Recap written by Christine

At Newman Media, Ashland, donned a pair of rubber gloves and began to type something into Adam’s laptop.

At Newman Locke, Victoria had a new plan to deal with Ashland in the way he needed to be dealt with. She told Victor, Nikki, Adam and Nick that they all had a role to play, and they had to make it look real. Victoria convinced Ashland that she believed he’d been set up. She said that Adam had the naked ambition, the animosity toward Ashland, the history of deception, and he’d even lied about his own health crisis, and that made him the perfect suspect. Adam didn’t like the idea of being thrown under the bus. Victoria said it was for the good of the company. Adam thought it was clear that Victoria would benefit from this too. Victoria asked Adam to put aside their differences and look at the whole picture. She said this would stay in the family, and he wouldn’t take the fall for anything, the way she did when he framed her for tampering with Victor’s medication. He assumed she thought he owed her one. Nick thought that Adam did owe Victoria. Adam snapped that no one asked Nick. Victoria said that Adam’s role in this was crucial. A triumphant Michael walked in and said he’d found an obscure morals clause, of sorts, that would give them grounds to nullify Ashland’s contract. Adam guessed that the plan was to catch Ashland in the act of planting evidence against Adam, then use that to fire him. “You’re using the same aborted plan as Billy did on your own husband,” Adam said. Victoria realized that they were similar plans. Adam it was a good parallel. Adam said that in order for this to play out correctly, he’d need to stay on as temporary CEO. Victor said there was no reason for Adam to stay on now that Victoria and Ashland weren’t going to Italy. Nick asked how Victoria was supposed to get Ashland to buy this – Ashland was a lot of things but he wasn’t stupid. Adam said that, in order to fall from grace, he needed somewhere to fall from. Adam said Victoria could tell Ashland that Victor kept Adam in charge because she kept siding with Ashland. Adam said that once the fake truth about him framing Ashland came out, Victoria could have Victor fire him. He thought that would significantly improve Victoria’s plan. Adam got an alert that someone was trying to get into his computer. They all knew it was Ashland. Victor told Adam to remotely change the firewall setting so that Ashland could access the system.

Adam said he’d lock Ashland back out of the laptop unless he was allowed to stay on as interim CEO. Victoria said Adam’s idea was sound, so they’d run with it. She’d tell Ashland that Victor insisted Adam stay in the role and that she didn’t fight it hard because it was a way to keep an eye on Adam. Adam said he’d be the sacrificial lamb, and Victoria said she’d be the cheerleader. Nick had a lot of concerns, but he didn’t voice them. Nikki was worried for Victoria. Victoria was sure she could handle it. Victor said Ashland was a desperate man, and Victoria’s plan played into his delusions. Michael and Victoria spoke, and it was revealed that, like Victor, she’d approached Michael and asked him to find a loophole in the contract that they could use to push Ashland out. Victoria was glad they were all on the same page. Nick was just glad Victoria understood Ashland for who he was. Adam said they were going up against a shrewd clever man, who’d escaped accountability for his whole life, so they had to be careful and vigilant, which meant never underestimating their opponent.

After Adam left, Victor congratulated Michael on doing good work. Michael was eager to see Ashland, the man who had him locked up, go down. Michael left. Victor said they’d all follow Victoria’s lead. Victoria wasn’t sure they could count on Adam, whose first concern was hanging onto his shiny new title. She said he only cared about what was best for him, not the family. Victor geared up to defend Adam. “Do you really not see what’s going on here? By putting him in charge, even if it’s temporary, you gave him a taste of that power again. Worst yet, you gave him hope,” she said. Victor was sorry Victoria saw it that way. Nick thought Victoria was right. Victoria said she and Adam had been adversaries from the beginning, and now he had a vested interest in seeing her fail. Nick left. Victor promised Victoria he’d keep Adam in line. Victoria knew Victor would try, and she said she couldn’t ask for more. Nikki vowed to make the plan work because Ashland didn’t deserve Victoria, or a place in the family or the company. Victor adored and supported Victoria. Victoria said she’d been devastated when she accepted what Ashland did, but she knew that she had to be the one to fix it. Victoria had felt shame, hurt and anger. Nikki comforted Victoria when she started to cry.

Back at Newman Media, Ashland was pleased when Adam’s computer unlocked. He typed some things and took a few pictures of the laptop screen. Sally came up and found the office door locked. She called for Adam. Adam came up, and Sally asked why the door was locked. He signaled her that something more was going on, then he said – loudly enough for Ashland to hear – that it had been a long day, so they should go somewhere else.

Sally and Adam went to Society, and he brought her up to speed on Victoria’s plan. He admitted it was a decent plan that had already been put in motion. Sally said this plan gave Adam leverage. Adam agreed. “I made it clear that before I let Ashland past the firewall, if I agreed to be this pretend-patsy that they have to keep me on as temporary CEO,” he crowed. He said he pitched it as if he was trying to be the ultimate team player and improve Victoria’s plan. “Well played,” Sally said. Sally thought Adam should get to be co-CEO for the pivotal role he was playing in ousting Ashland. Adam doubted that would happen. “If they aren’t prepared to show you the respect that you deserve, well it seems to that there were plenty of ways Victoria’s plan could go south,” Sally said. Nick showed up wanting to talk to Adam. Adam said that Sally knew everything, so Nick could speak freely. Nick was there to make sure Adam could be trusted.

Adam asked what he could say to convince Nick. Nick needed to know Adam would play his part. “My assigned role, you mean?” Adam replied. Nick said this wasn’t a game, and there was more at stake than Adam’s future. “You mean Victoria’s future,” Sally replied. Adam thought Sally summed it up well. Adam was sorry for Victoria, but she made her bed when she chose to trust Ashland, and the consequences could affect all the Newmans and on Victor’s legacy. Nick felt concerned Adam was willing to jeopardize everything Victor worked for for his (Adam’s) on personal gain. “Do you really think that I’m capable of screwing over the whole family to take what isn’t mine?” Adam asked. “Absolutely,” Nick replied. Nick conceded that Adam had changed, though.

“You admit that I have changed, but you still don’t trust me,” Adam stated. Nick had seen Adam make an effort to change, and he’d seen Adam be selfless, but he knew this was the kind of situation that brought out the worst in Adam. Nick contended that Adam struggled in situations that related to which child was Victor’s favorite and whether Adam would ever be able to prove himself to the old man. Nick said Ashland represented a different threat to the family, and no matter how messed up they were at times, the family always showed up for each other. Always. Nick acknowledged that Adam saved Faith’s life and risked his own to make sure she made it to the hospital, and then he gave her a kidney. Nick hoped that was the Adam who showed up to bring Ashland down. He also hoped Adam would be willing to take a look at the bigger picture for the family – for Adam’s family.

At Crimson Lights, Ashland ran into Michael and welcomed him home. He assumed Michael’s trip was productive, since Victor had bought into the stories about Ashland faking his illness. Michael stated that he’d had a productive trip, until he’d been thrown in jail. Ashland said Michael must’ve pissed off the locals. Ashland noted that Michael didn’t look worse for wear. Ashland said he was going to prove he was set up, and Michael and the others would realize they were wrong about him. Michael was dying to see how this turned out. Victoria met Ashland after Michael left. She told him she let her family know they were close to discovering who was behind the smear campaign. Victoria said there was bad news – Victor was keeping Adam on as CEO, even though the flight to Tuscany was canceled. Ashland was frustrated, and he asked what Victoria said. She said first she pushed back hard, then she figured they could use it to their advantage – they could keep tabs on Adam while they proved he was the one targeting Ashland. She said she wouldn’t back down and let her family drive him away from her. He thanked her for believing in him. He had some ideas to prove his innocence, but he didn’t want to talk about them right now. She urged him to tell her so she could help. He said he trusted her, but sometimes he had to work through things on his own.

Back at Newman Locke, Nikki worried about Victoria’s physical safety and emotional well being because she had to swallow her true feelings and endure spending time with Ashland. Victor promised he wouldn’t let Victoria get hurt. He respected and admired Victoria for wanting to take the lead, and he was going to let her do it.

At his place, Billy did a recording on the blindness of love. He said when we loved someone, we tended to overlook their flaws. He said maybe it wasn’t love – it could be infatuation, lust, daddy or mommy issues. He said no one was immune to this. He wondered how love cloud the judgment of an otherwise rational intelligent person. He asked what people should do when they saw someone in love with an illusion. Lily came downstairs and heard Billy. She asked if this was for the podcast. He wasn’t sure. She knew that he’d been talking about Victoria. He said if she could tell, the Newmans would know too, so this wasn’t the best subject for a podcast. Billy wasn’t sure if he should stick his nose in Victoria’s issue or stay out. He and Lily were sickened that Ashland faked cancer. “Victoria needed to confide in someone, right, and she didn’t want to go to her family because the Newmans are who they are so she came to me,” Billy said. Lily was glad Billy was there to listen. Billy had been sure Victoria would kick Ashland to the curb, and she didn’t. Nick had asked Billy to talk to Victoria again, and Billy said he didn’t think it would do any good since Victoria would handle this the way she wanted to. Lily said Billy was right – this was Victoria’s problem, and she needed to figure out how to handle it.

“In spite of everything that’s happened between [you and Victoria] in the past,” Lily began. Billy interjected that this was a polite way of saying all the hell he put Victoria through. That wasn’t what Lily meant. She said Victoria trusted that Billy had her best interests at heart. Lily knew Billy didn’t seek this out, and Victoria laid this on him out of the blue, but she said he didn’t have to rush in and be Victoria’s protector. Billy said it wasn’t just that – he didn’t want Ashland around the kids. Lily said Victoria would never put the kids in danger. Lily thought part of Billy felt responsible for Victoria’s safety, but she said he wasn’t, and she thought he needed to work that out. Lily knew Victoria was in a terrible situation, and it was stirring up protective feelings in Billy. However, she suggested that instead of getting drawn into it, he find a way to contain those feelings. He told her he didn’t have romantic feelings for Victoria. Lily knew that, she wasn’t saying this out of jealousy, she loved Billy, and she was proud of the progress he made, and she was here for him while he dealt with all this. He said she was the smartest, most amazing, most supportive woman he knew, and he was grateful they found each other. They kissed.

Update written by Joseph

Shawn gets a call from the lab. Shawn hangs up and confirms to Belle that Jan’s baby is his. Shawn tries to reach out but Belle warns him not to touch her.

Ciara goes to Sweet Bits Bakery but finds that it is closed, so she wonders why they aren’t open. Ciara spots Ben in the town square and goes to greet him. Ciara says Clyde told her that he was at work. Ben says he was but had to get parts for an engine rebuild, then asks what Ciara is doing. Ciara explains that Allie told her that the cake for the party would be ready today but the bakery isn’t even open. Ben complains that they can’t have a gender reveal party without a cake. Ciara wonders where Allie could be..

Johnny remains tied up in the DiMera Crypt, pleading for someone to come help him.

Abigail follows the footprints to the Crypt and wonders why Allie would come here as she prepares to head inside.

Devil Allie goes home where Chanel rushes up to hug her, telling her that she’s so glad to see her as she was worried that something really bad had happened to her. Allie claims that she’s fine. Chanel hugs her again and thanks God that she’s home as Devil Allie smiles with yellow eyes behind Chanel’s back.

Ben offers to take Ciara to breakfast but Ciara says no, even though Clyde insisted. Ciara worries about hurting Clyde’s feelings and says Clyde is falling over himself wanting to help and even offered to build a baby cradle. Ben agrees that he’s trying a little too hard. Ciara states that Clyde wants to be involved in the baby’s life, but admits that she doesn’t like that idea at all.

Clyde asks when EJ got out and on what grounds. EJ explains that his attorney was able to prove he had been framed this morning. Clyde jokes about being EJ’s first stop. EJ assures that he wasn’t his first and this visit is anything but flattered. Clyde feels they said everything they needed to. EJ says their terms don’t work for him now that he’s free.

Chad shows up and scares Abigail before she enters the Crypt, causing her to scream. Chad explains that he saw the door open and wanted to find out what she was up to. Abigail explains that she was just looking for Allie. Abigail reminds Chad that the doors were open yesterday and nobody has heard from Allie since last night. Abigail adds that she looked out the window and saw footprints, so she followed them to the Crypt. Chad questions what reason Allie would have for being inside the Crypt.

Johnny encourages himself to focus and find a way out of the Crypt. Johnny complains that the Devil is after Allie and Chanel.

Allie assures Chanel that she’s fine and is sorry for worrying her. Chanel notes that Nicole was worried too and asks if she’s sure she’s alright. Allie says yes, so Chanel asks what happened to her. Allie thinks back to fighting with the Devil in Johnny.

Shawn tells Belle that she knows he never meant to sleep with Jan and this baby is his worst nightmare too. Belle tells him to get out of her way as she’s going back to the office. Shawn asks if they can keep talking after work. Belle doesn’t think there is anything left to say, so she’s going back to her parents’ place tonight. Shawn thought that was just for last night and asks Belle if she’s moving out and leaving him. Shawn argues that the Devil played with their heads. Belle continues to complain about Shawn not telling her that he had sex with Jan Spears. Shawn argues that he wanted to forget being tricked in the worst way. Shawn then reminds Belle that he’s not the first person in this marriage to sleep with someone and lie about it. Belle questions him going there. Shawn explains that when he slept with Jan, he thought it was Belle, but when Belle slept with Philip, she knew exactly what she was doing.

Johnny thinks back to being married to Chanel as he struggles with the chains.

Chad tells Abigail that she doesn’t know these are Allie’s footprints. Abigail says if not, then she’s missing. Abigail wants to go look in the Crypt just in case, so Chad agrees to go with her, but Abigail then gets a text from Chanel, saying that Allie is fine.

Chanel calls Nicole to confirm Allie is home and fine. Chanel thanks her for everything and hangs up. Allie questions why Nicole was so worried when she sent her a text that she wasn’t coming home. Chanel points out that Allie texted her that she would be here. Allie claims she just wanted to be alone. Chanel says they didn’t know that and she even went by the DiMera Mansion earlier to try and figure out where she was. Chanel mentions that Abigail said Allie had come looking for Johnny. Allie confirms that she found him so Chanel asks what happened.

Ciara hopes there is nothing wrong with the cake. Ciara checks the time and says she has to get to Shawn and Belle’s because Shawn promised to help Julie with decorations for the party. Ben says he was going to say he would ask Clyde for help but that’s probably not a good idea. Ciara then reveals that she actually invited Clyde to the party because she felt uncomfortable not inviting him and didn’t want to hurt his feelings. Ben says that’s sweet of her and he knows Clyde can get pushy and try too hard. Ben thinks they should try to give Clyde the benefit of the doubt. Ciara promises she will try because Ben is the love of her life and she knows how important it would be to him if his dad actually has changed. Ciara says she’s just a little overprotective. Ben agrees to talk to Clyde to tell him that he doesn’t have to try so hard to prove himself to them and to make sure he backs off a little bit.

Clyde offers to cook breakfast for EJ. EJ argues that the last time they tried to coexist peacefully, he took a bullet. Clyde asks how they should work this out then. EJ responds that one of them needs to disappear. EJ declares that he left town last time, so now it’s Clyde’s turn. EJ reaches in to his jacket so Clyde questions if he’s going to shoot him. EJ says he’s far more civilized. EJ reveals the DiMera Jet is fueled up and waiting, so all he has to do is pack a bag and tell the pilot where to take him. Clyde questions how to leave when he gets there. EJ says he will see to it that Clyde has the funds to start a new life, as long as that life is nowhere near his. EJ asks what Clyde says but then Ben comes home and asks what he says about what.

Belle questions Shawn bringing up her past mistakes when he’s having a baby with Jan. Belle says she apologized over and over again. Shawn argues that he’s apologized too and continues to apologize for the Devil making Jan look like Belle, that Jan is pregnant, and that he didn’t tell her the minute she walked in. Shawn adds that he only brought up Philip because he forgave her for that, so he asks if Belle can forgive him now.

Allie tells Chanel that she and Johnny had a huge fight about her and telling Tripp about them and every other horrible thing he did. Chanel asks how he took it. Allie asks how she thinks and admits it got pretty ugly as most of their fights do. Chanel asks how it ended. Allie remarks that Johnny’s lucky she didn’t kill him, but he’s still at the DiMera Mansion. Chanel asks where she went after that. Allie claims that she went driving all night as she needed to think about them. Chanel asks what about them. Devil Allie then suggests maybe they shouldn’t see each other anymore.

Johnny complains that he’s never going to get out of here. Johnny then sees his dead uncle Andre. Johnny at first believes it’s Tony and tries to ask him for help before he reveals that he is actually his uncle Andre.

Allie tells Chanel that they rushed in to this and Tripp and Johnny don’t like it. Chanel argues that they don’t need anyone’s blessing. Allie says that being with Chanel has ruined her relationships with Tripp and Johnny and they were important to her. Chanel questions them being more important than she is. Allie says she’s sorry about that. Chanel brings up all the times Allie said Johnny can go to Hell. Allie doesn’t expect anyone to understand what’s between her and her brother.

Johnny argues that Andre is dead and tries to convince himself that he’s dehydrated and in shock, so he’s seeing things that aren’t there. Johnny calls this impossible since Andre is dead. Andre asks if he’s questioning the Devil’s power after all he’s been through. Andre says that the Devil sent him here and talks about making some unfortunate choices during his lifetime. Andre says Abigail ended his days on earth so there was only one possible destination for his poor corrupt soul and he became the indentured servant to the Devil himself. Andre reveals that the Devil sent him here to deal with Johnny. Johnny asks what he’s going to do with him.

Chad and Abigail return to the living room. Abigail is glad Allie is okay and hopes Johnny is too. Chad wonders what Johnny is up to and notes that he’s been weird ever since breaking up with Chanel. Abigail points out that EJ is back so maybe he can deal with it. Chad is surprised to learn that EJ got out so soon but says that’s great. Abigail talks about how she can’t believe Belle put the phony evidence on EJ’s computer and says she’s lucky she didn’t get disbarred. Chad jokes that she has the defense that the Devil made her do it. Abigail says it’s not funny and what she did to EJ was awful. Chad says “I guess” which Abigail questions. Abigail asks what Chad knows.

Clyde claims to Ben that EJ just offered him a job. Ben questions what EJ gets out of giving Clyde a job. Clyde explains that they were cellmates in Statesville so they got to know each other really well. Ben asks what the parole board thinks of an ex-con going to work for another ex-con. EJ clarifies that he’s not an ex-con as his conviction was overturned. Clyde talks about learning a lot about who you can trust in prison because having the right person back you up can keep you alive. Clyde adds that EJ knows that business on the outside can be just as cutthroat. Clyde then states that he’s going to have to say no to EJ’s offer because he made it clear that taking the job would require him moving away from Salem and he can’t do that because it would violate the terms of his parole. Clyde adds that he’s looking forward to becoming a grandpa when Ben and Ciara’s baby arrives. EJ responds that he’s very disappointed as he then walks out of the apartment. Ben asks if Clyde wants to tell him what that was all about.

Shawn asks Belle to say something. Belle responds that it’s not just about forgiving him because he and Jan are going to have a child and that child will tie him to her for the rest of his life. Belle doesn’t know if she can live with that. Ciara walks in but asks if she’s interrupting something. Belle says no as she was just leaving and then hurries out of the house. Ciara tells Shawn that she brought everything he needs to decorate Doug and Julie’s place for the party. Ciara adds that Doug and Julie are very excited about having another great grandchild. Shawn remarks that they will be twice as excited when they hear his news that she’s not the only Brady having a baby. Ciara is shocked and questions how Jan is having his baby when Belle said she walked in before they slept together. Shawn says that’s what he told her but he lied because he wanted to pretend like it never happened. Ciara tells him that she’s so sorry and asks how he’s going to fix it. Shawn doesn’t know since Belle is shutting him out. Ciara suggests staying at John and Marlena’s will give Belle time to think and they will convince her to give him a next chance. Shawn worries that John and Marlena are not the only ones that she’s turning to right now.

EJ goes to the Brady Pub and finds Belle drinking at the bar. EJ comments on it being a bit early since it’s not even noon. Belle responds that she just found out her husband is having a baby with Jan Spears, so she questions when it’s acceptable to start drowning her sorrows. EJ tells her that he’s so sorry and asks what Shawn had to say for himself. Belle informs him that he threw the fact that she slept with Philip in her face even though that was over a decade ago. EJ calls that not a very shrewd tactic. Belle says she’s just been sitting here, thinking about how much she and Shawn have hurt each other over the years. EJ relates to he and Sami doing the same thing. Belle asks if EJ got in touch with Johnny. EJ says he called the office but they said he hadn’t been in. EJ decides to not let Belle drink alone.

Chad tells Abigail that he just feels very bad about turning on EJ. Abigail talks about thinking EJ walked up to her and started kissing her and that Chad saw it happen, so it didn’t occur to them that the Devil morphed in to EJ. Chad agrees and he was furious when he took the stand. Abigail points out that Chad didn’t know that Belle put the evidence on his computer. Abigail says at least EJ is out now and can put it behind him. Abigail wonders what it was like for EJ to be an inmate. Chad is sure he ran in to some bad dudes. Abigail comments that EJ didn’t seem any worse for having been in prison.

Clyde repeats to Ben that EJ offered him a job. Ben argues that Clyde is not the corporate type so he questions what kind of job it was. Clyde questions him sounding so suspicious. Ben says he’s known him all his life and has Clyde sleeping on his couch while he promised to stick to the straight and narrow. Clyde says that’s why he turned down the job, leaving a lot of money on the table, to keep working the grill at the Brady Pub. Ben brings up Clyde cooking Ciara breakfast and tells him to dial it back a little bit. Ben adds that Clyde is not going to build a cradle for their baby. Clyde questions what he’s giving him grief for because he’s taking an interest in his own grandchild. Ben responds that they already have enough of the wrong kind of interest after their baby. Clyde asks what that means. Ben says it’s going to sound off the wall but he swears it’s true that they have proof that the Devil wants their baby. Clyde thought Ciara was joking but Ben assures it’s no joke.

Andre tells Johnny not to worry as he’s not going to kill him since the Devil has a vested interest in keeping him alive at least for now. Johnny argues that his family is probably already looking for him. Andre says that the Devil was concerned about that which is why he sent him to tie up the loose ends. Andre decides they are going to write a letter of Johnny saying farewell to Salem and everyone he loves.

Chanel argues that Allie saw Johnny and got scared of being with her. Chanel asks if lie was a lot easier when she thought she was straight. Allie clarifies that she has not changed her mind about being bisexual. Chanel asks if she just changed her mind about her. Chanel argues that Allie is lying to herself because she cares about her and that’s why they decided to see if they could make this work. Chanel says that they are way more than friends and before going to see Johnny, Allie was in to her. Allie says she’s sorry if she made her think that, but she’s decided they were a mistake. Chanel asks what Johnny said to her. Allie claims that seeing Johnny just made her realize that she rushed in to this without thinking about how it would hurt the people she cares about. Chanel complains that this sounds like the same speech Johnny gave to her for breaking up with her. Allie says maybe they are using the same words. Chanel shouts that it’s more than that and she’s not hearing her. Chanel points out the cold way she’s looking at her and it’s not that she’s like Johnny, but that she is Johnny. Chanel feels like she’s talking to the same person.

Johnny argues that no one will buy this as Andre reads him the letter that he wrote for him, saying goodbye to everyone in Salem and that he’s going back to Italy for some soul searching. Johnny calls it garbage. Andre says he still has to sign it.

Chanel questions Allie and Johnny talking about the best way to dump her. Allie claims they just talked about how close they used to be. Chanel asks what Johnny said. Allie claims that Johnny said Chanel wants both of them. Chanel questions her believing that. Allie points out that Chanel did jump from his bed to hers. Chanel points out that Allie did the same with Tripp. Allie agrees that they moved too fast. Chanel complains that Johnny got to her and is pulling the strings now. Chanel talks about being so happy and asks her not to let him do this to them. Allie claims this is all her and as she stepped back and went from planning to marry Tripp right in to a relationship with her, so she needs time alone. Chanel asks about the bakery. Allie tells her that it’s Chanel’s. Chanel argues that they were partners but Allie says she didn’t put a cent in to it. Chanel talks about how much it meant to her but Allie says she’s sure she will find someone to take her place. Chanel tells Allie not to do this and says something has been really off since she walked through the door.

Johnny refuses to sign the letter and argues that everyone will know it’s not his handwriting. Andre then takes the pen and stabs Johnny with it, using his blood to sign the letter.

Allie tells Chanel that they are over and asks her to leave so she can sleep. Chanel hopes Allie is more gentle with her son Henry than she was with her. Chanel then leaves and breaks down crying outside the door. The Devil remarks that he hopes he doesn’t have to play that scene again because he needs to focus all his energy on Ben and Ciara’s baby.

Clyde asks Ben if he’s still seeing Marlena. Ben assures that Marlena is not possessed anymore. Clyde asks if that means his troubles are over now. Ben says he hopes so but the Devil has upped his game since returning to Salem and is able to jump from person to person. Clyde asks how he knows that. Ben explains that Belle was possessed for a little while but now there is no sign of him. Clyde questions why the Devil would want his baby. Ben says they don’t know that but he does know that right now, his baby is safe and he intends to keep it that way. Clyde brings up how Ciara fought for Ben, so if the Devil does came after their kid, he’s in for a hell of a fight and his money is on Ciara.

Ciara thinks Shawn just needs to give Belle some time and points out how she was possessed and has to figure out how to live with that. Shawn can’t believe they are talking about Belle’s possession like she had the flu or something. Ciara knows Belle won’t get past it overnight. Shawn agrees that they both went through Hell. Shawn just hopes that when Belle is herself, she won’t be so furious with him. Ciara assures that no matter how angry Belle is, she won’t give Jan the satisfaction of ruining their marriage.

EJ says it may not be an appropriate time for a toast but he says Belle was strong enough to throw the Devil off and now the worst is behind them now.

Chad asks Abigail how EJ was when she saw him. Abigail says EJ was in high gear and wants to put everything behind him so he can get his life back. Abigail notes that Chad and EJ weren’t really getting along before he went to prison. Abigail asks if they can join forces to throw Gabi out. Chad admits there’s nothing Stefano would love more than his sons burying the hatchet to get rid of an interloper. Chad notices a letter on the mantle and asks where that came from. Abigail doesn’t know. Chad gets up and opens the letter, saying it’s from Johnny.

Andre informs Johnny that his message has been delivered, so no one will come looking for him now. Andre tells him that they will meet again, either here or in Hell. Andre disappears as Johnny continues to struggle with being chained up.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: I don’t understand. How long are we talking?

[ Door closes ] Really? Well, that seems excessive.

Ashland: What’s going on?

Victoria: Uh, hold on one second. Our flight to tuscany has been delayed.

Ashland: It’s a private jet. How can it be delayed?

Victoria: Weather. There are storms in the flight path.

Ashland: Well, why don’t we just fly around them?

Victoria: I don’t know. Something about barometric pressure. I’m talking to the pilot right now.

Ashland: Let me talk to him. Yeah, tell me about this weather thing. Well, how long will it take to re-route then?

[ Scoffs ] Wait. You’re saying that storms are coming in from both the east and the west? I didn’t even know that was possible.

Victoria: I didn’t either.

Ashland: Well, he’s claiming it’s some kind of meteorological anomaly. What do you want to do? Should we press him and just have him take off anyway?

Victoria: He’s the expert. I think we need to trust him.

Ashland: Right. Uh, listen, um, we appreciate your concern, but we would really like to get to italy as quickly as possible. Sure. Thank you very much. We will await your call. Yeah.

Victoria: So? How long do we have to wait?

Ashland: He assured me that he will get in touch with us as soon as it’s safe to fly. So, for now, we wait.

Nikki: I don’t know how you can be so calm.

[ Door closes ] Knowing that victoria is leaving for tuscany with ashland any minute, I’m a nervous wreck.

Victor: Wait a minute. You’re the one who has been assuring me that victoria knows how to handle herself.

Nikki: I know. I know. I’ve been trying to remind myself of the same thing. But the thought of her traveling alone with that man after everything he has done — I’m worried.

Victor: Trust me. It’ll all work out. She has a plan, okay?

Nikki: Yes, I know about the plan, but for her to pretend that she still believes him and still loves him — a whole lot could go wrong with that ruse.

Victor: Sweetheart, if it makes you feel any better, they won’t leave for any time soon, okay? Ostensibly, there’s some kind of a storm in the area.

Nikki: What do you mean, “ostensibly”?

Victor: Well, there’s a storm somewhere, right? That’s what I told the pilot to tell them.

Sally: Thank you. What a gentleman. Opening the door for me, pulling out my chair. You really know how to make a girl feel special. Are you gonna make me breakfast in bed in the morning?

Adam: Oh, wait. Slow down, now. We’re just, uh, having a drink.

Sally: Yeah, a very special drink. A very special night. You are now in charge of newman/locke.

Adam: [ Sighs ]

Sally: Are you gonna tell me all about your plans for the company now?

Adam: Oh, well, if you let me, I will talk to you about them all night.

Sally: How can you have so many? Your father just put you in charge this afternoon.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] I’ve run the company before. Successfully.

Sally: Well, I imagine that after victor named victoria ceo and installed you at newman media, you’ve probably kept an eye on every move that your sister made and compared it to what you would have done in her place.

Adam: It’s a little unnerving how well you read me, but it is, uh, very impressive.

Sally: It’s not that hard. We have similar very mind-sets. When I ran my business back in L.A., I always kept an eye on the competition. It got to the point where i could have run their companies way better than they could.

Adam: Well, now you’re about to run one big entity. Newman media.

Sally: Did that really happen? You really offered me a job?

Adam: Oh, yes. That happened.

Sally: And you meant it?

Adam: Of course. What did you think?

Sally: It just hasn’t sunk in yet. I am running newman media.

Adam: Now, I-I don’t know how long you will be in charge, but —

Sally: It doesn’t matter. I just appreciate you having that kind of faith in me. It’s been a really long time.

Jack: You ran away. You didn’t take responsibility. You didn’t face the people that you abused.

Diane: Everybody wanted me gone, jack. I mean, I was truly hated, and — and, in time, I hated myself. I mean, all the self-loathing and — and the guilt and the shame. And [Exhales sharply] I thought, “why not? You know, the whole world thinks you’re dead. Why don’t you just give them what they want?” Kyle is my son.

Jack: He has built a wonderful life with his family. You think I’m gonna let you destroy that? Poison his life in italy? No. Never. So you go back to your new and improved life. I’ll go back to genoa city and forget this ever happened.

Diane: But you won’T. You can’T. That’s not the man you are, jack. You love kyle with your whole heart. And half of him is me.

Jack: His mother died. She was killed. He was lost, confused. Heartbroken. He had his mother ripped from his life. I know this because I was there. I held him. I tried to comfort him by telling him it wouldn’t always hurt so much, that I would always be there to protect him. Why would I stop doing that now?!

Diane: Our son needs me in his life. He deserves his mother.

Jack: A real mother. Not you. And you sure as hell don’t deserve him.

Jack: [ Breathes deeply ]

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Phyllis: Jack.

Jack: What are you — what are you doing here?

Phyllis: I didn’t want to press you on the phone. So I came here instead.

Jack: Well, I’m glad you did. In 15 years you drink about 15,000 cups of coffee.

Adam: To us. In charge. Finally.

[ Glasses clink ]

Sally: I feel like you’re jinxing it.

Adam: What do you mean?

Sally: You said that ashland wasn’t too thrilled about victor’s decision to put you in charge. And even though you said she didn’t have much of a reaction, I’m sure victoria is not thrilled about it, either. I don’t know. It just feels like they could throw a wrench in it whenever they wanted.

Adam: I really don’t think you need to worry about that.

Sally: What happens if she runs off to daddy to complain?

Adam: My father already knows that she hates the idea of me sitting in that chair while she’s gone. And, honestly, that might be why he put me there — to provoke her into staying in town. But it didn’t work. That’s how determined she is to go along with this plan and get him out of her life. She’s willing to let me run the company. Her least favorite person.

Sally: Ashland is probably her least favorite at the moment. Finding out the person who professes to love you has been manipulating you and playing on your sympathies is the ultimate betrayal. I really don’t know how she’s even holding in all that emotion.

Adam: I don’t know, but she can’t do it forever. And she’s not gonna be able to keep up the charade. Ashland will catch on soon. He’s a smart and perceptive guy.

Sally: He’s also a very vindictive guy. What happens when he finds out his wife has been playing him?

Ashland: You know, I still have trouble believing that victor was okay with putting adam in charge. He’s so toxic. This might a good time for you to convince your father to change his mind, huh?

Victoria: No. Look, I’ve told you this. I’m not happy about adam being put in charge in our absence, but I like to choose my own battles, and this is not a fight that I want to focus too much of my energy on.

Ashland: Right. It’s just that, victor could keep adam in check, but now that victor’s no longer an ally, adam is free to run amuck.

Victoria: Have you talked to adam recently?

Ashland: Yeah. Very recently. Let’s just say he made it clear that we should not stay in tuscany for too long. The more time we give him, the better the chance he’ll turn the company upside down.

Victoria: I think that this problem will be fixed once we clear your name. And then my family will have to apologize to you for thinking the worst of you. And that should be our main priority right now. Don’t you think?

Ashland: [ Sighs ] You’re right. Of course you’re right.

[ Laughs ] First things first. And then everything else will fall into place. Thank you.

Victoria: For what?

Ashland: For reminding me to stay focused on what’s important.

Phyllis: What’s wrong?

Jack: Wow, you’re getting right to it, huh?

Phyllis: Yeah, well, okay. I had a nice flight. Uh, traci’s worried. Um… uh, let’s see. I ordered some shoes. Why were you so strange on the phone?

Jack: I don’t suppose you’d buy that it’s just jet lag?

Phyllis: Well, I thought it had to do with allie. Maybe she got cold feet, i thought, but then you said you were connecting with her.

Jack: No, no, no. Things are great with allie. She’s lovely. She’s a very serious young woman. She’s very focused and determined. But she has this twinkle in her eye when she laughs.

Phyllis: That’s lovely. I know where she gets that. Jack… why were you dodging on the phone? Come on. I was worried. I talked to lauren about it. She backed me. Here I am.

Jack: I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that you know me so well.

Phyllis: So something is wrong. What is it?

Jack: It’s shocking. Frankly, it’s turned everything upside down. And, yes, my first instinct was to keep it to myself. But seeing you here now… I know I can’t handle this on my own. I have to share the insanity with someone. And I trust no one more than you. Hi, I’m karen.

Nikki: Well, I’m glad you came up with a way to keep victoria and ashland from leaving right away, but eventually they’re going to realize there is no storm.

Victor: [ Sighs ] Thank you, my sweet love.

Nikki: You’re welcome.

Victor: It was a stalling tactic. I have to give michael baldwin enough time to look at ashland locke’s contract line by line and find some clause that allows us to throw that bastard out on his ear.

Nikki: Oh, I would love for him to find a loophole, anything to get that man out of our lives.

Victor: Wait a minute. I remember not too long ago you were hoping that all the allegations against him were false.

Nikki: Yeah, well, I have no illusions about him now. I’ve seen who really he is. To have michael held captive in a foreign country — how can he do that to someone?

Victor: It was an act of desperation. He’ll do anything to hide what he is all about and what he has done, but he’s not gonna get away with it.

Nikki: [ Scoffs ] Well, I’ll believe that when i see it. He has never had to suffer any consequences for his crimes.

Victor: How long have you known me? Do you think I’m gonna let that bastard get away with it? Do you think I allow someone to cross me like that?

Adam: Look, I would not concern myself with victoria’s well-being. She’s her father’s daughter, and she knows how to take care of herself. If anything, we should be worried about ashland’s safety.

Sally: You think she’s gonna, like, push him out of the plane on the way to italy?

Adam: Oh, she would probably have an ejection seat installed with a little red button she could press.

Sally: Well, I guess that would be more efficient.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] No. I’m kidding. She, um, did not divulge what her plan is, so there’s no telling what she’s up to. But if I had to bet, I would put my money on her to come out on top.

Sally: That surprises me, knowing how you feel about her.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Look, my sister and I — we might not always see eye to eye. But she’s a formidable opponent. She’s tenacious and resourceful and smart.

Sally: It almost sounds like you’re rooting for her.

Adam: No, I just know better than to underestimate her.

Sally: Yeah, there may be some truth to that, but maybe it is in your best interest if she wins this battle.

Adam: What do you mean?

Sally: Well, if she can’t get rid of ashland, then he’s gonna try and take newman/locke away from all of you.

Victoria: Where did you see adam?

Ashland: His office.

Victoria: Oh. So he was one of the loose ends that you needed to tie up before we left.

Ashland: Yeah. Yeah. I just wanted to remind him that he was babysitting the company, not taking it over. His response, of course, was, predictably, insolence. I mean, he even had the nerve to “congratulate” me for pulling the wool over your eyes. Can you believe that?

Victoria: Yeah. I believe it.

Ashland: Yeah, he said he was impressed that I was able to pull it off. It was insulting. It was offensive, even.

Victoria: I guess it just goes to show you that adam hasn’t really turned over a new leaf the way that he wants everyone to believe. Oh, my gosh.

Ashland: What?

Victoria: What if the answer that we’ve been looking for has been staring us right in the face the entire time?

Phyllis: Okay, that’s quite a build-up. Lay it on me. I’m ready for it.

