Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Seriously? Hey. Oh, oh, oh. I see where I rate.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] What do you mean?

Phyllis: Well, I mean, since you didn’t want to fly home from Tuscany with me, you wanted to go to London. Apparently
who’s the first person you see when you do get back into town — Sharon.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Noah wanted to surprise his mother and share his big news with her.

Phyllis: What’s his big news?

Nick: Well, he’s decided to stay in Genoa City for the foreseeable future.

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

Adam: So, my dad tells me that you made quite the noble gesture in Tuscany. You actually deleted the video instead of using it to bury Ashland.

Billy: Don’t sound so shocked.

Adam: No. No, you misinterpret, I’m, um — I’m impressed and I’m shocked that you chose to do the right thing.

Billy: Well, you know me, full of surprises. Speaking of surprises, Jesse Gaines.

Adam: What about him?

Billy: Well, I’m still trying to figure out why he didn’t follow through with his threat to go public with the information that he has. I mean, he’s got the proof to show that Ashland built his entire empire with money stolen from a dead woman.

Adam: Ah. So, the gesture wasn’t that noble after all. You let Gaines be the bad guy.

Billy: Jesse Gaines only agreed to come to Tuscany because he wanted the opportunity to tell the world exactly who Ashland Locke really is. And then he just up and vanishes. Sounds mysterious to me.

Adam: Why is it you are always looking for the nefarious side of everything?

Billy: Maybe it’s ’cause every time you’re involved, it’s always nefarious.

Adam asks, someone from the Newman security team to investigate something and only tell him and Victor if he finds out any information.

Rey gets annoyed with Sharon because he overhears her telling Lily to reign Billy and stop him from going after Adam again.

Christine shows Abby a picture of Chance’s watch that is buried underneath the rubble of the building. Abby is sure that Chance wasn’t in the building when it exploded so she calls Victor and asks for his help to find Chance.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Gasps ] Well, what do you think?

[ Elizabeth laughs ] Daddy! Look what aunt elizabeth brought us! Hot-house-presents! Otherwise known as housewarming gifts. Ahh.

[ Laughs ] Aren’t they pretty? Yes, they are pretty. I didn’t even know we needed decorative pillows. Oh, no, they’re not decorative pillows. They’re throw pillows. So you can toss them on the floor when you guys are watching movies. Ahh. And eat popcorn!

[ Elizabeth laughs ] Thank you, aunt elizabeth. You’re welcome. Yeah, thank you, aunt elizabeth. What would I do without you? Cheer up, spence. At least your step-grandfather paid your bail. Why does everything have to come with a condition? Is what kevin’s asking really that bad? I mean, you’re no longer in jail. You’re free to have a decent cup of coffee, the pastry of your choice. How am I free when kevin is making me get a job? You know, I thought I’d seen the last of the quartermaines when I signed over my father’s claim to elq. For what it’s worth, I think you made the right choice. You are much better off practicing medicine rather than getting embroiled in corporate infighting. But I’m not practicing medicine because the ethics committee has yet to review brook lynn’s retraction. I don’t know what you’re doing here, ned, but I am not going back to pautuck once the suspension is lifted. Actually, I came here for a much more important reason.

[ Sighs ] Sorry I’m late. I had a meeting at deception. It’s no biggie. I’m surprised you wanted to get a drink. Well, we are celebrating austin’s dropping of his claim on elq. What made austin change his mind?

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Beep ] Brook lynn: I dread the day

valentin finds out

bailey isn’t his daughter.

[ Smooches ] The deception meeting was not without its drama. I had to have a little chat with gladys about brook lynn. Gladys doesn’t think that brook lynn is as maternal as she should be. I can only imagine what’s in store for us when our baby is born. Anyway, since the meeting is over, do you feel like meeting for dinner? Great. I’ll see you later.

[ Indistinct conversations ] Willow. Hi. Hi. Are you meeting michael? No, I’m just… taking a break. From the quartermaines, the corinthoses, or both? Actually… from michael. So, ms. Reeves waived extradition, and she’s on her way to pennsylvania. She will be all yours soon. Yeah. I arranged for the money to get transferred to your campaign fund. Good luck on your run for, uh, state attorney general. Yeah, I-I think that prosecuting nina reeves is the right high-profile case you need to bump you up in the polls. Yeah. Um, uh, take care. Everything okay? Yeah. Couldn’t be better. Big move, having nina arrested. Well, someone had to.

Is that about wiley? Look. If nina’s contact with wiley is limited due to her legal status, that is a collateral benefit. But I brought the case to D.A. Sheridan’s attention because nina’s actions were criminal and she deserves to face legal consequences. I couldn’t agree more. I just hope that D.A. Sheridan can get justice for — for avery and donna. I mean, two little girls who thought their father was dead and are so confused that they think that their grandpa mike’s gonna come back to them the same way that you did. You know, justice for dante and kristina a-and — and josslyn. And for you, mom. F-for jason. For everybody who mourned you, dad. And for everyone’s lives who was upended because nina kept you away from us. Well, nina is obviously a very troubled woman, and she — and she’s sorry for her actions. Come on, dad. It’s an act. No, I’m just saying — no, it’s an act. Trust me. Look. Right after you returned, she pulled a stunt that reminded me so much of nelle, my blood ran cold. Look. I gave nina chance after chance, and she betrayed my trust. So, yes, I brought nina’s actions in nixon falls to the attention of somebody who’s in a position to do something about it. What’s going on with you and michael? I thought you guys were solid. So did I. But you don’t need to be burdened with my problems. Okay? You have a job and a baby to deal with. Besides, I shouldn’t talk about michael behind his back. I totally understand. I will just ask one more question, and then you can tell me to shut up. Does this thing between you and michael have anything to do with nina’s arrest? You heard? The port charles press sent out a notification. I can’t say it comes as a surprise. I know how much grief nina caused by not revealing sonny was alive. It’s — it’s less the arrest that troubles me than the fact that michael was behind it. That does not sound like michael. I know. Did you…agree with michael’s decision? I-I don’t know. Uh — I get why he did it. But michael completely blindsided me. Well, austin’s circumstances changed. He realized he was better off dropping his lawsuit against my family. And how exactly did these circumstances change? Well, remember how you told me to engage austin in conversation? Hear him out about the leo thing? Of course. Wait. You actually listened to me?

[ Chuckles ] Shocking. I know. Right? Well, austin ended up blabbing his diagnosis about leo. Being on the autism spectrum. Yeah, which was none of my business, right? So austin violated hipaa laws, and now his medical license is suspended. And that somehow led to him dropping his claim to elq… how exactly? Ned: May I sit? Is this gonna take that long? Well, that depends. I’m here to talk to you about leo. Right. Leo. That sweet boy… that everybody pretends to care about but is really just a pawn in your family’s game. Leo is not a pawn to me. He is to your daughter. Yes, I know brook lynn coerced you into admitting that leo might be on the autism spectrum. I almost lost my medical license because of her. I know. And I’m sorry. Brook lynn can be, uh, single-minded when it comes to fighting for something that she wants. Right. Learned that the hard way. And my wife can be single-minded when it comes to her son, as you noticed. So I want to ask you, as a doctor, can you give me any suggestions to get her to see how you and I see leo? How I can get her to move beyond her denial? So we can help leo. What’s the matter? Things don’t taste as good when you have to worry about how to pay for them. Getting a job can’t really be that bad, spence. You can do anything you put your mind to. Remember when we sneaked out of school to attend fashion week in paris? Yeah, that was your idea, not mine. But you met all those designers, you know, chatted them up. They gave us a backstage tour. The cassadine name impresses. And with your name and those contacts, you could pitch crimson on covering menswear. It’s a woman’s magazine, esme. Hey. Idea number two. You can speak fluent french and a couple of other languages. You could be a matre d’ at the metro court. The international clientele would be very impressed. Carly won’T. She wouldn’t even let britt put us up overnight in her hotel room, remember? Okay. Idea number three. Give private riding lessons to the offspring of the rich and famous, like charlotte cassadine. Valentin loathes me already. No doubt he’ll be thrilled to entrust his daughter to someone awaiting trial for stalking. Okay, fine. I give up. What sort of job do you think you could get? What’s in the box in the kitchen? Oh, why don’t you guys go unpack it and find out? Yes!

[ Laughs ] Finn: Do I dare ask? Oh, it’s just kitchen utensils. You know, for cooking. At home. Wait a minute. People cook in their home? Yeah, you’d be surprised. And aiden is upgrading his cooking stuff all the time, so I just brought you the duplicates.

[ Chuckles ] Thanks. Yeah. Look what I found in the box!

[ Gasps ] What is that? It’s a cherry pitter, for taking the pits out of cherries. In case you want to make a fresh cherry pie. I do, I do!

[ Laughs ] Trust me, dr. Finn. Fresh cherries are way better than canned. Right. When can we make one? When can we make one? Well, as soon as aiden gives us his recipe and…helps us make it. Let’s go see what else is in the box. Before we do that, I have a surprise for you. Another surprise?

brothers and I went througha bunch of photos of our family. We thought you might like some, to remind you how crazy your cousins are about you. They’re not on your phone? Cool, right?

[ Laughs ] Well, uh, thank you for the cherry picker. Pitter. Pitter. It’s a pitter. It’s a pitter. And I brought you some pots and pans. Wow! That’s amazing. Well, we’re gonna need those, you know, ’cause I just — I-I went to this place called the, um… supermarket. Oh! And I bought actual groceries. Nice. Yeah. Hey, why don’t you stay for dinner, you and aiden? All right? Chase is coming over. You know? You could invite jake and cameron. Oh, well, thank you, but jake’s at art class and cameron is working tonight. Ahh. Well, then, how about you, me, chase, aiden, and violet? It’ll be a little camping-trip reunion without the plunge into the icy stream. Or scott falling from the sky.

[ Laughs ] I think we’re safe here. Then I accept. Okay. Is this you? Yeah, that’s mom. When she was little. Who’s this man next to her? I’m not sure, but I think that’s her dad. Online shopping is so convenient. Should I get the brown boots? Or the black?

[ Gasps ] Ooh. Red. Those are gorgeous. I’ll take the black and the red, and I’ll bill the charges to brook lynn quartermaine at deception.

[ Chuckles ] If you must know, I gave austin a choice. He could either drop his claim on elq or kiss his medical career goodbye. So your righteous indignation about austin revealing confidential medical information wasn’t so righteous at all. Nice one. Of course it was. Thank you. Two things can be true at once. I can care about leo and also use austin’s arrogant violation of hipaa rules to my advantage. I’m just saying I remember you bringing up medical privacy law, and I told you to go talk to austin anyway. Is that where you got the idea to maneuver austin into violating confidentiality? You want my help with leo? I’m sorry for laying this on you, especially after brook lynn boxed you into a corner. Oh, she sure did — forcing me to choose between my medical career and my father’s birthright. Hmm. Well, I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t feel boxed in myself. I can’t turn to monica because she’ll go directly to olivia, and I have to do whatever needs to be done to get leo the help he needs. I cannot confirm for you whether or not leo has autism. That’s up to a specialist to decide. Well, olivia refuses to take him to see one. She’s not the first mother to react that way.

[ Sighs ] Well, how do I get through to her? You know, ned. I don’t know what you’re doing here. You don’t need me. You don’t need my advice. You don’t need the opinion of another medical expert. You need a marriage counselor. I walked in on michael meeting with the district attorney for llantano county, pennsylvania. He wants to run for state attorney general, and michael donated money to his campaign. And in return, the D.A. Agreed to prosecute nina. But michael had promised me he wouldn’t make any decisions about nina as it related to wiley unless he and i talked it over first. And when I pointed that out to him, he claimed that having nina arrested was a legal matter that didn’t involve wiley. Seems like michael is splitting hairs. Doesn’t it? If nina gets convicted for lying about sonny, she’ll go to prison, which is the perfect way to keep her from wiley. So, I-I know you already know this, but nina was able to get in one last visit with wiley by just showing up at the house, acting like nothing had happened. There’s no question that nina took advantage of you and the family. Yeah, yeah. Now, unfortunately, nina has legal rights as wiley’s biological grandparent, and the last thing I want is an ugly family court battle with wiley in the center. You’re right. Keeping wiley protected is the most important thing here. Yeah, but keeping wiley protected doesn’t have to mean letting nina off the hook. I mean, her lies kept dad away from his family, from his life for nine months. I mean, that has to be illegal. And D.A. Sheridan thinks that he can make the case for identity fraud. Ohh. I agree with you, michael. I had it out with nina big-time. Yeah, and that’s all you did, though, mom. You had one angry confrontation when you had every right to take it a step further. I mean, you should have gone to the authorities about getting nina prosecuted. Honestly, I’m — I’m surprised that I got here before you did.

Okay. Forget the last… eight ideas. Truth is, getting a job is really about who you know. And who still likes you. There has to be someone in port charles who’s willing to cut you a break. Um, britt westbourne. She’s co-chief of staff at general hospital. Maybe she can hire me as her assistant. There you go. Give her a call. Okay. All right. No offense, but that’s probably something best done in private. Go for it. Hey, cam. Esme. Hey. I just wanted to say thanks for not turning your back on spence — you know, when you offered to speak to your grandfather about defending him. Look. I-I’m sorry that scott laughed at you. Spence has quite the reputation in port charles. Kind of deserved, don’t you think? All I’m asking for is some doctor’s advice on how to talk to olivia. I thought you cared about leo. I do care about leo. But olivia wasn’t listening to me. And brook lynn was threatening my medical license. And you don’t get to come here with your hat in your hand when you didn’t lift a finger to try and help me. I did not in any way encourage brook lynn or conspire with her, okay, to get you to sign away your claim. But I won’t deny that, business-wise, it works out in my favor. Am I supposed to applaud you for just being honest? Austin, I don’t blame you for being angry with me. But the truth is, we’re on the same side. We both want what’s best for leo. So can’t we just make peace for leo’s sake? Brook lynn: Austin is a doctor, okay? He knows perfectly well he’s not supposed to share patient information unless he gets permission from said patient. Now, if austin is too arrogant to keep his theory to himself, then he assumed the risk and has to live with the consequences. The point is, you manipulated austin into saying something that he shouldn’t right after you brought up hipaa restrictions to me. Why do you even care? It’s not like you’re a fan of his. Because austin’s a doctor. And he was worried about a patient, and you took advantage. Okay. That was harsh. Well, would it make you feel any better if I told you I did it for my dad? Ned can take care of himself. He doesn’t need your help. Look, and I know you’re — you’re feeling guilty because valentin got your shares of elq, but I think your dad’s forgiven you. When are you gonna forgive yourself, brook lynn? It’s not like I haven’t heard that one before. But you know what? It’s all good now. I’m retracting my claim that — that austin, you know, violated hipaa, and he can go back to practicing medicine again. You gave him a choice — his — his medical license or his claim to elq — and he chose his medical license. Doesn’t that tell you that his heart’s in the right place where leo is concerned?

[ Scoffs ] I think it shows he was backed into a corner, and he picked the sure thing, his medical career, instead of waiting around to see if the court, you know, sided with him and his claim. You’re not gonna give this guy any credit. Oh, please. Austin gatlin-holt is far from a poor, powerless little country doctor. He basically declared war on me. Is that your daddy? It is. I’m sorry, mom. That picture must have gotten mixed up with the other ones. Isn’t he my mommy’s daddy, too? She told me that his name was grandpa jeff. Your mommy was right. I know grandpa gregory. How come I don’t know grandpa jeff? Me and my brothers don’t spend any time with grandpa jeff, either, violet. Why not? He lives really far away. Daddy, can we go see him? Well, he’s a, um, really busy man. Too busy to meet me? Why can’t I meet my grandpa? You’re right. I should have done something. And believe me, I have stayed up at night thinking of ways to get back at nina. You didn’t come up with anything? I came up with a million things! And then I reconsidered. Why? Because I asked her to. It sure sounds like michael went full-on quartermaine. And corinthos. Obviously what nina did to his family hit him really hard. And I understand that. What I don’t understand is why michael shut me out. We had what I thought was a really good talk about the situation. We agreed that nina was totally in the wrong, but for wiley’s sake, the best thing we could do is not trouble, trouble. Nina hasn’t tried to see wiley since the truth came out. Why provoke her? Michael agreed. He even thanked me for my insight. And then he turned right around and got that D.A. Sheridan to have nina arrested without even asking to hear my thoughts on the matter. Dad, why? I thought it was enough that nina understands that she stays away from me and my family. And wiley? She knows that you’re gonna make the decision whether she has a relationship with wiley. And I-I — you know, I’m with you, whatever decision you make. Wait. Dad, do you have a problem with me reaching out to D.A. Sheridan? Actually, yeah, I do.

Willow, michael loves you. I know how much he was hurting when you married chase. I’m not doubting michael’s love. But for the first time, I feel like he hid something from me, went behind my back, led me to believe one thing while he was doing something else. Maybe he can’t fight his upbringing. He is, after all, a quartermaine and a corinthos. And he’s seen how his two families deal with people who get in their way. So in michael’s mind, he was only doing what he was taught to do — deal with the problems by any means necessary. It’s not what michael did. It’s that he left me out. Michael never shared what was on his mind with me. He treated nina as a problem only he could handle. And I don’t blame you for being hurt, but I’m gonna guess that michael didn’t intend to exclude you. In fact, he probably thought that by going after nina legally instead of in family court, he was honoring your wishes. Yeah, that’s what he said. That’S…not at all how I see it. Then say that to michael. Tell him how you feel. It’s the best way to work this out. Michael, I agree with you about nina. I do. But your dad convinced me that his homecoming shouldn’t be about anger and resentment. I mean, sonny’s back. And he missed us, and we missed him, and we all get to be together, and that’s what’s important. I was — I was downplaying any payback with nina because I didn’t want to make it a bigger deal than it is, right? I just want to forget about her. Yeah, and, dad, you can do that right now. D.A. Sheridan’s moving forward with the case against nina. If she’s convicted, none of us have to worry about bumping into her in port charles, especially wiley. Isn’t leo’s welfare the most important consideration? Brook lynn didn’t think so. Brook lynn has no soul. She’s like the rest of you quartermaines, with the possible exception of monica, although monica married into the family, so thank goodness for monica. She doesn’t have to share your dna. Ned: Brook lynn has a soul. She also cares deeply about this family. Last year, she made a huge error in judgment, and now she’s determined to do everything she can to make it up to me and the family. That does not make what she did to me any less ugly. Ned… i love being a doctor. I love it. Might be the best thing about me. I want to help people. And she took that, and she twisted it around. She tried to use it against me. She weaponized it. And I will not forgive her for that. And I will not, not forget. Chase: Did austin really declare war? Or are you exaggerating just a little bit? You tell me. After austin signed the document giving up his rights to elq, he told me this was far from over, that it was just the beginning. The guy wants payback. Okay, well, if austin does try anything, let me know. I’m still a detective, even though I’m chained to a desk for the foreseeable future. You’ll still help me? Even though I might have crossed the line? I understand going to extremes, and I’m always willing to help out a friend. Thanks, chase. My pleasure.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Sighs ] Wyndham’s? I didn’t buy anything. Whoa!

[ Scoffs ] Maybe he can talk to me about my mommy. Well, your grandpa jeff is a doctor, just like your daddy, and he travels all over the world helping people. I guess those people need him more than we do. That’s why we never get to see him. Let’s go back to the kitchen and finish unpacking the box. Is there stuff to make brownies? Sure. I’ll show you. I’m sorry violet couldn’t let it go. Oh, that’s okay. I just wish I had better answers for her. Why don’t you?

Exactly how did you “reach out” to the D.A.? Uh, he’s ambitious. He’s running for pennsylvania state attorney general. Nina is an editor-in-chief of a major publication. She’s a real-estate heiress. And prosecuting her in a new type of crime like identity fraud will generate headlines to boost his profile. So you just pointed him towards free publicity? Well, the quartermaines also… made a substantial contribution to his election campaign. No luck with britt? Nope. She’s not answering her phone. And the hospital said that she’s out of the country, so… hey, cam! Do you know where spence could get a job? Well, that’s funny you should ask. I actually just got promoted to assistant manager, so that means we need a server to take my place. Too bad I was arrested and I’m awaiting trial. Well, you know what? Kelly’s believes in giving offenders second chances, even ones with no hospitality experience. Thank you, cam, but I will give it a hard pass. That’s fine. Someone way better just applied anyway. Spence. Really? Do you think you have a choice? My dad and I haven’t been close for a very long time. Same with my dad and me. We got through it. Maybe you and your dad will, as well.

[ Knock on door ] Aiden: [ Gasps ] Someone’s here! I’ll get it. Unh-unh. We’ll both get it. Come on up.

[ Grunts ] Uncle chase! Ah!

[ Chuckles ] Hey! Are those for me?! They’re violets for my favorite violet.

[ Laughs ] There you go. Thank you. Yeah. Aunt elizabeth! Look what he brought me. Chase: How’s it going, aiden? Are you still making that — was it a seven-layer bar? Yeah, I brought some. They’re in the kitchen. Score! [ Laughs ] Elizabeth, how you doing? I hope you guys are joining us for dinner. Do you mind? Uh, if you cook it. Oh, that is hilarious. It’s mac and cheese. How hard could it be? Um, let aiden take care of it. We’ll let aiden take care of it. Yeah. Oh, and I brought you a good-luck charm. A good-luck charm, huh? Mm-hmm. All right. Let’s see what this is here. Ohh! Hey! Look at this! Daddy, pick me up. Pick you up? Okay. Come on up.

[ Grunts ] How’s that?

[ Smooches ] Aww.I kissed the cook!

[ Laughter ] Thank you, sweetheart. Who’s ready to eat? I am. I’m starving. Chase: Yeah, I second that. All right. Let’s go. Everybody into the kitchen. Come on. A little enthusiasm. It’s all downhill from here! Come on! Did michael ever do anything like this to you when you guys were together? No. But michael and i didn’t share a child. We never had to go through what the two of you did to protect wiley from nelle. And you gave up your relationship with michael so he and i could be together. Chase and I did it for wiley. We have no regrets. Everything worked out for the best.

[ Laughs ] How is the baby? Perfect. Of course. And brando? We found our footing once he agreed not to work for carly and jason. So it’s smooth sailing. Oh, I wouldn’t go that far. We still have to deal with brando’s mother. Oof. [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] You wanted to see me, boss? Your job description does not include buying two pairs of cartullo boots from wyndham’s and charging it to the company! I need to look good. Look good with your own money! Look, you will pay back every single dollar, and you’ll start by finishing up the notes on the face of conception business meeting. Thank you. I don’t think so. Excuse me? Well, it’s too late to start tonight, and tomorrow I’m taking a mental-health day. Are you trying to get fired? Go ahead and fire me. But then I’d have to reveal your little secret. What little secret? Actually, it’s not that little. Kinda major. I recorded it on my phone. You want to hear it?

What if someone figures out the connection between your donation and nina’s arrest? Yeah, your donation could be seen as a bribe. Look. Campaign contributions are completely legal. I had — my attorney’s filing the appropriate paperwork. The fact is, nina broke the law. She did it in llantano county. So it’s up to sheridan if he wants to prosecute. Look. Did I set it in motion? Yes. Yes, I did. But sheridan is an experienced prosecutor who wouldn’t move forward with this case unless there was merit. Nina is the one who’s wrong here, okay? Not me. If I wasn’t pregnant, gladys corbin would have me diving headfirst into a bottle. If you weren’t pregnant, gladys corbin wouldn’t even be in your life. True. And I wouldn’t trade this pregnancy for anything. Despite gladys being a class-a troublemaker. You know, carly and I have had our disagreements, especially about nina, but fortunately for me, carly is no gladys. Oh, not even close. Willow… I’m not trying to rationalize what michael did, but I don’t think he meant to shut you out. Every couple argues. No matter how good they are together. That’s what makes them so good! They feel safe enough to disagree. Michael loves you with all his heart. What he did does not change that. And I hope it doesn’t change your love for him. No, of course not. Then you will work this out… and you will both be stronger for having overcome this. Finn: Elizabeth! You coming? Chase: Finn doesn’t know how to turn the stove on! You can’t figure it out, either, hotshot! It’s one of those european models that only makes sense to the swedes, okay? Aiden: He’s right, mom! It’s weird! We need you, elizabeth! Before chase blows us all up! He’s got a match! I-I’ll be right there! Cam, I’ve done some thinking, and I’d really like to take the job here. I told you, bud. We’re already giving the job to someone with actual qualifications. You want me to grovel, don’t you? Big-time. Look, I’ve been a jerk. A snob. Someone who thought that he was better than the townies. The reality is that I’m a disinherited nobody who is desperate for a job and will be eternally grateful if you offer me one. Good enough? It’ll do. You’ll have to sign some forms, but I don’t see why you can’t start as soon as possible. Thank you. Hm. I’ll need someone to train me. Well, that will be me. The thing you need to know about this job is that kelly’s, it’s a friendly place. The job starts with a big smile, and then you say, “welcome to kelly’S. My name is spencer. And I’ll be your server today.” Give it a shot.

[ Chuckles ] Welcome to kelly’S. I’m spencer. And I’ll be your server today. Excellent. You know, you’re trying to convince me that everything that brook lynn did, she did for you because you are her father, and yet you refuse to accept, you cannot understand, that everything that I’m doing, everything that I was doing, I was doing for my father. Your hypocrisy is mind-blowing.

[ Sighs ] What can I say? Except you’re right. The quartermaines fight ferociously to protect our own. And there’s no room for integrity when it comes to keeping the family safe. Yeah, you see, ned, that’s where you and i are just not on the same page. My father —

[ Chuckles ] My father left this world with his integrity intact. And I plan to do the same. There you go. What’s this? That is the number of a specialist that can help you with leo. Share it with olivia, don’t share it with olivia. I don’t care. Just leave me out of it. Okay. Um… I appreciate the name. But, uh, I can’t make an appointment without olivia’s consent, and you know that. Then you have a beautiful challenge ahead of you. But, hey, it’s no big thing. It’s only leo’s entire future that’s at stake. Ned, I really do hope that you understand how important it is that you convince olivia to do the right thing for her son. What do you want me to hear on your phone? Oh, um, something about your telling maxie that valentin isn’t really your baby’s daddy. Liar. Never said such a thing. Oh.

[ Beep ] Brook lynn: I dread the day

valentin finds out

bailey isn’t his daughter.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Sorry. Your friends cleaned me out. Oh, they’re not our friends. They’re just people we know. Could you, uh, go buy some more? Sure. Please. I can’t believe we came all this way. I know. Cells were empty. The guards were gone. There’s no trace of peter or my mother. And that bridge where drew was shot — do you really think he could survive that fall? I don’t — t-that’s hard to say. I mean, drew was a seal, so he does have a better chance than most. All this mess because my brother is a psycho. Peter leaves a trail of destruction everywhere he goes. It has to stop before someone else dies.

[ Monitor beeping ] No. No, I won’t let you! Oh! Valentin. Get away! Oh, valentin! Stop, stop. You’re just dreaming. You’re just dreaming. I’m in the hospital. Yes, you are. Yes. I’m at a U.S. Facility in crete. Yes. Yes. What were you dreaming about? Peter august. He was trying to get my girls. He was trying to take charlotte and bailey.

[ Grunts ] Sasha: Oh, my god! Could bailey be any cuter?! That’s my blq-2. Are you really calling her that? Oh, the nickname was inevitable. Ah. Well, I can’t wait till my little angel arrives and bailey can have a playmate. You know what? I’ll have to give you all of our hand-me-downs. I know that sounds kind of snobby, but it would be a shame for all that baby cartullo to go to waste.

[ Laughs ] Ah! I just want to have this baby, like, now! Were you this anxious when your due date was getting closer? Me? Nah. Piece of cake. That’s our brook lynn. Grace under pressure. Hey, maxie. Nice of you to join us.

[ Clears throat ] I’m on time. I never said you weren’T. Anyway, I thought this was supposed to be a sitdown to discuss deception’s spring marketing campaign. It is. Okay, then why did you choose this place instead of the office? Wait. No. I didn’t pick this place. Sasha did. What? I — it wasn’t my idea. I-I was told maxie chose it. Who told you that? Surprise! Ha ha! Tuna tartare and shop talk. Is there anything better? Ah, thank you, D.A. Sheridan. I appreciate you expediting nina reeves’ arrest. The quartermaines are proud to donate to your campaign for state attorney general. Ah, thank you. Bye. Are you coming to check up on your mom?

[ Chuckles ] Among other things. Ohh! [ Chuckles ] Hey. Hi. What are you doing here? Actually, I came to talk to michael, so I’ll wait at the bar. No, no. I’m sure you have business to discuss. I mean, what else would you guys have to talk about?

I’ll wait at the bar. Oh. Yeah, your mom still hasn’t forgiven me for defending nina. I’m sure. I’m sure you feel the same way. Especially since I, um, lobbied for nina to be a part of wiley’s life. You mean blackmailed. I prefer to call it something else. I wouldn’T. Okay. Fine. Let’s go with — let’s go with blackmail. Wow. Thank you for finally admitting it. Now that you have… look, if you want to make things right with us, I have a few ideas. Listen. If you could just arrange for me to see acting commissioner scorpio, I’m sure that I could explain everything. Hey, hey! Do nothin’, say nothin’. Hey, hey. I love that I get to see your face every day. How was your visit with spencer? Um, I said what I needed to. I don’t think he enjoyed it. You worried about him? He’s gonna have a bumpy ride. But you know what? He’ll make it. Okay. What’s wrong? So, nina got arrested. Was that you? Uh, I’m scott baldwin. I, uh, represent ms. Reeves. I’d like a minute to confer with her, so… could you get a cup of coffee or something? I’ll be right outside. Okay. What are you doing? I didn’t hire you. Well — I did! Ava, you hired scott for me? You used your one phone call to reach out to me, and I reached out to scotty here. Well, I appreciate that because I don’t know how experienced the crimson attorneys are with criminal law. Uh, well, you know, not good. They’re kind of like snobs. They’re concerned about their manicures. Okay. Scott, while you’re here, we have to fight this extradition thing before I end up in a jail cell in pennsylvania. I think you better tell her, scott. Tell me what? The quicker they cart you off to the keystone state, the better.

Ugh. I guess you’re right. He was a seal. And he survived two years in that compound. After that, what’s a couple of gunshots and falling off a bridge?

[ Groans ] You know, one thing you two do have in common is you’re very hard to kill. Now, look, we — we came to greece to find your mother and hopefully get peter in the process, okay? So we just need to focus —

[ Cellphone chimes ] Anyone we know? Or is someone offering you an extended warranty on your car? It’s dante. He wants me to call him. But I don’t have any bars. Well, feel free to step outside. I’m not moving. No? Uh, hello? Hiking that compound is at least equivalent to a 10k, maybe a marathon, with stairs! Well, you kept up okay. Well, now I’m exhausted. Besides, someone has to wait for the bartender. Okay. I won’t be long.

[ Groans ] Gosh.

Mutter, you better know how much I love you. My feet are killing me! No one is coming for your daughters, certainly not peter. I’ll kill him first. Where is he? Running for his life somewhere. He’s a spiteful son of a bitch. What if he does come after my girls? He won’T.

[ Monitor beeping rapidly ] You need to stop worrying about all the what-ifs, okay? You and I both know what he’s capable of. Okay. Hey. Will you do something for me? Just to humor me? Just close your eyes. Just close your eyes. Okay. Instead of picturing peter coming for your daughters, why don’t you picture what you would do to him if he tried? The hell you would rain down on him. The torment. The punishment. His cries for mercy. Your refusal.

[ Beeping slows ] Okay. Just imagine that for a bit. How do you feel now? Wonderful.

[ Chuckles ] Fresh as a daisy. Yeah. A little revenge fantasy never hurt anyone. You’re twisted, aren’t you? I have my moments. You sure do. So… we have to get you ready to go home so that you can undergo the surgery you need. Are you sure about that? This may be your big chance to get rid of me, and I think you might be blowing it. Yeah. Thought had crossed my mind. Really? Mm-hmm. But I realized that, even at my angriest, when your worst brings out the worst in me… …I do see that… life would be pretty boring without you. It’s bad enough to schedule a business meeting in a restaurant. Why would you make all of us think it was someone else’s idea!

[ Scoffs ] Well, look. You gals know all about the beauty biz. I, on the other hand, know how to shake things up and keep it interesting.

[ Beep ] It’s why you hired me. Gladys, you were hired to assist brook lynn, not — I’m assisting all of you by upgrading your work environment from stale and boring office to posh and swanky. As befits a posh and swanky business. Have to say — I like what she has to say on paper, but I hate the execution.

[ Scoffs ] Come on! Enjoy a little variety in your workday. You really want the same old, same old when you can have the croque monsieur? Which you have to try. It is so french! When I joined deception, it was to influence lovers of glam and — and beauty, not to help you experience things that you can’t afford on your salary so you charge them to the company expense account. Well. If that’s how you feel. If you don’t want a stimulating office culture… we’re not even in the office. If you didn’t want to get out into the world, maybe you should have stayed home with your baby? Y-you do have a daughter, remember? Because when we first met, it seemed like you weren’t even sure you had a kid. Well, you know, I’m keen to make amends, so what did you have in mind? Well, it helps that you got my father out of nixon falls as soon as possible. The corinthos family is grateful, and we won’t forget it. I’m not gonna pretend that sonny is my favorite person. I just hope that everyone can move on without revenge. Well, what some people might call revenge other people call it justice. Unless it’s your position that nina shouldn’t have to pay for what she did. Are you seriously recommending that I don’t even try to fight this extradition? Are you on board with this? Uh, well, the way scotty explained it to me is that you would be playing a sort of long game. How long? 15 to life?

[ Chuckles ] Well, the D.A. From llantano county is looking for a high-profile case so that he can position himself for his run as, uh, state attorney general. How is “women keeps man’s identity from him” high-profile? Is it because it’s sonny?

[ Sighs ] “Rich fashion editor holds mystery man hostage away from his — his past and tries to break up his family.” Comeuppance! And that’s gonna get the guy elected? What, is there no other crime in pennsylvania? Well, that’s my point. That’s why we’re trying to get her away from sonny’s influence. Yeah, but money can cross state lines. Why is it not better for me just to stay here? I can’t give up. No. N-nobody is saying that. Listen. I-I’m — I’m just, you know, filing motions and endless depositions here. You know, I’m just stalling for time until we mount the proper defense. Yeah, but, scott, while you’re stalling, I’m sitting in a 6×9 cell with a stainless-steel toilet! That’s why I’m saying we waive this extradition and — and we go to the keystone state, they charge you, I get you out on bail until the trial.

