Jill: Really. Maybe we want to talk about the same thing. Why don’t I go first?

Devon: Be my guest.

Jill: Why the hell are you throwing away the chance of a lifetime?

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

Devon: I imagine that the chance of a lifetime I’m throwing away is merging Chancellor and Hamilton-Winters, right?

Jill: Good guess. Must be why you have the CEO title and the big office.

Devon: Well, you know, those are two things that I really do love, Jill

Young & The Restless Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Billy: You know that thing in your life that you want to hold onto so desperately? You do so so tightly that you end up draining it of its joy. You end up squeezing the life out of it. The thing you want the most becomes the most illusive, and your frustration grows because you’re trying to control something that is out of your control. You end up closing off or hitting a wall. I can’t be the only one. But I think I might have just landed on something that helps me. By closing my eyes, by quieting my system, by calming my mind and simply breathing. I sit here open to the possibilities, the opportunity to allow the thing that I want most in my life…to arrive.

Phyllis: Thank you for bringing in my luggage. You’re such a gentleman.

Jack: It is the least I can do after all you did for me in la.

Phyllis: I’d like to do a little more for you.

Jack: Oh?

Phyllis: Yeah, I’d like to do a deeper dive into who’s sending you those texts.

Jack: Thank you. I can’t even think about that right now.

Phyllis: Okay. Well, I understand. The whole trip, it was a lot to process, that you have a new granddaughter.

Jack: Yeah, I wouldn’t have gotten through any of this without your companionship and support. You know that.

Phyllis: I was happy to be there. You can count on me.

Jack: Thank you.

Phyllis: Honestly, I wish i would’ve gotten a chance to get to know allie a little better.

Jack: Yeah, same here, but I haven’t given up. It may still happen.

Allie: Hey, dad. I still can’t believe that you’re really gone, dad. I miss you so much. Why did this happen? What am I gonna do without you?

[ Door closes ]

Jack: [ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Billy: What I’m talking about is meditation. Now, let me be very clear. I am early in on this journey, and from what I understand, it’s not a cure-all but more a tool to help you calm your mind. And as I sit here with my small sample size, it has helped me get into a mind-set to talk to you all freely, with no barriers, with no hang-ups, without over-thinking it. Because the truth is I’m not sure where this adventure’s going to take me emotionally or otherwise, but I’m not gonna think about that. I’m gonna take a leap of faith and I’m gonna put it all out there. And I’m gonna enjoy the ride.

Devon: Jill! How you doing? It’s great to see you. You look amazing.

Jill: Well, you look healthy and happy yourself. Thank you for chatting with me.

Devon: Oh, absolutely. You know I’ll chat with you anytime. It’s actually funny that you wanted to do this because I was planning to reach out to you to discuss something.

Jill: Really. Maybe we want to talk about the same thing. Why don’t I go first?

Devon: Be my guest.

Jill: Why the hell are you throwing away the chance of a lifetime? This is the sound of nature breathing.

Billy: Now, I can’t take credit for this new approach. The suggestion came from my amazing sister, and of course, i gave her a hard time about it in the beginning, ’cause that’s what I do, but once I got over myself and I actually tried it, she was right. Because she’s always right. And like I said, I am just beginning to dabble in it, but so far, so good. And I am fully aware by even talking about it, it might defeat the purpose and maybe this is gonna come across very annoying, like I am describing my dreams, and if that’s — if that’s the way it comes across, I apologize. And who knows? Maybe nobody’s gonna even listen to this in the first place. But I have to say that I have had a blessed life. But I’ve also had my struggles. I’ve had a fair share of pain and I have made mistakes. So if this offering can help one person or, better yet, collectively, we can help each other get past the things that hold us back, then, without question, all of it…is absolutely worth it.

Traci: Oh, I thought I heard somebody down here. When did you get home?

Jack: Just got in.

Traci: Well, I am dying to hear every detail about your trip, but if you’re tired, i understand.

Jack: Oh, no, I’m so wound up, I can’t even think about sleeping.

Traci: Mwah. Well, how about I make us some tea?

Jack: You know what? That sounds great. Oh, and about the talk, fair warning, I got a lot to tell.

Traci: I assumed as much.

Jack: It’s stuff I want to tell the whole family, but I’d love to run it by you first, if you’re okay with that.

Devon: I imagine that the chance of a lifetime I’m throwing away is merging chancellor and hamilton-winters, right?

Jill: Good guess. Must be why you have the ceo title and the big office.

Devon: Well, you know, those are two things that I really do love, jill.

Jill: Oh, I’m sure you do. But before you say anything else, let me just tell you that when lily first pitched the idea to me, I was floored. But I quickly came to realize, devon, it is inspired. Together, our two companies would be unstoppable. Look what the newman/locke merger has done for those entities.

Devon: Yeah, I can definitely see the possibilities, but you and I both know that there are complications that come with making a power play like that.

Jill: With a company as big as ours would be, we could handle any difficulties.

Devon: No, I know that, jill, and, believe me, I haven’t stopped considering it at all. I just feel like we need to focus on this first joint venture that we have going and see how that goes first before we take the next step.

Jill: Oh, I already know how it’s gonna go — fabulously. It’s you and lily. I see nothing but success for any co-production between the two of you. But let me say that I think delaying the bigger move would be a huge mistake. Think about what katherine or neil would do in this situation.

Devon: Yeah, I’m pretty sure that neil and katherine would both take their time before making such a big decision like this, and they would weigh everything very carefully.

Jill: And then they would both agree this is the right move. I have looked at this from every single angle, and I have to tell, it almost seems like it was written in the stars. Katherine would love that you were involved in running chancellor.

Devon: I know that what you’re saying is true and I also know that neil would love to know that his kids are working together, because we created hamilton-winters to be a family company.

Jill: And on top of all that, you are now a third parent to my great-grandson. How much more family can we get?

Billy: The good, the bad, the ugly, and everything in between — that’s what you’re gonna get from me. And I thought that I would start with a story about a sweet little girl whose death changed my life forever. Now, I should probably warn you, there are parts of this story that are a little bit rough. But it’s the defining moment in my adult life and, for me, the only place to begin. A shocking loss that led me down a path into darkness. A cautionary tale that gets worse before it gets better. Now, I don’t think that I will ever entirely heal, but the truth is I’m not sure if I want to, and the fear is that I would somehow lose the memories. Somehow my sweet daughter would disappear in some sort of way, and…I like having her there in whatever capacity I can get. But her memory has not been serving me in the way that it could. And I’m hoping that I finally figured out that the key to it is to love her, honor her, and celebrate her without letting the pain and grief and anger drive me. Now, the ending of this story isn’t exactly happy because happy would mean that she is still here. But it’s filled with beautiful memories. And the fact that I was able to love her, and that gives me strength, and I’m hoping that this can be an uplifting, empowering story. Because with all the pain, I am still forever grateful and consider myself incredibly lucky that I was able to know her in the way that I did. Even if it was for way too short of a time.

Nyquil severe gives you

powerful relief

Jack: “I found a way to let go of my anger. I’ve forgiven you. But I can’t see you or be part of your life. I’m sorry for that. I wish I was stronger or better somehow, but this is the way it has to be, at least for now. You should know, even though i still can’t bring myself to bridge that gap, that de– that deep down…a son will always love his father.”

Traci: Oh, jack.

[ Sighs ] I’m so glad that you weren’t alone when you found these, and I wish I had been there for you.

Jack: You know what? Phyllis was really there. She was as strong and as good a friend as I could’ve asked for during this emotional roller coaster.

Traci: Yes.

Jack: I just wish I’d reached out to keemo one last time.

Traci: Oh, no, no, you cannot blame yourself for that. A relationship is a two-way street.

Jack: Yeah, my brain knows that, my heart still just hurts.

Traci: Jack, it’s gonna take time.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah, it’s gonna take time, and my emotions have been all over the place.

Traci: Of course they have, because they’re trying to make sense of something that doesn’T.

Jack: How is it you always know the right thing to say?

Traci: [ Chuckles ] I don’t know about that, but I’m just doing the best I can, same as you. And this situation is so overwhelming.

Jack: You don’t know the half of it.

Traci: [ Sighs ] I’m afraid to ask. What — what? There’s something more?

Jack: Well, when luan died, keemo left genoa city and he got on with his life. He found some happiness. He met someone. He fell in love. He got married. He had a child.

Traci: I’m sorry, what?

Jack: You have a great-niece. I have a granddaughter.

Traci: Oh. [ Chuckles ] Oh, jack!

Amanda: Thank you for calling me. We are so overdue for some girl time. So tell me about all of your adventures with jack.

Phyllis: Adventures?

Amanda: Okay, I didn’t mean that the way that it sounded.

Phyllis: Uh, definitely adventure — I don’t know if it’s the right word. I mean, it just felt really great giving emotional support to jack when he’s usually extending that to me.

Amanda: Well, I’m really glad that you were there for jack when he needed you. And I don’t know what happened, but is there any way that these supportive feelings turned romantic?

Phyllis: It wasn’t like that at all.

Traci: Okay, you’re gonna have to go back and take me through this one step at a time, ’cause I — I mean, how old is she? What’s her name? Did you get to meet her?

Jack: Her name is allie. I met her today, and she is a bright, beautiful young graduate student.

Traci: Okay, so we’re not talking about a little girl.

Jack: Oh, no, no, she’s an adult. Here. Yeah, I missed out on her childhood the same way I missed out on keemo’S.

Traci: Oh, jack, she’s just beautiful.

Jack: Yeah.

Traci: Is she the one that’s been sending you these cryptic texts?

Jack: No. She had no idea who I was. Now, who– whoever sent those texts, if the purpose was to get me closer to my granddaughter, the texter succeeded.

Traci: How is it possible she didn’t know anything about you?

Jack: Because keemo insisted she not know I even existed.

Traci: Oh, jack, I’m sorry.

Jack: Yeah, it’s a lot to take in, but I’ll work my way through that.

Traci: Yes, yes, you will, and I still have a whole bunch of questions. Starting with, when do I get to meet this new member of our family?

Jack: Well, I’d love for that to happen soon, but…not right away. No, I — if it’s going to happen — and believe me, I want it to happen — it’s gonna take some time.

Billy: After I lost my daughter, I felt myself building these walls around my heart, around everything good in my life, and maybe that was self-preservation. Clearly I was trying to protect myself, but the problem was these walls were built with hatred. And they were aimed directly at the person responsible for her death.

[ Sighs ] I realized that really it was me avoiding dealing directly with my sense of loss…and with my own guilt. All of it festering under the surface. At times, lying dormant, but at other times erupting, and when it did, it wasn’t good. I acted out in a way that was scary and sometimes very troubling. At one point, pushing my mind to actually splinter.

[ Sighs ] But I’m lucky. I had the love of a good friend and I had therapy to put myself back togetheR. And after backsliding more times than I care to mention… something amazing happened to me. Something very surprising. Something that saved me. Pure and simple…love.

Devon: Well, thank you for coming by. Hope I didn’t call you too late.

Lily: No, no, I was up. Is everything okay? Dom’s good?

Devon: Yeah, yeah, dom is getting better every day.

Lily: Good.

Devon: Yeah.

Lily: But I’m guessing you called me over here for more than just a catch-up?

Devon: Yeah, yeah, I did. Jill called me tonight.

Lily: Oh.

Devon: Mm-hmm.

Lily: To talk about the merger?

Devon: Mm-hmm, yes.

Lily: Okay, I did not put her up to that, I promise you.

Devon: I know you didn’T. Nobody puts jill up to anything.

Lily: That’s very true. So…what happened?

Devon: She wouldn’t take no for an answer is what happened.

Lily: Does that mean that she convinced you?

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Traci: How is it that allie doesn’t want to see you again after just having met you?

Jack: Actually, allie proposed that we get together sometime in the future, you know, for coffee next time I’m in la. It’s cute. I made the same offer. I don’t expect much to come of it.

Traci: Why not?

Jack: Well, I think her first instinct is to run for the hills and forget we ever met. Now, I don’t blame her. I really don’t, on some level. She has her own life. She’s mourning her father’s death. And I show up in the middle of her grieving and it’s like a bomb. She was as shocked by my existence as I was by hers. I don’t blame her if she decides she wants to back up and walk away.

Traci: Well, I take all of your points. It’s just I find the whole situation so heartbreaking.

Jack: Yeah, it didn’t exactly go like I planned. But I’m not giving up. I am convinced I can forge some kind of relationship with my granddaughter, some kind of bond. She just needs time to get used to the idea — it’s more than time. I — I have to find some way to let her know artfully, carefully, subtly, that the abbotts’ door is always open to her.

Allie: I wish you could give me a sign or something, dad. God, I am just…so confused. In the past, when I needed to talk to someone, you were the one who I turned to. When things got rough, I leaned on you. And now… I have no one.

[ Sighs ] Or at least nobody like you. Mom is a million miles away, busy with her own life. And we both know that’s never gonna change. You’re gone and, uh…you’re never really coming back, are you? And now…jack abbott shows up. How do I know if I can trust him? I mean, the last thing I would want to do is disgrace your memory by doing something that you wouldn’t approve of. If you cut him out of your life, then shouldn’t I do the same? My a1c stayed here,

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Phyllis: What happened with jack in california was so heavy. I mean, all the emotions that he dealt with, the loss of his son, then all the other stuff that came up, it just…

Amanda: I’m sorry. I am — I’m so sorry that i tried to make light of the situation by, you know, asking if it went romantic.

Phyllis: No, you’re okay. I mean, it just wasn’t that kind of trip.

Amanda: Okay, I got it.

Phyllis: Yeah, and, you know, jack and I are not in the romantic mind-set.

Amanda: Mm. Great.

Phyllis: I thought we made that clear. I mean, I thought we were okay on that.

Amanda: Yeah, I put that topic to bed.

Phyllis: Oh, good, good, because it’s a non-starter.

Amanda: Okay, well, you’re the one that still keeps talking about it.

Phyllis: I’m not talking about it, just…

Amanda: I just want to say that I know that jack appreciated you being there for him. You are that rare person that would drop everything and fly across the country when somebody needs you.

Phyllis: That’s sweet. I am.

[ Chuckles ] And it wasn’t a sacrifice, by the way. I was happy to be there for jack.

Amanda: See, I think that you and jack, your relationship has just — it’s reached a new level, even if it’s not romantic.

Phyllis: You know what? It has. You’re right, it has reached a new level.

Jack: Well, I have been going on and on. What do you think?

Traci: [ Sighs ] Well, I don’t want to dampen your hopes.

Jack: But?

Traci: I also don’t want to see you set yourself up to be disappointed.

Jack: I’m calling it guarded optimism.

Traci: [ Chuckles ] I consider myself an optimist, too.

Jack: I know. I know where you’re going next. I’m telling you, you don’t have to worry about me. I am moving forward with my eyes wide open, well aware this may not work out. But I’m thinking maybe the door won’t always be closed. I see in allie this bright, resourceful young woman, but i also am aware she needs family. She’s lost family. Her whole family’s been upended.

Traci: What about her other relatives? I mean, where’s her mother?

Jack: Well, she said that keemo and her mother divorced some time ago and that she and her mother have kind of a rocky relationship. When I look in her eyes, I just see someone who’s alone, afraid, and sad.

Traci: She’s not the only one who’s sad, jack.

Jack: Yeah, it’s been a rough time all around.

Traci: But you have handled this with generosity and grace, and I admire your determination. I know I had reservations, but i am so grateful that you went all the way to los angeles looking for answers. And you found allie. And I’m equally glad that you’re home, where your family can take care of you.

Jack: Thanks. Needed this.

Traci: [ Laughs ] And speaking of family, everyone else is gonna want to know every detail.

Jack: You know what, you know what, I do want to tell everyone, but look at the hour. Not everyone’s on la time. You know what? I’m gonna go for a drive and try to wind down.

Traci: [ Chuckles ] Jack, you are going to work your way through this, and you’re not gonna have to do it alone. I love you so much.

[ Chuckles ]

Jack: I love you. I cannot believe my son is gone.

Traci: I know.

Jack: But I am determined not to let that happen to my granddaughter.

Devon: Yeah, no, jill just made about as good of an argument as you did about why we should merge the companies.

Lily: Okay, but are you buying it?

Devon: Um…the more I think about it, the more I love the idea of paying homage to family. I will say that.

Lily: So does that mean you’re closer to a yes than before?

Devon: I would have to see a very detailed proposal on how it would all work out.

Lily: Well, funny enough, i actually already have one made, ready for you to view.

Devon: Really?

Lily: I do.

Devon: I bet you do.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Devon: I bet you do.

[ Chuckles ] You never doubted yourself on pulling this off, have you?

Lily: No, that’s not true. I just… I was really hoping that the idea of bringing family together would eventually sway you.

Devon: [ Chuckles ] That’s another thing, too, ’cause, like, the benefits of a merger are obvious to me, of course. But I would want to make sure that that never caused any trouble between you and me. Just ’cause I know, we’ve seen family, you know, turn on each other because of business, and i don’t want that to ever happen.

Lily: I understand that. But I really don’t think that’s gonna happen to us. I mean, first of all, I trust you more than anyone else in the world. And secondly, like, we’ve been through so much together, right? Like, teenage years, everything. I mean, in my mind, there’s no amount of corporate friction that could ever sever our bond.

Devon: No. Are you sure about that?

Lily: Yes, I am. And honestly, I would step away from all of it if our relationship were ever put on the line.

Devon: You’d step down as ceo?

Lily: Absolutely, yes.

Devon: Well, I mean, I guess then I would have to make that same promise to you. And if anything ever goes bad, I’ll step down, too.

Lily: So are we on the same page?

Devon: I think we are.

Lily: Okay, I want to hear you say it.

Devon: Okay.

Lily: Say the words.

Devon: I’m ready. I’m ready to take this shot. Let’s do it. Let’s make dad and katherine proud.

Lily: Oh! I’m so happy.

[ Both laugh ]

Devon: Me too. A jelly bean that’s good for you?

Billy: Hey.

Lily: Hi.

Billy: How was your evening?

Lily: Well, I’m very glad you asked. It was amazing. How was yours?

Billy: It was good, but i want to hear about yours first.

Lily: Well, I had a breakthrough with devon and the merger. So a lot of work and negotiations have to be done, but I think it might actually happen.

Billy: Oh, my gosh, that’s amazing. Congratulations. How did you convince him?

Lily: Well, I mean, your mother, of course, helped, but i think the clincher was that i told him no business would ever come between us. And I meant it, you know? We’ve been through so much together. I really do believe that our relationship is unbreakable.

Billy: I don’t doubt it.

Lily: So what’s your news? Tell me.

Billy: Well, I had a bit of a breakthrough myself. You know that traci suggested i try meditation, so I have for the last few days, and I have to say, it has really helped calm my mind and helped me feel open emotionally. I just finished my first podcast, and I have to say, it felt good. I put it out there for the world to hear.

Lily: That’s amazing.

Billy: Yeah.

Lily: Are you happy with it?

Billy: I am. Yeah, I mean, I don’t know if anyone’s gonna listen to it, but that’s not up to me. But it felt cathartic.

Lily: Wow. See? I knew you could do it. I knew you’d find a way to get your inspiration out. I can’t wait to hear it.

Billy: Well, I should warn you, little bit of a spoiler alert, you do factor into it, kind of a reoccurring theme.

Lily: Oh, god.

Billy: No, it’s not bad. It’s — it’s all good because the truth is, I’ll never get tired of telling you that you saved my life.

Amanda: Hey.

Devon: Hey.

Amanda: I’m home.

Devon: Hi.

[ Chuckles ] How you doing?

Amanda: I’m good. Mm. [ Chuckles ] Well, that is a really nice welcome home.

[ Both laugh ]

Devon: There’s more where that came from.

Amanda: Yeah?

Devon: Mm-hmm.

Amanda: Whoa, okay, okay. Okay, romeo.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Amanda: Am I just that irresistible today or is something else going on?

Devon: Well, you’re irresistible every day, but, yeah, I do have some big news. Uh, lily and I have decided to move forward with merging our companies.

Amanda: Are you kidding?

Devon: No.

Amanda: Wow, that’s — that’s fantastic.

Devon: Yeah, I thought so.

Amanda: Yeah. I’m happy for you, really.

Devon: Is that your happy face?

[ Chuckles ]

Amanda: I’m just — I’m hoping that lily didn’t push you into this.

Devon: No, I promise you she didn’t at all. I considered her options and i got input from other people, but, no, the decision was mine.

Amanda: And you thought this through?

Devon: Yes, I did.

Amanda: Okay, well, then I’m ecstatic.

Devon: Yeah?

Amanda: I’m so excited.

[ Both laugh ]

Devon: Well, thank you. There’s still a lot of — a lot of stuff to nail down, but…

Amanda: Yes, and as the head of chancellor’s legal department, I am well aware this deal is gonna be complicated, but potentially groundbreaking. And there’s the added bonus of the two of us working together.

Devon: Oh, that’s right. That is right.

Amanda: Oh, I will be tough but fair.

Devon: You’re always fair.

Amanda: [ Laughs ]

Devon: Mm. I haven’t been this happy in a very, very long time, you know that?

Amanda: Yeah?

Devon: Yeah. Between you and dominic getting healthy and this merger and everything, just feels like life is coming together really, really well. And you know, when we pull this off, it’s not just gonna change our lives and lily’s life, our two families’ legacies will never be the same again.

[ Both chuckle ]

Phyllis: Hey. Oh, what are you doing here? Is something wrong?

Jack: No, no, no, I just couldn’t sleep.

Phyllis: Neither can I.

Jack: I also wanted to take one more chance to say thank you for being there for me the last couple of days.

Phyllis: I was happy to do it. You don’t need to keep on thanking me.

Jack: I am not gonna let you be dismissive of the kindness and friendship and loyalty you’ve shown. It means the world to me.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Phyllis: Is that the texter? Hey, what does it say? Don’t keep me in suspense. What can I du with less asthma?

Billy: I’m not sure I’m in a position to be giving advice to anyone. I’ve gone about a lot of things in my life the wrong way. But I’m hoping maybe my mistakes can serve as a warning to people who are at risk of falling down the rabbit hole like I did. Everyone’s experience is different, and what may help one person may not work for another. But, like I said, my saving grace was — as the old cliché goes — pure and simple…love. Love can often come as a it can also make you look at the future with fresh eyes. I’m a big believer in second chances. And third and fourth and fifth chances — coming to you when you least expect it.

Allie: Mm.

[ Gasps ] Is someone there?

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Devon: I thought I heard nate’s voice in here. What are you doing?

Nate: How would you like to be neighbors again?

Jack: It’s from our friendly anonymous texter. “Doing what I can to help. I think allie might be more receptive soon.”

Ashland: I get the sense that you think that I’m about to break down and make some kind of confession here.

Victoria: If there is a confession that needs to be made, then now would be the time to make it.

Carly: Hello. Willow? Hello? Willow, are you there?

[ Cellphone rings ]

Carly: Hey, Diane, what’s up?

Diane: I’m at the PCPD. Michael’s been arrested.

Carly: What?

Diane: He punched a reporter in front of commissioner Ashford.

Carly: Oh, why?

Diane: Well, apparently, said reporter was asking some not-so-polite questions about Josslyn’s leaked video.

Carly: [ Sighs ] I’m on my way.

Sonny: Hey, Shawn.

Shawn: Hey, Sonny. How you doing, man?

Sonny: What’s going on?

Shawn: [ Chuckles ] Hey.

Sonny: I was, uh — I wa– Olivia sent me some dinner, and I was just going to, you know, thank her.

Shawn: Well, I’m just meeting, uh, TJ, Molly, and Jordan. Have a seat.

Sonny: Okay.

Shawn: Of course, they’re off saving the world, and I’m the first one here, so…

Sonny: Don’t sell yourself short. You turned The Invader from a scandal rag to a legitimate publication.

Shawn: [ Chuckles ]

Sonny: So, Kristina says that you hired Alexis?

Shawn: That I did.

Sonny: Make a good team?

Shawn: Yes, I thought so.

Alexis: [ Sighs ]

[ Monitor beeps ]

[ Knock on door ]

Smoltz: Good. You’re still here.

Alexis: You know, it’s customary to ask, “Is this a good time?” And, by the way, the answer would be no, Smoltz. So why don’t you come back tomorrow morning? Better yet, e-mail me.

Smoltz: Sorry, this is too good. I’ve got a story that is perfect for The Invader, trust me. You’re not going to want to miss out.

Diane: I spoke to Carly. She should be here soon.

Michael: She should be focused on Joss, not me.

Diane: I am doing everything I can to get justice for your sister. Just so you know, this doesn’t help.

Michael: I know.

Diane: Unfortunately, because of the time, you’re probably going to be arraigned tomorrow. So unless this Smoltz decides to drop the charges, you are in here for the night.

Michael: Well, wouldn’t be the first time.

Diane: You sound exactly like Jason.

Michael: How many times you been through this drill with him?

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Well, I’d have to check my records, but we were in the triple digits.

Michael: Well, you know what? You always found a way to make him walk in the end, though.

Diane: Yes, but to the best of my recollection, Jason never punched a reporter in front of the police commissioner.

Jordan: Mr. Corinthos, you’ll be transferred to holding soon.

Michael: Can I ask you a question?

Jordan: Sure.

Michael: What are you doing to catch the bastard who ruined my sister’s life?

Harmony: Phyllis, it’s good to see you again. I had no idea you were in Port Charles.

Phyllis: It’s a relatively new development.

Nina: I forgot that you used to go by the name Lorraine.

Harmony: Another lifetime.

Nina: So, um, get a chair. Join us? How do you guys know each other?

Phyllis: We worked together in New York City. Well, technically not with each other. She cared for another patient in the same building where I cared for you.

Harmony: Nina was your patient? You were such a stickler for privacy, I never knew.

Phyllis: So how do you know Nina?

Nina: Well, Harmony is Willow’s mother. You know, Willow, right?

Phyllis: Of course, she adopted Wiley. What a small world.

TJ: Hey! Willow. Willow. Can you hear me?

TJ: You’re still with us. Come on. Come on, wake up. Willow. Willow. Hey. Hey, can you talk to me? It’s Dr. Ashford.

Willow: TJ?

TJ: Do you remember anything? Here.

Willow: Uh, no. No, it’s all fuzzy.

TJ: Okay, can you follow the light? Good. You look alright, but I’m still admitting you.

Willow: No.

TJ: Yes. Can I call someone for you?

Willow: My mom. You can call my mom.

TJ: Okay.

Nina: So how was your visit with Lenny’s friend?

[ Cellphone rings ]

Phyllis: It was nice. Always good to hear old stories.

[ Both chuckle ]

Nina: Yeah, it is. I bet.

Harmony: Excuse me. Hi, honey.

TJ: This is Dr. Ashford at general hospital. Your daughter fainted on site. I’ll be admitting her.

Harmony: Oh, my god. Okay, okay, thank you. I’ll be right there. Uh, I’m so sorry, but I have to go.

Nina: Um, Harmony, is everything okay?

Harmony: I’ll think about what you proposed and let you know.

Phyllis: Uh…

[ Door closes ]

Diane: Will you let me handle this, please? Well?

Jordan: You know how this works, Diane. I can’t disclose details of an ongoing investigation.

Diane: Ah, so there is an investigation.

Michael: She’s my sister, Commissioner.

Jordan: I only recently learned about this. Soon as we get something more concrete, I’ll let Josslyn know.

Carly: Hey. Hi. Are you okay?

Michael: Yeah, yeah, I’m fine. How’s Josslyn?

Carly: She’s hanging in there. Look, I got a weird phone call from Willow. Does she know you’re here?

Michael: Yeah, she was there when the whole thing happened.

Carly: I guess I’ll just text her.

Michael: Why didn’t you tell me about Joss?

Carly: I was going to. I didn’t have a chance.

Michael: I’m afraid that reporter’s going to make things worse for her.

Carly: Well, who the hell is this guy?

Jordan: Freelance. He’s written several articles for The Invader.

Carly: Pre- or post-Shawn?

Jordan: Pre.

Carly: Well, that’s good. Maybe Alexis will be able to shut it down. Diane, can you please take care of him?

Diane: Of course.

Carly: Thank you. I love you.

Michael: Love you.

Carly: Alright. Excuse me.

[ Door opens, closes ]

TJ: Willow passed out.

Willow: I’m — I’m fine.

Epiphany: We will let a doctor be a judge of that.

TJ: I texted Dr. Nelson that I was bringing her down to admit her.

Epiphany: Okay, well, I will put her in an exam room and check her vitals while we wait.

Willow: [ Sighs ] I need to know how Michael is doing. Wait, do you have my phone?

TJ: Yeah.

Willow: Thank you. He’s being held at the PCPD overnight? Oh, my God.

Epiphany: There is nothing that you can do for Michael if you’re not well.

Willow: But this is serious.

Epiphany: So is this. Now, what would you tell one of your patients, hmm?

Willow: I would advocate for them to take care of themselves first.

Epiphany: Good answer. Now, let’s go do just that.

Willow: [ Sighs ] Thank you for everything, really.

TJ: Of course. Keep me updated? Thanks.

Alexis: Well, like I’ve said, The Invader is not a tabloid, so if this is another one of your gossipy pitches, you can save us both the trouble.

