Elisabeth Röhm, Justina Machado and Skyler Samuels of "Switched Before Birth" on Lifetime

Interview with Elisabeth Röhm, Justina Machado and Skyler Samuels of “Switched Before Birth” on Lifetime by Suzanne 9/14/21

This was from Lifetime’s “Fall Press Panel” last month. It was great to speak with these amazing actresses and directors. I’m a huge fan of Elisabeth, not only from “One Life to Live,” but also from “Angel” and “Law and Order,” among many other movies and shows. She directed this movie rather than appearing in it. It’s her second time directing. She seems to really enjoy it. It’s a good movie, which Machado and Samuels star in, so make sure you check it out 10/23 on Lifetime.

MODERATOR: Our next panel for today is “Switched Before Birth” starring Justina Machado and Skyler Samuels and directed by Elisabeth Rohm. Hi, ladies. Thank you all for being here. Our first question is from Suzanne.

QUESTION: My question is for Elisabeth. I remember you on “One Life to Live” by the way, so. I’ve been watching you a long time.

ELISABETH ROHM: That definitely dates me by a couple of decades.

QUESTION: Aww… So how often does this sort of thing happen, the IVF switching thing that they show in the movie?

ELISABETH ROHM: Well, you know, statistically speaking 15% of couples will struggle with getting pregnant naturally. I was one of those and you know, look, it’s a not-regulated industry, federally regulated industry, so it’s hard to say percentage-wise what kind of mishap, how many times a mishap like this will happen, but you know it’s frequent enough that we really hope that this film makes you take a good, long hard look at the fertility industry.

QUESTION: And as a follow up, do you prefer directing over acting or do you like both?

ELISABETH ROHM: Well, if I get to act with women like this, I want to be acting. No. But directing, listen I feel really privileged that Lifetime has the Broader Focus program and Tanya Lopez created this opportunity for me to pivot in my life and career. And I really love directing, especially when you get to direct a friend like Justina Machado who I starred opposite and just, you know, Skyler Samuels and all the actors in it. So, I have a big place in my heart for directing right now.

QUESTION: Thank you.

MODERATOR: Thank you. Our next question is from Jay Bobbin.

QUESTION: Thank you. Elisabeth, my question is for you, too. You have taken some very big and emotional swings with your directing so far, “Girl in the Basement.” I remember the last one of these you talked about how emotional it was to work with the actors on that. For your second project, were you looking for something as emotional in a different way or would you have been satisfied with something like “Psycho Intern” which is also in the Lifetime can?

ELISABETH ROHM: Well, to be honest I probably would have accepted any job from Lifetime. I have a deep gratitude to the network and I’m excited about developing other projects with them. Justina and I have some exciting things that we’re working on together. But I felt very privileged to be given the opportunity to direct something about IVF because I really went through my own journey, and it was painful and difficult. And these actresses really captured what is deeply personal to me and it’s like lightning in a bottle to watch these two act in this movie, so I was lucky I got a good second swing.

QUESTION: As a follow up, knowing the subject as you did personally and also having gone through the prep for the first film, did you find it — I’m using the word “easier” hesitatingly, because I’m sure subject-wise it’s not necessarily easier. Did you find it a smoother process this time around directing for the second time?

ELISABETH ROHM: Maybe ignorance is bliss. I think the first time was a little bit easier. The second time you know all the things that are required in a different way. But I think it was easier because I had actresses that were my friends playing the lead roles and I felt really supported by them to just thrive and succeed. And it really does take a village. And, you know, I have the utmost respect for these two. So, I would say — I guess I would say it’s easier. It’s just I knew the stakes were high.

QUESTION: Thanks very much.

MODERATOR: Thanks, Jay. Our next question is from Jamie Steinberg.

QUESTION: For Justina and Skyler, what kind of research did you do on this kind of surrogacy and the pain, both of — on both sides of the women’s viewpoints?

JUSTINA MACHADO: I can’t see anybody. I never know. I guess I’ll go first. You know, we all know people — we all know women. I mean, I certainly know women who have struggled with fertility, who have had to go through these cycles to try to get pregnant and the ups and the downs and all of that that comes with wanting a family. You know, it’s a very, very human story which is why I was so attracted to it. But also, I think the second part of your question was how our characters — was that the second part of your question?

QUESTION: Yes, the pain that a woman on either side feels in this situation.

JUSTINA MACHADO: Right. And that’s what’s so beautiful about this movie because you really get those two points of views. I mean, no one is wrong here. No one is wrong in the movie. You know, Olivia’s character is — this is what she feels, she carried this baby. My character is like this is my egg. So, no one is wrong, but we’re both so passionate, both those characters are passionate about their point of view. I was all for Anna’s point of view. I truly believe that if that were to happen to me that would be my point of view. I want my baby. So the beauty of this is you get to see two very valid points of views.

SKYLER SAMUELS: Yeah, I completely agree with what Justina said. There is no right or wrong. It is complicated and messy. I watched it. I still don’t know, and I pray to God I’m never put in a position where I would have to choose that. But you know like Elisabeth was saying, IVF mishaps happen far too often. It’s not regulated. And the fact that anybody could be put in that position is unthinkable. And as far as research for the role, interestingly enough, I have a couple of close girlfriends who throughout 2020 had been going through some real fertility struggles. And in the pandemic of it all, you know, I think that was another tier of isolation. You know, being in a pandemic is isolating. Fertility struggles are isolating. Put those together, and it’s a really, really challenging time. And you know getting to sort of be on that journey with them trying to be supportive and trying to understand how they feel both physically and emotionally and the fact that there are things that women who go through this process can’t explain to their husbands or their partners. Like as much as they want them to know there’s something that’s happening in you that’s just so raw and confusing and complicated that it can be hard. And there was a really beautiful thing which happened which was on our first day of filming. I’m in my sort of funny pregnancy, you know, my fake pregnancy belly. And I had sent a picture to my best friend being like, you know, look who’s got the belly. And she sent me a picture with a positive pregnancy test. So, my girlfriend who had been struggling all year and had gone through this process, I found out that she got pregnant the day we started this movie. So that kind of felt like my good luck charm going into this.

QUESTION: And then you had to start bawling and ruin the scene.

SKYLER SAMUELS: Well, yes. I do a lot of bawling. This is true. Skyler cries a lot in this movie. And while I’m, you know, not a mother myself, I hope one day. I’m very familiar with what grief feels like and with loss. And I think that that is universal to all of us. So, though this movie is about motherhood, I think more than anything it’s about a sense of belonging and a sense of grief and how to sort of live with loss that you just — you can’t make sense of. And I think that’s something that everybody can relate to.

MODERATOR: Thank you. Our next question is from Steve Gidlow.

QUESTION: Hey, my question is for Justina and for Skyler. I’m just wondering what it like is being directed by somebody who has acted as opposed to someone who’s just a technically trained director. And how different is it again, on top of that having a friend direct you on the project?

JUSTINA MACHADO: I always — I don’t necessarily think you have to be an actor to be a great director, you know. But I do think that that’s a big plus. And there’s just things that they understand, actors-turned-directors. I feel like there’s an understanding with how to deal with different personalities on set — how to speak to people on set because they know how they like to be spoken to. They know how they like to be dealt with. And like the little kookiness that sometimes we as actors can have that they will understand and not think it’s a different kind of behavior. That always helps because somebody has been there. And then when you’re working with a friend, it’s just even more — you’re even more free and more vulnerable. I felt I could be freer and not be judged by certain things that I thought or was thinking, or nothing was a dumb question, or nothing was something that that they didn’t have time for. And Elisabeth and I are dear friends. I mean, we met doing “Family Pictures” a couple years ago for Lifetime. So just being able to work with somebody that I already have such a great rapport with, just made work a lot easier and fun as much as we had to cry.

ELISABETH ROHM: I was going to say.

JUSTINA MACHADO: And we got to feel like this. It was fun.

ELISABETH ROHM: No more crying. You did it perfectly. Now it’s done.

JUSTINA MACHADO: So that was my experience.

SKYLER SAMUELS: Yeah. I think there’s always a benefit having someone direct you who’s been in your shoes. But I think there’s actors-turned-directors, actors who are friends and there’s Elisabeth Rohm. Elisabeth is my biggest girl crush of all time. She knows this. I announce it wildly to the world. I met her over Zoom last year and I got off the call and I said to my reps, “Yeah, so I want to grow up to be her, so let’s figure out how we can be best friends” because I absolutely adore this woman and what she’s done. And how absolutely poised and creative and intelligent and thoughtful she is in everything that she does. No question this was some of the hardest work I think I’ve done in my career to date. This is the closest character I’ve played to myself which is a lot more challenging than I anticipated. And I don’t think I could have done the work that I did without Elisabeth. She gave me permission to take up space and be free in a way that no one has before, and it’s been a gift moving forward. I don’t know that how I feel about my job and my abilities would be the same without Elisabeth. She’s just — I don’t know she’s my acting guardian angel always. She’s a magical person.

ELISABETH ROHM: I love you guys. I think I’m going to —

QUESTION: Your turn to cry now.

SKYLER SAMUELS: I can’t help but cry.

QUESTION: Thank you so much.

ELISABETH ROHM: And so really, it’s a love story between these two, you know? That’s really — outside of it being like a film that’s also — Lifetime’s so good at making not just movies, but movements. This is a movement in a sense, but it’s really a love story between friends. So, the friendship between them is really felt and like they both said, navigating grief and finding each other through it all. So thanks, thanks for that, you guys.

QUESTION: Thank you so much.

MODERATOR: Thanks, Steve. Our next question is from Jamie Ruby.

QUESTION: Hi, guys. Thanks for talking to us. Skyler, you started to say how like playing something more towards yourself was more difficult. Can you kind of talk like expand on that? What was it that you found difficult about bringing that?

SKYLER SAMUELS: Yeah, I mean you know I’ve been very lucky that I’ve worked for many years and gotten to play many parts, you know, a lot of which have been you know sort of like supernatural or superhero and I’m kicking ass and doing all kinds of fun things. And I’ve loved those parts. They’re wonderful. But I think there’s something that when you prepare as an actor to play a role that feels like you, when I read the script, there are things that Olivia Crawford says that I’m like, “Oh god, that’s like straight out of my mouth.” Or just like the way that she moves through space, it felt like me. And I think what was both challenging and liberating about that experience was that I had to work through my own grief in real time doing this movie. That there is no barrier between sort of — the barrier between Olivia Crawford and Skyler Samuels was like paper thin. And I’m not used to being that close to the character. And I think that it made — everything emotional that happens in the movie is as real as can be. I had to really be okay with bringing my own real-life grief and experience and struggles and triumphs and just sort of putting it all out there in a way that I haven’t had to do before. And like I just said, I couldn’t have done that without the guidance, love and support of Elisabeth Rohm and Justina. What a partner to just like let you do your thing because it’s challenging. But it’s also really liberating to be able to do that. It sort of sets a part of you free. That’s the best way I can describe it.

QUESTION: Thank you so much.

MODERATOR: Thank you. We have time for one more question and that’s going to be Jay Bobbin.

QUESTION: Thank you. Justina, this is for you. You’ve been at this career a long time. And sometimes it takes that one galvanizing thing like “One Day at a Time” where things really break open and opportunities like this come your way. Is it safe to assume this is an especially sweet time for you now?

JUSTINA MACHADO: You know, it’s so bizarre because it’s so not a sweet time in the world with everything that’s happening. But it’s kind of been, you know, I’ve been okay. And I’m grateful. I’m grateful for that. And you’re absolutely right, I’ve been at it a long time. So, I’m grateful to still be here, still at it. And “One Day at a Time” did open this whole new world to me, for me. And it feels good. It feels really good to be in a place where you’re not just the person behind the camera, that people really — I mean, in front of the camera. People really want to know your opinion, you know. It’s valued what you have to say. It’s more of — it’s the most I’ve ever collaborated in my life in my career, this time in my career. So, it’s been wonderful. And these movies — this movie that we did, Elisabeth and Skyler and I, and then Elisabeth was talking about the fact that we’re also working on some other things — it’s been liberating, exciting. And yes, I’m happy because I’m getting old — so I’m happy.

ELISABETH ROHM: And everybody’s who loves you is dying for you to direct. That’s what’s going to happen next.

JUSTINA MACHADO: Exactly. I want to move to that, too. I want to direct. I want to do all these things. Yes, that’s how I feel so yes. It feels very good, Jay. Thank you, it feels good.

QUESTION: Thank you very much. Thank you.

MODERATOR: A big thank you to all our panelists. Ladies, we really appreciate you taking the time to be with us today.

ELISABETH ROHM: Thank you.

JUSTINA MACHADO: Thank you.

SKYLER SAMUELS: Thank you, guys.

Sharon: Noah! Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh!

Noah: Hi, mom.

Sharon: Oh, I’m so shocked! I thought you were in london.

Noah: Eh.

Nick: Well, noah asked me at the last minute if we could switch things up.

Noah: And dad was cool enough to say yes.

Nick: So, we stopped by his flat. He grabbed some of his stuff, and here we are.

Sharon: Well, that almost sounds like you’re planning to stay for a while.

Noah: Yeah, I just needed a break from the whole london scene. Yeah, I’ve been wanting to visit home for a while, anyway.

Sharon: Well, this is such a great surprise. You know what? I’m gonna take the whole day off so I can hear all about what’s going on with you.

Noah: That’d be great.

[ Laughs ]

Sharon: This is an amazing surprise.

Mariah: Oh, my gosh! Hey.

Tessa: [ Laughs ]

Mariah: Good morning. Look who’s awake.

Tessa: Oh! What year is it?

[ Both laugh ]

Mariah: Oh, you needed the rest. And thank you for my gift.

Tessa: I’m glad you liked it.

Mariah: I do. It’s very…very italian, very cute, kitschy.

Tessa: [ Laughs ]

Mariah: I love it.

Tessa: Mm. So, um… you barely spoke when I got home. I fell back asleep, so I…

Mariah: Yeah. We have a lot to talk about.

Ashley: I can’t believe what a big boy you are. You’re getting so big.

Abby: And look at his little eyelashes. Aren’t they perfect?

Ashley: And that sweet smile.

Abby: Mm-hmm. Dominic is an angel. And he’s a pretty good sleeper, too.

Ashley: You were not. I remember when you were just born, I just wanted to take you out and show you off. But every time I left the house, you would just scream and scream.

Abby: Oh, no!

[ Both laugh ]

Ashley: It’s true. But I’d be around all these mothers that were bragging about how easy their babies were, and I would just want to punch them.

Abby: [ Laughs ]

Ashley: You are a lucky baby. You got victor, who’s so smitten with you, and I know brad would be, too.

Abby: Mm.

Ashley: How are things going? Are you holding up okay?

Abby: I’m not gonna lie. The past few days have been rough, not just because I’m missing chance, but because he’s missing everything. I mean, all of the changes that dominic’s going through, it’s not fair to chance, and it’s not fair to me, and it is certainly not fair to our son.

Victoria: Well, I think that’s it for the merger.

Ashland: We’ve got through the whole list?

Victoria: Yes, legal, finance. I think that’s everything. Next, we have…

Ashland: P.R. And media, which interviews to grant.

Victoria: And which ones to avoid, or, at least, postpone. I got some notes from debra so that we can prioritize.

Ashland: Are we handling them together, or divide and conquer?

Victoria: That depends on the outlet and which writers they assign.

Ashland: You know, after all my years in business, I am still so surprised at how quickly things can pile up when one decides to do something crazy.

Victoria: You mean like get married? Are you having any regrets about that?

Ashland: Absolutely not… although I certainly have given you some reasons.

Lily: I swear, flying wears me out.

Billy: I know what you mean.

Lily: No, you don’T. Look at you. You’re wired. Are you upset that you deleted the video gaines sent, about ashland building his empire with stolen money? You did delete it, right?

Billy: Lily, you saw me do it.

Lily: Okay, I’m just checking.

Billy: No, I have accepted the fact that that’s victoria wants. I won’t be the one to reveal to the world who her new husband really is.

Lily: But…

Billy: But I am surprised that gaines didn’t, after he said he was going to, and it makes me wonder why.

Lily: Well, I mean, your guess is as good as mine.

Billy: You know what? Right now, it doesn’t even matter. Victor and adam are our real threat, and that is what we need to be focused on right now.

Lily: I mean, I will say i did find it kind of odd when you told me how blatant victor was by getting in your face.

Billy: Why? What do you mean by that?

Lily: Well, I’m just wondering if maybe he did it to unnerve you. And clearly it’s worked. – Oh…oh. – What’s going on?

Abby: I can’t even send chance a message — no photos, no videos. I don’t know if he’s in the states. I mean, he could be on another continent for all I know. It’s maddening.

Ashley: Honey, he would be here if he could be. And I’m sure that he’s just as tired of this as you are and misses you just as much.

Abby: Everyone close to me is trying to stay positive. They think that’s gonna make me feel better. And I am trying to look for the silver lining. But, mom, it keeps getting harder and harder. I don’t mean to sound ungrateful.

Ashley: You don’T. You sound frustrated and upset.

Abby: This assignment has gone on much longer than anyone anticipated, with no news, no end in sight. I don’t even know what this mission entails or how much danger my husband is in. And I’m his wife.

Ashley: I hope you know that there are so many people that would drop everything in a moment’s notice if you ever needed them — father, me, jack, traci, tessa and devon and mariah. By the way, how’s mariah doing? Is she feeling any stronger?

Abby: She stopped by earlier. She seemed to be doing better, much more in control.

Ashley: That’s good — a little progress.

Abby: When she moved out, i was really worried about her. But I think she did the right thing. She got some distance, and she took some time to process everything that she’s been through.

Ashley: Were you nervous at all about her being around the baby, after she broke down after the christening?

Abby: Yes, at first, not out of fear for dominic’s sake but more out of concern for mariah and how she would handle things emotionally.

Mariah: So much has changed since you left for italy. And I have done a lot of soul-searching.

Tessa: I’m listening.

Mariah: I see now how unfair it was to make these unilateral decisions about our future, that it would put a strain on our relationship. Springing the idea of having a baby right away, expecting you to get pregnant, when we’ve barely even discussed the possibility of having a kid one day. I-I just don’t know what I was thinking.

Tessa: I mean, you were traumatized and confused. You were dealing with a lot of emotional pain in the best way that you knew how.

Mariah: Thanks, but… that’s really no excuse. It was selfish and totally misguided, and I feel awful about it.

Tessa: Well, I really wish you wouldn’T.

Mariah: Well, I do. So, I am so, so incredibly sorry. Nothing matters more than what we’ve built.

Tessa: That’s how I feel, too. When you asked me to cancel my trip so that I could stay with you —

Mariah: [ Chuckles ] Don’t remind me — another thing that I’m cringing about.

Tessa: No, don’T. You know, honestly, I probably should have bowed out.

Mariah: No! No, absolutely not, tessa.

Tessa: You have been through so much. You were struggling. You weren’t ready for an event like that. And you needed me. Frankly, I spent most of my time in tuscany just worried about how I had handled things. I was worried that I had ruined the best thing that I had ever had. I was worried that I pushed you away and that when I came back, you were gonna tell me that we were better off apart.

Mariah: I would never do that.

Billy: I think you’re right. This isn’t victor’s regular M.O. He doesn’t show his hand like this. He’s all about the icy stare, leaving your imagination to make the worst of it.

Lily: Yeah, I mean, the few times that we’ve clashed, that’s been my experience.

Billy: It reminds me of a moment that I had with adam at the newman media launch. He looked me in the eye and said, “if or when newman media comes after chanccomm, you will never see it coming.”

Lily: Yeah, that sounds more like it.

Billy: Which makes it even more peculiar that in tuscany, i overheard victor telling adam to devise a strategy. Victor wants us to know that he’s coming.

Lily: Well, maybe he wants to warn us so that we can prepare and make it a fair fight.

Billy: Why would he do that?

Lily: I don’t know. I mean, you’re the victor-whisperer.

Billy: I think you’re right. Maybe he wants to get inside my head, throw us off our game, hoping we make a mistake, and it leaves us vulnerable.

Lily: Or maybe he wants us to be so focused on an attack against the company as a way to distract us. Still fresh

Victoria: I have zero regrets — none. And you know what? I don’t think I could love you more if I tried. I am extremely happy that you’re my husband and my business partner. Have I made myself clear?

Ashland: Crystal.

Victoria: Good. And I don’t want to hear the names bobby defranco or camilla rhodes or jesse gaines ever again. That’s in the past, and all i care about is our future.

[ Sighs ] And all I want you to do is focus on fighting this cancer. That’s it.

Ashland: You will be amazed at how much I’ll handle for you.

Nick: I haven’t been to the palazzo since I was in boarding school.

Noah: That long ago? WoW.

[ All laugh ]

Sharon: Has it changed much?

Nick: Uh, you know, they’ve updated some things. The grounds are certainly a lot more lush. The trees have really grown.

Noah: Yeah, the house isn’t too shabby, either.

Sharon: Wow! How many rooms does it have?

Noah: I think you can get lost if you’re not paying attention. They got this beautiful outdoor terrace, which is heated. So, it’s perfect for fall nights. And the view? The view, it won’t quit. It was probably my favorite part of the whole place.

Sharon: Well, it sounds very elegant and romantic. I’m sure you had a nice time experiencing it all with phyllis.

Nick: Yeah, it was cool.

Sharon: I saw some drama online about victoria’s wedding dress?

Noah: You know it wouldn’t be a newman wedding without a little bit of drama, right?

Nick: Get this. Victoria wore a dress that was designed by sally spectra.

Sharon: What? You are kidding me.

Nick: Not kidding.

Sharon: That really surprises me.

Nick: It surprised us all.

Sharon: Well, anyway, I saw some beautiful photos of victoria. She looked radiant and very much in love.

Nick: She definitely did.

Sharon: So, tell me about you. What’s going on with your life? Is there some reason why you wouldn’t want to go back to london?

Noah: Well, what would give you that idea?

Sharon: You may be living an ocean away, but you’re still my son, and I know you. This sudden decision to leave london wasn’t really so sudden, was it?

Noah: [ Sighs ]

Nick: I mean, now that you mention it, you talked very little about yourself in tuscany.

Noah: I was just trying to be a good son who was concerned about his dad.

Nick: Yeah, I get it, but i don’t want you to feel like you can’t tell us what’s going on with you.

Sharon: Yeah, I’m so glad you came to visit. And I don’t want to overstep, but I hope you feel like you can talk to us still about whatever.

Noah: Well, lately I’ve been thinking about where I’m at in life, taking stock, and I just don’t want to get stuck in a rut in london. And it’s starting to feel like that might be happening. So…

Sharon: Really? Because the way you’ve always talked about it, it sounded so exciting and fulfilling. You talked about your friends and other artists and how much attention your work was getting.

Noah: Well, what can I say, mom? Every once in a while, it’s time for a change.

Mariah: It has been torture being away from you.

Tessa: Ugh! For me, too.

Mariah: I am so sorry that my idea of having a baby right away scared you. I know it must have seemed very, very impulsive. It was impulsive. And it must have seemed like i was trying to manufacture this perfect life so that I wouldn’t have to deal with what I was going through. But I realize that that is exactly what I need to be doing. Being abducted while pregnant and all of the things that I’ve been burying inside since this happened, it’S… it’s affected me in ways I’M… I’m just beginning to deal with.

Tessa: Hey, don’t be too hard on yourself. It takes a lot of time to process something so traumatic.

Mariah: Right. And I know that I have to manage these maternal feelings towards dominic, but I’m working on it. You know? I mean, I get through it. I went to see the baby earlier.

Tessa: You did?

Mariah: Yeah, that’s where — that’s where I was when you got back.

Tessa: How’d it go?

Mariah: It’s still challenging. But after I left, I felt better, and abby and I had a great conversation. And it made me realize that cutting all ties is not the way to go about this. It really just makes me miss that baby more. So, I’m going with our original plan. You know, I’m gonna be as much a part of the baby’s life as abby will let me. And if anything gets too overwhelming, I know you’ll be by my side.

Tessa: Always. Everything you are saying is so smart and strong. And I feel like I’m falling in love with you all over again.

Abby: Don’t you listen to all those stories grandma’s telling you about mommy being a cranky baby.

Ashley: [ Laughs ] Are you kidding? It was so worth it. Look at you.

Mariah: I can honestly stay like this forever.

Tessa: Yeah. I mean, we’ll definitely need stamina, which will require, you know, sustenance.

Mariah: Oh, my god, tessa, you haven’t eaten. You must be starving! Why didn’t you say anything?

Tessa: I mean, I’m willing to try and live on love a little longer.

Mariah: You know we can have both, right?

Tessa: You know what I’m totally craving?

Mariah: Tell me.

Tessa: A big, messy, ropa vieja sandwich from society.

Mariah: Your wish is my command. I will call and pick it up.

Tessa: No. You know what? Let’s go out. Let’s celebrate this, us.

Abby: We’re gonna get some news about daddy. Can you believe it? I can hardly wait. Why do you think christine wants to tell me the news in person?

Ashley: I’m not sure. Could be a lot of reasons.

Abby: Yeah, like, maybe she knows when he is gonna be home, or maybe he sent us a message. And wouldn’t that be wonderful?

Ashley: Yeah. Honey, I-I just don’t want you to get your hopes up. Maybe she — maybe she’s gonna tell you that his assignment’s been extended. I don’t know.

Abby: I am only thinking positive thoughts.

Ashley: Okay. Me too. I-I just don’t want you to be disappointed if, you know, if the news isn’t what you want to hear, honey.

Abby: We’re only thinking positive thoughts. Right, dominic?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah.

[ Chuckles ]

Victoria: Okay, thank you. What are you looking at so intently over here? Social media. Really?

Ashland: Yeah, I’m on the lookout for any internet leaks about my criminal past in case gaines made good on his threat to expose me before victor could handle the situation.

Victoria: Oh.

Ashland: Darling, I know this is the last thing you want to think about, but I can’t let my guard down. Gaines could still be a wild card.

Victoria: My father told me that he had taken care of things.

Ashland: I know, and I trust victor, but he thought he handled the guy once before, only to have him turn up in tuscany with billy.

Victoria: I should have had my parents bring the kids. It would have saved us so much grief.

Ashland: Hey. You are not to blame for any bit of this, not for one second. Jesse gaines has a score to settle. He thinks that I’m responsible for the utter failure that his life has become.

Victoria: Well, he made a big mistake showing up to the wedding, thinking that he was going to make some big public scene, knowing that my father would be there.

Ashland: Well, I believe we’ve established that he doesn’t always think through the ramifications of his actions.

Victoria: Now that dad has teamed up with adam, look out. Well, they’ve assured us that they’ve neutralized the threat, and I believe that they’ve handled the situation.

Lily: I mean, I think victor would love to mess with us, mostly to hurt you. But I don’t think that’s his only goal — or adam’S. I don’t think it’s even his main objective. Maybe it’s just part of his strategy, you know, to misdirect us, because if we’re so focused on protecting ourselves against an attack, then we won’t look too closely at something else.

Billy: Like gaines disappearing off the face of the earth.

Lily: Do you think victor convinced gaines to leave ashland alone?

Billy: Hell, no. But I do think you’re on to something. There’s more going on. Everyone remembers the moment they heard,

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Billy: Gaines told me he hated ashland from way, way back, when he showed up as a young, enthusiastic kid.

Lily: What else did he tell you?

Billy: He told me everything, every detail from the beginning. Now, granted, this came from jesse’s sad point of view. He talked about how he showed up and made a name for himself at camilla rhodes’ company and also caught the eye of her attorney.

Lily: Gaines sr.

Billy: Yes. Ashland was showered with love and affection, almost made it feel like he was senior’s son, not jesse, who ended up feeling like a disappointment. Jesse showed up in tuscany with a lifetime of anger and bitterness at the man that he claims stole his father’s heart from him. He knew it was a risk, but yet he was that determined to expose ashland for the fraud that he really was.

Lily: Well, I guess he cared about his grudge more than anything else.

Billy: Jesse said he was gonna release that video if we didn’T. And I believed him, and yet there’s nothing out there.

Lily: Maybe he changed his mind.

Billy: I don’t think so. I think he was stopped from doing it.

Lily: Well, there’s a lot of ways that victor could have accomplished that, with his resources.

Billy: Victor and I both paid him a whole lot of money to keep him quiet. And, like you said, it’s always been more than money to him.

Lily: Wait. Are you suggesting that maybe victor made gaines disappear? I mean, that’s not really his style.

Billy: No, maybe not. But I definitely wouldn’t put it past adam.

Noah: So, tell me about faith. How are things going over at walnut grove? I know she had a hard time last spring on account of those mean girls. Things gotten any better or…

Sharon: I’m sure she’d be happy to tell you when you see her, but so far she’s having a stellar year.

Nick: I think what your mom’s trying to say is you can’t sidestep our questions forever, bud.

Noah: Am I really doing that, though?

Sharon: Yeah, every time we ask you a personal question, you deflect, and then you change the subject.

Nick: Just like you did over in italy. I mean, at least with me.

Sharon: You are incredibly charming in your way that you deflect, but… okay, I’ll give you some style points for that.

Nick: At some point, you’re gonna have to give us something. Yeah, you got to tell us why you felt this urge to take this break from this life you built over in the U.K.

Noah: Oh, wow! Would you look who’s here? You guys mind if I go say hi? Alright, cool.

Mariah: Noah! Oh, my god!

Noah: Surprise!

Mariah: Oh, my god! What — it’s so great to see you!

Noah: You too.

Tessa: Oh, my gosh, what are you doing here? You didn’t mention you were coming to town.

Noah: Yeah, it was a last-minute decision after the time we spent in tuscany. I got to tell you about your girlfriend.

Sharon: So…what did noah mean when he said he was worried about you in italy? What? You too? What is with all of this secrecy?

Nick: I wasn’t exactly an invited guest to the wedding.

Sharon: Why not?

Nick: I found some things out about ashland that were concerning. Dad and billy were running their own investigation, so I started doing some digging, too, and victoria found out about it. And she was mad as hell. I mean, she still is.

Sharon: Well, did you find anything real, or was it just innuendo and rumor?

Nick: Details aren’t important. What matters is that it didn’t change her mind about marrying ashland. But it did change things for me and victoria.

Sharon: She must know that you were coming from a place of love and concern.

Nick: I mean, I was. It’s why I went over there, to make amends and to show some support for my sister. But she made it very clear that she was simply tolerating my presence at the wedding. I mean, she felt really betrayed.

Sharon: That must have hurt.

Nick: It did. I mean, it still does. I just have to hope that she will someday forgive me. But you know what? I don’t want to talk about that. I’d really like to talk about our boy.

Sharon: Alright.

Nick: You’ve always had a great read on him. What’s your take with this?

Sharon: I think there’s more to noah’s visit from london than just needing a change of scenery.

Nick: Agreed.

Sharon: You know, you’ve had many conversations about what it’s like to live in other parts of the world, and every time we’ve talked about this, he said how fulfilling london is and how he feels like he’s come into his own. He talks about the energy and how much he loves the people there. But now? It seems like he’s ready to leave that all behind, and something must have happened to make him feel that way.

Abby: Say cheese for daddy! Hi!

[ Laughs ]

Ashley: Make sure you send me those, too.

Abby: Try and stop me. Can you believe it? Pretty soon, I might be able to share these pictures with chance in person.

[ Doorbell rings ]

[ Sighs ] Christine. Hi. Come in. I’m so excited to hear the news.

Christine: Oh, why don’t we go in and sit down? What can I du with less asthma?

Noah: Now, I really wish you could have seen tessa sing at victoria’s wedding. She has really, really grown as an artist. We were all blown away.

Tessa: I mean, being accompanied by the great leslie brooks might have helped.

Mariah: Actually, I did get to see tessa’s performance because somebody posted it online.

Noah: Yeah, I wish you could have been there to see it live.

Mariah: So, how long are you in town for?

Noah: Not really sure, but i doubt I’ll be going back to london anytime soon.

Mariah: Wait a second. I thought you loved it there. What went wrong?

Noah: [ Laughs ] Nothing went wrong. It was a career choice, going to the center of the hipster and artist universe, but it’s not really who I am. I never will be. Genoa city’s my home, and I’ve missed my family… and my friends.

Tessa: We’ve missed you, too.

Noah: Anyways…how you doing? Tessa and mom, they told me about what happened. So, I can’t imagine how terrifying it must have been, trapped in that small room, especially now, how difficult it must be with the baby around.

Mariah: [ Sighing ] Oh, yeah. Um…it’s been tough, you know, but I have a great support system.

Noah: You seem happy, solid.

Tessa: We are.

Noah: You know, that doesn’t just happen. It’s one thing to find love. It’s another to hold onto it. Anyway, I should probably get back to my folks, but it’s been great catching up.

Mariah: Yeah, of course. I’ll see you soon, okay?

Noah: Okay. There has got to be a story there.

Tessa: Yeah. Well, I’m just glad that the three of us are in a good place now and that we’ve been able to let go of the past and move on.

Sharon: Mariah seems to be doing better.

Noah: Yeah, she seems to be okay at the moment.

Sharon: I’m glad.

Nick: So, your mother and i have been talking, and I filled her in on what went down with victoria in tuscany.

Noah: Yeah, I tried to play mediator.

Sharon: How’d that go?

Noah: Not too well, honestly. Yeah, it was pretty tense. I kind of hated it. And now that we’re back, though, is there anything I could do to help break the impasse?

Nick: Don’t worry about it. I got it covered.

Noah: Well, the offer stands if you need the help.

Nick: Alright. Right now let’s talk about you and your plans and if there’s anything your mom and I can do to help.

Noah: I’ll figure it out, unless, of course, you guys don’t want me to stay or something like that. I can just skip town.

Sharon: Oh! You’re staying.

Noah: [ Laughs ]

Nick: Eh…

Noah: Eh.

[ Laughs ]

Christine: So, I, um, I don’t know how to say this except to just be straightforward and honest. There are reports coming in from the city where chance has been working undercover.

Abby: Where is he?

Christine: I can’t say, only that he was recently transferred for the final portion of his assignment. And things just progressed quickly, and then the location of his mission was hit by a bomb in the middle of the night. The building was leveled. The state department has put out a statement fearing that there are no survivors.

Ashley: This still sounds a little vague. Do you have any more information?

Christine: I don’T. I just wanted to tell you everything I learned right away.

Abby: Um…that’s got to be a mistake. Feeling stressed in your skin?

Billy: If jesse had gone through with what he said he was gonna do, it would have been more than just public embarrassment for ashland. It would have affected the merger between locke and newman. And it also would have affected newman media.

Lily: Meaning victor and adam.

Billy: I was so focused making sure that victoria knew the truth, I lost sight of the fact of the hit that ashland would take to his bottom line if this came out.

Lily: So, even though it wasn’t about the money for gaines, it was for them.

Billy: And you know adam, the lengths he’ll go to prove himself to his father. He’ll do the dirty work. I think you’re right. Maybe that’s why victor came after us with so much bluster. He wanted to distract us from looking into how gaines disappeared and how far adam will go to do what ashland

needed him to do but, more importantly, what his father

wants him to do.

Lily: I mean…if adam did something to hurt gaines to keep him quiet…

Billy: If we get justice for gaines, and we stop newman media in their tracks, we become the threat. We become the ones to crush the competition.

Ashland: You sound confident.

Victoria: Because I am.

Ashland: Well, I sincerely hope that victor can stop gaines from putting his plan into motion. I-I want to believe that.

Victoria: And you can! But enough about all that. You know what I want to do? I want to discuss our honeymoon.

Ashland: Seriously? We just got back to a mountain of work.

Victoria: I know! So, we’ll handle all that, and then we’ll go away.

Ashland: You know, I love the way that you are forcing me to keep my priorities straight. Pick the most romantic spot on the planet, and I’ll make it happen.

Victoria: Actually, I’ve handled it already. You are never in a million years gonna guess what my honeymoon surprise is for you.

Ashland: Hmm.

[ Both laugh ]

Tessa: Mm.

Mariah: So, how did you like your sandwich?

Tessa: Oh, I did not realize how hungry I was!

[ Both laugh ]

Mariah: Um…can I ask you a favor?

Tessa: Yeah, sure. What is it?

Mariah: That teddy bear that you got me from tuscany? Do you mind if I give it to dominic?

Tessa: You know, I had a feeling you were gonna ask that, and that’s part of the reason i got him.

Mariah: Should we go do that now?

Tessa: Well, I thought you saw the baby today and said it wasn’t very easy for you.

Mariah: Well, I mean, it wasn’t, but it was a lot better than it has been. Look. I was being honest with you before, and I’m being honest with you now. This isn’t coming from anywhere obsessive. I just think that the baby would really like that teddy bear. And he was sleeping most of the time that I saw him earlier. So, it wasn’t much of a visit.

Tessa: Well, then, what are we waiting for?

Mariah: Yeah?

Tessa: Yeah.

Mariah: Okay.

Christine: I’ve called my other contacts trying to get verification.

Ashley: So, you haven’t gotten it yet.

Christine: No.

Ashley: When are you gonna hear something?

Christine: I…don’t know. And even if the reports of the explosion are accurate, that doesn’t mean that chance was in the building at the time of the attack.

Abby: He wasn’T. He couldn’t have been. He wasn’T. He just… I would know. I would feel it. I would. It’s not possible.

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Michael: I’d like you to testify against your grandfather.

Ashland: Did I hear correctly? Are you planning to go after chanccomm?

Billy: If you want the opportunity to get justice for this gaines guy and rid us all of adam, this is your opportunity.

Christine: So, I just got off the phone with one of my contacts at the bureau. He had some intel on the bombing.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

That’s why I said, mi but we’ve settled everything regarding avery, right? At least for now, so what business do we have? No, we’re on the same page when it comes to our daughter. Okay, what then? I have a proposition for you. I appreciate your family’s support of my campaign. Yeah, I-I think you have done a terrific job as the D.A. Of llantano county. Yeah. I mean, y-you’ve proven to be relentless in your pursuit of justice, and I think the right high-profile case can catapult you into the state attorney general’s office. It’s an unusual case — the kind that generates headlines and defines careers. I’ll let you know as soon as it’s in motion. Okay. Morning, kevin. Did you happen, uh, to see ava on the way in? No, I did not, but I did talk to your mother about spencer’s hearing. And? She on her way home? Uh, no. Unfortunately, she can’t get away just yet, but she was very clear about how she feels what should happen today. We’re about to get started. I-I need to know, what’s your plea?

[ Inhales deeply ] Come on, spence, we’ve been over this. I want to make sure that I’m dealing with the right information here. If I plead guilty or no contest, the judge will ask me if anyone is forcing me to make that plea, correct? Strictly pro-forma — they just want to make sure that you understand the situation. Look, I’m sorry, I have dozens of other cases to handle today, so what’s your plea? Hold on, spencer, uh, before you answer that, are you sure that someone isn’t pressuring you into doing the wrong thing?

[ Door opens ] So, we meet again. I have nothing to say to you. I’ll go you one better than that — I’m sick of being lied to. So everything that comes out of your mouth better be gospel.

[ Gasps ] Ooh. Or else? Or else victor cassadine’s gonna be put to rest in an unmarked grave, and I’m gonna do it personally. Oh, hi, doctor. He looks better, doesn’t he, than he did a few hours ago? Bit more color in his face.

[ Monitors beeping ] Can you give me any good news? I wish I could. The island isn’t that big. Peter couldn’t have gone far. Yeah, especially with two hostages. And no sign of drew or obrecht. What are we supposed to tell everyone back in port charles who’s waiting for news?

Thank you for telling us where to meet you. Um, yeah, you were right about this place — it is really isolated. Dante: Mm-hmm. When we got on the plane last night, anna still didn’t know where my mother was. Any word? No, I’m afraid not. We were with the local police most of the night, trying to figure out a trail where peter might have gone, and we got nothing. We did see the cell where your mother was being held. There was a syringe in the cell. It was empty. Had traces of flunitrazepam. Well, that’s a sedative. It results in muscle weakness, lethargy, confusion. Basically, there’s a chance my mother was roofied. And that’s the best possible news you can get. I’ll cooperate, but first, I need to know how valentin is. He’s alive. That’s the last I heard. And liesl? What news of her? Come on. Don’t snow me. I mean, you don’t care about anyone except yourself, we all know that. I mean, this love of the common man, where did that come from? When it was nipping at your butt as you were running towards the hills? I will say, you have been a busy boy. I mean, you’ve got more done in death than the average person achieves in a lifetime — sanctuary for peter august, uh, unlawful detainment — drew cain, liesl obrecht, and that poor little nurse who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. And last but not least, the abduction of valentin cassadine. And all of this after you blew up crichton-clark. I mean, vickee, come on. Explain yourself. Wow. When you lay it all out like that, I have to say, I’m very impressed. How on earth did I manage to do all that? What do you mean, you can’t give me any good news? He has two young daughters waiting for him back in the states. The surgery didn’t go as well as we hoped. The bullet fragmented and we weren’t able to remove all the debris. But I-I’ve heard of bullet fragments being left in the body before, and it’s fine as long as they don’t migrate or impinge on a nerve or — yeah, I’m sorry. My daughter’s a doctor. I guess you’re concerned about infection. I recommend mr. Cassadine to undergo exploratory surgery at a hospital in the U.S. Our facilities just aren’t equipped to handle a surgery that delicate. Okay, thank you.

[ Monitors beeping ] Well… you may have been born here in greece, but I’m damned if I’m gonna let you die here. Michael, I-I’m sorry. I hope I’m not interrupting. Oh, hey, uh, willow. I didn’t expect you back so soon. I just must have lost track of time. Um, this is richard sheridan, the D.A. Of llantano county. Uh, D.A. Sheridan, this is my son’s mother, willow tate. Llantano county in… pennsylvania? That’s right. Well, what brings you all this way? I’m gearing up to run for state attorney general. Michael has taken an interest in my platform. We share similar values. And what would those be? You know, actually, uh… I know the D.A. Is anxious to get back to llanview. Thank you so much for coming out all this way. Appreciate it. Nice to meet you, ms. Tate. Goodbye, michael. Bye. Which of your values would make a politician drive to the next state? Well, that is quite an interesting proposition. And if the price is right…

[ Cellphone ringing ] Uh, be right back. Mm-hmm.

[ Ringing continues ] Ava! Ava! Hmm? What was that all about? Don’t worry. I didn’t tell sonny that I know about your romance with “mike.” Turns out, he was very receptive to me spending more time with avery and I didn’t have to use any more persuasive tactics. Thank you. I appreciate that. And, to return the favor, you have a problem and I’d love to offer you a solution. My father decided to raise the stakes. What does that mean? He put ava in control of my trust fund. If I accept their marriage and agree to live by their rules, then ava and my father will make the charges “go away.” But ava is still in control of all of my money. Look, ava’s not my favorite person, either, and I would hate having to live by her rules and knowing that she had control over my money. But here’s the thing, spencer — I didn’t stalk her and I’m not facing criminal charges. So if giving in to your dad and ava is what it takes for them to help you, then that’s what you should do. Right. Yeah, that’s what — that’s what esme was saying. Hmm. Well, it looks like for once, we’re all in agreement. And if you tell me my mother is too busy to attend this morning’s arraignment, I’m disappointed, but I can understand, but she’s honestly too busy to even call me? I can’t speak to your mother’s exact schedule, but we did talk about spencer’s behavior and yours. My behavior? This is about spencer stalking ava. Laura doesn’t condone what spencer did or what drove him to that point. Bailiff: Everyone, please take your seats. Shall we?

I’m sure you realize what a stubborn streak spence has. I sure hope our opinions helped to convince him to make the right choice. You don’t think that you, as his girlfriend, carry more weight? Oh, you’re giving me too much credit. You and cam have known spence since you were kids. You’ve known him much longer than I have, and spence is very much his own person. Talk about someone who likes to go his own way. Hmm. Bailiff: All rise. You want to buy charlie’s? Well, haven’t you been trying to sell it for a little bit? Well, yes, when I was leaving town because of the stalker, yeah. Ava, I have a great use for it. It’s, like, a win-win. Well, but my — my situation has changed. Oh, do you want to hang on to charlie’s for sentimental reasons because it belonged to your brother? N-no, no, it’s not that. Sonny: Ava. Hmm? Can we finish? ‘Cause I don’t — I don’t have all day. Okay. Uh… well, w-what’s that they say about great minds thinking alike? I don’t — what does that mean?

[ Chuckles ] Well, you know, we have to pause our negotiations. Oh, so now you’re gonna keep charlie’s? No, no, no, no. It’s still for sale. It’s just another buyer is showing interest. And I say, let the deepest pockets win. And it’s always a good idea to have people in office owe you favors. And if it was a D.A. From new york state, I wouldn’t question anything. But llantano county is in pennsylvania, so what does that have to do with elq? Nothing, nothing. It’s — it’s purely personal. I’m acting in a family member’s best interest. Michael, stop being so vague. Who are you talking about? Look, sheridan is looking for a high-profile case, and I just handed him one. I suggested that he prosecute nina reeves for fraud and identity theft. You think this is some kind of a joke, don’t you? I mean, you’re facing charges of false imprisonment, criminal conspiracy, bribery, and not to mention the rising body count. What is it you want from me, robert? Peter august. I want to know where he is and when you worked with him. I’m not working with peter. Oh, come on. You found him a place to hide, didn’t you? Yes. And I gave him money and transportation, but not out of my choice. I was forced to do peter’s bidding. Really? And what kind of leverage did he have to get that?

[ Sighs ] Look, I’ve answered one of your questions as a sign of good faith. Now it’s time to begin negotiations. So why is it a good idea that my mother was drugged? It probably means peter’s keeping her alive. Right. Yeah, because why go to the trouble of drugging someone when you can just easily kill them? That’s not exactly a beacon of hope, but I guess it’s better than nothing.

[ Sighs ] Jason, can I talk to you in private for a minute? Sure. So, um… I have some news. It’s about drew. Yeah, anna already called. She said that drew had been shot two or three times before falling over the bridge into the ocean, and his body hasn’t been recovered. Yeah. The wsb is searching, but they’re pretty certain that they’re not gonna find drew alive.

Ava, you’re saying that sonnyand I want the same thing? In — in a manner of speaking. Um, sonny made me an offer to buy charlie’s just minutes before you did. Like I said, I’ll accept the highest offer. Maybe the two of you should talk this over. Right? Just one-on-one?