[ Groans ] And if I fight extradition? Well, then you’ll end up here in the pcpd, and because you’re high-risk, you will not get bail, and the lawyers and the judges will just, you know, take however long they want. And this way, y-you get it over with and you’re free. Until the trial. Look, there’s no guarantees. You want to fight it here? We fight it here. Okay? But it’s your call. Carly: Nina got arrested? You didn’t know? No. I-I mean, I’m certainly not upset about it, but… I-if you didn’t call the cops, then who called the cops? I don’t know. I-I don’t know what kind of laws she broke when she kept your identity from you and didn’t tell your entire family that you were alive, but I guess someone in law enforcement must have thought they had a case. Why bother? I mean — I mean, I know nina caused a lot of pain, but it’s not like she’s gonna be a repeat offender. You never know when it comes to nina. Well, I mean, you know, after all the people that we helped in nixon falls, I don’t think the cops are gonna… wait a second. …Come at — what? “We”?

There were a bunch of lowlifes putting the squeeze on lenny and phyllis. Yeah, I know. You told me all about that. I-I didn’t know nina was involved with that. Well, she was in nixon falls most of the time I was. Yeah. God. It’s just crazy, you know, that you had this whole other life there. You weren’t just tending bars. Well, I wasn’t the only one leading a different life. You and jason took over my business. You were dealing with renault. You didn’t know what was going on with me. I didn’t know what was going on with you. Because of nina. Yeah. Yeah. So did she help your friends in nixon falls? Great. Whatever.

[ Chuckles ] But she’s still responsible for what she did to you. Mm-hmm. And to me and to our family. And if that’s not a crime, I don’t know what is. Scott: Hey, look, I-I don’t want to rush you, but we got, you know, less than an hour before we… I know. I know we do. It’s just — it’s a lot to process. Okay. Well, I’ll tell you what. Uh, I’m gonna go make some phone calls. Ava, I want you to talk nina into, you know, the sense god gave a goose to do the right thing. You know, ava, I really, really appreciate you, I mean, making a u-turn from spencer’s hearing to come back here to help me. Thank you. Believe me. This is a lot more pleasant than that was. Hmm. Plus, I, um — I wanted to clarify something, nina. Uh-oh. What? Well, I know that you thought that I had an agenda when I encouraged you not to give up on sonny. Mm-hmm. Didn’t you? Yeah. I did. But… I do really care about you, and — and I want what’s best for you. Nina, please listen to scotty. I know he comes across as a clown sometimes. He does that on purpose so people don’t see what a shark he is, and he is a shark! And a shark is what you need right now! I can’t argue with that. You know, I knew that sonny would be angry with you, but I never thought he would stoop to this. I know, I know. I can’t believe it. You were counting on him to be more like mike from nixon falls, huh? Yeah. I was. You know, sonny and I, we just talked, you know? We — we put our heads together to talk about how we could help phyllis, and it was a good talk. I mean, it wasn’t great. It wasn’t, like, mind-blowing or anything, but, still, I thought there was a way that sonny and i could coexist. So why did he turn on you? What makes you think that nina is not paying for her misdeeds now? What, because she feels bad about it? Everyone knows what she did — keeping sonny’s existence a secret. I mean, people are asking for her blood, and I’m sure more will pile on. And then, of course, there’s wiley. What about him? Well, he’s just a kid now, but eventually he’s going to know, you know, what his grandmother did to his grandfather. Right, and he has a right to know. And no one understands that better than nina herself.

[ Scoffs ] If nina is so committed to wiley, then why didn’t she bring his grandfather home to him? Why didn’t she come forward when she had the chance? Or any time in between when she found out that my father was alive and the day he came home to us? Who are you to criticize me or anyone as a parent? Brook lynn, you don’t want to make a scene.

[ Scoffs ] I stand behind what I said. Gladys, you need to back off. No, no, no. I want to hear this. Well, then, get ready for an earful. Because you, brook lynn, just like the rest of your generation, want it all. What does me “wanting it all” have to do with my baby? My point exactly. What you want is all for you. Little bailey can fend for herself. Now, you take me and my son, brando — gladys. A word? Now. If the truth hurts… you need to remember that brook lynn is your boss.

[ Chuckles ] How can I forget? Okay, so I didn’t go to secretarial school and I may not know how to take shorthand. Who takes shorthand? Does that even exist anymore? But I am tech-savvy, so my phone makes up for that. Your phone takes shorthand?

[ Chuckles ] No, dear. No, it has a voice-memo thingy. So I record everything, and then later I write it down on the computer so I don’t lose anything. That’s actually not a bad idea. Hm! Yeah. And, of course, I add emojis like rainbows and stars, so I remember who said what to who.

[ Chuckles ] Maxie’s a unicorn. Brook lynn is a bat. And you’re… you get the idea. Right. Just try a little harder not to get on brook lynn’s bad side. She has a good side? I mean it, gladys! And you can start by not questioning her love for her baby.

[ Sighs ] If you say so. But if you ask me, little bailey is gonna need a therapist.

[ Exhales sharply ] I owe you an apology. What for? I just left you at that tavern to sleep off the ouzo. It wasn’t just ouzo. No, I realize that now, but I took it all at face value, which was my first mistake. Then you ended up in a prison with drew and obrecht. Well, on the bright side, I got to spend some quality time with my uncle, who, as it turns out, may be my father. Oh, right. Dear victor. I would have liked to have seen peter turn on him.

[ Clears throat ] Well, victor’s in custody. But he’s unscathed. What’s the word on drew? Any — any word? Not yet, no. You know, if he hadn’t turned back on that bridge to cover me, I’d be dead now. I hate this. I hate this bed. I hate this hospital. I hate being unable to protect my daughters, being unable to go after peter. You need to forget about all this being unable to do stuff. You should just be thankful. Thankful? Yes! Thankful that you’re alive. I-I’m gonna tell you, when we were waiting for the medevac and I was checking on you, checking your pulse and your breathing and holding the pressure on your wound — I’m gonna be honest — I wasn’t sure that you were gonna make it. And when I kept thinking that you weren’t gonna make it, I-I realized I wouldn’t have the chance to say… to say what? They really are out of everything. Is this a wsb operation or a frat party?

[ Footsteps approach ] Oh, it’s about time. What took you…so long? Don’t scream. You’re coming with me. Before either of us goes anywhere, you’re gonna want me to take a look at that wound. I’m fine. Let’s go. Okay. Look. Um… you don’t understand. I’m a doctor. You’re bleeding out. So you can aim that gun someplace else — shut up! There’s a ferry leaving soon, and you’re my ticket out of here.

Uh, j-just curious. Did you take that bullet working for peter august? And if so, was it worth it? What do you care? Because I’M…doctor… you…wounded! You can take me hostage later! Right now let me help you. You’re wasting your breath. We’re heading for the ferry. Now…move!

[ Grunting ]

[ Groaning ] Okay. Now I’m gonna help you. Uh, check behind the bar. I think I saw a first-aid kit. Hand me the gauze.

[ Groaning ] Where’s lisa ob–

[ Groans ] Lisa obrecht? Where’s peter august? I think he might have nicked an artery. If he bleeds out, we may never find my mother or peter, so the interrogation can wait. Right now I need you to help me keep him alive.

[ Groaning ] Just that I wouldn’t have the chance… I wouldn’t know what to say to charlotte. You know? Um, or bailey. One day when she’s old enough. Thank you for thinking of my girls. Yeah.

[ Monitor beeping ] So, you just have to rest now and, um… get ready for the plane to take you home. Give me my phone. What? I’m gonna call charlotte and bailey. Oh, no, no, no. I want to hear their voices. Don’t do that, because it — that’s gonna be emotionally taxing, a phone call like that. A-and, you know, your vitals aren’t all that strong. The doctor, she would have my head. And, you know, you need to keep your strength up. Anna, I love my girls. But you’re all the strength I’ll ever need. Gladys, listen to me! Gladys is such a pain. I know. Woman just drives me crazy. So what was she talking about anyway? Well, when I first met her, she asked me if I had any kids, and it was when bailey was first born, so… so what did you say? Nothing. I think that’s the problem. My brain just sort of froze for a sec, and now here we are all these months later. Look, if you’re worried about her bringing it up again… what are the odds? I mean, does that woman let anything go? Okay. There’s one thing you need to do when the subject of bailey comes up. Just be a mom. It’s not like I don’t have practice.

[ Footsteps approach ] Okay! Gladys, is there anything you want to say to brook lynn? Like what? You know what? It’s — it’s fine. You know what, gladys? Thank you for your take. You gave me a lot to think about. Really? Oh, to be honest, I don’t think she’d really have to think about anyth– let’s just get on with the meeting.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Anna. Where are you? In greece. I’m with valentin. You know what? I’m actually here with maxie. Let me put you on speakerphone. Hold on. Okay. Valentin: Brook lynn, it’s me. Put bailey on the phone. Tell her it’s daddy. Now, I’ve had years of experience with sonny corinthos. And if he’s decided to forego your détente and declare war… which it looks like he has. …You need to remember your secret weapon. You know the truth about what happened between the two of you in nixon falls. Ava, nothing happened with sonny and me in nixon falls. How — how can you say that?! Because mike and I had feelings for each other, but that’s all. That’s all that happened. You know, there was just a few dances and a few kisses. Nina! You and mike fell in love. And sonny remembers that. And you need to have it ready in case you need it. I hear you. I do. But what if we’re wrong? What if sonny wasn’t the one who called the cops, huh? What if carly already knows the truth and she had me arrested? Well, then she’s playing right into your hands. Because then you’ll turn on the waterworks and you’ll appeal to that part of sonny that is still connected to mike, the man who fell in love with you, and you’re home free. Look, I’m not gonna deny what nina’s done. But it’s over. Sonny’s home. Right, and I’m supposed to be, what, willing just to let it go?

[ Scoffs ] Look, nina stole nine months of my father’s life, left my mother, my siblings, all of us to grieve for a man who wasn’t really dead. I don’t know how I could ever forgive that or how you could ask me to. I’m not asking. Carly: Jax? Well, good. Let’s keep it that way. Hey. Have you heard from nina? No. Why? She was arrested.

[ Cellphone rings ] I’m sure that’s her now. Well, it’s not nina. I’m kind of busy. What’s this about? Nina’s under arrest. Her extradition hearing’s about to begin. What? Where?

Pennsylvania.

Where do you think? Now, listen. I know that you have a working and a personal relationship with nina. Is that correct? I do. Well, then I suggest that you get here ’cause nina needs all the friends that she can get right now. Goodbye. It was, uh, scott baldwin. Apparently he’s representing nina. She’s, uh, facing extradition to pennsylvania. Well, I want to see this. Me too. Why? Because nina has it coming. Let’s go.

He needs to go to a hospital. Yeah, I’ve called it in. An ambulance is on the way, but once he’s gone, we don’t have a lead to your mother. Okay, so what do you suggest we do? Maybe you can get him to talk. How? By appealing to his better angels?

[ Scoffs ] Well, you’re the one who patched him up. Okay, okay. Um… I’m looking for my mother, liesl obrecht. I think she was in the compound. She might be peter’s prisoner. Do you know where he took her? Keep me alive, and I’ll take you to her. O-okay wait. T-take us where?

[ Grunts ] Cassadine… cassadine… island. I’m sorry, valentin. Bailey’s in daycare. Valentin:

It’s just one floor down

from the office, isn’t it?

Walk me down, will you? I would, but we’re not in the office. Who was I supposed to know? But I will definitely tell her that daddy’s thinking of her. You sound kind of strange. Are you okay?

[ Monitor beeping ] I’ll be home soon. Just tell charlotte I say,

“j-je t’aime.” Hey, brook lynn, it’s me again. Um, so, listen, sam and dante are on their way back to port charles, and — and they’ll explain everything. Explain what? What’s wrong?

Valentin was injured,

and he’s gonna be airlifted

back to G.H. What? Can you talk to charlotte and just prepare her for that? Of course. Just tell him, um, that the girls love him and that they’ll be waiting for him at home.

I’ll tell him. So, um, about this meeting, it — how about we pick this up tomorrow? I don’t think any of us will be able to concentrate knowing valentin’s in the hospital. What do you say, brook lynn? You know what? Can you guys just give us a minute? Of course. Gladys? What? I’m her assistant. I should stay. Oh, fine. Are you okay? Yeah. I don’t know why I’m so

[Clears throat] It’s not like valentin and me are A… I just can’t help but think about how much he loves his children. Ugh. I dread the day valentin finds out bailey isn’t his daughter. Thank you. Whatever you decide, I’m in your corner. I know. Thank you. Mm-hmm. Have you made a decision?

U know the man? Well, we, uh, came in here for a drink, and then the guy just showed up, and my friend here is a doctor. He was bleeding heavily. Like I told the paramedics, he might have nicked an artery, but they’ve got him stabilized, so he should be okay. Okay. Thanks for your help. Mm-hmm. And one more thing. You didn’t do anything wrong here, but something tells me you’re trouble, so I suggest you get on the next flight back to the U.S. And stay there. So, this is where we call anna, right? I knew that phone call would exhaust you. You can never resist, an “I told you so,” can you? Never. Listen, anna, if the worst should happen — it won’T. If the worst should happen, I need you to make sure brook lynn tells bailey that daddy was thinking of her till the end. You can tell her yourself when you’re home and holding her in your arms. So that’s it, then, is it? You’re gonna let me live after all? Seems rude not to. You’ve survived far worse than to die from something as prosaic as an infection from a bullet wound. And aren’t you far too clever than to appeal to something as prosaic as my vanity? I do what I can. You’re gonna be all right. You have to be, for charlotte and bailey. I think you’re leaving someone else off that list, darling. The fact is, valentin’s a wonderful father. He was all in the moment he saw my baby bump.

[ Clears throat ] Gladys has rescheduled the meeting for tomorrow. I found a bowling alley with the cutest little snack bar.

[ Laughs ] Just kidding! We’ll do it at the office, and I’ll prove to you just how invaluable I am. Okay. Okay. Just like that bloodthirsty bunch to show up for the kill. How could you do this to nina? Did she do something wrong? Yeah, obviously she did. But to go this far? Sonny didn’t have nina arrested, although he had every right. Oh, you just want the credit? Is that it, carly? It’s not her doing or my father’S. Nina, if you need somebody to blame, you should blame yourself. Michael. It was you?

E facts, the law was broken, and justice should be served. This isn’t justice, michael. This is revenge. Well, that’s for the court to decide. Ugh! Pay no attention to those hyenas. Let’s get you settled. Oh, nina. Remember — you still have that ace up your sleeve. It’s there when you need it. So am I. Thank you. All rise. The honorable judge lowe presiding. Be seated. A motion has been filed by the commonwealth of pennsylvania requesting the extradition of nina reeves. Your honor, my client waives her right in this hearing and welcomes her extradition to the commonwealth of pennsylvania. Guys, thank you so much for being so patient with gladys. I want hazard pay. You deserve it. And I’m really hoping that gladys will take advantage of all the chances you’re giving her, learn from her mistakes, and end up being a real asset to deception.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ] Brook lynn:

When I joined deception,

it was to influence lovers

of glam and — and beauty,

not to help you

experience things

that you can’t afford

on your salary,

so you charge them to the company expense account.

Just can’t help

but think about

how much he loves

his children.

Ugh.

I dread the day

valentin finds out

bailey isn’t his daughter. So the ambulance is going to take you to the airport, and from there, you’re gonna get a plane to take you to port charles and then a helicopter to take you to G.H. It’s as easy as one, two, three. Let’s just hope the surgery goes just simply. Yeah. Ready, mr. Cassadine? Yeah, I’m ready. Good luck looking for peter. See you on the other side, okay? Hmm. Nice try. You’re not going anywhere without me. Look, I trust anna, but not when it comes to peter. And the wsb — don’t trust them. They don’t care what happens to your mother. You’re right. To them, people like my mother are either assets and liabilities. I guess the same can be said about drew. The wsb’s priority is terminating peter. Our priority is finding your mom. Well, then let’s go. Next stop — cassadine island. Prince nikolas. I thought you’d want to know… nina reeves, you’re remanded into custody of the commonwealth of pennsylvania, effective immediately.

[ Bangs gavel ] Court is adjourned. Bailiff: All rise. I will have you out on bail like that. Ms. Reeves, please stand up.

[ Grunts ] Oh. Let’s go.

[ Door closes ]

Billy: I think you might have misinterpreted what you overheard.

Sharon: No, I didn’T. You can’t let go of your anger towards adam or your desire to punish him. Why else would you have one of your reporters dig something up about him?

Billy: You know, sharon, I am constantly surprised by your impulse to defend the guy, especially after the way it’s affected your marriage to rey.

Sharon: Okay, don’t you dare turn this around on me. This has nothing to do with me. What do you expect to get out of this new attack, billy? Some juicy new story? What is it you think he’s done this time anyway?

Victor: Well, son, I’m glad you’re finally coming around. Time we confront billy boy directly.

Adam: Well, I was just waiting till the time was right, but now that I see how obsessed billy is with jesse gaines and ashland, it seems like a perfect time to strike.

Victor: Yeah. It is indeed.

Adam: Billy’s distracted. He’s single-minded in his suspicions about gaines’ fate, so he’ll be off his game. You set him up perfectly with your warning, so he’s gonna be focused on gaines and on high alert.

Victor: Billy boy abbott won’t even know what hit him.

Ashland: So, gentlemen.

Victor: Ashland, do come in.

Noah: Hey, no, it’s good to be home for sure, but, I don’t know, it just feels weird being here for longer than a quick visit, you know, with no idea what my future really holds.

Victoria: Did you see this photo? Isn’t the sunset over the palazzo just breathtaking?

Nikki: Mm. The photographer really captured its true beauty.

Victoria: I know. That was just absolutely perfect. I love this photo of dad walking me down the aisle.

Nikki: Ohh. You know, this marriage really agrees with you. I mean, you’re just glowing and so strong and happy, in love.

Victoria: I’m glad that it shows because I am. I am all of those things.

Nikki: [ Chuckles ]

Victoria: [ Sighs ] I go to bed at night happy, and I wake up feeling the same way. I know, I know that ashland and I will have to face some of these challenges that we have, both in business and personal, but I couldn’t be more content.

Victoria: Darling, it is so wonderful to see you this way.

[ Sighs ] Now, if only you could work things out with your brother.

Phyllis: [ Exhales sharply ]

Nick: [ Exhales sharply ] Okay, okay, I give up. I’m never gonna be able to out-stubborn you, but I have questions, so I want to know if we’re ever gonna talk about this or if you’re just gonna keep slamming doors and giving me the silent treatment. I just heard something amazing!

Phyllis: Sorry, I can’t talk right now. I’ve already taken too much time off of work.

Nick: Work can wait. Look, what I said upset you, clearly, but I’m dealing with some things with my family right now, and I could use your support.

Phyllis: Oh, really, you want my support? Every time I give you my support, you reject it.

Nick: When your support comes in the form of criticism, it makes it seem like you don’t care and it’s just an opportunity for you to newman bash and like you’re not listening.

Phyllis: Of course I’m listening. I’m listening and I’m being supportive, but every time I do that, you seem to get offended.

Nick: Well, you’re telling me to just push the hard issues aside and pretend like everything’s fine because that’d be a lot easier than dealing with my contentious family history.

Phyllis: That’s not what I’m doing at all.

Nick: Well, we’re not understanding each other, so why don’t we just sit down and talk about it calmly?

Phyllis: Okay, you know what? I’m not as calm as you right now. And I’m offended because you are insinuating that I don’t have good communication skills and that I don’t care about your feelings. Okay, maybe the first one is true sometimes, but the second one absolutely is not.

Nick: That is not what I’m doing, alright? It’s not what I mean at all.

Phyllis: Okay, you know what? Um…I don’t want to talk right now. Uh, I just need to be alone. I need some space. Can you give me space?

Nick: [ Groans ]

Victoria: Mom, please, I am in too good of a mood to let thoughts of nick bring me down right now. I will deal with all of that somehow after the honeymoon.

Nikki: Darling, I’m just saying, you can’t let this rift between the two of you go on and on.

Victoria: Mom, don’T.

Nikki: Alright, fine. I will stop. Why don’t you tell me about your honeymoon? You’ve been very mysterious about it. Where are you going?

Victoria: Well, I want to surprise ashland with the perfect stress-free getaway to paradise, somewhere far away from everyone and everything, especially the prying paparazzi eyes.

Nikki: Mm. And?

Victoria: Well, I have arranged for the most romantic trip. Okay, just imagine this.

[ Clears throat ] A private island, five-star meals, personal masseuse, just the two of us together.

Nikki: It sounds heavenly.

Victoria: Yes, I know. I’m thinking that we’ll leave in a week. That is, provided we can get caught up on all of the work that’s piled up while we were in tuscany.

Nikki: Well, if I know my daughter, you will work 24/7 and move heaven and earth to make sure nothing gets in the way of this perfect honeymoon.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ]

Nikki: And you deserve every minute of it.

Ashland: Did I hear correctly? Are you planning to go after chanccomm? Because when it comes to billy abbott, I’m in alignment with any plan that takes him down a notch — or 10.

Adam: We were actually going to include you. We knew you’d appreciate what we were doing, and actually you could be useful.

Victor: Let’s put it this way, ashland, we are interested in destabilizing chanccomm, hmm?

Adam: We want to damage it enough to where we can move in, scoop up the remains.

Victor: We were successful in taking over cyaxares, rebranding it as newman media, and now we plan to look at chanccomm as our next target.

Ashland: Well, I’m impressed you’re going on the offensive. It’s an intriguing plan, but you can’t fool me. This has less to do with business and more to do with taking down billy.

Adam: Well, we can’t deny that.

Ashland: Given that’s your motive, and before you give me any details, you just have to know that I’m not going to be withholding anymore information from victoria. There will be no more secrets, so please don’t tell me any details that you don’t want her to know.

Adam: We can respect that. And you do have a point, she, for some unfathomable reason, always protects billy.

Victor: Alright. Let’s put the cards on the table. I’ve already informed billy boy that we’re coming after him. I want to include you in our strategy, so don’t you be concerned about letting victoria know what we’re up to.

Billy: You know I’m a little surprised that rey didn’t share with you what I told him about adam.

Sharon: Maybe that’s because rey is discreet when it comes to spreading around unfounded allegations. And you clearly don’t have those scruples. So, why don’t you fill me in on all the details?

Billy: Happy to oblige. I’ll give you the short version. I believe that adam, at the orders of victor, made a man disappear because he posed a threat to victoria and ashland’s wedding.

Sharon: And what makes you think that victor and adam had anything to do with this guy disappearing?

Billy: Because he has damning information about ashland’s past. He went to tuscany to confront him about that, and that’s where he disappeared. So I would be careful about championing the man, because it looks like the old adam is back.

Sharon: So what are you saying happened, bribery?

Billy: No, this guy’s taken money from almost everyone, and yet he still went to tuscany to take matters into his own hands, so I would say bribery is the least of it.

Sharon: What else then? Kidnapping? Murder? Are those really the accusations you’re gonna throw around now, billy?

Who’s on it with jardiance?

Billy: Those are your words, sharon, not mine. But it’s very interesting that you would go there –ibery, murder, kidnapping. Not so far-fetched, right? Because you know what adam is capable of.

Sharon: No, I think that it’s not just far-fetched, it’s impossible.

Billy: Really? Why is that?

Sharon: Well, first of all, i don’t think that victor would order something like that. And secondly, what motive would adam have? He has no allegiance to ashland locke. And when it comes to victoria, well, there’s no love lost there, is there?

Billy: No, but I think he really likes being back in the newman family fold and he’s about willing to do anything to stay there.

Sharon: No, no, this is about you, billy, grasping at straws, trying to spread around unsubstantiated negative rumors about adam. And it really saddens me. You know, he deserves every chance to turn his life around, just like everybody gave you. And it’s interesting how that seems to get lost in your obsession.

Noah: I’m sorry about the mess, man. I really appreciate you and my mom letting me crash here. I know it was a little unexpected. I hope it’s cool with you.

Rey: Come on, man. This is your childhood home. You’re always welcome here. We’re thrilled to have you. You got everything you need in your bedroom?

Noah: Yeah, yeah. But I’m assuming a bachelor roommate isn’t exactly what you signed up for.

Rey: No, no, but I’m looking forward to getting to know you better.

Noah: Great. Now you can tell me what’s been going on around here. In town, on the ranch. It’s been a while since I moved away. Every time I came back, it was just for a quick visit, so none of the changes have really registered.

Rey: Actually, not a whole lot has changed. Victor’s acquired a few more horses. They’re in the stables. You ride much?

Noah: I haven’t in a long time, but I grew up on the ranch, so I’m excited to get back in the saddle.

Rey: Ha. And your sister faith, she’s really turned her life around after having a pretty rough year. Look, you didn’t hear it from me, but I think that she’s falling for moses winters. She’s gonna fill you in on the rest, and your mom can bring you up to speed on how things are going at crimson lights.

Noah: Yeah, from what I can tell, she’s been working really hard to keep that place going.

Rey: Yeah, she’s pretty amazing.

Rey: And so are you, man. And from what I heard, you were pretty instrumental in saving mariah.

Rey: Oh, all in a day’s work. Glad I could help.

Noah: I’m really impressed with everything you’ve done for my family. Staying on top of all the ins and outs. It makes me feel a lot less guilty about moving so far away, knowing how devoted you are. I really appreciate everything you’ve done, especially through some of the brutal times.

Rey: Yeah, it’s all been worth it, you know? Your mom and your sisters are very important to me.

Noah: So how about you, man, you know, how’s the family?

Rey: Well, you know, I miss them, of course, but sharon and I try to get to miami as often as possible. Pretty lucky, though, because this place really feels like home.

Ashland: Well, I’ve got to applaud the cleverness and downright ruthlessness of your move here. Who knew jesse gaines would actually prove to be so useful?

Victor: Good to have you on board, ashland.

Ashland: Now, you’re confident that billy will lean into this trap?

Adam: We have no doubt.

Victor: You’ve got to know that billy boy doesn’t give a damn about facts. But he will move very quickly once he realizes that he can hurt us.

Adam: And that’ll be his achilles’ heel.

Ashland: Well, I see your point. And if you’re successful, chanccomm will definitely be weakened.

Victor: And then we shall rip it out from under his nose. Healthy habits come in all sizes. Some things are good to know. Like where to find the cheapest gas in town, and which supermarket gives you the most bang for your buck. Something else that’s good to know?

Jack: Thank you.

Sally: Caffeine. Perfect antidote for jet lag. How was your flight back? It was just you and phyllis, right?

Jack: Easy, smooth flight. No bumps.

Sally: Alright. Looks like your relationship with her has been really deepening lately. You guys got to spend some quality time together in italy between kyle and summer’s wedding, and then victoria’S.

Jack: That should come as no surprise to you. You know my history with phyllis.

Sally: That’s right. Funny how you’ve gone from being a couple in the past to being in-laws now.

Jack: I don’t know what you’re getting at or why you’re so curious about my friendship with phyllis, but it seems to me you have your own rather tricky relationship to navigate with your new boss, adam. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some reading to catch up on.

Rey: [ Chuckles ] Well, I hope you’re feeling at home here, too, you know.

Noah: I think it’s pretty obvious I’ve had no problem making myself comfortable in your living room. I’ve grown a little accustomed to my bachelor lifestyle, but i promise to be more considerate in the future.

Rey: I hope you’re not gonna feel uncomfortable living here with your mom, me, and faith. We’re not gonna be cramping your style, are we?

Noah: Trust me, that is not gonna be a problem. I mean, right now I don’t even know how long I’m gonna be staying. To tell you the truth, even though I spent a lot of years in this house, it — I don’t know, it just doesn’t really feel like home anymore. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Now, the crazy thing is, london didn’t really feel like home anymore either. At least not lately.

Rey: You know, I get that. You’re starting to feel like a man without roots. You know, I feel the same thing when I get back to miami. It takes me a minute to settle into that rhythm. Don’t get me wrong, I love my family and seeing them, but it’s just not who I am anymore. It’s not before long I want to get back to sharon and our life here.

Noah: Yeah, I think that’s what I’ve been missing, too. Yeah, I — stuck in this kind of weird limbo, you know, between my childhood home and whatever my future home and life might be.

Rey: Well, don’t worry. I’m sure you’re gonna work it out. In the meantime, you know, kick back. There’s no rush. Enjoy yourself.

Noah: Thanks, rey.

Rey: But you better brace yourself because there’s gonna be a lot of pressure for you to make the move permanent.

Noah: [ Chuckles ]

Rey: Nobody’s gonna want you to leave here again.

Sally: Adam! Do you have a minute? I don’t mean to brag, but i wanted you to see the latest headline that I spotted. This european magazine is calling me the next vera wang. You do know who that is, don’t you, or do you just not agree with the comparison? Okay, well, we need to capitalize on this. And what do you think about doing a feature — “the making of a dream dress”? We can share all the sketches that I made and I can write about the process, I can talk about how I got the measurements and how we rushed it into production and how, against all odds, we got it to the bride just before her wedding day. It’s a really dramatic story. We have to share it. People are gonna eat it up.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sally: What do you think?

Adam: I think that you should just talk to chloe, and I’ll go along with whatever she thinks.

Sally: Do you not care?

Adam: Honestly, no, I don’t care about the wedding dress press right now.

Sally: Wow. Okay, I get it. You said you just want to keep things strictly professional when we got back, that’s exactly what you’re doing. I just thought that the fashion division was more important to newman media. I guess I was mistaken.

Adam: Sally, you have to stop taking things so personally. There’s more to newman media than your fashion line. I’m sorry, I have a call scheduled with an investor that I need to get to.

Victoria: Oh! I’m so glad you’re here. Listen, I know I said I wanted to keep the details of our honeymoon a surprise, but I just don’t really know if I can stick to it.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] You are so fired up about this. It’s lovely to see. Go on, tell me everything.

Victoria: Okay, well, maybe just one photo.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ]

Victoria: A tease. Look. Isn’t it fabulous? Look at that.

[ Gasps ] Oh. Ashland. What’s going on? Are you okay?

Ashland: Yeah, no I feel fine. Yeah.

Victoria: Then what is it? There’s definitely something on your mind.

Ashland: I was just at newman media earlier, and i think there’s something that you should probably know. Victor and adam are planning a move against chanccomm.

Victoria: Really? What do you think about it?

Ashland: From a business standpoint, it does make sense. Cripple the competition, fold them into your empire. It’s a move I would make — and I have many times in the past. And it seems as though they’re not interested in playing nice. Far from it.

Victoria: I see. You want me to know that? Why?

Ashland: Because I don’t want there to be any more secrets between us. And you may not want them to go after billy for the same reason that billy claimed he wanted to protect you — for the sake of your children.

Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Victoria: Do me a favor. Don’t give me any of the details.

Ashland: I don’t understand.

Victoria: Well, you said that going after chanccomm was not an unusual business move, right?

Ashland: Yeah, but what i meant —

Victoria: Look, I don’t need to know how my dad and adam plan to go about this. If billy wants to play in the big leagues, then he needs to step up and protect his company.

Ashland: I got to say, I’m both surprised and impressed by your response, and I will honor your wishes and…keep all of the details from you.

Victoria: You should feel very flattered right now.

Ashland: And why is that?

Victoria: You have won my father’s respect. Victor newman only circles the wagons and goes on the attack for family, so guess what that makes you.

Ashland: Well, when you put it that way, it sounds like cause for a celebration. How about treating ourselves to lunch at society?

Jack: Hey. Join me for a minute.

Phyllis: Ah.

Jack: Come on. Okay, what’s got you down? There’s something going on in that mind.

Phyllis: Don’t push, honestly, because if you do, it’ll all just come spilling out, and I don’t want to throw my problems on you. You don’t deserve that.

Jack: Well, give me a little credit. I’m pretty sure I can handle it.

Phyllis: Alright, you asked for it. Okay. So me and nick. It’s not getting better. I don’t understand what’s happening. It’s like I have to just deal with the real superficial relationship in order for it to work out. Not too deep. You know what I mean? If any conflict arises, we just seem to crumble.

Jack: Okay, are you sure you’re not maybe exaggerating a bit? You two have been through a lot and survived in the past.

Phyllis: I know. I’m not being dramatic. I’m not. It’s just strange. We’re — we’re not on the — on the same planet. I mean, we’re not speaking the same language. We have a different style altogether. I don’t understand this. I mean, no one’s doing anything big. No one’s cheating. We’re not keeping secrets.

Jack: Okay, so what’s the issue?

Phyllis: I don’t know. It’s just all gone sideways. Do you know what I mean? What do I do about that? How do I work that out?

Victor: Well, my goodness. If it isn’t the happy newlyweds. You on a working lunch? Or are you taking a break from all the work that undoubtedly accumulated after your wedding?

Victoria: Ashland has shared your plans with me.

Victor: Well, I’m glad he did. Sweetheart, you must admit that after all that billy boy has done, he needs a wake-up call. He has it coming.

Victoria: You don’t have to convince me. I’m on board. I just want to be spared the details. All is fair in business, as far as I’m concerned, and I’m done protecting billy.

Noah: The ranch looks great as always. I just took a nice long walk around a couple of my old favorite spots.

Nikki: Oh.

Noah: Brought back a lot of memories.

Nikki: It’s so good to have you back. Did you go by the stables?

Noah: Yeah, I did, actually. Rey told me about the new horses. They’re really beautiful.

Nikki: Aren’t they? You and I are gonna have to go riding together. My gosh, we haven’t done that in years. Every time you’re home, it’s usually for some crisis or another.

Noah: Not this time, though. Thank god my mom’s finally healthy. Mariah and faith are both doing well. Finally just a worry-free opportunity to spend some time with the family.

Nikki: So how long do you think you can stay? I know when we were in london visiting you, I got to see how fabulous your career is going there, so you probably can’t afford to stay away too long.

Noah: Well, thank you for the high praise, but only a proud grandma would characterize my career as fabulous.

Nikki: [ Scoffs ]

Noah: I do okay.

[ Chuckles ]

Nikki: Well, modesty has always been your most endearing trait. I’m sure you must’ve gotten that from me.

[ Both laugh ]

Noah: I’m sure grandpa told you about the branding work I’ve been doing for newman media. Maybe while I’m here, I can expand on that a little bit.

Nikki: Oh, that would be great. I know victor would love that. And I would be thrilled because then you would be in town for a while.

Noah: Oh, okay, you really jumped on that “for a while” conclusion mighty fast.

Nikki: [ Laughs ] Well, I’m pretty adept at reading the signs.

Noah: Are you sure it’s not just wishful thinking?

Nikki: Most of the things that I wish for do come true eventually.

Noah: Yeah, well, I’d hardly call that magic. No, it’s more so just your sheer uncompromising force of will.

