you and I’m not sure that you’re realizing what this whole sheila thing is actually doing to you.

Steffy: No, I’m really freaked out dad, I am. I adore finn and I love our family. Our little baby boy. I’ve always had this vision for our future and it never included sheila! Like, I don’t– I don’t care if she’s his biological mother, but she’s not welcome here or anywhere near our family. And I don’t want–

Ridge: No, she’s not– shh. She’s not.

[ Sighing ] And finn’s gonna have to realize that. He’s gonna have to respect that. ‘Cause forgiving sheila… we can’t do that, not after everything she’s done to our family. But hey, you and finn, you got to work it out. You got to be stronger than ever.

Steffy: Yeah, I believe that. I do. I’m not gonna let anything come between us.

Ridge: Come here.

Paris: You are in an impossible position. I mean, not only was your bio-mom begging you for a moment, but your dad was pressuring you too.

Finn: Yeah, it was pretty intense. And I caved.

Paris: You thought that that would get sheila out of your lives for good.

Finn: Yeah, I did.

Paris: I mean, even if you did invite her in because you wanted to see your mother for one last time, who can blame you?

Finn: Yeah. Thanks for all the support, paris. I mean, I really appreciate it.

Paris: I’m just really impressed by you. You’re a good person. A healer. A devoted dad, not only to hayes, but to kelly. And you treat steffy like a queen. I find it hard to believe she didn’t race down to the courthouse to make the marriage official. I mean, she has to realize that she’s so lucky to be married to such an incredible guy.

Carter: I had to do that one last time.

Quinn: I’m so glad you did.

I’m not sure I should be talking about this.

Shauna: Your marriage? Your relationship to eric? Quinn, I’m your best friend. Who else are you gonna talk to about it? I can see you’re struggling with something. Is this about carter? I saw the way you two were looking at each other when I walked in and how intense it was. And you’ve confided in me what an incredible lover he is.

Quinn: Please. Don’t, don’t remind me.

Shauna: Honey? Talk to me?

Quinn: If I don’t talk to someone, I’m gonna explode.

Shauna: I’m right here.

Quinn: You know how much it meant to me to be back home with eric. I wanted to make it a romantic evening. You know, to– to show him that I love him. That I never stopped.

Shauna: Go on.

Quinn: I put on some sexy lingerie, and I went downstairs to the living room, but I found eric asleep on the couch. And I was disappointed at first, I was, but then I realized it had been a long day, we’d had a couple of martinis… I didn’t think anything of it and then, and then the next morning, he told me that he just… that he can’t keep this from me any longer.

Shauna: Keep what from you?

Quinn: Eric does want me. He desires me. He wants to be my husband in every way, but he can’t– he isn’t able to–

Shauna: Oh. Oh. Oh, quinn… you don’t mean…?

Quinn: My husband can’t get aroused anymore. Eric has E.D.. he can’t make love to me. He may never be able to make love to me ever again.

Days Update Friday, September 3, 2021

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Ben and Ciara lay together inside of a tent. They talk about their honeymoon and camping out under the stars as they kiss.

Gwen sits at home with her tablet, reading the Spectator article about Xander getting off free despite the drug charges and the death of Dr. Snyder. The article alleges that Xander paid EJ to pull some strings and the citizens must fight this abuse of power to put Xander behind bars. Gwen remarks that Xander is being publicly crucified for something he didn’t even do. Gwen knows they promised not to see each other, but she pulls out her phone. Jack then walks in and asks if everything is okay. Gwen informs him that she just read the hatchet job he did on Xander and asks how could he.

Xander wakes up in bed and thinks back to kissing Gwen until he’s interrupted by a knock at the door. Xander gets up hoping that Gwen is back but it’s EJ. EJ shows him the article and says it’s a complete hatchet job but he thought Jack was his friend. Xander says not anymore. EJ informs Xander that he came to collect his million dollars.

Steve gets dressed for the wedding while Kayla is on the couch, not feeling well. Steve remarks that it must have been some bachelorette party. Kayla asks what she was thinking by letting Bonnie talk her in to doing shots when she should’ve been smart like he and Justin. Steve says they just had a couple beers and smoked cigars. Kayla says she would’ve rather done that than throw vodka down her throat. Steve points out that last night, she said she had a great time. Kayla says last night she was feeling no pain, but doesn’t think she could say the same about Bonnie. Kayla mentions that Bonnie wasn’t bubbling over with excitement as there was definitely something bothering her.

Justin and Bonnie are in bed together. Justin says he told her that she didn’t have to worry about the bad luck of the bride and groom not seeing each other on their wedding day, because they spent the night together and are waking up together but nothing bad has happened. Calista then walks in and declares there is not going to be a wedding, unless Justin wants to marry a murderer.

Gwen can’t believe Jack would write that about Xander as she thought he was his friend. Jack argues that Xander is the one who ruined their friendship. Gwen questions him slamming him and destroying his reputation. Jack calls him a career criminal. Gwen feels he should’ve handled this privately. Jack says it’s his job to expose corruption and Xander is as corrupt as they come. Jack adds that he teamed up with Dr. Snyder to push pills on the street and then he dumped his partner’s body. Jack argues that Gwen could’ve ended up dead or in jail but Xander hired EJ to use his influence to make it all go away. Gwen thinks Jack could’ve hired a reporter to tell the story so that they would’ve all just moved on and forgotten about it, but Jack had to scream on the editorial page, so now everyone thinks Xander is a monster and he doesn’t deserve this. Jack shouts that Xander risked her life and questions why the hell she is defending him.

EJ tells Xander that he could sue Jack for libel, but he’s not doing him any more legal favors until he gets his money back. EJ orders him to hand it over. Xander reminds him that he will, after he gets his job back at Basic Black. EJ assures that he will have his contract today, but warns that he better not have one penny missing. Xander says the money will be there so EJ says he’ll be back and exits.

Bonnie’s nightmare continues of Calista revealing to Justin that Bonnie murdered Calista’s husband and then Justin calling the wedding off. Bonnie then wakes up in a panic. Justin asks her what’s going on and what’s wrong. Bonnie tells him it was horrible as someone showed up out of nowhere and ruined their wedding. Justin tells her it was just a bad dream and everything is going to be fine as he hugs her. Justin hugs her until Calista walks in and declares that she has something for Bonnie, just like in her dream.

Ben pulls out the book of poems that Shawn gave them. Ciara calls it a lovely wedding gift. Ben says he was going through it and found a Shakespeare sonnet that hit home for him, reminding him of where he was in his life before he met her and where he is now because of her.

Kayla declares that she’s never drinking vodka again. Steve asks how Bonnie must be feeling since he’s sure she knocked back her share too. Kayla says she tried to warn her that she wouldn’t want a hangover on her wedding day but she wouldn’t listen as there was definitely something bothering her and she was determined to get smashed. Steve asks if she thinks Bonnie is getting cold feet. Kayla is sure she can’t wait to marry Justin. Kayla says something is bothering her, but all she would say is that it had to do with Calista Lockhart. Steve questions who the hell that is.

Calista informs Bonnie that she has a present for her. Bonnie says she doesn’t need any presents but Calista calls it the perfect thing for her wedding. Calista reveals it belongs to her late husband, Harrison Lord. Bonnie says she doesn’t need any presents and thinks she should keep it. Justin says they have a big day ahead of them so he’s going to start getting ready. Justin kisses Bonnie and says he will meet her downstairs for breakfast. After Justin exits, Calista asks Bonnie where her money is. Bonnie responds that she doesn’t have it. Calista questions why the hell not, since she told her to get it from Xander at the Salem Inn since he’s sitting on a million dollars which is exactly what she owes her.

Xander opens his briefcase of a million dollars and declares that EJ better come through with that contract, or he’s not getting a damn dime.

