Billy: I wanted to personally thank you for that text message that you sent to lily congratulating her on her new position at Chancellor Industries.

Adam: Yeah. I understand that there’s another round of kudos I should bestow. Heard you were just named COO.

Billy: That is correct, yes. I didn’t get a text message from you.

Adam: Mm.

Billy: Seriously, though, thank you very much for reaching out to Lily in that way. It’s appreciated. You can’t imagine how surprised I was when I heard you did so.

Adam: Oh, I’m sure I can.

Billy: No. Trust me. You can’t.

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

Billy: Welcome to your new office, madam CEO.

Lily: Thank you. Same office I had when I was running ChanceCom.

Billy: Yeah, that’s true. It’s a little bit different, you know. Thanks to Nick and my wheeling, dealing mother, you now have the entire building, not just this floor.

Lily: I know. Well, it’s nice. I kind of like it. Nice to have something familiar when there’s been so many changes.

[ Gasps ] Aww. Flowers and liquor?

Billy: Don’t look at me.

Lily: No? Oh, it’s from Jill congratulating us on our first day. The scotch is for you, of course.

Billy: Well, she knows me well.

Lily: “I believe in you both and know that you will accomplish great things. Now go kick some ass. Jill.”

Billy: That’s my mother for you. We better listen to the lady and enjoy this last moment of peace we will have in these hallowed halls.

Lily: Very sweet. It is weird, though, coming back to an old office to start a new job, right?

Billy: Yeah. It’s like returning to the scene of a crime.

Lily: Well, I got to say, we did some great things here.

Billy: And in the copy room. Do not forget the copy room.

Lily: No, I could never forget the copy room.

Rey: Ooh! We should do that more often.

Sharon: Yes, absolutely. Thank you for braving the museum with me.

Rey: Are you kidding? I loved it. Besides, I figured I should learn more about art since noah’s living here now. Although none of those paintings were as beautiful as you are.

Sharon: Aww.

Rey: [ Chuckles ]

Sharon: Oh, hey, Nick.

Nick: Hey.

Sharon: What are you doing here?

Nick: You guys look like you’re in a pretty good mood.

Rey: We are.

Sharon: Having some French food, walking through a museum — it can do wonders for your mind-set.

Nick: Well, don’t mind me. I’m just sitting here minding my own business, waiting for Noah.

Sharon: Oh. What are you two meeting about? The job offer?

Nick: Hey.

Noah: Hey.

Sharon: Oh, great. Now both of you can fill us in.

Noah: On what?

Sharon: On what you’re meeting with your dad about.

Noah: Well, first off, nosy. Secondly, I think I need to talk to dad in private for a sec.

Sharon: Okay. No problem.

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

what’s going down out there.

Sharon: Nope. I already know. Noah accepted Nick’s offer.

Rey: You could hear that from in here?

Sharon: I can tell by the look on Noah’s face. I’m happy he and Nick are bonding like that. It means that Noah’s gonna stick around, hopefully for a very long time. It just feels like life is exactly the way that it should be.

Lily: Ah, this is exactly what I needed.

Billy: [ Chuckles ]

Lily: I’ve just been throwing myself into work so much trying to get ready for the big day, i didn’t realize how tense I was.

Billy: Well, I’m glad I could help you relax.

Lily: So, now can I ask questions?

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

Billy: Well, first and foremost, I apologized, and i also confessed about my ill-fated plan to get back at victor and Adam for everything they did to us. I was also very clear that my change of heart came because of your guidance, and she was very grateful for that. She honestly believes that you are my guardian angel.

Lily: Well, I appreciate the credit, but I do think that you’re underselling the strength it took to turn the other cheek to the Newmans.

Billy: Mm.

Lily: So, just tell me — did your mom accept your apology?

Billy: My mother and I making up usually involves a bone-crushing hug while she calls me an idiot. So, by that definition… yeah, we healed.

Lily: So, are you coming to Chancellor as COO?

Billy: Yes.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Billy: I am your COO, with, of course, my mother’s blessing.

Lily: Ooh, good, I’m so glad!

Interview with Tatyana Ali, Justin Bruening, Carolyn Hennesy and Treach

Posted on by TvMegasite Admin

TV Interview!

Lifetime panel

Interview with Tatyana Ali, Justin Bruening, Carolyn Hennesy and Treach of “Vanished: Searching For My Sister” on Lifetime by Suzanne 1/10/22

This was an intriguing movie with many different actors. The panel was for Lifetime with quite a few panels that day. This was the only one where I didn’t get to ask a question. It’s okay, though. There were many great questions asked. I enjoyed seeing this great cast. Jasmine Guy is also in the movie, and she’s fabulous. I was just happy to see Justin Bruening again (as he was great as Jamie on “All My Children“) and Carolyn Hennesy (she plays Diane on “General Hospital“).  Tatyana does a fine job with her dual role as sisters Kayla and Jada. Also, I didn’t know that “Treach” was the leader of the rap group Naughty By Nature. Please also see my one-on-one interview with Carolyn Hennesy!

MODERATOR: Hi, everyone. Welcome to our “Vanished: Searching For My Sister” panel. Today we have Tatyana Ali, Justin Bruening, Carolyn Hennesy and Treach. Thank you guys all for being here.

CAROLYN HENNESY: Thank you.

MODERATOR: Our first question is an email question, and it comes in asking for the entire cast how was this movie standout compared to other projects that you’ve all acted in?

TREACH: Well, for me, I had the honor of working with a legend like Tatyana right there. I’ve grown up, I was watching her. You know the history so just to have the pleasure of getting on there is really when you know Jasmine Guy and Justin, these great actors, you got to understand you’ve got to really come here prepared, because they are legendary these guys here. So it was just a whole different vibe with just knowing that you were in great hands. You know when you step on a set with production and everything, you see how it’s rolling you’re like, yeah, this is one of them right here.

CAROLYN HENNESY: Well, for me, it was really cold in Atlanta, so there was that. My trailer had no heat so that was fun, but it was all the more exciting to get inside when we did have those scenes inside. Yay! And be able to work with Tatyana, and Tatyana on this panel is the only one that I worked with, because my scenes were with her and Jasmine pretty much primarily. And so Jasmine’s just everything you would expect her to be. She’s a hoot-and-a-half, and she’s so, she’s a consummate professional as is Tatyana, but Tatyana was not quite as funny, because she was threatened with she’s going to be killed at any moment, her character. So she was very, very serious, and we were kind of coming at her with don’t do what we all know you’re going to do and that is double as your sister. So it was really a tremendous amount of fun to keep it fun and light on the set, and then when the cameras rolled we were just in it, but I was pretty much cold all the time, so that was me.

(Laughter.)

Tatyana Ali as Kayla, pretending to be JadaJUSTIN BRUENING: I didn’t have that problem but working with Tatyana was amazing. Watching her transform into two different, entirely different people was just phenomenal. I mean, there was even a moment when she did her whole transformation into Kayla, and we were sitting across from each other, and like we had on masks on and stuff, but I didn’t know it was her, because I’d never seen her. I mean, I just worked with her twenty minutes before that, and I was like sitting across from this woman. I’m like, “Who’s that?”

(Laughter.)

JUSTIN BRUENING: “They just let anybody in on this set. It’s just strange.”

TATYANA ALI: I remember that. We had such a rapport during the whole shoot, and I was like, “Wow, is he having a bad day? Like what, why are you staring at me that way?”

JUSTIN BRUENING: I’m shy. I was shy. I didn’t know who that was. It’s a new person. Nobody introduced me. I felt bad. Yeah, it was great.

TATYANA ALI: For me, what was different about this one, the cast is so amazing, and the crew, and I just had an incredible time working with everybody. Treach, there was a point when it was one of the scenes in the trailer when you kind of grip me up in the club, and I don’t even know if you noticed, but I had to take a moment afterwards, because you are scary. When you want to be. You’re so like kind and wonderful, and you just scared the bejesus out of me, like, for real. Yeah, just working with everybody was amazing. Especially, I was so excited when I read the script, like the fact that it’s based on a true story and that this really happened, that a woman really went undercover as her twin. All of that was so exciting. I love the notion of not allowing your loved one to remain a statistic or not be cared about; that someone would fight so hard to make sure that her sister, who has been through addiction, been through all these things, that her life mattered. I really loved that and so into it, and then right before I started working I was like, “Oh, my God. What did I get myself into?” But y’all saved me, so thank you.

(Laughter.)

MODERATOR: Thank you, everybody. Our next question is from Rick Bentley.

QUESTION: Thank you very much. Tatyana, do actors when they start their career think, “Oh, boy. I hope one day I get to play a twin?” Or “Oh, my God. I hope I don’t ever have to play a twin?”

Kayla (Tatyana Ali) and her ex-husband, played by Phillip Mullings, Jr.TATYANA ALI: (laughs) Maybe, “Oh, my God. I don’t ever have to play — I hope I don’t ever have to play a twin.” I, actually, no, it was really a wonderful sort of like experiment, and especially in the kind of truncated schedule that we have there were days when I went back and forth between the sisters, and it can make you feel a little bit crazy. Like our makeup and hair department and costumes, they were really like a refuge for me on those days. But it’s fun. You kind of have to use literally like everything you know or think you know or might guess at to, not just create two people, but then also a relationship, the relationship between them, the history between them. That was really fun, actually. It’s kind of like you might not hope to do it, but it could be a dream to be able to do it.

QUESTION: A quick follow-up. Did you color code your script or did you put markers to who you were for the day?

TATYANA ALI: I’m super anal. I always color code my script even if it’s one person.

(Laughter.)

TATYANA ALI: So, yeah, I keep a binder. I’m not at the iPad script yet phase —

JUSTIN BRUENING: Yeah.

QUESTION: Thank you very much.

MODERATOR: Thanks, Rick. Our next question is from “Right On! Digital.”

QUESTION: Hello? Can you hear me?

TATYANA ALI: Hi.

TREACH: Hi.

JUSTIN BRUENING: Hi.

QUESTION: Okay. Hi. My question is for Tatyana. We’ve known about your work for years, and we’ve publicized you many times in “Right On! Magazine.” You talked about the fact that it can make you a little crazy playing two characters in one. What was it like actually preparing for a role where you’re actually playing two people, because that’s an enormous amount of responsibility to have that much dialogue. So what was your secret to actually preparing?

TATYANA ALI: Just, you know, it’s similar to the way I prepare for just playing one role except you just double it. They both have their, they’re sisters, so they have their shared pasts, and they’re sisters, so they also have things that only the two of them know that the rest of the world don’t know. They both have their own wishes and desires and hopes and dreams, and so it’s all it’s the same, it’s just more. And so even with when I was kind of prepping for it and doing my own rehearsals like I just tried to kind of schedule the time, so there’d be like days working on one, and then days working on the other so I didn’t have to get confused. And then their style, like, for me, once I start, once I am in their hair, in their clothes, and then all of the things, their walk or their body language, all those things that I tried to –I always work on those things but just with twins it’s like I was trying to differentiate them a little bit more, but once all those pieces come together then it’s kind of like they kind of, it meets somewhere. I felt that I guess that’s how it happened.

(Laughter.)

QUESTION: All right. Well, thank you. Hi, Treach.

TREACH: Hello.

QUESTION: And one —

MODERATOR: And — Oh, sorry.

QUESTION: May I ask Treach a question while we have him?

MODERATOR: Of course.

QUESTION: Okay. Treach, hi.

TREACH: Hello.

QUESTION: Cynthia from “Right On! Magazine.” What was it like on the set? Is there a fun fact you can tell us about, something that we wouldn’t know because we weren’t there?

TREACH: Yeah. I mean, there’s certain times you get into stuff, like you’ll have a scene. Like, for instance, I was rolling upon a motorcycle. I’m not even half good on a pedal bike.

(Laughter.)

TREACH: So I got to really show my acting skills. I had to find, okay, the clutch and when I do should I look (audio glitch @ 00:38:07), but I know people that ride motorcycles and stuff, so I had to do what I knew they do without doing nothing.

(Laughter.)

TATYANA ALI: You look good on that bike.

TREACH: Thank you. But the movie magic makes things happen. So I know, like, certain, like I said, it was certain things that I naturally don’t do at all. When I do a movie it’s so fun to me because I got to really make sure they think I know what I’m doing.

QUESTION: Okay. Thank you.

TREACH: You’re welcome.

MODERATOR: Thank you. Our next question is from Abbie Bernstein.

QUESTION: Sorry. It took me a second to find my unmute. Good morning. Thank you all for doing this. Question for anybody or everybody who’d like to take it. Is there any difference between doing a Lifetime thriller and a different network or an indie film with thriller subject matter and the same schedule and budget? Is there anything specific to working for Lifetime?

CAROLYN HENNESY: There’s a lot more blood on an independent.

(Laughter.)

JUSTIN BRUENING: Yeah.

CAROLYN HENNESY: It’s the truth. It’s the absolute truth.

JUSTIN BRUENING: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

CAROLYN HENNESY: And the things you can get away with on an independent thriller, um hm. Yeah, the Lifetime audience would pass on that, so.

JUSTIN BRUENING: Yeah.

CAROLYN HENNESY: But (audio glitch @ 00:39:33).

QUESTION: Is there —

TREACH: You know, for this type of movie, like, everyone goes to Lifetime to watch these types of movies, but the masses, one thing that’s beautiful about Lifetime, the masses is going to tune in.

CAROLYN HENNESY: Yeah.

TREACH: They have a long list of anything that like what comes on Lifetime I’m here. So it’s just a honor to be on Lifetime, because you know that following, that cult following is goin’ be there for you.

Justin Bruening and Tatyana AliJUSTIN BRUENING: Well —

QUESTION: Is there any — Oh, sorry.

JUSTIN BRUENING: I was going to say that’s a tough question, because I think our Director Tim Woodward sort of filmed it like an independent, like I think he went for that.

CAROLYN HENNESY: True.

JUSTIN BRUENING: So I think there’s some stuff that ended up on the cutting room floor, speaking of blood.

(Laughter.)

JUSTIN BRUENING: There was a little bit, but — a lot — but, yeah, I mean, I think that — I think he really — that I think he set that as his benchmark, and he went for that, but I think that we had to tone it down for Lifetime, for that audience, but I think we filmed it the same way we would film an independent film.

TATYANA ALI: Yeah. I’ve worked with Lifetime many times now, and I always feel really supported by the network and by the executives. That’s always a really good feeling, and they stay in communication while you’re filming and that’s awesome but to also know, it’s true, there’s this very wide audience, and there’s something about Lifetime. Like I always think about my cousins and my family because I know they’re going to be watching it. Like I can’t, I got to make them proud. Like they are (audio glitch @ 00:41:09), everyone’s going to be texting me while it’s on, and there’s something about that that’s actually really special.

CAROLYN HENNESY: I think also with it being Lifetime — very often in an independent you don’t get the justice that you want at the end. Things are left unresolved, and sometimes you can leave the theater or whatever you’re viewing it on unsatisfied, that’s not going to happen with a Lifetime thriller. Things are going to be wrapped up. Everyone’s going to be happy and vindicated, and you’re going to end up being thrilled during the movie, but all will be well at the end pretty much, or maybe not this with this one. I don’t know —

QUESTION: Does it affect your performances in any way?

CAROLYN HENNESY: Say that again?

QUESTION: I’m sorry. Does it affect your performances in any way either knowing there isn’t going to be that much blood or that everything is going to be resolved at the end? Do you play with more fervor and less frustration? Or do you perform it the same way you would perform a more ambiguously ended material?

CAROLYN HENNESY: Whatever is honest for the character is how you go.

JUSTIN BRUENING: Um-hm.

CAROLYN HENNESY: So it doesn’t matter if it’s a soap opera.

TATYANA ALI: That’s right.

CAROLYN HENNESY: Or a Lifetime or a Darren Bousman “Saw” franchise films. It’s all, for me, for me. I mean —

JUSTIN BRUENING: Yeah, I agree with that.

TATYANA ALI: Yeah, ditto.

QUESTION: Thank you very much.

TREACH: You’re welcome.

MODERATOR: Thank you. Our next question is from Luaine Lee.

QUESTION: Tatyana, which twin was more difficult to play and why?

TATYANA ALI: Huh, you know, I guess I would have to say Jada, because I certainly get to play her more, but often during the film, and it sometimes led to a little bit of confusion when we were filming, I spent a lot of time playing — I spent a lot of time — I’m sorry. Did I leave? I spent a lot of time playing Jada pretending to be Kayla, and those were probably the most challenging parts, playing someone you love, kind of Jada putting on Kayla’s wigs, going out into Kayla’s world which, you know, she’s heard of but never really participated in, just the longing to know what’s happened to her sister and to find her. I think Jada pretending to be Kayla was the most challenging, for sure.

QUESTION: Were you scared to do it?

TATYANA ALI: I was excited at first and then as I got closer and closer, yeah, I was scared, but that, I’ve come to learn that that’s — If I’m not intimidated by what I’m trying to do then I’m almost like not that excited about it, so nerves to me are like a good sign that I’m stretching myself. So, yeah, I was.

QUESTION: Thanks.

MODERATOR: Thank you. We have time for one more question and that’s going to be from Noah Wilson.

QUESTION: Hello, everyone. It’s so great to be here with you guys. Tatyana, I do want to ask you, taking on two roles could you ever see yourself doing it again?

TATYANA ALI: (laughs) I had a lot of fun doing it. I would love to do it on a project where we had more time. It was hard to switch on the same day. That was really hard to go back and forth on the same day, and when I was prepping for it I saw a lot of films where actors played multiple characters and twins and sisters and even read a lot of interviews of the process, but we had three weeks, so. I would. I would try it again. I thought it was — I was exhausted when it was done, but it was thrilling, and I really liked playing a character like Kayla, even for the short period of time that I do in the film. I’ve never really, I’ve never been able, given the chance to play somebody like her, and she really stole my heart.

QUESTION: Yes. Well, I enjoyed you in “A Picture Perfect Holiday” and I cannot wait to see you in “Vanished: Searching For My Sister.” Thank you so much, guys.

CAROLYN HENNESY: Thank you.

TREACH: Thank you.

JUSTIN BRUENING: Thank you.

MODERATOR: Thank you so much to all the panelists and everyone that attended. Please tune in to “Vanished: Searching For My Sister” on January 22nd at 8/7 Central. Thanks you guys.

TATYANA ALI: Love you, guys. Good to see.

TREACH: Thank you.

CAROLYN HENNESY: You too, honey.

JUSTIN BRUENING: Thank you.

TREACH: Love y’all. Peace.

TATYANA ALI: Bye.

JUSTIN BRUENING: Happy 2022!

Check out our one-on-one interview with Carolyn Hennesy!

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Xander enters the Kiriakis Mansion and is shocked to see “Sarah” with Maggie. Xander can’t believe she is there and says thank God she’s alright as he grabs her and hugs her while Maggie smiles.

Abigail remains at the Brady Pub as Kate walks in. Abigail greets her and senses something is wrong, so she asks if she got bad news about Philip. Kate says there’s nothing on that front. Kate asks Abigail if she’s ever gone about her business and suddenly found herself face to face with two of the people you despise the most in the world. Abigail says it hasn’t happened in awhile and asks if she knows these people. Kate confirms they definitely damaged her life so Abigail correctly guesses she means Jake and Gabi.

Gabi and Jake walk through the town square as Jake thanks Gabi for saving his life by pulling him out of the way or else Kate would have walked right through him. Gabi brings up Jake dumping Kate and tells him to watch out because she might still have the hots for him. Jake then brings up Johnny having the hots for Gabi.

Devil Johnny sits at the chess table in the DiMera Mansion. The Devil remarks that EJ had to be sacrificed for the greater evil.

EJ’s trial continues in the court room. Judge Barnes asks Melinda if Jason Smith was her last witness. EJ complains that his testimony should be stricken from the record. The judge warns EJ about having another outburst. Melinda presents the judge with a sworn deposition from Sami. He notes that it’s unfortunate that Sami didn’t testify in person. Belle argues that means she had no chance to cross examine. Melinda explains that Sami didn’t feel safe enough to be present with her kidnapper. Melinda declares that the prosecution rests.

Abigail knows how much Jake and Gabi hurt Kate, but says it all worked out for the best since Kate is with Roman now. Kate admits that she is happy. Abigail says that all is well that ends well. Kate remarks that Hortons always say that. Kate adds that she obviously doesn’t forgive betrayal as easily as Abigail does. Abigail points out that Kate got even by voting with EJ and Chad to fire Jake from DiMera. Kate asks what Abigail is doing here anyways and not covering EJ’s trial. Abigail informs her that she’s actually working on another story about her cousin, Sarah. Kate asks what’s up with Sarah and why she acted like she was with Rex this whole time. Abigail says that’s what she is trying to find out as she promised Maggie since she’s really worried after not knowing where her daughter was for the past year. Abigail adds that Xander is really upset too so they are working together. Kate calls that quite an odd couple. Abigail says they have one very important thing in common in that they both care about Sarah and are very determined to find out where she has been.

“Sarah” pushes Xander off of her and calls him a creep. Maggie argues that Xander has been as worried about her as she was. “Sarah” says that Xander can see that she’s fine so he can go back where he came from. Xander refuses to budge until they talk. “Sarah” says this is why she didn’t want anyone to know where she was so Xander couldn’t come drag her back to his cave. Maggie knows she changed her mind about marrying Xander but also that she was very in love with him at one time and he was terribly distraught when she left, so the least she can do is give him ten minutes of her time. “Sarah” agrees to ten minutes. Xander asks Maggie if they can have that ten minutes alone. Maggie suggests they talk about this in the hall and takes Xander out of the room. Gwen tells herself to keep it together as she fooled Maggie, so she can fool Xander too.

Chad enters the living room of the DiMera Mansion and pours a drink as he greets Johnny and asks what he’s up to. Johnny says he was just playing chess against himself and asks if he knows what happened to Stefano’s chess set. Chad responds that he replaced it with one that Abigail bought and says it’s great. Johnny questions Chad not thinking that’s disrespectful. Chad calls it a game. Johnny argues that it’s part of who Stefano was. Chad talks about not finding out that Stefano was his father until he was in college, so he didn’t grow up hearing about the whole legacy thing like he did. Johnny asks if that’s why Chad had no problem selling EJ down the river in court.

Judge Barnes asks if the defense is prepared to present it’s case. Belle complains that they were not offered the opportunity to cross-examine Sami while her deposition offered no direct evidence between EJ and the kidnapping. The judge agrees to take that under advisement. Belle thanks him and contends that the prosecution failed to make a case against EJ, so she requests the case be dismissed for lack of evidence. Belle confirms she’s not calling any witnesses but EJ stands up and declares that he will be testifying. Belle says she needs a moment with her client so the judge tells her to make it brief. Belle turns to EJ and asks if he’s out of his mind. EJ argues that Jason Smith said under oath that he was taking orders from him and then Chad’s testimony needs to be reviewed. EJ says that if he can’t sway the judge, then he’s going to find him guilty. Belle warns EJ that if he testifies, Melinda will cross-examine him and she will bring up every terrible thing he has ever done. EJ insists that he needs to testify on his own behalf. Belle advises him not to do that. Melinda asks if they can get on with this. Judge Barnes asks if they’ve reached a decision. Belle responds that they have and calls EJ to the stand.

Chad tells Johnny that EJ swore to him that he was innocent and he believed him but then he found out that every word out of EJ’s mouth is a damn lie because he forced himself on his wife in the witness room at the courthouse which he walked in on. Johnny thinks back to that moment and suggests maybe it wasn’t what it seemed and the feeling was mutual. Chad says there’s no chance as Abigail was sick to her stomach. Johnny brings up Abigail and EJ’s previous affair. Chad assures that he hasn’t forgotten about that but yesterday was all EJ and it made him realize that EJ has been playing him on every level since he got back.

Jake can’t believe Johnny hit on Gabi. Gabi says guys hit on her all the time. Jake complains that Johnny did it right in front of him. Gabi wants to figure out how to use it to their advantage since Johnny has EJ’s shares and is a heavy hitter now. Jake agrees that it gives them leverage to get Victor on the DiMera board. Gabi says they will cruise their way to a double takeover where Jake runs DiMera and she’ll run Titan. Jake says she makes it sound easy. Gabi points out that Maggie is behind them which Jake is still surprised by. Gabi explains that Maggie wants Victor to slow down, so she won’t stand in the way of a good idea.

Maggie and Xander return to the living room. Maggie decides to let Xander and “Sarah” speak privately. She questions leaving her alone with him. Maggie says she has to speak with Henderson about getting her room ready but “Sarah” says she’s not staying as she got a room at the Salem Inn and then has a flight later today. Maggie points out that she just got here. “Sarah” responds that her patients need her. Maggie questions where she’s working and living. “Sarah” doesn’t want to say in front of Xander and says she came back so Maggie wouldn’t worry and now she doesn’t have to. Maggie starts to cry as she realizes this is goodbye. Maggie orders “Sarah” to call her regularly from now on a she hugs her. Maggie then exits the room. Xander questions “Sarah” not spending one more day with Maggie when she misses her so much. “Sarah” remarks that Xander is only thinking of himself. Xander says that’s not true. “Sarah” tells him to just say what he came to say. Xander brings up when Sarah left him that day and says she sounded like a woman he didn’t even know and she still does. Xander questions why that is.

Jake asks Gabi how she thinks they are going to get Johnny on their side. Gabi says she’ll flirt with him and make him think she has the hots for him too. Jake says no way but Gabi insists that she’ll have him wrapped around her finger before he knows it and then she will be calling the shots. Jake questions if Gabi is saying that she’s going to sleep with Johnny to get his vote.

Chad tells Johnny that he’s telling him the truth about EJ. Johnny knows it isn’t the first time EJ crossed a line he shouldn’t have crossed. Chad adds that Abigail had to push him off of her. Johnny apologizes for saying that about Chad and Abigail as he knows they love each other very much and he shouldn’t have implied that Abigail was fine with what EJ was doing. Chad says it’s fine as long as he doesn’t still think that. Johnny says EJ had him thinking he was the real victim here. Johnny adds that EJ told him that Lucas kidnapped Sami and Chad was framing him for it. Johnny guesses EJ wasn’t just lying to Chad, but to him too.

Belle asks EJ if he had Sami kidnapped. EJ says he did not. Belle reminds him that he’s under oath which EJ says he is aware of. Belle asks EJ to tell the court about the day Sami went missing. EJ recalls confronting Sami with evidence that she had been cheating on him and she denied it at first but then she admitted it. EJ admits he was angry and couldn’t see past her betrayal, but she’s the mother of his children, so no matter what she did to him, he never would’ve made her his prisoner or separated her from her children. Belle decides there are no further questions. Judge Barnes then calls upon Melinda. Melinda brings up EJ swearing that he would never chloroform his wife or separate her from her children. Melinda asks if it slipped his mind that he’s already done both of those things.

“Sarah” tells Xander that she’s the same person she always was but Xander says something is off. Xander brings up kissing her goodnight on the day before their wedding and she told him how much she loved him, but by the morning, she was with Rex. “Sarah” claims that she came to her senses and Rex happened to be there. Xander brings up how she told everyone that she was running off with Rex, but she didn’t, and she turned on him too. “Sarah” says she realized she’s in no shape to be with any man, so she told Rex that she needed time to figure herself out on her own. Xander argues that she lied to Maggie too. “Sarah” says she wanted to be alone and was afraid that Maggie would tell Xander where she was since she was trying to avoid this. Xander questions her hating her now. “Sarah” brings up how Xander switched her and Kristen’s babies. Xander says it took time, but she got past that. “Sarah” claims she only said she did and wanted it to be true, but no mother can ever get over something like that. She asks why he can’t get that through his head.

Abigail tells Kate about Ned flying Sarah out of town on a DiMera jet but he won’t tell them more unless they pay him off. Kate questions how someone like Sarah could commandeer a DiMera plane. Abigail explains that Ned was freelancing and had access to an old DiMera jet. Abigail mentions that Xander did suspect that Kristen had something to do with Sarah disappearing but he dismissed it. Kate questions why he would do that when it’s exactly what Kristen did to her. Abigail says that Xander mentioned that recently and talks about how Kristen pretended to be Susan to trick Kate in to leaving town. Kate explains how Vivian ordered Kristen to break up her and Jake, so she pretended to be Susan, but she found out and then Kristen knocked her out and stuck her in the tunnels. Kate adds that Kristen put on her Kate mask to break up with Jake. Kate calls Jake an idiot for falling for that when they were perfectly happy and going on vacation. Kate says that Kristen stuffed her in a giant suitcase to ship her out of town. Abigail recalls Ned mentioning “Sarah” having a large suitcase as well. Abigail questions how Kate managed to escape. Maggie then enters the Pub and greets them. Abigail asks where Xander is and if she brought the money. Maggie questions what money. Abigail explains that they found the pilot who flew Sarah out of town but he won’t talk unless they pay him off, so Xander was going to see if Maggie would put up the cash. Maggie reveals that Xander never got around to that because he’s now with “Sarah” at the moment.

“Sarah” complains about what Xander and Victor did to her and Kristen. Xander brings up Kristen being the one who told him about Sarah and Rex. Xander asks if Kristen got to her and talked her in to walking out on him. “Sarah” calls that her decision and says now that she answered his questions, she has to go check out at the Salem Inn. Xander questions how long she’s going to disappear for this time. “Sarah” calls it none of his business. Xander points out that she didn’t even say goodbye to Maggie and asks if she doesn’t care that she’s breaking her heart. “Sarah” claims that she came back to put Maggie’s mind at ease. Xander brings up “Sarah’s” half sister dying last year and how Maggie had to go through that without her. “Sarah” says she will do better with keeping in touch and tells Xander to quit obsessing over her and move on with his life. “Sarah” tells him to go be with Gwen. Xander then questions how she knew that he’s with Gwen.

Johnny tells Chad that it seems pretty clear that he needs to rethink his relationship with EJ. Johnny brings up EJ giving him control of his shares in the company. Johnny admits the original plan was to combine their shares to stop Chad from derailing EJ’s agenda. Chad asks if he’s still thinking about that. Johnny responds that maybe he lined up with the wrong guy and maybe he should be working with Chad.

Melinda brings up EJ chloroforming Sami so he could leave the country with his children. EJ explains that he believed his children were in danger and calls it a tense situation as Sami shot him in the head and left him to die. Melinda asks if they’ve always had such a violent relationship. Melinda asks EJ again if he chloroformed his wife. EJ says he was trying to protect his children and calls it an act of love, not revenge. Melinda argues that EJ turned to chloroform before and asks him to tell the court about the first time he chloroformed his wife and kidnapped her.

Gabi tells Jake to stop acting like a jealous idiot and assures that she’s not going to sleep with Johnny. Jake asks what she’s going to do then. Gabi says she will lead him on like she did with Stefan to get control of the company. Jake points out that she ended up in bed and in love with Stefan. Gabi insists that she’s with Jake now, the love of her life, not some kid in Johnny. Gabi decides she’s going to the DiMera Mansion to feel Johnny out. Jake feels anxious but Gabi assures that she’s got this.

Johnny tells Chad that if EJ goes to prison, it will be a disaster for DiMera. Chad bets that Gabi and Jake will try to make a power play. Johnny says that’s why they should start working together and asks what Chad says. Chad is all for alliances but he doesn’t want to get burned again. Johnny questions Chad not trusting him. Chad says trust has to be earned and he barely knows him. Chad remarks that the closest Johnny has come to running DiMera is sitting on his dad’s lap. Johnny assures that he’s going to prove himself. Chad says he better as he finishes his drink and exits. The Devil remarks that he can’t blame Chad for being cautious since he was just about to make a deal with the Devil.

EJ says he has no idea what Melinda is talking about. Melinda talks about EJ chloroforming a pregnant Sami and brought her to a warehouse where his brother Andre was waiting to extract stem cells from his unborn child. Melinda questions that slipping his memory. EJ invokes his rights under the fifth amendment which Melinda calls his first smart move and says there are no further questions. Belle decides to redirect. Belle says no matter what may or may not have happened in the past, they are talking about August 11. Belle asks if EJ ordered Sami be kidnapped on that date. Melinda argues that the question was already asked and answered. Belle says no further questions, so the judge allows EJ to step down. Belle tells EJ that she tried to tell him and declares that the defense rests. Judge Barnes announces they will move on to closing arguments.

Abigail can’t believe after all this time that Sarah would just show up out of the blue. Maggie can’t believe it either. Abigail asks if she’s okay. Maggie says she seems a bit distant but otherwise fine. Kate remarks that she’s glad breaking Rex’s heart isn’t weighing too heavily on her. Abigail asks if Sarah said anything about where she has been all this time. Maggie says she won’t tell her and she couldn’t press the issue because Xander showed up and wanted to talk to her alone. Abigail suggests she can get answers when she goes back, but Maggie is not sure she will still be there since “Sarah” told her that she is taking a flight out tonight and didn’t say where she was going. Maggie repeats that she’s very distant. Abigail finds it really odd. Maggie agrees but says she was just so relieved to see Sarah in the flesh, so she could stop worrying that anything awful had happened, but her visit did not put her completely at ease. Maggie states that “Sarah” just isn’t herself.

Xander argues that Sarah doesn’t know Gwen, so he questions how she could know she’s with him. “Sarah” claims that Maggie told her right before he came in and that they are very happy together and in love. “Sarah” asks Xander if that’s not true or if he’s not in love with Gwen. Xander responds that after what Sarah did to him, he didn’t think he could ever love anyone again and he didn’t want to, but then Gwen came along. Xander confirms that he loves her. “Sarah” tells him to go be with Gwen then and leave her the hell alone as she walks out of the mansion, leaving Xander disappointed. Xander looks sadly at a framed photo of Sarah on the mantle and flashes back to when he and Sarah got engaged.

Kate tells Abigail that the mystery is solved as nothing disastrous happened to Sarah other than seemingly turning in to a bitch. Kate offers Abigail a drink. Abigail agrees to a glass of wine so Kate goes to the bar. Abigail thinks back to Kate telling her about Kristen putting on a Kate mask to break up with Jake. Abigail then recalls Xander telling her about Kristen having all these masks to make her look like whoever she wants to be. Abigail thinks back to Maggie saying she saw Sarah in the flesh but that she wasn’t herself. Abigail then comes to a realization and rushes out of the Pub as Kate calls out to her, asking where she’s going.

Gabi goes to the DiMera Mansion and enters the living room, asking if anyone is home. Johnny comes in and calls this a surprise, noting that she looks beautiful. Johnny mentions that he just got done practicing fencing. Gabi notes that he’s sweating when it’s cold outside. Johnny calls it hot as Hell for him as he removes his shirt and asks Gabi what brings her by. Gabi says she thought he’d never ask.

Melinda tells EJ that his fate is in the judge’s hands now. Melinda thanks him for making her job so easy. EJ tells her to go to Hell. Melinda then exits the court room. EJ tells Belle that it was a disaster. Belle blames EJ and calls him an arrogant jerk. EJ thought if he was a surprise witness, Melinda wouldn’t have time to dig up dirt on him. Belle reminds EJ that Melinda has been after him for years. EJ says she’s made her point. EJ asks what his chances are. Belle says she tried to do as much damage control as she could. EJ thanks her for trying as he’s aware that he behaved idiotically and made her job more difficult. Belle says he still has one thing going for him as there really is no direct evidence of his guilt. EJ says there can’t be since he’s innocent. Melinda returns and announces they are about to find out if that’s true since the judge is going to rule from the bench. Belle didn’t expect the decision for weeks but Melinda reveals he’s apparently already reached a verdict. EJ asks Belle what she thinks this means. Belle informs him that a fast verdict usually favors the defendant. Chad walks in so EJ questions what the hell he’s doing here. Chad says he heard there was a verdict, so he decided he wanted to witness EJ’s downfall in person. EJ has no idea why Chad changed his testimony. Chad says he knows what he did but EJ assures he has no idea. Judge Barnes returns and announces he’s ready to deliver his verdict. He says he’s sure they are all surprised at how quickly he came to this decision, but after reviewing the testimony, it was clear. Judge Barnes announces he finds EJ guilty as charged. Belle requests that EJ get to remain in his home until sentencing. Melinda objects, arguing that EJ is a huge flight risk. Judge Barnes agrees and orders EJ to immediately report to a holding cell where he will await transfer to prison.

Gabi tells Johnny that she hasn’t been able to stop thinking about their conversation about having interests in common, so she wanted to talk to him about what their partnership might look like. Johnny responds that he’s been giving that a lot of thought and says he was thinking it might look something like this, as Johnny then grabs Gabi and kisses her.

Maggie returns to the Kiriakis Mansion and asks Xander how it went with “Sarah”. Xander says she made it quite clear that she still hates him. Maggie asks if he at least understands what caused her change of heart. Xander says no and that she said the same thing she said a year ago. Xander doesn’t understand it as he was so sure that there was more to the story.

“Sarah” walks through the town square with her bags packed. Abigail stops her and says they need to talk. “Sarah” says she’s sorry but she’s going to miss her flight if she doesn’t leave now. Abigail asks her to answer one question as she then asks if she’s not really Sarah.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Devon: Welcome to the world, little man. They just want to make sure you’re happy and healthy.

Chance: Is he sick? Is this, like, a sick thing? Should I call the doctor?

Devon: No, no, no. I don’t think he’s sick. It’s just — I think he’s tired.

Chance: He isn’t going to sleep.

Devon: Because he’s a baby, you know? He gets fussy and you need to calm him down.

Chance: You got something that’ll make him eat?

Dominic: [ Crying ]

Devon: I don’t have any tricks, but let me try.

Chance: Here you go.

Dominic: [ Crying ]

Chance: It’s okay. Hey, it’s okay, bud.

Devon: Hey, hey, hey.

Dominic: [ Crying ]

Devon: It’s okay. Hey.

Dominic: [ Wailing ]

Devon: Hey, hey.

[ Speaking indistinctly ]

Dominic: [ Wailing ]

Devon: Oh, no. No, you don’t want that. Okay, okay. Let’s get you up. Let’s get you up and let’s just relax. There you go.

Chance: Oh, you did it.

Devon: There you go.

Chance: 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?

Devon: [ Sighs ] God, I wish I could talk to you, dad. You wouldn’t just tell me what to do, either. You would — you would break everything down, have me look at it from every angle… find the heart of the matter.

[ Sighs ] And then you’d let me figure it out on my own.

[ Sighs ] Oh, god, I just want to hear you say that you get it, that you get why I’m doing what I’m doing, even though it’s not goa be easy. ‘Cause I’m just trying to do the right thing for my son.

Chance: Hey. You want some coffee?

Abby: No. I didn’t get any sleep, but i feel like I’m gonna jump out of my skin if I have caffeine.

Chance: What can I do to help you?

Abby: Chance, explain it to me. Please. Devon is ready to take legal action to get shared custody of our son, and you don’t want to fight him on it? He has you questioning your ability to be a good father, which is wrong and, frankly, disgusting. You just went through something, something terrible, and he wants you to just bounce back? Healing from trauma takes time. Learning to parent takes time.

Chance: I know, and his point is dominic doesn’t have time to sit around and wait for me to figure this out.

Abby: Our son is thriving. It’s just — it takes a while for us to get established as a family, and I feel like all of this is just unraveling.

Chance: I’m sorry, abby. I’m — I’m sorry. I just feel that our best option is to find some common ground here, you know, find something that everybody can live with, because I don’t see devon backing down. I really don’T. And this has potential to get really ugly.

Abby: Okay, fine. Then let it get ugly because I’m not gonna agree to something that could profoundly disrupt our son’s life. We had a document. We had it drawn up. We all agreed to it. We went into this with our eyes wide open. And now devon wants to change it and he’s taking it this far? You know, it — it breaks my heart, but I am gonna fight for my son. And I need something from you.

Chance: Anything. You know that.

Abby: I need to know that you’re with me, that you’re on my side.

Chance: Abby, of course. I always am.

[ Smooches ]

Lily: Good morning.

Billy: Hi.

Sharon: Good morning, you two. What can I get you?

Lily: Uh, I’ll have an espresso, please.

Billy: That’s right. Take it up a notch. It’s her first day as ceo of chancellor industries.

Sharon: [ Gasps ] That is so wonderful. Congratulations.

Lily: Thank you. Well, it’s billy’s first day, too. He’s joining chancellor as coo so it’s a big day for both of us.

Sharon: Okay, then I’ll congratulate both of you. Clearly you make an excellent team. And you seem very relaxed for such a momentous occasion.

Billy: Well, it’s nice to look towards the future now, putting everything that happened at chanccomm behind us.