Nikki: [ Laughs ] I have missed that dry sense of humor of yours. But something tells me that there’s something else on your mind.

Noah: Oh, yeah, what’s that, your sixth grandma sense?

Nikki: Is there a reason why you’re here and not in london?

Noah: Don’t worry, I’m not hiding or running from anything.

Nikki: Well, that’s good to know.

Noah: There’s a lot of reasons I want to come spend some time in genoa city.

Nikki: Like what?

Noah: Oh, for one, this whole thing with dad. I’m really worried about how he’s dealing with this rift with victoria, and now he even seems like he’s mad at grandpa, too, for some reason.

Nikki: Yes, I am very concerned about that, as well. And nicholas and victor have always been very different, but the one thing they have in common is their stubbornness. And I’m afraid that’s the reason why this problem won’t be going away so easily. Hi sabrina!

Victor: Son. Just leaving, but if you want to have a cup of coffee, I’ll stay.

Nick: Yeah, thanks. I don’t have time. I’m just gonna grab a quick bite and then go home to christian. Noah’s in town, by the way.

Victor: Yeah, I hear.

Nick: He’s staying at sharon’S. Be nice if he could spend some time with his grandparents.

Victor: Well, from what i know, your mother is planning a dinner. I hope you’ll be there.

Nick: Probably not the best idea.

Victor: Son, I really hope from the bottom of my heart that you can forgive what happened in tuscany. Just get over it. Let it go.

Nick: Well, the wedding’s over, but nothing’s changed. I mean, you use me when you need me, and then you cast me aside in favor of adam when I don’t follow your rules, and I’m over it. It’s got me questioning my place in this family yet again.

Jack: I’m sure I don’t have to remind you, no relationship is easy. They’re all difficult. They’re all tricky. They’re all clumsy and they all inevitably lead to rocky patches.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm.

Jack: And it is a measure of the depth and strength of that relationship how a couple handles the tough spots.

Phyllis: Yeah, well, I mean, the thing is, we’re not handling it at all. At all. I don’t even know if we’re capable of it at this point.

Jack: Well, are you and nick at least talking?

Phyllis: Yeah, I mean, he wanted to sit me down and talk to me.

Jack: Well, that’s a good thing. How’d that go?

Phyllis: I felt like if i would’ve stayed, I would’ve overreacted, so — so I just needed time to clear my head.

Jack: Wait, he wanted to talk, and you walked out?

Phyllis: Yeah. I mean, I felt that was the right thing to do. Otherwise, I would’ve just kept on saying the wrong thing.

Jack: You know what? Taking a step back and thinking it through is not the worst idea you’ve ever had. Look, I have been on the receiving end of your untempered temper, and it ain’t pretty.

Phyllis: Yeah, I mean, that’s why I decided to walk away.

Jack: Yeah. Just take a breath. Taking some air, put your head in the right place before you sit down and have an important adult conversation.

Phyllis: Yeah. Thank you. You always know what to say to calm me down.

Jack: I don’t want you giving up. Don’t give up yet.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

[ Scoffs ]

Adam: Yes, we feel quite good about it, too. Company’s in a strong position and we’re looking into some expansion opportunities, too. Yeah, social media buzz has been great. Given a real lift to the cpms and subscribers to the site. Well, I can’t argue with that. Sally spectra is a valuable asset to newman media. We are happy to have her. Sure, I’ll have my assistant set up the next meeting. Alright.

[ Sighs ]

Victoria: I mean, look at this view. It’s just heavenly, isn’t it?

Ashland: Well, it certainly is.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ]

Ashland: You’re really looking forward to this honeymoon.

Victoria: Yes, I am. Aren’t you?

Ashland: Of course I am. Anything that makes you happy, my angel, makes me happy, too.

Victoria: Well, all we have to do is plow through that mountain of paperwork, and then we can escape.

Ashland: Mm.

Victoria: And we can truly unplug.

Ashland: Deal.

[ Cellphone rings ] Excuse me. It’s my oncologist.

Victoria: Take it.

Ashland: Hello, doctor.

[ Clears throat ] What did the latest tests reveal? If you’re on medicare, remember,

Victor: You know, it breaks my heart that you don’t feel part of this family. I mean, why?

Nick: Well, that’s it exactly, isn’t it? Your lack of awareness is at the core of the problem. You never perceive how your actions are seen from your children’s point of view, at least not mine anyway.

Victor: Son, I’ve given you everything, everything you ever needed or wanted. I don’t understand any of this. What is it that I don’t see?

Nick: This ongoing conflict is a push/pull dynamic that is never gonna go away. It’s been going on for decades. I know mom has tried to mediate. It’s no use. I’m not even angry. I’m exhausted. It’s exhausting, and I’m not hungry anymore. I’ll see you later, dad.

Billy: Do you mind if I join you?

Sally: Please. Sit down.

Billy: I was hoping now that you work at newman media, we could have a little chat.

Sally: What makes you think we have anything to chat about?

Billy: Just got a few questions I’d like to ask.

Sally: Oh, really? Are you working on a story about victoria newman’s wedding dress? ‘Cause that really seems to be the only thing the media wants to talk with me about recently.

Billy: Well, it was a beautiful dress. Right now I’m looking for background on a story about newman media and the company’s entanglement in the disappearance of a man named jesse gaines.

Sally: I have no idea who you’re talking about.

Billy: I’m following up on a source that suggested adam and victor were involved in the disappearance. And you flew on adam’s private jet to tuscany, correct? I’m just wondering if you overheard anything, particularly on the return flight.

Sally: I have nothing to say to you. I know that you’re a rival of newman media. My loyalty lies with them, period.

Billy: I wonder how long that’ll last. I couldn’t help but notice the two of you getting cozy at the palazzo. You may think that you have a line into him, but believe me, adam is as savvy and dangerous as they come and he only worries about himself. So I suggest that you protect yourself.

Sally: Well, you’re not the first person to warn me about adam. Pretty sure you won’t be the last. But I’ve also been warned about you and your personal vendetta against him, so you know what? I can hold my own and make my own decisions, thank you very much.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Hey, it’s phyllis. Bring up a bottle of our best champagne, also two orders of filet mignon, and, um… chocolate-covered strawberries, for sure. You know what? Just bring up everything that is a best-seller in our romance and honeymoon package. Yeah, thank you.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Victoria: So, what did the doctor say?

Ashland: Can we maybe talk about this at home or someplace more private?

Victoria: No, no, no, no, no. I can’t wait. I want to know now. What did — what did he say?

Ashland: [ Sighs ] Well, apparently, I’m not reacting to the treatments as everyone had hoped.

Victoria: What does that mean?

Ashland: The chemotherapy’s not working. I mean, we all knew it was a long shot.

Victoria: That’s okay. I mean, we’ll just — we’ll have to deal with it. We’ll find an even more aggressive drug. That’s what we’ll do. Or maybe something that’s even more experimental, if possible. I hope you know that this doesn’t mean that we’re giving up. It just means that we have to fight a lot harder now.

Ashley: Honey, why don’t you just sit down and take a breath?

Abby: They didn’t find chance in the rubble, did they? I mean, maybe he wasn’t even in the building when the bomb went off.

Ashley: I believe that, i really do. I haven’t given up hope, honey, but I think maybe what christine’s trying to do is just prepare in case.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Abby: Maybe it’s the feds with some definitive news about chance.

Ashley: I’m gonna go get it, okay? Just stay put.

Christine: Abby.

Mariah: Hi.

Ashley: Hey.

Mariah: Ashley, um, is something wrong? Is it — is it the baby? Is it dominic?

Ashley: No, the baby’s fine.

Tessa: Christine? Whoa, what’s going on? Is everything okay?

Michael: Oh, hey! I’m so sorry I’m late.

Devon: Hey. It’s okay, michael.

Michael: Hey.

Amanda: It is not a problem. I am just glad that you are here now. We are anxious to hear what is going on with sutton’s case.

Michael: The voir dire is complete.

Devon: That’s jury selection, right?

Michael: Very good. Yes. And I am feeling good about the final 12. Sutton’s defense team, not so much.

Amanda: Why is that?

Michael: They were unhappy about some challenges I made. I was able to get the court to dismiss several potential jurors who seemed to have a bias going in.

Devon: That’s good.

Amanda: Favoring my grandfather, I assume.

Michael: Yeah. Well, it’ll make our job a whole lot easier with a level playing field, huh?

Amanda: All good work, counselor. I wish I could’ve been there to see you in action.

Michael: You’ll get your chance.

Devon: When is the trial set to start?

Michael: Next week.

Devon: That’s very soon.

Michael: I’m ready.

Amanda: Good, because my money’s on you. And I want this over and sutton convicted as soon as possible. The last thing that my mother needs is a long, drawn-out trial, not with her heart condition.

Michael: I had naya’s situation in mind when I devised my case. You’re a key component. That is, if you’ll agree. I’d like you to testify against your grandfather.

Billy: Thank you for coming.

Rey: Sure. What’s this about?

Billy: It’s about a missing person. Someone with a connection to ashland locke. I believe something happened to him.

Rey: Like?

Billy: The guy’s name is jesse gaines, and he has the kind of information that could cause a massive scandal and cost the people involved a fortune. He was on the verge of revealing that information when he suddenly disappeared.

Rey: Well, how do you know he’s not just lying low?

Billy: Well, we have some of the best investigative reporters in america on our payroll, and we haven’t been able to find him.

Rey: And you think locke’s involved?

Billy: I think the real person of interest, who’s smack in the middle of all of this, is adam.

[ Knock on door ]

Sally: Check your e-mail.

Adam: Um, okay. What’s up?

Sally: You said the best thing that you could ask for is a productive and profitable day. Voil. Feast your eyes on not one, not two, but 15 glowing reviews from the european fashion press all about victoria’s wedding and her stunning, one-of-a-kind couture gown by sally spectra for newman fashion.

Adam: That is fantastic. Congratulations.

Sally: Thank you. I’m pretty happy about it, too. It’s not every day you get praise from the movers and shakers of the industry.

Adam: Well, you know what? Why don’t — why don’t we go celebrate? Why don’t we go grab a bite? My treat.

Sally: Yeah, that sounds great. Let’s invite chloe and we will make it a working meal.

Adam: [ Scoffs ]

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Seriously? Hey. Oh, oh, oh. I see where I rate.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] What do you mean?

Phyllis: Well, I mean, since you didn’t want to fly home from tuscany with me, you wanted to go to london. Apparently who’s the first person you see when you do get back into town — sharon.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Noah wanted to surprise his mother and share his big news with her.

Phyllis: What’s his big news?

Nick: Well, he’s decided to stay in genoa city for the foreseeable future.

Phyllis: He’s leaving london?

Nick: Noah’s calling it “taking a break.”

Phyllis: I thought he loved it there.

Nick: Yeah, I thought the same. So I just really wanted to be there with him when he had this conversation with sharon.

Phyllis: Yeah. Well, you guys must be so excited that you have your son back.

Nick: Yeah. I am concerned, though. I mean, it seems impulsive, and noah doesn’t really want to talk about why he’s leaving the uk.

Phyllis: Do you think something bad happened?

Nick: My gut says yes. I’m hoping it’s nothing serious and that he’s willing to open up about it in the next couple days to me.

Phyllis: Mm. Just like I hope you’re willing to open up to me about, you know, what’s going on between us.

Amanda: You want me to testify against my grandfather?

Michael: All I’m asking you to do is to get up on that stand and say exactly what happened. I mean, you, as sutton ames’ granddaughter, accepted a role on his legal team to defend him against these terrible allegations. But once you dived into the research, your position became untenable, and eventually you concluded that you couldn’t defend the man after all.

Devon: Yeah, is what you’re proposing even ethical, michael?

Michael: Amanda was fired from the case, so we’re not breaking any rules.

Devon: No, I know, but everything sutton said to her, isn’t that protected under the attorney-client privilege or — right?

Michael: Okay, okay, listen. Amanda, all I’m interested in is what you learned after you were fired. That’s the only thing I’ll question you on, alright? And since you weren’t representing sutton at the time, I see it as fair game.

Amanda: The defense sure won’T.

Michael: No, no, their heads are gonna explode. I mean, they’ll be objecting so much. I mean, your testimony is the last thing they’re gonna want the jury to see or hear, which is only gonna make them want to see and hear it more. Look, what testimony is more compelling than sutton ames’ own granddaughter and — wait for it — former attorney?

Christine: According to the state department, given the scope of the attack, it’s doubtful anyone inside survived.

Mariah: Oh, my god.

Tessa: Abby, I’m so sorry.

Ashley: Yeah, we’re trying to be positive.

Mariah: Of course. Well, I mean, it’s — it’s definitely possible that chance, you know, wasn’t in the building.

Abby: Yeah, it definitely is. That’s what I’m holding onto.

Tessa: Well, then we will, too.

Abby: Um, christine, there’s — there’s got to be another contact, someone that you can call, someone with a sliver of hope?

Christine: Maybe. Let me make some calls and see what I can learn.

Abby: Thank you. Okay, so, wow. What brings you guys by? Is everything alright?

Tessa: Yeah, everything’s great.

Mariah: The reason for our visit might — might seem a little silly.

Ashley: That’s okay. Maybe we could use a little of that right now.

Abby: Yeah, I need any and all distractions, please.

Mariah: Well, tessa just got back from victoria’s wedding, and she brought a gift back from italy for — for dominic. Here.

Ashley: It’s so cute.

Mariah: Yeah.

Ashley: Aww. Isn’t that sweet?

Abby: Yeah. [ Chuckles ]

Ashley: Isn’t that sweet, huh?

Abby: Yeah, that — that is so cute. Thank you so much. Dominic’s gonna love that. Thank you for thinking of him. Hey, baby. Hey. Look, look what tessa and mariah brought you back from italy. It’s a little bear. And he’s gonna keep you company. Oh, he is so cute, but not nearly as cute as you are.

[ Sighs ]

Billy: Jesse gaines flew to tuscany in order to confront ashland about his past, secrets buried for a lot of years and secrets that ashland wants to keep that way. Gaines wanted to reveal those secrets, and that’s when he vanished from the newman palazzo.

Rey: What was the nature of the information that gaines wanted to reveal?

Billy: I’d rather not get into that right now. But suffice to say that ashland’s paid a lot of money to keep these secrets quiet. He knows that it would jeopardize everything he’s built.

Rey: How does adam factor in?

Billy: Well, as you know, ashland locke and the newmans are family. You add the merger on top of that, the newmans have rallied around ashland to protect him. Too much at stake. Victor newman would never let some nobody risk it all, and that’s where adam comes in. He was in tuscany, and I believe he’s the one that made it happen. How, I don’t know. At this moment, it’s all instinct.

Rey: Yeah, well, I’m gonna need more than just your instincts before I can even consider opening up an official investigation, billy.

Billy: I know that. But I came to you because i think you know the man adam is, and I don’t think you believe that he’s changed at all. So if you want the opportunity to get justice for this gaines guy and rid us all of adam, this is your opportunity.

Sharon: What are you two talking about so intently? (Drill sergeant) what a pleasant morning. It’s warm, but not too warm.

Nick: I’m not sure what you mean. Nothing’s going on with us.

Phyllis: Alright. I mean, I’m not completely convinced. I mean, that’s what you said, that everything was fine. I need more convincing. Listen…I know things are very difficult for you right now. There’s a lot of strain on your relationship with your dad and victoria, but I want to help you. I want to be there for you. And it just seems like you’re pushing me away, that’s all, and especially — especially — if i say one little thing about your family or agree with you about something you’re saying about your family. You take that as a criticism.

Nick: [ Sighs ] I’m having a rough time, okay? And I’m probably not handling it the way I should be. Phyllis, I’m not pushing you away. Alright? I wouldn’t do that.

Phyllis: Okay. It just seemed like that, and I think it was a lot more than, like, old insecurities coming back, that’s all. Um…i am here for you. I’m your partner, you know? Your teammate. I don’t like being distant from you.

Rey: Billy was concerned about a person who’s gone missing. He was looking for advice on what to do next. Listen, what you’re asking me is out of my jurisdiction, but i can approach the proper authorities at that locale.

Billy: Great. Glad to hear you say that.

Rey: Let me finish. I’m gonna need more to go on, more evidence. What you’re offering me right now is purely circumstantial.

Billy: And if I can get you that, you’ll put the right people on the trail?

Rey: We’ll see.

Billy: Thank you. Sharon, good to see you.

Rey: What?

Sharon: Mm, I’m just curious. Why did billy come to you about this?

Devon: Michael, you’re, uh — you’re asking a whole lot.

Michael: Yeah.

Devon: Yeah.

Michael: No doubt. Nobody wants to get on a witness stand and testify under oath and then be mercilessly cross-examined, but if we want to present our case quickly and effectively…

Amanda: Which is exactly what we want. Sutton belongs in prison, and naya and imani, they deserve peace.

Devon: Sure, but what about your life and what about your peace? I think this is something that you should think about before you just make a quick decision.

Amanda: What is there to think about? Sutton is responsible for my father’s death. I owe him no loyalty.

Devon: I know. I know you don’t owe him anything, but you — you have a very strong emotional connection to all this because he’s your grandfather and ’cause he’s the head of this new family that you’ve become part of.

Amanda: A family that is tired of having every aspect of their lives controlled by him.

Devon: Right, I understand this. I just want you to consider what it means to testify in open court and have your words be out there and be public record that you can’t take back. I just want you to think about it. I want you to think about what it means and how it’s gonna affect your relationships with your new family members — with your mom, with your sister. How could it possibly put you in danger if the whole trial goes south and sutton walks and then wants to retaliate? I mean, michael has made it clear that just being a witness is — it’s grueling.

Michael: Yes, yes, grueling. That’s a good word.

[ Sighs ] Your testimony could span several days. This is not a request that i make lightly.

Devon: Right. So do you want to put yourself through that?

[ Cellphone chimes ] Excuse me. Waiting for a message all day. It’s abby. She’s asking me to come to the mansion because of an emergency.

Amanda: Is there a problem with the baby?

Devon: She didn’t say anything about the baby, but i don’t think that she would ask me to come if it wasn’t something serious.

Amanda: Okay, well, it sounds like she needs you. Go. I’ll be fine.

Devon: I don’t feel right leaving. This is a big decision that you need to make.

Amanda: I will take everything that you said into consideration, but please just tell me as soon as you know what’s going on.

Devon: Okay. I love you.

Amanda: Love you, too.

Devon: I’ll see you, michael.

Michael: Bye. Alright. Listen to me. Let’s go over devon’s concerns and yours one at a time. Because I’m convinced this is our best shot at a conviction. If you’re on medicare, remember,

Amanda: We can only assume that if I testify, the defense will say that I am just trying to settle a score with sutton since he forced my mother to give up my twin and me at birth.

Michael: They can try.

Amanda: And how will you counter?

Michael: That the mounting evidence convinced you that sutton was lying about his involvement in richard’s death, so you went in search for the truth, which you found.

Amanda: A confession that’s not an actual confession, michael. All it is is my grandfather making disparaging remarks about my father, saying that he’s a nobody, talking about the “accidents of birth” that he’s willing to sacrifice and how he can live with what he’s done.

Michael: Well, he also said that richard nealon was a problem that needed to be handled, someone who could tear down everything he had worked to build.

Amanda: It’s still his word against mine.

Michael: Yeah, well, your word is backed up by a recording.

Amanda: A recording that the defense is gonna say is inadmissible because of the way that I obtained it.

Michael: Recording that the jury will know exists and that everything you say is true. Otherwise, why would the defense be so adamant about keeping it out of the courtroom and — and if the judge does not allow the recording to be admitted, which is not a given, the jury will still know what’s on it because no one will be able to unhear your sworn testimony. You know as well as I do, if a prosecutor had to rely on a murder suspect’s full confession, it would be virtually impossible to get a conviction. It happens in only the rarest of cases. Sutton’s legal team just has to create reasonable doubt, and believe me, trust me, they’re going in there with a lot of confidence. We have to take the jury on the same journey you took to see sutton for who he is, for exactly who he is. A man who’s capable of having your father killed and then had the audacity to hire you to defend him.

That’s how we win. That’s how we get justice for your father. That and nothing less.

Amanda: Okay. I’ll do it.

Michael: [ Sighs ]

Rey: Billy came to me for the obvious reason — I’m with the police. He needed guidance on how to proceed with a potential missing-persons case.

Sharon: Who’s missing?

Rey: Someone I never heard of. It probably has something to do with a story that billy’s covering.

Sharon: Well, I watched the two of you talking, and it seemed a lot more intense than that, which leads me to wonder if there is more to this. What else did he say?

Rey: Sharon, you heard what i told him. Without more information, there’s nothing I can do for him. It’ll probably turn out to be nothing. There’s no reason for you to get involved.

Billy: Adam.

Adam: Billy.

Billy: Hi, there.

Sally: Hey. I’m gonna call chloe, see if she’s on her way. I don’t want to start without her.

Adam: So, my dad tells me that you made quite the noble gesture in tuscany. You actually deleted the video instead of using it to bury ashland.

Billy: Don’t sound so shocked.

Adam: No. No, you misinterpret, I’m, um — I’m impressed and I’m shocked that you chose to do the right thing.

Billy: Well, you know me, full of surprises. Speaking of surprises, jesse gaines.

Adam: What about him?

Billy: Well, I’m still trying to figure out why he didn’t follow through with his threat to go public with the information that he has. I mean, he’s got the proof to show that ashland built his entire empire with money stolen from a dead woman.

Adam: Ah. So the gesture wasn’t that noble after all. You let gaines be the bad guy.

Billy: Jesse gaines only agreed to come to tuscany because he wanted the opportunity to tell the world exactly who ashland locke really is. And then he just up and vanishes. Sounds mysterious to me.

Adam: Why is it you are always looking for the nefarious side of everything?

Billy: Maybe it’s ’cause every time you’re involved, it’s always nefarious.

Adam: Hmm.

will continue.

Christine: So I just got off the phone with one of my contacts at the bureau. He had some intel on the bombing. Local police and fire department teams are starting a search-and-rescue of the collapsed building. Unfortunately, there’s nothing to report yet.

Abby: Well, maybe he called or texted me.

Ashley: Anything?

Abby: No, not yet, but, look, I know he’s gonna call me. I know that he’s gonna tell me that he wasn’t in that building and that he is okay.

Mariah: I’m sure you’re right, abby.

Ashley: If he’s in a position to reach out, honey, your husband will. I know he would.

Abby: Christine, don’t you know anyone in D.C.? Someone that you could call?

Christine: There’s a supervisor at justice. I just don’t think she would know anything at this point.

Abby: Please just call them, please. I need to know that my husband’s okay.

Christine: Let me reach out to her.

Abby: I’m coming with you.

Ashley: Guess we just wait.

Mariah: [ Sighs ] Look at this little guy. He’s just sleeping through this whole ordeal. You got the right idea, kiddo.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Devon: Hey.

Ashley: Hi, come on in.

Devon: Thank you. I just got abby’s text asking me to come over here. Is everything alright with the baby?

Mariah: Yeah, dominic’s fine.

Ashley: It’s chance. Something’s happened.

Adam: I’m not sure what you’re implying.

Billy: This profound change, this miraculous transformation that you’re claiming you’ve gone through. All of a sudden now you care about your family? You save teenagers from car crashes and donate your organs. It’s all an act, carefully calculated to win hearts and minds, and one heart and mind in particular. And this time, it’s not victor. It’s sharon. Doing everything you can to show her your hidden nobility. You know, I will say, I am impressed with the lengths that you’ve gone to. I think you understand that it had to be big and bold in order to convince everyone that it was real.

Adam: Huh. Well, you just got me all figured out, don’t you?

Billy: You fool a lot of people, adam, just not me. Or anyone else that knows who you are and what you’re capable of, especially those people that understand the history between you and your father. I mean, is there anything you won’t do to get a pat on the head from your dear old dad?

Adam: [ Exhales sharply ] You know, it sounds like you think that I had something to do with gaines going off the grid.

Billy: I didn’t say that. Didn’t mention anything like that at all. But it is interesting that you would go there.

Adam: Maybe he grew a conscious, you know? I mean, that happens. Look at you. Okay, but that was actually a really bad example.

Billy: I don’t think so. I don’t think gaines is the type, and I pride myself on being able to read people.

Adam: I don’t know, maybe he got another offer. Odds are we will never know.

Billy: Yeah. Well, I would take that bet.

Adam: Spoken like a true gambler.

Sally: Am I interrupting?

Billy: Not at all. Enjoy yourself.

Sally: What was that all about? On ancestry I discovered more about my

Michael: Hmm, one more thing to ponder — hilary.

Amanda: What about her?

Michael: Some members of the jury, if not all of them, are likely to know who she was, perhaps were even fans of her show. So when I mention your identical twin who you were deprived of ever meeting or sharing a childhood with…

Amanda: You don’t think that’s manipulative?

Michael: It’s a fact of the case. It’s what they’ll be thinking of in the jury room at 9:00 at night when they’re deliberating over cold pizza. It’s all about breaking through to their humanity, making a decades-old murder case seem as relevant and urgent today as it was when it was committed, and you’ll be there to lead those people, to let them know exactly what sutton ames took from you. Look, are you alright? I mean, we can take a break.

Amanda: Yeah, no, I’M… I’m fine. Thank you, though.

Michael: Are you 100% sure you want to go through with this?

Amanda: I’m committed to testifying, absolutely.

[ Sighs ] I think that I’m starting to feel overwhelmed because i finally feel like we have a shot at winning this case. Michael, for the first time, I feel like I’m gonna get justice for my father and that i will get a conviction and that sutton will finally pay for what he had done, and when that day comes, I will be enormously satisfied.

Michael: Yeah, you will.

Amanda: But I would trade it all for one day with my father.

Phyllis: Where did you go?

Nick: Nowhere interesting.

Phyllis: Oh, come on. You can tell me. Tell me anything.

Nick: Alright. I was just, uh…thinking about being a newman and what that really means. Which is something I thought I’d dealt with a long time ago. It’s not like I’m adam, like the black sheep of the family or like victoria who’s chained to the office, trying to prove she’s the heir to the empire. I’m just doing my own thing, you know? Trying to stay above the fray, not having any real secret ambitions, not feeling like i have to prove myself to my dad one minute, and the next trying to hurt him. Just being me, you know? But it’s like every time there’s a problem in this family, who do they come to? Me. No matter what is going on, I’m always there for them. But I feel like I’m just constantly on the outside.

Phyllis: Yeah. Despite that, you know, any time anyone has a problem, you are there to protect them or defend them or whatever you need to do. I mean, it must be really frustrating for you, with your family, I mean. It’s like you are always there supporting them and showing loyalty and commitment. You’re like the only one, right? But it’s looked at as, you know, weakness or…not taken seriously.

Nick: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Oh, my gosh. Seriously? What did I say? What did I just say?

Nick: I just — I know, okay? I know how much you hate my family, and it’s just — it’s hard to hear how much you can’t stand them.

Adam: Well, it’s a shame chloe couldn’t make it.

Sally: I know. The fashion division is her baby. We should be celebrating together.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] I agree.

Sally: Anyway, what was the deal between you and billy abbott?

Adam: Oh, he was just posturing. As usual. It’s gotten to be kind of a game with us.

Sally: A game?

Adam: Yeah, you know, calling each other out, pushing each other’s buttons. We both claim we’re trying to better ourselves, but neither one of us believes the other is capable of doing it.

Sally: Well, I think you’ve changed your life tremendously. At least from everything I have heard and read.

Adam: I’m working at it.

Sally: But you’re not allowing for the possibility that billy is, too?

Adam: [ Exhales sharply ] There’s a difference. I didn’t like who I was. I think he still misses his reckless lifestyle. I mean, he is a gambler who loses more than he wins. He’s just an addict who has found another way to chase the rush. And he will never forgive me for delia’s death, which there’s nothing I can do about that. And trying to destroy me, it’ll always be one of those rushes for billy.

Sally: I get that.

Adam: Yeah, he’ll never stop grieving the loss of his daughter, never stop blaming me, hating me, which I understand. I do. I earned his hatred. But I will never like the guy or respect the guy. And I’ll sure as hell never trust him.

Sally: Are you afraid of what he might do to you one day?

Billy: Marty. Hey, it’s billy. I’m sorry to bother you again. Do you remember our good friend, jesse gaines? Yeah, well, he’s vanished again, except this time, it’s not his doing. Call it a strong hunch. I think he posed too big of a threat to the newman powers-that-be. Yes, he was in tuscany for the wedding, and that’s where he disappeared during the festivities. My working theory is that victor’s son adam is the one behind it. I talked to the police, but they need more information, and that’s where you come in. I need your investigative talents to find gaines. Drop everything else. You’re the best. Thank you.

Sharon: Now it all makes sense. Why you went to rey.

Devon: I mean, honestly, it’s been hard to try and not prepare myself for something like this happening, just given how dangerous the mission was and how much time chance has been gone.

Ashley: I’ve been afraid of this. I really have been. I mean, the longer this goes on and on, I’ve just been… terrified.

Mariah: Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Tessa: Can’t assume the worst.

Abby: Devon, hey, I’m so happy you could come over.

Devon: Hey, abby. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry to hear this news. Listen, listen to me, listen. None of us are gonna give up, okay? None of us are gonna give up.

Abby: Thank you. I can really use your hope and strength right now.

Phyllis: You know, there is an easy solution to all of this — ignore them. Ignore every single mean thing that your family does to you over and over and over and over again, okay? I mean, you said it yourself, you’re very successful. You’ve built a whole career on your own without your family’s help. Your kids are successful. You are dating a wildly successful woman. Not to mention, I am a knockout. But [Huffs] You don’t seem to look at that. Okay? Just who cares about what your screwed-up family does? Who cares?

Nick: Your go-to solution for any problem is just pretend it doesn’t exist. Well, I can’t do that.

Phyllis: That is not what I’m saying. That’s not what I’m saying.

Nick: This is my family, alright? For better or worse, they’re mine, and I’m dealing with some pretty big issues right now and they’re important to me, and you just want to, like, trivialize them.

Phyllis: I’m not trivializing it. I’m — how dare you say that to me, nick. Seriously.

[ Huffs ] It doesn’t even matter what i say anymore. You always think the absolute worst about me, don’t you? No matter how hard I work to bend over backwards to help you with your family.

Nick: [ Groans ]

Adam: Rest assured, I’m not worried about billy or what he might do to me. But with that said, I mean, things are probably about to get worse between us.

Sally: Why is that?

Adam: Look, like I said, i mean, it’s just — it’s an ongoing thing with me and billy. The details, they don’t really matter. So just I don’t want you to worry.

Sharon: I’ve heard enough of your conversation with your reporter to realize that you’re investigating adam. You obviously believe that he has something to do with this person going missing, and because of that, you went to rey, hoping to dredge the bad blood they’ve had between them in the past.

Billy: That wasn’t my intention, sharon.

Sharon: You used the possibility of getting something on adam to pull rey into this. Whatever your excuse is this time, it’s always something to try to go after him, to try to hurt him. When is this gonna stop with you, billy? When are you gonna let go of your hatred for adam?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Brady: Is johnny kidding with this script? How could marlena be okay with this?

[Knock at door] Lucas, hey.

Lucas: Hey, you got some time?

Brady: Yeah, come on in. So what’s up?

Lucas: What the hell are you trying to pull with chloe?

Chloe: Nicole, hey.

Nicole: Oh, hi, chloe.

Chloe: Oh, is something wrong?

Nicole: Yeah, it’s–it’s abe. He was shot tonight.

Chloe: Oh, yeah, I just saw a headline on the news as I was crossing to the lobby. Is he gonna be okay?

Nicole: Well, according to this, he’s in surgery, but he should make a full recovery.

Chloe: Oh, thank goodness.

Nicole: Yeah, he was right in salem park, and someone took a shot at him.

Chloe: That’s so scary.

Nicole: It is. You know, abe’s the closest thing I have to a father. I–I don’t know what I would do without him in my life. Anyway, what were you doing coming out of the inn?

Chloe: I’m living there for now.

Nicole: I–I thought you were staying with philip.

Chloe: I was.

Nicole: Oh, dear, what happened?

Chloe: He and I had a big fight, and I moved out.

Nicole: What was the fight about?

Chloe: What do you think? Brady.

[Tense music]

Philip: That bastard. I don’t have time now. Whatever it is, it’s gonna have to wait.

Ava: So I guess you heard that the cops picked up jake dimera?

Philip: No, what happened?

Ava: You don’t know? Abe carver was shot today.

[Dramatic music]

Jake: I’m going nuts in here.

Gabi: I know, but at least rafe let me stay with you. It’s the only upside to him being commissioner.

Jake: I just wish I knew what the hell was going on with the mayor considering everything that happened to him is my responsibility.

Gabi: Shh. Do not let rafe hear you say that.

Rafe: What am I not supposed to hear?

Gabi: Oh, is there any news about abe?

Rafe: Huh. As a matter of fact there is. Abe was transferred to the trauma unit at university hospital. They were waiting for him to stabilize before they took him to the or when his heart stopped.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Maggie: Paulina.

Paulina: Yes.

Maggie: We haven’t officially met. I’m maggie horton. I’m an old friend of abe’S.

Paulina: Oh, yes–yes, of– of course. Yeah, abe told me about you. You’ve–what–what a fine person you are.

Maggie: Well, that’s lovely to hear. That’s very nice coming from a wonderful man like abe. I heard what happened, and I wanted to–to offer my support. Is he okay?

Paulina: Oh, maggie, our precious abe.

Maggie: Oh.

Paulina: [Sobbing]

Jake: Oh, my god. Abe’s dead?

Rafe: Technically, yes.

Gabi: What does that mean?

Rafe: He flatlined. They tried to revive him, and, well, finally they did. He’s in surgery now.

Jake: Oh, thank god.

Rafe: Well, why would you tell jake that abe was dead?

Rafe: Has it slipped your mind that I am a cop, okay? I wanted to gauge his reaction.

Gabi: Oh, well, did he pass your little test?

Rafe: Well, I’m not sure yet.

Jake: You had a chance to talk to him?

Rafe: No, I haven’T. He’s not allowed to accept visitors until tomorrow.

Gabi: So he didn’t tell you what happened.

Rafe: No, and in fact, I was hoping to hear that from you. But you realize your best option is telling the truth, all of it?

Gabi: He’s innocent. You have nothing on him.

Rafe: Yet your boyfriend here, he was at the scene of the crime. His fingerprints are all over the gun that was used to shoot abe. So I’ve got plenty on him.

[Tense music]

Philip: What reason would jake have to shoot abe carver?

Ava: I don’t have a clue, but it sure does screw up our plans with jake and gabi, though.

