Trina comes into the classroom where Joss, Cam and Esme are talking. She asks what going on. They tell her about the video playing in the class. She says sincerely that she is so sorry. Esme responds, “are you, though?”

At Spring Ridge, Harmony is working with Ryan. Kevin walks up. Harmony says she knows he is Dr. Collins, Ryan’s brother. However, she doesn’t think she’s seen him visit before. He tells her he tries to limit contact with his brother. He asks her what her assessment is of Ryan’s condition. She lets him know that Ryan only communicates by blinking.

Britt is sitting in a room when Maxie brings in Bailey Lu. Brittremarks that it’s about time she meet her niece. Maxie asks if she will forgive her for keeping the secret.

At Sam’s house, Sam, Laura, and Drew are talking about how they could deal with Victor. They agree that the fewer people who know their plans, the better.  Dante knocks at the door. He sees she has company and asks if he should come back.

On Spoon Island, Victor tells Ava that Spencer is struggling and that she and Nik are making it worse.

Back at the prison, Harmony tells Kevin that Ryan can communicate pretty well with her using a letter board.  However, it’s not so easy with other staff members. Nik walks in and tells the guard that he wants to see Spencer. He knows that his Uncle Victor hired him to look out for Spencer, but he insists on seeing his son. The guard wonders if Spencer will want to see him. Just then, Spencer enters the room.

Britt tells Maxie there is nothing to forgive. She understands and is proud of what Maxie did.

At Sam’s, Laura invites Dante in on the plan. She must leave to meet Kevin. She tells them to not make a move without letting her know.

Victor tells Ava that Spencer was upset about not being able to visit his mother’s grave. He tells Ava it’s her fault because she pressed charges. He tells her she and Nik should rethink their vow renewal.

Spencer agrees to talk to Nik.

Esme continues to accuse Trina of being responsible for the video. Trina tells Joss and Cam they were set up.

Brittt tells Maxie that her mom is sure that Victor helped Peter with his misdeeds. Maxie tells her that right now she just wants to spend time with her kids. James and Georgie are in love, Maxie informs her with a smile. Britt can tell Maxie is, too. She means with Bailey, but Maxie thinks she means someone else.

Laura and Kevin meet at the Metro Court. Kevin tells her that Ryan refuses to communicate with him. It bothers him that he doesn’t know why.

Spencer tells Nik that Victor has urged him to give his dad a chance. Nik reminds Spencer that he is there because it is the anniversary of his mom’s death. Spencer tells Nik that he lost him twice, but Nik counters that he is the one who lost Spencer.

Ava snaps at Victor that their vow renewal is none of his business. Victor replies that she and Nik are so involved with each other that it’s hurting Spencer. She says that Spencer needs to be more concerned about his own love life than theirs.

Joss and Trina remind Esme of all the things she has done. Cam wants the discussion to stop. Trina remarks that she’ll defend herself.

Maxie tells Britt that she and Austin are trying things out. Britt agrees that it’s good to take things slow after all she has been through. Maxie asks if she’s seeing anybody. Britt says no because she’s too busy with work. Maxie doubts that’s the real reason.

Esme snarks that she didn’t know Trina had so many issues and was so dysfunctional. Trina calls Esme a “conniving bitch.”

Nik tells his son that he loves him and that he’s sorry for failing him. Spencer asks about Ava — where does she fit into their relationship?

Victor tells Ava that he’s only concerned about family unity. He suggests they include Spencer in the vow renewal.

Drew tells Dante that Victor tried to activate him and wants access to his memories. He says those memories can’t be accessed. They are going to fool Victor into thinking it is still possible so that they can find out what his objective is.

Cam lashes out at Esme, saying that she is toxic and needs to leave. She hopes one day they realize who their real friends are. Cam and Joss still can’t figure out how she videotaped them. Joss wishes that night had never happened. Cam looks surprised and hurt.

Maxie asks Britt when she last went on a date. She makes lots of excuses and tells Maxie that she sounds just like her mother. Maxie asks if she has ever considered a matchmaking service.

Laura tells Kevin that she and the others are working on a plan to trap Victor. She says they may not be able to put him in jail, but maybe they can at least get him out of Port Charles.

Ava informs Victor archly that she and Nik will make a decision about the vow renewal together. He replies that Cassadines can be their own worst enemies and that he wants to change that. She flashes back to her conversation with Laura about gaining Victor’s trust. He tells Ava that he has big plans but needs her help.

Harmony is discussing the plot of Wuthering Heights with Ryan as he stares at Spencer and Ryan talking across the room. Nik asks Spencer if they can start fresh. Spencer agrees because that’s what his mom would have wanted. Esme comes into the room and walks up to them. Nik says he will visit again next week and suggests that when Spencer is out of Spring Ridge, they can properly celebrate his birthday. Spencer asks Esme to forgive him for the way he acted about her parents. She assures him that it’s okay. Her grief his nothing compared to his, she tells him kindly. He also tells her that he knows she is sensitive about Trina, so he won’t bring her up again. Esme says she is not sensitive – she is just wise to Trina’s games.

When Nik comes home, Ava and Victor tell him they want to invite the whole family to the vow renewal. Victor offers to speak to Spencer. Nik tells him that he doesn’t mind him getting close to Spencer — as long as he doesn’t have an ulterior motive.

Drew, Dante, and Sam decide that they should plant the tarot card in Peter’s things (which Bailey will get), so that Victor can find it.

Laura tells Kevin that she wants to go to Austria with Anna to look into Luke’s death.

Spencer and Esme argue about his friendship with Trina. She tells him about the video tape. She thinks that Trina must be to blame. He speaks up for Trina, saying that she wouldn’t do something like that. Esme gets angry and leaves.

Joss realizes Cam took her statement the wrong way, so she assures him that she didn’t mean that she wishes the whole night hadn’t happened. Trina’s phone goes off. She says that someone sent her a link to an X-rated website. Joss is worried that they have gone viral.

Laura says that she wants to go to Austria because she still feels a loyalty to Luke. Kevin says he understands; he’s just worried about her safety. However, she changes her mind, saying she’s not going to go because she is needed for too many reasons in Port Charles.

Victor tells Nik that he just wants to reunite the family. Nik and Ava give each other a doubtful look.

Dante finds out that someone other than Maxie is the executor of Peter’s estate.

Britt receives a letter and a box. She tells Maxie it is “what is left of Peter.”

Trina tells Joss that she is there for her. Then she receives a text from Spencer, asking if she is okay.

Esme goes backs to the prison to see Spencer. When he has to leave the room, she walks over to Ryan. She asks if he needs anything. He looks at her and says, “What the Hell are you doing?” Esme looks very scared.

Young & The Restless Update

Y&R logo

Recap written by Christine

At Newman Locke, Ashland told Victoria that he’d just gotten off the phone with her father. Victoria wanted to know exactly what Victor said. Ashland didn’t want to upset her, but she said it was too late. He said that Victor threatened to expose Ashland’s crimes to Victoria unless Ashland capitulated. Victoria thought Victor’s actions were unacceptable. Ashland wondered how many times Victoria’s family would claim to have uncovered something about his past that made him unworthy of her. Not to mention the implication that she was a weak-willed victim who’d fallen prey to a monster. Victoria agreed with all that, but she wondered why Victor would be trying to squeeze Ashland out, and why Victor would tell this messy and obvious lie. She thought there had to be something more going on.

Victoria guessed Victor’s happiness at the wedding was a farce. Ashland suggested that Victor was happy at the wedding because he thought Ashland would die soon. Or, Victor pretended to be happy at the wedding because he wanted the merger to happen, so he could take control of Locke Communications and force Ashland out. Victoria realized Ashland was theorizing that Victor was the one behind the claims that Ashland faked his cancer. Victoria didn’t think Victor was framing Ashland. She didn’t think her dad would stoop that low or hurt her. Ashland said he was just trying to think of alternatives. Victoria understood why Ashland’s mind would go there, and she could also see why Victor bought into this insanity so quickly, but she didn’t think Victor was the one who made it look like Ashland was faking his illness. Victoria couldn’t picture Victor creating this wide-range conspiracy; that was too dark, even for Victor. Ashland apologized for suggesting it. Victoria wasn’t mad at him. She was angry with Victor for trying to use this lie to push Ashland out of her life. Ashland held Victoria and said he was sorry Victor was putting her through this. She said to feel sorry for Victor, because she was going to fight him with everything she had. “He has no idea what I’m capable of. But I am not gonna let him get away with this,” she said.

At Newman Media, Victor said to himself that Ashland just made a big mistake. “No one threatens me. No one threatens my family and gets away with it.”

Nate and Nick met at Society, at Nick’s request. Nate asked if this was about Faith or Victor’s health. Nick said his father and daughter were doing fine. Nick noted things were going well for everyone health-wise – Sharon was in remission, and Ashland had a miraculous recovery. Nick asked if Nate had ever seen anything like it. Nate admitted that Ashland’s amazing turnaround was rare. Nate wanted a deeper look into the protocol.

Nick thought Nate was a great friend of the family, even though they sometimes didn’t deserve it. Nick didn’t like leaning on that friendship, but he didn’t have a choice. Nick swore Nate to secrecy, then he said it had been suggested that Ashland’s recovery was too good to be true. Nate said sometimes science could seem like a miracle. Nick explained that there were indications that Ashland never had cancer. Nate knew Ashland pretty well, and he found it hard to believe Ashland would do something like this. He asked if the person spreading this rumor even knew Ashland. At that point, Victor arrived and joined the discussion. Nate knew some of the doctors Ashland worked with, by reputation, and they were excellent doctors who witnessed Ashland’s condition firsthand. Victor said Ashland deceived the Newmans, Victoria and Nate. Nate just couldn’t believe this without irrefutable evidence The trio went to Newman Media, where Victor let Nate watch the interview from the Peruvian doctors who said they were paid to pretend to treat Ashland. Nate asked if Victor took the video to the police or if he was sure the people on video were even doctors. He asked what decent doctor would pretend to treat a patient. Nate asked what about the doctor in NY, or the lab that ran the tests and diagnosed Ashland with cancer. Victor tried to get information from them, but he’d been stonewalled. Nate said that was called medical confidentiality. Nate asked if Victor even knew where the money came from to pay off the Peruvian doctors. He said someone could’ve framed Ashland by making it look like the money was from him. He thought Victor and Nick were falling for a scam. Victor said there was more evidence about Ashland on the way – he was a dangerous fraud. Victor wanted Nate to help them protect Victoria.

Nick understood Nate’s position, and he conceded that they didn’t have all the pieces of the puzzle, but he said there was enough evidence to seriously question Ashland’s condition. Nate had seen Ashland experiencing symptoms, and they were friends. Victor knew this was a shock, and he knew that feeling deceived was a hard pill to swallow, but he said to think about Victoria. Nate asked why Ashland would do such a thing. Victor said Ashland wanted Newman Enterprises.

Victor said that if Nate took a look into Ashland’s past, he’d see why it was easy for Ashland to convince Victoria to fall in love with him and convince her to merge the companies. Victor was sure Nate wondered why Ashland suddenly befriended him. “He needed your medical expertise to substantiate his BS about his medical history,” Victor said. Nate resented the implication that he’d been used. Victor asked if Nate read the ChancComm article – Ashland faked his own death and assumed the identity of the real Ashland Locke. Nick said Victoria knew everything in that article was true, but she was under Ashland’s spell, and she bought his excuses. Nick said that they had to gather proof and make sure Ashland didn’t do any more damage to Victoria or the family, and they needed Nate’s help to do that. Nate asked if there was incontrovertible evidence that Ashland lied about his condition. Victor had damning evidence, but it wasn’t enough to make Ashland come clean. Nick said they needed Nate’s help as a medical expert. Victoria burst in. “You have finally crossed the line. There is no coming back from this!,” she yelled.

Chance came downstairs. He’d taken a nap after his first therapy session. Abby knew it was a draining experience and asked if she could help. He assured her he wasn’t shutting her out, but he needed some time to figure this out on his own. He said they could talk about it later. Chance had wanted to take Abby to dinner, and he was sorry it didn’t look like that would happen. She didn’t care about going out. She was just grateful he was going to therapy. She’d never understand what it was like for him in Spain, but she was grateful he was facing his trauma and fighting for himself and Dominic. They kissed, and she began to unbutton his shirt.

Later, they held each other, and Chance said Abby had no idea what this did for him. Abby felt the same way. She said they’d have a lifetime of experiences, and they’d watch their son grow up. He told her they had a lot to be thankful for, then he suddenly said he was hungry, so he’d make them a snack. When he returned, he said it wasn’t easy to talk to Dr. Huffman, but he thought it helped. The doctor saw three tours overseas. Abby thought that was one of the reasons Sharon recommended him. Chance said Dr. Huffman understood a lot of what Chance was going through. Chance said that when people said what happened in Spain wasn’t his fault, he didn’t believe it, though he tried to. He felt that if he tried to move past it, it would be another betrayal of his team. He thought his team deserved to be remembered. Abby silently wept as she listened. He didn’t understand why he felt like he had to hold onto all this guilt. He knew he needed help. He said the pain had been a wall between him and Abby, and he couldn’t let that happen. She knew how hard it was for him to talk about this stuff and open up. She thanked him for sharing it with her. She wanted to be his safe place. He said she was. “I am determined not to fail this mission,” he assured her.

Faith was hanging out at Mariah and Tessa’s place. She asked how they knew they were in love. Mariah didn’t think there was a moment to pinpoint. She thought they both knew before they could admit to to each other. Tessa said that being in love was great, but it could be really scary. Faith shifted gears and asked how many guests they’d have at the wedding. They were keeping it small, so they could spend time with each guest. Faith asked if Mariah and Tessa were worried that their relationship wouldn’t survive the separation when Tessa was on tour. Mariah said it was very hard when Tessa went on the road, but it was also not an excuse to behave badly. Mortified, Faith said she didn’t mean to bring up any bad memories. Tessa said it was okay – being a couple meant that you sometimes worked through things when you made mistakes. Mariah said when she lost her way, Tessa was understanding, compassionate and forgiving. Tessa said Mariah had done the same for her. Mariah said it wasn’t always easy or fun to be in a relationship, but it shouldn’t be agonizingly hard either. Tessa said that you found out what worked and what didn’t, so you could make things last forever. Faith didn’t know what forever looked like, except from her grandparents’ example. Her grandparents had been together a long time, but even they’d had breakups. Her parents once loved each other, but now Sharon was with the awesome Rey, and Nick wasn’t with anyone. It made Faith wonder if soulmates were really a thing, and if they weren’t, why risk ending up with a broken heart.

Mariah wasn’t sure she and Tessa had answers on the risks of falling in love. Tessa added that she and Mariah felt like soulmates because they couldn’t imagine being apart. Tessa conceded that it was risky to put your heart out there, because it could end in ruin. Mariah added that things might work out too, but you wouldn’t know until you took the chance. Mariah asked if this was about Faith and Moses. According to Faith, things were really good with Moses, like life made more sense when he was around. But she knew things could change when they went to college, even though she didn’t want it to. Mariah said when you found the one, it could be reassuring, but sometimes things didn’t work out. Tessa said letting yourself fall in love required bravery and trust.

Noah showed up at Crimson Lights with a beautiful woman his age hanging all over him. He introduced Sharon to Cindy and explained that they were there to get some espresso before heading to the club. Cindy had already heard a lot about Sharon. She showered Sharon, Noah and Crimson Lights with compliments. It became apparent that Cindy didn’t actually know Noah well, because she called him Noel. Sharon asked about Cindy. She had a day job, but social media was her passion. Sharon asked if this was the woman Noah knew from his old days at Walnut Grove. Cindy wished she’d known him back then, but they just met today. Cindy said she and Noah had a meet-cute when they collided on the street while each was texting on their phone. Their phones went flying, and her screen broke, and he fell. They ended up going into a nearby cafe together and having a meal. She called him Noel again. He corrected her, and she acted like she’d been calling him the right name all along. Faith came in and met Cindy. Cindy joked that she was meeting Noah’s whole family on the first date.

Back upstairs, Mariah commented about her little sister pondering love and forever. Tessa said that wasn’t on her mind when she was that age. Mariah knew Tessa didn’t have it easy when she was a teen. Tessa said she’d been dealing with the chaos of her sister and parents. She noted that Mariah didn’t have it easy either. Mariah said she’d been too busy sleeping on friends’ couches and avoiding going home to the woman who raised her. They noted that Faith didn’t have it easy either, given all she’d dealt with. Mariah was glad that Faith got to focus on normal teenage stuff now. Mariah was touched by what Tessa said about their relationship. Mariah knew she put their relationship to the test the last few months. Mariah said Tessa didn’t have to be strong for both of them anymore. Mariah was back on her A game. Mariah admitted she’d been scared about Dom being sick, and it made her wonder what would happen if their future child got sick, if they even got to be parents. Mariah said her talent was worrying about things that hadn’t happened. Tessa said the world was scary, and that was why she was glad to have a partner to help her through it. She was glad to return the favor. They hugged.

Faith and Sharon went to the patio and talked about Cindy. Sharon thought Cindy seemed fun, and she said Noah seemed to be meeting a lot of new people in town. Faith thought it would be nice if Noah found someone. She said maybe seeing Mariah and Tessa happy put the idea of settling down into Noah’s head. Noah walked out and said no one was looking to settle down. Noah thought Sharon and Faith needed something more exciting to talk about. Faith said Noah didn’t have to settle down with Cindy – love could be scary, but you had to be brave. Faith said she was going to go vet Cindy, and she went inside. Noah had a feeling what Sharon was thinking. He conceded that he’d been with the woman from Walnut Grove the other day, and now Cindy tonight, but he was young, and he was supposed to go out and have fun. He asked her not to make this weird or find a reason to worry about him.

Inside Crimson Lights, Faith thought it was interesting that Cindy was a social media influencer. Tessa walked in, and Cindy was starstruck. She knew every lyric and she’d been to almost all Tessa’s concerts in the area. Tessa thought she’d seen Cindy at some of the shows. Cindy was sure Tessa was just humoring her. Tessa said that Cindy had a friendly smile, and she was usually drawn to people like that when she was performing. Cindy squealed in delight. Noah and Sharon returned. Cindy wrapped her arm around Noah again and told him that this was turning into one of the best dates of her life. Cindy said she and Noah were going to the club on market street, and she invited Tessa and her fiancee to come along. Noah was sure they had plans.

Cindy asked Noah if he was having as good a time as she was. Before he could fully say he was, Cindy screamed because “the other half of Teriah” arrived. Cindy couldn’t believe this was happening. Noah said Mariah was his sister. Cindy read online about Mariah getting on stage and professing her love for Tessa. “I died!,” she exclaimed. Cindy asked Noah to get her another espresso. Cindy wanted Mariah to tell her all about her relationship with Tessa.

Tessa told Noah that Cindy seemed cool. He said he forgot what he was missing being by himself so much. He told her that, like Faith said, Tessa and Mariah were couple-goals. He was trying to have some fun, and he’d leave the true love to the experts.

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

Devon: Really? Why, what happened?

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

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

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

Devon: Oh, okay.

Abby: Yeah, it was a mess.

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

Adam: I couldn’t say.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Update written by Joseph

Gwen pleads with Ava not to turn he rin to the police, arguing that they are in this together. Ava says she helped her out but this mess is all Gwen’s and she got dragged down to the station. Ava adds that this was all for nothing since if Chad brought Abigail back from that island, then Sarah can’t be far behind..

Sarah walks through the town square and sits at the bench, looking at the Tom and Alice plaque. Sarah brings up that people keep saying she is their granddaughter Sarah, but she is not. She’s Renee DuMonde and she’s here to take her life back and finally be with the man she loves. Xander then comes out from the Salem Inn and is shocked to see Sarah.

Kate finds Mr. Shin at the DiMera Enterprises office. Mr. Shin informs her that Gabi, Jake, and Johnny called a shareholders meeting for this morning. Kate notes that they didnt’ tell her and planned it for a time when Tony and Chad aren’t in town and EJ is in prison, so she thinks they are going to make a play. Kate declares that whatever it is, they’re not going to get away with it.

Gabi gets dressed for the meeting while Jake wants her to get back in bed. Gabi says they can’t have any distractions as everything is riding on today. Jake agrees to get dressed, but says tonight they are celebrating. Jake goes to get ready while Gabi remarks to herself that she will be celebrating, getting rid of his lying, double-crossing ass.

Devil Johnny gets ready for the meeting and says it’s time for all hell to break loose at DiMera. Johnny tries to fight off The Devil from inside. The Devil calls Johnny his puppet and tells him to go away as he has work to do. Johnny refuses to let the Devil hurt any more people he loves. Devil Johnny then drops to his knees in pain. The Devil warns him about what happens if he fights him. Johnny says Marlena kicked him out, so he will too. The Devil argues that Marlena and John drove him out with love but he’s not worried about Johnny because he only loves himself enough. Johnny calls that not true. The Devil tells Johnny to go away. He then gets a call from Gabi, who asks if everything is okay. Johnny asks if they are all ready for today. Gabi says she’s more than ready and assures that Jake doesn’t suspect a thing. Johnny tells her to keep it that way because they need his vote. Gabi declares that Jake is going to get what he deserves and she can’t wait to witness it.

Xander tells Sarah that Jack told him everything. Sarah responds that it can’t be him. Xander tells Sarah what a relief it is to see her again as after all this time, he believed that she threw him over on his wedding day and jumped in bed with Rex, but it was never her. Xander is terribly sorry for all she went through in getting kidnapped by Kristen and trapped on an island all this time. Sarah accuses him of being part of the scheme to try to make her think she’s Sarah Horton. Sarah tells Xander to get away from her and stop calling her Sarah. Xander asks if she doesn’t know who he is. Sarah responds that she knows exactly who he is. Sarah questions Xander thinking anyone could forget who he is. Sarah calls him a despicably, lying son of a bitch and says she knows him as Alex and she wants a divorce. Sarah says she fell for his act and was foolish enough to marry him which was the worst mistake she ever made. Xander asks if this is some kind of joke as he doesn’t understand. Sarah tells him that she is Renee DuMonde and she intends to marry the love of her life, Tony DiMera, as soon as he divorces Anna. Sarah says she is going to speak to her lawyer, Don Craig. Sarah tells him not to call her Sarah as she walks off. Xander pulls out his phone and calls Jack, asking him to finish the story he was going to tell him.

