THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Indistinct conversations ] Alexis? Are you okay?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. Just catching up on the classics. Russians. Mm. Just really heavy on the misery. Why am — why the hell — I don’t need to read this. I can just look to my own family for their dysfunctional dna. Are you satisfied? My son turned his back on me, his father, his only living parent… who would gladly die for him. Hell, I did that! Or at least I let the world

believe I was dead to regain control of the cassadine legacy. And you want the satisfaction of taking all of that away.

[ Chuckles ] I can’t believe you’re gonna try to position yourself as the victim here. Your son opened his eyes and saw you for who you really are — the bastard who let me go to prison for six years for a crime I didn’t commit. Now, you sent someone to kill hayden, but you let me take the fall. Now, you might not want to own the truth, oh, but your son has. For all of spencer’s faults, he is 10 times the man you will ever be.

[ Trina humming ]

I’m flying so high

don’t know the sky

everything’s fine

[ Humming stops ]

[ Footsteps approach ]

[ Ominous music plays ] -Hey, you. -Hey. Hey, where is everybody? I don’t see anyone else working. Can I help out? No. I’m good. Thanks. Well, did someone call in sick? No. Spencer walked out in the middle of his shift. Couldn’t even survive one day. I stick my neck out for him and hire him, even though he has no experience and a lousy attitude, and he bails on me day one. What’s wrong with the guy? Oh. Good. You guys are here. No sign of ava or spence’s dad. I can’t tell you what a relief it is to be among friends. Where? What friends?

[ Sighs ]

Tochter. Mother? Britta. You came to get me.

[ Sobbing ] Oh, my god. What did I do?

[ Breathing sharply ] You better have a location on that woman.

[ Inhales sharply ] Ahh. Hello?!

[ Gun cocks ] Do you hear me?! I want answer– you shouldn’t have come here. Shut up! Move.


so, nikolas, my nephew… mm-hmm. I always thought he might be a good cassadine ’cause he had a nice mother. And he was good for a while. And in about 10 years or so, he went bad, went to the dark side, became a real cassadine. And then there’s his son, spencer, who, um, went to france, boarding school, came home, graduated, back in port charles, decided that he couldn’t stand his — his father’s wife, ava, and he set out to break them up. Mm. How bad did it get? He stalked her. Oh. You know, at first, he started out just sending her creepy gifts, and then it sort of accelerated into full-blown stalking until finally, he torched her car. You know, the cassadines don’t sound so strange to me. Really? Yeah. Not compared to shiloh and dawn of day. Mm. I spent years under the spell of a man who demanded unwavering loyalty from his family in exchange for betrayal and abuse. So, you know… at least no matter how misguided spencer’s actions were, they were motivated by love. I suppose that’S… one way to look at it.

[ Sighs ] I mean, the poor kid, he idolized his father. And if he had just seen his flaws and recognized them instead of becoming like him… mm-hmm. You’re not really speaking about spencer, are you? You know, you may have made a good therapist had you gone that route.

[ Chuckles ] No, I’m not. ‘Cause the same holds true for nikolas. I just had so much hope that he would become that young man that I knew and loved so much. But, alas, he didn’t, and I was dead wrong. Spare me the “holier than thou” attitude. You don’t give a damn about spencer. You were just trying to use him to wring a confession out of me. I did spencer a favor and opened his eyes.

[ Scoffs ] So now maybe your son doesn’t have to turn himself inside out, making everyone else miserable trying to earn your respect. I don’t suppose that you explained to spencer why you pled guilty to shooting hayden, did you? Yeah. I didn’t think so. You thought you actually shot hayden. Because you were at that garage on sonny’s orders to kill someone! Or are you gonna stand there and claim that your hands are clean? I paid for my mistakes, just like I paid for yours. But there’s still one debt left outstanding. What’s that? The one you’ve owed hayden ever since you tried to have her killed. She’s entitled to justice, and you’re gonna give it to her. Spencer, what are you doing here? I took a chance you’d be here. Is ava around? No. But I could get her here. In minutes. Or the police. Please don’t do that — either call. Haven’t seen you since you were arrested. A lot’s happened since then. Joss told me dr. Collins paid for your bail. She also said that cam got you a job at kelly’S. Isn’t this your first day?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, it was. What happened? I burned myself trying to pull an espresso shot. Hm. At least that’ll heal. Spencer, if you have troubles, you have a girlfriend. Talk to esme. She’s busy. She started her internship at spring ridge. Besides, you’re really the person I wanted to talk to. Why? Because. I needed a friend. A real friend. I think that you and i define the word “friend” very differently. Okay. I know that you guys are more spence’s friends than mine, and I realize we’ve had some differences, but at the end of the day, like at spence’s arraignment, we’re on the same page. Now he’s free on bail, and thanks to his good friend cam, he has his first real job. What did I miss? And, um, where’s spence? Well, your guess is as good as ours. You mean he’s not here? Mnh-mnh. Yeah, he actually walked out without saying goodbye. I had to cover for him. Spence quit? And he didn’t even tell you? I’M…so sorry, cam. Chalk it up to that dysfunctional family of his. Spence’s dad and ava showed up here and expected spence to wait on him. I mean, he hadn’t even figured out the ropes of how to do his job well yet, and he was embarrassed. He didn’t say anything, but I knew it really upset him. Josslyn: Yeah. No matter how hard spencer tries, he just can’t escape the influence of the cassadines. I swear to you, mother. I didn’t mean to hurt you. Didn’t you, britta? If you wanted me dead… you made your point!

[ Laughs ] Ohh! Stop. This is not a time for mom jokes, okay? Lie still. I need to examine you. Okay. Thankfully, the spear only pierced your side. It missed all your vital organs. There are some people who would say I have no heart to hit. But they’re wrong. Because if I die… I want it to be in your arms. Listen to me. You’re not gonna die. Okay? I didn’t come all this way to lose you. Okay. Yes. How did you find me? Did you come by yourself? First things first. The barbed tip came out the other side. Then you m-must push it all the way through. Okay. I-I know that. But I don’t have anything to numb the pain. After weeks of being held captive, seeing your beautiful face is all I need to sustain me, britta. I think you’re delirious. All right. This’ll do. Here. Bite down. -Ready? -[ Grunts ]

[ Groans ]

[ Breathing sharply ] You with me, mom?

[ Groans ] Clearly, you won this round, jason, but you’re not getting off this island alive, you know that, don’t you? First sign of a guard, you’re dead. Well, I clearly have something you want, or I’d be dead already. Well, maybe I should reconsider.

[ Grunts ]


Oot me, every guard onthis island’s gonna be here. Yeah, but you’d be dead, and that would make a whole lot of people really happy. I have something you want, jason. You kill me, you’re not gonna get it. I want obrecht, and she better be alive. What the hell do you care whether liesl obrecht lives or d– britt send you, didn’t she? Or did you bring her with you, hmm? Never mind. I’ll find obrecht myself. But not if the guards find you first! All right? Look. Liesl could be anywhere. She just threw acid on my hand and left right before you got here.

[ Radio crackles ] Guard: Mr. August.

No sign of her.

Unless she swim for it. Tell the guards to converge on the lighthouse at the north end of the island and wait there for further instruction.

[ Radio beeps ] Converge on the lighthouse, north side of the island. Wait there for further instructions.

Copy that.

[ Radio beeps ] Get up. Let’s go. Where are you taking me, jason? Not the lighthouse. A very professional field dressing, britta. You do me proud. It’s temporary. I still need to get you to a hospital.

[ Groans ] Perhaps I spoke too soon. Not so tight! Didn’t they teach you that in medical school?! Sorry. I must have missed the “how to treat a spearfishing wound in an abandoned shack” class!

[ Sighs ] This’ll have to do for now.

[ Groans ] Where is he? “He” who? You don’t think I infiltrated cassadine island alone, do you? Jason morg an came with me.He’s gone searching for you. Ahh! I knew it! Jason came to his senses, jilted carly, and came running to your side. Congratulations on your victory, tochter. Do you remember why hayden first came to port charles? When drew cain was struggling with memory issues, ric lansing hired her to come to town and claim to be his wife. Yeah, so what? T-that entitles you to have her killed? All right. Obviously, you were monitoring my conversation with my son tonight.

[ Sighs ] So what? There was no confession. There’s no proverbial smoking gun. I mean, the police haven’t shown interest in this case for years. All my lawyers have to dois remind the court that these claims are being brought by a former hitman for the mob. You’ll be laughed out of court. You’ve got nothing. But you are no innocent, nikolas. Everyone knows you’re shady and can’t be trusted. And somehow hayden is more trustworthy? Why do you keep talking about her like she’s mother teresa?! Hayden barnes is a grifter. Look, hayden may not be a saint, but she’s still a human being who was shot. And she still deserves justice. You think you are on some noble mission. But the truth is… hayden already knows. Hayden has always known. I hear the tone of your voice, and you sound sincere, but there are alarm bells going off in my head telling me to run, not walk, to the nearest exit. I’d never hurt you, trina, and I’m really sorry about what I did to ava, but I did it all for my father because I truly believed that ava was bad for him and I wanted to free him of her influence. I knew that the stalking was wrong, that it was a risk if I got caught, but I thought he was worth it. And now I realize that my father’s not the man that I thought that he was. It’s almost like I never knew him at all.

[ Cellphone rings ] It’s joss.

[ Ringing stops ] Why didn’t you answer? I see how badly you’re hurting. And I want to believe you. But part of me can’t help asking… is this another one of your lies? Hey, trina. It’s me. I was just wondering if you’d seen spencer tonight. Just text me back. If trina had helped to convince ava to drop the charges, we wouldn’t be in this mess. No. No. Your boyfriend got himself into this mess the day he decided to stalk his stepmother. Now he left me shorthanded. I have to cover his shift when I got plenty of homework that needs doing. Typical spencer. Thinks of no one but himself. Cameron, wait. I understand that spence let you down, but you guys have to understand that this is all new to him.

[ Scoffs ] I mean, he’s never had a job before, much less one waiting tables. He’s not used to those kinds of responsibilities. Spence is spoiled. He’s an only child. He’s never had a mother. And he’s facing criminal charges. Spencer’s been c harged withsomething he actually did, and kevin bailed him out. He’s not even on house arrest. So, please. But… I know. He feels isolated and all alone. He needs to be around people he cares about who also care for him. So I was thinking if we could just get him out of port charles, just for a day or so.

[ Scoffs ] What? Like a road trip? Cam! What a great idea! The four of us on our own. What better way for us to bond? Can we wait until we’re off this godforsaken island before we discuss my love life, which, for the record, is nonexistent? So you’re not back together with jason? We came here to rescue you. Isn’t that enough? No! If the man is willing to risk life and limb to help you rescue me, when he despises me for past transgressions, that should indicate

some interest on his part. No. Mother, he didn’t jilt carly, okay? He married her, and they would still be on their honeymoon if sonny hadn’t come back. Carly’s husband returned? Yeah. Yes.

[ Groans ] And the marriage is invalid. So jason was free to help me rescue you. Which is nice. I’ll give you that. But he’s a nice guy. He’s a lethal killer. Who really, really wants peter dead, so we are collaborating. There is nothing romantic. Are you certain? Did you miss the part where jason was fully prepared to marry someone else?! He chose carly. He will always choose carly. But her husband is back. That doesn’t matter. She will always come first in jason’s life, and I refuse to come second. Good for you, tochter. Demand the respect you are due and stick to your guns, no matter how tempted you may be to relent. I am not tempted! Yet. But danger and gratitude are powerful aphrodisiacs. And if jason succeeds in delivering us from this wretched island… you may find yourself wavering.

[ Chuckles, groans ]


Nd your, um,disappointment in your nephew, but in all fairness, nikolas is the same person who defied cyrus and made sure that you were safe in pentonville. I know firsthand what it’s like to go up against cyrus renault, and your nephew had to be very brave to do that. Well, he’s a very complicated guy. With one hand, he takes what he wants for himself, and with the other hand, he offers me something no one else can. How so? He’s friends with the governor and can arrange to give me a full pardon. You can go free? All I have to do is say yes. You make it sound like it’s a problem. What’s stopping you? Hayden t old me she had hersuspicions, but she didn’t say. That was five years ago. You’re a little behind the times. So, listen to me. Hayden knew, and hayden being hayden, she used it to her advantage. Or did no one tell you? She and I came back to port charles together to reclaim the cassadine estate from valentin and return it to me. I knew hayden was working with you. I assumed because she didn’t know you already tried to kill her once. Oh, hayden stood to profit from my return. She was willing to let bygones be bygones in order to line her own pocket. So, if you thought you were doing right by hayden, I’m sorry, shawn. She’s over it. I can’t help you. But… if this is about you moving forward, putting the past behind, then you’ve come to the right man. Spencer: I guess I deserve your suspicion, but I swear to you, I’m not lying. And I know this is true because your nose isn’t growing? Because you know me. I thought I knew victor. But he turned out to be a fake and a fraud. He used me. Used our friendship to do something cruel to someone who’s been nothing but kind to me. Ava is not who you think. Someday you’ll learn the truth about her. Just like I learned the truth about you? I’m sorry, spencer, but if you thought you’d find a shoulder to cry on, you came to the wrong place. I just don’t trust you. Any more than I trust my own feelings about you. There are all kinds of cool cabins to rent on this website, you know, where they look rustic but have all the major conveniences. Here’s one with a fireplace in every room with a california-king-size bed. It’s perfect. Spence and I could stay in one cabin, and the two of you can stay in another. Uh, that sounds really nice, but I can’t really afford to take any time off of work, so… was it something I said? No. He has work obligations, and I’m going to the library. I’m not trying to be nosy, but how long have you guys been dating? And you still haven’t had sex yet? Don’t worry, things didn’t happen overnight for spence and me, either. For all his sophistication, spence was really shy and inexperienced. But we figured it out. You and cam will, too. I don’t care what you and spencer do or don’t do when you’re alone. And you don’t know anything about cam and me. You don’t have to be uptight around me. I would never judge my friends.

[ Scoffs ] Except we’re not friends. And you know that. Get inside. You’re the boss. Nice of you to join us. Say hello to your brother.


Can’t reveal thedetails of what nikolas wants in exchange for my release. It’s complicated. Because he wants something in exchange? I mean, isn’t that — isn’t that how the world works? Wow. I thought i was cynical. No. No, not cynical. Just realistic. Once you’ve survived the likes of shiloh and cyrus, you just kind of tend to put aside the rose-colored glasses. I stopped holding out hope for goodness and virtue to triumph because, in my experience, they, uh, they rarely do. So what are you waiting for? You’re sober. You’re making it up to the people that you hurt. There’s no reason for you not to take your nephew’s offer, unless… unless what? Unless you’d rather stay here. You didn’t go straight to the cops with this theory, which tells me you know your case is weak. Hey, there’s no shame in that. You took your best shot. Now it’s time to bargain. So put your cards on the table. There must be something you want. All the time you stole from me… …no amount of money can buy that. I understand why you feel that way. And I hope you feel better now that you got that off your chest. But let’s get real. I can’t give you the time back. Hayden’s over the situation. So instead of focusing on the time that you lost with T.J., Focus on enjoying the time with him now. I’m opening negotiations. Name a figure that would enable you to leave the past in the past and allow us to both move on. Then you haven’t given up on me. I didn’t make you hate me? I don’t hate you. I just can’t let myself believe in you or anything you say. I know that I need to win back your trust. I-I didn’t come here tonight for you to hold my hand and say, “there, there.” Really? Because it seems like that’s what you wanted. I wanted someone to be honest with me, to talk to me the way that nobody had ever talked to me until I met you, trina. You may not trust me, but I trust you. I came here tonight because I wanted to let you know that I’m over this sad, pathetic game with my father. To hell with him. Okay? I will find my own way, I promise. Nope! No more promises. You’re good with your words, spencer, but your words don’t match your actions. So I need something else from you. I need you to prove yourself, not by what you say but by what you do. Do you remember what you said to me at the hospital, that minding my business is free but minding yours will cost me? Right back at you, esme. Don’t mind my business. Don’t comment on it. And don’t waste your time pretending to be my friend when we both know that you’re not. I just hope that spencer wakes up in time to see the real you before it’s too late. Well, would you look at this? Brothers reunited but on opposite sides. I smell a mini-series. Let her go. If he kills me, kill her. No! Drew, don’t listen to him! Think of your daughter! Think of scout! Kill peter, jason! Kill him! Kill that son of a bitch. We’ll figure the rest out later.


Place is a hell of a lotbetter than pentonville. We both know that. But why the hell would anyone want to stay here if they didn’t have to? Lots of reasons. Because you’re safe here, because almost every decision is made for you, because you know who you are in here.

[ Chuckles ] You’re pretty good. Yeah, I know what to expect here. Every day when I wake up, I know what chores I-I’ll do. I know that drinking won’t be an option. And, you know, when I leave here, it’ll be totally unknown. Because I won’t have a job to go to or a special someone to go home to. I should have a lot of free time on my hands. You know, and there will be a lot of alcohol everywhere, you know, in every bar, in every restaurant, or I can just order it and have it delivered at home, like I used to. You know, it’s okay to be scared of life on the outside. There’s a whole lot of unknowns, to worry that maybe you haven’t actually hit your rock bottom.

[ Laughs ] Oh. I used to pride myself on having my own mind and making my own decisions, and now I’m terrified

[Laughs] Of my decisions.

[ Sighs ] And all the temptations that I don’t have access to here I’ll — I will have access to when I’m — I’m — I’m out there. So, you know, it’s easy to be strong when you don’t have the option to be weak. Yeah. So what are you gonna do? Are you just gonna stay in here, hiding? You know, life is — it’s full of prisons, and I’m not talking about this one, with the locks on the doors, with the fence around the perimeter. I’m talking about the prisons that we create for ourselves in our own minds. Trust me, I’ve been there.

[ Sighs ] So before you — you turn down an offer to go free, you got to ask yourself something. “Can I do more good in here or out there in the world?” There’s no price tag on the years you spent in prison. But like I said, this isn’t about your past. It’s about your future. My opening offer is $500,000. Nah. I’m not like you, nikolas. People aren’t a commodity to me. Without a confession, you have nothing. Without hayden, you have less than nothing. Yeah. You made sure of that, I know. Hayden’s gone. She chose to leave her old life behind. Now it’s your turn. You need a new life. That costs money. I can make that happen. Spencer: Help me out, trina. Tell me what I can do to repair things. I can’t tell you what to do, but what I do know is you need to stop looking at other people to define you. Isn’t that what you were doing with your dad? Isn’t that what you’re doing with — with your girlfriend? I just want you to respect me. I want you to be proud to be my friend. I really value your opinion, trina. You want to earn my respect? It’s not gonna happen overnight. It starts by honoring your commitments. Go back to that job you hate. Stick with it and learn to do it well. And maybe you’ll become someone your friends can count on. And maybe that starts by choosing better people to associate with. Trina, what if I can’t escape it? What if, no matter how hard I try, I turn into my father? That’s B.S., And you know it. I don’t believe in fate or destiny. Those are just excuses for laziness or selfishness. You don’t want to turn out like your father? Then don’T. This is on you, spencer. Just you.

[ Sighs ] I wish things didn’t have to be like this with us, but it is what it is. Sorry I tried to have an adult conversation with you. I won’t make that mistake again. All righty. Kitchen crisis handled. What did I miss? No one important. Kill him, jason. Kill him! Your brother has that navy seal training — take no prisoners. Listen, don’t worry about me, okay? But my mother needs medical attention. Do what you have to do. I’m not going anywhere without my britta. Shoot that schwein and be done with it. Only two ways to save britt, jason. Lower your gun or kill your brother.


Where did esme go? She left, and she took her friendship with her. She really gets on your nerves, huh? Was it, uh, all that talk about spending the weekend together?

[ Sighs ] Can we talk about anything else? Cam, I am really sorry about taking off before. Something came up. It was a family emergency. I am so sorry. And that justifies you walking off the job? All right, um, I’m gonna leave you to it. No, no, no. Stick around, joss. It’s fine. This will not take long. I have things to do. I really am sorry. No, no. I — I do not care about your apology. I went out on a limb for you by hiring you, by giving you a chance, and how do you repay me? You walk out without even saying a word. That’s it, spencer. You blew it. You’re fired.

[ Cellphone rings ] Joss, what’s up? Hi. What are you doing tonight? I’m supposed to be working on a project, but I had an unexpected visitor. Huh. Let me guess — it was spencer. Yep. Are you okay? I’ll live. You? Well, I just had a run-in with esme. She’s a piece of work. Sounds like we both need to talk. Meet you at kelly’s? No. Cam’s not done working. I’ll come to you. Spencer: You want to fire me? Go ahead. But let me make this clear — I didn’t quit. I had a family emergency with my father. Was he hurt? No, it wasn’t that kind of emergency. I had something really important to ask him. And the way that he answered told me everything, and I’m done with him. So I came back here because I really need this stupid job. And I’m not saying that I like it, but I need it. And I think that I really could have been good at this job, but I guess now we’ll never know. Spencer, wait. Take it. Now get back to work. This offer is good for a limited time. You’ll never get a better one, not from the pcpd or the da’s office, that’s for sure. Definitely not from hayden. So, what do you say? Can you leave the past behind to invest in your future? Hey, I get why this is difficult for you. You know, once you leave these locked doors, there’s a whole bunch of unknowns out there, as well as all the people that have disappointed you. Not to mention all the times and ways that I’ve disappointed myself. Mm-hmm. Yeah. You have any idea what you’re gonna do? Well, I know what I’m not gonna do. I’m not going against my conscience to gain my freedom. I don’t want any part of my nephew or his dirty offer. Come on, jason, you’re an excellent shot. You can take out drew right now and leave britt unharmed, just like you shot my father when he took carly hostage. Your only other alternative is to kill me and hope drew doesn’t hurt britt. I’m okay with that, jason. I’ll take my chances. Just kill this bastard! No, britta! Drew will kill her, jason. It’s his mission. If you don’t believe me, ask liesl. Peter’s right. While the conditioning is active, nothing will stop drew from completing whatever mission he’s given. So there you have it. It all boils down to one simple question, jason — do you want your brother’s blood on your hands?

[ Gun thuds ]

[ Laughs ] Take it.

[ Grunts ] I just saved your life, sis. If you had tried to shoot me, drew would have killed you and jason for trying to save you in the meantime. So now look at it this way — we all get to live a little bit longer… for now.

Devon: I can’t believe it. I just can’t believe that chance could be dead.

Mariah: “Could be”? Christine brought definitive proof — the watch, the wedding ring.

Tessa: I mean, it’s still a possibility that he survived the explosion. He might’ve just not been wearing them when it happened.

Mariah: Do you believe that?

Devon: Abby does. And I think that she’s really gonna need our help accepting the truth if she’s wrong.

Ashley: Bye, sharon. Thanks again.

Victor: [ Sighs ] Sharon is a good listener. Hopefully she was able to help abby.

Ashley: I hope so. I hope abby can get some sleep. I hate this, feeling so helpless.

Victor: I know, I know. Been a long time since I’ve seen you helpless.

Ashley: I could say the same thing about you. You, who always controls every single situation.

Victor: You know, all the money and power I have means nothing right now. I so want to be able to fix it for her.

Ashley: I do, too.

Victor: Yeah.

Ashley: She’s in agony. Poor thing. She’s just suffering, and there’s nothing I can do to alleviate it. It’s like a mother’s worst nightmare.

Mariah: Look at you. You are such a brave little boy. Too bad that you’ve had to be. You had to be bombarded by my stress hormones when we were in that room, and I did my best to keep my fear and anxiety to a minimum, ’cause I knew when i got upset, it would make you feel upset. Do you think he’s okay?

Tessa: I mean, he was cooing just a minute ago. I think he’s perfect in every way. But, mariah, I think that this situation might have brought up some trauma for you.

Victor: I think you should know that I called nate hastings, okay? I asked him to be here. I think we need to have a doctor around. Especially someone who knows abby and knows the family, and I’d rather err on the side of caution, you know?

Ashley: Think that’s a good idea?

Victor: Yeah.

Ashley: I hope it’s not necessary.

Victor: [ Sighs ]

Ashley: I mean, look, I know it’s not rational to think that maybe abby would have a break with reality the way that I did, but I can’t help but be a little afraid.

Victor: I remember that.

Ashley: Well…

Victor: Hope she doesn’t have to go through that. But if she does, you and I will be here to help her through it.

Ashley: Yeah. Whether she wants us to or not.

Victor: And when she gets to the other side of it, hopefully soon, she’ll realize that you and I did not abandon her.

Ashley: I’m gonna go sit with her.

Victor: Okay. Some people have joint pain,

provided by…

Mariah: I appreciate your concern, but I’m fine, okay? Can you please tell her that I’m fine?

Devon: I mean, I think she knows, but this has been hard on everybody, so you can’t blame her for looking out for you. She’s very good at it.

Mariah: Yes, she is. Tessa’s the best, and she knows me better than anyone. But this isn’t about me, you know? It’s about this little boy right here. I just want to make sure that he doesn’t absorb all of the negativity in that house.

Devon: Yeah, no, I know what you mean, but, you know, we have to trust that ashley and the rest of the family are gonna be able to take care of dominic while abby’s going through all this.

Tessa: He’s going to be loved and taken care of.

Devon: There’s really nothing to worry about at all. You know he’s in good hands.

Tessa: They’re not gonna let anything bad happen to him, and I’m not gonna let anything bad happen to you. So maybe we can go back to our hotel and just rest up a little bit?

Mariah: Yes. Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Soon, though, ’cause while dominic’s here, I want to stay. I want to be here if he needs me.

[ Door closes ]

Victor: Nate. Thank you for coming on such short notice, okay?

Nate: Of course. How is abby?

Victor: Not well. Sharon was with her earlier and thought that she was in a state of denial. She’s in the kitchen right now with ashley making some tea. If you don’t mind my saying so, I think that she may need some, you know, low-dose anti-anxiety pills. But that’s your expertise.

Nate: Whatever abby needs, I’m here for.

Victor: Now, ashley and abby will return momentarily, so make yourself comfortable. If you need me, I’ll be in the den, alright? Thanks, man.

Nate: [ Sighs ]

[ Clears throat ]

[ Exhales sharply ]

Abby: Nate, what are you doing here?

Nate: Hey, I’m sorry to hear about what you’re going through.

Abby: Did they call you to give me a sedative or something?

Ashley: Maybe this isn’t a good time.

Abby: What my mom is trying to say is that sharon just left, and that was enough. I don’t need a doctor.

Nate: You’re right, I was called here as a doctor, but as your friend, I’ve been where you are. I just came by to talk, see how you were doing.

Abby: That’s all?

Nate: You don’t even have to respond if you don’t want to. Just hang out with me for a few minutes.

Abby: [ Sighs ] Mom, I’m gonna talk to nate. Could you just stay close by?

[ Sighs ]

Nate: [ Clears throat ] You think chance is still out there.

Abby: You said that like a statement, not a question. And this isn’t a matter of denial. Look, yes, they found his watch and ring at the explosion site, but they didn’t find him. So I can hear the news and I can hold his ring in my hand. But in my heart, I just — I don’t think…he’s alive. I know it. He’s not dead.

Devon: So ashley just said that nate is there with abby right now.

Tessa: Oh, that’s good. He’s a calming presence.

Devon: Yeah. And abby is asking me to bring the baby back home.

Mariah: Do you think that’s a good idea?

Devon: I do, actually, ’cause his mother and his grandparents are ready to take care of him.

Tessa: Yeah, he belongs at home.

Mariah: Yeah. Yeah, you’re right. You sure you don’t need help getting him back to the chancellor house?

Devon: No, no, I’m fine. I appreciate it. I left bread crumbs.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ]

Tessa: Can I take you back to our suite now?

Devon: I promise you, you have nothing to worry about. That little boy knows what strength and safety feels like because you protected him for all that time. Don’t forget that. Let some other people look after him now.

Mariah: Okay. Let’s go. Alright, buddy. I’ll see you soon, okay?

Nate: I know how you feel. You know I lost my fiancéE. I remember how hard it was having to admit she was gone.

Abby: Yeah, you told me how awful that was for you. But this is not the same situation. You — you saw carolyn. You knew the truth. I don’t have that. Yes, other people think chance is gone, but…I can’T.

Nate: Yeah, I get it. Having to accept the news or the evidence that they’ve given you, your husband can’t come back, right? I think it’s common when we lose someone abruptly like this. We don’t want to let go of hope.

Abby: No, I can’t let go. And, yes, I have had my moments of doubt, like when christine gave me this. But I was in shock. And now I see things clearly. I mean, really, nothing has really changed. I mean, chance was gone before, and he’s — he’s still gone now, but…you know, he promised that he was gonna come home. And he iS. I know he is. So what I really need now is to just have faith in my husband and have faith in us.

Nate: Yeah. I understand.

Abby: Oh, stop. Stop trying to placate me.

Nate: [ Sighs ] Don’t settle. Start your day with secret.

Nate: Can you hear yourself?

Abby: Well, it’s normal to get defensive when people refuse to believe what you’re saying.

Nate: It’s also normal to overreact when you’re running on fumes. Have you eaten?

Abby: I had a sandwich earlier.

Nate: Really? Or is that you’re telling everyone? Look, if what you’re saying is true and chance is still out there, then you owe it to him and the baby to stay healthy. When did you last sleep?

Abby: That doesn’t matter.

Nate: It does. You need to eat and you need some rest. I’m having some anti-anxiety medication delivered. It’s a low dose, but it’ll calm you down and help you sleep.

Abby: Look, I appreciate it, but I need to stay alert and awake, for dominic.

Ashley: Honey. I promise that I’m gonna be right here for the baby as soon as devon brings him back home, okay? Could you please go upstairs and sleep?

Abby: Fine, fine, but I’m gonna rest here on the couch in the living room. That way, I’m close by in case we hear anything.

Ashley: Yes. Please just close your eyes and rest.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

Sharon: Oh, hi, devon.

Devon: Hey, sharon. How’d everything go with abby?

Sharon: Um…well, you know the stages of grief, right?

Devon: I do.

Sharon: And the first one is denial. That’s right where she’s stuck, and I’m afraid that it’s gonna take her a while to get out of it.

Devon: You think she’s that bad?

Sharon: I really wish that we could fix someone with just a touch or a word, I mean, especially in times like these. It’s so frustrating. She won’t even talk about her feelings. She won’t acknowledge them. There’s just nothing I can do.

Devon: I know. I do know. But I think that I may have something that will bring you some joy.

Mariah: No, no, there’s no need to send this to jack. Why don’t I take a look at the numbers and see if I can 5% out of the budget? And if I can’t, then I can bring him in. Okay? Yeah, give me like 30 minutes. Cool. Bye.