Philip: Kind of hard to hold zanetti’s death over jake’s head if he’s already in jail for shooting abe carver.

Ava: And gabi is not gonna sign gabi chic over to us.

Philip: Because carmine’s not a threat to jake.

Carmine: I wouldn’t be so quick to say that if I was you.

Brady: What happens between chloe and me is none of your business.

Lucas: Philip and i were in the square last night, and we saw you on chloe going in the salem inn together. And you were carrying her suitcase for her very gallant–

Brady: Well, hey, I’m just that kinda guy.

Lucas: Are you also the kinda guy who spends the night with another man’s girlfriend?

Nicole: So what was the fight about?

Chloe: Well, philip punched brady.

Nicole: What?

Chloe: Yeah, he’s acting like a maniac. I feel like I’m back in high school.

Nicole: Sounds beyond adolescent to me. Please tell me you broke it off with him.

Chloe: I did not, but I do feel like we shouldn’t be living under the same roof, and realistically I moved into the kiriakis mansion so I could get back on my feet after my gunshot wound, but now I don’t–i don’t really have any reason to be there, you know.

Nicole: Mm-hmm.

[Phone rings] Oh.

Chloe: Do you need to get that?

Nicole: No, it’s no one important.

Ej: Hi, nicole, just wondering if you’d be interested in having dinner with me tonight? Perhaps the third time’s a charm, and in the interest of avoiding interruptions, you could come here. I actually seem to be home alone.

Kristen: Guess again.

Ej: What are you doing here?

[Tense music]

Gabi: Jake must have touched the gun when he found abe. That’s the only reason his prints could be on the gun.

Rafe: You wanna get kicked out of here?

Gabi: Of course not.

Rafe: Then keep quiet. Now, you didn’t just happen to pick up the gun, did you?

Jake: No.

Rafe: No, because, you know, it’s registered in your name.

Gabi: Yes, but–

Jake: Gabi, I made this mess. It’s up to me to clean it up. I’ll tell you everything I know.

Rafe: Good plan.

Gabi: This is good for him, not good for you. Don’t–don’t say another word. You know that he is allowed to have an attorney present. You know that.

Rafe: Yeah, maybe you should use your one call to lawyer up instead of calling gabi, because she’s really not helping you right now.

Jake: Gabi, he’s gonna talk to the mayor in the morning. He’s gonna find out everything that went down no matter what I do right now. You want the whole story? I’ll give it to you from the beginning.

Philip: How’d you get into this house?

Carmine: Some stiff in a monkey suit opened the door for me.

Philip: Henderson wouldn’t let you come in here.

Carmine: He didn’t want to. I had to lean on him a little bit.

Ava: You’re not even supposed to be in salem. What are you doing here?

Carmine: Nice place you got here.

Philip: Answer the lady’s question.

Carmine: You two both owe me.

[Tense music]

I’m here to collect.

Brady: I’m good friends with chloe. That’s why I was helping her move into the salem inn.

Lucas: Yeah, right.

Brady: I’ve been more than respectful of her relationship with philip.

Lucas: Except when chloe tries to put distance between them, then there you are. You’re always there, right? You’re sleeping in the same bed with her on a business trip. You’re helping her move out of his place. Come on, man.

Brady: Nothing, nothing happened between chloe and me either of those times.

Lucas: Philip is your flesh and blood, brady. He deserves better from you, and you know it.

Nicole: Oh, okay, thank you. Thank you so much. So abe is now out of surgery and in icu and in stable condition.

Chloe: Oh, that’s a relief.

Nicole: Yes, it is.

Chloe: So why are you being so mysterious about that last call that you had before you called the hospital?

Nicole: I wasn’t being mysterious. Okay, fine, fine. It was–it was ej. He invited me to dinner.

Chloe: Oh, and I’m assuming the answer is no?

Nicole: I don’t know.

Chloe: Then why didn’t you take his call?

Nicole: Well, because last night at dinner–

Chloe: You went out with him last night too?

Nicole: Yeah, but I did something a little underhanded.

Chloe: Underhanded? What did you eat an extra bread roll?

Nicole: No, seriously. I-I-I truly did something underhanded. I let–I let steve johnson hack into ej’s phone.

Chloe: What? Why?

Nicole: Because steve is on some mission to track down kristen, and I pray to god that he finds her and throws her behind bars for the rest of her miserable life.

Ej: Kristen, you do know you shouldn’t come within a thousand miles of salem.

Kristen: Yeah, well, I had to see you.

Ej: You’ve been on the run for months. Why now?

Kristen: Well, there’s something I have to do. That. I order my groceries online now.

Paulina: I am just such a mess, as you can see.

Maggie: Well, you’re entitled, and–and so abe, is he gonna be okay?

Paulina: Thank god; he just woke up a few minutes ago. I told him how grateful we were to him for fighting his way back, told him that we loved him. And he–he said it right back.

Maggie: [Gasps]

Paulina: He said “love you” right before he closed his eyes again.

Maggie: Oh, paulina. Oh, I am so relieved to hear this.

Paulina: [Exhales] I was so scared, maggie. Even though abe and I, we haven’t known each other for very long, but he–he’s become such an important part of my life.

Maggie: Well, from what I’ve heard, he feels the same way about you.

Paulina: [Chuckles] Yeah, which makes me very– a very, very, very lucky woman and surprised really, because I never expected to find love at this point in my life.

Maggie: Well, that does my heart good. I’m just so glad that abe too has found love. ‘Cause he has so much to give. That I know.

Paulina: Yes, he does.

Maggie: Well, I-I-I wished that I could see him, but I-I suppose it’s better for me to just wait.

Paulina: Probably–probably at least so he’s a little bit stronger. Yeah, my–my daughter is in there with him now. I mean, my–no, my niece, lonnie, she–I’m sorry. I don’t know what I’m saying.

Maggie: Well, you’ve been through a lot.

Paulina: Yeah, not as much as poor abe has, though.

Maggie: Paulina, do they know how it happened? I mean–I mean, how he got shot, who shot him?

Paulina: Nope–nope, nobody knows. Nobody knows yet, but you just wait till I get my hands on whoever’s that is to blame.

Gabi: But there’s something that you don’t know. Philip is trying to find dirt to use against jake.

Rafe: Why?

Gabi: Because he wants to blackmail me into signing over gabi chic to him.

Rafe: Okay, what does this have to do with abe? And I thought that I was talking to you.

Jake: Okay, it’s like gabi said, philip’s trying to dig up dirt on me to use against her. So he looked up an old coworker of mine in philly.

Rafe: Uh-huh.

Jake: His name’s carmine.

Rafe: Carmine what?

Jake: Marlino.

Rafe: Okay, is carmine mobbed up?

Jake: Yeah.

Rafe: What’s he have on you?

Jake: Nothing. But philip convinced him to go on record saying I took out a guy we both knew.

Rafe: Yeah, what’s his name?

Jake: Jed zanetti.

Rafe: So in addition to the attempted murder charges that you’re facing here, you’re also wanted for murder in another jurisdiction?

Gabi: He told you he didn’t do it.

Rafe: Did I not tell you to keep quiet or you’re getting kicked out of here?

Jake: All right, look. Carmine is trying to pin zanetti’s death on me, and philip is more than happy to help him do it.

Rafe: What does all this have to do with abe?

Jake: All right. So I called carmine to come to salem, have a sit-down. I was hoping maybe I could reason with him.

Rafe: Oh. Was he reasonable?

Jake: No. So I–i sort of threatened him.

Rafe: Ahh. So that’s why you had your gun.

Jake: Yeah, but man, I wasn’t gonna hurt him. I just wanted him to go away. Leave us alone. Carmine knew I was bluffing.

Gabi: He knows that jake’s no killer.

Jake: Carmine, he wrestled the gun away from me, and that’s when abe walked up. He saw what was going on. He sized up the situation, tried to intervene. That’s when carmine turned on him and shot him point-blank.

Rafe: Hmm. Yeah, then what happened?

Jake: Carmine dropped the gun, and he ran. I stayed and called 911.

Gabi: No, he also gave abe cpr, which I think saved his life. Now, if he shot abe, do you think he’d really stick around to do that? He is telling you the truth. You know that.

Philip: If you think you can shake me down for more money you’re dreaming.

Carmine: I’m in a mess because of you too. You wanted me to finger jake for offing jed zanetti.

Ava: What kind of mess?

Carmine: Jake, he got word to me that he wanted a meeting. So I showed up.

Ava: Without clearing it with me?

Carmine: We figured it wouldn’t be a problem, but the little sob started waving a gun around. After that, things got a little out of hand.

Ava: How out of hand?

Carmine: I grabbed the gun. Some guy walks in out of nowhere. He ended up getting shot.

Philip: A guy you shot is the mayor of this town, you idiot. Jake’s in jail for shooting him.

Carmine: I’m aware.

Ava: Okay, so who did shoot the mayor, carmine?

Carmine: It was the gun. It just went off. It was an accident.

Philip: You shot abe carver?

Carmine: It was not my fault he caught a bullet. The way I see it, it’s your problem.

Lucas: So philip sent you here to fight his battle for him?

Brady: He doesn’t even know I’m here right now.

Luc you know what? Chloe is–is probably the best thing that’s happened to him in a long time. And from what I heard, you had your chance with chloe, and you blew it, right?

Brady: Lucas, I was in a committed relationship. I couldn’t tell chloe that–that I wanted her as much as she wanted me.

Lucas: Great, great. Good for you. You finally figured out that kristen’s no good. But it doesn’t give you the right to steal philip’s girlfriend.

Brady: Let me ask you something. Have you–have you asked chloe what she wants? All right, I didn’t think so. I mean, how could you face her, right? Sami didn’t want ej to find out the two of you had slept together, so she talked you into romancing chloe as a cover. I don’t think you cared about chloe’s feelings then. I sure as hell don’t think you care about them now, lucas.

Lucas: Listen to me. I’m not proud about what I did, okay? But we all know why sami did what she did, because of kristen, because of your girlfriend. What did she do? She kidnapped chloe and threw her in the trunk of my mom’s car. And then what, gets shot by jan spears? Face it, man. As long as kristen’s out there, you’re a walking death threat to chloe, and you know it.

Chloe: Why is steve johnson trying to track down kristen all of a sudden?

Nicole: I don’t know, and I don’t care. I just want him to find her and lock her up.

Chloe: Okay, then why are you feeling guilty?

Nicole: Well, because I–I don’t like going behind ej’s back. But I don’t feel one bit of guilt about outing kristen, because I don’t owe that bitch anything for what she did to me.

Chloe: You’re not gonna get an argument from me. As far as I’m concerned, I hope steve is slapping some handcuffs on her right now.

Nicole: Right?

Ej: You risked your life to come back here and slap my face. Why?

Kristen: Don’t tell me you weren’t in on it.

Ej: In on what?

Kristen: I have been off the grid for months. And then all of sudden I get a message that steve johnson is breathing down my neck. I barely got out ahead of him.

Ej: Then why in god’s name did you come back here?

Kristen: Because it turns out he traced my location from the phone number I gave you. Oh, I have risked everything, everything to tell you that sami betrayed you. And I did it because I trusted you.

Ej: Do you really think I would ever give you up to steve johnson or anyone else for that matter?

Kristen: Oh, my god. Then–then if you didn’t, then how did he get my number?

Ej: I don’t know. May…

[Exhales] Bloody hell. I think I know how it happened. Want your clothes to smell freshly washed

Kristen: You know how steve johnson got my number?

Ej: I was having dinner out last night. Steve johnson and his wife came over to my table ostensibly to say hello.

Kristen: Why? They hate you?

Ej: Right? And that soon became apparent. Kayla johnson was sloppy drunk. She knocked over my wine glasses, splashed wine all over my shirt. I looked a mess, so I ran to the men’s room to clean up. I realize now I left my phone on the table.

Kristen: You idiot. Kayla probably wasn’t even drunk. Come on, they set you up. I can’t believe you left your phone alone with those nosy do-gooders.

Ej: Actually, they weren’t alone.

Chloe: So what’s the deal with you and ej? Are you guys, like, seeing each other?

Nicole: Well, we went out to dinner a couple of times. It is a little weird, ’cause he’s my boss.

Chloe: Not to mention your ex, so how’s it going?

Nicole: Well, the first time we ran into rafe and ava, and then ej and rafe had words.

Chloe: Over you?

Nicole: Over me, over sami. Oh, they just hate each other. And then there was that whole thing with steve and kayla that happened.

Chloe: Hmm, do you think that maybe all these interruptions might be a sign?

Nicole: Mm, ej’s message said that he wanted to do a do-over.

Chloe: And what do you think?

Nicole: I think that I want to give it a try, you know. Ej’s trying to put his life back together, and so am I.

Chloe: So are two just commiserating?

Nicole: Well, he– he did kiss me.

Chloe: Ah, nicole.

Nicole: What?

Chloe: Look, I know that you’ve felt lonely since eric left, but come on. There are more guys in this town other than xander and ej.

Nicole: Yeah, believe me, I know.

Chloe: What’s that supposed to mean?

Nicole: It means I need a distraction.

Chloe: From thinking about eric?

Nicole: Mm, it’s not that simple.

Chloe: What do you mean?

Nicole: The one person I can’t stop thinking about is rafe.

Rafe: Well, jake, your story has some believable elements. That would explain the additional prints that were found on the gun.

Gabi: What additional prints? You never mentioned additional prints.

Rafe: You know, if his story is true, you shouldn’t act surprised, okay? We weren’t able to match the prints, but now that we have carmine’s name, we might have the physical evidence, and his story might bear out to be true.

Jake: It is.

Rafe: Okay, any idea where carmine is now?

Gabi: Oh, if it were me, the first person I’d check in with is philip kiriakis.

Philip: You shot the mayor, and you think it’s my problem?

Carmine: Yeah, if it wasn’t for you and her, I’d still be in philly minding my own business.

Ava: We didn’t ask you to come to salem to shoot the mayor. We didn’t ask you to come to salem at all.

Carmine: I told you. Jake got me here. He pulled a gun on me, and I had to take it away from him.

Ava: You didn’t have to use it on the mayor.

Carmine: I was defending myself.

Philip: Nah, I don’t think the mayor is gonna see it that way, and I guarantee jake won’T.

Ava: You know that he’s in custody right now, right? He’s probably singing like he’s on broadway. And it’s all about you.

Carmine: Cops pick me up, I’ll have my own song to sing. So you two better take care of me.

Philip: What do you want?

Carmine: This place looks like it’s got a hundred rooms. Hide me out in one until this blows over.

Philip: I’ll have to think about it.

Carmine: Well, while you’re thinking about it, where’s the gents? It’s been a long day.

Philip: Out the door to the left, second door on the right.

Ava: So what the hell are we gonna do now?

Get ready. It’s time for

the savings event of the year.

Maggie: Paulina, I know what it’s like when you want to take revenge on someone who hurts the person that you love. But I think it would be better for you to let the police take care of whoever did this to abe and for you to focus on abe’s recovery and yourself.

Paulina: Yeah, you’re right. You’re right, maggie. You are right. I wanna let go of this anger and throw all my energy into helping abe to heal.

Maggie: Well, I hope so for your sake as well as abe’S.

Paulina: You are a very wise woman. And beautiful too.

Maggie: Thank you. So are you.

Paulina: Anybody ever tell you you look like bonnie raitt?

Maggie: Actually, you’re the first. Hmm, that’s quite a compliment. I am a big fan of hers.

Paulina: Oh?

Maggie: Yeah.

Paulina: Oh, well, then hey, well, you know, maybe when abe gets back on his feet, we can all go to a monterey karaoke together?

Maggie: Oh, oh, I’d love that.

Paulina: We give them something to talk about.

Marlena: Mm-hmm, damn right.

Paulina: [Laughs]

Jake: When you talk to the mayor I swear he’s gonna back up everything I said.

Rafe: Mm-hmm. Oh, even if he does, you’re not off the hook. You brought a loaded gun and a mobster to the park. And because of you abe carver almost died.

Jake: What are you gonna charge me with?

Rafe: Well, I don’t know yet. But if you know what’s good for you, you will walk away from this criminal and never look back.

Chloe: You do have a thing for rafe. I knew it. Why didn’t you tell me?

Nicole: Because it’s–it’s complicated, you know. I wasn’t even clear about it myself, and rafe and I have known each other for so long. You know, he’s–he’s that guy that you–you turn to when things are awful. But I-I was married to the love of my life, or so I thought. Then eric kept staying in–in africa longer and longer, and I started to see rafe differently, but I was still married. And then my–my marriage blew up and then I-I was miserable and guilty. You know, by the time I sorted out my feelings, rafe was with ava. And ava is starting a new life and a new beginning. And she’s my friend too.

Chloe: Do you know what I’m wondering?

Nicole: Oh, I can only imagine.

Chloe: I’m just wondering if that night that eric told you he wasn’t coming home again if you would have run into rafe instead of xander.

Nicole: Well, I think rafe would’ve seen how angry and hurt and drunk I was. And he would have gotten me home and into bed alone.

Chloe: Because he’s an honorable man.

Nicole: And because he was finding something with ava.

Chloe: So you don’t think that he deserves to know how you feel about him?

Nicole: No. No, chloe, I can’T. I just I–I can’T.

Chloe: Hmm, so you’re dating ej instead. That makes a lot of sense.

Nicole: About as much sense as you wanting brady and dating philip.

Chloe: Brady was in love with kristen.

Nicole: Yep, not anymore.

Chloe: Look, I really–i really like philip. When he’s not acting like a jealous idiot, he can be really sweet and romantic, and we just have a really long history.

Nicole: So do ej and I.

Chloe: And he’s hurt you over and over again.

Nicole: But that’s because sami was in the picture, and now she’s not.

Chloe: For how long? Oh, come on, nicole.

Nicole: Look, you know, a long time ago I was so, so in love with ej. Maybe I can love him again.

Chloe: Mm, assuming it’s not doomed to begin with.

Nicole: What is that supposed to mean?

Chloe: What if he finds out that you double-crossed him and his crazy sister? I mean, he’s still a dangerous man. He’s turned on you before, and god knows if kristen finds out that you helped steve track her down…

Nicole: Kristen is in hiding. She is nowhere near salem.

Chloe: But if steve finds her, she won’t be in hiding anymore.

Kristen: Stop stalling, ej. Who else was at the table when steve hacked your phone?

Ej: It was a dinner date.

Kristen: Name?

Ej: It was a business associate. Steve obviously duped that person into leaving the table.

Kristen: Hmm, and then he hacked your phone that you so stupidly left in plain sight. Oh, I don’t know who I hate more in this moment, steve johnson or you.

Ej: I suggest you turn your wrath on johnson, because right now I’m all you’ve got.

Kristen: Then you better hide me until all this blows over or I swear on my daughter’s life I will take you down with me.

Nicole: Look, I don’t care about kristen. She’s on the ropes, and she knows it. And she needs to keep running, because if they find her, they’re gonna throw her in jail and put her in a prison that she can’t escape from.

Chloe: Mm, we can only hope.

Nicole: And I–I think ej would understand why I did what I did if he finds out, but hopefully he won’T.

Chloe: Mm, then why aren’t you returning his calls?

Nicole: Because I was shocked about abe, and i just needed some time to think. But ej’s message sounded fine, and, you know, maybe I should take him up on his dinner invitation. Maybe I should go to his house right now.

Brady: Look, I hate what kristen put chloe through. It’s a big part of the reason why I broke it off with her, but will you do me a favor? Kristen’s daughter is asleep right down the hall. So if you’re gonna trash-talk her mother try to keep it down a little bit.

Lucas: I’m sorry, all right? I really am. I’m sorry, but–

Brady: Look, lucas, the bottom line is, you got–you got no right to point fingers at me, and neither does philip. And if he really wants to know what happened between chloe and me last night, then tell him to man up and come and ask me himself, or he can go to chloe and ask her. Either way, his choice. I’ve got moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Lucas: Why should philip ask you about anything? You’re just gonna lie to him like you just did to me.

Brady: Hey, you know what? Damn it. You–you and– you and philip, you can believe whatever you wanna believe. That’s fine. I’ll tell you what. You know what? Make his night. Go tell him to challenge me to a duel, pistols at dawn. Let’s do this.

Lucas: I never thought I’d say this, but you are one cold son of a bitch, aren’t you?

Brady: [Laughs] Get the hell out of here, man.

[Sighs]

Philip: Will you please calm down? Jake’s the one who brought carmine to salem. You and I didn’t even know about it.

Ava: Oh, you think that gabi is gonna let jake take the rap? She hates my guts. Damn, I-I-I don’t know why I agreed to help you. I don’t know what I was thinking.

Philip: I thought you had nerves of steel.

Ava: Rafe cannot find out that I am mixed up in what happened to abe carver.

Philip: So what do you want to do?

Ava: We gotta keep carmine quiet, which means you need to do what he wants.

Philip: I can’t hide him here. He came through the freaking front door. You think henderson is not gonna tell my father about my houseguest the mobster? I mean, you know how to disappear people. You get rid of carmine.

Ava: All right, I will.

Philip: Call me when it’s handled.

Ava: Wait, hey, hey, where you think you’re going?

Philip: [Exhales] You started this. You handle it. I’ve got places to go, people to see.

Chloe: So ej wants you to come to come to his house for dinner, huh?

Nicole: Well, he said he’d be there alone.

Chloe: So you’re just gonna show up at his doorstep? You’re not gonna call him?

Nicole: Well, it’s not like he’s gonna be cooking on his own. Besides, I–I know ej. He likes surprises.

Ej: I can’t hide you here in this house. If you want to stay, you’ll have to stay in the secret room.

Kristen: Well, it’s not exactly secret anymore.

Ej: You saw to that. So there’s no good hiding place for you here. Damn it, kristen. I thought you were smarter than to flee to your family home. I’m sure steve johnson will be knocking on the door anytime soon.

Kristen: What do you take me for, an amateur? I-I left a bogus trail to keep him busy for months. Oh, god. I did. I did. Have you ever read “the purloined letter”?

Ej: The what?

Kristen: Edgar allen poe. The guy hides a letter in plain sight, and it works out great. Nobody would ever think that I’d come back here.

Ej: I’ll organize some bedding. I assume you still know your way to the wine cellar?

Kristen: Right.

Ej: Where are you going?

Kristen: Brady’s, of course.

Ej: [Laughs] I’m beginning to think you’ve lost your grip. If brady sees you, he’ll turn you in.

Kristen: Brady is not going to see me. I didn’t come all the way back here without seeing my little girl. She’s all I have to live for.

Ej: Kristen, you’re making a big mistake.

Kristen: I just have to look at her. Just for a moment while she’s sleeping. No one will ever know I’m there.

Ej: [Sighs] I know I can’t change your mind.

Kristen: By george, I think he’s got it.

[Tense music]

As a dj, I know all about customization.

Gabi: I–I love jake. Are you kidding me? You can’t just order me to leave him.

Rafe: Look at the stats on the man. He’s in the mob.

Gabi: Look who’s talking, mister I’m shacked up with jake’s ex-mob boss.

Jake: Gabi, it’s not–

Gabi: No, no, no, he needs to know the truth.

Rafe: You’re gonna go off on ava again? You can save your breath, okay?

Gabi: Oh, no, you think that all she does is have sex with you and make lasagna? Do you know why abe got shot? How did philip get in touch with carmine? It was your girlfriend, ava. She gave him that information. She is in this up to her neck.

Ava: Oh, took you long enough.

Carmine: Took a little tour of the house on the way back. Where’s kiriakis?

Ava: Don’t worry about it. I’m gonna take care of your arrangements.

Carmine: You better.

Ava: Let’s get something straight. I may be out of the life, but I am still your boss. And you’re acting pretty cocky for just a hired goon. So remember, I can still, squash you like a little bug. Let’s get outta here.

Brady: That jackass still thinks I slept with chloe. I’ve got to warn her. Where’s my… where’s your phone, brady?

[Ominous music]

[Doorbell rings]

Ej: I’ve got it, harold.

Nicole: Surprise.

Ej: Nicole, I was just thinking about you.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Paulina: Shouldn’t we have heard something by now? What’s taking so long?

Lani: I’m sure we will hear something soon.

Paulina: Yeah. Well. I can’t wait around here any longer. I’m going to get some answers.

Lani: No, wait. Auntie, wait. No, you’ll just get in the doctors’ way.

Paulina: So I’m supposed to stand around here not knowing if abe’s alive or–

Eli: Auntie paulina, this isn’t helping, okay? You gotta get it together.

Paulina: Right. Right. I know. I know. But I’m losing my mind worrying about abe.

Eli: You stay here with lani. I’ll see what I can find out.

Kayla: We’re losing too much blood into his chest cavity. Start two large-bore ivs. Type and cross four units. I’m gonna place a chest tube.

[Beeping] Ah, we’re losing him! We need to start cpr. If we can’t get him to the or, I need to keep the chest tube in here! We need that blood.

John: I know who you are, and I’m ready for you. And I swear to god I will battle you for my wife, and I will defeat you just like I did the last time.

Demon marlena: Aren’t you the clever one, john black? There’s nothing you can do about it.

John: No.

Demon marlena: Your precious marlena is mine now.

John: My dear god.

Demon marlena: You have confused me with the other guy. Let me clarify for you.

[Eerie music]

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

[Soft orchestration]

John: Leave her alone. Release her this instant!

Demon marlena: After all the time I put into possessing her? I think not.

John: Doc? Can you hear me? I’m here to help you, doc. I will never give up on you!

Demon marlena: One more step, and I will hurt her.

John: I won’t let you do that.

Demon marlena: How do you plan to stop me? Holy water? Really? You think I hadn’t prepared for that?

[Sizzling] Any better ideas?

Julie: I just heard. I just– paulina, I’m so sorry.

Paulina: Thank you.

Julie: I just left marlena at st. Luke’S. And we each lit a candle for abraham.

Lani: Thank you, julie. We–we really appreciate that.

Julie: Had to elbow my way through a bunch of reporters down there in the lobby.

Paulina: Bunch of damned vultures. That’s what they are.

Julie: No, no, just put that out of your mind, paulina, and you just focus on abe. Maybe by now, he’s past the worst of it.

Kayla: And again. Clear! Come on. Come on.

Nurse: Sir, you can’t be in here.

Eli: I’m salem pd. Kayla, what–what is going on?

Kayla: He’s gone.

[Flatline beeping]

[Mystical music]

Abe: Lexie?

Lexie: Hello, abe. I thought I was managing my moderate

John: In the name of the father, and of the son, and of the holy spirit–

Demon marlena: Knock it off! Your meaningless prayer is not gonna help marlena! And, in fact, it’s making me want to hurt her more.

John: Please don’t! Don’T.

Demon marlena: Then do as I say! All I’ve gotta do is snap my fingers, and I can stop marlena’s heart cold.

John: No, you won’t!

Demon marlena: Oh, yes. It’s what I would’ve done to doug if marlena hadn’t listened to reason.

John: What does that mean?

Demon marlena: It means we struck a bargain. I wouldn’t kill marlena’s friend, doug, if she would let me back in.

John: So that was it.

Demon marlena: Because she couldn’t bear to have her dear friend die. That’s just the kind of person she is. So we’re together again.

John: I don’t understand. It’s been over 25 years. Why would you come back for her now?

Julie: Paulina, you’re going to wear a groove in the linoleum. Why don’t you just sit with us for a while?

Paulina: All right. All right. For a while.

Julie: You know, I understand that you and abe are engaged. I haven’t had a chance to congratulate you yet.

Paulina: Thank you. We’re very happy. Or we were.

Julie: You know, abe has been a dear friend to my husband and me for such a long time, but that’s just one of the reasons we were so thrilled when eli married lani. They made it official we’re really family.

Paulina: Well, how long have you and your husband known abe?

Julie: Oh my, let me see. Well, he was still a cop. Actually, he was working on a case that involved my son, david, eli’s father. It just hit me. Abe has been a part of our lives for 40 years. And I know that he’s gonna be around for many, many more.

Eli: It’s not possible.

Kayla: I’m sorry, there’s no heartbeat.

Eli: So that’s it? There’s nothing else you can do? Kayla, please!

Kayla: It’s a long shot, but I’m going to keep going. I’m not gonna give up. Come on, abe! Come on!

Abe: Lexie. Oh, my god. It’s been ten years since I lost you, but not a day’s gone by that I–that I don’t think of you, that I miss you. You’re still in my heart and in theo’s, our precious son. He’s so kind, gentle, and when he smiles, there you are, my sweet lexie.

Lexie: You raised him well, abe.

Abe: Oh, no, no. I won’t take credit, not all of it. You were there, as I said, and you are in his heart and in his smile. You’re there always. Always, always. We do it every night.

Demon marlena: You know, the first time I took control of marlena, she was alone. She was in despair. Made my job so easy. But now–

John: But now, marlena is surrounded by people who really love her.

Demon marlena: Yes. A very effective shield. And when the two of you were so deeply in love, I’ve never seen her so strong as she became then. I know the dark days when she was under the spell of andre dimera. Wow, she was so distraught when she killed all those innocent civilians in salem, starting with abe, of course. But then it turned out that everybody was alive, even abe. But I guess abe isn’t so lucky now, is he?

Paulina: 40 years, that’s a long time to know somebody.

Julie: Well, time flies by, but I must tell you, abraham has not changed very much. He was always a wonderful man.

Paulina: I feel you. When I first set eyes on abraham, it was eight months ago, but I feel like I’ve known him forever.

Lani: Auntie, this is my father.

Paulina: So this is the famous abraham carver. The man who knocked up my sister. And if you’d have told me that I’d be engaged to him eight months later… I–I can’t–I can’t– I can’t lose him. I can’t lose him now.

Lani: Auntie, you’re not gonna lose him, and neither am I.

Paulina: Oh, well, it’s about time! Now, what did you find out? Is abraham gonna be all right?

[Flatline beeping]

Kayla: Come on, abe! Come back to us. Do you hear me? Come on! Come on.

Abe: Oh, just the other day, I was looking through an old photo album, and there we were, just the two of us. You know, 20 years ago, we were so young, so in love. And then– then there were three of us.

Lexie: You and me and our precious theo.

Abe: Yes. Yes. Theo. Theo had finally arrived. Look, I also know that I overreacted in dr. Bader’s office. But I just hate talking about our love life and our trying to conceive a child in just such cold, clinical terms.

Lexie: I know it’s not easy for you. But, honey, I really think we’ve found a way to make it work. Yeah.

Abe: Well, I tell you what, I am all for this way of making it work. Science and spontaneous passion, that’s an unbeatable combination, just like you and me.

Lexie: I want us to have a baby so much, abe. I just–no matter what we have to do, okay?

Abe: So do I. So do I. But even if we don’t, I still have you and me. And that’s enough for me. Come here. It took years, but it was so well worth the wait.

Lexie: I’m sorry about what happened at the hospital.

Abe: Ah, the only thing that matters is that you came home with me.

Lexie: Yeah.

Abe: Hey, you said you wanted to tell me something.

Lexie: Yeah. I decided to wait until we came here because the last time I was here– something happened today, and it happened after we decided to try again. I think it’s a sign, abe. No, no, no, it’s more than a sign. It’s a gift. I wanted so badly for it to happen that I let it come between us. And the moment that I was willing to just let it go, it happened!

Abe: Why don’t you come on and just tell me, will you?

Lexie: Honey, we’re having a baby!

Abe: And then, nine months later, there he was, our theo, our miracle. And you live on in him, my love, and so will we both. So will we both. I’ve lost count of how many asthma attacks I’ve had.

Abe: You know, there was another photo album. There were pictures of us. And I saw, in those pictures, the sadness in our eyes. And it made me wish that I had been kinder, more compassionate. And I saw that, with some benefit of time and perspective, what kind of struggle you had, how much you had to overcome.

Lexie: Honey, I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Abe: How long ago did you know about the baby switch? Wow, so you still can’t tell the truth, can you? Don’t even–don’t–don’t answer ’cause it doesn’t matter what you say. I can’t believe you. You know, money may have bought silence from barb reiber. It’s not gonna buy you love, or happiness, or another child.

Lexie: Abe, I–

Abe: You said I didn’t put our family first, but you put yourself ahead of bo and hope, glen and barb, me, and most important, zack. You were willing to let zack and jt go through their whole lives and not know who their biological parents were, who love them and want them desperately because you were just so jealous, so selfish. And you were–you were willing to do–do more than lie. So where did that get you, huh? Where did that get us? I’m sick–I am sick when I thinking of what you did. I’m sicker still when I think of what I just did. Oh, my god–oh my god. We just talked about–we talked about forever–forever. When it should have been never. Difficult times, as there always are, but the hardest thing of all, for me, was losing you.

Eli: They’re still working on him. Kayla said it could be a while.

Paulina: Oh, I don’t have a good feeling about this.

Julie: You know, paulina, there’s a place right across the street that could give us all some comfort.

Paulina: Oh, where’s that?

Julie: St. Luke’s church. There’s not much we do for abraham here, but I know he could use our prayers.

Demon marlena: Marlena hated herself for being andre’s pawn. That’s when I thought I had my chance, but then it turned out that all those supposed victims of hers were alive, and she was blameless.

John: That’s right. And she and i got back together after that. Remember that, doc?

Demon marlena: There is no doc. There is only what I create.

John: I’ll never believe it.

Demon marlena: Well, then you’re a fool. I have waited and waited for years, and I finally got my chance. My old friend stefano dimera created a situation, and marlena believed that you had been killed by a hit-and-run driver, and she was distraught.

John: Until she found out that I was alive.

Demon marlena: Yes. And you found your way back together as you always do over and over and over. And then I found doug. He was perfect. Doug then became my target.

John: Oh, so you possessed him. He was the one that was doing all those things to julie. My god! When I think of all the times he tried to warn me about marlena.

Demon marlena: He did try to warn you, but you wouldn’t listen. But I was afraid at some point you might believe him. So I clocked julie over the head and I framed doug for it.

John: And that’s why he’s in bayview.

Demon marlena: I had marlena commit him there long-term. He can’t have anybody come to see him. He can’t even have his cute but annoying wife come to visit. So doug was the only person who knew about me, and he was taken care of. But now you know about me, and that’s a problem.

Lani: I have been putting off calling theo and brandon, but I don’t think I should wait anymore.

Eli: Come over here so we can talk.

Lani: I really hate having to break the news to theo. He’s so far away.

Eli: You want me to make the call?

Lani: No. Just don’t leave.

[Line trilling] Hi. Hey, theo, I am so sorry to wake you up in the middle of the night. Yeah. Theo, something happened. It’s dad.

Paulina: Oh. Damn it!

Julie: Slippery thing, isn’t it? Let me get that.

