[ Brooke sighs ]

Brooke: I wish I could just wake up and have all this be a really bad nightmare. You over at steffy’s with taylor and not here with me. But it happened because of the terrible choices that I made. And I hurt you. I let you down. And I don’t even know why. Or how.

Thomas: How did you do it?

How did you get brooke drunk?

Sheila: So I bought a bottle

of champagne that was real

and I switched the labels.

Brooke didn’t have a clue.

Steffy: No daydreaming allowed. That sketch isn’t going to draw itself, you know.

Thomas: Hey, steff. How’s it going?

Steffy: Seems like you’re thinking about something. What’s on your mind?

Zende: It means a lot that you support my having a future with your daughter.

Grace: You are the perfect – the only – man for paris.

Zende: I’m not saying that I don’t agree. I’m just surprised by your sense of urgency. You said that I need to make a move on paris before it’s “too late.” What do you mean?

Grace: Whatever this is

between you and paris,

it ends today.

Or I’m going to the forresters.

Paris: I could stay right here in your arms.

Carter: Yeah. Huh. I don’t want to let you go either. But we have to stop.

Grace: You know my daughter. She’s an extraordinary, young woman.

Zende: She sure is.

Grace: She’s smart, she’s intelligent, independent.

Zende: Not to mention, gorgeous.

Grace: But I doubt you’re the only one that thinks that.

Zende: Is there another man in paris’ life?

Grace: No.

Zende: You sound sure about that.

Grace: I am. Because the only man for paris is standing right here in front of me.

Paris: This moment is too perfect to do anything but go with it.

Carter: I’m just saying, paris–

Paris: No. Don’t think. Don’t say. Don’t look for problems. Just be here with me now. Look. I– I understand. You think your track record with women is not the best.

Carter: It’s horrendous.

Paris: Doesn’t mean that that’ll apply to us. Maybe I’m the one who’ll break the pattern.

Carter: If only.

Paris: There you go again, thinking that this’ll be a dead end, but I disagree. And for the record? I’d do anything to be with you.

Steffy: What is going on with you? You look so serious and intense.

Thomas: Just thinking.

Steffy: Oh, I see. You’re experiencing an unfamiliar strain on your brain.

[ Chuckles ]

Thomas: Ha-ha.

Steffy: I don’t get– mom and dad are getting closer. You should be as thrilled as I am. He finally sees brooke for who she truly is.

Brooke: I so regret what I did to us.

Ridge: I, I didn’t come here to make you feel bad. I came here because I wanted to see you and to make sure that you’re okay.

[ Scoffs ]

Brooke: You wanted to make sure I wasn’t drinking.

Ridge: Yes, I– so much more than that. You’re with me all the time. I carry you in my heart. If you have type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure

Zende: I am not sure-what I did to inspire your confidence in me, but I appreciate it. It’s nice, having the reinforcement.

Grace: I just want my baby girl to have the very best things in life. And that includes a man of integrity who’ll put her first. I see the way you look at paris, and I know her heart is safe with you. I know that you care about her and that you will love her in a way that she deserves to be loved.

Zende: For the rest of my life. I was ready to make things official on new year’S. I had the ring and everything.

Grace: Obviously you– you didn’t propose.

Zende: I had the wrong take on where we were as a couple. I thought we were on the same page about our future. That paris wanted to get married. But then she started saying all these things that made it very clear she wasn’t there yet. Paris is about that single life. So… I didn’t bring out the ring. It’s still so hard to believe. I mean, I pay attention to things. I can’t believe I was so far off base. It makes me think that something changed in paris. I just don’t know what.

Grace: You know what I think?

Zende: Tell me.

Grace: You need to get that ring, find paris, and go through with the proposal this time.

Carter: You shouldn’t say things like that.

Paris: What, you mean the truth? That I’d risk everything to have these moments with you? I would. Your turn.

Carter: My turn. Okay. Ah, truth is that I can’t get enough of you. Even though I know for so many reasons it’s wrong for us to be together.

Paris: But how can something that feels so right be wrong?

Carter: Paris, you literally take my breath away.

Paris: Ooh, yeah. That’s more like what I wanted to hear.

Carter: But I’m telling you that this– us… it can’t be. You deserve a man who can give you the best of everything. That’s not me. It’s zende.

Steffy: I think you’re forgetting the magnitude of brooke’s betrayal. Dad begged her not to let deacon in. He warned her that this would cause trouble in their marriage. Fast forward: New year’s eve. They’re drinking, kissing, and sleeping in our father’s bed. That’s like a huge slap in his face. That is the most disrespectful thing brooke has done and that is saying a lot.

Thomas: And I do agree, but-

Steffy: No, there’s no buts, thomas. Brooke should have stayed away from deacon.

[ Steffy sighs ] Look, I don’t mean to snap at you. It just kills me when people excuse brooke’s behavior. Yes, she was drinking with deacon, but that doesn’t make her blameless. You get that, right?

Brooke: It means so much to me that despite everything I’ve done, how badly I’ve messed up, you still care about me.

Ridge: Well, I can’t help it. You’re part of me. That’s never going to change.

Brooke: I’ve done a lot of soul searching about why I self-destruct. And–

[ Scoffs ] I still haven’t figured out why I haven’t grown or learned anything from my mistakes. I mean, why? Am I just going to self-sabotage for the rest of my life? Why can’t I change?

Ridge: I don’t have an answer for you.

Brooke: You forgave me for bill. And I told you that would never happen again. And then I did the same thing with deacon. That’s just who I am.

[ Sighs ] I want you to be happy, ridge. I do. I mean, truly happy.

[ Sighs ] That’s why I’m going to say this. Even though it truly kills me. But I am… I’m gonna let you go. Dawn is flipping the way america does dishes.

Grace: I can’t say why paris pulled back on your relationship. Sometimes people get scared when they care too much. But I can tell you what I do know. Paris loves you, zende.

Zende: I used to think so. But I’m not so sure anymore.

Grace: Well, then get sure. And stop holding back. You need to claim your future. Because if you wait too long, it will pass you by. I don’t want that, and you don’t want that. I want the best man for my daughter. And that’s you, zende. So, you go get that ring.

Zende: But paris does not want to get married.

Grace: Correction. “Didn’T.” I talked to my daughter. You propose to paris and she’ll say yes – I’m certain of it. She’ll be your wife.

Paris: Why do you keep pushing me at zende?

Carter: Because he’s the better man for you.

Paris: What if I don’t agree?

Carter: Then I’ll have to work harder at convincing you. You deserve a life full of love and happiness, okay? Career, 2.5 kids, and a big old mansion to raise them in. Zende’s a forrester. He can give you that and more.

Paris: Carter–

Carter: I’m serious. I’ll only drag you down.

Paris: You’ll never get me to believe that.

Carter: Have you actually thought about what it would cost you to be with me? Your job here at forrester, your friends here in L.A. Peaceful existence with your mother. I don’t want to be responsible for that, paris, so forget about me. If zende proposes, do yourself a favor. Accept.

Steffy: It would be unthinkable to me that you in any way would justify brooke’s behavior with deacon. So, please tell me that’s not happening.

Thomas: Of course not. Not with all of her behavior, anyway.

Steffy: What part do you think is okay?

Thomas: Nothing. I don’t think anything was okay. But she was drinking.

Steffy: [ Scoffs ] That’s not an excuse!

Thomas: I know.

Steffy: Dad finally had enough. He came back to mom where he belongs. Do you want him to be happy?

Thomas: How do you even ask that question?

Steffy: Good. Then case closed. Let him be happy with mom.

Brooke: I get why taylor feels like sanity to you after all this emotional chaos that I’ve caused. No more scandals with her. You know, she’s steady and she’s predictable.

[ Ridge sighs ]

Brooke: In a good way.

[ Sighs ] And I’m not. I mean, you want to be able to trust your partner, right? And I can’t seem to give that to you, so…

Ridge: I– I wanted all that stuff with deacon to go away. I wanted everything to be fine. I– I–

Brooke: It’s unfair of me even to ask you to try, ridge. I’m not going to. I love you. And I always will. More than anything. And that’s why I’m doing this. That’s why I’m willing to letting you go.

[ Sighs ] I will give you a divorce. Go with simparica trio it’s triple protection made simple!

Paris: I– I care about zende. He is a wonderful guy. And yeah, at some point I did think we’d have a future together.

Carter: You still can.

Paris: No, I can’T. Because something happened in the meantime that changed everything.

Carter: Oh, paris…

Paris: No. Okay, let’s just get clear on this so we can stop going around in pointless circles. You happened, carter. At a certain point, we noticed each other in a different way, and nothing has ever been the same since. You can’t deny it.

Carter: I wouldn’t even try.

Paris: I’ve never met a man who touches me on such a deep level.

Carter: And I’d never met a woman like you. A woman ready to risk everything for me, paris, I just wanna sweep you in my arms and never let you go. But it is so complicated. And there’s so many people who would never understand or accept our relationship.

Paris: I don’t care about other people!

Carter: You should. They’re central to your life.

Paris: Not like you.

[ Sighs ]

Carter: When you look at me like that you make me almost believe it’s possible.

Paris: Okay, then believe it, carter. It’s in our hands. All we have to do is make it happen.

Carter: And what about the life you made happen here? The one that forrester made possible? You ready to throw that away? Paris, the family embraced you, with zende, and in your own right.

Paris: Okay, and I’m– I’m so grateful. And I love my job. But I love you more.

Carter: You love me?

Paris: Yeah. I said it. I love you. Now what?

Carter: I love you, too.

[ Laughs ]

[ Knocking on door ]

Grace: Carter, it’s grace buckingham.

[ Knocking ] Open this door now!

Steffy: Brooke is done. Dad can never be happy with her – not after the way she behaved with deacon. There is no excuse for what brooke did. None.

Brooke: I cherish our life together, ridge. I do. And I would do anything to get it back. I just realize that that’s not possible after I carried on with deacon that night. I mean, I see that now. Now that we’ve had a chance to be apart. But I am so, so grateful for all of the times that we did spend together. And our wonderful adventures and moments. And I’ll never forget it.

[ Sighs ] It’s just– I messed up. And it will never be for us. So I have to just… I have to let you go. I’m not going to fight this. I’m not.

Ridge: I’m trying to wrap my head around this.

Brooke: Well, I, uh… I don’t want you to feel obligated or, you know. I just… I want you to feel okay about this, so I’m willing to make this divorce just painless. You know, quick and easy and simple.

Ridge: You’re really saying that?

Brooke: Yeah, I’m really saying that. Because you told me you can’t be with me anymore, so why not be with somebody that you care about? Really, like, taylor. You know. Your other family. Just go. Go, be with them, ridge.

Ridge: How did we get here?

Brooke: I don’t know. But I certainly don’t blame you. I don’T. I just know that I messed up and I’m so sorry. I am– I’m so, so sorry. Because I love you. I– [ Sobs ] Please. You have to know how much I love you. I will never, never stop loving you.

Thomas: What you did was wrong, sheila.

Sheila: No, brooke kissing deacon. That’s what was wrong.

Thomas: You got her drunk.

Sheila: Yes, I did. And I take full responsibility for that. But everything else that happened new year’s eve, you can blame that on brooke.

Thomas: My dad has been so messed up over this and I was this close to telling him.

Sheila: Yeah, but you didn’T. You kept your mouth shut because we both know your father’s much better off without brooke.

[ Brooke sighs ]

[ Door knocking ]

Brooke: Come in. Ridge. It’s good to see you. What are you doing here?

Grace: You don’t have to say a word. I can tell from the look on your face.

Zende: I’m that easy to read, huh?

Grace: Zende, I would never want to put you on the spot.

Zende: No, it’s okay. You’re paris’ mom. You can be straight with me.

Grace: Let’s just say I know love when I see it. And you’re still in love with my daughter.

Paris: Look, I– I know I surprised you by coming over but carter, I just can’t stay away from you.

Grace: She wanted to see you. The model who just left.

Zende: Sequoiah.

Grace: She’s beautiful.

Zende: No argument here.

Grace: Sequoiah was interested in going on a date tonight but you didn’t say yes.

Zende: I still have a lot of work I gotta get done. I didn’t want to commit to plans just to cancel later.

Grace: Is that all it is, zende? Because it’s fairly clear to me, the woman you really want to be with is paris.

Paris: You’re the man I really want to be with. I can’t pretend that that’s not true.

Carter: You heard what zende was saying.

Paris: He knows how I feel.

Carter: Not about me.

Paris: No, but he knows that I want to keep things loose and casual. Only you know how I feel about you.

Carter: Zende considers me a friend, paris. Do you know what people would think?

Paris: We’re not doing anything wrong so can we just stop focusing on everyone else and just focus on you and me?

Ridge: I thought I’d pick up some clothes.

Brooke: Oh, okay. Um. Well, I, I could have them sent to you if you’re not comfortable being here.

Ridge: I’m comfortable. Like, driving up here everything looked so nice. Flowers and… flowers and– I could’ve sent somebody over here to pick up my stuff, I could’ve waited for you to go to work. I came by because I wanted to see you. I’m worried about you.

Sheila: You made a wise decision, thomas.

Thomas: Yeah, I’m not so sure about that.

Sheila: Why not? And what’s the problem? Your parents are finally having the opportunity to find joy together again after all these years. Do you really want to be the one responsible for taking that away from them? From you and steffy, their grandkids?

Thomas: You set brooke up. You put this whole thing in motion. Why would I keep it a secret? I brought in ensure max protein,

Grace: I’m rooting for you, zende. I believe you can make my daughter very happy.

Zende: I’d like to think so, but I appreciate paris being honest with me, telling me that she wants to keep things casual, date other people.

Grace: My understanding is you both agree to it. But it seems you’re ready to be exclusive.

Zende: I am. But… I guess I read things wrong. I didn’t realize that paris and I weren’t on the same page until she told me. Now I’m just going with the flow. I do appreciate the time I get to spend with her. And if things are meant to happen with paris, cool. But if not–

Grace: Don’T. Don’t give up just yet.

Zende: Has paris shared anything with you? Do you know if she’s seeing someone else?

Grace: End it with

paris or I’ll go to ridge.

Carter: It’s over.

Grace: Good.

Zende: Grace, do you know something that I don’t? Is paris involved with some other guy?

Paris: No. Don’t tell me we have to stop doing this. You deserve joy and fulfillment and so do I.

Carter: I know. I know, I know. But paris, if we have to sneak around–

Paris: Maybe we don’t have to.

Carter: There’s so much at stake.

Paris: What’s at stake is our happiness. Look, I don’t want to hurt zende, either but I can’t shut off my feelings. And no matter how hard you try to, neither can you.

Brooke: So I guess you’re still staying at steffy’s?

Ridge: Yeah.

Brooke: Okay. Well, I’m not going to keep you from doing what you came to do.

Ridge: Are you okay?

Brooke: Uh, I’m getting by.

Ridge: Hey, don’t do that. I know we’re not together anymore, but… I love you, I’m always gonna love you.

Brooke: And I’m always going to love you.

Ridge: I get it. The timing of this is, it’s awful.

Ridge: I came here because I want to make sure you’re not unsupported.

Brooke: No. I’m– hope is right down there, you know? She’s doing wonderful–

Ridge: No, she– yeah, she– she’ll– she’ll do whatever she can and so will I.

Brooke: Thank you.

Ridge: You’ve been doing a great job with your sobriety and trying to stay on top of things and I just want to make sure you keep doing that. It only takes one moment of weakness.

Brooke: I know.

Sheila: Brooke doesn’t care about you. Why are you defending her?

Thomas: She is an alcoholic. What you did isn’t fair.

Sheila: When has she ever been fair to me? To your mother?

Thomas: I’ve had issues with brooke in the past but she is an alcoholic and you duped her into drinking. You know how evil that is?

Sheila: I really thought it was quite brilliant. Yeah, I got so much more than I bargained for.

Thomas: Brooke thought she was drinking non-alcoholic champagne that night. How did you trick her?

Sheila: Like I said, the least you know, the better.

Thomas: No, I wanna know.

Sheila: You know what? This is just gonna remain a mystery because I am not gonna tell you my methods.

Thomas: Sheila, tell me exactly what you did to brooke right now. Hi, I’m karen.

Zende: Has paris shown interest in other guys?

Grace: I don’t believe she’s seeing anyone.

Zende: Not that she doesn’t have every right to. Paris can do whatever she wants. She made it clear that she didn’t want to be exclusive with me.

Grace: But that could all change in a heartbeat, you never know.

Zende: Paris is aware that I’ve been out on some dates. She does not seem to mind.

Grace: My daughter has always been very popular and vibrant and self-assured, ever since she was a little girl singing in the choir.

[ Laughs ]

Zende: From choir to dodger games, huh?

Grace: Exactly. My girl is a force. And that may be intimidating to some men. But you, zende, you’re the kind of man that’s worthy of a woman like paris. And I don’t need to tell you. You already know. So don’t let her slip away. Make a move before it’s too late.

Thomas: How did you do it? How did you get brooke drunk?

Sheila: Magic.

Thomas: I’m not kidding. Tell me now.

Sheila: You know, it really doesn’t matter. What’s done is done and it isn’t going to change a thing.

Thomas: If you don’t tell me right now, I’m going to go straight to my father and tell him.

Sheila: You wouldn’t dare.

Thomas: Try me. I am done playing games. Spit it out.

Sheila: I really don’t like being backed into a corner. But, okay, you want to know? I’ll tell you. So I went to il giardino and I overheard brooke talking about how wonderful the non-alcoholic champagne was that eric served during christmas. She ordered a bottle to be delivered to her house for new year’s eve. And it got me thinking. So I bought a bottle of champagne that was real. And I switched the labels. Brooke didn’t have a clue.

Thomas: You switched the labels.

Sheila: Yeah, it really was some of my finest work.

Brooke: It just consumes me, this desperate need to understand what drove me to destroy my entire life.

Ridge: I know it’s killing you. It’s killing me too. But I’m not going to turn my back on you and the fight you’re in, the pain you’re feeling.

Brooke: I made such a mess of us. And I know that you have sympathy for me, at least the fact that I was drinking–

Ridge: It’s not sympathy. What do you say– no, I’m not here because of pity. I’m here because I love you. I’m concerned about you, despite everything that happened. I just wanted you to stand by me, defend me. Just– I’m not here for that. I– I just wish I could take the pain away.

Brooke: I wish you could, too. But because of the choices I made that night, because I drank, I wake up every morning without you. I’ve lost the person that I… I love more than life itself.

Grace: Don’t sit back and wait for life to happen. You’ve got to act now. If you want a future with paris, don’t wait. Or you might lose her forever.

[ Paris chuckles ]

Paris: Tell me if I’m saying this way too much but you really are amazing, carter.

Carter: No, I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of hearing you say that.

Paris: Good, ’cause pi have a feeling I’ll be saying it a lot.

Carter: And I don’t think I’ve ever met a woman so… spectacular in every way. But you’re trouble.

Paris: Oh, I’m the good kind of trouble.

Carter: Is there such a thing?

Paris: You’re looking at her. How about this? We do this justice and stay present and in the moment. I mean, what we just shared was beautiful. And I don’t want to take away from it. And I want to experience it again.

Brooke: No matter how many times I say, “I’m sorry,” I know it’ll never be enough.

Ridge: Well, you don’t have to apologize anymore.

Brooke: Well, I can’t help it, ridge. I mean, I am sorry. I messed up. I’ve– I’ve made terrible choices. And I can’t blame it all on the alcohol. I mean, I have to take some kind of responsibility. I’m the one who hurt you. I let you down. I can’t blame that on anybody else.

[ Brooke sighs ]

Thomas: Brooke was sabotaged. You used her alcoholism as a weapon against her.

Sheila: Yeah, well she had it coming. You have no idea the threats that she’s made against me, vowing to keep me away from my son.

Thomas: You can hate her all you want, sheila, but to plot revenge like this? To deliberately undermine a person’s sobriety?

Sheila: Yeah well, she had it coming. You know what? She– she’s hanging by a thread, by a very dirty, thin, little thread.

Thomas: My son was there. What if brooke had gotten behind the wheel? She would have been driving under the influence.

Sheila: Well, you know what? It didn’t happen. None of that happened. No one got hurt. Except for brooke… and her marriage that is suffering deeply.

Thomas: Stay away from brooke. You are not to mess with her any longer. You hear me?

Sheila: I just lit the match. Brooke’s the one that started the dumpster fire. She could have told deacon to leave but she didn’T. No. She put her lips on his, betraying your father and the vows that she made to him. This was her fault and now she’s paying the price. And it’s a price that can only benefit you, thomas! I know you want to see your parents back together again. And I know how much taylor adores ridge. And your sister has been trying so desperately to reunite them. And now that can happen, because of me.

Thomas: You went too far, sheila.

Sheila: No, it’s now or never. This is your chance to save your father, to rid him of brooke permanently. You don’t think that she’ll cheat on him again? Because, you know she will, and she doesn’t need my influence to do it. This is your chance to keep your family together. All you have to do is keep quiet. No one can know about this. Not taylor, ridge or brooke. They can never know about any of this. We have to keep this between us, thomas. This has to be our secret. And you’ve got to take it to your grave.

[ Thomas sighs ]

General Hospital Updates

Update written by Kathleen
Proofread by Suzanne

Michael and Willow are at The Savoy. Willow tells Michael that she messed up.

At Sonny’s apartment, he tells Nina that it’s the anniversary of his sister’s death. He assures her that he isn’t going on a bender. She tells him they have to talk about their grandson.

Alexis tells Diane that she is enjoying her new job. She tells her that she invited Harmony to join them,  and instructs Diane to “be nice.”

At the hospital, Maxie talks to Austin. He starts to kiss her when they are interrupted by Mac clearing his throat, loudly.

At the Metro Court, Gladys scrambles toward the elevator. She leaves a voice mail for Brando, telling him not to rush into anything. When Carly gets off the elevator, Gladys tells her that Brando is about to make the biggest mistake of his life and she’s going to help her stop him.

Sasha and Brando impatiently wait on the car to be repaired, so they can hurry and get to the wedding chapel.

Carly refuses to help Gladys stop the wedding. Gladys tells her that if she won’t help, she’ll ask Sonny. Carly insists that she drive her because she’s been drinking.

Nina tells Sonny that she is suing for visitation rights with Wiley. He doesn’t blame her for doing what she needs to do for her family, but he tells her not to do that.

Harmony approaches Diane’s and Alexis’ table. She thanks them for letting her join them. Diane steps away from the table to get drinks. Harmony spots Willow and Michael across the room and walks over to them. They thank her for getting the birth certificate.

Back at the hospital, Felicia and Mac tell Maxie and Austin that Mac’s checkup went well. Felicia asks if they’re an item now. Maxie says that their relationship is new. Mac wants to get to know Austin better, which he says in a protective father tone. Maxie apologies for him as they walk away. Austin asks about the box Maxie is carrying. She says it’s something she needs his help with – she needs to get rid of Peter.

In the elevator, Felicia and Mac discuss their concern over Maxie getting into a relationship too soon. Mac says he will keep an eye on Austin to make sure he stays in line.

At the car repair shop, Brando and Sasha learn that their car needs a new fuel pump, and it won’t be ready until tomorrow. Brando says he may know a way to temporarily fix it. The mechanic tells him that he can try. After he leaves, Sasha pulls pills out of her purse.  She stares at the pills and then puts them back in her purse. She pulls her phone out, but it says, “no service.” She flashes back to the conversation earlier in the car about hearing wedding bells. She pulls the pills out again and takes one. Brando walks up from behind and says her name.

At the Metro Court, Robert tells Anna that she has nothing to feel guilty about with regards to Peter. She tells him she’s now worried about what Victor might do.

Maxie gives the box to Austin and says that it’s Peter’s effects, but Brit didn’t want them. She asks if he’ll dispose of them, and he replies, “no problem.” He starts to kiss her when Liesel comes up and pushes him away, telling him to stay away from Maxie.

Harmony asks Willow if she has her passport yet. She says no, but she has an appointment for them to look at her birth certificate and application, to expedite getting it.

Diane points out an attractive man at the bar staring at Alexis. Just then, he walks over and asks if he can buy her a drink. She tells him she already has a drink.

Sonny tells Nina not to do anything drastic. He asks her to let him talk to Michael first. Nina reminds him what an influence Carly has over Michael. He assures her that she doesn’t have to worry about Carly. There is a knock at the door. It’s Carly and Gladys.

Liesel reminds Austin and Maxie of the problems Austin caused with Peter. Maxie asks Liesel to forgive him.

Diane gets on Alexis for turning down the man’s offer. Alexis tells her that she’s not interested in having anything to do with any man right now.

Willow tells Michael about her conversation with Nina at the hospital. She admits that she she snapped and went too far, so now Nina is going to pursue her legal rights with Wiley. Michael says that he won’t let her near their son.

Gladys apologizes for “crashing” Nina and Sonny’s date. Nina corrects her, saying that it’s not a date. Sonny and Carly tell Gladys that they won’t help her stop the wedding because it’s not their business. Nina takes Glady’s side, saying that they owe it to Brando and Sasha to make sure that they’re getting married for the right reasons.

Brando, disappointed, tells Sasha that the car can’t be fixed until tomorrow. Sasha wants to call a ride share service, instead, to take them to the chapel. She’s worried that if they don’t get married that night, they never will. The mechanic overhears them. He tells them he is an ordained minister and offers to marry them.

Having drinks at the Metro Court, Robert, Anna, Mac, and Felicia discuss Drew and Dante having a plan to trap Victor. Felicia tells them if that fails, she and Anna have a plan.

Young & The Restless Update

Recap written by Christine

At Crimson Lights, Victoria was short with Nikki, leading Nikki to say she wasn’t the enemy. Victoria was furious because her parents weren’t accepting that she was an adult who had the right to live her own life without interference. She accused Nikki of knowing Victor was saying Ashland faked his cancer. Nikki explained that she found out shortly before Victoria did. Victoria noted that Nikki didn’t warn her. Nikki said she was in shock, and she wanted to think it was a mistake. Victoria hoped Nikki didn’t believe these hateful and disgusting insinuations. Nikki wasn’t sure what to believe. She noted that Ashland did die about his past. She added that Ashland acted like he’d just happened upon this clinic in Peru, when he’d actually been funding it for years. Victoria suggested she found it easy to forgive Ashland’s transgressions because she’d had to do the same thing for Victor so often. Nikki said all Victor ever tried to do was protect Victoria, even if his method wasn’t perfect. Nikki stated that Victor was trying to protect Victoria now too. “By going after my husband, he’s already lost me,” Victoria replied.

It broke Nikki’s heart that Victoria was talking like her relationship with Victor was irreparable. She asked if Victoria really thought Victor could make something like this up. Victoria pointed out that Victor was known to do underhanded things. She reminded Nikki that when Ashland had a heart attack, Victor made him sign over Newman Media before he’d call for help. Victoria asked if Victor was claiming Ashland faked the heart attack too. “What if these accusations are true,” Nikki asked. “How dare you, Mother!” Victoria replied. Victoria was sure the accusation was false. She conceded that Ashland had been ruthless, just like her father, but this would require a different level of deception. “You’re saying that the man that I adore doesn’t love me. You’re saying that he’s evil and conniving and that I have been a fool all along,” Victoria stated. Nikki gently suggested that Ashland had set this plan in motion before he even met Victoria. Nikki implored Victoria to talk to Michael and hear him out. Victoria was hurt and offended – she thought Nikki, of all people would be on her and Ashland’s side. “I am on your side. As your mother, your COO and your friend!,” Nikki was near tears as she stormed off. Victoria called Michael and left him a message.

At Newman Locke, Ashland blasted someone over the phone. He didn’t want any more surprises. “You disappoint me again, it’ll be your last time,” Ashland said then he ended the call. Nate showed up, and Ashland immediately knew he’d spoken to Victor. Nate wanted to hear Ashland say that Victor was wrong. Ashland said this was a revenge plot from some enemy he’d made along the way. Nate asked who hated Ashland that much. Ashland thought it’d be easier to name the people who didn’t want his head on a platter. Ashland noted that Nate was with him through the worst parts of his illness, and he was beside Ashland when he married the woman who changed his life. Ashland understood why Victor felt this way – he was protecting his daughter, assuming that was all it was. Ashland suggested Victor’s feelings had changed because Ashland wasn’t at death’s door anymore. Ashland needed to know Nate believed him. He valued their friendship, and he hated to believe Nate was buying into this. Nate wanted to believe Ashland, because one would have to be an awful person to lie about having a fatal illness.

Ashland wasn’t going to spend more time trying to figure out Victor’s motives. He said Nate was his primary concern. Ashland had few friends – the more money he made, the more isolated he’d become. Aside from Victoria, Nate was one of Ashland’s most trusted friends. Ashland felt he could confide in Nate and be honest with him. That was part of the reason he made the impulsive decision to ask Nate to be his best man, even though they hadn’t known each other that long. Ashland asked if Nate thought he could lie about something like this. Nate said it was difficult to imagine. Ashland said people had been coming after him his entire life. Ashland thought Victor bought into this because he never really trusted Ashland. Nate had known Victor a long time, and while Nate didn’t like everything Victor did, Victor was smart and thorough. Nate said Victor wouldn’t make an accusation like this without proof. Ashland said his enemies laid this trap carefully, but he wasn’t going to allow these people to dismantle the accomplishments he’d made with the Newmans. Nate asked if Ashland saw his marriage to Victoria as an accomplishment.

Ashland didn’t see the marriage as an accomplishment. Marrying Victoria was the best thing to ever happen to him. She was the true love of his life who stood by him through so many tribulations. Nate wanted to know what Ashland was referring to as an accomplishment. Ashland snapped that he was obviously talking about the merger, which was also the crowning achievement in Victoria’s career – she imagined it and made it happen. He couldn’t be happier more more proud of her. Marrying Victoria was a gift – she made him happy, and he’d made her happy too – happier than she’d ever been, according to her. He didn’t know how much longer he had left with her, but he wasn’t going to let anyone take away one single second of that time.

Ashland said Nate had gotten a look at how rough and tumble the business world could be at the higher levels. Ashland intended to expose this sham and put an end to it so they could focus on the future – one that included Nate at Newman Locke. Victoria came in, and Ashland told her why Nate was there. Victoria was humiliated that her family was spreading this rumor. Victoria said Nate saw Ashland’s records and the toll this had taken on him. Nate said everything he saw supported this diagnosis. Victoria asked Nate to go to her father and tell him how insane this was. Nate hoped the truth came out sooner than later. Ashland said they were lucky to have Nate as a friend. He looked forward to discussing Nate’s future at Newman Locke. Nate left. Victoria was relieved Nate wasn’t buying into this nonsense. Victoria wondered why Ashland looked so upset, given that he had the chief of surgery on his side. “Victor’s protecting his daughter. I can understand that. But why he felt the need to go to my friend and poison him against me…” Ashland supposed it was better that everything was out in the open. Ashland wanted to find out who was behind the disgusting allegations. He wanted to remove any shred of doubt from Victor’s mind, and from anyone else’s. Ashland was going to put all his energy in finding out who was trying to destroy his life. He asked Victoria if she could look him in the eye and say she believed him. She promised she’d always support him. She thought they should celebrate that. She gave him the contract that would make him her co-CEO. Ominous music played as Ashland signed the contract.

Nate met Elena at Society. He told her that someone was making scandalous accusations about Ashland. Elena said Ashland was no angel, but she’d thought falling in love with Victoria would’ve changed him. She asked if he thought the accusations were true. He didn’t want to believe it. He said it would’ve been one thing if Victor had approached him with this, but it was Nick. Elena understood the gravity of the Newman with the heart of gold reaching out. Nate heard Ashland out and found him very convincing, but Nate had doubts about Ashland and about taking the job at Newman Locke.

Elena told Nate they’d focus on getting a meal now. She wasn’t going to pry for details on Ashland. She told him to trust his gut – if something felt wrong, it probably was. Nate said that was what he was afraid of. He needed to find out who was behind this.