[ Sighs ]

Tessa: Everything okay at work?

Mariah: Yeah, it’s fine. I’m just trying to distract myself with budgets and deadlines.

Tessa: But your mind is really elsewhere?

Mariah: Yeah. On the baby. I just — I hate leaving him. What?

Tessa: Nothing.

Mariah: You’re staring at me.

Tessa: I mean, I find you very attractive.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ] Thank you. I appreciate that. But…it’s not why you’re looking at me. I promise you I am fighting all of my urges when it comes to the baby, but you still think I’m slipping, am I right?

Tessa: I’m a little worried. You got pretty worked up at crimson lights. It seems as if you feel you are the only one who can properly take care of dominic.

Mariah: I can’t help wanting to be there for him. I thought you understood that i have a bond with dominic.

Tessa: I do. But I’m concerned that that urge, that instinct to just wrap him up and shield him from danger, it’s — it’s gonna cause you pain. And that really breaks my heart.

Nate: So you were hungry.

Abby: I was. And, um…sure, I will take the medication. But honestly, I’m feeling tired, so I think that I’ll be able to get some rest on my own.

Nate: That’d be good. I just want to tell you i understand how much chance meant to you. When you and I were together, you made it clear you didn’t want anything serious because you weren’t ready, after your prior relationship had fallen apart. And then chance came into your life. I watched as you fell hard and fast. That love is still there, and it will always be a part of you.

Abby: Thank you, but, uh, you’re speaking like it’s already over. Like we know chance is gone. But we don’t know that. No one knows that for certain.

Nate: You’re right. My mistake. Get some rest, abby.

Abby: Chance, you can’t be gone. With downy infusions, let the scent set the mood.

Victor: Thank you for coming, nate.

Nate: I hope I was of some help.

Victor: You bet.

Nate: The medication i ordered should be delivered soon. Make sure abby follows the instructions.

Ashley: Absolutely.

Victor: Appreciate it.

Ashley: Thanks again.

Victor: Thank you.

Ashley: [ Sighs ]

Victor: [ Sighs ] You need some rest, okay?

Ashley: Mm, I’m too wound up. I think I’m gonna make some food. If we eat it, great. If we don’t, that’s okay, too. I just got to keep myself busy.

Victor: Okay.

Ashley: You’ll watch over her?

Victor: You bet.

Ashley: Thanks.

Victor: [ Sighs ]

Abby: Chance, where are you? I know you wouldn’t leave me when we just started a family. So that means that you’re out there. So I’ll find you.

Sharon: Who’s a big boy? Who’s a big, happy, smiley boy?

[ Both laugh ] You were right, devon. Just spending a few moments with him, and I’m in a better mood.

Devon: I know. He really is magic.

Sharon: And hopefully he can bring some of that joy to his mother. She really needs it.

Devon: I know she does. I actually have dominic right now because abby didn’t want him around her in the state that she’s in. I was just about to bring him home before you came back.

Sharon: He’s lucky he has you in his life. You can look after him.

Devon: I’d argue and say that I’m the lucky one, sharon. Just getting to spend time with him and getting to learn about him and all of his, you know, different moods and different expressions. It’s like making up for the time that I never got to spend with my child with hilary. I missed out on a lot.

Sharon: Kind of like how dominic will miss out on spending time with chance. You two are a perfect match.

Devon: Yeah, I guess so. I just wish it didn’t have to be this way. Chance never getting to meet his son and abby never getting to say goodbye to her husband, it’s just — it’s unfair to everyone.

Tessa: Was that too much honesty?

Mariah: No. I needed to know if I was reverting back with the baby, and I guess I was.

Tessa: I know I probably shouldn’t be worried, but I am.

Mariah: I know. And I love you for that. But I really don’t think you need to be.

Tessa: But am I right?

Mariah: About what?

Tessa: Do you think that you’re the only one who can properly take care of dominic?

Mariah: [ Sighs ] I — I can’t say that for sure. I mean, of course there are other people who are qualified to take care of him, but…

Tessa: You think your connection to him counts for more.

Mariah: No, I didn’t say that.

Tessa: You didn’t have to. I know you.

Mariah: I’m the one who carried him for all those months, who felt him growing and changing inside of me. I was the one who was with him all the time when we were locked in that room.

Tessa: Those were unique experiences that will give you two a lifelong bond. But other people have special connections to dominic.

Mariah: I understand, tessa. Abby is his mother, but she needs a break right now. And of course dominic wouldn’t be here without devon’s contribution, but I — it’s not the same as mine, and ashley and nina love their grandson.

Tessa: But not the way you do.

Mariah: I don’t know if they could.

Tessa: You realize that’s not your call to make?

Mariah: Yes, of course. Abby gets to decide. Even if she’s not in the best frame of mind to make decisions right now.

Tessa: Again, that’s not for you to judge. Even if abby isn’t 100% right now, dominic is not going to be neglected.

Mariah: Tessa, I understand that there are plenty of other people who are qualified to take care of him. But I have thoughts and I have feelings, and…in my heart, I just… I just don’t think this is the way that it should be.

Abby: This is where I first saw you when you came back to town. Phillip chancellor iv. Fancy name for a down-to-earth guy. It was here. You came back to town and fell into my life. The hostage crisis, remember? Yeah, you sent me a text and you asked me to play along. You wanted me to help you distract the bad guy. It was terrifying and thrilling. I looked over at the security camera and I nodded to let you know that we were in sync. Chance, I need you here. I need you here watching me. Show me that we’re in this together.

Instantly clear everyday

“The young and the restless”

will continue. -Hi mommy! -Hi honey!

Sharon: Abby has to find a way to move on from chance. I’m afraid that’s gonna be hard with the baby around the house. She’ll have to focus on the beginning of the baby’s life while trying to move on from the end of chance’S.

Devon: Yeah, that doesn’t sound easy.

Sharon: Well, ideally, the baby would help her get past the grief, you know, would give her a purpose. But sometimes when you suffer a loss like this, it can be hard just to get out of bed.

Devon: Oh, believe me, I know exactly what you’re talking about. I fell apart when I lost hilary.

Sharon: Well, when you have to take care of another human being, that can give you a reason to take your life back. You know, you have no choice. You have to raise a baby.

Devon: Yeah. I mean, you and I know that, sharon. I just hope that abby doesn’t go through a self-destructive phase. ‘Cause like you said, she has to be there for dominic.

Sharon: She’s only at the beginning of what lies ahead for her and the baby.

Abby: This is where you busted me for faking a theft at the grand phoenix. You caught me red-handed. But we had chemistry. And it was fun and flirtatious and sexy. And we agreed that we would make great partners, remember? So I hired you as head of security at the hotel to keep you from working dangerous cases. You were supposed to leave the danger behind. You were supposed to stay in genoa city with me. Our first kiss. [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] We were so good together. You confessed that you spent the whole dinner wanting to reach across the table and kiss me. I wanted that, too.

[ Sniffles ] So please, chance, come kiss me now.

[ Wind blowing ] Chance? Chance?! We came here after that date where we went ice skating. It was freezing outside. It was the first time that we made love. Remember that?

[ Sighs ] Of course you do. I skipped work and we laid in bed all day and we traded stories about our scars. Yours were from cases. Danger that you were supposed to leave behind. Chance, how could you go back to that? How could you stay away for so long? Damn it, chance! You made promises. You made promises right here. On our wedding day. You told me that I changed you. And we made vows and we talked about our future. A family. How could you leave? How could you just leave me and have me go through with the surrogacy? No. No, you are too good and you are too honest for it to end this way. So I know that you are gonna keep your word. Chance, if there’s a reason why you can’t come back, if there’s something preventing you from coming home, I will help you. I will find you.

Mariah: [ Sighs ]

Tessa: So you think that dominic would rather have you take care of him.

Mariah: No, that’s not what I’m saying. I’m only trying to say that i have feelings. I know you and devon are worried about my attachment to the baby, but I’m not even thinking about what I want or need. This is about him. He just lost a father that he’s never going to know. He’s living in a house of grief and trauma.

Tessa: He is safe. He is cared for.He is loved.

Mariah: I know, but this is not the life that I promised him when we were locked in that room together. This wasn’t the deal.

Tessa: I get that. But no one expected any of this. Abby certainly didn’t want things to turn out this way, but life is unpredictable. You can’t control the future.

Mariah: No, but there are some things that I can control. I can keep him safe.

Tessa: There’s nothing you can do about his father dying unexpectedly.

Mariah: That is exactly why i feel like I have failed, tessa. I didn’t protect him.

Find your rhythm.

Devon: Thank you, sharon.

Nate: Hey, guys. I just saw abby.

Sharon: Nate, I hope things went better for you with her than they did for me.

Devon: How’s she doing?

Nate: I’m worried. She’s been under long-term stress with her husband gone, brand-new baby, mariah’s abduction. Now the biggest crisis of all. It’s a lot to handle mentally, and eventually it starts to break you down physically. Right now she needs rest and nourishment. Luckily, I was able to convince her into eating something and taking a nap.

Devon: Well, that’s a good sign.

Nate: It is, but it’s just a start.

Sharon: Well, it won’t take the grief away, but maybe she’ll be able to face it.

Devon: Hey, what do you — what do you think about me bringing dominic back to the house and her being around the baby?

Nate: Think it’d be a good idea.

Devon: ‘Cause I’m worried. I’m worried about him absorbing all that negative energy in the house.

Nate: Uh, it’s a concern, but it’s a question of balance. It’ll be good for abby to see him. Plus, she has plenty of family there if she gets emotional. So shouldn’t be an issue. Dominic will be in good hands.

Devon: Alright, that’s good to hear. I’ll take him back, but I’ll probably — I’ll stop and take him for a walk in the park first.

Mariah: I agreed to be abby and chance’s surrogate. I was happy to do it. I was carrying that baby because I thought that I was helping to build a family. Mom, dad, baby — the three of them together. And he was gonna have a golden childhood, doting parents. And now he’s surrounded by grief and loss, and I didn’t keep my promise to always protect him.

Tessa: Yes, you have. You’ve gone above and beyond for him. You even turned down a trip to italy just to be around to make sure he’s okay.

Mariah: I am his godmother. I’m a friend of the family, and I can’t even be there for him the way that I should be because I’m not his…

Tessa: Are you saying that you wish he was your son and not abby’s?

Mariah: I just can’t help thinking that that’s the way that it — it should’ve been. That I should be his mom.

Tessa: I don’t know what to say.

Mariah: I’m not acting on that feeling, and I know it’s fear talking. I know it’s my own issues. But you asked what’s going on in my head and my heart, and i wanted to be completely honest with you, and…

[ Sighs ] It’s not right and it’s not rational. I know that. But it’s a fleeting thought that comes into my brain once in a while, and — and…it’s there.

Tessa: Well…let’s examine that and then figure out how to proceed.

Mariah: Uh, I thought you were gonna run out of here and head screaming for the hills.

Tessa: Never.

Mariah: My god, you have the patience of a saint.

Tessa: True, but…only with you. Because I love you.

Mariah: I love you, too.

Tessa: So…we are gonna work through this together.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Mariah: Um… oh, my gosh, it’s work. They need these numbers. I…I should probably do this.

Tessa: I mean, you really have to do that right now?

Mariah: It’s only gonna take a few minutes.

Abby: Everything always leads me back here, doesn’t it? Why doesn’t it do the same for you? How can you stay away? This is where I first told you that I loved you. And where you proposed. This place — this place has special meaning to us. Chancellor park. You wouldn’t just leave this behind. I know that you’re here.

[ Wind blowing ] God. How could you leave us to go on a dangerous mission when you knew it could end like this, that you might never come home? You wouldn’t break my heart like that, would you? Didn’t you love me enough to stay? To not take that risk? I believed in you, chance. I believed in us. I don’t know what to believe now.

[ Sighs ] Advanced non-small cell lung cancer can change everything.

[ Dominic crying ]

Abby: Dominic?

Devon: Hey, I’m sorry. I just put him down and he started crying. I think he missed you. It’s okay.

Abby: Hey. Hey. It’s okay. Mommy’s got you. It’s alright. It’s okay. Shh.

[Gentle music]

Nicole: Oh, duke. I should really get rid of you. We both kn that. But I’m not doing that. And why is that? And why am I talking to a stuffed bear?

[Scoffs]

Deimos: You know what they say: Talking to yourself, it’s the first sign of insanity.

Nicole: [Screams]

[Dramatic music]

Nicole: Deimos.

Deimos: Aw, you remembered.

Nicole: But… you’re dead.

Deimos: Yes, I am. You murdered me. And yet here I am. I must say, nicole, you haven’t changed a bit. Have I?

Nicole: Why– why are you here?

Deimos: Because you and i have some unfinished business.

Gabi: Nick?

Nick: Not quite in the flesh but close enough.

Gabi: No.

Nick: Tell me, gabi, have you missed me? Missed my arms around you?

Gabi: [Screams]

Nick: I missed the sound of your voice. Ever soft, gentle, and low. An excellent thing in a woman.

Gabi: I’m–I’m dreaming. I’m dreaming.

Nick: Of having your beloved husband back? Of this moment?

Gabi: It’s because I told jake about you.

Nick: Did you tell him about your first husband? Your first love?

Gabi: [Screams] No, no, no. You–you don’t matter. You are not here. I don’t think about you. I don’t ever say your name.

Nick: Really? You sure you don’t dream about me? I don’t haunt your dreams?

Gabi: Uh-uh. No, no. I–I told jake about you and that’s why I’m dreaming about you. I just have to wake up.

Nick: Sorry, babe. This isn’t a dream. It’s your worst nightmare.

Eli: Rafe, what’s up?

Rafe: Yeah, I’ve got a possible homicide on my hands and I need you and the forensics team on it right away.

Eli: Where’s the body?

Rafe: My kitchen floor.

Tripp: Okay, tell me– tell me what’s going on.

Ava: You– you won’t believe me.

Tripp: Just–just tell me.

Ava: I– I saw your brother.

Tripp: Charlie’s dead, mom. You know this.

Ava: No. I saw him. He came for me.

Tripp: Okay, you need to calm down.

Ava: No, listen to me. I saw him. I am not crazy, okay? He came–he came to rafe’s house. He found me. He killed someone right in front of me.

Charlie: You’re not getting rid of me that easily. Not this time.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Ava: Tripp, tripp, you have to believe me. I saw charlie stab him. He killed him.

Tripp: Charlie’s dead, mom. You know this.

Ava: No, he isn’T. He is alive. You know, maybe he isn’t alive, okay? But he is back and he found me at rafe’s house.

Tripp: Okay, okay, you’re really upset and you thought you saw him, but that’s not possible.

Ava: Okay, listen to me. Tripp, I saw him. He killed a man.

Tripp: What–what man? What are you talking about?

Ava: Okay.

[Stammering] There was–he was– I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know who the man was. But–but he stabbed him. He killed him. Tripp, I watched him do it.

Tripp: Okay, okay, all right. Mom, this isn’t making any sense. The man, does rafe know him?

Ava: No, no. Rafe–rafe, he wasn’t there. He–he didn’t see anything. Oh, my god, tripp. Tripp, I was so scared because– because after charlie stabbed– after he stabbed him, he said that he was– he was undead. And then he talked about the night that he died. And–and he said how– how when I told him that I loved him, that I didn’t mean it and that I was lying. And that I never– that I never ever loved him.

Tripp: Okay, mom, I think we should go to the hospital.

Ava: No! Okay, I am not crazy. He said that I never loved him and I never would because he would never be you, okay? And then– and then he looked at me. He looked at me in some bizarre way, and then– and then he grabbed– he grabbed another knife. And said he was going to kill me. And he was so calm about it that I knew he meant it. So I pushed him and I ran. And that is when I called you.

Tripp: Okay, mom, let’s– let’s go.

Ava: Okay, no. No, tripp, we need to run away, okay? We have to run away because don’t you see? He is not only gonna kill me. He is gonna kill you, too.

Allie: Whoever you are, this is sick.

Charlie: Allie, you know who I am. I’m your old friend charlie.

Allie: No, charlie’s dead and it’s–it’s sick for you to put this ridiculous mask on and come here.

Charlie: I had to come. I had to see you again.

Allie: Who are you? Why are you doing this to me?

Charlie: Do you really think this is a mask? You think I’m kristen dimera out trick-or-treating?

Allie: Go away!

Charlie: Fine. Figure it out for yourself. Pull it off. See who it is who hates you so much. Go ahead.

Allie: [Gasps]

Charlie: [Laughs] Now you know who hates you so much. Charlie hates you so much.

Allie: You’re dead.

Charlie: Yeah, that’s what they keep telling me. Everybody keeps saying that. But you know what? You can’t keep a good man down. Technically, I–I think I am. But, you know, I hate labels. I think I’m gonna identify as undead now.

Allie: Go away.

Charlie: That’s not gonna happen.

Allie: Don’t touch me.

Charlie: Oh, don’t worry. Your virtue isn’t at risk. I didn’t come here to party. I’m on a mission. I–I think you know why I’m here.

Allie: No.

Charlie: Yes. I came here for my son.

Gabi: It can’t be. I killed you.

Nick: Sorry, which time are you talking about? The–the first time where you– you bashed my head in with a rock? That time?

Gabi: I had to, I had to. No, stop, you’re hurting me!

Nick: I would never hurt you. Look at me.

Gabi: No!

Nick: You love me. Just tell me how much.

Gabi: No! Stop it!

[Gasping]

Nick: [Groans, thuds]

Gabi: [Gasping]

[Breathing heavily]

Nick: So there you were with a dead body on your hands. So you called your friends, sami and kate. You guys decided to toss me in the river. Great plan. Only one small, small, tiny little problem.

[Whispers] I wasn’t dead. I came back, didn’t I? Just like I’m back now.

Deimos: Nicole, nicole, nicole. [Chuckles] You look lovely as always. I will never forget how absolutely radiant you were in red the night you killed me.

Nicole: Dr. Rolf. Dr. Rolf brought you back?

Deimos: [Chuckles] No, no, no, no. The one who brought me back is a hell of a lot more powerful than dr. Rolf. And quite a bit more evil.

Nicole: Who?

Deimos: Well, I’m sorry, at the moment that information is classified. I may have said too much already. But then again, you always had a way of getting me to open up, to drop my guard. Do you remember how much I opened up my soul to you?

Nicole: Oh, you didn’t have one.

Deimos: You know, I’ve often thought–you know, because when you’re dead, you actually have a lot of time for reflection. So I have often thought that it was really ironic that the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, ended it. In cold blood. No remorse. That just didn’t sit well with me, nicole. So I came here to tell you that I still hold a grudge. Serena: It’s my 3:10

Nicole: I did not murder you in cold blood.

Deimos: Oh, sweetheart. I was there, remember? Victim and eyewitness. I was totally defenseless and you stabbed me in the heart!

Deimos: [Chuckles] Well, well, well. Look who we have here.

Nicole: Stay away from me.

Deimos: I was really sorry to hear what happened to holly. How you lost her.

Nicole: How did you know about that?

Deimos: I’m the one who made it happen.

Nicole: You– you made it happen?

Deimos: All it took was one more corrupt judge. Lucky for me, huh?

Nicole: Wait, are you saying–

Deimos: Just like the first time. Only that time, I was on your side.

Nicole: My side?

Deimos: Come on, nicole. You remember that, don’t you? When I was in love with you?

Nicole: You made sure the judge–

Deimos: That’s right. And believe me, it really wasn’t that difficult. I mean, come on, is there really anyone more unfit to be a mother than you?

Nicole: Oh, my god.

Deimos: I think it’s time for daddy to go pick up his little girl at the foster home. And I cannot wait to see her get excited to see me.

Nicole: No. No!

Deimos: Daddy’s little girl, that’s what she’s gonna be. I mean, come on, you know me, nicole, I am gonna spoil that kid rotten.

Nicole: No! She is my daughter, not yours, you sick bastard.

Deimos: Wow, look at this. Looks like I touched a nerve, huh?

Nicole: I’ll never let you take my daughter. Do you hear me? I will never– I will never–

Deimos: Oh, come on. Really? Come on.

Nicole: [Sobbing]

[Knife thuds]

Deimos: [Gasps]

Deimos: Strolling down memory lane, are you? Remembering how you plunged that knife into my chest? Deep into the chest of an innocent, unarmed man.

Nicole: Innocent? You broke the laws of man and god in order to take my daughter. She was innocent. She was defenseless and you used her like a pawn to get what you wanted. And what you wanted was depraved. I didn’t murder you. I put you down like a rabid dog.

Deimos: You played god. And up until now you thought you got away with it. I think they call that a fool’s paradise. But it’s over. Because now you’re face to face with the man who knows that you’re nothing more than a murdering whore. And a man who also knows that you were never even charged, let alone punished for what you did. But that all ends tonight. And I guarantee you, nicole, the punishment is gonna fit the crime.

Eli: Jeez.

Rafe: Yeah.

Eli: What have we got?

Rafe: The victim’s name’s carmine merlino. Same guy that shot abe.

Eli: Do we know who killed him?

Rafe: No. I just came home, found him dead on my kitchen floor.

Gabi: And I told you yesterday that carmine’s mob boss is none other than your precious ava. So if you want answers, why don’t you talk to her?

Eli: Oh, I know that look. You know something, don’t you?

Rafe: Yeah. Yeah, I do.

Ava: Don’t you see? Don’t you see? We have to get out of here. We have to get out of salem because charlie’s not going to stop until he gets the both of us.

Tripp: Mom, he’s dead.

Ava: No. He is back. I saw him.

Tripp: And there’s a good reason for that, okay? But you need to calm down and listen to me, as a doctor. All right, this is just like what happened to you when charlie drugged you.

Ava: What?

Tripp: Remember? You thought you saw charlie kill me and then you thought you saw dad carrying me out to bury me.

Ava: I was not drugged tonight.

Tripp: It doesn’t matter, okay? All right, people who have taken hallucinogens like the ones charlie gave you can have hallucinations for years to come. There’s medical documentation that shows that those drugs can result in serious residual effects including flashbacks and delusions. Like what happened to you tonight. The drug stays in your body for a long time.

Ava: Okay, tripp, listen to me. I remember the delusions back then, okay? Tonight was not like that. Tonight– tonight was real. It was like I could reach out and I could touch him. Oh, my god.

Tripp: What?

Ava: Allie, allie. We need to call allie. We need to warn her. We need to tell her to grab henry and run.

Allie: Don’t say that you’re henry’s father. You’re not.

Charlie: You can’t have it both ways, allie. You can’t accuse me of raping you and say henry isn’t mine.

Allie: What you did to me has nothing to do with being a father. You don’t even know him.

Charlie: Because of you! You told everyone that I was a rapist. Everyone wanted me dead. I died without ever even knowing who my son was. But now I’m back. And you can’t stop me. You did everything you could to keep me away from him. Now I’m gonna take him away from you.

Allie: No.

Charlie: Get the hell out of my way.

Julie: [Shouts] You scared me to death.

Kate: Hm, yet you’re still standing.

Julie: It’s a figure of speech. Well, kate, I don’t know if you’re coming by for a late night snack and a martini. I’ve completely forgotten what you order. But you’re out of luck. We’re closed.

Kate: I can see that. But I’m glad you’re still here because actually, I came to see you.

Julie: Really? Why?

Kate: I was going to call but I have a feeling that you wouldn’t pick up when you saw it was me. And I wanted to invite you to thanksgiving.

Julie: Oh, really? And what were you expecting me to bring? A poisoned pumpkin pie perhaps?

Kate: Well, actually, I was pretty sure that you wouldn’t accept. So it was a fairly painless way for me to extend myself.

Julie: Isn’t that how you always extend yourself, kate?

Kate: You know, julie, all joking aside, I’m genuinely sorry for doug’s situation.

Julie: Thank you very much. But I’m sure you didn’t come here just to say that.

Kate: No, actually, I didn’T. I came here to tell you that your cousin, nick fallon, is back from the dead.

Nick: You nearly jumped out of your skin when I showed up very much alive in that church. I mean, god, the hypocrisy! A gay and a murderess having their kid baptized.

[Laughs]

Gabi: I wasn’t a murderess because you weren’t dead yet. But you know what? I should’ve hit you three or four times with that rock because the world is a much better place without you.

Nick: But you made sure you killed me the second time around.

Gabi: For trying to take ari and me away from everyone we loved.

Nick: No. No excuses. It was premeditated murder, gabi. You even admitted it.

Gabi: Then I got the gun out of the closet and loaded it. I found the silencer there with it so I put that on. Then I stuck it inside the diaper bag.

Nick: You confessed. You gave a statement to the police.

Gabi: I served time. I paid my debt to society.

Nick: I don’t give a crap about society. I’m talking about your debt to me. You shot me three times and then got off on a technicality.

Gabi: I paid, first in prison and then, when I got out, your bitch cousin, julie, made sure that I kept paying for the rest of my life.

Nick: Not enough. Not nearly enough. Well, as you can see, I survived the second time you murdered me, too. And now I’m back and I am going to make you pay. What’s that expression they say? Oh, yeah. Third time’s a charm.

[ Crow squawks ]

Charlie: You bitch!

Allie: Please, god, please.

Charlie: You knew he wasn’t in there. Give me that. Fun and games are over, allie. You’re gonna tell me where the hell my son is.

Tripp: It’s okay. It’s okay. Henry’s inside the pub with roman and lucas.

Ava: Call allie.

Tripp: No. Mom, I’m not gonna scare her for no reason, okay? Charlie’s dead, mom. You watched him die. You don’t have to worry about him anymore. He can’t hurt you.

Ava: I saw him.

Tripp: You thought you saw him. I have already explained that to you. All right, now– if you won’t go to the hospital, I’m gonna take you home.

Ava: No, you’re not. We are not going home because there is a dead body there.

Tripp: I promise you, there isn’T. I’ll–I’ll go with you. I’ll prove it to you, okay?

Eli: Rafe?

Rafe: [Sighs] Right, okay. Look, what you need to know is there’s a possibility that ava is involved in this.

Eli: Okay.

Rafe: We’ll know more when we get the time of death. But, um, I think that we’re gonna find that gabi was with jake at the station when he was murdered and ava was the only one who was here.

Eli: Right. And?

Rafe: And when david was running the vitali crime family, carmine worked for her.

Eli: You–you think he came here to see her?

Rafe: Well, I don’t think he came here to see me. You know, my guess is that he probably knew that jake was in custody, so he came here to see ava. And gabi said she thinks that ava’s the one who helped merlino get away when he shot abe.

Eli: Rafe, you need to hand over this case to me.

Rafe: I–I know, okay? I know. But listen to me. I’m just going on what gabi said to me, and it wouldn’t be the first time that she has fed me a load of crap. Not to mention, ava said that she was out of the mob. So you know, she could be jerking me around too. I mean, what a– what a great domestic situation I’m in, right?

[Phone rings[

Eli: You know you’re gonna have to make a statement, right?

Rafe: Yeah, I know. Great, I’m sure this is more good news. Hernandez. Son of a bitch! Okay.

Eli: What is it?

Rafe: Jake dimera escaped lock-up. Oh, my god, what has gabi done this time?

Gabi: Are you gonna kill me?

Nick: Hm. Mm, no. That would be too easy. I decided that if the opportunity ever rose from the dead, so to speak, that I didn’t want you to die. I wanted you to suffer. And to that end, I decided to kill your boyfriend.

[Laughs]

Gabi: Jake?

Nick: Yeah, jake. Your beloved jake. Oh, wow, gabi, I mean, what a loser that guy is. I mean, you’re really rolling around at the bottom of the barrel there.

Gabi: Please, he’s never done anything to you. I’m the one that you hate.

Nick: Yeah, I think of it more like collateral damage. Because his death would be the gift that keeps on giving. You would live the rest of your life knowing that his blood is on your hands.

Gabi: Please, please, please, I’m begging you, please don’t kill him. Please don’T.

Nick: Oh, gabi. What if it’s already too late?

Nicole: [Gasps] Don’t come any closer.

Deimos: And what are you gonna do, huh? You gonna kill me again? Go ahead. Do your worst.

Nicole: [Screams]

Deimos: [Breathing heavily] Charmin ultra soft has so much cushiony softness,

Deimos: You little bitch!

Nicole: [Screams]

[Choking]

[Coughs and gasps]

Rafe: So when jake and the cop who was taking him back to his cell didn’t show up, they did a search and they found the cop knocked out cold and jake nowhere to be found.

Eli: That was a stupid ass thing for jake to do.

Rafe: If it was jake.

Eli: You don’t think it was him?

Rafe: Well, it doesn’t make any sense. He was cooperating. He gave a full confession. He even seemed guilty that his gun was used to shoot abe. He just–you know, I–I talked to him. I asked him to be patient, that things would sort themselves out and he seemed to agree.

Eli: But not gabi?

Rafe: Well, I told her to be patient. Like that would ever work.

Eli: All right. You think gabi would take matters into her own hands?

Rafe: Well, I’m about to find out. God, what a night.

Julie: What do you mean nick is back from the dead?

Kate: Well, two trick-or-treaters at the pub said they saw him tonight.

Julie: And that’s what– think, kate. A couple of trick-or-treaters saw a couple of other trick-or-treaters and one of them must have been dressed like nick.

Kate: Well, that would presuppose that they’re selling nick fallon halloween costumes this year.

Julie: You know what I mean.

Kate: Ah, well, maybe you’re right. I mean, what kid wouldn’t want to dress up like a psycho killer, right?

Julie: Nick was not a psycho killer.

Kate: Don’t get defensive.

Julie: Kate, for once in your life, instead of being hurtful and nasty, why don’t you try showing a little empathy for a young man who had a very difficult life and was traumatized by what happened to him in prison.

Kate: Right. Then he set out to traumatize gabi hernandez in exactly the same way.

Julie: Well, gabi got her revenge, didn’t she? Shot him three times. You may not recall but I remember very clearly because he died in my arms.

Kate: Allegedly.

Gabi: What do you mean, “it’s too late”?

Nick: Well, what it means is that after I rose up out of my grave, which by the way, you really should’ve seen it. It would have knocked your socks off. Anyway, then I–I went down to the police station.

Gabi: Why?

Nick: To find the boyfriend, of course.

Gabi: How did you know he was there?

Nick: Oh, see the undead have this sort of, um, telepathic gps system. Anyway, aren’t you getting caught up in little details? Don’t you want to know what happened? What I did? Not which bus I took to get there?

Gabi: What happened?

Nick: Well, I got down to the station and your boyfriend was being escorted to a cell. I intercepted him.

Gabi: And what did you do?

Nick: Well, as a recent acquaintance of mine once said–really funny guy– “if it were done “when ’tis done, “then ’twere well it was done quickly.”

