Recap written by Christine

At the main house, Chelsea thought Connor would be back from school by now. Adam said he’d be home on time. Chelsea digested the fact that the ranch was home for Connor and asked how that was going. Adam moved here to give Connor some stability after he got out of boarding school, and living at the ranch had given him that. Chelsea asked how it was for Adam living on the ranch, with Victor and other people who lived on the property. He assumed she meant him and Sharon. She wasn’t trying to pry. She completed therapy and left those dark thoughts behind, but she couldn’t help but be curious. He said he’d put her mind at ease – he barely saw Sharon anymore. He was focused on Connor and Newman Media. She said he sounded good. Adam would prefer to live somewhere other than the tack house. He saw enough of Victor at work, and he’d like to live closer to the office, but Connor loved the ranch and being close to family. Faith had been giving Connor riding lessons, and Grandpa Victor and Grandma Nikki could do no wrong in Connor’s eyes. Chelsea asked if Connor was really okay – he seemed fine in video chats, but that was such a small window into his life. She noted that Connor had been dealing with so many changes. Adam assured Chelsea that Connor was handling it like a champ. He said Connor’s biggest concern was that he missed his mother. Chelsea recalled that earlier, Adam said he was glad to see her. She asked if he missed her too.

Adam didn’t know how to answer that. Chelsea didn’t intend to put Adam on the spot. Her therapist encouraged her to be more direct. He thought he made his feelings clear. She felt that he seemed more at peace today, like he might be willing to get past what she did. He did feel more at peace, but as far as forgetting and forgiving her framing him, he didn’t think that was a conversation to have when Connor was about to come home. She said he was right. At that moment, Connor came in and was excited to see Chelsea. He said Grandpa told him there was surprise, and he’d hoped it was her. Victor came in and watched the reunion.

Chelsea marveled at how big Connor had gotten, and Victor credited to life on the ranch. Connor said Chelsea being here made it perfect. Adam said it was a good day for them all. Connor took Chelsea to the stables. Victor said he needed to know what Chelsea’s return meant to Adam. Adam stated that he and Chelsea didn’t have a future as a couple. They’d always be co-parents, but they’d done too much damage to each other to get back what they once had. Victor was relieved. Adam was concerned about how Connor would take the separation. Victor said that Connor was strong. Adam thought Connor needed all the love he could get, especially from his mom. Victor respected that Chelsea was a protective mother, but he thought she was toxic for Adam. Victor added that Sharon’s relationship with Adam was toxic too.

Adam wasn’t crazy about getting love life critiques from his father. Victor was impressed by Adam’s work at Newman Media, but he said Adam’s romantic entanglements screwed up his life. Victor wondered if Adam was going to the stables. Adam didn’t want to hover over Chelsea. He thought she deserved time alone with her son. Adam got a video of Billy from the anonymous sender. It was a video of Billy and Victoria at Crimson Lights, and it had audio too. Victor wondered who sent this video and whether they could be trusted. Adam intended to find out.

Chelsea and Connor came inside. The boy wanted his mom to spend the night. Chelsea explained that she was going to be staying at the penthouse, but she’d see him a lot. Adam added that they loved Connor even though they weren’t together. Victor said that the whole family was here for Connor. Adam said Chelsea could take Connor to her place tonight.

At Crimson Lights, Sharon gave Rey a coffee. According to Rey, Chance was meeting with the chief this morning, earlier than planned. Rey was wondering if Chance was going to be his partner again. Sharon was surprised Chance might go back to work already. Rey said the doctor cleared him. Sharon was thinking about Chance’s mental health – this was a stressful job. She said even if he hadn’t had such a terrible ordeal, it wouldn’t be unusual to take paternity leave. Rey wanted Chance to do what was best for him, but Rey also wanted his partner back. Rey had almost gotten Chance into soccer, and he planned to finish that project. Sharon hoped it worked so Rey wouldn’t go back to trying to make her watch soccer. He said that he’d never give up on that. She assured him that one day, he’d be on a stakeout with Chance talking about soccer, then they’d catch the bad guys.

As Sharon buttoned Rey’s jacket, she teased that she was wondering if she should be jealous of the way he was rhapsodizing about his relationship with Chance. He said she was much cuter than Chance, she was the most kind and compassionate person he’d ever met; she was warm and beautiful and the love of his life. He’d been thinking of going to the station to offer his moral support to Chance, until she made fun of him. She said that she thought that was a sweet thing to do, and she encouraged him to go. They kissed, and he left.

Devon was at home. He thought back to his conversation with Chance last night. Chance had admitted that he wasn’t okay and that he wasn’t telling Abby everything he felt. Chance said he failed Abby. He was trying to live up to the commitment he made to her and the baby, but he wasn’t sure he could. In the present, Amanda found Devon staring off into space. She noted that he left while she was sleeping, and she asked what was up. He was worried about Chance. Devon confided that Chance felt guilty about abandoning Abby throughout the pregnancy, he felt bad about Mariah’s kidnapping and he’d lost every person on his team. Devon understood why Chance wasn’t in a good place, but Devon didn’t want it to affect Dominic. Amanda asked if Devon was concerned Chance’s mental state would cause him to neglect the baby. He wasn’t worried about that. Chance had always been a responsible guy. The only thing Devon knew was that he wanted Dominic to have the best life possible. He also wanted to be there for Chance, since Chance opened up to him. He thought he knew how to achieve both things – he needed to spend as much time with Dominic as he could.

At the Chancellor house, Abby was concerned because Chance was meeting with Paul sooner than she’d expected. He assured her he was still planning to ease back into work because he wanted to spend as much time as he could with her and Dominic. He said this was the happiest he’d been in a long time. She asked where he went last night. Before he could answer, Christine showed up. Thanks to Chance’s intel, the people who set the bomb had been caught, and the bombers turned on the man that Chance had been trying to track down, and the individual had been apprehended. The case was officially closed, and Chance and his family wouldn’t need security anymore. Abby was delighted they could get their lives back.

Christine left. Abby felt like this was the start of a new chapter. Chance agreed. He’d love to stay and talk, but he had to go. Devon showed up to see the baby. Chance had been planning to call and thank Devon for listening last night. He was sorry if he felt a little off balance. Devon said there was no need to apologize. Abby told Devon the news. Chance was a little disappointed he couldn’t bring the criminals in himself. Abby pointed out that Chance provided the information that was needed to close the case. Devon suggested that they go celebrate with food, but Chance had an appointment. He left.

Abby had exciting news of her own – Dominic sat up today. Devon said Dominic was advanced. He revealed that Dominic had been trying to sit up when Abby was gone. He asked if she had a video. She did, and she said she’d text it to him. She asked how Chance seemed last night. He didn’t think it was a secret that Chance was still trying to adjust to being home. She was optimistic that he’d get past it. She hated that Chance kept beating himself up for going away. She said he felt bad he wasn’t there for her and Mariah, but no one held that against him. One of the things she loved about Chance was that he was dedicated to the greater good. Devon said maybe spending time with Abby and Dominic would make things a little easier on Chance. Abby kept telling herself that Chance would get back to his old self; it would just take longer than she thought.

Rey and Chance went to Crimson Lights. Sharon called Chance a hero. Rey said all the criminals on the case Chance worked had been caught. Chance didn’t think he was a hero, since he didn’t finish the job. Sharon and Rey thought Chance was heroic. Sharon wanted to give Chance a hero’s drink. Before Sharon could make something for Chance, Christine walked in, and Chance went over and thanked her for everything she did while he was gone. He’d been too overwhelmed to say it earlier. Nina and Abby told Chance what a great source of information and support Christine was. Christine had been happy to pass on what she could, up until she got the inaccurate information that he’d died. It wasn’t easy for her to tell Nina and Abby that Chance died. She didn’t blame him for that though. Chance left because the baby was due to wake up from his nap soon.

Sharon told Christine she was glad Chance and Abby got a happy ending. According to Christine, Paul thought it might be a little too soon for Chance to go back to work. She asked what Rey thought. He wasn’t sure if Chance was ready, since he’d only seen Chance twice since his return. Rey was rooting for Chance to rejoin the force at some point, but he thought the mission may have taken more out of Chance than he realized.

Chance got home and overheard Devon talking with the baby about sitting up for the first time. Devon promised to visit all the time.

Bill and Lily went to Society just as Ashland and Victoria were getting ready to go. Billy quietly told Lily to follow his lead. Billy, proceeded to put on a drunk and belligerent act. He approached the other couple and mentioned that, now that the kids were going to boarding school, he had no responsibility at all. Billy said he owed Ashland a thank you, and he insisted that Ashland join him in a drink. Ashland declined. Victoria thought Billy already had enough. Billy said that he didn’t have a job, but he was an Abbott, so he had plenty of money in the bank. Lily told Billy to stop, and Ashland said that Billy should listen to her. He said he did all the time, and she accepted him for who he was. He said Ashland knew the feeling, since Victoria forgave Ashland for many things. Billy added that Victoria forgave him for many things too. Billy thought he and Ashland had something in common, because Victoria liked a little bit of risk taking. Billy asked Ashland to play a fun poker game with him.

Lily seemed concerned and disapproving of Billy’s behavior. Billy said that Ashland owed him one. Ashland countered that he didn’t owe Billy anything. Ashland said he wasn’t going to feed Billy’s addiction. Billy countered that Ashland had no problem setting a trap and stripping Billy of his dignity. Ashland said he’d warned Billy that digging around in Ashland’s past would be a losing proposition. Victoria told Billy to go to a gambler’s anonymous meeting. He scoffed. Victoria couldn’t watch this anymore, so she and Ashland left.

Billy thought that went well. Lily thought it went almost too well. His drunken tirade felt a little too real to her. The venom in his voice when he was accusing Ashland of blackmail was chilling to Lily. Billy thought Ashland had it coming, but it was all part of the act. Lily was concerned Billy would get too deep in the act and lose sight of his goal. He said he’d never been more focused in his life. She wanted him to do something, and she knew he wasn’t going to like it. He thought she wanted him to drop the plan. She was on board with the plan, but she wanted him to tell Jack that the downward spiral was a charade. She already felt bad that they were lying to Victoria. He said Victoria sat back while Victor, Adam and Ashland tore him down. He asked why he should feel remorse about rubbing the consequences of what they did to him in Victoria’s face. Lily didn’t think it’d be fair to keep Jack in the dark. Billy said that his self-righteous brother would never go along with this plan.

Billy said that Jack was going to try and help fix him, which would add legitimacy to Billy’s act. Lily said it’d inflict emotional pain on Jack, especially since he was an addict too. Billy said it wasn’t ideal, but it would be fine since he wasn’t actually spiraling. Lily said that Jack might not be able to forgive the lie. Billy appreciated Lily’s view. He said they were in this together, and Jack was out of town, so they had time to make up their mind about how to proceed. He asked if there was another reason she wanted to bring Jack into the circle of trust? Was she looking for someone to hold Billy accountable? She said no. She trusted him when he said he had things under control. The blonde lady with the dark clothes appeared again, and Billy discreetly told Lily that he thought this woman was following him. Lily thought it was Sally in disguise. She’d overheard Sally and Adam talking about spying on Billy. Billy said that Sally had no idea she was playing into his hands. Billy thought they should give Sally a show.

Billy pulled out a deck of cards. Lily was surprised he was carrying cards as a prop. He said his motto was to always be prepared. He asked if she’d help him out. She played along and raised her voice, telling him to put the cards away. He refused, and the mystery lady filmed the argument. Lily yelled that she was done, and she stormed out. Bill finished his drink and went after her. The mystery woman’s back was to the door, so she didn’t see that Lily waited by the coat check for Billy and that they left together.

Victoria and Ashland went to her office. She was sorry he had to deal with Billy’s latest scene. He didn’t blame her. He almost felt bad for Billy because he’d fallen back into his old habits. It reinforced her belief that the kids should be in boarding school. Ashland wasn’t worried about Billy; he was Lily’s problem now. Victoria worried that Lily would leave Billy, and he’d get himself in trouble because he wouldn’t have anyone to rein him in.

Recap written by Christine

When Billy went to bed last night, Lily was poring over documents for Chancellor Industries. When he woke up the next morning, she was still in the same spot. She said she got a few hours of sleep on the couch. She didn’t mind the work though, she was learning so much about the company, and she was brimming with ideas for modernizing it and boosting profitability. Billy was glad that Lily had gotten over her self doubt. Lily was prepared to rise to the challenge, but she noted that Jill was a traditional and conservative leader. Billy said no one would accuse Jill of having his risk taking sensibility, but this about Lily, not him, and he loved seeing her shine. Lily respected Billy’s decision, but she really wished he’d come to Chancellor with her. She could see how much they could accomplish being CEO and COO together. She knew he wouldn’t have the voice he wanted right away, but in time… Part of Billy wanted to get in the trenches with Lily, but he wasn’t going to. He promised to be her biggest supporter and personal consultant day and night. He was proud of her and appreciated that she wanted to work with him, but he was focused on his plan for Victor and Adam.

Adam was at work. Someone sent him a video of Billy from yesterday. Adam watched it and smiled. Victor entered. He was glad Adam hired Noah. Victor knew Adam was disappointed they didn’t pursue ChancComm, but there were a lot of good things in store for Newman Media. Adam stated that he received some unsolicited candid footage of Billy drinking alone. He showed it to Victor. Adam was surprised at how quickly Billy started coming apart at the seams. Victor said Billy had two solid parents, but he’d always been a loser, and even when he got success while holding onto someone else’s coattails, he always lost it. Victor told Adam that Victoria was thinking of sending her kids to boarding school. He’d gotten this news from Nikki, Victor wasn’t sure he liked it, but he thought it was for the best. Adam said at least the kids wouldn’t be subjected to what was going on with Billy, because this was just the beginning. Victor agreed – he’d seen this all before with Billy, first the drinking, then the gambling, then the erratic behavior, embarrassing himself and his family, then he’d blame everyone else for his mistakes. Adam said Billy needed to be put in his place.

Victor asked what Adam was thinking. Adam said Billy set himself up for humiliation, and someone could take advantage of that. Victor wondered who sent the video. Adam didn’t know, probably a freelancer looking for a payout, or someone from Billy’s past looking to take him down a peg. Victor said to be careful because they didn’t need another greedy blackmailing bastard like Gaines. Adam agreed. Victor had a meeting, and he told Adam to keep him informed. Adam texted the anonymous person to ask who they were and what they wanted. The reply was that they didn’t want anything. They just wanted to help.

Victoria walked into her office and overheard Ashland on the phone. He instructed someone to do something immediately and to only contact him at this number. He stressed that this person was not to call any of the Newman/Locke numbers. Ashland needed this handled with discretion. Victoria closed the door, alerting Ashland to her presence. His call ended. As his wife and partner, she wanted to know what was going on. He was afraid he couldn’t. He told her not to worry. She asked if she seemed worried. He admitted she didn’t, but he assumed she was thinking back to the secrets he kept and when he pretended he was buying her a gift when he was really getting money to pay Jesse Gaines. Victoria said a lot had changed, and she trusted Ashland. He was grateful. She was curious though, and she wanted a hint. He said he was arranging a present for her. Excited, she tried to get more information out of him, but he was mum. He felt happy and strong today, and he thought he owed it to her and his new treatment. He was going to get some work done, and he hoped to spend time with her. That sounded good to her. She had a meeting too, and she also had to talk to Billy about boarding school for the kids. She knew Billy would feel blindsided and he wouldn’t like that he was the reason she wanted to send the kids away. After Victoria left, Nate visited Ashland. They hugged. Ashland said there had been no further spread of the cancer. Nate thought that was fantastic. Ashland had almost been afraid to believe it. At Nate’s suggestion, they made plans for a double date.

Billy was at Crimson Lights. The blonde woman in the dark clothes and sunglasses who recorded him yesterday, at Society, was there. He glanced over at her as she took a seat in a corner booth. Victoria came in and asked how he was. He said he was fair to middling, and he’d do better once he got something stronger than coffee. She thought it was a little early. He said that he was going to go gambling and lose a small fortune, like she expected him to. He sarcastically said he wouldn’t want to disappoint. She was worried he was falling into a dark place. “That’s what I do, Vic,” he said. She hoped this was his anger talking. She said she thought the kids should go to boarding school after the holidays.

Billy asked if Victoria thought this or if she’d already decided it. Victoria already found a school and both children had already been accepted. She knew it wasn’t easy to hear, but she believed it was for the best – there had been so much family drama, and Billy was obviously going through a lot. She said it wouldn’t be forever, maybe until the end of the quarter or the end of the year. It was a fantastic school, and she thought the kids would love it. She was caught off guard when Billy said he thought it was a good idea. She was grateful for the way he was handling it. He said not to read too much into it because it didn’t mean that everything was copacetic between them. He said even if she bought ChancComm so he didn’t have to watch Adam bleed it dry, it didn’t negate everything that came before this. She asked like what. He said he was right about her husband’s past, and he told her not to deny it because he knew she was involved in the plan to set a trap for him. That was what hurt him the most. He knew the others were capable of that, but he didn’t realize that she was too. “I thought you were better,” he said. He walked out.

Billy went home and called the boarding school that Johnny and Katie would be attending. He asked the head of the school to shield the children from any publicity about the Newman and Abbott families.

Chelsea surprised Chloe at Society. Chelsea was home for good. Then she clarified that it was for now. After a happy reunion, Chloe asked if Adam knew Chelsea was back. Chelsea had started to tell him several times that she might be coming home, but he kept cutting her off saying it wasn’t a good time. Chloe thought Adam should make time for the mother of his child, but she conceded that he did have a lot on his mind – he and Billy were at war again. Chelsea sighed that some things never changed. Chelsea wanted to know what was going on at Newman Fashion. Chloe asked if Chelsea was ready to come back to work with her. Chelsea needed a moment to breathe. She also needed to meet Sally first. And Connor was her priority. Chloe suggested that Chelsea could bring Connor by the office and talk to Adam about going to work. Chelsea said she’d talk to Adam soon enough, but her son came first.

Chelsea went to the main house and talked with Nikki. She said Anita was doing better and didn’t need her help. Chelsea wanted to see Connor as soon as he came home from school. Nikki asked about Chelsea’s emotional state. Chelsea said she completed her therapy, and the court lifted all the restrictions. Nikki thought that was reassuring. Chelsea felt centered and grounded. She hated being away from Connor, but being away from some of the other people in Genoa city had been helpful for her counseling. Nikki asked what the doctor thought. Chelsea said she wouldn’t be allowed to be here if he didn’t approve. Nikki was curious about Chelsea’s plans and expectations.

Chelsea’s goal was to reconnect with her son. Nikki asked if Chelsea spoke to Adam. Chelsea stated that what she discussed with Adam was her private business. Victor and Adam entered unexpectedly. They were there because the ranch guard alerted Victor that Chelsea was on the premises. Chelsea said she came in peace, and Adam noted that no one said otherwise. Chelsea was glad Adam was here so they could talk before Connor got out of school. She was excited to spend the holiday with Connor. At Nikki’s suggestion, she and Victor stepped out. Adam said Connor would be excited. Adam just wished Chelsea told him he was coming. She said she tried more than once, but he was always too busy to talk. He had a lot going on, but he was sorry he didn’t make time. She said Chloe told her about a war between Adam and Billy. He said Chloe was always over-exaggerating – it was just business. Adam said seeing Chelsea in person was better than video chatting. He thought she looked happy and confident. She was all that and more. She knew it’d take time to convince him of that, but for now, she was happy to be back. He was glad she was back too.

Lily ran into Chloe at Crimson Lights. They talked about their kids who were all doing well. Lily congratulated Chloe on the buzz that Sally generated for the platform. Chloe congratulated Lily on becoming CEO of Chancellor. Lily said thanks, but it wasn’t a big deal. Chloe assumed Lily was downplaying it because of Billy. Chloe was sure Billy was thrilled, but knowing him the way she did, she bet he was freaking out and swearing vengeance on his enemies. Lily asked why Chloe was so interested in Billy’s state of mind. Chloe didn’t have a hidden agenda. She was just concerned. Chloe knew about the Ashland story being retracted and ChancComm being for sale. She was worried bout the implications for Billy. Lily said it had nothing to do with Chloe. Chloe disagreed. She always used to think she’d never get over what happened with Adam – she’d wanted him dead, and she was willing to do it. Lily said Chloe found a way to coexist and work with Adam. Chloe said she worked with Victor too, but she’d never fully trust him or Adam. She would never forget what Adam did, but she found a way to move forward. She didn’t think Billy ever found a way to let go of the past. But maybe things were different this time, because of Lily.

Lily felt she and Billy were lucky to have each other. Chloe said Lily had two attributes – Billy adored her, and she wasn’t a Newman. Lily thought Billy would get through this latest chapter in his life just fine. Chloe knew loving someone meant believing in them, but she said not to let it become blind faith. Chloe said Billy was brilliant in his own confounding way, and he had this self confidence that spilled over onto people who cared about him. It made them think he had everything under control, until they realize he didn’t and it all fell apart. Lily thought those days were behind Billy. Chloe hoped that was right, and she hoped for the best for Lily and Billy.

Ashland, Nate and Elena had a meal at Society while they waited for Victoria. Ashland talked about the importance of making time for friends. Victoria arrived. Elena watched Ashland and Victoria interacting, and she thought it was cute how they were still such newlyweds. Ashland said when he received his diagnosis, nothing was guaranteed, but he made it to his wedding, then Thanksgiving and now he was closing in on Christmas with the love of his life. Ashland and Victoria kissed. Elena asked about Ashland and Victoria’s Christmas plans. They were staying in town so Ashland could experience a Newman Christmas. Ashland was making the day extra special. Victoria resumed trying to figure out what Ashland’s surprise was, and he said she’d have to be patient. Elena and Nate had to work, but she’d requested the same days off as Nate, so hopefully they could spend the holiday together. Elena and Nate had to go to work now, but the all made plans to see each other again soon.

Victoria said that was what she needed. Ashland could tell something was bothering Victoria. Victoria said that the talk with Billy was civil, but profoundly disconcerting. She was relieved Bill was okay with sending the kids to boarding school, but it concerned her that he didn’t put up much of a fight. She said he loved those kids more than anything in the world, and she blindsided him with a unilateral decision to send them away. Ashland didn’t understand why Victoria was disappointed Billy agreed with her. She said she knew it sounded ridiculous, but Billy was a jerk for the rest of the conversation, and he’d been ready for a fight the moment she got there. Ashland was glad Victoria didn’t give Billy a fight. She said it wasn’t easy holding back. Billy had expressed his extreme disappointment in her and lingering suspicion and disapproval in Ashland. Ashland was sorry Victoria had to deal with that, but they could handle Billy. She wasn’t sure what they were handling. She could tell there was something going on with Billy.

Elena and Nate went to Crimson Lights because she forgot her work ID upstairs in her apartment. He said that if she lived with him, he could’ve reminded her to bring it. Startled, she asked if he was inviting her to move in with him.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Lucas walks through the town square and finds Rafe. Lucas asks if there’s any update on Philip. Rafe says the search team is still working. Lucas wants the truth and asks if Rafe thinks Philip is dead. Rafe responds that they are working under the assumption that he’s still alive but they did find his prosthetic leg and the blood at the scene is Philip’s type. Lucas knows all that but doesn’t know why the hell he hasn’t arrested Brady yet.

Nicole calls Brady and leaves a message, saying that Chloe told her about this whole mess with Philip and asks him to call her back when he gets a chance. Nicole hangs up as there’s a knock at the door and Sami arrives. Nicole tells her that Allie’s not here. Sami says she will wait. Nicole tells her to wait in the car and tries to shut the door on her. Sami tries to stop her while Nicole argues that it’s her house. Sami shouts that it was her bed and husband that Nicole slept with last night. Sami complains about what Nicole did to her. Nicole then pulls Sami inside and decides they are going to have a little talk.

EJ brings Susan home to the DiMera Mansion. EJ asks if she needs a doctor but Susan says it’s her soul, not her body, that’s in trouble. EJ promises to take care of her now. Susan responds that she’s not worried about herself, but about Marlena since she’s possessed by the Devil. Susan says the thing that Marlena has become is after Ciara’s unborn baby.

Shawn hugs Ciara and is glad she’s back. Ciara notes that he’s kind of intense as Shawn questions where she has been. Ciara responds that she was with Ben and Marlena which Shawn questions. Ciara says there’s something she has to tell him about John. Shawn stops her and says to let him tell her something about Marlena first.

Ben tells Marlena that Ciara isn’t here and must have gone out the back way. Marlena worries that they can’t let her go back to Salem. Ben says he’s sorry as he knew she was upset but didn’t think she would run away. Marlena worries that if Ciara goes back, John will get the truth out of her and then he will come here to kill her. Marlena declares they have to stop her and opens the door of the cabin right as John arrives. Marlena shuts the door and tells Ben that John is here to kill her. Ben responds that he will have to get by him first. John then kicks the door open and enters the cabin.

Ciara asks Shawn what about Marlena. Shawn asks if she hurt her. Ciara says no and asks why Marlena would hurt her. Shawn realizes Ciara doesn’t know. Ciara demands to know what she doesn’t know. Shawn then reveals that Marlena is possessed again.

John warns Ben to leave them alone. Ben says there’s no damn way that’s going to happen and tells John to get the hell out of here. John asks if Marlena recruited Ben. Ben says all she had to do was tell him what John has been doing to her and that is over now. Ben tells John to either get out or he’s going to throw him out. John tells Ben to listen first. Ben tells John that he’s never going to hurt her again. John asks if he really thinks he would hurt Marlena and argues that Marlena is doing nothing but lying to him. Ben argues that Marlena doesn’t lie. John responds that she doesn’t, but that thing does.

Susan calls Ciara, leaving a message to call her and to not go near Marlena because she is not herself, she is the Devil and she needs to keep her baby away from him. EJ encourages Susan to calm down. Susan says she just needs to figure this out as she doesn’t know what to do. EJ says she’s done everything she could. EJ tells her to let him take care of her. Susan complains that the Devil doesn’t want people to believe her. EJ says there are a lot of people that will look after Ciara so he wants to look after her. Susan calls him such a good son. EJ feels he’s a terrible son, father, husband, brother, and person, but the Devil doesn’t bother him like he bothers Susan so he will fight him for her. Susan argues that EJ underestimates the Devil. Susan talks about the Devil making her choose between EJ and John and how she almost had to stab John.

Rafe assures Lucas that Brady isn’t going anywhere, but if they move too soon and they get Melinda to issue a warrant and try to build a case, they won’t be able to do it and it will be that much harder to bring charges later. Rafe tells Lucas to wait if he wants justice for Philip. Lucas complains that it’s killing Kate. Rafe says he’s sorry but they are not giving up. Rafe adds that he actually wanted to talk to him about Sami since he heard Sami was kidnapped right outside his back door which Lucas confirms. Rafe asks Lucas about finding Sami in Wisconsin. Rafe mentions that he’s been trying to get a hold of her because he thought she’d want to file a complaint but he hasn’t heard anything. Lucas tells him that Sami has been a little preoccupied. Rafe assumes he means because of worrying about Marlena. Lucas says you would think so but Sami’s lost EJ and that demands she make a total ass out of herself.

Nicole tells Sami that she slept with a man who is in the process of divorcing a woman that he despises, so she didn’t do anything to her. Sami argues that EJ is her husband. Nicole complains that Sami meticulously planned to destroy her marriage and it was personal as she made sure it hurt as much as possible. Sami argues that she was protecting her brother. Nicole argues that Sami doesn’t give a crap about Eric or she wouldn’t have put him in the spotlight with his mother there. Nicole says that Sami’s brother was just collateral damage to her. Nicole adds that Sami doesn’t care about EJ either and this is just a distraction from the clear truth that EJ didn’t need a nurse anymore and she wasn’t woman enough. Nicole declares that she didn’t do this, Sami did.

Rafe questions Lucas thinking that Sami is trying to get EJ back. Rafe will never understand what Sami sees in EJ. Lucas says all those years, she nursed EJ back to health and he treats her like dirt. Lucas suggests finding EJ in bed with another woman is the last straw which Rafe questions. Lucas reveals that Sami caught EJ in bed with Nicole.

Sami accuses Nicole of sleeping with EJ to get back at her. Nicole responds that she saw the divorce papers weeks ago and that EJ didn’t serve her because she was missing. Nicole says she didn’t break up her marriage because it was already over and Sami lost him. Nicole adds that EJ knows who Sami is and wants no part of her. Nicole tells Sami that she can blame her but unlike her and Eric, there was no outside intervention to break up her marriage as Sami did that all on her own. Nicole asks if Sami is happy now. Sami says no and turns away. Nicole doesn’t think this is a good time to talk to Allie so she suggests Sami go for a drive or take a walk or something. Sami gets upset and tries to slap Nicole but Nicole catches her arm. They call each other a bitch as they argue until Allie walks in and questions what the hell is going on here.

EJ asks Susan if she really thinks John and Shawn will let anything happen to Ciara or the baby now that they know the truth. EJ encourages that Susan did her job and now the baby is safe because of her so she literally beat the Devil. Susan says he knows just what to say. Susan feels Sami must be worried sick about Marlena, so she suggests EJ give Sami a call and make her feel better like he just did for her. EJ responds that as far as he’s concerned, Sami can join her mother in Hell and stay there.

Shawn talks to Ciara about how the Devil has been biding his time for the last 25 years, waiting for the right opportunity to take over Marlena’s body again but first he got to Doug. Ciara asks if Doug is okay now. Shawn confirms that he is and talks about how he called the Devil out on Thanksgiving. Shawn asks Ciara where Marlena is now. Ciara responds that she’s still with Ben.

John tells Ben that everything Marlena has been telling him is a lie. Devil Marlena argues that John is the one lying and that he’s not the person he claims to be. John brings up 25 years ago. Marlena claims to be frightened that John would actually kill her. Ben says that’s not going to happen. John tells Ben to ask anyone about 25 years ago. Ben warns that he’s giving John one last chance to get the hell out of here because he saw the way John showed up at his apartment, screaming and yelling, banging on his door while saying he was going to kill Marlena. John tells Ben that he’s late to the game as it wasn’t him, it was her. Marlena argues that it’s not true. John tells Ben to stop listening to Marlena and start listening to him. John says that is not the woman that made Ben well, it’s not Dr. Evans. Devil Marlena then raises her hand behind Ben and uses his powers to choke John, preventing him from saying that she’s the Devil. John tries to rush her but Ben knocks John out with a punch.

Lucas tells Rafe that he rescued Sami and when they got back, she went right back to EJ. Lucas says it may be for the best since that’s when she found EJ with Nicole. Rafe mentions running in to EJ and Nicole at the mansion last night but he didn’t realize. Lucas jokes about their sweet tender love affair and says it makes him sick. Lucas notices that it bothers Rafe too. Rafe states that Nicole is his friend and EJ is human garbage so it does bother him. Lucas gets it but selfishly he hopes it makes Sami open her eyes, because he wants her back.

Allie remarks that it’s so nice for Sami to drop by and suggests they go get a coffee or take a walk. Sami says she’s fine. Nicole decides she will go since she has errands to run. Allie tells Nicole that she’s sorry. Sami tells Allie not to apologize for her. Nicole says she knows Sami is upset but tells her to never do this again. Nicole then exits. Sami tells Allie that she came to see her and she didn’t start this. Allie mocks that she never does. Sami knows her feelings for Nicole and how she owes her so much. Sami informs Allie that she just found Nicole in bed with her husband last night.

Susan tells EJ not to talk about Sami like that after everything she’s done for him. EJ asks what about having sex with her ex husband which shocks Susan. EJ reveals that he has served her with divorce papers. Susan can’t believe it as she thought they were devoted to each other 100%. EJ says she obviously thought wrong and he doesn’t want to talk about this because he wants to make sure Susan rests and relaxes. Susan doesn’t want to rest and relax, she wants to hear about the story. Susan wants EJ to tell her about the whole thing.

Ciara tells Shawn that Marlena told them that John had been beating her, so she wanted them to take her somewhere safe and far away from Salem. Ciara says she was skeptical but Ben totally believed her and related to what he went through as a child. Ciara adds that John showed up and it was like something she’d never seen before as he was crazy and threatening to kill her. Shawn points out that it was as if it was on cue. Shawn doesn’t think that was John as the Devil has weird crazy powers. Shawn brings up how the Devil broke the handcuffs on Thanksgiving and threw him across the room to knock him out. Ciara and Shawn worry about what it was if it wasn’t John.

John wakes up tied to a chair and tries to tell Ben that Marlena is not herself but she puts a gag over his mouth and says that’s enough of his lies. Marlena then grabs a knife. Ben questions what the hell she is doing. Marlena declares that she’s going to make sure John never hurts her ever again. Ben tells her that John is tied up so he can’t hurt her or anyone else ever again. Ben assures that she’s safe. She argues that he needs to pay. Ben says that’s not up to them. Ben reminds her that she taught him that violence won’t help her but hurt her. She says it’s so good to hear her words coming back and she’s so proud of Ben and grateful. Ben is glad that he could help her for once after all she’s done for him. Ben asks Marlena to drop the knife. Marlena says she’s asked too much of Ben already so it’s time for him to focus on himself, his wife, and their baby.

Ciara tells Shawn that she has to get to Ben before Marlena hurts him. Shawn stops her and reminds her that Susan said the Devil is after Ciara’s baby, so he’s not letting her go anywhere near Marlena.

EJ explains to Susan that Sami was sleeping with her ex-husband and was going to try to hide it from him as well. Susan brings up that EJ has done that once or twice. EJ doesn’t want to go there and says they are talking about the present. Susan asks how he found out. EJ admits it was Kristen which doesn’t surprise Susan. EJ informs Susan that he’s already started divorce proceedings but Susan says no and urges EJ to forgive Sami. Susan brings up all the time Sami spent with him in Italy to save him. EJ says he doesn’t feel inclined to forgive her but it might be too late anyways because last night, Sami caught him in bed with Nicole. Susan says here we go again.

Allie tells Sami that she’s so sorry. Sami asks how she feels about Nicole now. Allie is sorry she went through that after everything she’s already been through. Sami complains that being kidnapped and thrown in a room isn’t as bad as finding Nicole in her bed, gloating. Allie reminds her that she and Lucas tried to tell her not to go. Sami questions if she knew. Allie says no but that’s not the point. Sami argues that the point is that Nicole is vicious and vindictive. Allie doesn’t think they should be talking about what Nicole did wrong. Sami guesses she wants to talk about her. Allie suggests talking about EJ and talking about everything EJ has done wrong will take a hell of a long time.

Lucas tells Rafe that he gets that Nicole going back to EJ is like him taking a drink, no good could come from it, but he hopes it opens Sami’s eyes. Nicole then approaches and asks what they are talking about.

Ciara explains to Shawn that Susan left Nashville around the same time they found out about the baby and she came to warn them about some evil presence. Ciara says she convinced herself Susan was just being crazy. Shawn says he will go get Ben from Marlena and tells Ciara to stay here. Shawn says he will have Belle come over and that she is not to answer the door for anyone else. Ciara questions how she’s supposed to know if it’s even Belle after what happened with John. Shawn gives Ciara a safe word that Belle will know. Ciara continues to worry about the Devil. They apologize to each other. Ciara cries that she’s really scared as Shawn hugs her. Ciara tells Shawn to be careful as he exits.

Devil Marlena thinks to himself how it would be fun to finish John off, but Ben would be shocked to see Marlena Evans eviscerate her husband. The Devil laments how fun Ben used to be but says he needs Ben to get him to Ciara. The Devil adds that Shawn has probably already told her that Marlena is the Devil and the Devil is bad. The Devil remarks that this whole clan is nauseating. Marlena then tells Ben that they need to go to Salem, to the police. Ben thought she said they won’t believe them. Marlena declares that it’s time to trust that the truth will set them free. The Devil thinks to himself about the things he does for hate.

Allie tells Sami that she saw first hand what EJ did to her in Italy. Sami argues that he was in pain. Allie brings up when Sami was sad and alone and went back to Lucas, EJ showed no compassion and kicked her out of his life. Sami argues that it doesn’t mean that EJ doesn’t love at her. Allie yells at Sami to wake up and see that EJ has treated her like crap but she makes it everyone’s fault but his. Allie remarks that if EJ wanted a woman in his bed, he could just snap his fingers, but there’s nothing he could do to hurt her more than sleeping with Nicole. Allie adds that if Sami didn’t walk in on them, EJ would have made sure she found out. Allie tells Sami that Lucas has walked through fire for her and he loves her. Allie argues that Lucas likes and respects her and he’s on her side. Allie knows Sami and EJ was a love for the ages, but from where she sits, that love for the ages looks a lot more like life in prison with no parole.

Lucas tells Nicole that he and Rafe were just having guy talk. Lucas says he has somewhere to be but tells Rafe to let him know if he hears anything about Philip. Nicole mentions that she just heard about that and tells Lucas that she’s so sorry. Lucas thanks her and walks away. Nicole then sits with Rafe and guesses that they weren’t talking about Philip, but about her and Sami. Rafe admits that she’s right. Nicole guesses that Lucas told Rafe about her and EJ sleeping together last night.

Susan asks EJ if he and Nicole are serious. EJ responds that they are taking things slowly. EJ guesses that Susan doesn’t think Nicole is good enough for him, but she doesn’t think anyone is good enough for him. Susan responds that she changed her mind about Nicole. Susan argues that EJ wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for Sami. EJ admits that and says he tried to come back to start over with her, but then he found out she was unfaithful and would do whatever it takes to make sure he never found out. EJ guesses she intended to go on being unfaithful. Susan asks if EJ would’ve forgiven Sami if she was honest about it and argues that EJ had been doing the same thing. EJ argues that they were married but Susan calls him hypocritical. Susan argues that the Devil told her that EJ has already secured his place in Hell, so he needs to find the love in his heart to save his soul. EJ responds that the love in his heart is no longer for Sami. Susan doesn’t believe that and says Sami just hurt his feelings and wounded his pride, but he’s acting like a spoiled brat. Susan states that Sami was unfaithful, not to hurt him, but because she was grieving. Susan questions EJ turning his back on Sami and tells him to examine his conscience and ask if he still loves Sami. Susan says if he does, there’s still hope for his soul. Susan tells EJ to get himself together and walks out of the room.

Sami asks if Allie hates EJ. Allie responds that she hates the way he treats her and that Sami lets him. Allie understands after everything she went through to try to save him, it’s hard to think that was all not worth it. Sami says it was worth it but Allie feels EJ doesn’t think so. Allie complains that Sami has forgiven EJ but now EJ doesn’t forgive her and thinks he has the right to punish her. Allie asks how Sami feels when she’s with Lucas, if she feels bad and unworthy. Allie knows she can’t tell her how she feels but suggests something happened between her and Lucas, not just because she was lonely but because there’s always been something between them. Allie calls Lucas the first great love of Sami’s and maybe her last.

Nicole asks Rafe if he’s going to talk about how horrible EJ is or how dumb she is. Rafe says no. Nicole talks about how she started the day by trying to find out if her business partner was going to be charged with murder, then Sami showed up so she left so that Sami could tell Allie what a whore she is, and now she shows up here and her two friends are swapping details about her sex life. Rafe apologizes. Nicole tells him not to worry as she’s used to her private life being in the public domain. Rafe says he’s sorry that she’s unhappy because he thinks part of it is his fault.

Sami tells Allie that nobody really knows what goes on in a marriage except the two people in it. Sami knows she’s just trying to help her and admits that Lucas is a wonderful guy and she does love him. Sami cries that she shouldn’t have come here to burden her with all of this as it’s unfair to her. Allie thinks she needed to get it off her chest too and for her to know how she feels about EJ and Lucas. Sami hugs her and says she loves her. Sami decides she has someone to see and jokes that she usually only gets this kind of advice for Marlena and then ignores it. Allie asks how Marlena is. Sami responds that she doesn’t know, but she hopes John finds her and gets her safe before she hurts herself or someone else. Sami then exits.

Ciara tries calling Ben but it goes to voicemail. Ciara then gets a call from Susan, who says she’s been trying to reach her. Susan says she needs to warn her. Ciara says she knows about Marlena and the Devil.

Ben takes John’s keys and tells him he’s not going anywhere until the cops get here. Ben asks Marlena if she’s ready which she says she is, while the Devil’s inner thoughts remark that he’s ready to take Ben and Ciara’s unborn child. Ben goes to leave right as Shawn arrives at the cabin.

Ciara assures Susan that she’s safe, alone, and with the doors locked while Belle is on her way over. Ciara adds that Ben is alone with Marlena with Shawn on his way there. Ciara asks Susan to pray for them.

Ben tells Shawn that it’s good that he’s there as they were just coming to see him. Ben tells Shawn to arrest John for terrorizing Marlena. Shawn responds that Marlena is the one terrorizing John among others. Ben asks what he’s talking about. Shawn reveals that it’s happened again and this is not Marlena, it’s the Devil.

Lucas goes to see Allie and asks if she’s okay. Allie knows he has a lot going on with Philip missing and she’s worried about Marlena, but she thinks she has good news to share. Allie informs Lucas that she just had a long talk with Sami and thinks she got through to her. Lucas doesn’t believe it and says that never happens. Allie says usually not and there’s a chance she’s being overly optimistic, but she put in a good word for him and told her that Lucas, unlike EJ, treats her with respect and loves her. Allie knows Sami and Lucas still love each other. Lucas asks what Sami said. Allie says she mainly listened but she thinks Sami might finally be realizing that things are over between her and EJ and if she’s going to be with anyone, she’s going to be with Lucas.