Smoltz: I took your notes from our last meeting. This story checks all the boxes for the paper’s new mission. I even got this for my troubles. Yeah, that’s how much I believe in it.

Alexis: Okay, go ahead. Let’s hear it.

Smoltz: First off, it’s got a hot-button social-justice angle — nonconsensual pornography, aka revenge porn. A video was sent out to the entire student body at PCU, even played on a projector in a classroom.

Alexis: Hopefully, by accident.

Smoltz: So, from there, we’ve also got cyber bullying and technology run amok. Then there’s the whole criminal aspect.

Alexis: Yeah, I know, Smoltz, yeah. Revenge porn has been illegal in New York state since 2019.

Smoltz: Correctamundo. And the cherry on top? It involves a very influential mob family.

Alexis: Ah, there it is. Drifting to the salacious territory. So do you have any facts to back up your claims this time?

Smoltz: Yeah. Michael Corinthos clocked me in the face when I tried to interview him.

Alexis: Oh, that influential mob family. Yeah. And one of the victims in this story is his sister, Josslyn Jacks.

Sonny: Is there a problem with Alexis?

Shawn: No. The Invader’s a huge success because of her. I just meant she really doesn’t need me to run it anymore. I acquired the West Coast newspapers to expand The Invader’s reach, and I leave tomorrow for San Francisco to get everything started.

Sonny: Look at you. Bona fide media mogul.

Shawn: Ah, I’m just a man who wanted a fresh start.

Sonny: Well, you got it. And you know what? Doesn’t happen for everyone.

Shawn: I heard about the divorce. I’m sorry.

Sonny: Yeah, so am I.

Shawn: How’s the rest of the family doing?

Sonny: Oh, look who it is, the power couple.

Molly: Hi, Uncle Sonny.

Sonny: [ Chuckles ]

Molly: Hi.

TJ: It’s good to see you.

Sonny:  Yeah, you, too.

TJ: Did my dad tell you about his expanding media empire?

Sonny: Yeah, at length, actually.

[ Laughter ]

Shawn: Okay, okay, hold on. I’m supposed to be bragging about you, out there saving lives. Look at you.

Molly: Oh, well, just another day, right, babe?

TJ: Bragging rights go both ways.

Molly: Hey, can you join us for dinner?

Sonny: No, no. I was just, uh — just going to pick up — whatever. It doesn’t matter. Listen, have a — have a great time in San Francisco.

Shawn: Right.

Sonny: Enjoy your family.

Shawn: Thank you, my friend.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Sonny: Officer Bentley, what can I do for you? Whoa, whoa, wait. What about Michael?

Alexis: Are you sure it’s Joss in the video?

Smoltz: With her boyfriend, Cameron Webber.

Alexis: They must be horrified.

Smoltz: So what do you say?

Alexis: I admit it’s better than the other stories that you’ve pitched me. But if you’re really in line with the new direction that The Invader is taking, why did Michael clock you?

Smoltz: I may have raised the possibility that his sister and her boyfriend put up the video themselves.

Alexis: You provoked the victim’s family by sensationalizing the story? Do you see, Smoltz? Do you see why I would doubt your ability to report with accuracy?

Smoltz: [ Sighs ] Cards on the table?

Alexis: Please. I want the distinction of an Invader byline. It’s held in high regard now. In return, you get a piece on a hot-button issue featuring a hot-button family. You know as well as I do the Corinthos name sells. So do we have a deal?

Carly: I’d think twice about that.

Epiphany: [ Sighs ] Your B.P. Is low, and your respirations are shallow and rapid.

Willow: Well, I’m — I’m stressed about Michael and Josslyn. That’s — that’s understandable, isn’t it?

Epiphany: Have you eaten today? Mm-hmm. You don’t have to be a nurse to know that stress and lack of nutrition is a bad combination. You need to take better care of yourself. Our patients do not need our nurses collapsing on them.

Willow: I know, I know. [ Sighs ] I am so embarrassed.

Epiphany: We’ve all been there. [ Chuckles ] [ Sighs ] I remember when I was a student nurse.    [ Chuckles] I once drank so much coffee, trying to stay awake during clinicals that I spent half my shift doubled over in pain in the break room. Worst stomach ache of my life. [ Laughs ]

Willow: I can’t even imagine that. You’re such an amazing nurse.

Epiphany: Sucking up to me is not going to get a doctor in here any faster.

[ Both chuckle ]

Epiphany: I’m good at my job. I love what I do.

Willow: I really love it, too. Which surprised me. When I was teaching, I never thought I’d do anything else. Did you always want to be a nurse?

Epiphany: Hm. No, actually. But, uh, nursing’s been good to me. I love caring for patients. It brings me joy.

Michael: [ Sighs ] What are you doing here?

Sonny: I heard you were arrested. You alright?

Michael: I’m fine.

Sonny: Diane, can you get him out of here?

Diane: Well, that’s the plan, but he’ll be spending the night here unless I can work some magic with the D.A. So wish me luck.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

Sonny: What happened?

Michael: Doesn’t concern you.

Sonny: I know you’re upset, but I can help you.

Michael: I don’t want your help. I don’t need anything from you. Is that — is that clear enough?

Sonny: Alright, listen to me. I know we’ve had our differences lately.

Michael: Differences? Is that what you call it?

Sonny: But you’re my son. I love you. Jordan giving you a hard time? Just tell me if she is.

Michael: She’s just doing her job. Look, I punched a reporter in the face right in front of her. She had no choice but to bring me in.

Sonny: Was it self-defense?

Michael: He was getting in my face about Josslyn, so I just —

Sonny: What’s going on with Josslyn?

Michael: I told you, it doesn’t concern you.

Sonny: No, if it concerns Josslyn, it concerns me.

Michael: Really? See, I didn’t think you cared about anything these days except for Nina.

Sonny: Okay, leave my personal life out of it. My family comes first. You know that.

Michael: No, no, dad, Nina comes first for you. And just for the record, Josslyn isn’t your family anymore.

Nina: When Willow made it perfectly clear that she and Michael would not allow me to see Wiley, I figured it was time for me to get proactive. Thank you. So I threatened to sue for visitation rights.

Phyllis: I don’t blame you, but I wish a court battle could be avoided.

Nina: Thank you. Yeah, you and me both. I don’t want to put Wiley through that. Besides, Michael has proven that he is not above dirty tricks. I mean, who’s to say he’s not going to pull something again and get that judge to rule against me?

Phyllis: So what’s next?

Nina: Yeah, well, I thought I was going to talk to Harmony, which I did, and convince her to at least talk to Willow. And then maybe Willow could talk to Michael and convince him to let me be part of Wiley’s life.

Phyllis: Without getting the courts involved. Do you think she would do that?

Nina: I don’t know. You know, originally I thought, “yeah, she’s on board,” but you just saw right now she seemed pretty noncommittal, didn’t she?

Phyllis: I’m sure she just needs some time to think. When she does, she’ll realize that Wiley needs all of his grandmothers in his life.

Nina: Yeah. If only Michael and Willow would realize that, too.

Harmony: Thank you. What happened?

Willow: Uh, Michael was arrested.

Harmony: What? Why?

Willow: I’ll explain later. And I was too busy to eat today, so between that and the stress, I guess I passed out.

Harmony: I was so worried, terrified I’d lose you after we worked so hard to find our way back.

Willow: Mom, you’re — you’re — you’re not going to lose me.

Harmony: Good. Because I love you, and I’m so grateful that you’re in my life.

Willow: I love you too, mom.

Harmony: What did the doctor say?

Willow: I haven’t, um, seen one yet.

Harmony: Then I’m going to track one down.

Willow: Mom.

Harmony: Excuse me. Why hasn’t my daughter been seen?

Epiphany: And your daughter is…?

Harmony: Willow Tait. This is unacceptable.

Epiphany: We have a lot of patients tonight, and the doctors need to prioritize who they believe needs urgent care first.

Harmony: Willow fainted. How is that not urgent? Is there someone who can move her up on the list?

Epiphany: Not above me. I’m the head nurse.

Harmony: That’s perfect. You must have some decision- making power around here.

Epiphany: [ Sighs ] You’re a mother worried about her child. And for that reason and that reason only, I’m willing to make allowances, but you’re about to reach your limit.

Harmony: Please. My daughter has run herself ragged for your nursing program. There must be something you can do.

Shawn: So what are we thinking?

Molly: I can’t decide between the tagliatelle and the sea bass.

TJ: Okay, uh, you get one, I’ll get the other, and we share.

Molly: Have I told you lately that you are brilliant?

Shawn: [ Chuckles ]

TJ: Uh, not today.

Molly: Oh, well, you’re brilliant.

[ Laughs ]

TJ: Thank you, baby.

Jordan: Hello.

Molly: Hi.

TJ: Hey.

Shawn: Aw, it is so good to have you home.

Jordan: Aw, good to see you, too.

Shawn: How you feel?

Jordan: Never better.

Shawn: Mm, mm. Well, you have been missed.

Jordan: Really? ‘Cause I’m trying not to take it personally that you’re leaving for San Francisco right when I get back.

TJ: Yeah, Dad, what’s up with that?

Shawn: Just a business trip.

Jordan: Mm-hmm.

Shawn: Mm-hmm.

TJ: A long business trip.

Shawn: Come on, now, you can’t rush this type of thing. I have to make sure everything is running smoothly.

Jordan: Okay, where’s my hug?

TJ: Yep.

[ Jordan and Molly chuckle ]

Molly: Okay, okay, my turn. Do you think you can stand one more?

Jordan: Always.

Molly: [ Giggles ]

Jordan: I hear you’re doing great things at the D.A.’S office.

Molly: Yeah.

Jordan: I’m excited we get to work together.

Molly: I know. Me, too. I mean, don’t get me wrong, Mac is great, but everyone is so excited that you’re back.

Jordan: Mm, it’s almost like I never left.

Molly: Yeah.

Jordan: Except for this one skipping town on me.

[ Chuckles ]

Jordan: Hurry home, will you?

Shawn: I’ll do my best.

Carly: Let me guess. This is the so-called journalist trying to profit off of my daughter’s pain.

Smoltz: Mrs. Corinthos. I had the pleasure of meeting your son earlier. Or more specifically, his fist. How’s he doing in lockup?

Carly: He’s doing great, thanks. Which is more than you’re going to be able to say after my attorney files suit and sues you for every dime you’ve ever made.

Alexis: Alright, that’s enough of an introduction for now. Get out, Smoltz. Now.

Smoltz: Have a good evening, ladies.

Alexis: Out, out. I’m sorry for what Joss is going through.

Carly: If you mean that, you will not publish this story.

Alexis: I think that would be a mistake.

Carly: Are you kidding me? You’re such a hypocrite. I mean, the great defender of all wronged people everywhere. Yet when my daughter is violated, you just want to exploit it. Come on, Alexis, what if it was one of your girls?

Alexis: I’d be livid. But it’s because of my daughters that I think The Invader should run the story.

Carly: What?

Alexis: What Joss and Cameron, what they’re going through is terrible, but let’s be real. In situations like this, it’s usually the woman that bears the brunt.

Carly: Josslyn’s life is falling apart.

Alexis: It’s a big story, Carly, and it’s just a matter of time before someone else picks it up. But if The Invader runs it first, we can frame the narrative. I can make sure that it’s handled respectfully, I can be sensitive to what the kids are going through, focus on the fact that this is misogyny in the modern world and delve into the issues of consent and privacy in the digital age.

Carly: So if you run the article, then you get to shape the perspective moving forward.

Alexis: Let me put it this way. If someone else runs the article, it will be trashy in comparison. Now, I don’t have to mention Joss’ or Cameron’s name if they don’t want me to, but I could also provide them with the opportunity to speak about their experience, both shared and personal. It would be entirely up to them.

Carly: [ Sighs ]

Shawn: [ Chuckles ]

TJ: Why do women always go to the bathroom together?

Shawn: One of the world’s greatest mysteries.

TJ: Right.

[ Both chuckle ]

Shawn: Hey, you and Molly still on board to keep an eye on Alexis while I’m gone?

TJ: Yeah, of course. Have there been any developments with Harmony?

Shawn: Nothing more since we last spoke about it.

TJ: Which means you’re still worried. Have you considered talking to Alexis?

Shawn:  I did. Let’s just say she doesn’t share my concerns. I know Alexis is a strong woman and more than capable of making her own choices, but I also know how big that heart of hers is. I hate to see someone use it against her. I’m not a fan of someone taking advantage of my friends.

TJ: Just… just friends?

Shawn: Yeah.

TJ: How do you feel about that?

Shawn: You can’t keep living in past. You know, time to move on.

Nina: When I found out that Nelle was my daughter, after she already passed, I was devastated.

Phyllis: I remember.

Nina: The only thing that hurt more was waking up from my coma to… to learn that my baby was gone.

Phyllis: I can’t begin to express my regret for the part I played in separating you and your little girl.

Nina: No, it’s not your fault. It was all my mother’s fault. Besides, if it wasn’t for you, I never would have known about the half-heart necklace.

Phyllis: I wonder if that would’ve been best.

Nina: I’m glad I have closure. Even though it hurts.

Phyllis: Well, I’ll never get over the guilt.

Nina: You were honest with me. Unlike Carly. No, it doesn’t — it doesn’t excuse all the mistakes that I have made, believe me, and I’ve made plenty of them, like when I told Wiley that Willow was not his real mom. I shouldn’t have done that, but I was just desperately trying to have some kind of connection with Nelle. I was panicked, thinking that she was going to be erased.

Phyllis: Wiley was your only tie to your daughter.

Nina: And then when Michael was trying to sever that tie, well, we all know how that turned out.

Phyllis: Mm. Not well.

Nina: And because of that, I may have lost my grandson forever.

Harmony: Are you still feeling lightheaded? Any dizziness?

Willow: Truthfully, I’m — I’m starving. Do you think you could grab me a sandwich from the cafeteria?

Harmony: Of course. Do you care what kind?

Willow: Turkey, if they have it.

Harmony: Yeah. Be right back.

[ Door closes ]

Epiphany: Thank you.

Willow: [ Sighs ] She means well.

Epiphany: I’m sure she does.

Dr. Nelson: Nurse Johnson… …what exactly is going on here?

Sonny: Josslyn will always be my daughter. I don’t care if I’m with Carly or not.

Michael: Right. And you want Josslyn to rely on you, right?

Sonny: Of course I do. Why wouldn’t I, Michael?

Michael: Well, um, why the hell would she when you prioritized Nina?

Sonny: Oh, that’s not what happened. How many times do I got to —

Michael: That’s exactly what happened. Look, dad, you claim to be a family man, right? But a family man wouldn’t sabotage his wife and kids to protect the woman who blew their lives apart.

Sonny: You done?! What do you want from me?!

Carly: I hate that Josslyn even has to weigh this decision.

Alexis: So do I.

Carly: It’s beyond humiliating. She’s being harassed online.

Alexis: I’m truly sorry, Carly.

Carly: Well, the effects of this are devastating, and I keep telling Josslyn that it’s going to pass. And it will. I know that. But —

Alexis: But it will be some time.

Carly: [ Sighs ] I don’t want things to get worse for her. Do you understand that?

Alexis: I’m on Joss’ side — and yours. If you don’t want me to do the story, then I won’t. But somebody will. And wouldn’t it be better if Joss had some say over how that was done?

Carly: She and Cam are just starting out their lives as adults. I mean, to be dealt this hand…

Alexis: You never know. Joss might find talking about this experience to be empowering.

Carly: If she doesn’t want it published?

Alexis: Then I won’t.

Carly: It’s her call. I’m going to talk to Josslyn, and I will let you know.

Alexis: Just be warned, there’s not a lot of time.

Carly: [ Sighs ]

[ Door closes ]

TJ: Should we do this?

Molly: Definitely.

Jordan: Okay.

Shawn: Okay, what do you think that’s about?

Jordan: Maybe they’re just so hopelessly in love, they couldn’t wait another minute to be alone together.

Shawn: Well, knowing those two, I wouldn’t rule it out.

Jordan:  It’s amazing, isn’t it? Still crazy in love after almost 10 years together.

Shawn: Yeah. They’re a perfect fit.

Jordan: Maybe not getting married is the answer. Next time, I’ll try a domestic partnership, see if that works out any better.

Shawn: Well, with all the mistakes we both made, with all the regrets we’ll always have, there’s one brilliant consolation. We have a son, and he is thriving.

Jordan: Thriving’s not even an adequate word, is it?

Shawn: [ Chuckles ] Right. Uh, okay, what is this?

Jordan: What is this?

TJ: Tonight is a celebration of family. My mom is back and healthier than ever.

Shawn: Yeah, she is.

TJ: And, dad — thank you — I will miss you while you’re gone, but I am so proud of all the good you’re doing. To my parents.

Shawn: To family.

Jordan: To family.

TJ: To family.

Molly: To family. Aww.

Dr. Nelson: Can we speak privately?

Epiphany: Of course. Dr nelson, Dr. Ashford and I have been in touch with you about this patient, who just happens to be one of our nursing students.

Dr. Nelson: So she gets special treatment. Is that it?

Epiphany: She’s been waiting for quite a while.

Dr. Nelson: Because you’re busy, nurse Johnson. Patients are seen based on the severity of their condition.

Epiphany: I’m aware.

Dr. Nelson: Then you’re also aware that Ms. Tait was stable, putting her further down the list.

Epiphany: She only needed an I.V. of saline and electrolytes. You would have written it up, you would have signed off, I would have set it up. So I skipped a step. It’s not like I haven’t done this before.

Epiphany: That’s not the point. You stepped outside the chain of command, and you took it upon yourself to treat a patient. These protocols are in place for a reason.

Epiphany: I understand.

Dr. Nelson: We’ll finish this discussion later. How are you feeling, Ms. Tait?

Willow: Much better, thank you.

Epiphany: Dr. Ashford examined her upstairs. He’s filled me in. It’s all in her chart.

Dr. Nelson: Well, since you’ve already began treatment, I’ll let you finish it.

Willow: I am so sorry. I did not mean to get you in trouble.

Epiphany: No, it’s okay. [ Sighs ] Honestly, you would think that after 20 years, he would have a little more trust in my judgment. I have been working as a nurse for 20 years. Longer than some of these — no, most of these doctors, and I still have to defer to their judgment.

Willow: That must be so frustrating.

Epiphany: I just wish that I had a more active role in patient-care decisions.

Willow: So why don’t you get a job where you will?

Epiphany: [ Chuckles ] I’ve been a nurse for so long, I honestly don’t think I could do anything else.

Willow: I felt the same way about teaching, remember? But then I realized I was ready for a change. Maybe you are, too.

Phyllis: I know it feels bleak.

Nina: It’s the bleakest.

Phyllis: But people are capable of forgiveness.

Nina: Yeah, and Willow, she’s very forgiving. When we first met, we had our issues, but we got past them, and we’ve had some really touching moments with each other since then. I just don’t understand why Willow can’t see that Wiley is my only link to my daughter.

Phyllis: It’s a difficult situation. Maybe Harmony is the answer…

Nina: Well —

Phyllis…the bridge between all of you.

Nina: I don’t know. My gut is saying that she’s going to choose to stay in her daughter’s good graces over helping me.

Phyllis: Well, you never know. [ Sighs ] If Harmony loves Wiley… …maybe she’ll see the wisdom in having you be a part of his life.

Nina: Yeah. From your lips to… …Harmony’s ears.

Phyllis: What’s this now?

Nina: Well, you knew her back in the old New York days. You know, you could talk to her, convince her to put in a good word for me?

Phyllis: We were acquaintances over 20 years ago. I don’t hold any sway with that woman.

Nina: But you have more sway than I do. Come on, Phyllis. Everyone listens to you. Everybody. You know that’s true. Please.

Phyllis: This is a family-custody matter. I don’t feel comfortable taking sides. However, I’ll be willing to talk to Harmony and tell her about the Nina I know and love. She can then come to an informed decision on her own.

Nina: Yes! Thank you.

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ]

Sonny: [ Sighs ] You know what? I’m not going to have Nina used against me anymore. You understand?

Michael: No, I’ll never understand.

Sonny: Well, how many times we going to do this? I was trying to keep the peace. What’d you want me to do, attack Nina? You think that would have helped?

Michael: [ Chuckles ]

Sonny:  No, I’m ask–

Michael: Right, right, right. This coming from you, the gold standard in payback. Now you want bygones to be bygones. Do you understand why I don’t want Nina in Wiley’s life? It’s because she’s unbalanced. She does horrible, hateful things and then claims she doesn’t mean them. Who does that sound like to you? Right. Nelle.

Sonny: Oh, so Nina is now poisoning people? Is that — is that — is that what’s happening?

Michael: Maybe. We don’t know.

Sonny: Really? Really, Michael? Is that what she’s doing?

Michael:  Close enough. So, no, I don’t — I don’t need your help, alright? And neither does Josslyn.

Sonny: Okay, I’m going to find out what happened to Josslyn. So why don’t you just tell me?

Michael: Because she wouldn’t want me to, Dad. And, honestly, I’d venture to say she’d rather have the whole situation on a billboard in Times Square than to accept anything from you. You made your choice, and your family wasn’t it.

Sonny: I’m sorry that I caused you any pain, and maybe one day you will understand.

Nina: Thank you.

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ] Talk to you soon.

Nina: Okay.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sonny: Uh, right.

Will: Mm-hmm.

Chad: Okay, so how are you gonna get some real deal guy to come on to him?

Sonny: Well, it would have to be somebody who, you know, leo’s already expressed interest in. You know, somebody who wouldn’t have to sell himself.

Chad: Why are you guys looking at me like that? What do you want me to do?

Will: Something along the lines of making leo’s wildest dreams comes true.

Chad: And how am I supposed to do that?

Sonny: By going to bed with him.

Will: He’s thinking about it.

Chad: Thinking–thinking– thinking it over. How about plan b?

Sonny: Uh, what’s plan b?

Chad: I shoot him in cold blood in horton town square. That way, I can spend the rest of my life in prison, which will be vastly better than what you two are offering.

Will: All right, come on. You were in a bed with him in phoenix. That didn’t kill you.

Chad: You know the james bond movie when he wakes up with a tarantula next to his pillow? That was better than waking up next to him. My eyes! My eyes!

Sonny: You said you’d help us.

Chad: That was before the two of you were out of your ever-loving minds!

Craig: So you want me to go after kayla johnson’s job?

Leo: You’d be great at it.

Craig: Yeah, well, so is she.

Leo: Babe, think about it. You just said that because of nancy’s big mouth, you’re probably gonna lose your job in new york.

Craig: Okay. We’re gonna establish some ground rules right now. We do not trash nancy. We just don’T.

Leo: She’s trying to get you fired.

Craig: She is in pain, a lot of pain.

Leo: Well, I’m sorry, but I think she’s overreacting horribly to this turn of events.

Craig: Oh, well, her overreacting must really bother you, you being so buttoned down and everything.

Leo: Well, I’m sorry, I don’t mean to start a fight. I’m thinking about you. Craig, you know I would be happy to spend the rest of my life alone with you on a desert island. But your work is central to who you are. You’re a healer.

Craig: [Sighs] I can be a healer without taking kayla’s job.

Leo: You wouldn’t be taking it. If she refuses to fire dr. Beelzebub evans, she’d be losing it on her own. And as that was your former job, it’d be like “once more into the breach.” Craig. You can’t fight this. It’s fate.

Kayla: And I’m telling you that dr. Evans is completely recovered and fully competent. You know, I’m on duty right now. Do you think that we could talk about this in the morning? Mr. Hartley, I think you know me well enough to know that I do not take well to threats. Good night.

[Huffs]

[Muttering]

Abigail: Aunt kayla? Are you all right?

Kayla: Ah, abigail, yes. I thought I got off that stupid island that I would come back here to a little bit of sanity.

Abigail: I heard–I heard you talking about marlena.

Kayla: Yeah. It turns out that the board, egged on by their chairman, mr. Burns, is trying to get her fired. That woman has been through so much.

Marlena: You want me to leave?

John: You have to. So please, doc, just you go on downstairs and stay with johnny until this is all over.

Marlena: Belle is my daughter. There’s no way that I would leave her at a time like this.

John: Would you think about this? We now know that when eric performed the exorcism, yeah, he drove the devil out of you, but it took over belle because she was in the room. Now, he’s come after you twice. I don’t want to give him a third chance.

Marlena: Why do you think that he would try again?

John: I know that he won’t if you’re not here. The only way I can be sure the devil is really gone is if no one else is in this room.

Marlena: What about you? What if he decides to make you his next host?

[Ominous music]

[Phone line trilling]

Johnny: Uncle shawn. It’s me, johnny. Look, can you come over to my house right away? Something’s happened to aunt belle. No, no. No, I– look, I can’t say any more over the phone. Just get here as fast as you can. Okay. I’ll see you soon.

[Eerie music]

Demon johnny: Haul ass, shawn. You’re gonna get me into that room, so help you. I can’t have them figuring out that their precious belle isn’t the problem. I am.

[Eerie music]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Sonny: Look, it’s not that we don’t understand you might have some, um, reservations about the plan.

Chad: Sonny, sonny, reservations isn’t quite strong enough for how I feel about it. Try repulsion. Repugnance. Abject horror.

Will: I don’t think he wants to do it.

Chad: Look, I’ve–I’ve heard you both go on hour-long rants about leo and now you want me to make his “dreams come true?” I thought we were friends. Now, you want me to do– to do that for chloe’s father, who I barely know, so he doesn’t have a rude awakening?

Sonny: Okay, okay, how about we just talk about what–what, um, doing that actually entails.

Chad: For god’s sakes, I don’t need the details.

Sonny: When we say “go to bed with him,” that is what we mean, but that’s all we mean.

Will: Chad. Don’t worry. Your virtue is safe with us.

Sonny: Mm-hmm.

Leo: Craig, I’m sorry. Upon reflection, I see that I have been unfair to nancy. Yes, she has been possessive, aggressive, vindictive–

Craig: Is this you being fair to her?

Leo: But if I stop and put myself in her sling heels, I see that even I might react badly if I ever– lost you. I can’t even bear to think about it.

Craig: Well, I don’t think you need to worry about that.

Leo: And another thing. While you know that I am not really a religious person, I am deeply, deeply spiritual, and I believe that everything happens for a reason. Think about it. At the very moment that nancy is trying to sabotage your career in new york, the devil herself sends university hospital into a tailspin. It’s like some higher power wants–no, needs you to be the new chief of staff. Think about it. This could be the start of a whole new life for us.

John: Well, doc, you see, if I’m performing this exorcism, I’m gonna have god’s protection.

Marlena: Are you sure? You’re not even a priest, john. Technically, you never were.

John: But I know what I’m doing. And I believe in what I’m doing, and I’m doing this for my daughter.

Marlena: Belle’s my daughter too. Whenever two or more of you are gathered in his name, love is the only thing that will defeat this devil. Together we are stronger. I’m not leaving here.

Shawn: All right, where’s belle? Why couldn’t you tell me what’s wrong on the phone?

Johnny: There’s no good way to say this, uncle shawn. Aunt belle’s possessed. Migraine attacks?

Chad: I know my virtue is safe because I’m not doing it. Did it ever occur to you that maybe leo and craig should be together? That maybe leo actually does love him?

Will: Okay, leo’s not capable of love. In order to love, you need to have a heart, and he does not.

Sonny: Yeah. Okay. Do you remember him back in phoenix? He’s a mercenary, a narcissist who just throws himself at men with money.

Will: Exactly. In fact, I’m surprised he settled for craig. I mean, sure, he’s well off, but not by leo’s standards. And he’s good-looking, but he’s old enough to be leo’s father. What he really likes are young men with family money, with lots of family money.

Sonny: Yeah, I’m sorry to break it to you, chad, but it wasn’t just your inner beauty that leo was attracted to.

Chad: Oh, I thought it was true love.

Will: And, listen, don’t you see that with your looks and the dimera money, all you have to do is just crook your little finger and he’d be putty in your hands. Maybe I–maybe I should’ve put it differently.

Chad: I am not saying that I couldn’t do it. I am saying that I won’T.

Sonny: Okay, again, you didn’t let us finish. Because you will not have to do anything. The minute you two are horizontal, we’re gonna send craig in.

Will: Yeah, like the cavalry.

Chad: Well, I am sorry, “send craig in?” What, am I supposed to have an audience now too?

Sonny: Craig needs to know the truth about leo, okay? And one picture is worth a thousand words.

Chad: It is not my responsibility to open his eyes. I am sorry, but bottom line is craig’s bad boyfriend is not my problem! All right, there’s not one reason why I should do this for him.

Will: Okay. Okay. Chad, I’m not asking you to do this for wesley. I’m asking you to do this for sonny.

Leo: Oh, oh, oh! Light bulb over my head! Once you are the new chief of staff, put me in charge of hr. I am such a people person. I’d be great at it, and I could be your right-hand man, your enforcer.

Craig: [Laughs] Okay. I don’t know how to put this, but you don’t know what you’re talking about, how grueling that job can be. Chief of staff gets blamed for everything and thanked for nothing.

Leo: So are you saying the chief of staff job in new york was any better?

Craig: No. Worse. All the pressure and crazy times a hundred, just like everything else in new york.

Leo: I thought you loved your job.

Craig: I do, certain aspects, like the paycheck.

Leo: Being the boss?

Craig: Yes, and, well, helping people.