Gabi: Oh, my god. Did you already kill him?

Allie: I will never tell you where henry is.

Charlie: Not willingly.

Allie: You will never again be in the same room as my son.

Charlie: My son!

Allie: Not in any way that matters.

Charlie: Who’s the father then, huh? Tripp? The two of you. Oh, classic love story. Boy meets girl, girl falsely accuses boy of rape.

Allie: Tripp knows why I did that. It’s because you screwed me up by what you did to me. Hell, everybody knows that it was you. Hey, charlie, did you notice how few people attended your funeral? Did you know that I didn’t? I was afraid that I’d be fined for excessive celebration.

Ava: I told you. I told you there was a dead body. You didn’t believe me. I was telling the truth.

Tripp: I’m sorry. I just thought that– eli, what happened?

Eli: There’s been a homicide.

Tripp: Who was it?

Eli: Carmine merlino. He was the man who shot abe. Ms. Vitali, I’m sorry, but I gotta take you down to the station for questioning. Turns out deb’s constipation with belly pain

[Eerie music]

Nicole: Rafe. I gotta call rafe.

[Line ringing]

Allie: You know how you’re always whining about how mommy loves tripp best?

Charlie: Stop it.

Allie: Well, she does. Of course she does. Because as dumb and creepy as you are, that’s how cool and smart he is.

Charlie: Stop talking about tripp!

Allie: You brought him up. You always bring him up.

Charlie: Shut up.

Allie: Imagine having a mother who has two sons and one of them is everything a mother could ever want and the other one is the definition of “loser.”

Charlie: I said shut up!

Tripp: Why do you need to question my mom?

Eli: The deceased was a former associate of hers. He worked for her when she was in charge of the vitali mob.

Tripp: You said that–

Eli: She–she said that what, tripp?

Ava: I didn’t kill him. It was charlie. I saw him.

Eli: Who’s charlie?

Ava: My son. He killed carmine. I saw it.

Eli: Ms. Vitali, charlie is dead.

Ava: Rafe. I need to talk to rafe.

Rafe: So you say you saw my sister say goodbye to jake. Okay, did you actually see her leave?

Cop: She came out of the interrogation room and maxwell and i went in to get dimera. She wasn’t here when we brought him out.

Rafe: Okay. And then maxwell took him down.

Cop: And I started the paperwork.

Rafe: And he was cuffed?

Cop: It’s procedure, isn’t it?

Rafe: Okay, yet somehow, jake still managed to hit maxwell over the head and escape? Did you happen to see where he went?

Cop: No.

Rafe: Right. Right, my sister’s not answering my calls. What the hell is going on?

Gabi: Did you kill jake? Tell me!

Nick: Let me put it to you this way. I happened to have an empty grave at my disposal. And I figured I might as well put it to good use. It’s my woke-up-like-this migraine medicine.

Julie: Allegedly? Where do you get your news, kate? I was holding him. I–I–I felt the life draining out of him.

Kate: Yes, of course you did and that had to have been terribly painful for you.

Julie: Are you mocking me?

Kate: No, not at all. And–although I do agree that it’s probably not true that nick has been restored to life, you do have to admit he cheated death once before.

Julie: Oh, when you and gabi and sami tried to drown him in the river. Talk about the three witches from macbeth.

Kate: Hmm, yeah. Well, he did manage to crawl back out of the water, didn’t he? But I think it is highly unlikely that he managed to crawl out of the grave after being shot three times. Although…

Julie: Although what?

Kate: Although, I mean, not to brag about it or anything, but I did manage to do that. So, who knows? Maybe he managed to pull off the same trick. Anyway, I need to get going. Happy halloween.

Gabi: You buried him?

Nick: Well, I think of it more like a sublet.

Gabi: Dead or alive?

Nick: Why don’t you ask him?

Gabi: Ah!

Nick: Gosh… I hope she’s not too late.

[Phone ringing]

Rafe: Nicole, this isn’t a good time.

Nicole: I need you, rafe. Now.

Rafe: Okay, what is it?

Nicole: I’m in my office. It’s an emergency.

Eli: Rafe’s at the station. You can talk to him there.

Tripp: Okay, if she’s going down to the station, then I’m coming with her.

Ava: No. Tripp… if the police aren’t going to look for charlie, you have to.

Tripp: Mom.

Ava: I told you there was a dead body here and there was a body here. Charlie was here. Okay, I know that you said that everything’s safe, okay? But I have this awful feeling about allie.

Tripp: Mom, I can’t just leave you alone.

Ava: Just go check, okay? I mean, what–what does it hurt? Prove me wrong. Prove me crazy. I mean, you love her, tripp. What do you lose by checking? Because if you don’t, and something happens to her, you are gonna regret it for the rest of your life.

Charlie: You know what? You think you are so smart. You thought that if you talked about tripp that I would get crazy and I would forget about henry. But you know what? You’re not smart. I saw right through it. Now I’m going to ask you one more time. Where is my son?

Allie: I will never tell you where he is.

Charlie: You know what? I see that. Nothing that I can do will get you to tell me.

Allie: Right.

Charlie: So I’m just gonna have to find him solo.

Allie: Well, he’s not here.

Charlie: Hmm, you trying to send me on my way? As soon as I leave, you’ll call whoever has him? Or you’ll call the police. And I can’t let that happen. So, I’m sad to say, allie, I’m gonna have to kill you.

Trelegy for copd.

Gabi: Jake! Jake! Jake, no! Jake!

[Gasping frantically]

Nicole: Oh, god.

Rafe: This had better be good.

Nicole: Listen, deimos– deimos was here.

Rafe: What?

Nicole: He came back to get me and I killed him. Rafe, I stabbed him with a pair of scissors.

Rafe: Damn it, nicole, deimos kiriakis is dead.

Nicole: No, he is in there. Dead on the floor with a pair of scissors in his chest. Go look for yourself.

Rafe: Nicole, you need to come in here.

[Dramatic music]

Eli: You have the right to have an attorney present–

Ava: I don’t need a lawyer. I need you to listen to me. Okay? Charlie is back. He came back, he killed carmine, and then he was going to kill me.

Eli: Maybe what you need is a doctor.

Ava: Okay, I am begging you. Please, send someone to help tripp. I am telling you the truth. I swear to god, I am telling the truth.

Tripp: Allie! Get the hell away from her.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Liam: You know, I was– I was positive kelly would be exhausted after our hike.

Steffy: Yeah! Have you met our daughter?

Liam: I know. Apparently not. I couldn’t even keep up with her.

Steffy: Yeah, she was like, 10 feet ahead of us.

[Laughing]

Liam: Yeah, well, now she and hayes can wear amelia out at the park.

Steffy: Aw, those sweet little angel babies. I never want them out of my sight.

Liam: Yeah, I know that feeling.

Steffy: I mean, our kids are our life.

Liam: Kind of defeats the purpose if we don’t protect them, doesn’t it?

Steffy: That’s why it’s so important to keep sheila and deacon out of our lives for good.

[Bird whistles]

Finn: Hope?

Hope: Finn, hi. Um, steffy actually isn’t here, right now. She’s out with liam and kelly.

No, I know, I know. Uh, I actually came by to see you.

Donna: I’m trying to stay calm but honestly I’m– I’m still a little rattled.

>>[Brooke sighs] I’d feel the same way if quinn cornered me like that.

Donna: Thank you. She was furious, brooke.

Katie: Hello, my beautiful sissies.

Brooke: Oh, why are you all smiley?

Katie: Oh, I just had a lovely lunch at il giardino.

Brooke: Ooh, making me crave that chopped salad.

Katie: I know, it’s so good. Donna, what’s going on? What’s wrong?

[Donna scoffs]

Donna: Think about it. Who is the craziest person we know?

Brooke: Yeah, quinn was here earlier.

Katie: Oh.

Donna: She knows. She knows about what happened between eric and me.

Quinn: I can’t believe you and donna logan.

Eric: Quinn, this is not at all what you’re making it out to be.

[Quinn scoffs] We should be celebrating this breakthrough! This is such good news after so many months– you finally being yourself again– but for it– for it to have happened not with me, but with donna. She’s trying to sabotage our marriage. And I am not going to let that happen. And you need to promise me you’re not going to let it happen either.

Liam: Yeah, as if the two of them aren’t bad enough on their own. Now they’re– they’re claiming to be a couple?

Steffy: Yeah, it’s just so weird. I mean, they do have a lot in common. They’re both con artists.

Liam: Yeah, they’ve both been locked away for committing crimes against your family.

Steffy: Hope’s family, too.

Liam: I know. And now they’re in love.

Hope: Actually, my um, my dad just texted.

Finn: What’d he say?

Hope: He just said he’s thinking of me… I haven’t written back yet.

Finn: Yeah, sheila’s been reaching out, too. I haven’t responded. We both know how steffy feels about my birth mother.

Hope: Ugh, yeah well, liam’s attitude about deacon isn’t much better.

Finn: So what do we do?

Katie: Quinn knows?

Brooke: Yes, she does. And she’s already coming after donna.

Donna: She confronted me when I was in here, all by myself.

Katie: Are you okay? Did she hurt you?

Donna: No. But, I am not exaggerating when I said, I was seriously scared for my life. I mean, there’s– there’s no telling what quinn might do.

Quinn: We will get through this. Together. But not if donna is making a play for you.

Eric: Quinn, that’s not at all what donna–

Quinn: She’s in love with you. Eric. She wants you. But I’m your wife and I am asking you to honor that. And if you respect me, if you respect our marriage, you will fire donna right away.

Liam: I mean, sheila’s proven time and time again that she’s just not interested in respecting boundaries.

Steffy: No. She came into my home and she was holding my baby.

Liam: Yeah, how– how has finn been since then? Is he a little better about trying to keep her away?

Steffy: I mean, I know it’s difficult for him. Feels guilty about it.

Liam: Yeah, well, I’m sure that’s exactly how sheila wants him to feel.

Steffy: Yeah, you get it. So do I. But when it comes to hope and finn, it’s their parents and I think they’re trying to see something good inside.

Liam: Yeah, I get that. It’s just know, in deacon’s case, he just keeps disappointing hope. Over and over again. And that’s what bothers me about that. Like, I don’t want her to have to experience that same pain all over again.

Steffy: The same goes with finn. I don’t want that. But you know, sheila and deacon are gonna try to sell this ridiculous romance, come on.

Liam: I know, I know. That’s just got to be another angle. Right?

Steffy: Most definitely. This is something straight outta sheila carter’s playbook.

Liam: Yeah, I mean I gotta think, it’s just another manipulation to try to worm their way back into the family.

Steffy: Of course, it is. That’s why we need to stay firm on this. We have to make sure finn and hope stay far away from sheila and deacon.

Finn: I wish I wanted nothing to do with sheila. But, I’m curious. You know? Like, who is she underneath that hard surface? I mean, what made her that way? What was her childhood like?

Hope: She’s your birth mom, finn. It’s natural to feel a connection.

Finn: Yeah. But I also get why no one trusts her. I’d never make excuses for what she’s done. I dunno. I wish things were different. I missed out on a huge part of my life. I just want a chance to get to know her a little better.

Hope: I certainly have my issues with sheila. But as someone who’s father has basically been labeled a pariah since before I was even born… I also get your frustration, too. Yeah, I missed out on a lot of time with my dad and now beth, she’s not even going to get to meet her grandfather?

Finn: It’s not like we’re saying our parents are innocent…

[Hope chuckles] No, not by a longshot. I mean, they did this to themselves.

Finn: It sucks. You and I, we’re stuck in the middle. All right, we’re married to two people who literally despise them.

Hope: Yup, and now our parents are complicating matters even more now that they are supposedly in a relationship together.

Quinn: I love you, eric. And despite everything that happened, I know that you love me, too. But I need you to show me. I need you to show me that we are a priority to you. And I need you to prove that to me by telling donna that she will no longer be a part of our lives.

Katie: The fact is, eric has a connection with you that he doesn’t have with quinn. And he never will.

Brooke: Thank god he’s finally realizing he’s been with the wrong woman all these years.

Donna: I’ve always adored eric, I have. And there’s nothing I want more… but honestly, I’ve– I’ve just been too afraid to allow myself to think that it could even happen. And I’m not gonna interfere with that marriage.

Brooke: I know. Of course not. I mean, what happened was innocent.

Katie: Well, it was but on another level, it wasn’T. I mean, what happened was profound. It was a sign that eric can’t connect with quinn. Not because of some physical problem, but because he can’t connect with her emotionally and psychologically.

Brooke: Because she’s betrayed him so many times.

Katie: If he loved her once, it’s gone now.

Brooke: You’re the person that he’s longing for… the kind of bond that he deserves.

Katie: Eric belongs with you.

Steffy: I feel for finn, what this must be like for him.

Liam: Yeah, well hope’s in a crap position, too. I mean deacon’s, he’s always caused trouble for the family. He’s always been a conman but hope– I dunno. She just doesn’t want to see him for who he is because she’s a loving, caring daughter, right? And– and, the idea of cutting him out of her life completely, it’s a hard pill to swallow.

Steffy: I’d probably feel the same. But they have to protect themselves and they have to keep our children safe.

Liam: I agree. It’s just– I don’t even wanna appear like I’m telling hope how to live her life– like, who she can and can’t associate with. I don’t want to be that guy.

Steffy: I’m not enjoying this. This isn’t fun. But this is what has to be done. We can’t give them a chance just because deacon is beth’s grandfather, and sheila is… hayes’ grandmother. Liek, we can’t risk that. We need to be united on this. We need to stand together and be on high alert for all of our sakes: Our children and our families.

Finn: Did they really fall for each other?

Hope: Or are we the ones falling for some scheme?

Finn: I’d like to give our parents the benefit of the doubt. I’d like to see them happy. I mean, why not?

Hope: Well, they certainly appear interested in improving themselves and their circumstances but question is, are they a good influence on each other?

Finn: That remains to be seen.

Hope: Hm, yeah, I guess so…

Finn: But look, it’s not like we have any say in the matter. It’s their lives. And isn’t it possible they’ve learned from their mistakes?

Hope: It is possible although in sheila’s case, she does have some pretty big demons to overcome.

Finn: I’m not denying that. But people can be rehabilitated. Deacon said he walked out of that cell a new man. And I know my mom regrets everything that she’s done. If it was my choice– if I’m being honest, I… might be willing to give sheila and deacon the opportunity to prove themselves.

Hope: I… might consider it, too…

Finn: But it’s not only up to us.

Hope: Well no, of course not. I mean, we have our kids to think about. You have steffy, I have liam. Although unfortunately, it looks like steffy and liam they don’t believe or will ever believe that our parents deserve a second chance.

Katie: You’ve been so respectful, standing on the sidelines. But this is your moment. You and eric should give each other the happiness that you both deserve.

Donna: I have wanted that more than anything. And if you really think that this marriage could be over, then I could–

Brooke: It is. And you and eric are already so close.

Donna: This is the first moment I actually have a glimmer of hope… that– that eric and i could actually be together.

Katie: There you go. There it is. That is the attitude you should be having.

[Katie and brooke chuckling]

Brooke: Oh, honey. You just have to have faith that it’s going to happen. Okay?

Donna: I love you too, so much. Thank you for all of your love and support.

Eric: Sorry to interrupt, ladies.

Katie: Oh, um. You’re not interrupting.

Eric: You all look very happy together.

Brooke: Well, the days ahead are suddenly looking much brighter.

Katie: Yes, we have an awful lot to be encouraged about.

Eric: Would you mind terribly if I took a moment alone with this one, here?

Katie: No, no, not at all.

Eric: Thank you.

Katie: Brooke and i can make ourselves scarce.

Brooke: Yes, uh, how about that chopped salad…

Donna: I– I wanted to talk to you too, actually. Quinn knows about what happened with us. I’m so sorry.

Eric: No, no, it’s all right. I know she knows. She overheard brooke and me talking and so I, I felt I owed it to her to be honest. That’s why I want to see you.

Trelegy for copd.

Finn: Steffy has every right in the world to want sheila gone from our lives. There’s no repairing the damage inflicted on the forrester family. I get that. But it doesn’t make it any easier on my end.

Hope: Of course, not.

Finn: All this wondering if there’s you know, somehow, some way I could get to know my birth mother on my own terms. That dream has gone out the window. But steffy and I, we go hand in hand. We have to function as a team.

Hope: Well, absolutely. But it is still a tough situation. You know, I get it. It’s similar with deacon. Am I proud of the choices that he has made in his life? No. And I don’t even know the half of it but he’s still my dad. And I don’t want to be another unforgiving, untrusting person in his life right now. Look, ridge was a good stepfather… but for better or for worse, deacon is my father and I want to believe that he has changed.

Finn: Well look, at least they’ve got each other now. Sheila and deacon. I mean, if what they’re saying is true– I don’t know about you I feel comforted knowing that sheila’s not alone. I felt like a jerk every time I gotta ask her to leave and tell her, to get out. She can’t be here.

Hope: I have to admit it does feel a little unfair that we’re basically being forbidden from seeing our own parents.

Steffy: Excuse me? Are you serious, hope? What are you saying to finn?

Finn: We were discussing our parents and how–

Steffy: How what? How psychotic sheila is, how dangerous she is? She tried to shoot my mother, she kidnapped yours. And now you’re questioning why I want her out of my life?

Hope: Woah, that is not what I was saying, steffy.

Steffy: This is my husband. My marriage. My family. You keep your bad advice to yourself.

Brooke: So you have to see what this means, right? The woman that could make you truly, truly happy is my sister. Donna.

[Pants lightly]

Quinn: I don’t want you to be around her ever again except to go to the office and tell her clean out her desk and never set foot in forrester creation or our home ever again.

Donna: You wanted to see me?

Eric: Yes.

Donna: Eric, I’m so sorry. I– I might have overstepped by telling my sisters but they were just hounding me…

Eric: Donna, it’s okay. It’s all right. It really is.

Donna: No, but brooke shouldn’t have come to your house and for quinn to overhear like that? She should have heard it from you. But my sisters have always believed that maybe you and I would get back together… but I would never, I would never interfere with your marriage. You know that. What we shared, it was a hug, an innocent hug that was sweet, that was tender and then, I don’t know, something unexpected occurred.

Eric: I know.

[Donna chuckles] And I tried to explain that to quinn, I did, I tried, that neither you or I wanted this to happen–

Eric: I know. I told her that.

Donna: Oh.

Eric: I know that but she doesn’t believe it.

Donna: Wait. Okay, so you– you spoke to quinn about this.

Eric: Yes, I did. She’s uh, she’s very upset. Donna, I had a chance to do some uh, some self-examination, some real thinking about myself and my moving forward in my life. And I’ve made a decision. You know how much you mean to me. And not just now, I mean, all the time we were married and now this whole revelation to me– you’ve brought me back to life! I feel whole again. I feel like I’m reborn. You need to know how much, how much I love you, how much you mean to me, how grateful I am. You know that, right?

[Donna chuckles bashfully] Well– you know how I feel, eric.

Eric: Yeah, I do. That’s why I wanted to talk to you about us. About you and me, about our past and everything we’ve been through… and our future.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Belle wakes up and tells Shawn that she just had a nightmare that Marlena was possessed by the Devil again.

Ben and Ciara talk at home about being pregnant. Ciara says she knew it was possible but it still felt like a one in a million chance.

Xander goes to the interrogation room and asks Melinda where his money is. Melinda places the briefcase on the table. Xander warns that there would be hell to pay if it’s not all there. Melinda then stops him by slamming the briefcase shut and informs him that he won’t be spending a penny of this, because he’s giving the money to her or else she will blow Gwen’s life sky high. Xander does not take kindly to anyone threatening the people he cares about. Melinda claims she’s not threatening anyone but as district attorney, she has a duty to expose the truth. Melinda reveals that she knows Gwen’s dirty little secret.

Jack questions what Abigail is so angry about. Abigail tells him that it’s Gwen. Jack thought Abigail accepted Gwen’s apology. Abigail responds that she’s here to take it back because she now knows that Gwen has been lying through her teeth again about losing her baby as it turns out she didn’t have anything to do with it.

Ben and Ciara talk about Ciara getting pregnant right away even though it’s rare. Ben says they beat the odds. Ciara feels like it’s a miracle. Ben agrees and calls it amazing. Ben points out that they are young, healthy, and very good at doing what you need to do to get pregnant. Ciara wonders if it happened after their first try. Ben points out that they did it lots of times after. Ciara reminds him that they both agreed the first time felt special and then felt the big gust of wind. Ciara guesses it wasn’t a bad omen, but a good thing.

Belle tells Shawn about her nightmare of Marlena being possessed and saying to expect the unexpected. Shawn encourages that it’s not real. Belle guesses it’s a combination of jet lag and seeing Marlena dressed as a Devil for Halloween. Shawn knows it must be difficult given Marlena’s history. Shawn suggests they go back to sleep but Belle says she’s wide awake now. Belle adds that they have slept for like 12 hours because of international travel. Shawn and Belle then kiss in bed.

Xander isn’t sure what Melinda is referring to. Melinda assumed that Xander knew since Gwen is his girlfriend and he’s not the one that she’s been deceiving all these months. Gwen says she has a duty to bring things to light so she’s going to Jack’s house to tell him what Gwen has done.

Gwen tells Abigail that she already admitted that she lied about what happened to her baby and brings up how Abigail said she’d be a horrible mother, so she wanted to hurt her and said that she pushed her. Gwen calls it a horrible, tragic accident. Abigail questions calling it an accident. Jack interrupts but Chad tells him to let her finish. Gwen insists it was an accident and she lost her baby. Abigail says those statements are true but not that in order. Jack questions what she’s talking about. Abigail asks Gwen if she wants to take it or should she. Gwen argues that Abigail hates her so much. Chad says that Gwen put her through enough so she can’t blame her for this. Abigail feels terrible for their argument and that Gwen ended up in the hospital, but it’s time for the whole truth to come out. Gwen claims not to know what she’s talking about. Abigail declares that they both know she lost her baby before she fell down the stairs.

Ben tells Ciara that they can either stay here and wonder if they’re having a baby or they can head to the hospital to make sure. Ben jokes that they can assume the test is wrong and keep trying. Ciara decides they should go to the hospital to see if she’s carrying a child and if she’s not, they will come back and pick up where they left off.

Belle tells Shawn that it’s great that Ben and Ciara are trying to have a baby. Shawn just hopes that they aren’t rushing things and enjoying being newlyweds. Belle thinks it makes sense that they don’t want to take any time for granted after all they have been through. Shawn decides he’s going to visit Abe at the hospital. Shawn invites Belle to come but Belle says she’s going to check on Marlena so she can get the image of her as the Devil out of her head.

After Justin and Bonnie’s wedding, Kayla tells Steve that she has to get back to the hospital. Steve stops her to ask what she said that Gwen might be lying to Jack about. Kayla explains how Gwen said that Dr. Snyder used her past a sex worker to blackmail her in to delivering drugs but Abigail doesn’t believe that and thinks that whatever Dr. Snyder held against her was much worse and she thought she could find a clue in Dr. Snyder’s office, so she let her go through it. Steve questions finding answers in Dr. Snyder’s personal belongings. Steve hopes Abigail comes up empty on this one for Jack’s sake. Kayla mentions that Steve said Jack was in good spirits this morning. Steve says that’s because Melinda dropped the charges against Gwen. Steve adds that no matter what Gwen has done, she is still his niece, just like Abigail. Steve knows Jack thinks Gwen has changed and they were on their way to being a family, so he’d hate to see that undone. Kayla thinks Abigail feels the same since she told her that she hopes she’s wrong because she doesn’t want to hurt Jack or Gwen, but she needs to know the truth no matter what it is. Steve says that Jack believes they can put the bad blood behind them so they will stay optimistic.

Jack questions what Abigail is saying. Abigail informs him that Gwen was no longer pregnant when she fell down the stairs. Jack says he’s lost. Abigail brings up the secret that Dr. Snyder was holding over Gwen and reveals that Gwen was not a sex worker. Abigail tells Gwen to just tell Jack that this was just another one of her stupid lies. Jack questions why she would lie about that. Chad responds that the truth is much worse. Abigail questions why Gwen would deliver drugs and why her past would be that horrible. Abigail talks about everything Gwen has done and how Jack forgave her for all of it, so she argues that being a sex worker in the past doesn’t make sense. Jack argues that Gwen was ashamed and asks what this has to do with Gwen losing her baby. Abigail explains that the day Gwen showed up at the house and she said those horrible things to her, she was coming from the hospital where she was treated for severe abdominal pains. Abigail states that Dr. Snyder examined Gwen and found out that she had miscarried, so when she went back to the hospital later, Dr. Snyder knew that her fall had nothing to do with her losing her baby and she didn’t want anybody to know that so everyone would think Abigail was responsible. Abigail adds that Dr. Snyder knew Gwen was desperate to keep the truth from coming out and that was what he was holding over. Abigail declares that the truth is, when they argued, Gwen wasn’t even pregnant anymore. Jack turns to Gwen and asks if this is true.

Belle goes to Marlena’s and sees the pitchfork inside. Belle tells herself that it was just a costume, just like her nightmare wasn’t real. Steve shows up and asks if Belle is okay as she looks like she’s seen a ghost. Steve adds that he wasn’t expecting her as he thought she was in South Africa visiting Claire. Belle informs him that they just got back last night. Steve asks how Claire is doing. Belle says she’s good and it’s been a positive move for her. Steve questions where everyone is. Belle doesn’t know as she came to see Marlena, but nobody was here. Steve hoped to talk to John about some business. Belle tells him that John is out of town on a case. Steve questions what case that is.

Shawn goes to the hospital and finds Ben so he asks if something is wrong. Ben reveals that Ciara is in with Kayla as she might be pregnant. Shawn is surprised as they just said they were going to start trying. Ben tells him that their first pregnancy test came back positive. Shawn asks if he’s still worried about he and Ciara having a baby.

Kayla takes Ciara’s blood and says she will get the lab to put a rush on it. Ciara says she will then know for sure and calls it a huge moment for her life to change forever. Ciara admits to getting scared. Kayla says that’s normal as it’s a big deal but also one of the most rewarding experiences she’ll ever have.

Xander tells Melinda that he still has no idea what she’s talking about. Melinda questions him playing it like this. Melinda reveals that the other day, she overheard him and Gwen in the interrogation room and learned a lot in that short time. Xander accuses her of eavesdropping. Melinda says there’s no privacy as this isn’t his living room. Melinda reveals that she learned Gwen was never a sex worker and was lying about her miscarriage. Melinda adds that Gwen said Jack would never forgive her if he found out that Gwen let Abigail think she was responsible for her losing her baby. Melinda guesses that Gwen already miscarried before her fall down the stairs and then lied after the fact. Xander calls that absurd. Melinda says she wants to know what Jack thinks about it, so she’s going to run it by him. Xander then stops her. Melinda says that’s what she thought.

Gwen argues that she doesn’t know where Abigail got this insane idea from, because she doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Jack knows Abigail feels guilty about what happened to Gwen’s baby, so he’s wondering if this story is a way to assuage that guilt. Abigail tells him it’s not a story, but the truth. Gwen questions if she has any evidence. Gwen argues that Dr. Snyder is dead so she couldn’t have gotten this from him. Abigail says that she didn’t need to as she has it all right here in print. Abigail then reveals the medical report and shows it to Jack.

Belle tells Steve that Marlena said John left town on an important case and asks if something’s wrong. Steve says it’s the first he’s hearing about it. Belle asks if it’s unusual for John not to tell him. Steve says not necessarily since he just finished a job for Victor. Steve adds that if Marlena said John is off on a case then it must be true.

Ciara tells Kayla about how Marlena has been such a huge help to Ben since he had worries about having a child and developing his mental illness. Kayla understands the concern but says they will both be caring parents that will get help right away if anything is off. Ciara adds that Marlena helped Ben see that his fear shouldn’t stop them from starting a family. Ciara admits that she’s kind of scared that Ben’s worry may never go away. Ciara thinks Ben will be an excellent father and be everything that Clyde wasn’t for him. Ciara says that Clyde made Ben’s childhood a living hell, while their child will be surrounded by nothing but love.

Shawn asks Ben about being nervous about being a parent. Ben says that Marlena helped get him past that and Ciara will be the best mother ever which Shawn agrees with.

Melinda tells Xander that she will take his million dollars and then she won’t tell Jack or anyone else what she knows. Xander mocks her not caring about blackmail if she’s the one getting paid. Melinda argues that the money is not for her. Xander asks why she wants it then. Melinda says it’s personal. Xander demands to know what she’s going to do with the million dollars. Melinda responds that she’s going to use the money to honor her daughter’s memory. Xander asks if she’s donating it to the hospital. Melinda says Haley did love being a nurse but she thought about the most meaningful way to honor Haley, so she decided to start a legal defense fund to assist undocumented immigrants. Xander remembers Haley was almost deported. Melinda wants to be able to offer resources, information, and hope. Melinda declares that she can’t help her daughter but maybe she can help someone else’s.

Gwen questions where Abigail got her private medical records. Abigail reveals that they found it in Dr. Snyder’s office inside of a book called “Miscarriage of Justice”. Gwen questions her breaking in to his office. Abigail responds that Kayla let them in. Gwen calls that illegal and threatens to have them arrested. Jack confirms that everything Abigail said is confirmed in the medical report. Abigail repeats that Gwen miscarried before she fell down the stairs. Jack realizes that Gwen already knew she lost her baby.

Ciara comes out from seeing Kayla and asks what Shawn is doing here. Shawn says he came to check on Abe but ran in to Ben so he asks about the test results. Ciara tells them that Kayla put a rush on it but they don’t know yet if Shawn’s going to be an uncle or if Ben’s going to be a father.

Xander tells Melinda that what she’s doing is quite noble but questions why she has to do it with his money. Melinda talks about all the time they have wasted on his crimes, she figured he’s not entitled to this money. Xander calls it a stretch. Melinda is not interested in his opinion but says the choice is his. Melinda declares that if Xander doesn’t care about protecting Gwen’s relationship with her father then he can keep the money. Xander gives in and tells Melinda to keep the money but he wants her word that she will never say anything to Jack about Gwen’s secret. Melinda swears that Jack won’t hear it from her. Melinda then exits the interrogation room.