Lauren ran into Kevin at Society and asked when he last heard from his brother. It had been almost two days since she’d heard from Michael. Kevin had done some work for Victor, off the books, and he kept his employees busy. That was why Lauren had her reservations about this job. Victor persuaded Michael it was a part time job, then he sent Michael out of the country, likely on some kind of shady business. Kevin thought there were a million reasons Michael could be out of contact – his phone was lost or broken, he didn’t have cell service, he’d gotten on a plane and turned it off. Lauren thought about all that too. Lauren said that Michael knew she’d be scared, and he’d find a way to let her know he was okay. She couldn’t shake the feeling Victor got Michael involved in something bad. Lauren believed Victor hired Michael so that he’d get attorney-client privilege. Lauren said Michael loved the idea of handling Victor’s secret projects, and she was afraid he was now paying the price.

Lauren thought Michael was doing work for Victor that would usually be done by a private investigator. Kevin was sure Michael could take care of himself. Lauren agreed, and that was why she was so worried. Kevin said he’d do some digging. Lauren was glad to hear that. Chloe arrived and she wanted to tell Lauren about Chelsea’s trip to NY. Lauren was interested, but she didn’t have time right now. She left. Kevin confided that he was worried about Michael. Kevin had predicted that if Michael went to work for Victor, it would only lead to trouble. Chloe didn’t want Kevin to let himself get pulled into Lauren’s fears about Michael. Chloe said there were a lot of mundane reasons why Michael could be out of contact. Kevin had told Lauren the same thing, but Lauren said something was off, and she was right. Kevin thought Victor chose Michael because he needed help doing something top secret and delicate. Kevin said if his brother was in trouble, he had no one to help him. Kevin thought they owed to to Michael to investigate.

Victor went to Newman Media and told Adam that Ashland called his bluff and told Victoria everything and proclaimed his innocence. Victoria believed Ashland, and she was furious with Victor. Victor said he’d been forced into the untenable position of telling his beloved daughter that she was married to a fraud. Adam said they knew Ashland’s reputation before he proposed. Victor was mad he allowed Ashland to come into their family and spin his web of deception. Adam said it wasn’t Victor’s fault. Victor said it would be if they allowed Ashland to sign the contract that made him co-CEO of Newman Locke. Victor wasn’t sure how to stop Ashland yet. Adam asked if Victor had heard from Michael. Victor hadn’t, and it bothered him terribly. He hoped Michael went into hiding. Adam thought they had to consider the possibility that Ashland countered their move and had his people stop Michael’s investigation. Victor knew he’d need irrefutable proof to get Victoria to trust him over her husband. Right now, Victor didn’t have it, and that meant Ashland was in the driver’s seat, to Victor’s chagrin.

Just before Michael went missing, he texted Victor to say he was gathering all the dirt he had on Ashland and sending it to him. Victor never received the information. It really hurt Victor to think he’d lose Victoria’s love and trust. Nikki walked in and said Victoria was furious and heartbroken. Nikki was worried about how Victoria and Victor would ever recover if Victor was wrong. Lauren arrived just in time to hear Adam say they couldn’t count on Michael to save the day. Lauren wanted answers, and she didn’t care if they had an audience. Victor sent Nikki and Adam away.

Victor said Michael was on a delicate mission, and he’d surely be home as soon as he could. Lauren wasn’t sure if Victor was covering something up, or if he didn’t want to admit he’d lost contact with Michael. Lauren asked what Victor got Michael into. Victor said it was a delicate mission that Michael could handle. Lauren said supposed to be a short fact-finding mission. She told him he made it sound like an adventure, and Michael ate it up. She thought that he forgot to tell Michael how dangerous this was. Victor said he’d never put Michael in danger. Lauren’s gut told her something was very wrong. Victor said Michael was a good friend, and if anything went wrong, he’d move heaven and earth to get him back to Lauren. Lauren thought they needed to do that now. Victor said they didn’t know anything was wrong. Lauren asked what Victor would do if Nikki fell off the radar. Victor said he’d do the same thing Lauren was doing, and if Nikki was alright, she’d ask him why he was so worried. Lauren hoped Victor was telling her the truth. “If anything happens to Michael, I will never forgive you,” she said. Lauren left.

Victor talked to someone on the phone about Michael. Victor said, not only was Michael a good friend, he had the evidence Victor needed. He told the person to get to work on finding Michael. Adam returned and said Michael was a smart guy who’d gotten himself out of some tough spots. Victor never expected Ashland to get the upper hand. He thought Ashland would do whatever he could to keep Michael quiet, especially now that his back was against the wall.

Lauren met Chloe and Kevin at Crimson Lights. Kevin hacked into Michael’s devices and hit a brick wall when he tried tracking his brother. Lauren said she thought Victor didn’t want to admit he didn’t know where Michael was. Kevin said that if they didn’t hear from Michael by morning, he was going to get his cop buddies involved.

It’s special, and that’s because of you. Knowing everyone’s orders, ask about their families. I told her about the thanksgiving tradition.

Cindy: Which is so generous and sweet. I really should have come in here before now, but, you know, I’ve got a coffee shop near work. It just seemed easier. You know how it goes. But I’m gonna start coming in here from now on because I can tell that this is just an amazing place run by an amazing woman. Must be to have raised an incredible guy like Noel.

Ashland: Not frequently.

Nate: What does that mean? Four or five times a day? Once a month?

Update written by Joseph

Allie lays on the couch at home, looking at Tripp’s number on her phone until there’s a knock at the door. Allie answers the door to see Chanel. Allie apologizes for not showing up at the bakery. Chanel says she didn’t come to give her grief, but to find out if she and Tripp found a way to work things out. Allie says that would be a no.

Shawn goes to the hospital and finds Tripp. Shawn hopes that Tripp heard from his mother. Tripp says they spoke a few days ago and asks what’s going on. Shawn reveals that Ava escaped police custody this morning.

Chad informs Belle that Gabi Hernandez is the new CEO of DiMera. Belle asks how that’s even possible Chad explains that he and Tony were out of town. Belle asks how Abigail is. Chad says she’s fine and they are very lucky, but Gabi took advantage of the situation and called a shareholders meeting then managed to vote him out and her in. Belle asks what Jake got. Chad says it was a knife in his back.

Jake explains to Ben that they called a shareholders meeting to install him as CEO of DiMera but Gabi and Johnny pulled a fast one and now Johnny is on the board, Gabi is control of the company, and he’s on his ass. Ben says he’s so sorry. Jake asks why Ben thinks Johnny would try to pull something like this off. Ben doesn’t get why Gabi would do it. Jake says he’s trying to figure that out, but he knows Johnny got in Gabi’s head that he was going to screw her over and talked her in to screwing him over first.

Devil Johnny lays in bed until Susan shows up. Johnny asks what she’s doing here. Susan responds that she’s here to see if he really is her grandson. Johnny asks who else he would be. Johnny laughs it off and says their family tree can be confusing but he’s definitely her grandson. Susan talks about tracing her ancestors back 100 years so Johnny asks her to tell him more. Susan continues but then stops and says she knows he’s trying to distract her but she won’t be distracted from her mission. Susan tells Johnny that she knows Johnny DiMera is EJ’s son, but she’s here to ask and find out if he’s really Johnny DiMera.

Ben questions Jake thinking that Johnny stole Maggie’s phone to text him and then forged his signature to sign the petition to steal Gabi’s shares. Jake says he sure as hell didn’t do it but the question is how Johnny got Gabi to believe that she overheard him telling Maggie that he would turf her to get what he wanted, when he was never with Maggie. Jake adds that Gabi claims this alleged meeting at the mansion happened at the exact time that he was with Ben. Ben offers to tell Gabi that he was with him but Jake says she won’t believe him. Ben wonders if Jake will believe him when he tells him how he thinks Johnny did this. Jake says he’s listening.

Belle says she would’ve thought Gabi and Jake would be in cahoots on a power play like this. Chad says that apparently Jake made the same assumption but he wouldn’t be the first guy who thought he could trust Gabi. Belle questions Johnny being in on this with Gabi. Chad confirms Gabi went behind Jake’s back to enlist Johnny’s help and hung her boyfriend out to dry.

Tripp questions Ava escaping and asks if it has anything to do with Rafe’s trial. Shawn says this isn’t about Rafe as Ava was being held for questioning in the disappearance of Abigail and then someone posing as Ava’s lawyer walked her out of the station. Shawn adds that he’s still trying to get to the bottom of what happened. Tripp doesn’t understand as Ava didn’t even know Abigail and questions why she would have anything to do with her disappearance. Shawn says that’s his question and he’s hoping Ava has the answer. Shawn asks Tripp to give him a call if he hears from Ava which he agrees to do. Shawn then exits the hospital.

Chanel asks Allie if the engagement is really off. Allie confirms that it is. Allie says it was bad enough at the park when Tripp told her that he’d never trust her again and asked for the ring back, but then she ran in to him at the Brady Pub with Kate and Roman. Chanel asks what happened. Allie says she told Tripp how she felt and that she loved him but Tripp pretty much just shut her down and walked away. Chanel tells her that she’s so sorry and hugs her.

Tripp calls Ava and leaves a message that he’s worried about her and to call him back when she gets this. Ciara approaches and greets him, asking if everything is okay. Tripp claims everything is fine and asks about Ciara and the baby. Ciara says she’s great and just came for her prenatal vitamins. Ciara says she won’t keep him from his work and says to give Allie all her love. Tripp tells her that she’ll have to do that herself because they broke up.

Allie apologizes to Chanel for being such a mess. Chanel says she’s seen her worse. Allie cries that she really screwed up. Chanel blames herself and says it’s all her fault. Allie argues that she was the one in a relationship and she chose to sleep with Chanel then lie about it, so no one else is to blame but her. Allie talks about when Tripp would stay over almost every night and he’d wake up early to turn off the alarm so it didn’t wake up her and Henry, then he’d make her favorite breakfast. Allie says today her alarm went off and it reminded her that she blew it with the most amazing guy she’s ever known.

Belle questions where this Gabi and Johnny alliance came from as she didn’t know they even knew each other. Chad talks about Gabi’s ability to manipulate and Johnny not being so naive since when EJ went to prison, Johnny swore they were on the same side after what EJ did to Abigail. Belle brings up EJ denying his accusation. Chad argues that he saw EJ kiss his wife and Abigail experienced it, so either they are lying or EJ is lying as there is no other explanation.

Johnny questions Susan informing him that Ben and Ciara told her that he’s possessed by the Devil. Johnny plays it off as being about his movie which is called Possessed but they both know the Devil was sent back and he was in the room when it happened. Susan talks about how the Devil could find his way out of Marlena and directly in to Johnny. Johnny argues that a lot of other people were in that room, listing Sami, Belle, Allie, Eric, John, and Brady. Johnny gets that the Devil was after Ben and Ciara’s baby so it makes sense that they are nervous, but asks why they would think it was him when he barely knows Ciara and he just met Ben. Susan brings up Johnny bringing the cross from Julie to Ben and Ciara and the cross was turning upside down again and again outside their door.

Ben reminds Jake about the cross they had hanging outside which kept turning upside down and how Johnny brought it over to them. Ben adds that Julie had an emergency that Johnny happened to be around for and volunteered to deliver the cross. Jake questions Ben thinking Johnny is possessed by the Devil. Ben knows it sounds crazy and he’s not trying to put that type of stuff out there so he knows it could land him back in Bayview. Jake feels he has a right to be paranoid. Jake says that would explain how Johnny got Gabi to believe she overheard a meeting that never happened. Jake then realizes that Johnny told him exactly how he did it.

Belle asks Chad if he was motivated to not tell the whole truth when testifying against EJ. Chad swears that it happened exactly as he said it did as he found the money trail that linked EJ to Sami’s kidnapper on his computer at DiMera, then he went to the police and reported it. Belle calls that a direct and careful answer so she wonders if there is something he’s not telling her.

Tripp informs Ciara that right after Allie accepted his proposal, he found out that she cheated on him with Chanel. Ciara doesn’t get it since just last week she and Allie were talking about how happy they were and how in love Allie was with Tripp. Ciara asks if Tripp is sure about this. Tripp confirms that Allie admitted it as she had no choice after Johnny spilled her dirty little secret. Ciara questions Johnny being the one who told him.

Chanel recalls that Allie wanted to leave that night but she begged her to stay. Allie says there was no chance she was going to leave her alone. Chanel talks about Allie always being there for her and how much that means to her. Chanel wants to be there for Allie now and holds her hand. Chanel says that night, Allie held her and made the pain go away, so she wants to do the same for her…

Tripp explains to Ciara that he just put the ring on Allie’s finger when Johnny and Chanel showed up, and instead of congratulating them, Johnny asked Allie if she told him that she slept with Chanel. Ciara calls that horrible and she can’t believe Allie’s own brother would do that to her. Tripp remarks that Johnny seems to get off on making people miserable. Tripp adds that he is grateful that Johnny told him since Allie sure wasn’t going to. Tripp apologizes since Ciara and Allie are close, so maybe he should let her tell her. Ciara says she cares about Tripp too and she’s so sorry. Tripp guesses he’s just a guy that women use until something better comes along. Ciara says that’s not true but Tripp complains that he lost Ciara to Ben and now he’s lost Allie to Chanel. Tripp apologizes, admitting that was a rotten thing to say. Tripp declares that he’s just so tired of coming in second place with women he cares about.

Allie and Chanel lean in to kiss but they stop when Nicole comes home. Chanel decides to get going and tells Allie to call her as she then exits. Nicole asks if Allie is okay. Allie says yeah and she’d rather talk about Nicole, so she asks what happened in court today. Nicole informs her that the defense rested and closing arguments wrapped up, so now Rafe’s fate is in the hands of a jury.

Belle asks if Chad held something back from his testimony. Chad appreciates how dedicated she is to EJ’s case but points out that she’s still DiMera’s general counsel, so she should focus on what they pay her for. Chad argues that if she’s not going to help him oust Gabi and reclaim his CEO position, then he will find somebody who will.

Ben questions Jake saying that Johnny told him how he did it. Jake flashes back to Johnny mocking Jake’s accusations. Jake says now that he thinks about it, Johnny almost bragged about morphing in to him. Ben asks what happened after that. Jake says things got tense and they must have mixed it up because it ended up flat on his ass but things are fuzzy. Jake admits he was wondering how some kid got the best of him. Ben suggests maybe he wasn’t fighting a kid and he got sucker punched by the Devil. Jake says that makes no sense, yet it explains everything. Ben says the question is, how do they prove that?

Susan states that an inverted cross is the mark of the Devil. Johnny insists that he’s still her same grandson so he thinks if he was possessed by The Devil, she would know it.

Ben explains to Jake that he and Ciara called Susan Banks and she’s now talking to Johnny at the DiMera Mansion. Jake questions trusting Susan. Ben reminds Jake that Susan is the reason he reunited with Ciara when everyone else thought she was dead and that Susan was one of the first people to realize the Devil was in Marlena, so if Johnny is possessed, Susan will know.

Susan tells Johnny that she’s not sure what to think. Devil Johnny flashes back to telling Susan the truth. He asks Susan if she’s okay as she looks pale. Susan doesn’t know if he’s the Devil or not because she would feel the evil but that’s not how she feels. Devil Johnny flashes back to using his power to make Susan forget that he’s the Devil and making her leave town. Johnny claims that Susan would definitely know if he was the Devil which Susan agrees with. Susan decides there is no Devil here. Johnny tells her that she can go tell Ben and Ciara that Satan is gone and there’s nothing to worry about.

Allie tells Nicole that Rafe’s trial is moving really fast. Nicole argues that all they had were the three felons who lied about Rafe setting them up and the defense had some compelling witnesses. Allie asks if Rafe’s lawyer mentioned anything about Ava setting him up. Nicole explains that she couldn’t because she didn’t have proof. Allie offers to go through Ava’s stuff but Nicole says she would never ask her to go after her boyfriend’s mother like that. Allie then reveals to Nicole that Tripp is not her boyfriend anymore.

Ciara tells Tripp that he’s a wonderful man and she loves Allie, but he does not deserve to be lied to like that. Tripp thanks her. Ciara says she’s here if he needs anything. Tripp tells her that talking to her helped. Ciara decides she should get going and jokes about Ben being overprotective. Ciara then exits the hospital. Chanel then arrives and sees Tripp.

Susan asks Johnny if he’s still divorcing Chanel. Johnny says it’s for the best and that they have both moved on. Johnny claims he’s holding out for true love and that he’s sure Roger is missing her so she should get home. Susan brings up that Johnny is getting divorced and EJ is in prison, so she worries about people she loves. Susan hugs Johnny and says she loves him so much. Susan then gets the feeling about the Devil and declares that he’s still in Salem and under this roof.

Allie tells Nicole that it’s her fault and talks about how she was getting her life together but here she is just trashing it as Nicole hugs her.

Tripp tells Chanel that he has nothing to say to her. Chanel responds that she has something to say to him. Chanel insists that Allie loves him and what they did was one time and it’s over. Chanel asks Tripp to get that through his head because walking away from Allie would be the biggest mistake of his life. Chanel insists that Allie doesn’t want her, she wants him. Chanel asks Tripp to find it in his heart to forgive her.

Ben really thought Susan would be back by now and hopes she’s okay. Jake asks if he really thinks Johnny would hurt Susan. Ben hopes not. Jake decides to get going and tells him to let him know what happens if Susan ever comes back. Ciara returns home as Jake is leaving. Ciara jokes about still not having the baby swing together. Ben explains that he was telling Jake about their Johnny theory. Ciara asks if Jake thinks they are crazy. Jake responds that he just had a run in with him himself. Jake explains that Johnny helped Gabi double cross him and then Gabi dumped him. Ciara says she’s sorry. Jake says he’ll be alright and jokes that he’s leaving Ben to assemble the swing. Jake then exits. Ciara comments that it seems that the Devil has a thing for breaking up couples, first with Paulina and Abe, then Johnny broke up with Chanel, and now Gabi and Jake while also blowing up Tripp and Allie’s engagement.

Johnny thought they settled this Devil nonsense. Belle comes out from the living room and tells Susan that she’s doing everything in her power to overturn EJ’s conviction. Susan appreciates that since EJ doesn’t deserve to do penance for the sins of others. Johnny says he agrees. Belle says she’s about to get going. Johnny reminds Belle to get her coat. Johnny’s phone rings. Susan whispers to him, asking what about the Devil. Johnny says they will talk about it later as he steps away. Belle tells Susan that she will let her know if she hears any news on EJ. As Belle walks out of the mansion, Susan sees that Belle’s coat now has “666” on the back of it. Susan then begins to shout that Belle is the Devil.

Nicole tells Allie that she didn’t trash her life, she just made a mistake. Nicole says she’s made a lot of her own mistakes, especially with love. Nicole informs Allie that she learned that if you love someone and they love you back, there’s always a chance to make it right. Allie argues that she didn’t see how angry and hurt Tripp was. Allie cries that she doesn’t think Tripp will ever give her another chance.

Tripp argues that Allie made her choice the night she slept with Chanel. Chanel blames herself for coming on to Allie. Tripp says that she didn’t make Allie lie about it. Tripp tells Chanel to stop protecting her. Tripp complains that he’s an idiot and he could see how much they meant to each other from the first time she saw them. Tripp talks about coming to Chanel to support her when Johnny dumped her, but she lied to his face, so he doesn’t want to hear another word from her and he never wants to see Allie again. Tripp then walks away.

Ben can’t believe Johnny could be so cruel to his own sister. Ciara guesses it’s all the more proof that they are not dealing with Johnny. Susan races back to them in a panic with the bible and begins to pray. Ben asks if it’s true and what the hell happened. Ciara asks if the Devil is back in Salem. Ben asks if Johnny is possessed. Susan declares that the Devil is not in Johnny, but is now in Belle Brady.

Belle goes to the police station and greets Shawn. Shawn then asks what’s on the back of her coat.

Devil Johnny talks to the portrait of Stefano and says he fooled Susan again, so now Belle is going to be busy trying to convince everybody that she’s not the Devil and she won’t have time to spring EJ from prison while he turns up the heat on his plans. Chad then walks in and questions his plans for what.

Shawn tells Belle that it looks like some ash on the back of her coat and it came right off. Shawn asks if she’s been through a fire. Belle says she just came from the DiMera Mansion, where it looked like Chad just got royally burned.

Chad questions Johnny’s plan and if he’s telling Stefano about it. Johnny thinks he’d be proud of at least one of them. Chad argues that Gabi is using him. Johnny responds that there are worse things than being used by a beautiful woman. Chad asks if he thinks this is a game. Chad warns that he’s playing with the big boys now and this isn’t over as he will take back what’s his and then he can go to Hell. Chad walks out of the room. Devil Johnny remarks that the fun is just beginning.

Young & The Restless Update

Recap written by Christine

Billy and Lily had just finished a fabulous dinner at Society. She thanked him for pulling her away from her desk. It was hard for her to stop working, especially now that they were working from home, and surrounded by their jobs. She thought it must be even worse for him, because he’d been getting up in the middle of the night to work. She knew his last recording session didn’t go how he hoped, but she urged him to relax, because there was no deadline on this project. He was going to talk to Traci about writer’s block. He was hoping Traci would have an update on Jack, because he wasn’t answering Billy’s texts. She was going to visit Devon, Dom and get her baby fix. She was also hoping to talk to Devon about the merger again. Billy didn’t think that was the best idea, and Lily wanted to know why. She asked if he was against the merger or against her trying to convince Devon. Billy said he thought the merger was genius.

Billy didn’t think Lily should pressure Devon, who’d made it clear that he wanted to focus on Dom. Lily knew her brother, and she thought she just threw too much at him too soon. Billy suggested that Devon liked his position at Hamilton Winters and didn’t want to share it, not even with Lily. Billy knew Lily and Jill were disappointed. Lily narrowed her eyes and asked if that meant Billy wasn’t disappointed the merger wasn’t happening right now. Billy really hoped Devon came around, but he didn’t think that pressuring him was the answer. Lily hoped Billy would tell her if he didn’t like the idea of the merger. She hoped he’d be transparent with her, the way she was with him about her reservations on his podcast idea. He swore he genuinely loved the idea of the merger, and he hoped Devon came around. He loved her, and he hoped this worked out exactly the way she envisioned it.

Later, Lily was at Devon’s. The baby had been crying for 20 minutes, and Devon wasn’t able to figure out the problem. Devon wondered if Dom was teething, or if this was a serious issue, related to his recovery. Lily suggested he just call the doctor, so he did. Dr. Alston thought Dom’s fussiness was a sign that he was feeling more energetic. The call ended with Devon’s relief. Lily was proud of Devon for how calm he’d stayed. He asked what brought her by. She said she just came to see Dom, but she lit up when he said he was thinking of discussing the merger. He laughed and said he knew she came by to talk about work. Lily promised Devon she wasn’t going to push it. He didn’t mind her bringing it up. He said Amanda laid out scenarios where they could bring the companies together without having to surrender control over what mattered to them. Lily thought they could work something out. Devon wasn’t so sure, but he wasn’t against it. Right now he thought they should focus on the podcast and see how that went first. She accepted that. He said he napped while Dom did earlier, and he dreamed Neil was there smiling at him. He couldn’t help feeling like it was a sign Neil approved of Lily’s idea. Lily said they could take their time, so Devon would be comfortable.

At the Abbott house, Traci called Jack, and he didn’t answer, so she called Phyllis. Phyllis said Jack was in his hotel room after a long day. Traci asked for an update. Phyllis told her about the letters from Keemo to Jack. Traci was glad Keemo’s last letter to Jack was kind. It was heartbreaking to Traci that Jack found out his son was in the US the entire time, but he never reached out to any of the Abbotts. She almost wished whoever sent the messages had left well enough alone. Phyllis said she wasn’t going to push Jack to investigate, even though someone obviously wanted him to find that box of keepsakes. Traci was glad Jack had someone with him who knew him as well as Phyllis did. Traci was curious about the other contents of the box. Phyllis said there was a scarf, postcards, a necklace Jack gave to Luan, then to Keemo after she died, and the proof of paternity Jack gave Keemo. Traci couldn’t imagine the memories this was bringing up for Jack.

Traci was delighted when Billy dropped by – she felt lucky that she got two visits from her favorite younger brother. Noting that he was her only younger brother, Billy said he was the lucky one. He asked if she talked to Jack. Traci assumed Jack turned his phone off so he could process things. She told him about her conversation with Phyllis. Billy thought it was strange that Jack found letters Keemo was writing letters to Jack without sending them. Billy thought he or Traci should’ve gone with Jack and not Phyllis, the queen of hidden agendas. Traci said Phyllis had been protective of Jack. Billy conceded that Phyllis might have Jack’s best interests at heart this time, but he expected trouble would be ahead. Later, Billy and Traci had hot chocolate. He told her how he’d been waking up every night around 2:45 AM every night and recording his thoughts. The theme was about turning your life around. Traci was supportive, and she thought Billy should write a book. He told her he was trying to record a podcast, and his first session went terribly. She suggested meditation as a way to get in touch with his thoughts, but he said he wasn’t comfortable sitting still. She thought it was what he needed though. He said she was right, as always.

Traci asked how things were going at Chancellor. She imagined the pressure was a nightmare. He said Lily was fantastic in the role, and he was proud of her. He told her that Lily came up with an idea that was genius. Traci thought that would be great for Lily and Billy, but she reconsidered her assumption after she saw that he didn’t look enthusiastic about it. He wasn’t sure this would be good for him, but he said it would be good for Lily, and that was what was important. He said he and Lily hadn’t discussed his involvement in the deal, and they didn’t need to. His job was to advise her in what was best for the company, not what was best for him personally. Traci saw that Billy was framing this as if he was just Lily’s colleague. She asked what about the personal relationship. He said that was all moot if the plan didn’t work out. Traci didn’t think it would be fair if Lily didn’t find out about Billy’s concerns until after the deal went through. She thought he should talk to Lily about this sooner than later, and trust that Lily would want to know the truth.

When Lily got home, Billy was there. He told her about the letters from Keemo. Keemo forgave Jack, but it was too late for them to reconnect. Billy said it was so typical – his nephew held a grudge for decades, and where did it get him? Lily saw that Billy was reading about meditation, and he explained that Traci said it was helpful for connecting to your inner voice. She told him about her conversation with Devon. She was glad Devon was realizing Neil would love the idea. Billy felt guilty because he wasn’t totally honest with Lily at the restaurant. As a COO, he loved the idea of the merger, but he had personal reservations. He was embarrassed to say this out loud, but he wondered where he’d fit in to the merged company. He knew Devon would bring his own people in, and Lily might not even need a COO. Lily thought Billy’s concern was valid. She said no matter what happened with Chancellor, he’d always be the person she depended on the most – he was her right hand man. He appreciated her answer, and she kissed him.

Contrary to what Phyllis thought, Jack was not in his room. He was at Keemo’s house. Jack wished he could have one more day with Keemo, one more hour, to set things right. He wondered if Keemo would’ve reached out if he’d had more time. Jack understood that Keemo had been afraid that his rage would flare up if he contacted Jack. “I would never have let that happen,” Jack said. It would’ve brought Jack so much joy to have Keemo back in his life. He wished he could’ve introduced Keemo to his brother, Kyle. He would’ve done anything to heal the rift, if only Keemo had given him a clue that he was open to it. Jack thought the part that hurt the most was that he came so close to reconnecting with his son.

Jack picked up the picture again. He recognized Keemo and his half sister, but who were the other two people? He wondered why the person who left the box put the picture inside – was it to drive home how little he knew about his own son? He knew Keemo let go of his rage. He wondered if there was someone in Keemo’s life who was angry on his behalf. Jack dismissed the idea that the mystery person was lashing out at him. He believed that this box was meant to be a gift to him. He supposed he had to accept that the mystery person had to stay anonymous. He said it was enough to know that Keemo stopped despising him and that Keemo had considered reaching out to him. Jack wiped away tears. He didn’t think he’d get any more information, so this would have to be enough.

Jack turned his phone back on and saw the worried texts from his family. He was about to put their mind at ease when he heard something outside. He went out to the porch and looked around. He didn’t see anything, and he was on his way back inside when a car pulled into the driveway. It was Phyllis. He asked if she saw someone running away on foot when she pulled in. she didn’t notice anything, but she’d been talking to the person who drove her here. He said she didn’t have to come. She came because she realized he wasn’t at the hotel, and his phone wasn’t on. He was sorry, and she said he didn’t have to apologize. She was going to go back to the hotel, so he could have his privacy, but he asked her to stay.

Phyllis suggested that Jack heard coyotes. He thought it might be the texter – maybe they were as curious about him as he was about them. Jack didn’t think the texter was malicious or scamming him. He wondered if someone read the letters, was touched by them and wanted Jack to see them. Phyllis said no – in that case, the person would’ve boxed this stuff up, along with the obituary and mailed it to Jack instead of having him come to California. Jack realized his theory didn’t make sense because a random person who found the letters wouldn’t have had his number. Jack texted the person asking if there was anything else for him to find.

Jack didn’t get a text back, and he thought he’d found out all there was to know. Phyllis said that if Jack really wanted to know more, she’d look into it and try to get more information, but if he didn’t want to know, it was his prerogative. He said he was beat, confused and not sure what to do next. She asked if he was happy he came. He was shocked she even asked that. He was thinking about how close he came to not even knowing anything about what happened to Keemo. He’d thought the texts were a scam, and he’d decided to ignore them, but he said she took it upon herself to investigate. He was so grateful he came and was able to read the letters from his son and make this small connection. Phyllis said that this was painful to Jack. It was, but it was better than being in the dark about what happened to Keemo. He thanked her for making this happen. She said he didn’t have to thank her, because overstepping was part of who she was. He was so grateful for who she was.

Jack wondered what Keemo’s life was like – did he host friends here, or was he alone and lonely? Keemo was one short plane ride away from an extended family, and Jack didn’t have a clue. He cried about how he didn’t know a thing about Keemo’s life, and now he never would. “My own son,” he kept saying, and Phyllis hugged him.

Ciara says she just couldn’t stop thinking about their conversation about Johnny possibly being possessed by the Devil.

After Jake grabbed Johnny, Johnny turns in to the Devil and grabs Jake. Jake questions what’s going on as the Devil tells him that he’s not Johnny DiMera. Jake doesn’t understand. The Devil asks Jake if he’s ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight.

Chad tells Gabi to stop playing around and get her feet off his desk. Gabi responds that it’s her desk and office so she’ll put her feet where ever she wants. Chad tells her to get out and not try this again with his security. Gabi reveals that she is the new CEO of DiMera which Chad laughs at. Gabi tells him to call Mr. Shin since he will back up every word she said. Chad realizes that she’s serious. Gabi confirms that she’s now in charge of this company. Chad questions how in the hell she pulled that off.

Jake continues to question what this is. The Devil warns that he may put his hands on Johnny but he does not manhandle the all mighty.

Gabi tells Chad that he took his eye off the ball while she was here, seizing the professional moment. Chad comments on Abigail being fine and Gabi not asking. Gabi informs Chad that she used his glaring absence to hold an emergency shareholders meeting which resulted in her getting the top position and Johnny being elected to the board. Chad questions his little nephew being on the board. Gabi explains that Johnny has significant control of DiMera. Chad argues that Mr. Shin cannot be okay with this but Gabi reveals that he was the deciding vote. Chad can’t believe this is happening. Chad asks what Jake’s new position is. Gabi responds that Jake got his ass handed to him.

The Devil asks if Jake thought the Devil was gone and remarks that only losers believe in miracles. Jake realizes the Devil has been here in Johnny for months. The Devil remarks that Jake nor Gabi are as smart as they think and it was so easy to convince Gabi to betray Jake. The Devil confirms that he’s the reason that Gabi thought Jake was going to screw her over. The Devil says Gabi already had doubts so he just used a few tricks to have her in his clutches. The Devil declares that he will now get Gabi in to his bed.

Ciara tells Ben that part of her still thinks it’s crazy that the Devil jumped out of Marlena in to Johnny. Ben feels they still need to check it out to make sure there’s not danger for the baby. Ciara brings up Susan not calling him back. Ben says he can try again but Susan then shows up at their door. Susan says she got Ben’s message and as soon as she heard his voice, she had a premonition and hopped on the first bus to Salem. Susan guesses that he was calling about her son, EJ.