Lily: Mm-hmm. Uh, on that note, I think we should go back to the office?

Billy: No, we don’t have to rush out just because adam got here.

Lily: Well, I would like to ignore him.

Billy: We could do that. But what kind of message would that send? Medusa lived with a hideous curse.

Chance: You going somewhere?

Abby: I just, um — I need to get some air. Dominic’s asleep, and louise is upstairs.

Chance: Hey, I feel like what I said earlier upset you. And I’m –I’m really sorry.

Abby: No, I’m — I’m not angry at you. It’s devon. Insinuating that we’re failing our son — it’s pretty insulting.

Chance: Abby, that doesn’t reflect on you at all. He’s got a problem with me.

Abby: [ Scoffs ] And clearly amanda’s willing to do whatever it takes to get devon whatever he wants, like using everything we say as a weapon.

Chance: I know. I should have never opened up to him. That’s what started this whole thing.

Abby: You confided in devon. You shared what happened to you in spain. And now he’s using that as an excuse to void our agreement.

Chance: Yeah, he sure is, but it’s still my fault.

Abby: Don’t say that. Look, I know you don’t want things to get adversarial, and I love you for it, but devon has gone too far. And I think this is gonna be impossible. I have to go.

[ Smooches ]

[ Door opens ]

[ Footsteps departing ]

Chloe: You’re late. But I forgive you. I just got an update on sally.

Chelsea: How’s her trip to new york going?

Chloe: Well, believe it or not, she’s got a full day planned — interviewing colin lacasa, big score, then lunch at choon-hee park’s atelier, and then dinner with the winner of that reality show, um, about streetwear designers.

Chelsea: Great. And she’s getting it all on video?

Chloe: Just like we planned. Oh, no. What’s wrong? Spill, because we both know we’re not getting down to business until you do.

Chelsea: It’s nothing.

Chloe: Okay, well, the floor is all yours until your breakfast arrives. I ordered your usual. So, are you gonna tell me, or do I have to guess?

Chelsea: Can we just change the subject, please?

Chloe: It’s adam. And don’t tell me I’m wrong because I have seen this movie. This is exactly why I told you to avoid him like the plague. Anything or anyone who throws you off your game is just detrimental to our plans.

Chelsea: Trust me, I know how you feel about adam. You harp on and on about it every chance you get.

Chloe: Well, goodness knows you’ve given me boatloads of opportunities.

[ Sighs ] You are my best friend. I would do and have done anything — anything for you. Why can’t you just do this one simple thing for me?

Chelsea: You were right. Again. About everything. And if I’d just listened to you in the first place, I wouldn’t be stuck in this mess.

[ Sighs ]

Billy: Glad I ran into you.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Why is that?

Billy: I wanted to personally thank you for that text message that you sent to lily congratulating her on her new position at chancellor industries.

Adam: Yeah. I understand that there’s another round of kudos I should bestow. Heard you were just named coo.

Billy: That is correct, yes. I didn’t get a text message from you.

Adam: Mm.

Billy: Seriously, though, thank you very much for reaching out to lily in that way. It’s appreciate. You can’t imagine how surprised I was when I heard you did so.

Adam: Oh, I’m sure I can.

Billy: No. Trust me. You can’T.

Sharon: Adam.

Adam: Mm-hmm?

Sharon: Can I get you something?

Adam: Um, I’m just gonna have a regular coffee. But, uh, in honor of their first day, I’d love to buy the leaders of chancellor industries their coffee.

Billy: Well, isn’t that nice? Celebrating lily’s much-deserved new position.

Adam: I am sure she will do great things there.

Billy: I’m assuming whatever lingering animosity the newmans may have will be solely directed at me? You and victor will let lily thrive without any games or interference? Is that right?

Adam: Absolutely.

Billy: Glad to hear that.

Sharon: Here you go.

Adam: Thank you.

Lily: Thank you, adam, for the coffee.

Adam: My pleasure.

Billy: You have a good day. I know we will.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Bye.

Sharon: I hope at least some of that little performance was sincere. One by poise is our first pad

Chelsea: I was holding out hope that adam and I could find our way back to each other for a reason. I mean, he’s a different man now. And I’m in a better place. And no matter what, something in the past has always brought us back together, so why should this time be any different?

Chloe: That’s why you kept ignoring my words of wisdom?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] I thought it was our destiny. And even though adam made it clear I shouldn’t think that way, I still felt like he was connected to me, too, and he felt that, but he was just fighting it because he felt responsible for driving me to do all the terrible things I did.

Chloe: [ Scoffs ] Well, he was. Sorry. Forget I said that. Just tell me what happened last night.

Chelsea: Well, we went to get drinks, which I thought was a good sign, but he was very blunt and very cold when he told me there was no future for us and that I should just stop fooling myself.

Chloe: Oh, honey, that must have been hard for you to hear.

Chelsea: Yeah. Oh, and then it gets worse. He also made it clear that we cannot continue to work together professionally if I can’t let go of the past.

Chloe: I’m sorry.

Chelsea: [ Scoffs ] You know, before, when I was, you know, battling sharon for first place in his heart or he was prioritizing his feud with billy and victor over our relationship, I still always felt like we had an unshakeable bond. It could withstand anything. But I was wrong. Adam has made it clear it’s broken. For good.

Adam: Look, I appreciate that you want to give me the benefit of the doubt, but, as with everything with me and billy, it’s complicated and it’s convoluted.

Sharon: Only because the two of you are so hell-bent on keeping it going.

Adam: Well, I really do wish lily the best.

Sharon: Well, that’s really nice. I’m glad. Um, I should get back to my barista.

Adam: Will you — sharon, will you just wait a minute? There’s just something that i wanted to ask you. Uh, connor has been talking to me about how much he’s been going running with faith, and he mentioned that he texts her when he wants to hang out at the stables. So, I hope he hasn’t been taking up too much of her time.

Sharon: Um…no, of course not.

Adam: Glad to hear it. Living at the tack house does have its drawbacks, but I’m grateful to have extended family around for my son’s sake.

Sharon: I can hear the wistfulness in your voice. You can’t hide how important connor is to you.

Adam: He’s my focus right now. Him and newman media.

Sharon: I’m really glad that you and victor managed to build something. And I know how important that is to you. Regardless of what happens to the company, I do hope that you two will be able to maintain this level of trust.

Adam: Me too.

Sharon: And I can’t help hoping that you would just let go of this thing with billy. Don’t you two realize how much better your lives would be if you weren’t battling?

Adam: Mine would be a lot simpler. Trust me.

Sharon: Well, then walk away. And use this battle as a gauge so that you can see how far you’ve come instead of using it as an excuse to go back to bad behavior.

Adam: Are you gonna give him the same advice?

Sharon: Yeah, actually, I’m going to. You know, you and billy — you’re a lot more alike than either want of you want to admit.

Billy: Welcome to your new office, madam ceo.

Lily: Thank you. Same office I had when I was running chanccomm.

Billy: Yeah, that’s true. It’s a little bit different, you know. Thanks to nick and my wheeling, dealing mother, you now have the entire building, not just this floor.

Lily: I know. Well, it’s nice. I kind of like it. Nice to have something familiar when there’s been so many changes.

[ Gasps ] Aww. Flowers and liquor?

Billy: Don’t look at me.

Lily: No? Oh, it’s from jill, congratulating us on our first day. The scotch is for you, of course.

Billy: Well, she knows me well.

Lily: “I believe in you both and know that you will accomplish great things. Now go kick some ass. Jill.”

Billy: That’s my mother for you. We better listen to the lady and enjoy this last moment of peace we will have in these hallowed halls.

Lily: Very sweet. It is weird, though, coming back to an old office to start a new job, right?

Billy: Yeah. It’s like returning to the scene of a crime.

Lily: Well, I got to say, we did some great things here.

Billy: And in the copy room. Do not forget the copy room.

Lily: No, I could never forget the copy room.

Billy: Look, this is walls and furniture, okay? You are the ceo of chancellor industries, with all the power and the possibilities in your hand, and you’re gonna do amazing things no matter where you are.

Lily: Thank you. With your love and support.

Billy: Anytime, anywhere. Not that you’ll need it. You are capable of changing the world all on your own.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

[ Knock on door ]

Devon: Someone told me there’s a ceo in here.

Lily: Yes. Hi.

Devon: Is it alright?

Lily: What are you doing here?

Devon: Brought you a gift, boss lady.

Lily: Oh, thank you!

Devon: How you doing?

Lily: Good.

Devon: Yeah?

Lily: Better that you’re here.

Devon: Oh, well, I just came to wish you luck and tell you that everyone who loves you that can’t be here today is very proud of what you’ve accomplished, so…

Lily: Thank you.

Devon: You’re welcome. It’s a good day. Welcome to the ceo club.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Ceo club. Thank you.

Devon: Yeah.

Lily: [ Laughs ] (Man 1 vo) I’m living with cll

Chloe: We are each other’s ride-or-die, through thick and thin and everything in between. I just want you to be happy.

Chelsea: And free of adam.

Chloe: Free of your skewed idea of adam, the rose-colored version of your past where he’s some tragic hero or some misunderstood loner with a heart of gold, to stop making excuses for his dangerous behavior. He can’t just blame everything on his traumatic childhood or his father’s manipulations. At some point, you have to make the choice to break free, like you did when you left your grifter life behind. And you built real relationships and focused on making a better life for your son.

Chelsea: Which is what adam did, too.

Chloe: It’s what adam wants people to believe he’s doing. I told adam in order for this to be successful that we can’t be distracted by personal baggage or vendettas, but adam’s gonna be adam.

Chelsea: So, what are you saying? That I should just give up, walk away from the company?

Chloe: No, that is not what i want at all. We need to focus on the work, expanding it to include your incredible designs and making newman fashion an entity on its own so it can survive if adam manages to screw it all up.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

Chloe: So, yes, you’re right. I — I wanted you to break your addiction to adam… to let go of the hope that things are miraculously going to change.

[ Sighs ] I know your heart is breaking. My heart is breaking for you. Chels, this is not the end of something. This is just the beginning. You have your power back. And now we — we are in control of our own destiny.

Adam: You aren’t the only one to compare me to billy recently.

Sharon: Ohh. And how do you feel about that?

Adam: [ Sighs ] It is enough to make a guy go all-in on changing his ways.

Sharon: You and billy have both come a really long way. You both have full lives. You know, that’s proof that people can heal, and that’s really inspiring.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Come on. I have only inspired people to do terrible things.

Sharon: Oh, excuse me. Abby.

Abby: Hey.

Sharon: Are you okay? You look a little stressed.

Abby: Um, I’ve been better.

Adam: Hi, abby. Well, I better get back to the office before they send out a search party. It’s good to see you, abby. I hope things turn around for you soon.

Abby: Thank you.

Adam: Take care, sharon.

Sharon: You too. Um, do you want to talk about it? I’m all ears. We can sit down.

Abby: Thank you for offering to listen, but I really don’t want to get into it right now.

Sharon: Are you sure? Because I think if you didn’t, you would have just told me that everything’s fine.

Abby: [ Sighs ] I just — it’s stuff at home. You know, I have a new baby and a husband who’s been through a lot.

Sharon: I understand. Well, we can just sit down and not talk about it. Or I can get you something to eat.

Abby: I am kind of hungry.

Sharon: Alright. See? I can’t solve all the world’s problems, but I can fix that.

Nate: I cannot believe it took us two whole days of shopping to find lamps that you liked.

Elena: [ Chuckles ] Admit it. Those lamps were a huge improvement from those purple ones you had.

Nate: Just so you know, i kept the receipts, just in case.

Elena: Don’t you dare return my lamps.

Nate: Never. I want you to love everything about your new home.

Elena: I already do. Living with you has changed my life for the better.

Nate: Mm, speaking of changes, I heard jill may have found a new buyer for chanccomm.

Elena: Uh-oh.

Nate: What? Is that bad news?

Elena: Well, the new owner might not want to continue with askmdnow. Or they might not want to retain me as the face of the platform.

Nate: Okay, before you get too worried, let me tell you who the new buyer is.

Elena: Okay. Tell me.

Nate: Newman/locke. I might be able to pull a few best-man strings for you.

[ Both laugh ]

Elena: Very funny.

Nate: No, but seriously, ashland has been a big supporter of the hospital. And I’m sure he believes in the mission of askmdnow. And at the very least, it’s good P.R.

Elena: Well, you are certainly more confident than i am about its fate.

Nate: Be honest, elena. Are you sure you don’t want this site to fold?

Lily: Aww, thank you.

Devon: Yeah.

Lily: But just so you know, behind every ceo is a very dedicated coo.

Devon: Oh, of course. Of course. Congratulations to you, too, billy.

Billy: Yeah. Thank you. But let’s be honest. This is her show. I’m just here to help her fulfill her vision. It’s gonna be nice to be out of the limelight a little bit. Speaking of, I should head back to my office and actually get some work done.

Lily: Okay.

Billy: You let me know if you need anything, boss.

Lily: Yes.

Devon: It’s good to see you, man.

Billy: You too.

Devon: See you.

Lily: Don’T.

Devon: Don’t what? You gonna blame me for having reservations about the guy after everything that happened at chanccomm?

Lily: Well, kindly keep them to yourself.

Devon: Oh, you’ve got it. I won’t say anything.

Lily: Okay. Thank you. That’s all I want. Now, enough about me. Tell me what’s going on with you and the baby. And before you say it’s my day, just know that you cannot deny a ceo the truth on their very first day of work.

Devon: [ Chuckles ] Well, I’ve — I’ve officially, uh, started the legal process of getting shared custody of dominic. And amanda’s representing me, of course.

Lily: Wow. How did abby and chance react to that?

Devon: Abby didn’t react well at all, and, uh, I’m not really sure how chance feels about it. He’s very hard to read. I feel like he’s gone through so much overseas that he’s just keeping everything he’s feeling inside, and that’s one of the main reasons why I feel like what I’m doing is the right thing for dominic. It’s gonna be up to a judge to make the decision.

[ Cellphone pings ] Hang on. Let me check this.

Lily: Yeah. No problem. I’m amber.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

[ Knock on door ]

Adam: Come in.

[ Door opens ] How are you?

Chelsea: Better. I, uh, thought a lot about what you said last night, how there’s no chance in hell we’ll ever be together again.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Chelsea, that was not my words.

Chelsea: You made yourself painfully clear.

Adam: The lasthint that I wanted to do is to hurt you.

Chelsea: Okay, since we’re being blunt, that’s a crock.

[ Laughs ] You were being cruel to be kind, making sure I got the message this time. And listen — I get it. You wanted to make sure your intentions were clear, not getting mixed up in past emotions or tangled up in our past. We know each other pretty well by now.

Adam: We do.

Chelsea: It’s both a blessing and a curse.

Adam: Look, I think that we’ve — we’ve said everything that there is to stay about this, chelsea.

Chelsea: Don’t worry. As much as I do believe we could have a future for us and our son, I am not gonna humiliate myself by trying to convince you of that. And I’m certainly not gonna subject myself to more of what you were inflicting on me last night. I am just here to discuss how we move forward professionally. There’s something I’m gonna need from you if that’s gonna happen.

Sharon: Rey told me that chance is taking an indefinite amount of time off from work to spend with you at home and the baby?

Abby: Yeah, yeah. He wants to make up for the time he lost with dom and me.

Sharon: Well, that’s a good thing.

Abby: Yeah, it is.

Sharon: But things are still difficult?

Abby: I just — I feel like i need to protect my family.

Sharon: Well, yeah. Every mom feels that way. Are you talking about something specific?

Abby: Just keeping watch and holding everything together has become my primary job.

Sharon: Because chance is still struggling and then you feel like you have to take care of him, too.

Abby: My husband is fine. He loves our son, and he would do anything for our family. I don’t know why everyone keeps treating him like he’s about to fall apart.

Sharon: Okay. Well, I’m glad that he’s doing well. Um, I only asked because I know how difficult it can be to get over a traumatic experience.

Abby: Well, no, it hasn’t been easy for him, but he’s handling it.

Sharon: And it hasn’t been easy for you, either.

Abby: My husband’s home, and he’s safe. I can’t complain.

Sharon: Well, you actually can, and you should. Acknowledging your feelings can only help you and your family.

Abby: So, I get a pastry with a side of free counseling.

Sharon: Yeah, that’s the house specialty around here.

Abby: Mm. Well, I appreciate the advice, but I really don’t need a therapist.

Sharon: No, I get it. I’ll, uh — I’ll back off. I just wanted to let you know that I’m sorry for what you’re going through and you’re not alone. It really does take a village. And you should let yourself reach out to others, you know, if not me, your family or maybe friends who you really trust.

Abby: I know. I know there’s a lot of people who care about us.

Sharon: So, open up your world and dominic’S.

Abby: Chance and I need to be enough. We are dominic’s parents. He is everything that we — we wanted, everything we fought for. I mean, if we can’t do this —

Sharon: You can, and you will. But that doesn’t mean you can’t reach out to everyone who loves your son. It’ll help everyone.

Abby: Well, thank you. Thank you, um, sharon, uh, for the pastry and for listening, but, um, I need to get home to chance and dominic. Thanks.

Devon: Chance. Hey. Come in. Can I get you anything?

Chance: No. I’m okay. I’m just gonna cut right to it, man. There’s no lawyers, no abby. It’s just me wanting to know something.

Devon: Alright. Let’s — let’s have a talk. What, um — what would you like to say?

Chance: If I didn’t make it back or if I was in a better headspace right now, would you still be making all these legal demands?

Devon: I mean, I don’t — i don’t think we should be talking hypotheticals here. We should stick with reality.

Chance: Alright, but I want to hear it from you, man. Before we get the lawyers involved, I want to hear it from you. I mean, they’d probably even say that this is a terrible idea to do right now, but you know what? I think it is exactly what we need to do. So, how can we handle this without turning it into a war?

Allergies with

nasal congestion

Billy: Five minutes till launch.

Lily: Yeah. It’s just a remote meeting.

Billy: Across every time zone with every chancellor employee waiting to meet their new ceo. And you’re gonna be great.

Lily: Yep, I’ll be great.

Billy: You’re glowing, and i love to see it. You know the best thing to come out of the whole chanccomm debacle? My mother’s brilliant idea of putting you in charge of chancellor.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Well, I think it was also a good litmus test of the love, strength, and loyalty of our relationship.

Billy: Wasn’t easy, was it? For either of us.

Lily: No. It was a trial by fire. But we made it through.

Billy: And we did because of your support.

Lily: Well, and because you believed in me. So thank you for joining me on this adventure. I’m really happy that you’re by my side.

Billy: Today is all about you.

Lily: No. It’s about us. We made it through the other side stronger than before.

Billy: It’s a damn good day, isn’t it?

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Elena: I’m the face of askmdnow. I’m the person who fought for the health and wellness focus, to not only diagnose but take a preventative approach. Why would I want that to fold?

Nate: You’re already working long hours at the hospital, and you’re still volunteering at the clinic. And whatever spare time you can find, you’re doing askmdnow. And somehow you manage to squeeze me in. That’s a lot on your plate. I — too much maybe.

Elena: Look, I appreciate you being concerned about my well-being. And, yes, maybe there are times when I feel a little bit over-committed. But you of all people should know how that goes.

Nate: Yeah. I get it. Yeah.

Elena: I love all my work. I’m actually making a difference. I’m saving lives. And the time I get to spend with you — well, that’s my favorite part of the day.

Nate: [ Chuckles ]

Elena: So, what could i possibly give up?

Nate: I’m just saying you’ve had more time for, say, home decorating now that chanccomm has been on hiatus.

Elena: [ Laughs ]

Nate: Are you ready to give up that free time again?

Elena: Yes, I — I have enjoyed those extra hours. But I am so proud of the work we’re doing at askmdnow. So, yeah, I’m committed… so long as the new owners of chanccomm are, too. I hope that you’re not asking me all these questions because you think I’m gonna start neglecting you. Because it’s not gonna happen.

Nate: I guess I’ll just have to pamper you a bit more when you do come home…to our home.

Elena: [ Chuckles ]

Adam: So, what is it that you want from me?

Chelsea: Information. Given the concerns you expressed last night, I want to make sure you’re not having second thoughts letting me run newman fashion with chloe.

Adam: What?

[ Chuckling ] No. No, absolutely not. Okay, that discussion was about our personal lives, and I needed to make sure that we had some clarity about the situation so we can move forward.

Chelsea: Heard and understood. Since we’re being brutally honest with each other, I’m sure you can understand why I had to ask the question.

Adam: And in keeping with that, I hope you know that i want you to continue working with chloe. Recreating the partnership that you guys had and building on that — that is what I want to see. I mean, your second act is gonna be phenomenal. You’re an incredible talent.

Chelsea: Thank you. That means a lot.

Adam: I would be honored to help you achieve every bit of success that you deserve.

Chelsea: Well, I’m glad to hear you say that because I’m really excited about the ideas chloe and I are coming up with.

Adam: Well, if there’s anything I can do to help, just say the word.

Chelsea: Well, actually, in order to do my best at work, i need total freedom, no drama.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Of course. We all need that.

Chelsea: So, in order to avoid any awkwardness between us, I think it’s best if newman fashion relocate to a new workspace. Under the circumstances, not running into you every five minutes would be ideal.

Devon: Yeah, chance, the last thing I want is for this to turn into a war, so we can definitely talk. So have a seat, please.

Chance: Alright. Well, first off, I do not like what this is doing to abby. She hasn’t had a moment of peace since you brought this up.

Devon: Well, I hate to hear that ’cause that wasn’t my intention at all. But she feels like me spending more time with dominic is gonna confuse and upset him. I’m curious, though, where you stand on the whole thing.

Chance: Well, I love dominic. And I love my wife. So I guess I just want what’s best for everyone.

Devon: That’s what I want, too. I just — I don’t understand why you guys feel so threatened by what I’m asking. Especially given the circumstances, I don’t think it’s very unreasonable at all. And, look, please don’t ever take offense to anything I say because I have all the respect in the world for your service and for all the time that you’ve spent laying your life on the line and protecting people. But can you tell me right now that you are in a solid place emotionally and that you’re ready to give dominic everything he needs and all the attention and the love he needs without being affected by the trauma that you’ve gone through? Can you honestly say that you’re ready to do that right now?

[ Knock on door ] One second.

Chance: [ Sighs ]

Devon: Hey. Abby.

Abby: Hey.

[ Door closes ]

Abby: Chance? What are you doing here? A lot of people think dealing with copd

Lily: [ Laughs ] Oh, my god. Did that just happen? It’s — it’s official. I’m ceo of chancellor. Me!

Billy: It is official. You! Congratulations.

Lily: So, how did I do? Was it okay?

Billy: How did you do? Come on. That was amazing, honestly.

Lily: Yeah?

Billy: Yes, the way you fielded those question, poised, powerful. They were eating out of the palm of your hand, and they loved you.

Lily: You think so?

Billy: Honestly, it was amazing. I’ve never seen anything like that. The energy, the excitement.

Lily: [ Sighs ]

Billy: The best way to start this company for sure.

Lily: Yes.

Billy: Congratulations. How do you feel?

Lily: Oh, I’m just gonna show you.

Billy: Mmm.

Adam: Move the fashion division out of the building? That seems a little extreme.

Chelsea: It’s a rational and logical solution to the problem of us working together. Out of sight, out of mind.

Adam: Look, I think that we are more than capable of maintaining a professional relationship. I think that we can handle this like adults.

Chelsea: Well, this is adult me telling adult you what I need in order to keep working at newman media. It’s a reasonable request, one I’m sure you can easily manage.

[ Door closes ]

[ Exhales heavily ]

Abby: Chance, what are you doing here?

Chance: Abby, I have to do what’s best for that little boy.

Abby: Our son?

Chance: Yes, and I was just gonna see if we could work something out. That’s it.

Abby: [ Sighs ] Okay. I get it. You’re trying to hash out a plan away from the overprotective mom, hoping that I get on board?

Devon: No, abby, that’s not what’s happening at all.

Abby: Look, if there’s something that needs to be discussed, it needs to be between the two of us.

Chance: Okay, abby, I just wanted to talk to devon alone, father to father. Now, devon just asked me a question, and I think it deserves an answer.

Devon: All I asked was, given everything he’s been through, is he ready to give dominic all the love and attention that he needs and deserves right now?

Abby: Chance?

Chance: No. I’m not sure I can.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You know, I’m glad I came. Yeah? Yeah, it feels good sweating out all the stress from the move. Ha. I noticed you were giving it pretty good there. That got anything to do with brook lynn? Dante: Wow, dude, why don’t you

tell me how you really feel? And — and I don’t even think

brook lynn’s really my type. And if — if she was

my type, how would I be able

to trust her when she wouldn’t even know

the truth if it was looking her

in the face?

[ Sighs ] Get it together, girl. Who cares about one guy’s opinion? Well, that was a struggle. Tj didn’t want to go back to work, huh? I let him know that I would tell him if there were any updates with marshall. Did the doctor come by while I was gone? No, but thanks to finn, the cardiac care team was here when we arrived. Your father’s in good hands. It’s scary, but your dad’s gonna be okay. Thank you. Thank you all for getting him here as quickly as you did. How are you holding up? Honestly, I don’t know. I’m mostly confused.

[ Sighs ]

[ Knock on door ] Thirsty? What do I need chase for anyways? There are thousands of guys who will think I’m awesome. Obviously.

[ Cellphone beeps ] That is what dating apps are for.

[ Sighs ] Great. Oh, what did I do with my charger?

[ Creaking ] Chase? Why would it have anything to do with brook lynn? Well, I mean, you were pretty harsh with her back at the house, man. Maybe there’s some underlying resentment around the baby or, I don’t know, something else. It’s a confusing situation. Yeah, I’ll bet it is. You know, one minute we’re fine and then the next… anyway, we’ll — we’ll figure it out. Do you want to grab a beer after this? Yeah, sure. Why not? You buying? Done. Alright, let’s go. Consider it a thank-you for helping me move. Ah, stop. Oh, hey, what’s up? You and i need to have a talk.

Right before you called, I was deciding on whether or not I was gonna give marshall a chance. And then I had a conversation with drew, and it reminded me that, you know, I have time to make a decision, but… …you know, that might not be the case now. I know I have legit reasons to be cautious. Yes, you do. You have very legitimate reasons. But I can’t help wondering if I wasted time interrogating marshall instead of getting to know him. Okay, let’s just take one step at a time, alright? First, we need to hear what the doctor has to say, and then we’ll take it from there. Thank you. For what? For throwing “we” in there. I am right here for you, curtis. Okay? No matter what, I got you. Come here. Oh, dr. Rose, um, this is curtis ashford, marshall’s son. Is my father gonna be okay? To our partnership. Hear, hear.

[ Chuckles ] Hey. Hi. You want to come over and join us? You do know that I have a mini bar, right? Where the beer costs an arm and a leg. No offense. None taken. How did you know I was here? Spinelli. He had a feeling you weren’t going home, so he had me check on you, so I came here. Well, that’s sweet. I mean, spinelli worried and you checking in on me. But, you know, you can see I’m fine. I’m doing great. No, you’re not, carly. I know you, and I know that you would normally want to talk to jason at a time like this, but you can’T. And I certainly — I can’t replace him. I mean, I could put on a black t-shirt if it makes you happy, but… the kids are at monica’s for the night, so I am all yours. Do you want to start over? Okay. Hi, carly. Hey, sam. How are you feeling? Not so great. I hear you’re bailey’s father, not valentin. That’s right. Good, ’cause valentin doesn’t deserve that little girl. Did you hit him? That’s not my finest moment. Yeah, he probably had it coming. What’s going on with you and brook lynn? We’re not together, if that’s what you’re thinking. You don’t think she’s good enough for you? Whoa, whoa. What are you doing? No, I’m just saying, any — any man’s lucky to have someone like brook lynn. Okay. Yeah, but if chase isn’t interested in her, then he isn’t interested in her, but he’s stepping up for his daughter. If you say so. If you say so, that’s fine. Okay. Okay. Alright, I’m gonna hit the showers before we grab that beer. Mr. Corinthos, it was good to see you. Hey. What was that? What? What do you mean? You laid into him. What for? Well, ’cause, you know, brook lynn’s my goddaughter. What do you want me to do? She’s also an adult, dad. I mean, no offense, but with everything that’s going on with you right now, don’t you think you should be more focused on your own life?

[ Thumping ] Oh, crap. Okay. It’s okay. I’m blq. I’ve got this.

What the…

[ Gasps ] Good news is it wasn’t a heart attack. That is very good news. So what happened? Your father’s blood pressure was elevated. Okay. We switched his medication to one that will hopefully take care of that. So he’s alright? He’s perfectly fine. He can be discharged as soon as he gets his new prescription. Feel free to go in and see him. Thank you, doctor. And thank you all for your help and for waiting with my father until I got here. Of course.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh, um… this is a patient. Can I check in with you in a little bit? Yeah, I should call tj and let him know what’s going on. Okay. Hey, you okay? Uh… something’s just not tracking. Um, excuse me. I’ve noticed she doesn’t like to elaborate. Yeah, not so much. Mm. Well, you know, now that we know marshall is in the clear, we’ve got a big decision to make. We do? Yeah. Correct me if I’m wrong, but we were having a pretty okay time before all the excitement. Yes. And, you know, I… my babysitter’s still on the clock for another couple hours. Yeah, same here. How would you feel about continuing our date? I’d feel pretty okay about that. Yeah? Yeah. Let’s go.

[ Cellphone rings ] Oh, excuse me. Cameron, hi. Wait, what? What’s going on? I’m just looking out for my family, like I always do. Why is everybody giving me so much grief? Who’s — who’s everybody, carly and michael? Well, ’cause — yeah. I mean, you know, it’s like… they’re mad at me for something that happened in nixon falls. I didn’t know who I was. I didn’t have control over it. All I’ve done when I came back is just try to make things okay. Okay, alright. Alright, how can I help you? I’m just trying to — nothing. I’m just gonna clear my — I need to clear my head. I’m gonna work out. You go with your friend. You do what you got to do. Ready? Uh…actually, man, I think I’m gonna stick here with my dad. Take a rain check? Sonny: No, go. Just go. Don’t worry about it. Yeah. No problem.

[ Cellphone rings ] Harrison chase. Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hang tight. I will be right there. It’s nice to see you. Yeah, you too. Shawn and I were just going over some of our plans for the invader. Oh. You seem excited. I am. Right? It’s — we’re done with business, I think, yes? Pull up a chair. Join us. Oh, thank you, but I’m just here for take-out, so enjoy your evening. Mm. I’ll be right back. Everything alright? Yeah, fine. Why? You seem uncomfortable. Well, I get the sense that shawn butler is not my biggest fan. He, too, will come around. Right, like sam did the other day? What does that mean? Mm. I’m furious. Well, yeah, of course you are. About all of it. I mean, nina, yeah, she gets top billing because she’s a hateful liar. But sonny too, for not telling me all this time that he fell in love with nina. And the worst part is I can’t be angry about it because if I get angry about it, then we switch places in this story. Who, you and nina? Yeah, yeah. She becomes a victim and I become the villain, which is laughable, right? I mean, after nina kept sonny from his family out of spite, stole months from his life in the process. You saw. You watched. I mean, we were barely hanging on over here while they were attending barn dances and barbecues. And god forbid I want nina to deal with some kind of consequence. No, that paints me as the bad guy. Look, I-I know you’re upset, but I-I hardly think that puts you in that sort of — oh, yeah, it does. It does. I don’t have the words for how messed up this is. I actually think you’re doing a great job.

[ Scoffs ]

May I have a wordabout marshall ashford? You know I can’t discuss his case with you. I know, but, uh… I couldn’t help noticing that you quickly determined it was a simple medication issue. I’m confident in my diagnosis. With all due respect, in my experience, it’s best to perform ambulatory monitoring to rule out any underlying causes of hypertension. I understand you’re a very experienced nurse, ms. Johnson, but as mr. Ashford’s doctor, I know what I’m doing. Hey. Um… how you feeling? Kind of embarrassed by… all the — all the attention. So this has happened before? Doctor says there’s better medication that should help. How long, marshall? What, the prescription? No, how long have you had blood pressure issues? This isn’t an issue. I have it all under control. Really? Look where you are. There’s nothing to concern yourself about. What if it’s hereditary? Leave it alone. Sam said she’d be watching you? Yeah, it was more of a warning than a statement. I really wish she hadn’t have done that. Look, you know I didn’t tell you this to cause friction between the two of you — in fact, like, the total opposite. You and I talked about, you know, how difficult our friendship would be for your daughters. Yes, we did, and I understand where she’s coming from. But I’m also a grown woman, and I have a right to have the friends that I choose to have. Yeah, okay, under normal circumstances, sure. Thank you. Look, alexis, you know I cherish our friendship, but now we’re seeing the reality of it. And I didn’t want to keep you in the dark about how sam was feeling. So, you know, if you need to distance yourself while your daughters come to terms —

if your daughters come to terms with it, then I completely understand. What’s wrong? I’m trying to do what’s right for me and what’s right for my daughters, and I’m starting to think that just might not be possible. I’m really, really sorry. That doesn’t look good. What happened? Yeah, I’d like to know the answer to that, too. Well, I was upstairs giving myself a manicure — moving is hard on the nails — and I heard a noise — well, multiple noises, actually, so I grabbed a vase, I came downstairs, and I thought cameron was an intruder, so I whacked him over the head with it. You’re very strong. Thank you. Look, this is all my fault, okay? I thought the house was empty. I had no idea that my dad loaned it to brook lynn. Well, the good news is you don’t need stitches. Are you sure? Yes. Pupils aren’t dilated. Think you’re gonna be okay. Oh, thank god. Thank you for calling me. -Of course. -Yeah. Thanks a bunch. I’m just glad your head is still intact. Me too. I’m really sorry for the — intrusion. It’s okay. Yeah. I promise it won’t happen again. Okay, let’s get you two home. -Okay. -Yeah. -Okay. -Bye. Good night. Feel better. Sorry. Good night.

[ Sighs ] Chase: Are you okay? Yeah, I just — I feel awful that I hurt the poor kid. Yeah, I get why you called elizabeth. Why’d you call me? You should’ve gotten that beer when you had a chance. Oh, yeah? I should have? No, I think it’s — I think it’s good that I stayed. You want to get in the ring?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, we can get in the ring in a minute. I want you to tell me what’s going on first. I told you what’s going on. Yeah, well, there’s clearly more than that happening. Carly came by… to say good night to donna and avery. That’s what she’s doing now — she’s coming by to make them think that everything is normal. Mm. But everything’s not normal. No, it’s not normal ’cause they keep asking, “is — is mom coming? Is she staying?” It’s not gonna work out. It’s not gonna work. Like that, because you… you did tell michael you were gonna give carly space. I tried, but I’m telling you, it’s obvious to me that carly refuses… to see what’s in front of her. Have you been holding this in the whole time? Oh, well, I lost my mind on nina at first, but, yeah, since the hearing, yeah. I…

[ Sighs ] I cannot imagine how hard this must be on you. Yeah, well… I don’t know. Anger is the easy emotion. I’d rather feel rage than everything else. What’s everything else? I’m embarrassed. Why? Because I feel stupid. You are not stupid, carly. Oh, god, I should — I should have known. I should have known something was going on. I mean, all the times that sonny insisted that we shouldn’t go after nina. I mean, that all he wanted to focus on was putting our life back together. You tell me one time — one time sonny corinthos hasn’t demanded retaliation, especially when someone hurts his family. God knows we were hurt. I know you were hurt. When I remember how confused donna was and how devastated avery and josslyn and everyone, I mean, nina did that to us. And he stood by her.

[ Sighs ] He swore on the stand that he wasn’t nina’s victim. What the hell is that? We were all nina’s victims, every single one of us. Do we not matter? I… [ Scoffs ] How am I supposed to believe that sonny loves me when he still has a place in his heart for a woman who hurt me like that?

I accidentally assaulteda hormonal teenager, chase. I’m sorry if I didn’t know what to do. You know, you really need to break this pattern. What pattern? Hitting people in the head, accidental or not. I was alone in a — in a strange house that we moved into to protect a tiny baby from a giant psychopath. I’m sorry, I was terrified, and you were working out. You told me to go. Not because I wanted you to. You know, for someone who claims they want a relationship — I do, I do. Well, then why is everything off-limits with you? Not — not everything. Just some things. Curtis, if I thought it was important or affected you in any way, I would — hold on, hold on. Your medical history is not important? You just suffered a cardiac episode, marshall. I’m fine. Didn’t the doctor talk to you? I’m talking to you. I need information from you. Does anything warrant a conversation, or am I only allowed to know that you play the clarinet? I’m sorry that the events in my life have made me guarded, and I’m also sorry that the events in your life have made you inquisitive. These are regular, run-of-the-mill questions. The only thing that’s irregular is that you refuse to answer them. Curtis, I hope and pray that we will somehow find a way to reconcile our differences. These are big differences. But they’re not insurmountable, man. And I’m willing to try. Are you? I get it. I mean, I really get it. If I ignore all the horrible things that nina has done, I can see where it would be hard for sonny to turn off his feelings for her. I mean, I couldn’t do it with jason. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. No, no, no. You know, don’t be.

[ Sighs ] I’ve moved past that a long time ago. Well… I know that it hurt sonny, you know, when he came home and he found out that jason and I had developed feelings for each other. I mean, that was really difficult for him. Never mind that it never would have happened if it weren’t for nina and her lies. But the point is, the second sonny came home, jason and I shut that door permanently. And I have done everything I can to do right by my husband. But sonny, on the other hand, he keeps acting on his feelings for nina. What do you mean? Did he say that he loves her? He says he still has feelings for her, but what they had is in the past. But how do I believe that when — when he keeps defending her? Nina’s in the wrong, clearly. But by sticking up for her, sonny’s making you feel like it’s you who’s attacking her. Yeah. And what does that say about him, if he feels that way and refuses to stick up for me? And more importantly, what does that say about our marriage? So, carly and I, we had this — we had this moment. Undeniable pull. Right? And then we get interrupted. And then carly’s, you know, walls go up. Ah, man, I’m sorry. I just think that if she — we were living together, she would see that what we have and who we are hasn’t changed. Whatever residual feelings I have for nina doesn’t compare to my love for carly. Right, well, maybe she does feel that. Maybe deep down she does, but she hasn’t processed it yet. I mean… you know you hurt her, right? But if anybody gets it, it’s carly. She fell in love with jason. Mm. Right? And then she insisted on being with me. What’s the difference between that and what happened with nina? Okay, well, there is a — oh, yeah? No, but there is a difference, okay? Listen, say what you will about her and jason. I’m not gonna touch that one, but… okay. They thought you were dead, right? Uh-huh. So in their eyes, there was no betrayal. But in her eyes, she feels you betrayed her because you went out and protected nina after you know that nina lied about you being alive. Yeah, I admit that I did — you know, I didn’t say anything when I first came because I thought that I could get over these feelings. And then jason died and then a lot went down… alright, whatever. All that stuff. …Dante. Bottom line is carly asked for space and time. Is she your person? Yeah, she is. Okay, then you got to give it to her. That’s what she wanted, that’s what you got to give to her. That’s it. No, that’s the worst thing I can do.

I’m gonna check on jake and aiden. I’ll be right back.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Okay. Oh, no, devin just texted. He says he’s gonna be here soon to pick me up. Goodbye already? I know. I’ll just be, uh… not here. Hey, I had a lot of fun tonight. Well, up until… well, you know. Yeah, well, we can try again at the cabin. Yeah, that should be no problem. We just have to avoid esme and spencer and trina. See? Easy. Honestly, alone or not, I… I just really like spending time with you. As do I. I’m sorry, I’m just — I’m really overwhelmed with this situation. I just… we keep trying to set boundaries, and bailey’s still in danger, and I just — I don’t know what the right thing to do is. Well, yeah, it’s an adjustment for sure, but we’ll figure it out together.

[ Chuckles ] Some first date, huh? Yeah, most romantic in history.

[ Both chuckle ] This may sound crazy, given all the… interruptions, but… I had a really good time with you tonight. And if you’ll let me, I would love to take you out again. I would like that very much. Yeah? Yeah. Though I’m hoping for a-a little less eventful. See what I can do.

[ Chuckles ] Look, I’m all for second chances. I mean, god knows I’ve been given a few, but harmony isn’t just a former criminal, alexis. The crimes she committed were against your daughters. I’m very well aware of that, and I don’t excuse any of that. However, it’s important to realize that — that harmony was also one of shiloh’s victims. Do you think sam or kristina can see that? Well, I don’t know if sam can, but truthfully, kristina’s opinion about this matters more. So if kristina knew how beneficial it is for you to have a relationship with harmony, what do you think that opinion would be? Still here.