Leo: You could help people here. God knows salem needs help.

Craig: I am not going to help people by taking away someone else’s job. The last time I did that, I ended up with psycho nurses and seth burns.

Leo: Who? What?

Craig: Don’t ask. It’s like I told you, when I found out that chloe was my daughter, and then when joy was born and chloe got the bone marrow to save her life, I– I realized at that time that I didn’t want to be a money-grubbing, social-climbing weasel.

Leo: But you wouldn’T.

Craig: Are you– why are you pushing this?

Leo: I’m not!

Craig: Yes, you are! Is that what you want me to be? Is it? A money-grubbing, social-climbing weasel? Was I wrong, leo, about you wanting to change?

[Scoffs]

Abigail: So, how’s sarah?

Kayla: We are still waiting for her test results to come back before we can plan the next step.

Abigail: I don’t suppose she’s allowed visitors?

Kayla: No. I’m sorry. She’s pretty fragile. She’s extremely angry that she’s hospitalized against her will. And I’m afraid she will see you as a stranger at best, or enemy at worst.

Abigail: Well, I understand why she wouldn’t want to see me. I guess–I guess I was just hoping to ease my conscience.

Kayla: How would sarah have anything to do with your conscience?

Abigail: If I hadn’t gone after gwen with that syringe and left it lying there, kristen would’ve never been able to give her the drug and none of this would’ve ever happened.

Shawn: No, I know what susan said, all right, but I would’ve known, all right? I would’ve at least sensed it.

Johnny: Uncle shawn, I’m sorry. I saw her myself. And I wasn’t the only one.

Shawn: Tell me.

Johnny: Well, she attacked my grandma, marlena. She–she had the glowing eyes, the voice. Just like we saw at the exorcism. And I had to hit her over the head to stop her. Honestly, I think she would’ve killed my grandma if I hadn’T.

Shawn: Okay, where is she?

Johnny: She’s upstairs with grandpa john and grandma marlena. They’re about to perform an exorcism. You can’t go up.

Shawn: Why the hell not?

Johnny: Because grandpa john laid down the law. He said the fewer people that were up there the safer it’d be. I just– I thought you should know.

Shawn: Yeah, you’re damn right I should know.

Johnny: I’m really sorry. I–I feel terrible.

Shawn: Yeah? Well, you should feel terrible because this is all your fault, johnny.

Belle: [Groans]

Marlena: I’m right here, darling.

Belle: John.

Marlena: John, you– you mean your dad.

John: I’m right here, izzy.

Belle: No, not john. Johnny.

Marlena: Did she just say “johnny?” It’s my 5:52 woke-up-like-this migraine medicine.

Sonny: Will, don’T.

Will: I’m sorry, I– I have to. It took sonny a long time to get over what leo did to him. He was humiliated, he was betrayed by that little worm. And he did get over it. But then he found out that he’s doing it someone else. And chad, he can’t sleep. I know he tries to hide it, but this eating him up inside.

[Soft dramatic music]

Sonny: I’ll admit it, it’s true. When that disgusting creep caught us trying to warn craig, he said, “nice try, bitches.” He smiled, you know, smirked right at me. And then it hit me. He liked that we were trying to stop him. It turned him on to have me watch what he did to me and to do it with another man. I have to stop him.

Chad: Oh, sonny. This doesn’t sound like it is about wesley at all. This sounds like it is about revenge. Why didn’t you just say that?

Sonny: [Laughs] So you’re in?

Chad: I am a dimera. We invented revenge. Okay? But you, you owe me. You understand me? You owe me.

Sonny: I know, I know.

Chad: And I don’t even know if this is gonna work, okay? Sure, yes, I am irresistible. But leo knows that I am straight and that I am married and that I really love my wife.

Will: Well, that is where abigail comes in.

Kayla: Abigail, do you really think that sarah is here because you didn’t get rid of the syringe?

Abigail: Well–

Kayla: I have something to tell you. Kristen dimera kidnapped sarah because she wanted to save her own butt. And if she hadn’t found that syringe, she would’ve taken her out with a baseball bat or something. No, this is ridiculous. You cannot feel guilty about this.

Abigail: But I am the person who got the drug from dr. Rolf.

Kayla: In order to get to gwen, a woman who poisoned you, publicly humiliated your father, ruined your marriage or at least tried to, to get her to tell the truth. So here’s a news flash for you. You couldn’t do it because you are a good person.

Abigail: No, I couldn’t do it because of gabby.

Kayla: Well, that’s just details. Just details. How about this? The day that kristen dimera repents and atones for her sins, that’s the day that you can feel guilty about this.

Abigail: Okay.

Kayla: Okay. And, listen, thanks to you, we have some idea about what’s in that syringe, and that’s going to help sarah. So this is not your fault. End of discussion.

Leo: I have changed. I am a new man since I met you, craig wesley. But this isn’t about me. It’s about you, your career, and most of all, the good people of this town. Do you have any idea the terror kayla unleashed on the patients at that hospital because the devil was in their midst and she looked the other way? I mean, according to “the intruder,” kayla basically let the devil run amok in the icu where he–she–they woke up a crazy coma patient named jan spears and sicced her on marlena’s own daughter. You can’t make this stuff up.

Craig: I don’t think you can blame kayla for not knowing marlena was possessed by the devil. She’s not the only one that was tricked.

Leo: Oh, honey, there is so much more you don’t know.

Johnny: My fault? How is this my fault?

Shawn: It’s you and your– your damn movie, all right? The devil would’ve never come back if you hadn’t dared it to. Oh, god. You know what? Look, I’m sorry. All right, you know what? This is exactly what he wants. He wants to turn us against each other.

Johnny: It certainly is.

Shawn: Look, I–I’m just– I’m just angry with myself. ‘Cause your grandmother, she warned me and I just– I didn’t want to listen.

Johnny: It’s–I mean, it’s all just so hard to believe, you know?

Shawn: Well, you have to believe in him to get rid of him. But I don’t care what john says. I need to be with belle, I need to see her.

Johnny: Okay. She’s upstairs.

Shawn: All right.

[Eerie music]

Belle: Johnny.

Marlena: Yes. Yes, he was here. Honey, we’re all here for you.

Belle: It’s him. It’s him.

John: What’d she say?

Shawn: What the hell?

John: Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing here?

Johnny: I’m sorry. Look, I called him. I know you said you didn’t want him here, but he has a right to know.

John: Damn it, I told you no one else could be in this room. Shawn. We’re gonna do an exorcism, but we need to make sure that if it works, the devil just doesn’t take over another person in this room.

Shawn: I’m not just another person; I’m her husband.

Marlena: No one was trying to exclude you, shawn.

Shawn: Yeah, well, it sure seems that way. Belle? Belle, I’m here. Come on, belle, say something.

Demon belle: Damn it! Would you stop calling me belle?

Kayla: I’m sorry. Sometimes when I get too tired and too mad, I overstate my case. And I didn’t mean to sound so imperious back there.

Abigail: No, you didn’t at all. No, you’re just trying to make me feel better, and you did.

Kayla: Well, then I did something good today.

[Laughs]

Abigail: You know, earlier, I heard you talking about marlena’s job. Would it be helpful if we ran an editorial in the paper?

Kayla: No, I think that would just inflame things. I think–I just–I think I need to calm down and I need to convince the board that this is all gonna blow over in time.

Abigail: I heard you say something about threats.

Kayla: Apparently, seth burns said that my job was on the line. I’ll tell you something. The way I feel right now, if somebody wants this damn job, they can have it.

Leo: You have no idea how university hospital has fallen since you left. Babies switched at birth and sold to the highest bidder. Ever hear of security, dr. Johnson? Background checks? Moving out of the nursery, live patients declared dead.

Craig: I wish I could say that was something new.

Leo: Speaking of dead, our waitress appears to have given up the ghost. Garconess! Un autre, s’il vous plait. Where was I? Oh, yes, university hospital, the kayla johnson administration. Homicidal doctors and vip lab space handed over to stefano dimera’s mad scientist, and, from what I am told, some very, very rude candy stripers. I’m sorry, craig, but it is your duty to take over as the new chief of staff. The sick and dying of salem need you.

Kayla: I’m sorry, but I need to get back to work.

Abigail: Oh, yeah.

Kayla: I will keep you posted about sarah, all right?

Abigail: Thank you.

Kayla: And don’t worry, she’s in good hands.

Abigail: I know that. And thanks for listening to me.

Kayla: Oh, gosh, any time. I mean it. All right, I’ll see you later.

Abigail: Bye.

[Phone ringing] Hey, what’s up? I’m on my way home.

Chad: I’m not–I’m not there. I’m with will and sonny at the kiriakis place. Would you mind meeting us here?

Abigail: Yeah. What’s going on?

Chad: Eh, it’s complicated. I’ll fill you in when you get here.

Shawn: Oh, my god, belle.

Demon belle: Don’t you say that to me.

Shawn: How long has she been like this?

Marlena: Since the exorcism.

Demon belle: Did you really think it would be that easy to get rid of me?

Shawn; no, I would’ve known.

Demon belle: I didn’t want you to. I was incognito so you wouldn’t interfere with my work.

John: What work?

Demon belle: I turned myself into ej at the courthouse and stuck my tongue down abigail’s throat. And my, wasn’t that a delicious treat.

[Eerie music]

We hit the bike trails every weekend

Johnny: I knew my dad wouldn’t do anything that stupid–right in the middle of his trial, just before my uncle chad was about to testify. You turned him against my father! Why?

Marlena: To destroy love. To tear families apart. To turn brother against brother.

Demon belle: Oh, marlena. You know me so well.

Johnny: Damn you!

John: No, johnny! No! No! It’s not belle!

Marlena: Belle! Belle!

John: It’s not–it’s not– damn it, stop!

Abigail: Mm-hmm. You know, I got to say, when you asked me to come over here, I just thought we’d be catching up with old friends. It just–it didn’t occur to me that all, uh, three of you were gonna ask me to sign off on my husband getting into bed with another man.

Chad: Yeah, it’s extreme.

Abigail: But you’re okay with this?

Chad: Well, I do not want to do this.

Abigail: Okay, that’s–that’s really very good for me to hear. Um–

Chad: But leo’s done some bad stuff and he’s dead set on doing it more, so–

Abigail: So it’s a far, far better thing you do, huh?

Chad: It’s your call.

Abigail: Hmm. Well, I guess I’d still be on lunatic island if it weren’t for you, so where do we start?

Chad: Well, as you might’ve guessed, I would like to get this over asap.

Will: Yes. Oh– I will call the inn.

[Phone line trilling] Hello, I would like dr. Craig wesley’s room please. Or maybe it’s under the name leo stark. Oh, right, okay. I’ll call back. They are out for the evening.

Chad: Well, they have to come home sometime. And when they do, abby and I will be waiting for them.

Leo: And think about it, what’s left for you in new york anyway? Parker and joy are away at school, and the two adults who love you most in the world, me and chloe, we’re right here.

Craig: Yeah. How do I put this delicately? You’re not the most popular person here.

Leo: Well, it matters to me not that I am liked so long as I am loved. Well, that was profound, don’t you think?

Craig: It was your depth that attracted me in the first place.

Leo: Don’t I know it.

Craig: Guess it would be nice to live closer to chloe. And I guess if they are gonna get rid of kayla anyway, I could just put my hat in the ring.

Leo: Unless there’s someone on the board who remembers the work you did. They could put your hat in the ring for you.

Craig: Maybe you’re right. Wonder where seth burns is.

Leo: This calls for tiramisu.

John: It’s not belle, kid.

Shawn: You’re not helping, you know.

Johnny: I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I just– what she said.

Marlena: It was very upsetting. But it wasn’t belle. It was him.

John: Now do you understand why I didn’t want anyone else in this room?

Shawn: I’m staying. Belle’s my wife.

Marlena: John, you know how I feel about this. The more people in this room that love her, the better.

John: No. Because if there are people in this room, we’ll never know for sure if the devil is really gone.

Johnny: You know what? I just got an idea. We treat our faces to the best skin care.

Will: All right. One, two.

[Both groaning] I wonder if leo’s taking the bait.

Sonny: There’s not much we can do now until chad and abigail have told us they’ve set the stage. I guess that means we’re done with our workout.

Will: Well, not necessarily.

Chad: Well, a night all alone and we’re doing this.

Abigail: Well, this was not my idea.

Chad: Here he comes.

Abigail: Okay, here we go.

[Clears throat] You’re never– you never listen to me!

Chad: Yes, I do!

Abigail: Okay, well, then what did I just say?

Chad: I–I don’t know. I can’t quote verbatim, but I’m sure it had something to do with how unhappy you are and how it’s always my fault, because that’s all you ever talk about!

Abigail: Well, you never say or do anything! And you haven’t touched me in months!

Chad: I have a had a lot on my mind!

Abigail: You think I don’t notice that the only time you light up is when you talk about going to visit will and sonny in phoenix? And that other guy, whatever his name is, leo stark.

Craig: It’s been a long time. Burns’ office is here.

Kayla: Dr. Wesley? +What are you doing here?

Johnny: I’ve been doing research for my movie. Hey, when you stopped at home to pick up your exorcism stuff, did you happen to–

John: Stuff?

Johnny: Yeah, the–the– did you get that– the medal, right? The medal thing that the gabe guy gave you, saint–

John: Benedict?

Johnny: Yeah.

John: Yeah. In fact, I’ve got it right–

Johnny: I don’t need to see it. I’m just saying, doesn’t it give you power over the devil so you can drive him away?

John: That’s a fact.

Johnny: So… grandma and uncle shawn hold onto it while you’re performing the exorcism, won’t they be protected too?

John: Well, I don’t know. I suppose so.

Marlena: Wow. Good thinking there.

Johnny: I only wish I would have thought of it last time.

Shawn: Okay, let’s do it.

Johnny: Well, I think I’m the one person that you guys don’t need in this room. So if you need me back for anything, I’ll just be right out here.

Marlena: Thank you, johnny.

Johnny: I just pray this works.

[Dramatic music]

John: All right, here we go. Put your hand on top of mine.

Marlena: Strange. She had no reaction.

[Eerie music]

John: In the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit. Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. This is the sound of nature breathing.

Will: Uh, why don’t we take this upstairs?

Sonny: You know, actually, I feel kind of guilty, being here alone with you while chad and abigail are stuck with leo.

Will: Leo who?

Sonny: [Laughs]

Leo: [Clears throat]

Chad: Leo. We were just talking about you.

Leo: Really?

Chad: I didn’t know you were in salem.

Leo: I have a new boyfriend, a salemite boyfriend.

Abigail: Mm. Well, lucky him.

Chad: Right. Sorry. Um… leo, this is my wife, abigail. Abigail, this is–

Abigail: Yeah, the famous leo. I kind of figured.

Leo: Famous?

Abigail: Yeah. He never stops talking about you, so you obviously made quite an impression on him.

Chad: I wouldn’t– I wouldn’t go that far.

Abigail: I would.

Leo: Anyway, nice to see you again.

[Smooth jazz music]

Chad: Hooked.

Craig: Kayla, you are the chief of staff, and you’ve given yourself a graveyard shift.

Kayla: Can I help you with something?

Craig: [Laughs] Well, uh, as a matter of fact, you can. After leo and I ran into you and steve, we– well, we started talking and we thought maybe we’d kick around the idea of staying in salem and I wanted to find out from you if you had any positions here available on staff?

Kayla: I don’t think that I have any position available for someone with your expertise.

Craig: Ah, well, that’s all right. I mean, I wouldn’t be climbing that proverbial ladder. I’d be perfectly happy starting at the bottom.

John: Depart, then, transgressor. Depart, seducer, full of lies and cunning. Foe of virtue, persecutor of the innocent. Give place, give way, you monster, give way to christ!

Marlena: And stay away from all of us!

[Thunder rumbles]

[Dramatic music]

[Tense music]

Belle: Shawn?

Shawn: I’m right here. I’m right here, honey. I’m right here. Hey.

Belle: Mom? Dad?

John: Hey, baby.

Belle: What happened?

Marlena: You don’t remember?

Belle: Where am I?

Marlena: You’re at the dimera mansion. You’re in johnny’s bedroom.

Belle: I was– I was downstairs with johnny and something happened.

Marlena: You’re okay, darling. You were sick, but now you’re healed.

Belle: What? I love you.

Shawn: I love you too.

Marlena: Thank god. The devil is gone, forever.

[ Thomas sighing ]

Sheila: You’ve got to stay quiet, thomas, this has got to stay between us.

Thomas: I don’t think I should do it. What choice do you have? Your parents’ happiness is at stake here. Yours and steffy’S. Brooke is out of your lives. Don’t ruin all the progress that your family has made.

Thomas: Okay, look, I think we should meet in person.

Sheila: It’s too dangerous. We–we shouldn’t be seen together, thomas.

Thomas: It’s either that, or the alternative.

Sheila: Yeah. Well, I definitely don’t want you coming back here to my hotel because that is too dangerous. So why don’t you meet me in the alley behind il giardino?

Steffy: Thomas. What is going on?

Brooke: I let him off the hook, deacon.

Deacon: And now you regret it.

Brooke: I thought I was doing ridge a favor by setting him free, but now I don’t know, what– what was I thinking?

Deacon: You–you didn’t think you had any options. Look, he hasn’t exactly been a prince through this whole thing. You know, he not only overreacted with our little kiss, but made a beeline over to taylor–

Brooke: Yeah, but because he was tired of me defending you.

Deacon: He leaves you at your most vulnerable point, jumps ship to the other team, and now he’s– he’s living in steffy’s guest house? I mean, come on, talk about overreacting.

Brooke: I know. But I told him he could have a divorce, and I don’t know why I did that because I don’t want to lose him. Deacon, I don’T.

Hope: Mom? Dad. What’s going on? Is everything okay?

Deacon: Your mom’s having a rough day.

Hope: Oh, well, is there anything we can do?

Brooke: No, honey. I– I just can’t believe how I got here. I mean, how I put myself in this predicament, destroying my marriage. What have I done?

Brooke: What did you

say your name was?

Sheila: Sheila carter.

Brooke: Oh, yes, of course,

the new nurse at forrester,

you have excellent credentials.

Sheila: Really, I’m an

expert with kids.

You know, you’re the one

and only person that can look

at brooke and say to

myself, “she’s my friend.”

Brooke: I don’t like you.

I think you’re a clinging,

pitiful, dependent human being.

Sheila: You don’t mean it.

Brooke: Yes, I do.

I mean every word of it.

You’re crazy.

You haven’t changed.

You’re incapable of change.

You’re still that crazy,

psychotic lunatic.

And I don’t want you anywhere

near my family.

Do you hear me?

You can’t be here, sheila.

I’m not going to let you put

eric in this position.

You have to leave.

But you’re dangerous, sheila.

A sociopath, and steffy

and her family need to be

protected from you.

I am going to make

certain that you are out

of all of our lives.

Once and for all.

[ Knocking on door ]

Sheila: Finn! I– wasn’t expecting this, uh, surprise visit from my son, not that I am complaining. What a pleasant surprise that.

Finn: Oh, I had to come by and check up on you.

Sheila: Check up on me?

Finn: I want to believe that you aren’t creating any more problems.

Steffy: There is something up with you.

Thomas: What are you talking about? I am fine. You expect me to believe that?

Thomas: Steffy, I’m not really in the mood right now.

Steffy: You’ve been acting really strange lately.

Thomas: You know, you’ve been saying that since we were kids?

Steffy: What about your phone conversation just now?

Thomas: What about it?

Steffy: Sounded pretty intense.

Thomas: So now you’re eavesdropping.

Steffy: Something is going on thomas, and I’m starting to get worried. What is going on? Tell me. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Hope: Mom, I hate seeing you like this.

Brooke: I don’t even know who I am anymore, and I look into the mirror and I don’t even recognize this woman looking back at me.

Hope: Well, then maybe we need to get someone in here who can actually help you.

Brooke: I am getting help, honey. I’m still going to my meetings and I’m seeing my therapist.

Liam: And you’ve stayed sober, which is huge.

Brooke: Yeah, but I still sent ridge away to live a life without me.

Hope: Well, ridge will come to his senses, but in the meantime, you have to stop making yourself sick over this.

Brooke: It’s too late, honey, I said goodbye to ridge. I made the worst decision of my life.

Deacon: Brooke, I don’t know if this helps, but when you and hope let me back into your life, it taught me that it’s never too late.

Brooke: Deacon, I– I still need to fill in the blanks. I need to put the pieces back together.

Sheila: Why do you always wonder if I’m up to no good?

Finn: I want to believe that you’re finally a changed woman. All the– all the things that you’ve been saying to taylor. Yeah, yeah, I know that you’ve been making visits to steffy’s mother.

Sheila: So taylor has filled you in, then, huh?

Finn: Yeah. And you know, you’re not supposed to just show up at her office.

Sheila: I know that, but we have a– a rather nice rapport, and she’s been very understanding about my desire to have a closer relationship with you and my grandson.

Finn: Yeah, taylor’s great. I’m lucky to be part of steffy and her family’s lives. You know, they’re my family now. And they mean the world to me.

Sheila: I’m your family too, finn. It’s just nice when we can all be in a room together. Show hayes what forgiveness and understanding really does look like, like to be a good example for my grandson.

Finn: Yeah, but steffy, she still has her walls up when it comes to you,

Sheila: Okay, well, I– I understand that. But her mother has been so welcoming. I’m hoping that I’m going to get to spend more time with you soon.

Finn: And a lot of that depends on you, whether or not you can stay on the straight and narrow, which I am counting on you doing. So please don’t let me down, mother.

Steffy: I know you, thomas. You can’t put anything past me.

Thomas: Oh, I know.

Steffy: So you would tell me if something were wrong, right?

Thomas: You don’t need to worry about me, steff.

Steffy: Why are you like, so intense right now? I don’t get it. Dad’s not staying at brooke’s, we don’t have to deal with the logans, mom and dad are getting closer. They’re reconnecting. You should be as happy as I am.

Thomas: Believe me, there is nothing I would like more, but it’s not that simple.

Steffy: I get that, not everything right now is rainbows and butterflies, but it feels as though our family is getting back on track, feels like a miracle.

Thomas: Yeah, it’s something like that. Look, I know that everything has been so hectic for dad lately. I’m doing the best that I can to make sure that he and our entire family are safe and happy.

Steffy: Good. Glad to hear it. Not that I was worried or anything that we weren’t on the same page. I know you’re as loyal to our family as anybody.

Thomas: Well, you should have no doubt about that. Now I do have to go. I’m meeting someone, so I’ll catch up with you later.

Sheila: Here you go.

Finn: Thank you.

Sheila: Uh-huh. Look, I understand that steffy has arguments for not trusting me.

Finn: Just all the– the history of you and the forres–

Sheila: Look– I am– I am, I am well aware and I am never going to forget the terrible mistakes that I’ve made, but that is behind us and everything that I do now, every decision I make, every move I make is so that I can get closer to you and my grandson,

Finn: Steffy and our son are the most important things to me. They’re my priority and they’re my life and my future. I have to do everything that I can to make sure that they feel protected.

Sheila: Oh, by keeping me at arm’s length?

Finn: Yes, for now. If– if you’re truly reformed and you’re living a good life, I’ll try to convince steffy to lighten up her opposition to you because I would really like to get to know you as my birth mother.

Sheila: I’ve disappointed you enough, son. And I promise you are never going to hear anything about me that would let you down again.

Hope: Okay, so now that dad has gone back to work, I need you to be completely open and honest with us.

Liam: Yeah, is deacon maybe adding to your anxiety because I kind of feel like he has that effect on people?

Brooke: No, gosh, no. Deacon isn’t to blame. I am.

Liam: Ye– okay, but hear me out here, and I’m going to say this as gently as possible. I think, I think if you want your best chance at reuniting with ridge, maybe time alone with deacon is not on the menu, especially considering how ridge feels about him?

Hope: And I’m sure, even though dad means well, because I know he feels partially responsible for what happened between the two of you that night, and I’m sure he’s just trying to be there for you and be supportive. I think liam has a point. It might be best to keep your distance right now.

Brooke: I know, I know, honey, I really, I understand. I didn’t invite deacon here. He just showed up. Same way he showed up that horrible nighT. But why couldn’t I control myself? I mean, who does that? Who betrays their own husband in their own home? I let another man sleep in our bed.

Liam: Okay–

Brooke: I know, stop, no, don’t say it. I know nothing happened. I know that, it’s just something really dark. Took over me. Something sinister. There was nothing I could do about it. I let it win.

Thomas: You’re late. I’ve been waiting for you.

Finn: Yeah, well, my son showed up unannounced and i wasn’t about to rush him off. He’s the reason after all I set all this is motion.

Thomas: So you say.

Sheila: If brooke hadn’t vowed to keep me from finn and hayes, I never would have set her up. Your parents reconnecting, that was actually icing on the cake, although I do believe taylor deserves to be reunited with ridge. I know you want that too, thomas,

Thomas: Brooke has hurt my dad more times than I can count, but we need to talk about this.

Sheila: What more is there to talk about? We’re this close to eliminating brooke from your father’s life permanently. Your, you parents are almost a couple again.

Thomas: Almost a couple. My dad is living in the guest house.

Sheila: Yeah. You know, when they’re ready to take it to the next level. And that’s going to come sooner than later, it’s just going to make things more meaningful.

Thomas: My father’s torn. He loves my mother, but he loves brooke too.

Sheila: That’s because he’s under brooke’s spell. Don’t you think it’s time we break that cycle, thomas? Don’t be tempted to tell anyone about what happened at brooke’s

Thomas: I want what’s best for my father, but I don’t know how much longer I can keep this under wraps.

Deacon: Wow.

Steffy: Deacon.

Deacon: Steffy forrester. Been a while. You– you’re having lunch?

Steffy: I’m looking for thomas. Have you seen him? Go with simparica trio it’s triple protection made simple!

Brooke: I have to face up to what I did.

Hope: Mom, you have been. You’ve been taking accountability

Liam: Yeah, little too much. You asked me, I think you’re cutting yourself zero slack here.

Brooke: I destroyed the most important relationship I ever had, with a man that I love. Ridge has been so patient and so understanding, and all I did was hurt him. I took it too far, I took our marriage vows and I just… threw them to hell. What? Why? Because I just wanted to drink alcohol? Because I wanted to kiss deacon? No, I want ridge. That’s all I want, and I need to get him to understand. And I have to figure out a way to explain it all to him.

Steffy: Have you seen my brother?

Deacon: No, I just got here. You want a drink or something?

Steffy: No, thank you.

Deacon: Okie doke, suit yourself.

Bartender: Excuse me. I couldn’t help overhearing, but you’re steffy forrester, right? Yeah, I know who your brother is.

Steffy: Did you see him?

Bartender: Yeah, I– i can’t promise he’s still there, but I just saw him in the alley when I took the trash out.

Steffy: In the alley?

Bartender: Yeah, I don’t know what he’s doing back there, but…

Steffy: Thank you.

Bartender: Sure. Yeah.

Sheila: You can’t say anything, thomas. You need to keep our secret.

Thomas: Our secret? Don’t you mean your secret?

Sheila: No, this is our secret now.

Thomas: You’re the one who sabotaged brooke that night, sheila.

Sheila: Yes. So your parents could get back together.

Thomas: And so you could have a life with finn.

Sheila: And what’s so wrong with that? It’s a win-win. We both get what we want. Steffy and taylor get what they want, too.

Thomas: What you did was messed up, sheila.

Sheila: Oh, come on. You’re no saint.

Thomas: You’re right. I’m not. I’ve done some terrible things and I let my family down, and I don’t want to do that again.

Sheila: I know you don’t want to, but we both know perfectly well that’s exactly what is going to happen if you allow brooke back into your father’s life. Haven’t your parents suffered enough? And look at this– this moment that they have, and it’s right within their reach. So, where is the harm? Where is the harm in them experiencing a new beginning together? And finn, he wants me to have a bigger role in his life. And after all these years, I can start spending time with him. After all these years, thomas. We have been kept apart.

[ Sirens wailing ]

Sheila: It’s a new dawn, thomas. You think about it. You think about it very carefully, because this opportunity will never come again. This is a once in a lifetime gift. So, just go with it. Please, do– do this for me, do this for you, do this for your entire family. You be the hero.

Steffy: What the hell, thomas? If you think I’m not going to find out what’s going on, think again.

Update written by Dustin

At Crimson, Maxie noticed that Brook Lynn had brought her songbook with her and asked if Brook Lynn had been working on new material. Brook Lynn said that Chase had thought other people might want to see her songs. Maxie realized that Chase had been a huge influence on this decision. Brook Lynn said that she was glad to have Chase as a friend, but Maxie asked if Brook Lynn wanted more than just a friendship. Brook Lynn closes her eyes and recalls her kiss with Chase at the hospital. Brook Lynn managed to change the subject to an upcoming launch party that Deception had planned. Brook Lynn and Maxie started the meeting without Sasha. Shortly after, Lucy arrived to tell them that Sasha and Brando had gotten married. Lucy and Brook Lynn both felt that the marriage may have been rushed. But, Maxie said she trusted Sasha and Brando’s decision.