Jack: It’s about our mystery texter.

Phyllis: Of course. Ah. Of course. Did you find out who it was?

Jack: More like they found me.

Phyllis: Who was it?

Jack: This is where the insanity kicks in. Phyllis, the woman is diane.

Phyllis: Diane who?

Jack: Diane jenkins.

Phyllis: Are you kidding me? Diane’s dead. She’s burning in hell.

Jack: I’m not kidding.

Phyllis: [ Stammers ] So, it’s someone impersonating diane.

Jack: No, no, no.

Phyllis: Why would they do that?

Jack: Diane is alive.

Phyllis: Why are you saying this to me?

Jack: Because I saw her. I talked to her. Yes, it is diane.

Phyllis: Diane is dead. Diane died on the bridge or in the water, but diane is dead.

Jack: It was all —

Phyllis: They pulled out her body.

Jack: It was all —

Phyllis: There was a service.

Jack: Listen to me! It was all a lie.

Phyllis: Come here. Come here. Jack, give me your hand. Hey, I know you’re stressed out. I know that. I’m not saying you’re losing it. I’m not saying that. But diane is very much dead. I was one of the many suspects. There were charges filed. She is dead.

Jack: She did indeed have those confrontations. As for her body… a stolen corpse took its place. Courtesy of deacon sharpe.

Phyllis: Oh, my god. No. Oh, my god. No.

Jack: She slipped out of her life in genoa city and into her new life here in L.A.

Phyllis: She’s sending the texts. It is diane? Why is she doing this? To what end? Why did she come out of hiding now?

Jack: Because she wants something.

Phyllis: What does she want? Money? How much?

Jack: No. She wants a trade. According to her, she led me to allie, and now it’s only fair that I lead her back into kyle’s life. I brought in ensure max protein,

Adam: Intuitively, it would seem like it’s in my best interests for victoria to stay away a long time because I’m in charge while she’s gone. Then if she fails, we could all lose. You’re taking the long view.

Sally: I-I just know if ashland has the opportunity, he will take over. So maybe it is in our best interest to root for victoria to send him packing.

Adam: Eh, of course. It doesn’t actually need to be victoria that kicks locke out. But my father is giving her a chance to make things right. But make no mistake. He’s not gonna be shy about stepping in to do what’s necessary.

Sally: Well, that scenario is probably best for you because then the company stays intact — with you in charge — victoria gets knocked off her pedestal, and she’s gonna have to admit how badly she screwed up.

Adam: Oh, well, that part is inevitable. I mean, even if everything goes perfect for her — she divorces locke, she kicks him out of the co-ceo position — she is still left cleaning up her mess. All of this is her fault for falling for his scheme in the first place.

Sally: I heard you tell your dad that. He didn’t really seem to be on board.

Adam: [ Sighs ] You don’t understand him the way that I do. He will always defend victoria, especially in front of somebody that is not family. Sure, he sympathizes with her, he wants to protect her, but make no mistake, he is disappointed with her. She let him down. That is the greatest sin one of his children can commit.

Nikki: Victor, of course i know you will do whatever it takes to protect the family. And the business.

[ Sighs ] I just hate that we’re in this situation at all.

Victor: As do I.

Nikki: I mean, and I knew that ashland’s reputation was horrible. I just didn’t realize what what he was truly capable of.

Victor: That’s the problem, my darling. I had my suspicions about that man from the very beginning. I actually confronted him, asked him point-blank if he was faking his illness to garner our daughter’s sympathy.

Nikki: I remember. He denied it.

Victor: Of course he denied it. He’d do anything to hide what he had done and what he is all about. And I didn’t interfere anymore because I realized that victoria was happy, as happy as I’ve ever seen her. I was hoping this marriage would work out.

[ Sighs ]

Nikki: Well, I hope you’re not blaming victoria for what& happened. This was a well-orchestrated con by a master.

Victor: Well, if you’re asking me if my opinion of victoria’s judgment has changed… I can’t tell you that.

Nikki: Well, that’s not very fair. We all supported their marriage. We all believed that ashland loved her. I mean, we can’t now turn around and act like she’s the only one who should have seen that.

Victor: Sweetheart, I don’t think we should talk about this anymore.

Nikki: Yes, victor, we absolutely have to talk about it.

Ashland: I’m sorry. I’m not following. What is this revelation you just had?

Victoria: Well, I may be off, but we’ve been going around and around trying to figure out who might have framed you. We’ve gone through your past —

Ashland: Yeah, and we haven’t found anybody yet who could have been responsible for this.

Victoria: Exactly and we’ve even tossed out the idea that my dad might be behind it, but that doesn’t make any sense to me because if he wanted you out, he would have come at you with a bold power move. This scam was sneaky, like a snake.

Ashland: Adam.

Victoria: It clicked when you told me that he said he admired you for pulling off such a huge scam. And then I thought, “of course he would say that — because this is what he would do.” And then it hit me. This is exactly what he would do, and he’s done so before. He once even pulled off his own medical scam. He pretended to be blind.

Ashland: Why?

Victoria: Because he’s deceitful and narcissistic and power-hungry. And if he saw the opportunity to take you down and advance himself, he wouldn’t think twice about it. Do you think that maybe adam might be the one who framed you?

Phyllis: So diane is bargaining with you? Your granddaughter for your son? Oh, my god, this is exactly something that she would do.

Jack: I know. The whole thing is surreal. Once the shock faded, the anger kicked in. And poor allie — she — she’s stuck in the middle like a chess piece.

Phyllis: So, diane been here hiding the whole time? And she knew your granddaughter?

Jack: I don’t know any of the logistics, what she knew, when she knew, how she knew it. All I know is I stood in the home that keemo lived in and listened to her tell me about the past and how she’d changed. And how, after everything she did to kyle, she wanted back in his life again.

Phyllis: What’d you say?

Jack: I told her the only thing I could say. No way. I told her I intend to forget she exists. She was dead to kyle before. She can be dead to him now. I will not let her break his heart again.

Phyllis: Okay.

Jack: What does that mean?

Phyllis: It means… you don’t want to hear what i have to say.

I’m jimmy dean and uh,

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Nikki: Of course victoria made a mistake in trusting ashland, but that certainly doesn’t diminish her accomplishments at newman.

Victor: No, baby. She is running the company very well. I’ve told her that many times.

Nikki: Well, then why are you making her think that you’ve lost faith in her abilities?

Victor: In what way am i doing that?

Nikki: Victor, you know exactly what I mean. You appointed adam to be in charge of the company while she sorted out through crisis. That was a warning that you might have her replaced as ceo.

Victor: Sweetheart, that’s a temporary solution, okay? Our daughter’s off to italy. I don’t know what her plans are. We have a huge company to run. So I thought putting adam in the position of temporary ceo was a good decision.

Nikki: Yeah, but I’m coo. If you wanted a temporary plan, I’m the logical choice.

Victor: Sweetheart, it doesn’t have the same impact.

Nikki: Exactly. You were sending her a message. And now she may be putting her life at risk because she can sense your judgment and your disappointment. She will do anything to earn back your respect. It breaks my heart, victor, because right now she should just know that her family will stand by her, no matter what. Can you please tell me that you’ll do that?

Victor: [ Breathes deeply ]

Victoria: Well, what do you think? You think that the idea that adam may have framed you — you think it’s totally crazy?

Ashland: It’s not something I’ve ever considered.

Victoria: I just keep seeing his face light up when dad told him that he was gonna be temporarily in charge. He was thrilled. Well, maybe that was his goal from the very beginning — to make dad lose faith in you and me and that would clear the way for him to be in charge.

Ashland: Yeah, but these — these accusations against me — they’re horrific. Do we really think that adam is that devious? That vicious?

Victoria: That is child’s play for him.

Ashland: But he’s trying to destroy a man’s reputation, his marriage, his c– and for what? To satisfy his own ambitions? That’s what you’re saying?

Victoria: Think about what he had to do to get that story published about your past. He had to hack into chanccomm servers. And, yes, I know, sure, adam claims he did that to discredit billy, but it made you look bad, too, didn’t it? Maybe he could do that elsewhere, try to make you look guilty.

Ashland: Maybe.

Victoria: Just think about it. He could have the one to remove or replace those medical records at the hospital. Maybe it was adam who bribed those doctors in peru. Maybe he’s the one who figured out how to have michael baldwin kidnapped. I wouldn’t put any of this past him.

Ashland: Yeah. You may be onto something. In a sick, twisted way, it all makes sense, but —

Victoria: But what?

Ashland: But victor will never believe it.

Victoria: He might… if we can find the proof.

Jack: You came all this way to tell me something I don’t want to hear?

Phyllis: Listen, I’m not defending diane at all. You know that. What she’s did is beyond disgusting.

Jack: Exactly. Exactly. Get to the part I’m gonna hate.

Phyllis: Kyle was a little boy when his mom “exited.” Now he’s a man with a family —

Jack: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, careful. You’re sounding dangerously like what diane said.

Phyllis: You want to protect your son, and I absolutely understand. I do that with summer all the time. I admit that.

Jack: Okay, you and summer have survived a lot — nothing like this.

Phyllis: Kyle was devastated when he learned his mom died.

Jack: You think you have to tell me that? Kyle was crushed when he lost his mother. Everyone in town was accused of her murder. He didn’t know who to trust. And I knew my mission was to get him through the pain. And, yes, it took time, but he got through it. He’s suffered enough. She can’t do any more to him. To lose your mother and then find out later that’s what she meant to have happen? She consciously meant to leave you? No. No. He is not going to learn that about her.

Phyllis: You’ve forgotten one thing. It’s diane. Look what she’s already done. She is a wrecking ball. You think she’s just gonna say, “okay,” and slither away? No. She’s gonna come back into his life. You cannot stop kyle from knowing the truth. You can’T.

Jack: I disagree with that. Diane came to me for help because she knows she needs it. She’s not gonna confront him on her own. She’s a coward. She’d rather fake her death than face what she did. No, she needs someone to help her in, someone to do her dirty work for her, and if it doesn’t work out that way, she will slither off and lick her wounds and ruin someone else’s life.

Phyllis: You believe that?

Jack: Yes. I believe that.

Phyllis: I think it’s wishful thinking on your part because you’re trying to protect your son.

[Sfx: Chicken clucking]

Ashland: If your suspicions are true, that puts my conversation with adam into a whole new light.

Victoria: What do you mean?

Ashland: Well, the way he was goading me on. He kept going on about how clever, how lucky I was to be getting away with it.

Victoria: Well, it’s projection on his part. His bragging about what he thinks he’s getting away with. It makes sense. I mean, who is benefiting more than adam than your falling out of favor with my family?

Ashland: I think this is worth investigating. But the first step is for me to call the pilot and tell him the trip to italy is off.

Victoria: What? Why?

Ashland: It’s obvious, isn’t it? We need to stay here. We need to do a deep dive into everything adam has been doing.

Sally: Maybe you’re right. You could end up in a really strong position at newman/locke, no matter what happens to victoria. And, yeah, maybe it’s true that your father only promoted you to send a message to your sister, but I think there’s more to it. It really feels like a test, to see what you can do with the company.

Adam: I need to do a better job than her. I need to prove that I am more daring, more innovative, and more competent than she is — and I need to do it all before she gets back from tuscany.

Sally: Wow. That sounds like a tall order.

Adam: No. It’s a piece of cake.

Jack: I am not going to let diane break kyle’s heart again. Look at the life he has with summer right now in milan. How much they love each other, how much they love harrison. She doesn’t get to blow that up. I’m going to do everything I can to keep her away from him.

Phyllis: Okay, I hear you, again.

Jack: Good. So, how about taking my side and not playing devil’s advocate?

Phyllis: You had another son that you kept information from. And look what happened there. It kept you from him.

Jack: Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. No, no. I did not have the bond with keemo that — kyle is a different story. He knows how much I love him. He knows I would do anything for him.

Phyllis: I know. So believe in that. Trust that. Trust the bond that you have with kyle. I am telling you… you know and I know diane. We are talking about diane jenkins. She will blindside your son just like she did you.

Diane: [ Sighs ] Yes. Hello. I am hoping you can help. I need kyle abbott’s direct line in milan. Oh, of course. It’s ashley abbott, his aunt. Uh, yes, I’m ready. Mm-hmm.

[ Pen clatters ] Thank you. For copd,

Jack: You’re right. You’re right. It’s wishful thinking that diane will walk away now. I just don’t know how to tell kyle. How do I turn his life upside down? You don’t do that over a phone call.

Phyllis: No, but you know diane. I mean, how much longer until she tries to blow up his life?

Jack: I don’t know. But I got to buy some time. I got to find some way to keep her away from him until I can warn him what is coming. I just hope I’m not too late.

Victor: You know better. I love our daughter. I adore her. I will never do anything to hurt her.

Nikki: I know that. But I also know that sometimes you can be very obstinate and inflexible when it comes to the business. And that’s not what victoria needs from you right now.

Victor: I know. And I haven’t made up my mind yet as to how to handle the whole business thing.

Nikki: Well, I don’t think you should until this crisis is resolved.

Victor: But you’re right. Running my company is not my priority right now. But getting our daughter through this is. I’ll do everything in my power to make sure we get rid of that bastard husband of hers… get him out of our lives.

Adam: Victoria has grabbed a lot of headlines while running the company. But what has she actually accomplished?

Sally: [ Sighs ] Well, she almost doubled the size of newman enterprises.

Adam: [ Scoffs ] Yes, she was put in charge of a company that her father built, and then she merged it with one that locke created. And then she went on a spending spree. Chanccomm, newman media. It’s quite a impressive collection of assets, but what does she intend to do with her shiny toys? It’s never really been clear.

Sally: So you need to come out of the gate with a vision. Something unique, bold, and spectacular.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Everything depends on one perfect go-big-or-go-home idea that will grab everyone’s attention.

Sally: Like how I came up with designing victoria’s wedding dress to launch newman fashion.

Adam: Exactly. You see, because you have a knack for this sort of thing. Which is why I wanted to discuss it with you.

Sally: Well, I’m really glad you value my input.

Adam: I definitely do.

Sally: Then let’s grab another round and start brainstorming.

Ashland: You still think we should run off to tuscany?

Victoria: It seemed like the best way to get clear from all of this. But maybe our next move has already been chosen for us.

Ashland: Well, I’m just concerned about what might happen if we give our lead suspect too much room to operate.

Victoria: So…no tuscany. You know, when I was thinking about the trip, I was thinking that it would give us some much-needed space, but I think maybe you’re right. We shouldn’t give adam too much room to maneuver because if he is behind this, we need to put the pressure.

Ashland: God, I love how your mind works. I’m not sure I would have realized that adam is the one behind all these lies.

Victoria: Well, it’s not gonna be easy to prove. He’s definitely gonna try to cover his tracks.

Ashland: I’ll find a way. Count on it. And then we can get our lives back. You know, an hour ago, I didn’t think this was possible, but thanks to you, I can finally see an end to this nightmare.

Victoria: That’s right. This is the beginning of the end.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

[ Knock on door ]

[ Sighs ] I’m so glad you came back.

Phyllis: Oh, my god. It’s true. You’re alive.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] So if you are heading out the door early this morning you will probably want to grab the umbrella as we deal with the hopefully they’re done and out of the way.

Sonny: I’m not asking you for any specifics.

Dante: Okay.

Sonny: I just — when you look into Esme, I just want you to tell me, you know, maybe —

Dante: Okay, but you know I can’t say anything, right?

Sonny: I’m not asking you to.

Dante: Okay, good.

Sonny: But just when you do look, I want you to see the whole picture. You know what I mean?

Dante: Yeah.

Sonny: Hey! Look who we’ve got there. What’s this getup? The wedding already happened?

Brando: Yeah. What’s happening, Sonny?

Sonny: [ Laughs ] Alright. Look at this newlywed.

Dante: Newlywed. I heard. Congratulations. Where was my invite, by the way?

Brando: Ah, it was a short list, Dante.

Sonny: [ Laughs ]

Dante: So, what are you doing? That doesn’t exactly look like gym attire.

Brando: Yeah, no, I’m, uh — I’m actually heading to The Savoy. Big day for my wife.

Sasha: How great did you look ringing the opening bell on Wall Street today, Lucy?

Lucy: Well, now, now, we all looked great, but we also looked gorgeous and powerful and successful. Though I do admit I looked pretty spectacular ringing that bell.

Maxie: I think we looked even better flying home. How great was it one of our investors loaned us their private plane?

Brook Lynn: Unbelievable. Thank you so much, you guys, for including me on the trip and letting me stand up there with you guys when you rang the bell. You guys are a really big deal.

Maxie: We are a big deal. I know you’re not a partner, but nobody would know how fabulous deception is if it wasn’t for you.

Lucy: Exactly. That makes you invaluable.

Maxie: One of the many reasons.

Sasha: It’s been a rough year, ladies, but through it all, we stayed committed to Deception.

Maxie: And now we reap the rewards.

[ All chuckle ]

[ Clattering in distance ]

[ Switch clicks ]

Elizabeth: What do you want?

Man in Shadows: Don’t forget me.

Elizabeth: Who are you? [ Exhales slowly ] Okay. [ Sighs ] Okay, it’s just… one hell of a dream.

Scott: So, why are we eating here instead of Wyndemere? You know how I like that brisk boat ride out there and, you know, the fresh orange juice and the frittatas?

Ava: I stayed in town last night.

Scott: Oh. Is there trouble on Spoon Island?

Ava: Trouble with a capital “E.”

Spencer: Good morning. I was just about to bring this up to your room. How you feeling?

Esme: Tired.

Spencer: You want any breakfast?

Esme: No food. Just…coffee?

Spencer: The usual? Cream and two sugars?

Esme: It’s nice of you to still wait on me, especially now that we know I’m not pregnant after all.

Laura: You know, Finn, I just wanted to say that Elizabeth means a great deal to me, and I’m very glad that she has you in her life, especially with what she and the boys are going through right now.

Finn: Oh, I’m — I’m helping her as much as she’ll let me. Of course, Elizabeth’s first reaction is to try to do everything on her own.

Aiden: Mom, I can’t find my P.E. Clothes.

Elizabeth: Uh, check the folded stack in the laundry room.

Jake: Mom? What are you doing?

Jake: It happened again?

Elizabeth: Jake, don’t.

Jake: “Don’t forget me”?

Elizabeth: I don’t want you to worry about this. No, I’m not a kid anymore. I should know when someone broke in.

Aiden: Someone broke in again?

Elizabeth: I-I-I don’t know what happened. Hopefully, the police will be able to tell us.

Jake: And if they can’t?

Elizabeth: I’ll handle it.

Jake: By yourself?

Elizabeth: I will do anything to protect you and your brothers, even if I have to do it alone.

Jake: But you don’t have to.

Elizabeth: No, wait, wait. Who are you calling?

Ava: My husband has not only invited his son to live with us at Wyndemere, he’s also seen fit to invite Spencer’s now ex-girlfriend.

Scott: The famous Esme?

Ava: You’ve met her?

Scott: No, but my client, Trina, has given me an earful.

Ava: Well, right now, at this very moment, Esme is likely propping her feet up on my furniture and nibbling your fancy frittatas. And best part — she may be nibbling for two.

Scott: Wait a minute. Are you saying that Esme is having a little baby Cassadine?

Laura: What? Oh, for the love of God, please tell me I’ve misheard you.

Esme: Spence, I have a confession to make.

Spencer: What’s that?

Esme: Last night, when the pregnancy test came up negative, I was worried you would kick me out.

Spencer: I told you that I wouldn’t. I know, but that was before we knew the truth, and then once we found out, I —

Esme: I guess I just got scared. Maybe this was a mistake. Maybe I should just leave and take my chances on the mainland with Sonny.

Nikolas: Why would you need to go anywhere?

Brando: Deception’s going public today, so they’re, um, you know, throwing a launch party at the savoy and gonna watch how the stock performs. The celebration’s all day. You — you two should stop in.

Dante: Wow, man, that — that is huge news.

Sonny: You — you must be proud of Sasha.

Brando: Yeah. Man, I, uh — I can’t tell you. And more than anything, I’m just happy to see something good happen for her after all that’s happened. Sasha deserves it.

Nina: Wow. This is an amazing party. How does it feel?

Sasha: Surreal. But good surreal.

Nina: Yeah? Well, get used to it because I have a feeling this is just the beginning.

Felicia: There she is.

Maxie: Hi.

Anna: Aww, so proud. Oh, my gosh.

Maxie: I didn’t do it all on my own.

Anna: Yeah, but no one else here is Felicia’s daughter.

Felicia: Or Anna’s goddaughter, so we don’t care about them quite as much.

Anna: No, taking a company public is a big deal.

Felicia: Yeah, you went from assistant at Crimson to an equity partnership in a company on the New York Stock Exchange. Maxie, I’m in awe.

Anna: Yeah, I’m British. We don’t do awe, but on this occasion —

Felicia: She’s awe. She’s awe.

Anna: [ Laughs ]

Maxie: Well, in that case, to awe.

Felicia: Cheers.

Curtis: Well, I’m honored that you chose The Savoy to launch your IPO.

Gladys: Mm. Well, now, we have a very select group. Uh, with the exception of Brando, almost all of our guests are here.

Brook Lynn: Why is Selina Wu crashing our event?

Gladys: She isn’t crashing. She’s on the list.

Selina: What an auspicious occasion.

Brook Lynn: Ms. Wu, what an honor. How is it that you’re here with us on the guest list?

Selina: All major investors were invited, so here I am.

Curtis: Are you saying that you bought a stake in deception?

Selina: Almost from the beginning. It only took a little patience. When I see a good investment, I go for it.

Laura: Are you saying that Esme is pregnant?

Ava: Mm, only a possibility. At least, that’s what I gathered before I walked out on Nikolas.

Laura: You walked out on Nikolas? What?

Ava: Well, I said either Esme had to go or I did. She’s there, and I’m here, so…

Laura: Oh, my god. What is he thinking?

Ava: I have no idea. But, please, feel free to get all the gory details from your son.

Laura: Believe me, I will.

Scott: I-I kinda almost feel sorry for Nikolas.

Ava: I don’t. Okay, so let’s discuss why I asked you here.

Scott: Okay, well, fire away.

Ava: As my lawyer, I need you to tell me… what am I entitled to if I walk away from my marriage?

Scott: [ Sighs ]

Nikolas: All things considered, you’re better off here.

Esme: Well, the thing is, it turns out I am not pregnant after all.

Nikolas: Well, I won’t tell you how to feel, but I do believe that’s for the best.

Esme: Since I’m no longer carrying Spence’s child, there really is no reason for me to stay.

Spencer: The invitation to stay here still stands.

Nikolas: Esme, I saw how rattled you were yesterday. You deserve to feel safe.

Esme: Thank you so much. I cannot tell you how terrifying that encounter with Sonny was. If you and your uncle victor hadn’t come along —

Nikolas: Well, we did. You’re safe. That’s all that matters.

Spencer: I’m not sure what Uncle Sonny’s intent was, Esme, but I would never let anyone hurt you.

Esme: Really? Despite everything, you still care enough to protect me?

Spencer: And I always will.

Finn: Hey, you okay?

Elizabeth: Yeah.

Finn: I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have left you alone last night.

Elizabeth: Don’t apologize. You deserve a nice dinner with your family.

Finn: Hey, you’re my family, too. All of you. Thank you for calling, Jake.

Jake: Thanks for coming.

Finn: So tell me what happened.

Elizabeth: [ Sighs ] It was the weirdest thing. Laura left, and I went to go upstairs. The lights went out. And I thought I saw someone.

Aiden: You saw who broke into our house?

Elizabeth: I only thought I did, ’cause the next thing I know, I was — it was morning, and I was speaking up on the couch.

Finn: Who do you think you saw?

Elizabeth: I couldn’t make out a face, but the person said, “Don’t forget me.” And then when I woke up, “Don’t forget me” was painted on a piece of artwork on the drafting table. It was still wet. Finn, what if they don’t catch this guy?

Aiden: Is there a way to check for fingerprints?

Jake: Or trace the type of paint?

Finn: Exactly. Smart boys. Alright, now that we have a lead, we need to call in reinforcements.

Sonny: Sasha’s been through a lot, but, you — you know, you deserve to be happy, too.

Brando: I am. I am. I-I mean, look, I-I know what people are saying, that Sasha and I eloped because we needed to distract ourselves from grieving our son.

Sonny: Right.

Brando: You know, m-my own mother thinks all this is too soon.

Sonny: Let me tell you something about your mother. Gladys has a lot of opinions, but the only ones that matter are yours and Sasha.

Brando: Yeah. You know, and for a while, I thought my mom was right, that Sasha and I wouldn’t have a future without Liam.

Sonny: Listen to me. Couples have cracked under a lot less.

Dante: And you know what? No one can tell how they’re gonna react when they’re faced with something unthinkable like that. And you guys have — you guys are there for each other. You’re getting each other through it. It’s great.

Sonny: You guys bring out each other’s strength. That’s a beautiful thing.

Brando: Yeah, I mean, I would love to think that, but, um, you know, Sasha, she’s strong all on her own. You know, at first, I was afraid that she was gonna be in denial, but it turns out I was wrong. Sasha’s just doing it her way.

Lucy: Ms. Wu, oh, we are just so pleased, um, to welcome you to the Deception family, a-and we’re just delighted that you are here today to share in our special celebration. [ Chuckles ]

Selina: The pleasure’s all mine, Ms. Coe.

Lucy: Oh, well, thank you so much. Um, if you will excuse us a minute, I’m gonna take my cohorts, and we’re going to go huddle and mingle. Uh, pardon us.

Curtis: Ms. Wu, you are full of surprises.

Selina: I told you before, call me Selina. And you shouldn’t be surprised that I have varied interests. My grandfather always told me, “Only an unwise farmer plants a single crop.”

Curtis: Your grandfather’s very insightful. In fact, last time you were here, you shared his favorite fable.

Selina: Mm, which begs the question — the money tree I gave you — is it flourishing?

Lucy: Okay, did anybody know that Ms. Wu was buying up shares of Deception?

Maxie: No, absolutely not. She must have invested under a shell corporation.

Brook Lynn: Well, now that the stock is being traded publicly, anyone who can afford it can buy in, including lady gangsters.

Maxie: Wow. You, like, always know the best thing to say.

Brook Lynn: Fine. Well, let’s look on the bright side. If the biggest surprise of the day is Ms. Wu being an investor, then the rest of the day should be pretty seamless.

Maxie: Speaking of surprises, I, um, have someone meeting me here.

Felicia: Oh, my god. Look. The stock is going up.

Anna: And up.

Brook Lynn: What?

[ Chuckles ]

Anna: That’s good.

Austin: Hey, big shot. You look nice. Thank you. Do me a favor. Don’t forget about all the little people who helped you on the way up.

Maxie: I’m sorry. Wait. Who are you?

Austin: Would you, uh… would you allow me to remind you?

Sonny: You know, my dad…he really liked Sasha. He called a “Spitfire.”

[ All chuckle ]

Brando: Yeah. You know, Mike, uh — Mike — Mike really would’ve got a kick out of the fact that Sasha proposed to me.

Dante: She did?

Sonny: What?

Brando: Yeah.

Sonny: She did?

Brando: Yeah.

Sonny: You know what?

Dante: What?

Sonny: The way you and Sam are heading…

[ Cellphone rings ]

Sonny: …She’s gonna be proposing to you.

Dante: Oh.

[ Laughs ]

Dante: Look at that. That is literally saved by the bell. Falconeri.

Brando: Look, I got to head out, so, um, I am literally late for the party.

Sonny: Alright, tell everybody I said, you know… have a good time.

Brando: Yeah, will do.

Sonny: Yeah.

Brando: And, uh, Sonny, I-I know I tell you this all the time, but I really appreciate everything you’ve done for me.

Sonny: You’re my family.

Brando: It’s more than just being related, though. You’ve really been there for me, so if I can ever repay the favor, I’d be honored.

Sonny: Yeah, I’ll keep that in mind. Go. Your wife’s waiting.

Brando: Okay. I’m going. I’m going. I’ll see you all there?

[ Laughs ]

Felicia: Congratulations.

Lucy: [ Sighs ] Thank you. But, oh, oh, for what? I mean, I have no idea. Of course I have an idea. Please. I just love hearing it.

Felicia: For bringing your dream company to life, for taking it public, and ringing the bell on the New York Stock Exchange. And choosing the right outfit to ring it in.

Lucy: Oh, well, thank you very much for all of the above. I have to tell you, it was harder to pick this ensemble than running an entire company and creating it.

Felicia: Oh, but you made the perfect choice.

Lucy: Thank you. Thank you, my friend. Thank you.

Felicia: Yeah.

Curtis: Oh, the money tree is thriving, Ms. Wu.

Selina: As could our partnership. Have you given any more thought to my proposition?

Curtis: I have… and have not changed my mind.

Selina: If you won’t let me host poker games in your back room, there are plenty of other establishments who will.

Curtis: Wonderful. Then I encourage you to pursue one of them. I have made my position abundantly clear.

Selina: Why do I still feel there’s a chance of bringing you on my side?

Brook Lynn: How long has this been going on?

Maxie: Um, not long. It’s new.

Brook Lynn: Like five minutes ago new? Because that’s the only acceptable amount of time to justify you not telling me that you’re dating my arch nemesis.

Austin: Your arch nemesis?

Brook Lynn: Yeah.

Austin: You think so highly of me.

Maxie: I was going to tell you.

Brook Lynn: You know what? I get it. You don’t owe me anything.

Austin: Okay, I think your friend just made us all about her.

Maxie: She’s hurting. She probably thinks I was intentionally hiding this from her.

Austin: Are you? ‘Cause if I’m your dirty little secret, I’m kind of okay with that. It’s kinda hot.

Maxie: You are part of the problem. If you two hadn’t been and remained so antagonistic with each other, I would’ve felt more comfortable telling Brook Lynn about us.

Austin: What can I do to make this right?

Maxie: You can go make peace with her.

Austin: Oh, anything but that.

Dante: Uh, you okay?

Sonny: Yeah, yeah. Why wouldn’t I be?

Dante: Well, I know you’re happy for Brando, but that’s — that’s got to bring some stuff up.

Sonny: Oh, because my marriage failed, you think I can’t be happy for anybody else?

Dante: No. I mean, you should —

Sonny: No, no, wait. But you should know as well as I do, there is life after divorce.

Dante: [ Sighs ] I do know that.

Sonny: Okay. You ready to box?

Dante: I’d love to, but I got to go to work. That was a work call.

Sonny: [ Chuckles ] Okay.

Dante: You’ll have to find someone else.

Sonny: Don’t worry about it. I will find somebody else. Somebody better than you.

[ Both laugh ]

Dante: Come here.

Sonny: Alright.

Dante: Love you.

Sonny: Love you, too, man.

Dante: I’ll see you later.

Sonny: Bye.

Dante: Don’t get knocked out!

Sonny: [ Laughs ]

Esme: Why don’t we, um, spend the day together like we used to?

Spencer: I can’t. I have plans. I’ll, uh — I’ll talk to you later. Father.

Nikolas: Spencer’s transition back to civilian life may take time.

Esme: That’s kind of you. But we both know spence isn’t struggling with being home. He’s struggling with me being in his home.

Nikolas: [ Sighs ]

Laura: Sorry to interrupt.

Nikolas: Mother, I wasn’t expecting you.

Laura: Yeah, I-I see that. Um, I ran into your wife, and I thought that I might stop by.

Nikolas: You saw Ava? How is she?

Laura: Maybe you should ask where she is.

Nikolas: Okay. Where?

Laura: Charlie’s. Meeting with her lawyer.

Scott: Let me understand this. You’re throwing in the towel with Nikolas ‘cause of an unwanted houseguest?

Ava: Esme has taken up residence in my home against my wishes. Can you blame me for walking out?

Scott: Well, is it really about Esme, or are you just looking for a way out?

Brando: What’d I miss, wife?

Sasha: Stock is trading well, husband.

Brando: Yeah?

Sasha: Where have you been?

Brando: I just ran into Sonny and Dante at the gym. They send their congratulations about the company and about us.

Gladys: Brando. [ Gasps ] Oh, they’re lovely. But flowers are unnecessary since I’ve already forgiven you for eloping and leaving me behind. So, really, you shouldn’t have.

Brando: Oh, good, good. Because, uh, I-I didn’t. These are for Sasha.

Sasha: Aww. For you.

Brando: Very gracious, unlike some.

Nikolas: Ava’s seeing a lawyer? About what?

Laura: I can’t speak to that. [ Sighs ] I, uh — I did hear that the Cassadine family might be expanding?

Esme: That’s what I thought, but, um…false alarm.

Nikolas: Did you speak with Ava?

Esme: If you’ll, um, excuse me…

[ Door closes ]

Laura: Thank God she’s not pregnant. At least we avoided that catastrophe.

Nikolas: Mother…

Laura: [ Sighs ]

Nikolas: …Was Ava okay?

Laura: She told me that she walked out on you.

Nikolas: [ Scoffs ] We argued. I told Esme she could stay here without running it by Ava.

Laura: Why would you do that?

Nikolas: Esme needed a safe haven because Sonny’s been intimidating her. He had words with her over this sex tape that’s been making the rounds.

Laura: Yeah, well, Sonny’s not the only one who thinks that Esme is responsible for that. Cam and Joss both think that Esme framed Trina Robinson. And then there’s your wife. Now, if Esme should be afraid of anyone, she should be afraid of Ava.

Nikolas: I’m sorry that Ava’s upset, but I won’t let anything happen to Esme.

Laura: Why are you being so protective of her all of a sudden?

Sonny: Hold on.

Spencer: Hello, Uncle Sonny.

Sonny: How you doing?

Spencer: I’m alright.

Sonny: Oh, man.

Spencer: There you go.

Sonny: You want to hold the bag?

Spencer: Mm-hmm.

Sonny: [ Breathing heavily ] It’s good to see you out of Spring Ridge. How does it feel being a free man?

Spencer: It’s been more complicated than I thought it would be.

Sonny: Yeah, you know, I know how it feels to be away for so long and to come back, trying to get your life on track. You’re gonna do it.

Spencer: Yeah, a lot happened the month that I was inside.

Sonny: You mean when Cameron and Josslyn were taped having sex in my cabin and now that tape has leaked out?

Spencer: Like that.

Sonny: You know what? Now we’re on the subject, we need to discuss your girlfriend, Esme. There’s a lot of things we need to talk about.

Spencer: Yeah, you’re damn right we do. Starting with why you thought it was okay to scare the hell out of her.

Nina: Hey, Curtis. Fantastic party. Hi.

Selina: Hi.

Curtis: Oh, um, Nina Reeves, editor-in-chief crimson. Ms. Selina Wu, entrepreneur.

Selina: It’s good to meet you, Ms. Reeves. I’ve long been a fan of your magazine.

Curtis: You have?

Selina: Of course. How is one to be taken seriously in business if one has no sense of trends or style? Wouldn’t you agree, Ms. Reeves?

Nina: I certainly would. Um, Ms. Wu, I think we have a mutual acquaintance — Sonny Corinthos.

Selina: Yes, Mr. Corinthos has proved to be a valuable friend, and one can never have too many of those. A pleasure to meet you.

Nina: [ Exhales sharply ] What was that?

Curtis: Trouble.

Felicia: Imagine. I used to be so bored with stocks and bonds.

Anna: You think that you and mac are gonna start investing now?

Felicia: Oh, no, no, no. Too risky.

Anna: Says the woman who went to Switzerland on her own to rescue her daughter.

Felicia: [ Chuckles ] Some risks are worth taking. Anna, I’m telling you, I can’t wait to see Victor Cassadine get his.

Anna: I know. Me, too. Tomorrow, we get the bad guy. Today, we…

Felicia: Celebrate.

Anna: Yeah, we do celebrate. Yes.

Felicia: Cheers.

Anna: [ Chuckles ]

Dante: Was the new alarm system armed?

Elizabeth: I disarmed it. The boys kept forgetting and setting it off.

Finn: Patrols are still driving by, right?

Dante: Yeah, they are, but they didn’t report any unusual activity last night.

Aiden: Shouldn’t we call Cam and let him know it happened again?

Jake: No, you heard mom. He’s got enough to deal with right now.

Aiden: Like what?

Jake: Like college stuff. Like girlfriend stuff. Do you want almond milk or regular?

Aiden: I want to feel safe in our house again.

Elizabeth: The dream was bad enough, but now… what if the reason I heard that person in my dream was because… they were right here, standing over me while I slept? Someone was in my house again.

Dante: Yeah, it sounds like it, and that someone is getting bolder.

Maxie: Brando, hey, looking sharp.

Sasha: Yes, he is.

Brando: Thank you, ladies. Likewise.

Lucy: Thank you. I was thinking. Um, today is so special, and I thought maybe the Face of Deception should also be the Voice of Deception.

Sasha: I’m not sure I understand.

Lucy: Well, since everybody’s here, all the guests have arrived and settled in, I would love it if you would perhaps say a few words, make a speech?

Maxie: Yeah, that’s a great idea.

Scott: For reasons that defy logic, you’re in love with Nikolas, and for more obvious reasons, Nikolas is in love with you. He’s crazy about you.

Ava: That’s certainly one way to look at it.

Scott: So, okay, he screws up a few times. Why pull that ripcord?

Ava: Okay, so calling you may have been a bit brash.

Scott: Okay, well, let’s take love out of the equation. I suggest that you hang on to your marital property. Plant your flag.