Belle informs EJ that she tracked down the henchman who held Sami captive and falsely testified that EJ put him up to it, Jason Smith. EJ asks how she found him. Belle admits it wasn’t easy as he basically went off the grid after implicating EJ. Belle wanted him to admit it so she tried to trick him in to telling her who really did it but she had no luck as he’s sticking to his story. EJ guesses they are back to square one. Belle says there are other avenues they could explore.

Clyde tells Orpheus that it’s funny how life works with his new cellmate being his old pal EJ DiMera. Orpheus points out that they were business associates and ran a drug operation. Clyde questions where he came up with that. Orpheus says he makes it a point to stay in the know. Clyde argues that he doesn’t know anything about him. Orpheus argues that he knows a great deal about Clyde, including that his relationship with EJ went south. Orpheus asks if that’s why Clyde killed EJ.

Belle tells EJ that she’s been working with the Wisconsin police to try to find the other guy, Pete, who was guarding Sami to see if he would contradict Jason’s story but finding him has been a challenge. EJ guesses that avenue is closed. Belle encourages they can try insufficient evidence. EJ talks about regretting taking the stand. Belle brings up Jason, Lucas, Chad, and Sami but says there’s so much room for reasonable doubt. EJ suggests focusing on overturning the judge’s ruling but Belle says the odds of success there are slim since EJ didn’t want a jury trial. EJ recalls Belle telling him to shut up, sit down, and let her do her job but he disregarded her advice at every turn. EJ points out that she’s still here. Belle reminds him that she promised not to abandon him. Belle declares that she knows he’s innocent and soon, everyone else will too. EJ thanks her and tells her how appreciative he is for all her help. Belle asks him again how he’s doing in here and how things are with his cellmate, Clyde Weston.

Clyde tells Orpheus that his information is bogus since EJ is alive. Orpheus credits Dr. Rolf but brings up that night in park when EJ was shot and everyone thought he was dead. Clyde points out that he didn’t shoot him as some two bit junkie did that. Orpheus argues against that but Clyde swears he did not shoot EJ. Orpheus acknowledges that maybe Clyde didn’t pull the trigger, but he’s certainly responsible for the bullet ending up in EJ’s chest.

Ben questions Susan thinking they called about EJ. Susan says it was in her premonition and she’s been thinking about him nonstop since he got sent to prison for a crime he did not commit. Susan argues that EJ would never dream of kidnapping Sami. Ben stops her to clarify they weren’t calling about EJ. Susan asks what it’s about then. Ciara informs her that it’s Johnny. Susan asks what could possibly be wrong with him. Ben advises her to brace himself.

Jake wants to warn Gabi but Devil Johnny uses his powers to slam the door shut and questions Jake leaving so soon. Jake guesses that he’s not leaving and he’s dancing with the Devil after all as he takes a swing at him.

Chad question DiMera being in chaos because Gabi and Jake got in a fight. Gabi remarks that it doesn’t matter why it happened, just that she landed on top. Chad argues that Gabi and Jake can go at each other all they want but this is his family’s company and his children’s legacy so he won’t let them destroy it. Gabi asks what he’s going to do. Chad declares that he will call a meeting. Gabi reminds him that he needs the majority to remove her and he doesn’t have the votes. Gabi says Mr. Shin wants him out and Johnny is on the board with EJ’s votes. Chad doesn’t know why Johnny turned on him since he wanted to work with him to remove vultures like her from DiMera. Gabi says it looks like he got played by his little nephew. Chad declares that little punk won’t get away with it. They then hear a loud crash.

Devil Johnny stands over Jake, who is knocked unconscious on the conference table.

Clyde claims not to know what Orpheus is talking about and that he wasn’t even around when the shooting went down. Orpheus points out that EJ was and asks how EJ feels with cohabitating with the guy that blew him away, guessing it must make for awkward conversation. Clyde argues that even if he was there, it wouldn’t make a difference because EJ doesn’t remember a thing about that night which is a side effect of Dr. Rolf’s drug. Orpheus says he understands that in time, the memories come back. Orpheus asks what Clyde is going to do when EJ remembers that he double crossed him and left him to die.

Belle is shocked to learn that Clyde is EJ’s cellmate and asks how it’s going. EJ says so far, so good. Belle wouldn’t have thought they would hit it off. EJ reveals that they are already acquainted which Belle questions how. EJ informs her that they used to be in business together. Belle assumes the business wasn’t legit which EJ confirms. Belle suggests putting in a request for a different cellmate so his association with Clyde to jeopardize his appeal. EJ calls it ancient history and he actually thinks Clyde can be quite helpful since he’s been here a long time and he knows the place well. Belle questions thinking he can rely on Clyde. EJ admits he doesn’t trust him but if he’s going to survive, he needs someone to have his back and right now, Clyde is his only choice.

Susan questions Ben and Ciara thinking the Devil is hanging in town in Johnny and what makes them think that. Ben says there’s been strange incidents lately. Ciara explains how Julie got them a cross but her stove randomly burst in to flames and then Johnny volunteered to bring the cross to them, but it keeps flipping upside down. Ciara says Julie thinks it’s a sign that the Devil is back in town. They talk about how the Devil could jump in to someone else during the exorcism. Susan goes over their theory. Ciara brings up Susan’s original premonition that the Devil was after their baby in the first place. Ben asks if she sensed anything about Johnny. Susan recalls being at the DiMera Mansion after the exorcism and if she had any feeling that the Devil was in Johnny, she would have never left town. Ben knew it would be a long shot. Ciara apologizes for letting their imaginations run wild and says clearly they were wrong about the Devil being back in Salem, but Susan says not necessarily.

Gabi questions what the noise was. Chad says she’s the new CEO so she can figure it out as he exits the office.

Gabi returns to the conference room and questions what happened as she thought Johnny was calling security. Johnny says he didn’t have to as he thought Jake was going to leave voluntarily but he stormed back in and attacked him. Gabi checks on Jake. Johnny claims that Jake was acting like a psycho, so he had to defend himself. Gabi wakes Jake up and questions what he was thinking.

Susan informs Ben and Ciara that after the exorcism, she did have a premonition that the Devil was still in Salem but she thought it was still in Marlena so she went there to throw holy water on her but Marlena assured that was not the case. Susan thought her Devil detector didn’t work and she didn’t get any bad vibes from Johnny. Susan mentions seeing him before she left town, but the night of Johnny’s engagement party, she got sick and went to the hospital as she had this feeling that there was an evil force behind it all. Susan can’t believe that she stood right in front of Johnny and didn’t have a clue.

Jake tries to say what Johnny is but the Devil uses his powers to cause Jake to have headaches. Jake calls Johnny a creep who tricked Gabi in to stabbing him in the back. The Devil flashes back to touching Jake’s head before Gabi entered the room.

Belle sees their time is up and asks if EJ needs anything else. EJ tells her to just find a way to get him out of this hell hole. Belle says she’s on it and her next angle is Chad. EJ tells her not to waste her time because Chad called him a criminal and sociopath and said he hoped he stayed locked up forever. Belle notes that Chad was out of his mind with worry but Abigail is now safe at home. EJ is sure Chad’s state of mind is much better then but not enough to help him. Belle brings up that Chad was going to do that before he thought EJ tried to force himself on his wife. EJ assures he did not do that. Belle says whatever did or did not happen, Chad led her to believe that they would be pleased with his testimony, which means he knows something that could exonerate him. EJ questions Belle thinking she can get that out of him. Belle says she will sure try. Belle points out that Chad is the one who found the account linking EJ to kidnapping Sami, so if she can get him to admit he planted those or that he knows who did, it would go a long way to proving EJ’s innocence. EJ admires her tenacity but seriously doubts that Chad is going to volunteer any new information. Belle promises that she will get EJ out of here. EJ tells her how grateful he is to have her in his corner. Belle hopes this will all be over soon as she then exits the room.

Orpheus brings up Clyde being up for parole soon. Clyde confirms that he finally got a new hearing, so with any luck, he’ll be about to be out. Orpheus says that’s unless EJ’s memories come back or someone could present the parole board with evidence that links him to a new crime. Clyde says that would certainly throw a wrench in the works. Orpheus remarks that he’s sort of got it coming. Clyde gets that Orpheus holds a grudge against him for stabbing him, but he did that for his son. Orpheus brings up his son trying to kill Ben, so he supposes they are even. Orpheus adds that if Clyde does get parole, it could be useful to have a friend on the outside. Orpheus states that it’s in both of their best interests, that EJ never remember what Clyde did to him because if he does, they will both suffer the consequences. EJ comes back and questions what consequences are those.

Belle goes to the DiMera Mansion to see Chad, who asks what he can do for her. Belle wants to talk to him about EJ’s appeal.

Clyde tells EJ that he was just telling Orpheus about his new cellmate while Orpheus says he was just complaining about his cellmate. Clyde introduces EJ to Orpheus. Orpheus remarks that he’s glad to see them getting along as he then exits.

Susan can’t believe the Devil has possessed her grandson. Ciara points out that they don’t know that for sure. Susan wories that if Johnny is going toe to toe with the Devil, he’s going to need her help so she has to get there right away. Ben wants to go with her but Susan is afraid that might tip the Devil off. Susan declares that if the Devil is in the DiMera Mansion, she will be the one to find out. Susan then exits.

Gabi questions Jake about what happened in here. Jake says it’s a little fuzzy. Gabi brings up Johnny saying Jake attacked him. Jake says that’s a lie just like everything else he’s told her. Jake tells Gabi that Johnny is playing her and got her to believe he did all of this stuff that he didn’t do. Gabi brings up hearing “Jake” tell Maggie that he didn’t care if she didn’t get the top spot of Titan and that he was just using her. Jake says he never said that and calls it impossible. Gabi asks how he explains the signature to take Stefan’s shares. Jake says he can’t explain it yet but he knows Johnny was behind it. Johnny asks if they really have to listen to this again. Jake says he and Gabi are talking. Johnny remarks that Gabi is clearly not interested in what he has to say. Gabi asks Johnny to let her and Jake speak. Johnny asks if she’s sure she will be okay. Gabi says she’ll be fine, so Johnny then exits the room. Jake asks if Gabi is happy now that she got everything she wants and is CEO of DiMera. Gabi says that’s right. Jake says she obviously doesn’t need him anymore and guesses they break up now and that’s it. Gabi tells him not to pretend because it’s his fault. Jake asks if he can get his stuff from the house. Gabi suggests he get checked out but Jake says he’s fine, so Gabi says adios. Jake tells Gabi that he loves her but he doesn’t understand why she’s doing this. Gabi tells Jake that he can go get his stuff now. Jake brings up how they were on top of the world two weeks ago with their whole future ahead of them, but now, he doesn’t know how this could have happened. Jake then exits the room.

Clyde asks EJ how it went with his lawyer. EJ says she unfortunately had nothing new to report. Clyde encourages that good things come to those who wait. EJ admits that patience was never his strong suit. Clyde points out that they have a roof over their head and advises EJ to enjoy this nice, cushy life style. EJ questions what he just said. Clyde repeats for him to enjoy this nice, cushy life style which causes EJ to flash back to Clyde saying that the night that EJ was shot. Clyde asks if he’s alright. EJ responds that he was just thinking.

Chad questions Belle coming over to talk to EJ. Belle asks what he thought she came for. Chad assumed since Belle is the company’s general counsel that she heard the news that the scheming bitch ousted him from DiMera.

Gabi sits at her desk, thinking back to her original planning with Jake.

Ben continues working on the baby swing. Ciara decides she’s going to the hospital to pick up prenatal vitamins. Ben wants to go with her but Ciara tells him to stay and finish the swing. Ciara wishes him luck and leaves right as Jake arrives. Ben comments that Jake doesn’t look good. Jake says that’s no surprise after the day he had. Ben asks him what happened. Jake reveals that Gabi double-crossed him and left herself as head of DiMera and him out in the cold. Ben questions what the hell happened. Jake says he’s still trying to figure that out but he knows that snake Johnny DiMera got in Gabi’s head that he had betrayed her but he doesn’t know how he did it. Ben responds that he can think of one possibility.

Devil Johnny lays in bed until Susan shows up. Johnny asks what she’s doing here. Susan responds that she’s here to see if he really is her grandson.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Gwen: Please, you can’t tell the police.

Ava: Oh, that you’re the one that knocked out abigail at the airstrip?

Gwen: Shh!

Ava: Of course I can.

Gwen: Ava, we are in this together. We have been from the beginning.

Ava: No, I helped you out. But this mess is all yours. And yet I’m the one that they dragged down here to the station. Not to mention that this is all for nothing.

Gwen: What do you mean?

Ava: Isn’t it obvious? If chad brought abigail back from that godforsaken island, sarah can’t be far behind.

[Dramatic music]

Sarah as renee: Tom and alice horton. Long time, no see. You know, everyone keeps trying to convince me that I’m your granddaughter. But I’m not. I’m renee dumonde, and I’m here to take my life back, finally be with the man I love.

Xander: Sarah. It’s really you this time.

[Door slams]

Shin: Hmm.

Kate: Oh, mr. Shin. I didn’t know you were in salem.

Shin: Kate, please. Call me li. And I’m here for the shareholder meeting.

Kate: The shareholder meeting?

Shin: Gabi and jake have called meeting for this morning, along with ej’s son.

Kate: Johnny?

Shin: I’m getting the sense they didn’t tell you.

Kate: Uh, no, they didn’t tell me. And they’ve planned it for a time when tony and chad aren’t here and ej is in prison, which makes me think they think the time is ripe for a play.

Shin: Hmm, what is it you think they’re planning?

Kate: Well, I don’t know. But whatever it is, they’re not gonna get away with it.

Jake: Whoa. Dressed already, huh?

Gabi: The meeting is in half an hour. You expect to be instated as the ceo of dimera in your boxers?

Jake: Aw, come on. We still have time. Come on, come back to bed, just for a minute.

Gabi: I don’t want to wrinkle my dress.

Jake: All the more reason for you to take it off. I was thinking we could have a little pre-meeting celebration.

Gabi: No, we–we cannot have any distractions today. Everything is riding on today.

Jake: Fine. I’ll get dressed. But tonight we’re celebrating.

Gabi: Oh, I’ll be celebrating… getting rid of your lying, double-crossing ass.

Demon johnny: [Sighs] Time for all hell to break loose at dimera. I do love my job.

Johnny: You stop right there.

Demon johnny: You again.

Johnny: That’s right. It’s me, johnny angel, and I’m taking over.

Demon johnny: [Laughs] Do you really think you can fight the devil and win?

Johnny: You’re not as powerful as you think. In fact, you’re nothing without me.

Demon johnny: Oh, please. You’re nothing but a host body, a vessel for me to puppet.

Johnny: That’s what you think.

Demon johnny: Go away. I have work to do.

Johnny: Oh, I’m not going anywhere, and neither are you. I won’t let you hurt any more people I love.

Demon johnny: [Groans]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Demon johnny: [Grunts] I warned you what would happen if you fight me.

Johnny: My grandmother kicked you out. I will too.

Demon johnny: [Scoffs] Marlena and john drove me out with love. 35 years of loyalty and selflessness–ugh. But that is why I’m not worried about you. ‘Cause you don’t love anyone enough. Only yourself, johnny boy.

Johnny: That’S…not true.

Demon johnny: Only yourself. Now, go away!

[Phone rings] Hello?

Gabi: Everything okay?

Demon johnny: Why wouldn’t it be? Are we all ready for today?

Gabi: I am more than ready.

Demon johnny: You don’t think jake suspects you, does he?

Gabi: He doesn’t suspect a thing.

Demon johnny: Good. Let’s keep it that way. We need his vote to convene the meeting.

Gabi: Don’t worry. Jake is gonna get what he deserves. And I can’t wait to witness it.

Xander: Sarah. Jack told me everything.

Sarah as renee: Oh, my god. It can’t be you.

Xander: But it is. I– oh, my god, sarah. You have no idea what a relief it is to– just to see you again. All this time, I believed that you– that you threw me over on our wedding day and jumped into bed with rex. But it wasn’t you. It was never– it was never you. And I’m so terribly sorry for everything you must have gone through, getting kidnapped by kristen and trapped on a desert island for all this time.

Sarah as renee: And you were a part of the scheme.

Xander: Scheme?

Sarah as renee: Trying to make me think that I’m sarah horton.

Xander: I, uh– what are you–

Sarah as renee: You get away from me.

Xander: Sarah, please, I don’t–

Sarah as renee: Stop calling me that.

Xander: I don’t understand. Don’t you know who I am?

Sarah as renee: [Scoffs] I do. I know exactly who you are.

[Dramatic music]

Wondering what actually goes

into your multivitamin?

Sarah as renee: [Scoffs] You think anyone could forget who you are, alexander? Someone as charismatic as you?

Xander: That’s right. That’s–that’s me. Alexandros, but I– I go by xander.

Sarah as renee: Oh, really? You think you can just change the name that you go by and people will forget that as charismatic as you are, you’re also a despicable, lying son of a bitch? So whatever it is you go by, I know you as alex. And I want a divorce.

Xander: A divorce? We–we’re not married. I mean, we’re supposed to be–

Sarah as renee: Oh, how i wish that was true. But I fell for your act, and I was foolish enough to marry you, which was the worst mistake I’ve ever made.

Xander: Is this– is this some kind of joke?

Sarah as renee: [Scoffs] Not to me, it’s not.

Xander: But I– I don’t understand.

Sarah as renee: Okay. Then let me make it simple for you. I am renee dumonde. And I intend to marry the love of my life, tony.

Xander: Tony…dimera?

Sarah as renee: Yes! As soon as he gets a divorce from that pathetic woman who somehow got her hooks into him, you know, the one without a brain? And then I’m going to divorce you. To that end, I am going to go speak to don craig.

Xander: Who?

Sarah as renee: An excellent lawyer. He’s the best in town. So if you’ll excuse me.

Xander: Sarah, wait.

Sarah as renee: Damn it, alex, I told you not to call me that.

[Uneasy music]

[Line rings] Yeah, hi, jack. Um… you want to go ahead and finish that story you were trying to tell me?

Gwen: Did chad say that sarah was back?

Ava: No. But abigail knows everything, and she’s back, so…

Gwen: [Exhales heavily]

[Sniffles] Okay. Right. First things first, they don’t have a case against you. They haven’t even filed charges. Right?

Ava: Not yet.

Gwen: Right, so turning me in is not gonna help you. It’s just gonna hurt me.

Ava: Okay, like I said, abigail has already told them that I was on the scene when she was attacked. So I can be charged as an accessory.

Gwen: Yes, but they don’t– they don’t have any proof, do they? Yes, she remembers being attacked from behind, which means that you couldn’t possibly have done it.

Ava: Yes, but I didn’t do anything to help stop it, did I? They just assume that I was in on it. Which I was.

Gwen: Look at me. You are ava vitali. Yes? You have beaten murder charges, murder raps. Are you really afraid of this?

Ava: I have tried to build a different life for myself here, gwen. I’m not throwing it away. And I’m not going to prison. Plus, I don’t have rafe on my side anymore.

Gwen: Maybe not, but I’ve still got your back, as long as you’ve still got mine.

Kate: So how many people are we expecting?

Shin: The overseas members are perennially in absentia. Ej is, as you noted, unavailable. And tony and chad have quite inappropriately taken the corporate jet somewhere on personal business.

Kate: Personal business? Abigail was kidnapped.

Shin: I’m not unsympathetic. But it seems there’s always A… crisis in the dimera family.

Kate: Okay, so as far as I know, tony and chad are on their way back. So we can just postpone the meeting.

Shin: Well, I have a flight to hong kong at noon. I’m afraid I can’t push this back.

Kate: So why did they call for this meeting anyway? What’s so pressing about their agenda?

Shin: I’m afraid I’m not at liberty to discuss.

Demon johnny: Jake will never know what hit him.

Gabi: Right, yes. We’ll see you there.

Demon johnny: Why are you acting weird? Is he standing right next to you?

Gabi: Yup. Bye, now. So you’re finally dressed.

Jake: Yeah. What was that about?

Gabi: Just going over our meeting plans with johnny.

Jake: Huh. You know, I…could have sworn I heard you say, “jake’s gonna get what he deserves.”

Gabi: You will. By the end of the day, you will be ceo of dimera enterprises.

Tony: Johnny. I thought I heard someone in here.

Demon johnny: Uncle tony. I was told you and uncle chad were–were out of town.

Tony: Yes, we were. And luckily we found abigail and we got back here early this morning. Isn’t that wonderful news?

Demon johnny: Yeah, wonderful.

Tony: Well, aren’t you going to ask me if abigail’s all right?

Demon johnny: Oh, of course. I just, uh– I assumed she was fine, since you’re back here.

Tony: I see. Oh, by the way, I’d like to speak to you about something that involves the household.

Demon johnny: Okay, well, can we do it a little later? I’m–I’m kind of in a hurry, uncle T.

Tony: Wh-why? You got a date with the devil?

Demon johnny: Excuse me?

Tony: [Chuckling] I mean your movie. I see the way you’re dressed. You must be having a meeting with your producer.

Demon johnny: [Laughs] Oh, yeah. Right, right, yes. Big meeting, so…

Tony: One more thing before you go. How’s it going? “Possessed: The marlena evans story,” that is.

Demon johnny: Great. Yeah, like I just told tr, I’m already working on the sequel, so… see you.

Tony: Yeah.

[Uneasy music]

As a struggling actor,

Kate: So what’s going on with gabi and jake? Why all the secrecy about this meeting?

Shin: I gather there’s a desire to make some changes to the corporate structure.

Kate: Mm-hmm. What kind of changes?

Shin: Like I said, I haven’t been briefed.

Kate: Mm, but I’m sure you know something.

Shin: [Chuckles] Why don’t we wait for the meeting? Ah, here they are now.

Gabi: Hello, kate, shin.

Kate: Gabi, why didn’t you tell me that you had called a shareholders’ meeting today?

Gabi: Oh, I don’t know. Maybe because you had the audacity to oust jake from the company, and I was hoping I didn’t have to see your face.

Jake: Okay, we can get started as soon as johnny gets here, huh?

Kate: Well, I am going to call the house and see when chad and tony are due in. And perhaps they can join us remotely.

Demon johnny: They can’T.

Kate: How do you know?

Demon johnny: Well, I just, uh, came from home, and it seems they have been delayed due to a weather incident.

Kate: They’re still on the plane?

Demon johnny: From what I understand, they’re in a holding pattern over the bermuda triangle. I’m sure there’s nothing to worry about.

Shin: As I was telling kate, I can’t postpone the meeting.

Gabi: Nor would we want to.

Demon johnny: Exactly. We can accomplish everything we need without the other members of my family present.

Kate: Yeah. Well, that’s what I’m afraid of.

Demon johnny: So let’s get this show on the road, shall we?

[Tense music]

Chad: Hey.

Tony: Oh, chad. How’s abigail?

Chad: Uh, relieved to be home.

Tony: Ah, that’s good.

Chad: Say, we’re, um– we’re–we’re both very grateful for your help in tracking her down. Jack and jennifer are–are too, obviously.

Tony: Yeah, well, I’m glad everything worked out. So I suppose they’re on their way to boston, knowing that their daughter’s safe?

Chad: Yep, on the, uh– on their way to the airport as we speak.

Tony: I see. Oh, I wanted to ask you, what did you find out from ava vitali at the police station? Did she give up the name of her accomplice?

Chad: Not yet. She’s, uh–she’s still being held for questioning. So far, she’s clamming up. I suggested that I–I might be able to get the da to offer her a deal if she gives up the person who assaulted abby.

Ava: Chad is never gonna let this go. So how are you gonna help me, short of confessing?

Gwen: Well, for one thing, I won’t tell a soul that you helped kristen dimera escape police custody.

Ava: [Laughs] We did that together.

Gwen: I’m just saying.

Ava: Just saying? You’re just saying? Or are you threatening me? ‘Cause if you dare breathe one word of that, I will tell everyone that not only did you bash abigail over the head at the airstrip, but you knew that sarah had been kidnapped and she was stranded on an island, and you did everything in your power to make sure she never came home.

Gwen: Only you won’t do that, will you? Because then I will let it be known that you set up your boyfriend, rafe, on trumped-up charges.

Ava: Oh. So we’re going there now, huh?

Gwen: How many hours did the da spend prosecuting that case? How do you think she’s gonna treat the person that she knows wasted her time, turned the pd upside down, and left her looking like a complete fool? How do you think rafe is going to react when he finds out what you did?

Ava: Honey, it would be a mistake to threaten me.

Gwen: I’m just pointing out, ava, that you and I have secrets, don’t we? I did what I did to keep sarah away from xander, and I know everything you did to punish rafe for hurting you.

Ava: And you can’t prove a thing.

Gwen: Are you sure about that? I didn’t think so. So I would suggest that you keep your mouth shut, and I will do the same.

[Tense music]

Xander: So you’re saying that this drug made her so delusional that sarah thinks she’s– she’s a completely different person? Well, maybe they’re not trying hard enough, jack. But I bloody will. I’m not gonna give up until I bring her back to reality. Mate, I’ve gotta go. I’ll, uh–I’ll talk to you later. Thanks for all the help. Sarah!

Sarah as renee: Renee. Renee! And I asked you to leave me alone.

Xander: You are aware that this renee dumonde person you claim to be is dead and was murdered by a serial killer?

Sarah as renee: What’s your angle here, alex? And how did you get involved in this scheme?

Xander: Scheme? There is no scheme. I’m–and I’m not alex. I’m xander. You need to listen to me. This woman that you think you are, she’s been dead for years.

Sarah as renee: Okay, yeah. Well, loads of people in this town have been dead before, and then miracle of miracles, they were brought back to life by my very own father. So add me to that list.

Xander: Do you understand how insane this all sounds?

Sarah as renee: All I care about is getting a divorce from you and getting my tony away from that wretched woman who tricked him into marrying her. And why are you looking at me like that?

Xander: I just wish I could get through to you. I wish you could remember how much we love each other.

Sarah as renee: Oh, please. You have a heart of stone. You’re incapable of love. All you wanted was my inheritance. That’s why you tricked me into marrying you.

Xander: Hey, I-I never tricked you into anything.

Sarah as renee: Get away from me.

Xander: I’m xander cook, not alex, and I– all I ever wanted was to make you happy.

Sarah as renee: The only person that can make me happy is tony. My heart belongs to him, and it always will.

Xander: Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait, please, just– I need to show you something. Can I? Can I–can I show you something? Will you just–look. Look at this. That’s us. Happy. Together. In love. Looking forward to our future together. Tell me you don’t remember this. You tell me you don’t remember us. Oh, man that is wrinkly.

[Dramatic music]

Gwen: [Sighs] If I were a praying woman… is this my punishment for all the revenge I tried to get, for all the misery and suffering that I’ve gone through? Even if ava doesn’t rat me out and sarah does come home… god, could it get any worse?

Ned: Oh, things can always get worse. Remember me?

Tony: I hope you find out who was behind this nightmare.

Chad: Oh, I will. And they’ll pay for what they put abby through.

Tony: I should hope so.

Chad: Mm, speaking of wives, I ran into yours upstairs, and she seems pretty upset about this whole sarah-renee situation.

Tony: “Upset” is not the word I would use.

Chad: Well, look, it’s gonna be rough for a little while. I mean, it took abby months to recover. And with the proper treatment plan…

Tony: Well, sarah refused help. Then she took off from the hospital after she noticed that steve and kayla weren’t looking.

Chad: Well, that’s not good.

Tony: No, it’s not. Did I tell you that she’s moving in?

Chad: Moving in here?

Tony: She insisted.

Chad: You said yes?

Tony: Well, yeah, because kayla thought it would be best if she was here. That way, she’d be safe, and possibly we can convince her to get treated.

Chad: No wonder anna’s head exploded.

Tony: Ugh, sarah barged in here, screaming invectives and–and threatening anna with– with eviction.

[Groans]

Chad: I’m sorry I missed it. Where’s sarah now?

Tony: She’s, uh, out there hiring a divorce lawyer for me.

Chad: [Laughing] Oh, god.

Tony: Why, do you think that’s funny?

Chad: No.

[Clears throat] No, it’s just– it’s all just such a mess.

Tony: [Sighs] You know, renee, she was such a passionate woman. But it seems that sarah is now channeling the same dimera determination.

Chad: Lucky you.

Tony: Yes, unfortunately, though, I seem to be indulging in her delusions as a way to avoid an all-out war.

Chad: And how does anne feel about that strategy?

Tony: [Grunts]

Chad: I’m sorry.

Tony: Me too.

Chad: Look, w– we have no idea what other drugs kristen was feeding sarah on that island. But she’s here now, and maybe being in a– in a familiar place will jog her memory.

Tony: Well, I just hope that she gets back to her old self soon.

Xander: Well? Does it look familiar to you?

Sarah as renee: Not at all.

Xander: But this is you. This is you and me. It’s a picture of us together. I–it’s one of my favorites.

Sarah as renee: Yeah, well, I’ve never seen it before. That woman in the picture with the short hair, that’s sarah horton. I’m renee dumonde. Or dimera, if you prefer.

Shin: I would like to call this meeting of the dimera shareholders to order. Who would like to speak first?

Jake: I will.

Shin: Chair recognizes jake dimera.

Jake: Thank you, mr. Shin. We have two motions that we would like to present to the shareholders. The first, we would like to elect victor kiriakis to the board of directors.

Kate: What?

Gabi: You have a problem with that?

Kate: I have nothing but respect for victor, but he’s competition. Why would we invite him into the fold?

Gabi: You know what they say: “Keep your friends close. Keep your enemies closer.”

Kate: What I say is, that is a tired, old cliché that means absolutely nothing.

Demon johnny: The goal is to extend the olive branch, lull vic into a sense of security, and then move in for the kill. Steal titan right out from under him.

Kate: Oh, yeah, because it would be that easy, wouldn’t it?

[Laughs] Since when have the three of you been working together?

Demon johnny: Well, we have common interests.

Shin: Jake, you said you had two motions?

Jake: Yes, thank you. The second motion is, we would like to remove chad as ceo of dimera enterprises.

Kate: And replace him with whom?

Jake: Me.

Kate: No. I won’t allow that. That won’t be happening.

Gabi: Excuse me, kate. Before you waste your breath railing against jake’s motion, I have two small amendments I’d like to offer.

Your mission:

Gwen: Ned grainger.

Ned: Thanks for remembering.

Gwen: Where the bloody hell did you come from? Have you been stalking me?

Ned: As a matter of fact, I have.

Gwen: Why?

Ned: Why? I did you a solid, lady. Then chad and tony dimera tracked me all the way down to key west.

Gwen: And then you told them where to find abigail.

Ned: Yeah. But I kept your name out of it.

Gwen: Thank you. I appreciate that.

Ned: You don’t think I did that for free, do you? Now’s the time for you to pay the price.

Xander: So you truly don’t recognize yourself in this picture?

Sarah as renee: No. Because that’s not me.

Xander: But when you– when you look in the mirror, this isn’t the face you see?

Sarah as renee: No, I see my face.

Xander: You mean renee’s?

Sarah as renee: My face. Damn it, alex. Here you go, tormenting me again.

Xander: According to jack, renee dumonde would be about, mm, 65 years old is she were still alive.

Sarah as renee: Okay, well, what do you want me to say? I’ve aged very well. It’s in the genes. We dimeras live practically forever.

Xander: I don’t believe this.

Sarah as renee: Yeah, neither do I. You’re all trying to make me think that I’m out of my mind, but you’re the ones that need serious help.

Xander: What did kayla say about your condition at the hospital?

Sarah as renee: Oh, my god. As if I care what kayla says or you, for that matter. You’re all trying to make me think that I’ve lost it, which I unforgivably cruel. So get out of my sight, alex. I’m gonna go home to the man I love, tony.

Xander: Please. Please wait.

[Eerie music]

Chad: If you want, I could– I could ask abby to talk to sarah. She might be able to get through to her.

Tony: Yes. She’s been through a similar experience.

Chad: Unfortunately she has. But anything we can do to help.

Tony: Thank you. I appreciate it.

Chad: It’s the least we can do. Have you told the rest of the family yet?

Tony: Well, I tried to warn johnny, but he was in a hurry. He seemed to be having a meeting with his movie producer.

Chad: Right. Well, I should, uh– I should get into the office. Hopefully I didn’t miss too much while we were gone.

Jake: Gabi, what’s going on? I don’t remember discussing any amendments.

