Jake: You cold?

Ava: Why would I be cold? It’s may.

Jake: [Chuckles] It’s cold and it’s may.

[Mimics explosion] And creepy.

Ava: Yeah. It was your great idea to come here.

Jake: Yeah, it was. And it certainly didn’t put you in a chipper mood, now did it?

Ava: Okay, listen, I’m sorry. All right? I am sorry. I just–I–I cannot believe you have decided to go work for dimera again. I thought that you were done with that nest of vipers. And especially the queen viper herself.

Jake: Queen viper herself? You wouldn’t mean gabi, now would you?

Ava: Oh, yeah, gabi. Yes, and in spite of all the petty and miserable things she’s done, she still has her hooks in you.

Jake: No, no, she doesn’t have her hooks in me, okay? She presented a very good argument for me to back to dimera.

Ava: Mm-hmm. So when she was presenting that argument, was she on the top, bottom–

Jake: Okay, no, no, no. It wasn’t like that. Wasn’t like that. Look, it is my birthright to be part of dimera. Just like it is chad’s and ej’S. And I never should have let them chase me out of that company in the first place. Plus, shin is a big fan of mine. Gabi seems to think that I can help her stabilize the company.

Ava: Yeah. And it helps her keep you in her orbit. There’s gonna be business dinners, business trips…

Jake: Trust me when I say gabi and I are done.

Ava: Mmm. So you’re relationship’s just platonic then, huh? Kind of like ours.

[Sighs]

Steve: Mmm.

Kayla: [Giggles] Ahh. Hello.

Steve: Hi.

Kayla: That was quick. I just texted you 20 minutes ago.

Steve: Yeah, I was down at the station, um, asking about allie.

Kayla: And?

Steve: Well, if they know anything, they’re not talking.

Kayla: [Sighs]

Steve: How’s the baby?

Kayla: Perfect.

Steve: Ah, finally, some good news.

Kayla: Yeah.

Steve: What about ciara?

Kayla: She’s fine. Uh, she and ben are, predictably, over the moon.

Steve: Good.

Kayla: They told me what they named him.

Steve: Yeah?

Kayla: They named him bo.

Steve: That’s perfect.

Kate: Lucas, it’s me. I gave you 24 hours, and I haven’t heard a word from you.

[Groans] Everyone is looking for you and sami. They’re wondering where you are. And allie is in trouble, and she needs you. I know that I promised I would keep it a secret what you did to sami, but I am going to have to tell roman.

Roman: Tell roman what?

[Phone beeps]

Ciara: Ben, am I seeing things?

Ben: If you are, then I am too.

Ciara: Daddy?

Bo: In the flesh. Well, not exactly in the flesh.

[Sighs] I’m the one who taught you how to remap a fuel-injection system.

Ciara: [Gasps] It really is you. You came back. You were at the cemetery.

Bo: Yeah, that was me.

[Baby cries]

Ciara: You saved his life.

[Baby cooing]

[Sniffles] Honey… this is your grandad. Daddy, I named him bo.

[Baby cooing]

Bo: Thank you for that.

Eric: Tripp? Can you hear me?

Demon tripp: Well, that was surprisingly easy. The boy didn’t even put up a fight. But it seems his sacrifice was for naught. Allie is still going to die… and by tripp’s own hands.

Marlena: No! God, no!

Tripp: No! I won’t let you hurt her.

John: Let me help you, son.

Tripp: There is no help. There’s only–

Marlena: Tripp! No! No!

[Glass shattering]

John: [Groans]

[Dramatic music]

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

[Soft orchestration]

John: Oh, this is bad.

Eric: Yeah, let’s get down there.

Marlena: Allie?

Johnny: Hey.

Marlena: Allie?

Johnny: Hey. Everything’s fine. It’s fine. It’s fine.

Allie: No, it’s not. Wh–where are we?

Johnny: We’re at st. Luke’S.

Allie: We’re at a church? Why? Wh–what’s going on?

Marlena: Look, we’ll explain about all that. But what’s important is how are you? How do you feel?

Allie: I– I had awful dreams. The baby– there was a baby.

Johnny: Yeah. Allie, listen, that was ciara’s baby. He’s fine now.

Allie: But I– what did I do?

Marlena: Johnny–

Johnny: No, she needs to know. Like I did. You were possessed.

Allie: No. No, that was you.

Johnny: Yeah, yeah, I was. Uh, but then the devil went from me into you. And you fought him so hard, allie, you really did.

Allie: Tripp… tripp–just now I heard his voice. Tripp was here, I know he was. Where is he?

John: Don’t do it, don’t do it. Don’t touch him.

Eric: Tripp. Tripp, it’s eric. Can you hear me?

Tripp: Is–is allie okay?

John: Yeah, she’s fine, kid. She is just fine.

Eric: You saved her.

Tripp: The devil?

Eric: He’s gone. He’s gone, thanks to you.

Tripp: He tried to hurt allie.

John: Whoa, whoa, hang in there, come on, kid. Hang in there. Stay with me, stay with me.

Eric: We need an ambulance at st. Luke’S. There’s massive trauma. Just get here as fast as you can.

[Phone beeps] Ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks.

Marlena: Easy, easy. We heard the sirens.

Eric: John’s gone with tripp in the ambulance.

Allie: What are you talking about? Where’s tripp?

Eric: What does she know?

Allie: I know that tripp was here. You know what happened to him, don’t you? Tell me! For god’s sake, tell me.

Ciara: I never thought that I would see you again.

Bo: I’ve been watching over you all along. You, your mom, your brother, and now…this little guy. He’s safe.

Ciara: But the devil is still out there, dad.

Bo: No. The devil’s gone. He’s not coming back.

Ciara: Are you sure?

Bo: Am I– is that any way to speak to your old man?

Ciara: [Chuckles] No. Not at all.

Bo: Yeah, baby, I’m sure. You and this little guy are safe. It’s over.

Ciara: How do you know that, dad? How can you be sure?

Bo: Because one good man sacrificed everything to get rid of him.

Steve: You know, baby, I see a lot of bo in ciara. Don’t you?

Kayla: Oh, all the time. And now she’s so fierce about that little baby. Well, it’s like her dad was always so fierce about his kids.

Steve: Yeah, and that was pretty fierce.

Kayla: Yeah.

Steve: Hey, do you have time to give stephanie and joe a call and tell them they have a new cousin?

Kayla: Yeah.

Steve: Or is it a second cousin? I can never…

Kayla: John, hi.

Steve: Keep that straight. Hey, john. What’s the matter?

John: Tripp’s had an accident.

Steve: What kind of accident?

John: He took a fall, steve. It’s not good. He’s in the er.

Kayla: I–I better go down there.

Steve: Okay, let’s go.

Kayla: No, no, you– you need to stay here and call ava first, okay?

Steve: [Sighs] I’m right behind you.

Jake: I’m starting to think that maybe sometimes you don’t like gabi very much.

Ava: [Scoffs] You’re very funny.

Jake: So a minute ago… when you mentioned that our relationship is platonic, would I be out of line if I said maybe you don’t like that very much? Like, you know, if gabi hadn’t interrupted us that maybe…

Ava: Maybe I’m in a bad mood because gabi interrupted us.

Jake: Huh. Yeah, we don’t seem to be having very much fun here, huh? Maybe we should…head home?

Ava: Yeah. Yeah, let’s go.

[Phone rings] Hmm. It’s steve.

[Phone beeps] Hey, steve, what’s up?

Steve: Ava, tripp’s in the hospital. Uh, there’s been an accident.

Ava: Okay, how bad is it?

Steve: I–I don’t know yet. You just need to get down here right away.

Ava: Yeah, I’ll–I’ll be– I’ll be right there.

[Phone beeps]

Jake: Everything okay?

Ava: It’s tripp. I have to get to tripp.

Roman: Wow. Must, uh– whatever it is, this must be, uh, real bad. You’re, uh, ready to set tables rather than, uh, talk to me.

Kate: I– I’m not trying not to talk to you, I’m just trying to figure out how to tell you.

Roman: Tell me what?

Kate: I know that you’re worried about sami.

Roman: And?

Kate: Well, and I am too.

Roman: What?

Lucas: Wait, wait. Because of me? With depression, you just feel…blah.

Lucas: All right, mom. Mom, I can’t breathe. Come on. Hi, roman, how you doing?

Roman: Hey, lucas.

Kate: Okay, so where the hell were you, and why didn’t you answer my phone calls?

Lucas: Well–well, before I get to that, why don’t you just tell me how allie’s doing. Is she okay? Where is she?

Roman: Well, lucas, we’re, uh, sorry about that, but, uh, we don’t know.

Allie: You said I was possessed. Did I do that? Did I hurt tripp?

Eric: Allie… you didn’t hurt tripp, I promise.

Johnny: Allie, you fought the devil. You really fought him.

Eric: Listen, you’re in pretty rough shape. We need to get you home.

Allie: But I need to see tripp.

Eric: No, you don’T. The doctor’s gonna take care of tripp, and we’re gonna take care of you. You need to take care of henry.

Allie: Wait, but ciara’s baby?

Johnny: We didn’t even know where ciara was, you told us. And because of that, that baby boy is with his mom and dad. So come on. Let’s get you home.

Marlena: Yeah. Let’s get you home.

Eric: Come on.

Marlena: Come on, sweetie.

Ciara: Wait, who was it? What do you mean, “sacrifice everything”?

Bo: You’ll find out soon enough. But don’t worry. You and that little guy have a whole lot of bradys and hortons watching over you. Even a weston or two.

Ciara: [Weeps]

Bo: Oh, ben.

Ben: Yes, sir?

Bo: Please, don’t call me sir.

Ciara: [Laughs]

Ben: Yes, sir. I mean–I mean, um–

Bo: Look, man, um… I know you’re worried about having a baby, and I know why. But you gotta let it go. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s all about redemption. And you, young man? You’ve redeemed yourself. You’re a good man. Mm, you’re an okay husband.

[Chuckles] And if you work real hard, you’ll be a great dad.

Ciara: [Sniffles]

Ben: Thank you.

Bo: Oh. [Clears throat] I love you, little one. But I gotta go.

Ciara: Wait, no, dad–

Bo: Yeah, there’s something I gotta take care of. Tell your mom I love her. Give that little guy lots of kisses for me. And, little one, I’m really proud of you.

Ciara: [Sobs]

Bo: All right. I’m out of here.

Ciara: Dad, wait!

[Sobs]

[Sniffles] I always wanted you to meet my dad.

[Sniffles]

Ava: John, where is he? Wh–where’s tripp?

John: Took him straight to the trauma unit down that way. Steve’s with him.

Jake: I’ll wait here. Go.

Ava: Okay.

Jake: He gonna be okay?

John: I don’t know.

Kayla: 360. Clear.

[Paddles thump]

Ava: Is he gonna be okay? What–what happened to him?

[Monitor flatlining] Why are you stopping? Do it again.

Kayla: I’m–I’m sorry.

Steve: [Groans]

Kayla: I’m sorry.

Ava: Wh–wh–why are you– why are you sorry? Do–do–do–do it again.

Kayla: No, I’m sorry…

Ava: S–s–save him.

Kayla: It’s– it’s too late, he’s gone.

[Breathes unsteadily]

Ava: No, no, no. No, no, he–he can’t be gone. No. Tripp? Tripp?

Steve: Come on. Lemons.

Roman: What? Wait a minute. Sami’s in the hospital? Why are you just telling me this?

Lucas: Listen, we were skiing in italy, and she was going down this run– and I told her not to do it. I told her it was too advanced, and she wouldn’t listen to me. And she wiped out. She broke her leg. She fractured her leg, she has other fractures– it’s bad. She’s in traction and she can’t fly right now. There’s no way.

Kate: Ah ha. So why didn’t you call?

Lucas: Because the reception was terrible, that’s why. I mean, we did get your message about allie. Which is why, since sami heard that, she insisted that I fly home immediately. So here I am.

Roman: So you just left left her there?

Lucas: I didn’t leave her. I mean, she’ll be fine. You know? She’s in the hands of trained professionals.

Roman: All right, I need to let marlena know.

Kate: Okay, what’s the real story?

Lucas: I just told you the real story.

Kate: Oh. Oh, she’s really in the hospital?

Lucas: Yeah, she is, mom. Now, why would I lie about something like that?

Kate: Oh, I don’t know, maybe because you lied the first time you kidnapped her. Why not this time?

Ben: You know, now more than ever…

[Baby coos] I am so glad we named him after your dad.

Ciara: Mmm.

[Sniffles] It was him at the cemetery, ben.

[Baby cooing]

[Sniffles] He’s the reason why I was able to step in the pentagram.

Ben: Ciara, he’s why we’re with our son right now.

Jake: Hey. Gimme this good news.

Ciara: [Sniffles]

Jake: Oh, I’ll, uh– I’ll come back.

Ciara: No, no, it’s fine. Come. You can meet– come meet bo.

Jake: Oh, man.

Ciara: Aw.

Jake: Aw, he’s beautiful.

Ciara: [Sniffles] Mmm.

Jake: [Sighs] And he’s okay.

Ciara: Yeah.

Jake: You are too, right?

Ciara: Uh–[Chuckles weakly] Yeah. Yeah, I am. It’s been a crazy night though.

Jake: Sure has.

Both: Yeah.

Ciara: [Exhales unsteadily]

Ben: What is it, jake?

Jake: I wish I didn’t have to tell you this, but, um… ava got a call about a half hour ago. Tripp was in an accident. Although john made it sound like it was less of an accident, more of A…sacrifice.

Ciara: Ben, my dad said something about a– oh, my god, jake… is tripp dead?

Ava: Kayla, please. Kayla, please do something.

Kayla: Um, I’m sorry. There is nothing else that can be done. I’m–I’m really so sorry.

Ava: Stop saying you’re sorry. You’re not.

Steve: Ava, stop, please.

Ava: No, the hell I will.

Steve: Come on.

Ava: You happy? You happy now?

Steve: [Groans]

Ava: Huh? Now that you got everything that you wanted? You hated–you hated that– that steve and I had– had a son, didn’t you? And so–so you killed him. You just let him die.

Steve: No, ava– ava, stop it! Stop it! Our–our son is dead. Kayla did everything she could. But he’s gone. And you have to stop this. Out of respect for him.

Kayla: Uh… we’re–we’re gonna leave you alone.

Steve: [Sighs]

[Sniffles]

[Emotional music]

[Sniffles]

Ava: He’s dead.

[Sniffling] Our sweet, perfect boy is dead.

[Sobbing]

[Both crying]

Kayla: [Sniffles]

John: Kay?

Kayla: Uh… I lost him.

John: Oh, my god.

Kayla: I did everything I could, but I–

[Sobs] But I lost him.

John: I know, I know that. I know, kay, I know.

Kayla: [Exhales heavily]

Johnny: Grandma, you’re a doctor. You think tripp’s gonna make it?

Marlena: Oh, hi.

Allie: He’s sleeping. I don’t even remember the last time I saw him.

Marlena: Well, he’s– he’s been fine. We’ve all been looking after him.

Johnny: Yeah.

Allie: Thank you. But now you need to tell me what happened–what I did.

Marlena: Well, maybe that can wait until you’re a little more rested.

Allie: No, I can’t sleep. I mean, I need to know. You told me that the devil left you and went into me? How?

Johnny: Okay, okay, do you, um–[Clears throat] Do you remember coming to the mansion to tell me off?

Allie: Yes, because you’d–

Johnny: Because I had told tripp about you and chanel. But that wasn’t me, allie.

Allie: It was the devil?

Johnny: You figured that out. And you were helping me fight. But then…

Allie: He went into me?

Johnny: I was so worried about you. I missed you.

Allie: I don’t remember much, but I missed you too. Looking to get back in your type 2 diabetes zone?

Lucas: You think I kidnapped sami?

Kate: Oh, spare me. Seriously, it wouldn’t be the first time.

Lucas: Shh.

Kate: Hey, so did you talk to marlena?

Roman: Uh, voicemail. Left a message. It’s not as if she doesn’t have enough to worry about with allie, now this with sami.

Lucas: Well, you said that something was going on with allie before. She was in some kind of trouble. What’s going on?

Kate: Lucas, allie’s possessed.

Lucas: By the devil? You’re busting my chops not telling you that sami’s in the hospital, and my own daughter’s possessed by the devil now?

Eric: No, no, not any more.

Roman: What happened?

Eric: [Sighs] Tripp, he’s in the hospital. He saved allie’s life.

Lucas: He saved her?

Eric: Allie’s life was at stake. The devil had control of her, and, tripp, he called the devil into him. And then when he had control of tripp, he tried to kill allie.

Lucas: What?

Eric: He threw himself out the church tower window.

Lucas: So where is allie now? Is she at the hospital too?

Eric: No, mom and johnny, they took her over to nicole’s to see henry.

Lucas: I gotta go. I gotta get to her.

[Tense music]

Marlena: Why don’t you get some rest?

Johnny: [Sighs] Allie, you’re falling down tired. Why don’t you do what grandma says.

Allie: I’m home. Thank you.

Johnny: Yeah.

Allie: Thank you.

Marlena: Mm-hmm.

[Both sigh]

Johnny: [Sniffs]

[Clears throat]

[Sighs] If tripp doesn’t make it, I don’t know what that’ll do to her.

[Phone ringing]

Marlena: It’s john.

[Phone beeps] John?

John: I’m afraid it’s bad news, doc.

Jake: Your father was here?

Ciara: First at the cemetery, and then right here just now.

[Baby hiccupping]

Ben: John said tripp was trying to save allie.

Jake: Yeah. Yeah, he got the devil to leave her and go into him.

Ben: And he jumped.

Ciara: Um, but allie’s okay? She’s fine?

Jake: Yeah.

Ciara: Back at the cabin, and then at the cemetery, it was so terrifying to look at her beautiful face and to see so much hatred and evil.

[Baby coos]

Ben: Kid, I sure hope the rest of your life is is a lot calmer than the beginning. And I’m so glad that you’re okay.

Ciara: [Sniffles] Yeah.

Jake: Dude… congratulations.

Ciara: Thank you.

Jake: I’m happy for you guys.

Ciara: Thank you.

Jake: All right, I’m gonna go check on tripp. Ava can’t lose him.

Ciara: [Exhales heavily]

[Phone beeps]

John: Doc sends her love.

Jake: It’s bad, isn’t it?

John: Tripp died a few minutes ago.

Jake: Where’s ava?

Kayla: Uh, she’s with steve in the trauma room with tripp.

Jake: All right.

[Emotional music]

Steve: He looks like a little boy.

Ava: I wouldn’t know.

[Sniffles] I wasn’t allowed to know him till– so many lost years. So much wasted time.

Steve: [Sighs] Think about the time we did have with him. Okay?

Ava: [Sniffles]

Steve: He loved you, ava.

Ava: [Laughs weakly] That was a damn stupid thing to do.

[Sniffles] I’m poison, and he should have just run away.

Steve: Oh, come on. Come on. No.

Ava: I didn’t deserve a son like him.

[Sniffles] He sure as hell didn’t deserve a mother like me.

Steve: That’s not gonna help.

Ava: [Laughs weakly] Maybe I don’t deserve to be helped.

Steve: Ava, come on. Come on.

Ava: [Sniffles]

[Sniffs]

[Whimpers]

[Sniffles]

[Sobs]

Jake: Ava…

Ava: [Sobs] He’s gone. My baby is gone.

Jake: [Sighs] I’m sorry.

Ava: [Sobs]

Jake: I’m so sorry.

From prom dresses

Johnny: So he died saving allie.

Marlena: “No greater love.”

Johnny: I don’t know how we’re gonna tell her.

Allie: Tell me what?

Lucas: Allie. Allie, it’s me. It’s dad, open up.

Allie: Dad!

[Melancholy music]

Ava: [Sniffles]

Jake: Hey, how about I get you home?

Ava: [Sniffling]

[Moans]

[Weeping]

Jake: I’m so sorry.

Steve: Okay. Okay.

Ava: [Sniffles]

Steve: [Gasps]

[Weeping] Why him? Oh, why? My boy.

[Sniffles] Oh, no.

[Weeping]

[Moans]

[Door closes]

[Sniffles]

Kayla: I–I called stephanie and joe. I didn’t want them to hear it from anybody else.

Steve: My sweetness.

Kayla: Come here, come here, come here.

Steve: [Weeping]

Kayla: Come here, oh. Oh, I know. I’m so sorry.

Steve: I want my boy.

Kayla: I know, I’m sorry.

Steve: [Sobbing]

Kayla: I’m so sorry.

Steve: I want my boy.

[Chimes tinkle]

[Ethereal music]

Steve: [Sobbing]

Tripp: [Gasps] Allie.

Kayla: Oh, my god. Oh, my god. He didn’t have a heartbeat or a pulse.

Steve: Tripp? It’s dad. Hey.

Tripp: Dad.

Steve: Huh? Hey, kid. Hello, buddy. Buddy? Oh, my god.

Ava: [Sniffles]

John: I’m sorry, ava.

Ava: [Weeping]

Jake: I’m gonna get her home.

John: Yeah. Hey, um, anything you–you need, just–just call, okay?

Jake: Thanks, man.

[Elevator dings]

Steve: Ava…wait.

Ava: [Sobs]

Steve: Hey. I was on an antidepressant,

[Monitor beeping]

Ava: It’s true.

Kayla: It’s true. He’s alive.

Tripp: Hey, mom.

Ava: [Sniffs]

[Whispering] My son.

[Tender music]

[Baby hiccupping]

Ben: Babe, you’re not gonna believe this.

[Sighs] Kayla pronounced tripp dead. Then he came back to life.

Ciara: Wow. I believe it. Remember when my dad said that he had something left to do?

Ben: [Exhales]

Ciara: Baby, are you crying?

Ben: [Sighs] Ciara, if he died? Allie, his parents–

[Sighs] It would have killed them.

Ciara: I know.

Ben: I just–I just– I want everybody to just be as happier as we are right now.

Ciara: [Scoffs lightly] You know what?

[Sniffs] I don’t think that anybody can be as happy as we are right now.

[Sniffs]

Ben: [Sighs]

Roman: Thank you, kayla.

[Sighs]

Kate: Well?

Roman: It was close. Kayla thought they’d lost him. But, uh, it does look like, uh, tripp is gonna be just fine.

Eric: Oh, thank god.

Lucas: I’m just so sorry. I should have been here for you.

Allie: No, there’s nothing that you could have done. There’s nothing that anyone could have done. Except tripp. Did you hear about him?

Johnny: Yeah. Uh, yeah, we did.

Allie: [Sniffs] Did he die? Did he die because of me?

Lucas: No, honey, don’t say that. Don’t do that to yourself. Stop, stop.

Allie: Yes. Because I never got to tell him how I felt. I never got to tell him that I love him.

[Sniffles]

Lucas: I’m so sorry.

[Knock at door]

Allie: No, I can’T. I can’t see anyone.

Lucas: Yeah, of course you can’t, it’s not a good time.

Marlena: I’ll take care of it.

Allie: [Weeps]

John: Couldn’t get through. It’s–it’s okay. It’s okay. Allie… tripp…he pulled through. He is alive. And kayla thinks he’s gonna be just fine, honey.

Allie: Oh, my god.

John: He’s gonna be just fine.

Allie: Oh, thank god.

[Sighs]

[Monitor beeping]

Ava: You’re really here?

Tripp: How’s allie?

Kayla: She’s gonna be just fine. Thanks to you.

Steve: Our son the hero.

Ava: Mmm. Please don’t ever scare us like that again.

Brooke: Oh! This is– this is just so much.

Ridge: I know, it’s a lot. It’s a lot to take in. But steffy remembers that night very clearly now.

Brooke: I mean– it really was sheila? She… shot steffy? And she killed her own son?

Ridge: She confessed to all of it.

Brooke: Oh, my god, this is unbelievable.

Ridge: And she’s going to spend the rest of her days in prison. She’s not going to terrorize you anymore.,

[Heavy sigh]

[Crickets]

Taylor: I missed all the signs.

Steffy: Mom, as bad as sheila is, no one could have pictured her doing something like this.

Taylor: If people weren’t capable of change, I wouldn’t have a career. I see it all the time. I wanted so badly for hayes’ grandmother to have a chance at redemption. But sheila’s too dangerous for society, let alone this family.

Steffy: We have to tell li. We have to track her down. And we have to tell her that finn’s birth mother is the one who killed him.

Liam: Good timing! You guys showing up right now. Kids just went to sleep. Hope’s out, having a girls night.

Bill: Yeah, good for her! Having a little cabin fever, was she?

Liam: Okay. I got it. I got it. You don’t like our place. It’s fine.

Bill: No, no, no. It’s not that. You know, I– I find it, uh, quaint.M it’s, uh, it– it’s rustic.

Liam: You know what, it is rustic. Thank you. It is rustic. And that’s part of the charm.

Bill: Do I not pay you enough, liam?

Liam: Oh, my god.

Wyatt: Dad, come on. It’s their home. It’s cozy.

Liam: It’s– cozy is a bit condescending, but you know what? We like it, all right? The kids love it. H– hope really likes being near brooke, actually, especially lately. She’s, umm… she’s really concerned about her mom, ever since her separation from ridge.

Wyatt: So ridge is still staying out in malibu?

Liam: Yeah. I– I mean… on the one hand, it is nice for him to be staying out there with steffy while she recovers.

Bill: Yeah, it’s tough for brooke though, isn’t it? I mean her husband leaves her in the lurch, when she’s at her most vulnerable. I mean– her dressmaker should have been up there, consoling her.

Liam: Not exactly as cut and dry as you’re making it out to be…

Bill: I know. I know. Uh, “poor little ridge.” He got his fragile ego bruised. Brooke should have kicked him to the curb years ago.

Steffy: It all feels very surreal. Like if I look at the door long enough, finn will walk through it. Or if I like close my eyes hard enough, it’ll just be a bad dream and I’ll wake up, and my husband will be here.

Taylor: Oh, steffy. I wish that more than anything for you.

[ Sighing ]

Steffy: Finn’s death would be easier to accept if it was like– like a stranger or something. You know, some guy just– desperate for money.

[ Sighing heavily ] It’s like even more senseless now, knowing that sheila’s the one responsible.

Brooke: I can only imagine what steffy is going through.

Ridge: Well we’re all still in shock, but I guess, shouldn’t be too surprised, right?

Brooke: Right. Yeah, I guess not, given sheila’s history. But for her to target your daughter. And to take hayes’ father away.

Ridge: And she’ll be brought to justice, not just for killing finn, but for attacking us.

Brooke: I’m still trying to process what you said. She switched the labels on the champagne bottle.

Ridge: She conned you into drinking. This whole time it was sheila. It was always sheila. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Wyatt: So, for some reason, brooke decided to have a few drinks and kiss deacon.

Bill: And that’s what sent ridge packing.

Wyatt: I mean, I guess I could kind of see it.

Bill: For a kiss? Really, wyatt? You would leave your wife over one drunken kiss?

Liam: Dad, it’s not just the kiss. It’s the entire history of brooke and deacon.

Bill: Well, they have a kid together. Big deal. Alright? Brooke had a setback. It happens. She handled it appropriately. She called her sponsor. She got help. She’s been going to meetings. Was that good enough for ridge? No.

Liam: I know, but–

Bill: He dumped her anyway.

Liam: Ridge was upset ’cause brooke looked like she was making excuses for deacon. And that would piss you off too, if you were with brooke. Look, I’m not– I’m not defending ridge. I– I agree with you. I think everything you’re saying is true. And so would hope, even.

Bill: What hope’s parents did was g-rated. And ridge is a big boy. Did he show any sympathy for his alcoholic wife? No. He did what he always does. Went crying to taylor.

Taylor: How are you doing? This is, by far, the hardest on you.

Steffy: I don’t think it’ll ever make sense to me.

Taylor: I know. It’s tragic, I– I can’t believe it happened.