EJ opens a drawer in the living room and finds his wedding ring. EJ thinks back to Susan telling him to be honest with himself about if he still loves Sami. Sami then enters the mansion.

Nicole asks if Rafe thinking it’s his fault is egotistical. Rafe says maybe but brings up what happened between them. Nicole reminds him that it’s over. Rafe asks if it is as he then grabs Nicole and kisses her.

Billy: Ah. Can I get another one, please? Thank you.

[ Sighs ] Ah, yeah, that explains it. Could feel the joy being sucked out of the room. What are you doing here?

Victor: Well, I certainly am not sitting at a bar in the middle of the day, wallowing in self-pity and my failures.

Billy: Thank you, sir.

Victor: Is that the first one?

Billy: Ah. I think you know it’s not. I’m having an adult beverage. There’s worse things a man can do.

Victor: [ Laughs ] You certainly would know, wouldn’t you?

Billy: You know, Victor, the last time I saw you, I was a groveling, sniffling mess.

Victor: You were.

Billy: I played the sacrificial lamb, laid myself at your feet, asking for mercy. That’s not gonna happen again.

Victor: Oh?

Billy: So if you’re looking for that today, you’re gonna be disappointed

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

Victor: So, Billy boy, i understand that Victoria and Ashland made a preemptive offer for ChanceCom.

Billy: That is right, they did.

Victor: Hmm. Good move on their part.

Billy: You know, when I came to you and offered to step down from ChanceCom in order to make sure that Llily could run the company on her own without interference, thought I was gonna hear from you. But now I understand that all you want to do is watch me squirm.

Victor: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: Wait for ChanceCom to lose some value so you can come in and swoop it up. Except now you have some competition.

Victor: Do you think that you mommy, Jill, is going to accept the offer?

Billy: Do you think that I’m gonna tell you that?

Victor: Do you know why i think Victoria made that preemptive offer? To spare you the humiliation of losing to Adam. In other words, Victoria came to your rescue. Huh? But no matter how you turn this, no matter what direction you will go in, you’ll have to face the music. You’re gonna have to pay the consequence of your actions.

You are approached by a reporter.

Lily: Newman Media or another outlet?

Billy: Your choice. They ask you what the hell you’re thinking staying with the man that tanked your entire empire.

Lily: I know.

Billy: Why not just, you know, cut him loose and wash your hands of the whole thing?

Lily: You know, I would say i should, but I love him, we’re partners, and I believe in second chances.

Billy: Wow, I was half-joking, but that is one of the nicest things you’ve ever said to me.

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

Ashland: 10 — that’s how many times you’ve checked the phone since we arrived.

Victoria: Are you keeping tabs on me?

Ashland: Well, you’re worse than I am. You know, when I was on the verge of making a killing, I couldn’t keep my eyes off my screen. I was always checking to see if the prey I was after had rolled over in defeat.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

 

Abby: Sorry. Dominic was fussy.

Chance: What were you saying?

Abby: [ Chuckles ] I was saying I’m sorry that it took me so long to get dominic down. I thought you were probably bored down here, all alone, but it looks like you found a way to pass the time.

I sure did. Truth is, I asked dom for some help, right? I just needed him to keep mommy a little bit occupied so I could set up down here. Champagne?

Abby: Thank you. Should I be worried that our son, who’s only a few months old, is already plotting and hatching schemes?

Chance: Oh, no, no, no, no. He had the best intentions in mind.

Abby: What a thoughtful infant.

Chance: I know, right? And get this — he even gave the nanny the night off.

Abby: He’s already making personnel decisions, too?

Chance: Can you believe it?

Abby: [ Gasps ] Well, it looks like we’re almost all alone.

Chance: Hmm. “Almost”? What do you mean?

Abby: Your grandmother.

Chance: Ahh. See, jill is staying the night in chicago tonight. Work thing.

Abby: So it’s just the two of us…

Chance: Mm-hmm.

Abby: …All alone…

Chance: Mm.

Abby: …In this very big house. Whatever shall we do to pass the time?

Chance: Hmm.

[ Glasses clink ]

Amanda: Oh. I thought you were gonna spend the whole night in the shower. It must have felt good after your run, huh?

Devon: It felt great, yeah. What’s — what’s happening here? I thought we were gonna go out.

Amanda: Ah, well, that was a decoy.

Devon: A decoy?

Amanda: Mm-hmm.

Devon: I smell something really good from the kitchen, too.

Amanda: Mm-hmm. I, um, wanted to surprise you, so I threw together some shrimp and snow peas and saffron rice. It has a little kick to it, so i hope you can handle the heat.

Devon: I think you already know the answer to that question.

Amanda: Mm. Good. And don’t get used to me cooking you gourmet dinners because after imani and I open the firm, I am gonna be very, very busy.

Devon: Ah. Well… now, I only see two plates here. What do you know that I don’t?

Amanda: Well, I know that moses is watching the game with nate. So it’s just the two of us tonight. Is that a problem?

Devon: No, I don’t have a problem at all.

Noah: [ Exhaling sharply ]

[ Sniffles ]

[ Sighs ]

Adam: Noah. Let me, uh — let me buy you a drink.

Noah: Uh…I don’t know.

Adam: So, you meeting someone? Or hoping to meet someone? I promise I won’t cramp your style. We can sit at opposite ends of the bar, if that helps.

Noah: Sure. Why not? I think you’ve earned that privilege.

[ Sighs ]

Nick: Mom! Mom?

Victor: What happened?

Nick: I got a text from mom. She said I got to come right over. What happened?

Victor: I have no clue. What’s that all about?

Nikki: I’ll tell you. I am sick and tired of the tension between the two of you. I’ve had enough of it, and the holidays are fast approaching.

Nick: [ Sighs ] That’s the emergency?

Nikki: Well, the two of you seem determined to ruin them over this ridiculous standoff, but not if I have anything to say about it. And believe me — I do. Serena: It’s my 3:10

Nick: Mother, I love you, but I do not appreciate the phony urgent message.

Nikki: Well, I’m sorry, but it was the most efficient method I had in getting you here.

Nick: I’m sure dad doesn’t like it, either.

Victor: No, no, on the contrary. I think it’s good if you and i can talk things out, okay? And if your mother used some subterfuge to get you here, that’s alright.

Nick: Clearly you learned this trick from him.

Nikki: Look, I am willing to do whatever it takes to keep this family together, and i don’t need anyone’s influence or permission to do that.

Victor: Sweetheart, we appreciate your efforts.

Nikki: Good. I’m going to leave you to sort that out, but I will not be far in case there’s trouble.

Victor: Okay, okay. Mm-hmm. So, son, what’s up?

Nick: I mean, why even try? We have talked about this a thousand times. Nothing ever gets settled.

Victor: We haven’t talked about this a thousand times. We’ve talked about this once, at your sister’s wedding, in the heat of the moment. And since that time, you’ve been avoiding me.

Nick: I’ve been busy.

Victor: Oh, yeah? Well, so have I, son. That’s why I didn’t press the issue, okay? Now, I guess most other conflicts have been solved. I mean, chance is home. Abby has her family. Victoria is happily married to ashland locke. And billy boy was kept at bay.

Nick: Thanks to adam.

Victor: Yeah. Your mother was very effective in neutralizing billy boy abbott. She doesn’t like him, you know, especially after that exposé that billy boy published.

Nick: Well, I’m not gonna defend billy, especially to you.

Victor: Please don’T.

Nick: And I can understand why you would bring up my siblings. I mean, they all seem pretty cool with the way you’re behaving. You want to work things out with me, you begin by playing us against each other. Not a great start.

Noah: So, the real question is, did you come here hoping to meet someone?

Adam: Uh, that is the furthest thing from my mind at this point.

Noah: Mm.

Adam: All I’m focused on is the business and my son.

Noah: Yeah, but you got some holiday parties coming up, right?

Adam: Mm. A few.

Noah: So, who you taking? Now, I remember you brought sally to the wedding in italy.

Adam: Mm. No. We’re just colleagues. That was, um — that was all about getting the dress she designed in victoria’s hands. Why you asking about sally? Are you, uh, interested in her?

Noah: No. [ Clears throat ] No, I was — I was just wondering. Connor had mentioned that chelsea might be coming home soon.

Adam: I hope she does. Be good for connor… and for newman media.

Noah: But not for you?

Adam: [ Sighs ] The, uh — the way that we flamed out, that was enough to scare me away from relationships altogether. So I will leave the romance to people who are much better at it than I am.

Abby: Thank you.

[ Laughter ]

[ Indistinct speaking ]

[ Laughter ] Oh, look at this one. Honestly, I thought I was getting my floors cleaned.

Devon: I got to tell you, I was very, very impressed with how delicious that dinner was.

Amanda: Yeah?

Devon: Uh-huh.

Amanda: Good, because i really wanted to surprise you. I didn’t want to go out again.

Devon: Oh, no, it was a great idea. We didn’t have to worry about running into anybody, and it could just be the two of us.

Amanda: Yeah. And it was nice to just decompress after the past few weeks that we’ve had.

Devon: I know, and if i haven’t said thank you enough for how patient you were while dominic was staying with us…

Amanda: You have thanked me many, many times. And you don’t have to, okay? Dominic is — he’s adorable, and he is the sweetest little baby.

Devon: I know, but it’s still not what you signed up for when you moved in here.

Amanda: Maybe it’s not, but, you know, I have to admit that i really have loved seeing that side of you. You know, I just — [ Chuckles ] You’re so sweet and nurturing, not to mention sexy as hell.

Devon: [ Laughs ] Well, I’m just happy that I was able to be there, you know, able to step up like that. I made a promise to dominic the day he was born that I’d always be there for him, so it’s — no. It’s good. I’m happy that chance is back home now and, you know, that everything can go back to normal.

Amanda: You know, um… I-I get it. I really understand why you have to put on a happy face for abby and for chance, but it’s just the two of us. You can tell me how you really feel.

Devon: That’s what I’m doing.

Amanda: No. I can tell that there’s a lot more in your heart that you’re not letting out. And you can trust me with this, okay? How do you feel now that dominic’s gone?

Devon: How do I feel? I mean, I got used to him being around here, so…

Amanda: And?

Devon: I miss him… every single day. I miss him so much that it hurts.

Abby: What are you thinking about?

Chance: [ Smooches ] Nothing. My, uh, mind just wandered a little.

Abby: I’m just wondering what put that frown on your face.

Chance: It’s nothing. I promise. [ Smooches ]

Abby: Okay. You don’t have to tell me. Or maybe you can when you’re ready, someday.

Chance: What I keep coming back to…you know, the thought that I’m stuck with… is the way that I left when i did. I just left. Then I was gone. We didn’t talk about it or anything. I mean, that’s just so unfair to you.

Abby: Yeah, it was a bit shocking, coming home and just finding a letter explaining what happened, why you were leaving. But that’s your sense of duty. It’s one of the things I fell in love with.

Chance: Yeah, that was my rationale at the time. It was my duty. I had to go. I mean, I don’t know. Looking back on it now, i just…

[ Sighs ] I think there might have been more to it.

Abby: What do you mean?

Chance: I mean, I think some of it had to do with what was going on between us.

Victor: Son, I honestly don’t know what you’re getting at. I mean, do you think that I have paid more attention to your siblings or what?

Nick: You know what? You can try and frame it like that, but that is not the case.

Victor: Mm.

Nick: I’m very glad that you’ve been able to help some of your children through some difficult times. I’m sure they appreciate the support. They may even think it’s gonna last.

Victor: You know that I’ll always be there for my children.

Nick: Yeah, but, see, your support is conditional. You know, it’s contingent upon us toeing the line. Vick and abby — they run businesses that you approve of. They’re in marriages that you approve of.

Victor: [ Breathes deeply ]

Nick: Why you were cool with ashland I will never understand, but maybe it’s just enough that he’s not billy. And adam? Wow. I mean, what more could anyone ask for, right? He’s loyal, follows your rules, obeys your orders. He’s no longer with chelsea, who I know you never trusted.

Victor: Never will.

Nick: But I know this period of peace and tranquility is temporary because someday soon one of them’s gonna do something that you don’t like. They’re gonna make a business decision that you disagree with or get involved with someone that you don’t care for. And then the tables will be turned because no one’s really on super solid ground with you, dad. One disagreement, and all of a sudden you’re on the outside.

Victor: And you think that’s what I’ve done to you?

Nick: Yeah. I do.

Victor: Son, why would I kick you outside? I mean, I don’t understand that. Why? Because I didn’t ask you to join me in getting rid of gaines at victoria’s wedding? Or because I didn’t ask you to help me contain billy boy’s disturbance at the wedding? Was that the test that I didn’t pass?

Abby: Alright, so, I am a little confused. What was going on between us that sent you running off to spain?

Chance: Baby, I shouldn’t have put it that way. I’m sorry. I didn’t want to leave you.

[ Sighs ] It was just — it was really hard on me, the feeling that i let you down.

Abby: What are you talking about? You’re the perfect husband.

Chance: No, I’m not. No, I’m not, abby. I failed you. I couldn’t give you a baby. I couldn’t do that for you.

Abby: No. But I thought that you had come to terms with what we had to do. I thought that you had made peace with it.

Chance: No, I — it was how I wanted to feel, not how I actually did.

Abby: Well, I wish you would have told me. I would have understood.

Chance: I know. I know, baby. And I’m — I’m sorry. I just wanted to explain what was going on in my head at the time. I-I hate saying it. I hate it. But it was almost a relief, you know, going on a mission. I knew I was good at that. At least, I thought I was good at that. But I never thought that I would be gone for so long. I thought it was gonna be a couple weeks, a month at tops, I promise.

Abby: Yeah. I thought that you’d be home before the baby was born.

Chance: I know. Me too. I understand if you’re angry at me. I mean, you have every right to be.

Abby: No. I have no room in my heart for anger because I am just so happy that you’re home. And, look, let me make one thing very clear. I wouldn’t have had a baby if it weren’t for you. I mean, this whole idea, this plan to start a family — that was all you. And I never would have been able to have the courage to follow through with it if I didn’t have your full support. So, yes, we did need help from friends to make our dream a reality, but when I look at our beautiful baby boy… all I see is this gift, this gift that you gave me. And when I thought that you weren’t gonna come home, that you wouldn’t be able to meet your son [Sighs] It killed me. So I just want you to know that, yes, you have some things that you’re going through, but you’re home. And I know that you are gonna be the most amazing father.

Amanda: I think that it’s perfectly normal for you to miss dom. You threw yourself into caring for him, and you have such a unique bond.

Devon: Yeah. I just — I never knew that — how much babies can communicate without even speaking. ‘Cause, like, I swear that i would — I would be able to know what he was feeling and what he was thinking and what his little sounds meant, you know, when he was tired or when he was hungry, and know, like, just the right things to do to get him to smile or to get him to go to bed. I’m sure chance will learn all that stuff, too.

Amanda: Yeah. I’m that he will. But I know that that doesn’t make it any less of a loss for you now that dom isn’t living here.

Devon: I don’t want you to get me wrong, either. I don’t want you to think that I’m not happy that chance is back ’cause I am.

Amanda: I know.

Devon: You know?

Amanda: Of course.

Devon: It’s just that everyone started to assume that I was gonna take over that role in dominic’s life. And even abby said it. She said that I’m — I’m the only father he’ll ever know.

Amanda: Well, that’s because she believed that at the time.

Devon: No, yeah, and so did I. Or I started to let myself believe it. I started letting myself believe that he’d call me dad one day. But he’s not gonna do that, and I have to let go of that idea. And I’m just — I’m — I haven’t figured out how to do that yet.

Amanda: It’s gonna be okay. Okay? You know, this feeling that you’re feeling right now, this pain — it’s just — it’s because you — you give away pieces of your heart. But that’s also what makes you such a good man.

Devon: I don’t know about that ’cause what I’m feeling seems like it’s selfish.

Amanda: No. No. It is not selfish. It is completely understandable. The bond that you have with dominic — it is not gonna change, no matter what he calls you. He’s always gonna know that you have his back. Devon, everyone that you love knows how lucky they are to have you in their lives. I hope you know how loved you are in return.

Devon: I know that I love you. Thank you.

Amanda: Yeah?

Devon: Yeah.

[ Both chuckle ]

Nick: The situation in tuscany could have really backfired because you didn’t keep me in the loop. I was this close to disrupting victoria’s wedding.

Victor: But you didn’t, so why are you upset about it now?

Nick: I’m saying it could have been a disaster because i didn’t have all the information. You turned to adam and shut me out.

Victor: Has it ever occurred to you that adam might have been looking for an opportunity to prove himself, that he wanted to do something that made him acceptable to the family? You never had to do that.

Nick: Don’t I?

Victor: You have often disapproved of your father’s actions, both in regard to family matters and business, right?

Nick: Yeah. Well, I think it bothers you that I have a conscience.

Victor: Do you think I was going to discuss the subtleties of morality with you in tuscany, in the midst of that crisis? You walked around as if you didn’t want to be there! So I turned to adam to assist me.

Nick: And I had no say in that matter.

Victor: I honestly did not think that you were even interested in that matter. You didn’t want your sister to get married to that guy! Right? So I didn’t think you had any input!

Nick: And there it is. If you know I’m gonna disagree with you, then you don’t have any need for me, do you? Can you understand why that would bother me?

New vicks convenience pack.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Abby: What are you doing?

Chance: I don’t think this thing is working right.

Abby: Yes, it is.

Chance: Well, I mean, i haven’t heard a noise in a long time. Have you?

Abby: Because dom is fast asleep. Hey, do not jinx it.

Chance: Okay, I’m just, like, a little worried about —

[ Dominic cooing ] Oh.

Abby: There you go.

Chance: There you go.

Abby: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. You feel better now?

Chance: Yeah.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] Don’t worry. You’ll get the hang of it. This is nice.

Chance: It sure is. I love it when it’s just you and me.

Abby: Yeah. That reminds me of when you were living in the hotel and we would stay up all night just talking about our future.

Chance: [ Chuckles ]

Abby: [ Yawns ]

Chance: Oh, you’re not staying up all night tonight, huh, sleepy?

Abby: [ Laughs ] Yes, yes, i am because I have — I have some questions I want to ask you.

Chance: Yeah? Like what?

Abby: Like what can I do to make this transition easier on you?

Chance: Oh, baby. You’re doing everything that you can.

Abby: Mm.

Chance: I got to do some of it on my own. I’ll promise you one thing. I will never prioritize work over family again.

Abby: Good. But I know how important work it to you.

Chance: Yeah, well, I’m gonna have to find a balance when i go back to the gcpd.

Abby: You know, don’t ever change for me. Who you are is exactly who i want you to be. Mm.

Chance: Close your eyes. Rest.

Noah: You know, we got so many good shots right there on the coffeehouse patio. Tess was really happy.

Adam: So, you just turned crimson lights into your own personal studio?

Noah: Yeah.

Adam: Your mom must have loved that.

Noah: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, well, you know how she is. Supportive, always down to help out.

Adam: That sounds like sharon.

Noah: And we also talked about your job offer.

Adam: Yeah? What’d she say?

Noah: She reminded me that we all make mistakes, told me that I shouldn’t hold your past against you and I should treat this opportunity just like any other and give you the chance to prove that you’re being sincere.

Adam: I did not tell her to say that, by the way.

Noah: Yeah. I believe you. It was good advice, though. It got me thinking.

Adam: Any conclusions?

Noah: [ Sighs ] I’ve decided to take you up on your offer.

Adam: I’m glad to hear that.

Victor: I think you’re reading too much into what happened in tuscany, alright? I did what I had to do. There was a crisis. I solved it.

Nick: And I’m guessing you aren’t gonna apologize for that.

Victor: Why the hell would I? I did everything in my power to ensure your sister’s happiness during her wedding! Besides that, I know what your advice would have been.

Nick: And you didn’t want to hear it.

Victor: No, I didn’T. What if I had come to you and said, “son, I’d like your advice, okay? Give it to me. Aha. Well, I don’t like it now. I’m going in a different direction.” What would you have done?

Nick: It would have been a start.

Victor: To hell with it. You would never have accepted it.

Nick: It doesn’t matter because that scenario never would happen because you don’t want to hear opposing viewpoints.

Victor: I’ve made my own judgments ever since I was a little boy! I grew up without parents! I built a huge empire and a family! Do you think I’m gonna apologize for what the hell I do?! Is that your test for me? Is that what I failed? So be it!

Chance: [ Sighs ]

[ Breathes deeply ]

Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

Victor: Sorry, son, that things got a little heated, okay? But I get the feeling that you’re sitting in judgment of me. I guess you don’t like what I’ve said.

Nick: Ah, you’re not the first person to say that.

Victor: Oh?

Nick: Phyllis, uh… she said something like that. She said that I, uh [Sighs] Would give her ultimatums, uh, about being who she was or we end the relationship.

Victor: I honestly don’t give a damn what that woman thinks. I just hope that, uh, you realize that you and I can disagree with one another without disrespecting each other, right? I mean, by the way, you’re the one who avoided me. To be frank with you, that was hurtful.

Nick: Yeah, uh…I know. It was just… so you know, I wasn’t doing that out of anger or frustration. You know, I’ve been really looking at the situation, talking to sharon about it. I’ve come to accept the fact that I have a huge part of this blame. I guess I hold people to different standards. You know, if they don’t, uh, fall in line with me, then i tend to wash my hands of them.

Victor: Well, wait a minute. That sounds like something i would be accused of.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] It does, doesn’t it?

Victor: Yeah. It does.

Nick: Well, then I guess my problem is that we are not too different. Maybe we’re too similar.

Victor: Yeah, well, you know, maybe we are. I’ve heard adam complain about the fact that he never knows where he stands with me. I’ve heard your sister utter the same sentiments. I just am who I am, you know? Not gonna change. But, son…you know that I would give my life for any of you.

Nick: I know you would. You just don’t always want to hear from us.

Victor: To be very honest with you, I don’t, you know? And I’m sure you’ll never have this conversation with your kids. You know, I got to tell you something. The reason you won’t have that conversation with them is because you have always been loving with them. You’ve always been there for them, from the very beginning, always been reassuring, you know? I bet you they feel very sure of themselves because of you. Which means… I think, in many ways, you have been a better father than I have been.

Devon: What are the odds of us running into each other twice in one day, man?

Chance: Well, I guess we’re just lucky, huh?

Devon: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. I’ll have what he’s having, please.

Chance: Oh, here. Have mine. I haven’t even touched it.

Devon: Oh. Is abby here?

Chance: No, she’s back at home, sleeping. Not a care in the world.

Devon: Amanda’s doing the exact same thing. And my question is, how do they do it?

Chance: Man, you are telling me. I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in a long time. You know, the seven-hour time difference still has me jacked up a little bit, so…

Devon: I can imagine. I wish I had a good excuse like that. I just can’t turn my mind off.

Chance: Yeah.

Devon: Hey, are you okay? Like, you doing alright? ‘Cause it kind of seems like you’re not.

When you have nausea,

[ Glasses clink ]

Devon: I hope I didn’t offend you.

Chance: No, man, no. Ahh. That’s very perceptive of you, actually.

Devon: Yeah?

Chance: No. I’m not okay. And — and it’s getting harder to pretend like I am.

Devon: Who you pretending for?

Chance: Feels like everyone.

Devon: Even abby?

Chance: I mean, I can — I can talk to her about some of it, but not everything.

Devon: Well, that’s unfortunate, man, ’cause I know that she would want to know what’s going on with you.

Chance: Yeah. You’re right. She would.

Devon: Yeah. She’d want to help you.

Chance: She absolutely would. She’d want to reassure me that everything is great and that i haven’t done anything wrong. And in her eyes, I’m the perfect husband and the perfect father.

Devon: You don’t see yourself like that?

Chance: Not even close.

Devon: Okay. Well, I mean, the fact that she does — that’s a good thing, right?

Chance: It’s just not who i am, man. I let her down before our baby was even born. I mean, I failed her.

Devon: I don’t know how you figure that you failed anybody. You’re home. You made it. You’re alive. You know, you have a brand-new son. You got a great wife.

Chance: Do I deserve it? You know, I made commitments to abby and dominic. I’m gonna do everything that i can to try to live up to them. But — but the question is, can I?

Nick: I never meant for this to turn into a “who’s the better father?” Contest.

Victor: Well, if that were the only contest, I wouldn’t mind losing it, you know? You know that every father wants his son to be better than them. You know that. And you are. Now, I certainly was a better father than that son of a bitch albert miller. But that was a low bar to clear.

Nick: Well, it’s pretty damn impressive, you know. You didn’t have any parents to teach you how to be a father.

Victor: No, I certainly didn’T. I didn’t have a mother or a father, you know? I just remember those dreadful people in that damn orphanage. Yeah. However, whatever good I’ve done in my life, I must say i attribute some of it to your mother.

Nick: She is amazing. But don’t sell yourself short, okay, dad?

Victor: [ Sighs ] Yeah, but, you know, in very important moments in my life, she has always been there with very good advice. She has helped me a lot. But I got to tell you something, son. You make me proud to be a grandfather. When I see you with your kids, it makes me happy. Makes me proud. Come here.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

you are doing great, mrs. M. Does that mean dr. Finn will release me today? I was just coming by to give you the good news. I know you can’t wait to get home. But what about me? Oh, I — I’m gonna miss you, mrs. M. I will miss you, too, dr. Ashford.

[ Chuckles ] Aunt stella?! Wha…

[ Laughs ] In the flesh! Oh, and I’m so darn proud of you right now, my heart’s about to fly right out of my chest! Look at you! Ah!

[ Laughs ] Marshall: You could tell tj the simple truth — I came back here to reconnect with my family. We are not and never will be your family. Nice place you got here. Spare a few minutes for an old friend? Drew. Sorry I’m late. Oh. I was finishing up a presentation for my art class and I just lost track of time. You care about what you’re doing. That is a good thing. Still, I told you how tough professor leckie is. I don’t want to blow this. You won’T. Your professor already told you you were gonna get an “a” because of the wonderful exhibition you put on at ava’s gallery. The presentation’s just icing on the cake.

[ Singsong voice ] My daughter is the star of pcu.

[ Laughs ] If that’s true, then why do I feel like such a loser? Don’t be disingenuous. Prison bars are no impediment to you. Even with peter in solitary, you still got people on the inside that can reach him. Look, peter’s not even on my radar. Alright. So, we both know that his arraignment is today. And, um… peter could be vulnerable during transportation to the courthouse. You giving me a roadmap? What are you guys talking about? I just found out. I’m sorry. I haven’t seen you since before… since before we knew jason was dead. I can’t imagine how difficult this has been for you. I wish peter had died when you pushed him down those stairs.

[ Respirator hissing,monitor beeping ] All those tubes, they — they don’t hurt him? He isn’t in any pain. Watching these sweet little babies probably reminds you of your own loss. Louise will be home someday. I just hope britt is saying the same thing to sasha and brando about their baby. I know how difficult these last few days have been for you. It’ll be all worth it if you’re here to tell us that we can take liam home today. That is why you’re here, right?

I’m sorry. Liam won’t be going home with you today. S-so tomorrow, then? Yeah, or the day after? Let’s start first with the results of liam’s eeg. I’m so sorry. The tests indicate liam has brain damage. Anna was just telling me that peter august, uh, his arraignment’s today. Any chance peter’s gonna confess and be locked up for life? I don’t know. I just was with him in pentonville, and he’s still under the illusion that he and maxie and their baby are gonna be reunited. Oh, my god. They have to find the baby first. Yeah. Okay, peter’s responsible for jason’s death. There’s no way in hell he’s going free.

[ Cellphone rings ] No. Excuse me. I have to take this.

[ Sighs ] Sonny. [ Scoffs ] I can — I can guarantee that peter august has no future. How could you feel like a loser? It can’t be your grades. You said that you were doing well in all of your classes. Has something changed? Kind of. What is it? You know that cam and joss are together. Mm-hmm. So are spencer and esme — since boarding school, I guess. And you’re feeling like the fifth wheel? We’re all supposed to go away for a weekend, and I already know that esme will take every opportunity to remind me I don’t have anybody in my life. Well, of course she will. You want to know why? Because she is threatened by your smarts and your talent. You have to say that. You’re my mom. Does it really bother you that much, not having a boyfriend? I thought I raised you to be independent and not attach your self-esteem onto someone else. You did. And you were my role model. After you and dad split up, you hardly dated anyone. You were all about me and medicine. Mm-hmm. Until you and curtis met up again. W-we’re not talking about me right now, trina. We are now. Oh. For a while, it seemed like you and curtis were getting serious, and now I hardly see you two together. What happened? Now, you better tell me that somebody let you know that I was alive. Well, sam came in about a month ago, said she got a call. Okay. She believed it was from you. She was convinced you were alive, man, and she couldn’t be reasoned out of it. Well, tenacity, that’s just sam’s middle name, right? Well, it paid off, ’cause here you are and not killed in a plane crash. Faked by peter august. So, that guy held you captive the whole time, huh? Not that I knew he was responsible, not until the very end. Peter never showed his face. Peter has been raising all kind of hell around here. I mean, disappearing from G.H. To elude the cops. He almost got nina and her friend killed when he set fire to her friend’s bar. And, of course, killing jason when that tunnel at cassadine island collapsed.

[ Sighs ] I guess it’s true what they say about the devil. That he’s busy? That he can multitask. I know how guilty you felt when you thought you had killed peter. But if he had died, then jason would still be alive. Jake would still have his dad. How’s he doing? He was already grieving franco, and now jason. It’s just more than any kid should ever have to process. Yes, it is. I’m so sorry. It’s infuriating knowing that peter is responsible for both franco and jason’s deaths. Peter’s in custody. And he’s gonna spend the rest of his life rotting in jail. I hope so. I wish there was something I could do to make you feel better. Is there anything you can tell me about liam’s condition that doesn’t breach hipaa? I’m afraid not. Yeah. That’s okay. I’m sure brando and sasha will tell me. I’m gonna stick around here just for moral support. I think that’s a really bad idea. Brain — brain damage? Are you sure? I mean, don’t these tests have a margin of error? You know that liam’s brain was deprived of oxygen during the placental abruption. Yes, and you thought that a cooling treatment would help give his brain a chance to recover from the trauma for 72 hours. Which was up this morning. So, the doctors took an eeg, and that test indicates the levels of liam’s brain activity. And? And the eeg test results indicate that liam has little to no activity in his brain.

Little or no brain activity? W-what does that even mean? Liam has no cognitive function. Or motor function. He has no capacity to think or grow. His life can only be sustained through machinery. I am so, so sorry. I mean, well, can’t we try the cooling therapy again? That should help, right? The outcome would be the same.

[ Voice breaking ] I mean, how do you know if you don’t try? Brando, sasha, the tests show an almost complete lack of brain activity. The cooling blanket won’t change that. But there must be some other therapy that will, right? Yeah. What about — what about surgery? Unfortunately, there’s nothing more that we can do for liam.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Sobs ] Brando and sasha are speaking with dr. Westbourne and dr. Fleming right now. Yeah, I know. And they’re probably gonna want a friend around for support once they get their baby’s prognosis, good news or bad. Maxie, your heart is in the right place. But I’ve worked with patients for enough years to know how they react to news that they receive about themselves or a loved one. After sasha and brando speak with the doctors, they’re gonna want to come here to nicu to be with their baby. Just the three of them. To sit with the news, talk to each other. Celebrate…or not. You understand me? Yeah. You’re saying the best way for me to be a friend is to leave them alone for a while.

[ Monitor beeping ] Thank you. I didn’t know I needed a hug.

[ Chuckles ] I didn’t know how much I needed to see you smile.

[ Chuckles ] We should do this more often. Definitely. Let’s make a date for the next one.

[ Laughs ] I’ll be sure to invite your laugh.

[ Cellphone beeps ] Mm.

[ Sighs ]

[ Chuckles ] It’s emergency. I have to go. Yeah, me too. I’m covering the E.R. Then I’m going your way. They just brought someone in. That was warden alvarez from pentonville. Is this about peter? He doesn’t know what happened, but peter’s on his way to general hospital. Oh. Oh, god, please tell me he’s dying. I don’t know. I got to go to the E.R. So, I’ll keep you posted. Hey. Do you know what happened to peter? My doctors in baltimore told me that I have completely recovered from my stroke. Wow. And that I can resume my normal activities. And you made G.H. Your first stop? Aren’t you fed up with doctors?

[ Scoffs ] Not when my great-nephew is one. What?!

[ Both laugh ] How’s molly? Wonderful. Busy championing the cause of justice and changing the world. I’d expect nothing less from her. Mm. Does curtis know you’re here? No. And I refuse to see him until I know what he’s hiding from me. Thomas jr.? What’s going on with your uncle? So, clearly, you are out of the P.I. Business and you are in the nightclub business. Yeah, brother. I, uh — I got tired of the constant daily stream of lies and — and — and cheating, you know? So, the owner, he just happened to be selling the place and I was ready for a change. I love it. I love it. I mean, this is a nice move. This place screams good times and good music. And happy reunions. So, when am I taking you and jordan out to dinner?

[ Dramatic music plays ]

[ Monitor beeping ]

Hi. Anna! What are you doing here? Uh, visiting sasha and brando. What about you? Are you here for your phlebotomy treatment? Maxie, peter’s been brought here from pentonville. He’s in the E.R. What did the triage nurse say? Apparently, a guard found peter unresponsive in his cell. He was transferred to the prison infirmary. When he couldn’t revived, the warden called 911. But there’s — there’s no sign of trauma, there’s no injuries, there’s no blood anywhere on his body. Well, what do we got? Bp’s 80 over 40, pulse is 42, respiration’s 4 to 6 and shallow. Alright, let’s start him on a norepinephrine drip and run a toxicology panel. Tell me he’s gonna die. That his life will be cut short like franco’s and these next few breaths will be his last. I don’t know what happened to peter. Why should I? Uh, maybe because you and selina wu had your heads close together earlier. And then she approached me and said something cryptic about protecting family. The next thing I know, peter’s on the way to the hospital. Come on. Even anna thinks you know something. How could i possibly know? Please don’t do that. Well… I’m your wife. I deserve to know if you sought justice for jason. Alright. You deserve to know the truth. You’re right.

[ Whispers ] I put out the hit on peter. Curtis and I have jobs that keep us busy. So that’s why we’re taking things slow. Because of your jobs? Or because of me? Look, I know I was snarky when I learned that you were with curtis while still married to my dad. But I’m over it now, mom. Thank you, sweetheart. Uh, but that’s not the reason why curtis and i are taking things slow. He has a lot going on right now. Um…plus, the savoy. More important than you? Oh, my god. Is he seeing someone else? Did he go back to jordan? N-neither. And you know this how? I know this because curtis told me. So, what is it? Hello, dr. Robinson. I don’t know what to be sorry about more — your split with jordan or her health issues.

[ Sighs ] Jordan will be fine. It’s just gonna take some time. A lot of time, unfortunately. Any chance of you guys making your marriage work when she comes back to port charles? I’ll admit, seeing her so ill in that hospital reminded me that I still — I’m still in love with her. Mm. But I’m not willing to live with those secrets anymore. So, I made a break. Started over. I’m trying to start over, myself. Easier said than done, right? Yeah. Sam and I were over for months when peter faked that plane crash, and then I was held captive for two years after that. And yet as soon as I got hold of the guard’s phone, sam was the only person that I thought to call. That makes sense, man. She’s the mother of your child. She’s always gonna be important to you. She seems happy, and… that’s all I want for her. Well, just so you know… she never gave up fighting for you. She didn’T. She didn’T. She, uh, came all the way to crete, only went home because they told her peter shot me and they couldn’t recover my body. Peter august again. Staged the whole thing. Wow. He also took liesl obrecht prisoner, and britt needed help to rescue her mom, so she turned to jason. It just kills me the way things turned out. Now…jason is dead and I am here trying to figure out how to live my life in a way that honors him. I’m not sure what you mean. Uncle curtis is fine. Uh-huh. Then why is it that every phone conversation I have with him, I can tell he’s hiding something from me? Have you asked him? Of course. All I get is the classic curtis ashford dodge. Is it jordan? Has she taken a turn for the worse? No, no. Mom is doing okay. Molly and I visit her at least once a week. This has nothing to do with her. Ah! Then you do know something about your uncle.

[ Sighs ] No, don’t you look away from me. Come clean and tell me how I can help my nephew. There is nothing that you can do for our baby? Nothing? We could wait and see, right? Give liam a chance to improve on his own. Sasha… liam’s brain doesn’t have the capacity to improve. He suffered a significant trauma that ensures he will not be able to breathe without help or eat without a feeding tube. Liam will likely suffer from seizures. Look, all this means is that liam will need lots and lots of care. And we can handle that. Whatever the challenges. With a lot of love, a lot of hard work, w-we can give liam a better life. Yeah. Okay? I think we need to take some deep breaths and wrap your heads around this… and be realistic. I think we are. You still have some important decisions to make for your son.

the only decision brando and I have to make is when we’re gonna take our baby home. There is — why don’t you two take some time to process what you’ve learned? We have two specialists from other hospitals confirming the eeg results just to be double sure. But just know right now your baby is getting the best possible care. And may we speak to these other specialists? Of course. And we also have counselors and social workers on hand for help. I think dr. Collins is available. We could have him come in — no, no, I-I don’t need to speak to dr. Collins. I need to see my son. So do I. Of course. I know. I know I should have told them what needs to happen next with their son, but I-I just couldn’T. Not yet. You heard that peter’s been brought in? Yeah. How is he? Do you know? What’s happening? How is he? This isn’t some trick, is it? Where he’s faking being sick and then uses everyone’s distraction to escape? It’s not a trick. Peter’s in critical condition. I managed to stabilize him, but all I can do now is wait for his test results. Okay, I just saw him at pentonville, and he was fine. He was getting ready for his arraignment, given a preliminary examination, it’s very possible that peter ingested a toxin. What, like he did to chase? Someone poisoned him? It’s possible. Again, it’s too soon to say for sure. May I speak to you for a second? Whoa. Peter was terrified someone would get to him in prison. Maxie: I need to talk to you about peter. I just came from seeing that bastard. What’s on your mind? Okay, well, I want to know what you’re gonna do about him. I want him dead. Looks like he was right. Thank you for telling me the truth. And thank you for doing what you did. So many people are gonna be grateful, especially maxie and drew. That son of a bitch has to die. I think justice would be better served if peter suffered a slow and painful death. That’s actually what I promised peter. I just didn’t know, like, when or how it was gonna happen. Well, I know who you are now, and why you were asking all those questions about curtis.

[ Chuckling ] Well, I, uh… I apologize for being so — uh, what should I say? — Disingenuous about my identity. I was trying to find out how curtis might react to my return. And I heard it did not go very well for you. No, no, it, uh — it didn’T. Uh, not that I’m blaming curtis. As well you shouldn’T. Mom, what’s going on? Oh, forgive me for not introducing myself. I’m marshall. Marshall ashford. Curtis’ father. I’ve been where you are, my friend. Yes, you have. You’ve lost your brother, as well. That grief stays with you, so if there’s anything I can do to make it easier for you, man, you let me know. I will. Thanks, man. Now, other than jordan, how’s everything going? I saw you studying your tablet earlier. Looked like it was delivering some bad news. Yeah, I was trying to look into someone’s background and I kept coming up empty. Can you tell me what it’s about? Maybe I can help. It’s about someone that I thought was dead, and it turns out he’s alive. It happens.

[ Chuckles ] Unlike with you… I wasn’t happy to see this person. Who is it? My father.

It must be really hard to stay professional while you’re treating peter. It’s not easy. But I have a job to do, no matter who the patient is. Even if that patient killed your husband? Normally, the hospital wouldn’t let me within 100 feet of him. But we’re understaffed and everyone else is with other patients. I’m sorry, elizabeth. I shouldn’t have brought it up. All you did was say it out loud. I always think about what peter did to franco… and then compounded the grief and misery by framing jason for his murder. Jason. Another person peter killed. Leaving jake without a dad. Jake must be devastated.

[ Scoffs ] He’s a mess, seesawing back and forth between grief and anger. I’m getting him counseling, but it’s not fair that my kid should have to struggle with all this loss while peter’s benefiting from the very best medical care. I’m so sorry, elizabeth. But you understand, right? Because of peter, your daughter’s missing. Doesn’t at least part of you want to let peter die? Peter’s still alive. There’s nothing I can do to treat him until I confirm he’s been poisoned. Let’s hope that takes a really long time. So, I just spoke to warden alvarez, and, uh, he’s treating peter’s cell as a crime scene. So, if someone tried to kill him, they’re going to identify that person. Oh, so they can award them the medal of freedom? I just wonder how long jason was alive under that collapsed tunnel, just — just thinking, like… when he’s gonna die. I don’t want to think about that. No, I know. I know. And that’s why you concentrate on your work and all that, but sometimes that doesn’t work. And I know that, uh… …peter’s death doesn’t make up for all the pain that he’s caused you. The pain that he’s caused us. I assume this lovely young lady is your daughter. And I’m getting the feeling that my mom doesn’t like you. Maybe you should go. Yeah, that’s my daughter. She’s very opinionated. It’s okay. I get that reaction a lot. You see, I left curtis and his brother and his mom when curtis was a very, very young child. Um, and they thought I was dead. That’s terrible. I know. Which is why curtis’ and my reunion wasn’t a happy one. Gee, I wonder why.