Paulina: Nice try. I’m usually the queen of together. I never fall apart.

Julie: Well, women like us always think we have to be the strong ones. But when something like this happens, it’s good to remember we’re only human.

Paulina: I hate being so helpless.

Julie: Yeah. I understand. The sanitarium where doug is, they– the doctors won’t let me see him.

Paulina: What? You’re his wife.

Julie: Well, they say he’s not himself. And they say he’s a danger to me.

Paulina: They say?

Julie: It’s killing me, paulina. I’m not there to hold him and tell him I’ll always love him.

Paulina: You want to get into that hospital? I know a lawyer. He can get anybody in anywhere.

Julie: Oh, honey, thank you. I’ll think about it.

Paulina: You do that.

Julie: You know, paulina, I believe– I believe that abe and doug feel that we’re with them. I mean, we don’t have to be in the same room for them to know how much we love them. They want to be with us just like we want to be with them. But until we can hold them, can we just be there for each other? I mean, we sort of get each other, don’t we?

Paulina: Yeah. You and me, we got the same chip.

Julie: [Laughs] Right.

Paulina: Thank you, my friend.

Julie: Oh, ohh.

Abe: You were so brave, selfless. With your big heart, you wanted to make it easier for me to lose you. And I wanted you to believe that you had succeeded. You really hadn’T. It’s getting a little chilly out here. You know what, I think I’m gonna run in and get us another blanket, okay? Lex? Come on, sweetheart. Just wake up. Lex? Lexie? Lexie? Lexie? Wake up. Wake up. Wake up, sweetheart. Oh, god. Oh, god. Oh, god! Oh, god! Oh, god! Oh, god. But now, my love, we’ll be together again.

Lexie: No, abe. We can’T.

Demon marlena: I knew it wouldn’t take you long to figure out there was something very wrong with marlena. After all, you’ve been through it before. But, in fairness, I have picked up some new techniques over the decades.

John: Well, your new techniques, they’re not gonna help you hold onto doc any more than your old ones did. I beat you once, and I’m gonna beat you again because the love that doc and i share is stronger than any bond you will ever have on her. And I’m gonna get my wife back. And I’m not gonna leave this church until I take her with me. On the outside, I looked fine.

Demon marlena: You’re wasting your time. Marlena has given herself to me completely. She is lost to you.

John: I’ll never believe that. Listen to me, doc! I know what you’re going through right now, and I’m here fighting for you. Don’t surrender!

Demon marlena: She can’t hear you! Don’t you know that?

Marlena: Yes, I can!

John: I love you, doc!

Marlena: I hear you, and I feel you. Your love is making me stronger. I’m–I’m trying, john.

John: Doc!

Demon marlena: Silence!

[Tense music]

Paulina: How’d your brother take the news?

Lani: He sounded all right. I could tell that he was scared. But he’s gonna get on the first flight from johannesburg.

Julie: Good. Did you reach brandon?

Lani: No. I had to leave a message.

Julie: Well, I hope he can make it too. It’s so important for abe to have his children around him.

Lani: Yeah.

Julie: Just a blessing that you’re here, lani. I hope you know how much your father loves you. Crazy about you.

Lani: He is the dad that I have always dreamed of. He and I were robbed of so much. This can’t be the end because I don’t know how I will stand it.

Abe: We can’t be together? I don’t want to leave you.

Lexie: I’ll be here, my darling, waiting. But it’s not your time yet. I think you know that.

Abe: Yes, I know it. I know it now. My children– my children need me and my grandchildren, my friends, paulina. I know I have to go back.

Lexie: And so you will, my love.

Abe: God bless you, lexie. I’ll be seeing you in my heart, and so will theo. I will be seeing you in his smile.

[Flatline beeping]

Kayla: Come on, come on.

Nurse: Dr. Johnson, we’ve been at this for a while. I think it’s time to call it.

Kayla: I know. Time of death–

[Heart monitor beeping] Oh, abe! Abe, can you hear me?

Nurse: We have a heartbeat!

Kayla: Oh, oh, abe. Facing expensive vitamin c creams with dull results?

Demon marlena: I have waited a lifetime for this.

Marlena: No, please. Don’t kill him. I won’t let you kill him!

Demon marlena: Ahh! All right, fine. I won’t kill him. At least not yet. He may be useful in some way. But I certainly can’t leave him here in this condition. Ugh.

Lani: Oh, hey, kayla, how is he? How’s my dad?

Kayla: Well, it was intense for a while, and he still needs to go to surgery.

Paulina: But?

Kayla: But I am very optimistic that he’s gonna pull through.

Paulina: Oh, ohh! Wonderful! Thank god! Oh!

Lani: Can we see him?

Kayla: Just for a short time, all right? I mean, he’s been through a major trauma, and he’s very weak.

Lani: I won’t stay long, okay? It’s just–thank you. Kayla, thank you. Thank you so much. Can my aunt come with me?

Paulina: I’ll be quiet as a mouse. I swear.

Kayla: Okay. This way.

Paulina: Oh!

Abe: Paulina.

Paulina: I’m right here, right here, and so is lani.

Abe: Lani–

Lani: Don’t talk. Don’t talk, dad. Opening your eyes is enough for me. You know, you gave everyone a real scare. But you’re gonna be okay.

Paulina: Thank you for fighting your way back to us. We love you so much.

Abe: I love you.

Lani: I love you, dad.

Abe: I love you.

Brooke: Wow! You’re here bright and early.

Donna: Oh. Uh yeah, just you know, got a lot of work. Figured I’d get a jump start.

Brooke: Eric’s not in yet?

Donna: No, um, must’ve had a big night. With quinn.

Quinn: Mmm… my gorgeous, sexy husband.

Hope: So, yesterday was a strange turn of events.

Finn: I’d say. Where do we even begin? It’s all I could think about last night.

Hope: Thank you for inviting me over because I have been dying to talk to you about this especially before i bring it up to liam.

Finn: Yeah, I haven’t mentioned anything to steffy either.

Hope: Yeah, I am still trying to process everything…

Finn: What the hell was that, hope? We went to il giardino to have a bite for lunch and run into deacon and my mother, the two of them are together?

Hope: So, do you think it’s true? I mean, my dad and sheila? Are they really a couple?

Sheila: Good morning, deacon. How’s that couch treating you, huh?

Deacon: Well, it’s a hell of a lot better than sleeping on the street. That’s for sure.

Sheila: You’re welcome.

Deacon: All right, don’t act like you’re letting me crash here because i don’t have any cash. We both know it’s so that I can sign on to your crazy scheme.

Sheila: You know what, I really thought that you wanted to be a part of hope and your granddaughter’s lives.

Deacon: I do. I just don’t have a hell of a lot to offer right now.

Sheila: You’re her only father and… and we both have rights. Finn wants to see me. I– I can see it in his eyes and I know that hope feels the same way about you.

Deacon: Okay. Fine. But that still doesn’t explain your little stunt yesterday. What the hell did you kiss me for and tell everyone that we’re in love?

Deacon: Just so we’re on the same page, here: The kiss, telling everyone that we’re in love– that’s all part of the master plan, right?

Sheila: Actually, I didn’t have a master plan so I improvised.

Deacon: By kissing me?

Sheila: Yes. Because there’s a bond between a parent and a child and i refuse to allow the forresters to stand in our way and before you know it, finn and hope, they won’t allow it either. They were kissing. Your dad and my birth mother going at it right in the middle of the restaurant.

Hope: “Well, the heart wants what it wants.”

Finn: Well, this whole situation is just bizarre.

Hope: Yeah, I didn’t even know they really knew each other and suddenly they’re in love?

Finn: Do we buy it? I mean, do we believe them?

Brooke: Why do you think they had a big night?

Donna: Oh, I don’t know. It’s just that eric was in such a good mood yesterday and in fact, I haven’t seen him that upbeat in a really long time.

Ah, thank you for putting a smile on his face. Although, I’m sure it went away the minute he went home to his dreadful wife.

Donna: Who knows? Maybe they, uh, were able to reconnect. By the way, it was really good to see him so happy.

Quinn: Don’t be sad.

Eric: I was so hoping that last night would be about us.

Quinn: Look. But didn’t you see how happy it made me that you were so excited to even try again?

Eric: Yeah, I did.

Quinn: Yeah–

[Knocking]

Shauna: Hi. Sorry, the door was unlocked.

Eric: It’s alright, shauna. Come in. It’s always good to see you. Look, I was– uh, going to the office anyway. I have stuff to do. I’ll see ya later, okay?

Quinn: Okay. Alright. Have a good day.

Eric: Okay. Bye.

Shauna: Bye. Well? How’d it go last night?

Quinn: Well, I thought we were gonna have a breakthrough. But nothing’s changed. Eric still can’t be intimate.

Hope: Your mom and my dad dating…

Finn: You’re having major doubts.

Hope: Yes! Because I know them and their histories.

Finn: So you think they’re playing us, making this all up.

Hope: I think it’s too random.

Finn: I mean, I don’t disagree. But how do we explain the fact that they were already at il giardino when we got there? There’s no way they could have known that we were coming. We only decided to go at the last minute.

Hope: Okay, that, I can’t explain. Uh… maybe it was just a coincidence?

Finn: I know that we need to tread carefully. And we can’t take their word at face value. But I’d like to believe that sheila and deacon are being truthful.

Deacon: You wanna explain to me why we’re acting like we’re in a romance novel, here?

Sheila: How many times do I have to tell you? We are better together.

Deacon: Sheila, together you and I, we’re like a– a toxic waste dump.

Sheila: You are never gonna get through to her on your own.

Deacon: I’ll take my chances.

Sheila: Oh really, what with ridge and brooke denying access and then there is liam… hope’s gatekeeper?

Deacon: My daughter has a mind of her own.

Sheila: Oh, does she? So she’s been calling you trying set up meetings with you, I’m sure or does she still hang up the phone every time you call? Deacon. She’s not doing this because she wants to, it’s that family that is doing everything in their power to keep you away from her!

Deacon: Okay, okay, okay– I get it, genius, I understand that. What I don’t understand is why you kissed me.

Sheila: Didn’t you see what I saw? My son and your daughter. Imagine if they were involved. Imagine if they were together!

Shauna: Sounds like things could’ve gone better. I’m sorry.

Quinn: Ugh, I actually had my hopes up. Eric did too, you know? I mean, he was raring to go. And then it just fizzled out.

Shauna: There’s always tonight. And tomorrow night. It’ll happen.

Quinn: I hope so. Just seeing how much eric wanted me… and then seeing his disappointment.

Shauna: We all want to feel desired. And eric clearly was hot to trot for you last night.

Quinn: I gotta find out what that man ate for lunch because he was raring to go.

Shauna: I’m glad you’re not giving up.

Quinn: I’m never gonna give up on eric or our marriage. C’mon, I’ve learned that lesson, right? I mean. I’m never gonna take it for granted again. What we share is so remarkable. We have jumped through hoop after hoop after hoop and if we can’t make it through this last hoop– me having an affair with carter…

Shauna: And you did make it through.

Quinn: Yes, I know, and it actually recommitted us to each other even more. Much to his family’s dismay.

Shauna: Hmpf.

Quinn: Especially brooke who’s always out to undermine my marriage.

Eric: Hey.

Brooke: Good morning, eric.

Eric: Morning, brooke.

Brooke: Did you see donna at her desk?

Eric: No, I didn’T. She wasn’t there.

Brooke: Oh… well, she came in early, I think hoping to see you. She also said that you and quinn may have had a big night.

Eric: She said that?

Brooke: Eric, I know these last few months have been difficult for you… dealing with your issue. I’m sure it’s very frustrating.

Eric: Yes, it has been.

Brooke: Eric, I’m sorry. I hate that you’re faced with this kind of challenge. But I’m sure that you’ll overcome it, somehow. Did you ever stop to think that maybe it’s not about you? I’m not entirely convinced that there’s anything wrong with you.

Eric: If only that were the case. What if it isn’t you? What if it’s quinn?

Start your day with crest 3d

white

Deacon: Whatever demented thoughts you’ve got going on in that head of yours…

Sheila: Oh, would you just try to imagine it, deacon?

Deacon: Imagine hope and finn, together?

Sheila: Yes! Yes, because if they were a pair, we’d get to see our kids and hold those grandbabies as much as we wanted to!

Deacon: Alright, you are talking crazy, now.

Sheila: Maybe. But maybe not. Because when steffy, and liam, and brooke, and the rest of the forresters find out about our little “love affair”… they’re going to be up in arms.

Deacon: Sheila, that is the last thing that I need. I’m not looking to cause any more problems for hope.

Sheila: No, that’s exactly what you need to do. They want to see us. They want to be a part of their parent’s lives. But they’re being forbidden to see us! They’re being shamed for wanting to.

Deacon: Did you see what I saw at il giardino? ‘Cause they didn’t seem real receptive to our new found love. I mean, they weren’t all warm and fuzzy.

They are not going to abandon us. They are going to defend us. And when they do, it’s going to cause trouble in their marriages to steffy and liam. Deacon, who knows? My son and your daughter– they could end up looking at each other with a fresh pair of eyes.

Finn: I’m not naive. I know I didn’t live all the history with my birth mom. And I’ve only heard bits and pieces about your dad. But staging a lunch yesterday? And then fabricating their relationship? For what? Like, how would they benefit from that?

Hope: I mean, obviously I want to believe my father. We were making really good headway when he was in jail. I was writing him all those letters.

Finn: You’re the only family that deacon has. Would he really jeopardize all of this progress by lying about an affair? I mean, I really hope not. But uh, I guess time will tell.

Hope: Yeah, and meanwhile, liam and steffy both don’t want us talking to our parents. I mean… do we tell them what we saw yesterday? And if so, how will they react?

Brooke: I blame quinn.

Eric: Well, that’s– that’s ridiculous. Brooke–

Brooke: Eric. Look. I don’t mean to make you feel uncomfortable and I know this is a very sensitive subject but I know you. And for as long as I’ve known you, you’ve been an extremely passionate man. And now you’re with quinn and suddenly there’s no more passion there? It just doesn’t make sense.

Eric: Well, it doesn’t make sense to blame quinn for my physical condition.

Brooke: Okay, well maybe it’s emotional. Maybe you have a mental block? I’m sure you enjoy quinn’s companionship, but I don’t think you really love her. I mean, how can you after all of the things that she’s done to you? There’s a lot of people out there who love you and adore you, and nobody more than my sister. She told me about her feelings for you. She told me that she told you. I really think that she could bring happiness and joy and passion back into your life. What’s the #1 retinol brand

Hope: Liam and I promised that we wouldn’t keep secrets from each other. Especially after…

Finn: No, same. And uh, I feel like I– I owe it to steffy to tell her about our parents.

Hope: Besides, it’s not like we’re doing anything wrong. We didn’t know they were going to be at the restaurant when we just happened to be there and I’m sorry but, I had to confront them.

Finn: No, yeah, totally. It’s just, I’ve already asked you not to mention sheila’s most recent text. I don’t want to make you feel obligated about keeping this quiet too.

Hope: Look, I’m more… I’m more so worried about how our families are going to react. I mean, those two, they’re– they’re already explosive topics just on their own…

Finn: It’s best, I think for everyone if it comes directly from us.

Hope: I agree. But the real question is… are sheila and deacon being honest?

Deacon: You’re certifiable.

Sheila: Oh, come on. Why is that such an outrageous idea?

Deacon: My daughter and your son.

Sheila: I mean, look– look at how cute they were together, why not?

Deacon: For one thing, they’re already married. To other people!

Sheila: So what?

Deacon: So what? Sheila, they’ve got families! They’ve got– they’ve got children.

Sheila: They are beautiful together. It just– just–

Deacon: “They’re beautiful together?” Are you off your rocker? Finn has a new born child at home. My daughter’s not a homewrecker. She’s not a cheater. She’s got morals.

Sheila: Well, that makes one of you.

Deacon: Listen to me, if you think that hope is gonna leave her husband, then you’re crazy if that’s what you’re hinting at.

Sheila: I am saying think of the possibilities. If they– if they found a path to one another, that would just pave the way for us.

Deacon: See, this is the problem. All you do is think of you, yourself, and then you again.

Sheila: No. I don’t! I’m not saying this is gonna happen overnight. It’s not gonna be easy. But we have to work together! We have to stick together.

Quinn: Those logan women are not worth my time.

Shauna: Exactly. Focus on what happened last night. Or almost happened. That there’s still real potential there.

Quinn: You’re right. You’re right. I don’t know what got into eric and made him believe that he could make love to me again. But I am grateful for it.

Donna: I know you mean well, sis, but I don’t want to put eric on the spot.

Brooke: Okay. I understand. I just want you both to be happy. And we both know how much donna loves you. So just, open yourself up to her. Doesn’t hurt to give it a chance.

Donna: Okay. I– I meant what I said. I never want you to feel pressured.

Eric: So, you were here early. You were um, brooke said you were waiting for me? You wanted to see me?

Donna: Oh, you were on my mind and, you know, I was too busy thinking about what might be happening with you and quinn to get much sleep.

Eric: Yeah. I was thinking about you last night, too.

Donna: Oh, wait. You didn’t tell quinn about, you know, what– our– our breakthrough here?

Eric: No.

Donna: Good. Okay, well, you know. She must have been really overjoyed last night

Eric: You always want what’s best for me, don’t you? I always feel so supported and understood by you. Thank you.

Donna: Well, you’re my honey bear–

Eric: Yes, I am–

Donna: I am always gonna have your back.

Eric: And I’ll always have yours, too. You’re the bright star in my dark skies, these days. Look, I wish I had better news for you but it didn’t really happen with quinn last night. I did not have the breakthrough with my wife that I wanted. I only had that with you, with you, donna.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Donna: Reminds me of better times. Times with you.

Eric: Yeah, yeah.

Donna: Yeah. Remember?

Eric: Yeah, I remember. Here, may I?

Donna: Certainly.

Eric: Nice.

Donna: You’re remembering.

Eric: Yeah, I am. Donna, I’m more than remembering.

Quinn: There’s been no change in eric’s condition. I was hoping there’d be a change, but…

Shauna: I’m so sorry.

Quinn: I’m not complaining. I’d happily be with eric no matter what.

Shauna: It’s obvious you love him. But what about you and carter and that whole arrangement? How are you feeling about him?

Brooke: Quinn is more devious than ever. She’s not to be trusted on any level.

Pam: Quinn’s motives have always been questionable.

Charlie: Yeah, I don’t think I could say we ever really trusted her.

Brooke: Keep that guard up.&

Pam: Has something happened?

Brooke: You don’t betray and disrespect the person that you love.

Pam: I hate hearing that. Eric deserves so much better.

Brooke: Yeah. Preaching to the choir.

Pam: Well, it could go both ways, though.

Brooke: What do you mean?

Pam: Look, I know that eric did love quinn once upon a time. But after everything that she’s done like over all the years, do we even know how eric really feels about her now?

Hope: I can’t believe what I’m hearing, let alone seeing.

Deacon: Trust me, I get it. It’s shocking.

Sheila: Actually a wonderful surprise.

Hope: You and my father in love.

Sheila: Well, the heart wants what the heart wants.

Hope: Aww.

Well, I am not buying this, not even for a second.

Finn: I ju– I agree. This is beyond shocking. Your father and my birth mother. This is just… this is impossible.

Hope: That’s what I’m saying.

Finn: But why would they lie about it?

Hope: Because it’s sheila.

Sheila: We’re here. And it’s not a lie. I mean, no one was more surprised about this than we were. Falling in love was not an option– certainly not with deacon. But I got to know him. I got to know him through his letters. And just as I saw deacon, he saw me. And here we are.

Hope: Just like that.

Sheila: Who’s got time to waste. Right, sweetheart?

Deacon: Ah… can’t argue with that, right? It just happened fast.

Quinn: You’re my best friend, I’m not going to lie to you. Despite everything, of course I still think about carter, how can I not?

Shauna: You two fell hard for each other.

Quinn: I love carter, and I always will but… we can’t be together anymore. I’m committed to my husband.

Shauna: And I respect that so much, but it’s gotta be so difficult for you knowing that your husband may never be able to make love to you again.

Eric: Donna, I can’t believe what’s happened.

Donna: Is it–

Eric: This… I have felt something that I thought I was never gonna feel in my life again.

Donna: What a waste that would’ve been.

Eric: Yeah. I can’t tell you how much this means to me. I can’T… would you mind, um, if i just held you for a minute?

Donna: Are you kidding? Yes, yes! Oh my god, I’ve been waiting for this for so long.

[]

Hope: What is it with you, sheila? First, out of, I don’t know, every single woman in the entire world, you just turn out to be finn’s birth mother, you know, steffy forrester’s husband. Now you’re saying that you became prison pen pals with my dad and just happened to fall in love?

Sheila: I know! I know. It sounds crazy! But it’s just, those little things– special like finn and deacon, you know, that’s what makes life exciting and precious. You know, you never know what’s going to be around that next corner for you. You two should really take a lesson here. When circumstances get really difficult, you hang in there.

Deacon: Mm-hm.

Sheila: ‘Cause life can change on a dime.

Hope: Wow, so this is not only a new and improved sheila, it’s optimistic sheila too.

Sheila: Well, why shouldn’t it be with everything that I’ve been given, hope? After all these years, I found my son. And he gave me a beautiful grandchild that I would really love to see. Again. And… I found love.

Brooke: I knew quinn would be a disaster for eric from the start. All her proclamations of so-called love was… was fake. She doesn’t even know the meaning of the word.

Charlie: You know, I’m not sure that’s entirely true. Never mind.

Brooke: No, go ahead, charlie. Say what you’re thinking.

Charlie: You know, i think that quinn actually loves eric in her own unique way. And come on, you can’t doubt her love for wyatt. Come on!

Pam: All right, well that may be true enough.

Brooke: Yeah, okay. I’ll give you wyatt, that’s her son. But, what about the man that she’s supposed to love? You don’t just do these things that she did to him. And I told you, you wouldn’t believe it. Your jaw would drop to the floor.

Pam: Yeah, well, I don’t think anything that she did would surprise me. I have seen first hand just how deceptive she can be. Quinn uses people.

Brooke: I don’t know what binds them together. But it’s not love. It can’t be.

Quinn: There’s so much more between me and eric than just the physical. I mean, we talk, and we laugh, and we dance. We… he plays the piano for me.

Shauna: That’s lovely. Companionship is the glue to hold a marriage together. You can’t deny the importance of an active sex life.

Quinn: If I have to live without it– if that’s the cost of being with the man I love– so be it.

Shauna: Oh, god, you’re so grown up. Who are you and what have you done with quinn?

Quinn: You know, happens to the best of us. Look, come oN. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying I’m resigned to a life of just holding my husband’s hand. And who knows? Things can turn around for us as quickly as it changed in the first place. Maybe that change’ll happen as early as tonight.

Eric: What a wonderful day this is for me and my life.

Donna: I am so thrilled for you.

Eric: I thought this was over, I thought this was… I thought this was never going to happen again after everything we’ve tried, and nothing has worked for me. And now this. I mean, for me to feel this way again so… so vital and so alive.

Donna: And sexy. Don’t forget about sexy. You are so sexy. And always wills be.

Eric: Yes.

Donna: Yes.

Eric: Donna, the way you look at me… the way you look at me with such affection in your eyes. Such sweetness. Never judging.

Donna: If I helped in any way at all, it warms my heart.

Eric: It’s changed my life now. It’s changed my life. I have to get home and tell my wife.

Donna: Quinn’s a lucky lady. You tell her I said so, okay?

Eric: I will.

Donna: Okay. Thank you, donna.

Donna: Anything for my honey bear.

Why hide your skin if dupixent Could this be true?

Hope: No.

Finn: No.

Sheila: Oh, come on, deacon. He’s so smart, and he’s got that dashing part of him and that sly sense of humor. And I gotta tell you, he’s not too hard on the eyes.

Hope: Okay, I’m gonna be sick. Dad, really?

Deacon: I can’t even speak. I mean, it was shocking to me too.

Sheila: That’s kind of the way it is. Right? I mean, love doesn’t announce itself. It just kind of slips through the side window when you least expect it. And then there we are. There we are. Right? I’m actually very glad that we ran into the two of you. You need to know that your parents found one another. Can’t you just be happy for us? Your father and I, we served our time, we paid our debt to society. Now we have a chance at– at a really good life. A chance to make up for the wrong that we did. We just want an opportunity to show our families that we deserve love and the opportunity to be with our children. Right baby?

Deacon: Yeah. Mm-hm.

Brooke: Hey. We heard eric left a little while ago.

Donna: Yep. Mm-hm.

Brooke: “Yep?” That’s it? That’s all you’re gonna give me? I mean, were you able to be honest with him about your feelings for him?

Donna: You would be proud.

Brooke: So, you got through to him, you made an impact.

Donna: In a way, yeah.

Brooke: That’s terrific!

Donna: Don’t get too exited. I mean, we had A… a wonderful moment, but then he went home to his wife. As he should.

Brooke: That’s it?

Donna: Afraid so.

Brooke: Uh, I was hoping eric would come to his senses and realize that you’re the woman he should be with.

Donna: Yeah, well, didn’t work out that way.

Brooke: I think he’s confused between commitment versus true love.

Donna: I couldn’t say, but if quinn is who he wants to be with, then I’m happy for him.

Brooke: I know you too well. You are holding something back.

Donna: Brooke, I don’T… I don’t want to get into all the details.

Brooke: Details? Donna, oh my gosh, tell me. What is it?

Eric: Quinn? Quinn, where are you?

Quinn: I’m upstairs but I’m coming down.

Eric: Oh, wait, wait. Stop right there.

Quinn: And do what?

Eric: Just let me take a nice long look at you. Oh! Beautiful.

Quinn: Okay, can I come down now?

Eric: Yeah, come on down. Come here. Yeah.

[Sighing]

Quinn: I um… I may be wrong, but I’m sensing a little shift, right?

Eric: You know me so well.

Quinn: Of course I do, you’re my husband. I’m more aware of you than anyone. What happened?

Eric: I had the most amazing day. And I couldn’t wait to get home to you.

Quinn: Oh, well it’s my favorite part of the day, our end of the day wrap up. Let’s make some martinis, we’ll get some dinner, and you can tell me all about–

Eric: No, not interested in dinner.

Quinn: Mm! Wow.

Eric: Why don’t we, uh… why don’t we take this upstairs to the bedroom?

Quinn: Really?

Eric: Yeah.

Quinn: Seriously?

Eric: Seriously. Why don’t you, um, why don’t you show me the way.

Quinn: I know the way.

Eric: Do you?

Quinn: Yeah. Yeah. It’s right here. Come on.

Eric: Where do we go? Where is it? Show me. Show me.

Who’s on it with jardiance?

Brooke: You have to tell me what happened between you and eric.

Donna: I– I didn’t say anything did!

Brooke: Well, I can see it all over your face. Now, don’t forget. I’m the one who told you to come clean about your feelings for him. So, if anything came up, you should tell me. Not that I wanna be a busy body. I don’t, it’s just I want you both to be happy. And preferably together.

Donna: Oh my gosh, stop. Okay, fine. I will tell you. Uh! I took your advice, all right? And I, um, told him how I felt, like you said. And I said that I missed him and us and I went so far as to say that he was the love of my life.

Brooke: Oh!

Donna: Yeah.

Brooke: Good for you.

Donna: And then I got misty and I started looking for a tissue in my purse, and right there where you couldn’t miss was… um, a honey bear bottle.

Brooke: He must’ve thought it was charming.

Donna: Well, yeah, and actually he was amazed because I admitted I have a stash in my drawer to remind me of the times that used to be.

Brooke: Aw. Ah… well, it sounds like you opened up. So, how did he react?

Donna: Um… I’m gonna keep that to myself, okay? Um, we had a, um, private exchange and then he went back to his wife. But, if I helped in any way at all, I’m happy.

Brooke: You know if you really wanna be with eric, you’re gonna have to be a little more assertive. I know if it was me, I would do anything to get quinn out of his life.

Donna: I’ve said it before, I just want eric to be happy, okay?

Brooke: Happy with quinn? He would have a much more meaningful and special life with you.

> Donna: But the fact remains. He’s a married man.

Quinn: I am so glad that you wanted to skip dinner and go straight to the bedroom. But–

Eric: But?

Quinn: I have to ask, what inspired this sudden change?

Eric: I told you I had this, uh… I had this great day.

Quinn: Creatively?

Eric: No. Personally.

Quinn: Mm…

Eric: Yeah. I haven’t felt this confident in a very, very long time. I think the old… the old eric is back and I am so glad to see him.

Quinn: Oh, I am so glad to see him too.

Eric: You’ve been so patient with me.

Quinn: ‘Cause I love you, eric. I have been waiting for you to kiss me like that for so long. To feel your passion for me for so long. I want you to make love to me, eric.

Days Update Tuesday, October 26, 2021

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Brady sits at home at John and Marlena’s, reading Johnny’s movie script. Brady asks if Johnny is kidding with this and questions how Marlena could be okay with it. Lucas then shows up at the door and asks if Brady has some time. Brady says he does and invites him in, asking what’s up. Lucas questions what the hell Brady is trying to pull with Chloe.

Chloe walks through the town square and finds Nicole. Chloe asks if something is wrong. Nicole informs her that Abe was shot tonight. Chloe mentions seeing the headline in the news and asks if he will be okay. Nicole confirms that Abe is expected to make a full recovery. Nicole adds that it was right in Salem Park when someone took a shot at him. Chloe calls that scary. Nicole talks about Abe being the closest thing she has to a father and doesn’t know what she’d do without him in her life. Nicole then asks Chloe why she was coming from the Salem Inn. Chloe reveals that she’s living there for now. Nicole thought Chloe was staying with Philip and asks what happened. Chloe responds that they had a big fight about Brady so she moved out.

Philip sits at home at the Kiriakis Mansion and thinks back to seeing Brady going in to the Salem Inn with Chloe. Ava arrives but Philip says he doesn’t have time so whatever it is will have to wait. Ava informs him that the cops picked up Jake DiMera. Philip asks what happened. Ava then reveals that Abe was shot today.

In the interrogation room, Jake complains that he’s going nuts in there while Gabi points out that at least Rafe let her stay with him. Jake wishes he knew what was going on with Abe, considering everything that happened to him is his responsibility. Gabi warns him not to let Rafe hear him say that as Rafe enters and asks what he’s not supposed to hear. Gabi asks if there’s any news on Abe. Rafe reveals that they were waiting for him to stabilize before taking him to the operating room and then his heart stopped…

Maggie goes to the hospital and sees Paulina. Maggie goes over and introduces herself as an old friend of Abe’s. Paulina notes that Abe told her what a fine person she is. Maggie says that’s nice to hear from a man like Abe. Maggie heard what happened and wanted to offer her support. Maggie asks if Abe is okay. Paulina then breaks down crying.

Jake asks Rafe if Abe is dead. Rafe says technically yes because he flatlined and they tried to revive him, but they finally did, so he’s in surgery now. Gabi questions Rafe telling Jake that Abe is dead then. Rafe explains that he wanted to gauge Jake’s reaction. Jake asks if he’s talked to him yet. Rafe says Abe is not allowed visitors until tomorrow so he can’t tell him what happened. Rafe says he was hoping to hear that from Jake and assures that his best option is telling the truth. Gabi argues that Jake is innocent and Rafe has nothing on him. Rafe points out that Jake was at the scene of the crime and his fingerprints are all over the gun used to shoot Abe, so he has plenty on him.

Philip asks Ava what reason Jake would have to shoot Abe. Ava has no clue but says it sure screws up their plans with Jake and Gabi. Philip acknowledges that it’s hard to hold Jed Zanetti’s death over Jake’s head if he’s already in jail for shooting Abe. Ava adds that Gabi won’t sign Gabi Chic over to them. Philip concludes that Carmine would no longer be a threat to Jake. Carmine then walks in to the mansion and says he wouldn’t say that.

Brady tells Lucas that what happens between he and Chloe is none of his business. Lucas reveals that he and Philip were in the town square when they saw Brady and Chloe going in to the Salem Inn together and Brady was carrying Chloe’s suitcase, very gallantly. Brady responds that he’s just that kind of guy. Lucas asks if he’s also the kind of guy to spend the night with another man’s girlfriend.

Nicole asks Chloe what her and Philip’s fight was about. Chloe informs her that Philip punched Brady and is acting like a maniac, so she feels like she’s back in high school. Nicole hopes Chloe then broke it off with Philip. Chloe says she didn’t but feels they shouldn’t live under the same roof. Chloe adds that she moved in to the Kiriakis Mansion to recover from her gunshot wound but now has no reason to be there. Nicole’s phone rings with a call from EJ. Chloe asks if she needs to get that but Nicole claims it’s no one important.

EJ leaves a message for Nicole, inviting her to dinner tonight and says they’ll have it at the DiMera Mansion to avoid interruption as he actually seems to be home alone. Kristen DiMera then emerges from the tunnels and tells EJ to guess again. EJ questions what she is doing here.

Gabi argues that Jake must have touched the gun when he found Abe as that’s the only reason his prints could be on the gun. Rafe threatens to kick her out if she doesn’t keep quiet. Rafe asks Jake if he just happened to pick up the gun. Jake confirms he did not. Rafe points out that the gun is registered in Jake’s name. Gabi tries to interrupt but Jake says he made this mess, so he will clean it up. Jake agrees to tell Rafe everything he knows. Gabi urges him not to say another word without an attorney. Rafe suggests Jake should’ve called a lawyer instead of Gabi. Jake feels Rafe is going to find out everything regardless of what he does. Jake decides he will give Rafe the whole story from the beginning.

Philip questions Carmine getting in to the house. Ava adds that he’s not even supposed to be in Salem, so she asks what he’s doing here. Carmine responds that they both owe him, so he’s here to collect.

Brady tells Lucas that he’s good friends with Chloe, so he was just helping her move in to the Salem Inn. Lucas doesn’t buy it. Brady insists he’s been respectful of her relationship with Philip. Lucas says except when Chloe tries to put distance between them, then Brady is always there. Lucas brings up how Brady slept in the same bed with her on a business trip and is now helping her move out of Philip’s house. Brady assures that nothing happened either time. Lucas argues that Philip is his flesh and blood, so he deserves better from Brady and he knows it.

Nicole finishes a call and then informs Chloe that Abe is out of the ICU and is stable. Chloe calls that great news. Chloe then asks why Nicole is being so mysterious about her previous phone call. Nicole claims she wasn’t but then admits that it was EJ, inviting her to dinner. Chloe assumes her answer is no. Nicole says she doesn’t know. Chloe asks why she didn’t take his call then. Nicole brings up going to dinner with EJ last night and says she did something a little underhanded which Chloe questions. Nicole reveals to Chloe that she let Steve hack in to EJ’s phone, because Steve is on a mission to track down Kristen and she prays that Steve finds her and throws her behind bars for the rest of her miserable life.