[ Sighs ] Why do you want to buy charlie’s? Why do you? For phyllis, to give her a fresh start. And you? Same thing. I mean, she… took in a stranger, saved my life. Pretty much the opposite of what you did. Yes, and I can never say I’m sorry enough. But as for phyllis, if she moved here and ran charlie’s, I think it would be really good for her. Uh, well, I agree. One of us is gonna have to bow out. Well, no need. If phyllis accepts generosity, she’s more inclined to accept it from you. So why don’t you offer her charlie’s? And if she likes the idea, then I will give you half the money — provided…you never tell her. Michael, we talked about this yesterday. I-I thought we agreed to hit the pause button where nina is concerned. You said you wouldn’t make any decisions without me. Look, I haven’t filed any legal action against nina, and I’m not trying to deny her visitation with wiley. Look, if I went to family court, of course I would consult you. I wo– I wouldn’t move forward without you agreeing to anything. So you went to some D.A. From pennsylvania instead? Yes, because I want sheridan to go after nina for — for what she actually did. I don’t want wiley’s custody to become a battleground, and I don’t want to deny her visitation to punish her. I want her punished for the crimes that she committed — fraud and identity theft. Oh, willow, s-she lied to my dad for nine months about who he was. She kept him from his — from his — his family, from his — from his life. I mean, that has to be illegal, and I’m hoping that sheridan can prove it in court. Just what do you mean by negotiations? Well, it’s a classic quid pro quo, isn’t it? The wsb can’t get peter august without my help, and I’m not about to give them my help without something in return — my freedom. The wsb is not gonna let you off the hook for crimes you did in the last seven minutes, much less seven years. I’m a former director of the bureau. The wsb has a reputation to maintain. Now, prosecuting one of their own wouldn’t look very good, would it? I wouldn’t bet the farm on that. Oh, really? Well, let’s do a little cost-benefit analysis, shall we? Prosecuting me versus… pursuing peter august. Well, I’d say that was a bit of a no-brainer, wouldn’t you, robert? I mean, peter’s your priority. He’s the one that’s unstable. He’s dangerous. He — he has access to faison’s bag of dirty tricks. Now, you still have some pull at the bureau, so I suggest you convince them to make me a deal. I don’t take my orders from a cassadine. Oh, robert, come on. Your goal is to catch the big bad wolf, isn’t it? The man who kidnapped drew cain, who can still terrorize maxie jones and her little girl. Look. You can either throw the book at me or you can stop peter august, but you can’t do both. Anna: Robert doesn’t think you’re much of a hero. I think I disagree with him.

[ Monitors beeping ] I mean, you don’t fit the conventional mold. You’re…very flawed, self-serving, definitely compromised. But you do have the courage to face up to what you’ve done. And try to be better. And you’ve certainly tried to turn your life around for you and your daughters. I think that’s very heroic in my books. That kind of courage.

[ Sighs, sniffles ]

[ Cellphone ringing ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Ringing continues ] It’s my doubting ex-husband. Okay. I’ll be right back. You can count on that.

[ Ringing continues ] So, do you think it was victor that created the fake medical conference and arranged to have scott thrown from the plane? Well, he didn’t go into detail or anything like that, but he’s definitely the reason behind your mother being here. But why? A-and don’t say it’s because he’s infatuated with her. I mean, hell, maybe he is. I don’t know. But there has to be another agenda. I don’t know, but when he thought that liesl was in danger, he seemed genuinely concerned. I got a call, weeks ago, from someone claiming to be drew. Really? I went — I went back and forth and I thought, “maybe it’s him. Maybe he could be alive.” And then I thought, “eh, it could be some sort of mass manipulation.” It sounds like you were just being cautious. Yeah, but my being cautious means that I did not involve you, and if I had, maybe you would have been able to intervene and peter would not have shot drew. Judge hayes: Mr. Cassadine, do you understand your rights as determined by the united states, new york state constitutions, and new york state law? I do, your honor. And how do you plea? Mr. Cassadine, I’m waiting for your answer. What, spence? What is he doing? Not guilty, your honor.

I got your text. What’s so important? I was with valentin. Valentin’s out of surgery? H-how is he? He’s hanging in. This clown wants to talk to someone above my pay scale. Is that me? Always a pleasure, mate. What’s this about? Peter august. Wsb wants him, and I can make that happen. In exchange for what, exactly? Blanket immunity. Oh, yeah. [ Scoffs ] That’s a bit of a tall order. Hmm. Tall, maybe, but not impossible. See, we’re already making better progress than I was with robert. Yeah, but I’m far from the final say in this. Now that may be, but at least you’re willing to look at options. Robert was insisting the wsb would refuse to overlook my little transgressions. I thought I was a little naive of him. I don’t agree. You have a very extensive rap sheet. What makes you think I’m going to be more amenable to your offer than robert? Britt: If victor still has feelings for my mother, why was he holding her in a prison cell? Do you think it was punishment for her plan to kill peter in st. Lucia? If so, why would victor care about that? Look, britt, these are all questions the wsb still doesn’t have answers to, and they don’t even know why peter and victor were working together in the first place or how drew fits into this whole puzzle. When I went into drew’s cell, I had seen that he had scratched scout’s name into the wall, and I hope that means that he had enough strength to resist the conditioning. What, y-you think he was being conditioned? Well, that’s what victor said. I mean, I don’t know if he’s telling the truth or not, but I do know that drew was able to shoot a guard to save victor and valentin, but he wasn’t able to save himself. Unless or until they find a body, there’s still the chance that drew is alive.

[ Monitors beeping ]

[ Grunts ] Hey, valentin, you awake? Well, this can’t be a dream ’cause you sure as hell wouldn’t be in it.

[ Laughs ] I’ll round up a doctor for you. Where’s anna? She’s talking to that poor excuse for an uncle of yours — or should I say your father? Vic’s trying to cut himself a deal. But you’re not gonna let that happen, are you? Judge hayes: Although the defendant has no prior arrests, he has lived abroad extensively and has access to significant financial resources. The court finds that the state’s concern about you being a flight risk are valid. Accordingly, I’m ordering the defendant to surrender your passport. Bail is hereby set at $20,000. Pretrial is set for six weeks from today.

[ Gavel bangs ] If I can’t post bail, am I gonna go back to jail? It won’t come to that. Laura and i will post your bail. Oh, thank you, kevin. Thank you. I don’t get it. Why didn’t you do what we all advised you to do? I was about to. I made a lot of bad decisions from not following my gut. My gut told me that if I went along with ava on this, it’ll never end. So, your campaign contribution was basically a bribe to get sheridan to go after nina? Campaign donations are completely legal. Nina’s the one who committed a crime, and it certainly wasn’t a victimless crime, either. Look, I didn’t tell you this while it was happening, but my mom put her life on the line to step into my father’s business. Right? A-and what about his children? Yes, dante, kristina, and I, we are all adults, and josslyn has jax, but what about avery and donna? Look, avery’s old enough to understand loss, and donna, she was just so confused. I mean, t-they didn’t have their father for nine months. Michael, I know that. And my father’s business got messed up, which in turn put more people’s lives at risk. Michael, who are you trying to convince that you’re doing the right thing, me or you? You may not agree with my methods, but I have no regrets about making nina pay for her actions. And what about your actions? What are you talking about? On the one hand, you say you won’t try to cut nina off from seeing wiley, but you have to know that if nina is facing criminal charges, that’s bound to affect any potential visitation going forward. Well, you know what? If nina faces that consequence as a result of what she did to my father, so be it. Keeping a secret from phyllis doesn’t, you know, seem like a good idea to me. Yeah, and we’ve — well, we’ve learned what secrets can do. Um… yeah. It’s just, I genuinely want to help phyllis, and I don’t want my help to be misinterpreted as buying back her friendship. Well, I don’t need your help financially to buy charlie’s, and I don’t want to take your money ’cause then it’s like — even if you have good intentions, it’s like we’re — we’re gonna be too connected. Yeah, yeah. And that’s the last thing that you want. I-I have to say that, you know, I’ve been waiting with a fair amount of dread to have carly, you know, tear into me about our relationship in nixon falls. But she hasn’T.

we had a run-in at the quartermaines’, and carly went after my jugular. She never said a word about me… tricking you into loving me, and she still hasn’T. So I just…assume that she doesn’t know. Okay, let me tell you something, alright? Carly and I are rebuilding our life together after nine months apart. Why make it worse… …after what you did? Well, let me tell you something. Carly will never find out about it from me. You have the opportunity to finally stop your wayward nephew and bring closure to countless people.

[ Sighs ] Be smart, anna. That’s all that matters here. Don’t let pettiness over the past get in your way. I wouldn’t call what you did to robin “petty.” You stole years of her life. I’m not trying to minimize what I’ve done. I-I’ve made mistakes — huge mistakes, yes — but we both know life isn’t black and white. It’s all shades of gray. Look, you have every right to be angry about what happened to your daughter at crichton-clark, but, ultimately, she walked away unscathed. Now, can we really say the same about anyone who’s gonna get in peter august’s way? Okay. I might have more leverage at the wsb than robert sometimes, but you need to understand that your fate doesn’t lie in my hands. It might as well. Look, I-I know your stock has fallen with the wsb over recent years, but you still have friends — friends in high places. And if you have any favors outstanding, I suggest you call them in. Make my case or the blood that peter continues to shed will be on your hands. I need to go. Oh, and, anna, give my best to my son. Dr. Collins, you’re a genuine lifesaver. I…was so afraid spence would have to stay in jail. If I’m not mistaken, spencer will need a permanent home address to show stability. That’s correct. That settles it. You’ll move back in with me. That works for me. Spencer, a word in private, please. Yeah. Okay, well, we’ll just be out in the hall. I’m a lot of things, kevin, but I’m not naive. You and grandmother are gonna post the money for my bail. What’s the catch? Ava, I just want you to know how much it means to me that you were willing to offer spence a way out. I-I understand his pride temporarily got in the way of him accepting it, but trust me. I’ll talk to him. Oh, yes, do, please, and try to talk some sense into him. And whatever you do, esme, don’t let him drag you into any more bad behavior. Never. I should have stood up to spence and from now on, I will. I hope so.

[ Monitors beeping ] Oh, thank god, you’re awake. Guess so.

[ Sighs ] Surprise me, cassadine. Do the right thing. See ya. Okay. You gave me quite — you gave all of us quite a scare. You know, um, I’ll call brook lynn, let her know that you’re okay. No, not yet. Not yet. Well, don’t you want your daughters to know that you’re awake? Not until I talk to you. Whatever victor is asking for, don’t give it to him. Everything okay? Yeah. I had to, um, tell jason what I know about drew. Yeah. Yeah, how’d he take it? It was — it was okay. I-I told him that I felt the need to investigate before I-I said anything to him. Yeah. You know, until they find drew’s body, there’s a chance he survived, right? Yeah. I mean, jason said the same thing. I just don’t know… what there is left here for me to do. I mean, I can stay here and see things through. Or I can go home because my kids come first. Then maybe you should do that. You tried to bring scout’s father back, and now it’s time to go be with scout and danny. I’m sorry about your brother. Thanks. You know, drew and i weren’t exactly close, but he was important to monica and I’m just, you know — just thinking about her. Really? So you’re not thinking about how it was my crazy brother that shot yours? You’re not responsible for anything peter does. I know. But still, you’re here helping me find my mother, who has committed her own fair share of crimes. I wouldn’t blame you if you changed your mind and wanted to go home. No. We have a job to do. I’m not going anywhere.

At least we can all agree we want what’s best for spence. Maybe now you can see I have his best interests at heart. Maybe we could all be friends, after all. I’m sorry, I-i should be thanking you for providing my bail money. I certainly was not looking forward to spending another night in jail. Your grandmother and i are happy to help, but it comes with limitations. If you want our support, you’ll have to earn it. Earn it how? We have a few ideas, starting with you getting a job. Well, that was unexpected. Yeah, leave it to my son to zig when we want him to zag. I can handle him not accepting the deal. What bothers me most is the look on his face after he entered his plea. What was that? That this is far from over. Spoke to anna. She’s not going to help you. Well, if you say so, robert. I don’t have any control over what the wsb decides to do. But you don’t have me fooled. The world was a much better place when you were dead. Nothing to say? I’m still feeling a bit parched, robert. So why don’t you make yourself useful and fetch me some more water? Oh, and I prefer sparkling. Whatever victor is proposing, it’s a trap. No, no, I know that, obviously. Yes. And we have no idea of knowing what he’s been up to the past few years, but what choice do we have? Peter has to be stopped — for drew, for obrecht. Most certainly for maxie. Victor knows where he is. I sense it. So this is our best chance, don’t you — wait, wait. Careful, careful, careful. Don’t move. We can’t involve victor. We’ve gotten close to peter before. We’ll do it again. If there’s bad news about drew, I’d rather be at home with my kids. Makes sense. I’ll go arrange flights back. Wait, I-I didn’t say you have to come with me. I know. I want to. Jason: To pick up peter’s trail, we’re gonna have to retrace his steps. Where do we start? The last place your mother was seen — her prison cell. Wiley’s all set. Now we can finish our conversation. It isn’t over already? No, not for me. What you’re doing seems cold and calculating. Willow, I gave nina chance after chance. Even after that meltdown at my father’s funeral, I still gave her the opportunity to visit wiley, and what does she do? She brings up nelle, making wiley doubt that you’re actually his real mother. And then after that, I gave her another chance, and how does she thank us? By lying. By keeping the knowledge that my father is still alive, and for what? To punish my mother? Michael, I can’t deny anything you’re saying. It’s just — what do you think is going to happen to nina? That’s up to D.A. Sheridan. But if you’re asking me, I think that she needs to be held accountable. I guess this concludes our business. You’ll buy charlie’s and I won’t be involved, financially or otherwise. And carly won’t have to know how much it…progressed in nixon falls. Correct. I’m glad phyllis is going to have charlie’S. You know, I hope she stays in port charles. I really consider her my — my family, and I want to earn back the trust of those people that I love. Hmm. Nina reeves? Uh, yeah, I’m nina reeves. Is there a problem? You’re under arrest for identity

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Lani: Aunt paulina, what brings you here?

Marlena: Look, you are about to take a sacred oath to be– to be true to abe. And how can you do that knowing that you’re lying to him about being lani’s mother?

Paulina: There’s something important I need to discuss with you. Is this a good time?

Lani: Yeah, uh, the twins are napping, and eli’s out with his grandmother, so come on.

Paulina: [Chuckles]

Marlena: And you told them it’s impossible for them to see mr. Williams, right?

Of course. But mrs. Williams’s grandson is a police officer, and he demanded that they both be given access.

Marlena: He demanded?

They’re going to take this to my superior.

Marlena: Now, you listen to me. It is very dangerous for julie to see mr. Williams. I’m on my way in. Just stall them till I get there.

How will I–

Demon marlena: Ugh! Julie, julie, julie.

[Sighs] It’s time you learned to leave well enough alone.

Marlena: No, it can’t be. It can’t be.

John: What’s going on? What was doug doing?

Marlena: This is impossible. Stop that. You don’t know what you’re saying. This is–this is dementia.

[Doug speaking indistinctly]

John: What’s he saying?

Gabi: Where are you, jake? I was in the pub hanging out with ciara waiting for you. And then ben came in and said you left to take care of something. What could be so important that you couldn’t come inside and tell me yourself?

[Scoffs]

Carmine: [Laughs] You’re killing me. You with a gun? Come on, jake, you’re a pussycat. There’s no way that you would shoot me, and we both know it. See what I mean? You couldn’t do what needed to be done, just like you couldn’t with jed zanetti. Luckily, I got no problem doing what needs to be done.

Abe: What the hell is going on here?

Jake: No!

[Suspenseful music]

Abe, abe. Mayor carver.

[Abe groaning] Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Hey. Hey, hey. Hey.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Jake: No, no, no, shh. What the hell is wrong with you? You shot the mayor!

Carmine: This is all on you. You made me do it. And it’s your gun.

Jake: You son of a bitch! Hey, shh, shh. Hey, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me. I’m gonna get you help, all right?

[Abe groaning] Hey, hey, hey. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. No, no, no, I need an ambulance at the park just off the town square. Yeah, mayor carver’s been shot!

Lani: I got the cutest text from my dad going on about how excited he is about the wedding– how he is buying himself a new suit. He wants this day to be perfect.

Paulina: [Chuckles] Oh, your father has already gone out of his way to make it perfect.

Lani: Because he loves you.

Paulina: And I love him so much.

Lani: I know you do.

Paulina: I feel so lucky to have a man like abe. He’s so respected and adored by so many. We even got marlena to perform the ceremony.

Lani: That’s great. They go way back.

Paulina: Yeah, I know. I know. We go way back, too. That’s why when marlena tells me anything, I take it to heart.

Lani: She’s very wise.

Paulina: She gave me some advice earlier.

Lani: Well, if it was marriage advice, I’d listen to her. In fact, please pass it along to me.

Paulina: Um, well, actually, it wasn’t marriage advice. It was about you.

Lani: About me? Well, what about me?

[Baby cries on baby monitor] Hold that thought.

[Crying continues]

Paulina: Lani… how am I going to tell you that I’m your mom and abe is not your real father?

Eli: How much longer until we can see mr. Williams?

I’m still working on clearance.

Julie: Well, you’ve been working on it for half an hour. If I’m not allowed to see my husband immediately, detective grant is going to insist on seeing the head of this institution, your boss.

Marlena: That won’t be necessary.

Julie: Marlena. Why am I not surprised? The nurse called you, didn’t she?

Marlena: Of course she did. I would expect her to when somebody comes in and tries to see a patient of mine who’s not allowed to have visitors.

Julie: I am not a visitor. I’m doug’s wife.

Marlena: Julie, I’ve told you before, it’s not safe. He attacked you once. He could do it again.

Eli: I’ll be by my grandmother’s side the entire time. So I’ll make sure that she’s safe.

Marlena: It’s not just your safety that I’m worried about. It’s also doug’S.

Julie: Why?

Marlena: Look, I’m afraid that the sight of you might upset him, which could set him back.

Julie: It could also give him comfort. It could raise his spirits. My god, he’s been in this place isolated for days. He must think I’ve abandoned him.

Eli: Come on, marlena, I mean, please. You got to understand what they’re going on.

Marlena: You’ve got to understand that I am trying to help doug and julie.

Eli: Okay. I get that you have the authority to keep my grandmother from seeing doug, but I have the authority to question him about a crime.

Marlena: What’s he saying? That you’re going to press charges against doug for assaulting you?

Julie: Of course not.

Eli: Yeah, no. I didn’t even say anything about my grandmother. Actually, I’d like to have him explain more about how you tried to kill him.

[Recorder whirring]

Marlena: That’s not funny, doug.

John: Ah, I don’t understand this. Why don’t I hear what doug’s saying?

Marlena: No, no, you can’t be the–

[Recorder whirring] Why are you doing this? Why are you doing this to doug? He’s the kindest, gentlest man I’ve ever known. He’s an angel.

John: Is doug not even in the room with you?

Marlena: Why are you doing this? After all these years, why have you come back to salem?

John: If that’s not doug… who the hell is she talking to? Serena: It’s my 3:10

[Knock at door]

Kayla: Marlena, are you free–

[Scoffs] Not again.

John: No, no, no, no, no. It’s not what you think.

Kayla: I warned you the other day that accessing marlena’s private patient information was a violation. What are you thinking?

John: What marlena is thinking is what I’m worried about.

Kayla: What do you mean?

John: Something bad is happening to my wife, and it started right after her session with doug. Now, when I play this recording–

Kayla: No, don’t say anything, all right? Just give me the recording.

John: I’ve already listened to the session!

Kayla: I don’t want to know that.

John: No, no, you got to understand. There’s something off with the recording.

Kayla: I don’t care. If you heard something, forget it, all right? And if you don’t give me the recorder, I’m going to have to report this as a violation of patient-doctor confidentiality and a violation of–

John: Damn it, kayla. You got to hear me out here. Come on, you were one of doc’s closest friends.

Kayla: And she would be very unhappy to know that you are here right now.

John: Please, just listen to the recording. For some reason, when marlena speaks, I hear her voice really clear. But when doug speaks, all I hear is static. And the way marlena is talking, it sounds like there’s someone else with her.

Marlena: Obviously doug was not in his right mind when he claimed that I tried to kill him.

Eli: I’d like to hear that from him.

Marlena: He’s delusional, eli.

Eli: I’ll be the judge of that, marlena.

Marlena: You’re not qualified to judge it. I’ve been a psychiatrist for many, many years. I’m trained to diagnose somebody that’s going through what doug is going through.

Julie: Well, I am his wife. I know him better than anybody in the world does.

Marlena: Yes, but he’s not who he was before.

Eli: Why would he think that you tried to hurt him?

Marlena: Because he’s paranoid… because he’s confused. Look, I try to do the very best I can for all my patients, but once in a while, a patient comes along who is so deeply disturbed that they think the therapist has become the enemy.

Eli: Did you do something to him that would make him think that?

Marlena: Of course not. I took an oath. First, do no harm. In my professional opinion, I think that julie seeing doug would do that kind of harm.

Julie: Well, I’ve heard about your learning. I’ve heard about your judgment. I heard about you took a hippocratic oath, but you’re not behaving like a human being, marlena. My god, I thought of you as family all my life– loving, supportive.

Marlena: Thank you for that.

Julie: Well, what’s happened to your compassion? Even as you’re looking at me, your eyes are so cold. I don’t think I know you anymore.

Lani: You seem to have the magic touch with jules.

Paulina: There’s no magic to it, just practice and technique. The same technique I used on you when you were a babe. You know, the secret is in the rhythmic pats on the tush.

Lani: Tush pats is your secret>

Paulina: Uh-huh. The secret is the rhythm. It’s not a random thing. It’s three paths, sway, three pats, then sway.

Lani: And that works?

[Laughter]

Paulina: It worked on you every time, and you were stubborn. Oh.

Lani: I didn’t know that you helped mom with me when I was a baby.

Paulina: Oh, no, no, not all the time. Just when things were really hectic, uh, but I treasured every moment

Lani: Until you had to leave for your next adventure.

Paulina: Well, tammy decided that she had to have you all to herself, and your grandma, she agreed. But I just enjoyed being close to you for as long as it lasted.

Lani: Well, I’m sure it was good practice for you until you finally had a daughter of your own.

[Siren approaching]

Jake: All right, help is on the way. You just got to hang in there, all right, abe?

Rafe: Jake, what’s going on?

Jake: Thank god you’re here. He’s not doing well.

Rafe: Get your hands up. Move away from him.

Jake: What? No, no, no, you don’t understand.

Rafe: Move away from him!

Jake: You don’t– I-I-I didn’t do this!

Rafe: Now!

Jake: I’m the one who called 911!

Rafe: Get away from him now. Come on, get in there. Hands behind your back.

Jake: What?

Rafe: Get ’em– come on, abe.

Rafe: Oh, my god.

Gabi: Answer your phone. Hey, watch where you’re going.

Carmine: Go to hell.

Gabi: Hey, wait a minute. You’re carmine merlino. My hygienist cleans with a round head.

Gabi: What are you doing here, carmine?

Carmine: You must got me confused with somebody. I got one of those faces.

Gabi: No, no, no. I know exactly who you are. I saw that ugly mug in a file that philip kiriakis gave me.

Carmine: I don’t know who that is.

Gabi: You’re a terrible liar. He brought you to town, didn’t he? He’s trying to pin this–this jed zanetti’s murder on jake, but you’re the one who really killed him.

Carmine: Let me guess– you’re jake’s latest. Drawn to the bad boy with the heart of gold.

Gabi: [Scoffs] Don’t worry about who I am. We are not giving up.

Carmine: Fine, but I got news for you, sweetheart. Right now jake’s got bigger problems than jed zanetti.

Lani: You said marlena gave you some advice about me?

Paulina: Yes, she did.

Lani: Okay. You want to share?

Paulina: Uh… lani, I need you to know… before I ever loved your father… I loved you so much.

[Sighs] And because of how… I think of your father and what he means to me, this is why I need to have this conversation with you.

Lani: This sounds serious.

Paulina: It is. And your father, he… he doesn’t know anything about what I’m about to share with you. But I hope and I pray that he understands why I decided to tell you first.

Lani: Okay. I got to admit, you’re starting to worry me here, auntie. I–

Paulina: No, no, no worries. No worries. All I want is for us to all be a family.

Lani: Does this have to do with the other night… when you asked me to call you mama?

Paulina: Actually, it does.

Marlena: Oh, julie, I’m sorry you don’t feel that I’ve been caring enough towards you and doug. I’m just–I’m trying so hard to be professional. And because of our long and close friendship, I… I need to ask you to trust me.

Julie: Marlena, I’ve shown my trust in you. I let you talk me into having doug committed to this institution. But with the decisions you’ve been making lately, it’s getting harder and harder to believe that you really–that you really care about what’s best for him.

[Cell phone rings]

[Cell phone beeps]

Eli: Hey, rafe, I’m sorry. This is not a good time.

Rafe: Yeah, there’s been a shooting.

Eli: I’m at bayview right now with my grandmother. You’re gonna have to have somebody else cover for me.

Rafe: Listen, I’m not asking you to work the case. The victim is abe.

Eli: What?

Rafe: Yeah, he was just shot in the chest, and we’re about to take him to the hospital now. I thought you’d want to be the one to tell lani.

Eli: Okay. I’m on my way.

Julie: What’s happened?

Eli: Abe’s been shot. They’re taking him to the hospital.

Julie: My god! How bad is he? What happened?

Eli: I don’t know, grandma. I don’t have all the details. He’s been shot in the chest, and he’s headed to the hospital–that’s all I know. But I got to go tell lani.

Marlena: Go ahead. I will stay with julie.

Eli: Okay, thank you.

Julie: Who would do such a thing to a man like abe?

Marlena: I don’t know. There’s a lot of evil in the world. May I drive you home?

Julie: Oh, no, no. I want to go right to the hospital. I should be there for abe and for lani and eli.

Marlena: Aren’t you afraid you’ll be in the way?

Julie: [Scoffs] In the way? No, they’re my family. If you cannot drive me, I’ll just call a taxi.

Marlena: No, no, that would be a mistake. I have a much better idea.

Kayla: So you’re saying you think that there was someone in the room with marlena and doug? It was a private session.

John: I’m telling you, she was talking to somebody else, and she was scared.

[Cell phone ringing]

Kayla: I’m sorry. I got to take this. Dr. Johnson. What? I’m on my way.

John: Everything all right?

Kayla: There was a shooting, and the victim’s en route.

John: Okay, I’ll tell you what? I’ll just wait for you outside er.

Kayla: John, it was abe.

John: No way.

[Dramatic music]

Jake: Hey, how is abe? Is he going to be all right?

Rafe: I don’t know. He was shot in the chest, jake. Tell me what happened. Oh, so now you’re not gonna say anything. So what, you just, uh–you came across him lying there?

Jake: What if I did?

Rafe: So, uh…. so you’re claiming someone else shot him. They left the gun by his body, and you saw nothing.

Jake: I’m not saying anything else without my lawyer. Advil dual action fights pain 2 ways.

Rafe: Abe’s been shot. He might not make it. And you’re gonna lawyer up on me?

Jake: I want my phone call.

Rafe: Well, you need to know that abe is not only my friend and mentor, but he is one of the best men that I have ever known. And if you are responsible for this, I am not gonna rest until you pay.

[Dramatic music]

[Door closes]

[Line trilling]

[Cell phone ringing]

Gabi: Hello.

Jake: Hey.

Gabi: You finally called me back. I was really starting to worry. Where are you?

Jake: [Sighs] I’m at the police station.

Gabi: Oh, god, is this about carmine?

Jake: Just get down here as soon as you can.

Gabi: [Sighs]

Julie: Abe has been shot in the chest. Nobody knows what his condition is. What good would I be going home?

Marlena: Well, no offense, but what good would you be at the hospital?

Julie: I take great offense at that, marlena. And if you will not drive me to the hospital, just get out of my way, please.

Marlena: No, no. You know what? I… I’ve got a better idea. Why don’t I drive you to st. Luke’s?

Julie: You want to take me to church?

Marlena: Yes. Yes. I was thinking that we could– we could, uh, pray together for doug and for abe.

Julie: Right now?

Marlena: Yes. Well, I know how much you believe in the power of prayer. Well, I-I saw you and john just the other day praying for doug in the chapel.

Julie: Well, of course I believe in the power of prayer, but–

Marlena: And the church is only–only just steps away from the hospital. I think it would be very helpful if we went there and we prayed together for doug and abe.

Julie: I suppose you’re right.

[Scoffs] Actually, these days, I always have my rosary with me.

Marlena: Oh, it’s okay. It’s– don’t you think you ought to just pull that at st. Luke’s?

Julie: All right.

Marlena: Okay, then we have a plan. Um, I-I think it’s good that we’re doing this together.

Julie: Marlena… I’m sorry that I’ve been so harsh with you about doug’s care. I-I know you’re not the enemy, and… I apologize for demonizing you.

Marlena: Well… it’s not the first time that’s happened. I guess I can get over it.

Julie: Thank you for offering to pray with me.

Demon marlena: All the prayers in the world won’t help you now.

Lani: I hope you understand that even though you’re marrying my father, calling you mama is weird to me. You will always be my auntie, not my mother.

Paulina: I got to– I can understand why you feel that way.

Lani: And besides, I mean, do names even really matter? We both know how we feel about each other in our hearts.

Paulina: That’s so true. That’s so true, baby. What I need you to understand is that… you are so much more to me than just my niece or abe’s daughter. The truth is…

[Lock clicking]

Lani: Hey. Babe, I wasn’t expecting you home so soon. Were you able to get julie in to see doug?

Eli: No. Look, baby, something happened while I was at bayview.

Lani: To doug? Is he okay?

Eli: Not to doug, to your dad.

Lani: Huh?

Eli: He’s been shot. Your mission:

Gabi: Oh, my…

Jake: Hey.

Gabi: I’m so glad you’re okay.

Jake: Sorry. Sorry to worry you.

Gabi: Baby, I was just more annoyed than worried. I ran into carmine.

Jake: You did? When?

Gabi: I bumped into him outside of the pub, and I could recognize him from the picture–the file that philip gave me.

Jake: Did he know who you are?

Gabi: I told him.

Jake: Why would you do that, gabs?

Gabi: What is going on, jake? You ditched me at the brady pub. Is that what you’re here? Did he turn you in?

Jake: Gabi… I was the one who convinced carmine to come to salem.

Gabi: What?

Jake: Yeah. I wanted to tell him face-to-face I wasn’t gonna let philip use him… to steal your company. He wouldn’t listen to reason… so I pulled a gun on him.

Gabi: You what?

Jake: I was just trying to scare him.

Gabi: Well, I guess you succeeded. He was in a hurry when I bumped into him.

Jake: Yeah, well, he didn’t back down. And then he grabbed for the gun.

Gabi: What?

Jake: Yeah. We struggled for a bit. And then mayor carver showed up.

Gabi: Wait, abe was there?

Jake: He tried to intervene.

[Sighs] Probably saved my life, but–

Gabi: What? Did–did something happen to abe?

[Monitor beeping]

Kayla: There’s no sound on the right. Probably a hemothorax or a pneumothorax. I’m gonna have to intubate. There is an exit wound, and he’s in shock from loss of blood. We need a massive transfusion protocol.

Blood pressure dropping.

Kayla: We need to get him stabilized. Hang on, abe. Come on. Hang on.

[Elevator bell dings]

Lani: John.

John: Oh, lani. I am so sorry, baby.

Lani: You heard about my dad?

John: I was with kayla when she got the news. She’s with him right now in the trauma unit.

Paulina: Oh, why, why? Eli– who would want to shoot that dear man?

John: Eli, you got any info on that?

Eli: No. Nothing yet.

Lani: Is he going to be all right?

John: I don’t have any details yet, sorry.

Paulina: Oh, leave that to me.

Eli: Wait, wait. No, I’m sure kayla will update us if she has any new information.

Paulina: I’m not waiting on any update. That man, that is my fiancé.

Eli: Wait. Paulina, you can’t just barge in there like that.

Paulina: Let them stop me.

Eli: Paulina!

Lani: Let me handle this, okay? Stay with the kids.

John: You have no idea how any of this happened?

Eli: No, I got the call while I was at bayview from rafe while I was trying to get my grandmother in to see doug.

John: Did you see him?

Eli: No. Marlena showed up and blocked us. We were dealing with all that when I got the call.

John: Did you leave julie with marlena at bayview?

Eli: Yeah, but my grandmother texted me. She said marlena and her are headed down to st. Luke’s to pray for abe.

John: St. Luke’s?

Eli: Yeah. Is everything okay?

John: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just, uh… keep me posted about abraham. I’m gonna check on julie and marlena.

[Elevator bell dings]

Julie: [Sighs]

[Suspenseful music]

Marlena: Why don’t you light a votive candle for abe and doug?

Julie: Yes, of course.

Lord, hear our prayer.

Demon marlena: They say everyone is welcome in your house… but what about me? How does it feel to have me back in your sacred space again? Such fond memories I have of trashing the place 25 years ago. I’m almost glad that it’s been cleaned up, patched back together… because now I can desecrate it all over again. Those who believe in you think that humans gain grace through sacrifice. Well, I’m here to offer my own sacrifice to you… your devoted servant, julie. I will drown her in the same font where her great-grandbabies were baptized. Nothing says satan has returned like a little drowning in the house of god.

Gabi: Did you tell rafe what happened, that carmine shot abe?

Jake: [Sighs] I panicked, okay? I didn’t pull the trigger, but it was my gun.

Gabi: Why didn’t you tell that to my brother?

Jake: I didn’t want to incriminate myself, gabi. What was I supposed to say? I was threatening carmine because I didn’t want him to implicate me in a murder?

Gabi: Oh, I can’t believe this.

Jake: I’m sorry.

Gabi: No, it is not your fault, okay? If philip and ava hadn’t tried to steal gabi chic… oh, damn those two.

Jake: Your brother’s pretty upset about abe. He’s pissed that I’m not talking.

Gabi: Hey. I will talk to him right now, okay? Right now we just have to pray… that abe pulls through, okay?

[Monitor beeping]

Kayla: His blood pressure’s stabilizing, but we need more plasma.

Paulina: Where’s abraham? Where’s my–

Kayla: Paulina.

Paulina: Abe, dear god! You need to save him!

Kayla: Paulina, you cannot be in here. You cannot be in here.

Paulina: Oh, he needs to know I’m here for him.

Kayla: Yeah, he does, okay? Would you please give us some room to work and go on out? Thank you.

Paulina: He needs to know I’m here and I love him.

Lina: Aunt paulina, he knows that, okay? He is fighting his hardest to get back to you and to me and to everyone who loves him, okay? I know, I know, I know.

Julie: And please, lord… hold doug and abe safe… in your everlasting arms. Lord, hear our prayer.

Marlena: Amen. That was lovely.

Julie: [Sighs deeply] I always feel so much better in… a sacred space.

Marlena: Yes. We all do. Isn’t this where your grandbabies were baptized?

Julie: Oh, yes. What a joyful day that was, marlena– welcoming little jules and carver into the family of god.

Marlena: [Chuckles] Babies–such a blessing.

Julie: And I was honored, honored to be chosen godmother to little jules. And I know how abraham was thrilled to be godfather to little carver. And now…

Marlena: We just have to hope that abe will be fine.

Julie: I can hardly believe that we’re here praying for his life… and for doug… to be restored to me, to be the man I’ve always loved. When did our lives take this dark turn? And… how did it happen so fast?

John: Doc! Julie!

Julie: [Chuckles] John. How did you know you were here?

John: I saw eli at the hospital. He said you texted him.

Julie: Well, it was marlena’s idea that we come here.

John: Is that right?

Marlena: Yes. I thought it would do us both some good.

Julie: How’s abe, honey?

John: Kayla’s doing everything that she can for him. Eli is there with lani and the twinners and paulina, but they sure could use your support.

Julie: Well, I told marlena that, and she thought I’d be in the way.

John: Did she now?

Marlena: I just thought there were better uses of our time, like being here to pray for abe and doug.

John: Julie… why don’t you head on across the street? I’m sure they’re gonna be real glad to see you.

Julie: Thank you, john.

Marlena: [Shouts]

John: Hold on a second, doc.

Marlena: [Scoffs] Shouldn’t we be going over there? I mean, we’re close, dear friends of abe’S. Wouldn’t we want to be there with him?

John: We will be. But I also want to be here for my wife, except… I’m not so sure you are my wife anymore. As someone who resembles someone else,

Marlena: John, what are you talking about? Of–of course I’m your wife.

John: No, you haven’t– you haven’t been yourself since that incident with doug.

Marlena: Well, maybe it was just very upsetting to see somebody you care about so much lose his mind. As his doctor–

John: I went to your office, and I listened to the recording of your session with doug.

Marlena: You shouldn’t have–

John: I heard your voice perfectly but doug… only static.

Marlena: Hmm, that’s odd.

John: Yeah, you know, at first, I was confused about that. Couldn’t figure out what it meant. But you sounded so scared, so I started thinking really hard about what you said on that recording. You asked him why after all these years has he come back to salem. And I thought, “that doesn’t make any sense. Doug’s been here forever.”

Marlena: I don’t know what to say–

John: And then it finally hit me, why I couldn’t hear doug’s voice. The reason why you were so scared was… because you weren’t even talking to doug, were you? There was someone else in the office that day, someone you hadn’t seen in 25 years.

Marlena: I’m sure I don’t know what you’re talking about.

John: Oh, I’m sure you do because you’re the one who attacked julie… you’re the one who has caused all of this.

Marlena: You should stop talking now before you say something you’ll regret.

John: It’s you, isn’t it? You have possessed my wife again, haven’t you?

Jake: It’s my fault abe got shot.

Gabi: No, no, it’s not your fault. You were trying to save my company. So right now we just have to stall for time… and hopefully abe recovers enough to tell rafe exactly what happened… that carmine shot him, not you.

Jake: Yeah. Abe has to pull through… not because of me…

[Sighs] Because of his family… and all the people who love him.

Lani: Let’s just sit here for a minute.

Eli: Hey, how’s your dad? Did you talk to kayla?

Lani: Yeah, but she wouldn’t say. He lost a lot of blood.

Paulina: Oh, eli, why? Why? What could this shooting be about? Do you think abe was targeted because he’s black?

Eli: I hope not, but we’ll follow up with rafe.

Paulina: Oh. Oh.

Lani: Dad.

Paulina: Lani… lani, your father–he’s a strong man, the strongest man I’ve ever met.

Lani: Yeah, I– me too.

Paulina: Honey… I know he’s looking forward to our life together… and also to a daughter that he loves and the family that she’s built– those two precious babies. We’ll get through this. We will. And then after, we’ll all celebrate our wedding… together.

Lani: Yeah.

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.

[Monitor beeping rapidly] Ah, we’re losing him.

[Monitor flatlines]

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 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.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Liam: Hey, so kelly and i already, uh, we washed out all the buckets, and we put the kites away.

Steffy: Thank you. Is she… where is she?

Liam: Yeah… she kinda talked me into rewarding her with screen time for the whole bucket thing.

Steffy: Mm. Of course she did.

[Both laughing]

Liam: I like this mommy daddy date thing with kelly. We should do that more.

Steffy: Yeah. I like it too. I mean it’s– it’s really important. Plus, it’s nice that our partners don’t mind.

Liam: I mean, as far as we know. They could have been complaining about it at lunch the whole time.

Steffy: Yeah, that’s true. I hope not. Actually, what I really hope is that they’re spending time right now, talking about how much sheila and deacon cannot be in our lives.

Sheila: You initiate it this time.

Deacon: Initiate what?

Sheila: The kiss.

Deacon: Uh, that’s a hard pass. What the hell has gotten into you?

Sheila: Look, finn and hope are watching us. We need to show them that we have a really good connection. Would you just trust me? I know what I’m doing.

Deacon: Oh really, do you? Was this all part of the master plan?

Sheila: You should just kiss me.

Deacon: You want me to kiss you?

Sheila: Yeah.

Deacon: All right, I’ll kiss you. Come here, I’ll kiss you.

Brooke: Eric, hi.

Eric: Hello, ladies.

Donna: Uhm… how– how long were you standing there?

Eric: Uh…

Donna: You heard… didn’t you?

Eric: This beautiful woman admitting that she still loves me, after all these years? Yes, donna, I heard.

Pam: Oh, I swear if donna used those scissors and didn’t put them back where they belong, again. You know what this means, right, charlie? I’m gonna have to check her drawer.

Charlie: Uh, I, I, thought that was, you know, verboten–

Pam: Well, back in the day, I wouldn’t be caught dead touching anything on her side, but I don’t think she’ll mind. Oh, good lord!

Charlie: Hey, is that– is that honey?

Pam: Oh, she still keeps a few of these on hand. I think it makes her feel close to eric.

Charlie: Wow, after all these years? Has she never gotten over him?

Donna: Okay, um, okay, uh, yeah, I’m just gonna, um, pretend to study these files, and, um, we’re never gonna talk about this again, okay?

Brooke: Donna, please, don’t go. As you can see, eric, she’s a little embarrassed that you overheard, but I am glad that you did, because you need to know how she feels about you.

Donna: You know, you know how I feel? I feel that these, uh, that this design is really nice, and I’m, I’m gonna go study this.

Brooke: Honey, honey, please. Donna. Oh, come on. Just talk to eric. And eric, just listen to this wonderfully caring, and affectionate woman, who used to be your wife, and that’s the kind of woman that you need in your life, eric.

Liam: Well, I’m sure they talked about it, right? ‘Cause it’s something they have in common, the old ex-con parent.

Steffy: At least hope grew up knowing what a loser her father is. Finn doesn’t even know his birth mother, and that’s what’s scary to me. That means he could be vulnerable to her.

Liam: Yeah, vulnerable, but he’s not dumb, I mean, he knows to stay away. And even if he doesn’t, hope is a perfect person for him to be hanging out with right now, then, because she is capable of convincing him that he should be nowhere near sheila.

Sheila: Well, could you smile, play the part?

Deacon: I don’t get why you think it’s such a good idea for hope and finn to–

Sheila: Well, you just keep your eyes on me, the woman of your dreams.

Deacon: My nightmares.

Finn: We should leave, right, before they see us.

Hope: No, I need to know what the hell my dad is thinking.

Finn: Hope, no, no, no. No.

Sheila: Show time. Hope! Uh, wow, what a beautiful surprise–

Hope: Hi. Dad, what is going on? What are you doing here with her?

Do I need to pretreat my

laundry?

Brooke: Eric, you know the kind of woman that donna is.

Eric: Yes, I certainly do.

Brooke: And through the years, you’ve spent time with women that, maybe, don’t share those same qualities. So, maybe, it’ll be good if you spend time with somebody that’s a little more positive, a little more tender. And just then, maybe, all of your problems will go away.

Brooke: Charlie? What are you two doing? Are you going through my sister’s things?

Donna: How do I do it? I always find new and ever more horrifying ways to embarrass myself.

Eric: No, don’t be embarrassed. You just made my day.

Donna: Eric.

Eric: Look, it, it’s true. I’m more than flattered. It means a great deal to me to know that you still care about me, after all these years.

Donna: Of course, I do. Nothing will ever change that.

Steffy: I hope this feeling eventually goes away, this sense of being on edge 24/7.

Liam: Yeah, tell me about it. I mean, I, I know deacon’s gonna pop up again at some point, right? The question is just when and where. Here’s the thing though, like, what, uh, what can we really do about it, now? Like, hope knows that she should stay away from deacon, at least. I know you’ve had the exact same conversation with finn, so, all we can do really is just hope and have faith that, that they will.

Steffy: I know, but that is so hard, knowing that sheila, or deacon, or both of them, can worm their way back into our lives. If they hatch some crazy plan together, while finn and hope are at their weakest, we’re all gonna pay the price.

Hope: Dad, I, uh, saw you, kissing her.

Deacon: Heh, ah, you, uh, saw that, all right, guilty. I’m not usually a pda kinda guy, but sometimes, I just can’t resist.

Sheila: Oh. Finn, sweetheart, you’re here too. I, uh–

Deacon: Uh, deacon sharpe.

Finn: Hi.

Sheila: So you, uh, you saw that, you saw that too, that little kiss?

Finn: Hm, yeah. I did, I did.

Sheila: I guess it must be confusing for the both of you.

Hope: Yeah, I’d say so. I mean, I didn’t even realize that you two really knew each other, and let alone, well enough to be kissing each other, so, uh, dad, I mean, some answers, please.

Deacon: Uh–

Sheila: Uh, it started with letters–

Deacon: Letters.

Sheila: Yeah.

Finn: Letters, what, what letters?

Sheila: Uh, when he was in prison, we were corresponding, and those letters, for us, they were life-changing.

Hope: Hm, so, uh, you’re implying that the two of you are a, uh–

Sheila: Yes. We’re a couple.

Deacon: Mm-hm.

(Eerie music)

Hope: You really expect us to believe this?

Finn: Of all the people in the entire world, the two of you just happened–

Hope: To connect through letters?

Sheila: I mean, at, at first, it was just friendly. No, you know, your dad, he’s got that charming wit about him.

Deacon: I really do.

Sheila: And then, it became more flirtatious, and before you knew it, I was, uh, I was visiting him in prison.

Deacon: Which is so ironic too because you’ve spent so much time in prison, so.

Sheila: Yeah, well. Well, then once deacon became eligible for conjugal visits–

Hope: Oh, no, we don’t need to hear about that.

Finn: Don’t need to know about that.

Sheila: I, I, I didn’t mean to embarrass you. I was just trying to explain.

Deacon: You know what, please do. Explain it for ’em. Explain the whole story.

Brooke: What is going on here? Is that donna’s honey?

Charlie: What, that? No, no, no. I, I confiscated that from a nefarious–

Pam: Charlie, give it up. She’s clearly onto us, but before you go tattling on me, it’s totally donna’s fault that I had to go snooping in her drawer.

Brooke: Oh, no. Never mind that. There’s more important things going on here for donna right now than your endless desk war. She’s in there right now with eric.

Pam: Oh?

Charlie: Omg. Is she getting the axe?

Brooke: What? No.

Pam: Wait, brooke, brooke. When you say, “more important,” I mean, do you mean that they might be…

Brooke: Well, I’m not interested in gossiping, and you shouldn’t be either.

Pam: How many hours a day do I sit next to your sister, and for how many years now? I mean, she’s gonna tell me anyway. So you might as well spill the beans.

Brooke: Okay. Okay. Let’s just go somewhere a little more private.

Pam: Come on, charlie. So, is donna finally telling eric how she feels?

Brooke: Look, I don’t want to get into it with you, if anything were to ever come of it.

Pam: Oh come on, please, brooke. All right, I admit, I was completely against the relationship when stephanie was alive, but now that she’s gone…

Charlie: Uh, uh, excuse me, uh, am I the only one that sees a problem here? I mean, doesn’t a certain wife kinda put the kibosh on any kind of donna-eric reunion?

Brooke: I don’t think anybody’s gonna be disappointed if quinn was gone. I mean, really.

Pam: I mean, I know eric is married to her, and i have tried to be happy for him. But he has just seemed so lonely for so long now.