EJ goes to the Basic Black office where Nicole informs him that she read Jack’s article and he didn’t paint EJ in a very flattering light. EJ responds that he’s not worried about that in the least. EJ says it’s better to be feared than respected. EJ informs Nicole that he’s come to discuss a personnel matter as he would like her to give Xander his job back. Nicole tells him that will happen over her dead body. EJ reminds her that he’s the co-CEO of the company and he’s telling her to hire Xander back. Nicole asks if Chad signed off on this. EJ says to forget Chad, as she answers to him. EJ presents Nicole the contract and orders her to sign it, but Nicole says no. Nicole knows EJ has been out of the game but reminds him of the terms of her contract, because it includes a provision that states the executives in charge of Basic Black have full autonomy over all personnel decisions. Nicole is confident that she can speak for Brady when she says there is no way in hell that they are hiring Xander.

Jack questions why Gwen would hire Xander after what he did to her. Gwen thinks back to Xander covering for her. Gwen tells Jack that she already explained that she sympathizes with Xander, because she knows what it’s like to be in his situation. Jack questions it being okay to drag Gwen in to his criminal enterprise because he’s broke, putting everyone under this roof in danger. Jack asks how she can excuse that. Gwen says she just understands it. Jack complains that he doesn’t. Gwen asks what he wants from her. Jack wants the truth about her and Xander.

Kayla informs Steve that Calista is Bonnie’s sister in law. Steve notes that he’s never heard of her. Kayla doesn’t think they have seen each other for a long time, then Calista showed up out of the blue so Bonnie got carried away and invited her to the wedding. Kayla adds that Calista’s husband was named Harrison Lord. Steve jokes about the similarities in names between Calista Flockhart and Harrison Ford. Kayla thinks that Bonnie said Harrison is dead. Steve asks what Calista is like but Kayla says she wasn’t there last night. Steve questions Calista coming all the way to Salem for the wedding, but not going to the bachelorette party. Kayla thinks there is some kind of bad blood between them. Steve suggests maybe that’s why Bonnie was so nervous last night. Kayla felt like Bonnie was dying to say it but never did. Kayla says Bonnie would just clam up and order another drink. Steve wonders what that was about.

Calista reminds Bonnie that she saw Xander walk in to the Salem Inn, carrying a briefcase with a million dollars, and asks why she didn’t steal it. Bonnie says she couldn’t as she can’t risk going back to prison. Calista remarks that Justin doesn’t know the real person he’s marrying. Bonnie assures that he knows all about her past and believes she has changed, so now they are in love. Bonnie screams that it’s her wedding day and has a lot on her mind so she asks if she can pay her later. Calista declares that she screwed her once so she’s not going to let it happen again. Calista warns that she only has a couple hours or else she will show Justin the gun and her love story will be over.

Ciara reads the poem that Ben shows her. Ben relates to being an outcast and alone when he first met her. Ciara has Ben continue reading it. Ben says it’s exactly how he feels about her, because when they are together, he wouldn’t trade places with anybody in the world. Ciara feels the same as they kiss.

Nicole questions why EJ would want to hire Xander when he’s a nightmare to work with. Nicole says if she goes along with this, EJ will live to regret it. EJ questions regretting getting his money back as he reveals that Sami paid Xander a million dollars to expose her. Nicole complains that she knew it even when he wouldn’t admit it before. EJ says the point is, there’s no way he’s letting either of them get away with it. Nicole says to leave her out of it. EJ explains that Xander won’t give him his money back unless he gets him his job back. Nicole repeats that she won’t work with him. EJ says that Xander was paid a small fortune to do what he did and asks if she’s okay with that. Nicole asks how EJ would feel if she told him to hire Lucas. EJ calls it not the same but Nicole feels it’s similar. Nicole declares that she won’t work with the person who destroyed her marriage. EJ argues that they all have to put up with colleagues they don’t like. Nicole says she doesn’t dislike Xander, she hates him with every fiber of her being as he is a living and breathing reminder of the worst mistake of her life. Nicole says she’s not going to work with him and asks if EJ really needs the money. EJ calls it a principle as he can’t let Sami win. Nicole responds that she can’t let Xander win. EJ tells her to suit herself, but warns that if she doesn’t sign the contract, she’s fired.

Justin joins Calista in the living room. Calista says Bonnie said to make herself at home and calls it a fabulous home. Justin is surprised that Calista is here when Bonnie has never even mentioned her before. Calista says they haven’t been in contact since her husband died, but she wouldn’t miss Bonnie’s wedding for the world. Justin asks where Bonnie is anyways since they were supposed to have breakfast together. Calista informs him that she just left and said she had an important errand to run.

Bonnie goes to Xander’s room at the Salem Inn and claims she came to invite him to her and Justin’s wedding. Xander finds that a little weird even for her. Bonnie tells him to just say yes but Xander says not until he figures out what’s really going on. Xander asks what he’s missing.

Gwen tells Jack that the truth is, Xander is not the terrible person that he thinks he is. Gwen reminds him that Jack told her to give him a chance. Jack says that’s before he turned her in to his drug mule. Gwen argues that he can’t just write Xander off. Gwen reminds Jack of all the terrible things she did to him and his family, but he forgave her. Jack argues that Gwen is his daughter and she’s proved that she’s changed while Xander is the same selfish, deceitful liar he’s always been. Gwen says that’s not true. Jack continues to question how she can feel sorry for him. Gwen relates to feeling like she had no choice. Jack says if he was in that much trouble, he could’ve come to him but he didn’t and now he’s compounded his deceit by manipulating the justice system and he can’t stand for that. Gwen asks what more he can do. Jack says the article was just the beginning as he knows there’s a lot more to the story. Jack hopes they can get the charges reinstated against Xander and he can go to prison where he belongs. Gwen pleads with him not to, saying she doesn’t want him to cross paths with the DiMeras because they are ruthless. Jack says Chad’s his son in law and shouts that he’s not afraid of EJ. Jack declares that Xander is guilty as sin and he needs to pay. Gwen stops him and tells Jack that he’s wrong because Xander is not guilty, she is the one who is guilty.

Ben tells Ciara that being together like this is more amazing because she’s his wife again. Ciara agrees so Ben suggests they stay like this forever. Ciara is really excited to show him New Orleans. Ciara says last time she was there, she was a kid, but even then she knew it was an amazing place. Ciara talking about it makes Ben want to get there. Ciara wants to make breakfast first as they kiss.

Nicole tells EJ that this is the second time he has threatened to fire her since being back. EJ says he was riled up the first time, but he’s calm now. EJ says he doesn’t want to fire her because she is good at what she does. Nicole asks how she can be good at what she does if she’s working with someone she hates. EJ calls hatred a powerful motivator. EJ suggests she use it to make Xander’s life a living hell since Brady and Chloe will side with her. EJ bets that Nicole could get Xander to quit by the end of the year. EJ tells Nicole to just sign the contract.

Kayla complains that her head is still pounding. Steve asks if she’s sure she’ll be okay for the wedding and suggests she call in sick. Kayla says she couldn’t do that to Bonnie and that she’s coming over soon to get ready. Steve decides he should get to the Kiriakis Mansion to see if Justin has any last minute requests for his best dude. Steve kisses Kayla and she says she’ll see him in a bit.

Justin asks if Calista is upset about something. Calista doesn’t want to be a downer on his wedding day but says it’s so hard to be happy for other people who were just skirting their lives together. Justin mentions losing his wife. Calista says she’s sorry. Justin asks about Calista’s husband, Harrison. Calista says he was taken from her far too soon, murdered for his money, leaving her a widow and they got away with it. Justin remembers her mentioning that. Calista thinks a criminal like that should be brought to justice.

Bonnie tells Xander that she was just on her way to Kayla’s and decided to pop by here first. Xander asks if she ran this by Justin. Bonnie insists that Justin would want him there since he’s his cousin, so she suggests he just get in the shower and get to the house. Bonnie says she won’t take no for an answer. Xander actually feels awkward. Bonnie feels he’ll be the life of the party. Xander then agrees to be there. Bonnie says she will see him soon then and steals Xander’s key card on her way out the door. Xander then heads to the shower.