Chad questions how Gwen could do this since she was on a mission to ruin he and Abigail’s marriage but Abigail found a way to rise above her getting pregnant and handled it with grace. Gwen disagrees. Chad says that Abigail had nothing to do with what happened to the baby, but Gwen let her believe that she did and she left town, him, and their children. Gwen argues that Abigail said she wanted to be rid of her and the baby. Chad brings up that Gwen told him that having the baby had nothing to do with hurting Abigail but that was a lie. Abigail declares that Gwen wants to hurt all of them and after all the understanding and forgiveness, she’s still the same. Gwen mocks Abigail being perfect. Abigail says she’s far from it but she was raised by loving people while Gwen doesn’t know how to love anyone but herself. Abigail feels sorry for her and wishes things could be different between them but it’s obvious to her now that they can’t. Abigail calls Gwen a toxic person and says she doesn’t want her in her life. Abigail hugs Jack and then walks out of the house with Chad. Jack can’t believe he didn’t see this coming and asks how he could’ve been so blind. Gwen cries that she’s sorry. Jack tells Gwen that he trusted her and supported her when her other daughter told him that all she wanted was to hurt him and their family. Jack asks Gwen why she would do this.

Kayla comes over to Ben, Ciara, and Shawn to announce the test results. Ciara and Ben say they are ready. Kayla congratulates Ben and Ciara as she announces they are going to have a baby. Ben and Ciara hug in excitement.

Chad and Abigail go home. Chad notes that she hasn’t said much and asks if she’s okay. Abigail thinks she is and says she’s spent so much of the last six months blaming herself for Gwen’s miscarriage but now that the truth is out, she doesn’t have to do that anymore and feels like a huge weight has been lifted off her chest.

Gwen tells Jack that Abigail was wrong. Jack says it’s all here in the medical report. Gwen admits she lied about her miscarriage as she lost the baby hours before she fell down the stairs. Gwen cries that Abigail was wrong when she said she didn’t know how to love. Jack thinks she was right. Jack says that Gwen’s family turned the other cheek and opened their hearts to her. Jack adds that his brother kept Gwen from going to prison. Gwen admits she may not be very good with relationships but she knows how she feels about Jack is how a daughter should feel about her father. Gwen says that feeling is grateful and safe and for the first time, she felt value as a human as if someone actually cared about her. Jack questions why she would lie to him then. Gwen couldn’t bear the thought of him looking at her the way that he’s looking at her now with so much anger and contempt. Gwen knew that any love Jack felt for her or any connection they had would be gone the minute he found out what she’s done. Gwen cries that now she can see that she was right. Jack tells Gwen not to call him dad and storms out of the room. Gwen sits down and breaks down crying. Xander comes home and tells Gwen that he has good news and bad news. Gwen says whatever it is doesn’t hold a candle to her. Xander asks what’s happened. Gwen informs him that she just lost her father. Xander asks if something happened to Jack. Gwen reveals that Jack found out she was lying about her miscarriage. Xander says that bitch. Gwen asks how he knew that Abigail figured the whole thing out. Xander is surprised to learn it was Abigail. Gwen explains that Kayla let Chad and Abigail into Dr. Snyder’s office where they found her original chart, so they brought it here and showed Jack. Gwen tells him that Jack was furious and wants nothing to do with her. Xander hugs her and says he’s so sorry as he thinks back to Melinda swearing Jack wouldn’t hear it from her. Xander promises Gwen that it will be okay.

Chad is glad Abigail no longer has to carry around guilt as he knows that was one of the issues that kept them apart. Abigail assures she’s not going anywhere and thanks him for being patient. Chad thanks her for being forgiving. Abigail is glad the truth came out but she feels horrible that Jack was hurt as he was really starting to care for Gwen and she doesn’t know if their relationship will survive this.

Steve finds Kayla at the hospital and informs her that Marlena told Belle that John went out of town on a case and didn’t tell anybody. Steve says he called the office but they had no idea what he’s talking about and John is not answering his phone, so something’s not right.

Belle goes to the hospital and hugs Shawn. Shawn informs her that he hasn’t had a chance to see Abe yet because he ran in to Ben and Ciara. Shawn then announces to Belle that Ben and Ciara are pregnant. Belle hugs him and says that’s wonderful.

Ben and Ciara go home. Ben talks about taking care of her throughout her pregnancy. Ciara asks if he’s really happy that he’s pregnant. Ciara knows he’s excited and they agreed that it would be a good idea, but she wants him to be honest as to if he’s still having reservations about being a dad. Ben says not anymore and assures that he’s so blessed to have a baby with the woman he loves as there’s nothing he’s wanted more in his life. Susan Banks then shows up at their door and says she had to come because she had a premonition about their baby.

Interview with Dean Winters and Shawnee Smith

TV Interview!

 

Shawnee Smith and Dean Winters of "Christmas Vs. The Walters"

Interview with Shawnee Smith and Dean Winters of “Christmas Vs. The Walters” – in theaters now by Suzanne 10/28

This movie is very funny and warm – great for the holidays! These two fine actors play the husband and wife of the Walters family. Shawnee is the main star of the film, but she has a wonderful cast surrounding her. Go see the movie because you’ll enjoy it! We had a fun chat here. I hope you like it as much as I did.

Suzanne:   So, when was the movie filmed, and how long did it take? Either of you?

Dean:   We shot the movie last November.

Shawnee:   Last year, yeah.

Dean:   Yeah. It was about a three and a half week shoot, and we shot it in Long Island and Melville. It was a real run and gun production, and we were able to capture the atmosphere of Christmas on Long Island. We just had a really, really good time shooting this film. I had been a massive fan of Shawnee’s for years and had a big crush on her. And when I met her, I melted. So, it just kind of added to the joy of making a film. She’s very easy to work with, and the film is really her film. So, we were all there to support Shawnee, and Shawnee is just, I mean, she’s just one of the really good ones, you know?

Shawnee:   Oh, what a good husband, right? I love him.

Suzanne:   I watched it yesterday, and I enjoyed it. It was it was funny, and it made me cry in one part.

Shawnee:   Right, I watched it. I watched it on my phone with my headphones late at night. The kids were all sleeping. I woke them up laughing. I was laughing out loud. I cried. I thought, you know, we’re not going to win any awards, but like, grab your family and go to the theater and have a ball. It sets a good tone for the rest of the holidays.

Suzanne:   It does. And you two seem very natural as a husband and wife. Did you do anything beforehand and sort of get to know each other better to prepare for that?

Shawnee:   We got married and pregnant.

Dean:   [laughs]

Shawnee:   Now we have three kids, because we are method actors.

Dean:   No, we actually met the day before filming, and it was just very, very natural. You know, good casting.

Suzanne:   You could tell. There’s a great cast anyway. I mean, you had so many great character actors.Paris Bravo, Gianni Ciardiello and Dean Winters of the movie "Christmas Vs. The Walters"

Shawnee:   The cast just kept filling out and filling out. I was like, “Who’s playing my doctor?” I mean, it was like, just when you thought it can’t get any better, you know, and then down to our ingenue, Paris Bravo plays our daughter, who’s amazing and a badass triple Black Belt. I mean, she’s like a future action star.

Dean:   Then, you have guys like Richard Thomas, and Bruce Dern and Chris Elliott. I mean, they really filled the room with great character actors, and it just kind of adds to the atmosphere.

Suzanne:   What was the both the best and worst, or most challenging things about making the movie?

Shawnee:   Definitely the most challenging was filming during COVID protocol. Rehearsing with masks on is just different. You can’t really rehearse like that. I mean, you do the best that you can, but all the windows and doors are open for ventilation, and it’s November. In November in New York, in Long Island; you’re freezing. God love the crew; they were masked up all the time, and we were testing every other day. Far and away that was the most challenging. Everything else was pretty easy.

Dean:   Yeah, we were one of the first movies to actually shoot during COVID. So, I think last October is when films really started to kind of dip their toe in the water again. So, it was a real[ly] new experience for everybody. So, that was the most challenging part. The fun part was just, we all just love each other very much. So, working with each other was really a no brainer, and that chemistry, you know, in real life, I think kind of parlays on screen.

Suzanne:   And [Shawnee], do you actually get stressed out at all on Christmas?

Shawnee:   Oh, listen, of course! I’m a mother. There’s so much pressure to be a family, have a meal, and then the presents, and you’re like, “We’re gonna keep it simple this year.” Somehow, Christmas Eve, just the momentum of the thing builds up, and it’s like that tension is just a fun thief, you know? Like, the fun part of Christmas Vs. the Walters is that circumstances all around just break everybody down to the point where they just let go of the reins, and then everyone exhales and starts to have fun together, you know, take the pressure off. So, I think my good technique for taking the pressure off this Christmas will be just put on your pajamas and go to the theater and watch Christmas Vs. the Walters.

Suzanne:   And Dean do you get most recognized for that Mayhem commercials or for a show you a movie that you did?

Dean:   Pretty much Mayhem sums it up. [laughs] Yeah, in New York, it’s like, you know, yesterday, I was walking down the block, and within the span of walking down the block, I got Oz, Sex and the City, Law & Order, and then Mayhem, but it’s really just Mayhem all day long.

Suzanne:   Well, you do such a good job of it. I hate your character. I hate those commercials – not that guy! But I like you, and I loved you in Law & Order: SVU.

Dean:   Oh, thank you.

Suzanne:   Anything else? We’re almost done… anything else you’d like say about the movie?

Dean:   I think that this movie has a tone for a Christmas film that I haven’t seen before. Every great Christmas film has its own tone, whether it’s Elf or Scrooge or It’s a Wonderful Life, whatever, and this movie has a different tone to it, and I think that’s what is going to hopefully make it have its own little kind of special niche. It’s really just a lovely film about showing you what’s important, which is usually right in front of your face.

Suzanne:   And Shawnee, final words?

Shawnee:   You love this family. I love this family; that’s a marriage that I want to be in, and I root for them. Last Christmas, we were all in the middle of this pandemic, and we couldn’t go to the theater, and we couldn’t be with our families, and so this year, let’s do it and have a ball. Looking forward to it.

Suzanne:   Thank you guys. I really appreciate you taking the time to talk to me.

Here’s the Video!

Update written by Joseph

At the Kiriakis Mansion, Maggie tries to talk to Victor then complains about him not listening. Victor apologizes and explains that he’s engrossed in an article about Ava Vitali being arrested for the murder of the guy who shot Abe and says it’s wonderful. Maggie comments on that horrible man no longer being a threat while Victor clarifies he’s excited about Ava going down for murder. Victor reminds her that Ava blackmailed Philip and forced him to launder money from his company, so he’s allowed to revel in her misfortune. Maggie says whatever sparks his joy. Victor calls it another miscreant behind bars and jokes that the Salem police department lockup must be running out of room. Justin then walks in and announces that a couple spots just opened up. Maggie excitedly hugs him and exclaims that he is free. Justin responds that it’s all thanks to uncle Victor and Steve Johnson so Maggie then turns to Victor.

Steve and Jack sit together at the Brady Pub. Steve tells him that right about now, Gwen should be getting released. Jack doesn’t know how to thank him for coming through for his daughter. Steve says that when Victor told him the original deal didn’t include Bonnie and Gwen, he didn’t think that was right, so he fought for their release too and was happy to do it. Jack notes that Steve isn’t a fan of either one of them. Steve admits he’s come around on Bonnie and that Gwen is his niece so he couldn’t just let her go to prison.

Melinda brings Gwen to Xander at the police station. Xander asks what took so long since Justin had already been released. Melinda explains that the only reason Gwen is free is because her uncle Steve played hardball. Gwen tells Xander that apparently Victor’s deal didn’t include Bonnie or her. Melinda remarks that if it were up to her, all four of them would be serving time in prison. Xander is not surprised she’d want them all locked up. Melinda responds that their freedom was a small price to pay for what she got in return; the bitch who murdered her daughter.

Chad goes to see Kristen in the interrogation room. Kristen thanks him for coming and asks where EJ is. Chad informs her that EJ won’t be showing up. Kristen asks why not since she needs EJ to represent her. Chad responds that he will let EJ explain it to her himself as he hands her a letter.

Abigail goes to the hospital and asks Kayla if she got her text the other day. Kayla says she did and then everything with Abe got crazy. Abigail hopes Kayla can help her out now. Abigail tells Kayla that she thinks Gwen has been lying to Jack and she needs her to help her prove it.

Justin explains that Melinda dropped all charges so he probably won’t be disbarred. Maggie calls that fantastic news and asks if Victor happened to pull some strings. Victor admits he might have negotiated a mutually beneficial deal with Melinda. Maggie asks what Melinda got out of the deal. Victor tells her it was someone she’s always wanted; Kristen DiMera. Maggie thought Kristen went in to hiding. Victor reveals that he hired Steve to find her and it looks like he already found her and took her straight to Melinda. Justin confirms that Kristen is already in custody. Victor asks if this day can get any better. Justin appreciates Victor’s help since things were looking pretty dire. Victor calls Justin the best of them and says he couldn’t allow him to go to prison even if what he did was very stupid. Justin tells Victor that he loves him and thanks him. Justin adds that he and Bonnie owe him. Victor questions what Bonnie has to do with this. Bonnie then walks in with a bottle of champagne and shouts that it’s time to get the party started.

Xander jokes that he’d love to see the look on Victor’s face when he finds out Bonnie is out of jail. Gwen asks if Victor hates Bonnie that match. Xander tells her that Victor can’t stand the sight of her and is convinced that she’s not nearly good enough for Justin. Gwen can’t imagine what Victor will think of her then. Xander doesn’t give a damn since Victor’s opinion hasn’t mattered to him in a long time. Melinda tells them that she has a psychopath to put away but something tells her that it won’t be long before she sees one or both of them back here again. Xander stops Melinda and reminds her that they have unfinished business…

Kayla asks what Abigail thinks Gwen is lying about. Abigail explains that Gwen admitted to Jack that Dr. Snyder blackmailed her in to being his drug courier. Kayla mentions that Jack told her about Gwen being a sex worker in her past. Abigail talks about how Jack would totally understand and Gwen knew that, so she doesn’t see why Gwen would allow herself to be blackmailed in to delivering drugs just to keep Jack from finding out that she used to be a sex worker. Abigail says Gwen has done worse things since coming to town and has felt no shame, so she thinks Gwen is lying about her past. Abigail thinks Gwen is hiding something much worse.

Victor questions why Bonnie is not in jail. Bonnie laughs and asks what he’s talking about. Bonnie says Victor is the one who got her sprung, so she bought champagne to thank him. Victor says she’s not welcome and that there must be some sort of mix up. Justin asks what he means. Victor complains that he negotiated the deal for Justin and Xander to be released but it didn’t include Bonnie. Bonnie guesses that Steve re-negotiated the terms since she and Gwen are both now free.

Xander tells Melinda that they are not walking out of here until she returns his briefcase. Melinda asks if he means the one filled with a million dollars. Xander argues that now that Bonnie’s case is closed, she doesn’t need it as evidence anymore. Gwen adds that they have really big plans for that money starting with a tropical paradise resort. Melinda agrees to get them the money but says the paper work will take awhile so they can come back in an hour or two. Xander responds that he’ll be there and he expects every last dollar. Xander and Gwen then exit the police station together.

Steve tells Jack that he and Kayla had a hard time accepting Gwen into the family after what she did to Jack, Jennifer, and Abigail. Jack understands but assures that Gwen regrets everything she’s done and the pain she has caused. Jack says she has worked hard to make amends and turn her life around. Steve points out that the only reason Gwen was in a cell was because she was trying to take down a corrupt judge. Jack hopes that counts for something. Steve admits he had to give Gwen a second chance as he’s had plenty himself. Jack says he has too and he truly believes that Gwen has changed and is done for good with secrets and lies…

Kayla asks what Abigail thinks Dr. Snyder was holding over Gwen if she wasn’t a sex worker. Abigail admits she doesn’t know and she hopes she is wrong since Gwen and Jack have gotten close. Abigail says she hates the thought of hurting Jack and Gwen after their fight on the stairs. Abigail talks about how Dr. Snyder treated Gwen after her fall, so part of her feels like she should just let it all go but she just has the feeling that something else is going on which is where Kayla comes in. Kayla doesn’t see how she could help. Abigail wants to take a look at Dr. Snyder’s office to find some clue as to what he was really holding over Gwen.

Kristen reads EJ’s letter, saying he knows that she was counting on him to represent her against her latest charges, but the Board has advised him not to take her case because it would reflect badly on the company. EJ wrote that he would do what he can behind the scenes but he can’t do so in public. Kristen argues that she nursed EJ back from the grave and this is how he repays her. Chad tells her that he lobbied hard but EJ refuses to go against Mr. Shin. Kristen argues that her future is on the line and without EJ’s help, she could spend the rest of her life behind bars.

Steve asks Jack about he and Gwen getting pretty close. Jack says now that she’s finally let down her guard, he got a glimpse of the woman she could’ve been without the chip on her shoulder. Jack calls her selfless and caring, especially when it comes to Xander. They talk about things getting serious between Gwen and Xander. Jack states that now that they are out of jail, they have a real chance to see where it can go.

Gwen and Xander return home. Gwen questions no one being home to welcome them back. Xander points out that no one would be glad to see them except Jack. Xander opens up her laptop because he wants to get started on their vacation plans. Gwen asks about his excitement for it. Xander tells her that they’ve been apart for weeks in tiny cells so the least they deserve is to unwind on a beach somewhere. Gwen agrees as they kiss.

Kayla brings Abigail to Dr. Snyder’s office. Kayla explains that the police had sealed his office but as of this morning, the case is officially closed since all charges against Xander were dropped and he was the last unresolved part of the case as the rest of the drug ring has already been rounded up. Abigail asks if she’s sure this is okay so she doesn’t get in any trouble. Kayla says she’s retrieved all of the patient files so all that is left are Dr. Snyder’s personal things. Abigail thanks her. Kayla tells her to just lock the door when she leaves and wishes her luck as she hopes she finds what she is looking for. Kayla then exits the office.

Chad tells Kristen not to panic because EJ hired another attorney who is supposed to be top-notch and will meet her at the courthouse later. Kristen questions when EJ became such a coward that he couldn’t come tell her to her face that he was abandoning her. Chad points out that it could be considered bad publicity. Kristen notes that it didn’t seem to bother Chad and asks if he’s not scared of incurring Mr. Shin’s wrath. Chad responds that he likes to live dangerously. Kristen thanks him for coming. Chad is sorry that she’s in this mess. Kristen says she’s only in it because Victor sent Steve Johnson after her. Kristen remarks that she really should stab Victor in the heart again.

Victor complains that Steve went behind his back and negotiated a side deal. Victor says he should’ve known he couldn’t trust him. Justin argues that he thought Victor did something nice for a change. Victor responds that he did do something nice, just not for Bonnie. Bonnie doesn’t know why he’s making such a big fuss since he got what he wanted and Justin and Xander are free. Bonnie jokes that she and Gwen are just a bonus. Victor decides he’s going to call Melinda because this has to be fixed right away. Justin stops him and tells him that the deal is done. Justin reminds Victor that Bonnie is innocent and deserves her freedom. Victor argues that Bonnie killed a woman and tucked her in Justin’s bed. Bonnie calls that self defense which Victor finds hard to believe. Maggie tells him to let it go because Justin and Bonnie have been through enough and are ready to put this nightmare behind them. Justin confirms that’s what he intends to do and they plan to pick up right where they left off. Justin asks Bonnie what she thinks about getting married today.

Bonnie questions Justin wanting to get married today. Justin asks why not and says they can have the ceremony right here like they originally planned. Victor claims this venue is booked because he’s having friends over for lunch. Justin argues that Victor doesn’t have any friends and declares they are having the ceremony right here. Justin hopes the justice of peace, matron of honor, and best man are all available. Justin says he’ll call them now. Bonnie questions what to wear since her wedding dress is all wrinkled and still in the bag from being arrested. Justin tells her to wear the dress she was going to wear for the reception. Bonnie decides that’s perfect and tells Justin that she loves him so much as they kiss. Bonnie adds that Justin has made her the happiest woman in the world. Justin grabs her bottle of champagne and they exit. Victor remarks that he’s going to kill Steve.

Steve goes to the hospital and surprises Kayla. Steve figured she’d be on her break so he wanted to see if he could take her for a stroll in the park. Kayla says that sounds lovely but she needs to hear from the lab and then they can go. Kayla asks about his breakfast with Jack. Steve confirms Jack was happy that he got Gwen released. Steve just hopes that their niece can stay out of trouble from now on. Kayla is sorry to say but she thinks Gwen might be lying to Jack again. Steve asks what about. Steve then gets a call from Justin and asks him what’s up.

Melinda enters the interrogation room and tells Kristen that she heard the bad news that EJ is throwing her to the wolves. Kristen responds that EJ did arrange for another lawyer so she’s not worried. Melinda warns that she should be because she’ll be serving the five years of her original sentence that would’ve just been two but she broke out twice and now she’s facing additional charges of kidnapping and aggravated assault. Melinda tells Kristen that she’s going away for a very, very long time and she’s the one that is making it happen.

Chad joins Abigail in Dr. Snyder’s office and asks if she found anything yet. Abigail says not so far. Chad asks where she wants him to start looking. Abigail directs him to the cabinets and asks how things went with Kristen. Chad tells her that Kristen is upset that EJ is not taking the case and he can’t blame her since EJ goes on and on about being loyal but he’s only ever out for himself. Chad asks Abigail what exactly they are looking for. Abigail admits she doesn’t know and is just hoping something will jump out at them. Abigail concludes she might be grasping at straws and there’s nothing to find. Chad assures they are not giving up because if Gwen has a secret in here, they are going to find it.

Xander and Gwen continue kissing. Gwen suggests they take it to her room. Xander points out that no one is here anyways. Gwen reminds him about how Julie feels about the couch. Xander responds that Julie’s not here and doesn’t have to know. Xander says he can’t wait another second as they continue kissing and he removes his shirt. Xander starts to undress Gwen until Jack walks in and then Gwen shoves Xander off of her. Jack apologizes for interrupting. Xander jokes with Gwen about her pushing him off of her. Jack says he should just get going but Gwen stops him and asks him not to go. Gwen tells Jack that she’s so happy to see him. Jack feels the same and says Steve filled him in on everything. Jack hugs Gwen and welcomes her home. Gwen feels she owes Steve so much. Jack tells her to pay Steve back by having a really good life. Gwen says she plans to do that and she’s relieved to never think about Dr. Snyder ever again..

Chad and Abigail continue searching Dr. Snyder’s office. Chad notes that Dr. Snyder was in to legal thrillers but not the classics. Chad opens one of the books and a paper falls out. Chad says it looks like a medical record. Abigail sees that it is for Gwen. Chad realizes it’s about the miscarriage. Abigail questions why Dr. Snyder would be keeping that hidden away in a book.

Kristen tells Melinda that she’s very aware of the deal she made with Victor and Steve. Kristen says she’s a little surprised that an overachiever like her would cut loose four potential feathers in her cap. Melinda responds that it was so worth it for the woman who killed her daughter to waste away in a prison cell. Melinda declares that she will finally have justice for her little girl. Kristen says she’s sorry about Haley but it truly was an accident. Melinda tells her to shut the hell up with her excuses as she took her daughter away from her. Kristen complains that Melinda is doing exactly the same to her as she may never see Rachel again. Melinda says that seems fair to her since she lost her daughter because of Kristen, so she’s just returning the favor.

Steve and Kayla go to the Kiriakis Mansion for the wedding. Maggie informs them that Justin and Bonnie are still getting dressed. Victor tells Steve that this is all his fault as they had a deal and it did not include him going behind his back to make any side deals to release any other trash around town. Kayla questions if Steve was supposed to leave them behind when Bonnie was innocent and Gwen was just helping Xander. Steve declares there was no way in Hell that he was going to leave his brother’s daughter and Justin’s fiancee in prison, so he doesn’t give a damn what Victor thinks. Victor remarks that he should’ve known Steve would go rogue. Victor tells Steve that he is not paying him a cent and is not going to hire him either. Justin and Bonnie then enter the room. Steve notes that the happy couple doesn’t look so happy and asks what’s going on. Justin reveals that the justice of peace is not available so they have to postpone the ceremony. Maggie then announces that she could officiate. Bonnie questions Maggie offering when she doesn’t even like her. Maggie admits Bonnie is not her favorite person, but she is Justin’s, so that counts for something. Justin thanks Maggie. Victor argues that Maggie is not ordained but she reveals that she got ordained in prison last year when she had a lot of time on her hands. Kayla and Steve think it’s a great idea. Bonnie says there’s nothing she wants more. Maggie goes to write a script. Kayla gives Bonnie a bouquet. Bonnie mentions that her daughter Mimi wanted to video chat so she could watch, so she asks if Kayla will hold her phone for her. Justin adds that Sonny wanted to do the same, so he asks Steve to hold his phone for Sonny and his brothers which he agrees to do. Bonnie knows she’s about to have the happiest day of her life and says it’s all because of Steve getting her out of prison. Bonnie thanks Steve for all that he did for her and Justin. Justin tells Steve that they are so very grateful. Steve says he and Kayla are grateful too that Justin is happy again. Justin guesses they are all set and asks if Victor is staying. Victor asks why he wouldn’t since he was there first. Justin tells Victor to suit himself but he better be on his best behavior.

Jack decides to make a toast to Gwen and Xander’s freedom. Jack knows the last few months have not been easy but he’s been impressed by how they looked out for each other. Jack wants to think of this as a fresh start. Xander then gets a text from Melinda that the paper work is finished so he can collect his briefcase. Xander says he’ll be back as soon as he can. Xander tells Gwen that they are one step closer to their paradise. Xander kisses Gwen and thanks Jack for the welcome as he then exits the house. Jack guesses they are official now. Gwen confirms so and asks how Jack feels about that. Jack asks if Xander makes her happy. Gwen says that he does, so Jack gives his blessing. Gwen says that means more to her than he knows. Gwen thanks him and callls him dad. Gwen starts to apologize but Jack says he’s been waiting months to hear her call him dad.

Abigail reads the medical report on Gwen’s miscarriage and it says she drove herself to the hospital 20 minutes after symptoms began. Chad notes that’s not what happened since Gwen took an ambulance. Abigail says this doesn’t make any sense as it doesn’t mention Gwen falling down the stairs. Abigail points out the time on it and it says this exam took place hours before her and Gwen’s argument. Chad questions Gwen being here before the accident. Abigail then comes to a realization.

Maggie begins Justin and Bonnie’s wedding ceremony. Maggie asks if anyone objects. Justin tells Victor not to even think about it. Victor says it was worth a shot. Maggie then continues the ceremony. Justin and Bonnie exchange their vows. Justin and Bonnie then place the rings on their fingers. Maggie then pronounces Justin and Bonnie husband and wife as they kiss.

Xander goes to the interrogation room and asks Melinda where his money is. Melinda places the briefcase on the table. Xander warns that there would be hell to pay if it’s not all there. Melinda then stops him by slamming the briefcase shut and informs him that he won’t be spending a penny of this, because he’s giving the money to her or else she will blow Gwen’s life sky high.

Gwen asks if Jack is really okay with her calling him dad. Jack asks why he wouldn’t be. Gwen says the whole father-daughter thing is new to her and she didn’t know if they were quite there yet. Jack wants to remove any doubt from her mind. Jack tells her that she is his daughter and he loves her so nothing will ever change that. Gwen tearfully thanks him and calls him dad as they hug. Abigail and Chad then walk in to interrupt. Jack calls it perfect as they are just in time to join their little celebration. Abigail responds that she’s sorry but the party is over.

Update written by Joseph

Philip exits the Brady Pub and bumps in to Nick. Philip apologizes as Nick tells him not to worry about it, wishes him a Happy Halloween, and keeps on walking. Philip stops and thinks to himself that it’s weird that the guy in the zombie costume looked exactly like Nick Fallon, but questions how that could be when Nick is dead.

Gabi digs up the grave where Nick said he buried Jake.

Shawn goes to the police station. Eli apologizes for calling him in so late. Shawn says it’s no problem and asks what’s going on. Eli informs him that All Hallows Eve has brought out the goons, goblins, and crazies, starting with Gabi, who apparently busted Jake out of holding. Eli says that doesn’t even compare to the murder suspect they have in the interrogation room; Ava Vitali. Shawn asks what happened. Eli thinks Ava just snapped.

Ava sits in the interrogation room, wondering how it’s possible that Charlie is back. Ava tells herself that she shouldn’t have run, she should’ve stayed and stopped him. Ava pleads for Charlie not to hurt Tripp.

Tripp bursts in to Nicole and Allie’s apartment to find Charlie holding Allie hostage. Tripp orders Charlie to get the hell away from her. Charlie says he’s not surprised to see superman Tripp come to the rescue. Tripp is shocked and says that Ava was right that he really is here. Charlie asks what he’s going to do about it.

Gabi continues digging up the grave, yelling for Jake not to give up.

Shawn questions Eli about Ava stabbing Carmine. Eli tells him that all the talk about Ava breaking free from her past, it seems like those ties run deep as she was apparently hiding Carmine at Rafe’s house. Shawn asks if she admitted that. Eli notes that she’s not admitting much of anything and not even making sense, so he’s heading out on a few leads to find out what happened. Eli asks Shawn to try to get Ava to tell him exactly what she knows. Shawn agrees to try. Eli hopes he can get her to talk to him about something other than people rising from the dead.

Rafe goes to the Basic Black office to see Nicole and says it better be good. Nicole informs Rafe that Deimos was here and he came back to get her, so she killed him by stabbing him with a pair of scissors. Rafe tells her that Deimos Kiriakis is dead. Nicole responds that he is inside, dead on the floor with a pair of scissors in his chest, so he can go look for himself. Rafe then opens the door and tells Nicole that she needs to come in. Nicole enters the office and sees nothing but a pair of scissors on the floor and no Deimos, leaving Nicole shocked. Nicole doesn’t understand, insisting that Deimos was right there.

Gabi continues digging the grave and opens the casket to find Jake inside. Gabi tells Jake that she’s there.

Charlie guesses Ava filled Tripp in and warned him that he was back in town. Tripp asks Allie if he has hurt her. Allie says no. Tripp tries to get Allie but Charlie says he’s in charge and she’s not going anywhere. Tripp encourages that everything will be okay. Charlie mocks her. Tripp says to let her go since he’s the one that Charlie hates, not her. Charlie says he’s right about that and this is finally his chance to do something about it.

Shawn enters the interrogation room. Ava asks if Eli told him what happened and says he has to find Charlie. Shawn promises to look in to it, but first he wants to talk to her. Ava just wants him to find Charlie before it’s too late. Shawn says he can’t help her until he knows the facts. Ava argues that she told Eli the facts. Shawn tells her to tell them to him now and start with what happened between her and Carmine. Ava calls this a waste of time because she didn’t kill Carmine, her son Charlie did. Shawn argues that Charlie is dead because Jan Spears killed him so she could not have seen him. Ava recalls everyone in town being a suspect. Shawn says it doesn’t matter who killed Charlie, the fact is that he’s dead.