Kate: So this is very interesting.

Jake: What’s this about?

Gabi: Well, if you remember, you were the one that amended our last plan when you went to mr. Shin about ousting ej from the company without even talking to me first.

Jake: You said you trusted me.

Gabi: I did. Do you trust me?

Jake: Of course I do.

Kate: That’s a mistake.

Jake: Okay, why? Why do this now?

Gabi: Just thought it would be more efficient this way. Mr. Shin, may I?

Shin: Go ahead, gabi.

Gabi: Instead of adding victor kiriakis to the board, I suggest we elect johnny dimera.

Jake: What?

Gabi: And instead of having jake as ceo, I propose you elect me instead.

Demon johnny: I second that motion.

Jake: What the hell is this?

[Tense music]

Trelegy for copd.

Jake: What are you doing, gabi? What’s going on?

Gabi: There’s been a change of plans.

Kate: I told you not to trust her.

Shin: I’m gonna call this to a vote.

Jake: We’re not ready yet.

Gabi: We’re ready.

Kate: You know, as much as I would like jake to get what he deserves, I am not gonna let you, gabi, take chad’s rightful place at dimera.

Gabi: You can’t do that, kate. Neither of you can.

Demon johnny: She’s right. You can’T.

Jake: What the hell?

Kate: How could you do this to tony and chad? They’ve been so good to you.

Demon johnny: Well, guess I’m just a chip off the old block after all.

Kate: Mm, well, I won’t be voting for this travesty. And obviously I don’t think jake will be either.

Gabi: Oh, but I will. And johnny will vote his shares.

Demon johnny: And my– my father’S.

Kate: Yeah. Well, mr. Shin is on jake’s side, right? He’s always been your favorite.

Jake: Wow. Never thought it’d be you who’d come to my defense.

Kate: Well, I’m doing what’s right for the company. And right now, with mr. Shin’s vote, my vote, and yours, it will be a tie. Unless someone walks in that door and breaks the tie, it’ll be a stalemate, which means the status quo stands.

[Tense music]

Gwen: How do you propose to make me pay?

Ned: I’m gonna make it easy for you. I want $1 million for my troubles.

Gwen: $1 million?

Ned: Or else I sing to the authorities and your boyfriend.

Gwen: Please. Please, please don’t say anything.

Ned: I won’t, long as I get my money.

Gwen: Okay. I will get you money, but you need to do something for me first.

Ned: You’re in no position to be making demands.

Gwen: Do you want the cash? Because I don’t have any. Ava vitali, on the other hand, she’s got access to the vitali fortune.

Ned: I’m listening.

Gwen: Problem is, is that she’s cooling her heels at the salem pd at the moment.

Ned: Okay.

Gwen: So if you can get her out of this mess, I promise I will get you your payday.

Xander: We were gonna get married. You were my everything, sarah, and…I thought that–

Sarah as renee: Don’t touch me.

Xander: Fine. But at least let me take you to see your mother. She’s worried sick about you.

Sarah as renee: My mother? I haven’t spoken to emily in years.

Xander: I’m talking about maggie.

Sarah as renee: Maggie horton?

Xander: Well, it’s kiriakis now, and she loves you very much.

Sarah as renee: Again, she loves sarah. And I don’t know why you keep going on about sarah horton. But what I do know is that you, alex marshall, make me sick.

Xander: I’m not alex marshall! I don’t even know who that is!

Sarah as renee: Okay, well, then let me fill you in. Alex marshall is scum, and I exposed him as such at a huge celebratory bash at the dimera mansion a while back. And it was ever so satisfying. And you know what would satisfy me now? Is never laying eyes on you again, you two-faced bastard.

[Somber music]

Gwen: Xander? Are you all right?

Xander: I, uh– I just saw sarah.

Kate: So, li, you’re voting for jake, right? You know it’s the right thing for the company.

[Unsettling music]

Li? Mr. Shin?

Demon johnny: What’s your answer, mr. Shin?

Shin: I vote… I vote aye, which means the motion is passed.

Kate: What? Are you serious?

Gabi: Excellent decision.

Demon johnny: Yes, wise move, mr. Shin.

Jake: I don’t get it. Why the hell would you choose them?

Shin: Ej’s in prison. Chad and tony have abandoned their posts. It’s time for a change.

Demon johnny: Indeed, it is.

Jake: What the hell is happening? How could you betray me like this?

Gabi: Don’t get all self-righteous. You betrayed me first.

Jake: How did I betray you?

Gabi: When you went to the board to have stefan’s shares transferred over from my name to yours.

Jake: I-I didn’t do that!

Gabi: Yes, you did. Johnny showed me the paperwork.

Jake: Then johnny must have forged it, just like he must have stolen maggie’s phone and sent me a text from it for me to meet her at her house.

Gabi: [Sighs] So how do you explain that I heard you tell maggie all you cared about was the ceo job?

Jake: What?

Gabi: Yeah. You said you didn’t care if I got the top position at titan, as long as you got what you wanted.

Jake: Okay, I-I-I– no, no, no, I never met with maggie.

Gabi: I was there. I heard every single word.

Jake: I don’t know what you heard, but it never happened!

Gabi: You’re a liar. You’re a liar and a loser. And my first move as ceo is gonna be to call security and have your ass thrown out of here.

Jake: What in god’s name? None of this makes any sense!

Demon johnny: Makes sense to me. Uh, gabi, why don’t you go ahead? Go ahead and get settled into your new office, and I would be happy to take care of jake here. Migraine attacks?

Sarah as renee: Sweetheart, I’m home. Cheers, daddy.

Tony: Um, can I get you something?

Sarah as renee: Well, I’d love a hug. Oh! And a divorce from that airhead wife.

Tony: I was thinking maybe you’d like a glass of water.

Sarah as renee: Oh. No, thank you. By the way, I did try to find don craig. And as much as I hate to admit it, anna was right. No one has seen or heard from in in 35 years. But I did schedule you an appointment with a very good lawyer, one who will also be handling my divorce from alex marshall, who I did have the misfortune of running into this afternoon.

Tony: You ran into alex?

Sarah as renee: I also spoke to that lawyer about drawing up eviction papers for anna.

Tony: No. Look, you can’t evict her.

Sarah as renee: Of course I can. And it’s imperative that I do. I will not have that woman spending another night in bed with the man I love.

Gwen: So sarah never really dumped you?

Xander: No. It wasn’t her on the day of the wedding. Nor was it she who came back and dumped me a second time.

Gwen: I see. So she’s– she’s been held captive on a deserted island this whole time, then?

Xander: It’s unbelievable, right?

Gwen: Mm. And now that she’s back, does this mean that she wants to pick up where the two of you left off?

Xander: Actually, no.

Gwen: Really? Why not?

Xander: Look, why don’t we, um, head up to the room and I’ll try to explain? It’s, uh, kind of a long story.

Ned: Hello, ms. Vitali.

Ava: I didn’t call a lawyer.

Ned: Are you sure? Because you look like you could use one.

Ava: Wait. Ned?

Ned: Ned who? I’m saul goodman, attorney at law.

Ava: [Chuckles] Okay, what the hell is going on here?

Ned: Your friend ms. Rizczech sent me to negotiate a deal with the da.

Ava: She hired you to be my lawyer?

Ned: We have an appointment with ms. Trask shortly, after which you’re gonna walk out of this police station a free woman, free to go wherever you want, by plane, perhaps?

Ava: Oh, so you’re gonna bust me out of here.

Ned: Maybe. But first I must warn you, my fees are quite steep. Your friend gwen says that you’re good for it. So can I count on you for payment?

Ava: You’re hired.

Chad: What the hell are you doing in my office?

Gabi: You can’t read? This is my office now.

Chad: I’m sorry, what?

Gabi: Gabi dimera, ceo. You’re out, and I’m in.

Demon johnny: [Chuckles] Whoo, not the way you saw today going, was it, pal?

Jake: Okay, I don’t know how you pulled it off, but I know you were behind this.

Demon johnny: ‘Cause I stole a phone, forged a text, blah, blah, blah.

Jake: Yeah, that was just the start of it.

Demon johnny: Oh, really? What else did I do, morph into you, meet with maggie so gabi could overhear?

Jake: I don’t know how you did it, but I know it was you who turned gabi against me.

Demon johnny: Look, blame me all you want, but you’re the one who just threw everything away: Your job, your future, your smokin’-hot girlfriend.

Jake: Okay, don’t you even think about getting close to gabi.

Demon johnny: Or you’ll do what? You’re powerless. You’re impotent, both figuratively and literally. Now, get out before I throw you out.

Jake: No.

Demon johnny: No? Guess I’m gonna have to call security.

Jake: Don’t even think about it, pal.

Demon johnny: Get your hand off of me.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nick: Hey!

Nate: How you doing?

Nick: Thanks for coming.

Nate: No problem.

Nick: You want a beer?

Nate: Yeah, yeah.

Nick: Can we get one more? Thank you.

Nate: This isn’t about faith, is it? I’ve been apprised of all her tests since her transplant. Everything seems to be going well.

Nick: She’s doing awesome. You know, she’s happy, healthy, very excited for her future. I mean, college is right around the corner.

Nate: Oh, yeah, that’s a, that’s a big step. I’ve been offering moses a bit of advice while he weighs his options. And it’s been pretty fun.

Nick: He is such a great kid, nate. You know, it seems faith has taken an interest in business, too, which makes her grandfather very happy.

Nate: I’m sure. How’s victor’s health these days?

Nick: He’s great. We seem to have caught a run of good luck with that, with dad’s health and sharon’s remission, faith’s transplant. And of course ashland’s recovery, which has been nothing short of miraculous. I was curious if you had ever seen anything like that — you know, someone who was so close to death and then bounces back the way he has.

Nate: In my experience, it’s extremely rare, which makes it all the more impressive. I’d love to go over the protocol one day, given the efficacy.

Nick: Yeah, if you do that, i would love to see that myself.

Nate: Is that what you wanted to talk to me about?

Nick: Uh…look. Ashland’s condition has become a very important subject in this family… much more so than any of us ever expected.

Victoria: Marketing meeting went well?

Ashland: Fantastic.

Victoria: What is it?

Ashland: I just got off the phone with your father. He’s, uh, put a ticking time bomb on his threats against me. I told him to do his best.

Victor: You just made a big mistake, ashland locke. No one threatens me. No one threatens my family… and gets away with it.

Abby: Babe, is that you?

Chance: Yeah.

Abby: How was your nap?

Chance: Good.

Abby: Feeling better?

Chance: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I was pretty worn out there.

Abby: I know your first therapy session was emotionally draining. What can I do to help?

Chance: Okay, well, I’m really worried that I’m gonna make you feel like I’m shutting you out. I want you to know that’s not what I’m doing. I just need some time to figure this out all on my own, you know? Just for now. We can talk about it later… if that’s okay.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Faith: I’m looking at dresses online to wear to your wedding. What did you say the color scheme was?

Mariah: We don’t have anything set in stone, uh, but maybe something black?

Tessa: Or something sparkly?

Mariah: I mean, you can never go wrong with something black and sparkly. So…

Faith: On it. Hey, how did you guys know you were in love?

Mariah: Um…well, you know, I don’t think it’s something we could actually pinpoint. I think we both knew before we could admit it to each other, and that took a while.

Tessa: Yeah, I mean, because being in love, as great as it is, it can be really scary.

Faith: Uh-huh. How many people are you inviting to the ceremony?

Tessa: I think we’re thinking of keeping it small so that we can spend time with each guest.

Faith: Let me know if you need me to handle the door, keep out the riffraff.

Tessa: Oh, I don’t think that’s necessary. We’re not that popular.

Mariah: Oh, you are. I’m just your number-one fan.

[ All laugh ]

Faith: When tessa was on tour, were you guys ever worried that you might not make it, because of the long distance and all the time apart?

Noah: Hey, mom. Is it too late to get a couple triple espressos to go?

Sharon: Not technically, but won’t you be worried about the caffeine keeping you awake?

Noah: No. That is the point. We need a little post-dinner pick-me-up before we go out to the club. I just heard something amazing!

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Noah: Uh, where are my manners? Mom, this is cindy.

Sharon: Nice to meet you.

Cindy: Same here. I have already heard so much about you.

Sharon: Oh!

Noah: All good things, i promise. I told her if she wanted to come get espressos, we had to go to my mom’s place because it’s not your typical coffee shop, not where they burn the beans and stuff. It’s special, and that’s because of you. Knowing everyone’s orders, ask about their families. I told her about the thanksgiving tradition.

Cindy: Which is so generous and sweet. I really should have come in here before now, but, you know, I’ve got a coffee shop near work. It just seemed easier. You know how it goes. But I’m gonna start coming in here from now on because I can tell that this is just an amazing place run by an amazing woman. Must be to have raised an incredible guy like noel.

Sharon: Noel.

Cindy: And you passed down some killer genes, too. I mean, look at those eyes. So dreamy!

Sharon: Yeah, he’s pretty great all around. So, where did you say you work?

Cindy: I have a day job, but my real passion is in social media, working as an influencer.

Sharon: Oh. Did you go to walnut grove with noah? He mentioned seeing a high school friend the other night.

Cindy: You know, I didn’t know him in school, but I wish i had! I mean, he is just sexier and funnier than about 99% of the guys I went to school with. We just met today. How lucky is that?

Sharon: That’s so lucky.

Mariah: When tessa left to go on the road, it was very, very hard. But it was also not an excuse to behave badly.

Faith: Oh, my god, I did not mean to bring up any bad memories.

Tessa: Hey, it’s okay. Being a couple means that sometimes you work through things when you make mistakes.

Mariah: And when I…lost my way, tessa was very compassionate, and she was understanding, forgiving.

Tessa: And mariah’s done the same for me, as well.

Mariah: Being in a relationship is not always easy and fun and fluffy, but it also shouldn’t be agonizingly hard, either.

Tessa: And there are shades in between. You find out what works and what doesn’t and what you both need so that you can make it last forever.

Faith: I don’t even know what forever looks like for two people, except grandma and grandpa, and even they’ve had temporary breakups. I know how much my parents loved each other, but now mom has rey, who is awesome, and dad? Who knows? So, it just makes me wonder if soul mates are really a thing. If they’re not, then why risk it? You don’t know if you could just end up with a broken heart.

Victoria: What exactly did my father say to you?

Ashland: You know, I really hate upsetting you like this.

Victoria: Well, you know what? It’s a little late for that. I need to know.

Ashland: Okay, alright. It’s just more of the same. Either I capitulate, or he will expose my terrible crimes to you.

Victoria: These threats that he’s making are totally unacceptable.

Ashland: Yeah, well, I don’t like being the victim of them, either, especially since I’ve been down this particular path many times. How many times do you suppose your family is going to claim that they’ve uncovered some deep, dark secret about my past that makes me unworthy of you? Not to mention the implication that you are some kind of weak-willed victim that’s fallen prey to a terrible monster! It’s demeaning to both of us.

Victoria: I agree with you. I do. But what I’m trying to figure out is why is my father trying to squeeze you out? I mean, even if he has some reason to feel threatened by you, why would he tell this messy and obvious lie? My father is too careful and prudent to pull a move like this. So, there must be something more going on for him to take this kind of risk.

Nick: Look, nate. I have always admired and respected you. You have become a great friend of this family, even though i know there are times when we don’t deserve it. I really don’t like leaning on that friendship right now, but i don’t have a choice. There’s just too much at stake.

Nate: Why don’t you just tell me what’s going on?

Nick: What I’m about to say to you stays with us, alright? Because it’s shocking. It’s been suggested that ashland’s recovery may be too good to be true.

Nate: Sometimes science can seem like a miracle from the outside, when it’s really the culmination of years of research, trial and error, and deep and painful losses before you see any gains.

Nick: Look. I’m not here to question science, alright? But maybe there wasn’t any science involved at all. You know, people are saying that ashland’s entire medical case is all smoke and mirrors and that maybe he was never sick at all.

Nate: I don’t understand. Why would anyone question ashland’s illness?

Nick: Obviously, nate, i wouldn’t even be talking to you about this if there wasn’t some indication that it was true. And if it is —

Nate: Okay, okay, think about what you’re saying. You’re telling me ashland is lying about having cancer, which would mean he would have coerced multiple doctors to do wildly unethical and illegal things. I-I’ve gotten to know the man pretty well, and I can’t believe he would do something like this. In fact, I would turn my attention to whoever is spreading this rumor. Do they even know ashland or have any credibility? I’m 53, but in my mind

Victoria: My dad [Chuckles] He made me believe that he was done interfering in my personal life. You know, I genuinely believe that he was proud and happy for us at the wedding. I guess that was all just a farce.

Ashland: I don’t know. Maybe he was happy for us back then, especially when he thought I would be gone relatively soon, or — I hate thinking this way — maybe victor was putting up a front in italy all along. Maybe he pretended to support the marriage in order to push through the merger, and the plan was to take control of my company and eventually force me out.

Victoria: Hold on a second. Are you saying that you think my father is behind setting you up and that he just didn’t buy into the scam, but he’s actually behind it?

Victor: Well, the two of you seem to be in a rather serious conversation. Everything alright?

Nick: I was just filling in nate about the rumors about ashland.

Victor: Thank you for for following up, son.

Nate: Victor, I hope you don’t mind me asking. Are you the one behind all of this?

Victor: I’m indeed.

Nate: Listen. I know the reputations of some of the physicians ashland’s worked with. They’re excellent doctors who witnessed this condition firsthand.

Victor: Nate, let me just tell you that ashland locke is not the man he appears to be. He committed an egregious hoax. He not only deceived my family — victoria — and now you.

Nate: I can’t believe he would do something so immoral without unassailable proof.

Victor: Why don’t nicholas and I take you over to newman media, and we will show you what you need to see to believe that you were deceived?

Mariah: I’m not sure we have any answers on the risk that is involved with falling in love.

Tessa: I can tell you that we feel like soul mates because we can’t imagine our lives without each other. But if you’re talking about putting your heart out on the line, I mean, the emotional risk is there. I mean, it might not last forever, and it could totally end in ruin.

Mariah: Okay, but, also, uh, it might not, you know? But you’re just not gonna know until you take the chance, you know? So, can I ask? Are we just talking about love in general, or are we maybe talking about you and moses? Okay. Forget I said anything. I don’t want to put you on the spot. I just want you to know that if you want to talk about anything, we’re here to listen.

Faith: I guess I was asking for myself but not because things are bad with moses, because they’re really good. It’s exactly how it was when we first met, but somehow even better. Like, life just makes more sense when he’s around. Does that sound crazy?

Tessa: Not at all.

Faith: But, also, there’s college, and everything could change. And I don’t want it to, but people don’t always get what they want.

Tessa: Yeah, that’s true.

Mariah: Look. I-I get the conundrum. You know, it can be reassuring to find the one. You feel safe and secure and like nothing can hurt you. But, unfortunately, it’s just not the way things work.

Tessa: So, it does take bravery to let yourself fall in love. And it requires trust… and focusing on each other and being a team. And that’s how you two take the world head on.

Abby: Are you hungry?

Chance: No, I’m okay right now.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Chance: Hey, I’m sorry I’m being so quiet. It just took a lot out of me today.

Abby: Yeah. I completely understand.

Chance: You know, I wanted to take you to dinner. Doesn’t look like that’s gonna happen tonight. So, I apologize.

Abby: You know, I don’t care about going out to eat. I’m just so thankful that you went to therapy and that you’re doing it for our family and for yourself. I will never be able to understand what it was like for you in spain. But I am so grateful that you are facing your trauma head on and that you are fighting for us and for dominic. It fills my heart.

If you have this…

Nate: Did you take this video to the police? Do you even know if the man in it is a doctor in peru? Because what decent doctor would pretend to treat a patient? This makes absolutely no sense.

Victor: I’m telling you. We have two doctors who testified on tape, on videotape, that they were paid a lot of money by ashland locke to concoct this bs story about his health.

Nate: What about the doctor in new york? Or the lab where his initial tests were run? That’s where the cancer diagnosis originated.

Victor: My sources were stonewalled at both places.

Nate: It’s called “medical confidentiality.” The staff at the lab has no reason or right to discuss a patient’s condition. And do you even know where the money came from that was used to pay off the peruvian doctors? Because even if it seems like it can be traced back to ashland, someone could be framing him to try to discredit him.

[ Sighs ] With all due respect, I think you two are the ones being played.

Victor: Nate, you’re a good man. You want to believe people. I’m telling you there’s more damning evidence about ashland locke on the way. He’s a fraud, an out-and-out fraud. He’s dangerous, and we need your help in order to prevent him from doing further damage to victoria.

Victoria: I just don’t think that my father is the one who’s trying to make you look like a liar. I can’t see him stooping that low or trying to hurt me in that way.

Ashland: I-I was just trying to consider the alternatives. That’s all. The only reason it came to mind was because you and I have had no luck trying to think of someone else who might have gone to such extremes.

Victoria: No, I get why your mind would go there, and I can also see how my father would buy into this insanity so quickly. But I can’t picture him — i just can’t picture him creating this long-term, wide-ranging conspiracy. Do you know the amount of lies and treachery that it would take to pull something like that off? It’s just too dark, even for my dad.

Ashland: I’m sorry I brought it up.

Victoria: No! Don’t get me wrong. I am absolutely furious with him. The truth of what he’s done is bad enough. I mean, trying to use some lie to get you out of my life?

[ Sighs ] I’m not gonna let that happen.

Cindy: It was like one of those meet-cutes. We were walking down the street, opposite directions, texting, not even paying attention where we were going, and then phones went flying. I suffered a broken screen, and he suffered a broken ego because he went down like a ton of bricks.

Noah: Okay, that is an exaggeration.

Cindy: Is it?

Noah: Anyway, she told me to watch where I was going. Only she worded it a lot less politely than that.

Cindy: I was upset. Anyone would have been.

Noah: I told her I was just trying to go into the café to get a bite to eat. She just walked out and realized she forgot her purse. So, we went back in.

Cindy: And we chatted while he had dinner. I had dessert. I’m talking about the chocolate mousse, not you, noel.

Noah: It’s, uh, it’s noah.

Cindy: Of course it is! What did I say?

Noah: [ Laughing ] It doesn’t matter.

Faith: Hey, dork.

Noah: Who you calling dork, dork? Cindy, this is my younger sister, my much younger sister.

Cindy: Whoa! Meeting your mom and your sister on the first date? Isn’t it a little early to introduce me to your entire family?

Noah: [ Chuckles ]

Mariah: How about my little sister pondering love — and forever?

Tessa: Yeah, I did not have any of that on my mind at faith’s age.

Mariah: Well, you were dealing with a lot of other things.

Tessa: Yeah, the chaos ith my sister and my parents? But you didn’t have it easy, either.

Mariah: No, I did not, and i definitely wasn’t thinking of finding happily ever after. I mean, I was too busy sleeping on friends’ couches and trying to avoid going home to the woman who raised me.

Tessa: [ Laughs ] I mean, yeah, both of us had it pretty rough. But faith hasn’t had it very easy at all, either.

Mariah: Absolutely — alcohol, medical issues, no shortage of family drama. That’s why I’m just thrilled that she can focus on college and having a boyfriend. You know, just normal teenage things.

Tessa: Yeah, I’m really glad that we get to be there for her.

Mariah: By the way, I was really touched by what you told her about our relationship. You know, you didn’t sugarcoat it. But you showed her that we believe that we can get through anything. And I know that I really put that to the test the last few months, and I know that you were really worried about me, with the abduction and bowie’s birth and all the feelings that came afterwards.

Tessa: I just tried to be there for you the best that I could.

Mariah: And you were. But I just wanted to let you know that you don’t have to be strong for both of us anymore. Okay? I am back on my “a” game. And, you know, even though i have scary thoughts, I know we got this.

Tessa: Okay. Um, I got to ask. What kind of scary thoughts?

Mariah: Well, uh, I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t scared about dom being sick. And then, I think about what would happen if our child got sick, you know, even if we get to be parents, which that’s definitely not guaranteed. So, stuff like that. Are you sorry you asked?

Tessa: [ Laughs ] No, no. I do — I want to know everything that’s going on in your head, but yeah, it’s a lot.

Mariah: Well, that’s my talent is worrying about things that haven’t happened or may never happen.

Tessa: I mean, hey, I get it. The world is scary. The future is scary. And that’s why I’m so glad to have a partner that will help me get through it. You tell me that, and I’m glad that I get to return the favor. New densify from crest pro-health.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Chance: You have no idea what that does for me. And not just making love — being here, holding you, laying with you.

Abby: Yeah. I feel the same. You know, we are gonna have a lifetime of experiences — big ones and little moments, everyday moments, watching our son grow up.

Chance: And we have so much to be thankful for.

Abby: Yeah.

Chance: UM…I just got really hungry. I’m gonna go make us a snack, okay?

Faith: So, what’s up with noah’s date? Is this a thing?

Sharon: Um, I’m not sure. But she seems fun, and he seems to be meeting a lot of new people in town.

Faith: He hasn’t mentioned dating much since he got back. But he doesn’t really talk to me about that kind of stuff, anyway.

Sharon: Well, if it makes you feel any better, he doesn’t talk to me about it, either.

Faith: Well, you are his mom.

Sharon: So?

Faith: So, whether he tells us or not, it’d be nice to see him find someone. Maybe seeing tessa and mariah so happy finally put the idea of finding love and settling down into his head.

Noah: No one’s looking to settle down. Okay, kid?

Faith: Okay, eavesdropper.

Noah: You two really need to find something more exciting to talk about.

Faith: Would finding someone special be so bad? It doesn’t have to be cindy. But love can be scary. But we have to be brave.

Noah: Brave, huh?

Faith: Whatever!

Noah: Yeah.

Faith: I’m gonna go vet this new girl.

Noah: No, please don’T.

Faith: Yeah.

Noah: Don’T.

[ Sighs ] What?

Sharon: Uh, nothing!

Noah: No, no, no, no, that’s not nothing. Look. I know what you’re thinking, and yes, there was the walnut grove woman the other night and cindy tonight.& But I mean, come on. That’s what young, single people are supposed to do, right? We’re supposed to go out and have fun. Doesn’t have to mean anything. So, please. I’m begging you, please. Don’t make this into something weird or find some reason you have to worry about me.

Sharon: Why would I worry?

Nick: Look, nate. We get where you’re coming from. I hope you understand why we need to discuss this with you. None of this looks good. Now, we don’t have all of the pieces, but we have enough to seriously question ashland’s condition. And, as you said, this is an awful deception, almost too heinous to contemplate, but we have to do that for victoria’s sake.

Nate: I was there while ashland was experiencing symptoms. I’ve seen him coughing, out of breath, and weak. And I’m his friend. I stood up for him at his wedding.

Victor: I understand that this comes as a shock to you, okay? And I understand that feeling deceived, like we feel deceived, it’s a hard pill to swallow. Considering that, think of what he’s doing to victoria.

Nate: What I don’t get is the why. Why go to this extreme? For what?

Victor: Easy answer — ashland locke wants to control my company.

Ashland: I hate that victor is putting you through this.

Victoria: You shouldn’t feel sorry for me. You should feel sorry for my father. I am gonna fight him with everything that I’ve got. He has no idea what I’m capable of. But I am not gonna let him get away with this. Take my word for that.

Why hide your skin Do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need? Now you can sell your policy – even a term policy – for an immediate cash payment. We thought we had planned carefully for our retirement. But we quickly realized we needed a way to supplement our income. If you have $100,000 or more of life

Victor: Look, nate. Once you look into ashland locke’s background, check out his reputation, you will understand why it was easy for him to convince victoria to fall in love with him, to use her love and her sympathy to convince her to merge newman enterprises with his corporation. Then he befriended you. I’m sure you wondered why he would befriend you so quickly. He doesn’t even know you, really. But he needed you — needed your medical expertise to substantiate his bs about his medical history.

Nate: No, victor. I’m not gonna let you pull me into your version of events. And I resent the implication that I was used and too trusting to realize it.

Victor: Let me ask yoU. Have you read chanccomm’s article about him? The man is full of lies! He faked his own death to assume someone else’s identity. He is not really ashland locke. He’s bobby defranco.

Nick: Victoria knows all the allegations in that article are true. Now, you could ask her about it yourself, but she is under the spell of ashland locke. She believes every explanation, all of his excuses. He uses her trust to take advantage of her, which is why we need to gather as much proof as we can to make sure that he doesn’t do any more damage to victoria or this family. And, nate, we need your help to do that.

Faith: Social-media influencer — that’s so interesting.

Cindy: Tessa porter?! Oh, my god! What are you doing here?! Don’t answer that. That is none of my business. I just have to tell you that I’m your biggest fan. I love your music.

Tessa: Oh, well, hi. Thank you so much.

Cindy: I’m serious! I know every lyric to every song, and I’ve been to just about every single show that you’ve had in the area.

Tessa: You know what? You actually do look familiar. I’ve probably seen you at one of the clubs downtown.

Cindy: I’ve been to them all! Like I said, super fan, but, i mean, I’m sure that people come up to you all the time to say this stuff to you. You’re just humoring me.

Tessa: Oh, no, no. You have a really friendly smile. I’m usually drawn to people like that when I’m performing.

Cindy: What?! Shut your face! You have just totally made my night. You’re never gonna believe this. Oh, my god! And I don’t know how you could have planned any of this, but this is turning into one of the greatest dates of my life, and it is just getting started! We’re going to that club on market street, and it doesn’t get going for a few hours, and we just decided to come here for some coffee. Oh, I have a great idea. Why don’t you and your fiancée come with us?

Noah: No, I’m sure they have plans, um…

[ Chuckles ]

Chance: [ Sighs ] It wasn’t easy talking to dr. Huffman. I mean, it wasn’t easy to open up to him, the same way it is opening up to everybody. I think it did help, though, that he understands what I’m going through, you know? He saw three tours overseas. He’s felt this way. I mean, he gets it.

Abby: I mean, I think that’s one of the reasons why sharon recommended him to us was because of his military experience.

Chance: Yeah, and, you know, we’ve seen a lot of the same things. So, he understands all the physical issues I’m having — the tension, the spaciness, always being on alert. You know, he gets that. Some of it gets drowned out. It does. You know, he understands that it’s hard for me to hear people say that what happened in spain isn’t my fault. But what he doesn’t get is that when people say that, it’s just empty to me. And I try to believe it. I do. And then when I do, I think to myself, if I really try to forget this, if I try to move past it, am I not just betraying my team again? I mean, don’t those people that gave their lives — they’re not coming home. Don’t they deserve to be remembered? To always be with me? I feel like I owe them that. Looking to get back in your type 2 diabetes zone?

Chance: I’m sorry for how that sounded. I-I just don’t understand why i feel like I have to hold on to all this guilt.

Abby: But that is how you feel.

Chance: And that’s why I know I need help. You know, all this pain has just put a wall between us, and i can’t let that happen.

Abby: I know how hard it is for you to talk about this stuff and for you to open up. Thank you for sharing this with me. I just want to be your safe place.

Chance: You are. I am determined not to fail this mission, okay?

Abby: Yeah.

Cindy: Just checking. Are you having as good a time as I am?

Noah: I’m pretty sure i am.

Cindy: Mariah copeland! The other half or “teriah.” What is happening?

Noah: Cindy, mariah is my other sister.

Cindy: Holy crap! I saw online where you showed up at that one concert and professed your love for tessa. I almost died. Correction — I died. No, I was — I was dead.

Mariah: Well, yeah, I was dying there for a second myself.

Cindy: It was one of the most romantic things that I’ve ever seen in my life. Hon, can you please go get me another espresso?

Noah: Yeah, you sure?

Cindy: Tell me everything about you and tessa! I mean, or whatever it is that you feel comfortable with sharing, which hopefully is everything.

Tessa: Cindy seems cool.

Noah: Yeah, yeah, she is. I forgot what I’d been missing, keeping to myself so much. It’s like faith said. You and mariah are couple goals, but right now I’m just trying to have some fun. I’ll leave the true love to the experts.

Cindy: Does she sing her songs to you?

Mariah: Yes.

Nate: Let’s say the doctors are in on the hoax. Someone coerced and paid them. Do you have any incontrovertible evidence that ashland lied about his condition?

Victor: I have damaging evidence.