Gwen tells Jack that she’s the one who is guilty. Gwen reveals that Xander lied when he said he was the one delivering drugs for Dr. Snyder and that he brought her in. Gwen says that Xander just did that to cover for her. Jack goes over Xander saying that Snyder was his business partner. Gwen insists it’s not true as they never worked together, it was Snyder and her, so she was the one delivering drugs. Gwen says she wanted to stop but he wouldn’t let her and one day she was completely fed up, so he showed up with a package and she told him to find somebody else to do his dirty work then Xander walked in and started defending her. Gwen explains that Xander was trying to get her out of this horrible mess that she had gotten in to, and then Dr. Snyder just dropped dead right in front of them. Gwen says that’s when things got really complicated, so she is not an innocent victim in this, but the one who got Xander in to this whole mess. Gwen tells Jack that she’s so sorry and that he must think she’s a terrible person. Jack responds that he’s confused and asks why she would agree to run drugs for Dr. Snyder in the first place. Jack thinks she’s just trying to get him to write a retraction and refuses to do it. Jack doesn’t get the 180 she has done on Xander and argues that for the longest time, they couldn’t stand each other. Jack then stops and remembers Julie walking in on them on the couch, which Gwen said was a momentary lapse of judgment. Gwen says they aren’t talking about that and that’s beside the point, but Julie is right that Xander did lie to him. Gwen explains that Xander didn’t want Jack to know that she was running drugs so he wouldn’t think less of her. Gwen states that Xander was trying to protect her relationship with Jack. Gwen declares that Xander lied, so she wouldn’t have to tell the truth. Jack asks what it is the truth and questions why she would agree to run drugs for Dr. Snyder. Gwen says he forced her to by blackmailing her. Jack asks what he was holding over her.

Calista tells Justin that they are talking grand larceny and murder and that person should pay. Justin thinks anyone proven guilty in a court of law should pay. Calista complains that they didn’t and it makes her blood boil. Justin encourages that in time, the anger and pain will be less acute and she’ll be less about the past and more hopeful about the future. Calista agrees to drink to that. Justin notices Bonnie’s makeup bag and suggests Calista bring it to her, so she can meet the matron of honor, Kayla. Calista says she’s had a couple drinks and is tired from her trip so she shouldn’t drive. Justin agrees and decides to take care of it himself and exits.

Bonnie sneaks back in to Xander’s room using the stolen key card while he is in the shower. Bonnie opens up Xander’s briefcase and steals the one million dollars, stuffing all of the money in to her purse. EJ then shows up at the door, knocking and calling for Xander to open up.

Ben and Ciara eat breakfast together outside. Ciara looks her bag and realizes that she is out of birth control pills. Ben is sure there is a pharmacy in between here and New Orleans, so they can just have her doctor call in a prescription. Ciara then says or not. Ben is not sure what that means. Ciara asks what if she didn’t refill her prescription. Ben asks if she’s saying she wants to use a different kind of birth control. Ciara clarifies that maybe they shouldn’t worry about that. Ciara asks Ben what if they have a baby.

Steve goes to the Kiriakis Mansion looking for Justin but Calista informs him that Justin is not there. Calista tells Steve that it looks like it’s just them.

Justin goes to Kayla’s. Kayla asks if everything is okay. Justin says he just came by to bring Bonnie her makeup bag but Kayla reveals that Bonnie is not here.

EJ continues knocking on Xander’s door, asking if he’s in there. Xander shouts out from the shower to hold his horses as he’s coming, leaving Bonnie trapped inside trying to steal the money.

Y&R Update, Friday September 3 2021

Young & The Restless Update

Y&R logo

Recap written by Christine

The party continued at The Grand Phoenix. Nick had just witnessed Jack drying Phyllis with a handkerchief. He looked at Phyllis, with her wet hair and makeup running down her face, and asked what was going on. Phyllis excused herself to prepare for the presentation. Nick turned to Jack, who’d been standing with them, and asked what happened.

Phyllis gave her team instructions through the headset. Victor approached and brought up the spectacle she made with Sally. Phyllis noted that Sally threw a drink in her face. He asked Phyllis to kindly refrain from any other antics. She couldn’t be responsible for who Adam escorted here. She said Sally was trouble. Victor told Phyllis to behave. He didn’t want to regret having his party here. She thought he should regret hiring Sally. He noted that Phyllis threw ice water on Sally. He enjoyed the spectacle, and he said to let him deal with Sally. Phyllis thought he should deal with Adam too because Sally and Adam were a match made in hell.

Elena returned to Nate after her patient was stabilized.

Lily asked Billy if he was going to let Nick stop him from getting the scoop before the launch. Billy thought they should launch themselves out of this dud of a party. He didn’t find anything during his snooping, and it made him wonder if this launch was all smoke and mirrors. She thought that he wanted to leave because he was bummed out by all the positive buzz Newman Media was getting. She said they could still try and outmaneuver Newman Media. He was nauseated by watching everyone from Newman Media pat each other on the back. He was dying of boredom, and he wanted to go to Society. she said if he died of boredom he couldn’t participate in what she had planned later.

Adam and Sally shared a passionate kiss in the suite. He asked where that came from. She thought, instead of questioning it, they should follow their impulse and see where this lead. He told her it’d be a massively bad idea. She tried to entice him into another kiss and asked if it would actually be a good idea. He admitted it was both, but the bad outweighed the good. She asked if it was because he was her boss. He said that was another good reason they shouldn’t do this. His main reason for putting on the brakes was that he was toxic. She suggested he was exaggerating, but he was serious. He felt attracted to her, but whenever he acted on that impulse with people, he left a wake of destruction behind. She strongly disagreed that this would be a mistake, but since this was an important night for him, she wouldn’t argue. She admitted that her own romantic track record was toxic too. He was clear that this was not a reflection on her. She thought it was a shame, because it could’ve been pretty spectacular. He said that this way it could stay spectacular in their imaginations.

Downstairs, Jack told Nick that Phyllis and Sally should be kept apart for the rest of the night, or the rest of their lives. Nick was no fan of Sally’s. Jack couldn’t defend her either. They saw Sally and Adam return, and Sally went out to get fresh air. Across the room, Nick said he was trying to make sense out of that pair. Jack didn’t question it – to each their own.

Nikki congratulated Nate on his promotion. Elena proudly said that he’d be a brilliant chief of surgery. She mentioned his idea to expand the hospital’s surgical wing. Nikki was all for that happening. She said she still had her granddaughter because of that surgical department. As Victor walked up, Nate mentioned that Elena was the new face of AskMDNow. Victor was disappointed because Adam was planning to ask Elena to be the chief medical journalist at Newman Media. Victor said that if Elena hadn’t signed a contract with ChancComm, she could jump ship for a far more successful media company. Elena was flattered, but while she didn’t sign the contract, she gave ChancComm her word, and she wouldn’t go back on that. Victor admired the loyalty. Nikki and Victor went off to mingle. Nate was impressed. Not many people had the guts to turn Victor Newman down flat. Elena said she wasn’t going to abandon Lily and go to a competitor – what kind of person did that? She felt good about being wanted though. He said he wanted her too.

Victor told Adam that his girlfriend, or date almost ruined tonight’s festivities. Adam said it was under control. Media companies thrived on headlines, even when they created some scandalous ones. Victor wanted headlines about the successful debut of the company. Adam promised they’d come out like champions. Victor stated that it was Adam’s night. Adam asked everyone to join him in the ballroom to witness the rise of the next generation of media companies. Victor looked at Billy. Everyone but Billy and Lily followed Adam. She said she’d go, because she understood he wanted to skip this part. She left, and he ordered a scotch.