Ava: Well, Scotty, as always, you have been invaluable. I know exactly what I need to do.

Nikolas: I’m only invested in Esme insofar as she affects spencer.

Laura: Well, now that we know she’s not pregnant and they’re not a couple anymore, she doesn’t affect spencer, and she doesn’t need to be here.

Nikolas: I can’t leave her at Sonny’s mercy.

Laura: [ Sighs ] I seriously doubt that she’s in any real danger from Sonny Corinthos.

Nikolas: If I send Esme away and anything happens to her for any reason, Spencer will feel guilty for the rest of his life. Surely we don’t want that.

Laura: No, you’re right. We don’t want that. But we don’t want your wife to leave you, do we?

Nikolas: It was a rapidly evolving situation. When Spencer found out Esme might be pregnant, do you know who he confided in first?

Laura: Not victor.

Nikolas: You got it on the first guess. Now do you understand why I stepped in so quickly? It seemed like the best solution for everyone involved.

Laura: Did you tell Ava?

Nikolas: She was out the door before I could get that far.

Laura: Okay. Alright, well, maybe I can talk to her later. But don’t you think you should be a little more proactive about salvaging your own marriage?

Nikolas: You’re right. I’ll get right on it. Will you excuse me?

Laura: Mm-hmm.

[ Door opens ]

Esme: There’s some sun today. I’ll go read this outside.

Laura: Not before you hear what I have to say.

Sonny: Esme and I had a chat.

Spencer: In other words, you intimidated her?

Sonny: You’re gonna talk to me about intimidation after you just did time for terrorizing your stepmother and using my daughter Avery as a pawn?

Spencer: Yeah, I’ve made mistakes.

Sonny: And you’re still making them. You’re — you’re defending Esme after what she did to Cameron and Josslyn, even Trina.

Spencer: I don’t believe — I don’t believe that she did any of those things.

Sonny: Okay, well, let’s say it wasn’t Trina. Was it you?

Spencer: Oh, come on. You know that I would never do anything like that to her.

Sonny: Okay, then.

Spencer: Well, you should know that we’ve granted Esme sanctuary on Spoon Island to keep her safe — from you.

Sonny: You think I-I would hurt Esme?

Spencer: No, but she is afraid.

Sonny: Alright, what — what did she exactly say that went down between us?

Spencer: That if my father and uncle victor hadn’t shown up, she doesn’t know what would have happened.

Sonny: Okay, here’s what went down. I was just convincing her to own up to what she did. Victor and Nikolas came, and then she had all these waterworks. Like, it was, like, a bunch of crying and tears everywhere.

Spencer: I don’t think that you would ever physically harm Esme. Okay? I know that. And even if her fears are a little bit unwarranted, I can’t turn my back on her.

Sonny: Okay, h-h-here’s what I want to say to you, okay? Your loyalty should be to the people who have been by your side. You are backing the wrong horse.

Austin: So, how’s Leo?

Brook Lynn: He’s really good. Thanks.

Austin: Awesome. Cards on the table.

Brook Lynn: Okay, so —

Austin: Forgive me. Ladies first.

Brook Lynn: Okay, I don’t like you.

Austin: Great. Can’t come as a surprise that the feeling’s mutual.

Brook Lynn: No, it doesn’t.

Austin: Awesome.

Brook Lynn: Okay, but I do like Maxie.

Austin: So do I.

Brook Lynn: And putting our issues aside, I’ve seen you be a really good friend to her.

Austin: And I’ve seen you be a really good friend to her. So we have that in common. But the thing that we also have in common is that people like Leo, Bailey, they seem to be getting hurt when you and I are gunning for one another. So are you thinking what I’m thinking?

Brook Lynn: Cease-fire.

Austin: Deal.

Brook Lynn: Okay.

Austin: Would you be doing this if I wasn’t with Maxie?

Brook Lynn: Hell no.

Maxie: I love your dress, Mom. It’s great.

Felicia: Thank you.

Brook Lynn: He makes you happy?

Maxie: So far.

Brook Lynn: That’s all I care about.

Felicia: Same here.

Maxie: You like him, right, Mom?

Felicia: So far.

Dante: I’ll have this, uh, checked for prints, and then we’ll have to have you come down and have you prints done, as well, so we can exclude you.

Elizabeth: Yeah, okay, I’ll do that.

Dante: Hey, uh, in the meantime [Sighs] you know, your house has been accessed multiple times with new locks and keys. It might be an idea for you to stay somewhere else — at least until we find this person.

Elizabeth: I can’t do that to my boys. This is their home. They have been through enough.

Finn: You can all stay with me.

Elizabeth: What? No. Finn, you — you don’t even have enough space.

Finn: We’ll camp out. We’ll make it fun.

Elizabeth: [ Sighs ]

Dante: I-I’ll leave you guys to it, okay?

Finn: Yeah.

Dante: And I’ll let you know if I hear anything, alright?

Finn: Thanks, Dante.

Dante: Yeah, of course.

Finn: Okay. Maybe you’re right. Maybe my — maybe my place is not ideal. Uh, okay, how about I book a hotel for you on the boys?

Elizabeth: No, I can’t let you do that. I guess I can ask Laura if the boys can stay with her.

Finn: Okay. Okay, uh, where would you be?

Elizabeth: Far enough away to keep you all safe.

[ Glass clinking ]

Lucy: Hello, everyone. Thank you. Can we gather up a little bit? I just really want to thank you all for being here to celebrate Deception going public today. [ Chuckles ]

[ Applause ]

Lucy: And to commemorate this special occasion, a few words from the Face of Deception, Sasha Gilmore.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Sasha: No dream can be realized without hard work, and I work with some of the most dedicated women in the world. Lucy Coe, our founder…

Maxie: Whoo!

Sasha: …Maxie Jones…

[ Cheers and applause ]

Sasha: …And Brook Lynn Quartermaine…

[ Cheers and applause ]

Sasha: …And I think that they would agree this success couldn’t happen without the people standing in this room — the investors, Deception staff, friends and family, as well as those who are… …t hose who, uh, can only be here with us in spirit. To Deception.

Croud: To Deception. To Deception. To Deception. To Deception.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Spencer: You keep telling me that I need to grow up, that I need to protect, not punish the people who love me.

Sonny: Yeah, but Esme is not on that list. I don’t know what game Esme’s playing. I’m trying to figure it out, but I do know it’s all about Esme, and she’s gonna use you and whoever else to get what she wants.

Spencer: That is your opinion, but that’s not how I see her.

Sonny: Alright, if that’s what you think, look, you don’t know Esme like you think you do, and she’s just gonna use you, Spencer.

Spencer: I think I should get going.

Sonny: Alright, be careful, because, you know, I-I-I have made some choices in my life that have — that have hurt so many people that I love.

Spencer: Yeah.

Sonny: And I don’t know if I can get that back. And you are, um, dangerously close to walking in my shoes. Welcome home, nephew.

Laura: I certainly hope you had nothing to do with this video of Josslyn and Cameron.

Esme: Of course I didn’t. Why won’t anyone believe me?

Nikolas: We just have to let the police investigation run its course. In the meantime, I’m keeping an open mind.

Laura: My son has extended his hospitality to you. I hope you won’t betray that trust.

Ava: We already know the answer to that.

Selina: A lovely speech. Are you an investor, Mr. Ashford?

Curtis: Oh, I don’t discuss my portfolio, Ms. Wu, but I’m sure you made a bundle on your shares of Deception. Seems you won’t need to host poker here anymore.

Selina: I’ll be the judge of what I need. And if you agree to my terms, I’ll provide whatever it is that you need.

Maxie: It’s going up again.

Sasha: Nina, what — what does this mean?

Nina: It means that you’re…

Brook Lynn: Insanely rich.

Gladys: That means we are, too.

[ Both chuckle ]

Finn: I was thinking you could stay with me and Violet.

Elizabeth: I can’t. Look at what’s happening. This insanity isn’t about the house. It’s just the place that it’s happening. My family is being targeted, and I don’t know why. And I’m not gonna put my boys or you and Violet at risk. So the best thing is for me to just stay by myself.

Finn: Stay where? Here?

Elizabeth: It doesn’t seem to matter where I go, so I’m just gonna stay put.

Finn: I’m gonna take the boys to school, alright? And then when I get back, we’re gonna talk about this.

Elizabeth: No, Finn, I’ve made up my mind. No one is going to run me out of the house I shared with my husband.

Aiden: I love spending time with grandma, but leaving mom here by herself?

Jake: It’ll be okay. Mom’s tough. And Dante will catch the person who’s doing this.

Aiden: He hasn’t yet. Someone keeps sneaking into our house without getting caught. How does a person do that? Unless… what if it’s not a person at all?

Jake: Of course it’s a person. How else would you explain what happened with mom’s ring and the portrait in Franco’s art studio?

Aiden: Jake… what if it’s Franco?

On the next “General Hospital” —

Anna: You have my attention.

Nikolas (to Ava): Is that an ultimatum?

Sam (to Dante): We’ve uncovered something.

Victor (to Laura): What exactly did I say that upset you so much?

Esme (to Spencer): … don’t think there’s a path forward for us?

Curtis (to Drew): We’re gonna have to fight like hell until it’s over.

Stella (to Marshall): I need to know this will not blow up in my face.

Sonny: What if I say no?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sarah as renee: You’re trying to stop the wedding, but you need to admit it: You’ve lost. Tony and I are in love, and we’re getting married. I just need to find someone in this damn hospital to stick me with a needle.

Anna: Why don’t I do it?

Maggie: Anna!

Sarah as renee: [Gasps] Ow, you bitch!

Tony: Anna, what have you done?

Gwen: They should’ve given that drug to sarah by no come on, xander, why haven’t I heard from you yet?

Gabi: Drinking alone? What’s the matter, trouble in paradise?

Jake: So here it is. Home, sweet home. I know. I know. You’re used to nicer places, but…

Ava: Nah, it’s–it’s fine.

Jake: Very convincing.

Ava: No, really, it’s– it’s great.

Jake: Mm.

Ava: And I’m really grateful to you for giving me a place to stay. It’s just… you know, I finally let myself believe that I was gonna have a real home with rafe, and… now that’s all over.

Rafe: Hey.

Shawn: Hey.

Rafe: Things are a little slow around here. Why don’t you go home, spend some time with your wife?

Shawn: Oh, thanks for the offer, but I want to get these reports off my plate. Besides, belle’s at statesville.

Rafe: Oh, yeah? What’s she doing out there?

Shawn: Warden called, said a prisoner wants to see her.

Belle: If I’d known that you were the prisoner who wanted to see me, I most certainly would not have come.

Jan: Aw. That hurts my feelings.

Belle: You and I have nothing to talk about, jan.

Jan: Oh, but we do.

[Dramatic music]

Belle: What the hell is that?

Jan: What does it look like? It’s my baby.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Maggie: My god, anna! You had no right to do that.

Anna: Well, someone had to take action.

Tony: It wasn’t your decision to make.

Xander: How do you feel?

Sarah as renee: How do you think I feel? What was in that needle?

Anna: I did you a favor, sarah horton. Thanks to what’s in this syringe, you’re going to get your memory back, and then you can stop living life as a dead woman.

Sarah as renee: My memory is fine, you hag! Which you will soon find out when I report every detail of your attack to the police.

Tony: There’s no reason to involve the police.

Sarah as renee: This woman is a menace, tony! She needs to be stopped!

Xander: Wait, wait, wait, wait! Damn it!

Maggie: Have you completely lost your mind?

Anna: [Scoffs]

Shawn: I’m assuming that it was ej who asked to see belle. There’s a good chance he might be released soon.

Rafe: Released? On what grounds?

Shawn: It’s a long story. Bottom line: Belle planted evidence against him when she was possessed.

Rafe: Ah, that old story.

Shawn: Yeah, I know. It’s crazy. Not sure the judge is gonna go for it, but we’ve got pretty good reason to believe that it’s true.

Rafe: Why would the devil frame ej? Did I really just ask what the devil’s mo would be?

Shawn: Well, our theory is that satan wanted to destroy sami and ej’s relationship, just like he did abe and paulina’s and jake and gabi and not to mention mine and belle’S.

Rafe: That’s right. The devil sicced jan spears on you two.

Shawn: Pretty much ruined our wedding anniversary.

Belle: You’re pregnant?

Jan: It’s not like I’m getting fat off the food in here.

Belle: [Scoffs] I don’t understand. How did that happen?

Jan: Did you skip sex ed at salem high? Oh, that’s right. You were all about abstinence. You and that lame purity ring. So allow me to explain: When a boy and a girl like each other–

Belle: Okay, jan, I know how babies are made. What I’m asking is, how did you manage to get knocked up in prison? What, are you having sex with the guards?

Jan: Ick! No.

Belle: Hmm.

Jan: I would never.

Belle: Then who could be the father of your baby?

Jan: Who else? My beloved shawn-douglas.

[Tense music]

I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

[Dramatic music]

Ava: No, I just feel like an idiot, you know? I thought I’d found true love with rafe.

Jake: Mm.

Ava: You know, we were gonna build a life together. But the whole time, he was just pining for my best friend. So now nicole gets the house with the white picket fence, and I get a room above a garage. No offense.

Jake: None taken.

Ava: You know want to know what the worst part is? I had this crazy idea that if I tried to be a better person, if I tried to change my old ways that somehow I’d be worthy of his love.

Jake: [Sighs]

Ava: Yeah, but that was all for nothing.

Jake: I hear you. I tried to change who I was for gabi, and all I got was heartache.

Gabi: So what’s up with you and xander?

Gwen: No–no. What do you think you’re doing?

Gabi: What? This seat is obviously not taken.

Gwen: I don’t want company, and I certainly don’t want yours.

Gabi: You know, you look pathetic sitting here alone. Trust me, I’m doing you a favor.

Gwen: Don’t you have a business to run?

Gabi: I did have a meeting, yes, and the client was a no-show, so I decided to get a drink.

Gwen: Well, there are lots of other bars and pubs around here, so… off you go, then.

Gabi: Gwen, why are you being so hostile? If anything, I’m the one who should be holding a grudge.

Gwen: Ugh, and you’re still here.

Gabi: You know, you spiked abigail’s drink, you kept your mouth shut, and you let everybody think that it was me. I almost ended up back in prison.

Gwen: If only you had, I’d be drinking in peace.

Gabi: [Scoffs] Yeah, I’m starting to wonder why I didn’t let abigail just inject you with that syringe full of crazy juice.

Gwen: You may have saved my neck, yes, but you ended up sealing sarah horton’s fate.

Anna: Maggie, there’s no reason to be upset.

Maggie: How can I not be upset when you just injected my daughter with a drug that hasn’t been fully vetted?

Tony: What? Is that true, anna?

Anna: No! Well, not exactly. Chad said that the lab’s unofficial opinion was that the drug is safe.

Maggie: Yeah, but they recommended a full panel of testing.

Anna: Which would’ve taken months or years.

Maggie: I don’t give a damn how long it would have taken. We’re talking about my daughter’s health and her well-being here. I wanted to wait, but no, no. No.

Tony: Maggie, I’m so sorry for what anna’s done.

Anna: Well, I’m not sorry at all. Dr. Rolf promised chad that the antidote would work. And he swore on stefano’s grave. And you know how devoted that creep was to your father. Sarah could be getting her memories back right now, as we speak.

Tony: Yeah, and that would be great, anna. But that doesn’t excuse your reckless behavior! And I don’t blame that she’s furious and terrified of what might happen to her daughter. Don’t you think she’s suffered enough?

Maggie: I’m gonna go talk to the lab techs and explain what happened. Hopefully they’ll be able to tell me what my options are now that you have put my daughter’s very life at risk.

Anna: Maggie, I was only trying to help.

Maggie: No! No, no, anna. What you did was not out of concern or compassion for sarah. It was strictly selfish. So if something happens to her, it’ll be on your head.

Tony: Oh, anna. How could you?

Rafe: I still can’t believe that the devil transformed jan to look exactly like belle, all so she could lure you into bed.

Shawn: Listen, given everything that was happening at the time, I was suspicious from the beginning. I did everything that I could to try to test her–everything. And unfortunately, and in looking back, with an obvious assist from satan, she sure as hell fooled me. She managed to make me believe that she was my wife.

Rafe: Well, at least belle came in and broke it up before anything happened between you two. She did, didn’t she?

Shawn: Listen, I–

Rafe: Sarah! I heard you were here.

Sarah as renee: [Scoffs] I’m not sarah. My name is renee dumonde. And I’m here to report a crime.

[Tense music]

Belle: You think shawn– my shawn–is the father of your baby?

Jan: I don’t think. I know.

Belle: Wow, prison has really caused you to have some kind of mental break–again.

Jan: Rude. I’m perfectly sane.

Belle: It’s impossible, jan. Shawn can’t be the father of your baby.

Jan: Well, I haven’t had sex with anyone else besides your husband.

Belle: God, you and shawn did not have sex.

Jan: But we did. You should know better than anyone. You walked in on us. Remember?

Belle: Who are you?

Jan as belle: Who am I? Who are you?

Shawn: Hey, hold on, wait. If you’re–wait, if you’re here, then how can– how can you be there?

Belle: Shawn, I am your wife! Whoever that is in the bed with you isn’t me!

Shawn: No, I don’t understand.

Jan: Oops.

Belle: [Scoffs]

The lows of bipolar depression

Anna: Tony, please, don’t be angry.

Tony: And why wouldn’t i be angry? You’ve just put sarah’s life in danger. For all we know, that drug could kill her.

Anna: What? No. The lab would have warned us if that was ever a possibility.

Tony: Well, whatever the outcome, you had absolutely no right to do what you just did–none.

Anna: And why not? Why don’t I have a say in all of this?

Tony: Because I thought the answer would be obvious. Sarah is not your daughter.

Anna: But you’re my husband. And my life, our lives have been turned upside down by that woman’s insane delusions. I mean, my god, we don’t even live together.

Tony: Oh, but, anna, you know that’s only temporary. I understand that you are frustrated and angry…

Anna: Mm.

Tony: But you had no right to do what you just did.

[Both sigh] You assaulted that poor woman, and now she’s gone to the police. Not only have you alienated maggie, but you’ve also infuriated and embarrassed your husband.

[Sighs] You could be in very deep trouble.

Sarah as renee: Anna fredericks stabbed me with a syringe just now at the hospital. And god only knows what was in it.

Shawn: Why would she do that?

Sarah as renee: Ugh, because she’s jealous of me. She wants me out of the way so that she can have tony all to herself. But he doesn’t love her. He loves me.

Shawn: Aunt maggie filled me in. It’s complicated.

Xander: There you are. Come on, we need to get back to the hospital right now. Come on.

Sarah as renee: Get your hands off of me, alex!

Rafe: Alex?

Xander: Kristen injected her with the same drug that gwen used on abigail. She’s hallucinating.

Rafe: Okay, so anna didn’t assault her?

Xander: Actually, that part did happen.

Sarah as renee: Yes, and I demand justice.

Gabi: Okay, so that drug made sarah think she was stefano’s dead daughter?

Gwen: Rolf has produced an antidote, apparently. And maggie and xander are at the hospital with sarah now.

Gabi: I get it. I get why you’re in such a foul mood. Sarah very soon will be herself, the brilliant, amazing doctor. She and xander will undoubtedly get back together.

Gwen: If you are going to gloat about me losing the man that I love, please just go do it somewhere else.

Gabi: No. No, I’m not–I’m not gloating. Sympathizing. See, you are about to lose the man that you love… but I already have.

Jake: [Chuckles] You know, I jumped through hoops to be with gabi… played the part of the sophisticated executive…

Ava: Mm.

Jake: Aka my dead brother, just to make her happy, and it seemed to work for a while.

Ava: Yeah. You two actually did seem to be pretty happy.

Jake: Yeah, well… thing is, all the corporate backstabbing didn’t just stay in the boardroom. It seeped into the bedroom as well.

Ava: Thought you two liked plotting together.

Jake: Sure, it could be a bit of a turn-on, but… after a while, I just realized it’s not who I am. It’s not what I want. I think, at the end of the day, at heart, I’m just A… simple mechanic. You…

Ava: What about me?

Jake: Well, it’s just my opinion, but…[Clears throat] Doesn’t seem that you were cut out to be some domestic goddess serving ziti to the commish. You’re more badass than that, right?

Ava: All right. Okay, all right. So what am I meant to be, huh? A mob boss?

Jake: Well, you like being in control, ava. You gave up power for a fairy tale that went to hell. So if you ask me, you and I… never should’ve tried to be people we’re not.

[Dramatic music]

Jan: Best christmas eve ever. My bff satan transformed me into you… which under ordinary circumstances would be kind of nauseating. Why would I ever want to be boring old you? But in this case, it allowed me to get shawn into bed. And believe me… once we got going, it was all me.

Belle: I remember that night too–very clearly. And I got there before you two had sex.

Jan: Uh, no, you didn’T. You got there before round two. Guess you can call it a intermission. But before you walked in, shawn-douglas and i jingled all the way.

Belle: No. That’s impossible. Shawn would’ve told me that.

Jan: I have to admit, I was a little surprised he didn’t say anything at the time, seeing as how he’s usually all about the truth. So I just kept my mouth shut. I figured he wanted it to be our little secret. Guess the secret’s out now.

Jake: Well, that concludes the grand tour. Sorry my kitchen’s not as spacious as rafe’s, but I make up for it in other areas.

Ava: Mm, all right. Well, you know, like you said, maybe I need to reinvent myself, ditch the apron.

Jake: Nah, nah, slow down, turbo. I didn’t say stop cooking altogether, all right? I do appreciate a nice home-cooked meal every once in a while.

Ava: All right, you’re on. Oh, god. It’s one way I can contribute, I suppose.

Jake: Yeah, great. Well, I’ll let you get settled in.

Ava: Hey, you know, jake, I do have a question for you, though.

Jake: Shoot.

Ava: So I– I see you got a bed, no couch, and… so what kind of a sleeping arrangement you thinking?

Gwen: You and jake broke up?

Gabi: Music to your ears, I’m sure. I know how much you hated me for stealing him away from you.

Gwen: Well, I won’t lie. I did have some rather vivid daydreams about setting your hair on fire and then pushing you off a cliff and wrapping your body in–

Gabi: Okay. No, I get it. I get the picture.

Gwen: I have since… gotten past all that anger, though. And for what it’s worth… I’m sorry that it didn’t work out with you and jake.

Gabi: No, you’re not. What, you are?

Gwen: [Chuckles] You and he were a much better match than he and I were. You made the bugger happy.

Gabi: Why are you being nice to me?

Gwen: Well, as you pointed out, yes, you did save me from that syringe. And if you hadn’t have torched my relationship with jake, then I…

[Sighs] I wouldn’t have fallen in love with xander. And with any luck, he’s going to be the man that i spend the rest of my life with.

Anna: Why? Why would I be in trouble? Sarah horton is a total lunatic. No one is going to take her rantings and ravings seriously.

Sarah as renee: There she is. Go and cuff her.

Anna: What for? I was trying to help you.

Shawn: So you admit to injecting this woman with an unknown substance?

Anna: It was an antidote developed by a world-renowned doctor. And any second now, sarah is going to get her memory back. I’m guessing it hasn’t started working yet.

Xander: Not as far as I can tell.

Anna: Well, give it time, you know, and soon sarah will be back to her old self, and then everyone can thank me.

Sarah as renee: How much more proof do you need? The bimbo just admitted to sticking me with a needle without my consent. There are witnesses. Arrest her already.

Shawn: I’m afraid I have no choice.

Anna: But I was trying to help her.

Shawn: Regardless of your motives, I still have to take you in.

Anna: What? No. No, this is wrong. Tony, you can’t let them do this to me. Tony.

Tony: I’m sorry.

Shawn: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you can’t afford one, one will be provided for you.

Anna: Tony. Tony.

Tony: I’m sorry. My hands are tied.

[Tense music]

Belle: You’re lying, jan. You’re just–you’re just trying to get under my skin.

Jan: It is super fun to watch you freak out, but I’m telling you the truth. Shawn and I made passionate love that night. And he gave me the greatest gift ever… the gift of life.

Belle: Are you really even pregnant? I mean, how do I know that’s not a pillow under there?

Jan: That feel real enough for you?

Belle: So you’re pregnant. But even if that baby is shawn’s, why not say something sooner? Why not shout it from the rooftops?

Jan: I didn’t want to jinx it. I wanted to make sure that I could get through my first trimester. And now that I have, I figured it’s time to share my good news. And before I shout it from the rooftops, I figured I would start with you, you know, seeing as how we go way back. So… aren’t you gonna congratulate me? Looking to get back in your type 2 diabetes zone?

Gwen: I don’t understand why jake is so upset with you. You had every right to believe that he’d stab you in the back.

Gabi: He thinks I should’ve confronted him, given him a chance to explain. Instead I double-crossed him.

Gwen: Well, course you did. I would’ve done the bloody same thing. I’m just surprised that he didn’t give you a second chance.

Gabi: Yeah, well… it didn’t help that he walked in on me almost having sex with johnny dimera.

Gwen: His nephew?

Gabi: It was such a stupid mistake. I don’t even like johnny. He’s obnoxious and pushy and full of himself. I was just–I was lonely, and I felt betrayed.

Gwen: I get it.

Gabi: You do?

Gwen: Yeah. Yeah, I do.

[Sighs] It’s funny, ’cause you and i are actually a lot alike. We get hurt. We lash out. We react impulsively.

Gabi: And then end up going to extremes.

Gwen: Yep. Exactly.

[Dramatic music]

Sarah as renee: So now that ms. Fredericks is in police custody, we can get back to the business of becoming mr. And mrs. Tony dimera.

Tony: Yes, definitely.

Sarah as renee: So shall we go back to the exam room and wait for our blood tests?

Tony: Why don’t i find out what the delay is and I’ll meet you there?

Sarah as renee: Fine.

Xander: [Sighs]

Tony: Oh, so what now?

Xander: I say we keep playing along. I mean, we’ll want to keep her here until we see how she reacts to the drug.

Tony: Yeah, this is the safest place for her, here.

Xander: Let’s just pray that the only reaction that she has is getting her memory back.

Tony: Yeah.

Xander: Yeah.

Maggie: Where is everybody?

Xander: Well, sarah just had anna arrested for assault, and now sarah and tony are waiting for their supposed blood tests.

Maggie: Well, thank god sarah’s still here.

Xander: What did you learn at the lab?

Maggie: The drug is probably safe, except they do want to flush it out of her system just in case.

Xander: Oh, they can do that, can they?

Maggie: I guess, in a certain amount of time, they can.

Xander: Are you sure that’s what you want?

Maggie: Why wouldn’t I?

Xander: Well, because there’s a chance the drug might work. Maggie, maybe we should wait. I mean, if the antidote has the desired effect… just imagine what a relief it would be… to have our sarah back.

Shawn: I just left anna in the interrogation room, and she’s a handful.

Rafe: Told you you should’ve clocked out early.

Shawn: Well, does the offer still stand? I’m sure belle’s home by now.

Rafe: Absolutely. What about our conversation? Earlier, before sarah came in? Seemed like you had something on your mind.

Shawn: Y– yeah, it’s not important. But thanks.

Rafe: Uh-huh.

Shawn: Have a good night, man.

Rafe: Okay.

Jan: You know, this little miracle growing inside of me has given me a second chance at motherhood. You remember when I got pregnant in high school?

Belle: I have to go.

Jan: What nicole’s father did to me was unspeakable. And I felt so ashamed, and I wanted to terminate the pregnancy, but shawn, he convinced me not to. And it wasn’t just talk. He–he was willing to marry me. He was willing to raise the child as his own. And so began our love story.

Belle: Shawn never loved you.

Jan: Of course he did. He was so kind and caring. But then I lost the baby. And I lost shawn too. But this time– this time, the baby is his. And we have another chance to raise a child together. It’s–it’s all come full circle, like a dream come true.

Belle: Like a total nightmare. And even if this is true, god forbid, and shawn is the father of that baby, he is not only going to not want to raise it with you. He is gonna be horrified, disgusted! He thinks you’re evil and crazy, just like every other person who’s had the misfortune of crossing paths with you!

Jan: Look, I know this is a lot to take in right now. But I really do think that we should try to get along. After all, my child and i are going to be in shawn’s life from now on. I hope that’s not gonna be a problem for you.

[Door slams] I think she took the news quite well, don’t you? Oh, man that is wrinkly.

Ava: So… where am I gonna sleep, jake?

Jake: You’re gonna take the bed, and I’ll take the floor.

Ava: Oh, come on, this is your place. I can’t let you do that.

Jake: Eh, it’s just for the night. I’ll grab an air mattress tomorrow.

Ava: You sure?

Jake: I wouldn’t offer if I’m not sure. You get settled in. I’m gonna– I’m gonna have a shower.

Ava: Mm. Hey, jake.

Jake: Yeah.

Ava: Thanks. I really appreciate what you’re doing for me.

Jake: Eh.

[Dramatic music]

Gabi: When I thought jake betrayed me, I wanted to kill him. Now that I know the truth, I’m– god, I’ve made such a mess of things. I would do anything to make it right.

Gwen: So talk to him.

Gabi: Did that. Didn’t go so well.

Gwen: [Sighs] I don’t know. Jake and I used to have these horrible, big blowups all the time, and I was sure that it was over for good, but then we’d just have fabulous make-up sex, and everything would be fine and dandy.

Gabi: Mm-mm-mm, I don’t know. I don’t know. Today when we parted ways, it– gwen, it felt pretty final.

Maggie: Xander, I know how much you want sarah back. So do I. But we just don’t know enough about this drug.

Xander: Rolf, he was so sure it would work.

Maggie: I’m sorry. The word of dr. Wilhelm rolf, it doesn’t hold a lot of weight with me, especially when it comes to my daughter, her life.

[Sniffles]

Xander: I know you’re right, maggie. It’s just, it just felt like we were so close.

Maggie: Yeah, it did. And it’s so frustrating.

[Sighs] But we have to be patient.

Xander: Don’t have a lot of choice now.

Maggie: [Sniffles] You know, sarah’s gonna put up quite a fight when she realizes they want to flush this drug out of her system. I better go check on her.

Xander: You mind if i stick around? I’d like to make sure she’s okay.

Maggie: Um… you know, xander, I hate to say this, but having alex around, it’s just gonna make sarah more upset.

Xander: You’re probably right.

Maggie: But I’ll keep you updated, I promise.

Xander: Thanks, maggie.

Maggie: You hang in there, okay?

Xander: Yeah.

Maggie: Yeah.

Xander: [Sighs]

Gabi: Ooh, these things go down pretty easy. Should I get us another round?

[Phone beeps]

Gwen: It’s xander. He wants to talk.

Shawn: Oh, good, you’re back. You are never gonna believe what happened at work today. Honey, is everything okay?

Belle: No, it’s not.

Shawn: What is it? Is it about what happened at the prison with ej?

Belle: No, ej wasn’t the prisoner who asked to see me.

Shawn: Who was it?

Belle: Jan spears.

Trelegy for copd.

Jake: Bathroom’s all yours.

Ava: Mm, thanks.

[Knock at door]

Jake: [Sighs] It’s got to be for ben and ciara. Nobody knows I live here except– gabi.

Gabi: Jake, I– what the hell is she doing here?

[Tense music]

Anna: This is just wrong. Rafe, you can’t keep me here. I mean, sarah horton is not in her right mind. Something had to be done.

Rafe: You confessed to stabbing her with a syringe. Besides, there were three eyewitnesses.

Anna: But it’s not fair. I was only trying to help.

[Knock at door] Oh.

Tony: May I have a word with my wife?

Anna: Mm.

Rafe: [Chuckles] Be my guest.

Anna: Oh, tony, thank god you’re here. I mean, you’d think I was a common criminal.

Tony: Yes, well, I’ve arranged an attorney for you.

Anna: Oh, thank you, but I don’t think I’ll need one. I mean, any second now, sarah is going to get her memories back, and when she does, she’ll be so grateful that I helped her, you know, she’ll drop these ridiculous charges.

Tony: [Chuckles] You’d better pray that’s true, for sarah’s sake… as well as your own.

[Dramatic music]

Sarah as renee: Oh. It’s you.

Maggie: Where’s tony?

Sarah as renee: He went to get his blood taken. Where is that damn nurse?

Maggie: I’m sure someone will be along shortly.

Sarah as renee: Well, I hope so. And then tony and i can finally…

Maggie: Sarah?

Sarah: Yes?

Maggie: Oh, my god. You know who you are?

Xander: Maggie wanted the drug thoroughly tested before sarah was injected, but anna was just so angry and over it all that she grabbed the needle and jabbed sarah with it.

Gwen: Oh, my god. So what now?

Xander: Well, maggie asked for the drug to be flushed totally out of sarah’s system in case it’s dangerous, but… a part of me hopes that she changes her mind and we can see if the drug works, you know, see if sarah gets her memory back.

[Tense music]

Gwen: There you are.

[Sighs] Rolf’s antidote. Well, good thing I kept an extra dose of rolf’s mind-altering drug. So now you just need to… just switch them. Just switch them. Just switch it with the antidote. Just do it. Alter sarah’s mind even more.

[Faint rustling]

Yeah, I think you’re right. I think sarah would be better off if they just left the drug in her system.

Maggie: Sarah… do you remember who you are?

Sarah: Of course I do. I’m sarah horton, and you’re my mommy.

Maggie: [Sobs]

Jan: Mommy really enjoyed her visit with belle. Although I think the poor thing was still in denial when she left. But don’t worry. I’m sure daddy will set her straight.

Shawn: After all this time, what does jan want?

Belle: She had some news that she just couldn’t wait to share with me.

Shawn: Oh, what news?

Belle: She’s pregnant. And she claims that the baby’s yours.

Deacon: Finn, steffy, can you hear me? Steffy, just hang on. Help is coming. Where the hell is that ambulance? Oh my god. Oh my– what happened?

Sheila: Oh, this can’t be real. This isn’t hap– I would not do this.

Steffy: You did this

for yourself.

You did this because brooke

put her foot down about hayes

being in your life.

Sheila: What difference

does it make, because

the outcome is the same.

Ridge left brooke

for your mother.

Steffy: And I’m supposed to

be thanking you, the psychopath

who set this all in motion?

You know who I should be

thanking? Brooke, who stood u–

Sheila: Whoa– now, all of a

sudden, you’re team brooke?

Steffy: I’m on anyone’s

team, but yours.

Anyone who’s willing to

join me to get you away

from finn and my son.

You’ll never see them again.

Never.

[ Echoing ]

You’ll never see them again.

Again. Never again.

Never again. Never.

[ Gunshot ringing ]

Steffy: No!

Sheila: My boy. My precious boy. What have I done?

[ Gagging ]

[ Coughing ]

[ Crickets chirping ]

Thomas: This is really ambitious.

Ridge: Well, for anyone but your sister. I think the proposal is innovative. Look at the revenue stream that’s going to create. There’s this whole company. And not just for a year, but for years to come. Maybe decades.

Taylor: Ah, you are all such a good team. Steffy loves running this company with you, ridge.

Ridge: Yeah. You know what? She doesn’t really need me to run this company. And now, with this guy in the design department, I don’t have to be here at all.

Taylor: Ridge, this is what you’ve always wanted. When the kids were little, you used to talk about wanting the kids to work with you. Carry on the family legacy.

Thomas: And we’re proud to do it.

Ridge: And I’m proud of what we accomplished with this company, with us, this family. Look, you’ve been through so much, and you’re so much better for it. And your sister, she’s married, she’s got kids. You guys are happy. That’s all we can hope for, right? Our kids to be happy and live long, happy lives.

Taylor: I think it’s wonderful, the way the three of you work together.

Ridge: Well, like you said, the three of us are a team.

Taylor: Yes.

Thomas: Yeah, well, we have a good captain.

Ridge: We do have a good captain. Steffy’s great. She’s also great at the problem solving. Right? Anything goes wrong, she goes out and she fixes.

Thomas: Yeah. Like that supply issue last week. I needed silk. I never thought I would actually see it. But then steffy, she gets it done. It was in the cutting room, the next morning.

Taylor: That’s because she’s a doer. Go, go, go. She’s been like that her whole life.

Ridge: Sounds like her mother.

Taylor: Your mother, too?

Ridge: My mother? Yes.

Taylor: Yes.

Ridge: She always got things done.

Taylor: Yep.

Ridge: Got other people’s things done too. Couldn’t stay out of people’s business.

[ Laughing ] I loved that woman. But steffy. She’s her own person. She’s got her own path that she’s on and she’s walking it.

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: Her career, her life. It’s where she wants to be.

Taylor: Motorcycles and leather.

Thomas: Oh, god.

[ Laughing ] Zip lines?

Ridge: Oh, yeah. Oh, if she wants to get something done, she gets it done. She puts her mind to it. She’s unstoppable.

[ Ambulance siren ]

Deacon: Hey, over here! Come on! Found ’em like this, shot. Uh, I don’t think she–

Medic: Sir, step back.

Deacon: He doesn’t have a pulse. She’s not moving.

Medic: Dispatch. This is 501. We’re on scene, 113 just arrived.

Medic: Two victims, both gsws.

Deacon: Please help them.

Medic: Female gunshot victim, you know her? How old is she, what’s her name?

Deacon: 30s. Uh, steffy forrester. This– this is her husband, uh, john finnegan. He’s not moving. Come on, please. You got to do something. Is she going to be okay? Come on, man. Is she alive?