[ Sighs ] Hypertension can be the sign of something more serious. Now, I know that dr. Rose is convinced it’s just a matter of your medication, but if you want a second opinion, I have no — no, no, no, no, it won’t be necessary. It’s happened before, and everything’s been fine. You call this fine? The doctor and I, we have an understanding, okay? Epiphany, thank you for looking out for me. Your patients — your patients are very lucky to have you. Don’t think that you have an out. I’m still paying my half of the bill.

[ Both laugh ] Deal. How’s marshall? The same. Closed off and stubborn. I feel like — I feel like I’m getting whiplash, you know? One minute, I’m considering never seeing him again and what that feels like, and the very next minute, I’m reminded of why we’re at an impasse in the first place. Relationships are tricky. That’s an understatement. You’ll make progress, you’ll have setbacks. I mean, that’s all to be expected. How can we make progress if marshall is controlling how much I can and can’t know? Well, you said it yourself, curtis — you wanted time, right? And now, thankfully, you have it. So it’s up to you how you want to spend that time. I do want a relationship with my father.

[ Sighs ] I just don’t know if that’s possible. I took your advice, talked to carly. It really didn’t help much.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Or you could say that you made your point, she made her point, and I think it’d be a huge mistake if you didn’t listen to what she’s asking of you. Carly wants space. Mm-hmm. We had that for nine months. We should be making up for that. I mean… being apart… …we gain nothing. Obviously, carly doesn’t see it that way. Oh, believe me, I know how hard it is when you and your husband aren’t on the same page. Mm. I am so sorry. For the first time in a long time, I have…no idea what to do. I don’t know what comes next, you know? Well, that’s not true. I know that I go to bed and I get up in the morning because I promised the girls that I would be there early to make them pancakes. Yeah. There you go. Alright. Well… I’m gonna go, okay? Sam. Yeah? Do you want me to call joss or something? Oh, no. I don’t want you to be alone. No, no, I don’t want you to call josslyn or michael. You know, they’ve already come down pretty hard on sonny. I don’t want them involved any more than they already are or feeling like they have to pick sides. Okay. Carly. Yeah? What’s the hardest part? What do you mean? You said you were angry and then you said you were embarrassed. What else? Underneath it all, there’s this… deep, aching sadness. Nina devastated my family, and, uh… I’m not so sure we can recover.

Well, I guess you’re free to go now. Guess so. Guess so. Look, curtis, um… I’m sorry things got tense earlier. I didn’t know what to expect when I came back. I only knew I had to try. It seems I’m not doing too good a job at that. Means a lot that you showed up tonight. I should call a car. Do they have taxis out front? They do, but… I’ll give you a ride. Ready? Lead the way. Brook lynn: Thank you. Long day, huh? Were you in the middle of working out when I called? No, dante and i were just finishing up. I was a little confused, though. I didn’t recognize the number you called with. Yeah, my phone died. I called you from cameron’s phone. Cam had my cell info? No. Then how’d you call me? I know your number by heart. For real? Okay, don’t sound so pleased, okay? After the whole maxie/fake chloe horror show, I just — I thought it was a good idea to memorize some important numbers in case of emergency. Important? Well, you are bailey’s “father.” Right. Letting myself fall for someone like brook lynn would be a major disaster. And I know your families used to be close, but I heard about all the wildly inappropriate stuff she used to do back in the day. I mean, she lied, she schemed, hurt people. Gosh, I am so tired.

[ Clears throat ] Really? Yeah, turns out that amorous teenagers breaking into your house just takes a lot more out of you than I thought. I’m gonna head to bed. I’m really sorry I ruined your night. Oh, you didn’t ruin my night. It’s not always gonna be like this, okay? Most of the time, you won’t even know I’m here. Good night. You’re right. I’m not looking to be right. The friendship that I formed with harmony in prison is gonna end up being hurtful to kristina. Even if she knew how you feel about harmony now? Even if, and I-I don’t want to make things difficult for kristina. Then I think you already have your answer. Apparently I am not going to be able to continue my friendship with harmony. If you keep pushing carly, you’re gonna sabotage the whole thing. No, no, the only way I’m gonna do that is by letting this go on. Here’s the thing, I need to — I need to up the stakes. I need to show carly how much she means to me. One thing I do know is I can’t do this — I can’t fix this if we’re not together. If she wants time… then, you know, we’re gonna do it together. I don’t think that’s what she meant. Well, I don’t care what she meant because… carly’s who I want. I’m gonna let her know that. End of story. Thank you for coming by and letting me get all that off my chest. Let you? Pretty much forced you into it. Either way, felt good. I’m glad. In case nobody’s told you this yet, you’re not the bad guy here, carly. Nina hurt you a lot. And if I’m being honest, sonny did, too. So you’re entitled to feel all of these emotions right now. Just — just know that. Yeah. Thank you.

[ Sighs ]

[ Exhales sharply ] Hey. How’s your head? You need some ice? Ah, I’m fine. Hey, mom, I… I’m so sorry that your date got messed up because of me. I’m just glad that you still need me. Everything good with you and josslyn? Things are great. I love seeing that smile. I like seeing yours, too.

[ Chuckles ] I bet franco’s really glad to see us doing so well. I hope so. I know so. You and josslyn are being safe, right? Good night, mom. Can’t wait to finish this conversation in the morning. Oh, great.

[ Knock on door ] Dante. Hi. Hey, elizabeth. Um…I’m sorry. I know it’s early. Uh… look, something terrible happened last night, and I thought you should know about it.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Days of Our Lives logo

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nicole: [Grunts] Oh, my gosh, what is this made of, oak? Damn it!

Rafe: Need a hand? Mind if I ask what you’re doing?

[Dramatic music]

Kayla: Must have a roster or something or a softball team photo.

[Dramatic music]

Mother superior: Sister? May I ask just what you’re doing?

[Phone rings]

Steve: Yeah, brady? Listen, kayla’s on the inside. I really hope she’s okay in there. Right, I’ll keep you posted.

Kristen: Kayla will be just fine, father nichols.

Steve: Kristen?

Kristen: See, you’re the one who needs to pray for absolution.

Steve: Whoa, hold on.

Kristen: It is time you were given your last rites, patch. Are you having a moment of déj vu?

Steve: Is that what this is?

Kristen: Well, you caught me off guard, uh, at marlena’s all those months ago, so I’m just returning the favor.

[Tense music]

Abigail: We just have a few questions about a flight that you took last march. Um, do you happen to remember flying this woman out of salem?

Xander: Her name is sarah horton.

Ned: Pretty girl. Definitely not a face you’d ever forget.

Gwen: Ava, where the hell are you? I need your help. It turns out that abigail is not going to rest until she finds sarah, and when she does, it means it’s only a matter of time until I lose xander. Please, please, phone me back. Phone me back.

[Knocking on door] Coming.

[Gasps] Sarah?

Sarah: In the flesh.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Steve: You’re right. It has been a while. So, how have you been?

Kristen: Oh… well, I’ve been a little rankled, truth be told. So, I think it would be a very good idea if you try hard not to irritate me anymore than you already have.

Steve: Is it okay if I sit down?

Kristen: No. Instead of worrying about sister mary elizabeth’s safety, you should really be careful yourself.

Steve: I can see that now.

Kristen: Wow. [Laughs] Xander really wasted his money.

Steve: Xander?

Kristen: Mm-hmm.

Steve: What’s he got to do with this?

Kristen: He hired you to find me…

Steve: [Scoffs]

Kristen: And sadly, the only thing that anyone’s gonna find is a dead one-eyed priest.

Steve: No, no, no, no. Hang on, hang on. Xander did not hire me. So, you see, this is all one big misunderstanding.

Kristen: Huh.

Xander: So, you’re saying you do remember her?

Ned: No, I said she’s pretty. Look, I–I’ve flown so many people over the years. Just after a while, they turn into blurs.

Abigail: Okay, ned, well, allow me to de-blur this particular flight for you. It took place last spring, right before you abruptly quit your very lucrative job at dimera without even bothering to pick up your last check.

Ned: How did you–

Xander: How does she know that? That’s a good question. Abigail, you do seem to know rather a lot of information about this guy.

Abigail: Well, I do happen to be an investigative reporter, and coincidentally–well, coincidentally, my husband happens to be the ceo of dimera. So, I don’t have a lot of information, sort of just scratching the surface, but even though I haven’t begun to dig deeply, I do know I can find out everything there is to know about this particular flight, including who financed it and who profited.

Xander: Very impressive. So, um, sir, perhaps you’d like to take another look at this photo, and just concentrate a little bit harder this time?

Ned: Can I get a drink?

Xander: You’re not flying in the next eight hours, are you?

Ned: No.

Xander: Name your poison.

Ned: Beer me.

Xander: Waitress, can I get a beer for my mate? Cheers.

Abigail: I’m gonna ask you again, do you recognize that woman?

Ned: Now that I–I think of it, she does look a little familiar.

Gwen: I don’t understand, how–how are you here?

Sarah: Oh, well, I called the front desk and asked for xander cook’s room number. They were really quite accommodating.

Gwen: I–I didn’t–I didn’t mean that.

Sarah: Oh, you meant, how did I get off the desert island that kristen dimera stashed me on when I threatened to tell the cops that she was masquerading as susan banks? Which you already knew, because that’s what kristen was using to blackmail you into helping her escape.

Gwen: Sarah, I–I…

Sarah: I didn’T.

Gwen: What?

Sarah: Sarah horton’s still very much on that island.

Gwen: I–I–I don’t understand.

Sarah: [Chuckles] Sorry, I forgot.

Gwen: What on earth are you doing?

Ava: Relax. Gwen, it’s just me. This is the sound of nature breathing.

Mother superior: If you’re looking for something, all you had to do was ask.

Kayla: Well, I didn’t wanna bother you. I–I was looking for a bible. I’ve misplaced mine.

Mother superior: Well, isn’t that, uh, bible right there in front of you?

Kayla: Oh! So it is.

[Chuckles] My husband always tells me i need to get glasses, I’m so nearsighted.

Mother superior: Your husband?

Kristen: Don’t be cute, and don’t lie to me.

Steve: Well, guess the cute thing is out of my control, but I’m not lying. I’m not working for xander. He did try to hire me, but not to find you. He wanted me to track down sarah horton.

Kristen: The runaway bride?

Steve: Yeah. Unless you think that my finding her would lead to you.

[Tense music]

Nicole: What is it look like I’m doing? I’m trying to get this conference table out of here. I don’t even think you and i could get it out of here. You know what, I don’t even think the buccaneers offensive line could get it out of here.

[Grunts, sighs] And as you could imagine, it reminds me of something that i don’t–I don’t wanna remember. Something that should have never happened.

Rafe: I get it.

Nicole: Speaking of things that shouldn’t happen, what are you doing here?

Ava: You got any, uh, oh, lotion? This thing kinda chafed my neck.

Gwen: What in the actual hell? Ava, what is going on here?

Ava: [Chuckles] It was pretty mean, I know, I’m sorry. I just–I couldn’t resist. You should’ve seen your face.

[Mimics explosion]

Gwen: What is that thing?

Ava: Isn’t it obvious? It’s a sarah mask. Yeah, kristen sent it to me this morning.

Gwen: Why on earth would she send you that thing?

Ava: Well, she called me the other day, and apparently steve is looking for her, and she wanted to know if I sicced him on her.

Gwen: Steve’s found her?

Ava: No, no, no, no, and he won’t, not if kristen has anything to say about it.

Gwen: Okay, I still–I still don’t understand, why would kristen send you that mask?

Ava: Well, I–I told her that I had nothing to do with steve looking for her and that you and I do not want her found anymore than she wants to be found.

Gwen: [Sighs] Yeah, well, i would say that that’s obvious.

Ava: And I did end up admitting that xander had gone to steve.

Gwen: Yeah, but steve turned xander down. I told you that.

Ava: Maybe he changed his mind. Who knows. Anyway, I also told kristen that you were freaking out, because xander’s looking for sarah, and since we helped her break out of jail, she decided to return the favor and help us out.

Gwen: Not to mention the fact that she doesn’t want sarah found.

Ava: Yeah, well–[Chuckles]– That’s our kristen, isn’t it? Anyway, this showed up at my door. I think it’s the answer to your prayers.

[Ominous music]

Xander: Better?

Ned: [Exhales] Hits the spot.

Xander: You say you recognize this woman? That’s ’cause she’s the person that you flew out of town on the dimera jet.

Ned: I suppose it’s possible.

Abigail: No one has heard from this woman in nearly a year, so we’re going to need a little more than it’s possible. Surely you have some recollection of who was on that flight.

Xander: Hey, she’s in trouble, big trouble, and we– we have to help her. Did you fly this woman or not?

Ned: Yeah. I did.

[Dramatic music]

My asthma felt anything but normal.

Rafe: Listen, I don’t mean to bother you, okay? It’s just that something has come up at work.

Nicole: Oh, so, you wanna talk to me about police business? Shouldn’t you be talking to, I don’t know, this is just off the top of my head, but another cop?

Rafe: Uh, no, because it actually involves you.

Nicole: Me? What? How? Why?

Rafe: The other day, trask came to me with two different files, okay? Two different files that had the exact same complaint that I had planted evidence to make an arrest, and I think that there is more than a good chance that someone put them up to it.

Nicole: Damn it, rafe, i would never do that to you.

Rafe: No, I didn’t say you. I don’t think that it was you.

Nicole: Okay, but you said it had something to do with me.

Rafe: Yes, I did, because i think it was ava… because of us.

[Solemn music]

Ava: It’s pretty good, right?

Gwen: It’s a bit creepy. Uh…how is this supposed to be the answer to my prayers?

Ava: Well, kristen put a note in with the mask. And first, I need you to know that there were some pretty intense threats about what would happen to us if, uh, she was found.

Gwen: Why? We–we–we–we don’t want anybody to find sarah.

Ava: Yeah, that’s just kristen being kristen. You know, a letters not a letter without some threats. Anyway, she sent it so you could use it to get xander to stop looking for sarah.

Gwen: Me?

Ava: Yeah. Who else? You put the mask on, you go to xander, you tell him that you, sarah, don’t want anything to do with him anymore, and he needs to stop looking for you, and then bing, bang, boom, problem solved. He never wants to lay eyes on sarah again.

Abigail: So, sarah hired you to fly her on a dimera jet?

Ned: She approached me at the hangar, said she heard some of us pilots took on freelance gigs from time to time. She needed somebody to fly her out of salem.

Abigail: On a dimera jet?

Ned: Uh, I’m not the only one who does it, mrs. Dimera.

Abigail: I’m here for “the spectator,” not dimera enterprises. And so, you agreed?

Ned: I said I would do it for the right price. She definitely had the money. I can see how much she must have spent on her clothes.

Abigail: Are you an expert in couture?

Ned: Uh, no, luggage. I saw the size of the suitcase she had. I have never seen such a tiny woman with such a big suitcase.

Xander: Forget the luggage. Where’d you take her?

Ned: Can’t tell you that.

Xander: Why not?

Ned: It’s part of the deal. Look, I didn’t have to tell you that I flew her in the first place. I did it ’cause you said that she might be in danger.

Xander: She is, and if you don’t tell us where she is, we can’t help her.

Ned: Sorry I can’t be more forthcoming. But I get paid to be discreet. But I could also get paid to be indiscreet. So, if you wanna know where i took her, have to cough up some cash. And I don’t take checks.

[Soft instrumental music]

Kristen: If you were looking for sarah, there’s no way that would lead you to me.

Steve: Although, you know how they say that all roads lead to rome? In the past, a whole lot of mysterious disappearances have led to you.

Kristen: Oh, please. Use your head. Sarah went through hell, and she still gave me my baby back. Heck, we’re almost like sisters. So, why would I wanna disappear sarah horton?

Steve: God only knows why you do anything.

Kristen: Wow. May I remind you I have a gun?

Steve: Okay, that hasn’t slipped my mind, okay, but now that we have cleared up that I’m not working for xander, he’s not looking for you, why don’t you put the damn thing down?

Kristen: Because I still want answers, and if you are not working on xander’s behalf, then why are you here, hm? There’s not exactly a roman holiday for you and the misses to dress as clergy and her cloistered and you sleeping single in a double bed. No, I think–I think that you came here to flush me out of the convent, my spiritual home.

Steve: Your spiritual home when you’re facing prison time.

Kristen: Wow. Again, the gun, hm?

[Tense music]

Who paid you to come after me?

Steve: [Sighs]

Kristen: I mean it.

Steve: Brady.

Kristen: Why in the name of god would brady do that?

Steve: Because he wants to know if you’re the one who framed him for philip’s disappearance.

Kayla: Uh, did I say husband? I did, didn’t I? Did I say husband?

Mother superior: Yes, you did. I know some would say we’re a liberal order, but we still draw the line at husbands.

Kayla: I can explain.

Mother superior: I’m all ears.

Kayla: Um, you see, I–I come from a–a very strong irish-american family, and we take the teachings of the church quite literally. So, as I am a bride of christ, that would make him my husband, wouldn’t it?

Mother superior: A husband who nags you about glasses?

Kayla: Well, he talks to me about all my problems. He’s sort of like–like–like joan of arc.

Mother superior: And look how she ended up.

Kayla: A saint. She ended up a saint.

Mother superior: Uh, what we all aspire to. So, take the bible.

Kayla: Thank you, reverend mother.

Mother superior: And one last question, how are you going to read it given that you’re so nearsighted that you didn’t see it right there in front of you?

Kayla: Uh, well, I don’t–i don’t need to read it. I–I find comfort in its physical presence.

Mother superior: If it means that much to you, you–you must have–have all the important passages memorized.

Kayla: A lot of them, yeah.

Mother superior: Then how about you recite one for me?

Kayla: Um, I would be happy to, but I’m not sure I have them verbatim, and you shouldn’t improvise the word of god, should you?

Mother superior: Well, it’s all in translation, unless you memorized it in the original hebrew or aramaic.

Kayla: No, I never–never got the time for that.

[Chuckles]

Mother superior: So, just give it your best shot. [Laughs] I’m sure he’ll forgive you if you stumble over a word or two. He did say, “judge not lest he be judged.” Matthew 7, one through three.

Kayla: Um, well, uh, the christmas story’s always been one of my favorites. And, um, it came to pass that–

Mother superior: Lovely of course, but not, I feel, relevant to your situation. How about deuteronomy 31, 6? How does that go again?

Kayla: [Chuckles]

Kristen: You’re telling me that someone made it look like brady killed philip?

Steve: And they think that someone is you.

Kristen: Why would I do something like that to brady? He’s rachel’s father.

Steve: Yes, he’s also the man you loved who had the temerity to choose chloe over you.

Kristen: Uh, so what, to that end, I–I knocked him out and covered him in blood and then i left a weapon at the crime scene?

Steve: Uh, you have to admit, your plans, uh, tend to be a little serpentine.

Kristen: Right, but they’re always in my best interest. There’s no way I would ever send brady to prison for murder. I love him.

Steve: So, you’re telling me you don’t wanna get back at him and chloe for whatever it is you think they’re doing?

Kristen: I’ll admit it bothered me. Once again, that cow had her talons in him.

Steve: Mixed metaphors.

Kristen: Mm. And I wouldn’t have thought twice about framing chloe. But if you think I’d ever send brady to prison, then you don’t know me at all.

Steve: So, you didn’t kill philip?

Kristen: No, I did not kill philip.

Steve: All right then. No harm, no foul. I’ll report back to brady that this was a dead end and that we’re even. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Kristen: It’s a little late for that, don’t you think?

[Tense music]

Nicole: Don’t you think you’re being a little paranoid here thinking that ava is setting you up? We both know how much she loves you.

Rafe: She loved steve too. Look how that turned out.

Nicole: Is there something you’re not telling me?

Rafe: No, no, no, I have– there’s nothing concrete. It’s just I–I get this weird feeling that something is off.

Nicole: Well, I’d say framing you as a dirty cop is a little more than just off.

Rafe: Okay, nicole, think about–I mean, think about it, ava, she’s–she’s got the underworld connections to make it all happen, and I’ve–I’ve had this feeling before. I had this exact same feeling when I thought that she had decapitated duke.

Rafe: Wait, you think ava did that? No, come on, that–that doesn’t make any sense.

Rafe: Unless…

Nicole: Unless what?

Rafe: Unless she knows what we did on that table.

[Dramatic music]

Ava: So? You’re just gonna stare at it or what?

Gwen: I–I’m just–I’m a bit stunned by the likeness.

Ava: Yeah. It’s impressive as hell, i agree. The ghost of xander’s girlfriend past.

[Chuckles] And the idea that one of those could be made into any one of our faces. Oh, god, I would love, love to get my hands on a nicole mask and then just tell rafe that he is a two-timing jerk and, you know, he can go straight to hell.

Gwen: Okay, can we just stay on topic here? ‘Cause, I mean, what–what– what–what would you have me do with this thing?

Ava: I thought it was obvious. I’d have you wear it.

Gwen: [Sighs] And, I mean, you just wear it and–and I just, what, sort of breathe normally?

Ava: Oh, yeah, yeah. There were no breathing issues. There were no issues at all. Just–just the fun of making mischief.

Gwen: Making mischief?

Ava: Mm.

Gwen: Well, I’d say that that’s a slight understatement with what we are considering doing, don’t you?

Ava: Okay, gwen, do you want xander to leave you? Do you relish the thought of him telling you that, “hey, you know what, I’ve enjoyed your company, and, uh, thank you for the memories,” but you know his true love, the one that, uh–who’s a knockout, has a great career, that perfect bod, she’s back, so, buh-bye and have a nice life. I did not think so. But if, you know–if you’re feeling like you got stage freight and you can’t pull it off, well, then–then don’t worry about it.

Gwen: I didn’t say that.

Ava: Well, you seem awfully skeptical.

Gwen: I’m just–I’m lacking a bit of confidence. You–you really think that I can fool xander?

Ava: Ah, sweetie… there’s only one way to find out. And that is not by sitting around shooting the breeze. Come on, put the damn thing on already? What are you waiting for?

Gwen: [Sighs]

Xander: So, what are you waiting for? Pay the man.

Abigail: Me? Why me?

Xander: You have money. I don’T.

Abigail: [Sighs] Xander, I can’t do it.

Xander: Why? Did chad put you on an allowance or something?

Abigail: No, I’m a journalist. I represent “the spectator.” I can’t pay a source for information. It’s totally unethical.

Xander: Then don’t run the story. I mean, what do you care more about, selling papers or finding your cousin? My asthma felt anything but normal.

Steve: I don’t think it’s too late at all. I’ll just make it clear to brady that you had nothing to do with this.

Kristen: I’m still a wanted woman who broke out of prison. So what, you’re just going to go waltzing back into salem knowing my location? I mean, really? You’re even dumber than i thought you were.

Kayla: Deuteronomy 31-6. Of course. “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified of them. For the lord your god goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”

Mother superior: You do know your bible.

Kayla: I told you it brings me great comfort.

Mother superior: I’ve always found it to do so. Actually, I–I just came in to get my rosary.

Kayla: Thanks, mom. All the ccd classes really paid off.

Mother superior: I usually keep this drawer locked. Um, thank you for calling my lapse to my attention.

[Tense music]

Nicole: [Groans] You–you think ava knows we slept together.

Rafe: It’s crossed my mind.

Nicole: [Chuckles] Well, wait a minute, this is– this is ava we’re talking about.

Rafe: Yeah.

Nicole: If she found out, she would’ve been in your face. She doesn’t exactly sit on her feelings.

Rafe: No, you’re right. You’re right, and–and when i told her about the perps, she was completely shocked, and she–she was totally–totally behind me.

Nicole: Okay, that’s a good sign.

Rafe: Yeah. Has she been acting strangely, though? She keeps telling me to invite you over for dinner. I–like, has she done anything weird or–or out of the ordinary?

Nicole: No–

Rafe: No?

Nicole: Oh, then now–now that you mention it…

Rafe: What?

Ava: Come on, gwen. Let’s have a look.

[Dynamic music]

Gwen: So? What do you think? Hey, I thought you said I’d sound just like sarah.

Ava: Don’t get your panties in a bunch. Here. Try this.

Sarah: Do you really think that–oh, my god, it works.

Ava: [Chuckles]

Sarah: I mean, this is what sarah sounds like…

Ava: Mm-hmm…

Sarah: Right?

Ava: Exactly. Exactly. So, now you look perfect. You sound perfect. Oh, xander’s gonna be completely taken in.

Sarah: I don’t know, I–I’m not so sure.

Ava: Well, I fooled you, didn’t I?

Sarah: Yeah, but I don’t know sarah. Xander knows everything about her.

Ava: So did rex, and kristen fooled them both.

Sarah: Yeah, but kristen knows sarah. I’m flying blind here. I don’t think I can fool anyone, let alone xander.

Ava: [Mumbles] Maybe you need to take a test run.

Abigail: This is not about selling papers. I–whether I run this story or not, I can’t give a source money.

Xander: Are you serious? You’re gonna let our only lead on sarah slip through your fingers, because what, it’s unethical?

Abigail: Okay, first of all, I’m not really sure how reliable this lead is…

Ned: Hey.

Abigail: Um, and second of all, I–it’s not about ethics. If anybody found out that I paid for information, whether I run the story or not, it could totally compromise “the spectator.” My folks left me in charge of the paper, and last thing i wanna do is run it into the ground just a few weeks after they’ve left town.

Xander: We both know I don’t have the money.

Ned: Okay, well, thanks for the beer.

Xander: Oh, no, no, yeah, you, uh–I’ll get it. I’ll, uh–I’ll get the money. You just keep him here.

Abigail: Where are you going?

Xander: To the first national bank of kiriakis.

[Solemn music]

It’s my 4:05, the-show-must-go-on,

Maggie: Mmm. Henderson, I love this tea! What is it?

Sarah: I don’t know. I’m not henderson.

Maggie: Oh, my god. Sarah?

[Gasps]

Sarah: [Chuckles]

Maggie: I can’t believe– I can’t believe it’s you.

Sarah: Me either.

[Tense music]

Steve: If you think that I’ll tell everyone where I found you, then there’s an easy fix.

Kristen: So, finally we both can agree.

Steve: Just move on. Take off. Find a convent in, uh, outer mongolia or somewhere.

Kristen: [Laughs] Mongolia, right. You–you think I should move?

Steve: Kristen, you’ve got safehouses all over the place where you can hide out. And I swear I won’t follow you. I got some zip ties here in this drawer.

Kristen: Hm.

Steve: Okay?

Kristen: Ooh. [Gasps] Are we looking for this? Huh? Yeah, see, I was here before, and that’s the first place i looked. Wow, for a P.I., You are very predictable.

[Tongue clicks] So, now I think it’s time for my easy fix.

Rafe: Nicole… ni–nicole, what is it? Hey, did ava say something to you?

Nicole: No, no. But it’s just like you were saying, I–I just got this weird feeling.

Rafe: When?

Nicole: The other day at the square, I–I saw you and ava together. You were hugging.

Rafe: Wait, you were– I didn’t see you.

Nicole: I know. But I think ava saw me. And she smiled at me, but it wasn’t a friendly smile. It was more knowing, like she was in on a secret. And afterward, I just felt very unsettled.

[Knocking on door]

Ava: Hey, nicole, you busy? I was just thinking that–oh… rafe, what a surprise.

Rafe: Yeah, I was just talking about you.

Ava: Yeah, you know, this is great, because now I don’t have to track you down too.

[Dramatic music]

Maggie: Oh, honey. Do you know what a relief it is to see you?

Sarah: I’m sorry I worried you.

Maggie: Why the radio silence? I mean, all this time we thought you were with rex, but when he showed up and he said you hadn’t left town with him, oh, honey, I mean, that was weeks and weeks ago. Ever since, I’ve been–I’ve been calling. Do you know that your phone is disconnected?

Sarah: I–I know, and I can explain.

Maggie: Okay… I’m listening.

Rafe: Track us down? What is that supposed to mean?

Ava: Well, it means that what I have to say concerns the three of us, and the two of you are so high-powered and important, you don’t answer your phones and you don’t return calls. So, if I want to speak to either one of you, I have to track you down and talk to you face to face. And don’t argue with me about that, because I was just here the other day trying to invite you over for dinner, and I knew then if it was gonna happen at all, I’d practically have to tie you down just to get you to agree to a date.

Nicole: It’s just that I–

Ava: No, no, no, no, no, I know, I know, I know. It’s okay. You’re so busy. I get that from him too, all the time. So, no more arguments, okay? The three of us are having dinner together at casa hernandez tonight.

Nicole: Oh, I–I don’t know, ’cause I–

Ava: No, no! [Rolls tongue] No, no, no, no. I am not listening to anymore excuses from either one of you. Make it happen, or you’ll incur the wrath of ava vitali. Seriously? The two of you have been moping around here like a couple of sad sacks. It’s really time the two of you just had some fun.

Nicole: [Chuckles]

Ava: Right?

Nicole: Yeah. Okay.

Rafe: Yeah.

Mother superior: Here you are, my dear.

Kayla: Thank you, mother.

Mother superior: Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go talk to sister marguerite about choir practice. But I’ll see you at dinner.

Kayla: Yes.

Mother superior: Good. You can lead the evening prayers.

[Soft music]

Kayla: “Steve, just had a close call. Still looking for kristen.”

[Phone beeping] Okay, good.

Kristen: “Keep me posted, sweetness.”

[Gags]

[Tense music]

Abigail: You know, you could make this a lot easier if you’d just tell us where you took sarah.

Ned: Easier for you. Uh, I’ll be back in an hour.

Abigail: Where are you going?

Ned: Stretch my legs. Maybe look for a new watch to buy with all that money I’m gonna earn.

Abigail: [Sighs]

Sarah: Mom?

Maggie: Hm?

Sarah: I’m sorry that i wasn’t completely honest with you. I would have told you everything if it hadn’t been for xander.

Maggie: So, you pretended to leave town with rex because of xander?

Sarah: He didn’t leave me a choice. I tried to break off the engagement, but he didn’t believe me.

Maggie: As I see it, you didn’t–you didn’t call off the engagement. You called off the wedding, at almost the last possible moment.

Sarah: Just…I wanted xander out of my life, and I had to make sure that he wouldn’t try to follow me.

Maggie: [Sighs] You were that desperate to get away from him? Why?

Sarah: You know, I don’t– I don’t wanna get into it right now, but let’s just say if i never see xander again, it will be too soon.

Xander: Maggie, I have a favor to ask.

Xander: Sarah?

[ Relaxing music ]

Hope: You know, I could get used to you working from home.

Liam: That was nice. Well, yeah, with my dad out of town, I figured I’d take advantage. Although, it’s been quiet around here, right?

Hope: Well, douglas is doing homework in his room and beth is at her playdate. Actually, are you going to be here for a bit? Because I would like to go check in on my mom.

Liam: Oh yeah. No, no, no. Go. By all means. I know your mom’s ah… facing some challenges since new year’s, so.

Hope: Drinking that night really…really broke her spirit. I am worried about her.

Ridge: Hey. Are you still thinking about taylor? The way she showed up here.

Brooke: I certainly didn’t expect to be answering questions about my well being.

Ridge: So, you don’t believe in her good intentions?

Brooke: I don’t know. I mean, I guess she was genuinely concerned. It was just…unnerving.

Sheila: What–what just happened?

Taylor: You tell me.

Sheila: Well, the vibe in here suddenly shifted, and you’re looking at me like that.

Taylor: Do you want to tell me why you’re so interested in brooke?

Carter: That’s a little strange.

Paris: What?

Carter: I feel like you always have a smile on your face. You have been frowning for like five minutes.

Paris: Have I?

Carter: Seems like you’re deep in thought.

Paris: Yeah, I am a little, I guess.

Carter: About?

Paris: Zende and sequoyah are going out tonight.

Carter: Isn’t that what you wanted? For you guys to be free to see other people. Don’t you want that anymore?

Paris: Everything I said to zende still stands. I’m way too young to be committed like that.

Carter: But?

Paris: I think I was just caught off guard. Walking in on him making plans with someone else. A drop dead, gorgeous model at that.

Carter: I understand.

Paris: Really? And maybe you can help me understand it.

Carter: You’re jealous. You still care about zende.

Taylor: It’s a pretty straightforward question. Why are you so stuck on brooke?

Sheila: I really–I wouldn’t say that I am. I’ve been out of the loop for so long. I–I’m just trying to fit back in so that I can be a part of finn and hayes’s lives. And brooke… happens to be married to hayes’s grandfather.

Taylor: I hope that’s true. I would hate to see you getting obsessed with brooke again.

Hope: Mom’s been really hard on herself. And I just–I’m not sure what to do to help her feel better.

Liam: Well, I don’t know either, but I know your love and support goes a long way.

Hope: I hope so because it’s really all I have. I just–I should go check in.

Liam: Yeah, no. Yeah, I’ll hold down the fort and you… just go be who you are. A loving, caring daughter.

Hope: Just it bothers me, not understanding what it was about that night that triggered her urge to drink.

Brooke: I guess I’m just naive. Thought my desire to drink was behind me.

Ridge: People slip. That’s what meetings are for, right? To help you get back up. You’re doing everything you can. Most important thing is being honest with everybody about what happened that night. (Girl) hey guys, family hike starts… now!

Paris: Zende is a great guy. And we have so much fun together. And we just vibe so easily together. But he thought I was right there with him, ready to walk down the aisle as mr. And mrs., But I’m just not ready. And once you gave me the heads up about the proposal, there were only two options: Turn him down or head him off.

Carter: Makes sense. So, you’re not questioning your decision to keep things casual with zende?

Paris: Oh no. I think… I think I made the best choice for where I am in my life right now. For the both of us. I mean, if zende is looking to be serious with someone, he deserves a woman who wants the same thing. A woman who is as into him as he is into her. There was always something imbalanced about our relationship. I just didn’t think it mattered because we were just dating. Does that make me a bad person?

Carter: Yes. I’m joking.

Paris: Oh.

Carter: No, it doesn’t paris. You’re a beautiful person. You’re just trying to be honest with your feelings. Can’t ask for more than that.

Sheila: I totally understand why you would question my motives. But I…have changed, taylor. I mean, haven’t we all, really? When you’re young, you think that the world owes you everything. That you’re entitled to whatever you want. And that it’s okay to do whatever you have to do to make that happen, regardless of who you hurt. And then time takes a hard look at you and it beats you down. And it takes away what’s most important in life, and it humbles you. And you have to be. Listen to me, here I am explaining the human condition to one of the world’s most renowned psychiatrists. I’m just going to stop. Okay? But I say what I say because I have taken hard knocks and I’ve learned things, like what’s really important in life and that is your family. So now you don’t need to be concerned that I am obsessed with brooke. I just want to prove myself so that I can spend time with my son and my grandson.

Taylor: Oh, I want to believe you, sheila. I really do. But I am still gauging, assessing the situation. I hope that you’re telling the truth and that you have changed. For your sake and for my family’s as well. It would make things a lot less complicated if we could trust your intentions.

Sheila: I so appreciate you, taylor. And your willingness to let me prove myself. I just wish brooke would do the same.

Liam: Ah, doug the daring. You finish your homework?

Douglas: Yep. Where’s mom?

Liam: Oh, she’s up seeing grandma.

Douglas: I saw grandma kissing santa claus.

Ridge: Falling off the wagon is not permanent. You got to climb back on and… stay on. One moment at a time. One day at a time. That’s how it works, right? But I went from zero to 60. In one minute, I was drinking non-alcoholic champagne and the next I was doing vodka shots. And I don’t even remember the moment in between where I possibly could have stopped myself. It doesn’t make sense.

Ridge: It’s not supposed to make sense. It’s an impulse.

Brooke: But why? I haven’t even thought about alcohol, I don’t care when people drink around me. So, what would make this impulse happen? I have no idea.

Ridge: I don’t know either. Something triggered you. We may never find out what it was. Most important thing is you doing the work, right? That’s all you can do.

Brooke: Are you disappointed in me?

Ridge: No. Not one bit.

Brooke: Well, you should be. I’m disappointed in myself. Maybe you should give yourself some credit.

Hope: I actually agree with ridge. Mom, you’ve taken responsibility for everything that happened on new year’s eve. And not keeping it a secret has helped get things back on track. And that and accepting help from the people who love you most. Napoleon was born and raised to conquer.

Carter: Oh. What did I do to desrve that smile?

Paris: Because…you care and you’re supportive. And I–I just really appreciate that.

Carter: Well, don’t tell anyonebut , m one of your biggest fans.

Paris: Oh, and you have been. From the start. Right away, you saw something in me that was worth taking a chance on. Because of you, a door open for me here at forrester. Literally changed my life.

Carter: I’m glad I follow my instincts about you, paris. For reasons both professional and personal.

Paris: Personal?

Carter: I like having you in my life. You’re different.

Paris: Oh. Is that good or bad?

Carter: It’s excellent. I don’t know, you– you intrigued me. I’ve never met someone like you. You know you… you don’t disappoint paris. You’re endlessly fascinating.

Paris: Wow. Thank you.

Carter: Just keeping it real.-Paris: You know… the more I sit with it, the more I believe it’s best for zende to enjoy his freedom.

Carter: Why do you say that?

Paris: To be honest, I can’t stop thinking about our kiss.

Carter: To be honest. I can’t stop thinking about it either.

Sheila: Look, I’m sorry. It is just that brooke is so high and mighty. Talk about hypocrisy. I mean, judging me so harshly and being so unforgiving. It’s like she’s never made a mistake in her life. Or that there’s nothing horrible that she regrets. It’s just I thought you of all people would be annoyed by brooke, just as much as I am.

Hope: In the past, you had lived with your alcoholism alone, for a very long time before any of us knew there was a problem. And that makes it that much harder to ask for help.

Brooke: I was in denial. And then I was ashamed.

Hope: Well, that’s not what is happening here. Mom, you slipped up and you immediately went to a meeting, you called your sponsor and you let ridge and I know about what happened that night. I mean, taking responsibility, that’s half the battle. And keeping it a secret would eat anyone up from the inside.

Ridge: She’right.

Hope: Please, mom, you don’t have to worry. There’s no judgment here.

Ridge: We got you.

Hope: No matter what. There is nothing here but love and support, okay? Love you.

Douglas: I saw grandma kissing santa claus.

Liam: So, buddy. You’ve said that a few times now. Is that like your favorite song this year? Because it’s mommy, I saw mommy.

Douglas: Not the song. I saw grandma kissing santa, for real.

Liam: Oh. Oh, well. Well, when was that? Was that– was it christmas eve?

Douglas: No, new year’s eve.

(Ziploc bag opening) But taylor? You would think should be eager to spill the tea, even with me. I just need to know if she fell into the trap that I set. Now your day of reckoning is coming, brooke. You trust and believe because it’s coming soon.

Ridge: You’re the most remarkable woman I’ve ever known.

Brooke: How can you say that? I’m anything but.

Ridge: At times, you’re a little hard on yourself.

Brooke: Not hard enough.

Ridge: You slipped. It was new year’s and I wasn’t there. And you’re taking all the right steps. You want to get back to where you were. And you say you feel shame, but you shouldn’T. You could have hidden this from me, and you didn’T. You shared with me, with your daughter. Every intimate detail of what happened that night. I’m so proud of you.

Brooke: Drink it up.

Douglas: I saw grandma kissing santa. I did. I swear.

Liam: Okay. All right. Well, I know that’s what you think you saw.

Douglas: I didn’t think it. I saw it. Grandma was kissing santa. Maybe he came back to bring her a present and maybe she was thanking him.

Liam: So–

Hope: Everything okay?

Liam: Yeah, yeah. It’s good. It’s good. It’s just, um… okay. So, you know how douglas has been saying, I saw grandma kissing santa claus lately.

Hope: Sweetie, you’re– you’re misremembering the song. It’s I saw mommy kissing santa claus.

Liam: So yes–

Hope: Not grandma.

Liam: That’s what I said. But I don’t think he’s talking about the song. He says he’s talking about brooke.

Hope: I don’t understand.

Liam: I don’t know. I think maybe douglas is trying to tell us something.

Hope: So, something happened and you saw grandma kissing santa claus?

Douglas: Yes.

Hope: Was this on christmas eve or christmas?

Douglas: New year’s eve.

Hope: And where did you see that?

Douglas: At her house. It was at night.