Charlie: Yeah, he’s certainly not the jolly ‘ol fashion guru he once was.

Brooke: Hm, but he could be if he listens to donna, and if he feels the same way about her as she feels for him.

Donna: You don’t think it’s strange that i never truly moved on?

Eric: Strange? No, I don’t think it’s strange. Besides, I like strange. I like it.

Donna: Well, you know, I, I tried. I really did with justin, I did. But I think I was just romanticizing the idea of two high school sweethearts reuniting.

Eric: Yeah.

Donna: In reality, that was never gonna work, not when the true love of my life was right across town. Oh my god, wow, I can’t believe I just said that out loud to your face, and I’m not hyperventilating.

Eric: There, you see, you’ve made real progress.

Donna: Oh I missed that, that, that laugh, that smile, i haven’t seen much of it lately.

Eric: I haven’t had much reason for it, lately, but I can’t help it with you, I mean, you always make me syo you crack me up with things you say.

Donna: Just what a girl wants to hear after admitting her feelings, a man cracking up.

Eric: Yeah, I’m sorry. I walked right into that, didn’t I?

Donna: Yeah. Mm-hm.

Eric: But, uh, but I mean it when I say I was truly flattered.

Donna: Good, because I meant it too. You really are the true love of my life. And you know, there’s no point in even trying to hide it, okay?

Sheila: You have to understand, after writing so many letters back and forth, and, and connecting on paper–

Hope: Okay, just stop, please. You know what is not adding up for me here? Is why you would even think to write her in the first place?

Sheila: It was, it was an apology letter.

Deacon: Hm.

Hope: Why would he apologize to you, of all people?

Sheila: Well, think about it, hope, I mean, why, why was your dad in jail? He shot at quinn, and I was blamed for it. I thought it was really quite nice when he reached out to me, so naturally, I, I wrote back, found out that we had a lot in common, and, and then, after I started seeing him in person, and connecting with him, I found out we had even more in common and that’s when it happened.

Finn: What, what happened?

Sheila: That’s when we fell in love.

Deacon: Mm-hm.

Hope: Love? The two of you are in love?

Deacon: Mm-hm.

Charlie: Oh, come on. I mean, if eric ever looked in donna’s desk drawer, he’d know exactly how she feels. I mean, nothing screams devotion like a private stash of honey bear bottles.

Brooke: That’s true, but I think he probably assumes she moved on years ago.

Pam: A hot tamale like donna could have gotten out there and landed a rich hunk if she wanted to.

Brooke: But, she didn’t, because she still loves eric. But the question is does eric really love quinn? Or do you think he could still have feelings for my sister?

Eric: Donna, you’ve really felt this way about me all these years?

Donna: Yes.

Eric: I had no idea I was still that important to you.

Donna: Our time together, our marriage, was the best moments of my life. Truly, I… I love you. I never stopped.

Eric: Those were some of the most important times of my life too. They really were.

Donna: They were? I’m sorry. I think I need a tissue.

Eric: Here.

Donna: I, I… uh. What was I saying before about embarrassing myself? I think I just hit a new time high.

Eric: Well, you keep, you keep this in your purse at all times?

Donna: Uh… yeah. Um, you know, just remembering what things used to be.

Eric: Yeah.

Donna: Okay fine, fine, I admit, I, I actually, I keep a stash in my desk.

Eric: Wait, a stash?

Donna: Yes, I do.

Eric: Wait, you have some of these in your, in your desk, as what? As mementos?

Donna: No. No, it’s, um, uh… when, um, when I’m, I’m missing you, I, um, I, um, uh, no.

Eric: What, you what? Tell me. Donna, tell me, I want to know.

Donna: It’s like I’m admitting everything today, aren’t I? I, uh. I do this. Reminds me of better times, times with you.

Eric: Yeah?

Donna: Yeah. Remember?

Eric: Yeah, I remember. Here, may I?

Donna: Uh, certainly.

Eric: Nice.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Paulina goes to see Lani, who asks what brings her by. Paulina thinks back to Marlena urging her to tell the truth. Paulina tells Lani that there’s something important that she needs to discuss with her, so Lani invites her in.

Marlena tells the nurse that it’s impossible for Eli and Julie to see Doug. She informs her that Eli is a police officer and demanded access then threatened to take it to her superior. Marlena warns the nurse that it’s very dangerous for Julie to see Doug and says she’s on her way in. Marlena tells her to stall them until she gets there and hangs up. The Devil in Marlena declares that it’s time for Julie to learn to leave well enough alone.

John listens to Marlena’s recording of her session with Doug in her office but can’t hear what Doug is saying in the session.

Gabi leaves the Pub and calls Jake, leaving a message questioning what was so important that he couldn’t tell her why he had to leave.

Carmine laughs at Jake with a gun and calls him a pussycat, arguing that they both know there’s no way he would shoot him. Carmine then grabs the gun from Jake and turns it on him. Carmine remarks that Jake couldn’t do what needed to be done, just like with Jed Zanetti. Carmine says luckily, he has no problem doing what needs to be done. Abe approaches and questions what the hell is going on here. Carmine turns to him. Jake tries to stop him but Carmine fires the gun and shoot Abe in the chest. Abe collapses. Jake rushes to his side to check on him. Jake asks Carmine what the hell is wrong with him. Carmine blames Jake for making him do it by pulling the gun. Jake calls Carmine a son of a bitch as Carmine flees the scene. Jake calls for an ambulance for Abe.

Lani tells Paulina that she got a text from Abe about how excited he is for the wedding. Paulina says Abe has already gone out of his way to make it perfect. They talk about Paulina and Abe being in love. Paulina adds that they even got Marlena to perform the ceremony. Paulina points out that when Marlena tells her anything, she takes it to heart. Lani calls Marlena very wise and advises to always listen to her. Paulina reveals that this advice was about Lani. Lani asks what about her but her babies wake up so she goes to check on them. Paulina wonders how she is going to tell Lani that she is her mom and that Abe is not her real father.

Eli asks the nurse how much longer until they can see Doug. The nurse claims she’s still working on it. Julie warns that Eli will insist on seeing her boss. Marlena then arrives and says that won’t be necessary. Julie says she’s not surprised that the nurse called her. Marlena argues that her patient is not allowed visitors. Julie complains that she is Doug’s wife. Marlena insists that it’s not safe and that Doug could attack her again. Eli argues that he’ll make sure she’s safe. Marlena claims she’s also worried about Doug’s safety because she might upset him and that could set him back. Julie argues that it could comfort him and raise his spirits. Eli pleads with Marlena to understand. Marlena claims she’s trying to help Doug and Julie. Eli gets that she has the authority to keep Julie from seeing Doug, but he has the authority to question him about a crime. Marlena asks if he’s going to press charges against Doug for attacking Julie. Eli clarifies that he wants to have Doug explain more about how Marlena tried to kill him.

John can’t understand why he doesn’t hear what Doug is saying on the recording. John skips ahead and continues listening as Marlena questions why “he” is doing this to Doug. John hears Marlena asking why he came back to Salem after all these years, leaving John to wonder who in the hell she’s talking to.

Kayla goes to Marlena’s office but finds John inside. John tells her that it’s not what she thinks. Kayla reminds him that she warned him that accessing Marlena’s private recordings is a violation. John tells her that something bad is happening to Marlena and it started right after her session with Doug. Kayla demands the recording. John argues that she has to understand there is something off with the recording. Kayla doesn’t care and tells him to forget it or else she will have to report him for violating doctor-patient confidentiality. John pleads with Kayla to hear him out and just listen to the recording because for some reason, he hears Marlena’s voice really clear but when Doug speaks, he hears static and it sounds like there is someone else with her.

Marlena argues that Doug was not in his right mind when he claimed she tried to kill him. Eli wants to hear it from him. Marlena calls Doug delusional. Eli says he will be the judge of that. Marlena argues that Eli is not qualified to diagnose like she is. Julie complains that she’s his wife and knows him better than anyone. Marlena says he’s not who he was before and that he’s just paranoid and confused. Marlena says sometimes patients are so deeply disturbed that they think their therapist is the enemy. Eli asks if she did something to make him think that. Marlena says of course not as she took an oath not to harm and she thinks Julie would do harm. Julie argues that Marlena is not behaving like a human. Julie talks about thinking of Marlena as family for all of her life, so she asks what has happened to her compassion. Julie adds that Marlena’s eyes are so cold. Julie doesn’t think she knows her anymore.

Paulina helps Lani put the babies back down. Lani says Paulina has a magic tough with her daughter Jules. Paulina talks about doing the same with Lani when she was a baby. Lani didn’t know Paulina helped Tamara when she was a baby. Paulina says it was just when things were hectic but she treasured every moment. Paulina adds that she enjoyed it while it lasted. Lani remarks that she’s sure it was good practice until she had a daughter of her own.

Jake encourages Abe to hang in. Rafe arrives with paramedics. Jake tells Rafe that Abe’s not doing well. Rafe sees the gun on the floor and raises his gun, demanding Jake put his hands up and get away from Abe. Jake insists that he did not do this but Rafe orders him away. Rafe handcuffs Jake as the paramedics tend to Abe.

Carmine runs in to Gabi outside the Pub. Gabi tells him to watch where he’s going. Carmine tells her to go to Hell. Gabi stops him as she recognizes him as Carmine. Gabi questions what he’s doing here. Carmine argues that she must have him confused with someone but Gabi insists that she saw his photo in Philip’s file. Carmine claims not to know who that is. Gabi assures that Philip brought him to town to pin Jed Zanetti’s murder on Jake but it won’t happen. Carmine guesses she is Jake’s latest. Gabi insists that they are not giving up. Carmine warns that right now, Jake has bigger problems than Jed Zanetti as he walks away.

Lani asks Paulina about Marlena giving her advice about her and asks if she wants to share. Paulina tells her that before she ever loved her father, she loved her so much. Paulina says because of what Abe means to her, this is why she needs to have this conversation with her. Paulina adds that Abe doesn’t know anything about what she is about to share with her, but she hopes and prays that he understands why she decided to tell her first. Lani starts to worry. Paulina just wants them to all be a family. Lani asks if this has to do with the other night when Paulina asked her to call her “mama”. Paulina responds that it actually does.

Marlena apologizes to Julie if she doesn’t think she’s being caring enough but claims she’s trying to be professional and asks Julie to trust her. Julie argues that she’s shown her trust by letting her commit Doug into the institution. Julie feels it’s getting harder to believe that Marlena really cares about what’s best for Doug. Eli gets a call from Rafe. Eli says it’s not a good time but Rafe informs him there’s been a shooting. Eli explains that he’s at Bayview with Julie so someone else will have to cover. Rafe explains that he’s not asking him to work the case but to inform him that Abe has been shot and he thought Eli would want to be the one to tell Lani. Eli thanks Rafe and hangs up. Eli then informs Julie that Abe has been shot, so he has to go tell Lani. Marlena decides that she will stay with Julie. Julie questions who would do such a thing to a man like Abe. Marlena remarks that there’s a lot of evil in the world. Marlena offers to drive Julie home but Julie wants to go straight to the hospital for Abe, Eli, and Lani. Marlena thinks she’d be in the way but Julie argues that they are her family. Julie says if Marlena won’t drive her, she’ll take a taxi, but Marlena says she has a much better idea…

Kayla questions John thinking someone was in the room with Marlena and Doug when it was a private session. John insists that Marlena was talking to someone else and she was scared. Kayla then gets a call about Abe and says she’s on her way. Kayla informs John that there’s been a shooting and the victim is en route. John says he’ll wait for her but Kayla then reveals it was Abe, which shocks John.

Rafe takes Jake in to the interrogation room. Jake asks if Abe is going to be alright. Rafe asks Jake what happened. Jake stays silent so Rafe questions him not saying anything. Rafe asks if Jake just came across Abe lying there. Jake asks what if he did. Rafe asks if Jake is claiming that someone else shot Abe, left the gun by his body, and that Jake saw nothing. Jake refuses to say any more without his lawyer. Rafe questions Jake lawyering up when Abe has been shot and might not make it. Jake wants his phone call. Rafe warns that Abe is his friend and mentor and one of the best men he’s ever known, so if Jake is responsible for this, he will not rest until he pays. Rafe then gives Jake the phone and exits the room. Jake calls Gabi. Gabi says she was starting to worry and asks where he is. Jake responds that he’s at the police station. Gabi asks if it’s about Carmine. Jake tells Gabi to just get there as soon as she can so they hang up.

Julie questions Marlena why she would go home when Abe has been shot and is in the hospital. Marlena asks what good she would be at the hospital. Julie takes offense to that and tells Marlena to just get out of her way. Marlena then offers to drive Julie to the church so they could pray together for Doug and Abe. Julie questions doing that right now. Marlena knows how much she believes in the power of prayer and mentions her and John praying for Doug in the chapel. Marlena adds that the church is just steps away from the hospital so she thinks they should go pray together for Doug and Abe. Julie mentions always having her rosary with her. Marlena tells her to keep it put away until they get to the church. Marlena thinks it’s good they are doing this together. Julie then apologizes for being so harsh about Doug’s care and says she knows she’s not the enemy. Julie is sorry for demonizing her. Marlena remarks that it’s not the first time that’s happened so she can get over it. Julie thanks her for offering to pray with her. The Devil inside Marlena remarks to himself that all the prayers in the world won’t help her now…

Lani hopes Paulina understands that calling her mama is weird to her, as she will always be her aunt, not her mother. Paulina understands why she feels that way. Lani asks if names even matter since they both know how they feel about each other in their hearts. Paulina says that’s so true. Paulina tells Lani that she’s so much more to her than just her niece or Abe’s daughter. Paulina starts to tell Lani the truth when Eli comes home. Lani wasn’t expecting him home so soon and asks if he got Julie in to see Doug. Eli reveals something happened while he was at Bayview to Abe. Eli then informs Lani and Paulina that Abe has been shot.

Gabi joins Jake in the interrogation room. Jake apologizes for worrying her. Gabi mentions running in to Carmine and she recognized him from his file. Jake questions Gabi telling him who she was. Gabi asks if Jake is here because Carmine turned him in. Jake reveals that he convinced Carmine to come to Salem to tell him to his face that he wasn’t going to let Philip use him but he wouldn’t listen, so he pulled a gun on him. Jake explains that he was just trying to scare Carmine but he didn’t back down and he grabbed the gun. Jake adds that they struggled for a bit and then Abe showed up to try to intervene. Jake reveals that Abe probably saved his life. Gabi asks if something happened to Abe.

Kayla works on Abe and says they need a massive transfusion. Abe’s blood pressure drops as Kayla urges him to hang on.

Lani, Paulina, and Eli arrive at the hospital. Lani rushes to John and hugs him. John says he’s so sorry. John mentions being with Kayla when she got the news. Paulina questions who would want to shoot Abe. Eli says he hasn’t heard anything yet. Lani asks if he will be alright. John says he doesn’t have details. Paulina says to leave that to her. Eli is sure that Kayla will update them but Paulina decides that she’s not going to wait. Lani says she’ll handle this while Eli stays with the kids. John asks Eli if he has no idea how this happened. Eli explains that he got the call from Rafe while he was at Bayview, trying to get Julie in to see Doug but Marlena showed up and blocked them. John asks if he left Julie with Marlena at Bayview. Eli confirms that he did and that Julie texted him, saying she and Marlena were heading to St. Luke’s church to pray for Doug and Abe which John questions. John tells him to keep him posted about Abe while he checks on Julie and Marlena. John then leaves the hospital.

Marlena brings Julie to the church. Julie does the sign of the cross with holy water. Marlena suggests she light a candle for Abe and Doug, which Julie then does. Julie begins to pray. The Devil inside Marlena begins to wonder about being allowed in church and recalls trashing the place 25 years ago and now he can desecrate it all over again. The Devil says to himself that he’s here to offer Julie as a sacrifice and that he will drown her where her great grandbabies were baptized, remarking that nothing says Satan’s return to Salem like a drowning in the House of God. The Devil inside Marlena laughs while Julie prays next to her.

Gabi asks Jake if he told Rafe what happened. Jake says he panicked since it was his gun. Gabi asks why he didn’t tell Rafe. Jake explains that he didn’t want to incriminate himself since he was threatening Carmine. Gabi can’t believe this but insists that it’s not his fault. Gabi blames Philip and Ava for trying to steal Gabi Chic. Jake notes that Rafe is pissed that he’s not talking about Abe. Gabi tells him that she will talk to Rafe but now they have to pray that Abe pulls through.

Kayla says Abe’s blood pressure is stabilizing but they need more plasma. Paulina walks in and panics seeing Abe, saying they need to save him. Kayla tells Paulina that she can’t be in here. Paulina says he needs to know she’s there. Kayla assures that he does and asks her to give them room to work. Lani comes in and tells Paulina that Abe is fighting to get back to them.

Julie finishes her prayer for Abe and Doug. Marlena tells her that was lovely. Julie says she always feels so much better in this sacred space. Marlena claims they all do and brings up this being where Julie’s grandbabies were baptized. Julie calls that a joyful day, welcoming Jules and Carver in to the family of God. Julie adds that she was honored to be Jules’ Godmother and knows Abe was thrilled to be Carver’s Godfather. Marlena says they just have to hope that Abe will be fine. Julie can’t believe they are here praying for Abe’s life and for Doug to be restored to her as the man she’s always loved. Julie asks how their lives took this dark turn and how it happened so fast. Marlena sneaks up behind Julie but John arrives to interrupt them. Julie asks how he knew they were there. John explains that he saw Eli at the hospital. Julie notes that coming here was Marlena’s idea which John questions. Marlena claims that she thought it would do them both some good. Julie asks how Abe is doing. John says that Kayla is doing everything she can and that Eli, Lani, and Paulina are there with the babies but they could sure use her support. Julie says she told Marlena that but Marlena thought she’d be in the way which John questions. Marlena claims she thought there was better use of their time like being here to pray. John tells Julie to go to the hospital as they will be really glad to see her. Julie then thanks John and exits. Marlena tries to follow out but John stops her. Marlena questions them not being there for Abe. John says they will but he also wants to be here for his wife, though he’s not so sure she is his wife anymore. Marlena asks what he’s talking about and says of course she’s his wife. John argues that she hasn’t been herself since that incident with Doug. Marlena argues that it was just very upsetting to see someone you care about lose his mind. John reveals that he went to her office and listened to the recording of her session with Doug and he heard her voice perfectly but Doug was only static. Marlena calls that odd. John says he was confused at first and couldn’t understand but she sounded so scared so he started thinking about how she asked why he came back to Salem after all these years. John declares it finally hit him why he couldn’t hear Doug’s voice and why she was so scared was because she wasn’t even talking to Doug. John guesses someone else was in the office that day, someone she hasn’t seen in 25 years. Marlena claims not to know what he’s talking about but John accuses her of being the one who attacked Julie and caused all of this. Marlena warns him to stop talking before he says something he will regret. John then asks if it’s him and if he has possessed his wife again.

Jake blames himself for Abe getting shot. Gabi argues that it’s not his fault as he was just trying to save her company. Gabi says they have to stall for time and hope that Abe recovers enough to tell Rafe that Carmine shot him. Jake says that Abe has to pull through, because of his family and all the people who love him.

Lani takes Paulina out of the emergency room. Eli asks how Abe is. Lani says that Kayla wouldn’t say and he lost a lot of blood. Paulina questions what this shooting could be about and if Abe was targetted because he’s black. Eli hopes not but says they will follow up with Rafe. Paulina encourages Lani that Abe is the strongest man that she’s ever met. Paulina talks about Abe looking forward to their life together and a daughter he loves and the family she’s built. Paulina assures that they will get through this and celebrate their wedding together as she hugs Lani.

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.

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.

Devon: Look at you, boss lady. I like the way you handled that very much.

Abby: Oh, yeah, for now. But if she’s looking for other jobs, then putting her trout dish on the menu isn’t gonna keep her for long.

Devon: I know you’ve gone through a lot of chefs since Lola left.

Abby: Yes, big shoes to fill. Lola was like a superhero. I miss her so much, not just as a chef, but she was a good friend. I thought we were gonna be in this together.

[ Sighs ]

Devon: You okay?

Abby: Yeah, it’s just, you know, situations like this make you realize that there are no guarantees in life…about anything.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sally: I’m just kidding. No, our plane landed a couple hours ago, and we went our separate ways. The fact that we ran into each other on the way here was just pure coincidence.

Adam: Uh-huh. Now, do you buy that story?

Chloe: Would you?

Adam: Look. Nothing happened in Tuscany that you need to concern yourself with. I mean, other than the fact that Sally had a major success with Victoria’s dress. That’s all we were talking about when you were eavesdropping.

Double espressos, please? Yeah, can’t wait to see what you have planned next for newman media.

Sally: Oh, well, I can’t wait to show you and the rest of the world because it’s just the beginning.

Chloe: [ Clears throat ] Well, this is a nice surprise.

Adam: W-what is?

Chloe: Seeing you two here together, even though I know your plane landed just hours agO. You know, I can’t recall the last time I saw you two with such big smiles on your faces.

Adam: Hmm?

Sally: We’re very happy.

Chloe: Yeah, I understand that. Um…but I thought that you were going to keep this professional. So, did something happen in tuscany that you want to fill me in about?

Adam: Hmm…

[ Lock buzzes ]

Tessa: Buongiorno! Ah, I am back, finally. I am just so excited to see you. Mariah?

Mariah: Anyway, I was just in the neighborhood, so I thought i would drop this off. Is abby home?

Louise: No, she’s at society.

Mariah: Oh. Um… okay. Well, I came to check in on dominic. I know he had a cold.

Louise: [ Sighs ]

Mariah: Is there…a-a problem, because abby said that I was welcome anytime.

Louise: I just got him to sleep. It was difficult.

Mariah: I’m sure. The little dude really likes to fight his naps, especially when he’s overtired. It can feel like a triumph when he finally closes his eyes. So…

Louise: You only know the half of it.

Mariah: How about this? Why don’t you, um, why don’t you take a little bit of a breather, and I can watch over him for a minute?

Louise: Alright, but just for a few minutes.

Mariah: Okay.

Louise: Okay.

Mariah: Here you go. Hi! Hi, bowie. Hi. I’m back…finally.

[ Chuckles ] I’m so happy to see you.

Abby: You want to quit? Pamela, I thought you loved it here. I mean, you love the staff. The kitchen is state-of-the-art. Why would you want to leave?

Pamela: There is a new place about to open in the warehouse district. They made me an offer.

Abby: Okay, well, that’s — it’s pretty risky, don’t you think? I mean, you could start cooking there, and a few months from now they run out of cash? But society is here to stay. We have a large clientele, and they love your cooking. If this is about money, I-I can give you a raise. You deserve it.

Pamela: Thanks, but it’s not just about my salary. I want to create my own menu.

Abby: Look. I get that. But our customers, they love lola’s menu, and if we change it, I mean, aren’t they gonna go elsewhere?

[ Sighs ] Hey, um, you’re right. Right, you should have a chance to put an imprint on the food that you serve. So, um, how about we schedule a time to get together in the kitchen, and you can create a few dishes that you think should be on the menu, and we can take it from there? How does that sound?

Pamela: Thank you, abby. You’re the best.

Devon: Look at you, boss lady. I like the way you handled that very much.

Abby: Oh, yeah, for now. But if she’s looking for other jobs, then putting her trout dish on the menu isn’t gonna keep her for long.

Devon: I know you’ve gone through a lot of chefs since lola left.

Abby: Yes, big shoes to fill. Lola was like a superhero. I miss her so much, not just as a chef, but she was a good friend. I thought we were gonna be in this together.

[ Sighs ]

Devon: You okay?

Abby: Yeah, it’s just, you know, situations like this make you realize that there are no guarantees in life…about anything.

Devon: When’s the last time you heard from chance?

Abby: It was that obvious i was thinking about him?

Devon: Talk to me. Tell me what’s going on.

Abby: [ Sighs ] Alice loves the scent of gain so much,

Mariah: Oh, come here, guy. Oh, come here. Yes, yes, yes. Okay, there you go. You’re calm now. We’re getting calm. What’s that? How am i doing? Why, thank you for asking. That’s very polite. I’m kind of a mess. I’m trying hard to work through my issues. I am. You know, but I have this connection to you, and I don’t know how to let it go. I’ll just have to figure out a way to…to move forward through all of this. But I’m gonna get where I need to be, okay? Don’t you worry about that. Oh, man! It’s just hard. It’s so hard… not just on me. It’s been hard on everyone around me… especially tessa. Can I tell you a secret? When tessa was going to italy, I got really scared. I was worried that we weren’t on the same page about our future. And I’ll let you in on another little secret. I’m still scared.

Mariah’s voice: It’s me. You know how this works. Leave a message.

Tessa: Um, hey. Hey, I just got back. Don’t worry. I wasn’t expecting any welcome-home party or anything, you know? Maybe a few streamers and some balloons, definitely a cake, but something must have come up. So, um, I’m super-wiped from the trip. So, I’m not going anywhere. I’ll see you soon. Bye.

Abby: Yeah, it’s been hard not having chance around the past several months. I’m not hearing from him for weeks at a time, months. I thought he’d be home by the time dominic was born, and… I mean, he hasn’t even gotten to hold his own son in his arms. I mean, his own son.

Devon: You know that it’s okay to feel sad and to feel lonely and to feel frustrated, anything you’re feeling.

Abby: You know, I’ve never admitted this to anyone, but there are nights when I wake up, and I’ve just been crying in my sleep, calling out chance’s name. During the day, I can just keep myself busy. I can push the fear out. But at night… I don’t know how much more of this I can stand.

Adam: Chloe, you, um, you shouldn’t let your imagination get the best of you.

Sally: But if you must know —

Chloe: I must.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sally: I’m just kidding. No, our plane landed a couple hours ago, and we went our separate ways. The fact that we ran into each other on the way here was just pure coincidence.

Adam: Uh-huh. Now, do you buy that story?

Chloe: Would you?

Adam: Look. Nothing happened in tuscany that you need to concern yourself with. I mean, other than the fact that sally had a major success with victoria’s dress. That’s all we were talking about when you were eavesdropping.

Chloe: No, I just — I just overheard. And actually there have been some new developments about the dress.

Adam: Well, I’ll leave you two to discuss them. I have back-to-back meetings at the grand phoenix. So, have fun.

Sally: Good developments?

Chloe: Actually, terrible.

Sally: What? I’ve seen nothing but positive press about the gown.

Chloe: Oh, I’m not talking about the dress itself. The whole world loved the dress.

Sally: Okay. So, then, what could possibly be the problem?

Chloe: There has been some personal fallout from our plan. And I think you should be prepared for what’s coming. I order my groceries online now.

Adam: Hey, chelsea. Uh, yeah, I just got back from tuscany. I was a little surprised to get invited to the wedding, but I’m actually glad I went. It was stunning. It was beautiful and majestic. Yeah, victoria’s gown was a hit. It was a bit of a coup for newman media, but sally — sally hit it big. Oh, um, you’re calling to talk about the e-mail from connor’s teacher? Well, I handled that already. I told him that I think he should be accelerated to the next course of math. Um, yes, I handled it without talking to you. I had to. I tried to get a hold of you, but I know you’re busy with your mom. They needed an answer. I mean, I’m his father. I can make those decisions. Do you not agree he should be accelerated to the next course? Okay, that’s what I thought. I mean, we’re generally on the same page about his education. So… then what’s the problem?

Mariah: Alright, bowie. I have definitely overstayed my welcome. That was a good talk. Thank you for listening. It kind of felt like old times. I’ll see you soon, okay? I promise.

[ Sighs, chuckles ] Okay! You have convinced me. I will stay for a little bit longer.

Abby: I always admired chance’s need to protect and help people. That’s who he is. It’s in his blood. I mean, he wants to help people all over the world. And when we got married, I guess I just — I never expected him to be called away by the feds. That’s why he joined the gcpd. He wanted to settle down, but we never got to settle down. He was gone before I knew it.

Devon: Yeah, I know. And you never expected for him to be gone for this long.

Abby: I thought maybe a couple weeks, a month. I never prepared myself for what it would feel like for him to be gone for this long, for an extended period of time in a dangerous situation. And it was difficult before dominic was born, but I guess it’s only inevitable that I’d be more afraid now.

Devon: Well, yeah, of course. You have a baby, you know? Having a baby heightens everything in life.

Abby: Well, I — I am done pouring my heart out because this is the part where you give me a pep talk, and you tell me that everything’s gonna be alright.

Devon: Oh, you don’t need me to tell you that, abby. You already know everything’s gonna be alright. You have to. You know, sure, chance has been gone longer than everybody expected, but you know that he’s doing everything in his power to come home to you and to his son as soon as he can.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: Right?

Abby: You’re right. It’s just…

Devon: What? You wishing he never had took the case in the first place?

Abby: You nailed it, yeah.

Devon: Yeah, I know. I know. And you have every right to feel frustrated about this situation, because nobody could have predicted this, that he’d be gone for this long, that mariah would get kidnapped by stitch. What I do know, though, and what you should know is that you can handle anything that life throws at you because that’s what you’ve been doing this whole time that chance has been gone. You’ve been handling it. And you have to just keep doing it. You really don’t have a choice because you have a little boy now that needs you to stay strong. And you have all your family, and you have all your friends. And you have people like me. So, stop forgetting that.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Itchy?

Adam: I know! I know it’s not your fault that you are not here. I’m not blaming you. Okay? Look. My meeting is here. I got to go. So, let’s discuss this later.

Devon: Hey, hey. I hope you know you didn’t have to hang up for me.

Adam: No, I’m glad for the interruption. I was talking to chelsea, and it wasn’t going well — about connor.

Devon: Uh-oh. Just having a disagreement?

Adam: No, actually, we were agreeing, which is why it’s so frustrating. I think she was just picking a fight because she feels pushed aside as a parent while she’s away.

Devon: Well, that’s understandable, right?

Adam: Yeah, I just wish she wasn’t taking it out on me. I’m just trying to do what’s best for my son. There’s just nothing I wouldn’t do for my kid.

Devon: Yeah, no, I see that. I’ve actually been very impressed by the way you stepped up for him.

Adam: Well, thank you.

Devon: A father being in a child’s life is half the battle. And there’s a lot of parents that just don’t understand that. So, it’s refreshing. But, um, you’re gonna need to fill me in on the latest promotions because I’m stepping up for nick since he’s extending his trip in europe.

Adam: Yeah, yeah, good for him.

Devon: He was a little reluctant to talk to you and victor. Is there a reason for that?

Adam: We just had a little family disagreement in italy.

Devon: That’s not gonna make work between newman media and new hope difficult, is it?

Adam: Well, let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. But, um, why don’t we get down to business?

Devon: Okay.

Mariah: “And silas the dragon found that he wasn’t so silly after all. He was strong and brave, and the whole town knew it. The end.” I have to say I’m not too sure about this one because he did seem like an incredibly silly dragon, and they just tacked a moral on at the end, but I’m glad you liked it.

Abby: Well, this is a nice surprise.

Mariah: Hi! I didn’t hear you come in.

Abby: Oh, I’m sure you were all wrapped up in silas’ journey.

[ Laughs ]

Mariah: Yes, I was, completely. I hope you don’t mind me just dropping by, but I was just checking on dominic, seeing how he’s recovering from the cold.

Abby: Well, no, you’re welcome here anytime.

Mariah: Thank you.

Abby: I’m surprised to see you. I mean, when you texted me and told me that you weren’t going to italy for the wedding, i thought that you’d stop by sooner, but it’s been days.

Mariah: Well, there were a lot of reasons for me not going to italy, but one of them was i wanted to be here in case dominic got sicker, and you needed my help. But then I didn’t want to overstep. So, I figured it would just be best to keep my distance.

Abby: I get it, yeah. Look. I don’t want there to be any weirdness between us. I mean, no awkwardness. You can come over here anytime.

Mariah: Of course, yeah. But speaking of awkward, I have breast milk for you!

[ Both laugh ] Yeah, I-I know that you’re probably running low, and you were talking about weaning dominic before, but I figured you could just use some, anyway.

Abby: Thank you. Yeah, I will definitely put it to good use, but well, I talked to the pediatrician, and she’s comfortable with switching to formula. So, I think after this… look. I-I know that that must be difficult for you to hear, and i promise you I am not shutting you out. I think this is a good time to transition to formula. So, I hope that’s not a problem.

Chloe: Lauren tore me to shreds. She was not happy that her designer’s dress got tossed aside for yours.

Sally: [ Sighs ] I’m so sorry.

Chloe: Look. I am just afraid that she is going to unload on you. So, I just want you to be prepared.

Sally: Yeah. I mean, I knew there was a possibility that lauren would be mad at me. I just feel terrible that you got caught in the crossfire.

Chloe: Oh, listen. It’s fine, honestly. I probably deserve it. In hindsight, I could have given her a heads-up out of courtesy.

Sally: Yeah, right. But if lauren knew, she would have alerted victoria, and it would have ruined our whole scheme.

Chloe: Don’t — don’t say scheme. No, that makes me feel so much worse. We had a plan, and our plan worked out better than we hoped. And now I just have to deal with the less-pleasant consequences of my actions, which is fine. I-I have — I have dealt with it before. I know the drill. It’s really no biggie.

Sally: You’re not being honest.

Chloe: I beg your pardon?

Sally: This is a big deal. Lauren is a part of your family, and I feel terrible. I have to find a way to fix it. I will just tell her that I did all of this behind your back, and you had no idea what I was up to.

Chloe: It’s too late. I already confessed that I knew about everything. So, um, I appreciate the offer.

Sally: Well, I mean, if there’s anything at all that i can do, I will do it.

Lauren: Oh, I think you’ve done more than enough already. Feeling stressed in your skin?

“The young and the restless”

will continuE.

Sally: You’re mad. I get that.

Lauren: You proved me wrong. When you schemed to get summer out of the country…

[Sighs] I had to fire you. And I actually thought that you would respect me, even after that. But you proved me wrong even then! You are just conniving and self-serving.

Sally: I had to rebuild my image and my reputation.

Lauren: Oh, my god. You have a very funny way of showing that. Going to italy? Stealing my designer’s dress and replacing it with yours right before the ceremony? Employing the same tactics that tarnished your reputation in the very beginning?

Sally: I think you have some facts wrong. I did not steal your designer’s dress. I moved it. And victoria had the chance to decide which dress she wanted to wear.

Lauren: And this is your defense?

Sally: Okay, look. I-I really don’t expect you to understand.

Lauren: Yeah? You know what the problem is? I actually do understand. You love to give these big speeches, proving yourself to everyone in your life. But the truth of the matter is, you’re just interested in your own success. You’re going to alienate everyone, everyone here, and it’s going to happen, sooner rather than later. This is a much smaller town than los angeles. And when you realize the best thing that you could do is leave, I won’t shed a tear.

Sally: Okay. Well, I guess nothing I say will change how you feel right now. So, I can just hope that one day you will see me in a different light.

Chloe: Are you done with me, too? Or do I still have a chance to repair things between us?

Devon: Alright, man. Well, this all looks good. So, I will — I’ll tell nick about our progress, and we’ll take it from there.

Adam: Great.

Devon: Yeah.

Adam: Well, thank you for taking the time, devon.

Devon: Absolutely.

Adam: I, um, I hadn’t realized how much I miss running into you, when we were neighbors.

Devon: Well, the building isn’t the same without you. I’ll tell you that.

[ Both chuckle ]

Adam: Well, I’d walk out with you, but I have another meeting in a half-hour.

Devon: That’s fine. Not a problem. That’s plenty of time for you to call chelsea back and smooth things over.

Adam: What? You want me to call her back, so she can keep yelling at me?

Devon: No, no. I want you to make things right so that feelings don’t fester, and then it’s ten times worse the next time you talk to her.

Adam: [ Sighs ]

Devon: You know?

Adam: You’re right. Of course. I just don’t know why I’m the one that has to extend an olive branch.

Devon: Well, I mean, if you think about it, man, you’re the one that gets to go home to your son every day. She’s hundreds of miles away, missing him and feeling left out. So, you know, take the high road because you can afford to be generous. See ya.

Adam: See ya.

Mariah: I loved being able to provide milk for dominic. It made me feel like I had a unique role in his life. And it’s hard to hear that, you know, it’s no longer needed. But I understand.

Abby: You do?

Mariah: Before all this, I — I used to think that I was incredibly smart and savvy, always one step ahead. But…I did not realize how intense this would be. And I need to get back to myself. You know? That’s one of the other reasons why I didn’t go to italy. I didn’t want to be out there, celebrating with everybody and putting on a smile when I just wasn’t in the mood.

Abby: And tessa was okay with you not going to the wedding?

Mariah: Well, she wasn’t thrilled that I opted out. But I needed time for myself. I needed a routine and structure and to do some deep, deep reflection.

Abby: And did you come up with any big conclusions?

Mariah: I did.

The best kept skincare secret?

[ Doorbell rings ]

Abby: Hold that thought one second.

Devon: Hey.

Abby: Hi!

Devon: I just wanted to come and see if you’re feeling any better because I felt bad I had to run off to that meeting.

Abby: Well, thank you. That’s very sweet. I am. I was. I hope I still am. Come on in. Mariah’s here.

Devon: Oh, really? Hey.

Mariah: Hi!

Devon: It’s good to see you. Am I interrupting anything, or…

Mariah: No, no, not at all. In fact, you should all be here for this.

Devon: Okay.

Mariah: So, I just wanted to say that I love you both. And you’ve been incredible through this whole ordeal. You know, we all have a bond bringing dominic into this world, and it’s one that I’m gonna cherish forever. I-I know that you’ve been worried about me lately. And I’ve been struggling with my role in dominic’s life. I’M…I’m having a hard time letting go. I’ll admit that. It’s just been hard, you know, sorting through all of this jumble of emotions, especially for somebody who doesn’t like dealing with messy emotions. But I’m working on it. And I just hope that you both believe me when I say that I am doing much, much better now.

Abby: Well, I am happy and relieved that you’re feeling better.

Devon: Yeah, so am I. You seem a lot more happy. You seem a lot more calm.

Abby: There was a wall between us that I never wanted. And when I walked in and saw you reading to dominic, I was thrilled, because I want you to have an important role in his life, a big role, but only when you’re ready for it.

Mariah: I’m ready. I am. And I want us to take that step together.

Devon: Absolutely. We’re still the baby chancellor crew, right? Or you know what? We should probably call ourselves the baby dominic crew now.

Abby: Ah, I love the sound of that.

Devon: Yeah?

Abby: Mm-hmm.

Devon: Think so.

Adam: [ Exhales ] Hey, chelsea. Look. I know you were not planning to hear from me again so soon, but I needed to tell you that I was wrong earlier. And I should not have made that decision without you. And from now on, when situations like that come up, I will not make them without talking to you. I know. I mean, if we’re gonna co-parent like this, we need to be able to talk to each other no matter where we are. So, um, how’s your mom doing? Okay. Do you have any idea when you’re gonna be able to leave her on her own and come back to genoa city? Okay, well, if you want to come back, I don’t understand the hesitation, chelsea. Okay, that’s not what I’m saying, but, but —

Sally: Hey. Are you alright?

Adam: The mother of my son just hung up on me. But besides that, I am fine.

Sally: Are you sure? Because you seem upset.

Adam: I said that I was fine. So, you can take my word for it. Now, please, tell me. What do you want? We’re eating and drinking foods and beverages

Lauren: Look. Um, I think I was a little harsh on you yesterday. It’s just that I was so angry.

Chloe: You had every right to be. I am so sorry.

Lauren: And I accept your apology. What you did was misguided. It was not vicious and conniving. You are on a completely different level from sally.

Chloe: Well, you made it pretty clear that you have no plans to forgive her.

Lauren: I say this out of love. Cut her loose. Do not continue to work with her. She will betray you, too, and you will end up in the exact same position I am — stabbed in the back.

Adam: Sally, look. I’m sorry. Alright? I’m sorry. I’m dealing with a lot today, with work and with chelsea. Will you please sit down? Please? Tell me why you came by.

Sally: [ Sighs ] I had a run-in with lauren. She’s furious that victoria wore my dress instead of the one from fenmore’S.

Adam: Well, I’m sorry you had to go through that.

Sally: I just figured you should know. And I also — I just kind of wanted a friendly ear.

Adam: Well, don’t worry about it. You don’t work for lauren. And victoria made her own decision about the dress.

Sally: But it still didn’t feel good to be told off by someone whose opinion matters to me.

Adam: Trust me. I have been there and done that more times than I can count. Don’t beat yourself up about it. It’s not like you committed some great crime against lauren. You’re in a competitive business, okay? You won this round. She may win the next. I mean, does that help put it in perspective?

Sally: Yeah. It does. I wish I could reciprocate and, you know, do something to make you feel better.

Adam: A productive, profitable day would make me feel better. Or at least it would distract me. I’m gonna walk into this restaurant and go to my meeting. I’ll see you later.

Sally: Yeah. See you around.

Devon: It seems like mariah is really finding her footing.

Abby: Yeah. She’s on a better, healthier path.

Devon: Yeah. Makes me happy to see that she put you in a better mood.

Abby: Well, like you said, my friends and family will always be there for me, and that goes both ways. I woke up this morning feeling blue, and then I saw you and mariah, and it turned my whole day around.

Devon: Yeah? That’s all it took? Are you sure you’re okay?

Abby: Yeah, yeah. So, you don’t have to stick around here and be my cheerleader anymore.

Devon: Oh, I don’t mind doing that, but I feel like you’re kicking me out. Is that what’s happening?

Abby: I’m never kicking you out, but I’m sure you have a hundred things to be doing.

Devon: Ah, not quite a hundred, but…

Abby: See? Look. I would love nothing more than for you to hang out with me and dominic all afternoon, but that’s not necessary. I’m okay.

Devon: Well, I am still gonna come back and check up on you. You can count on that. You can count on me. Okay?

Abby: Devon?

Devon: Yeah?

Abby: Thank you.

Devon: Of course. I’ll see you.

[ Door opens, closes ]

Abby: Chance, where are you? When are you coming home?

[ Sighs ]

Tessa’s voice: Something from tuscany to give you a taste of the beauty of the land and the romance of the wedding. There was so much love in the air, but there was a little something missing for me because you weren’t there to share it. This gift is my way of making up for that.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ]

Tessa’s voice: Okay, I bought it at the airport on the way out of town. I didn’t have time to do much shopping, but I thought of you constantly, and I missed you so much. I love you. Tessa.

Tessa: Hi!

Mariah: Hi. And welcome home.

Tessa: Oh, thank you. Oh, did you get your present?

Mariah: I did. It was very, very thoughtful.

[ Both laugh ]

Tessa: It was either that or some playing cards with the italian flag on it.

Mariah: Well, you made the right choice. I’m sorry I wasn’t here when you got home. Thought your flight got in later.

Tessa: Oh, it’s okay. It landed early. Oh, I missed you so much.

Mariah: I missed you, too.

Tessa: We’ve got a lot to talk about.

Mariah: Yes, we do. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, and I’ve made some important decisions.

Tessa: Like what?

Mariah: Later, okay? We’ll talk later. For now, sleep.

Tessa: Okay. I’m pretty tired.

Mariah: Yes. Yes, you are.

Nikki: Well, I trust the newlyweds had a good night after all the festivities.

Victoria: Oh, yes, couldn’t have asked for anything more. But now it’s all over and everybody’s heading home.

Ashland: Saying goodbye to harrison was a lot harder than i thought it would be.

Victoria: He has grown so much and so quickly.

Ashland: Yeah, I can’t believe how excited he was to get back to his new life in milan. He seemed sincerely happy with summer and kyle.

Nikki: Well, I’m so glad they could all be here.

Victor: Well, I must say, families coming together on occasions like this makes it all worthwhile, doesn’t it?

Victoria: It was perfect, and I have you and mom to thank for that. It couldn’t have happened without you. It was such a magical time for both of us.

Ashland: Couldn’t agree more.

Victor: Now, your mother deserves the lion’s share of the praise. I just kept the wolves at bay.

Victoria: Well, from what i hear, that was no small effort.

Nikki: I’m just glad that billy and that gaines fellow were prevented from ruining your big day.

Victor: I’m gonna get some more juice. Excuse me.

Victoria: Daddy.

Victor: Yes.

Victoria: You know, I meant what I said. I appreciate everything you did to make sure that my wedding went very smoothly, but today’s a new day and I want to know the whole story.

Victor: Nothing to worry about. It’s all been handled.

Victoria: That man, he was hell-bent on getting revenge on my husband, so I need to know exactly how he was handled and if he’ll need to be handled again.

Lily: Hey. You’re awake already? What’s wrong? You didn’t sleep well?

Billy: [ Sighs ] I didn’t sleep at all. After you fell asleep, I went for a walk. And I ran into victor.

Lily: Oh, god, what happened?

Billy: Let’s just say playtime is over. Time to man the battle stations. The old man has openly declared war on me and chanccomm.

Lily: [ Sighs ]

Chloe: I can’t believe it. Sally pulled off the fashion coup of the decade.

Kevin: Congratulations. You were right to sign off on her plan. This is going to put newman media’s fashion platform on the map. Hey, lauren, michael, check the —

Lauren: I tried to warn you, chloe. Sally spectra cannot be trusted. Have you seen what she’s done now? She’s back to her old tricks, showing no loyalty to her new bosses at newman media. She cares about no one — no one but herself.

[ Sighs ]

Sally: Morning.

Adam: Nothing like waking up under the beautiful tuscan sky. Hope you slept well.

Sally: Well, I got a lot more rest than I would’ve if we were to have spent the night together.

Phyllis: Oh. Wow, okay, you’re packing. You can’t wait to get out of here.

Nick: Yeah, sorry if I woke you up.

Phyllis: Uh, no. But, I mean, I’m glad you did because I guess I have to get up and pack. When are we heading out?

Nick: Yeah, uh, change of plans. I’m not going back to genoa city.

Chloe: Lauren, slow down. Exactly what have you heard?

Michael: I made the innocent mistake of showing lauren a photo someone posted from the wedding. I had no idea it would set off this firestorm.

Lauren: Yes, well, my designer designed the most beautiful wedding dress for victoria — one shoulder, with pleating. It was incredible, except that wasn’t the wedding dress that victoria walked down the aisle in. And then I start seeing all this social media buzz, and ah! Sally spectra’s name starts popping up as designer.

Kevin: Huh. Imagine that.

Lauren: And I am so sorry that you’re having to deal with this so soon in your new position, but I did warn you about that woman.

Chloe: Yes, yes, that is true, but I can’t exactly be mad at sally for this.

Lauren: You would put up with that kind of behavior from an employee?

Chloe: Well, I kind of have to put up with it because i already knew what she was planning.

Lauren: You were in on it?

Sally: Jack. I was just thanking adam for bringing me here. This crazy trip really paid off. I know you made it clear last night that you weren’t impressed, but getting victoria to wear that wedding dress was a major coup.

