Judith Light as Joan in "Shining Vale" on Starz

Interview with Judith Light of “shining Vale” on Starz by Suzanne 2/7/22

It was lovely to speak to such an amazing actress. I first saw her on “Who’s the Boss?” back in the 80’s. I’ve seen her in so many other great shows, such as “Transparent,” “Law and Order,” “Ugly Betty,” “Dietland,” “Dallas” and so much more. She’s great in this, like usual You may not even recognize her.  The first few questions are from me, and the others were from other journalists in this roundtable press junket we did.

Suzanne: Hi. When you’re playing your character, is there anyone in particular that you modeled her after?

Judith: No, no. What an interesting question. No, I think that what happened was that they created her as they saw her. Now, maybe the writers had somebody in mind. Maybe they knew somebody that had had some of these issues, but no. It was just like, there it was, right on the page.

Suzanne: Thank you.

Judith: Yeah, you bet.

Suzanne: I know you got your TV start on One Life to Live. If one of the four remaining daytime soaps were to offer you a really good role, around your schedule, whether it was recurring, or guest starring or long term, would you consider it?

Judith: You know, years ago I used to say I wouldn’t do this, and I’m never going to do that. I’m not going to be in a soap opera, and I’m not going to be in a sitcom, and I’m never going to marry an actor, and I’m never going to move to California. You know, I’m not terribly trustworthy. So, I would only answer that to say to you, I will allow myself to stay open to everything and to see how things evolve and what comes to me. I don’t look at something and say, “I’ll never do that.” It’s just it’s not a way to be as a human being, and it’s not a way to live. Who knows what could happen? I have no idea. So, good questions.

Question: …Tell us a little bit about her. She’s kind of a character, but has a part of her life that we won’t get into, but kind of had a dark period in her life, I guess the best way to put it?

Judith: Yeah, yeah. I love that you’re being deferential to not giving away a lot of the information, which I know they appreciate, and so do I. We’re talking about mental illness. I mean, you’re talking about a woman who, as an adult, a lot of her adult life is she’s dealing with mental illness, and the fact that this show is able to talk about that in such a way within the body and the context of comedy and horror and drama and paranormal is just quite incredible, I think. I just think it’s extraordinary. So, that’s one of the things that we’re dealing with is women and mental illness.

Question: Congratulations on being a part of such an interesting show. How long did you have to keep the secret that you were cast in this series?

Judith: Not for very long. I mean, it really happened quite, quite quickly. I mean, I read the script, and then they sent me the pilot to look at, and I was like, “Oh, I’m in.” So, it wasn’t really a very long time. They send it to me, and then we talked about it, and we shot it.

Question: And to follow up on that, was there a personal highlight for you? Because often things that are funny are not always off camera hilarious, the most fun thing ever, and then, vice versa. You’ll find that in dramas, the second they say cut, everyone is laughing their heads off and having a blast. So, is there a highlight?

Judith: The highlight was really getting to work with Courtney and with Greg and with Gus Birney. And to be in a show, like you say, I mean, that’s written and conceived by Jeff Astrof and Sharon Horgan and such a team of women writers, I mean, literally, this is a question for you and everybody who’s watching the show. “How do you write a show that’s a comedy and a drama and a horror show and paranormal?” I don’t even know how you can think about that. You said congratulations on being a part of this show. I am beside myself. I think people are just – I can’t even say think. I know people are going to be absolutely enchanted by this.

Question: You’ve done a lot of darker roles lately. Is there something about these characters that really makes you want to embody them? Or is it just things that come across your desk, and you’re like, “Okay, that’s an interesting role. I’d love to pursue that.”

Judith: I go for the role. I go for what it says about women and their stories. We’re storytellers, you know, just like you all. You’re the storytellers. You tell our stories, and that’s why talking to you is so interesting; it’s so vital. I look at a character. I look at the story. I look at what it’s saying. I see that women are writing for women about women’s issues, women and their artistry, women and their menopause, women and aging, women and their sexuality, women and their mental illness. So, that’s compelling to me. And to do it within, like I just said before, within the context of a show that’s funny and dramatic and tender and fragile and poignant and scary is just – You’re smiling. It’s true. It’s like it’s it’s a joy. It’s a real joy.

Question: As far as dialogue, do you get a chance to play with the words a little bit? Or do you have to stay verbatim to the script?

Judith: No, there’s no law. I mean, if there’s something that I want to talk to the producers about, they’re incredibly open, but when you see a show like this, and the way this is written, I wouldn’t touch this with a ten-foot pole. I mean, I wouldn’t even think to be able to do that. If I have questions, I’ll ask them, but not with something like this. They’re open and flexible, which is also a dream. It’s really great.

Question: Just a quick follow up, there is a scene where you have a moment with one of your grandchildren, and that was a really serious scene, and I really appreciated that scene. You both brought it, and it was so great to see you flexing those muscles.

Judith: Oh, thank you, thank you so much. That was all as all on the page. That’s all on the page. And you know, you can try something as as an actor, and you can throw it out. They might have said to me, “Don’t go there. Go to the funny, or go to the scary. Don’t do that. Don’t make it that deep or that real,” but they didn’t say that. So, that’s what I was saying. And in responding to your other question, which is, I wouldn’t ask them to change anything or rewrite anything. But if you work the way that I do is you just throw out a lot of stuff, and I say to somebody, “Look, this is the smorgasbord; you choose what you want.” And if they want something else, then they tell you. But thank you for noticing. That is a very powerful scene.

Question: So, when somebody looks at your IMDB or your credits, in general, you’ve been working nonstop, and it’s a variety of genres and projects. There’re not a lot of people who do dramatic stuff like you, yet we’re also on Family Guy. So, you’ve also been prolific as a humanitarian, and charitable work as well and standing up for women’s causes, in a wonderful way. Are there a lot of hobbies for you, or does it really all your free time goes back into the craft?

Judith: I wouldn’t say hobbies, but there are things in life that I do that I spend time on that feed my work, a lot of reading, a lot of investigation of psychology. Also, now, I’m starting to produce, and I have a bunch of projects in development. So, those are the things that I’m drawn to doing. I am curious about a lot of different things, and curiosity is the link to me to creativity. If you’re curious about something, you move into a direction of being creative in relation to it. Also, I love working in teams. So, I love being able to be around other people who are also curious and creative, and that’s where a lot of the energy goes. My husband and I are creating a lot of work together. So, that’s also exciting for me.

Question: So, it sounds like stay tuned to keep checking the IMDB to see how much you’re working.

Judith: There you go. There you go. That’s right.

Question: It’s such an honor, I must say to speak with you, and I’ve been a longtime fan of yours. Do you have any favorite projects of yours that truly hold a dear place in your heart? I mean, we recently saw you on American Crime Story. That was a beautiful arc, and there’re so many roles that stand out, of course, over the years, but are there certain roles that still hold a special place for you?

Judith: Oh, you’re so sweet. Thank you. Thank you for saying that. Well, I love American Crime. I love working with Ryan. I mean, talk about a visionary. He’s an incredible person. I would have to say, I did a play years ago, where I took over – I hadn’t been on stage for twenty-two years, and then I took over for a brilliant actor named Kathleen Chalfant in a play called Wit. It was about a woman who was dying of fourth stage ovarian cancer, and that one I hold very close still. I was terrified to do it. I had to shave my head. I had to be naked on stage. There were a lot of things that I had to confront, personally, that were very transformational for me as far as my life was concerned. It wasn’t about my career anymore. It was really about my life and the things that I needed to not be afraid of and to take a chance to take a risk. I did it for almost a year. I did it in New York for about six months. Then, I did it on tour in Boston and San Francisco and Washington, DC, and Florida. Every one of the experiences around that was life changing and affirming for me, and that one I hold I hold very close, very dear. Also, the other things that I’ve done on stage, like Other Desert Cities, just that brilliant, brilliant play by Jon Robin Baitz. I just walked into that family, and that was very, very special to me, getting to work with Joe Mantello and Robbie and then Richard Greenberg, on The Assembled Parties. Those are two other plays that I did. Most of the work that I’ve done stays with me. Not the character; I let go of the character, but the holiness, I guess, is what I would say. And I mean that in a holistic way, that those characters have meant a great deal to me, particularly when you do a long run, like we did with Lombardi. Those things, they stay. They’re embedded, and I really treasure them greatly. I really do.

Question: So, it just seems like the producing side is kind of tapping into a new area for you. How has that been to kind of take a project from an idea and put it together?

Judith: It’s been interesting. It’s more I’m learning from several different producers that I’m working with in the development of these projects. I’m at a place called Brillstein Creative Partners, and I’m working with some really brilliant, extraordinary women producers that I’m learning a lot from, like Amy Powell and Dakota DeBellis. There are people that are on these projects that I’m working on that I’m watching and learning from and seeing how to put something together. Right now we’re in the stages of looking at reading material, finding the writers. Who’s going to be the best team for this? And it takes a long time, and it takes a lot of discipline and diligence and a lot of hard work to put it together. I’m learning, and I’m watching, and I’m seeing that these are people that really know what they’re doing and really know what they’re talking about. So, I’m really in the learning stage. So, I’ll keep you posted. I’ll let you know how it’s going.

Here is the audio version of it.

Judith Light as Joan in "Shining Vale" on StarzSHINING VALE

Season 1 8 Episodes 2022

“Shining Vale” is a horror comedy about a dysfunctional family that moves from the city to a small town into a house in which terrible atrocities have taken place. But no one seems to notice except for Pat, who’s convinced she’s either depressed or possessed – turns out, the symptoms are exactly the same. Patricia “Pat” Phelps (Courteney Cox) is a former “wild child” who rose to fame by writing a raunchy, drug-and-alcohol-soaked women’s empowerment novel (a.k.a. lady porn). Fast forward 17 years later, Pat is clean and sober but totally unfulfilled. She still hasn’t written her second novel, she can’t remember the last time she had sex with her husband (Greg Kinnear), and her teenage kids are at that stage where they want you dead. She was a faithful wife until her one slip-up: she had a torrid affair with the hot, young handyman who came over to fix the sink while Terry was at work. In a last-ditch effort to save their marriage, she and Terry cash in all their savings and move the family from the “crazy” of the city to a large, old house in the suburbs that has a storied past of its own. Everyone has their demons, but for Pat Phelps, they may be real. Cox plays the lead role of Patricia “Pat” Phelps, with Kinnear playing her ever-optimistic husband, Terry Phelps, whose patience and self-control will be tested like never before. Mira Sorvino plays Rosemary, who is either Pat’s alter ego, a split personality, her id, her muse, or a demon trying to possess her. Dungey plays Kam, Pat’s oldest friend and book editor. Gus Birney and Dylan Gage also star as Pat and Terry’s teenage kids, Gaynor and Jake.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jennifer: Jack. Jack! Jack.

Jack: Jennifer. Jennifer.

Jennifer: Oh, there you are. Okay, “the spectator” just published the article about abigail’s disappearance.

Jack: Jennifer.

Jennifer: They have it online; I have a hard copy.

Jack: Jennifer!

Jennifer: What?

Jack: I have news.

Jennifer: What?

Jack: I heard from chad. He and tony know where abigail is.

Jennifer: What? Jack, where is she? Where is she? Are they gonna bring her home? What’s happening?

Jack: Yes, yes.

Jennifer: Okay.

Jack: If everything’s going right…

Jennifer: Yeah.

Jack: And well, chad should be rescuing her as we speak.

Jennifer: Oh, jack. Oh, gosh.

Sarah: Tony! Oh, my darling. Oh, I can’t believe you’re here.

Anna: It’s valentine’s day, and I’m all alone. I can’t reach my husband. I have no idea where he is or if he’s okay.

[Sighs] So now, I have to stress eat. Hey, who ate all the chocolate-covered cherries? Oh, tony, when are you coming home?

Tony: I’m sorry. Did you just call me your love?

Sarah: Well, of course, that’s what you are. That’s what you’ll always be.

[Giggles]

Chad: What the–

Abigail: I can explain, I think.

Kayla: That’s not funny, kristen.

Kristen: Who’s laughing?

Kayla: Telling us that you drugged the food that we just ate is just– is that your–is that your idea of a sick joke? Because it isn’t, and obviously, obviously, you didn’t do it.

Steve: What would be the point; you’re already holding us captive.

Kayla: Yeah, you wouldn’t need to sedate us.

Kristen: If you think I gave you a sedative, oh, you’re wrong. See, I gave you something a little bit stronger.

Steve: How strong?

Kristen: Oh, strong enough to permanently solve my problem that you two have been causing me. I do hope you enjoyed your anniversary. It may be your last.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Steve: We knew you were dangerous, but murder?

Kristen: Come on, chill out. No one’s gonna die.

Kayla: But you said–

Kristen: Oh, that I drugged you? Yeah, um, yes I did, but not with poison.

Steve: With what then?

Kristen: Oh, with this nifty little concoction that will make you forgot this whole ordeal. See, I can’t keep the two of you here on this island forever, nor would I want to. Frankly, you’re such lousy company. And lucky for you, I’m not interested in killing you. So, it would really suck if you remembered this little vacay and could testify against me.

Steve: What the hell are you talking about?

Kristen: Sorry, kids. But I’m afraid the island chicken comes with a side of amnesia.

[Screams]

Tony: My dear, what has come over you?

Sarah: Well, I know that I should wait until we’re alone to show my affection, but I just can’T.

Tony: No, no, no, no. That’s enough. You got to stop kissing me.

Sarah: Why?

Tony: Why? Because I’m a happily married man.

[Phone trilling]

Anna: Pick up. Pick up.

[Voicemail beeps] Straight to voicemail. The heck with this. I’m going to go get some answers.

Xander: Whenever we’re alone like this, I just lose all track of time.

Gwen: Really? Well, I know exactly what time it is. It’s time to eat. I’m starving.

Xander: Oh, ditching me for room service. Well, that’s very rude. Come back to bed right now.

Gwen: I will. I just want a few nibbles. Xander.

Xander: I want a few nibbles as well.

Gwen: Here you go.

[Chuckles]

[Both moaning] Um, xander. Um, there’s something I’d– I’d like to talk to you about. I just want to be serious for a minute.

Xander: Of course.

Gwen: Yeah.

Xander: What’s on your mind?

Gwen: Um… our wedding.

Xander: My favorite subject.

Gwen: Yes, well we do have a few details to sort out, don’t we?

Xander: Like what?

Gwen: Like when and where.

Xander: What about st. Luke’s?

Gwen: Right, yeah, the two town pariahs in front of god and everybody. Cue the lightning bolts.

Xander: We’re not so bad. My cousin, ciara, married a serial killer in that church.

Gwen: That sounds lovely. No, I was actually thinking that we could choose somewhere that’s a bit more personal to us.

Xander: Oh, like the– the horton family home?

Gwen: Do you want julie’s pacemaker to stop?

Xander: Good point. Well, let’s just table the venue for now. We’ll discuss the wedding party. I’m gonna ask jack to be my best man. Maybe jennifer would stand up for you?

Gwen: Come on, she thinks I killed her mother.

Xander: Not anymore. She knows that was an accident.

Gwen: Yes, still, it’s in poor taste.

Xander: Wait, I’ve got it, the perfect maid of honor.

Gwen: Who?

Xander: Ava vitali.

Gwen: Why would you suggest that I ask ava vitali to stand up for me at our wedding?

Xander: Well, why not? You–you said you two got close after her son died.

Gwen: No, I said that I offered my condolences because I knew charlie in passing.

Xander: Hm. I got the impression that you two formed a deeper connection, both having lost a child.

Gwen: My god, xander, I mean I just said a few kind words to the woman. You’re making it sound like we’re bosom buddies or something.

Xander: No need to get upset. It was just an idea.

Gwen: [Sighs] Sorry. Sorry. I will find someone. It just–it won’t be ava or jennifer.

Xander: Did you read her article about abigail?

Gwen: Yes, it was heart-wrenching.

Xander: A mother reporting on her daughter’s disappearance. I can’t imagine how difficult that must be, for jack as well. Hey, maybe we should swing by there, you know, express our support. Then I can ask jack if he’ll stand up for me while we’re there.

Gwen: Um, I think you should probably do that on your own because some things are sort of tense between abigail and I. I’m sure I’m the last person that they want to see.

Xander: Gwen, darling, if you’re still upset that your dad suspected that you had something to do with her disappearance, it’s like you said. That was just the worry talking. Jack knows you have no idea where your sister is. And when you told him that he could lean on you, it was clear how much that meant.

Gwen: He can lean on me. But you–you are asking him to be your best man. And, well, I think that that’s a moment that should be shared between just the two of you.

Xander: All right. Well, I’ll give him your love.

Gwen: Please do. Cheeky.

[Soft dramatic music]

Jennifer: But why would kristen go after abigail unless she was involved in sarah’s disappearance, jack?

Jack: Who knows what kristen’s thinking, why she does what she does? But at least when chad gets home with abigail, he will have some answers.

Jennifer: Oh, I hope he does.

Anna: Oh. Thank god you’re here.

Both: Anna.

Anna: I’m sorry. I’m sorry to just barge in like this, but the door was open and I’m going out of my mind with worry…

Jennifer: No, anna–

Anna: About tony, about abigail, about chad. No one will return my calls or my texts.

Jennifer: No, anna, we have really good news.

Anna: You do?

Both: Yes.

Jack: We know where abigail is, thanks to tony and chad. They’re on the way to her right now.

Anna: Oh, my gosh. That’s really great news. Oh, how wonderful. You must be so relieved.

Both: Yes.

Anna: Where is she?

Jack: Well, kristen has been holding her hostage on this abandoned dimera island. The one, you know, that’s off the coast of cartagena.

Anna: Oh, that island? Oh, wow. Well, I’m very happy for you, for all of us.

Jack: Well, you don’t look very happy. What is it, anna?

Anna: Well, it’s just that I know that island in question. I mean, I guess we’ve all heard of it, right? But for me, personally– never mind, I’m not going to rain on your parade with my selfish reaction.

Jennifer: Could you just tell us what you’re thinking, anna?

Anna: Well, I happen to know that my tony spent an extended holiday on that island with his very unstable– maybe I should say bonkers ex-lover, renée dumonde.

Sarah: I should have known that she was the reason you were being so cold to me.

Tony: Who is she?

Sarah: Your so-called wife. She’s been a thorn in my side since you two started dating, which you only did to get over me because we thought we were siblings.

Chad: I’m sorry, what?

Sarah: Don’t you see, tony? It didn’t work then and it won’t work now. You’ll never get over me.

Tony: Oh, dear god. Please help me.

Abigail: That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you. Sarah thinks that she’s renée dumonde.

Steve: Not so tough now, are you?

Kristen: Oh, enjoy your victory while you still remember it, ’cause you won’t once the drugs kick in.

Steve: Just how much of that crap did you put in our food anyway?

Kristen: Oh, enough to obliterate the memories of a herd of elephants.

Steve: I still think she’s bluffing.

Kristen: I assure you, I’m not. So if I were you, I would take this time that you have left to reminisce. You know, to reflect on all those warm and fuzzy moments you had with your children, with each other. Because soon, your epic love affair with the ole patch here, it will permanently fade to black.

Is now a good time

for a flare-up?

Tony: How is this possible? How can sarah horton think she’s renée dumonde?

Sarah: Ugh, god, not you too. I can understand this sarah nonsense from these two. But you? The only man I’ve ever truly loved? We can talk about it on the way to salem. All right, I’ve been stuck on this island for long enough. Let’s go.

Chad: We’ll be right down.

Sarah: Wonderful. That gives tony and i a moment to be alone.

Anna: Thank you. So my tony got that shady dimera pilot to come clean, huh?

Jennifer: Yes, and we are so grateful, anna.

Jack: Beyond grateful. I mean, without tony, I don’t think we’d– we wouldn’t have found her.

Anna: Well, as I’m sure you know, tony is devoted to all his brothers, but especially chad. And he would do anything for him.

Jennifer: Well, he really has gone above and beyond for what he’s done for chad this time. And for us too.

Jack: Yes. I mean I–hey, I need to let gwen know abigail’s coming home. Gwen has been so worried.

Anna: Well, how is your other daughter, jack?

Jack: Oh, doing very well, thank you–getting married, in fact.

Anna: [Laughs] Married? Really? Oh. Well, I’m so–that just surprises me, frankly.

Jack: Surprised, why?

Anna: Well–uh, never mind.

Jack: Tell us, anna.

Anna: Well, I don’t want to be insensitive, but– I mean, I know she is your daughter, but she has created a world of problems since she came to salem. I’m just wondering who– who would have the tolerance to put up with her tendency to lie, to be vindictive? I mean, what man would have the patience and fortitude to share his life with a woman like gwen?

Xander: That man would be me.

[Knocking on door]

Gwen: Bloody hell.

[Sighs]

Ava: Hey.

Gwen: What are you doing here?

Ava: We got a problem.

Chad: So kristen injected sarah with the same drug gwen used in your champagne?

Abigail: Yes. And I feel awful because I know firsthand the damage that that drug can do. You’re confused, and you have hallucinations. You feel terrified. And now sarah thinks she’s an entirely different person.

Chad: Right. There’s one thing I don’t get, is how did the drug give her my dead sister’s memories?

Abigail: Renée’s memories didn’t come from the drug. They came from her diary.

Sarah: But tony, we can’t leave. We have to eat first.

Tony: Oh, we can eat on the plane.

Sarah: But my sister went to the trouble of cooking up a feast for tonight. She made my famous island chicken. It would be an insult not to stay and enjoy it.

Tony: Oh, I’m sure she’ll understand.

Sarah: You listen to me! No one is going anywhere until we all sit down together and have a meal. I won’t take no for an answer.

[Laughs]

Kayla: We need to find the others before our memories fade. If we tell sarah and abigail what kristen’s done, then they can alert the hospital, and the staff can help us out as soon as we get home.

Kristen: Good luck with that, considering I drugged sarah and abigail too.

Steve: You did what?

Kristen: Oh, yeah, that’s right. All of my guests are having my very special island chicken tonight. By morning, none of you will remember how to tie your own shoes.

[Laughs]

Only daisy cottage cheese will do

Abigail: When sarah first got here, she was just like I was after gwen had drugged me. So to keep her calm and occupied, kristen gave her a bunch of books to read.

Chad: And renée’s diary was one of them?

Abigail: Yeah. Yeah, and she became so obsessed with the story, she started to think the entries were hers. And then she had a year to sink deeper and deeper into that delusion.

Chad: Poor sarah. Well, the good news is is we found you so we can head back to salem, and we can get her the help she needs.

Abigail: If I may ask, how did you find me? Not that i didn’t think you would.

Chad: Yeah. Um, ned grainger actually told us where you were.

Abigail: The pilot.

Chad: Mm-hmm. An eyewitness confirmed that he flew out of the airfield the same night you disappeared. I didn’t think that was a coincidence. But there was no flight plan. There was no security cam footage, and I didn’t know what to do. Luckily–luckily tony knew this ned guy a little bit.

Abigail: So you were able to just track him down?

Chad: Yeah, in florida. Tony convinced him to tell us where you were. And now we know kristen put him up to kidnapping you and flying you out here.

Abigail: Actually, it wasn’t kristen. It was ava.

Gwen: Are you mad? Xander could have seen you.

Ava: Relax. I watched him leave, I waited a bit, and then I came up.

Gwen: Why are you here?

Ava: I told you. We got a problem. I saw your step-monster’s article.

Gwen: Oh, that.

Ava: Uh, yeah, that. The deverauxs are back, and they’re using their newspaper to make a big stink about their missing daughter. It’s bad, gwen. It’s very, very bad.

Gwen: Okay, just calm down.

Ava: Well, that’s easy for you to say because abigail didn’t see you wearing the sarah mask.

Gwen: Which is not necessarily a problem.

Ava: I’m sorry, are you joking? What do you think is gonna happen if chad and tony bring dr. Horton and her chatterbox of a cousin back alive and well?

Jack: So xander, I’m sure anna didn’t mean to–

Anna: No, no, no. Jack, don’t apologize for me, ’cause I actually meant to say exactly what I said. And I’m sorry. I wish I didn’t feel the way I do because I care about you. And I realize, jack, that because she is your daughter, that you have tender feelings for her, but I don’T.

Xander: Really? I never would have known.

Jennifer: You know what? I just think we should stay off the subject of gwen right now, right?

Xander: No, no, no. No, let’s stay on the subject. I’d love to. And what I’d like to say is that gwen was deeply unhappy and very angry when she came to salem. That led to her consequently behaving rather badly.

Anna: [Laughs] Rather badly?

Xander: But she’s changed. She’s a wonderful, big-hearted person who feels deep regret for the hurt she caused the people that she now considers to be her family. Never mind “considers,” they are her family, and she’s terribly sorry for the way she behaved towards them.

Anna: Hm. You sure about that?

Jennifer: Anna, please.

Anna: All right, all right. Okay. I’ll shut up now. But I’m sorry– well, I’m not sorry about what I said about gwen. But I am sorry for all of you people in this room who now trust that woman. I mean, she was hired as a nanny to abigail and chad’s kids. And then she sleeps with chad just to ruin abigail’s life? And look what she tried to do to your marriage, you two. Letting you know that he had an affair while you were in a coma? And to what purpose? Spite or whatever?

Jennifer: I’ve gotten past that, anna.

Anna: Well, you are a more forgiving person than I am, because I could never get past the fact that someone took a wrecking ball to my life the way she did to yours and jack’s and to chad and abigail’S.

Xander: Look, can I please just get a word in here?

Anna: No. No. Because I know you’re just gonna go on some more about the big change in her. And yes, people can change. But in the case of gwen rizczech or riz–whatever, however you pronounce her name, I suggest you be careful, xander, because you never know what a woman like that could still be hiding.

Tony: Well, shall we get on with this?

[Both chuckle] Oh, everything looks delicious. Oh. Ow!

Sarah: Daphne dimera raised you better than that. It’s polite to wait until everyone is seated. Really, you were so concerned with decorum earlier. It’s obvious that anna’s lack of breeding has rubbed off on you. But don’t worry, I’ll fix it. I wonder what’s keeping abigail and my long-lost little brother.

Chad: Ava vitali was the one in the sarah mask?

Abigail: I know, it makes no sense. Why would ava want to hurt sarah?

Chad: I don’t know, maybe she was doing it to help a friend.

Abigail: You mean kristen?

Chad: Yeah, they were close at one point.

Abigail: But close enough to want to commit multiple felonies for her?

Chad: She’s in the mob. It’s kind of right up her alley.

Abigail: True.

Chad: Wait, so you– so you ripped off the mask, and then somebody just hit you from behind? Were you able to see whoever it was before you lost consciousness?

Abigail: No, no. The only person I know for sure was there is ava. Of course, maybe we could ask aunt kayla and uncle steve if they have any other insights. We should probably go find them.

Chad: Steve and kayla?

Abigail: Yeah. Kristen kidnapped them in italy and brought them here.

Chad: Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s go.

Trelegy for copd.

Jennifer: Look, uh, what if we try a more neutral subject to talk about?

Anna: That’s fine. I’ve had my say about gwen. Not another word.

Jack: Very good, very good. So xander, we just wanted to tell you– ’cause anna’s already heard the news, that abigail is coming home.

Xander: What?

Jennifer: Yes.

Xander: Oh, you waited this long to tell me?

Jack: Well, I couldn’t get a word in edgewise.

Xander: That is tremendous, tremendous news. That’s why I came over. Gwen and I read jennifer’s article in “the spectator,” and we wanted to express our support.

Anna: Oh, really? And, uh, where is gwen and all her support?

Xander: Well, if you must know, anna, as concerned as gwen was about her sister, she encouraged me to come here without her, given the still strained relationship between her and abigail.

Anna: How sensitive of her.

Jack: Anna, please.

Anna: Okay, all right. All right. On a happier note, it’ll be so wonderful and such a relief when abigail and chad and tony all come back safely to salem.

Jennifer: Yes.

Xander: On that, we can all agree. I know gwen feels the same.

Gwen: You need to stop, okay? Because your speculation, your doomsaying, is not helpful.

Ava: Oh, I’m sorry, gwen. Am I making you nervous?

Gwen: Yes.

Ava: Good. You should be. You should be freaking out, because if sarah and abigail get back here and they start squawking, it’s not just my life that’s gonna go up in smoke. It’s yours too.

Gwen: Kristen’s not gonna let that happen because she promised.

Ava: You think she’s gonna keep her promise?

Gwen: Well, she’s your friend, isn’t she?

Ava: A friend who blackmailed us into helping her escape. Trust me. If kristen’s back is up against the wall, she’s not gonna think twice about selling us out. And if she starts singing, then it is bye-bye, boyfriend. Bye-bye, daddy. Hello, statesville.

Kristen: Ah!

Steve: This should hold her for a while.

Kayla: Come on. Let’s go find abigail and sarah.

Kristen: Well, you better hope that they still remember you. I guess this is goodbye.

Kayla: Oh, no. No, no, no. You are going back to salem, where you’re gonna pay for everything you’ve done. Make no mistake, you’ll see us again.

Kristen: Oh, but by then, you won’t have a clue who I am or why I’m about to kill you.

[Laughing]

[Suspenseful music]

Chad: We need to find steve and kayla.

Tony: They’re here?

Chad: Apparently.

Abigail: Do you know where they are?

Sarah: I might have an idea or two.

Abigail: Could you take us to them, please?

Sarah: No can do, sis. I don’t trust that steve. He threatened kristen. I think he might be that serial killer that she warned me about.

Abigail: Um, okay, steve is my uncle. He’s a wonderful man. Can you please just take us to him and kayla?

Sarah: Okay, I will, right after we eat.

Abigail: We need to go now.

Sarah: Let me make myself clear. If you want to see your aunt and uncle, you will pull up a chair and join us.

Abigail: Fine.

[Tense music]

Chad: So, have you had any problems with the food on the island?

Abigail: Of course I was worried that I was gonna be poisoned, but it’s either eat or starve, so. Food’s been fine so far. This should be fine too.

Sarah: It is better than fine. It is the best chicken you will have in your life, so eat. And then I will take you o steve and kayla, I promise. Come on. What could be the harm in all of us having a nice family dinner together?

[Laughs] Rob did his best to manage his constipation

Gwen: By the way, xander’s not my boyfriend. He’s my fiancé.

Ava: Congratulations. Hm. Anyway, sorry I got a little worked up before.

Gwen: A little?

Ava: All right, the article threw me a little bit. But I’m happy for you, gwen, I really am. Guess what. My son is proposing to his girlfriend tonight.

Gwen: Wow.

Ava: Mm-hmm.

Gwen: Must be something in the water.

Ava: Don’t think so, because I’m drinking it, and nobody’s asking for my hand. Looks like everyone’s getting their happily ever after but me.

Gwen: Ava.

Ava: No, no, it’s all good. I mean, who needs love when you’ve got revenge to keep you warm?

Gwen: I will tell you that revenge does not solve anything. No, it doesn’t– does not make you feel better. It just makes you feel worse. You have to find another way.

Ava: Well, I tried, gwen. I went legit. I decided to stop being so possessive and paranoid. And what’d that get me? A boyfriend who cheated on me with my best friend.

Gwen: Which is awful.

Ava: Yeah. It’s not your problem, it’s mine. But seriously, congratulations. I’m sure that you and xander are going to have a long and happy life together. See ya.

Anna: So on that happy note where we’re all relieved– no, thrilled that your daughter and her husband and my husband will soon be home in salem safe and sound, I guess I better go.

Jack: Of course.

Jennifer: Yes, so good to see you, anna.

Anna: You too as well, my dear. And xander, I strongly urge you to heed my warning about gwen.

Xander: And I urge you, anna, to keep an open mind about my fiancée, who actually speaks quite highly of you.

Anna: [Laughs] Really? Yeah, I bet she’s just wild about me.

Xander: Well, she believes people can change, so she’s confident that one day, you’ll change your mind about her, maybe even offer her your hand in friendship.

Anna: Oh, well, not very likely, but I suppose stranger things have happened. So I’ll see you all soon.

Jennifer: Yes, goodbye.

Jack: Yes. Thank you, yes.

Anna: Just once again, congratulations on the wonderful news.

Jennifer: Yes.

Jack: Thanks.

All: Goodbye.

Jack: Bye.

Anna: Bye.

Jennifer: Bye.

Jack: Goodbye.

Jennifer: Wow.

Xander: Well, that was delightful.

Jennifer: Whew.

Jack: Anna can be outspoken.

Xander: That’s one word for it. Hey, now that we have a moment, just us, and you’ve gotten that great news about abigail, I just wanted to ask you, jack, if you’d be my best mate when I marry your other daughter?

Jack: Well, I– I have to think about it. Okay, I’ve thought about it, and yes, I’d be glad and happy to be your best mate.

[All laughing]

Xander: Well, I’m glad and happy to be your mate and soon, your son-in-law.

Jack: And that will make me a lucky man indeed.

Abigail: Well, the sooner we finish, the sooner sarah will take us to find aunt kayla and uncle steve.

Chad: I got to admit, this island chicken is actually really good.

Sarah: [Chuckles]

Kayla: No!

Steve: Don’t eat that chicken!

Kayla: Don’t eat the chicken!

Abigail: Oh, steve!

Kayla: My god, it’s too late.

Chad: What do you mean it’s too late? My asthma felt anything but normal.

Kayla: How much did you eat?

Chad: I ate half a chicken!

Sarah: Would you all calm down, please? No one has been poisoned.

Kayla: That’s not true. Kristen told us that she drugged the food.

Sarah: And I’m telling you she didn’T. I switched it out.

Tony: Switched it out with what?

Sarah: I found this earlier in the kitchen when kristen was cooking. It was filled with this weird, cloudy liquid, and it had a feather next to it. And then I remembered kristen telling me that the serial killer that was after me used a raven’s feather as his calling card.

Kayla: Well, that’s probably just a chicken feather.

Sarah: Well, we can’t be too careful. So I poured out the liquid, and I–I cleaned it very well. And then I filled it up with milk.

Chad: Just regular milk?

Sarah: We have goats here.

Abigail: So we’re not in any danger?

Sarah: Well, not unless you’re lactose intolerant.

Jack: For you, my love.

Jennifer: [Gasps] Oh. What is this? Why are you giving me this rose?

Jack: I don’t know. Check your calendar.

Jennifer: [Gasps] Jack. It’s valentine’s day. Oh.

Jack: All day long.

Jennifer: I feel terrible. What–I– oh, with everything going on, how did you even find time to shop?

Jack: Well, as a matter of fact, I’ve got a little story, mrs. Deveraux. You see, a long time ago, this plucky, young intern–

Jennifer: Plucky, I like it.

Jack: Yeah. Her name was jennifer rose horton, or ms. Horton for short.

Jennifer: Mm-hmm.

Jack: She came storming into my office, my newsroom, and my life and turned everything upside down and taught me a thing or two about faith.

Jennifer: Is that right?

Jack: Oh, yes. And with that faith, I decided to distract my mind for half an hour from worrying about our daughter to make sure that her mother had a valentine’s day to remember.

Jennifer: Bless your sweet heart, jack.

Jack: And that faith assured me that abigail would be coming home, the same way that I will always come home to you, my ms. Horton, jennifer rose.

Jennifer: I love you forever, jack deveraux.

Jack: I love you.

Jennifer: Happy valentine’S.

Jack: Happy valentine’s day.

Chad: What are we doing up here? We have to get on the jet and go home.

Abigail: I just want to grab this. We might need it if we want to be able to speak to renéE. I just really want sarah to be okay.

Chad: When we get home, we’re gonna be able to get her the help that she needs, okay? And I got to say how impressed I am that you knew that that was not sarah back in salem. I mean, I still can’t believe that it was ava.

Abigail: Neither can I.

Chad: As soon as we get home, she’s going down, and so is her accomplice.

[Door unlocks]

Gwen: How did it go with jack and jennifer?

Xander: Interesting.

Gwen: Interesting? How so?

Xander: Anna dimera was there.

Gwen: Oh. Yeah. She’s my biggest fan.

Xander: Forget that old windbag, I have some good news.

Gwen: Do you? Tell me.

Xander: Yeah, well, for starters, your dad agreed to stand up for me.

Gwen: Xander, that is wonderful.

Xander: That’s not all. Looks like abigail will be back in time for our wedding.

Gwen: What?

Xander: They found abigail. She’s coming home.

Sarah: You have no idea how happy I am that we’re finally together.

Tony: I have some idea.

Sarah: I can’t wait to get back to salem. Our first stop is gonna be divorce court.

Tony: Who’s getting divorced?

Sarah: You are. You’re going to kick that hideous anna to the curb.

Tony: Huh?

Sarah: [Laughs]

Kayla: I can’t wait to see kristen’s face when she finds out their plane was ruined.

Steve: Yeah, by her precious renee and some goat’s milk.

Kayla: She’s gone.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nick: If fireworks are detonating between ashland, dad, and victoria, I want the details.

Adam: Well, at the moment, I’m just speculating. Look, you’re a busy man. I’m happy to give you a call and give you an update when there is some news.

Nick: I’m not going anywhere.

Adam: Okay, well, can I take this to mean that you’ve changed your mind? You’re ready to team up with dad in calling ashland out for this hoax?

Nick: I don’t know what I’m gonna do, but if victoria’s in trouble, I can’t walk away from her.

Adam: Well, it’s too bad you weren’t here earlier. You could’ve helped me stall her while dad was confronting locke. God knows I am her least favorite person. I tried, but she did not stay long.

Nick: How hard did you try?

Adam: I’m not sure what you’re getting at.

Nick: Things could be blowing up with dad and victoria right now. I don’t think you’d have a problem with that. You might even be glad.

Adam: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: Ashland, are you in there?

[ Knock on door ]

Victor: Do we have a deal?

Nikki: Victoria.

Victoria: Hi. How did the marketing meeting go?

Nikki: All projects are on target to meet their deadlines.

Victoria: Thanks again for covering for me.

Nikki: I’ll fill you in on the details.

Victoria: I’d appreciate that.

[ Sighs ]

Nikki: After you tell me why we’re locked out of your office.

Victoria: I don’t know. Your guess is as good as mine. But I left my key in there when I went to newman media.

Nikki: I have one. I’ll get it.

Victor: I have proof that you have been lying about your illness from the beginning.

Ashland: No. All you have is theory.

Victor: I can share the evidence with victoria. I’d rather not. I don’t want her to be upset unnecessarily. If you have any love for her at all, you’ll agree to my terms. You will suffer a sudden relapse, you will have to go back to peru for treatment. Then you cut your ties with victoria as painlessly as possible. If you don’t follow my terms, you will suffer the consequences of your deception.

[ Door opens ]

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Someone want to tell me what the hell’s going on here?

Abby: If you’re here to see dominic, your timing couldn’t be any better.

Devon: Really? Why, what happened?

Abby: Well, he just got out of the bath and he smells delicious.

Devon: Uh-oh, a bath in the middle of the day — I hate to ask. Why?

Abby: He tried sweet potatoes and peas for the first time.

Devon: Oh, okay.

Abby: Yeah, it was a mess.

[ Laughs ]

Devon: Any pictures of it?

Abby: Only like a million.

Devon: Oh, good.

Abby: Just so happy that his appetite is finally coming back.

Devon: Oh, I know. He’ll be packing away the food in no time.

Abby: Yeah. Well, louise is upstairs getting him dressed if you want to head up to the nursery.

Devon: Yeah, yeah, I did come by to see him, but I also came by to ask you and chance if you guys would be okay with him coming and staying over for a couple days.

Abby: Oh, um…like today?

Devon: Yeah, only if it’s okay with you, though, ’cause i figure his recovery’s going so well that we can get our visits back on schedule.

Abby: Well, yes, he is improving, but we still have to be very careful.

Devon: Oh, yeah, absolutely. I know that. I would be extremely careful and attentive.

Abby: No, of course you would. I’m not implying otherwise. I just — I know that you’ve been wanting to spend some time with him at your place.

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: Hey.

Chance: Hey, guys.

Abby: How was your walk?

Chance: It was good.

Devon: I just stopped by to see dominic.

Chance: Oh, yeah.

Abby: Yeah, devon was asking if he could take him to his place for a couple of days.

Chance: Oh, well, I get why. He’s a fun little kid to have around, huh?

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: Yeah, it’s just hard for me to think about him not being here at night. You know, I’m still waking up a couple times a night to check on him.

Devon: Yeah, I completely get where you’re coming from. I’ve been waking up myself in the middle of the night worrying about him, and he’s not even in my house.

Chance: Well, maybe it’s not such a bad idea. I told you I was a little worried, given what’s happening later.

Devon: Wait, why’s that? What’s happening? My skin but better.

Additional sponsorship

provided by… when asthma symptoms strike, airways narrow.

Chance: I got my first therapy session later on today.

Devon: Really? With sharon?

Chance: No, no, someone she recommended. Ex-military.

Devon: Oh, that’s perfect. That’s perfect. Good for you, man.

Chance: Thank you. You know, without your words of encouragement the other day, I — well, I’d probably still be avoiding all this. Thank you.

Abby: Hmm, what’d I miss?

Chance: Oh, nothing. Devon just helped me realize that I can’t do this by myself. It’s time to find some help. You know, since we’re being honest with each other, I, uh — I’m pretty nervous about it, and I’m worried how I’m gonna be afterwards. I don’t know if I’m gonna be off, and I would hate for dominic to see me like that.

Abby: Yeah, chance is right. I’m sorry if I was hesitant before.

Devon: No, please. You don’t ever have to apologize to me.

Abby: Okay, well, I’ll go get dominic’s things ready.

Devon: Sounds good. Thank you. And, hey, I appreciate you helping her be cool with it.

Chance: And we’re lucky to have a friend like you to lean on, really.

Devon: I’m the lucky one to have you guys.

Chance: I meant what I said, too. If you hadn’t opened up and told me about your struggles, how hard it was for you, I’d — I’d still be toughing this out on my own, I feel like.

Devon: Well, let me tell you, it takes a very strong person to make the call that you did, so just know that what you’re doing isn’t just gonna benefit, it’s gonna benefit your whole family.

Chance: Yeah, that’s what I’m hoping for.

Devon: It will. And know that it’s not just like flipping a light switch, it’s gonna take time.

Chance: I know, I know, i know. There’s a lot that I have to face that I don’t really want to face.

Devon: I’m sure, but know that it’s worth it. Definitely is, and I have zero doubt that you will make it to the other side.

Chance: Thank you.

Devon: Yeah.

Adam: There’s no part of me that’s enjoying this situation.

Nick: You and vick aren’t close. You don’t support each other.

Adam: I don’t think that’s a fair statement, given everything that I did to support her at her wedding.

Nick: We both know you did that for dad, not her.

Adam: Regardless of what my motives were, I did a hell of a lot more than you did — that is for sure. You were not at the ceremony. You weren’t even at the reception.

Nick: That’s because I told her who ashland locke really was, and she asked me to stay away.

Adam: Okay. Be that as it may, neither you nor I wanted this guy to be part of the family, and after dad welcomed him with open arms, after he was fully aware of what he was capable of, I decided to trust his judgment, and I kept my mouth shut.

Nick: And you have been filled with resentment ever since, especially after ashland and victoria bought newman media and then you became their subordinate.

Adam: [ Scoffs ] Wrong. Ashland is an unbearable, back-stabbing son of a bitch — among other things. But, yeah, am I happy that I’m not gonna have to answer to him, assuming dad’s plan — whatever it is — works? Sure. Break out the champagne. But that is completely different than celebrating victoria’s broken heart after a failed marriage. Not that vindictive or small. So maybe you’re projecting your own feelings about the situation, nicholas.

Nick: Not the case at all. Was my prediction about ashland doing something awful right? Yes, but I meant it when I said I would rather be wrong about that. Victoria’s had to deal with more betrayals than anyone I’ve ever met. How do you think she’s gonna react when she finds out that ashland has been playing her for a fool? She’s gonna be crushed.

Victoria: Well, who wants to tell me why I was locked out of my office?

Ashland: Actually, I think that was my fault. I must’ve inadvertently locked the door when I came in.

Victoria: Daddy, what are you doing here? I thought that you wanted to meet me in adam’s office.

Ashland: Also my fault. Victor reached out to me and wanted to talk to me privately.

Victoria: Why?

Ashland: Well, the same thing that we wanted to talk to him about, basically — our plan to name a co-ceo of newman/locke. Apparently nikki was right, and your father has, uh…reservations.

Victor: By the way, when did you know about this?

Nikki: I only learned about it earlier today. I suggested victoria discuss it with you.

Victoria: I should ask you the same question, daddy. How did you know about our plans? Don’t tell me you have another mole in business affairs.

Victor: Sweetheart, that’s nonsense, okay? Nothing to do with it, and how i found out is not the issue.

Victoria: Well, if you’re going to be my advisor, there has to be a modicum of trust between us. Why did you want to talk to ashland without me?

Victor: Sweetheart, it isn’t like that at all. Ashland and I had a very productive conversation. I think we are seeing eye-to-eye. I mean, correct me if I’m wrong. I’m steve.

Abby: I love you.

Devon: Ready?

Abby: Call me anytime.

Devon: You do the same.

Abby: Bye.

Devon: Okay?

Abby: Have fun.

Devon: Thank you. I’ll see you guys.

Chance: See you guys.

Devon: Bye.

Abby: [ Sighs ] Is it ever gonna be any easier watching him leave?

Chance: Oh, well, look at it this way — by the time he goes off to his first day of school, you’ll be the one tough mom who’s not crying at all.

Abby: Stop it right now, ’cause I don’t even want to think about that. But you’re right. Dominic is gonna have a great time at devon’s, and I will be able to give you my undivided attention when you get home from therapy. Hey, why don’t I just ride with you? I can go shopping or grab a coffee while you’re meeting with dr. Huffman.

Chance: No, it’s all good. Thank you, though. I’ll be fine. And who knows? I might not even click with this guy. Takes a couple meetings to find the person you want, right? So who knows?

Abby: Hey, no pressure for some sort of breakthrough. Today is all about feeling it out, testing the waters, and just opening up about your feelings to someone.

Chance: [ Sighs ] Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Abby: Hey, no matter what happens, everything is gonna be okay because I am gonna be here waiting for you when you get home.

Chance: [ Exhales sharply ] You don’t know how much I’m hanging onto that.

Abby: Mm.

Nick: So what’s the game plan? What’s dad’s next move?

Adam: I couldn’t say.

Nick: Is that code for “i know what it is, but I’m gonna keep it quiet”?

Adam: Look, I understand why you would be suspicious after everything that went down in tuscany, but honestly, I do not know what dad has in store any more than you do.

Nick: Alright, I guess we’re both in the dark.

Adam: I mean, if you want me to speculate, I’d be happy to. Victor said he was gonna try to force ashland’s hand, so he’ll probably try to get him to confess or get him to turn himself in to the police.

Nick: Why would the police get involved? Is faking an illness a terrible and awful thing to do? Yes, but it’s not against the law.

Adam: He used the fabrication to trick victoria into marrying him — that is fraud.

Nick: Okay, grounds for annulment, but is it a crime? Victoria can invalidate the marriage, but it’s gonna be very difficult for her to get him out of her life for good. He owns half of newman/locke.

Adam: Yeah, he went through a lot of trouble and deception to make the merger happen.

Nick: If he goes, it won’t be quietly.

Victoria: Ashland and I are a team. We make decisions together, and I don’t need to be protected from that, unless your goal is to divide and conquer.

Ashland: No, it’s okay, victoria. Your father and I both want the same things — we want what’s best for you, we want what’s best for newman/locke, so now that you’re here and you see what’s — what’s going on, i think it might be best that your father express his concerns to you directly.

Victoria: Agreed.

[ Chuckles ] So what issue could you possibly have with ashland becoming co-ceo of a company that bears his name?

Victor: Sweetheart, I just think it’s too soon, you know? I mean, who’s to guarantee that ashland’s health will improve? I mean, think of all the stress you would be under on a day-to-day basis. He might have a relapse.

Victoria: I think there has to be more to it than that. I mean, obviously ashland has cleared this with his doctor, and he’s agreed. You know who ashland is at his core. He’s the same kind of person that we are. He — he’s fueled by his work. It energizes him. Taking this role, it’s what’s best for him.

Victor: If that is what he tells you, then, you know…

Victoria: Nobody has to tell me anything. I see it for myself. He’s been getting stronger, he’s doing wonderful. I mean, we’ve been bouncing ideas off of each other. We’re totally in sync, and that’s exactly how a company needs to be run — with both of us firing on all cylinders.

Nikki: You know, I think victor has a good point. I mean, really, it might be best to increase ashland’s involvement a little bit at a time. I worry that if we throw him in the deep end too soon, it could be too much for him.

Victoria: Well, if his condition worsens, then he’ll just take a step back. But I don’t see that happening. And in the meantime, what logical reason do we have to deny him the title and respect and the authority that he deserves? In fact, I am prepared to sign that agreement right now. I’ve been telling everyone… Do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need? Now you can sell your policy – even a term policy – for an immediate cash payment. We thought we had planned carefully for our retirement. But we quickly realized we needed a way to supplement our income. If you have $100,000 or more of life insurance, you may qualify to sell your policy. Don’t cancel or let your policy lapse without finding out what it’s worth. Visit coventrydirect.Com to find out if your policy qualifies. Or call the number on your screen. Coventry direct, redefining insurance. I just heard something amazing!

Nikki: Victoria, are you sure you want to do this?

Victoria: Mother.

Nikki: Well, what’s the harm in waiting a day or two, give it some more thought?

Ashland: I would not be opposed to that at all. Really, if a little more time, a little more consideration would make everyone feel good about this…

Victoria: Everyone does not need to feel good about this. My father wanted to weight in, I was willing to listen, but in the end, it’s my decision to make, and I know this is the right thing to do. Ashland?

Ashland: [ Gasps ] Just — just —

[ Breathing heavily ]

Victoria: Ashland, what’s going on?

Nikki: Oh, my gosh.

Victoria: Are you okay?

Ashland: Yes, I — I’m okay. I just — I’m sorry, I just —

Victoria: No, it’s okay.

Ashland: I think I just need to get a little air.

Nikki: I’ll get you some water.

Ashland: Can we just do this later, please?

Victoria: Yes, of course.

Ashland: I just need to step outside. I’m sorry.

Victoria: I’ll come with you. No, it’s okay, don’t be ridiculous.

Ashland: Listen, I’m really sorry, I really am sorry.

Nikki: Let us know if there’s anything we can do. Oh, my god.

Victor: You see?

Nikki: What — what I saw was a man suffering.

Victor: What you saw was a liar.

Nikki: What do you mean?

Victor: This was a performance he put on for your sake, for victoria’s sake. He did exactly what I asked him to do.

Adam: Pretty ironic, right? Victoria gets all kinds of praise for making the merger of the decade, when she was actually falling into a trap. And now she’s bringing the whole family down with her.