Liam: Um. Well, I don’t know why you were up there, because I distinctly remember telling you not to go up to the house, right?

Douglas: I know, I’m sorry, but it was only for a minute so I can go get my stuffed bunny. Am I in trouble?

Liam: No, you’re– no, you’re not in trouble, and we’re going to deal with that later. I’m just so happy you’re being honest with us. So just–just um–just– yeah, tell us what happened.

Douglas: Well, I walked up to the living room window, and that’s when I saw it.

Hope: So, you saw grandma kissing someone?

Douglas: Yes, santa.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Nicole decides to try getting rid of the conference table but she can’t move it. Rafe then appears and asks if she needs a hand as he questions what she is doing.

Kayla looks through Mother Superior’s desk to try and find a list of names staying there. Mother Superior then returns to the room and questions what she is doing.

Steve goes back to his hotel and calls Brady to inform him that Kayla is on the inside and he will keep him posted. Kristen then arrives and tells Steve that Kayla will be just fine. Kristen then pulls a gun on Steve and declares it’s time for his last rites. Kristen asks if he’s having deja vu. Kristen brings up Steve catching her off guard at Marlena’s months ago, so now she’s returning the favor.

Abigail tells Ned Granger that they have a few questions about a flight he took last March. Abigail shows him Sarah’s photo and asks if he remembers flying her out of Salem. Ned calls her a pretty girl and not a face you’d ever forget.

Gwen calls Ava and leaves a message, asking where she is because she needs her help since Abigail is not going to rest until she finds Sarah. Gwen worries that it’s only a matter of time before she loses Xander. Gwen tells Ava to call her back as there’s a knock at the door. Gwen then answers the door and is shocked to see Sarah.

Steve tells Kristen that it’s been awhile and asks how she’s been. Kristen warns him not to irritate her more than he already has. Kristen says instead of worrying about Kayla’s safety, he should really be more careful himself. Kristen remarks that Xander really wasted his money. Steve questions what Xander has to do with this. Kristen believes Xander hired him to find her but all anyone’s going to find is a dead, one-eyed priest. Steve clarifies that Xander did not hire him so it’s all one big misunderstanding.

Xander asks if Ned remembers Sarah but he says no. Abigail explains that this flight was last spring right before Ned abruptly quit his lucrative job at DiMera without even bothering to pick up his last check. Ned questions how she knew that. Xander notes that Abigail does seem to know a lot of information about this guy. Abigail responds that she is an investigative reporter and her husband happens to be the CEO of DiMera, so she’s just scratching the surface and hasn’t begun to dig deep but she can find out everything there is to know about this flight including who financed it and who profited. Xander calls that very impressive. Xander asks Ned again about Sarah. Ned asks for a beer so Xander calls to the waitress. Abigail asks Ned again if he recognizes Sarah. Ned admits that she does look a little familiar.

Gwen doesn’t understand how Sarah is there. She says she called the front desk and asked for Xander’s room number, then brings up Kristen stashing her on a desert island. “Sarah” then removes her mask, revealing that it was just Ava wearing a Sarah mask like Kristen had.

Mother Superior tells Kayla that if she was looking for something, all she had to do was ask. Kayla says she didn’t want to bother her and claims she was looking for a bible because she misplaced hers. Mother Superior points out that her bible is right in front of her. Kayla then slips up and mentions her husband which Mother Superior questions.

Kristen tells Steve not to lie to her. Steve assures that he’s not working for Xander, though he did try to hire him but not to find her, to find Sarah Horton. Steve says that’s unless that him finding Sarah would lead to Kristen.

Nicole tells Rafe that she’s trying to get the conference table out of here but she doesn’t think anyone can. Nicole explains that it reminds her of something she doesn’t want to remember which shouldn’t have happened. Rafe says he gets it. Nicole asks what Rafe is doing here.

Gwen questions what in the hell Ava is doing. Ava laughs and admits it was pretty mean but she couldn’t resist. Ava jokes about Gwen’s reaction and explains that it’s a Sarah mask that Kristen sent to her this morning. Gwen asks why she would do that. Ava tells her that Steve is looking for her, so she wanted to know if Ava sent him after her. Gwen still doesn’t understand why Kristen would send her that mask. Ava explains that she assured Kristen that she had nothing to do with Steve and that they don’t want her to be found. Ava adds that she admitted that Xander had gone to Steve and that she mentioned Gwen was freaking out about Sarah. Ava reveals that since they helped Kristen break out of jail, she decided to help them out. Gwen notes that Kristen doesn’t want Sarah found either. Ava tells Gwen that she thinks the Sarah mask is the answer to her prayers.

Xander asks Ned about recognizing Sarah and if she’s the person that he flew out of town on the DiMera jet. Ned supposes it’s possible. Abigail says no one has heard from her in a year, so she demands more information. Xander adds that Sarah is in big trouble so they have to help her. Xander asks if Ned flew Sarah or not. Ned then admits that he did.

Rafe tells Nicole that he doesn’t mean to bother her, but something has come up at work. Nicole questions him wanting to talk to her about police business and suggests he should be talking to another cop. Rafe explains that it actually involves her which she questions. Rafe informs her that the other day, Melinda came to him with two different files with the exact same complaint that he planted evidence to make an arrest so he thinks there’s more than a good chance that someone put them up to it. Nicole tells Rafe that she would never do that to him. Rafe clarifies that he never said it was her. Nicole questions it having to do with her then. Rafe then reveals that he thinks it was Ava because of them.

Gwen calls the Sarah mask a bit creepy and asks how it’s supposed to be the answer to her prayers. Ava informs her that Kristen put a note with the mask with some pretty intense threats about what would happen to them if she was found but says that’s just Kristen being Kristen. Ava adds that Kristen sent the mask so Gwen could get Xander to stop looking for Sarah. Ava instructs Gwen to put the mask on and become Sarah to tell Xander that she wants nothing to do with him and that he needs to stop looking for her, then problem solved and Xander will never want to see Sarah again.

Abigail questions Ned about Sarah hiring him to fly her on a DiMera Jet. Ned confirms that she approached him at the hangar about a freelance gig and said she needed someone to fly her out of Salem. Ned says he agreed to do it for the right price and she definitely had the money. Ned mentions the size of the suitcase she had. Xander cuts him off and asks where he took her. Ned responds that he can’t tell him that because it’s part of the deal. Ned says he didn’t have to tell that he flew her in the first place, but he did because they said she might be in danger. Xander complains that if he doesn’t tell them where she is, they can’t help her. Ned says he’s sorry that he can’t be more forthcoming. Ned then tells them to cough up some cash if they want to know where he took Sarah.

Kristen argues that if Steve was looking for Sarah, there’s no way it would lead him to her. Steve remarks that all roads lead to Rome and in the past, a lot of disappearances have led to Kristen. Kristen tells him to use his head as Sarah went through Hell and still gave her baby back to her so they are almost like sisters. Kristen asks why she would want Sarah to disappear. Steve says God only knows why she does anything. Kristen reminds him that she has a gun. Steve says they have cleared up that he’s not working for Xander and he’s not looking for her, so he asks her to put the gun down. Kristen still wants answers as to why Steve is here if he’s not working for Xander. Kristen thinks Steve came to flush her out of the convent, which she calls her spiritual home. Steve brings up Kristen facing prison time. Kristen again reminds him of her gun. Kristen questions who paid him to come after her. Steve then reveals it was Brady. Kristen questions why in the name of God he would do that. Steve explains that Brady wants to know if she’s the one who framed him for Philip’s disappearance.

Mother Superior reminds Kayla that nuns can’t have husbands. Kayla tries to cover and claims she is a bride of Christ so Jesus is her husband. Mother Superior tells her to take the bible but questions how she is going to read it since she couldn’t see it right in front of her. Kayla claims that she doesn’t need to read it, but just finds comfort in it’s physical presence. Mother Superior guesses that she must have the important passages memorized and then asks Kayla to recite one for her. Kayla says she’d be happy to but she’s not sure she has them verbatim and she doesn’t want to improvise the word of God. Mother Superior says it’s all in translation and tells Kayla to give it her best shot. She then suggests a specific bible verse for Kayla to recite.

Kristen questions Steve telling her that someone made it look like Brady killed Philip. Kristen questions why she would do something like that to Brady when he’s Rachel’s father. Steve brings up Brady choosing Chloe over her and says her plans tend to be serpentine. Kristen says they are always in her best interest while there’s no way she would ever send Brady to prison for murder when she loves him. Steve asks if she doesn’t want to get back at Brady and Chloe. Kristen admits it bothered her that Chloe once again had her talons in Brady and she wouldn’t have thought twice about framing Chloe, but he doesn’t know her at all if he thinks she would ever send Brady to prison. Kristen assures that she did not kill Philip. Steve says alright then no harm, no foul and he will report back to Brady that this was a dead end and they are even. Steve apologizes for the misunderstanding but Kristen says it’s a little late for that.

Nicole thinks Rafe is being a little paranoid in thinking that Ava is setting him up when they both know how much she loves him. Rafe brings up how it turned out when Ava loved Steve too. Nicole asks if there’s something he’s not telling her. Rafe says he just has a weird feeling that something is off. Nicole thinks framing him would be more than just off. Rafe talks about Ava having the underworld connections to make it happen. Rafe adds that he had the same feeling when he thought Ava decapitated Duke. Nicole argues that makes no sense but Rafe says that’s unless she knows what they did on the conference table.

Ava asks if Gwen is just going to stare at the Sarah mask. Gwen is stunned by the likeness. Ava agrees that it’s impressive and brings up the idea that a mask could be made of anyone of their faces. Ava wishes she could get a Nicole mask to tell Rafe to go to Hell. Gwen questions what she is supposed to do with the Sarah mask. Ava tells her to wear it. Gwen asks if she’s just supposed to breathe normally. Ava assures there was no issues at all. Ava asks if Gwen wants Xander to leave her for Sarah. Ava tells her not to worry about it if she doesn’t think she can pull it off. Gwen says she’s just lacking confidence and asks if Ava really thinks she can fool Xander. Ava says there’s only one way to find out and instructs Gwen to put the mask on as she questions what she is waiting for.

Xander instructs Abigail to pay Ned since she has money and he doesn’t. Abigail responds that she can’t since she’s a journalist for the Spectator so it’s unethical to pay a source for information. Xander tells her not to run the story then. Xander questions if she cares more about selling papers or finding her cousin.

Steve tells Kristen that it’s not too late and he can just tell Brady that she had nothing to do with this. Kristen reminds him that she’s still a wanted woman who broke out of prison. Kristen asks if Steve is just going to go back to Salem, knowing her location, and calls him dumber than she thought.

Kayla successfully recites the passage of Deuteronomy, which impresses Mother Superior. She says that she just came back for her rosary and remembers to lock her drawer this time.

Nicole questions Rafe thinking that Ava knows they slept together. Rafe says it crossed his mind. Nicole argues that if Ava found out, she would’ve been in his face as she doesn’t sit on her feelings. Rafe agrees and says that she was completely shocked and behind him about the case against him. Rafe asks Nicole if Ava has been acting strange and brings up how Ava keeps telling him to invite Nicole over for dinner. Rafe asks if Ava has done anything weird or out of the ordinary. Nicole says no but then says now that he mentions it…

Gwen puts on the Sarah mask. Ava fixes it for her so that Gwen also sounds exactly like Sarah. Ava says that Xander will be completely taken in. Gwen remains unsure. Ava points out that she fooled her. Gwen points out that she doesn’t know Sarah while Xander knows everything about her. Ava remarks that Rex did too and Kristen fooled them both. Gwen argues that Kristen knows Sarah while she’s flying blind and doesn’t think she can fool anyone. Ava suggests she take a test run.

Abigail argues that this is not about selling papers as she can’t give a source money either way. Xander asks if she’s going to let their only lead slip through their fingers. Abigail is unsure how reliable this lead is and repeats that it’s not about ethics. Abigail worries that it could totally compromise the Spectator when her parents left her in charge of the paper, so she doesn’t want to run it in to the ground after only a few weeks. Xander notes that he doesn’t have the money but insists that he will get it. Xander instructs Abigail to keep Ned there as he exits the Pub.

Gwen as “Sarah” goes to the Kiriakis Mansion and shocks Maggie. Maggie hugs her and says she can’t believe it’s her.

Steve tells Kristen that if she thinks he’ll tell everyone where she is, she can just move on and find a convent in Mongolia or somewhere. Steve argues that she can hide out anywhere and swears that he won’t follow her. Steve mentions having zip ties in the drawer and opens it up but Kristen reveals that she had already stolen his gun from that drawer. Kristen remarks that he’s very predictable for a private investigator. Kristen declares that it’s time for her easy fix as she holds both guns on Steve.

Rafe asks Nicole if Ava said something to her. Nicole says it’s just like he was saying as she just got this weird feeling the other day in the town square as she saw Rafe and Ava hugging. Rafe notes that he didn’t see her. Nicole thinks Ava saw her and smiled at her but it wasn’t a friendly smile, but more like she was in on a secret. Nicole admits she felt very unsettled afterwards. Ava then arrives, asking if Nicole is busy and then sees Rafe and says what a surprise. Rafe responds that he was just talking about her. Ava says this is great as now she doesn’t have to track him down too.

Maggie tells “Sarah” what a relief it is to see her. “Sarah” apologizes for worrying her. Maggie questions the radio silence as they thought she was with Rex and then he showed up and said she hadn’t left town with him. Maggie says she’s been calling ever since for weeks and now her phone is disconnected. “Sarah” claims that she can explain, so Maggie says she’s listening.

Rafe asks Ava what she means by tracking them down. Ava responds that what she has to say concerns the three of them and complains that Rafe and Nicole aren’t answering their phones or returning calls, so she has to track them down to talk to them face to face. Ava adds that she was just there to invite Nicole over for dinner and she knew she’d have to tie her down to get her to agree. Ava knows Nicole is so busy and says she gets that from Rafe all the time too. Ava declares no more arguments, the three of them are having dinner together at Rafe’s house tonight. Nicole tries to speak but Ava says she’s not listening to any more excuses from either of them. Ava tells them to make it happen or they will incur the wrath of Ava Vitali. Ava argues that they have been moping around like two sad sacks, so it’s time they have some fun.

Mother Superior hands Kayla her bible and says she will see her at dinner, where she can lead the evening prayers. After Mother Superior exits, Kayla shuts the door and pulls out her phone to text Steve that she just had a close call and that she’s still looking for Kristen. Kayla gets a text back from Steve, saying all is good on his end.

Kristen has Steve’s phone and is wearing his eye patch as she texts Kayla. Kristen then looks down at Steve unconscious on the floor while the two guns lay nearby.

Abigail tells Ned that he could make this a lot easier if he just told them where he took Sarah. Ned says that would be easier for her. Ned decides he’ll be back in an hour as he’s going to stretch his legs and jokes about all the money he’s going to earn as he exits the Pub.

“Sarah” tells Maggie that she’s sorry for not being completely honest with her and that she would’ve told her everything if it wasn’t for Xander which Maggie questions. “Sarah” says Xander didn’t give her a choice and wouldn’t believe her breaking off the engagement. Maggie complains that she called off the wedding at the last possible moment. “Sarah” says she wanted Xander out of her life and had to make sure he wouldn’t try to follow her. Maggie questions why she was that desperate to get away from Xander. “Sarah” doesn’t want to get into it right now but says if she never sees Xander again, it would be too soon. Xander then enters the room and is shocked to see “Sarah”.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Rey: Ooh! We should do that more often.

Sharon: Yes, absolutely. Thank you for braving the museum with me.

Rey: Are you kidding? I loved it. Besides, I figured I should learn more about art since noah’s living here now. Although none of those paintings were as beautiful as you are.

Sharon: Aww.

Rey: [ Chuckles ]

Sharon: Oh, hey, nick.

Nick: Hey.

Sharon: What are you doing here?

Nick: You guys look like you’re in a pretty good mood.

Rey: We are.

Sharon: Having some french food, walking through a museum — it can do wonders for your mind-set.

Nick: Well, don’t mind me. I’m just sitting here minding my own business, waiting for noah.

Sharon: Oh. What are you two meeting about? The job offer?

Nick: Hey.

Noah: Hey.

Sharon: Oh, great. Now both of you can fill us in.

Noah: On what?

Sharon: On what you’re meeting with your dad about.

Noah: Well, first off, nosy. Secondly, I think I need to talk to dad in private for a sec.

Sharon: Okay. No problem.

Phyllis: Hey, summer. How’s it going? Yeah, you’re preparing for your big meeting? You’re gonna do great. Yeah. Hey, you know what? I have a question. I heard that jack is in milan doing some collab with kyle? Oh, okay. No, don’t worry it. Don’t worry about it. I know that you — you have a big day. Alright, I’ll talk to you later. Okay. Bye, honey.

Nikki: Why, victoria, you’ve done something new with your hair.

Ashland: Well, thank you for noticing. I had to get the pitch deck for the dubai project.

Nikki: Well, I need to speak to both of you anyway. Can we meet later and talk about this month’s numbers from asia?

Ashland: Well, that can be arranged, assuming you’d be willing to be flexible on time. I have a potential new senior-level hire to meet with later.

Nikki: Ah. I didn’t realize we had an opening.

Ashland: Yeah, an executive i knew in new york is looking for a new role, and I think he’d be a great catch for newman/locke and a perfect fit for the vice president of strategy.

Nikki: Uh-huh. The only thing is, that position isn’t available. Regina’s doing an excellent job.

Ashland: I disagree. Her ideas are dated, and she’s too risk-averse for my liking. I think it’s time to offer her a golden parachute.

Nikki: Does victoria know about this?

Ashland: Oh, she doesn’t need to be bothered with the staffing issues. She’s got the big picture to consider. And I’m happy to, uh, handle all the pesky details.

Devon: I just can’t believe that things have gotten to this point with abby. It’S… I’ve tried to be as fair as i can to her and chance, but… I love dominic and I want to have a bigger role in his life. But this whole thing is just turning into a mess.

Amanda: You’re gonna have to let this go for now. There’s just not more that you can do until I file a petition with the courts. Listen. I know this is weighing on you. But if you really want to proceed, you’re gonna need to find a way to make peace with your decision.

Abby: Christine, hi. It’s abby. I need you to call me as soon as you get this. Thanks.

Chance: Alright, dom’s all tucked in and sound asleep. How you doing?

Abby: Not great. I know you wanted me to wait to call christine, but I think we need to know what our legal options are, so I left her a message.

Chance: Okay. Well, I think we should talk about this before she gets back to us.

Abby: We’re supposed to be focusing on bonding with our son, and suddenly it feels like everything could fall apart. A lot of people think dealing with copd

Abby: I can’t wrap my head around devon doing this, bringing lawyers into this. We all signed the original document so we could avoid a conflict like this once the baby was born. And now he wants to just tear it up and take us to court?

Chance: I know, but devon did come to us first, without an attorney, asking us if he could change the original agreement.

Abby: And I haven’t forgotten that. But I told him I didn’t feel comfortable with making those changes. I didn’t think he was gonna take it this far. Oh, maybe it’s because he has a lawyer literally in his house pushing him to do this.

Chance: No, don’t blame amanda. This is not her fault. I mean, I knew devon’s feelings weren’t gonna change. I knew it.

Abby: You know, you aren’t as upset as I am about this.

Chance: I am just as thrown as you are by this. Trust me. I’m just trying to see it from all these different angles, you know, yours and mine, dominic’s, and devon’s, alright? I just — I don’t see an easy answer here.

Abby: There’s only one answer, and the answer is no.

Noah: So, I’ve made a decision about your job offer, and I’m pretty excited about it. I want to make a difference in the world. I want to help people, and i really admire everything that you do, so… I’d like to accept the offer.

Nick: My man!

[ Both laugh ] It’s, like, a dream come true for me, for you to come work with me again, bud.

Noah: Me too. But there is one stipulation. I still need time to work on my art. I don’t want to grind away 24/7 so that the work consumes me like it does grandpa and aunt victoria.

Nick: I feel you. Trust me — the vibe at new hope is way different than at newman because we focus on the people, not the profits.

Noah: So, where do we get started?

Nick: I think the best thing we can do is just have you come to work with me, hang out, just kind of get the lay of the land, and we will figure out the best way to use your abilities. I mean, who knows? Maybe we can even have new hope find some way to maximize on your artistic talents.

Noah: Sounds good. I’m up for anything.

[ Chuckles ]

Rey: Oh, you are dying to know what’s going down out there.

Sharon: Nope. I already know. Noah accepted nick’s offer.

Rey: You could hear that from in here?

Sharon: I can tell by the look on noah’s face. I’m happy he and nick are bonding like that. It means that noah’s gonna stick around, hopefully for a very long time. It just feels like life is exactly the way that it should be.

Rey: [ Chuckles ]

Nikki: I’m not surprised that you and victoria enjoy working together. The two of you had chemistry from the moment you met, even though you were still married.

Ashland: Well, victoria — she has, uh, turned out to be the missing piece in my life. She gives me purpose. I adore her.

Nikki: Oh, I can tell. You are as enamored of her now as you were on your wedding day, but —

Ashland: But what?

Nikki: I just wonder if the two of you have moved past the honeymoon phase of your business partnership.

Ashland: Not at all, no. I’m continuously impressed and excited by her brilliance.

Nikki: No, what I mean is, have the two of you talked about areas that overlap versus areas that are off limits?

Ashland: You’re wondering if I jumped the gun by reaching out to my colleague in new york, if I was trying to make my mark by bringing in my own people.

Nikki: Well, were you?

Victoria: Oh. Was I left off the invite list for this meeting? Napoleon was born and raised to conquer.

Nikki: Don’t worry. We didn’t have anything scheduled.

Victoria: Well, then why do i feel like I walked in on something?

Ashland: Probably because that I just understood from my conversation with nikki that i may have overstepped. I was planning to meet with a colleague who I think would make a brilliant new vice president of strategy.

Victoria: As opposed to regina?

Ashland: It’s only a preliminary conversation, nothing concrete. If it’s not an option for you, I’ll cancel. No harm, no foul.

Victoria: Well, I mean, if it’s somebody that you respect and they’re available, then by all means, you should meet with them. Maybe you can discuss how he might fit into our organization. Well, you know, having a team comprised of talented people that we can trust is key.

Ashland: That’s great. I’m glad we discussed it. Nikki, please let my assistant know when you want to go over the asia numbers, and I’ll be there.

Victoria: Well, go ahead. Say whatever it is you want to say.

Sharon: I am so thrilled you’re taking the job, noah.

Noah: Yeah, me too. I was in need of something new, and I think working for a nonprofit will be a good change of pace.

Nick: Well, I promise you you’re gonna get a whole different feeling when you know your work is geared just toward helping people.

Sharon: I have no doubt you’re gonna get a lot out of it. So, are you ready to get to work?

Noah: I think so.

Tessa: Hi. I am so glad that I ran into you. Can I borrow him for a sec?

Sharon: Sure. I think we’re all done here for now.

Nick: He is all yours.

Noah: So, what’s up?

Tessa: I have surprise for you.

Devon: I can’t stop thinking about my conversation with abby. You know, no matter what I said, she — she couldn’t understand my concern for dominic. And I don’t know what I can say to get through to her now.

Amanda: Well, I think that no matter what you say, she’s always gonna feel like you’re trying to take away her family, or at least her vision of what that should be.

Devon: Yeah, I know, and I’m not. I’m not trying to do that at all. I’m talking about having shared custody where we’re all involved in raising dominic, you know?

Amanda: Yeah.

Devon: And she’s said to me numerous times how she wants me to have a major role in his life. And I know that this is a little step past that, but how is it a bad thing for dominic?

Amanda: I think, you know, just with a little time and distance, once the shock of it goes away, she’ll recover, you know? But what I witnessed today was just a woman who felt… betrayed.

Devon: Yeah, I know. And now I’m gonna risk losing my best friend so I can be a father to my son.

Abby: Dominic is happy here with us. We are his parents. And, frankly, I was pretty shocked by some of the things devon said.

Chance: Like what?

Abby: He said he sees himself as dominic’s father.

Chance: He said that?

Abby: I’m sorry if he feels like that’s what his role is, but dominic already has a father and a mother and a home.

Chance: Except that I missed out on a lot of time with him.

Abby: Yeah, but you’re making up for it right now. And there is no reason for someone to rip our son away from us for any amount of time.

Chance: I hear you. I do. I really hear you. And if devon proceeds with all this legal stuff, then we will fight it. We will. But, abby, I’m just scared that the final decision’s gonna be made by a judge who doesn’t know us, who doesn’t know dominic, and who doesn’t know devon.

Abby: That’s fine. That’s fine because I have every confidence that we will win. Devon signed away his legal parental rights. He knew what he was signing. He knew the repercussions.

Chance: But that was before the baby was born. He didn’t know how he would feel now.

Abby: Okay, yes, I know! I know that devon bonded with dominic! But devon knows what a crucial time this is for our family. You’re learning how to bond with our son. And, what, now he wants us to focus on some sort of legal battle?

Chance: He’d probably use that against us in court.

Abby: Use what?

Chance: The fact that i haven’t bonded with my own son.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Phyllis: Hey, nick.

Nick: Hey. How’s everything?

Phyllis: You know. Do you have a minute to talk?

New vicks convenience pack.

Phyllis: So, how was your visit to milan? How was your birthday?

Nick: It was — it was great. Summer and kyle just wined and dined me the whole time. It was awesome. Then, uh, I got home, and the family threw me a little party.

Phyllis: Oh. That’s nice. Was adam there?

Nick: Uh, I should have been more specific when I said “family.” It was just, uh, the kids and, um, sharon and mariah and tessa.

Phyllis: Oh. That family. Of course.

Nick: Yeah. Uh, it was — it was fun.

Phyllis: How’s christian?

Nick: He’s good. I feel like he’s getting taller every week.

Phyllis: It’s the age.

Nick: He finally stopped asking when you were gonna come over and play video games with him.

Phyllis: Wow. I-I didn’t even think he’d notice that I wasn’t there.

Nick: Yeah, I mean, that’s the way kids are, right? I mean, they get used to someone coming around a lot, and then they…notice when they stop. Christian gets it, though. Uh, it just means I have to up my gaming skills.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Are we okay?

Nick: Yeah, we’re good. Uh…I guess my food’s ready. Enjoy your night.

Amanda: You know, abby is really hurt, and her feelings are raw right now, but I have no doubt that your friendship will prevail in the end.

Devon: Well, I wish I could be that optimistic.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Amanda: One second, okay?

[ Sighs ] Hey.

Phyllis: Hey, lady. I was, um, thinking maybe we could grab a drink together with your favorite gal pal.

Amanda: I, uh — I can’t right now.

Phyllis: Oh, okay. I was just hoping to — to talk to a friend. That’s all.

Amanda: I know. I’m sorry. I’m just in the middle of something at the moment.

Devon: Hey. You don’t have to stay for me. You can go.

Amanda: Are you sure?

Devon: Yeah. Positive.

Amanda: Okay, um, I’ll meet you in a few.

Phyllis: Oh, great. I’ll meet you at the grand phoenix.

Amanda: Okay. Bye. Are you sure you’re okay?

Devon: Yeah, I’m fine. I am.

Amanda: Alright. Well, I won’t be late, okay?

Devon: Okay. Love you.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Amanda: Yeah. Love you, too. Oh, and I will get that on the way out.

Devon: Appreciate it.

Amanda: Mariah. Hi. Um, are you here to see devon?

Mariah: Yeah. I am. Is this a bad time?

Amanda: No, no. This is a good time. You two will have a lot to talk about.

Devon: Hey. Come in.

Amanda: See you later.

Devon: Okay. [ Smooches ] I love you.

Amanda: Yeah. Love you, too.

Devon: Hello.

Mariah: So, I talked to abby.

Devon: You did? Was that before or after I told her I’m taking her to court?

Mariah: What? No, she didn’t say anything about that.

Devon: Well, yeah, since, uh, she and chance refuse to even consider to adjust our agreement, I don’t have another choice.

Mariah: Devon, come on. This is crazy. How do we fix this? Because you can’t take abby and chance to court.

Devon: I thought you of all people would understand why this fight’s so important.

Abby: Well, you’re right about where devon’s head is. He’s worried about your emotional state. And he says that you have some recovery to do that might interfere with you being a present father to dominic at the moment. Chance, he’s wrong! He’s wrong. I didn’t even want to tell you because I didn’t want to upset you. I didn’t want to give it credence by repeating it.

Chance: [ Sighs ] I’d like to hear what else devon had to say.

Abby: He’s confident that you’re gonna make a full recovery from all of the trauma that you went through. But dominic needs a father, a father right now who’s gonna be present. Chance, listen to me! He’s completely wrong-headed!

Chance: Is he, though, abby? I mean, is he? I think we’re gonna have to consider what he’s saying… and consider the fact that he might be right.

Find your rhythm.

“The young and the restless”

will continue. I’ve got moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Victoria: Mom, I know you’re just being cautious, but ashland and I are still working out how we communicate in our professional relationship, and it takes time.

Nikki: Oh, I understand that. That’s something I don’t think your father and I ever did work out when we both worked for the same company.

Victoria: Well, when ashland takes the lead on something, it’s not as though he’s leaving me out of the loop or not considering my opinions.

Nikki: That all sounds very rational, but what I want to know is, are you comfortable with that dynamic?

Victoria: It’s new territory for me. The only person that I know as single-minded as ashland is dad, and with him I was just always his junior partner. But at newman/locke, I am most assuredly ceo. It’s not a shared position of power, and I know where I stand. And ashland knows that I trust him and I rely on him.

Nikki: Okay, good. I’ll let you get some work done, and I will get back to you with those asia numbers.

[ Door closes ]

Devon: I’m not trying to hurt anyone or cause trouble by doing this. ‘Cause I’ve given abby and chance many opportunities to come to some kind of agreement with me, and they’ve shot me down every single time. So, all I’m doing is trying to guarantee that I can always be there to protect dominic if he needs me. I think that he deserves that, and so do I.

Mariah: And you feel like you don’t already have that.

Devon: Not when they can just shut the door on me seeing him like they did, no. It’s — abby has always said from the very beginning we’re the “baby chancellor crew,” right?

Mariah: Yeah. Yeah, she has. She’s also allowed us to be a part of his life.

Devon: I don’t know if I’d say “allowed.” I mean, it’s — we haven’t really had a choice. We helped bring him into this world. She made us the godparents. She left him with me when she went to spain. We’ve — we’ve literally been a part of every step of that baby’s life.

Mariah: We have. I know as well as anyone how deep that parental attachment can be. There was a period of time where I couldn’t envision getting through the day without seeing my little bowie. But…he’s not my bowie. He’s their dom. And I’ve had to come to terms with that. But I’m a lot more balanced now.

Devon: Yeah. No, I — I — I completely understand what you’re saying, but if you take the emotion out of this, it still comes down to dominic’s well-being. And I know that you and I both want what’s best for him, and I’m worried that he’s not getting that at home because chance is dealing with a lot that’s preventing him from being fully present. And those aren’t my words. Those are his. He admitted it to me and to abby. And I’m concerned that his issues may even go deeper than what he’s willing to say.

Mariah: But isn’t there a way to work out a compromise without bringing judges or lawyers into this?

Devon: Mariah, if you know of one, then please tell me ’cause everything I’ve tried hasn’t worked so far. This is literally my last resort. And, believe me, I am well aware that things can get ugly and probably will get ugly, especially when people start choosing sides.

Noah: [ Laughs ]

Tessa: Ta-da! My album is ready to go out to the masses!

Noah: Your first lp. This is big. I’m proud of you.

Tessa: Well, you better be at the launch party because the album cover that you designed will be integral to its success because it is so beautiful. Look at it.

Noah: You made it easy.

[ Sighs ]

Sharon: Can I get you guys anything?

Noah: Nah, I think we’re good.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Forgot my phone.

Rey: Oh, it’s hard to survive without one of those.

Nick: Sad but true, huh?

Rey: So, sharon’s over the moon now that noah’s decided to stay in town and work with you, huh?

Nick: Yeah. You know, I guess it’s that parental urge. You always want your kids to feel confident and like they’re living their own lives. I guess it’s a bonus if they do it with you close by.

Rey: I can imagine. Everything alright?

Sharon: Yeah. I’m fine. I just, uh, realized that I need to do some restocking.

Well, well, well.

Look at you.

Amanda: Hello, hello.

Phyllis: Ugh, thank you for meeting me.

Amanda: Are you kidding me? I needed a break.

Phyllis: Is something wrong?

Amanda: No, no. It’s just there’s a lot going on at home, so I have to get back, but I am definitely in the mood for a drink.

Phyllis: Ah. Yeah. You know, we have to hang out more — not just drinks. We have to do a girls’ weekend.

Amanda: Yeah?

Phyllis: Yeah.

Amanda: Do you want to do something like that?

Phyllis: Yeah.

Amanda: What, like wine tasting, or maybe we can do some hot springs — or skiing. I love skiing.

Phyllis: Skiing? Ohh. You do? Ohh, okay. Um, no, not for me.

Amanda: Okay.

Phyllis: [ Laughs ] You can do that with someone else.

Amanda: [ Laughing ] Okay.

Phyllis: Just…

[ Sighs ] I’m afraid I’m gonna spin out of control.

Amanda: Why?

Phyllis: I just didn’t realize the way that I fill all my free time was with my daughter or nick, and now, well, I mean, nick isn’T…

Amanda: Aw. What about jack?

Phyllis: Well, I mean, jack is radio-silent right now. I had to find out from lauren that he’s in milan doing some collaboration with kyle.

Amanda: Well, you found out from lauren because she’s your friend, and I’m here because I’m your friend. So you’re not completely alone in the world.

Phyllis: I know. Thank you. And I love and value both of you. I really do. But I got to figure out how to fill my free time with someone who isn’t just, you know, a friend or with work or an ex-husband.

Amanda: Yeah, you don’t strike me as the yoga type.

Phyllis: No, definitely not the yoga type. And, you know, picking up a hobby isn’t a really great idea for me because it would be something like computer hacking or some other type of thing that I shouldn’t tell a lawyer.

Amanda: [ Chuckles ] You know, you allude to all of these sketchy things that you’ve done in your past, and part of me is curious, and then another part of me thinks that you are just completely exaggerating.

Phyllis: Yeah. I’m exaggerating.

Amanda: [ Chuckles ]

Phyllis: Something has to change for me…for the better. Or else I’m gonna spin out. And I’ll start creating a lot of chaos.

Abby: Devon is wrong about you and dominic. The more time that you spend with our son — it’s helping you get re-acclimated to being back at home. You said it yourself. You said that you’re feeling more connected, more settled. You said there was nothing to worry about.

Chance: I lied, abby. I lied to you.

Abby: Okay. Why?

Chance: Because! Because all of this has been so confusing and so frustrating. I mean, I want this to work more than anything. I want it to work out so easily, but I can’T. I can’t make it work.

Abby: It’s just gonna take a little bit more time.

Chance: No, abby. Abby, abby, I love you for having this undying faith in me. But it’s not — I — there is something inside of me that won’t allow this to work. It won’t let me bond with dominic. I mean, just today somebody asked to see a picture of him, and I didn’t have one picture of him on my phone. Why not? I bet devon has a hundred. I just don’t know what it is. I feel so disconnected. And I love him. I love him so much. I love that little boy. I really do. But is that enough? It’s just not gonna work. I can’t build that kind of connection. I can’t have that connection like he does with devon. And doesn’t he deserve that kind of relationship?

Noah: So, how are the adoption plans going?

Tessa: Oh, well, we’re still pretty early on in the process.

Noah: Are you guys thinking about getting married in the meantime?

Tessa: You know, we haven’t discussed it quite yet. I mean, we’ve talked about it in the past.

Noah: You think you’re ready for that next step?

Tessa: Yeah, I am. I mean, mariah and I have been through so much, and we’re stronger than ever. So I figure, why not start our baby adventure by making a forever commitment to each other?

Noah: Yeah. Yeah, I totally agree. There’s — there’s no reason not to.

[ Door opens ]

Mariah: Hey, guys.

Tessa: Hi.

Mariah: What’s going on?

Noah: Tessa was just showing me her new album. It’s very exciting.

Mariah: Uh, yeah. I’ve — I’ve seen it. It’s amazing. Great job.

Tessa: Are you okay?

Mariah: I am. I just had a difficult conversation.

Noah: I’m sorry. Is there anything I can do?

Mariah: No. Thank you, though. Actually, is it okay if I talk to tessa in private for a minute?

Noah: Yeah. Yeah, of course.

Sharon: Are you alright?

Noah: Yeah, I’m — I’m fine. Why wouldn’t I be? Don’t touch anything.

[ Indistinct conversation ]

Noah: Mom, you are misreading the situation, alright? Things are good.

Sharon: You sure?

Noah: Yeah. I swear. Everything’s fine. I’ll see you later, okay?

Victoria: Oh. How was your meeting?

Ashland: Excellent. There are a number of avenues ted might want to pursue. But I think it’s unlikely that he’d be willing to relocate, unless the package and the position were exceptional.

Victoria: I don’t think I can make that commitment at this time.

Ashland: I understand.

Victoria: Do you think that maybe he’d be willing to do some short-term consulting? We could certainly make that worth his while.

Ashland: That’s perfect. I’m glad that nikki’s concerns didn’t sour you on ted before you even met him.

Victoria: Oh. I’m sorry. My mother — she doesn’t mean to be negative. She just wants to make sure that I’m on the same page with you. And I assured her that we are.

Ashland: Good. I would hate for her to have any ongoing concerns because I know she would drive you crazy.

Victoria: [ Laughs ] Our work and our private lives are happy and in balance.

Ashland: I’d like to think that we are totally in sync.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Phyllis: Hey, honey! How’d your meeting go? Wait. Wait. Summer. Oh, you — you must be so excited. But stop. Stop. You’re talking a mile a minute.

[ Chuckles ] Are you — wait. Wait a second. Wait a second. You have an offer for me? To work at marchetti? What kind of offer is it?

Amanda: Hey.

Devon: Hey.

Amanda: What’s going on? Did something happen since i left?

Devon: No, no, nothing happened. I’m just thinking about my conversation with mariah, trying to process everything she told me.

Amanda: What did she say?

Devon: She doesn’t think that I should take abby and chance to court.

Amanda: Really? Um, I’m a bit surprised by that.

Devon: Yeah, I’m surprised, too. She made some pretty good points, and I could see her point of view. I could even see where abby and chance are coming from. But what it really made me realize is how many people it’s gonna affect if I follow through with this.

Amanda: Just keep dominic as your top priority, and everything will be okay.

Devon: That’s what I intend to do.

Amanda: You can’t go wrong if you follow your heart.

Abby: I know that that you’re feeling insecure right now. I know that, but… I think it’s natural and I think that you’re gonna get over it.

Chance: Hey. You’re not hearing me, okay? Listen to me. Listen to these questions I’m asking you, for dominic’s sake, not mine, okay?

Abby: Okay. Um, I’ll try.

Chance: Abby, I am scared that our little boy is missing out, being around all my confusion, instead of devon’s certainty. I mean, yes, he’s allowed to come visit whenever, but that’s not the same, abby. It’s not. That leaves all the heavy lifting to us, all the parenting.

Abby: And so?

Chance: And so I think devon deserves more than that. I think dominic deserves more than that. I mean, devon has a direct line into his heart. We’ve all seen it. They are blood. And what I’m asking you is — is it right for us to stand in the way of that?

Victor: Now, you agree that we have a lot of plans for our company, right? You also agree that we accomplished what we set out to do with billy boy, namely bring him to his knees.

Adam: Trust me, I’m more than ready to wash my hands of billy. Focus on the job and all the responsibility that you’ve given me.

Victor: Talking about that, son, I am going to take a more active role around here.

Devon: This is something i feel I need to do for dominic and myself.

Abby: I thought you were my friend. And now you’re taking us to court to spend more time with our son? After everything we’ve been through, how could you do something so hurtful?

Devon: I’m not trying to hurt you. I’m really not trying to do that, okay? And it’s because of everything that we’ve all been through that I feel I need to do this. Chance, you’ve been struggling since you’ve been back home, right? And I don’t think that you were lying when you admitted that to me.

Chance: Okay, we understand how you feel. But there’s no need to take this to the extreme.

Devon: I mean, I didn’t think it was extreme to ask for arranged visits with dominic. But last time I spoke to you, abby, you know, you made it very clear that you guys are completely against anything like that. So…I didn’t know what I was supposed to do. You guys really didn’t leave me any choice but to pursue legal action to get shared custody.