[ Chuckles ] Yes, uh, I’m still hoping I can find my way into curtis’ good graces.

[ Sighs ] Well, maybe don’t rush things. Give him time to process the fact that you are alive. Let him come to you. That is very sound advice, dr. Robinson. Although, no one’s ever accused me of listening to sound reasoning. Pleasure meeting you. Good to see you again, dr. Robinson. Mm. Yes, we have to stop bumping into each other like this.

[ Chuckles ] So, that’s why your relationship with curtis has been back-burnered. He’s dealing with his dead dad suddenly coming back to life. I could give him a few pointers. Do me a favor and don’T. I understand why curtis is uncomfortable being around his father… but why are you? My father was gone for decades. Suddenly shows up in port charles asking questions about me. And then when dear old dad finally shows his face, he says that he wants to be a family. Now, that burns me up. There’s absolutely no way that he can make up for the lives that he changed when he left. Did he mention where he’s been all these years? Not even a word. So I’ve been trying to find answers. But unfortunately, none of the search engines that I’ve been using have been helpful. There’s plenty of marshall ashfords… huh. …But none that fit his description. How would someone go about not having any information online? You think he’s been using a different name all this time? That’s what I’m thinking. Can I offer a suggestion? I think you’re too close to this. And when that happens, sometimes you don’t see things clearly. Why don’t you let me help you research your father? Alright, curtis is dealing with something. I knew it. He didn’t tell you because he was afraid it would upset you. Upset me how? Like give me another stroke? The thought crossed his mind. It’s that bad, then? No, it’s not bad. It… it’s just unexpected. Well, what is it?! It’s not my story to tell, auntie. I know you just want to help curtis, but you’re gonna have to talk to him about this yourself. And what if he won’t tell me? Then it means he isn’t ready to. And you’ll have to back off. Which — which I know is not part of your dna. My job, thomas jr., Is to support curtis with whatever he’s going through. It started when he was a little boy, and it hasn’t ended just because he’s a grown man. That is why we love you so much. And I love you, too, for too many reasons to count.

[ Chuckles ] And one of them is your loyalty to curtis and not giving up his secret.

[ Chuckles ] I thought you’d be upset with me. Just the opposite. True loyalty is a very rare gift indeed. I saw brando and sasha on their way to the nicu. I assume the news isn’t good about their baby. No. Who better to deliver it than the “britch”? No one calls you that anymore. I feel so badly for brando and sasha. And I think I just made things worse. How? Because I wouldn’t let dr. Fleming speak. I could tell they weren’t ready to hear just how limited liam’s options are. But I’m afraid that withholding that information, I-I gave them false hope. Which only makes things worse for them. Brando: Liam can’t be brain-damaged. I mean, you take all the tubes away, and he looks like any other normal, healthy boy, just like he could wake up any second. He will wake up. He’s our strong-willed warrior.

[ Respirator hissing, monitor beeping ] Sasha… hmm? Never mind. It’s not important.

I thank you for your offer, but you just got back to port charles, okay? You’ve got to figure out what your next move is. And I know you want to spend time with your daughter. You and scout got a lot of catching up to do. Mm. She didn’t remember me when she saw me. But I-I am gonna make sure — I’m gonna make sure that we get to know each other again, believe me. That’s what I’m saying. Priorities. Yeah, but spending time with my daughter’s not gonna take up every second of every day.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. I’ll think about it. But in the meantime, go have fun with your little girl. Yeah, it’s gonna be a pleasure, let me tell you. Thinking about scout just kept me going while I was in that cell all that time. You know, she wasn’t with me physically, but she was still with me. She was here… and right here. Alright, man. Great to see you. Good to see you, brother. Talk soon. Marshall ashford makes me uncomfortable because when he first arrived to port charles, he was asking questions about curtis without revealing his true identity. And curtis was angry that he was sneaking around behind his back. And now, after learning that his father has been alive for all these years, he just feels like his life has been upended. Don’t blame him. Curtis’ father pretended to be dead much longer than yours. And your dad only did it to keep you safe from cyrus renault. Maybe mr. Ashford had a good reason, too. Well, if he did, he’s not saying what it was. And as much as dad was away because of work, he was a huge part of my life. He was always there when I needed him. He sure was. But curtis… wow. He didn’t even have a father growing up. Curtis byron ashford!

[ Laughs ] Come here and give me a hug. Aunt stella! Oh, my goodness. You’re the second greatest surprise of the day. You mean I’m not the first? Okay, so how you feeling? You feeling okay? I’m healthy and strong and ready to hear what’s going on with you. No more secrets. You hear me?

[ Dramatic music plays ] You don’t have to stay and hold my hand. I’m sure you have better things to do.

[ Chuckles ] This is where I’m supposed to be right now. You think I haven’t been where you are? Forced to give parents bad news? I know when they can take it and when they can’T. And never in a million years did I think I’d be saying this to you, dr. Westbourne, but you did right by brando and sasha. You have nothing to regret. You showed that young couple grace. And right now, they need all the grace they can get.

[ Respirator hissing, monitor beeping ] There were a million reasons to eliminate peter, even before what he did to jason. This is for all of them. And jason. He will be avenged. Thank you. We — we just have to wait for anna to confirm… …that peter is gone for good.

[ Respirator hissing, monitor beeping ] I need to check on mr. August. I mean, not so long ago, you didn’t know whether you’d killed peter. Now you’re trying to save his life. The irony isn’t entirely lost on me. No. The best thi ng that could happenfor everyone is that peter dies. Then we would all be free of him. Oh, boy. I don’t disagree. I mean, I don’T. Th-there’s so many of us who’ve been harmed by him. And then the ones who didn’t survive him. The ones whose lives peter stole. For franco. For jason. Let him die.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

 

Roman: Okay. Before we go in there, I want to make sure you’re up for this.

Kate: What choice do I have? I’m his next of kin.

Roman: Okay. I can talk to rafe, figure out another way to do the id.

Kate: No, no, no. No. I have to do this, and I have to remember that, if it’s philip’s leg, that that could be a clue to finding him. Id him alive.

Roman: Okay

[Soft music]

Rafe: Thanks for coming in.

Roman: You need a minute?

Kate: No, I’m ready.

[Monitor beeping]

Brady: So come on. Any news on philip?

Belle: No, not since last night.

Brady: Belle, he’s telling me they found his leg, but they haven’t found him?

Belle: Not yet.

Brady: He’s gotta be alive. This–I’m not worried about being arrested. I’m worried about him. I’m worried about chloe. Have you seen her? She’s a wreck about…

Belle: Dad.

Brady: What are you–how’d you–did you get released already?

John: Yeah, I was. How you doing, son?

Brady: I’d be doing a hell of a lot better if I was out of this bed, dad. I need to go help with the search for philip, ’cause the cops don’t know what the hell they’re doing.

John: All right, I’ll head on down to the station. See if I can move this investigation along a little.

Brady: Dad. Dad, you don’t have to do–

Belle: No, I can call shawn.

John: I need to help!

Brady: Dad, I know you want to, but listen. I’m okay. Marlena’s not, all right? She is possessed, and she’s dangerous, and she’s still out there, so you need to go find her.

Ben: Good morning.

Ciara: Good morning. Why didn’t you wake me?

Ben: Because you were sleeping so peacefully. It’s not like we have anywhere else to be.

Ciara: Where’s marlena?

Ben: She went for a walk. She said she was feeling a little out of sorts, since that gabriel guy showed up yesterday. I think he spooked her.

Ciara: Really? Because I thought that he was really nice. He was very concerned for our baby, and quite frankly, ben, I am too.

Ben: Ciara.

Ciara: I know you said that i looked like I was sleeping peacefully, but I was not. I was actually having some pretty bad dreams.

Ben: About what?

Ciara: Everything, including this place. Let’s just get the hell out of here, ben, please. Please just take me home.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Kate: Yeah, yes. It’s his–it’s philip’s leg.

Rafe: You sure?

Kate: Yes. He got it a couple of years ago. It’s a new one, and I recognize it.

Rafe: Okay. We need to verify it officially if possible.

Kate: I brought the serial number I got.

Rafe: Oh, great.

[Soft music]

That’s a match.

Kate: I knew this was gonna happen, but still, it’s a shock.

Roman: Kate, katie, I am so sorry.

Kate: No, no.

Roman: Katie.

Kate: I don’t want to be comforted, roman. I don’t want to be consoled. Okay, I just want you to arrest brady black for this! For doing this to my son.

John: Yeah, I’m worried about doc, but I’m not leaving you, kid, not when you’re facing potential criminal charges here.

Brady: I know it looks bad, but, dad, I didn’t hurt philip.

John: I know you didn’t, but I’m still not walking out on you. Not with all these injuries.

Brady: It’s okay, it’s okay. I actually have a fairly decent lawyer on the case, so we are–the best lawyer on the case. You don’t have to stay with me. You need to focus your energy on marlena.

Belle: Yeah, I agree, dad. I mean there’s really nobody better suited to fight the devil than you. You’ve already kicked his butt once and saved mom.

Brady: There’s no doubt you’re gonna do it again.

John: Gotta find her first.

Brady: Then do it. Go find her.

John: Fine, I love you, kids.

Belle: We love you, too, dad.

John: Take care of yourself.

Brady: Find her.

Marlena: Good morning.

Ciara: Oh, goodness. I did not hear you come in.

Marlena: Oh, sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you. I did happen to overhear you talking about wanting to go home.

Ciara: Yes, well, you can understand that, right?

Marlena: I do, of course. All the way out here, and you’re protecting me from an abusive husband. That’s a lot to take on.

Ciara: Yes. It is, but don’t get me wrong. Ben and I do want to help you.

Ben: And we will.

Ciara: But even you can admit that this can’t go on indefinitely.

Marlena: What can’t?

Ciara: Well, dr. Evans, I’m expecting a child, and we are in a cabin in the middle of the woods. I can’t do this forever. I need to go home.

Marlena: No, you can’T. I won’t let you.

Ciara: You won’t let me? Serena: It’s my 3:10

Kate: Did you not hear me? I want brady arrested for murder.

Rafe: I know how difficult this is, but I don’t have enough for an arrest. I…

Kate: Brady was found drunk covered in philip’s blood with a knife that had his bloody fingerprints all over it, philip’s phone with a horrific text from brady. What more do you need, rafe?

Rafe: I understand your frustration, but–

Kate: Oh, my god! The district attorney was going to arrest him yesterday, just for that evidence, and now, we have this?

Roman: Look, kate. Let’s let rafe handle this, all right? Let me take you–

Kate: No, I’m not going anywhere until the police commissioner does his job and puts brady in a cage, where he deserves to be, for killing my son!

[Sobbing] Oh, god.

[Monitor beeping]

Brady: Dad’s gonna find marlena.

Belle: I know, I’m just–

Brady: What?

Belle: I’m just worried sick. This is the devil we’re talking about.

Brady: No, no, hey. He doesn’t stand a chance. Not against the love that those two share, right?

Belle: All right, listen. Let’s just get back to your case. I need you to take me through everything again, from the moment you left here.

Brady: I went to the pub to get dad some takeout. Ran into chloe. We talked for a few minutes outside, and then she left.

[Sighs] Then it’s a blank.

Belle: So you don’t remember going into the pub and ordering a drink?

Brady: No.

Belle: Is it possible that you did? What, what is it?

Brady: I did order a drink recently. It was at a bar outside of town on thanksgiving, all right? Hey, hey, I didn’t drink it. I even called maggie and had her come and meet me there.

Belle: So why’d you order it in the first place?

Brady: A couple reasons, belle, okay? Kristen had just tried to kidnap our daughter rachel, and I was struggling with my feelings for chloe.

Belle: So maggie showed up.

Brady: She showed up. I blabbered on a bit. I offered to drive her home, and then she offered to take us both to a meeting. I agreed, and that’s when you called and told me dad was in the hospital.

Belle: Yeah, you know, brady, when they found you passed out at the river, your blood alcohol level was three times–

Brady: I’m aware of that.

Belle: The legal limit. There has to be an explanation for that.

Brady: Well, I don’t have one–I don’t know.

Belle: Okay, you were drunk. There has to be an explanation. We just have to figure out what it is.

Susan: John black. Hey, as I live and breathe, praise the lord, you’re living and breathing, too.

John: Hey, susan. You getting out of here?

Susan: Oh, yeah, sure I am. I’m just waiting on elvis to come pick me up.

John: Oh, well I’m glad that you’re all right, and, listen, for the record, I just want to tell you how awful I feel about what you went through.

Susan: Oh, you mean having to eat the food here at the hospital? I mean, I really didn’t mind. I mean, sometimes I’d ask for an extra pudding cup.

John: No, I was talking about when you stabbed yourself.

Susan: Oh. Hey, that wasn’t your fault. No, I mean, your beloved wife and my dear best friend dr. Marlena evans was possessed by the devil. I mean, john, I still have nightmares about that. You and me locked up in the crypt, and then her coming in with the dagger and telling me that I had to kill you, or that she was gonna kill my only child. And really I was hoping that satan would take any human sacrifice. You know, any old human would do, and, well, that’s when I turned that big, old knife, and I stabbed myself.

John: Yeah, well, that was incredibly selfless.

Susan: Well, john, I just did what I had to do. You know, and don’t you worry. I know that dr. Marlena evans had nothing to do with it.

John: Yeah, well, thanks for saying that anyway.

Susan: By golly, I mean it. I mean it, ’cause I know that she would never deliberately hurt you, or me–

John: Yeah.

Susan: Or my son, or she would never, ever–and certainly never, ever hurt an innocent little baby.

John: What are you talking about, susan? Baby, what baby?

Marlena: You can’t abandon me; I need you.

Ciara: Marlena, please hear me out.

Marlena: No, no, but if you go, I’d be terrified to be alone.

Ciara: Well, I’m terrified, too; I am pregnant with my first child, and I have a very important checkup scheduled for this week.

Marlena: I told you I would take care of you.

Ciara: Yes, but you’re a psychiatrist.

Marlena: I’m also a doctor. Well, I’ve delivered lots of babies. Plus, you’re not even near your due date.

Ciara: Yes, that’s right, but I’m scheduled for a sonogram, and we don’t even have that kind of equipment here.

Ben: Yeah, we really do need to go to the hospital, dr. Evans. We need to see kayla and just make sure everything is progressing the way it should.

Marlena: Everything’s fine. I mean, look, you’re a healthy young woman, but if you’re feeling concerned, I can grab my bag and check your vitals.

Ciara: Thank you. That’s all right–besides, we’re getting off track here.

Marlena: No, you know what? I promised you that I would never let anything happen to your baby, and you promised you would protect me, so I’m doing my part. So are you now saying that you’re not gonna do what you promised? As a professional bull-rider

Brady: Hey, I swear, I swear I don’t remember drinking.

Belle: All right, I hear you. Then let’s just stay with what you do remember, okay? You said you were about to go into the pub and pick up some food for dad.

Brady: Yes.

Belle: But you don’t remember going inside?

Brady: No, but I must’ve, right?

Belle: All right. Well, let’s just check your credit card statement. See if there are any charges from the pub that day, and that’ll tell us.

Brady: That’s a good idea.

Kate: I’m talking like my son is dead, and actually, I don’t believe that. I don’T. I just need some accountability, you know, some justice, rafe.

Roman: Kate, we know, okay? We all want that, and everybody’s hoping and praying that philip is alive and making his way back home, right?

Kate: Yeah.

Roman: All right.

Kate: But even if he does survive, this was a savage, savage attack, and brady needs to pay for that.

Rafe: Okay, kate, you have my word that I will conduct a thorough investigation, and I will keep you posted every step of the way.

Roman: All right. We appreciate that, rafe. Thank you, okay? All right, let’s go.

Kate: Okay.

[Tense music]

Chloe: Hey.

Roman: Chloe, what brings you down here?

Chloe: I had to come and find out if there was any news–

Roman: The leg belongs to philip.

Chloe: Oh, kate, I’m so–

John: So you think the devil is after ben and ciara’s baby?

Susan: John, I know you’re aware of my gift, my psychic ability. It was–that I had a premonition that made me come back here, to salem. See, I had this vision that ben weston’s little seed was flowering in ciara’s womb.

John: So you knew she was pregnant?

Susan: And a dark and dangerous force was threatening that unborn baby, and that’s when I jumped into my car, and I floored it all the way from memphis to the airport–

John: Oh, okay, okay, so you got to their place, and then–

Susan: Mm-hmm, okay, then ciara let me lay hands on her belly, and oh, lordy. Oh, lordy, I fainted. I fainted dead away because I was right. I was right that that baby was in grave danger. I just didn’t know where the heck it was coming from, and so I tried it again, john. I did, I tried it again. I laid my hands on her, and I was making headway. I was, and then my concentration got broken by none other than dr. Marlena evans.

John: Wait, wait, wait. She was there?

Susan: Well, she was there because I fainted, and ben went to go get her, because he wanted her to help me. But she couldn’t help me, because she wasn’t her. She was him.

John: Okay, fine, and then what happened?

Susan: Oh, and then she whisked me out of there. She whisked me out of there, and that is when I knew something was off. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. I mean, whew, she was being so bossy to me, telling me that I had to get back to memphis, and she was being a bully. And we all know what you have to do with a bully; you have to to stand up to a bully–

John: Absolutely, so did you–

Susan: I sure did stand up to that bully, I did, john. I did, and I told her that I wasn’t going anywhere until I found out who wanted to harm that little baby.

John: All right, and then what did she do?

Susan: Oh, she grabbed my wrist. She grabbed my wrist. Oh, john black. I have never, never in my life felt that kind of jolt of electricity. And that is when I knew that she was the danger.

John: That’s because the devil had her.

Susan: Yeah, and then I tried to tell someone, but before I could, she knocked me out, and she turned me into that little pussycat, and then she threw me in the crypt. I mean, it is a miracle that you and I survived, because, john, john, the devil is still out there, and it’s got possession of dr. Marlena evans’ body, and he needs to be stopped at–

John: But susan–

Susan: All costs!

John: Susan, do you have any idea what the devil wants with ben and ciara’s baby?

Susan: I don’t know his exact intentions. I don’t, john, but what I can tell you is that they are evil. Evil, evil.

Marlena: Look, if you break your promise, I could die.

Ben: No, we would never let that happen, dr. Evans.

Ciara: No, of course not. We are going to keep you safe, I promise; you can stay here for as long as you want, and no one is going to find you.

Marlena: That man gabriel found me.

Ciara: What do you mean he found you?

Marlena: I mean, he found this cabin in the woods, so if he could find it, then john could find it.

Ciara: No, not if we don’t say anything to anyone. We won’t say a word, I swear.

Marlena: You don’t get this. I’m fighting for my life here. Look, please, I’m begging you. Please, just stay a little while longer.

Ben: Dr. Evans, I really want to go to ciara’s sonogram appointment, but if you are scared to stay alone, then I guess ciara could go to her appointment on her own. I could stay here.

Marlena: No. I need you both to stay here.

Ciara: Ben, can I talk to you alone for a minute?

To be a thriver with

metastatic breast cancer

Ciara: You’re not coming to my sonogram appointment, ben? Really, what the hell?

Ben: Baby, try to understand that, yes, dr. Evans is my therapist, but she’s also my friend, and she needs me.

Ciara: I’m your wife. I’m the mother of your unborn child. I need you, too, ben, and I want to go home.

Ben: Okay, well, we can’t just abandon her here, not when she’s in fear of her life.

Ciara: I understand that she helped you, and you feel obligated to help her in return, but she’s taking advantage of your kindness, ben. She is manipulating you. Something is off with her, okay? I don’t like the way she’s been acting; I said it when we first got here. I don’t like how focused she is on our child.

Ben: She is concerned, ciara.

Ciara: She’s too concerned, ben. She’s telling me that she will help me and that I don’t need kayla, or a real hospital, or a real checkup.

Ben: Because she’s trying to convince us not to leave her here alone.

Ciara: And it is working, because you told me that I could go while you stayed here.

Ben: I really don’t want that.

Ciara: I don’t want that either, but why would she want me to stay, ben? She would be very safe with you here, but me, why? I don’t get it. It doesn’t make sense. I don’t get her, and quite frankly, she’s really starting to creep me out.

Marlena: Everything okay out here?

Susan: Hey, john, I am so sorry that I didn’t tell you about the baby when we were locked up, but I was just so frazzled.

John: No worries, susan. Once I find doc, I’m gonna get this whole thing figured out.

Susan: Hey, hey, hey. You be careful, john black, ’cause that devil still wants you dead, and I’m not gonna be there to save you this time.

Shawn: Susan, john.

John: Hey.

Shawn: Hey, I’m going to talk to brady; you want to join me?

John: I can’t; I gotta go.

Shawn: Everything okay?

John: Well, susan has reason to believe that the devil wants ben and ciara’s baby.

Susan: And I know you’re a skeptic, detective shawn brady, but all my life, people have not believed in my vision, and this–

Shawn: Susan, I don’t doubt you. In fact, I think you’re right.

Belle: Okay. I’m in your account, and here are all your charges. Oh, bingo. Brady pub last friday, $72.

Brady: So I did go in. So what did I order?

Belle: Well, I can’t tell from this, but I can talk to roman and see if I can get an itemized receipt.

Brady: Yeah, let’s hope it’s just chowder for dad.

Belle: Yeah, $72 is a lot of chowder for one person.

Kate: You have been playing brady and philip off each other for months.

Chloe: That’s not true.

Roman: Kate, we’re leaving.

Kate: Oh, no, no, no. I’m not halfway–

Roman: Kate!

Kate: Done with you.

Roman: Kate, calm down. You’re gonna get yourself arrested for assault.

Kate: I really don’t care. You love men’s attention, don’t you? Their worry, you know, their concern for you, watching them fight over you.

Chloe: Actually, I hate that.

Kate: You know what? I just can’t understand why they don’t see you for what you actually are, a shallow, dim-witted twit.

Chloe: Kate, I know that you’re upset about philip, but please–

Kate: You know, I was so thrilled when philip told me that you had left, you know, that you had left, and that he was rid of you, the woman who has only hurt him and caused him pain. You said you were faithful to him, and the whole time you were sleeping with someone else.

Chloe: No, that’s not true. I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Kate: Oh, please. Lucas saw you and brady walk into the salem inn, and you know the sad part is philip tried to defend you because he didn’t want to face the fact that you had just left him and jumped into bed with brady.

Chloe: That did not happen. Brady was just helping me with my bags.

Kate: Oh, I’m sure he was, because a lot of men have handled your bags, haven’t they?

Chloe: Okay. I am not doing this.

Kate: Oh, my god. You are nothing but a cheat, and you’ve always been a cheat. You cheated on lucas with daniel, you cheated on philip with brady.

Chloe: That did not happen. I swear.

Kate: It’s just all a game with you, isn’t it, really? I mean, you get men to chase you and become obsessed with you, and then you fuel their jealousies and their rivals. And you end up in the center of all of that drama, and you think that maybe it’s because you’re wanted. You’re wanted or that it matters. But it’s all a game, chloe. It’s a game. It is a dangerous game because it had real consequences for real people. You toyed with my son for years, but this game ends now. Now, and if philip ends up dead, you are just as guilty of murder as brady. Better skin from your body wash?

Kate: So you better pray. You better pray that philip is alive, that brady didn’t plunge that knife into his chest and then throw his body into the river.

Chloe: Please stop.

Kate: You better pray for that.

Roman: Kate, we’re done.

Kate: You are pathetic.

Roman: We’re done.

Kate: You’re pathetic, and I’m going to make you pay. I’m gonna make you pay!

Rafe: What the hell’s going on in here? You okay?

Chloe: No, no, I’m not okay.

Susan: Oh.

John: Easy.

Susan: You believe me that the devil wanted ben and ciara’s baby?

Shawn: Yeah, yeah, I do. On halloween, belle and I went to dinner with ben and ciara, and they told us that they wanted to have a baby, but they were concerned about the mental health issues that ben’s had in his family. So they reached out to marlena, for guidance.

John: Yeah, and what’d she tell them?

Shawn: She said to go for it.

John: Of course.

Shawn: But then she started texting them. Like, following up, to see if they were still trying.

John: That’s too strange.

Shawn: Yeah. Belle thought so, too, that it was pushy, and it was intrusive, and it didn’t sound like her mother.

Susan: Yeah, because it wasn’t her mother! It was satan. Yes, and you know what that means, don’t you? That the devil was obsessed with that baby before ben and ciara even conceived it.

Ciara: No, everything is not okay. Ben made his choice, and it’s not me.

Ben: Ciara.

Marlena: No, wait, wait, wait, wait, ben, come on. Come on. Look, her hormones are raging. Give her a little time to cool down.

Ben: She’s really upset with me right now.

Marlena: I know, but she’s got no reason to be angry with you. I’m sorry that I’ve driven a wedge between the two of you.

Ben: Don’t, it’s okay. It’s not your fault.

Marlena: Well, I’m not sure ciara knows that.

Ben: Like you said, she’s very hormonal, and I mean, dr. Evans, she knows how much you have done for the both of us. She knows that you are the reason that allowed me to conquer my fears and marry her in the first place. And now we have conceived this child, and we are so excited to bring it into this world.

Marlena: I’m so glad to hear that.

Ben: I’m gonna talk to ciara. I’m gonna make her understand.

Marlena: Yes, but you’ll stay, right? And both of you will stay?

Ben: We’ll stay. I promise you, I promise.

John: And I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out why the hell the devil would come back to salem after all this time.

Shawn: And now we know.

Susan: Yeah, yeah, he wants ben and ciara’s baby.

John: I gotta talk to them.

Shawn: I’ll go with you.

John: What about brady?

Shawn: That can wait. We’re talking about my pregnant sister here.

Susan: Oh, please.

Ciara: [Sighs]

[Tense music]

Trelegy for copd.

[Soft music]

Rafe: Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea.

Chloe: I wanted to see what I did.

Rafe: What you did?

Chloe: Yeah, kate’s right. I mean whatever happened to philip, I’m partly responsible.

Rafe: No, no, no. You cannot blame yourself for something brady might have done.

Chloe: He swears he didn’t do it.

Rafe: No? Do you believe him?

[Cell phone rings]

[Phone line trilling]

[Cell phone beeps]

Chloe: How is brady?

Rafe: Why didn’t you answer it?

Chloe: Because honestly, I don’t know what to say to him.

[Cell phone beeps]

Brady: Hey, chloe, it’s me. I just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you. I feel terrible. I did not do this. I need to find a way to prove it to you. I’m searching my mind for some kind of explanation. I just haven’t found one yet, but I just want you to know I am thinking, and thinking, and racking my brain as to how this could have happened. I just don’t have any answers yet, but as soon as I figure this out, I’ll let you know. And I just–please. I just need you to believe in me. Okay.

[Cell phone beeps]

Roman: What can I get you?

Kate: Nothing.

Roman: How about we just sit together?

Kate: No, I think I need to be alone for a little while. You know, I just need to go lie down.

Roman: Okay. Well, I’ll be right here if you need me.

Kate: I do need you. I really need you.

[Soft music]

Belle: Oh, roman. I’m so glad you’re here.

Roman: What’s up?

Belle: I need a favor, and it has to do with brady.

Roman: Belle.

Belle: No. It’s strictly professional. Listen, trask is trying to railroad him, and I decided to represent him. And anyway, as you know, this whole case hinges on this idea that brady was so drunk that he lost control and attacked philip.

Roman: And you’re saying that’s not what happened?

Belle: I’m trying to find out. Anyway, brady’s credit card statement said that he spent $72 here the day philip disappeared, and I was hoping that you might have an itemized receipt showing what he bought.

Roman: Well, okay. I’ll be right back.

John: Ah, great.

Shawn: I know where the key’s at.

John: Nice.

Shawn: Ben, ciara?

John: [Grunts]

>>Shawn: Food is spoiled; they must have been gone for a while.

John: Yeah. Left in a hurry, too. When’s the last time you spoke to your sister?

Shawn: Thanksgiving.

John: So where could they have shot off to?

Shawn: I don’t know. I’m gonna call her.

[Phone line trilling] Come on, ciara, pick up.

[Tense music]

Ben: Ciara?

Where the hell is she? I thought I was managing my moderate

[Monitor beeping]

Brady: Damn it, why can’t i remember what happened?

Chloe: Yeah. I should get going. Philip’s expecting me, so bye, brady.

Brady: Bye. Chloe. We always have the brady pub.

[Cell phone rings] How’s my tater tot doing? Hi, buddy. What? You’re kidding me. You won the championship game? Are you serious? No, I’m not surprised, given what a great player you are. Hey, do me a favor. Have your mother send me a video, okay? Tate called. Completely forgot about that. Oh, buddy. I wish I could have been there to see you score that winning goal. What–you know I’m proud of you, right? Good, good, listen. Hey, let’s video chat over the weekend, is that good? All right. I love you, too, buddy.

Kate: Damn you, brady.

Brady: Kate, kate–

Kate: Mark my words. If my son is a dead man, you’re a dead man, too.

[Tense music]

Roman: Got it. $72, the night in question.

Belle: Okay. What did brady buy?

Roman: Six shots of whiskey.

Shawn: Come on, sis. Pick up the damn phone.

Ciara: Hello?

Shawn: Ciara, oh, my god. Wait, where are you?

Ciara: I’m right here. Hey.

Ben: Ciara’s not here. She must have gone out the back way.

Marlena: We can’t let her go back to salem.

Ben: Dr. Evans, I am sorry. I knew she was upset, but i didn’t think she’d run away.

Marlena: If she goes back, john will get the truth out of her, and then he will come here, and he will kill me. We’ve gotta stop her.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

 

Ridge: Taylor. Is that really you? Hi!

Taylor: Yes, it is really me, ridge. Your ex-wife has returned. Dr. Taylor hayes in the flesh.

Thomas: Thanks for coming back. I wanted to make sure we were on the same page about couture.

Steffy: Mm-hmm.

Thomas: Uh, you’re not upset that I made you come all the way back here ’cause you were at home, are you? ‘Cause, look, I understand we could’ve done this over the phone, but the reality is it’s better to see these things in person, and you- you’re– you’re not paying attention to a thing I’m saying, are you?

Steffy: No. What?

Thomas: You were at home. You were with finn. And y’all are in the honeymoon phase.

Steffy: No! No. Finn wasn’t there. Someone else was. You’ll never guess who.

Brooke: Thanks for stopping by.

Katie: Oh, of course. I was stuck for two hours on the freeway coming from downtown, and we still did not settle the advertising deal.

Brooke: Oh, no! You’ve been negotiating that for a while.

Katie: Yeah.

Brooke: I’m sure it’ll work out.

Katie: Yeah, I think so, I’m just– I’m stressed about it. What’s going on with you? I can tell that there’s something on your mind. Something a bit more serious.

Brooke: Before we dive into me, I’d like to hear about you. Obviously you’re staying busy at work. So, how are things in your personal life?

Katie: Um, what personal life?

Brooke: Have you seen bill lately?

Katie: Let’s just say he’s doing everything he can to win me back. But I’m not sure what the future holds.

Brooke: I just hope things work out for you. Just the way you want them to.

Katie: Me too. But enough about me and my drama, what’s going on with you? Is everything okay?

Brooke: I’m not sure if I need to be worried about ridge and me.

Thomas: Wait, someone’s at your house? Shouldn’t you be there right now?

Steffy: Well, you’re forcing me to feel fabrics.

Thomas: “Force” is a very strong word, you’re very dramatic.

Steffy: Can you just guess who’s at my house right now?

Thomas: Do I have to?

Steffy: Yes, yes, you do.

Thomas: Okay, um, the singer lady from next door.

Steffy: No. No.

Thomas: Okay, am I warm?

Steffy: Kinda. The person of interest is a woman and…

Thomas: Okay.

Steffy: She loves you very much.

Thomas: This is why I don’t do this. Um, okay, is it– is it my niece?

Steffy: Close. No.

Thomas: Okay.

Steffy: She’s a little older than kelly. She’s very accomplished, she’s extremely beautiful–

Thomas: Oh!

Steffy: She–

Thomas: I think I–

Steffy: — Changed your diapers.

Thomas: She changed my diapers?

Steffy: Well, you’re– yes!

Thomas: That– okay. Silvia, the old– the– the girl who watched us when we were kids.

Steffy: No, thomas.

Thomas: No?

Steffy: No.

Thomas: Okay, I’m trying here.

Steffy: Mom! Mom is at my house.

Thomas: Wha–

Ridge: Look at you. Beautiful as ever.

Taylor: And you are as big of a flatterer as ever. I see you cut your hair.

Ridge: Yeah, it was getting a little shaggy. I thought, you know…

Taylor: You know, I’ve always thought it looked better short.

Ridge: Mm-hmm. I remember.

Taylor: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: So, steffy obviously knows you’re here.

Taylor: She just went to run an errand. She was very surprised to see me.

Ridge: So, I’m not the only one.

Taylor: No. No, I didn’t tell the kids I was coming. I wanted it to be a surprise.

Ridge: Oh, it’s a surprise. You’ve been missed. Superpowers from a spider bite?

Thomas: Mom is so sneaky. I just talked to her the other day, and she didn’t mention a thing about coming home.

Steffy: We should plan something. Like a dinner. Us, the kids.

Thomas: Yeah.

Steffy: Maybe dad will come too.

Thomas: That’d be great. All of us in the same room, finally. I mean, video calls aren’t the same.

Steffy: I know. And I miss those mom hugs.

Thomas: Yeah, me too. It’s been so long since I’ve had one.

Steffy: It’s been even longer for me. You at least had one-on-one time with her. I haven’t seen her in over a year.

Thomas: That’s true, she did help me a lot when I was going through all that stuff with hope.

Steffy: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you were in a bad place. But we’re really lucky to have a mom who’s so compassionate and loving. And she’s, like, a world renowned psychiatrist. I mean, I really think she can handle anything.

Thomas: Even me?

Steffy: Mom’s the best advisor, and caregiver. Except for when she needs to prioritize herself.

Thomas: Yeah, yeah. She definitely puts other people’s needs first.

Steffy: Oh, yeah, she does.

Thomas: She should look after herself. I mean, she deserves to be happy.

Steffy: Mom did tell me that she had some issues of her own. Work wasn’t the only thing that kept her away.

Thomas: You, uh, talking about dad?

Steffy: Somewhat, yeah. But I’m really talking about brooke.

Katie: Your marriage to ridge seems so solid.

Brooke: It is. Until deacon came back in town.

Katie: Yes, yes. I heard he’s back. Is he up to no good?

Brooke: He hasn’t done anything except trying to show hope and me that he’s a different man.

Katie: Is he?

Brooke: I don’t know. It’s hard to tell with deacon.

Katie: What does your gut tell you?

Brooke: That he’s tired of living his old life. He’s tired of hustling to get by. Causing trouble. I think he learned a lot in prison, and I’m sure it scared him, too. All those lonely days and lonely nights, just imagining his life with his daughter. Now, all he’s doing is trying to prove that he’s changed.

Katie: Has he changed? I mean, ridge doesn’t seem to think that’s possible, right?

Brooke: No, but hope believes him. She really wants a relationship with her father.

Katie: How do you feel about that?

Brooke: It’s not really up to me. Yeah, I was upset when deacon came back in town, but hope is a grown woman. She has children of her own. It’s up to her whether she wants her father in her life or not.

Katie: So, you’re trying to support hope and at the same time you don’t want to disappoint ridge.

Brooke: Seems like it’s impossible.

Katie: I’m sorry. I can see how heavily this is weighing on you.

Brooke: Ridge and I just have very different viewpoints on deacon. I just don’t want this to come between me and my husband.

Ridge: When those kiddies wake up, they’re gonna be so happy to see you.

Taylor: I can’t get over how sweet they are. I could just stare at them for hours.

Ridge: Well, now you can. You got all the time in the world.

Taylor: You know, steffy and thomas have been great about keeping me up to date on video chat. I’m so lucky to have such a wonderful relationship with my three grandchildren. Douglas, kelly, now hayes.

Ridge: They talk about you all the time. Sit down. Can I get you something?

Taylor: No, no, I’m fine, I’m fine. You know, it’s funny, when I was traveling, I used to pray for good wifi so I could… read them stories and sing them songs. Kelly was so animated in front of the camera. But nothing… nothing compares to being here with them.

Ridge: I’m still thinking about you singing to these poor kids. It all goes so fast. I try to spend as much time with them as I can.

Taylor: Yeah. Douglas is hilarious, right? I– he’s gotten to that age where you can have a real conversation with him.

Ridge: Yes, as long as it’s about space exploration.

Taylor: Yes. It’s been his favorite subject the past couple of months. I’m still not sure what elliptical orbit is…

Ridge: Really? How do you not know that?

Taylor: You do?

Ridge: No. He might be the smartest forrester.

Taylor: I think you’re right.

Ridge: I missed that.

Taylor: What?

Ridge: That smile. For the power of a deep clean in

Steffy: It’s just so wild. We were talking about mom.

Thomas: Yeah.

Steffy: Reminiscing about the old days.

Thomas: How great would things have been if our family had just stayed together? Not sure if this feeling we’re having is ever going to go away.

Steffy: As long as dad’s with brooke, probably not. We care about dad and we want him to be happy and fulfilled, not this constant stress being thrown at him.

Thomas: Yeah. And he’s been great. I mean, helping us out tremendously, especially after mom left.

Steffy: Yeah, he just automatically picked up the slack when mom moved to paris, then she got that fellowship, and she started traveling all over the world. And he wanted to make sure that we were okay and mom had nothing to worry about. So he did everything he could to make sure he was supportive.

Thomas: Yeah, I mean, they’ve been broken up for a while, but, yeah, they managed to maintain this– this friendship through all this time. And not just for us, but for our kids.

Steffy: If he hadn’t chosen brooke over mom… I mean, could you imagine?

Brooke: I realize that ridge doesn’t want deacon around, but it’s what hope wants.

Katie: And you’re caught right in the middle.

Brooke: She even threatened to take liam and the kids and move out.

Katie: Really? But she adores living here. I mean, I can’t imagine her wanting to live anywhere else. Especially with the kids being so young.

Brooke: I know, it’s really very special. She’s created this beautiful home here on this property for liam and the kids. And I don’t want that taken away from them.

Katie: Or from you.

Brooke: Ridge believes deacon is a liability. He ordered hope to cut ties with him or leave the property.

Katie: You’ve got to be kidding, he gave her an ultimatum?

Brooke: Yes, he did, but I wouldn’t allow it. I know. I mean, what am I supposed to do, katie? I would move mountains for hope. But I don’t want to alienate ridge.

Taylor: You and I made beautiful children together. And now they have beautiful children of their own.

Ridge: They’re adorable, right? And hayes looks like he’s grown a foot since yesterday.

Taylor: He looks a lot like you, ridge.

Ridge: He does, right?

Taylor: Yes.

Ridge: I’ve been telling everyone how he’s super handsome and– glad we’re on the same page.

Taylor: As long as he doesn’t inherit that glint in his eye.

Ridge: What glint is that?

Taylor: Oh, well, that mischievous one right there. Anyway, I’m just– I’m still so amazed that steffy and finn named their son after me. Hayes. Such an honor.

Ridge: Well-deserved.

Taylor: Yeah. I’m so proud of steffy, the way that she and finn have embraced parenthood. I just– I just wish I would’ve– I would’ve flown in for hayes’s birth. Been there to hold my daughter’s hand.

Ridge: Don’t do that to yourself. They understand that you couldn’t just walk away from the seminar.

Taylor: I– I should’ve insisted on making the trip.

Ridge: And do what? Upset thousands of people? Come on! You’re making the world a better place.

Taylor: God, you know, it was a profound experience, ridge. Seeing all that suffering… it made me really appreciate and– my health, my life… my children.

Ridge: And I’m sure you met some extraordinary people along the way.

Taylor: I did. Dedicated, compassionate people. But I’m happy to be home. I’ve missed my kids so much. I’ve missed you, too, ridge.

Y&R Update Monday, December 13 2021

Young & The Restless Update

Y&R logo

Recap written by Christine

Abby came downstairs after getting the baby settled and found out Chance had put together a romantic setting in the living room with candles and wine. Jill was in Chicago for work, so Abby and Chance kissed as they thought of how they’d use their privacy. They laughed and talked and danced, then they began to undress each other and shared a passionate kiss. They moved to the couch. Later, they cuddled together, and she wondered what put that frown on his face. He kept thinking about the way he left on a mission without telling her in advance. She said it was a bit shocking, but she fell in love with him partially because of his sense of duty. At the time, he’d told himself he was leaving out of duty, but in hindsight, he thought he left partially because of what had been going on between them back then. He didn’t want to leave, but he’d felt like he’d let her down. She didn’t understand, since he was the perfect husband. He didn’t agree. He said he failed because he couldn’t give her a baby. She thought he’d made peace with what they’d had to do. “That’s how I wanted to feel. Not how I actually did,” he admitted.

Abby wished Chance said something before. He was sorry. He just wanted to explain now how he’d felt back then. He’d never thought the mission would last more than a month. He understood if she was angry. She said she had no room in her heart for anger, because she was so happy he was home. She said she wouldn’t have had a baby if it weren’t for him. She stated that the plan was all his, and she never would’ve had the courage to follow through with the plan without his support. She conceded that they needed help from their friends to make their dream come true, but when she looked at their baby, all she saw was the gift Chance gave her. She knew he was going through some things, but he was home, and she knew he’d be the most amazing father. They kissed.