Phyllis was in the lounge making sure things went smoothly in the ballroom. Nick came up. He said Jack had her back and wouldn’t say much. He still wanted to know what happened. Phyllis admitted she may have provoked things by telling Sally that she wasn’t welcome and that she should leave town. Which might have provoked Sally into throwing a drink, which lead Phyllis to empty an ice bucket over Sally’s head. Phyllis claimed she regretted her actions, but when Nick asked if she really did, she admitted she felt awesome about drenching Sally in ice water. He asked how Jack got involved. Phyllis said Sally was coming at her, so Phyllis lunged for Sally, but Jack and Adam held them back. Nick understood Phyllis’s animosity toward Sally, but he thought she should let it go because Sally wasn’t going anywhere. He was as angry as Phyllis was at what Sally did to Summer, but it didn’t do any good to keep kicking the hornet’s nest. Phyllis conceded that was a good point.

Phyllis gestured toward Billy at the bar and said that was a sad sight. Since Nick had promised Victor he’d keep an eye on Billy, he guessed that was his cue. Phyllis was sorry if she embarrassed Nick. She’d try and move on. He told her to try and stay dry the rest of the night. She got back to work, and Nick went up and asked what Billy was doing. Billy didn’t want to hear Adam droning on about how successful Newman Media was going to be. While Billy wasn’t looking, Nick put some cherries in his drink and walked away. Billy grabbed his glass to take the last sip, but changed his mind when he saw the cherries.

In the ballroom, Victor announced that they were starting a whole new enterprise. He introduced the CEO of Newman Media, his son, Adam. After a round of applause, Adam took the stage. Adam said Newman Media was going to be successful due to the power and strength of family. Victor tried to teach him that for years, and it finally sunk in. They’d be doing charitable work with his brother’s New Hope organization. One day, he hoped to bring his son into the business. They had a lot of new and exciting outlets and platforms in store. Newman Media was coming out swinging, Adam said, as Victor proudly watched from the sidelines.

Later, Elena and Lily went to the lounge. Lily hated to admit it, but Adam put on a surprisingly good speech. Elena wondered if he’d turned the corner. Elena mentioned Devon and Amanda were supposed to be at the party. Lily said they decided not to come because Amanda was leaving in the morning for a trip with her mom and sister. Elena said Devon had been so heroic in Chance’s absence and he’d gone above and beyond to save Mariah and deliver Dominic.

Elena went to Nate, and Billy joined Lily. She told him that Adam and Victor didn’t mention the competition, ChancComm included. She said Adam made it clear he was planning to expand Newman Media. She swore he glanced her way when he said that. Billy said that if Adam came after them, they’d do everything they could to protect their assets. She sensed that Victor wasn’t pleased when Adam mentioned adding on more entities. That excited Billy, because he knew Victor wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to go after ChancComm, so that must mean Adam and Victor weren’t on the same page.

Billy went to Adam and Victor and congratulated them on Newman Media getting through the night nearly scandal-free. “Who asked you to come over here and talk to us? By the way you look like three sheets to the wind,” Victor said. Adam thought everyone would agree that the launch was a grand slam, but Billy said they’d see what happened tomorrow when it was time to actually run the company. Billy said ChancComm was ready for whatever Newman Media had planned. Adam suggested that Billy was paranoid. Billy said he wasn’t paranoid; he didn’t trust Victor. He suggested they talk with Phyllis to schedule their going out of business party. Victor told Billy he’d always be a pain in the ass and wished him a nice evening. The Newmans walked away, and Lily joined Billy to ask what happened. He said he went to congratulate them, and it turned into posturing. He was ready for the after party. She’d rented them a suite since Victoria had the kids tonight. She thought it felt sentimental being back here. She’d rented his old suite because that was where they’d first made love. They went upstairs.

Phyllis asked Jack what he thought. He’d never sing Victor’s praises, but he was happy for Adam and wanted him to thrive. Jack also thought all of Phyllis’s hard work really showed. She hoped the rest of the night overshadowed the dust up earlier, and she thanked him for not letting it go any further. He joked that he couldn’t bear the idea of losing more champagne, but she said it would’ve been worth it. Across the room, Nick watched Phyllis and Jack laughing.

Phyllis and Nick went up to her room. She wondered why she took the bait and let that little girl get to her. The last thing she needed was another scandal at her hotel. He didn’t think she should blame herself. Sally was a button pusher. He thought she should be proud of herself for not letting t things get too out of control. She asked if he was still going to pamper her, and he said yes, as soon as she lost the headset. She pretended she was talking with security and told Nick that they wanted him to take off his tie and jacket. Once he did, they kissed.

Jack went home and poured a drink. He pulled out the handkerchief that he’d used to dry Phyllis off after her encounter with Sally. He smiled while holding the handkerchief, then he looked concerned.

At their home, Nikki congratulated Victor on a successful launch. He thought so too, but he was still troubled by Adam flirting with whatever her name was. Nikki said it was Sally Spectra, who couldn’t be trusted after what she did to Summer. Nikki said they’d have to keep an eye on her. They both enjoyed Phyllis pouring ice water on Sally.

Nate walked Elena into Crimson Lights. He teased that Victor only invited him as the plus one of the hot new talent. She couldn’t believe she was so in demand. He was glad he wasn’t the only one who saw how amazing and special she was. She thought it was cool that Nikki offered to help him fund raise for the hospital expansion. She said they were on a lucky streak, and she didn’t want to jinx it. He didn’t think they could. She invited him upstairs. She had tomorrow off, so she could sleep in. he liked the sound of that, and he said he could change his schedule tomorrow.

Adam and Sally were at Society. She thanked him for being so understanding about what happened with Phyllis. She said Victor didn’t seem too pleased. He told her not to worry about his dad, who had bigger fish to flatten. He asked what she thought about the speeches. She said he was a born leader, and he’d proven himself quite the visionary. She had to get home, and she said, despite his warning, she’d probably dream about what might’ve been between them tonight. He watched her leave.

Tessa was playing her guitar in the Chancellor living room when Abby walked in wanting to talk about Mariah. She was worried Mariah would have lasting emotional scars from being held against her will. Tessa was concerned too, but Mariah was resilient enough to get through this -they just had to support her. Abby asked if Mariah had opened up to Tessa. Tessa planned to talk to Sharon about Mariah getting treatment, but Tessa hoped Mariah just needed some time. Abby was going to go see Dominic. Tessa wanted to come along so she could be there when Mariah woke up. She had a surprise for Abby – a lullaby for the baby. Abby was excited to hear it now. Tessa said it needed fine tuning, but she played it.

“My baby needs to live!,” Mariah screamed as she woke up from her nightmare in the hospital. A nurse came and said it was time for Dominic’s feeding. Mariah had already pumped milk, but she asked if it would be okay for her to feed him. The nurse brought the baby in. Tessa’s song played over a scene with Mariah taking the baby into her arms and lovingly feeding him. The song was about waiting all your life to meet a baby and a promise to keep them safe. Back at the house, the song brought tears to Abby’s eyes.

Mariah told the baby that she probably wouldn’t have made it out of there if it weren’t for him. She’d never forget that he’d kept her sane. It felt so different holding him in her arms than it did when he was inside her. She couldn’t believe how natural it felt. She shared a secret with the baby. “I wish I could breastfeed you. But I can’t. It’s in the contract I signed. Don’t worry, okay. That’s my milk. That’s my milk that you’re eating right now,” she said. She promised it would make him strong and healthy. “My sweet precious little Bowie.” Just after this, Tessa and Abby walked in and stopped short when they saw Mariah feeding the baby. Mariah apologized to Abby and said he was hungry. Abby said it was okay if he needed to be fed. Abby wanted to finish the feeding, but Mariah held up an empty bottle. Tessa mentioned that Abby liked the lullaby. Abby said she’d burp the baby, and Mariah handed him over, but she looked uncomfortable with Abby cooing over him and calling him her little Dominic. Mariah looked at Tessa with a strained smile.