Gabi tries to wake Jake up. She pulls him out of the casket and gives him CPR which successfully revives him. Jake asks what the hell happened. Gabi asks if he’s okay. Jake questions being in a coffin and says he’s much more alive than he was a few minutes ago. Gabi hugs him and says she almost lost him. Jake tells her to let him breathe for a second. Jake asks her what the hell is going on. Gabi tells him that she saw what she saw and still doesn’t know what happened. Gabi asks if he knows how he got here. Jake remembers a cop taking him to lockup in jail and then someone grabbed him from behind which is the last thing he remembers until just waking up. Gabi blames herself and says Nick Fallon came after him because of her and buried him in his grave. Jake asks if Nick is the guy that she killed.

Nicole cries that this doesn’t make any sense since Deimos was dead on the floor with the pair of scissors in his chest. Nicole asks how he could just disappear. Nicole asks if Rafe thinks she’s crazy. Rafe asks her what happened. Nicole tells him that she was working and heard a noise, then she looked up and Deimos was at the door. Nicole says Deimos was so angry and told her she was going to pay, so she grabbed the scissors and stabbed him. Nicole insists that he was right there when she called Rafe. Rafe goes over Deimos coming back from the dead, she killed him, and now he’s gone. Rafe points out there is no blood on the scissors but they say zombies don’t bleed. Nicole says she’s never been so terrified in her life. Rafe says that if Deimos came back from the dead, he has a lot of enemies, so he questions why he would come after her. Nicole responds that he said he wanted revenge. Rafe asks what it would be revenge for. Rafe asks Nicole why Deimos would want revenge on her. Nicole claims it’s because she rejected him and he was obsessed with her. Rafe questions that being why Deimos came back from the dead to try to kill her tonight and if he never got over that even after dying. Nicole understands if he doesn’t believe her. Rafe says she was here alone in the dark on Halloween and everyone’s thinking of ghouls and goblins, so it’s natural if her mind was playing tricks on her. Nicole insists that wasn’t the case but then admits maybe it was all in her imagination. Nicole apologizes for bothering him. Rafe says it’s okay but Nicole wants to just forget what happened here and says she was acting like a crazy woman. Nicole tells Rafe to just go home to Ava. Rafe responds that he’s actually not going home to Ava, because Ava is being questioned about a murder.

Ava tells Shawn not to speak to her like she’s an idiot because they all know Jan Spears killed Charlie, but that doesn’t change the fact that Charlie showed up in her kitchen tonight and killed Carmine. Ava says that Charlie started ranting about how she would never love him and came after her with the knife, so she ran. Shawn goes over Carmine wanting her dead and now he’s dead. Ava repeats that Charlie killed him. Shawn knows that’s her story. Ava calls it the truth. Shawn thought she changed her ways, living with Rafe and starting a new life. Ava asks what he’s trying to get at. Shawn notes that she had a good thing going but then her past comes back to bite her. Shawn wonders if things got out of hand and she’s latching on to this crazy story because she doesn’t want to take responsibility for killing Carmine.

Eli goes to the Kiriakis Mansion. Philip jokingly asks if he’s out trick or treating. Eli says he’s here on police business. Philip asks what he can do for him. Eli informs him that Carmine was found dead earlier this evening. Philip says he heard about that on the news and asks if he was the man who shot Abe. Philip questions what he wants with him. Eli tells him to cut the innocent act since he knows that he’s up to his eyes in this, because Carmine was in town because of Philip to dig up dirt on Jake, that he was going to use to get Gabi to hand over her company to him but instead he ended up shooting Abe. Philip calls that quite a tale. Eli asks Philip when he last saw Carmine. Philip flashes back to Carmine showing up at the mansion to confront he and Ava. Philip admits that he learned some unsavory details about an employee and fired him for it but says that’s not a crime. Philip adds that if Carmine is an associate of Jake then maybe he should talk to Jake.

Jake reminds Gabi that she killed Nick Fallon twice, so he asks how the hell he’s alive enough to try to kill him. Gabi says all she knows is that Nick was dead and buried until tonight and now he’s walking around Salem as creepy as he was when he was alive. Jake questions if she’s saying Nick’s a zombie and says that’s crazy. Nick then appears and says they should’ve left well enough alone because now they’re going to have to do this all over again.

Nicole asks Rafe why Ava is being questioned about a murder. Rafe informs her that he went home and found Carmine dead on his kitchen floor. Nicole recognizes Carmine as the man suspected of shooting Abe. Rafe guesses that Ava had been hiding him in his house even though it put he and his family at risk. Nicole asks if he thinks Ava might have killed Carmine. Rafe admits he doesn’t know but there is definitely a connection between them. Nicole guesses he’s thinking Ava is reverting to his old ways. Rafe adds that according to Gabi, Ava hooked Philip up with Carmine to get dirt on Jake, so they could blackmail Gabi and take over Gabi Chic. Nicole can’t believe Ava would do that. Rafe talks about Ava being nice to Gabi for weeks when the whole time she’s been plotting to take over her company with Philip. Nicole says she’s so sorry. Rafe declares that it looks like he’s been played for the fool as apparently Ava hasn’t been honest with him for a very long time.

Ava repeats to Shawn that she did not murder Carmine, Charlie did. Ava says this isn’t just about her but about keeping everyone in town safe. Ava tells Shawn that Charlie is on the loose and wants Henry back, so he could be going after Allie as they speak.

Tripp calls Charlie a pathetic loser. Allie warns him not to make it worse. Charlie threatens Tripp. Tripp tells him to pick on someone his own size instead of Allie. Charlie mocks Allie as innocent and says she wanted it that night. Tripp warns him to shut up. Charlie asks if he’s going to kill him when he’s already dead which he blames Tripp for. Tripp says he’s not the one who put a bullet in him. Charlie argues that Tripp was there on the night that Jan shot him, but he walked away. Tripp says he didn’t know he was inside. Charlie argues that if Tripp busted down the door or called an ambulance, he’d still be alive. Charlie then remarks that he’s glad Tripp didn’t try to rescue him because then Jan might have killed him and now that pleasure is his. Charlie declares there’s no better way to repay Tripp for taking his life than to take him back down to Hell with him. Charlie then tackles Tripp as Allie screams.

Gabi tells Nick that she doesn’t know how the hell he came back from the dead but says he’s not going anywhere near Jake. Nick reminds her it’s payback as they flashback to Gabi killing Nick. Nick says if he kills the man she loves, they are even. Jake tries to go after Nick but he can’t get up. Gabi tells Nick to leave him alone. Nick then shoves Gabi down. Jake calls Nick a bastard. Nick calls Jake hard to kill but says at first if you don’t succeed, try a stake through the heart. Jake thinks Nick is confused since he’s not the undead one. Nick thinks it will still get the job done. Nick says it might be overkill, but whatever it takes. Gabi then recovers and hits Nick with a shovel to the back of the head, knocking him out.

Tripp and Charlie fight until Allie grabs a frying pan and hits Charlie in the back of the head. Allie says she should’ve done that a long time ago. Charlie calls her a bitch and warns that she will regret that. Tripp and Charlie punch each other. Tripp pins Charlie down on the couch and tells him it’s over. Charlie argues that Tripp thinks he won because he got their mom, his son, and Allie. Charlie remarks that Tripp can play house all he wants but deep down he knows Allie will always be damaged goods as all he got was his sloppy seconds. Tripp then attacks Charlie and beats him with the frying pan.

Gabi confirms that Nick is dead again. Jake didn’t know zombies had heartbeats. Gabi remarks that Nick didn’t have a heart when he was alive. Gabi hopes Nick is dead for good this time. Jake thanks her for killing Nick before he could kill him. Gabi notes that she’s already killed Nick twice so she guesses third time was the charm. Gabi asks if they should put him back where he belongs. Jake calls that a good idea. Gabi helps Jake up and they put Nick back in his casket in his grave. Jake brings up Gabi putting this maniac out of his misery three times and questions how Nick got out and climbed out of his grave. Gabi says she has no clue and doesn’t even think she wants to find out.

Eli tells Philip that he would like to talk to Jake but he busted out of jail tonight. Philip says Eli’s higher ups must not be pleased and asks if there are any leads. Eli admits Jake may have had help. Philip guesses he means Gabi and that Gabi busted her mobster boyfriend out of the slammer. Philip says he knew they were bad news and he’s glad he fired Jake. Philip questions Eli not being out hunting for them instead of harassing innocent citizens. Eli argues that the innocent part is still up for debate, but he does have to get back to the station. Eli decides they are done for tonight but he may have more questions. Philip knows not to leave town and says Eli knows where he’ll be if he needs him. Eli then exits the mansion.

Nicole tells Rafe that she knew Ava and Gabi didn’t get along but Gabi’s company means everything to her. Rafe tells her not to feel too bad for Gabi since it looks like Gabi may have helped Jake break out of jail tonight. Rafe thought he would spend the night confiscating toilet paper and shaving cream. Nicole apologizes for calling him over to deal with a pair of scissors. Rafe acknowledges that she was obviously very shaken up. Nicole says it was over nothing and apologizes again. Rafe tells her to stop apologizing and that it’s okay. Rafe is glad he was there because he was worried about her. Nicole assures that she’s fine, so he can go solve the case. Rafe informs her that Eli is working the investigation because he’s a little too close to Gabi and Ava. Rafe is glad that he’s here because he doesn’t want to leave Nicole alone on a night like tonight. Nicole responds that she’s not alone and points out that she has their teddy bear Duke. Rafe asks what if he wants to be the one who is there when she needs him. Nicole says he is there for her and always has been because they are friends. Rafe jokes that maybe he’s jealous of all the time she spends with Duke. Nicole reminds him that they agreed to stay away from each other so he could give his relationship with Ava a chance. Rafe points out that it’s not working for him anymore. Nicole asks what about him and Ava. Rafe says after what happened tonight, he doesn’t know if there is a he and Ava. Nicole argues that they haven’t even talked and there may be an explanation. Rafe questions an explanation for screwing over his sister and finding a dead guy on his kitchen floor. Rafe states that he’s tried with Ava, given her the benefit of the doubt, and defended her to his sister. Rafe adds that he avoided Nicole and pretending that donuts and coffee is enough is not because of every time he sees her. Rafe then kisses Nicole.

Shawn reminds Ava of when Charlie drugged her and she was seeing people that weren’t there. Ava notes that Tripp said the same thing but insists that Charlie was not a hallucination or else Carmine wouldn’t be dead. Ava stops Shawn and wants to speak to someone who is actually going to listen. Shawn asks if she wants a lawyer. Ava says she wants Rafe. Shawn says he’s sorry but Rafe isn’t here. Ava points out that she’s entitled to a phone call so Shawn agrees to call Rafe for her.

Rafe and Nicole continue kissing as Rafe’s phone rings on the desk nearby.

Shawn informs Ava that Rafe is not picking up. Shawn leaves a message that he’s at the station with Ava and she wants to talk to him, so he asks him to call when he gets the message.

Allie stops Tripp and says that’s enough as Charlie can’t hurt her anymore. Tripp assures that Charlie will never hurt her again. Tripp turns back to the couch but Charlie has disappeared.

Jake asks Gabi if they should re-bury Nick. Gabi says she’s dug up enough dirt tonight and doesn’t want to wait around for someone else to get reanimated. Jake is ready to get out of here too. Gabi tells Jake that they should get him to the hospital. Jake reminds her that he’s an escaped prisoner. Gabi argues that he did not escape and did nothing wrong. Jake says he still needs to set things straight with the cops. Jake adds that he’d like to get Gabi home and in bed, but he has to get back to jail.

Shawn tells Ava that he’s sorry Rafe didn’t pick up. Ava urges him to call again. Shawn says Rafe is obviously busy. Ava asks Shawn to call again if Rafe doesn’t call back. Shawn says he has places to be right now but assures that Rafe will call back when he gets the message and then he will let her know. Shawn then exits the room.

Rafe and Nicole continue kissing. Rafe removes his jacket as they kiss onto the table in the Basic Black office.

Eli goes back to the police station and asks Shawn if he got anything out of Ava. Shawn says no and that she’s sticking to her story that her dead son did it. Shawn asks if there’s any news on Jake. Eli responds that he’s still at large. Gabi and Jake then arrive at the station. Gabi knows what they are thinking but says they can explain. Shawn accuses Gabi of busting Jake out of here. Gabi says that’s not how it happened. Eli wants to hear every detail of how it happened and asks who is going first. Jake says not to blame Gabi because she had nothing to do with his escape. Jake then claims he did it all on his own.

Tripp searches the apartment but Charlie is gone. Allie argues that he couldn’t have just disappeared. Allie asks if this was real. Tripp doesn’t know what’s going on but says it’s not just them and tells her that Ava saw him too. Allie guesses that’s why Ava called him. Tripp explains how Charlie killed somebody right in front of Ava then came after her but Ava barely escaped. Tripp admits he didn’t believe Ava at first and just blew it off. Allie asks how he knew to show up here. Tripp tells her that Ava was afraid that Charlie would go after her. Allie worries about if Tripp didn’t show up and Charlie took Henry. Tripp assures that they are safe. Allie thanks him. Tripp says the only reason he’s still breathing is because she’s good with a frying pan and thanks her. Tripp hugs Allie as she cries. Allie then says “I love you” to Tripp for the first time. Allie tells him that she wants to say it because it’s true and repeats that she loves him as they kiss.

Best Lines provided by Eva

Adam: Hi, there. Was it something that I said?

Sally: I’m just trying to determine which one of your multiple personalities I’m dealing with. It’s a little guessing game I
play with myself.

Adam: Oh. I see.

Sally: ‘Cause sometimes I’m almost certain that I’ve run into friendly, funny, down-to-earth Adam, and then, no, he turns out to be [Clears throat] Officious Adam, busy CEO and all-around important guy with no time to waste on a
lowly peon like me.

Adam: [ Sighs ] I was — I was too abrupt with you yesterday. Although I did apologize, or try to.

Sally: Ah, yes, mea culpa Adam. An intriguing new addition to the cast of characters.

Adam: How many are there?

Sally: It’s an ever-changing landscape.

Adam: Wow. You know, that, it sounds kind of fascinating.

Sally: Fortunately, there is a fool-proof way to settle this. I will just invite to join me for lunch and see which Adam
fields the request.

Adam: I’d love to have lunch with you, but I’m booked today. I am actually here for a meeting.

Sally: Damn. I knew it. Now I owe myself 20 bucks.

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

Adam: I really hope you’re not taking it personally that i have a business meeting.

Sally: No. I am not that girl. Like I told you, this is just a game to me. I’m going for best three out of five.

Adam: [ Sighs ]

Sally: No, wait. This might’ve been my third rejection — not that I’m keeping track.

Adam: Oh, no. Of course not, because we made a mutual agreement to keep things strictly professional between us.

Sally: Yes, and in retrospect, I’m so glad we did that. That way, I don’t get saddled with your chronic mood swings.

Adam: Okay, well, you are now making me wish my schedule was clear because you would be a much more entertaining lunch date than the person I’m meeting with.

Sally: Well, you could always bail. You know, things do come up.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Sadly, I’m afraid I can’t this time.

Sally: Mm. My, must be VIP.

Nicole says they both know she should get rid of Duke but she’s not doing that and asks why that is. Nicole then questions why she’s talking to a stuffed bear. Zombie Deimos then appears in the doorway and remarks that talking to yourself is the first sign of insanity. Nicole screams and falls over in shock. Nicole says that he’s dead. Deimos confirms that he is because Nicole murdered him, yet here he is. Deimos remarks that Nicole hasn’t changed a bit and asks if he has as he laughs. Nicole asks why he is here. Deimos responds that they have some unfinished business.

Gabi is shocked as she runs in to Zombie Nick Fallon in the park. Nick says he’s not quite in the flesh, but close enough. Nick asks Gabi if she’s missed him. Gabi screams. Nick talks about missing her voice. Gabi says she must be dreaming. Nick asks if she’s dreaming of having her beloved husband back. Gabi guesses this is because she told Jake about him. Nick says he was her first love and husband. Gabi argues that he doesn’t matter and she never thinks about him or says his name. Nick asks if he doesn’t haunt her dreams. Gabi insists that she’s dreaming and just has to wake up. Nick informs her that this isn’t a dream, but her worst nightmare.

Rafe calls Eli and informs him that he has a possible homicide on his hands so he needs Eli and the forensics team on it right away. Eli asks where the body is. Rafe responds that it’s on his kitchen floor.

Tripp meets Ava outside the Brady Pub and asks what’s going on. Ava says he won’t believe her. Tripp tells her to just tell him. Ava responds that she saw his brother. Tripp tells her that she knows Charlie is dead. Ava insists that she saw him and he came for her. Tripp tells her to calm down. Ava repeats that she’s not crazy as Charlie found her at Rafe’s house and killed someone right in front of her.

Allie tries to shut the door on Zombie Charlie but he forces his way in and locks the door, saying she’s not getting rid of him that easily this time.

Ava tells Tripp that he has to believe her. Tripp repeats that Charlie is dead. Ava insists that Charlie is alive or maybe not alive, but he’s back and found her at Rafe’s house. Tripp assures her it’s not possible. Ava repeats that she saw Charlie kill a man. Tripp asks what she’s talking about. Ava claims not to know who the man was but that Charlie stabbed and killed him. Tripp argues that this isn’t making sense and asks if Rafe knows the man. Ava says Rafe wasn’t there, so he didn’t see anything, but she was so scared because after Charlie stabbed the man, he said he was undead and then talked about the night he died and that she didn’t mean that she loved him. Tripp wants to go to the hospital but Ava insists that she’s not crazy and that Charlie said she’d never love him because he’s not Tripp. Ava adds that Charlie grabbed another knife and said he was going to kill her. Ava says he was so calm that she knew he meant it, so she pushed him and ran which is when she called him. Ava tells Tripp that they have to run away because Charlie is going to kill both of them.

Allie tells Charlie that this is sick and insists that Charlie is dead. Charlie says he had to come see her again. Allie asks why he’s doing this to her. Charlie insists that he’s not wearing a mask and talks about how much he hates her. Allie repeats that he’s dead. Charlie says you can’t keep a good man down. Charlie decides that he will identify as undead now. Allie tells him to go away. Charlie says that’s not going to happen and reveals he’s here on a mission. Charlie thinks she knows why he’s here. Charlie declares that he came for his son.

Gabi argues that it can’t be Nick because she killed him. Nick asks which time she’s talking about. Gabi flashes back to when she bashed Nick’s head in with a rock as he almost raped her. Nick goes over how Gabi, Sami, and Kate tossed him in the river, only he wasn’t dead and he came back just like he’s back now.

Deimos remarks that Nicole looks lovely as always and says he’ll never forget how radiant she was in red on the night that she killed him. Nicole asks if Dr. Rolf brought him back. Deimos says the one who brought him back is a hell of a lot more powerful than Dr. Rolf and quite a bit more evil. Nicole asks who but Deimos says that information is classified and he may have said too much already. Deimos adds that Nicole always had a way of getting him to open up and drop his guard. Deimos reminds her of how much he opened up his soul to her. Nicole argues that he didn’t have one. Deimos says he’s often thought that it was really ironic that the woman he wanted to spend his life with, ended his life in cold blood with no remorse, and that didn’t sit well with him so he came to tell her that he still holds a grudge. Nicole argues that she did not murder him in cold blood. Deimos says he was there and totally defenseless when she stabbed him in the heart as she flashes back to that night. Deimos asks if she’s remembering how she plunged the knife in to his chest. Deimos says he was an innocent unarmed man. Nicole argues that he broke laws to take her daughter and used her to get what he wanted. Nicole says she didn’t murder him but put him down like a rabid dog. Deimos argues that she played God and thought she got away with it but it’s over because now she’s face to face with the man that knows she’s a murdering whore and that she was never even charged or punished for what she did. Deimos declares that all ends tonight and guarantees that the punishment is going to fit the crime.

Eli goes to Rafe with the forensics team. Rafe informs Eli that the victim is Carmine Melino, the guy that shot Abe. Eli asks if they know who killed him. Rafe says he just came home and found him dead on his kitchen floor. Rafe thinks back to Gabi telling him to talk to Ava for answers about Carmine. Eli notices Rafe’s look and guesses he knows something. Rafe admits that he does.

Ava tells Tripp that they have to get out of Salem, because Charlie won’t stop until he gets both of them. Tripp insists that Charlie is dead. Ava repeats that Charlie is back and she saw him. Tripp tells her to calm down and says this is just like when Charlie drugged her and she thought she saw Charlie kill him. Ava insists that she wasn’t drugged tonight. Tripp feels it doesn’t matter as she could have hallucinations for years to come because the drugs stay in for a long time. Ava remembers her delusions back then but tells him that tonight was real and she could touch Charlie. Ava starts to worry about Allie and says they need to call Allie to warn her and tell her to grab Henry and run.

Allie tells Charlie that he’s not Henry’s father. Charlie argues that she can’t accuse him of rape and then say Henry is not his. Allie complains that he doesn’t even know Henry. Charlie blames Allie for telling everyone that he was a rapist, so everyone wanted him dead, and he died without knowing who his son was, but now he’s back and she can’t stop him. Charlie says she did everything she could to take Henry away from him so now he’s going to take him away from her. Charlie yells at her to get the hell out of his way as he storms to Henry’s bedroom.

Julie leaves Julie’s Place and is startled when she runs in to Kate as she turns the corner. Julie doesn’t know if Kate was coming by for a late night snack but they are closed. Kate says she actually came to see her which Julie questions. Kate says she was going to call but felt she wouldn’t pick up when she saw it was her, but she wanted to invite Julie to Thanksgiving. Julie jokes about what she would bring. Kate was pretty sure she wouldn’t accept so it was a painless way to extend herself. Kate tells Julie that she’s genuinely sorry for Doug’s situation. Julie thanks her but is sure she didn’t come just to say that. Kate informs her that she came to tell Julie that her cousin, Nick Fallon, is back from the dead.

Nick laughs at Gabi jumping out of her skin when he showed up alive at the church. Nick mocks Gabi and Will having their kid baptized when Gabi is a murderer and Will is gay. Gabi argues that the world is better without him. Nick remarks that she made sure she killed him the second time around. Gabi complains that he was trying to take her and Arianna away from everyone they loved. Nick calls it pre-meditated murder and flashes back to Gabi confessing to the police. Gabi cries that she served her time and paid her debt to society. Nick doesn’t care about society and says he’s talking about her debt to him because she shot him three times and got off on a technicality. Gabi argues that she paid in prison and then when she got out, Julie made sure she kept paying for the rest of her life. Nick says it’s not nearly enough. Nick tells Gabi that he survived the second time she murdered him too and now he’s back to make her pay. Nick remarks that the third time’s the charm.

Allie tries to escape while Charlie comes back out and calls her a bitch, saying she knew that Henry wasn’t in his room. Charlie grabs Allie’s phone from her and says the fun and games are over. Charlie demands she tell him where his son is.

Tripp tells Ava that it’s okay as Henry is in the Pub with Roman and Lucas. Ava wants him to call Allie. Tripp doesn’t want to scare her for no reason and insists that Charlie is dead so he can’t hurt her anymore. Ava repeats that she saw him. Tripp feels she just thought she saw him. Tripp wants to take her home, but Ava says she’s not going home because there is a dead body there. Tripp promises there’s not and says he will go with her to prove it.

Rafe tells Eli that what he needs to know is that there’s a possibility that Ava is involved in this. Rafe says they will know more when they get the time of death, but he thinks they will find that Gabi was with Jake at the police station when Carmine was murdered and that Ava was the only one home. Rafe adds that when Ava was running the Vitali crime family, Carmine worked for her. Eli asks if he thinks Carmine came to see her. Rafe assures it wasn’t to see him so he guesses that Carmine knew Jake was in custody, so he came to see Ava. Rafe adds that Gabi also thinks Ava is the one who helped Carmine get away after he shot Abe. Eli tells Rafe to hand over this case to him. Rafe says he’s just going off what Gabi said to him and it wouldn’t be the first time that she fed him a load of crap. Rafe points out that Ava said she was out of the mob, so she could be jerking him around too. Eli reminds Rafe that he will have to make a statement. Rafe then gets a call and informs Eli that Jake DiMera has escaped lockup. Rafe wonders what Gabi has done this time.

Gabi asks if Nick is going to kill her. Nick says that would be too easy as he decided if he ever had the opportunity, he’d want her to suffer so he has decided to kill her boyfriend, Jake. Nick calls Jake a loser and laughs at Gabi. Gabi argues that Jake’s never done anything to him. Nick calls it collateral damage because Gabi would live the rest of her life, knowing Jake’s blood is on her hands. Gabi begs Nick not to kill Jake. Nick asks her what if it’s already too late.

Nicole grabs a pair of scissors and tells Deimos not to come closer. Deimos asks if she’s going to kill him again. Deimos tells her to go ahead and do her worst. Nicole then stabs Deimos with the scissors. Deimos calls her a bitch and begins choking her, but he is weakened and collapses from being stabbed.

Rafe explains to Eli that when Jake and the cop didn’t show up to his cell, they searched and found the cop knocked out cold while Jake is nowhere to be found. Eli calls it a stupid ass thing for Jake to do. Rafe says that’s if it was Jake. Eli questions Rafe not thinking it was him. Rafe argues that it doesn’t make sense since Jake was cooperating and gave a full confession and seemed guilty that his gun was used to shoot Abe. Rafe adds that he told Jake to be patient and that things would sort themselves out so he seemed to agree. Eli questions Gabi. Rafe notes that he told Gabi to be patient, as if that would ever work. Eli wonders if Gabi would take matters in to her own hands. Rafe declares he’s about to find out.

Julie asks what Kate means by saying Nick is back from the dead. Kate responds that two trick or treaters from the Pub said they saw Nick tonight. Julie argues that they probably just saw another trick or treater dressed like Nick. Kate laughs off the idea of Nick Fallon Halloween costumes and calls him a psycho killer which upsets Julie. Julie tells Kate that instead of being hurtful and nasty, she can try showing a little empathy for a young man who had a difficult life and was traumatized by prison. Kate remarks that Nick then set out to traumatize Gabi in the exact same way. Julie responds that Gabi got her revenge by shooting Nick three times. Julie says Kate may not remember but Nick died in her arms. Kate says that’s allegedly.

Gabi questions what Nick means by saying it’s too late. Nick informs her that after he rose up from his grave, he went to the police station to find Jake. Gabi asks how he knew Jake was there. Nick says she’s getting caught up in the details and asks if she wants to know what he did. Gabi asks what happened. Nick tells her that Jake was being escorted to his cell, so he intercepted him, and it was done quickly. Gabi questions if he already killed Jake.

Allie refuses to ever tell Charlie where Henry is and says he’ll never be in the same room as her son agan. Charlie shouts that he’s his son. Allie says not in any way that matters. Charlie asks if Tripp is the father then and mocks her. Allie blames Charlie for screwing her up but says everyone knows what he did and no one attended his funeral.

Carmine’s body is stretchered out of Rafe’s home in a bodybag as Ava comes home with Tripp. Ava tells Tripp that she told him there was a dead body. Tripp apologizes for not believing her as they see Eli inside. Tripp asks Eli what happened. Eli responds that there’s been a homicide. Tripp asks who it was. Eli informs him that it was Carmine, the man who shot Abe. Eli tells Ava that he’s sorry but he has to take her to the police station for questioning.

Nicole checks Deimos’ body to confirm he is dead again and then decides she needs to call Rafe, so she goes to get her phone.

Allie brings up how Charlie is always whining that his mom loved Tripp best. Charlie tells her to stop it. Allie continues but Charlie screams at her to stop talking about Tripp. Allie says Tripp is everything a mother wants while Charlie is a loser. Charlie grabs her and screams at her to shut up.

Tripp asks why Eli needs to question Ava. Eli explains that Carmine is a former associate of Ava’s, who worked for her when she was in charge of the Vitali Mob. Tripp begins to question Ava. Ava insists that she didn’t kill Carmine and that it was her son Charlie. Eli reminds her that Charlie is dead. Ava responds that she needs to talk to Rafe.

Rafe goes to the police station and questions a cop about Gabi and Jake, who says he saw Gabi say goodbye to Jake. Rafe asks if he actually saw her leave. He confirms that she wasn’t there when they brought Jake out of the interrogation room. The cop says the other officer took Jake away in handcuffs. Rafe questions how Jake knocked him out and where he went. Rafe adds that Gabi isn’t answering his calls and wonders what the hell is going on.

Gabi asks if Nick killed Jake. Nick responds that he has an empty grave so he might as well put it to good use.

Julie questions where Kate gets her good news, reminding her that she was holding Nick as his life drained out of him. Kate says that must have been terribly painful for her. Kate agrees that it’s probably not true that Nick has been restored to life, but notes that he has cheated death before. Julie blames her, Gabi, and Sami for trying to drown him in the river. Kate admits he managed to crawl back out of the water but she thinks it’s highly unlikely that he managed to crawl out of the grave after being shot three times. Kate then points out that she did manage to do that, so maybe Nick pulled off the same trick. Kate says she has to get going and wishes Julie a happy Halloween as she walks away.

Gabi questions Nick burying Jake and asks if he’s dead or alive. Nick suggests asking Jake. Gabi then runs off while Nick remarks that he hopes she’s not too late.

Rafe answers Nicole’s call and says it’s not a good time. Nicole tells Rafe that she needs him now as she’s in her office and it’s an emergency.

Eli informs Ava that Rafe is at the police station so she can talk to him there. Tripp decides if she’s going to the station, he’s coming with her. Ava tells him no and that he has to go find Charlie if the police aren’t going to. Ava reminds Tripp that she told him there was a dead body here and there was. Ava insists that Charlie was there and says she has an awful feeling about Allie. Tripp doesn’t want to leave Ava alone. Ava urges him to just go check and prove her wrong. Ava points out that he won’t lose anything by checking because if he doesn’t and something happens to Allie then he will regret it for the rest of his life.

Charlie complains that Allie thinks she’s so smart and that she thought if she talked about Tripp, it would make him forget about Henry, but she’s not smart and he saw right through it. Charlie asks her one more time where his son is. Allie respond that she will never tell him where he is. Charlie sees that nothing he can do will get her to tell him, so he’ll just have to find him on his own. Allie says he’s not here. Charlie asks if she’s trying to send him away and then call the police as soon as he leaves. Charlie declares that he can’t let that happen so he’s going to have to kill her.

Gabi rushes to the grave to begin trying to uncover the dirt from Jake.