Chance thought the baby monitor was broken because he couldn’t hear Dom, but Abby said he was fast asleep. Chance worried until Dominic cooed. He joined Abby on the couch and wrapped an arm around her. This reminded her of when they were living in the hotel and they’d stay up all night talking about their future. She asked how to make the transition easier on him. He said she was doing all she could, and he had to do some of it on his own. He promised he’d never prioritize work over family again. They kissed, and she was glad. He’d have to find a balance when he went back to the GCPD. She told him he didn’t have to change because he was exactly who she wanted him to be. He told her to rest and close her eyes. He then got a faraway look in his own eyes.

Amanda set up a private evening for two at the penthouse. She’d made Devon a gourmet dinner, and she told him Moses was out with Nate for the night. After the ate, he told her that dinner was impressive. They were glad to have the time to themselves and decompress. He thanked her again for how patient she was with having Dominic stay with them. She didn’t mind. She loved seeing him with Dominic, he’d been sweet, nurturing and sexy. He said he’d promised he’d be there for Dominic, and he was happy Chance was back and things could go back to normal. She told him that it was just the two of them, so he could tell her how he really felt. She could tell there was something he was holding back. He admitted that he missed Dominic so much it hurt.

Amanda was understanding. She thought Devon’s feelings were normal. Devon never knew how much babies could communicate without speaking. He’d known what Dominic needed. He was sure that Chance would learn Dominic’s cues. Devon was happy Chance was back, but when he’d been presumed dead, everyone started to assume that Devon would take over the role of father in Dominic’s life. Devon had started to let himself believe that Dominic would call him Dad one day. Now Devon had to let go of that idea, but he didn’t know how yet. Amanda hugged Devon and promised it’d be okay. She said he felt this pain because he gave away pieces of his heart, which made him a good man. He wasn’t sure about that. He felt like he was being selfish. She disagreed. She said his bond with Dominic wouldn’t change, no matter what Dom called him. She said everyone Devon loved knew how lucky they were to have him in their lives. She hoped he knew how loved he was. He knew he loved her. They kissed. When Amanda fell asleep, Devon left the house.

Meanwhile, Chance wrote a note about getting some air, and he left after Abby fell asleep. Devon and Chance both ended up at Society. Devon ordered the same drink as Chance. Chance said Devon could have his. He hadn’t touched it. They mentioned that Amanda and Abby were both sleeping peacefully. Chance hadn’t had a good night’s sleep in a long time. He blamed the time difference. Devon was having trouble sleeping too. He wished he had a good excuse, but he was just having trouble turning his mind off. Devon asked if Chance was okay, because it seemed like he wasn’t. He hoped that wasn’t offensive. Chance didn’t mind. He admitted he wasn’t okay, and it was getting harder to pretend he was. He could talk to Abby about some of it, but not everything. Devon thought that was too bad because Abby would want to help. Chance knew that Abby would want to assure him he was the perfect father and husband. Chance didn’t see himself that way – it wasn’t even close. He said he let her down before their baby was even born. Devon didn’t think Chance failed – he was alive, and he had a great wife and new son. Chance wasn’t sure he deserved them. He wasn’t sure he could live up to the commitments he’d made to Abby and Dominic.

Noah ran into Adam at The Grand Phoenix. Noah warily accepted when Adam offered to buy him a drink. Adam wasn’t sure if Noah was here to meet someone, but Adam wouldn’t get in the way if he was. Noah asked if Adam came to meet someone. That was the furthest thing from Adam’s mind. He was focused on his son. Noah asked about Sally, and Adam said they were just colleagues. Adam asked if Noah was interested in Sally. He said no. Noah heard Connor say that Chelsea might be coming home. Adam hoped she did, it’d be good for Connor and Newman Media. Noah asked what about for Adam. Adam said that the way he and Chelsea flamed out scared him away from relationships all together.

Noah told Adam how he took photos of Tessa at Crimson Lights. Adam said Sharon must’ve loved Noah turning the coffeehouse into his own personal studio. Noah said Adam knew how Sharon was – supportive and happy to help. Adam agreed that was Sharon. Noah mentioned that he and Sharon discussed Adam’s job offer. Sharon reminded Noah that they all made mistakes, and she said they shouldn’t hold Adam’s past against him and they should give him a chance to prove he was being sincere. Adam said he didn’t tell Sharon to say that. Noah believed him. Sharon’s words got Noah thinking, and he’d decided to accept Adam’s offer.

Nick raced into the main house after he got Nikki’s text telling him to come over. He met Victor, who had no idea what was going on. Nikki walked in. She’d summoned Nick because she was sick of the tension between him and Victor, and she wanted them to fix it before they ruined the holidays. Nick didn’t appreciate the phony urgent message, and he was sure Victor didn’t like it either. Victor was okay with Nikki using subterfuge to get Nick here, because he thought it was time they talk things out. Nick thought it was clear that Nikki learned this trick from Victor. Nikki was willing to do what it took to keep the family together, and she didn’t need anyone’s influence or permission. Nikki stepped out to let Victor and Nick talk. Victor asked what was up.

Nick saw no reason to talk about this anymore, since they’d already discussed it a thousand times. Victor countered that they only talked about this once, at the wedding, and Nick had avoided him since then. Nick said he’d been busy. Victor was too, but most of the conflicts had been resolved – Abby had Chance back, Victoria was happily married, and Billy had been kept at bay. “Thanks to Adam,” Nick replied. Victor agreed and said Adam had been effective at neutralizing Billy, whom Adam didn’t like, especially after that article Billy published. Nick wasn’t going to defend Billy. Nick thought that Victor brought up Nick’s siblings because they approved of the way Victor had been acting. Nick said that if Victor wanted to work things out, he shouldn’t start by playing his kids against each other.

Victor didn’t know what Nick was getting at. He asked if Nick was thought that he’d paid more attention to Nick’s siblings. That wasn’t how Nick felt. Nick was glad that Victor was able to help some of his children through some difficult times. Nick said that Victor’s support was conditional – contingent upon his children toeing the line. Nick said Victoria and Abby ran businesses Victor approved of and were in marriages he approved of. Nick didn’t understand why Victor was okay with Ashland, but maybe it was enough that he wasn’t Billy. Nick said that Adam was loyal and obedient to Victor, and he wasn’t with Chelsea anymore, whom Victor never trusted. Nick knew that one day soon, one of his siblings would do something Victor didn’t like and they’d get pushed to the outside. Nick thought Victor did that to him. Victor wasn’t sure why Nick felt that way. He asked if it was because he didn’t ask Nick to help with Gaines or Billy at the wedding.

Nick said the situation in Tuscany could’ve backfired because Victor didn’t keep him in the loop. Nick had come close to interrupting the wedding because he didn’t have all the information. He grumbled that Victor turned to Adam. Victor said that Adam was looking for an opportunity to prove himself, and do something that made him acceptable to the family. Victor said that Nick never had to do that. “Don’t I?,” Nick asked. Victor pointed out that Nick often disapproved of Victor’s actions in business and personally. Nick thought it bothered Victor that Nick had a conscience. Victor said he wasn’t going to discuss morality with Nick in Tuscany, in the midst of a crisis. “You walked around as if you didn’t want to be there. So I turned to Adam to assist me,” Victor stated. Nick noted that he wasn’t given a say. Victor honestly didn’t know Nick wanted to be involved, since he didn’t even want Victoria to marry Ashland. “And there it is. If you know I’m gonna disagree with you, then you don’t have any need for me do you? Can you understand why that would bother me?,” Nick asked.

Victor felt Nick was reading too much into what happened in Tuscany. Victor stated that he did what he had to do to solve the crisis. Nick supposed Victor wasn’t going to apologize. “Why the hell would I?,” Victor asked. Victor had done what it took to ensure Victoria’s happiness. Victor didn’t go to Nick for advice in Tuscany, because he already knew how Nick felt, and he didn’t want to hear it. Victor knew Nick would’ve been upset if Victor sought his advice then decided against taking it. Nick complained that Victor didn’t like hearing opposing viewpoints. Victor spat that he’d been using his own judgment since he was a child, because because he grew up without parents, and he’d built an empire. He refused to apologize for that. Victor said that if he’d failed Nick’s test, then so be it.

Victor apologized that things got heated, but he felt like Nick was judging him. Nick got up and started walking out. Victor guessed Nick didn’t like what he said. Nick admitted that wasn’t the first time he’d heard that. Phyllis had said he was giving her ultimatums about being who she was. Victor didn’t give a damn what Phyllis thought. He just hoped Nick saw that he and Victor could respectfully disagree. Victor noted that Nick was the one who’d avoided him, which was hurtful. Nick didn’t do it out of anger and frustration. He’d really been looking at the situation and he’d talked to Sharon about it. He’d come to accept that he owned a huge amount of blame for this. He admitted he held people to different standards and washed his hands of them if they didn’t fall in line. “That sounds like something I would be accused of,” Victor said. Nick conceded the point. He said that he and Victor might be too similar. Victor thought that could be true. Victor recalled Adam and Victoria complaining that they didn’t know where they stood with him. Victor said he was who he was, and he wasn’t going to change, but he’d die for any of his kids. Nick knew, he said that Victor just didn’t always want to hear from them. Victor admitted that was true. Victor was sure Nick would never have this discussion with his kids because he’d always been loving with them, from the beginning. Victor was sure that Nick’s kids felt very sure of themselves, because of Victor. “I think in many ways you’ve been a better father than I have been,” Victor admitted.

Nikki returned and stood in the doorway. Nick never meant for this to turn into a better father contest. It was the only contest Victor didn’t mind losing. He said every father wanted their son to be better than they were, and Nick was. Victor was a better father than Albert Miller, which was a low bar to clear. Nick thought it was impressive since Victor didn’t have parents to teach him how to be one. Victor remembered the dreadful people at the orphanage. Whatever good he did in his life, he attributed some of it to Nikki. Nick said Nikki was amazing, but Victor shouldn’t sell himself short. Victor said that Nikki helped him a lot. Nikki was touched b Victor’s kind words about her. Victor added that Nick made him proud to be a father. When he saw Nick with his kids, it made him happy. He motioned Nick over, and they hugged. Nikki was pleased.

Update written by Joseph

Roman brings Kate to the police station and asks if she’s ready to do this. Kate responds that she has no choice as Philip’s next of kin. Roman offers to talk to Rafe but Kate says she has to do it because if it is Philip’s leg, it could be a clue to finding him and identifying him alive. Roman then takes Kate in to the interrogation room where Rafe is waiting. Rafe uncovers the prosthetic leg on the table.

Belle joins Brady in his hospital room. Brady asks if there’s any news on Philip. Belle says not since last night. Brady questions finding his leg but not finding him. Belle says not yet. Brady argues that he has to be alive. Brady isn’t worried about being arrested but he’s worried about Philip and Chloe. Brady asks if Belle has seen Chloe since she was a wreck. John then walks in to the room, surprising Belle and Brady. Brady questions if John got released. John confirms he was and asks how Brady is. Brady responds that he’d be doing a lot better if he was out of this bed so he could help with the search for Philip because the cops don’t know what they are doing. John decides he’ll go to the station to see if he can move the investigation along a little. Brady tells him he doesn’t need to do that. Belle offers to call Shawn but John says he needs to help. Brady knows John wants to help but says he’s okay while Marlena is not. Brady reminds John that Marlena is possessed and still out there, dangerous, so he needs to go find her.

Ciara wakes up in bed in the cabin and asks Ben where Marlena is. Ben responds that she went for a walk and said she was feeling out of sorts since that Gabriel guy showed up yesterday. Ciara thought Gabriel was really nice and concerned for their baby. Ciara admits she is concerned too and informs Ben that she was having bad dreams about everything including the cabin. Ciara wants to get the hell out of here and asks Ben to take her home.

Kate confirms the prosthetic leg is Philip’s. Rafe asks if she’s sure. Kate responds that he got it a couple of years ago and she recognizes it. Rafe says they need to verify it officially if possible. Kate brought the serial number and shows it to Rafe which matches the leg. Kate cries that she knew this was going to happen but it’s still a shock. Roman tells her he’s so sorry. Kate doesn’t want to be consoled and yells at Rafe to just arrest Brady for this.

John tells Brady that he’s worried about Marlena but he’s not leaving Brady when he’s facing potential criminal charges here. Brady knows it looks bad but says he didn’t hurt Philip. John knows he didn’t but he’s still not walking out on him while he’s injured. Brady says he has the best lawyer in Belle, so John doesn’t need to stay and needs to focus his energy on Marlena. Belle agrees and says there’s nobody better suited to fight the Devil than John since he already kicked his butt once and saved Marlena. Brady has no doubt he will do it again. John declares that he has to find her first, so Brady tells him to go find her. John says he loves them and hugs them as he then exits the room.

Devil Marlena returns to the cabin and startles Ciara. She mentions overhearing Ciara talking about wanting to go home. Ciara asks if she can understand that. Marlena says she does understand it’s a lot to take on. Ciara assures they do want to help her but this can’t go on indefinitely as she’s expecting a child and they are in the cabin in the middle of the woods. Ciara says she needs to go home but Marlena responds that she won’t let her.

Kate repeats to Rafe that she wants Brady arrested for murder. Rafe responds that he doesn’t have enough for an arrest. Kate goes over that Brady was found covered in Philip’s blood, a knife, Philip’s phone and asks what else he needs. Kate argues that Melinda was going to arrest Brady yesterday just for that evidence and now they have the leg. Roman tells her to let Rafe handle this and offers to take her home but Kate refuses to leave until Rafe does his job and puts Brady in a cage for killing her son. Roman hugs Kate as she cries.

Brady encourages Belle that John will find Marlena. Belle cries that she knows but she’s just worried sick since they are talking about the Devil. Brady assures that the Devil doesn’t stand a chance against John and Marlena’s love. Belle wants to focus on Brady’s case and asks him to take her through everything again. Brady goes over going to the Brady Pub to get John food, he ran in to Chloe and they talked for a few minutes outside then she left. Brady says after that is a blank so he doesn’t remember going in to the Pub to order a drink. Belle asks if it’s possible that he did. Brady then admits he did order a drink recently at a bar outside of town on Thanksgiving but he didn’t drink it and had Maggie come meet him there. Belle asks why he ordered it in the first place. Brady says Kristen had just tried to kidnap their daughter and he was struggling with his feelings for Chloe. Brady continues that Maggie showed up and they went to a meeting which is when Belle called to tell him that John was in the hospital. Belle reminds Brady that his blood alcohol level was three times the legal limit so there has to be an explanation. Brady insists that he doesn’t know. Belle says they just have to figure out what the explanation is.

Susan finds John at the hospital. John asks if she’s getting out too. Susan confirms she’s just waiting on EJ to pick her up. John is glad she’s getting out and tells her how awful he feels about what she went through. Susan says it’s not John’s fault since Marlena was possessed by the Devil and she still has nightmares about that. Susan hoped Satan would take any sacrifice so she stabbed herself in John. John calls that incredibly selfless. Susan says she did what she had to do. Susan adds that she knows Marlena had nothing to do with it. John thanks her. Susan knows Marlena would never deliberately hurt them and certainly not an innocent little baby. John questions what baby she’s talking about.

Devil Marlena argues that Ciara and Ben can’t abandon her when she needs them as she’d be terrified to be alone. Ciara says she’s terrified too as she’s pregnant with her first child and has a checkup this week. Marlena reminds her that she can take care of her since she’s a doctor and has delivered babies. Marlena argues that Ciara isn’t even near her due date. Ciara says she’s scheduled for a sonogram and they don’t have that equipment. Ben agrees they need to go to the hospital to make sure everything is progressing as it should. Marlena assures that everything is fine and offers to check Ciara’s vitals. Ciara thanks her but says they are getting off track here. Marlena reminds that she promised to never let anything happen to her baby and they promised to protect her. Marlena says she’s doing her part but questions if they are now not going to do what they promised.

Brady swears he doesn’t remember drinking so Belle decides they will stay with what he does remember. Belle suggests checking his credit card statement to see if there’s any charges from the Pub that day which Brady calls a good idea.

Kate insists that she doesn’t believe Philip is dead but she needs some justice. Roman says they all want that and everybody is hoping and praying that Philip is alive and making his way back home. Kate says even if Philip does survive, this was a savage attack and Brady needs to pay for that. Rafe gives his word that he will conduct a thorough investigation and keep Kate posted through all of it. Roman thanks Rafe as he exits with Kate. Chloe arrives at the police station. Roman asks what brings here down. Chloe says she had to come find out if there was any news. Roman confirms the leg belongs to Philip. Chloe tries to say she’s sorry but Kate slaps Chloe.

Susan tells John that she’s afraid that the Devil is after Ben and Ciara’s baby. Susan reminds him of her psychic ability and how she had a premonition that made her come back to town. Susan talks about a dark force was threatening their baby. Susan explains to John how Ciara let her put her hands on her stomach and then she fainted because she was right that the baby was in grave danger, but she didn’t know where the danger was coming from. Susan says she was making head way and then her concentration got broken by Marlena. John questions Marlena being there. Susan explains that Ben went to get Marlena to help after Susan fainted but she couldn’t help because she was the Devil. Susan says Marlena got her out of there and that’s when she knew something was off as she was bossing her around and telling her to go back to Memphis. Susan says she was being a bully so she stood up to her and told her she wasn’t going anywhere until finding out who wanted to harm the baby. John asks what Marlena did. Susan recalls Marlena grabbing her wrist and says she’s never felt that kind of jolt of electricity and that is when she knew that Marlena was the danger because the Devil had her. Susan adds that she tried to tell someone but Marlena knocked her out, turned her in to a cat, and threw her in to the crypt. Susan calls it a miracle that they survived because the Devil is still out there in Marlena and needs to be stopped at all costs. John asks if she has any idea what the Devil wants with Ben and Ciara’s baby. Susan responds that she doesn’t know the Devil’s exact intentions but she knows they are evil.

Marlena argues that if Ben and Ciara break their promise, she could die. They insist that won’t happen. Ciara promises that Marlena can stay here as long as she wants and no one will find her. Marlena complains that Gabriel found her, so John could too. Ciara swears they won’t say a word to anyone. Marlena complains that she’s fighting for her life here. Marlena begs them to stay a little while longer. Ben says he really wants to go to Ciara’s sonogram appointment but if she’s scared to stay alone, then he guesses Ciara could go to her appointment on her own while he stays. Marlena argues that she needs them both to stay. Ciara asks to talk to Ben alone so they step outside. Ciara questions Ben not coming to her sonogram appointment. Ben asks her to try to understand that Marlena is his therapist but also his friend and she needs him. Ciara argues that she’s his wife and the mother of his unborn child, so she needs him too and she wants to go home. Ben argues that they can’t just abandon her when she’s in fear of her life. Ciara understands she helped him and he feels obligated to help in return, but argues that Marlena is taking advantage of his kindness and manipulating him. Ciara feels something is off here and she doesn’t like how she’s been acting or how focused Marlena is on their child. Ciara remarks that she’s too concerned and telling her that she doesn’t need a real hospital or check up. Ben says she just doesn’t want to be left alone. They talk about not wanting Ciara to have to go to the appointment alone. Ciara questions why Marlena wants her to stay when she’d be very safe with Ben. Ciara admits that Marlena is starting to creep her out. Marlena then comes out and asks if everything is okay.

Susan apologizes to John for not telling him about the baby when they were locked up. John says once he finds Marlena, he will get this whole thing figured out. Susan advises him to be careful because the Devil still wants him dead and she won’t be there to save him this time. Shawn arrives at the hospital and greets them. Shawn invites John to join him as he goes to talk to Brady. John says he can’t as he has to go. Shawn asks if everything is okay. John responds that Susan has reason to believe that the Devil wants Ben and Ciara’s baby. Susan knows Shawn is skeptic but Shawn says he doesn’t doubt her and he thinks she’s right.

Belle checks Brady’s credit card statement and finds that he spent $72 at the Brady Pub last Friday. Brady asks what he ordered. Belle says she can try to get a receipt from Roman. Brady hopes it was just chowder for John. Belle notes that $72 would be a lot of chowder for one person.

Kate tells Chloe that she’s been playing Brady and Philip off each other for months. Chloe cries that’s not true. Roman tells Kate to calm down. Kate argues that she’s not done with Chloe. Roman warns that Kate will get herself arrested for assault. Kate doesn’t care and complains that Chloe loves men’s attention and their worry or concern for her. Chloe responds that she hates that. Kate calls Chloe a shallow twit. Chloe knows Kate is upset about Philip. Kate talks about being so happy when Philip told her that Chloe had left. Kate argues that Chloe said she was faithful to Philip while sleeping with someone else the whole time. Chloe doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Kate brings up Lucas seeing Brady and Chloe walk in to the Salem Inn while Philip tried to defend her because he didn’t want to face that she just left him to jump in bed with Brady. Chloe insists that Brady was just helping with her bags and says she’s not doing this. Kate brings up Chloe cheating on Lucas with Daniel and now Philip with Brady. Chloe swears that did not happen. Kate says it’s all just a game to her as she gets men obsessed with her and then fuels their jealous and rivals to end up in the center of all the drama. Kate argues that her dangerous game had real consequences for real people. Kate says that Chloe toyed with Philip for years but this game ends now and if Philip ends up dead, Chloe is just as guilty as murder as Brady. Kate warns Chloe to pray that Philip is alive and that Brady didn’t stab him with the knife and throw his body in the river. Kate calls Chloe pathetic and shouts that she will make her pay. Roman says they are done and escorts Kate from the police station. Chloe breaks down crying as Rafe comes out of the interrogation room and questions what the hell is going on here. Rafe asks if Chloe is okay and she cries that she’s not okay.

Susan can’t believe that Shawn believes her. Shawn confirms that he does and brings up how on Halloween, he and Belle went to dinner with Ben and Ciara and how they told them they wanted to have a baby but they were concerned about the mental health issues in Ben’s family, so Ben went to Marlena for guidance. Shawn adds that Marlena said to go for it but then started texting them to follow up to see if they were still trying. John agrees that it’s too strange. Shawn talks about how Belle felt it was pushy, intrusive, and didn’t sound like Marlena. Susan points out that it wasn’t Marlena, it was Satan, which means the Devil was obsessed with the baby before they even conceived it.

Ciara tells Marlena that everything is not okay because Ben made his choice and it’s not her. Ciara then storms off. Ben tries to go after her but Marlena stops him and says her hormones are raging so she needs time to cool off. Ben worries that she’s really upset with him right now. Marlena feels he has no reason to be. Marlena says she’s sorry for driving a wedge between them. Ben says it’s not her fault. Marlena is not sure Ciara knows that. Ben says that Ciara knows how much Marlena has done for them and that she is the reason he was able to conquer his fears and conceive a child which Marlena is glad to hear. Ben says he’ll talk to Ciara and make her understand. Marlena asks if they will stay. Ben promises that they will.

John says he’s been racking his brain trying to figure out why the Devil would come back to Salem after all this time. Shawn says now they know as Susan concludes that he wants Ben and Ciara’s baby. John decides he has to talk to them so Shawn decides he’s going with him. John asks what about Brady. Shawn says that can wait as they are talking about his pregnant sister here, so John and Shawn leave the hospital together.

Ciara prepares to leave the cabin while holding her hand over her stomach.

Rafe brings Chloe in to the interrogation room where the prosthetic leg remains but then worries it wasn’t a good idea. Chloe says she wanted to see what she did which Rafe questions. Chloe says that Kate’s right that whatever happened to Philip, she’s partly responsible. Rafe argues that she can’t blame herself for something Brady might have done. Chloe notes that Brady swears he didn’t do it. Rafe asks if she believes him. Chloe’s phone rings and it’s Brady calling but Chloe ignores it. Chloe tells Rafe that Brady was calling. Rafe questions why she didn’t answer it. Chloe responds that she doesn’t know what to say to him.

Brady leaves a voicemail, saying he just wanted to let Chloe know that he was thinking about her and feels terrible, but he did not do this and he needs to find a way to prove it to her. Brady says he’s searching for an explanation but hasn’t found one yet. Brady says he’s racking his brain about how this could’ve happened and doesn’t have answers yet, but as soon as he figures it out, he will let her know. Brady declares that he just needs Chloe to believe in him as he hangs up.

Roman brings Kate to the Brady Pub and asks what he can get her. Kate says nothing. Roman suggests they just sit together. Kate thinks she needs to be alone for a while and needs to lie down. Roman tells her that he will be right there if she needs him. Kate assures that she does need him as they hug. Kate then heads upstairs as Belle enters the Pub. Belle is glad Roman is there as she needs a favor that has to do with Brady. Belle explains that Melinda is trying to railroad Brady so she decided to represent him and this whole case hinges on the idea that Brady was so drunk that he lost control and attacked Philip. Roman asks if she’s saying that is not what happened. Belle responds that she’s trying to figure out and that Brady’s credit card report shows he spent $72 here that day, so she hoped he might have the itemized receipt to show what he bought. Roman says he’ll be right back and goes to check.

John and Shawn go to Ciara and Ben’s apartment. Shawn uses the spare key to get in and they go in looking for Ben and Ciara but they are not home. Shawn notes that it looks like they must have been gone for awhile. John notes they left in a hurry and asks when he last spoke to Ciara. Shawn says it was Thanksgiving. John wonders where they could have shot off to. Shawn decides to call Ciara.

Ben and Devil Marlena re-enter the cabin but Ciara is gone, so Ben wonders where the hell she is.

Brady continues to wonder why he can’t remember what happened. Brady flashes back to talking with Chloe outside the Pub then the phone call with his son Tate. Brady then remembers Tate calling which he had completely forgot about. Brady’s flashback continues where he finished the call with plans to video chat over the weekend. Brady hung up and then got knocked out with a crowbar. Kate then enters Brady’s hospital room and declares that if her son is a dead man then Brady is a dead man too. Kate then storms back out.

Roman returns to Belle with Brady’s receipt of $72 from the night in question. Belle asks what Brady bought. Roman reveals that the receipt shows six shots of whiskey.

Ciara answers Shawn’s call. Shawn asks where she is as Ciara then appears in the door of her apartment and says she’s right there.

Ben tells Marlena that Ciara isn’t here and must have gone out the back way. Marlena worries that they can’t let her go back to Salem. Ben says he’s sorry as he knew she was upset but didn’t think she would run away. Marlena worries that if Ciara goes back, John will get the truth out of her and then he will come here to kill her. Marlena declares they have to stop her and opens the door of the cabin right as John arrives.

Billy: Yeah, you got big plans today?

Phyllis: Um, why are you curious?

Billy: I guess I’m not. I was just trying to be polite.

Phyllis: Oh, well, you don’t have to be polite. I don’t want to rub my exciting plans that I have for Thanksgiving in your face, you know? Because I’m sure you’re gonna be spending the holiday alone, fixing that mess at ChanceCom.

Billy: Yeah, hopefully I can fit a plate of turkey in between the damage control.

Phyllis: Good luck with that. I read that article on Ashland. Wow. And the embarrassing retraction.

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

Gloria: Hello, Phyllis. Isn’t it a heavenly day?

Phyllis: I guess it is.

Gloria: [ Chuckles ] Must be something in the air. I feel like I’m positively glowing.

Phyllis: Well, that could be the radioactive waves emanating from your ego.

Gloria: Oh, no, silly. It’s your spa, thank you very much. I am in between treatments, and I feel absolutely transformed, like a — like a golden goddess.

Phyllis: Well, I am very glad to hear that our estheticians have done you right.

Gloria: Oh, yes, oh, yes. I am so thankful for the massages and the facials I scheduled for today, and the fact that your spa is open on a holiday. And I mean, it’s — I feel badly for the masseuses and the facialists who have to work, but I will tip them generously because JCV is doing phenomenally well under my charge.

Elena: See? No worries. Just a little heat rash. Nothing serious.

Devon: Yeah? The nanny said the same thing, but I just wanted to double-check and make for sure.

Elena: Well, I will write down the name of an ointment you can pick up at the pharmacy. It’s over-the-counter. So it should clear up in a day or two.

Devon: That’d be perfect. That’d be perfect. Thank you so much for coming by. I appreciate it.

Elena: Yeah, of course. I’m glad you called. And just got off work, so it was no problem at all.

Elena: Mm, good. You hear that, buddy? Doctor says you’re gonna be just fine. I’m gonna get you some ointment and
clear up that rash. You’ll be good to go.

[ Chuckles ] What?

Elena: It’s just… it’s nice to see you like this.

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

Ashland: Oh, thank you, sweetheart, but, truly, there’s no cause for alarm here.

Victoria: Are you sure you’re okay?

Ashland: Mm. You know, the effects of the initial treatments that i received in Peru were — were a little rough, but the doctors told me to expect that. In fact, it’s probably good news, and it’s just a sign that the medication is doing its job.

Victoria: Maybe I should take you home.

Ashland: Well, that’s a good point.

Victoria: Not to mention a big chunk of ChanceCom consists of a division that i sold to them.

Ashland: I see where you’re going with this.

Victoria: You know, my father, he was never okay with me selling off this division to Billy. I have to think that he would be a little bit disappointed if i didn’t try to get it back.

[ Both laugh ]

Ashland: My adorably brilliant wife. I really do love the way your mind works.

  • NBC “SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE””PAUL RUDD ORIGINAL Show More
    12/18/21 (11:29 PM) (Saturday): Paul Rudd is the guest host. From the New York Post: ‘SNL’ COVID-19 outbreak cancels Paul Rudd live audience, Charli XCX out. Saturday night may not be so live from New York this week.
    “Saturday Night Live” was on the verge of canceling tonight’s final episode of the iconic sketch show’s 2021 season due to an in-house outbreak of positive COVID-19 cases.
    A set insider has revealed that “four actors” have tested positive for coronavirus — and “three others” have called out because they are now “fearful” about coming to NBC Studios at 30 Rockefeller Center, where the weekly sketch show is filmed in Midtown.
    Although some set sources claimed executive producer Lorne Michaels, 77, had tested positive, others have denounced that as “NOT” true — and confirmed that he’s actually on set overseeing tonight’s show right now.
    A source added that the “show must go on but don’t expect to see Colin Jost, Sarah Sherman or (Aristotle) Athari.” Jost, 39, usually hosts “Weekend Update” with Michael Che, 38, while Sherman, 28, and Athari, 30, are both newcomers to the ensemble this season.
    “Saturday Night Live” alum Tina Fey was reportedly in talks to substitute for “Weekend Update” anchor Colin Jost after a COVID-19 outbreak hit the show.
    Cecily Strong, 37, is one of the cast members who has voiced concern over the outbreak.
    In a statement to The Post, a show representative said: “Due to the recent spike in the Omicron variant and out of an abundance of caution, there will be no live audience for tonight’s taping of ‘Saturday Night Live’ and the show will have limited cast and crew. The show continues to follow all government safety guidelines in addition to a rigorous testing protocol.”
    The cast and crew were currently in rehearsals at Studio 8H for the episode — set to be hosted by Paul Rudd, 52, with musical guest Charli XCX, 29 — on Saturday afternoon, adding that “you know who” — meaning Michaels — was “trying to hold on” and continue with the show.
    Charli XCX has already confirmed via Twitter that she’s “devastated and heartbroken” over being forced to bail on the final show of the season:
    Meanwhile, the mood is grim in Midtown.
    “Everyone is fearful here,” an insider said. It would be Rudd’s fifth time hosting the series.

    A YOUNG WOMAN DISAPPEARS AFTER A SNAPCHAT RENDEZVOUS – HOW THE DEATH OF A TRANSGENDER TEEN INSPIRED A NEW LAW Preview
    “48 Hours” Investigates the Groundbreaking Case in “The Life and Death of Nikki Kuhnhausen”
    Nikki Kuhnhausen disappeared after connecting with a man in a Snapchat rendezvous. Her murder inspired a new law and started a nationwide movement. 48 HOURS and Jamie Yuccas investigate the groundbreaking case and the impact it continues to have on LGBTQI communities in “The Life and Death of Nikki Kuhnhausen,” to be broadcast Saturday, Dec. 18 (10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+.
    The murder of Kuhnhausen illustrates the real-life dangers and struggles many in the transgender community face every day, says her mother, Lisa Woods. Prosecutors, experts and Kuhnhausen’s friends talk about the challenges faced by transgender people and how her death will not be forgotten.
    Prosecutors say Kuhnhausen, 17, vanished from Vancouver, Wash., in June 2019, just hours after meeting David Bogdanov, then 25, and exchanging messages on Snapchat. Afterward, Bogdanov, too, seemingly disappeared. Four months later in a meeting with police, Bogdanov told them the last time he had seen Kuhnhausen was when he asked her to get out of his car, after she told him she was transgender.
    He told police he was “shocked to find that out. And just uncomfortable and really, really disturbed.” Bogdanov told police he had no idea where Kuhnhausen went after she left him.
    “This is a narrative and a story that plays out … all the time,” says Devon Davis Williamson, a transgender activist and co-founder of the Justice for Nikki Task Force. “When trans people go missing, they’re usually found deceased.”
    “I prayed and prayed to bring my baby home, just bring my baby home to me,” says Woods.
    Six months after she disappeared, Kuhnhausen’s body was discovered by a hiker on Larch Mountain. Bogdanov was arrested after cell tower data placed his phone where Kuhnhausen’s body was found.
    “Most of the time in our culture and our country, if a trans person is killed, there is not an arrest made,” Williamson says. “We think it’s right around 30% of trans people who are murdered … have someone arrested and fully prosecuted.”
    Prosecutors and investigators say Bogdanov killed Kuhnhausen in a hate-filled rage after learning she was transgender. At his trial, Bogdanov said he killed Kuhnhausen in self-defense when, he says, she reached for his gun. He testified that he panicked after realizing she was dead and dumped her body at Larch Mountain. He was found guilty of her murder and malicious harassment, a hate crime. He was sentenced to the maximum, 19 and a half years in prison.
    Kuhnhausen’s mother and supporters from the Justice for Nikki Task Force were determined something positive should come from her death. They worked with legislators in Washington to pass Nikki’s Law. It’s designed to prevent defendants charged with violent crimes from using sexual orientation or gender identity as an excuse for violence, the so-called “gay” or “trans panic defense.”
    “I’m glad it will help other people,” Woods says. “I want her death to mean something to someone who may contemplate hurting another transgender person.”
    48 HOURS “The Life and Death of Nikki Kuhnhausen” is produced by Susan Mallie. Mead Stone is the producer-editor. Jennifer Terker is a producer. Gayane Keshishyan Mendez is the development producer. Emma Steele is the field producer. Greg Kaplan, Marcus Balsam and Phil Tangel are the editors. Lauren Turner Dunn is the associate producer.

TV Interview!

Ryan McPartlin, Jana Kramer and Maria Menounos in Lifetime's "The Holiday Fixup"

Interview with Ryan McPartlin, Jana Kramer and Maria Menounos of “The Holiday Fixup” on Lifetime by Suzanne 11/8/21

This is a fun movie, particularly if you like DIY projects, and the press panel for the movie was highly entertaining. These are some very attractive people, for one thing. Ryan was on “Passions” years ago, and he still looks great! Of course, it goes without saying that everyone’s acting is top of the line, too. I’ve enjoyed all of the Lifetime holiday movies this year. I hope you do, too.

MODERATOR:

Hi, everyone. Our next panel is “The Holiday Fixup.” Please welcome EP and stars, Jana Kramer, and Ryan McPartlin, and star Maria Menounos.

JANA KRAMER:

Hi. Hi, guys. Hi, Ryan. Hi, Maria.

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

Hi, guys.

JANA KRAMER:

Hi.

MARIA MENOUNOS:

Hi. Can you guys hear me?

JANA KRAMER:

The team’s all back.

MARIA MENOUNOS:

I know.

MODERATOR:

Before we get into the questions, today we have a pre-submitted question. What was it like filming a holiday movie all together in the dead of summer in Connecticut?

JANA KRAMER:

(Laughs.).

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

(Laugh.) I love your laugh.

JANA KRAMER:

Exactly that. Exactly that.

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

It’s perfect. That’s it.

JANA KRAMER:

Yeah.

MARIA MENOUNOS:

It was hot. It was so fun though. I love these guys so much. Jana and Ryan are gems, and we just have the best time.

JANA KRAMER:

Yeah. I will say that, I feel like we got pretty lucky guys. Like it could have been —

MARIA MENOUNOS:

Yeah.

JANA KRAMER:

I mean, we had a few (hot) days, but the days that we were outside I felt like we were blessed with not like, you know (not too hot)– And I think there was only one day, I was like “I think I might pass out.” But, Ryan, it doesn’t matter if it was sunny or not, Ryan was going to always have a fan —

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

Oh, yeah.

JANA KRAMER:

Whether it was sunny, not sunny. I mean, that man sweats so much, like, thank God it wasn’t hotter —

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

It didn’t help that I was taking a supplement that I found out afterwards —

JANA KRAMER:

Yep.

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

— causes excessive sweating.

JANA KRAMER:

Uh huh.

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

And then we’re in sweaters in the dead of summer, and I’ve done this multiple times, as Jana has as well, — so I’m always preparing the crew and production saying, hey, we need some ice packs. We need fans standing by. I need dryers to dry the hair. I didn’t want to hold up production…and somehow it’s always like the afterthought, right? And then when the sweat starts coming and you’re holding up production everybody’s like send as many people to the store as possible. We need to get fans. We need dryers. We need everything.

JANA KRAMER:

I needed Gatorade. That was my ask. I was like I need a Gatorade. I’m feeling lightheaded…but it was so fun —

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

I was a little upset that when I was pouring sweat, I’d look at you guys and you’re like, no, not a drop.

JANA KRAMER:

We glisten. Ryan sweats. Maria and I didn’t —

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

Yeah. That’s right. That’s right.

MODERATOR:

Suzanne. Please let us know your question.

QUESTION:

Oh, hi, guys. I enjoyed the movie. I’m not really into DIY, but what about you? Ryan, do you do DIY in real life? (Laughter.)

JANA KRAMER:

Wait, can I answer that, please?

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

Go ahead. Go ahead.

JANA KRAMER:

Because the first time that I ever met Ryan — Suzanne, thank you for watching the movie — but the first time that Ryan and I actually Facetime’d he was trying to hang blinds, I think it was, and doing a terrible job. So, Ryan,  —

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

And that was the last time I’ve done anything around the house. Well, no, no, no…I had to fix a doorknob last night. I went to Home Depot and then Loew’s – had three different people explain to me how to do it, and I was like, I’m just going to hire somebody. It’s not my jam.

JANA KRAMER:

Yeah.

QUESTION:

Okay. Well, and the snowball fight was the most fun of all the movie, I thought. Was that as fun for you to shoot as it was for us to watch?

JANA KRAMER:

Yeah.

MARIA MENOUNOS:

It was super fun, and that was the hottest day, too, you guys. That was the only day that was excruciating —

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

It was the hottest day.

JANA KRAMER:

Yeah. That was the hottest day, and then I feel like, Maria, you and I became a little competitive. Like we were legit pushing each other at the start of doing that. We’re like “it’s going down” —

MARIA MENOUNOS:

Yeah.

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

That was Brian Herzlinger, our director – he wanted to have his “Saving Private Ryan” moment where he was going to get all this camera action and get the really artistic movement as — Well, you see it in the trailer as Maria and Jana are just unloading on each other and getting very competitive with each other.

MARIA MENOUNOS:

It was so fun

JANA KRAMER:

Yeah.

QUESTION:

Oh, thank you.

JANA KRAMER:

It was kind of funny, too, Brian wanted a “Saving Private Ryan” moment. Like you do know this is a Christmas movie, right? But it was so much fun —

MARIA MENOUNOS:

Oh, and actually these guys championed my husband having a cameo in the movie, and that was the scene he made the snow. He’s Nick the Snowman.

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

Nick the Snowman.

MARIA MENOUNOS:

Um hm.

JANA KRAMER:

Yeah.

QUESTION:

Oh. Great. Thank you so much.

MARIA MENOUNOS:

Thank you.

MODERATOR:

Thank you. That’s awesome. Damina, your question next?

JANA KRAMER:

Oh, you’re muted, sweetie. Can we unmute her?

MODERATOR:

We can come back. We’ll come back – – Oh, there you are. Damina? Okay, we’ll come back. Steven, you’re up next. Steven.

JANA KRAMER:

How’s the photo, Ryan? Do you need your ID?

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

I got you. I got you. You always get me every time and I never know it until later.

QUESTION:

Did you guys call me?

MODERATOR:

Yes.

JANA KRAMER:

Yeah, it’s your turn, buddy.

QUESTION:

Thank you. Here we go. All right. So, yes, talk to us about this amazing film. Ryan, I see that you’re doing your thing. You’ve still out here ever since the “Passions” days.

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

Thank you for that.

QUESTION:

Oh, yeah. You look amazing. All of you look great.

MARIA MENOUNOS:

Thank you.

QUESTION:

Happy holidays.

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

Yeah. Happy Holidays to you. Go ahead, Jana.

QUESTION:

So, talk to us about the film, and how is it? Is it challenging coming up with the chemistry between cast members? How long does that normally take?

JANA KRAMER:

Ryan, you kick it off.