[Sfx: Chicken clucking]

[ Overlapping crosstalk ]

[ Sirens booming ]

Deacon: What– what’s happening? Is she breathing?

Medic: Bp is 70/30, dropping, push another bolus–

Deacon: What– what does that mean? Uh, is she going to be okay? Is she alive?

Medic: Yes, she’s alive.

Deacon: Thank god.

Medic: Prepare for transport. Alert the trauma team.

Deacon: What about her husband? Are they going to be able to save him?

Medic: Secure. I’m on it.

Officer: What do we got?

Medic: Two gunshot victims, critical.

Officer: Who called this in?

Deacon: Uh, I– I did. Uh, I did.

Officer: What happened?

Deacon: Uh, that’s steffy forrester. That’s her husband, john finnegan. I– I couldn’t find a pulse.

Officer: You stay right there.

Deacon: Okay. Hang in there, steffy.

Taylor: I really love staying with steffy. And finn. I mean, I know I’m going to get my own place eventually, but. I just– I love seeing them together. Their relationship is just– it’s so strong. They’re so good for each other.

Ridge: It starts with finn. What a great guy, huh?

Taylor: Yes.

Ridge: He’s a good dad.

Taylor: So true.

Ridge: The moment he walked in, I liked that kid. There’s just something cool about him. He’s been there for steffy. He’s a good husband, he’s a good father, all the great qualities. Ever wonder where that comes from? Because his birth mother is a psycho? Am I wrong?

Sheila: I didn’t want to hurt anybody. Finn wasn’t even supposed to be there. No. No! Finn. My son. My son.

[ Gurney clattering ]

Deacon: This is so wrong. He can’t be dead. He’s got a wife. He’s got kids. Why can’t they help him?

Officer: If you wanna help, I need you to ask my questions. Start from the beginning.

Deacon: I came out, I was taking the trash out and, uh– I just saw ’em on the ground.

Officer: Did you see anybody else?

Deacon: No.

Officer: Hear the gunshots?

Deacon: No.

[ Radio chatter ] Who the hell would do this?

Sheila: I killed them both. I killed my own son.

[ Brush tangling ] The world is full of make or break moments.

Bridget: Got the blood work? Okay– oh no, what do we have here?

Medic: Female, 30s, single small caliber gunshot to the upper chest, through and through.

Bridget: Steffy!

Nurse: You know her?

Bridget: I do. Go on.

Medic: Vitals unstable, respiratory rate, 41, hypotensive and tachycardic. Bilateral ivs with fluid bolus administered.

Bridget: How much?

Medic: 250 cc.

Bridget: Put her in room three. Get her stabilized immediately. Alert the or, just in case. Order ct a scan. And x-ray. Listen to me, steffy hang in there. We’re gonna take good care of you.

[ Radio chatter ]

Deacon: Uh, it’s deacon sharpe. S-h-a-r-p-E.

Officer: You said you know both victims?

Deacon: Yes. Steffy’s father is married to my daughter’s mother. Oh, my god. I got to tell him.

Officer: Santa clara will notify the family.

Deacon: No, that’s not enough time. They got to get over to the hospital. Steffy might not make it. Look, she’s already lost her husband. They got to know what’s going on.

Deacon: Okay. Make the call. Put it on speakerphone.

Deacon: Okay.

[ Phone dialing ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Ridge: Seriously?

Thomas: Who is it?

Ridge: It’s deacon, what does he want from me?

Taylor: Oh, I think you should probably answer. He wouldn’t call if it wasn’t important, right?

Ridge: What do you want?

Deacon: Ridge don’t hang up. Something terrible has happened.

I’m– I’m at the restaurant.

There’s been a shooting. Uh–

Ridge: There’s been what?

Deacon: The police are trying to figure out what happened. Ridge.

It’s steffy and finn.

They’ve been shot.

You need to get to

university hospital right now.

Steffy’s not doing well. Finn. Finn didn’t make it.

Ridge, go now.

Steffy needs you.

Taylor: What is going on? Ridge? What?

Ridge: Uh, there’s– there’s been a shooting, steffy and finn have been shot.

Thomas: What?

Ridge: So, we gotta get to the hospital.

Taylor: Oh, my god.

Covid-19 moves fast,

Sheila: I said, drop it.

Steffy: You’re crazy.

Finn needs an ambulance.

Sheila: Steffy, do not make

that call.

Steffy: No!

Sheila: Steffy wouldn’t listen. Now, they’re both dead.

[ Door knocking ]

Deacon: Sheila, it’s me. Open up. I need to talk to you.

[ Rapid knocking] Sheila, open up.

Sheila: Deacon. Couple of minutes earlier, you could have taken a shower with me.

[ Gulping ]

[ Sniffling ]

Deacon: Sheila, sit down.

Sheila: Is something wrong?

Deacon: It– it’s terrible. You need to sit down. It’s, uh– it’s, it’s steffy and finn. They– they’ve been shot.

Sheila: Shot?

Deacon: Yeah, at il giardino uh, in the alley. Think maybe it’s a– a robbery or something.

Sheila: Are– are they okay? Where are they? We gotta go.

Deacon: Sheila, sheila. Sorry. Don’T. Don’T.

Deacon: Sheila, he’s gone. He didn’t make it. I’m so sorry. I’m sorry.

[ Sobbing ]

Taylor: Hi, um, we need to see our daughter.

Ridge: Steffy forrester. She’s been shot.

Nurse: The doctor’s with–

Ridge: What doctor–

Bridget: Ridge.

Ridge: Hey, what do you– how is she?

Bridget: Steffy’s sustained a single gunshot wound to her chest. She lost a lot of blood, and she’s unconscious. We’re waiting for the results of the ct scan and the x-ray, and she is in grave condition. We’re checking for head trauma.

Ridge: Okay, okay.

Bridget: We’re giving her blood, we’re trying to raise her blood pressure, in case she needs surgery.

Ridge: You know about the opiods? She can’t–

Bridget: I do, I do.

Taylor: Okay, we need to see her.

Bridget: I understand. I can’t imagine how you’re feeling right now, but–

Taylor: We need to see her now, please.

Bridget: Follow me.

[ Machines beeping ] She’s very weak. You can only stay a few minutes. I’ll be right outside.

[ Taylor shuddering ]

Ridge: Hey, it’s dad. And your mom, and your brother.

Thomas: Yeah, we’re– we’re right here. We’re right here, sis. Look, it’s going to be okay. You are the strongest, most stubborn person I’ve ever met. And I love you so much.

Taylor: We all love you, baby.

Ridge: And you’re gonna pull through this.

Thomas: You have to.

Taylor: Baby, it’s mom. Oh, I’m right here. I’m right here, steffy. Your family is here with you, right now. We just… we just need you to keep breathing, baby. That’s all we need. Okay, that’s all you have to do right now.

[ Sniffling ] I know it’s scary. I know it is. I’ve been where you are. And I know everything feels so far away right now. But it’s not, steffy. You’re here with us right now. You’re right here. And, and we’re here with you. We’re all here together. And you’re going to pull through this. You’re going to pull through. You have to. Your babies need you, kelly and hayes need their mommy, okay? You just have to fight. And if feel like you start to slip away, I want you to– I want you to fight with everything you have inside of you. Just fight for the beautiful life that you’ve created. Come back to us, okay? Steffy!

[ Sobbing ]

Ridge: Hey. It’s okay. It’s gonna be okay.

Anna: [Moaning]

[Whimpering]

Abigail: Anna?

Anna: Abigail, is that you?

Abigail: Harold said that you weren’t feeling well, and, uh, maybe these will make you feel better. They’re from tony.

Anna: [Scoffs] How dare he send me flowers as consolation when he gives all his time and attention to that– undead zombie renee dumonde.

Tony: Hmm. Knowing anna, there roses won’t be enough. So which poet’s words can I use to assuage a woman scorned? Shakespeare? Eh, too obvious. Shelley? Eh, it’s too sentimental.

[Gasps] Byron! Anna always loved byron. “When we two parted in silence and tears–”

Maggie: Tony, have you seen sarah?

Tony: No, not in the last couple hours.

Maggie: Well, I’m worried because I can’t find her anywhere.

[Knock at door]

Xander: Hold your horses. God. [Groans]

Sarah as renee: You and i need to talk, alex. And for god’s sake, put on some clothes!

Allie: Johnny, what is happening? Are you okay? Talk to me. I want to help. I love you.

Johnny: Leave me alone!

Allie: Are you sick? Okay, I’m gonna take you to the hospital.

Demon johnny: God! I said leave me alone!

Allie: Oh, my god.

Demon johnny: Why does everybody in this town insist on throwing that other guy’s name at me?

Allie: No.

Demon johnny: He’s never around when you need him and he’s such a bore. Am I right?

Allie: Johnny, you’re– you’re possessed.

Demon johnny: That’s right, sis. Ain’t it cool?

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

[Soft orchestration]

Demon johnny: Aww. You look so scared, twinsie. Can’t say I blame you. These eyes do take some getting used to. But that’s just the beginning of what I can do.

Allie: Leave my brother alone.

Demon johnny: Oh, come on. Don’t you want to see my powers up close? I can move things with my mind, do all sorts of cool tricks. Want me to make you levitate like your grandma?

Allie: No! Stay away from me.

Demon johnny: Your loss.

Allie: When did this even happen? Did you jump into johnny at aunt belle’s exorcism?

Demon johnny: That’s an interesting theory, but your twin bro wasn’t even in the room when I was supposedly cast out.

Allie: Supposedly?

Demon johnny: Between you and me… your aunt belle was never really possessed.

Allie: What?

Demon johnny: Yeah, that was just me framing your poor aunt to take the fall for my sins.

Allie: No, but chanel said that belle was choking my grandma marlena.

Demon johnny: Oh, I did take a short, little trip into belle’s body, but just for a few minutes. Other than that, I’ve been partying down in johnny town since christmas!

Allie: My god. Now everything johnny did makes sense. The way he was so cruel to chanel at their wedding reception.

Demon johnny: Yeah.

Allie: How he came on to gabi.

Demon johnny: All me.

Allie: How he broke up me and tripp up in a way that would cause the most pain and heartbreak.

Demon johnny: What can I say? I love my work.

Allie: You’ve stayed hidden all this time. You had us all fooled.

Demon johnny: I did, didn’t I?

Allie: So why reveal yourself to me now?

Demon johnny: [Sighs] To be honest? I wasn’t planning on it. You made me do this.

Allie: Me? How?

Demon johnny: Oh, all that talk about your special connection with your brother seems to have given him an invigorated energy to fight me from within. But that ends now.

Anna: I know this sounds terrible, but there are days when I wish tony was back in that urn. At least then, I could hold him close.

Abigail: Well, you know, those weren’t exactly tony’s ashes in the urn that you were carrying around.

Anna: Well, I’m well aware of that! I just didn’t know it then, obviously!

[Phone rings]

Abigail: Oh. You know what? It’s chad. Can you just give me a moment, please?

[Groaning sigh] Hey. Were you able to talk to rolf?

Chad: I was.

Abigail: Please tell me you have good news.

Maggie: Well, I came through the kitchen and sarah isn’t there and she isn’t in her bedroom.

Tony: Well, she couldn’t have strayed too far. I mean, she’s hardly left my side since I came to stay here.

Maggie: Well, maybe she’s somewhere else in the house. I don’t know.

Tony: Well, I think if we split up, we’ll be able to find her. I’ll take the west wing and you take the east wing.

Maggie: Okay, tony.

Xander: I’m happy to put on clothes and I’m even happier to talk to you, but I do wish you’d stop calling me alex.

Sarah as renee: Oh, here we go again.

Xander: My name is xander.

Sarah as renee: All right. I will call you whatever you want, as long as you sign your true name on these divorce papers, allowing me to be with the man that I love.

Xander: There’s only one problem with that.

Sarah as renee: What?

Xander: I’m the man you love.

I’ve got moderate to severe

plaque psoriasis.

Sarah as renee: How dare you say that you’re the man I love. Like I’m an idiot? Like I’ve forgotten what I discovered about you?

Xander: You’re speaking of someone else.

Sarah as renee: I’m speaking of a con artist, a heartless gold digger, which is none other than you, alex marshall.

Xander: But that’s not me. I’m xander cook. And sarah, what you and I had, it was very real. You were without a doubt the best thing that ever happened to me. You were the love of my–

[Door opens]

Gwen: What’s going on here?

Sarah as renee: Hello, gwen.

Gwen: Wait. You recognize her?

Maggie: Ah. No luck, I assume?

Tony: No, but I found this missive on my pillow. It’s in renee’s handwriting. She must’ve learned it by studying renee’s diary.

Maggie: So what does it say?

Tony: “When we two parted in silence and tears”– oh, my god. Oh. Maybe it was renee who had a passion for byron.

Maggie: Tony!

Tony: Oh, I’m sorry, i digress. Anyway, it finishes the verse and then it says, “tony, my beloved, not sharing a bed with you last night was torture. I did not sleep, just laid awake with dreams of holding you.” That’s quite poetic.

Maggie: Please. Go on. Are there any clues as to where she went?

Tony: “I cannot bear to continue this current arrangement, so I have to go about securing an immediate divorce from that wretch who stands between us, renee.” Well, that’s not good.

Maggie: You think she’s gone to confront anna?

Tony: Well, who else? I’d better get to the mansion before all hell breaks loose.

Maggie: Oh, god.

Anna: Years! I waited years for tony to come back to me and now this?

Chad: What’s going on with her?

Anna: Now a lunatic lays claim to his heart and he goes along with it?

Abigail: I believe you can call that wallowing. So okay, tell me about rolf.

Chad: Well, it wasn’t easy, but I was able to persuade the powers that be to allow rolf access to the infirmary.

Abigail: That’s great.

Anna: Even when I thought he was dead, I was faithful.

Abigail: Okay, here we go again. Um, sorry, just hold on. It’s hard to hear you with all of the– the moaning and the groaning!

Anna: I mean, I had many opportunities to stray, believe me.

Abigail: [Sighs]

Anna: Roman tried his best to woo me. But was I disloyal to tony’s memory? No, of course not, I would have none of it!

[Sighs]

Abigail: Okay, all right, I think she’s done a few seconds, anyway. So did you get rolf to agree?

Chad: Well, I just, you know, it took some sweet talking, remind him about his loyalty to my father and that I’m my mother’s favorite son.

Abigail: So do you have the antidote? Was he able to recreate it?

Chad: He did. I’m at the hospital now. They’re just running some tests to make sure the serum is safe to administer.

Anna: What does he think I am? Does he think I’m some sort of wilting daisy?

Abigail: Oh, god, I give up. Okay, I’m gonna have to let you go.

Chad: Seems like a good idea. Good luck to you.

Abigail: [Sighs] You, too.

Anna: How long? How long must I suffer this insult, this indignity?

Abigail: [Chuckles softly] Well, it might not have to be much longer, because that was chad. He went to the prison to see rolf and he has an antidote to the drug that sarah was injected with.

Anna: Oh! Why? Why didn’t you say so?

Abigail: What? I just did.

Anna: Oh, abigail! [Gasps] Oh, abigail! This means that renee dumonde is going to be dead and buried again! And I’m going to get my husband back!

Allie: I won’t let you hurt my brother.

Demon johnny: The whole twin magic thing, it’s real. I can feel it. But you won’t have any connection with johnny if he’s dead!

Allie: [Gasps]

Demon johnny: What the hell?

Allie: Johnny, I know you’re in there. I’m your sister and i love you. I have loved you since before you were born and I will love you until the day I die!

Demon johnny: Well, that shouldn’t be hard since that’s today. Now let go!

Allie: No, no! Never! Johnny, johnny! Johnny, do you remember the first day of school when we were five and aiden conroy was making fun of me for wearing my unicorn backpack on the bus? And you saw I was crying and you came over and he pushed you down?

Real johnny: I remember! I saw you were hurting and it made me so sad. I couldn’t let him do that to you.

Allie: And then I came over and I helped you up and we went on either side of him and we squeezed him until he begged us to stop! And then, and then no one at school dared to mess with us! No one at school dared to mess with us and they haven’t dared since, okay? Not when we work together!

Real johnny: Like we are now. Keep going, allie. Don’t let go!

Demon johnny: This isn’t gonna work! Now stop talking to him!

Allie: Johnny, johnny! Johnny, johnny, I will never let you go, but you need to fight, okay? You need to fight to come back to me, okay? We can fight together and we will send this son of a bitch straight back to hell! Right before mike decided to say yes…

Shawn: Hello.

Belle: Oh, hey. How was your day?

Shawn: Oh, I gotta say, it’s nice being back at my regular desk.

Belle: Oh, you don’t miss being the commish?

Shawn: No. I’m glad rafe’s back where he belongs.

Belle: Mm, and exonerated of those trumped-up charges.

Shawn: Yeah, right?

Belle: Any luck proving ava’s the one who set him up?

Shawn: No, no. Not yet, but I’m working on it.

Belle: Mm. Well, I am working on proving that ej was set up and finding that proof shouldn’t be too hard considering I’m the one who did it.

Maggie: You don’t think that sarah would actually hurt anna, do you?

Tony: No, but I think renee dumonde might.

Maggie: Oh.

Tony: [Sighs] I can’t take any chances.

Anna: There you are.

Tony: Anna, my love. I was just going to come looking for you. Renee left us this this note.

Anna: I don’t care about renee’s note, I don’t care about renee’s anything, because this little charade is about to come to an end.

Maggie: What do you mean?

Anna: [Sighs] Chad went to the prison and he convinced dr. Rolf to cook up an antidote to sarah’s condition.

Maggie: Really? Oh, my god! That’s wonderful! So where’s chad now?

Anna: He’s at the hospital getting it tested. So let’s wrap up ms. Dumonde in a butterfly net, drag her over there, shoot her up, and then we can all get back to reality.

Tony: Ah. Well, anna, you didn’t allow me to explain. Maggie and I thought that sarah was with you. So obviously, she’s not, so we have no idea where she is.

Sarah as renee: Of course I recognized this woman. She’s your lover, gwen!

Xander: And how exactly do you know gwen?

Sarah as renee: Oh, god! Can we please cut the pretense? Everyone knows you two are in cahoots!

Xander: Cahoots?

Sarah as renee: Yes! So how’s it going, ms. Davies?

Gwen: Uh, actually, it’s rizczech.

Sarah as renee: I beg your pardon?

Gwen: My name is gwen rizczech.

Sarah as renee: [Laughs] You got someone to marry you?

Gwen: No, I’m not married, see, I’m engaged. Rizczech is my maiden name.

Sarah as renee: [Sighs] Okay. Well, I know you as gwen davies, attorney-at-law, and it’s obvious that you’re working with alex here to steal my dimera fortune.

Gwen: What’s she on about?

Xander: I have absolutely no idea.

Sarah as renee: Well, that is not going to happen, so why don’t you peruse these divorce papers that I served him with and convince him to sign them so that he and I can be out of each other’s lives for good?

Abigail: Hey. Allie? A lot of folks ask me why their dishwasher

Abigail: Allie.

Allie: Oh. Abigail. It’s you. You scared me.

Abigail: Did you not just hear me say your name?

Allie: I was on my phone. I guess I was just kind of in my own world.

Abigail: Oh. Well, what are you doing here?

Allie: I was looking for my brother.

Abigail: Well, did you find him?

Allie: No. I guess johnny’s not here. I don’t know where he is.

Anna: You’ve lost sarah? How is that possible?

Tony: Well, we haven’t actually lost her. I mean, she must’ve gone somewhere. But she’s a grown woman and she’s free to come and go as she pleases.

Anna: Well, so now what? Do we call the cops?

[Phone ringing]

Maggie: Excuse me. Xander, uh, have you seen sarah?

Xander: Actually, I’M… looking at her right now.

Maggie: Really? [Chuckles] She’s with you? Oh.

Xander: Yeah, she came to my room at the salem inn.

Maggie: Oh, thank god. And, xander, I may have some good news, too.

Sarah as renee: Gwen, can you please convince alex to accept reality? He needs to know that there’s nothing between him and I. He needs to move on. I have.

Gwen: Hmm. Yes, as much as i would love for him to accept that reality, renee, I don’t think that alex is quite ready to let you go yet.

Sarah as renee: [Sighs]

Xander: So rolf is going to give chad the antidote?

Maggie: He’s already brought it to the hospital.

Xander: Maggie, that is the best news ever.

Maggie: Oh, I hope so, xander. Listen, tony and anna are here with me. Do you think that you could keep sarah there until we get to you?

Xander: She’s unlikely to listen to me. But I think I know a way to get her to come back home to you. Just sit tight. I’ll keep you posted. All right. Show me where to sign.

Sarah as renee: [Gasps] You had a change of heart.

Xander: I have indeed. I decided to finally accept reality.

Sarah as renee: Good for you. What made you change your mind?

Xander: Well, let’s just say I, uh… it’s time for me to say goodbye to renee dumonde. Take that to tony. I’m sure he’s waiting for you.

Sarah as renee: Alex, you’re a miserable bastard. You have just given me my life back, and for that, I am oh, so grateful.

Xander: You’re so welcome.

Sarah as renee: [Chuckles] Well, goodbye, gwen.

Gwen: See you, renee.

[Sighs] So what does this mean?

Xander: That was maggie on the phone. Chad hit paydirt at statesville. Rolf agreed to make an antidote for the drug.

Gwen: Wait, so that means that sarah might be back.

Xander: That’s exactly what it means. Like pulsing, electric shocks,

Xander: I’m dressed.

Gwen: So I see.

Xander: Gwen, I know it must’ve been awkward for you, walking in on sarah and me like that.

Gwen: What, with you wearing just a towel, holding sarah’s hand? Yeah, I think awkward isn’t the right word, really.

Xander: So what is the right word?

Gwen: I think you know. Seeing you with sarah makes me terribly jealous. How could it not? You have no response to that? All I get is just silence and this sad look on your face like you feel really sorry for me.

Xander: Gwen, I don’t feel sorry for you.

Gwen: No? Well, I feel sorry for me. Although the real love of your life is mad as a hatter, she’s still just that.

Xander: Just what?

Gwen: The real love of your life.

Xander: Gwen, listen to me. Hey. Hey, look at me. I have a past. So do you. But mine’s just a little bit more complicated because the woman I thought i was going to marry got kidnapped. And I thought that she didn’t love me anymore. But it turns out that that wasn’t true. So please, just try and put yourself in my shoes. See it from my perspective.

Gwen: [Sniffles] What I see from your perspective is that you never have, nor will you ever feel as passionately about me as you did, as you still do, about sarah. Oh, god, your silence is absolute torture for me. I mean, honestly, xander, I’d rather you just lie to me than just sit there and not say anything.

Xander: I can’t lie to you. I won’t–I won’t lie to you. Gwen, all I tell you is that I love you. You’re so very important to me and I hate that this situation is causing you so much pain.

Gwen: Okay, well, moving right along then, shall we? What’s next? [Clears throat] You say that chad’s using his dead daddy to guilt rolf into helping sarah? [Sniffles] I mean, do you think she’s going to go along with it? Because from what I’ve seen of her, renee dumonde would never want to take an antidote.

Xander: Definitely not. That’s up to tony and maggie to convince her to go back to the hospital now, but that’s why I’ve decided that–

Gwen: That what?

Xander: That I need to be there as well.

Gwen: Right. Of course.

Xander: Gwen, look, I’m–

Gwen: No, no. You know what? Don’t apologize. Don’t apologize. I–[Sighs] I’ve been selfishly indulgent in my own self-pity and I– I haven’t acknowledged that this is… this is all so very difficult for you. And I do understand that you have a certain… loyalty to sarah.

Xander: That means a lot. Can I hug you now?

Gwen: [Sighs] God, have i ever said no to one of your hugs?

[Both chuckle]

[Both sigh] Oh, xander, you are everything to me. I know I’m not really supposed to say a thing like that because it makes me sound clingy and needy. I know it does. And women, especially, are advised to not say things that make them sound clingy and needy because it’s, um… quite unattractive.

Xander: Well, I’m attracted to everything about you, gwen. And I’ve been feeling very lucky that you’ve been needing me, clinging to me. You might’ve noticed that I’ve needed you, too. I can be quite clingy myself sometimes.

Gwen: Then if you need me, and if you need to cling to me… I need to ask this of you.

Xander: Go on.

Gwen: If the antidote doesn’t work, if sarah doesn’t come back as sarah, can you promise to just her go and marry me?

Maggie: Assuming that this antidote is safe, how on earth are we gonna convince sarah to take it?

Anna: Easy. We don’t give her a choice.

Maggie: Well, we can’t force her, anna!

Anna: Why not? Maggie, this is for her own good. I mean, really, do you think sarah wants to live the rest of her life as a dead woman?

Sarah as renee: What is she doing here?

Tony: Oh, renee, there you are. Oh, anna just came to pay us a visit. And to help us out.

Anna: Help you out?

Sarah as renee: It better be a brief visit.

Tony: Yes, of course.

Sarah as renee: In the meantime, tony, I have the most wonderful news. Alex agreed to sign the divorce papers. I’m a free woman.

Tony: Oh. What a happy coincidence, because I was trying to explain to you why anna was here to help us out. She, too, signed our divorce papers.

Anna: What the?

Xander: Since sarah’s return, I’ve asked you to put up with a lot of uncertainty. I realize that, gwen. I wake up sometimes in the middle of the night hating myself for putting you through this.

Gwen: No. This isn’t your fault. None of it is.

Xander: Well, even so, there’s a part of me that just wishes that–

Gwen: That you love me with all your heart.

Xander: No, I wasn’t going to put it that way.

Gwen: But you don’t, do you? Part of your heart still belongs to her. Doesn’t it? To sarah.

Xander: Part of my heart is aching, I’ll admit, because a woman I once loved is–well, she was very cruelly robbed of– of many months of her life.

Gwen: And robbed of you, which is really, really terribly sad.

Xander: Gwen, let’s get back to your question. You asked me if I would let go of sarah and marry you if the antidote doesn’t work.

Gwen: That was the question, yes.

Xander: And I think it’s a very fair one.

Gwen: I don’t think that’s an answer.

Xander: It isn’T. I’m sorry. I–I know it. So please bear with me while I try and express this properly. I not only love you, gwen, so much, I– I think of you as my best friend. The person who got me through a dreadful time in my life, and I’m beyond grateful that you’ve been so patient with me while I try and figure all this out.

Gwen: So your answer?

Xander: So my answer… is yes. If this antidote fails, sarah isn’t herself again, then… I will let her go. Then if you’ll still have me, you and I will be married.

Gwen: [Chuckles] Oh, xander, my darling. My love. My god, I’d be so lost without you.

[Soft dramatic music]

Sarah as renee: Is it true? You’re divorcing her?

Tony: [Chuckles] Yes, it’s true.

Sarah as renee: Oh, tony!

[Both chuckle] Oh, we’re free to both be married.

Tony. Yes, yes, my love. As a matter of fact, why don’t we do it today?

Anna: Today?

Sarah as renee: Yes! Yes! Oh, a thousand times, yes! Why spend another night apart?

Tony: Why indeed?

Sarah as renee: [Laughs] How will it work? Should we go to city hall?

[Gasps] Perhaps maggie could be our witness.

Maggie: Well, I–

Tony: You know what? My good friend, marlena, she’s an ordained minister.

Sarah as renee: She’ll marry us?

Tony: Oh, she’d be more than honored.

Sarah as renee: [Laughs]

Maggie: That’s a lovely idea.

Sarah as renee: Yes.

Tony: Yeah, the only thing, actually, to secure the marriage license…what we need is to get a blood test.

Anna: Oh, a blood test.

Sarah as renee: Oh. A blood test.

Maggie: Well, we can get it right away at the hospital. I’ll call ahead.

Sarah as renee: Oh, wonderful! Well, then what are we waiting for? Come on!

[Both chuckling]

Maggie: I’m calling ahead.

[Chuckles]

Abigail: You know, it doesn’t really seem like anybody else is here. I mean, chad is at the hospital, anna just left, and tony’s staying at the kiriakis mansion. But I did see johnny’s car.

Allie: Oh.

Abigail: Are you sure you’re all right? You just– you seem like you’re a little off.

Allie: I’m–I’m just upset. Johnny and I, I mean, you know how close we’ve been our entire lives. And we just haven’t been getting along since christmas. I was hoping to come over here and work things out.

Abigail: Hmm. Well, do you want to talk about it?

Allie: Not much to say. He just hasn’t been himself lately. I mean, I was hoping that we could just have it out.

Abigail: Fight the way only siblings can?

Allie: Exactly. I mean, when we go at it, we do not hold back. And I love that, but there’s always the chance one of us ends up dead on the floor.

Abigail: [Chuckles] Well, let’s hope it doesn’t get that far.

Allie: Of course. I was just joking.

Abigail: [Sighs]

Tony: Well, the nurse should be along soon.

Sarah as renee: Well, as soon as we get our blood test results, we can get on with our wedding.

Tony: [Chuckles] I can hardly wait.

Sarah as renee: Me either. Especially because it’s been really difficult coming back home to salem, with everyone treating me like there’s something wrong with me. But sitting here with you, with our entire futures ahead of us… I finally feel like myself. I feel safe.

Tony: Oh. I’m so glad. Because all I want for you is to be happy.

Sarah as renee: Tony, you are the most kind, loving man. Thank you for standing by my side. And now for making my dreams come true.

Anna: Where is chad?

Xander: How long’s it take to travel two floors from the lab?

[Elevator bell rings] Chad, you have it?

Chad: Here it is.

Anna: You have the antidote?

Maggie: And this is a single dose?

Chad: Rolf said it should work relatively quickly, so before long, sarah should be her old self again.

Anna: Well, then, what are we waiting for? Let’s go give it to her!

Maggie: Wait. What did the lab say? Is it safe?

Chad: They ran some preliminary tests and the unofficial opinion is that it is.

Maggie: Unofficial?

Chad: Well, in order to fully vet it, they would have to run through all the proper safety trials before testing it on humans.

Xander: And how long would that take?

Chad: Months, maybe years.

Xander: Years?

Anna: Years of renee dumonde? No way.

Chad: But maggie, we both know that rolf’s work goes far beyond the boundaries of regular science, but he swore to me on my father’s grave that it would work.

Maggie: Chad, rolf is a madman.

Chad: He is, but he was absolutely loyal to stefano.

Anna: You have to do this, maggie.

Xander: For sarah.

Chad: Maggie, sarah is your daughter. You’re the only one that can make this call.

Belle: I still don’t understand why the devil went after ej.

Shawn: I always thought the dimeras were in league with satan.

Belle: [Chuckles] Well, from what I can tell, his only goal is to create chaos and pain. And that starts by ripping apart all of salem’s happy couples.

Shawn: And this time, he went after sami and ej.

Belle: Mm. And paulina and abe, and gabi and jake. I mean, he even went after our marriage when he’d turned jan into me on christmas eve.

Shawn: Oh, god, please don’t remind me.

Jan: Oops.

Belle: Thank god I walked in before you slept with her.

[Notification chimes]

Shawn: Listen, belle.

Belle: Oh, it’s the warden. It says a prisoner wants to speak with me.

Shawn: Is it ej?

Belle: Must be. You know, I should probably give him an update. See you at home?

Shawn: Yeah, see you at home.

Belle: Okay.

Shawn: Bye.

Abigail: You know, my sister gwen and I, were not raised together, but I can certainly relate to how heated things can get between siblings because my brother, jj and I, we have had our battles over the years.

Allie: The bond between johnny and me is so strong. No matter what happens, we’ll always be connected.

Abigail: Do you want me to go see if I can find him?

Allie: Yes, I’d appreciate that.

Abigail: Okay.

[Sinister music]

Demon allie: Well, johnny boy, it was fun while it lasted, but I have a new evil twin to play with, so what am i going to do with you? To be a thriver with metastatic breast cancer means…

Abigail: Allie?

[Wind howling]

[Suspenseful music]

Chad: It’s freezing in here.

Abigail: I know. My cousin allie was just here, but she must’ve left.

Chad: What? Through the back?

Abigail: Pfft, it looks like it. She came looking for johnny, he wasn’t here, and I guess she gave up. Anyway, tell me about rolf and the antidote.

Chad: Well, I gave the shot to maggie so it up to her whether she gives it to sarah or not. I have no idea what she’s gonna do.

Anna: You aren’t seriously considering waiting?

Xander: Maggie, you hear chad before. The lab said the antidote is safe.

Maggie: The lab also said that it should be put through proper testing.

Anna: Which could take years.

Maggie: I want my daughter back more than anything, but I don’t want to risk her health and her wellbeing for selfish reasons. We’ve got to be sure that what’s in this syringe, it won’t hurt her.

Sarah as renee: What the hell is taking that nurse so damn long?

Tony: [Chuckles] Patience, darling. We have the rest of our lives.

Gwen: Xander… after everything we’ve been through, I can’t lose you to sarah.

Xander: Maggie, shall we call a nurse to administer the antidote?

Maggie: Hold on.

Anna: For what?

Sarah as renee: Nurse? Nurse?

Tony: Come on, darling.

Sarah as renee: What is the delay? We just need a simple blood test!

Tony: Why don’t you come back to the room?

Sarah as renee: What are you doing here?

[Laughs] I know what you’re doing.

Anna: Do you?

Sarah as renee: Yes, you’re trying to stop the wedding but you just need to admit it. You lost. Tony and I are in love and we’re getting married. As soon as I find someone in this damn hospital to stick me with a needle.

Anna: Why don’t I do it?

Maggie: [Gasps] Anna!

Jan: Hello, counselor. Thanks for coming.

Belle: Mm. Well, if I’d known the prisoner who wanted to see me was you, I most certainly would not have come.

Jan: Aw. That hurts my feelings.

Belle: You and I have nothing to talk about, jan.

Jan: Oh, I think we do!

Ashland: Hello! Our bags are packed. We’re ready to head for the airport.

Victoria: Thank you for handling that.

Ashland: No problem. How are those, uh, “loose ends” on your to-do list coming along?

Victoria: Oh, I’m almost done. I cleared my schedule for the next few days, and I was just putting some finishing touches on a couple of reports that i need to get out.

Ashland: Yeah, you do realize you can work on the plane, right? Or at the palazzo. I mean, it’s not like we’re going on vacation.

Victoria: I know that. I just — I wanted to free us up so that we could figure out what our next move will be without some deadline hanging over our heads. I’m convinced that once we get away from genoa city and all of its distractions, like my family, that we will be able to figure out who’s behind this attack on you and we’ll be able to clear your name…together.

Ashland: I am so looking forward to that. You have no idea.

Victoria: There is something that I should probably mention to you, however.

Ashland: Okay.

Victoria: My father has decided to put adam in charge of the day-to-day while we’re away.

Sally: You are going to be ceo of newman/locke?

Adam: Eh, the interim ceo. While, uh, ashland and victoria are in europe.

Sally: Victor put you in charge. Amazing. I guess he’s not ignoring you after all. That is a huge vote of confidence.

Adam: Ah, well, I have no illusions where my father’s concerned. But, um, I will take it.

Sally: So, while you are off steering the mother ship, where does that leave me?

Adam: [ Sighs ] You already asked me that once.

Sally: Well, I’m asking again.

Adam: The answer’s the same. You and I — we are a team. So I’m gonna need you to step up here big-time.

Sally: Well, you can count on me, adam. You know that.

Adam: I do.

Sally: And victoria agreed to this arrangement? No pushback?

Adam: Eh, well, she wasn’t thrilled, but, uh, she went along with the plan. Not that dad gave her any choice.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] Ah! I love it. But then again, it actually benefits her in a way, frees her up so she can concentrate on how to deal with that piece of scum she’s married to.

Adam: Wow, that’s very astute of you.

Sally: Well, I have my moments. No, this all sounds very encouraging.

Adam: Look, I’m glad that you are very excited about this.

Sally: Aren’t you?

Adam: Sure. It’s nice when an opportunity like this falls in your lap. Still, I just — I can’t figure out what victoria’s game is. And make no mistake — she has one.

[ Glasses thud ]

Elena: [ Sighs ] Hmm. The only thing missing is nate.

Nate: Stop lying. Tell victoria the truth. Don’t let her live with this conflict and suspicion she must have.

Billy: That’s it. You wrestle with that lid there. Show it who’s boss.

Nate: Hey, billy. Um [Chuckles] How you doing?

Billy: I’m alright, man. I should be asking you that, though. Are you okay? It seems like you should be on cloud nine, with the way that your life is going lately.

Nate: Ah, you’re right. Yeah. I’m — I’m living the dream. Everything a man could ever want. But, uh, I had a run-in with ashland locke, and it kinda killed my good mood.

Billy: Yeah, he has a way of doing that. I was gonna ask you about him actually. What happened to that relationship? Because I know you two became pretty good friends.

Nate: Mm. Suffice it to say, I should’ve listened to your doubts about him. The friendship’s over. Turns out ashland isn’t the stand-up guy I thought he was. Actually, far from it.

Billy: Nate, can I ask you a question? What do you know about his current medical condition?

Nate: What do you know? (Rebecca) it wasn’t until after

Billy: Victoria confirmed that her husband is a liar and that the betrayal runs deep. But she did not get into the proof. It was you, wasn’t it? You’re the one that shared the evidence.

Nate: Listen. I was given ample reason to —

Billy: You know, what, nate? I’m gonna stop you right there. I don’t want you to say anything that’s gonna put you in a compromising position, okay? Victoria told me enough. And to be honest, it’s sickening.