Update written by Joseph

John and Marlena sit together at home. John comments on the hectic last few days with Ben and Ciara’s wedding then Claire moving to South Africa. John says he’s looking forward to Labor Day weekend to relax. Marlena informs him that she cleared her entire schedule through Tuesday. They kiss until John’s phone rings with a call from Shane Donovan. John wonders what Shane wants as he answers the call.

Jake and Gabi wake up in bed together. Jake kisses her until Gabi reminds him that it’s his first day of work at Titan. Jake talks about having sex on Philip’s desk while Gabi notes that they have things to do like world domination. Gabi opens up her tablet and sees that Jake made the front page with his move from DiMera to Titan. Jake hopes that his brothers are reading it and choking.

Tony enters the living room of the DiMera Mansion where Chad shows him the article on Jake. Tony assures that they have nothing to worry about. Tony mentions that he’s supposed to meet Anna for breakfast but he can’t find her. Chad reveals that Anna took off about 15 minutes ago like a bat out of Hell. Tony calls that strange and wonders where she went.

Anna goes to the Brady Pub and tells Roman that life as they know it could change forever as they have an emergency on their hands and they have to do something about it right now.

Eli wakes up and questions Lani setting his alarm, complaining that he had a late shift and doesn’t have to be up for a few more hours. Lani reminds him that they are having breakfast at Paulina’s. Eli admits that he forgot.

Paulina is at home on the phone with Tamara, assuring that she knows what their mom wants and she drummed it in her head while she was there. Paulina says everything will be fine as she’s back in everybody’s good graces. Paulina promises Tamara that Abe will not find out that Lani is her daughter or that he’s not really her father, because if he does, she will surely lose him and she won’t let that happen. Abe then enters the room as Paulina hangs up and asks what that was all about.

Eli wants to cancel their breakfast plans but Lani points out that Paulina is so excited about them starting the day together. Lani says Paulina wants to make up for everything that happened. Eli notes they already forgave her. Lani feels that Paulina has to go big to prove herself and this is how she does it. Lani tells Eli that there is no chance they can get out of this because Paulina and Abe are counting on them.

Abe informs Paulina that he heard her say something like she would surely lose him and can’t let that happen. Paulina claims that she was telling her sister that she had to cancel twice with her hairdresser and if she cancels again, he’ll probably drop her as a client. Paulina then informs Abe that she hired a new chef from Chicago to cook for them all but he texted her that he sprained his ankle and can’t make it. Paulina says she wanted their gathering to be perfect but it looks like they either have to postpone or order from a nearby diner. Abe thinks between the two them, they can cook a fabulous brunch. Paulina admits that would cheer her up. Abe says her smile cheers him up as he kisses her.

Gabi tells Jake that first they will steal Titan from underneath Philip and then use Titan to crush DiMera. Gabi notes that they didn’t find anything in Philip’s office to use but she has plenty of ideas and ways to sabotage him. Jake talks about wanting this as well after the way Tony, Chad, and EJ gloated over voting them out as CEO, so he can’t wait to rip their empire out from under them. Gabi complains about the DiMeras being so full of themselves but says they won’t see them coming.

Tony calls Anna and leaves a message, saying he was looking forward to their breakfast and to call him when she gets this. Tony supposes a little mystery is always good for a marriage. Chad remarks that at least his wife is in the same city. Tony questions him not hearing from Abigail. Chad says he promised to give her time and space to figure things out. Tony insists that she will come back to him. Chad admits he doesn’t deserve it, but he hopes she does. Chad guesses he can’t have the traditional Labor Day picnic with Thomas and Charlotte since Jack decided to take the kids to the lake. Tony asks about him being alone. Chad says he has plenty of work to keep him busy. Tony feels the only thing on his mind will be Abigail. Chad mentions that Jack said he would talk to Abigail about him this weekend, to find out if she’s planning on ever coming home.

Roman asks Anna if he can have coffee before they take on the world. Anna says they have no time to waste because their daughter needs them. Roman asks what’s wrong with Carrie. Anna says she’s fine physically, but emotionally she’s a total wreck as her marriage is flatlining. Roman argues that he saw Carrie and Austin in February and everything was fine. Anna says it’s not now, so Roman asks what happened. Anna informs him that Carrie called totally broken up and she could hardly speak, so all she could get was that Carrie and Austin had a terrible fight. Anna declares that they have to help their daughter, so they need to get to Zurich right now.

John tells Shane that he’s on it and will get back to him as he hangs up. Marlena asks what’s going on. John informs him that Shane wants Black Patch on a top secret case in Zurich as soon as possible. Marlena declares there goes their weekend.

Eli and Lani check on the twins and they are still sleeping. Eli comments that he can think of a bunch of things to do other than go to Paulina’s for breakfast but he knows she doesn’t want to upset Paulina or let Abe down. Lani says that since Abe and Paulina are back on track, she wants to show them that they support them 100%. Eli agrees to go to breakfast then.

Paulina tells Abe that she’s making her famous baked egg casserole. Abe wants to help so Paulina hands him an apron.

John calls Steve and tells him that he understands and to have fun at the wedding as he hangs up. Marlena guesses he lost his partner. John informs her that Steve is Justin’s best man and he didn’t realize today was the big day. John can’t believe Kayla and Steve are standing up after all the hell Bonnie caused Adrienne. Marlena guesses they saw how happy they were. John relates to knowing the power of love as he kisses Marlena.

Gabi tells Jake that she better get dressed so she can beat Philip to the office. Jake asks what if Philip is already there. Gabi says Jake can’t be late for his first day. Jake suggests a breakfast meeting and kisses her, talking about how hot she is talking about corporate takeovers. Gabi says they can’t get to any of that in bed. Jake calls it a team building exercise as they kiss back in to bed.

Tony knows how difficult things must be for Chad, but also how much he loves Abigail and how much Abigail loves him. Tony has every bit of confidence that Abigail will be back home soon and he just has to be patient. Chad responds that he’s not a patient man. Tony notes he doesn’t have a choice in this matter. Chad says every time he wakes up without Abigail, he wonders how to get through each day. Tony invites Chad to join him for breakfast. Chad appreciates the invite but says he has another meeting. Chad thanks Tony for listening. Tony encourages that it will work out with he and Abigail. Chad then exits the room. Tony continues to wonder where Anna is.

Roman tells Anna that he’s sorry that Carrie is upset, but questions why they need to go to Zurich. Anna argues that Carrie needs her parents. Roman asks if she said that. Anna says no but she can read between the lines. Roman tells her that they are not going to Zurich as Carrie and Austin are adults, who can work this out. Anna cries that if they don’t, she couldn’t live with herself if their daughter’s marriage implodes because they couldn’t get on a plane when she needs them the most. Roman points out that Carrie didn’t ask them to come. Anna wants to have a family meeting to make sure Austin takes care of Carrie. Anna insists that they should be getting on a plane and tells Roman to go pack. Roman tells her that it’s not going to happen as he’s not going to Zurich, and says she shouldn’t either.

Abe and Paulina finish cooking. She says she couldn’t have done it without him. Eli and Lani then arrive with the twins and greet Paulina and Abe. They each have a glass of orange juice as Abe toasts to second chances and new beginnings.

Gabi and Jake walk through the town square where they run in to Chad. Chad says he hears congratulations are in order about Jake’s new little job at Titan. Chad brings up being CEO of Titan before. Gabi says that was two seconds. Chad says it was brief but it’s not like he got his ass handed to him because he couldn’t handle the job. Gabi holds Jake back and tells Chad to go ahead and make fun, but it’s a mistake to underestimate Jake because he will be running Titan before he knows it.

John guesses he better call Shane back to tell him he’s flying solo on this one since Steve can’t make it. Marlena suggests that John take her to Zurich then.

Anna questions Roman not wanting to go to Zurich and asks if he cares about their daughter’s marriage. Roman argues that it’s none of their business since Carrie is an adult, it’s her marriage, and he doubts that she’d want her parents flying halfway around the world to interfere in her marriage. Anna insists that Carrie needs them. Roman advises Anna not to go to Zurich and stay home to let Carrie and Austin work out their problems on their own. Anna says that’s not the answer but Roman says it’s all he’s got. Anna declares that if Roman won’t help her, she’ll just have to do it herself as she walks out of the Pub.