EJ warns Kristen that she shouldn’t come within 100 miles of Salem. Kristen responds that she needed to see him. EJ notes that she’s been on the run for months so he asks why now. Kristen says there is something she has to do as she then slaps EJ across the face.

Paulina tells Maggie that she’s just such a mess. Maggie understands and asks again if Abe will be okay. Paulina confirms that he just woke up a few minutes ago and she told him how grateful they were that he fought his way back. Maggie is relieved to hear the news. Paulina talks about how scared she was, even though she and Abe haven’t known each other long, he’s become an important part of her life. Maggie notes that Abe feels the same about her. Paulina responds that it makes her a very lucky woman and surprised because she never expected to find love at this point in her life. Maggie is glad that Abe has found love because he has so much to give. Maggie wishes she could see Abe but supposes it’s better to wait until he’s stronger. Paulina says Lani is in there now and calls Lani her daughter then corrects that she meant her niece and says she’s just all over the place right now. Maggie understands she’s been through a lot. Paulina says not as much as Abe has been. Maggie asks if they know how Abe got shot or who shot him. Paulina responds that nobody knows but she can’t wait to get her hands on whoever is to blame.

Gabi informs Rafe that Philip has been trying to find dirt on Jake to use against them because he wants her to sign over Gabi Chic to him. Rafe asks what this has to do with Abe and adds that he thought he was talking to Jake. Jake confirms Philip is trying to dig up dirt on him so he looked up an old co-worker of his from Philly, Carmine. Rafe asks if Carmine is mobbed up which Jake confirms. Rafe asks what Carmine has on him. Jake says nothing but that Philip convinced him to say that he took out a guy that they knew named Jed Zanetti. Rafe questions Jake being wanted for murder in another jurisdiction. Gabi argues that he didn’t do it. Rafe reminds her to keep quiet or she’s getting kicked out. Jake explains that Carmine is trying to pin Zanetti’s death on him and Philip wants to help him do it. Rafe asks what all of this has to do with Abe. Jake reveals that he called Carmine to come to Salem for a sitdown so that he could reason with him, but he wasn’t reasonable, so he threatened him. Rafe realizes that’s why he had his gun. Jake insists that he wasn’t going to hurt him and just wanted him to go away but Carmine knew he was bluffing, so he wrestled the gun from him and that’s when Abe walked up to try to intervene but Carmine turned and shot him point blank. Rafe asks what happened next. Jake says that Carmine dropped the gun and ran while he stayed to call 911. Gabi adds that Jake also gave Abe CPR which she thinks saved his life. Gabi asks if Jake would stick around to do that if he shot Abe. Gabi argues that Rafe knows Jake is telling the truth.

Philip tells Carmine that he can’t shake him down for more money. Carmine complains that he’s in a mess because of Philip and Ava wanting him to finger Jake for offing Jed Zanetti. Ava asks what mess he’s in. Carmine explains that Jake got word to him that he wanted to meet, so he showed up. Ava questions him not clearing that with her. Carmine figured it wouldn’t be a problem but Jake started waving a gun around, he grabbed it, and then a guy walked up and ended up getting shot. Philip calls Carmine an idiot for shooting the mayor and says Jake is in jail for shooting him. Ava asks who shot Abe. Carmine says the gun just went off and it was an accident. Philip questions Carmine shooting Abe. Carmine says it’s not his fault and tells Philip that it’s his problem.

Brady questions if Philip sent Lucas to fight his battle for him. Lucas clarifies that Philip doesn’t even know he’s here right now. Lucas calls Chloe the best thing to happen to Philip in a long time. Lucas adds that Brady had his chance with Chloe and blew it. Brady argues that he was in a relationship so he couldn’t tell Chloe that he wanted her as much as she wanted him. Lucas is glad Brady finally figured out that Kristen is no good but argues that it doesn’t give him the right to steal Philip’s girlfriend. Brady asks Lucas if he asked Chloe what she wants. Brady guesses Lucas can’t face Chloe after Sami tried to get him to seduce her. Lucas is not proud of what he did but argues that Sami did it all because of Kristen, who kidnapped Chloe. Lucas declares that as long as Kristen’s out there, Brady is a walking death threat to Chloe.

Chloe asks Nicole why Steve is trying to track down Kristen all of a sudden. Nicole doesn’t know and doesn’t care, but she wants him to find her and lock her up. Chloe asks why she’s feeling guilty then. Nicole doesn’t like going behind EJ’s back but doesn’t feel an ounce of guilt towards Kristen after what she did to her. Chloe hopes Steve is slapping handcuffs on Kristen now.

EJ questions Kristen risking her life to come back to slap him. Kristen argues that EJ was in on it and says she’s been off the grid for months and then suddenly gets a message that Steve Johnson is breathing down her neck. Kristen says she barely got out ahead of him. EJ questions why she came here. Kristen reveals that Steve traced her from the phone number she gave EJ. Kristen complains that she risked everything to tell EJ that Sami betrayed him because she trusted him. EJ asks if she really thinks he would ever give her up to Steve or anyone else for that matter. Kristen asks if EJ didn’t, then how did he get her number. EJ says he doesn’t know but then remembers and says he thinks he knows how it happened. EJ explains to Kristen what happened at dinner when Steve and Kayla interrupted and that when he went to the restroom, he left his phone. Kristen calls him an idiot and says that Kayla probably wasn’t even drunk. Kristen guesses they set him up and she can’t believe he left his phone alone with them. EJ points out that they actually weren’t alone.

Chloe asks Nicole if she and EJ are seeing each other. Nicole says they went out a couple times but it is a little weird since he is her boss and her ex. Chloe asks how it’s going. Nicole says the first time, they ran in to Rafe and Ava so EJ and Rafe had words since they hate each other and then the whole thing with Steve and Kayla. Chloe asks if these interruptions might be a sign. Nicole notes that EJ’s message said he wanted a do over and she thinks she wants to give it a try since EJ is trying to put his life back together and so is she. Nicole then reveals that EJ did kiss her. Chloe knows Nicole has felt lonely since Eric left but argues that there are more guys in town than Xander and EJ. Nicole assures that she knows which Chloe questions. Nicole says she needs a distraction. Chloe asks if she means from thinking about Eric. Nicole says it’s not that simple as the one person she can’t stop thinking about is Rafe.

Rafe tells Jake that his story has some believable elements as it would explain the additional prints on the gun. Gabi questions him never mentioning additional prints. Rafe says if Jake’s story is true, she shouldn’t act surprised. Rafe says they weren’t able to match the prints but now that they have Carmine’s name, they might have enough evidence and the story might be true. Jake assures that it is. Rafe asks if there’s any idea where Carmine is now. Gabi suggests checking with Philip.

Philip questions Carmine saying it’s his problem that Carmine shot the mayor. Carmine says if it wasn’t for him and Ava, he’d still be in Philly. Ava argues that they didn’t ask him to come to Salem. Carmine says Jake got him here, pulled a gun on him, and he had to take it from him. Carmine claims he was defending himself. Philip doesn’t think Abe or Jake will see it that way. Ava points out that Jake is in custody now so he’s probably telling all about Carmine. Carmine argues that if the cops pick him up, he’ll have his own song to sing, so he warns that they better take care of him. Philip asks what he wants. Carmine wants one of the rooms in the Kiriakis Mansion until this blows over. Philip says he’ll have to think about it as Carmine then exits. Ava asks Philip what the hell they are going to do now.

Maggie understands Paulina wanting to take revenge on someone who hurt the person you love, but thinks it would be better to let the police take care of whoever did this to Abe and for Paulina to focus on Abe’s recovery and herself. Paulina agrees and says she wants to let go of the anger and put all her energy in to helping Abe recover. Paulina calls Maggie a wise and beautiful woman. Maggie tells Paulina that she is too. Paulina tells Maggie that she looks like Bonnie Raitt which Maggie takes as a compliment as a big fan of her. Paulina suggests they all go do karaoke together when Abe gets better which Maggie loves.

Jake swears to Rafe that Abe will back up everything he said. Rafe says even if he does, Jake’s not off the hook since he brought a loaded gun and a mobster to the park. Rafe adds that because of Jake, Abe almost died. Jake asks what he’s going to charge him with. Rafe doesn’t know yet but warns Jake to walk away from this criminal and never look back.

Chloe tells Nicole that she knew she had a thing for Rafe. Nicole calls it complicated and says she wasn’t clear about it herself. Nicole adds that they’ve known each other for so long and that Rafe is the guy to turn to when things are awful but she was married to the love of her life. Nicole talks about how Eric kept staying in Africa longer and she kept seeing Rafe differently but she was still married. Nicole says when her marriage blew up, she was miserable and guilty, then by the time she sorted out her feelings, Rafe was with Ava. Nicole adds that Ava is starting a new life and is her friend too. Chloe wonders if Nicole would’ve ran in to Rafe instead of Xander on the night Eric said he was staying in Africa. Nicole thinks Rafe would have seen how drunk she was and got her home and in bed. Nicole repeats that Rafe was starting something with Ava. Chloe questions not thinking that Rafe deserves to know how she feels. Nicole says she can’t. Chloe argues that dating EJ instead doesn’t make sense. Nicole compares it to Chloe wanting Brady and dating Philip. Chloe argues that Brady was in love with Kristen but Nicole says not anymore. Chloe says she really likes Philip when he’s not acting like a jealous idiot as he can be really sweet and romantic and they have a really long history. Nicole says she and EJ do too. Chloe reminds her that EJ hurt her over and over. Nicole argues that was because Sami was in the picture but now she’s not. Nicole recalls being so in love with EJ a long time ago, so maybe she can love him again. Chloe worries that it’s doomed to begin with if he finds out she double crossed he and Kristen. Chloe warns that EJ is still a dangerous man, who has turned on her before. Chloe asks what if Kristen finds out that she helped Steve track her down. Nicole insists that Kristen is in hiding and nowhere near Salem. Chloe points out that if Steve finds her, she won’t be hiding anymore.

Kristen tells EJ to stop stalling and asks who else was at the table when Steve hacked his phone. EJ claims he was on a dinner date with a business associate and that Steve obviously duped that person in to leaving the table. Kristen blames EJ for leaving his phone in plain sight and says she doesn’t know who she hates more, EJ or Steve. EJ suggests she turn her wrath on Steve, because right now, he is all she’s got. Kristen demands that he hide her until all of this blows over or else she swears to take him down with her.

Nicole doesn’t care about Kristen and says she’s on the ropes and she knows it, so she needs to keep running or else she’ll be found and thrown in a prison that she can’t escape from. Chloe hopes so. Nicole thinks EJ would understand why she did what she did, if he finds out, but she doesn’t think he will. Chloe questions her not returning his call then. Nicole says she was just shocked about Abe and needed time to think, but EJ’s message sounded fine so maybe she should take him up on his dinner invite and go to his house right now.

Brady hates what Kristen put Chloe through and calls that a big reason why he broke it off with her. Brady reminds Lucas that Kristen’s daughter is sleeping down the hall so he can keep it down if he’s going to trash talk her mother. Brady declares that Lucas and Philip have no right to point fingers at him and if Philip wants to know what happened between he and Chloe last night, he can man up and ask him himself, or he can go to Chloe. Lucas questions why Philip should ask Brady anything and says he’d just lie to him. Brady tells him that they can believe whatever they want. Brady jokes that he can go tell Philip to challenge him to a duel. Lucas calls Brady a cold son of a bitch. Brady tells him to get out so Lucas then exits.

Philip asks Ava to calm down since Jake brought Carmine to Salem and they didn’t even know about it. Ava worries that Gabi won’t let Jake take the fall. Ava regrets agreeing to help Philip. Philip thought she had nerves of steel. Ava insists that Rafe cannot find out that she’s mixed up with Abe. Philip asks what she wants to do. Ava tells him that they need to keep Carmine quiet which means he needs to do what he wants. Philip argues that he can’t hide Carmine here since he came to the front door, so Henderson will tell Victor. Philip adds that Ava knows how to make people disappear so she should handle him. Ava agrees to, so Philip tells her to call him when it’s handled. Ava asks where he thinks he’s going. Philip declares that Ava started this, so she can handle it, while he has places to go and people to see. Philip then exits the mansion.

Chloe asks Nicole about EJ wanting her to come to his house for dinner. Nicole notes that EJ said he’d be alone. Chloe questions just showing up at his door without calling. Nicole responds that EJ won’t be cooking on his own and says that she knows EJ and that he likes surprises…

EJ tells Kristen that he can’t hide her in the house, so if she wants to stay, she’ll have to stay in the secret room. Kristen complains that it’s not exactly secret anymore. EJ blames Kristen for that and says there’s no good hiding place for her here. EJ thought she was smarter than to flee to her family home. EJ is sure that Steve will be knocking on the door anytime soon. Kristen argues that she’s not an amateur as she left a bogus trail to keep Steve busy for months. Kristen feels nobody would ever think she would come back here. EJ decides to organize some bedding and directs her to the wine cellar. Kristen then responds that she’s going to Brady’s. EJ laughs at her and points out that if Brady sees her, he will turn her in. Kristen assures that Brady won’t see her but she didn’t come all this way to not see her daughter as she’s all she has to live for. EJ warns that Kristen is making a big mistake. Kristen insists that she just has to look at her daughter while she sleeps and no one will ever know she was there. EJ knows that she cannot change her mind as Kristen then leaves the mansion.

Gabi tells Rafe that she loves Jake, so he can’t just order her to leave him. Rafe brings up Jake being in the mob. Gabi argues that Ava is his ex mob boss. Rafe tells her to save it. Gabi tells Rafe that Ava gave Philip the information on Carmine, so she is in this up to her neck.

Carmine returns to see Ava in the living room and asks where Philip is. Ava tells him not to worry about him as she’s going to take care of his arrangements. Carmine warns that she better. Ava responds that she may be out of the life, but she’s still his boss, and he’s acting pretty cocky for just a hired goon. Ava reminds him that she can still squash him like a bug. Ava then takes Carmine and exits the mansion.

Philip goes to Chloe’s room at the Salem Inn.

Brady complains about Philip still thinking that he slept with Chloe and decides he has to warn her. Brady goes to look for his phone. When he leaves the room, Kristen sneaks in.

EJ finishes setting up the wine cellar in the tunnels as the doorbell rings. EJ then answers the door to see Nicole and says he was just thinking about her.

Interview with Nicole Maines

Posted on October 26, 2021March 15, 2023 by TvMegasite Admin

TV Interview!

Nicole Maines from a video on her Instagram

Interview with Nicole Maines of “Supergirl” on The CW by Suzanne 10/14/21

I’m not ashamed to say that I worked very hard to get this interview for the last year or so. I’m glad we finally got the chance to chat over the phone! She is really great on the show, and as a person, and as an advocate for LGBTQ++ rights. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

NICOLE MAINES ISN’T DONE WITH DREAMER! That’s what she keeps saying, anyway, and I think if she says it enough, perhaps she will get the chance to reprise her character (or keep writing about her).

Suzanne: Are you still in Palm Springs… I saw on your Instagram…?

Nicole: Oh, that was a couple of weeks ago. No, no, I’m in Los Angeles.

Suzanne: Okay, back in LA. Is it nice out?

Nicole: I don’t know. I woke up at noon.

Suzanne: Oh, well, that’s good.

Nicole: I’m unemployed. [laughs]

Suzanne: I understand, believe me. So, there are just five episodes left of Supergirl. How do you feel?

Nicole: I mean, I’m excited. I mean, especially the next episode. That’s our big Nia episode. It’s Nia, who’s back.

Suzanne: Oh, good.

Nicole: Yeah.

Suzanne: So, how do you feel about the show ending though?

Nicole: I mean, it’s bittersweet. I’m excited for what’s gonna come next and what new opportunities are there for me, but this was home for three years, and I miss the people, and I miss the crew, and I miss getting to be Nia and getting to play around with Nia

Suzanne: Right. Oh, I forgot you were only on there for three years. I watch the show religiously, I promise. You seem like you’ve been there forever, like everyone.

Nicole: It felt like I was there forever. I mean, I really, really loved and I do love that character and to be her, and that was my first sort of initial thought when they gave me the call and told us we didn’t get picked up for seven. I was like, “I’m not done. I have more to do with her.”

Suzanne: Do you think fans will be happy with the way it ends?

Nicole: I think so. I think we have a really, really fun ending, and getting to shoot that last episode was really fun. And we have some stuff that I think people have been wanting for a while, and it’s going to be great.

Suzanne: Oh, good. Yeah. As long as they don’t kill off Supergirl, I’ll be happy. I’m not happy about the way they ended Arrow. Too depressing… but that was a more downer show than than yours anyway.

Nicole: Yeah.

Suzanne: I don’t know if anybody has died on Supergirl?

Nicole: Yeah, Astra died.

Suzanne: Oh, her mother, right.

Nicole: Aunt.

Suzanne: Aunt, right. Oh, well, she was a villain anyway. Well, the nice thing about most of these kind of shows, they can always bring them back again.

Nicole: Totally.

Suzanne: So, what did you find most challenging about playing Nia/Dreamer?

Nicole: Oh, gosh, I mean, where to start? I think the hardest part, for me, was finding my sea legs and coming onto the show pretty new, pretty green and trying to keep up. Everyone on our show is so stupid talented that it’s intimidating. And for someone who didn’t really have a lot of experience under my belt and didn’t really have a lot of formal training to fall back on, it was really scary. It felt like I was flying by the seat of my pants at all times, but I wouldn’t change a thing. It was the perfect first show for me, and, I don’t know, as soon as we were done, I was like, “Okay, now I’m ready! This is just rehearsal. Let’s go back. Let’s do it again. Okay, now I’m ready.”

Suzanne: Well, it probably added to your character though, because, she was pretty insecure and everything when she first started.

Nicole: Exactly. I was able to bring all of that energy into Nia. That was really nice, because, simultaneously, with me going coming on to Supergirl and sort of finding my sea legs there, she was coming into CatCo brand new, and she was finding her sea legs as a superhero. So, I was able to bring that energy to the character, and I think it really worked. I hope it worked. Dreamer and Supergirl

Suzanne: No, it did.

Nicole: Nobody told me otherwise.

Suzanne: Well, they would have told you if you weren’t doing it right. So, I think that’s good.

Nicole: I hope so. [laughs]

Suzanne: So, what was the most fun part of playing her?

Nicole: Oh, gosh. Getting to create a superhero. I mean, that is a dream come true, just getting to watch her powers evolve, and watching her fighting style evolve was so fun. Getting to do the Hurricanrana in fourteen, everyone was calling it the Black Widow move. [laughs] It was f – sorry, excuse me, I don’t know if I can swear, but it was fucking cool!

Suzanne: It’s fine.

Nicole: Getting to kind of see where she came from and now seeing her kicking all of this butt was so much fun, and getting to be a part of that and getting to help shape this character. And now I have this character who is forever part of me.

Suzanne: Yeah, it’s it’s a shame. I mean, obviously, I’m upset that they canceled the show, but it’s a shame that they cancel it now that she’s finally got hold of her powers and everything.

Nicole: I know, I’m like, “You haven’t really seen Dreamer at 100%.” We haven’t seen Dreamer not struggling for a second, just like, be Dreamer. So, if I could have done anything else, I would have wanted to show just what a full power Dreamer can do and what Dreamer at 100% looks like.

Suzanne: Well, is there any chance of her showing up on a crossover with the other shows or joining Legends of Tomorrow or anything like that?

Nicole: I mean, never say never. I haven’t heard a dang thing, but I’m ready. I am here waiting to take your calls. Please call in. [laughs]

Suzanne: Right. And what was the most fun part of playing her?

Nicole: Oh, my gosh, I mean, getting Dream energy was really fun. Getting to do all those blasts and getting to come up with the choreography for it was really fun. I think one of my favorite moments was, and I’ve said this before, on the 100th episode, when I put up that giant shield against Reign, and the wind and the fans were blowing and debris was going everywhere…I felt so cool in that moment. That was the kind of stuff I loved, getting to be a superhero. That was the best part.

Suzanne: Is that what you’ll miss the most?

Nicole: No, I think I’ll miss the people the most. I think it’s the people the most. I just saw Staz. He came and visited me for a couple of weeks. We saw Jesse while he was down here. So, it was good. I [had just been] with Katie. So, I keep in touch with all of them.

Suzanne: Good. Good.

Nicole: I really miss them, and I miss having the Superfriends together.

Suzanne: It’s so funny that they started calling them Superfriends on the show. [laughs] You know, the old cartoon. I don’t know if you ever saw it.

Nicole: Oh, yeah, I know, I know. I thought it was great. What a great revival.

Suzanne: Yeah, people of my age and slightly younger grew up watching that.

Nicole: We all have hoodies that were made that have the Superfriends on them in that Golden Age comic style, and it has the logo [for] Superfriends on it, and I wear it all the time.

Suzanne: That’s neat. Were you a comic book fan before you joined the show?

Nicole: Not too much, honestly, no. I read comics, and I had some comics, but I wouldn’t say was a comic book fan or a comic nerd. This show definitely changed that, and I still have a ways to go. I’m still not by any standards like an aficionado, but I definitely developed a new appreciation for it. And after writing Dreamer into the comics, my relationship with that has definitely changed in a much more “hungry for more” way.

Suzanne: Yeah, I read that you wrote part of the the Dreamer story for the pride comic book. Will you be writing some more?

Nicole: Well, not part of it. I wrote the whole thing.

Suzanne: Oh, the whole thing, okay.

Nicole: I wrote the whole thing. They asked me to do it, and it was a really great experience. I got to play around and pull a bunch of different things that I wanted to do. We have some nods to the Nolanverse Batman movies. I got to have fun. I did not realize, however, that people thought that the comic was set in the Arrowverse still. I had a lot of people lamenting that. They’re like, “Oh, we really want her to be [in] the DC Comics universe, and this is clearly still the Arrowverse.” I was talking to my editor about it a little while ago, and we were like, “It is?” We had every intention of it being in the DC Comics universe, and I think what happened was I made a mistake. In the title in the location tab, I wrote “National City” instead of “Midvale City” which I had not realized not being a comic book fan at the time and just not properly knowing my stuff. I take credit for that. I did not know that in the comics Supergirl is in Midvale City and not National City. I didn’t know that there was a difference. If anyone asks, I’m just saying that National City is Dreamer City.

Suzanne: People always find something to complain about. So, I wouldn’t worry that much about it.

Nicole: Oh, who knows, but yeah, so for anyone wondering, that was DC Comics canon; Dreamer is DC Comics canon, I swear.

Suzanne: So, do you know if there’s a plan to have a Dreamer comic or have her join any of the other DC Comics?

Nicole: I mean, I have plans. I don’t know if anybody else [laughs] has plans, but this is at any given moment. This has really unlocked something in me that just as I was writing it, it just occurred to me – not occurred to me, but it just felt right, and it felt like something that I was supposed to be doing and and building this superhero up and being on the show and knowing what her potential is that we never really got to fully explore with Dreamer just being Dreamer. I want to get to explore all that, and I want to get to show people what this character can really do and just how powerful a superhero she really is. And we’re going to be seeing that more and more. We’re going to be seeing that in this coming episode even. Someone was posting – in the promo, you’re seeing this kind of tug of war, energy battle between Nyxly and Dreamer, and someone pointed out, they were like, “Dreamer’s holding back Nyxly,” which was two the Totems powering her, and they’re like, “If Nia’s holding all that back, she’s a god.” And I retweeted that, and I was like, “Yes! This is what I’ve been saying!” I’m shocked that no one stopped me, but I guess they haven’t stopped me, because I’m right, [but] I’ve just gotten unapologetic about it. I’m just honest. I’m just honestly saying, “Dreamer is the most powerful character in the Arrowverse.” Dreamer poster

Suzanne: Okay.

Nicole: And I’m like, “Please, if I’m wrong, feel free to show me,” but I’ve done my work. I’ve shown my work, and I’ve done the math, and I’m like, “Show me where my math is wrong.”

Suzanne: I think you could definitely make a case for that. I think that’s something they should have done the next season, if they had another season, is something where Supergirl and Dreamer are fighting.

Nicole: Oh, I had a whole pitch, and there were different ways we could have done [it]. I think it would have been interesting for sort of the darker side of Dreamer that we got to see a little bit in “Reality Bytes” and show the difference in philosophy between Dreamer and Supergirl, and then we could kind of explore that [relationship]. Okay, so what about when the mentor and the mentee disagree on the no killing rule? Because dreamer had very good reason and motivation for wanting to kill the transphobe in “Reality Bytes.” I think that would have been interesting to explore, but I also understand. We also kind of agreed and we’re like, “I don’t know if the trans superhero should kill anyone.” From a storytelling perspective, on the other hand, that would have been a really, really interesting thing to explore and explore that moral gray area.

Suzanne: Well, I’m sure at some point they will have a trans character that can do things like that. I remember that one of the soap operas a while back, they had a black person that was a villainness, and it was the first time they’d ever done that on a soap opera.

Nicole: It’s a question of [unintelligible] representations, how to frame these characters, and are we responsible for keeping them in a positive light? I’m of the opinion that I don’t think we should limit these characters to their identity and limit their character arcs to that identity. I think it’s important that we’re showcasing trans people as three dimensional people, and that includes their flaws, and I think that if Dreamer had gone through with that, that could have been a really, really interesting narrative, even bringing into it her powers and her seeing the future. And if she sees the future, why wouldn’t she, you know, just nip this in the bud? There’s so much down the road that she has to deal with, she’s like, “If I can stop this person from hurting anybody, why shouldn’t I?”

Suzanne: Is she seeing the future or a possible future?

Nicole: Well, that’s the question. Another thing we could have explored is in the comic books, of course, Nura Nal’s power. Dreamgirl was always infallible. You didn’t always have the context for her dreams, but her dreams always came true. And I think with Nia, it’s much more of a possible future that she can now take steps to alter that course, if she chooses, which I think, from a storytelling perspective, is a little more interesting.

Suzanne: Definitely.

Nicole: Just because we already know what’s going to happen. [laughs] Why are you watching the show?

Suzanne: Yeah, and the comic books, at least the ones when I read when I was growing up, they were a lot more simplistic than TV is today. So, you can do that without – you know what I mean.

Nicole: [unintelligible] kind of have to add a few extra layers.

Suzanne: Yeah, audiences expect more now.

Nicole: Give me a couple more twists and turns.

Suzanne: Yeah. So, have you been doing anything besides sleeping in and going to Palm Springs since you wrapped Supergirl?

Nicole: I mean, just planning, lots of auditions. But I’m planning. I have all of these ideas for Dreamer. I have all these ideas for Nia, and it’s just lots of plotting on my part.

Suzanne: Are you going to be maybe writing something up?

Nicole: Maybe, who knows. I would love to continue. I would love to get to do another DC pride issue; I would love to keep that going. And this is the thing with representation, and this is where the next step is going to be. You can’t just tap the balloon once and let it sink; you have to keep it in the air, and I think that’s how representation is. So, now, the next step, it’s not a question of…“Is Dreamer gonna pop up next?” It’s, “Where? Where [unintelligible] this character next?”

Suzanne: And I’m definitely looking forward to that.

Nicole: Me too. So, to all those reading, I assure [you] she’s not done.

Suzanne: And this is your first ongoing TV series, right? Your character has the romance with Brainy. Was that your first onscreen romance as well?

Nicole: No, no, right before Supergirl, I had done a movie, Bit, and I had the pleasure of having a romance with the lovely Zolee Griggs. So, that was fun. So, that wasn’t like my first, but it was fun, and getting to do those things with Jesse was really nice, too, because he’s just so great. He’s frickin’ talented and hilarious, and getting to do those Midvale episodes, especially, was some of the most fun I’ve had on that show, because we really just got to ham it up together.

Suzanne: Oh, yeah, those were fun.

Nicole: We both love to do [that]. We had such great comedic chemistry that we didn’t always get to play on in the show, and so having those two episodes is a great opportunity to [be] like, “Okay, let’s like Brainy and Nia be like be [unintelligible].

Suzanne: Yeah, they definitely had some of the comedy relief.

Nicole: Yeah. Brainy and Nia

Suzanne: So, you don’t have any other projects coming up that you can talk about?

Nicole: Not yet, but hopefully, soon. Stay tuned. Watch [unintelligible].

Suzanne: No, definitely. I just have two more questions. What shows do you like to watch for fun?

Nicole: Well, my favorite show is Supergirl, airing on Tuesdays on The CW at 9/8 central! [laughs] I’ve started Squid Games. I know I’m a little late, sorry, but started that, loving it. I was watching that. [It] was like “green light” and they kept running, and I was like “You guys! Stop running! It’s not working!” I love any show that I get to scream at the TV.

Suzanne: You’re supposed to wait until you’re old to do that. And anything else that you’d like to say to your fans?

Nicole: Just thank you so much. Thank you for making this character a hit. Thank you for loving her and supporting her and being excited about her, and if you want to see more of her, say so. Talk about it with your friends. Talk about it on social media. Let people know what you want to see, because I am totally down. Keep going.

Suzanne: All right. Well, I really appreciate you calling me.

Nicole: Yeah, of course. Thank you so much for taking the time.

Suzanne: Oh, yeah. No, I’m a big comic book fan and especially a CW superheroes fan. So, I love it.

Nicole: Yeah, it was really fun to get to do that. I mean, my era was like [unintelligible] back in the day, so to be on Supergirl was insane.

Suzanne: Oh, cool. All right. Well, thanks a lot.

Nicole: Thank you.

Nicole Maines Is Paving the Way for the Next Generation of LGBTQ Youth

Nicole Maines is just as much of a superhero on screen, as she is off screen… if not more! Born and raised in Maine, Nicole made her extraordinary mark on the world by being an LGBTQ+ activist and an indisputable voice for the transgender community. In 2014, Maines fought and won the Supreme Court case, Doe v. Clenchy, that moved the needle for transgender children by allowing them to use Nicole Maines on the cover of "The Advocate"

the school bathroom designated for the gender with which they identify. She is an inspiration on-and-off screen paving the way for the next generation of LGBTQ+ youth and being a beacon of light for all. Maines booked her first role guest starring in USA’s “Royal Pains” while studying at University of Maine and landed the lead role in 2019’s BIT, a movie about a transgender vampire moving to Los Angeles. Being able to be vulnerable and open to share with the world her journey of being transgender with the help of Amy Ellis Nutt in her New York Times Bestseller biography, “Becoming Nicole: The Transformation of an American Family” ignites us to share our truth.

When Nicole needs to recharge from being super actor-activist hero on-and-off screen, she loves playing video games on Xbox and the Nintendo Switch. In addition, Maines enjoys cosplay; anything to give her a reason to dress up, especially Star Wars themed. Growing up, Maines loved playing dress up because it was how she could express herself before transitioning, she believes playing dress up gave her most of her inspiration and desire to pursue acting in college.

Update written by Joseph

At the hospital, Paulina complains about what’s taking so long. Lani assures they will hear something soon. Paulina decides she can’t wait around any longer and is going to get some answers. Lani worries that she’ll just get in the doctors’ way. Paulina asks if she’s just supposed to sit around not knowing if Abe is alive. Eli argues that this is not helping and tells her to get it together. Paulina says she’s just losing her mind worrying about Abe. Eli decides to see what he can find out.

Kayla says they are losing too much blood as they continue working on Abe. Kayla then worries that they are losing him as Abe’s monitor flatlines and orders CPR then says she has to put a chest tube in now.

John says he knows who he is and he’s ready for him. John swears to God that he will battle him for his wife and defeat him like he did the last time. The Devil in Marlena calls John clever and says there’s nothing he can do about it as Marlena’s eyes turn yellow. The Devil declares that Marlena is his now. The Devil then causes the cross on the wall of the chapel to turn upside down. John demands he leave her alone and release her. The Devil refuses after all the time he put in to possessing her. John tries to get through to Marlena. The Devil threatens to hurt Marlena. John says he won’t let him. The Devil asks how he plans to stop him. John goes towards the holy water but the Devil says he prepared for that and turns the holy water red then asks if John has any better ideas.

Julie joins Lani and Paulina at the hospital and says she just heard. Julie mentions just leaving Marlena at the church and says they let a candle for Abe. Lani thanks her and says they really appreciate that. Julie mentions having to get through all the reporters. Julie encourages Paulina to just focus on Abe and hopes that by now, he’s past the worst of it.

Kayla and the doctors try to revive Abe. Eli walks in. One of the nurses say he can’t be in here. Eli reveals he is Salem PD and asks Kayla what’s going on. Kayla then responds that Abe is gone.

Abe appears to enter the afterlife in a bright garden where he sees his ex-wife, Lexie.

John tries a prayer but the Devil says his meaningless prayer won’t help Marlena and is just making him want to hurt her more. John asks him not to, so the Devil tells him to do what he says. The Devil warns that all he has to do is snap his fingers and he can stop Marlena’s heart. John tries to go after him but the Devil transports around the room in Marlena. The Devil reveals to John that he was going to kill Doug if Marlena didn’t let him back in but Marlena couldn’t let her dear friend die, so they are together again. John doesn’t understand since it’s been over 25 years so he asks why he would come back for her now.

Julie encourages Paulina to just sit with her and Lani for awhile. Julie brings up Paulina and Abe’s engagement so she congratulates her. Paulina thanks her and says they were very happy. Julie talks about Abe being a dear friend to her and Doug for such a long time, which is one of the reasons they were thrilled by Eli and Lani’s marriage since they were finally family. Paulina asks how long they have known Abe. Julie talks about when Abe was a cop and working on a case involving her son, David, who is Eli’s father. Julie adds that they have known Abe for 40 years and she knows he will be around for many more.

Eli argues that this is not possible. Kayla tells him that she’s sorry but Abe has no heartbeat. Eli asks if there’s nothing else she can do and pleads with her. Kayla calls it a longshot but decides to keep going and not give up.

Abe approaches his vision of Lexie in the afterlife and says it’s been 10 years since he lost her and not a day has gone by that he doesn’t think of her and miss her as she is still in his and Theo’s hearts. Abe talks about Theo. Lexie responds that he raised him well. Abe refuses to take all of the credit and assures that Lexie is always there as he hugs her.

The Devil recalls Marlena being alone the first time he possessed her which made his job so easy. John argues that now Marlena is surrounded by people who love her. The Devil calls it a shield and admits he’s never seen Marlena as strong as she’s become. The Devil says that in the dark days, under the spell of Andre, she was so distraught when she killed all those innocent civilians of Salem, starting with Abe, but it turned out they were all alive. The Devil remarks that now Abe is not so lucky.