Nick: Adam, if I find out you’re using this to your advantage in any way —

Adam: I am not the one that you need to worry about. None of this is my fault. If you want to punish somebody, go find locke. But that would mean that you would need to get out of neutral territory, okay? So stop trying to be the good guy when you don’t have any skin in the game.

Nick: I’m not neutral, I’m pissed, and I’m staying out of it because I don’t know what dad’s plan is and I have no interest in being a pawn. But if vick is in trouble, she knows I will always be there for her.

Adam: What, a shoulder to cry on? Think she’s gonna need a little more than that after this.

Nick: And that’s what I keep coming back to. Saw this coming 50 miles away. I’ve tried to tell anybody about it who would listen, but they didn’t want to hear it. So what are my options? I can either stay on the sidelines, just tell vick that she made her bed and it’s not my problem, or I can walk away and let ashland get away with everything he’s ever done.

Adam: Well, which one is easier to live with?

Nick: [ Scoffs ] Neither.

Adam: Nick, you always pretend to be above it all, but the truth is, when the chips are down and someone comes after one of the newmans, you’re gonna get pulled back in just like the rest of us.

Devon: There you go. You remember this place, buddy? Do you remember? Remember your uncle moses and amanda and your bedroom upstairs with that big window? You can see the city out of it. Yeah. I want you to know you always have a home here, little man, full of people that love you very, very much. Even when you’re grown and you have a family of your own, you walk through those doors and you will be home. ‘Cause you belong here, too. That’s right. There you go.

Dr. Huffman: Have a seat. Make yourself comfortable.

Chance: Thank you, thank you.

[ Sighs ] So, uh, you’re ex-military?

Dr. Huffman: Army, captain, three tours overseas.

Chance: Alright. See any action?

Dr. Huffman: [ Sighs ] Things I couldn’t forget.

Chance: Stuck with you, too.

Dr. Huffman: Yeah, you know, I got help. Sometimes it’s not always easy for guys like us.

Chance: Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Dr. Huffman: How’d you find your way to me?

Chance: Sharon rosales. She’s a close family friend.

Dr. Huffman: Oh, yeah.

Chance: She — she thought I’d be more comfortable with someone who served.

Dr. Huffman: Are you? Comfortable now.

Chance: [ Sighs ] Far from it.

Dr. Huffman: [ Chuckles ] Thank you for your honesty. I can’t think of anybody who’s at ease their first day of therapy.

Chance: Alright, that’s good to hear.

Dr. Huffman: So, we’ll start with the easy stuff. Why are you here?

Chance: Um…well, I just want to be me again.

(Upbeat music)

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Devon: See? That’s how we play music. Just like that. That’s right. And if you don’t like the piano, you can play whatever you want, man. You can play the drums one day. You can play the trumpet. Yeah, or the guitar, maybe. Or you know what you can do? You can be a producer just like me, if you want, and then you can fill the whole world with new sounds. That’d be cool, huh? Gosh, man, I can’t wait to find out what you’re gonna be. But take your time. Take your time, ’cause you have your whole life. You’ll find it out. That’s right.

[ Chuckles ]

Dr. Huffman: Tell me about your family.

Chance: Yeah, yeah. Um…been married a year and a half. My wife’s name is abby. She’s great. She’s a great mom, very supportive, very patient with me. She’s a catch.

Dr. Huffman: How many children?

Chance: One so far. He was born when I was in spain, actually. Well, you know what? Actually, it’s a little bit more complicated than that. He’s not my biological son. You see, before I left the us, i was shot, and I —

Dr. Huffman: That happened when you were a civilian?

Chance: Yeah, yeah, that’s — that’s a long story. Actually, I was a detective at the gcpd for a while.

Dr. Huffman: Oh. We can circle back around.

Chance: Okay. Anyways, as soon as we got married, we tried to have children. She had some medical issues that prevented her from carrying a pregnancy to term, and for me, it was an infection that I got after I was shot in the hospital. So we had to use a donor and a surrogate.

Dr. Huffman: Your wife’s egg, but a donor for you, and someone else carried the baby?

Chance: Yeah, I know. Takes a village, right?

Dr. Huffman: Sounds like you really wanted to start a family.

Chance: Yeah, we always said the sooner, the better. That’s why we didn’t wait till i got back. We just moved on forward.

Dr. Huffman: How long were you away?

Chance: Almost a year.

Dr. Huffman: The whole pregnancy.

Chance: Yeah. Yeah.

Dr. Huffman: That had to be difficult.

Chance: Yeah, I missed my son being born.

Dr. Huffman: I’m sorry.

Chance: I really missed a lot. My wife keeps telling me that I’ll catch up, you know? But… I mean, see, doc, there’s this — there’s this guy, he’s the donor, he helped us. He’s a close family friend. And now we’re sharing custody with him.

Dr. Huffman: Now? So it wasn’t always that way?

Chance: No, that’s — that’s recent. At his request.

Dr. Huffman: Has that change been difficult for you?

Chance: Not really. For me, no. For my wife, yeah. And I just see the way that he is with my son — he adores him. He does anything for that kid. Recently, he needed medical intervention, and devon was there, no questions asked.

Dr. Huffman: How’s your son doing?

Chance: He’s good. Thanks for asking. He’s getting better every day. Um…it’s me I’m a little worried about. I, uh — I just feel like I’m — feel like I’m still waiting.

Dr. Huffman: For what?

Chance: To feel connected to him. To feel like he’s my son. Like a father should be. You know, the way that I think that I would feel if I was the man I was before I went on that mission.

Dr. Huffman: Okay. Sounds like we need to talk about what happened to you over there.

Chance: [ Sighs ]

Sally: I saw your father and brother leaving your office earlier. More family drama?

Adam: [ Sighs ] Never-ending.

Sally: Which category does it fall under — none of my business or something that could affect newman media?

Adam: Um…the latter.

Sally: I’m intrigued. And as your coo, a little concerned.

Adam: Well, I’ll spare you the details. Um…long story short, the whirlwind romance between ashland and my sister is likely about to implode.

Victor: Ashland can keep up this charade, okay? And then he will suddenly have a relapse and he will have to return to peru for “treatment.” And then he will cut off all ties to victoria and newman/locke.

Nikki: So he admitted to the lie?

Victor: Sweetheart, you saw how he backed off from signing that document. He’s a monster. I really need to understand that.

Nikki: Victor, what if you’re mistaken? I mean, what if ashland really is sick? Maybe he just wanted to get victoria alone, and he could be telling her right now what you accused him of. If that’s the case, she’s gonna side with him and be furious with you. Oh, victoria, we thought you left with ashland.

Victoria: He insisted on being alone.

Victor: I’m so glad you came back.

Victoria: Well, that makes two of us, because I want to make something absolutely clear to you. What you did to ashland is utterly unacceptable. Sweet pillows of softness!

Dr. Huffman: Tell me about the night that everything went sideways in spain.

Chance: Um…our cover was blown. We had no warning, no indication. I was walking in to the safe house carrying groceries. Next thing I know, all hell’s breaking loose.

Dr. Huffman: An explosion?

Chance: It was like earth just got ripped in half, you know? I was blown back, hit my head. I couldn’t see, I couldn’t hear. I was pretty out of it. Once I came back and the smoke cleared…I just saw nothing. Absolutely nothing. Our whole building was just gone. And I — I made my way through, you know, what was left, looking for my team. Nothing. Um…then I had some — some men approaching the site. You know, they were walking. They weren’t running, they were walking real slow, real deliberate. And it was our targets. They came looking for survivors. Came to, uh — came to finish the job.

Dr. Huffman: What did you do?

Chance: I, um…I buried myself in some rubble and i played dead. Not my proudest moment. Anyways, emergency personnel showed up. You know, we all heard the sirens. They took off. I made sure everything was clear, and then I did the same. I got out of town and I found some friends that I served in iraq with. Former medics. Patched me up, let me hide out there.

DR. Huffman: Good people.

Chance: Yeah, the best. Craziest part is my family was told that I was dead. My wife, abby, she — she didn’t believe it. So she came looking for me, and she found me, she brought me back, and…yeah.

Dr. Huffman: Your family must have felt like it was a miracle you survived.

Chance: It was the answer to their prayers, right? Keep saying how lucky I am, that I’m a hero.

Dr. Huffman: And you don’t agree?

Chance: No, that didn’t sit well with me.

Dr. Huffman: [ Sighs ] Tell me, how often do you replay that day in your mind?

Chance: Every day.

Dr. Huffman: Mm.

Chance: I mean, it’s to the point where I hear a car backfire and I’m back. I catch a certain smell, if the sky is a certain shade of blue, I’m back. I just can’t escape it.

Dr. Huffman: Do you dream about it?

Chance: Mm-hmm. I thought that would stop over time, but it didn’T. Um…I usually just see faces.

Dr. Huffman: Mm-hmm.

Chance: Like my team. I can see their face. They talk to me, and, you know, they ask me things. It’s like this torture that i can’t escape.

Dr. Huffman: Do you think you’re being punished?

Chance: Yeah.

Dr. Huffman: For what?

Chance: Failure. I failed my team.

Sally: Tell me this is some horrible joke. There is no way that victoria and ashland’s honeymoon is already over, after that incredible wedding in tuscany. They were so in love.

Adam: You know, things aren’t always as they appear, especially when it comes to locke.

Sally: If you tell me that he’s been cheating on her, i will never forgive him.

Adam: Wow, I didn’t realize that you were so invested in their relationship.

Sally: Well, I wouldn’t necessarily say that, but, i mean, I can’t help but feel for your sister. Her wedding made international news, partly because of the unforgettable dress I designed.

Adam: Okay, I guess you do have a big of a stake in this.

Sally: If she and locke split after a matter of months, she’s not only gonna be heartbroken, but she’s going to be humiliated. I know that you two aren’t the closest of siblings, but you have to at least be somewhat sympathetic to her plight. Right?

Victor: Which line do you think I’ve crossed?

Victoria: You upset and you insulted my husband. Acting like we’re doing him some favor by allowing him to help us run this company that he half owns! He is a brilliant businessman. He has connections all over the globe. He is feared and respected by top corporate leaders. Explain to me why would I keep an asset like him on the sideline.

Victor: Well, I mean, i wouldn’t mind if he gave you some advice every so often, but why give him all this authority?

Victoria: It is so frustrating for him to work this way. He feels like he’s got one hand tied behind his back.

Victor: Mm.

Victoria: You know, it was one thing when he was ill and he could only handle a supporting role.

Victor: Well, maybe he just had a relapse, you know? Perhaps he’s not as well as he wants us to believe he is.

Victoria: He is reacting to the pressure that you’re putting on him, and I do not believe for one moment that your objection has anything to do with ashland’s health. It’s all about control for you. That’s the way that it’s always been. You’re the king-maker. It’s all about you. You can’t stand the fact that I’m making the decisions. Why can you not just learn, daddy, to trust my judgment? I’m in this place because i deserve to be here, so let me do my job in my company the way that I see fit.

[ Sighs ] What are you doing here?

Nick: I just came to see how you’re doing.

Victoria: Right, innocent visit. You just happen to be in the neighborhood. You’re here because you knew exactly what dad was up to. Don’t deny it, nicholas. I can see it all over your face. So how long have you known about this? Has the entire family been discussing this behind my back?

Abby: Hey.

Chance: Hey.

Abby: How’d it go?

Chance: It went.

Abby: Did you like your therapist?

Chance: Yeah. Yeah, he was cool. Seems to know what he’s talking about, so that’s a good sign.

Abby: Did you guys get into any of the tough stuff? You know what? It’s none of my business. I just — I worry.

Chance: I know. And you know me — if I’m gonna do something, I’m gonna do it. But, damn, is it hard. I’m exhausted. There’s a lot of work to do. Not gonna be any quick fixes.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Chance: What? No, no, come out with it. If I can’t hold back, neither can you. Come on.

Abby: Look, I know that you think you have to be perfect and that there are a lot of broken pieces that need to be put back together, but I love you. Always. No matter what. And we are gonna get through this together. I’m just so proud of you for facing this head on.

Adam: Of course I feel bad for victoria. Wasn’t that long ago that I got my heart broken by someone i loved and trusted. Wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.

Sally: Then why are you so calm about this?

Adam: Because she’s a survivor, just like the rest of the newmans. And the family will rally around her. That is what I was talking to nick and my dad about.

Sally: This must be a huge disappointment for victor. I know he was counting on victoria and ashland to run his empire, but if ashland gets kicked to the curb, victoria — bare minimum — is gonna be distracted if not devastated. She could lose focus and question her decisions. Newman/locke could suffer. But who would be in charge?

Adam: $10 billion question.

Ashland: Just…listen to me. You need to find everyone who’s talking to michael baldwin and put an end to it immediately. And forever. Do we understand each other?

Victoria: How old do I have to be? And what is it that I must do to live my life without constant interference from our father?

Nick: Just get out of the business, vick. The closer you are to the fire, the worse you get burned.

Victoria: He has been going behind my back and spying on me. It’s intolerable. And apparently you knew all about it, because why else would you be here?

Nick: Don’t lump me in with all this, alright? I had nothing to do with it. Dad just filled me in a little while ago.

Victoria: If I find out that you’re lying to me…

Nick: Everything I’m telling you is true. I learned a long time ago to stop involving myself in your life. I didn’t even know dad was gonna tell you about it.

Victoria: Wait a minute. Tell me what?

Proofread by Anita

Portia: Check out the double-sided fireplace. And look, all this outdoor space for entertaining. Hold on.

Curtis: Look at that big room for Trina, just in case she wants a break from dorm life.

Portia: What do you think?

Curtis: Well… I think it’s perfect. And I take it you agree.

Portia: I absolutely love it.

Curtis: I absolutely love you.

Portia: Oh, my gosh. Did we just find our new home?

Curtis: We might have.

Portia: [ Squeals ] Wow. Oh, baby.

Curtis: Baby.

Jordan: What does it take for a girl to get a drink around here?

Curtis: Jordan.

Jordan: Hello, Curtis. Portia.

Portia: [ Chuckles ]

Britt: Nina, hi.

Nina: Hi. I’m so sorry to surprise you like this.

Britt: No, it’s fine. Is everything okay?

Nina: No, I’m just so damn tired of Carly painting me as this home-wrecking schemer, you know? And everyone’s just standing in line, taking her side. And yes, I’m not blameless. I’m not saying that. I am human. But she’s the one who rejected Sonny and sh– the divorce — it’s on her. It’s not on sonny. And it’s certainly, Britt, not on me.[ Exhales deeply ]

Britt: Feel better?

Nina: A little. Thanks. I just — I guess I needed to just say that out loud, and… I know that you’ve been on the receiving end of Carly’s special blend of malice, so you can sympathize.

Britt: Mm, not really.

Anna: It’s not that I don’t trust you. It’s just that I don’t trust you. Why meet there of all places? Alright, I’m on my way. But listen, if this is a trap, one of us will regret it, and it won’t be me.

Maxie: Your friendship means a lot to me.

Austin: Okay, how much?

Maxie: Like, on a scale from one to 10?

Austin: Sure.

Maxie: [ Scoffs ]

Austin: There was a time not long ago, Maxie, when you and I talked about being more than just friends.

Maxie: I remember.

Austin: But you said that you wanted to focus on getting your then-Louise now-Bailey-Louise back.

Maxie: And she is.

Austin: Right. So what are you gonna focus on now?

Elizabeth: Betsy. I wasn’t expecting you.

Betsy: There’s something I need to — uh, I-I-I thought you’d be alone.

Elizabeth: Betsy, wait. You’re clearly here for a reason. Just tell me what it is.

Betsy: I wasn’t honest with you before. You deserve the truth, Elizabeth. All of it.

Finn: The truth about what?

Betsy: You’re the doctor, right?

Elizabeth: Yes, this is Dr. Hamilton Finn. He’s a friend of mine. But you already know that.

Betsy: I guess I do.

Elizabeth: You said I deserve to know the truth.

Betsy: About what? About…[ Gasps ]

Elizabeth: Betsy?

Betsy: It’s, uh… about why I’m here and what I’ve done.

Austin: I shouldn’t have done that.

Maxie: Um, I’m the one that kissed you.

Austin: Uh, yes, you did. That’s true. You did.

Maxie: Should I not have?

Austin: N– oh, Maxie, I’ve wanted us to kiss since… I mean, I-I can’t pinpoint the exact moment, but for quite a while now.

Maxie: What stopped you?

Austin: Well, when we first met, you were under extreme duress from the life that you had before we met. And then you were holding vigil for your lost daughter, even though she was hiding in plain sight from your psycho ex.

Maxie: Right. And you were comforting me.

Austin: I tried. And then I felt really guilty that I accidentally told Victor something that helped him and… I don’t know, and then… after your nut-job ex was no longer a threat —

Maxie: oh, no. I think the word you’re looking for is “dead.”

Austin: Yes, he’s dead.

Maxie: Um, why didn’t you kiss me then?

Austin: When Peter died? You were in Europe.

Maxie: After I got back.

Austin: Well… I-I just thought you — I don’t know. You might want a little space to process things.

Maxie: Okay, wait. So are you not trying to rush things or you want to respect my feelings?

Austin: I do. You say that like it’s a bad thing.

Maxie: No, no, it’s not. Not at all. If that’s really the reason.

Austin: What other reason could there be?

Maxie: Maybe you’re having second thoughts?

Curtis: I knew you were coming back soon. How about giving a guy a heads up?

Jordan: Ever since I got the okay from my doctors, all I’ve been focusing on is getting back.

Curtis: Does TJ know?

Jordan: Yes, he knows. I haven’t seen him yet. I went straight to G.H., But he was still in surgery.

Curtis: Okay.

Portia: Well, isn’t that doctors for you? Always inconsiderate of other people’s time.

Jordan: I know, right? What’s wrong with all of you? It’s good to see you, Portia.

Portia: Mm, it’s good to see you, too, Jordan. And since I’m a doctor, I can’t help but ask you, how’s the recovery going?

Jordan: So long as I don’t inhale a basement full of carbon monoxide again, I’m good to go.

Portia: Yeah. [ Chuckles ] Once was good enough for me, too. I just have to say that you look absolutely wonderful.
Jordan: Thank you. I feel good. Anyway, I didn’t mean to interrupt. I’ll catch up with you both some other time.

Curtis: Oh, please, please, you know better than that. Have a seat.

Portia: Uh, I’m meeting TJ and Stella for dinner, and I thought — well… never mind what I thought. You’re busy, so I’ll catch you later.

Curtis: Jordan, wait. Jordan, wait.

Nina: Are you on Carly’s side?

Britt: Absolutely not.

Nina: Well, I didn’t think so, Britt. I mean, clearly I was distracted when I was in Nixon Falls with everything that was going on, but I got the impression that you had a real connection with Jason. And then all of a sudden, Carly swoops in and the next thing you know, he’s marrying her.

Britt: Yeah. [ Scoffs ] That happened because Carly and Jason thought Sonny was dead. And that happened because of you. Look, I-I’m not judging you, okay? I’ve done more than my share of scheming. I’ve told lies that are arguably just as damaging. Besides, we’re family. That promise we made on Nathan’s grave is one I want to keep. So if anyone’s coming for you, Nina, I have your back.

Nina: Thank you.

Britt: But as family, I feel justified to call B.S. When I’m hearing it. A-and maybe you didn’t set out to wreck Carly’s marriage. But that is what you did. And there was bound to be fallout.

Anna: What is this about? Look, whatever game you’re playing, I have had enough drama recently to last me a lifetime, so whatever game this is, just count me out, okay?

Dr. Obrecht: I’m sorry, Anna. I’m afraid you’re “all in” now. Up to your pretty little neck.

Elizabeth: Okay, betsy, what have you done?

Betsy: Are these yours?

Elizabeth: No, they’re my son’s. Jake’s.

Betsy: The artistic one. Bobby wrote me all about him. He was so proud of Jake. Maybe Jake will grow up to be as talented as Bobby was.

Elizabeth: You were just about to tell us what you’ve done.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Elizabeth: Excuse me. Oh, hi. Perfect timing. Come in. Um, you guys remember Betsy.

Dante: Yeah.

Elizabeth: She was just about to tell us what she did and why she did it.

Dante: I think we know why.

Austin: No, I-I’m not having second thoughts, Maxie. I’m having a thought and then, like, another thought and then another thought. And another thought. I’m thinking that to respect someone’s boundaries is a really nice thing to do.

Maxie: Boundaries.

Austin: Yeah. I figure you might want a little space and time after a solid year of fear and doubt.

Maxie: Yeah, you’re right. Space and time and boundaries — those are all usually really good things.

Austin: Okay. But not this time?

Maxie: Peter kept me in a cage for a year, confined by his obsession. At long last, he’s finally gone, and I can do things that make me happy without worrying that they’re gonna jeopardize my children. So, no, I don’t think I need boundaries. I’m ready to make up for lost time. Are you?

Portia: If you two need to talk, I can step out. I can check my email.

Jordan: Why would you need to step out?

Curtis: No, Portia, you should stay. Um, Jordan, I didn’t want you to hear this from someone else.

Jordan: You’ve been house hunting together. I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but I overheard something about a double-sided fireplace and a nice big room for Trina.

Portia: [ Chuckles ]

Jordan: Sounds ideal.

Portia: It’s a little early to get our hearts set on it or anything. We haven’t even called the agent yet.

Curtis: No, we, uh — we should move fast.

Jordan: Then do that. An opportunity like this, you don’t want to wait.

Portia: You know, Jordan, once you’re all settled in and everything, let’s get together. We can grab some lunch or something like that.

Jordan: Absolutely. Maybe you can do me a favor.

Portia: Yeah, name it.

Jordan: Laura gave me a mini briefing on all the criminal activity going on during my convalescence. Maybe you two can catch me up on what the law-abiding citizens have been doing.

Nina: You’re right. I fell in love with a married man. It was a mistake, but I can’t be the only person in the whole world that that’s ever happened to, Britt. And Carly, she just insisted on this divorce. She rammed it through practically overnight.

Britt: Okay, correct me if I’m wrong, but that was after she found you and Sonny in bed together.

Nina: We thought the marriage was over.

Britt: Convenient.

Nina: Britt, I didn’t go to the haunted star intending to sleep with Sonny. It’s just all these feelings that we had been fighting for — for months we couldn’t fight anymore. I’m sorry that I hurt Carly, but I am a good grandmother, and I sure as hell don’t think it should cost me my grandson.

Britt: What does this have to do with Wiley?

Nina: Willow just informed me that there’s no clear path in me seeing Wiley. They want to shut me out of my grandson’s life.

Elizabeth: Betsy, these are our friends Sam McCall and Dante Falconeri.

Betsy: Sam McCall. You’re married to that man who hates my son. Jason. Is he here?

Sam: Jason passed away.

Betsy: Oh. I’m sorry for your loss.

Sam: Thank you.

Finn: Do you know Dante as well?

Betsy: Yes. You’re the cop.

Dante: Yeah, that’s right.

Betsy: Am I in trouble?

Dante: Uh, no. Uh, nothing like that. I-I did notice you were checking out that portrait before. Do you like it?

Betsy: Like it? I love it. Bobby painted that.

Dante: Yeah, it, um — well, it was brought here, saved, really, from a fire in his studio. A lot of weird things, strange things have been happening with — with Elizabeth and Franco’s belongings.

Betsy: What strange things? What’s going on?

Dante: We were kind of hoping maybe you could tell us.

Betsy: Well, I don’t know anything. What could I tell you?

Dante: Well, um… maybe you could tell us why you were committed to a mental health facility recently.

Betsy: How do you know that? That’s private.

Dante: It was part of a police record.

Betsy: Oh, right. I-I guess it would be.

Dante: You were temporarily hospitalized so that you wouldn’t hurt yourself or someone else.

Leisl: I haven’t heard from you since your return from Switzerland. Mein Mutterland. Trittst im Morgenrot daher Seh’ich dich im Strahlenmeer

Anna: I don’t know what’s happening.

Leisl: It’s rude to interrupt the Schweizerpsalm.

Anna: Oh, okay. W-why do you think that you should have heard from me?

Leisl: Ah. I see.

Anna: What? See what?

Leisl: That our cathartic afternoon in the rage room bonding over our destructive power meant nothing to you.

Anna: Well, I wouldn’t say nothing.

Leisl: I mistakenly thought you and I had achieved a kind of breakthrough that day, that we might begin to put the past behind us.

Anna: Okay, sure. Yeah, I thought so, too. Why am I here?

Leisl: I should think that would be obvious.

Austin: Maxie, I’m all for making up for lost time.

Maxie: That’s great.

Austin: Okay.

Maxie: But?

Austin: But you were just chased into a European forest like you’re in some kind of Grimms’ fairy tale.

Maxie: I know what I went through, Austin. I lived it. That’s even more of a reason to put it behind me.

Austin: Right, but it would be okay if you didn’t want to rush into anything, if you wanted to take your time.

Maxie: Oh. Okay. I understand now.

Austin: Okay.

Maxie: You’re scared.

Portia: I’m not surprised that Trina’s going full-steam at PCU. But that gallery exhibit sounds amazing.

Portia: Oh, it was.

Curtis: Yeah. So, Jordan, I know you asked about law-abiding citizens, but, uh —

Jordan: I knew that would only last us so long. Who did what now?

Curtis: What have you heard about Sonny?

Jordan: Laura told me that he and Carly are over. But I didn’t get many details.

Curtis: Don’t worry, you will. Everybody’s talking about it.

Jordan: I also heard that Jason Morgan never came back from Greece.

Curtis: Missing, presumed dead. But that was after he rescued Britt Westbourne and Liesl Obrecht, of all people.

Jordan: Whatever his faults, we’ll call them, Jason was a remarkable person. There’s really no hope?

Curtis: Doesn’t look like any. I’m just glad he was able to rescue Drew.

Jordan: I’m happy for you, Curtis. I know you missed your friend.

Curtis: Yeah, it’s really good having him back.

Jordan: Question — why did I have to hear from TJ that your father finally resurfaced after all these years?

Curtis: Yeah. Well, when Marshall came back, I didn’t want to talk about him. Or to him. So I’m gradually getting used to having Marshall in my life. But, you know, it’s a process. Jordan: I can’t wait to meet him. So, are there any other secrets out there? Anything else I should know? A good cop likes to be prepared.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Curtis: TJ?

Jordan: Yep. And I’m officially late. Again, good luck on the house. I know you’ll be happy there.

Curtis: Well, uh, that went well, don’t you think?

Nina: I’ve gone over and beyond trying to avoid a legal battle, but they’re leaving me no choice.

Britt: Well, are you sure about that? The more you escalate things, the more Michael and Willow are likely to come back at you twice as hard.

Nina: Oh, I get that, I get it. But it’s not just them. I-I admit my interactions with them are at an all-time low, but it’s also Carly. She doesn’t want me to have a relationship with Wiley at all. And she can dress it up as much as she wants. But it’s retaliation, plain and simple.

Britt: Okay, I’m gonna have to stop you right there, Nina. Not because what you’re saying is untrue, but because what I’m hearing you tell yourself is that you’re right and you are the victim and Carly’s wrong and she’s the bad guy. The more you lock into that kind of thinking, the less likelihood there will be of a compromise.

Nina: But I’ve tried to compromise, and I still don’t see my grandson.

Britt: And one more consideration — Sonny may be divorced, but you’re starting a war against his ex-wife and his son. That could put a real crimp in your romance.

Nina: So you think I shouldn’t go to court?

Britt: I think you need to be honest with yourself about what you can gain and what you stand to lose.

[ Cell Phone beeps ]

Britt: Excuse me. I have a patient.

Nina: Okay. Listen, thank you for talking to me. It’s not what I wanted to hear. But I needed to hear it.

Britt: Any time.

Anna: That was a very good shot.

Leisl: I know. I’ve been practicing.

Anna: Okay, so you still haven’t explained what this is about.

Leisl: I needed privacy to discuss a détente, a peace between us.

Anna: Really? Given our history? How do you think I’m gonna react?

Leisl: Yes, our overall history has been contentious and complex.

Anna: Mm-hmm. An understatement.

Leisl: But our recent history has been far more constructive and straightforward. You in the Northern Alps of mein Mutterland —

Anna: You’re not gonna sing again, are you?

Leisl: And I here in Port Charles, our mutual adopted home. Together, we were able to locate Maxie and bring her home safely to her daughter.

Anna: Well, a lot of people made that possible. But yes, you were one of them. Yes.

Leisl: I wish I could have been there when Peter met his end.

Anna: Oh. That was necessary. It’s not something I take any joy in.

Leisl: Of course you don’t. But I do.

Anna: Well, yes, I mean, you do have every right, given what he did to you.

Leisl: The person most entitled to see Peter suffer and die was Jason Morgan. Perhaps Jason can torment Peter in the afterlife, ja? [ Chuckles ]

Anna: You know, I’m forever in awe at what you consider to be “comforting thoughts.”

Leisl: But you understand it. And in your own way, you understand me. And I you.

Anna: What if we do?

Leisl: What do you say to a new beginning?

Elisabeth: Betsy, why didn’t you tell us you were admitted to a mental health clinic?

Betsy: Because it’s embarrassing.

Finn: No. You don’t have to be embarrassed.

Sam: Yeah, no one is here to judge you.

Finn: We just want to know the truth about why you came here.

Elizabeth: You were just about to tell us.

Betsy: Was I? I’m having trouble now.

Dante: Um, maybe I could ask you a few questions that will help get you back on track, yeah?

Betsy: Okay, I guess.

Dante: Okay. Do you, uh — do you want to have — have a seat?[ Clears throat ] You didn’t go to Franco’s grave today, did you?

Betsy: I wanted to, but I couldn’t. From the moment I heard Bobby was killed, I just couldn’t face up to it.

Elizabeth: It was a terrible loss for everyone who loved him.

Betsy: And you were one of those people. You loved him, stood by him, gave him hope. It was different with me.

Dante: Um, different how?

Betsy: I failed him just when he needed me most. And when I heard he was gone and I’d never get the chance to — never. [ Crying ]

Elizabeth: It’s okay. We understand.

Dante: You couldn’t bear losing Franco, so… you put it on Elizabeth?

Betsy: What? No. I didn’t. Cross my heart.

Austin: I’m not scared of you. Why would I be scared?

Maxie: Oh, come on, Austin. There’s a reason you were living in the middle of nowhere when we met.

Austin: Yeah, I was waiting for the right time to come to Port Charles.

Maxie: You could have done that at any point. You were hiding from the world. I basically dropped in out of the sky, in labor, no less. I was in a crisis. You needed to help me. We had this connection, but something was always getting in the way, namely havoc being wreaked by Peter.

Austin: Right. But not anymore.

Maxie: No. Now that Peter is dead…

Austin: yay.

Maxie: …We’re no longer in a crisis where everything we feel is being heightened. I want to know if our crisis feelings are really crisis feelings or if they’re real feelings. Don’t you?

Austin: Yeah, I do.

Curtis: Well, Jordan certainly seems to be in a good place.

Portia: She’s very supportive of us moving in together. Me and her ex-husband.

Curtis: You think she’s trying too hard?

Portia: I think she’s still in love with you. Not that I blame her. I know from experience you’re a hard man to get over.[ Chuckles ]

Curtis: Based on experience, right back at you.

Portia: The point is is that you are the type of man that comes along once in a lifetime. And for me, twice. And if I know that, Jordan knows it, too.

Cameron: Ms. Henry, it’s so good to see you.

Stella: Oh, it’s good to see you, too, Cameron.

Cameron: How are you feeling?

Stella: Fully recovered. And it’s very kind of you to ask.

Cameron: I’m very happy to hear that. Um, I don’t know if you remember, but I was at Kelly’s the day of your stroke.

Stella: You were? I-I’m sorry. My memory of that day is still a bit cloudy.

Cameron: It’s no problem. I-I’m just happy to hear that you’re — you’re feeling better.

Stella: Yes.

Cameron: Although I am very sorry about your envelope.

Stella: Envelope?

Cameron: I just hope it wasn’t too important.

Anna: If this was just about surviving Peter, then I would say yes to a new beginning, of course. But I — I can never forgive you for the hell you put Robin through.

Leisl: That was Cesar’s doing. My most heinous misdeeds were at his behest. Most of them, anyway. But that fact does not move you. Is that what you’re saying?

Anna: I don’t know. I mean, look. I understand a lot of damage can be done for loving someone that — when it’s not returned. I get that. I’ve seen it. And for you, it was Faison. For Peter, it was Maxie.

Leisl: For Cesar… it was you.

Anna: Right. I guess that’s something that we — we share, we have in common, that we’re free of that obsession now.

Leisl: Yeah. Thankfully, I shed mine and found real love with Scott.

Anna: Scott. Okay.

Leisl: Our pairing amuses you?

Anna: No, no, no, no. No, I’m very happy for you.

Leisl: For the woman who’s brought such pain and sorrow on you and those you love?

Anna: None of us are blameless, are we? It was Faison’s obsession with me that brought him to town and cost Nathan his life, right?

Leisl: Thank you for that. When it comes to my son’s death, there’s plenty of blame to go around.

Anna: Hey, look. I’m not sure that we can ever be, you know, friends. But I do think that maybe we should find a way to put our past behind us.

Finn: It’s okay, Mrs. Frank. You’ve been upset and confused.

Betsy: Have you ever gone crazy, Dr. Finn? Not upset and confused, but grief that hits you so hard, you just go all-out nuts?

Finn: Yeah, I have.

Betsy: It’s terrible, isn’t it?

Finn: Yeah.

Sam: Well, here’s a possible explanation, Betsy. Maybe you don’t remember taking Elizabeth’s wedding ring.

Betsy: What would I do with your wedding ring?

Dante: Do you have any recollection of cutting up her dress?

Betsy: Cutting up her dress?

Dante: Burning down Franco’s art studio?

Betsy: I would never.

Dante: And bringing that painting here?

Betsy: Of course not. I love my Bobby. I love his art. I would die before I let anything happen to his work.

Finn: You know Betsy, um… people handle grief differently. Some withdraw into a shell. Others act out.

Betsy: Which one did you do?

Finn: Well, I acted out. How about you?

Betsy: I’m a shell person.

Finn: Well, you know, if you ever need any help, we’re here.

Betsy: You’re being very nice and understanding, Dr. Finn. All of you are. But I couldn’t have done any of those things.

Sam: But why not?

Betsy: I’ve been under 24-hour surveillance at the clinic, and I wasn’t released until right before I came to Port Charles. I may not be in my right mind, but even I couldn’t be in two places at one time.

Austin: So don’t take this the wrong way.

Maxie: [ Chuckles ] Okay.

Austin: But there’s something very different about you since you’re back. You seem lighter, more buoyant. I like this Maxie Jones.

Maxie: You mean the Maxie Jones who likes to keep moving forward with no regrets? The one who doesn’t hide how I feel because there’s no reason to hide anymore? There’s no way you could have known this, but this is Maxie Jones, the real Maxie Jones.

Austin: Great. Why would I be scared of that?

Maxie: I heard it takes some getting used to.

Austin: What are you doing tonight?

Curtis: Jordan and I signed those divorce papers long before she got hurt and went away. I’ve moved on. And so has she.

Portia: I don’t doubt Jordan’s intentions, Curtis. I mean, if I were in her shoes, I would say all the right things just like she did. I might even believe them. But if there was a chance, even a long shot, I would never let you go.

Stella: I’m trying my best to recall.

Cameron: You had an envelope with you with papers inside it. You said that you were going to mail it. And that’s when you had your stroke.

Cameron: Thank you, Ms. Henry.

Stella: I need a mailbox.

Cameron: Yes, on the corner to the right.

Stella: I just gotta make — oh!

Cameron: A-are you okay?

Stella: Yeah, I-I’m fine. Though, for the life of me, I can’t remember what was in that envelope. Since I haven’t gotten any calls or e-mails asking for missing documents, I suppose whatever it was couldn’t be all that important.

Cameron: That’s a relief. I-I’ve just felt horrible ever since whatever was in it got soaked.

Stella: What did you say you did with the envelope?

Cameron: Well, in the midst of all the confusion, one of the waitresses threw it out. But I-I can’t help but feel that it was all my fault.

Leisl: How do we begin? It’s no small feat to outdistance one’s past.

Anna: Especially one as contentious and complex as ours.

Leisl: Ah. I’ve got it. We can join a book club. Together, we shall steamroll local armchair bibliophiles.

Anna: Those poor people.

Leisl: We can take turns choosing the books. Then we tell them what to think and devour their homemade snacks. Whoever brings crudités forfeits their life.

Anna: I like crudités.

Leisl: Why am I not surprised? I’m more of a charcuterie lass myself.

Anna: Oh, I like that, too.

Leisl: See? Just when we thought common ground would be impossible to find.

Anna: So, this axe-throwing thing — what, are we imagining our enemies or each other as the targets? Do you see what I did there? Our enemies or each other.

Leisl: They are no longer one and the same.

Dante: Okay. Uh, yeah, thank you.

Sam: Well?

Dante: Uh, the director of the clinic says that Betsy was there from, uh, thanksgiving until she came here to Port Charles.

Finn: So obviously Betsy didn’t do anything to the ring or — or do anything to that dress.

Elizabeth: I guess you couldn’t have started that fire in Franco’s studio or taken that painting. Betsy, I am so sorry for thinking you did all those things.

Betsy: I don’t blame you. In your place, I would have suspected me, too. I should have been more open about how Bobby’s death hit me. If I could have just had a chance to say how sorry — how really sorry…

Elizabeth: Franco loved you. He knew you did your best. And if he were here right now, he would tell you you have nothing to apologize for.

Betsy: You really think so?

Elizabeth: Absolutely.

Betsy: Thank you, dear. I’m glad my son had somebody like you to love him. I should go. I have a bus to catch to get home.

Dante: Uh, we could give you a lift to the bus station.

Betsy: Thank you, Detective. I’ll call a rideshare. I’m really sorry you’re going through all this. Maybe it’s just a simple explanation.

Maxie: What do you think I’m doing tonight?

Austin: Well, I think this is the part where you say, “I’m going out with you tonight, austin.” But… I’m sensing a strong vibe that maybe that’s not what this part is.

Maxie: I’m gonna spend time with my daughter.

Austin: Okay.

Maxie: And her siblings.

Austin: Awesome. I don’t want to be somebody that comes between you and your kids. Good night, Bailey Louise. And this Maxie Jones, it’s so nice to have met you. Have a good night.

Maxie: I’ll see you tomorrow.

Austin: Okay.

Leisl: I suggest we start with something simple, perhaps a drink at the savoy. I will even leave Scott at home.

Anna: Oh, that would be best, yeah.

Leisl: It would just be the two of us.

Anna: You know, let’s not push our luck. Why don’t we just start with not plotting each other’s demise and go from there?

Leisl: Agreed. Auf wiedersehen, scarecrow. [ Chuckles ]

Anna: Until we meet again.

Leisl: Yeah?

Anna: Okay. [ Sighs ] Yes. Still got it.

Curtis: Well, we don’t want to lose out. We need to set up a tour with the broker and come in with a strong bid.

Portia: Mm. I’m ready when you are.

Curtis: Well, this is it. This next chapter is just the beginning.

Stella: Don’t give it a second thought. I made the mess, and someone did her job and cleaned it up.

Cameron: Well, I hope your experience doesn’t prevent you from coming to Kelly’s again. Oh, well, as a matter of fact, I’m on my way there right now to meet TJ and his mother. Jordan’s back in Port Charles, so we’re all getting together.

Cameron: That’s wonderful. I think I’m working there later tonight. In case I don’t see you, I’m gonna call one of the waitresses and tell her that dessert is on me.

Stella: Well, thank you. But you’ll do no such thing.

Cameron: Well, I would really like to treat you guys —

Stella: It’s a lovely gesture, but my dessert is not coming out of your paycheck. You’re gonna spend that money on your education.

Cameron: But the envelope —

Stella: Is gone. And that’s the end of that. Now, I don’t want to be late. And it was wonderful to see you, Cameron.

Cameron: It’s good to see you as well, Ms. Henry.

Finn: There’s no way she could have pulled any of this off.

Sam: None. Betsy is barely holding it together.

Dante: Sure seems like she’s suffered enough.

Elizabeth: Well, thank you both for your help.

Dante: I wish we could have helped actually find the person who’s been harassing you.

Elizabeth: Yeah, well, I’m at a complete loss.

Sam: Okay, well, if it wasn’t Betsy, then who was it?

Finn: What is it? It’s a sketch of Franco. Never seen it before. Jake drew it.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Deacon: I know that you’ve always believed that ridge is your destiny. But how much longer can you chase this? You need a guy who is not going to bail on you when things get tough and is not going to run into the arms of his ex, when they do. Look, ridge needs to grow the hell up. I mean, I’m sorry, but he needs to quit pitting you against taylor. And he needs to stop putting conditions on his love. A man who truly sees you would never do that. You need a man like me. I’m who you need in your life, brooke. Because I see you.

Steffy: You can’t let brooke get to you, mom. She’s desperate. She’s going to say anything to try to undermine you and dad.

Taylor: She’s fighting for her marriage.

[ Steffy scoffs ]

Steffy: A marriage she threw away.

[ Door clicking ]

Thomas: Hey, mom, I thought you were still at the office.

Steffy: She had a visit from brooke.

Thomas: Ah.

Taylor: As you can imagine, she’s, she’s not very happy with me.

Steffy: Let me guess. She thinks that you’re trying to seduce dad away from her.

Thomas: Oh, please, that is brooke’s playbook, not mom’S. She just can’t handle the fact that dad wants to be here with mom and our family. Not her.

Taylor: Well, she actually thinks that all of this is temporary because your father still loves her.

[ Thomas sighs ]

Hope: I realize that you told my mother that you can’t do it anymore, that despite the love that you have for her, she’s made it impossible for you. And that’s because of–

[ Sighs ] Well, because of my dad. And because she keeps defending him. But ridge, please, you have to understand, that is because of me, because she knows how much I want a relationship with my dad.

Ridge: I do understand that. What makes you think I don’t? I get it. I always got it. What makes you think I don’t?

Hope: Ridge, please. Can I just finish? I get that you and I don’t always see eye to eye, but I can see that you still love my mom and she is desperately in love with you, so let that be enough. Let that be enough for the two of you to come together again and to work through whatever it is the two of you need to work through. Just tell me that you’ll try. I don’t want this to be some impulsive decision where you just throw it all away, where you don’t even work to save what the two of you had before that awful night.

Brooke: Unlike you,

I own my mistakes.

There was a part of me that lay

dormant for a very long time,

and it resurfaced somehow,

and I still don’t know how.

And I don’t know why.

[ Sighs ]

Sheila: Oh, if you only knew the truth, brooke. But you never will.

Thomas: Don’t listen to brooke.

Steffy: Yeah, she just wants you to doubt what dad’s saying.

Thomas: Yeah, it’s killing her, knowing that dad wants to come home to you and not to her. I mean, look, we– stef and I see this. We see the kind of peace you bring to dad’s life. Alright, you’re like an oasis for him. You bring him happiness and fulfillment.

Steffy: Brooke can think that dad still loves her, but thomas is right. When dad looks at you, you can see the love in his eyes, a love he’ll only have for you.

Ridge: Hope, I appreciate what you’re trying to do.

Hope: She wasn’t herself that night.

Ridge: No, she wasn’T. She was drinking. Right? That’s the thing.

Hope: Oh, come on. I mean, don’t you have questions? I mean, even mom has questions that she doesn’t have the answer to. And I am not, I’m not excusing her behavior, but she did take accountability for what happened that night, and she is getting help so something like that will hopefully never happen again.

Ridge: And we are all very proud of her for that. Excuse me.

Hope: Ridge, you were so supportive of her then. You were going to meetings with her. You stood by her. Why can’t you stand by her now?

Ridge: Because this is not the same thing. How is it the same thing?

Hope: Okay, okay, fine. But there is one thing I know, and that is that there is no other man for my mother but you, ridge. And there will never be another man.

Deacon: Will you indulge me for a second and just think back, all those years ago, how amazing we were? We could have that again. I’m offering you a real partnership, brooke. I’m talking about giving you my total devotion, my undying loyalty. Two things you will never have to question or doubt. I’ll be the man you deserve, and I will be the man you, you can count on no matter what comes our way. Everyone remembers the moment they heard…

Thomas: So, mom, did you ever imagine this when you came back to L.A.? Having a fresh start with dad?

Steffy: Dad was in trouble, and it was because of brooke and the train wreck that she is.

Thomas: Yeah.

Steffy: He needed a way out.

Thomas: And that’s what you give him.

Steffy: Mm-hm.

Thomas: You give him a way out.

Taylor: You know, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen myself as a way out. I–

Steffy: You know what we mean.

Thomas: Yeah.

Taylor: Yes, I– I’m glad that your father feels comfortable turning to me. But right now, we’re just taking it moment to moment. The rest we’ll see.

Thomas: Well, you’re like a safe harbor for him, mom.

[ Sighs ]

Steffy: And now, it seems like he’s ready to chart his own course. I know that’s what you’ve been hoping for. Not that you need a man to have like a happy, fulfilling life, but–

Thomas: Right, but when dad is that man… you have this whole history together. You have children and grandchildren. That’s got to feel pretty perfect.

Taylor: You know what else feels perfect? Family. Family means everything to ridge and me. Our family means everything.

Steffy: We feel the same way.

Thomas: Yeah, I just hope that now things can finally settle down. You know, dad finally knows what he wants, and it’s you, and– and no one’s going to come along and get in the way of that, no matter how hard they try.

Ridge: Listen, I– I respect you for coming here and taking responsibility for your part in this nightmare.

Hope: Well, I mean it. At the end of the day, my mother loves you, ridge, and she wants to fight for your marriage, so I hope that you will give her a chance too. And sure, you, uh, may not be wearing your wedding ring right now, but I don’t believe that you could give up on brooke logan so easily. Not after all these years. And I am certain that there is a part of you deep down that knows there is a way back for the two of you. I mean, hell, if getting pushed out of a helicopter, a vegas wedding and your meddling kids hasn’t stopped you yet, then why should this? For better or for worse. You two made vows to each other, you made a commitment, and your love has overcome a lot and sure, it is being tested right now. But let it overcome this too.

Keith: Well, well, the hotel’s favorite guest.

Sheila: Hey, keith.

Keith: Your accommodation still satisfactory?

Sheila: Yeah.

Keith: Good.

Sheila: Very, very much so good.

Keith: Good. Well, I figured as much since you seem to have taken up residency here. So, where you off to?

Deacon: I’m not trying to pressure you, I know how much you’re dealing with, and I don’t want to add to that.

[ Sighs ]

Deacon: I just think that you need to take a realistic look at where you stand. Ridge has all but abandoned you for taylor.

Brooke: Deacon, please.

Deacon: I know you don’t want to believe it, but if you’re not going to be honest with yourself, brooke… come on.

Brooke: I am. I am. I am being honest with myself. Really. I understand the odds are against me. Ridge is finding comfort with taylor and his other family right now. But in time…

[ Sighs ] Look, I can understand why you’re skeptical. I get it. I know you want me to move on. But the thing is, even if I were able to do that, ridge would always have my heart. I’m sorry. I mean, we have an incredible, wonderful daughter.

Deacon: Yeah.

Brooke: And we’ll always stay connected because of her. It’s just that ridge will always be my soulmate, my destiny. I brought in ensure max protein,

Brooke: I don’t know why ridge and I are being tested again. But I know it all started that fateful night…

Deacon: That we kissed.

Brooke: The night that I drank. Lost controL. And did things I wouldn’t have done otherwise. I don’t know why I started drinking in the first place.

Deacon: I don’t know. I don’t have an answer for you. But even if I did, I would still be concerned for your commitment to ridge. That it would just lead to more heartache, especially now, because he’s moving back towards taylor. Okay, so I’ve pretty much spilled my guts here.

[ Both chuckle ] So, I think I’m gonna go, but, uh… before I do, I just, I just want to say one last thing. I just want you to know that I would do anything for you. Anything. And I will always be here for you. I’m not going anywhere.

Brooke: Thank you.

[ Sighs ] What have I done?

Ridge: How about now, is that better?

Petra: Much. Amazing how one little adjustment can make all the difference. You’re a genius.

Ridge: Oh, stop.

Steffy: And a handsome one too. Right, mom?

Taylor: That’s right.

Ridge: That’s all for now. Thank you, petra.

Petra: Thanks. Oh, by the way. Congrats to the both of you.

Ridge: Congrats?

Petra: Yeah, you and taylor. Thomas mentioned something about his parents reconnecting.

Steffy: Well, we’re hopeful.

Taylor: I will have a talk with thomas.

Ridge: Where is that kid anyway?

Taylor: He is at steffy’S. He said he had to wrap up some phone calls.

Thomas: Yeah. Three bedrooms and an infinity pool? Absolutely. I’d love to see it, uh, how about today? I’m kind of sick and tired of this whole house-hunt thing. Yeah, okay, that sounds good.

[ Door knocking ] Alright, bye. Did you forget your keys?

Sheila: Ah, I’m sure you were expecting someone else.

Thomas: Yeah. Amelia, with the kids.

Sheila: Well, I’m sorry to disappoint. Your mom’s secretary, I called and they said that she was at home, I came by to see taylor.

Thomas: No, I don’t know exactly why you want to talk to my mom, but you’re not welcome here, sheila. You should go. Now.

Nexgard is the

#1 vet-recommended

[ Sighs ]

Taylor: You okay?

Ridge: Yeah, it’s been one of those days.

Steffy: Brooke, again? Is she still pressuring you, trying to get you to come home?

Ridge: No, it’s not, brooke. Thank you, though.

Steffy: This time. But remember, she betrayed you. You didn’T. So, you shouldn’t feel guilty for saying enough is enough.

Brooke: So, you went to ridge on my behalf too?

Hope: Yes, I– I’m not sure how it went with dad. I’m sure he tried his best and I thought that I should give it a try as well.

Brooke: Well, please tell me you had better luck than deacon did.

Hope: Well, I said what I thought would get through to ridge, and I pleaded with him to find forgiveness. He still loves you, mom.

Brooke: As much as I will always love him. But…

Hope: But what?

Brooke: I don’t know. I– I, I really don’t know. I mean, yes, of course, I’m going to always fight for our marriage. But it hit me, you know? I’ve caused him all this pain and all this disappointment, and… how could I do that? How could I do that to the man that I love? How could I do that to ridge?

Hope: Mom, it was not intentional.

Brooke: I know. I know it wasn’T. But maybe I need to be brutally honest with myself. Maybe I’m not the right woman for ridge. Maybe he’d be better off with taylor.

Hope: Mom. Stop. Please, I hate seeing you talking like this.

Brooke: Honey, I– I did this. I mean, if ridge and taylor end up together, it’s because of what I did. The choices I made. I am responsible. Nobody but me.

Sheila: I’m not welcome here?