Jack: I don’t think that’s any of my business.

Sally: Okay, well, guess i better finish packing. I’ll be ready for our flight home whenever you are.

Adam: I hope you know that sally is and has always been just a friend.

Jack: You don’t owe me any explanation.

Adam: Well, I don’t know where things stand between you two right now, but if you’re interested, I’m not standing in your way.

Jack: Oh, that ship sailed long ago. But I get the distinct sense there’s something going on between you two, so a word of caution — stop kidding yourself. Be careful. Remember what they said about playing with fire.

Victor: Let me just say we just neutralized the threat, okay?

Victoria: Well, I guess you had no choice but to go to those lengths. I just want you to know that we both really appreciate what you did.

Victor: Well, there’s someone else you should express your gratitude to.

Victoria: I’ve already thanked mom. I know, she’s been very supportive through all of this.

Victor: No, that’s not who I’m talking about. It may surprise you to learn that adam had a lot to do with keeping this event from becoming a disaster.

Victoria: You’re right. I am surprised.

Victor: Adam saved your wedding.

Phyllis: I mean, I know you’re having issues with your family, but don’t tell me you’re moving to milan with summer and never coming back to genoa city.

Nick: No, it’s nothing like that. Of course I’ll be coming back home, you know, at some point. I’m just gonna go spend a few days in the uk with noah.

Phyllis: Okay, that sounds great.

Nick: Yeah, he needed to get to london, so I chartered us a jet.

Phyllis: So I’m going back home to genoa city by myself. Okay.

Nick: Uh, i mean, you could come with us, if you want.

Phyllis: If I want. No, it’s — it’s — it’s fine. I have to get back to work, you know? It’s really busy at the hotel, and sort of hands-on — my hands in particular.

Nick: Yeah, I can see why you got to get back home. Honestly, I’m looking forward to some extra time with noah, but I’ll be home soon, I promise.

Phyllis: What? Are we okay?

Nick: [ Sighs ] Did you know some deodorants may not last all day?

Nick: What are you talking about? Of course we’re — we’re fine. I just — you know, I got a lot to sort out in my head, and spending some time with noah, getting away from the newman steamroller that I like to call my family will do me some good.

Phyllis: Well, I agree. That’s great that you’re spending time with your son. You should do that, definitely. But as far as we go, I just felt like something has been off, even before this whole london thing.

Nick: Like what?

Phyllis: I don’t know, i can’t put my finger on it. It’s just sort of added tension between us.

[ Sighs ] Jack called me crazy for even thinking that way, but…

Nick: You talked to jack about this?

Phyllis: Yeah, I did. And he said I was wrong, and i don’t agree with him anyway, I just think that we’re at a — a place in our relationship that’s sort of… tricky, you know? Either it’s gonna go forward, it’s gonna work out, or everything is gonna fall apart.

Nick: Come on. I think you’re being too dramatic. We’re not falling apart.

Phyllis: Okay.

Nick: It’s just a complicated, frustrating couple of weeks for me. Alright, that’s not on you. Like I told my dad, no good deed goes unpunished. And it doesn’t matter how many times I’ve been through this, the lesson never seems to sink in. And this time has to be different.

Lily: Look, I’m not surprised by victor’s threat. I mean, even though adam said no battle lines are being drawn, you know, victor’s been dying to come after chanccomm.

Billy: This was different. It was like the timer’s about to go off on his ongoing game of intimidation and he’s about ready to hit the ignition button.

Lily: Okay, well, victor is the master at these kind of ploys, alright? Maybe he’s just trying to raise the threat level to throw you off your game. I mean, look, he has you so rattled, you can’t even sleep.

Billy: I’m not intimidated. Freshly motivated to be prepared. And we need to go through all the scenarios because when they come after us, we need to defend against them.

Lily: Well, I bet you’ll think twice the next time you consider bringing a blackmailer to a destination wedding. Okay, what are you looking for?

Billy: Gaines said that if we didn’t publish the video exposing ashland’s crimes, he was going to do it. And if he follows through on his threat, victoria’s honeymoon will be over before it even begins.

Adam: So, how did it feel waking up as newlyweds?

Ashland: Unbelievable. I think I’m more in love and happier today than I was before the wedding.

Victoria: I didn’t think it was possible, but I am, too.

Adam: Well, thank you again for including me.

Victor: You know, seeing the two of you put your differences aside makes me very happy.

Nikki: Well, weddings bring out the best in people.

Victoria: Adam, I understand that I owe you my gratitude.

Adam: Mm. What makes you think that?

Victoria: Well, apparently you saved my wedding.

Adam: Mm. I was just trying to fit into the family. Families look out for each other, right?

Victoria: I guess you might be right about that.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Well, look at us, we’re acting civilly and thinking of each other. What is to become of the world?

Victor: Well, maybe there’s hope for the newman family unity yet. Right, my darling?

If you have this…

Phyllis: You know, I want to agree with you when you talk about your family and your assessment toward your family. I want to, but you take issue with it.

Nick: Right. Uh, again, I’m sorry about that. The issue is not with you, okay? I’m just dealing with some very complex feelings about my family right now.

Phyllis: I know. I know you are. I don’t want to create drama. I don’T. I just want to help you.

Nick: Did you, uh, go to jack about that, too, you know, for advice? Did, uh — was it awkward for him at all?

Phyllis: Jack is a confidant. I mean, I trust him. He just wants me to be happy. He wants — he really wants us to be happy.

Nick: You think he’s the best person to go to?

Phyllis: Okay, well, i couldn’t find you, and I just had to vent to somebody and he was there. You know, I was outnumbered by newmans.

[ Chuckles ] No offense.

[ Knock on door ]

Noah: Hey, you two.

Nick: Hey.

Noah: Got my bags packed, ready to go. Family’s downstairs. Guess we should go say some goodbyes, yeah?

Nick: I think it’s best if we just take off.

Noah: Yeah, dad, I hate that you feel this way about victoria and grandpa, but I get where it’s coming from.

Nick: Glad you understand.

Noah: Phyllis, you gonna fly out with us?

Phyllis: Uh, no. I love london. I’d love to go, but I have to get back to the hotel.

Nick: Well, I’m definitely ready to take off.

Noah: I still want to say some goodbyes. You know, and there is someone you should at least let know that you’re leaving.

Chloe: I knew this was going to come up sooner or later. I was just hoping for later.

Lauren: You owe me an explanation, and now.

Chloe: Here’s the thing. I didn’t know that sally’s plan would actually work. Somehow she got it into her head that she could design the most perfect dress for victoria’s wedding.

Lauren: You know what the problem with that is? She had already hired my top designer for the job.

Chloe: I know, and no offense to the original dress or the designer, she just had this vision, and so she made a bold attempt to pitch her own dress. And of course, victoria wouldn’t even meet with her.

Lauren: Well, of course she wouldn’t, after what she did to summer, victoria’s niece.

Chloe: No, exactly, so sally went a little extreme and she decided to have the dress made on her own, intending to show victoria the dress before she left for the wedding, but then victoria decided to leave early for italy, so sally decided to follow her there.

Lauren: And you didn’t try and stop her?

Chloe: No, I told her that it was a bad idea, but I mean, there was just no stopping her once her mind is made up. And I guess she somehow got to victoria and convinced her to wear her design. Victoria must have just been blown away by the dress.

Michael: Oh, oh, what do you know?

Kevin: Well, look, sally’s got guts. You have to at least give her credit for that.

Michael: It’s kind of an amusing twist.

Lauren: Is it? Is it amusing? Because, you know, the part that I don’t find amusing is the fact that you’re glossing over a very salient point.

Chloe: And what point is that?

Lauren: You betrayed me.

Jack: Wow, you look as bad as I feel.

Phyllis: Oh. What’s bringing you down?

Jack: I’m just sad to be leaving this beautiful country.

Phyllis: Really? Well, this beautiful country has lost a little bit of its magic for me. Do you have room in the jabot jet? Because it looks like I’m flying solo back to genoa city.

Jack: Well, of course you’re welcome to join me on the jet, but I hope this change of travel plans doesn’t mean things got worse between you and nick. On the outside, I looked fine.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Victoria: No, I swear, I had no idea who was standing where. I just turned my back and i tossed the bouquet.

Ashland: Leslie brooks looked as if she had a hot potato in her hands.

Victoria: I thought for a minute she was gonna throw it back.

[ Laughter ]

Nikki: She was lucky that sally spectra wasn’t standing closer to her because that woman would’ve knocked her to the ground to get that bouquet.

Victor: Noah, come join us.

Noah: I’d like to, grandpa, but I actually got to get going. I just want to say goodbye to everyone.

Nikki: Oh.

Victoria: So soon?

Noah: I’m sorry, I got to get back to london, but congratulations again to both of you, really.

Ashland: Thank you.

Noah: Before I go, can I talk to you?

Nikki: Oh, yeah, sure.

Noah: I just wanted to let you know that dad and I are leaving together. He didn’t want to stir things up again by saying bye to auntie vick or grandpa.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] That makes me so sad. I wish he could patch things up.

Noah: He does want to say bye to you, though.

Nikki: Well, good, because i want to see him, too. Thank you, honey. I’ll be right back. Hold on.

Noah: So, adam, I was pleasantly surprised you didn’t wreak any of your usual havoc.

Adam: Well, sometimes havoc can be overrated. Besides, I like to keep people on their toes.

[ Knock on door ]

Nikki: Nicholas?

Nick: Hey, mom.

Nikki: Hey.

Nick: Well, I sure hope you had a good time and a very safe trip home.

Nikki: Okay, let’s not ignore the elephant in the room. I know you’re very upset with your father. I have no idea where things stand between you and victoria, but I really hate to see this rift in the family.

Nick: Yeah, me too.

Nikki: You missed the ceremony, and now noah tells me that you feel like just slipping away without saying goodbye to anybody.

Nick: Well, mom, with the way things are, it’s for the best. I can’t imagine any encounter not turning into an argument or into something negative.

Nikki: You don’t know that.

Nick: Mom, I just want victoria to have happy memories of her wedding trip, okay? There doesn’t need to be any more harsh words between us.

Nikki: What about your father?

Nick: Well, you know my issues with him. They’re nothing new. I’m just at the end of my rope with him.

Nikki: But, nicholas, you can’t just write him off.

Nick: I cannot stand the way he is constantly pitting the kids against each other. I’m over it. As far as vick is concerned, she’s made her stance, and i don’t know if we’re gonna be able to fix things. I don’t know if we’ll ever be able to do that.

Nikki: Nicholas, of course you can. I mean, we’ve been through much worse than this and have always been able to get past it.

Nick: I love your optimism, but I’m not the one you need to convince.

Lily: Nope, nothing. Nothing about gaines’ video or ashland’s past, just coverage of the wedding.

Billy: I don’t get it. I mean, it really doesn’t make any sense to me. Why would he change his mind after he threatened us to publish the story on his own? He is a man set on revenge. So much so that he gave us a ticking clock deadline.

Lily: Well, you heard what ashland said. I mean, gaines backed down.

Billy: I take anything ashland says with a grain of salt.

Lily: Okay, well, I’m just happy that we didn’t post that story, so now we can just forget about it and move on.

Billy: I’m not so sure about that. If we would’ve posted that story, at least we would’ve controlled the narrative.

Lily: Okay, well, there’s 1,000 reasons not to. One of them is that you deleted the evidence.

Billy: Oh, well, there’s a lot more evidence where that comes from, and we know that it’s true because he admitted it himself.

Lily: Okay, what about the most important reason, that you could permanently damage the relationship with the mother of your children?

Billy: I know. There is a lot to consider, and I think I need a little bit of fresh italian air. Gonna go for a walk, find some clarity on the situation.

Lily: Okay.

Sally: Safe travels.

Noah: Thanks.

Sally: Where’s phyllis, waiting in the car? Have you smushed her into one of your bags?

Nick: Phyllis is flying separately.

Sally: Oh, that’s a shame. Hopefully there’s not trouble in paradise. She didn’t dump a bucket of ice on you, too, did she?

Adam: You guys taking off? Well, safe travels. Sally and I, we’re gonna be heading out soon.

Victor: If you all don’t mind, I would like a word with nicholas alone.

Lauren: Chloe, I just cannot believe that you would condone sally doing something so underhanded. That woman has been nothing but trouble since she stepped foot in this town.

Michael: I don’t think anyone at this table can throw stones when it comes to underhanded behavior.

Lauren: Yes, yes, I know that, and some of us have lived to regret that. Sally regrets nothing.

Chloe: I hope you’re not implying that I am like sally, because I never did anything underhanded. First of all, I had no idea that victoria was going to wear the dress. I thought it was a long shot. I just assumed it was never going to happen, but it did. And I can’t say that I’m sorry for that.

Lauren: Ah, so you’re fine with her stabbing me in the back.

Chloe: [ Sighs ] Lauren, I’m trying to run a business. And of all people, I would hope that you would understand that. Victoria wearing sally’s dress could make newman media’s fashion division a household name.

Lauren: And that justifies not telling me, a trusted family member? Oh, and not to mention fenmore’s takes a hit.

Chloe: Could you please just try to see this from my side?

Lauren: [ Sighs ]

Chloe: Nothing is going to happen to your business or your legacy. Fenmore’s is already a hallowed institution, and your designer is going to make many beautiful dresses this year, but sally and I, we really, really needed this moment in the spotlight.

Lauren: You still should’ve told me what you and sally were up to.

Chloe: You’re right. You’re right, you’re right. I should’ve told you, and i messed up. And for that, I am sorry.

Lauren: You should be.

Michael: [ Clears throat ]

Chloe: I really blew it with lauren.

Kevin: Yep, you sure did.

Chloe: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: It’s fine, just nick wanted to go back to london with noah. He wanted to spend some time with him, you know, probably get away from his family. It’s fine, there’s no crisis between us. It’s good.

Jack: Good.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Jack: Glad to hear it.

Phyllis: Yeah, and I took your advice, I didn’t look for trouble. So everything is good between us.

Jack: Well, whatever the reason, I am happy to have the company on the trip home. It was going to be a long, lonely trip back to genoa city by myself. I already miss kyle and summer and harrison and…

Phyllis: So do I.

Nick: You know what, dad? Whatever it is you want to talk about, let’s do it at home. I don’t have time right now.

Victor: Son, I don’t want to leave things like this between us, okay? I’m sure you have a few minutes.

Nick: Well, you never should have let it get this far in the first place.

Adam: Sally, will you please excuse me? I need to have a private word with my dad.

Sally: Of course.

Victor: Sit down, son.

Adam: Look, nick will come around. He’s predictable that way.

Victor: I don’t want to talk about nicholas, okay? More pressing issues to deal with.

Adam: Okay. I’m game. What’s next on the agenda?

Victor: Billy boy abbott and chanccomm. When we get back home, we’re going to mount a full-scale attack on chanccomm. We will crush it, then pick up the pieces.

Adam: Mm-hmm, I know why you want to do this.

Victor: And don’t tell me this is the wrong time.

Adam: I just hope you’ve considered the potential ramifications.

Victor: That’s why I made the decision. Billy boy abbott almost ruined this wonderful wedding. He went after ashland locke for things ashland committed a lifetime ago. Ashland is now my son-in-law, and as such, he is a member of our family. Anyone attacks him, he attacks all of us. Now, if you’re a full-fledged member of our family, you will think of a line of attack.

Adam: I know that I’ve been opposed to this battle in the past, but it’s officially over.

Victor: That’s what I wanted to hear. This time, I want billy boy to know that we’re coming after him. In fact, I’ve already warned him.

Adam: Don’t worry. You can count on me 100%.

Itchy?

[ Cellphone rings ]

Sally: Hey, did you get the photos I sent?

Chloe: Yes. Congratulations. But I didn’t need to see your photos to know what happened. There are shots of victoria in your dress all over the internet.

Sally: Oh, my god, she looked stunning. Everybody just loved it. I swear I heard the whole room collectively gasp when she made her entrance.

Chloe: I got to give it to you, it was an amazing score, and not just for you but for our platform.

Sally: Well, even the haters had to admit how gorgeous she looked, and the photos did not do it justice.

Kevin: Tell her why you called.

Chloe: Uh, sally, um… there’s something I need to talk to you about.

Sally: Can we do it when i land? I have to go right now or I risk missing my ride, but I will call you as soon as we land.

Chloe: [ Sighs ] I chickened out.

Kevin: I know.

Chloe: I just — I couldn’t do it. She had to go, and I just didn’t have the heart to bring her down to earth by telling her that lauren is out for blood.

[ Sighs ]

Lauren: Can you believe the nerve of that woman? Who does she think she is? And more importantly, who does she think that she’s messing with? She’s not gonna get away with this, and chloe — ugh! Don’t even get me started on chloe.

Michael: Alright, alright, listen to me.

[ Clears throat ] You are not doing yourself any favors by rehashing this over and over.

Lauren: So you think I’m wrong to be upset about this.

Michael: No. But maybe you’re being a little too hard on chloe. She’s ambitious. She got carried away. She lost sight of things, but i don’t think she meant to hurt you.

Lauren: I get that, I do, and that’s why eventually I will forgive her. But sally, that is a different story altogether. It has been one catastrophe after another. What is it going to take to stop her? Because this is not going to end unless somebody does something.

Adam: Well, there you go. Maybe people are warming up to your charms.

Sally: To be honest, the only person that I am interested in winning over right now… is you.

Adam: [ Breathing heavily ] Sally, I can’t do this with you. I’m sorry. I can’T. I’m not — I’m not ready for this.

Sally: Ready for what? Look, I told you that I’m looking for any sort of commitment, okay? “What happens in tuscany” sort of thing. I won’t even flirt with you when we get back to the office, i swear.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] You must be on top of the world. Ready to head back, reap the glory of your big success?

Sally: More than readY. It’s just the beginning.

Phyllis: Hey. Hey.

Nick: Hi.

Phyllis: I thought you’d left.

Nick: Yeah, I wanted us to have a proper goodbye.

Phyllis: Alright. Well, you left so abruptly, i didn’t think it really mattered.

Nick: Can you please stop worrying and overthinking this, alright? I just need a couple days to work some stuff out. It’s gonna be fine.

Phyllis: Alright. Then can we go back to the happy, carefree couple that we’ve been?

Nick: Absolutely.

Phyllis: Alright. Have a good trip with your son.

Nick: Okay.

Lily: Hey. You have to start packing. We have to get going. But where were you anyway?

Billy: I just overheard victor and adam planning all-out war against chanccomm. Lily, they’re coming after us, fast and hard.

Lily: Yeah, well, victor already told you they were doing that, so did you hear what they were planning?

Billy: Only that they’re planning on throwing the full weight of the newman family against us.

Lily: That doesn’t sound good.

Billy: There’s only one way to protect ourselves.

Lily: What?

Billy: We need to strike first, because the best defense is a massive offense.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] It really was a glorious week, wasn’t it?

Ashland: It surpassed my high expectations.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Now we get to begin a new chapter of our lives. It’s time to get back to reality and all of the challenges that come with it. I’m ready.

Ashland: I am, too. Bring on the next round of treatments. And if they don’t work, I’ll find newer and stronger courses of action. Whatever it takes, because i want — no, i need more time with you.

Victoria: I think that’s the most beautiful thing that you’ve ever said to me.

Ashland: I am determined now that nothing — nothing — will get in our way or slow us down. Together, we are an unstoppable force to be reckoned with. Get ready. My new wife and I are about to conquer the world.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Donna was so excited to play with her…nephew. Wow, that’s weird. That is so strange.

[ Both laugh ] I’m surprised michael didn’t bring him by. He’s the one that set the whole thing up. Oh, he wanted to. He — he had an important meeting this morning. Okay, well, can you stay for some coffee? Uh, s-sure. I can stay for a while, yeah. It would actually be nice to talk. Oh, yeah? About anything in particular? Michael. And nina. It’s so great having you here, phyllis. I’m really glad that you’re giving yourself this time. Mm. Eventually, I’m gonna have to face nixon falls again and figure out what my life looks like without lenny. But a few more days away couldn’t hurt. When you go back to nixon falls, are you sure that you don’t want to rebuild the tan-o? The bar was my life with lenny. I don’t have the heart to do it without him. Then why go back? Why don’t you stay in port charles and let me help you?

[ Sighs ] Not hungry?

[ Sighs ] Just tired. I’m not surprised. You were tossing and turning all night. Sorry if I kept you up. It’s okay. Spencer’s your son. Of course you’re worried sick about him. He may not agree, ava, but he’s still just a kid. And he’s facing jail time. Yeah, for some pretty terrible crimes. I know, and I’m not suggesting that he should walk away with no consequences. It’s just — we offered him a way out. All he has to do is take it. Esme: Spence! Are you all right? Was it awful spending the night in jail? Uh, did you get any sleep? Yes, yes, and not much. Have you given any more thought to ava’s deal? There is no way that I will be beholden to ava jerome, okay? There has to be another option. Nicole diaz, the public defender assigned to your case. Nice to meet you, ms. Diaz.

[ Sighs ] Give me just one second to get up to speed. Mm-hmm. Phew. Mm. Right. I think we have a real shot here. In all likelihood, the judge will move to dismiss. Really? That’s amazing news. Well, no one actually saw you deface the garage, so it’s pretty open and shut. Garage? What are you talking about? Sparky carraway, destruction of private property. No, I’m spencer cassadine. Harassment and criminal mischief. Oops. Wrong file. Give me just one second. So, I’m, uh, expecting an update from candace about austin’s lawsuit, and I’ll let you know where we are once I talk to her. Mm-hmm. Well, there might not be a lawsuit anymore. What? Since when? I take it you didn’t hear about the brook lynn drama? No?

[ Sighs ] Oh, I thought you’d have been at the office by now. No, I chose to work at home today. Oh, well, I’ll leave you to it, then. Excuse me. Olivia? Wait. If we keep avoiding each other, how are we gonna fix things? I just need a little space right now.

[ Doorbell rings ] I’ll get it. Hey, sweetheart. Hi. Come on in. Is brook lynn home? I need to talk to her about austin. Does anybody want to fill me in on what brook lynn did? Brook lynn: What? Nobody else did? I gave us our best shot at keeping austin out of elq and this family.

[ Phone ringing in distance, indistinct conversations ] Dr. Gatlin-holt. Don’t shoot. You’re not sup– I know. I’m not supposed to be here, and I promise you that I won’t see any of my patients in person. I just wanted to make sure the ms. Patel was getting all of her fluids. Dr. Chen is covering your patients while you’re on suspension. Suspension. Right. All thanks to brook lynn’s games. I’m so sorry I couldn’t get you a high-profile attorney. It’s not your fault. I swear, I tried everything. Kevin refuses to help, and I can’t get in touch with your grandmother. I spoke to my trust manager, but he wouldn’t advance the money when he found out what the charges were. Uncle sonny. Thank god. You’re not here to help me, are you? Uh, yeah, I am, but you’re — you’re not gonna like how.

Mr. Corinthos, I’m so grateful that you came and that you didn’t abandon spence like everyone else. We’re gonna need a minute alone — spence and I. No, that’s okay. You don’t have to go. Talk to your uncle. I’ll be waiting outside. Um, I-I just want you to know how sorry I am for my part in the whole “nikolas and ava taking avery out of the country” misunderstanding. I’m very clear on, uh, you know, what you tried to do. I was trying to help. You have the wrong idea about esme. Yeah, apparently, I had the wrong idea about you. You want to go after ava, that’s up to you. Be my guest. But don’t you use… a child to do it. Especially… my child. It wasn’t me. I read brook lynn’s allegations. Pretty sensational, don’t you think? Are you saying she’s lying? Brook lynn is manipulating me. She claims to be concerned about leo, which should have been my first clue because that woman doesn’t care about anything but herself. Well, I’m afraid I have to disagree with you. Brook lynn has moments of selfishness, but, then, who doesn’t? But she cares very deeply for her family. Yeah, so deeply, she set me up.

[ Breathes deeply ] Loyalty is very big with the quartermaines. Do I always agree with the way they display it? Well… but there is a definite “us against them” mind-set. Okay. Are you included in all that? “Amendment to the trust of spencer cassadine.” Are you positive you want to do this? Whether or not spencer agrees to our conditions, placing you in charge of his trust — it sends the message that you and I are a united front. And that I’m not going anywhere. That’s right — not on my watch. And if I c ontrolspencer’s money, then he can’t ignore me. He can’t be so disrespectful. And I won’t be able to cave to him. Not that you would. I’d like to believe that I could stand firm, but I don’t trust myself. Part of the reason this is all happening now is because of all the times that I gave in to spencer when he was a child. Well, I’m happy to play “bad cop,” but spencer was pretty adamant that he wouldn’t buckle, remember? Well, this is happening whether he wants it to or not, and spencer doesn’t get a choice about accepting you as my wife. If he refuses, he’s basically sending himself to jail. Right, and spencer knows the terms. If he can actively support our marriage, then I won’t cooperate, I won’t testify against him, and the prosecution’s case is dead in the water. Which is extremely generous, given everything spencer put you through.

[ Sighs ] Do you think he’ll swallow his pride?

[ Sighs ] Well, for his sake and yours, I sure hope so. Sonny: What do you mean? You didn’t use avery to scare ava? No, I did. I just mean that I wasn’t myself. I became so focused on punishing ava, getting her out of my father’s life, that I went too far. What are the two rules? You never threaten children or your family. What? You never threaten children or your family! Avery’s both. You know I would never hurt her, uncle sonny. I don’t care if it’s implied or real. You crossed a line. I’m sorry. You know all these allegations against me. People think that I supposedly did crimes. Why do you think I’m — I’m — I’m still standing a free man? Diane miller? No. ‘Cause I have a code that I stick by, that I live by. When I’m going after somebody, I make sure I don’t get caught. You, on the other hand, are playing these little games. And you got yourself busted. So now you got to face the consequences. Wait, so hold on — so you — you tricked austin into breaking his patient-doctor confidentiality. You turned him in, and now you’re threatening his medical license unless he drops the claim on elq. Yes, and I don’t know why I’m getting so much static over it. I definitely would have used a different tactic. Yeah, a way less effective tactic, dad. Maxie: [ Sighs ] Okay, brook lynn, I’m not gonna tell you what to do — but you’re about to tell me what to do? No, I’m going to give you my opinion, which is that austin is genuinely a good guy…

[ Scoffs ] …And he legitimately cares about leo. Olivia: Wrong! Austin is not a good guy, and his opinions about leo are way off-base. Now, would I like to have him out of the family? Yes, I would. But I really would have preferred if he was caught running his mouth about literally anyone other than my son, because now this whole thing with leo is gonna be a great big deal. And leo is fine just the way he is. Would it really be that bad if austin got his share of the inheritance?

[ Sighs ] I mean, from what I can see, it looks like there’s more than enough money to go around. That’s not the point, maxie. The point, which I have said over and over again, is that my great-grandfather edward quartermaine purposely left jimmy lee holt out of his will. Okay? It doesn’t matter that he was thinking about reconsidering — none of those thoughts ever made it into an official document. None of those thoughts were ever signed or filed or probated, so austin is going after money that isn’t his. And to make things worse, he’s hiding behind some sob story about honoring the wishes of his late father when all he cares about is getting those shares. You’re awfully quiet over there. What do you think?

I heard you on the phone this morning. Were you checking on spencer?

[ Sighs ] I must have second-guessed myself a dozen times last night. I just couldn’t stand the thought of spencer in that cell. But he’s been coddled too long. Well, you know I agree. And I also understand, nikolas. Raising a son who lost his mother… it’s — it’s terribly complicated. Yeah, something I can relate to all too well. You just want to give your son all the love that you didn’t get from laura when you were a child, right?

[ Sighs ] But it shouldn’t have translated to giving him anything he wanted, but it did, which in turn led spencer to the dangerous impression that he’s the center of the universe. I have to do better. With you by my side, I will. I’ll see you at the arraignment. Yeah, of course, but wait — wait. Where are you going? Wait.

[ Sighs ] Monica, correct me if I’m wrong, but you do seem a little different from the quartermaines. More… yeah, I’m not — I’m not sure the word for it — sane.

[ Laughs ] Well, it has taken me years to find my place in that family. And not just as alan’s wife, but as me, as an individual. Because let’s face it — the quartermaines can be huge pains in the butt. Yeah, I’ve seen it many times. And especially when it comes to elq. That company is really family, in so many ways. Yeah, my dad saw that. He always said that he felt like a small-town hick by comparison. But he was edward’s son, and he deserves to be recognized, and if they want to play dirty, bring it on. Uh, did your father want you to be in business as opposed to medicine? My dad just wanted me to be happy. Are you? I was. Really, truly, before all this drama and infighting. Well, then, I have a question for you. If you knew how the quartermaines operate and you didn’t like the way they operate, why did you come knocking on our door? If you’re concerned about michael, I want to hear about it. Oh, I know. But after all the pain and heartache nina caused your family — hey, our family. You’re just as much a part of our family as anyone. Thank you. Yeah. I guess all I’m saying is I’d understand if you didn’t want to talk about her. Oh, well, I don’T. But nina’s not going anywhere, and, uh, I want to know what’s going on, so… is she hounding michael about wiley? Are you guys afraid she’s gonna do something? Actually, I’m more worried about what michael might do. I think that you used a smart strategy. Thank you. Finally, someone who sees some reason. Look, austin — he came at us, and you found where he was vulnerable. It’s better than us just railing at the guy. I mean, look, austin has a big ego. He gave his opinion on something that he has no authority to give his opinion on. That’s his weakness, and you — you targeted it. I mean, I’m — I’m impressed. Gold star for me. Oh, my god. I’m gonna check on leo.

[ Sighs ]

[ Doorbell rings ] I’ll get it.

[ Sighs ]

[ Birds chirping ] Have to admit, I didn’t expect you to come to the door yourself. Yeah, I don’t really, uh, stand on ceremony. I’m more interested in getting things done. I like the way you think. Nice to finally meet you, mr. Corinthos. Mm. Same here, mr. Sheridan. Thank you for making the trip from pennsylvania. Lenny and I settled in nixon falls because it was lenny’s hometown. Everything there reminds me of him. Yeah, I get it. But port charles has a lot to offer, and sonny’s here, and I’m sure he’d want you to stay, too. I wasn’t gonna bring him up, but now that you have, how did your talk go? Were you able to clear the air at all? I didn’t think you left anything unsaid when we ran into each other at the cemetery. Yeah, uh… yeah, I did, but then you surprised me. How so? You showed up at the quartermaines’. Carly saw you. You were visiting wiley. That didn’t make her happy. Oh, and you think that I’m afraid of carly? I thought you knew me better than that. You’re not going to be happy in port charles for very long. I know exactly where I stand with sonny. You got to understand something — I care enough about you that I want you to learn.

[ Scoffs ] I already know the lesson. People leave.

[ Sighs ] Your dad was wrong in making you think that he was dead, but there’s nothing you can do about that. You can’t change that. You know what you can change? Is how you move forward. So you need to stand up and decide who you want to be. What does that mean? Do you want to be the guy who owns his mistakes or do you want to be the guy who’s waiting for his father to write a check so he can be rescued? Yeah, except I don’t have that. God, I’m so stupid. Yo u know, I thought thatmy dad would side with me. That he loved me enough that, when push came to shove, he would pick me over ava. He didn’T. That hurts, right?

It’s a terrible thing when you — when a parent that you love is — is addicted to something and he — he chooses it over you. That’s what happened to — to my dad… god rest his soul. He loved me a lot and.. but he’d walk away anytime he could to bet on the horses. I know your — your dad’s not a gambler, but he’s addicted to ava. They think they’re in love. Yeah, right. And I-I know it’s heartbreaking when you can’t count on your father. It’S… but that’s the reality that you’re, uh, living in. And you know what? You violated the code. So I can’t bail you out. Not this time. What did you do to spencer? Well, I was just making sure that he was listening to some hard truths. Now it’s your turn. I thought you gave up on me. Would I be standing here if I’d given up on you? You tell me. You know, as the da of llantano county, it’s not often I make house calls to port charles. No, I bet not. But when I heard about your potential and sizable donation to my campaign… you deemed it worth a trip. I did. Tell me — what’s your interest in a pennsylvania election? Well, let’s talk in the den. For the record, I will be thrilled when austin is out of our lives. But…? But if he ends up getting fired… you’re worried about leo. Yes, I’m worried the message that he might be on the autism spectrum gets drowned out. And then what? And then what, what? You’re talking about leo, aren’t you?

[ Sighs ] You see, th– this is what I hate — all these little — little hush-hush, secret conversations about the non-problem that is my son. Why — why can’t you hear me on this, ned? I hear you. I just don’t agree with you. I think it’s time we talked divorce.

[ Doorbell rings ] Wait — what?

[ Door opens ]

[ Gasps ] Dad.

[ Scoffs ]

[ Sighs ] Oh, my god, just when I thought the day couldn’t get worse. Olivia, we need to talk about this. Hi. Hi. I have an answer for you. Michael is justifiably worried that nina will want to be in wiley’s life. And she will. Maybe. Probably, but she hasn’t come to us yet, and I just feel like why provoke the fight until we absolutely have to? How does michael feel? We talked it over, and he says he’s on the same page, but… I don’t know. I think he might be holding back. I think, in his heart of hearts, he wants to take action and make nina pay. As he should. I don’t disagree, carly. Okay? I am furious with nina. Part of me wants to haul off and slap her for showing up at the house for that last visit with wiley. I would have loved to have seen that.

[ Sighs ] When I think about all the lies she told — how she was there at sonny’s funeral, watching everyone grieve? It was hateful. But, carly, what good does it do to incite a big, ugly battle that won’t help anyone? Here’s the thing, willow. Just because nina hasn’t done anything yet doesn’t mean she won’T. Phyllis: Port charle s is lovely,don’t get me wrong, but what would I do here? Mm. Get a job at the hospital? Mnh, no. I enjoy being my own boss too much. Yeah. Ava: Woman after my own heart.

[ Chuckling ] Hi. Hi, nina. Hi. I’m nina’s friend. I’m ava cassadine. You — you must be phyllis? That’s me. Nice. Oh, it’s so nice — can I have a chair? It’s so nice to finally meet you. Mm. Uh, not a lot of people can say that they bossed sonny corinthos around.

[ Laughs ] It’s hard to imagine him as a busboy. Bartender. Whatever. Mike — sonny — was more than an employee. He was my friend. He still is.

[ Sighs ] That’s so nice. He’s lucky to have you. Mm. I am just fascinated by this other life in nixon falls. Ava here owns the jerome gallery and charlie’s pub. Oh, really? Yeah. For now, anyway. What do you mean by that? I put charlie’s on the market when I was planning to leave town. Oh, that’s right. Now she’s staying put. Yeah, staying put. But I’m just not sure if I’m gonna keep it. Have you been there, to the pub? Mnh-mnh, I haven’T. I hope you come by. I think you’d like it.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Cellphone rings ]

[ Gasps ] Excuse me. I need to take this. Oh, yeah. Phyllis caulfield… what are you doing?! I’m gathering information. For what?! I’m gonna ask sonny for joint custody of avery, and knowledge is power. No, no, no. You said that you weren’t going to take advantage of my relationship with mike. We just talked about this. Sorry about that. Oh, that’s okay.

[ Chuckling ] That’s okay. You know, ’cause ava here, she has to leave. She has someplace she really needs to be. Yes, I do. Hi — hi, sonny.

[ Breathes sharply ]

I would never give up on you, spencer. I know this is partially my fault, and I want to fix it. Fix it? As in I’m broken? Is that what ava told you? Is that why you threw me away? Stop blaming ava and take some damn responsibility! You know what she said to me? That you are giving her control of my trust fund. Open your eyes, father! See your wife for who she really is! How are you, phyllis? You like the city? It’s great, ain’t it? It’s a beautiful city. If you need anything, you just call me, and I mean anything. Thank you, sonny. Come on, ava. Okay. You alright? Yeah. I’ve accepted the fact that mike doesn’t exist and that I mean nothing to sonny corinthos. Well, that was a little awkward. Yeah, well, we’re here for avery. Yes, right, um… well, what I wanted to tell you is that while you were away, avery got used to seeing me every single day. Until you left her with carly. Yeah, well, I did that — I did that for her own protection. Well, I have no intention of keeping avery from you. You don’t? No. The visitation rights as they are — it’s perfect. No? No, I don’t think that’s what’s best for our daughter any longer. I want to revisit the arrangement…

[ Scoffs ] …And I’d like joint custody. Not gonna happen. Nina doesn’t respect boundaries or care about people’s feelings. I mean, the fact that she’s trying to rewrite the history of nelle proves that she’s not dealing in reality. She deals in her version of reality. Yeah, she’s desperate to believe that nelle was troubled or misunderstood, and had nina known the truth, she could have redeemed nelle. And she acts on those beliefs. I mean, it’s like telling wiley about his “real mother” or “defending her daughter.” It’s no different than believing that sonny was happier in nixon falls. And she acted on that belief. Yes, she did. Which makes me very concerned about wiley and about nina having a relationship with him. I know. Nina is going to continue to live her belief that nelle could have been better through wiley. She doesn’t get that her beliefs are just stories she keeps telling herself. And as far as I’m concerned, that makes her extremely dangerous. Yeah, I like your record on law and order. You know, your commitment to tackling hard cases in order to get justice. And if I’m elected as pennsylvania attorney general, I intend to build on that commitment. Unfortunately, the incumbent looks strong in the polls. Yeah, I saw that, which is, uh, why I reached out. I think our donation could get you through that final push. I’m grateful. I have big plans for my state. Yeah, about that. Um… I’d like to discuss one plan in particular. Well, we’re all very busy, austin. We don’t have all day. Yeah, I’m sure you’re all very busy. So, I spoke with monica earlier. Whoop-de-doo. It was a really nice conversation. It was. Zero posturing. It’s hard to imagine she’s part of your family. And she talked about that — she was talking about elq and how it’s difficult for you all to distinguish where the family ends and where the business begins. Hardly a revelation. Well, it made me realize something. Because… I want to be a part of this family. And then I realized that, if you are all incapable of separating your family from your business, then I don’t want anything to do with it. Zero, zilch. Hand me over the papers, and I’ll sign away my claim.

[ Sighs ] “I, austin gatlin-holt, hereby acknowledge the validity of edward quartermaine’s last will and testament in which jimmy lee holt of pautuck, new york, was denied any portion of edward’s estate. As jimmy lee holt’s son, I relinquish any possible claim to elq stock or assets,” et cetera, et cetera. Is this what you really want? I’m not sure, you know? What I — what I really wanted — and still want — is my father to get the recognition that he wanted so badly. But now I’m thinking that the price is just too high, and I’m not just talking about my medical career — I’m talking about my soul. Cue the violins. I didn’t know what I was walking into.

[ Chuckling ] I had no idea. There is no depth that you quartermaines won’t sink to. I don’t want anything to do with you. I am not one of you. I am not a quartermaine. Hallelujah! Here. You’re gonna need this.

[ Paper rustles ]

[ Pen scratching ] Everything you’re saying makes total sense — it really does. I just still feel that [Scoffs] Right now, at this moment, nina’s lying low, and it does not do wiley any good to poke the bear. Willow — I mean, carly, strategically, I-if we have all our defenses ready, nina is at the disadvantage. Right? So why not wait? Let her be the one to go to court and fight for visitation. Because you want to put the ball in nina’s court. Right, because when you target nina, you make her the victim, and she obviously has no problem seeing herself that way. But if you sit back and do nothing, she’s the one starting the fight. Is there a chance that you’re saying all this because, deep down, you’re the type of person who likes to fix things? You want everyone to get along? I’m sure that’s part of it. But isn’t michael like that, too? Uh — or am I wrong? Michael is kind… and…fair… and forgiving, but he’s also someone who can be pushed too far. And given the grief we endured and the risk I took by stepping in for sonny, and to think that it didn’t have to happen… nina may have pushed michael too far. I know exactly what ava said to you. She offered you a way out of the charges — out of this entire god-awful mess. But did you take it? No. There is no way that I will live my life under that woman’s thumb. She’s my wife, spencer. I love her. And all we are asking is for you to respect that. Never! Spence, I — I understand you’re upset, but I think you need to do what your dad and ava want. What? Esme, what are you talking about? You can’t stand her, either. I know, but at this rate, all you’re going to accomplish by trying to spite them is land yourself in jail. And then what? What happens to me? I think you’ll want to change your mind. I have custody of avery, and that’s that. Okay, listen, you’re right — avery is going through a rough time right now. I mean, she’s happy that she’s with her father, but she’s confused and she needs stability and assurance that her parents are gonna be there. Yeah, I-I agree completely. What are you saying? So I’m gonna give you more time with avery. Not on the court’s terms — on my terms. Family is just very important. She’s my sister and we depend on each other a lot. She’s the rock of the fami ly. She’s the person who holds everything together. It’s a battle, you know. I’m going to be there.

Are you sure you’re okay with this? It’s a lawsuit. It’s never gonna make me happy. Thank you so much for all of your support. Anytime. I’ll see you. See you. Good luck. And for what it’s worth…

[ Door opens ] …I think your patients are lucky to have you.

[ Door closes ] Here you go. I’ll get the door for you. How very kind. Isn’t it? You know, if you’re thinking that this is over, you’d be wrong about that. This is just the beginning. Sorry. I still think the guy’s got an ulterior motive. Olivia… you really didn’t mean what you said earlier. Don’t tell me what I mean. That’s it? Out of the blue, you want a divorce? You really think this is out of the blue? Yes! Ned, if we can’t even agree on what’s best for leo, what kind of marriage do we have?

[ Sighs ] There is still a chance that I could beat these charges and go free. With a lawyer who doesn’t even know your name? I am not the enemy, spencer. I never said that you were, father. This is happening… right now and in real time. Are you really willing to risk a criminal record and possible jail time just to dig in your heels?

[ Indistinct conversations in distance ] You know I’ll support you no matter what, but I can’t imagine losing you, spence.

[ Voice breaking ] I just can’T. I read your file — the right one this time. Could I please have a moment while I consult with my attorney?

[ Sighs ] Please think about what we talked about. Mm-hmm. I essentially just have one question. How do you want to plead? So you don’t think there’s anything to be said for keeping the peace? I do. But that’s not gonna happen here. You’re surrounded by very proactive people. Michael won’t do anything rash, where the blowback lands on wiley. But make no mistake — if michael’s put in a situation to act, my son will act. Well, thank you for the coffee. Anytime. Sheridan: I see a lot of potential here. So we can help each other? I look forward to it. I’m gonna treat myself to a stroll through the botanical gardens. Oh, I love the botanical gardens, especially the roses. How about I clear my schedule and I go with you? Well, that’s very kind, but [Breathes deeply] I’m looking forward to some time alone to just stroll and let my mind roam. Are you sure? You don’t need to worry about me, nina. I’ll be fine. I just need to figure out what comes next. You and me both.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Bye. Bye. Does that work for you? Yes, it does. Good. Well, thank you for acknowledging that — that avery needs her mother. Sonny, I think, um… nixon falls changed you. Well, you know, I always, uh — I always take care of my children. Right. Okay, well, I will write up the schedule, and, um, I’ll e-mail it, okay? Oh, hold on. We still have some unfinished business.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

hey, n’neka. So, um, that guest — he was really into live music, huh?

[ Scoffs ] Yes. Wouldn’t shut up about it. Hmm. I guess I’ll have to add more nights. Mm-hmm. I know how the guys here can get. He didn’t bother you or make you feel uncomfortable, did he?

[ Scoffs ] No, he was harmless. All right. Well, good. Because I want the savoy to be a safe place for anyone who comes in here. Including me? Uh, please tell mr. Sheridan to get back to me as soon as possible. Yeah, it’s about my family’s donation to his campaign. Thank you. “Donation”? Uh, yeah. Yeah, it’s, uh — it’s good business to donate to politicians across the country. Doesn’t necessarily influence them, but it does always get you a meeting. How did I end up with someone so smart? I mean, just lucky, I guess. I mean, you got brains and brawn and looks?

[ Exhales sharply ] He’s a triple threat, ladies and gentlemen.

[ Both chuckle ] Eh, who am I kidding? I’m the lucky one. Hi. Hi. You made it. I was starting to get worried. Yeah, I found the place eventually. No, I-I mean, I didn’t know if a dinner out was at the top of your list. You know, given that your medical license is on the line. Right. All thanks to brook lynn quartermaine. Thank you for agreeing to have dinner with me tonight.

[ Laughs ] Can you believe it’s been almost a year since we’ve been separated? I gu ess time flieswhen you’re not having any fun. Well, I think it’s important to make time for each other so we can figure out what comes next. Yeah. Unless you’ve already made up your mind? And working with finn to keep his brother alive was all-consuming, and it’s exactly what I needed. Not to mention, we made a pretty great team. You sure did. Spending all that time together — you got closer. It felt that way. It looked that way, too.

[ Sighs ] Roughing it has improved since I last went camping. I’ve never been so happy to get off the grid.

[ Gasps ] Oh. Wow, you really went above and beyond in nixon falls. The town was about to be stolen out from under everyone. And it wasn’T. Because of you. I’m just repaying the kindness that the community showed me. You were really invested in your life there. It’s the only life I knew. But now you’re home.

[ Inhales deeply ] I would have really loved… to have known mike.

[ Chuckles ] But he seems to look a lot like the man I already know.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Ah, man. Ooh. Sir, is everything okay? I-I was on my way to a volunteer committee meeting, and I got this pain in my side. I’m — I’m sure it’s nothing, but… what’s your name? Uh, marshall. Marshall. Yeah. I’m dr. Ashford, and I would feel a lot more comfortable if we could rule out anything serious. We’ll go this way and get you checked out. Uh, yeah. Nina. I didn’t expect another visit so soon. A lot has happened in the last few hours. N’neka, would you bring a bottle of the reserve? We’ll be over here. You don’t have to handhold me if you’ve got stuff to do. Um, well… I’m the boss. It’s called “delegating.”

[ Chuckles ] Well, thank you. Thank you, n’neka. You can leave the bottle. Sure. Delegating works really well for you. Maybe I should try it, huh, curtis? Enjoy. Although, working is a really great distraction from the complete and utter mess that I have made.

[ Sighs ] What happened? It’s everywhere. I have no right to expect carly to keep it to herself, but — I know, but it’s hard. It’s hard. I’m sorry. Uh, I should’ve knocked. I’ll come back. No, no, no, just wait. Wait, wait, wait. We — we just gotta get this out in the open. And…

[ Sighs ] It’s just a lot for me. Um… you know, you guys got married, and then y-y-you get — you have feel — whatever it is that you guys — look, sonny, sonny, everything that has happened between me and carly, it… it was based on something that wasn’t true, okay? And now — and now we know the truth. And I just — I can’t speak for carly. I just want things to go back to, you know, what we all had. Hey. Sonny, I feel same. I want the three of us the way we were — the way we’ve always been for 20 years. I get that you don’t want my past life crashing down on you. You don’t want to be hurt again. That’s why you came to nixon falls — to let go of your past. So you understand? Well, and I’m gonna do everything I can to prove to you that I do. I don’t know how I’m gonna do it… but I will… because I’m — I’m in love with you. The past is the past. We just gotta f-find a way to… move on. We will. We will, because the three of us have survived too much together to lose each other over nina’s lie. And if it helps… I’m about to leave town.