The three of them then discuss what type of launch party to throw. Maxie suggested they do an original song from Brook Lynn’s songbook catalog. Lucy agreed but was worried about Brook Lynn perhaps making an attempt at another lip-synced performance. Brook Lynn said she was at peace with being a songwriter and never performing as a singer. After Lucy, Maxie, and Brook Lynn pick out what they believe will be a perfect song, Brook Lynn informed them that it was a duet and asked who would sing the male part. At that exact moment, Chase knocks and enters.

Earlier at the hospital, Chase visited Finn again, and Finn disclosed to Chase that Jake had an alibi for the night of the break-in at Elizabeth’s house. Chase asked if Finn and Elizabeth had decided to rethink the pause in their relationship. Finn felt that Elizabeth was still struggling with Franco, since it had only been a year since Franco had been killed. Finn added that he wasn’t giving up on his relationship with Elizabeth without a fight. Chase wants his brother to fight for his relationship with Elizabeth. Finn took Chase’s words and turned them around on his brother’s relationship with Brook Lynn. Chase tried to imply that he and Brook Lynn had never been more than friends that had gone through a difficult time together. Finn asked Chase if Chase was really okay with staying friends with Brook Lynn. Chase says yes and that he is ready to move on with his own life.

After Chase left, Elizabeth dropped by Finn’s office and Finn started to ramble about his feelings, but Elizabeth stopped him. “Kiss me,” she said. Finn rushed to Elizabeth and kissed her.

At the Metro Court, Curtis and Portia signed the final paperwork on their new beach home in front of Lucy, who brought over mimosas for Curtis and Portia to celebrate. Lucy handed the happy couple the first set of keys to their new home. When Lucy left, Portia admitted that she still wished Trina lived with her and that she missed the two of them living under the same roof.

Epiphany confided to Marshall that she had decided to take the MCAT exam to become a doctor. Marshall was delighted and told Epiphany that Curtis and Portia weren’t the only ones who had something to celebrate. Curtis stopped by Marshall and Epiphany’s table and shared the news that Curtis and Portia had just closed on their new home. Epiphany hugged Curtis then left to extend her congratulations to Portia. Portia said that she would be happy to mentor Epiphany for her MCAT exam. Epiphany agreed to accept Portia’s help.

Sonny greeted Selina at his penthouse for an unscheduled meeting. Sonny was surprised to see Selina because everything had been going well since they agreed to their new partnership.  Sonny asks Selina to get right to the point. Selina said she wanted use of the Port Charles harbor and that Sonny would get a percentage from her due to the fact that the harbor was Sonny’s territory. Sonny said he would agree to the deal so long as Selina agreed to play by his rules. Selina agreed to all of Sonny’s demands and told him that she would make sure there would be no disruptions on her end. After Selina left, Dante arrived to talk with Sonny about Michael’s arrest. Because Michael had refused to give any details of the arrest to Sonny, Dante informed Sonny that there was a video of Josslyn with Cameron and that the video had caused an Intruder reporter to goad Michael into a punch. Sonny demanded to know the reporter’s name and where he could be found, but Dante refused to answer and told Sonny to stay out of it.

Dante was shocked that Michael hadn’t told Sonny about what had happened to Josslyn or about the tape. Dante wanted to know what had really been going on with Sonny, because Michael had refused to divulge any information about his arrest with Sonny while in jail. Sonny tried to explain that he wanted Nina to be able to visit with Wiley because she was the child’s grandmother. Dante told Sonny that things were not that simple, they just don’t work that way and reminded Sonny where Michael got his quick temper and his near refusal to forgive.

Sonny regretted that Michael was angry at him and said he hated disagreeing with Michael. Dante told Sonny that Michael didn’t like being angry at Sonny, either. Dante warned Sonny that a reconciliation couldn’t happen overnight and that Sonny would have to do most of the work. Dante asked if Sonny thought there might be a future between him and Nina. Sonny said he had made no plans with Nina, and he denied making a choice between Nina and his family. Dante tells Sonny it was going to be impossible for Sonny to have both Nina and Michael in his life.

At the hospital, Brad and Britt discussed possible job positions. Britt handed Brad a list of job options, and he quickly noticed that none of them were lab positions. Britt told Brad that because of his history that the hospital could not give him anything close to his former job. Britt offered him a compromise as a clinical patient advocate, where Brad could explain lab results to patients. Britt informed Brad that he had the job as long as it was approved by her co-chief of staff. The two hugged. Selina enters the room.  She learns of Brad’s potential new job offer and thanks Brit but says the offer will be unnecessary. After some tense moments, Brad told Selina that Britt had offered him a job at the hospital. Selina reminded Brad that she had made an understanding with him: Brad would work for her in exchange for a rent-free apartment. Selina does tell Brit that since her nephew insists on her being in his life, she would like to get to know her better and invites her to lunch. Brit says she can not go because of her duties at the hospital. Selina suggests another time. As she leaves, she informs Brit that her assistant would contact Brit about setting up a lunch date at a time which would be agreeable for both of them. Brit asked Brad if she should be worried that Selina would try to poison her when they eventually meet for lunch. Brad tells Brit not to allow Selina to take her to a second location.

Update written by Joseph

Kate goes to see Gabi in the DiMera Enterprises office. Kate mentions Will taking Arianna back to Arizona soon. Kate says she has an important meeting so she doesn’t have much time and asks Gabi what this is about. Gabi responds that it won’t take long and then tells Kate that she’s fired.

Jake goes to Ben and Ciara’s apartment to ask if Susan confirmed Johnny is possessed. They inform Jake that there was an exorcism and that Marlena and John were finally able to get rid of the Devil for good. Jake asks if they were right that the Devil was in Johnny. Ben reveals they were wrong as the Devil was in Belle.

Shawn checks on Belle at home. Belle mentions having a headache but not knowing why. Shawn asks what she remembers about last night. Belle recalls him taking her to the car and putting her to bed. Belle asks what her parents were doing there and if something happened. Shawn reveals that John performed an exorcism. Belle asks if Marlena was possessed again but Shawn says this time it wasn’t Marlena, it was Belle.

Johnny enters the living room of the DiMera Mansion and asks Chad if he has a second. Chad asks if he wants to apologize and say he knows now that Gabi was using him to get him booted from DiMera. Johnny responds that it’s not about Gabi, but about EJ. Chad asks what about him. Johnny brings up Chad seeing EJ kissing Abigail in the witness room. Johnny reveals to Chad that it turns out that wasn’t EJ.

Susan visits EJ in prison. Susan hugs him and says she misses him so much. Susan says it breaks her heart that he’s in here when he didn’t do a thing. EJ says she didn’t have to come. Susan responds that she did because she has wonderful news. Susan declares that he won’t have to stay much longer because she is here to set him free as she has a plan. EJ hopes she doesn’t plan to break him out. Susan assures her plan is legit. Susan says they are going to get his conviction overturned and blames his attorney. EJ says Belle is excellent but he failed her advice. Susan responds that Belle may be a fine lawyer, but the Devil sure isn’t.

Shawn explains to Belle that her head hurts because Johnny had to knock her out and then she was sedated and tied to a bed until John got back to remove Satan from her body. Belle questions this starting at Marlena’s exorcism and if she has been possessed since Christmas. Shawn says he had no idea but the Devil said something about keeping a low profile until he had finished his work. Shawn worries that the Devil was waiting for Ciara to give birth. Belle can’t believe that she had been plotting to steal Ciara and Ben’s baby without even knowing it.

Ben tells Jake that it turned out that Belle was the one who was possessed. Jake says it doesn’t make sense since they were convinced it was Johnny. Ben talks about Susan not feeling bad vibes from Johnny. Jake says he sure did. Jake knows Susan has been there for them, but insists that Susan is wrong on this. Jake is convinced that the Devil was in Johnny and working to tear him apart from the woman he loves.

Kate laughs at Gabi and says she can’t fire her. Gabi says she is dead serious and she just did. Gabi calls Kate a disloyal bitch and says she can’t have someone working under her, who she can’t trust. Kate says they can discuss this over lunch but Gabi tells Kate that she’s done. Gabi orders Kate to pack up her stuff and get the hell out. Kate agrees to leave but warns that if she walks out, Gabi is screwed. Gabi says she’ll be fine. Kate tells her that to be successful, Gabi needs allies and right now there is no one here that she can count on since Chad hates her, EJ is in prison, and she totally blew it with Jake. Kate tells Gabi that she is all alone. Gabi points out that she has Johnny. Kate says that Johnny ousted his uncle, blew up his sister’s engagement, and dumped his wife at their wedding reception, so she asks how long until Johnny turns on Gabi.

Chad questions Johnny telling him that it wasn’t EJ kissing Abigail, but Belle possessed by the Devil. Johnny claims Belle has been possessed since Christmas when Eric exorcised Marlena. Johnny says John did the exorcism this time and got rid of the Devil for good, but before that, Belle confessed what she did to Abigail. Chad questions why Belle would morph in to EJ so he could see him make a play for his wife. Johnny claims he asked Satan himself and he said it was to rip apart the family and turn brother against brother. Johnny knows EJ has done some bad things, including kidnapping Sami, but he did not force himself on Abigail. Johnny says he just thought Chad might want to know that.

Susan tells EJ about the Devil possessing Belle. Susan says John and Marlena are taking very good care of her now after the exorcism. EJ asks if she’s sure it was a success. Susan insists that the Devil is back in Hell where he belongs and Belle will be just fine.

Belle can’t believe she has been plotting to steal Ben and Ciara’s baby. Shawn remembers Ben and Ciara giving him an envelope with the sonogram containing the baby’s gender to hold on to so they could be surprised. Shawn points out that if the Devil was after their baby, he’d want to know what’s in the envelope. Shawn shows Belle where he had the envelope and finds that it has been opened.

Jake talks to Ben and Ciara about all these bizarre things started happening that benefitted Johnny and messed with he and Gabi. Jake brings up the meeting he supposedly had with Maggie where Gabi overheard him saying he was using her or the documents that he supposedly signed, trying to steal Gabi’s shares, or the text messages that Maggie supposedly sent him about working behind Gabi’s back. Jake asks how he and Gabi could be so happy one minute and then just done the next. Jake says when they told him that Johnny could be possessed, it all started making sense. Jake declares that it’s the only thing that makes sense as it had to be Johnny.

Susan wants EJ to argue for another trial because his attorney was possessed by the Devil. EJ argues that it would never work and would be seen as a stunt. Susan feels there has to be something that someone could do to clear his name.

Chad looks to the portrait of Stefano and says he sent EJ to prison for something he thought EJ did to Abigail but it wasn’t him. Chad then calls Kate and says he needs to see her as soon as possible. Kate walks in and says she’s right there, guessing he heard the news that Gabi fired her but Chad says he hadn’t. Kate says she would’ve quit after two more days there anyway. Chad says that Gabi and Johnny are going to run the company in to the ground and calls it a joke. Chad then tells Kate that she should sit down.

Devil Johnny returns to his bedroom and talks about how Chad must be feeling so guilty now because he told him that the person he saw kissing Abigail wasn’t EJ, but Belle. The Devil remarks that he’s already convinced half these idiots that Belle has been wreaking havoc this whole time and not Johnny, so it should be a breeze to get the rest of them to buy it too. The Devil flashes back to planting evidence to make Belle look devilish and then revealing he had the sonogram envelope and found out what Ben and Ciara were having.

Belle tells Shawn that she must have opened the envelope but swears that she does not remember doing that. Shawn understands it wasn’t her but the Devil. Shawn insists that the Devil is gone. Belle thinks he needs to go tell Ciara right now. Shawn asks if she’s sure that she’ll be alright alone. Belle says she’ll be fine. Shawn kisses her and says he’ll be back as he then exits.

Ciara agrees with Jake that all those things did benefit Johnny but Belle still could have been behind them and that Johnny might just have been in the right place at the right time to move in on Gabi and the company. Jake says she could be right but he has to know for sure. Jake declares he’s going to get to the bottom of this once and for all as he then exits. Shawn shows up to see them. Ciara asks how Belle is. Shawn says she’s fine physically but worried about what she might have done to hurt the people she loves which is why he is here. Shawn brings up the sonogram envelope and shows them that the Devil opened it. Shawn knows they want to keep it a surprise but he’s trying to keep Belle calm. Ciara agrees to keep the envelope with them. Shawn says he has to get back to Belle but he knows it will make her heart feel good to know they are okay. Ben says to let them know if he needs anything as Shawn then exits.

Jake goes to see Belle and says he’s sorry to bother her as he knows she just went through a terrible experience and he doesn’t want her to relive it but he has a personal stake in what happened which Belle questions. Jake says he’s trying to get to the bottom of something and he needs her help because if his suspicions are correct then he can help her out too.

Johnny goes to see Gabi at DiMera Enterprises and asks how her first day on the job is going. Gabi responds that she fired Kate so it’s off to an excellent start. Johnny thought they used to be friends. Gabi says that was before Jake and before Kate backstabbed her at the shareholders meeting. Gabi asks if he has a problem with it. Johnny says no as she is the boss. Gabi complains that Kate thinks she can’t do the job and is bad for the company, so if she let Kate stay, she would worry that she could turn on her at any time. Johnny remarks that she shouldn’t have to work with anyone she can’t trust. Gabi agrees which brings her to her next point as she asks Johnny if she can trust him.

Chad informs Kate that it wasn’t EJ who kissed Abigail, but that it was apparently Belle while possessed by the Devil, to turn him against EJ. Chad says it worked since he was going to testify that he planted the evidence against EJ and the Devil made him change his mind. Chad declares that he was going to set EJ free and he got played. Chad says he knew it wasn’t EJ that kidnapped Sami as he knew it was Lucas and he only helped EJ get framed so he’d lose his job but then when he heard he was going to get 10 years, he couldn’t keep quiet. Chad declares that he sure can’t keep quiet now. Kate tries to slow Chad down. Chad argues that his brother is serving a sentence for a crime he didn’t commit, so he needs to make it right.

EJ loves that Susan cares so much but assures that the Devil possession argument is a waste of time so it’s going to be awhile before he gets out. Clyde walks in to the room. EJ introduces him to his mother Susan Banks. Susan recognizes Clyde as Ben’s dad and says he is very bad. Clyde says he’s expecting a call from his lawyer so he will go and wait. EJ tells Susan that wasn’t very nice. Susan warns EJ to stay far away from Clyde. EJ responds that he can’t because Clyde is his cellmate. Susan complains that Clyde has done terrible things. EJ says that everyone in prison has but if he’s going to survive, he needs someone to have his back. Susan worries that Clyde has a secret and feels that he is hiding something from EJ. EJ flashes back to the night he was shot then tells Susan not to worry as he’ll be fine and he will take care of himself. Susan encourages that EJ will get out and back to his beautiful life. Susan hugs him and says she loves him so much. Susan then exits the prison. EJ looks back at Clyde, who is on the phone.

Chad tells Kate that he can’t let EJ stay in prison, knowing what he knows, so he has to get him out. Kate asks what he will do. Chad says he will say he planted the evidence like he was going to before, without implicating Lucas. Chad knows he’ll get charged with perjury. Kate points out that Chad will end up behind bars too. Kate knows Chad feels awful but he will feel a million times worse if he’s separated from his wife and children. Kate asks if he really thinks EJ would do the same thing if the situation was reversed. Chad says it doesn’t matter as he has to do what’s right. Chad says he has to call Melinda. Kate stops him and says she thinks there might be another way.

Jake asks Belle if it was her that morphed in to him when he supposedly met with Maggie. Belle asks when it was. Jake tells her that it was February 2nd. Belle thinks she was at the prison with EJ that day in the afternoon. Jake says the meeting with Maggie was in the morning, but if Belle could prove she was somewhere else at that time then maybe they could prove it wasn’t her that morphed in to him and that it was Johnny. Belle goes to check her calendar but finds Maggie’s phone in her purse instead. Jake brings up Maggie supposedly sent him a message after that meeting that made it look like they were conspiring behind Gabi’s back but she swears she didn’t send it. Belle cries that it looks like it was her. Jake is sorry since he knows it’s upsetting, but if this is true, she has no idea what this could mean for he and Gabi.

Johnny questions Gabi not trusting him. Gabi tells him that Kate reminded her that he’s stabbed a lot of people in the back, including his uncle, his sister, and his wife. Gabi asks how she knows he won’t do the same to her, use her to get ahead and then cut her loose. Johnny insists he would never do that. Gabi is hesitant to take his word given what he has done. Gabi asks Johnny what he really wants.

Ben and Ciara sit together with the sonogram envelope in front of them. Ben guesses he should put it away. Ciara stops him and asks if they should look at it first.

Gabi asks Johnny if he wants to be CEO of DiMera. Johnny says maybe someday but he’s going to be tied up with his movie for a long time and even if he wasn’t, Gabi is the CEO of DiMera. Gabi wonders if it’s part of a bigger plan and if he’s plotting behind her back to get rid of her so he can take over. Johnny calls her very suspicious but says he can completely understand where this is coming from since she loved Jake and he lied to her, used her, and stabbed her in the back. Johnny tells her that he’s not Jake. Gabi points out that Johnny hurt people that he supposedly cared about. Johnny argues that he turned on Chad because he wanted Gabi to have this job and he spoke up about Allie because he thought Tripp had a right to know that Allie slept with his wife. Johnny adds that he and Chanel would have never lasted as Chanel wants his sister and always has. Gabi questions why he married her if he knew that. Johnny blames it on being in Italy and getting swept up in the moment. Johnny declares that when they got home, he realized Chanel is not the woman for him and that Gabi is.

Jake swears to Belle that he did not sign the petition to steal Gabi’s shares. Belle says she keeps a copy of all legal documents on her laptop so she goes to it to take a look. Belle guesses she must have forged his signature on it and says she doesn’t remember doing it. Belle thinks it’s pretty clear that Johnny wasn’t the one causing all the problems for he and Gabi, it was her. Jake understands it wasn’t her fault and says now he can go to Gabi and prove to her that he didn’t betray her. Belle is glad she could help. Jake knows this wasn’t easy for her and he’s really grateful. Jake hopes she feels better and says he’ll take Maggie’s phone back to her. Belle says to tell her that she’s so sorry. Jake calls Belle one of the good ones and says she has nothing to be sorry about as he exits.

Clyde jokes with EJ about his mom not being what he expected. EJ admits she’s eccentric but loves him very much. Clyde points out that Susan doesn’t think much of him though. EJ says Susan is just protective of Ben and Ciara. Clyde admits he wasn’t much of a dad to Ben growing up, but they worked things out and he knows he has nothing to fear from him. Clyde adds that EJ doesn’t either despite what Susan says. Clyde tells EJ that he’s in a very good mood because he may be getting out of here sooner than anyone expects.

Ben and Ciara ask each other if they want to look at the sonogram. Ben guesses he should put it away somewhere where they won’t be so tempted but he has no idea where. Ben says he will figure it out and kisses her until Susan shows up at their door. Susan says she came to say farewell since the Devil is gone and their baby is safe, so her work here is done and she can’t wait to get back to Roger in Memphis. Ciara thanks Susan for everything as they hug. Susan then spots the envelope on the table and exclaims that she knows what that is. Susan starts to announce what they are going to have but Ben and Ciara both stop her. Susan questions why they are yelling at her, arguing that she has used her gifts for good and she’s protected them from the Devil. Ben explains that they are not angry with her. Ciara says they wanted to stop her before she told them whether the baby was a boy or a girl. Susan gets that they want to be surprised. Susan assures that her lips are sealed from now on as she then exits. Ciara and Ben joke that they didn’t want to find out like that. Ben asks Ciara how she does want to find out. Ciara thinks she has an idea..

Shawn goes home. Belle asks if Ben and Ciara were upset about the sonogram. Shawn says not at all and they were just glad that she is okay. Belle mentions still being shaken up. Shawn asks if something happened while he was gone. Belle informs him that Jake came by because apparently Ben and Ciara aren’t the only couple she tried to cause trouble for.

Johnny tells Gabi that he doesn’t want anything but her. He says they got everything they want by working together and they can do so much more together. Johnny remarks that she’s clearly attracted to him and that she was fighting it while with Jake, but he’s out of the picture now. Johnny says he’s getting divorced so they are both single, available, and hot. Johnny thinks it’s time for them to take their relationship to the next level. Gabi asks what level that is.

Jake goes to the Kiriakis Mansion looking for Maggie but she’s not home. Jake puts Maggie’s phone down and leaves a note, writing that he found her phone and to call him to discuss. Jake then pulls out his own phone to call Gabi.

Gabi questions Johnny just thinking they are single and hot. Johnny argues that they have so much more in common than that as they are both ambitious, ruthless, passionate, and they go after what they want. Johnny tells Gabi that what he wants is her. Johnny and Gabi start kissing as Gabi’s phone rings nearby with a call from Jake.

Chad questions Kate knowing a way to clear EJ without incriminating him or Lucas. Kate says she thinks so. Chad doesn’t see how they can pull that off while keeping everyone’s hands clean. Kate says she didn’t say everyone as someone will have to take the fall, just not Chad. Chad asks who. Kate suggests pinning the crime on the Devil.

EJ questions Clyde getting out of prison. Clyde informs him that he got his hearing moved up so he may have spent his last night in prison. EJ notes that Clyde seems confident. Clyde looks forward to a fresh start, knowing he’s paid for all his crimes. EJ flashes back to the night that he was shot. Clyde asks if anything is wrong. EJ declares that it was him.

Recap written by Christine

Victor summoned Nick to Newman Media and thanked him for reaching out to Nate. Victor revealed that Nate pulled the medical records from Ashland’s heart attack and saw that there was no sign of cancer in the x-rays. Ashland never received chemotherapy at Memorial. Nick said there was a special place in hell for Ashland after manipulating Victoria like this. Victor said, since Ashland refused to do the decent thing and leave town, it was imperative that Victor and Nick show Victoria the evidence. Nick hoped Victoria booted Victoria out of her life and the company. Nick called in reinforcements, and Nikki and Adam arrived. They all talked about Ashland’s deception. Victor was glad they were all on the same page now. Adam said once he heard what Nate said, it was a no-brainer. Nick said Victoria was resistant to the idea that Ashland was lying. Nick felt that the family only had one move left, and it would take all of them to pull it off.

Nick laid out his plan. Adam liked it, but he didn’t think it’d work. Nikki was worried Victoria would never forgive them, whether the plan was successful or not. Victor said their priority had to be getting Ashland out of Victoria’s life. Adam didn’t think Victoria would trust them over Ashland. Adam added that Ashland already signed the contract making him co-CEO, so this could be too little, too late. Nick snapped that he didn’t care about the company; he only cared about his sister, and he thought Adam should feel the same way. “Well, of course, but…,” Adam started saying. Nick interrupted and said that if Ashland’s plan was to get control of Newman Locke, Victoria could just be an obstacle that he wanted to get rid of by any means necessary.

Horrified, Nikki asked if Nick actually thought Ashland would eliminate Victoria. Nick didn’t want to believe Ashland was capable of something like that, but they couldn’t take anything for granted. Adam said that Ashland left his best friend to die and stole his identity. Adam doubted the story that there was nothing Bobby DeFranco could’ve done that night to save the real Ashland Locke. Victor was adamant that he wouldn’t let Ashland harm one hair on Victoria’s head. Nikki said Victoria would need them when this was all over. Victor said they’d all be there. Nick asked if Adam and Nikki were in. They were both fully on board.

Victoria went to work, and Ashland was already there. She kissed him hello. He said he was surprised when he came downstairs this morning and she wasn’t home. She said she had some errands to run. He added that he’d felt her tossing and turning in bed all night. “Heavy is the head that wears the crown,” she replied. He said they were partners, so whatever was bothering her was bothering him. She said she was furious with her father for setting this in motion. She was concerned word would get out that he supposedly faked his cancer. He had a plan to make sure that didn’t happen.

Ashland proposed he and Victoria go to the Palazzo in Tuscany, then go to Milan to spend a couple weeks with Harrison. She wasn’t sure about doing that now. He thought it was the perfect time – it would give him a distraction-free environment to investigate these claims against him. She didn’t want anyone to think they were in hiding or running. He was wondering if her father planted more doubt in her mind than she was willing to admit. “You swore to me that none of that was true. So I’m sure you know how I would react if I learned that you lied to me again,” Victoria replied. He knew their marriage wouldn’t survive that. She said he’d have to be both foolish and desperate to think he could keep her in the dark about that, and they’d be able to move past it. He took great pride in being neither of those things. Victoria said Ashland was brilliant and he knew her very well, so he knew she had a great capacity for forgiveness, but there were some lines that couldn’t be crossed. He sensed she thought he was about to break down and make a confession. She told him that if he needed to confess, now was the time.

Ashland had something earth-shattering to confess – he loved Victoria more than anything in his entire life, and he wanted to spend the rest of his life making her happy. He saw in her eyes that she was torn between his love for her and her fidelity to her family. She was so sorry. He said she had nothing to apologize for. He knew her family was pressuring her. He thought the best way for her to shut out the family’s constant interference was to go away together. He said they needed time to focus, and he couldn’t think of a better place than Tuscany, where he first pledged his love and life to her, and she’d said “love transcends all.” She remembered that well. He wanted to go today. Nikki burst in crying and saying she needed to talk to Victoria alone about a private matter.

Nikki told Ashland she’d appreciate it if he gave them some space. Victoria felt her mother was being rude and dismissive. She said she and Ashland were partners, just like Nikki and Victor, so anything Nikki had to say could be said to both of them. “Victoria, if you think you I think I share everything with your father, you are sorely mistaken,” Nikki stated. She said that she needed a moment with her daughter. Ashland said that if Victoria wanted him to stay, he was going to stay. Nikki decided to stop being polite, and she ordered Ashland to leave. Ashland told Nikki that she was disrespecting Victoria and him. He knew why she wanted him to leave. Nikki told Ashland that not everything was about him. Nikki cried that this was a private family matter. Nikki lied and said she and Victor had a terrible fight. Threats were made, and Nikki and Victor said things that they couldn’t take back. Nikki didn’t know where else to turn. Victoria was so sorry. She told Ashland that she needed to talk to her mom alone. He asked if she was sure. Victoria said it would only take a few minutes – her mother was the strongest woman she knew, and she wanted to be there for her. Ashland loved that Victoria’s first instinct was to help Nikki, even though Nikki caused her so much consternation. Ashland wished Nikki the best and said she was fortunate to have such a loving and caring daughter. Nikki said thanks and turned away. While no one could see her, she texted Nick.

Meanwhile, at Newman Media, Nick bristled at Adam’s contention that they needed a fallback plan in case this one failed. Nick sensed Adam already had something in mind. Adam said he floated an idea yesterday, but Victor shot it down. Adam asked if the board could nullify Ashland’s contract, and Victoria’s. Victor said the merger made that difficult. Adam didn’t think it was impossible. Victor made it clear that they would not fire Victoria under any circumstances. Nick said there was no basis for firing Victoria. Adam didn’t agree – he thought it was incompetent for Victoria to let the proverbial fox into the hen house. Nick refused to let Adam make a play for Victoria’s job. Adam thought they could all agree that Victoria made a colossal error, but he said it didn’t mean he was coming for the CEO job. Nick thought Adam’s history proved otherwise. Adam said he had a vested interest in the company because he actually worked here, unlike Nick, and they couldn’t pause work because of a family crisis – someone had to keep their eye on the ball. Victor told his sons to stop arguing. He said they’d deal with any damage that may have been done to the company later – their sister was the priority right now.

Lauren walked into the office, and Adam said it was a private meeting. Lauren refused to leave. She asked if Victor heard anything from Michael. He said he got a package from Michael yesterday. Lauren said that could’ve been mailed days ago. She knew he had people searching for Michael. He asked where she heard that, and she said it didn’t matter. She thought that Victor should’ve shared that with her. She wanted to know everything. He admitted he lost contact with Michael. She was glad she’d gone to Kevin for help. She filed a missing person’s report with the GCPD, and they’d contacted the Peruvian authorities. He told her to forget about the police. He had his best people on this. He said to trust him. “Like Michael did?,” she shot back. Lauren might have trusted Victor if he’d told her all this up front. He said he didn’t want to alarm her. He’d thought they would’ve found Michael more quickly than this. Lauren noted that Victor didn’t say anything after Michael wasn’t found. She didn’t even know why Michael was in South America. She assumed that Nick and Adam knew more about this than she did.

Nick and Adam offered some platitudes about Michael, which only frustrated Lauren because she wanted someone to just tell her what was going on. Vitor said he wanted to keep this private, and he couldn’t tell Lauren what was going on. He was sorry what should’ve been a routine trip turned dangerous, but he promised he’d remedy the situation. Nick got a text from Nikki saying “Now. Quickly.” Nick said he and Adam had to go deal with that situation. Victor said he’d join them shortly. They left. Lauren asked if that had something to do with Michael. Victor said it did, in a way. He said Michael was on an important mission. He promised to do everything in his power to bring Michael back safely.

Back at Newman Locke, Victoria was gentle with Nikki. Despite what Nikki said earlier, Victoria found it hard to believe that this fight with Victor wasn’t about Ashland. Victoria hoped Nikki told Victor that he needed to stop making these accusations toward Ashland. Nikki said there was no doubt in her mind that Victor was right to investigate Ashland. Victoria was furious when she realized Nikki lied and there was no fight. Nikki grabbed Victoria by the shoulders and said Ashland had been using her. Nick, Adam and Victor walked in. Nick said they weren’t leaving until Victoria had seen all the evidence.