Paulina calls 40 years a long time to know somebody. Julie says time flies but Abe hasn’t changed much as he was always a wonderful man. Paulina talks about first seeing Abe 8 months ago and feeling like she’s known him forever. Paulina flashes back to Lani introducing her to Abe. Paulina cries that she can’t lose Abe now. Lani encourages that they are not going to lose him. Eli comes back, so Paulina asks if Abe is going to be alright.

Kayla continues working on Abe, trying to bring him back.

Abe’s conversation with Lexie in the afterlife continues as he tells her about looking through an old photo album of them. Abe flashes back to when he and Lexie were first planning to having Theo. Abe tells Lexie that she lives on in Theo as they both will. Abe talks about another photo album and seeing the sadness in their eyes which made him wish he was kinder and more compassionate about her struggle and how much she had to overcome as he flashes back to arguing with Lexie about the baby switch with Hope and Bo’s son Zack.

Eli tells Paulina that they are still working on Abe and that Kayla said it could be awhile. Paulina doesn’t have a good feeling. Julie suggests to Paulina that they all go to the church since they can’t do much for Abe but he could use their prayers.

The Devil tells John about how Marlena hated herself for being Andre’s pawn which he thought was his chance but then all her victims turned out to be alive. John recalls them getting back together after that. The Devil talks about waiting for years and finally getting his chance. He brings up Stefano creating a situation where Marlena believed John was killed in a hit and run. The Devil acknowledges that John and Marlena always found their way back together like always and then he found Doug, who became his target. John realizes that the Devil possessed Doug and that’s why he was doing those things to Julie. John recalls all the times Doug tried to warn him about Marlena. The Devil points out that John wouldn’t listen but he was afraid that at some point, he might believe Doug, so he clocked Julie over the head and framed Doug. The Devil reveals he had Marlena commit Doug to Bayview long term and he can’t have anyone see him since Doug was the only person who knew, so he was taken care of. The Devil adds that now John knows about him and that’s a problem.

Lani mentions having to call Brandon and Theo to break the news. Lani tells Eli that she hates having to tell Theo when he’s so far away. Lani calls Theo and says she’s sorry to wake him up in the middle of the night but something happened to Abe. Julie pours coffee for Paulina. Paulina talks about usually keeping it together and never falling apart. Julie understands when something like this happens, they remember they are only human. Paulina hates feeling so helpless. Julie relates since the doctors at Bayview won’t let her see Doug. Paulina argues that she is his wife. Julie explains that they say Doug is not himself and a danger but it’s killing her to not be there for him. Paulina offers to get her a lawyer to get her in. Julie thanks her and agrees to think about it. Julie believes that Abe and Doug feel they are with them even if they aren’t in the same room. Julie assures they want to be with them just as much as they do. Julie suggests they be there for each other until they can hold them, since they sort of get each other. Paulina agrees that they have the same chip. Paulina thanks Julie as they hug.

Abe’s afterlife vision with Lexie continues as he talks about how brave and selfless she was when he lost her. Abe tells Lexie that now they will be together again but Lexie says no, they can’t.

The Devil knew it wouldn’t take John long to figure out something was wrong with Marlena since he’s been through it before. The Devil adds that he did pick up some new techniques over the decades. John says they won’t help him hold on to Marlena any more than his old ones. John declares that he beat him once and he’s going to beat him again, because the love that he and Marlena share is stronger than any bond he will ever have on her. John states that he’s getting his wife back and he’s not leaving the church until he takes her with him. The Devil argues that John is wasting his time since Marlena has given herself to him completely. John tries to get through to Marlena but the Devil shouts that Marlena can’t hear him. Marlena tries to break free but the Devil knocks John back and then knocks things over in the church. The Devil then uses his powers to pull John back in and then throws him in to the wall, knocking him out.

Paulina asks how Theo took the news. Lani says he sounded alright but she can tell that he was scared. Lani adds that Theo will get on the first flight from South Africa. Lani says she couldn’t reach Brandon but left a message. Julie hopes he can make it, noting that it’s important for Abe to have his children around him. Julie calls it a blessing that Lani is there and hopes she knows how much her father loves her. Lani calls Abe the dad that she always dreamed of. Lani says they were robbed of so much that this can’t be the end because she doesn’t know how she would stand it. Paulina looks on with a worried expression.

Abe questions not being able to be with Lexie. Lexie says she will be there waiting but it’s not his time yet and he knows that. Abe confirms that he knows it now as his children need him along with his grandchildren, friends, and Paulina, so he has to go back. Abe kisses Lexie goodbye in his vision and says he’ll be seeing her in his heart and so will Theo. Lexie waves goodbye as Abe then exits the afterlife.

Kayla continues working on Abe. One of the nurses thinks it’s time to call it. Kayla reluctantly agrees and prepares to announce the time of death when suddenly Abe’s heart begins beating again. Kayla asks if Abe can hear her as she exclaims that they have a heartbeat.

The Devil tells John that he has waited a lifetime for this. The Devil grabs a candle holder and prepares to kill John but Marlena begins fighting him from inside of her. The Devil declares that he won’t kill him yet then since he may be useful in some way, but he can’t leave him here in this condition. The Devil then drags John away.

Kayla comes out of the operating room. Lani asks how Abe is. Kayla says it was intense for awhile and he still needs surgery but she’s very optimistic that he’s going to pull through which relieves Lani, Eli, Julie, and Paulina. Lani asks if they can see him. Kayla says just for a short time since he went through a major trauma and is very weak. Lani agrees to not stay long as she thanks Kayla. Lani asks if Paulina can come with her which Kayla allows. Lani and Paulina then head together to see Abe as Eli hugs Julie.

Abe wakes up in his hospital bed to see Paulina and Lani at his side. Abe says their names. Lani tells him he doesn’t have to talk as opening his eyes is enough for her. Lani says he gave everyone a real scare but he’s going to be okay. Paulina thanks Abe for fighting his way back to them and says they love him so much as Abe sees his vision of Lexie leave the room.

Young & The Restless Update

Recap written by Christine

Devon and Amanda were at home. He hadn’t heard anything from Abby, and he was worried about her and what it’d do to her if Chance died. Amanda said not to jump to the worst case scenario. She said Chance was smart and savvy, and she pointed out that he helped nail Colin when he tried to steal Devon’s inheritance. Devon didn’t understand why Chance would bring a personally engraved watch on a dangerous mission and risk blowing his cover. Amanda noted that the watch was in the safe house – Chance didn’t have it on him. Devon countered that it made no sense for Chance to have it at all. It was a big risk to take, especially when you had a family to come home to. He said Abby was living through a nightmare, and the only thing keeping her going was the belief that her husband was coming home to her. If that was taken away, Abby would need a lot of support from the people who loved her. Amanda said Abby would get it.

Devon asked Amanda about Sutton’s trial. Devon wasn’t happy that Michael was trying to pressure Amanda to take the stand. She said she decided to testify. Devon was worried. He thought Michael could win without putting her on the stand. She agreed, but she had to do this because Sutton killed her father. She had to tell Sutton to his face that she knew what he did. Devon was sure Amanda thought this through, so he supported her 100%. She called him the nicest guy on the planet. He said he was no saint. He admitted he was unjustifiably angry with Chance. Devon said Chance put Abby through hell. Devon knew it wasn’t fair of him to say that, though. He hoped Chance was safe, and if he came home, Devon was going to let Chance know how he felt. Amanda told Devon that he was a really good man. She knew he was worried, so she encouraged him to check on Abby and the baby.

Mariah and Tessa were on a walk in the park. Mariah had texted Abby, and she didn’t reply. Mariah thought about Abby and poor little Bowie possibly losing Chance. Tessa thought they should follow Abby’s lead and stay positive. Mariah said that Abby was so fervent in her belief that Chance was still alive that it was running her ragged, and it was having an effect on Bowie’s emotional state. Mariah could tell. Tessa was worried about Mariah’s attachment to the baby. Mariah told Tessa to relax. Mariah thought that, since she was worried for Abby, it was natural that her thoughts drifted to the baby. The possibility that Chance was gone put things into perspective for Mariah and made her appreciate the gifts she had in her life, like Tessa. Noah jogged up and said hello. Mariah got a text. Tessa asked if it was Abby. Mariah said it was work, so she left to handle it. Noah asked what was going on with Abby, and he asked if he should call her. Tessa said not to bother Abby. She figured Noah should know this since it was about his family.

Noah felt bad for Abby and wished there was something he could do to help. Tess asked Noah not to tell the rest of his family what was going on, since Abby wanted space. He asked if anyone in his family knew, and Tessa said his grandfather did. Tessa thought Abby felt that accepting sympathy would make the situation worse. Noah said Newmans didn’t accept help unless it was forced on them, usually by another Newman. He assumed this must be especially hard on Mariah, because of the baby, not to mention how hard it was on Tessa.

Victor knocked on Abby’s door, and when he didn’t get an answer, he walked in, since the door was unlocked. She was in the living room with her headphones on, and she said she’d been trying to do relaxation exercises. He didn’t have any news on Chance. He insisted that she get a snack to keep her strength up, and he told her to make sure she kept the front door locked. He asked where Ashley was, and Abby said she sent her home to rest. Abby hadn’t heard from Christine, so she’d been doing her own research. She found an explosion in Valencia, Spain. There was nothing on survivors or victims. The reports said it was a gas leak, but Christine said it was a bomb. Abby didn’t care how it happened, she just needed to know her husband was alive. Victor had news. When Abby asked why he didn’t say anything sooner, he said he’d wanted her to eat first. According to Victor, Christine was right. Someone found out Chance and his colleagues were using that place as a safe house, and they bombed it. Abby asserted that Chance was likely laying low to protect his colleagues. Victor said the State Department was looking into this. Four of Chance’s colleagues were classified as “killed in the line of duty.” Abby was adamant that Chance was not in that building. She said he’d come home when the coast was clear.

Victor asked if Nina had been told. Abby wanted to tell Nina, but Christine had insisted on handling it. Abby assumed that Christine was waiting for confirmation instead of putting Chance’s mother through what they’d all been going through. Victor didn’t think Nina should be kept in the dark, and Abby agreed. He offered to call Nina, but Abby said she’d call Christine and tell her that she needed to let Nina know. Abby thought that Christine needed to be the one to break the news to her best friend. Abby said they needed to stay positive. Abby and Victor hugged, and he promised he’d always be there for her.

Abby left the room to make the call. When she came back, Victor had Dominic. Abby was crying, and she didn’t think she should be around the baby like this, so she left the house. Mariah arrived just as Abby ran out. Victor handed the baby to Mariah and went after his daughter. Devon came to see Abby and found Mariah and Dominic. She told him what little she knew – that Abby ran out, and Victor followed her. Mariah said she went to work for a little bit, then she felt compelled to come here. He said that if the worst happened, it’d take all their support to help Abby get through this. He said he could watch the baby if she needed to go to work. She said she couldn’t focus on work right now. She needed to be here in case something happened. It felt like it was part of the pact they made when she became a surrogate. Christine showed up.

Abby went to the park and talked to Chance. She said she’d hold onto to the promises he made the day he proposed. She knew he’d never break his word. Victor caught up with Abby. She apologized. She felt like a fool sitting in the park talking to herself. She said she couldn’t fall apart in front of Dominic, because he was so sensitive to her emotional state. Victor said Dominic was a strong boy, and he’d be alright. Abby knew Chance was alive, so she didn’t know why she was falling apart. Victor thought Abby was rightfully upset. He told her she could always lean on him. They hugged.

Abby and Victor went back to the house. Abby didn’t want to be coddled, so she just wanted to know why Christine was there. Christine had Chance’s wedding ring, which had been found at the site of the explosion. Victor said that Chance wouldn’t have been wearing that when he was undercover. Christine thought so too at first, but she’d learned that Chance had gone developed a cover story about being a married businessman, and he’d worn the ring. Evidently, Chance never wanted to take off the ring. Christine asked Abby if it belonged to Chance. Abby took the ring and burst into tears.

Nick was in Phyllis’s room. He had the table set with all her favorite breakfast foods. He wanted to share a meal and then have a real talk so they could get past this. She was willing to give it a try. He noted that they were in a similar place a year ago – holed up in this room, dissecting their relationship and trying to figure out where it was going. He didn’t regret the past year and a half. She didn’t either, but something was off. She felt like they were going backwards. She asked how they could get back to where things were good. He thought they should start with an apology. She didn’t think she had anything to apologize for. He meant that he needed to say sorry to her.

Nick was sorry things were so brittle in Italy. Phyllis said Milan was fun. He agreed that Summer’s wedding was a blast, but Victoria’s wasn’t. He admitted he took his family issues out on Phyllis. He wished he’d never let his family get to him. She felt that they’d been out of sync for awhile. She couldn’t pinpoint exactly when that happened, but she guessed it was around the time she went after Sally and Tara for what they did to Summer. She said that all he’d done was keep giving her warnings. He replied that he eventually supported her, but he’d been concerned she was going to go overboard. She stated that going overboard was in her DNA, and she didn’t get why he’d tell her not to. He never meant to make her feel like she couldn’t be herself. He was nervous Summer would get hurt or that Phyllis would get in trouble. He’d tried to be the voice of reason. She said they knew each other too well, and there were profound differences between them. He agreed. She said he had to know she was going to go after Sally and Tara. She felt that it was going against who she was for him to tell her to stop. It was almost hurtful to her. Nick stated Phyllis knew how much family meant to him. He was very involved in Victoria, Nikki and sometimes Victor’s lives. He wasn’t proud of that, but it was who he was. He said she took issue with that in Italy. “Do you honestly think that was productive?,” he asked.

Phyllis noted that Nick sounded mad. He said he wasn’t. She said he was mad in Tuscany. She said they had little grievances that they didn’t deal with, and when things turned into big issues, they fixed it by hopping into bed. He admitted that was accurate, and he was amazed that method worked so long. She thought they had to do things differently. She asked if they’d been taking each other for granted for the past year and a half. He said he always appreciated her. She thought he liked her fun frothy side, and she thought there were parts of her personality that he wasn’t fond of. They noted that they’d had this same conversation a year ago, and they’d agreed to accept each other for who they were. “Right now we’re arguing about not allowing either one of us to be ourselves,” she said. He didn’t think it was possible to love every single thing about a person. No matter how good of a match you were, there would be aspects of a person that you didn’t care for. Phyllis thought that made sense for little things, but she said they were talking about huge chunks of each other’s personalities that they weren’t fond of. He said it never seemed to matter until right now. She asked if he’d always be close to his family, and he said yes. Phyllis knew Nick would reconcile with his family, and the Newmans would be sitting around having Thanksgiving dinner like nothing ever happened. “You’re never gonna change. Your family’s never gonna change. I’m never gonna change,” she said. She asked if they’d just been ignoring and skating around their issues.

Nick thought they were being honest with each other, not fooling themselves. He knew they had issues, but he was trying hard to see things from her vantage point. Phyllis knew he was, and she appreciated that. She said she wasn’t trying to self-sabotage or destroy the relationship. He thought it said a lot that they were trying to work through this. He said that, despite their differences, they meshed. It was a push-pull relationship, and the pull was that they loved each other, he stated. Phyllis was looking at the big picture, and usually the good outweighed the bad, but lately… Nick thought what truly mattered was that they loved each other and they were happy. She asked if he was truly happy. He inferred that she was asking this because she wasn’t happy. It hurt Phyllis to admit this, but she wasn’t happy, and she thought if Nick was honest with himself, he’d say the same thing.

Nick tensed and asked Phyllis not to put words in his mouth. He respected her feelings, and he wanted her to respect his too. He didn’t want her to make him feel like he wasn’t being honest. She said she wasn’t saying he wasn’t being honest with her or with himself. He felt like she was either accusing him of being dishonest, or she was saying he wasn’t smart enough to understand his feelings. She denied saying this. He said they’d been having miscommunications, but all that mattered was their relationship, and what they had was amazing. He said they were a lot more than video games and hot sex. She agreed. He mentioned that people said what Phyllis and Nick had was easy and comfortable, and he disagreed. She asked who said that. He didn’t think it mattered, but she thought it did. She asked who he went to for advice on their relationship. He said he didn’t need other people’s opinions, because they weren’t helping. Especially when they were coming from someone like Jack, who was waiting in the wings for her.

Phyllis was adamant that their issues had nothing to do with Jack, who was just a friend. Nick noted that Jack declared his love for her. “Who cares,” Phyllis asked. She pointed out that Jack wanted the best for them. Nick didn’t think Phyllis should be running to Jack every time she had a problem. She denied doing this. She said Jack was a friend, and he’d helped her. “Because he knows you so much better than I do,” Nick grumbled. Phyllis thought they were getting off topic; this conversation was supposed to be about them, but now all of a sudden they were talking about Jack and whoever was whispering in Nick’s ear about the relationship. “This is about us and nobody else,” she said. He asked if they were together in this or not.

Recap written by Christine

Nick went to Phyllis’s suite and found the remnants of a romantic meal for two. One full plate of food was left, but both glasses of champagne were finished. He didn’t know she had something romantic planned last night. She thought his text yesterday was dismissive. She understood that Christian was sick and that he came first, but she felt blown off. He said that wasn’t his intention, and she said that was his instinct. He was ready to talk, but she was too busy and hungover for that. She left.

When Phyllis got downstairs, she ran into Jack. He was there for a breakfast appointment that got canceled. She told him she tried and failed to make progress with Nick. She felt like her relationship was crashing. She suggested she was blowing things out of proportion, so he offered to lend an ear and help her get some perspective. Jack went to the lounge while Phyllis got their coffee. Nick came downstairs and noted that Phyllis had time for coffee with Jack but she didn’t have time to talk with Nick. She said she was frustrated and angry, and she thought Jack could calm her down. He commented that she was angry at the text, and she clarified that it wasn’t just that, it was also the argument they had yesterday. She went through the trouble to arrange the romantic dinner which ended in her drinking a bunch of champagne alone. She knew overindulging was a mistake. He said he wasn’t judging. “That’s shocking because you usually would. That’s why I felt the need to criticize myself before you had a chance to,” she said. He was sorry he made her feel like that. She said she was just hurt and angry, and she felt like they were out of sync. He thought that not talking was making the problem worse. She said she just needed some space before she said the wrong thing. He understood. He guessed they both let their emotions get the better of them. He said she ad nothing to be scared of. He looked over at Jack, then he left.

Phyllis went to Jack and asked if they could get out of here. He took her to the park. She was sorry she kept dumping her stuff on him. He didn’t want her feeling bad about turning to a friend. She told him what happened last night. She wasn’t sure that Nick was telling the truth about Christian needing him. Jack asked if Phyllis thought Nick would use his son as an excuse not to talk to her. She didn’t know anymore. She just knew that the turmoil with Nick’s family seemed to be bringing out issues in his relationship with her. Jack asked if Phyllis could articulate those issues to Nick and to herself. “No. I don’t even know what they are,” she admitted. She knew that yesterday, Nick was just as frustrated with her as she was with him, then he showed up this morning like there was no problem and it was just a bump in the road. She said it wasn’t a bump in the road – she and Nick weren’t okay. She said she wasn’t okay, and she didn’t live in denial. She didn’t know what was happening with her and Nick, but none of it was okay.

Phyllis said Nick was going through so much with his family, and he didn’t want to hear the truth. Jack suggested that Phyllis’s truth wasn’t the same as Nick’s truth. He noted that when things got tough with her father, she cut ties with her whole family. She bristled at him bringing up her dad right now. She said she left the family because her father was a horrible man who stole from the elderly. He knew that, but he suggested that, deep down inside, she wanted Nick to make the same decision she made, even though she knew history had proven he couldn’t. Jack thought maybe Phyllis was holding Nick’s choice against him because he made a different one than she did. She was unhappy with the insinuation that she was responsible for this. He clarified that he wasn’t blaming her. He said there were complicated dynamics involved, where Nick, Phyllis and the Newmans were concerned. Jack was sure Nick would agree that he hadn’t been his best. Over the years, Jack had noticed that when Phyllis’s back was up and she was insecure about her ability to solve a problem, she tended to look for an exit strategy. She asked if he was saying she blew up her relationships instead of seeing if they could work out. She asked if he was saying she was her own worst enemy. He said he’d hate for her to fall victim to a self fulfilling prophecy. He added that she and Nick had been through so much, yet they were perpetually drawn back together. Jack thought there was a reason for that. Phyllis added that there was a reason things didn’t work out.

Victoria and Ashland were at her office. She’d called the oncologist, and he’d contacted one of his doctors from NY for a second opinion. She got another text from Billy, who wanted to meet, and she ignored it. Nate had been contacted. When he arrived, Ashland showed him the test results. The chemo wasn’t effective. Victoria said they weren’t giving up hope. Ashland’s oncologist wanted to continue the current protocol, but Ashland didn’t think it was worth it. He would endure the side effects if he was making progress, but since he wasn’t, he thought it was time to change tactics. Victoria said they were researching some experimental treatments, and they wanted Nate’s take on it. Ashland put his arm around Victoria and said he had something to fight for.

Nate was happy to look into the treatment and give his opinion, but he did think that the oncologist was the person they should be talking to about the next step. Victoria said they weren’t happy with the oncologist, because he was close-minded about the options, and he didn’t listen to Ashland’s concerns. Nate said that sometimes a doctor wasn’t a good fit, and it was a good idea to get another opinion. Ashland appreciated that, and he appreciated Nate’s friendship. Nate said to email him the information about the Peruvian treatment, and he’d get back to them ASAP. He left. In the hallway, Nate looked glum. Back inside, Victoria was glad that Nate was going to look into this for them. Ashland noticed that Nate didn’t seem enthusiastic about the study, but Victoria figured that was just because he hadn’t read about it yet. Ashland said that before he decided to seek treatment, he was at peace with his fate. Victoria noted that it took a lot of work on her part to convince him to get help. He was glad that he did get treatment, and he hated the chance of giving up not being with her. But what if this was a battle he couldn’t win?

For awhile, Ashland was focused on wedding plans and praying Victoria would forgive him. Now they were married, and the harsh reality of his condition was staring him in the face. None of his power, money or influence could get him out of this. Maybe nothing would work. Victoria refused to accept that. She said statistically, some people had bought themselves more time and even beaten the cancer. He was scared because the odds weren’t in his favor. She asked when he started caring about odds – he’d beaten odds his entire life. She told him he’d better damn well fight this, like he promised he would. He felt like no one ever had as much faith in him as she did. She knew he’d have vulnerable moments, and she vowed to be strong for both of them. She said they couldn’t give up on their future. Ashland took Victoria’s hands and said message received. “When Victoria Newman orders you to fight, you fight,” he said. She was glad they understood each other. She believed in the power of a positive mental outlook. She knew it probably wouldn’t cure cancer, but it might help things. He said if Nate thought the protocol was worthwhile, that gave them another reason to be optimistic, but if the treatment looked like a good idea, they’d have to cancel their island getaway. She was fine with that. He said she deserved a beautiful honeymoon, and he was looking forward to shutting out the world and just being newlyweds. She just wanted him to get better, and they weren’t going to let anything stand in the way.

Noah went to work with Sharon, because he wanted to spend time with her. He loved the upgrades she’d made to Crimson Lights, though he noted that she’d kept the Gatsby-esque eye decoration. She wanted there to be a familiarity and warmth so that his place felt like home. He couldn’t believe how much Faith had grown up. Sharon said that Faith was starting to date. Noah heard Moses was a good guy. Sharon said he was. Noah was willing to play the opposing big brother if necessary, though. Sharon asked how long Noah was staying. He wasn’t sure. Elena walked in, and she was drained from working a lot and jet lagged from Italy. Sharon went to serve up an energy boost, and Elena told Noah it was good to see him. Elena wanted to order a pastry, but Sharon said the delivery was running late. Elena took her drink and left. Noah asked if Elena was a regular. Sharon explained that Elena lived in the apartment upstairs, where Lola used to live before she went to Miami. Noah was surprised because he assumed that Elena lived with Nate. He understood that couples needed separate spaces. Sharon wondered if this observation had something to do with what happened in London.

Noah commented that Sharon was determined to get the story. Sharon said she and Nick just wanted to know what was with Noah’s abrupt return. Of course they were thrilled to have him here though. He said he was in a relationship that was serious, at least for him, and he got his heart broken. He promised everything would be okay. He wanted to leave it at that instead of a doing a deep dive into a relationship with his mom. She asked if that was the only reason he left England. He said he really did feel like he was in a professional and artistic rut, and coming home seemed like the right choice. She jokingly told him that she heard that deep cleaning an espresso machine was a great way to get out of a rut.

Elena went to Society and Nate ran into her there. He wished he knew she’d be there, because he would’ve joined her. She knew he was busy meeting with Ashland and Victoria. He brought her up to speed on what happened at Newman. He said this wasn’t a typical medical consult – Ashland wasn’t a patient, he was a friend. Nate was personally invested in this, so he couldn’t maintain the usual degree of professional distance. He was worried that he wouldn’t be able to give the couple good news. She said that Ashland and Victoria asked Nate to help because they knew he could give it to them straight – they weren’t expecting him to perform a miracle. He wished he could save Ashland. Elena said all he had to do was read the study and give them the facts so they could make an informed decision. Nate was grateful to be with someone who understood. She yawned, and he said he’d take her home and tuck her in.

Nate went to Crimson Lights and sat on the patio. He called Ashland, who put Nate on speaker. Nate said there had been some promising research into this treatment, but it was a last resort. The chances of improvement were slim. He knew that wasn’t what Ashland and Victoria wanted to hear. Ashland was willing to do or try anything.

Nick showed up at Crimson Lights, and Noah could tell he wasn’t okay. He asked if things were worse between him and Phyllis. Nick changed the subject and said he hadn’t seen Victoria. Sharon spoke to Billy, and she understood Ashland’s past was darker than she realized. Nick didn’t want to get into details, but there was a line drawn in the sand on this family. Victor, Victoria and Adam were on one side, Nick was on the other, and Nikki was in the middle. Sharon thought it was a shame. Noah offered to help if he could. Sharon was there for Nick too. Noah was sure Phyllis had Nick’s back. Nick said he and Phyllis weren’t in a good place. Noah thought they’d seemed good in Italy. Nick said they spent most of the trip sniping at each other. He wasn’t sure if he was taking out his frustrations with the family on her, or if he’d just been hiding behind his anger for Victor and ignoring the ongoing problems. Every time he and Phyllis talked, it was one step forward and six steps back. He felt unsettled, because before all this, he thought he and Phyllis were solid. Noah said it was a weird feeling thinking things were okay, until it suddenly wasn’t. Nick thought it sounded like Noah was speaking from experience. Noah admitted he was. Nick asked if Noah was running from a breakup. Noah just wanted to be around his family. It was nice to be surrounded by people you loved, especially after your relationship went off the rails. Noah was sure Nick and Phyllis would pull through though. Nick noticed Sharon was quiet. She asked what he wanted her to say.

Sharon said every relationship had its issues – she and Rey did, but they worked on them. It was part of a successful relationship. Nick asked what Sharon thought about him and Sharon. Sharon said communication was key, and Nick joked about how generic that was. Sharon said last time they talked about this, she said she just wanted Nick to be happy, and he jumped to the conclusion that she thought he was settling. He admitted he’d been unfair to jump to that conclusion. She was biased when it came to him and Phyllis, so she wasn’t the best person to ask. He was sorry he put her in this awkward position. He usually talked to Victoria about stuff like this, but he couldn’t do that. He had the best of intentions with Victoria, but she didn’t understand why he did what he did, now there was a wall between them, just like there was between him and Phyllis. He was starting to wonder if he was the problem.

Noah said there was no way Nick was single-handedly responsible for the way things were going with Victoria. Noah was sure that Victoria and Nick could work things out because they were all family until they died. Nick called that a blessing and a curse. As for Phyllis, Noah thought Nick should try and get to the root of the problem and fix things as soon as they could. Nick admitted it wasn’t that simple. He acknowledged that he and Phyllis had a long rocky past; they hurt each other a lot, and they couldn’t ignore the fact that history could repeat itself. Noah said not to let it become a self-fulfilling prophecy. He said Nick could either turn himself into a victim or fight for what he wanted. Nick believed in his relationship with Phyllis even though he felt her pulling away. He was going to make her see that what they had was worth fighting for, and he was going to start right now. He left. Sharon was impressed with the advice Noah gave Nick. Noah knew Sharon had to walk a fine line on this with Nick, but he said she could be honest with him. He asked what Sharon really thought about Nick and Phyllis. Sharon wanted what was best for Nick, and she’d never believe Phyllis was what best. Noah asked if Sharon thought Phyllis and Nick could make it. Sharon took no pleasure in this, but she thought that relationship was going to fall off a cliff, and it was only a question of when.

When Phyllis got home, Nick was there, and he’d set up a romantic meal.

Recap written by Christine

Ashley, Devon, Tessa and Mariah were at the Chancellor house to support Abby while she waited for news on Chance. Christine entered the room with some photos of things found in the explosion. She asked Abby to look at one. Abby was crushed because she saw Chance’s watch – a family heirloom that Nina gave him before the wedding. Christine said they found it buried in the rubble. Abby pulled herself together and said that this was a good sign. The watch was engraved with “Phillip Chancellor” so Chance wouldn’t have been wearing it if he was undercover. That had to mean that he wasn’t in the building when the bomb went off. Ashley, Mariah and Tessa all said that was a possibility – maybe Chance was in hiding somewhere. Abby asked what Devon thought. Devon didn’t think guessing would be helpful; he felt they should wait until they had something concrete.

Abby didn’t know why everyone looked so upset. She said that Chance must’ve left the watch behind, and he probably wasn’t even in the building when the bomb went off. Christine pointed out that there were no sightings of Chance. Abby said that he was probably in hiding, like Tessa and Mariah said. Abby asked Christine to make more calls. Christine left the room. Abby asked the others to hope and trust that Chance would come home. She said Chance never gave up, and they couldn’t give up on him. Abby pointed out that Tessa didn’t throw in the towel when Mariah went missing – they all kept the faith, and Mariah and the baby made it home. Abby knew that Chance would come home to her and Dominic.

Abby wondered if she should’ve gone with Christine. Ashley didn’t think that it would be a good idea for Abby to hear unconfirmed rumors. Devon was already elsewhere, and Ashley asked Tessa and Mariah to go make snacks. Abby wished everyone would go home and stop staring at her as she slowly lost her mind. Ashley said she wouldn’t let Ashley go through this alone. Devon walked back in. Abby forcefully said that nothing anyone did would help. The only thing that would help was hearing Chance’s voice again. She didn’t care how many pictures people shoved in her face, and she wasn’t going to take the word of a stranger from the state department. The baby started crying, and Abby apologized to him and picked him up.

Mariah returned because she heard the baby crying. Abby wasn’t able to calm him down. Mariah asked if she could help, and Ashley sent her to warm up a bottle. Devon took Dominic, and he immediately settled. Abby felt like she couldn’t do anything right – she couldn’t help Chance, and she couldn’t give her baby what he needed. Abby wanted to be by herself, so she left the house. Ashley wished there was something she could do for Abby. Mariah came back. Ashley hated the thought that Chance and Dominic might not meet. Mariah said they had to stay positive. She wondered if they should go after Abby, but Ashley thought they should let her have space. Ashley told Devon that he was a natural with the baby. Christine came back, and she didn’t have any news. Devon asked what Christine’s opinion was. Christine said the explosion happened in the middle of the night, so it wasn’t necessarily true that Chance took off the watch because he was going to meet someone – he may have taken it off to go to bed. She didn’t want to say that in front of Abby, though. She wished she had better news. Ashley thanked Christine for delivering the news in person. Mariah vowed to be there for Abby.

Abby went to the park. She said she wanted to be here, where Chance proposed to her. She remembered that he said their life would be full of adventure and that they could handle everything life threw at them. She didn’t care what everyone said. She wasn’t giving up on him. She couldn’t. She called Victor and asked for his help.

Chloe and Kevin were at the park watching from afar as Esther played with Miles. Chloe went on social media and noticed that Lauren hadn’t reacted to any of the pictures of the kids in their Halloween costumes. Usually, Lauren was the first to comment or leave an emoji. Kevin suggested that Lauren was busy, but Chloe thought Lauren was still mad at her for letting Sally swap the wedding dresses. Kevin thought Chloe was reading too much into Lauren not liking her photos on social media. Chloe decided to visit Lauren, but she changed her mind when Kevin convinced her that Lauren needed time and space. Kevin asked if Sally had more tricks up her sleeve. Chloe had no idea, since Sally was so unpredictable. Sally was riding high off her success, which might inspire her to take more risks, plus she was grateful to Adam, which meant she wouldn’t listen to the warnings to stay away from him. Chloe got another email from a chain of bridal boutiques who wanted to buy Victoria’s dress style and wanted to know what else Sally was working on. Kevin cheered on Newman Fashion. Chloe said they had to give it to Sally. Chloe said when Chelsea came back, Chloe would have the most incredible designers working together. Kevin thought Chelsea and Sally were a recipe for disaster – Sally had a thing for Adam, and Chelsea was possessive of him. Chloe was sure that she could keep things running smoothly.

Adam listened in on Sally and Billy’s conversation. Billy thought Sally and Adam were dating. She clarified that Adam only took her to Tuscany so she could give Victoria the dress. Billy assumed that Sally was using Adam to further her career. Sally called Billy cynical, and he said if he was, it was only because Adam showed him how low a person could sink. Sally liked and respected Adam. Billy said Adam was smooth and charming, and that only made him more dangerous. He thought she should heed the warning of the person who told her to avoid Adam. Adam walked over, and Sally said that Billy was trying to dig up dirt on Adam. Adam told Billy that he reeked of desperation.

Billy warned Sally to expect lies, manipulation, deceit, and treachery from Adam. Adam noted that Billy said this speech all the time. Billy didn’t understand how Adam kept drawing in new victims. Sally replied that she was no one’s victim. Adam thought Billy spent more time following him than doing his job at ChancComm. Billy said that his job description was following Adam, who’d been a source of scandal and depravity for years, and Billy didn’t think that would change. Sally said they’d have to get used to Billy lurking in the background, which wasn’t what she expected of CEO behavior. Billy said CEOs were supposed to decimate the competition. Adam agreed on that point.

Lily came to Crimson Lights and talked with Sharon. They noticed Billy, Adam and Sally out on the patio. Rey walked in and overheard Sharon asking Lily to convince Billy to leave Adam alone.