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

Well, we got to Zoom…Jana and I, fortunately, had all these Zoom’ing sessions with our writer who is amazing, Jessica Etting. And so there was a couple times that Jana and I were on the same page — but not some of the other voices, because there’s a whole lot of voices — and you just look at the camera in one of these Zoom meetings and you’d kind of look at each other and try and stifle a little of laughter…it was like being in class and just locking eyes with somebody who was in on the joke. And so Jana and I felt like we were in on the same joke that everybody wasn’t in on, and that kind of kicked off our friendship.

JANA KRAMER:

Yeah. No, we had…I mean, pretty much instant chemistry. The same with Maria and I. Every time I’ve been with Maria, we had that and I’m like, oh, that’s going to be easy to play best friends with her, because every time I see her I feel like she’s such a close friend. And then with Ryan it’s like we had that kind of, you know — that brotherly/sister, fun banter, fun – it’s that good energy. So that part was really easy, to have the chemistry. And then we were all teammates together. We all helped each other out, and when I got super tired, Ryan was there to pump me up.

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

There was no pumping you up when were that tired. When you’re that tired nobody can do anything about it. But I will say, back to the chemistry with Maria, too — Maria and I started talking about trying to do something in the Christmas space together at least two years ago, right? Sometime around two years ago…

MARIA MENOUNOS:

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

And when I saw her at a Christmas party, I was like, oh, my God, I got to talk to Maria about being in this space…and Maria and I have known each other for years. I threw a touchdown pass, or was it you to me? No, it was me to you, right?

MARIA MENOUNOS:

You to me, yeah. (I throw it back @ 00:28:34) —

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

Yeah. It was, yeah, we have the footage. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

MARIA MENOUNOS:

I’m such a giver.

Ryan McPartlin and Jana Kramer in "The Holiday Fixup" on Lifetime 11/8RYAN MCPARTLIN:

Yeah. Well, you did throw an extra point then. You were playing quarterback and played like — did a two-point conversion. It was amazing. I got the footage.

MARIA MENOUNOS:

Oh, you’re right.

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

Yep. But, no, Maria — when I saw her at this party that we were at, I was like, Maria, you have to be in this Christmas space and then…you go, Maria, I don’t want to monopolize this conversation.

MARIA MENOUNOS:

Not at all. Yeah, I’ve said this, I think it was just super cool. Ryan saw a little doc that I did on my experience with my parents getting COVID at the same time, and I did this little like 19-minute piece, and he saw it and sent me this beautiful email about how much it moved him, and how he was going to really kind of cherish those moments with his family even more, and it was just a beautiful letter…and one thing led to another and all of a sudden, I was getting on a plane to Connecticut to make this movie with them. And it was very much needed for me at the time. I just lost my mom, and I got to go back to Connecticut, and stay in my bed, and be with my dad, and get to have fun with these guys every day. And I do think that it’s super rare to have just such instant chemistry with everybody, and we all just clicked so fast and so easily. I was doing Jana’s makeup at one point. Jana’s fanning Ryan. Like everybody was helping each other, and it was really special. So, I told them, I’m like, I just want to be able to do this every summer with you guys, because I love them so much, and we have just such a great team all around.

MODERATOR:

That’s really beautiful. Thank you. Thank you so much. And, Jana, wow. Ryan really coming for you about being tired on set. We have your back.

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

Thank you.

MODERATOR:

And, Jamie, the next question is from you. Jamie Ruby, sorry. We have another Jamie.

QUESTION:

I was going to say which Jamie.

MODERATOR:

Sorry, Jamie Ruby.

QUESTION:

It’s okay. And, Maria, I think you sort of just answered this partially but maybe you can add more to it, but for all of you, what was it originally though that made you want to do this film?

JANA KRAMER:

I’ll start — because I had had a meeting about a different movie a few days prior to talking to Ryan and the producers of this film, and it was something about… Well, one of the reasons I really wanted to do it, because I’ve always wanted to work with Ryan and it was cool because there wasn’t a script, so I was able to kind of put my two cents into it. This is Ryan’s idea that he’s had for a long time, so it was cool to be able to actually collaborate and help bring the story to life as opposed to showing up on the page. Because usually we just get the script and we read it, we like it, or we don’t. But to be able to kind of have a say was really cool and one of the main draws of doing this film. I was like, okay, cool, I can actually have a little bit of a say in it, and Ryan was open to all of that. So that was neat.

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

She had a lot of say in it, not just a little bit of say, because when — It’s not that you’re that over opinionated, Jana –It’s like I really respected her opinions and she had very good input, ideas, story points. She’s done this, you know, she’s done as many of these as probably I have, I’d say. And you don’t want the redundancy of doing the same story over-and-over-again. So, you look for ways to say how can it be different? How is it different than the other stuff out there, and that’s what I’m really proud of — especially how we would talk out some of these things, if it was a real relationship and a real life and we were playing real exes. And the way that I saw the story ending is not necessarily the way that Jana saw it from her perspective. So, when our writer, Jessica Koosed Etting, heard her response if I said one thing and then Jana said, well, I would say this — it just turned everything. So, you got to kind of play like you would in, you know, onstage in a theater, in a class together. And you go, oh, that’s interesting…if that’s how you would really react let’s work that into the story and still tie it up nicely to deliver to the audience what they expect, but in a different way than that expect it.

JANA KRAMER:

Sure, yep.

MODERATOR:

Our next question is from Jamie Steinberg.

QUESTION:

Hi, thank you guys so much for your time. Jana and Ryan if you could talk about how you stepped in as executive producers. Was this something of a passion project that came across your desk, or did they offer you a role of EP after you singed on to the film?

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

No, this was something where if you are involved creatively as an actor, from the get-go, like we both were you know — this started with Jessica Koosed Etting and I flushing out a different story, but then we adapted it towards Christmas a little bit, and then quite honestly the whole thing changed when Jana came onboard. We just started talking about the movies we loved. Jana, if you want to talk about that and some of the romantic comedies, some of the Christmas movies we loved…and we started saying, okay, what are those themes that we want to play with.

JANA KRAMER:

Yeah, and that’s something, too, because Ryan and I have done so many of these Christmas movies it was something that I had a conversation with Lifetime about and was like, I really want to be able to bring my ideas to the table. So, I would like to moving forward be able to executive produce, just so that way I, you know — because making Christmas movies are so much fun. They’re easy. They’re light. They’re fun — but I also want to bring a little bit of complications to things, or a little bit of my own touch to things and to have that voice, and that way. I don’t know, Ryan, if it felt the same way for you, but I felt really, really, really, proud of this one, because I felt like I had so much more to…I offered so much more in this film than I have in the other ones. And, yeah, I loved all the other ones, but this one…I was like, man, this is — It’s the first thing I’ve ever executive produced! So that was kind of cool to just be like — I was proud of myself and I was proud of you. It was fun.

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

Yeah. And I feel like, you know, Maria, hopefully, you felt your voice was the heard the same as, any producer or actor would be — come on in if they had ideas and wanted to play. It was nice because it was like a safe artists’ space, you know. That’s what we wanted to create.

MARIA MENOUNOS:

A hundred percent. I will say they were amazing executive producers. Not only did they feed the crew, got coffee trucks — they did all the things that really great producers do to keep everybody happy, keep everybody going. They always say it starts at the top and literally it was a perfect experience all the way through for everybody. We all loved it. We all had the best time. Everybody was excited, and everybody was onboard with making the best movie we could while having fun. So that is why I’m committed to how do we do this every summer together? How do we add in some time where we always can make a movie together, keep the same crew, keep the same thing…

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

Yeah. I’d love that. And we also got to give credit to Stephanie and Margaret, our other executive producers —

JANA KRAMER:

Absolutely.

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

— they really gave us that freedom to jump in and produce alongside them. They did a lot of the hard, dirty work, I’d say, as producers dealing with the budgets and the overtime and the schedules and all that stuff since we really want to stay in the creative space, and that’s what we were able to do, thank God.

JANA KRAMER:

Although, I think that part’s fun, but I’ll do that later.

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

Yeah.

MODERATOR:

Thank you. Our next question is from Jay Bobbin.

QUESTION:

Hello, everyone. Maria, have you ever interviewed Jana? Is that where this friendship started, and if that is where it started, how do you remember the interview going?

MARIA MENOUNOS:

Well, I will say that I have zero memory. This is where I throw my brain tumor card down. I can’t remember anything. My husband’s my USB drive…but, yes, I know I’ve interviewed Jana — but we were also friendly just in the business and with Ryan the same thing. So, I can’t say I remember the first moment I laid eyes on this beautiful woman.

JANA KRAMER:

I remember you helped me out with “Dancing with the Stars” because I remember you were there at “Dancing with the Stars” and Val was your partner, right? He was like you —

MARIA MENOUNOS:

Yeah. No, Val, he was like the fake doctor on the set.

JANA KRAMER:

Yeah. He’s like you need to talk to Maria, because she also hurt her ribs or something like that. So, I just remember you being so nice and just so willing to… I mean, we talked for a while and then it just, again, it just felt like — man, we’re talking like we’re real friends. It was such a friendly conversation —

MARIA MENOUNOS:

Yeah.

JANA KRAMER:

I just remember hanging up on that and being like, wow, she’s special, a special person.

MARIA MENOUNOS:

Thanks. Thanks, friend. Yeah, I never remember how I meet anybody, to be honest, because I am just I’m so excited to see everybody and meet people when I meet them that it just floats away.

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

Except for when someone throws you a touchdown pass.

MARIA MENOUNOS:

Yes. But you just had to remind me that I threw you a two-point conversion. I don’t remember —

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

Yeah. That’s right.

QUESTION:

Thank you.

MODERATOR:

Thank you.

JANA KRAMER:

Thanks, (Jay @ 00:38:09).

MODERATOR:

We have time for one last question. Samantha.

QUESTION:

Hi. Jana, I’m really curious about with the social media aspect of this role, I loved how you all really leaned into the positive aspects of it just with the world complaining so much about the problems, and I’m just curious about the intention behind making that such a large part of your character’s job in the film.

JANA KRAMER:

Yeah. It was fun. I mean, especially because I’m like “I don’t know how to do this.” Meanwhile, my whole entire life is social media, so that was kind of fun to do that. But also, I think what I learned…actually, yes, we showed how it can bring people together. But, for me, personally, what I took away from the movie the most is actually about putting the phone down. It’s what we always talked about, the one character, Rita’s character — where it’s back in the day when we didn’t have the cell phones and we were able to just disconnect and be in a room together and not be glued to Instagram or the phone. And that’s what I took away from it the most – it is just having that distraction away to really just be present with the people in front of me. So that’s something that I would like to lean more into.

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

I think that social media caught us all by storm, you know, and there were no rules. There was no teaching moment. We didn’t come up in school with teachers saying you should compartmentalize this. And then the job of these apps and the social media companies is to see how many hours they can get out of your day spent on these apps. So, there is a lot of benefit to it and there’s a lot of, you know, businesses that thrive from it. Our small business that we have came about because of social media and there’s a lot of charities that do very well — but it is a danger, and it’s going to be. It’s interesting that the back-and-forth that our characters had about compartmentalizing and what to use it for, and how to use it, and I think that’s a real conversation that should be had in every household right now.

JANA KRAMER:

Um hm.

MODERATOR:

Thank you so much. Thank you to the cast and Eps of “The Holiday Fixup.” Please make sure to tune in on December 11.

JANA KRAMER:

Thanks, guys. Appreciate it. Thank you very much —

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

Thank you.

JANA KRAMER:

Thank you very much.

MARIA MENOUNOS:

Bye.

JANA KRAMER:

Do we hang up now? Okay. Bye, guys.

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

Bye, guys.

MARIA MENOUNOS:

Okay, bye.

RYAN MCPARTLIN:

We’ll talk to you all later.

JANA KRAMER:

Okay.

Belle came in when Brady was yelling at Chloe. He asked Belle if he thought he was capable of hurting Philip. Belle said no one knew if anyone was murdered. Brady said that didn’t sound convincing.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

. That’s what we have for you today on this hey. Hey. You left for work so early, you didn’t even say “morning.” Oh. Good morning. I’m sorry. Nah. I’m sorry, christmas is gonna be here before you know it, and it’s on a saturday, so I think we’re gonna be busier than ever.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Yeah. What? Problem? Yeah, I just got an e-mail from my supplier — says there’s a shortage of marzipan.

[ Stammers ] Okay, I have to go talk to the chef. I’ll be right back. Ah. Your wife certainly throws herself into her work, doesn’t she? Uh… well, the holidays are busy. True. And I suppose I’d fill up my days with work, too, if I’d lost a dear friend like jason. I trust that you’re keeping yourself busy, too.

[ Footsteps approaching ] Who’s there?

[ Door opens ] Take it easy. You have a visitor. No! No, no visitors, not unless there’s bulletproof glass between us. Relax. It’s law enforcement. What’s the matter? Did you have a bad dream? Chase. Hey, what’s wrong? What isn’t? Look, I hate being suspended from work. It was one thing when I was sick, but now I just feel useless. I get it. Again, I’m so, so sorry. I can’t stop thinking about the look on willow’s face when she found out that I was the father to your baby. Okay, just for clarification, I did not make you do that. That was — that was your choice. But it was all I could think of to protect maxie’s secret. I mean, that’s the most important thing, right? Keeping peter from finding out that bailey is really louise. Yeah. So what, are you here to face the music, even if that means willow will never speak to you again? No. I’m here to step up, assume the role of bailey’s father ’cause everybody has to believe that I’m the real deal. So I’m gonna start — I’m gonna start changing diapers and playing with bailey and… do what any other proud papa would do.

[ Laughs ] Good morning. You’re in a good mood today.

[ Laughs ] Aren’t you? I mean, my neck’s a little stiff from the chair. Well, I think that is a small price to pay to wake up and face this day together. Can you believe it? Today is the day our baby will be coming home. Nina: Any updates on sasha’s baby? We’re still on hold. But if I had information, I — we understand. It’s confidential. Family only. Can only imagine what’s going through their minds right now. I mean, hoping for the best, then worried the worst will happen. The hardest part is not knowing, hey. I still have faith. Louise is going to come home to you. Thank you, britt. I have faith, too. Of course, louise might already be home if nina had just called the police when peter showed up in nixon falls. Maybe i should go to crimson and just leave you here to visit sasha. No, I won’t have any of that. Look, it doesn’t help to second-guess anything. Choices were made. Peter will get what’s coming to him, okay? And my baby will come home. I really hope so. I truly do. But at what cost? Whatever it takes. Michael, wiley’s hoping his daddy has some time to go pick out a christmas tree for the gatehouse today. Uh, you know, maybe tomorrow. Oh, so you haven’T… changed your mind about appearing at brad’s parole hearing. Look, it’s my duty as wiley’s father. I’m gonna do whatever I can to make sure that brad never comes near our son again. I instructed my friend on the board to, uh, vote in favor of brad’s parole. But you got to understand something — michael, h-he wants to speak at that hearing. And he wants brad to serve out his full sentence. So I don’t know what guarantee you have of this going your way. Things might be different if jason were around to “guarantee” things. Jason wouldn’t be able to tell michael any more than I would. Admirable. However, I have to think others might be “persuaded” by jason’s mere presence, if he was still around. I’ve held off talking about this topic out of respect, but I believe it’s in everyone’s interest if you begin to consider just — so, what, are you — are you saying we should move on? Move on from what?

I feel like I’ve been counting every second for the last 71 hours and 42 minutes, but all the worry and the stress will be all worth it when dr. Westbourne and the other doctors say that the special therapy to cool liam’s brain has worked and the eeg confirms it. I’m sorry. Am I rubbing you too hard? No, brando. You have done everything right, from holding my hand to making me laugh to sending me pictures of our sweet little boy so I can be reminded what this is all about. Hey, I love this one. Oh.

[ Chuckles ] I know you’re committed to keeping wylie safe, just like I am. That is our first priority. But? But if your dad is willing to give brad another chance — no, this — this is just a business move for my dad. That’s — brad’s aunt, selina, is a business associate of my father’s, and he thinks that she can keep brad away from wylie, and I don’t agree. Look, I don’t claim to understand all the ins and outs of your dad’s business, but it doesn’t seem smart for brad’s aunt to break her word with your dad. That might have been true before when jason was still here. I mean, now that he’s, uh — he’s gone, that — the level of enforcement is gone. I know… I know you’re grieving for jason. Why don’t we…forget about the parole hearing today? Forget brad and nina and everyone else you think you have to protect us from. Let’s enjoy today. You know, the three of us have a chance to shop for a christmas tree. Wiley’s old enough to really enjoy that. Let’s celebrate that.

[ Door opens ] You look like something scared you half to death. Not something. Someone. Uh-huh? Sonny corinthos has all but put a bull’s-eye on my back. That’s hard to believe that there’s room for yet another target on your back. I’m not joking. Look around. Which one of the guards is on his payroll? Even here in solitary, I don’t feel safe, not with a corinthos hit on me. We, uh — we were just discussing her nephew’s, uh, parole hearing. I hope we can move forward from the mistakes in judgment bradley made. Okay, I-I know sonny has agreed not to interfere with brad’s parole as a favor to you, but my son, he has a mind of his own, and michael plans on testifying against your nephew. These situations have a way of sorting themselves out, as your husband knows. My family is best served… with peter taken care of. So see to it that it happens. As long as everyone keeps up with his — or her — end of the bargain… …we’re good. Consider it done. Yeah. I always liked selina. As the only woman running one of the families, she’s tough and she’s fair. But business is business, right? Agreed. Yeah. Exactly what bargain did I walk in on just now?

Alright, this isn’t fair. Nobody should look this beautiful after a c-section.

[ Laughs ] Well, you can thank my new stylist for that. Wow, brando. We’ll just add this to the list of talents, okay? Uh, georgie forgot her lunch, so maxie had to bring it to her, okay? She’ll be here in a second. Is there anything you can’t do? If there is, then I haven’t discovered it yet.

[ Laughs ] Hello there, gang. Hey. Hi, listen, I, uh, come bearing goodies. I had to sneak them past the nurses’ station. I didn’t want to bear the wrath of epiphany. So guess what — your favorite

[Singsong voice] Gummy bears. Wow. Well, it looks like I am literally the odd man out. I’m gonna leave you with your friends. If you see dr. Westbourne, bring her in here right away. Promise. Excuse me, ladies. Mm-hmm. Okay, let’s dig in to these. I think — you know, it’s a new place. I don’t know if they have your favorite, favorite one. Sasha: Mm, do you have cherry? What are the green ones? Nina: Oh, let me try a green one.

[ Indistinct conversation ]

[ Elevator bell dings ] Chase, he’s got a lot to learn. Can you believe this guy didn’t even know the name of our diaper service? Hmm. I just think we’re lucky we can afford to use one. Cloth diapers are so much better for the environment than disposable ones. Yeah, yeah. Couldn’t agree more, willow. Violet was way past the age of, uh, diapers when she came into finn’s life, so this is all new to me. Well, too bad you didn’t come forward as bailey’s dad, you know. Instead, you focused on making willow feel guilty for wanting to be with me and wiley while she was married to you. I didn’t come forward because I didn’t know, michael. Well, you did know that you slept with brook lynn around the same time that she got pregnant, so the fact that you didn’t even ask is a pretty clear indication that you just didn’t want to know. Wow. Oh, wow. Do you hear that? Bailey, she, um… really needs us, chase. Bailey didn’t make a noise. Okay, here’s the deal. The other day when all of this came out and you guys rushed off to be with sasha and brando, that was before we could deal with this news. We can’t keep avoiding this forever. Is there any way that we can get past this? I’m not gonna deny that there isn’t some satisfaction in seeing you like this…

[ Scoffs ] …But the reality is that you’re safer in here than, uh, the gold in fort knox. But sonny wants me dead. I’m sure he does, as do a lot of people. But his hands are tied. He knows that since he got back to town, he’s been in the spotlight. You really expect me to believe that there’s no credible threat against my life. Sonny is too smart to risk it. Trust me. He knows that law enforcement has been watching his every move. Still, we both know that… …you’ve made a lot of enemies. Meaning what? Meaning if you want to stay alive, you’re gonna have to save yourself. Selina, she’s — she’s suggested that, uh, maybe it’s time we… think about replacing jason. Replace jason? I mean, that’s impossible. He’s — irreplaceable. Yeah. And you know that. Yeah. You know, jason — I loved jason. He’s like a brother to me. But like my dad always said, you know, “graveyards are full of indispensable men.” I mean, I-I was one of them. I know. I remember. And you are irreplaceable. Nothing was the same or could be the same without you. Right. I mean… and you had to — you had to carry on for the family, for the life we built together. Nobody knew that more than jason, and even when I came back and… it threw me that you guys were together. Doesn’t matter because there was a void, jason had to fill it. And now that he’s gone, because of how much we loved him and how much he — he loved us… we have to do the same.

goingabsolutely great lately, and it’s largely because of your role as the “face of conception,” and the public is so excited. Everything is turning out so well. Financial institutions really, really want to get behind us. So, drum roll

[Inhales deeply] We’re thinking of taking the company public. Think about it. We would all get our initial investment back. Not to mention, you have to think about the future. Well, this sounds very exciting, lucy, and — and I’m glad that you shared the news with me. But, um, the only future that matters to me right now is laying in an incubator in the nicu. Uh, dr. Fleming. Hi. I’m just confirming that we can go ahead with the eeg of baby liam corbin. Great. Okay. Please send me the results as soon as you get them. I don’t know what I’m doing. Uh… I can’t remember the last time I came to church, and I certainly can’t remember the last time I made a confession. But liam, he’s opened my heart in so many more ways than I thought were possible. And I don’t know why he was born with so many obstacles to overcome. I guess that’s why I’m here. Until I can hold liam in my arms… …can you make sure he feels loved and feels safe? Let him know that his mom and dad are here for him. And we always will be. And that we need him, too. So, what brings you back by my office?

[ Chuckles ] Well, I think there are some things that, uh, we didn’t get a chance to say last night, or, more accurately, we avoided saying. Well, I was just trying to be gracious, nina, and avoid having this conversation. Gracious, yes, but you’re a doctor. You know that it’s not healthy to just stuff those feelings deep down inside. No, but talking about it isn’t going to change anything, so what’s the point? Britt, come on. Don’t you want to say it to my face? That your life could have been different if I just told the truth about peter? Okay, nina. You want to go down that road? Let’s go down that road. Why didn’t you call the cops when peter showed up in nixon falls? Why should willow make itany easier for you, chase? Because you — you wanted us to feel guilty for being in love, when the whole time you knew that you slept with brook lynn? Look, michael, you’re my cousin and I love you, but I’m not gonna let you call chase out for this. Thinking that he lied about being bailey’s father — he didn’T. He didn’t know because I deliberately kept it from him. I needed to get back my elq shares from valentin, and I just — I couldn’t think of another way. So if you’re looking to blame someone, blame me. Chase, I know how betrayed you felt when you learned about michael and me, but, eventually, you were able to make peace with it. And I’d be a hypocrite if I couldn’t do the same with you.

[ Sighs ] But you, brook lynn — you’re a whole different story. Oh, anna, what would you expect me to do now? What deal could I possibly cut? Nobody said anything about a deal. You have to confess.

[ Scoffs ] You can’t possibly mean that. I do. You have to own up to everything you’ve done, every single crime, and we’re not gonna stop there. You’re gonna give up your rights to your daughter so that maxie can have some peace of mind that somewhere down the line, whoever has louise will return her. In more simple terms, you have to take your punishment and you have to do it like a man. And why would I do all of that? Because… if you accept what you’ve done, if you face up to it, and if you stop all your endless games… maybe, just maybe, there’s something I can do for you. No one could ever replace you, sonny. And jason didn’t even try. And now, I mean… there’s no way we can replace jason. It’s — it’s impossible. I mean, y-you can find someone to take on his responsibilities or someone that you trust, but they’re just gonna be following in jason’s footsteps, right? You can’t replace jason, and if you think you can, then you really did change when you were in nixon falls.

Hey, I’m sorry. I, um — I think that was just my misguided way to try and take your mind off things just for a little minute. Being a mom is hard, huh? It’s sometimes the most achingly, breathtakingly beautiful thing in the world, and then other times it breaks your heart. I don’t talk about this too much ’cause… I had several miscarriages, you know, and, um… I wanted to be a mom so badly, and I know I’m not the only woman in the world who’s ever had a miscarriage, but that’s why I’m so grateful because my friend dominique asked me to carry serena, and she also asked me to help raise her with scott. I-I — I can’t tell you what that m-meant to me, and even though my girl is living all the way across the ocean… …serena will always be my daughter in every way that counts. I-I don’t know. What — what — you know, what I’m trying to say is I know this is overwhelming and this is so hard. But eventually, somehow, you managed to cherish each and every moment, no matter how very, very scary.

[ Voice breaking ] Thank you, lucy. Thank you. I’m trying to do that. Cherish every single moment. I didn’t mean to intrude. I heard your baby’s in the nicu and I just wanted to see if…

[Scoffs] If you were okay. You know, there was a time that we used to be friends. Then stuff happened. You tried to rearrange my jaw. Yeah. Well, you know, I hope we’re past that now. I saw all of sasha’s friends in her room, and I just thought, if you needed somebody to talk to… I was actually talking to someone. Did they talk back?

[ Both laugh ] You know, my mom wanted me to be an altar boy so bad. So bad. That, you know, father hogan, he would have made me say 10 hail marys and probably run 10 laps if I made a joke like that. Oh, okay. My aunt stella would make me wash my mouth out with soap, for sure. For sure. For sure.

[ Both laugh ] Thanks, man. For what? For making me forget for two minutes that my son’s in the nicu fighting for his life when I could do is wait for him to win. Peter was blackmailing me. He said that he was gonna hurt james, britt. He also said that he was going to tell carly that sonny was alive and well in nixon falls. And avoiding trouble with carly was more important than making sure peter was stopped. No, I — I thought I could do both. By turning to my mother instead of calling the police? You know, britt, in hindsight, I know what I did was wrong, but at the moment, I was desperate. I needed someone that I could trust, someone that I could confide in. And you know what? It was your mother’s idea to go after peter, and you know better than anyone else that once liesl obrecht has something in her mind, there’s no stopping her. Well, too bad you didn’t think of that before you got her involved. I’m sorry. Y-you do realize you could have gotten my mother killed. I do. I love her. At least peter’s in prison. Jason is dead. Carly believes jason’s blood is on my hands. I’m sure you do, too. Brook lynn didn’t tell me I was bailey’s dad because she knew how I felt about you. She kept silent about bailey’s paternity so you and i could be together. There’s a little bit more to it than that. She also did it so the quartermaines could regain control of elq. Oh, yeah, that’s what us quartermaines are taught our entire lives — put the company first. And obviously, I grew up with a warped idea of what a family is supposed to be. I thought other families, real families were different. Maybe not this one.

[ Sighs ] Hey, brook lynn, I, uh — I came here to see my daughter, so… right. Let’s go upstairs. Brook lynn, chase, wait. Our kids are around the same age. They’re both quartermaines, so they’re going to grow up together. I can’t speak for michael, but for the kids’ sake, I promise to get past this. Thank you. I hope you can forget about it, too. I-I can’t believe you would even suggest that I give up my parental rights to louise. That — that would mean giving up all hope of ever being a family with maxie. Oh, come on. That was an illusion. It died a long time ago. Louise and maxie are what keep me… human. I — [ Sighs ] I won’t give them up.

[ Door opens ] Time’s up. That means your arraignment’s starting soon. All the pain you’ve caused, all the lives you ruined and cut short, death isn’t good enough for you. The trouble with me is that I still believe in the justice system. If you own what you’ve done… I will do what I can.

[ Door closes ] I can’t deny my time away from you changed me. But when I came back, not to pick up where we left off, but I wanted us to get closer and — and — and just be better, you know, for our kids. I want that, too. I really want that, so it doesn’t matter what selina wu wants, or — or the people that think they know what’s best for us because we know what’s best. We know what we want. H-have I said that, I — I want you, mrs. Corinthos?

[ Chuckles ] I want you. Only you. No one’s here. We’re not open yet. You think that’s gonna stop me?

Try not to let your imagination get the best of you. Your son is going to have his eeg test soon. Don’t get in your head, okay? Enjoy the fact that sasha survived a difficult birth and is doing better. Focus on the positive. The test results will come when they come. I know. You’re right, man. Thank you. I-I know. I’ve been trying to do that. It’s just… it’s a good reminder.

[ Sighs ] When I left sasha’s room, her friends had her laughing.

[ Indistinct conversation ]

[ Sighs ] Brando. You’re back. Uh, lucy was just showing me the latest deception baby care products. Uh, yep, organic, hypoallergenic, of course, and adorable, I have to say so myself. Uh, well, I-I hate to ruin the party, um, but first things first, we should be hearing from the doctor soon. Oh, shoot! I didn’t know I had been here quite that long. I’m so sorry. I’ll get out of your hair, and, um… let me help you. Hey. Oh. I am so rooting for you. And I’m rooting for all of you. Well, thank you. What a lovely gentleman. Absolutely. Okay, take care. Bye. You’ve got my number, brando. If you have any questions with medical lingo or… anything, just call me. Thanks, man. Thank you. Appreciate it, T.J.

[ Sighs ] Lucy did a terrific job of distracting me, but, um… I guess we can’t avoid it any longer. It’s almost time, right? I’m not gonna play the blame game with you, nina. You made choices, and so did I. And I’m pretty sure if nathan was still here, he would probably tell me to “go pay it forward and help nina.”

[ Chuckles ] Thank you. You sound exactly like J. Hey, if I can come back, so can you. Mm. Mm-hmm. Cousin to cousin… you’ll be there for me? You’ll help me out? Yeah. Nathan wouldn’t have it any other way. Okay.

[ Telephone ringing ] Dr. Westbourne. Yeah, I’ll be right there. What, is — is that news about sasha’s baby?

[ Sighs ] That went well, don’t you think? As opposed to what, a firing squad? You gotta take what you can get. Seems like willow’s gonna give you a pass, whereas everyone thinks I am the next cruella de vil. I hope you know that what you’re doing is very noble, brook lynn.

[ Scoffs ] Noble. Not exactly a word used to describe me, ever. Okay, well, one day, your family will know the good thing that you’ve done. But while peter is still a potential threat to maxie and louise, we’re in this. What other choice could we have made? I’m not complaining, but what was that for? I’m just still amazed by how generous you are, how willing you are to forgive. Let’s be clear — forgiving chase is one thing. Brook lynn… is a whole other story. Yeah, that’s gonna be a — a longer road, for sure. But as long as we’re on the topic of forgiveness, if I can forgive chase and, hopefully soon, brook lynn, do you think you might be able to find it in your heart to forgive brad?

[ Keys jingle ]

[ Cart rattles ] Pass on the breakfast. I don’t trust it. Fine. We’ll give it to the next inmate. Wait, bring it back. You heard him. The happiest day of my life was when you came back to me.

[ Sighs ] That makes two of us. Um… you know what? What? It all started with the dreams. Blonde woman in a dream, and, uh… …and then you became a-a reality.

I feel like I’ve been pretty consistent on this issue. I’m gonna do whatever it takes to make sure that our family’s safe. And that’s not limited to keeping brad in prison and away from our son. The same rules apply to nina. Look, this — this is a black-and-white subject to me. There’s nothing gray about it. Sonny: Whatever happened between us in nixon falls, it has to come from me. And it will. Okay. I get it. But…despite all the pain that it caused — and I know that we’re going on with our lives — it’s just I need to let you know that the love that we shared is the purest thing that I’ve ever known in my life. And I am sorry — I am so sorry — but I could never… regret that. Michael: And I understand how you could give chase a pass, and then maybe someday forgive brook lynn. And I also get that you and brad were close in the past, but I gotta be honest. Nina’s a different story. I can’t help but wonder why you’re so forgiving of her. I know we can lean on each other, but it is nice having friends that could back us up, too. Right? And when the doctors give us the news, we will deal with that. Whatever it takes to give liam a long and happy life, starting today.

[ Door opens ] What do you say, chase? You ready for some diaper changing 101? Oh, I’m up for the challenge.

[ Laughing ] Yeah. You know, I think with a little practice, I could actually be pretty good.

[ Chuckles ] But I do hope, for maxie’s sake, that all the lies stop soon. Yeah, me too. It isn’t enough that peter is in custody. It seems like maxie’s not gonna feel safe for her or her baby until peter is dead and buried. You were the key. The second I remembered you… I remembered all of it. All I wanted to do was come home. I just wanted to be with you, my family, my life.[ Elevator doors open ] This is where I belong.

[ Footsteps approaching ] This is my home. Yeah. Excuse me, sorry. I didn’t mean to interrupt. That’s okay. Carly, I wanted to say how sorry I am about jason. I-I’m — I’m very sorry. Thank you, anna. Sure. I have some things I need to do. Excuse me. Alright. You’re back. Yes. You know, the more I thought about it, the more I recognized that the subject of jason may have caused a miscommunication. But it’s all about wanting to protect you and your family. That’s what you and sonny both want, right? If you wanted to put the fear of god in peter, mission accomplished, alright? I just came from pentonville. So can you leave it at that and just let the law run its course? Anna, you give me way too much credit. Peter’s behind bars 24/7 with guards. Even if I wanted to get my hands dirty, how would I get him?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

don’t forget, mama carly. I won’T. Little liam is gonna love your present. But I’m gonna keep it with me right now because it’s getting pretty crowded in this room.

Okay, but promise

to kiss sasha. Already done. I’ll be home soon, sweetie. I love you. Love you, too.

[ Smooches ] A darling child. Oh. Hi, selina. Uh, thank you for the flowers. I was sorry to hear about mr. Morgan, but hope may yet prevail. Jason has a record of beating the odds. Well, I’m not a betting woman, but if I were, mr. Morgan is the safest bet there is. You here to see sonny? My business is not with your husband. Give my best to the family. Thank you. Okay, looks like you’re getting out of here tomorrow. I cannot believe you’re not a fan of nougat. I’m a fan of your nougat.

[ Laughs ] Naughty boy. Yeah, that’s what they tell me. Although, maybe not. It might be another three weeks, give or take. And caramel? Does it elicit the same response? Oh, yes. That’s like nectar from the gods.

[ Laughs ] Thank you. Excellent answer. By the way… I’m pregnant! Surprise! Quintuplets! Can you believe it?

[ Laughs ] Britta finds public displays of affection unseemly. Ah, how could you have given birth to such a prude? This? This is what love looks like. Hmm. If you say so. Mm-hmm. I, um — I need to talk to you about peter. I just came from seeing that bastard. What’s on your mind? Okay, well, I want to know what you’re gonna do about him. Okay. I want him dead. Okay, listen to me. Peter has to live. It’s getting late. I hadn’t noticed. I got a fire going in our bedroom, too. What do you say? You, me, our bearskin rug? Maybe later. Ouch. I’m a little preoccupied, that’s all. With? Rat kings. Not the answer I was expecting. They remind me of your family. Tales all knotted up together. Unable to break away. Destined to die together. Unless they do the painful thing… …and chew their way free. I miss you, too, kevin. So much. But the good news is that the fbi are getting close to finding the killer that cyrus hired. So I really don’t think that this thing is gonna go on that much longer. Hang on.

[ Faucet squeaks ]

[ Water stops ]

[ Thud ] S-stop struggling, and this will all be over. And don’t worry. I’ll see to it your sister joins you soon.

[ Echoing ]

Hey, britt, uh, really sorry about jason. Oh, thank you, but… we were long over. Pfffft. What does that mean? “Pfffft.” It’s not weak to admit you’re hurting, britta. I’m fine. Thank you both for your concern. A pox on that peter august. If only I’d ended his misbegotten life when I had the chance. The schwein would be brisket and none of this would have happened. And you’d be in prison. A small price to pay. Whoa, now. Bite your tongue. It’s very nice of you, aunt liesl, to try to take the blame, but we all know who’s responsible for peter’s latest reign of terror — I.E., Me. Um, I have some work to catch up on, so don’t stay up too late. Don’t pop any stitches. Do my best. Um… she seems to be holding up okay. It’s a facade. Over or not, jason is the closest britta has ever come to true love. And any chance of rekindling that is now over. Peter robbed her of it. Well, he’s not alone. Jason’s death is my fault, too. I’m sorry. This is my private office. I’m aware. Okay, well, all appointments need to go through my assistant. Better to keep this meeting off the books. Do I know you? No, but I know you. Well, now I feel left out. Please, introduce yourself. Who I am depends on you. I hope we’ll be friends. But if not, I’m willing to settle for a more transactional relationship. I take it you have my uncle victor on your mind. Don’t you? I’ve thought of little else since his visit this afternoon. You never should have thrown in with him, nikolas. I might not be alive if I hadn’T. I know. He saved your life. I’m grateful for that. But victor is just… he’s a little too “proactive” for my taste. To be clear… I didn’t ask my uncle to take it that far with hayden or naomi. No, I know. He took it upon himself. That’s what I mean. He’s too proactive. God help the next poor soul that falls victim to uncle victor’s instinct for enterprise.

[ Gagging ]

[ Clattering ]

[ Knock on door ] Everything okay in there? I’m coming in!

[ Door opens ] Be right there! Batter up!

[ Grunts ]

[ Panting ]

Silva: Mayor collins!

[ Pounding on door ] Mayor collins! Oh, please, call 911. What happened?! I don’t know if my brother’s breathing.

[ Panting ] Martin? Martin?

[ Groaning ] Oh.

[ Gagging, coughing ] Oh.

[ Gasping ] Was there a backup? I’m selina wu. Brad cooper’s aunt. No way. Way. Oh, brad never spoke much about his family. Is he okay? I’m surprised you have to ask. I was under the impression that you and my nephew were close. We were. Uh, we are. I’ve been away. And before that, uh, let’s just say there was a lot going on. It’s been hard to visit. I see. Why do I feel like I’m being judged? [ Chuckles ] Friendships are difficult to maintain even under the best of circumstances. Your rather fluid commitment to brad is not unexpected. Well, he’s still my friend and will continue to be. You don’t have to worry about me abandoning brad. But that’s precisely what I want. It is peter — with assistance from my reptilian ex, victor — who is to blame for jason’s fate. But, aunt liesl, if I didn’t call you when peter showed up in nixon falls — what else were you to do? Call the police! That schleim was blackmailing you with threats to sweet, adorable little james. Of course you needed me. Uh, you know what? I think this might be a good time to talk about your preliminary hearing here. You know, I have a good shot at getting the charges tossed out. Hearing? Charges? What are you accused of now? I thought you would have left by now. Hey. Where’s willow? Oh, she went to go home to be with wiley. I thought I’d stick around — you know, offer to be with liam in case sasha and brando want to take a break. Did you see the baby? Yeah. You take away the tubes and the machines… you’d never knew anything was wrong. He’s perfect. Yeah. I had placental abruption with you. Oh, yeah, uh, jason, he found you passed out on the floor, right? Yeah. Yeah, he was living at sonny’s old penthouse. Sonny was out of the country, and he wasn’t expected to return. And, uh [Chuckles] I showed up on the doorstep. And, of course, jason let me in. And I was nesting, and I had this terrible pain. And the next thing I know, jason’s there, and he is rushing me to the hospital. And I’m rushed in to an emergency c-section. Of course, I don’t remember any of that. I just remember waking up in the icu. Hmm.

[ Exhales sharply ] Let me guess — jason was right by your side. That’s when he told me that you had surgery, and… oh, god, it was the scariest moment of my life. And I remember right then and there, I promised myself… that I would die before I ever caused you pain. Yeah, I know the feeling. I make that promise every day.

[ Sighs ] Sonny, wait. You cannot seriously be suggesting that peter deserves mercy. No, not at all. But you want your daughter back, right? Of course I want her back! Then getting rid of peter is a bad idea. He set up the kidnapping, right? So if peter dies, any information about where louise is is gonna die with him. No, he doesn’t know where louise is. You sure about that? W-why would he have blackmailed nina if he did? It’s a possibility.

[ Sighs ] All right. Look, here’s the deal. As long as peter is breathing, louise is in trouble. Oka– forget about me. A-and I know you don’t care about franco, but what about elizabeth and her sons? And drew? And — and jason? I mean, are you really gonna let the man who killed your best friend get away with it?

You want me to abandon brad? I appreciate you looking after him now and then, but you’re no longer needed.

[ Scoffs ] Says the woman who had nothing to do with him his entire life? You don’t know of what you speak. Uh, the hell I don’T. I would have heard of you if you meant anything to brad. Circumstances are favorable to brad’s imminent parole. He’s up? I had no idea. Naturally. And if parole is granted, you’re advised to remain at a distance. Why? Because that’s not what brad would want. It’s what i want. And more importantly, it’s what my nephew needs. This is brad’s chance to rehabilitate his character — to evolve it beyond its current limited scope — and his ability to do so will be constrained by harmful influences lingering from his old life. Harmful influences like me.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Scoffs ] Thank you for your time, dr. Westbourne. Yeah, you didn’t give me much of a choice. Best of luck in your endeavors. And I see no need to revisit this conversation as long as you abide by my wishes. Congratulations. You’re going away for the rest of your life. I don’t know about that. I think there’s a scenario where she could spend maybe a few of her golden years outside… provided you tell us who you’re working for. It’s cyrus renault, isn’t it? Lawyer. Get her out of here.Let’s go.

[ Wheezing ] Hey, how are you feeling? Oh. Ehhh, I’m fine. It’s all right.