Nate: But is it enough to make him come clean?

Victor: Not yet.

Nick: We need the help of a medical expert to stop him. Will you work with us?

Victoria: You have finally crossed the line! There is no coming back from this.

Jack: Keemo is so happy in this picture. Who are these other women?

Phyllis: You don’t recognize them?

Jack: No, I — no, wait, that’s — that’s mai, his half-sister, on the right.

Phyllis: And the other women? Relatives or friends? Do you know what kind of significance they could be to keemo?

Jack: I don’t know. I don’t have a clue who his friends were, who his other relatives might have been. I’m completely in the dark here.

Phyllis: Yeah, I understand. Well, we’ll — we’ll just keep on looking for answers, that’s all. That’s why we’re here. I know it may be painful, but… I’m here to help.

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

Ashland: [ Sighs ] Okay. Hmm.

Victoria: Oh, my goodness, there you are. What took you so long? We both left crimson lights at the same time.

Ashland: You lost me at the traffic light.

Victoria: I did?

Ashland: Yes.

Victoria: Oh, okay, well, whatever. We’re — we’re both here now, and we have lots of privacy. So, you said that there’s something that I need to know and that it’s about my father.

Ashland: Yes, it is.

Victoria: Well, I assume this is about his objections to your new title. What exactly did he say to you in private? On the drive back to the office, I was growing more and more concerned. Is it about your health? Please, you can tell me. Are you feeling worse? Because if that’s what you told my father, then it makes sense why he would object so strongly.

Ashland: Indirectly, it is about my health. More specifically, uh… it’s about my treatment.

Chloe: So when is michael getting home? He’s been gone a while now. Oh, you must miss him.

Lauren: [ Scoffs ] Very much. This is why I was so skeptical about him working for victor again. I told him this was not gonna be a part-time job, but even i didn’t realize that he would be sent to peru for so long.

Chloe: So when is he planning on coming home?

Lauren: [ Sighs ] He keeps telling me soon, but it can’t be soon enough for me. I haven’t heard from him since yesterday. I called him last night, he didn’t pick up. I’ve been texting him all morning — no response.

Chloe: Well, you should bug him again. I mean, if he is anything like kevin, he doesn’t like to text while he’s working.

Lauren: You’re right, okay. Mm-hmm. Okay. Hopefully that will do the trick. And while I’m waiting, I need a distraction. Let’s talk about work. So how are you and chelsea coming along with the plans for the new sally-free fashion label?

Adam: That is a clever way to grow the sports platform. Good thinking.

Sally: You know, I was a little dubious about leaving fashion for the business world, but it’s actually really exciting. It’s invigorating. It feeds a part of my personality. Always a new problem to solve. Speaking of which, are there any updates on the ashland and victoria situation? Do you really think he’s on his way out?

Adam: Um…I’m not sure. I haven’t heard any updates yet.

Sally: I wonder how victoria’s doing. Emotionally, ’cause you said she might be headed for heartbreak.

Victor: Excuse me. I would like a word with my son in private. It’s a family matter. Facing expensive vitamin c creams with dull results?

Jack: What are we doing here? I get lured here blindly by some anonymous text. I came exactly as directed, and, what, silence? We’re supposed to just comb through all of these letters that keemo wrote to me, which apparently I was never supposed to have read. What am I supposed to make of this?

Phyllis: I don’t know what to make of it either. Maybe it is some sadistic prank by somebody. Maybe it is. Maybe they don’t even know we’re here. Maybe they’re waiting outside. I-I don’t think they’re outside. I think that everything we’re supposed to find out — I think it’s in this house, I think it’s right here.

Jack: You really think whoever sent these texts told me all that they know, and I’m just supposed to figure out the rest?

Phyllis: I don’t know. Maybe they’re just trying to point you in the right direction? Give you the next thing to find? I don’t know.

Jack: I want to know why i was led here.

Phyllis: I know. And what you’re supposed to be looking for — I get it.

Adam: Sally, do you mind? I have to talk to my father.

Sally: Of course. Yeah, I know family always comes first with the newmans. It’s getting late, so I’m just gonna grab a bite at society.

Adam: Well, I’ll join you for a drink when I get done here.

Sally: Perfect, mm-hmm. Bye.

Victor: So, son, I hope you kept the details of ashland’s latest deception to yourself. Now, I understand that you and your new coo have become quite close.

Adam: Dad, look —

Victor: I’m telling you, we don’t need word of this to get out, okay? And I don’t think she’s known for her discretion, is she?

Adam: You can trust me. I haven’t said a word to her about ashland faking his illness. Why would I do that when I don’t even know where things stand myself?

Victor: I’ve told ashland locke to get the hell out of town and leave victoria, or else I will go to her and reveal everything to her myself.

Adam: Really? That’s how you’re protecting her?

Victoria: What about your treatment? Have you had a setback?

Ashland: I’m just a little hesitant right now because i know how close you are to your father.

Victoria: Well, you know how complicated my history is with him, but, I mean, I don’t need protection from his latest machinations, whatever they are. So just tell me.

Ashland: I’m also still struggling with trying to understand why victor would do something like this. Um…

Victoria: What are you talking about?

Ashland: Apparently, your father has taken the word of some disgruntled doctor at the peruvian clinic who was recently fired.

Victoria: Taken his word about what?

Ashland: This doctor, this — this obvious quack, claims that I lied about my medical condition and falsified medical records, paid off various labs and clinics.

Victoria: I don’t understand. Are you saying that he’s accusing you of lying about getting better?

Ashland: No. He’s accusing me of not being sick in the first place. Saying that I don’t have and have never had cancer. In 15 years you drink about 15,000 cups of coffee.

Victoria: That’s insane. My father thinks you lied about being sick?

Ashland: It gets worse.

Victoria: I can’t imagine how.

Ashland: Victor is using this information as some sort of a threat against me. He’s trying to force me out of your life.

Victoria: And exactly how does he think he’s gonna do that?

Ashland: Basically, he just wants me to disappear, and if i don’t do that, he’s threatening to tell you that I’ve been lying about being sick all along, which I need you to understand is 100%, absolutely not true.

Victoria: What you’re saying right now, it’s — [Chuckles] It’s outrageous.

Ashland: Yes, I agree, and that’s exactly why I’m telling you about this now. I hate to say this, but at this moment, I do not trust your father, and I certainly don’t want you to hear this ridiculous accusation for the first time from him. Besides, we’ve made a pact that we won’t keep secrets from each other anymore, right?

Victoria: Why would my father do this? Why would he suddenly turn on you?

Ashland: I’ve been asking the same question myself. He’s been so supportive of our marriage. He’s been our protector. He even stood by me when others were threatening to expose my past.

Victoria: What has changed?

Ashland: I don’t know. Unless victor honestly believes the lies from this horrible doctor who, for reasons I can’t understand, obviously has it out for me.

Victoria: I just don’t understand why my father would think that’s credible. I met with your oncologist in new york. I’ve seen your medical records. There is absolutely no doubt that you have cancer. The true miracle here is that you’re responding so well to the treatment.

Ashland: You’d think he’d be happy for us.

Victoria: Exactly! I would think that my father would come to me if he thought this was true. I would be the first person he would come to, so I cannot imagine what in the world he must be thinking.

Victor: I’m very afraid that if victoria learns that ashland locke just used her to initiate this merger between newman enterprises and his own corporation, it’s gonna be devastating to her.

Adam: Yeah, I guess I can see your logic in that, but either way, she’s gonna be devastated. Unless…

Victor: Unless what?

Adam: Unless nick was right. She’s managed to forgive him for everything else she’s learned about him, so maybe she’ll find a way to forgive him for this, as well.

Victor: I don’t think this time she will.

Adam: Have you even considered that possibility? I mean, what would that mean for us? Don’t you think that you should be prepared to protect the family and your empire, even yourself, from that outcome?

Victor: What do you think I’m doing, son? It’s imperative that I convince him to get the hell out of town. Leave her. That’s a heartache that’s easier to deal with than to learn what he has done to her. He has used victoria. The whole wedding in tuscany, it’s a ruse to engineer this merger. He’s not gonna get away with it.

Lauren: I’m so happy to hear that chelsea’s meetings in new york are going so well.

Chloe: Yeah, she’s just wining and dining all of her old contacts. You know, she’s got some pretty powerful connections that can help us source fabric and secure our manufacturer. You know, we are a little behind on summer deadlines, so we really need to pull as many strings as we can.

Lauren: But you think you’re gonna be able to get the work out on time, right?

Chloe: Oh, if chelsea has anything to say about it, we will.

[ Both laugh ]

Lauren: Well, good, I’m impressed. Because, I mean, I have relationships in that area, as well, but fenmore’s production schedule is so tight, there is no room to add anything, so I’m very impressed. I’m very impressed. Good for you for taking the initiative to getting your line out.

Chloe: Well, the sooner we are in stores, the sooner we are making money for fenmore’S. And listen, if you want us to make an introduction to any of our connections, let me know because I think we could probably get you some better deals.

Lauren: Really?

Sally: Well, hello.

Lauren: Sally.

Chloe: How are you? It’s been a while.

Sally: I’m good. How’s your new line coming along?

Chloe: You know, it is still in the beginning stages, but it’s very exciting.

Sally: Great. I look forward to seeing it at fenmore’S.

Chloe: So, how is your new job at newman media? Enjoying trading in your sketchpad for spreadsheets?

Sally: I think I found my new niche. Turns out I’m really good at business, and adam and I make a great team.

Phyllis: I don’t know why you were led here. But we can’t stop now. We’ve got to find the answers.

Jack: No, you’re right, you’re right. Maybe if I can read through these letters again, maybe there’s some kind of clue.

Phyllis: Okay, okay, good. Good, I’ll help you. I’ll help you with that. So, okay, let’S… um, do you mind if I…?

Jack: Yeah, yeah, go ahead.

Phyllis: So this — this is nice. No postage stamp.

Jack: That’s a pretty picture.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Jack: Unsent. Do you think there’s something significant there?

Phyllis: I don’t know. That’s hard to tell. Alright. This is really beautiful.

Jack: Wait, wait, stop.

Phyllis: Alright. Does that mean something to you?

Jack: No. But that’s the thing, it means nothing to you, it could mean the world to keemo. I will never know why, ’cause i can’t ask him, and I just think it’s wrong for us to be poring through all of his personal items.

Phyllis: We’re just looking for some truths.

Jack: You know what? It’s one thing to read letters that keemo wrote to me — even though he intended for me to never see them — it’s another thing to rifle through his most prized possessions.

Phyllis: Okay, jack, you’re — you’re going back and forth, you know, between being curious and feeling like you’re violating keemo’s memory. I’m just gonna be blunt here. Keemo’s gone. I mean, I’m sorry. But he’s gone. You aren’t violating his memory by going through his things. And by the way, I mean, look at how this whole thing has played out. Here we are, and this box is here. It was not left here by accident. So, really, whoever has been sending you the texts, obviously they worked it out so that this would be the only thing left in the house and we would go through it.

Jack: So your theory is that this is some kind of treasure hunt so I can piece together keemo’s life.

Phyllis: Listen, I completely understand if you don’t want me to go through all of this with you. I’m trying to be supportive, that’s all. But you just can’t give up now. Jack, I think the answers that you’re looking for, I think you’ll find them here, but you just got to keep your eyes open and keep on looking.

Feeling sluggish or weighed

down?

Chloe: I’m glad you’re enjoying your new job.

Sally: Yeah, it’s an opportunity of a lifetime.

Lauren: I need to make a business call.

Sally: Huh. Was it something I said?

Chloe: No doubt. [ Chuckles ] But I’m glad she stepped away. I’ve been wanting to talk to you.

Adam: So what if ashland doesn’t go along with your plan? I mean, do you really think he’s gonna give in to your ultimatum?

Victor: I don’t think he can afford not to.

Adam: Well [Sighs] You better have your evidence all lined up so he knows you can back up your threat.

Victor: Unfortunately, I’ve not been able to get in contact with michael baldwin ever since I confronted ashland locke. However, michael baldwin assured me that he was gathering all the pertinent information and sending it to me by courier.

[ Cellphone rings ] One second. I should have that soon. What’s this? One of my investigators. Yeah. What have you got? Okay, you stay on it.

Adam: So, what’s going on?

Victor: Apparently michael baldwin has disappeared. So did the two peruvian doctors. He moved out of his hotel in lima, and neither of them have been seen again.

Adam: This doesn’t sound good.

Victor: No. Doesn’t sound good at all.

Adam: You think ashland got to him, stopped him from sending the proof?

Victor: Well, I’m gonna deal with it.

Ashland: You know, for your sake, I’ve been trying to rationalize your father’s actions. I mean, I know he’s still a very protective father. He’s also a protective mogul. And maybe now that I’m not, you know, dying anymore, maybe he just doesn’t want anyone other than newman blood running the company that he built.

Victoria: I don’t think that’s it. At various points throughout the company’s history, people outside of the family have held the ceo title.

Ashland: Then maybe he’s threatened by me specifically. Maybe he just wants me out of the picture and out of newman/locke for good, and this would certainly be an excellent way to get rid of me.

Victoria: I just don’t believe that.

Ashland: But I can certainly understand the mind-set. I mean, this is his legacy.

Victoria: Yes, but newman/locke is your legacy, too, and accusing you of lying about being sick, it’s just outrageous. I can’t believe my father would think for one minute that i would find you capable of doing anything so heinous.

Ashland: Well, I have been called the locke ness monster.

Victoria: Stop it. I hate that name. I hate that. It bears no resemblance to the man that I love, and I just — i don’t want to joke about that.

Ashland: Okay. But there was a time when that name fit like a glove. That man doesn’t exist anymore. And that’s because of yoU.

Phyllis: Okay, you know, let’s end off for today. Let’s go check in at the hotel, eat something. You must be hungry. I’ve starved. I could use a hot bath, as well.

Jack: That’s probably a good idea.

Phyllis: Yeah, I’ll call for a car.

Jack: This is a little more overwhelming than I imagined.

Phyllis: I can imagine. Just getting a car, and we’ll… I mean, or we can — we can stay and just still take a look at some things.

Jack: Tickets to a broadway show, three years ago. Who did he take with him? More beautiful postcards of vietnam. None of them sent. Obviously from…a wedding.

Luan: It’s lovely, darling. Thank you.

Jack: And there’s more to come.

Luan: You put me on the spot. Here you are giving me early gifts, while I’m totally without an idea for you. You’re a difficult man to buy for.

Jack: Oh, go to the toy section. I’m a kid at heart.

Luan: I’m serious. I’ve been wracking my brain trying to think of some unique surprise. Something you’ve always wanted.

Jack: I already have something I’ve always wanted. All wrapped up in a beautiful gift named luan.

Luan: You’re a hopeless romantic.

Jack: Only since you walked back into my life. How waking up with you, every day is christmas.

Luan: I feel the same way. All those years I never dared hope. Yet here I am. Christmas 1995, standing in front of a warm with my american gi.

Jack: Never forget one thing. You have already given me the greatest gift I could ever get. A son. So stop worrying about what’s on those store shelves, okay? Not only have I found you, i found the son I always wanted. Santa outdid himself, with maybe a little help from the guy upstairs. This is gonna be the merriest christmas ever and the happiest new year.

Phyllis: That’s very pretty. Do you think that it belongs to one of the girls in the photo?

Jack: No, this was luan’S. I gave it to her one christmas. After she died, I — I sent it to keemo, along with some other keepsakes. This is a sign.

Phyllis: A sign of it?

Jack: A sign that he did not erase me from his life. It’s a picture of me and luan at our wedding. I’m mark

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

We decided it’s time

to put a different

Chloe: Now that it’s just the two of us, I can be more honest. I genuinely liked working with you. I think that you are extremely talented and you have a real gift for design, and I am proud of what we created at newman fashion.

Sally: Me too. Everything was peachy. Till chelsea showed up.

Chloe: Well, I’m sorry that the two of you never found a way to work together.

Sally: Well, it wasn’t really that we couldn’t find it — just chelsea didn’t want it.

[ Sighs ] Anyway, I want you to know that I really, really enjoyed working with you too, and I’m sorry that it didn’t last. But, hey, it seems like everyone landed exactly where they’re supposed to.

Chloe: Well, I hope so. And however things have turned out, I just hope that you haven’t given up on your dreams.

Sally: Nope. Haven’t been given up on them at all.

Jack: Our wedding day was something I thought would never come. I thought I’d lost her forever. But somehow the stars aligned and we found each other again and were given a second chance. And perhaps the biggest miracle, I found out we had a son together. Keemo was angry at first. I think he felt abandoned, but over time, with patience, with kindness, I eventually won him over. He was the best man at this wedding.

Phyllis: Well, so the two of you were close for a time.

Jack: Oh, yeah, which made it all the more painful when he cut me out of his life.

Phyllis: Tell me more about the wedding.

Jack: The wedding was small but beautiful. Was a mix of american and vietnamese traditions. Luan wore red. And she was radiant. We wrote our own vows. Luan… my gentle angel, I choose you above all others to share my life with, now and forever.

Phyllis: Wow. It’s truly remarkable how you two found each other again.

Jack: It was nothing short of a miracle. We were supposed to spend the rest of our lives together as a family.

[ Applause ]

Adam: Lauren. Chloe. Well, I hope things are going well with the new fashion line.

Chloe: Yes, they are, and chelsea is in new york right now handling some business, but you probably already know that ’cause I know you two are still in touch regarding connor.

Adam: So, lauren, how — how are you? Have you heard from michael?

Lauren: Well, seeing that he is on business for victor, i would think that you and your father would know more about his status than I would.

Adam: Well, I seriously doubt that. I’m sure that you talk with him far more frequently than we do. Ready for that drink?

Sally: Absolutely. It was really nice talking with you, chloe. Lauren.

Chloe: Hey, you okay?

Lauren: He hasn’t responded to my text, so I called him, he didn’t pick up. I left a message, but…he’s been so good at staying in contact since he’s been in peru, and now this — this silence and adam’s fake nonchalance has me very worried.

Chloe: Oh, first of all, pay no attention to adam. And I’m sure that michael will be in touch with you soon. He probably just doesn’t have cell service and he’s not getting any of your messages.

Lauren: I wish that were true, but I think I — I need more information.

Victor: Yes, lauren. How are you?

Lauren: Well, I’d be a lot better if my husband were responding to my texts and my calls. Have you spoken to him recently?

Victor: Well, yes, of course I’ve been communicating with him. You know, and as soon as he’s finished with his work in south america, he’ll return home.

Lauren: [ Sighs ] Well, if you hear from him, please, please have him call me.

Victor: Of course. Now, you have a good day, alright?

Lauren: Thank you, victor.

Chloe: So did he have any answers?

Lauren: None that make me feel any better. Most bladder leak pads were similar.

Sally: Is everything okay with victor? I know he said it was “family business,” but seeing that I am the coo of one of the newman family enterprises, I think i should be included in what’s going on.

Adam: Hmm.

[ Chuckles ] Don’t push it.

Sally: Fine. But I could tell something was up, and it was far more urgent than a family picnic.

Adam: You have gotten all the details that you’re gonna get. And believe me, it is for your protection. You don’t want to be anywhere near this. Because it might not work out the way that victor hopes.

Victoria: You know you’re entirely self-made. I have nothing to do with the man that you’ve become.

Ashland: I’m not sure that you fully understand how profoundly your love has changed me. Victoria, there are things that I have done in my past that i would never think about doing today now that I’m with you.

Victoria: You’ve been through a lot this past year. I think that’s given you a new perspective.

Ashland: Yes, but it’s your love for me and my love for you that has made me a different and far better man. You somehow have put that other guy [Chuckles] Out of his misery and banished him forever, and for that, I will be eternally grateful.

Victoria: Those are beautiful words, but you know the credit doesn’t belong to me — it belongs to you. And if I’ve learned one thing in my life, it’s that you can’t change a person unless that person wants to be changed.

Ashland: Mm.

Victoria: You are very ambitious and you’re a survivor. Yeah, I know you’ve made some bad choices, but so has my family. They’re not innocent in that, and my father chief among them.

Ashland: That’s true. We all make mistakes, and victor newman is certainly no saint.

Victoria: Which is why I just can’t believe and accept that he has turned on us this way.

Jack: [ Chuckles ]

Phyllis: What is that?

Jack: It’s a statement of paternity. I’m amazed he still had this. I had this drawn up and gave it to him after the wedding ceremony.

Phyllis: He kept it after all this time. Meant something to him.

Jack: Can’t help but wonder just how deeply conflicted he was. If we’d ever had a chance to reconnect, be face-to-face, if i could’ve changed his mind in some way… could’ve re-established a father-son relationship and put all that pain of the past behind us.

Phyllis: Yeah, don’t torture yourself like that. You’re never gonna know.

Jack: What if I had disregarded all those angry e-mails cutting me out of his life? What if I’d just decided to stand firm, to not back off? I mean, I thought I was respecting his wishes — what if that was wrong? Isn’t it a parent’s job to know when a child needs you to push back? To stand firm, to not give up? That there are needs behind all of that anger and accusation?

[ Sighs ]

These are the faces

Phyllis: I don’t think you should go down that path. I know this is hard for you. But it’s also really hard for me…to watch you struggle with something for which there’s no longer a solution.

Jack: Part of why we came here is for closure. I don’t know that I can have that without asking the tough questions.

Phyllis: Hey, I understand, but maybe now is not the time.

[ Sighs ] Let’s — let’s deal with the real reason we came here — the mystery behind who’s sending the texts.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah, you’re right. We should stay focused.

[ Sniffs ] I need to get out of here. I…

[ Sighs ] It’s just been a long day. I —

Phyllis: Yeah, it has.

Jack: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: All of those people meant something to keemo. Could one of them be behind who is sending those text messages?

Sally: Just answer one question for me.

Adam: No.

Sally: Come on, hear me out. If victor’s plan with ashland and victoria — whatever it is — fails, will the fallout affect you?

Adam: I doubt it. At least not in a negative way.

Sally: What do you mean?

Adam: If…if victor miscalculated and it creates a rift with victoria, the dynamic could dramatically change at newman/locke…which might just end up working in my favor.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Ashland: Hello, victor. I’ve been expecting your call.

Victor: No more stalling. You have one hour or I take everything I know straight to victoria.

Ashland: Hmm.

[ Sighs ] Do it. I’m not going anywhere.

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Kevin: There are a million logical reasons to explain why michael’s been out of touch. You know he can take care of himself.

Lauren: I do, and that’s why I’m so worried.

Ashland: You’ve spoken to victor.

Nate: Tell me you haven’t been lying to me and the entire newman family this whole time.

Jack: This was not here last time.

Phyllis: Huh. It’s a picture of a young girl. Says “allie” with a phone number.

Proofread by Anita

Esme: I don’t know what’s sadder, that you can’t take responsibility for taping your revolting little spectacle and sending it out to the world…

Cameron: We didn’t even know it existed.

Esme: …Or that you can’t do a halfway decent job of blaming me for it. If you are so hell-bent on blaming someone, don’t look at me. I wasn’t there. Why don’t you ask someone who was?

Trina: What’s going on?

Cameron: What was supposed to be a private moment between Joss and me was filmed and made public.

Trina: You mean —

Josslyn: There’s a video of me and Cam from the cabin, and it just played in front of Professor Khan’s class.

Trina: O-oh, my god, Joss. I’m so sorry.

Esme: Are you, though?

Harmony: You’re cold? Well, we can fix that. I can get you a blanket.

Kevin: You’re Harmony, yes?

Harmony: Yeah, that’s right. And you’re Ryan’s brother, Dr. Collins. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you visit before.

Kevin: No, I limit contact with my brother whenever possible.

Harmony: So what made you show up today?

Kevin: Curiosity. I understand you’re Ryan’s primary caregiver. How would you assess his condition?

Harmony: Uh, it’s unchanged. He remains locked in, but he communicates only by blinking.

Kevin: So I’ve heard. Hello, Ryan.

Maxie: Hey, I hope you don’t mind Bailey Louise crashing our ladies’ lunch.

Britt: Hi! Of course I don’t. It’s about time I officially met my niece.

Maxie: Oh, by all means. Bailey Lou, this is your Auntie Britt. Hi.

Britt: I’m your resident bad influence. Okay? I promise to send you home all sticky and keep all your secrets.

Maxie: Speaking of secrets, can you forgive me for mine?

Laura: I do think this is our best shot at finding out what Victor’s real agenda is.

Sam: I agree. Now we just have to iron out the logistical issues.

Drew: Victor is not gonna be easy to manipulate. Our execution has got to be flawless.

Laura: Which is why we shouldn’t loop in any more people. Can we agree on that? The fewer people, the better?

Drew: Absolutely.

[ Knock on door ]

Dante: Hey, I was in the neighborhood and thought I’d stop by. Oh, you got company. Um… should I come back another time?

Ava: This is a pleasant surprise.

Victor: I’m only sorry Nikolas isn’t here. I was, uh — I was hoping to share some tea with my nephew.

Ava: Oh, are we talking literal tea or juicy gossip?

Victor: [ Chuckles ] As fun as the latter would be, I’m afraid Darjeeling is more what I had in mind.

Ava: Well, that can be arranged. Will I do since Nikolas isn’t here?

Victor: Well, what I was hoping to discuss with my nephew I could happily relay to his charming wife. It’s about Spencer. The, um — the poor boy’s struggling, and I’m afraid you and Nikolas are just making things worse.

Kevin: So, tell me more about Ryan’s communication skills. You say he can blink out complex messages?

Harmony: Yeah, well, it depends on the caregiver. Um, Ryan and I can communicate pretty effectively with the letter board, but it doesn’t always go so well with the — with the other staff.

Samuel: May I help you?

Nikolas: Here to visit Spencer. You know who I am. My Uncle Victor hired you to look after Spencer. So why don’t you go find him? I’d like to see my son.

Samuel: But does your son want to see you?

Britt: Here we go. Maxie, there’s nothing to forgive.

Maxie: Yeah, but Bailey’s your family. And I kept her hidden from you. Not that that was my intention. I mean, plan was for you to deliver her.

Britt: Yeah, but how could we have known Cyrus would try to kill me and I’d end up on the run with Jason? I mean… things happened. I-it’s okay. I understand. And you kept my beautiful niece safe. And now you’re both here. I’m so grateful and really proud of you.

Maxie: Thank you. But I just hate that Peter got his hands on her at all.

Britt: I know, but it was ultimately your quick thinking that saved your daughter. And, Maxie, Peter’s gone. We don’t ever have to worry about him again.

Maxie: Yeah, we don’t have to worry about Peter. But he didn’t take Bailey on his own. He was incarcerated. He was hospitalized. There’s another person out there that is responsible for abducting Bailey, and they’re free as a bird right now.

Laura: Dante, come on in.

Dante: Laura, Drew.

Drew: Hey.

Dante: Uh… what am I walking in on?

Laura: Um…a plot.

Dante: A plot?

Laura: Mm.

Dante: Sounds both illegal and dangerous.

Laura: It’s definitely risky, and the legality is kind of murky, so we’re gonna call this “unofficial.”

Sam: But necessary.

Dante: Well, it has to be if the mayor’s involved.

Laura: Well, it could be considered a matter of public safety, but actually, the scope of this goes way beyond my interest as a mayor. I’m here as mother, as a grandmother. And even though this plan gives me pause, I am committed to doing what must be done.

Drew: Sounds like you’re considering bringing Dante in, Laura.

Sam: We can trust him.

Laura: Yeah, I know. Would you like to join us? I mean, given your position, I understand if you don’t want to help us, but I need your discretion either way.

Dante: Yeah, of course. Alright, I’m in.

Laura: [ Chuckles ] Just like that?

Dante: Yeah, I trust you, you trust me. What are we doing?

Laura: Wow. Okay. Oh, dear, look at the time. Um, you know what? I am gonna let Drew and Sam fill you in on the details, because Kevin’s waiting for me and I’m already late. Um… don’t anyone make a move without consulting me first, okay?

Drew: Absolutely not. Yeah, we’ll reach out as soon as the plan gets solidified.

Laura: Okay, great. Welcome aboard. Thanks.

[ Door opens ]

Dante: The plan to do what?

[ Door closes ]

Drew: Stop Victor Cassadine.

Victor: I was visiting Spencer earlier today, and, uh, I’m afraid he’s devastated at not being able to visit his mother’s grave on the anniversary of her death.

Ava: Is that somehow my fault?

Victor: Well, of course it is. It’s entirely your fault. You pressed charges.

Ava: Spencer stalked and terrorized me and my child.

Victor: Not his finest hour, I agree. But then I’ve always thought it best to keep family squabbles in-house.

Ava: Well, what’s done is done. Can’t change the past.

Victor: Agreed. But you can change your future plans.

Ava: Any plans in particular? Well, now that you mention it, I think it best if you and Nikolas rethink your vow renewal.

Kevin: My brother appears unresponsive.

Harmony: Why don’t you let me try? Ryan, do you need some eye drops? That’s a no.

Kevin: So your eyes aren’t dry. You just have nothing to say to me. Let’s keep it that way. Harmony.

Spencer: Thanks, Samuel. It’s okay.

Nikolas: I have to admit, I’m surprised you’re willing to see me. Last time I was here, you told me not to bother coming back.

Spencer: You can thank my better angels for a change of heart. One angel in particular.

Nikolas: Does this angel have a name?

Trina: What the hell are you trying to imply?

Trina: Just wondering, are you sorry for Joss and Cam, or are you apologizing for something more?

Trina: Like what?

Esme: Whoever recorded and e-mailed that video was in the cabin.

Trina: And you’ve got the nerve to be pointing your crooked finger at me?

Cameron: Nobody’s pointing fingers.

Josslyn: Oh, I am, right in her face.

Esme: Once again, Joss, spence and I left that night. But, of course, Trina probably doesn’t remember much from that night. You were pretty out of it.

Cameron: Okay, there’s got to be an explanation to all this.

Trina: Oh, there is. You guys were set up.

Britt: Austin and my mom are convinced that Victor Cassadine’s involved.

Maxie: Yeah, but they can’t prove it.

Britt: Yet. There’s no way my mother’s letting this go.

Maxie: Anna and Robert aren’t gonna drop it, either. But you know what? I’m really tired of looking over my shoulder and jumping at shadows. I just want to relax and hang out with my kids, you know, spend time with my precious baby girl.

Britt: Aww. How are James and Georgie feeling about their little sister?

Maxie: Aww, a bright spot in all this. They’re so in love.

Britt: As are you. I can see it.

Maxie: Well, you know, it’s new. Anything’s possible. But I’m not gonna rush things.

Britt: I was referring to Bailey.

Maxie: Oh. Right.

Britt: [ Laughs ] Who are you talking about?

Laura: Thank you. [ Chuckles ]

Kevin: Well, I hope your day was more productive than mine.

Laura: [ Sighs ] Well, that remains to be seen. What happened at spring ridge?

Kevin: Ryan refused to communicate with me. He blinks messages to be understood by the caregivers and the medical staff. In fact, I saw him interact with his primary caregiver, but he absolutely refused to acknowledge me.

Laura: What does that mean?

Kevin: I’m not sure. But it makes me uneasy.

Spencer: Uncle Victor urged me to be more receptive to your visits, despite any, uh, misgivings I might have.

Nikolas: And you listened to him?

Spencer: Well, why wouldn’t I? He listens to me. Believe it or not, uncle Victor holds you in high esteem.

Nikolas: I’m surprised. I wouldn’t expect Victor to be my champion.

Spencer: Well, here’s something else that might surprise you. Uncle Victor has never said a word against you. He always insists that family is what matters most, which is why it’s so surprising to me that you never seem to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Nikolas: My dealings with Victor are complicated, but I do agree with him on the importance of family. That’s why I’m here today, of all days.

Spencer: So you remember.

Nikolas: It’s been almost two decades since you lost your mother. It still seems like it was yesterday. I regret that you’ve lost so much in your young life.

Spencer: Well, I lost you… twice.

Nikolas: You haven’t lost me. I’ve lost you.

Ava: Our vow renewal is none of your business.

Victor: [ Sighs ] And therein lies the problem. You and Nikolas want to live in your own private little bubble. And while that might be very romantic, I don’t think either of you considered the effect it has on Spencer. It’s driven him to these sad, desperate acts in an attempt to get his father’s love and attention.