Thomas: Absolutely not. My family’s been separated for years, in large part because of what you did. You shot our mother, sheila. Which pushed her away and, and made my dad lean on brooke. So actually, none of this would have happened if it weren’t for you.

Sheila: I did a terrible thing. I’ve done a lot of terrible things. But I’m changing, thomas, I swear I am not that person any longer.

Thomas: According to you.

Sheila: According to your mother as well. Okay, all right. That– that might be pushing it a bit, but she, she really is trying to give me a cha– a chance. Can’t you please do the same?

Thomas: No. No, steffy and I are finally getting our family back together. My mother and my father suffered for long enough because of what you did. And they are finally, finally, having a chance at happiness. So, no, I don’t think I’m going to let you come back into our lives and mess with anything. In fact, you should get out of our lives forever.

Sheila: Get out of your lives? This is because of me. The demise of– of ridge and brooke and your mom and dad’s reunion. I am the one responsible for that. You should be welcoming me here with open arms right now, not banning me from the family. You should be thanking me profusely for what I’ve done. After all these years, your mother finally has a chance with ridge because of me, thomas. Me.

Nick: I don’t want victoria to get hurt anymore than you do, but what ashland has done is unforgivable and he must be dealt with now.

Adam: I agree with you. But I also agree with dad that we cannot afford to make any wrong moves or do anything reckless. We have to handle this smart.

Victor: Boys…I’ve got this. Leave it to me.

Nick: If you think you can take care of ashland discreetly, you are kidding yourself. There is no way to handle it without it blowing up in victoria’s face.

Victor: I will minimize damage to her as much as possible.

Nick: How are you gonna do that?

Victor: By dealing with that bastard one-on-one.

Nick: If you’re not gonna tell us what’s going on, why are we here?

Victor: You know exactly what that man has done to victoria, your sister. Who knows what else he has up his sleeve?

Nikki: I thought you were going to go meet with your father.

Victoria: Well, I don’t have to go right this instant, do I?

Nikki: Installing ashland as your co-ceo is a big deal. Even if you think it’s the right thing to do, victor needs to know about it as soon as possible.

[ Knock on door ]

Ashland: Hey, darling, I was wondering if I could get your opinion — oh.

Nikki: Hello, ashland.

Ashland: Hello, nikki. Everything okay?

Nikki: Yeah, yeah, I’m just having a conversation with my daughter.

Ashland: Oh, I’m interrupting. I’m sorry.

Victoria: No, you’re not interrupting at all. No. I don’t keep things from my husband, mother. We’re partners in every way. Apparently, my mom’s concerned about how my dad is gonna take the news of your new title.

Ashland: Ah. I’m hoping he will be supportive.

Nikki: I’m sure that you are.

Ashland: But you have your doubts.

Nikki: It’s a big change. This company will always be victor’s legacy, and it means a great deal to him that it’s being run by his eldest child.

Ashland: And it still will be. Changing my title will in no way diminish victoria’s position.

Victoria: I don’t need his permission. Telling him is just — it’s a courtesy, it’s a formality. But mom’s right, we should probably just get it over with.

Ashland: I agree. We should tell victor as soon as possible, but — but unfortunately, we have a meeting in just a few minutes with the marketing staff, so…

Victoria: Oh, that’s right. I forgot.

Nikki: I can cover the marketing meeting.

Victoria: Oh, thank you, mom. You know what? I would feel better once we deliver the news.

Ashland: Fantastic. Oh, and since nikki is taking over the meeting, that frees up my time so we can go meet with victor together. And together, we can present a truly united front.

Sharon: Would you like another croissant?

Rey: No, thank you. I have to stay in decent shape if I plan to hold on to my gorgeous wife.

Sharon: Well, you look damn good from here.

Rey: [ Laughs ]

Sharon: Well, let me know if you want anything else, ’cause i want to take care of my handsome husband.

Rey: Mm. You looking for someone?

Sharon: What? No. Who would I be looking for?

Rey: Mariah and tessa. You’re just dying for them to come downstairs so you can pounce them with those bridal magazines.

Sharon: What, these?

Rey: Uh-huh.

Sharon: Who put them there?

Rey: Yeah.

Sharon: I think “pounce” is a strong word.

Rey: Mm. Accost? Barrage?

Sharon: Look, it’s getting closer and closer to their wedding date, and a lot of big decisions still need to be made. If they don’t make up their minds soon about the ceremony and the reception and all the little details that go into it, I’m worried this wedding might not happen.

Mariah: What? How did you figure out what was wrong? It already happened? Uh…okay, is there anything I can do? Should I — should I come over? Yeah. No, no, I understand. It’s okay. Um… I’ll talk to you later. Yeah, alright, bye.

Tessa: What’s wrong?

Mariah: Apparently nothing, not now. But dominic had to get a bone marrow transfusion.

Tessa: Oh, my god. Do you know — do you know what’s wrong with him?

Mariah: He had some sort of blood disease.

Tessa: Is he gonna be okay?

Mariah: Yeah, he’s doing great, and they think he’s gonna make a full recovery.

Tessa: Oh, well, that’s a relief.

Mariah: Yeah, the doctors tested abby and devon, and devon was a perfect match.

Tessa: Wow. So first he takes on an expanded role in the little boy’s life, and now he’s helping him heal. I mean, I know it’s just a matter of biology, but seems like a sign to me.

Mariah: I am really happy that he could be there for him.

Tessa: Um, you don’t sound too happy about that.

Mariah: No, I — of course I’m — I’m thrilled that dominic is gonna be okay. But I just can’t understand why they wouldn’t tell me what was going on. I know that I’ve taken a step back, but I’m still his godmother. Why wouldn’t they tell me about something so important?

Nick: Alright, as much as i want to hurt this guy, I agree with you. We got to be smart about how we retaliate. So what’s the plan, dad? I want to know what it is and what’s involved.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Victor: It’s victoria.

Nick: What are you gonna say to her?

Victor: Hi, sweetheart, I’m so glad you called. (Jackie) I’ve made progress with my mental health.

Additional sponsorship provided by…

Rey: Don’t you worry, mariah and tessa’s wedding’s gonna come together because it’s meant to be. Everything’s gonna come together — all the little details. And don’t forget, there’s always a little magic involved with these things, huh?

Sharon: You know, you’re right. I’m trying not to be that person who checks in every second, but I just — I want to help them if I can.

Rey: I know, I know, and I’m sure mariah knows, too.

Sharon: Yeah, she does, and i know that she will come to me and ask for help if she wants it, and I’m definitely respecting that.

Rey: Oh. You know, I love that you’re so psyched about planning your daughter’s wedding. But I also love that you understand that mariah and tessa need to choose whatever kind of wedding feels right to them, not the rest of the world, no matter how quirky or off-beat or deep underwater it may seem.

Mariah: I just can’t help but being bothered by abby and devon choosing not to tell me about dominic’s illness until after the fact.

Tessa: I assume that they have an explanation for that.

Mariah: Yeah, I mean, abby said that she didn’t even tell the family, ’cause she didn’t want to worry people unnecessarily.

Tessa: I can understand that. And everything turned out okay. That’s the most important part, right?

Mariah: Of course. I’m ecstatic that dominic is alright. And it’s true, I mean, i would’ve freaked out and been worried senseless, so I guess they spared me that.

Tessa: Hey, of course. But we’re gonna go visit him the second that we can. And I’m sure one big healthy, happy smile from him will cheer us both up.

Mariah: You’re right. I can’t wait to see that grin.

[ Chuckles ]

Tessa: Oh, me too. I do have something that might take your mind off the little guy. I really took noah’s suggestion to heart during our last brain-storming session about the wedding, and I think that we should try and combine our top three ideas and make our own hybrid version of our perfect wedding day.

Victoria: Hi, dad. I’m calling because there’s something that ashland and i need to speak with you about as soon as possible.

Victor: Well, now, as luck would have it, my darling, I’m at newman media in adam’s office. Why don’t you come over?

Victoria: I’ll see you in a few minutes.

Victor: Okay.

Adam: What’s your next move? Since apparently this is happening right here and now.

Nick: You know what, dad? Just call me when you need me.

Victoria: Dad’s in adam’s office, and he can see us now.

Ashland: Fantastic. Let’s go meet with victor.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh. Hang on. Uh…

Nikki: Something wrong?

Victor: So there isn’t much time left, son. Nicholas is gone. Would you support me?

I may have moderate to

severe rheumatoid arthritis.

Ashland: No, no, nothing’s wrong at all, nikki. It was — it’s a small personnel issue. It doesn’t at all rise to the level of — of what we’re about to do, so…

Nikki: Ah. I must have misread the expression on your face when you read that text.

Ashland: Really? Oh, it was just a — it was a former locke communications group executive that we had to let go because of the merger. He wants to have, you know, “a call,” and, uh… well, you know, now that I think about it, he probably deserves one. Why don’t you go on ahead, and I’ll catch up with you?

Victoria: Sure, I’ll see you soon.

Ashland: Okay.

Rey: You know, as much as I’m looking forward to mariah and tessa’s big day, however crazy it may be, nothing will surpass the day we got married.

Sharon: Aww, our wedding was amazing.

Rey: Mm-hmm.

Sharon: And you’re right, it came together with a little bit of magic.

Rey: Yeah. You know what I remember most? Staring into those big, beautiful blue eyes.

Sharon: You know, everything kind of faded away during the ceremony, but the reception was fun.

Rey: It’s true. There were some great toasts. We’re gonna have to reciprocate for mariah’S.

Sharon: Yes.

Rey: And we cannot forget the best man.

Nick: What?

Rey: Well, we were talking about wedding toasts with mariah and tessa’s wedding coming up.

Nick: Oh, yeah, right.

Sharon: Is something wrong? What happened?

Nick: [ Sighs ] I don’t want to talk about it.

Rey: You know, I — yeah, i got to check in with the station.

Sharon: You seem angry. What’s going on?

Nick: I don’t know what’s best, you know, talking about it or just bottling it up inside.

Sharon: Nick, you can talk to me. You know you can trust me with anything.

Nick: Alright, it’s ashland. He has done something so despicable this time — I mean, the worst thing of his life, and considering who he is and what he’s done, that’s saying a lot. But this time, it could destroy victoria, and I don’t know how to help her.

Victoria: I have some news, dad. Adam.

Victor: Ashland. I’m done playing games with you. Okay? It ends now.

Ashland: Uh…what ends now?

Victor: The charade is over.

Nick: So dad had michael go down to peru and check out that clinic where ashland received his miracle cure.

Sharon: Look, I know you’ve never been a fan of locke, but what was so suspicious about him previously making those donations to that facility?

Nick: You always want to believe the best in everyone, but this time dad’s instincts were right. Michael went down there and got a couple of the doctors who worked there at the clinic to go on record saying that ashland bribed them to make it seem like he was really suffering from his cancer and that the treatment they gave him sent him into remission. But in reality, he was never sick at all.

Sharon: Ashland faked his cancer? I can’t even wrap my head around that.

Nick: And vick has no idea that she’s being lied to about this seriously huge thing. And, I mean, ashland just used her to get his hands on the company.

Sharon: Wow, I don’t know what to say.

Nick: Don’t say anything, sharon, alright? This has to stay between us. I came to you because I needed somebody to talk to about it.

Sharon: Of course, I’m not gonna tell anyone about this. Why haven’t you told victoria? Don’t you think this is something she should know, like, right now?

Nick: Because dad said he’s got some plan, some way to deal with this where victoria suffers the least amount possible.

Sharon: Well, I’m sure he has her best interests at heart, but to keep something like this from her, something this big? That’s risky.

Nick: The last time I went to her and told her about all the horrible things that ashland has done, she was okay with it. Why would this time be any different?

Sharon: I don’t think you’re giving your sister enough credit. If what you’re saying is true, what ashland did is disgusting. It’s unforgivable. He has destroyed every ounce of trust that victoria had in him, and as a cancer survivor, I am appalled that he would use that as a selfish ploy. There’s no way in hell that victoria will be alright with that.

Adam: Really great to see you, sis. You seem like you’re in a good mood today. So to what do I owe this pleasure?

Victoria: Where did dad go? What is he doing?

Adam: I don’t know. Could be any number of things. But he said he’d be right back.

Victoria: I don’t understand why he would just leave when i said I had something important to discuss with him.

Adam: Well, hey, maybe you could bounce your ideas off of me first.

Victoria: No, thank you.

Adam: Why not? Now that I’m working with you —

Victoria: You work for me.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Yes. You are my boss, and that’s the point. We are on the same team, and i want the company — our company — to succeed, and i would be happy to give you my insights.

Victoria: This is too high level for you to weigh in on, so just have dad call me when he gets back.

Adam: Hey, hey, as long as you’re here, I’d love to get some thoughts on some potential areas of expansion for newman media.

Ashland: Locking the door is a little dramatic, don’t you think, victor? I mean, I’m not exactly sure what’s happening right now. What exactly is the charade you’re accusing me of perpetrating?

Victor: Ashland. You don’t have cancer. You never did.

Ashland: I’m sorry, is this some kind of a joke? No? Okay, uh, well, talk to my doctors, and they will tell you my cancer is real.

Victor: The doctors you paid off? Or the ones that you supplied with falsified medical records?

Ashland: That’s a hell of an accusation. Why would I even attempt such a thing? I mean, what would be the goal?

Victor: Power. Control. You have dreamt of combining or merging newman enterprises with locke communications to create a behemoth of a company that you would preside over, rule.

Ashland: Okay, that’s crazy.

Victor: Uh-huh.

Ashland: Uh…besides, victoria is the one who’s been driving the merger.

Victor: You put the idea of the merger in her head. It worked. Because she thought you only had a few months left to live. You managed to make her feel sorry for you. A man just about to die of cancer, my goodness. Who wouldn’t be moved by that? You played that game masterfully. But now it’s over. I just heard something amazing!

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Mariah: I’m not sure what combining our top three ideas would even look like.

Tessa: Okay, well, I’m thinking that it would involve art, music, and perhaps costumes.

Mariah: Alright, where are we gonna do it?

Tessa: Okay, well, a destination wedding is seeming too complicated, so let’s keep it local, and we’ll surround ourselves with art that we love from chicago museums and then we’ll get one of our favorite bands to play.

Mariah: Okay, what about the murder mystery them? ‘Cause we talked about that before.

Tessa: It seems a little dark for a celebration.

Mariah: Okay. But, you know, we got to have something that sets this apart from a typical ceremony. I mean, everybody has music and decorations.

Tessa: Maybe we pick a time period from our favorite mystery and dress in that style. Like — ooh, ooh, like london in the ’60s. It’ll be mod influenced. Oh, you hate it.

Mariah: No, no.

Tessa: Mm, you think it’s too complicated.

Mariah: [ Stammers ] That’s not exactly what I think.

Tessa: Okay, so — so what are you thinking?

Mariah: I’m thinking that we don’t quite have it yet. But I know that eventually it’s just gonna come to us, and then we are going to have the best wedding ever.

Tessa: [ Sighs ]

Nick: Believe me, I’m as bothered by this as you are.

Sharon: Noah. You look like you just rolled out of bed and in the coffee house.

Noah: Do I?

Nick: Late night?

Sharon: Oh, I can answer that because I heard him roll in just after dawn. I mean, I’m really glad that i realized you had started staying at our house again after that stint at your dad’s or I might have thought we had a prowler.

Noah: That would have been bad. Yeah. Sorry, I promise I was trying my best to be quiet.

Sharon: No, you were! Until you knocked over that lamp.

Noah: Okay, I see where this is going, and to answer your question, no, I was not drinking. I’m just clumsy. I was catching up with some girl I met back in high school, and i lost track of time.

Sharon: Oh, was this a romantic kind of evening?

Nick: Whoa, whoa. You don’t have to talk about that. That is none of our business.

Noah: She’s just a friend, but I got to admit, it was nice staying up all night talking, blowing off some steam.

Nick: And you are a grown man. You can stay out as late as you want.

Sharon: Indeed.

Noah: Okay, good to know. Thank you.

Nick: I do, however, prefer a well-rested employee.

Noah: [ Sighs ] You see, this is the problem with working for your dad and living with your mom.

Nick: I didn’t say it was an issue.

Sharon: And we love having you stay at the house.

Noah: Alright, guys, i promise I’m on top of everything over at new hope, and I will get a good night’s sleep tonight. Okay? Now, please, stop worrying about me so much, really. Come on.

Ashland: Victor, think about what you’re saying. It doesn’t — it’s not rational. It’s nothing more than an outrageous conjecture. Now, first of all, you know how publicly humiliated I was when my illness was splattered all over the press.

Victor: Hmm. You probably leaked that story yourself, didn’t you?

Ashland: And what about harrison? Are you suggesting I purposely walked away from him, that I — that I told him I was dying when I wasn’t? Why would I do that to my own son?

Victor: Turns out he isn’t even your son.

Ashland: You have crossed over a line right there.

[ Chuckles ] I mean, your daughter told me you could be cold and cruel.

Victor: I can be very cold and very cruel. Stop the bull. I know what you’ve done.

Ashland: Okay. What have I done?

Victor: I have evidence that you paid off the doctors at that clinic in peru, where they have this miraculous cure for cancer. You paid them off to falsify your records. Now, I have people in peru right now gathering more information about your shenanigans down there. You’re done.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] Victor, I have enemies all over the world, and you know something? So do you. Now, whoever’s feeding you these lies clearly has a score to settle with me. Doesn’t this feel like a set-up? Hmm?

Victor: You stop your nonsense. What you’ve done to my company, what you’ve done to my family, what you have done to my daughter, my wife, and my grandchildren. No one uses my family as a pawn in their dreadful game. You got that? Now, you listen to me carefully. Under no circumstances will you let my daughter victoria feel that she was subject and victim of a hoax, a cruel hoax. I’d rather have her heart broken than her spirit broken by the likes of you. And I will tell you what you’re gonna do.

Adam: Well, after we get through the initial necessary streamlining due to the merger, we’re gonna obviously focus on growth and ways to expand the content and…monetize it.

Victoria: That’s called business, adam, and I really don’t have time to sit here and listen to the specifics.

Adam: Okay. Well, let me run another idea by you about the news division. You know, if we were to incorporate all those brands under our roof, we’d have something for every demographic, and I think that —

Victoria: You know, that’s over-ambitious and unfocused. Why don’t you run your ideas by your brilliant new coo, or is sally too busy designing a business suit so that she can look the part?

Adam: Sally is more than capable of designing her own wardrobe. She is busy working on the budget at the moment.

Victoria: Can’t wait to crunch those numbers.

Adam: Victoria, why don’t you just calm down the condescension for a bit, okay? I know that you met with sally and she had some pretty impressive ideas that not even you could shoot down.

Victoria: Oh, really? Is that how she characterized our run-in? I mean, I did point out to her that she is very, very confident in herself. But maybe that’s because apparently she’s sleeping with the boss.

Adam: That’s a low blow, even for you.

Victoria: Oh, but it’s true, right?

Adam: I’m not gonna dignify that with a response. But need I remind you that you share your sheets with your chief advisor.

Victoria: Ashland and I are married. And ashland is much more than an advisor, as you will soon find out.

Adam: What does that mean?

Victoria: Let’s get a few things straight, shall we? You need to give ashland the respect that he has earned.

Adam: Is that so?

Victoria: And I’m really not gonna put up with you running off to daddy every time you get your feelings hurt. I don’t know, maybe you have delusion that you’re gonna run the entire company again, but if that’s what’s going on here, i would get rid of that pipe dream if I were you, because ashland and I, we’re running the show.

Adam: You sound awfully confident in yourself.

Victoria: That’s because i am. What ashland and I have is very special.

Adam: Ah.

Victoria: Yeah.

Adam: Yeah. That’s one word for it. Goal!

Mariah: Now, I do think i want our wedding to be interactive in some way. Like, maybe we can give people, uh…a role or, like, a job or something. Or do you think that people would not be able to relax and enjoy themselves? But, like, I don’t know, maybe it would make them appreciate the day more and… what? What is it?

Tessa: I think you should stop talking.

Mariah: You think that I’m way overthinking this.

Tessa: Only in a way that makes me love you more.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ] We just have to trust that whatever we do, it’s gonna be spectacular.

Tessa: Because it will be.

Mariah: How can you be so sure?

Tessa: I remember all of our false starts, all the times we got in our own way. I take most of the blame for that, by the way.

Mariah: No, you shouldn’T. I was responsible for some of our breakups.

[ Chuckles ]

Tessa: But we always found our way back because I believe that we’re destined to be together, but I also know how hard we fought to be with one another. So I’m just grateful that we got to this point. We are lucky. Beyond lucky. So, as much as I want our wedding day to honor our guests, I really want it to just be about how much we love each other.

Mariah: I agree with you 100%. And I feel like you accidentally just wrote a song without even realizing it. I want to remember everything that you just said forever. And I think you might’ve stumbled onto a title without knowing it. “Beyond lucky.”

Tessa: Hmm.

Sharon: We will try to stop worrying about you, but, as parents, that’s a pretty hard habit to break.

Nick: It’s nearly impossible, but we’re gonna work on it.

Noah: Alright, well, that’s all I can ask for. You know, now that I think about it, though, you two looked pretty intense when I first walked in here. Maybe I should be worried about you.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Um…no, I was just, you know, telling your mother about some of the aggravations that come with being a newman. I’m sure you can understand that.

Noah: It definitely has its pros and cons. Is there I should know about or —

Nick: No, it’s nothing that you need to concern yourself with.

Noah: Alright. Is it cool if I grab a cup of coffee?

Sharon: Sure, go ahead.

Noah: Oh, and don’t worry, I’ll be very, very careful not to spill on myself, so…

Nick: [ Scoffs ]

Sharon: I guess we have been a little fixated on noah’s state of mind lately.

Nick: Yeah. We don’t need to be. He’s in a good place.

Sharon: I’m actually more worried about you right now. I know that you won’t sit back and do nothing if victoria needs your help.

Nick: Am I that predictable?

Sharon: In a good way. I can tell you’re itching to do something.

Nick: Yeah, I got to do something. And I’m gonna do it right now.

Victor: Your cancer will suddenly reappear. You’ll have a relapse, necessitating you to go down to south america, to peru. And you go alone, without victoria. And when I deem the time is right, you will call my daughter and you will tell her that you want a divorce. No long legal wrangling, no court scenes. Nothing. Clean divorce. No explanation, no argument. That’s what you will do. And then you will revert control of newman/locke back to my daughter as part of the settlement. And then, my friend, you will disappear from my daughter’s life forever.

Ashland: [ Sighs ] Why…would I ever…walk away from the woman I love?

Victoria: Why are you looking at me like a smug jerk?

Adam: It’s my resting face. But I am sincerely curious — what is it about your relationship with ashland that works so well? You know, what’s the secret? Please share your wisdom.

Victoria: I would love to. But I have much better things to do with my time, and since it doesn’t seem dad is coming back here any time soon, I have work to do.

Adam: Actually, there was one more thing that I wanted to talk with you about.

Victoria: Adam, I’ve given you enough of my time for the day.

Adam: You do realize that we’re gonna have to communicate on a regular basis in our current positions, right?

Victoria: Well, we’ll see about that. I have given you a fair amount of autonomy at newman media, at least for now. So let’s see what you can do, you know? Show me what you got, run with it. Put those nay-sayers to rest. And let’s see if, left to your own devices, you’ll succeed, or maybe you’re gonna fail.

Adam: Well, it’s the former, and I am more than happy to prove it to you.

[ Cellphone rings ] Hold on. It’s sally. She can wait.

Victoria: No, please, don’t blow off your invaluable second-in-command on my behalf. Maybe you can share the rest of your brilliant ideas with her.

Adam: But we’re not done here, victoria.

Victoria: Yes, we are. Your dry skin story changes

Rey: Hey. Sorry, I had to run to the station. What’d I miss?

Nick: Oh, just my parents freaking out ’cause I got home late last night. Apparently, they are not used to me having a social life anymore.

Mariah: Alright, everyone, gather around, because we have an announcement.

Sharon: They have an

announcement we’re all here.

Rey: Especially your mom.

Sharon: Oh.

Mariah: Okay, so we have thought about this long and hard. We’ve come at it from every angle.

Tessa: Explored every option and then some.

Mariah: And we really appreciate your guys’ suggestions because they helped a lot, and we realized the specific ways that we love each other and how we want to express that.

Tessa: So this is an announcement that an announcement about our wedding is impending.

Rey: Oh, so this is like the save-the-date thing that comes before the actual invitation, expect it’s about your wedding theme, right?

Mariah: Well, sounds less impressive when you put it like that, but sure.

Sharon: Can I start acting like I’m the mother of the bride now?

Mariah: Yes, yes, you can. And we need your input and expertise.

Rey: Well, I pitch in in whatever way I can. You know, maybe you need some security in case one of tessa’s fans decides to crash the wedding.

[ Laughter ]

Noah: And if you need any artwork or design, I got it covered.

Mariah: Thank you guys so much for your love and for your support.

Tessa: It means the world to us.

Sharon: We’re just so happy for you.

Noah: We all want this to be perfect. A day you’ll never forget.

Tessa: [ Chuckles ]

Adam: I wasn’t expecting to see you back here today.

Nick: I changed my mind about wanting to be involved. What’s going down with ashland and victoria?

Adam: Honestly, I don’t have much to share. Dad had me keep victoria busy while he confronted locke. So I did my best, but she got fed up with me pretty quick, threw a bunch of insults my way. It was pretty hard to bite my tongue when it would’ve been easy to throw her husband’s lies in her face.

Nick: But you didn’t do that. You respected dad’s wishes.

Adam: I restrained myself.

Nick: Where are dad and victoria now?

Adam: I’m not sure. But I think a collision course is inevitable. In fact, the fireworks you mentioned might be detonating right now.

Victor: Don’t insult my intelligence, okay? There’s no genuine love in this relationship. Certainly not on your part. You’ve used my daughter as a pawn, as a means to an end.

Ashland: You’re wrong.

Victor: Really?

Ashland: I love victoria more than I have ever loved anyone in my entire life. And she loves me. Now, if I were to fly to peru, if I were to file for divorce out of nowhere, what do you think she would do? Victor, what do you think the powerful, strong-willed daughter you raised would do? You think she would just sit back and accept it? That’s not going to happen.

Victoria: Ashland?

[ Knock on door ] Are you in there?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 

wow. That was, uh, special. Hey. Sorry, that was the nicest word I could think of. Really? [ Laughs ] Well, um, this isn’t easy, you know? Yeah. Here, why don’t you give it a try? I don’t know. I don’t want to show you up or anything. Oh, now you’re sounding like an egomaniac. No, come on. Here you go. Keep it down. Okay. Go on and give it a whirl. What do I do? Just throw it at this here target right here? Yeah. But hold on a minute. What? Come back. What? Where? You’re up too far. Well, tell me where to stand. Okay, now we’re on equal playing ground. And put your left foot out. Left foot. Okay. Yeah. Will you stand back, yeah? Oh, of course. I-I don’t trust myself with this thing. All right, here goes nothing.

[ Laughs ] Boom! Of course. Hey, I don’t want you to worry about this, all right? Dante’s gonna figure out how that got here, and I’ll be here in case anything else weird happens. I just don’t understand why. Am I in danger? Are my kids not safe? Like, what’s the end game here? Holden from next door said the police were here earlier. What’s going on? Drew! Hi! Drew: Hi! Do you mind if I join you? Mind? I should be so lucky. Please. Thank you. Have a seat. I’m grabbing some dinner for curtis, and they said it’s gonna be a minute. Ah. You’re not expecting anyone, are you? No. No, no, no. I just, uh — I just finished a meeting. Oh, yeah? Was it business or personal? It was a little bit of both, actually. Business on behalf of a friend. Excellent. I’ll send that paperwork over today. Oh, one more thing. Tell the band that I’m excited to have them perform. Marshall? I’m just doing a little business while I waited. So, why’d you want to meet? Because I know what you did. You are just the cutest baby that ever lived. You know that? Do you know that?

[ Buzzes lips ] Who is that? Baby louise? Enough with the softball questions, felicia. You got to hit her with some hard ones. Like what? Like fdpc or pcpd? Oh, boy. Duh. Pcpd all the way. That’s right. Aww. Have you ever seen a more perfect picture than this? Aww, it’s beautiful. Maxie: Bailey definitely. But I barely had time to brush my hair this morning. You are absolutely glowing, and it’s all because of you. Well, that’s because you get to go home today. I’m gonna let you, uh, visit with anna. Okay. Okay. Oh, I need to go pick up your prescription at the pharmacy. I’ll be right back. Okay. Okay. Thank you. See you in a bit. Okay. So talk to me. Will the wsb be able to get any information out of our compromised agent krieger? It’s doubtful. He’s dead. Laura: Oh, maxie. Oh, there’s the precious baby girl that so many people worked so hard to protect. Hi. Yeah, talk about guardian angels. My heart is so full of gratitude it could burst. How about forgiveness? Is there room in your heart for that?

guess we just chalk that up to, uh, beginner’s luck.

[ Laughs ] Beginner’s luck? My you know what. I love your you know what. I think you’ve done this before. What? I’ve never thrown an axe before. Liar. I cross my heart. I’ll swear on anything you want me to swear on. I’ve never thrown a hatchet a day in my life. Liar! Why don’t we just chalk it up to, uh, beginner’s luck

and my superior hand-eye coordination? Or maybe… huh? …You know how some people think that they had a past life, and you can bring those skills to this life from your past life? What? I think maybe you were a frontier guy, a mountain man. I mean, I-I certainly wasn’t either of those. Well, that’s good ’cause I don’t want to picture you as a mountain man. How was your day? Yeah, it was good. Just work. A lot of work. Anything interesting? Uh, more like strange. I th ink elizabeth baldwinhas a stalker. Jake. Mom, why were the police here? Because when mom and i came home… we found this on the mantel. That’s franco’S. I thought you said they were all destroyed. That’s what I was told. Jake, did you see anyone around the house when you left yesterday? I don’t think so. No? How about, um, maybe something unusual, a car you didn’t recognize or… what about betsy frank? Has she been in contact with you? No, no. Why are you asking me this stuff? Because someone broke in and placed that here. Do you know anyone that would do this? I never intended for louise to be in danger. Actually, it’s bailey louise now. Is it really? Mm-hmm. Oh, I love that. That’s beautiful. Hey. Hi, bailey louise. I’m austin. We met when you first arrived. Maxie, I’m sorry. I didn’t know that victor was helping peter. You know, I, um, asked you to stay out of brook lynn’s business multiple times. Yeah, no, I didn’t know what was going on, and — and that’s [Sighs] That’s no excuse. There is no excuse. I did a dumb thing. My stupid vendetta could have cost you everything. If you can’t move past it, I get it. Laura: Well, I guess I’ll give you two a little bit of privacy. By the way, thank you for giving me the information about victor. A lot of good it did.

[ Chuckles ] Jury’s still out. See you later. What was that? What do you have on victor? So you’re telling methere’s nothing to clue us in as to who could have sent agent krieger to kill peter. I think it’s significant. Krieger’s death. You know, he was hit, yes, and it was serious, but nobody thought it was fatal. The prognosis was that he was going to recover, and then he up and dies here in the hospital? Convenient for somebody.

[ Knock on door ] Very. How’s the patient? Are you ready to get out of here? The sooner, the better. There’s a loose end from europe. Yeah, I was just explaining that a bureau agent who went after peter, he ended up being in an exchange of gunfire with my team. And he got hit, and he just died before he could be interrogated. Oh. He had a phone on him, though. Anything there? I mean, no. Most of the data was just related to navigation. There was one phone number that piqued my interest. Belonging to? It was a burner, unfortunately. But the area code was local. Local to here you mean? Yes. So whoever this agent was communicating with was likely here in port charles. Is anybody thinking who I’m thinking? Look, anna, can you hand me my clothes? I’m not waiting for the nurses anymore. I-I got to get down to the precinct. I-I don’t know that that’s — oh, no, you don’T. If you think you’re going anywhere other than home, you have to answer to me first. I just got a job offer from your boy drew. Did you? Mm-hmm. What kind of job? Oh, a jazz consultant/concierge for aurora. But you knew that already, didn’t you? Didn’t you?

[ Clears throat ]

[ Chuckles ] Despite the subterfuge, I appreciate you sending work my way. But why couldn’t you just be honest? Like you’ve been with me? Oh, oh, so wait, wait, wait. This is payback? No. This is an opportunity. One that I knew you would have turned down if you knew I had a hand in it because — because you’re stubborn and you’re prideful. Traits I passed down to my son. Fair enough. But I know that you operate on a need to know basis, so you can’t be mad when someone does the same thing. Well, yes, but it’s a moot point anyway. The job requires this extensive background check. And that’s a problem? It could be. Could be. I have this incident from back in the day that concerns me. Uh, you are not going to ask me what kind of incident? No, I’ll wait for you to tell me. Ah. Or not. That’s progress. If I accept this offer, drew might discover that I have a criminal history.

Look, I have no idea what’s going on right now. Um, mom’s a little bit weirded out with this whole portrait thing, but, um… she’s also relieved that peter august is toast. Wait, what? Mom didn’t tell you? Tell me what? I don’t want you giving jake the third degree. Third degree? I just asked if he noticed anything. Well, it kind of felt like you were insinuating that he had something to do with the portrait. No, I’m not suggesting that. Elizabeth, do you really think I’m accusing your sons? Or are you actually worried that they could be involved? It is so creepy to have a portrait in your house knowing that someone had been there and then the ring and the dress. Ugh. Yeah, elizabeth is pretty shaken up. Well, what are you thinking? Honestly, it sounds like it could be a jealous lover. Do you think franco was cheating? No. I don’t know. I mean, you can’t rule anything out, can you? Right. I mean, I-I honestly barely knew the guy. I didn’t pay him much attention at all. So w-what’s your take? Y-you think I paid attention to franco? No, I don’t know, but I mean, you were friends with elizabeth or you’ve gotten closer. So maybe you know about some trouble in paradise. I don’t know. In my opinion, the only thing I saw was franco was devoted to elizabeth, elizabeth was devoted to him. Their kids loved him. He loved the kids. They were one big, happy family. Right. So I guess I better look through franco’s cellphone records, see if there’s anyone he was in consistent communication with. Did you float this by elizabeth? Not yet. Well, does she have any idea? Ideas? She’s — she’s convinced. Okay, well, who does she think’s responsible? Betsy frank. I am really glad that you’re back. Oh. Which I know is a strange thing coming from me, considering we’re not close.

[ Chuckles ] But I can see how much you mean to curtis. And I-it’s just so sweet, the friendship that you two share. Yeah, I am… I am very thankful for it, I really am. Especially considering I’ve now lost both my brothers. I’m so sorry. Yeah, thanks. You know, when you think about it, you and curtis have gone through so much change recently. I mean, you — I could write a book about that. Yeah, please don’T. No.

[ Both laugh ] But curtis, too. Yeah. Just this past year, his — his aunt’s health issues, a divorce, a change of careers. And a father reappearing after four decades. You have a criminal history that drew may discover. My arrest record was sealed. Sealed records don’t usually show up in standard background checks. But it exists, which means they can resurface. Oh, man. 40 years ago. I got locked up briefly, nonviolent offense, but it was the inciting incident that precipitated my disappearance. The reason you went into hiding. Yeah, for lack of a better term, yes. God, curtis, I wish… I-I wish I could forget it ever happened. But it did, and it severely impacted my life. Look, I told — I told drew I-I can’t move forward with it anyway, so forget about it. Did you even want the job? Yeah, I do. I do. But I wanted you to hear about it from me, not your friend. Well, I appreciate that. I hope that means you trust me. Of course I do. Curtis, my holding back is not for a lack of trust. In fact — in fact, telling you is a relief. In that case, why hold back at all? Do you hear me, mac scorpio? I think the whole hospital heard you. Your choice is here or home. Work is not an option. There’s a situation, felicia. Well, there’s going to be a situation if you do anything other than try to get better. Do I have you two to thank for this? No. Us? Are you trying to encourage my husband to prematurely return to work? I was just briefing him. Turncoat. I came to check on him. Mac, you are indispensable. See? But I too am concerned about his health, so I’m gonna see about a temporary replacement. Jordan: No need for a temp. Mac’s done a great job as acting commissioner, but I’m back and reporting for duty. Jordan! Jordan!

thank you for coming in here to talk to me. When it comes to people like victor cassadine, the walls have ears. Okay, what was laura saying about you getting information on victor? Oh, it wasn’t enough. I mean, he destroyed the bug before we could hear anything valuable. Whoa, hold on. You planted a bug on victor cassadine? Well, technically liesl did. But, yeah, I mean, I set the stage. You look confused. Are you confused? You and my former mother-in-law concocted a plan to trap victor? So you’re not confused. How did that — I mean, what were y– why? Well, the answer to that is twofold. Um, first off, liesl didn’t really give me choice. And the second part?

[ Sighs ] I really wanted to make it up to you. It was entirely my fault that victor found out about louise. Sorry, bailey louise. And I just needed to know what his game was. But you didn’t find anything. The bug bit the dust before we heard anything. I mean, all we really heard was victor talking to drew cain about memory suppression and tarot cards. Is that important? I don’t know. The mayor seemed to think so. -How are you feeling? -How did you get here? I would have sent you a squad car. Oh, we could have done better than a squad car. I left yesterday. I took a car service, and I feel great. You look great. Being at the clinic for so long had its challenges, but I can’t argue with the level of care. So you’re back for good now? And apparently need to get caught up. Let’s step outside. It’s really good to see you’ve recovered. Now it’s your turn.

[ All chuckle ] Come on, let’s go. The discharge nurse gave me the papers. You ready to go home? Oh, I was born ready. To leave a hospital? Yeah, that really doesn’t work, does it?

[ Laughs ] No, it doesn’T.

[ Axe thuds ] So, betsy told elizabeth that she was at franco’s grave around the time the break-in happened. Did your question her? I tried. I called her hotel. But she wasn’t there. What about an apb? Betsy is technically A…person of interest. Right, the problem is elizabeth is worried that betsy is involving her kids, and she thinks a formal inquiry will kind of blow back on the family. Got it. Listen, I’m not — I’m not — hey. What? I-I’m not convinced that it’s betsy. But elizabeth is. Well, yeah, because the alternative for elizabeth is that she has to entertain the fact that there could have been another woman in the mix. Betsy’s pretty scary. Oh, yeah, she’s scary, she’s crazy, all of that. But, you know, and I will look into it, but, uh… I mean, how obsessed with your own kid do you have to be to shred a wedding dress and burn his art studio? I would have to say pretty obsessed. Right. So

I better retracebetsy’s steps to find out if she was actually at the cemetery when she said she was. What are you doing? I’ve got skills, too. Just not throwing axes. Hey. Spinelli. Yeah, I’m gonna need your help. My boys wouldn’t terrorize me this way. They adored franco. They would never use his memory to punish me. I agree. So you’re being defensive because you feel I shouldn’t be questioning them at all? Because I just want you to be safe, but if I am overstepping, you say the word and I will back off. Hey, say something. I’m glad. I mean, is that wrong, to be glad when someone dies? Not if that someone is peter august. He took franco away from us. Made everyone believe my dad killed him. Including me. Which made things pretty crappy between us. I wish peter had died sooner. Before your dad died fighting him. I wish that, too, jake. I know I’m not an ideal father, curtis. Ideal for who? Anyone. I’m talking specifically you. Marshall, I’m a grown man, okay? It’s not your job to live up to some boyhood fantasy. If you trust me and you feel a sense of relief to — to unburden yourself, then why not fill in all the pieces of the puzzle? Because it may not be safe to do that yet.

you’re under no obligation to bare your soul to me. Marshall, if you’re harboring any secrets that could put people in danger, either in my club or in my home, I need to know. I will not put portia and trina at risk. Wait. Wait. Wait a minute. Since when did portia become a fixture in your home? Since I, um… I asked her to take the next step with me. So the plan is to find a new place and make it our own. Oh, curtis, that’s — that’s — that — that’s wonderful. It fills me — fills me with joy to see you so happy. You don’t have to be afraid of anything. On everything you and I hold dear, I promise I will not allow anything to hurt any of you. Understood. And if you need to share more, I’m here for you. And I won’t pry. That sounds like a plan. But, uh…right now, I need to go see a man about a job. Having marshall drop from the sky certainly has thrown curtis for a loop. I got that impression. It does seem like they’re working towards something. I hope so. Yeah. I really do. All I want is for curtis to be happy. What do you know? You and I, we want the same thing. So are you doing what I’m doing? What’s that? Well, I’m giving him a little space so that he can make his own conclusions. But at the same time, I’m kind of keeping a cautious eye out. You must have been spying on me.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. Yeah. I mean, obviously, I — I pray that marshall’s intentions are good, but just in case there’s any doubt, I’m at my buddy’s disposal. I love that you have curtis’ back. Always. You know what? To long friendships. Yeah, and to new ones. I really look forward to getting to know the woman that clearly has stolen my buddy’s heart.

[ Chuckles ] Cheers. Cheers. Oh, jordan, it’s so good to see you. You’re looking so strong and healthy. And ready to hit the ground running. Oh, I’ve missed you so much. I missed you, too. Thank you for all the calls and texts. And for your beautiful weekly flower deliveries.

[ Laughter ] You both really kept my spirits up. Good. Well, we’re both just so grateful to have you back. Now, tell me something, jordan. Are you sure you’re ready to go back to work? I’m sure. You should have seen me when I heard peter august was on the loose. Oh, my goodness, they probably had to lock you in your room. Almost. I know that’s wrapped up, but there have to be other pending cases. What? The investigation isn’t completely wrapped up. Well, what’s the status? Jordan, some of this is classified, and you’re not officially back on the job yet. Right. I’m sorry. I should have called you first before just assuming I could pick up where I left off. I don’t know, laura. I mean, if this runs as deep as we suspect, we’re gonna need as much help as we can get as quickly as we can get it. Well, then, uh, barring a few small but necessary formalities, I hereby reinstate you as commissioner of the pcpd. Welcome back.

[ Laughs ] You won’t regret it. I know that. I know what we have is new, and we haven’t established who I am to your boys. But I’d like to build something with them. If that’s okay with you. I would like that. Yeah. And you’re not overstepping. I just wish I had answers. You’re gonna get them. We’re gonna figure out who’s doing this, and we’re gonna put a stop to it. I promise you that. I’m sorry mom’s freaked out, but I am also happy franco’s painting was saved. At least now we have something to remember him by. Well, we have our memories, too. Yeah, but memories fade. You know, people move on, and sometimes I just worry franco’s being forgotten. Hey. Hey. Why don’t you take that? Yeah, like that. Hm? All right, I got it. Okay, you want to pull your hand back. Okay. Put it by your ear. Like that? Yeah, just like you’re gonna throw. Throw a baseball. Ohh. I like baseball. Yeah, I know you do. Mm-hmm. Okay. So you’re gonna just bring it forward and you’re gonna flick it and let it go and let the axe do all the work. Okay. Are you ready? Yeah, I’m ready. Okay. Don’t hit me.

[ Laughs ] Bull’s-eye! Huh? Wow! Wow! Damn. Oh, thank you. I just needed — just needed a little lesson. I needed a little you. My mountain man. Oh, let’s, uh… let’s not make that one stick.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

[ Sighs ] Spinelli is the best in the biz, but his timing is always off. Yep, it’s him. Hey. Okay. All right, send it over right now. Thanks. What do you got? Spinelli is sending over camera footage from the entrance of the cemetery. Can we roll that back a little bit? Is that betsy? Well, it sure does look like her. What is she doing? She never went in. She just left. Which means she lied. And we can’t account for her whereabouts.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Wait. Hold on. Talk to me. Okay. Okay, I’ll tell him. Okay, so spinelli was able to run a background check on betsy. Mostly insignificant. Mostly? It looks like last november, she was arrested by the new york state police.

A dumpster? Yep, a dumpster. Why? Oh, it was — okay, we were in there, we were looking for a bag from a defunct chinese restaurant. It’s a long story. We were hoping the bag could tie a guy to a crime. We’re in there, right, and we’re looking for it, and we come across this enormous rodent. No. Yes! No. Yes, curtis freaked out. You shouldn’t seen him. I’ve never seen somebody jump so high, so fast in my entire life. Mnh-mnh. His exact words were, “no, no, no, I don’t do rats.”

[ Laughs ] Just like that. I can see him doing that. How indiana jones of him. Right? Wasn’t it? Really was actually. Oh, gosh. Wow. You guys have really had some adventures together. We have. We have. And I hear he’s about to embark on a new one with you. He told me you guys are moving in together. We’re looking at properties. That’s awesome.

[ Squeals ] Congratulations. Thank you. Any luck finding one? Not so far. Uh, we want spacious. We want contemporary. Okay. But nothing’s quite been the right fit. Thank you so much. You know, before I moved into the quartermaines, I was shown a property that was really amazing. And it is still… it’s still available if you want me to e-mail you the listing. Are you kidding me? Yes, I would love that. Yeah. And if this works out, I-I-I’m gonna owe you for sure. Oh, really? Yeah. Well, I hear your culinary skills are pretty amazing. So I-I never turn down a home-cooked meal. I’m just saying. Well, how’s the kitchen in the new house? Oh! It’s incredible. It’s super high-end. It’s got a dual-fuel range. It’s got an induction cooktop. I mean, you’re gonna love it. All right. Well, then that’s a deal. Deal. I listened to victor for as long as was humanly possible. I mean, that guy, slippery bastard, didn’t say anything even interesting, much less incriminating, and we had no idea where peter had taken you. I only wish I could have done more. You did a lot. Making a move on victor like that, it took guts. It took fear. I was afraid, maxie. I-I was afraid we wouldn’t find you. I was af-afraid of what would happen to you. I was afraid you wouldn’t forgive me. I was afraid, too. Well, of course. Look, I didn’t — I-I did not mean to compare what you were going through with what I was going through. I know it must have been really difficult for you, especially having to leave bailey behind. Oh, that was the easiest decision that I made, actually. Believe it or not, I’m used to leaving bailey behind, especially if it means she’s protected, which is funny considering now I can’t seem to let her out of my sight. Well, now you don’t have to. Thank god. Right. Okay, that was the easy part. What was the hard part? Staring down the barrel of forever, alone with peter, not being able to see the people that I care about anymore. That really made my blood run cold. I can imagine. A life without your mom, without mac. Anna, britt, liesl. You. I made the list. Look, whatever peter’s involvement was with victor, it wasn’t your fault, austin. I know that you only wanted the best for me. I still only want the best for you, maxie. I know. Thank you for saying that. Does that mean I’m forgiven? Hmm. How do they say yes in pautuck? We pretty much just say yes. Okay. Yes. Obrecht told you that victor seemed to want something from peter? Mm-hmm. Something related to drew? And his conditioning. So victor most likely was working with peter quid pro quo. But if the t heory is thatvictor helped peter escape, why send someone to kill him? I don’t know. Maybe he outlived his usefulness? So do you think victor got what he wanted? And what would that be? I don’t know. Your guess is as good as mine, really.

[ Sighs ] All right. Well, let’s meet tomorrow at the precinct, okay? I’ll text you. Okay, sounds good. Bye-bye. Bye. You want to grab dinner? I think T.J. Might be wrapped up in surgery for a while. Rain check? There’s someone else I need to see. I come bearing gifts. Could that be a steak frommetro court made medium rare? It could. And it’s still warm. Ohh. I got green lights all the way over here. My lucky day. Luckier than you know because I have some exciting news for you. What was betsy arrested for? A driving infraction. But my phone can’t provide details of the arrests. Hmm. I normally go to a friendly neighbor, law enforcement guy. Really? Mm-hmm. How friendly? Well,we’re pretty tight. Hm. We’ve got great chemistry. Yeah. And we make the most beautiful axe throwing together. Hm. It sounds to me like I would like this guy. Oh, no one likes him better than I do. Oh.

[ Sighs ] What are you doing? What are you doing?

[ Clears throat ] Oh, you’re going to show me up. Yeah. Hey, donovan. Yeah, can you do me a favor? See, you’re not the only person who knows people. Finn: Hey. Listen, I, um… I didn’t mean to question you earlier. Uh, it’s okay. No, it’s not, jake, and I’m sorry. Um… you don’t know me very well, and I… sometimes have a tendency to live in my own head, and communication is not always my best suit. You’ll have to forgive me. I’M… I’m just worried about your mom. Aiden, cam, and i can take care of our mom. We have been ever since franco… and you boys have been amazing. But it’s not your job to take care of me. I want — and franco would want you guys just to enjoy being kids. How can you know what franco would want when he’s not here to tell us? The same way we knew his favorite paint color and what part of the movie would make him laugh. We knew him. And we are so much luckier for it. Finn: I’m not trying to replace franco, jake. But I hope together, if you’re willing, maybe we could forge a different bond — one of our own.

Check out the double-sided fireplace and all that space out here for entertaining. Man, look at that. And a big room for trina just in case she wants a break from the dorms. What are you thinking? Well, I think it’s perfect. And I take it you agree. I absolutely love it. I absolutely love you. Oh, my god. Did we just find our new home? We might have.

[ Squeals ]

[ Both laugh ] Oh, baby. About that job… you reconsidered?

[ Chuckles ] I was always interested. I just had to run it by somebody important first. Hey, I’m

gratefulfor this job offer, drew. And I would like to be considered. All right. After you fill out the standard application, we’ll just get started on that background check. I got nothing to hide. Austin: I’m glad we can talk through this. Yeah, me too. Your friendship means a lot to me. How much? Like, on a scale of 1 to 10? Yeah. How much? There was a time not so long ago when you and I talked about being more than just friends. I remember. Me too. And you told me that you had to focus on getting your louise, now bailey louise, back. And she is. So what are you going tofocus on now?

[ Cellphone rings ] What on ea rth do you want? So betsy was arrested for driving erratically, but she was not under the influence. Being sober doesn’t get you arrested. No, but attacking a state trooper does. Yikes. Yeah. I guess betsy was in such a bad way they had to stop at the first hospital and put her on a 9.27(a) hold for evaluation. Oh, a 72-hour involuntary psychiatric hold. Oh, that’s pretty good, P.I. Yeah, well, you know, I have my moments. Do you know what this means? Yeah. Betsy was considered an immediate danger to herself and others. I want to be here for all of you. But I agree with you, jake. Franco shouldn’t be forgotten, and he won’t be. Can I go upstairs? Of course.

[ Doorbell rings ] That’s the food. Betsy. I wasn’t expecting you. There’s something I need to — oh, I-I thought you’d be alone, not… no, betsy, wait. Clearly, you’re here for a reason. Just tell me what it is. I wasn’t honest with you before. You deserve the truth, elizabeth — all of it.

[Slow country music]

Roman: Hey, hey. How’d it go?

Tripp: How’d what go?

Roman: Don’t give me that. You proposed to allie, right?

Tripp: Yeah. Yeah, that was a disaster.