[ Stammers ] I’ll be fine after a little…laryngitis. Oh, thank god for that. Thank god. Thank you for getting here so quickly. Ugh. Won’t be without my dulcet tones for long. Come on, now. Don’t strain yourself. I don’t intend to. Unless you used all the hot water. I need to relax, so I’m gonna take a nice hot soak before our minders move us to the next loca– that’s one option. There’s another? Can I give you a ride home? Oh. Uh, no. No, um, I’m just gonna stick around and see if sasha or brando need anything — well, no, I-I checked. They’re — they’re out. And hopefully, they stay that way till morning. Oh. Hey, mom? Yeah? Why do I — I-I-I get the feeling that you’re avoiding going home. You said everything’s okay with you and dad. I mean, is it? Um…

[ Footsteps approaching ] Michael — hello again. Selina. Mr. Corinthos, I can’t help but wonder if you plan to attend my nephew’s parole hearing. I wouldn’t miss it. I assume your position on his release is unchanged? Mm, I’m surer than ever that brad should remain in prison. He repents of his sin. Oh, yeah, I’ve heard that one before. Recently, in fact — from the woman who kept my father away from his family. And you know what? That sounded as hollow from her as it does from you. I’m sorry to hear that. Have a good evening. If nina is guilty of anything, it’s making this town a better place. She almost helped rid us of the worst menace to ever walk these streets. This is an outrage. Peter is finally locked up, so the authorities persecute my niece instead? And for what? Attempting to thwart a madman? Please, my charges aren’t related to peter. Against who who else have you allegedly transgressed? You’re grieving. You’re angry. So am I, but bringing up jason is not a way to get into my good graces. This is no time for grace. Peter took franco and jason from their families. He took louise from me. Do you think he’s gonna stop there? Can you remember how righteous you were? Telling me all about how you found yourself in that little town. I’ll tell you what you found for yourself. You found a whole lot of nina. And guess what, sonny? I recorded it. All of it. I got a great picture of that kiss, too. It’s all on a thumb drive, safe in a vault, locked away, ready to be opened upon my death. So you kill me, you’re just gonna breathe life into that. Taking is what peter does. He’s gonna keep taking until he has what he wants. And when he gets it, guess what? He’s gonna want something new. God forbid you have the thing he’s set his sights on. We’re on the same page, okay? I want nothing to do with whatever victor is plotting. What you want is beside the point. I get the feeling that victor is using your past association as license to reduce you to his pawn. Do you disagree? Name one person who’s ever gotten the better of me? Besides you. This isn’t funny, nikolas. I know. It’s not. [ Sighs ] We are better together. I know that, too. I promise, I’ve learned my lesson. Have you? What are you getting at? You didn’t fill me in about victor until it was almost too late. I made a mistake. And are you done making that mistake, my love? If there is anything left to tell me, the time is now.

That’s it — sonny returned home and reunited with his family. Yep, and the rest will play out in court. What exactly are the charges?

[ Sighs ] Fraud. But we’re gonna get them thrown out before it goes to the trial phase. So, then, what you said about jason — yeah, it’s — it’s true. Peter might have been in custody if I’d called the police right away. But you didn’t want the truth about sonny to come out. No, I called you. Jason might still be alive if I made a different choice. Hey, nina, listen, if — if it’s any consolation here, you know, when — I go to liesl when — when I get mixed up in any shady business. Leave us, liebchen. Well, you know what? G-give me one of those caramels, and you will have lawyer-client privilege. We can talk freely. Thank you. But some things can only be said to family.

[ Knock on door ] Hi. Oh, my god, it’s so good to see you. You have no idea. What’s wrong? Or, I guess, what’s not wrong is the more appropriate question. Yeah, it’d make for a short conversation. Well, talk to me.

[ Sighs ] No. What do you mean, “no”? You don’t have the time. You have kids. You want to hear my sob story. Okay, my kids are with my parents, and they’re totally fine. Come on. Come up here. Sit right there.

[ Sighs ] Okay, I’m listening. Okay, look, I-I’m no fan of brad cooper. Not after what he did to you and lucas. And willow. And willow. Okay, it’s despicable on all fronts, and I definitely think brad should be serving his full prison sentence. But? I think you should take a different tact when it comes to his aunt. She asked me questions. I-I told the truth. I know. I know that. Think about it, like — if I — if I — if I would have just glossed over my feelings, selina, she would have been — she would have been surprised and probably angry when I went after brad at the — at the parole hearing. Listen to me. I just think you could be a little less confrontational about it. Selina is your dad’s ally. And I know that. I know that. And I plan on honoring their agreement, okay? I’m not gonna pull any strings to block brad’s parole behind the scenes. But I have every intention of speaking at that hearing, which dad understands. Mm. And, by the way, selina, she should know better than to — to — to trade on the alliance to help brad. Don’t you think dad would agree? Oh, to be honest, I don’t feel comfortable speaking for your dad. We’re not exactly on the same page right now. Thank you for coming by. I know it’s late. I always have time for you. I hope you have some consideration for me. Meaning? This guy? He’s in pcpd. He’s in custody. His arraignment’s tomorrow. Okay? There won’t be a bail, but they’re sending him back to pentonville up until his trial. But there’s not gonna be a trial… because he’s gonna be dead before that happens. Ah. And you want me to make sure this occurs. Well, I’d do it myself, but I-it’s public knowledge how I feel about him. And, you know… I would be the number-one suspect.

[ Chuckles ] And you require more than the usual degree of plausible deniability? He is… a danger to society. Can you do it? It’s possible. But it will cost you. Ho. Ho. Ho. It’s santa. We got a problem. Wooooooo! Ho! Ho! Ho!

Obviously, I’ll compensate you for your effort. Parcel out whatever holdings I inherited from novak. That’s very generous, but I prefer payment in another form. What form is that? I was hoping we could revisit the subject of my nephew. I’m not gonna pressure the board to refuse brad’s parole. And that’s all well and good. Okay. But I was hoping you’d undertake a more positive approach. Use your sway to ensure a favorable result. Do you understand what you’re asking me to do? Because of brad, my — my son, uh, couldn’t be a father. He thought his son was dead. And you want me to set him free? Brad is of no more consequence to your family. His attachments to your grandson are severed. Words are cheap. Not mine — nor is taking a life. His removal is of great value to you? Yes. Then I ask that you give me something commensurate in return. A life for a life, as it were. All right, I’ll tell my guy on the parole board to vote… for brad’s release. A single vote may not be enough to ensure my nephew’s freedom — especially with your son on the warpath. I knew something was going on with you and dad. What’s going on? I don’t want to put you in the middle, michael. I get that, but you obviously need somebody to talk to. But it can’t be you! Okay. Look, it’s not that complicated. I think your dad and i both thought that things were just gonna go back to the way they used to be. Easier said than done? Yeah. And it’s really hard now, with jason and…

[ Sighs ] Y– we’ll work things out. Your dad and i will work things out, because we always do. I know. But, uh, hopefully I can help speed things along. All right, aunt liesl, let me have it. Obrecht: I will do no such thing. Why not? Because what is the point? To make you feel worse than carly and sonny already have? Well, it’s more painful when it comes from family, so h-here I am. Go for it. Aunt liesl! Yell at me, damn it! Masochism doesn’t suit you. Well [Sighs] If I don’t suffer, how am I going to be redeemed, huh?

[ Sighs ] First off… you make amends with britta. You have no idea what you’ve taken from her, nina. But I thought that britt and jason, they only dated for a little while before jason left her to be with carly. Obrecht: He’s got a thing for you, britta. Britt: Mother — and I don’t mean he feels sorry for you. I know he doesn’T. I don’t think he sees me differently. He accepts me as I am before and after my diagnosis. Jason was more than a fling to britta. She gave him something most precious — her trust. And now he’s gone, and I’m afraid. What? Afraid of what? Of britta hardening her heart at a time she can least afford to. I will be there for her. Always — I promise. Good. Okay. You said “first off,” aunt liesl. I know you. Is there a second thing? Mm. The path to redemption is resurrection. You are no innocent, but neither are carly and sonny. If they don’t apologize, why should you? Remember who you are, nina. Sister, niece, friend, mother, grandmother, force to be reckoned with. When you go into court, don’t cower in the corner. Take up arms, and you fight for your life. Nothing specific is — is going on. It was just nice to look up and see a friendly face. Back at you. So, what brings you by the hospital? Well, I was on my way home, and I realized that I had not checked up on you or liesl yet since you’ve been back. Oh, I’d give my mother another night. Oh, no. Is she not well? Oh no, she’s — she’s great.

[ Chuckles ] She’s, uh, busy cocooning with scott. Gross. Yeah. But cute? Totally. Well, that sounds like a better reunion than the one I had with peter. What?

[ Sighs ] I want to see him at the police station. Oh, I — [ Sighs ] Okay, good. I just had these visions of him escaping and showing up at your apartment. Oh, no. No, no, no. It was all my doing. Why? Well, I — [ Sighs ] I don’t know. I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn’t scared of him anymore, that he didn’t have this hold on me. But leave it to peter. He tried to find new ways to terrify and obsess over me. Well, at least you tried, right?

[ Chuckles ] I’m proud of you. Thank you. Anyway, that’s it for peter. Now…it’s just a matter of time. Before what? Laura: Trust me. This is going to work. Martin: Listen to me! Our brother’s assassin… rest your voice! …Just caught up with us! What is to prevent cyrus from taking another shot — literally?! The fbi have told me that cyrus hired a single assassin. I know. So what? You think that’s it? You think j-just one and done, huh? Yes, I believe so! Look, he — he — he’s completely cut off from his funds. He has no allies. He has zero support. How’s he gonna be able to sic anyone on us now? I don’t know. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. No, not this time. Listen, I fear you are dangerously underestimating our brother. I think he underestimated me — twice, both times to his regret. Eh, yeah. Uh, thank god for that. What happens if the third time is the charm? Martin… my family and my community need me, and I can’t be there to help them if I’m in hiding or if I’m on the run always looking over my shoulder. Believe me, that is no way to live. There is only one way to win here. You turn around, you stand your ground, and you take on your enemy face to face. You some kind of cheerleader in high school? Drum majorette. It’s a simple question, nikolas. You either trust me, love me… or you don’T. Of course I love you. And I trust you. Prove it. Wait. Let go.

[ Sighs ] You want complete honesty? You know I do. Even if it makes you an accessory after the fact? I’d rather that than be kept in the dark.

[ Sighs ] Shawn butler. He didn’t shoot hayden. It was someone else.

[ Sighs ] I know. You hired them.

You just relax now, okay?Rest the vocal chords, please. I’m gonna talk to agent silva, and then I’ll start packing up our things. Lord, I hope you know what you’re doing. So do I. Funny. Martin, listen to me. Somehow, some way, I will take care of cyrus, and I will protect you in the process. Okay? Okay. You knew I tried to have hayden killed? How? When? Weeks ago. In the midst of your hand-wringing over alexis and shawn, it all became pretty clear. And then victor essentially confirmed it this afternoon. Why didn’t you say anything? Because I knew you were trying to protect me. I was happy to let it lie. Why coerced you into confessing something that you did so long ago? It’s not as if I’m an angel myself. And then victor surfaced. One secret too many. Make no mistake, nikolas. There can be no more secrets between us. So you need to decide. Is it all… or is it nothing? Does that answer your question? Hey, blue eyes. Any chocolate left for me?

[ Door closes ] Do you really stand a chance of getting a judge to throw out the charges against nina? Uhhh, not really. And if it goes badly, we could, uh, taint the jury against her. Then why bother? Uh, well, because [Grunts] Uh, we — we gotta see what the prosecution’s case looks like. Not to mention the key witnesses and what they’re gonna say. Key witnesses like sonny. It’s not like him, is it? To deploy the courts against an adversary? He didn’t — michael did. Ah, the avenging son. Yeah, yeah. But you know what? I’m not — I’m not so sure that sonny is, uh… too happy about that. Has he undertaken any retribution? No, and it’s not like him. Sonny and I have one thing in common — we hold grudges. There are no bygones. Then why hasn’t he lifted a finger against nina, the woman who kept him from his wife and children? Well, maybe he still thinks he’s that, uh, country bumpkin bartender, mike. Did you say mike? I did say mike. Why? What’s waiting for you back in that pennsylvania town? Or is it a “who”? Oh, you just assume there’s a man? Is there?

[ Gasps ] There is! Okay, okay. Yes, there is. I met someone, and it’s really good for me. I believe it’s good for him. That’s wonderful, nina. And does this mystery man have a name? Mike. No reason. Well, you know, I’m still a little confused as to why sonny hasn’t gone off on nina. I got to get to the bottom of that. You know, her whole future could hinge on it. You’re planning something. Not anymore. Now it’s up to someone else to do the planning. Or, so I hope. What does that mean? Nothing. Maxie, come on. You’re freaking me out. Okay, that’s the opposite of what I want to do. Look, why don’t you come with me back to my place? I have wine and extra-large wine glasses. We can get old-school wasted. Hey, I’m sorry. Am I interrupting? Oh, no. I was just bullying britt into coming to my house and getting wine-hammered. Is that a new technical term?

[ Laughs ] I think it is now. Are you in? Uh, no, I don’t want to intrude. Are you kidding? The more the merrier. You two ladies are the perfect people to raise my glass with. Mm, and what are we toasting to? A peter-free world, coming soon. Selina: Your son plans to argue in favor of my nephew’s continued imprisonment. Look, I already told you, I’m not gonna push michael on this. He’s gonna vote his way. I’m gonna vote my way. That’s it.

[ Sighs ] When can I expect this to happen? I’ll make the necessary arrangements immediately — before brad’s parole hearing. All right. For what it’s worth… …I’m sorry for your trouble. I know this puts you in an awkward position. I truly hope michael forgives you for intervening. Look, it is obvious that nina is the reason that you and dad are having issues. But look, she’s about to get what she deserves. Oh, if only. Mom, mom, mom, she will.

[ Sighs ] Nina is gonna go to prison, and once she’s gone, things are going to be better. I know it. I’m prepared to accept the consequences of my actions. My family is best served… with peter taken care of. So see to it that it happens. And, selina. The details of our original agreement still stand. If brad gets set free… …and he goes anywhere near… my grandson… …if he even utters my grandson’s name… …there will be hell to pay.

Abby: My sweet boy. Hey!

Chance: Hey.

Abby: Guess what dominic just told me.

Chance: What’d he say?

Abby: Well, he said he has his cutest little outfit on and he wants to go out right now, just the three of us. What do you think?

Chance: Oh, wow. That’s quite the speech for a kid his age.

Abby: Well, yeah, he’s clearly a genius. I was thinking we could go to society. I could show the two of you off. Oh, and you can meet my new head chef.

Chance: Oh, I didn’t know you had one.

Abby: Yes, I will fill you in on the way. I’m letting her put her stamp on the menu, and I want you to try her dishes.

Chance: Yeah, it sounds fun, baby. I just, uh…I don’t know if it’s a good idea.

Devon: Alright, man. I am very, very excited to see what you’ve come up with for tessa’s album cover.

Noah: Yeah, I mean, we had a good photo shoot earlier, but i haven’t really had time to process the images yet.

Devon: That’s — that’s not a problem, ’cause we can go through it together and we’ll get on the same page before we loop in tessa, you know? What’s wrong?

Noah: Nothing, nothing. It’s just, you know, it’s been a while since I’ve had to preview a project while I’m still creating it.

Devon: Well, I mean, that’s just ’cause I would hate for you to put in a bunch of work and find out that it’s not what I’m looking for.

Noah: I’d hate that, too.

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: Why do you have doubts about going to society?

Chance: Because, baby, we don’t know who’s watching. Okay? These people know who i am, and even though there’s security, I’m just concerned about your safety.

Abby: But your supervisor said we’re safe and so is the mission. I thought a nice, quiet family lunch would be a good way to ease back into things. Back to normal life.

Chance: Okay, let’s go.

Abby: Really?

Chance: Let’s go.

Abby: Ah! Yay! Okay, we’re going to society, we’re going to society. I’m gonna go get dom ready. Let’s go. Let’s go. What jacket should we wear?

Chance: [ Sighs ]

Nick: So I’ve got a dilemma, and I’m thinking you might be able to help me.

Sharon: Okay. What?

Nick: Christian needs a costume for his holiday sing thing, and I was wondering if you had any of noah’s old costumes. If I remember correctly, when noah was around christian’s age, he was like a wise man and maybe an elf?

Sharon: [ Laughs ]

Nick: What are you laughing at?

Sharon: Um, in case you haven’t noticed, our son is now a grown man, so, no, I did not keep any of those costumes. And had I, I know they would be a wreck by now.

Nick: Huh. Yeah, I didn’t think about that.

Sharon: Come on, nick. This is ridiculous. What did you really come here to talk to me about?

Amanda: So the house was built in 1897, and the city just kind of grew around it.

Phyllis: It’s amazing. Wow, look at that. It’s victorian, I love that.

[ Sighs ] The molding is beautiful.

Amanda: Oh, I know, I know. Imani and I, we just leased it today.

Phyllis: Congratulations!

Amanda: Thank you, thank you. Oh, it really is the perfect location, though. Ideal place to launch our firm.

Phyllis: Oh, great. When do you move in?

Amanda: Well, we still have some tweaking to do first. We’re choosing paint colors. Oh, actually, I could use your exquisite design taste.

Phyllis: Ah, thank you. I’ll help you with anything, definitely.

[ Exhales sharply ] What’s next?

Amanda: Um, well, you know, everything’s been going pretty smoothly. We filed the paperwork to start our practice. Imani, she — she passed the wisconsin bar on her first try.

Phyllis: Her first try?

Amanda: Yes.

Phyllis: That’s impressive.

Amanda: All systems are go.

Phyllis: Ah, great. I’m really happy for you.

Amanda: Yeah?

Phyllis: Mm-hmm.

Amanda: Really?

Phyllis: Mm.

Amanda: ‘Cause, I don’t know, you seem a little down in the dumps.

These are the faces

Phyllis: So, I mean, it’s just jack flew to new york for a meeting with kyle. Summer confirmed it. She thought I knew.

Amanda: You —

Phyllis: Yeah, I didn’t know. I didn’t know. Jack didn’t tell me, which was weird.

Amanda: Oh, that is weird.

Phyllis: Yeah, right? And then we had this really awkward — ugh — such an awkward conversation about our friendship.

Amanda: Awkward? Awkward how?

Phyllis: Well, you know, jack wanted to talk to me privately, so we went up to my suite to talk, and he said that things have been sort of strange and weird between us since I broke up with nick.

Amanda: Well, have they been?

Phyllis: Yeah. They have. I have to admit… listen, you know, it’s — he said he had feelings for me, and I can’t forget that he said it. You know, it’s like the elephant in the room, and I can’t pretend like he didn’t say it.

Amanda: Okay, so [Sighs] What do you do now?

Phyllis: I don’t know. It’s just strange. I guess I just go with it. Do you know what I mean? Like, our friendship is so strong, and I don’t want to screw anything up, so it’ll change and evolve, and I just have to wait for it to adjust.

Amanda: Adjust? I mean, adjust as in cool down or heat up?

Nick: So I found a costume that summer had made christian a couple years ago. It definitely doesn’t fit him anymore. And I don’t know, I guess phyllis had always handled this sort of thing for me.

Sharon: Well, say no more. I would be happy to make something new for christian. I mean, as long as you don’t need it right away.

Nick: No, and I don’t mean to impose.

Sharon: You’re not imposing at all. I love that kid. You know what? I’m gonna come up with something really cute for him.

Nick: Well, you are a life-saver and everybody’s rock.

Sharon: Aww. That’s a really nice compliment and kind of out of the blue.

Nick: Well, clearly, I need to praise you more often.

Sharon: You sure you don’t need something else from me?

Nick: Like what?

Sharon: Well, maybe you need someone to lean on while you get through your break-up. You said that phyllis used to handle all these things for you. Maybe you’re feeling a little lost, and sometimes it’s the small memories that sneak up on us and really get us.

Nick: Uh, no, it’s nothing like that. I’m actually surprised at how well the parting of the ways has gone.

Sharon: Really?

Nick: Yeah. When I was looking for a costume for christian, I found some stuff that I’m sure phyllis wants, and I’m gonna take it by her place later today.

Sharon: Oh, the old “giving the ex her things back.” That can be tricky. Sometimes we do that because we’re hoping to reconnect. And other times, it’s actually to punish them. Could either of those scenarios apply to you?

Noah: You know, in london, i didn’t really have many deadlines. Set my own schedule, so what are you thinking timeline-wise? Tessa and I haven’t really discussed it.

Devon: Um…I mean…how is, uh — how’s december 22nd sound? That way you have enough time for the holidays after.

Noah: Guess it just depends on how many people have to sign off on it between now and the print run.

Devon: Well, I mean, since I’m the head of the label, if i like it, then we’ll be pretty much good to go. You know, it’ll have to pass through legal and stuff like that, but I don’t want you to feel rushed, though, if you do, ’cause I don’t want it to interfere with you putting out your best work.

Noah: I appreciate that.

Devon: Yeah, no, of course. I got to ask you, though, if you prefer autonomy, how come you left london? ‘Cause it seems like you had a great gig going on there. You could work at your own pace and getting paid for it.

Noah: It wasn’t the work. I left for personal reasons.

Devon: Oh. Okay, I’ll leave that right there. Um…assuming you’re still on board, let’s take a look at what you got.

Noah: Yeah, let’s do it.

Abby: Welcome to mommy’s restaurant. Isn’t it incredible? Ooh, and the food is so good. Although you can’t try it for quite a while, but you’ll just have to take my word for it.

Chance: Hey, you better listen up to your mom. She knows exactly what she’s talking about, bud.

Abby: [ Sighs ] Tonight is gonna be so great. I’m so happy that you’re here. We’re gonna keep it super low-profile. I just want chef pamela to meet you, and she’s gonna make us one of everything on the menu. Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.

Chance: Well, seeing you smile has already made my time worthwhile.

Abby: Mm.

Mariah: Chance? Is that really you?

Chance: [ Sighs ]

Mariah: [ Gasps ] Need long-lasting freshness?

Chance: Wow, it’s so good to see both of you.

Tessa: Yeah, you too.

Chance: Yeah, how are you? How’re you doing?

Mariah: I’m just kind of in shock right now. I mean, I know you were home, obviously. I just — I didn’t expect to see you out so soon.

Chance: Yeah, I’m having that effect on some people these days.

Mariah: Well, I wanted to come by the house to say hi, but I know you guys needed time to settle back in.

Chance: Oh, no, no, no, it’s totally okay. I, uh — I’m actually glad that we ran into you. You’ve been on my mind, and i just wanted to thank you for everything that you’ve done for us, really. Abby told me what happened, and I’m so sorry. That’s so terrible, what you went through, and I’m just sorry that I wasn’t here to protect you or to prevent it from happening in the first place.

Mariah: Well, the kidnapping, it’s — it’s in the past. You know, I’m — I’m really trying to move on with my life and I’ve been able to, thanks to the love and support of everybody around me, especially tessa. What matters is that dominic was safe and healthy.

Abby: Don’t sell yourself short. You kept our baby safe and healthy during a really hard time. We could never thank you enough.

Chance: He’s a beautiful boy. I’m blessed. Well, on that note, would you guys like to join us? Please do.

Tessa: Oh, well, actually, we’re here for a working lunch.

[ Chuckles ] Mariah’s gonna help me pick out a new photo for my lp.

Abby: [ Gasps ] Oh, my gosh. Well, clearly, we are so excited.

[ Laughter ] Oh, yeah? For you new album. I would love to throw you an album release party.

Tessa: Oh, oh, that’s so kind of you, but, you know, I’m just gonna let devon handle that stuff. You know, they — they usually do that, right?

Abby: Yeah, totally, but if you change your mind, the offer stands. I am gonna get my two handsome men back there. We’re gonna go meet our executive chef. And, yeah, we need to go while dominic is in a good place. Huh, buddy?

[ Laughter ]

Mariah: Well, have fun, you guys.

Abby: You too. And, hey, I would love to send you guys our tasting menu, the one that we’re gonna have. My treat.

Tessa: Oh, my gosh, that’s so generous.

Mariah: That’s very sweet of you, abby. Thank you.

Abby: Of course. My pleasure. Let’s go. Say bye!

Chance: See ya.

Tessa: Well, the man looks good, considering.

Mariah: Did he seem a little off to you?

Tessa: Well, what chance went through was a lot. It’s gonna take a lot of time for him to feel safe again. Kind of like you.

Mariah: What I went through was horrible. What chance went through was unimaginable.

Nick: Alright, you’re doing it again.

Sharon: [ Chuckles ] What?

Nick: Looking too far into things. I’m not taking phyllis her stuff because I’m trying to reconnect with her or because I want to punish her. Just trying to save her a trip, that’s it.

Sharon: Mm-hmm. Well, you may feel right now that you won’t be affected when you go do this, but it could trigger some unexpected feelings, so just be prepared.

Nick: Alright, I’ve been warned. Thank you. Let’s not talk about it anymore.

Sharon: Okay.

Nick: I’ll see you later.

Sharon: Alright.

Phyllis: By “adjust,” I mean get used to it.

Amanda: Get used to what? Jack’s affection for you? Your affection for jack? Or the fact that it’s not platonic and you have absolutely no idea what to do next?

Phyllis: None of the above.

Amanda: Oh, is that so?

Phyllis: Yeah. Hey, listen, jack and I have a very good friendship, and i don’t want to do anything to screw that up. It’s very important to me. Very important. And in fact, jack said to me that he doesn’t want to get his heart broken by me again, so…

Amanda: How did you feel about that?

Phyllis: I agree. I don’t want to do that to him. So, listen, I’m just gonna get through this awkward phase because it really is awkward, and the whole thing will just work itself out.

Amanda: You know, it’s funny because I didn’t ask you what you should do. I asked you what you truly, deep-down want. Do you want to reignite things with jack?

Find your rhythm. You so upset that jack went toI respect our friendship, and i

Phyllis: Listen, amanda.

Phyllis: Listen, amanda. Every instinct I have is telling me to leave this alone. I’m not getting back together with jack. I respect our friendship, and i don’t want to hurt him again.

Amanda: If keeping things in the friend zone really was a mutual decision, then why were you so upset that jack went to new york and didn’t tell you? Because it seems to me like jack is doing exactly what he agreed to. He’s letting the relationship breathe so it can go back to normal. Would you expect a friend to tell you when they’re going away on a business trip? No. Or maybe the decision wasn’t mutual and it feels a little more like a rejection.

Phyllis: A rejection — listen to you. You are my friend, right?

Amanda: Believe it or not, this is me being a friend. Answer the question.

Phyllis: Listen, jack said that he doesn’t want a relationship with me. He said he doesn’t want his heart hurt again, and I went with it. Okay? I would kill me if I hurt him again. Really, it would kill me.

Nick: I don’t mean to barge in.

Amanda: Yeah, no worries. I’m gonna head out. Call me if you need to talk, okay?

Phyllis: Oh, I will. I will.

Amanda: Okay. Nick.

Nick: Hey.

[ Sighs ]

Phyllis: What’s that?

Nick: Just some of your stuff I wanted to return to you.

Devon: I’m very impressed with what I see.

Noah: I’m relieved to hear you say that.

Devon: Yeah, man. What’s striking is — is how you’ve really — you’ve captured tessa in every single one of those photos. Go back to the proofs real quick.

Noah: Yeah, sure.

Devon: Like this one right here. There — there’s so much soul in her eyes that you got. You can hear her single just by looking at it.

Noah: Yeah, that’s my favorite, too.

Devon: These are all great. Really great. I’m happy that tessa suggested you for the artwork, man. I was hesitant at first, given our history, but…

Noah: History… oh, you mean you dating mariah, me dating tessa before they fell for each other? That history?

Devon: That’s what I’m talking about.

Noah: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: Feels like a lifetime ago, man.

Noah: I mean, it kind of was.

Devon: Uh-huh. Yeah, mariah and tessa, though, they’re still going strong. They’re doing real strong. But looking at these pictures, you can tell, even after all this time, man, you really — you really get tessa.

Noah: I mean, she’s fearless, putting herself out there like that. Very accessible.

Devon: I always kind of thought that she was a bit guarded and hard to read. But she’s — she’s obviously comfortable with showing a more open side to you. It’s nice.

Noah: Nah, it’s not me. It’s just the camera.

Tessa: You hate them.

Mariah: No, it’s actually the opposite. I love every single one of these.

Tessa: Really?

Mariah: Yeah. You know what? It reminds me of your early days, when you were performing at the underground and I would hide in the back and watch you.

Tessa: Yeah, except you couldn’t hide because there was only three people there.

[ Both laugh ]

Mariah: Wow, noah really captured something.

Tessa: Well, the way he got me to relax was actually talking about you. So if you see anything special in these proofs, it’s my love for you.

Abby: I want your unbiased opinion. We have finally transitioned to pamela’s menu and all of her dishes, although we still have a few of the favorites from when lola was here.

Chance: Well, everything’s so delicious, baby, really.

Abby: Really? Because it was a struggle to find a replacement for lola.

Chance: I still can’t believe that she would walk away like that. I mean, that must’ve been a real blow to you and society, you know?

Abby: Yeah, it was, but the opportunity in miami was stellar. I couldn’t stand in her way.

Chance: Well, you are a good person.

Abby: [ Chuckles ] Oh, I don’t know about that, but, you know, I used to be pretty selfish until I met you. You made me a better human being.

Chance: Nah, nah, I can’t take credit for that. I’m no saint.

Abby: Hey. What happened in spain was not your fault.

Chance: That’s not really what I was thinking about.

Dominic: [ Crying ]

Chance: Hey, buddy.

Abby: Shh.

Chance: Hey. Hey, you’re okay. Nope

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Abby: You guys taking off?

Tessa: Yes, and everything was so amazing. Thank you.

Abby: Oh, well, good. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Mariah: It’s so amazing to see you back home with abby and dominic. The three of you make a beautiful picture.

Chance: Well, we have you to thank for that, mariah. And just know, you can come visit dominic any time you’d like. You’re part of the family now.

Mariah: Alright, bye, guys.

Tessa: Bye.

Chance: Did I say something wrong there?

Abby: No, no. Of course not. It’s just, well, mariah, she developed a very strong bond with dominic when they were being kept prisoner by stitch, and then after she had the baby, she had a really hard time letting go.

Chance: Oh. Well, that doesn’t surprise me. I mean, alone for that long, terrified, feeling responsible for protecting a baby. She was carrying our baby. I mean, that’s rough. Dom was the only connection she had.

Abby: Is that what it was like for you after the explosion?

Chance: Yeah. Yeah, if kim hadn’t been there, I — I’m sure I would’ve lost my mind.

Abby: Well, I am so thankful for her. I don’t know what I would’ve done if she hadn’t saved you. Are you thinking about all your team members, the ones who weren’t saved?

Chance: Yeah, always. Every minute of every day.

Abby: I just — I wish i could say something to make you feel better.

Chance: No, there’s just some wounds that words can’t heal.

[ Sighs ]

Amanda: [ Sighs ]

Devon: Hey, you.

Amanda: Hey. Oh, I’m sorry. I can head upstairs if you guys are having a meeting.

Devon: No, it’s fine, we’re just wrapping up. Let me introduce you two. Amanda sinclair — mwah — this is noah newman.

Amanda: Ah, noah.

Noah: Nice to meet you.

Amanda: Newman — the artist, right? You did the art installation for victor’s tribute.

Noah: Yes, I did.

Amanda: It was brilliant. Lights and shadows.

Devon: He’s designing tessa’s album cover. It’s gonna be a work of art.

Amanda: Oh.

Noah: Well, I hope so.

Amanda: Well, I am opening a new law firm downtown. I mean, I know you’re probably way too busy to even consider designing a corporate id package, but, you know, if you’re looking for a new project, let me know.

Noah: Thank you. I’ll keep that in mind.

Amanda: Okay.

Noah: But now that we’ve met up, I’ll talk to tessa and show her the images, see which ones she likes. Hopefully she likes them as much as we did.

Devon: Thanks, man.

Noah: Thank you, man.

Devon: Appreciate it.

Noah: Nice meeting you.

Amanda: Yes, you too.

Devon: What are you smiling about?

Amanda: I don’t know. I like watching you in action.

Devon: You do?

Amanda: Yeah, I do.

Devon: Really?

Amanda: And I don’t see you in work mode very often. But look at you, you’re good at handling the creative folks.

[ Both laugh ]

Devon: Well, I’m more accustomed to the musicians, but…

Amanda: Yeah, well, noah, he seemed relaxed and he seemed to trust you.

Devon: Yeah, well, we’ve known each other for a while. Took a second with the images, but I think we came to a good understanding.

Amanda: Mm, well, it does take a certain skill-set to manage artists. You know, one part charm, one part flattery, one part authenticity. Making sure that they know that their work is valued and also coaxing the best out of them, and, you know, giving them a certain sense of flexibility.

Devon: You got all that from just watching me for a few minutes.

Amanda: I don’t know what to say, it’s my superpower.

Devon: [ Chuckles ] You’re in a very happy mood today. I know it can’t just be from watching me and my great managerial skills, so…

Amanda: Well, life is good. Really good. In fact, I want to take you out to lunch to celebrate.

Nick: Just, you know, found some stuff I thought you might want back.

Phyllis: I’ve been looking for this all over the place.

Nick: I know it’s not one of your go-to looks. That’s probably why it was buried in the back of the closet.

Phyllis: This doesn’t spark joy for you?

Nick: No, I used to love watching you fill that up with coffee every day and constantly reminding me of who exactly was in charge. You never got tired of that joke.

Phyllis: Wasn’t a joke.

Nick: You know what? Doesn’t seem like it’s super sentimental. I could’ve just tossed it.

Phyllis: This is loaded with “prime aggression 6.” This is — I mean, this was my valentine’s day gift to you.

Nick: I mean, it’s your favorite game. You should have it.

Phyllis: Yeah, but I gave this to you for valentine’s day. I mean, this was the greatest valentine’s day gift ever. I mean, besides that sign you got me from pepe’s roadhouse.

Nick: Where we had our first wedding.

Phyllis: I’m glad that sign isn’t in the box.

Nick: Wouldn’t fit. Smooth dark chocolate, refreshing peppermint,

Nick: [ Sighs ] You know, I’m sorry I brought this and made things…

Phyllis: I’m glad you brought it. It means that we weren’t wasting our time. It’s very sentimental.

Nick: I have never, ever thought that any time we spent together was a waste, and i never will.

Phyllis: I never will either. So how are you doing? Has the tension in your family eased up?

Nick: Well, I’m mostly avoiding them. Does that count?

Phyllis: Uh-huh, it does, because it’s basically what I’ve been telling you to do all along.

[ Chuckles ] Um, listen, I noticed that you came by chance’s party and you didn’t stay long.

Nick: Yeah, ashland’s trying to play, like, peacemaker between me and vick.

Phyllis: How’d that go?

Nick: Not great. Vick accused me of pushing everyone away in my life, including you.

Noah: Hey, mom.

Sharon: Hey.

Noah: Have you seen tessa?

Sharon: Uh, not since the shoot. She and mariah went to society to grab lunch and review the photos that you sent them. And clearly they didn’t want me looking over their shoulder, giving my two cents.

Noah: Really?

Sharon: Well, I do want to see your work. Maybe if I’m lucky, you’ll show me.

Noah: Oh, I just left a meeting with devon to get his thoughts, but I think it’s only fair that tessa and I have a chance to review before my mom weighs in.

Sharon: Well, it was worth a shot.

Noah: No pun intended.

Sharon: [ Laughs ] Look at you, all fired up. Maybe this project was just the boost you needed.

Noah: Mom, I told you, you don’t have to worry about me, okay? I’m doing fine. I just needed to get re-acclimated from london and start working again.

Sharon: Who’s worried? I’m delighted to see you doing something that you’re really enjoying.

Noah: Yeah, this album, it’s — it’s really got my creative juices flowing again. Thanks to tessa. She makes it easy.

Amanda: Got everything?

Devon: Mm-hmm.

Abby: [ Gasps ]

Amanda: Oh.

Devon: Hey, look who’s out and about.

Abby: Yes, yes, past tense. We are heading out. Dominic’s a little fussy.

Devon: Oh. How you, uh — how you settling back in to the life in town, man?

Chance: Not bad, man. One day at a time, right?

Devon: Yeah. How you doing, little guy? What’s up? Mommy says you’re being fussy. Don’t do that.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: Don’t do that.

Abby: Oh, I wish I knew your secret, especially at 3:00 A.M.

[ Chuckles ]

Amanda: Yeah, when dom was at our place, devon had the magic touch.

Devon: Oh. Well, I’m just that boring, I’ll put any baby to sleep, you know?

Chance: Well, we should probably get him back.

Abby: Yeah, yeah. Bye.

Devon: Okay.

Amanda: Bye.

Devon: See you guys.

Abby: See ya.

Devon: Bye, buddy.

Abby: Say bye!

Amanda: Are you okay?

Devon: Yeah, of course. Read my eyes.

Phyllis: Well, victoria doesn’t know anything about our relationship. She’s not one to judge.

Nick: And now you know why i left early.

Phyllis: Well, I’m sorry you had to deal with that.

Nick: Hey, it goes with the territory, you know? This avoidance strategy I’m using right now is eventually gonna have to end. I’m gonna have to try and work things out with my dad, but for now, just happy to be focusing on new hope and christian, and faith’s doing very well. Absolutely love having noah at home.

Phyllis: You’re lucky to have your kids home. I really miss summer. I miss daniel.

Nick: I know.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Phyllis: Is there a problem?

Nick: Uh, something’s up. I got to go.

Phyllis: Oh, okay. I hope it’s not serious.

Nick: Yeah, me too.

Phyllis: Thanks for bringing this stuff by.

Nick: Yeah, no problem. Okay, I’ll, uh… bye.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Mariah: I agree with noah. Tessa is an ideal subject. But the photos that you took were phenomenal. It was hard to choose just one.

Tessa: But we did, and I hope it’s the same one that you liked.

Noah: There is one that I’m leaning towards, and I just had a great meeting with devon and he agreed.

Tessa: What, you — wait, you chose without me?

Noah: No, no, no, no, it wasn’t anything like that. He just — he wanted to see where I was going with this, make sure he liked my take.

Sharon: And it sounds like he did.

Noah: Yeah, definitely. You know, but, tess, you are in complete creative control. I mean, you’re the artist, you’re the songwriter. This whole project is about you. You have final say. I am just working in service of your vision.

Tessa: Okay, cool.

Mariah: Well, come on, enough with the suspense. Show him which one you like.

Tessa: Okay. Um…

Noah: [ Chuckles ] Well, that’s a relief.

Tessa: What, really? No way, we chose the same one?

Noah: Yeah, mind meld. It’s a beautiful thing.

Tessa: [ Laughs ]

Sharon: Well, congratulations. Now, can I see? Oh, my gosh. Noah, that is stunning.

Noah: And the mom vote clinches it. Number 17, unanimous, case closed.

Tessa: Hooray!

[ Laughs ]

Mariah: Well, that’s a great collaboration that you guys did. It seems like you’re off to a great start. Unfortunately, I have to get back to work, so I will see you later, okay?

Tessa: Okay.

Mariah: Bye.

Noah: See ya. Really, you thought I’d choose one without you?

Tessa: Yeah.

[ Laughter ] Hey, is everything okay?

Mariah: Yeah, everything’s great. It’s just it’s nice to see you laughing and happy.

Tessa: Well, I am happy and giddy and in love.

Amanda: I am already getting calls from potential clients who’ve heard that I’m opening my own practice. Can you believe it?

Devon: Yeah, of course I can believe it, yeah. You know who you are? Did you forget?

Amanda: Wow, there’s that charm I was talking about.

Devon: No, I’m being sincere.

Amanda: [ Sighs ] Well, at this rate, we are gonna be backlogged before the paint is even dry. Oh, speaking of which, did you get a chance to look at the paint colors that I told you about? I mean, I really love the dove gray, but imani wants to go with something bolder. You know that there are consultants for this? Like, not just designers, actual consultants. Like, real specialists. Imani, she knows this paint guru who charges more per hour than most lawyers do. I mean, I told her that I’m pretty sure that we could pick a paint color on our own. Right?

Devon: Mm-hmm.

Amanda: Wow, your eyes are glazing over.

Devon: No.

Amanda: I was talking about throw pillows and wallpaper — the kiss of death.

Devon: I’m listening to what you’re saying, I am. It was — you said something about a bird.

Amanda: A bird? Dove gray.

Devon: Dove gray.

Amanda: [ Chuckles ] Okay, never mind. I know your mind’s been somewhere else ever since we sat down.

Devon: I’m sorry.

Amanda: No, you don’t have to be sorry. You thinking about dominic?

Devon: I’m not, actually. I was thinking about chance. Um…how did he seem to you when we saw him? Did he seem a little uneasy being out in public?

Amanda: Not more than expected.

Devon: No?

Amanda: No, I don’t — I mean, this is — I don’t even think it’s about being in public, you know? He’s a brand-new dad and he’s getting used to the baby that he just met for the first time.

Devon: Yeah. I know, I just can’t help but worry.

Amanda: About what?

Devon: About dominic, ’cause, you know, it reminds me of when abby was grieving and just knowing the babies pick up on every little thing. And I — I don’t want to think about dominic taking in his parents’ stress.

Chance: Hey, big guy. Who’s my big dude? You’re my big dude.

Abby: I hate to interrupt this, but somebody needs a nap.