Ava tells Gwen that Abigail is back and she knows everything. Gwen points out that there is no case against Ava and they haven’t filed charges, so turning her in will only hurt her. Ava worries that she can be charged as an accessory. Gwen argues that they have no proof. Gwen encourages that Ava has beaten murder charges, so she asks if she’s really afraid of this. Ava responds that she’s tried to build a different life for herself, so she’s not throwing it away or going to prison. Ava adds that Rafe is not on her side anymore. Gwen says she still has her back, as long as Ava has hers.

Kate asks Mr. Shin how many people they are expecting. Mr. Shin goes over EJ being in prison while Tony and Chad took the corporate jet on personal business. Kate argues that Abigail was kidnapped. Mr. Shin says it seems there is always a crisis in the DiMera family. Kate says that Chad and Tony are on their way back, so they can postpone but Shin says he has a flight to Hong Kong at noon, so he can’t push this back. Kate asks why they called this meeting but Mr. Shin says he’s not at liberty to discuss.

Johnny tells Gabi that Jake will never know what him. Gabi quickly finishes and hangs up as Jake comes back in the room. Jake asks what that was about. Gabi says she was just going over plans with Johnny. Jake reveals that he heard her say that he’s going to get what he deserves. Gabi claims that by the end of the day, Jake will be CEO of DiMera Enterprises.

Tony enters the living room of the DiMera Mansion, surprising Johnny who thought that he was out of town. Tony reveals that they found Abigail and got back to town. Tony wants to speak to Johnny about the house but Johnny says he’s in a hurry. Tony guesses he’s having a meeting with his producer which Johnny goes along with. Tony asks how the movie is going. Johnny says it’s great and he’s already working on the sequel. Johnny then hurries out of the mansion.

Kate asks Mr. Shin what’s going on with Gabi and Jake. Mr. Shin says he has not been briefed about the meeting. Gabi and Jake arrive, so Kate questions why she was not told about the meeting. Gabi brings up Kate ousting Jake from the company and not wanting to see her. Jake says they will get started when Johnny arrives. Kate suggests Chad and Tony could join them remotely but Johnny arrives and claims that Tony and Chad have been delayed due to weather. Mr. Shin adds that he can’t postpone the meeting. Gabi says they don’t want to. Johnny assures they can do the meeting without the rest of his family. Johnny says to get the show on the road.

Chad returns home to the DiMera Mansion and tells Tony that Abigail is relieved to be home. Chad mentions that they are both very grateful for his help in tracking her down. Tony is glad everything worked out. Tony assumes Jack and Jennifer are on their way back to Boston which Chad confirms. Tony asks what Chad found out from Ava. Chad says that Ava is still being held for questioning and not giving up the name of her accomplice.

Ava tells Gwen that Chad is never going to let this go, so she asks how Gwen will help her without confessing. Gwen swears not to tell a soul that she helped Kristen escape police custody. Ava asks if she’s threatening her and warns that if she did tell anyone, she’ll tell everyone that Gwen bashed Abigail over the head at the airstrip and that she knew about Sarah being kidnapped. Gwen warns that if Ava does that, she’ll let it be known that Ava set up Rafe on made up charges. Ava asks if they are going there now. Gwen brings up how many hours Melinda spent on that case and how she would feel about the woman who made her look like a complete fool. Gwen asks how Rafe would react to finding out what Ava did. Ava warns her that it would be a mistake to threaten her. Gwen says she’s just pointing out that they both have secrets. Ava argues that she can’t prove a thing. Gwen asks if she’s sure about that. Gwen suggests Ava keep her mouth shut and she will do the same. Gwen then exits the interrogation room.

Jack informs Xander about the drug making Sarah so delusional that she thinks she’s a completely different person. Xander says he will bring her back to reality. Xander thanks Jack and hangs up to go after Sarah. Sarah tells him to leave her alone. Xander tells her that Renee DuMonde was murdered by a serial killer. Sarah asks how he got involved in this scheme. Xander says that Renee has been dead for years. Sarah brings up other people being brought back to life in Salem. Sarah says she only cares about divorcing him and getting Tony away from Anna. Xander wishes he could get through to her and that she could remember how much they love each other. Sarah argues that he’s incapable of love and just wanted her inheritance. Xander says he’s not Alex, he’s Xander, and just wanted to make her happy. Sarah remarks that only Tony can make her happy because her heart will always belong to him. Xander shows her a photo of them on his phone and asks if she remembers it.

Gwen walks outside and asks God if this is her punishment for all the revenge she tried to get and the misery and suffering she’s gone through. Gwen wonders that even if Ava doesn’t rat her out and Sarah comes home, can it get any worse? Ned Grainger then appear and says it can always get worse as he asks if she remembers him.

Tony hopes Chad finds out who was behind this nightmare. Chad assures that he will and they will pay. Chad mentions running in to Anna upstairs and that she seems pretty upset about the whole Sarah/Renee situation. Chad knows it will be rough for awhile since Abigail took months to recover. Tony informs Chad that Sarah took off from the hospital which Chad says is not good. Tony agrees and then reveals that Sarah insisted on moving in which shocks Chad. Tony explains that she would at least be safe here and they can try to get her treated. Chad says no wonder Anna’s head exploded. Tony tells him about how Sarah just barged in. Chad asks where Sarah is now. Tony responds that she’s out there hiring him a divorce lawyer which Chad laughs at, saying it sounds like such a mess. Tony talks about how Renee was a passionate woman but now Sarah is channeling the same DiMera determination. Tony says unfortunately, he seems to be indulging in her delusion to avoid an all out war. Chad comments on how Anna feels. Chad says they have no idea what other drugs Kristen was feeding Sarah, but she’s here now, so maybe being in a familiar place will jog her memory. Tony hopes Sarah gets back to her old self soon.

Xander asks Sarah if the photo looks familiar to her but she says not at all. Xander points out that it’s a picture of them together. Sarah claims to have never seen it before and says the woman in the picture is Sarah Horton, but she is Renee DuMonde.

Mr. Shin starts the shareholders meeting and calls upon Jake to start. Jake says they have two motions; first is to elect Victor to the board of directors which Kate questions, since he’s competition. Johnny explains that the goal is to lull Victor in to a sense of security and then steal Titan from under him. Kate questions it being that easy and asks when the three of them started working together. Johnny says they have common interests. Mr. Shin asks about the second motion. Jake says the second is removing Chad as CEO with Jake replacing him. Kate declares she won’t allow that, so that won’t be happening. Gabi announces that she has two things to offer.

Gwen questions where Ned came from and if he’s been stalking her. Ned admits that he has and points out that Chad and Tony tracked him down, but he left Gwen’s name out of it and he didn’t do it for free so now it’s time for her to pay the price.

Xander questions Sarah not recognizing herself in the picture. Sarah insists it’s not her. Xander brings up that Renee would be about 65 years old if she were still alive. Xander says he can’t believe this. Sarah argues that everyone else needs help, not her. Sarah tells him to get out of her sight because she’s going home to the man she loves, Tony. Xander asks her to please wait.

Chad tells Tony that he could ask Abigail to try to get through to Sarah. Tony acknowledges Abigail going through a similar experience. Chad offers anything they can do to help. Tony thanks him and says he appreciates it. Chad asks if he told the rest of the family yet. Tony says he tried to tell Johnny but he seemed to be in a hurry to meet with his movie producer. Chad decides he should get to the office and hopes he didn’t miss too much while they were gone…

Jake questions Gabi as to what’s going on since he doesn’t remember discussing any amendments. Kate calls this very interesting. Jake asks what this is about. Gabi brings up Jake amending their last plan by going to Mr. Shin about ousting EJ without even talking to her first. Jake thought she trusted him. Gabi says she did and asks if he trusts her. Jake says he does which Kate calls a mistake. Jake asks Gabi why she’s doing this now. Gabi thought it would be more efficient. Gabi suggests instead of adding Victor to the board, they elect Johnny, and propose electing her as CEO of DiMera instead of Jake. Jake gets upset and asks what the hell this is. Jake asks what Gabi is doing. Gabi responds that there’s been a change of plans. Kate remarks that she told him not to trust her. Mr. Shin calls for a vote. Jake says they aren’t ready yet but Gabi says they are. Kate says she’d like Jake to get what he deserves, but she’s not going to let Gabi take Chad’s rightful place at DiMera. Gabi and Johnny responds that they can’t do anything. Kate asks how Johnny could do this to Tony and Chad when they’ve been so good to him. Johnny remarks that he’s a chip off the old block after all. Kate declares that she and Jake won’t be voting. Gabi says she and Johnny will vote while Johnny also has EJ’s shares. Kate asks if Mr. Shin is still on Jake’s side. Jake is surprised to see Kate come to his defense. Kate says it’s what’s right for the company. Kate says now would be a tie unless someone comes in to break the tie which means the status quo stands.

Gwen asks how Ned wants to make her pay. Ned responds that he wants one million dollars or else he will sing to the authorities and Xander. Gwen pleads with him not to say anything. Ned says he won’t if he gets his money. Gwen tells him that she will get him the money, but he will need to do something for her first. Ned argues that she’s in no position to make demands. Gwen explains that she doesn’t have money but Ava has access to the Vitali fortune. Gwen mentions that Ava is at the police department so if Ned can get her out of this mess, she promises to get him his pay day.

Xander tells Sarah that they were going to get married. Sarah pulls away from him. Xander wants to take her to see Maggie. Sarah calls him Alex Marshall. Xander complains that he doesn’t even know who that is. Sarah calls him a two faced bastard and says she never wants to see him again as she storms off. Gwen then walks up and calls out to Xander, asking if he’s alright. Xander informs her that he just saw Sarah.

Kate asks Mr. Shin if he’s voting for Jake since he knows it’s what is right for the company. Devil Johnny uses his power to overcome Mr. Shin, who then votes for Gabi to pass the motion. Kate and Jake can’t believe it while Gabi and Johnny celebrate. Jake questions Mr. Shin, who says that EJ is in prison while Chad and Tony abandoned their posts so it’s time for a change. Jake questions how Gabi could betray him like this. Gabi argues that Jake betrayed her first by going to the board to have Stefan’s shares transferred to his name. Jake says he didn’t do that. Gabi says Johnny showed him the papers. Jake argues that Johnny must have forged it just like he stole Maggie’s phone to text him. Gabi asks how he explains that she heard him telling Maggie that he only cared about the CEO job and that he didn’t care if she got Titan. Jake argues that he never met with Maggie. Gabi says she was there and heard every word. Gabi calls Jake a liar and a loser, so her first move as CEO will be have to security throw him out. Jake says none of this makes any sense. Johnny tells Gabi to get settled in her new office while he takes care of Jake.

Sarah goes to the DiMera Mansion and greets Tony. Tony asks if he can get her anything. Sarah hugs him and says she wants him to divorce Anna. Sarah adds that she tried to find Don Craig but no one has seen or heard from him in 35 years. Sarah says she did schedule an appointment with a lawyer and mentions running into “Alex Marshall”. Sarah adds that she also spoke to the lawyer about evicting Anna but Tony says no. Tony tells her that she can’t evict Anna. Sarah says it’s imperative that she does because she will not spend another night having Anna in bed with the man she loves.

Xander explains to Gwen that Sarah never really dumped him as it wasn’t her on the day of the wedding or the second time as she has been held captive on a deserted island this whole time. Gwen asks if Sarah wants to pick up where they left off. Xander says no which Gwen questions. Xander suggests they go to their room where he will try to explain because it’s kind of a long story.

Ned enters the interrogation room, disguised as a lawyer for Ava. Ava questions what is going on. Ned reveals that Gwen sent him to negotiate a deal with the district attorney and they have an appointment with Melinda shortly, after which Ava will walk out a free woman and suggests she leave by plane. Ned warns that his fees are steep but Gwen says Ava is good for it. Ned asks if he can count on her for payment. Ava confirms that he’s hired.

Chad goes to the DiMera Enterprises office and finds Gabi, who informs him that he is out and she is the new CEO.

Johnny laughs at Jake. Jake doesn’t know how he pulled this off but he knows he was behind it. Johnny mocks his ideas and says Jake can blame him but he just threw everything away. Johnny argues that Jake is powerless and impotent. Johnny tells him to get out before he throws him out. Jake says no, so Johnny threatens to call security. Jake grabs Johnny, who then turns in to the Devil and demands Jake get his hands off of him.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nate: Ashland, hey. How are you?

Ashland: Uh…fine, fine. Good to see you, nate.

[ Chuckles ]

Nate: Glad I ran into you. I was gonna call you. I’ve been thinking a lot about your proposal that I come and work for newman/locke.

Ashland: Really?

Nate: What you said about the difference I could make in the world, using the company’s resources to have an impact on healthcare on a global scale, really excited me.

Ashland: I thought you might find that appealing.

Nate: Of course, we need to discuss the details of the job before I could officially commit, but I’m leaning towards yes.

Ashland: Fantastic. Good to see you, nate. We’ll talk.

[ Clears throat ]

Nate: Is there a problem?

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: Tell me what? What is it that dad is supposed to say to me?

Nick: What do you mean? Dad — dad talked to you. You already know.

Victoria: Do I?

Nick: Look, I didn’t come here to cause you problems, vick. I just wanted to see how you’re doing.

Victoria: Why are you not telling me the truth? That is the one thing that I can always count on with you. No matter what, even if we’re disagreeing, you never lie to me.

Nick: What am I lying about?

Victoria: You didn’t come here to check on me. You are concerned about me for some reason, so tell me — what is it? Alright, then I’m gonna find out for myself.

Nikki: Oh.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Vick, is this necessary?

Victoria: You have all made it necessary by conspiring behind my back.

Nikki: Conspiring?

Victor: I know you’re angry with me, but there’s no reason for you to throw accusations around.

Victoria: Well, then will someone please tell me what’s going on?

Victor: You already know what’s going on. I asked you and ashland to hold off on signing that binding contract that makes both of you co-ceos. Let’s find out how his health is doing, how he’s recovering.

Victoria: I know what you asked me, but now I need to know what you’re keeping from me.

Phyllis: This is it. I mean, this is the address that was mentioned in all those mysterious texts.

Jack: This is keemo’s house.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Yeah, somebody obviously wanted you to come here.

Jack: I didn’t think I’d feel this nervous. I…I don’t know, maybe it’s the unknown and not knowing who or what’s gonna meet me on the other side of that door. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Phyllis: Okay.

Jack: Hello! No one’s home.

Phyllis: Well, it seems that way. Um…

Jack: Well, we can’t —

Phyllis: It’s unlocked.

Jack: Well, no, what — we can’t just walk in.

Phyllis: Well, we didn’t come all this way to stand on the front step.

Jack: We didn’t come all this way to trespass either.

Phyllis: Okay, well, obviously the person who is sending you the texts, they wanted you to come here. They wanted you to walk in.

Jack: Well, there’s some world-class rationalization.

Phyllis: It’s not a rationalization. This is your son’s house. I mean, it — it’s basically — it’s not trespassing.

Jack: No, according to the law, this is trespassing.

Phyllis: No, it’s not. There was no next-of-kin mentioned in the obituary. There was no wife, no —

Jack: No, they didn’t even mention his half-sister and, my god, she’s been out of the country for decades.

Phyllis: Okay. So since nobody else was mentioned, you might be the next-of-kin.

Jack: I don’t know, it just — it just doesn’t feel right.

Phyllis: Jack, we didn’t come all this way for nothing. We need answers. You need answers. This is where we start.

Jack: [ Exhales sharply ] Goal!

Jack: O-okay, let’s do this.

Phyllis: Okay. You first.

Jack: Hello! Hello? Is anyone home?

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Huh. Doesn’t look like anybody’s here and, um, somebody was obviously packing.

Jack: Yeah, the question is who.

Phyllis: A friend?

Jack: God, I would like to think keemo had someone close in his life.

Phyllis: Maybe it’s the person who was sending the texts.

Jack: Doesn’t make sense. We have all these questions, no answers. Someone wanted me to come to los angeles to an empty house to find what? There’s nothing here. And just standing here, I feel like I’m trespassing.

Phyllis: Um…why would you feel that way? Listen, you just said there’s nothing here. It’s not like we’ve uncovered some deep, dark secret.

Jack: I feel like keemo wouldn’t want me here. He made it very clear he wanted no part of me in his life. He wanted nothing to do with a father at all.

Phyllis: Maybe you can think of this as a way to reconnect with him in some way?

Jack: That’s the thing — keemo died not wanting to reconnect with me.

Ashland: I’m sorry, nate, and please don’t read anything into my mood at the moment. Huh?

Nate: Is everything alright?

Ashland: Yes, everything’s absolutely fine, and I’m no less enthusiastic about the possibility of you joining us at newman/locke than I was the day I made the offer. I’m thrilled that you’re actually considering it.

Nate: I’m glad.

Ashland: We need to have a significant conversation about this. The problem is I’m late for an appointment, and that’s why I’m a little distracted right now, so how about if we plan on some dinner sometime this week? How’s that?

Nate: I’d like that, but are you sure you’re okay? You seem frazzled, and don’t take this the wrong way, but you look a little unwell.

Ashland: Don’t worry about me, I’m fine.

Nate: Yeah? You don’t sound fine. What’s going on?

Ashland: Nothing. It’s — I’m fine.

Nate: Okay, look, I don’t mean to pry, but I’m concerned.

Ashland: Seriously, it’s — it’s just…

[ Sighs ] Okay, okay. I — it’s stupid of me to try to fool you. I, um…I’m not feeling 100%.

Nate: What’s going on?

Ashland: The old symptoms — fatigue, occasional shortness of breath — they’ve come back. And it’s made me a little nervous.

Victoria: Nicholas assumed that dad had told me something, but when I asked what that something might be, he wasn’t very forthcoming.

Nick: I was just trying to explain —

Victoria: I think that maybe you were trying to cover something up. So tell me, dad, what is this about? Is this really about ashland becoming co-ceo or is there something else, given that you seem to be spying on us lately?

Victor: I don’t need to spy. My name is on this damn building.

Nick: Look, vick, you’re making a big deal out of this. It’s nothing. I thought dad had talked to you about not signing the co-ceo contract, but then I saw you react so I couldn’t be sure. That’s it.

Victoria: Nicholas, you don’t have any business knowing that information. You don’t even work here.

Nick: Well, I’m your brother, and I care about you. That means I care about how everything in this building affects you.

Nikki: We all care, darling. Nicholas is just looking after you.

Victor: Just as I do when i ask you to hold off on signing the damn contract. It’s better for you and ashland.

Victoria: Why?

Victor: What do you mean “why”? He just left to go home in the middle of the day to rest.

Victoria: [ Scoffs ] So what?

Victor: That’s why I believe he’s not 100%. I think you should leave the story of your positions and titles alone for now.

Victoria: For how long?

Victor: Until we find out how his health is doing. You’ve been running this company by yourself and done a damn good job.

Victoria: Ashland’s increased presence at newman/locke will only strengthen it.

Victor: You’ve assembled a very good team with him and your mother as coo. Why change that?

Victoria: I know there’s something else going on here. It’s just that none of you are willing to admit it. So until somebody wants to come clean and tell me, this conversation is over. And now I’m gonna go home and check on my husband, who’s feeling under the weather, and that’s all. And I’m telling you for the last time — stay out of my business and leave me and ashland alone. When I get a migraine,

Phyllis: Listen, I can’t possibly understand what you’re going through. I’m sure it’s just a swirl of emotions, but I just want you to know I’m here for you. Take all the time you need.

Jack: Thank you for that.

Phyllis: But I’m not gonna let you second-guess yourself, jack. I mean, you could’ve blown off those texts, and you didn’T. This is a journey you wanted to take, and…I’m here with you. It’s a way to reconnect with your son in some way.

Jack: Yeah, a little late for that, huh?

Phyllis: I don’t think it is. I mean, you can find out the man he became, the man you didn’t know. Hey, at least we could find out who’s been texting you.

Jack: That — that i definitely want to know.

Phyllis: Yes, and you deserve to know that.

Jack: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: So we are not leaving. We’re getting some answers. We didn’t fly all the way here to spend the night in a hotel room and then leave the next morning. Let’s dig in and get the answers.

Jack: Yeah, if I left now, it — it would just haunt me. I want to know who reached out to me. More than that, I want to know something about keemo’s life. I…I want to know that the world he built for himself had some happiness in it, even if it didn’t include me.

Nick: So let me get this straight — victoria wants to make ashland her co-ceo.

Victor: His idea.

Nick: This guy’s unbelievable.

Victor: He is inching closer and closer to wanting to take over the whole damn thing.

Nikki: Allegedly.

Nick: Mom, don’t give him the benefit of the doubt. I mean, he’s lying about being sick, about getting some miraculous cure all so he can get his hands on the company.

Nikki: I am just saying, there may be other information that we don’t have.

Nick: We have enough.

Nikki: Alright, I admit, things aren’t looking good for ashland, and I advised victoria to not sign the contract.

Nick: Obviously, she didn’t listen. And clearly you haven’t told her that he’s lying about being sick.

Victor: I will not tell her anything unless there’s no other option left.

Nick: I’m just not comfortable keeping these secrets from victoria while you figure out how you’re gonna deal with ashland in whatever covert way you settle on.

Victor: I will take care of things.

Nick: I don’t doubt that, dad. But you don’t know how it’s gonna play out. Victoria’s already furious at us.

Victor: Too bad that she’s furious. Beats the alternative — that guy taking over our family’s business.