Allie: Oh, it’s you.

Kate: Sorry. Who were you expecting?

Allie: Nobody. I was hoping it was tripp.

Kate: Honey, you’ve been crying. What’s wrong?

Allie: Everything.

Kate: Oh, baby. Oh.

Allie: [Breathing heavily]

Tony: [Sighs] Seems like it’s taking forever.

Chad: I’m losing it. We got this information from abby’s kidnapper, who could’ve just sent us on a wild-goose chase.

Tony: Well, I have a decent relationship with ned. That’s why I was able to convince him that it was in his best interest to tell us the truth.

Chad: Well, I hope you convinced him.

Tony: I threatened him with anna’s wrath.

Chad: Okay, so then you brought out the heavy artillery. It’s just…it’s taking us so long to get there.

Tony: Chad, our time in key west paid off. We now know where abigail is.

Chad: With kristen. I just pray that abby’s safe and unharmed by the time we finally get there.

[Banging on door]

Abigail: Kristen! Kristen, let me out of here! Tell me I can come and go as i please and then you lock the damn door?

[Banging] Kristen!

[Sighs] I was out of my mind to believe her anyway.

[Keys jangling]

[Gasps] Oh, my god! It’s you!

Kristen: [Grunts] Well, happy valentine’s day, lovebirds.

[Tense music]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Kristen: [Sighs] I am sorry about the gags. I just–my head was killing me. I couldn’t bear another lecture about how I turned the tables on you, hmm? You two have always been so pushy. And your niece, she takes after you as well.

Steve: Abigail? She’s here?

Kayla: What have you done with her?

Kristen: Well, at the moment, she’s curled up with a really good book.

Steve: Tell us where abigail is right now, or I’m gonna–

Kristen: Oh, you’ll what? You’ll what? You’re gonna shoot me with a flare gun? I mean, you know what? I’ve already tried to shoot the lights off my christmas tree. And guess what. Didn’t work.

Steve: You can do some real damage with these things if you know what you’re doing.

Kristen: Oh. And do you know what you’re doing, steve?

Steve: You bet I do.

[Body thuds, flare gun clatters]

Kristen: You see, I’m not the one who clobbered you. It was sarah. Oh, I’m sorry, renee dumonde.

[Dramatic music]

Abigail: Sarah! Oh, my god! I am so glad to see you. You’re the reason that I’m here. I came looking for you.

Sarah: What are you doing in my room? I had to sleep somewhere else last night.

Abigail: I’m so s–

Sarah: I don’t even know who you are.

Abigail: Sarah, I–

Sarah: Why does everyone keep calling me that? My name is renee. Renee dumonde.

Abigail: I’m sorry if i upset you. I know everything that’s happened to you. Kristen told me all about it.

Sarah: What’s happened to me? It’s not me; it’s you and everyone else. I know who I am. What, are you all crazy or something? I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Kate: So you cheated on tripp. Do you mind me asking who with?

Allie: Chanel.

Kate: Okay.

Allie: She’s, like, my best friend I ever had. When she moved here, I couldn’t believe how happy I was to see her again.

Kate: Did… I mean, did chanel come on to you or…

Allie: No, no. Definitely not. It was–it was just a couple of kisses, that’s all.

Kate: Do you consider that cheating?

Allie: No. And I told tripp about that, and he was cool. I mean, he didn’t judge me at all or anything. And then chanel and johnny got married and we put it all behind us.

Kate: Okay. Well, honey, I don’t understand the problem.

Allie: Well, at chanel’s wedding party, when johnny broke up with her in front of everyone, she was a wreck. I’d never seen her like that. She’s usually kicking ass. Anyway, she asked me to stay over, and we were laying in bed and it just kinda happened. It was just one time.

Kate: And you told tripp after he asked you to marry him.

Allie: No. No, it wasn’t me who told tripp. It was my brother.

Kate: Johnny?

Allie: Mm-hmm. He showed up right after I said yes, and we told him we were engaged, and he just blurted it out.

Kate: What? Why would he do something so cruel?

Allie: I don’t know. He’s not the same anymore, grandma.

[Sighs] Chanel told tripp he was lying.

Kate: But tripp didn’t buy it.

Allie: After johnny left, he asked me if it was true. I took one look at his face and I knew I had to be honest.

Kate: So look, honey. If you are feeling confused about your sexuality, perhaps it isn’t the best time to commit to–

Allie: No, no. I’m not confused. I love tripp.

Kate: [Sighs] God, I would just love to tear johnny from limb to limb.

Allie: Thinking about what he did to chanel and now what he’s done to me… I hate him, grandma. I told him he’s not my brother anymore.

Kate: Well, good for you.

Allie: Doesn’t matter anyway, though. I mean, I’m the one who screwed everything up. I kept something huge from tripp for weeks, and he found out anyway.

Kate: In the worst possible way, the worst possible time.

[Sighs] Honey, is there any hope?

Allie: I don’t think so. I mean, I wouldn’t blame tripp if he never wanted to see me again.

Roman: Okay, well… I did hear that something happened between allie and chanel, but I thought it was minor and over with.

Tripp: Them kissing?

Roman: Yeah.

Tripp: Yeah. Yeah, allie told me about that. And I was pretty surprised, but she said it had nothing to do with us and that it was over. So I…made myself get past that, and… after that, things were really good between us. I mean, great even. And she knew that, and– and she went and slept with chanel.

Roman: How long ago?

Tripp: The night of the party. Wedding party where johnny told everybody that the marriage was over.

Roman: Okay, well, that was, like, a month ago.

Tripp: I shouldn’t be telling you this stuff. I mean, she’s your granddaughter.

Roman: Yeah. Yeah. And I love her. But she’s been through hell and you’re, like– well, hell, you’re the best thing that’s happened to her in a long time, so that’s why I gave you my blessing.

Tripp: And you also told me not to rush into marriage unless I was sure that’s what she wanted, and… man, were you right.

Kristen: Mm. When sarah clocked you, you went down for the count, and it was glorious. Oh, and you, you tough little doctor/barmaid. You looked like a scared baby lamb.

Kayla: Steve. Steve, are you all right? Why would you do that? You stood up at our wedding. What is wrong with you?

Sarah: What’s wrong with you? Why were you threatening my sister?

Kristen: Oh, thank you, renee. Your loyalty has always been so touching. But you know what? I can take it from here.

[Tense music]

And since you were down for the count, it was relatively easy to get you and your beloved down here. Hmm?

Steve: [Muffled speech]

Kristen: [Growls mockingly]

[Laughs] For crying out loud, use your words, huh? And mind your manners if you know what’s good for you.

Steve: What have you done with abigail?

Kayla: Where is she?

Kristen: Oh, my god. I mean, I make you guys this wonderful meal and all you can do is harp on about abigail? I’m telling you, she’s doing just fine. I mean, except for her guilty conscience.

Abigail: I came here hoping to find you, and you’re the one who found me. But, um… if you’ll give me a chance, I’ll try to explain everything. Do you recognize this?

Sarah: Of course. It’s my diary.

Abigail: Well, I hope you don’t mind, but I read it.

Sarah: [Laughs] I should be upset, but I guess it’s an open book.

Abigail: It’s an unbelievable story, though. I know it’s true, but the thing is, it’s not your story. It’s renee’S.

Sarah: You say you wanna explain things, but you don’t understand anything.

Abigail: Okay, you trust kristen, right?

Sarah: She’s my little sister.

Abigail: Okay, well, she told me that she gave this to you after she brought you here.

Sarah: She gave me a lot of books.

Abigail: But you had been drugged and you were kidnapped, so you were vulnerable and you were really, really confused. So you read this and you became convinced that this was the story of your life. But it’s not your story, because you are not renee.

Sarah: How could reading a diary make me think that I am someone that I’m not?

Abigail: Because of me.

Tony: I understand your feelings about kristen.

Chad: She wasn’t always this bad. When I came into the family, she treated me like an annoying kid brother, but she seemed to like me.

Tony: Well, it all seemed to have gotten worse for her when her relationship with brady fell apart and she lost contact with her daughter.

Chad: If you say so.

Tony: I think there is a part of her that still thinks of you as being her brother and remembers jennifer as a friend. But I’m in agreement. I don’t think she’d bring any harm to your wife and jennifer’s child.

Chad: Well, even if that’s true–god willing, it is– we have no idea what to expect when we land on that island. If we ever do. I mean, I didn’t even know this place existed. I don’t know anything about this place.

Tony: I do. I’ve spent some time there.

Chad: On family business or…

Tony: Actually, it was a romantic getaway.

Chad: Why didn’t you tell me you and anna had been there?

Tony: No, no, it was before anna, before you were born. There was a woman I was very much in love with by the name of renee dumonde.

Sarah: How can it be your fault that anything happened to me if I don’t even know you?

Abigail: It’s my fault that you got the drug that kristen gave you.

Sarah: What drug?

Abigail: You found a syringe loaded with a mind-altering drug.

Sarah: You’re making this up.

Abigail: No, no, I’m not. No, I know because I tried to give it to my sister. I mean, she’d done terrible things to me, which is no excuse. But I locked her in the room that you were in.

Sarah: [Laughs] And you’re supposed to be my savior?

Abigail: Look, I didn’t give it to her, okay, because somebody stopped me. But…I left it behind. And then you found it and you tried to use it to defend yourself against kristen.

Sarah: Why would I defend myself against kristen? She’s always been good to me.

Abigail: She may have told you that, but it was a lie. Okay, kristen is the one who locked you in that room. Then she injected you with the drug, and then she brought you here, okay? Now… if you would let me tell you the whole story, I believe that I can help you understand how this all really happened… and who you really are.

Kristen: It’s true. Little abigail was planning on shooting her big sister full of happy juice and sweat a confession out of her.

Steve: But abigail didn’t go through with her plan. She came to her senses.

Kayla: It was you. You’re the one that shot sarah with that happy juice and put renee’s diary in her hand at just the right moment.

Kristen: Okay, it was sarah who was waving that syringe in my face. I was forced to use it on her. But it was abigail who left the syringe where sarah could find it, so you know what? This is all on abigail.

Steve: Oh, man. That’s stretching it.

Kayla: You know, I’m not gonna believe a word you say until I see abigail for myself and see that she is all right.

Steve: Take us to her. Now.

Kristen: Aren’t you guys hungry? Don’t you want this lovely meal I made? Come on, you kids. You have so much to celebrate, huh?

[Sighs] See, it’s not just valentine’s day. It’s your anniversary.

[Tense music]

Kate: As someone who has had a certain number of relationships turn bad, I don’t think you should ever give up hope.

Allie: You weren’t there.

Kate: I know. I know. But I’m thinking perhaps tripp reacted the way he did because he felt blindsided. And once he calms down, he’s going to realize how much he’s thrown away. Have you tried to talk to him yet?

Allie: No. He was so mad, hurt. I don’t even think he could stand to look at me.

Kate: Okay, well, look. I am not going to leave you here by yourself, okay? Why don’t you come to the pub with me? I’m going to have dinner with roman.

Allie: No, no. Okay? It’s valentine’s day and I’m a mess. You guys should be alone.

Kate: Okay, but you shouldn’t be alone. And after what’s happened to you, do you think we’re gonna have a good time? Because we’re not. Honey, you are the child of my child, and I love you more than I can even say. All right? Please, will you come with me?

Tripp: I just– I just don’t get it, you know? I– it’s not that she cheated on me– or it’s not just that she cheated on me. It was with chanel. So it just makes me think maybe… maybe she’s not as into men as she wants to be.

Roman: Look… I can’t answer that, but I can tell you that I do know what it feels like… to be cheated on by a woman you thought you’d spend the rest of your life with.

Tripp: Dad and kayla told me about you and marlena.

Roman: Yeah. Marlena, she told me that she loved me. She swore that she loved me, and I believed her. But turns out that she loved john in a different way, and because of that, our marriage ended.

Tripp: I think allie loves me; that’s the hard part. She’s a good person. She wouldn’t just go behind my back for someone who meant nothing to her. So maybe… maybe she just loves chanel in a different way. Like marlena and john.

Roman: Well, you know, we’d been married a long time when we split up. We had kids. You’re not there yet. Maybe this thing with chanel is a phase, you know? But look, what do I know? You tell me, though, that… you believe that allie still loves you. And you know you love her. So isn’t there possibly some way that you two could get past this? Are you one of the millions of americans

Chad: Whoa. So you and renee fell in love… and then found out that you were brother and sister?

Tony: Right.

Chad: The old man really got around, huh?

Tony: No, renee broke it off without ever telling me the real reason. But she finally discovered… that it was never true.

Chad: Oh, because you’re not father’s biological son?

Tony: Well, by that time… she’d already married julie’s son, david banning, and… I’d met my anna.

Chad: And that was it for you two.

Tony: Well, as far as I was concerned, it was, but renee felt differently. She felt she’d been cheated out of happiness and… she wanted me back. Oh, she did such hideous things to anna.

Chad: I’m sorry, man.

Tony: And it was all for naught. Anna’s the love of my life. And she finally had to accept the fact that nothing she could do could come between us. I hate to say this. I never wished renee any harm… but my life has become far less complicated now that she’s dead.

[Sighs]

[Chuckles] I think I see–I can see land. As a matter of fact, I can see lights. We might be there soon.

[Chuckles]

[Ominous music]

Sarah: So let me get this straight.

[Laughs] I happened upon kristen while she was masquerading as someone else. So she kidnapped me and locked me in a “secret room.”

Abigail: Right.

Sarah: Mm. And that’s where I found this syringe. And I came at her with it, but she got hold of it and used it on me.

Abigail: Truth is stranger than fiction.

Sarah: I don’t believe any of this.

Abigail: Because you don’t remember any of it. The drug affected your mind and it wiped away any memory that you have of being sarah horton.

Sarah: Kristen would never do that to me.

Abigail: Kristen would do that to anybody who got in her way, okay? Look. Now, I don’t think that she knew what was in the syringe, okay? It’s a very, very powerful drug, and it has made you believe that you are someone that you’re not. Now, I know what it can do. My sister gave it to me. She spiked a glass of champagne with it, and the next thing i know, I’m having hallucinations and I was in a psychiatric hospital for months. I could have lost my husband, my kids, everyone, everything that I love. But I got treatment and I got better. Okay? Now, sarah… if you don’t listen to me, you could go down the same rabbit hole that I did, and… you might never get out.

[Cork pops]

Kristen: Whoo!

[Chuckles] See, valentine’s day must mean a lot to you two. You got married twice on that same day. And I bet you wore red both times.

[Laughs] So how about you two tuck into some island chicken, hmm? And I can untie you. It’ll be lovely.

Kayla: Why is she doing this?

Steve: I don’t know. But I don’t think we should touch that chicken.

Kristen: Oh, come on. I’m always on the side of people in love.

Steve: Even you can’t make that one work.

Kristen: [Laughs] There’s no point in you two not enjoying what this beautiful island has to offer, hmm? Hey. You know what? You’re not going anywhere. So you can either just sit here tied up and stare at each other, or… you can enjoy this wonderful dinner and… celebrate the important milestone. It’s your choice.

[Suspenseful music]

Steve: Okay. We’ll take the dinner.

Kristen: Good for you.

[Laughs] And I’m gonna untie you, hmm?

Tripp: Allie said she still wanted to marry me. What happened with chanel was just a mistake that she’d always regret.

Roman: Okay. And you believed her?

Tripp: I wanted to.

Roman: Do you still love her?

Tripp: Yeah, it’s not like i can just turn off the switch.

Roman: Okay, so you do. So let me ask you this, all right? If she still loves you and you still love her, don’t you think that maybe you… could find it in your heart to forgive her?

[Door clicks open]

[Slow country music]

To be a thriver with

metastatic breast cancer

Tripp: What are you doing here?

Kate: She came with me. We didn’t know you were going to be here too.

Tripp: I’m gonna go.

Kate: Tripp, please. Please don’t go. I brought allie here because she’s heartbroken. And I didn’t want her to be alone. She just told me that she still loves you and she feels miserable about what happened. I know that you’re hurt. I know you are. But the two of you had something that was just so lovely together. Can’t you find it in your heart to forgive her?

Tripp: Roman just asked me the same question.

Roman: So what’s your answer?

[Tender music]

Kayla: [Grunts] Oh.

[Door rattles]

Steve: [Grunts]

Kayla: No luck?

Steve: No. After that pretty speech she gave about love and family, she locked us in here again. We’re not gonna eat this food, are we?

Steve: I don’t know. I mean, we saw her uncork that champagne. I don’t think even kristen could poison it and cork it back up again.

Kayla: Yeah, but she could do anything she wants to that island chicken.

Steve: Yeah. But she didn’t poison that salad you ate.

Kayla: That’s true. And we do need to eat something so we don’t pass out.

Steve: Can’t afford to pass out. And I’m tired of second-guessing that woman. I want us to celebrate our anniversary. Okay? So I say let’s go for it. Happy anniversary, sweetness.

Kayla: Happy anniversary.

[Glasses clink]

[Dramatic music]

Abigail: You’re thinking about what I said, aren’t you? I can see it in your face. I know better than anyone what you are going through. You don’t know if you can believe what you’re seeing with your own eyes. I mean, my mind was so messed up, I didn’t even recognize my own husband. I actually thought he was a serial killer named ben weston. And all the while, he’s chad dimera. The same chad that loves me.

Sarah: Did you say dimera?

Abigail: Yeah. My husband is stefano’s youngest son– as far as we know, anyway.

Sarah: If that’s really true, if he’s stefano’s son, then… you’re married to my brother. You and I, we’re practically sisters!

[Tense music]

Your home…

Roman: Tripp, what is your answer?

Allie: Don’t do this to him, okay? Not here. Not in front of everyone. I know you can barely stand to be in the same room as me right now, and I don’t blame you. I hate myself for what I did to you. I– you are the guy who stood by me through everything. You loved me even when I was a complete mess. You’ve already forgiven me for other stupid stuff I’ve done. And henry. Henry loves you so much. He loves you like a father. I– tripp, I think the reason that I couldn’t tell you about what happened with chanel and me is the same reason that i couldn’t tell you why i loved you for so long. It’s because I felt like– like damaged goods. And I felt like I wasn’t good enough for you, and now I’ve proven that, and…

[Cries] I will never– I will never stop hating how much I hurt you. And I’ll never stop loving you either.

Tripp: You’re saying all these things, and it seems like you mean it. But… you’ve also said a lot of other things I thought you meant. I feel like I– like I’ll never really be sure that it’s me that you want. And if we’re not together, I… I can never really be sure of who you’re with, what you’re doing. And I… I can’t live like that, I’m sorry.

Allie: [Sobs] Oh, god.

Kate: Oh, allie, I’m so sorry. I should never have brought you back here.

Allie: No, no. It’s not your fault, grandma. It’s me. I just wanna go hold henry.

Roman: Hey, allie, why don’t you hang with kate and I? Have some dinner.

Allie: No, no. I couldn’t eat anything right now. I just wanna go.

Kate: Oh, god.

[Somber music]

Steve: [Sighs] So how do you feel?

Kayla: Like I haven’t been poisoned.

Steve: Yeah, I feel okay too.

Kayla: [Laughs]

Steve: What were you just thinking about?

Kayla: Um… our first valentine’s day wedding at julie’s place when it was still club tbd.

Steve: Yeah, we just got back from trying to track stefano down, and we said, “to hell with that guy. We’re getting married.”

Kayla: Yeah. You know, it was so special because joey and stephanie were there.

Steve: Oh, yeah.

Kayla: I really thought that was gonna be our forever wedding.

Steve: Should have been. ‘Cause that guy who sent you those divorce papers wasn’t really me.

Kayla: Wish I would have known that.

Steve: So do I. But we’re fine now. Okay? And last valentine’s day, that was our forever wedding.

Kayla: Well, it was certainly my only surprise wedding I ever had.

[Laughs]

Steve: That’s right. Yeah, it was a surprise for you. But I just could not wait another day to be your husband and for you to be my wife. You know what? I always remember the last thing you said to me when you vowed to be my wife again.

Kayla: What?

Steve: You said you knew this was gonna be our last wedding… because you’d never let me go again.

Kayla: I meant that. If you decide to leave me, I’m– I’m going with you.

Steve: I’m not going anywhere, baby.

[Tender music]

Abigail: Uh, okay. I am not your sister-in-law. I’m your cousin. Okay? Your dad and my grandfather were brothers.

Sarah: I didn’t even know I had a brother named chad.

Abigail: Well, he didn’t know he was stefano’s son until he was in college.

Sarah: So my long-lost brother. You know, for a while, I thought that tony was my half brother. It was awful. But then we found out that stefano wasn’t his father. But it was too late.

Abigail: We’re talking about your family, the hortons.

Sarah: I told you I didn’t wanna hear any of that. Tell me about chad. And tony. When was the last time that you saw him? Did he talk about me? Does he miss me as much as I miss him?

[Dramatic music]

Tony: So… how do you like the family pile?

Chad: Well, it could use a renovation, that’s for sure.

Tony: Yes, it does look a bit… the worse for wear. But I remember it.

[Sighs] I’ve been here before.

Chad: With renee. This place is enormous.

Tony: Yes, it has at least two wings. You know, we should check every room. Hopefully, we’ll find abigail in one of them.

Chad: Well, then we should split up.

Tony: Okay.

[Tense music]

Kristen: Hmm. I could have sworn I heard the front door.

My asthma felt anything but normal.

Abigail: Now that you know that I’m married to a dimera, you must believe I would never lie to you.

[Gasps] Oh, my god!

Chad: Abby.

Abigail: I knew you’d find me! Oh.

Chad: [Chuckles]

Allie: [Sniffles] “Hi, I put henry to bed and I’m going to bed myself. I’ll get up with henry in the morning so you and tripp can sleep as late as you want.”

[Sniffles] “I hope you had the best, most romantic valentine’s day ever.” Oh.

[Sniffles]

[Sobs]

[Somber music]

Tripp: “Amore mio.” My love.

Steve: So I’m at the pub, all set. Everything looks beautiful. And john calls at the last minute and he says…

Kayla: Mm-hmm?

Steve: Marlena can’t marry us and he can’t be my best man because they both have… food poisoning.

Kayla: Mm-hmm. Because marlena decided that she was gonna make john a valentine’s day breakfast.

Steve: Oh, big mistake.

Kayla: Danger.

Steve: Yeah. Yeah. Then our good friend abe showed up. He just happened to come to the pub just in time. He agreed to marry us, and tripp filled in as my best man.

Kayla: And sarah just happened to be going to the pub to pick up dessert for her and xander. So she was my maid of honor. Wow.

Steve: Seems like a lifetime ago, doesn’t it?

Kayla: Right now, it sure does. I wonder what tripp and allie are doing tonight.

[Lock clicks]

Kristen: Hello, lovebirds. Did you enjoy the island chicken?

Kayla: Was average.

Kristen: Hmm.

Steve: And guess you weren’t lying about not poisoning it.

Kristen: Well, that’s what I came down to tell you. I actually did lie.

Chad: Babe, are you sure you’re okay?

Abigail: I am now, yeah.

Sarah: Oh, my god. This is so romantic! Hi, chad. Nice to meet you.

Chad: What’s going on with her?

Sarah: [Laughs] Tony! Oh, my darling! Oh, I can’t believe you’re here!

[Tense music]

[Laughs]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Brooke: When you moved back to L.A., I thought, “why not? Why not be friends? I mean, why continue this rivalry when it’s no longer relevant? Right?” But you were just biding your time. You were just lulling me, waiting for that perfect moment to move in on ridge.

Taylor: Oh, my god. I know that that is a very convenient way for you to look at it because it makes you the victim–

Brooke: Your little plan isn’t gonna work, taylor. Just stay away from my marriage.

Ridge: I’m not interested in anything you have to say.

Deacon: Well, you’re gonna listen to me because I’m trying to do you solid. Look. Guy to guy, I get it. You’re angry with brooke because of her lapse with me but it doesn’t mean you have to go boomerang back to taylor. Ridge. Work things out with your wife, man, all right? Forgive brooke.

Hope: I wonder what’s going on with ridge and my dad?

Liam: If I had to put money on it, I think I’d say nothing good.

Hope: You think that I made a mistake asking my dad to talk to ridge?

Liam: Listen, I know your intentions were pure. Obviously, you’re trying to save your mother’s marriage. It’s just… you know, having deacon be the one to plead brooke’s case to ridge? May not have the desired effect.

Finn: You hear that?

Steffy: No, I don’t hear anything.

Finn: Exactly. It’s you and me with the place all to ourselves.

Steffy: It has been a while.

Finn: I say we take full advantage.

Steffy: Mm. Baby, sometimes I just hate being a grown up but we can’t, we can’t, we can’t, we can’t, we can’T.

Finn: Mm, please do not tell me that.

Steffy: My mom could come home any minute.

Finn: Hmm…

Steffy: I’m sorry, baby.

Finn: No, not sorry as I am.

Steffy: I hope you’re not starting to regret my mom staying here.

Finn: No, not at all. I’m just, uh, really in love with you.

Steffy: Hm.

Finn: And I know how much it means to you, having taylor so close.

Steffy: Yeah, I am amazed by everything that’s happened since my mom’s been back. It really is like a dream come true.

Hope: This whole situation is a nightmare. You know, I never thought that we would wind up in this place again. I–I mean, mom and ridge seemed happy and now this? My mom might lose ridge to taylor, again. History repeating itself. And why? All because of one drunken night with my father.

Deacon: I’m gonna make this quick because this isn’t my idea of a good time.

Ridge: Well then, you should leave. Or I can throw you out, whatever’s easier.

Deacon: You know– go ahead. Take your best shot, man. Go ahead if it’s gonna– if it’s gonna make you feel better and allow you to actually hear me–

Ridge: What is it you’re looking for? You want brooke to come in and save you again?

Deacon: Ridge, come on, enough. Please. Forgive her. Don’t fall back into old patterns and leave brooke hanging for taylor.

Brooke: You have plenty to say about my bad behavior. What about yours? I thought you were supposed to be so much better than me.

Taylor: Well, those are your words, not mine.

Brooke: That’s what you and thomas and steffy think. But there’s nothing high-minded about going after somebody else’s husband.

Taylor: No, that is not the way that it happened, brooke. The reality of the situation is that things have changed. And your secrets and your lies are what made that happen, not me. Your little fling with deacon or whatever you want to call it, helped ridge see what was right in front of him: His family. And those are his words. He says he wants to come home.

Brooke: Ridge already has a home. With me. I’m his wife.

Taylor: Ridge took off his wedding ring. I’m not sure how much longer you can make that claim. Smooth dark chocolate, refreshing peppermint,

Finn: What was your favorite thing about your parents when you were growing up?

Steffy: My favorite thing. You’re going to limit it to one?

Finn: Okay, just the, uh, the top three. Ascending order.

Steffy: Okay. I think number three would have to be their mutual respect. My mom and my dad, they were never careless with each other. Not the way brooke is with my dad.

Finn: Had the same example. When you’re a kid, the world can be a scary place but if home can be where you can feel the ground underneath your feet, you can face anything and know it’ll be okay.

Steffy: Yeah, exactly.

Finn: Okay, number two.

>>Steffy: Number two would have to be the laughter. I mean, my father could crack my mom up like, yeah. She was the only one that got his humor and trust me, not everybody does.

Finn: Number one.

Steffy: Number one would have to be love. My mom and my dad, they– they radiated love. And as a kid, that’S… what I knew I wanted when I got older. And after a few false starts, I finally got it.

[ Steffy sighs ]

Deacon: Just listen to brooke. Really hear what she has to say. She wasn’t herself that night–

Ridge: She wasn’t herself that night because she was drinking, right? It doesn’t change the fact that she was making out with you. She slept in our bed with you. She defended you.

Deacon: She wasn’t defending me. She stopped us from killing each other. Why is that so unforgivable?

Ridge: Because she took your side. After everything you’ve done, she took your side. And I’m not okay with that. Never will be.

Deacon: Look, I don’t have to tell you, brooke’s got a good heart. She knows the meaning of forgiveness. You could take a page out of that book instead of defaulting back to taylor.

Ridge: You know what, deacon? Thank you for coming by. You reminded me that I need someone in my life that I can trust. I need stability. And I don’t have that with brooke.

Deacon: You know, maybe you’re right. Maybe it is too late for you and brooke.

Brooke: You must be loving this, thinking that you’ve won. That my marriage to ridge is over.

Taylor: Oh, stop, brooke. No, I don’t take any pleasure in your pain.

Brooke: Because my pain is your pleasure. If I’m in pain, it’s because I’m losing ridge. And if I’m losing ridge, who better to pick up the pieces?

Taylor: I have never stopped loving ridge, ever. But I’ve also never wished harm on your marriage.

[ Brooke laughs ]

Brooke: Oh, god. Why don’t you tell that to ridge? He might believe you. I certainly don’T.

Taylor: Okay, that’s fine. Ridge being done with you has nothing to do with me. Brooke. This is all you.

Brooke: No, I know. I take full responsibility for what happened.

Taylor: It doesn’t seem like you are. It’s like you’re trying to blame me for ridge leaving you.

Brooke: No, I’m not. I know that it was all my fault. I chose to drink that night. I chose to kiss deacon. I wish I could take it all back, I really do.

[ Sighs ] But then, when I told ridge about it, he said that he loved me, that he would forgive me. That we would work through it all together. And then, he went to see deacon and they were fighting, so I jumped in and i defended deacon. And that’s when ridge snapped. That’s when he went to you, stayed the night with you and you… kissed. I mean, ridge may think this is what he wants but I don’t know. You should enjoy it while you can. You and thomas and steffy, just enjoy the time you have with your sweet, little family. It’s not gonna last. Ridge will come back to me, taylor. He always does. He loves me. And you know that.

Taylor: Hey, do i smell baking?

Steffy: Mm-hm, it happens from time to time. You know, now that dad’s coming back, I thought it was a good reason to celebrate so I’m baking some cookies.

Taylor: Aw. That’s so sweet. He’s gonna love that.

Steffy: Is, uh, everything okay?

Taylor: Yeah, yeah, there’s just, there’s a lot going on.

Steffy: Mm-hm. And that’s good, right? I mean, the family’s coming back together. I was telling finn that this feels like such a dream.

Taylor: Yeah, that’s the thing about dreams. Sometimes they come with a rude awakening.

Steffy: Okay. What’s wrong? Please don’t try to play it off.

Taylor: I– I had a visitor today.

Steffy: Sheila? Again?

Taylor: No. It was, brooke, actually.

Steffy: Oh, no wonder you’re in a mood. I can’t even imagine what brooke had to say.

[ Knocking ]

Ridge: Your mother’s not here.

Hope: Oh, I know. I think you and I need to talk.

Ridge: So you heard what happened?

Hope: Yeah, but nothing has happened that you can’t take back yet.

[ Ridge sighs ]

Ridge: I didn’t want any of this. But here we are.

Hope: Ridge. My mother loves you.

Ridge: And I will always love her.

Hope: So then, fight for her. Fight for your marriage. I mean, she’s sorry that she hurt you. So can you please just not turn your back on her? Please, ridge?

[ Door opening]

Brooke: Deacon.

Deacon: You were hoping for ridge. Hope filled me in. Brooke, I’m sorry. I know your marriage is in trouble. Ridge and I are having a hard time communicating right now, but we’ll work it out–

Deacon: Don’t do that. Don’t, don’t sell yourself short.

Brooke: What does that mean?

Deacon: It means I’m sorry you’re going through this because you don’t deserve it. (Asaad) when I was little,

Steffy: So, what happened?

Taylor: Well, brooke was upset, as you can imagine.

Steffy: Yes, she always is when she betrays dad.

Taylor: Mm-hm. She told me she wasn’t gonna stand by and let me “steal” her husband.

[ Steffy laughs ]

Steffy: Talk about projection. I mean, what? She thinks you’re responsible for brooke drinking and kissing deacon? Okay. No. She was the one who sabotaged her own marriage.

Taylor: Yes, she did. But she’s been forgiven for worse. Bill spencer. Your father moved on from that.

Steffy: Yeah, because dad went through that, he doesn’t want to go through it again. He put his trust in brooke and she threw it in his face. I’m telling you mom, it’s over. He’s coming home to you. You’ll see.

Ridge: So, you and deacon a tag team, now? He was just here defending your mom.

Hope: Yeah, well, he did that for me as kind of a last resort sort of thing. I thought he might be able to get through to you. So if you’re angry, it’s– I’m the one to blame.

Ridge: I’m not angry at you. You’re a loving daughter who wants to clean up her mom’s mess.

Hope: I also need to clean up my mess. Ridge, I am sorry for the part that I played in what happened between the two of you. I never should have allowed my need for a relationship with my father to have a negative impact on your marriage to my mom.

Ridge: I’m surprised by that. I thought you would like the opportunity to have your parents back together.

[ Hope laughs ]

Hope: My mom loves you. You are the one who makes her happy.

Ridge: I believed that once.

Hope: You still should. My mom would have never had drinks with deacon that night, let alone kissed him, had she had been sober. And I think you know that. So please don’t throw away your entire marriage before you even talk to her, before you sit down and listen to her point of view and look into her eyes and see the love that she has for you. I think maybe then, you might be able to find forgiveness.

Deacon: You’re the most amazing woman I’ve ever met. And you’re not perfect. I mean, no one is. But any man, any man would be beyond lucky to have you by his side. I think ridge is being too hard on you.

Brooke: Because I hurt him. I just feel like my whole world is crashing down around me. One minute, everything was fine and the next– what happened to me? I mean, how could I betray my husband like that?

Deacon: Brooke, it was one kiss. That’s all.

Brooke: Deacon, you and i shared a bed together, a bed that I sleep in with my husband.

Deacon: Absolutely nothing happened. You didn’t even know I was there till the next morning, which is more than I can say about ridge and taylor. Yeah, I know he spent the night with her.

Brooke: It’s not what you’re insinuating.

Deacon: Okay. All right. All I’m saying is, I’m sorry. All right? This is a– an indignity that you shouldn’t have to suffer. Okay, I get it. The guy– the guy got upset. He got his feelings hurt. Well, you know what? Man the hell up. Work things out with your wife. You don’t go running into the arms of another woman. To taylor? Come on. Where’s the– where’s the respect?

Brooke: I can’t deny it does bother me thinking of ridge and taylor together. But ridge and I will work through this. And I’m willing to do whatever it takes.

Deacon: Again? Come on, how many times have you guys been through this? You know, you have a fight, you split up. You fight like hell to get back together. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Brooke: All couples have their different challenges.

Deacon: Yeah, but your marriage to ridge has been nothing but. Think about it, from the very beginning, you’ve always had to question your place in his heart. Meanwhile, he bounces back and forth between you and taylor. And you know, now, finally, finally, you felt like you were on solid ground and here you are again. I– I get it. We, we had a kiss. We had a– a dumb, drunken kiss on new year’s eve. But for him to run into the arms of another woman? Look, I’m not saying this to upset you and hurt you. I just want you to see– I want you to see your worth. You are so amazing. You– you deserve to be respected and cherished. And loved. Unconditionally. I think it’s time you hang things up with ridge. You know, and all that, that painful history that comes with it. I mean, he’s moving on and it seems like he’s doing it pretty damn quickly. I think it’s time you move on too, to a man who has always loved you, who will never let you down, no matter what. I know that you want that man to be ridge. But it isn’T. And it probably never was, and it never will be. But that man does exist. And he’s standing right here in front of you.

Interview with Merrin Dungey of “Shining Vale” on Starz by Suzanne 2/7/22

I was delighted to speak with Merrin Dungey because she’s been in so many wonderful series, such as “Alias,” “Once Upon a Time,” “The Resident,” “Star Trek: Picard,” “Hollywood Heights,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Big Little Lies” and much more. I don’t know why she’s not starring in her own series by now. She has a fairly small role in this show (at least in the first season), but she’s great in it. I hope they give her more to do in the second season. It was wonderful to speak to her!

The first few questions were mine, and the rest are from the other reporters that were in our virtual room during this press junket. I put one of theirs in sooner so you could see that I was replying, in part, to what she had said when she was answering the other questions.

Suzanne: Hi! So, besides being Pat’s friend and editor, what else can you tell us about your character?

Our favorite photo of Merrin DungeyMerrin: Well, it’s not simply just that I’m her friend and her editor. I’m sort of the engine that keeps the story going, because without what I need from her, that’s what leads her to make the decisions that she makes along the way, and I feel that my character is her moral center and her life raft, like the one outside of everything else that’s happening that she clings to. She is like, this is the person that can help me move things forward. I feel like she’s also a little desperate to please. Where there is a sister like relationship that we have, I feel that it’s a long standing relationship. I was there for the beginning. I probably was the one who discovered her and brought her along and got the first book success, hence why I’ve been on this horse and stuck by her so long through her rehabs, through her ins and outs, and having children and all the whatnot, but my patience runs thin, and I have bosses to answer to at this point as well. So, there is a point at which the rubber meets the road, and I feel that without me, you don’t have the show. You don’t have that engine to keep her chasing what she’s chasing to finish the book.

Question: When you had the pleasure of auditioning for the show, did you actually read any of your character’s lines, or were the sides just totally random stuff in there and they were gauging your connectivity to it all that way?

Merrin: No, it’s all written. I mean, I believe that I added some stuff at the end. This is the thing I miss the most about in person auditions, because I’m great in a room, because I like people, and I like to have fun. I honestly, truly believe that some of my success and things have happened – I mean, like, at the end of the day, when you are auditioning for something for a series that could go for six years, you want to know, “Do I like this person? Do I want to spend time with this person?” That’s part of the game. But I believe I sent some stuff about what I was wearing in my audition. They have you do like the, “Hi, I’m Merrin Dungey, and I live in Los Angeles, and I am willing to -” you know, whatever you say, all the things, like “I’m five, nine,” or whatever your height is, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I made some stupid joke about my pants. Like, I was not wearing [pants]…and I think that that helps. Although I’m fully dressed today. I have high heels on; I do the whole thing.

Suzanne: You look very nice today, by the way. So, it’s been sixteen years since “Alias” went off the air, and I know that both of your characters died, but nobody really dies in those type of shows. Do you think that we’ll ever see a reunion series or movie, and would you do it?

Merrin: Yes. Hopefully. And yes. And yes. Look, Jennifer got us all back together for the most part, for a 20th anniversary. Yeah, it was super, super fun to see everyone and just connect and hang out, but I think that we are all game for that. And I would hope that – I feel that Bad Francie lives. She lives somewhere on, you know, life support somewhere or she’s T-2; she’s a robot. So, it would be great. I would love it very much. I would be wholly disappointed if they did do it, and I did not get to reprise any sort of – I don’t care even if it’s a flashback, but not a flashback to Good Francie, because, who cares?

Question: Merrin, I’ve been watching your acting for, it’s like twenty-ish years now. You’ve played every profession on the planet. And this one, we see you playing Pat’s oldest friend and book editor, but not the first time you’ve worked in the publishing industry on screen. One of my favorite shows ever, You’re the Worst, you were working at a publishing industry.

Merrin: I thought I was a PR agent in that. I was at a publishing agency, but as a PR agent for him, getting him all those interviews.

Question: Related to all that, I’m curious how much work goes into seeking the professions and learning the ins and outs before you’re appearing as that on screen?

Merrin: That’s a great question. Thank you very much. I think I don’t necessarily dive into [it] so heavily, unless it’s like detective work, because that’s so much more foreign to what I know. To play a publishing editor or book editor or even a CEO, there just is sort of like, what’s the gravitas? What is the nature of [how you are] presenting, as opposed to what is it you actually do? Because unless you really see me doing what it is that I have to do, like when I do detective stuff, it’s just kind of, there’s usually a different objective for my character. So, I don’t have to worry so much about what it is that I do as a therapist or any of those sorts of things.

Question: I love this world for you, and it’s such a beautiful relationship that the two of you share, that Pat shares with Kam. What does Kam particularly see in her? I mean, obviously, you mentioned that she probably discovered her, but is there something special that you feel like she initially saw in her, and what continues to have her stand by her side?

Merrin: You know, we all have that friend, don’t we? It’s just kind of like a little bit of a like sister relationship, the one that you kind of need to take care of and put under your wing, and she’s constantly effing up, and I have to [be] like, “Okay, how can we – ” I mean, I certainly have had those people in my life, and I think that that’s what Cam sees in her. There’s talent amongst the ruins, and she wants the best for her. She loves her. She also wants to get paid. You know what I’m saying? Sadly, [there’s] a financial component ultimately here, and there does come a point at which [it’s] like, my neck’s on the line. So, it is a two fold relationship.

Question: They do say “never mix business with pleasure.”

Question: So, she has some great dialogue. Talk about that and how it really plays into kind of like, what I love about her, that snarky side of her and all these great lines that she has.

Merrin: Well, thank you. We get to play. That’s the great thing about the show is that there is room to play, and Courtney’s always game. She’s such a great sparring partner as you can well imagine. She’s so witty and sharp and funny, and Jeff Astrof comes in with the zingers at all times. We played a lot with – you know, anytime you open the scene or you end the scene, there’s a lot of room to sort of have fun and improv and do some stuff. So, from that comes some of the zingers and the stuff…And the late night shoots. You get tired, and then you start saying stuff, and it just happens, and it’s fun.

Question: You do take on so wonderfully these dramatic roles. Is there something about this character or maybe about drama series in general that really draws you to that genre?

Merrin: Well, this is a horror comedy. So, it’s not really a drama, and this is my first time doing that. Although I guess American Horror Stories is sort of like a horror comedy. Look, I go where the goods are. I go where there’s some great fun and good people. I feel like, in my later years in particular, I have been able to work with some [outstanding] – Listen, my entire career I’ve worked with some great people: Aaron Sorkin, Sir Patrick Stewart, Jane Fonda, Meryl Streep, Reese Witherspoon. I’ve been very, very lucky. It’s ridiculous, you know, Bryan Cranston. I mean, it’s crazy. So, I just feel like I fell out of the lucky tree, and I hit every branch on the way down. So, to continue that streak with Greg Kinnear and Mira Sorvino and Courtney Cox, again, it’s like, “Are you kidding?” This is a dream come true. It’s crazy.

Question: You do it so wonderfully.

Merrin: Thank you. Did I answer your question? Because I feel like maybe didn’t answer your question, but, yes, I’m happy to work with great people. I don’t care what they’re doing. I did an online thing with Con Man, I think was an online series with Nathan Fillion, because it was like, “Nathan Fillon, sure, yeah. Alan Tudyk, yep.”

Question: So, you checked a few boxes. You’re in the Star Trek arena, live action and animation, and horror, you’ve done Lucifer, of course. Now, you’re doing this, although you’re not in the horror aspect per se, at least not yet, but what’s it like to kind of play in those playgrounds and to visit those kind of worlds?

Merrin: Awesome. I mean, it’s such a gift. It’s complicated when you do something like a Picard, because doing that is much like doing an ER in an OR kind of thing, because, I don’t know about you, but I don’t know what I’m talking about. You know what I’m saying? Like, I’m not in space. I’m not with the Romulans. I don’t understand what we’re talking about. So, it took me a long time to sort of pull in what I know about what I know and being a television interviewer, and then how does that work? What points am I trying to hit? We had so much rehearsal for that, because it was six big pages with him, with Sir Patrick Stewart, and we had a blast. It was the longest, hardest day of my life, except for when I did the fight with Jennifer, but in terms of concentration and what it is and having to do, you know, I’m like spinning a sphere or something. You’re dealing with things that are CGI that don’t exist. That is complicated. At least when I was doing Once Upon a Time, even though there was CGI in that, it’s still more grounded in terms of what you’re saying. I think that’s the hardest part. It’s harder to play in those playgrounds, because they’re fantastical, so you are trying to pull in what you know about the real world and attribute it to something that doesn’t exist. But for other people, this is really real, and I’m very proud of myself, particularly for Picard, because people are mad at me…I was like, “Good. I did what I was supposed to.” I had no idea what I was talking about! [laughs]

Here is the audio version of it.

SHINING VALE

Season 1 8 Episodes 2022

“Shining Vale” is a horror comedy about a dysfunctional family that moves from the city to a small town into a house in which terrible atrocities have taken place. But no one seems to notice except for Pat, who’s convinced she’s either depressed or possessed – turns out, the symptoms are exactly the same. Patricia “Pat” Phelps (Courteney Cox) is a former “wild child” who rose to fame by writing a raunchy, drug-and-alcohol-soaked women’s empowerment novel (a.k.a. lady porn). Fast forward 17 years later, Pat is clean and sober but totally unfulfilled. She still hasn’t written her second novel, she can’t remember the last time she had sex with her husband (Greg Kinnear), and her teenage kids are at that stage where they want you dead. She was a faithful wife until her one slip-up: she had a torrid affair with the hot, young handyman who came over to fix the sink while Terry was at work. In a last-ditch effort to save their marriage, she and Terry cash in all their savings and move the family from the “crazy” of the city to a large, old house in the suburbs that has a storied past of its own. Everyone has their demons, but for Pat Phelps, they may be real. Cox plays the lead role of Patricia “Pat” Phelps, with Kinnear playing her ever-optimistic husband, Terry Phelps, whose patience and self-control will be tested like never before. Mira Sorvino plays Rosemary, who is either Pat’s alter ego, a split personality, her id, her muse, or a demon trying to possess her. Dungey plays Kam, Pat’s oldest friend and book editor. Gus Birney and Dylan Gage also star as Pat and Terry’s teenage kids, Gaynor and Jake.

In addition to “Shining Vale”, Merrin Dungey will be seen in a recurring role on the up- coming season of “Lucifer”. Fresh from her strong turn as CJ Emerson on ABC’s limited series “The Fix”, Dungey returned to the critically lauded Emmy winning HBO series “Big Little Lies” as Detective Quinlan, appearing on screen with Oscar winners Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman and the legendary Meryl Streep; all nominated for a SAG Award for Best Ensemble. She co-starred as CEO Claire Thorpe on Fox’s “The Resident”, and on a number of ABC hits including “Once Upon A Time” and “Conviction”. Guest star roles range from the groundbreaking turn as Francie Calfo/Alison Doren in the critically acclaimed award-winning “Alias”, and as a Queen of Darkness, Ursula, in “Once Upon A Time”. Other guest appearances include hit shows including “Seinfeld”, “Friends”, “Curb Your Enthusiasm”, “Episodes”, “The West Wing” and “Shameless”. Recurring roles include “Chasing Life”, “Brooklyn 99”, “Malcolm in the Middle”, “Revenge” and over 35 episodes of “The King of Queens”. Dungey is an accomplished stand-up comedian, and has performed in Montreal’s Just For Laughs Festival, as well as on “Premium Blend” on Comedy Central. She has appeared on the big screen opposite Pierce Brosnan in Some Kind of Beautiful and the Warner Bros comedy CHiPs opposite Dax Shepard. She is a UCLA Theater School Graduate and the youngest recipient of the UCLA Annual Acting Award, as well as the Natalie Wood Prize

Recap written by Christine

In the hallway of Newman Locke, Victoria asked Nick what Victor was supposed to be saying to her. Nick was confused. “Dad talked to you. You already know,” he said. Victoria was gettinfg upset because she thought Nick was lying to her. She said she’d always been able to count on him to be honest with her, even if they were disagreeing. She asked what was going on. He wouldn’t respond, so she went back into the office to confront their parents. Nick joined her. Victoria accused everyone in the room of conspiring about her behind her back. “Please tell me what’s going on,” she said. Victor said that Victoria already knew what was going on – he asked her and Ashland to hold off on signing the paper making him a co-CEO until they knew how Ashland’s health was doing. Victoria knew all that, but she also knew everyone was keeping something from her.

“Nicholas assumed that dad had told me something, but when I asked what that something might be, he wasn’t very forthcoming,” Victoria said. “I was just trying too…” Nick started. Victoria replied that she thought he was trying to cover something up. She asked Victor what was going on, given that he seemed to be spying on her and Ashland. Victor said he didn’t need to spy – his name was on the building. Nick pretended that he’d just wanted to ask Victoria about signing the co-CEO contract. She told Nick that he didn’t work here, so he had no business knowing about that. He said that, as her brother, he cared about things that affected her. Nikki said Nick was looking out for Victoria. Victor said he cared too, and he didn’t think Ashland should become co-CEO. Victor said that Victoria had done a damn good job running the company by herself. Victoria knew something else was going on here, but she decided to go check on her husband. “Stay out of my business and leave me and Ashland alone!,” she spat, then she left.

Nick digested the news that Victoria wanted to make Ashland co-CEO. Victor said it was Ashland’s idea – Ashland was inching closer to wanting to take over the company. Nikki was still giving Ashland the benefit of the doubt, and Nick didn’t think she should. Nikki thought there might be more to the story than they knew, but she admitted things weren’t looking good for Ashland. Which was why she’d advised Victoria not to sign the contract. Victor wasn’t going to tell Victoria that Ashland faked his cancer, unless he had no choice. Nick wasn’t comfortable hiding things from Victoria while Victor figured out how to deal with Ashland. Nick said Victoria was furious with them. Victor said that was too bad – it beat the alternative of Ashland taking over the family business. This was why Nick had wanted to stay out of this, but now he couldn’t because he couldn’t turn his back on Victoria, and he had to make sure Ashland paid. Victor said he’d take care of everything. Nick hoped so. He left.

Nikki thought Nick was right to be concerned. She said when Victor confronted Ashland, he didn’t even blink or show any remorse. Victor said Ashland would be gone soon enough. Nikki said Ashland was trapped in a corner, and that was when men like that were dangerous. Nikki said Ashland wouldn’t back down from a fight, the same as Victor. She worried that Victor didn’t have as much of a handle on the situation as he thought he did. Victor said that if Ashland tried anything, Victor would show him no mercy.

Ashland finished his drink and was leaving Society when Nate walked in. Nate had been thinking about Ashland’s job offer, and though they’d need to discuss terms before he could make a decision, he was leaning toward accepting it. Ashland was friendly, but he kind of blew Nate off and kept walking. Nate asked what was going on. Ashland apologized and said not to read anything into his mood. Ashland was late for a meeting, but he wanted to have a discussion with Nate later, maybe over dinner. Concerned, Nate said Ashland seemed frazzled, and he didn’t look well. Ashland said he was fine. Nate said he didn’t mean to pry. Ashland said that his old symptoms had returned, and he was feeling a little nervous.

Nate and Ashland sat down at the bar and Nate asked Ashland about his symptoms. Ashland said that he felt fatigued or had trouble breathing a couple times a week, but it was manageable. It might just be a bug. Nate said that Ashland needed to see his oncologist. Ashland said that was the appointment he’d been on his way to when Nate stopped him. Nate offered to accompany Ashland, for support. Ashland appreciated the offer, but he declined and said he’d call Nate afterward and tell him what the doctor said. Ashland got a text from Victoria saying to call her. She mentioned she was at Crimson Lights. After Ashland left, Nikki and Victor ran into Nate at Society. they started talking about Nate possibly coming to work for Newman Locke. Victor and Nikki’s interest was piqued when Nate mentioned that he just saw Ashland. Nikki asked if Ashland’s health seemed okay. Nate remembered Victor asking about Ashland’s health the last time they talked. Victor said Ashland was family, and they were concerned because the last time they saw him, he had a hard time breathing.