Steffy: I can’t even remember what I said to him when I saw him last. Before he was– I can’t even remember if I told him I loved him.

Taylor: Hey, hey, hey. Steffy, finn knew how much you loved him. He told us every day how happy he was. And that’s all because of you.

Steffy: But if I could have more time with him. If I could have one more day with my husband. Oh, just watching him take his last breath, it was horrible.

Taylor: Oh honey. You know, I bet it was a comfort to finn, knowing that you were there with him in the final moments. Right by his side.

Steffy: No. It’s so unfair, mom. I mean, he’s the kindest– he was the most loving human being. It just hurts.

Taylor: I know it does.

Steffy: Oh, god. How are you doing? I mean, this– ah, this has to be hard for you too, in a different way, with– with dad.

Taylor: Oh.

Steffy: Knowing that sheila got brooke to drink. I mean, you have to be worried what this means for you and dad.

Brooke: I can’t think of myself right now. Not after what steffy’s been put through.

Ridge: Well, she’s trying to be strong, but– she has a lot of healing still ahead of her. But thank you. For thinking about my daughter.

Brooke: Of course, I’m thinking about her, ridge. She lost her husband. And not because of some random act of violence. It was at the hands of sheila.

Ridge: It’s unfathomable, all of it. Not– not just that she’s the shooter, but… but that she’s responsible for the shame you’ve been drowning in.

Brooke: I kept asking myself, why? Why would I do that? Why would I break my sobriety like that? Or risk the life that we built together?

Ridge: You said from the very beginning there’s outside forces at play.

Brooke: Yes.

Ridge: But I– didn’t pay attention.

Brooke: I felt it. In the pit of my stomach. I couldn’t shake it. No matter what.

Ridge: Because you were right. It wasn’t you. It was sheila.

[ Exhaling ] You love rich, delicious ice cream.

Liam: And that’s pretty much the gist of it. Brooke’s been sober ever since that one little slip up. And she’s just trying to remain optimistic that ridge will come around.

Wyatt: I mean, that’s rough. Look, I wish her all the best.

Bill: Why would brooke possibly take back mister holier-than-thou after the way that he has repeatedly treated her?

Wyatt: Because it sounds like they both made mistakes, dad.

Bill: Brooke was under the influence, wyatt. It’s not the same thing. She– she never would’ve kissed that convict, sharpe, if she were sober.

Liam: I mean, that’s true. Alcohol definitely played a role that night.

Bill: Yeah, well, you see that, and I see that. But forrester’s blinded by his own self-righteousness.

Liam: Yeah, I– I mean, all we can do is hope that it works out somehow.

Bill: It’s not going to work out somehow. It’s not going to work out at all. Not as long as he’s playing ping pong with brooke and taylor. Well, like– like he’s special. Like, he’s what? God’s gift to women.

Wyatt: Oh, no, that’s you, dad. Everybody knows that.

Bill: The truth will set you free, right?

Liam: Alright. Okay, look, look, it’s– it’s bad that brooke is hurting. It’s bad that it’s taking a toll on hope. We can all agree on that. We just want them to be happy, right?

Wyatt: Yes.

>>Liam: Right? Right?

Bill: It’s gonna be hard for brooke to accept, but she’s not going to find happiness. Brooke is not going to find commitment. She’s not going to find anything with forrester. Especially now that taylor is back in town.

Taylor: Please don’t worry about me right now.

Steffy: Mom, you’re going through it, too.

Taylor: Oh! Not like you are, steffy. Especially after what you just remembered.

Steffy: Yeah. What I’m dealing with right now, it’s going to take a long time to process. It’s not– it’s not something I will ever get over. Hayes will have no memory of his father.

Taylor: But finn will live on in the stories you tell. It’s not the same.

Steffy: Not even close. But it’s been really healing, having you and dad here. It’s wonderful for the kids and– I know it’s been nice for you too.

Taylor: Well, no matter what, your father will always be fully engaged in your lives.

Steffy: Of course he will. I wasn’t questioning that. My dad’s over at brooke’s right now explaining what sheila did to her. You’re not wrong or selfish to be concerned about your future with dad. You don’t have to worry. Because the truth about sheila, it won’t change his feelings for you.

Ridge: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to overwhelm you, I thought you’d want to know.

Brooke: No, no, I’m just– I’m trying to piece it all together.

Ridge: Well. Sheila must overheard you when you were talking about this… non-alcoholic champagne. That champagne that eric had at christmas. I preordered some from il giardino.

Ridge: Right. And she switched the labels.

Brooke: Right. So I was drinking real champagne.

Ridge: And that was your trigger.

Brooke: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. You know what? That would explain everything. The taste. What it did to me physically. How I craved it, more and more.

Ridge: The missing piece.

Brooke: As as– much as i despise her, I really didn’t think she had a hand in this.

Ridge: I didn’t either.

Brooke: I– I’m just trying to figure it all out. I– I barely had any contact with her. Except she did come over here after it happened. And she had this wicked, wicked smile on her face. After I told her that I drank and deacon stayed here.

Ridge: Deacon. Well, she tried to justify what she did by saying that you tried to keep her away from finn and the baby.

Brooke: Oh, god. She is sick. And she is twisted. If– if we could have just kept her away somehow.

Ridge: Finn would still be alive. And we wouldn’t be where we are now.

Brooke: Yeah, you’re right. Things would be very different. Finn we would be at the hospital, saving lives. And steffy’s beautiful family would be in tact. And you and I, we would be together. We would be living here in our home. A lot of folks ask me why their dishwasher

Steffy: I’ve seen firsthand what you two mean to each other.

Taylor: Yes. Well, your father and I have a great relationship. We are committed to our family, helping you thrive.

Steffy: It’s more than that.

Taylor: Well, sure. I mean, this has been great for ridge and me. We love spending time together. With you, and thomas, and our grandkids.

Steffy: Your relationship is not just about us. There’s a mutual attraction there, like– a chemistry that has nothing to do with me and thomas.

Taylor: Well, we do enjoy each other’s company. You know, I– I missed laughing with him. I didn’t realize how much.

Steffy: Same goes for dad. It’s really nice watching the two of you together. It’s been great since you’ve come back to L.A. You have the little looks that you give each other across the room, having coffee on the deck. You know that he wakes up, like, 20 minutes earlier just to… make you coffee.

Taylor: I know, I know. It’s so sweet.

Steffy: You’re meant to be together. And I’m not just saying that because I’m your daughter.

Taylor: The daughter who would love nothing more than to plan another wedding for her parents.

Steffy: Everyone can see how connected you guys are.

Taylor: Well, sure sweetheart, but–

Steffy: I mean it.It’s true.

[ Sighing heavily ]

Taylor: You know, I– I don’t doubt ridge’s feelings for me. I don’t, but– facts are, that he– he is still married to brooke. There’s no divorce papers. And right now, he’s over there telling her that sheila tricked her into drinking. His heart must go out to her. I– I know mine is. She was also a victim of sheila’S. What this means for her and your father, or your father and me… only ridge can answer that.

Brooke: I appreciate you coming here, to give me the news about sheila.

Ridge: Well you had to know.

Brooke: You have so much on your plate, ridge. This tragedy affects the whole family. Especially steffy, and that sweet little boy.

Ridge: Who does that? What kind of a person does that? And not just to finn, poor finn and steffy, but– to you. To us.

Brooke: Sheila made it crystal clear that she wanted you to be with taylor.

Ridge: And I should have suspected that there was somebody behind all this.

Brooke: Ridge, don’t blame yourself. I mean, there’s no way you could have predicted she would have done something like that. But now we know. We have answers.

Ridge: What, what, but what? I know you better than that. I’ve known you all my life. How do you– I should have known better. I should have listened to you, but I didn’T. I should have known that somebody was victimizing you. I didn’t know it was sheila, but I knew it was somebody. And I wasn’t there for you. Your husband wasn’t there for you.

Brooke: You just didn’t know. I mean, I– I know we can’t forget everything that sheila’s done. But we can at least stop her lies and her manipulations. We can restore our life together. I always had faith that we could. That we’d be able to get past this. So is that why you’re here? You’re coming home to me?

Update written by Joseph

Jake and Ava sit in the town square together, talking about it being cold out in May. Jake gives Ava his jacket and notes Ava’s bad mood. Ava complains about Jake going back to work at DiMera as she thought he was done with them and especially Gabi. Ava guesses despite all the petty things she’s done, Gabi still has her hooks in Jake. Jake disagrees and says that Gabi presented a very good argument for him to go back to DiMera. Jake calls it his birthright to be a part of DiMera, just like Chad and EJ, so he never should’ve let them chase him out of the company in the first place. Jake adds that Gabi seems to think he can help her stabilize the company. Ava comments that it also helps Gabi keep him in her orbit. Ava says there will be business dinners and trips. Jake assures that he and Gabi are done. Ava questions if their relationship is just platonic then like theirs.

Steve joins Kayla at the hospital and says he was at the police station, asking about Allie, but nobody is talking. Steve asks about the baby. Kayla says he’s perfect which Steve says is finally some good news. Steve asks about Ciara. Kayla says she’s fine and that she and Ben are over the moon. Kayla reveals to Steve that Ben and Ciara named the baby Bo, which Steve calls perfect.

At the Brady Pub, Kate calls Lucas and leaves another message, reminding him that she gave him 24 hours and she’s heard nothing from him. Kate adds that everyone is looking for he and Sami, wondering where they are and Allie is in trouble and needs them. Kate knows she promised to keep what Lucas did to Sami a secret, but warns that she is going to have to tell Roman. Roman then appears and asks what she will have to tell him.

Ciara asks Ben if she’s seeing things as she envisions her dad, Bo. Ben responds that if she is, then he is too. Angel Bo speaks as Ciara asks if it’s really him and he came back. Bo says it’s him but he’s not really in the flesh. Ciara guesses he was the presence at the cemetery which Bo confirms. Ciara cries that he saved her son’s life. Ciara tells her baby that this is her granddad. Ciara tells Bo that she named her son Bo. Bo thanks her for that.

Eric asks if Tripp can hear him. The Devil responds that was surprisingly easy as Tripp didn’t even put up a fight, but it seems as if his sacrifice was for nothing because Allie is still going to die and by Tripp’s own hands. Devil Tripp goes to choke Allie on the ground. Marlena screams while Tripp’s voice inside says he won’t let the Devil hurt her. John tries to stop Devil Tripp and says to let him help. Tripp suddenly pulls back and says there is no help. Tripp then runs and dives through the second story window as Marlena screams. Eric and John rush to the window and look out to see Tripp lying bloody in a pile of glass on the ground outside. John says this is bad as he and Eric rush downstairs to get down there. Allie regains consciousness. Johnny tells her that everything is fine. Allie questions where they are and what’s going on. Marlena says they will explain and asks how she feels. Allie says she had awful dreams and there was a baby. Johnny tells her that was Ciara’s baby but he is fine now. Allie questions what she did. Johnny tells Marlena that Allie needs to know, like he did. Johnny then reveals to Allie that she was possessed. Allie says no that was Johnny. Johnny says he was but then The Devil went from him in to her and she fought him so hard. Allie mentions hearing Tripp’s voice just now so she knows he was there and asks where he is.

John and Eric rush to Tripp’s body outside. Eric asks if he can hear him. Tripp asks if Allie is okay. John confirms that she’s fine and he saved her. Tripp asks about the Devil. Eric says he’s gone thanks to him. Tripp brings up the Devil trying to hurt Allie. Tripp starts to pass out. John encourages Tripp to hang in there while Eric calls for an ambulance.

Eric goes back inside the church and informs Marlena that John is getting Tripp in to the ambulance. Allie questions what he’s talking about and where Tripp is because she knows he was there. Allie demands to know what happened to Tripp.

Ciara cries that she never thought she’d see her father again. Bo responds that he’s been watching over her, her mom, her brother, and now her son all along. Ciara worries that The Devil is still out there but Bo assures that the Devil is gone and not coming back so they are safe. Ciara asks how he can be sure. Bo states that it’s because one good man sacrificed everything to get rid of the Devil.

Steve tells Kayla that he sees a lot of Bo in Ciara. Kayla says she does as well all the time and now Ciara is so fierce about her baby just like her dad was. Steve asks Kayla to call their kids to inform them that they have a new cousin. John arrives and informs them that Tripp had an accident which Steve questions. John reveals that he took a fall and it’s not good as he’s in the ER. Kayla instructs Steve to call Ava while she rushes to the emergency room.

Jake jokes about Ava not liking Gabi. Jake brings up Ava mentioning their relationship is platonic and asks if she doesn’t like that very much. Ava suggests she’s in a bad mood because Gabi interrupted them. Jake admits they aren’t having much fun here so maybe they should head home. Ava agrees but then she gets a phone call from Steve. Steve informs Ava that Tripp is in the hospital after there’s been an accident, so she needs to get down there right away. Ava says she’ll be right there and hangs up. Jake asks if everything is okay. Ava informs him that she has to get to Tripp, so they rush off.

Roman guesses whatever Kate has to tell him must be real bad if she’d rather set the table than talk to him. Kate says she’s just trying to figure out how to tell him. Kate knows Roman is worried about Sami and she is too. Lucas then surprisingly enters the Pub and asks if it’s because of him. Kate hugs him and questions where the hell he was and why he didn’t answer her phone calls. Lucas says before he gets to that, he wants to know how Allie is doing and where she is. Roman says they are sorry but they don’t know.

Allie questions if she hurt Tripp while possessed. Eric promises she did not. Johnny encourages that she fought The Devil. Eric notes that she’s in rough shape, so they need to get her home. Allie wants to see Tripp. Eric says the doctors are going to take care of Tripp while they take care of her and she needs to take care of her son, Henry. Allie asks about Ciara’s baby. Johnny says they didn’t know where Ciara was until Allie told them, so because of that, the baby is with his mom and dad now. Johnny, Marlena, and Eric then take Allie to get her home.

Ciara questions what Bo means by someone sacrificed everything. Bo says she will find out soon enough. Bo encourages that they have a whole lot of Bradys and Hortons watching over them and even a Weston or two. Bo acknowledges Ben’s worries about having a baby but encourages him to let it go because it’s all about redemption and Ben has redeemed himself. Bo calls Ben a good man and an okay husband, so if he works real hard, he’ll be a great dad. Ben thanks him. Bo tells Ciara that he loves her but he has to go as there is something he has to take care of. Bo says to tell Hope that he loves her and that he’s really proud of Ciara. Ciara tries to stop him but Bo disappears back in to the light. Ciara tells Ben that she always wanted him to meet her dad as they hug.

Ava and Jake arrive at the hospital. Ava goes to John to ask where Tripp is. John tells her that he was taken straight to the ER and Steve is down there with him so Ava rushes off. Jake asks John if Tripp is going to be okay. John responds that he doesn’t know.

Ava joins Steve in the emergency room as Kayla and the doctors are trying to revive Tripp. Ava asks what happened. Ava then questions why Kayla is stopping and tells her to do it again. Kayla turns and cries that she’s sorry. Steve breaks down crying as Ava continues questioning everything. Kayla announces it’s too late as Tripp is gone. Ava cries in shock that he can’t be gone.

Roman questions why Lucas is just now telling him that Sami is in the hospital. Lucas explains that they were skiing in Italy, Sami wiped out and broke her leg. Lucas says it’s bad and there’s no way Sami could fly right now. Kate questions why he didn’t call. Lucas says the reception was terrible but they did get Kate’s message about Allie, so as soon as they heard that, Sami told him to come home. Roman questions him just leaving Sami there. Lucas argues that she’ll be fine in the hands of trained professionals. Roman decides he needs to go let Marlena know and walks away. Kate questions Lucas as to what the real story is. Lucas says he just told her and asks why he would lie about that. Kate points out that Lucas lied about kidnapping Sami so why not this time.

Ben tells Ciara that now more than ever, he is so glad they named their baby after her dad. Ciara cries that it was Bo at the cemetery and he’s the reason that she was able to step in to the pentagram. Ben agrees that Bo is why they are with their son now. Jake enters and says he heard the good news, but he sees they are crying so he says he’ll come back. Ciara assures it’s fine and calls Jake over to meet Bo. Jake says he’s beautiful and makes sure they are all okay. Ciara calls it a crazy night. Jake looks away, so Ben asks what it is. Jake wishes he didn’t have to tell them this, but Ava got a call about half an hour ago that Tripp was in an accident, though John made it sound like it was more of a sacrifice. Ciara turns to Ben and mentions Bo saying something about a sacrifice. Ciara then asks Jake if Tripp is dead.

Ava pleads with Kayla to do something. Kayla says she’s sorry but there is nothing else that can be done. Ava argues that Kayla’s not sorry and asks if she’s happy now that she got everything she wanted. Ava accuses Kayla of hating that she and Steve had a son, so she killed him. Steve cries for Ava to stop it as their son is dead and Kayla did everything she could, but he’s gone, so she has to stop this out of respect for Tripp. Kayla decides they will leave them alone and exits with the doctors. Ava states that their son is dead and breaks down crying as Steve hugs her.

John sees Kayla come out from the ER and that she’s crying. Kayla reveals to John that she lost him after doing everything she could. John hugs Kayla as she cries.

Johnny and Marlena bring Allie home. Johnny asks if Marlena thinks Tripp is going to make it. Allie comes back in from checking on Henry and says she doesn’t remember the last time she saw him. Marlena assures that he’s been fine and they have all been looking after him. Allie thanks her but says now they need to tell her what she did. Marlena suggests she rest first but Allie insists that she needs to know. Allie asks how the Devil went from Johnny to her. Johnny reminds Allie that she came to the DiMera Mansion to tell him off for telling Tripp about her and Chanel, but that wasn’t him, it was The Devil. Johnny encourages that Allie figured it out and was helping him fight, but then he went in to her. Johnny says he was so worried about her and he missed her. Allie doesn’t remember much but says she missed him too and hugs him.

Lucas asks if Kate thinks he kidnapped Sami. Kate remarks that it wouldn’t be the first time. Roman comes back and says he left a message for Marlena even though she has enough to worry about with Allie. Lucas questions what’s been going on with Allie since they just said she was in trouble. Kate reveals that Allie is possessed by The Devil, shocking Lucas. Eric arrives and announces that she’s not anymore as Tripp saved Allie’s life, but now he’s in the hospital. Eric explains that Allie’s life was at stake as the Devil had control of her, so Tripp called The Devil in to him and then when he had control of Tripp, he tried to kill Allie but Tripp threw himself out the church tower window. Lucas asks if Allie is at the hospital too. Eric informs him that Johnny and Marlena took her home to see Henry. Lucas decides he has to get to her and rushes out of the Pub.

Marlena suggests Allie get some rest. Johnny agrees. Allie says that she’s home and thanks them. Allie hugs them both and then goes to her room. Johnny tells Marlena that if Tripp doesn’t make it, he doesn’t know what that will do to Allie. Marlena then gets a call from John, informing her that it’s bad news.

Jake questions Ciara about her father being here. Ciara says he was at the cemetery and was here just now. Ben brings up John saying that Tripp was trying to save Allie. Jake confirms that Tripp got the Devil to leave Allie and go in to him, but then he jumped out the window. Jake adds that Allie is now fine. Ciara talks about it being terrifying at the cabin and the cemetery. Ben hopes the rest of their son’s life is calmer than the beginning as he’s so glad he is okay. Jake congratulates them and says he’s happy for them. Jake decides to go check on Tripp and exits the room.

John finishes his call and tells Kayla that Marlena sends her love. Jake comes out and guesses that it’s bad. John reveals that Tripp died a few minutes ago. Jake asks where Ava is. Kayla says she’s and Steve are with Tripp in the trauma room. Jake then walks away.

Steve and Ava cry over Tripp’s body. Ava laments not being allowed to know him until after so many lost years and wasted time. Steve encourages her to think of the time they did have with him and that Tripp loved her. Ava cries that she didn’t deserve a son like him and he didn’t deserve a mother like her. Steve says that won’t help. Ava feels maybe she doesn’t deserve to be helped. Ava lays next to Tripp’s body and kisses him goodbye as Steve cries. Jake then enters the room to comfort Ava as she cries that her baby is gone.

Marlena breaks the news to Johnny that Tripp died saving Allie and calls it no greater love. Johnny doesn’t know how they are going to tell her as Allie comes back out from her room and asks what it is. Lucas then shows up at the door. Allie excitedly rushes up to hug him.

Jake offers to take Ava home and hugs her as she cries. Jake tells Steve that he’s so sorry. Jake then walks Ava out of the room. Steve breaks down crying over Tripp, asking why. Kayla returns to the room and informs Steve that she called their kids, Stephanie and Joey, so they wouldn’t hear it from anyone else. Kayla hugs Steve as he cries that he wants his boy. Bo appears in the room as an angel and touches Tripp. Tripp then suddenly comes back to life, shocking Kayla and Steve. Kayla points out that he didn’t have a heartbeat or a pulse. Steve calls out to Tripp. Steve then looks up at the bright light and sees Bo, who smiles and nods, before disappearing again. Tripp then calls out to Steve as they rejoice.

John sees Jake and Ava leaving the hospital. John goes over and tells Ava that he’s sorry and to call if she needs anything. Jake thanks him and they go to get on the elevator but Steve appears and tells Ava to wait.

Steve brings Ava back to the emergency room where Kayla has Tripp sitting up in his hospital bed. Ava can’t believe it’s true. Kayla confirms that he’s alive as Tripp then greets Ava. Ava hugs Tripp as Steve and Kayla look on with smiles.

Ben comes back to the hospital room with Ciara and informs her that she’s not going to believe this but Kayla pronounced Tripp dead, but then he kept back to life. Ciara responds that she does believe it because Bo said he had something left to do. Ben says that if Tripp died, it would’ve killed Allie, Steve, and Ava. Ben just wants everybody to be as happy as they are now. Ciara doesn’t think anybody could be as happy as they are now as they kiss.

Roman finishes a call with Kayla and announces to Kate and Eric that it was close and Kayla thought they lost Tripp, but it looks like he’s going to be just fine.

Lucas apologizes to Allie for not being there for her. Allie says there is nothing he or anyone could have done, except Tripp. Allie asks if they heard about him. Johnny confirms that they did. Allie asks if Tripp died because of her. Lucas tells her not to do that. Allie cries that she never got to tell Tripp how she felt and that she loves him. There’s a knock at the door but Allie says she can’t see anyone. Marlena answers the door and it’s John. John comes in to announce that Tripp pulled through, he’s alive and Kayla thinks he’s going to be just fine. Allie is thrilled and hugs John as she cries.

Tripp asks about Allie. Kayla assures that she will be just fine, thanks to him. Steve calls Tripp a hero. Ava asks him to never scare them like that again. Tripp says he won’t and he loves them. Steve says they love him.

Faith: Thank you.

Sharon: And one mimosa for the absolutely beautiful bride.

Mariah: Oh, thank you. This is exactly what I need.

Sharon: Mm-hmm.

Faith: I know that everyone will be toasting you all night, so allow me to be the first.

Mariah: By all means. Go ahead.

Faith: Okay, staying on schedule. Should I call kevin so he can come over and get ready with the rest of us? I mean, he is your man-of-honor.

Crystal: I’d love to see it.

Tessa: Me too.

Crystal: Hmm?

Tessa: I don’t actually have the dress in my possession right now, but I will.

Crystal: When?

Tessa: Uh, yeah, it’s gonna be plenty of time.

Crystal: Oh. Okay.

Tessa: Uh…yeah, the designer’s gonna drop it off any minute.

Noah: Okay, seriously, give me your honest opinion and please do not be afraid to hurt my feelings.

Nick: I mean, artists — you’re so needy.

Noah: Dad —

Nick: What is it you have to hear?

Noah: I am a bottomless pit of need when it comes to praise, okay? I think it has something to do with the way I was raised. Maybe not enough attention when I was a kid or something.

Nick: Okay. What you did at the top of the tower — transcendent.

Noah: Okay, smart guy. Yeah.

Nick: Hey, you asked, so I’m telling you. I’m actually extremely proud of you. It’s awesome. I also know what an incredible thing it is you’re doing for your sister and the woman she’s planning to marry, because i know how you still feel about tessa.

Noah: [ Sighs ]

Jack: Hey, there. Nice threads, kyle.

Kyle: Ooh, that’s “reverend kyle” to you. You are looking at a freshly licensed and ordained minister.

Jack: Well, cufflinks — here.

Kyle: Want to help?

Jack: So what’s the first order of business?

Kyle: Well, first and probably last, I will be officiating mariah and tessa’s wedding later.

Jack: That is fantastic. Congratulations to all of you. I’m sure mariah is thrilled. She’s a good friend.

Kyle: Yeah, the best. I’m glad she talked me into this.

Jack: Look, for what it’s worth, I understand your initial decision to skip the wedding ’cause of all you’re dealing with with your mother.

Kyle: Hey, the secret to today is compartmentalization. I’m taking all of my conflicting emotions about my mother and her place in my life, and I am putting them in a little box until I finish my job officiating this wedding.

Jack: Great idea, mister.

Kyle: And it’s not just mariah and tessa having a big day. If it weren’t for me setting up their first date, they might not even be together.

Jack: Your modesty is astounding.

Kyle: It’s a good feeling.

Jack: I’ll bet it is.

Kyle: Oh, and I have some more good news. Summer convinced her people at marchetti they can survive some time without her.

Jack: Wait, summer is coming home?

Kyle: She’ll be touching down soon.

Jack: Oh, that is wonderful. I am so happy for you. I know how much you’ve missed her, dealing with all these complicated issues with your mother.

Kyle: Hey.

Jack: Not today, though.

Kyle: Today is about mariah and tessa.

Jack: Who knows? Maybe diane is already on her way back to los angeles.

Diane: Oh. Are you this attentive to all your guests?

Phyllis: I have a better question for you. What are you still doing here? I mean, I love watching a train wreck, but this is excruciating, even for me.

Diane: Well, I’m so sorry to be such a distraction. By all means, avert your eyes.

Phyllis: I mean, I know how the abbotts reacted to you being in town, but I got to think that the newmans want you dead and buried again, permanently this time.

Diane: I do still have a son in town.

Phyllis: Diane, if you’re waiting for him to forgive you, you’re be gonna waiting a really long time.

Diane: Well, I refuse to give up hope, and I’m aware that it will take time to prove that I’ve changed.

Phyllis: Try forever.

Diane: Alright, if that’s what it takes. I want to make amends. I want to be part of kyle’s life. I’ve changed. And jack is beginning to see that, too. I do believe I’m winning him over to my side.

Phyllis: [ Exhales sharply ] You stay the hell away from jack. After years on the battlefield

Sharon: Your something old to hold while you walk down the aisle. Not long after I found out that you were my daughter, I gave you a garnet necklace. And this bracelet is the companion piece to that. It belonged to cassie. But today, it’s yours to take with you as you’re walking into the next phase of your life.

Mariah: Oh, mom.

Faith: No crying or we have to re-do that incredible makeup.

Mariah: Got it.

Sharon: Here, let me.

Mariah: I’ve been thinking about cassie so much the last few days.

Sharon: Me too. It’s like she’s right here with us. You know, if there was one thing in this world that cassie loved, it was a wedding.

Faith: Yeah?

Sharon: [ Chuckles ] Mm-hmm.

Mariah: I will cherish this with all of my heart. Thank you so much.

Faith: Okay, moving on to something new. Inside you will find two toe rings, and those little numbers that are inscribed, that’s the latitude and the longitude of where you and tessa had your first date. One for each of you.

Sharon: That’s so great.

Mariah: So we can always find our way back to the beginning. Faith, I love it.

Sharon: Alright, something borrowed. But I get this one back.

Mariah: Of course.

Sharon: This handkerchief belonged to rey’s grandmother. And she carried it with her on her wedding day, and rey gave it to me on ours.