[ Knock on door ] There you are. I had a bunch of questions I wanted to run by you earlier, but I’m heading out, so I guess it’ll have to wait till tomorrow. Uh, you should run them by me now. I’m leaving the country. You’re joking, right? And I don’t know how long I’ll be gone. And I’m supposed to, what — hold down the fort while you go on vacation indefinitely? No way. We’re co-chiefs of staff last time I checked. Terry, listen to me. This is not a vacation, okay? This is about my mother.

[ Both laugh ] Just — I-I’m s– let me —

[ Laughs ] You — I’ll — uh — you — are you trying to — I-it’s okay. It’s okay.

[ Laughs ] I’m — I’m sorry about that. It’s all right. I’ll take the next one. All right. Um, I was just thinking — I was just wondering — sorry, you go. No, you — you first. I-I made you miss the elevator.

[ Laughs ] Okay. I just saw another flier for trivia night. Looks like teams are filling up fast. T-those are — are two-person teams, right? I think so. Uh-huh. Wanna sign up together? Yeah, that sounds like fun.

[ Chuckles ] And, yes, those words just came out of my mouth. Ah, I’m gonna make sure you find joy in something frivolous if it’s the last thing I do. You’re a brave woman.

[ Laughs ] Yes, I am. So, it’s a date. No, I didn’t mean it like — I didn’t mean like that. I mean, it’s not a date-date. It’s — y– what if it was?

Look at you — making moves, banking favors. Getting ready to take back control of elq? Eh, hopefully. Not that I’ll be the one steering the ship. Right. No? I thought we were on the same page, you know? Ned runs elq for the family, and I run aurora to preserve drew’s legacy and build something worthwhile for scout. No, no, I know. It’s just… that decision was made before your father came home. Before you found out what nina did to him. Now, knowing what you know, do you think you can really be nina’s boss? So, what happened in the last few hours? I saw sonny. Oh? Yeah, and it was awful. What, did he freak out? No, he was matter of fact, actually. Damn. That’s almost worse. Yeah, kind of. So, did the subject of wiley come up? Mm-hmm. His position is that my relationship with wiley is between michael and me, and he will not influence michael as long as I stay away from the family. Shouldn’t be too hard. You and sonny hardly know each other. So, where you going and for how long? I’m not sure. Just helping britt search for her mother. That’s generous of you. What happened to obrecht? Yeah, so, uh, obrecht and scott were on their way to the caribbean. Wait a minute. Obrecht and scott are an item? Uh, you’ve missed a lot in nine months. Apparently. Scott was ejected from the plane. Uh, he had a parachute. He’s fine. Obrecht was taken captive, and nobody’s heard from her. Who’s holding obrecht? There’s multiple players involved. But it all circles back… to peter august. I have a strong lead on what happened to my mother, and I need to explore it. And you’re not telling the authorities? I don’t trust them. But you trust me. Yeah.

[ Both laugh ] Wow, look at us. We’ve come a long way. Don’t worry about things here. I’ve got it covered. And if the board starts asking questions about where I am — I am a masterful question-dodger. Oh, good to know.

[ Both laugh ] Thank you. You’re welcome. I guess I’d better go before you change your mind. That would be wise.

[ Both laugh ] Good luck. Thank you. I’m gonna need it.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Telephone rings ] Chief randolph. Oh, my god. You know, we haven’t really had a chance to talk much about, um, what happened between us, you know? Um… my lips… almost touching your lips. No, we haven’T. No. In fact, I think we’ve done everything we can to avoid the subject. Mm-hmm. Which I guess that makes sense, right? I mean, there’s — there’s a lot of things that could get… complicated… in all this, right? I mean, there’s — there’s hayden. Me losing franco. Mm-hmm. But, you know, maybe there’s just as many reasons, if not more, to — to not avoid the subject. You know, maybe we stop acting like a couple of high-school kids and, you know, we take a chance and we — we see where this could go. I don’t know. I’m talking crazy, right? I-I… this is crazy. No. Sorry. My mood has nothing to do with you… or with us. What’s wrong?

[ Sighs ] Leo had his follow-up appointment with dr. Diamond today. It didn’t go well? I don’t like the guy. Dr. Diamond? Since when? Since he thinks there’s something wrong with my kid. He was suggesting that I make an appointment with a pediatric neurologist. You believe that? Yes, liv, I can. I should probably stay out of whatever drama is going on between you and brook lynn. Yeah, that’s probably a pretty good idea. But, you know, an objective observation. Yes? You have to wonder if it’s really all worth it. So much for staying out of it. Okay, no, look. I [Sighs] I get that y– fighting for your father’s birthright is really important to you. But if it means losing your ability to practice medicine, is that what jimmy lee would really want for you? You know, maxie… I mean, if I didn’t know any better, I might think that you’re way more invested in this little quartermaine squabble than you’re letting on.

[ Scoffs ]

“Invested”? Uh, no. Okay, maybe, like, the tiniest bit invested. But in the same way that I’m invested in if blake moynes gets the final rose on “the bachelorette.” You know, these corporate shenanigans make for great gossip in port charles. Okay, I gotcha. Okay. I don’t know about you, but i could definitely use a drink. Um, what do you say? Dirty martinis? Interested? Leo marches to his own drummer. So what? I don’t — I don’t think that’s a problem. It’s — it’s like my uncle mario. Guy didn’t talk till he was five years old — not a word. You know what happened to him? What? He became an artist. Creative people see the world differently, so they experience it differently. And I happen to think that that’s wonderful. I agree. Not every kid comes flying out of the womb like dante — all — all athletic and personable and ready to take everything that the world throws at them. That’s not what I’m suggesting. Not — not every kid is meant to be a social superstar. And I think when you start turning it into a problem and they see you wringing your hands over it, it does the child a real disservice. Maxie: Hi. Peter showed up in nixon falls? Hell, yes. I didn’t know who he was. I didn’t know who I was. But he — he said he was an author, that he was a friend and colleague of nina. Once I got my memory back, I was able to place him.

[ Sighs ] Well, peter, uh, threatened to kidnap nina’s nephew, james. And that’s why nina called obrecht, and obrecht’s plan was to bump peter off in st. Lucia. And then she disappeared. Right. Right? Yeah. You know what I don’t understand. Peter sees sonny, and he doesn’t say anything? He clearly knows who you are. So why didn’t peter use this to his advantage? Drew’s initial deal with jax is that jax buy the print media half of the company so that crimson belongs to him. And — and, yeah, the companies share the same name and occupy adjoining office space. But, look, my [Sighs] My side rarely interacts with crimson’S. But it’s still part of aurora. Look, all I’m saying is, no one would blame you for wanting to remove yourself. Shouldn’t nina be the one to remove herself? I didn’t do anything wrong. No, no. Of course you didn’T. That’s not — oh, I-I’m sorry. No, hey, don’t — don’t be. It’s — it’s — it’s — you’re right. It’s a complicated situation. Yeah.

[ Sighs ] You know, I, uh — I talked to avery earlier today. She is so confused, and I’m sure donna is, too. What did avery say? She asked me if grandpa mike’s gonna come home the same way that daddy did. And when I told her no, she just burst into tears. Oh, my god. That sounds awful. Yeah, it was. So, is that something you’ve thought about? Having nina removed? It crossed my mind, yeah. Reaching out to sam and — and making a case to force jax to push her out. But that wouldn’t solve the main issue. Nina’s presence in wiley’s life. Nina: You’re right. Sonny and I mean nothing to each other, so… no big loss. I just, you know — I want to move on with my life, curtis, but how? I want to make things right with phyllis, but how? It just seems like there’s no real answers to anything, and I hate it. I know. Is this gonna go on forever? No, it won’T. And take it from someone who’s made their fair share of mistakes and gone on to tell about it. God, I hate hospitals. The lights, the sounds, the [Scoffs] Smells. Interesting choice to volunteer here, then, isn’t it? Guess I’m a glutton for punishment.

[ Chuckles ] Hmm.

[ Monitor beeps ]

[ Sighs ] Blood pressure’s good. A little on the low side. Something to watch out for, but it wouldn’t be causing your abdominal pain. Mind if I take a listen? Hey, knock yourself out. Okay. Deep breath.

[ Inhales deeply ] Exhale.

[ Exhales slowly ] You look awfully young to be a doctor, if you don’t mind me saying. I don’t mind. And I just graduated med school a few months ago. Really? [ Chuckles ] Well, your — your parents must be awfully proud. My mom is. My dad passed away whe– it’s a long story. Hey, I’m sorry. Uh, you know, I get a little chatty when — when I’m nervous here in the hospital and all. Consider me an open book. All right. All right. Do you, uh — do you got a better half? I do. Ah. My partner, molly. Oh, “molly.”

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, I bet she tells all her girlfriends about her man, the doctor.

[ Laughs ] She is pretty impressive in her own right, but… nah, molly’s not like that. Ah. My uncle, on the other hand, will pull aside a complete stranger on the street and let them know that his nephew is an md. Your uncle sounds like a hoot. Tell me more about him.

Wow, look at this. Date night. Yeah, it must be really nice to just kick back and relax after a long day of sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong. Olivia, come on. N-no, it’s all right. It was not my place to say anything to anyone about leo. Well, you’re damn right, it wasn’t, but that didn’t stop you, did it? Huh? Anything to distract ned. You’ll use my son’s unique personality or chase’s broken heart. Why in the world would I trust anything you had to say? I’m gonna say this one more time. You stay the hell away from my kid.

[ Door slams ] Sounds like you come from a very tight-knit family. I hope you… I hope you know how lucky you are. I do. You hold on to that. You hold on to that for as long as you can. Sorry. No, it’s fine. Well, I don’t hear anything abnormal. Well [Chuckles] That’s a relief.

[ Both laugh ] Right? I’m going to ask one of the attending physicians to take a look, just in case I missed something. Uh-huh. Mm-hmm. Thorough. I-I like it. You okay to wait by yourself? It might take a minute to flag someone down. I’ll — I’ll be right here. All right.

[ Sighs ]

[ Door closes ] I appreciate you attempting to relate, but you, my wonderful friend, have never pulled a stunt like this. Maybe not, but there was a time that I went down a path that caused a lot of pain for people I care for… and for the people I served. Think about all those cases that I worked, that’ll never be tied up because I got my badge taken away. Curtis, you had an addiction. I made the conscious choice to do something wrong. They’re not the same. Not even close. Okay, well… how about this? I thought that I would spend the rest of my days paying for my sins from the worst chapter in my life. But you know what? I didn’T. My misdeeds, my transgressions are in the past. They’re behind me. And one day — probably sooner than you expect — yours will be, too. You know, I wish I could snap my fingers and this whole situation would just go away. We just declare that nina is forbidden from seeing wiley. Well, in order to do that, we’d have to take her to court. Is that what you want? Honestly, yes. If it means keeping that woman away from our son, then yes. Okay. Then I’m asking you to reconsider. Britt and scott kept hitting dead ends, and they asked for my help. So I had spinelli take a look at scott’s computer, and we realized that it’s been monitored from greece. Greece? Yeah. So, we went to see nikolas. Britt [Chuckles] Britt got nikolas to admit that there was a cassadine compound on the island of crete. Or, at least, there used to be. Well, that explains the cassadine connection. But, uh, you’ve said that… peter was behind all this. Yeah. Right? Peter and victor cassadine. Dead victor cassadine. Not so dead. And it makes sense, ’cause peter has always been close with the cassadines, especially helena.

[ Doorbell rings ] Don’t the guards, uh, call anymore? Yeah, they absolutely do. Ah, it’s britt. I told frank to let her up.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ] Hi, britt. Carly. Sonny. I hear you’re taking jason away from us. I think you might be right. I think maybe we should figure out what’s happening between the two of us. Biz, uh, do you have a second? Um, I mean, I-I guess, yeah. What — what’s up? Maybe we should have this conversation in private? No, no, no, it’s okay. It’s just — it’s just finn. Well, I can — unless it’s something terrible. Is it terrible? No, no, no. Nothing like that. And maybe I’m making a bigger deal out of it than I should. Just rip the band-aid off, chief. Somebody called asking about you. Who? Your father.

I obviously don’t speak for olivia. Does anybody speak for olivia? No.No. But after talking to another doctor, it appears there may be some merit to your concern about leo. Okay. But still, I should have kept my mouth shut. And if I had, then maybe your daughter wouldn’t be trying to get my medical license revoked. I’m sorry. What? Brook lynn has threatened to file a formal hipaa complaint unless I stop contesting edward’s will.

[ Scoffs ]

[ Clears throat ] Is this true? Unfortunately, yes. Okay, I had no idea that she would do that, and I wish she hadn’T. Um, because despite our legal battle, I believe in you as a doctor, and I know that you were only looking after leo’s best interest. Excuse me. My father called you?

[ Sighs ] Jeff mentioned he left a message on your voicemail when franco died, but you never called him back. Yeah, and he never called again, so what does that tell you? I guess he heard about my new position at G.H. And wanted to reach out. Why? To ask how you’re holding up. And you told him… that I wasn’t his go-between. If jeff wants to know how you’re doing, he needs to talk to you. Yeah, I asked jason for help. But, hey, this is your choice. You do not have to come. It’s already settled. I’m going. W-we’re happy to help, and for what it’s worth, I hope you find your mother. Well, it’s worth a lot. Thank you. I know she and I aren’t your favorite people — with good reason. No, look, it doesn’t matter what we think — it’s your mother. If you’re gonna do everything you can to find her, then… I hope you find her. Thank you.

[ Sighs ] Uh, I’m ready when you are. Yeah, just — I just need a minute. Okay, I’ll wait in the foyer. Okay. So, uh… are we — are we okay? I am in no way, shape, or form defending nina or her actions. What she did to your father is indefensible. But? But she’s already retreated with her tail between her legs. If I had to guess, it’ll be a long time before nina comes knocking on our door again. What, so we just let the whole thing slide? No, we let it lie for now. Because if we tell nina we won’t allow her to see wiley, what do you think will happen? She’ll contact a lawyer. Yes, and that lawyer will tell her that in the state of new york, grandparents do have rights. Michael, the fact is, nina has plenty of time and money to spend on a long, ugly court battle. A court battle that likely won’t go in our favor. Don’t let your emotions drag you into something that might actually work against us. It is not worth the risk.

[ Scoffs ] Thanks for talking me down. Any time.

[ Sighs ] So, who’s the smart one now, huh? We can share the title. I’m fine with that. Yeah, me, too. Okay, so, no court battle for wiley. No court battle for wiley. That’s definitely not the way to go. Nina: Thank you for the talk and breaking out the good stuff. You, my lovely friend, are on the list. That means nothing but the best for you. Mm, then one more reason to make this a regular thing, huh? Do you have time for one more? Or do you have to schmooze with the clientele? Ooh, no, I’m meeting tj. We’re gonna go to a midnight movie. Oh, that’s fun. Yeah, you’re more than welcome to roll with. My big plan is to sit right here. Mm, okay. Uh, n’neka, would you please make sure my lovely friend nina has everything she wants? You got it.

[ Chuckles ] Nina, remember what I said. I know it doesn’t seem like it right now… but soon, all of this will be behind you. Okay?

[ Smooches ] I can’t wait. Dr . Russo in cardiology saidhe could be here in… …10 minutes.

Olivia was right about one thing — you did use chase to further your own cause. And that’s not me judging you, okay? God knows I am no saint. Well, thank you for not judging me. You know what stinks about manipulation? You feel like crap afterwards. Also, nobody trusts you anymore. Okay, to be clear, what happened with michael and willow and chase — they’re consenting adults. It’s got nothing to do with me. But you’re right. I do feel like crap about what’s going on with leo. Yeah, I can tell it’s really bothering you. It is, because he needs help. And as long as we’re not judging people, I don’t blame olivia, but she’s just not listening. Maybe ned will? I’m sorry I stormed off like that. I understand.

[ Sighs ] Do you, ned? Really? Because, no offense… but, um, you just come from a different class. You know, e– your family always reacts like this. Something even begins to present as a problem, and you just start throwing money at it. Send the kid to a billion specialists. And my point is… maybe leo doesn’t need that. Maybe it’s not a problem. Maybe — maybe leo just needs to be his leo self and do his leo stuff in his leo world. Because — because you know what? He likes it there.

[ Sighs, chuckles ] Olivia… I get what you’re saying. I truly do. But hearing what another doctor has to say doesn’t mean you’re committing to anything or anyone. It’s just more information to have. But don’t you see, ned? That’s already calling it a problem… when I just see him as my son. And — and g-getting a m– bunch of specialists and making appointments, that’s just walking down a road that I don’t want to go down. But I do want to go — I want to go home.

[ Sighs ] Well, then, let’s get you home. Hey, um, are you okay? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m fine. I know, I know. But if you want to talk, I’m here. Oh, thank you. Thanks. The only thing I want to think about right now is taking home the gold on trivia night.

[ Elevator bell dings ] And I’m signing us up. Okay.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckles ] That sounded… intense. You don’t know the half of it. But anything more than that, you’ll have to hear from elizabeth. We’ve all been through a lot. And you guys know… how much you mean to me, so… can we just not bring this up again? Okay. I’m gonna — I’m gonna take off. Wait, wait. L-l-listen, watch your back, all right? ‘Cause peter august is bad news. Yeah, I’ll — I’ll — I’m gonna be careful. You always say that. I’ll do my best. A porsche. Buckle up. I’m driving.

[ Sighs ] How you feel? Like we’re one step closer to getting our life back. I’m so glad that everything is out in the open. Whatever we choose for wiley, we need to be sure that it’s the right decision. Because once it’s made, our son is the one who has to live with the consequences. I hear you. And I promise you, when it comes to visitation with nina, that’s a decision we’ll make together, okay?

[ Cellphone rings ]

[ Sighs ] I sh– I should take this. Yeah. Back to making moves, I see. Yeah. Well, I have studying to do, anyway. I love you. I love you.

[ Ringing continues ] Mr. Sheridan. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Yes, my family is still interested in donating to your campaign for pennsylvania attorney general. There’s just one wrinkle we’d like to iron out first. Yeah, we’re concerned about a-a crime in your jurisdiction that hasn’t been prosecuted yet. Yeah, it involves a woman… …named nina reeves. Can I get you anything else? No. Thank you, n’neka. I have to get back to my life. Eventually. Curtis: Hey, there you are. Tj, I hope you are properly excited and caffeinated for this movie. Yeah. Yeah, I’m looking forward to it. Is everything okay? I guess so. I was examining a patient, and I told him to wait while I grabbed a second opinion. But when I came back, he was gone. Well, maybe he, uh — maybe he felt better and took off. I’m sure he’ll be in touch if it’s anything serious. I hope so.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

What do you think? A string quartet? Harpist?

Abe: Mm–

Paulina: Oh, that’s not an answer, abraham.

Abe: Well, that’s my answer. Whatever it takes to make you happy.

Paulina: Aww. You are so good to me. But we got beaucoup things to do on our list. There’s a mile long if we want

get this wedding in shape. Now, I hope your day is clear.

Abe: Ah, I’ve already done my part. The most important part.

Paulina: Now really? What is that?

Abe: I proposed to the most vibrant, engaging, charming woman I have ever, ever known. Nothing else really matters.

Paulina: No, maybe not to you, you silver-tongued devil. But I want my wedding to be as perfect as my groom. So now, are you gonna help me with these lists or am I gonna have to get tough?

Abe: Oh, well, let’s do this.

Paulina: Come on now.

Abe: Okay.

[Tense music]

Jake: [Sighs] Better watch your back, philip. There is no way in hell I’m gonna let you steal gabi’s company away from her.

Gabi: Jake?

Ciara: What’s wrong?

Ben: Absolutely nothing. I’m just very happy that I came around on this whole baby-making project.

Ciara: Mm-hmm.

Ben: Because it is awesome.

Ciara: I told you so.

Ben: Mm-hmm.

Ciara: I told you.

Ben: Mm-hmm.

[Eerie music]

Demon marlena: Good morning, ben. I was very encouraged by our session. I hope you felt the same way. I may be overstepping but I was wondering how the… procreation is going? Send. It may not be my place, but I want this process to move along quickly. Ben and ciara’s child is the utmost import to my plan.

John: Hey, doc, who are you talking to?

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

[Soft orchestration]

Lani: Is that a bottomless key lime pie?

Eli: Shoot, I wish. It’s the last slice.

Lani: You had two for dinner last night, one for breakfast. What are you gonna do for lunch?

Eli: Sell my soul to the devil for another slice.

Lani: Or you could just ask chanel to come over to bake you another one.

Eli: Nah, then I wouldn’t be able to sit around here half-naked.

Lani: Hmm.

Eli: No.

Lani: That would be tragic.

Eli: You taking my slice?

Lani: Mm-hmm.

Eli: Oh. Mmm. Delicious!

Lani: You got a little.

Eli: Oh, okay.

Lani: Here, here. I got it. Let me help you with that.

Gabi: Jake, what are you doing?

Jake: Hello, whoa, gorgeous.

Gabi: Ugh, well, these bags under my eyes, I hardly slept. Tossing and turning all night. Neither did you.

Jake: Did I keep you up?

Gabi: No, phillip did. We need to stop this bastard. I mean, there’s no way in hell that you’re gonna go to prison. There’s no way I’m gonna give up my company.

Jake: Yeah, it’s not gonna happen.

Gabi: Well, it will happen if we don’t come up with a plan. We need to be proactive. We need to hit him before he knows what happened. I don’t know what–what can we do to stop this son of bitch.

Jake: Honestly, the only thing on my mind right now is the woman I love standing right in front of me looking sexy as hell.

Gabi: Oh, yeah?

Jake: You know, I’d do anything to make you happy, right?

Gabi: Anything?

Jake: Anything.

Paulina: We don’t need to worry about a wedding cake. Not with sweet bits in charge.

Abe: Aha, and I can lock down the officiant.

Paulina: Oh, really? Who do you have in mind?

Abe: Marlena. She would love to join us in holy matrimony. So what do you think?

Paulina: There are two secrets. Abe is not lani’s father and tammy is not her mother.

Marlena: How can that be? Tamara raised her.

Paulina: Yes, she did. But I gave birth to her. I am lani’s mother.

Abe: You don’t like the idea of marlena marrying us?

Paulina: No, no. A shrink who does weddings? What does she have, a package deal? You know, marry the couple now, and a discount on therapy later?

Abe: You do have a way of putting things. But whatever your reservations are about a shrink marrying us. There is a lot more to marlena than meets the eye.

John: Doc?

Marlena: Oh, I didn’t hear you. Sorry I was just speaking to a colleague about his plans for the future.

John: Could have sworn I heard a man’s voice.

Marlena: I had him on speaker. Any more questions?

John: No. Sorry, I guess I’m just a little– boy, you sure got up early this morning.

Marlena: Didn’t I though?

John: Mm-hmm.

Marlena: You know what they say. No rest for the wicked.

[Knock at door] Oh, my.

John: I got it, I got it, honey. Julie, how are you?

Julie: Not good? And I’m afraid I won’t be any better until I get your permission to see my husband. Your mission:

Ciara: [Sighing] Oh.

Ben: You think we did it? Did we make a baby?

Ciara: Well, compared to last time, I don’t know. It’s hard to tell. I mean, there was no random gusts of winds. The candles didn’t blow out. The clouds didn’t part. The heavens didn’t open up and the ground wasn’t shaking but–

Ben: Well, speak for yourself.

Ciara: Oh, trust me, I had my own spiritual experience.

Ben: I love you.

Ciara: I love you.

Ben: And I already love this baby.

Ciara: There may not even be a baby.

Ben: Ciara, it only takes once, that was like–

Ciara: Yeah, but–but who knows if this once is the time?

Ben: Then we’re gonna have to keep trying.

Ciara: Sounds like a plan.

Ben: In the shower?

Eli: Well, so much for making it to the bedroom.

Lani: Mm, you know, I thought that our extracurricular activities would–you kinda get lost in the diaper changes and feeding schedules but we’re making it work.

Eli: No, it’s not work at all, you know, I got a feeling we’re gonna be honeymooners for life. Not just some old–

Lani: No, uh-uh, no. Don’t you say some old married couple.

Eli: Hey, look, you the one that said it. All right, the only old couple around here is gonna be paulina and your dad.

Lani: Mm, mm-mm. I have–I have a feeling that aunt paulina will–she’ll find a way to keep it sexy and spicy.

Eli: Yeah, I’m sure she will.

Lani: It was really nice celebrating them though. Those two are crazy in love.

Eli: Yeah, or just plain crazy. What was paulina talking about, that you should call her mama?

Abe: I was the officiant at john and marlena’s wedding, as I’ve told you. And marlena made me promise to let her return the favor if I–if I ever decided to tie the knot again. So you don’t want me to break my word, do you?

Paulina: This really means a lot to you, doesn’t it?

Abe: It does.

Paulina: Well, okay. That’s just something else we can just check right off the list.

Abe: Thank you so much. You know what? Why don’t we head over to their place and we can get on the road to happily ever after.

Marlena: Julie, I’m sorry you are upset.

Julie: I don’t care how sorry you are, marlena. I wanna see doug now. I wanna see him today.

Marlena: Well, I’m afraid I can’t let you or anybody else see doug right now.

Julie: Why the hell not?

Marlena: He tried to kill you, I was there. He slammed you over the head with a tray, I mean, it’s– it’s a miracle you weren’t seriously hurt.

Julie: Well, I guess it was a miracle because the tray didn’t kill me. I still wanna see my husband.

Marlena: He’s dangerous, julie. And it’s possible that seeing you might just set him off.

Julie: It’s also possible that you are wrong, marlena. With all due respect, I know my husband better than you do. He’s in isolation. He–he is frightened. I don’t see how seeing me or any of the people who love him wouldn’t make him feel a thousand percent better.

Marlena: I’m very sorry. But the answer is no I’m afraid.

John: Doc, can one visit really hurt? Doug is sedated. If he’s supervised?

Marlena: I’m a psychiatrist. I’ve been doing this for many years. I think I know what’s best for my patient unless you think you do?

John: Just trying to help you a little bit that’s all.

Marlena: Julie, if there’s nothing else.

Julie: What gave you the right to play god with people’s lives?

Marlena: Julie, playing god is the last thing I wanna do, but what if I let you see doug and somehow he–he got his hands on–on a pencil or something sharp and–and he–and he stabs you in the heart?

John: Doc, easy.

Julie: That’s ridiculous. You’re treating him like he’s just a patient and he’s your friend. Where is your heart, marlena?

Marlena: Well, somebody’s gotta be objective.

Julie: Are you sure that you are? But what if it was john? What if it was john who was stuck in some snake pit of an institution and you weren’t allowed to see him?

Marlena: Well, if john had tried to kill me, I would hope that somebody with a rational mind will do something to help him.

Julie: Oh, bull! You’d be mad as hell. You know you would.

Marlena: Julie, trust that I have doug’s best interests and yours at heart. Really I do, and– and if there’s any change in him at all, I’ll be sure to let you know.

Julie: I feel sick that I ever let you talk me into signing those commitment papers.

John: Julie.

Julie: This isn’t over!

Abe: Uh, well, what was that all about? Julie seemed pretty upset.

John: Julie, well she wants to visit doug at bayview.

Marlena: Yeah, an–and I had to tell her that doug is a danger to himself and others.

Paulina: He seems so harmless to me. Well, I guess I got off easy when he goosed my caboose.

Lani: Asking me to call her mama? Yeah, definitely awkward.

Eli: Yes, it was weird. But you know what, you set her straight and I don’t think it’s gonna happen again.

Lani: Yeah, we know that. Though it does come from a place of love, auntie p can overstep.

John: So what brings you two by?

Abe: Well, we have news to share.

Paulina: Abe and i are getting hitched.

John: [Laughs] Sensational, isn’t it, doc?

Marlena: Oh, yes. That’s–that’s wonderful.

Abe: Yeah, hey and–and we would be honored, marlena, if you would preside over the ceremony.

Marlena: Oh, but of course before I agree, there’s something I need you to know abe.

Gabi: So I’m thinking an omelet and a side of bacon. Oh, and hash browns. You made me work up an appetite.

Jake: Wow.

Gabi: I’ll share if you’re nice.

Jake: I think I might just have some coffee.

Ciara: Hey.

Jake: Oh.

Ciara: Hi, how are you guys? So good to see you. I’m actually really glad I ran into you. I wanted to talk to you about something.

Gabi: Sure.

Jake: That’s perfect timing ’cause I gotta chat with ben about something. So why don’t you two go in, grab a table and we’ll be in a few.

Ciara: Sure.

Gabi: I can’t promise I won’t start without you.

Ciara: Bye.

Jake: Salem inn over there, right?

Ben: What’s going on?

Jake: Got a little bit of a situation.

Ben: What the hell are you doing with that?

Jake: Someone is trying to hurt gabi and I–I gotta stop it. Oof. You are busy

Abe: What do I need to know? What dark secrets are you keeping from me?

Marlena: Well… it’s about paulina. You see, I got thinking about tamara and how I couldn’t possibly officiate over a wedding involving you and your sister’s ex-boyfriend and baby daddy without knowing how she feels about it.

Paulina: Oh, that–that–that’s all you’re worried about. Well, I’ve spoken to my sister and I’m happy to say we have tammy’s blessing and she’ll be tickled to know you’re the one tying our knot.

Marlena: Mm, well, I’d like to hear that from her. And then I’d be thrilled to marry you.

Abe: Oh, good. Thank you, thank you.

John: This calls for a celebration. Mimosas all the way around maybe, what do you say?

Abe: You know, I wish we could but in my bride-to-be and I have a million things to do to get ready for this wedding, so– oh, starting with buying me a new suit.

Paulina: Oh–oh–uh, john, do you mind–could you go with abe? I think I’d like to stay here and chat with marlena about what we had in mind for the ceremony. So what do you say, john? Are you available?

John: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. Of course, even though I don’t know how much I’ll be able to help. I mean, my–my–my style was a little low-key for abraham.

Paulina: It’s perfect. You can help him keep it simple. I mean, we don’t want the groom to outshine his bride.

Abe: Oh, that’s not possible.

John: Okay, I’ll–I’ll be right back.

Marlena: Oh.

Abe: I’ll see you in a bit.

Paulina: Mm-hmm.

John: Congratulations, abe.

Abe: Yes, yeah.

Marlena: You don’t want to talk about the ceremony, do you?

Paulina: No, I don’T. Sister, whoo, you had me sweating bullets just now.

Marlena: Did I?

Paulina: You know damn well you did, you–you needed to talk to abraham and that–that look that came over your face. I got the distinct impression you were going to out my secret.

Marlena: You mean your secret about lying to abe and lying to lani. The thought did cross my mind.

Lani: We’re behind schedule.

Eli: Yes. I know but it was so worth it, wasn’t it?

Lani: Mm-hmm.

[Knock at door]

Julie: Eli, oh, thank god you are home.

Eli: Everything okay? Is it doug?

Julie: How would I know? Marlena won’t let me see him.

Lani: I thought the restriction on visitors was just temporary.

Julie: Yes, it was but now it’s become permanent. If this keeps up– if this keeps up, marlena won’t let me see him until hell freezes over.

Eli: Well, marlena is his doctor.

Julie: I am his wife.

Lani: He–he attacked you.

Julie: He is no danger to me or to anyone. I know this, you know this, the whole world knows this except for the great and powerful marlena evans. Well, no, she will not see what’s right in front of her that doug needs me. If this keeps up, I swear I’m gonna turn out to be the danger to others, especially one very tall blonde psychiatrist.

Lani: Okay, julie, I know how bad you wanna see doug, but if marlena won’t allow it, I don’t–I don’t think there’s anything that any one of us can do.

Eli: Oh, actually there is.

Ben: So, gabi signs over the company to philip, or you go down for murder?

Jake: Yeah.

Ben: And phillip’s already wrangled an eyewitness.

Jake: Who’s lying through his teeth. I admit I was stupid enough to get involved, but I did not kill anybody.

Ben: Just relax, breath.

Jake: Thought I was done with this life. But now here it is in my face being used to hurt gabi.

Ben: I can relate, brother. Trying to escape the man I was. There’s nothing easy about it.

Jake: Yeah, never thought I’d hold one of these things in my hand again.

Ben: There’s gotta be another way.

Jake: Sometimes words don’t do the trick.

Ben: Well, listen, I know you’re trying to protect gabi and I know you might be feeling really desperate right now, but I promise you brother, look at me, you’re doing the wrong thing, even for all the right reasons. Nothing good can come of it.

Ciara: Mmm, so good. I’m definitely gonna miss this.

Gabi: Miss coffee, why?

Ciara: Oh, well, ben and i are actually trying to get pregnant.

Gabi: That is great. Is that what you wanted to talk to me about?

Ciara: No, actually I wanted to talk to you about work.

Gabi: Work?

Ciara: Yeah, well with a baby coming, I thought it might be a good idea to have a little nest fund, so to speak. So I talked to my grandfather and I am going back to titan.

Gabi: Lucky you.

Ciara: Yeah, well, I will be if I can work for gabi chic. It is one of titan’s most profitable and fastest growing divisions and you gabriela dimera are a rockstar and there’s no one I would rather be working for.

Gabi: That’s very flattering, but it’s not gonna happen.

Ciara: Why not?

Gabi: Your uncle phillip fired me.

Ciara: What? Wait, he can do that?

Gabi: Oh, it gets better. He’s trying to steal my company.

Jake: You know gabi built her company from nothing and phillip kiriakis, that silver spoon son of a bitch, who’s been handed everything in his life, gonna try and take it away. No, no, no. I’m not gonna let it happen.

Ben: So you’re planning to kill philip kiriakis. In life there are people who,

Ciara: No, my uncle philip must be crazy. Firing you? Stealing your company? How can there be a gabi chic without you gabi? You are the brand. It is you.

Gabi: Thank you. You are damn right, but phillip is too stupid and greedy to get that. He actually thinks I can be replaced.

Ciara: Well, is it a done deal? Can anything be done about this? Because honestly it just doesn’t seem like the brightest business decision to me.

Gabi: Well, maybe you could share your opinion with–with your grandfather. I mean, at this point, I think victor’s the only person that phillip’s gonna listen to. And if he doesn’t start listening to reason, very soon, he’s gonna live to regret it.

Jake: Never killed anybody before. I don’t intend to start now.

Ben: Okay, so what the gun is just a–a prop?

Jake: It’s the only language that some people understand, especially when they are as dumb as carmine merlino.

Ben: Carmine merlino. What, you lost me.

Jake: Carmine is the clown that phillip tagged to testify that I beat a man to death.

Ben: And let me guess carmine’s the real killer.

Jake: Exactly. So I got him on the horn, convince him to come down to salem and have a sit down. Just the two of us. I’m hoping to convince him to get it through his thick skull, that it’s in our best interest for him to keep his mouth shut.

Ben: And what if he doesn’t keep his mouth shut?

Jake: Hoping the threat of a little heat might show him some reason.

[Beeping] That’s carmine. Wish me luck.

Ben: Whoa, whoa, whoa, I’m coming with you.

Jake: No, no you’re not.

Ben: Jake, this guy’s dangerous. You need somebody to watch you back.

Jake: You and sierra are finally living your life, happily. I’m not letting you anywhere near this.

Ben: Jake, I’m not letting you go by yourself–

Jake: No, I’ll be fine. Just tell gabi I remembered an appointment I had to keep, all right?

Ben: An appointment–

Jake: I’ll be fine.

Eli: Okay, ma, if marlena is worried about your safety, then I will go down to bayview with you and I will stay with you the entire time.

Julie: Oh, love, that so kind, but it won’t help. Marlena’s order it bans all visitors, not just me.

Eli: Well, lucky for us. My badge will get us by doctor’s orders.

Julie: Really?

Eli: Yeah.

Julie: Oh, sweetheart, that would be wonderful.

Eli: All right, come on. We’ll go down to bayview and we’re not gonna take no for an answer.

Julie: Oh, my love.

Paulina: When I came to your office that day, you said that what we talked about was private, protected by patient doctor confidentiality.

Marlena: It is. That’s why I didn’t say anything to abe.

Paulina: But you just said you admitted that you almost did. You said it crossed your mind you almost blurted out what I told you.

Marlena, this just won’t do. Now. I need to know that I can trust you. If I can’t, you and I we have a big problem.

Marlena: You don’t have a problem with trust with me because I’m not the person you’re marrying.

Paulina: What are you saying?

Marlena: What I’m saying is before you walked down the aisle and say I do, you’re going to have to come clean. You’re going to have to tell abe the truth and lani the truth.

Abe: Well, I am so sorry that I forgot that the men’s store wasn’t open today.

John: No, it’s okay. It’s okay. Actually, I’m kind of glad it gives you and me a chance to talk a little bit.

Abe: Yeah, you know, you do seem preoccupied. What’s on your mind?

John: Let me ask you something. Does doc seem like she’s herself to you?

Abe: Well, what do you mean?

John: Yeah, just–she’s been doing some things lately that have been A… bit out of character. You saw the way julie left her place.

Abe: Oh, she was definitely upset.

John: Doc still wouldn’t let her see doug. But instead of comforting julie, empathizing with what she’s going through there, she took really hard stand and just made everything worse.

Abe: Well, we both know that julie doesn’t wanna listen to something she doesn’t want to hear.

John: Yeah, I know–I know that, but it’s–it’s more than that. It’s– I don’t know, doc’s got a edge. Even with me, and the fact is… she’s been off for quite a while.

Abe: Off? How?

John: You know, for example you know that–the promo johnny was to make?

Abe: Yeah, the–the one who’s going to include marlena’s possession.

John: Yeah, yeah, well, the kid has rewritten the whole script and now it only is about marlena’s possession.

Abe: Only about. I don’t get it. We–we had all agreed that that chapter of marlena’s life, all of our lives is best left in the past. That–that was the position marlena took.

John: Well, I thought so. Then suddenly, yesterday she announces in front of johnny that she’s all on board for his project. Last night, I walked in on her and she’s totally engrossed in the script. I think she’s really enjoying it, and the whole time she’s– she’s wearing a pair of dark sunglasses.

Abe: Dark sunglasses?

John: You remember those days, don’t you, abraham? Marlena was always going around and trying to hide her eyes from everybody.

Abe: [Exhales] You don’t think– you don’t think marlena is possessed again, do you? Advil dual action fights pain 2 ways.

John: No, I don’t think that she’s possessed. I just think that–that she’s in trouble and she needs my help, but I don’t even know how to help her I don’t even know where to start.

Abe: When did you first notice her acting differently?

John: It was right after the first session with doug.

Abe: That must be pretty upsetting watching him collapse right in front of her.

John: Here’s the odd thing, doc says that… she’s fuzzy on all the details of what happened. She was so concerned in fact that she went back to her office to replay the tape and that’s when she learned that she’d forgotten that doug had threatened to kill julie.

Abe: That’s a really big thing to forget.

John: Yeah, yeah, well she said, “well–well–well, this all happened so quickly and you know, and I was so distracted with doug collapsing and everything.” No, she is a professional. She never loses her cool here, so something’s not quite right.

Abe: You think something happened? I mean, something she hadn’t told you?

John: I don’t know but I’m–I’m pretty sure that there’s something on that doug’s session tape that could tell me a hell of a lot.

Abe: You’re not thinking of playing that tape, are you? The ethics.

John: I gotta do something, abraham, or I’m never gonna figure out what’s going on with my wife.

Paulina: I thought a shrink was supposed to listen to people, not tell them what to do.

Marlena: Look, I’m speaking to you as someone who has known and cared about abe longer than you have sista.

Paulina: You mocking me, marlena?

Marlena: No, I’m just stating a fact.

Paulina: Well, let me give you a fact. Now, I may not have known abe for as long as you have, but I–I love the hell out of that man.

Marlena: Yes, I know you do. And–and what is love really? I mean, it’s–it’s honesty and being willing to tell the truth.

Paulina: I swore to take the secret to my grave. And if I don’t it would put abe into his. I might finally have my daughter but abe would lose the apple of his eye. Now, how can I–how can I break the heart of the best man that I’ve ever known?

Marlena: Look, you are about to take a sacred oath to be–to be–to be true to abe. And how can you do that knowing that you’re–you’re lying to him about being lani’s mother.

Paulina: Well, it’s not like a bolt of lightning is just gonna come in through the chapel window and strike me dead.

Marlena: Are you sure? I know that you’re a woman of faith, so I know it’s imperative that you tell abe and lani the truth. And if you don’t, god have mercy on your soul.

Eli: Hi, I’m eli grant from the salem pd. We are here to see doug williams.

Kessler: I’m sorry, detective, but mr. Williams isn’t allow visitors.

Eli: Well, this is a police matter so I have to insist.

Ben: Hey.

Ciara: Hi.

Gabi: Where’s jake?

Jake: Carmine.

Carmine: Jakey lambert.

Jake: It’s dimera now.

Carmine: The name has changed but I’m betting your game is still the same.

Jake: Not exactly.

Carmine: Come on. You can take the wise guy out of philly, but you can’t take philly out of the wise guy.

Jake: Huh.

Carmine: Am I right?

Jake: I hear you’re thinking of testifying that I’m the one who killed jed zanetti. We both know that’s a lie.

Carmine: My word against yours, jakey.

Jake: Either way, we were both there and it’s in our mutual best interest for you to keep your mouth shut.

Carmine: Let me worry about what’s in my best interest, okay?

Jake: How much is phillip paying you?

Carmine: Who said anybody’s pay me anything?

Jake: Why else would you lie? Why else would you be chirping about this now?

Carmine: I got nothing to say to you.

Jake: I’ll pay you. Huh? I’ll match whatever phil’s paying you and throw a little something extra on top.

Carmine: Sorry, not interested.

Jake: Oh.

[Cocks gun] You lie about me, you lose your life. That work for you, carmine? It’s my 4:05 the-show-must-go-on

Lani: Aunt paulina, what brings you here?

Demon marlena: [Chuckles] All that arrogance. You’re such a fool, paulina. You know, you should have listened to your instinct for self-survival. Now I’m just gonna give you a little nudge and then you’ll tell lani that you really her mother and abe’s not her father. And then–[Laughs] And then– and then all hell’s gonna break loose.

[Phone rings]

Marlena: Dr. Evans.

Kessler: This is nurse kessler from bayview. Julie williams is here with a detective grant insisting she be allowed to see her husband.

Marlena: You don’t say.

John: There we go. Now, forgive me god, but I gotta get to the bottom of this.

Marlena: You need to stop talking like this, doug. This is just your–your mind playing tricks on you. And that’s why I’m here. I’m here to help.

Ben: Jake said he had something to take care of and that he would catch up with you later.

Gabi: Did he say what that was?

Ben: He just said it was something that couldn’t wait.

Carmine: [Laughs] You’re killin’ me. You with a gun. Come on, jake, you’re a pussycat. There’s no way that you would shoot me. And we both know it.

Jake: [Grunting]

Carmine: See what I mean? You couldn’t do what needed to be done. Just like you couldn’t with jed zanetti. Luckily, I got no problem doing what needs to be done.

Abe: What the hell is going on here?

Jake: No!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Chad: I am sorry I’m late.

Abigail: Hi.

Chad: Memorizing lines?

Abigail: No. This is not johnny’s script, but it’s still pretty damn interesting. Turns out we’re a little behind on the local news.

Chad: What the hell?

Abigail: Yeah. Gwen’s in jail for soliciting a judge. And, looks like, this time, she might actually pay for what she did.

Bonnie: Not that I’m in any rush to get back into statesville, at least they have a tv. Of course, you could get a black eye trying to change the channel. Want to play 20 questions? Hey. Hey, hey, hey. You crying?

Gwen: No!

Bonnie: Kid. Hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. I know it’s rough, but you gotta believe me; justin’s brilliant. He’s gonna get us out of here.

Gwen: How? He’s in the same boat that we are in. He’s in a bloody cell, just like us.

[Sighs] God, this is driving me absolutely mad, knowing that xander’s just down the hall, but he might as well be in bloody siberia.

Bonnie: Honey, it’s always darkest before the dawn.

Officer: Lockhart?

Bonnie: What?

Officer: Out.

Bonnie: Why? Where are you taking me?

Gwen: Jack.

Officer: Let’s go.

Bonnie: Listen, jack, whatever happens– whatever happens to me, you tell justin I love him. Please, just promise me that. Ow. God!

Jack: I promise. I promise. Sweetheart. How are you?

Gwen: I’m sorry. I completely messed everything up. Please don’t hate me.

[Tense music]

Xander: Can’t stop thinking about what trask said. If uncle victor comes through, we just might be off the hook.

Justin: It must mean that he’s made some headway with her.

Xander: You think?

Justin: What I don’t get is why… she would tip her hand to us like that–and make a special trip down here to do it.

Xander: It’s the power trip.

Justin: Didn’t seem like one.

Xander: No, I know her type. She just wanted to remind us that she still owns us… throw her weight around so we don’t notice that victor’s already won and she’s about to cave.

Justin: But why cave? I mean, she lives for headlines. She has a slam dunk, front-page case against us. What the hell does victor have that is worth more to her than that?

Steve: Hey, sweetness.

Kayla: Hey.

Steve: Sorry I’m late.

Kayla: No, I just got here. Remember I told you that I put a call into bayview?

Steve: Yeah. To get them to let julie in to see doug, right?

Kayla: Yeah. Well, I heard back from him right after you left.

Steve: And how’d it go?

Kayla: They won’t budge.

Steve: Why not?

Kayla: Well, they said it’s not their decision, that they are just following orders. Marlena’s orders.

Steve: What?

Kayla: Yeah, apparently she extended the order that doug can’t talk to anybody except the bayview staff. I mean, keeping julie from doug? Marlena’s not that kind of doctor. In fact, she’s not that kind of person.

Steve: No. So what are you gonna do?

Kayla: Well, it’s too late to do anything now, so I’m gonna have to take care of it in the morning.

[Exhales] I’m pretty fun, aren’t I? I bet you’re happy that you are having dinner with me.

Steve: Baby, I’m always happy to have dinner with you. You know that.

Kayla: You know what I want?

Steve: What?

Kayla: I want a drink… and I want to change the subject.

Steve: I can make that happen. So… what do you want to talk about? The cubs?

Kayla: No. I want you to tell me what victor wanted.