Nate didn’t want to disclose medical information. Victor said he wasn’t asking for test results, just asking if Ashland seemed healthy. Nate admitted Ashland seemed under the weather, but that could be stress or a common cold. Nate left. Victor asked what Nikki thought. Nikki wasn’t ready to condemn Ashland for going to Society when he was supposedly sick. She suggested that he’d come to get some takeout on the way home. “Maybe he wasn’t acting acting at all. Maybe he just isn’t feeling well,” she said. Victor didn’t buy it. Nikki was still struggling with the idea that Ashland lied about his health. Victor knew Nikki didn’t want to believe Ashland had deceived Victoria. Nikki suggested that the doctors lied to Michael and said what they thought Victor wanted to hear in hopes of a big payout. Victor trusted Michael. Nikki thought they needed to be certain before Victor did anything.

At Crimson Lights, Victoria called Ashland. She said she went home to check on him, and he wasn’t there. She was worried. Sharon overheard the call. As Sharon got Victoria’s drink, Victoria asked if Ashland had stopped in. She explained that he’d been feeling sick, and now she didn’t know where he was. Sharon said if she saw Ashland, she’d tell him Victoria was looking for him. Nick showed up and asked Victoria to talk. She was on her way out, but agreed to give him a minute. He didn’t like how they left things at the office. They rehashed the conversation from earlier. He said things hadn’t been the same between them since the wedding, and he hated that. He didn’t want her to shut him out.

Victoria didn’t want to lose the progress she and Nick made, but after today, it was hard for her to believe he was on her side. She knew he didn’t like or respect Ashland. He said he was trying, and she said that was all she wanted. Ashland came in and overheard Victoria say she wanted her family to accept Ashland and stop trying to undermine her happiness. Ashland walked up and put his arm around Victoria. Ashland said he and Victoria wanted Nick to see that Ashland loved and cared about Victoria and would do anything to make her happy. Ashland said there was no need to worry about Victoria where he was concerned, and she didn’t need protecting. Nick said that was good to know. Ashland thought it’d help if Victoria knew Nick was on her side. Nick said he always was. Victoria wanted to believe that. Ashland wanted Victoria to have anything her heart desired. He asked if they could all just work together. Sharon walked up and told Nick that she needed to talk to him about Mariah and Tessa. She took him out to the patio.

Nick asked what was going on with Mariah and Tessa. Sharon just said that to get Nick away from Ashland. Sharon knew Nick well enough to know he was a split second from doing something he’d regret. Nick admitted he was two minutes from losing it on Ashland and confronting him. It would’ve been disastrous because Ashland would’ve denied everything and Victoria would’ve sided with him. Nick said he went to see Victoria earlier and accidentally created a minefield. He said his dad had a plan to get Ashland out of their lives without Victoria ever knowing the truth. He appreciated Sharon pulling him away from Ashland, and he was glad she was always there for him. She said anytime.

Ashland hoped they got through to Nick. Victoria was more concerned about Ashland’s health. She thought he should be home in bed. He was feeling better. She hoped her father’s interference didn’t’ contribute to how he was feeling. He said it was a momentary thing, and he was fine. She was planning to move ahead with their agreement. She asked if he signed the contract. He said not yet. He got a text. “Found another doctor who gave info to Baldwin. Took care of all three of them” it said. Ashland told Victoria that there was something he needed to tell her about Victor.

Phyllis and Jack went to the house in LA that he’d learned about through the mysterious texts. “This is Keemo’s house,” Jack said. He felt nervous, because he didn’t know who or what was at the other side of the door. He knocked and nobody answered, so he was going to leave, but she tried the door, and it was unlocked. They debated whether or not it’d be okay to just walk in. Phyllis figured that the texter left the door unlocked on purpose for Jack. He didn’t agree. Phyllis reasoned that since Keemo’s obituary didn’t mention a wife, Jack was probably next of kin, so he had a right to go into the house. Jack noted that the obituary didn’t mention Keemo’s half-sister either. The half sister had been out of the country for decades. Entering the house didn’t feel right to Jack, but Phyllis said they didn’t come all this way to leave without answers. She opened the door, and he hesitantly went inside and called out asking if anyone was home. Most of Keemo’s personal effects had been moved out, and the furniture was covered, so the walls could be repainted. Jack wondered who packed up the house. He hoped Keemo had someone close in his life.

Jack wondered why someone wanted him to come to this empty house. He felt like he was trespassing. “I feel like Keemo wouldn’t want me here,” he said. Phyllis suggested that Jack see this as a way to reconnect with his son. Jack said Keemo died not wanting anything to do with him. Phyllis told Jack she was here for him, but she wasn’t going to let him second-guess himself. She told him that he chose not to blow off the texts. She thought that this was a way to reconnect with his son. He thought it was too late, but she believed he could at least find out who Keemo became. She added that they could find out who was sending him the texts. He did want to know who the texter was, and he wanted to find out something about Keemo’s life. He wanted to know Keemo built a happy life, even if Jack wasn’t included in it.

They checked the house, and it was all as empty as the living room. Jack wondered if this living room was the place Keemo spent the most of his time – did he enjoy the sunrise here? Sit on this couch and read? It was hard trying to piece together the life of someone you didn’t know well, but who was very important to you. Jack went through a box and found a stack of envelopes addressed to him. Letters written by Keemo, but never sent. Phyllis noted that this was the only box in the house, so it was clear that it was left here for Jack. She was going to leave Jack alone with the letters, but he asked her to stay. Jack noted that Keemo signed all his letters with his birth name, Keemo, not Hao.

In the letters, Keemo was clearly working through his feelings about Jack. Jack didn’t know if Keemo ever planned to mail them or if writing them was a therapeutic exercise. In one letter, Keemo said he tried to let his anger with Jack go, but after he left Genoa City, something inside him wouldn’t be at peace. In another, Keemo apologized for the angry emails he’d sent Jack. Keemo explained that he’d been angry about all the time he’d lost with his mother, because he didn’t know she was dying. Jack said Laun didn’t want anyone to know she was ill. “She didn’t tell me. I found out by accident. Kept it to myself,” Jack told Phyllis. Phyllis said it must’ve been difficult for Jack to keep that from everyone, including Luan. Jack didn’t say anything to Keemo, because he thought he was honoring Luan’s wishes.

“I finally found some peace. I changed my name to Hao Nguyen,” Keemo wrote. Keemo/Hao explained that he was honoring his mother’s memory by taking his maternal grandfather’s the name, and freeing himself from the conflict of being Jack Abbott’s son. “I feel like I’m on a new path,” the letter said, and Jack’s voice broke as he read it. Phyllis assured Jack that he was a great man and an incredible father. Jack said it seemed that Keemo found a way to move on. “I’m no longer angry, but I can’t look back for fear that rage will return. So while I’ve forgiven you, I can’t ever have a relationship with you. It’s better for everyone. I hope that you can understand that and forgive me. Your son, Keemo.”

Phyllis thought Jack was being selfless. She said Keemo chose something that was good for him, but bad for Jack. Jack agreed that it wasn’t good for him. He hated that Keemo never felt comfortable enough to reach out for him, but he was glad Keemo found some forgiveness in his heart at the end. All the letters were written in the last twelve months, as if Keemo knew he didn’t have much longer to live. Phyllis pointed out that the obituary said it was a heart attack. Jack knew that heart attacks were usually sudden, but he wondered if Keemo had received a diagnosis that made him decide to work through these issues. Jack sighed about all the questions, and Phyllis promised they’d get answers.

Phyllis went to the backyard. She returned and reported that it was gorgeous, filled with flowers, and there was an orange tree. She asked if Jack wanted to see it. He wanted to leave, as he was feeling overwhelmed. Phyllis said there were more letters to go through, so he couldn’t stop now. She picked up the letters and found a picture of Keemo, two women and a young girl. She showed it to Jack. On the back, it said Vietnam, June 2012.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nikki: How reliable do you think this doctor’s word is? That ashland would pay the man to alter his medical records? It just seems so far-fetched.

Victor: Sweetheart, michael baldwin was a prosecutor, one of the sharpest legal minds around. He found the testimony credible.

Nikki: Yeah, but, I mean, who knows? This guy doesn’t even work there anymore probably. He could just be a disgruntled employee looking for money or attention or both.

Victor: I have considered all of that, okay? Let me just say that michael is continuing to investigate.

Nikki: I still don’t understand why ashland would lie about his recovery. To what end?

Victoria: Hi.

Nikki: Ohh, victoria. I was just thinking about you.

Victoria: Oh. What’s on your mind?

Nikki: Just wondered how you were doing, how ashland is feeling.

Victoria: We’re both doing well. Thank you.

Nikki: Join me for a cup of tea?

Victoria: Oh, I — I wish i could, but I have to get back to the office.

Nikki: Oh. Is everything alright?

Victoria: Everything is great, mother.

Ashland: Just — just hold on for a second. So — so, it’s confirmed? The american digging up dirt in peru is michael baldwin? Well, that’s just fantastic. Okay. Uh, find him. I want to know everything he’s doing. I want to know what he’s looking for. And listen to me now. Find that doctor right now. Yeah.

[ Sighs heavily ]

Billy: What’s going on, jack? You text me to come over here ’cause you need to talk.

Jack: I wanted to bring the family up to speed on what’s happened and what’s about to happen.

Billy: Okay. Well, you mentioned family, but why is phyllis here?

Phyllis: Oh, because I’m supporting jack ’cause he’s my friend.

Jack: I’m sorry ashley can’t be here. I will fill her in, as well as kyle, as soon as I have some more answers.

Billy: Answers on what?

Jack: About my son — keemo.

Victor: Son.

Adam: Dad. I, uh — I was actually gonna call you. I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night after our conversation. Couldn’t stop thinking about what you, uh, hinted at.

Victor: Yeah. Neither can I.

Adam: What is this issue brewing with victoria and ashland? I mean, you asked if you could count on me, and I said that you could, but I cannot help if you’re not gonna let me in on what’s going on. Nick. What are you doing here?

Nick: I have no idea.

Victor: I asked your brother to come here, okay?

Nick: I don’t know if I’d go with “asked.” It was more like commanded. What’s going on?

Victor: My boys, I have some news for you that will change everything.

I may have moderate to

severe rheumatoid arthritis.

Billy: Is keemo okay?

Jack: No, I’m afraid not. I have a received a series of mysterious, anonymous text messages encouraging me to go to an address in los angeles. Phyllis helped me try to get to the bottom of it. We found that the owner of the property was someone named hao nguyen. That is keemo’s grandfather’s name. With a little more work, we learned that keemo had taken his name. With still more digging, we learned that three weeks ago, my son passed away.

Billy: [ Sighs ] I’m so sorry. I… was he ill?

Jack: I-I don’t know any of the details. I’m still in a bit of shock.

Billy: Well, when was the last time you talked to him?

Jack: I haven’t seen or heard from him in years.

Billy: Years? Every time I asked you about him, you said that you were in contact with him.

Jack: I know what I led you to believe. I wasn’t completely honest about that. Keemo cut me out of his life soon after his mother died. He felt betrayed that I didn’t tell him how sick she was, and he never forgave me for it.

Billy: But he made his peace before he left town, did he not?

Jack: He did. No sooner was he out of town than that resentment grew and he turned his back on me. And I had trouble accepting that, and I kept thinking that he’d change his mind, he’d come back to me, and so I convinced people that things were strong and good between us.

Billy: I’m so sorry. I didn’t know. And given this — the situation, I’m sure this is, uh, even more shocking.

Jack: Yeah, it’s been quite a lot. Anyway, I am leaving for los angeles later today.

Billy: For the funeral? Well, just give me a couple minutes and I can pack my bags and I can —

Jack: I don’t know that there’s going to be any kind of funeral service. I don’t know what I’m walking into. All I know is what I have from these texts, the address, and that’s where I’m gonna start — at keemo’s former home. This may just turn out to be a trip to make decisions about keemo’s estate, however big or small.

Billy: Of course.

Jack: But for his sake, I’ve got to follow this wherever it may lead.

Victor: Boys, something very serious has come up, something that relates to newman empire and to the entire family.

Nick: Alright, what is this about? And if it involves the family or the business, victoria should be here.

Adam: Well, probably because it is about victoria and ashland. Dad asked me to keep an eye on him.

Victor: Exactly right. We need to find a way to protect not only our family, but especially victoria.

Nick: Protect her from what? If it’s such a big deal, why is this the first time I’m hearing about it?

Victor: Because I’m waiting for confirmation from michael baldwin, who is in peru digging for more information.

Nick: Peru? Is that where ashland went for his miracle cure?

Victor: Yes.

Adam: What, uh, did you find out?

Victor: It puts into question everything we have ever thought about ashland locke and his motives.

Nick: I don’t want to hear any more about this. If michael baldwin is involved, he’s probably out just digging up dirt.

Victor: Trust me, son. You want to hear this.

Nick: No, the last time i trusted you, dad, and i investigated ashland, it hurt my relationship with victoria, and it’s never been the same since. And I don’t want to risk making it worse by going down that path again.

[ Door opens ]

Victoria: Oh, hello there.

Ashland: Hello.

Victoria: You were up and out so early this morning. I thought you could use some coffee.

Ashland: Well, thank you very much, but I think we might need something a little stronger to celebrate.

Victoria: What are we celebrating?

Victor: Business affairs has drafted the new contract that, uh, changes my title to — let’s see — ah, yes, co-ceo of newman/locke.

Victoria: Already?

Ashland: [ Chuckles ]

Victoria: Wow. The lawyers usually take forever with all of the legalese and fine print.

Ashland: Well, I asked them to put a rush on it.

Victoria: Really? Why did you do that?

Ashland: Well, because, uh, more — more so now than ever, I’ve come to realize that every second of life matters, that we have to take advantage of every precious moment we have and not waste any time. And that’s why I’m also looking forward to starting this new phase of our partnership.

Victoria: You know this contract — it doesn’t really change anything between us.

Ashland: Mm.

Victoria: We’re already equal partners in every way. And, you know, we can also take our time dotting all the I’s and crossing all the t’S. Don’t you think?

Ashland: Well, I’ve already been here for a couple of hours. You know, some of us come in here early. And I’ve already looked over the contract. It is sound. These guys in business affairs — they know their stuff. It is an excellent contract. I’m ready to sign right now. Unless, of course, you’ve changed your mind. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Victoria: What would make you think that I’ve changed my mind? You’ve made quite a compelling case.

Ashland: Well, I think so, but you were hesitant at first, and I just want you to feel comfortable. Look, the last thing I want is for you to feel like you’re being pressured into something you don’t want to do. If you’re having second thoughts about this, now is the time to say it. But, victoria, our relationship is the most important thing in the world to me. I don’t want to do anything to jeopardize that. So, if you want to take a little more time on this, that’s fine. If you want to leave things exactly how they are, that’s fine. I would understand that.

Victoria: I appreciate that. But the original agreement was drawn up because, at the time, we were all very worried about your health. And now look at you. You’re in remission. And that changes everything. And, you know, you should be more than just my advisor. You should be my equal in business, just like you are in our marriage. Right? So, it’s time that we take the next step and we make you co-ceo.

Adam: Nick, aren’t you the least bit curious?

Nick: I learned my lesson. Any curiosity about ashland gets you burned. And I’m surprised you want to investigate him again, dad. I mean, you were his biggest champion and defender. I mean, what turned?

Victor: Let me be up front with both of you. I never really trusted that man from the moment he came into our lives, okay? So kindly just listen to what i have to say, and then you can make your decision, alright?

Nick: I made my decision about what I think about ashland a long time ago, and you know that. If you recall, I was left out of any of the conversations that had to do with dealing with this man’s lies in italy. You didn’t want to hear what i had to say. Why am I being involved now?

Victor: There are new developments. I’ve learned things about ashland locke that will not only affect our business, the newman empire, but our entire family, including you. I’ve learned things about him that will shock you. And there are things that are more repulsive than anything we’ve ever learned about him.

Billy: I’m sorry that you, uh — you felt the need to have to cover up what was really going on. I don’t like the fact that you had to paint this rosy, “everything’s fine” picture for us.

Jack: I didn’t just paint it for you. I painted it for me. It was self-defense, a wall i built to keep the pain away.

Billy: Well, nothing you just said changes anything for me, okay? And if you let me, I’d like to come to L.A. To be there for you.

Jack: No, no, no, I meant what I said. I don’t — I don’t need you. I don’t even know what I’m walking into.

Billy: Well, that’s even more reason why I should be there for you. Jack, this — this kind of pain, this kind of grief — I know it, okay? It shuts your brain down. You end up not being able to think clearly. So let me be there for you to support you, please. Will you let me? Why do dermatologists worldwide recommend la roche-posay?

Jack: I’m sorry. I really feel I need to do this alone.

Traci: Jack, I agree with billy. Now is the time to rely on your family. You’ve kept us at arm’s length way too long. You’ve been living with all of this alone. I appreciate that you’ve told us what’s happening, but I’m asking you, please take the next step. Let us all the way in. You can’t go on doing this. That’s why I want to go to los angeles with you.

Billy: She’s right. We should both go.

Phyllis: Well, we should all go. All of us. Jack, you’ve… I mean, you’ve always been there for us. Let us be there for you.

Traci: Jack, I know how hard this is gonna be to face. We know what it’s like to lose a child, and I know this, too — no matter how well you think you’re handling all of this, the pain is going to be waiting to resurface cruelly, when you least expect it. That’s why I want to be there by your side through this.

Jack: I appreciate the offer. I really do. But that is the best reason for you and billy not to be any part of this. I don’t want my losses to compound yours.

Billy: No, you don’t need to worry about us. We can handle it, okay? We need to be there for you. In fact, I don’t want you going anywhere alone.

Jack: Fine. I won’t go there alone. Phyllis has been instrumental in getting me through the first part of this puzzle. If you’re able to get away, I’d like you to go with me.

Billy: Jack, I understand phyllis has been helpful, but, uh, she’s not family.

Jack: I appreciate what you’re saying. This is what I need to do. This is what is best for me. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go get packed.

Phyllis: If you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go get packed. I mean, I know you’re both upset because jack chose me to go to los angeles with him, but I want you to know that I have his best interests at heart.

Traci: Phyllis, I know how much you care about him, but i also know that your relationship has been on tenuous ground for months now. So I’m asking you — please, can you put that aside?

Phyllis: Traci, traci, traci —

Traci: No, no, jack is really fragile right now.

Phyllis: I understand he’s fragile. I get it. He’s on edge. I understand. I care about him, too. Listen, I think getting to the bottom of this mystery will help him with his loss. I will take care of him. I promise you.

Traci: [ Sighs ]

Nikki: Excuse me.

Ashland: Oh!

Nikki: Did I hear you correctly? You’re changing your titles to co-ceo?

Victoria: Yes, mom. As a matter of fact, we are.

Nikki: Well, I thought ashland was very happy serving as an advisor.

Victoria: Well, that was before his recovery.

Ashland: Yeah, I’m feeling much better now, more like my old self. You know, I’m really wanting to get in there, take a little more responsibility, maybe have a stronger hand in running things around here.

Nikki: Oh, well, I would say you already have a strong hand at newman/locke. I’ve seen the deference you’re treated with. They clear the halls when they see you coming down.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] That’s only because I’m standing next to, you know, her. No, look, what I need is for people — the employees here — to respect me in the same way they respect victoria, at an equal level.

Nikki: Uh-huh. Um, do you think that’s the right way to go about it?

Victoria: Yes, mom, it is the right thing to do, given the new circumstances. And please don’t think it will in any way change your role here.

Nikki: I’m not worried about that at all. I mean, I don’t need a contract or a title to feel secure about my position here. I’m just surprised because victor never said anything to me about this.

Victoria: Well, that’s because we didn’t feel like it was necessary to tell him.

[ Door closes ]

Victor: So, michael baldwin has discovered that ashland locke told us a whole story about that clinic in peru that supposedly had a life-saving therapy for his cancer. He didn’t go there for that reason. He has been funneling money to that place for years through a shell company.

Adam: Why would he do that?

Victor: He said he had to do that because of some international tax law. I thought that was bogus. So I told michael baldwin to go down there and investigate the situation.

Adam: Well, something definitely sounds shady.

Victor: Well, michael baldwin talked to a physician who worked at that clinic. And he had that physician talk on camera and testify to the fact that ashland locke went down there to have them falsify his medical records.

Nick: Why would he lie about his recovery?

Adam: Yeah, I mean, why do something cruel like that and let victoria believe they have more time than they did, give her some false sense of hope?

Nick: Who does that? And what does it mean? Is ashland still dying?

Victor: Guys, you’re both missing the point. The point is, ashland locke was never sick at all. Goal!

“The young and the restless”

will continue. Lactaid is 100% real milk, just without the lactose.

[ Glass thuds ]

Nick: Are you sure ashland is faking his illness?

Adam: Yeah. How can that be?

Nick: I mean, you got any proof? Because if this is all you’ve got, some disgruntled employee, it’s not enough to destroy victoria’s life.

Victor: Michael baldwin ran into another physician who used to work at at that clinic who corroborated everything the other doctor had told him. Ashland locke never went there for any treatment. He was never ill.

Nick: I don’t get how this is possible. Didn’t victoria go with ashland to new york after he received his diagnosis, where he was then given confirmation that he is terminally ill?

Victor: I believe so.

Adam: Yeah, and he was undergoing chemo here in genoa city with a doctor.

Nick: And this is long before he received any treatments in peru.

Victor: That is how nefarious and deep ashland locke’s deception is.

Adam: Okay, so, for this to be true, his doctor in new york would have to be in on it, or he would have to pay money for false records to get a doctor to say he was sick when he was perfectly healthy. So, what about the doctor here?

Nick: So he was lying about going through chemo.

Victor: If you remember, he never wanted anything to accompany him to his appointments.

Adam: But what about nate? He was also consulted. I mean, out of nowhere, ashland asked him to be his best man at the wedding. So, was he in on the scam, too?

Victor: I don’t think he has anything to do with it.

Nick: So, if what you’re saying is true and he was lying this whole time about being sick, he is now pretending to be miraculously cured.

Victor: That’s right.

Adam: So, what are you going to do now?

Victor: My boys, I have enough evidence to deal with that man. And I will deal with him.

Nikki: Victoria, I really think that it’s a mistake for you to do something like this without your father’s input. Victor needs to know.

Victoria: It’s not dad’s decision to make. It’s mine and mine alone.

Nikki: Yeah. Well, a plan of your own will cease to exist once you sign that agreement.

Victoria: I realize that.

Nikki: I mean, you have done such an amazing job controlling the company that your father built from nothing. Victor has always been your strongest advisor. I mean, the least you can do is let him know what you’re planning. You owe him that much.

Victoria: I guess you’re right. I think we should let my father know before it’s a done deal.

Nikki: Oh, well… ashland, I hope that you’re not offended. I mean, of course I am thrilled to learn that you are doing so well. And we want you to be around for a good long time. You make my daughter so happy. That makes me happy.

Ashland: I am not offended.

[ Chuckles ] I would not want to make a change like this that’s so important without the blessing of all the newmans.

Traci: [ Sighs ] I still cannot believe jack kept so much pain private for so long.

Billy: I know. And we all just trusted him and believed him when he said that he and keemo were in touch and that, you know, they had made peace.

Traci: And I hate that he felt like he had to maintain this lie. He couldn’t trust us with the truth? It must have been devastating to live with that secret.

Billy: Every time I asked him about keemo, his response was very quick. Now that I think about it, it was almost too quick. Like, I didn’t even have a second to ask him how his son was doing. He’d almost just kind of moved on already.

Traci: And I feel terrible about it. I mean, why didn’t I notice this and ask questions? Maybe I could have coaxed the truth out of him. For god’s sake, I’m a writer. I’m obsessed with language and the use of words. Why didn’t I notice that he was being purposefully vague?

Billy: I hear you. I get it. Honestly, traci, we can’t do anything about that now.

Traci: You’re right.

Billy: We just be here for him.

Traci: Because we both know the hell that’s headed this way, and when it hits, it is going to hit hard.

Billy: What’s going on here? I mean, somebody sending him anonymous text messages? Do you know anything about this? All he said was that they were mysterious.

Traci: And that’s what I know about them — very mysterious. Someone is sending them, and they are not willing to identify themselves. They’re telling jack to go to los angeles, where he is going to find a world he never knew existed, and he’ll be sorry if he doesn’T.

Billy: I don’t like it. Somebody’s hiding something, and jack is vulnerable right now. It’s not good.

Traci: I agree. And I raised all of these concerns with him. But phyllis has been pushing him from the very beginning to pursue this. She thinks it would be best for him to focus on finding out what really happened with keemo.

Billy: Well, I guess I’m not the only person that thinks taking phyllis is a bad idea, for no other reason than it’s phyllis. Trouble is going to follow her. We know that.

Traci: I just don’t know if there’s anything that we can do to change his mind at this point.

Billy: You’re probably right.

Traci: I feel so helpless. Ugh. But I can do something. You know what? Sustenance. The last thing he’s gonna think about is getting something to eat, so I’m gonna run out and get some food for the trip, okay?

Billy: I can stay. I don’t think he should be alone right now.

Traci: Thank you, honey. I’ll be back shortly.

Billy: Okay, I’ll see you in a bit.

[ Door closes ]

Jack: Wow, it seems the room has cleared out.

Billy: Yeah, it has, and now it’s just the two of us. Brother to brother, I got to ask you — are you sure about this? When I get a migraine,

Jack: I assure you I can handle this trip to L.A.

Billy: Well, I hope you’re right, jack, because, you know, you said it yourself — you’re not sure what you’re walking into.

Jack: Billy, I have no choice. There’s too much I don’t know about my son — where he lived, how he lived, how he survived these last several years. What did he do? How did he die? There’s too much I missed that I don’t know. I need some closure.

Billy: Jack, unfortunately, i don’t think closure comes when you’re talking about the death of a child. That’s not the kind of pain you put on a shelf and just lock away. Look, I understand you needing to find answers. And a lot of times, the imagination can be worse than the truth.

Jack: Thank you for understanding that.

Billy: I hope you find your answers. And if you need anything, you call me and I’m out on the next flight.

Jack: I know that. I can always count on you.

Billy: And I would be remiss if I didn’t say this, so I’m going to. You be careful, and you make sure that phyllis has your best interests at heart, not her own.

Jack: Phyllis is my close friend. I trust her implicitly. She has proven time and again that she has my back. That is why I am taking her with me.

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Ah, traci, please. I’m going with jack. Please don’t try to talk me out of this, okay?

Traci: Phyllis, phyllis, stop. That’s not what I’m here for. Listen, unlike billy, I just wanted to tell you I’m very grateful that you’ve decided to go with jack on this trip.

Phyllis: Well, I’m surprised to hear you say that.

Traci: Why? I understand why jack would prefer to take you over billy and me.

Traci: Yes, yes, we can relate to losing a child. But I can see that jack is on the edge.

Phyllis: Yeah, he’s very torn.

Traci: And I’m also afraid that this wall that he’s built around his feelings with keemo for all of these years — at any moment, it could just come crumbling down. And I think he senses it, and i think he’s terrified. And at some level, I think he also knows that if this situation were to re-ignite our grief over the loss of our own children, he wouldn’t be able to handle it. And he needs his reserves for what he’s going to face.

Phyllis: Exactly. I think you’re right.

Traci: And as much as I want to be there for jack, I think it’s better that he doesn’t have to worry about my feelings, that he can focus on his own.

Phyllis: That’s very nice of you. Jack is very lucky to have such a considerate sister.

Traci: Well, I’m counting on you, phyllis, to give him what he needs.

Phyllis: [ Scoffs ] I’ll do that.

Traci: Phyllis, I know that there is a mystery to be solved here. And jack could not have picked a better partner to help him get to the bottom of whatever this is. But first and foremost, please, please take care of my brother. Protect his big heart.

Adam: I still can’t get my head around why ashland would go to such extreme. I mean, was this merely a ploy to win over victoria out of sympathy? What, does he not trust his abilities to win her over on his own?

Victor: Far more sinister than that. It’s a long con with a very bad end game. And I wonder how long he’s been planning this.

Nick: This goes beyond any of past crimes.

Victor: You know what he was after? Power and control over two huge business empires — newman enterprises and his own.

Adam: Why would he need to resort to faking cancer for that? The guy’s almost as good at making deals as you are.

Victor: Because it made people feel empathetic. They felt sorry for him. And everyone fell for it, including victoria. And she fell deeply. But so did most of us. Except you, son. And I had my doubts about the son of a bitch from the beginning.

Nick: Well, I wish I was wrong about it, but I knew that he was just a liar and a criminal. And he took advantage of victoria’s love for his own greed and financial gain. I’m gonna kill him. Truth is… I’ve never really known how to care for my hardwood floors.

Traci: I can’t imagine for a moment you remembered to eat something, so I got you some sandwiches and fruit and snacks for the trip for you and phyllis, and you’ve got to keep your strength up. Phyllis, make sure he follows instructions.

Jack: Thank you for looking out for me. You always know what’s best.

Traci: I just wish I could do more. But you’re in good hands, and you need to keep in touch with us. Let us know what you find.

Jack: Okay. A lot’s gonna be going on. I might not be great at telephone calls and…

Phyllis: I’ll keep you updated.

Jack: Well, I guess we should go.

Billy: You be careful. And you promise me you’ll stay on guard.

Jack: I promise. You ready?

Phyllis: Yeah. The question is, are you?

Jack: Well, I’m as ready as I’ll ever be. I want to know what’s on the other end of these texts. And if I don’t get closure, at least I want to find out more about the man my son became. Love you.

Traci: Love you.

Nikki: Ashland, I think it’s very wise of you to want victor’s blessing. After all, he has been your biggest defender through all the crises we have had to face. Why would this be any different?

Ashland: Uh, because this is not a crisis? This is more of a celebration of my recovery. Think of it as a crisis averted.

Nikki: Well, that’s, uh, one way to look at it.

Ashland: Yeah. Uh, if you two will excuse me, I, uh — I have some things i need to tend to.

[ Clears throat ]

[ Door closes ]

Victoria: Mom…are you okay? You seem like you’re troubled.

Nikki: No. Uh, I-I’m a little tired, that’s all. Other than that, I’m fine.

Victoria: Okay, good. I’m glad to hear it. So, if there is nothing wrong, then do you want to tell me what’s on your mind?

Nikki: Victoria, you really need to speak to your father about this title change. He needs to know.

Victoria: Okay. I — I understand. I get it. I’ll go talk to dad.

Nikki: Good. And if for some reason, that doesn’t happen… I will certainly tell him.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Ashland: Uh, dr. Reilly? Yeah. No, I have not given anyone permission to look at my medical records, nor will I. Thank you.

[ Sighs heavily ]

Victor: Okay, I understand your anger, my boy. I feel the same, okay? This man has managed to infiltrate our family and is threatening to destroy the empire that I built for decades. No one does that.

Nick: Forget the empire. What are we gonna do about the damage to victoria?

Victor: Don’t forget the empire, son. Part and parcel of the same thing. In regards to victoria, we have to tread very carefully. This news will be devastating to her.

Adam: So, what do you suggest do? I don’t see how we do this without upsetting her.

Victor: Son, I’ll handle him my way.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 [ Dramatic music plays ] Elizabeth: Oh, god. So good to have you back safe and sound. You must be relieved that peter’s dead. Mm. I’m especially relieved that maxie is safe and she is finally reunited with her daughter. Drew, peter held y ou prisonerfor just about two years and kept you away from your own daughter. And killed my brother. Yeah. So yeah, I’m — I’m glad he’s dead. And I feel…I don’t know. I feel kind of free. And now that I do, I’M… thinking about my future. Sorry I missed the staff meeting. How’d it go? It was great. How are the kids? Oh, they’re good. That’s not why I was late. Um… I was late because I went to file my divorce papers. Already? Already. Honey, how do you feel? Like a failure. Did you forget something?

[ Exhales deeply ] You are an absolute lifesaver. I have a huge exam to study for, and all of my notes are on this. I-I figured. What’s going on?

[ Down-tempo music plays ] Um, my mom called. She filed the papers, so the divorce is in motion. She just wanted me to be prepared for questions from donna and avery and help them transition, so… I am so sorry that you r familyis going through this, michael. And I hate bringing this up, but I think now’s the time. Time for what? To have a talk about nina. Thank you so much for indulging my cravings. Well, only because you agreed to share.

[ Chuckles ] You better get your own.

[ Both laugh ]

[ Down-tempo music playing ] I don’t care what carly thinks about me. I don’t care what anyone thinks about me anymore. I just want to move on with my life. With sonny. I care about sonny! I do. But we are not together. Does he know that? That is nina. Hey, nina. Long time no see. Hey! It’s nice to see you. You look great. You look beautiful. Aunt stella! Wow. This is my lucky day, huh? I’d ask you guys to join me, but I’m actually gonna leave. I’ve been dawdling, waiting to see if I could talk to phyllis, but she’s not gonna be here till later. Oh! I’m so sorry we missed her. I like phyllis, too. Yeah. She’s great. She always knows the perfect thing to say, and I really needed that today. Well, then it’s a good thing that we came to charlie’S. So, what’s on your mind, nina? What “strange things” have been happening to elizabeth? Well, there was A… fire at franco’s art studio. The police think it was arson. Really? Really. And then, you know, the night of our first date, uh, elizabeth found her wedding ring in her locker at work, which was a little bizarre, because she had left it at home. And then — there’s more? Yeah, there’s more. She was gonna donate some clothing, and she discovered the dress she wore when she married franco had been completely cut to shreds. It’s suspicious that everything had significance to franco. Yeah, it is. You know, we thought maybe one of the boys was having a problem with, you know, me seeing their mom. Those are…sophisticated pranks for kids. Agreed. Then again, these boys aren’t little kids anymore.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

[ Gasps ]

Cameron. Mom, I am so sorry. I did not mean to startle you. Are you okay? I’m — I’m sorry. I didn’t hear you come in. I just… I was so distracted… by the portrait. Wait. T-that’S… that’s the portrait of you that franco painted. I-I thought it was destroyed in the fire. So did I. But when I walked in, it was just — it was just here. I never thought I would see it again. Hold on. You — you didn’t put it there? No. No. Was it here when you got home? Yeah. But that was like 10 minutes ago. I crashed at carter’s dorm room. Mom, what’s going on? I’m not sure. Aiden spent the night at laura’s last night, a-and jake is on an overnight trip with the school, so I slept at the hospital. As far as I know, nobody’s even been home for the past 24 hours, which means whoever put that there was… in our house. I need to check on the boys and make sure they’re okay and where they’re supposed to be. Mom, what should I do? Call the police. Chase: Okay. Whoever’s doing this had access to elizabeth’s wedding ring, which means they also had access to her house and knew where her locker was at general hospital. Do you remember what day it was, or if her locker showed any signs of being tampered with? Because we can check the footage at general hospital — whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down. I’m not even sure elizabeth wants you to know about this. Well, then what are we gonna do about it? Okay. You’re my brother, so I told you. But I think we need to wait and see what elizabeth wants to do about it. How much longer until you’re reinstated, anyway? A few months. [ Exhales deeply ] I can’t wait. Any idea what you’re gonna do in the meantime? I haven’t given it much thought. But don’t — don’t worry about me. I’ll — I’ll be fine. Remember how I told you I ran into nina the other night at the hospital? The night that I found out about her and my dad? Yes. She made a point of asking if there was a way for her to see wiley, even if she and carly could never get along. And I’m guessing she skipped past the part where my mom had just found her and my dad in bed together. She played me, michael. She intentionally held back about what she’d done, knowing full well something that monumental would have ramifications for our whole family and, of course, affect her relationship with wiley. Look, you know how I feel about nina, but my dad does not get a pass. He’s just as much to blame. It is a pattern with nina. She — she reaches out, makes a pitch for access to wiley, and carefully omits whatever objectionable things she’s done. I-I don’t want to keep wiley from family members who love him, but I think you were right all along. Nina…is not the type of person I want in wiley’s life. I know exactly what I want, ’cause I’m starving. Can I get you something? No, thank you. I’m good. Auntie, would you please get me a double order of what you’re having?

[ Chuckles ] Coming right up. Wow.

[ Laughs ] Okay. She won’t be gone long. You better talk fast. What is going on with you and does it have to do with sonny? Wow. That was a quick change of subject. Come on, nina. The last time I saw you was at the savoy, and you defused tensions between sonny and my father. Yeah. He wasn’t himself that night. Yeah. I kind of came to that conclusion myself. But your dad — I’ve never seen anyone stand up to sonny like that. Apparently, it’s not his first time dealing with a man of sonny’s caliber. Interesting. How do you feel about that? Nice deflection, nina. I just accepted it. And I accepted the fact that I’m never gonna get the answers that I want from marshall, so I let it go. And it definitely eased tensions between my father and me. But then things changed.

[ Sighs ] Olivia: It’s 5:00 somewhere.

[ Chuckles ] I know I made the right decision. It’s just hitting me really hard. Of course it is — ’cause you’re not a robot. Want to talk about it? No. I-I think I should just work. No. No, no, no, no. No, honey. Honey, forget work. Just lay it on me, okay? What — what is the strongest emotion you’re feeling right now? Disappointment. I mean, obviously in sonny, but in myself because I just want to be done with it. Yeah. I want so badly not to care. And I keep asking myself over and over again, “what happened?” I mean, how could my marriage be over? How could I mean so little to sonny in the end? I… but then I know I have to stop myself because whatever sonny does or however sonny feels, it’s not my problem anymore. I am considering a leadership position at aurora, taking a more active role. And I know that you hired michael to head up digital. He’s doing a great job, right? Those numbers are solid. So I don’t want to step on what he’s doing, but…I do have ideas of where the company should go. You don’t need my approval. You realize that you still own the company? And now that jax has divested due to conflict of interest, you can implement anything you want.

[ Cellphone beeps ] I say go for it. All right. You know what? Um… great. I have — I have another appointment. I have to run. Okay. And you have my full support. Hey. So, are we doing this? Oh. Doing this? What are we doing? Um… aw. Well, I took the liberty of, uh, planning a little… something to help you, uh, process your emotions. Okay.

[ Laughter ]

[ Up-tempo rock music plays ] Are we really doing this? Damn straight. Let’s throw some axes, ladies.

[ Laughs ]

[ Axes thudding ]

Did something happen to sourthings between you and your dad? I thought you were making progress with marshall. We were. Where’s the food? It’s coming. You were saying? Well, you know, um, portia and i are moving in together, and so the equation has changed. Well, that’s great news! I’m glad things are working out for you. Thanks. They are, you know, but, um, with my situation changing, I just need to know more about my father’s past. I thought you had made your peace with that. You know, I was keeping an open mind. I mean, marshall, of his own admission, said that he got mixed up with some dangerous people. So now that portia is gonna be living with me, I need to know that I am not putting her life at risk. So if I’m gonna let marshall in my life, I need to know more about his. Give him time. It’s not dependent on marshall anymore. Drew is helping me find out what marshall’s been hiding.

[ Cellphone chimes ] I-I’m so sorry. Oh, you know what? I wish I could stay, but I got to go, okay? It’s so nice to see you. Oh, you too, sweetheart. I’ll see you soon. And you? Yes. Nina. I love you. Okay. Love you, too, nina. Be safe. Likewise. Bye, darling. Bye. Curtis, are you out of your damn mind? Absolutely not. I just want to protect the people I love. How? What exactly are you planning? I’m glad you gave me a call. I had to admit you had me curious at this proposition.

[ Chuckles ] Here. Well, now that I’m back in town permanently, I, uh… I’m getting involved my media company again and… well, I’m — I’m not exactly sure how much you know about my past. Curtis told me that you had been presumed dead for two years but you had really been captured by this august guy you just took down. Sad but true. Yes. Yeah. I’ve been doing some reading about you online. I know you’re a member of the quartermaine family and also about your twin brother who died. You did your homework. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. I, uh, always like to know about the people I’m potentially doing business with. I hope — I hope that doesn’t make you feel uncomfortable. No, no. Not at all. I feel exactly the same way. You know, I, um — I wouldn’t pretend to know the first thing about life or love. I just want my little brother to find the happiness he deserves. If there’s anything you need, I’m here for you. I know. Thanks. Yeah.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Excuse me. It’s, uh — it’s elizabeth. Yeah. Hey. Uh — uh, I’m sorry. I just — I came over to chase’s, and I’m on my way over right now. Finn, someone broke into my house. Are you and the boys okay? Yes. Nobody was home. Good. That’s good. Uh, was anything taken? I-I don’t know. I haven’t even had a chance to look. Do you remember I told you about that painting franco did of me? Yeah. Yeah. You were sorry ’cause you didn’t bring it home and it got — it got destroyed in the — the fire at his studio. Except it didn’T. Somehow, that painting survived. And whoever broke in placed it front and center in my house. Cameron: Hey, mom. They’re here. I have to go. The police are here. Okay. I’m on my way. I’m on my way. What happened? Someone broke into elizabeth’s house. Hang on. I’m coming with you. No. Uh, you showing up at a crime scene while you’re on — on suspension may not be a good look. Damn it. Well, you — you got to call me and you keep me posted on everything. Absolutely. Be good. I am all for keeping nina away from wiley, especially now. But I don’t know.Something tells me that we — we should take our time, you know, look at the situation from all angles so we know that emotion isn’t driving our decision. The bottom line is we both want what’s best for wiley. Well, I’m glad I talked to you about this. Look, I’m — I’m really angry with nina right now for a variety of reasons, but we don’t know what will happen in the future, right? Carly and sonny could reconcile.

[ Scoffs ] I mean, I love your optimism, but I wouldn’t hold your breath. Hey, I thought chase would never forgive me after he found out about us, but we found a way past the pain and…betrayal, and he found a way to forgive me — at least until I kind of blew everything up again. I think you mean “we.”

[ Sighs ] We — we judged brook lynn and chase for sleeping together when the whole time, they were actually trying to protect maxie’s baby. Okay. We definitely owe them an apology. I especially owe one to brook lynn. Hey, actually, you know what? Why — why don’t we, uh — why don’t we stop by there tonight? Can you pull yourself away from… I can’T. I have a big exam tomorrow. But if you want to go without me, I’ll make sure to touch base with them afterwards. Yeah, that works. Study hard. I’ll see you at the house, okay? Okay. I’ll try not to be too late. Okay.

[ Sighs ]

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Hey.You all right? Yeah, I’m okay. I’m just a little freaked out. Yeah. Yeah. Dante: Hey, finn. Hey. Dante. So, there’s no evidence of forced break-in anywhere. Could this person have stolen a key? I used my key to get in. Me too. What about your brothers? Well, they both have their own house keys, yes, but aiden’s at school, and jake, he’s at the library doing a project. There’s a hidden key out front, but only the boys and i know about it. Of course, franco knew. Well, I guess whoever broke in could’ve used that one. This painting — you’re sure that it was at franco’s studio at the time of the fire? Yes. I hadn’t moved it. Well, then it sure seems like on the surface that whoever this arsonist is is the same person who broke into your house. Oh, my god.

[ Down-tempo music plays ] I think I know who did this. I want to expand into the jazz arena. With aurora’s reach, I-I really believe that we can help talented artists connect with their audiences. But I got to confess — I… I mean, I’m not even a novice. I know — I know little to nothing about jazz at all. So I need expert advice. I need…a consultant or a concierge, if you will — somebody who really has a feeling for the music and the history and — and where it’s evolving. Sounds like I’m your man. I need your experience is what I need. Exactly. Good. Let’s talk about you and your background. Have you always strictly been a gig musician? It’s how I made the majority of my money. But, you know, that life is feast or famine, so from time to time, I had to take a variety of jobs in order to pay the bills. What about now? Oh, man. I haven’t had a steady gig since being in port charles. I’m starting over. I’m trying to re-establish myself. Well, I know the feeling. I suppose you do. Oh, man.

[ Laughing ] Come on. I know what this is. Curtis put you up to this, didn’t he? Didn’t he? Drew is just helping me get answers to the questions that marshall refuses to answer. Oh, in other words, you’re sneaking around. No good has ever come from that. Auntie, I was a former P.I. Sometimes sneaking around is the only way to get to the truth. Now, if it was up to me, I could let it go. But I have portia and trina to consider. Marshall left his family for decades. That speaks volumes for — for how dangerous the folks that he’s running from are. Portia knows everything about your father that you know, and she’s still in. Give her credit for making her own choices. Okay. But what about trina? I don’t want to gamble with her safety. I-I-I pulled her out of danger one time, and I don’t want to put her back in it again. I need complete answers. I understand that, curtis. I’m just worried you’re going about it in the wrong way. Instead of you and drew sneaking around into marshall’s past like spies, why don’t you just do like I’ve suggested and talk to him? Auntie, I have tried repeatedly. It’s — with marshall, it’s always a dead end. Now, he’s made it abundantly clear that he’s only gonna tell me so much. Now, I know you have your opinions, aunt stella, but could you please trust that I know what I’m doing? You remember when I interfered with you and portia’s relationship? How could I forget? I stuck my nose in where it didn’t belong, and trina was hurt as a result. You keep poking around behind marshall’s back, and someone could get hurt. And I’m afraid that someone could be you.

[ Knock on door ] Michael. Uh, brook lynn’s not here. Um, can I come in? Sure. Uh… well, I was kind of hoping to talk to the both of you. Do you — will she be back soon? Brook lynn’s in bensonhurst, visiting her mother. It’s been rough on her, giving bailey back to maxie. She needed to decompress. That’s got to hurt like hell. Look, I’m, uh — I’m packing up my things, and you and I are far from friends right now, so whatever it is you want to talk about, can it wait? I’m afraid not.

[ Sighs ] Oh, this is ridiculous! No! Come on! This is therapeutic. Instead of avoiding your emotions, you can release them… by throwing an axe at some wood.

[ Sighs ] I even brought… a picture for inspiration!

[ Laughs ] You can put that away. I’ll use my imagination.

No, no

all right

got all the money I had yeah!

Took my house, too whoo! Yeah!

Stole my favorite car

even took my shoes

my daddy always said

[ Laughter ]

Ain’t nothin’ left

[ Laughter ] Whoo! Ready? And…go.

No, no, no, no, no whoo! Whoo!Whoo!

[ Laughter ]

No, no, no, no, no I’m here visiting my photo editor. She got her appendix out. Well, enjoy the visit. If you’ll excuse me, I have a big exam to study for. Uh, willow, I-I was wondering — could you spare a few minutes? I have quite a lot of notes to go over. Um, listen.

[ Clears throat ] It won’t take long, I promise. I was just — I was hoping that after our conversation the other day that you were more open to having me spend some time with wiley — maybe this weekend. Yeah. I’m sorry. I-I can’t talk about this right now. Because I’m really missing my — my grandson. I know you have to discuss it with michael, but I was wondering if you could give me any indication how he’s feeling. I am astounded that you would ask me about wiley, given the situation with michael’s parents. I’m sorry that carly and sonny weren’t able to work things out. But I don’t see why that has any bearing on my relationship with wiley. Carly caught you in bed with sonny. You went after a married man like a heat-seeking missile, and you don’t see why michael and i would have a problem with that? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that you found out. Listen, willow. I never intended for that to happen.

[ Sighs ] Do — do you keep a running tally of how many times you use that phrase? I’m just curious. How many lives have been damaged or ruined by things you never intended? How the hell can you ask me to advocate for you when I don’t believe a word you say?

This is a job interview, marshall. Yeah, right. And you’re only doing it because curtis asked you to help me out. Or do you really expect me to believe you’d hire a musician you don’t even know in order to be your “jazz concierge”? I’m nobody’s charity case, my man — least of all my son’S. This interview is over. Marshall, just… hear me out. I…came to apologize. For what? Look, I-I had no right coming down so hard on you about brook lynn and bailey. And… so I’m — I’m sorry. Apology accepted.

[ Down-tempo music plays ] No. That was way too easy. Look, I’m in the middle of packing up my entire life right now, so I don’t really have it in me to lay into you right now, even though you most definitely deserve it. Hey, look — look, man.

[ Sighs ] You loved bailey, too, and I can only imagine what you must be going through right now, having to let her go. So wouldn’t you feel a little bit better just — just unloading? I mean, you took heat from a lot of people, m-m-myself included. You got suspended from the pcpd while you were just trying to protect that little girl. Look, you were doing a good thing, and I had no right to judge. So I just wanted — you had zero right. You acted like me sleeping with brook lynn — which did not happen, by the way — was on par with what you and willow did to me. Michael, you slept with my wife! And then you had the nerve to lay into me because I hurt her feelings? Cut the crap. The real reason you are here is to absolve your own guilt. It is selfish… and it’s self-righteous. You feel better? Actually, yeah. Yeah, I do. You have a suspect? Betsy frank. Franco’s mother? Mm-hmm. Did you tell him about the other incidents? Yes. So what — what evidence do you have that points to betsy? Well, she sent me a valentine’s card. It was, um, very gothic, almost, uh, morbid. And so I called her today, and it turns out she’s in town, visiting franco’s grave. It’s a little too convenient. Don’t you think? She claims she just got here, but she could have been here for months. Right. Well, I’d like to see that card. But w-what were you and betsy talking about? She told me that she was here visiting franco’s grave and that she likes to pretend like he’s still alive. And she also knows that I’m dating finn because she follows me on social media, which makes me wonder if that just pushed her over the edge. Listen, I don’t know this woman at all, but for her to go to these lengths seems kind of extreme. Yeah. Betsy’s not all there on a good day. And now she’s grieving. People can be pushed to do desperate things while they’re grieving. Nina: Where is this even coming from? I thought we had a cordial conversation the other day. So did I. But I’ve realized it’s just part of your pattern, nina. Every time I think we’ve made headway, I find out that you’ve held back information or just plain lied by omission. Well, what happened between me and sonny wasn’t anyone else’s business. Then why go out of the way to drop hints that things between you and carly were irreconcilable?

[ Down-tempo music plays ] This isn’t the first time you’ve thrown me under the bus, but it’s the last. If you’re going to create discord between michael’s parents and then turn around and make nice to me while withholding that information, I’m going to feel used, played. And trust me, I will resent it. I am not trying to play you at all. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. I am so appreciative that you’ve been trying to be my ally. I am not your ally, nina. I am wiley’s mother. And until he’s old enough, it is my job to decide what is best for him, and that includes vetting the people he spends time with. Wiley — he’s my family. He’s my grandson. He’s the only thing that I have left of my daughter. He’s my blood. Blood doesn’t entitle you to have a relationship with someone. Not if you’re going to hurt them.