Nick: This is exactly why i wanted to just stay out of it. But I can’t turn my back on victoria, and I got to make sure that ashland gets everything he deserves.

Victor: Son, I told you, i will take care of everything.

Nick: I hope you’re right.

Nate: How often are you experiencing these symptoms?

Ashland: Not frequently.

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

Ashland: Couple times a week, maybe a little tired, a little light-headed, but it’s manageable.

Nate: Yeah, it’s manageable now, but what if it gets worse?

Ashland: [ Stammers ] Maybe it’s just a bug.

Nate: A bug, that’s your diagnosis?

Ashland: Okay.

[ Chuckles ] I don’t have your medical expertise, but I don’t really think there’s any reason to jump to the worst possible conclusion.

Nate: There’s every reason in the world to do that. You’re not in the position to take chances. You need to see your oncologist, have some tests run.

Ashland: I’ve already made that call. In fact, that’s the appointment I was talking about earlier. That — I’m on my way there now.

Nate: What are you waiting for? Go.

Ashland: You — I was going, and you stopped me, and now we’re talking.

[ Laughs ]

Nate: Would you like me to come along? You know, just for support. It might help to have a friend in the room who happens to be a doctor.

Ashland: No, that’s not necessary, but I really do appreciate the hell out of it. You are a good man, nate. I’ll tell you what. I will call you and tell you what happens at the appointment, and we’ll set up the dinner for later in the week because we need to talk about your future.

Nate: I look forward to that.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone rings ]

Victoria: Hey. I just stopped by the house to check on you, but you weren’t there. Where did you go? I’m at crimson lights, and I’m getting ready to head back to the office, but I want you to call me, ashland. I’m a little bit worried about you. Hello, how can I?

Nikki: I think nicholas is right to be concerned. When you confronted ashland and demanded that he leave town, he didn’t blink. He didn’t confess. He didn’t have any remorse at all.

Victor: He’ll be gone soon enough.

Nikki: Well, he didn’t agree to leave.

Victor: He will if he knows what’s best for him.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] Victor, you have him trapped in a corner. And that’s when men like ashland are most dangerous. I mean, you know how he is. He — he won’t back down from a fight, same as you. And he’s desperate. I just worry that you have less of a handle on this situation than you think you do.

Victor: If he tries anything, I will show him no mercy.

Sharon: Well, hey, victoria. What can I get you?

Victoria: Coffee to go, please.

Sharon: Okay. Is everything alright?

Victoria: Yes, everything’s fine. I’m just busy. Has ashland stopped in here today?

Sharon: No, I haven’t seen him. Why? You seem worried.

Victoria: Well, maybe I am a little bit. He said that he wasn’t feeling well, and I thought that he went home to rest, but when I went to the house to check on him, he wasn’t there. I guess I ought to know by now that he’s not one to sit around doing nothing, even though he should.

Sharon: Yeah, some people don’t know when to stop. But I hope he’ll take care of himself.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Yes, me too.

Sharon: You know, if I see him, I’ll tell him that you’re looking for him, and then I’ll tell him to go straight home and rest.

Victoria: Thank you, sharon.

Nick: Hey. Can we talk?

Victoria: I was just leaving.

Nick: Just one minute.

Victoria: Okay, fine, one minute.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Look, I don’t like the way things unfolded at the office. I do not want to get caught up in the middle of something with you, dad, and ashland.

Victoria: It seems that you know more about what’s going on than I do, and you just don’t want to say anything to me.

Nick: I just — I need you to know that my only concern is you and that you can rely on me for anything. We haven’t been the same since your wedding, and I hate that. But don’t shut me out, alright? Can you meet me halfway on this?

Phyllis: Wow. Well, the rest of the house is as empty as this room.

Jack: Is this the room he spent most of his time in? Think he woke up early for california sunrise? Was there — was there laughter and music and raucous joy in this house or was this a quiet, contemplative space? I… that’s the hard part. I’m trying to piece together the life of someone that was very important to me, who I don’t — I don’t feel like I knew at all.

Phyllis: For what it’s worth, I think you’re doing a great job.

Jack: I should know so much more. I’m sorry, I… was this his favorite place to sit? Was this…was this where he’d read a book or where he’d write or… oh, my god.

Phyllis: What is it?

Jack: Oh, my god.

Phyllis: What?

Jack: These are letters to me. They all have the same return address — keemo nguyen, at this address. There’s no stamp. These were letters to me that he never sent.

Phyllis: I mean, it seems like he wanted to reach out to you. Listen, um…this is the only box in the place, so obviously it was left here for you.

Jack: Apparently.

Phyllis: Listen, um…I’m gonna leave you alone with this, okay? I saw a coffee shop down the way, and I’ll just — and you can give me a call.

Jack: No, no, no, no. I don’t want to be alone. Would you stay? I’d like you to be here with me.

Phyllis: Of course.

Covid-19 moves fast,

“The young and the restless”

Victoria: I thought that we were getting back to normal, nicholas. And I really don’t want to lose the progress that we’ve made either, but after what happened today, it’s kind of hard to believe that you’re on my side.

Nick: I am, always.

Victoria: I still know that you don’t like or respect ashland, and it breaks my heart.

Nick: I’m trying. Alright? I’m really trying. Can you accept that?

Victoria: That’s all I want is for my family to accept ashland and to just respect my relationship with him and stop trying to undermine my happiness.

Ashland: What is going on here?

Victoria: Hi.

Ashland: [ Laughs ] Hello, sweetheart. I got your message that you were here. Hello, nick.

Nick: Ashland.

Ashland: Um, I couldn’t help but overhear what you were saying, and I just want to go on the record that victoria speaks for me as well. We both want the same thing. For you to see how much I love her and care about her and that I would do anything to make her happy.

Jack: He signs all of them with his birth name — “keemo.” Not hao. And he’s clearly working through all these conflicting feelings about me. I don’t think he ever intended to mail any of these. I think this was purely therapeutic.

Phyllis: I mean, I don’t want to pry, but if you want to share any of them, I’m happy to listen.

Jack: Yeah, let me show you something. “I said I’d forgiven you, and i tried to let everything that happened go, but after I left genoa city, something inside me could not let me be at peace.”

Phyllis: Okay. Does it make you feel better that he was conflicted?

Jack: Yeah, maybe a little. Here. Um… alright. “I want you to know that I’m sorry about those angry e-mails I sent. I became consumed by grief and rage I felt over the time I lost with my mother. I wonder how different things would’ve been if I’d known she was dying.” Luan didn’t want anyone to know that she was ill. She didn’t want to burden anyone. I… she didn’t tell me. I found out by accident. Kept it to myself.

Phyllis: Listen, that must’ve been very difficult for you to keep that from everybody, including her.

Jack: Yeah, I didn’t tell keemo because I thought I was honoring his mother’s wishes, and…our son could not, would not accept that.

Phyllis: Well, that was very difficult for you, I’m sure, keeping that secret. You know, and I’m sure that you thought maybe, with time, keemo would get past it.

Jack: NO.

[ Chuckles ] He…he kind of did. Is this it? Yeah. “I finally found some peace. I changed my name to hao nguyen. It was my maternal grandfather’s name. Now I’m honoring my mother’s memory. I am freed from the conflict of being jack abbott’s son. I feel like I’m on a new path.”

Phyllis: You’re a wonderful man. You are. And you’re an incredible father. You would’ve been an amazing father to keemo if he would have let you.

Jack: Well, it seemed he found a way to move on.

Phyllis: Did he really? Did he move on? Or did he just let this fester?

Jack: Is this the one? Yeah. “I’m no longer angry, but i can’t look back for fear that rage will return. So while I’ve forgiven you, i can’t ever have a relationship with you. It’s better for everyone. I hope that you can understand that and forgive me. Your son, keemo.”

Phyllis: Jack, you’re being very selfless. The path that keemo chose, it was good for him, it was not good for you.

Jack: No, it was not.

Phyllis: No.

Jack: I hate that he never felt comfortable enough to reach out to me, to respond to my correspondences. I’M… I’m glad at least he found some forgiveness in his heart at the very end.

Phyllis: How do you know it was the end?

Jack: Well, I — every one of these letters was written in the last 12 months. It’s as if he knew he didn’t have much longer.

Phyllis: Well, the obituary said that he died of a heart attack.

Jack: Yeah, and I know and that’s very sudden, but maybe he was diagnosed with some kind of condition, and…and that’s why he was working through all of this. Maybe, was this — was this about a health condition? Oh, god, there are so many questions.

Phyllis: And we’re gonna get the answers. We are. I promise you.

Victor: There, my darling.

Nikki: Oh, nate! How are you?

Nate: Excellent. Always good to see the two of you.

Nikki: Well, thank you. You as well.

Victor: You’ll be seeing more of dr. Hastings at newman towers.

Nikki: Oh?

Nate: I’m considering taking a job with newman/locke.

Nikki: You would really leave medicine?

Nate: Sometimes need to make a change to keep things interesting.

Nikki: Oh, well, it can get very interesting at newman/locke. But as the person in charge of operations, I’d prefer it didn’T. I — I like smooth sailing.

Nate: I promise not to rock that boat.

Nikki: Huh, wow. Well, I guess memorial’s loss is our gain. I hope I get to welcome you to the team.

Nate: Me too.

Victor: You mean the deal is not done yet?

Nate: No, I still have to hash things out with ashland. I saw him earlier, and we were trying to set up a time to talk things through.

Victor: You saw ashland today?

Nate: He was just here.

Victor: Oh. Huh.

Nikki: Um, how did he seem?

Nate: What do you mean?

Nikki: Oh, I don’t know, just physically, did he seem okay?

Nate: Last time we spoke, you were asking me about his condition.

Victor: Dr. Hastings, ashland is now a member of our family, you know. We’re concerned about him. And when we saw him earlier, he had a hard time breathing, so you didn’t see anything wrong with him?

Ashland: You don’t need to worry about victoria, especially where I’m concerned. And besides, she does not need protecting.

Nick: [ Clears throat ] That is good to know.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] You know, I think it would mean a lot to her if she knew you were on her side.

Victoria: I was just telling him that.

Nick: I’m always on her side.

Victoria: I want to believe that.

Nick: You should. It’s true.

Ashland: Well, that’s fantastic. I just want victoria to have anything her heart desires, so how about this, nick? Why don’t we all just work together, hmm?

Sharon: Ashland, nice to see you.

Ashland: Ah.

Sharon: I made your favorite. I’m sorry to interrupt, but i have some news about mariah and tessa I want to talk to you about. If you don’t mind that I steal him for a minute.

Ashland: No.

Nick: We’ll talk later. Hey, thanks for the coffee. I don’t remember ordering it.

Sharon: You didn’T. I just thought you needed it.

Nick: Okay, what’s going on with tessa and mariah?

Sharon: They have decided on a wedding idea, but that was just an excuse.

Nick: Excuse for what?

Sharon: I just really wanted to get you away from ashland. Nick, I’ve known you a long time, and I know that you were a split second away from doing something you would regret. You can’t go back in there.

Everyone remembers the

moment they heard,

Phyllis: The backyard is extraordinary. It’s gorgeous. There’s a garden and an orange tree, so many flowers. You want to go back there?

Jack: You know, I think we should leave.

Phyllis: Oh. I don’t think so. Look, there are so many more letters to go through.

Jack: You know what? It’s — it’s kind of overwhelming.

Phyllis: I’m sure it is. You can’t stop now.

Jack: You try to make the right choices, you…try to make the world a better place, you try to help, and you look back and all you can see…

[ Sighs ]

Phyllis: What is this?

Jack: What? What is it?

Phyllis: It’s a picture of keemo with two women and a young girl.

Jack: He looks so happy.

Phyllis: There’s something written on the back.

Jack: “Vietnam, june 2012.”

Nick: I was this close to losing it with ashland. You know, telling him what i think about him and all the lies he’s told. But it would’ve been a disaster. Thanks for interrupting.

Sharon: And you would’ve made a scene in my coffee house, and I can’t let that happen.

Nick: It would’ve just come back to bite me. I mean, ashland would’ve denied it, vick would’ve sided with him. She’s already on the defensive.

Sharon: Why do you say that?

Nick: I went to check on her earlier and kind of created this accidental minefield with her and the parents, but, uh… it’s okay ’cause dad has a plan.

Sharon: Of course he does.

Nick: I don’t know any of the details, but dad seems to think he can get ashland out of our lives for good without victoria ever knowing the truth.

Sharon: I’m just worried about the fallout from all of this. It’s gonna take a toll on your whole family. I’m so sorry this is happening.

Nick: Thanks. I really appreciate you pulling me away from that, and knowing that you are always there for me.

Sharon: Anytime.

Nate: Victor, you know how i feel about disclosing medical information.

Victor: Nate, you made your stance clear last time we talked.

Nate: So you can see why I’d be reluctant to give an opinion about ashland’s health.

Victor: But I’m not asking for test results. I just want to know if you thought he looked healthy.

Nate: He did seem a bit under the weather, but that could be stress or just a common cold. It’s best not to presume anything.

Nikki: You’re right, of course.

Victor: Thank you for stopping by.

Nate: Bye.

Nikki: Bye, nate.

Victor: What do you think?

Nikki: [ Sighs ] You mean the fact that ashland came here instead of going home like he said he would?

Victor: It was a lie.

Nikki: I know you think he’s lying about everything.

Victor: Because he is.

Nikki: Maybe he just wanted to stop and pick up some food on the way home. Maybe he wasn’t acting at all. Maybe he just isn’t feeling well.

Victor: Sweetheart, that’s the least likely of all possibilities, alright?

Nikki: I don’t know. I’m still struggling with the idea that he lied about his condition.

Victor: And I understand how you’d want to think that way, for victoria’s sake. I’m telling you he has deceived our daughter in the most profound way.

Nikki: What if the information that michael got in peru is wrong? I mean, maybe those doctors just said what they thought you wanted to hear in the hopes of a big payout.

Victor: Sweetheart, how long has michael baldwin been my lawyer? I trust that man.

Nikki: I understand that. I am just saying that we need to really be certain about this situation because the stakes are too high. So before you do anything, we need more information.

Ashland: I hope we were able to get through to nick.

Victoria: Time will tell. Right now, I’m still a little bit more concerned about you. If you’re not feeling well, you shouldn’t be out, you should be at home in bed.

Ashland: No, I’m — really, I’m much better now.

Victoria: Well, I’m still worried about you, and I hope that my father’s interference in our plans didn’t contribute to how you’re feeling.

Ashland: It was just a momentary thing. I’m fine.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Good. And I want you to know that I am still 100% committed to moving forward with the co-ceo arrangement. Have you signed the contract yet?

Ashland: Not yet. Um…

Victoria: Why not?

Ashland: Oh. Sorry. Mm, okay. Um, I’m sorry, where were we?

Victoria: I asked you if you had a chance to sign the contract.

Ashland: Right. Uh…no. Victoria…there’s something I need to tell you about your father.

Proofread by Anita

Sasha: [ Breathes sharply ]

Brando: Morning.

Sasha: Good morning. Mm, did I oversleep?

Brando: Mnh-mnh. There’s no such thing on vacation. You can go back to sleep if you want. We can have coffee later.

Sasha: Thanks, but I need to wake up. Mmm! That is good.

Brando: Mm-hmm. Making coffee is one of my many skills.

Sasha: The others being?

Brando: We have an entire vacation for you to find out.

Sasha: I can’t wait.

Brando: Well, we have a lot to celebrate. [ Sighs ] Maxie is finally home safe. Peter August is gone. And we get to spend time together. Just the two of us. This is exactly what we both need.


Professor Khan: Read chapter 8 for the next class. Be ready to discuss. See you next week. Uh, Ms. Robinson, a moment of your time. You seemed, uh, pretty silent in class today. Are you alright? That’s not like you.

Trina: Uh. There’s just been a lot on my mind.

Professor Khan: I know freshman year can be overwhelming, but you seem to be handling it well. You’re one of my few “a” students this semester.

Trina: Thanks.

Professor Khan: But remember — class participation is a third of your grade, and I’d hate to see you get lost in the shuffle.


Josslyn: Thanks for walking to class early with me. I know you have a lot going on at home.

Cameron: Doesn’t mean I can’t be there for you. Things still weird between you and Trina?

Josslyn: We’re roommates, and we barely see each other. A lot of that’s on me. I mean, between practice and team meetings, I’m really busy. But Trina only comes back to the room to sleep. She’s not returning any of my texts or my calls.

Cameron: Things have been weird since the cabin with Esme and Spencer.

Josslyn: They’ve only gotten worse since. And it’s all thanks to Esme.


Esme: Happy belated birthday.

Spencer: Are you crazy? You’ll get me in trouble.

Esme: Lighten up, boyfriend. I know you spent your birthday in here alone last night. That kiss is my present.

Spencer: And if the wrong guard sees you, it blows back on me.

Esme: I’m sorry to have bothered you. Lucky for you, I’m leaving. Class calls.

Spencer: Fine. See you around.

Esme:  Someone woke up on the wrong side of his prison cot this morning. What’s with the mood?


Sam: Hmm. I guess a day of hatchet throwing didn’t cheer you up.

Carly: It did. And you and Olivia were right. I definitely needed to blow off some steam. I’m sad today.

Sam: Why?

Carly: Been thinking about Courtney. Today’s the anniversary of her death.


Sonny: Hey, Courtney. It’s hard to believe how much time has passed since you left us. Your son is a full-grown man getting himself in trouble. I couldn’t make it last year because — well, I’m sure you know what happened. I like to think that you’re always watching out for me. But I just want to let you know that I’ve been thinking about you. And you’re still in my heart.

Nikolas: Mine too.


Ava: [ Chuckles ] I haven’t seen you in a while, Victor. Nikolas is joining me for brunch. If you’d like to join us, that’s fine.

Victor: Oh, uh, unfortunately, I-I can’t stay. I have some business I have to attend to.

Ava: Oh. Well, you — you’ve been keeping yourself scarce since — since Valentine’s Day.

Laura: Keeping a low profile. Trying to avoid being implicated in an ongoing investigation. That sounds right, doesn’t it?


Anna: Thank you so much for meeting me. Oh, I didn’t realize it was gonna be so cold out here.

Drew: Ooh. Too bad we weren’t in port Charles during the heat wave.

Anna: [ Chuckles ] I just wanted to talk to you in private.

Drew: Yeah. Your message sounded pretty urgent. What’s going on?

Anna: I just have this feeling that we’re headed for danger, and at the center of it all is Victor. And you.


Sonny: I didn’t expect to see you here.

Nikolas: Courtney was important to me, too.

Sonny: Yeah.

Nikolas: I loved her.

Sonny: Um, was it worth it, Nikolas? Breaking up your marriage to Emily and Jax’s to my sister for an affair? I’m just curious.

Nikolas: I loved Courtney. I was gonna marry her.

Sonny: So, if Courtney were still alive, you think you’d still be together?

Nikolas: I’d like to think so. In truth, I don’t know.

Sonny: Well, at least you’re honest. [ Laughs ]

Nikolas: I do know this, though. You know, Courtney, she’s always gonna be the mother of my son.

Sonny: Mm-hmm.

Nikolas: Nothing’s gonna change that. It’s just like Carly. She’s always gonna be the mother of your children.


Carly: You know, the Metro Court is named after her.

Sam: Yeah, I do know.

Carly: Wow. Courtney and I were really close. You know, and with Jax out of town and Spencer and Josslyn on the outs and my impending divorce from Sonny, I just feel like all my connections to Courtney are slipping away. And you don’t need to hear this. [ Laughs ]

Sam: [ Chuckles ] No, it’s — it’s true, though. No, Courtney and I were not the best of friends, but maybe if she would have lived, we would have become friends. I mean, if Elizabeth Baldwin and I can become friends, anything’s possible.

Carly: Hell sure did freeze over there.

[ Both laugh ]

Sam: Who knows? Maybe Courtney and I would’ve been able to bury the hatchet. Or throw a hatchet at a wall instead of each other. [ Chuckles ]


Victor: I’m sorry, Mayor Collins, but I have no idea what you’re referring to.

Laura: I don’t think it’s coincidence that Victor resurfaced at the same time Luke died and the Ice Princess was stolen. It’s all connected. Luke’s death was not an accident. And Victor was behind it.

Laura: There have been a lot of suspicious activities in Port Charles recently.

Victor: Is this your way of accusing me of helping Peter August escape? Because if so, I categorically deny having anything to do with it. Peter August was a blight on this city, and all of us are better off without him.

Laura: Well, you can deny it all you want. If you were involved in it, there will be a way to prove it.

Victor: I’ll take that as my cue to leave, shall I? Ava.

Ava: Mm.

Victor: It’s a pleasure, as always. Madame Mayor.

Ava: Well, that was fun. Do you want to tell me what’s going on between you and Victor?


Drew: So, I’ve been working under the same assumption — right? — That Victor is dangerous and that his agenda did not die with Peter. How did — how did you get there?

Anna: Liesl bugged Victor, and she overheard a conversation he had with you and Sam.

Drew: At the docks.

Anna: Yeah.

Drew: Yeah, Sam and I were convinced that Victor was trying to activate my old conditioning.

Anna: Exactly.

Drew: Does Valentin know about this? Did you mention this to him? Because we shared a cell in Crete for a little bit, and he seemed to have such solid insights into Victor.

Anna: Valentin’s out of commission right now. He was, um — he was abducted.

Drew: What?

Anna: Right before Peter escaped. And he turned up in an alley. He was drugged, disoriented, and he was still recovering from the gunshot wound in Crete. And, you know, he developed an infection. He’s at a clinic out of town, but he’s making progress. He’ll be home soon.

Drew: Well, good. I’m glad to hear that. Make sure you send him my regards next time you talk to him, okay?

Anna: Yes, yes. My wish is that we — we expose Victor and whatever his crimes are before Valentin comes home.

Drew: That is a tall order. I mean, we’re gonna have to move very quickly.

Anna: See, I just feel that Victor is going to exploit the father-son relationship and manipulate Valentin the same way that he’s co-opting the rest of his family.