Chance: It’s nap time.

Abby: It’s nap time.

Chance: Oh, my gosh.

Abby: Come here.

Chance: Go nap it up.

Abby: Say “see you after, dad.”

Chance: See you, bud. Hey. Oh, yeah. Have a good nap.

Abby: [ Chuckles ] Let’s go nap it up, huh?

Chance: [ Exhales sharply ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone rings ] Hey, mom. Oh, yeah, I’m good, I’m good. How’s australia? Well, good. That’s awesome. No, no, I wish you wouldn’T. I’m okay. I promise. Yes, yes, I mean it. Well, no, you don’t have to rush back right now, okay? You just got there. It’s a long trip, too. Don’t worry about it. Yeah, everything’s — everything’s good. Everything’s good. Okay, I love you. I miss you like crazy, and i promise you I’m fine.

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Billy: I’m in control, okay? I have never been more focused in my life.

Lily: Well, if that’s true, then there’s something I want you to do and you’re not gonna like it.

Elena: Wait, what?

Nate: You heard me.

Elena: Are you asking me to move in with you?

Devon: Hey, are you okay? You doing alright? ‘Cause it kind of seems like you’re not.

Chelsea: So tell me, what did I miss?

Victoria: Oh!

[ Gasps ] How lovely.

[ Chuckles ] Well, what is this about?

Ashland: It’s about me being thankful for every day of my life that I have with you.

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

Ashland: And how thankful i am. And I just got some results back from my oncologist. There’s been no further spread of the cancer.

Victoria: [ Gasps ] Oh, my god! It’s everything that we were hoping for.

Ashland: Well, just hold on. I mean, it’s not a diagnosis of remission yet, but…the news is positive and it’s as good as we can hope for this early in the treatments.

Victoria: We need to celebrate.

[ Knock on door ]

Ashland: Love the idea.

Lily: Hello. Sorry, I hope I’m not interrupting. Victoria, I needed to discuss something with you.

Billy: [ Sighs ] Oh, this is, um — this is perfect. This is really wonderful. You’re exactly who I want to see.

Adam: Little early for that, don’t you think?

Billy: You don’t want to know what I’m thinking, adam. Adam newman, thank you for your — your guidance and your insight, mr. Media mogul. Oh, hold on a second. Who’s that? Oh! Your daddy’s calling for you.

Adam: Yeah. Drinking alone at the bar — why am I not surprised, billy? I mean, after such a swift and spectacular fall, no one could blame you for losing it a bit.

Tessa: Hey, sharon.

Sharon: Hey.

Tessa: How’s it going?

Sharon: Pretty good. I’m excited about the holidays right around the corner.

Tessa: Yeah, here before you know it.

Sharon: You know, I’m kind of struggling with getting the perfect gift for mariah. Um…do you have any ideas? Has she mentioned anything?

Tessa: Not specifically. But I’m sure that you’re gonna come up with just the right thing.

Sharon: Well, let me know if she drops any hints.

Tessa: Yes, for sure. I’m sure that you are so excited to have noah home for the holidays.

Sharon: Yeah, it’s gonna be wonderful having the kids with me this christmas. You know, I’ve always supported and encouraged the kids to follow their dreams, wherever that may take them, but I am hoping that noah makes this a permanent move.

Noah: Hey, guys. What did I just walk in on?

Mariah: Yeah. Okay, that sounds great. I will send out an e-mail this afternoon confirming with everybody. Alright, bye.

Victor: Well, mariah, how nice to see you. You were missed last night at the party we gave for chance, you know.

Mariah: Oh, yeah, I’m — I’m so sorry I couldn’t make it. Um, I just got caught up with work and I couldn’t get away. You know how crazy busy things get before the holidays.

Victor: I certainly do, yeah.

Mariah: But I’m so sorry that I missed it. You know, it’s amazing that chance is alive and well and he’s back with abby and the baby.

Victor: It is just absolutely stunning and we are all overjoyed, you know?

Mariah: Yeah, bowie is so lucky to have both of his parents.

Victor: Bowie?

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Mariah: “Bowie” is just this little nickname that I gave the baby while I was carrying him. You know, got hard to keep calling him “little man” or “hey, you.”

Victor: I see. Bowie, that’s cute. I know that chance and abby are eternally grateful to you. After everything you’ve gone through, you delivered the child safely to them. And I’m sure that chance would have loved to tell you that in person.

Mariah: How is he, by the way? I know he went through such an ordeal.

Victor: Well, so have you. I will never forget what you have gone through to deliver that child. And I will see to it that you get justice. If you ever need anything, anything at all…

Mariah: I’m fine. Victor, thank you, though. I really appreciate, you know? I’m just trying to move on with my life.

Victor: I’m glad to hear that. Just know that you and chance will always be loved and supported by the entire family. Okay? Now, I have a meeting to go to, and I don’t want you to be late for whatever you have to do. Don’t forget my promise, okay?

Mariah: Absolutely.

Victor: Okay. Nice to see you. And thank you.

Sharon: Oh, I was just talking christmas present ideas with tessa. But don’t you try to get any information out of us.

Noah: Oh, got it. No, I wouldn’t want to spoil the surprise anyway.

Sharon: [ Chuckles ] Excuse me, I have some work to do.

Noah: Hey, let’s grab a table. I have some ideas about your album I want to run by you.

Tessa: Okay. Great. I can’t wait to hear.

Noah: So I want to take some photos of you, and then choose the strongest out of the bunch to build off of. Now, I really want to capture you at your most honest and raw, just like your songs. You know, stripped down, simple, in a beautiful way. I think your album cover should reflect that place deep down inside that inspires you.

Tessa: Oh, sounds intense. Cool.

Sharon: You’ve come a long way from that young woman busking by the patio.

Tessa: Yeah, I mean, yeah, I guess there’s been a lot of changes, but there’s still that person in me. You know, that’s the part of me that feels passion about my music and what I want to say, even if it’s just an audience of one.

Noah: I got it. I got it. I know exactly what I want to do with you and just how to get there.

Ashland: Look, victoria, we can finish discussing this later. I’ll let you two talk. Bye. Excuse me.

Victoria: Well, congratulations on your pending appointment to the top spot at chancellor industries.

Lily: Thank you. It’s quite an honor.

Victoria: You know, despite everything that’s happened, I — I have a tremendous respect for you, and not just as a businesswoman.

Lily: Wow, thank you for saying that. It’s very kind. And I also really appreciate you trying to buy chanccomm, ’cause if it were to end up in adam’s hands, that would make my blood boil, so I really hope that you and ashland are stilling to acquire it.

Victoria: Yes, it is a possibility. How is billy doing? I know this must be a difficult time for him.

Lily: Well, actually, that’s why I’m here. I wanted to talk to you about something, and just so you know, this is really hard for me. I wasn’t sure if I should even discuss this with you.

Victoria: Well, you’re here now, so…

Lily: Uh, I know billy really well, and even though he’s trying to hide it, I can tell that he’s devastated by this. And I know that you’ve lived through something like this with him before, but I haven’t, so this is new territory for me.

Victoria: And you’re worried that he’s gonna fall back into his old addictive, self-destructive behaviors.

Billy: You know, I’d think you’d be proud of me. I have a full-time job — making sure you and victor don’t get your grimy little fingers all over chanccomm.

Adam: Well, you don’t have any leverage left in that department. In fact, you don’t have any leverage left in any department, do you?

Billy: Goodbye, adam.

Adam: Okay, I mean, billy, why couldn’t you just leave well enough alone? You just had to mess with victoria’s future. I mean, did you really think that she would appreciate that you still have a protective streak in you? Well, surprise — she didn’T.

Billy: [ Scoffs ] I said goodbye.

Adam: And we know ashland doesn’t respond well to attacks, so you pretty much just set yourself up. And now you’ve blown your one chance to prove that you could be a leader.

Billy: Yeah. So I guess I’m the lost cause that you think I am.

Adam: [ Sighs ] It’s too bad, especially given everything you’ve already had to face.

Billy: Honestly, it doesn’t matter what I face. It’s still better than being you. Excuse me. Can I get another apple juice please? Thanks. No one can deliver your mom’s homemade short ribs.

Noah: Alright, so here’s what I’m thinking. I want to shoot you out here, you know, where you used to perform before making it big. I really want to capture the energy and the spirit of that time.

Tessa: I love it. Recreate the vibe.

Noah: Yeah, I mean, it’s in your soul. It’s who you are.

Tessa: It’s where I’m from.

Noah: Hey, mom, do you mind if we close off the patio to customers for a bit?

Sharon: Absolutely. I’ll put a sign on that door so that customers will know to come in the front.

Tessa: Uh, so what do you think of what I’m wearing?

Noah: It’s perfect.

Tessa: Oh, cool, so I don’t have to go back and change.

[ Both chuckle ]

Noah: See, this — this is how I like to work. You know, no one looking over my shoulder, micro-managing my every move.

Tessa: Oh, yeah, me too.

Noah: You know, speaking of micro-managing, adam actually asked me to do some more freelance work for newman media.

Tessa: Well, that’s a good thing, right?

Noah: I don’t know.

Sharon: I think it’s a great idea. It’s an excellent opportunity for you to showcase your amazing talent, and you’re gonna get well paid for it. And you’re gonna be contributing to a family business.

Noah: Yeah, but, on the other hand, it’s adam.

Tessa: Yeah, that could be a deal-breaker.

Sharon: Well, I don’t think you should just write him off like that, you know? You could at least give him some credit for the positive changes he’s made.

Noah: Oh, in comparison to everything else he’s done to us?

Sharon: Look, I know better than anyone how toxic any relationship with adam can be, but I’m sincerely convinced that he’s determined to live his life differently now. He’s working hard on overcoming his old destructive ways, and i think that you’ve seen some of that, too.

Noah: Look, I appreciate what he did for faith, I really do, but I don’t know if I buy that he’s a completely different person now.

Sharon: Okay, well, do me a favor — just approach this like any other job offer. Look at the work and don’t base your decision on things that adam’s done in the past. Base it on who he is right now. Can you promise you’ll try to do that?

Adam: Is it finished? Alright, good, I need it as soon as possible.

[ Telephone rings ] Yeah. Yeah, we’re working on that right now. I should have it by this afternoon. Right. Alright, thanks.

Victor: Hey, son.

Adam: [ Exhales sharply ] I was beginning to think you were avoiding me.

Victor: Now, why would I be avoiding you? I’ve been dealing abby’s and then chance’s return, okay? So what’s the reason for the urgency?

Adam: Chanccomm. There’s no time to waste. We have to put together a strong proposal, something aggressive, that will knock jill’s socks off, especially since we’re gonna be dealing with highly motivated competition.

Victor: Right. Now, about that, I’ve decided to let victoria bid for chanccomm without our interference.

Adam: What changed your mind?

Lily: I’ve never seen billy like this before, and I want to be prepared for what might come.

Victoria: You want to know the warning signs, if he’s falling back into his old bad habits.

Lily: Yeah, I’m sure you thought of the possibility that billy could backslide if he lost chanccomm. Which I’m assuming is one of the reasons why you offered to buy, to keep it out of adam’s hands. Because if adam were to have it, then he would just rub it in billy’s face.

Victoria: And that could serve to push billy even closer to the edge, if not over it.

Lily: Yeah, and I feel like billy looks at what’s happened as already a huge failure.

Victoria: He brought a lot of this on himself. As you know, he used that damning and unsubstantiated evidence against ashland to try to blackmail my father and my brother.

Lily: [ Scoffs ] Okay, well, victoria, let’s be honest. All of that information was true. I mean, I don’t condone the way that billy chose to use it, and, yes, he’s paying the price, but do you really feel like the punishment matches the crime, that he should just lose everything?

Victoria: I had no idea that billy would take the initiative and step down on his own.

Lily: Well, you made it very clear that if you and ashland were to purchase chanccomm, that he would be out. I mean, sometimes I really feel like you only want to help billy when it benefits you. But doesn’t the father of your children deserve better?

Victoria: What are you really doing here, lily? Did you want my advice or did you want to rake me over the coals? Psoriatic arthritis, made my joints stiff,…

Victoria: I am not gonna get into justifying my actions as ceo of newman/locke. However, I will tell you what to look for if billy suffers a relapse.

Lily: Thank you. I appreciate that.

Victoria: Well, first of all, there will be times when he’ll just go missing. And his excuses for where he’s been, they just won’t add up. There will be inconsistencies to his stories. You’ll know that he’s lying to you.

Lily: Do you mean, like, outright lying to my face?

Victoria: Yes. He will start drinking again at odd hours of the day and night, but most of all, there will be times when he’s on a manic high, like he’s on top of the world and he’s completely invincible. Everyone is wrong, and yet he is right and no one can see it but him.

Lily: Wow, I mean, I knew it could be bad, but this sounds pretty ugly.

Victoria: Yes. Well, any combination of these signs means that he’s headed for a fall. And I truly hope that if you see any patterns like this, you’ll let me know. I have the children to think about.

Lily: Yeah, absolutely. Um, thank you so much for your candor. And please let this conversation stay between us.

Victoria: Of course.

Lily: Have a good day.

Adam: By all means, hand victoria a competing media company on a silver platter. I mean, you have to know that she’s gonna use chanccomm to come after us just like billy did.

Victor: I’m doing this for victoria, son. Let her have this win, okay? She should never have sold the media division of newman enterprises to billy boy in the first place.

Adam: She claimed that cutting that division loose was a business move, like it was some part of a restructuring deal, but really, what it was, dad, is a gift to billy.

Victor: Well, now it goes back to newman enterprises where it belonged in the first place.

Adam: So let me get this straight — victoria’s lousy decision gets made right for her and I just continue having to be the scrappy underdog.

Victor: Just remember, son, people always root for the underdog.

Adam: I just can’t help but wonder if you have another motive. One that you’re not sharing with me. You hoping for a media war with your children? Is this another one of your little tests?

Noah: So just set yourself up the way you did back in the day when you were playing for spare change.

[ Chuckles ]

Tessa: Uh…okay. Hmm.

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

Noah: Alright, good. Good. And you know what? Feel free to play a little bit if it makes you feel more comfortable.

[ Playing guitar ]

[ Camera shutter clicking ] So how’s it feel recreating the past?

Tessa: Uh, it feels like, um…I’m tapping back into something that I didn’t know was still there.

Noah: It’s nice to let the soul guide you sometimes, you know, follow your gut emotions.

Tessa: Yeah, I mean, that’s how I write. You know, the best things come from, I don’t know — from my heart.

Noah: Same here. Now, I’m assuming for you it’s that first right note, but for me, it’s that first perfect image. After that, I know everything else I do will be good.

Tessa: Yeah, yeah, no, exactly.

Noah: That’s what makes you such an incredible artist — that passion you have for your music, it comes through every lyric, every strum of the guitar. I saw that gift at your first session at devon’s studio.

Tessa: Oh, wow. You remember that.

[ Laughs ] I was such a nervous wreck.

Noah: I know, but you worked through it. Released your first single, and the rest is history. I was so proud of you. Mariah was, too. You know, she was there that day because devon, he knew you’d want her there. I guess he saw that connection back then.

Tessa: Yeah, I mean, mariah’s been there through this entire crazy, wild ride. We’ve been through so much together.

Noah: Tell me about that.

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Tessa: I mean, I can’t believe how lucky I am to have mariah in my life. None of this would’ve happened without her love and support. She believed in me when I barely believed in myself.

Noah: Yeah, everyone needs a mariah in their life.

Tessa: Yeah. [ Chuckles ] There was this, um, music producer, and, yeah, she kept overproducing my songs and she wanted me to have this image that just wasn’t who I wanted to be. And mariah was the one who gave me confidence to stand up to her. She encouraged me to be who i am.

Noah: And look how that worked out.

Tessa: Yeah, I know, it really did. Funny enough, mariah produced a music video where I performed in public places.

[ Both chuckle ] On a rooftop, on a fire escape, on a swing.

Noah: Great minds.

Tessa: You know, I — I don’t think that I really knew what it was to be in love or to be loved unconditionally.

[ Camera shutter clicks ] It’s, uh, exhilarating, but it’s hard, too. Especially when you see your person hurting and there’s nothing you can do to take the pain away. All you can do is hurt with them and feel all the things that they’re feeling, including the kind of love that just consumes you and gets into your very being and fills you up. And when times are good, it makes you so happy that your heart aches.

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

[ Knock on door ]

Ashland: Did you and lily get things straightened out?

Victoria: Well, she came to me because she’s worried about billy and what this huge reversal might do to him emotionally.

Ashland: A fear that you also share.

Victoria: Yes, but lily has never dealt with billy falling off the wagon. So she wanted my advice and my insight on what the warning signs might be.

Ashland: Must not have been easy for her to come to you like this.

Victoria: But that just shows you how concerned she is about the place that he’s in. She asked me to say nothing to him about our conversation.

Ashland: Well, and what did you tell her?

Victoria: Well, I shared with her what to look out for, even though no one can be truly prepared for something like that. You know, the whole conversation reminded me how bad things can get. Billy can turn into a completely different person. You know, I am more convinced now that sending the kids to boarding school after the holidays, it’s the right thing to do.

Ashland: And have you talked to billy about that?

Victoria: No, not yet. It’s gonna be a difficult conversation, but I have to make him see that it’s for the best.

Lily: Hey, sorry I’m late.

Billy: It’s okay, no worries.

Lily: I’m sure you’re feeling pretty awful.

Billy: I’m fine. Right now I’m focused on getting back at the bastards who are responsible for driving me out of here in the first place.

Lily: I know. I know that you’re determined to go through with your plan.

Billy: Laid a little bit of ground work. Ran into adam, and right now he believes that I’m the mess that he’s expecting me to be. Bought it hook, line, and sinker, and he was loving every minute of it. Pretty sure he believes I’m falling off the rails right now, and it was his doing. And I bet he’s trying real hard to figure out how to best exploit me.

Lily: Well, good. That’s what you want.

Billy: Yeah, well, adam and victor were pretty sure that i was gonna spiral out of control, and that’s what I’m gonna let them believe. That I am blowing up my life. That’s the plan.

Lily: Well, I also had a very interesting conversation today with victoria.

Billy: Really? Did she track you down or is she still thinking about putting in a bid for chanccomm?

Lily: We chatted about that briefly, but, no, I went to go see her.

Billy: Okay. Why?

Lily: To ask what the warning signs might be.

Billy: Warning signs of what?

Lily: Well, I wanted to know what to look out for in case you start to backslide.

Billy: Are you worried about me? Lily, do you think that I’m actually gonna fall apart? (Vo) try all cinnamon toast crunch flavors, blasted with cinnadust! I wish we had a sled as fast as cricket 5g.

Sharon: Mariah, what are you doing here? Noah and tessa are out on the patio doing a photo shoot.

Mariah: Yeah, I know. I just, uh, watched them for a little bit. But I didn’t want to interrupt the creative flow. I am sure noah’s gonna make something really special, something very uniquely tessa.

Sharon: I have no doubt. But you know what? I’m glad that you and I have a moment alone together to chat because I was thinking about what we were talking about last night, about you not going to the party celebrating chance’s return. I know what you said was the reason, but…what did you not say?

Mariah: What do you mean?

Sharon: Well, it seems like you see these feelings of attachment toward the baby as something bad or that you should be ashamed of.

Mariah: No, not really. They were just incredibly overwhelming at first, which is why I needed to get out of the chancellor house, so I could deal with them. And I have.

Sharon: No, I know. Honey, I’m really proud of all the progress you’ve made, but, you know, there’s no time limit. You shouldn’t feel like you have to suddenly be over it. You went through a traumatic ordeal. And I think that chance, more than anyone, understands that.

Mariah: Funny, because I ran into victor earlier, and he said something incredibly similar. That was after I lied to him about why I didn’t make it to the party. Which, of course, I’m sure he picked up on.

Sharon: [ Chuckles ] But you see? I hope you know everyone supports you. No one is judging you at all, and you have no reason to think about yourself as a problem.

Mariah: No, it’s — it’s not like that. I don’t — that’s not why i didn’t go to the party. It wasn’t me obsessing over the baby. That’s not happening anymore. Look, abby and chance have a lot to deal with now, and I don’t want to be another complication.

Sharon: You are not a complication.

Mariah: No, no. Not me, just the situation. You know, while chance was gone, life here, it went on. And now he’s been dropped back into a marriage that he’s basically been awol from and add a new baby on top of that? I mean, it’s got to be really hard to adjust. And, I mean, bowie’s got to be picking up on that.

Sharon: Well, I’m sure it’s hard for all of you to adjust, but what’s important is that you’re sensitive to each other, you support one another, you know, for the sake of the baby.

Mariah: Exactly. Look, dominic is always gonna be at the forefront of my mind, and this situation, we have to make decisions on what is gonna be best for him.

Noah: You know, we really got some great stuff today. I can’t wait to show you. I really want to work with how the grittier past influences your work now, you know?

Tessa: Yeah, I mean, I love that direction. So, normally, I hate photo shoots, but with you, it was effortless. You made it so natural and easy. I feel like this was something special.

Noah: Yeah, it was.

Billy: Wow. I expect that out of jack and victoria, but not you.

Lily: Okay, come on. Just hear me out, okay? I went to go see victoria as part of your plan. I wanted to plant the seed in your head that you’re headed for some type of fall, and I needed an artful way of doing that.

Billy: Okay. That’s actually very clever.

Lily: Thank you. I thought it’d be normal that I’d want to know what the warning signs are.

Billy: Okay. And now that you do?

Lily: Well, I mean, I’ll be honest, you know, it did give me some doubts.

Billy: Okay, there we go.

Lily: No, stop, stop. Look, I love you, okay? And I believe in you and I trust you. And I really wish that things hadn’t turned out the way that they did and I wish you were coming to chancellor with me, but I understand why you can’T.

Billy: Do you really?

Lily: I do, yeaH. I realize now that this wasn’t about business or a company takeover. This was a personal attack on you, which makes it a personal attack on me. And I don’t think adam should get away with that. I think he needs to be held accountable. And I want you to be able to clear your name so that you can move on from this.

Billy: Well, amen.

Lily: And I also realize that victoria was a part of all of this. I mean, whether she was a willing participant or turned a blind eye, I mean, she was willing to let this happen to you. And meanwhile, her husband is getting away with all of his crimes, you know, that he’s built his entire life and fortune on. But anyway, I am sorry if I made you think for a second that i had broken trust with you.

Billy: But you didn’T. You’ve been open and honest from the beginning. And given my past, it makes sense that you would want to know what you’re in for.

Lily: And I want you to know that I’m not gonna give up on you the way that your ex did. And I probably should’ve talked to you before I went to go see her, but it’s all a part of your plan. If she thinks that you’re headed for some kind of relapse, i mean, that’s the narrative that you want to create.

Billy: And it’ll get back to victor and adam, and it’ll reinforce exactly what they think about me.

[ Sighs ] It’s actually kind of perfect. You are kind of perfect.

Lily: Wait, I’m sorry, “kind of”?

[ Both chuckle ]

Billy: I love you, and I am grateful that you are in this with me.

Lily: Aww.

Victoria: Oh, dad. Oh, I’m so excited that you stopped by. We have something to tell you.

Victor: You do?

Victoria: Yes. Ashland got some good news from his oncologist.

Ashland: I’m happy to report there’s been no further spread of the cancer.

Victor: Ashland, that is wonderful news indeed.

Ashland: It is.

Victor: In other words, the treatment in peru worked?

Ashland: So far, yeah. Things are looking up.

Victor: Wow. I’ll be damned.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: That is really nice to know. My goodness.

Ashland: Thank you.

Victor: Now I have some news of my own to share with you. I have decided that newman media will no longer compete for the acquisition of chanccomm. I want chanccomm to belong to newman/locke. Return to its fold, as it were.

Victoria: That is very good news.

Victor: [ Sighs ] Nyquil severe gives you powerful relief

Mariah: Look at you.

Tessa: What?

Mariah: You’re beaming. I can tell that you feel really good about the photo shoot and what noah’s gonna do with the album cover.

Tessa: Yeah, I really do. Noah’s got such a creative eye. I mean, I can’t wait to see what he comes up with.

Mariah: Me too.

Tessa: I saw, um, you and sharon at the coffee house. Seems like you were having a pretty intense conversation. Is there anything you want to share about it?

Mariah: Well, as you can probably tell, I have been feeling a bit in limbo. And, you know, chance coming back and then the party, I was really wondering if I had made the right call by not going, and I really wanted to be there for abby and chance, I did, but I also didn’t want my issues to be a distraction. So that’s what I was talking to my mom about. And it was a great conversation, and afterward, I felt really good about deciding not to go.

Tessa: Well…I mean, you know you could’ve come to me.

Mariah: I just feel like that is all that I have been talking about. Things with the baby and… I just realized there is so much going on for you right now, with your career and the album, and

that should be my focus.

Tessa: Hey, nothing is more important to me than you.

Mariah: I know. I saw you and noah, you know, doing your thing.

Tessa: Why didn’t you join us?

Mariah: I didn’t want to interrupt, especially when i heard all the wonderful things you were saying about me, about us, and what I mean to you and how much you love me.

Tessa: I meant every word. I love you.

Mariah: You stop that right now or I’m gonna start crying again.

Tessa: I love you so much.

[ Laughs ]

Victoria: Is adam on board with this?

Victor: Well, let me put it this way. He has no choice but to go along with my decision.

Victoria: Well, what makes you think that he’s going to accept it? He might put in a bid without you.

Victor: He doesn’t have the financial wherewithal to make a bid on his own, okay? So I don’t give a damn what he thinks.

Adam: The financial package that I’m putting together is for a potentially lucrative deal. Right, but what I’m offering is an opportunity to get in on the ground floor and a substantial return on your investment. Well, I hope that you will reconsider and get back to me. I guarantee you will not regret it. And will support you no matter what.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

At the police station, Belle asks Shawn who ran the test to match Philip’s blood to the blood on the knife and argues that they could’ve made a mistake. Shawn assures that the lab tech ran the test twice and it’s a definitive match for Philip. Belle just doesn’t believe that Brady would do something like that. Melinda arrives and questions Shawn not being out arresting Brady.

Brady swears on his kids’ lives that he did not attack Philip and he would’ve remembered if he did. Chloe says it’s just Shawn’s theory right now. Brady doesn’t give a damn what Shawn thinks and only cares about what Chloe thinks. Brady asks if Chloe thinks he did something to Philip. Chloe doesn’t answer so Brady takes that as a yes. Brady tries to get out of his hospital bed, saying he will go find Philip himself.

Lucas goes to the Brady Pub to meet Kate. Kate notes that he’s late while Lucas complains that he had a busy day. Kate asks him what’s wrong now. Lucas remarks that everything is just fine and asks why Kate is so chipper. Kate says that’s because Rex is back in Salem and questions why Lucas is so morose. Lucas then reveals that Sami is back in town too.

Nicole jokes that she’s going to have to mull over whether sex with EJ was good enough to make her forget about Rafe. Nicole asks if he was able to forget about his passionate nights with Sami. EJ jokes that he doesn’t know anyone by that name. EJ and Nicole continue kissing in bed as Sami then opens the door and sees them. Sami clears her throat to get their attention. EJ is surprised to see Sami is back. Sami responds that she is back and can see just how much he missed her.

Maggie enters the living room of the Kiriakis Mansion and suggests Victor come to bed, but she sees that Victor is looking through Philip’s old high school yearbook. Victor asks if Maggie has seen Philip. Maggie says no and asks if he’s worried about him. Victor responds that Chloe called and said she can’t find him anywhere so she wanted to know if he had seen him. Maggie asks what he said. Victor responds that Philip is dead to him.

Shawn tells Melinda that Philip’s blood is on the knife but they haven’t found anything in the river. Melinda argues that Philip is missing while Brady was found at the scene covered in Philip’s blood so that’s enough for her and she tells Shawn to go make the arrest. Shawn questions doing that without a body and asks what he’s going to charge Brady with. Belle wants to know that too. Melinda asks if Belle is here as an attorney. Belle declares that she is and she was just telling Shawn that Melinda’s entire case against Brady is entirely circumstantial. Shawn questions when Brady became Belle’s client. Belle says when Melinda walked in to the room.

Rafe thanks Ava for dinner. Ava suggests tomorrow they could go shopping for a Christmas tree as they could use some holiday spirit around here. Rafe agrees and jokes about living with the grinch in Gabi. Ava promises to try to ignore her. Rafe asks if Ava has thought about what she wants for Christmas. Ava responds that she has everything she wants as she and Rafe kiss.

Chloe follows Brady out of his hospital room and questions where he’s going. Brady responds that he’s going down to the river to help them find Philip. Chloe reminds Brady that he’s in a hospital gown. Brady says that’s better than waiting around for Shawn to build a case against him for something he didn’t do. Chloe says she’s not accusing him of anything. Brady argues that he can see it in her face so she might as well just admit that she thinks either Philip is badly hurt or dead and that he did it.

Sami remarks on Nicole’s past in porn and calls her a skank. EJ tells Sami to leave because he and Nicole were in the middle of something. Sami warns EJ not to touch Nicole again.

Lucas explains to Kate that Sami was kidnapped and locked in a room this whole time. Kate questions how he rescued her. Lucas tells her that he was with Allie when Sami managed to call her, so he went and got her. Kate calls it unreal even for Sami and asks if Roman knows. Lucas doubts it because she didn’t want any family involved. Kate questions what’s more important than her father knowing she was kidnapped. Lucas tells her it’s EJ DiMera.

Nicole tells EJ that she will go so he and Sami can talk. Sami calls it her best idea while EJ wants Nicole to stay and Sami to go. Sami refuses to leave until she’s had her say. Nicole decides she doesn’t want to be there for that. EJ questions why he should listen to what Sami has to say. Sami argues that she is his wife. EJ mocks her as his loyal wife and brings up her cheating on him with her ex-husband. Sami points out that he’s in bed with his ex-wife which EJ calls a perfect example of divine justice.

Maggie questions why Victor says Philip is dead to him when he doesn’t mean it. Victor insists that he does mean it and calls Philip a colossal screw up for getting involved with Ava twice. Victor complains that Philip almost cost him what he worked his entire life to build. Maggie knows Victor is disappointed in Philip but says he looked sad while looking at Philip’s old yearbook. Victor says he was just remembering the high hopes he had for him. Maggie feels he was also thinking about how much he loves and misses Philip since he has a permanent place in his heart just like Bo and Isabella. Victor doesn’t want Philip in the same breath as his other children. Victor questions God taking his other children from him and leaving him with the one son who has done nothing but bring shame to the Kiriakis name.

Belle tells Melinda that she won’t let her railroad Brady just because she’s hungry for another headline. Melinda wonders if Shawn is too close to this case for comfort since Victor is his grandfather, Philip is his uncle, and Brady is his brother in law while Belle is now representing the number one suspect. Belle argues that Melinda has a lot of nerve questioning Shawn’s integrity. Shawn assures Melinda that he is perfectly capable of separating his family from his work. Melinda tells him to do his job, find out what happened to Philip, and arrest the person who did it as she then walks out.

Chloe gets Brady back in his hospital bed. Chloe is glad he listened to reason but Brady blames the bump on his head. Chloe mentions that Kayla thought he hit his head on a rock when he passed out. Chloe questions Brady wanting to go down to the river when there’s cops all over the place. Brady asks Chloe again if she thinks he made Philip disappear. Chloe admits she doesn’t know what to think since Brady was drunk and sent those texts. Brady shouts that he wasn’t drunk and didn’t send messages. Brady insists that if he had a drink, he would’ve remembered it because he’s been clean and sober for a long time now. Brady pleads with Chloe to believe him as he swears he did not do this. Brady doesn’t care if the whole town thinks he did it, he just needs to know that Chloe still believes in him because that’s important to him. Chloe responds that she sees the sincerity in his eyes and hears it in his voice. Brady says that’s something. Chloe admits the Brady that she knows would never hurt anyone. Brady says he’s still that guy. Chloe says when he’s sober he is, but she’s seen what it’s like when he falls off the wagon. Brady insists that he didn’t touch a drop of alcohol. Chloe questions how it all ended up in his system. Brady doesn’t know and suggests someone poured it down his throat. Chloe recalls being married to him and remembering the mood swings, blackouts, and rage. Brady reminds her that he never laid a hand on her. Chloe cries there were times that she was really afraid that he would because he doesn’t know what it looks like when he was out of control and loaded.

Belle questions how Shawn can stand working with Melinda every day when she is such a bitch. Shawn reminds her that she told Claire that no female should ever call another the B word. Shawn wishes she would’ve told him that she was representing Brady before she told Melinda. Belle argues that Brady is her brother and Melinda was drooling at the idea of representing him. Shawn goes over how bad things look for Brady and says he can’t turn a blind eye to the facts. Belle points out that they don’t know that something bad happened to Philip. Shawn says that is why they are searching the area. Belle decides to go to the hospital to let Brady know he has an attorney whether he wants one or not. Belle asks if Shawn is going to stay here or go join the search. Shawn responds that he has to go tell Victor that his son is missing.

Lucas tells Kate that he couldn’t believe that they were back in Salem for five seconds and Sami couldn’t wait to go to the DiMera Mansion to see EJ. Kate guesses she’s looking for reconciliation but says with a man like EJ, that won’t be easy. Lucas says that Sami thinks her being kidnapped will make up for the fact that they slept together. Kate says maybe that could happen but questions if Sami will be able to forget about what’s happening between Nicole and EJ which shocks Lucas as he did not know.

Sami tells Nicole that EJ is basically admitting that he’s just sleeping with her to hurt her. EJ argues that Sami will say anything when she’s in fire breathing mode. Nicole complains that Sami hasn’t changed and still thinks the world revolves around her. Nicole tells Sami that she and EJ are both available, consenting adults so they both decided to start seeing each other again and have nothing to do with Sami. Sami remarks that Nicole is available because Eric finally wised up and dumped her. Sami shouts that EJ is not available, he’s her husband. Sami then calls Nicole a bitch and slaps her.

Lucas questions something going on between EJ and Nicole and asks how serious it is. Kate says she didn’t say it was serious but Lucas wants to know what she knows. Kate reveals that she ran in to EJ’s assistant and got her talking, so she let it slip that EJ and Nicole have been having dinner on a regular basis. Lucas can’t believe it and calls it amazing. Lucas says that Sami is going to lose it and he absolutely loves it.

EJ threatens to call security on Sami. Nicole tells Sami that this whole situation is Sami’s fault because she couldn’t help herself but destroy her marriage too. Sami asks if she was supposed to not tell Eric that she was slutting around with Xander. Nicole argues that if Sami minded her own business, she’d still be with Eric. Sami says she couldn’t let Eric live a lie. Nicole adds that Sami would still be with EJ but she couldn’t keep her mouth shut. Sami argues that it doesn’t change that Nicole is sleeping with another woman’s husband. EJ declares that the only reason that he has the misfortune of still being her husband is because she vanished before he could serve her divorce papers. Sami is shocked that he filed divorce papers. EJ says of course he did after she cheated on him with Lucas. EJ reminds Sami that he told her their marriage was over before she left town but she refused to accept it. Sami calls him a pompous ass and reveals she didn’t leave town, she was kidnapped.

Rafe brings out a box of Christmas ornaments since they are going to get a tree tomorrow. Rafe says most of the ornaments are old since his mom handed them down to he and Gabi. Rafe shows her an ornament he made as a kid. Rafe asks if Ava has any ornaments. Ava says her family couldn’t afford them and weren’t always in a Christmas spirit, but she is this year. Rafe assures that he is too. Ava wonders if that has anything to do with them being together. Rafe thinks it does as they kiss.

Shawn goes to the Kiriakis Mansion to see Victor. Victor guesses it’s not a social call and asks who it is about. Shawn informs him that it’s Philip, so Victor asks what he has done now. Shawn reveals that Philip is missing and with the evidence they have, they have reason to believe he’s been a victim of foul play. Victor argues that he must suspect somebody and asks who. Shawn responds that given the evidence they have right now, their main suspect is Brady.

Brady guesses he finally understands why Chloe chose Philip over him because after all these years, she still doesn’t trust him. Chloe says it’s not that but what she saw last night brought back a lot of bad memories. Brady is sorry about that and tells her she can go home if she wants instead of staying with him. Chloe says it doesn’t matter what she thinks since she’s not a cop or a lawyer. Chloe tells him not to get all worked up until they know more. Brady argues that it will always matter to him what she thinks. Belle enters the room. Brady informs Belle that Chloe was just telling him that she’s still not sure if he did something to Philip or not. Brady then asks Belle if she thinks he has it in him to kill someone. Belle states that no one knows if there’s even be an murder. Brady mocks that being Belle’s vote of confidence. Belle tells him not to take that attitude if the police come to question him. Brady asks if that’s going to happen. Belle confirms that Melinda tried to talk Shawn in to arresting him, but she told her that she was his lawyer so she backed off. Brady calls this insane and argues that this can’t be happening. Belle warns him to take this seriously because the circumstantial evidence against him is accumulating. Chloe questions what evidence but Belle says as Brady’s lawyer, she has to ask Chloe to leave. Brady stops her and says Belle can’t kick her out of his room as whatever she has to say, he’s fine with her hearing. Belle warns that Melinda could call Chloe as a witness. Brady insists it won’t go to trial because he’s innocent. Belle then reveals that the blood on the knife matched Philip’s.

Victor questions Shawn officially saying that his son was attacked by his grandson. Shawn says it’s not official so Victor asks what he knows for sure. Shawn explains that Chloe was the last person to see Philip at the river bank and they have reason to believe Brady had been there as they found his watch on the ground. Shawn adds that Chloe left Philip to go find Brady but didn’t have any luck then when she returned, Philip was gone and Brady was lying on the ground covered in blood with a knife on the ground and the blood matched Philip’s. Maggie can’t believe it. Victor argues that he knew this was going to happen. Maggie encourages Victor to keep a cool head for Philip and Brady. Shawn asks what Victor means by knowing this was going to happen. Victor responds that he knew Chloe would be the death of Philip or Brady.

EJ questions Sami being kidnapped. Nicole doesn’t buy it but Sami says it’s the truth and explains that she went to Rafe’s to see Gabi about staying in the mansion but before she could, someone snuck up behind her and attacked her. EJ questions why he should believe her and not think she’s just spinning a story to get out of trouble. Nicole suggests Sami could have been soaking up the sun at a five star hotel. Sami points out that she doesn’t have a tan. Sami doesn’t believe this and argues that she’s EJ’s wife and mother of his children. Sami states that someone dragged her off and held her prisoner for three months. Sami questions this being how EJ reacts. EJ says if she wants a more horrified reaction, he suggests telling Lucas. Sami reveals that she did and that’s how she’s even standing here right now because Lucas is the one who rescued her.

Kate calls Lucas alarmingly happy over this whole thing and questions him getting his hopes up of getting back with Sami. Lucas talks about how Sami despises Nicole more than anything so this could really break the spell EJ has on Sami. Kate points out that Sami could also still fight. Lucas calls her a downer. Kate just doesn’t want him to get his hopes up again. Kate then gets a call from Victor. She wonders what he wants and answers the call, asking why he’s calling at this time of night and if everything is alright. Victor says he’s afraid it isn’t and asks Kate to come to the house now because it’s about their son.

Belle warns Brady to be very careful about what he says and does from now on. Chloe informs her that she had to keep Brady from going down to the river. Belle asks if he’s out of his mind. Brady says he’s going to do whatever it takes to clear his name. Brady argues that Chloe has doubts about what he did last night, so he can only imagine what the cops and the rest of the town thinks. Belle tells him that his only job right now is to try and piece together what happened after he left the Pub. Brady says he’s trying but there’s nothing there. Brady remarks that he would call Marlena to hypnotize him but she’s a little busy right now. Brady worries that if they find Philip at the bottom of the river, everyone will think he put him there.

Victor informs Maggie and Shawn that Kate is on her way over. Maggie asks how to break this to Kate when this is every mother’s nightmare. Shawn points out that there is still hope that Philip is out there, alive and well. Victor argues that if Shawn believed that, they wouldn’t be dragging the river. Victor asks if Shawn believes Philip is dead. Shawn then gets a call and says he’s on his way. Victor asks if it’s about Philip. Shawn reveals the divers have found something.

Lucas asks if Victor gave Kate any clue about what’s going on. Kate says no and just that he wants her to come over right away but she doesn’t think Philip is getting a citizen of the year award. Lucas offers to go with Kate but she thinks he’s been through enough today already. Kate suggests Lucas stay at the Pub until Roman gets back which he agrees to do. Kate says she will let him know how it goes. Lucas is sure Philip is fine. Kate says she is too as she exits the Pub.

EJ questions Sami calling Lucas while she was held prisoner. Sami clarifies that she called Allie and Lucas happened to be there, so he helped her figure out where she was and came to rescue her. EJ points out that she never called him but Sami reveals that she did but his phone was dead. Sami remarks that maybe he was sexting too much with Nicole. EJ asks why there was no ransom demand if she was kidnapped and questions who would want the aggravation of holding her captive unless there was money to be made. Sami accuses Nicole of having her kidnapped since she got her out of the way, so she could have her chance with EJ. Nicole says she’s had enough and tells EJ to call her if and when he gets Sami out of his life. Sami stops Nicole and says she’s not going anywhere until she’s through with her. Nicole slaps Sami and says she wasn’t going to stoop to her level but then she thought why not. Sami then tackles Nicole onto the bed. EJ pulls Sami off and shouts that Sami is not wanted here and this is no longer her house. EJ threatens to throw Sami out himself if he has to. Sami declares that this is not over by a longshot as she then storms out of the mansion.