Jake tells Gabi that they are done here and heading to the office. Chad tells him to have fun punching the clock for Philip. Gabi calls Chad a condescending jerk. Chad says he’s also the CEO of DiMera. Gabi asks if Abigail is still in Boston with her mom. Chad asks if Arianna is still in Arizona with her two dads. Gabi says she is for now, but she intends on having her come live with her. Chad mocks that going over well with Sonny and Will. Gabi insists they won’t have a problem. Chad asks if she’s sure about that. Gabi asks what he knows since she just spoke to Sonny yesterday and he said he hasn’t spoken to Chad in weeks, so some best friend he is.

John knows it might sound romantic to spend the last few days of summer in Zurich, but he reminds her that this is a work trip so he’ll spend his time on the case and it won’t be much fun for her. Marlena notes that she could keep him company on the flight and she could visit Austin and Carrie since she hasn’t seen Carrie in such a long time, so they’ll have a lot to catch up on. John is sure she would love that. Marlena adds that without his partner, John might need a little help on the case from her.

Lani tells Paulina that it was so nice of her to have them over. Paulina says they will do it more often as there’s no better way to start the day. Eli questions the smell so Paulina runs to the kitchen and cries that her casserole is ruined. Lani says it’s no big deal but Paulina says it is because she wanted to celebrate and she won’t do that with oatmeal. Paulina decides she’ll start all over since she has the ingredients. Abe says she doesn’t have to go through all of that. Eli says he has to get back to the police station. Lani questions if he can’t just go in late. Eli suggests they reschedule since he has Labor Day weekend off. Paulina suggests they instead have lunch in Miami over Labor Day weekend. Paulina says he’ll charter a jet to take them by the time they finish packing. Lani reminds Eli that she told him that Paulina likes to go big. Paulina won’t take no for an answer and talks about how fabulous it is in Miami. Paulina asks if Abe can tear himself away from Salem for a few days. Abe decides he can probably imagine it. Eli agrees that it sounds awesome, but he still has to get to work. Paulina suggests a personal day. Lani asks what about the kids. Paulina says to bring them as it’s the more, the merrier.

Chad admits it’s been awhile since he’s talked to Sonny. Gabi remarks that he’s too busy feeling sorry for himself because Abigail left. Chad admits he’s lonely for her but says she’ll be back. Gabi asks if he’s sure because he cheated on her with her sister, so the odds don’t sound great for him. Chad tells Gabi to go to Hell. Gabi then informs Chad that Sonny is making his company public. Chad says he’s very happy for him. Gabi suggests he let him know that. Chad tells her to mind her own business. Gabi says it is her business since Sonny and Will are caring for her daughter and they are extremely busy, so Arianna might have to come live with them since they are in position to give her a loving and stable home. Chad laughs at them having stability. Gabi argues that if Chad really cared so much about Sonny, he should call and congratulate him. Chad then walks away.

Anna goes home to the DiMera Mansion where Tony asks where she has been since he thought they were having breakfast together. Anna questions why everyone is so obsessed with breakfast, especially at a time like this. Anna complains about the end of Carrie and Austin’s marriage. Tony says he’s not following. Anna explains that she talked to Carrie and there was a big blowup with Austin and she was in tears, devastated. Anna says that whatever happened is Austin’s fault and Carrie needs the support of her parents. Tony asks if she spoke to Roman. Anna confirms that she told him they need to go to Zurich but Roman said no. Tony thinks that was the right answer because he doesn’t think they should be going to Zurich to fix a problem that is not their responsibility. Tony thinks she should let Austin and Carrie work it out themselves. Anna questions why he’s taking Roman’s side in this. Tony says he’s not but asks what happens if she goes to Zurich and it turns out it was just a little spat and they are already back together or if the problem continues and she only makes things worse. Anna declares that she would never forgive herself if she didn’t go. Anna cries that her daughter is in trouble, so she has to pack and he can enjoy his breakfast, lunch, and dinner without her. Anna adds that she has no idea when she’s coming back. Tony stops her and decides he is going too, so he will book their flight.

John questions Marlena wanting to go play spy with him in Zurich. Marlena points out that she’s helped him solve cases in the past and he’s said that she’s a good detective and that they are a terrific team. Marlena adds that in 2017, he went to Europe by herself and tracked down Stefano. John declares there is no one else he’d rather have on his side. John declares that it looks like they are going to Zurich as they hug.

Lani tells Paulina that it does sound amazing but the twins have never traveled before, so she doesn’t know how they will do and they should probably pass. Paulina brings up that Julie has been begging for quality time with the twins. Abe agrees that Julie and Doug would love this. Lani agrees. Paulina notes that Lani’s maternity leave is up and she has to go back to work next Tuesday, while they haven’t had any alone time since the twins were born. Paulina declares that Doug and Julie will get their chance with the babies while Lani and Eli will get their chance for a romantic weekend. Eli responds that she’s very hard to say no to. Lani then agrees to the trip to Miami.

Eli and Lani go home. Eli jokes that he’s not sure Julie will want to give the twins back when they get home. Lani jokes that the twins will be spoiled rotten. Eli says that’s what grandparents are for. Lani says she misses the twins already. Eli admits it is quiet but exclaims they are going to Miami and she will have his undivided attention the entire time. Lani reminds him that they are going with Paulina and she requires a lot of attention. Lani adds that she has plans for Eli too since it’s the first time that he has been to her hometown. Lani can’t wait to show her all the places she went to as a kid. Lani mentions a bikini that she’s been waiting to wear all summer. Eli can’t wait to see her in it and out of it as they kiss.

Paulina finishes a call with Chanel and tells Abe that Chanel can’t go with them as she is too busy preparing for the opening of her bakery next week. Paulina tells Abe that he should finish packing since the jet is going in an hour. Abe says he doesn’t want to miss the jet. Paulina questions if he’s not excited about this weekend. Abe admits that it’s very extravagant and impulsive. Paulina exclaims that she’s happier than she’s ever been since Abe and Lani have forgiven him. Abe agrees that it’s cause for a celebration then. Paulina wants to show Abe where she grew up and why she loves Miami. Paulina can’t wait to see it all through his eyes. Abe decides he wouldn’t miss it for anything in the world as she kisses him.

Jake and Gabi walk back through the town square. Jake thinks she was a little hard on Chad. Gabi feels he deserved it and calls him a pompous ass. Jake compares him to Philip. Gabi says they will win because they know what it means to work their tails off and never lose sight of the prize. Gabi declares that no one is going to stop them.

Chad goes to the Brady Pub and greets Roman, who notes that he hasn’t seen him in awhile. Chad hoped Roman could help him with something, as he wants to take a weekend trip to Phoenix. Chad asks if he’s talked to Will lately. Roman says he did the other day and Will said that he and Sonny were missing family and friends, so he thinks a visit from Chad would be just what they need. Chad says it’s a plan. Roman wants photos, especially of Arianna. Chad agrees to that and says it was good to see him. Chad then pulls out his phone and calls Sonny. Chad says he knows it’s been awhile and he’s sorry about that, but he heard the great news about the IPO. Chad says he was thinking of coming out to congratulate him in person for the weekend if he’s not too busy. Sonny says he doesn’t mind so Chad decides to have the DiMera jet fired up and says he’ll be there in no time.

Anna questions Tony going with her. Tony says she is his wife, so what’s important to her is important to him. Tony jokes that someone has to take care of her, so she doesn’t get into any kind of trouble. Anna says no one has ever taken such good care of her. Tony asks if he’s back in her good graces now despite not investing in Johnny’s movie. Tony points out that they have money, success, and freedom to travel whenever they please. Anna has a strong feeling that they are going to be very glad they did.

John and Marlena leave home and declare their next stop is Zurich, together, as it should be.