You should just trustthat marshall knows what’s safe and what’s not safe. He’s the one that’s lived his life. He’s in a much better position to judge than you are. I want to know and trust my father, but I can’t do that when he’s so closed off. Well, he needs to trust you, too, curtis. Give the relationship time to grow. Put in the work. Maybe then marshall will disclose the things that you want to know. But mark my words, baby. If you sneak around in his private business, there will be no chance of that happening. Curtis did ask me to interview you for this job. And I was happy to oblige because I need a jazz musician, and he thought you’d be a really good fit. I agreed, and so… I mean, I don’t know. Is it so terrible your son’s just trying to help you out?

[ Sighs ] You know, I… I suppose not. Look, if my friendship with curtis complicates things at all, feel free to walk away. For sure — no harm, no foul whatsoever. I just got to look elsewhere, I guess. I don’t want to be hasty. The job does sound interesting. Okay, good. Look. If we are gonna work together, I do have to tell you our company’s hr policies. Aurora has got contracts with the government, and due to their sensitive nature, I have liaison with intelligence agencies to do in-depth background checks just as a precaution. Wow. Is all that really necessary? Yeah, I’m afraid so. It’s — it’s a condition of employment, standard company policy — just to make sure there’s no security issues or clearance issues, anything like that. It’s pretty simple. Hr sends you some forms. You just put in past employers, your past addresses, your — I don’t know — aliases in case you performed under a stage name. Yeah. Yeah. I see. You know what?

[ Clears throat ] This job doesn’t sound like I’m gonna have enough time for my own music. I’m gonna have torespectfully decline. I hope there are no hard feelings. No, no. You know, I hope to — hope to see you at my gig. Absolutely. I look forward to it. Thank you for your time. Yeah. Sure thing. What you said about me feeling guilty… you’re right. Willow and I, we — we felt really guilty when we realized our feelings for each other, and we hated that it would hurt you. So… we put off telling you for what we thought were the right reasons. But it was — it was still dishonest. And then when you said that you slept with brook lynn, it just — I don’t know — it seemed to balance the scales and — and let me off the hook a little, and so… …I’m sorry. Willow married me because she thought I was dying. And then when I found out I couldn’t walk, she stayed with me to give me hope, even though she was in love with you. You know, I will always wish you guys didn’t lie to me. But I completely understand why you did it. Why is it when we try to do the right thing, we always end up lying? It’s definitely counterintuitive. Yeah. Well, you know what? When it comes to doing the right thing, you definitely win. I mean, this is the second child you saved, right? Yeah, but you and willow… kind of saved my life. So I guess we’re even. Oh. Yeah. Thanks. But not even close. Okay. Uh, then why don’t you help me close that gap by…

[Straining] Loading this into my car? Oh, great. Oh! Okay.

[ Grunts ] Deal. You mind if I hang on to this? No, not at all. Did betsy know about the spare key? No. I mean, not to my knowledge. I guess franco could have told her, but I can’t imagine why. What about boys? You think maybe she would’ve checked in with one of them? Maybe they could have told her. I haven’t spoken to her. And, I mean, how weird would that be if she contacted either jake or aiden? Right, a-and jake and aiden, they didn’t mention anything when you checked in with them, right? I didn’t tell them about the break-in. I just wanted to make sure they were okay. Right. I never considered that betsy could be using my sons. Well, hey, I-in case one of the kids is involved, I’ll keep a low profile on this, all right? At least take that worry off your mind. You were looking pretty good out there, girl. Who knew it would be so much fun and feel incredible to throw an axe? I mean, who came up with this business model? I think a lumberjack.

[ Laughter ] Well, if only we could throw axes at all of our problems. Although, I guess in sonny and nina’s case, that might not be a very good thing. Yeah. Do you guys really think it’s a good idea to drink beer and throw axes at the same time? I do. Okay, then.

[ Laughs ] Speaking of sonny, I just signed away all my claims to community property. Do you really think that’s a good idea? I just wanted it to be over, and I just want to move forward. And you think you can?

[ Down-tempo music plays ] Not right now. I can’t move past all the damage nina did, no matter how hard I try. And I don’t think I’ll be able to move past it until nina pays. Yeah. I don’t blame you. But karma is gonna take care of this. Nina will get what’s coming to her. Karma takes too long. Honey…it’s not healthy to focus on revenge. You know what? I think olivia is right. You have got a new life ahead of you. Why don’t you just focus on that? Nina: How can you say that to me? I would never hurt wiley. Nina, I don’t doubt your love for wiley. I just never know what I’m going to get with you. Well, know this. I think about him all the time, and I miss him every single day. I realize that I have made mistakes. It might be hard to believe this, but I am learning from my mistakes, willow, and I promise I will be more forthcoming in the future. I want to keep the door open for wiley to have a relationship with you. But michael is another story, and I’m starting to understand where he’s coming from. Do not keep me from my grandchild.

Maybe what drew and i had planned is the wrong move. Yes. Just be patient a little while longer, and I believe you’ll learn everything you need to know. And then you can make better decisions to keep all of us safe. And that’s all that matters.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Excuse me. Drew. Hey, drew. I was just about to call you. Yeah. I got news about your dad. Uh, yeah. Never mind that interview. Um, too late. We just finished. How’d it go? Marshall turned me down. He wouldn’t agree to a background check. I’ll, uh, look into betsy’s whereabouts the last two months or so. I just finished talking with the officer. I showed him the hiding place where the key was. Great. Thanks again. Uh, maybe don’t touch that painting for a little longer. All right. See you. Thanks.

[ Door opens, closes ] How you holding up? The thought that betsy may have been here for months, using her knowledge of — of me and franco to play these games, it’s just creepy. I mean, has she been breaking into my house this entire time, following me to work, getting my key, bringing it back? I’ve been working too much. She could have been here while my boys were asleep. She could have hurt them and i wasn’t here to protect them — hey, mom. I can protect us just fine, okay? In fact, you know what? I’m gonna get someone to cover my shift at kelly’s tonight. I don’t want you to be here alone. No. I don’t want you upending your life over this. Why don’t I bunk here for a couple days? Just — just till dante sorts all this out, all right? You know… chase has been bugging me about spending some time with violet. And she’d like it — more candy, stay up late. And I think chase could really use her company right now. It’s not an imposition? Not at all. Under the circumstances, I’d feel better if I stayed. Well, then it’s settled. I’ll get ready for work. Thank you. I don’t want him taking this on. Do you think I’m overreacting? No. No. You’re doing the right thing. And I’ll stay here until you feel safe again. I’m gonna go with my initial instinct — I deserve a fresh start. Yes! Cheers to that! You do. Hear, hear! Whoo! Hear, hear!

[ Up-tempo rock music playing ] Okay. Watch this. With this throw… I release myself from sonny and nina. Good riddance. Sam: Whoo! Yeah, girl! Olivia: Nice! I am not saying that you will never see wiley again. But we need to let things settle. What exactly does that mean? I don’t think there’s a path to you seeing wiley on saturday. Well, let me remind you, willow — as wiley’s biological grandmother, I have rights in this state. I haven’t pushed it out of a gesture of goodwill. But if this is the path that we will be taking now… that you and michael get to decide to block access to my grandson, then you leave me no choice. I will fight for my rights.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Eli: Baby.

Lani: Happy valentine’s day.

Eli: Wow, you look amazing. All of this does. How did you have the–

Lani: How did I have time to get dressed up, make you this amazing dinner, and bake a red velvet cake for dessert?

Eli: Mm-hmm.

Lani: The twins went down early, so I got kinda lucky. Sit, sit. Relax.

Eli: Okay, wait. First, I, um… I have to make a confession.

Lani: What–what confession?

Eli: I lied to you.

Paulina: “I know things aren’t going great between us, but I wanted you to know I’m thinking about you today.”

[Chuckles] Aww. This must be from abraham. Mm-hmm. “Fondly, tr.” Oh, hell no.

Tr: Are you sure the flowers I sent were delivered? Great. Thank you.

[Phone beeps]

[Sighs] I had a feeling this film would change my life. I had no idea just how much. Johnny, my man, I owe you.

Allie: Johnny? Aren’t you going to say something?

Johnny: Like what?

Allie: I don’t know, like maybe “congratulations”? You can’t be a little happy for your twin sister?

Johnny: No, I am. I’m just curious to find out if you told tripp before you accepted his proposal.

Tripp: Told me what?

Johnny: That she slept with my wife.

Tripp: What the hell are you talking about?

Johnny: Ooh, guess you didn’t tell him. Oops. My bad.

[Dramatic music]

Craig: I don’t know what could be holding him up. There’s no message from him.

Chloe: It’s okay, dad. He’s only, like, a few minutes late.

Craig: I’m gonna text him again. There’s probably a ton of traffic at the airport.

Brady: Yeah, that’s probably it.

Chloe: Before he gets here, I just realized I don’t even know what his name is.

Brady: Leo stark.

Craig: How did you know?

Leo: Happy valentine’s day.

Craig: Oh, I’m so glad you finally made it.

Leo: Oh, babe, me too. I missed you so much.

Craig: Mm.

[Kissing]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Craig: Mm. Leo, this is my daughter chloe. Chloe, this is–

Chloe: Leo stark.

Craig: Oh. You two know each other.

Chloe: Well, we haven’t officially met, but I’ve heard all about him from brady.

Craig: Oh, and how is it that you two know each other?

Leo: Oh, well, bb and i go way back. In fact, for a hot minute we thought we were brothers. Thank god that wasn’t true, or that kiss we shared would have been all sorts of awkward.

Craig: You kissed?

Brady: Leo kissed me. It wasn’t mutual.

Craig: Right. Well, I’m– I had no idea that you all knew each other. What a small world.

Chloe: So leo never mentioned to you that he once lived in salem?

Craig: No.

Leo: Well, only because craig and I haven’t gotten around to sharing everything about our respective pasts yet. So I hadn’t mentioned yet that I was once a resident of this city. Not that memorable a time, truth be told.

Brady: Not that memorable? Leo, you had so many adventures here.

Craig: Adventures?

[Tense music]

Tripp: You know this is a new low, johnny, even for you. You know, spreading rumors about your own sister?

Johnny: Well, it’s not a rumor, it’s a fact.

Tripp: Oh, the hell it is. Come on, just grow up already. Find something else to do besides making trouble for once, okay?

Johnny: Oh, come on, man. You can’t be that surprised. These two have been lusting after each other for months. They can barely keep their hands off each other.

Tripp: They’ve kissed twice and that was a long time ago.

Johnny: And recently they did a lot more than that. You see, the night that i dumped chanel, allie went over to her place to comfort her, my wife, and ended up in her bed.

Tripp: Allie?

Chanel: Don’t listen to him. Everything he just said is a complete and total lie.

[Tense music]

Tr: Johnny wasn’t lying. This town really is full of surprises.

[Knocking on door] Paulina. I see you got my flowers.

Paulina: [Giggles] Oh, I sure did. And here’s what I think of them.

[Chuckles]

[Glass shatters]

[Dramatic music]

Life’s been hard enough.

Leo: Sweetheart, I’m sorry I neglected to tell you I once lived in this insular little town. I don’t like to talk about it, frankly, because… well, salem holds so many unpleasant memories for me.

Brady: Not to mention the people you’ve terrorized, leo.

Leo: What is that supposed to mean?

Brady: You know, I’m not too comfortable going into this in front of craig.

Craig: No, no, no. Brady, go right ahead.

Chloe: Yeah, brady. Please do.

Brady: Fine. You need to know that he’s responsible for making my family’s life a living hell.

Leo: What? Exaggerate much?

Brady: You know damn well I’m not exaggerating.

Chloe: He’s not, dad. This man tried to bring down brady’s family business with some bogus lawsuit.

Craig: Is that true? Hmm?

Leo: Yes, it’s true, but it is not the whole story, and these two know it. Not to mention that in the end, I was the victim.

Brady: You were the–mm. Were you a victim when you listened in on my personal business calls to try to sell titan secrets to stefan dimera?

Leo: I sure as hell was. You fed me bogus intel. Some people have no scruples.

Brady: Scrupl– craig, you need to know that my brother paul did a deep dive into leo’s past. This man has been involved in scam after scam and it looks like you’re his latest mark.

[Tense music]

Lani: What did you lie about?

Eli: Yesterday I said that i was going to see my grandma and doug. But I went to go see tr.

Lani: Eli.

Eli: Baby, I had to put him on notice. He needed to know that if he– if he messed with you or paulina, he was gonna have to deal with me.

Lani: [Sighs] Babe, I appreciate you looking out for me, but you didn’t have to go all caveman.

Eli: I’m your husband. Baby, it’s my job to protect you.

Lani: So how did tr take it?

Eli: I mean, he– he seemed to get the message. I think he knows that from now on, he’d better treat you and paulina with respect.

Tr: I knew I should have gone with the roses.

Paulina: I thought I made myself clear. I want you to stay away from me and my family.

Tr: I’m sorry I showed up at lani’s unannounced, but once i realized that she was my child, I just couldn’t help myself.

Paulina: Well, then allow me to help you. What you did was unacceptable. Appearing on her doorstep from out of nowhere?

Tr: All right, I know. It was the wrong approach. I know that now. That’s why I sent the flowers, to apologize.

Paulina: There was no apology on the card.

Tr: It was implied.

Paulina: Well, then let me be explicit in my response. Apology not accepted.

Tr: Look, I don’t wanna upset you.

Paulina: Then leave town, ray.

Tr: It’s tr. And I can’t do that, because I’m shooting a film. And I want to get to know my daughter.

Paulina: You know, if you hurt her, I swear…

Tr: You know, with all due respect, paulina, I don’t think I possibly could hurt her any more than you already have.

[Dramatic music]

Tripp: Okay, I’m confused. So you didn’t go over to chanel’s that night?

Chanel: No, she did. I was a wreck that night, obviously, and allie comforted me like the good friend she is. We talked, then she put me to bed and left, end of story. Just like she told you.

Johnny: Now, that’s funny, because that’s a much different story than I heard you two telling in the square yesterday.

Chanel: What are you talking about?

Johnny: I overheard you and allie discussing your night of passion, how you two got down and dirty between the sheets. And I could go into more details, but I think you’ve heard enough to know that I’m telling the truth. I just… I thought you deserved to know before you married allie. And you accused me of being a player.

Chanel: Tripp–

Tripp: I want to talk to allie.

Chanel: Please.

Tripp: Alone.

[Tense music]

Are you one of the millions of americans

Chloe: I’m sorry, daddy, but brady’s right. This man is a con artist.

Leo: Don’t listen to them.

Chloe: He’s just using you.

Leo: What the hell would I be using him for?

Brady: Money. Is it just a coincidence that you fell for a wealthy doctor? I fell for craig because he is brilliant and charming and wickedly funny.

Craig: This is very uncomfortable to take in right now.

Leo: Even more so for me. But craig, you are the only one here whose opinion matters to me. I’m sorry I wasn’t more forthcoming. I didn’t want to scare you off. But I am not like that anymore. And that’s because of you. I wanna be a better person because of you. You believe me, don’t you?

Craig: [Sighs] It’s just–gotta take this in.

Brady: I’m afraid there’s a lot more to take in. A couple months ago, leo was involved in a major scam in arizona. He double-crossed the isa to get his hands on a stolen gemstone.

Leo: Okay, that’s true. But right after that, I met this wonderful man who cares for me more than anyone has in my entire life. And that’s why everything has changed.

[Tense music]

Lani: So what did you think of tr? I mean, do you think that he’s a changed man?

Eli: It’s tough to tell. I mean, I was only with him for a few minutes.

Lani: Kay, well, what does your gut say?

Eli: That, understandably, you have a lot of complicated feelings about your biological father. But… right now, I think that we should focus on us.

Lani: Your instincts are excellent, detective grant.

Eli: Then I’d like to propose a toast. To my incredible wife, who not only worked a full shift today, but managed to get the kids down early and prepare this wonderful meal.

Lani: [Chuckles]

Eli: Baby, I am in awe of everything you do.

Lani: Mm.

Eli: And by how beautiful you look doing it. Happy valentine’s day.

[Glasses clink]

Lani: Happy valentine’s day.

Eli: I have an idea.

Lani: What?

Eli: All right.

[Phone beeps]

Lani: [Laughs]

[Romantic music playing]

Eli: May I have this dance?

Lani: You certainly may.

[Laughs] Aww.

Singer: Every fantasy

that’s in my head

Paulina: May I remind you that the only reason I lied about being lani’s mother was to protect her from you? It kills me that I hurt her by keeping that a secret.

Tr: I was talking about price town.

Paulina: How do you know about that?

Tr: I did some research. I wanted to learn some more about my daughter, and I came across your plan to bulldoze the horton town square, which is a tribute to her husband’s family.

Paulina: For your information, I realized I made a huge mistake and I just called off the entire project. I also apologized to each and every person I hurt.

Tr: And they forgave you? Even lani?

Paulina: Even lani.

Tr: Hmm. That’s wonderful. Gives me hope.

Paulina: About what?

Tr: That if our daughter could forgive you for such a huge betrayal… maybe you can do the same for me.

Chanel: What the hell is wrong with you? How could you do that to your sister?

Johnny: All I did was tell the truth.

Chanel: It wasn’t how you made it sound, like we’ve been having some torrid affair.

Johnny: Weren’t you?

Chanel: No. I was a mess that night because of what you did to me. Allie and I just– we just got caught up in the emotion.

Johnny: Oh, so it was the sweet kind of cheating, not the sleazy kind. Well, I’m sure in that case tripp will totally understand.

Tripp: You were pretty quiet before. Kind of let chanel do all the talking.

Allie: I–I didn’t know what to say.

Tripp: How about the truth? Don’t you think you owe me that? Allie, just talk to me, okay? Chanel said johnny was lying. Was he? Please just– just be honest with me. Was johnny lying?

[Tense music]

Allie: No. He wasn’t lying. I did sleep with chanel.

[ Mid-tempo music playing ]

Tripp: I called you that night, and you said you were going home.

Allie: I was, but chanel was a mess and I couldn’t leave her alone.

Tripp: So the only way to make her feel better was to have sex with her?

Allie: We were lying in bed and it just happened.

Tripp: The next morning i called you again and you told me you were home. I wanted to come see you before work, but you said you were on your way out… to go check on chanel. But you were already with her, weren’t you?

Allie: Yeah, I spent the night. But I woke up and I felt so horrible. I felt so guilty. I hated lying to you. I wanted to come clean.

Tripp: But you didn’T.

Allie: I went to the hospital and I saw you and I was going to tell you, but I–I just– I didn’t want to hurt you.

Tripp: Then maybe you shouldn’t have slept with chanel!

Allie: Tripp, I love you, okay? I love you so much. It was a mistake.

Tripp: Yeah, right.

Allie: No. No, I wouldn’t have said yes to your proposal if I didn’t love you, okay? You, you are the one I wanna be with. You’re the one I wanna marry.

Tripp: Are you kidding me? I mean, you don’t seriously think that we’re still getting married?

Chanel: If you knew that me and allie hooked up, why didn’t you say anything earlier?

Johnny: What do you mean?

Chanel: Instead of telling me what you overheard, you gave me this big speech about how we could still be friends even though we were going through the divorce. Why would you do that?

Johnny: Well, I guess I just got caught up in the spirit of valentine’s day.

Chanel: So you pretended that you wanted to get along with me and then we bump into allie and tripp and you just blow everything up?

Johnny: Look, I saw that poor sap about to make the biggest mistake of his life. I had to do something. I mean, I do know what it’s like to suddenly realize you married the wrong person.

Chanel: Oh, did you ever. Because I am going to take you for everything that you’re worth.

Johnny: Is that right?

Chanel: Si, giovanni. By the time I’m finished with you, you are going to wish you’d never been born.

Paulina: Let’s get something straight. I planned to tear down a beloved landmark. You? You abused me physically and emotionally for years! Now, they are not the same. Do you understand that?

Tr: Yes, I do.

Paulina: Well, then don’t compare my betrayals to yours. I may have been deceptive, but you were a monster.

Tr: You’re right. There’s no comparison. What I did was reprehensible. And I truly am ashamed. The drugs, the drinking, they turned me into somebody that even I didn’t recognize. I was on a downward spiral. I didn’t even know it. And after you disappeared, it got worse. I ended up in prison.

Paulina: For what?

Tr: [Chuckles] I started using my clients’ money to buy drugs. Once I got caught, my whole life fell apart.

Paulina: So I’m supposed to, what, feel sorry for you?

Tr: [Laughs] No. Because that’s when I finally realized that I needed to turn my life around. You see, hitting rock bottom is the best thing that ever happened to me.

Leo: After that little caper with the stolen peacock, my life took a nosedive. I was lonely, depressed, and forced into taking this thankless job handing out swag at medical conventions. As luck would have it… craig came over to my booth and inquired about my nuts.

Chloe: I’m sorry, what?

Leo: Oh, relax, would you? Your daughter did not inherit your sense of humor. Anyway, I was dressed up as a chipmunk handing out free nuts. You know, because they’re good for you. High in vitamins, minerals, good monounsaturated fats, which can help lower cholesterol. Anyway, we had a couple of laughs and I felt this immediate strong connection, like I had finally found my soulmate. You felt that too, didn’t you, craig?

Craig: Yeah. We did have a connection. He did make me laugh.

Leo: [Laughs] And, look, even though your dad was honest with me from the get-go, told me he had a wife, it was clear to me– and eventually to him– that his marriage was a lie. He was denying who he really was.

Chloe: Oh, so you coerced him into cheating on my mother?

Craig: Chloe, there was no coercion here whatsoever. Look… as completely thrown as this conversation has me, all I wanted was for you two to meet each other. And now I see that was not a good idea and it’s not working out, so my apologies to all of you.

Chloe: No. Dad, it’s not your fault.

Leo: May I just add something?

Craig: Sure.

Leo: Chloe, I understand your skepticism of me given my track record, and I know that you and your father have a very close and loving relationship.

Chloe: Yeah, we do.

Leo: Well, you’re very fortunate. My father was an abusive pig. He used to tell me that I was worthless and that I would never mean anything to anyone. And when you hear that over and over again, it creates a hole in your heart. So I tried to fill that with fancy things to– to make the pain go away. But it didn’T. And nothing made it go away… until I met your father. Finally, I was happy for the first time in my life. And not a day goes by, not a moment goes by that I don’t appreciate how lucky I am.

[Jazzy music]

Your mission:

Brady: Okay, look, I’ve heard enough. Craig, you need to be wary of this man because he’s a predator.

Leo: Hey, that is an unfair and cruel accusation.

Brady: It’s not unfair and cruel when it’s totally verifiable and true. I haven’t even gotten into what he did to my cousin sonny. It’s a whole thing there.

Leo: Okay, look, look. How about you two go and rake me over the coals somewhere else? It’s valentine’s day, for god’s sake. Craig and I would like to celebrate, to be left alone, not to hear some angry, self-righteous people distort the truth and tell us why we shouldn’t be together.

Brady: Craig, I’m telling you this because I care about you, okay?

Craig: [Sighs] Right, okay. Right. Look, um… I think leo’s right. I think it’s time that this conversation ends. You two should leave and we will talk about this later. Okay, chloe?

Chloe: We don’t want you to get hurt, dad. That’s what this is all about. How can you not know that?

Leo: Please don’t listen to them, craig. What I feel for you is real. This is not a con or a scheme or a ploy. I have left all of that behind me. Because like I said, for the first time in my life, I am honestly, truly happy. Because of you.

Chloe: Dad. He is playing you. You need to wake up and do the right thing. You need to end this farce of a relationship.

Tripp: You don’t honestly think that I’d still marry you after you cheated on me.

Allie: We can work through this. I will do whatever it takes to make this right.

Tripp: You must think I’m the world’s biggest chump, don’t you? And maybe that’s my fault. Maybe I let you think that you could just walk all over me, I wouldn’t care.

Allie: No.

Tripp: My mom warned me that your bff was a threat. And I pushed aside all of my doubts and insecurities and chose to believe in you, to trust in you. And look where that got me. Who knows, I probably deserved to have you cheat on me.

Allie: No, no. You did nothing wrong.

Tripp: I must have! Because in the end, you chose chanel over me.

Johnny: You’re nuts if you think you’re getting one dime out of me.

Chanel: Oh, we discussed this, okay? There’s no prenup, so the sky is the limit, baby.

Johnny: And I told you, my family’s loaded. I’m not.

Chanel: Tell it to my lawyer.

Johnny: Oh, I will. I’ll also tell him that you committed adultery with my sister–my twin sister. I’m sure that’ll go over well in court. Good luck convincing a judge that you’re the victim.

Chanel: God, you are such a creep. I can’t believe I ever loved you.

Johnny: Did you? Or were you just enjoying the perks that I could provide until you could get with my sister?

Chanel: God, you are disgusting.

Johnny: Does this mean we’re not hooking up tonight?

Paulina: You were glad you were in prison?

Tr: Saved my life. If I kept going the way I was, there’s no doubt in my mind that I would have od’D. Prison got me off that path. I stopped using drugs. I went to therapy.

Paulina: Mm-hmm. So poof, you were a new man.

Tr: It took a lot of hard work. I started at the bottom, climbed to the top.

Paulina: So you’re a hollywood bigwig now.

Tr: I have had a great deal of success. But I have never been able to fully enjoy it because there was always something that weighed on me. And that’s the guilt that I feel… over how I treated you.

Paulina: You should feel guilty. But look, you know what? I have moved on with my life. I’m fine now. I don’t need to stand here and listen to all this–

Tr: Yeah, but I need to say it. You know, over time there were so many times I tried to track you down to apologize. But I never wanted to upend your life. But now, fate has brought me back to you. And I finally have the chance to make things right. If you’ll let me.

Trelegy for copd.

Craig: Chloe, I appreciate your concern. Yours too, brady. But… like leo said, I think this conversation is over– for the time being, anyway.

Chloe: Dad, did any of what we said get through to you?

Craig: I admit, some of it is upsetting, yes.

Leo: Babe–

Craig: But… we all do things in our past that we’re not proud of. In fact… I’ve done something that I’m sure is very close to what leo did.

Chloe: What? What are you talking about? The mike horton thing?

Craig: Let me finish, chloe. Years ago, I was… quite desperate to become chief of staff, and I…

[Sighs] Manipulated a mentally unstable woman to file charges against mike horton–sexual harassment. It ended in disaster, and I deeply regret it as I’m sure you regret having what it is you’ve done.

Leo: Profoundly. If I could turn back time, I would.

Craig: It’s not about that, though. It’s about now. We don’t have to focus on the past. I just want to focus on what you and I have together.

Chloe: Oh, my god.

Craig: I am committed to this man, chloe. And I’m sorry that you don’t agree… but this is my life. And I am never letting him go.

Paulina: You think it’s that easy? That to hurt someone the way you hurt me, it can make it all better just by sending some damn flowers?

Lani: The flowers are beautiful.

Paulina: I’m glad you like them. Took me a long time to pick out the arrangement.

Lani: Yeah, well… I will be taking them to the hospital tomorrow and give them to someone who actually wants them. And as for this card…

[Paper tears]

Tr: What is it?

Paulina: I just realized that, um… it’s possible I might be a bit of a hypocrite. But I will tell you this– and this is from my personal experience– for true forgiveness, that’s got to be earned and that takes time.

Tr: I will put in whatever time it takes because… no one as wonderful as you has ever come into my life. And instead of honoring you and treasuring you and treasuring everything we had… I threw it all away. And the regret that I feel has stayed with me over all these years. The truth is… I never got over you, and I don’t know if I ever will.

Eli: Why couldn’t we stay in bed again?

Lani: Do you know how long it took me to make this cake? I am not letting all this hard work go to waste.

Eli: [Chuckles]

[Knocking on door] Who could that be?

Lani: Hmm.

Chanel: [Sighs]

Lani: Chanel, what are you doing here?

Chanel: I needed to talk to someone and I cannot deal with mama right now. Oh, god, I totally forgot it’s valentine’s day. I’ll go.

Lani: No, no, chanel. It’s fine. Right, eli?

Eli: Of course. Yes, of course. What happened?

Chanel: [Sighs] It’s johnny.

Lani: What did he do now?

Chanel: It’s not what he did, it’s what I did. With allie.

Allie: Tripp, you are the one I wanna be with, okay? And I’m gonna keep saying it until you believe it, because it’s the truth.

Tripp: No, it’s not. It’s a lie, okay? It’s a lie you’ve been telling me and yourself, ’cause clearly the person you wanna be with is chanel.

Allie: No, no. Sleeping with chanel was a one-time thing and it’s never going to happen again, I promise. If you can just find it in your heart to forgive me.

Tripp: How could I ever trust you again? If your jerk of a brother hadn’t said anything just now, I’d still be in the dark, right? That’s what I thought. Face it, there’s– there’s no coming back from this.

Allie: Tripp–

Tripp: It’s over, allie. You and I are done.

Demon johnny: Ahh. Well, I may not have gotten lucky tonight, but screwing with those losers was almost as satisfying.

Johnny: You can’t do this! You need to stop hurting to people I love!

Demon johnny: Well, hey now. Look who’s awake.

Johnny: I have to let chanel know I still love her, that I would never hurt her like this.

Demon johnny: And how do you plan on doing that?

Johnny: By getting rid of you.

Demon johnny: [Chuckles] I would like to see you try–

[Grunts]

Chloe: Dad, listen to me. You are making a huge mistake.

Craig: Chloe, that is enough.

Chloe: Enough? Enough of what? Trying to knock some sense into you? You want this snake to break your heart to same way that you broke mom’s? Is that what you want? Okay, I guess that’s what you want. You know what? I’m done. Brady, let’s get out of here.

[Jazzy music]

Tr: After what I’ve done, I know I don’t have the right to ask. But I would love to have the chance to make it up to you and to get to know my daughter. You don’t have to say anything. Just… think about it?

Paulina: [Clears throat] I better go. Sorry for the mess.

Tr: You don’t have to apologize to me, ever.

Paulina: I wasn’T. Um, I’m sorry for the housekeeper.

Tr: It’s my mess. It’s on me to clean it up.

[Dramatic music]

Lani: So you and allie…

Chanel: Yeah.

Eli: So what did tripp think?

Lani: Okay.

Chanel: I don’t know. I haven’t heard. Oh, god. Oh, what if I screwed everything up for them? You guys must think I’m a terrible person.

Lani: Chanel, no, we don’T. You didn’t mean to hurt anyone.

Eli: Yeah, unlike johnny. What the hell is up with that guy?

Demon johnny: [Grunts] You’re wasting your time. You’re no match for me.

Johnny: I’ll never give up. I won’t let you keep hurting the people I love!

Demon johnny: [Sighs] Stop fighting me or I will go upstairs and slaughter your little cousins in their sleep.

Johnny: No!

Demon johnny: Then stop fighting me.

[Mysterious whoosh] That’s better. Whew.

[Sighs] Your love for chanel and your sister is much stronger than I anticipated. It’s too bad they’ll never find out just how much you care.

[Eerie tone]

Allie: Tripp, I love you with my whole heart. Please, could you give me another chance?

Tripp: May I have my ring back?

Allie: What?

Tripp: It belonged to my great grandmother, and… I want it back. Allie.

Allie: [Sighs]

[Somber music]

I’m sorry.

Tripp: Me too.

Allie: [Sobbing]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 

betsy, it’s elizabeth. I know it’s been a while. Um, listen, I got your card. I have some news I thought you might want to hear. Do you think you can come to town so we can talk in person? And even if you can’t come to port charles, I would still really like to speak with you. I’m working today, so give me a call on my cell. Thanks. Bye.

[ Suspenseful music plays ] Scott! Hey. Scott: Oh, hey. What brings you by? Oh, a client, a little slip-and-fall case. So, peter august. He finally got what he deserved. Of course, I wanted him to go to trial and be charged with murdering franco ’cause I don’t want anybody to ever forget that. Yeah, me neither. You know? Do you have a minute? Yeah, sure. What’s going on? Do you get the sense that jake or aiden might resent me dating finn? Aiden? No. Jake? Most definitely.

[ Knock on door ] Looking very good behind that desk, my friend. Not too shabby, huh? Not too shabby at all. And I’m sorry I’ve been so remiss in not coming by before now to see your new digs. That’s okay. You have a law practice…

[ Laughs ] …With clients. Yes, well, that’s true. But I should always have time for you. Congratulations, my friend, on your second act. -Thanks. -[ Laughs ] Sit, sit. Anyway, I’m glad you’re here ’cause I want to pick your brain about something. Oh, goody. What’s the subject? The legal question I asked you about before… yes, the hypothetical scenario in which a woman forges a birth certificate for an abandoned child that she never legally adopted. -That’s the one. -Yeah. Yeah. Okay, well, let’s just cut to the chase. The woman in question is your newfound friend, harmony. Shawn, hi. Um, I’m just on my way out, so… I love the macaroni and cheese balls, don’t you?

[ Door closes ] You know, whenever I try to bribe my son, tj, into meeting me, I invite him here. Yeah. [ Chuckles ] They’re a weakness of mine, too. Just having lunch with a friend. Right, right. So, uh… you still hang with criminals?

[ Door opens ] -Hey. -Hi. Hey, I just — I wanted to see how you’re doing, now that… now that bailey’s back with maxie, her real mother, the way it was always intended to be? It’s still got to hurt. Big time. You already packed? I’m working on it.

[ Sighs ] There’s no point in staying here. Oh.

[ Whispering ] Does brook lynn feel the same way? Oh, I wouldn’t know. Brook lynn’s gone.

[ Footsteps ] Is sonny inside? Yeah. What are you two doing here? I guess I don’t have to ask the two of you that question.

About an hour after maxie picked bailey up, brook lynn came downstairs with a suitcase, claimed she was going to bensonhurst to visit her mother. Oh. Does, uh… does lois know the whole story? Just the basics. She said she wanted to explain everything to her face-to-face, but I think she just needed to get away.

[ Breathes deeply ] I guess the house probably feels pretty empty without bailey in it. And me. Because you’re moving out. Y-yeah, there’s no point in me staying here, now that the whole charade is over. Yeah. You know, I saw you two together, you and brook lynn. I saw you in action when bailey went missing. You’re pretty good together, right? You were there for each other. You held each other up. I was sort of thinking maybe you would… lean on each other again to get through this. So did I. But then I kissed her, and she ran. Aiden and jake told me they like finn. Well, aiden likes him okay. Jake complains a lot, though. He does? Yes, but jake’s a teenager. I’m lucky to get him to talk at all. I mean, they really just want to text. But jake complains about his brother, about finn, about no good action movies. I mean… I’ve been worried about him since jason died. Do you think he could be acting out? Acting out? I mean, why would you say that? Well, some weird things have been happening recently. Like my wedding ring — I decided to take it off… I noticed that, and — and I think that that’s good. I think that shows that you’re moving on, which is great, elizabeth. Okay, but the night that finn and I decided to have our first official date, I found my ring in my locker here at G.H., Like it was some kind of reminder of franco before I went out on my date. So, y-you think that jake did that? I-I think that’s a little bit of a stretch. I know, I know. I agree. But who else could it be? I mean, how did my ring get from my house to my locker? And I asked the kids. They denied it, and they seemed sincere, jake included. But now, with what you’re saying, I don’t know. Do you think jacob’s trying to tell me something? You, of all people, know the value of deniability.

[ Chuckles ] You are not hired — therefore, you are not protected by attorney-client privilege. Well, if harmony admits to the forgery, which I hope was never used in the commission of a crime, then it doesn’t matter what I know. Speculation, counselor.

[ Laughs ] I hope that the person in question is going to do the right thing. And I’m speaking hypothetically because, you know, I have to protect my sources. Oh, that’s right, because you’re in — you’re in journalism now. Alexis: Yeah. So you got to protect your sources. Alright, well, hypothetically speaking, I hope the person in question… …is trustworthy, that your trust is well-placed. With regard to harmony, she did come through, in the end, with her testimony against shiloh, but the woman has a long history of manipulation, and I would hate to see you taken advantage of. Is this your way of saying that you don’t trust

my judgment? Criminals?

[ Scoffs ] I’m not sure who you’re referring to. I’m referring to bucky. He and I go way back to some of my more nefarious days. And I suppose you can say he’s somewhat of an artist. Yeah, nobody can craft a fake id like bucky. Driver’s license, passport — you name it. Really? I had no idea. I thought you said he was your friend. More of a drinking buddy. Plays a mean game of darts. But, um, thank you for your concern. Mm. I’m a big girl. You know, I really don’t care what you do with your life, unless it affects alexis. I fail to see how the occasional darts buddy would, uh, affect alexis. You know, alexis has a lot of folks in port charles who care about her, none of whom will let you drag her into something shady. Alexis is perfectly capable of taking care of herself. That she is. But you missed my point. Alexis no longer has to take care of herself. She isn’t isolated in spring ridge. She has friends,

real friends, and loved ones around her. You’d do well to watch your step. Carly, please, don’t start. We need to talk. You — you already told me we have nothing to say. Um, sonny, I’m going to go. No, no, no, it’s okay. Hold on. No, I-I was going to go, anyway, remember? Alright. You guys go ahead. Come in and I’ll be in in a second.

[ Scoffs ] That will be good. Uh, thanks… for last night. I-I wasn’t thinking straight, and you stopped me from making A… huge mistake. It’s fine. Our lives are already too complicated, right? You’re a good friend, nina. Yeah. Bye. Bye.

[ Door closes ]

[ Sighs ] Sonny: What’s going on? Is this about donna? It’s about jason.

I’m glad alexis has a strong support system around her. It’s a challenge, reentering society and starting over, as we both know.

[ Door opens ] I’m sorry. I really have to go. You have a good day.

[ Door closes ] Finn: Let me get this straight. You kissed brook lynn… and she left town. Yeah. And I know how bad that sounds. Sounds like you need to check your ego. -What?! -Yeah. I mean, brook lynn just gave up the — the child that she raised as her own since birth, and you think it’s your disgusting kiss that sent her running? Okay, thank you [Claps hands] For stopping by. If you’d please leave now, that would be great. I’m kidding. I’m kidding. I only know because I’ve been there, alright? Come on, I know you got something going on up there. Just…talk to me. I don’t know where to start. Start with the truth, alright? Up until now, when you’ve talked about your feelings for brook lynn, it’s been shaded by the pretense that you were bailey’s father. Now’s your chance to — to be honest with me. Look, I-I’m so sorry about lying about bailey. We’ve been over that, alright? It’s done, alright? Peter’s dead. Bailey’s back with maxie. I mean, the only unfinished business is between you and brook lynn. So I’m just curious — how do you really feel about her? So you think that jake is doing, you know, some weird things to break you up with finn? I don’t know. I mean, he has struggled in the past, and now, with what you’re saying about him… yeah, but that was because of helena cassadine, and that was a long, long time ago.

[ Sighs ] Jake is — I’m telling you — he is mentally stable, but he is a teenage boy, and with that comes a lot of angst and a lot of, you know, trouble. Yeah, I-I know, I know. And I’m hoping that’s all it is. Yeah, but, you know… planting your ring in your locker, you know, that sends a message. It could all be a little more sinister as well. Now, I don’t think jake would ever do that, but somebody did it, and that is harassment. There have been some other odd occurrences. A-anything dangerous? No. They might not even be related. Elizabeth, listen to me, okay? Now, if anything goes on that seems fishy, sketchy, you get a hold of me. There are a lot of crackpots out there. Promise me that.

[ Chuckles ] Okay, I promise. -Okay. -Thank you. Go see your client. Alright. I’ll catch you later.

[ Chuckling ] Okay. Betsy: There you are. They said you were on this floor. I was beginning to wonder. Betsy, what are you doing here? I got your message. You said you were at work, so, here I am. But I just called you. I was already in town. To visit bobby. You came to see franco? I thought you’d want to know that maxie is safe and peter august is dead. It’s about damn time. Thank you for making the trip all the way over here. Dante was here earlier. And you’re here because…? Well, I was in switzerland. I can give you the details if you want them. Ah, well, I know all I need to know. He died like the dog he was. I can attest to that. Um… well, you said what you came to say. I can give you a ride back, if you want. No. Thank you. But I’m not done here. Sonny and I need to get a few things straight.

I didn’t know you were in port charles. I was at bobby’s grave when you called. I can’t believe it’s already a year since we lost him. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of my sweet boy. I know you understand. You loved him, too. I did, very much. I called because I wanted you to know peter august, the man who killed franco, is dead. I’m glad. After the hard life bobby had, he finally found happiness with you and your boys. You should’ve had more time together. That man, peter august, he robbed us all of years we should’ve had with bobby. Franco will always be in my heart. He feels very present for me, too. Sometimes I can almost pretend he’s still here. Well, he would want you to be happy and to keep living your life. Easier said than done. I know. I’ve had a hard time with it, too. But I’m slowly startingto find life after franco. I’m even seeing someone.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, I know. I know all about it. My relationship with brook lynn, it’s complicated. But, first of all, brook lynn and i are friends. That’s why, when I figured out what was going on between her and maxie, and then I saw that valentin was about to blow everything up, I-I stepped in to help cover for her. And — and it was intense — you know, acting like bailey’s father and assuming all these new responsibilities, but I saw how relieved brook lynn was when — when she had someone to talk to. You know, she could tell me because I knew the truth. I mean, she was carrying that all by herself, and she was taking hits from her family, and she was terrified that peter would find out and do exactly what he did — kidnap bailey. I never thought I’d say this, but… let’s get to the kissing.

[ Sighs ] Right. Um. Brook lynn and I, we’re friends, right? And we — we had this, this huge secret together, so there were times we’d look at each other… mm-hmm. …And I thought, you know, maybe. Mm-hmm. But then, the — the moment didn’t last very long, and nothing ever happened between us until… we found out the news that maxie was safe, peter was dead, and everything was over. And, bro, I-I couldn’t — I couldn’t take my eyes off her, and — and I couldn’t pull away — not that I wanted to — and — and I kissed her. And? Uh, afterwards, she kind of, uh, she dodged the moment, you know? And I could tell brook lynn wasn’t into it, so… I let it go. You let it go? You just let it go? Well, it sounds like this kiss wasn’t A… spur-of-the-moment thing, at least not for you. Kind of begs the question — do you have feelings for brook lynn?

[ Door closes ] Dad. Hey. Hey, hey. Sorry I’m late. I was in surgery. Not a problem, doc. I hope your surgery was a success. Get this. It started as a simple breast reduction, right? Mm-hmm. The patient was experiencing some back problems, so she opted to have a reduction mammoplasty. But while she was on the table, we discovered a tumor. A tumor, as in breast cancer? Right. Now, this was a young woman with no family history, no symptoms or indications of breast cancer. Mm-hmm. And we were able to remove the entire tumor during the reduction procedure. And we don’t know if it’s invasive, yet, but my guess is we caught it early. And women who are diagnosed at the time of breast reduction have a statistically better chance of survival than the general population, so I’m optimistic.

[ Chuckles ] I think — I think we might have saved this woman’s life, not just her back. Right. This is definitely worth being a little late for, huh, you know? And we have another reason to celebrate. What’s the first one? I just want you to know how, you know, how great these past few months have been, you know? Getting the chance to, you know, really hang out with you and get to know you. For me, as well, but why are you talking like it’s over?

[ Laughs ] Never, okay? But I do have some news. Okay. I found this interesting business opportunity, and, uh… I’m going to have to move to san francisco.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ] Hey. Okay, guess what — there’s no need to track me down, drew, okay? Because that collision at sonny’s penthouse — that was an unfortunate accident. I don’t want to run into carly, either. I really try hard to avoid her altogether. So, I just came here to get something to eat. Oh, o-okay. I’m sorry. Um. It’s just my friend phyllis, she — she manages this place and I just was hoping to talk to her. Okay, well, yeah, no harm done. Um… since I ran into you, I… might as well say thank you. Di…

[ Diane chuckles ] …Have I fallen so low in your eyes that, shockingly, you think that I won’t know if somebody’s manipulating me? Hm… well, as you know, that’s the whole point of manipulation — the person being targeted never being aware… mm-hmm. …That they are being manipulated. That being said, I believe in you. Do you? Do you? ‘Cause I’m not feeling it. You forged a relationship with harmony at spring ridge. She was the only person you could talk to during a period of time when you were uncharacteristically vulnerable. When i was vulnerable? Well, how else would you describe incarceration? Yes, it was minimum security, but it was a far cry from the life that you’re used to, and I doubt that your fellow inmates were big on scintillating conversation. Harmony’s the closest thing that you had to a contemporary… yeah. …While you were at spring ridge. But now you’re out, and I’m just worried that her motives are less than pure. And are you sure that she is someone who deserves your support?

[ Knock on door ] Come in! Oh, sorry. Am I interrupting? Ah, no. Diane was just leaving. Yes, I was just leaving. I have things to do. Nice to see you behind a desk again. I will call you next week. We will arrange lunch, and… good luck with your little…project. Ms. Miller. Ms. Miller. Sorry. I really didn’t mean to interrupt. You weren’t interrupting. I want to know everything. How did willow take it when you told her that you weren’t her birth mother? What’s on your mind, carly? I don’t have a say about avery. I don’t want nina staying over when donna’s here. It’s gonna be a confusing enough situation for donna. Well, I mean, unless nina’s going to be a permanent fixture, right?

[ Chuckles ] No, it’s not like that. I wouldn’t do anything to hurt donna or avery. You should know that. There’s a lot I thought I knew about you, sonny, but you proved me wrong, so I’m not gonna take anything for granted. Do you really think I would– I-I wouldn’t put donna and avery first? I know you’re a good father, so I trust that you will act in the girls’ best interest, okay? Nina: You went out on yet another bender last night, right? Right. Well, I’m not claiming to be some kind of expert here, but I do know this — aside from the physical health concerns, alcohol can dull the effects of the medication. Even though you’re back on your meds, you could still be emotionally vulnerable until it fully kicks in.

Carly: I would like to bring donna saturday. I mean, it’s her first night staying with you, so I want to make the transition as easy as possible. And I’d also like to be there when you show her her new bedroom, and I want to bring some toys over so she feels comfortable. No, no, no. W– we’re — we’re not — we’re not going to do that.

Well, you sure know how to ask the loaded questions. Hey, you’re welcome. I don’t know how to feel about brook lynn. Alright. Well, I mean, on the surface, you’re not an obvious match. Oh, I mean, tell me about it. I — at the beginning, I could not stand brook lynn.

[ Laughs ] I thought she was

so selfish, and she came across self-centered. Mm. But that was just a front. Really? -Mostly. -Hm. The more I got to know brook lynn, I was so impressed by — by her strength, you know, and her courage. I mean, yeah, she’s — oh, she’s gorgeous. And — and she makes me laugh. And she’s so loyal. I mean… fiercely loyal. And [Laughs] She’s — she’s a trip. Okay, I’ll say it. She’s — she’s a trip. But underneath all that attitude, she’s got a — she’s got a big heart. As do you, bro. And for what it’s worth, I say… just go for it when she gets back. I-I don’t even know when she’s coming back, and brook lynn has so much to process. I mean, she just gave up bailey after being her mother for months. I mean, can you imagine the emotional roller coaster? I don’t want to — I don’t want to wreck our friendship, pushing for a relationship, when… …I don’t know if — if she’s ready or if… …she even wants to be with me. How will you know until you try? Elizabeth: You know about finn? Yes. I’ve seen photos of the two of you on social media. I hope you’re not bothered by our relationship. Betsy frank! What the hell are you doing here? Visiting my daughter-in-law. We’re still family. You kidnap any kids lately? Thank you for calling me, for telling me about bobby’s killer. I’ll be in touch. Ugh! You — you — you called her?! Yeah, to tell her about peter, but I didn’t know she was in port charles. Does she contact you a lot? No! Except —

[ Sighs ] Except what? She sent me this. What in sam hill is this? I know. I-I-I know, and now, I’m finding out that she’s been in town? Could betsy be the one behind all these strange occurrences? “Strange” is betsy’s mo. I now have made her suspect number one. I was — I was right there. I was face-to-face with willow, and — and I just — I could not say the words. How am I supposed to tell the daughter that I love so much that I’m not her biological mother? You know, I’ve let willow down over and over again, and it’s just because of her big heart that we even have a relationship. And — and now that we’re talking, she’s letting me get to know my grandson wiley, and I-I cannot lose that! I can’t lose either of them! I understand this is difficult. I really do. But what are you doing?! I-I — you’re just — you’re just avoiding the inevitable. I mean, willow needs a birth certificate. She wants her birth certificate. You don’t have one. How are you gonna explain that? Oh, no. You didn’T. Willow, she needs a birth certificate, so I made sure that she is gonna get one. Nina: Why are you thanking me? Maxie told me that you knew that bailey was actually louise and — and you kept that a secret, so, thank you for stepping up and saving that little girl from peter august. Well, maxie, she’s — she’s my family, and I should really be thanking you. Thank you for bringing maxie home, and thank you for ending this nightmare. I can hardly wait ’til maxie holds louise and says that she is her mother, finally. Mm. That will be a beautiful sight, yeah. I’m sorry that I was defensive earlier. I just assumed that you thought I was a horrible person after listening to carly badmouth me. No. You and I are not gonna talk about carly. Come on, sonny, I’m not trying to step on your time with donna, okay? It’s her first night in a strange place, and I want to be here to help her. It’s not that. It’s just I think we should just postpone donna staying over. Why?

[ Scoffs ]

[ Sighs ] Because I’ve — I’ve had some problems with my medication, and, uh, I’m — I’m not feeling 100%. Oh. Well, do you think it’s a problem with your dosage? Does it need to be adjusted? It’s not that. I — I actually went off my medication for a bit. For how long?! A few days. Um. But I’m — I’m back on, and I just want to make sure that the, you know, the — the levels are up before donna stays the night. Nina: Carly, please, just wait. Sonny, he loves you. What he feels about me, that isn’t real. He wants to be with you. He needs you. I’m not gonna do this. I made it clear that I’m not gonna argue with you on the subject of my marriage. I’ve nothing left to say to you. Nina knew you were off your meds. Didn’t she?

If betsy is pretending that franco’s not dead, maybe she thinks I’m cheating on him with finn. Well, that woman is out of her gourd, so let’s go find her, and let’s see what’s going on. No! Wait, wait, no, no. W-we can’T. We don’t have any proof that she’s done anything more than grieve the man she thought was her son. Well, that man was my son, and that crazy woman chiseled me out of a lot of years with franco. And her grip on reality is tenuous, at best, elizabeth. It’s only been a year since franco died. I know she’s struggling, but I don’t think betsy’s dangerous. Shawn butler, media mogul.

[ Chuckles ] You expanded that empire pretty quickly. I have a lot of time to make up for. I just can’t be sitting around. No chance of that. No. I’m proud of you. To all the success I’m sure you’ll have. Back at you. And I have no doubt my son, dr. Ashford, is destined for greatness. Cheers.