Rafe goes to the Basic Black office to see Nicole and says it better be good. Nicole informs Rafe that Deimos was here and he came back to get her, so she killed him by stabbing him with a pair of scissors. Rafe tells her that Deimos Kiriakis is dead. Nicole responds that he is inside, dead on the floor with a pair of scissors in his chest, so he can go look for himself. Rafe then opens the door and tells Nicole that she needs to come in. Nicole enters the office and sees nothing but a pair of scissors on the floor and no Deimos, leaving Nicole shocked.

Eli brings Ava to the interrogation room and handcuffs her to the table. Ava insists to Eli that Charlie came back, killed Carmine, and was then going to kill her. Eli suggests she needs a doctor. Ava begs him to send someone to help Tripp and swears to God that she’s telling the truth.

Tripp bursts in to Nicole and Allie’s apartment to find Charlie holding Allie hostage. Tripp orders Charlie to get the hell away from her.

Jack: Well, great minds think alike.

Nikki: Well, hell.

Jack: I’m glad I ran into you.

Nikki: Oh, yeah?

Jack: Well, I’ve been looking for a chance to tell you how impressed I was with the job you did organizing victoria and ashland’s wedding.

Nikki: Thank you so much, jack. I was just relieved that everything went smoothly.

Jack: You made it look effortless. No small feat. I have some idea of how much planning goes into that, and, wow, it was worth it. A delight, beginning to end.

Nikki: Well, I wanted to do it for them. They’ll always have those memories.

Jack: And those memories are important, especially given the special challenge those two are facing.

Nikki: Yes. I am grateful that victoria was able to convince ashland to fight his cancer. I know how difficult the treatment has been.

Jack: Well, we’re all praying those treatments are effective. I saw in italy the reunion between ashland and harrison, and it brought home just how close those two are. It’s a lot for my grandson to understand and accept if things don’t go as we hoped.

Nikki: Oh, god, I hate to think what that would do to victoria. I have to admit, I had reservations about this pairing in the beginning.

Jack: Given the groom’s well-deserved reputation as a ruthless businessman? Yeah, I got to see a little bit of that when he came after jabot.

Nikki: Well, he seems completely devoted to victoria, and that’s something that has been lacking in her life.

Jack: But you’re still worried about the heartache she could be facing.

Nikki: She’s a realist. She knows loss is a possibility.

Jack: Well, I respect that courage. Nothing is more important than the time we spend with those we love, even if that time is fleeting. She seems to have internalized that. I mean, she doesn’t seem to have any regrets.

Nikki: I haven’t heard any, but…

Jack: But as a devoted mother, you can’t help worrying.

Nikki: Well, it’s one thing to take those vows — “in sickness and in health” — but it’s quite another to navigate a possibly fatal disease. With all the whirl of the wedding prep and finalizing the merger, I don’t know that victoria has had time to sit down and really think about what could happen. But it’s gonna hit her eventually, and honestly, I’m dreading it.

Victor: Do you think that is chance’s ring?

Abby: [ Gasps ]

Victor: Sweetheart.

Abby: [ Sobbing ]

Victor: It’s okay, my love. It’s okay.

Adam: Hi, there. Was it something that I said?

Sally: I’m just trying to determine which one of your multiple personalities I’m dealing with. It’s a little guessing game i play with myself.

Adam: Oh. I see.

Sally: ‘Cause sometimes I’m almost certain that I’ve run into friendly, funny, down-to-earth adam, and then, no, he turns out to be

[Clears throat] Officious adam, busy ceo and all-around important guy with no time to waste on a lowly peon like me.

Adam: [ Sighs ] I was — I was too abrupt with you yesterday. Although I did apologize, or try to.

Sally: Ah, yes, mea culpa adam. An intriguing new addition to the cast of characters.

Adam: How many are there?

Sally: It’s an ever-changing landscapE.

Adam: Wow. You know, that, it sounds kind of fascinating.

Sally: Fortunately, there is a fool-proof way to settle this. I will just invite to join me for lunch and see which adam fields the request.

Adam: I’d love to have lunch with you, but I’m booked today. I am actually here for a meeting.

Sally: Damn. I knew it. Now I owe myself 20 bucks.

Adam: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: You’re hesitating. Why? It’s a simple question. Are we in this together or not?

Phyllis: No, I’m just thrown that you even have to ask me that. Of course I’m in this with you. Why do you think I’m working so hard? I mean, it doesn’t feel good now, but it will turn out good. I know that.

Nick: Agreed.

Phyllis: Can we table this? I…I’m still sort of hung over from last night. I’m not at my best.

Nick: Yeah, to be continued.

Phyllis: Thank you.

Nick: Well, I bet our brunch is cold. How about if I take you out to lunch?

Phyllis: Thank you. Um, I’M…

[ Sighs ]

Adam: I really hope you’re not taking it personally that i have a business meeting.

Sally: No. I am not that girl. Like I told you, this is just a game to me. I’m going for best three out of five.

Adam: [ Sighs ]

Sally: No, wait. This might’ve been my third rejection — not that I’m keeping track.

Adam: Oh, no. Of course not, because we made a mutual agreement to keep things strictly professional between us.

Sally: Yes, and in retrospect, I’m so glad we did that. That way, I don’t get saddled with your chronic mood swings.

Adam: Okay, well, you are now making me wish my schedule was clear because you would be a much more entertaining lunch date than the person I’m meeting with.

Sally: Well, you could always bail. You know, things do come up.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Sadly, I’m afraid I can’t this time.

Sally: Mm. My, must be vip.

Adam: Something like that.

Sally: Anyone I know? What if we play 20 questions? What do I win if I guess it right?

Adam: It’s no one you’ve met.

Sally: Is he bigger than a bread box?

Adam: Well, he — or she — will be here soon, so enjoy your day.

Sally: Wow, smooth. You’re really good at this. All sounds so mysterious. Makes me wonder if it has something to do with that missing man, the one that billy was talking about. What was his name again, hanes? No, oh, gaines. Oops. Guess I wasn’t supposed to bring his name up anymore.

Nikki: Well, this has been such a great break, but I really need to get back to the office.

Jack: You know what? I came here to get a sandwich to take it back to the office and sit at my desk and eat lunch. To heck with that. What do you say you and I have a proper lunch together?

Nikki: I’d love to.

Jack: Fantastic. You pick the place. Though I hear there’s a great little moroccan place that just opened over on chestnut.

Nikki: Alright, now, wait a minute. You didn’t give me a chance to say “but.” I have a full inbox I have to get back to.

Jack: Oh, that will keep, i promise you.

Nikki: Jack.

Jack: Hey, we have just pulled off — you and I — one of the most satisfying feats in all of parenthood — launching our children off into fulfilling marriages with people they love and cherish.

Nikki: [ Laughs ] Well, I don’t know if we can take credit for that.

Jack: Yeah, maybe not, but we could use this opportunity to celebrate our great good fortune.

Nikki: Well, you put it that way, it’s hard to refuse. So I won’T. I’d love to have lunch with you, jack.

Jack: Fantastic.

Nikki: [ Chuckles ] But society is closer to newman tower, so do you mind going there?

Jack: Society it is. Shall we?

Nikki: Okay.

Jack: Here, let me get your coat.

Nikki: Thank you.

Jack: And your coat is right here.

Nikki: Thank you, sir.

Jack: You bet. Follow you.

Victor: I know how difficult this is for you, my sweetheart. We’ll take care of you, okay?

Abby: [ Sniffles ] This doesn’t — this can’t be real. There’s got to be some sort of explanation. Chance — he can’t be gone.

Ashley: Hey.

Victor: Hi, sweetheart.

Ashley: What is it? Is something going on?

Victor: A wedding ring was discovered and recovered in the rubble. And christine gave it to abby.

Ashley: Oh, god, no.

Victor: Belongs to chance.

Ashley: But that’s not necessarily proof, is it? I mean, he could’ve taken it off. Did they find anything else?

Christine: I was informed that being a married man was part of chance’s cover story, so he never took it off.

Ashley: Has search and rescue found anything?

Christine: Ashley, given the force of the explosion, positive identification of any of the remains is just gonna take some time.

Ashley: Abby. Honey? Honey, I’m right here.

[ Dominic crying ]

Devon: It’s okay.

Abby: [ Sniffles ] Oh, dominic. Shh.

[ Sniffles ] It’s gonna be okay.

[ Sniffles ] Shh.

We gave new zzzquil pure zzzs restorative herbal sleep

Adam: I noticed you ordered your food to go. Hope that wasn’t on my account.

Sally: I had already planned on working through lunch. I am still getting inquiries about victoria’s wedding dress.

Adam: Well, I’m not surprised about that.

Sally: But this kind of response from the fashion press and retail buyers, not to mention the dozens of brides that somehow got my work e-mail and are now clamoring for a copy. It’s just far beyond anything i ever envisioned.

Adam: Well, it sounds incredibly gratifying.

Sally: It is. It’s like a big, flashing neon sign telling me that I was right not to give up on my creative endeavors.

Adam: Well, speaking for newman fashions, it’s a good thing that you didn’t because I’m really looking forward to seeing what you and chloe come up with next.

Sally: What about chelsea? When she comes back in town, is she still planning on coming on board? ‘Cause it would be really great to have another fashion genius in the house to kick around ideas.

Adam: Um, I don’t know when or if chelsea’s gonna be up to working again.

Sally: Should I not have mentioned anything?

Adam: No, it’s fine. I hope she comes back to genoa city and she’s ready to pick up her life again. Sooner the better, as far as I’m concerned, so we can move on and — and, um… well, the person that I’m meeting with has arrived, so…

Sally: And looks like my food is here, so have fun with your not-at-all mysterious meeting.

Adam: Thanks. I’ll catch you later.

Sally: Thank you.

Ashley: You guys, I think abby could use a little space.

Devon: Okay, how about I take dominic out for a walk, then, for a little bit?

Mariah: Fresh air, I’m in.

Ashley: That’s a great idea. It’s nice outside.

Abby: No, please —

Ashley: Abby, honey. Everybody loves that little boy so much. They’re gonna take such good care of him, okay? Just like your father and I are gonna take good care of you.

Devon: Hey, we’re not gonna be gone long, I promise you.

Abby: Okay, um, use an extra blanket.

Devon: Sure, of course.

Mariah: Of course. Try to rest, okay?

Abby: Yeah.

Victor: Can you stick around? I have some questions, okay?

Christine: Sure, of course.

Devon: Hey, would you mind grabbing the diaper bag?

Mariah: Uh, yeah, absolutely.

Devon: Come on.

Phyllis: A flaming gorilla? Ooh, I want that. They put rum on top and then they set it on fire. I want a drink that’s on fire. Hey, if you clench your jaw a little harder, we’re gonna need an emergency dentist. What’s adam up to?

Nick: It’s who he’s with.

Phyllis: Who is that guy?

Nick: That’s one of my dad’s most trusted private investigators. He’s been on his security team for, like, ever. You see the way they’re talking and their body language? They’re clearly scheming about something and they’re not even trying to hide it.

Phyllis: Mm. Mm-hmm.

Nick: What’s that? “Mm-hmm,” what is that?

Phyllis: It’s just “uh-huh.” You know what it is. Come on. I’m not gonna say anything. I’m not gonna do that, because we’ve just gone through it this morning. I’m not gonna continue a pattern, you know, when you ask me what’s going on, and I say something supportive about you, and then you misinterpret and then we get into it. Hey, I’m gonna change the pattern. That’s refreshing, right?

Nick: I don’t want you to feel like you’re on eggshells around me. I want you to feel free to speak your mind.

Phyllis: Oh, do you?

Nick: Yes.

Phyllis: Really, you do? Okay, alright. Well, remember you said that.

Nick: I’m serious. If you got something to say, then say it. I’m not gonna hold it against you. I would like your unvarnished opinion.

Phyllis: You want my unvarnished opinion. Okay. Remember that you said that. Who cares what’s going on over there? Who cares who adam is talking to and what they’re up to? Can you just let it go and put your attention on us? Can you do that? My hygienist cleans with a round head.

Phyllis: Okay, I see you don’t love my suggestion. No problem.

Nick: Alright, do you remember how annoyed you were with me when I kept telling you to back off sally and tara, but you ended up being right about them?

Phyllis: Not even the same. I was trying to protect our daughter is what I was doing. What are you protecting? I mean, who cares what your dad and adam are plotting? Who cares?

Nick: [ Sighs ] Well, that’s not the way I look at it.

Phyllis: You know what? For once, you know what I would love? That you protect yourself. You protect yourself and just take yourself out of this situation. That’s all. I mean, that’s the advice I gave you in italy, and you didn’t take it then. I don’t really expect you to take it now, but you asked how i felt, and so I’m telling you. That’s all. Who cares about your dad and adam? Let them deal with the consequences of their shady dealings.

Nick: Do you know how many times I’ve tried that? More times than I can count. Ultimately, things always get blown up into this massive crisis, and then I get sucked right back in ’cause I got to protect the people I love, which is my sisters and my mother and my children. So don’t you think it’s best if I do everything I can to avert the mess that is brewing rather than wait for the other shoe to drop?

Phyllis: No. I think that you would be better if you only intermittently obsess with your family. That’s all. I’d be happy if, between disasters, you put more attention on our relationship. That’s all.

Nick: You know what? Let’s, uh… let’s get out of here. There’s lots of other places in town to eat lunch.

Phyllis: Seriously?

Nick: Yeah. I promised you a, you know, a nice time where we’re not worrying about everything that’s going on with us. That’s not gonna happen here because of adam. So let’s go.

Phyllis: Alright.

Jack: Hey!

Nikki: Hi.

Jack: Having lunch at the bar today?

Nikki: [ Chuckles ]

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: Yeah. I mean, we were, but we’re gonna change venues. Adam’s here, and I don’t really want to stick around, so…

Nikki: Oh, well, I hope you’ll reconsider. Jack and I are just grabbing a bite. Why don’t you join us, as long as jack doesn’t mind?

Jack: Not in the least.

Phyllis: Is that a singular “you” or a plural “you”?

Nikki: Uh…oh, “will you have lunch?” Plural, of course. Why?

Phyllis: Okay. I just — I didn’t know because our history, that’s all.

Nikki: Well, we got along very well in italy. And I must admit, I do have an ulterior motive.

Phyllis: Of course.

Nikki: Well, I’m hoping to convince my son to settle his differences with victoria, and i think I’ll have a better shot at it if I have your support.

Phyllis: Oh, yes, definitely. A double-team.

Nick: Look, I appreciate the offer, but phyllis and I need to talk about some stuff and —

Phyllis: You know what? I would love it if you made peace with your sister. Really, so thank you for the invitation. We’ll accept.

Christine: Well, I’m afraid that’s really all the information I have at this point.

Victor: [ Exhales sharply ] When do you anticipate getting an official notification?

Christine: Days, maybe longer. It just depends on the recovery effort. In the meantime, I’ll keep working my contacts in D.C.

Victor: Please keep me updated.

Christine: Absolutely.

Victor: Okay.

Christine: I trust you’ll do the same.

Victor: You can count on it, okay?

Christine: Thank you.

Victor: By the way, are you gonna contact nina?

Christine: Uh…yeah. It’s gonna be rough. You know, chance — chance was the light of her life.

Victor: I know. I know. You know, um…he was a hell of a guy. I was proud to call him my son-in-law.

Christine: Again, victor, I’m so sorry for your loss, and if there’s anything more I can do, please don’t hesitate to call.

Victor: You do the same, okay? Take care.

Christine: Yeah, thank you.

Victor: I’ll get the door.

Ashley: Do you want to lie down? I can go upstairs and I can lie down with you and hold you like I used to do when you were a little girl.

Abby: [ Sniffles ]

Ashley: Everybody’s gone and it’s just your dad and I here, so if you need anything or want anything, and you know what, abby? You don’t have to rein it in. If you want to scream at the top of your lungs, if you want to stand up and if you want to just tear this entire room apart, you can do whatever you want. Please just tell us what you need, honey.

Abby: I need chance. I need my husband. People everywhere living with type 2 diabetes

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Abby: No. No, if… if were chance were gone, i would… I would know it. I would feel it. I would feel something.

[ Sighs ] Oh, my god.

Ashley: What?

Abby: Nina — does she know?

Victor: Christine is probably talking to her as we speak.

Abby: She’s gonna be heartbrokeN. I mean, she loves him so much. He’s — he’s her baby. Same way I feel about dominic.

Ashley: She’s our family now, honey. We’ll make sure she knows she doesn’t have to go through this alone, okay?

[ Doorbell rings ]

Abby: Oh, god.

Victor: I’ll get it. I’ll get it.

Abby: I don’t want to see anyone.

Victor: I’ll get it.

Abby: Oh, my god.

Victor: Sharon.

Sharon: Mariah texted me chance may have been killed.

Victor: Come in.

[ Sighs ] There was an explosion at the safe house where chance was doing his undercover work in spain.

Sharon: A bomb?

Victor: Yeah. Place was blown to smithereens. The only things left over were some personal effects.

Sharon: I’m so sorry.

Ashley: Hi.

Victor: Sharon came to offer some comfort to abby, okay?

Ashley: Oh, that’s very kind of you. Um…abby’s in shock. I’m not even sure if anything we’re saying is registering with her.

Sharon: I understand. Trauma like this can be very disorienting.

Victor: I know sharon offered some enormous support to victoria after she had been attacked.

Ashley: I’m not sure how receptive she’ll be. I mean, she did say she wanted to be alone, but you’re more than welcome to make the attempt.

Sharon: I’ll try my best.

Victor: Okay.

Ashley: Thank you.

Mariah: Abby was such a wreck when we left. I really hope my mom can help her somehoW.

Tessa: It was an inspired move sending sharon over there, and hopefully she knows exactly what to say.

Mariah: I was at a loss.

Devon: Yeah, we all were.

Mariah: Abby and chance were so in love. I mean, they had so many plans for the life they wanted to live together, and then, what, it’s just — it’s gone in an instant?

Tessa: I can’t even imagine what that’s like. I mean, your whole world just crashing down on you and… devon, oh, my god, I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to be insensitive. I mean, you know exactly what abby’s going through right now.

Devon: You’re fine, tessa. You’re not insensitive at all. It’s fine. You’re absolutely right that i do know, and it’s a feeling that I wouldn’t wish on anyonE.

Phyllis: The stew looks great. I like to try new things.

Jack: Yeah, there are a few new things on here, kind of a cuban-french fusion.

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ] Yeah.

Nikki: I wonder what’s going on over there.

Phyllis: Nick was curious, too.

Jack: Okay, I’m feeling a little left out here. Who is that guy?

Nick: It’s a pi that dad has on retainer. They are no doubt talking about jesse gaines and his current whereabouts.

Jack: Okay, that name doesn’t ring any bells.

Nikki: It’s just someone ashland used to know.

Nick: It’s someone that despises ashland. He showed up in italy to disrupt the wedding, but I ran into him first, locked him in a room in the palazzo until the wedding was over.

Jack: Okay, I was at this wedding. I had no idea what was going on behind the scenes. No wonder you were so relieved that the ceremony went off without a hitch.

Nikki: I didn’t know anything about it at the time either. In fact, I know very little now, and that suits me fine.

Nick: It’s a well-kept secret what happened to jesse gaines. I mean, no one has seen him in days. Dad had adam take care of him somehow.

Jack: When you say “take care of him”…

Phyllis: Well, no one knows what that really means, but…

Nikki: It’s nothing drastic.

Nick: Well, I thought you said you didn’t know what went down, mom.

Nikki: Your father happened to find some compromising information about him and used it to convince him to leave ashland alone.

Jack: Classic victor. I would expect nothing less of him.

Phyllis: Yeah, let’s just be glad it wasn’t anything worse.

Jack: Yeah, this is only slightly illegal.

Phyllis: Right, what’s a little blackmail between friends, right? You should be glad, jack, that you had nothing to do with it. Trust me, trust me, you’re better off.

Nick: Alright, you made your point. Let’s drop it. On the outside, I looked fine.

Nikki: Meeting adjourned.

Phyllis: Evidently.

Jack: So I’ve been playing this game online with harrison, you know, just to stay in touch. Kid is so clever. He’s been finding it easier and easier to beat me.

Nikki: Hmm. Why don’t you teach him to play chess?

Jack: I think he’s a little young for that. You guys are both gaming experts. Any recommendations?

Nick: Uh, the game that you’ve been playing with christian, with the racing cars and the animals are drivers. What’s that called?

Phyllis: I don’t know. You know, I’ll go on the internet and do some research, see if something jogs my memory.

Jack: Thanks. I appreciate that.

Phyllis: Sure. Oh, here’s a text from my assistant manager. I have to go. There’s an emergency. This has been lovely. Thank you.

Nikki: Oh. You’re welcome.

Nick: You want me to box up any of the lunch and bring it to you?

Phyllis: I’ll put that in your capable hands.

[ Clears throat ] Excuse me.

Nikki: Is everything okay between the two of you?

Nick: We’re fine.

Jack: You know what? I’m gonna get in touch with my assistant, as well. Got to push back a meeting. I’ll be right back.

Nikki: Okay. Darling, I don’t mean to pry, but it seems like things between you and phyllis are very tense.

Nick: Let’s get back to jesse gaines.

Nikki: Ugh, must we?

Nick: Yeah, I think it’d be a real mistake to look the other way this time, mom.

Nikki: It’s behind us, darling.

Nick: Really? Why would adam be talking to one of dad’s investigators?

Nikki: I don’t know. Why don’t you ask your brother?

Nick: I’m asking you. Dad and adam are keeping on the outside on this, but I know you can find out what’s going on.

Nikki: I would really rather stay out of it.

Nick: You know what that means, don’t you? You’re leaving victoria’s future and wellbeing in the hands of dad and adam. And given adam’s history, are you sure you’re comfortable with that?

Devon: You know how people always talk about grief as if it’s just one emotion? But you guys know that it’s so much more than that. It’s denial. It’s rage, loneliness, despair. The only way that I survived it was by having my family and my friends around me, and then eventually elena to help me, you know, get on track.

Tessa: Well, I’m thankful you did and that you’re happy again. And we just need to keep the faith, and eventually abby will get there, too, one day.

Devon: Yeah, I know she will. It’s just not gonna be easy for her.

Mariah: For dominic either. We saw the way that everything that’s happening has affected him. And abby’s emotions affect him.

Devon: That’s very true.

Mariah: I just have to wonder what kind of impact all of this stress is gonna have on him.

Sharon: Mariah told me the terrible news. Abby, I’m so sorry you have to go through this. And I’m here to listen, if you think it would help to talk.

Abby: I can’t right now yet.

Sharon: Okay, that’s okay. There are no rules. I’ll follow your lead. We can just sit here together, if you’d like.

Abby: Look, sharon, i understand that you are trying to help. But if I open that door, I… I might start screaming and never stop.

Sharon: Hey, you know what? In a situation like this, that’s a very normal fear.

Abby: Look, I have a baby to take care of. Chance is counting on me. Okay? I can’t fall apart. I can’t fall apart.

Sharon: Abby, I don’t see that happening. You’re not gonna fall apart. You might be tired and you need some rest. A shock to the system like this can be very hard on a person physically. But you’ve done it before. You made it through. You’ve suffered some really horrible losses and you survived — brad, colleen.

Abby: My baby girl.

Sharon: I know the kind of strength that it must have taken to carry on after that.

Abby: Chance helped me through that. He convinced me to have hope. He said that [Sniffles] I could be a mother and that we would have a long, happy life together. Why is this happening? Why?

[ Sniffles ]

[ Exhales sharply ] Why give your family just ordinary eggs

Devon: You’re right that abby is definitely gonna need help taking care of dominic while she’s recovering from all this, but she’s gonna have the help.

Tessa: Yeah, dominic’s nanny, ashley.

Devon: Exactly. And you know what? Honestly, I’m hoping that dominic becomes her source of comfort and her reason to get out of bed every day.

Mariah: Maybe. But we just don’t know yet. People react to trauma and grief in different ways.

Tessa: Well, I mean, that’s another reason why having sharon over there is really a good idea. She can keep her eyes open and let us know if there’s any cause for concern.

Devon: Mm-hmm.

Abby: I hate that I can’t control my emotions.

Sharon: Hey. Honestly, it’s fine.

Abby: It happened earlier. When christine brought me chance’s wedding ring, I just — I lost it in front of everyone, including the baby. I just… I kept thinking about my husband in that explosion. Terrified and suffering. And I felt like I was falling, like I couldn’t find solid ground.

Sharon: As scary as that must have felt, that’s actually a really normal reaction to trauma.

Abby: How am I gonna go on without my husband? My son is never gonna get to meet his father. How am I gonna face that? I am so afraid.

Ashley: What are you doing?

Victor: We just need to help our daughter, sweetheart. Get her all the support we can.

Sally: How was your meeting?

Adam: Um…tedious.

Sally: Really?

Adam: How was your lunch?

Sally: Productive. And…well… you know what? Maybe I will just show you. Somehow the national inquisitor got some photos of us from tuscany insinuating that you and I are a thing.

Adam: Um…well, I’d say the only real surprise is it took them that long to get around to it.

Sally: Well, I just figured I’d give you a head’s up in case anybody saw it and expected you to comment.

Adam: Everything is…

[ Cellphone rings ] …Fine. It’s chelsea. That was fast.

Sally: Good luck.

Nikki: I hope you didn’t take it seriously before, what nicholas and phyllis were implying.

Jack: You mean about this gaines fellow?

Nikki: I mean, obviously, no harm could’ve come to him. They were just being overly dramatic.

Jack: Yeah, I feel for nicholas these days. Clearly under a lot of pressure. He’s not getting along with victoria or adam or victor.

Nikki: Or phyllis, apparently. How much do you know about the tension between them?

Jack: Maybe the less said, the better. They’ve hit a bump in the road. They’ll figure it out.

Nick: Problem solved?

Phyllis: Yeah.

[ Sighs ]

Nick: I wish you hadn’t left. Now I still owe you lunch.

Phyllis: You don’t owe me anything. It’s fine. I knew what I signed up for. I knew your family history. It didn’t matter to me because i love you and the whole thing is worth it. It was worth it.

Nick: You’re right, it was.

Phyllis: Who are we kidding? This isn’t gonna work.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 

romance and then here in my restaurant today. And then I had what seems like a million hotel distractions to deal with. But now, you — you, my amazing husband, you get my undivided attention. Uh, there’s a call I think you should know about. Okay, a call from who? Cyrus renault. He wants me to visit him in prison. Hey, sonny, carly. Hey. Oh, hey. I cannot believe you are alive. Good to see you. Great to see you. So, you guys just got back? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we just, uh, got back last night. Oh, you were… traveling together?

[ Sighs ] Yes. Oh.

[ Sighs ] Thanks for doing this, spinelli. Oh, uh, your assistance with jason’s escape was greatly appreciated, so I’m happy to return the favor. Um, any success in sowing seeds of doubt in young spencer’s mind? I’m not sure. Spencer was noncommittal. If anything, he was defensive on his father’s behalf. Okay, w-well, I’ve — I’ve tracked nikolas to the pier, and I’m using a-a directional mic, so it should pick up any conversation there. Yeah. I just hope what I told spencer encourages him to talk to his dad and ask the big questions. Eureka. Spencer’s with his father now. Good. Okay. Why do you want to talk about hayden? She left port charles almost two years ago. And years before that, she was my stepmother. She was clueless about how to handle children, and that endeared her to me a great deal. There was a food fight, and hayden got caught in the crossfire. Why are you bringing that up? That’s ancient history. The bottom line is, is that I liked hayden a hell of a lot more than I like ava. And to this day, I still have no idea, after all these years, why anyone would want hayden dead. Well, if you wanted to get my attention, you’ve certainly gotten it. Can you get this bear out of my face? Oh, I thought it would make you smile, but have it your way. You said you had knowledge of something. I certainly do. And does this knowledge concern me? Only in the most important way. Austin, did — did you just say that gladys is heading to visit valentin? I sure did. Is that a problem for you, brook lynn? Brook lynn, what is going on? Is everything okay? No. What was that all about?

[ Obrecht grunts quietly ] Ohh.

[ Sighs ] Are you feeling better, liesl? I’ll feel better when you’re dead.

[ Panting ] You said a short swim. That was anything but short.

[ Panting ] Had to be done. So, this is it? It’s cassadine island. So I called back?Same state farm agent. Texted the next day? Same guy. Is that even legal? And get this – he remembered my name. Of course. Hey, blink twice if you’re in danger. Whoa, guys. At state farm, we actually get to know you. It’s called service. Come on!

try vicks vapocool drops.

In honey lemon chill.

throat relief. Wooo

vaporize sore throat pain

with vicks vapocool drops. You can hear both nikolas and spencer, right? Yeah, loud and clear. Wow. That mic’s really sensitive. I’m also recording everything. Well, good. Let’s hope nikolas admits to the crime. Come on, spencer. Trust your instincts like I told you. I know you were… fond of hayden. But as a reminder, she made her fair share of enemies along the way. The shooting, it — it was terrible. But fortunately, she made a full recovery. So you’re saying you’re glad she didn’t die. Of course. Even though our marriage fell apart, I’m still relieved hayden wasn’t killed. That’s all you have to say? That’s the story. That’s the story, but it isn’t the truth! Is it, father? I have no idea what’s upsetting brook lynn. I do know gladys has been more than problematic at work lately. Yeah, I heard you two talking about that. Ugh, I have never met anyone more entitled and less deserving than gladys corbin. Right. So, what’s her connection to valentin? I don’t know. Didn’t even know gladys knew valentin. It is very kind of you to stop by, but I am due in surgery shortly, so if you have something to say to me, then clarity is a virtue. Virtue.

[ Chuckles ] What a perfect choice of words. You really hit the nail on the head. I’m sorry. I’m not following you. I’m talking about your girlfriend and her lack of virtue. My girlfriend? Gladys, leave this poor man alone. He is scheduled for surgery. Yeah, he told me. And I’m not about to leave when I’m just getting to the good stuff. You know what? You will have to excuse gladys. She was just at the metro court knocking back manhattans like they’re water. She’s obviously drunk and clearly has a huge crush on you. I am not drunk. Exactly what a drunk person would say. Okay! Would you come — always so bossy, miss high-and-mighty. What gives you the right?

[ Door closes ]

[ Sighs ] Okay. Remember, there’s private guards all over this island. Oh, this has got to be the most uncomfortable thing I’ve ever worn. I mean, who invented these things? I’m sure it had to be a man. Your dry clothes are in here. Get changed. Aren’t you gonna turn around? I mean, it’s — it’s pretty dark. So tell me, what’s the last thing you remember? Being dragged from drew cain’s prison cell and thrown into mein own.

[ Grunts ] Then someone entered with a syringe.