Mariah: Wow. It’s so beautiful. Like, the embroidery, it’s so intricate. I love it. You know, rey is the reason that crystal is here. That was his gift to us. He knew how much family meant to us, and that’s what he gave us. One more person to love and to witness our happiness.

[ Chuckles ]

Sharon: Okay, well, time for something blue.

Faith: Me again. This stone is kind of like you. Hear me out. It’s supposed to have all these healing and protective qualities, but I just like the way it feels in my hand. It calms me down when I start to get stressed out. I have carried it with me during some — let’s call them challenging times. When mom was sick, when I was in the hospital, even on my first date with moses.

Mariah: It’s beautiful.

Faith: I feel like it’s got some really good juju, you know? And maybe a little bit of magic.

Mariah: [ Sighs ] I never thought that I would be the girl that gets any of this, and, you know, look at me now. I’m somebody’s bride.

[ Laughs ]

Faith: No, not “somebody.” Tessa is the person that you were meant for, and she is meant for you.

Mariah: I am the luckiest girl in the world to have you both in my life.

[ Laughs ] Sharing this day with the both of you, it’s like a dream come true.

[ Chuckles ]

Noah: If you’re worried that I’m gonna stand up and object during the ceremony, don’t be. I have officially moved past my feelings for tessa.

Nick: Alright, I mean, you’re saying and doing all the right things, but deep down, you know, can you honestly say you’re completely over her?

Noah: Now that I’ve had some time and distance, I realize that the feelings I was having were more about my breakup back in london, and now I knew nothing was ever gonna happen with tessa, so it felt safe, if that makes sense.

Nick: Yeah, I get it. Look, you know, I’m sorry about what happened in london. But, son, love is rarely easy.

Noah: Well, damn, you couldn’t have told me that a couple years ago?

Nick: Well, that’s why when you have moments like this, you celebrate it, you know? When it’s found. And trust me, love is gonna happen for you, too.

Noah: Honestly, I am not looking for it. No, if it comes to me, that’s great, but for now, I am done feeling sorry for myself. Now, I came back home ’cause i felt like I needed to put an ocean between me and my ex, and it felt like I was sacrificing something in doing so, but, dad, I am happy. I am happy for the first time in a long time, so I’m just gonna sit back and enjoy my life.

Nick: Well, then you are a fully actualized, completely enlightened human being. My work is done here.

Noah: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: Now it’s off to my other children.

Noah: Yeah.

Nick: Seriously, though, I’m proud of you.

Noah: Finally. Finally! First time today, I didn’t have to beg someone for validation.

Nick: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Noah: So now that we have fully explored all of my heartache and scars…

Nick: Here we go.

Noah: This can’t be easy for you either, walking cassie’s twin down the aisle.

Nick: Um…[ Chuckles ] Honestly, there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about cassie. You know, what could’ve been.

[ Sighs ] What should’ve been. This wedding has brought up all those emotions.

Noah: Feeling all the feels?

Nick: Yeah. I’m trying to focus on the good ones, you know? ‘Cause I get to walk cassie’s sister down the aisle, and i know in my heart that she’s looking down and she’s very, very happy that her sister gets this incredible day.

Diane: Oh, my, that was extreme, even for you.

Phyllis: You want to win jack to your side? Nothing about you has changed. You’re still playing your games. You’re trying to worm yourself in to people’s lives, aren’t you?

Diane: No, no, no. It was the mention of jack that set you off, which makes me wonder about the state of your relationship. You know, at first, I thought you two were a couple again. But now I think I must’ve been mistaken, because after all the hurt and betrayal and trauma, i just can’t imagine there’s anything romantic left between the two of you.

Phyllis: I can’t imagine that you would think that you had a shot in hell with jack.

Diane: You neither confirmed nor denied.

Phyllis: What is your plan? What do you think you’re gonna obtain? Seriously, I shouldn’t be in shock because you faked your own death for so long. This should not surprise me at all.

Jack: Hello, ladies. Is there a problem? Entresto is the number one heart failure brand

Diane: It seems my mere presence is the problem.

Jack: I thought you decided to return to los angeles when you heard kyle was headed back to milan.

Diane: Yes, but his plans have changed, so I changed mine, just in case.

Jack: Don’t read too much into that decision. Kyle’s reason for delaying his trip has nothing to do with you. He has a commitment here in town.

Diane: Well, I’m not assuming anything. He has been in touch with me. He’s not shutting me out.

Jack: Not shutting you out is not the same as an open invitation to insinuate yourself into his life. Give him time and space to deal with all of that. It’s the least he deserves.

Phyllis: If we want to talk about what people deserve —

Jack: Diane, don’t let us keep you.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Crystal: I can’t believe my sister is now a famous singer-songwriter who gets her clothes straight from the designer.

Tessa: Oh, well, maybe famous-ish.

Crystal: Where we came from, nobody winds up famous. Infamous, maybe.

Tessa: I did get really lucky, didn’t I?

Crystal: And you’ve got talent. Went from busking for change to going on tour — I mean, your first album just dropped. I’m so proud of you, tessa. You did it. You made your dreams come true, and now you’re like this guitar-playing, morphing-butterfly goddess.

Tessa: Oh. I love you so much.

Crystal: Right back at you, sis.

Tessa: Oh.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Crystal: Oh, is that about your wedding dress?

Tessa: No, but it’s from mariah. She told me to look inside the weird little box behind the rattan chair.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Oh.

[ Gasps ] Aww. It’s full of hearts.

[ Laughs ]

Crystal: What does it say? Or is it too private, just between the brides?

Tessa: No, no, no. Okay. “You are the cheese to my macaroni.”

[ Laughs ] “You’re the sugar to my tea.” “You’re the wishes on my birthday cake.” “You’re the jelly to my doughnut.” And “you are the peas to my carrots.”

Crystal: [ Laughs ] You’re a couple of super-secret cheesy goofballs.

[ Both laugh ] But don’t worry, your secret’s safe with me.

Faith: Where’s my list? I need to make sure we’re still on schedule.

Sharon: You are doing such a great job.

Mariah: You know, between this and the killer engagement party that you threw me, I think that you could set up shop as an event planner.

Faith: You mean you think i could earn money from this?

Mariah: Yeah, a fortune.

Sharon: I’d pay you in hugs and kisses.

Faith: [ Chuckles ] Thanks, mom.

Sharon: [ Laughs ]

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Mariah: Oh.

Sharon: Everything okay?

Mariah: Yeah. Tessa says to go check the front pocket of my overnight bag. Okay. “You are the strings to my guitar. My always love.”

[ Chuckles ]

Who’s on it with jardiance?

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Crystal: We didn’t grow up with too much love around us, so this is good for my heart, seeing that it’s possible. Heck, maybe there’s someone out there for me.

Tessa: Yeah, of course there is. Mariah isn’t just my love. She’s my life. I don’t know where I would be without her. She refuses to let me self-destruct and she is willing to do everything for me. She would put anything on the line for me.

Crystal: Sign me up, girl. But first, let’s get you ready to marry that extraordinary woman.

Abby: The best cup of coffee in town.

Allie: Wow, this is cool.

Abby: Noah, hi.

Noah: Abby, it’s good to see you.

Abby: This is my nephew noah.

Allie: Nice to meet you.

Noah: You too.

Abby: Noah, this is allie, jack’s granddaughter. She’s the newest member of the abbott family — or new to us.

Noah: Well, abby should have explained I’m from the dark side of her family. The — the newmans?

Abby: Allie’s still learning who’s who here in genoa city.

Noah: Okay, so she didn’t warn you about us. Well, we newmans are genetically inclined to making awkward jokes. You should see my father. Anyway, you know, there’s actually an app now for you abbotts that warns you whenever a newman’s within 500 feet, so might want to look into that. Uh…

Allie: I’m sorry?

Noah: I, um — abby, do your job, come on.

Abby: Well, I am so sorry that I can’t help you with your sad sense of humor. What my nephew is trying to say and failing miserably at is that there is a history between the families. It’s been shakespearean at times.

Allie: Got it.

Noah: Yeah, that about covers it.

Abby: But noah is a visual artist. He communicates better with pictures, not his words.

Noah: Yeah, I am an acquired taste.

Allie: [ Chuckles ]

Chance: Hey. I’m sorry I’m cutting it close. I had a lot of work to do at the office. Hey, man. How you doing?

Noah: Good to see you.

Abby: Chance, I want you to meet allie. Allie, this is chance, my husband.

Allie: Hello.

Chance: Of course. Welcome to the family.

Allie: Thanks.

Abby: We need to drop allie off at the abbott house on our way home.

Chance: Okay.

Noah: I can take her. Door-to-door service, joke-free environment.

Allie: Oh, I’ll walk, but thank you.

Noah: Ouch.

Allie: [ Chuckles ] No, it’s — it’s not you. I want to get to know genoa city, soak it in a little bit.

Noah: Ah. Well, I will resist the urge to make a joke.

Abby: Bye.

Allie: I’ll see you guys.

Abby: Hi.

Chance: Hi.

[ Knock on door ]

Kyle: What are you doing here?

For your most brilliant smile,

crest has you covered.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Diane: I just came by to check on you.

Kyle: Why?

Diane: Well, since your plans to return to milan fell through, I was worried that maybe you were sick or something.

Kyle: You wanted to know if i stayed in town because of you. The answer is no.

Diane: Well, you certainly look handsome. I hope whatever’s keeping you here is something good.

Kyle: I’m going to my best friend’s wedding. I’m officiating.

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ] My son the minister.

Kyle: The online variety.

Diane: Well, I just love weddings. You’re going to have a wonderful time. You know, this is what I wanted for you — the life I dreamed you’d live once I stepped out of it. Friends, family, a community. I couldn’t be prouder.

Kyle: Well, I’m running late.

Diane: Oh, don’t let me keep you.

Phyllis: What is she up to? We need to find out.

Jack: I appreciate and understand your instinct. She is never going to be forthcoming.

Phyllis: Well, of course not. She’s not gonna admit anything. I have a very, very bad feeling, jack. We can’t let our guard down.

Jack: Phyllis, I know what this is really about.

Phyllis: You do?

Jack: Yes, because I know you, red. This is about what you think this is going to do to summer.

Phyllis: Yeah, yeah, it is about that.

Jack: I assume you’ve heard the latest there.

Phyllis: Yes, I heard that she — she’ll be at the wedding. I’m really excited.

Jack: Yeah, it’s great news. So let’s stop spending our energy worrying about what diane is going to do. Ms. Summers, would you do me the honor of accompanying me to what promises to be the greatest wedding of the year?

Phyllis: There is nothing i would like more than to accompany you to this wedding, mr. Abbott.

Tessa: And the pice de résistance.

Crystal: [ Gasps ] Wow. Oh. I look so badass.

[ Chuckles ]

Tessa: You were born in the wrong decade.

Crystal: This is too wild, right? Being here in genoa city, being able to go to your wedding.

Tessa: I know, right? Did I tell you that there were two separate proposals?

Crystal: [ Chuckles ]

Tessa: I proposed to her and then she proposed to me.

Crystal: Why am I not surprised?

Tessa: Well, I was so blissed out when she said yes, and then we started making plans and her family was so supportive and thrilled for us. I couldn’t help but think what it would be like at our wedding alone, with no parents and you — you couldn’t risk it.

Crystal: Rey rosales will always have a special place in our hearts.

Tessa: Forever and always, because having you here is just so incredible.

Crystal: I’m so happy to be here.

Tessa: [ Inhales sharply ]

Crystal: Okay, no crying. You’ll mess up your makeup, and you look so super-cool.

Tessa: [ Exhales sharply ] Okay, I’m fine. I’m fine.

Crystal: Don’t we need to leave?

Tessa: Uh, oh, oh, yes. Yes, we do, right this very minute. Um…okay, I still don’t have the dress, and I don’t want to freak out on the happiest day of my life, but I’m pretty close to freaking out.

[ Knock on door ] Okay, please, please, please, please, please.

[ Gasps ]

Kevin: Ta-da!

Tessa: Oh, thank you, thank you.

Chloe: What? You weren’t worried, were you?

Tessa: [ Exhales sharply ]

Nick: What do you think of the threads? Papa’s a real cool cat. Can you dig?

Faith: [ Sighs ] You’re such a dork, dad.

Nick: More like dy-no-mite. Ready to dance all night. Give me five. Too slow. Too slow. What are you looking at? You giving me the hairy eyeball?

Moses: What?

Faith: Dad, if you’re gonna keep using ancient phrases, hand out a glossary.

Nick: Still haven’t gotten the word from the kid. Moses. What do you think?

Moses: “Sound as a pound.”

Nick: I love it.

Sharon: And that’s good?

Moses: According to this ’70s phrases website I just checked out.

Sharon: Mm. And what do you think about the mother of the bride?

Nick: Super groovy.

Faith: Ugh, never gonna run out of ’70s talk. What’s the ’70s word for gorgeous?

Moses: You look so beautiful. I can’t wait to see how you’re gonna top this for prom.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Faith: Oh, my god, the schedule. Hey, listen up, that was the two-minute warning before we have to get out of here.

Sharon: Oh, there she is.

Nick: Oh, yeah.

Sharon: Yay! Do you have everything you need?

Mariah: I think so. I have the love of my family and I have someone to love me for the rest of my life, so I think I’m good.

Faith: Breathe in. Good?

Mariah: Mm.

[ Exhales ] Out of this world.

Faith: Then let’s do this!

Nick: Let’s go!

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Nick: You look beautiful. Let’s get you hitched.

Mariah: Thank you. Like pulsing, electric shocks,

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Devon: Man.

Amanda: Well, this place looks —

Devon: Outta sight!

[ Laughter ]

Nate: What it is, my brother.

Devon: How you doing?

Amanda: Man, I am really digging this ’70s vibe.

Devon: Yeah, noah really knew what he was doing.

Elena: Yeah, someone understood the assignment. Look at this place.

Nate: Mm.

Devon: I think every wedding should be a theme.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Noah: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: Look who it is.

Nate: Oh!

Devon: Hey, now, alright. Ready to dance, I see.

[ Laughter ]

Elena: Faith, I love your dress.

Faith: Thank you.

Devon: You guys are looking great. We’ll see you on the dance floor.

Moses: Yeah. Have fun, guys.

Devon: You too.

Faith: [ Sighs ] I hope my brides are okay.

Moses: Oh, they’re fine. And remember, if there’s anything that goes wrong, you have me as back-up.

Faith: You’re the best.

Sharon: Our very talented son put all of this together. We have a lot to be proud of today.

Nick: Mm-hmm.

Abby: I cannot believe that my nephew put all this together out of nothing.

Sharon: He did a fantastic job.

Kevin: Maybe we can get him to leave it up for a few days. This seems like an amazing place to have some after-school play-dates.

Abby: Oh, yes, I love that idea. I think mariah and tessa would, too.

Kevin: They are an amazing couple.

Abby: Yeah.

Kevin: And that is one proud dad right there.

Sharon: [ Chuckles ]

Abby: He’s the best.

Sharon: Oh, um…excuse me for a moment. Crystal. It’s sharon.

Crystal: Oh, my god, it’s so great to see you again.

Sharon: You too.

Crystal: I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I said I wouldn’t do this.

Sharon: No, that’s okay.

Crystal: It isn’T. You did so much for me when i was mixed up in that nightmare with zack, and I know the reason that I’m here is because of your husband, rey, and I’m so sorry for your loss.

Sharon: Thank you. Mariah said that this is rey’s wedding gift — removing the obstacles so that you could be here to enjoy this amazing occasion.

Crystal: I’m sorry to bring him up on such a happy day.

Sharon: No, no need to apologize. Rey is the reason that we can be happy after so much heartache. I’m just so glad that tessa’s able to have some family with her today, and that’s what I’m gonna focus on.

Kyle: Hi, sharon. I heard about rey. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Sharon: Thank you. Thanks for saying that, kyle. And thanks for changing your plans so that you could be here for mariah and do this for her. I know that it means a lot to her.

Kyle: Me too. And sorry for interrupting.

Sharon: No, not at all. This is crystal, tessa’s sister.

Kyle: Ah, it’s so good to meet you. Tessa’s a good friend of mine. I’m kyle.

[ Clears throat ]

Reverend kyle.

Crystal: Are you the minister?

Kyle: I was just ordained online, but don’t let it scare you that this is my first time. Tessa and mariah are in very caring and capable hands. And in case you don’t know, I’m the reason they got together in the first place, but I’ll save the details for the toast.

Jack: Hey, there. Are we late?

Phyllis: Congratulations, sharon.

Sharon: Oh, thank you, phyllis.

Jack: Congratulations.

Sharon: Thank you.

Kyle: Not at all. You’re right on time.

Phyllis: Where are the brides? Are they here?

Kyle: Yes, but they haven’t seen each other, and I’m happy to report I have never seen two people more ready to get married. Looking to get back in your type 2 diabetes zone?

Phyllis: So where’s summer?

Kyle: Her flight was delayed, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed that she gets here soon. But if you’ll excuse me, I need to make sure that I’m standing in the right place to perform my officiating duties. So who’s running this show?

Faith: That would be me.

Kyle: Impressive.

Faith: Everyone, please take a seat so we can celebrate our super-funky couple and lift them up with the power of our love. Kyle.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Crystal: Thank you.

[ Processional music plays ]

[ Indistinct speaking ]

Tessa: You look so beautiful.

Mariah: I love you.

Transcript provided by and proofread by Suzanne

Curtis: Well, I love coming home to this sight.

Portia: What, me in my scrubs?

Curtis: No. Beautiful you in our living room.

Portia: Oh, I wish we could spend all day doing this.

Curtis: So do I. But, unfortunately, there is this thing called life.

Portia: Don’t I know it.


Trina. Hi.

Ava: Hi. Thanks for letting me crash your mother-daughter lunch. I’m glad that Portia was okay with it.

Trina. Yeah, totally.

Ava: I wanted to bring Avery with me, too, but she’s with her father, so… I know that look. What’s wrong?

Trina. I’m about to be expelled.


Esmé: Hi, my love. Guess what.

Spencer:  What?

Esmé: I have a giant surprise for you.


Ned: Leo, I’m sure Chase will be here any minute.

Leo: But it’s almost time to start. What if he doesn’t come? Like at my adoption party.

Brook Lynn: Okay. Remember what Chase and I told you that day? That if he can’t be here, other people will cover for him.

Leo: Like whale pods.

Olivia:  Yeah. Exactly. Honey, that is a great analogy. You know what? I will cover for Chase. I will sit right in the front. I promise you, you can give your poem right to me.

Leo: That won’t work.

Olivia:  Why not, honey?

Leo: Because that’s not the way I practiced it.


Felicia: It’s so nice to get together just us girls.

Anna: Why do we ever invite the men?

Felicia: Well, Mac is fun to look at.

Anna: Hmm, even with a baby-crazed gleam in his eye?

Felicia: For your information, that topic has not been brought up since you and I talked about it last.

Anna: That’s a relief.

Felicia: Yeah. Now that I am no longer the focus of conversation, start talkin’, missy.

Anna: About?

Felicia: What’s the latest with your on-again/off-again paramour?


Ned:  Tell me how you’re feeling.

Leo: Shaky.

Ned:  Mm-hmm. Remember what Dr. Newman told you to do?  Deep breaths. In through the nose, out through the mouth.

Olivia:  And, honey, this — this could help you focus. Right?

Leo: I don’t need that. I need Chase.

Brook Lynn:  Says who? You’re gonna do great all on your own, Leo.

Leo: I’m not going up there without him.

Chase: Oh, it’s a good thing I’m here, then.

Leo: [ Gasps ]

Chase: Hey. I’m sorry, I got stuck in traffic, but I would have ran here if I had to.

Leo: And left your car?

Chase: If that’s what it took, yeah.

Leo: I’m so glad you’re here.

Brook Lynn: [ Sighs ]


Sam: Sonny, Drew.

Hey, Sam

Hey, willow.

Sonny:  So I hear scout has a painting on display.

Sam: [ Chuckles ] I don’t even know what it is.

Drew: Wait, you haven’t had a preview?

Sam: No, she said it was all very top secret.

Drew: Oh, man, it’s amazing. It’s a sight to be seen. Come on, I’ll show you.

Willow: Hey, Sonny, um… thank you for the flowers you sent. That was really thoughtful.

Sonny: How are you holding up?

Willow: It’s been…difficult, but Michael and Wiley are getting me through it.

Sonny: If you need anything, you know I’m always here for you.

Michael: Willow will never need anything from you.


Anna: There’s nothing to talk about.

Felicia: Oh, no?

Anna: No.

Felicia: New Year’s Eve, The Savoy, you, Valentin with your hands and your lips all over each other?

Anna: You weren’t even there.

Felicia: Yeah, other people were, and I heard all about it. But since then, there’s been no action, so to speak.

Anna: Well, there was plenty of action, which resulted in him having to recuperate out of town. I mean, Valentin’s only been back a couple of weeks.

Felicia: He’s back? Why am I just learning about this now?

Anna: Because, like I said, there’s nothing to tell. Well, he came to my house and we talked. And he kissed me. And I haven’t seen him since. [ Chuckles ]

Valentin: Hello.

Felicia: Speak of the devil.

Valentin: Don’t you ladies light up a garden? Must be my lucky day.

Anna: [ Chuckles ]


Willow: I was just thanking Sonny for the flowers.

Dante: You, uh, here to see Avery?

Sonny: Yeah, I’m here to see Avery’s dance performance, and then we’re going to have a little lunch.

Dante: Nice. Yeah. Leo’s reciting a poem.

Sonny: I guess we got a family full of performers today, huh?

Willow: Come on, Michael. Let’s go find seats.

Dante: [ Sighs ] You gonna stick around?

Sonny: Yeah, ’cause I’m not going to leave ’cause my son doesn’t want me here.


Olivia:  Thank you so much for being here. It absolutely means the world to Leo.

Chase:  I wouldn’t have missed it.

Ned:  We better go if we want to get a good seat.

Olivia:  You know what? Um, I think I’m gonna hang back. I’m gonna hang back, okay?

Leo: Mom, I’m okay.

Olivia: Are you sure?

Leo: Yep.

Olivia: I am so proud of you. You’re gonna knock ’em dead, yeah?

Leo: Okay.

Brook Lynn: Save us seats, okay?  Wow. It is a really good turnout.

Leo: There are a lot of people here.

Chase:  I know. Isn’t it awesome?

Leo: Not if I mess up, it’s not.


Esmé: I’ve arranged for us to have a picnic by the water and ride horses through the grounds. Doesn’t that sound romantic? And I know you had your own special surprise for us, but — and I’m not trying to step on that, but I just thought this could be a little, uh…foreplay. You know, you, me, alone, no interruptions.

Nikolas: Except for mine. Sorry.

Esmé: Oh, don’t apologize. Spence and I were just heading out for the afternoon.

Spencer: It’s really sweet that you went to all the trouble, Esmé, but I can’t go anywhere with you.


Trina: The Title IX report from PCU. A one-stop shop for all the findings into the investigation into Joss and Cam’s sex tape.

Ava:  So this is what the school will use to determine whether you’re guilty or not?

Trina: I have 10 days to review it, and then they’ll make their decision. And if they decide that I’m responsible, I’ll most likely be expelled.

Ava: Well, no, no, no. I mean, they would reverse that when you’re found not guilty in court.

Trina: If I’m found not guilty.

Ava: You will be.

Trina: And no, actually, the court verdict has no bearing on the university’s investigation.

Ava: Well, that’s ludicrous.

Trina: Those are the rules. And PCU can still kick me out of the school, which is the least of my problems if I’m sent to prison.

Ava: Trina.

Trina: What am I gonna do?


Curtis: Why are you here? I thought you’d be working.

Portia: Well, I wanted to take Trina to lunch, to hopefully take her mind off of everything. So I just needed to come home to change. And I’m late, so…

Curtis: Oh, go, go, go, go. Okay. But wait, wait, whoa.

Portia: What are you doing here? Is — is everything okay?

Curtis: I’m sure we’ll soon find out.

Portia: Okay. I’m gonna let you go ahead and be mysterious right now, but just please — you’ll explain everything later, right?

Curtis: Everything.

Portia: Okay.

[ Doorbell rings ]


Chase: Leo, no matter what happens, we are all so proud of you. Okay? And you’ve been practicing your trick, right? When you recite your poem, you are performing just for me.

Brook Lynn: And, you know, I get stage fright a lot, too, but it just goes away when I start singing.

Leo: I’m not singing.

Brook Lynn: You’re up.

Chase: Okay. How’s this? I will make you a deal. If you recite your poem today, later, at your birthday party, you can pick any song and I’ll sing it in front of everybody.

Leo: Any song?

Chase: Yep.

Leo: Even “Fly Me to the Moon”?

Chase: [ Chuckles ] What do you know about Frank Sinatra?

Leo: Well, Mom sings it to me all the time.

Chase: Okay, well, I’ll sing anything you want, but you have to do your part. Deal?

Leo: Deal.


Sonny: I’m not gonna let Michael chase me out of here. Olivia’s my friend, your mother. I’m — I’m here to support Leo.

Dante: He’s — he’s still pretty angry.

Sonny: Yeah, I know he is. I noticed.

Dante: [ Sighs ] I’m trying to get him to talk to you. It hasn’t worked so far, but I’m thinking — I don’t know, maybe you got to be the one to make the first move.

Sonny: Dante, what happens next is up to Michael. Your brother said some pretty tough things that he can’t take back. If he wants to apologize, he comes to me. Then we’re gonna work it out.

Dante: I agree with you, if things were kind of cooling off a little bit, but they’re not, and I’m — I’m worried that in the meantime, more damage can be done.

Sam: Hey. Hey. Let’s find our seats.

Sonny:  Yeah. You guys go ahead. I’ll see you after.

Dante: Alright.


Willow: I swear, Michael, Sonny was just offering his condolences about my — about Harmony.

Michael: The flowers were sent to you, so I didn’t say anything, but my father’s barely noticed any of us since he’s gotten back from Nixon Falls. And all of a sudden, now he’s showing his concern?

Willow: You don’t think it was sincere?

Michael: I think he feels badly for you, but I also think he’s trying to get one over on me.

Willow: Do you want to leave?

Michael: No, no, I’m — I’m with my family. Unlike my father, who threw his away.


Felicia: Hello, Valentin.

Valentin: Hello, Felicia. I was on my way to my room, and I thought I would stop by and say hello.

Anna:  Hello.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Valentin: Sorry I haven’t been in touch.

Anna: Oh, no need to explain. Excuse me. I have to take this. Anna Devane.

Felicia: Join me?

Valentin: I would love to. So, how have you been?

Felicia: Great. Except I heard that you kissed my friend and then ghosted her.

Valentin: I believe I’ve apologized.

Felicia: Oh, you can do better than that. Going off the radar whenever you and Anna get close? [ Clicks tongue ] Unacceptable.

Valentin: Is that how it looks?

Felicia: That’s how it is. So tell me, Valentin, how serious are you about Anna?


Ava: Well, at least Josslyn and Cam both went on record saying they know you didn’t do it. I mean, that’s got to be helpful, right?

Trina: It still doesn’t look good. The burden of proof is lower in these cases.

Ava: Trina, try to think positive. You know, pessimism will get you nowhere.

Trina: I call it realism.

Ava: Nobody has found you responsible. Right? And they may not. I mean, there’s every chance in the world that this coordinator person will see what your friends, your family, and countless others see — that you are innocent.

Trina: Thank you. But you all know me. To the Title IX coordinator, I’m just another random troublemaker.


Spencer: I have to go into Kelly’s.

Esmé: And I love that you’re so dedicated to your job, but it’s your day off.

Spencer: Well, Cam texted, and one of the other servers called in sick, so he needs me to cover.

Esmé: Oh, there are plenty of other people who can cover for you, aren’t there? I mean, come on, Spence. You’ve been working so hard lately, both at Kelly’s and at the gallery. You deserve to take a day to yourself. You know, spend time with loved ones.