[ Glasses clink ] Mmm. Well, I will feel a lot more impressive when molly and i finally move out of her mom’s house. Now, with our schedules, it has taken a lot longer to find a place, but we finally did. Yeah, you found an apartment? More like molly did, but it’s this real nice building on the edge of the charles street district. Molly fell in love with it, but there were no vacancies, and every other place we considered, she’d find some flaw and bring up that building. So, one sunday, she finally dragged me over there to, you know, knock on doors… yeah. …Introduce ourselves, leave a card, just in case someone was thinking of moving. What do you know? The ground floor tenants are moving out, and we put in an application the same day.

[ Chuckling ] Well, congratulations. Right? It sounds like you found the perfect space. But you — you’re still gonna see alexis, right? Of course. Uh, why do you ask? I’m — I’m worried.

[ Breathes deeply ] Molly and I were, too, when she first got out of spring ridge. But ever since you made her editor-in-chief of the invader, she’s active, she’s engaged. All seems right with alexis’ world. Actually, it’s her affiliation with harmony I’m worried about. How did you explain to willow that you suddenly found the birth certificate, when she and michael have been looking for it for weeks? Um, okay, I said that, uh, clairborne county was rural and underpopulated, with an antiquated recordkeeping system, which is true, and then I-I just said I did a lot of coaxing, called in a few favors, and managed to unearth her birth certificate. She believe that? I think she was just, you know, so relieved at the thought of getting her actual birth certificate. But she isn’t! I know! I know I bought another fake, and I know it’s against the law! You know who else knows that? Me. I know it’s against the law. At least it’s a victimless crime. I mean, it’s not like you stole the baby. I mean, the mother abandoned the baby. Right? You have a legal problem, but you have a bigger emotional one, and I’ll tell you why. Because you cannot have an honest relationship with willow when there’s this huge lie in the middle of it. Now, it is not too late to tell the truth. I can’t, alexis. I’m — I’m not strong enough. I’m not strong like you. My opinion of you, it’s not shaped by what I’ve been told. It’s actually based on what you’ve done, and what you did to sonny and his family is so appalling. It’s selfish beyond belief, really. And let’s be honest right now because sonny’s just not a simple coffee importer, right? His absence kind of created a — a power vacuum, which, in turn, made it very dangerous for his “widow.” I mean, carly could have died trying to keep his company together. Well, I am sorry that I don’t know the inner workings of the mob. Look, nina, you may not have known the details, but you were very, very aware of — of the general circumstances. The bottom line is that you are a liar, and those lies created a world of damage. And I’m gonna be really clear about something right now. Carly is my friend… and I am not gonna sit around and let her get hurt. I did not tell nina I was off my medication. She figured it out. Right. And nina made a point of telling me that you needed me. And, at the time… okay. …I thought it was manipulation, but it wasn’t — it was classic nina. She was just trying to clear her conscience, so she could tell herself that she tried, when, really, what she should’ve done, sonny, is tell me that you were off your bipolar medication! I did not want you to know. Why?! I didn’t — I didn’t — why didn’t you want me to know? I didn’t want to cause you any more trouble. I didn’t want to worry you. I did not want you to come back to me out of pity! How many times have I gotten you through a breakdown? How many times? Many times. That’s why I didn’t want to ask you for help again, because of what was going on between us. Yet again… …you can’t trust me enough to tell me the truth.

[ Sighs ] That just goes to show me how far apart we’ve grown.

[ Crying ] And that breaks my heart. Family is just very important. She’s my sister and we depend on each other a lot. She’s the rock of the fami ly. She’s the person who holds everything together.

You don’t have to worry. We’ll keep an eye on harmony. I feel much better knowing that. Alexis is fierce, but… she has a weakness for underdogs. So does molly. But that weakness doesn’t extend to letting someone take advantage of her mom. I’m just sorry I can’t be there to keep alexis from getting involved in whatever shady business harmony’s involved in. I think you should tell willow the truth. I think she deserves the truth. But it’s your life. It’s your decision. So — so, you’re not gonna write me off?

[ Sighs ] You do not make this easy. But you stuck by me, and I certainly didn’t make it easy for you. So, I’m afraid you’re stuck with me. Thank you for being honest about your meds. And I appreciate you putting donna first. Always. And I still want to see donna. I just don’t — like, you know, not like overnight — you know what I mean? That’s fine with me.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Voice breaking ] Take care of yourself. You, too. I have no intention of hurting carly, again. Despite what people may think, I do not live my life with carly in mind. Yeah, you certainly weren’t thinking about her when you kept sonny in nixon falls, were you? Oh, you know what, drew? Think of something original to say. What I did was horrible, yes, but I cannot change it now.

[ Chuckling ] Oh, that is so convenient. I mean, come on, you can’t change what you did, but you expect a free pass? You actually reserve the right to feel sorry for yourself when somebody’s calling you out. Oh, and what about you? What is this — some kind of sick game you like to play, setting me up by saying, “I want to thank you,” when you obviously despise me? Hold — you approached me, right? I thanked you for what you did for maxie.

You brought up carly. You slipped in there how she was badmouthing you. Yeah, that’s right. That was my mistake. Because I don’t care what carly thinks about me. I don’t care what anyone thinks about me anymore. I just want to move on with my life. With sonny. I care about sonny! I do! But we are not together. Does he know that?

All all the way down back and forth back and forth cry through the blackout it’s back and forth

[ Breathes sharply ]

Back and forth

[ Breathing sharply ] Chase: Look, I don’t want to complicate things for brook lynn right now. I think what she needs most is a friend. So that’s — that’s what I’m going to be. At the end of the day, you’re a good man. -Thanks. -I’ll let you get back to your packing. I got to run a few errands before I head over to elizabeth’S. Ohh! I’m — I’m sorry. We just talked about me the whole time. No, that’s the way I like it. I don’t want to be talking about my feelings. Are things okay with you and elizabeth? Things between me and elizabeth are okay. Although there are some… strange things happening that have her a little on edge.

[ Door opens ]

[ Keys clatter ] Oh, god.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Brady: Happy valentine’s day.

Chloe: [Chuckles] Uh, you brought me a rose.

Brady: Yeah.

Chloe: You know this– this isn’t, like, a–

Brady: Chloe, chloe, relax. There was a kid selling them out on the street, and he was trying to raise money for his school band.

Chloe: Oh, okay. Well, thank you for being so sweet, for supporting the arts, and thank you for joining me here tonight. I really appreciate it.

Brady: Of course. I’m here to support you. Happy to lend a hand. So how are you doing?

Chloe: Mm, you mean how do i feel about meeting my dad’s new boyfriend?

[Sighs] I’m a nervous wreck.

[Exhales sharply]

Craig: Well, don’t you have a romantic setup going here.

Tripp: [Chuckles] Thank you.

Craig: Looks like you’ve got some big plans for valentine’s day.

Tripp: You could say that. Uh, I’m planning to propose to my girlfriend.

Chanel: So horton…

Allie: So dupree…

Chanel: What are you gonna do?

Allie: I don’t know. I’m not even supposed to know that tripp is proposing to me tonight. His mom spoiled the surprise.

Chanel: Okay, but now you do know, so you should probably figure out an answer for when he asks you to marry him. So are you gonna say yes?

Ben: I mean, johnny was the one who delivered the cross.

Ciara: Mm-hmm, a cross that keeps turning itself upside down every time we try to hang it.

Ben: Which is troubling.

Ciara: Yes, and johnny was at marlena’s exorcism.

Ben: He was.

Ciara: And honestly, ben, I’ve got to say, he’s been acting pretty strangely.

Ben: So what are you suggesting, ciara?

[Scoffs] That the devil just jumped from marlena to her grandson? Do we really think johnny dimera is possessed?

Johnny: Well, you know what they say, “pride goeth before the fall.”

Gabi: Is that what they say?

Johnny: Well, some people say that. I prefer, “we need to screw jake before he screws us.” And speaking of screwing, do you have any valentine’s day plans?

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

[Soft orchestration]

Allie: [Sighs] I am still trying to process this.

Chanel: You know what, i shouldn’t have asked you. Tripp’s the one proposing. He should be the first one to hear your answer, not me.

Allie: No, no, you deserve to know. You’re my best friend. And you’ve been with me through this entire relationship. Honestly, the truth is, I–I’m just so caught off guard. I mean, tripp and I never even talked about getting married.

Chanel: Well, it is valentine’s day.

Allie: Yeah, and I know a lot of people get engaged on valentine’s day, but I did not think it was my time.

Chanel: So were you thinking you might say no?

Allie: I’m just not sure. What do you think? Am I ready?

Craig: Proposing to your girlfriend. Wow, this–this is a big night. Yeah, the way I see it, it can go either spectacularly right or spectacularly wrong.

[Chuckles] I remember that feeling. Proposing to my wife, getting ready. Mind you, it was 30 years ago. And I’m pretty sure she was gonna say yes, but still, there’s that moment that you know you’re gonna remember forever, and well, those words, they just–they wouldn’t come out.

[Chuckles] Am I making this harder on you?

Tripp: A little bit, but that’s okay. I mean, you–you somehow managed, right?

Craig: Yes, yes, and she said yes, so there’s that.

Tripp: And you’ve been together for 30 years? That’s something to be proud of.

Craig: Actually, my wife and I are in the process of splitting up.

Tripp: Oh, I’m sorry to hear that.

Craig: It’s been a very difficult situation.

Tripp: I can imagine.

Craig: I don’t know, maybe. See, truth is, tonight– tonight, my daughter is supposed to meet my boyfriend, and I’m telling you, I’m just a nervous wreck about it!

[Chuckles]

[Sighs]

Brady: I understand that you’re nervous about tonight, but your dad has to know that this is awkward for you. So don’t–don’t put any pressure on yourself. You’re allowed to feel however you need to feel about this, and your dad is just gonna have to deal with it.

Chloe: Yeah, but what if i don’t like the guy? Or even worse, what if I do like him?

Brady: If you do like him? How is that even worse?

Chloe: I don’t know. I–I guess I’d just feel like I’d be betraying my mom.

Brady: There’s nothing wrong with you wanting both of your parents to be happy, chloe. What is nancy doing tonight?

Chloe: Well, I left her in the hotel room, where’s she’s watching old movies on peacock and acting very depressed. At least I persuaded her to order some room service before I left.

Brady: [Sighs] She’s tough. She’s gonna get through this.

Chloe: Yeah, I know, but it’s gonna–it’s gonna take time.

Brady: Does she know about this dinner?

Chloe: No; I mean, I kind of wanted to tell her, but what was I gonna say? “Hey, mom, instead of staying here and eating cheeseburgers with you and watching sappy movies, I’ve got to meet dad’s new boyfriend. Bye.”

[Sighs]

Johnny: So, what do you say? You want to go upstairs? Jake shouldn’t be the only one closing deals.

Gabi: [Chuckles] Until our other deal goes through, I think we should keep our mind on business.

Johnny: Oh, I’m very good at multitasking.

Gabi: I’m sure you are, but I prefer to stay focused on dimera and titan.

Johnny: Come on. It’s valentine’s day. We’re off the clock. Neither one of us is with someone we love.

Gabi: So we should love the one we’re with?

Johnny: Who said anything about love?

Gabi: Oh, so just meaningless sex.

Johnny: First of all, sex with me is far from meaningless.

Gabi: Oh, really?

Johnny: Your boyfriend is plotting against you. My soon-to-be ex-wife is trying to clean me out. We both deserve to have a little fun.

Ben: So the devil is in johnny?

Ciara: Look, I know it sounds crazy, but we did hear my grandmother say that satan possessed my grandfather before he jumped into marlena. So what if maybe at the exorcism, the devil just wanted us to think that he was gone?

Ben: But instead found a new host body? This is unbelievable, ciara.

Ciara: I mean, is it any more unbelievable than anything else we’ve ever been through?

Ben: I guess not. It would explain why that cross kept flipping upside down. It’s because johnny’s the one who delivered it.

Ciara: And it makes sense. Grandma julie bought that to protect us.

Ben: And we know the devil would do anything to break through that protection.

Ciara: So johnny shows up at my grandma’s house, sees the cross, and then, all of a sudden, this big fire bursts out out of nowhere, stopping my grandma from delivering it.

Ben: And leaves him with the prime opportunity to deliver the cross himself.

Ciara: And make sure that our brand-new home has the mark of the devil.

These are the faces

Ben: If johnny really has been the devil this entire time, who knows what kind of damage he’s already done? We’d have to retrace all of his steps since the exorcism and get in contact with everybody who he’s talked to.

Ciara: Oh, slow down, babe. Um, this is still just a theory.

Ben: Okay, so this is just a theory now? You’re not sure.

Ciara: Well, no, I– it’s just once you have come face-to-face with the devil, maybe it easy to see him everywhere else.

Ben: Still, the more I think about it, it just makes more sense.

Ciara: All right, so let’s think. Do we have any more evidence?

Ben: When jake was here, he was explaining to me about this big party they had for johnny and chanel’s wedding.

Ciara: Mm-hmm. Right, I heard about that. He broke up with chanel during that, didn’t he?

Ben: Yeah, in a room full of people. It was like the guy intentionally set out to, like, cause this big scene and humiliate her.

Ciara: Yeah, that’s really weird. Why would he do it publicly?

Ben: Well, according to jake, johnny’s been hitting on gabi now.

Ciara: Which makes him a player and a garbage human being, but that doesn’t necessarily prove that he is the devil.

Ben: Right, but it’s still giving jake bad vibes about this guy.

Ciara: Again, doesn’t exactly provide proof of demonic possession. And not to play devil’s advocate here, but…

Ben: Ha.

> Ciara: I don’t know, maybe jake has a bad vibe because he’s the jealous boyfriend.

Jake: Hey, hey, maggie.

Maggie: Jake, what are you doing here?

Jake: Oh, henderson let me in. I came to see what’s going on.

Maggie: Okay?

Jake: Got your message.

Maggie: What message?

Jake: Maggie, you sent me a message a little bit ago? Said it was urgent?

Maggie: I never texted you. I haven’t seen my phone since I misplaced it yesterday.

Jake: What? You didn’t send me a text.

Maggie: It wasn’t me. But listen, since you’re here, I spoke to victor regarding what we talked about.

Jake: Sorry, what was that?

Maggie: I was talking about victor. I relayed the terms of our agreement, and he had some questions

Jake: I’m gonna have to get back to you on that. I got to go look into something.

Johnny: [Sighs] Look, I know this hasn’t been easy on you. You put your faith in jake, and he let you down. He made you think that he loved you. He lied to your face. And now, he’s off double-dealing again with maggie? I can only imagine how disappointing that must be for you, but I promise that I won’t disappoint you. In business. Or anywhere. So what do you say? Why don’t we go upstairs and make this a valentine’s day to remember?

Gabi: I’m sorry. I can’T.

Johnny: Can’t or won’t?

Gabi: I’m–I’m just not ready to go that far yet.

Johnny: “Yet”? But you’re not ruling it out?

Gabi: Let’s just see how this meeting goes.

Johnny: Are you really gonna leave me here all by myself?

Gabi: I’m sure you’ll be just fine. I want to go home, and I want to prepare for the meeting. And aren’t you still married?

[Sighs]

Johnny: I don’t like being rejected. And I don’t like being left alone. What’s a horny devil to do with himself?

Craig: Truth is, I–

[Sighs] I never expected to be in this situation. For the longest time, I convinced myself and my wife that, well, we had a great marriage. Truth is, she’s very angry at me now, needless to say, and my daughter completely blindsided.

Tripp: She’s willing to meet your boyfriend.

Craig: Yeah, yeah. Uh, she agreed. I was thinking maybe it’s unfair that I asked her, and– maybe I should just text her, tell her I’ve got food poisoning, and call off the whole thing.

Tripp: Maybe not the best idea.

Craig: Yeah. Postponing the inevitable.

Tripp: Yeah.

Craig: [Chuckles] I–I have no idea why I’m confiding in you like this. I’m sorry, it’s just, uh– pretty nervous about tonight and the whole situation and needed to talk to someone. And you’re very kind. I appreciate that, but I should really let you get back to your plans.

Tripp: That’s–it’s okay. You’re going through a lot, so I understand the need to– you know, wanting to share that with someone.

Craig: Thank you. Thank you, but again, you need to practice. You’re in a good mood. Stay in that good mood and practice what you’re gonna do.

Tripp: I mean, there’s not too many ways you can, right? I mean, you know, “will you marry me?” You know, the only way to say it.

Craig: Yeah, man, it’s– it’s the way to go. Let me give you some advice that I’ve been giving myself. Um, if you’re feeling nervous, it’s worth doing. Good luck.

Tripp: Same to you.

[Gentle music]

Chanel: You know, I’m probably not the best person to giving advice on marriage considering how mine have worked out…

Allie: Okay, first of all, the xander marriage did not count.

Chanel: And johnny?

Allie: Well, it’s not your fault that my brother is the worst.

Chanel: Yeah, but I chose to marry the guy.

Allie: Did you have doubts when we asked you?

Chanel: That’s the thing, I didn’T. I mean, yeah, I was surprised, but I think I said yes before he even finished asking the question.

Allie: Because he was convincing.

Chanel: Because it felt right.

[Phone beeps] Is it from tripp?

Allie: Uh-huh. He wants me to meet him. My god, is this it?

Chanel: It looks like you have a question to answer.

Allie: Yeah.

Chanel: Horton, no matter what you decide, you know I love you.

Allie: Back at you, dupree.

[Pensive music]

Is now a good time

for a flare-up?

Jake: Hey.

Gabi: Hey. What did maggie want?

Jake: Actually, she didn’t want anything.

Gabi: I thought she said it was urgent.

Jake: Apparently, maggie never sent that text.

Gabi: What are you talking about? I saw the text myself.

Jake: I–we both saw it. Maggie claims she lost her phone, hasn’t seen it since yesterday.

Gabi: That makes no sense.

Jake: No, it doesn’T. Unless it does.

Gabi: What do you think is going on?

Jake: I think that little punk johnny dimera stole her phone and sent me that message.

Johnny: Happy valentine’s day.

Chanel: What’s so happy about it?

Johnny: Well, I’m sure we can figure something out. Wanna grab a drink? You wanna grab a drink with the woman you just dumped on valentine’s day?

Johnny: Look, you’re still upset, I get it.

Chanel: Oh, I’m so glad you get it.

Johnny: You have every right to be angry with the way that I treated you, but we had fun together, didn’t we?

Chanel: I don’t remember.

Johnny: I do. I always loved being with you. Just ’cause we’re getting divorced doesn’t mean the fun has to stop.

Chloe: Ah, salty.

Brady: Yeah. You know, what if–why don’t you take it easy on the nuts? Okay, you don’t wanna choke to death before you meet your dad’s new man.

Chloe: My dad’s new man. That’s gonna take some time getting used to.

Brady: Drink.

Chloe: Mm, thank you. Thank you for dealing with my mess tonight.

Brady: [Laughs] Come on, are you kidding me? I’m-I’m happy I’m here. I’m here to support you, you know that. It’s definitely an interesting situation.

Chloe: [Chuckles] Interesting is one way to put it. Do you think it’s interesting that you have to spend your valentine’s day holding my hand because I am freaking out?

Brady: It’s fine. It beats last year, remember? I spent valentine’s day in the hospital, recovering from a gunshot wound. This is better.

Chloe: How could I forget? I almost lost you.

Brady: Well, you didn’T. I’m here, I’m good, and look. No bullet holes. I’m healthy. This is much better. It’s an improvement.

Chloe: Well, yeah, I guess it doesn’t take last place, but we’ve-we’ve had some nice valentine’s day in the past, right?

Brady: [Laughs] Name one.

Chloe: [Laughs]

Brady: Seriously, all I can think about is the disasters with that. Vienna–vienna, remember? I couldn’t get reservations anywhere in that whole place?

Chloe: Yeah, ’cause you waited till last minute.

Brady: Well, who would’ve thought valentine’s day was a big deal in austria? Come on.

Chloe: Vienna is one of the most romantic cities in the world.

Brady: I knew that. I mean, I know that now.

Chloe: Ah. We made it work, though, didn’t we?

Brady: Yeah, we did.

Chloe: Remember that outdoor café we found with that little string quartet?

Brady: Yeah. It was freezing.

Chloe: [Laughs] I know, but I remember you took my hand, and we waltzed on the sidewalk.

Brady: And I remember that sidewalk because it was snowing, an wd itas so slippery that the two of us almost fell on our asses.

Chloe: [Laughs] Okay, so maybe it wasn’t the smoothest waltz, but I do remember that we laughed so hard that we just kind of slowly sank to the ground.

Brady: Yeah, we sank to the ground.

Chloe: [Sighs] Then you took me in your arms, and I-I remember how you kissed me. People everywhere living with

Chloe: Brady, I, uh… maybe–

Craig: Hey, honey. So sorry I’m late.

Chloe: Oh, hey, dad, hi.

Craig: I’m glad you are here. Hey, brady.

Brady: Mm, craig.

Craig: Are you, uh, meeting someone here for valentine’s day?

Brady: Um, no, not exactly.

Chloe: I-I invited brady to join us tonight, if that’s okay with you?

Chanel: Why the hell would i want to go anywhere with you?

Johnny: Never had a drink with a friend?

Chanel: A fri–you think we’re friends?

Johnny: Why not?

Chanel: Are you seriously asking that question?

Johnny: I just don’t know when things got so nasty between us.

Chanel: This isn’t about us being friends. This is about the lawsuit. You’re worried about me coming after your money.

Johnny: What money?

Chanel: Are you kidding me?

Johnny: My family’s rich. That doesn’t mean I control any of it–you should know that better than anyone. You couldn’t even pay your rent for a while.

Chanel: You are unbelievable.

Johnny: I’m just saying, you think this divorce is gonna somehow turn into some big payoff for you, you should think again. The only people getting richer are the lawyers.

Chanel: I’m done with this.

Johnny: You can–fine. All right, you can’t avoid me. We both live in salem, you’re business partners with my sister and much more.

Chanel: You leave allie out of this.

Johnny: Okay. I’m just saying, isn’t there some way we can try and figure this out without the lawyers? Let’s go someplace, talk. Just the two of us.

Gabi: You think johnny was pretending to be maggie? Why-why would he do that?

Jake: Who knows what goes on in that kid’s head? Maybe he wanted some alone time with you.

Gabi: So he broke into the kiriakis mansion and stole maggie’s phone? I mean, that’s a pretty elaborate scheme, knowing you’d just–you’d figure it out as soon as you got there.

Jake: Yeah, I admit, it’s, uh, doesn’t make much sense.

Gabi: At least you admit it.

Jake: [Scoffs] You have any other theories, detective benson?

Gabi: The other theory is, you’re lying.

Jake: [Scoffs] What?

Gabi: I know you have no reason to lie to me, so we can take that out of the equation.

Jake: No, I don’t have any reason to lie to you. Now, johnny, on the other hand– think about it. We have a strong bond, right? He’s on the outside, so it would benefit him to shake things up a little bit.

Gabi: I still don’t know what he’d gain by having you go over to see maggie.

Jake: What did he say to you after I left the mansion?

Gabi: Nothing–I told him I would contact him, then I came home.

Jake: I don’t trust the guy.

Gabi: I know you don’T. I know you don’t, but look. We don’t have to be partners for life with johnny. We just have to trust him long enough for him to call this meeting. Once we have his shares in place along with ours, then you can be the ceo of dimera, and I can be the ceo of titan. That’s what we’ve always wanted, no?

Jake: Yeah.

Gabi: You sure that’s what you still want?

Jake: Of course. I mean, but what I really want right now is for us to stop talking business.

Ciara: Jake thinks that johnny is trying to take gabi away from him; that doesn’t necessarily make him the most credible observer.

Ben: Right, but you have to admit, these are still red flags, ciara.

Ciara: Yeah, definitely. And if there is a chance that the devil is still in salem, we need to know about it.

Ben: Yeah, and fast.

Ciara: Oh, my god. Ben, I thought this was over. I really did–I thought that you and I were gonna be safe. I thought that our baby was gonna be safe, but–

Ben: Hey. I am not going to let anything happen to our baby, I promise you. You know I would do everything in my power to protect you both.

Ciara: But johnny is marlena’s grandson.

Ben: Yeah, and I understand that, and this woman has already gone through enough; the last thing I wanna do is cause her any more pain, but…

Ciara: Which, accusing her grandson her grandson of being the devil will definitely do. There has to be a way that we figure all of this out without getting her involved.

Ben: Hmm. Well, I can’t say I’m thrilled with this solution, but what if we talked to susan banks?

Tripp: [Sighs] Not bad.

Allie: Wow.

Tripp: Allie.

Allie: You did all this for me?

Tripp: You? No. No, no, no, I just needed to make a couple extra bucks, so I started an event planning business.

Allie: Oh, okay. Well, um, your clients are going to be very impressed.

Tripp: Yeah? Even though we’re outdoors in much colder weather than I was expecting?

Allie: It’s a beautiful night. I think it’s perfect to be out under the stars.

Tripp: I just thought it’d be a little more private than some restaurant.

Allie: Definitely, and– and this would make any girl feel special. It’s beautiful.

Tripp: So is my inspiration.

Allie: Thank you. What?

Tripp: Uh, look, um. I was planning on waiting to do this after our meal when we were, you know, gazing into each other’s eyes over dessert, but now that I have you here… I realize there’s no way I can wait that long, so… I’m just–I’m just gonna, uh…

Allie: Oh.

Tripp: [Laughs] Allie, I’ve never been happier than I am when I’m with you. We both came out of the darkest periods of our lives, and we pulled each other back out into the world. You gave me a life. You gave me hope. And I wanna spend the rest of our days trying to make you as happy as you’ve made me. I want to be your husband. I wanna be henry’s father. I want us to be a family. So… allie horton… will you marry me?

Allie: Yes.

Tripp: Yes?

Allie: Yes, tripp, I’ll marry you.

[Both laugh]

[Heartfelt music]

Chanel: My mom says that I should stay away from you and let the lawyers handle this.

Johnny: Mm, is that what you want? Turn our lives into some messy court battle?

Chanel: No!

Johnny: Then–what? Why don’t we just go someplace, sit down, figure it out, just the two of us. We can go back to your place. Or mine.

Chanel: Hell no.

Johnny: What’s wrong with my place?

Chanel: Everything! I’m never going back there again, johnny. If we are going to talk, we have to do it someplace a bit more private than in the middle of the square.

Johnny: There’s– there’s no one here now.

Chanel: Okay, but that could change at any minute, and it could get busy, so… follow me.

Jake: What’s wrong?

Gabi: Nothing, I’m just a little distracted.

Jake: By?

Gabi: I told you, I wanted to check on my brother.

Jake: [Sighs] Right, and then johnny interrupted you.

Gabi: Yeah, I never found out what happened in court. I wanna see how the first day of, uh, the trial went for rafe.

Jake: Of course.

Gabi: [Sighs] Oh, my god.

Jake: What is it?

Gabi: Nothing good. Not only did rafe’s accuser testify, but apparently, trask caught nicole trying to tamper with the witness.

Craig: I’m glad you invited brady, I–I know how close the two of you are, and, well, I understand how difficult it might be for you to meet the new man in my life.

Chloe: Yeah, I have to admit I’m a bit nervous about it. And I-I thought that brady being here, you know, he’d keep me from saying or doing something I shouldn’T.

Craig: Well, to be quite honest, I’ve been a little nervous myself. And then I started to think about it, and I went, “you don’t have anything to worry about,” because this guy that I’m seeing,” I mean, I gotta tell you, he is gonna put us all at ease. He’s funny, he’s–he’s got this gift of finding the humor in every situation, even if it’s a difficult one.

Chloe: Mm, funny– funny is good.

Craig: Yeah. He’s kind–he’s very kind. And I’m sure he is gonna love the both of you as you’re gonna love him. Life’s been hard enough.

Gabi: This is bad. This is really bad.

Jake: Hey, hey, gabi, look. It’s just the first day of the trial, all right? Prosecutor has done her job, it looks bad for the defense before they get their turn. It’s gonna be okay.

Gabi: I’m sorry, I-I cannot do this right now.

Jake: Right now or ever, apparently.

Gabi: What is that supposed to mean?

Jake: It’s valentine’s day, gabi–you’ve been acting weird all day.

Gabi: No, I haven’T.

Jake: You have. You have–I-I covered the bed in rose petals, I brought you chocolates.

Gabi: That I was allergic to.

Jake: I didn’t know about, okay? And more importantly, you’ve been acting all day like you don’t care about me, unless you’re being openly hostile, so what’s going on?

Gabi: You have to ask?

Jake: Yeah, I do.

Gabi: My brother is on trial for his life.

Jake: You sure that’s what this is about?

Gabi: What else would it be?

Jake: I don’t know, gabi, but it seems personal. We okay?

Gabi: We’re great. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to find some answers.

[Apprehensive music]

Ciara: What does susan banks know about johnny being possessed?

Ben: She seems to kind of have a sixth sense for this kind of thing. She was the one that warned us about the devil in the first place.

Ciara: Yeah, and she did have the premonition about how the devil was after her baby.

Ben: Exactly, and she recognized that dr. Evans was possessed before anybody else.

Ciara: Right, so if the devil is still in salem…

Ben: She is the one who would be able to sense it.

Ciara: You might be right. However, there’s only one issue with that.

Ben: What’s that?

Ciara: Johnny is her grandson, and she would do anything to protect him. I don’t know how happy she’s gonna be, getting a phone call from us, accusing her grandbaby of being the devil.

Tripp: Hmm. Mmm, that is really good.

Allie: Told you.

Tripp: You know, I feel like everything just tastes a little better when it’s being fed to you by your fiancéE.

Allie: You just wanted to say that word, didn’t you?

Tripp: Well, that’s what you are–my fiancéE. And pretty soon, my wife.

Chanel: Horton, tripp. I’m so sorry, I didn’t know you guys were here.

Johnny: Oops.

Chanel: Um, come on. Let’s go somewhere else.

Allie: Wait, um, dupree, what are you doing with him?

Johnny: Well, hello to you, too, sis.

Chanel: No, it’s-it’s cool. Johnny just wanted to talk about the divorce.

Johnny: But this looks romantic. What do you two have going on out here?

Your mission:

Gabi: Um, excuse me– can someone, um, help. Thank you for all your help.

[Apprehensive music]

Jake: Happy valentine’s day.

Gabi: This doesn’t make sense, jake. How could you betray me like this?

Craig: I-I don’t know what is holding him up. There’s no texts, no messages.

Chloe: Dad, it’s okay. He’s only, like, a few minutes late.

Craig: Well, I-I’m gonna text him again. He’s probably got a lot of traffic.

Brady: Yeah, that’s probably it.

Chloe: Well, when he does get here, I just realized, I don’t even know his name.

Brady: Leo stark.

Craig: Uh–how did you know?

Leo: Happy valentine’s day.

Craig: Hi!

[Laughs]

Ciara: Babe, I still don’t know if calling susan is such a good idea. I mean, what if we tell her about johnny, and then she warns him?

Ben: Well, ciara, we have to just hope she does the right thing. Unless you have a better idea– I’m all ears.

Ciara: Fine, make the call.

Ben: Yeah?

Ciara: What are you even gonna say to her? Like, “hey, susan, hi, what’s up? How you doing? Is your grandson possessed?” It’s kinda weird.

[Line trilling]

[Machine beeps]

Ben: Hey, susan. It’s ben weston. Uh, give me a call back when you get this. There’s just something I need talk to you about, and it’s pretty important. Thank you. Pretty important? God, I just panicked. That was so stupid.

Ciara: No, it– that’s all right. She’s probably out with roger for valentine’s day anyway.

Ben: Yeah. So we may not get any answers tonight anyway, right?

Ciara: I guess we will just have to wait.

Ben: I guess so.

Ciara: Let’s really hope that we are just jumping to some crazy conclusion and that the devil is out of salem for good.

Ben: Ciara, if we’re not, and he is here, and he’s after our baby, we’re gonna get through it. We’re gonna deal with it. ‘Cause we’re together.

Allie: Guess what? Tripp proposed!

Chanel: Did he?

Tripp: And allie said yes.

Chanel: Oh, well–wow! That’s, uh–congratulations. I-I’m really happy for you two. I–I just meant between my divorce and this movie, and– I really need to get away from johnny. But I promise you that this isn’t about us sleeping together.

Allie: Johnny? Aren’t you going to say something?

Johnny: Like what?

Allie: I don’t know, like maybe congratulations? You can’t be a little happy for your twin sister?

Johnny: No, I am, I– I’m just curious to find out if you told tripp before you accepted his proposal.

Tripp: Told me what?

Johnny: That she slept with my wife.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Upbeat music ]

Taylor: I imagine you’re experiencing every emotion in the book. I know I am. It’s a lot to process. Remember, there are no expectations here, no matter what the kids are saying. You said you wanted to come home? This is your home. The kids and I will always be your safe place. You’re safe.

Brooke: I’ve heard enough out of you, sheila.

Sheila: The truth hurts, doesn’t it, brooke?

Brooke: What do you know about the truth? Nothing. Because this doesn’t even concern you. So, go. Just leave. Get the hell out of my house!

Sheila: You’ve been so cruel to me. Not willing to show one ounce of compassion. And look at where you are. You’re in this great, big house all by yourself. And now, you are finally going to know what it feels like to lose someone you love.

Deacon: If I had known how much trouble this would have caused, I would never have been drinking with your mother. I swear.

Hope: Yeah. You both made quite a mess. But, there is a way you can make it right.

Deacon: You want me to go to ridge and tell him to take your mother back.

Hope: Yes. I want you to try and save their marriage.

Carter: What have we done?

Paris: Exactly what we’re about to do again and again…

Carter: And again.

Hope: I know I’m putting you on the spot.

Deacon: No, it’S… it’s okay. You’re worried about your mother, I get that. I’m just kind of surprised you’re asking me to do this.

Hope: Well, I wouldn’t be asking if it wasn’t important.

Deacon: Fo– forrester despise me. I mean, I got the bruises to prove it. He’s not going to listen to me.

Hope: You know what? Ridge should’ve never done that to you.

Deacon: Hope, listen to me when I tell you this. I could’ve taken him out. I went easy on him. I’m just not sure this is a good idea.

Ridge: I, um… I feel myself here. And you and the kids and their kids, they just make me… I feel a sense of stability. Does that make sense?

Taylor: Yes, it does.

Ridge: And you’re right. This is complicated and… I am. I’m running the gamut.

Taylor: Hey, look. I would be more worried about you if you weren’t experiencing all of these emotions.

Ridge: I know what I’m experiencing. I just wish there was something tangible. And I’m sorry to keep bringing up brooke–

Taylor: Don’t be sorry about it, ridge. You’re processing. This is so important.

Ridge: But, I don’t know if I am processing it because it doesn’t make sense to me. Why does it– why does everything go wrong again?

Sheila: Couldn’t control yourself. You boozed it up. Cheated with deacon.

Brooke: It wasn’t like that.

Sheila: You didn’t turn to deacon? Yeah. That’s what I thought. You know, I’m sure ridge is tired of all the excuses.

Brooke: I am not making excuses. I take full responsibility for what happened that night.

Carter: Mm… we shouldn’t be doing this.

Paris: Give me one good reason.

Carter: I can’T.

Paris: That’s right. You can’T. You have nothing to feel bad about, carter, and neither do I. There’s nothing wrong with anything that’s happening here. So, can we stop thinking about everyone else except the two of us?

Hope: I’m watching her try so hard to keep her marriage from crumbling and she has begged ridge to understand that her loyalty is to him and not to you.

Deacon: But he doesn’t want to hear it.

Hope: I just– I don’t know what else to do.

Deacon: Look, it’s no fun being the cause of their issues. I didn’t come back to L.A. To complicate brooke’s life.

Hope: I believe you. Heck, when I look back on things, I…

[ Hope sighing ] I wish I had respected ridge’s concerns because it did drive a wedge between the two of them and I need to take some responsibility for that.

Deacon: Well, so do I.

Hope: So, are you saying that you will go to ridge and try to make him see the other side of things?

Deacon: Yes, I’ll do it, but I am not making any guarantees.

Taylor: I know you’re still struggling and I don’t want to leave, but I have a paying patient that’s waiting for me, so.

Ridge: A paying patient? Okay, cool. That’s–

Taylor: No, I–

Ridge: No, no, no. Don’t do that. I can sit on your couch a little more. I have money. What do you– what do you need?

Taylor: It’s– it’s about all of this, ridge. It’s about… brooke being brooke. She sabotaged your marriage again. And I know that she is eager to figure out what led her to drink, and so are you. But we may never know why and– and those answers that you are so desperately trying to figure out may never come.

Brooke: You know, sheila? This doesn’t involve you in any way whatsoever. So, just stop sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong.

Sheila: You touch me like that again and this will be the last time that you do. And I could say the same thing for you, brooke. Who are you to try and keep me away from my son? My grandson? Treating me like I’m the town pariah?

Brooke: I am just trying to save them from your influence.

Sheila: My influence? Oh, my god. Like you’re the one to talk about– about that. You get a little tipsy and– and you– you kiss your ex while your husband is stuck in a blizzard?

Brooke: Unlike you, I own my mistakes. There was a part of me that laid dormant for a very long time and it resurfaced somehow. And I still don’t know how and I don’t know why. But, I am making sure I am doing everything I possibly can to make sure that side of me doesn’t materialize again.

[ Sheila laughing ]

Sheila: How self aware. I think it’s too little, too late since ridge has already gone back to taylor. Oh, I guess that mean your destiny with ridge is over.

[ Brooke sighing ]

[ Sheila laughing ] Bummer.

(Ziploc tab zip opening)

Liam: Hey.

Hope: Oh, there you are!

Liam: Yeah, sorry. Driving, couldn’t text you back. What’s going on?

Hope: Yeah, um, so… I did something.

Liam: You did something? What kind of something? What do you mean?

Hope: Um… something that I– that I hope is good and helpful?

Liam: What did you did?

Hope: I asked my dad to go to ridge on my mom’s behalf.

[ Knocking on door ]

Ridge: What the hell are you doing here?

Deacon: Just hear me out before you go–

Ridge: Why do we even have security? Why?

Deacon: I’m here to do something I didn’t think I would do in a million years.

Ridge: And what is that? Tell me that you’re a homewrecking loser? Common knowledge.

Deacon: I’m here to convince you to go back to brooke.

Taylor: Yes, good work today, jamie. Oh, it was my pleasure. So, same time next week, right?

[ Taylor laughing ] I will. See you next tuesday. Brooke. Please don’t come to my office unannounced.

Brooke: I’m sure it’s no secret as to why I’m here.

Taylor: No, I know why you’re here.

Brooke: I’m sure you do. You always have me pegged, all figured out. Well, you should know how fiercely I fight for what I love. And you should know better than anybody that I will never let you steal my husband away.

New poligrip power

Paris: That was incredible. Like, the best ever.

Carter: Just about to say the same thing.

Paris: Then, I guess we must be a perfect match.

Carter: Guess so.

Paris: I know you said you couldn’t do this, but I don’t regret it. We’re free. There’s nothing keeping us from being together.

Liam: You asked deacon to go to ridge?

Hope: Yup. I was hoping that he might be able to convince ridge that the night between him and my mother didn’t mean anything. Do you think I made a mistake?

Liam: Well, I don’t know– I don’t know. Maybe, maybe not? Maybe not. But, you remember what happened last time they were in the same room together, right? They almost ripped each other’s heads off.

Ridge: You came all the way up here to tell me about my wife.

Deacon: Look, I get it, all right. You hate me, I’m the worst guy on the planet, blah, blah, blah. The thought of me and brooke together makes you nuts. It was one kiss.

Ridge: One kiss, two kisses, on top of the covers, under the covers, really doesn’t matter. It was betrayal.

Deacon: You’ve already forgiven her, right? I mean, you– you already forgave her, you can do it again.

Ridge: Thank you, deacon, for telling me what I can and can’t do.

Deacon: You are a stubborn son of a bitch, aren’t you? This is what happened. It was a drunken kiss and then she stopped us from beating the hell out of each other. Now, why can’t you just let it go? Or maybe you don’t want to?

Ridge: What’s that supposed to mean?

Deacon: What it means is you couldn’t have run back to taylor any faster if you were usain bolt, could you? Yeah. I heard all about it. I didn’t hear about it from brooke ’cause I haven’t seen her, but you need to. As much as I hate to admit it, she wants you, not me, you and only you.

Ridge: You really are a piece of work, aren’t you?

Deacon: What– what can I say here? You wanna be mad at somebody, be mad at me, not brooke. Don’t do what you always do, which is run back to taylor crying.

Taylor: Okay. Okay, I understand that you’re upset, brooke, and believe it or not, I… I wish things had gone differently.

Brooke: Me too.

Taylor: Do you remember when I first came back to town? We talked about being friends?

Brooke: Yes. Yes, I do. How ironic, considering you made out with my husband.

Taylor: I did. I don’t think you’re really in a place judge though, are you brooke, really? I mean, how did we get here? It’s the same story, the same patterns over and over. Why?

Brooke: I didn’t come here for a therapy session.

Taylor: Why is it you consistently ruin what you have with ridge? It’s usually with some guy who’s giving you attention. Someone that ridge hates. It’s a dysfunctional pattern you have there, brooke. And you also told my grandson, douglas, just to forget what he saw. Don’t tell anybody. I think you can benefit from getting some help.

Brooke: Possibly. But, how I would benefit most is if you were to keep your hands and your lips off my husband. Are we really doing this again, taylor? I mean, really? Yes, I had one night that I regret with deacon, but I was under the influence. I’m an alcoholic and that’s something I thought you would understand because you’re a professional. You’re a psychiatrist and you help people, but no, no… you took advantage. Ridge was hurt and he was disillusioned. He just needed time to cool off. He would have come back to me that night.

Taylor: But he didn’T.

Brooke: No, he didn’t because you didn’t give him one second before you pounced. You and your children, all over him, getting into his head, keeping him away from me.

Taylor: Brooke, stop.

Brooke: Oh, come on. Don’t even deny it. You know it’s true. What you’re doing is wrong. You’re the one who’s going to end up getting hurt because I love my husband. I am not going to let him go. I’m not going to let our future go. You should know that and I sure as hell am not going to let you, you interfere in my marriage.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Anna is at home wondering what is taking so long when Tony then returns home. Anna rushes up and hugs him. Anna asks if he’s alright as she had been so worried. Tony responds that he’s fine, Kristen got away, but he and Chad were able to bring Abigail, Steve, and Kayla safely home. Anna admits she had a queasy feeling when she heard where he was headed. Tony acknowledges the island does have history. Anna brings up his romantic trip with Renee DuMonde. Tony says that was a lifetime ago. Anna states that it was silly to bring up since they know Renee is long dead. Tony then informs her that Renee was there.

Steve and Kayla have Sarah in the hospital. Sarah questions why she’s being held in this hospital against her will. Kayla says they are just running tests. Sarah reminds them that they weren’t poisoned and demands that they stop calling her Sarah.

Ava sits in the interrogation room, remarking that the three losers who framed Rafe better not have ratted her out. Chad enters the room and greets her. Ava asks what he’s doing here. Chad responds that he’s here to find out why she kidnapped his wife and who helped her do it.

Gwen has a nightmare about Abigail showing up at her and Xander’s door with the truth about what happened to Sarah.

Anna doesn’t understand since they know Renee DuMonde died years ago. Tony clarifies that he meant “Renee” because that’s what she calls herself and actually believes that she is Renee. Anna asks who she really is. Tony reveals that it’s Sarah Horton.

Kayla tells Sarah that she is Sarah and only thinks she isn’t because of the drug she was injected with last year. Sarah questions how a drug can make her think that she’s someone else. Steve says they aren’t sure yet. Kayla says that’s why they need to do an MRI and CT scan to check brain damage. Sarah wants to get home to Tony and Chad.

Ava claims to have no idea what Chad is talking about and that she doesn’t even know Abigail. Chad says the police believe otherwise. Ava questions what the police think she did with Abigail. Chad says locked her away on a deserted island where he just found her. Ava asks if he thinks she brought her there. Chad says maybe not personally, but she was masquerading as Sarah at the airfield when Abigail was knocked out. Ava says she didn’t lay a hand on her. Chad says someone knocked Abigail unconscious and Ava was there, so he asks who was helping her. Ava thinks back to Gwen knocking Abigail out at the airfield. Chad tells Ava that she can act innocent, but he’s not leaving until she identifies her accomplice.

Gwen wakes up from her nightmare about Abigail telling Xander about Sarah in a panic. Xander asks her what’s going on and if she’s alright.

Jack and Jennifer anxiously wait at home for Abigail to return. Abigail comes in and they rush up to embrace her, check on her, and tell her how glad they are that she’s home. Abigail assures that she’s fine. Jennifer asks where Chad is. Abigail reveals that he went to go confront her kidnapper.

Ava tells Chad that the mask was just a harmless prank. Chad argues that she still stood there and did nothing while someone knocked out his wife and dragged her onto the plane. Chad asks who it was. Ava claims she can’t answer that question. Chad argues that she can but doesn’t want to. Chad brings up he and Tony talking to Ned Grainger and he was the one who told them where Abigail was. Chad adds that Kristen was there at the island so she didn’t knock Abigail out. Ava repeats that she can’t answer his question. Chad tells her that she will just have to answer to the police. Ava argues that she hasn’t committed a crime. Chad calls her an accessory to kidnapping. Ava claims to have nothing to do with it. Chad knows all about her past and says the crimes may seem meaningless to her but this is about his wife and the mother of his children, so he’s going to make damn sure that someone pays for what they did to her. Chad adds that Ava could walk out with a slap on the wrist if she just turns on her partner.

Gwen tells Xander that it was just a bad dream. Xander asks if she remembers what it was about this time since it’s been happening a lot recently. Xander asks if it would help to talk about it. Gwen claims it was about Dr. Snyder. Xander says he hasn’t thought about him for a minute and says no wonder she’s so rattled. Gwen calls it terrifying and claims that he had come back from the dead in her dream and that he told her Xander was just using her to get over Sarah. Xander hopes her subconscious didn’t come up with this dream because she doubts his feelings for her. Gwen doesn’t know why she had the dream but says it scared her half to death. Xander informs her that he dreamed last night that they were married with four kids. Xander admits he didn’t dream about it but he daydreams of it all the time. Xander reminds Gwen that they are getting married soon and that wouldn’t be happening if he didn’t adore her and want to spend the rest of his life with her. Gwen knows that his feelings for her are genuine and that he loves her. Gwen can’t wait to be his wife. Xander comments on her bad dreams and asks if she’s nervous about Abigail coming home. Gwen asks why she would be nervous about that. Xander tells Gwen to tell him.

Kayla knows it’s a lot to process as she tells Sarah that Chad is not her brother and she’s not a DiMera. Kayla says that her name is Sarah Horton and she can prove it. Sarah asks to be let out of the hospital. Kayla says she can’t because a lot of friends and family love and miss her. Kayla asks her to let them do these tests as she’s confident in a treatment plan for her. Kayla mentions that Abigail recovered from a very similar condition, so she can too. Steve says they want to help her any way they can. Sarah then decides that whatever is going on, she wants to know the truth about her life, so she tells Kayla to run the tests. Kayla thinks she’s making a wise decision and will go set them up. Steve decides to let Sarah rest and tells her to hang in there. Sarah thanks them as Kayla says she’ll be back. Kayla and Steve then exit the room.

Abigail reveals to Jack and Jennifer that Ava was under the Sarah mask. Jennifer questions why she would do that. Abigail says Ava claimed it was a prank but she knew it was more and then someone came up behind her and knocked her out. Abigail adds that Chad is with Ava now and he’s determined to find out who it was.

Ava questions Chad thinking she would just get to walk after giving him a name. Chad says the district attorney will want the big fish. Chad adds that his wife was the victim and his name has a lot of pull in town so he could convince Melinda to cut Ava a deal. Ava argues that he has no way of knowing that Melinda would say yes. Chad asks what her alternative is and why she would want to go down for someone else’s crime.

Steve finishes a call at the hospital, updating Brady on everyone being safe. Steve tells Kayla that he was waiting until Sarah’s test results to call Maggie, hoping that they can give her good news. Kayla says the tests are ready so she’s going to bring Sarah in.

Xander understands Gwen is still not on the best of terms with Abigail and that she was very upset when Abigail accused her of being Sarah. Gwen calls that quite hurtful. Xander assures that Abigail, Jack, and everyone else now knows it couldn’t have been Gwen since she was in the town square with Abigail and “Sarah”. Xander says it all worked out for the best since “Sarah” coming back gave him the closure that he needed and it reminded him that he’s finished with her. Xander tells Gwen that they belong together and there is nothing that will get in the way of them getting married as they kiss.

Steve and Kayla go to get Sarah but find that she is gone from her hospital room.

Anna questions Tony about Sarah being convinced that she is Renee. Tony says that she is acting like they are madly in love and she wants to pick up where they left off years ago. Tony adds that he tried to set her straight but she is stuck in this emotional delusion. Tony says Steve and Kayla took her to the hospital for tests, so hopefully they have gotten through to her by now. Tony declares that Sarah will just have to accept that Anna is the one and only love of his life. Tony and Anna kiss until Sarah walks in and tells Anna to get her hands off of her Tony.

Ava tells Chad that he makes a compelling pitch but she will take her chances because if the cops had anything on her, they’d already have arrested her. Ava says they will have to let her go soon but Chad says he wouldn’t count on that since she’s a witness and person of interest in a kidnapping. Ava remarks that she’s always a person of interest so she’s used to that. Chad tells her to enjoy her quiet time then but if she decides she doesn’t want to go to prison, she can give him a call. Chad then exits the room.

Gwen asks Xander why he goes by Cook and not Kiriakis. Xander blames his complicated family history. Gwen likes Cook. Xander says she doesn’t have to take his name but Gwen says it sounds perfect to her. They kiss until Gwen gets a text from Ava, telling her to answer her phone. Ava then calls her. Xander questions who is calling at this hour. Gwen claims that she can’t imagine and answers the phone. Ava tells Gwen that she needs to see her right now and orders her down to the police station.

Abigail says there’s no news from Chad yet. Jennifer says what’s important is that Abigail is safe and not hurt and everyone is fine. Jack is sure it was terrifying. Abigail is grateful to be back and thanks them for staying around to take care of her kids. They talk about how much they missed her. Abigail says now that she’s home, she guesses they can go back to Boston. Jack knows the Spectator is in good hands with her and they are proud of what a good writer and journalist she has become. Abigail says she has them to thank for being her role models and inspiring her. Abigail guesses she has her next big story; The Kidnapping of Sarah Horton. Abigail reveals to Jack and Jennifer that Sarah was there as Kristen had been holding her captive since her wedding last year which shocks Jack and Jennifer. Jack realizes Xander was right that Sarah was in trouble. Abigail says she accidentally stumbled onto the fact that it was Kristen masquerading as Sarah, who broke it off with Xander, not Sarah. Abigail calls it terribly sad since Sarah ended up being Kristen’s prisoner for months and didn’t even know where she was. Jack calls Kristen a sadistic maniac. Abigail adds that Kristen won’t pay for this crime like all the others because she got away. Jack asks about Sarah being alive and well. Abigail confirms that she’s alive but not so well.