Spencer: Sorry, I didn’t mean to take my anger out on you. Forgive me.

Esme: I get it. Spring Ridge may be minimum security, but it’s still a prison and you’re still incarcerated.

Spencer: It’s more than that. [ Voice breaking ] Today’s the anniversary of my mother’s death.   [ Crying, sniffles ] And even though I never knew her… I still feel that we have a connection. Every year, I made sure that there were flowers on her grave. And I’ve never missed a year…until now.

Esme: Hey. Your mother understands, Spence.

Spencer: It’s not about her understanding. It is about letting the world know that I remember her… …because my mother lives on as long as I keep up these little traditions. When I was talking to Trina about how she felt after she thought that her father had died, she said that she felt the same way.


Josslyn: I hate that there’s tension between me and Trina. All I did was call Esme out for playing mind games with her.

Cameron: And I’m sure you were very nice and polite.

Josslyn: Hey, my mom taught me that you can’t just ignore an Esme and hope that they go away. They’re like sharks looking for blood. So, the best way to deal with them is to punch them in the nose and hope they retreat.

Cameron: I believe the expression is to bop them on the nose.

Josslyn: Oh. It’s not how I do it. Trina. Uh, how brutal was Khan’s class?

Trina: Uh, lots of participation required today, so be prepared to be called on more than usual.

Josslyn: Hey, wait. Are you still mad at me for what happened with Esme the other day?


Esme: That’s a beautiful sentiment, but you don’t only need to keep your mother’s memory alive on the anniversary of her passing. I mean, you can visit her grave anytime you want and leave out flowers for her when you get out, which won’t be that long.

Spencer: True.

Esme: Besides, you were in boarding school for years. What did you do those times?

Spencer: Alfred and Ross left flowers on her grave for me.

Esme: Well, there you go. You can do that again. Or… I’d be more than honored to leave flowers for your mother.

Spencer: That’s not the point. The point is… …that I finally am here [Chuckles] In Port Charles, and that I should be able to do this for her, but I can’t! Because of the choices… …that I made. That I made.

Esme: I was only trying to help.

Spencer: But you don’t understand.

Esme: But Trina would?


Brando: You know… it is too bad we spent most of the night talking.

Sasha: You could have made a move.

Brando: Mm. Well, I was waiting for a signal from you. I didn’t want to pressure you.

Sasha: Anyone ever tell you what a great guy you are?

Brando: [ Sighs ] A great guy? That’s what you say to someone you want to put in the friend zone.

Sasha: Not in this case.

Brando: I missed you. I missed us.

Sasha: Did we have plans in town?

Brando: Um, lunch reservations, um, tickets to Maid of the Mist. Um. Or we could just hang out here.


Sonny: Carly and I may not be together, but she’s still a great mother to Michael, Josslyn, Donna, and Avery.

Nikolas: Ava is Avery’s mother, not Carly.

Sonny: I’m not here to argue with you, Nikolas. Especially in front of my sister’s grave. I’m just saying she would have been an amazing mother to Spencer if she had lived.

Nikolas: Courtney had a kind soul.

Sonny: Yeah.

Nikolas: She was patient as a saint.

Sonny: And you know what? I would have loved for Spencer to get to know her.

Nikolas: She would have had a good influence on him. She might have even negated the mistakes I made while raising him. Now you tell me I’m wrong, that I did the best that I could with Spencer.

Sonny: I wish I could do that if — if I believed it, but I’m not gonna lie.


Trina: Joss, I’m not mad at you.

Josslyn: Just too busy to respond to my calls or my texts?

Trina: Okay, maybe I’m a little annoyed. You made me collateral damage when you got up all in Esme’s face.

Josslyn: Oh, Trina, come on. You know that apology was as fake as she is. All I did was call her out on it.

Trina: And then you told her something I told you in confidence.

Josslyn: Look, I said I was sorry for that. I did. But obviously you don’t believe me.

Trina: I do. I just need a little bit of time to process. You put me in the middle of your war with Esme.

Josslyn: But Esme wasn’t coming for me. She was coming for you. Trina, the whole thing was a setup, start to finish. I mean, Esme texts you that she wants to meet up, she shows up to apologize, she gives you some saccharine speech about how she made a mistake and wants to be friends. Look, I admit that I lost my temper. And the thing about Spencer giving you that book, it just slipped out.

Cameron: Spencer gave you a book?

Trina: He asked his grandmother to give it to me, and I happened to get it on Valentine’s Day. But it was not a Valentine’s gift. It was just a gift. And what part of keeping a confidence don’t you understand?

Josslyn: Cam cares about you, Trina. Unlike Esme. I’m sorry for betraying your trust, but I’m not gonna apologize for defending my friends.


Esme: [ Voice breaking ] So only Trina understands what it’s like for you to lose your mother?

Spencer: Hey —

Esme: She hasn’t experienced real loss. Her father isn’t even dead.

Spencer: I’m sorry. Hey, that was a stupid thing to say. It’s just that you never really talk about your parents.

Esme: I don’t like talking about them.

Spencer: I get it. But I forget sometimes. Hey, I promise to do better. It’s not gonna happen again.

Esme: And what about the gift you got Trina?

Spencer: I get all my friends thank you gifts. It’s a lot easier than sending handwritten cards.

Esme: And it’s a coincidence that your grandmother just happens to give your gift to Trina on Valentine’s Day.

Spencer: It was. Esme, hey, you have to believe me.

Victor: Spencer, my boy, my apologies for not visiting you on your birthday. Oh, I’m sorry. Would, uh — would you like me to come back another time?


Laura: What do you think’s going on, Ava?

Ava: I think Victor helped Peter August escape from that prison van that was taking him to Pentonville, and then I think he somehow managed to smuggle him out of the country. And I think you think the same thing.

Laura: Does it matter now? I mean, Peter’s dead.

Ava: But this isn’t about Peter, really, is it? It’s about dear uncle Victor. And for you, that’s very, very personal.

Laura: [ Chuckles ] You can think whatever you like, Ava. Actually, you know, I-I came to meet Sam.

Ava: Don’t you trust me?

Laura: I was watching you earlier with Victor, and it looked kind of close to me.

Ava: [ Breathes sharply ] Well, you know, keep your enemies closer and all that. I trust Victor as much as you do.


Drew: Victor co-opting his family is one thing, but what use does he have for me?

Anna: The working theory is that Peter was stringing Victor along.

Drew: Right, Peter was gonna give Victor the means to my conditioning to activate it. But I still — I don’t get it. I don’t understand why. I mean, what use does he have for an ex-Navy Seal to do his dirty work? He’s got plenty of ex-military on his payroll.

Anna: Don’t you think it’s possible that Victor thinks you know something — or, rather, that you did?


Laura: I think that Victor is planning something that could spell trouble for all of us.

Ava: Well, he has made some cryptic comments about his plans.

Laura: And Spencer now just idolizes his great-uncle, and it seems like Nikolas is warming up to him, too. So, I feel like I can’t say anything negative because they’d both defend him, and then that would just drive them closer to Victor.

Ava: Well, I know that Nikolas does have his guard up. But I think you’re right, and Victor is making some progress there. And Spencer we know is already firmly in Victor’s camp.

Laura: But you, Ava, you’re smarter than that.


Nikolas: [ sighs ] Walked right into that one, didn’t I?

Sonny: You’ve made a lot of mistakes, mistakes that have changed Spencer’s life, shaped his character. You can’t change that.

Nikolas: Yeah, what do you want me to do, Sonny? Own up to my decisions, my past?

Sonny: That would be a start, now, wouldn’t it? Move forward with the people you love. Don’t run away from your mistakes. ‘Cause when you do that, it makes your pain worse.


Sam: I guess we’re all starting new chapters.

Carly: So, things are good with you and Dante?

Sam: I don’t want to jinx it, but, yeah, things are going pretty good.

Carly: That’s great. What about Drew?

Sam: Yeah [Sighs] That’s definitely…over. We just realized that we’d be better off as co-parents and friends. Why do you ask?

Carly: I don’t know. He’s been really supportive while I’ve been going through everything with Sonny and the divorce. And so, I don’t know, I was trying to look out for him the way he’s been looking out for me.


Ava: I’m listening.

Laura: Victor is trying to make nice right now with Nikolas, which means he’s going to do the same with you.

Ava: Hmm. 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?

Laura: If you’d like.

Ava: And I’m guessing that you don’t want me to tell my husband about this arrangement.

Laura: You know, Ava, we dealt with that situation with Ryan together. I wouldn’t ask for your help if it wasn’t serious.

Ava: And I’m sure I’ll know if Victor says something relevant.

Laura: I’m sure you will. I have every confidence in you. Thank you.


Carly: I was ready to lose my mind the night that I walked in on Sonny and Nina at the haunted star.

Sam: Oh.

Carly: And I ran into Drew right after, and, um [Chuckles] Well, he let me vent. And he didn’t try and fix me. He didn’t try and stop me or make it better. He just let me talk.

Laura: Sam, sorry I’m late. I got a little sidetracked. Hi, Carly.

Carly: Hi.

Sam: Oh, n-not a problem. Um, it was really nice talking to you.

Carly: It was nice talking to you, too.

Sam: What was so important that you couldn’t talk to me on the phone about it?

Laura: It is about Victor’s associate.

Sam: Johann?

Laura: Some new details have come to light, and I thought you should know about them, considering it involves Drew.


Esme: As always, a pleasure, Uncle Victor. I-I wish I could stay and chat, but I need to bounce. Um, class calls. Hey. Bye, spence.

Spencer: Bye.


Esme: Time to get this done.


Victor: So, what was that all about?

Spencer: [ Sighs ] My fault. I-I took my frustration at being stuck in here out on Esme. She didn’t deserve it.

Victor: Mm. Ah, you take after your grandfather. He always had a much shorter fuse than the rest of the family.

Spencer: Hm.

Victor: So, what exactly lit this particular powder keg, hm?

Spencer: Every year, I leave flowers on my mother’s grave on the anniversary of her death. I can’t this year for obvious reasons. Mm. Unless…

Victor: Unless what?

Spencer: Well, unless you bust me out.


Drew: So you think that Victor is trying to access my old memories?

Anna: It’s possible. But, look, Andre confirmed for me that those memories were gone.

Drew: But Peter made him believe otherwise.

Anna: Well, Peter and Faison, they were in charge of the whole memory experiment. But then Victor, he took custody of you at Crichton Clark. And this — this kind of tracks with this new information that I’m privy to. [ Sighs ]

Drew: Such as?

Laura: It’s alright, Anna. I think Drew has a right to know the truth.


Victor: Absolutely not.

Spencer: Come on, Uncle Victor. I know that you have connections in Spring Ridge. You arranged for Samuel to make sure that I was safe. How hard could it be for you to arrange a furlough?

Victor: Furloughs are almost exclusively reserved for family funerals and deathbeds.

Spencer: Then it can be off the books. It’s not like this place is surrounded by barbed wire. I can be shuttled out of here and brought back in an hour.

Victor: I will not risk extending your sentence, much less joining you in here. Not when there’s so much in the works for the future of this family.

Spencer: And I want to be a part of that future. We are Cassadines, Uncle Victor. Family is everything to us. We don’t get to pick and choose who we love, who we trust. Just because my mother died hours after me being born doesn’t mean that I don’t miss her every single day. I know I screwed up. And I’m being punished for it now, deservedly so. But think about the people who you’ve loved and lost. Wouldn’t you do everything in your power to make sure that they weren’t forgotten? There must be something you can do.


Trina: We were so close to getting past this, but you just can’t help yourself, can you?

Cameron: Okay, let’s just take a moment right now. I understand —

Trina: I didn’t realize you were taking a course on mediation, Cam.

Cameron: None of my business?

Trina: Mm.

Josslyn: Am I wrong for defending my friends?

Trina: No, you’re not wrong, but it doesn’t make it any better when you say there are certain things you won’t apologize for after saying you’re sorry.

Josslyn: Trina, I’m trying my best here. We all lose it sometimes. Like you did at the cabin.

Trina: Oh, my gosh, apologies aren’t transactional. You made my feelings for Spencer part of “the Josslyn Jacks show.”

Josslyn: That was Esme, not me.

Trina: It’s always Esme, isn’t it? Can’t you just take responsibility for making things worse? Can you, for once in your life, think about what I’m going through?

Esme: My, my. You can cut the tension with a knife, can’t you?


Nikolas: Spencer’s loved, Courtney. Maybe I need to remind him of that more often.

Sonny: [ Groans ] Okay, Courtney, I’m sorry. I should — I know I should have been nicer, but I think… that’s what Nikolas needed, and that’s what Spencer needs. And I’m gonna — I’m gonna — I’m gonna look out for your boy, just like I trust that you keep an eye on… my dad, Morgan, Jason. And Brando and Sasha’s baby boy.


Sasha: I love you.

Brando: I love you, too.

Sasha: That was good.

Brando: Mm.

Sasha: Better than good.

Brando: Mm-hmm. Mm, like the first time. [ Sighs, chuckles ]

Sasha: Yeah, except – except in a bed this time.

[ Both chuckle ]

Sasha: Instead of the backseat of a car you were working on.

Brando: Yeah, yeah. Well, there is that. [ Sighs ]

Sasha: I’ll trade my pillow mint for your thoughts.

Brando: Oh. I was thinking. It’s been a while since we’ve been with each other. Not since…

Sasha: well, let’s not wait so long next time. [ Chuckles ] I’ll be right back.


[ Water rushing in distance ]

Brando: Hi.

Sasha: Wait. Don’t move. I want to take a mental picture of this. It’s beautiful.

Brando: Oh, the — the view?

Sasha: Mm, that too.


Cameron: Best to stay out of this, Esme.

Trina: I should go.

Josslyn: Wait. What if I ditch class and we can talk?

Trina: I’m all talked out. Maybe another time.

Josslyn: Well, text me. I’ll always answer.

Cameron: Trina… for what it’s worth, I’m very sorry.

Trina: Thanks.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Esme: Trina.

Trina: I really don’t want to hear from you, Esme.

Esme: [ Sighs ] Don’t worry, Trina. You’re probably never gonna hear from any of us soon enough.


Nikolas: You holding up okay?

Carly: Are you?

Nikolas:  I should join my lovely wife. Take care, Carly. Courtney would have loved what you’ve done with the place. What it’s become. I’m sorry that I’ve never told you that before.

Carly: Thank you. You just missed your mother.

Nikolas: Oh, yeah? What did she have to say?

Carly: No, I-I didn’t get to say anything to her but hello, but she did seem to be getting into it with Ava and Victor.


Drew: You really think that Victor had something to do with Luke’s death?

Laura: We don’t have proof. We only have circumstantial evidence.

Anna: But we — we all believe that he’s been planning something for months. So what if Luke stumbled upon it, and then Victor would only have one way to stop Luke?

Drew: But, I mean, I-I barely even knew Luke. So — so how would he have come across something that relates to me?

Laura: Crichton-Clark, Helena, Victor, the Ice Princess?

Anna: The common threads is the Cassadines. But we can’t stop Victor until we have proof.

Drew: There’s like dozens of people died in that crash in Innsbruck, dozens.

Anna: And the only way for us to prove that Victor is responsible is to go to Austria.

Laura: You’ve got to tread very carefully. That was deemed an accident.

Anna: Right.

Laura: If you reopen the investigation, it’s going to let Victor know that we’re on to him.

Anna: Yes.

Sam: You know, there is another way to find out what Victor wants.


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: Yeah, 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?

Brando: Mm-hmm.

Sasha: 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.


Sam: Something in your past motivated Victor to help Peter escape.

Anna: And Peter misled Victor, right? But now Peter’s dead.

Laura: Anna, is it possible that Victor could have gotten access to Andre Maddox and questioned him about Drew’s memories?

Anna: I don’t know, but I can contact Andre for sure. I-I’m confident that he would never reveal that kind of information, and certainly not to someone like Victor.

Drew: So Victor still believes that he can access my memories.

Sam: Exactly. So what if we set a trap for Victor by convincing him it’s possible?


Victor: No, no, no further action from Anna or Drew with regards to our connection to Peter August. But [Sighs] I fear this is only the calm before the storm.

Nikolas: Starting without me?

Ava: Mm-hmm. Never too early to keep celebrating Peter’s demise.

Nikolas: [ Chuckles ] Amen to that. [ Chuckles ] Carly…just told me that she saw you and my mother having a pretty intense conversation. [ Breathes deeply ] What was that about?               [ Sighs ]

Ava: Oh, we were just gossiping about you. Every once in a while, Laura needs a little reassurance that I’m taking very good care of you.

Nikolas: Had nothing to do with my uncle?

Ava: No, I told her that I had a nice conversation with him.

Nikolas: Really?

Ava: Yeah. And I’m making more of an effort with Victor.

Nikolas: [ Sighs ] I’m making more of an effort with Spencer. Not having much luck.

Ava: And you will keep trying until you do. In the meantime, since your uncle wants to be closer with you, what do you say we invite Victor to dinner?


Spencer: Hello, mother. Sorry I was late this year. [ Sighs ] I see that someone beat me to it. I’m glad that you weren’t alone.

Trina: Spencer? What are you doing out of Spring Ridge?


Professor Khan: Despite having been born nearly a generation apart, Locke and Rousseau shared similar ideas about free will and a social contract. Locke and Rousseau were not considered criminologists.

Cameron: You okay?

Josslyn: Who is being stubborn, me or Trina?

Professor Khan: However, in their social contract with society, they believed that an individual…

Cameron: Maybe neither.

Professor Khan: …enter the contract…

Cameron: I mean you both had great points.

Professor Khan: …giving up their rights…

Josslyn: No, no, I need to find her.

Professor Khan: …to act in their own self-interest.

Josslyn: And I need to apologize again before we start fighting.

Professor Khan: In fact, it was Jerem Bentham who devised the roles of imprisonment and incarceration. Bentham understood that punishment should be used sparingly, and he also understood that happiness was when the greatest good was shared by the greatest number. However, as Bentham said—

[ Cellphones, computers chiming ]

Professor Khan: Alright, alright. Exactly what is more important than Jeremy Bentham?

Male student: See for yourself.

[ Students murmuring ]

[ Gasping, laughter ]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Anna: What is taking them so long? It’s almost dawn, and they’re still not home. Tony? Oh, tony. Thank god you’re home. Oh, golly, I’ve been so worried. Are you all right? Let me look at you.

Tony: Yeah, I’m fine. Kristen got away, but chad and i were able to bring abigail, steve, and kayla safely home.

Anna: Oh, well, that’s wonderful news. I have to admit, I had a queasy feeling when I heard where you were headed.

Tony: Yeah, that island does hold some history.

Anna: Yes. Especially since it’s where you and renee dumonde had your romantic idyll.

Tony: Oh. [Laughs] That was a lifetime ago.

Anna: Yes, yes. Of course it was, and it’s silly of me to even bring it up, especially since we know that woman is long dead.

Tony: Actually… renee was there.

Sarah as renee: Why am i being held in this hospital against my will?

Kayla: We just want to run some tests.

Sarah as renee: And as I told you, there is no need for tests. I switched out the poison with goat’s milk.

Steve: Yeah, so you said.

Sarah as renee: And you both ate it, and you’re fine, so there was nothing wrong with that chicken.

Steve: This isn’t about the chicken, sarah.

Sarah as renee: Stop calling me sarah!

Ava: Oh… those three losers who framed rafe better not have ratted me out.

Chad: Hello, ava.

Ava: Chad dimera. What are you doing here?

Chad: I’m here to find out why you kidnapped my wife and who helped you do it.

[Soft mysterious music]

[Knocking on door]

Gwen: Xander, there’s someone at the door.

Xander: Hmm? Oh, bloody hell. I’ll get rid of whoever it is. You better have a damn good reason for waking us up at this hour. Abigail. What are you doing here?

Abigail: I came straight from the plane to tell you the truth about what gwen did to me.

Anna: I don’t understand. We both know that renee dumonde died years ago.

Tony: That’s right.

Anna: But you just said–

Tony: What I said was that renee was on the island. What I meant was “renee.”

Anna: Okay. Now I’m totally lost.

Tony: Well, you see, she is renee, ’cause that’s what she calls herself.

Anna: But she’s not renee?

Tony: No, but she actually believes that she is.

Anna: All right. Well, then who is she really?

Tony: Sarah horton.

Sarah as renee: Again with this sarah nonsense.

Kayla: It’s not nonsense. It’s who you are, and the only reason that you think it’s not who you are is because of the drug that you were injected with last year.

Sarah as renee: How could a drug make me think that I am someone else?

Steve: We’re not sure yet.

Kayla: That’s why we need to do an mri and a ct scan, so that we can see if there’s any lasting damage to your brain.

Sarah as renee: I can assure you that my brain is not damaged. Now, I’d like to get home to tony and my long-lost brother chad.

Ava: I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. I don’t even know your wife.

Chad: Well, the police believe otherwise.

Ava: Oh, so that’s why I’m here. They think I kidnapped abigail and did what with her?

Chad: Locked her away on a deserted island, where I just found her.

Ava: And you think I brought her there?

Chad: Maybe not personally, but you were masquerading as sarah horton at the airfield when abigail was knocked out.

Ava: I didn’t lay a hand on her.

Chad: Maybe not, but someone hit her from behind, knocked her unconscious, and you were there. So who was it, ava? Who was helping you?

Ava: Abigail, you don’t have to do that.

Abigail: Oh, I think I do. What am I supposed to do? Just let you walk away–

Chad: You can sit and act innocent, but I’m not leaving here until you identify your accomplice.

Gwen: Xander, don’t listen to her. You know she would do anything to hurt me.

Abigail: Oh, I would do anything to hurt you?

Xander: What’s this all about, abigail?

Abigail: She’s been lying to you, xander, and I have proof. The pilot ratted her out.

Xander: Pilot? What pilot?

Abigail: You didn’t want him to know the truth about what really happened to sarah, because you knew he would dump you so fast.