Spencer: I’m sorry. I really need to go.

Nikolas:  Esmé…


Curtis: Thank you for coming.

Stella: Did you think I wouldn’t?  This is obviously more than a social visit.

Curtis: Why obviously?

Stella: I could tell by your voice when you called. So what can I do for you?

Curtis: I’m sure this, uh — this won’t be the easiest thing to hear.

Stella: I notice Marshall hasn’t been around lately. Does this have something to do with him?

Curtis: Marshall left town. He’s not coming back.

Stella: Why did he leave?

Curtis: We had an argument. He wasn’t being honest with me.

Stella: [ Sighs ] I really thought your father would open up more the more you got to know him.

Curtis: I thought he would open up more the more he got to know us. I’m not talking about what — what he held back on. I’m talking about the lies. The lies — letting us believe that he was in witness protection all those years or that he suddenly went underground because he got on the wrong side of the wrong people or that he had no choice but to abandon his family. But see, now I finally know that wasn’t the case.

Stella: Curtis, how do you know all this?


Principal Adair: Excuse me, everyone. I am so glad you could join us for what promises to be a wonderful showcase of our students’ many talents.

Sam:  You and Sonny looked pretty intense. Everything okay?

Dante:  Yeah, not really.


Drew:  This seat taken?

Ned:  It’s all yours.

Drew: Ah, thanks, thanks. You both must be so proud of Leo.

Olivia: We — we are. We truly are.

Drew: It’s really nice, I got to say, that family can come together and celebrate like this.

Olivia: Yeah.

Ned:  In the spirit of family, I’d like to sit down with you and Michael and have a more in-depth discussion about ELQ’s future.

Olivia: Are you really talking business right now?

Drew: Absolutely. Michael and I have been talking, and we’ve got a proposition for you.

Ned: I look forward to hearing it.


Principal Adair: And for our first performance, please welcome to the stage Leo Quartermaine…

Olivia: He’s up, he’s up.

Principal Adair: …Who will be reciting “The Only Me” by Pat Mora.

[ Applause ]


Esmé: All I wanted was for us to get back to where we were, but that’s impossible when Spence keeps throwing up these walls. And I-I suppose I should just accept it. Right? He’s no longer into me. Move on. But… oh, god, the thought of giving up on him? I know Spence and I don’t always agree. What couple does? But I never imagined that those differences would be what drove him away. We were a team. And then one little argument, and poof. It’s all gone. Do you know what that’s like?

Nikolas: [ Chuckles lightly ] Yeah. I do.


Trina: I am so ready for the day I do not have to think about Esmé Prince ever again. All the damage she’s done to me, Joss, Cam, you?

Ava: Yeah, well, Esmé’s transgressions against me are very well known. And in the past, apparently. Or so I’ve been assured.

Trina: So things are better with you and Nikolas?

Ava: No. But it has nothing to do with Esmé. No, it doesn’t. Nikolas and I are grown-ups. If it doesn’t work out, that’s on us. Trina, your loyalty means so much to me. And you know you always have mine.

Trina: I know.

Ava: But dealing with Nikolas and Esmé is my job. Yours is to focus on yourself. Keep your chin up, okay?

Trina: Okay.


Spencer: Dr. Robinson.

Portia: [ Scoffs ] Of course you’re working today.

Spencer: How’s Trina?

Portia: Excuse me? No, no, Trina’s none of your business. My daughter — off limits to you.


Stella: You accessed Marshall’s arrest record? How did you manage that? Forget I asked. But why?

Curtis: What do you mean why?

Stella: I thought you were done snooping in your father’s past.

Curtis: I was, but he kept hinting about danger, and I was not gonna let any harm happen to you or anybody else in my family.

Stella: [ Sighs ]

Curtis: So I needed to know the rest of the story.

Stella: I wish it hadn’t come to that.

Curtis: Me, too. As it turns out, Marshall didn’t run afoul of the mob. He got arrested in a protest that got out of control. He wasn’t tried. He didn’t go to jail. Instead, he was remanded to a mental institution. When I talked to Marshall about it, he shut down and refused to talk about that part of his life. You know, the night you had your panic attack, I noticed you and Marshall had your heads together. And it does not escape me that you didn’t ask what I learned and you don’t at all seem surprised about it. You know more about what happened to Marshall than you’re letting on.

Stella: Yes. Yes.

Curtis: Why did you lie to me about it?


Leo: “Spinning through space for eons, our earth — oceans, rivers, mountains, glaciers, tigers, parrots, redwoods — evolving wonders. And our vast array, generations of humans — all shapes, colors, languages. Can I be the only me? Our earth: So much beauty, hate, goodness, greed. ‘Study. Cool the climate,’ advises my teacher. ‘Grow peace.’ Can I be the only me, become all my unique complexity?

[ Chase clapping ]

[ Applause ]


Valentin: I’m very fond of Anna.

Felicia: Well, you better prove it or move on because Anna is the best of the best. And if you hurt her…

Valentin: I’ll have to answer to you?

Felicia: Bingo.

Anna: Guess who that was.

Who?

Anna: Agent Beeman from Tahiti.

Felicia: The one that arrested Jennifer smith.

Valentin: Jennifer smith?

Anna: Yeah. The bureau took her into custody not only for stealing the Ice Princess, but also for causing the cable car accident that killed Luke. Apparently, they have solid evidence, and Beeman says that she’s gonna spend the rest of her life in Steinmauer.

Felicia: Did you tell him that you don’t think she’s guilty?

Valentin: Why do you think she’s not guilty?

Anna: Because there’s a missing piece.

Felicia: French naval captain.

Valentin: [ French accent ] This chair, is it taken?

Jennifer claims that she was with this captain in Tahiti, and the WSB, they haven’t had any luck in finding him.

Valentin: I think I might be able to help.


Esmé: Spence doesn’t trust me because I followed him into his vendetta against Ava. Meanwhile, I only did those things because I was so devoted to him. Does that make me sound weak, that I just blindly did whatever he wanted?

Nikolas: It sounds like love.

Esmé: Now it’s the very thing tearing us apart.

Nikolas: You know, trust is a tricky thing. And believe me, I know that better than anyone.

Esmé: Oh, my god. I am so sorry.

Nikolas: Why?

Esmé: Here I am going on about my problems when yours with Ava are so much more significant. I-I didn’t mean to dredge up a painful subject for you. I-I wasn’t thinking.

Nikolas: That doesn’t sound like you.


Spencer: I am very sorry for what Trina and your family are going through. I hope that this is all over soon.

Portia: This will never be over for Trina. Her name for the rest of eternity will be attached to this horrible act. Not to mention an arrest record that’s gonna follow her around forever. And, oh, yeah, she’s about to get kicked out of school, too. And that’s the lesser of two evils, considering the other option is prison time.

Spencer:I know how hard this is for you.

Portia: You have no idea. I mean, look at you. You were actually guilty. And your family bought you a slap on the wrist.

Spencer:I did go to prison.

Portia: Oh, please, don’t even. No. Minimum security prison for 30 days. Don’t even start with me. But now you’re back. You’re here. You got your trust fund, you got your island, and you got your family name, which apparently gets you out of anything. Trina doesn’t have that. Do you understand this? This is ruining her life. Do you get it? It’s all because of you. It’s because of you and your awful girlfriend.


Ava: So do you think we should — we should order or will your mom be here soon?

Trina: Mm, I haven’t heard from her. Maybe she got caught up at work.

Portia: You’re like this human wrecking ball in Trina’s life.

Ava: Not at work.

Portia: [ Speaking indistinctly ] And you want to know what? Trina vouched for you time and time and time again. And what did it get her? Nothing! Oh, wait, wait. No, no, no. It did get her something. Heartache, misery, a tainted future. Lucky her.

Ava: You. Inside.

Trina: What did you say to him?


Curtis: So all those times… all those times you said, “Let it go, Curtis. Wait for Marshall to come to you,” you knew that he abandoned his family for no reason?

Stella: I’m so sorry, Curtis.

Curtis: That’s it? You’re “sorry, Curtis”? How long have you known?

Stella: Well, I mean, if you’re asking me if I knew, if I was in on this from the beginning, the answer is no. I didn’t find out until Marshall had already gone.

Curtis: So when Mom got sick and you came to help us?

Stella: Yes. I knew.

Curtis: You, Aunt Stella, the pillar of honesty, you’ve been lying to me my whole life. You lied to Tommy his whole life. You watched us cry and grieve over a man who’s still alive.

Stella: It hurts something fierce, Curtis. Knowing th– seeing you and Tommy grow up without a father, knowing how much you needed him, how much you — you missed him. I hated every second of it. Then when you told me how you and Tommy stopped asking about Marshall because you saw how it affected us, that broke my heart and I wanted to confess right then.

Curtis: Then why didn’t you?

Stella: Because the man came back wanting a relationship with you. And once I saw you warming to a relationship with him, I didn’t want to get in the way of that.

Curtis: My f– this is unreal.

Stella: Baby, listen, if there — if there’s anything else, any other questions that you have for me now, I will do my best to answer them.

Curtis: I’m sorry, Aunt Stella. It might be too late. I don’t know how I’m meant to believe anything you say.


Valentin: Why don’t you let me take you to dinner? We can discuss the case or not. What are you doing tomorrow night?

Anna: I have plans.

Valentin: Well, cancel them.

Anna: I can’t cancel them.

Valentin: Well, then I’ll come over after. Do you still have the Pauillac blend of Bordeaux?

Felicia: Oh, we drank that at our last get-together, didn’t we?

Anna: Yeah. I told you it wouldn’t last.

Valentin: Hope you let it breathe.

Anna: Didn’t need it.

Valentin: Well, then, if not tomorrow night, the night after or any night you choose, I’ll bring something posh and even more expensive.

Anna: I’ll tell you what. I’ll check my dance card and let you know.

Valentin: By all means.


Esmé: I know I seem confident, but… before I met Spence, I was a mess. Mourning the loss of my parents all alone, no friends to speak of.

Nikolas: Must have been difficult.

Esmé: It was awful. And I know this may sound disingenuous, confiding my problems with my boyfriend to his father, but… that’s not all you are to me. You’re also the man who rescued me from Sonny, the man who took me in when no one else would, even though it cost him. You know, you and Spencer being here just brought some things to the surface, that’s all. I don’t see how Ava doesn’t get it.

Nikolas: Get what?

Esmé: That the one thing you care about most is doing what’s best for your family.

Nikolas: Doesn’t mean I’m always successful.

Esmé: And of course you’ve made mistakes. Everyone does. But your intentions, y-y– you care about your family and would do anything for them. I mean, honestly, who could ask for more?


Portia:  I couldn’t hold it in anymore. I mean, he’s so spoiled and entitled, and it’s —

Trina:  Mom.

Portia:  [ Sighs ] He deserved it. He deserved every word and more.

Trina:  Well, I mean, he’s heard it all coming from me. Might as well hear it from you, too.

Portia:  You’re not mad at me, are you?

Trina:  What? I’m grateful. Thank you for having my back.

Portia:  Oh, god, always, baby girl. Always.

Trina:  I mean, why was Spencer even here? Cam told me today was his day off. Otherwise, I would have picked a different restaurant.

Portia:  It’s fine. It doesn’t matter. I just hope it doesn’t ruin our time, our lunch.

Trina:  It was already ruined. I got the Title IX report.

Portia:  Oh, my god. What did it say?


Ava: Portia and I are trying to keep Trina’s mind off the hell that you and Esmé have inflicted on her. You being here certainly doesn’t help.

Spencer: I picked up an extra shift.

Ava: Well, unpick it up.

Spencer: This isn’t the gallery, Ava. You have no authority over me here, so leave me the hell alone.


Olivia:  I am so, so proud of you. Do you know that?

Dante: Buddy, you were incredible, man.

Sam:  Yeah, it was really, really great.

Willow: Yeah. “The only me” is one of my favorites.

Leo: It is?

Willow: I used to read to my students all the time for inspiration.

Leo:  Cool.

Chase: You were amazing, dude. [ Laughs ] Oh!

Leo: I used your trick.

Brook Lynn: And it did the trick.  You were so good. Aww.

Sonny: Hey, buddy. You know how hard it is to get on the stage and do that? [ Laughs ]

Brook Lynn: You excited for your birthday party?

Olivia:  Okay, and that’s my cue. We’re gonna see you at the hotel, right?

Dante: We’re right behind you.

Olivia:  Okay. Leo, wait up!

Brook Lynn: We should probably go.

Sam: Find me when you’re ready to leave.

Dante: Yeah, of course.

Sonny: So when you said that the damage is already done, you know, while I’ll be waiting for an apology, what — what did you mean by that? Like, is — is Michael planning something?


Michael: We’ll have a more formal conversation about this later, but we wanted to fill you in ASAP. We’ve been looking at the corporate structure of the merger, and we can offer you COO.

Ned: Chief Operating Officer is an administrative position. More about nuts and bolts, not long-term vision.

Drew: You’ll be perfect for this, Ned. With your expertise, you’re gonna be able to seamlessly implement the wide scope of the changes.

Ned: And my lack of media experience?

Michael: Well, we might — we might bring in someone, if needed, to focus more on that side.

Ned: Ha! So I wouldn’t even be the only COO.

Drew: To be determined. ‘Look, if that happens, we’ll make sure that that position is lower than yours.

Michael: So what do you think?

Ned: I think… you’ve given me a lot to consider. I’ll see you at the Metro Court.

Drew: That went well.


Stella: Baby, I love you more than anything in this world. And I am so deeply sorry for causing you this pain. That was never what I wanted. Please tell me you believe that. In the time that I spent with Marshall since he’s come back, I’ve seen how much he loves you. After 40 years, baby. All that time, all that life. It would be so easy for him to just stay away, but he couldn’t. I know what you’re thinking, honey. I know what you’re thinking. “If he loved me so much, then why did he leave me in the first place?” But right or wrong, Marshall truly believed he was giving you what you needed.

Curtis: How? How, Aunt Stella? How could being away from us be what we needed? He left his wife. He left his two — or did he? Aunt Stella… …did Mom know?

Stella: It was Marshall’s decision to let you and Tommy think he was dead, but… your mother agreed to it.

Curtis: [ Sighs ]

Stella:God, I hated keeping that secret. I hated it! But your parents thought that they were doing what was best, and I had to respect that. If I could go back, baby, if I could have told you sooner… I would’ve spared you this hurt. [ Sobbing ] Oh, god, I’m so sorry. Oh, god.

Curtis: Aunt Stella.


Curtis: I love you, Aunt Stella. That’s never gonna change. But… I just don’t understand why. There was no jail time. There were no ties to the mob. Hell, I don’t even know how long he was in the mental institution. So why the decision to pretend to be dead?

Stella: That part? That’s not my story to tell. That’s your father’s.

Curtis: Then I need to find him.


Dante: I think the best course of action is to talk to Michael before things escalate.

Sonny: Is that code for “watch your back”?

Dante: It’s a heads-up. Take care of yourself, okay, Dad?

Sonny: Yeah.


Leo: Wow! My kid party was cool, but this party is even cooler.

Ned and Olivia: [ Both laugh ]

Ned: Because you are a cool kid, Leo.

Leo: Where did all the balloons come from?

Ned: Well, you can thank your mom. She made it all happen.

Leo: Thanks, mom!

Olivia: [ Laughs ] Oh, you’re welcome. I love you, honey. Happy birthday.

Leo: I want to see the balloons.

Olivia: Go for it.

Ned:  [ Chuckles ]

[ Cellphone rings ]

Ned: I, um… I should probably take this before the singing starts. Is it alright if I step out for just a minute?

Olivia: Do your thing. Sure.

Ned: Okay. I won’t be long.


Brook Lynn: You realize it’s almost time for you to face the music. Literally, unless you plan to not hold up your end of the bargain.

Chase: Are you kidding me? Leo brought it today.

Brook Lynn: Oh, big time. Thank you so much for being so supportive of my brother.

Chase: Oh, he’s a good kid.

Brook Lynn: Yeah, well, you’re pretty great, too.


Michael: Ned was a little noncommittal about the COO offer.

Drew: You think?

Michael: Yeah. But no one cares more about ELQ than Ned does, and I’m sure when push comes to shove, he’ll do — he’ll do what’s right for the company.


Ned: You wanted to meet? Here I am.


Ava: Spencer, stay away from Trina or I will make sure you regret it.

Spencer: I am not the enemy here.

Trina: Hey, um, so, my mom and I are gonna go eat somewhere else. You still want in?

Ava: No. You know what? I-I’ll take a rain check, but have a good time.

Trina: Okay, thank you.

Spencer: Trina —

Ava: What did I just say?

Spencer: Trina, I’m… I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean to upset your mom or you.

Trina: You don’t mean to do anything, do you, Spencer?

Ava: Is there a reason you just can’t seem to leave that girl in peace?


Esmé: I think that’s why I feel so comfortable with you. Because I trust in your intentions. You make me feel safe.

Nikolas: [ Chuckles ] That’s kind of you, but believe me, not everyone approves of my methods.

Esmé: Like Ava? I’m sorry that Ava can’t see you the way I do.

Nikolas: What way is that?


On the next “General Hospital” —

Chase (to Brook Lynn): All will be revealed in due time.

Ava: He is in the vast minority

Esmé (to Nikolas): How does Ava not appreciate that?

Gladys: What’s in it for us?

Sasha (to Brando): Harmony’s death is my fault.

Carly (to Drew and Michael): You need investors? Count me in.

Valentin (to Ned): Is there something we can do so that we both get what we want?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Belle: Sorry, I just got out of court. Any word on allie or ciara’s baby?

Eric: No, not yet. Dad, he’s on his way back over to take over so I can go help with the search. I’m sure shawn’s been working around the clock.

Belle: Yeah, probably. I don’t know, I haven’t heard from him. Things are still not good between us.

Eric: I’m sorry. I mean, the last time we spoke, you said you were ready to move back in.

Belle: Well, I was, but jan spears beat me to it.

Eric: What?

Belle: Yep. That maniac is now living in my family’s home with my husband.

Shawn: John. Hi.

John: Hey, I heard that evan frears was arrested.

Shawn: Yeah, yeah, he’s in there. He’s just waiting to get transferred back to statesville.

John: All right. Say anything about my granddaughter? Does he know where she is?

Shawn: He claims he doesn’t know, but he did tell ben, ciara, and me what the devil has planned for their baby.

John: And that is?

Shawn: He wants him to be his permanent host body here on earth.

John: Ah, jeez.

Shawn: If we don’t stop him, he’s gonna take control of my nephew, body and soul.

[Cell phone ringing]

Marlena: Hi, tripp. What’s happening?

Tripp: Hey, I was hoping maybe you had some news about allie?

Marlena: I do. We think she’s headed to the cemetery and she has the baby with her.

Tripp: Do you know if allie and the baby are all right?

Marlena: I know she’s still possessed.

Tripp: Oh, man.

Marlena: But johnny went to the cemetery about half an hour ago. I’m still waiting to hear from him.

Charlie: [Chuckles] Talk about a glass jaw.

Demon allie: Once the ritual of transference is completed, you can get rid of him and his sister.

[Eerie music]

Ciara: Get the hell away from my son.

Demon allie: He won’t be your son for much longer. Soon, he and I will become one.

Ciara: Not while I’m around.

Ben: Just stay back. I’ll get the baby.

Charlie: I wouldn’t do that if I were you.

[Electricity zapping]

Ben: Ugh!

Ciara: Ben!

[Baby crying] Ben.

Charlie: [Laughing] I tried to warn him. You two wasted your time coming here. My boss has already won this battle.

[Eerie music]

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

[Soft orchestration]

John: Don’t worry, shawn, we’re not gonna let the devil take that little baby.

Shawn: The problem is we need to find him first.

[Cell phone beeps]

[Sighs]

John: Is that about allie?

Shawn: Ah, no. It’s– god, it’s jan. Her ankle monitor went off. She must’ve breached the perimeter to the house.

John: Ah. You sound surprised. Didn’t occur to you that she might try to take off?

Shawn: Look, I don’t like her living in my house any more than you or belle do, okay?

John: All right, just you find allie and the baby. I’ll deal with jan spears.

Shawn: Are you sure?

John: Damn right, I’m sure. I don’t want that crazy woman anywhere near my daughter.

Eric: Listen, I’m sorry, I just don’t understand this agreement. Women give birth in prison all the time. Don’t they realize that jan spears, she’s a threat to our community?

Belle: Yep. True on both counts, but shawn talked to the warden about jan’s high-risk pregnancy, and he let her out on house arrest.

Eric: But does shawn have to agree to this insane agreement?

Belle: Oh yeah, he did. But then shawn brady’s not gonna say “yeah, let her go back to prison, I don’t care if she loses my baby.”

Eric: Belle, you can’t let this woman destroy your marriage.

Belle: Eric, what am i supposed to do? I’m not gonna go and live in the same house with jan, and shawn feels responsible for the baby. So we’re just at a basic standoff and, you know, I don’t see that ending anytime soon.

Marlena: Yes, I will call you as soon as I hear from johnny or ben and ciara.

Tripp: What about the police?

Marlena: I’m still waiting to hear back from shawn.

Tripp: I’m going out there.

Marlena: What can you do?

Tripp: I’m a doctor, for one, and I’m not just gonna sit around while allie goes through this.

Marlena: Sounds like you care about her.

Tripp: I told myself I didn’t, but that was just my wounded ego. I love your granddaughter. And I’m gonna do whatever I can to get her out of this nightmare.

[Baby crying]

[Wind whistling]

Ciara: Oh, thank god you’re still alive. I am not gonna let you get away with this. That is my baby, and I want him back.

Charlie: You’re gonna fry, just like hubby did.

Ciara: Please, god. Please give me the strength to fight this battle.

Charlie: What the hell?

[Energy radiating]

Ciara: [Straining] Like pulsing, electric shocks,

Johnny: [Groaning] Ciara?

Charlie: Uh, boss? I think we have a problem.

Demon allie: No. It cannot be. That’s impossible.

Ciara: It’s okay, sweetie. Mommy’s here. Mommy’s gonna save you.

Eric: Listen, once jan, she gives birth to this baby, she’s gonna have to go back and complete her sentence, right?

Belle: Then what about the baby?

Eric: That’s a hard one.

Belle: Right. So jan has made sure that that child is gonna tie her to shawn, and she is gonna be in his life forever.

Eric: Belle, you have one choice. You can let it defeat you or you can hold on to your marriage and fight for it.

[Cell phone beeps]

Belle: Oh, my god.

Eric: What?

Belle: It’s from my dad. Jan’s ankle monitor went off, so he’s on his way over there to check them out. She could be on the loose, eric. What is that psycho gonna do this time?

Eric: Right.

John: [Sighs]

Jan: I am so glad that– oh, it’s you.

John: That’s right. And it looks like you put on that little get-up for nothing.

Jan: What are you doing here?

John: Well, I was with shawn when your ankle monitor went off. So I said, “no, shawn, no, no, you just–you stay here at the cop shop, and you keep looking for ciara and the baby, and I’ll deal with jan.” You see, he thought you probably took off, but I knew that you would be right here.

Jan: Of course I’m right here. I’m on bed rest for the remainder of my pregnancy.

John: So you figured out a way to jimmy that thing, huh?

Jan: I was bored. I wanted shawn to come home and keep me company.

John: Looks like you’re stuck with me instead.

Jan: You don’t have to stay. As you can see, everything is fine.

John: No, that’s okay. Actually, I was looking for a little time alone with you.

Jan: Why? So you can choke me back into another coma?

John: Tempted, but no. But what I am gonna do is I’m gonna lay out all the reasons why you’re gonna stay away from my daughter.

Shawn: I don’t give a damn how understaffed you are, I want evan frears off my hands as soon as possible, all right?

Marlena: Why haven’t you answered my calls?

Shawn: I’m sorry, I just got your messages, but I had my hands full. I got evan frears in there, and I’ve got– jan’s ankle monitor went off.

Marlena: Deal with that later.

Shawn: John said he’s taking care of it.

Marlena: Okay, well, I’ll go over there when I can. Look, johnny and susan and i think that we’ve made contact with allie, tonight. And I think she’s taken the baby to the cemetery. So I’ve contacted ben. He’s on his way over there and johnny is too. But I think when we need backup. I think we really need the help of the police on this.

Johnny: Ciara! Can I help you?

Demon allie: Be gone, mortal. I said be gone!

Ciara: Ah! Hi. Hi, bo.

[Baby cooing] Hi.

[Soft dramatic music]

I’m your mommy. You’re safe now. Shh, it’s okay. You’re safe.

[Sighing] My moderate to severe plaque psoriasis…

Ciara: It’s okay, bo. You’re safe now.

Demon allie: Don’t think you’ve vanquished me. I will win this yet.

[Groans]

Charlie: Boss, what’s happening?

Demon allie: The forces of good are at work.

Ciara: You’ll never get this baby away from me.

Demon allie: I can still–

[Spluttering] Still–

Charlie: Still what, boss?

Demon allie: The light! I have to get away from the light.

Charlie: Hey, boss, wh– where’re you going? Should I go with you? Ahh! You! You ruined everything! I was supposed to raise that baby!

Ciara: Don’t you know that that was never going to happen?

Charlie: Yeah? Well, if I don’t get to be the father, neither does he!

Ciara: No. No, charlie! Charlie, please stop! No!

Jan: I couldn’t care less about “tinkerbelle” or whatever nauseating thing you’re calling her now.

John: You are so full of it.

Jan: Oh, I’m not. Everything is different. I’m gonna be a mother. My child is my focus, my only focus.

John: Boy, I’d like to believe you really mean that, but no.

Jan: You can believe it. Belle doesn’t even register on my radar anymore. She had one of her little tantrums and walked out on shawn. He’s gonna be free of her soon. Then he and I will raise our baby together. We’ll be a family.

John: Mm. Well, here’s your news flash. Shawn and belle have broken up before, but they always find their way back to each other.

Jan: [Sighs] Everything’s different now that I’m carrying shawn’s baby. You see, a child has a way of bonding the two people who created that little life.

John: Mm-mm. No baby is a miracle worker.

Jan: Worked for you, didn’t it? You and dr. Evans were having a dirty little affair. And then belle showed up and cemented your relationship.

John: Not the way it happened.

Jan: Well, it’ll happen for shawn and me. You’ll see.

Eric: Hey. If jan was on the loose, john, he would’ve already called you by now.

Belle: I know you’re probably right.

Eric: She has to play by different rules. She’s dealing with a high-risk pregnancy.

Belle: [Laughs] So she says. The woman’s been known to multitask in the past.

[Cell phone beeps] Oh. Ugh. Dad says he’s with jan at the house.

Eric: There, that’s one less thing you’re gonna have to worry about tonight.

Belle: Yes, now, if we can just get some news about allie and that poor baby.

Ciara: Charlie. Charlie, please, no. Charlie! Charlie, leave him alone!

Charlie: Say goodbye to hubby. Ah!

[Eerie music]

Ciara: You brought a baseball bat.

Tripp: I wasn’t gonna come here unarmed.

Ciara: Oh, thank god. Thank you.

Tripp: Are you–are you and the baby all right?

Ciara: Yeah. Yeah, we’re fine. It’s, uh– it’s ben.

Tripp: His pulse is steady, and his pupils are equal and reactive.

Ciara: What does that mean? Does that mean he’s gonna be okay?

Tripp: I think so. Wh–what’s happening with allie?

Ciara: She, uh– she ran towards st. Luke’s, and johnny ran after her.

Tripp: I’m gonna try to catch up with them.

Ciara: Okay.

Tripp: How are the three of you gonna get to the hospital? I mean, you can’t take that bike.

Ben: [Groaning]

Ciara: I–I have my phone. It’s okay. Please be careful, tripp.

Demon allie: After 25 years, we’ve come full circle.