Nate and Elena were at Crimson Lights. She wanted to split a pastry, but he didn’t have an appetite. He was feeling conflicted. He’d never violated someone’s medical privacy before. Not only did he access the records of someone who was never his patient, but he shared that information with a third party. Elena asked if Nate regretted what he’d done. He said he’d do the same thing all over again, but he couldn’t stop thinking about what would happen to him. Nate was worried Ashland would ruin his reputation. Elena thought Ashland had bigger fish to fry. She said if Ashland tried to come for Nate, he’d have to expose his own deception. She thought that people would be on Nate’s side if his role in this came out. Elena said Ashland used Nate. Nate couldn’t believe he wasn’t a better judge of character. Elena noted that she’d been taken in by Ashland too. She said Ashland was shameless, and someone should make him pay. “If I hadn’t taken an oath to do no harm, he would be right at the top of my to-do list,” Elena said. Nate smiled and thanked Elena for being outraged on his behalf. Nate was mad at himself for being duped by Ashland. He couldn’t believe he’d been Ashland’s best man. Elena said Ashland even fooled Victoria, who spent nearly every hour of the day with him. Nate wondered how he let Ashland have so much influence over him. Ashland got Nate thinking about changing his entire career path. Nate almost began to work for a man who had no qualms about manipulating him.

Lily and Devon walked in and overheard Nate lamenting that his career plans were up in the air, and he didn’t know what he was going to do. Lily and Devon noted that they both offered Nate jobs at their companies, and he’d turned them down to work with Ashland. Lily asked what happened. Nate and Elena kept it vague, just saying that working with Ashland wasn’t the best fit. Lily asked if this had anything to do with the concerns she raised about the family dynamics and constantly shifting alliances. Nate said that played a part in it. Lily said she and Devon had an offer for Nate. She confirmed with Devon that he was okay with this. Nae asked what was going on. Lily and Devon stressed that this conversation was top secret, then they revealed the plans to do a merger. Lily said she and Devon weren’t just focused on profit – they wanted to build something they could run together, as a family, and they wanted Nate to be part of it.

Devon said the goal was to create an empire – a dynasty they could leave behind for Moses, Mattie, Charlie, Dominic and any other future relatives. Lily asked Nate to imagine what Neil would say about all this. She said this would be their ancestors’ wildest dreams. Nate was flattered, but he didn’t know where he’d fit into this. Lily said Nate was bright, he brought a lot to the table, and they loved him. Nate had to think about it. Devon asked Elena how she felt. She loved the idea, but she thought Nate had to make up his own mind. Lily was gearing up to make another push when Nate cut her off and snapped that he applauded the enthusiasm, but he wasn’t sure this was the right move for him.

Nate apologized for blowing up. Devon sarcastically apologized for offering Nate a cool job. Lily said she and Devon shouldn’t have bombarded Nate. She asked what was going on with him. Nate said he just made a bad judgment call, and he needed time to regroup. Devon asked if Nate wanted to go for a run to clear his head. Lily offered support too, and Elena said they were all here for Nate. Nate just had to take care of some things. Lily said the offer didn’t expire. Nate said thanks, and he left. Devon and Lily asked what was going on. It wasn’t Elena’s place to say. She just assured Devon and Lily that their cousin was going to be okay. She loved that they invited him into the legacy they were creating, because he’d need something to latch onto.

Update written by Joseph

Chad questions Will and Sonny how they plan to get a guy to come on to Leo. Sonny explains that it would have to be someone who Leo has already come on to, who wouldn’t have to sell himself. Chad questions why they are looking at him like that and what they want him to do. Will and Sonny want Chad to make Leo’s wildest dreams come true, by going to bed with him. Chad suggests a plan B of shooting Leo in the town square because spending the rest of his life in prison would be vastly better than what they are offering. Will argues that Chad was in a bed with Leo in Phoenix. Chad would rather wake up with a tarantula than wake up with Leo. Sonny thought Chad wanted to help them. Chad screams that was before he realized they were out of their minds.

Craig questions Leo wanting him to go after Kayla’s job. Leo encourages that he’d be great at it. Craig points out that Kayla is too. Leo reminds Craig that he could lose his job in New York because of Nancy’s big mouth. Craig warns Leo that they will not trash Nancy. Leo argues that Nancy is trying to get him fired. Craig understands that she is in a lot of pain. Leo thinks Nancy is overreacting horribly to this turn of events. Craig mocks the idea of that bothering him. Leo apologizes for starting a fight and says he’d be happy to spend the rest of his life alone with him on a deserted island but he knows Craig’s work is part of who he is, as he’s a healer. Craig argues that he can be a healer without taking Kayla’s job. Leo says Kayla would be losing her job on her own if she refuses to fire Marlena. Leo tells Craig that he can’t fight fate.

At the hospital, Kayla argues on the phone that Marlena is recovered and fully competent. Kayla tells Mr. Hartley that they can talk about this in the morning and warns that she does not take well to threats. Abigail arrives and asks if Kayla is alright as she heard her talking about Marlena. Kayla reveals that the board is trying to get Marlena fired.

As John prepares Belle’s exorcism, Marlena questions him wanting her to leave. John says she has to and tells her to go stay downstairs with Johnny until this is all over. Marlena argues that Belle is her daughter so she’s not leaving her at a time like this. John points out that they now know that when Eric performed the exorcism, the Devil took over Belle because she was in the room. John argues that the Devil has come after Marlena twice so he doesn’t want to give him a third chance. John declares that the only way to make sure the Devil is gone is if no one else is in the room. Marlena asks what if the Devil decides to make John his next host.

Devil Johnny calls Shawn to ask him to come over right away because something has happened to Belle. Johnny tells him to get there as fast as he can and he’ll see him soon. The Devil hangs up and declares that Shawn is going to get him in to that room because he can’t have them figure out that Belle isn’t the problem and Johnny is.

Sonny tells Chad that they understand his reservations. Chad argues that’s not strong enough for how he feels. Will doesn’t think Chad wants to do it. Chad brings up their rants about Leo and now they want him to make Leo’s dreams come true. Chad adds that he barely knows Craig. Sonny says they can talk about what this actually entails. Chad doesn’t want details. Sonny and Will clarify that they just mean going to bed with him, but his virtue is safe with them.

Leo apologizes to Craig as he sees that he’s been unfair to Nancy and he sees that he would react badly too if he ever lost him. Craig doesn’t think they need to worry about that. Leo says he’s not religious but he is spiritual and believes everything happens for a reason. Leo talks about Nancy trying to sabotage his career in New York while the Devil sent University Hospital in to a tail spine as if a higher power needs him to be the new chief of staff. Leo encourages that this could be the start of a whole new life for them.

John tells Marlena that if he’s performing the exorcism, he’s going to have God’s protection. Marlena asks if he’s sure since he’s not even a priest and technically never was. John assures that he believes in what he’s doing. Marlena repeats that Belle is her daughter too and that love is the only thing to defeat the Devil. Marlena insists that together they are stronger so she’s not leaving.

Shawn enters the DiMera Mansion and asks Johnny where Belle is and why he couldn’t tell him on the phone. Johnny responds that there’s no good way to say this but Belle is possessed.

Chad tells Will and Sonny that he’s not doing it and asks if it would ever occur to them that maybe Leo and Craig should be together and maybe Leo does love him. Will argues that Leo’s not capable of love because he doesn’t have a heart. Sonny reminds Chad that Leo is a narcissist. Will is surprised Leo settled for Craig since Craig is well off but not by Leo’s standards and he’s good looking but old enough to be Leo’s father. Will argues that what Leo really likes are young men with lots of family money. Will says with Chad’s looks and DiMera money, Leo would be in his hands. Chad says he’s not saying he couldn’t do it, but that he won’t. Sonny assures that Chad won’t have to do anything as the minute they are in bed, they will send Craig in. Chad questions having an audience. Sonny explains that Craig needs to know the truth and one picture is worth a thousand words. Chad argues that it’s not his responsibility. Chad shouts that Craig’s bad boyfriend is not his problem so there’s no reason that he should do this for him. Will clarifies that he’s not asking Chad to do it for Craig, but for Sonny.

Leo tells Craig that when he’s the new chief of staff, he could put him in charge of HR and be his right hand man. Craig argues that Leo doesn’t know how grueling the job can be since chief of staff gets blamed for everything and thanked for nothing. Craig talks about the pressure. Leo thought he loved the job. Craig says he does certain aspects. Leo encourages that Craig could help people here and Salem needs help. Craig argues that taking someone else’s job is not helping people and the last time he did it, he ended up with psycho nurses and Seth Burns. Craig says when he found out that Chloe was his daughter and then Joy was born, he realized he didn’t want to be a money grubbing, social climbing weasel. Leo insists that he wouldn’t be. Craig questions why Leo is pushing this and if he wants him to be a money grubbing, social climbing weasel. Craig asks if he was wrong about Leo wanting to change.

Abigail asks Kayla about Sarah. Kayla says they are waiting for her test results to come back before they can plan the next step. Abigail guesses she’s not allowed visitors. Kayla confirms she’s pretty fragile and extremely angry about being hospitalized against her will. Kayla is afraid Sarah will see Abigail as a stranger or an enemy. Abigail understands but just hoped to ease her conscience. Kayla asks how Sarah would have anything to do with that. Abigail explains that if she hadn’t gone after Gwen with the syringe and left it there, Kristen wouldn’t have been able to use it on Sarah and none of this would have ever happened.

Shawn argues to Johnny that he knows what Susan said but insists he would have sensed it. Johnny says he’s sorry but he saw her himself and he’s not the only one. Johnny informs Shawn that Belle attacked Marlena and had the glowing eyes and the voice like they saw at the exorcism. Johnny adds that he had to hit Belle over the head to stop her because he thinks she would have killed Marlena if he hadn’t. Shawn asks where she is. Johnny informs him that she’s upstairs with John and Marlena for an exorcism but John said that he didn’t want anyone else up there. Johnny says he thought Shawn should know and he feels terrible. Shawn responds that he should because this is all Johnny’s fault.

Belle starts to wake up. John and Marlena tell her that they are there. Belle calls out Johnny’s name which Marlena questions.

Will tells Sonny that he’s sorry but he had to, as he then tells Chad about how long it took Sonny to get over what Leo did to him. Will says Sonny got over it but now found out Leo is doing it to someone else and he can’t sleep as it’s eating him up inside. Sonny gets teary-eyed and says he’ll admit it’s true. Sonny brings up Leo saying “nice try bitches” when they tried to talk to Craig. Sonny feels that Leo liked that they were trying to stop him because he’s watching Leo do what he did to him to another man. Sonny declares that he has to stop him. Chad says this doesn’t sound like it’s about Craig at all but about revenge. Chad asks why they didn’t just say that. Sonny asks if Chad is in then. Chad responds that he’s a DiMera and they invented revenge. Chad warns Sonny that he will owe him and he doesn’t even know if it will work since Leo knows he’s straight and married. Will says that is where Abigail comes in…

Kayla asks if Abigail really thinks Sarah is here because she didn’t get rid of the syringe. Kayla reminds her that Kristen kidnapped Sarah to save herself. Kayla tells Abigail that she can’t feel guilty about this. Abigail repeats that she got the drug from Dr. Rolf. Kayla understands because Gwen poisoned her and humiliated her father and it was to get her to tell the truth. Kayla reminds Abigail that she couldn’t do it because she’s a good person. Abigail points out that Gabi stopped her. Kayla declares that the day that Kristen atones for her sins is the day that she can feel guilty about this. Kayla adds that thanks to Abigail, they have some idea of what’s in the syringe which will help Sarah. Kayla assures Abigail that this is not her fault.

Leo assures Craig that he has changed since meeting him, but this isn’t about him, it’s about Craig, his career and the people in town. Leo talks about the terror Kayla unleashed on the town by looking the other way when the Devil was around. Craig doesn’t think Kayla can be blamed for not knowing Marlena was possessed when she’s not the only one who was tricked. Leo responds that there is so much more he doesn’t know.

Johnny asks Shawn how this is his fault. Shawn blames Johnny’s movie and says the Devil would have never come back if he hadn’t dared it to. Shawn apologizes and says this is what the Devil wants, to turn them against each other. Shawn says he’s just angry at himself since Susan warned him and he didn’t want to listen. Johnny calls it hard to believe. Shawn says they have to believe they can get rid of the Devil. Shawn declares he has to see Belle, so Johnny directs him upstairs. Johnny then follows Shawn up.

Belle calls Johnny’s name again. Marlena confirms that he was there and says they are all here for her. Belle repeats that “it’s him” which John questions. Shawn bursts in to the room with Johnny. John questions what he’s doing there. Johnny argues that Shawn had a right to know, so he called him. John reminds him that he wanted no one else in the room. John explains to Shawn that they are doing an exorcism and they need to make sure that if it works, the Devil doesn’t just take over another person in the room. Shawn argues that he’s not just another person, he’s her husband. Shawn tells Belle that he’s there and wants her to say something. The Devil then possesses Belle again and tells Shawn to stop calling her Belle.

Kayla tells Abigail that she’s sorry if she’s overstating her case. Abigail understands she’s trying to make her feel better and she did. Abigail brings up hearing Kayla talk about Marlena’s job and offers to write an editorial for the paper but Kayla worries that would just enflame things. Kayla hopes things will just blow over but admits that Seth Burns told her that her job was on the line. Kayla remarks that with the way she feels right now, if someone wanted her job, they could have it.

Leo tells Craig that University Hospital has fallen since he left so it’s his duty to take over as chief of staff because they need him.

Kayla tells Abigail that she has to get back to work and she’ll keep her posted on Sarah. Abigail thanks her for listening as they hug. Kayla walks away and then Abigail gets a call from Chad. Abigail says she’s on her way home. Chad informs her that he’s at the Kiriakis Mansion with Will and Sonny. Chad asks her to meet them there. Abigail asks what’s going on. Chad calls it complicated and says he will fill her in when she gets there.

Shawn asks how long Belle has been like this. Marlena says it’s been since the exorcism. Shawn argues that he would’ve known. The Devil says he was incognito so he wouldn’t interfere with his work which they question. The Devil reveals that he turned himself in to EJ at the courthouse and stuck his tongue down Abigail’s throat. Johnny argues that he knew EJ wouldn’t do something so stupid and asks why the Devil turned Chad against EJ. Marlena says it was to destroy love, tear a family apart, and turn brother against brother. The Devil remarks that Marlena knows him so well. Johnny goes after the Devil and starts choking Belle while John and Shawn pull him off, shouting that it’s not Belle.

After Chad, Sonny, and Will fill Abigail in on their plan, she tells them that she didn’t expect to have all three of them asking her to sign off on her husband getting in bed with another man. Chad calls it extreme. Abigail asks if he’s okay with this. Chad clarifies that he does not want to do this, but Leo’s done bad stuff and is set on doing more. Abigail guesses this is a far better thing to do. Chad tells Abigail that it’s her call. Abigail guesses she’d still be stuck on the island if it wasn’t for Chad so she asks where to start. Chad suggests starting ASAP so he can get it over with. Will then calls the Salem Inn and asks for Craig’s room. Will is informed that Craig and Leo are out for the evening, so he hangs up. Chad declares that they have to come home sometime and when they do, he and Abigail will be waiting for them.

Leo asks Craig what’s left for him in New York since Parker and Joy are in school while he and Chloe are here. Craig points out that Leo is not the most popular person in Salem. Leo says it doesn’t matter if he’s liked as long as he’s loved. Craig guesses it would be nice to live closer to Chloe and if they are going to get rid of Kayla anyway, he could put his hat in the ring. Leo says that’s unless someone on the board remembers what he did and they could put his hat in the ring for him. Craig wonders where Seth Burns is.

Shawn and John pull Johnny off of Devil Belle. Johnny apologizes. Marlena insists it wasn’t Belle, it was the Devil. John says this is why he didn’t want anyone else in this room. Shawn declares that he’s staying because Belle is his wife. Marlena believes the more people in the room that love Belle, the better. John disagrees because if there are people in the room, they will never know for sure if the Devil is really gone. Johnny declares that he just got an idea.

Will wonders if Leo will take the bait. Sonny says there’s not much they can do until Chad and Abigail set the stage. Sonny guesses they are done with their workout. Will says not necessarily as he kisses him.

Chad and Abigail talk in the town square. Chad jokes that they are finally all alone and they are doing this. Abigail points out it was not her idea. Chad sees Leo coming so he and Abigail stage an argument which Leo stops to listen in on and hears Abigail claim that Chad hasn’t touched her in months and only lights up when he talks about his time in Arizona with Will, Sonny, and Leo.

Craig goes to the hospital and says it’s been a long time as he tries to figure out where Seth Burns’ office is. Kayla spots Craig and asks what he’s doing here.

Johnny explains that he’s been doing research for his movie and asks about the medal that Gabe gave John and how it’s supposed to give him power over the Devil to drive him away. Johnny suggests if Marlena and Shawn hold onto it while John performs the exorcism, then they will be protected too. John supposes too. Marlena credits Johnny’s thinking there. Johnny wishes he thought of that last time. Shawn agrees to it. Johnny says he’s the one person they don’t need in the room then so he’ll be right outside. Marlena thanks Johnny. Johnny prays that it works as he exits the room. John, Shawn, and Marlena put their hands together over the medal as John tosses holy water on Belle. Marlena notes it strange that Belle had no reaction. Devil Johnny stands outside the room and uses his power to cause the bed to shake. John prays the Our Father over Belle.

Will suggests he and Sonny take this upstairs. Sonny feels kind of guilty being alone with him here while Chad and Abigail are stuck with Leo, but they continue kissing.

Leo walks by so Chad and Abigail see him. Chad tells Leo that they were just talking about him and didn’t know he was back in Salem. Leo responds that he has a new Salem boyfriend. Chad introduces Leo to Abigail. Abigail calls Leo famous because Chad never stops talking about him, so he obviously made quite an impression. Chad says he wouldn’t go that far. Abigail says she would. Leo tells Chad that it was nice to see him again and heads in to the Salem Inn while Chad and Abigail laugh about their plan.

Craig questions Kayla working a graveyard shift while chief of staff. Kayla asks if she can help him with something. Craig explains that he and Leo were kicking around the idea of staying in Salem, so he wanted to find out if Kayla had any positions available on staff. Kayla doesn’t think she has any positions available for someone of his expertise. Craig claims he’d be perfectly happy starting at the bottom.

Devil Johnny keeps his hand on the bedroom door as John continues trying to exorcise Belle with Shawn and Marlena. Devil Johnny removes his hand from the door and the bed stops shaking. Belle then wakes up and calls out to Shawn, Marlena, and John, asking what happened and where she is. Marlena informs him that she’s in Johnny’s bedroom at the DiMera Mansion. Belle recalls being downstairs with Johnny and something happened. Marlena encourages that she was sick but now she’s healed. Belle tells Shawn that she loves him. Marlena declares “thank God, the Devil is gone forever”. Shawn kisses Belle. Devil Johnny remains outside the room with a smile.

Update written by Dustin

Diane phones Carly, she tells her she is at the Port Charles Police Department and that Michael has been arrested for assaulting a reporter making disrespectful comments about Josslyn. Jordan enters the holding room and tells Michael he will be transferred to his holding cell soon.  Michael asks Jordan if she is doing anything to find out who leaked the video of Josslyn and Cameron. Jordan says that Michael is well aware of department policy and that she can’t comment on an impending investigation. Diane points out that by saying that she just admitted that there is an investigation.  Carly arrives and asks Diane what is going on.  Diane tells her that Michael will be spending the night in lockup if she can’t work her magic.  Diane then leaves to try to work something out with the District Attorney’s office.

Sonny sees Shawn at the Metro Court and Shawn asks him if it is true that he hired Alexis. Shawn tells him that it is true and that he is expanding his media interests. He informs Sonny that he is moving to San Francisco.  Sonny tells him to enjoy the fresh start, not everyone gets one. Shawn tells Sonny that he was sorry to hear about the divorce.

Smoltz goes to Alexis and says he has a story she will definitely want to be the first to print. However, he has barely gotten out the explanation of the article when Carly walks in and tells Alexis she should think twice about running that article. Carly tells Smoltz she will sue him for every dime he will ever make if he runs that story.  Alexis asks to speak to Carly in private. Carly asks Alexis if she is seriously thinking about running the story and Alexis says yes. Carly looks shocked but then Alexis explains her line of thinking. Alexis says that if she runs the story first, she can frame the narrative and be more sensitive to the story than another publication would be. Alexis says she doesn’t even have to mention Josslyn or Cameron’s name if they don’t want her to. However, she thinks this is the perfect way for Josslyn and Cameron to be able to speak out in public for the first time and really explain to the public what this invasion of privacy has been like and the damage that has been done to their college careers and their reputations. Alexis agrees that if Josslyn and Cameron want her to table the story she will, but she feels that would be a huge mistake.  Carly agrees to call Josslyn and ask how she wants to proceed.

Nina says she forgot Harmony ever went by the name Lorraine Miller after Phyllis mentions it.  Harmony and Phyllis used to work in the same clinic although not in close proximity to each other. After Harmony’s abrupt exit from the bar, Nina admits to Phyllis that she had invited Harmony to talk about suing for visitation rights with Wiley. Nina begs Phyllis to try to convince Harmony to join her in the lawsuit. Phyllis says that she doesn’t feel comfortable getting involved in a child custody lawsuit.  She does, however, make a compromise.  She tells Nina that she will speak to Harmony and tell her about the good, kind, decent Nina that she knows and then Harmony will be free to make her own decision on the matter.  Nina is thrilled, she hugs Phyllis and then heads outside where she sits down on the bench out front and lovingly reviews photos of Wiley on her mobile phone.

T.J. finds Willow passed out on the floor of a patient room.  T.J. asks her if she remembers anything and when she says she doesn’t. T.J. asks if there is anyone he can call and Willow asks him to call Harmony.  T.J. takes Willow downstairs to Epiphany to be checked out.

Harmony arrives at GH and asks Epiphany to please move Harmony up on the list to be seen by a doctor. Epiphany ends up treating Willow herself because the hospital is so busy, but then she is dressed down by Dr. Nelson for going outside of the chain of command. When Epiphany returns to Willow’s room, she confides in Willow that she is sick of doctors not trusting her judgment when most of them haven’t been doctors that long at all and Epiphany has been a nurse all her life.  Willow says Epiphany needs a job that gives her more of a say in the care of a patient.  Epiphany is later seen reviewing upcoming dates for the MCAT on her computer screen.

Back at the Port Charles Police Department, Sonny arrives and asks Michael how he managed to get arrested. After first telling him that the situation doesn’t concern him. Michael eventually explains that he punched a reporter pressing him for comments regarding the video of Josslyn and Cameron.  Sonny is completely unaware of the video and asks Michael to bring him up to date.  Michael says that it is not his place to bring Sonny up to date and that he seriously doubts Josslyn would even want him to do that. Michael tells Sonny that he is not part of Josslyn’s family anymore. Sonny says that Josslyn will always be his daughter whether or not he and Carly are together.  Sonny and Michael get into a shouting match over how Sonny and Carly’s marriage came to an end and Michael’s belief that Sonny broke apart their family.  Sonny says he is sorry for causing Michael any pain and that he hopes someday he will understand. Sonny is visibly shaken as he leaves the P.C.P.D.  It is obvious the divorce and the family breakdown (particularly the separation from his kids) is really beginning to get to him.

Young & The Restless Update

Recap written by Christine

At the condo, Billy recorded his podcast. He thought that sometimes you held onto something so desperately that you drained the joy out of the thing you wanted the most. He believed that he’d found something to help. By closing his eyes and simply breathing, he was able to allow the thing he wanted most in his life to arrive. He touted meditation and said it helped him get into a mindset to do the podcast. He vowed to put it all out there and enjoy the ride. He said his amazing sister gave him the idea for this new approach, and she was right, as always. He was just beginning to dabble in meditation, but so far, so good. He said he’d had a blessed life, but he’d also struggled. He hoped that this could help one person, or better yet, they could collectively help each other.

Billy promised his audience the good, the bad and everything in between. He thought he’d start with a story about a little girl whose death changed everything forever. It changed his life, and it was a cautionary tale that got worse before it got better. He wasn’t sure he’d ever fully heal, and he wasn’t sure he’d want to, because he didn’t want to lose the memory of his daughter. He said Delia’s memory hadn’t been serving him the way it should. He said he had to love, honor and celebrate her without letting the grief and pain drive him. The story’s end wasn’t happy, because Delia was gone, but it was filled with beautiful memories. Even with the pain, he was grateful and lucky to know Delia, even if their time together was short. Billy built walls of hatred around his heart when he lost his daughter. The walls were aimed at the person who caused Delia’s death. Now he realized that was a way of avoiding his loss and his guilt. When the guilt erupted, he acted out in scary, troubling ways. At one point, his mind actually splintered. He was lucky enough to have the love of a good friend and therapy that helped him put his life back together. Eventually, something amazing happened, and it saved him – love.

Jack and Phyllis were back at her hotel after their trip to LA. She wanted to do a deeper dive into the person behind the texts. He couldn’t focus on that right now. He said he couldn’t have gotten through this trip without her. She wished she’d gotten the chance to know Allie a little better. Jack was still hopeful.

Later, Jack came home and brought Keemo’s belongings inside. He poured a drink and looked at Allie’s photo. He received another text. “You left too soon. You should’ve given her more time,” it said. He replied asking the texter to identify themselves. Traci came downstairs. Jack had some stuff to tell the whole family, but he wanted to run it by Traci first.

Jack read the letters from Keemo to Traci, and it moved her to tears. She wished she’d been there when he found them. He said Phyllis had been there, and she’d been strong and a good friend. He wished he’d reached out to Keemo one last time. Traci didn’t want Jack to blame himself. She said a relationship was a two way street. His brain knew that, but his heart hurt. His emotions were all over the place. She thought that was understandable. She said his mind was trying to make sense of something nonsensical. He wondered how she always knew the right thing to say. Traci was shocked and delighted to hear that she had a great niece, and Jack had a granddaughter. She was eager for the details. He showed her a photo of Allie. Traci asked if Allie was sending him the texts. Jack said that Keemo never told Allie about him. Traci wanted to meet the new Abbott. Jack wanted it to happen, but he said it wouldn’t be right away.

Jack stated that Allie proposed getting together for coffee the next time they were in LA. He didn’t think much would come of it though, since Allie’s first instinct had been to run for the hills and forget they ever met. He said Allie was just as shocked by his existence as he was by hers, and he wouldn’t blame her if she wanted to forget they ever met. He didn’t blame Allie if she decided not to know him. Traci found the whole situation heartbreaking. Jack wasn’t giving up on Allie. He was convinced that he could bond with his granddaughter. He said he had to find some way to let her know the Abbott’s door was always open to her.

Traci didn’t want Jack to set himself up to be disappointed. He told her not to worry – he was aware this might not work out, but maybe it could. He saw Allie was bright and resourceful, and she needed family. Traci asked about Allie’s mother. Jack said the mother/daughter relationship was rocky. When he looked at Allie, he saw someone alone, afraid and sad. Traci know Allie wasn’t the only one who was sad. She admired the way Jack handled this. Traci admitted she’d had reservations about the trip, but she was glad he went and found Allie, and she was also glad he was back home. Traci knew the rest of the family would want to know. Jack thought it was too late at night for a call right now. He was going to go for a drive to clear his head. Jack hugged Traci and said he loved her. He couldn’t believe his son was gone, but he was determined not to let that happen to his granddaughter.

Amanda and Phyllis were at the hotel. Phyllis said it felt great to emotionally support Jack, when he was usually doing that for her. Amanda asked if any romantic feelings surfaced in LA. Phyllis said it wasn’t like that. Phyllis said what happened with Jack in California was heavy – he dealt with the loss of his son and all the other stuff. Amanda was sorry for making light of the situation by asking if it the trip turned romantic. Phyllis said she and Jack weren’t in a romantic mindset. Amanda knew Jack appreciated Phyllis being there for him. She said Phyllis was that rare person who’d drop everything and fly across the country if someone needed them. Phyllis was happy to be there for Jack. Amanda thought Phyllis and Jack’s relationship reached a new level, even if it wasn’t romantic. Phyllis agreed.

Allie went back to Keemo’s house in LA and talked to her father’s spirit. She wept and said she couldn’t believe he was really gone. She wasn’t sure what to do without him. She was confused and she wanted a sign from Keemo. When things got rough, or she needed to talk, she always went to her dad, and now she didn’t have anyone, or at least, no one like him. She said that her mom was a million miles away, and busy with her own life. Allie knew her mother would never change. Allie said Keemo was gone, now Jack had shown up, and she wasn’t sure she could trust him. She didn’t want to disgrace Keemo’s memory by doing something he wouldn’t approve of. “If you cut him out of your life, then shouldn’t I do the same?,” she asked.

Jill video chatted with Devon, who was at the penthouse. She asked why he was throwing away the chance of a lifetime. He assumed she was talking about the idea to merge Hamilton Winters and Chancellor Industries. Jill said the companies would be unstoppable together – look what the Newman/Locke merger did for those two companies. Devon was still considering it, but first he thought Hamilton Winters and Chancellor Industries should focus on their first joint venture and see how that went. Jill thought it was a mistake to wait. She told him to think about what Katherine or Neil would do. Devon thought they’d weigh the idea carefully. Jill felt that the proposal was written in the stars. She thought Katherine would love it if Devon was involved in running Chancellor. Devon knew Neil would love it if his kids were working together. Jill added that Devon was the third parent of her great grandson. “How much more family can we get?,” she said, with a laugh.