Nate: Yeah, I lost a lot of sleep over it. Mostly thinking about how devastated she must be.

Billy: You haven’t spoken to her yet?

Nate: I haven’t had the heart. I brought what I uncovered to victor and adam. I figured I’d let them decide how to proceed. But from what you’re saying, victoria learned the truth.

Billy: Well, what she learned and what she continues to believe could be two different things. I just hope she doesn’t let the guy in again.

[ Cellphone pings ] Excuse me. It’s from nick. “Vick and locke are heading to tuscany. You need to talk to her asap.”

Nate: What? Victoria’s leaving with him? How can she?

Billy: I don’t know. That’s what I’m about to find out. Listen. Thank you for what you did.

Nate: [ Sighs ]

Sally: Trying to crawl inside victoria’s head is a waste of time. If you want to prove that you’re the better ceo, then I need to be a solid right hand, so I need to get up to speed on everything newman/locke, all the big-picture issues, so that i can help you strategize.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Well, where do you want to start?

Sally: Well, first things first. I am so hungry, I could eat this chair. So, why don’t I go out, grab us something to eat so we can hunker down?

Adam: Sounds good.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Wait. Hang on a second. Let me, uh — let me see who this is first. Chelsea? What’s going on?

Chelsea: What are you doing tomorrow?

Adam: Um…why?

Chelsea: It’s about connor. You know he’s been so out of sorts lately, so I got him tickets to a blackhawks game in chicago as a treat for him.

Adam: That is phenomenal. Those, uh, blackhawk tickets are hard to come by. And connor is so into hockey these days…

Chelsea: Mm-hmm. The problem is, I just found out I have to go to new york on business.

Adam: You’re kidding. Um…well, can you get out of it?

Chelsea: Believe me, I tried. So I was hoping you could take him?

Adam: Um, ordinarily, I would say yes in a heartbeat, but, um, the timing is — is not good for me, either.

Chelsea: Why? What’s going on?

Adam: [ Sighs ] I, uh — I’ve just gotten a promotion of sorts, and I’ve just got too much on my plate. I can’t even think about leaving town right now.

Chelsea: It would only be for one night.

Adam: If I could, I would. I’m not gonna have a free moment, let alone a whole day, for probably the foreseeable future. So, I’m — I’m sorry.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Don’t apologize. It’s not your fault. It was an impulse buy on my part. The problem is, I got so excited, I already told connor. He’s gonna be so bummed.

Adam: Uh, I wish that I could help.

Chelsea: Thanks. But it’s my mess. I’ll just have to dig myself out of it. Bye.

[ Cellphone thuds ]

Adam: [ Sighs ] You heard?

Sally: I could tell you felt bad turning her down.

Adam: Yeah, normally i would love a father/son outing with connor. But, you know, taking over for victoria — it’s the chance I’ve been waiting for. So there can’t be any distractions.

Sally: It was a tough call. I understand. And I know spending time with your son is very important to you. But there will be other trips to look forward to. Because you’re right — this is a very crucial moment for your career, so you need to focus, focus, focus.

Adam: [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ]

Ashland: Why does victor even have a say? We are co-ceos. I mean, this — this feels like the first move in a power play.

Victoria: Everything you just said — that was my first reaction. But I think that there might be a way for us to work this to our advantage.

Ashland: Really? How so?

Victoria: Okay, so, let my father think that he’s controlling his marionette. And fine — fine, let adam feel like he’s king for a day. It doesn’t matter if we’re here in genoa city or we’re at the palazzo in italy. We’re still the ones making the meaningful decisions.

[ Door opens ] And we’re the ones —

Billy: Victoria, I need to talk to you…now. Hi, I’m debra.

Ashland: Billy, as usual, your timing is impeccably bad. Victoria and I are in the middle of a private conversation.

Billy: I understand you’re leaving town, so I need to talk to you now.

Ashland: No. Hold on. How exactly did you know that?

Billy: Nick told me. But that’s not the point why I’m here.

Ashland: Then what is the point?

Billy: It’s an emergency involving the kids, okay? I’m sure you can understand. Vick?

Ashland: Well, fine. Go ahead. Talk. If it involves johnny and katie, then of course I’m concerned, too.

Victoria: I’m sure whatever it is won’t take long, okay? Just give us a few minutes. And then I’ll be right with you.

Ashland: Okay. Uh, yeah, there’s a few things that I need to take care of, too, so, uh, I’ll be back as soon as I can.

Victoria: Okay. Thank you.

Victoria: So…what’s wrong with johnny and katie? Are they okay?

Billy: Yes. They’re fine. And I want to make sure that i keep it that way. Which is why I’m here — to help make sure that you do the right thing.

Elena: [ Sighs ]

[ Doorbell rings ] You forgot your key, didn’t you?

Devon: Oh, I know we’re friends, but we don’t have a key to your place.

Amanda: Yet.

[ Laughter ]

Elena: Hey. Come on in.

Devon: Thank you.

Elena: I thought you guys were nate. He just went to go pick up some food.

Amanda: Oh, well, now you have a little something to wash it down with.

Devon: And we got some housewarming gifts for you guys from the both of us.

Elena: That is so sweet. You shouldn’t have.

Amanda: Well, we wanted to.

Elena: Well, thank you so much. This is so kind.

Devon: You’re very, very welcome.

Elena: Well, let’s sit.

Amanda: You know, devon and I — we’re really thrilled to have the two of you so close by.

Devon: Yeah, we sure are. I know that, uh, neil really enjoyed living here. I hope you guys do, too.

Elena: I think we definitely will.

Amanda: And I love what you’ve done with the place, you know, all the little personal touches.

Elena: Yeah. Yeah. Here and there. I mean, we were lucky to be able to buy the place fully furnished, but I think over time, we’ll be able to add our own personal things. ‘Cause everything else in the house was a little more traditional and didn’t really fit in this space.

Devon: I see you got a lot of flowers and the champagne on ice and you’re all dressed up. I feel like, uh, we’re intruding. I think they’re trying to have a date.

Amanda: Oh, no. We can — we can do this another time.

Elena: No, no, no, no, no! Please stay. You are not intruding. Nate is running late, and i would love to be able to celebrate with someone. And besides, I think nate would love to christen this new place with our new neighbors.

Chelsea: Hello, sally.

Sally: Hi. Wow. That actually seemed polite.

Chelsea: Don’t look so stunned.

Sally: Is it possible that we might actually be able to co-exist in this town?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Listen, i don’t have a reason — or, quite frankly, the energy — to wage any kind of war with you anymore. We’ve both moved on. We’re not in each other’s orbit anymore.

Sally: Well, I mean, that’s not entirely true. We still kind of are. Orbiting, that is. Because of adam. When you called to have him take connor to the blackhawks game, I was in the office.

Chelsea: Oh, you heard all that.

Sally: I’m really sorry it didn’t turn out like you were hoping.

Chelsea: You actually sound like you mean that.

Sally: Connor’s cool. I have nothing against him. Or you. And I assume you must be really busy at work, choosing a business trip over a mother-son bonding experience.

Chelsea: Okay, well, um, it actually sounds like adam had to make that same difficult decision, apparently. Seems like his hands are really full over there.

Sally: Oh, more than full. We are buried.

Chelsea: Ugh, it sounds tedious. I’m just so glad to be away from the newman business and all that family drama.

Sally: To me, it’s an absolute blast. I love working with adam.

Chelsea: Mm. Good. Well, I wish you all the best. Both of you. I’m really hoping adam’s found what he was looking for.

Ashland: We need to get a few things straight.

Adam: Does this mean you’ve reconsidered my offer? I won’t publish the news about your fraudulent cancer if you leave genoa city and never come back.

Ashland: Yeah, you would like that, wouldn’t you? Well, the fact is, yes, I am leaving town, but not because of cheap threats and ultimatums. I am actually going to tuscany with my beautiful wife. But then, you already know that, don’t you? Because your daddy has appointed you pretend-ceo.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Why are you here?

Ashland: Oh, uh, I thought you could use a few lessons on how to conduct yourself in this new role you find yourself playing. First of all, you’re not gonna post any of those stories about me.

Adam: Why is that?

Ashland: Because, ironically, by putting you in charge, victor has neutralized that particular threat. Publishing anything about how i somehow hoodwinked the entire newman family into appointing me co-ceo would reflect very badly on the, uh, “interim” boss. That’s you. And, uh, the press would be hounding you for more details. You would be buckling under the pressure. The company itself would suffer irreparable damage. Not to mention the fact that all of that gets worse once I reveal that the entire story is based on nothing but lies.

Adam: Well, thank you for your cogent analysis. But I think I’ll make my own judgment calls, just as my father has empowered me to.

With age comes more…

Amanda: It’s beautiful.

Devon: Yeah.

Elena: Here you go.

Devon: Thank you so much.

Amanda: Thank you.-

Elena: You’re welcome.

[ Door opens ]

Devon: There he is.

Elena: There you are! The food must be ice cold. Where’s the food?

Nate: Uh, you know, I must’ve left it in the car.

[ Sighs ]

Elena: Excuse me.

[ Chuckles ] Everything okay?

Devon: We just came to welcome you to the building, but we can come and do this another time.

Nate: Guys, no. Stay, please. I’m sorry. I was just a bit distracted.

Amanda: Why? Did something happen?

Nate: Uh, when I went to pick up the food, I ran into ashland locke. He wasn’t happy that I turned down his job offer.

Elena: Did you guys exchange words?

Nate: No, it just unsettled me a bit, that’s all. Hey, but what better way to forget that than to toast to our new apartment, beautiful girlfriend, and our amazing neighbors?

Victoria: [ Scoffs ] You used our children to get me alone. That’s pretty low.

Billy: I did not lie. This is about our children. And the fact that you don’t seem to care that that monster lied to you about being sick in order to get control of your company. And then I find out you’re leaving the country with him, after everything you told me, vick. So, uh, forgive me, but I am concerned about you.

Victoria: Well, don’t be.

Billy: I need to know that you are not going to forgive him.

Victoria: Or what? Are you gonna try to take the kids away from me? You don’t even know what my plan is, and you’re passing judgment on how I’m handling this situation.

Billy: [ Sighs ] Vick, I am not here to attack you. I am on your side. I’m here as your friend and the person that you confided in when you found out what ashland did. So tell me your plan. You can trust me, I swear to you. Vick, I need to know that you are not going to let him convince you to give him another chance. And you jetting off to another country with him makes me think that maybe you are. So I’m worried.

Victoria: I promise you, i can handle care of myself. But don’t you dare suggest that I would ever put our kids in jeopardy.

Billy: I’m not worried about your actions, okay? I’m worried about his.

Ashland: Let me make something clear to you, adam. You are a place-holder. Nothing more. Your father has installed you in this position to put out fires, basically, not to make, you know, important decisions. You’re like the babysitter. You are babysitting the home office until we get back, not running the empire.

Adam: I find it interesting that you felt the need to come here to tell me this. ‘Cause victoria doesn’t have a problem with it. So, are you worried about something?

Ashland: Concerning you? No.

Adam: Because, from my perspective, you should feel lucky. You dodged one hell of a bullet. For victoria to still be taking your side, after all the evidence my family has shown her — it’s remarkable. Truly. I mean, she must still trust you, which just — it blows my mind. Maybe you really are indestructible.

Ashland: Or maybe she just has more faith in me than the rest of you put together. Maybe she’s not as easily duped as the rest of you. Imagine that. She knows better than all the newmans not to believe these ridiculous accusations against me.

Adam: You’re still playing the innocent card. God, you really are a piece of work. I admire you almost as much as i despise you. I mean, how is that for a dilemma?

Ashland: I couldn’t care less what you think about me or what your father thinks about me. Victoria’s opinion is the only one that matters.

Adam: What about harrison’s? I’d like to think his opinion matters. At least, when he gets old enough to understand exactly what his father has done.

Ashland: You son of a bitch. Don’t get too comfortable in whatever this position is. We’ll be back soon.

Adam: Have a safe flight! If you have type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Nate: There is so much to celebrate, how can we possibly choose?

Devon: Oh. How about we choose amanda going back into the corporate world with her big new job at chancellor?

Amanda: Oh, no, no, no. Then we have to toast to you and lily and your merger and your redesigning of your companies.

Nate: Better yet, let’s drink to elena, a rising star at memorial, and to this next chapter in our life in this amazing penthouse which she’s already made into a home.

Elena: Not so fast. I think the biggest leap forward here, in my opinion, is nate’s huge career change. It’s not every day that you give up your life’s work to tackle a new profession. What’s wrong?

Amanda: Nothing. Your toast was fine.

Devon: I’ll ask the question. Uh, how do you really feel about nate leaving medicine and coming to work with lily and me?

Nate: That’s a good question.

Sally: Well, I appreciate the attitude change. Too bad we couldn’t have gotten there sooner because maybe together with chloe, the three of us could have saved newman fashion.

Chelsea: Mnh, I seriously doubt that…for the simple reason I don’t think the three of us would be able to work for adam and expect it to go smoothly.

Sally: I see your point.

Chelsea: It all worked out the way it was supposed to, you know? We all ended up where we belong.

Sally: Does this newfound civility extend to the personal as well as the professional?

Chelsea: Listen, I don’t know what’s going on between you and adam. And, quite frankly, I’m not interested. But know this — whatever it is, I will deal with it.

Billy: Victoria, leaving the country with ashland is not safe.

Victoria: Oh, come on. Don’t be melodramatic.

Billy: I’m not sure what’s going on here, but you were the one pondering what his end game is. You were the one questioning whether he is capable of harming you. And why do you think he would go to such lengths in order to con you to merger companies and then share the power? It goes against everything we know about him. And if newman is the ultimate power grab, then, victoria, you are simply someone standing in his way.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Enough already. I don’t believe for one second that he intends to physically harm me. You have to trust me on this.

Billy: You’re not asking me to trust you, victoria. You’re asking me to trust him, and I don’t because I know what he’s capable of.

Victoria: Okay, well, fine then. If it makes you feel better, my father’s men will be “secretly” shadowing me while we’re away. I’m sure they’ll be intermingled with all of the staff at the palazzo. So I have my own security team. Not that I asked for one, but you know my dad.

Billy: [ Sighs ] Yeah, that does make me feel a little bit better, but you still haven’t answered the question. Why are you going to italy with him?

Victoria: I have my reasons. Now please go.

Billy: That’s not good enough, victoria. I need to know more.

Victoria: Fine. When I needed somebody to talk to, I turned to you. I showed you my vulnerable side. Because I knew that deep down, you are the one person that knows me. And I know you care about me.

Billy: Yeah, I do.

Victoria: I’ve looked at this from every angle. And I don’t think that I’m at risk. And I have a plan. And when I’m through, I promise you, billy, our children will not be exposed to ashland anymore.

Billy: I hope you’re right about that.

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

Billy: Just promise me that you are going to be careful.

[ Door closes ]

Victoria: [ Sighing heavily ] (Nathan m) secondhand smoke

Ashland: So, how did it go with billy? Are johnny and katie okay? Do we have to postpone the trip?

Victoria: No and no. He was just using it as a cheap trick. He used the kids as an excuse to talk to me alone.

Ashland: Alone. I see. For what reason? And, by the way, why is nick telling him that we’re going to tuscany? Since when does your brother confide in your ex?

Victoria: It seems that nick filled him in on everything. So billy took it upon himself to get involved. He warned me not to trust you and that you probably intend to do me harm and take over newman/locke.

Ashland: Do you harm? How dare he.

Victoria: Because he’s billy.

Ashland: What the hell is he doing putting ideas like that into your head?

Victoria: No. That’s not what’s happening, okay? I believe you. I know that you would never harm me. Ever.

Ashland: This smear campaign has got to stop. How long before it’s everywhere and we can’t control the story anymore?

Victoria: What do you expect? My family’s desperate. Why else would they involve billy?

Ashland: Please tell me he didn’t get to you. I can handle billy and your father and your brothers and your entire family thinking badly of me. I can even handle the public humiliation. But the idea that you would think, even for a moment, that i would harm you… all I care about is what you think.

Sally: Thank you. Anyway, it was really nice chatting with you. I mean that. And hopefully we can do it again sometime.

Chelsea: Uh —

Rey: Ladies.

Chelsea: Hey! Seeing you twice in one day — how lucky is that?

Sally: Lucky, indeed.

Chelsea: Well, I always love bumping into you.

Rey: Same here.

Chelsea: The bartender should be back any minute.

Rey: Yeah. No worries. So, I couldn’t help overhearing your conversation with sally, when you said that whatever’s going on between her and adam, you’ll deal with it. If you meant that —

Chelsea: Oh, I did.

Rey: Good. I’m happy for you. I know how hard it is for some people to get adam out of their system. I commend you for cutting the cord.

Chelsea: It wasn’t easy. I pretended I was okay way before I actually was.

Rey: I’m don’t think I’ve ever seen you like this.

Chelsea: Like what?

Rey: Happy.

[ Both laugh ]

Chelsea: I really am. Can you believe it? I mean, I was in a toxic cycle for so long, I don’t think i remember what it’s like to not be in one.

Rey: Good for you.

Chelsea: Yeah, you know, sally was over here earlier talking to me, goading me, trying to get a rise out of me about adam, and the truth is, the idea of the two of them being together doesn’t really bother me. I didn’t even have to put on an act with her.

Rey: What helped you turn the corner?

Chelsea: Honestly, I — I think you did.

[ Both laugh ] Your friendship and, you know, all those pep talks. It was really helpful. So keep them coming, detective.

Rey: Oh, I will. Although I think you’re giving me too much credit. I’ve seen how hard you’ve worked to transform your life.

Chelsea: I have. Thanks for noticing.

Rey: I mean, you even seem happier than when I saw you earlier today, when you were worried about connor and how moody he’s been.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

Rey: Maybe I spoke too soon. Did he cop an attitude with you?

Chelsea: Not yet, but I have a feeling he’s about to. And I have no one to blame but myself.

Sally: I brought us a feast.

Adam: Good.

Sally: Do you want to eat it now, or should we hold off?

Adam: I, uh, thought you were starved.

Sally: I am made of tough stuff. What have you been working on?

Adam: I’m actually not much further along than I was when you left. Ashland came by.

Sally: Let me guess. He found out you were stepping in for victoria and he’s having a cow.

Adam: It was a bit more interesting than that.

Sally: Oh?

Adam: He decided to school me on how I should handle myself at newman/locke. Like I’ve never run a company before.

Sally: What advice did he give you?

Adam: He told me that I, uh, should not make good on my threat to publish articles about him faking his cancer diagnosis.

Sally: Well, sounds more like a warning than a tutorial.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Semantics.

Sally: You know, it’s really ironic that he would play that card since we already decided that it could damage newman if the story came out prematurely.

Adam: I made the same case. But I didn’t let him know that we came to that conclusion on our own. I mean, the guy seemed off. He was unnerved. Like the way he was coming in here and trying to intimidate me — it was a tell.

Sally: Like in poker.

Adam: Mm-hmm. It’s a weak move on his part. And ashland locke does not do “weak.”

Sally: Do you think he’s scared?

Adam: If he’s smart, he is. I don’t know. Maybe that was dad’s strategy, to do something so jarring by giving me the reins, throw locke off his game.

Sally: Apparently, it worked.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Like I said, victoria’s up to something, too. I’d like to think her eyes are finally open and she’s siding with the family behind the scenes. You know, that she’s playing locke the same way that he played her and then trying to remove him from her life and from the company with surgical precision.

Sally: I can’t wait to see it happen.

Adam: Well, if that’s the case, maybe she thinks the smartest way to do it is a one-on-one far away from genoa city. Which is fine by me. Give me the opportunity to show dad just how capable I am. And how much better equipped i am to run newman/locke than my gullible sister will ever be. People will say

Elena: Um, I have to say, nate’s decision did take some getting used to. I’ve only ever thought of him as a doctor. And he cares about his patients so deeply. Some would even argue too much.

Nate: [ Chuckles ]

Elena: It sometimes takes a toll. And, as you guys know, we met in the medical world. And it’s been amazing, working together. I have learned so much.

Nate: Well, my hours should be better. And the pay is excellent. And I should have more time and energy to lavish on the woman i love.

Elena: Well, now, that is a great perk. But I will say the biggest reason that I am behind this decision is because nate is gonna be working with his family. And I think that is going to be so rewarding.

Nate: Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Amanda: Look at the four of us. It really is incredible. We’re all so blessed.

Devon: Yeah, we are. And I think I have the perfect toast.

Amanda: Really?

Devon: I do. To new adventures for all of us. Cheers, guys.

Elena: Cheers.

Amanda: Cheers.

Nate: Cheers.

Devon: Mmm.

Amanda: Good toast.

Chelsea: The talk we had the other day inspired me to do something special for connor, since he was missing the sports program at his boarding school, you know? So I splurged on blackhawk tickets, the ones that you told me about. I was gonna drive us down to chicago and make a whole fun trip out of it.

Rey: Sounds amazing. -Why would connor be upset?

Chelsea: The problem is i just found out that I have to go to new york on business. Adam can’t take him, either, and I told connor about it already, hoping it would give him something to look forward to.

Rey: Only now, he’s going to feel let down.

Chelsea: Ugh. Royally. I’m gonna go back to “worst mom ever” status in no time.

Rey: [ Chuckles ]

Proofread by Anita

Finn: Do I, uh — I look okay? I feel a little, you know… [ Inhales sharply ]

Elizabeth: You look very dapper for a man who’s been sleeping on the couch for the past few nights.

Finn: Are you kidding me? I’m starting to love that couch.

Elizabeth: [ Chuckles ]

Finn: Yeah. Yeah. I noticed Cam wasn’t in his room.

Elizabeth: Yeah, he and Josslyn went to visit Trina. She’s out on bail, and they just want to support her.

Finn: Hmm. I read Joss and Cam’s interview in The Invader. It took a lot of courage to get out in front of this thing and tell their side of the story. That’s a — that’s a pretty great kid you raised.

Elizabeth: Thanks. I agree.

Finn: Mm.

Elizabeth: But this whole thing with the video is far from over.

[ Mug thuds ]

Elizabeth: I’m just glad Cameron and Josslyn’s relationship is so solid and that they don’t have to go through this nightmare alone. And neither does Trina.

Finn: Neither do you. I’ll be right here, by your side, no matter what happens.

Elizabeth: I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Finn: Yeah?

Amy: Oh, my god. I mean, the lyrics, the lyrics and the tune.

Maxie: Okay, Amy, we get it. You like Brook Lynn’s song.

Amy: And I love that Lucy’s exclusively using local talent.

Brook Lynn: [ Chuckles ]

Amy: Speaking of talent…

Brook Lynn: [ Clears throat ]

Britt: Thank you. I owe you.

Terry: You do owe me, big time. I have better things to do than interview someone completely inappropriate to work at this hospital.

Britt: But you agreed to give Brad a chance.

Terry: Which is why you owe me.

Britt: I swear, Terry, Brad’s time in prison has changed him. He’s — he’s grown. He’s matured.

Terry: Not kept any newborn infants from their rightful parents and passed them off as his own?

Britt: [ Sighs ] Please, will you just go into this with an open mind?

Terry: Fine. [ Chuckles ]

[ Knock on door ]

Brad: Dr. Randolph. So great to see you again. I just want to say, you’re even more beautiful than I remember.

Nikolas: Spencer. You okay?

Spencer: Good evening, Father.

Nikolas: You all settled in?

Spencer: Thanks for getting all my things out of storage. My bedroom has been perfectly reconstructed.

Nikolas: Probably because your things were never in storage. Your room’s always been waiting for you.

Spencer: Even after I renounced all things Cassadine?

Nikolas: Even then.

Spencer: So you thought that I’d come crawling back? That I’d cave?

Nikolas: I kept your room intact because you’re my child. A father never gives up on his child. And if Esme is actually pregnant, you’ll learn that soon enough.

Ava: Nikolas, my sweet. Where are you?

Esme: He’s upstairs. Hello, Ava. Rough day?

Ava: What the hell are you doing in my house? Get out of here, before I throw you out.

Finn: You sure you don’t want to come with me to dinner?

Elizabeth: [ Chuckles ]

Finn: Gregory would love to see you.

Elizabeth: This is… oh, thank you. This is Gregory’s first trip back in quite some time. I’m sure he would appreciate some alone time with you and Chase and Violet. And besides, you and I were just getting together when he left town. He’s not really used to seeing us as a couple.

Finn: But he knows we are, because — because I’ve become much better at communicating with him lately.

Elizabeth: Chase told him?

Finn: He would have, but Violet beat him to it.

[ Sighs, laughs ]

Finn: Okay, alright. Well, if you and Laura — you finish up early, then feel free to come on by. I mean, my dad really likes you. In fact, I’m pretty sure he thinks you could do much, much better.

Elizabeth: Well, then, he would be wrong.

Finn: You’re amazing. You know that?

[ Doorbell rings ]

Elizabeth: It’s Laura.

Finn: Mm.

Elizabeth: Hi.

Laura: Hi. Hope I’m not too late. Or too early?

Finn: No, no. Your timing was perfect. I was just leaving. But, you know, if you change your mind and you want to have dinner at the Metro Court, I’m buying.

Elizabeth: No, go, go.

Finn: Are you sure?

Elizabeth: Have fun.

Finn: Okay, alright. I’m leaving.

[ Chuckles ]

Elizabeth: Come in. Thank you so much for coming over.

Laura: Well, I wish I could have gotten here sooner. Tell me, how is Cam holding up?

Elizabeth: Better than I am.

Laura: Oh, sweetie.

Violet: There’s Brook Lynn. Let’s go say hi to her.

Chase: Sure, we can try.

Brook Lynn: Okay, I’m just gonna —

Maxie: What — What — what are you doing?

Brook Lynn: I forgot something downstairs.

Violet: Hi, Brook Lynn.

Brook Lynn: Hi, sweetie! It’s so good to see you. Oh, you look so beautiful.

Violet: I do. We’re having dinner with Grandpa Gregory. I wanted to look special.

Brook Lynn: Well, mission accomplished.

Violet: How’s your baby?

Brook Lynn: Um…

Maxie: Bailey is doing great. Do you want to see some pictures?

Violet: Yes, please.

Maxie: Come over here.

[ Brook Lynn clears throat ]

Chase: I’m sorry about that.

Brook Lynn: Sorry about what?

Chase: I spoke with Violet about Bailey, but she still doesn’t quite get it.

Brook Lynn: Yeah, well, who can blame her? Even we needed a scorecard sometimes.

Amy: What about Chase?

Chase: What about me?

Brook Lynn: Amy, no.

Amy: Oh, come on. He’d be perfect.

Brook Lynn: No, he’s not.

Amy: Uh, I beg to differ.

Brook Lynn: Okay, we’ve been over this, okay? Chase has made it perfectly clear that he doesn’t want to be involved.

Amy: We haven’t even asked him.

Brook Lynn: I did.

Amy: When?

Brook Lynn: Before!

Amy: Where?

Brook Lynn: Not here! Has it ever occurred to you that the entire universe still exists when you leave a room?

Amy: If you took that tone with him, it’s no wonder he said no.

Brook Lynn: I didn’t take a tone with him.

Amy: Do you mind if I ask him, then?

Brook Lynn: Yes, I mind, okay? He doesn’t want to be a part of it, and, frankly, I agree with him.

Amy: [ Scoffs ] Well, then you’re both idiots.

Brook Lynn: [ Sighs ]

Terry: I’m not ready for you yet.

Britt: We’ll just wait outside.

Terry: Thank you.

Brad: [ Sighs ] [ Groans ]

Britt: What was that?

Brad: Sorry. I got nervous. I went for the compliment.

Britt: Okay, well, pull it together. I-I had to beg Terry to even talk to you.

Brad: And for that, I’m eternally grateful.

Britt: [ Sighs ] You have no idea.

Brad: Britt, is this hopeless?

Britt: It’s a long shot. But Terry’s fair, and she promised she would give you a chance to plead your case.

Brad: Like about why I kept Wiley from his family and claimed he was mine and Lucas’?

Britt: No, no, do not say that.

Brad: Okay, then what case? I’ve been in the slammer. “Case” means something entirely different to me now.

Britt: Bradley, you’re going to go in there and tell Dr. Randolph — and please remember to call her Dr. Randolph, not Terry…

Brad: Dr. Randolph. Dr. Randolph. Okay.

Britt: …That you are a kick-ass lab tech who knows his stuff, which makes you the ideal advocate to explain medical tests and procedures to concerned patients.

Brad: Okay. Got it. I can do this.

Britt: Mm-hmm.

Brad: [ Exhales sharply ] Thanks, pretty lady. For everything.

Britt: I’m with you all the way.

Li: Dr. Westbourne? You need to come with me.

Spencer: How did you feel when you found out I was your son?

Nikolas: Shocked. Scared.

Spencer: Great. Thanks.

Nikolas: [ Sighs ] That’s when I found out. The first time that I held you, all of that went away, and in its place, it… there was this love that I’d never experienced before.

Spencer: Those were the days, huh?

Nikolas: I still love you. Never stopped. And if Esme is pregnant, I will be right by your side, if you want me there.

Esme: Oh, there appears to have been a misunderstanding.

Ava: Nope. This is my house. You’re not welcome.

Esme: I’m sorry you feel that way, but I’m not leaving.

Ava: The only question is how much hair you’ll have left on your head when you go.

Esme: You might want to run that by your husband. He invited me to stay.

Ava: He wouldn’t.

Esme: Spence will be staying here, too. We’ll all be one big, happy family.

Ava: You’re lying. Nikolas would never do this without talking to me first.

Esme: Mm. And yet he did.

Ava: My husband may have fallen for this helpless waif act, but I haven’t. I’ll set Nikolas straight. I hope you haven’t unpacked.

Esme: Ava. You seem to be a little bit behind the times, so let me catch you up. You could be a grandmother soon. Well, step-grandmother. Because I just might be pregnant.

Ava: Nikolas!

Elizabeth: Cameron told me the police think Trina Robinson posted the video.

Laura: She was arraigned today.

Elizabeth: It’s impossible. Cameron and Josslyn are her best friends. She would never.

Laura: And from what I know about Trina Robinson, I couldn’t agree more, but Jordan couldn’t ignore the evidence.

Elizabeth: Oh, what, that they found the phone in her bag? Clearly, somebody put it in there just to frame her. I’m sure you know who the kids think it is.

Laura: I do. [ Chuckles ] But I’m afraid I can’t comment.

Elizabeth: No, I know. It’s okay.

Laura: What I can say — I have faith that the PCPD will uncover the truth.

Elizabeth: I hope they do it quickly, because right now, I don’t have it in me to weather another crisis.

Laura: The police haven’t found out anything about who broke in here and why they left the portrait?

Elizabeth: No, no. Apparently, they don’t have much to go on. But on the bright side, we did rule out another suspect.

Laura: Well, that’s good. Who?

Elizabeth: Jake.

Laura: Jake? Why do you think he would do that?

Elizabeth: He and Franco were so, so close, and he wouldn’t be the first kid to object to his mother’s new boyfriend. But also, he’s just… I don’t know. He’s been off lately. A-and I got worried.

Laura: Worried how?

Elizabeth: Well, I felt like he was keeping something from me. Turns out, I was right.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Keys chirping ]

[ Cellphone thuds ]

Brad: Li, what are you doing here?

Britt: Uh, I have my meeting with your aunt Selina tonight. But I was expecting her to text me, not send an escort.

Brad: Wow, why didn’t you tell me that was tonight?

Britt: Because I didn’t want you to worry. I know you were stressed about your meeting.

Brad: But I wanted to come with, run interference between you and my aunt.

Britt: It’s fine. I’ll be fine. Mr. Li, is it? We should get going. Uh, where are we going?

Brad: Call me the second it’s over.

Britt: I promise. Good luck.

Brad: Right back at ya.

Amy: You know, Brook Lynn, I’m done with your tone. Detective, explain yourself.

Chase: Uh, well…

Amy: Brook Lynn’s song?

Brook Lynn: There’s plenty of local talent to choose from.

Amy: But Lucy wants to give first dibs to people who’ve performed at The Nurses’ Ball, and detective Chase has.

Brook Lynn: Amy, can we just drop it, okay? He doesn’t want to, so you don’t have to pressure him.

Chase: Brook Lynn, can we…?

Brook Lynn: Yeah, sure. Okay. [ Sighs ]

Chase: I thought we were good.

Brook Lynn: We are. Amy just didn’t realize that you’d already turned me down.

Chase: It’s just, I’m not a professional singer.

Brook Lynn: We don’t have to go over it again, okay? I-I know that you think that singing for Deception would hurt your image.

Chase: I didn’t mean it in that way.

Brook Lynn: Oh, yeah? Then in what totally-secure-with-yourself, don’t-care-what-people-think of-you way did you mean it?

Chase: Okay, maybe I did mean it in that way a little bit, but I have to think about going back on the force. I mean, my suspension’s not gonna last forever.

Gregory: I should hope not.

Chase: Dad?

Gregory: [ Laughing ]

Chase: Hey.

Gregory: So good to see you, son.

Chase: Ohh!

Gregory: Ohh. I’m sorry it’s been so long.

Chase: No, it’s okay. You’re here now. Hey, I want to introduce you to Brook Lynn Quartermaine.

Gregory: It’s alright. I know exactly who she is.

Nikolas: Ava, I am so sorry —

Ava: What the hell are you thinking bringing Esme into my house?

Spencer: It’s father’s house, not yours.

Nikolas: Esme, Spencer, I need to speak to Ava alone.

Nikolas: Fine.

Esme: I hope I didn’t cause any trouble. I never meant —

Ava: We all know what you meant.

[ Door closes ]

Ava: Explain.

Esme: What did I tell you? We’re already coming between your father and Ava.

Spencer: Great. Let’s go.

Esme: Go? Don’t you want to stay and hear the fight?

Spencer: Normally, I’d enjoy nothing more than watching my father’s marriage implode, but right now, we have things to do.

Esme: Such as…?

Spencer: It’s time to take that pregnancy test.

Gregory: You’re the reason my son got suspended.

Chase: Whoa, Dad. I told you I punched Valentin Cassadine. I got angry and I lost control, and I’m responsible for my own actions. Brook Lynn had nothing to do with it.

Brook Lynn: Well, that’s not entirely true. Chase punched Valentin to defend my honor.

Gregory: And pretended to be the father of your child. A child who wasn’t even yours.

Chase: Dad.

Violet: Grandpa!

Gregory: Hey, there she is. How’s my little princess? I’m going to go claim our table.

Chase: I am so sorry.

Brook Lynn: What for? He’s not wrong. Chase, I had everything to do with your suspension. I don’t take accountability for anything in my life, but even I can’t deny that.

Chase: Well, I can deny it, because it’s not true.

Finn: Hey, I’m the last one here?

Gregory: Hey.

Finn: Hey! I missed you! Ahh.

Gregory: It’s good to see you, son.

Finn: You, too, dad. Good to see you, too.

Chase: Brook Lynn, listen…

Brook Lynn: Look, the gang’s all here. You enjoy your family tonight.

Finn: Who’s hungry?

Violet: I am!

Finn: You’re hungry? How about you? You hungry?

Gregory: -Oh, absolutely.

Finn: -Alright, we’re hungry.

Amy: Darn it, my shift’s about to start. I have to go.

Maxie: Bye, Amy.

[ Indistinct chatter ]

Laura: Why would Jake hide the fact that his grandparents had reached out to him?

Elizabeth: He thought I would be angry if I found out. And truthfully, I’m furious, but not with Jake. My parents went behind my back, contacted him directly, without my knowledge, without my permission. Do you think I’m overreacting?

Laura: No. No. I think you have every right to be angry. You know, I’ve known Jeff for so long. I’ve just never understood why he and your mother don’t seem more interested in having a relationship with you and the boys.

Elizabeth: I’ve tried to come to terms with my parents’ choices. I mean, they’ve sacrificed a lot in pursuit of a higher calling. They’re worried about the world, just not about their daughter.

Laura: The hell with the world. You’re their daughter. It just makes no sense.

Ava: I just came from Trina’s arraignment. My Trina, in court because of that Esme.

Nikolas: There’s no proof.

Ava: Proof?! Are you seriously going to stand there with a straight face and talk to me about proof? You and I have done a lot of things. Is there proof? No. But we still did them.

Nikolas: You’re right. Maybe Trina didn’t do this, but that doesn’t —

Ava: Oh, please, Nikolas. Please tell me that you’re not falling for that helpless act of hers.

Nikolas: Esme is in danger.

Ava: Oh, God.

Nikolas: Sonny’s goons snatched her right off of the street, in front of Charlie’s.

Ava: So?

Nikolas: So, you know better than anyone how dangerous Sonny can be.

Ava: Yes, I do. And that’s precisely why I asked him to take care of Esme.

Spencer: Hey, unh-unh. Wrong room. Bathroom’s two doors down.

Esme: I need a second.

Nikolas: You’ve been putting this off for days.

Esme: This is a huge deal, Spence. What if I am pregnant?

Spencer: Esme, we’ve talked this to death. Just take the test.

Esme: Maybe I don’t want to take the test, because if I find out that I’m not pregnant, I could be at Sonny’s mercy again.

Spencer: Please. Uncle Sonny didn’t hurt you.

Esme: He said — he said he could make me disappear, so yes, I have been stalling, because no matter what this test says, my life is gonna change. I mean, if it’s negative, I’ll be all alone in the world again. And if it’s positive, you and I will be tied to each other forever.

Terry: Take a seat. Sorry for keeping you waiting.