Xander: Sarah? What does this have to do with sarah?

Gwen: Nothing, nothing. Don’t–don’t believe her.

Abigail: Sarah has been held prisoner on a deserted island for the past year.

Xander: What?

Abigail: And gwen has known about it for months.

Gwen: Xander, I can explain.

Xander: How could you do this? How could you do this to me! What’s going on, gwen? You all right?

Jennifer: It’s 9:00, jack.

Jack: I know. I know. You know why I know? Because you told me it’s 8:45 about ten minutes ago.

Jennifer: Yes, but it landed an hour ago, so what is happening?

Abigail: Mom?

Jennifer: Where–abigail!

Jack: Oh, she’s here!

Jennifer: Oh, my gosh, baby.

Jack: Sweetheart. Oh, you made it home.

Jennifer: So glad you’re okay.

Jack: Yes.

Jennifer: Let me look at you. Are you okay?

Jack: Oh, my gosh. Are you hurt? Is–

Abigail: No.

Jack: Is everything okay?

Abigail: I’m fine. I’m fine. I just thank god chad found me and brought me home.

Jennifer: Where is chad?

Abigail: He went to go confront my kidnapper.

Ava: As I told your wife on the runway, the mask was just a harmless prank.

Chad: Let’s say that’s true. You still stood there and did nothing while someone knocked out my wife and dragged her onto that plane. Now, who was it?

Ava: I’m sorry. I can’t answer your question.

Chad: You can, but you don’t want to. Yet. You know, my brother and I–we talked to ned granger.

Ava: Ned granger?

Chad: He was the one who told us where abigail was, because he was the one that flew her there.

Ava: Okay.

Chad: And he said that kristen was there when they arrived on the island, so she’s not the one that knocked her out.

Ava: Like I said, I’m sorry, but I cannot answer your question.

Chad: Then you’re just gonna have to answer to the police.

Ava: I haven’t committed a crime.

Chad: How about accessory to kidnapping?

Ava: I had nothing to do with it.

Chad: Okay. I know all about your past. These crimes might seem meaningless to you, but this is about my wife. You understand? The mother of my children. And I’m gonna make damn sure that someone pays for what they did to her. But it doesn’t have to be you. You can walk out of here with a slap on the wrist. All you have to do is turn on your partner.

Gwen: Bad dream.

Xander: I’ll say. Do you remember what it was about this time?

Gwen: This time?

Xander: Gwen, it’s been happening to you quite a lot recently–I mean, waking up in a cold sweat, pale as a sheet.

Gwen: Yeah, I suppose it has been happening more, from time to time, hasn’t it?

Xander: And this time, would it maybe help to talk about it?

Gwen: Maybe. It was about dr. Snyder.

Xander: Snyder? I haven’t thought that swine for a minute. No wonder you’re so rattled.

Gwen: Yeah. It was terrifying actually. We had just thrown him down, in the lake, and his body sank, but then his body rose up, and–

Xander: And what?

Gwen: And… well, he started yelling at me, and he was telling me that I am the scum of the earth, and he told me that you didn’t really love me. He said that you were just using me to get over sarah. You were there, too, and confirmed it.

Xander: Oh, gwen. I hope your subconscious didn’t come up with this dream because you doubt my feelings for you.

Gwen: I don’t know why I had the dream. All I know is that it scared me half to bloody death.

Xander: Do you know what i dreamed about last night?

Gwen: No. How could I?

Xander: I dreamed that you and I were married, and we had four kids–two boys, two girls–all with your great, big, gorgeous eyes.

Gwen: Really?

Xander: A lovely house. White picket fence. A golden retriever called dumpling.

Gwen: Dumpling?

Xander: And you were telling me that you’d just been voted wife and mother of the year.

Gwen: Did I? Well, lucky me. Really? Did I say who said it?

Xander: No, no, no. You didn’t say, and I didn’t ask, but you were very pleased with yourself, understandably, and I was incredibly proud of you.

Gwen: You didn’t dream that, did you?

Xander: No, I didn’t, but I daydream about it all the time.

Gwen: Well, that’s very lovely.

Xander: Gwen, do I have to remind you we’re getting married soon? Would that be happening if I didn’t adore you and want to spend the rest of my life with you?

Gwen: No. Of course not. I know that your feelings for me are genuine. I know that you love me, and I cannot wait to be your wife.

Xander: But then why all these bad dreams, hmm? Unless–

Gwen: Unless what?

Xander: Are you nervous about abigail coming home?

Gwen: Why would I be nervous about it?

Xander: I don’t know. You tell me.

Kayla: I know that this is a lot to process, but chad is not your brother, and you are not a dimera. Your name is sarah horton, and I can prove it.

Sarah as renee: Please let me out of here.

Kayla: I can’t do that.

Sarah as renee: Why not?

Kayla: Because there are a lot of family and friends who love you and miss you. Please let us do these tests, okay? I am confident that I can come up with a treatment plan for you. Abigail recovered from a very similar condition, and so can you.

Steve: Kayla’s right, and we want to help you any way we can.

Sarah as renee: Okay.

Kayla: Really?

Sarah as renee: Yeah. Whatever’s going on with me, I want to know the truth about my life, so run the tests.

Kayla: Great. I think you’re making a wise decision, and I’ll set them up.

Steve: And I’ll let you get some rest. You hang in there, okay?

Sarah as renee: Thank you. Thank you both.

Kayla: Okay. I’ll be back.

[Pensive electronic music]

Your mission:

Jack: So ava vitali was under the mask?

Abigail: She was the one who’s been masquerading as sarah.

Jennifer: Why would she do that?

Abigail: She claimed that it was a prank. Of course, I knew it was more than that, and I told her so, but when I did that, next thing I know, someone came up behind me and just conked me over the back of the head.

Jennifer: What?

Jack: Do you know who it was?

Abigail: No, but chad’s with ava now, and he’s determined to find out.

Ava: If I give you a name, you think I just get to walk?

Chad: Well, you know how this goes. The da isn’t interested in the accomplice. They’re gonna want the big fish.

Ava: So all of a sudden, you’re an expert in knowing what the da wants?

Chad: Well, my wife is the victim, and my name happens to have a lot of pull in this town, so I can talk to trask and convince her to offer you a deal.

Ava: You have no way of knowing that she’s gonna say yes.

Chad: And what’s your alternative, ava? Hmm? I mean, I know whoever knocked abby out and dragged her onto that plane is the real culprit. Why would you want to go down for someone else’s crime?

Steve: Yeah, at least everyone’s safe. Okay, I’ll let you know if there’s anything else to report. I’ll talk to you soon. Yeah.

[Cell phone beeps]

Kayla: Was that maggie?

Steve: No, brady. I was waiting to call maggie until we get sarah’s test results.

Kayla: Well, that makes sense.

Steve: Hopefully, we’ll be able to give her some good news.

Kayla: Well, the tech is ready, so I’m gonna go pick her up and bring her down for imaging.

Xander: Hey, I understand. I know you’re still not on the best of terms with your sister.

Gwen: Yeah, you could say that.

Xander: Yeah. You were very upset when she accused you of pretending to be sarah and rejecting me again.

Gwen: Yes. That was quite hurtful.

Xander: But she, and jack, and everyone else now knows that it couldn’t have been you, so–

Gwen: No, of course not, because I was there, in the square, when sarah and abigail were together.

Xander: Exactly. You know, and in the end, it all worked out for the best anyway, didn’t it? I mean, sarah coming back here gave me the closure I needed, and I can’t say I particularly enjoyed being rejected again, but it reminded me that I’m finished with her too.

Gwen: Which is why you proposed to me.

Xander: Because you and i belong together, gwen, and now there’s nothing gonna get in the way of us being mr. And mrs. Xander cook.

Kayla: Okay, sarah. Everything’s set up.

[Quiet dramatic music]

Anna: So sarah is still convinced she’s renee?

Tony: Yes, and not only that, she’s acting like she’s madly in love with me and that she wants to pick up from where we left off all those years ago.

Anna: That’s absurd. You tried to set her straight, I hope?

Tony: Well, of course I did, but nothing I said made a dent. She’s stuck in this emotional delusion.

Anna: Oh, the poor thing. Well, where is she now?

Tony: Steve and kayla took her to the hospital to get some tests. Hopefully, they’ve gotten through to her by now.

Anna: Hopefully is right.

Tony: Well, she’ll just have to accept that you are my one and only love of my life.

Sarah as renee: Get your hands off my tony.

Tackling tough messes can

take more time than you have,

Ava: You make a compelling pitch, but I think I’m gonna take my chances. If the cops had anything on me, they’d have already arrested me.

Chad: Well, they had enough to drag you down here.

Ava: They’ll have to let me go soon.

Chad: I would not count on that. At the very least, you’re a witness and a person of interest in a kidnapping.

Ava: Oh, I’m always a person of interest. I’m used to that.

Chad: Well, you enjoy your quiet time, then, but if things do take a turn, and you decide you don’t want to go to prison, give me a call.

[Tense music]

Gwen: You know, I never did ask you why you go by cook and not kiriakis.

Xander: Oh, well, I ditched my birth name a little while ago. Complicated family history.

Gwen: I like cook.

Xander: It is a lot easier to spell than rizczech, but you don’t have to take it, if you don’t want to. Or maybe you could do, like, a hyphenate or–

Gwen: Gwen cook sounds absolutely perfect to me.

Xander: Me too. Mrs. Gwendolyn cook.

[Cell phone beeps]

[Cell phone rings] Who’s calling at this ungodly hour?

Gwen: I can’t imagine. Hello?

Ava: I need to see you right now. Get your ass down to the police station.

Abigail: No news from chad yet.

Jennifer: Well, he’ll get some answers. The important thing is, you’re safe. You’re not hurt. Everybody’s fine.

Jack: Although I’m sure it was terrifying.

Abigail: It was. Gosh, but I’m just so damn grateful to be back. And thank you both for staying on just to take care of thomas and charlotte.

Jennifer: Oh, honey, it was our pleasure.

Jack: Yeah.

Jennifer: Please.

Abigail: I mean, the kids being with the two of you, I bet they hardly missed me at all.

Jennifer: Oh.

Jack: Oh, no. Like, every five minutes, it’S… “when’s mommy coming home?”

Jennifer: “Where’s our mom? Where’s mommy?”

Abigail: Well, now that I am home, as much as I have missed having you here, I guess you can go back to boston.

Jack: Okay. Well, we know “the spectator’s” in good hands with you, and both your mother and i would like to tell you how proud we are of what a good writer and good journalist you’ve become.

Abigail: Thanks, dad. And I have you and mom to thank, just for being my role models, and for inspiring me, and yeah. And I guess I have my next big story.

Jack: Oh, do you? What is it?

Abigail: The kidnapping of sarah horton.

Jennifer: The kidnapping?

Abigail: Yes. She was on that miserable island too.

Jack: Sarah was there?

Abigail: Yeah. Kristen had been keeping her captive there since her wedding last year.

Jack: So xander was right. Sarah was in trouble.

Abigail: She sure as hell was. Yeah, and then I just accidentally stumbled upon the fact that it was kristen masquerading as sarah who actually broke it off with xander.

Jack: And not sarah?

Abigail: Not sarah. Mm-mm. Which is, of course, so terribly sad and, you know, not just because it wasn’t sarah who broke xander’s heart, but then poor woman ends up being kristen’s prisoner for months and doesn’t even know where the hell she was.

Jack: Kristen’s a sadistic maniac.

Abigail: And unfortunately, she’s never gonna pay for this crime, just like she hasn’t for so many others, because I’m sure it’ll come as a shock, but she got away.

Jennifer: Of course. She is sadistic and very clever.

Abigail: In the worst possible way.

Jack: But sarah’s alive and well?

Abigail: Alive, yes. Well, not so much.

Steve: We should have known she was playing us. We never should have left her alone.

Kayla: Well, she had us both fooled.

Steve: Well, she couldn’t have gotten too far.

[Cell phone beeps]

Kayla: Sorry. Dr. Johnson. Oh. Okay, thank you.

[Cell phone beeps] That was the head of hospital security.

Steve: They find sarah?

Kayla: No, but they did catch her on the security cameras leaving the hospital.

Steve: Give you three guesses where she went. The first two don’t count.

Sarah as renee: Did you hear me, anna? Step away from my tony.

Anna: I’m sorry, sweetheart, but this is my tony. I understand that you’re confused, but tony and I love each other.

Sarah as renee: He would have never even looked at you twice if he knew I was alive.

Tony: Okay, can we please just take a step back?

Sarah as renee: Your marriage is a sham, anna. You probably tricked him into it.

Anna: What are we gonna do about this person?

Tony: Let’s just try to keep her calm. I’ll call kayla.

Sarah as renee: You are not calling kayla, and I am not going to be calm while this tramp tries to steal my life!

Anna: Tramp? Excuse me.

Tony: That’s uncalled for.

Sarah as renee: Well, it’s the truth, so get your hands off of my man, pack your bags, and get the hell out of my family home! Life’s been hard enough.

Anna: I’m trying very hard to be patient with you because I understand that you’re ill, but I’m not going anywhere. This is my home.

Sarah as renee: Really? Is that your father on the wall? I didn’t think so.

Anna: Well, he’s not yours either. Tony?

Tony: Listen.

Sarah as renee: Hello, daddy. I’ve missed you.

Anna: Do something.

Sarah as renee: You know what you can do, tony, is tell this washed-up floozy to hit the bricks.

Anna: You know, that’s enough. If anyone’s going anywhere, it’s you.

Sarah as renee: Over my dead body.

Anna: Well, that can be arranged.

Gwen: It’s a bit early, don’t you think?

Ava: Well, it’s not my fault the cops hauled me down here before I even had my morning coffee. You alone?

Gwen: No, I’m not. What’s up?

Ava: Well, what’s up is that I am being held for questioning in connection with the abduction of abigail dimera.

Gwen: No kidding.

Ava: Yeah, no kidding, and chad was just in here grilling me about who I saw hitting his wife over the head.

Gwen: Okay.

Ava: Okay, so if you’re not down here in the next ten minutes, your name’s gonna come up in conversation… a lot. As in, “gwen hit abigail over the head.” You understand?

Gwen: Mm-hmm. Yep. Right. I will be there as soon as I can. Okay, bye.

[Cell phone beeps]

Xander: Wait? What’s going on? Who was that?

Gwen: That was the wedding planner that I reached out to.

Xander: It’s a bit early for a call, isn’t it?

Gwen: Yes. I know, but that’s what is the best thing about her. Early bird and all. I think I’m actually gonna pop round and go see her.

Xander: What? Now?

Gwen: Yeah. She had a cancellation this morning, so–

Xander: Well, do you want me to come with you?

Gwen: No. I’ll just go take the meeting, and we’ll see how it goes, okay?

[Drum music crescendos]

Jack: So sarah is–

Abigail: She’s not in her right mind.

Jennifer: That poor girl.

Abigail: It’s so sad. It’s heartbreaking, really, and, you know, obviously, I can relate, so–

Jennifer: Yes, of course you can.

Abigail: Anyway, it’s also a really difficult situation for tony, because god only knows why, because of sarah’s delusion, she believes, for some reason, that she’s tony’s old flame, renee dumonde.

Jack: How strange.

Abigail: So strange. It’s strange, complicated, especially because sarah, aka renee, is madly in love with him.

Anna: Let me at her!

Tony: That’s enough!

Sarah as renee: You can’t–

Tony: Both of you!

Sarah as renee: You keep her away from me, tony.

Tony: Listen to me, renee.

Anna: Renee? Now you’re calling her renee?

Tony: It’s the only way she’ll respond.

Anna: Has the world gone mad?

Tony: No need for any insults or threats. We need to act like adults, civilized, sane people, so that we can be able to work this thing through.

Anna: Only one of us is sane here.

Tony: Will you please, for my sake?

Sarah as renee: All right. I’m sorry, tony. I will calm down, for your sake. I’m sorry.

Kayla: Oh, there you are, sarah.

Anna: Oh, thank god you’re here. Did you bring the men in white coats with you?

Steve: What’s going on?

Anna: What’s going on is this deranged woman crashed in here and attacked me. Please take her back to the hospital, where she belongs.

Trelegy for copd.

Kayla: Why don’t we get you back to the hospital and take care of those tests?

Sarah as renee: No thanks. Not going.

Anna: Please, kayla, can’t you do something about this?

Kayla: I can’t force her.

Anna: Why not?

Sarah as renee: Because it’s a free country.

Kayla: And she’s not endangering anyone.

Anna: She almost attacked me, before you got here.

Sarah as renee: No. You attacked me, so, kayla, steve, why don’t you take her to the hospital and get her anger issues checked out, while I go freshen up?

Tony: Kayla, is there nothing else you can do?

Kayla: If she won’t submit to the tests, I mean, we could get a court order, but–

Tony: What are we supposed to do until then?

Kayla: Keep her safe.

Tony: Steve!

Steve: For now, until we can figure something out.

Anna: You are not seriously suggesting that we’d let her live here.

Kayla: Well, at least then we would know where she is. I’m sorry. If you need anything else, please don’t hesitate to call us.

Anna: Anything else? You haven’t done anything.

Tony: I’ll be in touch.

Sarah as renee: These have to go.

Anna: Keep your hands off. You’re not actually going to let her stay here.

Sarah as renee: Well, he’s not letting me do anything. It’s my family home, is it not, tony?

Tony: You can stay, for now.

Anna: Well, I’m not going anywhere either. Tony and I are husband and wife.

Sarah as renee: You were husband and wife. Tony, you need to be liberated from this horrible woman.

Anna: Liberated?

Sarah as renee: I’m gonna hire you the best lawyer in town. I’m gonna see if I can get in touch with don craig and get you out of this nightmare of a marriage.

Anna: Tony and I are very happily married, and don craig went out to mail a letter one day, and we never heard from him again.

Sarah as renee: Well, I’ll find someone, and when I do, if you don’t leave, I will have you forcibly removed.

Tony: I don’t think so.

Sarah as renee: Don’t worry. Renee is gonna take care of everything.

[Dramatic music]

God, it’s good to be home.

Chad: Hey, jack.

Jack: Chad, abigail’s waiting to hear from you. Listen, I owe you so much. We so appreciate everything you and tony did to bring our girl home.

Chad: I’m just happy that she’s okay. No injuries. A little bit traumatized, but abby’s resilient, so she’s gonna be okay.

Jack: Yeah, of course she is, and listen, she told us all about sarah. What happened to that girl. That hell. Actually, I was just about to call xander, let him know what happened and tell him that sarah didn’t leave him voluntarily.

Chad: Well, I’m sure he’ll be very happy to hear that.

Jack: He will. He will. Although–

Chad: Although what?

Jack: Xander’s getting married.

Chad: To gwen?

Ava: Is this supposed to be some sort of disguise?

Gwen: I’m trying not to call too much attention to myself.

Ava: By dressing like a snowman?

Gwen: Oh, god. I can’t believe that you made me come down here.

Ava: Oh, well, you just want me to sit at the station and rot?

Gwen: You know that I am not supposed to be seen with you.

Ava: Oh, believe me, gwen. That is the least of your problems.

[Cell phone rings]

Xander: The little birds are chirping this morning. Oh, it’s jack.

[Cell phone beeps] Morning, mate.

Jack: Xander, hey. Listen, I’m sorry to call so early, but abigail just got back.

Xander: Oh, that is just wonderful news, jack. I knew she was on her way home, but now that she’s back safe, thank god. You and jennifer must be thrilled.

Jack: We are, but you need to know that sarah was there too.

Xander: Sarah was where?

Jack: On the island with abigail.

Xander: I don’t understand.

Jack: Listen, do you remember the day of your wedding, a year ago? You got a call from susan banks at the pub. She said that she saw sarah going upstairs with rex.

Xander: Yeah, how could I not remember that?

Jack: That was actually kristen.

Xander: Yeah, jack. I know it was.

Jack: What you don’t know is that kristen didn’t only impersonate susan banks. She also impersonated sarah.

Xander: What?

Jack: The woman that you saw in bed with rex, the woman who broke up with you, was kristen in a sarah mask.

Xander: Oh, my god. No! But I–oh, my god.

Jack: I’m sorry to tell you like this.

Xander: No, but wait, wait, wait. What about when sarah came back to salem to visit maggie? That was kristen too?

Jack: No, no. Believe it or not, that was ava vitali.

Xander: Well, no, I don’t believe it, jack. It’s too insane. It can’t be true.

Jack: I’m afraid it is. Abigail confirmed it.

Xander: Where is sarah now? Where is she, jack?

Jack: They’re taking her to the hospital.

Xander: I have to go find her. I have to see her. I have to–[Cell phone beeps].

Jack: Wait. Before you do that, there’s one more thing you need to know. You–xander? Hello?

Jennifer: Oh, you are our hero. We can’t thank you enough.

Chad: No. Are you kidding me? Seeing the kids’ faces when abby tucks ’em in at night is all the thanks I need.

Jennifer: They missed their mama so much.

Abigail: Not as much as they would have missed me if it weren’t for grandma and grandpa being here.

Jennifer: Well, they were a comfort to us. Trust me. I’m gonna go check on g-pa right now.

Chad: How you doing, baby? Tired? You want some rest? What can I do for you?

Abigail: Not a thing. I’m too wound up to be tired. How’d it go with ava?

Chad: She stonewalled me. No surprise there, but I could tell that she was panicked. I mean, we know she didn’t assault you, but given her track record, trask shouldn’t have a hard time getting those aiding and abetting charges to stick.

Abigail: Right, so if she wants to save her own neck, there’s only one way to do it.

Chad: That’s to name her accomplice.

Gwen: You’re not gonna rat me out, are you?

Ava: You know, despite committing my fair share of crimes, I’ve managed to stay out of prison for most of my life. I’m not getting locked up for this.

Gwen: What are you saying?

Ava: What I’m saying is, if I do get arrested, the only way out may be to give them a name, so I’m gonna ask you one simple question. Why shouldn’t I sacrifice you to save myself?