Ava: Spencer wants to break us up.

Victor: Well, of course he does. Why wouldn’t he? He has to watch the two of you so deeply in love, it’s to the exclusion of anyone else, including him. H-how do you think that makes him feel?

Ava: Spencer is a young man. He’s not a child. And from what I’ve seen, he should be less concerned with his father’s love life and more concerned with his own.

Trina: Only one person at that cabin was twisted enough to gift a teddy bear with Ryan chamberlain’s voice to an innocent child.

Josslyn: Or torch Ava’s car and leave her murdered daughter’s hospital badge underneath it.

Esme: Those were terrible mistakes.

Josslyn: Mistakes? Because you have regrets? Or because you got caught?

Trina: And now everyone knows what kind of soulless person you really are.

Esme: I messed up. I don’t know how many times I can apologize. Forever, I guess, but suggesting that I set up Joss and Cam? Nice deflection, Trina.

Trina: When someone shows you who they are, believe them. You have had trouble follow you since you first stepped foot into Port Charles. And now you expect us to believe that this disgusting stunt is somehow beneath you?

Cameron: Hey, guys, let’s just not do this right now.

Trina: I don’t want to do this at all, Cam. And I’m sorry if this is making things harder for you and Joss, but Esme’s coming for me, and I’ll be damned if I don’t defend myself!

Esme: No. You’re right. Trina’s not to blame here. I’m the one at fault.

Britt: Austin? You two are a thing? Officially?

Maxie: We’re officially trying it out.

Britt: Ooh! But I knew Austin liked you. I just figured after he pointed Victor in Bailey’s direction, his chances with you had dropped to none and never.

Maxie: Yeah, Austin majorly messed up, but he apologized. And if you take into consideration how supportive he’s been and his quirky personality that just cracks me up, I don’t know, I want to see where it goes. Slowly. Super slowly.

Britt: Well, after what happened with Peter, I-I’m very proud of you for not rushing into things so fast. Very pragmatic.

Maxie: My kids just got their mom back. I need to settle in and re-establish stability for them. And then there’s Deception. We’re coming up on the IPO. And I’ve done, like, nothing to contribute. So “officially unofficial” is all I can handle with Austin at the moment. What about you? Anyone new on the horizon?

Britt: Same as always. I mean, work keeps me busy.

Maxie: Work always keeps you busy. What’s really keeping you from seeing someone?

Josslyn: You admit that you’re behind this?

Esme: In a manner of speaking. I pushed for the weekend getaway and described it as a couples’ trip, which made Trina feel like an outsider. Then I asked those provocative questions during the drinking game. It was immature and petty, and I’m sorry. Had I known it would push Trina over the edge…

Trina: Oh, hell no! You haven’t seen me go over the edge!

Cameron: It’s not worth it.

Trina: No! Not when she’s talking all this trash about me!

Esme: I had no idea you had issues with anger, Trina. You always seem so poised. But if my psychology coursework has taught me anything, it’s that sometimes the people who seem the most controlled have an undercurrent of behavioral dysfunction.

Trina: Who the hell are you calling dysfunctional, you conniving bitch?

Nikolas: You know, we both have a lot to answer for. I say like father, like son. Seems accountability’s something we both struggle with, but I’m certain of one thing. You’re the greatest gift of my life, Spencer. I planned to tell Courtney that today when I visited her grave.

Spencer: You visited mom’s grave?

Nikolas: ‘Cause I knew you couldn’t and because I had some things I wanted to say to her.

Spencer: Like what?

Nikolas: I wanted to apologize for failing you. You would’ve been so much better off if your mother had lived. I wanted to ask for help.

Spencer: What kind of help?

Nikolas: Help being a better father to you. I didn’t get a chance to say any of it because sonny was there. And despite everything going on with his own life, he was quick to point out the mistakes that I’ve made with you.

Spencer: Yeah, that sounds like Uncle Sonny.

Nikolas: [ Sighs ] I’m not his biggest fan. But… he certainly cares about you. So do I.

Spencer: I know, father. But what about Ava? Where does your wife fit into all of this?

Harmony: I’m surprised you chose “Wuthering Heights.” Although I guess it’s not really a romance, if you read the novel. It’s about the price of obsession, isn’t it?

Victor: I am simply trying to promote family harmony.

Ava: By criticizing Nikolas and me?

Victor: Your desire to recommit yourselves to each other is lovely. No, actually, it’s inspiring. But isn’t a vow renewal also a chance to recommit yourselves to melding your families together? And how can you do that without including Spencer?

Ava: What are you suggesting, that we call off the ceremony?

Victor: Oh, no, no, no. Of course not. But as I said, it’s a family affair, and as such, well, surely you have to include the entire family.

Ava: I appreciate that sentiment. But Nikolas and I want a drama-free ceremony. It is, after all, still about us.

Victor: Yeah, of course it is. But Nikolas and Spencer are in a very precarious position right now, and I’m sure you wouldn’t want to widen the gap between them. And I’m afraid that a small, intimate ceremony would do just that. Now, if it’s a matter of expense —

Ava: It is not.

Victor: Well, excellent. Then it’s all settled.

Ava: Whatever gave you that impression? Please, Victor, do sit back down.

Dante: So, you think Victor’s after you.

Drew: He tried to activate my conditioning a couple weeks ago on the pier. Didn’t work because he had the wrong tarot card. But it all fits. Victor was helping Peter because Peter had promised him the means to control me.

Dante: To what end? I mean, I know — I know you have combat experience, skills. A lot of ex-military do. Why is he going through the trouble for you?

Sam: Because he wants Drew’s memories.

Drew: The theory is, is that he’s gonna activate my conditioning and then he’s gonna order me to tell him something.

Dante: Something?

Drew: Yeah, probably from one of my classified ops when I was a seal. But it doesn’t matter, because Andre Maddox said that those memories, they’re gone. They cannot be accessed.

Sam: But Victor doesn’t know that. So we’re gonna pick up where Peter left off and make Victor think that it’s still possible.

Dante: How?

Drew: We’re gonna supply Victor with a tarot card, make him think it’s the one that Peter never handed over.

Sam: He’s gonna want to use it on him.

Drew: Exactly. I’m gonna play along. Like, whether he asks me a question or he orders me to do something, it doesn’t matter. We’re gonna find out what his objective is.

Dante: You’ll be putting yourself in a pretty vulnerable spot. You sure you want to do that?

Drew: Absolutely. I want Cassadine out of all of our lives for — for good.

Dante: So how do we get him the card?

Sam: Uh, we’re still working on that one.

Dante: Too bad you can’t just put it in an envelope and slip it under his door, huh?

Sam: Yeah, th-that — that would be nice.

Dante: Mm-hmm.

Sam: But you got any better ideas…

Drew: In order for this to work, Victor’s got to believe that he found the card himself. I-I-I just wonder if Peter knew why Victor wanted to activate my condition.

Dante: Well, that point is moot because Peter’s dead.

Sam: Dante, you are a genius. I know how we’re gonna get that tarot card to Victor.

Drew: How?

Sam: Peter’s gonna give it to him.

Esme: If I had any idea you were capable of hurting our friends this way, I wouldn’t have provoked you that night, Trina.

Josslyn: Are you psycho or just stupid? We’re not friends, Esme. And I wouldn’t spit on you if you were on fire.

Esme: I’m sorry you feel that way.

Josslyn: You’re not sorry. You’re not sorry for any of it. You know what? You’re actually probably enjoying yourself. And why not? It obviously took a hell of a lot of trouble to set it up.

Esme: How dare you blame me for this? I’m not the one who’s responsible.

Cameron: Enough! Trina’s right. You’re toxic. Get out.

Esme: But, Cam —

Cameron: I said, get out!

Esme: Fine. I’ll go. I just hope you both realize who your true friends are someday.

Trina: I swear, one more word, and I don’t know what I would have done. Joss, are you gonna be okay?

Josslyn: I just need to pull myself together so that I can leave this room.

Trina: I just don’t know who she thought she was fooling with that fake innocent act.

Josslyn: Yeah, she’s the absolute worst.

Trina: Joss.

Josslyn: So, how do you think it happened? After she and Spencer left?

Trina: Uh, Cameras have timers.

Josslyn: Right. Did anyone see her near our room?

Cameron: I-I don’t know. I-I wasn’t watching her. I didn’t think I needed to.

Trina: And sadly, I was out of it most of that night.

Josslyn: God, I wish this night had never happened.

Britt: Guess who you sound like.

Maxie: Don’t you even say it.

Britt: My mother. Yes. It’s a conspiracy. And during women’s history month, no less. Or do you not care?

Maxie: Of course, I care. I’m the mother of two daughters.

Britt: Well, then you should know how important it is for women to blaze their own trails, reach their own goals, follow their own passions. History isn’t made by women who are desperate to be in a relationship. It’s made by women who see the bigger picture.

Maxie: I am all for making history, for blazing trails, for following passions. I just happen to think love can be a part of that equation. When was the last time you went on a date?

Britt: I haven’t had time, okay? I-I had to expose Cyrus.

Maxie: He’s been in prison for months.

Britt: Then I had to go to Greece and rescue my mother.

Maxie: She’s home, in love with Scott.

Britt: And then the whole Peter thing and —

Maxie: Dead, defunct, departed. Next.

Britt: I work a lot, so unless I date a patient or another doctor, it’s slim pickings.

Maxie: Have you thought about a matchmaking service?

Britt: Oh! You are working with my mother.

Maxie: We just want you to be happy.

Britt: Is anyone ever really happy?

Maxie: That’s dark. That is very dark.

Kevin: So how’d your meeting go?

Laura: Well, um, we have a plan in the works. All we really need is confirmation of what we already suspect — that Victor had a hand in Luke’s death and also in the abduction of Maxie’s baby. He also seems to have an interest in Drew.

Kevin: So do you think this plan could lead to Victor’s arrest?

Laura: Probably not. He’s got a real talent for evading justice, but to be honest, right now, I would settle just for getting him out of Port Charles, you know, get him away from Spencer and Nikolas.

Kevin: What about Ava? Is she on board?

Laura: She is. We are putting together a small army. [ Chuckles ] All eyes on Victor. All we need is to come up with the right bait. And then we could trip him up for good.

Victor: As you wish, Ava. I didn’t mean to jump the gun.

Ava: Thank you. I appreciate your concerns, Victor, I do, and I take them to heart. But if you are expecting me to unilaterally make a decision about our ceremony, you are out of luck. Nikolas and I will decide what’s best together.

Victor: [ Chuckles ] That’s the tragedy of us Cassadines. We’re either fiercely loyal or at each other’s throats, and never the twain. And that plays right into our enemies’ hands.

Ava: Well, that’s a bit grandiose, don’t you think?

Victor: Well, maybe, but I’ve been a Cassadine a lot longer than you have, Ava. And there are always those who wish to thwart us, to undermine our power, feed off our disunity. Stavros, Mikkos, Helena — they all tried and failed to unify us as a family. But I am determined to change that. That’s why I’ve been cultivating a relationship with my son, Valentin, as well as working to end the rift between Nikolas and his son. That’s why I’m always there to help Nikolas in times of trouble.

Laura: Victor is trying to make nice right now with Nikolas, which means he’s going to do the Same with you.

Ava: Hmm. Well, he’s already trying pretty damn hard.

Laura: Good. Good. Let him. Get him to lower his guard so much with you that he might even confide in you.

Ava: And if Victor says something incriminating, you’d like me to pass that on to you?

Victor: I have big plans for this family, Ava. But I need your help.

Ava: With what? What are these big plans?

Harmony: I guess if you go by pop culture, Heathcliff is the hero, but, you know, if you really dive into the book, he’s vengeful and obsessive.

Nikolas: Ava knows I’m here. She encouraged me to come. Despite what you’ve done to her, she won’t stand in the way of our relationship. Spencer, today was a painful reminder that you’ve already lost one parent. Your other one is right here, hoping that you will give me the chance to make things right between us. What do you say, son? Can you find a way to put the past aside? Can we start fresh?

Spencer: You didn’t get to say what you wanted to my mother at her grave. But I think that she heard you now. And I feel that she would want me to say… …yes.

Esme: Well, this is the best thing I’ve seen all day. At least a close second.

Nikolas: Hi, Esme. I’ll be back to visit you next week. Maybe when you’re out, we can properly celebrate your birthday.

Esme: Didn’t mean to run him off.

Spencer: You heard him. He’ll be back.

Esme: I’m glad.

Spencer: I’m glad that you’re back, too. It gives me a chance to make things right with you. Can you forgive me for being so thoughtless about the loss of your parents? I’m sorry.

Esme: It’s forgotten. I mean, I didn’t have the best relationship with my adoptive parents. My grief was nothing in comparison to yours. I mean, you never even got the opportunity to know your mother.

Spencer: I’m so grateful that you understand. And I get that you’re sensitive where Trina is concerned. I won’t bring her up so much from now on.

Esme: Oh, I’m not sensitive when it comes to Trina. I’m just onto her.

Victor: My dear, the only plan that matters right now is your vow renewal.

Ava: To be clear, I do know the value of family, and I consider myself a Cassadine just as much as a Jerome.

Victor: Oh, I didn’t mean to imply otherwise. And if opening our special ceremony to the family will mark a new start, then I’m all in.

Victor: Ah, splendid.

Ava: But only if my husband agrees.

Nikolas: Agrees to what, darling?

Ava: Oh!

Nikolas: Uncle Victor.

Victor: Nikolas. Your lovely bride and i were having tea. Oh, please do join us. We were, uh — we were discussing the possibility of opening your vow renewal to the entire family.

Nikolas: I thought we decided on just the two of us.

Ava: Yes, well, we had. But your uncle has me wondering whether that’s the right way to go. And wasn’t I just saying earlier how important family is and how we ought to make an effort? Maybe we could start by inviting Spencer. I mean, he may not come, but we could at least extend the invitation.

Victor: I’d be happy to do my part to bring the lad around.

Nikolas: Well, you do seem to have a lot of pull with my son.

Victor: Is that a problem?

Nikolas: It worked in my favor today. Spencer and I are in a better place than we’ve ever been.

Victor: Yet I feel you’re still uncomfortable with our relationship.

Nikolas: I have no issue with you getting to know Spencer. What worries me is what he might discover about you. For instance, none of us initially knew that you were in league with Peter August. Are you hiding anything else?

Victor: Certainly. Oh, if you’re concerned that I have an ulterior motive, I most certainly do.

Sam: Peter had personal effects, right? I mean, items that were with him at the time of his death — maybe a watch, wallet, keys?

Dante: Yeah, sure. Yeah, they would’ve had all that collected off him. That’s standard procedure.

Drew: And who would have that stuff now?

Drew: WSB.

Sam: As evidence?

Dante: Uh, maybe at first, and then they would have gone through it, and then passed it on to Peter’s next of kin.

Drew: Bailey, by way of Maxie.

Sam: And we have to make that known to Victor.

Dante: So that Victor then goes for Peter’s belongings, thinking that the card that he’s looking for to control you is among them.

Drew: Sam, you’re a genius.

Sam: We have to get access to Peter’s things and then plant the tarot card in there, and hopefully, Victor finds it. Do you know anyone that would be able to help us?

Dante: I might. I’ll make a call.

Sam: Thank you.

Kevin: Are you going to share your suspicions with Tracy?

Laura: No, she’s too much of a wild card. Anyway, Anna is going to Austria, so I’m sure that she’ll be able to uncover the truth about Luke’s death.

Kevin: So you have full confidence in Anna? Mm-hmm. Absolutely. And yet you still want to go to Austria yourself.

Spencer: What do you mean, you’re onto Trina?

Esme: I mean every time I turn around, Trina is trying to get close to you.

Spencer: Baby, this is what I was trying to avoid.

Esme: I mean, don’t you dare act like I’m making this up. I’ve seen the stolen glances, her holding your hand at Kelly’s. I know about your secret meeting at the gallery before you reported here, her gift on Valentine’s Day.

Spencer: It wasn’t intended as a Valentine.

Esme: The two of you have an intimate relationship. Share secrets.

Spencer: If we can both keep quiet about running into each other here, neither one of us have to get in trouble for it.

Spencer: Trina and I are just friends.

Esme: Sure. Joss and Cam thought she was their friend until she recorded them having sex and sent the footage to the entire PCU student body.

Spencer: What the hell? When did this happen?

Esme: Just this morning, and they were definitely not ready for prime time.

Spencer: That’s insane. Poor Joss. I —

Esme: Oh, “poor Joss” accused me at first. Till it became clear that her so-called bestie was the culprit.

Spencer: Well, Trina wouldn’t do something like that.

Esme: Spencer, the footage was taken at the cabin after we left.

Spencer: What makes you think that it was Trina?

Esme: She was blackout drunk and in her feelings about being alone and unloved. It tracks.

Spencer: The Trina I know — that’s what I’ve been saying! Maybe you don’t know Trina as well as you think.

Josslyn: Cam, I don’t mean I wish the whole night hadn’t happened.

Cameron: I-I know what you meant.

Josslyn: My mind’s going a thousand miles a minute. I just — I don’t understand how this happened. I-I feel like I’m in a nightmare.

Trina: I know. Hey, we’ll get to the bottom of it. I promise.

Cameron: We need to go to the dean. A-at least it was contained in the internal student PCU website.

Trina: Thank goodness for that.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Josslyn: What? Trina.

Trina: Somebody sent me a link to an X-rated website.

Josslyn: Oh, my god. Have we gone viral?

Laura: You got me. I, um… I would like to go to Austria with anna if I could. I still — I feel a kind of a loyalty to Luke. I’m sorry if that was hard to hear.

Kevin: It’s not. It’s understandable. Of course, I’m concerned that it might be dangerous, and I’ll miss you, but I’m not gonna stand in your way.

Laura: That means the world to me.

Kevin: So will you be leaving right away?

Laura: I’m not leaving at all. I’m needed here.

Kevin: Well, I could have told you that.

Laura: [ Chuckles ] Not just as the mayor. As your wife, as a mother, as a grandmother. We have a predator in Port Charles. I’m not about to leave when it’s circling the nest.

Nikolas: You admit to having an ulterior motive?

Victor: Yes. Happily. As I told Ava, I intend to unite this family. And if I can move the needle even a fraction toward a reconciliation between you and Spencer, then — then I’m gratified.

Nikolas: As am I. Thank you, uncle Victor.

Victor: No, thank you, Nikolas, and Ava, for reconsidering your plans for a vow renewal. To our family celebration.

Nikolas: Our family celebration.

Ava: Family celebration.

Dante: Thanks. I will. Yeah.

Drew: That didn’t sound good.

Dante: Peter’s belongings have already been delivered, and it’s too late to recall the messenger.

Sam: Okay, well, I will reach out to Maxie and see what I can find.

Dante: It’s not Maxie. Peter has stipulated a different executor for his estate.

Delivery Person: Please sign and initial.

Britt: Who is this from?

Delivery Person: Everything you need to know is inside the box.

[ Bailey coos ]

Britt: What is it, Bailey? [ Gasps ] Let’s see. You ready?

Maxie: Well, what is it?

Britt: What’s left of Peter.

Cameron: It’s the link. I am not clicking that.

Josslyn: What do we do?

Cameron: Damage control. But first, we’re getting the hell out of here. Let’s go.

Josslyn: [ Sighs ]

Trina: Go, go. Do what you have to do. We’ll talk later. Joss? I’m here for you.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Esme: Now I’m glad we left that cabin early. Could have been the victims of Trina, the amateur pornographer.

Samuel: Mr. Cassadine, it’s time for routine room checks.

Spencer: These take a while.

Esme: Don’t worry. I’ll be here.

Harmony: Well, that’s it for today. I’ll order you some nutrition before I finish my shift. You warm enough? Okay.

Esme: Do you need something, Mr. Chamberlain? I can get an orderly. You seem distressed.

Ryan: [ Raspy ] What the hell are you doing?

Proofread by Anita

Finn: That shower’s got great water pressure.

Elizabeth: Yeah, Franco just put in a new head…

Finn: Oh.

Elizabeth: …Right before he was killed. Sometimes it feels like he’s still here, all around us.

Finn: Or so someone wants you to believe.

Sasha: It’s so beautiful here. So peaceful. [ Sighs ] I really don’t want to go back to the real world. I never want this trip to end.

Brando: I wish I could give you that. But what I can try to do is make the real world just as special.

Sasha: Mm-hmm. And how do you plan on doing that?

Brando: By planning to spend the rest of my life with you.

Sasha: Let’s do it.

Brando: Do what?

Sasha: Let’s get married — today.

Brando: Right, we’ll just elope somewhere. You’re not kidding, are you?

Sasha: The aisle, the rings, the “I dos” — the works. You and me going to the chapel.

Brando: Today.

Sasha: Today.

Brando: [ Laughs ] Um, I — I don’t know what to say.

Sasha: Here’s a hint. Say yes.

Lucy: So, four bedrooms, four bathrooms, high-end finishes everywhere, state-of-the-art appliances, and, wait for it, your own dock. This lot is so private, you have no neighbors close by and total waterfront access.

Portia: Does the dock come with a yacht?

Lucy: Oh. No, no, I am sorry. Luxury watercraft sold separately.

Portia: Okay, good, ’cause that would make it just a little too good to be true.

Lucy: Hey, it is too good to be true. Believe it. This place is amazing. But I do need to, um, just mention one little thing. Uh, a smoking hot [Chuckles] legal eagle did divulge to me that a certain dimpled don is also in the market, maybe, for new digs.

Sonny: Is it okay that I’m here?

Carly: Yeah, it’s a public place. I’ll make sure the hostess gets you a seat.

Sonny: I don’t need a table. I-I’m just here to see you.

Carly: Here to see me. Um, Sonny, we’ve talked about this.

Sonny: No, no, it’s not about us. It’s — it’s — it’s about today.

Carly: It’s about Courtney.

Sonny: Yeah, Courtney.

Trina: Spencer? What are you doing out of Spring Ridge?

Spencer: It’s a long story. Are you alone?

Trina: Why? Are you planning to take me hostage while you make your getaway?

Spencer: I hear you got my gift.

Trina: That’s what you want to talk about right now? I guess we’ll cover the jailbreak later.

Spencer: Excuse me for being glad to see you. Please tell me you’re not with anyone.

Trina: Anyone that might rat you out — besides me?

[ Devices chiming ]

Professor Khan: Alright, alright.

[ Laughter ]

Professor Khan: Exactly what is more important than Jeremy Bentham?

Male Student: See for yourself.

[ Cellphone beeps ]

Josslyn: What?

[ Gasps ]

[ Students murmuring]

[ Laughter]

[ Student whistles ]

[ Laughter continues ]

Josslyn: Turn it off!

Professor Khan: Oh — oh, yeah. Yes — yes, of course. Um, uh, Bryan, shut it down now!

Portia: Wow, you really have a handle on all the details. I mean, between your real-estate career and deception, how do you even keep it all straight?

Lucy: It’s crazy, but I do, because, truthfully, I am waiting for the impending IPO for deception. If that comes through, then maybe I can let go one of my two revenue streams. But until then, I’m not letting go of my precious leads.

Portia: Well, we appreciate you showing us this.

Lucy: Of course. Oh, you know, Jax did call me right away and say he wanted to put this property back up, and I thought, I do not want you two to miss out. I couldn’t live with myself.

Portia: We thank you for that. Thank you.

Lucy: You’re welcome. It’s my pleasure. It is amazing. I think that it is a perfect spot to start a family.

Sasha: Surprised?

Brando: Maybe a little. [ Chuckles ]

Sasha: Is this completely crazy?

Brando: Yes, absolutely. I mean, can we even do this? Don’t we need, like, a license?

Sasha: People elope all the time, right? They just hop on a plane to Las Vegas and do it.

Brando: So you want to go to Vegas?

Sasha: Well, actually, we don’t have to. Niagara Falls is right here, and it’s notorious for quickie weddings.

Brando: Okay, so — so you’re not gonna regret rushing this? I mean — I mean, none of our friends will be there. No family.

Sasha: I’m sure we’ll get an earful from them, but that’s fine with me.

Brando: Okay, so just us, then.

Sasha: Good. Because you are my family, Brando. You’re all the family I need.

[ Students murmuring ]

Professor Khan: Alright, alright, everyone, calm down. Clearly, we’re not gonna get anything more done today. So for the next class, we’re taking a detour from the syllabus. The case is Lord vs. Chandler. Look it up. Class dismissed.

Josslyn: Professor Khan, we don’t — we don’t know what to say.

Professor Khan: No, really, you don’t need to say anything. Allow me to apologize.

Cameron: For what?

Professor Khan: One, for not thinking faster and just closing the laptop to stop the video, and for two, losing control of the situation. I am so sorry everyone had to see that. Look, the student, Bryan, the one who chose to share it with the room, he will be disciplined. But, having said that, I would advise you to keep better track of your intimate personal files.

Spencer: You’re not gonna get in trouble.

Trina: Is this a jail-sanctioned field trip? Or did they let you out of Spring Ridge early for good behavior?

Spencer: How would you know whether or not I’ve been well-behaved? It’s not like you’ve visited.

Trina: First of all, your sentence is 30 days.

Spencer: It’s still prison.

Trina: Secondly, and most importantly, do not make this about me. I’m not the one who snuck out of country-club jail so I could tool around some old cemetery.

Spencer: This is where my mother is buried.

Trina: It is?

Spencer: This is her grave, and visiting her on the anniversary of her death isn’t exactly my idea of “tooling around.”

Trina: I didn’t realize that was today.

Spencer: It’s my first time in years visiting her in person. I sent flowers every year that I was at school. Even far away, I could always feel her presence. At least, I thought I could. Not that it’s stopped me from completely screwing up my life.

Trina: At least now you’re making an effort to clean up your act. Jailbreak notwithstanding.

Spencer: I actually am. It’s just that, on this day, of all days, I wanted my mother to know that. So were you ever gonna visit me, or what?

Trina: [ Sighs ] Spencer, I…

[ Vehicle door closes ]

Spencer: Don’t give me up. If anyone finds out that I’m here, they’re gonna send me straight to Pentonville.

Trina: [ Sighs ]

Jordan: Trina.

Carly: Would you like a drink?

Sonny: Uh…

Carly: Sure feels like a Bloody Mary kind of day.

Sonny: No, I’m actually trying not to drink too much these days.

Carly: Oh. Well, that’s good. I’m sure Courtney would be happy about that.

Sonny: You miss her, huh?

Carly: Yeah. I mean, the Metro Court’s named after her. I think about her every day.

Sonny: Yeah. But you know what I mean.

Carly: Yeah, she was my best friend. Best friends are hard to come by these days.

Sonny: Yeah. I know how you feel.

Carly: Do you really?

Sonny: Maybe it was a mistake. I’ll just go ahead and — I’m gonna go ahead and go.

Carly: Maybe it was a mistake, Sonny.

Sonny: No, I was just thinking that, you know, with Courtney, we — something we could share, that connects us together.

Carly: We’re always gonna be connected.

Sonny: Yeah, I know, through the kids.

Carly: Not just the kids.

Sonny: What?

Carly: We — we have a history together. You know, w-we had a life together. I just don’t think Courtney is a good enough reason to seek me out.

Sonny: What are you saying?

Carly: I’m saying it hurts when I see you. So I should see you less.

Brando: You are my family, too. It — it’s just…sudden. That’s all. And we haven’t really discussed marriage. I mean…not in our current circumstances.

Sasha: You were here for such a short time, but you made quite the impact. [ Sniffles ] And you were so, so loved. I have to believe that you have felt that. And I hope with everything in me that you still do. I love you forever, Sweetheart. [ Sobs ]

Sasha: I know that we haven’t discussed marriage specifically, but we were planning a life together, and we know what we mean to each other. Unless… have your feelings about — about me or about us, have they changed?

Brando: N-no, no, of course not. I — I — they’ve only gotten stronger.

Sasha: It’s just that you — you don’t seem 100% sure.

Brando: It’s — it’s more like I feel that I’ve missed an episode. I’m not opposed to us getting married.

Sasha: Good.

Brando: There’s just one thing that I don’t understand. Why now?

Finn: How’d you sleep?

Elizabeth: Thanks. Tossed and turned all night. You? How’s the couch?

Finn: Oh, yeah, we’re old pals by now.

Elizabeth: [ _Int_sYh1f6iX”>Chuckles ]

Finn: Although, it did take a moment for me to turn my head off, though.

Elizabeth: This is gonna sound crazy, but did you feel like you were being watched? ‘Cause I did.

Finn: No, not exactly, but I know what you mean. Um, finding out that Betsy wasn’t behind any of this, it was, uh, unsettling.

Elizabeth: Mm, to say the least.

Finn: Mm. So, I stayed up most of the night trying to work the problem, but, hey, this, um — this trouble sleeping, it’s — it’s been going on a while?

Elizabeth: What gave it away? Circles under my eyes?

Finn: You’re beautiful.

Elizabeth: [ Chuckles ]

Finn: No, I was just, um — I was asking ’cause I thought, have you spoke to your G.P. About maybe taking something?

Elizabeth: I have, and I am. I don’t want to take anything stronger. I just really need to turn my screens off earlier.

Finn: Don’t we all.

Elizabeth: Mm.

Finn: How about the boys? They’re okay?

Elizabeth: They say they are, not that they would tell me if they’re not. They’re all about projecting strength.

Finn: They’re worried about their mom.

Elizabeth: And I’m worried about them, especially Jake. He needs help, and I don’t think he can get it from me.

Trina: Jordan. Commissioner. Hi. My mom told me you were back.

Jordan: Live and in person. Am I interrupting?

Trina: Interrupting?

Jordan: I heard voices. Were you talking to someone?

Trina: Myself. I’m taking voice notes, uh, for a course I’m doing on art and death.

Jordan: Sounds cheerful.

Trina: It is. You’d be surprised. That’s why I’m here. There’s so much more to cemeteries than just death.

Jordan: Mm. Well, things sure are different than when I was in college. They just showed us some slides and called it a day.

[ Both chuckle ]

Trina: So, how have you been doing? All better?

Jordan: And ready to get back to it.

Trina: The bad guys are officially on notice.

Jordan: Damn right.

Trina: Well, I’ll let you get back to it.

Jordan: Trina, are you — are you sure you’re okay?

Trina: Positive.

Jordan:  Alright. Well, it’s good to see you.

Spencer: Thanks. I knew I could trust you. That story about being here for school, that was quick thinking.

Trina: I am here for school. Unlike you, my being here’s not a felony. You should try it sometime.

Spencer: Well, Trina, I can’t thank you enough.

Trina: Ugh!

Cameron: What the hell just happened?

Josslyn: How is there a video at all?

Cameron: And how did it get sent to our entire class?

Josslyn: [ Cellphone chiming ] Everyone is texting me. All of my friends. I don’t think it was just this class.

Cameron: Me, too. D-do you think this was sent to the entire school?

Josslyn: Stop. It’s in my e-mail. There’s no message. It’s just the file.

Cameron: Me, too. But I don’t recognize this e-mail. Do you?

Josslyn: Of course not! What do you think?!

Cameron: Why are you yelling at me?

Josslyn: Our entire class just saw us having sex. Our professor saw this. God knows who else.

Cameron: Okay. W– this is freaking me out, too, Josslyn? It’s not like I made the video and sent it out to everyone.

Josslyn: [ Sighs ]

Cameron: Wait. I-is that what you think I did?

Sasha: Why get married now? W-why wait? Huh? I-I mean, I-I know what I want, and that is — that is you. So I-I see no reason why we should wait.

Brando: Okay, look, I-I-I want to marry you more than anything, but, you know, a-a part of me wonders if — if — if you’re asking now because it’s what you truly want or because you might be distracting yourself from something that we’re both missing. Is getting married, is that about us, or is it about Liam?

Finn: Don’t sell yourself short. You are single-handedly raising three amazing young dudes.

Elizabeth: One of whom may be taking a page out of Spencer Cassadine’s playbook.

Finn: What does that mean? Trying to break us up?

Elizabeth: And unnerving the entire family in the process.

Finn: We don’t know it’s Jake.

Elizabeth: But we both think it could be.

Finn: I-I’m just trying to approach this as logically as possible. That way, we can rule Jake out sooner.