Brad: Oh, I’m just, uh, grateful for the opportunity.

Terry: The opportunity to be an orderly?

Brad: Uh, well…

[ Door closes ]

Brad: Look, I-I know I can never work in a lab again, but Britt — Dr. Westbourne and I talked about me being a patient advocate.

Terry: And here I thought this was a general interview.

Brad: Uh, yeah, that’s — that’s fine, too.

Terry: Okay, Mr. Cooper, I’m going to level with you. I do not trust you enough to let you advise patients. If I were to sign off on hiring you, and that is a massively big if, orderly’s the only job I’d consider.

Brad: If I may —

Terry: Mm-hmm.

Brad: Now, if you look at my old performance evaluations, you’ll see that when I ran the lab, I was consistently praised for my efficiency.

Terry: Well, lab tests take less time when you’re falsifying the results.

Brad: I made mistakes, and I’ve paid for them. I’ve served my time, and I-I’m ready to start over. And I was just hoping that, even with what you know about me, you might still believe in second chances.

Selina: Good evening, Dr. Westbourne.

Britt: Ms. Wu. And here I thought this place was popular.

Selina: I wanted us to have privacy, so I bought out the entire restaurant.

Britt: Oh. Better and better.

Selina: Problem?

Britt: No. It’s just been a night of surprises. Private dining, a personal escort. Here I was expecting a text, and instead… uh, I guess I’m just finding it all a little excessive for a friendly dinner?

Selina: But we are not friends.

Britt: No, I guess we’re not. But that’s what this dinner is all about, right? To get to know each other? For Brad’s sake.

Selina: No, Dr. Westbourne, that’s not what’s happening here.

Elizabeth: This all doesn’t sound petty to you? Like, “I know you’re saving orphans and refugees, but pay attention to me”?

[ Both chuckle ]

Laura: Honey, no. Look, I-I don’t want to minimize the good that Jeff and Carolyn are doing in the world, but I’ve seen it, you know? Every time your parents miss another milestone in your life, I see how much it hurts you. Weddings, births, deaths. You needed them to be there with you, and they weren’t.

Elizabeth: Thank you for saying that. And thank you for verifying that I’m not this awful, petty person I think I am.

Laura: No. Oh, my goodness. I understand your pain. I really do. But it worries me a little that holding on to all of this ill will, that could be hurting you now.

Elizabeth: So I should just let it go? I mean, really, I thought I had, but now here they are, talking to my kid.

Laura: This is just a suggestion, but if Jeff and Carolyn are reaching out now, maybe this is the time to let them back into your life. Not for them. For the kids. And for you.

Violet: Thank you.

Finn: Thank you.

Violet: Let’s go wash our hands before dinner.

Finn: You’re right. They’re absolutely filthy. Bring Sophia. We’ll wash her hands, too. Let’s go.

Gregory: So, how have you been occupying your time —

Chase: What the hell was that, dad? What was what? Why were you being so rude to Brook Lynn?

Gregory: Rude? How? By — by stating the facts? She admitted it was her fault you were suspended.

Chase: Okay. You want facts, Dad? I’ll give you facts. Fact — Brook Lynn was trying to pull one over on Valentin. But fact — Peter August is a very dangerous person, and Brook Lynn was risking her life for a child.

Gregory: That’s a bit of an exaggeration, don’t you think

Chase: He gladly would have killed her. Dad, he was the one who poisoned me. But Brook Lynn faced her fears and the wrath from Valentin and her family to keep Maxie’s little baby safe. And the whole time, she was falling for this little girl that she knew she would have to give back. So you want facts, Dad? There you go.

Gregory: Son, I have to ask… do you have feelings for Brook Lynn?

Chase: Brook Lynn and I are friends.

Gregory: That’s not what I asked.

Chase: Come on. You’re judging someone you don’t even know.

Finn: So, uh, sweetheart, what do you want to eat?

Violet: I want to know why Uncle Chase was yelling at Grandpa.

Gregory: It’s okay, honey. Your uncle and I were just having a discussion.

Violet: Discussion? That means quiet yelling.

Britt: Why did you want to talk to me?

Selina: I want what’s best for Brad.

Britt: So do I. Is this about the job? Look… I know Brad appreciates your job offer, but he really wants to work at G.H. again. It’s important for Brad to build a new life on his own terms so he’ll succeed after being in prison.

Selina: You consider menial labor at a hospital a new life? Success?

Britt: He’s owned up to his mistakes. He just wants to turn his life around, and we both know he can’t do that working for your organization.

Selina: What do you know of my organization?

Britt: Only what I’ve read in the paper.

Selina: Brad looks to you for guidance.

Britt: We look to each other. We’re best friends.

Selina: Which means Brad will listen to you, and you will listen to me.

Britt: And why would I do that?

Selina: Because I knew your father.

Esme: If it turns out that I am pregnant, then everything I thought about how my life would be just goes out the window. And if I’m not, I could have a mob boss after me.

Spencer: I can protect you from Sonny.

Esme: But only if I’m pregnant.

Spencer: Regardless.

Esme: Spence, what are you saying?

Spencer: That you can stay here at Wyndemere, no matter what the test says.

Esme: Do you mean it?

Spencer: I promise.

Esme: [ Sighs ] Thank you, spence. Thank you.

Spencer: Now it’s time we find out the truth.

Nikolas: You sent Sonny after Esme? She’s just a kid.

Ava: That kid blew up my car. That kid thought nothing of using my dead daughter’s memory against me. That kid is a monster.

Nikolas: I know what she did, but —

Ava: But nothing! And I don’t want to hear about how she did it for Spencer. That girl is responsible for her choices and her actions, and now she’s responsible for humiliating Josslyn and Cameron and for trying to destroy Trina’s life.

Nikolas: Well, Trina will have a day in court. Sonny won’t give Esme the same courtesy.

Ava: Nikolas, I am telling you, it would never occur to Trina to make a sex tape of her friends, let alone send it to everybody at PCU. Whereas Esme has already proven she’s capable of anything.

Nikolas: If Esme is pregnant —

Ava: Oh, God! That is the oldest trick in the book. Please tell me you don’t believe that.

Nikolas: Esme isn’t claiming to be pregnant. She’s just late. What? Spencer and Esme are two college kids having sex. Are you saying there’s no possibility that Esme could be pregnant?

Ava: What I’m saying is, pregnant or not, I don’t want Esme in this house. And after what he’s done, I’m not so crazy about having Spencer here either, but he’s your son. Esme, on the other hand, has got to go. So, what’s it gonna be?

Nikolas: I’m sorry, Ava, but I’ve made my decision.

Spencer: Well?

Esme: It’s not an instant result. You have to wait five minutes.

Spencer: Where’s the test?

Esme: It’s on the sink. It has to stay flat. If you move it, the results could be compromised. It says so right here.

Spencer: Fine. We’ll wait together, and we will look at the test together.

Brad: I’m ready to prove that I can be trustworthy again. Or at all. And if orderly’s the only option, then orderly it is. Alright? I’ll clean up after patients, push wheelchairs, do whatever it’s gonna take.

Terry: Well, Mr. Cooper, I have to say, you’ve made a better impression than I expected.

Brad: [ Chuckles ] Let’s hear it for low expectations.

Terry: I would have to check with Dr. Jones, make sure his ex-husband working here wouldn’t upset him.

Brad: Please tell Lucas I would do my utmost to make sure our paths don’t cross.

Terry: Well, those are all the questions I have.

Brad: Great. So…?

Terry: We’ll let you know.

Brad: Thank you for your time.

Terry: I’ll walk you out.

Brad: Of the building?

Terry: Of my office.

Brad: Right. Thank you. Thanks again. [ Sighs ] That could have gone better.

Amy: You!

Brad: Hello, Amy.

Amy: What are you doing here?

Brad: I…

Amy: Answer the question, Brad. What are you doing lurking around Dr. Randolph’s office? What are you up to?

Brad: I had an in–

Amy: Security! Security!

Violet: Daddy, can we order some apps?

Finn: Yeah, we can…

Maxie: I’m just saying, it sounded like Chase was defending your honor.

Brook Lynn: Oh, good God, Maxie. You got to lay off the romance novels and start seeing someone for yourself. Look, now that Peter is finally dead, you can get back to your own life.

Maxie: Actually, about that…

Brook Lynn: Excuse me for interrupting, Ms. Quartermaine, but, uh, it would seem I owe you an apology.

Brook Lynn: An apology for what?

Gregory: I made some assumptions about you without having all the facts. Rest assured, my son has straightened me out. Please forgive my rudeness.

Brook Lynn: Of course. You were just looking out for your son, doing what any good parent would do.

Brook Lynn: Thank you. Just don’t let it happen again. I’m kidding. I’m kidding. [ Laughing ] I’m kidding.

Gregory: [ Chuckles ] I’m looking forward to getting to know you better.

Britt: Lots of people knew my father. He was quite literally infamous. I don’t remember him having any associations with the Wu’s.

Selina: So Faison took you into his confidence?

Britt: Not really. But there was a time we were closer.

Selina: I know. You traveled with Faison for several years before the authorities caught up with you in 2017.

Britt: I don’t particularly enjoy going down memory lane when it comes to my father. So what does this have to do with your mistaken belief that I’ll manipulate Brad for you?

Selina: Because I know what you and Cesar were doing in 2016.

Selina: You and your father were very busy in Lisbon back in 2016, weren’t you? Such a fascinating story. One the WSB and others closer to home would love to hear.

Britt: My father and I traveled all over. You’ll have to be more specific.

Selina: Mm. I don’t think I do.

Britt: You’re either bluffing or you’re fishing.

Selina: Maybe. But imagine for a moment that I’m doing neither. Imagine that I have all the proof I need to send you back to prison, for good this time.

Britt: What do you want?

Selina: I have plans for Bradley, and changing bedpans isn’t part of this. This is where you come in. You will keep Brad on the right path. The challenge, Dr. Westbourne, is that while you’re pulling Brad’s strings, he’ll never know that I’m pulling yours.

Amy: What are you after? Are you trying to steal records?

Brad: No. I had a job interview.

Amy: [ Scoffs ] Security!

Brad: [ Sighs ]

Terry: What is going on?

Amy: I caught Brad trying to sneak into your office.

Brad: I told you, I had an interview.

Amy: You’re a lying liar who lies. I don’t know who you bribed to get out of prison, but I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before you do something to get yourself thrown back in.

Terry: Nurse Driscoll. Lower your voice.

Amy: I don’t know why you’re mad at me. Brad’s the one —

Brad: Who is leaving. I’m leaving. Dr. Randolph, thank you for taking the time to meet with me. I sincerely hope we can work together again.

Amy: Fat chance!

Terry: Amy! That was entirely unprofessional.

Amy: [ Scoffs ] Brad deserves every word I said to him, and then some. Please, Dr. Randolph, you can’t let him work here.

Terry: I can if I want to.

Amy: Look, you’re new at the hospital.

Terry: I have been here for four years.

Amy: Four years?

[ Both chuckle ]

Amy: Time really does fly, doesn’t it? Even so —

Terry: Nurse Driscoll. Hiring staff is my decision, not yours.

Amy: But you missed Brad at his worst —

Terry: Nurse Driscoll. Please get back to work.

Ava: I see. So we’re not even gonna talk about this?

Nikolas: Are you actually interested in talking? Because it sounds to me like you’re making demands.

Ava: If Esme is pregnant, and that’s a really big if, Sonny won’t hurt her. She’ll be fine. And if she’s lying again? Sayonara, Esme. Set her adrift in the launch, and if she makes it to shore, let Sonny do his worst.

Nikolas: I can’t believe that I’m hearing this.

Ava: What about my position on this should even remotely surprise you?

Nikolas: That you, of all people, would be sending Esme to her fate with Sonny.

Ava: Sonny sees the situation a lot more clearly than you do. Now, understand this. Either Esme goes, or I go. Fine.

[ Timer beeps ]

Esme: Spence, if it’s negative, will you really let me stay here?

Spencer: I said that I would.

Esme: I’m so scared. Please tell me you’ll protect me from Sonny.

Spencer: I promise.

Esme: Thank you. Okay, then. Let’s find out if we’re having a baby.

Brook Lynn: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. So, wait, wh-what were you going to tell me before?

Maxie: What?

Brook Lynn: Yeah, before Chase’s dad came over. You were gonna say —

Maxie: That sure was something, wasn’t it? The way Chase stood up to his dad for you?

Brook Lynn: Yeah, of course he did. Chase always goes to bat for his friends.

Maxie: No, wait. Are you sure that’s all that is?

Gregory: I’m really looking forward to our next tea party. I can’t wait to hear all about what you’ve been up to.

Violet: Me and daddy have been having a lot of sleepovers at aunt Elizabeth’s.

Gregory: Is that right?

Finn: Mm. Yeah, we’ve been, uh, staying at Elizabeth’s a few nights a week, uh, in — in case…

Gregory: More problems?

Finn: No, no. Not lately. I’m kind of hoping the excitement is over.

Elizabeth: Thanks for the talk.

Laura: Oh, anytime. You take care of yourself, now.

Elizabeth: I’ll do my best. Love you.

Laura: Love you, too.

Elizabeth: Night.

Laura: Night.

[ Door Closes ]

[ Thud ]

Elizabeth: What do you want?

Man in shadow: Don’t forget me.

Elizabeth: Who are you?

Elizabeth: Okay. [ Sighs ] Okay. [ Exhales deeply ] That was one hell of a dream.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Maxie: To awe!

Brook Lynn: You don’t owe me anything.

Curtis (to Selina): I have made my position clear.

Finn (to Elizabetha and the boys): We need to call in reinforcements.

Scott (to Ava): Is there trouble on Spoon Island?

Esme (to Spencer): I have a confession to make.

Laura: Telle me I’ve misheard you.

Nina (to Sasha): This is just the beginning.

Brando (to Sonny): If I can ever repay the favor, I’d be honored.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sheila: You are not calling the police.

Steffy: You shot your son. We need to get help!

Sheila: I didn’t mean to. I didn’t even know he was here.

Steffy: Oh, you’re sick. You’re sick. You’re going to prison for the rest of your life.

Sheila: Put it down now!

Taylor: Oh, I love this photo.

Ridge: Well, that is our daughter in her element, isn’t it?

Taylor: Yeah, you know, steffy has accomplished so much in her young life. She’s excelled at everything she’s tried. She’s such a force.

Ridge: Reminds me of you.

Taylor: Aww. I can’t take all the credit. You know, steffy has always been so strong, so fearless, so full of life.

Bill: Always like seeing you on dad duty, being with the kids, fixing their toys.

Liam: Yeah. Well, the toy fixing kind of comes with the territory– where does this go?

Bill: And you love it.

Liam: I– I love the being a dad part, although between you and me, I’m pretty sure these, uh, these toys are optimized for frustrating parents. You wanna give it a go, grandpa?

Bill: Oh, hell no. No, no.

Liam: Ah, you sure?

Bill: I just came by to keep you company while hope’s out with her friends.

Liam: Oh, well, perhaps you’re better suited to help douglas with his magnetism and electricity science project–

Bill: No, no! I don’t want to do that either. You see, I hire people to deal with these things, thereby eliminating the frustration you’re going through right now.

Liam: Ah, duh!

Bill: Although I do love anything to do with electricity. It’s power.

Liam: Oh! All right, that was– that was good.

Bill: Actually, I did love helping will with his homework. Something I never got to do with you. I didn’t even know you existed.

Liam: Yeah, but… that’s not on you. We both know my mother wanted it that way. Besides, I think you more than made it up to me, given everything you’ve done for me.

Bill: I appreciate that, son. And when I look at you, the father that you are, I mean, you’ve been a rock for douglas, and beth and kelly. Those warrior princesses absolutely adore you.

Liam: Yeah, well, a lot of that’s luck, you know? And kids couldn’t have asked for better moms than hope and steffy.

Bill: You are a very committed dad.

Liam: Yeah, well, trying.

Bill: No, well, you were doing more than trying. Those kids are your priority, as they should be.

Liam: Hey, I mean, family is everything. You, in fact– you drilled that into my head, as well as wyatt’s, as well as will’s as– how is will doing?

Bill: Oh, he’s– he’s great. I mean, he is really thriving at boarding school. I miss the hell out of him, even though katie and I, you know, video call him all the time.

Liam: Yeah, I’m sure. Well, he won’t be gone forever, you know?

Bill: No, and I still have you and wyatt to run roughshod over. You see, a father’s work is never done.

Liam: No, no. It’s never done. Neither is a grandfather’s, by the way. And you still owe beth a bedtime story.

Bill: Yeah, I know, I was really bummed when I got here and she was already sleeping. I had my latest fairy tale all picked out, beauty

and the business tycoon.

Liam: Hey, it’s a classic.

Bill: Yeah.

Liam: Which one are you?

Bill: I could play both parts.

Liam: Touché, touché. Well, maybe you test it out on kelly, next time you see her.

Bill: Hey, um, speaking of my other granddaughter, I continue to be impressed with– with you playing such a huge part in her life, even though you don’t live with her.

Liam: Thank steffy for that. I mean, she’s just been so supportive of my relationship with my daughter. I’m just– I’m really lucky to have both kelly and steffy in my life.

Taylor: Do you remember when the kids were young, and steffy wanted to learn to play baseball and she was hounding thomas to teach her?

Ridge: I do remember. I also remember that he wasn’t too keen on it because he thought his friends were gonna make fun of him.

[ Taylor laughing ]

Thomas: Yeah. What, uh– what big brother wants his tomboy little sister hanging around him all the time? Especially when she can pitch better than him and all of his friends?

Ridge: But you did stand up for her. Told your friends that if she didn’t get to try out, you wouldn’t play.

Thomas: Which is something I remind her of every time I need a favor from her. Not that she ever needed my help. Steffy can…

[ Sighing ] Stand up for herself against anyone or anything.

Sheila: I said drop it!

Steffy: You’re crazy. Finn needs an ambulance.

Sheila: Steffy, do not make that call.

[ Gunshot ] Hi, I’m karen.

Liam: On the house.

Bill: Thank you. So you ever wonder who kelly will be when she grows up?

Liam: I can’t tell what you’re asking. You mean if she’ll be more like steffy or me?

Bill: Well, I mean, you know, two of you are a real study in– in contrasts. You know, you have this gigantic, loving heart.

Liam: Yeah. Well, so does steffy.

Bill: Mm-hmm. Yes, she does, but, uh… but she can be tough as nails when she has to be.

Liam: Hey! Oh! Well, I can– I can be tough as nails– what, are you saying I can’t be tough as nails? I can be tough as nails.

Bill: No, no, I’m not saying that at all. Look, what I’m saying–

[ Liam laughing ] Is that, uh, kelly is lucky to have parents who bring both strength and sensitivity to her life. I mean, you guys– you guys care about each other and– and support each other, even though you’re not married to one another.

Liam: No, that’s true. I mean, steffy and I are really good at that, supporting each other and it’s– you know what, it’s because we just don’t ever want kelly to feel stuck in the middle.

Bill: Yeah, well, that’s very admirable, though I imagine it’s also easier said than done.

Liam: Uh, it is easier said than done. Uh… mostly just because it’s– it’s all the history– history between steffy and me, between hope and me, between hope and steffy. But, um, but at the end of the day, you know, all three of us, the– the bottom line is the kids and their well-being.

Bill: You’re a hell of a dad, liam.

Liam: Gah! Well, you know, beth and kelly really make it easy, douglas, too.

Bill: Yeah. Well, uh, see if you’re still singing that tune when they hit their teenage years.

[ Liam laughing ]

Liam: You know, beth and douglas, not too worried about, kelly– gonna be a handful.

Bill: Just like her mom.

Liam: And I love them both. I’m always gonna love steffy.

Ridge: Well, you’re absolutely right. Your sister never backs down.

Taylor: Yeah but then again, her namesake never did either.

Thomas: Yeah, well, there’s a lot of grandma in steff, that’s for sure.

Taylor: You know, our daughter wouldn’t be who she is without that fearlessness.

Ridge: Fearlessness, yes, fearlessness is great. Doesn’t stop life from smacking you around, if it chooses to. So I’m glad she has finn in her corner.

[ Sheila panting ]

Sheila: Steffy. Steffy, can you hear me?

[ Gloves tugging ]

[ Sobbing ]

[ Gasping ]

You never know

what opportunities

Bill: I– I’m fully cognizant of how much all of this means to you, hope, and your family with her, being a dad to beth, kelly and douglas.

Liam: Okay, why do I– i feel like there’s a “but” coming?

Bill: No “but,” it’s just that, um, well, I– I’m also aware of– of how much your life with steffy meant to you and– and how special it was, uh, because of how special steffy is. And oh, I think that maybe she brought some things out in you that– that hope can’T.

Liam: Okay, I’m not exactly sure where you’re going with this, but if it’s going to end in some criticism of hope–

Bill: No, no, no, no, no criticism of– of hope. Uh, I’ve nothing against hope. I have a lot of respect for her. She– she’s a wonderful woman who clearly makes you happy.

Liam: Yeah, she does.

Bill: But she’s not steffy, and your marriage to hope is not what your marriage to steffy was.

Liam: Just say it. What’s– what is your point?

Bill: I have no idea. I– in fact, I don’t even think there’s really a, you know, point. It’s just– it’s an observation.

Liam: Yeah, well– I mean, it– it’s a pretty trivial observation that hope and steffy are, in fact, two different people.

Bill: Exactly. Ah, so I guess there was a point, after all, and you just made it, because you’re so smart. Even though you’re married to hope, you’ve just admitted that you will always love steffy.

Liam: Yeah, dad, of course I admit that. Steffy and I share so much. We share a child, we share history. I mean, she’s– she’s changed my life in incredible, profound ways. And just because, you know, just because we’re not together anymore doesn’t mean that I can even imagine my world without steffy in it.

[ Ridge sighing ]

Ridge: Finn has brought so much joy to steffy’s life, right?

Taylor: Yes, I get to see it every single day. They are– they’re just there for each other. They support each other. They bring out the best in one another.

Ridge: Yeah, no, it’s true.

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: And why are we dealing with sheila? Why– why does she have to be in the picture at all? She’s already caused so many problems for finn and steffy. I don’t want to cause any more.

[ Metal clinking ]

[ Sheila panting ]

[ Sobbing ]

[ Whimpering and groaning ]

[ Wailing ]

Deacon: Doing it right now, paul. Chill out.

[ Sighing] Living the life, aren’t you, deacon?

[ Metal creaking ]

[ Bottles rattling ] Oh, my god, finn! And steffy! Every year we try

Thomas: You know, I don’t think we should spend any more time talking about sheila.

Ridge: You think I wanna talk about her? I wish I didn’t have to. I wish she was out of our lives forever.

Taylor: Well, I don’t know if that’s gonna happen because her son, and her grandson, live in los angeles. But, you know, I– I do hope that she has changed, and I hope that she’s not going to cause trouble for–

Ridge: Wait, you hope so? She’s already caused trouble. Why do you say these things? I know you’re a psychiatrist and you see the best in everybody, but this is, it’s–

Taylor: Okay, okay, and I know that that’s annoying. I get it. I understand. I want to see the best in people. So sue me. I want people to be happy. And– but– but I also know that there are people in this world that are so deeply wounded that even therapy can’t help them.

Thomas: Right, and you don’t see sheila carter as one of those?

Taylor: Well, I mean, sheila has never been my patient, and… maybe she should have been. What I do know is it feels like sheila just wants to be my friend.

Ridge: Oh, okay, no, that’s good. Maybe she does. She just needs a friend. What do you– what are you talking about? Do you hear yourself? How do you even say these things after what she’s done to your family? What she’s done to us? Wherever that woman goes, wherever sheila shows up, tragedy follows.

[ Gunshot ringing ]

Sheila: Oh, finn. My son. My– my sweet, beautiful son. What have I done? What have I done? [ Sobbing ]

Deacon: Oh, my god, no. No, no, no. Finn. And steffy! Oh!

[ Phone dialing ]

Deacon: Yeah, yeah, there’s been a– a shooting, uh, two victims, in the alley behind il giardino. Uh, a man and a woman. Finn– uh, john finnegan, and steffy forrester. I– I don’t know what happened. I can’t tell, they’re not moving. Just get here, damn it! What happened?

Gabi: What are you doing here?

Jake: Grabbing the last of my things. Thought you’d still be at work.

Gabi: I left earlY. I wasn’t feeling well.

Jake: Sorry to hear that. See you around. But hopefully never.

Gabi: Jake, wait, hold on. Are we really gonna end things like this?

Nicole: HI, rafe, it’s me. I was hoping to catch you. Listen, I ran into abe, and he’s having a really rough time. I was hoping maybe we could invite him to dinner. Just give me a call when you get a chancE. Bye. I love you.

Ava: I love you, too. Oh. You weren’t talking to me?

Paulina: So, if the dealer who shot eli doesn’t use drugs, how’d he od?

Rafe: That’s the million-dollar question.

Tr: He just shot a cop. Maybe he was looking for a quick exit.

Rafe: Well, he had a gun. That’d be a bit quicker.

Tr: But a lot less enjoyable.

Rafe: Hmm. Well, lani seems to think it was an accidental overdose, which seems unlikely to me, considering he had no priors.

Tr: Well, just ’cause he didn’t have any priors doesn’t mean he wasn’t using, right? I mean, maybe he thought a hit would calm him dowN.

Rafe: Hmm, maybe.

Paulina: But you don’t buy it.

Rafe: Well, something just doesn’t sit right with me.

Tr: Well, we know he od’D. Does it really matter why? That animal shot my son-in-law! Unless you’re suggesting that he didn’T.

[Monitor beeping]

Lani: Thank you for the flowers, chanel. They’re-they’re really beautiful.

Chanel: I know elI can’t really enjoy them right now, but I figured it brightens up the room.

Lani: Definitely.

Chanel: Mom says you’ve been here, like, 24/7.

LanI: As much as I can be.

Chanel: Yeah, so how– can I help? You need doughnut delivery? Help with the kids? Anything?

LanI: Thank you, but we got it covereD. Your, um–paulina has been all over iT. Cleaning my apartment too. She called earlier and said that she was organizing my spice rack.

[Both chuckle] Alphabetically.

Chanel: Sounds like her.

Lani: Everyone has been really supportive. Even tr came to see eli.

Chanel: Your bio dad. Really? Is that–is that something you wanted?

Lani: I mean, I will take all the support I can right now.

Chanel: Yeah, it’s just, you know, just a few weeks ago, everyone was acting like that guy was the devil himself.

Lani: Yeah.

Allie: Did you hear what i said? Turn around and face me, you son of a bitch.

Johnny: I’m busy.

Allie: Well, I need to talk to you, johnny. What’s the problem? Can’t look me in the eye?

Johnny: Go away!

Allie: Fine, if you don’t want to turn around, I’ll make you!

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

[Soft orchestration]

Rafe: No, I don’t mean to suggest that someone besides frank shot eli.

Tr: What are you suggesting?

Rafe: I’m just saying that something doesn’t feel right, that’s all.

Paulina: Oh, I can see how determined you are. Eli is lucky to have you on the case.

Rafe: Well, eli’s been a good friend to me. And I owe it to him to find out the whole story. Why he was in the park, and why he got shot.

Paulina: Well, I have faith that you will turn over every stone to uncover the truth.

LanI: Ray–tr–he swears he’s a changed man.

Chanel: And you believe him?

Lani: I mean, i was skeptical at first, but, i mean, paulina has these awful stories from the past, but he’s gone through treatment and therapy, and even paulina admits that he’s a changed maN.

Chanel: Yeah, when I first met him, I never would have guessed that that was the guy that mama’s been running from for half of her life. He almost seems nice. He even did allie and me a huge favoR.

Lani: What did he do?

Chanel: He agreed to let allie and I out of our contracts as actors in johnny’s movie.

Lani: That would have been really awkward, if not a nightmare.

Chanel: There’s no way I could work with johnny now. I can’t even believe I thought he ever loved me.

Johnny: What is so damn important that we have to talk about it right now?

Allie: You told tripp that chanel and I are together.

Johnny: Yeah, so?

Allie: Why would you do that?

Johnny: I didn’t realize it was a secret–you guys were all over each other in the middle of the square.

Allie: It’s not that it’s a secret, johnny, but I wanted to tell tripp myself.

Johnny: I guess I didn’t realize you hadn’t yet.

Allie: Do not act innocenT. You knew that I hadn’t told him I slept with chanel when I accepted his proposal.

Johnny: Oh. So now it’s my fault that you cheated on him.

Allie: No, no, I own that! But lately, it is like you are enjoying watching my life fall apart. Like you are doing everything possible to make sure that happens. Why?

Gabi: Jake, i am so sorry. So, so sorry for how I treated you. I truly believed that you betrayed me firsT.

Jake: But you didn’t think to ask me about it, give me the benefit of the doubt?

GabI: Doubt–what are you talking about? I heard you talking with maggie stabbing me in the back.

Jake: Except it wasn’t me.

Gabi: How was I supposed to know that? The devil using belle to morph into you? It’s not exactly my bingo card.

Jake: It’s not about that, gabi, it’s about how you handled it, right? And instead of asking me about it, you lied. You lied, and you plotted with johnnY. And you singlehandedly destroyed our relationship, my career, my future.

Gabi: I regret all of that. I’ll figure out a way to fix this.

Jake: There’s no fixing iT. Because for us to fall apart as quickly as we did, it made me realize one thing, and that’s that we had a fundamental problem between us from the very beginning, and I think I know what it was.

Gabi: Jake, what are you talking about?

Jake: StefaN. You always wanted me to be stefan, but guess what? I’m not, and I never will be.

Gabi: What? I never wanted you to be him.

Jake: Face it, gabi. All I’ll ever be to you is a pale imitation of my twin brother.

GabI: That is not true.

Jake: Really? Then why is it that you won’t take that necklace off, huh? The necklace with his ring on it.

Gabi: ‘Cause I li–I like it, and it’s honoring his memory.

Jake: Right. Well, whatever the reason is, gabi, we’re broken. And there’s no fixing us.

Gabi: Jake, wait, where are you staying?

Jake: My old place over the garagE. Because it’s available, it’s cheap, and it’s the only thing I can afford, thanks to you.

Gabi: Jake–

Jake: So long, gabi.

Ava: So already at the “i love you” stage, huh? Well, that didn’t take long. But of course, you’ve been hiding your feelings for a long time, right?

Nicole: I’m sorry, ava, I am.

Ava: No, you’re not.

Nicole: Well, I’m about as sorry as you are for setting up rafe for a crime he didn’t commit.

Ava: Clever.

Nicole: It’s too bad your revenge plot wasn’t clever enough. And despite all your efforts, rafe was acquitted on all charges.

Ava: Oh, good for him. Yeah, yeah.

Nicole: So what are you gonna do with all this pent-up anger?

Ava: Well, guess we’re just gonna have to wait and find ouT.

Nicole: Oh, come on. Ava, will you stop it already? If you’re gonna come at me, then come at me.

Ava: You really mean that?

Nicole: I do–just have the guts to do it to my face.

Ava: Okay.

Nicole: Ow!

Ava: That looked like it stung. I’d apologize, but you did tell me to bring it to your face.

Nicole: Yeah, uh-huh, I did.

Ava: You regretting that now?

Nicole: No, actuallY. I’m glad the gloves are coming off, because now I won’t regret doing this.

Jake: Whoa, whoa, whoA. Ladies, ladies, ladies. What are you doing? What are you doing, huh? Hey. Come oN.

Paulina: Lani said eli wasn’t even working on this case when he got shot.

Rafe: That’s right. You know, in fact, mr. Coates, I just spoke with your ex-girlfriend beth about that very question.

Tr: Really? Why?

Rafe: Well, because eli was interviewing her right before the shooting, so you know, i thought perhaps she could provide some insight as to why he suddenly left the station and went to the park.

Tr: Did she know anything?

Rafe: No, unfortunately. All he said was that he had to take care of something.

Tr: That’s too bad.

Rafe: Yeah, it is. But I’ll keep on digging.

Paulina: Well, we don’t want to keep you if you have work to do.

Rafe: Thank you, yeah, I actually do have to get back to the station.

Paulina: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Well, thank you–thank you for the update, commissioner.

Rafe: Yeah–rafE.

Paulina: Thank you, rafe.

Rafe: Yeah.

Tr: Nice meeting you.

Rafe: Yeah, you too. You know, actually, lani says that you have changed, and, well, for her sake, I hope she’s right.

Lani: So you’re still hurting over johnny?

Chanel: I don’t have feelings for him anymore. I just, I can’t get over how wrong I was about him. Allie’s pretty much done with him too.

Lani: And what happened with tripp? He seemed upset when you came in.

Chanel: Yeah. Yeah, he’s pretty angry with me.

Lani: Why? What happened?

Chanel: Well, turns out that johnny took it upon himself to tell tripp that allie and I are a couple now.

Lani: Wait, what?

Johnny: Look, call me crazy, but I thought tripp had a right to know that you guys were doing the down and dirty behind his back. You know, bro code.

Allie: Oh, bro code? I’m your sister, johnny.

Johnny: Yeah. And when you do bad stuff, I’m gonna call you out.

Allie: I agree that tripp had a right to know. But I was going to break it to him gently.

Johnny: Oh yeah? When?

Allie: This is not your business.

Johnny: Actually, it is, because you see, chanel is still my wife, and she’s cheating on me with my twin sister.

Allie: Your marriage is over. You threw it away.

Johnny: Still, you can imagine how that makes me look.

Allie: Oh, is it humiliating for you? Good. I mean, after the way you humiliated chanel by dumping her in front of her entire family, you don’t get to play the victim.

Johnny: Look, we’ve already talked about this, right? You’re the one who’s always saying I’m a jerk, i’m a player. You even warned chanel about me.

Allie: Yeah, and she should have listened.

Johnny: Well, you got what you want–her. So what do you want from me?

Allie: I want to know what happened to the brother that I’ve loved my whole life.

[Knock at door]

Gabi: Oh, sonny.

Sonny: Hey.

Gabi: Thank you, uh, for stopping bY. Your text came in right when I needed it.

Sonny: Are you okay?

GabI: I will be. Come on in. You said you, uh, you had something from ari.

Sonny: Oh, right, yeah. She was really upset she couldn’t give this to you before she went back to phoenix.

Gabi: Oh, are you kidding me? Oh, this is so sweet, and it’s– it’s beautiful.

Sonny: Gabi, gabi, hey. It’s okay, okay? It’s just a bracelet. I know you miss her. But ari and will will be back.

GabI: It’s not just that. It’s my whole life. It’s jake.

Jake: Hey, hey, come on, ladies. What are you–what are you trying to do, kill each other?

Both: Yes!

Jake: Oh, great.

Ava: You told me I could hit yoU.

Jake: You did?

Nicole: Not exactly.

Ava: Yeah.

Jake: What, did you say she could hit you back?

Ava: Of course not. You already cheated with my boyfriend. You don’t get to hit me back.

Nicole: I tried to be your frienD.

Ava: Oh, nice job.

Nicole: Well, now it’s every woman for herselF. And if you think you can get between me and rafe, think again.

Ava: In the old days, I would have–

Jake: Uh-uh–don’t say it. Don’t even think it.

Ava: Yeah? Too late.

Jake: What? So what’s going on? Her and rafe?

Ava: Yeah. Yeah, they slept together months ago and been lying to me this whole time.

Jake: How’d you find out?

Ava: Let’s just say I figured it out, all right? And finally, rafe had the decency to break up with me.

Jake: Wow. Now, what, they’re, like, a real couple?

Ava: Now they’re in love.

Jake: Woof. SorrY.

Ava: Yeah, well, your girlfriend’s gonna be over the moon. Hey, her brother finally got rid of me.

Jake: Girlfriend. Yeah, gabi and I broke up.

Ava: Really? What happened?

Jake: You know, your cheek looks like it’s kind of bruised.

Ava: Is this your way of avoiding the subject?

Jake: It’s my way of saying how about we go inside and find you some ice, maybe sit down, swap war stories over a drink?

Ava: Yeah. Could definitely use a drink.

LanI: You and allie have been seeing each other.

Chanel: Mm-hmm.

LanI: Since when, chanel?

Chanel: It’s pretty new.

Lani: [Stammers] Sorry I seem so surpriseD. I just, I’ve–I’ve always thought she was–

Chanel: Straight?

Lani: Yes.

Chanel: Well, she actually identifies as bi. And who knows, maybe I am too. I’ve never really done the whole label thinG.

LanI: Okay, so, how did it happen? I mean, not how did– how did it happen, you know–

Chanel: I know what you mean.

LanI: Okay.

[Chuckles]

Chanel: Well, i think there’s-there’s always been feelings, but, you know, allie was with tripp, and i was with johnnY. But, you know, now that we’re both single, we figured we’d explore those feelings and see what happens.

LanI: Okay. How’s it going?

Chanel: So far, so good.

Lani: GooD. That’s really good. But you’re totally over johnny.

Chanel: I’m still, you know, hurt by what he did. I really did love hiM. But he’s just not the guy I thought I married.

Johnny: According to you, wasn’t I always just an insensitive jerk?

Allie: No, you were a player. I mean, I remember times where you were juggling three girls, and you would have sydney lie for you. But you weren’t cruel. I mean, I always thought that there was a heart underneath there.

Johnny: And you don’t think I have a heart now?

Allie: I just want to know why you’re acting like such a jerk. Okay, yeah, you and i used to bicker.