Jennifer: How did xander take the news?

Jack: Stunned, but he’s gonna be even more stunned when he hears the whole story.

Jennifer: You didn’t tell him, jack?

Jack: I tried, but he hung up before I could. I mean, he wanted to go find her. He was gonna run off, and I told him that she was at the hospital.

Jennifer: Right, but he knows that the real sarah didn’t reject him, right?

Jack: Right. He knows that, but he doesn’t know that the real sarah considers herself to be tony’s late inamorata, renee dumonde.

Tony: I’m so sorry. I’m sorry you had to go through this, darling.

Anna: Don’t you “darling” me. You were playing along with that girl’s delusions.

Tony: Anna, please. Can we have a little compassion? Sarah is mentally ill. What she needs right now is some kindness.

Anna: Oh, really? Well, what if treating a crazy woman with kindness drives your sane wife crazy?

[Eerie music]

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

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Thomas: My family should thank you? You are the reason that my mother and father are back together?

Sheila: Is it really so hard to believe that I could do something good?

Thomas: You haven’t done a single good thing in your whole life, sheila.

Sheila: Wh– you don’t know. You have no idea.

Thomas: You know, you’re right. I don’t know. I don’t know why you would think that we would welcome you with open arms. You need to leave. Okay? Stay away from my family. Stay away from steffy. Stay away from finn. Stay away from the kids. Okay, we don’t need you coming back into our family and screwing it up.

Sheila: Oh, don’t you dare! The arrogance. What, you– you just think that this happened out of the blue? That after all these years of your mother playing second fiddle to brooke, that her luck miraculously changed? Your family is reunited because of me.

Ridge: You know, people are going to talk, right?

Taylor: Mm.

Ridge: Say things that they shouldn’T.

Taylor: Yeah, thank you, thomas.

[ Sighs ]

Taylor: I know you don’t want gossip about us getting back to brooke and hurting her.

Ridge: Or you, or the kids. We’re still trying to figure this out. One moment at a time.

Ridge: Right.

Taylor: Yeah. But sooner or later, people are going to hear about you and brooke.

Max: Ridge.

Ridge: Hey.

Max: Taylor.

Taylor: Hi.

Max: Hey. I heard something’s going on between you and brooke. You okay?

Bill: Thank you.

[ Clears throat ]

Wyatt: So apparently, there’s trouble in paradise with ridge and brooke?

Bill: Hah! Well, that’s no surprise.

Liam: Yeah, well, before you lay it all on deacon, just know that brooke has taken responsibility for it.

Bill: That doesn’t surprise me either. Whenever things go bad, brooke takes the blame. Like it’s her fault that forrester can’t stick around, tough things out. Just a matter of time before he pushed the eject button and bailed. The guy’s never made brooke happy, and he never will.

Liam: Yeah, well, you’re right about one thing, brooke is not– she’s not happy. I mean, and as someone who’s been living on the property, I can tell you what a toll this is taking on her.

Brooke: Oh, I hate this feeling. What if there’s nothing to do to make it right? What if I just have to accept it?

Hope: And just let ridge be with taylor?

Brooke: If she’s going to make him happy, yeah.

Hope: Mom, come on, you can’t just let ridge walk away from your marriage like that.

Brooke: Honey, what else can I do? I have hurt him. I have let him down. I’ve betrayed his trust again and again. I mean, maybe it’s time to just stop. Set him free.

[ Sighs ]

Bill: Ridge can’t really believe that brooke wants to be with that two-bit convict, deacon. No, it’s just an excuse to race back to taylor.

Liam: I– I don’t think that’s how it happened, exactly. But—

Bill: What are you talking about, liam? Right? Ridge gets exactly what he wants and brooke gets to feel terrible about it.

Wyatt: Well, things were a little rocky between ridge and brooke before taylor even showed up.

Bill: When aren’t things rocky between those two?

Wyatt: Really? I mean, it’s coming from you?

Bill: All right. All I’m saying is, wise guys, brooke deserves a whole lot more than she’s ever gotten from ridge.

Ridge: Oh, max, is that the, uh…

Max: Milan proposal.

Ridge: Already? Seriously. Wow.

Max: Come on. Ridge forrester asks for a favour…

Ridge: But this is fast, even for you. I appreciate it.

Max: Well, speaking of favours…

Ridge: Ah, okay, here it is. What do you need? What can I do?

Max: Bikini.

Ridge: Well, I don’t know if we have anything in your size, but I’ll– I’ll–

Max: No, no, the guys are going out to bikini tonight. I’m trying to get carter to come out. You think you can get in his ear and convince him?

Ridge: Ah, I’ll see what I can do.

Max: Alright appreciate it. I’ll let you two get back to it.

Ridge: Okay.

Max: Seriously, you and brooke, everything…

Ridge: It’s fine. Let it go.

Max: You sure?

Ridge: Yeah.

Max: All right. Okay, man. All right.

Ridge: Thank you. Told you. They’re going to speculate.

Taylor: Yeah, you can’t stop that.

Ridge: No, but I don’t want it getting back to brooke or impacting you in any way.

Taylor: I know. I’ll be fine.

Ridge: Brooke isn’T.

Taylor: I know. I know you’re worried about her. Please don’t feel bad about caring. It’s one of your best qualities. One of them.

Hope: Mom, if you want this to be over that’s one thing–

Brooke: Ah, I don’T. Are you kidding me? I can’t even imagine a life without ridge.

Hope: Well, then how can you even think about giving up? Because you know that won’t make you happy. I mean, at this point, it’s just you punishing yourself.

Brooke: I don’t know how this happened. Ridge and taylor. It didn’t have to be this way.

Thomas: Everybody knows what happened, sheila.

Sheila: Is that so?

Thomas: Yeah, brooke got drunk, she made out with deacon, right? And then she slept in the same bed as him and apparently nothing else happened besides that. But that’s the reason that my parents are spending time together now, okay? So, we don’t owe you a damn thing and you had nothing to do with it.

Sheila: You know what? If you believe that, you are just as delusional as brooke. I mean, all– all her talk about destiny and fate. I had nothing to do with it? Why do you think brooke got drunk in the first place? I got covid in september of 2020, and a few weeks later,

Bill: All forrester’s ever done is let brooke down.

Liam: Yeah, and– and we can see why you’d feel that way.

Bill: Ah, boy, you two. It’s the damn truth.

Wyatt: From your perspective, dad.

Bill: Yeah, “that’s from my perspective,” wyatt

Wyatt: Why? What did I do?

Bill: I am telling it like it is. Forrester is a deadbeat. Just as bad as deacon.

Liam: Oh–

Bill: He’s just never been held accountable.

Liam: Okay. I know. But– but ridge is not the point. Brooke is the point. How much pain she’s in, how devastated she is. That’s the point.

Bill: Okay, number one, I don’t need you to tell me what the point is, liam.

Liam: It’s okay.

Bill: Brooke should be mad as hell. Where does forrester get off making her feel like a failure when he’s the one who quit? Again. That’s the point.

Wyatt: You’re making it sound like she didn’t see this coming.

Liam: Yeah it was touch ‘n go for a minute there, but they thought they were gonna get through it.

Wyatt: What, so brooke wasn’t worried that taylor was coming back at all?

Liam: She wasn’t until steffy and thomas started pressing the issue because obviously, they want their parents back together, stick to family…

Bill: Right. Right. Right. Giving ridge another excuse to bail on brooke. How many times has he left her hanging for taylor? How many times? And now he’s doing it again?

Ridge: Brooke feels like I abandoned her.

Taylor: Yeah, but you didn’T. When she told you about her drinking, you were so there for her.

Ridge: ‘Cause I told her I would be. Be there for her and I’d support her. I don’t understand. I don’T. Why-why is the– the first thing she goes to… lying to me? Why? Why wouldn’t she tell me what’s going on after everything we’ve been through, you’d think we could say anything to each other. Why did any of this happen in the first place?

Hope: You’re allowed to be upset with me, mom. Practically everyone warned me that this would happen.

Brooke: Hope, this is not your fault.

Hope: I brought dad back into our lives. I invited him over for new year’s eve.

Brooke: Honey, I opened the vodka bottle. I insisted your father drink with me. Now, I certainly am not going to blame that on anybody, especially you. It was my decision not to tell ridge the whole truth. I let him down. And because of that, I’ve lost him.

Thomas: You know why brooke got drunk on new year’s eve?

Sheila: I was asking you.

Thomas: No, you implied that you had something to do with it.

Sheila: Don’t put words in my mouth, thomas.

Thomas: I’m not putting words in your mouth. I am listening to what you’re saying. What did you do, sheila? Tell me.

Sheila: I don’t need to tell you anything, thomas. You said it, brooke got drunk, she kissed deacon, you have your family back. And brooke? Brooke got exactly what she deserved. Or should I say, what she ordered?

Thomas: She ordered non-alcoholic champagne.

Sheila: Huh. Non-alcoholic. Really?

Liam: See, hope is just worried that ridge and brooke won’t survive this.

Bill: She should be.

Wyatt: Nice. Very compassionate, dad.

Bill: It’s got nothing to do with compassion, wyatt. It’s a fact. Ridge hit the door the first chance he got.

Wyatt: Yeah, but ridge and brooke have gone through things like this before, and it’s never affected their marriage. Like when they had to deal with the deacon thing.

Liam: Well, that’s right. I mean, that was– that was tough, but they were determined to work through it.

Bill: Until taylor showed up, giving ridge another excuse to bail out.

Liam: Yeah. Here– here’s the thing. Hope thinks that they can get out of this tailspin, if brooke doesn’t give up. And the thing is, that’s a big if because, you know, ridge and brooke have been through a lot over the years, and there’s obviously a limit. You can only weather so many disasters. And hope’s afraid this is the final nail in the coffin. But it’s so weird because they were doing great over the holidays. You know, brooke was excited about new year’s, ridge was doing his best to come home,

Hope: Yeah, but you’re going to meetings, you’re back in recovery.

Brooke: I’m talking about what I did with your father.

[ Sighs ]

Ridge: Maybe that’s a pattern I’m bound to repeat. Maybe… maybe taylor is the right woman for him, after all.

Taylor: I can’t tell you what to do, but I can be here for you while you work through it.

Ridge: I’m glad you are.

Taylor: I know. I know you don’t want to hurt anyone, ridge. Not brooke, not me. And I don’t want to see you hurt, either. But you don’t have to go through this alone. Neither does brooke. You have me and the kids here to support you, and brooke has her family to lean on. I know you want to figure all of this out, but right now, just… just let it breathe. One moment at a time. Okay?

Ridge: Okay.

[ Sighs ]

Sheila: I– I didn’t know you could get drunk on non-alcoholic champagne.

Thomas: You can’T.

Sheila: And yet brooke got drunk, fell into deacon’s arms.

Thomas: Brooke wasn’t lying about the champagne, sheila. Hope was there when it was delivered, it wasn’t the real stuff.

Sheila: I’ll bet she guzzled it right down. I mean, why not? I mean, no booze. Where’s the harm in that?

Thomas: You’re saying there was alcohol in it? You spiked her drink?

Sheila: I wasn’t there, thomas, I– how can I spike someone’s drink when I’m not even in the room?

Thomas: You said that brooke deserved this. You said brooke ordered this. Are you saying that brooke actually drank real champagne? She doesn’t know why she drank that night. Are you saying that she drank alcoholic champagne without realizing it? I’m right, aren’t I? I’ve been telling everyone…

Hope: I don’t believe that ridge is better off with taylor. And neither do you.

Brooke: Ridge does.

Hope: Mm, ridge told me that he loves you and he always will. So, you need to hang on to that. Mom, I don’t want you throwing years and years of your experiences away as if it doesn’t matter. As if his potential with taylor is more important than the life you currently have with him. I invited deacon over for new year’s eve. I am the one who did not see the danger there. I mean, mom, you were so excited to see ridge that night, you were practically giddy about it.

Brooke: Maybe I should have just told him the truth from the beginning.

Hope: So, be honest with him now. Don’t let him just walk away. Go to him. Talk to him. I promise you, it is not too late.

Thomas: It was you. You’re the reason that brooke got drunk.

Sheila: Brooke’s an alcoholic. She fell off the wagon.

Thomas: Sounds like she was pushed off the wagon.

Sheila: You think I drove her into deacon’s arms?

Thomas: Think it was a part of your plan.

Sheila: My plan?

Thomas: Yes. To sabotage the relationship between my dad and brooke, so that they would split up. That’s why I should be thanking you, isn’t it?

[ Phone rings ]

Thomas: It’s my dad.

Sheila: What are you going to tell him?

Thomas: Hey.

Ridge: Hey. Where are you?

Thomas: Uh, something wrong?

Ridge: No, I’m here at the office with your hot mom and we’re thinking of ordering lunch and looking at your designs.

Thomas: You want me to come to the office right now?

Ridge: Yeah, unless you’re busy.

Thomas: Yeah, I’m– I’m sort of in the middle of something. Unscheduled meeting.

Ridge: Oh, an unscheduled meeting, huh? Doesn’t sound like it’s going very well.

Thomas: Came across something unexpected. I need a little bit more time to dig into it.

Ridge: Huh.

Taylor: Is everything all right?

Ridge: Yeah, yeah, he’s just being a little cryptic, and that’s never a good thing when it comes to thomas.

Thomas: How did you get brooke to drink? You weren’t there on new year’s eve, and that’s how this all started – the rift between my dad and brooke and why my parents are together right now. You’re the one who set this all in motion.

Sheila: No, no, I’m not. Brooke is the one that did that. I tried to warn her, and she knew threatening me could cause her harm. And you know what? She is paying the price right now. And your mother is reaping the benefits. So, yes. You know what? I do feel like I deserve some gratitude right now, thomas because, for the first time in years, your mother has an opportunity with your father. You all have an opportunity at–at a true reunion. You don’t want to ruin that for them. You don’t want to deny your parents an opportunity at– at long-lasting happiness. Now, do you? Thomas, don’t give brooke a way back to him. Don’t do it. You just keep quiet and you’re going to have the– the happily ever after, the family that you have always dreamed of. Don’t tell ridge. Just don’t do it.

GH Update Monday, March 7, 2022

General Hospital Updates

GH logo

Update written by Kathleen
Proofread by Suzanne

At Liz’s house, Finn comes down the stairs and says that the shower has great water pressure. Liz tells him Franco installed a new head right before he was killed. She says it sometimes feels like he is still there. Finn notes that someone wants her to feel that way.

Brando laughs and says that he doesn’t know what to say about Sasha wanting to get married that day. She tells him to just say yes!

Lucy is showing Jax’s house to Portia and Curtis. She hints that Sonny might also be interested in buying the house.

At the Metro Court, Sonny tells Carly he remembers that today is the anniversary of Courtney’s death.

At the cemetery, Trina walks up behind Spencer. She wants to know why he is out of prison. He is concerned that somebody might be with her.

In the classroom, the video of Joss and Cam continues to play on the large screen. Joss yells for it to be turned off.

Lucy tells Portia and Curtis what a great house it is and that it would be a wonderful place to start a family.

Brando asks Sasha if she’s sure she won’t regret getting married so quickly without any friends or family there. She assures him she won’t. He is all she needs.

Back in the classroom, the teacher has dismissed class. She tells Joss and Cam that she’s sorry for not shutting down the video sooner. The kid who transferred it up to the large screen will face disciplinary action. She then cautions them to keep better track of their intimate, personal files. After she walks away, Joss and Cam look at each other, bewildered.

Spencer explains to Trina why he is at the cemetery. They hear someone start to approach. Spencer tells her not to let them know he is there. He runs and hides. Jordan walks up.

Carly asks Sonny if he would like a drink. He tells her he is trying to cut back. They discuss missing Courtney. Carly tells him that it hurts when she sees him, so maybe she should see him less.

Brando reminds Sasha that they never really discussed marriage before. She flashes back to holding Liam for the last time. She tells him that while they never specifically talked about marriage, they had been planning a life together. She is concerned that his feelings for her have changed. He assures her they haven’t; he just doesn’t understand why she wants to get married now.

Liz tells Finn that she didn’t sleep well. He mentions that he didn’t sleep well on the couch, either. She asks if he felt like he was being watched. He says  that he didn’t but felt that it was unsettling to find out Betsy wasn’t involved in the strange occurrences. He asks her if she’s asked for some sleep aid medication from her doctor. She replies that she’s taking something but doesn’t want to take anything too strong. She’s worried about her boys, especially Jake. He needs help, but she doesn’t think she can give it to him.

Jordan tells Trina that she heard voices. Trina said she was just taking voice notes on her phone for a class.

Joss and Cam are upset as they realize how many people have received their video. For a moment, Cam thinks Joss is accusing him of sending the video. Esme, eavesdropping outside the room, smiles.

Sasha tells Brando that she doesn’t see any reason to wait. Brando wants to make sure it’s about them and not Liam.

Finn and Liz discuss who might be behind the strange occurrences. They are worried that it might be Jake. Finn suggests that a change of scenery might help.  He wants to take her and the kids to the beach. She responds that she can’t go anywhere with him.

Portia and Curtis like the house. However, Curtis is concerned it’s too big. She reminds him that Trina will still be around for a few more years. She suggests that his dad could move in as well.

Jordan is at her old friend Mark’s grave. She says she is back and “the bad guys are on notice.”

Sonny tells Carly that he doesn’t want to be the reason she’s hurting. He suggests that they could go back to not seeing each other at all, like when he was dead. Carly laughs, and remarks, “Nina would love that.”  He tells her that if she wants to avoid him all together, then he’ll do it.

Spencer assures Trina that he didn’t escape;  Victor arranged for him to have a furlough. She calls him overprivileged and spoiled. He assures her that he’s only there because it’s his dead mom’s birthday. She is touched as he talks about Courtney.

Cam denies that he recorded them in bed. Joss apologies for doubting him, but she can’t figure out who would have done such a thing. Esme, still listening outside, makes a noise. She starts to run away, but Joss stops her.

Spencer tells Trina that he knows being his friend must be exhausting. She says that every time she’s ready to give up on him, he does something to redeem himself.

Esme, acting nice, says to Joss and Cam how awful it is about the video. They have her full support. She asks if there is any way it can be unsent or if it is just out there for the whole world to “enjoy.” Joss says that there is only one person enjoying this: “the bitch in front of me.”

Finn says to Elizabeth that he understands why they can’t go away, under the circumstances. She tells him she needs to concentrate on her boys. He  gets that because Violet is his priority. She responds that his coming in second won’t work for her, either.

Curtis tells Portia that he’s not interested in having his father move in, but he does want to buy the house.

Trina tells Spencer to be careful. He is close to the end of his sentence and doesn’t shouldn’t do anything to miss it up. He asks her how she liked the book he gave her. She says she’ll discuss with him after her gets out of prison.

Esme denies that she had anything to do with the video. She claims that she only wants to be their friend.

Brando tells Sasha that he’ll marry her any time and place she wants.

Finn tells Liz he will give her some time, but he’ill wait for her.

Jordan tells Sonny that whatever happens, he should know she won’t be looking the other way.

Sasha takes a pill.

Spencer tells Courtney’s grave that the next time he comes back, he’ill be a free man… one she can be proud of.

As Esme continues to deny she is responsible for the video, Joss and Cam scoff that it’s obvious it was her. Esme says it couldn’t have been her because she wasn’t there. She says that they should blame someone who was.  Right then, they turn and look as Trina enters the room.

Recap written by Christine

Jack looked at a picture of Keemo with some other women. He commented that his son looked so happy. Jack recognized Mai, Keemo’s half sister, but he didn’t know who the other two people were. Jack was frustrated because he wasn’t sure what to make of all this – lured here by an anonymous person, who had now gone radio silent. Phyllis suggested that this person just wanted to point Jack in the right direction.

Jack and Phyllis decided to go through Keemo’s box again and look for clues. Phyllis pulled out a silk scarf, and Jack took it from her. She asked if he recognized it. He didn’t, and that was the issue. He didn’t know anything about Keemo. To Jack, it was one thing to read letters Keemo addressed to him, but it was another to be rifling through through Keemo’s most prized possessions. Phyllis noted that Jack was going back and forth between being curious and feeling like he was violating Keemo’s memory. She bluntly told him that Keemo was gone. She said this box wasn’t left here by accident – the person who sent the texts wanted him to go through it. She understood if he didn’t want her to go through this with him. She was trying to be supportive. She told him he couldn’t give up. She thought the answers he was looking for were here.

Phyllis thought they should go rest and get some food. Jack said that was a good idea, but he went back to the box. He found tickets to a Broadway show and wondered who Keemo took with him. He found more postcards from Vietnam, a decoration from a wedding, and a necklace. Jack flashed back to giving that necklace to Luan on Christmas 1995. She wished she’d found something good to give him. He said she already gave him the greatest gift of all – the son he’d always wanted.

Jack told Phyllis about giving the gift to Luan. After she died, Jack sent it to Keemo, along with some other keepsakes. Jack found a picture of himself and Luan at their wedding in the box. He cried because it was a sign that Keemo never completely erased Jack from his life.

Jack thought he’d lost Luan forever, but the stars aligned and they found each other. Keemo had been hurt when they tracked him down at first – he felt abandoned. Jack won Keemo over, and he’d been the best man at the wedding. That was why it hurt more when Keemo cut Jack out. The wedding had been a mix of American and Vietnamese traditions. Luan wore red. There was a flashback to the wedding. In the present, Jack said that it was a miracle that he found Luan. Again. “We were supposed to spend the rest of our lives together as a family.