Steve tells Kayla that he should’ve known that Sarah was playing them and never should’ve left her alone. Kayla says she had them both fooled. Steve feels she couldn’t have gotten too far. Kayla gets a call from the head of security, who says they caught Sarah on the security cameras, leaving the hospital. Steve guesses he knows where she went.

Sarah tells Anna again to step away from her Tony. Anna says she’s sorry but this is her Tony. Anna understands she is confused but they love each other. Sarah argues that Tony would have never looked at Anna if he knew she was alive. Sarah calls their marriage a sham. Anna asks what to do about this person. Tony tells her to try to keep her calm while he calls Kayla. Sarah tells him that he is not calling Kayla and she is not going to be calm. Sarah calls Anna a tramp and tells her to get the hell out of her family home. Anna says she’s trying to be patient because she understands Sarah is ill, but she’s not going anywhere as this is her home. Sarah points out that Stefano is not Anna’s father. Anna argues that he’s not her father either. Sarah speaks to the portrait of Stefano and orders Tony to tell Anna to hit the bricks. Anna says that’s enough and if anyone is going anywhere, it’s Sarah. Sarah says over her dead body. Anna warns that could be arranged as she goes after Sarah.

Gwen tells Ava that it’s a bit early. Ava says it’s not her fault that the cops hauled her down before she even had her morning coffee. Ava asks if Gwen is alone. Gwen says she’s not and asks what’s up. Ava says she’s being held for questioning in connection with the abduction of Abigail DiMera. Ava adds that Chad was just there grilling her about who she saw hit his wife over the head. Ava warns Gwen that if she’s not down there in ten minutes, her name is coming up in conversation as in “Gwen hit Abigail over the head”. Gwen tells Ava that she will be there as soon as she can and hangs up. Xander asks Gwen who that was. Gwen claims it was a wedding planner that she reached out to. Xander feels it’s a bit early for a call. Gwen says that’s the best thing about her and she will go see her because there was a cancellation. Xander offers to go with her but Gwen says she will just take the meeting and see how it goes. Gwen then gets out of bed, leaving Xander confused.

Abigail explains to Jack and Jennifer how Sarah is not in her right mind. Abigail calls it heart breaking and says she can relate. Abigail adds that it’s also really difficult for Tony because Sarah believes that she is Tony’s old flame, Renee DuMonde. Jack calls that strange. Abigail calls it complicated, especially because Sarah as Renee is madly in love with Tony.

Tony separates Anna and Sarah. Sarah tells Tony to keep Anna away from her. Anna asks if the world has gone mad. Tony says they need to work this out like adults. Sarah apologizes to Tony and agrees to calm down for his sake. Steve and Kayla arrive to find Sarah. Anna tells them that Sarah crashed in and attacked her. Anna asks them to take her back to the hospital where she belongs. Kayla offers to take Sarah back to the hospital but Sarah refuses. Anna asks if Kayla can do something about this. Kayla says she can’t force her because it’s a free country and she’s no longer in danger. Anna argues that Sarah almost attacked her before they got there. Sarah says that Anna attacked her, so she should be taken to the hospital. Sarah then leaves the room to go freshen up. Tony questions if there is nothing else they can do. Kayla says they could try to get a court order. Tony asks what to do until then. Kayla tells him to just keep Sarah safe. Steve says that’s until they figure something out. Kayla adds that they will also know where she is. Kayla tells them to call if they need anything. Anna argues that they didn’t do anything. Tony says he’ll be in touch. Steve and Kayla exit as Sarah comes back in to the room. Anna questions Tony letting Sarah stay here. Sarah argues that it’s her family home. Tony agrees to let her stay for now. Anna declares that she’s not going anywhere either because she and Tony are husband and wife. Sarah argues that they were but she will hire Tony the best lawyer in town to get him out of this nightmare of a marriage. Anna assures they are very happily married. Sarah warns that if Anna doesn’t leave, she will have her forcibly removed but Tony says no. Sarah tells Tony that Renee is going to take care of everything as she kisses him on the cheek. Sarah declares that it’s good to be home as she walks out of the room.

Chad goes to the Horton house where Jack greets him with a hug and says Abigail is waiting to hear from him. Jack tells Chad that they appreciate everything he and Tony did to bring Abigail home. Chad is just happy that she’s ok. Jack talks about what happened to Sarah and says he was just about to call Sarah to let him know what happened and that Sarah didn’t leave him voluntarily. Chad is sure that Xander will be happy to hear that. Jack is sure he will, but mentions that Xander is getting married. Chad is surprised and questions Xander getting married to Gwen.

Gwen goes to see Ava in the interrogation room. Gwen can’t believe that Ava made her come down here. Ava asks if she just wanted her to sit here and rot. Gwen reminds Ava that she’s not supposed to be seen with her. Ava says that is the least of her problems.

Xander gets a call from Jack, who informs him that Abigail just got back. Xander calls that wonderful news. Jack then reveals that Sarah was there too on the island with Abigail. Xander doesn’t understand. Jack reminds Xander of when he got a call from Susan Banks on his wedding day about how she saw Sarah going upstairs with Rex. Jack informs Xander that “Susan” was actually Kristen but she didn’t only impersonate Susan, she also impersonated Sarah. Xander is shocked as Jack reveals to Xander that the woman he saw in bed with Rex and the woman that broke up with him was Kristen in a Sarah mask. Jack says he’s sorry to tell him like this. Xander asks about when Sarah came back to Salem to visit Maggie and asks if that was Kristen too. Jack reveals that was actually Ava. Xander can’t believe it and calls it too insane to be true. Jack says he’s afraid it is, as Abigail confirmed it. Xander asks where Sarah is now. Jack informs him that they are taking her to the hospital. Xander declares that he has to go find her and see her. Jack says there is one more thing he needs to know but Xander hangs up and races out of his room.

Jennifer hugs Chad and says he is their hero for bringing Abigail home. Chad talks about how much the kids missed her too. Abigail thanks Jennifer for her and Jack being there again. Jennifer goes to check on Jack. Chad asks Abigail how she’s feeling and what he can do for her. Abigail says she’s too wound up to be tired and asks how it went with Ava. Chad says she stonewalled him, but he can tell she was panicked. Chad adds that they know Ava didn’t assault her, but given her track record, Melinda shouldn’t have a problem getting the charges to stick. They agree that the only way Ava can save herself is to name her accomplice.

Gwen questions if Ava is going to rat her out. Ava says despite her fair share of crimes, she’s managed to stay out of prison for most of her life, so she’s not getting locked up for this. Ava warns that if she does get arrested, the only way out may be to give them a name. Ava asks Gwen why she shouldn’t sacrifice her to save herself.

Jennifer asks Jack how Xander took the news. Jack says he was stunned but he will be even more stunned when he hears the whole story since he hung up before he could tell him. Jack adds that Xander wanted to go find her so he’s off to the hospital. Jack confirms that Xander doesn’t know the real Sarah didn’t reject him, but he doesn’t know that the real Sarah considers herself to be Renee DuMonde.

Tony tells Anna that he’s sorry that she has to go through this. Anna argues that Tony was playing along with Sarah’s delusions. Tony asks Anna to have a little compassion since Sarah is mentally ill and needs some kindness. Anna asks what if that drives his wife crazy.

Sarah walks through the town square and sits at the bench, looking at the Tom and Alice plaque. Sarah brings up that people keep saying she is their granddaughter Sarah, but she is not. She’s Renee DuMonde and she’s here to take her life back and finally be with the man she loves. Xander then comes out from the Salem Inn and is shocked to see Sarah.

Interview with Gus Birney and Dylan Gage

TV Interview!

Dylan Gage (Jake) and Gus Birney (Gaynor) of "Shining Vale" on Starz

Interview with Dylan Gage (Jake) and Gus Birney (Gaynor) of “Shining Vale” on Starz by Suzanne 2/7/22

This was from a great press day where we interviewed many of the cast members for this new show. I really love this show, so it was cool to be talking about it with the cast. These two young people are just a small part of the awesome cast. It stars Courtney Cox and Greg Kinnear as the parents. Judith Light is their grandmother. Mira Sorvino is a ghost in their new house. Merrin Dungey plays the mom’s best friend agent. It has so many great stars like Sherilynn Fenn, Rob Morrow and more. Check it out Sunday, March 6! My questions are here at the top, and then the rest of the questions from our roundtable group are listed below that.

Suzanne: So, can you each tell us about the audition process that you went through to get the show?

Gus: Well, I auditioned, I think, like, two summers ago, and it was still COVID. I sent in a tape, and I think I didn’t hear back for like two weeks. Then, I did a read with Courtney over Zoom. It’s so interesting, auditioning over Zoom, because you can’t really get a sense of people. But [what] I remember about this Zoom audition was I really, really still felt connected to her through this Zoom weird format that we’re using now. I remember leaving that and being like, “Oh, that was interesting.” I actually felt like I was just having a moment with someone. Then, I found out not that long after that, that I got it, and it was the the best feeling in the world. So, yeah.

Suzanne: Great. Thank you. And Dylan?

Dylan: Yeah, I so I did my audition. I sent it in, and I got a callback, as you do, and the callback was virtual, and I did it in my grandmother’s office, and the internet wasn’t great. It was over Zoom, and it was hard to hear. So, a lot of the times I misheard what they were saying, and I thought I was doing terribly. I thought I was blowing it so hard, but no. It turns out that they liked me. So, I’m glad.

Suzanne: That’s a great story. Thank you.

Suzanne: I saw the first five episodes, and I enjoyed them a lot. Is there anything unusual that you can tell us that happens to your character in the last three episodes after that, anything non-spoilery?

Gus: I’m trying to think of a way not to spoil things. I guess I would say that each character kind of goes through an emotional shift, and I think you start to see it by the fifth episode, but at least for Gaynor, I think it kind of is cemented more in understanding her mom a little better and starting to make make bigger shifts in the person she wants to be. So, yeah.

Dylan: Yeah, I’m very excited for the last three episodes. I don’t want to say anything to spoil it character-wise, but I definitely think some of the best of the comedy and some of the best of the horror and drama parts of it are caked into those last three episodes, and [it] just sort of crescendos very well and I think end on a very good note.

Suzanne: Oh, great. Thanks so much. I look forward to seeing the rest of them.

Suzanne: I might have missed something there. Where was the house? Is there an actual house that you filmed in, or was it just one they built for the show?

Gus: There was an actual house, and that house was in, was it Pasadena, Dylan? I don’t remember where.

Dylan: I’m not good at geography in my own state [unintellible] a state that I don’t live in, but yeah, for the pilot we actually had a real house. It was a real house, and all of the stuff inside it, all the wallpaper, all like the weird scratches and stuff, that was all there. They didn’t add anything to the house for the pilot. Everything’s there, but then, for every episode after that, they recreated the house like one to one very, very well. We filmed it on like lots and stuff and not like on location.

Suzanne: Does the real house have a particular name or anything? Is it one they use for stuff like this? Do you know?

Gus: It was some woman’s house. She lived there by herself, and I think she might have been a hoarder or something, because they had to clean the house out completely.

Dylan: Yeah, I think that’s just someone house. I don’t think anything else has been filmed there. I think they found a gem just for the series.

Suzanne: Looks like it. Thank you.

Question: Playing brother and sister, how do you develop a relationship as actors, maybe you haven’t even met before? And we can start with Gus first, and then over to Dylan. How do you kind of create that?

Gus: I know immediately when I met Dylan, I mean, I’d watched him in PEN15, so I was a fan; I’m not gonna lie. I little starstruck, but I think that the more we hung out on set, and the more we developed, I don’t know, just an off camera relationship, the easier it became. And it was nice, because we were the two kind of younger people on the show. So, we really only had each other to rely on in that way. It bonded us. Also, I think we’re both a little dorky. So, it was good. I’m sorry, Dylan; it’s true.

Dylan: Wow, just dragging me under. Yeah, I feel like just because we’re both sort of young, there wasn’t a whole lot of people to relate to, other than just me and Gus. So, we sort of like became conjoined at the hip. Yeah, [it] just sort of blossomed naturally into where we’re very easily able to play a realistic brother sister relationship in the show.

Question: Dylan, we were just hearing about PEN15, big fan of that, and we’re kind of conditioned to not like you from watching PEN15, and I think you redeem yourself here. Gus, great on screen as well. So, my question is for both of you, how important is it for likability to be part of your role?

Gus: Wow, Dylan, you want to do it?

Dylan: Sure. I feel like I could play a character – I feel like likability does not really affect – I think that Jake is very likable, just in the fact that he’s just sort of goofy and a little bit dorky. He’s just in his own world doing his own stuff. He’s very uncontroversial, because he doesn’t really put himself out there that much. But I feel like a character’s likability does not really affect too much of what I care about the character, because it only matters how the character thinks of themselves.

Gus: Yeah, I mean, at the end of the day, the audience is gonna have their opinion. So, it’s like, it’s the viewer who’s gonna like you or not, and you can’t really control that. And look, Gaynor can come off very, I guess at times unlikable, as sixteen-year-olds do, and you have to let that be and know that that’s part of it. I don’t think that should be something you’re worried about, because people are unlikable sometimes. And I hope as the show goes on, you see that she’s much more layered and complicated than at first glance.

Question: Gus, you’ve been brilliant on Dickinson, and, of course, Dylan, amazing on PEN15, but these are kind of darker roles, I think for both of you, where both of you sort of have some sort of struggle that you’re dealing with. There’s sort of a lot of angst as well for you, Gus, and a little bit more mentally, as far as for Dylan. How did you all shake off a long day of being these characters?

Gus: I mean, I know there were actually pieces of Gaynor that I really liked and pieces that I wish that I had. You know, she’s just kind of a spitfire and very confident and outgoing and strong. I guess I would leave, and I’d be like, “Wow, I wish that I had a little bit more of that in me.” So, it would actually be I would shake off the day and be like, “I should take that with me moving forward.” But I always left really happy.

Dylan: Yeah, and I mean, I feel like I’m close enough to Jake, as a personality. I feel like the only thing really that differentiates us and is a little bit difficult at times, it’s just sort of the fact that he’s very just sort of apathetic towards the outside world and is very [tuned] out. It was kind of hard a little bit sometimes to just like, be so in my own stuff, like on set, and then have to be back into it. So, I kind of had to keep doing that. But after the first few days, I got into the groove of it. I really started doing pretty [well].

Question: How hard is it balancing the horror and the comedy? I know, Dylan, you have the horror credit with Creepshow and Fear Street, so you know that part, but mixing in the comedy? What’s that like? We can start with Gus first.

Gus: I mean, it’s fun, because, actually, they merge them so well. So, you get a good sense of both sometimes; like, if it’s all horror, you don’t get real people behind it, and then, if it’s all comedy, sometimes it can be a little cheesy. I think that there’s this great mesh of all of these different genres in there, and at the end of the day, they’ve written very real, full people and characters that I think anyone can kind of find themselves in. If not one, then you’ll find one in someone else. But yeah, it was very fulfilling.

Question: I’m finding more and more when there’re two people who are going to be acting a lot on screen, that as part of the casting process, they put them on [what] I think they call a chemistry date or a chemistry test or something like that. Did they as part of casting or once you were cast put the two of you together, or did you spend time together going [for] coffee or anything like that to see that you vibe well?

Dylan: I feel like during like the rehearsals and stuff, whenever they like had the outline of like – We were doing basically blocking and stuff, or they just had like tape outlines for how like the furniture would be set up, and we’re doing it in a warehouse and stuff, or something similar, and that’s when we kind of like, I at least when I first knew where we were like, “Okay, this is a cool person, and I think I can jive with them well.” Yeah.

Gus: Yeah, we hung out a little outside of the set too. We would like do an “escape the room,” so, yeah.

Dylan: We did do an “escape the room,” and also, we ate at a Cheesecake Factory.

Question: For both of you, what do you think it is about Shining Veil that’s gonna make it such a fast fan favorite series?

Gus: I really think we’ve created like our own unique genre that hasn’t really been seen and isn’t like anything on TV. I think it’ll intrigue people to keep coming back, and truly, every episode gets better, gets scarier, gets funnier, and gets more complex. So, yeah, I think I think once you start you really can’t stop.

Question: It’s very bingeable.

Dylan: Once you pop, you can’t stop. Yeah, I feel like this show definitely has something special. It shifts. Ever since I first read the script. I was like, “This show’s it.” It’s very good. I feel like it’s very easy to get into, whether you like horror, whether you like comedy; it has something for everyone and such great actors, such great directors, such great writers. I feel like it’s definitely going to be a hit. Absolutely.

Question: Talk about playing in that house. What that’s like? We can start with Dylan first. I looks pretty creepy.

Dylan: Yeah, we only filmed the pilot with the actual house, and everything else was on [the] Warner Brothers lot, like on sets and stuff, but they recreated it scarily well, on the Warner Brothers lot. Like it was like one to one. It was very well done, but just seeing that house in person was kind of jaw dropping. They kept showing us pictures and stuff before we actually did it, but that house is a character.

Gus: Yeah, you get chills walking in there. It’s pretty special.

Question: So, one thing I wasn’t sure about with the show is how long it was filmed over the course of – maybe Gus can take this one, because I keep throwing it at Dylan. You know. that likability question, it just buried him.

Gus: Well, so, we did the pilot a year ago last February, and then we did the the rest of the episodes from June to September, so it was like two and a half months. So, it was pretty fast, and it was all in LA. Yeah, it felt very fast. It was great.

Question: Agree with that Dylan?

Dylan: Mm hmm.

Question: Dylan, your character has OCD, ADHD and some other issues. What kind of research did you do into preparing to portray him?

Dylan: I feel like I definitely have friends that have OCD, ADHD, people that are on the spectrum, and I definitely have a lot of experience with with those friends and stuff. And also I feel like playing Jake, it’s less about those things and more just about he’s just a quirky kid who is really just sort of in his own world doing his own stuff, really likes electronics, video games, but those are the things I could really touch on and really dive deep into, and the rest of it just comes naturally of just not making eye contact, kind of like being hunched over and all sorts of stuff like that.

Here is the audio version of it.

Gus Birney, Dylan Gage and Courtney Cox in "Shining Vale" on Starz

SHINING VALE

Season 1 8 Episodes 2022

“Shining Vale” is a horror comedy about a dysfunctional family that moves from the city to a small town into a house in which terrible atrocities have taken place. But no one seems to notice except for Pat, who’s convinced she’s either depressed or possessed – turns out, the symptoms are exactly the same. Patricia “Pat” Phelps (Courteney Cox) is a former “wild child” who rose to fame by writing a raunchy, drug-and-alcohol-soaked women’s empowerment novel (a.k.a. lady porn). Fast forward 17 years later, Pat is clean and sober but totally unfulfilled. She still hasn’t written her second novel, she can’t remember the last time she had sex with her husband (Greg Kinnear), and her teenage kids are at that stage where they want you dead. She was a faithful wife until her one slip-up: she had a torrid affair with the hot, young handyman who came over to fix the sink while Terry was at work. In a last-ditch effort to save their marriage, she and Terry cash in all their savings and move the family from the “crazy” of the city to a large, old house in the suburbs that has a storied past of its own. Everyone has their demons, but for Pat Phelps, they may be real. Cox plays the lead role of Patricia “Pat” Phelps, with Kinnear playing her ever-optimistic husband, Terry Phelps, whose patience and self-control will be tested like never before. Mira Sorvino plays Rosemary, who is either Pat’s alter ego, a split personality, her id, her muse, or a demon trying to possess her. Dungey plays Kam, Pat’s oldest friend and book editor. Gus Birney and Dylan Gage also star as Pat and Terry’s teenage kids, Gaynor and Jake.

Dylan Gage captured audience’s attention as ‘Gabe’ on the hit Hulu series “PEN15”. Prior to his standout role, Gage guest–starred on such high–profile shows as “This Is Us” (NBC), “StrangerThings” (Netflix), “Creepshow” (Shudder), and “Bobcat Goldthwait’s
Misfits & Monsters” (truTV). On the big screen, Gage can be seen in Ron Howard’s Hillbilly Elegy, Eli Roth’s The House With A Clock In Its Walls, the independent feature Mercy Black, and the upcoming Netflix feature Fear Street 2.

Gus Birney has appeared as ‘Jane Humphrey’ in both seasons of the Apple TV series “Dickinson” opposite Hailee Steinfeld. Previously, she appeared as a series regular on Spike TV’s “The Mist” and in guest-star roles on “Bull”, “Jessica Jones”, “Instinct”, “Law and Order: SVU”, and “Chicago Med”.

Update written by Joseph

Jennifer returns home and calls out to Jack, who joins her in the room. Jennifer starts quickly talking about publishing an article in the Spectator about Abigail’s disappearance until Jack is able to stop her to inform her that Chad and Tony have found Abigail. Jennifer is thrilled and hugs Jack, asking where Abigail is and if they are bringing her home. Jack confirms that Chad should be rescuing her as they speak.

After Chad finds Abigail, Tony then enters. Sarah rushes up and hugs Tony, saying she can’t believe he’s here, leaving Tony confused.

At the DiMera Mansion, Anna complains about spending Valentine’s Day alone and being unable to reach Tony and having no idea where he is or if he’s okay. Anna declares now she must stress eat so she opens her box of Valentines chocolates but finds all the chocolate covered cherries have been eaten. Anna wonders when Tony is coming home.

Tony questions Sarah calling him her love. Sarah that’s what he is and will always be. Chad is confused while Abigail thinks she can explain.

Kayla complains about Kristen telling her and Steve that she drugged their food. Steve asks what the point would be when she’s already holding them captive. Kristen clarifies that she didn’t give them a sedative but something a little bit stronger. Kristen declares it’s strong enough to permanently solve the problem they have been causing her. Kristen hopes they enjoyed their anniversary because it may be their last. Steve knew she was dangerous but questions her going to murder. Kristen says no one is going to die because she drugged them but not with poison. Kristen reveals it was a concotion that will make them forget this whole ordeal. Kristen adds that she can’t keep them on this island forever and she’s not interested in killing them, so it would really suck if they remembered this and could testify against her. Steve asks what the hell she’s talking about. Kristen states that the island chicken comes with a side of amnesia. Steve then charges Kristen.

Tony questions what has come over Sarah and tells her to stop kissing him because he’s a happily married man.

Anna tries calling Tony but it goes to voicemail. Anna decides she’s going to go get some answers and exits the mansion.

Xander and Gwen kiss in bed. Gwen says it’s time to eat so she gets out of bed. Xander jokes about her ditching him for room service. Xander gets up with her and they kiss back onto the bed. Gwen stops and says there is something serious she’d like to talk to him about. Xander asks what’s on her mind. Gwen says it’s their wedding as they have a few details to sort out, like when and where. Xander suggest St Luke’s church. Gwen questions them getting married in front of God and everyone. Xander jokes that his cousin Ciara married a serial killer there. Gwen suggests somewhere more personal to them. Xander asks if she means the Horton family home but Gwen says Julie wouldn’t go for that. Xander says they have to discuss the wedding party as he’s going to ask Jack to be his best man, so maybe Jennifer will stand up for Gwen. Gwen worries that Jennifer thinks she killed her mother so it would be in poor taste. Xander tells Gwen that her perfect maid of honor would be Ava Vitali. Gwen questions why he would suggest Ava. Xander brings up that she said they got close after Ava’s son died. Gwen claims she only offered her condolences because she knew Charlie in passing. Xander thought they formed a deeper connection, having both lost a child. Gwen says she just said a few kind words to her and that was all. Xander says it was just an idea. Gwen apologizes and assures that she will find someone, just not Ava or Jennifer. Xander asks if she read Jennifer’s article about Abigail. Gwen calls it heart wrenching. Xander can’t imagine how difficult it must be for Jack as well. Xander suggests they swing by and offer their support, so he can ask Jack to be his best man while they are there. Gwen thinks he should do that on his own because things are tense between her and Abigail, so she’s sure that she’s the last person they want to see. Xander encourages her not to be worried as Jack knows that she has no idea where Abigail is and it was clear how much it meant to Jack to be able to lean on her. Gwen thinks Xander asking Jack to be his best man is a moment that should be shared between them. Xander agrees to give Jack her love. They kiss and then Xander goes to get dressed.

Jennifer questions why Kristen would go after Abigail unless she was involved in Sarah’s disappearance. Jack asks who knows what Kristen is thinking or why she does what she does, but when Chad gets home with Abigail, he will have answers. Anna comes in and apologizes for barging in but says the door was open and she’s going out of her mind with worry about Tony, Abigail, and Chad since no one is returning her calls or texts. Jack and Jennifer tell Anna the good news that Tony and Chad are on their way to Abigail now. Anna calls that really great news and says they must be so relieved. Anna asks where Abigail is. Jack reveals that Kristen has been holding her hostage on an island off the coast. Anna says she’s very happy for them but she knows that island. Anna stops and says she won’t rain on their parade but Jennifer wants to know what she’s thinking. Anna reveals that she knows Tony spent an extended holiday on that island with his ex-lover Renee DuMonde.

Sarah tells Tony that she should’ve known Tony’s wife was the reason that he’s being so cold to her. Sarah talks about her being a thorn in her side since they started dating, which they only did because they thought they were siblings. Sarah tells Tony that he will never get over her. Tony asks God to help him. Abigail then explains that Sarah thinks she is Renee DuMonde.

Steve manages to tie Kristen up while Kayla holds the gun on her. Kristen warns them to enjoy their victory while they can remember it, because they won’t when the drugs kick in. Steve asks how much of that crap she put in their food. Kristen says it was enough to obliterate the memories of a herd of elephants. Steve still thinks she’s bluffing but Kristen assures that she’s not. Kristen suggests they use this time to reflect on their memories with their children and each other, because soon their epic love story will permanently fade to black.

Tony questions how it’s possible that Sarah Horton thinks she’s Renee DuMonde. Sarah complains about Tony talking about this Sarah nonsense like the others. Sarah declares she’s been stuck on this island for long enough and is ready to go back to Salem. Chad says they will be right down. Sarah says that gives her and Tony a moment to be alone. Sarah and Tony then exit the room.

Jack and Jennifer talk to Anna about Tony getting Ned to come clean. Anna talks about Tony being devoted to Chad and doing anything for him. Jennifer acknowledges that he went above and beyond this time. Jack realizes he needs to let Gwen know that Abigail is coming home since Gwen has been so worried. Anna asks how Gwen is doing. Jack says she’s doing very well and getting married. Anna laughs and says that surprises her. Jack asks why. Anna says she doesn’t want to be insensitive since Gwen is Jack’s daughter, but she has created a world of problems since coming to Salem so she’s just wondering who would have the tolerance to put up with her tendency to lie and be vindictive. Anna questions what man would have the patience to share his life with a woman like Gwen. Xander arrives and reveals that man would be him.

Ava shows up at Gwen’s door. Gwen pulls her inside and questions what she’s doing here. Ava responds that they have a problem.

Abigail informs Chad that Kristen injected Sarah with the same drug that Gwen used in Abigail’s champagne. Abigail feels awful because she knows the damage that drug can do and now Sarah thinks she’s an entirely different person. Chad questions how the drug gave Sarah his dead sister’s memories. Abigail explains that came from Renee’s diary.

Sarah tells Tony that they can’t leave as they have to eat first. Tony says they can eat on the plane. Sarah argues that Kristen cooked up a feast for tonight so it would be an insult not to stay and enjoy it. Tony is sure she’ll understand. Sarah demands that no one is going anywhere until they all sit down together and have a meal and she won’t take no for an answer.

Kayla tells Steve that they need to find the others before their memories fade as if they tell Sarah and Abigail, they can alert the hospital so the staff can help them out as soon as they get home. Kristen wishes them luck with that because she drugged Sarah and Abigail too. Kristen reveals that all of her guests are having her very special island chicken tonight, so by morning, none of them will remember how to tie their own shoes.

Abigail explains to Chad that when Sarah first got there, she was just like Abigail was after Gwen drugged her, so to keep her calm and occupied, Kristen gave her a bunch of books to read including Renee’s diary and she became so obsessed with the story that she started to think the stories were hers. Chad says the good news is that they found Abigail so they can head back to Salem to get Sarah the help she needs. Abigail asks Chad how he found her. Chad informs her that Ned Grainger told them where she was since an eye witness confirmed he flew to the airfield the night she disappeared. Chad adds that there was no flight plan or security footage but Tony knew Ned a little bit, so they tracked him down in Florida and Tony convinced him to tell them where she was. Chad states that now they know Kristen put Ned up to kidnapping her and flying her out here. Abigail then reveals it wasn’t Kristen, it was Ava.

Gwen questions Ava showing up when Xander could have seen her. Ava tells her to relax as she saw Xander leave and waited a bit. Gwen asks why she’s there. Ava repeats that they have a problem and brings up Jennifer’s article. Ava worries about Jack and Jennifer being back and making a big stink about their daughter. Gwen tells her to calm down. Ava says that’s easy for her to say since Abigail didn’t see her wearing the Sarah mask. Gwen says that’s not necessarily a problem. Ava questions what she thinks is going to happen if Chad and Tony bring Abigail and Sarah back to Salem.

Jack tries to cover what Anna said towards Xander but Anna tells him not to apologize for her because she meant what she said. Anna wishes she didn’t feel that way because she cares about Jack and realizes that he has tender feelings for Gwen, but she doesn’t. Jennifer suggests staying off the subject of Gwen. Xander disagrees and says that Gwen was deeply unhappy and very angry when she came to Salem which led to her behaving badly, but she has changed. Xander adds that Gwen feels deep regret for the hurt she caused her family and she’s terribly sorry for how she behaved. Anna questions if he’s sure. Anna says she is sorry for everybody who now trusts Gwen, when she was hired as a nanny and then slept with Chad just to ruin Abigail’s life. Anna brings up what Gwen tried to do Jack and Jennifer’s marriage out of spite. Jennifer says she’s gotten past that. Anna remarks that she would never be able to get past the fact that someone took a wrecking ball to her life like that. Anna acknowledges that people can change but in the case of Gwen, she suggests Xander be careful because you never know what a woman like that could still be hiding.

Tony and Sarah sit down at the dinner table. Sarah reminds him to wait until everyone is there before eating. Sarah wonders what’s keeping Abigail and Chad.

Chad questions Ava being the one in the Sarah mask. Abigail knows it makes no sense. Chad wonders if Ava was doing it to help a friend since she and Kristen were close at one point. Abigail questions close enough for multiple felonies. Abigail goes over ripping off the mask and then getting hit from behind, so the only one that she knows was there was Ava. Abigail suggests asking Steve and Kayla if they have any other insights so they should probably go find them. Chad questions that. Abigail explains that Kristen kidnapped them in Italy and brought them here, so her and Chad hurry out of the room to go find them.

Jennifer suggests a more neutral subject. Anna says that’s fine as she’s had her say about Gwen. Jack mentions that Anna has already heard the news, so he wanted to inform Xander that Abigail is coming home. Xander calls that tremendous news and says that’s why he came over, because he and Gwen read Jennifer’s article and wanted to express their support. Anna questions where Gwen is then. Xander responds that Gwen encouraged him to come without her, given the still strained relationship between her and Abigail. Anna says it will be a wonderful relief when Abigail, Chad, and Tony all come back safely to Salem. Xander agrees and knows Gwen feels the same.

Gwen tells Ava to stop because her speculation is not helpful. Ava warns that she should be nervous because if Abigail and Sarah get back here, both of their lives will go up in smoke. Gwen argues that Kristen promised not to let that happen. Ava questions believing Kristen will keep her promise. Gwen argues that Kristen is Ava’s friend. Ava points out that Kristen blackmailed them in to helping her escape, so if her back is against the wall, she won’t think twice about selling them out. Ava adds that if that happens, then Gwen can say goodbye to her boyfriend and her dad and hello to prison.

Kayla says they are going to find Abigail and Sarah. Kristen warns them to hope they still remember them. Kristen guesses this is goodbye. Kayla tells her that she is going back to Salem to pay for everything she’s done. Kayla assures she will see them again. Kristen says by then, she won’t have a clue who she is or why she’s about to kill them. Kristen laughs as Steve and Kayla exit the room.

Chad and Abigail join Tony and Sarah in the living room. Chad says they need to find Steve and Kayla. Abigail asks if Sarah knows where they are. Sarah responds that she might have an idea or two. Abigail asks her to take them to Steve and Kayla but Sarah says no because she doesn’t trust Steve after he threatened Kristen. Abigail explains that Steve is her uncle and a wonderful man, so she asks Sarah to take them to he and Kayla. Sarah says she will right after they eat. Abigail insists they need to go now. Sarah warns her that if she wants to see Steve and Kayla, she will pull up a chair and join them. Abigail and Chad then sit at the table. Chad asks if Abigail had any problems with the food on the island. Abigail says it’s been fine so far. Sarah calls it the best chicken they will have in their life and then she promises to take them to Steve and Kayla. Sarah questions what could be the harm in all of them having a nice family dinner together.

Gwen reveals to Ava that she and Xander got engaged. Ava congratulates her. Ava apologizes for getting a little worked up before but the article threw her. Ava tells Gwen that she is happy for her and adds that her son is proposing to his girlfriend tonight. Gwen comments that there must be something in the water. Ava doesn’t think so since no one is asking for her hand. Ava declares that everybody is getting their happily ever after except her. Ava then asks who needs love when you got revenge to keep you warm. Gwen states that revenge does not solve anything and only makes you feel worse. Gwen encourages Ava to find another way. Ava says she tried and stopped being so paranoid but that just got her a boyfriend who cheated on her with her best friend. Gwen agrees that’s awful. Ava says it’s her problem and congratulates Gwen and Xander on having a long and happy life together. Ava then exits.

Anna says they are thrilled that Abigail, Chad, and Tony will soon be home and safe in Salem. Anna decides to get going. Anna urges Xander to heed her warning about Gwen. Xander urges Anna to keep an open mind about Gwen, noting that Gwen speaks highly about her. Xander says that Gwen believes people can change and is confident that one day Anna will change her mind about her or become her friend. Anna calls it unlikely but supposes stranger things have happened. Anna says she will see them all soon. Anna congratulates Jack and Jennifer on the wonderful news as she then exits. Jack admits that Anna can be outspoken. Xander then asks Jack to be his best man when he marries Gwen. Jack gladly accepts as they hug. Xander jokes that he will soon be Jack’s son in law.

Abigail, Chad, Tony, and Sarah eat their dinner. Abigail says the sooner they finish, the sooner Sarah will take them to Steve and Kayla. Steve and Kayla then burst in, screaming for them not to eat the chicken. Kayla worries that it’s too late. Chad questions what she means. Steve and Kayla warn them of being poisoned. Chad complains that he ate half the chicken. Sarah stops them all and declares no one has been poisoned. Kayla says that Kristen told them that she drugged the food. Sarah reveals that she switched it out as she found a bottle of this cloudy liquid with a feather next to it in the kitchen when Kristen was cooking. Sarah remembered Kristen telling her that the serial killer that was after her used a Raven’s feather. Sarah announces that she emptied the bottle out and filled it back up with milk. Abigail realizes then they are not in danger.

Jack brings Jennifer roses and reminds her that it’s Valentine’s Day. Jennifer can’t believe Jack even found time to shop. Jack talks about when they met and says Jennifer turned his life upside down and taught him about faith. Jack informs her that he took an hour from worrying about their daughter, to make sure Jennifer had a Valentine’s Day to remember. Jack says that faith assured him that Abigail would be coming home, just like how he will always come home to her. Jennifer tells Jack that she loves him forever and wishes him a Happy Valentine’s Day as they kiss.

Chad questions what they are doing as Abigail goes back to get Renee’s diary. Abigail hopes that Sarah will be okay. Chad encourages that they will get Sarah the help she needs back in Salem. Chad adds how impressed he is that Abigail knew it wasn’t Sarah back in Salem and he still can’t believe it was Ava. Chad declares that as soon as they get home, Ava is going down and so is her accomplice.

Xander returns to his room to Gwen. Gwen asks how it went. Xander calls it interesting since Anna was there but he has good news. Xander announces that Jack agreed to be his best man which Gwen calls wonderful. Xander then adds that it looks like Abigail will be home in time for their wedding which Gwen questions. Xander reveals they found Abigail and she’s coming home.

Sarah tells Tony how happy she is that they are finally together. Sarah can’t wait to get back to Salem so Tony can get divorced and kick Anna to the curb.

Kayla tells Steve that she can’t wait to see Kristen’s face when she finds out her plan was ruined. They go back to where they left Kristen tied up, but find that Kristen is gone.

Young & The Restless Update

Recap written by Christine

At Newman Media, Nick wanted to know what was going down between Ashland, Victor and Victoria. Adam said he’d call Nick if there was news. Nick decided to stay at the office instead. Adam asked if that meant Nick was ready to team up with Victor in calling Ashland out. Nick didn’t know what he was going to do, but if Victoria was in trouble, he couldn’t walk away. Adam said it was too bad Nick wasn’t here earlier to help him stall Victoria. Adam tried, but he was Victoria’s least favorite person, and she left early on. A suspicious Nick asked Adam how hard he tried. “Things could be blowing up with Dad and Victoria right now. I don’t think you’d have a problem with that,” Nick said.

Adam said there was no part of him that was enjoying this situation. “You and Vick aren’t close. You don’t support each other,” Nick stated. Adam pointed out that he did a lot to support Victoria at the wedding. Nick countered that Adam did that for Victor, not Victoria. Adam said, regardless of his motives, he did a hell of a lot more than Nick, who didn’t even go to the ceremony. Nick explained he told Victoria who Ashland really was, and she asked him to stay away from the wedding. “Neither you nor I wanted this guy to be part of the family,” Adam replied. After Victor welcomed Ashland with open arms, knowing what he was capable of, Adam decided to trust Victor’s judgment and keep his mouth shut. Nick thought Adam had been filled with resentment ever since, especially after Victor sold Newman Media to Victoria and Ashland. Adam thought Ashland was a backstabbing SOB, and he was glad he wouldn’t have to answer to Ashland anymore, assuming Victor’s plan worked. However, that wasn’t the same as celebrating Victoria’s broken heart. Adam said he wasn’t that vindictive or small. He suggested Nick was projecting his own feelings about the situation. Nick had predicted Ashland would do something terrible, but he wasn’t happy to be right about it. He said Victoria had been through more betrayals than anyone he’d ever met, and she’d be crushed when she found out Ashland had been playing her for a fool.

Nick suspected Adam knew what Victor’s plan was. Adam understood why Nick would think that, given what happened in Tuscany, but Adam really didn’t know. Nick believed him. Adam speculated that Victor was going to try and get Ashland to confess and turn himself in to the police. Nick said faking cancer wasn’t a crime. Adam thought Ashland committed fraud when he used the fake illness to trick Victoria into marrying him. Nick said it was grounds for annulment, but he wasn’t sure it was a crime. He thought that it would be hard for Victoria to get Ashland out of her life, since he owned half of Newman Locke.

Adam thought it was ironic that Victoria got all this praise for making the merger of the decade, when she was actually falling into a trap and taking the whole family down with her. “If I find out you’re using this to your advantage…” Nick warned. Adam said none of this was his fault. He told Nick to go find Locke if he wanted to punish someone. Adam contended that Nick wouldn’t confront Locke, because he wanted to stay neutral. He told Nick to stop trying to be the good guy when he didn’t have skin in the game. Nick wasn’t neutral; he was pissed, but he was staying out of it because he didn’t know what Victor’s plan was. He would be there for Victoria if she needed him. Adam thought Victoria would need more than a shoulder to cry on. Nick said he saw this coming fifty miles away, and he tried telling everyone, but nobody would listen. He said he could tell Victoria that she made her bed, or he could let Ashland get away with all this. Neither option would be easy for Nick. “You always pretend to be above it all, bu the truth is when the chips are down and someone comes after one of the Newmans, you’re gonna get pulled back in just like the rest of us,” Adam said.

Sally visited Adam after Nick left. She saw Nick and Victor leaving earlier, and she asked if this family drama was none of her business or something that could affect Newman Media. He told her that Ashland and Victoria’s marriage was likely about to implode. Sally hoped that was a horrible joke and that the relationship wasn’t already over after that incredible wedding. Adam said things weren’t always as they appeared, especially when it came to Locke. Sally said she’d never forgive Locke if he was cheating on Victoria. Adam didn’t realize Sally was so invested in this relationship. Sally wouldn’t put it that way, but she felt for Victoria, whose wedding made international news, partially because of the dress Sally designed. Sally said Victoria would be heartbroken and humiliated. Sally knew Victoria and Adam weren’t close siblings, but Sally thought that he had to be somewhat sympathetic to his sister. Adam said of course he felt bad. Not long ago, he got his heart broken by someone he loved and trusted, and he wouldn’t wish that on his worst enemy. Sally asked why Adam was so calm. He said that Victoria was a survivor, just like the rest of the Newmans, and the family would rally around her. Sally assumed Victor was disappointed because he was counting on Victoria and Ashland to run his empire. If Ashland got kicked to the curb, Victoria would be distracted and question her decisions; she could lose focus and Newman Locke could suffer. Sally and Adam exchanged a look as they thought about the future of Newman Locke. She asked who’d be in charge if this happened. “Ten billion dollar question,” he replied.

Victoria knocked on her office door and called out to Ashland. Inside the locked office, Victor asked Ashland if they had a deal. Nikki walked up hoping to fill Victoria in on the marketing meeting. Nikki learned Victoria was locked out and her key was inside. Nikki went to get her key. Back in the office, Victor said he had proof that Ashland lied about his illness. Ashland countered that Victor only had theory. Victor said he could show Victoria the proof, but he’d rather not upset her unnecessarily. Victor said that if Ashland loved Victoria at all, he’d tell her his cancer was back, return to Peru and then cut ties with her as painlessly as possible. “If you don’t follow my terms you will suffer the consequences of your deception,” Victor warned. Victoria got into the office, thanks to Nikki, and asked what the hell was going on.

Ashland lied and said he must’ve accidentally locked the door when he came in. Victoria asked Victor what he was doing there when he said he wanted to meet in Adam’s office. Ashland said that was his fault too. He stated that Victor reached out and wanted to talk to him privately about the plan to make Ashland c-CEO of Newman Locke. “Apparently Nikki was right, and your father has reservations,” Ashland said. Victor asked Nikki when she found out about this. Nikki said she found out today, and told Victoria to discuss it with Victor. Victoria wanted to know how Victor found out. He didn’t think that was important. She asked why he wanted to talk to Ashland alone. He assured her that he and Ashland had a productive conversation.

Victoria made it clear that she and Ashland were a team. Ashland assured Victoria that he and Victor both wanted what was best for her and Newman Locke. Victoria asked what issue Victor had with Ashland becoming co-CEO of the company that bore his name. Victor pretended he was concerned about Ashland’s health. Victoria said Ashland cleared this with is doctor. She stated that Ashland was like her and Victor – he was fueled by his work. She’d seen that Ashland was getting stronger, and she thought it would be good for the company if he took a larger role. Nikki sided with Victor. Victoria said that if Ashland’s condition worsened, he could take a step back. Victoria saw no reason to deny Ashland the tile he deserved. She was prepared to sign the papers right now. She grabbed the contract, and Ashland looked back at Victor and smiled. Nikki thought they should at least wait a day or two. Ashland was amenable to that. Victoria was determined to sign the papers today. She said it was her decision and it was the right thing to do.

Victoria signed the contract, while Nikki shot an alarmed look at Victor. Ashland suddenly doubled over while breathing heavily. Ashland said he was okay, he just needed to go outside for air. Nikki was very concerned as she watched Victoria hustle Ashland out of the office. Victor told the worried Nikki that what she’d just witnessed was all an act. “He did exactly what I asked him to do.” Victor told Nikki about the ultimatum he gave Ashland. She asked if Ashland admitted to the lie. He thought it was telling that Ashland backed off from signing the document. Victor contended that Ashland was a monster. She was concerned Ashland was really sick. She said that Ashland might be telling Victoria everything right now, and Victoria would side with him and be furious with Victor. At that moment, Victoria returned, saying Ashland insisted on being alone.

Victoria told Victor that what he’d done to Ashland was unacceptable. “You upset and you insulted my husband. Acting like we’re doing him some favor by allowing him to help us run this company that he half owns!,” she snapped. She stated that Ashland was a brilliant businessman who was feared and respected by top corporate leaders. She asked why she’d keep an asset like that on a sideline. Victor saw no issue with Ashland advising Victoria sometimes, but he saw no reason to give Ashland all this authority. Victoria said it was frustrating for Ashland to work this way. Victor said that Ashland may have had a relapse. Victoria thought that Ashland just had a reaction to the pressure Victor put on him. She didn’t believe Victor was objecting because of Ashland’s health. Victoria thought that Victor just wanted to be in control, and he couldn’t stand the fact that she was making decisions. She asked why he couldn’t learn to trust her judgment. She stated that she deserved to be in the place, and she wanted him to let her do her job at her company as she saw fit.

Victoria stormed out of the office and ran into Nick in the hallway. She asked what he was doing here, and he said he came to check on her. She didn’t believe he just happened to be in the neighborhood. “You’re here because you knew exactly what Dad was up to,” she said. She asked if the whole family had been discussing this behind her back. Victoria wondered how old she had to be and what she needed to do do live her life without constant interference from their father. Nick thought Victoria should get out of the business – the closer you are to the fire, the more you were burned. Victoria said that Victor had been going behind her back and spying on her, and she thought Nick came because he knew what Victor was up to. Nick clarified that he had nothing to do with it and only found out a little while ago. Victoria made it clear that Nick had better not be lying to her. He said he was telling the truth. He learned awhile ago not to get involved in her life. “I didn’t even know Dad was gonna tell you about it,” he said. Victoria realized she and Nick were talking about different things. “Wait a minute. Tell me what?,” she asked.

Ashland was on the phone at Society. “You need to find everyone who’s talking to Michael Baldwin and put an end to it. Immediately and forever. Do we understand each other?” he said.

Devon dropped by the Chancellor Mansion, and Abby told him that if he was there to see Dom, his timing couldn’t be better, because the baby was fresh out of the bath. Devon wondered why Dom was bathed in the middle of the day, and Abby explained that he’d had sweet potatoes and peas for the first time. Devon was happy to hear Abby had pictures of the event. She was glad Dom’s appetite was back. Devon wanted Dom to come to his place for a couple days if that was okay with Abby and Chance. Abby said the baby was still in recovery, and they had to be careful. Devon said he would be. Abby wasn’t implying otherwise. Chance came home from his walk, and Abby filled him in. it was hard for Abby to imagine Dom not being here; she still woke up a couple times a night to check on him. Devon understood – he kept waking up at night worrying about Dom. Chance thought this wasn’t such a bad idea. He reminded Abby that he’d been a little worried, given what was happening later. He told Devon that he had his first therapy session today. Chance thought he may have still been avoiding all this if it weren’t for Devon’s encouragement. Chance told a curious Abby that Devon helped him realize he couldn’t do this alone. Chance was concerned he’d be a bit “off” after the session, and he didn’t want Dominic to see him like that. Abby said Chance was right, and she apologized for hesitating earlier. Devon told Abby she didn’t ever have to apologize to him. She went to pack Dominic’s stuff.

Devon appreciated Chance helping Abby be cool with this. Chance felt lucky to have a friend like Devon. He reiterated that hearing Devon open up about his struggles helped him. Devon said that it took a strong person to do what Chance did, and this would help his whole family. Devon said therapy wasn’t like flipping a light switch, but he had no doubt Chance would make it to the other side. Later, Devon left with the baby. Abby wondered if it would get easier to watch Dom leave. Chance said Abby would get used to it, and by the time Dom went off to the first day of school, she’d be a tough mom who didn’t cry at all. She didn’t even want to think about that. She said Dom would have a great time with Devon, and she could give Chance her undivided attention when he got home from therapy. She wanted to ride with him, and go shopping while he was in therapy. He promised he’d be fine. He wasn’t even sure he’d click with this doctor. She told him there was no pressure today, and it would all be okay, because she’d be here waiting for him when she got home. He found that comforting. They kissed.

Devon took Dominic to the penthouse and told him he’d always have a home here, even when he was an adult with a family of his own. Devon played a song on the piano for Dom.

Chance met with Dr. Huffman, who was ex-military like Chance. Chance asked if he saw action. Dr. Huffman saw things he couldn’t forget. He asked how Chance found his way here. Chance explained that Sharon Rosales was a close family friend, and she thought Chance would be more comfortable with someone who served. Chance wasn’t comfortable at all though. Dr. Huffman didn’t think anyone was at ease on their first day. He asked why Chance was here. “I just want to be me,” Chance replied. Chance opened up about his marriage – Abby was great and supportive. He said he had one child so far. He explained the circumstances surrounding Dominic’s conception; how Chance needed a donor because of an infection he got after he was shot while working as a police detective. Dr. Huffman learned that Dom was carried by a surrogate and that Chance missed the whole pregnancy. Chance said he missed a lot, and Abby said he’d catch up, but… He explained that they were now sharing custody with the donor, a close friend. Dr. Huffman asked if the custody change was difficult for Chance. It wasn’t for Chance, but it was for Abby. Chance saw that Devon adored Dom. Chance was still waiting to connect with Dom and feel like Dom was his son. “You know the way that I would feel if I was the man I was before I went on that mission,” Chance said. Dr. Huffman thought Chance needed to talk about what happened in Spain.

Dr. Huffman asked what happened in Spain. Chance said his team’s cover was blown, but they had no warning. He was bringing groceries into the safe house when all hell broke loose. It was like the earth was ripped in half. He was blown back and he was pretty out of it. When the smoek cleared, the whole building was gone. He looked for his team and didn’t find anyone. He saw some men slowly walking through the site. They were looking for survivors to finish them off. Chance buried himself in rubble and played dead. When everyone heard the sirens, the men took off, and Chance did the same. Some former medic friends of his patched him up. His family was told he was dead. Abby didn’t believe him and went looking for him. His family kept saying he was lucky and a hero. It didn’t sit well with him. Chance replayed that day in Spain every day. He said there were certain triggers like smells, or the sky being a certain shade of blue that brought him back to that day. He dreamed about it too. Usually, he just saw faces of his team. Chance felt like he was being punished for failing his team.

Chance went home. Abby wanted to know what happened at the meeting, then she said it was none of her business. He said he was exhausted, and there was a lot of work to do. She knew he had a lot of broken pieces that needed to be put back together, but she loved him always and they’d get through it together. She was proud of him.