Steve: Nothing much. He just wants black patch to find kristen dimera.

Nicole: Oh, gosh, nicole.

Ej: Allow me.

Nicole: Ej. Um… what are you doing here?

Ej: I believe you and i have some unfinished business.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Nicole: Um… ej, if you’re here to discuss the spring projections…

Ej: I think you know that’s not why I’m here.

[Dramatic music]

Our dinner at julie’s place was a fiasco. I’m here to humbly ask for a do-over.

Kayla: So victor wants you to find kristen.

Steve: Uh-huh. And he’s offering a handsome reward for her.

Kayla: What is it? Some kind of vigilante justice? Is he gonna build a guillotine in his backyard? No, no, I take that back. I bet he already has one.

Steve: No, nothing like that. He’s made some kind of deal with melinda trask.

Kayla: Oh, god. The one person on earth who hates kristen more than victor.

Steve: With good reason. Kristen did kill her daughter.

Kayla: So it’s obviously revenge.

Steve: Right. Since victor knows that, he’s offering kristen to her.

Kayla: In exchange for what?

Steve: Dropping the charges against justin and xander.

Xander: No, you’re right. I just don’t see victor being able to pay trask off. Power means more to her than money.

Justin: Trask knows if she took a bribe from him, she’d be in his back pocket for the rest of her career.

Xander: Yeah, she’s already got us in here for soliciting a judge; I mean, imagine the headlines if she put victor kiriakis away for bribery.

Justin: Right. So we know it’s not about money. God only knows how victor’s mind works.

Xander: Well, you know what was weird? She said he was trying to get both of us out. Now, you, I understand he’ll move heaven and earth for, but me? I mean, we’re not on the best of terms to begin with, and now I’ve dragged you down with me.

Justin: You’re family. That’s victor’s bottom line.

Officer: Let’s go, kiriakis.

Xander: My god, he did it. He got us out.

Officer: No, not you, beefcake. Just him. Move it.

Justin: Where are you taking me?

Officer: You’ll see. Want your clothes to smell freshly washed

Nicole: Ej, tonight’s not a good night. You know, it’s been a long day and holly’s at a sleepover and I could really use a good night’s sleep.

Ej: But you’ve still got to eat.

Nicole: I think I’ve got some fried rice in the refrigerator. I should be fine, right? Rice doesn’t go bad?

Ej: Ah. Nicole, how about if I promise to have you back before curfew? We’ll go to julie’s place for food that isn’t three weeks old. I could call ahead and make sure there’s a dry martini waiting for you.

Nicole: Oh, you remembered my achilles’ heel.

Ej: So is that a yes?

Nicole: [Sighs] Yes. I guess so. Yes. Could you just give me– give me a minute to fix up?

Ej: Nicole… you don’t need to fix up. Nothing about you needs fixing.

Chad: So no one could ever accuse gwen of being prudent, but to come onto a judge?

Abigail: She did more than come onto him. She flat out offered to sleep with him if he threw out xander’s court case. And it was more than a he-said-she-said thing. I mean, the man was wearing a wire.

Chad: And now she’s facing prison time.

Abigail: Could be up to five years.

Chad: I mean, a judge. She had to have known she was taking a huge risk.

Abigail: Well, you know, I’m sure it never occurred to her that any man would ever have the willpower to turn her down.

Chad: Touché.

Abigail: But what I don’t understand is, why xander? I’ve known this woman to do anything for anyone other than herself, and now xander?

Chad: He always did bring out the best in people. Have you talked to your dad? This must have come as a huge shock to him.

Abigail: I don’t think anything gwen said or did could come as a shock to him now.

Chad: Not even offering to sleep with a judge?

Abigail: It’s not that much of a stretch. Turns out she and my dad had a little heart-to-heart, and she told him that, back in philly, she used to be a sex worker.

Jack: Gwen, I could never hate you. Do you think I would even be here if I blamed you for what happened?

Gwen: I am to blame for everything. It’s bad enough that I’ve messed up xander’s life, but now justin’s too.

Jack: Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold it right there. First of all, you didn’t put a gun to xander’s head. He screwed up his own life. And it’s not the first time.

Gwen: But justin–

Jack: Oh… [Sighs] He’s gonna get off, believe me. Look, he was planning to marry bonnie lockhart. That’s a rock-solid insanity defense if there ever was one.

Gwen: [Chuckles] Yeah, she is special, isn’t she?

Jack: Yeah, that’s one word for it. Yeah.

Gwen: God, how’d you even get in here to come and see me?

Jack: It wasn’t easy. Finally had to play the reporter card. So you tell me, are you eating? Sleeping?

Gwen: I’m okay.

Jack: Mm-hmm? Bonnie’s not driving you crazy?

Gwen: Well, you know, I thought at first that she would. But… she’s actually been quite a distraction. And in her own weird way, she’S… she’s been very nice to me.

Jack: You know, the two of you shouldn’t even be in here together. She’s being charged with murder! She could be dangerous.

Gwen: I don’t know. I’m actually sort of worried about her. Do you-do you know where that cop just took her now?

Bonnie: Justin! What are you doing here?

Justin: Well, I understand you’ve been demanding to see your lawyer.

Bonnie: I have. I’ve been so worried about you! I just didn’t think they’d let me see you ’cause you’re in here too.

Justin: I haven’t been convicted or disbarred, so technically I am still your lawyer. So there’s no reason for me to not be here, and–not that there’s much that I can do for you in here.

Bonnie: You could give me a hug.

Justin: Sure.

Officer: No–no touching.

[Emotional music]

You got five minutes.

Bonnie: Justin, what have I done to you?

[Sobs] Sorry.

Kayla: So victor plans to spring justin and xander and leave bonnie to rot in prison.

Steve: Not to mention my niece, gwen.

Kayla: Look, I understand that he is paying for a job, but don’t you think it’s horribly unfair that he would ask you to only help his family members?

Steve: I do. But who says I have to go along with his plan?

Kayla: You’re thinking of double-crossing victor kiriakis? The man who invented revenge?

Steve: I won’t be double-crossing him. He’ll get what he wants. But now that I know what trask is after, I can go to her and tell her the price went up. If she wants kristen, she’ll have to drop the charges against bonnie and gwen too.

Kayla: Steve, no.

Steve: No what?

Kayla: No, it’s dangerous! Please. You cannot take this case. People everywhere living with type 2 diabetes

Chad: So that’s what dr. Snyder was holding over gwen–was that– was that she was a sex worker.

Abigail: That’s what she told my dad, anyway.

Chad: Okay, so xander is sitting in jail for something gwen did, just to keep the truth from your dad, but your dad already knows the whole story?

Abigail: Yeah, but I have a feeling that’s not the whole story. And quite frankly, I don’t believe a word of it.

Jack: I’m working on getting you a new lawyer. Okay?

Gwen: Thank you.

Jack: Okay. This is what I’m thinking. We can argue that since justin was a lawyer and he okayed the plan, you had no idea how serious it was when you–

Gwen: No, he tried to talk us out of it, jack. He only went to smails after I had gone to see him and… made the offer. I came up with the idea all on my own.

Jack: Damn it, gwen. Why did you do it? Didn’t you know the whole thing was gonna blow up in your face? Why didn’t you… why didn’t you come to me?

Gwen: Because there was nothing that you could do… then. There is something that you can do, though, now.

Jack: Name it.

Gwen: Give xander a message for me.

Bonnie: Steve was right. I ruined your life.

Justin: Bonnie! We only have five minutes together, and I don’t intend to waste it listening to you cry.

Bonnie: All right. Even in the slammer, you had a handkerchief.

Justin: Bonnie!

Bonnie: No, you’re just such a classy guy, and I’m a worthless piece of–

Justin: Bonnie, stop! Don’t talk like that about the woman I love.

Bonnie: Still?

Justin: Yes, still!

Bonnie: You’re nuts!

Justin: Probably!

Bonnie: Look, I need you to listen to me like you never listened to me before, do you understand? This is important! You can’t worry about me. I’ve done time. I know how to handle myself. But justin, you don’t know what they do to guys with handkerchiefs in statesville. So you gotta do whatever it takes to get out, do you understand me? You tell trask that you will turn dime on me. And as long as she drops the charges against you, you gotta do and say whatever she wants you to say. Do you understand?

Justin: I won’t do that.

Bonnie: You have to. It’s the only way out here!

Justin: No. Fortunately, it’s not.

Steve: Baby, I have to do this. I can’t watch justin and bonnie and gwen go to statesville if there’s something I can do about it.

Kayla: This isn’t just about double-crossing victor. It’s about finding kristen and bringing her back here. Do you think she’s gonna do that without a fight? And when she fights, she kills people.

Steve: I can handle kristen.

Kayla: How are you even gonna find her? Nobody has seen or heard from her in months. How will you track her down?

Nicole: [Laughing]

Steve: I think the answer to that might have just walked through the door.

[Intriguing music]

Advil dual action fights pain 2 ways.

Xander: Jack! Oh, it’s good to see you, mate.

Jack: Nice place you got here.

Xander: Look, I’m so sorry about gwen. I swear, I was totally against her going to that judge. Just, I was in custody. I couldn’t stop her.

Jack: I know. I know. She told me it was all her idea.

Xander: Well, not exactly. I was the one who started talking about trying to prove that smails was dirty. She was just so desperate to help. But it is on me.

Jack: You know, the two of you have a very interesting relationship. You think everything is your fault, and she thinks everything is hers.

Xander: What’s that supposed to mean?

Jack: It means that she wants me to tell trask that she was the one delivering drugs for snyder, and you had nothing to do with it–that, at least you should get out of this free, that maybe you’ll just get a slap on the wrist for dumping the body, and that’s it.

Xander: No! Jack, you can’t do that.

Jack: No, no! Look. Gwen’s just trying to help you, xander; please, just let her do it.

Xander: Jack, promise me you will not say a word about this to trask.

Jack: Why not?

Chad: So you think gwen lied to your dad.

Abigail: After everything that he’s forgiven her for– drugging me, trying to ruin his marriage, seducing you, not to mention the fight that she had with grandma that ended up in her, you know, dead… to think that being a sex worker is gonna be the one thing that he couldn’t get past?

Chad: So she had to–she had to come up with something to explain the blackmail.

Abigail: Yeah, but it’s a shrewd lie, right? And he already feels guilty about her. And then she says she was forced to sell her body? He’s not gonna dwell on that. He’s sure as hell not gonna challenge it.

Chad: No, you just put your fingers over your ears and go, ” ahh!” I mean, but… but seriously, I mean, it is all supposition.

Abigail: It’s a working hypothesis. One, snyder had to have something really big on her in order for her to be willing to take that big of a risk. Two, if the threat is telling my dad, then it must have been something that he would not be able to forgive.

Chad: Just refer to all of the other terrible things that she’s done that your father’s forgiven her for.

Abigail: Right, but I think the one red line that I can think of is if she deliberately hurt his family– me, my mom, jj, or our kids.

Chad: She–she already has. I mean, your–your–your dad knows everything that she’s done, and he asked her to move in with him.

Abigail: Yeah, but he did that because when she did those things, she thought that he had deliberately abandoned her and that I had stolen her life, but now that–she knows it’s not true.

Chad: So the threat isn’t something from the past. ‘Cause he’d forgive that.

Abigail: I think that if she did something deliberately after she knew the truth, it’d be a totally different story.

Kayla: You think that ej knows where kristen is?

Steve: Well, we know kristen sent ej the letter telling him about sami’s affair with lucas. So at the very least, she’s been in touch with him.

Kayla: Even if he knows, he’s not gonna give up his own sister, especially to you.

Steve: No, but nicole might.

Kayla: Nicole? Why would she know anything?

Steve: Well, wasn’t she the one who handed the letter over to ej, to get back at sami for blowing up her marriage? Maybe there was a postmark on it or something that she saw. And unlike ej, nicole hates kristen.

Kayla: I thought she hates ej too, but they look awfully cozy for a business dinner.

Ej: So now that you have your martini, shall we talk about basic black’s new line?

Nicole: I think we need to talk about you kissing me. What was that about?

Kayla: We need to find a way to get nicole alone.

Steve: “We”? I thought you said I shouldn’t do this.

Kayla: I know, but I thought about what you said, about helping justin and bonnie and gwen. So I think that we need to do something. And I have an idea.

Ej: That kiss was an impulse. You said you didn’t want to be kissing rafe. I was trying to provide a viable alternative. I’m sorry if I overstepped my bounds.

Nicole: You did. But it’s not like I tried to stop you. And I let you talk me into taking me out to dinner, which I probably shouldn’t have done.

Ej: We’re both going through a divorce. It’s not as if we’re doing anything wrong.

Nicole: It’s not about wrong or right; it’s about being stupid and really stupid.

Ej: So you think, because we’re both going through nasty divorces and that we have a truly bizarre and complex personal history and that neither one of us have ever been remotely reliable, this might not be a good idea?

Nicole: Something along those lines, yes.

Ej: Yeah. But it could be fun to see what happens. And, as I recall, when we did have fun, we had pretty spectacular fun.

Nicole: Okay. We paid for that fun, big time.

Ej: So you’re telling me you’re now sadder and wiser and don’t want to risk making the same mistakes all over again. Hmm?

Nicole: That’s right. However, if you buy me another martini, we can talk about it.

Steve: Where you going?

Kayla: Garcon! Garcon, mr. Dimera here wants a drink or something or other. I just had to come over here and confirm for myself that the two of you were here together! And I wasn’t just seeing things.

Steve: Baby, listen, let’s go get you something to eat.

Kayla: No, no, no, no, no, no, just a second, now. I’m catching up with my old pal ej.

Ej: Old pal? You hate me, as I recall.

Kayla: Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Hated. Hated. As in past tense. No, I mean, you brainwashed my husband. I mean, I’m sure that you had a good reason to do that. And you! And you, nicole. This must be, like, the craziest déj vu for you. I mean–I mean, how many times were you guys married?

Steve: Come on. Let’s let them be now.

Kayla: Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Mm-mm.

Steve: Come on. Let’s go.

Ej: We were just trying to order.

Kayla: Oh, well, you know what, the rack of lamb is my very favorite. It’s right here.

Steve: Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Nicole: Oh, my gosh.

Kayla: Oh, my gosh, that’s probably a silk tie, isn’t it?

Ej: It was.

Kayla: Ah, triage! Get that to the men’s room, stat! You need to douse that baby with water. I mean, really clean it and get that stain out of there. Move it! Move it over there! Go on! Head on out!

Steve: Okay, okay.

Kayla: Go.

Steve: That’s enough.

Kayla: That way.

[ Crow squawks ]

Bonnie: So trask said victor has a way to get us off the hook?

Justin: That’s what she said.

Bonnie: Maybe she doesn’t have enough evidence against us.

Justin: There’s a recording of me extorting a judge. And they found a dead body with a bullet in our bed. That’s the kind of evidence a da dreams about.

Bonnie: Well, maybe she finally figured out that that judge is crooked and is going after him instead.

Justin: Bonnie, I don’t want to use this time talking about our case. I want to talk about us.

Bonnie: Oh.

Justin: God only knows what victor is trying or if it’ll work. But I want you to know that whatever happens, I still want to marry you, even if we have to have the ceremony in the statesville cafeteria.

Bonnie: Oh, god, justin.

Justin: Bonnie, don’t cry.

Bonnie: I can’t help it. I know I don’t deserve you. I don’T. But I love you so much. God, I miss you so much.

Justin: I miss you too.

Officer: That’s it; time’s up.

Chad: So even if she is lying, how can we prove it? Snyder’s dead.

Abigail: I hope that was a really painful death and he is burning in hell somewhere.

Chad: Okay.

Abigail: I mean, think about it. Because of me, she loses her baby. And then–

Chad: But that-that was an accident.

Abigail: But he’s her doctor, and it must have been one of the lowest moments of her life; he blackmails her? What a pig.

Chad: I agree. So… you feel sorry for gwen?

Abigail: I feel sorry for her, yeah. I feel guilty about her, I hate her, and I wish she’d never been born.

Chad: Okay, then–then why don’t we just let her go? I mean, she’s made her decision. Why don’t we just let the cards fall where they may? And then you and I, we can focus on us and the kids.

Abigail: I can’T.

Chad: Why? Because you feel guilty?

Abigail: No; because of my dad. Snyder must have known that gwen did something my dad could never forgive. It must have been horrible, personal. Of all the things that gwen has done to my dad, I think the worst is yet to come. And to protect him… I gotta find out what it is.

Xander: Jack, you can’t tell the da the truth about gwen.

Jack: Think about it, xander. Maybe if gwen comes clean, they’ll go easy on you.

Xander: No, no, no, no, listen: She can’t say a word about any of it, because–look, there’s a good chance that all the charges against us are just gonna go away.

Jack: You’re delusional. I mean, the evidence is overwhelming!

Xander: No, I’m not delusional. Justin and I heard it from trask herself.

Jack: Why in god’s name would trask let you off?

Xander: I have no idea.

Ej: I hope you’re not operating on anyone tonight.

Kayla: [Giggles] You’re funny. You’re hilarious.

Steve: Okay, okay.

Nicole: [Stammers] Are you okay?

Kayla: I’m fine.

Steve: And stone-cold sober.

Nicole: Right. So what’s going on?

Kayla: We need to get you alone.

Steve: We need to ask you some questions about kristen dimera. On the outside, I looked fine.

Jack: Justin.

Justin: Jack.

Jack: Look, I just wanted to tell you, bonnie asked me to tell you that she loves you.

Justin: I know. I just talked to her.

[Cell phone ringing]

Jack: Oh. Um… look, I just want you to– I’m so sorry that you got pulled into all of this. I have no idea what’s going on. Xander wouldn’t have even been charged if gwen had just told the truth.

Justin: Actually, it’s a little more complicated than that.

Jack: What’s that supposed to mean?

Gwen: Justin can be your lawyer from jail? That’s weird.

Bonnie: Oh, yeah, weird. And great.

Gwen: Does he think that he can win your case?

Bonnie: Uh, no, not exactly.

Gwen: Then why do you look so happy?

Bonnie: Can you keep a secret?

[Sentimental music]

Abigail: I think aunt kayla might be able to help me get to the bottom of this.

Chad: How?

Abigail: Whatever snyder had on gwen might still be in his office.

Chad: Abs, uh, are you sure you wanna do this?

Abigail: I have to. For dad.

[Cell phone blips]

Nicole: So by the time I got the letter, it was already out of the envelope. I never saw a postmark.

Steve: But you read the letter. Was there anything in there that could have given you any idea of where she might be?

Nicole: No. Look, I wish I could help. I am sick of that woman getting away with murder.

Steve: Maybe you can help.

Nicole: What are you doing?

Steve: If ej has been in contact with kristen, it would be in here.

Nicole: Okay, if he found out you were messing with his phone…

Steve: You gonna tell him?

Kayla: Kristen locked you up and stole your life. Wouldn’t you like to repay the favor?

Nicole: Well, what about the passcode?

Steve: There are ways around that.

Nicole: All right, fine, just hurry up, okay?

[Tense music]

I thought I was managing my moderate

Abigail: Okay, I am going to turn this off.

Chad: I thought you were waiting to hear from kayla.

Abigail: Oh, it can wait till morning. Want some more wine?

Chad: Yes, thank you.

Abigail: Mm-hmm. Chad.

Chad: I am right here.

Abigail: Uh-huh. Before, you were talking about us focusing more on us and the kids.

Chad: No, no, no, forget–forget what I said. You gotta–you gotta look after your dad. It is what it is. You gotta-you gotta do what you gotta do.

Abigail: I will, but I don’t think that that means that we can’t focus on us and the kids. You know, all the stuff with dad and gwen has just been really weighing me down, but…

Chad: I can tell.

Abigail: But tonight, I just felt like I was able to talk to you about it, and you really listened. And it really helped me sort things out, and… you know… it just felt like before. Felt like we were us again, and… I want it to stay that way.

Chad: Not as much as I do.

Abigail: Starting to feel like home again.

Chad: Thank god.

Kayla: He’s coming! He’s coming! He’s coming!

Ej: What’s going on here?

[Tense music]

Jack: What’s more complicated than I think?

Justin: If gwen was a sex worker, what was snyder using to blackmail her? Or was that all a lie? Or maybe she was just like every other drug runner–in it for the money.

Xander: No, he was blackmailing her. She’d never do it otherwise. She hates drugs because of her mother.

Justin: So what did snyder have on this paragon of virtue?

Xander: Don’t talk about her like that!

Justin: Well, how the hell am I supposed to talk about her?

Xander: Her life was hell! But now she has one thing that matters to her–after all these years, she finally has a father who loves her, and I’m not doing or saying anything to screw that up.

Justin: So she told jack that she was a sex worker, meaning that that wasn’t as bad as what snyder was using to blackmail her. What the hell did she do?

Xander: Can’t tell you. I promised her I wouldn’T.

Justin: So you do know what she did. And you know why– that she would do anything to keep jack from finding it out. Now that xander’s confessed to a crime he didn’t commit, telling the truth could open a whole can of worms. Trust me. You don’t want to go there.

Gwen: Justin told you that trask might be dropping the charges against the four of us.

Bonnie: That’s right.

Gwen: Why?

Bonnie: Hell if I know. But it’s gotta be something really big. Mm-hmm.

[Both laugh excitedly]

Ej: Why are the two of you still here?

Nicole: Actually, they were just leaving.

Kayla: Well, I wanted to see about maybe paying for your dry cleaning.

Ej: Not necessary. Now, if you’ll excuse us–

Steve: All right, all right. We’re on our way out.

Kayla: I need my things.

Steve: I’ll get your things. Sorry to interrupt.

Kayla: Thank you.

Steve: I’m really sorry.

Kayla: I’ll get the door.

Steve: Okay.

Ej: God, I hate them.

Nicole: They’re–they’re gone now, so let’S… let’s just forget it.

Kayla: Well?

Steve: Got it. If I can trace it, track kristen down in time, justin and bonnie and gwen and xander will go free, and kristen dimera will be in jail, where she belongs.

Kayla: Good.

Finn: Kelly still napping?

Steffy: Mm-hm. Gotta rest up for mommy and daddy time.

Finn: How long until liam gets here?

Steffy: Ah ha… any time now. Hope’s coming, too.

Finn: Ooh, maybe they’ll hit some traffic.

Steffy: Maybe or they could be walking in right now.

[Car doors slam]

Finn: Just when things were getting good.

Steffy: We can pick this up later.

Finn: Count on it.

Liam: Hello, hello.

Steffy: Hi.

Liam: What’s goin’ on here?

Finn: Oh, what?

Hope: We interrupting anything?

Steffy: No, no, you came at the right time.

Brooke: You’ve been quiet since we left the restaurant.

Donna: Brunch with my sisters usually cheers me up.

Brooke: Seems like it had the opposite effect.

Donna: No, it’s just um… you know, katie was talking about confronting carter. Defending eric like that. I want to do that too. Eric needs all of our support.

Eric: Did I hear my name?

Brooke: You did.

Eric: What have I done now?

Brooke: You’ve just been on our minds.

Donna: You always are.

Carter: Sorry we had to rush back here.

Katie: That’s fine. I had no idea it was gonna take us so long to get our food.

Carter: Yeah, have to do lunch and work at the same time.

Katie: Yeah, you know um, I can give you some utensils if you want to take your lunch back to your office.

Carter: Or we can eat together if that’s all right with you.

Katie: Yeah, that’s okay with me.

Deacon: Stupid waste…

Sheila: Would you stop? You’re grumbling. I told you lunch is on me.

Deacon: Look, you’ve already given me a place to stay. I don’t want to owe you for anything else.

Sheila: I think what you really meant to say right there is, “thank you, sheila.”

Deacon: Thank you, sheila. I am grateful, okay? But you’ve done enough. I think it’s time for me to leave L.A.. looked, I listened to everything you had to say but there’s no sense in sticking around here for something that’s never gonna happen. I wanna see my daughter, but hope’s family, they are never gonna let us be close.

Carter: Katie, these projections are right on the money.

Katie: Well, business 101: Never over-promise.

Carter: Ah, set attainable goals. I can use a lesson in that.

Katie: You know, carter, if I had known how you really feel, I never would have come down on you so hard about quinn.

Carter: And I shouldn’t have made conclusions about you. But we did have a great conversation, though.

Katie: Yeah, you know, once we got the yelling out of the way.

Carter: Yeah, well I did deserve to be yelled at. You care about eric a lot.

Katie: Yeah, I do.

Carter: Me too. Even if my involvement with his wife makes that hard to believe.

Katie: I believe you. I know what it’s like to fall for the wrong person.

Donna: We weren’t gossiping about you or anything.

Brooke: We’ve been worried, eric.

Eric: I’m well aware how you feel about my marriage to quinn.

Donna: No, it’s not that, it’s just, um… we’re concerned about you. Are you happy, eric?

Eric: Donna, I love how much you and your sisters care about me. I’m very lucky to have so many people looking out for me. Thank you.

Charlie: Uh… ahem. Cough. Sorry to interrupt, boss. But– pammy’s on another call but she wanted me to remind you you have a meeting in the cutting room.

Eric: Aha. Thank you. Thanks, charlie. Thank you. Well, I won’t keep them waiting.

Steffy: Kelly should be up from her nap soon.

Finn: Yeah, she didn’t want to close her eyes, she was so excited about today.

Steffy: Finn told kelly the sooner she fell asleep, the sooner she’d be able to wake up and get to hang out with her mommy and daddy. She’s really excited.

Liam: Oh, good move.

Finn: Yeah, thanks man. Okay. I’m– I should get going.

Steffy: Okay. Bye.

Liam: You going to the hospital?

Finn: Yeah, at some point. I’m going to get some food first.

Hope: Oh, that sounds good. I have been craving il giardino lately.

Finn: You wanna go together?

Hope: Uh, right now? I mean, yeah if… yeah?

Liam: Yeah, go.

Steffy: Yeah, sounds like fun. We’ll see you later.

Liam: Just stay out of trouble.

Hope: Okay. Bye.

Steffy: Bye.

Sheila: So, you’re giving up?

Deacon: Look, I’ve already caused hope so much pain. The last thing I want to do is make her life more difficult.

Sheila: It was her family making things difficult, not you.

Deacon: Well, I’m not going to win hope over by defying her family. A’right, maybe– maybe it’s just better if I go.

Sheila: No. No. I’m not letting you leave. What’s the #1 retinol brand

Carter: I’m not making excuses but I want to be clear. When I fell for quinn, my relationship with zoe had uh… it went down in flames and I don’t think I realized how devastated I was.

Katie: Rebounding with eric’s wife might have been a little extreme.

Carter: It was very extreme. Still, there was this intense connection. That’s why I asked her to run away with me.

Katie: It’s hard putting your faith in someone that you can’t rely on.

Carter: Yeah, I had a lot of time alone to think about that. Days are fine… it’s going home to an empty house.

Katie: Sounds like you hate being alone almost as much as I do.

Charlie: So neither of you have seen quinn?

Brooke: No… what has she done now?

Charlie: Oh, nothing. It’s just a shipment of jewels came in and she needs to sign for it.

Brooke: So, nothing strange is going on?

Charlie: No, no, nothing strange with mrs. F. She’s– she’s just a touch hard to keep track of these days. Yeah, but… any who, I’m sure she’s lurking somewhere and I’ll find her. But, thanks ladies.

Donna: Lurking. As I was saying, eric deserves so much better.

Brooke: We have to do something.

Donna: What can we do?

Brooke: Not we. You.

Donna: Me?

Brooke: Honey if you still have feelings for eric, you have to let him know.

Donna: Oh… uh…

Liam: How is this even– how did I lose again? You just sit there and you eat your cheese puff things, no mercy for your dear old dad. Ruthless. Just ruthless.

Steffy: She was taking it easy on you. But honestly, you really, really suck at this.

Liam: I am not– I do not. I do not suck at this. I think you two are in cahoots against me. I think that’s what’s happening right now.

Kelly: No.

All right, all right, fine. Well I’ll tell you what. When hayes wakes up, he’s gonna be on my team and then we’ll see who wins. What do you think about that?

Steffy: Actually, when hayes& wakes up, we should go down to the beach and have a picnic.

Liam: That is not a bad idea. Yeah. Although, that doesn’t give me much time to redeem myself so shuffle up mom. I’m going to show you what’s what.

Steffy: I don’t know about that. Daddy has no idea what he’s doing.

Liam: I know how to play the game.

Steffy: Do you?

Liam: It’s just physics. I just don’t– it’s like–

Steffy: Mm-hm.

Sheila: If you leave now, you’re a fool.

Deacon: Sheila, I didn’t come back here to cause problems for my kid.

Sheila: God, you know what I hate more than somebody who’s negative, deacon? A whiner. What are you going to do, huh? You gonna quit? Are you gonna crawl back into that bottle? Maybe– maybe even go back to jail?

Deacon: Staying here is a dead end for us. For both of us. You love your son. I love my daughter. But sheila, we’re screw ups. Get it? They’re good. They’re happy. Let’s leave them the hell alone.

Sheila: No, no, we were screw ups. My son loves me. He put my grandson in my arms. And if it weren’t for steffy and that horrible, unforgiving family, I’d be sitting here having lunch with him right now. I’m not gonna let anyone keep me from my son or my grandson because we’re family and I will never give up on being a part of his life.

Deacon: Good luck with that.

Sheila: Woah-woah-woah-woah! Where are you going?

Deacon: I told you. I’m out of here.

Sheila: Oh no. No. You can not– sit down.

Deacon: Sheila, don’t order me around–

Sheila: Look. They’re here. Our children are right here.

See blood when you brush or

floss

Carter: Mm. When does will get a break from boarding school?

Katie: Oh, not soon enough. Though, I’m not going to complain. He’s really happy there.

Carter: What about you? Before you talked about bill…

Katie: Well, surprise, surprise, he wants me back. And uh, he’s pretty determined…

Carter: Well, I can understand him not wanting to lose you.

Katie: Yeah, well um, bill doesn’t like to lose anything. Ever.

Carter: If bill can’t put you first, you deserve somebody who will.

Katie: I’m gonna tell you something. And I haven’t said this to anyone. I haven’t told even my sisters. I haven’t even really said it out loud. I’m not going back to bill. Our relationship is over. I have got to believe that there’s another man out there for me. A better man.

Donna: I am not going to tell eric how I feel about him. He’s married!

Brooke: He’s married to quinn. Donna, eric is the love of your life. And you don’t want to see him hurting this way. You and eric have had some wonderful times together, honey. Good things are worth fighting for. And you and eric, you were very, very good together.

Liam: Is kelly getting hayes ready for the beach?

Steffy: Yep, she is picking out his outfit.

Liam: Oh, my god. Girl’s got fashion in her blood.

Steffy: That is true, but she may end up coming out with like, a ski-suit or something.

Liam: And her mother’s eclectic taste, apparently.

Steffy: And her father’s desire to help with everything.

Liam: That’s– well… yeah, okay.

Steffy: Mm-hm.

Liam: She’s pretty special, isn’t she?

Steffy: Yeah. This is really wonderful, you know? That we’re able to come together like this. And I know we would do anything for our children.

Liam: Well, that’s the idea, right? Whatever it takes to make them happy.

Steffy: To keep them safe. Especially from sheila and deacon.

Sheila: Get down before they see you.

Deacon: So, that’s your son?

Sheila: Having lunch with your daughter.

Hope: Oh, thank you.

Sheila: I didn’t know that that hope and finn were so close.

Deacon: What is going on in that diabolical head of yours, sheila?

Sheila: And you wanted to give up. Look at this, right in front of us. Finn wants to see me. Hope wants to see you. Maybe that’s it! Oh, this could be the answer we were waiting for.

Trelegy for copd.

Katie: Ugh, god, the idea of dating again, putting myself out there.

Carter: Yeah, yeah. If only there were apps for that.

Katie: Oh, that sounds awful. You know, I– I like the idea of being desired and having a man who wants me and only me. And having a real connection with somebody.

Carter: Then hold out for that. Don’t settle for anything less.

Katie: Okay, you too.

Carter: Hm. I might need some time to regroup.

Katie: Well, don’t take too much time. And don’t waste your time thinking about quinn. It’s not worth it. And stop thinking of yourself as the guy who always gets left behind because it’s not true. You’re smart, successful… easy on the eyes, not lying. And you’re kind. Anyone would be lucky to be with a man like you.

Brooke: Eric is down in the cutting room so just go talk to him. Tell him what you told me. Okay, maybe it won’t change anything but at least he’ll know how you feel.

Donna: No, eric and I are friends and I– I… I respect his choices, okay? Even if I don’t agree with them.

Brooke: Even if his choices make him miserable? Oh, come on, donna. He needs to be saved from quinn.

Donna: No. I am not going to interfere with their marriage.

Brooke: Oh, stop, stop it! Just admit it, already. You love him, don’t you?

Donna: Yes. Yes, I love eric. My god! I’m always going to love eric.

Deacon: They haven’t seen us.

Sheila: Not yet.

Deacon: Do we want them to? Sheila, what are you thinking? I don’t even want to know, do I?

Finn: I can’t remember the last time I came to a restaurant without having to ask for a booster seat or a kid’s menu.

Hope: Well, do you and steffy ever go out without the kids?

Finn: Yeah, yeah. We just um, have been staying a lot closer to home lately.

Hope: Ah, well, family meals are the best.

Finn: Yeah, I look forward to them all day.

Hope: I don’t believe it.

Finn: No, yeah. I’ve had a long day.

Hope: No, finn. My dad. He’s here.

Finn: Your dad? Where?

Hope: And he is with…

Finn: My mom?

Deacon: Well, they saw us.

Sheila: Well, let’s just act like we haven’t noticed them.

Deacon: Why?

Finn: Did you know they’d be here?

Hope: No. I mean– my dad barely knows sheila. I mean, he’s certainly not friends with her.

Then what are they doing here, together?

Sheila: Finn wants to come over here. I know he does. I mean, he’s under orders from steffy to stay away.

Deacon: See, see, that’s the problem. It’s impossible. Even if I could get hope to talk to me, liam and her family, they’d always be in our way. There’s nothing we can do.

Sheila: Yes, there is.

Finn: We haven’t ordered yet. Let’s just– let’s just go.

> Hope: Don’t you want to know what they’re doing here?

Finn: Liam and steffy, they don’t want us anywhere near them.

Hope: I kind of want to know what they’re up to.

Sheila: They’re our children. Let’s ask them to join us.

Deacon: Join us? They’re not gonna join us, they’re gonna bolt.

Sheila: Well, that can’t happen. We can’t– we can’t let that happen. This is our chance. Go with me.

Deacon: What? N–

Hope: Oh, my gosh. Look.

Deacon: Sheila, what the hell?

Sheila: You love me. You love me like no other.

Deacon: I love you?

Sheila: Yes.

Deacon: Okay.

Finn: Oh, my god, what are they doing?

Hope: I don’t know. I don’t know.

[Laughter]

Katie: Oh, god.

Donna: Oh, when was the last time the three of us had brunch together like this?

Katie: If that’s your way of saying we should do this more often, I agreE.

Brooke: Me, too.

Donna: So, how did it go? Did you talk to carter?

Katie: Yes.

Donna: Well, I hope you gave him a piece of your mind.

Katie: I did.

Donna: About you know, everything that happened with quinn, especially.

Brooke: How it impacted eric.

Katie: Yeah, absolutely, of course I did.

Donna: And?

Brooke: And?

Katie: And, I was a little surprised.

Donna: About what?

Katie: Carter. His feelings for quinn. He really loved her.

Carter: So, I’ll rewrite the exclusivity clause. Make the changes you suggested. And then run it by both you and ridge before I incorporate it in the final document.

Eric: I’d like for you to run this by quinn as well. It’s about the jewelry line after all.

Ridge: Where is the lovely quinn, anyway?

Eric: Ridge, come on–

Ridge: Ah, just still hoping you’re going to kick her to the curb.

Eric: Yes, I’m well aware of that. You feeling the same way, carter?

Carter: Excuse me?

Ridge: I think my dad is asking if you share my opinion on his marriage.

Eric: Actually, I’m a little more curious about your feelings about quinn. Whether you’ve moved on… or not.

Hope: I wonder where zende and paris are? I mean, they knew about this meeting, right?

Thomas: Uh… yeah. I mean i can text them and find out though i’m pretty sure I already know where they are.

Hope: You do?

Thomas: Yeah, zende had this whole big, special event planned for him and paris last night. Took her back to his place. Pretty sure that she’s still there. So…

Paris: Last night was…

Zende: I think “off the charts” works. For me, anyway.

Paris: “Off the charts incredible.” Our first time…

Zende: Definitely not our last.

Hope: It’s really not a big deal but have you seen them?

Charlie: Zende and paris? Uh no, can’t say as I have. But you know, I’ve been kinda busy keeping this well-oiled machine… well-oiled, you know.

Hope: Oh, well, I– by all means, don’t let us hold you up.

Charlie: Uh, no, no. Listen, uh I’ll keep an eye out for ’em. If I see ’em, I’ll let you know.

Hope: Thank you, charlie.

Thomas: I mean, can you believe it? Like, seriously. Can you believe it? The first night I’m roommates with paris, she’s off with my cousin.

Hope: Mm. Well, it seems as if whatever big plans zende had for the two of them certainly turned out to be a memorable evening.

Paris: As much as I’d love to stay here all day like this–

Zende: Don’t say it–

Paris: We have responsibilities that we can’t ignore.

Zende: Hey. Let me help you forget them.

Paris: We’re already late for our hope for the future meeting.

Zende: Just so you know: I’ve found my hope for the future.

Eric: It’s a simple enough question, carter. Or should be.

Carter: What my feelings are for quinn? Um, not sure how to answer that.

Eric: Answer it honestly, carter.

Carter: Okay. It’s no secret that I cared for quinn. What she and I shared was deeper than just a physical connection.

Katie: Carter told me that he fell for quinn– hard. At least, he thought it was love. And looking back…

Donna: Maybe it wasn’t love at all?

Brooke: Well, whatever it was, I mean, who would’ve thought a decent man like carter would ever have those kinds of feelings for somebody like quinn…?

Donna: You know, I-I don’t get it. Not one bit. But, I guess it does help explain why carter made some of the choices he did. Because if it were strictly physical–

Katie: No, apparently it was not. He was following his heart. Something you know a little bit about.

Brooke: Sounds like carter really got to you.

Katie: Yeah, he kind of did. I mean, I walked in there ready to blast him for what he’d done. But then I found myself empathizing with him. And even more surprisingly: I realized that we had more in common than either one of us would’ve thought. Feeling stressed in your skin?

Thomas: Yeah, I like the color.

Hope: Oh, charlie. Hey.

Charlie: Pardon moi. It’s french. Listen, I have searched the gate records, the parking lot footage– zende and paris are nowhere to be found. Want me to send out an apb?

Hope: Oh. Oh no. No. I think it’s, it’s okay. I’m sure they’ll be here any minute.

Charlie: Okay, well, if you change your mind, you know where to find me… in my office. Keeping forrester safe… and secure. Free from nefarious characters.

Hope: Huh.

Thomas: Don’t want those nefarious characters coming around. So this is zende’s latest?

Hope: Uh, yup. Why?

Thomas: Well, I just. It’s interesting. I mean, zende never does anything this asymmetrcal.

Hope: Hmm. And what do you think?

Thomas: I think he’s got something here.

Hope: Agreed. Oh, there they are. We were about to send out a search party.

Zende: I’m sorry I’m late. Time… got away from us.

Hope: Well, I can’t imagine what would be more important than a design meeting. I hope there’s a good explanation.

Zende: Uh, we… overslept?

Hope: Mmm… overslept. Interesting.

Paris: Again, we’re so sorry. It won’t happen again.

Zende: So… what did we miss?

Thomas: Why don’t you two talk about that. I have something I need to run by paris in the design office.

Zende: Uh, hope, I really do apologize–

Hope: You know what, zende? It’s okay, I’m totally messing with you. Zende: Oh, don’t do that. You had me going there. Oy, yoy-yoy, yoy-yoy!

Hope: No, I’m really happy about you and paris. It’s just, you know, for future reference, um… “we overslept,” is not the best excuse in the book. You can do better.

Zende: You know, don’t you?

Hope: Well, thomas might have told me that paris did not come back to the apartment last night. And the rest–

Zende: What can I say? It was an unforgettable evening. In fact, I’m starting to see my future a lot more clearly now. And it’s all about paris.

Ridge: It seems that carter doesn’t want to have this conversation.

Carter: I do. I have to. Your father needs me to be completely honest with him and you do too and that’s what I intend to do.

Eric: Have you been able to move on?

Carter: I’m in the process. Yes. But you need to know, eric, that the connection that quinn and I shared– it’s over. Should’ve never been there from the start. Your marriage– whatever was going on between you and quinn at the time, whatever was going on with me should’ve never led to what it did between us. And I realized that what you said you were okay with, that it wasn’t okay. Me and quinn being together when you couldn’t– you were thinking about her needs, but… look, I’ll forever be deeply sorry for all of it. I hope you believe that, the both of you.

Eric: We do. I do have to wonder though if you might have some residual feelings for quinn, and if, perhaps, you always will.

Katie: I can see you’re both surprised… to find out that carter and i have more in common than either one of us thought.

Donna: Mm-hm.

Katie: Of course, I realized that after I had blasted him and he gave it right back to me.

Donna: Gave it right back to you?

Katie: Well, he talked about how I was lucky in love which is ridiculous. Like, being married to bill was some cakewalk. No drama at all. I mean, that’s insane.

Donna: Sounds like carter hit a nerve with you.

Katie: It’s probably because I had an unexpected visit from bill before I went to go see him. I set him straight. Told him about everything I’ve been through. And how painful it’s been, especially with will away at boarding school. I’m lonely. Work is great, you know. It’s busy, I- I love it. But then I go home to an empty house. Honestly, it was kind of cathartic. I think it was for carter, too. You know, he– he doesn’t want to be a bachelor. He wants to find someone to spend his life with and so do I. And more and more, I– I’m just not sure that that person is bill. What’s the #1 retinol brand

Katie: Okay, enough about me. I want to hear about you guys. I imagine everything is well with you and ridge?

Brooke: Yes, you imagined right.

[Chuckling] Although we are concerned that sheila has slithered back into our lives. And if that’s not alarming enough, deacon is back in town, too.

Katie: We heard.

Brooke: That’s why we’re determined to protect our children. Whatever it takes.

Donna: Meanwhile, my life is so boring that um… I’ve reorganized my closet for like the hundredth time.

Brooke: Ooh!

Katie: Well, you know there’s a solve for that. You can come over and reorganize our closets. No, no, I’m just kidding. You gotta put yourself out there. Find yourself a new guy.

Donna: Oh yeah, believe me, I wish I could but really, there’s only one man for me. My honey bear.

Carter: The last time I spoke to quinn, she made it abundantly clear that she’s committed to you and your marriage.

Ridge: And you believed her?

Carter: Yes.

Ridge: Ah, come on, carter.

Carter: Despite her flaws and mine, we’ve always been truthful with each other. Just like I am with you now. Quinn and I are done. I’m looking forward… not back.

Zende: Look, I’m not one to kiss and tell but since you already figured it out I will admit that paris and I took things to the next level last night.

Hope: Well, I am happy for you, zende… for both of you.

Zende: Me, too. I haven’t felt like this in… and it’s all because of paris, how amazing she is.

Hope: Yeah, I know, she’s pretty great. Even your curmudgeonly cousin, thomas, sees she’s special.

Thomas: You know, contributions to the forrester foundation have doubled in less than a year. Doesn’t really take a genius to figure out why.

Paris: I hope you know that you’re embarrassing me big time.

Thomas: I hope you know that we appreciate you, big time. Though if you start, mm… showing up late with these excuses, like, “I slept in,”… I know you didn’t come home last night. On the outside, I looked fine.

Zende: I know that we need to get to work but can I ask you a quick question, first?

Hope: Sure.

Zende: It’s about thomas. You know my cousin better than anyone.

Hope: I guess that’s fair to say. Yeah.

Zende: Now, I’m not really… insecure but I don’t want to be naive, either.

Hope: About?

Zende: Thomas and paris living together. Do I need to be concerned?

Hope: I spoke to thomas and he is happy for both you and paris.

Thomas: So, I assume that zende poured on the charm and cranked up the romance…

Paris: You make it sound like he has a play-book.

Thomas: Well if he does have a playbook, I should probably take a page out of it. He seems to be doing pretty well in the romance department. He seems to be really happy. And then it’s no wonder why, with such an incredible woman by his side.

Paris: You’re sweet.

Thomas: Zende is one hell of a lucky guy.

Ridge: I have to tell you, dad. I’m still conflicted about carter.

Eric: Well, you need to try to get over that. This whole business is behind us now. Look, I still believe in carter. He’s a fine man. He’ll– he’ll find love. He’ll find the right woman… maybe sooner than we think.

Donna: I’ve only ever known true love once… when I was with eric.

Katie: Oh. Why don’t you tell him how you feel?

Donna: And then what? I mean, come on, it’s not like he’s gonna leave quinn for me.

Brooke: How do you know?

Katie: Yeah.

Donna: Look, I just want eric to be happy. That’s all.

Brooke: He’s never gonna truly by happy with quinn.

Donna: Begging the question. How does a woman like quinn get two terrific guys like eric and carter?

Katie: I have no idea.

Brooke: Oh, god. I’m just glad you had a chance to talk to carter.

Katie: Me too. You know, despite everything that happened with quinn, he’s a good man–

Donna: Not to mention drop dead gorgeous.

Katie: Not to mention that.

Brooke: Oh my goodness. You know, guys, I’m gonna be late for my appointment. I’ve really got to get going.

Donna: Oh my gosh, I totally forgot. I have one too.

Katie: Go, go, go. I will take care of the check. My treat.

Donna: Oh, thank you!

Brooke: Are you sure? Thanks. It was great catching up.

Katie: I know, I’ll see you soon. All right, love you.

Brooke: Love you.

Donna: Love you, love you.

Brooke: Love you more.

Carter: I’m hurting, kate.

Katie: Don’t give up.

Carter: On what?

Kate: On love.

Carter: Maybe my destiny is to be alone.

Katie: You know what I think? I think there’s no such thing as destiny. I think it’s all just luck. Maybe we’re unlucky.

Carter: Hm.

Katie: Unlucky in love.

Carter: Mind if I join you?

Katie: Hi.

Carter: Hey. Thought I’d grab a quick bite before heading back to the office. Uh… by yourself?

Katie: Uh, actually, I was with my sisters. I was just paying the check.

Carter: Okay, then it’s lunch by myself, then.

Katie: You know um, I just really did a lot of talking with them, I didn’t do a lot of eating so I’m still kind of hungry. Do you want to sit down?

Carter: Yeah, yeah. I gotta admit that I get a little self-conscious sometimes eating alone.