Ashland: Oh, that’s great. Thanks. Cheers, love.

Victoria: Cheers.

Adam: [ Scoffs ]

Ashland: Oh, yeah.

Victoria: How you feeling?

Adam: So, I guess congratulations are in order.

Victoria: For what?

Adam: For chanccomm. I hear jill accepted your offer.

Ashland: That’s right. She did.

Adam: Well, you know, it’s never over until it’s over.

Victoria: But this is over. I mean, at least as far as us closing the deal on chanccomm.

Adam: Oh. What else do you have in the works?

[ Keys clatter ]

Lily: Billy? Billy! Hey! Oh, my god, I didn’t think you’d be here so soon.

Billy: I missed you so much, I had to come home early, wanted one more special night with you before your big day tomorrow.

Lily: Ooh. Well, tell me everything. What happened with jill? I mean, did you guys patch things up? Like, I’m working under the assumption that we’re both starting new jobs.

Billy: Okay, just slow down, my little tiger lily.

Lily: Well, tell me if you guys made peace or not. Are you coming to chancellor as coo? What happened?

Billy: I will answer all your questions. But first…

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Clerk: Hello, how can I?

Abby: Chance and amanda, can you give me a few moments alone with devon so we can talk? I think we need to speak one-on-one.

Chance: I don’t think that’s a very good idea, abby. Everyone’s feeling very raw right now, and I would hate to see things escalate. I think we need to all talk about this together, right?

Amanda: Yeah, chance is right. That’s the reason why we waited for him to get here, so I think it’s best if we stay.

Abby: Actually, amanda, it’s your presence that I’m concerned about. I mean, you are devon’s lawyer, right? I can call christine. I can have her come join us. Or I can speak with devon alone.

Chance: Abby, please —

Abby: No, no, no. I’m not gonna do any deal-making or negotiating. I just need to speak with my friend. I need him to explain to me what his motivation is for doing this, and I don’t think he can do that with everyone here.

Devon: That’s totally fine, abby. Let’s — let’s talk, just the two of us, ’cause I never wanted to involve lawyers, ever. So, maybe we can work something out.

Chance: You sure?

Abby: I’m positive. I hope you can understand.

Chance: Yeah, whatever you need. I got you.

Chance: Amanda, would you mind talking privately with me, as well?

Amanda: Uh…

Chance: Don’t get the wrong idea. I don’t want to talk to you as devon’s lawyer. I was hoping I could talk to you as his partner, someone who understands where his head is right now.

Amanda: Uh, okay. Yeah, let’s grab a coffee.

Chance: Alright.

Abby: You said you thought pursuing shared custody was a bad idea. So, what changed your mind?

Adam: So, dad tells me that you are taking credit for putting a stop to billy’s abandoned and pitiful plot to trick newman media into libeling him.

Victoria: Yes. I got him to back down.

Adam: Mm. So, I’m curious — how did you find out what he was up to? Did billy try to bring you in on it?

Victoria: No, he didn’t have to say anything to me. His plan was so transparent, I saw through it right away. I’m sure even a child could have seen through his game. I’m surprised that you didn’T.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ]

Adam: What makes you think I wasn’t already onto him? I mean, I told you at the ranch over the holidays that I didn’t see any news in billy’s little downward spiral.

Victoria: Oh, yes. Right.

Adam: No, believe me, I had no intention of writing a damaging story on him. I mean, in fact, now that i think of it, if you were onto him, why didn’t you mention anything to me and dad then? Could have warned us. I mean, assuming we all are on team newman.

Victoria: What other team is there?

Lily: Ah, this is exactly what I needed.

Billy: [ Chuckles ]

Lily: I’ve just been throwing myself into work so much trying to get ready for the big day, i didn’t realize how tense I was.

Billy: Well, I’m glad I could help you relax.

Lily: So, now can I ask questions?

[ Both laugh ]

Billy: Yes, you can ask three questions.

Lily: What? I’m sorry? When did I get a question quota?

Billy: Because this is our last special night before your big day and I don’t want to spend it talking about work.

Lily: Okay. That’s fair. Fine. But the first question I have is actually a non-work question.

Billy: Okay.

Lily: So it doesn’t count.

Billy: Okay.

Lily: Okay. How are you doing? How’s your mind-set?

Billy: I’m good. Yeah. Strong. Ready to take on the world.

Lily: Okay, good. So that means the conversation with your mom went well?

Billy: Is that a question without asking a question?

Lily: Oh, my — just tell me how it went with jill.

Billy: We had a very productive conversation. The biggest takeaway — she really likes you and she’s very excited that you are now the ceo of chancellor industries.

Lily: Really? So she’s not regretting her decision?

Billy: The contrary. She thinks you’re great. And she really believes that you’re gonna bring this company to new heights.

Victor: Send him in.

Michael: Victor.

Victor: Michael. Good to see you, man.

Michael: You too. I’m sorry to drop in like this. Uh…I’ve been thinking about the offer you made the other day.

Victor: I’m sure you didn’t trek all the way out here to turn me down.

Michael: Well, let’s not jump to conclusions just yet. Let’s look at this as an informational visit. Uh…I’d like to hear more about what this job might entail.

Victor: Now, let me ask you. Are you serious about stepping down from your position as D.A.?

Michael: I’m planning on leaving.

Victor: Uh-huh.

Michael: Mostly to spend more time with my family, but, uh, I am intrigued by the possibility of doing some private work with you…

Victor: Uh-huh.

Michael: …As long as it’s not overwhelming, which would defeat the whole purpose of my resignation.

Victor: Of course. I understand that, you know, but don’t you worry. I will make this as appealing to you as possible, okay? This is the sound of nature breathing.

Lily: Well, I’m really happy that your mom has confidence in me, but I also know it’s really important for you that she has confidence in you as coo. So stop evading and just answer my question.

Billy: Which one of your many questions do you want me to answer?

Lily: I want to know if your mom accepted your apology the way you wanted her to.

Billy: Well, first and foremost, I apologized, and i also confessed about my ill-fated plan to get back at victor and adam for everything they did to us. I was also very clear that my change of heart came because of your guidance, and she was very grateful for that. She honestly believes that you are my guardian angel.

Lily: Well, I appreciate the credit, but I do think that you’re underselling the strength it took to turn the other cheek to the newmans.

Billy: Mm.

Lily: So, just tell me — did your mom accept your apology?

Billy: My mother and I making up usually involves a bone-crushing hug while she calls me an idiot. So, by that definition… yeah, we healed.

Lily: So, are you coming to chancellor as coo?

Billy: Yes.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Billy: I am your coo, with, of course, my mother’s blessing.

Lily: Ooh, good, I’m so glad!

[ Laughs ]

Adam: Come on, victoria. Tell me. Tell me — what’s really going on with you and billy?

Victoria: You know, I don’t really have time for your little “what did you know and when did you know it” game. The point is, I stopped billy in his tracks when I found out what he was up to. Because, believe it or not, I am a great defender of all things newman, at least when it comes to business.

Adam: Well, I can’t help but wondering if there aren’t two opposing team newmans these days — newman media and newman/locke.

Victoria: [ Laughs ] Are you really comparing newman/locke, a giant, international powerhouse with interests in almost every sector, to newman media, a fledgling start-up? Need I remind you that your company was a part of locke communications group? It was just a little something that ashland decided that he wanted to sell off.

Adam: Oh, I don’t need to be reminded. Dad and I won ashland’s company over you and billy. And given the fact that you told dad that you were responsible for stopping billy’s little scheme to harm newman media, i just — I can’t help but wonder if you have a plan of your own. And I would bet it has something to do with newman media. Am I right?

Victoria: Now, why would i tell you one way or another? If I had something going on, the first person that I would discuss it with would be our father. And certainly he would share that news with you, wouldn’t he?

Adam: So I guess that’s a “yes.” And based on your response, your first order of attack is to turn father against son. Hmm. I can’t help but wonder — are you advising her in this maneuver?

Ashland: Well, you’re assuming there is a maneuver. And if you really knew your sister, you’d know that she makes her own decisions. I find her business instincts nothing short of brilliant. And if you think for one second that she would allow her husband to call the shots… well, you need to think again.

Devon: I know that I didn’t say that I wouldn’t do something like this, but the last time we spoke, you were very upset, and I felt like you weren’t hearing me. And I realized that it just wasn’t the time to press or push the issue at all. So I let it go, but I certainly didn’t change my mind about wanting to spend more time with dominic.

Abby: I just — I cannot believe that you’re doing this. Have I ever denied you the opportunity to spend time with dominic? And now you’re escalating things with lawyers?

Devon: Well, you denied me the ability to just have scheduled visits with him so i can feel like more than just a visitor in his life.

Abby: No, no, no, no. There’s got to be more to this than just that because you know you are welcome in this house anytime. You can see dominic whenever you want.

Devon: I know that.

Abby: Is this about my parenting? I know I asked you this before, and you insisted that it wasn’t, but it is the only thing that makes sense to me.

Devon: No, it’s not. I told you already what it is.

Abby: Is it about the trip to spain? Is it because I left him with you? You know, I only did that because I went to go look for my son’s father!

Devon: I know.

Abby: But it — it clearly tainted your opinion of me, and now you think I’m not capable of being a good mom!

Devon: That’s not true. I didn’t say that, abby. I think you’re a great mom.

Abby: Because I keep going over this in my head, over and over and over again, and it all goes back to that trip.

Devon: Just relax for a second, okay? It’s not the trip. It’s really not. When you left dominic with me, when you went to spain, it did strengthen our bond. I will say that, alright? But that’s not what this is about. This is about me wanting to have a bigger role in dominic’s life and being concerned about your husband.

Abby: We went into this clearly. We had an agreement. You agreed to be the donor. And you were by my side the whole time. You were my friend, my best friend. You held my hand when I thought chance was dead. You were there when dominic was born, and now you’re turning on us?

Devon: I’m not, abby. I’m not turning on anybody. I’m still your best friend. I love you and chance. I’m just trying to make sure that I’m always able to support dominic in every way. That’s it. And by you refusing to even consider…

Abby: Okay. Okay.

Devon: …Changing our agreement, I mean, you’re keeping me from doing that.

Abby: Okay, so you are blaming me. You are blaming me. You’re saying that I’m pushing you to do this. I asked you to be dominic’s godfather, for heaven’s sake!

Devon: I know.

Abby: And now what? What, you want to change the agreement? What is it? ‘Cause there’s clearly more to this than that. Just tell me.

Devon: I don’t know what to say. I’ve told you, it’s —

Abby: No, you don’t think that chance and I are capable of being good parents to dominic. That’s it, isn’t it? Just tell the truth.

Devon: No, that’s not the truth. I don’t think that about you. I think it about your husband, alright? I’m concerned about his psychological state right now and how that might affect dominic.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

[ Sniffles ] Depression can make you feel like…just…noooo.

Abby: I understand that you’re concerned about chance’s emotional state. I am, too. That’s why I am fighting so hard for my family. And I’m appalled that you think chance isn’t responsible enough to care for our son.

Devon: This isn’t something that I think, abby. That is what he told me. He said the words to me, “I am struggling with being home and the pressure of being a parent.” That’s what he said. And knowing that, I also know that dominic needs a father figure in his life right now that can put him first and foremost.

Abby: And you see yourself as dominic’s father?

Devon: I’m not saying that chance isn’t his father, too. I’m saying that — I’m talking about filling that role for dominic right now, because I can do it, while we give chance the time he needs to get his mind right.

Abby: I knew this was about more than just shared custody. I mean, you see yourself as our son’s father. I-I-I mean, I can’t even process that right now.

Devon: Why do you — why can’t you — what do you mean, you can’t process it, abby? Really? ‘Cause that’s kind of hurtful for me to hear you say that. You don’t see me as a type of father figure for dominic? I’m the one you left him with when you went to spain. You didn’t pick anybody in your family. You chose me. So, what’s changed for you?

Chance: Thanks for doing this with me.

Amanda: Yeah, of course.

Chance: I just wanted an opportunity to tell you that i understand where devon’s coming from — a lot more than abby does. That’s for sure.

Amanda: Wow. Well, I am really surprised to hear you say that.

Chance: Yeah, well, I — I can see how much he loves dominic.

Amanda: That is undeniable.

Chance: It’s also undeniable that I’ve been playing catch-up as a father. And I can’t help but wonder if that’s what devon is reacting to. I mean, this can’t be about spending more time with dominic. We never denied him that. This has to do with his concerns about me, doesn’t it?

Billy: While I was gone, did anything happen on the newman front between victoria, victor, and adam? Not that I really care, but, you knoW…

Lily: Oh, you care. I know you can’t just quit cold turkey. So, actually, I think you’ll find this interesting. Look at what adam sent me right when you left for chicago. He texted me that. “Best of luck with chancellor.”

Billy: Sounds like a threat.

Lily: Oh, of course it’s a threat. That’s why I went to his office to go confront him. I didn’t believe for a second he was being sincere.

Billy: Leave it to adam to turn a congratulations into a veiled warning.

Lily: Yeah. And he was trying to act all casual, but I could tell that something riled him up. So, clearly whatever you said to him before you left must have cut to the bone.

Billy: Well, that’s music to my ears, the fact that I can still wound him, metaphorically speaking of course. But that’s something we should keep an eye on. Wounded animals usually retaliate.

Lily: Well, then it’s a good thing you put the feud behind you.

Billy: Well, just because I’m able to turn the other cheek doesn’t mean adam is. It’s not in his dna.

Lily: Well, I did let him know that his attempts to destroy your reputation failed miserably and that you’re coming to chancellor as my coo.

Billy: I’m sure that went over well.

Lily: [ Laughs ] I also told ashland, too.

Billy: Oh. How much did he love that?

Lily: Actually, I think i loved telling them more. And now I can tell the world.

Billy: [ Laughs ]

Adam: Oh, don’t worry, ashland. I would never underestimate my brilliant sister. But unfortunately this time she had a swing and a miss. Your strategy to, uh, turn dad against me — it’s already backfired.

Victoria: Oh, okay. Well, then let’s just say for argument’s sake that that was my plan. What makes you so sure that it’s backfired?

Adam: Because we actually bonded more after your feeble attempt to drive a wedge between us. I know you’ll never admit it, but I know you’re up to something, and you’re either targeting newman media or me.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] My goodness, your paranoia is running rampant.

Adam: I mean, why even bother? Newman/locke won ownership of chanccomm. Is that not enough of a win for you? Are you that insecure that you can’t handle a little competition?

Victoria: I think newman media is hardly competition for us.

Adam: I thought after the wedding that we had at least reached neutral ground and we could go on with our lives. And, ashland, after all my help with gaines, I thought I had your loyalty. I mean, where would your reputation be if victor and i hadn’t intervened?

Ashland: I would have handled him fine by myself.

Victoria: And we thanked you for that. You know, I find it amusing that you don’t trust me. What’s wrong? Do I make you nervous?

Adam: [ Laughs ]

Victoria: You know I will always be your older and wiser sister and I will show you the respect by never handing you a bogus win because what would be the fun in that, really?

Adam: Mm.

Victoria: And, you know, you should consider that our father might not always have your back.

Adam: Mm. Well, don’t you get too confident that I’ll always have yours…or ashland’S.

[ Chair slams ]

[ Mug thuds ]

From the very first touch,

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Victor: Now, michael, please have a seat. There are plans in the works… involving newman/locke, newman media, and chanccomm. And most likely there will be some reshuffling in regard to power and control.

Michael: Is that so?

Victor: Don’t misunderstand me. Victoria has done a wonderful job, you know, merging newman enterprises with ashland locke’s company.

Michael: It was an amazing deal.

Victor: Yes, it’s one of historic proportions, really. However, I recently have noticed some signs of immaturity in my son adam. Again, I trust him. He’s done a good job running the company. He has done a great job transitioning cyaxares to newman media. And he’s added a fashion platform that stands to make a lot of money.

Michael: Sounds positive.

Victor: Yeah. But recent events have made me consider taking a more active role, you know?

Michael: I can imagine how adam feels about that.

Victor: What I want you to think about is that I am thinking about solidifying the various factions calling themselves newman.

Michael: That sounds intriguing, but I would hate to be caught in the middle of a newman war. I mean, I love the idea of a new challenge, but the whole point of resigning from the D.A.’S office was to have less stress, not more.

Victor: And I understand that. And I want you to know that i don’t intend to blow things up. But I want to protect my legacy. And who better to help me through the legal difficulties than you, one of the brightest legal minds around? But the one wild card in all this for me is, uh… ashland locke. I know he loves my daughter and she loves him. But I don’t trust him.

Ashland: I wonder what adam meant by that parting warning.

Victoria: What do you mean, about my father not always having our back? I’m sure he was just trying to knock us off our guard.

Ashland: Well, in that case, he’s underestimating us.

Victor: That was a very sloppy, sloppy move, which strikes me as either panic or overconfidence. Neither is a quality of someone destined to come out on top.

Ashland: Well, you know, i really admire your confidence in the whole thing, but you of all people should know how ruthless victor newman can be. Maybe adam knows something about his agenda that we should be concerned about.

Victoria: No, I don’t think so. Look at how far my father went to protect you, and I do believe that he genuinely admires my business instincts. I mean, he wholeheartedly congratulated me on acquiring chanccomm. I mean, sure, I was disappointed that he didn’t agree to sell me newman media, but I think that would have been too easy. My father loves the game just as much as the win.

Ashland: You are your father’s daughter.

Victoria: And I don’t buy adam’s claim for one minute that his bond with my dad is stronger than ever. I am sure that I planted doubt in my father’s head about adam’s competence and whether he’s suited to running things.

Ashland: I love watching you calculate all the angles. But watching you go head-to-head with adam while simultaneously staying one step ahead of victor — that’s a first for me.

Victoria: Does it scare you?

Ashland: On the contrary. I’m sure, now more than ever, that together we can accomplish anything and everything we set our minds to.

Victoria: Agreed. So then we keep applying the pressure.

Ashland: We definitely make a formidable team.

Amanda: I’m not sure what you mean when you say that devon’s only doing this because of you.

Chance: Okay, again, amanda, I’m not talking to you as his lawyer. But devon and I did have a little heart-to-heart the other day. And I might have opened up about some of these demons that I’m battling. And maybe I was little too honest with him.

Amanda: Well, there’s no such thing as too much honesty.

Chance: Okay, well, if it’s gonna continue to cause pain to abby and put a wrench on this whole agreement that we have, then, well, I regret saying anything to him. Look, I intend to move past this and heal, and I feel like I’m doing much better right now.

Amanda: Well, I’m really glad to hear that.

Chance: And I also intend to do everything that I need to do to be the best father for dominic. And, honestly, I — I think devon should be involved. I mean, why not have as many people as possible loving our boy, right? The more, the better.

Amanda: Yeah, I — I couldn’t agree more. You know, I never had even one devoted parent. Watching all of these loving people dote on dom, I mean… I really do hope that we don’t have to get a judge involved.

Chance: I think that’s what we all want.

Amanda: You know, devon isn’t asking for full custody. All he wants is to be legally recognized and to be able to take care of dominic in his home at pre-arranged times. That’s it. I really don’t think that it’s that outrageous of a request, especially given how essential he’s been in dom’s life from the very beginning.

Abby: Of course I trust you with my son, as his godfather, as an honorary uncle, in all of the roles that we discussed, but you feeling like you’re his father? No, dominic has a father, and his name is chance.

Devon: Right, and I’m not a threat to that. I’m trying to do what’s best for dominic.

Abby: Well, this is not it. What’s best for dominic is for us to be a family — me, chance, and dominic. And what you’re doing is tearing at the very foundation.

Devon: I’m not trying to do that.

Abby: Yes, chance has been through a lot of trauma. But that doesn’t mean that he can’t be a good father and a good husband while he’s working on his recovery. And taking dominic out of the equation, even if it’s on a partial basis — that’s more of an obstacle, not less.

Devon: I disagree with that, abby. It’s —

Abby: I finally have my family back. We are finally reunited. We are working on healing. We have lost so much time already.

Devon: I’m not trying to take him away from you.

Abby: You said that you’re worried about chance’s emotional state. Well, suing us for shared custody is only gonna make things worse. Woman: Life’s been hard enough.

Devon: Abby, if I’m being honest, I don’t think that it’s dominic’s job to heal chance.

Abby: You’re twisting my words.

Devon: I’m not… alright.

[ Sighs ] I don’t want to argue with you. I really don’t, but I don’t know what else to say ’cause I was hoping that we could come to some kind of agreement without going to court. But it’s not looking like that’s gonna happen. And I can’t back down from this ’cause I really feel like I’m doing what’s best for dominic.

Abby: You’re doing what’s best for you. And now I’m brokenhearted.

[ Door closes ]

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Amanda: Hey. We just wanted to see how things were going.

Chance: How we doing?

Devon: Um… I just want to apologize to you ’cause this something that i really never intended to do. But I’m gonna take off and say thank you for listening to me.

[ Door opens ]

Chance: Hey. What happened? What did he say that’s got you so upset?

Abby: I tried to talk to him, but he wouldn’t listen. We need to call christine.

Victor: So, I piqued your interest, right?

Michael: Oh, yes. Yes. Uh, but I get the feeling that you aren’t telling me everything. I thought you admired your son-in-law. But you don’t trust him. That’s news to me. I was under the impression that you had welcomed him into your family with open arms.

Victor: Yeah. He loves victoria. Victoria loves him. That’s why I made sure that the wedding went off without a hitch. I want victoria to be happy.

Michael: Every father wants that for his children.

Victor: Right. But meanwhile I’ve learned some rather unsavory things about ashland locke. Not that that would normally bother me because I have a rather checkered past myself, as you damn well know.

Michael: I would the last person to argue that point.

Victor: I want you to think about how much newman enterprises has meant to me. I built the damn company from the ground up. I’m proud of it. Put my heart and soul into it, a legacy for my family. And now newman enterprises is called newman/locke. It doesn’t sit well with me. I’ve never trusted an outsider running my damn company. Never.

Lily: So, what do you think? I worked with the media relations department to get the press released ready.

Billy: I thought I told you not to make this a priority.

Lily: I know, but I just wanted to be proactive in case everything worked out. So, now that you’re back and everything’s good with jill, we can release it.

Billy: You’re so cute. You’re so excited about your new job.

Lily: I am excited, but I’m more excited to have you by my side. I mean, to be honest, a week ago, I didn’t even think this was gonna happen.

Billy: Well, I can tell by this press release you never gave up hope on me.

Lily: Well, truthfully, i wasn’t sure if you were gonna give up your plan to vindicate yourself. But I am very proud of you that you did. So, no more talking about victoria or adam or the past, only looking forward.

Billy: To your phenomenal success.

Lily: With you by my side.

[ Chuckles ]

New vicks vapostick. Strong soothing vapors…

Abby: We have to call christine. We have to fight with everything that we have. I mean, devon can’t possibly have a legal leg to stand on, right?

Chance: Abby, hey, take a second, alright? I think we need to talk about this first.

Abby: What’s there to talk about? Wait. You don’t think devon has a right to do this, do you?

[ Door closes ]

Devon: Yeah, no, I was completely honest with her about my fears over chance’s emotional state, but she kept insisting that there’s more to it that I’m keeping from her.

Amanda: More to it? What did she mean?

Devon: I don’t know. She thinks that me going after custody is gonna unravel their whole family.

Amanda: [ Sighs ] Well, I’m not concerned that your conversation will affect your case at all, but I need to make sure that you’re okay with moving forward legally — because it will cause more friction.

Devon: Yeah. I know. I just don’t understand why abby sees me as some kind of a rival.

Amanda: You know, I didn’t get that feeling from chance at all when I spoke to him earlier. He is focused on healing and being the best possible father that he can be to dominic. And personally [Sighs] I understand where you are coming from, but I also can’t help but empathize with abby and chance. But professionally, as your lawyer, I need to make it clear what it’s gonna take to win. The key for any judge will be what is in the best interest of the child. So you are gonna need to put chance on trial. That’s your best shot at getting shared custody.

Devon: I just — I really don’t want things to get ugly.

Amanda: You’re gonna need to be prepared for that.

Devon: I know. I hate that it’s come to this. But I can’t back down.

Michael: So, what exactly has you on the alert about locke?

Victor: Well, I don’t think it is quite the time yet to sound the alarm. But considering the possibility that his health improves…

Michael: You think he might try to pull something?

Victor: What do you think? What man would allow his company to merge with another unless he were standing at death’s door? What if he recovers miraculously? What if he gets well all of a sudden? You don’t think that he’ll regret what he did?

Michael: Hmm. Could get tricky.

Victor: You got that right. So I’d love nothing more than to have a bright legal mind by my side to think all this through.

Michael: Sounds like an extremely challenging game of chess.

Victor: Yeah.

Michael: Exactly the sort of legal strategy I love, as long as it doesn’t keep me busy 24/7.

[ Both laugh ]

Victor: Well, don’t you worry about that, okay? I know that there will be times when you’re not available.

Michael: There are other factors to consider.

Victor: Yeah, well… I’ll remove all the obstacles that you might encounter, alright? I want you to know that I would love nothing more than to have my old buddy michael baldwin at my side to fight a potentially very volatile legal battle — because, trust me, things are about to become very interesting.

Michael: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: To your health, old boy.

Michael: And yours.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey. Out. But I was just helping — no, no, no, no. Listen to me. I own this club. It’s not that kind of place. Okay? So when I say out, you leave. I don’t want the trouble. Come on. I got into trouble and left my family before my trouble became yours. Marshall: Here you are, my dear. Oh, well, I see that chivalry is still alive and well.

[ Chuckles ] That’s right. My mama and daddy raised me right. Mm-hmm. And I suppose that means you’ll insist on picking up the bill. Of course. I asked you out, after all. We’re gonna split the check, marshall. And I don’t want to hear any arguments about it. Just one — I’ll write it off. As long as we can say this is taking my band’s new singer out to dinner to discuss future gigs. I never agreed to be your new singer. And I don’t want to spoil our evening getting into it. Let’s talk about something else. Fair enough. Oh, how about telling me that long story of why you decided not to become a doctor?

[ Scoffs ] Brando. Hey. I head to the hospital in a few, but if you need a sparring partner, I have some time. You’re looking for another chance to deck me in the face again? Come on. Ancient history. Um, hey, man, I… you know, I never thanked you, um… for your concern when liam passed. But I-I-I hope you don’t feel obligated to, you know, just forget about everything and offer to be my friend again just…because I lost my son. Gladys: I didn’t know you practiced yoga. We can be yoga buddies.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, look, it’s sasha and gladys. Let’s say hi. Mom, no. If we acknowledge gladys, we’ll never get rid of her. The other side of the room, then. Let’s go put our stuff down. Oh, my god, I haven’t done yoga in, like, forever. I don’t even know if I can do a downward-facing dog. Oh, well, the great thing about yoga is you only do what you’re able to. I mean, you could spend most of the class in child’s pose and you feel great afterwards — and your mind feels very peaceful. Well, goodness knows I could use some peace of mind. Why? What happened? I saw peter. Okay. Wow. Nice place jax has here. I know, right? Guy knows how to live. He’s really not charging us rent? You know, jax and my ma go way, way back. She’s actually the whole reason that he’s in port charles in the first place, but, um, he refuses to charge us anything. Did you go out to the terrace? See the stairs leading right down to the beach? Yeah. I got to admit, there could be worse places to co-parent that sweet little girl.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Door opens ] Told you I would’ve carried that. Yeah.

[ Breathing heavily ] Okay. That’s — that’s the last of it. I’ll return the moving van to the rental car company for you. Thanks. You got a whole box of shoes, huh? Shoes. Oh, how did you miss the other four boxes? Four? Wh-what… what are you — what are you gonna do with all this stuff? You know, my room is stuffed, so you — you guys could just put it in chase’s room. Uh, excuse me. What about my stuff? Your stuff? You mean like two shirts and a pair of jeans?

[ Scoffs ] Wow, nothing has changed, has it, brook lynn? I remember you taking over my apartment the last time you moved in. Yeah, and you whined just as loudly the last time. Yet you were the one who suggested that we move back in together again. One minute living together and you’re already talking like an old married couple. [ Chuckles ] Mm-hmm. Portia: Well, I can work weekends now since the holiday break is over and trina’s back in school. Great. Thanks. Someone looks pretty amazing.

[ Gasps ] Thanks. Who’s the lucky guy? That’s rhetorical, right? We all know it’s finn. Guys, it’s no big deal. But if you’re short-handed, I can work an extra shift. I’ll just tell finn. I’m sure he won’t mind. Not on your life, sister. Why are you looking for an excuse to cancel? I thought you and finn decided to stop dancing around your feelings. We did. I just can’t shake this feeling that if we do actually go out on this date… something bad is gonna happen.

Can’t wait till they start arguing over who does the dishes.

[ Laughs ] And takes out the trash. And trims the trees. Trims the trees! Well, that’s easy — chase, chase, and chase. Okay, now, wait a minute. Okay, look, the point is, this is an arrangement out of expediency for bailey’s sake. Yeah, I want to spend more time with her without making things awkward for michael and willow. Okay. Whatever, bro. Um, listen, just remember that, uh, helping someone move is like driving them to the airport, alright? Never forget who was there for you when you needed it. Oh, big time! Well, how can I forget when you keep reminding me? But it’s so fun! Oh, that’s funny. Uh, don’t you have a date with elizabeth tonight? How did your wedding ring show up in your locker? I know, right? It’s crazy. I put it away at home. Uh, well, what happened when you asked jake and aiden about it? They both denied having anything to do with it. Well, is it possible that you put the ring in your locker and not at home where you thought, and you just misremembered it? You have been working a lot of extra shifts, biz. Mm-hmm. That’ll mess with your memory. I have been racking my brain. I don’t remember seeing the ring after I put it away in the kitchen drawer on new year’s eve. But you’re

right –I-I have been working a lot. I don’T…

[ Sighs ] Maybe I’m just really distracted. I don’t think anything is gonna happen on your date with finn. Mm. And if you’re not ready for an actual date, that’s okay, too. But I think you know that you are. So, are you saying this is just nerves? I think what terry’s saying isget out of here. Go. Have fun! Right. Fine. Wish me luck, girls. Good luck, cutie! Knock ’em dead! Drew: Good crowd. Hey, drew. Hey! Buddy. Kind of kicking myself for not being around to invest when you first opened. Oh, man, I have no complaints. Yeah. Well, except for one. Your father showing up suddenly in port charles. Look, man, I’m sorry that I was not able to dig up any information about where he’s been all those years. Oh, no, no. I actually found out where he had been all those years… but, unfortunately, all it does is raise more questions. Thank you. To a beautiful and talented lady. And to a dangerously charming man.

[ Both chuckle ] Mm. Mm-hmm. I know that you want to discuss my career choices, but the truth is that I really love being a nurse. But you originally dreamed of becoming a doctor. Well, I loved the sciences. And I, uh — I never had a problem cutting open a frog for biology class. Mm. But when I told my guidance counselor that I wanted to become a doctor… let me guess. He was… he was a mean old man…

[ Laughs ] …With dandruff, who thought that women should become wives and mothers and raise a passel of kids.

[ Inhales sharply ] Eh… when I told mr. Workman that I wanted to go to med school, he said, “epiphany, you’re a smart young lady.”

[ Chuckles ] “I could see you becoming a nun or a nurse. But since I’ve seen you with that boyfriend of yours, I know you’re not going to be a nun.”

[ Both laugh ]

[ Sighs ] It was a different time. Wasn’t quite the middle ages. There were quite a few female doctors while you were in school. Women of color, too. I know. But it seemed out of reach for me. And mr. Workman really cemented that perception. Have you ever wondered what would have happened if you hadn’t let that old fogey inside your head? Please tell me I just imagined that you said that. I just wanted to look him in the eye and see for myself if he really knew where louise was. Mom! How many times do I have to tell you? Peter has no idea where louise is. And — and I believe you now, and I’m sorry. And he was bluffing, but it’s really obvious that he is desperate to reunite with his daughter. Yeah, that’s what I’m afraid of. He said some extremely nasty, vile things about me. About us. Yeah, well, peter’s really good at finding your weak spot and pushing really hard until you scream. Yeah, well, some of those things he said were true. I’ve let you down as a mother.

[ Voice breaking ] And I know how much that hurt you. Mom, no. That was a long time ago. We’re different now. Peter is the one who taught me the true meaning of betrayal. You can’t let him get to you. Well, that’s just easier said than done. Honestly, I don’t know how you do it. Peter has said some nasty things to me, and — and I’m a nervous wreck. And you have been coping with louise’s disappearance for well over half a year now and you are still strong, maxie. You’re my hero.

right. As much funas this has been — not — I, uh — I need to get changed and meet elizabeth at the grill. Hallelujah! At long last. Oh, quit giving finn such a hard time, chase. Look, elizabeth and I, we have had our differences over the years. But she helped save chase’s life and she clearly makes you happy. So I think it’s time we burn the old bridges and rebuild some new ones. Hm! You know, that’s bensonhurst for “I’m happy for you.” Ah! Oh! Then — then, thank you. Alright, guys, I am going to change and feed this little one and try to get her down for the night. Wait, where did we put, um, the diaper bag?

[ Door closes ] Uh, in the kitchen, next to the formula. Okay. Oh, and I already hung the mobile. So if she’s still awake, you can see her try to reach up and grab it. I know, how cute is it? How many videos have you taken? Too many to count. I know. Me too.

[ Both laugh ] Alright. I’ll be back in a few. Excuse me. Mm-hmm.

[ Sighs ] So, buddy, what’s really going on with you and, uh, brook lynn? Nice place. Thank you for recommending it. My pleasure. Oh, don’t you look gorgeous, nurse baldwin.

[ Laughs ] Elizabeth, this is, uh, mar– marshall. Nice to meet you. It’s very nice to meet you. Have we met somewhere before? Oh, if we had, I’d remember that.

[ Epiphany laughing ]

[ Chuckles ] Ignore him, elizabeth. Marshall’s a musician, and you know how they are. Are you here alone? Join us. Oh, thank you. Um… I’m actually meeting someone. Ohh? Dr. Finn?

[ Chuckles ] Mm-hmm. I’m so proud.

[ Laughs ] I’m gonna go wait for my table. It was really nice meeting you, marshall. Nice meeting you, too, elizabeth. Hm. I know that look. Elizabeth and all the nurses who work under you — they’re not just colleagues, are they? They’re family. And you know this because…? Because that’s the same look I get about my own family. Man, I’m sorry. I am… I’m wasting your time, man. Hey, no worries. You’re using the bag to distract yourself. You can’t stop thinking about your son.

[ Sighs ] You know, sasha and i watched as he was taken off the ventilator. Yeah. Not something, uh, either of us are gonna forget anytime soon, if ever. Have you, um… h-have you considered therapy? I — man, I would, you know, if she wanted to. But she just keeps distancing herself from me. She doesn’t want to talk about liam. She goes right back to work, acts like everything is normal. While nothing is normal for you. No, man. Brando, people… they — they — they grieve in different ways. You know, maybe sasha just needs to grieve privately. Fine. The thing is, though, man, I’m — I’m worried that — that sasha isn’t grieving at all. I can’t believe how busy we’ve been at the office. So much preparation to do for this ipo launch. It’s exciting. Um, a-are you gonna be the one to ring the bell when deception goes public?

[ Sighing ] Gladys, um… how about we save the questions until after class? We’re here to practice mindfulness. Ah. Yeah. Guess you really need a lot of inner peace right now be– because of… little liam. Not now, gladys. Not ever. Please don’t shut me out, sasha. Talking about loss really helps. You’ve got to open up to someone. What makes you think that I’m not? Brando told me you’ve been keeping him at arm’s length ever since the baby’s funeral. Mom, please do not put me on a pedestal. I’m not as strong as you think I am. Is this why you don’t want to return to pautuck with anna and austin to, like, retrace your steps and see if we can figure out who took louise? I-I just don’t see how retracing my steps the night I was running from that crazy nurse is gonna help me remember who stole my daughter. Honey, how can you not see how important this is? You know, you’re not gonna be in labor. You’re not gonna be fearing for your safety or your baby’s safety. You’ll be able to take time and concentrate and focus on all the events and the detail– mom, stop! Please! I am not going back to that cabin, ever.

[ Door closes ]

[ Sighs ] You look beautiful. You don’t look too bad yourself. I guess I could just move on, not let it bother me. Especially when things between portia and me are so good. So, things are getting serious? Man. Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] But…? Well, there’s no buts when it comes to portia. It’s marshall. Now, he implied that he was in witness protection. Something about organized crime. But when I asked him for the details, the man shut down. He said it was safer for aunt stella and tj if I didn’t know. Could the man be any more cryptic? Tell me about it. And I’m supposed to — to get to know this man, let him in and open up. Sounds like a one-way street. So, you want to know exactly what kind of mess marshall got himself into. Yeah. But how can I trust the man when he doesn’t care enough about me to tell me the truth about himself? Yeah. I mean, that’s one way to look at it. You mean there’s more than the one way? Maybe marshall isn’t telling you everything

because he cares about you. So, how are things with you and curtis? Good. Um, curtis and I admitted to each other that we’re falling in love with one another. Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Well, I wanted to focus on supporting elizabeth, you know. Oh, trust me, she would’ve been happy for you. I know.

[ Both laugh ] But — you, you! What about you? Have you had any action on the dating apps or…? Oh, plenty of guys want to meet right now. Right. And you’re more of a “let’s take things slow” kind of gal. I get it. Apparently, exchanging messages to get to know someone is so 10 years ago.

[ Sighs ] But 10 years ago, I was so busy with my residency I couldn’t look at anyone that wasn’t in a hospital bed. And now… I’m not sure there will ever be another camelot. Well, you know what? Maybe camelot is a lot closer than you think. Forget what I said, man. Of course sasha’s dealing with grief in her own way. It sounds like she’s repressing her grief. Sh-she lost the child that she carried for nine months. It was all she could think about. I mean, w-we — she was so excited to welcome our little guy into the world, and then when everything went incredibly wrong, she — she — she’s distracting herself in order not to think about how much she’s hurting. Yes, and if she can get through the day by — by diving in to — to some project at deception, then — then who am i to argue? But she has to have some outlet for her grief somewhere, right? This repression isn’t healthy. But who’s to say she doesn’t have an outlet? Even if it isn’t you? Look, do you think this is less about sasha not talking to you about liam and more about you projecting what you need from her? I appreciate the concern, gladys, but I’m fine, really. Sorry, sash. Not buying what you’re selling. Keeping your emotions bottled up doesn’t do a body good. Bottles crack — shatter, even. Cleaning up the glass ain’t pretty. Just because you don’t like how I’m grieving doesn’t mean that I’m not grieving. Everyone copes differently, and — and I’m sorry if I’m not crying on your shoulder or brando’S. Oh, brando is, too. He’s mourning that little baby just as much as you are. Maybe doing yoga right now wasn’t such a good idea after all.

[ Sighs ] I’m sorry, maxie. I should be more sensitive to what happened to you in that cabin. I mean, after that horrible nurse abducted you for — for peter — I’m gonna go get some water. Do you want some? Uh, no, thank — no, thank you. Great. Look, there’s nothing going on between brook lynn and me. Mm-hmm. Alright? We spent one night together. Mm. And now bailey unites us, so we came up with the solution to move in together so we could co-parent bailey in private. Okay, but…

[ Object thuds ] Brook lynn kept bailey a secret from you and said that valentin was her father so that she could get his elq shares. You should be really angry with her at this point, no? And I bet lucy could help us find a temporary rental. I mean, it would keep tracy at bay, allow maxie more time with her daughter, and bailey would be that much harder for peter to find. Has anyone ever told you you are a genius? No. Well, you are. However, I’ve known brook lynn my entire life. Our families go way back. And despite the questionable things that she has done from time to time, I know that she has a good heart, and deep down, she’s a good person, so I-I can totally see why you would be having feelings for her. No! Nothing can happen between us. There’s too much at stake.

I can’t partake, but feel freeto order an adult beverage. I see they have a good napa cab and a couple pretty decent sonoma pinots here, if you have a preference. Okay, all I really know about wine is red, white, and rosé. And don’t even think about recommending a cocktail, ’cause then you’ll end up carrying me home. So, um, sparkling water? Yeah, sounds good. Okay. Um… it’s been a while for me. Is — is this the — the part of the first date where we ask awkward questions, try to get to know each other a little better? Yes. Okay. Yes, like, um… how many brothers and sisters do you have? What was your favorite subject in school? Did you have a pet growing up? Do you get along with your mom and dad? I-ignore that one. I didn’t mean, uh… I don’t know what I meant. Would you care to order wine this evening? Yes. Well, let me see your phone. What? Come on, just hand it over. Thank you. Excuse me! No, no. I’m just downloading something. What? When trina was home from her break, she told me about this app that some of her friends from school were using. I have zero interest in lip-synching. Somehow, no, I knew that.