[Ominous music]

[Eerie music]

[Suspenseful music]

[Eerie music]

Allie: What a fitting place for the grand finale. Okay, this is a freezer, not a time capsule.

Ben: Oh, my god. He is perfect.

Ciara: I’d like you to meet your son, beauregard brady weston.

Ben: Hey, bo. I’m your dad. And it’s very, very nice to meet you. I love you very much. He’s beautiful.

Ciara: I know.

Ben: You saved him.

Ciara: The three of us, baby, we’re a family now. We’re gonna protect each other forever.

[Tender music]

Jan: So I’ve already come up with names for the baby.

John: Huh.

Jan: What do you think of britney? If it’s a girl, that is.

John: Britney… spears?

Jan: Spears-brady. And then if it’s a boy… lucifer.

John: You want to name your kid lucifer?

Jan: Lucifer! It’s been such a long time.

Marlena: Uh, I–I’m not possessed anymore, jan.

Jan: Oh. That’s a bummer. He was like the best friend I ever had. Except for claire, of course.

John: Hey. What are you doing here?

Marlena: Can we talk privately?

[Cell phone beeps] It’s johnny.

John: He’s gonna need our help.

[Cell phones beep]

Belle: Johnny followed allie to st. Luke’S.

Eric: I’m gonna get my stuff and head over, okay?

Belle: Okay, but I’m coming with you.

Eric: I don’t think you should.

Belle: Allie is my niece.

Eric: Belle, the fewer the people, the less chance of the devil having a host body.

Belle: Okay, but I want to help.

Eric: Pray. Pray for allie’s soul. John, mom, and I, we can handle the rest, okay?

Belle: Okay. You be careful. Good luck.

Eric: I have a feeling we’re gonna need it.

Demon allie: So the good people of salem think that they’ve defeated me? They’ll feel differently once I’ve taken my revenge on all of them!

Tripp: Are you all right?

Johnny: Yeah, your, uh– your dead brother knocked my head against a gravestone, so–

Tripp: Yeah, well, he got his. Where’s allie?

Johnny: I think she went up to the old choir loft. I was gonna go after her, but I–I sent a text to my family for backup, so–

Tripp: Okay, well, you wait for them; I’m going up there.

Johnny: No, no way. I’m–I’m coming with you.

Demon allie: I may have lost my new vessel on earth, but I am going out in a blaze of glory. And I’m taking little alice caroline horton with me.

Johnny: Allie, stop!

Demon allie: [Sighs]

It’s started. Somewhere between a cuddle

Demon allie: You young men couldn’t have picked a better time to arrive. You’ll have a front row seat to the spectacle.

Johnny: I smell gasoline. This place is covered in it.

Tripp: You can’t set fire to st. Luke’S.

Demon allie: And why not? I’ve done it before, except this time, this town’s beacon of hope and light is going to burn to the ground. And hopefully take half of salem with it.

Johnny: Allie, look, you need to fight! It’s me, it’s johnny. Fight this guy! I know you know how to do it. He wants to destroy you. So unleash some of that famous anger on him.

Demon allie: You can save the histrionics. She’s given up.

Tripp: Allie, if you let him win, you’ll never see henry again. Okay, you have to will yourself to be free of him. Do it for your son.

Demon allie: You’re wasting–

Allie: Henry! I want to be with my little boy.

Demon allie: Trust me, that little boy’s better off without a mother like you were.

Tripp: That is bull, allie. You are a great mom.

Johnny: He needs you! I need you. Look, allie, just– just come back to us. Just come back to us.

Demon allie: Hm. It’s too late. You two treated her like the dirt under your feet.

Johnny: Allie, you and I, we know how to push each other’s buttons and we probably did it too often, but underneath it all, I love you. And you love me. So just come on, allie, come back to us.

Tripp: Fight that bastard!

Demon allie: Ugh!

Johnny: Allie?

[Groans] I’m okay.

Demon allie: You and your sister together are no match for my powers. So now, this church and all three of us are going down in flames.

Belle: Shawn.

Shawn: Hey.

Belle: Hey, I just got a text from johnny. He said that ben and ciara found the baby and allie.

Shawn: Yeah, yeah. Ciara called me. She said they’re taking him to the hospital to get him checked out.

Belle: Oh no. Are they worried about him?

Shawn: No, I just– I just think they’re trying to be safe.

Belle: Okay.

Shawn: Ciara doesn’t know what’s going with allie. Last time she saw her, she was headed towards st. Luke’S.

Belle: Well, johnny followed her and eric’s on his way there now. Is that where you’re headed?

Shawn: No, there’s cops all over st. Luke’S. Rafe told them to stand back and hold their fire. He said they don’t need me, so, um, honestly, I’m not gonna believe that this baby’s okay until I see it with my own two eyes.

Belle: Well, if it’s okay with you, I’d like to go.

Shawn: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, of course it’s okay. I mean, yeah, it’s great.

Kayla: Oh. I am so happy to see you two. Is that my new little grand-nephew?

Ben: It sure is.

Kayla: He’s just beautiful. Does he have a name yet?

Ciara: Yeah. It’s bo. Bo brady weston.

Kayla: Bo. Your dad would be so proud. I think he has grandpa bo’s eyes. Aww. You have been through such an ordeal the last 24 hours, haven’t you, baby? He looks like he’s just fine.

Ciara: Yeah, we hope so.

Ben: Yeah, but we want to hear that from you. Nobody else.

Kayla: I’ve got a room ready. We’ll check out our little angel. Let’s go.

Demon allie: Time to say your prayers, boys. No. No, it can’t be.

Eric: “The lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me lie down in green pastures.”

Demon allie: The only green pasture you’ll lie in is the cemetery!

Eric: “He leadeth me beside the still waters. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.” Once again, I cast out the demon!

Demon allie: I hope you’ve been practicing. Your last attempt at an exorcism only made me stronger. I took over the nearest warm body and wreaked havoc in your lives. Maybe this time I’ll try you on for size, father.

Marlena: No, you won’T. You are done tormenting me, tormenting my family. Go back to hell.

Demon allie: Such words from you, marlena? After everything we’ve been through together.

Marlena: You tried to destroy me, destroy my friends, destroy my family, destroy everybody in salem, and it failed! Because the people in this town love each other. They care about each other. And love will always trump evil!

Demon allie: You have always underestimated my power!

John: No, I think we have you sized up pretty well here. That’s why we’ve got you cornered right now!

Demon allie: You think a couple setbacks are going to stop me? You’re weak, stupid. I’m repulsed by you!

John: You go back to where you came from now. Leave our granddaughter’s body now, at once!

Demon allie: I was growing tired of her anyway. So I will leave her to you. But only after I’ve killed her in front of you.

Ahhh, not again.

Kayla: Well, I am delighted to tell you that your son is in perfect health.

Both: [Sigh]

Ciara: Thank goodness.

Ben: That is great news.

Ciara: Hi, baby.

Shawn: You mind if we join the party?

Kayla: No, please, come in.

Ciara: Come in, bro.

Shawn: Oh, my gosh. I was so worried about you.

Ben: You should’ve seen her at the cemetery. She was amazing.

Ciara: [Sighs] Yeah. But allie still needs our help.

Belle: Well, johnny texted all of us. Eric’s on his way to the church now. My parents are already there. And I think they’re gonna try an exorcism.

Shawn: Yeah, I spoke to rafe. He said the cops have the whole church surrounded.

Ciara: Let’s hope that works. I’m really scared for allie.

Kayla: We all are.

Belle: Yeah, but we got god on our side. Our family is really fierce when any one of us is threatened.

Marlena: Leave my granddaughter alone.

Demon allie: You should’ve let me stay within you, marlena. Now you’ll have allie’s death on your hands.

John: We will not let you hurt her.

Eric: That’s right. Let’s join hands. Our father…

All: Who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done.

Demon allie: I command you to stop this!

All: On earth as it is in heaven.

Marlena: Allie, sweetheart.

All: Give us this day, our daily bread.

Marlena: I know you’re in there, and I know you’re scared.

All: Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.

Marlena: Allie, I know what you’re going through. I’ve been there myself. I know what it’s like. But keep fighting. There are people here that love you. Keep on fighting.

All: And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Marlena: Draw from our strength. Come back to us. I know you can do that. I know you can, allie. Come on back.

Demon allie: Stop this insanity or I’ll snap her neck. I’ll make henry a little orphan right now.

Marlena: You won’t do that. Allie, we love you. We know you’re there. Come back to us.

Demon allie: So be it.

[Bones crunching]

[All yelling]

Tripp: No! Leave her alone! Take me instead!

Shawn: Let me see my nephew. Oh. Hey, buddy. Hey. You know, you’re probably gonna be the first kid in history to be taught to handle a motorcycle by his mom.

[Laughter]

Ben: Yeah, not for a few more years.

Shawn: You know, your grandpa in heaven, he’d, uh– he’d be really happy right now. And we’re gonna tell you all about him when you get a little bit older. Want to meet your aunt belle? Look there.

Belle: Hi, little bo. Oh, we’re so happy to welcome you to our family. Remember to take a lot of pictures though, because the first year is full of changes, and you’re gonna want to remember all of them.

Shawn: Yeah, but make sure that you enjoy him.

Ciara: [Sighs] We absolutely will.

Belle: I remember when claire was that little.

Shawn: Yeah. I remember when she first started to walk. When she was standing there, holding onto that table and she just–she bravely just started walking. Actually, it was sort of a weird little jog.

Belle: Yeah. [Laughs]

Shawn: And she was, uh– she was pleased with herself.

Belle: Yeah, I remember that. Probably because we had it on video.

Shawn: Yeah, then we watched it about a thousand times.

[Cell phone ringing] Oh, here, I got to take this. Here. Here you go, buddy.

Ciara: Okay, come here.

Shawn: Um… uh, yeah, what’s up, jan?

Jan: I’m having a monster craving for a cheeseburger.

Shawn: Uh, I’m busy.

Jan: I thought you were off duty.

Shawn: I am, but I’m–

Jan: Please be sweet and do this for me. I can’t leave the house and I’m starving.

Tripp: I mean it. I mean it. You want to kill somebody? Kill me.

Marlena: Tripp, no, don’t!

Eric: No, we need to finish what we started.

Tripp: No. You heard him. He’s gonna kill her before you can finish the exorcism.

Demon allie: He’s right, you know.

Tripp: So come into me. Come into me, and let henry have his mom back. You want a soul? Take mine.

Demon allie: You mortals amaze me. You’re willing to sacrifice your life for some insipid little thing like allie horton?

Tripp: If that’s what you think about allie, then you aren’t as smart as you think you are.

Demon allie: You’re willing to die for someone who didn’t love you, who cheated on you. You were always her second choice, and I’m the one who’s stupid?

Tripp: I don’t care if allie would rather be with chanel. I still love her. She got to me like no one else ever did. She–she knew how to make me laugh and lighten up. And she made me feel not alone in this world.

Demon allie: And then she betrayed you.

Tripp: I still love her. And I always will. So come into me and I will gladly sacrifice my life if it means that she can live and raise henry. So come into me. Take me instead. I said come into me, you son of a bitch! Take me instead!

Johnny: Allie? Allie? Allie?

[Dramatic music]

With depression, you just feel…blah.

Ciara: How are you feeling, baby?

Ben: Better. I got knocked for a loop. Walking into that thing was like an electric fence. I can’t believe you just walked into that and got the baby.

Ciara: I cannot believe it either. And I can’t– I can’t even explain it to you, I really can’T. I just– I knew I needed to get to him. And I wasn’t sure if I was gonna be able to. And then there was this, like, warm, comforting light surrounding me. It made me feel strong. And the weird part is, I didn’t feel alone anymore. It was like–huh. Baby, please promise not to laugh at me when I say this.

Ben: Laugh? I would never laugh at you.

Ciara: It was like a– a presence.

Ben: What kind of presence?

[Air whooshing]

Ciara: Dad?

[Chimes tinkling]

Bo: Hey there, little one.

Kayla: Hope sounded so happy on the phone.

Belle: Yeah. Must’ve been bittersweet though, not having bo here to share in that.

Kayla: I think we’re all feeling that.

Belle: Yeah, right. I mean, I know shawn really misses his dad. I miss him too. Maybe he could’ve talked some sense into shawn.

Kayla: It seemed like the two of you were having a moment in there.

Belle: Yeah, I felt that too. And then he ran off to be with the mother of his new baby.

Jan: Want a french fry?

Shawn: Um, yeah. Yeah, sure. I–I haven’t eaten much today.

Jan: How’s ciara doing?

Shawn: She’s good. She’s good now that she’s back with her baby.

Jan: Did you see him?

Shawn: Mm-hmm. Yeah. They, um– they named him after my dad.

Jan: Aww. That’s so sweet. Maybe if our baby’s a girl we can name her after your mom. I had another name in mind, but hope is more meaningful.

Shawn: Uh, wouldn’t you want to name her after your mom, maybe?

Jan: Oh, god, no. She was a horrible person. God rest her soul. Besides, her name was gertrude. I am not sticking our child with a name like that. Can you imagine? Baby gert?

Shawn: Yeah. Yeah, probably not. You okay?

Jan: Yeah. I’m fine. I was just thinking how scared ciara must’ve been before she found her baby. Thank god she did.

Ciara: Ben, am i seeing things?

Ben: If you are, then I am too.

Ciara: Daddy?

Bo: [Echoing] In the flesh. Well, not exactly in the flesh. I’m the one who taught you how to remap a fuel injection system.

Ciara: It really is you. You came back.

[Baby cooing] You were at the cemetery.

Bo: Yeah. That was me.

Ciara: You saved his life. Honey, this is your granddad. Daddy, I named him bo.

Bo: Thank you for that.

Eric: Tripp? Can you hear me?

Demon tripp: Well, that was surprisingly easy. The boy didn’t even put up a fight. But it seems his sacrifice was for naught. Allie is still going to die, and by tripp’s own hands.

Marlena: No! God, no!

Tripp: No. I won’t let you hurt her.

John: Let me help you, son.

Tripp: There is no help. There’s only–

Marlena: Tripp! No! No!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sheila: I’m not going to prison because of an accident.

Steffy: Accident? What accident? You pointed the gun at me, and you shot me.

Sheila: I’m talking about what happened to finn, steffy. What jury is ever going to convict a grieving mother–

Ridge: What jury? Any jury! You killed your own son. You tried to kill my daughter!

Taylor: You came to the hospital, faking concern for steffy. Making all of us think that you needed consoling. That we should feel sorry for you. For your loss. Sheila, no one’s ever going to feel sorry for you again. You don’t deserve any sympathy for what you’ve done.

Ridge: The only thing you deserve is to be in jail.

Steffy: And that’s exactly what you’re going to get.

Brooke: Wishful thinking, I’d say.

Hope: What’s that?

Brooke: Oh, your father. Claiming that sheila might be able to talk her way into a place in steffy’s family.

Hope: Well, he did say that taylor was the one who called and invited her over, so he might actually know what he’s talking about.

Brooke: I wouldn’t put it past taylor to overlook all the things that sheila’s done through the years. But ridge? There’s no way he will ever accept sheila.

Brooke: I just feel for ridge right now. He’s dealing with a lot. And I wish I could be there for him. I wish we weren’t apart.

Hope: Well, see, that’s what we need to fix. The being apart part. Because we both know the two of you shouldn’t be.

Brooke: Yeah. I just feel so bad. The way I betrayed his trust. And you’re right. We shouldn’t be apart. We need to be together. If only I hadn’t–

[ Sighing ] I need to figure out what possessed me to drink that night. I know–

Hope: Mom, does there really need to be an explanation? Or, I mean, is it about the drinking, or– or is it about what the drinking lead to?

Sheila: You know how cruel you’re being right now.

Taylor: Cruel? Confronting you with the truth is–

Sheila: No, no– you brought me here with lies. You made me believe that I was going to get to see my grandson. All I wanted to do was put that terrible night behind me. And find a way to move on. I’m burdened with so much guilt. Guilt that I am carrying because you, steffy.

Steffy: You’re the one who pulled out a gun.

Sheila: Oh. Poor, precious steffy. Did I come after you that night? Did I get in your face and tell you who you could have in your life? No. And when I tried de-escalating the situation by leaving, what did you do? You came after me! Berating me! You are just as guilty.

Ridge: Shut up! I can’t listen to that voice anymore! What is wrong with you? You should be in an institution somewhere! You like to hurt people, don’t you? You’re sick.

Taylor: Ridge. Ridge, she is not worth it.

Ridge: Sick! I just want her to pay.

Steffy: She will. And I hope it’s excruciating. Every second you spend behind bars, rotting for the rest of your miserable life. Like pulsing, electric shocks,

Brooke: I’m not trying to find excuses, honey. I’m not. What I did with deacon was wrong. And obviously it never would have happened if I was sober. So, if I could just figure out… what triggered me that night, then maybe I could start forgiving myself for what happened after.

Hope: Yes, but mom, I mean. Oh, I don’t know how many times I have to keep reminding you, but you were inebriated and yes, you two kissed. But I mean, dad helped you up the stairs. He put you to bed and looked after you, because he was worried. I– nothing more happened.

Brooke: Honey, it doesn’t make me regret it any less. It doesn’t make me regret defending deacon. I– there has to be an answer. There has to be.

Sheila: I want you to think about something, steffy. And I know that’s gonna be very difficult for you, because all you always do is think about yourself. But I want you to try, okay? What would finn do if he were standing here right now?

Steffy: Finn’s not standing here. He’s never coming back.

Sheila: He would tell you to have compassion, and understanding that I made a terrible mistake.

Steffy: A mistake that you killed your own son instead of me? There is no compassion heading your way. Now, if you want to keep telling yourself finn would have shown you kindness, had he lived? Go for it. Knock yourself out. But deep down, you know that’s a lie.

Sheila: Taylor, would you just please say something to her?

Taylor: Don’t look at me like I’m your friend. I– I am not going to take your side on this, or anything else ever again.

Ridge: Hey sheila, do you know what brings me great joy? It’s the fact that you’re gonna die in prison. And not because of us, but because of you. Choices you made, decisions you made. Do you have an idea how much pain you’ve cause my family? My children, when you took their mother away? And now you had to do it again. Leave steffy with her little boy. I hate you. I hate everything about you.

[ Steffy sobbing ] I’m sorry. I’m sorry.

Steffy: This is why I wanted you to stay away from my family. I was adamant you stayed away from my son. Because I saw through your lies. Finn didn’T. And now he’s gone. I couldn’t protect my husband, but I will protect my son. You’ve already caused him so much damage taking finn away. Your grandson will grow up without a father. God–

Sheila: You have no idea how sorry I am about that. But I’m not going to prison. I promise you that. What have you done? No. No!

Baker: We’ve got more than enough. You can take that wire off now.

Sheila: What is this?

Baker: I’ve been in the back room, listening to everything. You’re going back to prison, sheila.

Sheila: No!

Baker: For a very long time.

Sheila: No!

Baker: You’re under arrest. For the attempted murder of steffy forrester. And for the murder of your own son, dr. John finnegan.

[ Sheila grunting ] Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches

Hope: Please, stop beating yourself up, mom. Seriously, you have– you’ve apologized enough for what happened. And obsessing over it isn’t going to do you any good.

Brooke: I know, hope. But don’t you understand? I mean, if there is an answer, if there’s some kind of explanation.

Hope: Then maybe you would feel better that it won’t happen again. No, I do get it. I understand.

Brooke: And, I would feel better if ridge could trust me again. After everything with deacon.

Hope: Ridge knows that you would have never turned to my dad, if it wasn’t for the alcohol. Or at least, he should know that.

[ Sighing ]

Brooke: I hope so. I don’t want any other man, but ridge.

Ridge: Get her outta here.

Baker: You have the right to remain silent.

Sheila: No, wait.

Baker: Anything you say–

Sheila: Wait, I’ve got something to say.

Baker: Can and will be used against you in a court of law.

Sheila: I just wanna say my piece.

Steffy: You’re never going to get your piece. But say what you need to say before they haul you away.

Baker: Go ahead.

Sheila: You’re all so certain. That I intended harm. For you, when I cam back, but that’s– I just wanted to meet my son. I wanted to maybe, just maybe, be part of his life, that’s all that this was. All it ever was. But steffy, you– you just refused to let that happen. You kept saying that I had no place here. You wouldn’t even let finn speak for himself. No, you just wouldn’t– wouldn’t stop. You were so relentless.

Taylor: And look what happened.

Sheila: None of you will ever understand, what it’s like to have somebody love you. And you love them back unconditionally. But you’ve never had to… even think about that. Something that you take for granted. But I don’T. I was hoping that just maybe, this– this time was going to be my chance. My chance was going to be finn. And now he’s gone. And I never– I would never hurt him. I love him.

Steffy: Sheila, whatever toxic version of love you provide, isn’t something finn would have ever wanted. You’re just an ugly reminder of where he came from. Something he tried his damnedest to forget. And exactly what I’m faced with now. Forgetting you. The damage that you caused. You destroyed my family. But you didn’t destroy me. I’m going to come back stronger than ever, and I’m going to raise my son to be exactly like finn. Strong and compassionate. I’m going to raise him to be the opposite of you. He’s not even going to know the name sheila carter. He’s not even going to know you exist. You’re going to be completely erased. Because people like you, you’re not loved. You’re forgotten. Goodbye, sheila. Take her away.

Sheila: You think– you think that this is over. You think that– that I’m not coming back? I’m coming back for hayes. Hayes is going to love me regardless. He’s going to love me. You’re making a mistake. You’re all making a mistake. You haven’t seen the last of me. I will be back! I was on an antidepressant,

Taylor: Don’t worry about what sheila said. There’s no way she’s coming back.

Steffy: I know, it’s just– I don’t like the way she talked about hayes. Wanting his love.

Ridge: I wouldn’t worry about any of that. It’s not going to happen. She’s not going to get out of jail, after what she’s done. As awful as it is, it’s–

[ Sighing softly ] It’s nice to have my memory back. I have the answers.

Taylor: Yeah. We have a lot of answers now. We know what happened to brooke.

Ridge: It’s been haunting her. She wanted to know why she started drinking again.

Taylor: You should go tell her. Tell her what happened.

Ridge: I’m not leaving you guys. Not after today.

Taylor: She needs to know.

Steffy: She does.

Taylor: Get out of here.

Brooke: I’m not giving up on him, hope. I’m not.

Hope: Uh, nor should you, not after everything the two of you have been through.

Brooke: I know, I’ve lost faith before. And I’ve questioned whether ridge and I should be together. Thinking maybe he’s better off with taylor. But I know that’s not true. Ridge and I will find a way through this. We have to.

Steffy: I knew sheila was deranged, but– my god. She shot me. She killed her own son because I was confronting her about brooke. It’s just so crazy to me. Like she knew she was in the wrong.

Taylor: Oh honey, I don’t think she did. I think in her– in her own twisted way, she thought that brooke deserved it.

Steffy: It worries me. If this could change things for you and dad.

[ Loud knock ]

Brooke: Ridge.

Ridge: Hi.

Brooke: Hi. I didn’t realize you were stopping by. Is everything okay? What’s wrong?

Ridge: I– wrong–

[ Stammering ] You have no idea.

Brooke: Oh! You’re scaring me. Tell me what it is.

Ridge: I don’t know where to start.

Brooke: Is it steffy? Is she okay?

Ridge: No, steffy’s fine. Everything’s fine. She’s um– do you know how– how she had holes in her memory?

Brooke: She was blocking out the trauma of the shooting?

Ridge: Yeah. Well, she remembers now.

Brooke: Well, that’s good. I mean, maybe not for her. Maybe it was difficult, but she can now help the police. And maybe they can find out who finn’s shooter is.

Ridge: Oh, they found out.

Brooke: Who?

Ridge: They found out who she was.

Brooke: She?

Ridge: She. Yes.

[ Heavy sigh ]

Ridge: Sheila.

Brooke: Sheila? Sheila shot steffy? And she killed her own son? And then she took their stuff and made it look like a robbery.

Brooke: Oh, my god.

Ridge: She’s disgusting.

Brooke: I can’t believe this. Well, the police have her, right?

Ridge: Now that she’s in custody, she’s confessed everything. She’s going to spend the rest of her days behind bars.

Brooke: Well, do you think that’s even possible? I mean, she’s gone for good?

Ridge: She’s not going to hurt steffy, or taylor, or you, ever again.

Brooke: But I’m the lucky one. She hasn’t done anything to me for years. Except idle threats–

Ridge: That’s not true. Hasn’t been years. Steffy remembered something else. She remembered why she went to the restaurant. She went there to confront sheila.

Brooke: Confront her about?

Ridge: About new year’s eve. You said there was a trigger. And there was. Sheila.

Brooke: I don’t understand.

Ridge: She switched the labels on the champagne bottles. You thought you were drinking non-alcoholic champagne. And she made sure it was the real thing.

Brooke: I knew it. I knew it. I knew there was a reason. I wasn’t drinking on my own!

Ridge: No. It was sheila. She did that to you. I’m so sorry.

Brooke: Oh!

Young & The Restless Update

Recap written by Christine

At Top of the Tower, Kyle stated that weddings were usually solemn occasions; they had to be when two people were declaring their love in front of everyone. While Mariah and Tessa were serious about their love, Kyle promised the guests that this wedding would be the funkiest grooviest most bad-ass wedding the guests ever attended. Everyone clapped and cheered. Tessa and Mariah wrote their own vows. Tessa had given up on love, but Mariah broke down all her walls and embraced every side of her. Their connection filled Mariah’s soul and inspired her. Every song she wrote was about Mariah and the love they shared. “Everything that I’ve learned about love is because of you.” Tessa couldn’t wait for their future. She promised to be a partner, best friend, champion and shoulder to lean on, now and always. Tessa and Mariah were both in tears. Diane stood in the shadows and watched Kyle officiate the ceremony. The brides exchanged rings, and Kyle announced them officially married. Mariah and Tessa stared into each other’s eyes, then they shared their first kiss as wives. Everyone applauded.

Mariah had wanted this for so long, but she couldn’t believe she was here. Growing up, wishes like this didn’t come true for Mariah. Two miracles happened for Mariah – she met her mom and learned to love, so she was ready when Tessa came along. At the time, Mariah just thought she’d met an amazing person who’d become her friend. Jack looked at Phyllis. Mariah recalled their first date – the one Kyle set up. When Tessa held Mariah’s hand, it felt right. Mariah was grateful for Tessa. She thought Tessa was magic, and everything she touched turned to gold. Mariah said they were going to start their own family, and that would be golden too. Mariah took Tessa’s hand and promised to be with her, through good times and bad. “I love you and I am yours. Today, tomorrow and forever.”

Allie was at the Abbott house when Summer came in. The role of Summer is now being played by Allison Lanier. Summer introduced herself to Allie, who helped her with her bags. Summer laughed about her inability to pack light for this trip and said she was her mother’s daughter. Allie mentioned that Phyllis was one of the big reasons she was here. Phyllis supported Allie and Jack spending time together. Summer said Allie must’ve passed the test, because Phyllis was super-protective of Jack and of everyone she loved. Allie saw that side of Phyllis when she found out Kyle’s mom was alive. Summer said this whole thing had been hard on Kyle. Summer said her flight was delayed, so she was late, but they’d better get dressed and get to the wedding. Allie wasn’t planning to go.

Summer said that she was sure Allie was invited. Allie said Jack asked her to attend, but she wasn’t comfortable going. She’d never even met the happy couple. Summer said that they were the more-the-merrier types, and if Mariah wanted Summer there, she’d surely welcome Allie. Summer said as big of a pain as Mariah was, she was Kyle’s best friend, and Tessa was pretty cool. Allie was a big fan of Tessa’s music. Summer was sure they’d missed the boring parts of the wedding, and by the time they got there, the party would be started. Allie wasn’t a party person. Summer teased that Allie shouldn’t stay in this probably haunted house by herself. Allie agreed to go, but she didn’t have any clothes, but Summer had plenty of stuff in her suitcase.