Katie: I’ve gotten pretty good at it but it’s always nice to have company. I have to apologize to you again for going off on you about quinn.

Carter: I understand. You care about eric.

Katie: Yeah, I do but still–

Carter: No, no, katie, it’s fine. You’re a very passionate woman. That much was very clear last night. Besides, I should be apologizing to you. Making assumptions about you, and your life, none of which were true. Thanks for setting me straight.

Katie: Well, thanks for setting me straight. I came to your apartment with a very different attitude about you but I realized that we have a lot more in common than we what we thought.

Carter: It’s not fun being alone, is it?

Katie: We’re not alone now.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Abe and Paulina plan their wedding at Paulina’s apartment. Abe says he wants to do whatever makes her happy. Paulina says he’s so good to her and mentions having a mile long list of things to do for the wedding. Abe says he did his part in proposing as he praises her and says nothing else matters. Paulina wants her wedding to be as perfect as him. Abe then agrees to help her with the lists.

Jake sits in bed looking worried. He reaches under the bed and pulls out his gun. Jake remarks that Philip better watch his back because there’s no way in Hell that he’s going to let him steal Gabi’s company from her. Gabi then comes in to the room.

Ben and Ciara kiss in bed until Ciara asks him what’s wrong. Ben says absolutely nothing and talks about enjoying the baby making process.

Marlena with the Devil inside her sits at home, texting Ben that she was very encouraged by their session and hopes he felt the same way, then asks how the procreation is going. Marlena/the Devil remarks that they want the process to move along quickly since Ciara and Ben’s child is most important to the plan. John then walks in and questions who Marlena is talking to.

Lani gets up from bed and finds Eli finishing their key lime pie. Lani jokes that he can ask Chanel to come over and bake him another one. Eli jokes that then he couldn’t sit around half naked. Lani jokes that would be tragic as she sits with him and they kiss.

Gabi questions what Jake was doing as he puts his gun back under the bed. Gabi mentions how they hardly slept and blames Philip for keeping them up. Gabi declares that they need to stop Philip as there’s no way Jake is going to prison and there’s no way she’s giving up her company. Jake says that’s not going to happen. Gabi feels they need a plan and wonders what they can do to stop him. Jake responds that the only thing on his mind right now is her looking sexy. Jake tells Gabi that he would do anything to make her happy as they kiss.

Paulina tells Abe that they won’t need to worry about wedding cake as Chanel will be in charge with the bakery. Abe suggests Marlena officiate their wedding. Paulina thinks back to revealing her secrets to Marlena that she is Lani’s mother and Abe is not her father. Abe questions if she doesn’t like the idea of Marlena marrying them. Paulina jokes about Marlena being a shrink and marrying them. Abe remarks that there is a lot more to Marlena than meets the eye.

Marlena claims she didn’t hear John and that she was just speaking to a colleague about his plans for the future. John thought he heard a man’s voice. Marlena claims she had him on speaker and asks if he has any more questions. John apologizes and comments on Marlena getting up early this morning. Julie then shows up at their door. John asks how she is. Julie responds that she’s not good and won’t be any better until she gets Marlena’s permission to see Doug.

Ben and Ciara lay in bed after having sex. Ben asks if she thinks they made a baby this time. Ciara jokes that compared to last time, there were no gusts of wind or candles blowing out but she calls it her own spiritual experience. They say I love you to each other as they kiss. Ben adds that he already loves their baby and that they’re just going to have to keep trying. They decide to get up and shower together.

Eli and Lani continue kissing at home. Lani talks about how she thought their time together would get lost with their babies but they are making it work. Eli says they will be on honeymoon for life. They talk about Abe and Paulina being together. Lani says it was nice celebrating them as they are crazy in love. Eli laughs at the idea of Lani calling Paulina “mama”.

Abe reminds Paulina that he officiated John and Marlena’s wedding, so Marlena made him promise to let her return the favor if he ever tied the knot again. Paulina acknowledges that it means a lot to him so she agrees to it. Abe thanks her as they kiss. Abe suggests they go to John and Marlena’s to get on the road to happily ever after.

Marlena tells Julie that she’s sorry that she’s upset. Julie doesn’t care and wants to see Doug today. Marlena responds that she can’t let her or anyone else see Doug right now. Julie asks why the hell not. Marlena claims that he tried to kill Julie by slamming her over the head with a tray. Julie argues that she still wants to see her husband. Marlena says seeing her might set him off. Julie argues that Marlena could be wrong and she knows her husband better than she does. Julie doesn’t get how seeing her wouldn’t make him feel better. Marlena tells her no. John asks if one visit can really hurt since Doug is sedated and would be supervised. Marlena thinks she knows what is best for her patient. John says he was just trying to help. Marlena asks Julie if there’s anything else. Julie questions what gave Marlena the right to play God with people’s lives. Marlena claims that playing God is the last thing she wants to do, but asks what if Doug stabbed her in the heart. Julie calls that ridiculous and says Marlena is treating Doug like a patient instead of a friend. Marlena argues that she has to be objective. Julie asks what if it was John and she wasn’t able to see him. Marlena hopes someone would do something to help him if he tried to kill her. Marlena claims that she has all of their best interests at heart and that if there’s any change in Doug, she’ll let her know. Julie feels sick that she ever let Marlena talk her in to signing the commitment papers. Julie declares this is not over as she storms out. Abe and Paulina then arrive. Abe questions what that was about as Julie seemed pretty upset. John explains that Julie wants to visit Doug at Bayview. Marlena adds that she had to tell her that Doug is a danger to himself and others. Paulina mentions that Doug seemed so harmless.

Lani agrees with Eli that Paulina asking her to call her “mama” was definitely weird. Eli doesn’t think it will come up again. Lani knows it comes from a place of love but Paulina can overstep.

John asks what brings Abe and Paulina back. They reveal that they are getting married. John is excited so Marlena goes along with it. Abe says they would be honored if Marlena would perform the ceremony. Marlena says that before she agrees, there is something he needs to know.

Jake and Gabi to the Brady Pub. Ben and Ciara walk by and greet them. Ciara says she’s really glad that she ran in to them as she wanted to talk to Gabi about something. Jake calls it perfect timing as he has to chat with Ben about something. Jake tells the girls to go ahead inside and they will meet them in a few. Gabi and Ciara then enter the Pub. Ben asks Jake what’s going on. Jake tells him that he’s in a bit of a situation and reveals his gun. Ben questions what the hell he’s doing with that. Jake responds that someone is trying to hurt Gabi and he has to stop it.

Abe asks Marlena what he needs to know and jokingly asks what dark secrets she’s keeping from him. Marlena responds that it’s about Paulina, which worries her. Marlena explains that she got to thinking about Tamara and how she couldn’t possibly officiate over a wedding involving Paulina and her sister’s ex without knowing how she feels about it. Paulina assures that they have Tamara’s blessing. Marlena wants to hear it from Tamara and says then she would be thrilled to marry them. John suggests they celebrate with drinks. Abe wishes they could but they have to get ready for the wedding, starting with buying a suit. Paulina asks John to go with Abe, so she can stay and chat with Marlena about what they have in mind for the ceremony. John doesn’t know how much he can help but agrees to go. Paulina encourages keeping it simple so the groom doesn’t outshine his bride. Abe calls that impossible. John says they will be right back as he and Abe exit. Marlena guesses Paulina doesn’t want to talk about the ceremony which she confirms. Paulina remarks that Marlena had her sweating bullets just now by saying she had to talk to Abe. Paulina got the impression that Marlena was going to out her secret about lying to Abe and Lani. Marlena jokes that the thought did cross her mind.

Eli and Lani kiss at home until Julie shows up at the door. Eli asks if everything is okay. Julie complains that Marlena won’t let her see Doug. Lani thought the visitor restriction was just temporary. Julie responds that it’s become permanent and if this keeps up, Marlena won’t let her see him until Hell freezes over. Eli points out that Marlena is Doug’s doctor. Julie argues that she is his wife. Lani points out that he attacked her. Julie complains that everyone knows Doug is no danger, except Marlena. Julie remarks that if this keeps up, she’s going to end up the danger to others. Lani doesn’t think they can do anything if Marlena won’t allow it. Eli points out that actually there is.

Jake tells Ben that either Gabi signs the company over to Philip or Jake goes to prison and that Philip already has an eye witness, who is lying. Jake insists he did not kill anybody. Ben encourages him to relax. Jake thought he was done with this life but now here it is in his face, being used to hurt Gabi. Ben relates to trying to escape the man he was and says there’s nothing easy about it. Jake never thought he’d hold a gun again. Ben says there has to be another way. Jake says sometimes words don’t do the trick. Ben knows he wants to protect Gabi but promises that he’s doing the wrong thing even if it’s for the right reasons as nothing good can come of it.

Gabi and Ciara sit together in the Pub. Ciara enjoys her coffee and says she’s going to miss it as she informs Gabi that she and Ben are trying to get pregnant. Gabi says that’s great and asks if that’s what she wanted to talk to her about. Ciara says she actually wanted to talk to her about work because with the baby coming, she thought it might be good to have a fund so she talked to Victor about going to Titan. Ciara then reveals she wants to work at Gabi Chic. Gabi says that’s flattering but it’s not going to happen because Philip fired her. Ciara questions that he can do that. Gabi adds that Philip is trying to steal her company.

Jake argues that Gabi built her company from nothing while Philip has been handed everything in his life and is trying to take it away. Jake declares he won’t let it happen. Ben asks if Jake is planning to kill Philip Kiriakis.

Ciara argues that Philip must be crazy to fire Gabi and questions how there can be a Gabi Chic without her since she is the brand. Gabi says Philip is too stupid and greedy to realize as he thinks she can be replaced. Ciara asks if anything can be done about this. Gabi suggests she share her opinion with Victor since he’s the only person that Philip will listen to. Gabi warns that if Philip doesn’t start listening to reason very soon, then he will live to regret it..

Jake tells Ben that he’s never killed anybody before and doesn’t intend to start now. Ben asks if the gun is just a prop. Jake explains that it’s the only language some people understand, like Carmine Morino, who is the guy that Philip got to testify that he beat a man to death. Ben guesses that Carmine is the real killer which Jake confirms. Jake plans to convince Carmine to come to Salem for a sitdown so he can convince him that it’s in their best interest for him to keep his mouth shut. Ben asks what if he doesn’t keep his mouth shut. Jake hopes the threat of some heat might show him some reason. Jake gest a text from Carmine and says to wish him luck .Ben wants to go with him to watch his back. Jake tells Ben that he and Ciara are finally living happily so he’s not letting him anywhere near this. Ben doesn’t want him to go by himself but Jake assures he’ll be fine. Jake tells Ben to just tell Gabi that he had an appointment he had to keep. Jake then walks away.

Eli tells Julie that if Marlena is worried about her safety then he will go to Bayview with her and stay with her the entire time. Julie argues that it won’t help since Marlena’s order bans all visitors. Eli reveals that his badge will get them past doctor’s orders. Julie says that would be wonderful. Eli assures that they will go to Bayview and not take no for an answer as Julie hugs him.

Paulina argues that Marlena said what they talked about was private and protected by doctor-patient confidentiality. Marlena says that’s why she didn’t say anything to Abe. Paulina complains about Marlena saying it crossed her mind. Paulina says that won’t do and she has to know if she can trust her, or else they’ll have a big problem. Marlena remarks that she doesn’t have a problem of trust with her because she’s not the person she’s marrying. Marlena tells Paulina that before she marries Abe, she’s going to have to come clean and tell Abe and Lani the truth.

Abe and John have coffee in the town square. Abe apologizes for forgetting that the men’s store is not open today. John is glad because it gives them a chance to talk a little bit. Abe notes he seems preoccupied and asks what’s on his mind. John asks Abe if Marlena seemed like herself to him. Abe asks what he means. John talks about Marlena doing things that are out of character lately and brings up that she still won’t let Julie see Doug and took a hard stance that just made everything worse. Abe knows that Julie won’t want to listen to what she doesn’t want to hear. John says it’s more than that and adds that Marlena has an edge, even with him. John notes that she’s been off for quite awhile. John informs Abe about how Johnny’s movie is now all about Marlena’s possession. Abe doesn’t get it since they all agreed that chapter of their lives was best left in the past and that was the position that Marlena took. John says he thought so but then Marlena announced to Johnny that she was all on board. John adds that Marlena was engrossed in the script last night while wearing dark sunglasses. John reminds him about how Marlena was always trying to hide her eyes in the past. Abe asks John if he thinks Marlena is possessed again. John says he doesn’t think she’s possessed, but that she’s in trouble and needs his help, though he doesn’t know where to start. Abe asks when he first noticed her acting differently. John says it was right after her first session with Doug. Abe guesses it was upsetting for her to see Doug collapse in front of her. John talks about Marlena being fuzzy about what happened there and recalling that she forgot Doug threatened to kill Julie. John argues that Marlena is a professional and never loses her cool so something’s not right. Abe asks if he thinks there’s something she hasn’t told him. John is pretty sure there is something on Doug’s session tape that would tell a hell of a lot. Abe questions if he’s thinking of playing that tape, bringing up the ethics of that. John argues that he has to do something or he’ll never figure out what’s going on with his wife.

Paulina complains that a shrink is supposed to listen to people, not tell them what to do. Marlena argues that she’s known and cared about Abe longer than she has. Paulina responds that she loves Abe. Marlena asks what is love really and calls it honesty. Paulina brings up swearing to keep that secret to her grave as she might have her daughter but Abe would lose his. Paulina asks how she can break the heart of the best man she’s ever known. Marlena asks how she can vow to be true to Abe while he’s lying about being Lani’s mother. Paulina argues that it’s not like lightning will strike her through the chapel window. Marlena knows she’s a woman of faith, so she calls it imperative that she tells Abe and Lani the truth. Marlena remarks that if she doesn’t, then God have mercy on her soul.

Eli and Julie go to Bayview to see Doug. The worker says that Doug is not allowed visitors but Eli reveals his badge and says it’s a police matter.

Ben joins Ciara and Gabi in the Pub. Gabi asks where Jake is.

Jake meets Carmine in the park. Jake brings up hearing that Carmine is thinking of testifying that he killed Jed Zanetti when they both know that’s a lie. Carmine responds that it’s his word against Jake’s. Jake argues that they were both there, so it’s in his best interest to keep his mouth shut. Jake asks how much Philip is paying him. Carmine asks who said anyone is paying him. Jake questions why else he’d be lying about this. Carmine says he has nothing to say to him. Jake offers to pay him whatever Philip is paying him and then some. Carmine says he’s sorry but he’s not interested. Jake then pulls his gun on him and warns that if he lies about him, he’ll lose his life and asks if that works for him.

Paulina goes to see Lani, who asks what brings her by.

Marlena/The Devil sits at home and calls Paulina an arrogant fool, who should’ve listened to her instinct for self survival. Marlena remarks that now Paulina is going to tell Lani that she’s her mother and Abe’s not really her father and laughs that then all hell will break loose. Marlena then gets a call from Bayview. The nurse informs her that Julie is there with Eli, insisting on seeing Doug.

John goes to Marlena’s office at the hospital and breaks in to her drawer to retrieve the recording of Doug’s session. John asks God to forgive him but he has to get to the bottom of this. John then plays the tape.

Ben tells Gabi that Jake said he had something to take care of and he’d catch up with her later. Gabi asks if he said what it was. Ben responds that he just said it’s something that couldn’t wait.

Billy: I assure you, my amorous feelings are only about you. And I do not like the fact that you would question that.

Lily: Oh, please! You have been trying to stop this wedding for weeks, which is why you flew gaines here and bribed him and snuck him into the newman palazzo.

Billy: Okay, let me just say this. I am totally fine with the way things went, okay? And did I not prove that by deleting the video that gaines sent?

Lily: No, I’m very proud of you for taking the high road.

Billy: Thank you.

Lily: I am wondering, though, if maybe your ego’s a little bruised, and that’s why you want to avoid the party, to sulk?

Billy: Does it look like I’m sulking? No, I am celebrating the fact that I am here with you, and we are together because I love you. And if I have to take a slow spin on the dance floor in front of everyone or make an ass of myself doing the electric slide, I will do just that, just to show you how much I love you and how grateful I am that you put up with me. So, come on. Let’s go cut a rug.

Lily: [ Laughs ] Okay, fine. You’re right. And we don’t need an audience.

Billy: Hmm?

Lily: Oh.

Billy: Ah.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Elena: Oh, I don’t know why i feel like a teenager that just got caught making out at the school dance.

Sally: I don’t know why i feel like a stick-in-the-mud chaperone. Look — far be it from me to stifle romance. I just really didn’t want to be a casualty of your passion.

Nate: Ah, no, no worries about that.

Sally: Congratulations on a great speech, by the way. I heard it out here.

Nate: Thanks.

Elena: Oh, we owe you congratulations, as well. I heard that you designed victoria’s wedding dress. It’s incredible!

Sally: Thank you. I really appreciate you saying that.

Nate: So, uh, where’s your date?

Sally: Adam? Uh, he’s not my date, but he did promise to be my dance partner before he got called away on family business. I don’t know. It seems to be a thing with the newmans, and I’m not really quite sure what it means. But, anyway, I was just sitting out here, waiting for him. But I’m pretty sure now that i may have been stood up.

Phyllis: Hey, listen. I know it’s hard to be single at these kind of —

Jack: Oh, it’s not that. It’S…

Phyllis: Except it is.

Jack: Okay, you’re right. I can never lie to you. I find it annoying.

Phyllis: Really? I’m sorry about that.

Jack: It’s just been back-to-back weddings. You know, seven days of celebrating romance and perfect couples. And don’t get me wrong. I’m very happy for everyone, but it just gets to be a bit much.

Phyllis: Yeah. Is it a couple that’s annoying you, adam and sally?

Jack: No, not at all. No, I have no feelings for sally, except maybe embarrassment, the whole switcheroo with victoria’s wedding dress. Clearly, she can’t change.

Phyllis: Yeah, we agree on that. That’s for sure.

Jack: And just it’s weddings in general. It’S… yes, it gets a bit lonely when everyone’s navigating their way to the dance floor in perfect, little couples, and I’m standing there, holding my drink, talking to the minister. So, I slipped out.

Phyllis: It doesn’t have to be lonely because you have me. And I’ll be your wingman, and i can introduce you to —

Jack: My wingman? No, no, no. Thank you. No, thank you. I am sick of talking about my lack of a love life, especially with you. Now, let’s change the subject. Where’s nick?

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Uh…I came up here to check on him. But I’m gonna head back down, down to the reception.

Jack: He’s still refusing to see victoria, to be part of the festivities?

Phyllis: It’s worse than that. He went to go talk to his father to get some things off his chest, because it’s not a newman affair without a bunch of chaos and drama.

Adam: I’m not usually amenable to being kicked out, but in this case I will leave you two alone.

Victor: Alright, son. So, what do you need to get off your chest?

Nick: Where to begin? You kept me in the dark about gaines, about what he knew and the fact that he’s actually here, trying to disrupt the wedding.

Victor: Anything else?

Nick: You know, it was not long ago that you asked me to look into ashland’s past, which I did — and very successfully, by the way. You know, I found a lot of damaging information about ashland, and for reasons I still don’t understand, nobody seems to care about that. And it worked out just great for me because now I’m the bad guy, and victoria will barely talk to me.

Victor: Mm-hmm. What else?

Nick: Why are you not on my side on this? Why did you kick me out of the loop, and you turned to adam? And I guess the two of you are squashing this secret that gaines has that is protecting ashland? Is adam your go-to guy? He’s gonna do all your dirty work? Makes me think you’re back to your old tricks, dad, you know, that you’re playing your children against each other. And for what reason? You get some kind of entertainment out of it? Or is it a test of loyalty?

Victor: [ Laughs ] You finished?

Nick: Sure.

Victor: I kept you out of the loop, son, because you are here to mend fences with your sister. Knowing how you feel about ashland, I don’t think you would be too eager to help protect your brother-in-law. Were you? Am I right about that?

Nick: [ Sighs ]

Brushing only reaches

25% of your mouth.

Phyllis: You know, all the sudden, I don’t want to go to the party. Let’s go drink in my room. Ah! Why don’t we do what most italians do, which is drink prosecco — do this — and then jump in a fountain?

Jack: Well, it looks like you’ve already started the prosecco, and if you want to jump in a fountain, don’t let me get in your way. In fact, I’ll hold your shoes.

Phyllis: Oh, thanks! I think I’m just too frustrated and tired over all of these misunderstandings with nick, you know, to splash around in my bare feet.

Jack: Hey, seriously, I’m sorry you guys are fighting.

Phyllis: Oh, you know, we’re not really fighting. They’re just little squabbles, you know? He won’t let me help him.

Jack: Exactly what kind of help is he resisting?

Phyllis: You know, he tells me things that are going on with his family, of course, and, you know, I give my opinion, and he gets annoyed. And then I get annoyed that he doesn’t take my advice.

Jack: You know, there is a general rule of thumb that only family can complain about family.

Phyllis: Right.

Jack: Any of us chime in, they circle the wagons, and they tell us to stop complaining about the very person they’re upset with.

Phyllis: I know. Well, see, that’s exactly what he’s doing, because he’s criticizing victoria. And then, when I chime in, and i agree with him, he tells me not to be critical.

Jack: Yeah, I think we all do that. Well, here. What would say if, for example, I said, “well, nick is being very small. That’s awful! He’s terrible.”

Phyllis: I would say stop picking on poor nick.

Jack: There. I rest my case.

Phyllis: I don’t know how to help him. I guess this is the part of the relationship where it gets tricky. We’re trying to maneuver in between all the land mines.

Noah: I really do think you and mariah can work things out. But I hate seeing you so upset. I get it. My sister, she’s been through a lot. But, you know, it’s hard for the people that are there to support, too. It’s kind of like when you have a sick relative, and you’re putting in all this effort to help them feel better, but you don’t realize the toll that it’s taken on you. I know a lot of people close to my mom felt like that when she was sick, including me.

Tessa: I mean… I do feel really guilty being upset about the whole situation, when mariah was the one that went through all the trauma. I mean, she was abducted. And then she had a baby. And then, after all of that, she had to give the baby back to the biological mom. What right do I have to be upset?

Noah: I get it. But it also must have been pretty hard when mariah asked you to have a baby right away just to help her feel better. I mean, that’s a huge decision, and it’s not one that should be made quickly or lightly.

Nate: How about we all go back to the party? And you and I could share a dance, if that’s okay with you.

Elena: Sure. Why not?

Sally: I really appreciate the offer, but the only thing worse than being alone is being a third wheel. So, really, you guys should finish your romantic evening, and, if I may suggest, you guys should take a moonlit walk through the garden.

Nate: But we don’t want to leave you alone.

Sally: No, really, go. Don’t worry about me. I’m just gonna grab a piece of the delicious cake and turn in.

Elena: Actually wouldn’t mind putting my feet in that amazing fountain.

Nate: Okay. Alright. Have a good night.

Sally: You too.

Elena: [ Quietly ] Good night.

Sally: [ Quietly ] Night.

[ Sighs ] Your loss, adam.

Nick: Yeah, I don’t like ashland, and I don’t trust him, and I probably never will. But you know what? It doesn’t matter, because victoria made her choice. She married this guy for better or worse. And it doesn’t matter what we found out about him because nobody in the family except me seems to care about that.

Victor: Son, I really am sorry you feel that way, you know? I thought this whole thing would be a happy occasion for everyone, the whole family.

Nick: Well, yeah, I mean, it’s not every day that we get to add a lying, conniving criminal into the family. Let’s raise a glass to him.

Victor: You know, I honestly thought I would do you a favor by keeping you out of the loop regarding this lowlife gaines. But suffice it to say we have taken care of things, okay? Gaines will no longer be a problem.

Nick: Yeah, well, when you talk like that, it really concerns me. When you say you have taken care of gaines, what does that mean? How did you deal with him? I just heard something amazing!

Victor: Son, let me just say that the threat that gaines posed was dealt with the utmost discretion. So, stop worrying about it.

Nick: So, just shut up, huh? It’s pretty cool of you. I mean, you made that big speech about how it’s always family first, you know? Were those just words?

Victor: You can’t possibly think that.

Nick: Then, how come when something happened, and a member of this family is threatened — and trust me, victoria is being threatened right now — instead of uniting this family, you are fracturing it apart?

Victor: And the something that happened was gaines. And it was useless billy boy abbott who put him up to it. I took care of that threat.

Nick: By shutting me out after asking me to help? But I guess that’s the way it is. No good deed goes unpunished, while it seems bad deeds are not just forgiven, they’re almost rewarded. So, every terrible thing that ashland has ever done, it’s accepted. It’s like protected at any cost. And now ashland is merged to this family in every way. You kept me in the dark about the gaines threat, while you and adam and victoria were closing ranks, and now I’m here, trying to figure out a way just how to get my sister to forgive me. I got to tell you, dad. It’s getting awfully hard to know what’s being considered right and wrong in this family.

Jack: Well, just because nick’s having issues with his family doesn’t mean he’s cutting you out. Look. Sometimes people just need to be heard. They need someone to listen and not offer to fix their problem. Forgive me if I’m wrong, but I’m guessing you’re probably not someone who can hold back her two cents.

Phyllis: You know that. What, two cents, five cents, fifty cents — it doesn’t matter. It’s just that he’s refusing to let me in.

Jack: Okay, so, back off a little bit. Give him some space. Listen to me. You’re right. Relationships are hard work. You’re not afraid of hard work. Look at all the work you’ve done on yourself. You told me you and nick were in a good place. The two of you have been happy, right?

Phyllis: I mean, is that it? Do I actually need issues and a problem in the relationship to think that it’s working? We’re the most carefree and fun and romantic that we’ve ever been. Summer’s happy. The hotel’s doing great. Everything should be fabulous. But every time I say something, it seems to create a flare-up.

Tessa: Well, I understand that it’s something that she wants, and I want to respect that. I honestly don’t think that she even really knew what she was asking of me.

Noah: I get it. Now I’m sure the two of you will make the right decision at the right time, for both of you.

Tessa: Well, enough talk about that. I want to hear you talk. I want to hear about london and not just about your work or the fabulous culture or the nightlife. No, no, I want the good stuff. I’m sure you broke a few hearts over there.

Phyllis: Maybe I’m the problem.

Jack: Wait. What does that mean?

Phyllis: Yeah, maybe I am the problem. Maybe I just need issues and drama and conflict to feel like I’m engaged in a relationship. Maybe I’m that person. Maybe I need to fight.

Jack: Wait, wait, wait. No, no, I’m not buying any of this. No, if we’re doing a little armchair psychology, I say maybe all this self-blame is just another means of self-sabotage, and I’m not gonna let you do it because I honestly believe you have changed. Yes, you were once drawn to drama — no question about it. You don’t need that anymore. And you can be perfectly happy without it.

Itchy?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Adam: Hey.

Nick: Hello, adam.

Adam: Well, I take it your confrontation with dad didn’t go well.& You look worse than before.

Nick: What happened to gaines?

Adam: Look. Didn’t dad tell you? It’s been handled.

Nick: Yeah, I want to know what that means.

Adam: If it’s been handled, it’s been handled. That’s all that matters.

Nick: You sound like the old man now.

Adam: The two of us were just trying to keep the peace.

Nick: Right.

Adam: Okay, so, things didn’t work out with dad or victoria. You know, I’m sorry to hear that. Is there something you want me to try to do, try to mediate?

Nick: No, adam, I’ll handle it. Thank you.

Adam: Okay. But I’m serious. If there’s anything that I can do.

Nick: You must feel pretty good about your infiltration back into the core of the newman family.

Adam: I’m not infiltrating. I’m mending fences because family is actually important to me. I mean, isn’t that what we all want here?

Lily: You look like one of those marble statues in the garden.

[ Laughs ] What are you thinking?

Billy: I’m having one of those good/bad brainstorms.

Lily: Oh, no. Tell me the good.

Billy: Well, the good is that there is only one way to come out of this mess with victor and gaines that actually benefits chanccomm.

Lily: Oh, god, do I even want to hear the bad, because I feel like nothing good can come from this, from my perspective.

Billy: Ah, that’s the thing. We need a new perspective. We need to flip the story on its end.

Lily: What story?

Billy: “The life and times of jesse gaines.” Instead of making ashland the bad guy, we make jesse the bad guy — a loser, out for vengeance who has done nothing to contribute to society, who has made an entire career out of blackmailing people.

Lily: I mean, that’s probably true, but —

Billy: We got to make something out of this.

Lily: Why? Why can’t you just let it go?

Billy: Well, because I paid a duffel bag of cash for the story.

Lily: Yeah, well, you also promised victoria that you would let it go.

Billy: I did not say that we wouldn’t publish something. I simply deleted the video that gaines sent to newman/locke. They can’t get upset if the story is about gaines.

Lily: Oh, they’re gonna get more than upset.

Billy: Well, then, we’ll deal with that. It’s the only win that I can see rising from the ashes of this trip.

Lily: Wow. You can really go from love and romance to rising in the ashes in record time, can’t you?

Billy: I’m a multitasker. What can I say?

Noah: Some misfortune befell me.

Tessa: Oh, befell. Oh, using fancy words today. Are we in a charles dickens novel?

Noah: Oh, yes. Yes, I fell in love with an “artful dodger” and her band of thieves until I was saved by a barmaid with a big heart.

Tessa: Oh, well, tell me about this barmaid. Was she just beautiful?

Noah: Oh, very.

Tessa: Well, I’m assuming that it didn’t have a happy ending, because, you know, we are in a dickens novel. Well, I’m gonna remind you what you said to me earlier, which was that, “come on. It’s me you’re talking to.” You can tell me anything.

Elena: It was so nice taking a stroll around the grounds…

Nate: Mm.

Elena: …But I don’t think we should have played bocce.

Nate: [ Laughing ] Why not?

Elena: One, because we’re both a little bit tipsy. And two, because we didn’t know what we were doing.

Nate: Mm, I thought playing bocce was just like italian bowling.

Elena: Yeah, and that’s exactly how you played it. Those poor bocce balls! And did you see the way that couple was staring at you after the way you hurled that ball?

Nate: [ Laughs ] Well, at least it gave us an excuse to get lost in the garden, you know, searching for wayward bocce balls.

Elena: Ahh. Isn’t it nice to be in a different world?

Nate: It has been nice to not talk about medicine, as well.

Elena: [ Laughing ] Yeah. I’ve enjoyed having random conversations with people about everything and anything.

Nate: Mm-hmm.

Elena: In fact, I got a recommendation about a gelato place that we should try on the way back to the airport.

Nate: Mm! For sure! You know, I should actually be able to order in italian. A lot of the phrases I learned as a kid are coming back.

Elena: Mm! I’ve learned a few, too.

Nate: Hmm! Garden? Giardino.

Elena: Wedding? Nozze.

Nate: Ah. The moon?

La luna.

Bellissima? Beautiful.

Elena: Amore?

Nate: Love.

Adam: Yes.

[ Sighs ]

[ Knock on door ]

[ Sighs ] Now what? Who is it? Centrum multigummies aren’t just great tasting…

Adam: Hey.

Sally: Hi.

Adam: What are you doing here?

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

[ Clears throat ] Well, I was trying to figure out why you left me to fend for myself in a palazzo full of people who don’t like me.

Adam: Hey. I looked, and I couldn’t find you. So, I assumed you already went to bed.

Sally: You’re such a liar. You probably walked by where you left me, saw that I wasn’t there, and decided to call it a night.

Adam: Yeah, um, make yourself at home.

Sally: Well…we still haven’t officially toasted to our success.

Adam: Look. I’m sorry that I got pulled away. Here’s to your passion, talent, and determination.

Sally: And to the thousand social-media followers we are getting, thanks to the dress.

Adam: I admit. I’m impressed. You really put newman media on the fashion map with this big splash.

Sally: Yeah, well, this is just the beginning because once the international fashion magazines get a hold of it, things are really gonna take off.

Adam: Well, here’s another one, to everything going just like you said it would. It’s like you willed it to happen. I’m happy for you.

Sally: Thank you. Believe me. I have had a lot of plans that did not work out. So, the fact that this once actually did? It’s a little surreal.

Adam: Oh. You mean you weren’t as confident as you insisted you were?

Sally: No, no, no. I was confident. Just wasn’t 100% certain. And one thing didn’t exactly plan out like I had hoped. I didn’t [Sighs] Exactly win over the newman family.

Adam: What would you expect? Victoria to get up there and give a toast in your honor after the ceremony?

Sally: I mean, could she have at least released a few doves? Is that too much to ask? No, I did get a few compliments on the dress, especially from nate and elena, and I think the best man’s approval counts for something.

Adam: Well, there you go. Maybe people are warming up to your charms.

Sally: To be honest… the only person that I am interested in winning over right now… is you.

Lily: Look. I don’t know how you can do a story about gaines without the details of who he’s blackmailing and why. And if you’ve forgotten, you’ve taken the position of mr. High road.

Billy: I realize it’s gonna be difficult to tell the story of gaines without dragging ashland through the mud. But there’s got to be a way.

Lily: [ Scoffs ] I don’t like this. I don’t like when you get this obsessed.

Billy: I’m not obsessed. I’m looking for solutions.

Lily: Why can’t you just let this go? I mean, some secrets are meant to stay buried.

Billy: Yeah. Maybe.

[ Music playing in distance ]

Lily: Are they playing our song? Please come to bed. See?

Noah: She was an artist, too. And I fell pretty hard, pretty fast. We — we would stay up all night, talking about art and what it meant to be an artist. I-I never really had those kind of conversations with someone i dated before, except for you.

Tessa: Yeah, I remember, uh, a few of our all-nighters, talking about the world and life.

Noah: Yeah, it kind of felt like that. For me, at least, you know, because then she met someone else and dumped me without a second thought.

Tessa: I’m sorry. You deserve better than that.

Noah: Thanks. Hopefully, next time around, I’ll get it right.

Elena: Thank you for this incredible adventure.

Nate: And thank you for being the only person I wanted to be with tonight… and all other nights.

[ Both laugh ]

Elena: Oh, I don’t want this trip to end. What if the spell is broken?

Nate: Then we must make sure we bring a part of italy home with us through our memories.

Elena: Mm.

Nate: I will never forget how you looked in the moonlight.

Elena: And I will never forget you almost knocking over a marble statue off of its pedestal with a bocce ball.

[ Laughs ]

[ Music playing in distance ]

Nate: Mm.

Elena: Ooh!

[ Laughs ]

[ Music plays in distance ] We’re eating and drinking foods and beverages

Adam: Sally… I can’t do this with you. I’m sorry. I can’T. I’m not — I’m not — I’m not ready for this.

Sally: Ready for what? Look. I told you that I’m not looking for any sort of commitment, okay? What happens in tuscany — that sort of thing? I won’t even flirt with you when we get back to the office. I swear.

Adam: You are such a liar. You don’t do things halfway, sally. The fact that you got victoria to wear the dress you designed? It proves it.

Sally: I’m not gonna apologize for that.

Adam: Well, I’m not asking you to. You expect me to believe if i agreed to have one night here, you’re gonna be satisfied with that?

Sally: Yes. It’s exactly what I’m saying.

Adam: You want more than a one-night stand because that is who you are, sally. And I’m just… I can’t give you what you want right now.

Sally: Because?

Adam: None of this is a reflection on you. Okay, next time that I get involved with somebody, it has to be all or nothing. And I’m just — I’m not emotionally ready for “all.” And it would be wrong and selfish of me to pretend like i was and agree to have one night here with you, when you clearly want more than to wake up and be cold and distant in the morning.

Sally: Wow! Okay, then. Really covered all the bases there. So… I can take no for an answer. But just fair warning — this just makes you look thoughtful and decent, in addition to sexy. So, joke’s on you. And I am not giving up hope that one day you will be in a better place, where you are ready for “all.” And I hope it’s with me.

Jack: I have no doubt that you and nick will work through this.

Phyllis: Well, we’ll see if that’s true.

Jack: See? There you go, underestimating yourself again.

Phyllis: [ Laughs ]

Jack: The new phyllis can handle this.

Phyllis: I hope so! Thank you.

Jack: I’m rooting for both of you. Well, especially you. Always.

Billy: Victor? Still no word from gaines. Why don’t you tell me what you did with him?

Victor: I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Billy: I’m not sure if you heard, but gaines sent me an exclusive video that would have blown up ashland’s secret to the entire world. And I did the right thing to protect victoria. I deleted it. So, why don’t you just come clean and tell me how you got rid of gaines.

Victor: You only did the right thing after doing a lot of wrong things, billy boy, and all supposedly while helping victoria. She’s none of your business anymore. And that is not changing.

Billy: Okay. So, I guess we’re done.

Victor: No, we are not done. Listen very carefully. The gloves are coming off. You find another career, another life. I will take everything you own from you.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

according to the satellite photos, this is the only way across to the dock. Oh, man, that is a long drop. There’s certainly no way down from the compound side. We’ll intercept him as he makes a run for it. Unless he tries the main gate. In which case there’s a nice group of agents waiting to welcome him. But that’s not peter’s M.O. He’s gonna wait for darkness and then slither away. Okay. Robert… I’m not gonna shoot to kill. I am. And for the record, as exciting as it must have been, I’m so glad that your detective days are over, private and otherwise. That’s one thing stella and I have in common. We both like knowing that you’re safe and sound. Well… I intend to stay that way, because I’ve certainly got a lot to live for. How about a toast?

[ Chuckles ] Sounds like you got something in mind. I do. May the past stay in the past. Amen to that.

[ Glasses clink ] Thank you. Sure. Well, what are we drinking to? Well, that depends on your answer. You threw these at my feet when you walked away from me. Now I’m asking you with all of my heart — let me put them back on you. Dante: Where are you holding drew? Well, I can take you to his cell, but I have no idea if he’s still there. Where else would he be? Peter bribed the guards to do his bidding. It’s more than likely he’s taken drew. No, there is no way in hell that drew would go anywhere with peter. Drew doesn’t have a choice. Let me guess — not your favorite couple. Well, I’ve made my peace with ava. But as far as nikolas cassadine? Wherever he goes, disaster seems to follow. I remember taking these off… desperate to convince you that our marriage was over. Really, I was trying to convince myself. I never did. I’ve missed them. Nothing would make me happier than you putting them back where they belong. Ava… my wife… I love you with all that I have… …and all that I am, now and forever. Nikolas, my husband… I love you with all that I have, all that I am, now and forever.

Now we can toast.

[ Chuckles softly ] To us. To… mr. And mrs. Nikolas and ava cassadine.

[ Glasses clink ] There they are. Told you spinelli would be able to track them down. He’s a useful guy to have around. You sure this is the way you want to play it? Yeah, I got this. Just do me a favor — don’t go too far, in case I need backup. Copy that. Mind if I join you? It’ll be fun — walk down memory lane. Whoo-hoo! I’m not seeing the, uh, fun part. Oh, come on, nikolas. Not every past association has to be negative. He used to have the most awful nightmares about his family. I mean, growing up in that nest of vipers would give anyone bad dreams. Then he’d wake up in a cold sweat. So, nik, does your troubled family history still disturb your sleep? Someone’s coming. Here we go. It’s drew and valentin. Aw, damn! -Valentin! -Anna!

[ Gunshot ] Oh, valentin!

[ Valentin grunts ] Drew: Go, go, go!

[ Gunfire ]

Portia? Hmm? What’s wrong? Talk to me. It’s spencer’s father, not that I consider him to be a very good one. Um, I heard spencer was arrested. He didn’t harm trina at all, did he? No, no, no, not physically. But he outright lied to her and played on her sympathy, when the whole time, spencer’s whole goal was just to get back at ava. And then nikolas jumps in, playing the same twisted mind games as spencer. Like father, like son. And trina gets caught in the middle. Okay, to hell with that. I have no problem getting them the hell out of here. I — no, no. I appreciate the impulse. I really do. But trina’s close to ava, and I’d rather not escalate the tension. Want another round? Nikolas doesn’t have nightmares about his family or anything else, not when he’s with me. So you’re not concerned about your family’s operations in crete? What operations? Scott baldwin’s computer was hacked with spyware that’s been traced back to greece, specifically to crete. I don’t see what that has to do with me. Computer hackers are pretty common these days. Well, this one in particular hits close to home. How so? Whoever spied on scott used that information to get their hands on my mother. The cells are on the lower level. You go through that door and down the stairs. You shouldn’t encounter any guards. I [Scoffs] Wasn’t paying them enough to die protecting this place. But I have no idea how much peter was paying them to betray me. So you best proceed with caution. And, um, well, good luck. Ah, no, no, no, no.

You’re our luck. And you’re coming with us. But why? Y-you don’t want me. You want peter. No, right now we want drew. Peter will be a bonus. You’re gonna show us the way.

[ Sighs ] All right. Well, it seems like I don’t have any choice. But before we go in search of drew, there is someone else who needs rescuing. You’re an intelligent woman, britt. You must realize your mother doesn’t lack for enemies. However, I’m not one of them. Just because scott’s hacker was traced to greece, why assume the cassadines are involved? Gotta start somewhere. The cassadines are the only greek family I know, and they’re a family with a pretty sketchy history, so… well, I don’t know what to tell you. I left the island and my family business behind when I returned to port charles. So, are you finished, then? Because this is a big night for us. We’re celebrating. Well, I’m sorry to delay your big night, but I need a moment with nikolas — alone. Where’s drew? I don’t know. Where’s peter? Did you hit him? Running for his life, I think. Did you hit him? I don’t think so. Can you see drew? This light’s not powerful enough. I can’t see anything.

Oh, god, he’s losing blood fast. How’s his body temperature? I don’t know. Oh, it’s dropping. It’s dropping. Here. What? Okay. Here, just… I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine. Go get peter. Aah! We’ve got to get you to the hospital. Come on. Shh. There’s someone else here that needs rescuing. What? Who? Obrecht. I sincerely don’t know how I can help you find your mom. Well, maybe we can help each other out. Hi, curtis. Hi, ava. Hi, portia. Hi. Would it be all right with you if I had a word with the good doctor? It’s up to you. It’s fine with me. Shouldn’t be long. All right. Ava. Hey, jason. Hey, curtis. What brings you in, man? Business or pleasure? Uh, neither. Just helping a friend. How do you think we can help each other out? Liesl! She’s gone. You — you brought us to obrecht’s cell first? Liesl’s in a lot more danger from peter than drew is. They say cats have nine lives. Liesl must have 10. Assuming she got away. Maybe they just moved her to another location. I’m praying she managed to escape. Well… unless she needed medical attention, I don’t think obrecht left this cell on her own free will. I heard about spencer. All those months you and ava were in fear of a stalker, and it turned out to be spencer all along. But some of the things he did, it just doesn’t feel like spencer’s style at all. Burning a car is simultaneously cliché and overkill. He admits he was responsible. Ava was right to have him arrested. Well, I asked to speak to you alone because I didn’t want to say this in front of ava. If spencer was willing to go to those extremes to separate you two, it’s doubtful you can get through to him. But he still likes me, considers me a friend, even a mentor of sorts. Maybe he’ll listen to me. I’d be happy to talk to spencer. Is there, uh, trouble over there with britt and nikolas? Eh, you don’t want to know. You know what? You’re right. I don’T. In fact, I was just telling portia earlier today how happy I was to be out of that game. But based on experience, you and I know it’s not a game at all, right? People get hurt. They may even die. What are we standing around here for? Liesl’s in great danger… you know what? …If we don’t find her. Obrecht is gonna be just fine. Like sam said, she’s like some crazy cat lady with nine lives. You need to take me to drew cain’s cell.

[ Sighs ] Seems like sam’s one step ahead of us. She’s probably looking for drew. Sam!

So, how is trina doing? Ah, thank you. You’re welcome. We’ve been, um, in touch for the last couple weeks, but I’ve been really distracted. And I know that trina’s been busy with school. Mm-hmm. Trina loves it at pcu.

[ Chuckles ] As much as I miss having her home, I think that living in the dorms is good for her independence. Most of her classes are basic courses, but she’s got one elective… mm? …Art history.

[ Laughs ] And in trina’s words, it’s epic. Oh, that’s great, really. You know, I don’t worry about her academically. Not one bit. I just… I wonder if she’s as grounded when it comes to her social life. I was surprised that she put so much faith into that young man who introduced himself as victor. Mm. Turned out to be spencer. Mm-hmm. Well, she hasn’t told me

too much about it, but I know it’s been difficult for her. Spencer made her question her own judgment. And do you blame spencer’s father for what spencer has done? I think nikolas played a pivotal role in driving spencer to his outrageous behavior. But I-I know that you’re in love with him. I don’t expect you to see it my way. Well, I love trina, too. And I hate that she’s been dragged into such a dysfunctional situation. You know, spencer didn’t just lie and manipulate. He broke the law. And that’s why I’m making sure that he pays for what he did. By having him arrested? I-if you think I support that decision, uh, yeah, um, no, you’re mistaken. I disagree. Hey, how’s sonny? He’s, uh — he’s glad to be back. Well, nine months is a long time. It’s got to be an adjustment coming back. Yeah, he’s doing okay. We all are. Nina told me a little bit about what happened. Now, I’m not defending her in any way, but she was here when michael and willow came in the other night. And let’s just say some pretty frank opinions were exchanged. Well, uh, michael has a right to his opinion. Obviously, you have a right to yours. Well, like I said, I’m not defending her, but I believe she’s deserving of a second chance. What time’s the first set? Oh, sorry, there’s no live music tonight. That’s wednesdays. That’s too bad. What kind of acts do you book here? It’s a pretty eclectic mix. Whose eclectic mix? The owner? Or do you have a booking agent? Nope. The owner does it himself. That’s him right over there — the man in the diamond earrings. Jason: We had sonny declared legally dead. We had his will probated. We had to change ownership of his all companies legally, and now legally we gotta change them all back. It’s just a — it’s just a nightmare. Aaah! I didn’t want to die in greece! Okay. I’m not gonna let you. Come on. Valentin, talk to me, talk to me. Talk to me about charlotte. Okay? Okay. And bailey. Okay. Just talk to me about them. Charlotte. Yeah. Charlotte’s a good girl. You know, she wants a new horse. Ah! She wants to keep the pony. She loves that pony. But she’s ready for a jumper. So — ah! — I’ve got an eye on a thoroughbred. Used to be a racehorse. Real disappointment, so… but I think I can get a good deal. I want to give him a second chance. I think everybody deserves a second chance, don’t you? Yeah, I’m a big believer in that. Anna. Hmm? I think there’s a good chance someone’s gonna have to tell charlotte what happened here. Promise me you’ll do it. She admires you. And bailey — ah! That sweet thing’s never gonna know me. Promise me you’ll tell her. Promise me you’ll tell my children papa loves them. Robert! Get over here. Just spoken to the bureau. They’re sending a ‘copter. What’s the eta? ‘Cause I don’t think he can hold on much longer. Valentin! Spencer has spent his entire life in the lap of luxury. So if he’s willing to do a night in jail, that means he’s really dug in on his position. Okay, maybe he needs to talk to a more neutral person who can help him find a way to apologize but also save face. Come on. It doesn’t hurt to try, right? I help you, you help me. It’s a win-win. If you want to visit spencer in jail, I can’t stop you, but we don’t have a deal. Why not? I admire your devotion to your mother, but I meant what I said. I can’t help you find her. My family sold off our holdings in crete years ago. Which means that your family used to own properties there, right? No funny stuff, victor. You better be taking me to drew’s cell. I am, but that doesn’t mean that sam’s found it. Sam, hey, don’t take off like that. We gotta stay together, yeah? I’m sorry. When I saw that syringe, I was afraid that whatever happened to liesl happened to drew. Well, peter doesn’t need drugs to control drew. He has something far better. What are you talking about? Drew’s conditioning. It’s still active. No, you’re — you’re wrong. He had an operation. The conditioning is gone. Faison was either greedy or prudent, depending on your point of view. He installed a shortcut, a simple image or phrase that can activate the conditioning. It’s like a trigger known only to faison — and now, it appears, for peter. So you know this for sure? Well, just ask robert scorpio and anna devane. They were at the tavern in panopolia. Yeah, we know that place. Yeah, a masked gunman ambushed them. They fired back. The gunman retreated. Then coincidentally, the next morning — that is, this morning — drew was found in his cell with a bullet wound. Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious, just a graze. But it now appears that drew is completely under peter’s control. Not completely. Look, if he can remember his daughter’s name, peter hasn’t won. Hi, I’m debra. I’m from colorado. I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart for 35 years. I’m a mother of four– always busy. I was starting to feel a little foggy. Just didn’t feel like things were as sharp as I knew they once were. I heard about prevagen and then I started taking it about two years now. Started noticing things a little sharper, a little clearer. I feel like it’s kept me on my game. I’m able to remember things. I’d say give it a try.