Jack found a statement of paternity in Keemo’s things. It was something Jack had drawn up and gave to Keemo after the wedding. Phyllis said it must’ve meant something to Keemo. It made Jack wonder if he and Keemo could’ve reconciled if they’d seen each other face to face. Phyllis saw no need for Jack to torture himself with what-ifs. Jack still wondered what if he’d disregarded all those angry emails and stood firm. He said it was a parent’s job to know when your child needed you to push back and see that there were needs underneath all that anger. Phyllis didn’t think Jack should go down that path. It was also hard for her to watch him struggle with this when there was no solution. He wasn’t sure he could get closure without asking the tough questions. She understood, but she didn’t think this was the time. She thought they should deal with the real reason they came here – figuring out who was sending the texts. He agreed that they should focus. He picked up the photo again, and she wondered if one of the women in it was sending the text messages.

Found another doctor who gave info to Baldwin. Took care of all three of them,” the text Ashland received said. Victoria was waiting for Ashland when he walked into the office. She wondered what took him so long, since they both left Crimson Lights at the same time. He said he got caught up by a traffic light. Earlier, he’d told her that there was something he needed to tell her about her father. Victoria wanted to know what was going on. She asked what Victor said to him in private.

Ashland was hesitant because Victoria was close to her dad. She said he knew she had a complicated relationship with her father, and she didn’t need to be protected from his latest machinations. Ashland told Victoria that some quack was saying he’d lied about his treatment and falsified medical records and faked cancer. Ashland said that, for some reason, Victor trusted this person. Victoria thought that was insane. Ashland said it got worse – Victor was threatening to tell Victoria all this if Ashland didn’t disappear from her life. Ashland was adamant that he did not fake his cancer. Victoria said this was outrageous. Ashland agreed, and that was why he was telling her this. He didn’t trust her father. Ashland didn’t want Victoria to hear this news from anyone else. Victoria asked why Victor suddenly turned on Ashland. Ashland didn’t know, unless Victor honestly believed the lies from this horrible doctor. Victoria said she met with Ashland’s oncologist in NY, and she’d seen his medical records – there was no doubt he had cancer. Victoria was sure her father would come to her if he really believed this, so she couldn’t imagine what Victor was thinking.

Ashland said Victor was a protective father and protective mogul, and maybe he didn’t want someone without Newman blood running the company. Victoria said people outside the family had been the CEO of Newman Enterprises. Ashland said Victor might want him out of the company. Victoria couldn’t believe her father would think she would find Ashland capable of doing something like this. He said that he’d been called the Locke Ness Monster. She hated the name – it bore no resemblance to the man she loved. He said the name fit like a glove once, but he changed because of her.

Victoria said Ashland was self-made, and she had nothing to do with the man he’d become. He thought she underestimated the effect she’d had on him. She said he’d gone through a lot, and it gave him a new perspective. He agreed, but he said their love made him a better man. He was eternally grateful she’d banished that other side of him forever. She’d learned that you couldn’t change a person unless they wanted to be changed. She knew he’d made bad choices, but so had her family, her father chief among them. That was why she couldn’t believe and accept that Victor turned on her and Ashland.

At Newman Media, Sally had been hesitant about leaving fashion for the business world, but she found this invigorating. Sally shifted gears and asked Adam how he thought Victoria was doing. She noted that he’d said Victoria might be headed for heartbreak. At that point, Victor showed up wanting a private word with his son. Sally said she’d go to Society, and Adam said he’d join her when he was finished. She left. Victor hoped Adam kept the details of Ashland’s latest deception to himself. Adam saw that Sally and Adam were close, and she wasn’t known for her deception. Adam hadn’t said a word about Ashland faking his illness. Victor told Ashland to get out of town and leave Victoria, or else Victor would tell her everything.

Victor said that if Victoria found out Ashland used her for the merger, she’d be devastated. Adam said that she’d be devastated either way, unless Nick was right and Victoria forgave Ashland for this, just as she forgave him for everything else. Victor didn’t think that would happen, but he was trying to protect the family by insisting that Ashland get out of town. Victor thought that it would be easier for Victoria to get over being left than to learn that Ashland used her and that the wedding was all a ruse.

Victor said he hadn’t been able to contact Michael since he confronted Ashland. Michael had assured Victor that he was sending all the pertinent information by courier. Victor got a call from an investigator. Michael and the two Peruvian doctors had disappeared. Adam wondered if Ashland got to them. Victor said he was going to deal with it.

Lauren and Chloe were at Society. Lauren was missing Michael. She’d been hesitant about him taking this job for Victor, because she knew it would take a lot of time, but now he was in Peru, and he kept saying he was coming home soon, but that clearly wasn’t true. She’d been trying to contact him since last night, but he wasn’t responding. Chloe said, if Michael was anything like Kevin, he didn’t like texting at work. Lauren sent another text. Lauren needed a distraction, so she asked how Chloe and Chelsea were coming along with the Sally-free fashion label. Chloe said that she and Chelsea were a little behind for the summer deadline, but Chelsea had pulled strings, and she thought they’d meet their goals. Sally walked in and asked how Chloe’s new line was going. Chloe said it was in the beginning stages, but it was going great. Chloe asked about Sally’s job. Sally found her new niche – she was good at business, and she and Adam made a great team.

Lauren excused herself. Sally wondered if it was something she said. “No doubt,” Chloe said. Chloe was happy Lauren stepped away though, because she wanted to talk to Sally. Chloe loved working with Sally, and she was proud of what they created at Newman Fashion. Sally said things had been great until Chelsea got involved. Sally really enjoyed working with Chloe too, and she was sorry it didn’t last, but it seemed like everyone landed where they were supposed to. Chloe hoped Sally hadn’t given up on her dreams. Sally saw Adam walking in and said she hadn’t given up on them at all.

Adam asked if Lauren heard from Michael. Lauren said that, since Michael was on business for Adam’s father, it seemed like they’d know more about what Michael was doing than she did. Adam was sure Lauren talked to Michael more often than Victor did. Adam and Sally went to their table. Lauren was feeling even more worried after Adam’s fake nonchalance. She called Victor and asked if he’d talked to Michael. He said he had been in regular contact with him. She asked him to tell Michael to call her the next time they talked. The call ended. Lauren told Chloe that she didn’t feel any better.

Sally thought she should be included on what was going on with the Newmans, since she worked at the family business. Adam told Sally not to push it. He told her that, for her own protection, she didn’t want to be anywhere near this, because it might not turn out how Victor hoped. She asked if Adam would be affected if Victor’s plan failed. Adam doubted it would effect him in a bad way. He said that if Victor miscalculated and it created a rift with Victoria, the dynamic might change at Newman Locke, which might work in Adam’s favor.

Victor called Ashland. “No more stalling. You have one hour or I take everything I know straight to Victoria,” Victor threatened. “Do it. I’m not going anywhere,” Ashland replied.

Ashland received an ominous text stating that Michael and the doctors who gave him information had been taken care of. Ashland told Victoria that Victor had been taken in by some quack who was saying Ashland never had cancer. Victoria was sure Ashland had cancer, as she’d talked to his oncologist in NY.

Sally was happy about making the jump to the business world. Victor let Adam know about the ultimatum he gave Ashland. Adam wasn’t sure Victor’s plan would work. Lauren was becoming worried because she hadn’t been able to reach Michael. Chloe tried to keep Lauren positive.

Sally tried to get Adam to give her the details on the Newman family drama, and he told her that, for her own good, it was best that she didn’t know. Adam thought that if Victor’s plan failed, it would cause a rift with Victor and Victoria, and that might work in Adam’s favor.

Update written by Kathleen
Proofread by Suzanne

Sasha wakes up to find a shirtless Brando sitting on the side of the bed, holding two cups of coffee. They discuss how happy they are to be on vacation and to be together.

At the university, Trina’s teacher comes up to her after class. She is concerned that although Trina is doing well in the class, she is being very quiet. The teacher reminds her that class participation is part of her grade.

Outside a classroom, Cam asks Joss if things are still weird between her and Trina. She says Trina only comes back to their room to sleep and won’t return any of her texts or calls. They agree that things have been strange since they got back from the cabin. Joss says they are only getting worse, and she blames Esme.

Esme is at the Spring Ridge prison. She has flashbacks to setting up the phone at the cabin to video, switching phones and throwing away the pill bottle. Spencer is sitting at a table in the prison “lounge” reading “The Brothers Karamazov.” Esme comes up from behind him, kisses him and wishes him a belated happy birthday. He chastises her, saying she could get him into trouble if the wrong guard sees. She starts to leave but then turns around and asks why he is in such a bad mood.

Carly is behind the bar at the Metro Court, looking at her phone with an unhappy look on her face. Sam comes up and says that the day of hatchet-throwing must not have helped. Carly tells her it did help her blow off some steam, but she was sad today. She says she has been thinking about Courtney and holds up a phone with Courtney’s picture on it. She says that today is the anniversary of her death.

Sonny is standing over Courtney’s grave. He says her son is a full-grown man and has gotten into trouble. He tells her couldn’t be there last year on this day and he’s sure she knows why. He says that he knows she is always watching out for him. He wants her to know she is always in his heart. Just then, Nikolas walks up, holding flowers, and says she is always in his heart, too. They glare at each other.

Back at the Metro Court, Laura looks concerned as she sees Victor greet Ava with a kiss on the cheek. Victor declines Ava’s invitation to join her and Nik for brunch. Laura asks Victor if he has been keeping a low profile in order avoid being implicated in an ongoing investigation.

Drew and Anna come out of Kelly’s and comment on how cold it is outside. Drew says it was too bad they weren’t in PC during the heat wave. Anna says she wanted to talk to him because she is worried about him. She thinks Victors is up to something dangerous.

Back at the cemetery, Sonny tells Nik he didn’t expect to see him there. He responds that he loved Courtney and wanted to marry her. Sonny asks him, if Courtney had lived, does he think they would still be together. Nik first says, “yes,” but then says he doesn’t know. Sonny tells him that at least he’s being honest. He reminds him that she will always be the mother of his child – just like Carly will always be the mother of Sonny’s children.

At the Metro Court, Carly says that she feels like all her connections to Courtney are slipping away. Sam says that although she and Courtney were not friends, perhaps if she had lived, they could have become friends. If she and Elizabeth can be friends, anything is possible.

Victor tells Laura he has no idea what she is talking about. She flashes back to telling Sam her suspicions about the Ice Princess and Luke’s death. He asks her if she is trying to accuse him of having something to do with Peter. After Victor leaves, Laura asks Ava what is going on between them.

Back outside of Kelly’s, Anna tells Drew about Liesel bugging Victor and that she heard the conversation when Victor tried to activate Drew with the card. He asks if she’s talked about what Victor might be up to with Valentin because he usually has great insights. She says that she had informed him that Valentin had developed an infection and was being treated at a clinic out of town. Anna says she hopes that they can expose Victor before Valentin comes home. She fears that Victor will try and exploit the father-son relationship the way he does with the rest of his family.

At Spring Ridge, Spencer apologizes to Esme. He says he’s upset because it is the anniversary of his mother’s death,  and he can’t place flowers on her grave.

At the university, Trina is short with Joss when she asks about a class. Joss asks if Trina is still mad at her because of what happened the other day with Esme.

Back at the prison, Esme offers to place flowers at the grave for Spencer. He becomes upset that he can’t do it himself because of choices he made and that she doesn’t understand. She responds sarcastically  that Trina would.

Brando and Sasha are sitting on the bed, kissing. They decide to blow off their other vacation plans and stay in bed. They fall back on the bed, kissing.

At the cemetery, Sonny tells Nik that Courtney would have been a good mother. Nik says she would have been a good influence on Spencer. Maybe she could have negated some of the mistakes he made. When Sonny doesn’t respond, Nik tells him he is supposed to say he did the best he could. Sonny says he’s not going to lie. He doesn’t believe that.

Trina and Joss argue about the situation with Esme. When Joss mentions the book Spencer gave Trina, Cam questions her about it. Trina tells him it wasn’t a Valentine’s Day present; she just happened to receive in from Spenser via Laura on Valentine’s Day. Trina gets on Joss about not keeping confidences. Joss apologies for betraying her trust but won’t apologize for defending friends.

Spencer wonders why Esme never talks about her parents. She says she doesn’t like talking about them. She asks about the gift he gave Trina. He says he always gives thank you gifts because it’s easier than writing notes. It was just a coincidence that his grandmother gave it to her on Valentine’s Day. Victor walks up and apologizes for not visiting him on his birthday.

Ava asks Laura if she doesn’t trust her. Laura says it looked like she and Victor were too cozy. Ava says she doesn’t trust Victor.

Drew tells Anna he doesn’t understand what use he would be to Victor. Anna says she thinks Victor may think Drew has useful information.

Laura tells Ava that she can’t say anything negative about Victor to Nik or Spencer. It would only drive them closer to him. However, she knows Ava is smarter than that.

Sonny and Nik continue to discuss Nik’s parenting. Nik says he can’t change the past. Sonny tells him he should own and admit his mistakes and more forward.

Sam tells Carly things are great with Dante. Carly asks about her relationship with Drew. Sam says they decided they were better as friends and co-parents. She asks Carly why she is interested. She responds that she just wants to look out for him because he has been looking out for her recently.

Laura encourages Ava to get close to Victor in hopes he will slip up and say something about what he might be planning.

Back over at the bar, Carly tells Sam that Drew is easy to talk to. Laura walks up to talk to Sam. She tells her some details have come to light about Victor’s associate, Johann. She thought she should know because it involves Drew.

After walking away from Victor and Spencer, Esme looks down at a phone with a shot of Joss and Cam in bed. She says to herself, “time to get this done.”  Spencer complains to Victor about not being able to leave flowers on his mother’s grave but says he could do it if Victor would bust him out.

As Drew and Anna are discussing Victor wanting access to Drew’s old memories, Laura and Sam walk up. Laura tells Anna she thinks Drew has a right to know the truth.

Spencer tries to get Victor into arranging a furlough for him to visit the grave. He tells him they are Cassadines and family is everything.

Trina and Joss continue to argue. Trina tells Joss it’s not always about her. She should think about what she is going through. Esme walks up and says that they can cut the tension with a knife.

After Nik leaves, Sonny speaks to the grave. He tells Courtney he will watch out for Spencer, just like he knows she is watching out for all of his lost loved ones.

In bed, Brando and Sasha tell each other, “I love you.” They discuss how much better sex is in a bed instead of where they were the first time, in the backseat of a car. Sasha excuses herself to another room and takes some pills.

Joss tells Trina that she’ll skip class so they can talk some more. Trina tells her no, “maybe some other time.”

Nik comes into the Metro Court. He tells Carly that Courtney would be proud of what she has done with the hotel. She tells him he just missed his mother and that she seemed to be getting into it with Victor and Ava.

Anna and Laura tell Drew that they think Victor had something to do with Luke’s death. Drew wonders what it could have to do with him, since he barely knew Luke. Anna thinks that there are common threads. She suggests that they go to Austria to investigate. Laura thinks that could be risky. Sam says there could be another way.

Sasha, acting slightly under the influence, says she is loving their time away and dreads going back to real life. Brandon says he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. She says they should do it and get married today.

Sonny is getting out of an elevator at the Metro Court, just as Carly is about to get in.

Sam tells Drew that something in his past motivated Victor to help Peter escape. Laura wonders if Victor got a hold of Andre Maddox about Drew’s memories. Anna says she’ll contact him, but she is certain he would never reveal anything. They talk about setting some kind of trap for Victor.

Victor (still at the prison) is on the phone telling someone that he fears this is the calm before the storm.

Nik asks Ava what she and his mother were discussing. Carly had told him that it looked intense. She told him it was nothing – Laura just wanted to make sure she was taking good care of him. She suggests they invite Victor to dinner.

Spencer is at Courtney’s grave when Trina walks up, surprised, and wants to know why he is out of prison.

Joss, Cam and Esme are in class. The teacher is doing a presentation on a large screen. Esme picks up her phone. There is a screenshot of Joss and Cam in bed. As Joss gets up to leave class, Esme hits an upload file button on the phone.  The phones of everyone in the class start to go off,  and they start to laugh. The teacher asks what’s so important. One of the kids in the class transfers the video of Joss and Cam onto the large screen. Joss and Cam look horrified. Esme looks very pleased.

Interview with Hamza Haq and John Hannah

TV Interview!

John Hannah and Hamza Haq of "Transplant" on NBC

Interview with John Hannah and Hamza Haq of “Transplant” on NBC by Suzanne 3/1/22

This was a fun chat. I interviewed Hamza in 2020. It was great to meet John Hannah. He’s been in so many wonderful shows and movies that I love, like “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” “Damages,” “Spartacus,” “The Mummy,” “Alias,” and his starring role in “McCallum.”

Suzanne: How are you guys doing?

Hamza: Wonderful.

Suzanne: Nice to meet you, John.

John: Nice to meet you, Suzanne.

Suzanne: And Hamza. It’s great to see you again.

Hamza: Nice to see you too.

Suzanne: You cut your hair. I don’t recognize you.

John: Is that for work, Hamza?

Hamza: Yeah.

John: You working just now?

Hamza: Yeah, I just wrapped yesterday.

John: Okay, good, good. Sorry, Suzanne.

Suzanne: That’s okay. Is this a movie that you just wrapped?

Hamza: Yeah, I just dropped this surreal indie comedy movie that I’m filming here in Montreal, or Vancouver, rather, directed by Kim Albright and starring Anna McGuire. So, it was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun.

Suzanne: Does it have a title?

Hamza: It’s called With Love and a Major Organ.

Suzanne: That sounds like an indie title, doesn’t it?

Hamza: Very much, yeah.

Suzanne: Yeah, so when did you guys film season two? Because when I talked to you in 2020, you hadn’t started filming yet?

John: Yeah, we didn’t start until 2021. We were supposed to start late 2020, and then it got pushed and shoved and pulled and pushed, and we ended up starting late February 2020 – 2021, sorry, I’m all mixed up. This is ‘22 isn’t it?

Suzanne: Yeah. What year is it? I don’t know.

John: It’s just about a week ago. This time last year, actually.

Hamza: Yeah.

Suzanne: Oh, wow. Okay, that’s a long time. Do you remember what happened? It takes like a year. [laughs]

John: Well there were these doctors…

Suzanne: So, in the first episode Bash says everything changes, which seems to set the tone for the season, wouldn’t you say?

Hamza: I would. I did. Yeah, it’s just yeah, it there’re so many new elements that the wonderful thing about how it’s been written and how it was presented is that like any bit of comfort that anybody found in in season one is thrown into chaos in season two, right from the off. So, we see everybody just swim through that chaos.

Suzanne: Bishop actually had a pretty bad season one, because he was shot in the head, and then had a stroke.

John: I was drilled, but it saved my life. I made dumb choices.

Suzanne: It was funny, when I saw that with him drilling in your head, because there used to be a soap opera called Port Charles, and the very first episode was a spin off from General Hospital, very first episode, they had that same thing. The intern drilled with a regular drill into this woman’s head, and everybody’s like, “Oh, that’s ridiculous. That’s ridiculous.” Apparently, it’s no longer ridiculous.

John: I mean, it’s not necessarily the way doctors would choose to do it, but needs must, you know, when the devil rides.

Hamza: Like the equivalent of like tying a string to your tooth and closing the door when you need to extract, you know what I mean? It’s kind of the same thing. A dentist wouldn’t do it, but it worked.

Suzanne: Or like when they always seem to do a medical shows when somebody is having that problem breathing, and they stick the inner lining of the pen and tube, and then it happens so much. I’m sure it doesn’t happen that much in real life, but it always happened on every medical show.

Hamza: I haven’t I haven’t done it yet, but it’s early in the day.

Suzanne: So, there’re a lot of politics in this season. John, can you talk about what Bishop faces this season, all of the things that he faced?

John: Yeah, I mean, Bishop kind of played a bit fast and loose with what he should have done and should have declared and his own health in season one, and that got us to where it got him to, back in bed. And season two in a lot of ways is navigating through those choices, politics. It’s corporate politics, really, isn’t it? I mean, the medical profession is no different from any other corporation, and for somebody to get to the top, they have to be fairly skilled at kind of maneuvering as well as being talented at the hospital, at the medical stuff and man management. So, yeah, he deals a lot with that. And the second season, which is kind of interesting, I think that we have the medical procedures, the things that happen. We have the human side of it, and then there is this corporate shark infested water that is, again, perhaps from a liberal point of view, he’s cynically trying to manipulate to hold on to his position.

Suzanne: And we saw this guy come in, Mark Novak, while he was unavailable. Then, we saw, I believe, six episodes, and he leaves at the end. Does he come back later this season? Can you tell us if you’re allowed to?

Hamza: We’re not.

John: Are we not? [unintelligible] I think he’s there and it sets up this conflict in styles, and I think that that works well, in terms of the the jeopardy that it puts pressure upon his history with Novak. It also puts Hamza’s character in a lot of jeopardy as well, because, obviously, I have a sort of protective cloak around them. So, I mean, I think anybody who understands drama would look at it and say there’s a lot of potential there. So, chances are, he comes back.

Suzanne: Okay, and Hamza, your character, he’s actually doing pretty well at first, it seems like. He gets an apartment of his own, or house of his own, and his girl girlfriend – fiancé – comes back to life. And he’s got something going on there with Mags maybe, and then his fiancé shows up and kind of throws a wrench into that. What can you talk about this season with regards to that?

Hamza: Well, we see Bash struggle a lot with the life that he’s creating for himself versus the life that he thought he lost. It’s more about, obviously, in that respect, not any of the medical drama stuff, because there’s a lot of stuff that happens there as well, and Bash gets roped into the politics of the inner workings of the [unintelligible].

John: He’s in the firing line as well, isn’t it?

Hamza: Yeah, there’re a few things that happen where Bishop and Bash’s personal and professional relationship [is] tested quite a bit, in terms of how they’re gonna move forward, and the same can be said about Bash and Raniya, his fiancé who comes back. She’s a representation of a life that he had lost, and now, the potential to bring that up again, and to restart and pick up where they left off, it’s a very exciting thing for Bash, and it’s something that he jumps into head on. It’s not until a little bit later in the season that he starts to feel that maybe he wasn’t in the same mental and emotional space that he was five years ago, because he absolutely isn’t. Everything has, like I said, changed, and he’s now moved away from the man that he used to be, and we’ll see how it tests that relationship, not only with Raniya, but with his sister, Amira, and with Mags as well.