Faith announced Mariah and Tessa on the dance floor, and they shared their first dance as a married couple. They marveled that they did it. As they watched, Nick told Sharon he knew she was thinking Rey would’ve loved this. That was exactly what she was thinking. She knew he would’ve declared this the most beautiful wedding he’d ever seen since theirs. Nick said Rey and Cassie were here. Kevin and Chloe talked. He told her there was a time he thought Mariah and Tessa wouldn’t make it, but they taught him that the power of love could conquer all. Chloe lightly smacked Kevin and his and her love should’ve taught him that. Everything they’d been through should’ve proved that if two people were meant to be, they were meant to be, she said. He said he and Chloe were written in the stars, and there was never any doubting their love. Chloe said a few years ago, this wedding wouldn’t have happened because it wasn’t legal. She felt that two people should be able to marry whoever they wanted – that was the true power of love. He agreed, then he lead her out to the dance floor. Tessa and Mariah were deliriously happy. They kissed. Many of the guests were on the dance floor. Tessa needed a break. Mariah protested because this was a dance competition, and she wanted them to get the grand prize. Tessa said she already had the grand prize. Amanda, Abby and Chance came up to congratulate the couple. Mariah wanted to dance with all of them before the night was over.

Noah and Crystal caught up, and she accepted his offer to dance. Summer and Allie walked in, and Kyle rushed to his wife and hugged her. Summer told Kyle they had a lot to talk about. Kyle apologized because he didn’t notice Allie at first. She told him he didn’t need to apologize for being happy to see his wife. Jack and Phyllis went over to hug Summer. Jack told Allie she looked beautiful. He accurately guessed that Summer dragged Allie here, and alluded to Summer inheriting her persuasiveness from Phyllis. Allie was uncomfortable in the crowd, but she consented when Jack offered to show her around. Summer told Allie she was doing great. Phyllis saw that Summer and Kyle wanted time alone, so she walked off. Diane watched Summer and Kyle kiss.

Amanda was curious when she learned Mariah and Tessa were going on a honeymoon to a confidential locale. Tessa and Amanda went off to chat. Devon was so happy for Mariah. She was happy he was here to celebrate. He said they’d been through friendship, business, dating, friendship again, and she’d helped bring an amazing new life into the world. He said she was glowing today. She said marriage was turning her into a sap. She said she wouldn’t be here or with Tessa without Devon. She started crying, and they hugged, while Tessa and Amanda smiled at them.

Abby loved Allie’s dress. Allie said Summer helped her. Abby adopted a strained smile. Jack wanted Allie to meet Chance, but Chance said they met briefly earlier. He welcomed her to Genoa City. Jack excused himself and Allie, so they could greet the happy couple. Allie met Mariah and Tessa, and they welcomed her warmly. Allie said Summer told her they’d react this way. Mariah said Summer was a lot to take, but she and Kyle were perfect together.

Amanda ended up with Phyllis. She thought it was significant that Jack invited Phyllis to the wedding. Amanda noted that Phyllis said she and Jack were just friends, but people didn’t just attend weddings together as buddies. Phyllis said Jack just invited her because Summer would be here, but Amanda didn’t buy it.

Summer reunited with Faith and Nick. Faith was brimming with questions about Milan, but Nick guided her away so Kyle and Summer could talk. Kyle was glad Summer was here. He needed her, and he wanted to talk in person, not just in video chat. Diane grew more bold, and she entered the room and looked around. She tensed up when she saw Phyllis glaring at her. Phyllis was going to confront Diane when Jack walked up and expressed relief to get one night where he didn’t have to think about Diane. Diane resumed hiding, and Phyllis distracted Jack by pulling him out to the dance floor.

Jack was enjoying himself on the dance floor, and that made Phyllis happy because she had something to tell him. She told him not to worry, because she had it under control, but Diane was here. Jack was angry, but not surprised. Phyllis said her first instinct was to rush Diane, but she didn’t want to ruin Mariah and Tessa’s night. Phyllis thought Diane just wanted to watch Kyle. Jack said she’d better not make a scene. Phyllis said she wouldn’t let that happen.

Noah and Crystal were talking about his life in London when Abby came up to welcome Crystal back and speak highly of Rey for what he’d done. Abby couldn’t imagine what Crystal had been through. Crystal had put it all behind her. Abby said to let her know if she needed anything. Crystal heard from Tessa that Abby was doing well and had a husband and baby. Abby had never been happier.

Chance approached Sharon and noted that she’d been by herself most of the night. He correctly concluded that she was thinking about Rey. She said someone told her Rey was here tonight, probably on the dance floor. Chance was sure that was true. He encouraged Sharon to get out there and have some joy too.

Summer congratulated Mariah and Tessa. Mariah was skeptical of the sentiment. Summer thought everyone deserved a chance at love and happiness, even Mariah. Summer hugged Tessa, but she got rebuffed when she went to hug Mariah. Summer thought the dresses were perfect, so much nicer than what Mariah usually wore. Mariah said Summer hadn’t changed. Summer was just joking. Motherhood and marriage changed Summer a lot, and she knew that Mariah and Tessa would have that experience too. Summer thought it would be awesome for them, and they deserved it. Mariah was waiting for the jab, but Summer sincerely wished them nothing but happiness. Tessa and Kyle encouraged Mariah to say thanks, and she grudgingly did. Kyle spotted his mother and excused himself to confront her.

Kyle noted that Diane had showed up at the house unannounced and now she was here. He wanted to know what she was doing. She said she wanted to watch him officiate. He wasn’t happy she came at all, but he stated that the wedding had been over for awhile, and she was still here. She wasn’t planning to make a grand announcement or anything. He didn’t care. He didn’t want the event to become about her, so he wanted her to leave. She asked if she could say hi to Summer before she left. He thought that could wait. She said that Summer was his wife and her daughter in law so it would mean a lot to her. Before anything could happen, Kevin took center stage.

Kevin gave his man of honor speech. He said it had been a long road full of twists and turn, but he was so happy Tessa and Mariah made it. He told them that everyone in the room was crazy about them, and they’d all been rooting for this couple for years. “Your happiness is our happiness. Your joy is our joy and your love is our love.” Everyone raised a glass. Tessa and Mariah thanked everyone for coming. “Even Summer,” Mariah said. Tessa teased Mariah about being weepy. They said the party had been a little tame, but now it was time for the real party to begin. Everyone got back on the dance floor.

Update written by Joseph

Belle goes to the Brady Pub and asks Eric if there’s any update on Allie or Ciara’s baby. Eric says not yet but Roman is on his way back to take over so he can go back to the search. Eric is sure that Shawn must be working around the clock. Belle remarks that she hasn’t heard from him as things are still not good between them. Eric says he’s sorry and brings up the last time they spoke, Belle said she was ready to move back in. Belle reveals that she was, but Jan Spears beat her to it and Jan is now living in her family’s home with her husband.

John goes to the police station and tells Shawn that he heard Evan was arrested. Shawn confirms he’s awaiting transfer back to the prison. John asks if he said anything about Allie. Shawn informs him that Evan claims he doesn’t know where they are but he did tell them what the Devil has planned for Ben and Ciara’s baby. Shawn reveals that the Devil wants the baby to be his permanent host body on Earth, so if they don’t stop him, he’s going to take control of his nephew’s body and soul.

Marlena leaves the DiMera Mansion and gets a call from Tripp, who hoped she had news about Allie. Marlena informs him that they think she is heading to the cemetery with the baby. Tripp asks if she knows they are alright. Marlena informs him that Allie is still possessed and Johnny went to the cemetery half an hour ago so she’s waiting to hear from him.

The Devil tells Charlie that once the Ritual of Transference is completed, he can get rid of Johnny and Allie. The Devil then places his hands on baby Bo but Ben and Ciara ride up on their motorcycle. Ciara tells The Devil to get the hell away from her son. The Devil responds that he won’t be her son much longer when they become one. Ciara says not while she’s around. Ben tells Ciara to stay back while he gets the baby. Charlie warns Ben not to do that. Ben steps forward but is knocked out by the Devil’s powers. Charlie says he tried to warn him. Charlie argues that they wasted their time coming because his boss has already won this battle.

John assures Shawn that they won’t let the Devil take the baby. Shawn says they have to find him first. Shawn gets a text that Jan’s ankle monitor went off so she must have reached the perimeter of the house. John asks if it didn’t occur to him that Jan might try to take off. Shawn says he doesn’t like Jan living in his house any more than John or Belle does. John tells Shawn to find Allie and the baby while he will deal with Jan Spears because he doesn’t want her anywhere near Belle. John then exits the station.

Eric tells Belle that he doesn’t understand the agreement since Jan is a threat to their community. Belle explains that Shawn talked to the warden about Jan’s high risk pregnancy so they let her out on house arrest and Shawn had to agree because he wasn’t going to let her go back to prison with his baby. Eric encourages Belle not to let this destroy her marriage. Belle asks what she is supposed to do since she is not going to go live with Jan but Shawn feels responsible for the baby. Belle says they are at a standoff and she doesn’t see that ending any time soon.

Marlena assures Tripp that she will call him as soon as she hears from John, Ben and Ciara, or Shawn. Tripp decides he’s going out there. Marlena asks what he can do. Tripp responds that he’s a doctor and he’s not just going to sit around while Allie goes through this. Marlena notes that it sounds like Tripp cares about her. Tripp admits he told himself that he didn’t but that was just his wounded ego, he loves Allie and will do whatever he can to get her out of this nightmare.

Ciara checks Ben’s pulse and is relieved that he is still alive. Ciara tells The Devil that she’s not going to let him get away with this as it’s her baby and she wants him back. Charlie warns that Ciara will fry just like Ben did if she tries. Ciara prays for the strength to fight this battle. A light shines down, confusing Charlie, so Ciara uses this power to try and fight The Devil. Johnny regains consciousness and is surprised to see Ciara. Charlie tells the Devil that they have a problem. The Devil looks to Ciara and says that’s impossible as Ciara calls out to her baby that she’s coming to save him.

Eric asks Belle if Jan will have to go back after having the baby but admits it’s a hard one. Belle declares that Jan has made sure the baby will tie her to Shawn, so she will be in his life forever. Eric tells Belle that she can either let it defeat her or she can hold onto her marriage and fight for it. Belle gets a text from John that Jan’s ankle monitor went off, so he’s on his way there to check it out. Belle worries that Jan could be on the loose and wonders what she’s going to do this time.

John goes to Shawn and Belle’s house. Jan comes out in a night gown, surprised to see John. John says it looks like she put that on for nothing. Jan asks what he’s doing here. John explains that he was with Shawn when Jan’s ankle monitor went off, so he decided to come check on her for him. John adds that Shawn thought Jan might have taken off but he knew she would be right here. Jan argues that she’s on bed rest for the rest of her pregnancy. John asks about the ankle monitor going off. Jan admits she was bored and wanted Shawn to come home to keep her company. John informs her that it looks like she’s stuck with him instead. Jan says he doesn’t have to stay as everything is fine. John says he was actually looking for time alone with her. Jan asks if he’s going to choke her in to another coma. John responds that it’s tempting but no, he’s going to lay out all the reasons why she’s going to stay away from Belle.

Shawn finishes a call with the prison, arguing that he doesn’t care how under staffed they are as he wants Evan off of his hands as soon as possible. Marlena arrives and questions Shawn not answering her calls. Shawn apologizes and says he’s had his hands full with Evan in the interrogation room and Jan’s ankle monitor went off which John is taking care of. Marlena tells Shawn that she will go there when she can. Marlena reveals that she, Johnny, and Susan think they made contact with Allie and it seems she has taken the baby to the cemetery so Ben and Johnny are on their way there. Marlena thinks they need back up and the help of the police on this.

Johnny calls out to Ciara, asking if he can help her. Ciara manages to knock the Devil back and reunites with her baby Bo. Ciara picks up her baby and assures that he’s safe now. The Devil argues that she hasn’t vanquished him and he will win this yet. Charlie asks what’s happening. The Devil complains that the forces of good are at work. Ciara declares that he will never get the baby away from her. The Devil shouts that he has to get away from the light and runs off. Charlie asks where he’s going and if he should go with him. Charlie yells that Ciara ruined everything as he was supposed to raise the baby. Ciara tells him that was never going to happen. Charlie declares that if he doesn’t get to be the father, then neither does Ben. Charlie raises a knife and goes to Ben as Ciara yells for him to stop.

Jan tells John that she couldn’t care less about Belle because everything is different and she is going to be a mother, so her child is her only focus. John doesn’t believe her. Jan claims that Belle doesn’t register on her radar anymore since she walked out on Shawn, so he will be free of her soon. Jan declares that she and Shawn will then raise their baby together and they will be a family. John informs Jan that Shawn and Belle have broken up before but they always find their way back to each other. Jan remarks that everything is different now that she’s carrying Shawn’s baby since a child has a way of bonding the two people who created it. Jan compares it to John and Marlena having an affair until Belle cemented their relationship. John says that’s not how it happened. Jan assures it will happen for her and Shawn.

Eric encourages Belle that if Jan were on the loose, John would have already called her by now and she has to play by different rules since she’s dealing with a high risk pregnancy. Belle gets a text from John, confirming that he’s with Jan at the house. Eric calls that one less thing she has to worry about. Belle hopes for good news about Allie and the baby.

Ciara pleads with Charlie to leave Ben alone. Charlie tells her to say goodbye to Ben. Tripp then arrives and knocks out Charlie from behind with a baseball bat. Ciara thanks Tripp and assures they are fine, but points out Ben is unconscious. Tripp goes to check on Ben and notes that his pulse is steady and reacting so he should be okay. Tripp asks about Allie. Ciara informs him that she ran towards the church and Johnny went after her. Tripp decides to go after them and asks how they are going to get to the hospital since they can’t take the motorcycle. Ben starts to wake up. Ciara says she has her phone so it’s okay. Ciara asks Tripp to be careful.

Devil Allie enters St Luke’s church, remarking that after 25 years, they have come full circle, flashing back to when Devil Marlena destroyed the church and set it on fire. Devil Allie calls it a fitting place for the grand finale and heads up the stairs.

Ben holds his baby for the first time and says he’s perfect. Ben tells baby Bo that he’s his dad and he loves him very much. Ben tells Ciara that she saved him. Ciara declares that the three of them are a family now and are going to protect each other forever.

Jan tells John that she’s already come up with names for the baby and asks what he thinks of “Britney” for a girl or “Lucifer” for a boy which John questions. Marlena then arrives and Jan greets her as Lucifer and goes to hug her but Marlena informs her that she’s not possessed anymore. Jan calls that a bummer because Lucifer was the best friend she ever had except for Claire. Marlena asks John if they can talk privately. Marlena and John then get a text from Johnny. John declares that Johnny is going to need their help.

Belle gets a text that Johnny followed Allie to St. Luke’s Church. Eric decides he’s going. Belle wants to go with him but Eric doesn’t think she should. Belle argues that Allie is her niece. Eric feels the fewer people means the less chance of the Devil finding a host body. Belle insists on wanting to help, so Eric tells her to just pray while he, John, and Marlena handle the rest. Belle tells him to be careful and wishes him luck as they hug. Eric then exits the Pub.

Devil Allie pours gasoline around the upper floor of the church, complaining about the people of Salem thinking they got rid of him. Tripp arrives and sees Johnny holding his head, so he asks if he’s alright. Johnny informs him that Charlie knocked his head into a grave stone. Tripp assures that Charlie got his and asks where Allie is. Johnny thinks she went up to the old choir loft and he was going to go after her but he sent a text to his family for backup. Tripp tells Johnny to wait for them but he’s going up there. Johnny then decides to go with him so they head up the stairs together. The Devil declares that he may have lost his new vessel on Earth but he’s going out in a blaze of glory and taking Allie with him. As Johnny and Tripp rush in, Johnny yells for Allie to stop. The Devil tells them that they couldn’t have picked a better time to arrive as they will have a front row seat to the spectacle. Johnny smells the gasoline. Tripp argues that he can’t set fire to the church. The Devil points out that he’s done it before but this time it will burn to the ground and take half of Salem with it. Johnny tries to urge Allie to fight The Devil. The Devil says that Allie has given up. Tripp brings up Allie’s son, Henry. Allie starts fighting the Devil from within. Tripp and Johnny continue talking about Henry needing Allie and trying to bring her back to them. The Devil declares it’s too late as they treated her like dirt. Johnny argues that he and Allie love each other as he tries to convince her to come back. Tripp tells her to fight. The Devil struggles but manages to knock Johnny across the room. Johnny gets up and says he’s okay. The Devil declares that Johnny and Allie are no match for his powers, so now church and the three of them are all going down in flames.

Belle exits the Pub and runs in to Shawn. Belle says she just got a text from Johnny that Ben and Ciara found the baby and Allie. Shawn confirms that they are taking the baby to get checked out to be safe since Ciara doesn’t know what’s going on with Allie but she was heading to St. Luke’s. Belle informs him that Johnny followed her and Eric is on his way there now. Belle asks if that’s where Shawn is heading. Shawn says there are cops all over St. Luke’s and they have been told to stand back and hold their fire, so if they don’t need him, he’s not going to believe the baby is okay until he sees it with his own eyes. Belle asks to go with him if that’s okay with him. Shawn says that would be great so they walk off together.

Ben and Ciara arrive at the hospital with their baby and show him to Kayla, who calls him beautiful. Kayla asks for the name. Ciara informs her that the baby’s name is Bo Brady Weston. Kayla says that Ciara’s dad Bo would be so proud. Kayla says the baby looks just fine. Ben says they want to hear it from her and nobody else. Kayla says she has a room ready so they go together.

The Devil tells Johnny and Tripp to say their prayers as he raises a lit candle. The flame suddenly goes out of the candle. The Devil says it can’t be. Eric, Marlena, and John then arrive. Eric recites bible verses as the Devil raises a bigger torch but Marlena raises her cross necklace to cause the flame to go out while John throws holy water on Devil Allie. Eric declares he will once again cast out the demon. The Devil remarks that he hopes Eric’s been practicing since he’s only grown stronger since the last exorcism when he took over the next warm body and wreaked havoc on their lives. The Devil suggests maybe next time he’ll try Eric. Marlena shouts that the Devil is done tormenting her family and tells him to go back to Hell. The Devil brings up everything they’ve been through together. Marlena argues that he tried to destroy her, her friends, and her family but it failed because the people in this town love and care about each other. Marlena declares that love will always triumph over evil. The Devil shouts that she has always underestimated his power. John argues that they have the Devil cornered and tells him to go back to where he came from and leave their granddaughter’s body now. The Devil remarks that he was growing tired of Allie anyway, so he will leave her to them but only after killing her in front of them.

Kayla tells Ben and Ciara that their son is in perfect health. Shawn and Belle arrive and join them with hugs. Ben tells them that Ciara was amazing at the cemetery. Ciara worries that Allie still needs their help. Belle explains that Johnny texted them and Eric is on his way to the church with Marlena and John, so she thinks they are going to try an exorcism. Shawn mentions speaking to Rafe and they have the whole church surrounded with cops. Ciara hopes that works as she’s really scared for Allie. Belle encourages that they have God on their side and their family is fierce.

Marlena yells for The Devil to leave her granddaughter alone. The Devil responds that Marlena should’ve let him stay in her because now she’s going to have Allie’s death on her hands. John warns that they will not let the Devil hurt Allie. Eric calls for them to join hands and recite the Our Father prayer. The Devil commands them to stop. Marlena tries to get through to Allie as Devil Allie drops to her knees. Marlena talks about knowing what Allie is going through and urges her to keep on fighting and to draw from their strength to come back to them. The Devil warns them to stop this insanity or he will snap Allie’s neck. Marlena continues talking about how they love her. The Devil then starts to snap Allie’s neck but Tripp yells for The Devil to leave her alone and take him instead.

Ciara hands her baby to Shawn. Shawn jokes about Ciara teaching her kid to ride a motorcycle. Shawn mentions that their father Bo would be really happy right now and he will tell baby Bo all about him. Belle reminds them to take a lot of pictures. Shawn advises them to make sure they enjoy their baby. Belle recalls when Claire was that little. Shawn reminisces on Claire learning to walk. Shawn and Belle talk about having it on video. Shawn hands the baby back to Ciara as he gets a phone call from Jan. Jan tells Shawn that she is craving a cheeseburger. Shawn says he’s busy. Jan thought he was off duty and asks him to be sweet and do this for her because she can’t leave the house and she’s starving.

Tripp tells the Devil to kill him if he wants to kill somebody. Marlena tells him not to. Eric wants to finish what they started but Tripp worries that The Devil will kill Allie before they finish the exorcism. The Devil warns that he’s right. Tripp asks the Devil to come in to him and let Henry have Allie back while taking his soul. The Devil is amazed that Tripp is willing to sacrifice his life for Allie when she didn’t love him and cheated on him as he was always her second choice. Tripp doesn’t care if Allie would rather be with Chanel as he still loves her since she got to him like no one else ever did. Tripp adds that Allie made him feel not alone in this world. The Devil points out that she then betrayed him. Tripp repeats that he still loves her and he always will. Tripp tells The Devil to come in to him and he will gladly sacrifice his life if it means Allie can live and raise Henry. Tripp calls upon The Devil to take him instead. Allie then collapses as Johnny calls out to her. Tripp looks up, revealing he is now possessed by The Devil.

Ciara asks Ben how he’s feeling. Ben says he’s feeling better after being knocked for a loop by the Devil while he can’t believe Ciara just walked in to that and got their baby. Ciara can’t explain it but knew she needed to get to their baby. Ciara says there was a warm comforting light surrounding her that made her feel strong. Ciara adds that it was like a presence. Ben asks what kind of presence. Ciara then sees a bright light shine in to the room. Ciara calls out to her dad as she envisions her father, Bo Brady, dressed in all white and walking in from the bright light to greet her.

Kayla tells Belle at the hospital that Hope sounded so happy on the phone. Belle feels it must have been bittersweet not having Bo to share in that. Kayla thinks they are all feeling that. Belle knows Shawn really misses his dad as she does too. Kayla wonders if Bo could’ve talked some sense in to Shawn. Kayla felt like they were having a moment. Belle admits she felt that too but then Shawn ran off to be with the mother of his new baby.

Shawn goes home and brings Jan a cheeseburger. Jan asks how Ciara is doing. Shawn says she’s good now that she’s back with her baby. Jan asks if he saw the baby. Shawn confirms he did and that they named it after his dad. Jan suggests naming their baby after his mom if they have a girl. Jan mentions having a name in mind but says Hope is more meaningful. Shawn questions Jan not wanting to name it after her own mom. Jan says no because her mom was a horrible person and she’s not naming their child Gertrude. Jan feels her stomach, so Shawn asks if she’s okay. Jan says she’s fine but was just thinking how scared Ciara must have been before finding her baby and thanks God that she did find her.

Ciara asks Ben if she’s seeing things as she envisions her dad, Bo. Ben responds that if she is, then he is too. Bo speaks as Ciara asks if it’s really him and he came back. Bo says it’s him but he’s not really in the flesh. Ciara guesses he was the presence at the cemetery which Bo confirms. Ciara cries that he saved her son’s life. Ciara tells her baby that this is her granddad. Ciara tells Bo that she named her son Bo. Bo thanks her for that.

Eric asks if Tripp can hear him. The Devil responds that was surprisingly easy as Tripp didn’t even put up a fight, but it seems as if his sacrifice was for nothing because Allie is still going to die and by Tripp’s own hands. Devil Tripp goes to choke Allie on the ground. Marlena screams while Tripp’s voice inside says he won’t let the Devil hurt her. John tries to stop Devil Tripp and says to let him help. Tripp suddenly pulls back and says there is no help. Tripp then runs and dives through the second story window as Marlena screams. Eric and John rush to the window and look out to see Tripp lying bloody in a pile of glass on the ground outside.

Young & The Restless Update

Recap written by Christine

It was the morning of Mariah’s wedding. At the cottage, and Sharon served Faith orange juice and Mariah a mimosa. Faith toasted to the best sister a girl could ever have, with an aside not to mention that to Summer. Mariah promised to put that in the vault. Faith said Mariah always had her back, and today, Faith had Mariah’s. Faith said she was on top of the wedding, so all Mariah had to do was relax and enjoy her day. Sharon went upstairs to do something, and her daughters talked. Mariah asked how Sharon was really doing. Faith thought she was doing pretty well, considering. Mariah was glad Sharon had the wedding to focus on. Faith asked if she should call Kevin, so he could get ready with them – he was Mariah’s man of honor. Mariah didn’t think Kevin would want to be there while they were arguing over curling irons. Sharon returned with a silver platter that had an embroidered handkerchief and some jewelry on it. Something old and something new. Mariah got choked up, as it sank in that it really was their wedding day.

Not long after Sharon found out Mariah was her daughter, she gave her a garnet necklace. The bracelet on the platter was a companion piece that used to belong to Cassie. It was something old. Mariah and Sharon had been thinking about Cassie so much in the last few days. Sharon said Cassie loved a wedding. The new item was a set of toe rings inscribed with the latitude and longitude of Mariah and Tessa’s first date. There was one ring for each of them. “So we can always find our way back to the beginning,” Mariah said. She loved the gift, which was from Faith. The borrowed item was a handkerchief that Rey’s grandmother carried on her wedding day. Rey gave it to Sharon on their wedding day, and she was loaning it to Mariah. Mariah said Rey was the reason Crystal was here – he knew how much family meant, and he gave them one more person to love and to witness their happiness. The blue gift was also from Faith. It was a blue stone that reminded Faith of Mariah. It was supposed to have calming properties. Faith had carried it with her when Sharon was sick, when Faith was in the hospital, and on her first date with Moses. Mariah never thought she’d get any of this, and now she was someone’s bride. Faith said Tessa was meant for Mariah. Mariah felt like the luckiest person in the world to have Faith and Sharon in her life. They had a group hug.

Tessa and Crystal were at the apartment. They’d stayed up all night catching up. Tessa couldn’t wait to show Crystal off to all her new friends. Crystal said they could do that later – today, everyone would be focused on her rock star sister and her stunning bride. Tessa couldn’t wait to see Mariah. They didn’t know what each other were wearing today. Crystal couldn’t believe her sister was a famous singer-songwriter. Tessa didn’t think she was really famous. Crystal said people from their hometown didn’t get famous – infamous, maybe. Tessa said she got lucky, but Crystal said it was talent. She was proud of Tessa for making her dreams come true, and now she was a guitar-playing morphing butterfly goddess. They hugged. Mariah texted Tessa about a hidden surprise. It was a box of paper hearts with a bunch of silly but loving sentiments, like “You’re the jelly to my donuts.” They made Tessa and Crystal smile, and Crystal call the couple cheesy goofballs.

Back at the cottage, Faith made sure that they were on schedule. Mariah said that Faith could make a fortune as an event planner. Tessa texted Mariah to check the pocket of her overnight bag. There was a note that said “You are the strings to my guitar. My always love.”

Tessa got a reply text that sad “We’ve always made beautiful music together.” They texted loving messages back and forth. Tessa mentioned her wedding dress hadn’t been delivered and asked what if she showed up in her robe. Mariah dared her to do it. It did Crystal’s heart good to see this love, since she and Tessa didn’t grow up in a loving environment. It made Crystal think someone could be out there for her. Tessa said of course there was. Tessa said Mariah wasn’t just her love, she was Tessa’s life. Tessa knew Mariah would do anything for her.

Crystal got dressed for the wedding. Tessa shared that there had been two marriage proposals. She got choked up, because she’d thought about what it would be like to be at the wedding with no parents and Crystal not being there. Crystal said Rey would always have a special place in their hearts. They hugged. It was time to go, and Tessa’s dress wasn’t there, and she was trying not to freak out. At that moment, Kevin and Chloe showed up with the dress.