Johnny: Well, that’s one word for it. I think I still have a bald spot on my head from where you took out a fistful of haiR.

Allie: Okay, yeah, we fought, a lot, but through it all, I always felt like there was this connection. I mean, I swear, sometimes I felt like I could read your mind. And now I-I don’t feel that connection anymore. It’s like it’s gone.

Johnny: I’m sorry to hear you say that.

Allie: Okay, no, don’t just blow me off! Who are you? Where is the brother that I love?

Real johnny: I’m here, allie! I’m right here, but he won’t let me out!

Tr: You ask me, that cop was wasting his time. Like you said, they already have their man. Who cares why that loser od’d?

Paulina: I think everyone just wants to know for sure what happened to eli.

Tr: Huh.

[Phone beeps]

Tr: Damn.

Paulina: What-what is it?

Tr: Text from one of my producers. Crisis with the moviE. Look, I gotta go put out a fire, but I hate leaving you alone here with the kids.

Paulina: Well, they’re asleep. I think I can handle it.

Tr: Well, if you do need to call, you can call me anytime. I mean it.

Paulina: I know. I know you’re a busy man.

Tr: They’re our grandchildren. I never got to be with lani growing up. But I do want to be there for them. Besides, I like spending time with them. And with you.

Paulina: What are you doing?

Tr: I’m sorry, I, um, I was gonna give you a goodbye hug, but I would never touch you without your permission.

Paulina: You know I’m a hugger.

[Tense music]

Rafe: Thanks, abe. I will let you know what I find out. We’ll be in toucH.

Nicole: Hey.

Rafe: Hey, there.

Nicole: Hi.

Nicole: Oh, mm.

Rafe: What’s wrong?

Nicole: Oh, I’m just a bit sore on this side of my face.

Rafe: What happened?

Nicole: I had a little run-in with ava.

Ava: So you want to tell me what happened with you and gabi?

Jake: How much time you got?

Ava: Come on. It can’t be that complicated.

Jake: Well, the devil impersonated me so that gabi would think I betrayed her.

Ava: Are you serious?

GabI: Oh yeah. Add on top of that that I think she’s still in love with my dead twin brother.

Ava: Okay. Pretty complicated.

Jake: Yeah, but you know what’s simple? We’re done, me and gabi. That’s it. Just picked up the last of my stuff from her house.

Ava: So rafe hasn’t changed the locks yet, huh?

Jake: Ah, not yet.

Ava: You know, I know that I’m probably supposed to have a sad face and tell you how sorry I am, but I would much rather buy you a glass of champagne and congratulate you for finally getting away from that snake.

Gabi: Jake thinks I only fell in love with him because he reminded me of stefan.

Sonny: Yeah, but that’s– that’s not true, is it?

Gabi: No, of course not. I do understand why he didn’t believe me. When I first met him, I really did think it was stefan, and I desperately wanted him to bE.

Sonny: And that’s very understandablE. You thought your husband was back from the dead.

GabI: Yeah, and then, when i found out that he wasn’t, I really did fall in love with jake for who he really waS. Well, at least I thought i did.

Sonny: You’re second-guessing yourself.

GabI: Jake is right about one thing: The minute I thought he betrayed me, I turned on him so fasT. Maybe I didn’t fall in love with him for who he really was. Maybe-maybe I was just waiting for him to let me down.

Allie: Is something wrong?

Real johnny: Allie, can you hear me? I’m in here! It’s me!

Allie: Johnny, why are you acting like this? I mean, why in god’s name did you marry chanel if you didn’t love her?

Real johnny: I did love her!

Johnny: Because I knew it would get to you.

Allie: So you’re saying that you married chanel just to hurt mE.

Johnny: I’m just doing what I’ve always done. Like when I used to take your toys, you’d scream your head off.

Allie: Okay, you were two years old. You are a grown man now, and this is so not normaL. I mean, I can’t believe that you’re talking like thiS.

Real johnny: Because it’s not me, allie! Can’t you see?

Allie: Wait a minutE. I know what’s going on herE.

Ava: Well, since it is pretty sad that you were frozen out of your family’s company, beer’s on me.

Jake: Thanks, but you should probably keep the ice on your face so that it doesn’t swell up. Come on, tough guy.

Ava: Thanks. So where you going with that?

Jake: Oh, staying at my old place over the garage since ben and ciara moved out. What about you? Where are you staying?

Ava: Meh, i’ve just been lying low.

Jake: That’s right, I heard something about you being wanted by police.

Ava: Okay, they got nothing on me. But I was staying at a motel in brookville. I only came out when I heard that rafe was let out of jail.

Jake: Oh. So you’re gonna get back together?

Ava: No. No, me and rafe, we’re through. In fact, he is convinced that I set him up on those charges because he cheated on me.

Jake: Did you? Hmm?

Rafe: Ava hit you?

Nicole: Yeah.

Rafe: You’re here to press charges.

Nicole: No. No, I’m here to see you.

Rafe: Are you sure?

Nicole: Look, i definitely dared her to push me, and I went at her just as hard.

Rafe: You–nicole, you– oh, my god, you can’t do that, okay?

Nicole: I know, okay, I know! I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I should have controlled myself, but it’s just driving me crazy not knowing what ava’s gonna do to punish us next.

Rafe: Okay. Listen to me, okay? Next time you see her, call me, okay?

Nicole: I did. I did call you earlier. I left a message.

Rafe: Oh shoot, that’s right. I’m sorry, I turned my phone off and I meant to call you. I just, I was working on eli’s casE.

Nicole: I thought you knew who shot eli.

Rafe: Well, we do. There are just, uh, some unanswered questions.

LanI: I really hope you and allie will be happy together.

Chanel: Thanks, sis.

[Phone beeps]

Lani: Oh, I didn’t even realize how late it is. Eli is scheduled for some tests. I’m sure the nurse will be in here kicking us out any minute.

Chanel: Well, what about you? Do you need anything?

LanI: No, i’m good. I’m gonna duck out of here and go see the kids while I have a chancE.

Chanel: Kiss them for me, will you?

LanI: Of course. And thank you for the flowers.

Chanel: YeaH. And lani, I am so sorry that you’re going through this.

Lani: Everyone keeps saying that. But the only person who needs to be sorry is the criminal who shot my husband in cold blood.

Beth: I got your message. What’s going on?

Tr: I heard you paid a visit to the police commissioner.

Beth: Yeah, he needed me to come and sign my statement.

Tr: Then you stuck to our deal?

Beth: I didn’t tell him that you were a drug user or about the abuse.

Tr: Well, that I know. Because the commissioner sure as hell would have mentioned it if you had. But I need to make sure that you’re gonna continue to keep your mouth shut. He’s asking a lot of questions about elI grant’s shooting.

Beth: What do you care? You said you had nothing to do with that, right?

Tr: You know you can’t trust the police. I need to know I can count on you. Or things could get dicey– for both of us.

Johnny: What do you mean you know what’s really going on?

Allie: You’re saying all these horrible things, but underneath it all, it’s like–it’s like I can still feel the real you.

Real johnny: Yes, allie. Come oN. You can sense me. I know you can. Just like always.

Allie: You’re trying to push me away because there’s something going on, and you don’t want me to know.

Real johnny: You’re right. He doesn’t want you to know I’m here–the real mE. Let me out, you bastard!

Allie: Johnny, what is going on? Are you all right?

Jake: So if I were to look up the names of perps who implicated rafe, would i recognize them from back in the day, or…?

Ava: Of course noT. You know no one uses their real names.

Jake: Right.

Ava: Anyway, I didn’t say it was me who set up rafe.

Jake: Didn’t say that you didn’T.

Ava: Look, if I were to tell you that it was me, that’d make you an accessory after the fact. I’d never do that to you.

Jake: Hmm! All heart, this one. Look at yoU.

Ava: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Anyway, I know how hard you’ve been working to put your life of crime behind you.

Jake: Just like you.

Ava: Exactly.

Jake: Well, here’s to us, huh? Two former business associates trying to walk the straight and narrow.

Ava: Ah. The straight and narrow.

Nicole: So before he went to the park, eli had checked up on lani’s father, who, apparently, back in the day, was a piece of garbage.

Rafe: Yeah, but tr, he claims to have turned his life around, a claim actually supported by his most recent ex, and paulina and lani think it might be true.

Nicole: Well, good on him, if it sticks. But like i was telling abe earlier, in my experience, it is rare that guys like that change their stripes.

Rafe: Yeah.

Beth: Why do I feel like you’re threatening me?

Tr: I’m just trying to point out the opportunity costs. You still want to be in my movie, right?

Beth: Yes, of course I do. And I had a really great meeting with the directoR.

Tr: What’d you tell dimera about me?

Beth: I stuck to the story. But he was asking a lot of questions about how I got hired.

Tr: What kind of questions?

Beth: Well, apparently, mr. Dimera gets final say on all casting. He wanted to know why you hired me without his input.

Tr: And what’d you say?

Beth: I didn’t sleep with tr. I swear. All I did was agree to keep quiet about his past.

Johnny: What past?

Beth: He assumed I traded sexual favors to get the role. I didn’t correct his assumptions.

Tr: I hope you’re telling the trutH. Because if paulina finds out that I’m not as reformed as I said, this whole film could go to hell.

Allie: Johnny, are you all right?

Johnny: I’m fine.

Real johnny: I’m not fine. Allie! Help me!

Allie: Okay, what’s wrong?

Johnny: Will you shut up?

Allie: No, I will not shut up! I’m trying to help you!

Johnny: I wasn’t talking to you!

Allie: Well, then, who the hell are you talking to?

Sonny: Hey, your cheeks are kind of flusheD. Are you feeling okay?

Gabi: I’ve been betteR.

Sonny: You’re kind of warm. Okay, how about you get in the bed? I’ll make you some tea.

Gabi: Thank you. You’re the best. I don’t think, uh, tea’s gonna do the trick.

Sonny: Look, I’ve seen you rally over and over agaiN. Okay, you will get over jake.

GabI: It’s not just jake. You know, kate–kate told me that I am doomed to be alone. She pointed out that I have ousted every single person at dimera that cares for me, and she’s not wrong, sonny.

Sonny: [Laughs] Okay, well, rule number one: Never listen to kate dimerA.

GabI: I know, I knoW.

Sonny: And rule number two: You are not alone. Okay, you have ari. You have will. You’ve got your brother. And you have me.

Jake: So where to now? Back to brookville? Philly, what?

Ava: Ah, no, no, no. I’m staying here because my son is here, so I’ll be in salem.

Jake: You gonna get a place of your own?

Ava: I’m not really sure yet. Can’t really have tripp see me digging into my inheritance to pay the renT.

Jake: Could probably stay with him for a while, yeah?

Ava: I don’t think that’ll be such a good idea since he lives with his father and kayla.

Jake: Ah. Well, look, it’s not much, but, uh, you’re welcome to stay at my place, you know, just while you’re figuring things out.

Ava: Yeah, you don’t really mean that.

Jake: No, no, seriously. You’d probably be doing me a favor, as long as you help out with rent or, at minimum, keep the fridge stocked with beer at all times.

Ava: And you know, I’m a pretty good cook too, so.

Jake: Is that a yes?

Ava: I don’t really have many other options, so, um. You sure?

Jake: Slainte.

Ava: Salud.

Nicole: Rafe, I am sure you’re gonna figure out the whole story of eli’s shooting.

Rafe: I just wish I knew why he left that day. And how he ended up facing the drug dealer that shot hiM.

Nicole: And you can’t find any witnesses?

Rafe: No. Not so far. I mean, at this point, eli’s the only one who knows what really happened.

Tr: I’m a little over-leveraged right now. I had to move some money around to cover some debts.

Beth: What does paulina have to do with that? Unless–are you trying to get back with your ex because she’s rich? Oh, is that how you’re gonna finance the film?

Tr: Let’s just say it’s in your best interest to keep your mouth shut. Paulina needs to believe that I am a totally changed man.

Beth: Ah, so you can get your hands on her moneY.

Paulina: Oh. Lani, sweetheart. How are you doing?

LanI: I’m hanging in there. I hope the kids behaved for you.

Paulina: Toddlers don’t behave; they just are. You know, like hurricanes.

Lani: Well, that doesn’t sound good.

Paulina: I love them to death, you know thaT. They just ran around here, tired themselves out, and now they’re sleeping like angels.

Lani: Mm, did dad leave?

Paulina: You mean abe?

LanI: Of course I mean abe.

Paulina: RighT. It’s just that, uh, ray was here when he arrived.

Lani: And how did dad react?

Paulina: Not well. He was upset. He didn’t stay long.

Lani: He’s convinced that ray is bad news.

Paulina: Yeah, I can understand that. But you know, it really does seem like the man has changed. Actually, he reminds me of the sweet guy I knew all those years ago, before the drugs, you know, made him angry and abusive. Oh, but he was so good with your babies. You should have seen him. Carver even fell asleep in his arms.

Lani: It was really nice of him to come by and help out.

Paulina: Mm-hmm. I thought so. And he couldn’t have been more of a gentleman.

[Line trilling]

Chanel: God, horton, where are you?

Allie: Johnny, what is going on?

Johnny: [Stammers] It’s nothing, okay? I’m fine. Just-just-just get out of here! Leave me alone!

Real johnny: Help me, allie. Please. I know you can feel me.

Allie: Okay, johnny, what is happening to you? Okay, talk to me, please. I want to help you, I love you.

Johnny: Leave me alone!

Allie: Are you sick? Okay, I’m gonna take you to the hospital.

Demon johnny: I said leave me alone!

Recap written by Christine

Nick ran into Billy at Crimson Lights and asked if he talked to Victoria. Billy said he did, but he wasn’t able to get through to her. They were worried for Victoria’s safety. Billy said Victor was sending a security detail to Italy to protect Victoria, but that wouldn’t do much good when she was alone with Ashland. Nick wasn’t sure what to do – follow Victoria to Italy? Billy said Victoria would hate it, and it would further alienate her. Billy wanted to treat Ashland the way Ashland, Adam and Victor treated Gaines – lock him in a basement somewhere until he surrendered. At first, Nick said he hoped that was a joke, but when he saw that Billy was serious, they stared at each other as Nick briefly considered going along with the plan. Nick ultimately decided that it was a stupid idea, but he thought the fact that they even considered doing that showed how desperate they were. Billy thought Victoria was more desperate than them, because, besides something happening to their children, this was her worst nightmare. Victoria had been played for a fool and made to look weak and incompetent. Nick said Victoria would either go into denial or go after Ashland and prove he was the fool for underestimating her. Billy said whatever Victoria chose, it was clear she didn’t want their help.

Nick had to get home, but he hoped he didn’t wake up to bad news about Victoria and Ashland. Every instinct told him to rush to Victoria’s rescue. Billy understood, but he reiterated that Victoria didn’t want their help. He added that she didn’t want help from Victor either. Nick understood why Victoria didn’t want their dad’s help because that usually came with strings attached. Billy said it went deeper than that – one one hand Victoria wanted to be out of Victor’s control, but on the other hand, she wanted his approval and she always had. He thought Victoria was attracted to Ashland partially because he was a powerful man and Victor approved of him and the merger. Billy hadn’t said that to Victoria. Nick didn’t think he should. Billy added that Victor was worried Victoria risked his precious company, and unfortunately, she was going to do everything she could to win back his respect. Nick asked if Billy thought Victoria would reconcile with Ashland. Billy said no – Victoria was smarter than that. Nick wanted to think so. He just hoped Victoria had a plan to get Ashland out of the company and her life.

Victoria and Ashland were at her office. By phone, he told the pilot that the trip was canceled. Ashland noticed something wasn’t right, and he told Victoria. The pilot had seemed relieved that the trip was canceled, and Ashland didn’t see any storms on his weather app. Victoria sensed where Ashland was going with this, and she said it out loud – her father asked the pilot to stall the flight. She sighed about the lengths her father went through to try and control her. Ashland said Victoria’s family might have the preposterous belief that he’d hurt her. If that was the case, he understood Victor doing everything he could to protect Victoria. Victoria said Victor got his wish, because they were staying. Ashland noted that they weren’t staying because of Victor’s games; they were staying because they found out who set Ashland up, and they were going to prove it.

Ashland knew Victoria had wanted to get away from her family. He said the upside to postponing the trip was Adam wouldn’t have to fill in for them. Ashland relished the idea of Adam being kicked out before he could take the job. He griped about what Adam causing strife by framing Ashland. Victoria said that she couldn’t be sure Adam was guilty – it was just a hunch. Ashland said Victoria’s theory made sense. Victoria asked if Ashland had a plan to prove Adam did it. Ashland said the one good thing about Adam planting so much incriminating evidence against him was that it raised the chances that he’d made a mistake along the way for Ashland and Victoria to find. Victoria replied that people who pulled such elaborate cons usually made mistakes and were tripped up by their arrogance. Ashland asked what Victoria meant. “To come up with something this extreme, to convince yourself that you could actually pull it off, you would have to think that you were far more intelligent than anyone else. . .You would have to think that you were invincible. And that kind of overconfidence is beyond arrogance and I’m counting on that to bring Adam down,” Victoria said. Ashland was silent and seemed deep in thought. Victoria asked if something was wrong. Ashland said he was thinking about the worst case scenario – what if Adam covered his tracks so well that there was no incriminating evidence to be found? Victoria was adamant that they’d find something. “If this investigation proves fruitless, will you still believe in me?,” he asked. He couldn’t shake the feeling that she had doubts about his innocence.

Victoria held Ashland and tried to assure him she believed him. He just wondered whose side she’d take if if it came down to his word or Adam’s. She said she made it a rule to never believe one word that came out of Adam’s mouth. She asked if she’d be standing by his side if she didn’t believe him. She sensed he wasn’t convinced, and she asked how she could prove she was on his side. He apologized for what he’d said, and he promised he knew she was on his side. Victoria could relate to being framed by Adam. Ashland seemed stunned and asked for details. Victoria said Adam made it look like she tampered with her father’s medication, and she was arrested for it. She said the people who believed and loved her knew she’d never do anything like that. She apologized for ever doubting him. He said Adam’s sick game was forcing them to mistrust each other. He told her he was more convinced that Adam was behind this. He suggested they go home and rest. She told him to go ahead, because he had his health to consider. She was going to gather her family and tell them the trip was canceled. Ashland said Adam would be disappointed.

Rey and Chance were at Crimson Lights on the patio. Chance had filled out all the paperwork to end his leave of absence. Rey asked if Chance was feeling nervous. Chance was excited and ready for things to start feeling normal. Rey understood – after Sharon’s cancer, Faith’s surgery and Mariah’s kidnapping, he felt relieved when things settled down. Chance couldn’t wait to get back to the life he was building before everything was thrown off track. Rey respected Chance for facing his issues head on. Chance said he had no choice, since toughing it out failed. Rey said Chance could’ve called it quits. That was never an option for Chance – Abby never gave up on him, and he had to make good on the promises he’d made her. Rey had seen guys try to hide their pain, and they’d trashed their relationships and ended up miserable. Chance said he could’ve gone down that path if not for Abby and Devon didn’t convince him to go to therapy. He said Devon had been a pretty good friend through all this, and he’d worried about Chance, which was part of the reason they changed the custody agreement. Chance said Devon was a good father with an incredible bond with Dominic. Rey asked how that was for Chance. Chance was working hard to develop the same kind of bond with Dominic, but he didn’t have the same natural instincts as Devon. Abby said it would take time, but he couldn’t help feel like he would never be on the same level as Abby and Devon.

What Chance said reminded Rey of how he felt when he was around Nick. He clarified that it was different though because Chance was Dom’s dad while Rey was the stepfather to Sharon’s kids, so he’d never expect to have the same relationship with Faith, Noah or even Mariah that Nick did. “When they’re all together, even though they make me feel included and welcome, it’s like they’re the family unit and I’m the outsider,” Rey said. That was exactly how Chance felt. He said he was Dom’s father, but sometimes it felt like Devon’s claim to the baby was a bit more legitimate. He didn’t know if he’d ever bond with the baby like Devon and Abby did. Rey said it was a tough situation, because nobody had done anything wrong. Chance asked if Rey talked to Sharon about this. He said that he dealt with it on his own, and he told himself to be patient.

At Society, Abby overheard Chelsea get good news on the phone. The call ended. Chelsea got a good deal with a textile supplier. She and Abby talked about the high of starting a new business, and Chelsea brought up the time they worked together at the Grand Phoenix. Abby didn’t think “high” and the Grand Phoenix should be used together, after what happened at the party, with the spiked drinks. Chelsea said they had fun there though, before Phyllis… Abby was glad that Society was her sole focus now, because it gave her more time with Dominic. Chelsea felt like things were falling into place for her too. She was getting a fresh start, and she was proud of herself for not letting the bumps in the road derail her. “And by bumps in the road you mean my brother?,” Abby asked.
At first, Chelsea hoped she and Adam could get back together, but for every beautiful memory she reminded him of, he’d remind her of something devastating they did to each other. Adam wasn’t willing to take the risk again, and Chelsea eventually agreed. Abby had relationships where the love was there, but the trust was gone. Cutting your losses and walking way was hard. Abby was happy now, and she thought Chelsea would find that too, with someone who was more emotionally stable than Adam. Chelsea said Adam had grown up a lot. Abby hoped that continued, but she said you could never be sure when it came to Adam.

Chelsea said Adam was a great father. She said he could’ve used the things she did to drive a wedge between her and Connor, but he loved Connor enough not to do that. Abby wasn’t trying to insult Adam. She was just acknowledging the reality that her brother was a complicated person with a troubled past, and that meant sometimes Adam wasn’t there for Connor when he needed him. Chelsea said the same could be said for her, and that didn’t make her a bad parent. Abby apologized. Chelsea admitted she was defensive because everything Abby said had been weighing on her. She felt terrible about letting Connor down during her breakdown. Abby said Chelsea was ill, and it wasn’t her fault. Chelsea’s therapist said she was setting a good example for Connor by taking care of herself and trying to get better and be the best person she could be. She said Adam wasn’t in therapy, but he was trying to do the same. Abby gave Adam credit for that. Chelsea noted that Chance had been struggling. Abby conceded that she didn’t think less of Chance for that. Chelsea said they were all doing their best. Abby was surprised Chelsea was so protective toward Adam, given their history. Chelsea said they had a lot of history and they shared a son, so they’d always have that bond.

Rey and Chance went to Society. Chelsea gave Rey the hockey tickets for the game he and Connor were going to. Chelsea and Rey walked off. Abby told Chance that Rey was amazing – Chelsea almost ended his life, and now they were friends. Chance agreed that Rey was incredible, and he added that Chelsea had come a long way. Abby said Chelsea was healthier and stronger and navigating the coparenting thing with Adam. Abby thought it was nice that Rey was taking Connor to the game. She said he was a great father figure, maybe because he’d helped raise Lola, and now he was a father figure to Sharon’s kids. Abby added that Rey and Sharon took care of Christian sometimes, so it was no wonder they were welcoming Connor into the family fold too. Chance told Abby not to tell Nick, but sometimes Rey felt like an outsider in the family. Abby hoped Rey knew how valued and appreciated he was. Chance thought he did, but sometimes he compared himself to Nick and wondered if he measured up. Abby said that it wasn’t a competition – there was enough love to go around in the family. She kissed him and walked off, and he looked troubled. Abby came back and told Chance that things were great in the kitchen. He said she was having a great day. She replied that she was having a great life. This year taught her to be appreciative of the little things. She had a great husband and little boy, a great job, and they were all happy and healthy. She didn’t want to minimize what he was going through. He knew what she meant, and he thought tomorrow was going to be a big step forward for him.

Victor went to Newman Media and asked what Sally and Adam were doing there so late. Adam said they were working on ideas for Newman Locke. Adam shared his idea to integrate and strengthen Newman’s streaming platforms. Victor thought he made it clear that he installed Adam as temporary CEO to prevent any changes to the company, not to instigate them. Sally joined the conversation and tried to sell Adam’s pitch. She said if they delayed making decisions while waiting for Victoria to straighten things out with Ashland, Newman Locke would lose the race. Victor wasn’t concerned about that – he said the situation was temporary until Victoria threw Ashland to the curb, hopefully soon. Adam was rooting for Victoria, but he thought it would be a huge mistake to let the competition take advantage while Victoria was distracted. “The only ones I see trying to take advantage are the two of you,” Victor replied.

Victor liked the pitch, but the timing was off. Sally asked how there could ever be a bad time to strengthen the company’s profits. Victor knew Sally wanted the best for his son. He asked her to step out. Sally looked at Adam, who said he’d see her later, and she left. Victor thought Sally seemed to be a supportive COO. Adam said that if Victor was implying Sally was kissing up to him, he was wrong. He said Sally had always been very direct. Victor saw that Sally seemed eager for Adam to make his mark on the company. Adam saw no point in sitting on their hands. Victor said he’d had a lot of experience in life and in business. ‘Don’t get too close. Don’t you ever confuse the professional with the personal,” Victor warned. Adam said Sally wasn’t the problem; Ashland was, and they should be focused on getting rid of him.

Victor said he was singularly focused on getting Ashland out of the company, and that was why he didn’t want any distractions. He said if Victoria’s plan didn’t work, and Ashland’s deceit became public knowledge, they’d need to pivot on the spot. Adam thought Newman Locke would have something positive to pivot to. Adam wished Victor would have faith in him. Victor said he did. He shifted gears and said he liked the idea of a streaming platform. He wanted to hear more about it. Adam said they could buy land, build studios and when they weren’t using them, they’d rent them out to the competitors. Victor gave Adam permission to do the project. Adam was ready to move on this right away – he already knew who he wanted on the team. He also had a lot of other ideas he knew Victor would like. Victoria called, and Victor said he thought she was on her way to Italy. “No you did not,” she replied. She had something to discuss. He said he was currently talking to Adam. She told him to come to the office and bring Adam. Victor passed the message to Adam. Dam asked why Victoria wasn’t in Italy – did her plan already fall through? Victor didn’t know. They left. Ashland was lurking in the hallway, and he let himself into Adam’s office. Once inside, he pulled out a pair of rubber gloves.

At Victoria’s office, Adam asked Victoria why she didn’t go to Tuscany with Ashland. Victoria informed him that Victor convinced the pilot not to take off. Adam looked at Victor, who didn’t deny it or seem ashamed. Nick walked in, and Victoria thanked him for coming. She brought him up to speed on Victor deliberately having her flight delayed. Victoria said she and Ashland would be staying in town. Adam asked how that worked in everyone’s favor. Victoria said that Adam didn’t need to fill in as CEO anymore. Nick wanted to know Victoria’s plan if she was willing to share it. Victoria was waiting for Nikki so she could talk to everyone at once. Victor asked where Ashland was. Victoria wasn’t sure, but she had a pretty good idea.

Abigail is on the phone at the DiMera Mansion, going over the stories to print in the Spectator about Eli’s case and EJ’s trial. EJ then enters the room and tells Abigail that she’s behind the times as he announces that he’s free.

Shawn tries calling Belle but Belle comes home to get papers from work and says she didn’t know he would be there. Belle remarks that she thought maybe Shawn would be with the mother of his unborn child.

Jan sits in the prison waiting room, thinking back to being in bed with Shawn. Jan smiles and declares that it all worked out even better than she hoped.

Ciara comes out of her room to find Clyde cooking and asks where Ben is. Clyde informs her that Ben left early for the garage and wanted to let her sleep in. Clyde asks how Ciara wants her eggs. Clyde gets that she’s not crazy about him so he wants to take this opportunity to show her that he has changed. Ciara takes her eggs scrambled as Clyde talks about spoiling his future grandchild.

Chanel shows up at Nicole’s door and says she’s there to pick up Allie as she told her that she could sleep in while one of their assistants opened the Bakery today. Chanel notes that they have a very important cake to make for Ben and Ciara. Nicole informs Chanel that Allie isn’t here and she hasn’t seen her since yesterday. Chanel guesses Allie came home after Nicole went to bed and then went to the Bakery early. Nicole reveals that Allie’s bed was not slept in, so she hasn’t been there all night.

Johnny wakes up and is tied up in chains in the DiMera Crypt. Devil Allie enters. Johnny questions what happened to her.

EJ informs Abigail that his conviction has been overturned. Abigail says that’s wonderful and welcomes him home. EJ asks if she really means that. Abigail assures that she does now that she knows he did not kidnap Sami or attack her at the courthouse. EJ knows that must have been awful for her. Abigail confirms it was but she knows it was also awful for him, being framed by the Devil. EJ is just glad the truth is finally out. Abigail asks what is first on his list. EJ asks if Johnny is around. Abigail responds that she hasn’t seen him in a couple days but she knows he’s been really busy ever since joining the board at DiMera and helping Gabi oust Chad using EJ’s shares. EJ had no idea about that. Abigail questions EJ not pulling the strings from prison. EJ confirms that was done without his knowledge. EJ notes that he and Johnny are overdue for a talk but since he’s not here, he guesses he’ll take care of some other important business. Abigail asks if he’s going back the office already. EJ says no but he needs to thank Belle for securing his release, so he exits the mansion.

Shawn informs Belle that he is going to see Jan to confront her and get the truth, but he had to wait until visiting hours start. Belle points out that they just started. Shawn tells Belle that she has to know how sorry he is. Belle argues that sorry doesn’t really cut it in this case. Shawn doesn’t understand why since he wasn’t being unfaithful and he was set up. Belle tells him that it’s not about being unfaithful so she forgives him for that, but this is about him not telling her. Belle feels he didn’t respect or trust her enough to tell her that he slept with Jan Spears and might have conceived a baby. Shawn insists that it never crossed his mind that Jan would get pregnant as he was in shock. Belle complains that Shawn couldn’t tell the difference between her and the worst person on the planet. Shawn asks how he could tell the difference when Jan morphed in to her. Belle doesn’t know how Shawn was able to lie to her for all those months. Shawn assures he will regret that for the rest of his life, but there’s a chance that the baby is not his so he’s holding on to that. Belle prays that Jan is not pregnant with his baby, but either way it doesn’t change anything because Shawn hid something from her that she had a right to know and she doesn’t think she will ever get past that. Belle declares that the baby might disappear but Shawn lying to her is never going away. Shawn then exits the house as Belle cries.

Chanel asks if Nicole is sure that Allie didn’t sleep here. Nicole informs her that Allie texted her and said she wasn’t coming home, so she assumed that she was staying with Chanel. Chanel reveals that Allie texted her that she wanted to spend the night here alone with Henry, so she told her she would pick her up in the morning. Nicole says that doesn’t make sense. Chanel wonders what’s going on and where Allie could be.

Johnny questions what is going on here. The Devil reveals that he got a new body in Allie. Johnny realizes Allie is the Devil. Johnny says Allie can stop messing with him but the Devil assures it’s no joke. Johnny brings up Eric casting the Devil out of Marlena. The Devil says he chose to leave on his own. Johnny thought he was gone for good. The Devil says he was wrong and he’s been in Salem the entire time. Johnny asks if the Devil went from Marlena to Allie, but he reveals that he went in to Johnny.

Belle goes through papers at home until EJ shows up. Belle can’t believe EJ got out. EJ confirms the court overturned his conviction this morning, so he wanted to come thank her for all her hard work to get him exonerated. Belle blames herself for EJ being in prison to begin with. EJ reminds her that she’s not to blame. Belle is glad that her colleague sped up the process. EJ is surprised that he didn’t let her know. Belle checks her phone and sees all of her missed messages. EJ asks if everything is alright. Belle says it’s not as she’s been a basket case since yesterday. EJ asks what’s wrong. Belle responds that it’s nothing other than the fact that a lunatic is having her husband’s baby.

Shawn goes to see Jan at the prison. Jan says she knew he would come when Belle told him the news. Jan says she’s thrilled they are having a baby but she feels terrible about keeping him in the dark. Jan explains that now she’s in her second trimester. Shawn calls her a sadistic liar and asks why he would believe the baby is his.

Clyde brings Ciara her breakfast but she says she’s not too hungry. Clyde insists on not letting the food go to waste. Clyde wants to show her that he has changed and they can get to know each other better, then maybe start getting along. Clyde knows she doesn’t want him crashing here and that she only did it for Ben. Ciara says she allowed it temporarily because Ben reminded her of all the wonderful things Clyde has done for them and she knows how much it would mean to Ben to have a good relationship with him. Clyde says it would mean the world to him too which is why he will do anything he can to help them. Ciara mutters that she almost prefers when the Devil was fixated on her baby.

Nicole assures Chanel it must be a misunderstanding and asks when she last spoke to Allie. Chanel says it was yesterday and explains that Tripp went off on her at the hospital because she and Allie are a couple now. Nicole asks how he found out. Chanel informs her that Johnny couldn’t wait to open his big mouth again to make more trouble for his sister.

Johnny is shocked to find out he was possessed. The Devil says it’s a shame he doesn’t remember all the fun they had together. Johnny asks what the Devil made him do. The Devil says it was nothing he was happy about and talks about how Johnny fought harder than anybody. The Devil declares that he’s stronger than any love Johnny has in his life. Johnny questions no one knowing that Satan had taken over his body. The Devil says no one knew until yesterday when it had been three months. Johnny asks what happened yesterday. The Devil reveals that Allie figured it out, so now he’s inside of her and he can’t have Johnny blabbing around town about this. Johnny asks what the Devil is going to do with him now.

Clyde encourages Ciara to eat but she repeats that she’s not hungry. Clyde points out that she’s eating for two now. Ciara appreciates all the trouble he went through to make it but she has no appetite this morning. Clyde tells her to make sure she has a good lunch then. Clyde talks about making his own baby furniture. Clyde wants to paint the nursery as well after they find out the gender of the baby and he knows they want to keep that a surprise. Ciara reveals they changed their minds on that. Clyde asks if he’s having a grandson or a granddaughter. Ciara responds that they don’t know yet as Chanel and Allie have the sonogram results, so they are going to find out later tonight.

Chanel tells Nicole that she called Allie to give her the heads up that Tripp knew and she could tell that she was really upset, so she offered to come be with her but she had to be with Lani. Nicole recalls talking to Allie about them becoming a couple, so maybe she went to see Tripp. Nicole decides she will call Tripp and see if he’s seen her. Chanel has a bad feeling and then suggests that maybe instead of Tripp, Allie went to go see Johnny instead.

The Devil tells Johnny that he wanted to kill him but Allie fought him on that, so now he’s going to stay put while he goes to take care of other matters. Johnny argues that he can’t just leave him here as people will be looking for him. Johnny believes he and Chanel are married but the Devil reveals that Johnny dumped Chanel in front of everybody at their wedding reception and said marrying her was a huge mistake. Johnny screams that he would never do that as he loves her. The Devil says technically he did it, but Johnny got all the credit because he was in his body. The Devil tells Johnny that he broke Chanel’s heart in to a million little pieces.

Belle tells EJ about how Jan’s entire mission in life has been to tear her and Shawn apart and this time, she has a real shot. EJ encourages her to remember that Shawn is a victim as he was tricked and manipulated. EJ feels she should be furious with Jan. Belle assures that she is and she doesn’t blame Shawn but he’s not entirely innocent. Belle says that Shawn slept with Jan Spears and lied to her about it for months. Belle remarks that EJ doesn’t know what it feels like to have your spouse sleep with someone that you detest and then lie about it over and over. EJ responds that he actually knows exactly how that feels.

Shawn doesn’t believe he is the father of Jan’s baby. Jan assures that she would never make love with anyone else but him because he’s the only man in the world for her. Shawn feels she would go to any extremes to cause problems for he and Belle. Shawn calls her a psycho and a liar, so she’s going to get a paternity test but Jan refuses.

Abigail makes another call and asks about getting the EJ article up and says to get the news out there. Chanel shows up and asks if Johnny is there. Abigail says she hasn’t seen him and asks if everything is okay. Chanel informs her that it’s Allie as she doesn’t know where she is and she can’t find her, so she thought maybe she came here looking for Johnny. Abigail confirms she did come looking for him yesterday. Chanel wonders if Allie found him.

Johnny asks how the Devil could do that to Chanel. The Devil informs him that Chanel moved on from quite quick that night as she ended up doing the nasty with Allie. Johnny doesn’t believe it but the Devil promises that it’s true. The Devil tells him that Allie was the twin that Chanel wanted all along and that she was just using Johnny to make her jealous. Johnny argues that even if it were true, Allie would never betray Tripp. The Devil informs him that she did and they had the pleasure of giving Tripp the news, so Allie and Tripp are done too. The Devil adds them to the long list of couples that he’s destroyed.

Belle tells EJ that she can’t believe she said that when of course EJ just went through it with Sami. EJ says it wasn’t exactly the same, but he does know the pain of being lied to. EJ adds that what Belle is dealing with is potentially far more permanent. Belle states that this baby could be a part of Shawn’s life forever.

Shawn doesn’t get why Jan won’t take a paternity test. Jan says she is unwilling because their child is already so special to her, so she would never subject the baby to an unnecessary procedure. Shawn assures there is another way that won’t harm the baby unless there’s another reason that she doesn’t want to take the test.

The Devil says even after Johnny kicked Chanel to the curb, she admitted she wasn’t over him but now she’s over him and she hates his guts. The Devil adds that they told Tripp about Allie and Chanel right after Tripp proposed to Allie, so they also hate Johnny now too. Johnny calls this a nightmare. The Devil says now that he’s up to speed, he has places to go and people to see. The Devil declares that he has a baby on the way and there is nothing more important to him than that.