Ava asks Rafe if he meant what he said about being in the Christmas spirit because they are together. Rafe asks why she would doubt that. Ava guesses she’s feeling insecure about being worthy of someone as wonderful as him. Rafe tells her not to say that. Ava says the more you care about someone, the harder it is and then you want the assurance that the other person feels the same way. Rafe thinks he knows a way to reassure her and kisses her. Ava jokes that might be working but he can try a little harder. Rafe says it’s definitely worth a try as they continue kissing.

EJ helps Nicole get her shoe back on. Nicole goes over what just happened with Sami. EJ asks if that upset her. Nicole says it wasn’t her finest moment. EJ tells Nicole that she doesn’t have to leave but Nicole says she does. Nicole says it was fun while it lasted. EJ argues that Sami being back changes nothing but Nicole says he knows that it changes everything. EJ disagrees. Nicole asks what if Sami was telling the truth about being kidnapped. EJ says for the sake of their children, he’s glad Lucas brought her back safely but as far as they are concerned, Sami is still his past and Nicole is his future. EJ then kisses Nicole and they hug.

Sami goes to the Brady Pub looking for Roman, saying she could use a cup of chowder and someone to talk to. Lucas appears at the bar instead and asks if he will do.

Kate goes to the Kiriakis Mansion. Maggie and Victor offer her a drink but Kate declines and says she’s here so she wants to know what the emergency is. Victor suggests she sit down but Kate worries that means bad news and tells Victor to just tell her. Kate asks if Philip was arrested. Victor says it’s nothing like that but Philip is missing and the police suspect foul play as they think someone may have hurt their boy or worse.

Belle tells Brady that the best thing he can do is stay in the hospital and get better while leaving the investigating to the police and she will start putting his defense together. Brady thanks her for getting there so quickly and for everything. Brady says he owes her. Belle jokes for him to just wait until he gets her bill. Belle then gets a text from Shawn that the divers found something in the river. Chloe asks if it was Philip.

Melinda goes to the river to see what Shawn and the divers have. Shawn reveals a prosthetic leg and says the only person he knows that needs one of those is Philip Kiriakis.

Young & The Restless Update

Recap written by Christine

Noah went to Devon’s with the pictures that he took for Tessa’s album. Noah said it had been awhile since he had to preview a project while he was still creating it. Devon said he’d hate for Noah to put in a bunch of work then find out it wasn’t what Devon was looking for. Noah set his own schedule in London. He asked what deadline Devon was thinking of. Devon suggested December 22. He didn’t want Noah to feel rushed though. Devon asked why Noah left London, and he said he did it for personal reasons. Devon didn’t pry.

Devon was impressed with the photos. He said Noah really captured Tessa. Devon was glad Tessa suggested Noah, which was something Devon had been hesitant about given their history. “You mean you dating Mariah, me dating Tessa before they fell for each other,” Noah said, smiling. Devon said it felt like a lifetime ago, and Mariah and Tessa were going strong. Devon said you could tell from these photos that Noah got Tessa. Devon always thought Tessa was a bit guarded and hard to read, but she was obviously comfortable showing an open side to Noah. Noah said it wasn’t him, it was the camera.

At their place, Abby told Chance that Dominic said he wanted to go out. She thought it’d be fun to take the two of them to Society and show them off. After joking about Dominic talking, Chance said that it sounded fun, but he wasn’t sure it was a good idea. He didn’t know if they’d be safe. She reminded him that his supervisor said they were safe. She thought a family lunch would be a good way to ease into normal life. He agreed, and she took the baby upstairs to get him ready. Chance looked troubled.

Abby, Chance and the baby arrived at the restaurant, and she promised they’d keep it low profile. Mariah and Tessa showed up. Mariah was shocked to see Chance out so soon. Chance was glad to run into Mariah, because he wanted to thank her for everything she did. He was sorry he wasn’t there to protect her. She said the kidnapping was in the past, and she was moving on, with the love and support of everyone around her, especially Tessa. Abby said they could never thank Mariah enough for keeping their baby safe. Chance invited the couple to join them, but Tessa said they were here for a working lunch. Abby wanted to throw Tessa an album release party, but Tessa said she’d let Devon handle it. Abby said she’d send Tessa and Mariah the same tasting menu Abby and Chance were going to have. Abby and her family went to the back to see the chef.

Mariah thought Chance seemed a little off. Tessa said that it’d take awhile for Chance to feel safe again, kind of like Mariah. Mariah said that what she went through was horrible, but what Chance went through was unimaginable. Mariah and Tessa looked over the photos Noah took. Mariah was quiet, and Tessa thought she hated the photos, but Mariah actually loved every single one. Mariah said these photos reminded her of Tessa’s early days, performing at the Underground. Mariah used to hide in the back and watch. Tessa joked that Mariah couldn’t hide because there were only three people there. Mariah thought Noah really captured something. Tessa said that Noah got her to relax by talking about Mariah, so anything special in the pictures was because of Mariah.

Abby wanted Chance’s honest opinion on the menu. They’d finally transitioned to Pamela’s food, while retaining some of the favorites Lola developed. Chance couldn’t believe Lola just walked away like that. Abby couldn’t stand in the way of Lola taking that stellar opportunity. Chance called Abby a good person. Abby said that she used to be selfish until Chance made her a better person. He said he was no saint, and she told him that what happened in Spain wasn’t his fault. That wasn’t what he was thinking about. Dominic cried out, and Mariah glanced over at the table.

Mariah and Tessa came over to say goodbye. Mariah was glad to see the Chancellor family together. She thought they made a beautiful picture. Chance said that Mariah could come visit Dominic any time. Mariah and Tessa quickly left, leaving Chance wondering if he said something wrong. Abby explained that Mariah developed a deep bond with the baby in captivity, and she had a hard time letting go. Chance wasn’t surprised because he understood how it felt. He was sure he would’ve lost his mind if Kim weren’t there for him after the explosion. Abby was thankful for Kim saving Chance. She wondered if he was thinking about the ones who weren’t saved. Chance thought about them every minute of every day. Abby wished there was something she could say to make him feel better. He said some wounds words couldn’t heal. She took his hand.

At Crimson Lights, Nick asked Sharon if she’d saved any of Noah’s old costumes from holiday pageants. He needed something for Christian to wear, and he’d recalled that Noah had dressed up as an elf and a wise man. Laughing, Sharon said that Noah was a grown man, so she didn’t have any of his childhood costumes, and even if she did, they wouldn’t be in good shape. She thought Nick knew that, which made her wonder why he was really here. Nick found a costume Summer made Christian a couple years ago, but it didn’t fit. He guessed Phyllis always handled this kind of thing for him. Sharon said she’d make Christian something. Nick didn’t wan to impose. Sharon said he wasn’t – she loved Christian. Nick called Sharon a lifesaver and everybody’s rock. Sharon wondered if Nick needed someone to lean on and if he was feeling a little lost after his breakup. He said he was actually surprised at how well the parting of the ways had gone. He was actually going to be taking Phyllis some of her things that she left at his place. Sharon said sometimes people did that because they were hoping to reconnect and sometimes the were hoping to punish the person. Nick said Sharon was reading too far into things. He was just trying to save Phyllis a trip. Sharon warned Nick that this could trigger some unexpected feelings. He left.

Amanda shared pictures of the old Victorian house with Phyllis. She and Imani just signed a lease on it to use as their office. Phyllis loved it. Amanda asked for Phyllis to lend her exquisite design tastes to fixing up the office. Phyllis was willing to help. Imani passed the Wisconsin bar on her first try. Phyllis was really happy for Amanda. Amanda noted that Phyllis seemed down in the dumps. Phyllis said Summer told her that Jack flew to NY for a meeting with Kyle. Phyllis thought it was weird that Jack didn’t tell her. She added that she and Jack had this really awkward conversation about their friendship. Jack said things had been kind of strange between them since she broke up with Nick. She couldn’t forget that he told her he had feelings for her, and she wasn’t sure what to do now. She said their friendship was so strong, and she had to wait for it to adjust. Amanda asked if Phyllis meant cool down. Phyllis meant get used to it.

Phyllis said she and Jack were good friends, and she didn’t want to screw it up. Jack said he didn’t want to get his heart broken by her again, and she agreed with him. She was sure she could get past this awkward phase and things would work out. Amanda asked Phyllis what she wanted, deep down. Every instinct Phyllis had told her to leave this alone. She wasn’t getting back together with Jack. She respected their friendship and didn’t want to hurt him. “If keeping things in the friend zone really was a mutual decision, then why were you so upset that Jack went to New York and didn’t tell you?,” Amanda asked. Amanda asked if Phyllis would expect a friend to tell her when they were traveling on business. “Or maybe the decision wasn’t mutual and it feels a little more like a rejection,” Amanda said. Phyllis reiterated that Jack said he didn’t want a relationship with her. It would kill her if she hurt him again. Nick showed up, so Amanda left.

Phyllis looked through the box Nick brought. He’d included a handheld video game, and she reminded him that she gave him that for Valentines day. He said it was loaded with her favorite game, so she should have it. She repeated that she gave this to him for Valentines Day, the greatest gift ever, besides that sign he gave her from Pepe’s Roadhouse. He said that was where they had their first wedding. She was glad the sign wasn’t in the box. He said it wouldn’t fit. He was sorry he brought this box and made things… She was glad he brought it because it showed they didn’t waste their time together. This was a sentimental process. He said that he never felt like the time they spent together was a waste, and he never would. She never would either. She asked if the tension in his family had eased up. He was mostly avoiding his relatives, and she noted that she’d been telling him to do that all along. She noticed that he left Chance’s party early. He said Victoria accused him of pushing everyone in his life away, including Phyllis.

Phyllis said that Victoria didn’t know anything about their relationship. Nick realized eventually, he was going to have to try and work things out with his dad, but for now he was happy to focus on New Hope, Christian, Faith was doing well, and he was glad to have Noah home. She said he was lucky to have his kids around. She missed Summer and Daniel. Nick got an text from Nikki summoning him to the ranch, so he left. Phyllis got a text from Jack. He was sorry for disappearing, but he had Jabot business. He’d try and make it up to her when he got back.

Amanda came home as Noah and Devon were wrapping up their meeting. Amanda recalled he did the light installation for Victor’s tribute. She wondered if he’d like to make a corporate ID package for her new firm, and he said he’d keep her offer in mind. Noah said he’d go talk to Tessa and show her the images. He left. Amanda liked watching Devon in work mode. She thought it took a certain skill set to manage artists. He noticed she was happy today. She said life was really good, and she wanted to take him out to lunch to celebrate.

Amanda and Devon ran into Abby, Chance and the baby, who were on their way out because Dom was fussy. Devon talked to the baby. Abby wished that she knew Devon’s secret, especially at 3 AM. Amanda said that when Dom was at their place, Devon had the magic touch. Self depreciating Devon said he was just boring. Abby, Chance and Dom left, and Amanda asked Devon if he was okay.

Amanda was already getting calls from potential clients. She asked if he looked at the paint colors she showed him. She loved dove gray, but Imani wanted something bold. Imani knew some paint guru who charged more per hour than lawyers did, but Amanda was sure they could choose a color on their own. Devon wasn’t listening. He thought Amanda was talking about a bird. She wondered if he was distracted because of Dominic. He was thinking about Chance, actually. Devon thought Chance seemed uneasy being out in public. Amanda thought it was more about Chance being a brand new dad who’d just met his baby. Devon was worried that Dominic would pick up on Chance’s stress, like he did when Abby was grieving.

Chance was holding Dominic at home, when Abby came in and said it was nap time. She took the baby upstairs. Chance sighed deeply. Nina called and Chance told her that he was okay. Abby was coming downstairs, and she looked at Chance with concern.

Noah went to Crimson Lights and asked Sharon if she’d seen Tessa. She hadn’t, but she wanted to see the photos he took. He wanted to show Tessa first. She thought this project was just what he needed. He said she didn’t have to worry because he was doing fine. She wasn’t worried, she was delighted he was doing something he enjoyed. He said the album had his creative juices flowing, thanks to Tessa, who made it easy. At that moment, Tessa and Mariah arrived. Noah smiled.

Mariah agreed that Tessa was an ideal subject. Tessa said she and Mariah picked a photo, and she hoped it was the same one Noah liked. Noah said he had a great meeting with Devon, and they agreed about a photo. Tessa was caught off guard – they chose a photo without her? Noah said it wasn’t like that – Devon just wanted to see where Noah was going on this. Noah said Tessa got the final call, he was just working in service of her decision. Tessa showed Noah the photo she liked, and it was the same one Noah chose. Noah said that they had a mind meld. Sharon took a look, and she loved it too. Mariah had to get back to work, so she left. On the patio, Mariah turned around and watched Tessa laughing with Noah and Sharon. Tessa saw Mariah and went out to check on her. Mariah said it was just nice to see Tessa laughing and happy. Tessa said she was giddy and in love. They kissed, and Noah watched them with a somber expression.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Belle: Who ran the test? Couldn’t the night crew have a made a mistake?

Shawn: The lab tech ran the test twice. It’s a definitive match for philip’S.

Belle: I just don’t believe that brady would do something like that to philip.

Shawn: Listen, I know, honey, but you just–

Melinda: Oh. I hate to interrupt that tender moment. But don’t you think you should be out arresting brady black?

[Monitor beeping]

Brady: I–I swear on my kids’ lives. I–I didn’t attack philip. I didn’T. I would have remembered if I did it, chloe.

Chloe: Okay. It is just shawn’s theory for now. He thinks–

Brady: I don’t–I don’t care what shawn thinks. I care about what you think. I want to know what you think. Do you think I did something to him? You–oh, wow. I’ll take that as a yes. You–okay, all right.

Chloe: What are you doing? What are you doing? Stop.

Brady: I’m getting out of this hospital bed, and I’m gonna find philip myself.

[“Hark the herald angels sing” instrumental playing]

Kate: So you’re late getting home.

Lucas: Yeah, I had kind of had a busy day.

Kate: Oh, no. You have that sad cowboy face like from those westerns that roman always makes me watch. What’s wrong now?

Lucas: Nothing is wrong. Everything’s perfect. Everything’s just fine and dandy. Thank you. Why are you so chipper? Disgustingly chipper? What’d you get to swindle an orphanage or something?

Kate: Okay. Now I’m going to ignore that. And actually, if I am feeling chipper, it’s because rex is back in salem.

Lucas: Right.

Kate: Why are you so morose?

Lucas: Because sami’s back in town too.

Nicole: Hmm. Is sex with you good enough for me to forget about rafe? Huh? I am gonna have to mull that over.

Ej: [Chuckles] Oh, that’s not what I was hoping for.

Nicole: No? What about you? Were you able to forget all about your passionate nights with your precious samantha?

Ej: Samantha? I don’t believe I know anyone by that name.

Nicole: Oh.

Ej: Mmm.

[Tense music]

Sami: [Clears throat]

Ej: Samantha? You’re back.

Sami: Yeah. I am. And I can see just how much you missed me.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Maggie: Victor. Well, whatever you’re reading, why don’t you bring it up to bed?

Victor: I wasn’t reading.

Maggie: Oh, it’s philip’s old high school yearbook. Oh, look at him. He’s a baby.

Victor: You haven’t seen him, have you?

Maggie: No. Are you worried about him?

Victor: Chloe called. Can’t find him anywhere. She wanted to know if I’ve seen him.

Maggie: What did you say?

Victor: That philip was dead to me.

Shawn: The blood on the knife is a match for philip’s, but the divers haven’t found anything in the river.

Melinda: Philip’s blood is on the knife. Philip’s missing. Brady black was found in the same spot that philip was last seen alive covered in blood which matched philip’S. That’s enough for me. Go make the arrest.

Shawn: What? Without a body? What am I gonna charge him with?

Belle: Yeah. I’d like to know the answer to that too.

Melinda: Are you here as an attorney?

Belle: Yes. I am. And I was just telling my husband that your entire case against my client is completely circumstantial.

Shawn: Wait a minute. Brady’s your client? Since when?

Belle: Since she walked into the room.

Rafe: Mmm. Thanks. That hit the spot.

Ava: [Laughs] Good. I’m glad. And you are welcome. Hey, you know what? I was thinking maybe tomorrow we could go shopping for a christmas tree. You know, I think we could use a dose of the holiday spirit around here.

Rafe: Yes.

Ava: Yeah?

Rafe: Yes, we sure could. Lord knows we’ve got the live-in grinch.

Ava: Oh, god. I promise. I promise you I will try and ignore her.

Rafe: Promise?

Ava: Yes. So tomorrow works?

Rafe: Yes. Yeah, that’s good. Real good. What about you, hmm?

Ava: What about me?

Rafe: Have you thought about what you want for christmas.

Ava: Nope. Because I have everything that I want.

Rafe: Aw.

Chloe: Brady, where are you going?

Brady: Going down to the river, ’cause I want to help him find philip.

Chloe: Really? In a hospital gown? It’s a bit drafty. Don’t you think?

Brady: It’s better than lying around in a hospital bed waiting for shawn to build a case against me. For something I didn’t do.

Chloe: I’m not accusing you of anything.

Brady: [Sighs] I can see it in your face. You might as well just admit it. You think that either philip is badly hurt or dead. And you think that I did it.

Sami: Don’t bother. I’ve seen it all before. Like anyone who rented a misty circle porn in the ’90s.

Nicole: I see you haven’t lost that nimble wit of yours.

Sami: And I see you’re still the same skank playing musical beds.

Ej: Samantha, you’re going to have to leave. Nicole and I were in the middle of something, weren’t we?

Sami: Don’t touch her again, ej. It’s my 4:05 the-show-must-go-on

Kate: So sami didn’t leave town on her own?

Lucas: Nope. No. She was kidnapped. And she’s been locked in a room for this whole time.

Kate: And you rescued her? But how the hell did that happen?

Lucas: It wasn’t easy, but I was with allie when sami managed to call her. And I–I just helped sami figure out where she was, and then I went and got her.

Kate: This is unreal. I mean, even for sami, you know? So roman knows?

Lucas: No, I doubt it. I doubt it. Sami made it a point that she didn’t want to get any family involved. She didn’t want to notify anybody.

Kate: What? What’s more important than your father knowing that you were kidnapped?

Lucas: To sami you mean? Oh, I got two words for you. Ej dimera.

Kate: [Sighs]

Nicole: You know what, ej? I think I’m gonna go. It seems you two have a lot to talk about.

Ej: No, you mustn’t go.

Sami: Oh, yes, she must. Get out of here.

Nicole: Don’t mind if I do.

Sami: Best idea you’ve had all year.

Ej: You’re not going anywhere. Samantha will be the one leaving. Now.

Sami: I’m not going anywhere until I’ve had my say.

Nicole: Well, and I’d rather not be here for that. So thank you.

Ej: Why should I listen to what you have to say?

Sami: Because I am your wife.

Ej: Oh, right. Of course. My loving, faithful, loyal wife who while I was fighting to regain my health was cheating on me with her ex-husband.

Sami: You’re in bed with your ex-wife.

Ej: Which is the perfect example of divine justice.

Sami: [Scoffs]

Ej: Don’t you agree?

Sami: [Scoffs]

Maggie: Why do you say things like that, victor, when you know you don’t mean it?

Victor: I mean every word of it. My son is a colossal screw-up.

Maggie: Well, I don’t approve of everything that philip does, but he still–

Victor: Who else would get involved with the likes of ava vitali not once but twice? Why, he’s gonna go ahead and cost me everything I’ve worked my entire life to build.

Maggie: I know you’re disappointed in him.

Victor: That’s an understatement.

Maggie: But when I found you looking at his school picture, you looked so sad.

Victor: I was remembering the high hopes that I had for him.

Maggie: Of course you were. And you were also thinking about how much you love and miss him. He has a permanent place in your heart, victor. And he always will. Just like bo and isabella.

Victor: Don’t use philip’s name in the same breath as my other children. You know, I often wondered why god took them from me so soon and left me with the one son who’s done nothing but bring shame to the kiriakis name.

Belle: I am not gonna let you railroad brady just because you’re hungry for another headline.

Melinda: You know what? Detective brady, I’m starting to wonder if you’re too close to this case for comfort.

Shawn: Okay, what’s that supposed to mean?

Melinda: Victor kiriakis is your grandfather. That makes philip your uncle. Brady black is your brother-in-law. And now your lovely wife is saying that she’s representing your number one suspect. Do you hear what I’m saying?

Shawn: Yeah, that I can’t be unbiased.

Belle: Mm-hmm. Wow, you’ve got a lot of nerve coming in here and questioning my husband’s integrity.

Melinda: Ooh, I was not talking to you, counselor.

Shawn: Look, I can assure you, madame district attorney, that I’m perfectly capable of separating my family loyalties from my work.

Melinda: Good. Then do your job. Find out what happened to philip kiriakis and arrest the person who did it.

Brady: Stop, stop. You don’t have to do it.

Chloe: Why? Your pillow’s all messed up and your blank–

Brady: I can do it. I can do it. I can do it myself.

Chloe: Oh, all right.

Brady: [Groans]

Chloe: Come on. Come on. Lay back.

Brady: Thank you.

Chloe: You’re welcome. I’m glad you’re kind of listening to some reason.

Brady: I’m not listening to reason, chloe. I just have a bump on the back of my head. It’s beating like a bass drum.

Chloe: Yeah, well, kayla thinks that you might have hit your head on a rock when you passed out.

Brady: That must have been some rock.

Chloe: What were you thinking wanting to go down to the river? What would that look like? There’s cops crawling all over the place.

Brady: What would they think that I couldn’t resist going back to the scene of the crime? Is that it?

Chloe: Brady–

Brady: Chloe, I’m–I’m gonna ask you one more time. I keep asking you this over and over again. I need to know the answer. Do you think I made philip disappear? Yes or no?

Chloe: I–I–don’t–

Brady: Yes or no?

Chloe: I don’t know what to think. I mean, you–you were drunk.

Brady: No, no.

Chloe: And you sent those text messages.

Brady: I wasn’t drunk. And I didn’t send messages. If I would have had a drink, I would have remembered it.

Chloe: Are you sure?

Brady: Chlo, I’ve been clean and sober for a long time now. Please believe me. I swear I didn’t do this.

[Monitor beeping] Like pulsing, electric shocks,

Brady: I don’t care if everyone in this town thinks that I’m the reason philip disappeared. I just need to know that you still believe in me. That’s important to me.

Chloe: Well, I–I see the sincerity in your eyes, and I hear it in your voice.

Brady: Okay. That’s–that’s something.

Chloe: The brady black I know would never hurt philip or anyone else.

Brady: I’m still that guy.

Chloe: When you’re sober, absolutely, but I’ve seen what it looks like when you fall off the wagon.

Brady: Chloe, I told you, I didn’t touch a drop. I didn’t touch a drop of anything.

Chloe: Then how did all that alcohol end up in your system?

Brady: I don’t know. I don’t–I don’t know. Someone poured it down my throat, chloe. I don’t know how it got there.

Chloe: Poured it down your throat? Brady, I was married to you. I remember what that looked like. The–the mood swings, the–the blackouts, the rage.

Brady: Hey, I never–I never laid a hand on you. You know that. I never did.

Chloe: I–I know that.

Brady: You know that.

Chloe: I know that, but there were times I was really afraid that you would. You don’t know what it looks like when you’re out of control, when you’re loaded.

Belle: How do you stand working with melinda trask every day? I swear, she is such a bitch.

Shawn: Uh, uh, uh. Do you remember when claire called those mean girls in her class bitches? Who was the one said that no woman should ever call another woman the b-word?

Belle: Okay. So I’m a bad feminist. Sue me.

Shawn: Are you kidding me? And face belle brady in court. No way.

Belle: Smart guy.

Shawn: Yeah. Well, and speaking of court, I really wish you would have told me that you were representing brady before you told trask.

Belle: Come on. He’s my brother. And she was drooling at the idea of arresting him.

Shawn: I know. But you do see how bad things look for him. I mean, philip is missing, the blood on the knife belongs to philip.

Belle: Okay. You know what? You’re starting to sound a little like trask.

Shawn: But I’m not drooling, honey. All right? I just can’t turn a blind eye to the facts. All right, look, if something bad happened to philip, it’s–

Belle: We don’t know that it did.

Shawn: I know. And that’s why we are doing a full grid search of the surrounding area.

Belle: Right. Well, then I need to get to the hospital and let brady know that he has an attorney whether he wants one or not. Are you gonna stay here or go out on the search?

Shawn: Neither one. I, uh, have to go tell my grandfather that his son is missing.

Lucas: I couldn’t believe it. We were in salem not for five seconds, and she couldn’t wait to get back to the dimera house. She couldn’t wait to see that bum.

Kate: Well, I take that she’s looking for a reconciliation.

Lucas: Yeah, I guess so. Something like that.

Kate: Yeah, well, with a man like ej, that’s not going to be easy.

Lucas: That’s what I told her. But she thinks the fact that she got kidnapped is gonna make up for the fact that we slept together.

Kate: Mm. Well, yeah, maybe. Maybe that could happen. But is sami going to be able to forget about what’s happening between nicole and ej?

Lucas: What?

Kate: Oh. You didn’t know?

Sami: So you basically admitted it. He’s only sleeping with you to hurt me.

Ej: She’ll say anything when she’s in fire-breathing mode. You know that, right?

Nicole: Yeah. I do. I know that. God, sami, you have not changed. You’ve been away for a few months now, and you come back here still thinking the world revolves around you. Ej and I are both available and consenting adults. And we made an adult decision to start seeing each other again. And it had nothing to do with you.

Sami: You’re available because my brother finally wised up and decided to dump you. He’s not available. He’s my husband, you bitch.

Nicole: [Groans]

The snapshot app from

progressive rewards you

Lucas: Wait a minute. There’s something going on between nicole and ej?

Kate: Oh, my god. You really have been out of the action, haven’t you?

Lucas: How serious is it? How serious is it between elvis and priscilla?

Kate: Well, I didn’t say it was serious.

Lucas: Just tell me what you know. Please.

Kate: Okay. Okay. I ran into ej’s assistant the other day, and I got her talking. And she let it slip that ej and nicole have been having dinner on a regular basis.

Lucas: No. I cannot believe that. That’s amazing. Ej and nicole. Sami’s gonna lose it. She’s gonna go ballistic. And I absolutely love it.

Nicole: What is this? “Dynasty”?

Ej: Get out, samantha. Or I’ll have you shown off the property.

Sami: Yeah. Actually it is. Let’s take this outside. I think krystal should have a final say with alexis.

Ej: I’m calling security.

Sami: Oh, stop it.

Nicole: Wait. Hang on. Hang on a second. Sami, you do realize this whole situation is your fault. Ej is healthy. You were living here with him. But you couldn’t help yourself, could you? You had to destroy my marriage too.

Sami: What was I supposed to do? Not tell my own brother that you were slutting around with xander cook?

Nicole: If you just minded your own business, I would still be with eric.

Sami: Yeah. Couldn’t do that. Couldn’t let him live a lie.

Nicole: You would still be the mistress of this manor. But no, you couldn’t keep your big mouth shut.

Sami: None of that has anything to do with the fact that you are sleeping with another woman’s husband.

Ej: The only reason I have the misfortune of still being your husband is because you vanished before I could serve you divorce papers.

Sami: You–you filed divorce papers?

Ej: After you cheated on me with that sniveling beta male lucas? Yes. Of course I did. I told you before you skipped town that our marriage was over. But you refused to accept it.

Sami: I didn’t skip town, you pompous ass. I was kidnapped.

Nicole: [Scoffs]

Rafe: So since we’re gonna be christmas tree shopping tomorrow.

Ava: Mm-hmm. I bet I know what’s in that box.

Rafe: Come and see. Come on.

Ava: It’s christmas ornaments, right?

Rafe: Yes.

Ava: Yeah.

Rafe: Most of them old. See, mommy, she insisted on handing down the christmas tree ornaments to me and gabi.

Ava: Wow. They look amazing.

Rafe: Yes. And like I said, they are old.

Ava: [Laughs] That’s really pretty.

Rafe: Yeah, well, we weren’t trying to be cool. It’s just we didn’t have money, and, well, my mom liked it that kids made them too, you know? Wow.

Ava: Oh, look at that. That one’s fun.

Rafe: Oh, yeah. I think gabi made that one actually.

Ava: Oh.

Rafe: Yep.

Ava: Great. Okay, well, show me one that, um, that little rafael made.

Rafe: Well, okay. Let’s–oh, oh. Yeah. There we go. Huh?

Ava: Did you draw that little boy?

Rafe: Yes. It’s a self-portrait actually.

Ava: Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, you’re a very talented artist. I can see the resemblance actually.

Rafe: Thank you. Thank you.

Ava: Mm-hmm.

Rafe: An ornament of myself for the tree, a little egotistical though, huh?

Ava: Most kids are.

Rafe: Yeah. Well, there’s lots of them as you can see.

Ava: It’s fine.

Rafe: But, you know, if you have some, that’d be great too.

Ava: Um, I don’T. I mean, of course, we could afford them in my family. But sometimes they just weren’t exactly in the christmas spirit.

Rafe: Well, that’s too bad.

Ava: Yeah. But I am in the christmas spirit this year.

Rafe: Oh, yeah.

Ava: Yes. What about you?

Rafe: Oh, yes.

Ava: Yeah?

Rafe: Definitely.

Ava: Hey, you know, I wonder if it could have anything to do with us being together.

Rafe: I think it has a lot to do with that.

Ava: Yeah?

Rafe: Yeah. Merry christmas.

Maggie: Victor? Shawn is here. He needs to talk to you.

Victor: Well, I’m always glad to see shawn. But given the late hour and the fact that your wife doesn’t seem to be with you, I take it this is not a social call.

Shawn: No. No, it’s not.

Victor: All right. Give it to me straight. Who is it?

Shawn: Uh, it’s philip.

Victor: What’s he done now?

Shawn: No, it’s not–it’s not that. Look, philip’s missing, grandfather. And with the evidence that we have, we have a reason to believe that he’s a victim of foul play.

Victor: Don’t give me “foul play.” You must suspect somebody. Who?

Shawn: Given the evidence that we have right now, our main suspect is brady.

[Monitor beeping]

Brady: Well, I guess I finally understand why you chose philip over me. After all these years, you still don’t trust me, do you?

Chloe: It’s not that. It’S… I guess it’s just what I saw, what I saw last night, it just–it brought back a lot of bad memories.

Brady: Hmm. I’m sorry about that. You know, you can go. You can go home if you want. You don’t need to stay here with me.

Chloe: Stop. Just stop. Look, it doesn’t matter what I think. I’m not a cop or a lawyer or anyone investigating this. So just stop it. Don’t get all worked up until we know more.

Brady: Don’t you understand it is always gonna matter to me what you think?

Belle: Oh, sorry. I should have knocked.

Brady: No, no, no, belle. It’s okay. Come on in; chloe was just–she was just telling me that she’s still not sure as to whether I did something to philip or not, so… how about you, sis? You think your big brother has it in him to kill someone? Is struggling to manage your type 2 diabetes

Belle: Listen, no one knows if a murder’s even been committed.

Brady: Oh, well, thanks for the glowing vote of confidence there.

Belle: Okay, well, don’t can’t take that attitude if the police come and question you.

Brady: That’s gonna happen?

Belle: I just came from the police station. And yeah, the da tried to talk shawn into arresting you.

Brady: Oh, come on. You can’t be serious.

Belle: I’m completely serious. But I told her I was your lawyer, and I pointed out all the weaknesses in her case and she backed off.

Brady: She backed off? This is insane. This can’t be happening, belle. This is–

Belle: You need to take this completely seriously, okay? The circumstantial evidence against you is accumulating.

Chloe: What do you mean? What evidence?

Belle: You know what, chloe? I’m here as brady’s lawyer. So I’m sorry, I have to ask you to leave.

Brady: No, no, no. No, chloe. You can’t kick her out of my room, okay? Whatever you have to say, I’m fine with her hearing.

Belle: The da could call chloe as a witness.

Brady: If it goes to trial. It won’T. Because I’m innocent.

Belle: Shawn got the results of the comparison between philip’s blood and the blood found on the knife. It’s a match.

Chloe: Oh, my god. Philip?

Victor: So the official police position is that my son was attacked by my grandson?

Shawn: It’s not official.

Victor: Well, then tell me what you know for sure.

Shawn: Well, chloe was the last person to see philip. They were down at the riverbank together. And they have reason to believe that brady had been there.

Victor: What reason?

Shawn: Well, they found his watch on the ground. So chloe left philip to go and find brady. And she didn’t have any luck. And when she returned at the riverbank, philip was gone, and brady was lying on the ground covered in blood. But it wasn’t his blood. And there was a knife that was next to him that had blood on it as well, but it wasn’t brady’s blood. Our labs ended up testing it, and it’s a positive match for philip’S.

Maggie: Oh. I can’t believe what I’m hearing.

Victor: I knew this was going to happen. I just knew it.

Maggie: Oh, victor, you’ve got to keep a cool head for philip’s sake and brady’S.

Shawn: Wait, hold on. What do you mean that you knew this was gonna happen?

Victor: Chloe lane was in the center of this whole thing. I knew that damn tramp would be the death of one of those boys.

Ej: Kidnapped?

Sami: Yes.

Nicole: Please, tell me you are not buying this.

Sami: It’s the truth. I went to rafe’s house to see gabi. I was gonna ask if I could stay in the mansion. But before I could even knock on the door, someone snuck up behind me and attacked me.

Ej: Hmm. And why should I believe you, samantha? Because you’re so forthright and honest? Because you would never think of spinning a far out story to get yourself out of trouble?

Sami: Trouble?

Nicole: Or maybe she was soaking up the sun at some five-star hotel.

Ej: Hmm. On my money.

Sami: Do I look like I have a tan? I don’t believe this. I’m your wife and the mother of your children. And somebody took a rag soaked with chloroform and dragged me off, held me prisoner for three months. And this is how you react?

Ej: I’m afraid so, pet. If you want a more horrified reaction to your tale of woe, I suggest telling lucas horton.

Sami: I did. That’s how I’m even standing here right now.

Ej: What?

Sami: Lucas is the one who rescued me.

Kate: You are alarmingly happy over this whole thing. Please don’t tell me that you have your hopes up for getting back with sami, please.

Lucas: Of all the women in the world, ej has to pick nicole to rebound with? Come on. Sami despises her more than anything. This could really do it, mom. This could really break the spell he has on her.

Kate: Yeah. Okay. And sami could also dig in her heels and fight.

Lucas: Anybody ever tell you you’re a big downer? You know that, right?

Kate: Yeah. Yes. You. Repeatedly. You know, lucas, I–I just don’t want to see you get your hopes up again. I really don’T.

[Phone rings] Victor. I wonder what he wants. Hey, hi. Why are you calling me this time of night? Is everything all right?

Victor: No, I’m afraid it isn’T. Can you come to the house?

Kate: When?

Victor: Now. It’s about our son.

Belle: From now on, brady, you have to be very careful about what you say and do.

Chloe: I had to keep him from leaving here and going to the river.

Belle: Are you out of your mind?

Brady: No. I’m gonna do whatever I have to do to clear my name. Chloe–chloe–chloe has doubts about what I did last night, and I’ve known her forever. So what do you think the cops think? What do you think this whole damn town thinks what happened?

Belle: It doesn’t matter. Forget all of that. Your only job right now is to try to piece together what happened after you left the pub.

Brady: Belle, I’m trying. I can’T. There’s nothing there. It’s blank. I’d call marlena to hypnotize me, but she’s a little busy with her problems right now.

Belle: That is not funny.

Brady: No, it’s not funny. What if they find philip at the bottom of the river? Everybody’s gonna think that I put him there.

Victor: Kate’s on her way over.

Maggie: Dear god. How do we break this to her? It’s–it’s every mother’s nightmare.

Shawn: Look, there’s still hope that philip is out there and he’s alive and well.

Victor: Well, if you believed that, you wouldn’t be dragging the damn river. You think philip’s dead, don’t you?

[Phone rings]

Shawn: Detective brady. Okay. All right. I’m on my way.

Victor: That about philip?

Shawn: The divers have found something.

Maggie: [Sighs]

[“Away in a manger” instrumental playing]

Lucas: Did victor give you any clue about what’s going on?

Kate: No. He just wants me come over right away. And somehow I don’t think it’s because philip’s getting a citizen of the year award, you know?

Lucas: You want me to go with you? Give you a little backup?

Kate: No. Thanks, honey. I think you’ve been through enough today already. You could stay here, though, until roman gets back. You know, it’s his bowling night.

Lucas: I will. No problem. I got it.

Kate: Okay. Thank you. Hey, I’ll let you know– let you know how it goes.

Lucas: Okay. Hey, mom. I’m sure philip is fine.

Kate: Yeah. No. I am–I’m sure he’s fine too. See you later.

Ej: You were being held prisoner and you called lucas?

Sami: No. I called allie. And lucas happened to be standing there. And he helped me figure out where I was, and he came and rescued me.

Nicole: How chivalrous of him.

Sami: Shut your mouth or i will shut it for you.

Ej: You never called me to say you were kidnapped.

Sami: I did call you, ej. Of course I called you. But your phone was dead. Maybe too much sexting with nicole.

Ej: All right. Fine. Let’s just say you were kidnapped. Why was there no ransom demand? Who would want the aggravation of holding you captive against your will unless there was money to be made?

Sami: We’re looking at her.

Nicole: What? You think I had you kidnapped?

Sami: Well, you got me out of the way so you could have your chance with ej.

Nicole: Oh. Okay. You know what? I have had enough. Why don’t you call me if and when you get this nutjob out of your life. Okay?

Ej: You only have one shoe on.

Nicole: Yeah. I’ll hop to the car if I have to.

Sami: Oh, no. You are not going anywhere until I’m through with you.

Nicole: Oh, sami. You know what? I wasn’t gonna stoop to your level. But then I thought, “why not?”

Ej: Tt’s enough. That’s enough. Samantha, you are not wanted here. This is no longer your house.

Sami: I was kidnapped. And you’re not letting me stay?

Ej: I will throw you out myself if I have to.

Sami: This isn’t over. Not by a long shot. Why give your family just ordinary eggs

Ava: So did you mean what you said before?

Rafe: Uh, what did I say?

Ava: Well, about you being in the christmas spirit. Cheers. Because we’re together this year.

Rafe: Why would you doubt that I meant that?

Ava: You know, I’m just–guess I’m feeling insecure, feeling that I’m not worthy of somebody as wonderful as you.

Rafe: Hey. Don’t you say that.

Ava: But you know how it goes, right? The more you care about someone the harder it is to be cool, and then you’re even more needy, and then you just want the reassurance that the other person feels the same way. Idiot.

Rafe: Okay. Hold on. I think I may know a way to reassure you.

Ava: Oh, yeah?

Rafe: Yeah.

Ava: Mm? Mmm. Hmm.

Rafe: Mm?

Ava: Yeah. That actually might be working.

Rafe: Okay.

Ava: But I think maybe you could try just a little harder.

Rafe: Well, that’s definitely worth a try.

Ava: Mm.

Ava: Mmm.

Nicole: Where’s my other shoe?

Ej: Nicole.

Nicole: Oh.

Ej: Allow me.

Nicole: Thanks. I’d say I feel like cinderella. But she didn’t have to bitch slap prince charming’s ex-wife to get her to leave when she found me and the prince in bed.

Ej: Did that upset you?

Nicole: [Scoffs] Well, it wasn’t my finest moment.

Ej: You know, you don’t have to leave.

Nicole: Yes, I do. It was fun while it lasted, ej, but–

Ej: But what? Samantha being back changes nothing.

Nicole: It changes everything, and you know it.

Ej: Not where you and i are concerned.

Nicole: But what if–what if sami was telling the truth and she was kidnapped?

Ej: Then for the sake of our children, I’m glad lucas brought her back safely. And as far as you and i are concerned, samantha is still in my past. And you are my future.

Sami: Daddy? Oh, daddy, I could use a cup of chowder and someone to talk to.

Lucas: Oh. Will I do?

Maggie: Would you, um, like anything, kate? A cup of tea?

Kate: Uh, no.

Victor: A drink?

Kate: A drink? No, thank you. Look, I’m here. So why don’t you just tell me what the emergency is?

Victor: I think you should sit down.

Kate: I–no, I don’t want to sit down. People only ask you to sit down when there’s bad news, victor. So just tell me. Was philip arrested?

Victor: No, it’s nothing like that. He’s missing, kate. And the police suspect foul play. They think someone may have hurt our boy…or worse.

[Monitor beeping]

Belle: The best thing that you can do right now is just stay here in the hospital and get better. Okay? We’ll leave the investigating to the police. And I’ll start putting your defense together.

Brady: Thank you. Thank you for getting here so quickly. Thank you for everything. I owe you.

Belle: Oh, yeah, you do. Just wait until you get my bill.

Chloe: [Laughs]

Brady: [Mumbles].

[Phone beeps]

Belle: Oh, um… shawn said the divers found something in the river.

Chloe: Oh, my god. Philip?

Melinda: What do you have for me?

Shawn: You’re about to find out.

Melinda: Good god, what is that?

Shawn: It’s a prosthetic leg. The only person I know that needs one of those is philip kiriakis.