“Star Trek: Prodigy” TCA Panel

TV Interview!

TCA Interview for “Star Trek: Prodigy” on Paramount+ and Nickelodeon by Suzanne 8/31/21

I attended this panel for the TV Critics Association, but unfortunately, I did not get to ask a question. As a fan of “Star Trek,” I enjoyed watching the panel. However, they didn’t send me a transcript (as they usually do). Since they didn’t tell me ahead of time that I wouldn’t get a transcript, I didn’t record it, or even take notes, so I couldn’t write up my own article about it. I found bits and pieces online about the panel, written by some other journalists.

The panel was basically about introducing the show and its characters. They showed the opening sequence and talked a lot about the music for the show.  Katherine Janeway is a main character (voiced by Kate Mulgrew). Mulgrew is happy to be included in this new series. The show is aimed at kids, which is a first for the Star Trek franchise. It will be airing on Nickelodeon as well as Paramount+.

Jimmi Simpson (“Westworld”) voices an evil robot. John Noble (“Lord of the Rings”) voices another villain, named The Diviner. This is the first Star Trek series with no humans on the starship. Indeed, they’re all inexperienced because they take the ship to escape a hard life and journey out into the galaxy in it, learning as they go. It looks like a great show, whether it’s aimed at kids or not. They’re clearly putting a lot into this.

Young & The Restless Update

Y&R logo

Recap written by Christine

At The Grand Phoenix, Adam and Sally acknowledged that their entrance got everyone’s attention. She suggested they greet the coordinator, Phyllis, and he said to lead the way. Adam thanked Phyllis for the handling the festivities – it was a big night for Newman Media. Phyllis thanked Adam for the huge mound of cash he gave her to throw the party. She was glad about all the publicity it brought the hotel. Jack wished Adam success in his new venture, then he greeted Sally. Phyllis didn’t think success was in the cards for the couple. She noted that she’d just told Jack that Adam and Sally would destroy each other, so she told them to have fun while it lasted. Adam and Sally smiled, and Adam said they would. They walked away. Jack asked if that was necessary, and Phyllis said it was. Billy joined Phyllis and Jack, and commented that Adam and Sally’s entrance was obnoxious. Jack said there would be no trouble as long as everyone was on their best behavior. Phyllis and Billy both asked if Jack was talking to them. He said he was talking to both of them.

Across the room, Nikki wondered whose buttons Adam was trying to push by bringing Sally. Victor didn’t know Adam was bringing anyone, and Victor didn’t think he would’ve approved of this. Nikki informed Victor that Victoria and Ashland weren’t coming because he had a rough time after his second round of chemo. At this point, Adam brought Sally over and introduced her to Victor. Victor introduced Nikki, who crisply stated that she and Sally had met. Adam was sorry Ashland wasn’t well. Sally was pleased to be part of the Newman team. Adam predicted this would be an extraordinary night. Victor hoped so. He said it was nice meeting Sally.

Victor and Nikki were talking alone, and he said he didn’t know if Victoria would’ve come even if Ashland felt well. Nikki thought that was because Victoria was upset Victor was investigating Ashland. Victor said it was because Victoria and Adam had a contentious relationship. He was disappointed Victoria didn’t attend, because this party was an opportunity for her and Adam to put their differences aside. Nikki understood that Victor wanted that, but she wasn’t sure Adam and Victoria were interested in reconciling, and she couldn’t blame Victoria for that. Victor said Nikki couldn’t blame him for hoping. Nikki pointed out that he could breathe easy that Adam and Victoria wouldn’t clash tonight. Victor thought Billy might cause trouble. Jack made his way to Victor and Nikki and congratulated him on the successful launch. Jack then brought up his great nephew/Victor’s grandson, Dominic. Victor agreed that Abby’s baby was worth celebrating. Victor wanted Ben to be brought to justice, but he wouldn’t let that spoil the party. Jack couldn’t wait to see Newman Media’s presentation; he was sure Victor and Adam had something planned that would wow the media world. “You know we do,” Victor replied. He excused himself to the ballroom. Nikki asked if Billy had something up his sleeve. As far as Jack knew, there was nothing to worry about.


Nate was with Lily and Nick. He admitted he was surprised he and Elena were invited to a Newman Media event. Lily thought it was because Victor appreciated what Nate did for the family at the hospital. Nick said everyone was grateful for what Nate did for Faith after the accident and the kidney transplant. Nick mentioned Nate’s work at AskMDNow, and Nate revealed that he quit. Lily said Elena took the job, and Nick thought that was perfect. Nate hoped Elena made it back in time to celebrate tonight.

Adam and Sally were off by themselves. She was disappointed that Victoria wasn’t coming. She’d hoped to talk her way into designing Victoria’s wedding dress. Adam didn’t think that would happen, since Victoria wouldn’t forgive what Sally did to Summer. He said his sister held a grudge better than everyone in the family. Sally thought Adam underestimated her. Adam was glad Victoria wasn’t coming, given her distaste for him. He looked over at Billy and said he wasn’t worried about Billy or ChancComm. Sally was curious about the feud between them. Adam was surprised she didn’t know. She said she did read the hit job ChancComm did on him, so she knew a bit about the death of Billy and Chloe’s daughter. Adam said it was a devastating accident, and he handled it terribly. Sally asked how Adam and Chloe were able to be in the same building. While Adam didn’t think Chloe would ever trust him, she had let go of her hatred. He said Billy couldn’t let go of it – he was filled with pain and anger, and he always would be. Sally was sorry for everyone involved. Adam suggested he’d tell Sally more about it, but that was a story for another day. Tonight was about fun.

Chloe called and let Adam know she couldn’t come because Miles had a fever. Sally offered to get Adam an appetizer. He wasn’t interested, so she said she was going go try them all and report back to him. She walked off, and Billy sidled up and thanked Adam for the invite. He was interested in seeing what Adam had up his sleeve. Adam knew Billy wanted to undermine the launch and steal his thunder, but that wasn’t going to happen. He had a headline – “Newman Media launch Sets Records and leaves ChancComm in the Dust.” Billy thought that headline belonged in the wood chipper. Billy said ChancComm wasn’t going to let their guard down. Adam noted that they had a truce, so this was just fair competition. Billy knew for a fact that Victor was going to go after them with an underhanded attack, because that was the only way a startup like Newman Media could do any damage to ChancComm. Adam didn’t think they were a startup – Newman Media started as Cyaxares. Billy said that was built by Ashland Locke, but Adam wouldn’t be able to live up to that standard. Unless, of course, Adam had Papa Bear run things from behind the scenes. Adam accused Billy of projecting his own insecurities. Adam added that if Newman Media went after ChancComm, they’d never see it coming. Adam told Billy to help himself to the champagne, and he walked off.

Lily joined Billy and said she could see the gauntlet being thrown from across the room. She asked what the score was. He thought it was a tie. He couldn’t tell if Adam was playing it straight or if he was going after ChancComm. Lily thought they should hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Billy was sure that Victor wasn’t going to give up. Lily thought it might be a good thing that Victor and Adam weren’t on the same page – friction at Newman Media might give ChancComm an edge. Billy decided to snoop around and figure out what Newman Media was going to announce – maybe scoop the story before the launch. Lily wanted the edge too, but she asked what Billy was going to do. He wouldn’t say, and he headed to the elevator.

Adam joined Jack, who questioned Adam’s choice in a date. Adam said there was no hidden agenda, and he and Sally weren’t dating. Jack didn’t judge, and he didn’t hold a grudge against Sally. He suggested that Adam’s mission to be the best person he could be would rub off on her. Perhaps Adam would be able to unlock the potential in Sally that Jack had been unable to. Adam clarified that he wasn’t trying to be anyone’s redemption story. He was just focused on work and on making Newman Media the only communications company in town that mattered.