Devon called Lily over to the house and let her know about Jill’s call. He was thinking about the merger, and he loved the idea of honoring family. He’d need to see a very detailed proposal, though. Lily already had one written up. Devon said he didn’t want the merger to cause conflict between him and Lily. He said they’d seen how business could come between relatives. Lily said she and Devon had been through so much together, since their teen years, that no corporate friction could sever their bond. She said she’d step down as CEO if it ever seemed like it’d come between her and Devon. He said that if anything went bad, he’d step down as CEO too. He was ready to do this merger and make Neil and Katherine proud. Lily was thrilled.

Lily went home and told Billy that, while a lot of work and negotiations had to happen, she thought the merger was a go. Billy shared that meditation was working out well for him. He just finished his first podcast, and it felt good. He wasn’t sure anyone would listen, but it was cathartic. She wanted to hear it. He said she featured in it. He told her he’d never tire of felling her she saved his life.

Amanda went home and got smothered in kisses from Devon. She wondered if she was that irresistible. He said yes, and he also had news. He told her about the merger. She hoped Lily didn’t push him into this. He assured her the decision was his. She said she was ecstatic, then. She knew the deal would be complicated, but potentially groundbreaking. She noted that she and Devon would be working together. He hadn’t been this happy in a really long time. He said this was going to change their lives, and Lily’s life, and their two families’ legacies would never be the same again.

Jack’s drive took him to Phyllis’s hotel. He thanked her again. She said she was happy to do it. Her kindness, friendship and loyalty meant the world to him. He got a text, and Phyllis asked what it said.

Allie was asleep on the couch when an unidentified person entered the room, casting a shadow over her. She woke up, looking frightened, but nobody was there anymore.

Traci listened to Billy’s podcast and seemed impressed.

As Billy talked about love, in a voice-over, scenes of Amanda with Devon, Billy with Lily, and Jack with Phyllis played.

Jack silently handed his phone to Phyllis, so she could see the recent conversation between him and he mystery person. As Phyllis read the texts, Billy said he was a big believer in fourth and fifth chances coming to you when you least expected it.

Texter: “You left too soon. You should have given her more time.”

Jack: “Please tell me who you are.”

Texter: “Don’t lose hope. Let me see what I can do.”

Interview with Kelly Clarkson

Posted on by TvMegasite Admin

TV Interview!

 

Kelly Clarkson of "American Song Contest" on NBC. Photo from video on etonline.com

Interview with EP and host Kelly Clarkson, EP/showrunner Audrey Morrissey, EP Ben Silverman, EP Anders Lenhoff and EP Christer Björkman of “American Song Contest” on NBC by Suzanne 3/14/22

This was a press conference for the upcoming show, “American Song Contest”. I was just one of many journalists in attendance This sounds like a fun show. It begins Monday, 3/21 on NBC! There are 54 contestants total – one from each state or territory. They compete each week until they narrow it down. You can vote online between the airing of the episode on Monday, and Wednesday. Each of the contestants are professional working musicians, not newbies or amateurs. Based on “Eurovision,” each group performs their original song. So, unlike, say, “The Voice,” they’re being judged more for their performing and songwriting talent than they are for their singing and playing.

Kelly Clarkson was very enthusiastic on Zoom. I’m told that she’s often this way. I don’t watch her show, and I haven’t seen her on anything else, so I’ll have to take their word for it. She certainly loves to talk! I can see why she has a talk show.

Along with Kelly, who’s both co-host and executive producer, were the executive producers and showrunner Audrey Morrissey.  Two of the EPs, Lenhoff and Björkman, were involved with Eurovision, the European music contest that “American Song Contest” is based on.

It was very interesting to learn about this new show, which is different from all of the other singing contests on TV, such as “American Idol,” “The Voice,” “America’s Got Talent,” etc.

The show is the brainchild of EP Ben Silverman, who’s been working for “over 25 years” to try to get the Eurovision rights to make an American version. Eurovision was “not only the first, it’s the most ambitious and unique.” He’s understandably “thrilled” to be finally putting it all together for NBC. He hopes the audience will tune it because it’s live, they have great hosts in Snoop and Kelly and “It’s filled with regional passion and state by state brilliance. And I think you are going to be amazed to see some professionals, some amateurs, all different kinds of genres of music.”

Kelly is looking forward to the world seeing the diversity they have on the show because she knows there are different types of music all over the U.S., including in her home state of Texas. She really hopes that the show helps heal the country because it’s so “divided” right now “because people have their preconceived notions of who is from where. And that’s just not true anymore, especially in such a digital age and the Internet age. We are all very similar more than not. But, also, we do represent different cultures, which is going to be cool.”

You may wonder if larger states like Texas will get more votes than the smaller ones, but Silverman explained that, just like in Eurovision, every state has equal voting power. Kelly believes that people will vote for the artists that like the best – not just the ones in their home state. Kelly had worked with Snoop Dog before on “The Voice” and proclaimed that they worked really well together. “the thing I loved most about him is that he really took his time listening and kind of taking it in, like, each performance.” So she’s very excited to be hosting with him. She pointed out that they both represent vastly different types of music as well as areas of the country.

Producer Morrissey explained that they put out the word to all of professional people they knew, in “a really vast network of A&R scouts, managers, booking agents” from other music shows like “The Voice” and “Songland.” She had to make it show that this show is not like “American Idol” or the other shows. It’s for professional musicians. “This is for the artists, the person who is committed to ‘This is what I’m doing in my life, and I’ve been grinding it and working it on the road for years. I’m kind of a known entity. A&R scouts know about me. Maybe I am about to be signed, or I already have been signed, or I’ve turned down deals because I want to go it alone.'” In the future, they hope to have a mechanism similar to Eurovision, where each state has its own contest and the winner of each contest goes to their show.

Kelly and the other producers are really excited to show us that their show will have the “really over the top costumes and production stage values that” Eurovision has. Silverman noted, “It’s unbelievable, our sets, the spectacle, the costume design, the lighting design, all of the production value.” He cited the finale as being very similar to the type they do on the original Eurovision.

They don’t think that the more famous artists like Jewel will necessarily have an edge over the lesser-known artists in the competition. Each one has to prove themselves in the competition, famous or not. It’s also a great venue for any of the artists to showcase a new song.

Monday, 3/20 I’ll be watching the show and interviewing some of the contestants afterwards, live, so stay tuned!

Christer Björkman is a living legend among Eurovision fans.

An avid fan of the competition since early childhood, he dreamed of competing as an artist in the Swedish selection show. In 1992, his dream came through. He entered and won and got to represent Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest.

However, his true legacy began in 2002 when he was appointed Contest Producer and Creative Director for “Melodifestivalen,” the Swedish selection show for the ESC. At the time, “Melodifestivalen” was a crumbling format in steep decline, but with Björkman at the helm, it quickly turned into one of the biggest TV success stories in the world of television. “Melodifestivalen” has been the biggest entertainment show in Scandinavia for almost two decades.

During Björkman’s reign, Sweden has won the ESC twice, making it the second most successful competing country in history. Björkman is also the most experienced ESC producer ever and consults for broadcasters all over Europe.

Björkman was awarded a Rose d’Or for the Eurovision Song Contest in 2016.

    Wendi Mae Davidson, former Texas veterinarian and mother of two, reported her husband, Air Force Staff Sergeant Michael Severance, missing in January 2005. Authorities searched for the father and airman who survived five tours of duty in the Middle East. But soon, a joint investigation by Texas Rangers, the Air Force Office of Special Investigations and local authorities revealed that Davidson knew far more about Severance’s whereabouts than she disclosed. A new “20/20,” in collaboration with Plum Pictures, features the first network interview with Davidson from prison, where she is serving her 25-year sentence for her husband’s murder. She speaks to ABC News chief national correspondent Matt Gutman about what she claims really happened to her husband and discusses the evidence authorities say points to her, including Severance’s toxicology report that showed that large amounts of animal tranquilizers contributed to his death. The program also contains recordings of police interrogating Davidson in the days following Severance’s disappearance and interviews with Frank Severance, Severance’s brother; Leslie Severance, Severance’s father; and other friends of Severance who discuss his troubled marriage and their feelings about Davidson. “20/20” has additional interviews with Ron Sanders, former Tom Green County Sheriff First Sergeant; Shawn Palmer, retired Texas Ranger; and Greg McCormick, former Special Agent with the Air Force OSI, all of whom worked on the investigation. Also included are interviews with Dr. Sridhar Natarajan, former chief medical examiner in Lubbock County who was involved in performing Severance’s autopsy, and Diane Fanning, author of “A Poisoned Passion,” about Severance’s murder. “20/20” airs Friday, March 25 (9:01-11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC, next day on Hulu.

    THROUGH THE ROOF – 60 MINUTES travels to a hot housing market and examines the rental madness affecting millions of Americans. With residential rents nationwide up 15% last year, nearly twice the overall inflation rate, Lesley Stahl looks at the factors behind the jump – supply and demand first among them. While millions of people need rental housing, very little rental housing has been built in the last decade. At the same time, big investment firms are buying up rental properties, most of them in “hot” Sun Belt rental markets, and in turn would-be first-time homebuyers are having to compete against Wall Street giants. The financial impossibility for many keeps people as tenants renting, which keeps rental demand high and can drive rents even higher. Rome Hartman is the producer

    “48 Hours” Investigates in “Eric Smith: Gambling on a Killer”
    (Editor’s note: This broadcast was preempted on March 19 by NCAA tournament coverage.)
    Eric Smith spent 28 years behind bars for the 1993 murder of a 4-year-old boy. He was released from prison in February. Is he a changed man? The parents of the murdered child speak with 48 HOURS and contributor Jim Axelrod in their first extensive interview since Smith was released, in “Eric Smith: Gambling on a Killer,” airing Saturday, March 26 (10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and streamed on Paramount+.
    “We never forget our boy … because he was, you know, a wonderful child,” says Doreen Robie, whose son Derrick was killed by Smith. “And we miss him terribly. … I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.”
    48 HOURS has been covering the case since 1993, when Smith was charged with killing Derrick Robie. The horrific murder drew national attention because Smith was just 13 years old and Robie just 4. Smith was tried and convicted as an adult. He was sentenced nine years to life. He was eligible for parole starting in 2002, but it wasn’t until his 11th appearance before the board that he was granted it. He told the panel he had plans for his future, even a fiancée. Smith was released in February 2022 to live in Queens, N.Y.
    Did Smith change in prison? He told CBS affiliate WENY-TV in 2009, “I can live in society and function as any other normal individual.”
    For the Robie family, however, the pain never goes away.
    “Yeah, a lot of people don’t know the full gamut of what we go through,” says Doreen Robie. “And nor should they. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.”
    What’s next for the Robies? And is it a gamble letting Smith out of prison?
    “It’s a huge gamble,” says John Tunney, who prosecuted Smith’s case. “This parole decision is a high-risk enterprise, to be sure.”
    48 HOURS: “Eric Smith: Gambling on a Killer” is produced by Judy Tygard, Lisa Freed and Chris Young Ritzen. Mead Stone is the producer-editor. Tamara Weitzman is the development producer. Kat Teurfs and Michael Loftus are the associate producers. Mike Baluzy, Greg Kaplan, Doreen Schechter and Gregory F. McLaughlin are the editors. Peter Schweitzer is the senior producer. Nancy Kramer is the executive story editor. Judy Tygard is the executive producer.
    48 HOURS is broadcast Saturdays at 10:00 PM, ET/PT on CBS, and streams anytime on Paramount+. There’s also a new way to watch 48 HOURS.

    Descriptions for the short films included in the special are the following:
    “Burrow” (2020 Academy Award Nominee) In “Burrow,” a young rabbit embarks on a journey to dig the burrow of her dreams, despite not having a clue what she’s doing. Rather than reveal to her neighbors her imperfections, she digs herself deeper and deeper into trouble. After hitting (bed)rock bottom, she learns there is no shame in asking for help.
    “Bao” (2018 Academy Award Winner) In “Bao,” an aging Chinese mom suffering from empty nest syndrome gets another chance at motherhood when one of her dumplings springs to life as a lively, giggly dumpling boy. Mom excitedly welcomes this new bundle of joy into her life, but Dumpling starts growing up fast, and Mom must come to the bittersweet revelation that nothing stays cute and small forever.
    “Lou” (2017 Academy Award Nominee) When a toy stealing bully ruins recess for a playground full of kids, only one thing stands in his way: the “Lost and Found” box. After a madcap chase through the schoolyard, the items in the box unite to teach the bully that giving back can be even more fulfilling than taking away.

Proofread by Anita

Alexis: Everything looks in order, so it should be good for an early morning release. Yeah, okay.

[ Knocking ]

Shawn: You got time?

Alexis: Uh, for you? Always.

Shawn: Good, ’cause we have a lot to talk about.

Alexis: Okay, what is it?

Shawn: Your friend Harmony and the company she keeps.

Phyllis: Nina!

Nina: Hey!

Phyllis: I wish you’d have given me a heads up. I would have cancelled my plans.

Nina: Oh, well, yeah, you’re a busy lady. So, what kind of plans do you have?

Phyllis: I’m on my way out to meet up with a friend of Lenny’s.

Nina: Oh, that’s sweet. They live in Port Charles?

Phyllis: Mnh-mnh. Just passing through. Rain check?

Nina: Definitely. And the truth is, I actually have a meeting myself. And no, it’s not with Sonny. Alright. Go have fun.

Phyllis: Okay. See you soon.

Nina: Okay.

Phyllis: It’ll be quick.

Nina: Alrighty.

Nina: Harmony.

Harmony: I hope I didn’t keep you waiting.

Michael: Nurse Tait?

Willow: What — what are you doing here? Wait. It’s not date night. Did I forget date night?

Michael: You’re fine. You’re fine. Are you finished with your rotation?

Willow: Uh… yes. Or can’t you tell by the circles under my eyes? If being a nurse is as exhausting as training to become one, I’m going to have to up my concealer game.

Michael: Hmm. Well, “A,” your eyes are perfect, okay? And “B,” all you need is a week in Paris, and voilà.

Willow: Ooh, you learned a new French word.

Michael: Oui, oui.

Willow: Well, I’ve cleared the trip with my supervisor.

Michael: Alright, well, then let’s get you home and start packing.

Jordan: You want an interview? Contact my office.

Smoltz: Don’t stonewall, Commissioner. You must be aware there’s a video out there of Josslyn Jacks and Cameron Webber doing the dirty.

Jordan: “Out there” as in…

Smoltz: Gone viral. And I have it from unnamed sources that PCU has launched its own investigation. What do you think, Commissioner? With the Corinthos family involved, are we looking at a prank, or something more criminal?

Esme: Is that the gift you gave her?

Spencer: It was. Apparently, Trina doesn’t want anything from me.

Esme: Not even friendship? Does that mean Trina’s out of your life?

Spencer: If she is, will you be happy? You finally got what you wanted.

Esme: How can you say that? If you’re hurt, I’m hurting for you, Spence. But given the pain Trina’s inflicted on your two closest friends, maybe it’s better this way.

Spencer: Better for who?

Esme: Oh, my god. She finally did it, didn’t she? She actually has you believing I’m the one who made that awful video.

Spencer: Aren’t you?

Sam: No. I can’t believe Carly just showed up like that.

Dante: Uh, she didn’t just show up. She detonated our entire plan.

Sam: Yeah, a plan that was actually working, by the way.

Dante: Yeah, it was. But what can you do?

Sam: I don’t know. What now?

Dante: Now we find another way to figure out what Victor’s up to.

Carly: So, um…

Drew: So?

Carly: So… I’m so, so sorry that I completely and utterly ruined your plan. Had I had any idea that —

Drew: Why?

Carly: Why what? Why am I sorry?

Drew: No, no, no. No, I mean, most people that would have come up and figured out what was going on would have, I don’t know, they would have made an anonymous call to the cops, but you, you just stormed up to confront it head-on.

Carly: Well, yeah. I-I thought you were about to pitch that guy over the bridge and commit murder. That’s why I didn’t start filming right away. I mean, I didn’t want to capture that. Can you imagine? I mean, you facing a jury, trying to explain? “I was conditioned. It wasn’t my fault.”

Drew: “The tarot card made me do it” isn’t a good defense? I don’t get it.

Carly: Yeah. I ca– I couldn’t stand the thought of sitting in a gallery watching that.

Drew: You’d be at my trial?

Carly: Yeah, of course I would.

Willow: You want to leave for Paris now?

Michael: As soon as humanly possible, yes.

Willow: Uh, but there’s so much to do, so much to plan.

Michael: Well, you know, all you need is your passport, and thanks to your mom, you have one of those, right? And you know what? We’ll just — we’ll just throw some necessities in a suitcase, and as for the rest, the Parisian shops are calling our names.

Willow: Well, that sounds…

Michael: Incredible?

Willow: Yes. But what about Wiley?

Michael: Who’s Wiley? Our son. Yes, I-I-I-I got it. Okay, well, yes, look, Monica, she offered to watch him. She insisted, actually.

Willow: But that was before she had her hands full planning Jason’s memorial.

Michael: Right. I’d ask my mom, but her life’s kind of crazy right now, though, so…

Willow: There’s always my mom. You know she’d jump at the chance. And let’s face it — so would Nina.

Nina: I figured it was about time that we met. I mean, we do have someone in common.

Harmony: We do?

Nina: Our grandson. Why? Who else do you think I meant?

Jordan: If and when the PCPD has something to say on this matter, you can read the press release.

TJ: Everything cool, mom?

Jordan: Occupational hazard.

Smoltz: If someone’s targeted Sonny Corinthos’ stepdaughter, I’m damn well gonna find out who, with or without your cooperation.

Esme: I can’t believe you’re buying into Trina’s pathetic attempt to deflect suspicion onto me. I mean, this is ridiculous. When I left a little while ago, everything was fine. Trina pays you one visit and now you throw this baseless accusation in my face?

Spencer: Cameron doesn’t think that it’s baseless.

Esme: And who cares what Cameron thinks?

Spencer: I do! He told me to trust my gut.

Esme: And to not trust me? I mean, open your eyes, Spence. Cam’s always had it out for me.

Spencer: No, not always. In fact, he was on your side until you —

Esme: Until what? U-until I somehow taped him and his girlfriend having sex when I was miles away with you? Do you hear yourself?

Spencer: You managed to torch Ava’s car without being there.

Esme: I did that for you.

Spencer: So did you — you do this for me, too?

Esme: They succeeded. Your friends set out to turn you against me, and they finally made it happen.

Spencer: They didn’t do anything, Esme. They didn’t have to. Not if you did it all for them.

Dante: Alright, so we know Drew was part of this operation Demeter at some point.

Sam: Yeah. And our chances at uncovering it are basically zero.

Dante: Right, ’cause he was a seal and, uh, it was probably some black op we’ll never get near.

Sam: Yeah, but I — maybe Spinelli could get near it.

Dante: Sam…

Sam: Demeter. You know he has his ways, but… I know. I’m not allowed to ask him for help anymore.

Dante: [ Chuckles ] You’re a real piece of work, you know that?

Sam: Yeah, I do know that, but I also know that I’m right, and I think it’s a mistake not to utilize Spinelli just because your ego can’t take it.

Dante: Oh. Oh, can’t take it?

Sam: Yeah.

Dante: [ Exhales deeply ] [ Clears throat ] You’re right.

Carly: Do you think I would let you go on trial for a murder you committed against your will with no one in your corner? No way. The next call I would make would be to Diane.

Drew: Oh.

Drew: Call Diane.

Carly: No, call me. I’ll call Diane. I mean, you’re a nice guy and all. [ Laughs ]

Drew: But I’m not on the list?

Carly: No!

Drew: Oh, okay.

Carly: No, I got it. I got it. If it makes you feel better, it’s a very short list. I mean, there were only three people in the world who could call Diane and no matter what she was doing or where she was, she would pick up the phone.

Drew: Hmm.

Carly: Now there are only two.

Drew: You and Sonny.

Carly: Yeah.

Drew: I still can’t believe that your first impulse wasn’t to run, but — but instead, you just jump right into the mix.

Carly: Well, yeah, it’s pretty on-brand for me. [ Laughs ]

Drew: None of the other stuff even crossed your mind?

Carly: Like what?

Drew: Like your kids, your work, your life, all the stuff that you told me not to jeopardize? For all you knew, I could have thrown you over the side next.

Carly: Oh. I-I didn’t even think about that, but if I had, I — no, I don’t believe you would have thrown me over the bridge, conditioned or not.

Drew: I’d really like to believe that. But that’s what’s… so disorienting is, when it is the right tarot card, there — there is no choice, there’s no — there’s no conscious decision to do or don’t. I just wake up and it’s done, and I literally… I don’t remember anything.

Carly: That’s so scary.

Drew: It’s terrifying.

Shawn: It’s been a while since I’ve seen the guy, but when you’re as notorious as Bucky was, you’re not easily forgotten. And this isn’t news to you, is it?

Alexis: No, Harmony told me about the forger.

Shawn: Oh, I see. So she made you an accessory after the fact.

Alexis: I advised her not to do it, but at the end of the day, Harmony did what she was gonna do, and she did it for her daughter. So is there anything you wouldn’t do for T.J.?

Shawn: Okay, see, now you’re just playing dirty.

Alexis: Is there?

Shawn: [ Sighs ] Ask yourself this, Alexis — are you sure Harmony was thinking about Willow? Or was she just thinking about herself?

Harmony: You and I are virtual strangers. I’ve learned the hard way to guard against people who want to involve me in their own personal problems.

Nina: Fair enough. And yes, I don’t blame you for being cautious, but in this particular case, my problem could also be your problem.

Harmony: You want something.

Nina: I only want what you want, I would imagine — to spend time with your precious grandchild. Or does Michael and Willow, do they make you feel welcome when you’re around Wiley?

Harmony: I get to see him from time to time, if and when it’s convenient for them.

Nina: And what if I told you that we could change that?

Harmony: What do you mean?

Nina: What if you never had to beg or grovel to see Wiley? What if we got his parents to put him first and give us what’s rightfully ours?

Michael: We agreed that Nina gets nowhere near our son. Or has that changed?

Willow: No, no, Nina forfeited her right to be in Wiley’s life, as far as we’re concerned. The courts may have a different opinion.

Michael: The only right that Nina has is a right to file a petition. Let her take her best shot, ’cause we know we’re doing what’s best for Wiley.

Willow: Didn’t we agree that that’s being surrounded by people who love him with no ulterior motive?

Michael: Of course. Could that list maybe include my mom? Look, I know she’s had her issues. Believe me, no one knows that better than I do, but… she’s trying so hard to make up for her mistakes, which is more than we can say for Nina, right?

Jordan: Careful now. Sounds like you’re more interested in selling a story than protecting two innocent kids.

Smoltz: Who says they’re innocent?

TJ: What is going on?

Jordan: That’s what I’m trying to figure out. If what Mr. Smoltz here says is true —

Smoltz: Gospel. My sources always check out.

Jordan: I’m sure.

Smoltz: I-if you refuse to give me the answers I need, I’ll just find them somewhere else.

Michael: Despite your mom’s sincere remorse, it’s just — it’s hard for me to leave what she did to you in the past.

Smoltz: Pay dirt.

Spencer: Look me in the eye and tell me that you had nothing to do with that video.

Esme: Would it even matter? After all this time together, everything we’ve been through, I can’t believe our history isn’t enough.

Spencer: I want to trust you, Esme.

Esme: You remember the first time we met in boarding school.

Spencer: Yes, of course I do. Where were your friends then? You didn’t have any. The poor, little rich kid, all alone until I came along. And then when you returned to Port Charles and threw that big welcome home party, who wrote up that guest list, huh? Who made sure every single person on it would fly in? You think they came all this way because they liked you? Please. They used you because your last name is Cassadine. All of them, except for me, because I saw the real you, Spence. Your heart, your mind, your endless potential. Sure, you were just a boy, but… I fell for you knowing one day, you’d be a man. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe I was fooling myself this entire time.

Carly: Okay, let’s be practical about this.

Drew: Your specialty.

Carly: Hey.

Drew: I’m kidding!

Carly: Alright, you know what tarot cards work on you, right?

Drew: The chariot puts me under. The tower brings me out.

Carly: And you know what words need to be used?

Drew: “You’re active” and “stand down.”

Carly: Okay, so besides you and me, who else knows the whole sequence at this point?

Drew: Um, I mean, I think a lot of people know that the conditioning is tied to the tarot cards, but…only Jason and Britt knew the actual sequence.

Carly: Well, I mean, look, I’ve had my mixed feelings about Britt in the past, but she would never use it against you. And I — well, I almost certainly wouldn’t.

Drew: I’m sorry, “almost certainly”?

Carly: Yeah, now that I think about it, I should invest in a tarot deck. I mean, just in case.

Drew: And why would you do that?

Carly: You never know when it may come in handy. You know, when Nina’s really driving me crazy.

Drew: Oh, my god.

Carly: I don’t want to wipe her off the map or anything, but maybe — maybe there’s a fire at the Crimson printing facility. No one’s hurt or anything like that, but the magazine fails and Nina has to leave town. I don’t want you to make the mistake that I’m above that, because I’m not.

Drew: Yeah, you are.

Carly: No!

Drew: Look, you despise Nina, but not for one second do I think that you would take away my free will just to mess with her.

Carly: No. I wouldn’t.

Dante: I was wrong. We should have called Spinelli instead of letting my, uh…

Sam: Ego.

Dante: …Ego, yeah, get in the way, and then maybe we wouldn’t be in this position.

Sam: You know, as much as I like to be right…

Dante: Thanks. That’s nice.

Sam: …You’re wrong.

Dante: I just finished telling you I was wrong.

Sam: No, I’m talking about being in this position. It has absolutely nothing to do with you or who put a microphone on Drew, and everything to do with Carly. The plan went sideways. It was not your fault. You are actually doing a really great job.

Dante: Ooh. Wait. Can you — can you say that again?

Sam: Again?

Dante: Mm-hmm.

Sam: I said you are doing a really great… job.

Carly: When you said take away your free will, that really… really made me think.

Drew: About?

Carly: The worst mistakes I’ve made in my entire life are when I went along with someone else’s choice, when I didn’t make it my choice.

Drew: Hmm.

Carly: You know? I mean, I loved Jason for a million reasons, but one that stands out to me is that Jason never did anything that he didn’t choose to do. I mean, he did a ton of things he didn’t want to do, but Jason was the ultimate proponent for free will. I don’t know, I guess that makes this a little easier sometimes, you know? I’m so angry I want to scream at the universe, but… no one made Jason go to that island. He chose it, just like he chose everything else.

Drew: That’s why you two were so close, ’cause you’re the same that way.

Carly: Yeah.

Drew: It’s true, in the end, you just say what you want, everybody else be damned. Jason clearly didn’t have a problem with it.

Carly: Oh. [ Laughs ] He had a problem with it sometimes. A lot of times. You know, that’s why, um… I think as much as it hurt, I had to end things with Sonny. I mean, it was the right thing to do. I mean, it got to the point where I was making myself small every day. I was lying every day, not just to the kids, but him, the world, myself. I mean, I was… I was swallowing so much resentment and anger, I was choking on it.

Drew: You made a choice and you broke free.

Carly: I mean, it’s gonna take a little while before I’m really okay.

Drew: Mm.

Carly: I mean, I miss Avery so much, it hurts. But I didn’t have a choice. Not one I could live with.

Esme: This is what I get for being by your side when everyone else, including your own father, was against you. I won’t be making that mistake again.

Spencer: You know what you mean to me, okay? I haven’t forgotten all that you’ve done for me.

Esme: It sure seems like it. It’s like you’re willing to believe everyone except me.

Spencer: I just want to understand what happened. Someone made that video and sent it out to the entire school. You blame Trina.

Esme: Because she did it!

Spencer: Everyone else blames you! So either everyone’s wrong and you’re right… who am I supposed to believe?

Esme: Me. You’re supposed to believe me, because that’s what love is, Spence, putting one person before everyone else. Either you can do that or you can’t!

Michael: So, yes, we do need to figure out your mom’s place in Wiley’s life. But can we do it on the way to the airport or, you know, on the plane or any of the amazing cafes we’re gonna be eating at? Look, I just — I just want you to myself in the city of lights.

Willow: We still need to figure out who’s watching Wiley.

Michael: Okay, I-I-I will call my grandmother, give her first choice. In the car.

Willow: Let’s get out of here.

Michael: Alright.

Smoltz: Excuse me, Mr. Corinthos?

Michael: Do I know you?

Smoltz: The name’s Smoltz. You must have seen my work in the invader. Do you have any comment on the video?

Michael: Look, we’re in a hurry, so you can contact my office. So you have no comment about your family’s latest brush with scandal? My family is well-versed in so-called scandals, Mr. Smoltz, so…we’re practically immune.

Smoltz: Ah, okay. Hmm. Even when it comes to your sister Josslyn?

Michael: What about Josslyn?

Alexis: Sorry. You don’t want me to miss a deadline, do you?