Elizabeth: And if it is him, we can put a stop to things before it goes any farther.

Finn: Well, at least we’ve eliminated the most obvious suspect.

Elizabeth: Betsy.

Finn: Mm.

Elizabeth: Jake has been through so much… mm-hmm. …Losing Franco and Jason within the same year, not to mention all the years he spent on Cassadine island.

Finn: Yeah, I know. I mean, his history and his behavior… may lead you to believe he’s involved, but it’s not a given. I mean, it could — it could be someone from Franco’s past. I mean, he wasn’t exactly a saint.

Elizabeth: That’s putting it mildly.

Finn: I’m sure there are some people out there that he — he wronged and are still angry. I mean, it could be someone completely unknown to us.

Elizabeth: Uh, believe it or not, the thought of a complete stranger in my house, messing with my things, setting fire to Franco’s studio, bringing that in here, it’s not comforting.

Finn: Sorry. Sorry. My bedside manner…

Elizabeth: is horrible.

Finn: Yes. People have complained. Lots and lots of complaints. [ Sighs ] We should do something about this.

Elizabeth: Such as? Such as I don’t… how do you feel about a — a road trip, a change of scenery? You know, we go somewhere warm. I mean, there’s good therapists everywhere. Maybe find somewhere by the beach. We take off for a few weeks, you and the boys, me and Violet.

Elizabeth: Finn.

Finn: Huh?

Elizabeth: I can’t go anywhere with you.

Curtis: Great spot.

Portia: It’s stunning.

Lucy: [ Giggles ]

Curtis: I’m just not sure I want to go to a bidding war with Sonny Corinthos.

Lucy: Oh, hey, that can be absolutely avoided. I mean, I have this listing exclusively, and I haven’t even publicized it. And I can tell you for certain that Jax would literally rather sell it to anybody else but Sonny. So clear your heads. I want you to picture a hot summer day. [ Inhales deeply ] Smell that sea air. It’s so wonderful. And picture yourself lolling in a hammock, drinking a lemonade, or perhaps a beverage of your choice, and you’re watching the boats go drifting by. And, oh, my goodness, it sounds so good. I just might buy this place myself.

Curtis: [ Chuckles ]

Lucy: Take your time. Enjoy.

Portia: [ Chuckles ] Well, I’m not really a hammock type of gal, but this is a nice house.

Curtis: Very. It’s a lot of space.

Portia: Isn’t that a good thing?

Curtis: Well, Portia, I mean, there’s only two of us. You sure we need three extra bedrooms?

Portia: Well, I-I mean, we could make an office, maybe a home gym. Trina’s gonna need a room at least for a few more years, right?

Curtis: That’s true. Okay, so then that leaves two extra bedrooms.

Portia: Or just one. Maybe we could leave a room for your father.

Jordan: Hello, mark. How’s my old partner doing? I’m sorry I haven’t visited in so long, but I… I’ll tell you the same thing I told Bob. Never again. I don’t just mean the time between visits. I mean, I promise to do the job we all sworn an oath to do. To protect and serve and uphold the law. I’m back. And the bad guys are on notice.

Sonny: I don’t like being the reason that you’re hurting.

Carly: Well, you’re not the only reason.

Sonny: Well, I mean, there was a time when you didn’t see me at all. Maybe we should go back to that, where I’m, like, dead to you.

Carly: Well, Nina would love that, right?

Sonny: [ Chuckles ] Alright, you know what? Whatever you want, just say the word. I’ll make it happen. If you don’t want me here, I’ll be gone. If, when I pick up Donna or drop her off, you don’t have to be there. When you want to visit Morgan at the cemetery, we’ll pick the dates. I won’t have to, you know — I’ll do whatever you — whatever you want, we’ll do.

Spencer: Trina, I’m sorry that I put you in that position.

Trina: Good luck with life on the lam.

Spencer: I didn’t escape. Okay, it’s kind of — it’s kind of a furlough.

Trina: If this was on the books, then you wouldn’t have pressured me into lying for you. My uncle arranged it, okay, so that I could visit my mother. Have a heart, huh? They never would have let me come out here to see her, not with such a short sentence.

Trina: Exactly. You couldn’t have waited? No. Because you’re a spoiled, rich brat who doesn’t know just how good he’s got it. I couldn’t imagine skipping out on my prison sentence. Doesn’t seem very “rehab” to me. But you do as you please without any regard to the rules or the consequences, because it’s second nature to you. Instinct.

Spencer: I know. Privilege.

Cameron: How could you think that I could do something like that?

Josslyn: I don’t think that, okay? Right now, I can’t think about anything.

Cameron: B-but you’re wondering, aren’t you? That, what, I set up some hidden camera so I could secretly record our first time? Why would I do that?

Josslyn: I don’t know.

Cameron: But I wouldn’t do that. Do you really think that’s who I am?

Josslyn: No, of course I don’t think that.

Cameron: You sure?

Josslyn: Look, I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I made you feel like I doubted you. My brain just froze because someone recorded us without our knowledge in my stepfather’s cabin, none of which should be possible, by the way, and it’s really freaking me out.

Cameron: Okay, everything’s gonna be fine. Do you think that your brother and Nelle could have done it? They used the cabin, right?

Josslyn: No, that was years ago. And Michael? No.

Cameron: What about your stepfather? Could Sonny have some kind of secret camera setup?

[ Bag thuds ]

Josslyn: You going somewhere?

Trina: I never thought I’d see the day — Spencer Cassadine admitting to his own privilege. Well, I guess our previous conversations on this topic have not been totally lost on you.

Spencer: Nothing you say is lost on me. Being my friend must be exhausting.

Trina: That’s one word for it. Unfortunately, every time I think I can give up on you, you do something that shows that you might — might be capable of evolving.

Spencer: Me man. You woman.

Trina: Okay, never do that again. And please do your best not to try my patience. I have friends that aren’t currently on lockdown that are taxing enough.

Esme: Oh, my god, Josslyn, Cameron, I hope you’re both okay.

Josslyn: Oh, I just bet you do.

Esme: I-I was just waiting in the hallway, but I figured you might need some time. But I stuck around to make sure that you knew — both of you — that you have my complete support.

Josslyn: Is that right?

Esme: Of course. I mean, what Bryan did? Playing your video for the entire class? That was heinous. You should complain to the dean, and if you need a witness, I’ll be at the front of the line.

Josslyn: You’re such a giver.

Cameron: The video wasn’t just played back in front of the class. Seems like whoever did it e-mailed a copy of the video to everyone.

Esme: I know. I got one, too. Do you think there’s any way it could be, like, unsent or something? Or is it just out there for good for the whole world to…enjoy?

Josslyn: Oh, there’s only one person enjoying this… the bitch right in front of me.

Esme: [ Scoffs ]

Finn: You’re right, of course. Um, forgive me, there’s no way we should be going anywhere together.

Elizabeth: I just don’t want to create any more upheaval for Jake or Cameron.

Finn: Mm.

Elizabeth: Especially if Jake is the one behind what’s going on.

Finn: Right. Well, until all this gets settled, uh, Violet and I could hunker down here.

Elizabeth: I don’t want to uproot you guys, and Dante to has patrols coming by.

Finn: I’d feel better being here.

Elizabeth: Well, I wouldn’t. Getting close to you has been amazing, and I’m ready to move on from Franco, but I’m not sure my boys are. I think they might need more time. And right now, they need their mom to put them first in her life.

Finn: I understand. That’s kind of been my life with Violet. She needs to be first. I just want to you know I’m okay coming in second.

Elizabeth: That doesn’t work for me, either.

Brando: Did I ruin this? If — if I’m wrong, just say so, please. It — I don’t mean to question you. It was just a thought that I had, and if putting it out there hurt you, I-I will do anything to take it back.

Sasha: I asked. You were honest. You deserve the same from me.

Brando: A $10 chip?

Sasha: My winnings from last night. Not much, right? Well, um, for a long time, not much was what I was used to. Money, people, things — it all came and left. So I got used to going without, not becoming attached to anything because nothing ever lasted long. I came to Port Charles with nothing to my name and zero expectations, and, slowly, that changed. I started to see that maybe things could last. With Nina. With Michael and his family. With deception. And most of all, with you and Liam. I don’t want to live with all that impermanence anymore. Losing our son made me see that… my life has become so full, and I want to hold on to every bit of it so hard. So, yes, asking you to marry me is about Liam, but it’s about you, too, and it’s about us. I want you, Brando. I want all the joy that you bring into my life, and I never want to let you go.

Sonny: However you want it to be, that’s the way it’s gonna be.

Carly: Well, we agreed to be a team for the girls, so, I mean, let’s just see if we can manage that.

Sonny: Yeah, that’s a good first step. So I got to go. I got to — I got to —

Carly: Okay. Jordan.

Sonny: Hey, welcome back.

Jordan: Same to you, Sonny. Carly.

Carly: Hey. You back on the job?

Jordan: I’m getting caught up. I’m sorry to hear about Jason.

Carly: Thank you.

Sonny: Big loss.

Jordan: I know. Cyrus Renault might be walking free today if it hadn’t been for Jason — and you.

Carly: Well, you’re no slouch, either. I’d say it was a team effort.

Jordan: It was. One that came of shared sacrifice. You put yourself on the line, let Cyrus know you were in charge of Sonny’s business while he was… out of the picture.

Sonny: Yeah, well, I’m back, and, uh, Carly’s focused on the hotel.

Jordan: And your focus?

Sonny: Uh, well, the coffee business.

Jordan: Mm.

Sonny: But you know what? We can — we could talk business, if you want. That’s fine.

Carly: I’m gonna go run my hotel business. Leave you to it.

Sonny: As — as I recall, we — we got along much better when we worked together.

Jordan: We did. That was when we had a common enemy. Now Cyrus is out of the picture, and our collaboration is over.

Curtis: Whoa, whoa, whoa. I haven’t even made a bid on the house. You got Marshall moving in with us?

Portia: Well, I was thinking more of, like, maybe a dedicated guest room.

Curtis: [ Exhales sharply ]

Portia: It does seem like you and Marshall are getting along better these days.

Curtis: Yeah, we are, but more in a, you know, “I no longer want to punch a hole in the wall” kind of better. Not, you know, “can you move in our dedicated guest room?” Kind of better. We still got a long way to go. He’s got 40 years to account for.

Portia: And maybe you can manifest some father-and-son bonding, maybe some bonfires on the beach, holiday barbecue now and then.

[ Both chuckle ]

Curtis: You really want this house, don’t you?

Portia: It is a lot of space. But we got a lot of life and a lot of love to fill it with. That’s the way I see it, anyway.

Curtis: So what about you? Tell me. What do you think?

Spencer: You must be referring to Josslyn. That one is always about the drama.

Trina: I am not getting into this with you. You need to get back to Spring Ridge.

Spencer: If we can both keep quiet about running into each other here, neither one of us have to get in trouble for it.

Trina: Unless Jordan doubles back.

Spencer: Yeah. [ Breathes deeply ] I guess I should go back to prison.

Trina: Spencer, be careful. You’re so close to the end of your sentence. And I bet your mom would be the first to say not to mess it up now.

Spencer: I bet you’re right. Besides, I wouldn’t want to miss the party that you’re gonna throw me when I’m released.

Trina: [ Scoffs ] Party? You’ll be lucky if you get so much as a cookie.

Spencer: I like gingersnaps.

Trina: You would.

Spencer: Hey, Trina, you didn’t say if you liked my gift.

Trina: Finish your sentence, and then I’ll give you my review.

Esme: Sorry, I don’t get my jollies from lo-fi amateur porn.

Josslyn: Oh.

Cameron: Maybe not.

Josslyn: But you do get off on sticking it to me and Cameron.

Esme: You’re in a bad place right now, so it’s not surprising that you would take this out on me, but it’s a shame, really, because all I’ve wanted was to be your friend, and from the looks of it, you’re gonna need all the friends you can get.

Cameron: With friends like you…

Josslyn: Who needs pornographers?

Esme: You know, Joss, most people find it hard to rebound when their sex tape goes into wide release online for the world to see, so if you want my support, I will gladly give it to you.

Cameron: Is that why you did this? So that we would want your comfort and support after you completely screwed us over?

Esme: You know what? I tried.

Josslyn: What, to convince us once and for all that you’re a sociopath? Yeah, you succeeded.

Esme: I don’t have to take this abuse.

Josslyn: Oh, I’ll show you abuse.

Esme: How can you be this cruel, Joss?

Josslyn: Because, Esme, you are the one who did this.

Sasha: That was probably a lot for you, and if you need to take a step back and reevaluate, then —

Brando: Done. And to answer your question, yes, I will marry you. Today, tomorrow, in Niagara Falls, in Las Vegas, whenever, wherever you want, I am yours.

[ Both chuckle ]

Sasha: Are we really doing this?

Brando: Not if we don’t get ourselves in gear, get over the border, and into a chapel.

Sasha: You hit the shower. I’ll look for possible venues.

Elizabeth: My kids need my attention right now, my undivided attention.

Finn: No, I-I get it. And me being around, I get it.

Elizabeth: And I’m not gonna ask you to wait for me.

Finn: You don’t have to, ’cause I was probably gonna do that anyway.

Elizabeth: Finn.

Finn: No, I mean, not forever. Maybe just like a 100 years, 200 tops. But then I’m walking.

Elizabeth: [ Chuckles ]

Finn: In case I wasn’t clear, you’re worth waiting for. I’ll see you.

Portia: So, Curtis, what do you think?

Lucy: No, listen to me. You better get home soon, because I cannot wait to gobble your cobbler.

Portia: Oh, hello.

Curtis: You’re back.

Lucy: Uh, indeed, I am. So, do you have any questions?

Curtis: Just one. For Portia. You ready for that boat life?

Portia: Are you kidding me? Are you serious?

Curtis: Let the bidding begin.

Portia: Oh, my God![Chuckles ]

Sonny: I thought we were a good team, especially when I was helping you when Cyrus was blackmailing you.

Jordan: I thanked you for that then…

Sonny: Right.

Jordan: …And I’ll thank you now.

Sonny: But your gratitude is limited?

Jordan: It is. Which is why I’m offering this token of my appreciation. My notice…

Sonny: mm-hmm.

Jordan: …That I consider our slates wiped clean. As far as I’m concerned, the past is just that.

Sonny: What’s the — what’s the future look like to you?

Jordan: We have a chance to move forward.

Sonny: As long as I behave?

Jordan: Hmm.

Sonny: [ Laughs ]

Jordan: Just be a good citizen, Sonny.

Sonny: Alright.

Jordan: That ought to be easier for you now that you’ve sampled a milder life.

Sonny: Well, maybe, you know, now that I’m back in stride, I-I-I’d prefer something a little more… spicy.

Jordan: You do you. And so will I. Just know… whatever happens next, I won’t be looking the other way.

Spencer: Well, mother, the next time you see me, I’ll be a free man. One you can be proud of.

Esme: How dare you blame me for this?

Josslyn: Because you did it.

Esme: Oh, typical Josslyn. Record your first time, share it with the world, and then blame it on me.

Cameron: We didn’t make the video.

Josslyn: You did.

Esme: How? Explain that to me.

Josslyn: How about we start with you constantly trying to push me and Cam into bed?

Esme: Wow. You’re college freshmen. If you need to be pushed into bed, I’d recommend seeing a doctor.

Josslyn: Oh, it was all you could talk about for weeks. You couldn’t have been more obvious.

Cameron: Actually, she could have. She went all in with it at the cabin.

Esme: Why did I have time? You basically forced me and Spence to leave.

Josslyn: Oh, you stayed long enough to piss everyone off with your drinking game.

Esme: Which I have apologized for.

Josslyn: The only reason you apologize to someone is so you can manipulate them again. And again. And again.

Esme: You know, Joss, I’m not sure what’s sadder — that you can’t take responsibility for taping your revolting little spectacle and sending it out to the world…

Cameron: We didn’t even know it existed.

Esme: …Or that you can’t do a halfway decent job of blaming me for it. If you are so hell-bent on blaming someone, don’t look at me. I wasn’t there. Why don’t you ask someone who was?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Orpheus: I didn’t know you were a fan of chick lit.

Clyde: Well, slim pickings in our library, milo. It was either this or the dictionary.

Orpheus: I’ve read it. It got way too many big words in it for you.

Clyde: Oh, you’re such a funny guy. Tell you the truth, I dig this miranda priestly chick. She suffers no fools, that’s for damn sure.

Orpheus: Well, I’ll just have to take a peek at it when you’re done. Unless your new cellmate has got first dibs.

Ej: Belle. You’re a sight for sore eyes.

Belle: Well, good morning. How are you holding up?

Ej: Eh, as well as can be expected considering the dreary surroundings. And I’m hoping against hope that you might have a update on the case that could uplift my spirits. Please tell me you’ve made progress on my appeal.

Belle: As a matter of fact, I have.

Ben: “Insert the seat support tube into the small holes of the backrest tube. Ensure the pushpins are completely pushed in.” What the–what’s a pushpin?

Ciara: You can reassemble a vintage harley, but a baby swing has you stumped?

Ben: [Sighs] Ciara, a vintage harley doesn’t come with ridiculously confusing instructions.

Ciara: Oh.

Ben: But I see you’re feeling better, yeah?

Ciara: Yeah. Yeah, the shower definitely helped. I cannot believe you let me sleep in so late.

Ben: Well, you needed to. You were tossing and turning all night. Did you have a bad dream?

Ciara: Not exactly. I just– I couldn’t stop thinking about what we were talking about last night.

Ben: You mean that johnny dimera might be possessed?

Jake: Johnny. The hell’s going on?

Demon johnny: Well, haven’t you noticed? I’m not johnny dimera.

Jake: I– [Grunts] I don’t understand.

Demon johnny: Let me ask you something, jake. Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

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

[Soft orchestration]

Chad: Okay, gabi. Enough fooling around. Get your feet off my desk.

Gabi: This is my desk in my office. I’ll put my damn feet wherever I want.

Chad: Oh, wow, you are really committed. Okay. All right, you’ve had your fun. Now, uh–now, get out. And, uh, don’t try this again. Stop sweet-talking your way past my security, yeah?

Gabi: Actually, you’re gonna be the one that’s gonna need security clearance.

Chad: The hell are you talking about?

Gabi: You’re looking at the new ceo of dimera.

Chad: [Laughs] Okay.

Gabi: Oh, you don’t believe me, chad? Go ahead, call shin. He will back up every single word I said.

Chad: You’re serious.

Gabi: About the fact that I now am in charge of this company? I am very serious.

Chad: You? The new ceo?

Gabi: I mean, how many different ways can I say it, chad?

Chad: How in the hell did you pull that off?

Jake: Who– [Grunts] What are you?

Demon johnny: You mind? Look, you might be able to put your grubby paws on johnny dimera, but you do not manhandle the almighty. Avoiding triggers, but can’t keep migraine attacks away?

Gabi: You took your eye off the ball, chad. See, while you were with tony gallivanting in the dimera jet searching for your missing wife, I was here.

Chad: Scheming.

Gabi: Ah, seizing the professional moment.

Chad: We found her, by the way. Abigail’s fine. Thanks for asking.

Gabi: Oh, good. Well then it wasn’t a complete loss for you today. See, let’s get back to me. Um, I–I used your glaring absence and ej’s unfortunate incarceration to hold an emergency shareholder meeting, which resulted in me getting the top position and johnny being elected to the board.

Chad: J–johnny? My little nephew is on the board of this company?

Gabi: That’s right. But I wouldn’t call him “little” seeing as he has significant control over dimera.

Chad: Shin cannot be okay with this.

Gabi: Well, he was. In fact, he made the deciding vote.

Chad: What?

Gabi: Yeah, I believe he said that he couldn’t have his company’s leadership abandoning ship, and it’s also time for a change.

Chad: I don’t believe this is happening.

Gabi: It’s a lot to absorb, I know.

Chad: And what about– what about jake? What’s his new position? Is he emperor of the top floor?

Gabi: Jake?

Chad: Jake, my brother, your boyfriend. I assume he’s getting something out of all of this.

Gabi: Oh. Oh, yes, he did. Yes, he– he got his ass handed to him.

Demon johnny: Did you think the devil was gone? A proverbial christmas miracle? Come on. Only losers believe in miracles.

Jake: So you’ve been here, in johnny, for months?

Demon johnny: You’re catching on. I was beginning to think you were a little slow on the uptake. Of course, neither you nor your smoking hot girlfriend are nearly as smart as you think you are. It was so easy convincing her to betray you.

Jake: So you’re the reason–

Demon johnny: She thought you were gonna screw her over? Yeah, guilty as charged, uncle jakey.

Jake: I knew it.

Demon johnny: You know, she already had doubts about you. All I had to do was stroke them. A few parlor tricks, flash of my big sword, I had her in my clutches, and now, I’m gonna get her into my bed.

Ciara: I mean, part of me still thinks it’s crazy. You know, the devil jumping out of marlena and into johnny.

Ben: Ciara, I know, and I don’t even care how crazy it is anymore. We still need to check it out, make sure that johnny’s not a danger to our baby.

Ciara: Yeah. Did–did susan banks call you back yet?

Ben: No. I’ve only been checking my phone every five minutes. I’m thinking it might be time to try her again.

[Knocking on door] Did you order another pizza? You got to stop doing this or– oh, my god–susan. Hey.

Ciara: Hi. Susan. We were literally just talking about you. How did you know that we wanted to see you?

Susan: [Spluttering] ‘Cause your hubby sent me a message, silly.

Ben: I didn’t even tell you what it was about.

Susan: Well, you didn’t have to. See, as soon as I heard your voice in my ear–boom! I had a premonition, and I knew you were talking about someone near and dear to my heart. So I hopped on the first bus here to salem.

Ben: Wait, you knew what I was calling you about?

Susan: Oh, yes, of course. Yeah. My son. My son, elvis.

Ej: So you tracked down the henchman who held sami captive?

Belle: And testified falsely that you paid him to do it, jason smith.

Ej: How did you find him?

Belle: Well, it wasn’t easy. I mean, he basically went off the grid after I implicated you.

Ej: Falsely.

Belle: And I wanted him to admit it.

Ej: Why would he ever do that?

Belle: Well, he wouldn’T. Which is why I tried to trip him up and trick him into telling me who really did it.

Ej: And?

Belle: And no luck. The guy is sticking to his story.

Ej: Then we’re back to square one.

Belle: Well, maybe not. There are other avenues we could explore.

Clyde: You know, it’s funny how life works, isn’t it? Warden decides to give you a new cellmate, turns out to be my old pal, ej dimera.

Orpheus: Pal? Don’t you mean business associate? The two of you ran a drug operation, did you not?

Clyde: Now, where would you come up with an idea like that?

Orpheus: [Laughs] Surely you’ve read the sign in the library, “knowledge is power.” I make it a point to stay in the know.

Clyde: Well, you don’t know squat about me, milo.

Orpheus: Oh, but I do. In fact, I know a great deal. Including that your relationship with ej went south. Isn’t that why you killed him? Okay, this is a freezer, not a time capsule.

Belle: So I’ve been working with the wisconsin state police to try to find the other guy who was guarding sami, that guy, pete, to see if he would contradict jason’s story.

Ej: And?

Belle: And since he was never arrested, finding him has been a challenge.

Ej: [Sighs] In other words, that avenue is closed.

Belle: Yeah, but there are others.

Ej: Such as?

Belle: Such as insufficient evidence.

Ej: Didn’t you try that already?

Belle: Well, I– I tried to get a dismissal based on those grounds. And I probably would have, but you wanted to take the stand.

Ej: You know how much I regret that. If I had to do it over again, I–I–

Belle: Well, you don’t have it to do over again. The fact that remains that the judge made his ruling based on some really biased witnesses. I mean, you have– you have jason, you have lucas, chad, sami. I mean, there is so much room for reasonable doubt.

Ej: Then why not forget searching for the other henchman and just focus on overturning the judge’s ruling?

Belle: Well, because the odds of success there are slim. The jury would have been a lot easier, but someone didn’t want a jury trial.

Ej: [Groans] When I made that ill-fated decision, you told me to shut up, sit down, and let you do your job. And I didn’T. I disregarded your advice at every turn. And yet still here you are.

Belle: I told you I wouldn’t abandon you. I meant that. I know you’re innocent, and soon everyone else will too.

Ej: Thank you, belle. I hope you know how appreciative I am for all of your help.

Belle: Well, let’s get back to the original question. How are you doing in here? Ooh, and how are things with your cellmate?

Ej: You mean with clyde weston?

Clyde: I hate to burst your bubble, milo, but your information is bogus. Ej dimera is alive and kicking.

Orpheus: [Chuckles] Thanks to the wondrous wizardry of dr. Wilhelm rolf. But that night in the park when ej was shot, everyone thought he was dead.

Clyde: But I ain’t the one who plugged him. Some two-bit junkie did that.

Orpheus: That’s what the cops believe. Doesn’t make it true.

Clyde: [Laughs] As god is my witness, I did not shoot ej dimera.

Orpheus: Okay, clyde, maybe you didn’t pull the trigger. Maybe that honor went to your buddy, miguel, is it? But you are certainly responsible for that bullet ending up in ej’s chest.

Ben: You thought we called you about ej?

Susan: Yeah. Of course. He was in my premonition. And I have been thinking about him nonstop since that mean, mean, mean judge sent him to prison for a crime that he did not commit.

Ciara: No. Susan. Susan, I–

Susan: And everyone– everybody knows that my elvis loves his samantha, and they have their issues like all couples do, but I mean, he would never dream of kidnapping her.

Ben: Look, susan, we weren’t calling you about ej.

Susan: Oh. Okay. Well, then, what the heck were you calling me about?

Ciara: Um, his son.

Susan: Johnny? Wha–I mean, what possibly could be wrong with him?

Ben: You know, susan, you might want to brace yourself.

Jake: I–I got to warn gabi.

Demon johnny: Leaving so soon?

Jake: Guess not. Guess I’m dancing with the devil after all.

Chad: Dimera’s in chaos because you and jake got into a fight?

Gabi: It doesn’t matter why it happened. All that matters is that I landed on top.

Chad: No. I’m–I’m– I don’t think so.

Gabi: Excuse me?

Chad: You and jake can go at each other all you want, but this is my family’s company, my children’s legacy, and there’s no way in hell I am gonna let some lover’s quarrel destroy it.

Gabi: Oh. I see. So what exactly are you gonna do?

Chad: I’ll call a meeting.

Gabi: You– [Laughs] You need a majority to remove me.

Chad: Not a problem.

Gabi: Oh, it is though, because you don’t have the votes. Shin wants you out. And now that johnny has a seat on the board, he has ej’s shares as well as his own.

Chad: I–I don’t understand why he would turn on me like that. He wanted to work with me to remove vultures like you from dimera.

Gabi: Looks like you got played by your “little” nephew.

Chad: That little punk isn’t gonna get away with it.

[Loud crash]

[Suspenseful music]

To be a thriver with

metastatic breast cancer

Clyde: You spin a good yarn, orpheus. But I don’t know what you’re talking about. I wasn’t even around when that shooting went down.

Orpheus: But ej was. Tell me, how does he feel about cohabitating with the guy who blew him away? I mean, that must make for some awkward conversations.

Clyde: Hey. Even if I had been there, ej wouldn’t know nothing about it. He doesn’t remember a damn thing about that evening.

Orpheus: That’s a hell of a thing to forget.

Clyde: Well, one of the pesky side effects of rolf’s miracle drug. Yeah, it’ll get you back to the land of the living, but does a real number on the old memory bank.

Orpheus: Yep, yep. But as I understand it, in time, the memories come back. So clyde, what you gonna do when ej remembers that you double-crossed him and left him to die?

Belle: Clyde weston is your cellmate?

Ej: Mm-hmm.

Belle: I mean, whoa, that is surprising. How’s it going?

Ej: So far, so good.

Belle: I thought–I– I just wouldn’t have thought that you two would hit it off.

Ej: Actually, we’re already acquainted.

Belle: How? Ej, you’re a lawyer. You know anything you say to me is confidential.

Ej: Clyde and I used to be in business together.

Belle: Mm. And I assume this business wasn’t exactly legit.

Ej: That would be a smart assumption.

Belle: I don’t know, maybe– maybe we should put in a request for a different cellmate. You know, I–I just don’t want this association you have with clyde weston to jeopardize your appeal.

Ej: Ancient history. I actually think he could be quite helpful.

Belle: How so?

Ej: He’s been in here a long time. Knows the place quite well. He told me he’d show me the ropes.

Belle: And you think you can rely on–on clyde weston?

Ej: Don’t get me wrong, I don’t trust the man in the slightest. But if I’m going to survive in here, I need someone to have my back. Is clyde weston my first choice? God, no. But right now, he’s the only choice I’ve got.

Susan: So you think the devil is hanging his hat in my sweet, little grandson, johnny, huh?

Ciara: Look, we know it sounds crazy–

Susan: Ah! I don’t like that word. It’s very judgy and it–it’s unkind.

Ciara: You’re right. I’m sorry.

Susan: [Sighs] So johnny possessed. Now, wh–what makes you think a thing like that?

Ben: Well, thers just been some strange occurrences recently.

Susan: Okay, well, like what?

Ciara: Well, like my grandma gave us a housewarming gift to hang outside of the apartment, a nice little cross.

Susan: Oh. Well, what’s so strange about that?

Ciara: Well, on her way to deliver it to us, her stove randomly burst into flames even though the thing wasn’t even on.

Ben: And while this mysterious fire just erupted, johnny happened to have been there, so he volunteered to bring the cross to us. And he did. He dropped it off, we hung it up, and this thing keeps flipping upside down.

Ciara: Mm-hmm. Every single time. And my grandma thought that it is a sign that the devil is back in town. And we know that the devil can jump from one body to another.

Ben: Right, and we also know that the only way for that to happen is that person that he did jump into would have to have been present at the exorcism, which your grandson, johnny, was.

Susan: You think that beelzebub boomeranged out of dr. Marlena evans and into my sweet, little grandson, johnny? And then he used the cross to leave his mark?

Ciara: Yeah, well, that’s why we wanted to talk to you, because you had the premonition that the devil was after my baby in the first place. You had the premonition that marlena was possessed by the devil.

Ben: And we were just wondering if maybe you had sensed anything about johnny.

Susan: Well, I was at the dimera mansion after the exorcism. And believe you me, if I even had the teensiest, weensiest feeling that old scratch had invaded my sweet, little grandson, johnny, I would have never left town.

Ciara: [Sighs] Yeah.

Ben: We knew it was gonna be a long shot.

Ciara: Yeah. Yeah, look, I’m sorry, susan. I’m sorry, we let our imaginations run wild. Clearly we were wrong about the devil being back in salem.

Susan: Uh, not necessarily.

Gabi: What the hell was that?

Chad: You’re the new ceo. You figure it out.

[Ominous music]

Gabi: What happened? J–johnny, I thought you said you were calling security.

Johnny: I didn’t have to. Jake left voluntarily. I mean, at least I thought he did. I thought he was gonna be a grown-up about all this, then he stormed back in here and attacked me.

Gabi: Jake. Jake, are you okay?

Johnny: The guy was acting like a complete psycho. I–I had no choice. I had to defend myself.

Gabi: Jake, jake, jake. Can you hear me? Jake.

Jake: [Groans] Gabi.

Gabi: [Sighs] Jake. What the hell were you thinking?

Jake: [Grunting] Johnny.

[Groans] He’s– he’s–

[Winces] We hit the bike trails every weekend

Susan: So after the exorcism, I had a premonition that the devil was still here in salem. And I thought that he just ducked right back into dr. Marlena evans. So I went over to her place, and I sprayed her full of holy water. I did it all over. And I tried to banish that demon, once and for all.

Ciara: But the demon wasn’t inside her.

Susan: No, no, no. She–she assured me that she was 100% her. So I just thought that my– my devil-detector was on fritz.

Ben: Huh. And you didn’t get any bad vibes about johnny?

Susan: No. No, not one. And I–and I mean, I saw him before I left town. But–

Ben: But what?

Susan: The night of johnny’s engagement party…

Ben: Yeah.

Susan: I got sick. I got sick, and I went to the hospital. I just knew that something was not right. I mean, I–I couldn’t shake this feeling, this feeling that–that– that there was this evil force behind it all.