Phyllis had a bad feeling when she saw Billy getting on the elevator. She told Nick things between Billy and Adam were venomous tonight, to which Nick replied that it was always like that. Phyllis sensed Billy was going to do something to disrupt the party. Nick recalled Victor saying the same thing. Nick didn’t think Billy was up to anything, though. Phyllis didn’t want Billy and Adam to get into it. Nick promised he wouldn’t let that happen. He vowed to protect Phyllis and her hotel. She kissed him and called him her hero, and she promised to reward him later. He went to see what Billy was doing. Sally joined Phyllis and mentioned that she and Nick seemed cozy. Phyllis said their relationship was stronger than Sally’s weak attempts to undermine them. Sally noted that Phyllis was with Jack earlier, and she said at some point, Nick wouldn’t be able to ignore that. Phyllis called Sally a sad little girl who didn’t know anything about her relationship with Nick. She continued that Sally couldn’t take it in LA, and she left with her tail between her legs, then she alienated Jack and Lauren. “Even though you tell yourself ‘Oh, this time it’s gonna work out,’ it’s not,” Phyllis said. She predicted that Sally was going to be alone, lonely, cold and sad. Phyllis walked off. Nikki and Nate were standing nearby, and they overheard what Phyllis said. Nikki had a satisfied smirk on her face.

Later, Phyllis mingled with Nate and asked where his girl was. He told her that Elena got called into work. He mentioned that Elena had been excited about having an opportunity to dress up. Phyllis thought Nate needed to step up his date game. He quipped that he and Elena would stop settling from renting rooms at Phyllis’s hotel. Phyllis said she could set up a special suite if he called her in advance – rose petals on the bed etc. Phyllis asked what Nate and Elena were into. He said they connected over being doctors. They worked long hours and didn’t have much time for anything else. Phyllis joked about setting up a room for them full of medical textbooks. Laughing, he admitted that, when she put it that way, he and Elena sounded dull. Phyllis said playing doctor was kind of fun. She promised to put something together for them.

Upstairs, Billy spotted Crystal, the hotel manager, exiting the room Adam and Victor were storing things in for the announcement. He pretended Mr. Newman had sent him to retrieve something from the room, but he forgot his key. Crystal couldn’t let someone in there without Mr. Newman’s permission. Her boss was a stickler for these things. Billy said he and Phyllis went way back, and she wouldn’t mind at all. Time was of the essence, and he really needed to get this file and take it to Mr. Newman. He said if she wanted, she could go downstairs and interrupt the very important conversation that the Newmans were in. Crystal relented and let Billy into the room. Nick showed up and caught Billy logging onto a laptop. After a brief attempt to lie, Billy admitted he was spying. He didn’t think Nick should be upset, since they both despised Adam. Nick gave Adam a second chance after he saved Faith’s life. . Plus he wanted Newman Media to be successful because they were a major investor in New Hope. This night also meant a lot to Victor. He told Billy to stop doing what he was doing.

Back downstairs, Jack wondered where his brother was. Lily got his mind off it by asking him how his trip to Milan went.

Sally approached Nikki and tried to chit chat. Nikki replied with a smile and in a friendly tone that did not match her words. “After our last conversation, I don’t understand why you think I would be interested in anything you have to say,” Nikki stated. While Nikki had differences with Phyllis, she wished Phyllis had succeeded in driving Sally out of town. Phyllis appeared. Nikki said no one in the room wanted Sally here, besides Adam, who was likely using her because he knew she was nothing but trouble. “I highly doubt that he takes you seriously in any way. It was lovely talking to you,” Nikki said, then she walked away. Phyllis walked over to Sally and noted that Nikki didn’t mince words. Sally said she didn’t either, and if Phyllis stuck around, she’d hear plenty. Phyllis assumed Sally regretted coming. On the contrary, Sally was pleased to be here with her handsome date representing the company she worked for. Phyllis said Adam would tire of Sally and kick her to the curb. Sally asked if that was what happened to Phyllis. Phyllis said not at all. Phyllis stated that she and Sally weren’t the same. Sally was glad about that. Phyllis asserted that she was a respected businesswoman and Sally was the town pariah. “The Newmans and the Abbotts don’t want you here. Go home! Leave, Phyllis snarled. Sally told Phyllis to go to hell, and she threw a drink in her face, just as Adam walked up. Phyllis emptied an ice bucket over Sally’s head. Everyone else stared in shock. Phyllis and Sally were about to fight, but Jack grabbed Phyllis, and Adam restrained Sally. Sally protested that Phyllis started it. Phyllis said she’d end it. Adam pulled Sally out of the room, telling her not to let Phyllis bait her. They boarded one elevator as Nick and Billy exited another. Nick told Billy no more James Bond stuff. “We’ll see,” he replied. They were confused because they’d seen that Sally was all wet, and across the room, they saw Jack using his handkerchief to tab at Phyllis’s face. Lily eagerly gestured for Billy to join her. Laughing, she told him what just happened. She asked how his hunting expedition went, and he said Nick ran in and stopped him. Lily asked if Billy was really giving up or if that was just what he lead Nick to believe. Phyllis couldn’t believe she let Sally get to her. Jack said Sally had a talent for that. Nick came up and asked what he missed.

Adam took Sally to the room where Billy was earlier and got her a towel. He asked if she was okay, and she snapped that she was not. She was having a nice time until she was attacked by that low class spiteful hypocritical bully. “She kept coming at me, what was I supposed to do?,” he asked. He thought it seemed like a proportional response. He didn’t know how he’d top that moment, maybe he’d have to give his speech naked. She said that would get her attention. She was really sorry, but he said he thought the party needed to be livened up, and he liked her fire. She pulled him into a deep kiss.

Devon came to pick up Amanda for the party, but she’d forgotten all about it. Michael had called and said that he was reinstating the charges against Sutton. She said her grandfather was finally going to face a jury for the murder of her father. She was so grateful for this and for her improved relationship with Naya. She, Naya and Imani were going to take a short trip to bond as a family. With the trial on the horizon, she felt that the long painful journey had finally come to an end. Amanda noted that she and Devon had a lot of life-altering changes lately – he’d brought a new life into the world. He showed off pictures of Dominic, and she thought the baby was adorable. She looked up and took in the way Devon looked at the photos.

Amanda assumed Devon must be overwhelmed with emotion after everything that happened with Mariah, Abby and the baby. He said he was just glad things worked out for Abby and Chance. Amanda told Devon it was okay to admit it was more complicated than that. He changed the subject and said they had to get to the party, but she urged him to unburden himself to her. Devon knew that he’d get to play an integral role in Dominic’s life, so he didn’t understand why he was having these feelings. Amanda said Devon had a biological connection to the child, and that was a powerful bond. Devon felt that bond the second the baby came into the world, and knowing that other people would raise him was harder than he’d thought it would be. It also made him remember how he felt when he and Hilary were expecting a child. He didn’t know how to describe the feeling of thinking you were going to be a father, only to have it taken from you in an instant. He didn’t mean to be insensitive to Amanda after what happened to her father. She assured him it was okay. He felt an emptiness. He was trying to wrap his mind around the fact that he had a son, but he didn’t really have a son.

Devon didn’t regret stepping up for Abby and Chance. He knew what he was getting himself into. Calling Dominic his son didn’t feel right, because that was Abby and Chance’s baby. Amanda said it was okay to acknowledge, even if it was just with her, that Dominic was his son. She thought he felt guilty because his instinct was to be with Dominic, but he had to keep his distance. He thought that was exactly what it was, and he appreciated Amanda understanding. She suggested that he focus on the things he had given Dominic, like life. She thought that the open and inclusive way Abby, Devon, Mariah and Chance had gone into this was a gift. Dominic would never grow up wondering where his family was or who they were. When Amanda was growing up, she didn’t have anyone around her that resembled her. He said she did now, and she replied that it was incredible. He was having a hard time defining the role he’d have in Dominic’s life. She said he’d figure it out along the way. Devon vowed to be there for Dominic, no matter what. Amanda said she’d be there for Devon.