[ Chuckles ] Yes, I was told you fought like a cornered bobcat. I’m glad you find this all so entertaining. After I was injected with whatever was in that syringe, the world went blank. But I remember quite clearly that you have activated drew cain’s conditioning. How like you to exploit your father’s genius. Well, I thought you despised my father. I’m confident cesar is burning in hell where he belongs. But no one can deny his brilliance. And now you’ve taken advantage of his work. Where’s drew cain? What have you done with him? Unfortunately, we never caught up to peter. But the wsb is on it. So, look, at the beginning of the trip, anna told us that drew was in fact alive, and he was being held in a compound on the island of crete. Drew’s alive? My god, you must be thrilled. There’s more to the story. Peter arranged for drew to be abducted. That whole plane crash over the gulf of aden, that never happened. That whole thing was staged. Where’s drew now? That’s the hard part. We have no idea. Well, anna saw peter shoot drew. Drew fell into the ocean and has not resurfaced. They’re looking for him, but they haven’t found him yet. Yeah, but drew has seal training, and he’s survived a lot, although there’s no proof that he’s alive. Yeah, there’s no proof that he isn’t alive, either. Alright. Listen. Jason and britt are in greece looking for her mother. Yes. You know that? We do know that. And we caught up to them, and we filled them in. So, they’re looking for obrecht, but if drew turns up, they can help him, too. The next time you say the swim is “very doable,” I’ll know exactly what you mean. What’s doable for you is not doable for the average person. It was the only way to get here and avoid being detected. We had no choice but to leave our speedboat as far away as possible. Yeah, but how do we get back to the boat?

[ Sighs ] I got it covered. Don’t get me wrong, I would swim the english channel if I knew it would lead me to my mother. What?

[ Guard speaking greek ]

Pampers so, you guys, um, took a lot longer than I expected. Well, yeah, you know, one thing kind of led to another, and, I mean, we started in monte carlo and ended up in crete. Yeah.

[ Carly chuckles ] We hated giving up the search after having gone so far and getting so close. But I had to get back to scout and danny, especially since jason and the wsb are down there searching for drew. If they come up with any sort of information, especially if drew is alive, I need to be here for scout to let her know that her father’s coming home. Yeah. Yeah. I had to come back for rocco, too. Yeah. Uh, you know, I took the liberty of — of visiting my grandson, and he misses his dad very much. Mm-hmm. Well, that’s good. Yeah, we spent the whole day today together. I did the same with my kids. Did you? Yes. And I’m really glad that you came back and made the decision to be in port charles. Now we’re gonna go debrief over dinner, yeah? Is that what you’re gonna call it? Yeah. “Debrief.” Hey, c-can I have a minute with my son, sam? Just — oh, yes, of course. Carly: I will show you to your table. Okay.

[ Sighs ] Look, I, uh… feel terrible. I haven’t seen you much since you, uh, got back from nixon falls. Yeah. Um… I mean, now that renault is in prison, I mean, you can have the freedom to focus on other investigations. Yeah, I mean, it’s definitely a lot quieter here. Port charles is about a thousand times better without renault in it.

[ Guard speaking greek ]

[ Sighs ] We need to find a better hiding place. But where? It’s not like we can check into a hotel. Okay, follow me. Stay low. There’s no need for you to trouble yourself about worrying where drew cain is. You have plenty of your own problems to worry about right now, liesl. Where are we? Cassadine island. But you’re not a cassadine. Where’s victor? Where is victor? You know, he and I had a parting of the ways. Truth this, I have no idea where he is or what happened to him. But the only thing you need to know is that he is no longer available to protect you. And if it’s any consolation, I’m sure wherever victor ended up, he’s still pining for his dear liesl. I don’t understand. Why did you take the trouble to have me drugged and transported here? Why not simply kill me and be done with it? Because of maxie. When you said your fight was brook lynn wasn’t over, what exactly did that mean? I — yeah, I think it’s pretty self-explanatory. Maxie, can i ask you a question? You know, you made a point of telling me that me chasing my shares at elq at the cost of my medical career, that that would be a real shame. More than a shame — it would have been a tragedy. Okay. So…

[ Chuckles ] Is this genuine concern, or are you just trying to help brook lynn in her manipulation to get me to give up my claim? What were you doing in valentin’s room? I was there to tell that poor, dear man, that you’re a lying schemer who’s passing off some other man’s baby as his. Why the hell would you do that? Valentin’s having surgery. He should know the truth before he dies. Oh, my god. No one is dying, gladys. Dial back the drama. I’m not the one trying to pass off somebody else’s kid as valentin’S. That trollop would be you. Yes. But have you really thought this plan of yours through? I mean, if you tell valentin the truth, then — then your blackmail is over, your meal ticket goes away, and, frankly, so does your job. So if you don’t keep my secret, then you have no leverage on me. What does that matter if maxie and sasha are gonna question every move I make? Did you know they made me go back to work after I told you I was taking a mental health day today? So this really is on you, brook lynn. Get your friends on board, or I’m telling valentin everything. Spencer, where are all these questions coming from? Shawn butler was wrongfully convicted for the attempted murder of my former stepmother.

Mr. Butler did six years

hard time in prison.

Now that I’ve been

in jail a night,

I know how awful

that is.

So if you knew he was innocent

the entire time

and you didn’t tell anyone,

just tell me, okay? Son, listen to me. What are you doing? Don’t!

[ Water splashes ] Are you wearing a wire? Huh? No! No! Isn’t that why you’re

questioning me?

To record me

saying something incriminating about hayden’s shooting? No, you’ve got it all wrong, father! I am here confronting you so that you can tell me that you didn’t try to have hayden killed!

When you have nausea,

heartburn, ingestion, upset stomach…

diarrheaaaa. Try pepto bismol with a powerful coating action.

For fast and soothing relief.

Pepto bismol for fast relief

when you need it most. Ever notice how stiff clothes can feel rough on your skin?

It’s because they rub against

you creating friction. And your clothes rub against you all day.

For softer clothes that are

gentle on your skin,

try downy free & gentle.

Just pour into the rinse

dispenser and downy will soften your clothes without dyes or perfumes. The towel washed with downy is softer, fluffier,

and gentler on your skin.

Try downy free & gentle.

psoriasis foundation and national eczema association.

For deb, living with constipation with belly pain was the same old story for years. Trying this. Doing that. Spending countless days right here. Still came the belly pain, discomfort, and bloating. Awful feelings she kept sugar-coating. Finally, with the help of her doctor, it came to be. That her symptoms were all signs of ibs-C. And that’s why she said yess to adding linzess. Linzess is not a laxative. It helps you have more frequent and complete bowel movements. And is proven to help relieve overall abdominal symptoms belly pain,discomfort, and bloating. Do not give linzess to children less than six and it should not be given to children six to less than 18, it may harm them. Do not take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. Get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. The most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. If it’s severe, stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. Other side effects include gas, stomach area pain, and swelling. Could your story also be about ibs-c? Talk to your doctor and say yess to linzess. You not being here is that you completely missed out on renault’s final reign of terror. I’m sure you heard about it, but there was a shoot-out at general hospital, a standoff. He took hostages, the whole bit. Yeah, jason told me all about it. Have you heard any — any rumblings about renault’s people trying to regroup? No. In fact, I checked in at the pcpd this morning with mac and chase. They said everything’s pretty quiet. You know, hopefully that doesn’t mean it’s the quiet before the storm. I hope not. Yeah, me, too. What’s up? You know something about renault? Sam, I can’t imagine the disappointment and frustration, coming so close to finding drew, only to have him disappear again. I know. I keep reminding myself that drew has survived a lot, and maybe he can survive this, too. Well, drew’s like jason. They’re incredibly resilient. You can’t count them out. How did you find this place? Spinelli. He used satellite images to scout the island, and he said there was no traffic in and out of this building. Yeah, it’s not exactly a hub of high-tech activity. And that motorboat has to be, what, 20 years old? Ugh. And that could help us get us back to our boat.

[ Sighs ] You mean if my mother is drugged or injured or… she can’t make the swim? We’re not gonna have a lot of time to get her off the island. We got to move fast. How do we know this boat works? I don’t know. I’ll check on it. There’s a — there’s a gas can. There’s — there’s some tools, so…

[ Sighs ] We’re so close, jason. We have to find her. I —

[ Sighs ] I mean, with nathan gone, I-I cannot live in a world where besides my nephew james, peter is my only living relative. Peter drugged your mom and took her with him, when it would have been far easier just to get rid of her. He thinks he still needs her. You’re keeping me alive because of maxie? Oh. Oh, trust me. I would love to kill you. Preferably a-a long, slow death. Something similar, perhaps, to what you tried to do to me in that cabin — tying me to that bed, torturing me for months. Remember that? And when you dragged me to wyndemere stable, nearly burning me alive? I remember that. So tell me, liesl, what was it, you and nina — your plan to lure me to st. Lucia? What were you gonna do? Perhaps some more torture? Maybe some waterboarding this time? Much as I would have enjoyed that, my plan was to make it short and sweet. Oh, liesl, come on. I’m offended. What, no pretense, even, for remorse now? I loathe you. When I made the mistake of trusting you, you turned around and framed me for your own crimes. Now you want me to help you with maxie? Yes, but now I have a plan to win her back. And I can’t do it alone. That’s where you come into play. See, you’ve picked up a lot of expertise through your years with my father. In fact, you almost more than anyone know as much about mental conditioning as he ever did, yes?

[ Chuckles ] You want me to condition maxie to forgive you and take you back?

[ Chuckles ] Impossible. Oh, come on, liesl. This is your golden opportunity to extend your life, maybe perhaps even save it altogether. But it will require compliance on your part.

[ Grunts ] That should do it. Okay, should we test it? That’d be noisy. Valid point.[ Guard speaks greek in distance ] The guards are back. Yeah, they’re not heading this way. Spinelli tracked their patrols. They go from east to west, north to south. If they’re passing by, that means they’re not gonna be back for a while. So…it makes it safe for me to go right now. You? What about me? You have to wait here.

[ Grunts ] Jason. No, I was absolutely not trying to influence you into backing off elq. Okay. I’ve seen you around the hospital several times, and I think it’s where you’re at your best. Not like when you’re with the quartermaines. You are not your best there. So, if your lawsuit had been successful, you would have been stuck with this difficult, squabbling family business and not here helping people. So, yeah, I was happy when you chose your medical career over elq, and that’s not because I wanted a win for the quartermaines. It’s because I think you’re a good and caring doctor. At least you were with me when my baby was born. I was. Lucky me. You were so impressive. Here. I-I mean that. I — maxie, here you are in the woods. You’re giving birth to your baby, and you’re not panicking. You don’t seem frightened at all because you’re just concerned for the well-being of a child. All you cared about was your baby. I admire you. Don’t admire me too much. One of the reasons I was happy you dropped your lawsuit is because I couldn’t listen to brook lynn complain about you every time I saw her. I hated being stuck in the middle, and I like you too much to let brook lynn badmouth you. Maxie and sasha aren’t just my friends. They’re also my bosses. And they happen to be very savvy and smart businesswomen. There’s no way they’re gonna believe I gave you a corporate credit card for personal shopping and massages. Mm. Well, then, you should have done the right thing last night when I played you that recording on my phone. Yeah, I should have grabbed your phone and destroyed the recording.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, do you think I was born yesterday? I made copies of the recording and stashed them in multiple locations. You’re an experienced blackmailer. What a shock. The right thing would have been for you as a quartermaine heiress to pay me with your money. And sasha and maxie won’t be any wiser. Then I wouldn’t have to break the heart of that elegant, injured man in that room. Oh, valentin is so sophisticated, he even looks good in that hospital gown.

[ Scoffs ] Here. Take my credit card. I’ll call account management and let them know you’re authorized to use it. Now, will that buy your silence? For now. Hayden was shot years ago. She’s alive and well. None of this is relevant anymore. And you get to decide that?

I know that my stalking ava

was terrible and wrong,

okay, but you and ava,

you’ve committed

your own share of crimes,

hurt your own share

of people.

And neither of you admit

to any of your wrongdoings.

Even now, you’re trying

to do everything possible

to avoid telling me

the truth about hayden. The hypocrisy is breathtaking. My crime versus you trying to have hayden killed, which is worse? So be honest with me, father. Did you do it? Did you arrange to murder my stepmother? Like I said… hayden isn’t dead. It doesn’t matter. Let…it…go. Oh, my god. It’s true. And tonight’s winning numbers are 18, 18 55, 39, 71, and 43 we won! Yes! Noooo… noooo… noooo… quick, the quicker picker upper! Bounty picks up messes quicker and each sheet is 2x more absorbent, so you can use less. I’ll hold onto that. Bounty, the quicker picker upper. (Jackie) I’ve made progress with my mental health. So when I started having unintentional body movements called tardive dyskinesia… I ignored them. But when the twitching and jerking in my face and hands affected my day to day… I finally had to say ,’it’s not ok.’ It was time to talk to my doctor about austedo. She said that austedo helps reduce td movements in adults… while I continue with most of my mental health medications. (Vo) austedo can cause depression, suicidal thoughts, or actions in patients with huntington’s disease. Pay close attention to and call your doctor if you become depressed, have sudden changes in mood, behaviors, feelings, or have suicidal thoughts. Common side effects include inflammation of the nose and throat, insomnia and sleepiness. Don’t take austedo if you have liver problems, are taking reserpine, tetrabenazine, or valbenazine. Austedo may cause irregular or fast heartbeat, restlessness, movements mimicking parkinson’s disease, fever, stiff muscles, problems thinking, and sweating. (Jackie) talk to your doctor about austedo…it’s tim e to treat td. Td is not ok. Visit askforaustedo.Com. Do you know what this means? It destroys everything that I’ve ever believed about you. Spencer, you need to drop this. I’ll admit that at first, I was furious when you left me. While I tried to find justice for your so-called death while you were alive and well. But I can blame — oh, I can blame all that on valentin. I can tell myself that you were reacting to what he did to you. But all of this happened way before you had ever even seen valentin. It’s attempted murder. And even worse, you let shawn butler take the fall for your crime. There is no proof that I had any part… I do not need — …in what happened with hayden. I do not need proof. I do not need proof, father. I can see it in your eyes. You know what I do need, though? A reason. Why? Why did you do it? I really liked hayden. Why did you want her dead? Please help me understand, father. Oh, cassadine isn’t admitting anything, right? He’s certainly not denying it. It’s not enough, right? I need him to say it, not talk around it. He has said enough important words. I-I’m sure I could, you know, put a confession together, if that’s what you want. Well, can you guarantee that the cops won’t be able to detect that you edited something together? There are no guarantees. It’s not gonna work, then. There’s got to be another way to find justice for hayden. And for yourself, I might add.

[ Sighs ] I am so sorry about gladys corbin. She was definitely hinting that she had information on something. What exactly did she say? Something about virtue and my girlfriend. Oh. Like I said before, she’s definitely drunk, and she was trying to win points with you since you have a vested interest in deception, so… and how’s it going, working with her as your assistant? Honestly? She’s a total nightmare. So get rid of her. I can’T. Why not? Well, I’m working with her as a favor to sasha. She’s driving sasha and brando crazy. I actually feel a little sorry for gladys. You know, being a mother has changed you. You’re a lot more patient, generous. You’re gonna be a wonderful role model for our daughter. That’s a very kind thing you just said. I appreciate it. Well, you’re a good guy. Thanks. Okay. Now I’m gonna go see what got brook lynn so worked up. I’m just happy it’s not me for once. Yeah. Not this time. Right. Okay, I got to go, but the boat’s ready. Well, that’s super nifty, but I’m more interested in the fact that you’re taking off, and I’m supposed to stay here. Why can’t we both go? Well, because two of us approaching the house doubles the chances of us getting spotted. What is it you want me to do to my former daughter-in-law? You know I’ll never hurt her. I-I wouldn’t do that to nathan’s memory. The last thing I’d ever want is to hurt maxie. But she doesn’t trust me anymore, liesl. In fact, she doesn’t even want to be anywhere near me. But she would welcome you. So what I want is for you to convince maxie to take me back. Because deep down, I know that she still loves me. And we need each other. We need to be together to go search for our little louise. Even if I were to help you, maxie knows how I feel about you. If I suddenly start to sing your praises, she’s bound to be suspicious. Aah! Aah! You bitch! Aah! Walkie-talkie. I’ll radio when I can. Just keep the lights out, okay? In case you need it. Thanks, I guess.

[ Sighs ] It’s gonna be okay. You’d better be right about that. Jason. Be careful. You, too. Turns out deb’s constipation with belly pain was actually ibs-c giving her grief. So she talked to her doctor because she wanted more relief. That’s when she said yess to adding linzess. Linzess is not a laxative. It helps you have more frequent and complete bowel movements. And is proven to help relieve overall abdominal symptoms-belly pain, discomfort, and bloating. Do not give linzess to children less than six and it should not be given to children six to less than 18, it may harm them. Do not take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. Get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. The most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. If it’s severe, stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. Other side effects include gas, stomach area pain, and swelling. Could your story also be about ibs-c? Talk to your doctor and say yess to linzess. We do it every night. Every night. I live alone, but I still do it every night. Right after dinner. Definitely after meatloaf. Like clockwork. Do it!

They’re using you to hurt me. You — you realize that, don’t you? They’re trying to drive an even bigger wedge between us while getting back at me. Was it — was it alexis? I know you trust her. Did she leverage that trust to convince you to do that?No, it wasn’t aunt alexis. No. Okay, was it — who was it, sam? Molly? No. Who in the family turned you against me? No, it wasn’t sam or molly. Then who? It was me. I’m always on guard about enemies like renault. You know that. Okay. So, you and sam were…

[ Both laugh ] Dating? That was good. That was a good changing the subject right there. Nah, we’re just, you know, I don’t know, decompressing after that search for drew. Ah, okay. Whatever you want to call it, look, if she puts a smile on your face, then, uh, that’s all I need to know.

[ Chuckles ] You know, dante and i have had our differences, but he’s a really great guy and a talented investigator. I’m really glad he had your back when you were looking for drew. I like dante. Ah! And you’re right. He is a very talented investigator. I’m just glad he was there to help me out. Hey. Have a seat, please. Oh, thanks. I’m going to have the waitress send over our best bottle of champagne. Uh, we don’t need champagne. No, that sounds good. I was just telling sonny it’s not that kind of dinner. Hey. I’m just really glad that you guys made it home safely. And I really do wish you the best. Thank you. Wow. I think carly just gave us her approval. I think my father just did the same thing. I mean, not that we needed it. No, we don’T. But it makes life easier. So? Yeah? The detective and the former con artist? Stranger things have happened. I know. Like you coming back to me. Doing a little retail therapy at the gift shop? Oh. [ Laughs ] Ah, they do have beautiful things. Bit pricy, but I just got a little bonus at work. Oh, that’s awesome. So, did valentin appreciate his oversize stuffed bear? I’m not sure. I might have misjudged his taste. Even though you’re family? Right. So, how well do you know valentin? There you are. I’ve been looking for you. Why were you so freaked out about gladys?

[ Monitor beeping ] Come with me. I have been trying to tell you about this all day. I was trying to tell you before when austin interrupted us with the wonderful news that gladys is here visiting valentin. Thank god I got there in time. Okay, why? You remember yesterday at the pc grill when we were talking about valentin? Well, gladys was recording the entire conversation so she could take notes on the meeting. Oh, my god. Oh, my god. She knows about bailey. She knows that peter’s her father. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. All she heard was that I dread the day that valentin finds out that bailey’s not his daughter. No, but that is enough to blow this whole thing wide open. If gladys opens her big mouth to the wrong person, that’s just a hop, skip, and a jump from the truth. And then she’s gonna know about bailey, and she won’t be safe from peter anymore. What are we gonna do?

[ Peter breathing heavily ] Obrecht’s escaped. She can’t have gone far. You find her! Find her now! Aah.

[ Groaning ]

[ Guard speaking greek ] Crap, where’s the pistol?

[ Spear gun fires ] Honestly, I thought I was getting my floors cleaned. Then I learned, my mop could be loaded with bacteria. That means I gotta clean my mop too? Ugh. So I got a swiffer wetjet to get a cleaner, clean! I stick on a fresh pad. Boom! It’s ready to go. The spray breaks down dirt. And the pad absorbs it deep inside. Unlike my mop that can spread it around. And wetjet’s even safe on wood! All this? Buh-bye. It’s so simple! I get a cleaner clean every day.

It could mean a chance to live longer. Opdivo plus yervoy is for adult s newly diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread, tests positive for pd-l1, and does not have an abnormal egfr or alk gene. It’s the only fda-approved combination of two immunotherapies. Opdivo plus yervoy equals… a chance for more time together. More family time. More quiet time. Opdivo and yervoy can cause your immune system to harm healthy parts of your body during and after treatment. These problems can be severe and lead to death. See your doctor right away if you have a cough; chest pain; shortness of breath; irregular heartbeat; diarrhea; constipation; severe stomach pain, nausea or vomiting; dizziness; fainting; eye problems; extreme tiredness; changes in appetite, thirst or urine; rash; itching; confusion; memory problems; muscle pain or weakness; joint pain; flushing; or fever. These are not all the possible side effects. Problems can occur together and more often when opdivo is used with yervoy. Tell your doctor about all medical conditions including immune or nervous system problems, if you’ve had or plan to have an organ or stem cell transplant, or received chest radiation. Here’s to a chance to live longer. Ask your doctor about chemo-free opdivo plus yervoy. Thank you to all those in our clinical trials. Got this gorgeous italian leather bag from marshalls.

Stop her dead in her tracks. Well, to be honest, I don’t know valentin all that well. Even though you’re family? Distant family. But I’ve always felt a special bond, a-a connection. Why is that? Let’s just say I like the guy, and I don’t want to see him hurt. Spencer, you barely know this man, and you allowed yourself to be manipulated by him? Why? Are you really so angry at me that you wanted me to incriminate myself? I didn’t confront you to get a confession. I came to you to prove mr. Butler wrong. To hear my father say that he didn’t try to have hayden murdered. But you never did. He’s all yours. They sure are cute together. Yeah, they are. You still thinking about renault? There’s something dante said that helped me make up my mind. And I got — I got to — I got to do this before it’s too late. I’m gonna go visit renault in prison.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[Knock at door]

Abe: Oh. Yeah.

Nicole: Hi.

Abe: Oh. [Chuckles] Nicole.

Nicole: Oh, well, I see flowers was not an original idea.

Abe: Oh, that’s mostly paulina.

Nicole: Oh, well, I hope you’re not allergic, because the last thing you need to do is start sneezing.

Abe: [Laughs] Oh, ah, these stitches.

Nicole: Are you okay?

Abe: Just don’t make me laugh.

Nicole: Okay. I won’T. So I hear you’re engaged to paulina.

Abe: Oh.

Nicole: Are you happy?

Abe: Believe it or not, this is a happy face.

Nicole: Oh, sorry. I saw lani and theo dragging paulina to the elevator.

Abe: Well, she’s been here for two days straight. She needs some rest.

Nicole: So do you. So if you’re not up for the company, just say so.

Abe: Oh, hey, I am always, always glad to see you.

Nicole: Abe, I am so glad to see you. I was so scared.

Abe: Yeah. Me too. You know, that gun, it just– it just came out of nowhere.

Nicole: Why would jake dimera do that to you?

Abe: I just told rafe. He didn’T.

[Dramatic music]

Jake: Hey, you’re back.

Gabi: Yes. Rafe talked to abe. Tell him.

Rafe: Mayor carver corroborated your statement.

Jake: Thank god.

Rafe: Yeah. He also picked carmine merlino’s picture out of a photo array. Yeah, merlino. Pretty impressive rap sheet, that guy, huh?

Jake: Yeah.

Rafe: Known associate of some major mob types in philadelphia. And we also found his prints on your gun.

Jake: [Laughs] Well, I was afraid that the mayor would forget everything that happened before the shooting.

Gabi: Well, he didn’T. And that’s not the only good news. Go on, tell him.

Rafe: Abe overheard carmine admitting that he’s the one who whacked zanetti, not you.

Jake: [Laughs]

Gabi: And now that he’s been cleared from these bogus charges, will you please take these handcuffs off him?

Rafe: Hmm. Not just yet.

Gabi: What?

Carmine: Hey!

Ava: What are you doing here, huh? This is the police commissioner’s house, for god’s sake.

Carmine: I had to see you.

Ava: You were supposed to be lying low.

Carmine: Don’t get much lower than the town dump. You know how bad that place stinks?

Ava: Yeah, well, no one’s gonna find you there, are they? Thought you liked playing tony soprano.

Carmine: What am I supposed to do, hide out in sewers for the rest of my life?

Gabi: Well, it beats life in prison, doesn’t it? And that’s exactly where you’re headed. Rafe could come home any minute.

Carmine: I don’t think you get what I’m saying, so let me make myself clear. You either find me some five-star accommodation, or you’re gonna wind up in the cell right next to mine.

Allie: A walk through the cemetery? That’s your idea of fun?

Tripp: What, are you scared?

Allie: Me? No.

Tripp: Okay, well, I just thought maybe, you know, that stuff with the ouija board with your brother freaked you out.

Allie: I’m fine.

Tripp: Good. ‘Cause I’ve always, you know, thought it’d be cool to done one of those ghost tour things on halloween.

Allie: Why? I mean, halloween isn’t any different than every other night.

Tripp: Oh, yeah? Okay, let’s go.

Demon marlena: So… little allie horton doesn’t believe in the supernatural… even after what I did to her grandmother. I guess I’ll just have to make her a believer. Rise up. Rise up, charlie dale! And prove to allie that my powers are real.

[Sinister music]

[Laughs] I’ve still got it. Undeniably, unequivocally, I’ve got it.

Charlie: Hail.

[Bones crack] I am at your command.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Gabi: What do you mean not yet? You heard abe. Jake’s innocent.

Rafe: Of attempting to murder abe. But he is guilty of bringing a loaded firearm to a public park, which is against city ordinances, not to mention the fact that the da’s gonna want to speak to him about all his priors with merlino, not to mention the philly pd.

Gabi: [Scoffs] Come on!

Rafe: You know the best way to help yourself? Roll on merlino: Who his friends are, who might want to help him out, that sort of thing.

Jake: Okay, I haven’t had any dealings with the guy in years, I swear.

Gabi: And I told you yesterday that carmine’s mob boss is none other than your precious ava. So if you want answers, why don’t you talk to her?

Ava: I had nothing to do with you shooting the mayor. I didn’t even know you were in salem.

Carmine: Oh, yeah? Well, let’s talk about something you do know, like how you and phil kiriakis wanted me to help you frame jake dimera, all so you could steal your boyfriend’s little sister’s company. I got to hand it to you, boss.

[Laughs] Shacking up with the police commissioner and sticking it to his little sister all at the same time? That’s moxie. But just you wait until he hears about all the stuff you pulled in philly.

Ava: He’s not gonna hear about anything.

Carmine: If I go down for shooting the mayor, I ain’t going alone. I’m taking you with me.

Ava: Oh, you threatening me?

Carmine: Oh, yeah.

Tripp: Okay, okay, so if we cut through the alley, we should be, like, a block north of the cemetery. What, is something wrong?

Allie: I can’t do it. I’m sorry.

Tripp: What? Why didn’t you just say so?

Allie: I’m not superstitious, but cemeteries really creep me out. I mean, I don’t like being surrounded by a bunch of dead people, especially on halloween. I don’t care if they’re six feet under.

Demon marlena: Marlena’s granddaughter needs to be taught a lesson.

Charlie: If you’re talking about allie horton, I’d like to teach her a few lessons myself.

Demon marlena: Ah. I thought you’d be a very good match for the job.

Charlie: I have scores to settle with lots of folks in salem.

Demon marlena: The more mischief you make, the happier I’ll be. So why don’t you just get to it?

Trelegy for copd.

Allie: If you want to go check out the graveyard, you go for it, but I’m gonna wait for you right here.

Tripp: No, no, that’s okay. I’d rather be with you. And besides, I think we could figure out something else to do.

Allie: Something that doesn’t involve graveyards?

Tripp: Are you upset with me?

Allie: No. No, I’m just–

Tripp: Just what?

Allie: Okay, I’m a little upset. When I walked into the hospital, I saw you and chanel talking, and she said that you guys were talking about abe. But you weren’t, were you? You were talking about me.

Nicole: Abe, I’m so sorry it took you getting shot for me to come see you.

Abe: Oh, I– I should’ve checked in with you. How are you? How are you doing?

Nicole: [Chuckles] You’re the one who gets shot, and you’re asking me how I’m doing.

Abe: I heard that you and eric split up. And I–I should’ve called you.

Nicole: I guess you figured out that I never sent him the email.

Abe: The one that you said would end your marriage?

Nicole: I was unfaithful to him. I should’ve known it was gonna come out.

Abe: Well, what are you gonna do? I mean, are you gonna try to work this out?

Nicole: No. We’re getting a divorce.

Abe: For sure?

Nicole: We just realized that we don’t belong together.

Abe: Oh, that makes me sad.

Nicole: Yeah. Me too. No, I’ve lain awake a lot of nights thinking about why it happened.

Abe: What’d you come up with?

Nicole: I know eric loved me. But I wonder now if he really wanted to be married.

Abe: What do you mean?

Nicole: I worked a lot with him at st. Luke’s, and he loved being a priest.

Abe: Well, that got taken away from him.

Nicole: Yes. But he never stopped missing that life. And I think his work in africa made him feel closer to who he was then.

Abe: Yeah. I see what you mean.

Nicole: I–I’m not saying the divorce is his fault. I’m just trying to find a way to forgive myself so that I can move on. I’m seeing someone.

Abe: Is he–is he worthy?

Nicole: I don’t really know how to answer that. It’s ej dimera.

Abe: Are you kidding?

Nicole: I–I’m sorry, abe, if that upsets you. I know you can’t stand him.

Abe: I thought you couldn’t either.

Nicole: I couldn’T. And when things blew up between him and me, I was sure I would never even be in the same room as him.

Abe: What changed?

Nicole: Well, for one thing, he started to pursue me, not the other way around.

Abe: [Sighs] And the other thing?

Nicole: He helps me forget someone else, someone that you would have approved of.

Abe: What went wrong?

Nicole: As usual, my timing is lousy. So by the time I figured out he was the one, another lucky woman snapped him up.

Gabi: So I tell you that ava’s the one that hooked up carmine and philip, yet you go home and tell her nothing.

Rafe: I didn’t go home last night, for the record. I was directing the manhunt for carmine.

Gabi: Ava knows where he is, yet you continue to harass jake and you keep him locked up here for no reason!

Jake: Gabi, it’s okay.

Gabi: No, no, it’s not okay. You think that you have rehabilitated that bitch? But why don’t you just do your job?