T, the cassadinesused to own property in crete, but we sold them. It’s all part of public record. Oh, god, stop — stop making it sound like we’re talking about a three-bedroom bungalow in a nice neighborhood in a good school district. The cassadines don’t go after normal homes like most people. You go after creepy caves and volcanoes and offshore islands with its own private harbors. I’m not gonna deny the cassadines think big. My grandfather built a retreat there before I was even born. Okay! Now we’re getting somewhere. Can you tell me how to get there? What’s the point? We sold it a long time ago. I-it was converted into a monastery at one point, famous for its vineyards. The vidiano, I’m told, is to die for. Ha, ha. I hope not, for my mother’s sake. Can you tell me how to get there? I mean, I suppose you could take your holy orders and become a monk. But they’re pretty old-school there. Men only. Besides, it’s in the middle of nowhere. The only thing close is a tiny village with a church, a post office, and a taverna. And then there’s nothing for miles.

[ Sighs ] You know, we’re lucky we’re in a place where bars stay open late. I could use a drink or thr– I should have stayed with him, don’t you think? Come on. He’s been airlifted to the consulate hospital. Yeah, with his life hanging by a thread. What do you think you were gonna do? I don’t — we got a ton of stuff to focus on here. Bartender, two glasses of ouzo please.

[ Speaks greek ] I asked you to look after sam and dante. Now…where are they? I regret to inform you that, uh, I didn’t complete my assignment. Uh, that means what? They weren’t agents. They weren’t here on an op. They didn’t care about wsb protocols. They wanted to find the little girl’s father and bring him home. You let them go? I might have gone outside to investigate a noise, and when I returned, they were gone. I swear you will be busted down to a parking-lot attendant — oh, for god’s sake, robert, come on. Don’t you think this night’s been bad enough? So what? Ketchum showed a little compassion. I mean, it’s not the worst quality for an agent, is it? Come on, he broke the rules. I know agents that have done a lot worse. Two of them are standing right here. And the day you say that rules are more important than people is the day you turn into a liar. So rules are meant to be politely ignored or — or… downright broken. And you know that better than anyone. Hey, um, we gotta go. With every minute that goes by, peter’s getting further and further away with obrecht and drew. Let’s go. Okay. Uh, not you. I’m gonna lock you in here. No, wait, y-you can’t leave me here. I can. I’ll send someone to babysit you. What if peter comes back? He won’t show any mercy. Like you had for drew?

[ Sighs ]

Peter was the one responsible for drew’s abduction. Peter was behind his captivity. Did I facilitate it? Yes, fine. Do I regret it? Oh, my god, immeasurably. Look, in a lifetime of questionable alliances, not least with my — my barking-mad own brother mikkos, getting close to peter august was the worst mistake of my life. All I want to do is live long enough to pay that bastard back, and “live” being the operative word. I know this place like the back of my hand. You need me to — to guide you safely out of here. What do you think? Someone who could actually show us around. You’re right. All right, you try anything, I will shoot you. Let’s go. Show us the way. All right, follow me. If spencer is convicted, that’s gonna be on his record for life. Well, that’s entirely up to him. I set my anger aside. I went to the pcpd. I offered him an olive branch. I just hope he was smart enough to take it. And then maybe someday if spencer gets his act together, he and trina could be friends again.

I am gonna be encouraging my daughter to stay far, far away from your stepson. Because of what spencer did or because trina got caught in the middle? Neither. It’s because of who spencer is. Ahh. Where the hell have you been? I told you to stay put. We found someone that may be able to help us find drew. Cassadine. I kind of knew the rumors of your demise were greatly exaggerated. Mm. Well, I can explain, but first I need to know, did valentin manage to escape? We were separated in all the confusion. He was shot in the back. I’m sorry. Would you repeat that? You heard me. Valentin was shot in the back by peter. He’s been airlifted out. Do you know his prognosis? He’s critical. I see. Why do you care? I mean, you’ve heard that he’s not a cassadine, so he’s no relation to you.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, anna, you could not be more wrong. Helena had an affair… with me. Valentin’s my son and a true cassadine.

She was convinced mikkos was cheating on her,

[Chuckles] Which, of course, he was. I know people saw her as heartless and vindictive, but helena was always far more complex than that, sometimes even vulnerable. She felt that mikkos was her life partner, her soul mate, if you will. So when she learned of his infidelities, his many infidelities, it crushed her. One day I found her crying. I was intending only to comfort her, but comfort turned to passion. One thing led to another. I don’t regret any of it. You’ll have to pardon me if i throw up in my mouth over this. Helena paid mikkos back with interest. She kept her pregnancy secret and fostered the child out with a — a local girl, one that mikkos had already discarded. And she tricked my brother into believing valentin was his son. He sent him away to boarding school and seemed to forget about him. I felt valentin was safer that way, so I did nothing to dispute the lie. Why do you want to claim him now? I knew peter was planning to double-cross me at any time. He was already holding valentin captive. I didn’t know if either of us was going to survive. I felt my son had a right to know his father before he died. I hope he laughed in your face.

[ Chuckles ] He did, actually. But that doesn’t make it any less true. Father, uncle, random stranger. It makes no difference to me. If valentin dies, I hold you responsible. Well, damn, I didn’t know it was so difficult to prove that someone was legally alive. Yeah, yeah. Diane’s been through it. She had to do it when I came back, but she’s probably the only person who isn’t complaining because she’s making a fortune off of it. Mm. But she’s not so thrilled to see sonny alive that she’s willing to work at a discount. Uh, diane loves sonny, and she’s glad he’s home, but a discount? Not a chance.

[ Chuckles ] Do you mostly feature acts from the northeast, or do you pull from all over? I know you said “eclectic,” but I don’t know if that means style or geography. Both. Since we’ve opened, we’ve had acts from all over. One singer came in from london. Really? Impressive. And smart. Live music is a great draw. I know people like to come to clubs with their friends, but when they see a live act — come here — it takes it to the next level. Yeah. Yeah. Sounds like your boss knows what he’s doing. Mm-hmm. My own relationship with my son is complicated, to say the least, so even if most people wouldn’t understand your devotion to your mother, I do. Maybe there’s something I can do to help. I still got a friend or two in crete. I can put in a few calls, see if anyone’s heard anything. W-we’re talking about criminals and a possible kidnapping. You think your friends are just gonna volunteer that information? To a stranger? Absolutely not. But it’s different when it’s one of their own. You wouldn’t want trina to ever be friends with spencer, not even down the line, because he’s a cassadine. Is — is that what you mean?

[ Sighs ] This has no reflection on you, ava. But at the end of the day, I want my daughter safe. And in my book, that means keeping her away from your stepson

and your husband. So, have you heard anything from the hospital? Well, he’s been gone less than an hour. Valentin would have been taken straight into surgery. I doubt that the doctors have time to call us with updates. He’s at the american consulate facility, isn’t he? Could you?

[ Laughs ] No, you’re not going anywhere, victor. Oh, oh, come on. You know there are plenty of consulate personnel there. They — they’ll keep an eye on me. Yeah, t-they might, if you actually made it to the consulate, which I highly doubt you’re gonna do. And just ’cause you’re feeling all paternal to valentin doesn’t erase all the bad stuff you did. Anna. Anna, please. Oh, well, there isn’t a chance in hell that you’re gonna make it to the consulate on your own volition. You’ll stay here with us, and you’ll answer questions. Well… I suppose I can make a call. I don’t understand why you won’t just give me an address. What’s it to you if I go to greece? You haven’t even let me make any calls yet. Not that I’m promising a clue to where your mother might be.

[ Cellphone ringing ] But you never know. All right, well, I guess let me know if you hear anything. This is anna. Oh, there you go. Maybe anna has a clue for you. Excuse me. Anna. Is that you? Where are you? I’m in greece. I have news about your mother. Robert: Any updates, sightings? Maybe peter, dragging around a female hostage named liesl obrecht? Shouldn’t you be asking about two hostages? Yeah, liesl and drew. Let me have a minute with these two, will you? No problem. What’s, uh, going on? Do you know something about drew? Yeah, I got news

[Sighs] None of it good.

Curtis, there’s a customer I think you should meet. Oh, happy to. Any reason in particular? He was asking about live music. All right, well, um, just point me in the direction. Hmm. Well, it looks like he took off. Mm. Tell you what — if he comes back in, be sure to introduce me to him. Sure. Okay. There’s only one way to the dock, and it’s via the footbridge. Where valentin was shot. What does that have to do with drew? Valentin and drew were together. They got halfway across the bridge, and peter put a shot into valentin’s back. Drew turned around to draw the fire. Peter put three shots into him. The impact blew him back across the bridge and all the way to the water, and it’s a long way. He never surfaced. Yeah, but you’re sure he was hit? Yeah, I’m sure. So what are you saying? That — that, uh, you think drew is dead, but you don’t have a body, right? I got agents combing the area. They’ll call me the minute they find him, dead or alive. That bastard. Okay, yeah, but you know what? If there’s one thing that drew has proven so far, it’s that he’s pretty damn tough to kill. You’re gonna be held accountable for this. As I understand it, you’re retired from the wsb and are now the local port charles D.A. This is a little out of your jurisdiction, wouldn’t you say?

[ Chuckles ] Don’t worry. When it comes to the cassadines, I always make it personal. I admire any mother who is protecting her daughter. But you do understand how important trina’s well being is to me, right? I mean, I think I’ve proven that. I know that trina admires you. She looks up to you. She cares for you deeply, which is why she went to such lengths to help you with your stalker. I sense a “but” coming. And you would be correct. Now that the stalker situation is over and you’ve decided to stay with nikolas… you’ve really cemented yourself in that cassadine family. I just hope that the connection that you have with them doesn’t come back to haunt you or my daughter. It’s me. Can you talk? This is not a good time. Well, that’s too bad. I understand there’s been some disruption. Tell me everything. Hey, hey. Who was on the phone? Anna. She’s in greece. So it turns out that ip address spinelli found on scott’s computer was linked to a cassadine compound where my mother was being held captive by peter. But guess what else. He’s not working alone. Who’s helping him? Victor cassadine. Nikolas’s uncle? Yeah, the dead guy.

[ Chuckles ] But there’s something else. Um… your brother drew was also being held in the compound. What? Wait. Drew was in the — in the prison? Yeah. Anna said the wsb stormed the place, grabbed victor, but drew took a bullet and is presumed dead. Presumed? So there’s no body, again? Apparently, peter shot drew on some bridge, and he fell over the side and into the sea. The wsb is still looking for him, but anna didn’t sound hopeful.

[ Sighs ] Okay, what — what about peter? Vanished, and so has my mother. We need to go to greece. I’m game if you are. Are we good? You know, between the bullet hits and the fall, they have to think you’re dead. Put the gear in the back and let’s get moving.

[ Engine starts ]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Brady: What are you doing here? I mean, what are you doing back here?

Chloe: I’m just working on some contracts. How did it go with the buyer?

Brady: It went really well. We got the silk at cost.

Chloe: Good.

Brady: Yeah, it’s good. So for the second time, chloe, what are you doing he?

Chloe: I just told you I’m finishing up some work.

Brady: Those contracts aren’t due for a couple of weeks, and the first time you left, you said you were going to go do something about philip. Did you talk to him?

Chloe: Yeah.

Brady: And did he rope you back in? And, for the 8 million and 7th time, did he say he was sorry and that it was never gonna happen again?

Chloe: Yes

Brady: And, for the 8 million and 7th time, did you forgive him and get stuck in the cycle all over again?

Chloe: No, brady, I didn’t get stuck in the cycle again. I moved out.

Kate: Philip, what the hell is wrong now?

Philip: Great. This is just what I needed.

Kate: Hey, I know. It’s a silly question, right? Because if you’re like this, that means it’s about chloe. Every time you’re like a puppy in a thunderstorm, it’s because of chloe.

Philip: You’ve always been such a comfort to me.

Kate: Honey, it gets boring. You’ve been doing this since you were in high school. At least then you were an adolescent. It was age-appropriate to be mooning around like hamlet on downers. This is just–this is sad.

Philip: Always a pleasure.

Kate: No, wait, wait, wait. Okay, tell me. Please, tell me. What did chloe do now that’s so bad?

Philip: She moved out.

Kate: Hmm? Oh. Are you just saying that because you know it’s what I want to hear?

Roman: All right. Here you go. Well, man, you look really intent. What are you working on?

Lucas: Johnny just dropped off this contract outlining my investment in the movie. Pretty professional, don’t you think?

Roman: Well, you know what? I wouldn’t know.

Lucas: What, he didn’t give you yours yet? I’m sure it’s coming.

Roman: You know, actually, I decided not to invest after all.

Lucas: Why not? I thought you were gung-ho about the whole thing.

Roman: Yeah, well, I felt bad about–for johnny. I mean, his dad’s a jerk, his mom’s missing in action…

Lucas: “But”?

Roman: But I talked to john, and he’s worried about marlena. He thinks this movie could stir up some really horrible memories, and I agree. And if that did happen, it could–it could end up really hurting marlena.

Johnny: Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely.

Chanel: So you’re quoting sonnets now?

Johnny: That is what wooers do. Did it work? Do you feel wooed? You want to make out now?

Chanel: I know why you’re in such a good mood.

Johnny: Because I’m with you.

Chanel: Because your dad gave you the money for your movie.

Johnny: Well, yeah, that too. How’d you know?

Chanel: Allie told me. I’m surprised he coughed up after giving you such a hard time about it.

Johnny: Thank god he did. I thought I was gonna have to start busking.

Chanel: Oh, he saved you from being a street performer?

Johnny: Yeah, I’ll tell you about it after I go get allie’s contract.

Chanel: She’s not there. She already left.

Johnny: You know where she went?

Chanel: Home, I guess. But there’s something else you should know. She told me that she wouldn’t do the movie unless your grandmother signed off on it.

Johnny: Well, that’s another reason that I’m in such a good mood. Because I just talked to my grandmother, and she said it’s okay.

Chanel: Really?

Johnny: Yeah. Actually, she said it was more than okay. In fact, she seemed very excited about it. Almost like it was something she wanted to happen.

[Eerie music]

Demon marlena: Finally, we are one!

[Demonic laughter]

John: Hey, doc? Can I come in?

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

[Soft orchestration]

Allie: Henry, you have literally loved your blanky to death.

Tripp: Hey.

Allie: Hi. You’re here early.

Tripp: Yeah, I hope that’s okay.

Allie: Of course it is.

Tripp: [Groans]

Allie: How was your day at work?

Tripp: I will be glad to be done with this er rotation. We had an entire fifth-grade class come in with food poisoning.

Allie: Spare me the details.

Tripp: Gladly. Yeah.

Allie: Well, after all that, I’m assuming you’re not hungry, she says hopefully.

Tripp: Hopefully?

Allie: Well, I got out of work late, and it was a tossup between going to the grocery store or getting home in time to put henry to bed.

Tripp: That’s okay. We’ll just get takeout. What do you feel like?

Allie: Anything but pizza again. But the menus are right there.

Tripp: What’s this?

Allie: Oh, that is my contract for johnny’s movie. It’s the first time I’ve ever been referred to as an “artist.” Kinda liked it.

Tripp: But you didn’t sign it.

Allie: And I’m not going to. Not until my grandma signs off on it, which I really don’t see her doing, so…

Chanel: Your grandma was excited about it?

Johnny: Yep.

Chanel: About you making a movie about when she was possessed by the devil?

Johnny: Seemed that way.

Chanel: You sure you didn’t just want it to seem that way?

Johnny: No, no, she was all smiles and everything. Said she wanted tickets to the premiere. She even made a joke about not stinting on the special effects.

Chanel: Wow. I guess she’s put the whole thing behind her.

Johnny: Yeah, I guess.

Chanel: What?

Johnny: When she gave me the okay, she really did seem excited, you know. Happy, even. But before that, my grandpa john said they were talking about the movie one night and she had a nightmare about it.

Chanel: So just thinking about it gives her nightmares, but she’s excited for you to actually make it? You sure you didn’t just guilt her into saying yes?

Johnny: No. No, I swear. I mean, I was ready to scrap the whole thing. I told her that, and then once I did, it’s like she was trying to talk me into it.

Chanel: If you say so.

Johnny: I do love her, you know. I don’t ever want to hurt her, but it’s almost like she insisted that I go ahead with it. Even got a little short with my grandpa john when he disagreed. And that’s another thing.

Chanel: What?

Johnny: She is never short with anyone, especially him. I wonder what’s gotten into her.

John: Hey, doc, everything okay in there? Doc? Hey. I’ve been out in the hall, like, pounding for five minutes.

Marlena: Oh, I’m sorry. I was so engrossed in this script, I guess I didn’t hear you.

John: What’s with the sunglasses?

Marlena: Hmm? Oh. Oh. I was getting a little glare from the lamp and it was making it hard to read the script, so I thought the sunglasses might help.

John: Really?

Marlena: Yeah. Yeah. I was right. They do. This is really a good story that he’s written. Yeah, it’s quite a little page-turner.

John: I can imagine.

Marlena: Are you having a problem?

John: Well, yeah. Yeah, I just had a really unpleasant déj vu. You know, the last time you started wearing sunglasses inside was when you were possessed.

Marlena: Really?

John: Yeah, and you told me it was some problem with your eyes, but that wasn’t the truth, was it? It was the devil trying to hide himself. Your mission:

Allie: So what looks good to you?

Tripp: All of it.

[Chuckles] Dude, you decide.

Allie: Well, that thai place we had the other night, that was pretty good.

Tripp: Hey, isn’t this henry’s blanket he won’t go to sleep without?

Allie: Yeah. I just had to sneak it away from him after he fell asleep. I thought maybe I could fix it, but now that I’m looking at it in the light, I think it’s a little out of my skill set.

[Chuckles]

Tripp: I could do it.

Allie: You could?

Tripp: I wouldn’t say I could do it if I couldn’T. Does nicole have a sewing kit?

Allie: “Does nicole have a sewing kit?”

[Both laugh] No, not unless you need one to make a martini.

Tripp: All right. Fair. Fair. That’s not a problem, though, ’cause the boy scout that I am, I came prepared.

Kate: So did victor help chloe pack? Did he call her a car? ‘Cause I know he loves her just as much as I do.

Philip: I’m glad you find my life so amusing.

Kate: You know, I would feel sorry for you if you didn’t already have that covered yourself.

Philip: So why don’t you let me wallow in my self-pity all alone, then?

Kate: Philip–okay, fine. I’m sorry. No more jokes. But if chloe has rejected you, you need to accept that. You need to accept it with some dignity and some self-respect.

Philip: This coming from a woman who pretended to be blind and have amnesia.

Kate: Oh, that was different.

Philip: How? How is that different?

Kate: Because that’s me, okay? Philip, I do feel badly for you, and as much as I don’t understand it, I know you care for chloe. But do you realize how frustrating it is for me to watch her and to watch you as she hurts you over and over and over again? It’s just not worth it.

Philip: I disagree. And it’s not that she hurts me. It’s the other way around. It’s, I hurt her.

Kate: What are you talking about, that you hurt her? You treat her like a queen, philip.

Philip: No, it’s not how I treat her, it’s how… it’s how I am with her. I keep losing it. I tell her it won’t happen again and I just lose it.

Kate: What are you talking about?

Philip: Brady.

Brady: I’m sorry. That must have been really hard for you.

Chloe: Had to be done.

Brady: Yeah. And hey, I’m sorry about the way I spoke to you just now. It was–it probably came across a little–

Chloe: High-handed? Didactic? Condescending? Full of yourself?

Brady: Yeah, pretty much all those. I’m sorry. I just–I get frustrated at the situation here because you know how I feel about you, and it’s just hard for me to let philip just do what– the point is, you didn’t let him do it this time. You didn’t give him a second chance. You know, you stuck up for yourself, you made a clean break, and honestly, I think it’s the right thing to do.

Chloe: According to you. I did what I thought was right.

Brady: You did. You broke up with him.

Chloe: No, brady. I didn’t say that.

Lucas: Let me ask you this. When did john tell you that marlena wasn’t interested in doing the movie?

Roman: The other day. Why?

Lucas: Well, according to johnny, she’s on board. She’s okay with it.

Roman: Really?

Lucas: Yeah.

Roman: I wonder how john feels about that.

Johnny: I’m telling you, I got a weird feeling about the two of them. It’s almost like she was trying to get me out of there before my grandpa could even say anything else.

Chanel: But you’re still going ahead with the movie?

Johnny: Well, it’s the marlena evans story, not the john black story. So it’s her call.

Chanel: Well, yeah. But he went through it too. So I’m sure he thinks it’s his story too.

Johnny: But that’s like saying “belle du jour” is about the husband.

Chanel: Well, you know what? You can name a million movies I’ve never heard of, but that doesn’t change the fact that this movie of yours could end up being a really bad idea.

Johnny: Well, thanks for the vote of confidence.

Chanel: Sorry. I’m just reacting to what you told me about your grandparents.

Johnny: You know, I actually really love my grandpa john. I just don’t think he’s, let’s say, open to new ideas, but my grandma is. And I think that she is going to make him see that he is worried about nothing.

Chanel: Whatever you say.

Johnny: I mean, I don’t get why he’s so against the idea. This was years ago, right? I mean, it’s not like she’s possessed by the devil today.

Marlena: So you think that I’m wearing sunglasses because I’m possessed by the devil?

John: Well, doc, you’ve got to admit you’ve been acting kind of strange lately. One day, this stupid movie here is giving you nightmares. The next day, you do this 180 and you’re all for it.

Marlena: Well, I don’t find it strange that I would change my mind. I mean, I think I’ve been looking at the script unemotionally and thinking that it might be a very good way to put the past behind us.

John: Well, you know what? I disagree with that again. I think it’s only gonna dredge up the past.

Marlena: Well, I disagree. I think it’s a great way to end all of the suggestions and innuendos that are going around. That’s why I said that johnny could go ahead. Not because I’m possessed by the devil.

John: Okay, fine. Take the glasses off, then.

Marlena: [Scoffs]

Tripp: Wow, this– yeah, this blanket should be on life support.

Allie: Hmm. Tell me, doc, did I wait too long to get help?

Tripp: I won’t lie, this procedure is gonna be touch-and-go.

[Both laugh]

Allie: There was a time where I was going to clubs and parties and getting drunk on champagne. And now I’m sitting here worried about a baby blanket. And it’s okay.

Tripp: Where you going?

Allie: I just remembered, I think I have everything I need to make a carbonara.

Tripp: What about takeout?

Allie: Well, sitting here watching you with your needle and thread is making me feel quite domestic.

Tripp: Ah.

Allie: So maybe we can watch a home improvement show after.

Tripp: You know, going to bed is about as domestic as it gets.

Johnny: So my dad would only give me the money if I gave him a part.

Chanel: He has a secret desire to act?

Johnny: He has a very public desire to stick it to my uncle chad.

Chanel: Wait, so is abigail going to have scenes with the guy who wants to “stick it” to her husband?

Johnny: He’s gonna play john.

Chanel: That should go well.

Johnny: Yeah.

Chanel: And have you thought about how allie feels about the way your dad treated you guys’ mom?

Johnny: Oh, that.

Chanel: Do you think she’s gonna be thrilled to work with him? I mean, doesn’t it worry you that you’ve assembled a cast with some complicated histories? Like, this might not be what you’d call a tranquil set.

Johnny: I hope to channel the cast’s personal animosity towards each other into dramatic tension. Which is a film term for, “I’ll do whatever it takes to get the money.”

Chanel: Well, bette davis and joan crawford made a great movie.

Johnny: Speaking of bette davis, I’d better go get allie’s contract. Now that she’s a baker, she goes to bed at, like, 6:00 or something. And I need that contract.

Chanel: I’ll go with you.

Johnny: Great.

Chanel: What?

Johnny: I just realized I left a script with my grandma marlena. She’s probably reading it right now. Hope it doesn’t freak her out.

Marlena: Can you even hear yourself? You are being ridiculous.

John: Well, if I’m being so ridiculous, why don’t you just take your glasses off?

Marlena: Because I find the suggestion insulting. I tell you that my eyes are feeling sensitive, and you tell me that I’m possessed by the devil. Do you know how hurtful that is?

John: Well, it’s happened before. You can put your glasses right back on. I just want to take a good look at your eyes. It’s my 4:05 the-show-must-go-on

Kate: I don’t know. I mean, I just don’t get it. I mean, isn’t chloe aware that brady’s just that kind of guy that makes people want to punch him? I mean, I–

[Gasps] You’re here! Oh, your brother is in distress. He needs family, and I need a drink.

Roman: Well, I’ll just get right on that.

Kate: Chilly in here. So what do you say? Are you gonna help me? Apparently, chloe’s taken a powder, this one’s despondent, and nothing I say seems to help, so…

Lucas: Have you thought about just leaving him alone, giving him a break?

Philip: That was my idea!

Kate: No, that’s nonsense. This is kismet. All three of us are here together, and we’re gonna have a dinner–a family dinner. I insist.

Brady: So you and philip didn’t break up? What am I missing here? Because you said you moved out, your suitcases are in the corner there–

Chloe: Yeah, I did move out. That was always just a temporary arrangement until I recovered from my gunshot wound.

Brady: Sorry, I just kind of assumed–

Chloe: Well, you assumed wrong. Philip and I are just taking a step back, but we did not break up. I’m not–I’m not ready for that.

Brady: Even though he flips out every single time he sees us together?

Chloe: Well, I told him to get himself under control. And if he does, I think we could have a real future together.

Brady: That’s a big “if,” chlo.

Chloe: Brady, look at our history. I fell in love with phillip in high school, and I’m not ready to give up on him.

[Knock at door]

Allie: I’ll get it. Keep working. Oh, what are you doing here?

Johnny: And a cheery hello to you too. I came to pick up your contract. Catching up on your needlepoint?

Allie: I didn’t sign my contract, and I’m not going to until grandma gives you permission.

Johnny: And she did. Tonight.

Allie: Oh. So you finally wore her down?

Johnny: No, I swear. She even said she thought it was a good idea.

Allie: And what about grandpa john?

Johnny: No. No, he wasn’t happy at all.

Marlena: Okay, well… are you satisfied?

John: Relieved. Sorry.

Marlena: Well, that’s okay. I think you got all worked up about johnny’s movie. Kind of the power of suggestion.

John: Mm-mm, it wasn’t that. It wasn’t even your glasses. It’s–for a while now, you just haven’t seemed like yourself.

Marlena: [Scoffs] I just changed my mind about the movie, that’s all.

John: No, no, no, it’s more than that. You’ve changed in general.

Marlena: So you keep saying.

John: I’m not the only one who thinks that.

Marlena: What is that supposed to mean?

John: I came here to tell you that kayla just dropped by. She’s–she’s concerned. It seems she just found out that you were the one who extended doug’s order that he can’t have any visitors, not even julie. Why the hell did you do that? Before nexium 24hr,

Johnny: So you learn how to sew in home ec?

Tripp: Medical school. We need to know how to stitch up a split lip after some wise-ass gets the crap beat out of him.

Johnny: Ah, but those guys always have it coming, don’t you think? Hey, I just got a great idea. How would you feel about helping out with the costumes? I can’t pay you, but I’ll give you a screen credit.

Tripp: You know what? I’d love to, but I’m just super busy at the hospital saving lives and stuff.

Johnny: Right.

Allie: Here’s your contract. Although I still cannot believe that grandma agreed to this.

Johnny: Yeah, me neither. The final hurdle has been leapt. Let the filming begin.

Allie: Oh.

Johnny: “Oh”? What’s that supposed to mean?

Allie: No, it’s just– I don’t know, I guess I never thought that this movie was actually gonna be made, and now that it is, I–

Tripp: You want out?

Allie: No. No, I don’t want out. I–it’s just weird. My whole life I’ve spent vowing to never become my mother, and now I’m going to be playing her in a movie.

Lucas: Look, maybe it’s best that chloe moved out. It’ll give you both a chance to cool off. You know you need a little cooling-off period right now.

Kate: “Cooling off”?

Lucas: Mm-hmm.

Kate: There’s nothing to cool, okay? It’s done. It’s over. Fini. Rest in peace.

Philip: I never said that. I said that she moved out.

Lucas: Because you were blowing up about brady, right?

Kate: He punched brady. That’s it.

Philip: Yes, that’s the issue.

Lucas: You need to calm down, okay? Stay clear of brady and just give chloe some space. That’s all it takes.

Kate: “Give chloe space”? Give chloe the heave-ho.

Lucas: Come on.

Kate: Don’t you understand? You’re free of her now.

Philip: But don’t you see, mother, I don’t want to be.

Kate: [Sighs]

Brady: And no matter what, I just want you to be happy. If you want to give this another try with philip, again, then I hope he can give you everything that you want.

Chloe: Thank you.

Brady: But you still need to find a place to stay, right?

Chloe: Yeah, moving out was the right thing to do, but it was so spur-of-the-moment, I didn’t make any plans.

Brady: Well, don’t make the wrong assumption here about what I’m about to offer, but if you need a place to stay, you’re welcome to stay with me. This is the sound of an asthma attack…

Marlena: It’s true. I did extend the restrictions on doug’s visitors. And I don’t appreciate hearing about that from you, because that treatment of doug is between my patient and myself.

John: I didn’t pry. Kayla told me all about it. Doug… doug is practically like family. Come on, kayla says that julie is desperate to see him.

Marlena: I understand that, and I feel sorry for julie, but the thing is that doug is a danger to himself and to others.

John: I know he got a little agitated the other–

Marlena: “Agitated”? He hit her, over the head, with a tray. I was afraid, when she was on the ground, that he might have killed her.

John: All right, I know, that had to be frightening, but doug was left alone with julie at the hospital. At bayview, he’s gonna be supervised, he may even be restrained, and kayla thinks it would do him–

Marlena: Kayla is not in charge of doug’s case. I am. And if she has some concerns about my treatment of him, she can bring that up to me, not to you.

Chloe: Brady, have you been paying attention at all? Philip was already crazy jealous that you and I work together, but you think it’s a fine idea for me to move in with you?

Brady: With me? No. I’m suggesting you move in with my dad and marlena at their place. They’d love to have you.

Chloe: Well, thank you. That’s very nice of “them,” but I really think that you and I should just keep our own separate residences. I’m just gonna get a room at the salem inn.

Brady: Mm-hmm. Okay. Okay. But I insist–I insist on this. I’m helping you with your bags. It’s the least I can do.

Roman: Here you go. You guys want menus?

Philip: You know what? I’m not really that hungry. I think I’m just gonna head home.

Kate: Okay, I don’t think he should be alone.

Lucas: I think he’s had enough motherly advice for one night. Take a walk or something?

Philip: Great idea. Night, roman.

Roman: All right, take care.

Kate: Good night. Roman?

Roman: What? Too much vermouth?

Kate: It’s not like you to be snarky.

Roman: Yeah, well, it’s not like you to act like I’m not even in the room.

Kate: I don’t do that.

Roman: You just did that. And you’ve been doing it for a while. And you don’t have to, all right? I get the message. Apparently, you’re not interested in me the same way I’m interested in you, all right? It’s good, okay? I’m a big boy. I’m not gonna force myself on you, but at least I thought we could stay friends.

Kate: We are friends.

Roman: You don’t treat me like a friend; you treat me like an incompetent waiter.

Kate: There’s a reason for that.

Roman: [Laughs] What? I’m too pushy? I overstep my boundaries?

Kate: You were right! You were right about me and jake. You warned me that I was being foolish, of what was coming, that I was gonna be hurt, and it came. And I did get hurt. And now you can tell me that you told me so, and that would be so humiliating for me, so I have to pretend you’re not there so you can’t say it.

Roman: Damn.

[Laughs] You are a complicated woman.

Kate: God.

Roman: Listen to me, don’t you know I would never say, “I told you so” to you? Might think it. But here’s what I would tell you. I am really, really sorry that I was right. And that jake is so damn dumb that he doesn’t realize you are the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Kate: You make it very hard for me to pretend you’re not there. Charmin ultra soft has so much cushiony softness,

Roman: Well, okay. I’m sorry. That drink is on the house.

Kate: Roman, no. Don’t go. Don’t go. That’s not how I meant it. I didn’t mean it that way at all. It’s just that after this thing with jake, I feel like I’m just, you know, gun-shy about getting hurt.

Roman: So you said.

Kate: I mean, I know I should put everything that happened behind me, but, for some reason, I just– I just can’t, you know, and then there’s the way that you always know what I’m thinking and the way that you listen to me and the way you put up with what I have to say and the way you’re funny and make me laugh, you know, and I’m afraid that I’m gonna, you know… with you and for all the wrong reasons, really. And that’s not fair to you. That’s not fair to you because I’m just too screwed up right now to start anything, even though you are– well, you’re–

Roman: Clearly available.

Kate: No, you’re clearly very attractive to me. So there. I’ve said it. I’ve said it. Are you happy? I’ve said it.

Roman: For a moment, yeah. Good start.

Kate: Hell, you know, honestly, I think it’s so much easier for me to ridicule my son’s emotional life than to talk about my own.

Roman: Okay, I’ll tell you what, all right? Until further notice, your emotional life is off the table, okay? And since I haven’t heard that word yet signaling that you might be ready for something more, until that word or unless that word is “chowder,” I will respect your wishes and give you more space.

Kate: Okay. Thank you.

Roman: And you take all the time you need to get over that jerk– oh, my bad, jake, okay? Really, take all the time you need to get back to where you were. It’ll be worth the wait.

Chloe: Brady, thank you so much for carrying my luggage, but, really, you don’t have to take them all the way into the inn.

Brady: I’ve come this far. I might as well go the whole way.

Chloe: Thanks.

Philip: Ah, you were right. A walk did me good. Air cleared my head. Finally got me to stop thinking about…

Allie: Just let me know when I should put the pasta on.

Tripp: Any time. I’m all done.

Allie: Oh, wow, his initials. Tripp, it’s beautiful.

Tripp: Yeah, I know how much henry loves this blanket, and I didn’t want there to be any doubt about who it belongs to.

Allie: It’s amazing. You’re amazing.

Johnny: Could this night get any better? I feel like things are finally starting to fall into place.

Chanel: Before you know it, you’ll be the next bong joon ho.

Johnny: I could only hope to make something as good as “parasite,” although I think I might have a shot at it if you agreed to be in it.

Chanel: Oh, you mean, have I decided between theo’s mama lexie and his big mama celeste?

Johnny: Is there someone else you’d like to play?

Chanel: I’m just messing with you. I’ve decided I’d like to play celeste.

Johnny: Theo’s grandmother? Why?

Chanel: Okay, well, I don’t like being a grandmother, but I do like that she could see what everyone else couldn’T. That she knew before anyone else that evil had come to salem.

John: Hey, I didn’t mean to question your judgment. You’re doug’s doctor. I’m sure you’re only doing what you feel is best for him.

Marlena: Thank you. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’d like to get back to the script. I’m just getting to the good part.

John: All right. I’m gonna go try to whip up some dinner.

Marlena: Thank you. That’d be just great.

[Eerie music]

Demon marlena: John thought that he could trip me upe by having me take off my glasses.

[Sighs] Little does he know I am so powerful, I can change my appearance. But it does seem that john is still so suspicious, and that could become a problem. Evil dies tonight.

[ Crickets ]

Brooke: So, you need my help, with katie?

Bill: Yeah. It’s gotten to the point that i think I might lose her for good.

Carter: I actually believed that quinn and I had a future. That we’d run away together.

Katie: Run away?

Carter: Yeah, I was in denial. Thought it was what I thought it was. It was love, but it couldn’t have been, otherwise she’d be here, with me, and not eric. She’s gone. And I’m here. I’m here alone. Again.

[ Knocking on door ]

Thomas: Uh, yeah, coming. Oh, hi. Hope: Uh, hi. You didn’t respond, but I figured I’d take a chance anyway.

Thomas: What? Oh, my phone’s on silent. I’m sorry.

Hope: Uh, well, I think douglas might have forgotten his football here, and he needs it for practice, so I figured I would just come and–

[ Whispering ] My apologies. Uh, I didn’t realize, uh, you’re shirtless, and there are clothes on the floor, so I’m clearly interrupting something, so I should just–

Thomas: No, no, I’m just, I’m here by myself.

Hope: But what about the clothes on the floor?

Thomas: Oh yeah, they’re paris’.

Paris: You weren’t kidding when you said this is going to be a memorable night.

Zende: “Life changing,” I believe I called it.

Paris: Yeah, you did, that’s what you said. But let’s not change too much. The life that we’re living right now, I’m really feeling it. Awesome job, hot guy, I definitely want to stay on this path.

[ Glasses clinking ]

[ Suave instrumental ]

Hope: Paris?

Thomas: Yeah, uh, these are her clothes, and… all of these too. Yeah, things have, uh, things have escalated kinda quickly.

Hope: Escalated?

Thomas: Yeah, I mean, some people might think it’s fast, but… we’re ready for it., Oh, paris moved in. We’re living together now.

Paris: Ah, enough, enough, gonna give me a big head.

Zende: Impossible, but well-deserved. Listen to this testimonial. “Paris buckingham has shined since taking over the foundation, making bold and innovative choices.” Bold’s an understatement.

Paris: Mm. Okay yeah, the reviews, yeah, it’s always good to hear, but you know what’s even better than reviews?

Zende: Mm hm?

Paris: Go back to the main page. And then, go to latest ventures. So, that one right there, you might be interested in that.

Zende: Paris, this is the orphanage where I–

Paris: Yeah, I know. Keep reading.

Zende: The zende forrester scholarship fund? Oh my god, you really…

Paris: Don’t forget to write a review.

Bill: I thought we were finding our way back to each other, at least, it felt like we were. But then, will went off to boarding school, and since then, we hardly speak. Of course, my arrest didn’t score any tens with the judges. I need to get her back.

Katie: I didn’t realize things were that intense between you two. Carter, another man’s wife? We thought–

Carter: You thought wrong. Please understand, I never wanted to hurt eric. I never wanted to upset ridge, or any of you. I just finally wanted to have a turn. Katie: A turn?

Carter: You don’t get it. You can’t get it, because you’ve been married. You’ve experienced what I’ve never had, because guess what? No one sticks around long enough. I just thought this time would be different. Thought I’d finally get what I’ve been searching for.

Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

Hope: You really had me going there, for a second.

[ Laughing ]

Thomas: I’m kidding.

Hope: Oh!

Thomas: Yeah, you know, she, uh… I’m sure she wasn’t exactly expecting me to be here when she moved in, but she’s been really sweet about it.

Hope: Ah. You are sure that zende doesn’t have a problem?

Thomas: Doesn’t seem to.

Hope: Okay, I’m just saying… the woman he’s interested in, living with another man… he might be a little more bothered by it than you may think.

Zende: These kids are going to get scholarships in my name? I can’t believe it.

Paris: Well, you’ve been talking to me about how you want to give back. What better way?

Zende: You know, I was trying to be all smooth earlier, talking about how this would be a life-changing night, but… you are the one changing lives. Every day. Making the world a better place. Making my world the best it’s ever been.

Bill: Katie knows that I will do anything to prove to her that she can trust me, that she can believe in my commitment to her… but I think I may be out of chances. She said that she is exhausted, that she wants something different.

Ridge: Can’t really blame the woman.

Brooke: Ridge–

Ridge: I didn’t want to say anything, but how can katie trust you? You left a man dead on the side of the road.

Bill: I admit that I have made mistakes, but I am working on being better. I really am. I’m a changed man. I just need to prove that to katie.

Carter: Yeah, people think that I’m this happy-go-lucky bachelor, dating different women, keeping my options open, it’s not true. I’m not choosing this. I don’t want to be single. I’m not 20. I want to find love, like everyone else.

Katie: Maybe you want it a little too much. I mean, you’re able to justify things that, that… aren’t justifiable. Like, even taking zoey back, after the way she treated you, or… falling for someone else’s wife.

Carter: Yeah, yeah, what’s that saying, “I keep looking for love in the wrong places?” Maybe, I do… try to force things to work that shouldn’T. And this time I hurt people I care about. Ridge… eric, I– I don’t even– I don’t even know what to saY. I really did think… never mind. You’d never understand. You literally came here to judge me. You’re gonna judge me when you had it so good.

Katie: I’m sorry, I’ve had it good? Clearly, you don’t know me very well. You don’t know me at all.

Why is la roche-posay

worldwide?

Bill: I will do anything to get katie back.

Ridge: Oh, boy.

Brooke: Look, if you mean that, and if you truly mean that, then she’ll see it.

Bill: But she hasn’T. I can’t get through to her. Will you talk to her for me? Please? I don’t want to live my life without my katie.

Katie: You think because I’ve been married, that somehow I’m luckier than you? I’ve spent most of my adult life in love with a man who breaks my heart over and over again.

Carter: Look, I’m just saying that you’ve experienced something I’ve never had.

Katie: Oh, yeah, I’ve had a lot of experience. I’ve been with a man who says I make him better, who says that he doesn’t want to live his life without me. But you can say all those things, but if those words aren’t backed up by truth or resolve, or some kind of fight, then they’re just words. I mean, is that what you’re jealous of, a bunch of pretty words?

Carter: Yes, yes, yes. I’m jealous you had something, anything. I’ve never had that. I want to know what that feels like, katie, to feel like you’re important to somebody.

Katie: Oh, I wanna know too. I’d like to know that too. Because I’m only important to bill when he can’t have me. I am never more attractive than when I’m telling him no. This game we play. He’s charming, and he woos me, and he tells me that I’m the only woman in the world for him. And I buy it, hook, line and sinker. And then he… gets bored, or restless, or I don’t even know what. And he breaks my heart. And I think, I think, “okay, all right, this time, it’s over. This time, I’m done.” But there he is… begging me to take him back and telling me he’s gonna change and promising me, promising me, that this time… this time he won’t let me down, and… and so I take him back, I do. Because I… I don’t even know why. Hah. I just think I’ve been trying so hard to hang onto this thing that… that I lost, that I lost a long time ago. I mean, is that the kind of relationship you want?

Carter: I didn’t realize–

Katie: No, you didn’t realize. Please don’t make it out that I have some kind of perfect life, because… it’s not true. Do you know what love feels like to me, most of the time? It feels like I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop, wondering if… if I’ll ever be enough. You love… and then you lose. Love and loss. Love is loss.

Thomas: You know, I will say this. Zende did make a point of telling me how serious he is about paris.

Hope: See?

Thomas: But he also told me he’s not jealous in any way. Why would he be? Look, I’m his cousin, and he trusts me. And more than that, he trusts paris. She’s crazy about him, and he knows that. Zende knows he has nothing to worry about.

[ Fire crackling ]

[ Soft instrumental ] We see you.

[ Fire crackling ]

Paris: You know what?

Zende: Mm hm?

Paris: It was definitely worth the wait.

Zende: More than worth the wait. Turns out I was right.

Paris: About what? How big this night would be for us.

Paris: Life-changing.

Carter: Love is loss? Do you really believe that?

Katie: Feels that way, sometimes. We can’t all be brooke logan, right? I mean, if you want to be jealous of someone, you should be jealous of her, because every relationship she has ever had, she has been the center of the universe for that man. I mean, men live and breathe for her, and always have.

Carter: Yeah, I wanted to do that. For zoey. Quinn, even more so. I want someone to care for me the way brooke cares for ridge. Someone to fight for me, and give up anything. I guess that woman doesn’t exist. I realize that I made you mad when I brought up your marriage, and I apologize. But katie, even if it didn’t work out, at least… at least you had a shot. I never got that. You have no… idea how alone I feel.

Katie: You think I don’t know about loneliness? Seriously? You can live in a house full of people, and still feel all by yourself. Bill, he’s really good at making you feel like you’re the only person in the room, but he’s even better at making you feel completely invisible. I’ve actually never felt so alone in my entire life. So… please don’t make assumptions about me.

Carter: I think you just caught me in a bad time. I’m hurting, katie.

Katie: I know, I can see that. And I know that you realize that that what happened with quinn shouldn’t have, but I don’t like seeing you in pain. Don’t give up.

Carter: On what?

Katie: On love.

[ Scoffing ]

Carter: After the way you described it? I feel like giving up is my best option.

Katie: Well… maybe you just caught me at a bad time. There’s someone out there for you.

Carter: Yeah. Someone I can fall for, who’D… rather be with another guy. Happens every time. After a while, you have to ask yourself, “what’s wrong with me?” Why can’t a woman appreciate what I have to offer? A woman who wants to be loved as much as I do, who wants commitment, a family. Is that too much to ask? Maybe my destiny is to be alone.

Katie: You know what I think? I think there’s no such thing as destiny. I think it’s all just luck. Maybe, we’re unlucky. Unlucky in love. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to come over here and lay all this stuff on you. I– I barged in here, uninvited… and judged you, and I’m sorry.

Carter: Forgiven. And next time, consider yourself… invited. For people who could use a lift could not do it without you.