Ciara: The devil.

Susan: Yes. And I just didn’t– I didn’t think that he was done with us yet. Huh. But johnny possessed, huh? I just can’t believe I just stood right in front of him, my kin, my flesh and blood, and I just didn’t have a clue.

Jake: He’s– [Groans]

Gabi: He’s–he’s what?

Jake: Johnny’s–

[Groans] Damn it. He’s a creep… who tricked you into stabbing me in the back.

[Eerie music]

Gabi: What happened? J–johnny, I thought you said you were calling security.

Johnny: Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.

Belle: Oh. Our time’s almost up. Is there anything else you need?

Ej: Just find a way to get me out of this hellhole.

Belle: Well, I’m on it. My next angle is chad.

Ej: [Laughs] Don’t waste your time.

Belle: Why? Why do you say that?

Ej: The last time I saw my brother, he called me a criminal, a sociopath, and told me he hopes I’ll stay locked up forever.

Belle: Well, he was out of his mind with worry. And good news, abigail is home. She’s safe and sound.

Ej: Wonderful. I’m sure chad’s state of mind is much better. But not good enough that he’d help me.

Belle: Well, that’s exactly what he was going to do before he had that coughing fit on the witness stand.

Ej: Mm-hmm. And then he did the opposite.

Belle: Because he thought you tried to force yourself on his wife.

Ej: Which I assure you, I did not.

Belle: Okay. My point is, whatever did or did not happen, chad led me to believe that we’d be pleased with his testimony, which means he knows something. Something that we haven’t heard yet that could exonerate you.

Ej: And you think you can get that out of him?

Belle: Well, I’m sure gonna try. Chad is the one who found the payments that link you to sami’s kidnapper. And if I can get him to admit that he planted those or–or he knows who did, that’s gonna go a long way to proving your innocence.

Ej: While I admire your tenacity, I seriously doubt that my brother, who hates me more now than he did before I was arrested, is going to volunteer any new information.

Belle: I am gonna get you out of here. That’s a promise.

Ej: I can’t tell you how grateful I am to have you in my corner.

Belle: Well, hopefully, this will all be over soon. In the meantime, chin up.

[Dramatic music]

Orpheus: You’re up for parole soon, correct?

Clyde: Yeah. I finally got a new hearing. And with any luck, I’m about to blow this popsicle stand.

Orpheus: Unless those nasty memories come back to ej and leave you in a body bag.

Clyde: No, that ain’t gonna happen.

Orpheus: Well, there’s also the possibility that someone could present the parole bar with evidence that links you to a new crime.

Clyde: That would certainly throw a wrench into the works.

Orpheus: Yeah. Yeah, it would. But you sort of got it coming, don’t you?

Clyde: Hey, man, I get it. You hold a grudge against me for stabbing you, I know. But like I told you before, I did that for my son. Ollie was looking for his wife. I was just helping him.

Orpheus: My son did try to kill ben, so I suppose that makes us even. Besides, if you do get a parole, might be useful to have a– a friend on the outside.

Clyde: [Laughs] Yeah. I always say, one hand washes the other.

Orpheus: Hm. So we’ve established that it’s in both of our best interest that ej never remember what you did to him. Because if he does, we’ll both suffer the consequences.

Ej: What consequences are those?

[Dramatic music]

(Vo) at dog chow

Chad: Come in.

Belle: Thanks for agreeing to see me.

Chad: What can I do for you?

Belle: Well, I just came from statesville, and I want to talk to you about your brother’s appeal.

[Tense music]

Clyde: Ha, what a coincidence. I was just telling my friend here about my new cellmate.

Orpheus: And I was just telling clyde how fortunate he is. My cellmate can’t seem to figure out a way to hide his contraband. Keeps getting us both put on lockdown.

Ej: I see, those consequences.

Clyde: Ej dimera, meet milo harp.

Orpheus: You can call me orpheus. It’s a pleasure.

Ej: Same.

Orpheus: Well, I’m sure glad to see you boys are getting along.

[Tense music]

Susan: [Grunting] I can’t believe the devil has possessed my poor grandson.

Ciara: Well, no, susan, we don’t know that for sure.

Ben: I mean, this entire thing could be a series of bizarre coincidences.

Susan: Oh, you are being so kind to me, ben weston. But you know what, I cannot bury my head in the sand. See, if my johnny is going toe-to-toe with that devil, then he’s gonna need help from his grandmama. Yep, so I need to get there right away.

Ben: All right, well, I’m gonna go with you.

Susan: Oh, oh, oh. No. No. No. I really appreciate it, benny. But you know what, if you show up with me, then that might tip lucifer off that we’re on to him.

Ciara: Yeah, but susan, I really think that we–

Susan: And you know what?

Ciara: Yeah.

Susan: If the devil is in the dimera mansion, then I am the one who’s going to find out, sooner rather than later. Okay, here I go.

Ciara: Okay.

Susan: Hoo! [Sighs]

Ciara: All right.

[Dramatic music]

Gabi: What happened in here?

Jake: I don’t know. It’s all a little fuzzy.

Gabi: Johnny says you attacked him.

Jake: That’s a lie, just like everything else he’s been telling you.

Gabi: Just stop.

Jake: I–gabi, I– he’s playing you. He got you to believe that I’m doing all this stuff that I didn’t do.

Gabi: Like telling maggie that you’d be fine if I didn’t get the top position at titan. Huh? As long as you got what you wanted, you’d be fine handling me.

Jake: I never said that.

Gabi: I was there. I heard you say you were just using me.

Jake: That’s impossible!

Gabi: And the signature on the petition to steal my late husband’s shares from me. Huh? How do you explain that?

Jake: I don’t know, I can’T. Okay? At least not yet. But I know that little weasel was behind it.

Johnny: Come on, do we really have to listen to this again? I mean, at this point it’s– it’s just pathetic.

Jake: Gabi and I are talking here, pal.

Johnny: And clearly, she’s not interested in anything you have to say.

Jake: You want to let the lady speak for herself.

Johnny: Or what? You gonna go all hulk on me again?

Gabi: Johnny, would you just let me and jake speak alone, please?

Johnny: You sure you’re gonna be okay?

Gabi: I’ll be fine.

Johnny: Okay.

Jake: You happy now? You got everything you want? Ceo at dimera.

Gabi: That’s right.

Jake: So what? Obviously, you don’t need me anymore, right?

Gabi: Obviously.

Jake: I guess we break up now, that’s it?

Gabi: You know what, spare me the act, please. Don’t pretend. This is your fault.

Jake: The–gabi.

[Groans]

[Tense music]

Is it cool if I go by the house, pick up my stuff?

Gabi: Maybe you should get yourself checked out first–

Jake: I’m fine, I’m fine.

Gabi: Adios, then.

Jake: I love you, gabi. I don’t understand why you’re doing this.

Gabi: That makes two of us. If you want to get your stuff, now would be a good time because no one’s there.

Jake: You know, a few weeks ago, we were on top of the world, you and me. Partners in life, in business. We had our whole bright future ahead of us. And now… I don’t know how this could have happened.

[Dramatic music]

Clyde: So how’d it go with your lawyer?

Ej: Unfortunately, she had nothing new to report.

Clyde: Well, one thing I’ve learned in here, good things come to those who wait.

Ej: Patience was never my strong suit.

Clyde: Well, it ain’t so bad, you know. We got a roof over our heads, three squares a day. Hey. Take my advice. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this nice, cushy lifestyle.

Ej: What did you just say?

Clyde: [Laughs] I said, enjoy this nice, cushy lifestyle. You got the fancy accent, a mistress on the side and a nice, cushy lifestyle handed to you on a platter. Hey. You all right?

Ej: Yes. I was just thinking.

Chad: So you came all the way over here to talk about ej?

Belle: Yeah. Why? What’d you think I came over here to talk to you about?

Chad: Well, I assumed since you’re the company’s general counsel, you’d heard the news.

Belle: What news?

Chad: That scheming bitch ousted me from dimera.

[Pensive music]

Jake: See, we don’t have to share power. You know why? As soon as we take over both companies, you’ll run titan, I’ll run dimera.

Gabi: I like the sound of that.

Jake: Right? We’ll work on it first thing in the morning, but in the meantime, why don’t we work on a little merger of our own?

[Dramatic music]

Ciara: [Laughs]

Ben: [Huffs]

Ciara: All right. I am going to head to the hospital to pick up some more prenatal vitamins.

Ben: I’m going with you.

Ciara: Uh-uh. No, no, no. You are staying right here until you finish that swing.

Ben: Babe.

Ciara: Nice try, baby. Love you.

Ben: [Huffs] Love you too.

Ciara: Good luck.

Ben: Thanks.

Ciara: Oh. Hi, jake. Bye, jake.

Jake: Oh.

Ben: Jake.

Jake: Yo.

Ben: My man. What’s going on?

Jake: [Sighs]

Ben: Ooh. You do not look good.

Jake: Yeah, well, after the day I had, it’s not much of a surprise.

Ben: Oh, my god, guy. What happened?

Jake: Gabi double-crossed me. And, uh, yeah, left herself as head of dimera and me out in the cold.

Ben: What the hell happened?

Jake: I’m still trying to figure that out. What I do know is that snake, johnny dimera, got it in her head that I was the one who betrayed her. I just don’t know how he did it.

Ben: Well, I’ll tell you what, man, I can think of one possibility.

[Exciting music]

Susan: Knock, knock.

Johnny: Ah, grandma. Wh–what are you doing here?

Susan: [Clears throat] I’m here to see if you really are my grandson.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ridge: Son, whatever it is, you can talk to me.

Thomas: It’s nothing,

Ridge: It’s nothing? It’s not nothing, you just said it was something. Something surprising. Talk to now, you just pause, and you have nothing to say. What is it? Are you hiding something?

Taylor: Sheila, I have a few minutes, if you’d like to sit down.

Sheila: Yeah. I just– I don’t know why we’re all so surprised that brooke is finally showing her true colors, showing us who she truly is. I know that… you have way too much class to laugh at her misery, but you got to feel a little good seeing her lose.

Taylor: No, I don’T. Sheila, nothing feels good about that. She’s not well.

Sheila: You shouldn’t worry about brooke.

Taylor: Well, despite our differences. You know, I’m– I’m concerned about her, you know? Something triggered her that night and spiraled her out of control.

Zende: So what do you think?

Paris: It’s, uh, wow, it’s– it’s gorgeous. What did hope say?

Zende: I haven’t shown it to her yet. I wanted to run it by you first.

Paris: Me? You’re the super talented, successful designer.

Zende: And you are my muse. You inspired this design, paris.

Paris: Oh, wow, I, I don’t know what to say.

Zende: There’s nothing to say. When you’re a designer, you’re always looking for inspiration. When it hits, you just have to run with it.

Paris: Well, I’m sure it hits with all of the beautiful models fighting after your attention, like sequoyah. Are you going out with her tonight?

Zende: Would it bother you if I did?

Carter: Oh, I didn’t realize you guys were in here. Just need to pick up a file, I’ll be out of your way in a second.

Zende: No, no, actually stay, you just came in at the right time. I was just asking paris if it would bother her if I went out with sequoyah again. She hasn’t answered yet, but I think it’s pretty obvious.

Carter: I think whatever this is, it’s between you two.

Zende: Oh come on, carter. You know paris as well as I do. Well, almost.

Carter: I just don’t think I should be in the middle of this.

Zende: You are in the middle of this. You’re a friend, and i need your help. Lately, I feel like whenever I’m trying to talk to paris, what I mean to say, it’s just– it’s not coming out right. Maybe your being here can help with that.

Paris: Zende, what– what’s going on?

Zende: I asked earlier if me seeing sequoyah again bothers you, but I already know it doesn’T. Now, I don’t mean to judge. I just mean that you’re the one who said you wanted to keep things loose and free, and I agreed. But I guess I’m still just getting used to things being casual. And I guess you are too.

Paris: Yeah.

Zende: I do have one more question, though. Are you seeing anyone else?

Sheila: You’re finally getting what you want. Don’t worry about brooke. She’s going to meetings, she’s got the support of her family. She’s going to be fine. Just go on.

Taylor: Listen, sheila, like I said, she, she’s sick. She– she needs help. For a lot of things, but, you know, ridge, ridge is determined to figure out what happened. He really is. He wants answers. She was successfully sober for a very long time. Then all of a sudden, boom, she got triggered and something set her off.

Sheila: Well, it’s like I said before, who knows what happened, I mean, brooke doesn’t know, and she probably never will.

Ridge: Son, please, what’s going on? Your mom and I are concerned about you.

Thomas: Don’t be. I’ve been waiting for this for a really long time. Seeing you guys together, happy. And I know how much this means to mom. And– and I hope it means the same to you. And I know that you care about mom but–

Ridge: But– but you want to be protective. I get it and I appreciate it. And you’re right, there’s a lot of things to figure out. And not just taylor and me, but with the whole family. There’s things we got to talk about, but you got to know that I’m so happy that she’s here. She’s been my rock through all this with brooke. She listens to me and I’M… I’m grateful she’s in my life. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Zende: I know it’s really none of my business if you’re seeing someone. And the only reason you know about sequoyah is because we work in the same building.

Paris: Yeah.

Zende: I still would have told you, though. Would you have asked me if I was seeing anyone?

Paris: I– I don’t know, I wouldn’t want to make you feel like I was putting you on the spot.

Zende: Is that what you feel like I’m doing? Paris, it was not my intention to make you feel uncomfortable or put you on the spot, or whatever.

Paris: Zende, I know that.

Zende: What I’m trying to say with all of this is that… I still care about you, paris. I haven’t forgotten about you. And I hope you haven’t forgotten about me.

Carter: Look, I– I really shouldn’t be part of this, and it’s clear that you both still have a lot to talk about, so I’m going to head home.

Zende: No, no, carter, wait, hold on. I’m sorry. That was a little inappropriate to bring up with both of you here, but I really appreciate you hearing me out and I appreciate your friendship.

Sheila: So you think if you can pinpoint brooke’s trigger, it’ll help her with her recovery?

Taylor: Possibly. Yeah, I– I think everyone has unhealed trauma and we all deal with it different. But if we could find brooke’s core wound, I think it would help her tremendously in breaking the cycle.

Sheila: Why are we talking about brooke? We should be discussing you and ridge. I mean, it is so great that you two are finally coming back together after all this time.

Taylor: Sheila, I– I know that you, um, you’ve put a lot of energy into trying to gain my trust, but… considering our history, I, I don’t feel comfortable with this.

Sheila: I apologize.

Taylor: No, please don’T. I just wanted to set a boundary.

Sheila: And I understand I need to earn your trust, taylor, and I’m hoping that one day we will be closer. Who ever would have thought that a year ago we’d be spending christmas eve together. I really do appreciate you extending that olive branch. And you’re a good person, taylor, you deserve the very best.

Taylor: Thank you. That’s very kind.

Sheila: No, it’s true. You deserve to win. And I know that I’m not supposed to talk about this, but I’m really happy that you and ridge are working your way back to one another. You coming to los angeles, reuniting with ridge. Yeah. That’s exactly the way that I would have orchestrated it.

Ridge: I got to ask you something.

Thomas: Yeah.

Ridge: Do you doubt how much I care for your mom?

Thomas: No, no, I don’T.

Ridge: Good.

Thomas: Yeah, I just, um… I just hope things are going to be different. Look, every time that brooke does something, she’ll do something terrible, she’ll hurt you, and then you always forgive her. Look, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t even be bringing this up–

Ridge: No, no, no, no, no, no. You’re absolutely right. It’s always been like that. Brooke and I were together and then somebody screws up and we find our way back to each other, we forgive and, and it’s been like that your whole life. I know that. But thomas, I promise you, I thought this time was going to be different, this whole thing with bill. And we worked through it, and I thought we were going to be stronger for it. And then deacon shows up. She makes out with him and she sleeps with him in our bed and she defends him. So whoever I thought brooke was, whoever I thought she could be, I– she’s not.

Thomas: You were even willing to forgive her, and she let you down.

Ridge: Why is that? Why, we were good, we were in a good place. Yeah, hope and deacon, they were a problem, but not– we had it covered, we were, we were fine. And I know she was drinking. I get it. She took full responsibility for everything. But you know what, that doesn’T… it doesn’t let her off the hook. She’S… she’s not blameless. Homegrown tomatoes…nice.

Sequoyah: It’s beautiful, as always.

Zende: Thank you, but everything looks beautiful on you.

Sequoyah: Do you have any plans tonight?

Zende: I am not sure what my evening looks like, I have all these deadlines that are starting to stack up. I may have to pull an all nighter.

Sequoyah: All work and no–

Zende: I know, maybe I’ll be able to finish all of it. I’ll let you know. Dr. Buckingham, hey.

Grace: Hello, zende. And remember, please call me grace. I hope I’m not interrupting.

Zende: No, no, not at all. We were just finishing up.

Sequoyah: Grace, how’re you?

Grace: I’m good.

Sequoyah: Well, I’ll get going, then. Hopefully I’ll see you later.

Grace: That’s interesting.

Zende: What is?

Grace: Turning down an evening with a very beautiful woman who’s into you?

Zende: You overheard?

Grace: I did, and I’m sure I’m overstepping, so I apologize in advance. But are deadlines the real reason why you didn’t want to go out with that model tonight or is it because you rather be with paris?

Carter: Are you serious? You didn’t send the file? How many times do I gotta tell this guy? I didn’t tell him. You need to wake up, man, you need to wake up.

[ Knocking on door ]

[ Knocking on door ]

Paris: Carter, it’s me. I just had to see you.

Sheila: You wouldn’t do it, thomas, you wouldn’t destroy everything that’s so important to you.

[ Knocking on door ] I’m busy.

Thomas: It’s me.

Sheila: Did you tell ridge? Did you tell him what I did to brooke?

Ridge: Hey.

Taylor: Hey, ridge.

Ridge: I’m sorry to just barge in, but I had to tell you what I just learned. We’re eating and drinking foods and beverages

Carter: This is dangerous. Paris, you coming here like this?

Paris: I know, but I just had to see you.

Carter: I figured you’d still be talking to zende.

Paris: You heard him. He is still seeing sequoyah, keeping things casual.

Carter: But it doesn’t change the way he feels about you.

Paris: Carter, I can’t stop thinking about you, and I get the sense that you can’t stop thinking about me either.

Carter: Paris.

Paris: Stop… talking.

Taylor: Okay, so, so what did you learn? Is it about thomas?

Ridge: He finally opened up to me.

Taylor: Okay, what? He told you what was going on?

Ridge: He did.

Taylor: Is it bad? Is it okay? What did he say?

Ridge: It’s fine. It’s all right. I don’t even know where to start.

Taylor: Oh my god.

Ridge: No, no, no. It’s okay. He told me… he told me he is so happy that you’re back and that we’re spending time together.

Taylor: That’s– that’s– that’s the big news?

Ridge: Yeah, I need an excuse to see you. Taylor: Okay. You need an excuse to work me up, too, because you’re a master at that.

Ridge: Thank you.

Taylor: You never… need an excuse to see me.

Ridge: No?

Taylor: Na uh.

Sheila: Did you tell your father?

Thomas: No.

Sheila: Oh wow, finally someone with a brain. You don’t look at me that way. It’s because of me your mom and dad have a chance to be together again.

Thomas: But at what expense? Ruining brooke’s life?

Sheila: Oh, you’re worried about her?

Thomas: You drove her to drink. All right, I’m not fond of brooke, but you’re playing with her sobriety.

Sheila: Yeah, but you know what? She’s betrayed your father on numerous occasions. It was only a matter of time before it happened to–

Thomas: You got her drunk.

Sheila: I did. But I didn’t make her kiss deacon. Or press her body against his or put him in her bed and let him lay his head on your father’s pillow. I certainly didn’t try to get her to lie to cover the truth. Give me a break here, okay? I’ve given you all a gift. You, steffy, your mother and father. You have a real shot at finally being a family again. You’re welcome.

Thomas: This is wrong.

Sheila: Is it? Why can’t your mom win, just this once? You know, you did the right thing by not telling your father what happened to brooke that night. So you just keep using your head. You keep quiet. And watch your parents… get the chance they deserve. If you want your parents to have their happily ever after, then be smart. Don’t breathe a word of this to anyone. You need to keep this secret forever.

Taylor: Well, you left early. Did you sleep well?

Ridge: I slept great, the mattress in the guest house is amazing.

Taylor: Are you trying to make me jealous, because the mattress in the guest room, not so much.

Ridge: Really? Well, if you ever want to switch it up, I take bribes.

Taylor: No, no, I like sleeping in the main house. It’s close to the grandchildren– oh my gosh. Is this yours? It’s beautiful.

Ridge: I wish. This is thomas’ latest, pretty cool, right?

Taylor: Really? Oh, my– well, you taught him, well.

Ridge: Thank you.

Taylor: Yeah. Speaking of thomas, did you talk to him, did you find out what he was talking about?

Ridge: No, I haven’t talked to him since we were here. Um, yes, I know it’S… curious.

Taylor: Yeah, but he said he had a meeting. You’re the co-ceo, so you should know about his meetings.

Ridge: Uh, not if it’s a meeting for, I don’t know, maybe he’s trying to find a new house. Let’s not worry about it.

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: Until we have to worry about it.

Sheila: What are you doing here? How did you find me?

Thomas: Doesn’t matter. We need to talk.

Sheila: I think I made it perfectly clear I– I am not going to say anything–

Thomas: Sheila, I’ve got questions. And if you hadn’t ran out yesterday when steffy got home then I would’ve asked you–

Sheila: You didn’t say anything to steffy, did you? I swear to god, if you told anyone about what we spoke of–

Thomas: Sheila. Are you responsible for getting brooke to drink?

Sheila: I wasn’t going to say anything to you about any of that, but the way that you were talking to me, telling me that– that I wasn’t welcome at steffy’s and that I needed to stay away from steffy and finn? From hayes?

Thomas: Yes. But what? Were we supposed to just, like, roll out the welcome mat for you because you got brooke to drink?

Sheila: Your parents are getting back together again, aren’t they? Ridge has finally realized that his life would be so much better with taylor. So, yes, I do think I deserve a little respect here. Because none of that would be happening if I hadn’t put things in motion.

Thomas: You got an alcoholic to drink. Real respectable.

Sheila: It’s a beautiful thing. Bad things happen to bad people. Brooke had it coming. That bitch deserved every last drop.

[ Brooke sighs ]

Ridge: You chose deacon

over me.

Brooke: No. No,

I didn’t do that. No.

Ridge: I told you,

he was going to put a wedge

between–I told you he was

going to ruin everything.

And you invited him

into our house.

Into our bed, logan,

into our bed.

It’s gone,

there’s nothing sacred.

I can’t do this anymore.

Deacon: Brooke? Are you okay?

Brooke: You shouldn’t be here, deacon.

Deacon: I’m thinking I’m exactly where I need to be.

Ridge: I know I said not to worry about thomas, but now I keep thinking about this being surprised by something. What does that mean?

Taylor: I don’t know. You sure it wasn’t like a happy surprise?

Ridge: It didn’t sound like it on the phone. But you know what? Whatever it is… I’m sure he’ll tell us when he’s ready. Right?

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: Yeah.

Thomas: I don’t understand. You weren’t there, were you?

Sheila: I was nowhere near.

Thomas: Then you couldn’t have had anything to do with brooke drinking. You’re making it up.

Sheila: No, I’m not. I get full credit for her slipping off of the wagon. While you guys all sat around wringing your hands, lamenting over brooke’s position in your life? You know, I took action. Your parents have another chance together because of me. So stop your threats and stop telling me that I don’t belong. It might do you good to adjust your attitude and be a little more thankful that I’m around. I’m the kind of person you want working for you, thomas. Not against. Just ask brooke.

I may have moderate to

severe rheumatoid arthritis.

Sheila: This is our little secret, right? What I did to brooke? You know your father, and if he thinks that brooke was the victim, he’s going to run right back to her. Do you really want to put your mother through that kind of pain?

Thomas: Tell me how you did it. How did you get brooke to drink?

Sheila: No, no the less you know, the better. You need to stay innocent in all of this, all right? There was a problem, her name was brooke, and I took care of it. You know… a lot of what I did, I did because of you… because of your family, what I– what I did to you when you were young, taking your mother away from you and letting brooke just move right in. She’s threason ur parents hav en apart allse yrs. Thanks to me, brooke is going to be permanently out of the picture. Unless you open a door for him to go back to her. And I know you don’t want that to happen. I know you want to see your parents reunited. You just think of the future your parents could have, together, the future… that you can give them, if you just keep silent. Do you understand? Not a word of my involvement. Not a word to anyone.

Deacon: I know you must feel like you’re alone right now, but you’re not. I’m here.

Brooke: Thank you.

Deacon: It’s just hard to believe that he would take off like that. Just because you dared to tell him that I didn’t do anything to you.

Brooke: That was just the breaking point.

Deacon: I can only imagine how painful this is. It’s got to be hurtful having him go back to taylor and his family that he has with her.

Brooke: Yeah, yeah, that’s very hurtful. But it’s also understandable. I mean, he told me over and over again about his concerns about you, his feelings. And I didn’t listen. So I can understand why he reacted the way he did. Why he left me alone like this.

Deacon: Hey. You’re not alone. Not as long as I’m here.

Ridge: That’s it. One vanilla one caramel, but the caramel one you– yes, it’s a little complicated,

Taylor: It’s not complicated.

Ridge: It’s almond milk, very hot, and light on the syrup, just two pumps of that and that’s it. And make sure there’s a sleeve on the cup so it doesn’t get too hot. I know. Believe me. Thank you. Okay, thanks.

[ Sighs ]

Taylor: Very good. How do you remember that after all these years?

Ridge: I don’t know. I forget things, names, phone numbers, birthdays, but your latte order, it’s– it’s stuck. And if you want the pizza, I got that covered too.

Taylor: Yeah, that’s right extra–

Ridge: Extra– no.

Taylor: No.

Ridge: Extra sauce, easy on the cheese.

Taylor: You remember better than I do.

Thomas: Did someone say pizza? Because you can count me in.

Ridge: Hey, son.

Taylor: Hi.

Thomas: It’s good to see you both. Like, you’re so relaxed, it has been such a long time since you’ve been happy and laughing.

Ridge: Well, your mother definitely lifted my spirits. New densify from crest pro-health.

Brooke: You know, I really do appreciate your support. I do. You have to know that. It’s just– can I ask you for a favor?

Deacon: Anything.

Brooke: When you’re criticizing ridge, it doesn’t really feel like support. And it doesn’t feel great, either, when you talk about ridge going to taylor’s, so. I need to own this. I need to take responsibility. And I’m the one who opened that bottle. I’m the one who started drinking, who insisted that you drink with me. And we kissed and I lied about it. Well, I just didn’t tell ridge about it, but that’s the same as lying, right? So once again, I let ridge down.

Deacon: I just wish you wouldn’t do this, I wish you wouldn’t– put all the blame on yourself.

Brooke: What– who else is there to blame? I married ridge, I took vows. I made a commitment to him to be faithful. What do I do? The second he leaves town, I’m opening the bottle and drinking and kissing and– kissing a man that he despises.

Deacon: Okay, just listen to me. It’s totally okay to take responsibility for that, but, you know, ridge can take a little responsibility himself he doesn’t have to act the way that he is, flying off the handle at me every time, or worse? Deciding that the grass is greener with taylor.

Brooke: Maybe it is.

Deacon: What?

Brooke: I don’t know. Maybe it could be.

Deacon: Why would you say that?

Brooke: I’ve been talking to hope about this. And maybe thomas and steffy are right. Maybe I will never be able to break this pattern, this behavior of mine. So, yeah, maybe taylor is a better woman for ridge.

Ridge: Well.

Taylor: Give that intern a raise because she knows how to place an order.

Ridge: Noted. Mm, should’ve gotten you some coffee, but I didn’t know when you were coming in.

Thomas: All good.

Taylor: Are you going to ask him?

Ridge: Oh–

Thomas: Ask me what?

Ridge: Uh, you were on the phone yesterday talking about a meeting.

Taylor: Yeah, you– you told your father something, something surprised you, something surprising.

[ Phone beeps ]

Taylor: Oh, shoot.

Ridge: What’s the matter?

Taylor: Well, it’s– it’s a patient that I’m worried about. I need to get back to the office. Well, unless there’s something there that you want to talk to us about. Something you want to tell us?

Thomas: No, no, no. Not yet, anyway.

Taylor: Okay. Okay. I love you.

Thomas: I love you too.

Taylor: All right. Thanks for the coffee.

Ridge: Any time.

[ Ridge sighs ]

Thomas: Have you ever smiled this much?

Ridge: Yeah, maybe it’s been a while. A long while.

Thomas: Looks good on you. I hope it stays that way. I’m steve, I lost 138 pounds in nine months on golo

Deacon: No one knows what’s going to happen in the future, brooke. I mean, maybe ridge will wind up with taylor. But that does not mean that she’s the better woman. And I never want to hear you to say that again. Listen to me, you’re emotional right now, and you let your guilt tear you down. And just because ridge can’t see how terrific you are doesn’t mean that I can’T. And come on, you’re– you’re brooke frickin logan, the brooke logan. Any man would walk barefoot across a desert of hot, broken glass just to be with you. It was too much with the broken glass, wasn’t it? I know they’re not all winners. But the point is… I just think you’re amazing.

Taylor: Yeah, it sounds like you’re finding some clarity. That’s wonderful. Hey, I have you– I have you next down for next tuesday. Is that right? Okay, good. Okay. You’re welcome. Bye-bye. Sheila.

Sheila: Excuse me. I was just wondering if you had a moment.

Taylor: I do, I do. What– what brings you by? I just can’t stop thinking about what you told me the last time. How you and ridge are are, are working your way back to one another. And taylor, that makes me so happy. I know that it makes you very happy, sheila, because you’ve made that very clear, but I never told you any of that. You’re jumping to conclusions.

Sheila: No, it was written all over your face then just as it is now. I think that you and ridge are going to have a very long, joyful relationship.

Taylor: Are you a psychic now? Is that it? I appreciate your confidence. Thank you.

Sheila: Of course I’m confident. And brooke crossed a line, she kissed deacon, and there is no way that ridge is going to go back to her.

Taylor: Yeah, well, you know, we’re– we’re taking it one day at a time. There’s, there’s a lot of emotions going on right now and ridge is– he’s confused and hurt, frustrated.

Sheila: Well, that’s a good thing that you’re there for him.

Taylor: Yeah, yeah, I am. It’s been nice spending time with him. It really has that– kind of feels like a dream.

Sheila: Well… then you’re living proof that dreams can come true. Because of one night, one crazy night. That’s all it took for brooke to destroy her marriage.

Taylor: Yeah, yeah. Brooke brooke messed up kissing deacon. But, you know, she was drinking that night.

Sheila: Of course, I haven’t forgotten.

[ Phone ringing ]

Taylor: Yeah. She still doesn’t know what possessed her to drink alcohol.

Sheila: And she probably never will.

Taylor: Hello. Oh, are you calling about the new assistant position? Thank you so much. Um, what is your name?

Thomas: Dad, I got to say, mom brings out the best in you.

Ridge: She always has. There’s something about her. I don’t know. She just makes things lighter in a way, you know, especially with all the stuff happening with brooke. Maybe this sounds selfish, but I think I’m at an age now where I deserve some happiness. And brooke self-destructs. Always has, I guess, and she makes bad choices, and why am I telling you this? I’m sorry, you’ve got your own stuff too.

Thomas: No, no, no, no. Come on, I’m always here for you.

Ridge: I know that, and I appreciate it. But something’s going on, what is it? What is this thing you talk about surprising something. What was it?

Thomas: Yeah, it’s very surprising. Something that could… change everything.

[ Phone ringing ] I have to take this. Hello.

Sheila: Have you said anything?

Thomas: Not yet.

Sheila: Well, then you better make that never. Because I’m here with your mom right now. I got to tell you, I have never seen her happier. You don’t want to ruin that for her, thomas.

Thomas: I got to go. My dad’s waiting on me.

Sheila: You’re with him? Don’t say anything, thomas. Promise me.

Ridge: Now, you just said it’s something that can change everything, and then you take a phone call. What’s going on? I need to know what it is.