Nick and Noah were at Crimson Lights. Noah wanted Nick’s opinion on the way he decorated the Top of the Tower. Nick teased Noah about artists being needy for praise. Noah joked that he didn’t have enough attention as a kid. Nick was extremely proud of Noah’s work. He also thought it was incredible that Noah did this for Mariah and Tessa, given how he felt about Tessa. Noah said he didn’t have feelings for Tessa. He’d come to realize that what he thought he felt for Tessa was really about his breakup back in London. He’d projected those feelings onto Tessa, because he knew nothing would happen between him and her. Nick understood, and he was sorry about London, but love was rarely easy. Nick thought Noah would find love. Noah wasn’t looking for love, but if he found it, that was great. He was happy for the first time in a long time, and he was just going to enjoy his life. Nick was proud of Noah.

Noah assumed it wasn’t easy for Nick to walk Cassie’s twin down the aisle. Nick thought about Cassie and what should’ve been every day. The wedding had brought up all those emotions, and he was trying to focus on the good ones – he got to walk Cassie’s sister down the aisle, and he knew Cassie would be watching over them, happy for Mariah.

Noah was alone when Abby and Allie arrived. Abby introduced her nephew, Noah, to the newest member of the Abbott family. Noah told Allie that he was from the dark side of Abby’s family – the Newmans. Allie looked confused, and Noah said the Newmans were genetically inclined to make awkward jokes. He told Allie that there was an app that warned the Abbotts when a Newman was nearby. Allie didn’t know what to say. Abby explained that Noah was trying to say there was a Shakespearean history between the Abbotts and Newmans. Noah said he was an acquired taste. Chance came in and met Allie. Abby told Chance they needed to give Allie a ride to the Abbott house. Noah offered to do it, but Allie said she’d rather walk. Noah was stung, but Allie said it wasn’t him – she just wanted to explore Genoa City. Allie left.

Nick went to the cottage, where Faith and Moses were dressed in their vintage best for the 70s glam wedding. Nick peppered his dialogue with 70s slang, and Faith called him a dork. She had no idea what those words meant, and she said they’d need a glossary. Moses looked up 70s lingo online, so he could communicate with Nick. Sharon came downstairs, and Nick told her she looked groovy. Faith thought Moses was gorgeous, and he told her she looked beautiful. He couldn’t wait to see how she’d top this for prom. Mariah came downstairs, and Sharon asked if she had everything she needed. She said she had the love of her family and someone to love her the rest of her life. As they all left, Nick kissed Mariah on the cheek.

At the Abbott house, Jack helped Kyle with his cuff links. Kyle was going to officiate the wedding, and he was glad Mariah talked him into it. Jack understood Kyle’s initial decision to skip the wedding, due to the situation with his mother. Kyle said he was putting all that aside until he’d finished his officiating duties. Kyle felt that this was his big day too, since he was the one who set up Mariah and Tessa’s big date. He was also excited because Summer was flying in today. Jack knew how much Kyle missed Summer, given all these complicated issues with Diane. Kyle hinted not to mention his mom, because today was about Mariah and Tessa. Jack suggested Diane might be on her way back to LA.

Diane came downstairs at the hotel, and Phyllis was annoyed she was still in town. Diane said her son was in town. Phyllis and Diane debated whether Diane should try and get Kyle’s forgiveness. Diane was willing to wait forever, if that is what it took. She said she changed, and Jack was beginning to see it too. Phyllis ordered Diane to stay the hell away from Jack.

Diane thought that was extreme. Phyllis accused Diane of being up to her old tricks. Diane speculated about the state of Jack and Phyllis’s relationship. At first, Diane thought they were a couple, but after all the hurt, betrayal and trauma, Diane couldn’t imagine there was anything romantic between Jack and Phyllis. Phyllis couldn’t imagine Diane thought she had a chance in hell with Jack. Phyllis wondered what Diane’s goal was. Phyllis said she shouldn’t be surprised by anything Diane did, given that she faked her own death. Jack walked up and asked if there was a problem. Diane guessed her whole presence was a problem. Jack thought Diane was leaving since Kyle was going back to Milan. Diane changed her plans because Kyle changed his. Jack said that Kyle’s change of plans had nothing to do with Diane. Diane wasn’t assuming anything – Kyle had been in touch; he wasn’t shutting her out. Jack said that wasn’t an invitation to insinuate herself into Kyle’s life – he deserved space. Phyllis was about to add her opinion, but Jack dismissed Diane, and she left.

Phyllis had a really bad feeling about what Diane was up to. Jack assumed Phyllis was concerned about how Diane’s return would affect Summer. He noted that Summer was coming. Phyllis knew. He thought they should forget about what Diane was going to do. He invited Phyllis to be his guest at what promised to be the greatest wedding of the year, and she said there was nothing she’d like more.

Kyle checked his hair before getting ready to leave the house. Diane showed up. He was cool to her and didn’t let her inside. She said she was worried he was sick, since he didn’t go back to Milan. He assumed she wanted to know if he stayed behind because of her, and the answer was no. she thought he looked handsome. He said he was officiating his best friend’s wedding. She loved weddings. This is the life she dreamed he’d live once she stepped out of it – friends, family, a community. He said he was running late, and he walked out of the house and left without saying goodbye.

Devon and Amanda met Nate and Elena at Top of the Tower. Nate and Devon exchanged 70s slang and enjoyed Noah’s design. The place was decorated like a lounge, with burnt orange sectionals instead of more traditional chairs.

Kevin and Abby chatted with Nick and Sharon, while across the room, Chance showed Chloe pictures of Dom. Kevin said that was one proud dad. Abby said he was the best.

Sharon excused herself and went to hug Crystal. Crystal began to cry. Crystal was grateful Sharon helped her when she was mixed up in that nightmare with Zack. Crystal knew she was here today because of Rey, and she was sorry for Sharon’s loss. She was sorry to bring him up on such a happy day. Sharon said there was no need to apologize – Rey was the reason they could be happy after so much heartache. Sharon was glad Tessa had family here today. Kyle came up and gave his condolences to Sharon. She thanked him and said she was glad he was able to officiate the wedding. She introduced him to Crystal. Kyle introduced himself as Reverend Kyle, the reason Tessa and Mariah got together.

Jack and Phyllis showed up at the wedding. Kyle said Summer’s flight was delayed, but he hoped be there soon. Faith directed everyone to take a seat. Noah dimmed the lights. Mariah and Tessa entered at the same time, from opposite sides of the room. Sharon and Nick walked the brides to the center of the room and took their seats. Tess and Mariah had matching bouquets. They held hands and walked to the stage together.

Nikki: What are you doing here? Lying in wait, hoping that Victoria will come by again?

Ashland: I gather she told you we spoke earlier about my donation to New Hope. She didn’t object, which I found gratifying.

Nikki: I’m sure what you find even more gratifying is how much it still upsets her to see you. Does that feed your voracious ego?

Ashland: Hurting Victoria is the last thing I want. Every move I am making right now is about easing her pain.

Nikki: We learned a long time ago to pay attention to what you do, not what you say, since all you do is lie from morning till night.

Ashland: Nikki —

Nikki: You continue to claim that you love my daughter. If that’s true, prove it by leaving her alone.

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

Nikki: I was just sharing with Ashland what I think about him and how selfish he is for continuing to inflict his presence on you.

Ashland: I’m sorry. I should’ve recognized that a mother as protective as you are would not want to hear an apology from me, no matter how heartfelt.

Nikki: Oh, please.

Victoria: Mom, it’s not worth your time to get into it with him. Doesn’t matter where he goes or what he does, it’s his business. I honestly don’t care.

Nikki: I don’t share my daughter’s indifference. Victor and I didn’t go after you before because it was more important to get her out of a marriage based on lies. But we’ve done that now. And if you aren’t smart enough to stay away from her, we will come up with our own way of solving this little problem. Do you understand me?

Jack: It is so much healthier to express your feelings than keep them bottled up.

Allie: Yeah, but it’s just not something I do — crying in front of someone that I haven’t known for very long.

Jack: Look, maybe we haven’t known each other that long, but I’m not just anybody. I’m not a stranger. I’m your grandfather. And I have a feeling that something’s really on your mind that you’ve come a very long way to Genoa City, maybe — maybe to talk about it. I just want you to know you always have a soft spot to land here. I made a lot of mistakes with your father. I don’t want to repeat those mistakes.

Allie: You’re right. I came here because I could use someone to talk to. Something did happen.

Michael: I’m gonna make you a promise. We’re gonna hit every exotic destination on our wish list, and if you want to end up in the south of France, that’s where we’ll finish. But not quite yet, because we’re still in our prime, baby.

Lauren: Are we?

Michael: You don’t agree?

Lauren: Oh, I do.

Michael: [ Chuckles ] So I suggest that we continue to thrive in our respective careers. And…live our lives to the fullest. And then, when it’s time for us to walk off into the sunset, we’ll know it. And we’ll go hand-in-hand. What an adventure that will be.

Lauren: [Chuckles] Okay. Good point. But there is the difference between our careers. Running a successful chain of department stores isn’t dangerous. It’s relatively safe. No one is gonna put me behind bars because I declare pink the color of the season.

Michael: Oh, so bright.

Lauren: But it was muted.

Michael: Alright. True.

[ Sighs ] But like I said, I am convinced that things with Victor are going to settle down.

Lauren: Mm. I find that very hard to believe.

Michael: Time will tell. And if it becomes an issue, we will revisit this, okay?

Lauren: Okay.

Michael: Good.

Lauren: I am gonna go back to work.

Michael: Aww.

Lauren: But I would like you to compare and contrast something for me — our wonderful trip in the south of France to the delightful time you spent behind bars in Peru. I love you.

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

Adam: Ah. I’m gonna turn my attention back to Newman Media and turning it into the powerhouse I know it can be. Congratulations, Nikki, on your new position.

Nikki: Thank you.

Adam: Mm-hmm. I look forward to working with you both.

Nikki: The hell was that about?

Victoria: I have no idea, but I could use a little fresh air and a break from all things Newman.

Today, as the Innocence Project of Texas helps Brandon try to clear his name, “20/20” reports on the key question posed by his supporters: Did he actually kill his parents? The new “20/20” features Brandon’s first TV interview since his 2009 conviction with ABC News anchor John Quiñones, in which he claims his innocence and discusses how he feels anti-gay bias influenced the investigation. The program also explores the evidence against Brandon and includes interviews with Bonnie Woodruff, Brandon’s grandmother; Allison Clayton, deputy director of the Innocence Project of Texas; members of the jury; and witnesses in the trial. The episode also contains footage of police interviews with Brandon and Brandon’s friends from college and childhood. “20/20” airs Friday, May 20 (9:01–11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC, next day on Hulu.

    BELLINGCAT – As reports of war crimes in Ukraine continue at the hands of the Russian military, 60 MINUTES goes inside Bellingcat, a team of online data detectives, and its investigations to look at how they build their cases. Scott Pelley speaks with founder Eliot Higgins about how his organization is building a database of social media exposing the alleged war crimes.

    SHARSWOOD – 60 MINUTES’ Lesley Stahl visits Fred Miller and his family in the large house in southern Virginia that they recently bought to host family gatherings, only to discover that their own ancestors had once been enslaved on that very property. Miller’s sister and cousins scoured historical records and enlisted a genealogist to find evidence that their great-great-grandparents, Violet and David Miller, were enslaved on the plantation, then-called Sharswood. The dilapidated building still standing behind the main house has been identified by archeologists as living quarters for some of the enslaved men and women there. Buying this home has opened a window into the Miller family’s past that was not discussed within their family, and that many African American families struggle to obtain. This is a double-length segment. Shari Finkelstein is the producer.

    Airing Saturday, May 21 (10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network – TWIN SISTERS SAY THEY WERE ATTACKED BY A BLACK MAN – HE SPENT 44 YEARS IN PRISON – ARE THE SISTERS TELLING THE TRUTH OR HIDING A FAMILY SECRET?
    “48 Hours” Investigates in “Please Don’t Tell” Preview
    Vincent Simmons was released from a Louisiana prison earlier this year after serving 44 years for attempted aggravated rape of twin sisters. He says he didn’t do it – but the twin sisters say he’s guilty. Are the sisters telling the truth or hiding something? 48 HOURS and contributor David Begnaud investigate the case against Simmons and hear for the first time from a woman who says she knows the truth, in “Please Don’t Tell,” to be broadcast Saturday, May 21 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+.
    In 1977, Simmons was convicted of two counts of attempted aggravated rape of identical 14-year-old twins, Karen and Sharon Sanders, and sentenced to 100 years in prison. The Sanders sisters say their cousin, Keith Laborde, was driving them when he gave Simmons a ride. They say Simmons forced Laborde into the trunk then raped them. The Sanders sisters say Simmons warned them not to tell anyone about what had happened. They say they initially intended to keep it a secret, but Karen Sanders decided to confide in a family member.
    “And I said, ‘But please, please don’t tell anyone. Please don’t tell anyone,’” Karen Sanders says.
    It didn’t stay secret for long. The police soon found out and Simmons was arrested, convicted and sentenced to prison. This year, Simmons was released after a judge vacated his conviction after finding he didn’t get a fair trial. The court did not rule on his innocence or guilt, and the district attorney declined to retry him
    It’s a case that raises questions about potential flaws in the legal system and alleged racism, and whether it was just for this man to spend most of his life behind bars.
    “When I saw him in that lineup, I didn’t have to think twice,” says Karen Sanders. “When I looked at him, I knew him.”
    The sisters don’t doubt that they picked the right man out of the lineup.
    “I didn’t rape Karen and Sharon Sanders,” Simmons says. “I don’t know these people.”
    Simmons’ attorney, Justin Bonus, believes the twins are lying to protect Keith Laborde. Laborde’s cousin, Dana Brouillette, told a private investigator and swore in an affidavit in 2020 that Laborde admitted to her that Simmons was never with them that night. Instead, she said in the affidavit that Laborde told her “he had consensual sex with one of the girls and locked the other in the trunk.” Laborde denied ever having sex with them.
    What exactly happened? Was Simmons railroaded by a racist system, as his lawyer maintains? Or is he guilty, as the sisters say?
    Begnaud and 48 HOURS report on the case through interviews with Simmons, the Sanders sisters, Laborde, attorneys and prosecutors. The judge in the case also gave a revealing interview to Begnaud.
    48 HOURS: “Please Don’t Tell” is produced by Stephanie Slifer, Sarah Prior and Murray Weiss. Stephen A. McCain is the development producer. CBS News producers are T.

    From cagesideseats.com: WWE Raw preview (May 16, 2022): Alexa Bliss’ return is a big deal
    Raw airs tonight (May 16) with a live show from the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia. This is the second Raw episode during the four week build towards Hell in a Cell, coming up on June 5.
    Alexa Bliss’ return to WWE is a big deal
    Alexa Bliss returned to Raw last week with a quick squash win over former WWE Official Sonya Deville.
    This is the second time Bliss has returned to WWE in 2022. The first return was a complete disaster. It focused on awful therapy segments where Alexa was largely playing the same supernatural evil doll-obsessed character from 2021. She wrestled one match and then immediately disappeared from television, and that includes missing out on WrestleMania 38.
    In just one night back on TV, WWE undid a lot of the damage from her earlier return this year. Those cringe supernatural elements of her previous gimmick appear to be reduced or completely gone. Her entrance music was much closer to her original music before she was ever corrupted by Bray Wyatt. She still has that stupid doll Lilly with her, but that’s fine as a prop to sell a bunch of merch with as long as it doesn’t become anything more than that in kayfabe.
    The Raw women’s division has been significantly bolstered in recent weeks with the additions of Asuka and now Bliss, along with Rhea Ripley turning heel. And WWE should rely on the strength of that division to carry more of the show given the likelihood that Raw won’t be featuring the top men’s champion in the company all that much for the foreseeable future.  More

    NXT North American Champion Cameron Grimes and Solo Sikoa will team up when they face Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams. Grimes is set to defend the North American Championship against Hayes at the NXT In Your House special on Saturday, June 4. Sikoa has made it clear that he wants the next title shot against whoever wins.
    The Creed Brothers will face the Viking Raiders tonight. It’s a rematch from two weeks ago. The Creeds scored a tainted victory on that night after interference by their Diamond Mine stablemate Roderick Strong. Last week, the Creeds warned Strong to stay out of their rematch.
    The Creed Brothers are set to challenge Pretty Deadly for the NXT Tag Team Championship at NXT In Your House.

    5/21/22 (Sa.) 9:00 PM – THE FAMILY OF MICHELLE TROCONIS, WHO HAS BEEN CHARGED IN CONNECTION WITH THE PRESUMED MURDER OF A MISSING CONNECTICUT MOTHER, SPEAKS OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME ON “48 HOURS: WHAT DOES THE OTHER WOMAN KNOW? THE DISAPPEARANCE OF JENNIFER DULOS”
    Claudia Troconis Tells Erin Moriarty: “This Has Shattered Our Life Because My Sister Is Not the Person That They’re Saying – and She Would Never Be Capable of Anything They’ve Said That She Has Done.”
    The Broadcast Also Features Excerpts from Newly Released Interrogation Videos, Some Exclusive to “48 Hours,” Showing Detectives Questioning Michelle Troconis
    Michelle Troconis has been dubbed “the other woman” in a headline-making story about a Connecticut mother of five, Jennifer Dulos, who vanished and is believed to have been killed by her estranged husband, Fotis Dulos. He was charged with murder, but died by suicide weeks after his arrest leaving Troconis the focus of the investigation, as she faces multiple charges in Jennifer Dulos’ presumed murder. Now, in their first interview, Troconis’ family members defend her in 48 HOURS: “What Does The Other Woman Know? The Disappearance of Jennifer Dulos” to be re-broadcast from Saturday, Feb. 13 (10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
    “This has shattered our life because my sister is not the person that they’re saying,” says Michelle Troconis’ sister Claudia Troconis. “And she never would be capable of anything they’ve said that she has done.”
    Michelle Troconis, Fotis Dulos’ girlfriend, was charged with conspiracy to commit murder, evidence tampering and hindering prosecution – all charges she denies. And in some exclusive excerpts from interrogation videos, she insists she has no information about Jennifer Dulos’ disappearance.
    “I have no idea what happened to Jennifer. I have no idea where Jennifer is,” Troconis tells police.
    When Detective John Kimball tells her they believe she has information she’s not sharing, Troconis responds: “I don’t have, John, but I can walk the whole world with you if you want…I can do whatever you want but I didn’t do it.”
    Jennifer Dulos disappeared on May 24, 2019 after dropping her five children off at school. Police found her abandoned SUV near a park three and a half miles away from her Connecticut home. At the time, she was in the middle of an ugly divorce and custody battle with her husband, Fotis Dulos. Investigators believe Dulos attacked Jennifer that morning, killing her, and then disposed of her body. Jennifer’s body has never been found. Fotis Dulos died in January 2020 after attempting to take his own life.
    Michelle Troconis is currently out on bond. Her family is adamant she is innocent. They say Troconis is not the person portrayed in stories about the case.
    “Did your sister have anything to do with the death of Jennifer Dulos?” Moriarty asks Claudia Troconis.
    “No, she did not,” Claudia Troconis responds.
    “Do you believe that Michelle knows where Jennifer’s body is?” Moriarty asks Danielle Troconis.
    “My sister is innocent,” Daniela Troconis responds. “Absolutely not.”
    Moriarty and 48 HOURS investigate the disappearance of Jennifer Dulos and the case against Fotis Dulos and Michelle Troconis through interviews with their families, friends, investigators, and Dulos and Troconis’ attorneys. The broadcast also includes a 2019 visit to Fotis Dulos’ home, with Dulos and his family, around Christmas, just 10 days before he was arrested for murder, and an interview with Dulos’ attorney, Norm Pattis, on the day his client died.
    48 HOURS: “What Does The Other Woman Know? The Disappearance of Jennifer Dulos” is produced by Liza Finley and Elena DiFiore. Richard Fetzer is the field producer. Michael McHugh, Grayce Arlotta-Berner and Diana Modica are the editors. Peter Schweitzer is the senior producer. Nancy Kramer is the executive story editor. Judy Tygard is the executive producer.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Victoria: Sally, look, I hope you won’t take this personally, but I’m really not in the mood for any company.

Sally: I totally get it. And for the record, it takes a lot more than that to offend me. Everybody needs to have time to kick back and relax, especially when they’ve been dealing with everything that you’ve had to. One body blow after another. So, yes, I will give you some privacy, no problem. I — I just hope you don’t mind me saying one thing. I so admire your strength and resilience. You are the most tenacious woman that I know. It doesn’t matter what life throws at you, you keep your head up and you keep pushing forward. It’s really inspiring.

Victoria: Thank you. Thank you so much for the compliment. I wasn’t expecting that.

Sally: Why on earth not?

Victoria: When I took the reins back at newman, you and adam lost your temporary titles. I can imagine you were very disappointed about that.

Sally: I’m actually perfectly satisfied being coo of newman media. Adam and I are really excited about our plans going forward.

Victoria: He said something along the same lines earlier.

Sally: See? We’re all on the same team. In a very good place. The only loser here is ashland, and he deserves it.

Michael: Thank you for meeting me here.

Victor: You’re welcome. Now, you didn’t make clear what you want to talk about.

Michael: I assume you’re aware that diane jenkins is back. I ran into her myself recently.

Victor: Yep. Hard as it is, she’s back in town, you’re right. I hope she soon gets the hell out of town.

Michael: What if she doesn’t?

Victor: Well, if she thinks that everyone here’s gonna let bygones be bygones, she’s sorely mistaken, and I’m gonna make sure that she realizes that, okay? Now, there’s something else i need to talk to you about.

Michael: Let me stop you right there, please.

Sharon: No, you’ve got the right time. There’s no confusion. We are expecting your delivery person between 8:00 and 9:00 A.M. Tomorrow. Perfect. Well, thanks for checking in. Hey.

Faith: Hey, mom. I picked up the dry cleaning.

Sharon: Oh, that was so nice of you. How — how’s your to-do list coming?

Faith: Almost done. I got the new items for mariah and tessa to carry, so old, blue, and new are done.

Sharon: Great, and I can just loan them something for borrowed.

Faith: Yeah, I figured. So we can cross that off.

Sharon: Excellent.

Faith: I’ll go hang this in your closet.

Sharon: Oh, no, you don’t have to. I was actually heading upstairs to get something anyway.

Faith: Just let me do it. What do you need? I’ll bring it down.

Sharon: Is there some reason you don’t want me to? Oh, I see. One of rey’s shirts — the one that I bought him in miami, the cuban one.

Faith: I’m sorry. I know you wanted to focus on mariah and the wedding today. Not think about…

Sharon: My loss.

Tessa: The bakery just called.

Mariah: What’s wrong?

Tessa: Nothing! They just wanted to confirm when and where to bring the cake tomorrow.

Mariah: Okay. Good.

Tessa: Okay, twitchy.

Mariah: Well, I almost lost out on having kyle officiate, and now I’m just waiting for something to go wrong.

Tessa: Wow, I was the worrywart earlier, and now we switched places.

Mariah: Well, I’m very jealous. What’s your secret?

Tessa: I don’t know, I just decided to take a deep breath and admit that everything was gonna be fine.

Mariah: Oh, god, even hearing you say that is making me superstitious and paranoid.

Tessa: Listen, you, the fact that the wedding is coming together has nothing to do with luck and is everything to do with the fact that your family is coming through for us in a major way.

Mariah: Yeah, that’s mostly for my mom. Yeah, they know she needs something happy and joyous in her life right now.

Tessa: Well, I’m glad that our love can give her that.

[ Knock on door ]

Mariah: Please don’t be something wrong.

Tessa: Okay, would you just relax? It’s probably someone with a wedding gift.

[ Gasps ] Crystal!

Crystal: Hey, sis. With downy infusions, let the scent set the mood.

Tessa: Give me that bag. Why didn’t you tell me when you were getting in? I would’ve met you at the airport with balloons and your maid-of-honor tiara.

Crystal: I knew you’d be frantic with all the last-minute stuff, and I didn’t want to get in the way. Although, I do know how to rock a tiara.

Mariah: Well, you look fantastic with or without sparkly accessories. Come here! Oh, let me get a look at you. Wow, you look so strong and so confident, like a whole new person.

Crystal: Thanks. Feels like I’ve grown up a lot in the time that I’ve been away. Which is good, I supposed, although I’ve missed you like crazy.

Tessa: That makes two of us!

Crystal: Oh! I’m so glad I get to be here in person for your big day.

Tessa: Yeah. Well, that was all rey. No one in the family had any idea that he was working to get the charges against you dropped.

Crystal: How’s sharon doing? I know they weren’t married long, like a year, year and a half. His death must be so hard on her.

Sharon: When I said I wanted to focus on the wedding, i didn’t mean that no one should talk about rey at all. I was just trying to give you all permission to enjoy the happy day without worrying about how I feel.

Faith: Oh.

Sharon: Obviously, he’s on my mind already anyway. I think about him every minute of the day.

Faith: Me too. It’s just when the lady at the dry cleaner said that he hadn’t picked up his shirt so it would be in your things, I realized that she didn’t know that he had died. She asked me to say hi to him, and I didn’t even know what to say.

Sharon: I’m so sorry.

Faith: I can’t believe he’s gone. It doesn’t seem real. Every time that the door opens, I look up and I expect it’s gonna be rey.

Sharon: So do I.

Faith: He was there for us through the scariest times — your cancer, my transplant, mariah’s kidnapping.

[ Sighs ] He always remained so calm and strong and refused to let us give up hope. Now everything turned out the way he promised, and he doesn’t even get to be here for it. It’s so messed up.

Sharon: It really is.

Victoria: I think that ashland came out of this just fine. Thanks to adam, he’s several hundred million dollars richer than he was.

Sally: Well, I doubt the money made him any happier, since he’s already given half of it away.

Victoria: How did you know about that?

Sally: I saw him talking about it with nick. And when adam and I spoke with him afterwards, he was anything but fine. I mean, granted, it was a brief conversation because ashland doesn’t trust adam, so of course he wasn’t gonna talk about how broken up he was over losing you, but it was very obvious to anyone with eyes.

Victoria: I think you are either totally misreading the situation or you’re greatly exaggerating. Either that, or he’s playing you and adam, the same way that billy did when he pretended to be falling apart, when he knew that you were following him around in your disguises, making your little spy videos.

Sally: Well, ashland couldn’t fool me. Not that I’m a better judge of character than you. That was not my point.

Victoria: Then what is?

Sally: Just it’s true what they say — takes one to know one. And I have been where ashland is now.

Victoria: What does that mean?

Sally: May I?

Victoria: Fine. Sit.

Michael: Lauren has stepped up her efforts to get me to bow out of this job.

Victor: What do you mean, on account of peru?

Michael: Well, it sure didn’t help.

Victor: What the hell does this have to do with your wife? You’re my lawyer. Do I need to hire someone else?

Michael: No, no. You don’t have to take it that far.

Victor: Well, then let’s start talking business, okay? Ashland locke is still in town. He’s circling the water like a shark.

Michael: Oh. I assume you want me to find a way to…neutralize him.

Victor: You bet, okay? More than that, I want to get rid of that S.O.B. Permanently.

Faith: I’m sorry. I was trying to stay positive today, for your sake.

Sharon: Don’t apologize. And don’t try to hide your feelings from me. You know, it helps me to know that other people see how special rey was and that they miss him, too.

Faith: I really do.

Sharon: Well, we’re gonna keep him in our hearts. And there’s another way that rey’s memory will never be forgotten. Your father told me that someone made a donation to new hope in rey’s honor, and it’s a large sum.

Faith: That’s great.

Sharon: Your father’s gonna use that to help a lot of people — build affordable housing and recreation centers, all kinds of resources for high-risk kids, and these were issues that rey really cared about.