Rafe: Oh, I know how to do my job. I called ava, and we are playing phone tag.

Gabi: Phone tag, rafe? Come on! She doesn’t want to answer. She doesn’t want to admit that she was carmine’s mob boss. I will bet you anything she was the one that got carmine to get away.

Ava: Thought you knew better than to threaten your boss.

Carmine: My boss?

Ava: Mm.

Carmine: You? [Laughs] You used to wield a knife with the best of them. But now you’re using it to cut up eggplant in a dump like this. You traded in your gat for a– for a sculabast! So no, I ain’t afraid of you no more.

Ava: You better be.

Demon marlena: And by the way, you haven’t thanked me for bringing you back from the dead. Didn’t your mother teach you any manners?

Charlie: Matter of fact, she skipped manners.

Demon marlena: [Laughs]

Charlie: Thank you for bringing me back from the dead.

Demon marlena: That’s more like it. Now, you know what I want you to do, so get out there and wreak some havoc for me.

Charlie: With pleasure.

Demon marlena: [Laughs]

Instantly clear everyday

Rafe: That is a huge leap to accuse ava of helping carmine get away.

Gabi: Oh, come on. Ava and philip, they started this whole carmine situation. She reached out to carmine. He told her that garbage about jake killing zanetti. And philip told me flat out that if I didn’t sign over gabi chic, he was gonna use that made-up crap to get jake.

Rafe: And why would ava want to help philip?

Gabi: Because she– she wants to run gabi chic.

Rafe: And you never thought of telling me this?

Gabi: I didn’t want to make more trouble for jake. And mainly I didn’t think you would believe me.

Jake: Hey, everything she’s saying is true.

Rafe: Okay. Why would philip want to get rid of you?

Gabi: Mm, he wants to run gabi chic his own way.

Rafe: You want me to trust you? Why don’t you try telling me the truth for once?

Gabi: What? Wait, where are you going?

Rafe: I’m going to see abe. I will have someone come and take you back to lockup.

[Door slams]

Gabi: [Scoffs]

Jake: [Sighs]

Tripp: What makes you think chanel and i were talking about you?

Allie: Well, I know you both really well. And you clammed up as soon as you saw me, and then you both seemed guilty.

Tripp: Okay. You’re right, I’m sorry. This isn’t really my… favorite subject.

Allie: What isn’t?

Tripp: Me being more into you than you’re into me.

Allie: Because you told me you love me and I couldn’t say it back.

Tripp: I didn’t know you told chanel about that.

Allie: She’s my best friend. And I only told her that because I feel so awful. I mean, not only are you cute and sexy and smart, but you take care of henry in the morning so I can go to work. I mean, you fixed his hole in his blanket.

[Sighs] I’m the luckiest girl in the world to be with a guy like you. And saying “I love you,” I just–it’s not about you.

Tripp: Hey, look, you don’t have to explain anything, okay? I didn’t even want to bring it up. I don’t want you to feel any type of pressure, okay?

Allie: I told you, I’ve never said “I love you” to anyone. And after what charlie did to me… I know it’s awful to say, but I’m glad he’s dead. It’s so much easier to put him out of my mind when I know he’s out of my life forever.

[Suspenseful music]

Demon marlena: [Laughs] Julie williams. I should’ve known. The only mortal dumb enough to have mourned this fallen angel.

[Scoffs] Nicholas fallon. Yeah. Yeah, the one who single-handedly tried to bring down the horton family. You certainly muddied up that name, didn’t you?

[Chuckles] Nice work. I do have one more job for you now, though.

Carmine: Look, if you ain’t gonna help me out, I’m gonna have to take this situation into my own hands.

Ava: Get out.

Carmine: Shut up. I’m gonna take this moppine and I’m gonna wrap it three times around that skinny little neck. The perfect way for a casalinga to go.

[Tense music]

Charlie: Mother, I’m home. We do it every night.

Ava: You–you can’t be here. You’re–you’re dead.

Charlie: And now I’m undead. This guy…he’s dead. Hey, I just saved your life. How about a “thank you, charlie?”

Ava: Thank you.

Charlie: “Charlie.”

Ava: Charlie.

Charlie: Will this make you love me?

Ava: What? I–I told you. I told you the night that you died.

Charlie: Yeah, but i don’t think you meant it. I think you were happy to have me off your hands.

Ava: No.

Charlie: Yeah.

Ava: No.

Charlie: I heard what you said about your poor dead son. You’ll never love me, will you? I’ll never be perfect like your sainted tripp.

Ava: No, no, that’s not true.

Charlie: You don’t exactly seem happy to see me.

Ava: Okay. Okay, this is a nightmare. This is a nightmare. It has to be. This can’t be–this can’t be happening.

Charlie: Oh, it will be. I want you to see the hell that I call home, sweet home.

Ava: Leave me alone!

Charlie: [Grunts]

[Growls]

Abe: So you said that this man who got away is someone I approve of. So I assume that means I know him.

Nicole: Yes. You do. But like I said–

[Knock at door] Rafe?

Rafe: Hey.

Abe: Hey.

Rafe: Listen, I am sorry to interrupt, but I just need to get your statement and I’ll be out of here.

Nicole: You know what? I–I was just gonna head out, let abe get some rest.

Abe: Oh. Well, here. All right. And–

Rafe: Thank you.

Abe: You know, my– my eyelids are getting a little heavy. Look, so glad to see you. Don’t be a stranger.

Nicole: I won’t be. I promise.

Rafe: I’ll see you soon, abe. All right? Take care.

Abe: Yes, sir.

Rafe: You got time for a coffee?

Nicole: Yeah, sure, why not? Yeah.

[Soft dramatic music]

Gabi: I cannot believe him! I mean, here you sit in handcuffs and he hasn’t said a word to ava!

Jake: He loves her. This is probably very hard for him.

Gabi: Oh, first of all, how do you know he loves– no. Second of all, why are you being so nice about him?

Jake: Because, gabi, he’s right. I’m not innocent. I brought carmine to salem and I brought a loaded gun to our meeting in the park.

Gabi: Yeah, but you were just trying to scare him off.

Jake: I know. Carmine took the gun from me and then used it to shoot the mayor.

Gabi: But you didn’t shoot anybody, okay? Not abe, not zanetti. You just–you don’t have it in you, unlike me. I killed nick fallon not once but twice! And he had it coming to him both times!

Demon marlena: Ah, nick fallon. This isn’t your first undead rodeo, is it?

Nick: Yours either, dr. Evans.

Demon marlena: Whoo! Don’t call me by her name! Oh, you have become quite a handsome little devil, haven’t you? Struck down in your prime. And yet there you are, still so young and handsome… and tempting. Better skin from your body wash?

Demon marlena: Mwah.

[Laughs]

Nick: Is that why you raised me from the dead?

Demon marlena: No. That was just a little diversion.

[Gasps] John black must be turning over in his crypt.

Nick: So what do you want me to do?

Demon marlena: If I were to give you one day back on earth, how would you spend it?

Nick: Hmm. If it were up to me, I guess I’d avenge my death.

Demon marlena: [Laughing] Oh! Good idea! And you could start with that little tart gabi hernandez.

Nick: I thought you liked her.

Demon marlena: Well, marlena likes her okay. I guess I’m all right with her when she’s doing my bidding. And I might need one more person to join my little army of the undeads. Of course, she would have to die tonight.

Gabi: Abe’s statement will say you didn’t do anything wrong. Carmine had the gun. Carmine shot abe. My brother’s just too embarrassed to admit that he got suckered by ava. But I know him. I know he’s thinking about it, realizing I’m right.

Jake: You really think ava helped carmine go underground?

Gabi: Who else can make him disappear like that? That bitch has not changed. She is pure evil. Oh, I can see the scene right now. When rafe confronts her, she’s gonna beg and cry. But you know what? This time, rafe is not gonna let her squirm out of this. She is out of the house for good and on her way to prison.

Nicole: Mm. When you said you’d buy me a cup of coffee, I thought you’d take me someplace where there’s decent coffee.

Rafe: Yeah, yeah, I was thinking that too. And yeah, but then I rethought it.

Nicole: ‘Cause I said we should keep our distance for the sake of ava?

Rafe: Yup.

Nicole: Mm-hmm.

Rafe: Right. That. But I do need to ask you some questions.

Nicole: About what?

Rafe: A police matter. And it’s also personal for me. I have reason to believe that the woman I’m living with might be indirectly responsible for abe getting shot.

Nicole: Are you kidding?

Rafe: Yeah, I wish I was. I got to ask you, did ava ever give you any indication that the mob life she left behind wasn’t actually that far behind her?

Nicole: Well, can I ask you what–what got you thinking about that?

Rafe: Gabi. So obviously, I have to be careful. She hates ava, and, well, we both know what she’s capable of when she hates someone. But I got to tell you, after talking with her tonight, I got to think that maybe there’s a chance she’s telling the truth this time. And I’ve been a damn fool.

Tripp: You don’t have to explain anything or apologize for–

Allie: I want you to know this. Those three little words have been on the tip of my tongue so many times. And now I feel like maybe–

[Cell phone ringing]

Tripp: Hang on. It’s my mom. Hey, mom.

Ava: Help me.

Tripp: Mom?

Ava: Please, help me!

Nick: So do you want me to kill her or not?

Demon marlena: I want you to do whatever creates the most misery for the most people. Have you met me? Now, I’m gonna need one more person like you to create this unholy energy. Who could that be?

Nick: Hmm. That’s an interesting name. Greek god of terror.

Demon marlena: Don’t ever use the g-word around me!

Nick: “Greek”?

Demon marlena: Oh, for a smart guy, you’re such a dodo. No! The other g-word.

Nick: Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to offend.

Demon marlena: Mm. Are you still waiting here? I’m thinking. I’m thinking. Can you just go do your job?

Nick: Yes, ma’am. Sir. Sir? Ma’am? Sir?

Demon marlena: I’m not a real person. I don’t have a pronoun. I’m tired of talking. Now, go! Go make evil!

[Unsettling music]

Deimos kiriakis. Another person nobody wants to see again.

[Laughs] Ah, a perfect instrument to carry out my plans.

[Sighs] On the outside, I looked fine.

Deimos: [Breathing heavily]

[Dark music]

Demon marlena: I feel a certain energy emanating–

Deimos: The place where my heart used to be, before the coroner put it in a jar.

Demon marlena: My mark.

Deimos: My half brother, victor, carved it into my chest, said I was the devil.

Demon marlena: Hmm.

Deimos: So he put your mark on me.

Demon marlena: Well, you were much hated in life, but you will be adored in the afterlife. I hereby deputize you.

Deimos: Great. To do what?

Demon marlena: To right all the wrongs done to you, starting with nicole walker. She never, never paid for killing you. She didn’t even tell many people that she’d done it.

[Sighs] Pity. Nicole used to be one of mine. But then she fell in love with marlena’s son. But now her eric has left her. So she’s ripe for the picking. Go. Reap your vengeance.

Deimos: I’ve waited a long time for this.

Nicole: Well, I talk to ava a lot, and…

Rafe: Yeah.

Nicole: She hasn’t said anything that’s made me wonder if she’s still in contact with her family.

Rafe: Huh. What about philip? Have you heard anything from him?

Nicole: No, nothing at all. In fact, philip and brady are at war over chloe, so they’re not exactly confidants.

Rafe: Huh. Well, maybe gabi’s making up stories again. You know, she and ava, it’s like living with two pieces of flint. I never know which spark’s gonna start the fire.

Nicole: I think the best thing that you can do is just talk to ava and try to have an open mind.

Rafe: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that’s– okay, well, thank you for everything, you know.

Nicole: You’re my friend, and I just want you to be happy.

Rafe: Yeah, I want the same for you. So doing something with holly tonight?

Nicole: [Laughs] Nothing, actually. She is having a sleepover at her best friend, rebecca’S. And rebecca’s mom is taking them trick-or-treating first, so that makes rebecca’s mom either a saint or a martyr.

[Laughs] Or maybe both.

Rafe: Maybe.

[Both laugh] So no plans?

Nicole: I’m a little behind on work, so I’m gonna go to the office and try to catch up.

Rafe: Okay. Yeah. Well, you should be able to find some peace and quiet there.

Nicole: Mm-hmm.

Rafe: Yeah. So okay. Well, good seeing you.

Nicole: You too. You know, for what it’s worth…

Rafe: Yeah.

Nicole: I really hope gabi’s wrong about ava.

Rafe: Yeah, me too.

Tripp: Mom, just tell me that you’re okay.

Ava: Meet me at the pub. He’s after me.

Tripp: Who is?

Ava: I have to go.

Tripp: Mom!

Allie: Is something wrong with your mom?

Tripp: Yeah, but i don’t know what. I could barely understand her. I’m so sorry, she wants me to meet her at the pub.

Allie: Yeah, no, right, take off.

Tripp: Thank you for understanding.

Allie: I hope she’s okay.

Tripp: Yeah, me too. I’ll call you.

Jake: All right, that cop’s gonna be here soon to take me back to lockup. You should probably get going.

Gabi: I kind of do want to see what’s going on with rafe, I mean. But I swear to you, this is gonna be over tomorrow. You’re not gonna see the inside of a jail cell.

Jake: Hope you’re right.

Gabi: Hey. I love you.

Jake: [Sighs] Love you.

Gabi: [Smooches] Can’t wait to give you a real kiss tomorrow.

[Suspenseful music]

As someone who resembles someone else,

[Unsettling music]

Demon marlena: Hmm. The two of you must be so proud. Your great-grandson is back in town again, wreaking havoc on the place that you simply cherish. And there’s nothing you can do about it. You know what? Maybe I’ll plan a little family reunion.

[Laughs] Just kidding. No, you can both keep pushing up daisies for eternity.

[Laughs]

[Sighs] I kill myself.

Rafe: Ava, you home? We got to talk.

[Tense music]

Oh, my god.

Tripp: Okay, okay, tell me what’s going on.

Ava: You– you won’t believe me.

Tripp: Just tell me.

Ava: I– I saw your brother.

[Slow knocking]

[Rapid, forceful knocking]

Allie: This trick-or-treater better not wake henry.

[Gasps]

Charlie: Trick.

[Soft music]

Nicole: Oh, duke. I should really get rid of you. We both know that. But I’m not doing that. And why is it? And why am I talking to a stuffed bear?

[Chuckles]

Deimos: You know what they say. Talking to yourself, it’s the first sign of insanity.

Nicole: [Screams]

[Unsettling music]

Gabi: Baby, are you still out trick-or-treating? Oh, you’re having a party instead. All right. No, no, no, I can– no, I can call back. I can call you tomorrow. Yeah, you enjoy. I just wanted to say I love you and I miss you and I’m gonna visit very soon, okay? Hey, listen, will you put daddy will on the phone? I love you with all my heart, baby. Hey, will. Hey, listen, I’m not gonna keep you. I know you’re chaperoning a halloween party. I just wanted to say I cannot believe how grown ari looks in those pictures you posted. I think I’m gonna cry. What? No, it’s nothing. I just had kind of a strange feeling. Listen, you get back to the party. I just wanted to wish you and sonny a happy halloween and tell ari how much I miss her. I’m gonna be visiting very soon, all right? Okay, yes. Yes, you too. Bye. Why do I feel like somebody walked over my grave?

Nick: I know the feeling.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

 

Quinn: Don’t try me, donna. I promise you’ll regret it.

Donna: I’m not trying to do anything, quinn. Okay?

[Whimpering] I don’t want to fight with you. I don’t want to fight with you!

Qui: Then you keep your hands off my husband.

Donna: I don’t know what you think–

Quinn: Oh, no, no, no! Don’t you dare try to play innocent with me. I heard eric and brooke talking. I know what you were up to! You’re going after my husband–

Donna: No–

Quinn: So you should consider yourself warned. Back off! Or I will make sure eric never sees or hears from you ever again.

Brooke: Eric, do you really need to tell quinn what happened between you and donna?

Eric: Absolutely. She’s my wife, brooke. Look, I had this breakthrough, this breakthrough I thought would ner ul granted, it was with somebody else and so I think she deserves to know the truth.

Brooke: Yeah, well, if it were anybody else but quinn, I would understand that. But, you know, quinn has a history of losing her temper in a major way.

Eric: I’ll be able to handle quinn.

Brooke: Well, I know you will. But what if she goes after my sister?

Katie: You’re holding my hand.

Carter: You noticed.

Katie: It’s kind of hard not to.

Carter: It’s a nice hand. Very soft.

Katie: Hasn’t been held in a long time.

Carter: Is this okay?

Katie: Yeah. Yeah, I don’t mind a bit.

[Katie chuckling]

Katie: Oh!

Carter: Uh. Thank you.

Katie: Looks good.

Carter: Yeah, yeah it does. So um, back to the news about eric. He had A… physical reaction to donna.

Katie: Yeah, pretty crazy, right? I mean, it’s something that hasn’t happened with quinn. I think that speaks volumes about how he really feels about his wife.

Carter: And you think i should pursue a relationship with quinn if she and eric don’t make it?

Katie: No. No, I didn’t say that.

Carter: Well, it’s– it’s the way it sounded.

Katie: No. I was just wondering how you would feel if quinn were suddenly available. I’m not advocating for you to be with her at all. I think that you deserve someone better, someone who respects you and appreciates you and… who always put you first.

Brooke: I’m just saying, quinn’s not the most stable person I’ve ever met. So, it’s entirely possible she could blame donna and go off on her.

Eric: Look, I’ll make it clear that donna did absolutely nothing wrong. You don’t have to be concerned.

Donna: Quinn I– I just– I just– I– I wanna get back to my desk, please.

Quinn: I don’t think you fully understand me.

Donna: Just… let me go–

Quinn: Eric is my husband and I will not tolerate you disrespecting me or my marriage. And I won’t sit back quietly while you make moves on my husband. What I will do… is make you pay. Hi susan! Honey?

Katie: I know that your feelings for quinn run deep. She could have cost you everything and you were willing to pay the price. Build a life with her, away from los angeles.

Carter: If quinn said yes, I would’ve walked away from everything I’ve built here and never looked back. But… she didn’T. She went back to eric and, and– what am i supposed to do with that?

Katie: So, what are you saying? You wouldn’t want to be with quinn even if you had the chance?

Brooke: Those of us who are reasonable and who know donna, know that she would never do anything wrong. She doesn’t have a deceptive bone in her body.

Eric: Truer words. No one’s ever been more open or genuine than donna has.

Brooke: Well, she’s a good person. She has good morals and good values. And she would never interfere in your marriage.

Eric: I know that.

Brooke: You know that but does quinn know that? And you did say that you’re gonna tell her donna did nothing wrong. But you know quinn: When she feels wronged or slighted, she just gets that stuck in her head? Donna is a lover, not a fighter. And quinn… well, she’s been known to go off on people. She can be dangerous. I’m just worried about my sister.

Eric: I know. It’s going to be okay.

Brooke: Okay.

Eric: Go on.

Donna: You– you’re misinterpreting everything, okay? I… I didn’t come on to eric. I didn’T. I swear– we shared a hug and that’s it!

Quinn: Must have been some hug.

Donna: Okay. Ah! I could see how, uh, you would be hurt that he responded to another woman, but I swe–

Quinn: But– but nothing. No, I don’t want to hear your excuses, I don’t want to hear your justifications. You– you think you can have anyone or anything you want. You are so… self-righteous! And high and mighty. You, and brooke, and katie– you look down your hypocritical noses at me like you have never done anything wrong, you’ve never done anything that you’ve ever regretted. I know I’ve made mistakes. I’ve owned up to them. I’ve apologized for them. I’ve asked eric to forgive me but it doesn’t justify you going after my husband.

Donna: No. I–

Quinn: It must bug you! Doesn’t it? I mean, it must really, really get to you that eric chose me. That eric, wanted me to be his wife. Handsome eric forrester wanted to be saddled for life with a piece of trash like me.

Donna: I have never called you that.

Quinn: You didn’t have to. It’s written all over your face. It is. Yeah. Wait, you’re, you’re the “sweet” logan, right? I mean, you’re the good one that balances out the arrogance and the entitlement of the other two. Donna, you don’t have to come right out and tell me how awful you think I am because that’s what brooke and katie do. You just need to sit outside at your little desk and you just need to wait and wait until you see your opportunity to pounce.

Donna: That’s so not fair–

Quinn: I am not letting you steal my husband. I am going to do everything I have to do to protect my marriage. And if that means that I have to eliminate you from our lives forever… so be it. You try to stay ahead of the mess

Carter: It’s funny. I can’t believe we’ve known each other for this long and this is the first time we’re sitting down and having a conversation.

Katie: Right?

Carter: It’s nice. I enjoy talking with you, katie.

Katie: Yeah, same here.

Carter: Hoping for more of it.

Katie: Oh, I think that’s a pretty safe bet.

Carter: You said earlier that I deserve someone who appreciates me.

Katie: Yeah, I meant it.

Carter: And I can say the same for you, as well. You’re special, katie. And I was never convinced that bill is worthy. Probably shouldn’t have said that. I just think so highly of you. I mean, you’re this amazing businesswoman. You’re smart and accomplished. But there’s this other side to you: You’re warm and you’re funny. Vulnerable. And I mean that in the best possible way. I mean, you’re open and honest. It’s a compliment.

Katie: Thank you.

Carter: And I’m aware of some of the struggles you’ve been through but you never let it change you. Wonderful mother to will, good friend and sister– katie, I don’t know– I don’t know where this strength comes from. I know you may feel you’ve been in brooke and donna’s shadow but… I see you.

[Door creaks]

Brooke: Oh! When I didn’t see you at your desk, I thought that you were out to lunch.

Donna: Yeah. Yeah, I don’t think that um, I could really eat right now.

Brooke: Well, I’m sure that you’re distracted given everything that’s happening with eric. It’s pretty significant that he responded to you and not–

Donna: K. I don’t want to come between them, brooke. How many times have I said that?

Brooke: Are you all right?

Donna: I’m trying to be.

Brooke: Did something happen?

Yes. Quinn happened. She was here. And she knows. She knows what happened with eric and me.

Eric: Quinn, there you are.

Quinn: Yep. Here I am.

Eric: Everything alright?

Quinn: I’m fine.

Eric: I think not. What is it?

Quinn: I think you know, eric. When were you going to tell me?

Eric: Tell you what?

Quinn: About you and donna.

Eric: Ah… how did you, um–

Quinn: Oh, I overheard you and brooke talking.

Eric: It’s not what I can see you’re probably thinking…

Quinn: All this time… you weren’t able to make it happen with me… but you could with donna? Donna logan?

Tide pods ultra oxi

Katie: Well, I’m flattered that I’ve caught your attention. Feeling’s mutual.

Carter: You don’t have to say that. Katie: Oh, come on. How could I not notice the most eligible bachelor that forrester has ever seen? I mean, it is baffling to me that you’re still unattached.

Carter: Well, I am looking to change that. I want a woman I can build a future with.

Katie: And you thought that woman was quinn? Sorry. I’m gonna rein in my disdain. I know that you, um, have feelings for her.

Carter: Yeah, but I’m looking forward. From this vantage point, I… I see good things ahead.

Katie: It’s funny. So do I.

Donna: I mean, something is seriously wrong with that woman. I mean, who acts like that?

Brooke: What happened?

Donna: I was– I was here by myself, straightening up and then suddenly the door slams and there’s quinn behind me, glaring at me with her crazy eyes. And then I tried to leave and she stepped in front of me…

Brooke: What? She wouldn’t let you leave?

Donna: No. No. And then she got in my face and said she knew what I was up to with her husband and– well, then she ranted and raved about us.

Brooke: Us?

Donna: Yeah, you, me, and katie. And then she pinned me up against that desk with a freaking chair!

Brooke: Wait– I– okay, I don’t understand because eric said he hadn’t told quinn yet, so how did she find out?

Donna: She overheard you talking to eric last night.

Brooke: Oh.

Eric: I’m sorry you had to find out that way. I was going to tell you.

Quinn: When?

Eric: Now. I shouldn’t have put it off.

Quinn: So, you uh… you really felt something with donna. Oh. Well… that is, um… that’s significant. And I’m so happy. I’m happy for you. The more I think about it, the more I come to realize that um, this problem you were having– it wasn’t about you, it was about me. And I– I– I I know some day that– that it will be between us again, right? That– that it’ll be us. But until then, I need to know– I need to know what happened with donna so um, so I can understand.

Eric: It was innocent, quinn.

Quinn: I really find that hard to believe.

Eric: I see that. But, it was. Look, she and I have been talking lately and she’s been concerned about me.

Quinn: Because she’s in love with you.

Eric: Yes, I know that now. And I held her. And it wasn’t sexual. It was about friendship and history. But yes, something did happen.

Quinn: Twice.

Eric: Yeah… the first time…

Quinn: Was that night, the night you came in to the house and you practically swept me off my feet. And you said, “I don’t even wanna have dinner. I just wanna take you upstairs and make love to you. That was about donna–

Eric: No, that– that was about you and me. I wanted to have sex with you.

Quinn: I don’t get it. I know I made mistakes, eric. And, and I know that I hurt you but…

Eric: Donna did nothing wrong.

Quinn: Donna and her sisters have been attacking me and our marriage since day one! And I have had to bite my tongue and I have had to take their condescending attitude because you hold those logan sisters in such high esteem! I wanted it to happen with me! And it will. I know it will. It’ll happen, it’ll happen between us. I’m sure of that. But until then, I want donna to be gone. I mean it. Eric, I will not accept such blatant disrespect. I don’t want to see donna here, anymore.

Eric: What?

Quinn: I don’T. Want to see donna’s face ever again. I don’t want you to be around her ever again, except to go to the office and tell her, clean out her desk and never set foot in forrester creation or our home ever again!

Eric: Quinn, you’re overreact–

Quinn: No! I am not overreacting! Not after what donna has done. I need you to respect me, eric! I am your wife! I need you to honor me! If you care about our marriage, if you think it has even the chance to survive, you need to tell donna to get out of forrester creations and out of our lives. Forever.

Interview with Morgan Freeman

TV Interview!

 

Morgan Freeman of "History's Greatest Escapes" on History.

Interview with Morgan Freeman, James Younger and Geoffrey Sharp of “History’s Greatest Escapes with Morgan Freeman” on The History Channel by Suzanne 8/17/21

It was truly great to speak with such an esteemed actor as Morgan Freeman. This sounds like a very interesting show about historical prison escapes. Morgan is one of the producers, as well as  the narrator of the series. This was for the Fall TCA panel, so I was very grateful that I was able to ask two questions.

I asked them if there were any stories they weren’t able to tell, and they said that some they had to skip for logistical reasons, but they might be able to do them for season two. They had also tracked down one guy, Nuno Pontes, who had escaped from the former Western Penititentiary, who had agreed to do the show, but then he didn’t want his mother to see him on TV because he was an ex-con and he was embarrassed (so they had to do the show without showing his face).

Then I asked Morgan Freeman whom he thought would have made a good replacement for him, if he had been unable to host the show. After joking that I was going to get him in trouble, he answered that Jeremy Irons would have been his choice because “he has a magnificent voice, and he’s a great actor.” As a fan of the “Batman” movies, that answer made me very happy! Make sure you check out this fabulous series.

Great Escapes with Morgan Freeman: Unveiling the Art of Prison Breaks

Los Angeles, CA, August 17, 2021 – The History Channel has taken a unique turn in its storytelling approach by partnering with the iconic Morgan Freeman and his production company, Revelations Entertainment, to bring viewers “Great Escapes with Morgan Freeman.” This eight-episode nonfiction series delves into the intriguing world of some of history’s most daring prison escapes, revealing the untold stories behind the notorious breakouts.

During the A+E Networks CTAM Press Tour in the summer of 2021, Morgan Freeman, host and executive producer of the show, along with executive producers James Younger and Geoffrey Sharp, shared insights into their groundbreaking project.

The History Channel, known for its exceptional documentaries and nonfiction series, has consistently explored various aspects of history. Eli Lehrer, Executive Vice President and Head of Programming for the channel, highlighted their dedication to bringing history to life through storytelling. In 2020, their presidential megadocs “Grant” and “Washington” achieved remarkable success, with “Grant” becoming the most-watched nonfiction miniseries in history. Now, they are gearing up to release two new presidential megadocs, “Lincoln” and “Theodore Roosevelt,” in collaboration with acclaimed historian Doris Kearns Goodwin.

However, the channel’s interest in history doesn’t stop at political leaders. They also commemorate events like September 11th by providing unique perspectives through documentaries that include government insiders, first responders, survivors, and victims’ families. To mark the 20th anniversary of the tragic day, History Channel will air seven powerful documentaries, shedding light on the various aspects of that fateful day.

The highlight of the CTAM Press Tour was the introduction of “Great Escapes with Morgan Freeman.” This series goes beyond the headlines and explores the fascinating stories of individuals who executed some of history’s most daring prison breaks. Morgan Freeman’s involvement in the show sparked comparisons to his iconic film “The Shawshank Redemption,” but Freeman was quick to distinguish between fiction and reality, emphasizing his ability to separate the two.

“Great Escapes with Morgan Freeman” showcases real-life stories of ingenious escapes from notorious prisons worldwide, including Alcatraz, Dannemora, Clinton, and Cummings. These stories of resourcefulness, ingenuity, and determination exemplify the lengths to which some prisoners will go to regain their freedom.

One of the standout stories is “The Great Escape” from World War II, where allied airmen managed to escape a German POW camp. In this case, their escape was successful, but in most instances, escapees are either recaptured or meet unfortunate fates.

The producers emphasized the meticulous research involved in bringing these stories to life. They interviewed guards, prison officials, historians, and even some of the escapees themselves. Some stories were based on documents created after the escapes to analyze how they happened.

During the Q&A session, Morgan Freeman and the executive producers shared their fascination with these escape stories. They highlighted the human ingenuity and resourcefulness that drives prisoners to attempt escapes, even if it means years of planning and execution.

The panel also discussed the significance of history and the untold stories that still exist. “Great Escapes with Morgan Freeman” aims to shed light on these lesser-known aspects of history, making viewers realize that history is often hidden in plain sight, waiting to be uncovered.

While the series tells these remarkable stories, it doesn’t shy away from acknowledging that some details may remain unknown or disputed. The focus is on presenting the adventures and the human spirit behind these audacious prison escapes, leaving viewers both fascinated and inspired.

“Great Escapes with Morgan Freeman” promises to take viewers on an exhilarating journey through history’s most incredible prison breaks, reminding us that the human desire for freedom knows no bounds. With its premiere, it will undoubtedly captivate audiences and continue the History Channel’s tradition of delivering compelling and factual storytelling.