[ Chuckles ] No, no, no. This is a dating app, but it’s anonymous. Okay? There’s no photos. The app is gonna verify your identity and only share your information with anyone that you agree to meet with. So it’s — it’s just like anonymous texting. And I am setting up a profile for you. I’m not sure about this. Oh, come on. Live a little, please? And there you go. You’re shameless. Yes. Yes, I am. But that’s what friends are for. I’m gonna go check on my patients. This is the last app I’m signing up for! So, you think my father is silent about his past because he cares about me? Brother, please explain. People in witness protection don’t usually advertise it. I mean, the program is for — informants. Exactly. Or, in mob speak, rats, right? And when it comes to rats, the grudges and the slights, they’re never, ever forgotten. Was marshall able to disappear without anybody tracking him down? It seems that way. But if you continue to dig into his past, that could be signaling somebody that your father has resurfaced. That’s why he said if I continue talking, I could put aunt stella and tj in danger. Not to mention himself. And yet, in your words, your father implied that he is in witness protection. That sounds like the ultimate sign of trust to me. Any chance you’re willing to trust him back? Thank you. Care for dessert? Or maybe we don’t need that ice cream sundae, because you look like someone who already got her cherry on top.

[ Laughs ] Don’t go getting a swelled head, but… maybe you were right earlier. My nurses are my family. And that’s why I would never turn back the clock to apply to med school instead of nursing school. I love that you are so proud of being a nurse. But no one said you can’t be proud and curious to try something new. Well, that might work for you — you know, being a musician and all, going from gig to gig with nothing and no one to hold you back — but that’s not me. If I could turn back the clock… I’d be there more. Maybe patching things up withit wouldn’t be such slow going. Mm. I had a son, too. He’s gone now, but… unfortunately, that’s the thing about time — you always think that you have more of it than you do. Nothing can ever happen between you and brook lynn ’cause there’s “too much at stake”? What the hell is that supposed to mean? Look, letting myself fall for someone like brook lynn would be a major disaster. And I know your families used to be close, but I heard about all the wildly inappropriate stuff she used to do back in the day. I mean, she lied, she schemed, hurt people. My moving in with her, it’s what’s best for bailey. Wow, dude, why don’t you tell me how you really feel? And — and I don’t even think brook lynn’s really my type. And if — if she was my type, how would I be able to trust her when she wouldn’t even know the truth if it was looking her in the face?

I’m really sorry about before. I honestly wasn’t trying to get you to talk about your parents. I always got along with my mom and dad. Except for the usual, you know, adolescent outbursts. Yeah? What happened? Well, after one particularly difficult summer, while I was with my parents and doctors without borders, they shipped me off to port charles to live with my grandmother. And they haven’t given me much time since. I’m sorry. There are people with worse stories. Franco used to always try to fix things for me until he realized it was a lost cause. It’s really the only thing we fought about. But what really made me feel safe were the little things, like cooking dinner or painting an amazing abstract portrait of me in the studio. That’s nice. I’m sorry. I — I realize bringing up franco is probably not the best topic for our first date. I really am trying not to live in the past. Rather focus on the future. I hope… that future has me in it. Dante: Alright, then. You know what, buddy? I think maybe you need some food in your belly and hit the hay early. I think this move’s done you in. So, bailey fell right asleep after I changed and fed her. Guess I have the magic touch. Do you want to stay for dinner? Oh, you know, I would — I would love to, but, uh — hey, actually, we were supposed to go to the gym together. Remember? Oh, I forgot to cancel. I-I hate to bail on you. No, that’s cool. I mean, you got lots to do. So, uh… I’ll leave you guys to it. Um, please give that sweet daughter of yours a hug for me. I will. Alright. Good luck. So, want to start unpacking? No, I-I think you should go. No, wait! You’re leaving?

[ Sighs ] Gladys. Ugh, yes, I saw that you were sitting next to her. Well, we could swap. You could sit next to my mom.

[ Chuckles ] I thought you liked your mom. Yeah, I do like my mom. But she won’t stop bringing up louise. And if I wake up every morning thinking about the worst thing that’s ever happened to me, I’ll never get out of bed. I know. Brando and gladys keep pushing me to talk about my feelings, but talking about liam isn’t gonna make things better right now. Right, you’re gonna be mourning liam for the rest of your life. You just need to focus on putting one foot in front of the other. Or I won’t be able to survive, and liam might be forgotten. You are laser-focused on sasha’s grief, and that’s okay. But I think it helps distract you from your own pain and loss. Well, maybe if — if sasha would open up about her feelings, I can open up to her. She’s the only other person that knows exactly what you went through and what you’re going through. You know, if you ever become a psychiatrist, I’m your first patient. Well, in the meantime, dr. Collins — he’s no slouch. Give him a call, if you want, even without sasha. And if you still need to do some talking, I can have someone take over my shift. No, no need, man. Thank you. I-I appreciate you taking the time with me. Oh, it’s my pleasure, truly. Okay, man. Alright, bro. You never told me what happened between you and curtis that put this strain on your relationship. Marshall, what’s wrong? I would like for you to be in my life, too. Epiphany: Marshall!

[ Groaning ] Marshall! Marshall! Marshall! Somebody! Marshall!

[ Groaning ]

[ Cellphone chimes ] Already? That was fast. Do what you got to do to get through the day. But if you need a shoulder to cry on, I’m here. Thank you. And some unsolicited advice — don’t push brando away. Or even gladys. They really care about you, sasha. And one day, you’re gonna need them.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Good to see everyone. Let’s jump right into it. We’ll start with warrior one. Breathe in. Soften your gaze. You want me to go? Why? You should go work out with dante. I can do it another time. We’ve got all of bailey’s toys and clothes to unpack — yeah, I can handle it. And the changing table? Yeah, I’ll figure it out. I can read instructions, you know. I am not leaving you to put it together by yourself. Look, I’m not asking for your help, okay? If this living situation is gonna work, we have to set some boundaries. What, like I do the dishes and you build furniture? Chase, let’s be honest here. You’re not really bailey’s father. We’re not really co-parents. You’ve already done a lot for me by putting up with this charade. We’re just here to protect maxie’s daughter from peter. Nothing more. So, go. Live your life. This is my life. Okay. This isn’t a discussion.

[ Sighs ]

[ Grunts ] Just go work out or do whatever you do to keep so nauseatingly fit. I will — I’ll be back in a few hours. Fine. Probably won’t wait up.

[ Door closes ] Dr. Robinson, tomorrow I start my rotation with you. What should I expect? To work, like every other newly minted doctor in this hospital. No special treatment. Right. But you’re gonna be just fine.

[ Both chuckle ] Little help?!

[ Marshall gasping ] What happened? Tj: Marshall, what’s wrong? He’s suffering from chest pain and pain on his left side. Finn: Told me it’s more of a stinging pain rather than heavy pressure. Okay, get him to exam room one! Don’t like to admit it, but you make a good point. But still, even if marshall’s reasons for keeping his family in the dark were noble, I’m still not okay with the fact that he’s only willing to reveal so much about his past and then he shuts it down. Well, I got to warn you. Your father may never be willing to reopen that door. Well, then maybe I should just let him go. Mm.

[ Cellphone chimes ] This is ned hounding me about elq and getting my shares back from valentin again. I better talk him off the ledge. Oh, boy. Well, good luck with that. I’ll see you around. Yeah, count on it. And as far as your father, alright, y-you don’t have to make a decision this second. Remember, you got lots of time to figure out a relationship with him for the future.

[ Cellphone rings ]

[ Chuckles ] Hey, beautiful. Your ears should be burning, ’cause I was talking about you earlier. Curtis, you need to come to the hospital right now. It’s about your father.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 

welcome back. Oh, thank you. Oh. It’s so good to be back. Tell me. Hmm? How’s everything in your world?

[ Clears throat ] Oh, nurse johnson. Am I glad to see you. Mr. Ashford, what happened to you? I was moving a chair, and it was heavier than I thought, and I think my wrist is objecting.

[ Sighs ] Let me take a look here. We don’t want anything to interfere with your plan, now. That would be a tragedy.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Exhales sharply ] Whoo! All right. Guess whoever you were picturing there, you must have really wanted to knock their lights out.

[ Chuckles ] Well, ned’s been on my case about…

[ Exhales sharply ] …Reclaiming my elq shares. If I can even do that. I mean, my shares were in a trust for scout, and sam signed the proxy over to valentin. So assuming I can figure all that out… well, you’d have to remove the proverbial gloves and get ready for a bare-knuckle brawl with the family. Been there, done that. Well, I was, uh, hoping to land a knockout… at nina’s hearing, but she walked away without a scratch. The way she keeps coming between my mom and my dad… this fight’s not gonna end any time soon. Carly: You know nothing about my marriage, nina. Nothing. Nina: Oh, I know this. He’s not gonna let you beat him up for very much longer. And then what is sonny gonna do? He’s gonna come back to the woman who loves him without all the anger. And then you’re gonna lose him for good, because I can tell you this — if sonny comes to me, I’m definitely not gonna send him away.

[ Knock on door ] Britt: Nina? Is this a bad time? Mm! You came home! Yes! I told you I was going to. I know I’m working a lot, but I’m gonna be here every morning to take you guys to school, and then every night to put you both to bed. There’s no school today, carly. Pilar is gonna take them sledding! Can you come with us, mommy carly? Oh. [ Laughs ] Oh, god, I wish I could. I wish I could. But I have so much work to do. I’m working all day, and I’m working all night. I know you’re disappointed, but we just gotta make the best of things. So, why don’t you go find pilar? Come on, sweetie. Go find pilar. And make sure you wear your mittens, okay?

[ Sighs ] Pilar always makes sure that they have their mittens. Okay, I-I’m, you know, just looking out for our girls. Yeah, well… they’d be a lot happier if you — if you stayed home. So would I.

I’m sorry I missed you on new year’S. I wanted to ring in the new year with you and pray for a better year.

[ Sighs ] Well, I’m sorry I missed you.

[ Chuckles ] But let me tell you…

[ Laughs ] …2022 is off to a great start. Oh, I think I know that look.

[ Laughs ] Did you ring in the new year with portia? And then some.

[ Both laugh ] Good for you. But okay, okay. Enough about me. How about you? How about you? Well, me — I got tired of hiding. Does that mean cyrus renault is no longer a threat? It means that I went to pay a visit to him in person before I came home. And what’d he have to say?

[ Sighs ] Brace yourself. He claims he’s found religion. Cyrus renault is holy.

[ Chuckles ] So, he found religion. Or has seen the light. I don’t know. Whatever cliché you prefer. Well, pardon me if I find it a little hard to believe when I can still feel the scar where the man shot me. Yes, I know. I’m — I’m pretty skeptical, too. And like everything that he does, it’s sort of… bigger than life and kind of flashy. What do you think this guy’s angle is? Is he trying to gain sympathy? Or is he trying to find the ear of some powerful person that’ll fall for it? I’m not sure. Time will tell. Well, if the recent events have told me anything, it’s that… time doesn’t change people like that, that, um, it only brings out the worst in them. We’re not talking about cyrus anymore, are we? I don’t need an x-ray. You came to the hospital. It is my job to be thorough. Now, you’re gonna sit tight, and I’m gonna go schedule things with radiology. Oh, geez. Oh, let me get — I got it. I got it.

[ Grunts ] Here you go. Isn’t that your “injured” wrist? Uh… maybe it’s the other one. Look, mr. Ashford, I — please, please. Call me marshall. Mr. Ashford… my break’s about over, and I have legitimate patients to see — who have real issues. So if you don’t mind — look, look, I — okay. I’m busted. I — my wrists are fine. I was just trying to get your attention. I-I haven’t seen you since I asked you to join my band and we teamed up and we serenaded the G.H. Patients here on christmas. I remember. Well, you didn’t give me an answer one way or the other, which is better than a cold hard pass. But I’ve texted you since, and no response. And so it kind of begs the question… is it because you’re not interested in my music… or me? I want to talk about my parents’ rocky marriage as much as you want to talk about elq.

[ Sighs, laughs ] Fair enough. So, uh… how is everything with, uh, you know, your little girl? You’ve reunited, yeah? Oh, man. It’s the best thing in the whole world. Just blew me away how much she’s grown. Incredible. I mean, she was a little shy at first, but every time we get together — every time — it just gets better and better. Really does. It’s like — I don’t know, like we’re building a vocabulary around common experience. She’s just so present. So — so in the moment. And, uh, you and sam? Are you two, uh, “building a vocabulary”? Uh, I mean, sam and I weren’t a couple when I left port charles. But that’s beside the point. I mean, she’s moved on. She — and I don’t blame her. Your brother, dante, he’s, uh — he’s a great guy. Yeah, he’s one of the best. But so are you.

[ Chuckles ] Well, you know what they say about nice guys. Yeah, that’s — that’s actually not true. They don’t always finish last. Maybe I could, uh, help you prove it. Hey, britt. Britt: Hey. Well, I highly doubt that you’re here just to check on me. We made a pact beside nathan’s grave to always support each other, and I take that very seriously. And I heard what happened at your hearing. Quite the bombshell. Well, as you can see, I walked away from that without a scratch. Well, take it from a doctor. Some scratches only show up on the inside. Okay, I assume that you and your mother have been talking about this, but, um, let me guess — she just thinks that I am busy licking my wounds. But I can assure youthat I am doing just fine. Oh, no. You are a big girl. I know you can handle it. All right. Thank you for not seeing me as a victim. You? No way.

[ Chuckles ] It sounds to me like you left the hearing with your head held high, and carly’s head was left spinning. What about sonny? What about him? Well, the way I hear, the two of you are in an interesting place, shall we say? Okay. Okay, britt. Let’s cut to the chase. What do you want? Okay, I-I have a friend who is in a little bit of a sticky situation. He has an aunt who’s even more lethal than my mother. She called in a favor that my friend delivered, and now he’s afraid that she’s going to hold it over his head. Okay, no offense, but you’re not known to have a ton of friends. Are we talking about brad cooper? Yes. And he needs help. The kind of help sonny corinthos can deliver. And you want me to get it for him. I’m not gonna lie to you — it’s only been one night, and I miss you. I miss you, too. Then why are we wasting e-every precious moment here s-staying apart instead of — look, you called my bluff. You — you, you know, went to the metro court, and you proved your point. So let’s figure out w-what we can do to move forward. I’m not trying to prove a point. And I’m not trying to call your bluff, okay? I meant what I said about needing time for myself, sonny. I have to wrap my head around what came out at that hearing — and not just willow’s testimony. You admitted that you have feelings for nina. We can’t get through that if w-we’re sleeping in separate beds or trying to avoid each other instead of working this out. I was tagged, um… in an e-mail from the pharmacy. Did you… refill your prescription?

[ Sighs ] For a second there, I thought you didn’t care. Did you, sonny?

[ Bottle clatters ] I’m on it. Don’t try to change the subject. Now, I’m gonna give you the time that you want, but I’m not gonna give up on our marriage. Are you?

While you were away at the safe house, staying protected from cyrus renault, let’s just say my life has been a lot less eventful. Which is why I traded in my, uh, P.I. License for a liquor license, which you framed and — and — and hand-delivered. But now I’m just a — a hard-working club owner, you know, chasing down a million minute details. Why do I feel like you left out a story or two in your very uneventful life? I have kept in touch with jordan, by the way, and she’s still recuperating. And, well, you’ve told me that things are going very well with you and portia. And kevin has given me glowing reviews about how tj is excelling at the hospital. Yeah. So, did somebody else get under your skin? You do know me, don’t you?

[ Laughs ] I can tell when you’re trying to tough something out. And I know you can handle absolutely anything, but maybe I can help if you let me. We did make some sweet music together on christmas, but when I made the mistake of thinking that you might have some personal interest in me, you told me that you weren’t in the market for a social life. So it’s not the music. It’s me. You know what? You may be a whiz on that clarinet, but you are just like every other man that I have met in my life. You think it’s all about you. You know what? There was somebody else who thought it was all about him, too, and he took my job from me. And compared to him, you’re a saint. But I got my job back, and that’s all that matters. Understood? Yes, yes, yes. Um, understood. Understood, yeah. But you know what? I was beginning to think you were mad at me because I mistakenly called you “doctor.” I’m basically just a placeholder at — at aurora, right? And — and I only took the job because sam asked me as a favor. And — well, actually, she kind of did me the favor by giving me a place to land after I was outed as ceo of elq, but… what are you talking about? Sam said you’re doing an incredible job. The profits are up at aurora. I mean, you’re making it respected throughout the industry. Well, thanks, but you set the standard. I’m just doing my best to maintain it. Look, aurora media… is your vision. We both know that. Always has been, always will be. Now, I-I am more than willing to step aside and let you take your rightful place behind the desk and start calling the shots again. If that’s what you want. Brad’s done some terrible things, and he’s paid for them not only by doing his time in pentonville — he lost his husband and his son. So, when his aunt came to him with a chance for parole, he took it. And now the aunt is making sure that he doesn’t forget that. Okay, what exactly did she ask him to do?

[ Sighs ] Did I ask you for a play-by-play of your time in nixon falls with sonny? Okay, britt, I guess you believe that you know enough to come here and ask me to call in a favor, right? What do you want sonny to do? Sonny can be very persuasive. If he were to intercede on brad’s behalf — wait! Hold on. Stop right there. I — you want sonny to intercede on brad’s behalf with his aunt. Sonny hates brad. I mean, brad kept michael away from his son for a year. Sonny’s never gonna forget that. Not even for you? Nina, I mean, according to the testimony at your hearing, you have pull with sonny! It doesn’t matter what was said at the hearing, britt. All that matters is, sonny loves carly. Nothing else matters. Nothing else? Not even how sonny feels about you? Or how you feel about him? Don’t force me to make decisions about our marriage on your timetable. I’m not — I’m not forcing you to do anything, carly — as if I ever could.

[ Sighs ] But it’s not gonna stop me from telling you how I feel, what I want, and what I want is… …our marriage, you, our family. That’s what happened when — when I wasn’t myself. It wasn’t — it wasn’t the — the medication. It was the memories that brought me back to you. It brought me back to our kids. If you don’t trust h-how I feel about you — if you can’t cross that bridge — trust how you feel about me. ‘Cause that’s gonna tell you all you need to know.

I know how I feel about you. Everything would be so much easier if I didn’T. Well, you know, it’s never easy with us, right? I mean, that’s just the way it is. It’s not who we are. But in the end, it’s — it’s, um…

[ Door opens ] …It’s always good.

[ Door closes ] Ah, I love those guards. They see me, and they just wave me in like I’m one of the family. Oh. On the other hand, maybe they shouldn’t have called me up. Feels like I walked into the middle of something. So, this guy shows up, and he claims to be the father who died decades ago? Wow. I can see why you might be skeptical. I mean, just ’cause the guy has a few details and he has a few photos — I mean, that does not necessarily mean that he is who he claims to be. But you know me, laura. I’m a trained P.I. I’m trained to be skeptical. Pictures can be doctored. Stories can be invented. I was sure this mystery man was up to no good. And then aunt stella confirmed it. Marshall ashford is the man that abandoned us all those years ago and let us believe that he was dead. So now he comes back to port charles, and this man wants to reconnect and — and — and — and start fresh.

[ Sighs ] Tj, god bless him — he — he’s all for it, you know? He was ready to accept him as “grandpa” from the jump. Well, he’s never been hurt by this man. What about you? Are you ready to accept your father back into your life? Are you saying there’s something wrong with being a nurse? No, no, not at all. I-I think it’s a noble profession. And I’m sorry if I touched a nerve when I assumed you — you wanted an “M.D.” After your name. If I overreacted, maybe it’s because there was a time that I did have dreams of being a doctor. No kidding. When I was in high school, I used to haunt the library, poring over the “gray’s anatomy” — the book, not the tv series. I even took an after-school job for a vet so that I could assist her when she was setting the broken bone on a cat or stitching up a dog. That takes real dedication. So what happened, epiphany johnson? Why didn’t you follow your dream? I started aurora media with sam. And when we created it, it was so much more than just a company for us. It — it was our way to — to break free from a life that we used to know — a life that was just filled with so much uncertainty and danger for the family that we wanted to create. A life working closely with my dad. I realize that stepping away like that probably dampened my friendship with sonny. And sometimes I wonder if that was the right thing. Hey, don’t — don’t second-guess yourself. You were right to distance yourself from my father. Britt, don’t you get it? I care about sonny way too much to want to get in between him and carly. But that didn’t stop you in nixon falls. Nixon falls was a fantasy. Now I’m back here. I’m back in reality. And sonny’s reality is at home with his wife and his children — both the older ones and the two little girls at his home. And I don’t want to be the cliché. I don’t want to be the heartless homewrecker. Okay, I certainly understand that. But are you absolutely sure there’s even a home left to wreck? You are family, you’re always welcome, and you’re never an interruption. What that really means is, I stepped in it, didn’t I? Well, if carly gives you a pass, you gotta take it. You know what I mean? Okay, you talked me into it. Yes. Thank you so much.

[ Laughter ] Oh, it’s so good to see you. Good to see you. But I have a feeling that you guys need to talk business, and I need to get to the hotel, so… yeah. Tell the girls that I will be home later tonight to see them. Yep, I’ll see you then.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ] She’s gone now, my man. It’s just the two of us. What’s going on with you two?

Marshall first got here,he wanted to forget the past and start over. I made that abundantly clear that — that that was not okay. So, when he started talking… he, uh — he said he got mixed up in some bad business, got on the wrong side of some seriously dangerous people. Not long after that, he went off the radar. I can relate to that. I thought you might. If his situation is anything like mine, he felt like he had no choice. Stay with the family, put the family at risk. Go underground, the family’s safe. Yeah, that’s exactly what he said. Okay, so, if his story is true, then you’re gonna have to face something that I’m not sure you’re willing to accept. What’s that? That no matter how much your father hurt you, he did it out of love. Why didn’t I become a doctor?

[ Chuckles ] Long story, and my break’s almost over. Wait. You still have a few minutes left. And I’ll skip the lollipop, or whatever it is you reward your patients with if you’ll just tell me. What happened on the way to you not becoming epiphany johnson, M.D.? Life happened. Meaning?

[ Sighs ] You dream big, work hard, and then you learn, sometimes, things just don’t go the way that you planned them to. Been there, for sure. But it’s not too late for me. Says you. I wouldn’t have moved to port charles, new york, if I didn’t believe that. And if it’s not too late for me, then it’s not too late for you. I thought you were devoted to your father? I mean, I know — I know you didn’t go into his business. You took the corporate quartermaine route. But I — I never thought you were ashamed to be a corinthos. No. I’m not — I’m not — I’m not ashamed of my last name. It’s not that. It’s just… my dad and I, we’ve had our differences in the past. And in the present. How so? My dad defended nina reeves in court, despite all the harm that she did to him and my entire family — especially my mother. Yeah, I saw carly last night at the metro court. She did seem pretty upset. But you know your mom. Come on, if she’s not okay now, she’s gonna find a way to be okay very soon. Sorry to keep you waiting, diane. Oh, not to worry. I’m on my third mimosa. Really?

[ Chuckling ] No, no. I’m just — it’s just…coffee. Okay. [ Sighs ] Did someone get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?

[ Sighs ] Wrong side, wrong bed, yeah. Well, now you’ve got my attention. Whose bed are we talking about? My bed, my bed — but not at my house. I’m staying here in the hotel. Okay, before you say another word, did you ask me to speak to you as your friend or your attorney? As my friend. I’m sure you’ve heard all about the dirty laundry that came out at that hearing of nina’S. Yeah, yeah. I got the general gist. I’m so sorry, honey. Yeah. Look, it’s not like I’ve stopped loving sonny. And god knows I adore those girls. But is staying in a broken marriage good for donna and avery? I mean, is love enough? I just — I don’t know — well, in my vast experience, I’ve always found that it takes more than two people to break up a marriage. So you know what I’m up against. Sonny and nina had a relationship in nixon falls, and he’s continuing to protect her back here in port charles. Yeah. And that’s why I’m staying here at the hotel — because I just need some space to, uh, clear my head. Figure out what my options are. You know, what’s best for the girls. And if everything starts going south, I’m just gonna need to make some real — okay, carly, carly, carly? I’ve just got to stop you right there. It’s just about marriage. Something… you know little about. Mm, fair enough.

[ Chuckles ] But I do know something about trouble, and I know you’ve got it. And I ain’t talking about your marriage. One of your suppliers on the left coast is out of business.

[ Sighs ] Permanently. And this “going out of business” sale was brought on by a brand-new player — a complete unknown. Players come and go.

[ Sighs ] What? Sonny, you listening to me? This dude just took out one of your regulars. That’s like waving a red flag in front of el toro, even 2,000 miles away. This player have a name? Everybody’s got a name. I’m working on it. Cyrus made noise about someone filling the power vacuum he left in the west. That could be part of the same party. I’m gonna ask around. I… I got a lot on my mind. Pardon me for asking. Such as? Okay. Just being a friend. I’m gonna say it for you, whether you want to hear it or not. One man. Two women. Sonny… that’s one too many. Of course there’s still a home to wreck — and two little girls are living in it. How can you be so sure? Okay, how can I be so sure? Well, carly was standing at the same spot that you are two days ago. Carly came here looking for you? Yeah. I hope you were wearing body armor. What happened? What do you mean? What happened before she slapped me across the face? Ouch. Yeah, and you — you can guess what she had to say. She blames me for what willow said at the hearing, and then she blames me for what sonny con– confirmed on the witness stand. Even though sonny and I, we never — okay, y-you might have. And you still might, if she keeps driving him into your arms. Is that what earned you the slap? I told carly that if sonny ever showed up on my doorstep again… I wouldn’t say no. Well, from what I’ve been hearing [Laughs] Sonny didn’t come back to a marriage. Sounds more like a prison with two unhappy people locked inside. Did you ever think that maybe you’d be doing sonny and carly a favor if you gave him the key?

Only trying to protect his family by dropping out of sight, why risk it now? That’s an excellent question, and I’m sure you asked it, so what did he say? It was more about what he didn’t say. He claims the danger is less, but he couldn’t or wouldn’t offer any proof to back it up. He warned me against digging into his past. Mm. He said that the only way to keep aunt stella and tj safe is to let things be. And he might be right about that. Or he could be blowing smoke. The point is, I don’t know what to believe, or if this man is even telling the truth. Epiphany johnson, you can be anything you set your mind to. Like becoming a doctor. I didn’t say it would be easy. You can start small — baby steps. By joining your band.

[ Both laugh ] Warmer. But I was thinking of something a little easier. Like dinner for two. I thought you said that you were not into having a social life. Well, I misspoke. I’m new in town, and I’m still putting one toe in the water. And the water is brutal in western new york this time of year. So, what do you say, nurse johnson? Is it too late to start over? That was the second time I ran into your mom. The first time was on the footbridge, and I got the distinct feeling that I was not the person that she wanted to see. Not — not that she blames me for jason’s death. It’s just… that I am still alive. And jason’s not. Last night seemed different. I mean, she really needed somebody to talk to. I-I just happened to be there. You know, if carly was willing to confide in me of all people, it made me think that maybe she’S… desperate?

[ Laughs ] Thanks, man. Really. Wow.

[ Stammers ] Great for my ego. Yeah, I know. What I meant was, I’m just — I’m — I’m very glad that you were there for my mom. Yeah, me, too. I don’t understand. I thought I could tell you anything. Of course you can tell me anything. And trust me, I’ve heard just about everythin and as your friend, I would never presume to judge you or sonny. But if we’re talking about a potential legal separation — possible divorce — just as you have me on retainer, sonny has me on retainer, and I cannot represent one of you without recusing myself from the other.

[ Exhales slowly ] I’m sorry. I-I — I didn’t mean to put you in an awkward position. Welcome to the wonderful world of domestic law. Yeah. Look, whatever decision you make, it’s gonna be one that you do not make lightly. So you have to be honest with yourself, carly. Is this a step you want to take? Don’t bother throwing me out. I know the way. No, no, hey. You know what? It’S… I guess I-it’s public knowledge, everything that came out at that hearing. People talk. It’s my business to listen. Unless, of course, you only value my electronics expertise and not our friendship. No, no, I — y-you know that’s not true. I ap– I appreciate everything that you do, and — and I appreciate you coming to me with this threat in the west coast. I gotta — I gotta keep m-my eyes open, right? Yeah, you do. And as far as what you walked in on this morning…

[ Sighs ] Look, I know you miss jason a lot. Yeah. I miss him, too. Not that anybody can replace him — in your business or your life. I’m just saying… if there’s anything I can do — any way I can help — you know I’m here for you. Yeah, I appreciate that. And I gotta tell you, you know, uh… …this nameless threat is child’s play compared to what carly and i are going through. It’s like we’re in a maze, right? And we’re lost. Well, you know what? I could drop some bread crumbs. Leave you a trail.

[ Laughs ] Nah, you know what? We — we’re gonna have to work this one out ourselves. Nina: No, I-I’m not gonna take advantage of what may or may not be happening in sonny’s home. Nina, it’s so obvious what you want. Why don’t you just go for it? Okay, britt, why am i getting the feeling that there’s something more to this than you just encouraging me to follow my heart? What’s in it for you?

[ Scoffs ] Fine. I thought you wanted an objective opinion, god forbid a friend. But you know what? From now on, you make your own mistakes. No, britt — britt, wait. Yes. Yeah, I’m a little tired of — of being “the other woman” without the benefits. Yes! Now we are talking. Okay, the question is, what do you want to do about it?

I am sorry to lay all my troubles on you, laura.

[ Chuckles ] Come on now. I didn’t just come home to snip ribbons in the strip mall. I wanted to see the people I love, and I hope you know that you’re one of them. Thank you. I mean, balancing the budget of port charles has got to be simpler than unraveling the mystery that is marshall ashford. Yeah. I think I can solve one mystery for you. What’s that? Despite your doubts and questions, I think you do want to have a relationship with your father. Maybe even more than he wants to have one with you. Thank you for your insights. Mm-hmm. You take care of yourself. You, too. Let me know how it all goes. My break’s over, and I have work to do. Understood. Marshall. I have an idea. I’m listening. How do you feel about prime rib grilled to perfection? Mm. Medium-rare? Mm-hmm. With, uh, blue cheese? Mm-hmm. And shrimp on top? Mm-hmm. If you’re serious about dinner, my shift ends at 6:00. The pc grill has some of the best food around and a fantastic wine list. That sounds great to me. And maybe you can finish that long story of yours. We’ll see.

[ Chuckles ] Okay, then. I’m looking forward. Me, too.

[ Door closes ] For what it’s worth, when I left carly last night, I was pretty sure I s– I saw that spark back in her eye, okay? Your mom — your mom may be down, but she is not out. I’m glad to hear that, I am. Honestly, it’s gonna — it’s gonna be pretty hard for my mom and dad to put the pieces back together again. Hey, all y– all you can do is — is just trust that their love for each other is stronger than anything or anyone that comes between them. Right. No, I never used to doubt that, but now I don’t know. Hey, michael, you can’t fix this for them, right? That’s their job. All you can do is be there if they need you. I don’t know what I’m prepared to do. And doesn’t that speak volumes? Carly, if you were ready to pull the plug on your marriage to sonny, we would be sitting here as attorney and client, not as a couple of girlfriends. Yeah, maybe. Perhaps you still want to fight for your marriage more than you realize. Call me if you need to talk… as client or as friend. Nina: There is nothing for me to do as long as sonny, carly, and his children are living under the same roof. You know, I’m just an outsider looking in. I am not gonna break up a family. And as far as brad is concerned, I’m in no position to ask sonny for any favors. Well, I won’t take no for an answer. So if you can’t or won’t reach out to sonny on brad’s behalf, I’ll do it myself. So, if you hear any more chatter about mr. Nobody, let me know. You got it. In the meantime, I’m in town for the next few days. How about we go out to dinner, all three of us? Me, you, and carly? Uh, I’d love to, but I think carly’s probably, uh, busy at the metro court.

[ Cellphone rings ] You need to take that?

[ Ringing stops ] Guess not. Britt, hang up the phone. He picked up. Hey, sonny? My daddy isn’t here, and mama carly isn’t here, either. Uh, okay, avery. Never mind. Thank you so much. Bye. What’s going on? What did avery say? Um, I’m not entirely sure, but it sure sounded like carly’s moved out of the house.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[Both laugh]

Xander: That was–

Gwen: Oh, shh. No, no, no. Don’t talk. Don’t talk.

Xander: All right. Now?

Gwen: No. Not yet.

[Sighs] Okay, now.

Xander: Well, I was just gonna ask, are you finally convinced that I’m over sarah and totally committed to you?

Gwen: Oh, I don’t know. I might need a bit more convincing.

Xander: More? Really?

Gwen: Yeah, unless you don’t have it in you.

Xander: I’ll do whatever it takes. How about shower first?

Gwen: Yeah, go get it started. Nice and hot for me.

[Knock at door] Oh.

[Water running]

[Knock at door] Yes. Okay, fine, I’m coming. I’m coming.

[Sighs]

[Knock at door]

Kristen: Hello, brady. Did you miss me?

Steve: Oh, yeah. We got ourselves a bird’s-eye view of the convent from here. If kristen dimera is masquerading as one of the sisters, we’ll be able to spot her right away. Wat do you think, sweetness?

Kayla: Forgive me, father, for I have sinned. I’ve been having impure thoughts.

Nicole: Get it together, nicole. Get it together. When are you gonna forget about that night?

Rafe: I know I won’T.

[Sexy music]

Ava: Rafe. Rafe?

Duke: Rafe isn’t here. Looks like it’s just you and me, pilgrim.

Ava: Duke.

Duke: You murdered me, ava. Cut off my head with this pair of scissors. I’m here to do the same thing to you.

Ava: No.

[Screams]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Kayla: Steve?

Steve: Over here. How was your nap, sweetness?

Kayla: A little intense. I think that cacio de pepe I had for lunch gave me spicy dreams.

Nicole: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. We can’T.

Rafe: Sure we can.

Nicole: What about ava?

Rafe: I can’t stop thinking about you, and you can’t stop thinking about me. Why fight it?

Nicole: Let’s not.

Ava: You stay away from me. I’m warning you.

Duke: Nowhere to run, ava. Wonder how you’ll look stuffed.

Ava: Keep your filthy paws off me, you overstuffed beanie baby.

Duke: What’re you gonna do with that?

Ava: I will cut off something much worse than your head.

Duke: I’d like to see you try. Gotcha.

Ava: No.

[Screams]

Duke: Ahh! You’re gonna pay for that, goldilocks.

Rafe: Ava, are you okay?

Brady: Kristen, what are you doing here?

Kristen: I’m here to do to you what I did to philip.

Brady: So it was you. Did you hurt him? Did you kill him? What’d you do?

Kristen: [Laughs] What do you think, brady?

Brady: I think we need to talk about this.

Kristen: Ooh. Guess what? No more talking. Hmm? Mm-mm. You see, you cut out my heart, brady. And now I’m gonna cut out yours.

Gwen: Sarah?

Sarah: Hello, gwen.

Gwen: What are you doing here?

Sarah: [Laughs] You know what I’m doing here, bitch. I came to take back my man.

Xander: Sarah? You’re here.

Gwen: Xander. Xander, no. You said that you were totally committed to me.

[Gasps]

Xander: Gwen? What’s wrong? My asthma felt anything but normal.

Xander: Gwen, are you all right? What’s going on?

Gwen: Yeah, I’m fine. I’m fine. I just…had another nasty nightmare is all.

Xander: Oh. Called out my name. I hope I wasn’t the source of the nastiness. Do I need to apologize?

Gwen: No. I called out your name because, well, you’re the only person in this whole cruel, bitter world who knows how to make me feel better.

Xander: Oh, so I was the hero of the piece, eh?

Gwen: You’re always my hero.

Xander: Well, the way you bolted upright, it must have been a really scary dream.

Gwen: It was.

Xander: You’re the toughest person I know. I can’t imagine what would scare you. What was it about?

Gwen: I don’t really remember all the details. Honestly, I don’t really feel like revisiting it anyway, so…

Xander: Fair enough. Probably better to stick with reality. So what can I do to help make the dream go away?

Gwen: Well, for starters, you can chuck that towel away and make love to me.

Xander: Yes, ma’am.

[Knock at door]

Gwen: Oh, don’t– don’t answer it.

Xander: Aren’t you curious about who it could be?

Gwen: No. Doesn’t matter. Everything that we need is right here, isn’t it?

[Knock at door]

Xander: I don’t think whoever it is is gonna go away.

Gwen: Okay, fine. I’ll answer it. I’ll answer it.

Brady: Nicole? Nic. Nic. There you are. Hi.

Nicole: Brady. How long have you been standing there?

Brady: Said your name about three times.

Nicole: Really?

Brady: Yeah.

Nicole: I guess I didn’t hear you.

Brady: Well, you must have been laser focused on those marketing reports.

Nicole: No, actually, I was thinking about something else.

Brady: Must have been important.

Nicole: Not really. Anyway, it doesn’t matter.

Brady: Doesn’t matter? You seem a little flushed. Let me take a stab at this. Were you by chance thinking about the time that you and rafe had sex on that conference table?

Ava: Sorry. I was–bad dream.

Rafe: Oh, must’ve been a rough one.

Ava: Why do you say that?

Rafe: Well, for starters, when I came in, you were growling.

Ava: Growling?

Rafe. Yeah. Yeah, like a lion. And you’re still clutching a nail file.

Ava: Oh. I…

[Chuckles] I don’t remember. Oh. Oh, I didn’t hear you leave this morning.

Rafe: Well, you were sound asleep, so I decided to make a sweet bits run.

Ava: [Sighs] Cappuccino?

Rafe: Mm-hmm. And your favorite. Hmm? Bear claw.

Ava: I think I’ll just stick with the coffee for now.

Rafe: Okay. Okay.

Ava: So why were you up so early this morning?

Rafe: Couldn’t sleep.

Ava: Guilty conscience?

Rafe: What?

Ava: I’m kidding. Come on, what could a good catholic boy like you possibly have to feel guilty about?

Kayla: Um, is there anything to report on kristen?

Steve: Well, as a matter of fact, while you were sleeping off our sinfully delicious lunch, the mother superior called.

Kayla: Oh. With good news?

Steve: Yeah. Turns out our prayers have been answered. There’s room at the convent for sister mary elizabeth.

Kayla: That’s great.

Steve: So why don’t you get out of those clothes and into your habit?

Kayla: Yeah. Um…

Steve: Something wrong, baby?

Kayla: I think I just– I just need a moment or two.

[Knock at door]

Kristen: You wanted to see me, mother superior?

Mother superior: Yes, my child. I wanted to share some news with you.

Kristen: Oh. Good news, I hope?

Mother superior: Definitely. You see, just as we did for you, we’ve decided to provide sanctuary for sister mary elizabeth.

Kristen: Oh, hallelujah and praise the lord.

Mother superior: Well, you’re pleased.

Kristen: I’m overjoyed. It is blessed news, mother superior.

Mother superior: I’m glad you agree. I’d like you to help me begin to prepare for her arrival.

Kristen: It’d be my pleasure.

To be a thriver with

metastatic breast cancer

Nicole: This conference table– I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Brady: Nicole, come on. I’m not being judgmental. Look, I’m just asking as a good friend.

Nicole: Well, it seems one of my other good friends has loose lips.

Brady: Don’t be mad at chloe, okay? She didn’t mean to let it slip out.

Nicole: Yeah, well, she did after I swore her to secrecy.

Brady: Well, she put up a good fight, but I kinda pried it out of her. I’m sorry, okay?

Nicole: It’s fine. It’s fine. It’s really marlena’s fault anyway.

Brady: Marlena’s?

Nicole: Well, the demon was inside of her, technically. When your stepmom was possessed by the devil, she brought deimos back from the dead to terrorize me.

Brady: That was not where I thought this story was going.

Nicole: You think I’m crazy.

Brady: No. Come on, marlena was possessed by the devil twice. At this point, there’s pretty much nothing that i won’t believe. You must have been terrified by that.

Nicole: Well, I-I thought I was losing my mind. So I called rafe, and he came over and he made me feel safe.

Brady: He comforted you.