Shawn: Always a master at deflection.

Alexis: Hey, the website called me.

Shawn: And even if she hadn’t, you would have found some other way to avoid explaining why you’re covering for your friend.

Alexis: You and I both know this is not about Harmony.

Shawn: No?

Alexis: The last time we spoke, you said you were flying out to the west coast for some amazing job opportunity.

Shawn: Oh, good memory.

Alexis: Thank you.

Shawn: Then you would also remember me asking if I had a reason to come back in a few weeks, move the offices here.

Alexis: The reason being me?

Shawn: And you’ve been avoiding me ever since.

Alexis: I have not been avoiding you, Shawn. Okay, maybe I’ve been avoiding you a little. You want to talk about us? If there even is an us.

Shawn: And is there?

Spencer: I have always put you first — ahead of my family, ahead of my friends, ahead of everyone.

Esme: Then why are we fighting? Look, I know you like Trina and want to believe she’s innocent, but…maybe she did you a favor.

Spencer: What do you mean?

Esme: She returned that gift you got her. Now you can make a clean break and move on. You wrote an inscription.

Spencer: It’s nothing.

Esme: It’s not nothing. “To Trina and our shared passion. Spencer.” Isn’t that sweet? Tell me, Spence, if I hadn’t come back when I did, would you have kissed Trina to demonstrate all that shared passion?!

Drew: You make a really good point.

Carly: I do? I love when I do that.

Drew: [ Chuckles ] There is an upside for me coming back and having missed out a couple of years of my life.

Carly: There is?

Drew: Yeah. I’ve got a completely clear slate. Like, I’m free to… set my own priorities, to — to trust my own instincts, to fill up my life in a way that seems best to me. And yeah, of course, I’ve got obligations, Scout being number one, but it’s not like I’m in a situation where…I’ve made a promise that I can’t keep, or — or — or I’m trapped, emotionally or physically.

Carly: You’re free.

Drew: And I’ve been grateful for that. I mean, I’ve been grateful to be home, but I feel like I’ve been focused more on — on the loss instead of the freedom.

Carly: I think you need to shift your focus.

Drew: I think you’re right. Just let go of… whatever.

Carly: [ Laughs ]

Drew: All the time I’ve lost or dreams I’ve had, just put it down. It’s just gonna… free up so much space to start over.

Carly: Amen to that.

Nina: Legally, grandparents are guaranteed access to their grandchildren, in the state of New York, at least.

Harmony: Even if I wanted to fight for those rights, I wouldn’t be able to afford a lawyer.

Nina: But you wouldn’t have to, because I already have legal representation. But see, that’s not even my point. Yeah, we could come out swinging and we’d probably succeed, but a long, contentious legal battle is not in Wiley’s best interests or in ours.

Harmony: I agree. So what’s the alternative to going to court?

Nina: Okay, separately, we’re in a weak position, right? But together, we can present a united front. I have Michael’s father in my corner, and you have the woman that Michael loves in yours.

Harmony: Willow.

Nina: Yes. So I could put in a good word for you, and you could do the same for me on your end. It could work.

Michael: Something happen to Josslyn? Was she admitted to G.H.? What?

Smoltz: No, nothing like that. Okay, then start talking, because my patience is running thin.

Willow: You know what? Let’s go home. We’ll figure it all out from there, okay?

Michael: No, I’m not going anywhere until he tells me what’s going on.

Smoltz: You really don’t know? Wow. I thought it’d spread like wildfire.

Michael: Start talking.

Smoltz: There’s a video going around…

Michael: And?

Smoltz: …And apparently, your sister was caught in the act with her boyfriend. A-and by “act,” I mean having sex.

Michael: Wait, Cameron and Josslyn?

Willow: Okay, we have the general idea. Let’s get out of here.

Smoltz: And someone sent the video to all the students at PCU. Yeah.

Michael: Who was it?

Smoltz: I was hoping you could tell me that. The video has blown up on social media, but so far, no one is taking credit, which makes me wonder, was this their plan?

Michael: A-are you insinuating that my sister purposely leaked that video?

Smoltz: [ Scoffs ] Well… maybe she wanted the whole world to rate her performance. She is quite the athlete.

[ Smoltz groans ]

Alexis: Nothing has changed since you told me you might be heading to San Francisco. I loved when you were staying at the house. I love working with you.

Shawn: Well, so do I.

Alexis: So you know how much you mean to me.

Shawn: I think so.

Alexis: Yeah, I don’t think I would have survived Pentonville without you. I’m — I’m gainfully employed because of you.

Shawn: I’m not looking for gratitude.

Alexis: I know you’re not.

Shawn: I asked if you’re ready, if you wanted to give us another try. I never got your answer.

Alexis: The answer is no. And there are a hundred reasons for that. We’re — we’re different people. I’m still mourning Neil. The timing is bad, and the most salient point is that we had our chance, and it didn’t work, and to go back and — and think that there’s gonna be some magic redo, it’s just… you deserve better than that. We both do.

Spencer: You’re taking what I wrote out of context.

Esme: Am I?

Spencer: Yes. I was referring to the passion that Trina and i share for art history. Don’t try to take it and turn it into something else just to justify what you have done.

Esme: I’m turning it into something else?

Spencer: Yeah.

Esme: You do that every time you choose to believe Trina over me, to trust her over me, to have your little stolen moments with her when you could be spending time with me. And by the way, what makes you think you know her so well anyway?

Spencer: [ Chuckles ]

Esme: Don’t tell me you two —

Spencer: No, of course not. You want to know why? ‘Cause Trina’s not like that.

Esme: But I am.

Spencer: Did I say that?

Esme: I’m capable of anything, right? Nothing’s too low, but Trina, innocent Trina can do no wrong.

Spencer: You’re overreacting.

Esme: No, I am finally calling you out with the truth. You want boring and basic? Have at it, Spence.

Carly: Have you talked to Monica?

Drew: We’ve been ships passing lately. Why?

Carly: She’s decided to have Jason legally declared dead.

Drew: Hmm. I guess it makes sense from a legal standpoint.

Carly: Yeah.

Drew: You don’t think she’d have a memorial for Jason, do you? Because he would absolutely hate that.

Carly: Totally hate it. A bunch of people sitting around saying nice things about him? Oh, my gosh. But he’d tolerate it, because it’s Monica, and he’d want to make her happy.

Drew: You’re right. You’re right. He would.

Carly: Okay, you have to do me a favor.

Drew: Name it.

Carly: We have to make a pact. If — if there is a memorial and we are forced to sit there and listen to people talk about Jason who never really knew him, you have to catch my eye. Seriously, if it looks like I’m about to stand up and say something, if we’re sitting next to each other, you have to kick me.

Drew: Okay, what if I’m not?

Carly: Well, you’re just gonna have to give me a signal or something. You’ll have to pull your ear. You’re gonna have to blink a couple times. Whatever. You just have to stop me.

Drew: How about this? How about… [ Inhales deeply ]

Carly: Take a breath and count to 10.

Drew: Is that good?

Carly: That’s perfect.

Drew: [ Sighs ] Four days.

Carly: Four days, what?

Drew: The amount of time that we were on Cassadine Island, giving me a chance to know Jason as my brother. It just came down to four days, and now I’m left grieving all the things that we’ll never get a chance to do.

Carly: Drew, I’m so sorry.

Drew: What am I even talking about? I mean, that — that’s nothing compared to what you’re going through.

Carly: No. Yeah, I have this big, gaping hole in my life that’s never gonna be filled. But I have Jason in my heart. The way he was, the way I knew him, really knew him. I just have to realize that everyone has their own version of Jason, and I have to let them have it.

Drew: You will. ‘Cause it doesn’t matter what their version is. You knew who Jason was, for real.

Carly: What a gift.

Harmony: I would love to be involved in Wiley’s life, and not just the birthdays and holidays.

Nina: Yeah, you just want to be involved.

Harmony: Don’t you?

Nina: Yeah. More than anything. You’re lucky you got that with Willow. I never got that with my own daughter. I never even knew who she was until it was already too late.

Harmony: That must have been crushing.

Nina: It’s a kind of loss that you never get over. You just… you learn to live with.

Harmony: I wish there were something I could do. Well, there is something that you can do. Well, not that you owe me anything, of course. Just to be able to be close to my daughter’s child, that would mean the world to me. And I truly believe that would make a difference to Wiley.

Michael: Say another word about my sister, I dare you.

Jordan: That was a stupid thing to do, Michael.

Smoltz: Stupid?! It was assault!

TJ: Let me take a look.

Smoltz: This guy went all Corinthos on me and broke my face!

Michael: Yeah, you’re lucky it wasn’t worse!

Jordan: I suggest you stop talking.

Willow: Michael, can we go home now, please? City of lights, remember?

Michael: Yeah, let’s go.

Jordan: You’re not going anywhere, I’m afraid. Michael Corinthos, you’re under arrest.

Dante: I-I think what you’re saying is that I’ve got skills?

[ Both chuckle ]

Sam: Oh, is that with an “S” or a “Z”?

Dante: It’s with both.

Sam: Yeah?

Dante: Mm-hmm.

Sam: Are these skills that I’m, like, not aware of? Are they current skills?

Dante: Mm… I-I’d say they’re fairly — fairly current, yeah.

Sam: I mean, if you say so.

Dante: I do say so.

Sam: Care to share?

Dante: Well, not here.

Sam: No? We could…see what’s happening at my place.

Dante: Well, here’s a preview.

Drew: Can I give you a ride back to the Metro Court?

Carly: I’m not staying at the Metro Court. Divorce papers are signed. I got the house.

Drew: And how do you feel about that?

Carly: Conflicted [Chuckles] Of course. What else is new, right?

Drew: Hmm.

Carly: I don’t know. I mean, the house is great. It’s a fortress. I mean, I don’t know if I should keep the guards. I’m sure Sonny will be fine with it.

Drew: Oh, for sure.

Carly: I just don’t know if that makes us more of a target. I think I’m gonna have Spinelli come over and just set up a new state-of-the-art security system.

Drew: Well, I could come over and give you a full assessment if you want.

Carly: Really?

Drew: Ex-Navy SEAL over here.

Carly: Yeah, that would be great.

Drew: Good. So back to that ride.

Carly: I have my car. I’m all set. I’ll see you soon.

Drew: Count on it.

Jordan: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you…

Willow: M-Michael was provoked.

Jordan: …In a court of law.

Willow: Did you hear what this man said about his sister?

Jordan: You have the right to an attorney.

Michael: Willow, it — it’s okay.

Willow: No, it’s not!

Jordan: If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you. Do you understand these rights as I’ve read them to you?

Michael: Yes.

Smoltz: This was an attack on the first amendment. What happened to free speech, huh?

Jordan: You spoke enough. Let’s go.

Michael: Paris is gonna have to wait.

Willow: Do you think I’m worrying about Paris right now? All that matters is that you and Josslyn are okay!

Michael: I’ll tell you this much, whoever did this to my sister’s going to pay.

Smoltz: “Whoever did this to my sister is gonna pay.” Now there’s a quote.

Spencer: Wait. You never answered my question.

Esme: You want an answer?

Spencer: Yeah, I do.

Esme: Well, Spence, you don’t always get what you want.

Alexis: I hope your trip to San Francisco is everything that you deserve, and you deserve the best.

Shawn: You keep talking about what I deserve.

Alexis: Because I know you, friend, and I’ve always liked what I’ve known.

Shawn: Always?

[ Both chuckle ]

Alexis: [ Chuckles ] Hey.

Shawn: You take care.

Harmony: I’m sorry I can’t give you your daughter back.

Nina: Unfortunately, no one can do that.

Harmony: But maybe we can share Wiley. You’re right. He can’t have too much love.

Nina: Really? I mean, are you in, then? Gonna do this with me?

Phyllis: Lorraine miller! As I live and breathe!

Willow: [ Breathing heavily ]

[ Ringing ]

Carly: Hello, Willow? Willow? Hello? Willow, are you there?

 

On the next “General Hospital” —

Epiphany: You’re about to reach your limit.

Shawn: She doesn’t share my concerns.

Nina (to Phyllis): If only Michael and Willow would realize it.

Michael: What are you doing to catch the bastard that ruined my sister’s life?

Carly (to Alexis): If you mean that, you will not publish the story.

Sonny: What do you want from me?!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Will: How many is that?

Sonny: That’s, like–

Chad: Not enough!

Will: Ah!

Will and sonny: Hey!

Chad: What, the kiriakis can’t afford a home gym?

Sonny: Hey, what can we say? Times are tough.

Chad: When did you guys get in?

Will: A couple of days ago.

Chad: I’m sorry we couldn’t get together sooner. I was out of town.

Sonny: Yeah, we, uh, heard you found sarah horton.

Chad: Yeah, kristen had her this whole time. Abigail started asking questions and kristen grabbed her too.

Will: Are you freaking kidding me?

Chad: I wish I was. But we’re home, we’re safe.

Sonny: I mean, was it– was it scary on the, uh, dimera private island?

Chad: Yeah, but at least I wasn’t dealing with leo stark.

Sonny: Right.

Craig: Oh!

Leo: Oh. I thought you were asleep.

Craig: I was.

Leo: Well, come on. The night is young. And you’re not responding. Fine, take a nap. See if I care.

Craig: Baby, it’s been great, it’s just–we’ve been going all day. I need a break.

Leo: Can I help it if I can’t keep my hands off you?

Craig: Mm. I’m serious, leo. Come on. I’m not a spring chicken anymore. Besides, I’m hungry. Let me buy you some dinner, hmm?

Leo: Fine. But when we get back here, I’m having you for dessert.

[Tense music]

Marlena: You’re loving this, aren’t you, you old bastard? Twenty-five years ago, you unlocked the gates of hell. And now that demon has my daughter. Well, john is on his way over here. We have defeated you before, and we will do it again.

John: Doc?

Marlena: In here.

John: [Sighs] Oh, baby.

Marlena: I’m so glad you’re here.

John: Your message just said “emergency.” I was going out of my mind.

Marlena: I didn’t want to leave the information on the voice mail.

John: Okay, okay, so what’s going on?

Marlena: I think you better brace yourself.

[Foreboding music]

Demon johnny: Why, auntie belle, you seem to be in a bit of a bind. Well, it’s a good thing this bed’s comfy. If things work out, you’re gonna be here for a while.

[Laughing]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Brady: Come in.

Chloe: Hey.

Brady: You look tired.

Chloe: Ugh, I am. I haven’t really been sleeping very well lately, and I don’t think I will until I can get my dad out of leo’s clutches. Do you know that he called me today?

Brady: Your dad?

Chloe: Yeah. We spoke for over an hour, and he’s just furious.

Brady: Because we were trying to grill leo?

Chloe: Yeah, that, and also sending sonny and will to warn him about that creep.

Brady: Leo must’ve given him an earful.

Chloe: Yeah, and he bought it all. It’s just–it’s so crazy. I feel like I don’t know my own father anymore.

Brady: No, no, chloe, chloe. I mean, sooner or later your dad is gonna realize that you had his best interests at heart. Sonny and will are not giving up.

Chloe: I just wish I knew what this secret plan of theirs is. And hoping it doesn’t blow up in our faces–or my dad’S.

[All laugh]

Chad: The-the-the thing that drove me craziest about leo is that nothing fazes him. I mean, I told him that I was straight, that I was married. That I got two kids. And then the guy still doesn’t take “no” for answer.

Sonny: No, that’s–that is leo, all right.

Chad: I wonder what his latest caper is. Because I know there is one.

Will: Uh, yeah. Yeah, there is.

Chad: You’ve heard from the little troll?

Sonny: Uh, worse. We’ve kind of seen him.

Will: Yeah, the little troll is back in town.

Marlena: The night of the exorcism, I thought you had freed me from the hell that I was going through. And that we would return to our lives and everything would be normal.

John: And it has.

Marlena: No, no, it hasn’T.

John: What are you talking about? And what the hell are we doing here anyway?

Marlena: John, this is where it happened.

John: This is where what happened?

Marlena: I came here looking for belle.

John: Why would belle be here anyway?

Marlena: No, but wait. Please, please. Let me explain, okay? I came in, and I was attacked.

John: What? Okay, stop right there. Let’s just slow this down and start from the beginning. Just tell me what happened.

Marlena: You didn’t vanquish the devil that night. The devil just left my soul and went into somebody else’S.

John: You’re kidding me.

Marlena: I wish I were. Because john, it went into our daughter.

John: Belle? Oh, no way. Doc, no, it can’t be. No.

Demon johnny: You know, I knew I wouldn’t have any problem conning that airhead susan banks into believing the devil’s got you. But what really impresses me is that I did the same thing to marlena. I mean, your own mother thinks you’re possessed. It’s glorious. And as long as you keep making like sleeping beauty, no one will ever be the wiser. The thing to work on now is well, what to do when– when you wake up. If. If you wake up. It’s my 5:52 woke-up-like-this migraine medicine.

Kayla: Ugh. I’m sorry I’m late.

Steve: Oh, it’s okay, baby. I already ordered for you.

Kayla: That’s sweet of you.

Steve: I’d better be sweet after the day you’ve had.

Kayla: Yeah.

Steve: How’s eli doing?

Kayla: Well, we thought the surgery was a success, but he’s slipped into a coma.

Steve: Oh, man.

Kayla: Yeah. Steve, he’s got these two little toddlers, I just…

Steve: Have you seen lani?

Kayla: Yeah, yeah, of course. She’s there at the hospital with paulina and valerie, and julie’s there too, and you know, I just– they all love him so much.

Steve: I can’t believe a punk drug dealer shot a good cop in broad daylight.

[Sighs] Well, you need to eat. Let me get the waitress.

Kayla: No, no, no, not yet. You know, there’s something else. The board is pressuring me to fire marlena.

Steve: [Sighs]

John: So belle was the one who attacked you?

Marlena: She attacked johnny too. John, when I looked at her, her eyes were glowing.

John: Where is she now?

Marlena: Upstairs. Tied up like I was. This is all my fault.

John: No, it’s not. No, it’s not, no, it’s not.

Marlena: Of course it is. The devil came after me. He wanted to control me completely, and when he couldn’t, he went after our baby.

John: No, no, you can’t blame yourself, honey, you can’T.

Marlena: Who else is–

John: Just-just-just give me a second, I-I-I gotta think about this because– something about this doesn’t make any sense here. I’ve spent far too much time with belle the night after the exorcism. I mean, I would have seen the signs.

Marlena: He knew that. He stayed away from you.

John: Okay, so why show himself now?

Marlena: Well, it wasn’t voluntary. Susan came back to town. She warned me about him.

John: And what did susan say?

Marlena: She came here looking for johnny. When she got here, she saw belle, and belle was wearing a coat with “666” on it.

John: No, I can’t buy it. I need to see belle for myself.

Marlena: You can’t talk to her, john. I’ve sedated her.

John: She’s alone?

Marlena: Well, no, no, johnny is with her. Johnny was the one who kept her from hurting me.

John: How’d he stop her?

Marlena: I’m afraid he knocked her unconscious.

John: Oh, my god.

Marlena: I know. I don’t know what would’ve happened if he hadn’t been here.

Demon johnny: Things would definitely go more smoothly if you never woke up. The good people of salem would want to believe that the devil died when you did. Yeah, I like it.

John: Johnny! What in the hell are you doing? Super emma just about sleeps in her cape.

Johnny: Grandpa john, hey!

John: You had both your hands around her neck.

Johnny: I–she was so quiet. I swear I was–I was just making sure she was still breathing.

John: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just get away from her. Belle? Izzy b? Sweetheart, it’s daddy. I’m right here, honey. Your mom’s here too, sweetie. Where’s shawn? Does he know about this?

Marlena: No, not yet, I– I wanted to talk to you before I told him.

John: Okay, well now I know. She’s gonna need him.

Marlena: But john, it’s been a horrible day. Eli walked in on a drug bust. The dealer shot him. He’s critical.

John: Oh, I don’t even believe this.

Marlena: And shawn is in charge of the case. And somebody has to be there for julie.

John: He needs to know right now.

Johnny: We-we just thought, uh, you know, the fewer people that got wind of this, the better.

John: Well, you’re not calling the shots here. And we don’t know for sure she even is possessed.

Johnny: Did grandma tell you what she did?

John: Yeah, yeah, yeah, kid. She told me. But before I accept the fact that we’re dealing with the devil again, I’m gonna make damn sure that belle’s behavior isn’t caused by something else.

Steve: And it’s bad enough the board wants marlena gone, but they’re asking you to fire her?

Kayla: Yeah.

Craig: Uh, excuse me. I-I don’t mean to interrupt, but the board wants to fire marlena? Why would they do such a thing?

Steve: This is a private conversation.

Craig: I know.

Kayla: Craig? Craig wesley?

Craig: Good to see you again, kayla.

Kayla: Wow. Steve, you remember craig. He’s chloe’s dad.

Steve: Right, right, yeah. I’m sorry, it’s been a while.

Kayla: Well, steve and i are married now.

Craig: Oh, congratulations.

Kayla: Yeah. Um, well, listen, that’s so nice of you and nancy to come in to see chloe.

Craig: We’re um, we’re both here to see chloe. But we’re no longer together.

Kayla: I’m sorry, I–

Leo: Well, I’m not. I’m his new boyfriend.

Chad: You guys expect me to believe that-that chloe lane’s dad is-is not only gay all of a sudden, but he’s also dating leo stark?

Sonny: Look, we’re not putting you on, man. Okay, I wish we were, but chloe’s really upset.

Chad: Okay, why–then why doesn’t she just tell her dad that leo is a total sleaze?

Will: Well, she tried. And when he refused to believe her, she asked us to talk to him. Which we did.

Sonny: And that did not work, either.

Will: Yeah, apparently, dr. Wesley hasn’t been a perfect person, so he’s willing to be forgiving.

Chad: I don’t care what dr. Wesley’s rap sheet looks like; it can’t be nearly as bad as leo’S.

Sonny: Well, we have to do something, you know, but it– it’s not gonna be easy ’cause, you know, wesley hasn’t been out that long, and leo is very, um, attentive.

Chad: Okay. I don’t need the details. I know–I know very well all about leo’s attentiveness.

Will: That–exactly. Which is why we need your help.

Chad: Me? What can I do?

Brady: Look, sonny and will, they know leo better than anyone. So if sonny says he has a way to get your dad to see leo’s true colors, I believe him.

Chloe: I want to, but you didn’t hear my dad on the phone today. He said that he’s never been happier in his life than when he’s been with leo.

Brady: Yeah, I know a little something about the illusion of happiness. Remember theresa? Or kristen? But we sometimes, you just want to–want to believe something so badly that you almost will yourself to think it’s true.

Chloe: Tell me about it. You ignore all the warning bells in your brain because you wanna believe the fairy tale.

Brady: Mm-hmm. And sometimes, the worst part is that the real thing is staring at you right in the face.

Chloe: And you don’t recognize it. I was on an antidepressant,

Kayla: The two of you are dating?

Leo: Oh, it’s more than that. We’re in love, aren’t we?

Craig: I know I am.

Steve: I’m sorry if i don’t say congratulations. I still remember what you did to my sister’s son.

Kayla: And my nephew, will.

Leo: Okay, look, I-I read about what happened to poor adrienne and–

Steve: Oh, no, no. No, you don’T. Don’t you dare talk about my sister.

Leo: Whoa. Touchy much?

Craig: Let me take care of this. Look, leo is a changed man. You have my word on that.

Kayla: You know, it was nice running into you, craig.

Craig: Kayla, just–about this marlena thing, being fired from the board. Why would they do that? I mean, she’s one of the most distinguished psychiatrists in the country.

Leo: But being possessed by the devil– gotta be a game changer. What, I-I read about it in the “intruder.” I have nothing but respect for the woman. That marlena devil is one fierce bitch.

Marlena: John. I know you hate this, but… she’s definitely possessed.

Johnny: She’s right, I– I saw those-those weird eyes, and–well, if that’s not proof, I don’t know what is. Very scary.

John: Yeah, well, I want to see for myself.

[Ominous music]

Oh, my god.

Marlena: What are we going to do?

John: I’ve been trying to get a hold of eric, but he’s not getting back, so. If there’s gonna be another exorcism here, I’m gonna have to perform it myself.

Johnny: You’re-you’re not really a priest.

John: The priesthood did not save marlena all those years ago. It was our love for one another. And now that same love is what’s gonna have to save our child.

Kayla: You shouldn’t believe everything you read in the “intruder.”

Leo: So they just made it up? Salem’s top shrink didn’t really go on a demonic rampage? Well, I hope the woman sues for libel in that case.

Kayla: I didn’t say they made it up.

Leo: Hmm, you kinda did.

Steve: Okay, that’s enough. Marlena and john are very close friends of ours. We’re not gonna discuss something you read about them in a tabloid.

Leo: Okay, okay. I’m-I’m sorry if I hit a nerve.

Craig: Kayla, I think it’s quite admirable how– how you’re sticking by your friend and colleague, but I just remember how tough the board could be when I was chief of staff.

Kayla: Thank you.

Leo: Mm-hmm, yes. Thank you, craig. For smoothing over an awkward situation like only you can. Isn’t he charming and adorable? Right. Well, though this convo has been a barrel of monkeys, we have got to get going. I just called the pub. Our table is ready, and they’re gonna have your dirty martini waiting.

Craig: That’s wonderful. Maybe we could all get together sometime?

Leo: Ooh! A double date, I love it! And I promise, the topic of old beelzebub will not come up. We can stick to global extinction crisis. Did you know that 22 animals and one plant can now be considered extinct and removed from the endangered species list?

Craig: Leo likes to read the scientific journals a lot these days.

Leo: So our date. How does this weekend look by you guys? If you don’t mind a little bit of a schlep, I was thinking we can go to my favorite french restaurant in chicago, pierrot gourmet. The confit de canard, superb.

Kayla: Well, you know, steve and I are really so busy right now. I–we’d have to check our calendars.

Craig: Okay, well, um, some other time.

Kayla: Yeah.

Leo: Ta-ta. A bientT.

Kayla: I guess what my mom used to say is true.

Steve: What’s that?

Kayla: There’s a lid for every pot.

Sonny: Craig isn’t gonna believe a word we have to say about leo. I mean, he won’t even listen to his own daughter. So we have to show him with his own eyes what a degenerate this guy is.

Chad: Okay. How do I fit in?

Sonny: Uh, well, if there’s one thing that leo likes as much as money, maybe more, it’s sex.

Will: Yeah, leo’s probably a sex addict. Which is a real thing. There is a 12-step program, so we read.

Chad: Okay, okay, but we’re not gonna get leo to go through those 12 steps or any other 12 steps for that matter, so why do we care?

Sonny: Because we have to understand this guy’s weaknesses if we’re gonna exploit them.

Chad: And how do you propose we do that?

Sonny: Uh, well, we thought we would offer leo two of his biggest temptations– sex and money– in one great-looking package. Migraine attacks?

Steve: I can’t believe that a man that age, a doctor, no less, would fall for a creep like leo stark.

Kayla: Yeah, it’s baffling.

Steve: I mean, even when the guy was babbling on and on, embarrassing himself, wesley just looked at him adoringly.

Kayla: No, I don’t–I don’t think that he was looking at him adoringly. I think that craig was, uh, you know, embarrassed about leo’s behavior.

Steve: That’s not what I saw. He seemed head over heels to me. I mean, oh man, I think he’s brave coming out at this point in his life. But to choose a guy like that?

Kayla: Yeah, it does seem like not a great match.

Steve: That’s an understatement.

Kayla: Listen, next time, please, please tell me to keep my voice down when I’m talking about work.

Steve: So craig overheard us. It’s no big deal.

Kayla: No, you don’t understand. I heard that craig pulled every dirty trick in the book to steal the chief of staff job away from mike horton.

Steve: You’re not worried that craig might come after your job, are you?

Kayla: No, but I don’t put anything past him. Especially now that he’s hooked up with a con man like leo stark.

Craig: I just can’t stop thinking about the board wanting to fire marlena.

Leo: A legend who turned into a complete monster, complete with glowing eyeballs and fangs.

Craig: Fangs?

Leo: That’s what some people are saying.

Craig: Yeah, well, whatever they’re saying, she’s highly respected. Like you said, a legend.

Leo: Well, people are fickle. You’re in like flynn one minute. The next, you can’t get arrested. Cancel culture and all that.

Craig: Yeah, you’re right about that.

Leo: Ooh, I think you should get a big steak and some home fried potatoes.

Craig: Yeah? And then I’d have to double up on my cholesterol meds.

Leo: You’ll work it all off once we get back to the hotel. I will see to that.

Craig: You will, won’t you? You’re too much.

Leo: You love it.

Craig: I do. And I love you.

Leo: [Sighs]

Craig: I just wish chloe would find a way to accept us.

Leo: She’ll come around. Let’s get you that martini.

Chloe: I don’t know if I’ve said this already, but thank you.

Brady: For what?

Chloe: For being my friend and being my sounding board through all of this.

Brady: You don’t have to thank me for that.

Chloe: Sure I do. I mean, none of this mess is your problem. And you know you can bail any time you want to, right?

Brady: Oh, thank you. I will never do that. How many personal dramas have you seen me through?

Chloe: I don’t feel like it’s that many.