Suzanne: And I can’t wait to see what happens next with his little sister, because the last one I saw was when Raniya was leaving, I’m sure she’s not gonna be too happy about that.

Hamza: No, she is not. I can say that much.

Suzanne: Right, and at least he’s going through therapy now. So, that also probably puts him in a different place like you were talking about.

Hamza: Yes.

Suzanne: I don’t think I would want a doctor who’s having hallucinations. Maybe it’s just me.

Hamza: You don’t know; maybe they’re having them already. You never know. If he saves the life and you get the job done, then his hallucinations are his own business, you know? [laughs]

Suzanne: Yes, in TV. In real life, I don’t know about that. Maybe you might pick up something by accident. It’s not a drill when he needs to get your head, you never know. So, how many episodes total are there? I’ve seen six.

Hamza: There’s seven more to go.

Suzanne: Seven more. Oh, good. So, it is actually thirteen this season. That’s good to know. And anything else that you’d like to tell us about the season, or anything else you’ve got going on, John?

John: I mean, I just I think the show, it keeps twisting and turning, as you say. There’s the politics of it, which is the jeopardy that we’re both in, and that puts a strain on our relationship, our closeness, which I think’s natural. It shakes it up a bit. Everyone’s in jeopardy with what’s going on. The guy on the right has keep it going for the whole thirteen, I think. Hamza, you?

Hamza: Yeah, I just think that just from a storyline perspective, we got very lucky with season two that the writers gave so much richness to all the characters, and we really dive a lot deeper into everybody, and not just, you know, you’re talking to Bishop and Bashir now, but, for fans of the show, everybody across the board has a much richer, more well balanced, like, human story to tell. Like, we dive into Mag’s personal life. Theo’s exploring his, you know, the contentiousness of him being this traveling doctor, and his being apart from his family, and then the relationship between June and her father, and also like her struggle between the two surgical residents as well, or surgical attendings rather, and it’s just so much more well balanced and dives into an emotional depth and a storyline interest that we didn’t see in in season one across the board for everybody. So, I hope everybody appreciates that, because there was a concerted effort to make sure that we see these characters as full rounded humans, and having seen the second season, I think we achieve that.

Suzanne: And are you allowed to tell us whether your character and Mags are ever going to actually kiss?

Hamza: No, as in, “no, I’m not allowed to tell you.”

Suzanne: Okay, I have to figure that happens at some point.

John: [unintelligible] know that you don’t or know that you do?

Hamza: I’m not allowed to say.

Suzanne: Well, I think I’m gonna guess that they are, just because they keep coming so close, but you never know; it’s TV.

Hamza: Tune in next week to see more on Transplant! Will Bash and Mags kiss? Will Bishop finally get – you know?

Suzanne: We want to know these things. You’ve got to have those ships nowadays. And John, what about your character and Claire? Is there anything you can tell us about that?

John: Yeah, I mean, there’s a second chances. I think the theme for Bishop is very much second season, second chances, and that’s true for Claire. That’s true for his relationship with Claire as well, and maybe this is the right time for them to come together, but, again, there’re some twists and turns in that the difference between what you think you want, and what really happens is, you know, we maybe take those choices and then discover that it wasn’t right, or maybe we don’t take them and wish that we had. I don’t want to give too much away, but there is certainly a journey that they go on together, and they care for each other deeply. They’ve had a lot of time together. That doesn’t necessarily always make it an easy path, though. As Hamza was saying, [it’s] the second season, so we’re not introducing the character[s]. We know the refugee story. Hamza is now embedded in the hospital, and that allows the time to spread out with the other characters via Hamza, and as we get to know them spin off on those other stories, which I think gives the show a richer tapestry. Not at all Hamza to say that it wasn’t rich before, but as you were mentioning, it allows us to get to know those other characters also.

Hamza: One hundred percent.

Suzanne: All right. Well, thank you guys. I appreciate you taking the time today, and I hope you don’t have too many other press that you have to talk to and that you have a great rest of your day.

John: Oh no, it’s always a pleasure. I mean, we spend eight months doing the show. It takes ten minutes to talk to someone to get the word out there, and that’s what hopefully brings the audience in. So, thank you for talking to us.

Suzanne: Great, thank you so much. Bye.

Transplant

Sundays on NBC (10-11 p.m. ET); Season Premiere: March 6

“Transplant” follows the story of Dr. Bashir “Bash” Hamed (Hamza Haq), a talented doctor and Syrian refugee, who fled his war-torn country with his younger sister, Amira (Sirena Gulamgaus), for a fresh start in Canada. After a truck crashes into the restaurant where he’s been working, Bash earns the chance to practice medicine again by using his field-honed skills to save multiple lives in brilliant fashion, including that of Dr. Jed Bishop (John Hannah), the Chief of Emergency Medicine at York Memorial Hospital in Toronto.

But Bash is told he’ll need to redo his residency in Emergency Medicine from the bottom and despite his obvious talents intuition, and training, starting over is not an easy road and his life experience is not a perfect match for the strict protocols at York Memorial. Through perseverance he makes inroads, developing camaraderie with his new colleagues, including the driven Dr. Magalie “Mags” LeBlanc (Laurence Leboeuf), the reserved and ambitious surgical resident Dr. June Curtis (Ayisha Issa), easy-going pediatric ER physician Dr. Theo Hunter (Jim Watson), head nurse Claire Malone (Torri Higginson) and even earning the respect of Dr. Wendy Atwater (Linda E. Smith), the department’s second-in-command who runs a very tight ship.

Jed Bishop (John Hannah), the team’s demanding, inscrutable boss, looms large and keeps everyone on their toes with a unique compassion and commitment to his staff that also connects them.

Season two picks up with Bash and his fellow residents reeling after Dr. Bishop suffers a stroke. With everything at the hospital destabilized, the place that Bash had started to consider home suddenly feels precarious. As the team adjusts to new colleagues while dealing with the challenges of life, unexpected faces from the past leave Bash seriously doubting whether his transplant into this new world was successful.

Bash’s hard work, compassion and hopefulness tell a universal story about the human ability to not only survive, but ultimately thrive when our lives suddenly change course.

Creator Joseph Kay returns as showrunner and executive producer. Director Stefan Pleszczynski joins as executive producer and will direct six episodes. Additional executive producers include Bruno Dubé, Jocelyn Deschênes, Virginia Rankin, Tara Woodbury, Josée Vallée and Adam Barken.

“Transplant” is produced by Sphere Media in association with CTV and Universal International Studios, a division of Universal Studio Group.

Interview with Jeff Astrof

TV Interview!

Interview with Jeff Astrof of “Shining Vale” on Starz by Suzanne 2/7/22

It was really fun to talk to Jeff. I love talking to the writers, directors, showrunners, etc. because they are usually more knowledgable about the show and how it came into being. Actors are fun to chat with, but they generally only know about their character. This was part of a press junket for the show, so there were other reporters here asking questions. I’ve put mine first. He loves to talk, so I was only able to ask one question in the show time we had. When I left the chat, though, I said, “Thank you for not killing Roxy!”

Suzanne: Since it’s a horror as well as a comedy, usually in horror movies and shows people die. We’ve seen a lot of people who are already dead in the first five episodes we watched. Will we be seeing other people die?

Jeff: Yes, I guess I could say this. It was actually built into the script early on that one of the main characters dies…they revisited that and said, “We want to revisit it now that you’ve done it…Now that we’ve come to really kind of know and love this character, do we think there’s a different way?” I said, “No, absolutely not.”…I mean, that’s a good point; we’re dealing with potential ghosts and people, but the stakes have got to be higher…you know, I don’t love gore and horror. This person dies in a very tragic and symbolic way. It’s interesting, because on my last show, Trial and Error, in the first season I killed somebody, and they were shocked, and it happened kind of in a comic way in the distance, but this is like, I guess it’s an ironic way. It’s an homage to a horror movie, the way they die. It’s also like, one of the great things Sharon and I set to do in a certain way when writing it, I wanted to know how would I react if I were in a haunted house? Because usually people just do some really stupid things in the haunted houses, [and] that’s the fun; that’s the comedy of it. You know, we’re watching a show now. It’s like, “We’re going to sleep in the attic.” It’s like, “No, don’t. You know not to sleep in the attic under these weird carvings. No, don’t do that; something bad is going to happen.” So, it’s like how do we get these characters to do that? And a part of that was also casting the house and finding that house, which was just miraculous. Like you want a house that Terry could be like, “What a great deal,” and if you look at it from a slightly different angle, it’s like, “Don’t live there. Why are you living in that house?” So, that’s the balance we did. But yes, the short answer is somebody does die. It’s funny, the second season I don’t – oh, we’ll probably have someone die, maybe. I don’t know. It can’t be gratuitous. Everything has to go with with the story, but a couple of characters meet untimely fates.

Suzanne: And that’s a real house right? Somebody actually lives in the one that used in the pilot?

Jeff: Yes. So, Jeff Shane, our [incredible] set designer, rebuilt that house, like inch by inch and then more on the lot when it got picked up. I remember when we shot there, we thought there’s no way you’re going to be able to – first of all, we shot in South Pasadena for Connecticut; it was during COVID. So, everything was closed. You only had a certain number of days to shoot in Pasadena, or else I would have said, “Let’s buy the house,” but you can only shoot six days a quarter, so it would be very long season. It [would be] five years a season. And we found this house on MLS; somebody found the house on MLS, and they were selling it, and it was very obvious why it was still on the market. The woman also was a hoarder…And our producer at the time was somebody who was able to see dead people – not the reason she got the job, but happened to be, so she walked in the house and was like, “No way!” I’m like, “Okay.” We created it on a lot on three stages at Warner Brothers and then also added in different rooms. We have the hallways, you’ll notice the wallpaper from the Overlook Hotel, the kitchen from Rosemary’s Baby. There’s the wallpaper from The Yellow Wallpaper. We are very, very liberal with our references.

Question: Jeff, this is quite a balancing act for you. You’re mixing comedy and mixing horror and also real world ailments that people have. How do you maintain that balance, and so it doesn’t lean too far in either direction?

Jeff: That was the big challenge of it. It’s very funny, because, I usually have my counterpart, Sharon, on here to say that she was looking for somebody creepy and funny, and there was nobody creepier and funnier than I was. When we came out with the show, that was not a good look, that pull quote, for me…I wanted to work with Sharon, because I love her work, and I wanted to stay with something that was genre bending. I heard that she had said she wanted to do this. Aaron Kaplan, the producer, pitched it as The Shining as a comedy. I was like, “Well, yes.” Then, it was female driven…I read the quote about women being more than twice as likely as men to be possessed and depressed and the symptoms being the same. I was like, “I am all in on this.” It’s so funny, because during this interview process, we’re hearing like our versions of what the other person was like on the phone. She said, “I had this idea years ago, and no one was excited about it, except for you.” I was like, “Oh, wow.”…She said, “How can you do comedy and horror? They play different paces, they play different, like, frames, you know, how the shot is framed. Usually, the actor has to play a certain way, and it’s scored differently.” I just know that after you go to a horror movie, after you scream, the audience laughs, and I was like, “Okay, so, it’s the same continuum.” I’ve been telling jokes for so long, and I was like, this is a new way to get a reaction.

I was given two writers for the first season. One was a horror writer, and one was a comedy writer. The horror writer saw the pilot and said, “This is my first comedy,” and the comedy writer saw the pilot and said, “This is my first drama.” So I was like, “Okay, something for nobody here.” And that’s been the thing. My first pitch to Sharon was that we write a comedy and we shoot like a horror. In order for it to have legs, and this is my horror writer, her name is Jill [unintelligible] said, “The challenging thing about horror is like, in a season two of a horror, if it’s a house horror, it’s like, ‘just fucking move.’ ” You know, I mean? So, the challenge is, you have to have that in your mind, that the audience is not going to say, “Just move.”

So, from the beginning, it was like, “Is this playing in Pat’s head, or not?” That is consistent. That’s one of the rules, like with Rosemary is that we only see Rosemary from Pat’s point of view, and she has to be in a certain state of mind. I think at this day and age, I look at what I like, and when I watch, and I don’t know that I’m watching any comedy right now. It’s just like I wanted to create something that I would watch and something that was engaging, and in order for it to be a good comedy, you have to have stakes, and the stakes of this are either a woman’s soul or her mental health, and for the family – I came from a broken home, myself, or divorced house, and it’s like there’s a lot of trauma there, and I like writing about trauma. And, again, with higher stakes can come bigger laughs. I think once we cast it, I think that we were able to do that.

Question: I’m enjoying it so far.

Jeff: Great. Thank you so much.

Question: …STARZ, which has this wonderful, wonderful program has a lot of shows that I really, really love. Did you know outright this [was] not a traditional network kind of show when you were helming it, that maybe it was going to go to a great pay channel like Starz?

Jeff: So, we actually developed it – yes, we knew it wasn’t. I work for Warner Brothers, and the lights are kept on at Warner Brothers, really, by the multi cameras that have been there as long as I have been, and that was a model that, really for most of my career, Warner Brothers was afraid of leaving, and obviously, things change.

My last show I developed actually, [was] right on the cusp. It was a procedural comedy called Trial and Error, and it should have gone to Netflix. Back then they were like, “No, I mean, the place that ships DVDs in the mail? No.”

So, this one, I knew, and with Sharon also. Like, one of the things that comes with Sharon, is she has a pedigree that is like – she doesn’t do network stuff. I mean, not that she hasn’t tried and, obviously, there’s money in network and stuff, but like, this is like, I knew the subject matter. We pitched this to network and ABC, but we knew this was going to be streaming and that we wanted to really blow it out. This is my first thing for streaming. The biggest thing was writing without act breaks, actually like constructing a story. That’s why I put it in the title cards, which is just really a cheat, because that’s where the commercials would go. So, that’s just a little inside baseball, don’t tell anybody, because that’s what I’m used to writing, the three act and four act structure…Basically the show is like a three act show, but yes, it had to be a high end show.

We originally developed it for Showtime, and then Showtime thought it was being developed for Sharon, and they said, “Well, we wanted the vehicle for Sharon,” and we’re like, “Well, this is not Sharon.” So, Aaron Kaplan said, “All right, well, we’re taking it back; someone has to love this,” and Starz swooped right in and from the very first second. They were just like, “This is this is how we want to brand our network for comedy.”

Then, once we cast the cast, also, it just became such a pedigree. So, I would say, real kudos for Starz…Their notes have always been very, very smart, but very, very limited too, and they just want to let us run with it. We knew that from the beginning Shannon and I were going to create something here that there’s no model for, so sometimes a network will look at that as an excuse to try to foist a paradigm onto it, but this was just like, we hope that people copy this and then use us as a [model]…So, God bless stars for giving us all this rope to play with.

Question: As far as casting, how did how did Greg, Courtney, and Mira come on board?

Jeff: So, that was an incredible story, because everybody thought that I’d written the part of Pat for Sharon, and that was never any of our intentions. I just had Pat in mind, and we were going to cast that. Then, after we came out with it, and it got picked up, we were talking about casting it and were going around some usual suspects, some not so usual suspects. The person Pat was written [as was] initially like 40 something years old, and that was just the prototype we had in our mind.

Then, Courtney calls me. I get a 213 call. Only my sister and spammers are 213. Who’s going to [call from] 213? It’s like, “Hey, Jeff. It’s Courtney. Listen, I read the script Shining Veil, and you wrote it for me. I want to do it.” I’m like, “Who is this?” She says, “Courtney.” It’s like, “Courtney who?” She said, “Courtney Cox.” I said, “Courtney, I haven’t spoken to you – Last time I [spoke] to you, cell phones hadn’t even been invented yet.” She’s like, “Sorry, I got your number. I read the script. I’m doing all this press; we’re doing a Friends reunion. I was thinking about you. I got the script. It was written for me; I have to do it.” And I was like, “Okay, I know you’ve done Scream,” and one of the reasons her name didn’t come up initially was because she had done Scream, and we wanted to have our own kind of like niche, and we thought like, “Okay, if Courtney does it, we’ve seen her do horror.” Obviously, they’re still shooting these things, the Screams, and she’s very successful at that. And she said, “No, this is something I’ve never done before, and it’s just really in my voice. It’s like you wrote it for me, and I have to do it.”

So, I went back to Sharon and Aaron and the other producers like, “Courtney wants to do the show. I guess Courtney is doing the show.”

And we were a little bit nervous too, because our director, Dearbhla Walsha, she had just come off Fargo. She’s like, “I don’t want to do Scream,” and now we have the star of Scream. I hadn’t seen Courtney really do drama, but oh my god, like and then I met Courtney with her daughter and I was like, “Okay, I know how to write this.” She’s just so warm and so deep and so hard working, and she’s like, “I have this part; trust me,” and she did.

Then, as soon as we cast Courtney, you know, it’s always that one piece of the puzzle. Then, once we cast Courtney, like we’re like, “Okay, we know the age range. We’re going mid 50s, somewhere, early to mid 50s.” Then, Greg’s name came up, and we called him, and he’s like, “I love Courtney, and I love this part.”

And Greg is so funny, because Greg, even up until a half hour ago, Greg always loves it and is concerned about how to repeat it. He’s like, “Listen, season two -” I’m like, “Greg, are you really pitching us season two? Like, do the press.” He’s so into it, and we had a long talk with Greg about it, and Greg loved it, and he’s like, “I really want to work with Courtney, and I think we’d be a good couple.” And sure enough, their chemistry was great.

Then, originally, we wrote this out; we have Greg and Courtney, and the part of Rosemary has one line in the pilot. Now, I always had big plans for Rosemary. As you see, it evolves, but everyone was like, “She’s basically a little more than the cartoony ghost, like the eyes moving in the picture.” But then Mira got a hold of it and was like, “I really want to do this; I really want to be involved.” Then, it’s like, “Well, if Mira wants to be involved – ” Mira’s like, “Whatever it takes.” It’s like, “You know, you’re not number one on the call sheet.” She’s like, “I really need to do this.”

Mira and I talked for a while…Mira’s dad has the distinction of being one of two people my dad told not to quit the business and move to Hollywood on the second one. They were good friends growing up, Paul Sorvino and my dad. We just talked about the character and Mira was – again, I don’t know where and how much Mira’s character’s revealed in what you’ve seen, but Mira also had a lot to prove, and she thought this was a great vehicle for her, and she brought so much to it. Then, we were like, “Oh my god, I have a an Oscar winner, Emmy nominee, Oscar nominee, like, just get out of the way.” And that’s what happened.

It was one advantage of the fact that I’ve been doing this for thirty years that they had a trust of me, and Sharon, of course, and it was really, really nice. I mean, it’s like, at any given time, I’ll get a call from movie actors talking about the show and what they want to do. Certainly Greg [has] a lot of ideas, and they’re terrific, and it’s so nice to see other people seeing it, because we had no idea. Like we just did this, and the only people I saw who’ve seen it have been people who are friends and family and, certainly, when we saw the chemistry that they had and the challenge in season two, which we’re starting to conjure up, is getting Mira in scenes with the rest of the family too, since right now she can only be seen by Pat.

Question: Oh very cool. And, I mean, Judith Light too.

Jeff: Oh my god, Judith Light, I love Judith Light. Once we had Judith also, and then, it’s very fun, because we cast Judith, and then we saw Judith and were like, “Oh my god, she looks exactly like Ganyor, so, it’s like, “Let’s run with that storyline.”

Then, the two of them together were [fantastic]. I love the kids. I love all of our cast. There’s not a single person where I’m just like, “Oh, how are we gonna write that?”

It’s a shame that we have to kill one of them, but I will tell you this, “Not Roxy.” When I talked about that, anybody can die in the show except Roxy. It has gotten such pushback. Like it’s one of the things that people do who are possessed is they cause harm to animals, and that was a red line. Starz is like, “You do whatever you want. Do not mess with that dog.” That’s the only red line there is.

Here is the audio version of it.

SHINING VALE

Season 1 8 Episodes 2022

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

Jeff Astrof is a producer and writer, known for Trial & Error (2017), In-Laws (2002) and The New Adventures of Old Christine (2006). He has been married to Shawni Modrell since May 28, 2000. They have two children.

    It remains the largest mass suicide ever on American soil: 39 people in Rancho Santa Fe, California, took their own lives because they believed a UFO would carry them to a higher level of existence for all eternity. Why did so many kind, intelligent people, including nurses, veterans, even a valedictorian, leave their daily lives, careers, families, friends and even young children behind? ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer and team decode the mysteries behind the Heaven’s Gate cult. The two-hour special edition of “20/20” examines the secrets and backstory of Marshall Applewhite — the cult’s compelling leader — his powerful partner and co-founder, and the controlling world they created for their followers. In 1997, Sawyer had the exclusive interview with Rio DiAngelo, a member who left the group before the tragedy to serve as a messenger to the world. 23 years later, Sawyer interviews him again. The special features exclusive never-before-seen tapes and intimate audio recordings of the cult leader, his followers, interviews with former members emerging from the shadows, loved ones of deceased followers and authorities who worked on the grisly case.

    In the moments after snake breeder Ben Renick was found dead, investigators thought he might have been the victim of an attack by one of his prized reptiles. But he wasn’t. It was worse, much worse. Peter Van Sant and 48 HOURS investigate Renick’s death and the trail that led to a person in his life who was more dangerous and more slippery than any reptile in his care in “The Poisonous Wife” to be broadcast Saturday, March 12 (10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+.
    On a hot day in June 2017, Lynlee Renick called 911 to say her husband was face down in a pool of blood. She said she found him in his snake facility, which was home to more than 3,000 reptiles, some worth thousands of dollars.
    “Someone being killed by a snake is not something that happens every day, especially in Missouri,” says coroner Dave Colbert.
    It turns out that someone being killed by a snake didn’t happen that day, either. That’s because Ben Renick was shot multiple times. But by whom?