Nicole: Well, it started out that way. And the next thing I knew, we were on the conference table tearing off each other’s clothes, and… well, you know the rest.

Rafe: You know, you’re not the only one who’s accused me of having something weighing on my conscience.

Ava: Really?

Rafe: Mm-hmm.

Ava: Who else?

Rafe: Well, the da and internal affairs have launched an investigation into my policing practices.

Ava: Okay, that’s crazy. What could they possibly suspect you of?

Rafe: Well, one perp has accused me of planting evidence.

Ava: Well, they’re obviously lying, right?

Rafe: Of course. Yeah. But there’s a second accusation. That perp is claiming that I framed him.

Ava: Okay. Why would all this be coming up right now at the same time? You think it’s a coincidence?

Rafe: Unlikely. No. So either these guys got together and decided that they wanna make me look like a bad cop, or…

Ava: Someone put them up to it.

Rafe: Yeah.

Ava: Yeah.

Rafe: Yeah.

Ava: But who would hate you so much that they would go through all the trouble to ruin your life?

Gwen: What do you want?

Abigail: It’s nice to see you too, gwen.

Gwen: What do you want?

Abigail: I’m here to speak with xander.

Gwen: Well, he’s a bit busy at the moment, so if you’d like to come back tomorrow–

Xander: Did you find something?

Abigail: I did. I tracked down our missing person. My plaque psoriasis…

Gwen: You found sarah?

Abigail: No. No. Not yet. But I did find ned grainger.

Gwen: Who is ned grainger?

Xander: He’s the pilot that flew a private jet out of salem the day that sarah disappeared.

Gwen: Xander, sarah didn’t disappear. She left.

Abigail: What’s the difference?

Gwen: The difference is that that sounds like something very nefarious happened to her. So she wanted to be alone. I mean, what sort of crime is being committed?

Abigail: Well, we’ll see what ned says. I’m meeting him at the pub in 30 minutes. So I’m gonna show him sarah’s picture and–

Gwen: Don’t you think that’s a waste of time, darling? I mean, what’s this ned person going to say anyway?

Xander: I’ll put on some clothes. I wanna come with you.

Gwen: Xander.

Xander: Gwen, I-I wanna speak to this pilot myself and make sure he’s telling the truth, okay?

Gwen: [Sighs] You’re really enjoying yourself, aren’t you?

Abigail: Excuse me?

Gwen: Oh, come on. I know exactly what you are doing. You want xander to find sarah so that he will leave me and go be with her.

Rafe: I have some ideas about who might be setting me up.

Ava: Wait, you don’t think that I did this to you, do you?

Rafe: Wait, what? Why would you say that?

Ava: Well, because you already accused me of mutilating that teddy bear that you and nicole share custody of, which was very hurtful, quite frankly.

Rafe: Okay, I’m sorry. I am sorry. You told me that you didn’t do it; I believe you.

Ava: Okay. I appreciate that.

Rafe: Yeah.

Ava: But I don’t know why I would possibly have any reason to be upset with you or nicole. I mean, you two are the ones I trust most in this world.

Nicole: Rafe and ava are together, and I accept that. And what happened between us was just a one-time thing.

Brady: You don’t have to explain that to me.

Nicole: I just want you to understand that I never meant for this to happen, and it won’t ever happen again, and we agreed to keep our distance.

Brady: You agreed. Is that what you want?

Nicole: What are you asking me?

Brady: Nicole, I’m asking you, do you wanna be with rafe or not?

Nicole: No.

Brady: No?

Nicole: Yes. No. I don’t know. I don’t–

Brady: Well, at least you’re sure about it, so that’s good.

Nicole: It’s not funny, okay? I feel like I’m going crazy.

Brady: You’re not. You’re not. I’m sorry. I can see you’re struggling with this.

Nicole: Brady, what is wrong with me? I can’t stop thinking about it. I had a dream this morning about rafe.

Brady: What kinda dream?

Nicole: That kinda dream.

Brady: Oh, that–okay.

Nicole: We were here on the conference table, and it was more intense than the first time, and it’s just the way he kissed me–

Brady: Okay, okay. I got it. I got it.

Nicole: Sorry. I’m sorry. I just got carried away ’cause–

Brady: I mean, I get it. It’s hard to let go sometimes. This morning, I had a dream about kristen.

Kayla: Okay. No more impure thoughts. You have a job to do, sister mary elizabeth. Oh. Oh, dear god.

Steve: Sorry, baby. Didn’t mean to startle you. Are you okay?

Kayla: Yeah. Yeah, no, I’m fine.

Steve: Are you having doubts about doing this?

Kayla: No. No, I-I–

Steve: Well, I have to tell you, I am.

Kayla: What?

Steve: Kristen dimera may be hiding in the convent, but some habits, pun intended, are hard to break.

Kayla: You still think she’s dangerous.

Steve: Mm-hmm. To paraphrase matthew 7:15, the woman is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Kayla: Wow. That’s impressive, father nichols.

Steve: If I’m gonna play the part, I have to get prepared. Which brings me to my point. You.

Kayla: What about me?

Steve: Sweetness, this is what I do. Okay? I am trained for this kinda thing.

Kayla: And I’m not.

Steve: No, you’re not. Baby, listen, I’m not doubting your bravery or your talents. I know what you’re capable of. But I also know what kristen is capable of.

Kayla: May I remind you that I just locked horns and lips with the devil himself.

Steve: No, no, please don’T.

Kayla: Well, I’m just saying that after being that close to evil, I’m not afraid of anybody on this planet. Not even kristen dimera.

Steve: Okay. Okay, baby, listen. If we’re gonna do this you have to promise me that when you’re inside, you’ll look for evidence that kristen is there, but you won’t look for her.

Kayla: What if I run across her?

Steve: Do not approach. Do not confront her. You get the hell out of there as fast as you can, preferably without her seeing you.

Kayla: Okay. You have my word. As your wife and as a woman of god.

Mother superior: Now then, is everything prepared for the arrival of our guest?

Kristen: It is. It is. I was just looking at some scripture and saying a prayer for father nichols and sister mary elizabeth.

Mother superior: Aww, how very kind. I’m sure they’ll appreciate it.

Kristen: Well, I promise that I will move mountains to accommodate our new sister.

Mother superior: I know you will. Looking to get back in your type 2 diabetes zone?

Ava: I can’t even imagine how upsetting this must be for you. I mean, after all, it’s your reputation at stake.

Rafe: I’m gonna clear my name.

Ava: Yeah. I know you will. I want you to know that no matter what happens, I will always believe in you.

Rafe: Thanks for that.

Ava: Yeah. I mean, you believed in me when everyone else questioned my character. When the whole world saw me as a criminal and a thug, you moved me into your house and you made me feel loved. Nothing is more important to me than loyalty.

Rafe: Me neither. You haven’t touched your bear claw.

Ava: Well, I am in the mood for something sweet. But I don’t think that’s gonna satisfy me.

Rafe: Oh, no? What will?

Nicole: You had a sex dream about kristen?

Brady: Whoa, whoa. No, no. My dream was not as friendly as the one that you had about rafe.

Nicole: Oh, so you had a nightmare.

Brady: You could call it that, sure.

Nicole: Well, kristen’s a nightmare in real life. So there’s that.

Brady: Yeah, well, she’s always been my nightmare.

Nicole: Are you thinking about her again after everything she’s done?

Brady: She’s rachel’s mother, nicole, okay? I’m always going to– I’m always gonna love her.

Nicole: But you’re never going back to her again, right?

Brady: No, no. No, those days are over.

Nicole: Are you sure?

Brady: Yeah, I’m sure. I’m pretty certain she had me framed for philip’s murder. So that’s a deal breaker in my book.

Nicole: Well, I’m glad to hear it.

Brady: I even have steve looking for her. And hopefully, we can get to the truth as to what happened to philip.

Nicole: You know, in some way, I wish that she’d be gone forever. But I would like to see her brought to justice for what she did to me, for what she did to you and to philip and everyone else in this town.

Brady: We’ll see.

Nicole: Has steve had any luck tracking her down?

Brady: I talked to him last night, and he’s in italy.

Nicole: Italy?

Brady: Yeah. And he has a lead. So far, he has not found kristen.

Kayla: Thank you for taking me in on such short notice, mother superior.

Mother superior: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Steve: Psalm 46.

Kayla: Oh, one of my favorites.

Mother superior: Mine as well, sister.

Kayla: I was just telling father nichols that knowing our scripture prepares us for any and all of life’s challenges.

Mother superior: Amen, sister.

Kayla: Amen.

Steve: Amen indeed.

Abigail: Would you take it easy? Me helping xander find sarah has nothing to do with you. I already told you that.

Gwen: Yeah, you know, I didn’t believe you then, and I don’t believe you now.

Abigail: Believe what you want. I’m doing it for aunt maggie. She asked me to help her as a journalist. And yes, I do believe that there’s a story there.

Gwen: Really? So you’re, what, you’re doing this for your “journalistic integrity” to plant these seeds of this wild conspiracy into my boyfriend’s head?

Abigail: It’s not a conspiracy theory.

Gwen: Really? Are you saying that sarah was just taken from salem?

Abigail: What if she was?

Gwen: She wasn’t, abigail. She walked out on rex, just like she walked out on xander. She didn’t want anything to have to do with him, and now xander has moved on. But you are pulling him back in. You are dragging him all around bloody town talking to randos and getting him all worked up.

Abigail: Okay. Gwen, I’m sorry if this is inconvenient or upsetting for you. But it just so happens that the circumstances of sarah’s disappearance from salem have left people who care about her with a lot of questions.

Gwen: Questions?

Abigail: Yes, questions. And if you’re so sure she left of her own free will, then what does it matter to you if I find her anyway? She already told xander she doesn’t wanna be with him. Xander’s made it very clear that he does wanna be with you, right? So unless you have a reason to doubt that… it’s my 5:52 woke-up-like-this migraine medicine.

Gwen: Xander loves me. And there’s nothing you or anyone can do to stop that.

Abigail: Fine. I have no interest in changing that.

Gwen: Come on, abigail. Let’s just be honest with each other.

Abigail: Why the hell would i not be honest about this?

Gwen: Because you’re still not over me sleeping with chad.

Abigail: Chad and I are fine.

Gwen: But you and I aren’T. You claim that you accepted my apology, but you never did. You just stuffed it down and you waited for your time to get back at me.

Abigail: You sound paranoid, gwen.

Gwen: I’m just protective. Unlike you, I wasn’t handed everything in my life. I had to fight for all that I have.

Abigail: Well, let me assure you, there is no one trying to take anything from you. We are just trying to find sarah.

Gwen: Don’t you think that if sarah just wanted to be found by xander or anyone, she would have just turned up by now?

Abigail: Assuming that she’s able to.

Gwen: Now who sounds paranoid? Why can’t you just let the woman be, abigail? And why can’t you just let me have a tiny bit of happiness for the first time in my life?

Xander: Everything okay here?

Gwen: Peachy. Right. Why don’t you go dash off to find this ned grainger person, and then you and I can finish off what we started before we were rudely interrupted by my sister.

Xander: That sounds like a fantastic plan.

Gwen: It’s nice to see you, abigail.

Abigail: Lovely to see you too.

Mother superior: Father nichols, I appreciate your help in delivering sister mary elizabeth to us, but I’m afraid the time has come for you to leave.

Steve: Oh. Well, I thought–

Mother superior: Rules are rules, father.

Steve: All right. Well, thank you for all of your help, reverend mother. Okay, sweet– sweet child of god, please take care of yourself. Stay safe.

Kayla: I promise I will, father.

Mother superior: I’ll see you out.

Brady: Yeah, I pretty much accepted the fact that I’m gonna keep having these nightmares about kristen until steve finds her.

Nicole: Well, hopefully he’ll find philip too.

Brady: Hopefully.

Nicole: Yeah.

Brady: Unfortunately, I don’t see you not having these dreams about rafe anytime soon.

Nicole: Well, the good news is, I’m having trouble falling asleep anyway because of these memories. So no escaping.

[Both laugh] Oh, god.

Brady: You know you’re gonna have to come to terms with how you’re feeling about rafe sooner or later, right?

Nicole: I tried. I tried to move on with ej.

Brady: Yeah, that was a great idea.

Nicole: Okay. All right. It was a big mistake. One I will not make again.

Brady: Uh-huh. Are you sure you can’t just, you know, be with rafe?

Nicole: I care about rafe. And I care about ava. And I’m not gonna come between what they have. Just have to find a way to get him out of my head.

Rafe: You are making it really hard for me to get to work.

Ava: [Laughs] Then I’m doing my job.

Rafe: Yes. You know, it’s always great between us, but that was– I mean, you were–

Ava: Inspired.

Rafe: Yeah. Oh, and before I forget, there was a package came for you.

Ava: Yeah?

Rafe: Mm-hmm.

Ava: From who?

Rafe: I don’t know, okay? It’s on the kitchen table.

Ava: Well, thank you.

Rafe: Okay, what are you doing? What are you doing?

Ava: I’m gonna try to keep you from leaving.

Rafe: Okay. Oh, my god. No. I really have to go. I mean it. I gotta go.

Ava: No.

Both: Okay.

Ava: I understand.

Rafe: Okay.

Ava: You sure?

Rafe: Yeah.

Ava: Rafe.

Rafe: Yeah.

Ava: I know you’ll find out who’s trying to hurt you.

Rafe: I know I will.

Ava: The truth always has a way of coming out.

Rafe: Yeah. Woman: I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

[Dramatic music]

Nicole: Ugh. I have got to get you out of this office.

[Grunting] Oh, my god. What is this thing made of, solid oak? Oh, my– damn it!

Rafe: Need a hand?

Kayla: You must have some kind of roster or softball team photo or something.

Steve: Yeah, brady. Okay, listen, kayla is on the inside. I really hope she’s okay in there. Yeah. Yeah, I’ll keep you posted.

Kristen: Kayla will be just fine, father nichols.

Steve: Kristen.

Kristen: You’re the one who needs to pray for absolution.

Steve: Whoa. Hold on.

Kristen: Uh-uh. It’s time. It’s time you’re given your last rights, patch.

Abigail: Are you sorry you couldn’t hire my uncle steve to help you find sarah?

Xander: Well, I’ll admit he was my first choice, but so far, I’m very impressed with my second choice.

Abigail: Well, I haven’t cost you a dime.

Xander: That’s the best bit.

Abigail: Gee, thanks, I think.

Xander: Do you really think this guy’s gonna show?

Ned: Abigail dimera?

Abigail: Mr. Grainger.

Ned: Ned.

Abigail: Ned. Thanks for coming down here, ned. This is xander cook.

Ned: Nice to meet you. So what’s this all about?

Abigail: Well, we just have a few questions about a flight that you took last march. Do you happen to remember flying this woman out of salem?

Xander: Her name is sarah horton.

Gwen: Ava, where the bloody hell are you? I need your help. Turns out that abigail is not going to rest until she finds sarah, and that means– well, that means that it’s only a matter of time until i lose xander. Please, please phone me back. Phone me back.

[Knock at door] Coming.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Chloe: Mom? Uh, hi. It’s so weird, I was just talking about you.

Nancy: Why haven’t you returned my calls?

Chloe: You came here from new york to ask me that in person?

Nancy: I needed to talk to you.

Chloe: [Sighs] I know. I’m–I’m sorry. I just–I really don’t feel like talking about philip. There’s no news, and it just upsets me. All right?

Nancy: This is not about philip. It’s about your father.

Chloe: My–dad? Dad, what about him?

Nancy: I think he’s having an affair.

Chloe: Mom, I don’t understand.

Nancy: What’s not to understand? You heard me. Your father is cheating on me with another woman.

Lucas: So do i sound rehearsed? Because I feel like it sounds rehearsed.

Kate: Okay, just–

Lucas: I sound rehearsed–

Kate: Just relax. Relax.

Lucas: I’m dead. That’s it.

Kate: You’re not on trial here.

Lucas: Well, I might be, by the end of the day. If I had known that chad was gonna change his story on the stand–

Kate: Oh, what? Would you have left town?

Lucas: Well, I wouldn’t have left town; that would have made everyone more suspicious.

Kate: At the very least.

Lucas: Well, did you at least try to talk him out of it?

Kate: Okay. Listen. Don’t put this on me, okay? You could have thought twice before you kidnapped sami.

Lucas: Don’t judge me, all right, I got enough problems right now.

Kate: Lucas, I’m not judging you. I told you, I made chad swear that he wouldn’t implicate you in the frame-up.

Melinda: Did I hear someone say “frame-up?”

Abigail: What the hell are you talking about?

Evil ej: From the moment I came back to salem, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you.

Abigail: That’s insane. Just get away from me.

Evil ej: I know you’re married to my brother, and I’ve tried hard to push these feelings aside, but it’s impossible.

Abigail: Is this some kind of sick joke? I mean, you have a wife that you are obsessed with. And you were dating nicole.

Evil ej: Only to distract myself. I’ve been using them to try and get you out of my head, but it didn’t work.

Abigail: [Scoffs] You have totally lost it. Just go and get some help, would you?

Evil ej: Abigail, please. I am desperate to get close to you. That’s why I wanted to do johnny’s movie, but it didn’t happen.

Abigail: Will you–can you get out of my way?

Evil ej: How I have longed to ravage you. I never thought I’d get the chance, yet here we are alone, and there’s no time like the present.

Ej: What exactly did chad say to you when you ran into him just now?

Belle: Just that we would be pleased with the outcome of his testimony.

Ej: But he’s the chief material witness against me, and if I’m acquitted, he has to relinquish sole control of the company.

Belle: Both things are true.

Ej: Do you really think he’s on my side? The man used trumped-up evidence to get me ousted from dimera.

Belle: I don’t know. Maybe he realizes he took things too far. He is still your brother, ej. And despite all the bad blood, I think he’s gonna come through for you today.

Abigail: [Gasps]

Chad: What the hell are you doing?

Abigail: Get the hell away from me, you filthy pig!

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

[Soft orchestration]

Lucas: Excuse me.

Kate: Do you have a warrant to eavesdrop on our conversation, trask?

Melinda: You were talking freely in the middle of the hallway. Something about a frame-up?

Kate: Mm. Well, if you have to know, my son and I were discussing ej’s insistence that he was framed.

Melinda: What about it?

Kate: I think it’s baseless. Really the act of a desperate man.

Melinda: I happen to agree, and hopefully, lucas, you’ll help put ej dimera away for a very long time.

Lucas: Yeah. Yeah. That is the plan.

Melinda: I do wish sami were joining you in testifying.

Kate: Well, you have her deposition, right?

Melinda: Yes, but that’s not nearly as convincing as an in-person testimony would be.

Kate: Hm.

Lucas: You can’t really blame her for not wanting to be in the same room as the guy who kidnapped her, right?

Kate: Right, if I were sami, I would avoid contact at all costs.

Ej: I appreciate your optimism, belle, but let’s just say chad has had a change of heart. Would he really tell the truth on the witness stand?

Belle: You mean would he admit to framing you?

Ej: He could go to jail for that.

Belle: I don’t know. He was about to drop some big bombshell, right before his whole coughing fit, so–

Ej: You think that was his conscience bubbling up in his chest?

Belle: I don’t know what it was, but I’ve known chad a long time, and I think he’s a fundamentally good guy.

Ej: Are you implying I’m not?

Belle: All I’m saying is that, if you are innocent, and chad knows it, I think he’d have a really hard time lying on the stand.

Ej: Hm.

Abigail: You son of a bitch!

Chad: What do you think you’re doing kissing my wife against her will, huh?

Evil ej: How do you know it was against her will?

Abigail: What are you insinuating, you freak? It was more than against my will; it was an attack.

Chad: Listen, you want to come against me? Huh? You leave her out of it. You understand?

Evil ej: Not everything is about you, chad. You see, the truth is I could be going away for a lot of years, and I didn’t want to do that without feeling abigail’s sweet lips against mine, one more time.

Abigail: Stop–no, please. The bailiff’s right outside, and he is not worth it.

Chad: You’re right.

Evil ej: Well, I guess I’ll see you in court. Thanks for the kiss, abigail. I’ll treasure the memory… mm. Always.

[Tense music]

Melinda: I can’t imagine. Is she doing well?

Lucas: Yeah, yeah. She’s doing okay, considering, you know, what she’s been through. Sure, sure.

Johnny: That ought to get chad back on board. Now, he’s just dying to send his brother dearest to jail for a very long time. It’s my 3:10, no-exit-in-sight,

Chloe: Here you go.

Nancy: Thank you, sweetheart. Look, my hands are shaking.

Chloe: It’s okay, mom. Just take a deep breath, okay?

Brady: Yeah. Now–now, tell us, why do you think craig is having an affair?

Nancy: Well, first of all, he’s–he’s been staying late at the hospital now, for months.

Chloe: Yeah, but that’s not new. He’s been doing that for as long as I can remember.

Nancy: Not three times a week. Anyway, at first, I kind of thought maybe he was getting bored with me, which was hurtful enough until, when he came home from the medical conference in dallas, I found condoms in his briefcase.

Chloe: Uh, ew, mom. Okay. Ugh. I’m sorry, but did you confront him about it?

Nancy: I did. Oh, and he was so angry for me snooping, of course. But before he stormed out, he said, “they were giving away condoms at the safe sex seminar.” Part of a swag bag or whatever.

Brady: I suppose that’s– that’s possible, right?

Nancy: I–I just don’t know. Sweetheart, please be honest with me. Have you noticed your father behaving differently lately? I mean, has he said anything to you?

Chloe: Honestly, I haven’t really talked to him in a few weeks.

Nancy: Well, now that’s not right either, especially with everything you’re going through with philip.

[Sighs]

Chloe: No. It’s–it’s okay. Have you talked to joy about this?

Nancy: No. And I don’t want her to know. Grad school is hard enough. Obviously, um, parker’s in boarding school, so he has no idea, and–

Chloe: It’s–it’s okay. I won’t say anything to them, but, I don’t know, I just kind of find this hard to believe. I mean, you and dad have the best marriage I’ve ever seen, since forever.

Nancy: I used to think so too, but now I don’t know.

[Sighs]

Brady: Nancy, do you– do you have any other reason to suspect him?

Chloe: Mom?

Nancy: Well, I hate to admit it, but… I logged on to his credit card account, just to see if there were any suspicious purchases. I mean, I felt so sneaky. I mean, after snooping in his briefcase, but–

Brady: Did you find anything?

Nancy: It depends on whether you think $500 restaurant bills are normal business expenses.

Chloe: Um, well– well, where is he now?

Nancy: He’s in dallas, at another conference. I should have just confronted him before he got on the plane. In fact, I’m gonna go do it now.

Chloe: You want to fly to texas?

Nancy: I’ve got to know the truth, even if I end up in the middle of “craig wesley does dallas.” Oh, my god, why am i making stupid, lewd jokes? I guess because being serious is just too painful. I’m gonna let you two know how it goes.

Brady: Nancy, wait. I think you’d be making a big mistake.

Melinda: The judge should be calling us back any minute. Once I’m done with chad, you’ll be my next witness. Are you ready?

Lucas: Yeah. Yeah, I’m ready.

Melinda: You seem nervous. I can count on you to stay cool up there, right?

Lucas: Yeah. I’ll be fine. Really.

Kate: He’ll be fine. Really.

Lucas: What, was that completely necessary?

Kate: Was what necessary?

Lucas: Will you give it a break, okay? I saw the way you looked at me. I’m not gonna hurt sami. I would never do that.

Johnny: Are we talking about my mother?

Kate: Where the hell did you come from?

Johnny: Maybe I’ve been here all along. I hope you’re taking good care of my mom.

Kate: [Sighs] From my experience with sami, she doesn’t need anyone to take care of her.

Johnny: But still. Everything that poor woman has been through. I can’t imagine the terror of being kidnapped and then finding out that it was by somebody you loved, allegedly.

Lucas: Uh, nothing alleged about it.

Johnny: Well, my father says that he’s innocent, and I believe him. Anyway, I’m just so relieved to know that she’s safe and that she’s got you looking out for her.

[Tense music]

Gabi: I can’t believe ej is signing his shares of dimera over to johnny.

Jake: I guess he figures, if he’s going away, might as well give his shares to his son.

Gabi: Yeah, but johnny’s never been interested in dimera. He’s always wanted to be a filmmaker.

Jake: Right, but his film didn’t get made, thanks to a little devilish intervention. Everybody’s got to have a plan b, right?

Gabi: He is ej’s son.

Jake: Dimera after all.

Gabi: It just doesn’t make sense for ej to just give up.

Jake: Huh. Well, maybe he figures he’s going away for sure.

Gabi: Maybe his plan is to control johnny from prison. I mean, he’ll be behind bars, but he’ll still be pulling the strings.

Jake: I don’t know. I wouldn’t be so sure about that, because I talked to shin; according to the legal department, this whole thing was johnny’s idea.

Johnny: Hey, pops.

Ej: There you are. I was wondering where you’d gotten to.

Johnny: Sorry, I uh– I suddenly became very thirsty, and I wanted to make sure I got it taken care of before the trial resumed.

Ej: It’s good to see you.

Chad: Hey, hey. Are you okay?

Abigail: I’m fine. I’m just– I feel rattled. I’m– I was about to knee him in the groin when you came in.

Chad: I would have liked to have seen that.

Abigail: But I just don’t get it; why would he just come on to me, out of the blue like that?

Chad: He’s just trying to stir things up.

Abigail: But for what purpose? He’s been obsessed with sami ever since he got to salem. I mean, he’s loving her, and he’s hating her, and he’s loving her again, and–

Chad: Okay. Shh. Shh. It’s just he hates her again.

Abigail: But his future is in your hands. Why would he practically attack me when you are getting ready to take the stand?

Chad: Honestly, I don’t know, and I don’t care, okay? As long as he’s gone. Prison is too good for that son of a bitch.

Brady: Before you go off and do something you might regret, I want to share something that happened between chloe and me recently.

Chloe: Brady–

Nancy: What is it?

Brady: Well, before philip disappeared, he was convinced that chloe was cheating on him with me.

Nancy: Were you?

Chloe: No. Of course not.

Brady: And we tried to get philip to believe us, but he wouldn’T. We ended up going on a business trip. He followed us, and he burst into our motel room.

Nancy: Your motel room? Singular?

Brady: It was– it was the only room available. It was completely innocent.

Chloe: Yeah. I tried to get philip to see that, but he didn’t believe me. And then his jealousy just got so out of hand that I had to take a step back from him.

Nancy: Are you saying that I’m being irrationally jealous?

Brady: No, what we’re saying is I think you should be absolutely certain before doing something rash. Things aren’t always what they appear.

Gabi: All right, let’s just say johnny found a way to get his dad to sign over his company’s shares. He’s probably doing it to help ej out.

Jake: Mm, you know better than I do.

Gabi: I’ve known johnny since he was a kid. He may be an artist, but he worships ej. He’s gonna vote whatever way ej tells him.

Jake: Maybe.

Gabi: What does that mean?

Jake: It’s just that last time we held a vote at dimera, johnny was too young to vote his shares. Now he’s old enough, okay, that’s– that’s pretty heavy stuff.

Gabi: What, you think he’s trying to make a play on his own?

Jake: I’m just saying. His shares coupled with ej’s shares, it’s a pretty powerful voting bloc. Could do a lot of damage.

Gabi: It could also stop our plan in its tracks.

Jake: Yes, but– okay, hear me out. If johnny really is ej’s mini me, he’s all ambition, no scruples.

Gabi: Which could make him corruptible.

Jake: And an excellent ally for our cause. Hm?

Judge: Please be seated.

[Tense music]

Ej: What’s that about?

Belle: You tell me.

Judge: Mr. Dimera. I trust you’re feeling better.

Chad: Yes, your honor.

Judge: Good, and I remind you, you’re still under oath. Try not to choke this time.

Chad: Yes, your honor.

Judge: Before your dramatic coughing display, you were sharing details about how the defendant’s financial transactions came to light.

Chad: Yes. A few days before the kidnapping, a transaction was made from a private dimera account. An account that only three executives have access to. Me, kate roberts, and my brother. There is no doubt in my mind that my brother is as guilty as sin, and if I were you, I would lock him up and throw away the key.

[Dramatic music]

My asthma felt anything but normal.

Belle: Chad! I mean, mr. Dimera, you just told me–

Melinda: I’m sorry. Are you saying that counsel had an ex parte conversation with my witness?

Judge: Ms. Brady?

Belle: No, your honor.

[Clears throat] No further questions.

Judge: Ms. Trask, you wish to redirect?

Melinda: I don’t, your honor.

Judge: All right. Mr. Dimera, you may step down. We’ll take another brief recess and back with the prosecution’s next witness.

Bailiff: All rise.

[Tense music]

Johnny: Hey, what do you think you’re doing? You probably just sent my dad to prison for a decade. How can you call yourself a dimera, you traitor?

Chad: Why don’t you ask your father that question, after what he did to my wife.

Ej: What the hell are you talking about?

Chloe: Look, mom, I know that dad loves you. He really does, and you guys have such a great connection. You may be hurting right now, but I think that brady’s right. I think it would be a mistake to go confront dad if you’re not even sure that there is a problem.

Nancy: Yeah. I get what you’re saying, and I’m sorry, sweetheart, I– I know craig is your father, and you’re just being protective of him, and, well, I shouldn’t have involved you in this.

Chloe: No, no. You needed to talk about it, okay?

Nancy: Thank you, sweetheart, but I shouldn’t have dumped this mess in your lap, especially with everything you’ve gone through with philip.

Chloe: I’m fine, mom.

Nancy: Well, I just want you to know that, no matter what, I’m still here for you. And obviously brady is too.

Brady: Why’d you say it like that?

Nancy: Like what?

Brady: Nothing. I’m sorry. Nothing.

Nancy: No, no. What?

Brady: Well, it sounded like you were accusing us of a little something.

Nancy: No, no. No, I wasn’T.

Chloe: Just say it, mom.

Nancy: Well, I know you both said that you told philip that nothing was going on between you two, but from the looks of things, I can’t help wondering.

Chloe: Wondering what?

Nancy: If it’s just a matter of time before you guys get together again?

Chad: Don’T. Don’t you play innocent, you understand me? You know what you did.

Ej: What is this about?

Chad: Abby, let’s go. We don’t need to hear the verdict. We’ll see you in ten years– or never. Yeah. Never sounds good.

Ej: What the hell was that?

Johnny: Who knows? I guess chad just wanted you out of the way, like he always has.

Ej: He acted like I did something awful to him– to abigail, actually, and recently.

Johnny: Hasn’t that always been his mo? Paint you out as the villain, so he can play good guy.

Ej: I suppose so.

Johnny: Look, it’s a good thing that you signed your shares over to me. That way, I can protect the company. Which reminds me, I should probably get these documents over to the dimera lawyers to finalize the power of attorney transfer.

Ej: You’re leaving?

Belle: Now? Why? What’s the hurry?

Johnny: The sooner we make this official, the less damage chad can do. This hearing just proved that we can’t trust him.

Belle: Ej, listen, I am– I am so sorry I got your hopes up about chad’s testimony. I really thought that–

Ej: I know what you thought.

Belle: Listen, I don’t understand what happened up there. I really thought he was going to exonerate you.

Lucas: So much for chad clearing ej’s name.

Kate: [Sighs] Yeah. Well, obviously he did change his mind, but why?

Lucas: Oh, I don’t know. I don’t care. You’re not gonna hear me complaining about it. But now that that’s all over, you can go.

Kate: Why?

Lucas: What do you mean why? Trask is gonna call me to the stand next. I don’t want your beady eyes boring into me when I’m testifying.

Kate: Oh, really? Really? Or do you just not want me watching you while you lie up there?

Lucas: No, I don’t want you to see that.

Kate: No. That’s fine. I mostly came to support chad anyway.

Lucas: That’s all right. That’s what I thought.

Kate: You know I love you, no matter how much you mess up, all right? And good luck. Don’t leave town without telling me first.

Bailiff: All rise. Court is back in session.

Judge: Be seated. Ms. Trask, please call your next witness.

Melinda: The state calls lucas horton to the stand.

[Tense music]

Bailiff: Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you god?

Lucas: I do. I’ve got moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Chloe: Mom, there is nothing going on between me and brady.

Brady: Nothing at all. We’re just good friends.

Chloe: And we’re coworkers, so we spend a lot of time together.

Brady: Exactly.

Nancy: So you’re not living together?

Both: No.

Chloe: Why would you ask that?

Nancy: Well, if I leave your father, I’m gonna need someplace to stay. Will it be all right if I crash at your place?

Chloe: Okay, uh, let’s just take this one step at a time, all right?

Lucas: Yes. That’s him.

Melinda: Let the record show that mr. Horton has positively identified jason smith as the man that was holding ms. Dimera captive at the time that he found her. The same jason smith that was the recipient of cash payments from dimera enterprises, as per chad dimera’s testimony and accompanying evidence in the record.

Judge: Noted.

Melinda: Thank you. No further questions, your honor.

Judge: Thank you. Your witness, ms. Brady.

Belle: Mr. Horton, did jason smith ever state to you that he was hired by my client to kidnap sami dimera?

Lucas: No.

Belle: Hm. Did he imply it?

Lucas: No, we never discuss–

Belle: So you have no direct knowledge that my client had anything to do with the kidnapping of sami dimera.

Lucas: Direct knowledge? No. I suppose not.

Belle: You suppose not. Frankly, mr. Horton, I don’t know what you’re doing here.

Melinda: Objection!

Belle: Withdrawn. But since you are here, I’ll just ask you this. How do we know you didn’t kidnap sami dimera?

Abigail: I just can’t get over how dumb ej was to make that stupid, disgusting pass at me. I mean, here you were all set to let him off the hook.

Chad: He didn’t know that.

Abigail: But you hinted it to belle. Why would he antagonize you, right before you take the stand?

Chad: I–who knows why my– why my brother does anything? My wife’s the hottest woman on the planet. Maybe he just couldn’t help himself. Hm?

Abigail: What exactly were you planning to say today?

Chad: What difference does it make?

Abigail: I know you didn’t want me to know about it in advance, but I want to know now.

Chad: Why?

Abigail: Ej’s not innocent, is he?

Chad: Ej? Ej is anything but innocent.

Jake: You said you’ve known johnny since he was a little kid, right?

Gabi: That’s right.

Jake: Maybe you can help him see the benefit of joining team jabriela.

[Both laugh]

Gabi: I don’t think he’s gonna like that name.

Jake: But he is gonna like what we can offer him. A chance to get out from his father’s shadow, real power.

Gabi: We could consolidate his votes and ej’s with ours.

Jake: We’ll be running dimera in no time.

Gabi: You are good at this.

Jake: No, no, no. We are good at this, and if we got the kid on our side, we’d be unstoppable.

Gabi: We just have to figure out a way to make johnny see things our way.

Jake: Mm.

Johnny: It sounds like somebody’s taking my name in vain.

[Tense music]

Honestly, I thought I was getting my floors cleaned.

Nancy: So you don’t think I should fly to dallas and confront your father? What, I should just sit at home and knit him a sweater and pretend like everything is hunky-dory?

Chloe: No. Of course not. But I think that maybe you should first start by splashing some cold water on your face, and we’ll order something to eat and come up with a plan.

Nancy: This isn’t your responsibility.

Chloe: I love you, mom, and I love dad, and I’ll do whatever it takes to help this work out.

Nancy: Thank you, sweetheart. Now, would you get me something to drink, a little stronger than tea please?

Chloe: [Chuckles] You got it.

Brady: You okay?

Chloe: I don’t–I don’t know. I mean, I guess I’m just a little thrown.

Brady: Yeah.

Chloe: I mean, craig and nancy have always been known for their bickering, but I always felt like they were truly in love.

Brady: Yeah. Like my dad and marlena, the ultimate happy couple. Heck, they beat the devil– twice.

Chloe: I guess every marriage has bumps in the road.

Brady: Yeah. Let’s hope that’s all this is.

Chloe: Well, I guess there’s only one way to find out.

Johnny: If you’re gonna be talking about me behind my back, we should at least be properly introduced.

Gabi: Oh, I know you very well, johnny.

Johnny: But he doesn’T. As you’ve probably heard, I’m a man of wealth and taste. Johnny dimera, your nephew.

Jake: Ah, guess that makes me uncle jake.

Johnny: I can’t believe we haven’t met before now.

Jake: Yeah, well, I wasn’t really running with the dimera inner circle.

Johnny: And I haven’t seen you since I was running around in an eyepatch and your brother’s police vest.

Gabi: Now you’re all grown up.

Johnny: You’ve done some growing up yourself. So now that the introductions are all out of the way, why don’t you fill me in on what you were talking about?

Jake: [Laughs] You know, you’re not the only johnny in town, pal.

Johnny: No, but I’m the only one that matters to you. Let me guess. Shin told you that my father was giving me power of attorney to vote his shares.

Jake: Wow. Kid’s psychic.

Johnny: I just know what makes news, although I’m not quite sure how it concerns you, considering you’re no longer an employee of dimera.

Gabi: Oh, johnny. See, that’s where you’re wrong. We may not be employees, but jake still holds shares of dimera stock.

Jake: Yes, and gabi still holds your late uncle stefan’s shares, which means we still have a voice at the company.

Gabi: And we were thinking–

Jake: That it’s very possible our interests could align.

Chad: Ej’s lucky I didn’t tell the judge what he did to you today. They would have charged him with sexual assault. And with his history, they would have added years to his sentence.

Abigail: Yeah.

Chad: What? What’s wrong?

Abigail: I just–I cannot stop hearing ej say how he wanted to take me on the conference table. It didn’t even sound like–

Chad: Wait, what, he– he said that to you? Why didn’t you tell me?

Abigail: Because I knew you would kill him on the spot.

Chad: Yeah, he would have deserved it.

Abigail: It just all came so out of the blue. He came in, I thought he wanted to talk about the case, and then–

Chad: I swear to god, if they don’t lock him up for a very long time–

Abigail: After your testimony, they will.

Chad: Let’s just hope that neither one of us have to deal with him ever again.

Abigail: [Sighs] I think I’m gonna go upstairs, and I’m gonna check on the kids, and I’m gonna take a shower.

Chad: How would you feel if I joined you?

Abigail: I’d feel pretty good about that.

Chad: Yeah?

Abigail: Yeah.

[Soft dramatic music]

[Doorbell rings]

Chad: Hey.

Kate: Hey.

Chad: Is the trial over?

Kate: No, no. Lucas just wanted me to leave before he testified.

Chad: Why?

Kate: He said I make him nervous.

Chad: Because you know what he did to sami?

Kate: Yeah. Probably.

Chad: What are you doing here?

Kate: Well, I’m here because I wanted to know what happened to you up there on the stand. I thought you were going to ride to ej’s rescue.

Chad: That was before I walked in on him with his tongue down abigail’s throat.

Lucas: I had nothing to do with sami’s kidnapping. And you sound as desperate as your client. Grasping at straws, blaming everyone under the sun.

Belle: I’m only asking you.

Lucas: And I’m telling you that it’s ridiculous. All right, ej’s jealous because sami and i wound up together.

Belle: Oh. Well, just for the sake of putting this to bed, I’m sure you wouldn’t mind establishing for the court. Do you have an alibi for the time of sami dimera’s kidnapping?

Melinda: Objection. This is a fishing expedition.

Judge: I’ll allow it.

Lucas: When sami was kidnapped, I was with my brother, philip.

Belle: You were with philip kiriakis.

Lucas: Who, as you know, is unfortunately missing and presumed dead right now.

Belle: So you can’t prove where you were?

Lucas: I’m sorry that my alibi might be dead.

Belle: Pretty convenient, no?

Lucas: Wait, am I the one on trial here, right now?

Belle: No. You’re not.

Lucas: Good, because jason smith named ej the kidnapper. You know there was a paper trail to back it up–

Ej: Which you obviously helped my brother plant!

Judge: Mr. Dimera–

Ej: You are the one that should be on trial here! You kidnapped samantha!

Judge: That is enough.

Ej: And if you lay a finger on her–

Lucas: You’ll what?

Ej: I’ll kill you!

[Dramatic music]

This is the sound of nature breathing.

Brady: Don’t tell me you’re going to go to dallas and confront your dad.

Chloe: Well, let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.

[Phone ringing]

[Sighs] Voicemail.

[Message tone beeps] Hi, daddy. It’s me, chloe. Um, can you please call me back as soon as you can? Um, there’s something I want to discuss with you.