Brady: [Laughs] All right, why don’t we go back to last summer when I just got out of the hospital? What did you do? You ran the office. You took care of me. You-you spent time with rachel. Who adores you, by the way.

Chloe: Well, I’m-I’m pretty crazy about her as well. And I’ll always be here for you.

Brady: I don’t know what I did to deserve having you come back into my life the way you have, but I’m so grateful that you have. Hey. How-how was san francisco?

John: Oh, hey, sorry, kids. I can’t talk about it right now.

[Suspenseful music]

Johnny: Where’s grandpa john?

Marlena: He went home to get what he needs for the exorcism.

Johnny: Who knew that stuff would keep coming in handy, huh? Uh, sorry. Bad-bad joke.

Marlena: I’m not really in a jokey mood. I’m a little concerned about her.

Johnny: Me too. I still can’t get over seeing her that way, you know? What she was capable of with the devil inside her.

Marlena: We have to get her back.

Johnny: I just hope grandpa john’s able to save her soul before it’s too late.

Is now a good time

for a flare-up?

Brady: Hey, dad, is everything okay?

John: Yeah, yeah. Everything’s fine. Just working on a case here. Here to pick up some stuff. You have yourself a good night now, okay?

Brady: Okay.

Chloe: Okay, good night.

Brady: Well, I’m pretty sure he wasn’t telling me the truth.

Chloe: I don’t think so, either.

Brady: Oh, what now?

Chloe: Uh, I don’t know, but maybe don’t borrow trouble, okay?

Brady: Okay. Hey, just before my dad came in, I hope you don’t think that I was coming onto you. I-I–you know how I feel about you, but I also know that you are hung up on philip and I…

Chloe: Maybe I’m not?

Brady: Not what?

Chloe: Still hung up on philip. I mean, I hope that he’s okay, wherever he is, but, uh, I think it might be time for me to let him go.

Leo: Another martini?

Craig: Mm-mm. Dinner will be here shortly.

Leo: You’ve been kind of quiet. Thinking about chloe?

Craig: Yeah, I have. She’s my daughter.

Leo: I wish she would give me a chance to prove how much I love you.

[Phone beeps]

Craig: Great.

Leo: What, what is it?

Craig: It’s a text from one of my friends at the hospital. “Hey, craig. Just to let you know, nancy’s been in touch with me and various others at the hospital, informing us that you’re getting divorced. She’s also told us the reason.”

Leo: Why would she do that?

Craig: Maybe she’s hurt, angry, wants sympathy. Which I can understand, it’s– gonna be a problem for us. For me, I mean. The hospital, she’s beloved there. They-they–she organizes the volunteers, she does the fundraising. They love her there. She’s great at that stuff. If anybody thinks that I treated her poorly, my career could take a hit. They could fire me for this.

Leo: They cannot fire you for being gay.

Craig: I know. But it could freeze me out of important social circles, which could end my career.

Leo: So who says we have to go back to new york?

Craig: I do. That’s where my career is.

Leo: But you said it started here in salem. And you said it was a promising start.

Craig: I did.

Leo: So what if you come back? Pick up where you left off?

Chad: Okay. So if I’m understanding you correctly, then you want to offer leo a chance at more money and better sex than he’s getting from chloe’s dad?

Sonny: Exactly.

Chad: Okay, so how do you, uh, propose we do that then? Hire someone and have him pretend to a be a rich guy who’s hot for leo?

Will: No. He-he would be on to that in a second, he’s not dumb. He would recognize a fellow prostitute or con man.

Sonny: Yeah, no, will’s right. This–this guy has to be the real deal.

Chad: Oh, that’s gonna be pretty hard to find, right?

Sonny: Mm, maybe not.

Johnny: You have to take care of yourself, grandma.

Marlena: No, I’m fine.

Johnny: I haven’t seen you eat anything. Why don’t you go down to the kitchen? Find something to eat.

Marlena: I’m not hungry. And I’m not leaving her until john gets back.

[Foreboding music]

Demon johnny: Maybe I should just get rid of marlena right now. She’s starting to bore me. It’d be easy. I could blame it on belle. Tell john that belle broke free of the restraints and strangled her poor old mother. I tried to help her, of course, but there was nothing I could do.

[Door opens]

Marlena: Oh. Thank god you’re here. Did you get what you wanted?

John: Yeah.

Johnny: I’ll-I’ll do anything I can to help.

John: Well, the best thing you can right now, johnny, is just leave us alone.

Limu emu

Johnny: You just said belle needs people around who love her.

John: I’m not asking you to leave because you’re annoying. I’m telling you that you have to leave because I don’t want the devil making you his next host.

Johnny: Yeah, well, I’m not afraid. Belle is my cool aunt. I love her.

Marlena: That’s very sweet of you, but john is right. The fewer people in this room, the better.

Johnny: What if–what if i just stand way over there?

Marlena: Out.

John: Why don’t you just go downstairs and wait for us.

Johnny: I can’t do anything to change your guys’ minds, huh?

[Tense music]

Marlena: Well, I’ve never actually seen this done before. I’ve only been on the receiving end. Just tell me what you’d like me to do.

John: Okay, I will. I want you to leave the room, too, doc.

Demon johnn: If I’m not there when the ritual starts, john is gonna find out that belle’s not possessed. Marlena evans and that ersatz priest husband of hers are gonna figure out the truth. I’ve got to do something to get back up in that room. Of course.

[Line trills]

Johnny: Uncle shawn. It’s me, johnny. Look, can-can you come over to my house right away? Something’s happened to aunt belle.

Brady: You’re really ready to give up on philip?

Chloe: Well, sometimes I– I think that we just have to face the reality. And the reality is, I don’t know where he is or when he’s coming back. Or if he’s coming back. You know, I think I just have to accept that maybe he’s dead. And I don’t know who got to him or why. Maybe it was kristen because she escaped around that time, but– I just, I know it wasn’t you.

Brady: Thank god.

Chloe: And I’m tired of living my life in limbo.

Brady: You’ve had so much to deal with lately.

Chloe: I-I know. But that’s what has made me think of this. I think about my dad and how he’s lived his entire life in denial. And if he would have just been honest with himself and my mom a lot sooner… you know, I don’t wanna live like that, I– I don’t live–want to live a life where I deny what I– what I feel for you.

Brady: Really? Do you have any idea how long I’ve been waiting for you to say those words? Chloe, I just–I need to know that you’re sure about it.

Chloe: You have been so patient and gentle with me.

Brady: Oh come on.

Chloe: No, it’s true, brady. It’s true, I think– I think it’s always been you.

Brady: Hallelujah. Come here.

Craig: I love new york, leo. It’s the land of opportunity. The pace, the diversity, it’s what I thrive on. I mean, why would I want to leave that to come back to the sticks?

Leo: So it’s a small pond. You’d be the big handsome fish.

Craig: And do what? Hang out a shingle so I could try and build a practice at my age?

Leo: You heard what kayla johnson said. The board wants her to can dr. Devil, and she doesn’t have the guts to do it.

Craig: What does that have to do with me?

Leo: Babe, you’re not seeing the big picture. If kayla stands her ground, her job could be in trouble.

Craig: Ah, now I hear what you’re saying.

Leo: If we play our cards right, you could be dr. Craig wesley, the once and future chief of staff at salem university hospital.

Chad: Leo is a creep.

Sonny: Uh, right.

Will: Mm-hmm.

Chad: Okay, so how are you gonna some real deal guy to come on to him?

Sonny: Well, it-it would have to be somebody who, you know, leo’s already expressed interest in. You know, somebody who wouldn’t have to sell himself.

Chad: Why are you guys looking at me like that? What do you want me to do?

Will: Something along the lines of making leo’s wildest dreams come true.

Chad: How am I supposed to do that?

Sonny: By going to bed with him.

TV Interview!

Noah Weisberg of "Super Pumped: The Story of Uber"

Interview with Noah Weisberg of “Super Pumped: The Story of Uber” on Showtime by Thane 3/17/22

It was a pleasure to speak to him about the show. I’ve known the controversies surrounding Uber for quite a while, so I enjoyed watching a series about it. This is such a great show, and it’s clear that everyone involved loves it and puts forth their best efforts.

 

Enjoy the video! We’ll have the transcript up soon…

Check out our other Interview with actors Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Kyle Chandler and Uma Thurman; and EP/Writers Brian Koppelman, David Levien, and Beth Schacter of “Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber” on Showtime 2/23/22

MORE INFO:

Babak Tafti, Noah Weisberg and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in a scene from "Super Pumped: The Battle of Uber"SUPER PUMPED

“TK — You’re going to love my nuts.” Quentin / Noah Weisberg

Last week, audiences had the opportunity to watch the premiere episode of Showtime’s “SUPER PUMPED: The Battle for Uber”. In the opening scene, you meet Quentin, played by rising star Noah Weisberg (Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist).

“TK, you’re gonna love my nuts,” says Quentin, before pitching the Safe Rides Fee: a surcharge added to each trip to cover added costs of ensuring safety… except Uber isn’t taking any extra measures to ensure safety. Paired with a cheap safety video made for drivers, the fee just provides the illusion of care, while bringing in hundreds of millions in profit for Uber. “Wow, I do love your nuts,” Travis responds.

At the end of the episode, we witness the initial moment Travis Kalanick, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, hires Quentin after Quentin claims himself as “an asshole”. “That’s the right answer. Because if you’re not, you’ll never make it at Uber.” TK responds.

Noah Weisberg‘s Quentin will be featured in 6 out of the 7 episodes of Season One as Head of the Uber Tech Department. As Quentin becomes TK’s right-hand tech man, he finds himself carrying out TK’s (often illegal) technical changes to the app, overriding laws in order to make the most money possible.

Weisberg most recently played ‘Danny Michael Davis’ on the fan-favorite NBC series ZOEY’S EXTRAORDINARY PLAYLIST on both its seasons. Prior to that, Weisberg starred as ‘Willy Wonka’ on the national tour of CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY.

Television credits include recurring roles on Fox’s MODERN FAMILY, TNT’s MAJOR CRIMES, and NBC’s LAW & ORDER, and he has guest-starred on numerous series including CBS’ THE WISDOM THE CROWD, CBS’ THE GOOD WIFE, TBS’ FRANKLIN & BASH, Fox’s BONES, CBS’ BAD TEACHER, NBC’s THE NEW NORMAL.

Noah is also well-known from being part of the Original Broadway casts of ELF – THE MUSICAL, ENRON, LEGALLY BLONDE, and the Off-Broadway revival productions of THE TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA and DAMN YANKEES. Weisberg also wrote, directed, and starred in the award-winning short film THANK YOU KINDLY, co-starring Kimiko Glenn.

General Hospital Updates

GH logo

Update written by Dustin

At the offices of the Intruder, Shawn tells Alexis they need to talk about her friend Harmony and the company she keeps. Alexis confides to Shawn that she already knows about Harmony doing business with the forger. Shawn cautions Alexis on her involvement with Harmony and requests that she ask herself if she believes Harmony got the fake passport to help out her daughter or to help out herself. They discuss Harmony and the paper as well. Then Shawn asks if Alexis would like to give their relationship another try.  She says no and insists that Shawn deserves a fresh start in San Francisco.

At General Hospital, a journalist pressures Jordan to give him information on the investigation into who leaked the sex tape at PCU.  He wants to know since the Corinthos family are involved is Port Charles looking at a simple prank or something more sinister?

At Charlie’s, Nina surprises Phyllis, who tells her she wishes she had told her she was coming by and she would have canceled her plans. She asks Nina if she can have a rain check and quickly exits.  Harmony arrives and Nina smiles a twisted smile, it’s clear she has asked Harmony to meet her there.  

Michael surprises Willow at General Hospital. She acts very surprised to see him and worries that she has forgotten plans that they might have made. Michael tells her that they have no plans but that they do need to get home and start packing for Paris. Willow asks Michael who is keeping Wiley while they are gone.  He says Monica.  Willow suggests that Monica may be too tied up now that she is planning Jason’s memorial.  Michael says that Carly is also preoccupied.  Willow then asks if Michael would be OK leaving Wiley with Harmony.  Michael and Willow step into the elevators on the tenth floor. Before the elevator doors can close, the investigative reporter who was trying to get information from Jordan asks Michael if he has any comment on the situation with his sister.  Michael is caught off guard, he has not been made aware of any scandal (and certainly no sex tape) involving his sister. The reporter fills him in and insinuates that perhaps Josslyn leaked the video herself because of her athletic performance.  Michael punches the reporter in the face.  The situation is made worse because Jordan is standing just feet away and sees the whole thing.  She places Michael under arrest.  Michael apologizes to Willow for ruining their Paris trip. Willow steps into a patient room for privacy so that she can phone Carly. She is breathing heavily and it is clear she is in physical distress.  Carly answers but there’s no one on the other end.  Willow has collapsed on the floor of the hospital room.

Back at Spring Ridge, Esme continues her innocent act with Spencer.  She asks Spencer if Trina is out of his life for good.  Spencer says that it looks thay was and congratulations Esme on finally getting what she wanted.  Esme says that obviously Trina has been successful at convincing Spencer that she made the sex tape of Josslyn and Cameron.  Spencer asks her outright if that is the truth? Esme says that Spencer’s friends have turned him against her and Spencer replies that they didn’t have to, she did it all for them.  Esme tells Spencer that if he wants boring and basic, he should be with Trina and heads for the exit. Spencer tells Esme to wait, she hasn’t answered his question about whether or not she is responsible for the sex tape.  Esme tells Spencer that he doesn’t always get what he wants.

Dante and Sam discuss Carly demolishing their sting operation. Sam suggests that they involve Spinelli in their investigation.  Dante is reluctant, but Sam insists and says that it would be stupid to not use Spinelli’s knowledge because Dante’s ego can’t handle it.  Dante agrees that she is right. They share an intimate kiss and agree to go to Sam’s place for the evening.

Meanwhile, Drew and Carly discuss the operation-gone-wrong back at the footbridge.  Carly says that she actually thought that Drew might throw Johan over the bridge and that would be difficult to explain that to a jury.  Drew agrees that a tarot card making him do it, is not a good defense.  Carly says she could picture that explanation at trial and the confusion that would ensue. Drew seems touched and asks Carly if she would really come to his trial.  She says she absolutely would be there.  Drew and Carly discuss the seriousness of his conditioning. Carly says that the situation must be terrifying. Carly also admits that the worst mistakes she has ever made in her life were made because she went along with someone else’s choice when she didn’t agree.  Drew asks her if she needs a ride back to the Metro Court. Carly tells him the divorce with Sonny is finalized and that she is back at the house, also that she brought her car so she doesn’t need a ride. Drew tells her he will see her soon and they part ways.  Carly seems taken with Drew’s honestly and openness .

At Charlie’s, Nina tells Harmony she believes it was about time that they got to know each other.  After all, they have someone in common.  Harmony inquires as to whom that might be and Nina says that it is their grandson, Wiley. Nina immediately begins to lay out plans for Harmony to participate in her lawsuit to win visitation rights to Wiley.  She tells Harmony that if they seek their rights jointly, it will likely carry greater weight with the court, as they will be presenting a unified front.  Nina has to do more convincing, but in the end, Harmony seems to agree.  However, Phyllis returns to the bar. Phyllis steps up to the table where Nina and Harmony are seated.  Phyllis looks thrilled to see Harmony but she calls her by another name, Lorraine Miller.  Nina’s facial expression goes from happy to perplexed.

Update written by Joseph

Will and Sonny are working out in the living room of the Kiriakis Mansion when Chad arrives and greets them. Chad mentions he’s sorry that they couldn’t get together sooner as he was out of town. Sonny mentions hearing that he found Sarah Horton. Chad confirms that Kristen had her the whole time and grabbed Abigail too but they are home safe. Sonny asks if it was scary on the DiMera private island. Chad remarks that it wasn’t quite dealing with Leo Stark.

Leo and Craig wake up in bed together. Craig suggests buying dinner while Leo says he will have him for dessert as they kiss.

Marlena enters the living room of the DiMera Mansion and looks up at the portrait of Stefano. Marlena guesses Stefano is loving that the Devil has her daughter. Marlena declares that John is on his way over and they will defeat him again. John arrives and hugs Marlena. John says her message just said emergency so he’s been going out of his mind. Marlena didn’t want to leave it on voicemail. John asks what’s going on. Marlena suggests he brace himself.

Devil Johnny enters the bedroom where Belle is tied to the bed. He remarks that she seems to be in a bind and jokes that she’s going to be here for awhile.

Chloe goes to see Brady, who comments that she looks tired. Chloe confirms that she hasn’t been sleeping well lately and doesn’t think she will until she can get Craig out of Leo’s clutches. Chloe mentions that Craig called her today and they spoke for over an hour but he’s furious about them trying to grill Leo and sending Will and Sonny to warn him. Chloe says it’s so crazy as she feels like she doesn’t know her own father anymore. Brady encourages that Craig will realize she has his best interest at heart and that Will and Sonny aren’t giving up. Chloe wishes she knew what Will and Sonny’s secret plan is and hopes it doesn’t blow up in their faces or Craig’s.

Chad jokes with Will and Sonny about Leo and wonders what his latest caper is. Will and Sonny then reveal that Leo is back in town.

Marlena explains to John that on the night of the exorcism, she thought John freed her from the hell that she was going through and that they would return to their normal lives but it hasn’t happened. John questions what they are doing here. Marlena informs him that this is where it happened. Marlena explains that she came here looking for Belle which John questions. Marlena reveals that she came in and was attacked. John tells her to start from the beginning and tell him what happened. Marlena declares that he didn’t vanquish the Devil that night, he just left her soul and went in to somebody else’s. Marlena then reveals to John that it went in to their daughter, Belle. John can’t believe it.

The Devil says he knew he wouldn’t have any problem conning Susan in to believing the Devil had Belle, but what really impressed him is that he did the same thing to Marlena. The Devil remarks that as long as Belle remains sleeping, no one will ever be wiser. The Devil declares that now he has to work on what to do when she wakes up, if she wakes up.

Kayla meets Steve for drinks in the town square. Steve asks her about Eli is doing. Kayla says they thought surgery was a success but now he’s slipped into a coma. Kayla worries about the wins. Steve asks about Lani. Kayla informs him that she is at the hospital with Paulina, Valerie, and Julie. Steve can’t believe a drug dealer would shoot a cop in broad daylight. Steve feels Kayla needs to eat but Kayla says not yet. Kayla then reveals that the board is pressuring her to fire Marlena.

John questions Marlena being attacked by Belle. Marlena confirms she attacked Johnny too. Marlena brings up Belle’s eyes glowing. John asks where she is now. Marlena informs him that she’s upstairs, tied up like she was. Marlena blames herself because the Devil came after her and when he couldn’t control her, he went after Belle. John says something about this doesn’t make any sense here as he spent far too much time with Belle the night after the exorcism, so he would’ve seen the signs. Marlena thinks the Devil knew that and stayed away from him. John asks why he’d show himself now. Marlena explains that Susan came back to town to warn her about him and found Belle wearing a coat with “666” on it. John can’t buy it and needs to see Belle himself. Marlena says he can’t talk to her as she’s sedated him. John asks if she’s alone. Marlena informs him that Johnny is with her and is the one that stopped Belle from hurting her by knocking her unconscious. Marlena doesn’t know what would’ve happened if Johnny hadn’t been there.

The Devil says things would go more smoothly if Belle never woke up and the people of Salem would believe the Devil died with her. He then begins choking Belle until John walks in with Marlena and questions what the hell Johnny is doing. John points out that he had his hands around Belle’s neck. Johnny claims that he was checking her pulse. John tells him to stay away from her. John checks on Belle and asks if Shawn knows about this. Marlena says not yet as she wanted to talk to John before telling him. John says now he knows and Belle is going to need Shawn. Marlena informs John that Eli was shot by a drug dealer and it’s critical, so Shawn is in charge of that case and he has to be there for Julie. John insists that he needs to know. Johnny claims that they thought the fewer people that know, the better. John argues that Johnny doesn’t call the shots and they don’t even know that she’s possessed. Johnny brings up what Belle did. John says before he accepts that they are dealing with the Devil again, he’s going to make damn sure that Belle’s behavior wasn’t caused by something else…

Steve tells Kayla that it’s bad enough that the board want Marlena gone but now they want Kayla to fire her. Craig comes over and questions why they would fire Marlena. Steve calls it a private conversation. Kayla recognizes Craig and reminds Steve who he is. Steve apologizes and says it’s been awhile. Kayla assumes that Craig and Nancy came in to see Chloe. Craig reveals they are no longer together. Kayla says she’s sorry. Leo Stark then appears and announces he is Craig’s new boyfriend.

Chad can’t believe that Chloe’s dad is suddenly gay and dating Leo Stark. Will and Sonny confirm it and explain that they tried to get through to Craig but it didn’t work. Sonny feels they have to do something but it won’t be easy because Craig hasn’t been out that long and Leo is very attentive. Will tells Chad that they need his help. Chad questions what he can do.

Brady tells Chloe that Sonny and Will know Leo better than anyone so if Sonny says he has a way get Craig to see Leo’s true colors, he believes him. Chloe wants to but brings up how Craig was on the phone today and said he’s never been happier in his life than with Leo. Brady comments on knowing about the illusion of happiness and brings up his relationships with Theresa and Kristen. They relate about wanting to believe things are true. Brady remarks that sometimes the worst part is that the real thing is staring at you right in the face.

Kayla questions Craig and Leo dating. Leo says it’s more than that, they’re in love which Craig confirms. Steve says he’s sorry if he doesn’t say congratulations but they still remember what Leo did to Sonny and Will. Craig gives his word that Leo is a changed man. Kayla tells Craig that it was nice running in to him. Craig asks again why the board would fire Marlena. Leo points out that being possessed by the Devil had to be a game changer.

Marlena knows John hates this but says Belle is definitely possessed. Johnny talks about seeing Belle’s eyes and says if that’s not proof, he doesn’t know what is. John wants to see it for himself. Devil Johnny touches Belle’s hand as John opens her eyes and sees the yellow eyes. Marlena asks what they are going to do. John says he’s tried to get a hold of Eric but he’s not getting back to him, so if there’s going to be another exorcism, he’s going to have to do it himself. Johnny argues that he’s not really a priest. John argues that the priesthood didn’t save Marlena all those years ago, it was their love for one another and now that same love has to save their child.

Kayla tells Leo not to believe everything he reads. Leo asks if Marlena didn’t get possessed then. Kayla argues that she didn’t say that. Steve says Marlena and John are their close friends so they are not going to discuss something Leo read about them. Leo says he’s sorry if he hit a nerve. Craig admires Kayla sticking by her friend and colleague, but he remembers how tough the board can be from when he was chief of staff. Leo thanks Craig for smoothing over the situation. Leo says they have to get going to the Brady Pub. Craig suggests they all get together sometime. Leo promises the topic of the Devil won’t come up. Leo suggests a double date this weekend. Kayla says they are so busy so they’ll have to check their calendars. Craig says some other time then as he and Leo walk away. Kayla guesses what her mom used to say is true, that there is a lid for every pot.

Sonny tells Chad that Craig won’t believe a word they or Chloe say about Leo, so they have to show him to his own eyes what a degenerate this guy is. Chad asks how he fits in. Sonny says if there’s one thing Leo likes as much as money or more, it’s sex. Will believes Leo is a sex addict. Chad questions why they care. Sonny says they have to understand Leo’s weaknesses to exploit them. Chad asks how they propose they do that. Sonny suggests offering Leo his two biggest temptations, sex and money, in one great looking package..

Steve can’t believe that a man at Craig’s age would fall for a creep like Leo Stark. Steve thinks Craig is brave for coming out at this point in life but questions him choosing a guy like Leo. Kayla agrees that it’s not a great match. Kayla asks Steve to tell her to keep her voice next time when talking about work. Steve feels it’s no big deal that Craig overheard them. Kayla brings up hearing how Craig pulled every dirty trick in the book to steal the Chief of Staff job away from Mike Horton. Steve asks if she’s worried that Craig would come after her job. Kayla says no but she wouldn’t put anything past him, especially now that he’s hooked up with a con man like Leo Stark.

Craig and Leo go to the Brady Pub. Craig can’t stop thinking about the board wanting to fire Marlena. Leo talks about Marlena becoming possessed. Craig points out that Marlena is still highly respected. Craig tells Leo that he loves him but he just wishes Chloe would find a way to accept them. Leo assures that she will come around.

Chloe thanks Brady for being her friend and sounding board through all of this when none of this mess is his problem. Chloe tells Brady that he can bail anytime he wants. Brady assures he will never do that and brings up the personal drama that she has seen him through. Brady talks about Chloe running the office and taking care of him when he got out of the hospital last year. Brady mentions that his daughter Rachel is crazy about her. Chloe assures that she will always be here for him. Brady doesn’t know what he did to deserve Chloe coming back in to his life like she has, but he’s so grateful that she has. They get close but John comes home, interrupting them. Brady asks how San Francisco was. John says he’s sorry but he can’t talk about it right now.

Johnny returns to the bedroom where Marlena informs him that John went to get the stuff he needs for the exorcism. Johnny says he still can’t get over seeing Belle that way and what she was capable of with the Devil inside of her. Marlena says they have to get her back. Johnny hopes John is able to save her soul before it’s too late…

John gathers his things while Brady asks if everything is okay. John claims he’s just working on a case and had to pick up some stuff. John says goodnight and exits. Brady is pretty sure John wasn’t telling him the truth and wonders what it is now. Brady brings up that he hopes Chloe didn’t think he was coming onto her before John came in. Brady says she knows how he feels about her but he knows she’s hung up on Philip. Chloe reveals that maybe she’s not. Chloe hopes that Philip is okay where ever he is but thinks it might be time to let him go.

Craig finishes a martini as Leo comments on him being quiet. Leo guesses he’s thinking about Chloe which he confirms. Leo wishes he would give him a chance to prove how much he loves him. Craig then gets a text from one of his friends at the hospital, informing him that Nancy has been informed them of their divorce and the reason. Leo questions why she would do that. Craig understands she’s hurt and angry. Craig says it wouldn’t be a problem but Nancy is beloved at the hospital, so if anyone thinks he treated her poorly, his career could take a hit and they could fire him for this. Craig adds that it could freeze him out of important social circles which would end his career. Leo asks who says they have to go back to New York. Craig says that’s where his career is. Leo reminds him that he said he started his career in Salem so he asks what if he comes back to pick up where he left off.

Chad questions Sonny and Will wanting to offer Leo better sex and money than he’s getting from Craig. Chad asks if they want to hire someone to pretend to be a rich guy hot for Leo. Will and Sonny say Leo would be on to that and recognize a fellow con man so it has to be the real deal. Chad says that will be pretty hard to find but Sonny says maybe not as they look to Chad.

Johnny advises Marlena to take care of herself. Marlena claims she’s fine. Johnny suggests she go get something to eat but Marlena says she’s not hungry and she’s not leaving Belle until John gets back. The Devil wonders to himself if he should get rid of Marlena right now since she’s starting to bore him and he could blame it on Belle and tell John that she broke free of the restraints. Johnny prepares to grab Marlena from behind but John returns. Johnny offers to do anything he can to help. John responds that the best thing he can do right now is leave them alone. Johnny shouts that he just said that Belle needs people around who love her. John explains that he’s telling him that he has to leave because he doesn’t want the Devil making him his next host. Johnny claims he’s not afraid and that he loves Belle. Marlena tells him that John is right that the fewer people in the room, the better. Johnny offers to stand far away but John tells him to just go downstairs and wait. Johnny realizes he can’t change their minds so he leaves the room. Marlena says she’s never actually seen this done before and has only been on the receiving end. Marlena asks what John wants her to do. John responds that he wants her to leave the room too.

Devil Johnny walks in to the living room and complains that if he’s not there when the ritual starts, John is going to find out that Belle is not possessed and they are going to figure out the truth. The Devil declares that he has to do something to get back in to the room. He then gets an idea and calls Shawn to ask him to come over right away because something has happened to Belle.

Brady questions Chloe being ready to give up on Philip. Chloe says sometimes you just have to face the reality and the reality is that she doesn’t know where he is or if he’s coming back. Chloe thinks she just has to accept that maybe Philip is dead and she doesn’t know who got to him or why. Chloe says maybe it was Kristen since she escaped around that time, but she knows it wasn’t Brady. Brady is relieved. Chloe is tired of living her life in limbo. Brady understands she’s had so much to deal with lately. Chloe says that’s what made her think about this. Chloe talks about how Craig lived his entire life in denial and she doesn’t want to live like that, denying what she feels for Brady. Brady tells her how long he’s waited to hear that and asks if she’s sure. Chloe talks about him being so patient and gentle with her. Chloe thinks it’s always been Brady as they then kiss.

Craig tells Leo that he loves New York and asks why he would want to leave that to come back here. Leo encourages that he’d be a big fish in a small pond. Leo brings up the board wanting Kayla to fire Marlena but if Kayla stands her ground, her job could be in trouble. Leo tells Craig that if they play their cards right, Craig could once again become Chief of Staff at Salem University Hospital.

Chad questions Will and Sonny how they plan to get a guy to come on to Leo. Sonny explains that it would have to be someone who Leo has already come on to, who wouldn’t have to sell himself. Chad questions why they are looking at him like that and what they want him to do. Will and Sonny want Chad to make Leo’s wildest dreams come true, by going to bed with him.