Clyde asks why Chanel and Allie have the sonogram results. Ciara explains that they are helping her and Ben with the gender reveal party. Clyde questions what that is. Ciara says it’s when you bring friends and family together to find out the sex of the baby together. Ciara calls it really fun and says some people go all out. Clyde asks why not just read it but Ciara says it’s more fun this way. Clyde asks what she plans to do. Ciara informs him that Allie and Chanel will bake a cake and when they cut in to it, it will either be pink or blue. Clyde says he loves a party so he asks where it is. Ciara hesitates so Clyde questions if he’s not invited.

Chanel asks Abigail how Allie seemed. Abigail admits she was a little off but she said she was upset because she and Johnny haven’t been getting along lately. Abigail says she offered to talk but Allie said she didn’t want to. Abigail recalls something odd as Allie said her and Johnny don’t hold back when they fight, so there’s always the possibility that someone could end up dead on the floor but she was joking. Abigail says she went upstairs to look for Johnny but when she came back, Allie was gone. Chanel wonders if Allie went to go talk to Tripp. Chanel says she has to run. Abigail tells her to let her know if she finds her or if she needs any help. Chanel thanks her and rushes out of the mansion.

Belle tells EJ that she couldn’t sleep last night because she kept remembering all the times she and Shawn talked about what happened with Jan but she felt they had gotten closer and stronger. Belle says they talked about how she got there in time and she felt okay but Shawn was lying to her each time as he had all those chances to tell her the truth. EJ asks what Shawn had to say about all of this. Belle tells him that he’s holding out hope that the baby is not his and he’s with Jan now to ask her to take a paternity test. EJ asks if she thinks Jan will agree to it. Belle notes that if she doesn’t, it’s safe to say the baby isn’t Shawn’s and she’s been lying.

Jan refuses to put their baby at risk. Shawn repeats that the test is safe and the results are accurate. Shawn reveals that he already made arrangements and they are waiting for them, so Jan agrees to go and says she has nothing to hide.

Clyde asks Ciara if he’s not invited to the party. Ciara points out that he just said it was stupid. Clyde apologizes and says he didn’t mean it. Clyde adds that he’s nervous around her because Ben loves her so much. Clyde promises to keep his mouth shut at the party if he’s invited. Ciara then agrees to invite him and says it’s at her grandparents house at 7:00. Ciara checks her phone and says Allie should’ve called by now but guesses she is busy.

Johnny talks about the Devil being after Ben and Ciara’s baby but he doesn’t know why. The Devil brings up peeking at the sonogram results. Johnny asks what he wants with that baby. The Devil declares that he’ll only say that baby is essential to his future plans which don’t concern Johnny. Johnny asks him to let him go then and he won’t say anything. The Devil warns that he could snap his neck right now and he will if he doesn’t shut up and let him work. The Devil declares that he needs to focus all his energy on the baby and he’s dealt with Johnny, so now he’s going to deal with Chanel because she is in his way again. Johnny asks what the Devil is going to do to Chanel. The Devil responds that he hasn’t decided yet but he knows he’s going to enjoy it. The Devil then leaves the Crypt while Johnny yells for him to leave Chanel alone.

Chanel returns to Nicole, who informs her that Tripp swears he has not heard from Allie. Chanel tells her that the last person to see Allie then was Abigail, who said that Allie seemed a little off. Nicole doesn’t want to alarm her but she thinks she should report this to Rafe. Nicole asks Chanel to stay here in case Allie shows up which she agrees to. Nicole encourages that this is just a mix up and they will find her. They agree to call each other if they hear anything as Nicole then exits.

Abigail walks around the living room and says she hopes Allie is okay. Abigail thinks back to coming back in to find Allie had left and the side door was left open. Abigail wonders if Allie went out that way. Abigail opens the door and sees footprints. Abigail then heads outside.

Belle has a message from her assistant and says she can’t do work right now. EJ puts her phone away and says whatever it is can wait. Belle can’t believe what a mess she is. EJ understands she’s dealing with a lot right now. Belle says so are the people counting on her to return their texts and calls. EJ assures that DiMera has plenty of people to take care of that but Belle says she wants to do what she always does. Belle says she’s always had the ability to do her job and cries that she can’t even do that right now. EJ encourages that everything is going to be okay as he hugs her. Shawn then walks in, surprised to see EJ is out of prison. EJ credits Belle for being brilliant at her job. EJ tells Belle to call if he can help in any way as he then exits. Belle asks Shawn if there is any news. Shawn responds that there is. Belle asks how it went and if Jan was overjoyed to see the father of her unborn baby. Shawn thought she wanted the news. Belle can’t imagine it is going to lift her spirits. Shawn informs her that Jan agreed to the test so the lab should be getting back to him soon. Belle feels that’s bad news since Jan agreeing must mean that she’s not worried about the results and already knows that he is her baby daddy. Shawn argues that it doesn’t mean anything as she could just be trying to drag out the torture. Belle doubts it, given how madly in love with him Jan is and it’s hard to imagine she’d get knocked up by anyone else. Shawn calls Jan insane so nothing is hard to imagine since she’s a lunatic. Belle remarks that maybe impending motherhood will mellow Jan but if she had to pick any woman who would definitely destroy their own child’s life, it would be Jan. Belle can’t imagine Jan caring for another human being. Shawn asks if they can just stop talking about Jan. Shawn then gets a call from the lab. Shawn hangs up and confirms to Belle that the baby is his.

Jan sits in prison with the test results and declares that now that Shawn is convinced the baby is his, he is going to be in their lives forever.

Clyde cleans up the kitchen until EJ shows up at the door. Clyde asks what the hell he’s doing there. EJ responds that he’s a free man, just like him. Clyde congratulates him and tries to shut the door but EJ stops him and says they have some unfinished business.

Devil Allie goes home where Chanel is relieved to see Allie.

Johnny screams for help while tied up in the DiMera Crypt.

Abigail follows the footprints to the Crypt and wonders why Allie would come here as she prepares to head inside.

Update written by Dustin

Drew dropped by Curtis and Portia’s new home for a small housewarming party. After Drew said hello to everyone, Drew and Curtis broke away from the group to chat. Drew saw Trina come into the living room, and asked how things had been going. Curtis explained that Trina had a lot of support, but she couldn’t seem to get past the impasse in her relationship with Spencer..

Drew and Curtis’ conversation shifted to Marshall. Curtis admitted that he had reached out to both Jordan and Sonny for assistance to try to get Marshall’s sealed records, but both had turned him down. Drew thought it had been for the best, especially with Sonny, because Curtis didn’t want to owe the mob any favors. T.J. checked in on Trina and she opened up about the frustration she felt over being falsely accused of betraying her friends. T.J. empathized because he had a similar experience when he was Trina’s age. Trina spoke of the unfairness of having your life spiral out of control when you haven’t even done anything wrong. Stella seemed to admit that she thought Curtis and Portia had moved in far too soon. Portia made it known that she had learned her lesson about taking things slow and had recently decided to grab onto her happiness and never let go. There is a moment where Stella seems a bit off. Portia notices it, but Stella explains it away as just being lost in thought. Moments later, Marshall arrives. Curtis was surprised to see his father, but T.J. stepped forward and explained that he had invited Marshall to the gathering, since it was mostly family. After Marshall exchanged greetings with everyone, decided to talk to Drew about the job offer that Drew had made him by explaining he has been doing multiple gigs and didn’t want to take a job away at Aurora Media from someone who had a greater need for it.

After Drew walked away, Curtis asked his father if he had ever visited Buenos Aires by pretending that Curtis and Portia were thinking about a trip to the city. Curtis was curious if Marshall had ever been there. Marshall acknowledged that he had been, but it had been quite a while. Uncomfortable with the topic, Marshall excused himself to check out the view outside. Stella joins Marshall on the terrace. Stella saw a prescription bottle in Marshall’s hand and angrily confronted him about popping pills, but he assured her it was heart medication. Stella warned Marshall that he had been taking a big chance and that the truth might get out, but he assured her that he would not let that happen. Stella conceded that she was in way too deep to go back on her word to Marshall, but she wanted Marshall to promise that he would not let things blow up in her face. Stella did not want to jeopardize her relationship with her family.

Portia checked on Trina. Trina admitted that the look on Spencer’s face when he’d confronted her in the interrogation room had hurt deeply. Portia told Trina she knew it hurt, but it also taught her who her true friends were. Trina explained that she didn’t even think Spencer believed she was guilty, but it was the only way Spencer was able to accept his nightmare of a relationship with Esme. Trina admitted she truly believed Spencer wanted to do what was right, but he always seem to take the easy way out.

Portia suggested that everyone gather for a family photo. Stella’s expression was filled with concern again. Portia called Stella over, but seconds later, she collapsed.

At the gym, Spencer was working out when Sonny emerged from the locker room. Spencer asked if his uncle intended to continue his lecture, but Sonny promised he’d said everything he had to say. After Spencer left, Sonny smiled to himself.

A short time later, Selina entered the gym. Sonny made it clear that the gym was his private space and not a place to conduct business. He advised Selina to make an appointment, but she admitted that Jordan had been breathing down her neck. Selina worried about how it would look if she were spotted at Sonny’s office. She said she thought the gym was a better idea, since it was a public place. Selina explained that she wanted to expand in Port Charles by getting into the gambling business. She reminded him that it wouldn’t conflict with any of his businesses in any way. Sonny was not pleased because Selina had never mentioned gambling when she had asked Sonny for access to the docks. Selina assured Sonny that he would get a cut of the profits. Sonny reminded Selina that he expected her to stick to his original terms because he did not want drugs moved through his territory. Selina and Sonny shook hands on it. Afterwards, Selina mentioned that she had heard about Sonny’s divorce, but Sonny refused to discuss it. However, he did tell Selina that Brick had been selected as Jason’s successor. Selina was pleased, and she admitted that the timing was good because she believed there to be a new crime family in Port Charles.

At Wyndemere, Laura broached the subject of the sex tape and hoped that Esme had nothing to do with the video of Cameron and Josslyn. Esme denied any involvement and was frustrated that no one believes her. Nikolas suggested they let the investigation run its course. Laura warned Esme not to betray the trust that Nikolas had extended when he had opened his home to Esme. “We already know the answer to that,” Ava said from the doorway. Nikolas was surprised by his wife’s unexpected return. Ava explained that she’d had a change of heart, “This is my damn house, too,” she said. Esme was clearly filled with rage, Laura suggested that both she and Esme step out to give Nikolas and Ava some privacy. Ava agreed because she didn’t want to get the “mother-to-be” all worked up in her delicate condition. Esme informed her that the pregnancy had been a false alarm. After Laura and Esme left, Nikolas insisted that — despite what Esme had done — Esme did not deserve to be on the receiving end of Sonny’s wrath. Ava accused Esme of being a liar, a criminal and a master manipulator who had framed Trina. Ava insisted that Trina was practically her daughter, and Ava would never be okay with Esme living at Wyndemere. However, Ava refused to let Esme, who she referred to as a “sociopath” drive her from her own home. Nikolas was disappointed that Ava hadn’t had a change of heart about Esme. Ava informed Nikolas that she intended to move back in, but she would not be sharing a bed with Nikolas until Esme was out. Ava intended to keep her eye on things until Nikolas could see the truth about Esme.

At the Metro Court restaurant, Victor read a text message that said, “Get it done. There’s too much at stake.” He put his phone away when Johan joined him. Victor explained that he would be leaving town for a couple of weeks and that he needed Johan to keep an eye on everything. Victor insisted it was a business trip, and he doubted that anyone would notice he was gone.

Victor saw Laura arrive at the bar and asked to buy her a drink. She declined the offer. Victor realizes during their conversation that while their methods were different their goals were similar for their families. He asked Laura to imagine a world where they were no longer enemies and instead worked together for a common goal.

Anna knocks on the door of Sam’s penthouse. Sam and Dante had been waiting for Anna because they had news for her. Dante and Sam believed they had uncovered proof that Luke had been murdered. Sam revealed that Spinelli had been monitoring the dark web ever since Drew’s run-in with Victor on the docks. Dante didn’t think it was a coincidence that Luke had been murdered, Victor had returned, and the Ice Princess diamond had been stolen. Anna agreed that the events had to be connected.

Sam pulled an auction up on her laptop, and Anna read about “the world’s largest uncut diamond.” Anna was certain it was the Ice Princess, and she agreed with Dante and Sam that the seller was likely Luke’s killer — who would lead them straight to Victor. Sam explained that to gain entry to the auction, they would need to show that they could participate in the bidding. Anna realized that Sam was right. Anna confided that Duke Lavery had left Anna a sizable inheritance, but she had never touched the money because of the ambiguous ways that Duke had accumulated his wealth. Anna decided to use the cryptocurrency to secure a place in the auction. Sam went to work setting everything up. In the hallway, Anna called Valentin, but the call went to voicemail. Anna explained that she had to leave town, but she was concerned because she hadn’t been able to reach him.

In French Polynesia, Jennifer Smith sat at a table on the beach, sipping a tropical drink as she spoke to a mystery person on the phone. Jennifer ended the call and ordered another drink. Suddenly, Valentin approaches her table. He was dressed in a white naval uniform and sporting a mustache. He addressed her in French then switched to heavily accented English as he offered to buy her a drink and asked if he could join her.

Update written by Joseph

Rafe goes to Nicole’s apartment. Nicole tells Rafe that she can’t shake the feeling that Ava is plotting revenge against them. Rafe encourages that they are just empty threats and it won’t be long before Ava is trying to torture someone else…

Jake gets out of the shower and tells Ava the bathroom is all hers. There’s a knock at the door so Jake assumes it must be Ben and Ciara, but he answers it to see Gabi. Gabi then sees Ava in Jake’s bed and questions what the hell she’s doing here and in his bed.

Kates goes to the Brady Pub and tells Roman to fire Clyde immediately.

Shawn asks Belle what Jan wanted after all this time. Belle then reveals that Jan is pregnant and claims that the baby is Shawn’s. Belle calls that impossible because they never slept together.

Ben works out at home. Ciara comes home and greets him. They kiss until Ciara asks where Clyde is. Ben jokes with her and then informs Ciara that Clyde is at work. Ciara questions Clyde having a job. Ben then reveals that her uncle Roman hired him.

Roman tells Kate that Clyde is doing good work so he’s not just going to fire him. Kate argues that he’s dangerous. Roman assures that he knows exactly what Clyde is capable of but he’s made his decision. Kate warns that Clyde will be selling drugs out of the Pub. Roman says not on his watch. Kate orders Roman to go tell Clyde that he needs to be gone. Clyde then comes over and asks if he heard his name.

Rafe asks Nicole where Allie and the kids are. Nicole informs him that Holly and Henry are sleeping while Allie is not coming home tonight, so she guesses she’s staying at Chanel’s. Rafe asks why. Nicole realizes Rafe is behind the times and then informs him that Allie and Chanel are officially a couple which surprises Rafe. Rafe questions Allie now dating Johnny’s ex and jokes about Sami’s kids not finding an easy route to romance. Nicole explains that Allie and Chanel had feelings for each other before Johnny came in to the picture and it just took them awhile to admit it. Rafe notes that he and Nicole can relate to that, but they finally figured it out. Rafe then points out that Allie is gone and the kids are sleeping, so they have the place to themselves as they start kissing.

Ava tells Gabi that she can explain. Ava brings up her and Rafe splitting up. Gabi remarks that Rafe finally wised up. Gabi asks what that has to do with Ava being in bed with Jake. Ava calls it fate since Gabi screwed over Jake while Rafe cheated on her, so what better way to get over the Hernandez wrecking crew than for them to be together.

Shawn questions Jan saying she’s pregnant. Belle repeats that it’s impossible since they never slept together since she got there in time and Jan just loves to torture her. Belle cries that this is the craziest thing Jan has ever done because Shawn would never ever sleep with her. Shawn then stops her and admits that he did sleep with Jan Spears but he thought it was Belle on their anniversary. Belle starts to feel sick. Shawn talks about realizing it wasn’t her when she walked in. Shawn swears he didn’t know it was Jan until that moment. Belle says she believes him but questions why the hell he didn’t tell her this months ago.

Ciara asks Ben why Roman hired Clyde as a short order cook. Ben says he explained the situation and Roman decided that he wanted to help. Ciara questions Ben thinking it would be a good idea. Ben says he had to get a job somewhere or else he’s in violation of his parole and this way an ex-cop can keep an eye on him. Ciara is just surprised that Roman went for it since Clyde used to be with Kate and now Roman and Kate are back together.

Kate accuses Clyde of eavesdropping on private conversations. Clyde responds that he just came to tell Roman that he finished the dishes and mopping the floor. Roman thanks him. Kate argues that she wouldn’t take Clyde’s word for anything. Clyde gets that Kate has issues with him but says he has a bone to pick with her too since the last time they met, she shot him. Kate calls it a flesh wound because he was trying to kidnap her great grandson. Kate asks if Roman is going to employ the guy who tried to steal Allie’s baby.

Gabi asks Jake how he can sleep with Ava. Jake asks what Ava is doing. Ava tells Jake that it’s okay and that Gabi has a right to know they are together now. Gabi argues that there is no way Jake touched Ava. Ava assures that he did and it was amazing. Gabi wants to kill Ava but Jake holds her back and admits that nothing happened and that Ava is just messing with Gabi. Ava tells Gabi that she was just having a little fun and the look on her face was worth it. Gabi tells her to shut up and asks why Ava is in Jake’s bed if nothing happened.

Nicole asks Rafe if there’s anything new on Eli’s shooting. Rafe wishes there was and talks about everything is right there except the answers only raise more questions. Rafe says his gut is telling him there’s more there and he promised Lani that he would find the answers. Nicole can’t imagine what Lani is going through and she’s so glad that Lani has Rafe. Rafe says Lani’s family is strong and supportive but he promised to find out what really happened so he has to do it. Nicole encourages that he will. Rafe then informs Nicole that Shawn had to arrest Anna for attacking Sarah with a syringe since Sarah has gone delusional from a drug that Kristen gave her and now Sarah thinks that she is Tony’s ex dead lover. Nicole jokes that Rafe’s day wins the crazy. Rafe points out that Nicole had to take a haymaker from Ava and asks about the rest of her day and if everything is okay at Basic Black. Nicole mentions having to be on the phone with her lawyer about a fashion site knocking off their originals. Nicole tells Rafe that they are here talking about their days like a normal couple. Rafe guesses that’s exactly what they are.

Ben tells Ciara that Kate is the main reason Clyde came to Salem in the first place and she wanted to get under Jordan’s skin. Ciara still can’t believe Kate dated Clyde and bets she regrets it now considering all the hell that Clyde brought in to town.

Clyde tells Kate that he never intended on stealing her great grandson but he got stuck in the middle of something and had no way out. Clyde adds that Ben was hurting so much from losing Ciara so he thought Henry would be perfect for him. Roman asks if Clyde realizes how wrong that was. Clyde swears he has learned the error of his ways. Clyde jokes that now that Ben and Ciara are having their own child, he doesn’t need to kidnap young ones anymore.

Jake tells Gabi that it’s none of her business but he invited Ava to stay with him because she had nowhere else to go after Rafe blew up their relationship. Gabi argues that Ava is the princess of the Vitali crime family so she must have money stashed somewhere. Ava reminds her that she gave up that money for Tripp. Gabi refuses to believe Ava. Ava doesn’t care and says it’s almost her bedtime so she tells Gabi to leave. Gabi asks if Jake really asked Ava to stay with him. Jake confirms that he did. Gabi tells him that now he can ask Ava to leave.

Belle questions why Shawn let her believe that nothing happened between he and Jan. Shawn apologizes and says he was ashamed as it was their anniversary. Belle accuses him of lying to her as he told her that he would never betray her. Shawn didn’t know how to say the words and didn’t want it to be real. Shawn wanted to forget it ever happened. Belle cries that they can’t do that now with a baby on the way. Belle tells Shawn how much it hurt to be blindsided by Jan Spears like that and have her gloat about their night of passion. Belle cries that Shawn didn’t have the guts to tell her the truth. Shawn says he wanted to protect her but Belle shouts that he humiliated her. Belle says they had always been a united front against Jan but this time, she was on the outside and Jan was thrilled like she won with everything she’s ever wanted. Shawn says he had no idea this would happen. Belle remarks that his little secret was exposed. Shawn asks how they really know Jan is pregnant. Belle informs him that Jan made her touch her stomach and she’s definitely pregnant. Shawn suggests the baby is not his and refuses to believe it without proof, so he’s going to have her take a paternity test.

Kate tells Roman that Clyde is making jokes about kidnapping children. Clyde admits it was a lame attempt to lighten the mood. Roman reminds Clyde that he’s former law enforcement. Clyde promises no more jokes as he will do whatever he has to in order to keep this job so he’s not going back to prison. Clyde knows he’s given good reason not to trust him but he swears that he’s a changed person. Clyde suggests one day if he’s successful, he and Kate could give it another go.

Ciara tells Ben that there is no way Clyde would ever hit on Kate since last time she saw him, she shot him, so she doesn’t think he’d want anything to do with her anymore. Ben points out that Clyde’s always loved a good challenge. Ciara hopes Clyde focuses more on making a wonderful impression at his new place of work. Ben kisses Ciara until Ben suggests they shower together.

Jake reminds Gabi that they broke up, so she has no say in what goes on here or any other area of his life. Gabi argues that Ava is using Jake. Jake tells Gabi that Ava is not going anywhere as she’s an invited guest in his home. Gabi complains that Ava is just doing this to get under her skin. Jake mocks it all being about her. Gabi says Ava has an agenda. Jake asks what Gabi’s agenda was when he walked in on her and Johnny about to have sex. Gabi argues that she told him that was a mistake as she thought he betrayed her. Jake complains that instead of talking to him about it, Gabi assumed and betrayed him, so they are done. Jake tells Gabi to get out and asks why she’s even here. Gabi asks Ava if she can speak to Jake alone. Jake tells Gabi to say whatever she has to say and get out. Gabi pleads with Jake for another chance with him.

Rafe and Nicole finish eating and sit together. They talk about this being nice and how it took long enough. They mention their old teddy bear Duke. Nicole recalls one of Tony DiMera’s wives writing a song about friends realizing they wanted to be lovers. Rafe admits he knew he wanted to be way more than friends with Nicole a long time ago, back when she was still married to Eric but he respected her marriage, though it became more difficult when he flew around the world for half a year so it was hard to stay away. Nicole responds that while Rafe was respecting her marriage, she was making a colossal mistake with Xander. Rafe says he made one too as he should’ve listened to Gabi and stayed away from Ava.

Ava mocks Gabi acting like she’s in a love scene and suggests she audition for Johnny’s new movie. Gabi tells Ava to go to Hell. Jake ask if Gabi honestly thinks he’d be crazy enough to go back to her after all the crap she pulled. Gabi brings up Jake’s relationship with Gwen. Jake asks what this has to do with Gwen. Gabi informs him that she and Gwen had cocktails which surprises Jake. Ava jokes that now this is getting interesting. Gabi adds that Gwen mentioned that when she and Jake were a couple, they’d have huge breakups, then make up and get back together again. Jake asks Gabi if she thought he’d just forget everything she did. Gabi says she told him that she was sorry and that she was wrong. Gabi adds that she would do anything to fix this. Jake says the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Jake declares that they are done and tells Gabi to go. Gabi agrees to leave as soon as Ava admits what she did to Rafe.

Ben continues kissing Ciara and talking about showering together but Ciara says she’s going to heat up the ribs that Julie sent home with her.

Recap written by Christine

“Phyllis, I didn’t know you were in town,” Diane said. Phyllis replied that she didn’t know Diane was alive. Diane assumed that Jack and Phyllis were together again. Phyllis wasn’t surprised Diane was still focused on Jack’s love life. Jack stated that he and Phyllis were here to talk about Kyle. Diane was relieved Jack was back. She honestly didn’t think she’d ever see him again. Phyllis yelled that Diane was being patronizing. Diane asked if Jack was going to help her connect with Kyle. Phyllis snapped that Diane didn’t deserve Kyle and never did. Diane asked if Phyllis flew out here just to ruin things between Diane and her son. Jack said he was planning to forget he ever saw Diane, and he only returned to the house because of Phyllis.

Diane was glad Jack returned, whatever the reason. Jack said Phyllis convinced him to tell Kyle the truth. Diane appreciated that. Phyllis clarified that she didn’t do it for Diane. Jack insisted on talking to Kyle first. He didn’t want Diane blindsiding him. Diane said something that made Jack and Phyllis suspect she’d already contacted Kyle. Diane said she hadn’t, but there was so much negative emotion surrounding this that it might taint Kyle’s reaction to the news. She wondered if she should stop being a coward and contact Kyle herself. “Making threats. Very very Diane of you,” Phyllis said. Diane thought it would be best for Kyle if the news came from Jack, but she revealed that she’d obtained Kyle’s phone number. Phyllis decided to back off because she didn’t want to watch Diane jerk Jack around. Diane could see Phyllis cared about Jack. Phyllis cared about Kyle too. Diane was aware that Kyle was Phyllis’s son in law.

Diane remembered little Kyle and Summer spending a Christmas together. She told Phyllis she was glad their kids were happy together. “We’re grandparents, Jack” Diane marveled. Jack said Diane wasn’t a nothing because she gave that right up when she left Kyle. Diane admitted she’d missed many special moments. Diane read about Phyllis’s success in Genoa City. Phyllis said she was flourishing, there was no toxicity in her life, and she’d learned form her mistakes and matured. She assumed Diane couldn’t relate. Diane understood Phyllis and Jack doubted her. Diane didn’t reach out earlier because she was scared of how people would react, and she still was afraid, but Kyle was worth taking risks for. Jack didn’t think the anonymous texts were the height of bravery. Diane noted that Jack wouldn’t have known about Allie if not for her texts. Diane was surprised that Jack wasn’t being more forgiving after what she’d done for him. She’d expected more from him.

Jack didn’t intend to ever forgive Diane. He told her how he’d had to hold Kyle while he sobbed – the kind of cries that tore a parent’s heart out. Diane wanted to make up for that. Jack said that wound could never be healed. “The minute Kyle knows you’re alive, he will know that he grieved for nothing!,” Jack bellowed. Diane conceded that she might not be able to fix what she broke, but she owed it to Kyle to try. She wanted Jack’s help. Phyllis interjected that Jack was the only one who could smooth the way for Diane. She told Diane to stop threatening to go to Kyle on her own. Diane denied saying that as a threat. Jack told Diane to stay away from Allie. He said she complicated Allie’s life while she was grieving for her father. At this point, he wouldn’t be surprised if Allie wanted nothing to do with the Abbotts. Diane said that, no matter what, she was the reason Jack knew Allie existed. She said she gave him a chance he didn’t have with Keemo – the same chance she wanted to have with Kyle. Phyllis accused Diane of using Keemo’s death to emotionally blackmail Jack. Jack was grateful to know about Keemo and Allie, and he’d repay Diane by telling Kyle about her. He ordered her to walk away if Kyle rejected her. “But isn’t that what you did with Keemo? He turned his back on you and you let him. Was that the right decision, Jack?” Diane replied. Jack seethed with rage, and Phyllis grabbed his arm and told him it was time to leave. Diane thanked Phyllis for getting through to Jack and said she hoped Jack and Phyllis’s relationship worked out this time. Phyllis sent Jack out the door and turned back to glare at Diane, who broadly smiled at her.

Jack and Phyllis went to the outdoor cafe, where she grappled with the news that Diane was alive. Jack said actually seeing Diane boggled the mind. Phyllis said Diane hadn’t changed – she was just better at hiding things. He asked if she still thought he should tell Kyle. She was sure that he should do that before Diane did. It went against Jack’s instincts to set Kyle up for that kind of pain. “This is gonna change [Kyle] forever and I’m partly to blame,” Jack said. Phyllis told Jack that he wasn’t doing anything to Kyle, except preparing him for the shock of his life. Jack kept wondering what he could’ve done to stop Diane from faking her death. Phyllis was sure there was nothing Jack could’ve done. Jack revealed that Diane came to him just before she “died” looking for money, but he didn’t hear her out. Phyllis said that if Jack had given Diane money, she would’ve taken Kyle. Phyllis said even if Diane didn’t fake her own death, she would’ve probably gone to prison, then Kyle would’ve had to deal with that. Jack said Kyle would’ve known Diane was alive. In Phyllis’s opinion, all Diane did was use Kyle as a pawn to get what she wanted and who she wanted. Phyllis said Kyle was an adult who could make his own decisions about Diane. Jack knew this would change Kyle’s opinion of his mother. Jack said Kyle loved his mother, but he loved the version of Diane that the adults around him let him remember. This Diane was a woman who would walk away from her son. Phyllis said that Jack let Dina back in. jack said he’d felt anger and resentment. Phyllis added that Jack eventually became grateful for his time with Dina. Jack said this was different – he knew Dina was healthy when she was away, but Kyle thought his mother was murdered. Phyllis said Kyle would get through this with love and support.

Jack thought Kyle needed to hear this in person. Phyllis said she’d fly over to Italy with Jack, and then give him time alone with Kyle, or she and Summer could be there if Jack wanted support. Jack didn’t like the idea of leaving the country with Diane running around, so he said Kyle and Summer would have to come home. Phyllis thought that was a good idea. “No one is better at getting their child through something like this than you,” Phyllis said. Jack felt that this was happening so fast. He just found out, and Diane already had Kyle’s number. Jack felt he and Kyle needed more time, but he knew he didn’t have it – Diane was a loose cannon who could just show up in Milan. He thanked Phyllis for showing up in LA. Jack said he was going to contact Kyle and lure him to Genoa City, just like Diane lured Jack to LA. Phyllis said it was different, but he wasn’t sure he agreed. Kyle agreed to come home and bring Harrison, but Summer had to work. Jack was going to tell Diane, hoping that it would keep her from doing anything drastic. Phyllis wanted to talk about Allie instead. Phyllis said Allie was very intelligent, and she had that twinkle in her eyes Jack mentioned. He knew she was trying to distract him, and he went with it. He said Allie was lovely and smart, and she felt deeply. “Just like an Abbott,” Phyllis replied.

Diane put a picture of herself, Kyle and Jack on the mantle. She had a flashback to an unhappy conversation with Jack. She felt that she was offering Jack a reasonable alternative. “No, we’re about to light into a custody battle and you’re getting a little nervous and I don’t blame you,” he replied. She didn’t understand why he was determined to think the worst of her. He replied that he’d learned from experience. She’d asked if he cared about Kyle at all. She told him that by going after full custody, he was going to force the judge to choose, and Kyle was going to be deprived of substantial relationship with one of his parents. “Something like that can leave very deep permanent scars on a child. Is that what you want for your son,” she asked. Diane had another flashback. In this one, she, Jack and Kyle were sitting by the pool. Jack was holding the toddler and letting him dip his toes in the water. Diane had her arms around Jack and said she was glad he was making memories with his son that would last forever. Phyllis walked out and saw Diane all cozied up to Jack and Kyle, like a happy family. Phyllis left without saying anything. Diane heard Phyllis leave, and she looked triumphant.

Allie showed up, pulling Diane out her trip down memory lane. As Allie looked at the photo, Diane said that things between Jack, Kyle and her weren’t always so painful. Allie said Kyle was adorable. Diane replied that he’d grown into a handsome man. Allie didn’t plan to come back – Jack didn’t want her anywhere near Diane. Allie was struck by everything Diane was doing to be with her son. Diane said she failed Kyle. She should’ve healed herself so she could look after him, and she couldn’t go back and fix that, but she could move forward and speak to him. She hoped to have the chance to hold her son again. “You love him that much. That was me and my dad,” Allie said. Diane was sorry Allie lost her dad. She asked if Allie spoke to her mother. Allie looked down. Diane could see the sadness in Allie from the moment they met. Diane knew how it felt. She asked if there was really no way to repair things between Allie and her mother. Allie was there because she wanted to hear about Kyle, Jack and the rest of the Abbott family. Diane said Allie could ask Jack. Allie wanted to hear it from Diane, an outsider.

Diane said Jack never expected to be the father of her child. Allie asked if Kyle wasn’t planned. Diane explained that she planned the pregnancy, but Jack wasn’t involved. Kyle was conceived through artificial insemination. The original plan was for another man to be Diane’s baby’s father, but there was a mix-up in the lab, and the wrong sample was used. Allie said that sounded crazy. Diane said it was, but Kyle was deeply wanted – her son meant everything to her, and he always would. Diane said Kyle was easy to love, just like Jack, but starting a family that way wasn’t the easiest path. A flashback played of Phyllis ordering Diane to take her kid and get out of town. “I don’t want to see you or your son ever again,” Phyllis said. Phyllis accused Diane of going after Jack and using her son as bait. In the next flashback, Diane tried to rattle Phyllis. “You’re Mrs. Jack Abbott, at least for the moment,” Diane told Phyllis. There were more flashbacks of the feud between Diane and Phyllis. Diane had crowed that she used to be engaged to Jack, and they’d shared a bedroom – probably the same one Jack and Phyllis now shared. In a different flashback, Diane, wearing a slinky red bikini, tried to entice Jack into taking a swim with her. Phyllis rushed out wearing a robe, and she removed it, revealing her nude body. Jack laughed and told Diane to excuse them. She went into the pool house and peeked through the blinds and saw Jack taking off his clothes.

Diane told Allie that once Diane was out of the picture, there was a lot less tension surrounding Kyle – he grew up with cousins, aunts and an adoring family. She said the Abbotts didn’t just let anyone in, but when they did, they’d love you forever. Diane knew she couldn’t expect love – the most she could hope for was a little understanding and forgiveness, but she had to try. Allie would need a minute to process all this information, but she’d get there. Allie asked what Diane was hoping would happen if she saw Kyle face to face. Diane was trying to keep her hopes small, so she didn’t tempt fate, but her big hope was to be Kyle’s mother in every way. She wanted to dote on Kyle’s child and have Sunday breakfasts in the Abbott dining room. “The family you’re part if is big and loving when they let you in. and there is no better place in the world. You’ll see. It’ll happen,” Diane said.

Ashley called Traci and Billy together at the Abbott mansion to talk about Keemo’s daughter. Ashley had called Jack a couple times, and he wasn’t picking up. Billy wasn’t worried – he figured Jack was just busy with Allie. Ashley thought the way Allie’s existence came to light was a little bizarre. She wondered if Allie was the texter. Even if Allie wasn’t the texter, she wondered why this mysterious person was injecting themselves into Jack and Allie’s life. It felt manipulative to Ashley, not altruistic. Traci shared some of the same concerns, but she didn’t want to jump to conclusions on Allie. She said Jack wasn’t naive, and he didn’t think Allie was the texter. Ashley suggested Jack was so excited about his granddaughter that he was ignoring red flags about her. Traci was concerned about the texter’s identity, but she said that there was something more important here – Jack found his granddaughter, and he was eager to welcome her into the family. Traci worried Allie didn’t share Jack’s enthusiasm, but if she did, Traci thought they should welcome her into the family. Billy thought it was good that Jack reached out to Allie. He though the family should stay neutral. Ashley wanted to give Allie the benefit of the doubt, but she thought Jack needed to be cautious. Ashley looked into Allie’s background.

Ashley didn’t do a deep dive into Allie’s past, just an internet search. She didn’t find anything alarming. She learned that Allie was a graduate student getting an advanced degree in chemical engineering. Billy said Allie was interested in chemistry, like her dad. Traci added that Allie was also taking after her great aunt, Ashley. Ashley assumed Jack had made that same connection and that he was moved Allie was following in his son’s footsteps. She thought Jack would offer Allie a role at Jabot at some point. Ashley suggested that Allie might be taking advantage of Jack’s role at Jabot. She said Jack was already calling Allie family. Traci noted that Allie was family. Ashley said Allie was also a stranger, and they didn’t know her motives. Billy agreed with that. He thought they should keep an eye on this because Jack had a tendency to see things through rose-colored glasses.

Billy felt for Allie a little – she was on her own, grieving her father and dealing with the bombshell that she was an Abbott. Billy kind of got it because he was late to the Abbott family table, and he had a different mother, and that had its challenges. Traci said, whatever their issues with Jill, they always loved Billy. He knew that, and he loved Traci and Ashley, but he didn’t get a lot of time with their dad, and it wasn’t always easy feeling like the outsider. Traci believed that it would healing for Jack and Allie to bond. Billy hoped that happened because Jack deserved it.

Ashley still had mixed feelings about all this. She was thinking Allie might reject Jack, just like Keemo did, and Jack would have to suffer all over again. She admitted she might be a tad cynical or overprotective. She hoped things worked out well. She admitted that she talked to Phyllis, and she didn’t see Allie as a threat. Traci said, whatever their concerns about Phyllis, she was savvy and she was protective over Jack. Billy thought they should be concerned Phyllis was this involved. Traci said Phyllis had consistently put Jack’s feelings first this time, and she’d been the perfect friend. Ashley wondered if Jack and Phyllis were more than friends. Billy wasn’t trying to figure that out. He just wanted Jack to be happy. Traci brought up the tear drop of love, that was supposed to bring true love to its owner. Traci suggested that Jack could have a relationship with Phyllis and a connection with his granddaughter.

Billy loved Traci and her knack for making things sound like they would end up as they should. Ashley said it was a gift. Ashley said her gift to her siblings was to keep her feelings about Phyllis to herself. She said it remained to be seen what Allie would be like. Traci was putting her faith in Jack, and she hoped Billy and Ashley could do the same. Ashley agreed to keep an open mind and give Allie a chance.