Judge: Order. Order in my courtroom. Ms. Brady, I’m going to pretend I didn’t just hear your client make a death threat in my courtroom, but you best muzzle him, ’cause I will hold him in contempt.

Lucas: May I step down now?

Judge: You don’t ask. I tell. You may step down. Court stays in recess for the rest of the day. Mr. Dimera, I suggest you get a good night’s sleep and come prepared to sit quietly tomorrow.

Bailiff: All rise.

Ej: You know he’s lying, right?

Melinda: It is not appropriate for you to talk to me unless you’re ready to take a plea deal.

Ej: He lied on the witness stand. You should charge him with perjury.

Lucas: The rant of a desperate, guilty man. I’ll be sure to tell sami how far you’ve fallen.

Melinda: I’ll see you tomorrow, mr. Dimera. You should enjoy your freedom while you still can.

Ej: Oh, he can’t get away with this.

Belle: That was not a smart–

Ej: I don’t care! Aren’t you worried that your sister is going to be with the man who kidnapped her?

Belle: We don’t know it was lucas.

Ej: If chad planted that evidence, he obviously got it from the real kidnapper. Who else could it have been?

Belle: We need to focus on beating these charges. I just did my best to impeach lucas’ testimony up there, and we’re just gonna have to hope that that’s enough. I want to know why chad changed his mind up there.

Ej: You really think he was planning on exonerating me?

Belle: I do, which means something happened in between to make him furious with you.

Ej: But what? I didn’t even see him.

Kate: Why the hell would he do something like that to abigail? I mean, I know they have a history, but it’s totally stupid and pointless, and frankly, disgusting.

Chad: My brother’s always been his own worst enemy.

Kate: Yeah, but chad, he’s not a fool. He had to know how you were going to react. It’s almost like he wanted you to send him to prison.

Johnny: I think this proposal has potential.

Gabi: You’re interested?

Johnny: Oh, I’m very… interested. Text me, and we’ll set up a time for me to hear your offer.

Jake: Or we could talk now.

Johnny: Can’T. Sorry. Got to dash. Things to do, you know. It was great seeing you again.

Jake: Is it me, or is that little punk hitting on you?

Gabi: No, he definitely was, but maybe– maybe we can use that to our advantage.

[Ominous music]

Demon johnny: [Sighs] Always thought she was hot, and soon she’ll be mine. [Chuckles] Doing the devil’s handiwork has so many fringe benefits.

[ Dramatic music ]

Brooke: Oh, god.

Brooke: Oh, I–

[ Brooke laughing ]

[ Knocking on door ]

Brooke: Taylor?

Taylor: Hi, brooke.

Brooke: Ridge isn’t here. He’s at the office.

Taylor: Yes, I know. I know that. I’m here to see you.

Sheila: Brooke, brooke, brooke. What happened on new year’s eve? Did my champagne switch work? Hm. Has the all high and mighty brooke logan taken a swan dive off of her high horse? I guess it certainly would serve her right for threatening me. Using her influence over a bridge to keep me away from my son.

Ridge: Wow, you really went above and beyond on this, max.

Max: Thank you. Carter told me you wanted the contract locked down this quarter. I deliver.

Carter: I got to say, man, I did not expect you to get it done qui so fast.

Max: Well, apparently the suppliers find me a lot more persuasive than you do. You know, I’ve been trying to get carter to go out with the guys.

Ridge: I–

Carter: I’m not blowing you off. I’ve been…busy.

Max: Yeah, I’ve heard that excuse before. Come on, man. You’ve been on the sidelines ever since you broke off your engagement. You got to get back in the game.

Ridge: Yeah, carter. Why aren’t you back in the game? What is that? You’re not ready? Or you’ve got your eye on somebody already?

Zende: I know this is taking a while. I need to get this…right. I think we’re almost there.

Sequoyah: I don’t mind at all, zende. In fact, I was thinking I’d like to spend more time with you. Outside of work. Maybe we can get a drink tonight?

Zende: Get a drink?

Paris: We’re so lucky.

We’re young and single,

and we don’t have stuff

tying us down.

Sequoyah: If you can’t, it’s okay. I just thought–

Zende: Yes. Drinks tonight sound great. I’d like that.

Sequoyah: Me too. It’s a date.

Zende: Yeah. Yeah. .Paris: Hey, sequoyah, zende.

Zende: Paris… hey.

Paris: Did I just hear you guys are going out tonight?

Max: Wait. Is ridge right? You’ve been holding out on us. You’ve got your eye on someone?

Max: Invite her to join us. Tell her to bring her friends.

Ridge: Unless he wants to keep her secret.

Carter: Guys, guys. There isn’t anyone. I’m not involved with anybody.

Max: Then come out with us, man. You can meet someone. Ridge, help me out with this. In fact, you can come too.

Ridge. No, no.

Max: I know you got your missus all set, but we could use a wingman.

Ridge: I’m not–

Carter: Wingman?

Max: Carter. It’s time. There are so many gorgeous women and interesting women in los angeles. Heck, there’s so many gorgeous and interesting women right here at forrester creations.

Carter: I’m well aware of that, max.

Max: Good. We’re going to bikini tonight. I’ll text you the details. All right? Ridge, please talk some sense into this guy. All right?

Ridge: Okay.

Max: Carter, don’t back out, either.

[ Carter sighing ]

Zende: Thanks sequoyah. I’ll find you later.

Sequoyah: You better.

Paris: You and sequouyah are going out tonight?

Zende: She asked me to get drinks.

Paris: You said yes.

Zende: I wasn’t going to. But then I thought about everything you said on new year’S. I don’t know where we stand right now, paris, but you made it clear that you’re not ready to be serious. Am I wrong about that?

Sheila: Deacon could have told me what happened on new year’s eve, but he didn’t, why? What could have happened that he can’t even risk me getting a hint of it? What did you do, brooke? What did you do that nobody can know about?

Brooke: So, what did you want to see me about?

Taylor: Well, I’ve been thinking about our conversation. You said that there was no reason that we should be at odds. One day we could even be friends.

Brooke: I remember.

Taylor: So, I’m here as a friend, brooke. I just–I want you to know that.

Brooke: Are you sure this is a friendly visit?

Taylor: I–I spoke with hope. And steffy talked to ridge. They’re both very concerned about you. There’s something weighing on you. Everyone who cares about you can see it. I just–I wanted to come by and see how you were doing. Offer my help. When they’re sick, they get comfortable anywhere

Ridge: Are you going to take max up on his offer?

Carter: Maybe another time.

Ridge: Might be a good time to get back out there.

Carter: I’m in no hurry.

Ridge: Why is that? You like being alone? Or you got your mind on somebody else? Like quinn.

Carter: No.

Ridge: You’re not thinking about her?

Carter: No, ridge. I gave you my word. Never betray eric like that again.

Ridge: That’s not what I asked you.

Carter: Am I thinking about quinn? Less and less. I’m determined to be the guy you thought I was. So right now, I just want my life to be simple, uncomplicated.

Ridge: That’s simplE. Don’t get involved with women that are already involved with someone else.

Zende: New year’s eve, you told me that you wanted to be single. That you’re not ready for anything serious. Now, you’re asking me about my plans with sequoyah.

Paris: Yeah, I–I shouldn’t have done that. I was just surprised.

Zende: That’s it? Surprised?

Paris: I meant what I said. We need to have more experiences, be young and free. You obviously heard me.

Zende: Ah, I did.

Paris: I’m sorry if you feel let down.

Zende: No. I’m glad you were honest with me. I understand where you’re coming from.

Sheila: Deacon is a dead end because he is always going to protect brooke. There’s got to be somebody just as interested in what’s going on in her life. Taylor.

Taylor: I understand if you’re not comfortable opening up to me. But I do want to help. I told hope the same thing. I don’t know if she mentioned that to you.

Brooke: No, I haven’t seen her today. I’ve been working from home.

Taylor: Are you– are you feeling okay?

Brooke: Yeah, I’m– I’m fine.

Taylor: Really? I– you know, hope implied that you and ridge were having a hard time. And steffy and thomas said that you haven’t been coming into the office.

Brooke: Oh. Oh? I don’t know if I really like the fact that everybody’s talking about me.

Taylor: You know, I realize that having deacon back in town has been very challenging for you and ridge. That’s it, isn’t it? That’s why your family’s so concerned. Oh, brooke. Ah, we all have things in our past that we’re not proud of. And when you’re confronted with them… they can be upsetting. I’m right, aren’t I? Whatever’s troubling you involves deacon. I’m amber.

Paris: I don’t want you thinking that I want to stop seeing you. We have an amazing time together. You’re smart, you’re caring, romantic. And I never have to question your feelings for me. You’re genuine and open. And whenever we are together, you’re totally present, and I never take that for granted.

Zende: I feel the same way about you. But I get it. You’re not… ready to be tied down.

Paris: Look. I can’t be greedy and keep you all to myself.

Zende: So, you good with this?

Paris: I want you to be happy. So, you and sequoyah go out, have fun.

Zende: Yeah?

Paris: Yeah. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to hear about it tomorrow. But yeah. It’s all right.

Zende: We can still care about each other and not the exclusive.

Paris: Absolutely.

Zende: I nted you to know that my plans have not completely changed. I still see a future with you in it, paris. And it may be ten years from now. But someday, I’m going to make you my wife.

Paris: And I’d be the luckiest girl in the world.

Taylor: Brooke, I’m a psychiatrist. I help people. So, I’m offering to help you.

Brooke: I appreciate that, but I have a wonderful support system of my own.

Taylor: Fair enough. If you…feel like you want to talk to someone outside your immediate family, I’m here.

Brooke: My family is my foundation. And I just want to make them proud.

Ridge: Taylor?

Taylor: Hi. I just came by to check on brooke.

Ridge: Right.

Brooke: I told her everything is fine.

Taylor: Yeah. Yes, she did. I hope that’s true. If you ever feel like you want additional support, I’m here.

Ridge: That’s very kind. I think brooke knows what she needs.

Taylor: My door is open.

Brooke: Thank you.

Ridge: I’ll walk you out.

Taylor: No need. I’ll see you soon.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Ridge: You okay? Take a breath. I think taylor offered to help because she felt you could benefit from it. And I know, you got your meetings and your sobriety but– and I know you don’t want to share this with anyone. It’s obvious to me you’re still struggling with what happened on new year’S.

Why burn a candle

when you can switch

Carter: Paris?

Paris: Oh, carter. You snuck up on me.

Carter: I could have come in here blowing a trumpet and I don’t think you would have noticed. Is everything okay?

Paris: Yeah.

Carter: Remember what I said, you can… talk to me.

[ Paris sighing ]

Paris: It’s not a big deal. Or, at least it shouldn’t be. Zende and sequoyah were working in here earlier.

Carter: The model?

Paris: Yeah. She’s beautiful. They were making plans. They’re going to go get drinks later.

Carter: Like a date?

Paris: Yeah. She asked him out and zande said yes.

Carter: And you didn’t expect that?

Paris: I should have. Zende’s a catch. Of course, he’s going to have women asking him out.

Carter: Well, yeah. If you guys aren’t exclusive, he probably will.

Paris: And that’s what I wanted, to loosen things up. To give each other room to enjoy our freedom.

Carter: Did you guys discuss it?

Paris: We did. It was a good conversation.

Carter: But?

[ Paris sighing ]

Paris: I don’t know. I just needed some time to process it. But now that I’m seeing you, I feel a lot better.

Carter: Paris–

Paris: I’m–I’m just being honest. You’ve been a really good friend. But ever since new year’s, things have been feeling different.

[ Paris sighing ] I just can’t stop thinking about it, carter. What happened between us, our kiss.

[ Knocking on door ]

Taylor: Oh, come on in. Hey, audrey, I’m glad you’re back. I need you to run this–

Sheila: Actually… she wasn’t sitting at her desk.

Taylor: Sheila. We talked about this.

Sheila: I know. I know. Don’t show up unannounced. But I did knock at this time.

Taylor: What brings you by?

Sheila: Well… I just can’t stop thinking about you, taylor and christmas eve. Seeing you with the kids and the grandkids. It is so obvious how loved you are. And that struck me as a shame that you’d been separated for so long. That kind of thing affects me.

Taylor: I can imagine it would.

Sheila: So, I was just wondering how you are, at being back?

Taylor: I’m settling in.

Sheila: With finn and steffy? How wonderful is that. Boy, I hope you’re enjoying your time with the two of them.

Taylor: Yes, sheila, if you’re about to ask me to help you make an in-roads with them–

Sheila: No, no, no, no, no, no. Now I just– I overheard you and steffy christmas eve. When she told you how she really missed you and ridge being together.

Taylor: It is true, she does.

Sheila: Must be difficult to hear, especially now. When you’re finally home. Have the opportunity to reunite your family and… I can only assume that brooke isn’t letting ridge see too much of you.

Taylor: Sheila, where are you going with this?

Sheila: It just doesn’t seem fair. That’s all. And you being gone all these years and, and doing amazing work all over the world. And coming back to los angeles and running up against the same brick wall, brooke. I don’t know what’s going on with her. I don’t know what her relationship is like with ridge right now, especially with deacon back in the picture. And then here you are, home. And it’s got to be causing brooke some stress. Lord knows she doesn’t deal well with stress. How does she seem to you?

Ridge: Taylor really rattled you, huh?

Brooke: Oh, I just hate keeping secrets.

Ridge: Well, she’s a professional. I think she’d understand.

Brooke: No. No.

Ridge: Okay. You don’t want anyone else to know about your drinking. I get it. But you don’t need to be ashamed.

Brooke: But I am ridge. I am ashamed and I’m embarrassed. I’m disappointed in myself. And I’m really confused.

Ridge: Well, then maybe we’ll make sense to talk to somebody.

Brooke: No. No. It wouldn’t make sense because I can’t even explain it. I was sober for so many years and I was happy. I didn’t even think about drinking. And then– my behavior didn’t make sense that night.

Ridge: So, maybe what we should do is focus on what does make sense. Your commitment to yourself, sobriety, your commitment to me, the love we have. It’s pretty cool. Whatever happened, I’ve already… moved past it. I’m already in the future, with you. And I get that you don’t want her to know what happened on new year’s eve. All right. It’ll be our little secret.

Brooke: Okay.

Ridge: What do you think of that?

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: Yeah?

Brooke: Yeah.

[ Brooke giggling ]

Ridge: I love you.

Brooke: I love you.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Deacon: I love you, brooke. I know it makes you uncomfortable–

Brooke: What makes me uncomfortable is you showing up here after I told you never to come here again.

Deacon: I couldn’t stay away. I had to tell you how I felt.

Brooke: I don’t want to know how you feel, deacon. I just want you to leave.

Deacon: I don’t think you do.

Brooke: What?

Deacon: I don’t think you really want me to leave. I just think that you’re afraid of what might happen if I stay.

Thomas: Look, we’re not trying to guilt trip you, dad. We have just seen you through enough of brooke’s scandals throughout the years.

Steffy: Yeah, we don’t want history to repeat itself. To have you get caught up in the fallout. Deacon has slithered his way back into hope’s life. And that should have sent up a bunch of red flags to brooke.

Ridge: It did.

Thomas: Yeah, right, for like a nanosecond. But now brooke’s back to thinking deacon’s not a bad guy anymore? I don’t get it. Like, does he still have some kind of hold on her?

Steffy: Hope we get. Deacon’s her father. But deacon has nothing to do with brooke, or he shouldn’T.

Thomas: Yeah. So why is brooke treating deacon like he still is something to her?

Hope: You know, I love our little family but sometimes it is nice to get work done without all the extra noise.

[Liam chuckles] Yeah, it is.

Hope: But maybe we could take a break with a little foot rub.

Liam: Ahh…

[Chuckling] Yeah, I suppose we can. Well, this is kind of nice, right? No kids, no ridge. No, brooke. Even deacon hasn’t been around that much lately, which actually– that is kind of odd, right? I’m not– I’m not complaining but I’m pretty sure deacon’s been mia since… since he came to talk to me on new year’S.

Liam: So any idea why deacon might be keeping his distance?

Hope: I might, but hopefully it’s just because he’s busy with his new job.

Liam: So busy he can’t just like text you or make a quick phone call to check in?

Hope: You think something’s happened to him?

Liam: No, no, because it’s deacon. I mean, he’s more than capable of taking care of himself. It’s just…

Hope: It’s just that you miss having him around.

Liam: Oka–alright. Relax. Let’s not go that far.

Hope: No, I– I do appreciate how supportive you’ve– you’re trying to be supportive of me wanting a relationship with my father.

Liam: Yeah. Well, the truth is, he’s made it pretty easy. I mean, if– if deacon is still the same old guy at least he’s been on his best behavior since he came to town. And really, you know, let’s be honest, my concern is always just for you. I don’t want him to hurt you and then you get disappointed again.

Hope: Hopefully he won’T. But if anything, he’s proven how caring and protective he can be.

Liam: Yeah, but the last time you saw him was new year’s and you haven’t heard a peep since then. Right? I just– I don’t know. I hope that doesn’t mean deacon’s back to his old ways.

Thomas: Look, dad, we’re not trying to undermine things between you and brooke.

Steffy: But clearly something’s going on between you and your wife. And it’s affecting you and it makes us worry,.

Ridge: Okay. I’m grateful you’re concerned, I really am. But brooke and I, our relationship is great, just like our relationship is great. We love each other, right? Doesn’t matter who I’m married to. And maybe your mother showing up is the reason for all of this. I’m not sure. But brooke is my wife and there’s nothing that’s going to change that.

Brooke: Oh, my god, you just won’t quit.

Deacon: Can you deny that I’m wrong? That there isn’t something still between us? Brooke, that that kiss new year’s eve–

Brooke: It’s not like you’re making it out to be. If I was sober, if I was in my right mind–

Deacon: What? What? You– you wouldn’t have given in? You would’ve– you would’ve fought harder to stop what was happening?

Brooke: Nothing was happening. That’s what I’m trying to get through your thick skull! It was the alcohol, deacon.

Deacon: Okay, fine. Fine. The booze was definitely part of it. But brooke, there was more to it than that–

Brooke: No.

Deacon: Can you just admit to yourself that–

Brooke: There is nothing to admit.

Deacon: It’s like you need to convince yourself so hard. I don’t understand it. When our lips met, I felt it. Something chemical, something magical like it was all those years ago. It’s like, there’s this force. It’s– it’s pushing us together. I can’t explain it but that’s how it feels. Like neither one of us are in control. And that we may never be in control again.

Liam: I’m still kind of curious about what’s keeping deacon away.

Hope: Actually, I might know why or at least a part of it.

[Sighs] My mom told my dad that she doesn’t want him around anymore.

Liam: Uh…& wha– way to bury the lead. What– why? Why would brooke do that?

> Hope: I don’t know. I don’t know. I’m– I’m trying to figure that out for myself. But she just keeps saying that it’s okay for him to be in my life. She just doesn’t want him in hers.

Liam: Jeez. I mean, talk about an about face. Do you think ridge finally got through to brooke and that’s why deacon’s on the outs?

Hope: I– I can’t say. I just– I’m sure we’ll find out what’s really going on at some point but in the meantime I’m just trying to be supportive of my mom. You know, she’s working really hard on her sobriety and I don’t want anyone or anything derailing that.

Liam: Do you think deacon knows about your mom’s relapse?

Hope: No.

Liam: No? I doubt that. I think it’s just you, ridge and me. And mom wants it to stay that way.

Liam: Yeah, no. Of course.

Hope: I especially don’t want taylor or steffy finding out, knowing how they feel about my mother.

Ridge: I appreciate your concern, I really do but you don’t have to worry about me or my marriage.

Steffy: Well, hope obviously is. Brought her to my house. She clearly felt the need to draw a hard line. But why is she being so territorial?

Thomas: That’s true. If things are so great between you and brooke, then why does her daughter think that she has to defend your relationship?

Steffy: Something is going on. There’s no doubt in my mind.

Thomas: Or mine.

Steffy: What we don’t get, though, if you know what that something is, why aren’t you telling us?

Thomas: Alright, look. Uh, yeah, we historically haven’t had the greatest track record with brooke. Alright? But we’re not going to attack her. We just want what’s best for you.

Ridge: It seems like you are attacking her. Brooke is fine. There’s nothing we can’t handle in our relationship. Thank you.

Thomas: But are you listening to yourself? Like in one breath, you say, “there’s nothing that you can’t handle in your relationship” but in the next you say that–

Ridge: I’m sorry. Excuse me. Are you listening to me? I said, “there’s nothing we can’t handle in our relationship.” Everything is fine. We’re not disagreeing on anything. If anything, I have more respect for her now than I ever had. Her and her strength and her honesty.

Brooke: You really gotta stop saying these things, deacon.

Deacon: I’m just trying to figure out what happened.

Brooke: There’s really nothing to figure out. None of this should have happened. The drinking, the kiss–

Deacon: Me in your bed. Albeit, on top of the sheets. But hey, there we were, right? I mean, how the hell does this stuff keep happening to us?

Brooke: I don’t know. I’d really like to find out so it doesn’t ever happen again.

Deacon: Ouch.

Brooke: Okay, come on. It’s not like this is some amazing fairy tale or something.

Deacon: I mean, we did have one happy ending, right? I mean, our beautiful daughter was a product of our romance or whatever you want to call it. Brooke, you can’t deny that we had a connection. Look, I get it. I– I haven’t exactly been the poster boy for stability these past years. I did love you enough to respect when you asked me to stay away from you and to stay away from hope– I did the best that I could. You gotta give me that. And then there you were. Enduring ridges split feelings between you and taylor, yet again. I mean, how many times can you ride that emotional merry go round? And now you got taylor back in town?

[Sighing] Look. I’m not saying this stuff to try and upset you. All I’m saying is maybe, maybe there was a reason for that kiss. More than just the alcohol. Wouldn’t it be amazing for our daughter if we were together?

Brooke: Stop it. Just stop. I can’t listen to this. I love ridge. I want a life with ridge. And if he finds out what we did, deacon. He will leave me. And i will not allow that to happen. Do you hear me? I won’T. If you have advanced non-small cell lung cancer,

Ridge: This is inspired, son.

Thomas: Thank you. And I think brooke would have thought so as well if you know, she showed up for the meeting that she set. But I am very happy with it.

Ridge: And you should be. Like I said before, you should always–

Thomas: Go with your gut? I feel like I’ve heard that before.

Steffy: Yeah, me too.

Ridge: See, that’s what I mean. We spend so much time together, you finish my–

Thomas: Sentences.

Ridge: Mm.

Thomas: Hm.

Steffy: But you know what we’re talking about. Being able to, like, have holidays together and celebrate with one another. We have wonderful memories as a family… when we get to share it with you.

Ridge: Well, it seems that everything’s under control, so I’m going to go home and check on brooke.

Brooke: I mean it, deacon. I can’t lose ridge. We love each other! We have too much history.

Deacon: So do we.

Brooke: Ridge and I share a child.

Deacon: So do we.

[Notification sounds]

Brooke: Oh, my god, that’s ridge. He’s on his way home. Go. Go now!

Deacon: Okay. I’ll go. I’m going to let you process this. But I’m done denying my feelings, alright? I love you and nothing is going to change that. Okay? Bye.

[Panting]

Brooke: God.

Steffy: Have you come to put me on notice? Or would you rather wait ’til my mom gets here instead?

Hope: Actually, I came by to drop these off but that depends.

Steffy: On what?

Hope: On if you both are going to respect what I said and respect my mom and your dad’s marriage.

Steffy: We respect their marriage. But we can’t help worrying about my father.

Hope: About ridge and if my mom is making his life miserable?

Steffy: The question is how would brooke be doing that? Because if this isn’t about deacon or my mom coming back in town, then…

Hope: My mom does not have a problem with taylor returning. I don’t know what– what more I can say to convince you of that.

Steffy: I just wish you’d be more open. Stop protecting, brooke. Like I sense you are.

[Sighing]

Brooke: You’re back from the office already?

Ridge: There are more important things than work.

[Brooke sighs]

Ridge: You okay? What’s going on?

[Brooke sighing] Something happen? Talk to me.

Why hide your skin if dupixent

Hope: My mother doesn’t need protecting. She can take care of herself.

Steffy: But she does need her husband. You said that more than once.

Hope: Well yes, mom and ridge are married. Married couples need each other.-

Steffy: That’s not what I meant. Look, if you’re determined to keep whatever’s going on with brooke on the down low, I’m– I totally get it. That’s up to you. But you should know people are starting to talk around here, wondering why brooke’s not showing up at work. I mean, even my brother wanted her input on his latest design. If your mom is a constant no-show and– and the way you showed up at my house, you tried to put my mom and me on notice. And said that we can’t get involved in her marriage– like something’s going on.

Hope: Yeah, I didn’t mean to come on so strong. And, you know, I just think as one big family that we should respect each other accordingly.

Steffy: Well, hope, whatever your mom is dealing with, I hope it doesn’t consume her life or her marriage more than it already has.

Ridge: Come here. You know, you can talk to me about anything. Not gonna change the way I love you.

Brooke: I bet people at forrester are wondering where I’ve been.

Ridge: Well, that’s one of the cool things about being brooke logan. You’ve done so much for this company, you don’t have to answer anybody. Not even me. But I can see what’s going on in that head of yours. You’re still thinking about what happened on new year’S.

[Brooke sighs] I don’t want to go there. I just want to focus on you and what you are to my life. How much you mean to me. All your love and support. And though I still don’t understand what drove me to drink that night. Just that urge came out of nowhere and I let myself down. And I let you down. And I don’t ever want to let you down again.

Ridge: Come here.

Deacon: Morning, sunshine. You were too tired, too tired to walk. So I put you to bed. You fell right asleep. Listen to me. Nothing happened. Nothing.

Update written by Joseph

Gwen and Xander lay in bed after having sex. Xander asks if now she’s finally convinced that he’s over Sarah and totally committed to her. Gwen responds that she might need more convincing. Xander says he’ll do whatever it takes but suggests they shower first. Gwen tells him to go start it so he heads to the bathroom. While Xander turns the shower on, Gwen falls asleep. Gwen has a nightmare about Sarah Horton showing up at her and Xander’s hotel room.

Brady has a nightmare about Kristen showing up at his door.

Kayla dreams of her and Steve kissing in the convent, dressed as nun and priest.

Nicole has a dream about having sex with Rafe on the Basic Black conference table again.

Ava has a nightmare about a life-sized version of Duke the teddy bear confronting her and threatening to kill her with scissors like she did to him.

Kayla wakes up from her nap and calls out to Steve, who assures he’s right there and asks about her nap. Kayla responds that she just had an intense dream.

Nicole wakes up from her dream on the couch at home.

Ava wakes from her nightmare in a panic, only to see Rafe standing in the doorway. Rafe asks if she’s okay.

Brady wakes up from his nightmare in a panic just as Kristen was going to stab him with a knife.

Gwen wakes up from her nightmare about Sarah reuniting with Xander and she’s in a panic. Xander comes out from the shower and asks her what’s wrong. Xander asks what in the world is going on as Gwen tells him that she had another nasty nightmare. Xander points out that she called out his name. Gwen says that’s because he’s the only person in the world who knows how to make her feel better. Gwen calls him her hero. Xander says it must have been a really scary dream. Gwen confirms that it was. Xander can’t imagine what would scare her and asks what the dream was about. Gwen claims not to remember the details and doesn’t feel like revisiting it. Xander asks what he can do to help make the dream go away. Gwen suggests he make love to her so they kiss until there’s a knock at the door. Gwen tells Xander not to answer it because they have everything they need. Xander doesn’t think they will go away. Gwen decides she will answer it then. Gwen gets up to answer the door as she did in her nightmare, but is surprised to see Abigail.

Nicole goes to work at Basic Black. Brady arrives behind her and calls out to her three times until she turns around. Nicole guesses she didn’t hear him. Brady asks if she was focused on the marketing reports. Nicole admits she was thinking about something else. Brady guesses it was important but Nicole says not really and that it doesn’t matter. Brady notes she seems flushed and asks if she was thinking about the time that she and Rafe had sex on the conference table.

Ava tells Rafe that she’s sorry as she just had a bad dream. Rafe notes that it must have been a rough one and says she was growling like a lion when he came in and now she’s still clutching a nail file. Ava mentions not hearing him leave this morning. Rafe says she was sound asleep so he decided to go to the bakery and bring her a coffee. Ava asks why he was up so early this morning. Rafe says he couldn’t sleep. Ava jokingly asks if he had a guilty conscience, then asks what he could possibly have to feel guilty about.

Kayla asks Steve if there’s anything to report about Kristen. Steve informs her that Mother Superior called and it turns out there is room for her at the convent. Steve suggests she get dressed in her nun’s habit. Kayla hesitates with that, so Steve asks if something is wrong. Kayla says she just needs a minute.

Kristen goes to see Mother Superior, who informs her that they have decided to take in “Sister Mary Elizabeth”. Kristen acts thrilled about that and calls it blessed news. Mother Superior asks Kristen to help her prepare for her arrival which Kristen claims would be her pleasure.

Nicole claims not to know what Brady is talking about. Brady says he’s not being judgmental and is just asking as a friend. Nicole remarks that it seems her other friend has loose lips. Brady tells her not to be mad at Chloe as she didn’t mean to let it slip out. Nicole complains that she swore her to secrecy. Brady says he pryed it out of her and apologizes. Nicole says it’s fine as it’s really Marlena’s fault anyways from when the Devil was in her, since she brought Deimos back from the dead to terrorize her. Brady says that’s not where he thought the story was going. Nicole asks if he thinks she’s crazy. Brady says no and that after Marlena was possessed by the Devil twice, there’s pretty much nothing he won’t believe. Brady is sure that she must have been terrified. Nicole thought she was losing her mind, so she called Rafe and he came over to make her feel safe. Brady understands that Rafe comforted her. Nicole says it started out that way, but the next thing she knew, they were on the conference table and tearing off each others’ clothes and he knows the rest.

Rafe informs Ava that she’s not the only one who has accused him of having something weighing on his conscience since Melinda and internal affairs have launched an investigation in to his policing practicies. Ava calls that crazy and asks what they could possibly suspect him of. Rafe reveals that one perp has accused him of planting evidence. Ava says they are obviously lying. Rafe says of course, but there’s a second accusation claiming that he framed him. Ava asks why this would all be coming up now at the same time and if he thinks it’s a coincidence. Rafe calls that unlikely so either these guys got together to make him look like a bad cop or someone put them up to it. Ava wonders who would hate him so much to go through all the trouble to ruin his life.

Gwen asks Abigail what she wants. Abigail says it’s nice to see her too. Gwen asks her again so Abigail says she’s there to speak with Xander. Gwen tells her that Xander is busy so she can come back tomorrow. Xander asks Abigail if she found something. Abigail confirms that she did and declares that she has tracked down their missing person. Gwen questions if she found Sarah. Abigail comes in and says not yet, but she did find Ned Granger, the pilot who flew a private jet the day that Sarah disappeared. Gwen tells Xander that Sarah didn’t disappear, she left, so she sees no crime. Abigail says they will see what Ned says as she is meeting him at the Pub in 30 minutes so she can show him Sarah’s picture. Gwen thinks it’s a waste of time but Xander decides he’s going with her. Xander declares that he wants to speak to the pilot himself to make sure that he’s telling the truth. Xander goes to get dressed. Gwen accuses Abigail of really enjoying this as she knows exactly what she’s doing. Gwen thinks Abigail wants Xander to find Sarah so that he will leave her.

Rafe tells Ava that he has some ideas about who might be setting him up. Ava questions if he thinks she did this to him. Rafe asks why she would say that. Ava brings up how he accused her of mutilating the teddy bear. Rafe apologizes for that and says he believes she didn’t do that. Ava doesn’t know why she would have any reason to be upset with him or Nicole when they are the ones she trusts most in the world…

Nicole tells Brady that Rafe and Ava are together and she accepts that, so what happened with her and Rafe was a one time thing. Brady tells her that she doesn’t have to explain it to him. Nicole just wants him to understand that she never meant for it to happen and it won’t ever happen again as they agreed to keep their distance. Brady asks if that’s what she wants or if she wants to be with Rafe. Nicole says no and then yes but admits she doesn’t know. Nicole feels like she’s going crazy. Brady apologizes as he can see she’s struggling with this. Nicole asks what is wrong with her as she can’t stop thinking about it. Nicole tells him that she had a dream this morning about Rafe. Brady understands that it’s hard to let go sometimes. Brady then reveals that this morning, he had a dream about Kristen.

Kayla gets dressed in her nun’s habit and tells herself no more impure thoughts as she has a job to do. Steve comes out of the bathroom with his priest collar on, startling Kayla. Steve apologizes and asks if she’s okay. Kayla claims she’s fine. Steve asks if she’s having doubts about doing this. Kayla says she’s not. Steve then reveals that he is, because Kristen may be hiding in the convent but some habits are hard to break. Steve worries that Kristen could still be dangerous. Steve tells Kayla that this is what he does as he’s trained for this kind of thing while she is not. Steve doesn’t doubt her bravery or her talents as he knows what she’s capable of, but he also knows what Kristen is capable of. Kayla reminds him that she locked horns with the Devil himself. Kayla says after being that close to evil, she’s not afraid of anybody on the planet, even Kristen DiMera. Steve decides if they are going to do this, she has to promise to look for evidence that Kristen is there but she won’t look for her. Kayla asks what if she runs across Kristen. Steve orders her not to approach or confront her and get out of there as fast as she can, preferably without Kristen seeing her. Kayla gives him her word.

Kristen tells Mother Superior that everything is prepared for the arrival of their guest. Kristen promises to move mountains to accomodate their new sister. After Mother Superior leaves the room, Kristen opens her bible, revealing that she has a gun hidden inside.

Ava can’t imagine how upsetting this must be for Rafe since his reputation is at stake. Rafe assures that he will clear his name. Ava tells him that no matter what happens, she will always believe in him. Rafe thanks her. Ava points out that he believed in her, when everyone else questioned her character and saw her as a criminal. Ava says that Rafe moved her in to his house and made her feel loved. Ava adds that nothing is more important to her than loyalty. Rafe feels the same as they kiss onto the bed.

Nicole questions Brady having a dream about Kristen. Brady assures that it was not a sex dream and calls it a nightmare. Nicole calls Kristen a nightmare in real life. Brady responds that she’s always been his nightmare. Nicole questions if Brady is thinking about her again after everything she has done. Brady points out that Kristen is Rachel’s mother so he’s always going to love her, but assures that he’s never going back to her as those days are over. Brady believes Kristen had him framed for Philip’s murder so that’s a dealbreaker. Brady adds that he has Steve looking for Kristen in hopes that they can get the truth about what happened to Philip. Nicole wishes Kristen would be gone forever but she would like to see her brought to justice for what she’s done to everyone in town. Nicole asks if Steve has had any luck tracking her down. Brady informs her that Steve is in Italy with a lead but so far, he has not found Kristen.

Kayla and Steve go to thank Mother Superior to thank her for letting Kayla as “Sister Mary Elizabeth” stay at the convent.

Abigail tells Gwen to take it easy as her helping Xander find Sarah has nothing to do with her. Gwen doesn’t believe her. Abigail tells her to believe what she wants as she’s doing it for Maggie, who asked her to help. Abigail believes there is a story here. Gwen mocks her journalistic integrity and calls it a conspiracy theory. Gwen asks if Abigail thinks Sarah was just taken from Salem. Abigail asks what if she was. Gwen insists that she wasn’t as Sarah walked out on Rex and Xander while now Xander has moved on, but Abigail is dragging him back in and getting him all worked up. Abigail is sorry if it’s upsetting for her but it happens that the circumstances of Sarah’s disappearance have left people with a lot of questions. Abigail says if Gwen is so sure that Sarah left on her own, then it shouldn’t matter if she finds her. Abigail asks if Gwen has a reason to doubt that. Gwen assures that Xander loves her and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop that. Abigail says she has no interest in changing that. Gwen tells her to be honest. Gwen doesn’t believe Abigail is over her sleeping with Chad. Abigail says her and Chad are fine. Gwen says they are not and argues that Abigail never really accepted her apology and now just wants to get back at her. Abigail calls her paranoid. Gwen remarks that unlike Abigail, she wasn’t handed everything in life and had to work for everything she had. Abigail assures her that no one is trying to take anything from her. Abigail says they are just trying to find Sarah. Gwen thinks if Sarah wanted to be found, she would’ve just turned up by now. Abigail notes that’s assuming she’s able to. Gwen says now she sounds paranoid. Gwen asks why she can’t let Sarah be and let her have a tiny bit of happiness for the first time in her life. Xander comes back from the bathroom and asks if everything is okay. Gwen claims they are and tells Xander that after he’s done, they can continue what they started before being rudely interrupted by her sister. Xander agrees and kisses her. Gwen tells Abigail it was nice to see her. Abigail and Xander then exit.

Mother Superior tells Steve that it’s time for him to leave since “Sister Mary Elizabeth” will be staying at the convent. Steve thanks her for all of her help. Kayla promises to be safe. Mother Superior then walks Steve out.

Brady tells Nicole that he’s accepted that he’s going to keep having nightmares about Kristen until Steve finds her. Nicole hopes he finds Philip too. Brady doesn’t see Nicole not having dreams about Rafe anytime soon. Nicole says she’s having trouble falling asleep anyways so there’s no escaping. Brady advises her to come to terms with how she’s feeling about Rafe. Nicole brings up that she tried to move on with EJ but acknowledges that was a big mistake that she won’t make again. Brady asks if she’s sure she can’t just be with Rafe. Nicole says she cares about Rafe and Ava, so she’s not going to come between what they have and she’ll just have to find a way to get him out of her head.

Rafe gets dressed after having sex with Ava and jokes that she’s making it really hard to have to go to work. Rafe mentions a package came for her and it’s on the kitchen table. Ava kisses Rafe more and jokes that she doesn’t want him to go but Rafe says he really has to. Ava says she understands. Ava adds that she knows Rafe will find out who is trying to hurt him because the truth always has a way of coming out. Rafe agrees as he exits the room.

After Brady leaves, Nicole tries to go back to work but thinks about having sex with Rafe again. Nicole decides to try getting rid of the conference table but she can’t move it. Rafe then appears and asks if she needs a hand.

Kayla looks through Mother Superior’s desk to try and find a list of names staying there. Mother Superior then returns to the room.

Steve goes back to his hotel and calls Brady to inform him that Kayla is on the inside and he will keep him posted. Kristen then arrives and tells Steve that Kayla will be just fine. Kristen then pulls a gun on Steve and declares it’s time for his last rites.

Abigail and Xander sit together at the Brady Pub. Abigail asks if he’s sorry he couldn’t hire Steve to find Sarah. Xander admits Steve was his first choice, but so far he’s very impressed with Abigail and jokes that it hasn’t cost him anything. Ned Granger then arrives and meets them. Ned asks what this is all about. Abigail says they have a few questions about a flight he took last March. Abigail shows him Sarah’s photo and asks if he remembers flying her out of Salem.

Gwen calls Ava and leaves a message, asking where she is because she needs her help since Abigail is not going to rest until she finds Sarah. Gwen worries that it’s only a matter of time before she loses Xander. Gwen tells Ava to call her back as there’s a knock at the door. Gwen then answers the door to see Sarah.

Rey: What’s a nice lady like you doing in a place like this?

Sharon: What makes you think I’m nice?

Rey: Well, I just assumed you were. Are you saying you aren’t?

Sharon: I have my moments.

Rey: Really? Well, I’m interested in hearing all about them. In fact, I’m interested in all of you.

Sharon: Well, thank you. I’m really flattered, but, sorry, I’m off the market. I’m happily married.

Rey: Is that right?

Sharon: 100%. But I will give you this to remember me by.

Rey: Saint Rey. Yeah, that’s — that’s got a ring to it.

Rey: [ Chuckles ] Thank you. That’s — that’s kind of what i wanted to talk to you about.

Sharon: What do you mean?

Rey: I would like to spend some quality time alone with my wife. I want to take you out. I want to wine and dine you. I want to stare into those beautiful eyes and tell you how wonderful you are.

Sharon: Well, that sounds really nice. What did you have in mind?

Rey: Well, I was thinking we could go to that French bistro you’ve been talking about.

Sharon: Trs magnifique!

Rey: [ Chuckles ] Then we could check out the new exhibit at the museum.

Sharon: I have wanted to do that.

Rey: I know. I listen.

Rey: I want to go right now. Let’s go.

Rey: Perfect.

Sharon: …Special quality time alone together.

Rey: And I will be right here waiting with great anticipation.

Sharon: You’re the best. You know that