Back on the patio, Billy asked Sally if she knew what happened to Chelsea. Sally made it clear that she wasn’t going to thank Billy for the cautionary tales. She was capable of looking out for herself. Billy had heard that about her. Sally was sure that Adam had been warned about her just as much as she’d been warned about him, but they were both rebuilding their lives without judging each other. Adam said Billy warned people to stay away from him, but he couldn’t take his own advice.

Inside Crimson Lights Lily didn’t see a reason to get involved. She wasn’t responsible for what Billy did, and she’d be surprised if Adam asked Sharon to intervene. Sharon saw Rey and she went over to him. Billy entered and Lily asked what was going on with Adam. He said it wasn’t worth repeating. They received their order and left.

Rey came by to tell Sharon about his conversation with Noah, but now he wanted to know what she and Lily were talking about. She said they were talking about Billy. She ranted about how irritating Billy was at times. From what Rey overheard, it sounded like it had more to do with Sharon’s feelings about Adam.

On the patio, Sally asked what Billy was talking about and who Jesse Gaines was. Adam brushed it off as Billy posturing. Adam appreciated Sally defending him. Sally wasn’t sure it made a difference. Adam said it made a difference to him. She said not to read too much into it. She was just treating him the way she wanted to be treated – basing her opinions on who he was now, not who he used to be. He appreciated that. He came to apologize for being so abrupt earlier. She thanked him. She said that Billy seemed to be on a mission to bring down Adam and Newman Media. Adam said that Billy wasn’t a threat. Sally didn’t think Adam believed that, and she asked how concerned she should be about Newman Fashion getting caught in the crossfire. He told her not to be concerned at all.

Back inside, Sharon looked out to the patio to make sure Adam and Sally were gone before continuing her discussion with Rey. She said that she would be just as annoyed with Billy if he were attacking someone other than Adam. She said that Billy was stirring things up and his accusations are way out of left field. He asked how she knew that, and she said she ran into Billy in the park and overheard part of his conversation. Rey noted that this happened after he told Sharon that it’d be better if she didn’t get involved. Sharon said she didn’t track Billy down – he was on the phone in a public place. Sharon thought Billy came to Rey because Rey had personal problems with Adam in the past. She felt like Billy was manipulating Rey. Rey said he didn’t get sucked in. Rey knew Sharon would react this way, and that was exactly why he didn’t want her to get involved. Sharon felt that she was having a normal and natural reaction to Billy spreading ugly rumors. Rey felt like Billy was asking reasonable questions. He said Adam had a nasty track record, but she said Adam had changed. He reminded her that Adam had recently kidnapped Chelsea, and she said that was a low point. He scoffed, and she noted that even Nick noticed how hard Adam was trying. She said Billy admitted he’d never get over what happened with Delia.

Sharon thought Billy would always see Adam as a monster. Rey asked Sharon if she saw Adam as a victim who always needed saving. She said no. He overheard what she said to Lily. She admitted that she shouldn’t have gotten involved, but she’d acted on impulse. He stated that it was always her impulse to protect Adam. He thought they both needed air, so he left.

Billy and Lily went to ChancComm. He told her that there was no activity on Gaines’ passport. She suggested that Gaines used a pseudonym or used the money Billy gave him to buy a car. Billy suggested that Gaines was still in Tuscany hiding out, or maybe he was dead. Lily didn’t think Adam or any of the Newmans were capable of murder. “Do not tell me that you actually think he is reformed,” Billy said. Lily thought there was a range between angel and cold-blooded killer. She asked why he always thought the worst of Adam. She pointed out that he thought Adam poisoned Rey, but Adam had been framed. He shifted gears and said they knew Adam and Victor were going after ChancComm. Lily asked Billy what the game plan was, and he said it was to find Gaines, dead or alive. He thought Gaines was their best weapon.

Lily said that if something happened to Gaines, the goal would be to prove Adam was responsible. Billy added that a bonus would be that it would destroy Newman Media. She asked him to please tell her he wasn’t hoping for this. He said that the best case scenario would be finding Gaines alive and getting his full cooperation. That way they’d have proof of Ashland’s crimes and proof that Adam and Victor were complicit in trying to cover it up. They would have leverage over all three of them. She said that even if they found Gaines, he might not want to talk to them. She had another idea for fending off an attack from Newman Media.

Lily thought they needed an ally who had influence over Victor and Ashland – Victoria. Billy said Victoria was furious with him over bringing Gaines to the wedding. Lily thought Billy was back in Victoria’s good graces after deleting the video. He didn’t feel comfortable asking Victoria for protection. Lily said they were capable of taking on Victor and Adam alone, but if Victoria could convince Victor to stand down, they could avoid this battle. He thought that was a good strategy. He wasn’t going to give up on trying to find Gaines though. She was fine with that as long as they worked the Victoria angle too. He texted Victoria asking to talk.

Sally ran into Chloe and Kevin in the park. Kevin left to get some coffee before work. Chloe asked Sally how it felt to be the most popular designer around. Sally said it was a dream. She asked how things were going between Chloe and Lauren. Chloe said they hadn’t made up completely but it’d happen. Sally mentioned that Billy and Adam got into a serious disagreement. Chloe wished Billy knew how to walk away from a fight. Sally said that she might just be paranoid, but it sounded like Billy and Adam were about to go to war. She was concerned that the fallout from their feud would hurt Newman Fashion.

Kevin ran into Rey on the patio at Crimson Lights. Rey compared Adam to a chronic disease that you could never get rid of. Kevin hadn’t had a good night’s sleep since Chloe started working for him. Rey asked why Chloe took the job. Kevin said she did it for Chelsea. He said Chloe was strong enough to take what she needed from Adam and keep her distance otherwise, but Kevin felt like she was playing with fire. He thought that one of these days, Adam would go too far and end up in prison for good. That day couldn’t come soon enough for Kevin.

Adam met with a private investigator in his office to talk about something. Adam said this was a confidential case that was just between them and Victor.

Recap written by Christine

In the park, Billy unsuccessfully tried to tell Sharon she misinterpreted what she overheard. She said he couldn’t let go of his anger toward Adam. He was surprised by her impulse to defend Adam, especially given how it affected her marriage to Rey. She told him not to dare turn this around on her. She asked what he hoped to get out of this attack, a juicy news story? She asked what he thought Adam did. He was surprised Rey didn’t tell her. Sharon suggested that Rey was discreet about spreading around unfounded allegations, but Billy didn’t have those scruples. Billy said he thought that Adam, on Victor’s orders, made a man disappear because he was a threat to Victoria and Ashland’s wedding. He said this guy had damning information about Ashland’s past, and he went to Tuscany to confront him. He told her that he’d be careful about championing Adam, because it looked like the old Adam was back. Sharon asked what Billy was saying happened – bribery? He was sure it wasn’t bribery, since the missing man took money from almost everyone, and he still went to Tuscany. She asked what he was suggesting – kidnapping? Murder? Billy noted that he never said any of those things, but he thought it was interesting that Sharon’s mind went there. He said she knew what Adam was capable of. Sharon thought the theories were impossible because Victor wouldn’t order something like that, and Adam had no motive to help, since he had no allegiance to Ashland, and there was no love lost with Victoria. Billy thought Adam would do anything to stay in the Newman fold. Sharon thought Billy was grasping at straws. She felt like Adam deserved a chance to turn his life around, just like everyone gave Billy a chance.

Adam was in the office with Victor, who was pleased that Adam was finally coming around on going to war with Billy. After seeing how focused Billy was on Gaines and Ashland, Adam thought this was the perfect time to strike. Adam believed that Victor set Billy up perfectly with that warning. Adam predicted that Billy would be distracted by Gaines and on high alert. Ashland entered as Victor said that Billy wouldn’t know what hit him. Ashland was on board with anything to take Billy down a notch. Adam said they’d been planning to include Ashland. Victor and Adam revealed that they wanted to destabilize ChancComm then take it over. Victor said they were successful at taking over Cyaxares and rebranding it as Newman Media. Ashland knew this had less to do with business and more to do with taking on Billy. Ashland wasn’t going to keep secrets from Victoria anymore, so he didn’t want them to tell him anything that they didn’t want her to know. Victor said he already told Billy that they were going after him. Victor told Ashland not to be concerned about letting Victoria know what they were up to.

Victor filled Ashland in. Ashland was impressed by the cleverness and ruthlessness of the plan. “Who knew Jesse Gaines would actually prove to be so useful?,” Ashland said. Victor and Adam were sure that Billy would fall into this trap. Victor said Billy would move quickly to try and hurt Newman Media. Everyone smiled about weakening ChancComm and ripping it out from under Billy.

Noah was in the cottage. He had his feet up on the coffee table, which was covered in empty takeout containers. He was on the phone, and he told someone that it was weird to be in Genoa City longer than a quick visit. He didn’t know what his future held. Rey walked in. Noah ended the call and flashed a sheepish smile. Rey helped an apologetic Noah clean up. Noah thanked Rey for letting him stay. Rey replied that Noah grew up in this home, and he was always welcome. Rey looked forward to getting to know Noah. Noah asked what was going on at the ranch. Rey said not much had changed, Victor got a few more horses. Faith was falling for Moses Winters. Sharon was amazing. Noah thought Rey was too. He heard Rey helped save Mariah. Noah was impressed with Rey’s devotion to Noah’s family. It made Noah feel less guilty for not being there. Rey said Noah’s mom and sisters were important to him. Noah asked about Rey’s family. Rey missed them, but Genoa City felt like home.

Rey and Noah relaxed on the couch. Noah promised to rein in his bachelor lifestyle and be more considerate. Rey hoped Noah would feel comfortable here and that living with them wouldn’t cramp his style. Noah said it wouldn’t be a problem. He didn’t know how long he’d stay. He spent a lot of years in the cottage, but it didn’t feel like home anymore. London didn’t feel like home either. Rey felt the same when he went to Miami. It took him awhile to settle in. He loved his family, but it wasn’t who he was anymore, and before long, he wanted to get back to Sharon and Genoa City. Noah said he felt in limbo between his childhood home and future home. Rey was sure Noah would figure it out, but there was no rush. Rey said that people were going to pressure Noah to stay in Genoa City for good.

At Newman Enterprises, Victoria showed Nikki some pictures of the wedding. Nikki said that the wedding agreed with Victoria – she was glowing and looked strong, happy and in love. Victoria felt that way too. She knew she and Ashland had challenges ahead, but she couldn’t be more content. Nikki hoped Victoria could work things out with Nick. Victoria didn’t want the thought of Nick bringing her down. She said she’d deal with it after the honeymoon. She was surprising Ashland with the perfect stress-free getaway to paradise, far away from everyone and everything, especially paparazzi. A private island, five star meals, masseuse. They would leave in a week if they could get caught up on all the work that built up while they were in Tuscany. Nikki was sure Victoria would work 24/7 to make that happen.

Ashland went to Victoria’s office after Nikki left. Victoria was so excited about the honeymoon that she couldn’t help showing him a picture of the place they were going. He didn’t react, and she asked what was going on. He revealed that Victor and Adam were making a move to crush ChancComm and fold it into Newman Media. From a business standpoint, it made sense to Ashland, and he’d done it many times before. She asked why he wanted her to know. He didn’t want secrets between them. He said she might not want Victor and Adam to go after Billy for the same reason he claimed to be trying to protect her – for the children. Victoria didn’t want anymore details. She said that if Billy wanted to play in the big leagues, he had to step up and protect his company. Ashland was surprised and impressed by Victoria’s response. He said he’d honor her wishes and keep the details from her. Victoria told Ashland he should feel flattered because he’d won her father’s respect. Victor only circled the wagons and went on the attack for family. Ashland thought that sounded like cause for celebration, and he suggested lunch at Society.

Noah ended up at the main house after a walk around the ranch. Nikki wanted to go riding with Noah, which they hadn’t done in years. They noted that, for once, he wasn’t in town because of a family crisis. She asked how long he’d be staying. When she was in London with him, she saw how fabulous his career was going. He thanked her, but said only a proud grandma would call his career fabulous. She teased that he got his endearing modesty from her. He was thinking he could do some more work for Newman Media. Nikki sensed Noah would be in town for awhile, and that made her happy. She felt like something was on his mind, and she wondered if there was a reason he left London. He said he wasn’t running from anything. He said he was worried about Nick. Nikki had been concerned too – Nick and Victor had always been different, but they were both stubborn, and this issue wouldn’t be going away any time soon.

Nick was at Phyllis’s suite, and things were still tense. He asked if they were ever going to talk, or if she was going to keep giving him the silent treatment. She coolly told him she had to go to work, but he said work could wait. He knew he upset her, but he was dealing with some things with his family, and he could use her support. She contended that he rejected her support. He said that when her support came in the form of Newman-bashing, it seemed like she wasn’t listening. She said she was listening and being supportive, and every time she did that, he got offended. He felt like she was telling him to push the hard issues aside because it was a lot easier than dealing with his contentious family. She denied doing that. He wanted to sit down and have a calm talk. She snapped that she wasn’t as calm as him. She was offended that he was insinuating that she didn’t have good communication skills and that she didn’t care about his feelings, and maybe the first one was true sometimes, but the second one wasn’t. He said he wasn’t doing that. She didn’t want to talk now. She needed space, and she left.

Sally ran into Jack at Crimson Lights and made some cryptic comments about how his relationship with Phyllis seemed to be deepening. He didn’t know what she was getting at, but he said she had her own tricky relationship to navigate with her new boss, Adam. He excused himself. Sally headed out to the patio where she ran into Adam. She told him that an article called her the next Vera Wang. He didn’t react, and she wasn’t sure if that was because he didn’t agree or because he didn’t know who that was. She wanted to do a write up on the dramatic story of getting the wedding dress to Victoria at the last minute. He admitted he didn’t care about the wedding dress press right now. She assumed this was his way of keeping their relationship strictly professional. She guessed she mistakenly thought that the fashion division was more important to Newman Media than it was. He told her to stop taking things so personally – there was more to Newman Media than her fashion line. He had a call to take, so he left.

Phyllis went to Crimson Lights, and Jack immediately knew something was wrong. She didn’t want to dump her problems on him. He said he could handle it. She said things weren’t getting better with Nick. She felt like she had to deal with a superficial relationship to make things work out – as soon as things got too deep, it crumbled. She said that no one was doing anything big, like cheating or keeping secrets, but it had all gone sideways. She asked what to do. He said no relationship was easy and the way couples handled the rough spots were a testament to the depth and strength of the relationship. She said she and Nick weren’t handling the rocky parts at all. She wasn’t sure they were even capable of it. She said Nick wanted to talk, but she left because she was concerned she would overreact. As someone who’d been on the receiving end of her temper, he thought that was probably a good idea. He said she could get her head in the right place before she had an important adult conversation. She thought he always knew the right thing to say. He told her not to give up.

Sally, who was still at the coffeehouse, thought about calling Adam, but she didn’t. She was on her way in from the patio when she saw Jack and Phyllis.

Adam was on a business call, and someone mentioned what an asset Sally was. He agreed and said they were happy to have her. The call ended, and he thought about calling Sally, but he didn’t. He left the office.

Later, Billy joined Sally at her table. He wanted background on a story about Newman Media and Jesse Gaines. Sally didn’t know who that was. He said that a source suggested Adam and Victor were involved in Jesse’s disappearance. He knew she rode on Adam’s private jet and he wondered if she heard anything about Jesse on the return flight. She had nothing to say to him. She knew he was a rival with Newman Media, and her loyalty lay with her employer. He saw her getting cozy with Adam at the palazzo. He said that Adam was savvy and dangerous and he only cared about himself. He told her to protect herself. She said he wasn’t the first to warn her about Adam, but she’d also been warned about Billy and his vendetta against Adam. She said she could make her own decisions. Adam arrived and he saw Sally and Billy talking.

Ashland and Victoria went to Society and ran into Victor. Victoria said Ashland told her about the plan. Victor started to explain that Billy had this coming. Victoria didn’t need to be convinced. She was on board, but she didn’t want the details. She said all was fair in business, and she was done protecting Billy.

Victor was on his way out of Society when Nick arrived. Victor wanted to go back inside and grab coffee with Nick, but Nick said he was grabbing a quick meal and going home to Christian. He mentioned that Noah was in town and that it’d be nice if he could spend time with his grandparents. Victor said that Nikki was planning a dinner. He hoped Nick would be there. Nick didn’t think that was a good idea. Victor hoped Nick could get over what happened in Tuscany. Nick felt like Victor used him then tossed him aside in favor of Adam. Nick said he was questioning his place in this family yet again. That broke Victor’s heart. He asked why Nick didn’t feel like he was part of the family. Nick said Victor’s lack of awareness was at the core of the problem – he never perceived how his actions were seen from his children’s point of view, at least not Nick’s. Victor didn’t understand, because he gave Nick everything he wanted and needed. Nick said this push-pull dynamic wasn’t going to go away. Nick wasn’t even angry, he was just exhausted. He wasn’t hungry anymore, so he left.

Victoria showed Ashland the honeymoon picture again. He commented that she was happy about it, and he said everything that made her happy made him happy too. The oncologist called with some test results. Ashland wanted to go home and talk, but Victoria insisted on hearing what the doctor said now. Ashland said the chemotherapy wasn’t working. Victoria said it was okay – they’d just find another treatment. She hoped he wasn’t giving up; they just had to fight harder.

Phyllis went home and texted Nick to see if he was ready to talk. She called room service and ordered all the bestselling food in the romance and honeymoon package for her and Nick. She grabbed some lingerie to put on, but then she got a text from Nick saying he was staying home because Christian had a cold.

Recap written by Christine

Abby paced around her living room and pointed out that Chance might not have been in the building when the bomb went off. Ashley said she believed that too, but she thought Christine was trying to prepare them. The doorbell rang, and Abby thought it might be the feds with news on Chance. Ashley answered the door, and it was Mariah and Tessa. Ashley’s grim expression made Mariah think something happened to Dominic, and she rushed into the living room. Christine explained that Chance was likely killed in an explosion. Tessa told Abby how sorry she was, and Ashley said they were trying to be positive. Mariah said it was definitely positive that Chance wasn’t in the building. At Abby’s request, Christine went to call a contact to see if she could get more information. Abby was looking for a distraction, so she asked why Mariah and Tessa came. Mariah gave Abby the bear. Abby wiped away tears and gave the bear to the baby.

Michael met with Amanda and Devon at Society. Michael said that the jury selection for Sutton’s case was complete, and he’d been able to remove some potential jurors who seemed biased toward Sutton. Amanda was glad Michael leveled the playing field, and she wished she could’ve been there to see him in action. The trial started next week. Amanda was pleased things were moving quickly because Naya had a heart condition, and a long drawn out trial wouldn’t be good for her. Michael wanted Amanda to testify against her grandfather. “You want me to testify against my grandfather?,” Amanda asked. Michael just wanted Amanda to take the stand and tell the jury what happened – that she accepted a role defending her grandfather, and after she did her research, she concluded that she couldn’t defend him after all. Devon thought Amanda’s conversations with Sutton were protected by attorney-client privilege. Michael only wanted Amanda to testify about the things she learned after she was fired. Amanda knew the defense wouldn’t like it, and Michael giddily said that defense’s heads would explode, which would only make the jury more interested in Amanda’s testimony. “What testimony is more compelling that Sutton Ames’ own granddaughter and, wait for it, former attorney,” Michael said.

Devon said that Michael was asking a lot. Michael knew, but this was a way to quickly and effectively present the case. Amanda said that Naya and Imani deserved peace. Devon was concerned about the effect this would have on Amanda. He thought she should consider what it meant to testify in open court and how that would effect her relationship with her mom and sister. He was also concerned that she’d be in danger if the trial went south and Sutton walked. Michael told Amanda that her testimony could span several days, and he wasn’t asking her to do this lightly. Devon got an emergency text from Abby, and he was torn because he didn’t want to leave Amanda while she was mulling over a big decision. Amanda said she’d be fine, but she asked him to let her know as soon as he knew what was going on. He said he loved her and left. Michael said that they’d go over Devon’s concerns and Amanda’s concerns one at a time, because he was convinced this was their best shot at conviction.

Amanda said the defense would say she was trying to settle a score with Sutton because he forced Naya to give up her and her twin at birth. Michael said he’d counter that by saying the mounting evidence convinced Amanda that Sutton was lying, so she went in search for the truth, and she found it. Amanda pointed out that Sutton never explicitly confessed on the recording. She was sure that the defense would say that the recording was inadmissible. Michael pointed out that the jury would know that the recording existed and that everything Amanda was saying was true, otherwise, why would the defense try so keep it out of the courtroom? He said that prosecutors rarely had a full confession. He stated that they had to take the jury on the same journey that Amanda took – show them that he was capable of having her father killed then hiring her for his defense. He said that was how they’d get justice for her father. “Okay. I’ll do it,” she said.

Michael figured that at least some of the jurors would be fans of or at least familiar with Hilary’s talk show. He believed those jurors would be moved when he told them how Amanda was denied the opportunity to meet or grow up with Hilary. Amanda thought that might be manipulative. He said it was a fact of the case, and this was a way to make an old murder seem as relevant as it was when it was committed. He said she’d let those people know exactly what Sutton took from her. She looked shaken, and he asked if she needed a break. She felt overwhelmed because she finally felt like they had a shot at winning the case. For the first time, she felt like she’d get justice for her father, and it would be enormously satisfying, but she’d trade it all for one day with her father.

Back at the Chancellor house, Christine said search and rescue were working through the rubble. Abby checked her phone for texts from Chance, but she didn’t get anything. She said she knew that he was okay, though. Abby begged Christine to make more calls. Christine went to reach out to someone else, even though she didn’t think they’d know anything. Abby left the room too. Mariah looked in on Dominic, who was sleeping through the whole thing. Devon arrived.

Devon got filled in, and he said it had been hard not to prepare himself for something like this, given how long the mission wore on and how dangerous it was. Ashley had been afraid something like this would happen. Mariah and Tessa advised that they were staying optimistic. Abby walked back in and hugged Devon. He assured her that none of them would give up. She said she could use his hope and strength.

Billy met with Rey at Crimson Lights. He explained that Gaines had disappeared just before he could reveal some damaging information about Ashland. None of Billy’s investigative reporters had been able to find Gaines, and Billy thought Adam had something to do with it. Rey asked what the nature of the information Gaines wanted to reveal was. Billy wouldn’t say, but he stated that Ashland paid a lot of money to keep this secret quiet, because it would jeopardize everything he built, and the Newmans had rallied around him. Billy had no proof of what Adam did, it was all instinct. Rey needed more than that to open an official investigation. Billy knew that, but he came to Rey because he thought Rey knew what kind of person Adam was. Billy said that this was Rey’s opportunity to get justice for Gaines and rid them of Adam once and for all. Sharon walked up and asked what Rey and Billy were talking about so intently.

Rey explained that Billy came to him about a missing person. Rey told Billy that this was out of his jurisdiction. Rey stated that all Billy had now was circumstantial evidence and conjecture. Rey was was willing approach the proper authorities if Billy came back to him with something more substantial. Billy left. Sharon asked Rey why Billy came to him. He pointed out that he was with the police. He said that Billy was probably working on something for a story. Sharon saw how intense Rey and Billy’s discussion was, and she sensed there was more to this. He said that this would probably turn out to be nothing, and there was no reason for her to get involved.

Sally was in Adam’s office. She reminded Adam that he’d said the best thing he could ask for was a productive and profitable day. She showed him fifteen glowing reviews on Victoria’s dress from the European fashion press. He thought that was fantastic invited her to lunch to celebrate, and she said that was great. After a moment, she said they’d invite Chloe and make it a working meal. She left.

Adam and Sally went to Society, and they ran into Billy. Sally stepped away to call Chloe. Adam heard from Victor that Billy deleted the video in Tuscany. He was shocked and impressed with Billy’s noble gesture. Billy wondered why Gaines didn’t follow through with his threat to publicly reveal Gaines’ secret. Adam concluded that Billy didn’t make a noble gesture after all and that he’d decided to let Gaines be the bad guy. Billy thought it was mysterious that Gaines just vanished. Adam asked why Billy looked for the nefarious side of everything. Billy stated that everything Adam was involved in was nefarious.

Billy thought Adam was pretending to care about his family – saving teens from crashes and donating organs to win Sharon over. Billy said he wasn’t fooled by Adam, and neither was anyone else who knew the lengths he’d go to get approval from Victor. Adam surmised that Billy thought he had something to do with Gaines going off grid. “I didn’t say that,” Billy said. “But it is interesting that you would go there,” Billy added. Adam suggested that Gaines grew a conscience. “I mean that happens. Look at you… Okay but that was actually a really bad example,” Adam said. Billy didn’t think so. Adam suggested Gaines got another offer, but he didn’t think they’d ever know. Billy said he’d take that bet. Sally returned and Billy left.

Chloe couldn’t make it. Sally asked what was the deal with Billy. Adam said that it had become a game with them – they called each other out and pushed each other’s buttons. “We both claim we’re trying to better ourselves, but neither one of us believes the other is capable of doing it,” he admitted. Sally thought Adam had changed tremendously, at least from everything she heard and read. She asked if he wasn’t allowing for the possibility that Billy was too. Adam said the difference was he didn’t like who he used to be, but he thought Billy still missed his reckless lifestyle. He said Billy was a gambler who lost more than he won – he was an addict who found another way to chase the rush. He said Billy would never forgive him for Delia’s death, and there was nothing Adam could do about it. He said Billy would never stop grieving for his daughter, and he’d never stop hating Adam. Adam understood that he earned Billy’s hatred, but he’d never like, trust or respect Billy. She asked if he was afraid of what Billy might do to him one day. He wasn’t worried about Billy, but he said things were going to get worse between them. She asked why. He said the details didn’t matter. He didn’t want her to worry.

Billy went to the park. He called Marty and told her that Gaines disappeared and this time, it wasn’t his doing. Gaines was too big of a threat to the Newman family. He theorized that Adam was behind it, but the police didn’t have enough to go on. He asked Marty to drop everything and start an investigation to find Gaines. She agreed. The call ended. Sharon was there, and she’d heard enough to know he was investigating Adam. She said he went to Rey, hoping to dredge up the bad blood Rey and Adam had between them in the past. He said that wasn’t his intention. She felt like he kept finding excuses to target or hurt Adam, and she asked when he was going to let go of his hatred.

Nick went to The Grand Phoenix. Phyllis noted that the first person he saw when he arrived in Genoa City was not her, but Sharon. He explained that Noah wanted to surprise his mother and share his big news – he was staying in Genoa City for the foreseeable future. Nick had wanted to be there with Noah when he talked to Sharon. Nick was concerned because Noah didn’t want to talk about his reason for leaving the UK. He hoped his son would open up to him. Phyllis hoped Nick would open up to her about their relationship. He didn’t think anything was wrong with their relationship. She knew things were difficult, and she wanted to help, but she felt like he was pushing her away. She said that when she said anything about his family or agreed with anything he said about his family, he took it as a criticism. He admitted he was having a hard time and he probably wasn’t handling it correctly, but he wasn’t pushing her away. She assured him that she was there for him, a partner, a teammate, and she didn’t like being distant from him. They kissed, then she lead him up to the elevator where they kissed again.

In the suite, Phyllis and Nick undressed each other and fell into bed. Later, he said he was thinking about being a Newman and what that really meant. It was something he thought he’d dealt with a long time ago. He said it wasn’t like he was Adam, a black sheep, or Victoria, chained to the office, trying to prove she was the heir. He said he was just doing his own thing. Every time the family had a problem, they turned to him, but he felt like he was on the outside. She said that when anyone had a problem, he was there to protect them and support them. She said he was the only one who was always there, but his family looked at it like it was a weakness, or they didn’t take it seriously. He started getting uncomfortable as she talked, and she wondered what she said. He told her it was hard to hear how much she couldn’t stand his family.

Phyllis said that Nick could just ignore everything his family did to him over and over and over again. She stated that he was successful, he’d built a whole career on his own without his family’s help, his kids were successful, he was dating a wildly successful knock out, but he didn’t seem to look at that. “Who cares about what your screwed up family does?,” she asked. He hopped out of bed. He said that her go-to solution for any problem was to just pretend it didn’t exist, but he couldn’t do that. She denied saying that. He said for better or worse, this was his family. He felt like she was trivializing issues that were important to him. She was offended that he’d say that to her. “You always think the absolute worst about me, don’t you? No matter how hard I work to bend over backwards to help you with your family.” She went to another part of the suite.

Review of “Walker: Season One” DVD

Posted on October 25, 2021September 10, 2023 by TvMegasite Admin

DVD Review!

“Walker: Season One” Review by Suzanne 10/25/21

I wasn’t sure at first whether I would like this series. I love Jared Padalecki’s work on “Supernatural” and “The Gilmore Girls,” so that’s why I tuned in. The cast is great, but at first it seemed pretty mediocre. Then it got better pretty quickly. I can see why it’s a hit for The CW. There is plenty of drama, action and humor. If you’re expecting anything like the old show that starred Chuck Norris, then you’ll be very disappointed. To me, that’s a good thing because I didn’t really like the old show. He was more of a lone wolf than this Walker, who has a whole family as well as friends and co-workers.

This Cordell Walker is tormented and grieving at the beginning of the season. His wife was murdered and he’s been undercover a long time. He’s distant from his family, and they all resent him. There’s a lot of great conflict. I really love the characters in the show. They’re what make it. Even though Cordell is the main character, he’s a bit of a likeable doofus sometimes. He doesn’t have all of the answers. That’s what makes him interesting.

You should check this show out and give it a chance. Season two starts this week on The CW!

There are some good Special Features about the show: a special called “Walker: Tragic Hero,” and another one that is really cool called “The Edge of the Coin,” plus the usual gag reel and deleted scenes. I really enjoyed them.

MORE INFORMATION:

WALKER: SEASON ONE
Street Date: October 26
Format: DVD
Description: WALKER, a reimagining of the long-running series “Walker, Texas Ranger,” stars Jared Padalecki (“Supernatural”) as Cordell Walker, a widower and father with his own moral code, who returns home to Austin, Texas after being undercover for nearly a year, only to discover there’s harder work to be done at home. Walker will attempt to reconnect with his creative and thoughtful son, August (Kale Culley, “Me, Myself and I”) and his headstrong, somewhat rebellious teenaged daughter, Stella (Violet Brinson, “Sharp Objects”) and navigate changes with the rest of the family. His ADA brother, William “Liam” (Keegan Allen, “Pretty Little Liars”) returned home from New York and stepped in during Walker’s absence, making it all the more difficult for Walker to resume his place in the family. The perceptive matriarch of the Walker clan, Abeline (Molly Hagan, “Herman’s Head”) doesn’t hesitate to speak her mind to keep everyone in line and their traditional rancher father, Bonham (Mitch Pileggi, “The X-Files”) isn’t much for long winded, sentimental prattling, but voices his opinion when it counts most. At work, Walker’s former colleague, Larry James, is now his Ranger Captain, (Coby Bell, “The Game”) and both men need time to adjust to their new dynamic. Walker finds unexpected common ground with his new partner, Micki Ramirez (one of the first women in Texas Rangers’ history) played by Lindsey Morgan (“The 100”). She knows there’s a lot at stake for her in this new job and is quick to school Walker on curbing his maverick ways. Walker’s not Micki’s only distraction, as her relationship with an old friend, Trey (played by Jeff Pierre, “Once Upon a Time”) becomes more serious. The series closely follows Walker as he tries to balance all the new details in his old life while growing increasingly suspicious about the circumstances surrounding his wife’s (Genevieve Padalecki) death.

Interview with Zyra Gorecki

TV Interview!

Zyra Gorecki of "La Brea" on NBC

Interview with Zyra Gorecki of “La Brea” on NBC by Suzanne 10/18/21

This is a fun scifi show, and it’s always nice to interview the actors in this cast. I only had about 5 minutes with her, but she was able to answer all my questions within that time frame, so it worked out well. She’s not one of those that goes and on, which I really appreciated.

Suzanne: How are you?

Zyra: Good. How are you?

Suzanne: I’m good. Not awake yet, really…

Zyra: I don’t think any of us are really; it’s Monday.

Suzanne: That’s right. So, I don’t have long, so I’ll get right to it. Your character, she carries a lot of guilt, because she didn’t fall into the sinkhole with her mother and brother. Then, later, she misses them and worries that about them. So, how did you convey that with your acting? What is your method?

Zyra: I think because we filmed the first episode first, it was super nice, and remembering that feeling of watching them fall, because we did the stunts. I watched Natalie fall. I would bring that up and I would just think on that and ruminate, and that is a horrible feeling. Because, you know, you take responsibility for that, you had a grip on your mom and then, you know, even if she does pull your hand off of her, it’s a horrible feeling. I think you just have to think about that and really think about how you would feel about that.

Suzanne: Okay, and are you still shooting in Australia? How do you like it there?

Zyra: Nope. Now we finished about a month ago. Actually, I can’t believe it’s been a month already. It was fun though. It was fun shooting in Australia. It was locked down for the six months we were there. So, that was less fun, but Australia itself is really fun, and filming was absolutely fantastic.

Suzanne: Oh, great. Had you been there before?

Zyra: Nope. First time.

Suzanne: Oh, that’s nice. Did you get to see kangaroos and things like that?

Zyra: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. We were all over the place. Kangaroo are like deer for us here. You know how you just like see deer all over everywhere? That’s how they are in Australia. Koalas are harder to find.

Suzanne: Oh, really? Oh, okay. That’s neat. I want to go there one day.

Zyra: You should.

Suzanne: Yeah. Did you ever watch LOST, and do you think fans and the media should be comparing La Brea to LOST?

Zyra: So, we were talking about this; a lot of the cast were talking about this, and it is definitely a comparable comparison, but I think Jack said this; he said that “La Brea, it fills the gaps that LOST had.” It makes sense. It doesn’t have things where you go, “Um, that doesn’t quite add up.” You know? I think it took LOST and went, “All right, I’m gonna learn from this. I’m going to do better.”

Suzanne: Okay, well, I hope it has a different ending. [laughs]

Zyra: Yeah.

Suzanne: And is there anything else that you’d like to tell fans about the show, about your part in it?

Zyra: Oh, it sounds so cliche, I know, but really, expect the unexpected, and everything nuts is happening all the time. [laughs] All the time.

Suzanne: Yeah, that’s what’s great about the show. It always shocks you.

Zyra: Oh, yeah, especially if you have a short attention span for TV shows, which I do. You don’t ever get bored. It’s great, because if you get bored with one character, you’re like, “Oh, there’re all of these other stories.”

Suzanne: There’re a lot of characters

Zyra: A lot of characters.

Suzanne: All right, they’re telling me I have to go. So, thank you. I appreciate it.

Zyra: Thank you so much.

Suzanne: All right. Have a good day.

Zyra: Thank you, you as well.

Here is the video of it.