Faith: That is so awesome.

Sharon: And this is a beautiful way of making sure that rey’s kindness and compassion are never forgotten.

Faith: Who made the donation?

Sharon: Um, well…your father said that the donor prefers to remain anonymous, and that way the focus stays where it belongs — on rey.

Michael: What exactly does your vision for permanently removing ashland entail?

Victor: I can assure you that you won’t be risking your life going after locke.

Michael: Not this time.

Victor: This man is making victoria’s life a hell, and i won’t stand for it.

Michael: Alright, alright, has ashland engaged in any behavior that we can report to a judge? Is he harassing victoria? Is he threatening victoria?

Victor: None of it. He’s just hovering around her, you know, trying to impress her with his undying love.

Michael: Well, do you think he’s sincere or is he just toying with her?

Victor: The point is that he is becoming frustrating.

Michael: How can you tell?

Victor: Because she’s very cold to him. And once he realized that his tactics weren’t working, he gave half of the money I gave him to new hope.

Michael: $250 million?

Victor: 250 million bucks.

Michael: Alright.

Victor: And here’s the kicker. He did it in rey rosales’ name. He wants it to fund charitable projects in rey’s honor. He’s trying very hard to convince victoria that his love for her has transformed him.

Michael: [ Scoffs ] Well, that’s one hell of a gesture.

Victor: Yeah.

Michael: Is it working?

Victor: Of course not.

Sally: Like your ex, i pretended to be deathly ill to get someone’s sympathy. To make them fall hopelessly in love with me. At least that was the plan, anyway.

Victoria: I didn’t think there was anyone else on this planet that would stoop so low.

Sally: If you want to let me have it, go ahead. If there’s some insults that you haven’t hurled at ashland yet, you can say them to me.

Victoria: I can see now why adam likes you so much. You truly are two of a kind.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] I know you didn’t mean it this way, but I’m going to choose to take that as a compliment.

Victoria: So did you pull it off? Is there some poor man out there that you scammed into marrying you?

Sally: Um…it didn’t get that far. It ended in disaster, because how could it not? Wyatt was so hurt and disgusted, he chose to cut me out of his life completely, just like you did with ashland — booting him out of the company, erasing his name from the letterhead, and annulling your marriage. Just like it never happened. So that is how I know that the guy’s pain and shame are real. I disagree with the people who think that he’s a sociopath. I believe that he feels true remorse.

Victoria: [ Scoffs ] Right.

Sally: I mean, of course, i never had the option of shelling out $250 million to buy redemption, but if I did, it would’ve been totally worth it because that is how horrible it feels to know that you have hit rock bottom and that you have hurt the one person that you love more than anything in this world. And for what? Money, power? I mean, you can’t hold either of those things in your arms. So, yeah, I’m sure the last thing you want to hear right now is that I feel sorry for ashland, but to be honest… I kind of do. If you’ve been living with heart disease,

Victoria: Your sympathy is misplaced. And you’re projecting.

Sally: Why do you say that?

Victoria: Just because you’ve regretted your actions, it doesn’t mean that ashland does. You were trying to hold on to someone that you loved, while ashland was using me so thathe could get what he really wanted, which was full control of newman/locke.

Sally: But now he’s lost all hope of ever gaining that, and he’s still hanging around. So it seems to me like he might have realized that there’s more important things in life.

Victoria: Ashland hates to lose, and he very much enjoys manipulating people.

[ Sighs ] So…when it comes right down to it, I really don’t care what his intentions are.

Sally: You have every right to feel that way. Too much has happened. So it really doesn’t matter how he feels or what he’s learned. I was at your wedding, so I saw him make this amazing declaration of love, so I guess it’s just hard for me to believe that at least some of that wasn’t genuine. But who cares? It’s too late. So I guess, I don’t know, best-case scenario for ashland is just to move on, like I did, and just try and do better with the next woman in his life.

Victoria: Right.

Sally: I mean, that’s how i know what adam and I have is healthy and strong because i learned from my mistakes. Is it fair that you invested so much time and love into ashland, teaching him how to be a better man, and now someone else gets to benefit from that? Hell no. And it’s totally unfair. And he’s probably gonna be haunted by how badly he treated you for the rest of his life. But he’s got no one to blame but himself. Anyway, I’ve definitely taken up too much of your time, so I…am going to head back to the office. But…I really hope things get better for you.

Victor: The point is victoria has finally wised up to what that man is all about. She knows she can’t trust a word coming out of that S.O.B.’S mouth.

Michael: Yeah, I can only imagine how painful that realization must have been. Do you think there’s any temptation on victoria’s part to believe him, that somehow the power of her love redeems him?

Victor: No. He fooled her once, he’s not gonna fool her again. But…that is what has got me worried.

Michael: Because ashland locke isn’t used to hearing the word no? Because he’s not the type to slink off quietly in defeat?

Victor: You said it.

Michael: [ Sighs ] Well…I know you’re worried that victoria’s continued rejection will just make matters worse.

Victor: We’ve got to come up with a plan…in case I need to rescue victoria. I want that bastard out of town permanently.

Nikki: What are you doing here? Lying in wait, hoping that victoria will come by again?

Ashland: I gather she told you we spoke earlier about my donation to new hope. She didn’t object, which I found gratifying.

Nikki: I’m sure what you find even more gratifying is how much it still upsets her to see you. Does that feed your voracious ego?

Ashland: Hurting victoria is the last thing I want. Every move I am making right now is about easing her pain.

Nikki: We learned a long time ago to pay attention to what you do, not what you say, since all you do is lie from morning till night.

Ashland: Nikki —

Nikki: You continue to claim that you love my daughter. If that’s true, prove it by leaving her alone.

Tessa: Well, crystal’s all settled in. She’s just in the shower.

Mariah: Excellent. I mean, how perfect did this work out? I can go to my mom’s, like we planned, and then crystal will be here so you’re not gonna be lonely.

Tessa: Oh, we have so much catching up to do. And I’m sure that sharon and faith will appreciate having this alone time with you for the last time before you’re a married woman.

Mariah: Can you believe it? I mean, the next time we see each other, we’re gonna be walking down the aisle.

[ Laughs ]

Trelegy for copd.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Sharon: So what do you think? There’s one for each guest, and all of the goodies that we talked about are in the bags.

Faith: Oh, my gosh, they came out fantastic.

Sharon: I don’t know. Do you really think so?

Faith: No, I mean it. I’m seriously impressed.

Sharon: Really?

Faith: Yeah, now I know where noah’s artistic talent comes from.

Sharon: Oh, that’s nice of you to say, but, no, they’re not perfect.

Faith: They’re hand-made. They’re not supposed to look like cookie-cutter, store-bought things.

Sharon: You know what? I agree. I actually don’t mind the little imperfections. It shows that this effort came from our hearts.

Faith: It kind of works with their relationship. Mariah and tessa don’t try to hide their imperfections either. To me, it’s even more romantic. They accept each other for who they are, no matter what, in spite of their flaws.

Sharon: Aww, you’re gonna make me cry.

Mariah: The bride is here! Well, one of them anyway.

Sharon: Hi!

Mariah: Hi!

Faith: I’m so happy that we’re getting a sleepover.

Mariah: Oh, me too.

Sharon: So what’s, like, the real reason behind this anyway?

Mariah: What do you mean?

Sharon: Well, are you superstitious? Are you afraid if you see your bride before the ceremony, it’ll be bad luck?

Mariah: Maybe a little, but, no, it’s — it’s mainly that we like some old traditions, you know? And it’s a great excuse — tessa gets to spend some time with crystal.

Sharon: Oh, what time does she get in?

Mariah: She just got in a little bit ago.

Sharon: I’m so happy that she could be here to join the celebration.

Mariah: I know. I mean, what rey did to make all of this happen, it’s — it’s an incredible gift.

Sharon: He’s still here with us, making his presence known.

Crystal: Sharon has the best taste in nail polish. I love this color for you.

Tessa: Ooh, me too. Should we paint our toes later?

Crystal: Sure.

[ Gasps ] Wow. That portrait of you and mariah.

Tessa: Yeah, it’s cool, right?

Crystal: Yeah.

Tessa: Noah painted it.

Crystal: It’s stunning. He couldn’ have created something so gorgeous for you unless he’s gotten over how it all started.

Tessa: Well, it was a bit awkward when he first came back, but we’ve moved on from that.

Crystal: Glad to hear it. And what about sharon? Are things copacetic between you two? I know there have been times that she’s had her issues with you.

Tessa: Yeah, but for pretty good reason.

[ Both laugh ] But we’ve moved past that now. We’re really close.

Crystal: That’s so awesome.

Tessa: Well, we had to lean on each other when mariah went missing. And rey was so supportive.

Crystal: I still have to pinch myself thinking about my life now. That I’m finally out from under those charges. I’m free, thanks to rey rosales, this person that I never even met.

Tessa: It’s so phenomenal.

Crystal: Things were okay in canada — better than okay. But I’d gotten used to thinking that I was never gonna be able to have the kind of life that i wanted. That I’d always have to hide and look over my shoulder and worry if I was safe. But now I can go where I want and I can do whatever I want. I wish I had the chance to thank rey. He changed everything for me.

Tessa: You would’ve loved him.

Crystal: The whole family sounds amazing. And now you get to be a part of it.

Tessa: [ Laughs ]

Ashland: [ Sighs ] Look, I don’t want to upset you, but I can’t leave things the way we just did. I would hate to think that you’re telling victoria that i never cared for her because nothing could be further from the truth.

Nikki: I think that song’s getting a little old.

Ashland: I should never have deceived her. It was cruel, it was callous, and you’ll get no argument from me on that. But I eventually, belatedly, realized what a treasure my wife is. I’m just trying to help her to understand that and maybe one day win her forgiveness.

Nikki: Well, that would be even more cruel than what you have done so far, because you’re toxic. You are an arrogant, emotionally stunted narcissist, incapable of putting other people’s needs ahead of your own.

[ Scoffs ] Everything is a game to you. Just another move on the chessboard. Well, my daughter deserves better than that.

Victoria: What’s going on here? With depression, you just feel…blah.

Nikki: I was just sharing with ashland what I think about him and how selfish he is for continuing to inflict his presence on you.

Ashland: I’m sorry. I should’ve recognized that a mother as protective as you are would not want to hear an apology from me, no matter how heartfelt.

Nikki: Oh, please.

Victoria: Mom, it’s not worth your time to get into it with him. Doesn’t matter where he goes or what he does, it’s his business. I honestly don’t care.

Nikki: I don’t share my daughter’s indifference. Victor and I didn’t go after you before because it was more important to get her out of a marriage based on lies. But we’ve done that now. And if you aren’t smart enough to stay away from her, we will come up with our own way of solving this little problem. Do you understand me?

Tessa: Here you go.

Crystal: Thank you.

Tessa: It’s pretty wild that I’m gonna be joining this big, boisterous, loving family, especially after the way you and I grew up. It was so chaotic and unpredictable.

Crystal: Yeah.

Tessa: I’ve been thinking about it a lot because mariah and I decided to have kids.

Crystal: You’re gonna be a mom?

Tessa: Is that just super crazy?

Crystal: It’s crazy awesome! You have the biggest heart of anyone I know, and you practically raised me.

Tessa: It was mariah’s idea. It took me a while, but then i realized that adoption was the best thing for us.

Crystal: That’s perfect. You can give a kid in a bad situation a loving home, save them from growing up the way that we did.

Tessa: Well…that’s why i was so hesitant at first. Mariah and I both had crappy childhoods, and hers was worse in some ways, if you can imagine that, because it was an even more whacked-out environment.

Crystal: I can’t imagine what that would even be.

Tessa: A literal cult.

Crystal: Oh, my god. That — that must have been horrible.

Tessa: We decided that we needed to know that we had what it takes to be good spouses and parents so that we don’t perpetuate the same cycle and saddle our kids with the same unresolved baggage.

Crystal: So I take it that you got over your fears, since you’re taking the plunge tomorrow?

Tessa: Let’s put it this way — this is as fearless as we’re gonna get.

Crystal: [ Chuckles ] So what made the difference?

Tessa: It wasn’t just one thing. We just decided that we weren’t gonna let this thing fail. And we’ve come close many, many times to losing everything, but we always found a way to come back to each other. To get better and make things right.

Crystal: You’re basically talking about trust. Or what I imagine that would feel like, if and when I ever experience it.

Tessa: Well, if it happened for me, of all people, then it can definitely happen for you.

Crystal: Okay, enough. We’re getting way too deep.

[ Chuckles ]

Tessa: Yeah, you’re probably right.

Crystal: Tonight is about celebrating and having fun and getting ready for your big day tomorrow. So what’s next on our beauty agenda?

Tessa: Mm. Hmm.

Crystal: [ Gasps ] Hair. What do you think — do we do a trial run?

Tessa: [ Gasps ] Yeah, i would love that.

Crystal: So are the brides thinking of having updos or are we thinking maybe something a little more boho chic?

Tessa: Probably boho chic, ’cause I feel like that’s more manageable for me.

Crystal: Yeah.

[ Both laugh ]

Mariah: Oh, here she comes.

Sharon: Mm.

Faith: So what are you looking forward to most tomorrow? Like, for real, no sarcasm.

Mariah: Well, that — that limits my options.

Faith: Come on, try. I know you can do it.

Mariah: Okay, let me think. Hmm. Is it cheesy that it’s actually getting to marry the love of my life?

Faith: Yes, but I’ll allow it. I’m most excited for the dancing. It’s the best part of weddings. I just can’t wait to get out on that dance floor.

Sharon: Well, that’s good, because we’ll know where to find you when it comes time to do the bouquet toss.&

Mariah: Oh.

Faith: Oh, yeah, about that, I hope you won’t be offended, mariah, but I’m not gonna go too nuts trying to catch it. Imagine how moses would react. It would totally freak him out.

Mariah: Eh, she has a point.

Faith: Mom, what are you most looking forward to?

Sharon: All of it. I’ve missed out on so many important moments and events in mariah’s life. I just plan on soaking this one up.

Nikki: Poor thing, you must be exhausted.

Victoria: I’m just tired of this day.

Nikki: Well, I have the perfect cure for that.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] You do?

Nikki: Yeah. Why don’t we take a week and go to some fabulous spa in europe, just the two of us? I mean, we can celebrate our new working partnership and hammer out some long-term goals. It would be so good for both of us.

Victoria: Mom, I know what you’re trying to do, and I am grateful, but the timing is wrong.

Nikki: Well, I disagree. I think this is a perfect time for a mother-daughter trip.

Victoria: Far away from ashland?

Nikki: Oh, ashland who?

Victoria: Look, we just have too much on our plate right now. We have to officially change the name of the company back to newman enterprises. Do we keep it quiet or do we do a big publicity push? And then we have to transition you into your new role and find out which of the executives can be trusted to be loyal now that ashland is gone.

Nikki: Darling, I hear you, but you haven’t had a real break from any of this since we found out what ashland was up to. You haven’t given yourself the time to really accept it.

Victoria: Mother, I don’t want you to worry about that. I’m — I’m not on the verge of a nervous breakdown. I’m not — not even close. Look, I appreciate your concern, really, I do, but I’m gonna get through this. I promise.

Ashland: I’ll have one more, please. Thank you.

Sally: The two of you make quite the pair.

Ashland: I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Sally: Victoria was here a little bit ago, sitting on that same exact stool in almost the same exact mood. Only she hid it a little better.

Ashland: And you find this entertaining?

Sally: No, I find it all very sad. Two people who obviously miss each other — one too proud to admit it and the other one too proud to keep up the fight.

Ashland: Why do you care? What does any of this have to do with you?

Sally: Not a thing. I’m just a sucker for romance. I hope you have a very nice evening.

Sharon: Hey, you too excited to sleep?

Mariah: Yeah, I think i probably need to make some of that tea you’re always recommending me.

Sharon: Chamomile.

Mariah: Yeah, I don’t want to nod off during the ceremony, so I should probably get some sleep. I mean, that would be very bad.

[ Chuckles ]

Sharon: Somehow, I don’t see that happening.

Mariah: You know, for so long, I was watching people pairing up, starting families and building their futures together…and it was all that i wanted, but I thought that it was gonna pass me by. I’m so sorry. That must sound so insensitive.

Sharon: Why?

Mariah: Because you just lost the partner that you thought you were gonna spend forever with.

Sharon: Hey, stop, okay? There is nothing about your happiness that hurts me, i promise. Someday when you have kids of your own, you’re gonna realize that you actually live for this.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ]

Sharon: The love that you found with tessa, it’s amazing. It’s the best. It’S…

[ Sighs ] You know, this is everything that I want for you. This is everything I want for my girl, so don’t you dare feel guilty even for a second, okay?

Mariah: Okay.

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Summer: Oh, you must be allie.

Allie: I am.

Summer: I’m summer, kyle’s wife.

Amanda: Man, I am really digging this ’70s vibe.

Devon: Yeah, noah really knew what he was doing.

Elena: Yeah, someone understood the assignment. Look at this place.

Faith: Everyone, please take a seat so we can celebrate our super-funky couple and lift them up with the power of our love.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

thank you. Thanks. This is really nice. Thank you. Oh, you’re welcome. I thought we could use a little bit of mother-daughter pampering. Mom, why don’t you ever do color? ‘Cause I don’t like color. Well, why are you doing that? ‘Cause I already messed it up. Oh. Of course. Well, I could tell that you’ve been meaning to ask me something since we first walked in here. It can wait. For a more appropriate time?

[ Chuckles ] When will that be? Come on. Is it about me and cam? Is it esmé? Trina’s trial? Or something simple like final exams? I was just going to ask about the pcu report and if trina was allowed back in school. Oh, well, yeah. There’s no official word on that yet. We’re just trying to stay as distracted as possible while we wait. Given that list you just rattled off, it seems like you have tons to distract you. Well, same with you. The hearing for nina’s petition is tomorrow. Yeah. Looks like we both have our hands full, huh? I’m not worried about michael. You know, he’s in strategic mode and has his game face on and can handle anything right now. But… I can’t help but feel sorry for willow. I mean, I can’t imagine how hard this must be, especially after you told her the truth about her mother. So what do you think about the feature? Smoltz did his job and more. Look, I know you had your reservations, but with the hearing tomorrow, it’s best to use smoltz to our advantage than to have him press assault charges against me. I agree. It’s also good to remind the world what nina is capable of. Yeah.

[ Knock on door ] Hey, dante. Hey. Come on in.

[ Sighs ] I’m guessing this isn’t just a social call. Yeah, I’m afraid not. Uh… willow, as the lab came back with your dna results. Do they prove that my mom was not… my mom? Oh, you look so handsome, sweetheart. Do you want to run your poem for me one more time before we go? I’m tired of practicing. I know it by heart.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Leo. I think you forgot something. Ohh. You want some help putting it on? Yes. Thank you. Okay, here we go. Hey, leo and I are gonna head over to the fair a little bit early so he can get used to the crowds and all that stuff. You’re still joining us, right? Of course. I’ll meet you there. Because of elq business. Martin: I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I did not mean to keep you waiting. Got caught on the phone. If you’re going to give me some flowery excuse involving your personal life with lucy coe, I really wish you wouldn’T. Oh, forgive me. Obviously, somebody got up on the wrong side of the bed. Why? Because of that feature about nina in the invader? You know, you’re not the only one. Lucy’s positively livid about all that dirty laundry being aired. I feel for nina. It’s no fun having your private life and your past mistakes raked over the coals by the media. But there’s something else. Elq has called a board meeting. Aha. No doubt the quartermaines are intent on voting you out as ceo. Well, now it’s time for you to earn your retainer. What are we gonna do about it? Jordan: I hope that’s not breakfast. Mm. Did you come by here just to check on me? After the 24-hour shift you pulled the night harmony miller was brought in, I wanted to make sure you’re okay. Well, I got a good night’s sleep, and molly’s pampering has been better than hitting the spa for a week, so… alright. Make sure it stays that way. Actually, I’m really glad you’re here. You have something to report, dr. Ashford? A missing person. My grandfather.

[ Cellphone beeps ] Mr. Ashford. Nice to see you. Ms. Reeves is expecting you. Go right in. Thanks. How’s nina handling the release of the article? See for yourself. So make sure you keep the skirts mid-length. Remember, this is business attire, not a night out on the town.

[ Phone ringing ] Oh, beatrice, I think I have another call. I’ll call you back, alright? Alright. Bernardo, that section was beautiful. Listen, I want to discuss that further, but my 10:00 just arrived, so I will have to call you back. Okay. Ciao. Okay, shannon, hold all my calls. Hi. Sorry about that. Well, I came by to be the shoulder for you to cry on, but I can see that I’m your 10:00. Well, the world doesn’t stop because there’s some stupid feature in the invader. Are you really okay? Yeah. I’m great. I’m really great.

[ Chuckles ] Why wouldn’t I be? Yeah, I read

the invader feature. It looks like michael didn’t hold back at all. And I know you’re going to say it’s okay, but listen, we both know that you’re not. Just know that you’re not alone. Hey. Hey. Are you here for the elementary school fair, or are you eavesdropping on my private conversations? Well, scout’s got a watercolor that’s worthy of da vinci. I’m telling you, it’s pretty amazing. How about you? I’m here for avery’s, you know, dance performance. Oh. Yeah. You know, a father’s got to do what a father’s got to do. Right. Well, then, why are you at war with your son?


So the tests confirm that harmony was not your biological mother. It’s not like it’s a surprise. You still got a shock there. I mean, you can take a minute. I wasn’t in denial. I realized that you and carly wouldn’t make it up, but… still. Hey, dante didn’t tell me what the dna test results were. I came because I figured you could use a friend. I…hope that’s okay. It’s more than okay. So thanks for lighting a fire under the lab. What can I do to show the pcpd some appreciation? They didn’t do this because you’re a corinthos or a quartermaine or my brother or even a captain of industry. What? I don’t think you ever called me a captain of industry before. Well, if the title fits, right? Where are you going with this? Nowhere. You tell me. Is there something going on with your business and you don’t want me to know? There you go. Mom? What do you think? It’s perfect. Not that I would expect anything less. Your father is an expert at the perfect corporate appearance. But I’m going to my school fair. And you are perfectly dressed. You are. Leo, the tie looks absolutely great, and your dad and I cannot wait to sit in the audience and watch you read your poem. Right, ned? Of course. Olivia, I promise you, I am not putting business before my family. But? No buts. Elq needs to be here for leo when he comes of age, michael and drew’s agenda notwithstanding. There you go. Where’s chase? I can’t recite my poem without him. Chase is gonna meet us at rice plaza, just in time to hear your poem, okay? You don’t have to be nervous. You remember what chase said? If I pretend I’m only performing for one person, it makes it less scary. If you do that, you can’t go wrong. Aww.

[ Laughing ] Maybe you ought to take a page out of leo’s book. Stop focusing on everything that could go wrong and cherish everything we have that’s going right. Oh, no, no, no, no, you don’T. It is not that simple. I cannot just wave a magic brief and stop the shareholders from voting you out. You got nobody to blame but yourself. You were gone from port charles. You are not being very helpful. I had an infection. I could have died. Fortunately, for those of us who know and care about you, you’re alive and well and back in fighting form. Unfortunately, your absence gave the quartermaines time to plot your ouster from their company. The minute you turned your back, you gave them an opening. If that family remains a united front, you don’t stand a chance. Look, obviously, harmony was very messed up, but willow still believed that was her mother. You know? She still loved her. Not only does she find out that harmony’s a killer, but that she basically kidnapped willow? I mean, I do not blame you for not wanting to tell willow all of that information the night of the accident. Yeah, willow had a lot going on. But it turns out I didn’t have to tell her. All the information was a part of the police investigation, so dante did it. Well, the important thing is, she knows the truth. Carly:

Can you imagine if ninaturns out to be willow’s mother? That’s going to be a huge problem for michael and willow. And what if the whole thing turns out to not be true? I would have set a hideous chain of events in motion for no reason. Okay. What if it is true? What if the dna test proves that what harmony said is absolutely legit? What are you gonna do? Yeah. Sometimes the truth can be a heavy weight to carry, and I don’t necessarily think willow deserves that burden. You know?

[ Cellphone beeps ] Oh, my god. Okay, I’m sorry to bring this up, but I don’t understand why nina is dragging everyone through this ridiculous hearing, mom. The only reason she can file a petition is because she’s nelle’s biological mother. Oh, my god. Look at nelle. Nelle was insane. She was a baby swapper. I mean, one look at nelle’s police record and the judge should laugh nina out of that courtroom. Nelle is beside the point. The judge should deny nina visitation because of nina’s own actions. Well, I hope that the judge reads the invader, because this feature on nina’s petition makes a strong case. This is perfect. Thank you, shannon. And can you keep holding my calls and make sure you shut the door on your way out? Okay? Thank you. Absolutely.

[ Door closes ] Have you, uh… have you read this? Yeah, an advance copy. And I have to admit, at first I was horrified. You know, that hack reporter paints me as dangerous and deranged, facts courtesy of michael and willow. And now? And now… I am not new to a scandal, curtis, so either I could curl up in a little ball and die, or I could just keep going on with my life and prepare for my day in court and a chance to be in my grandson’s life. In other words, backing down is not an option? You surprised? I shouldn’t be. It’s just that… it’s just — it’s just what, curtis? Just spit it out. I know when you’re trying too hard. Did michael put you up to this? Using a kids’ event to lobby on his behalf? Michael doesn’t need me or want me to fight his battles for him. And frankly, I really wish there weren’t any battles to fight. Yeah, well, you got to ask michael that, ’cause he’s so angry that he wants to change the image of the corinthos name. And, I mean, by the time wiley’s old enough to ask questions about his grandfather, I’m gonna be a distant memory. I’ve got to put a stop to that.


Ss defensive. It’s just now that drew regained control of his elq shares, we’re getting ready for a showdown with valentin. Corporate shenanigans may have to wait, because I’m pretty sure drew is focused on scout’s watercolors she’s exhibiting at the elementary school fair. Good for scout. The world needs more artists. I may be biased, but I think she’s a pretty great artist. You know, the fair is today, by the way. If you want to get your mind off the dna test results, you can come with me. Sounds perfect. You want to bring wiley? Oh, I wish I could. The nanny took him to the zoo. Well, I’ll see you both at the fair. Have a good time. Thanks. Join us later, if you can? I’ll try. I’ll take good care of her, don’t worry. Okay.

[ Door closes ] So you didn’t just come by to share the dna results, right? Want to tell me why you’re really here? Mom, we’re gonna be late! Okay, okay. Don’t worry. I’ll make sure my dad is there on time. Chase too? Chase too, promise. Okay, then let’s skedaddle. Uh-oh. I’m in trouble. Look, you know I don’t always agree with olivia, but this time, she’s right on. You have a lot to be grateful for, dad. Do not mess it up. Honestly, I’m trying not to. Then why not just be grateful there’s a strategy to weaken valentin’s hold on the company? I mean, isn’t expanding aurora and merging it with elq a good idea? Oh. I see. Michael and drew got to you. Curtis told me marshall left town. Did he tell you why? Curtis was determined to dig into your grandfather’s past. Maybe he found something that marshall felt could hurt him. Or maybe he took it personally that his own son didn’t trust him. Don’t you think curtis has a reason not to trust his father? After all, marshall left his family when curtis and your dad were just boys. He pretended he was dead. And I have my reasons for wanting to find my grandfather and bring him home. Okay, I tried calling his phone, but it isn’t in service. T.J., It’s possible that — that marshall doesn’t want to be found. Uncle curtis said that, but I need him to tell me that face to face, okay? The trouble is, I’m a doctor, not a cop, and you’re the police commissioner, mom. Help me find my grandfather. I’m not going to let that smoltz and that sleazy feature have power over me. Easier said than done. Who am I kidding? Curtis, everybody loves a scandal, right? And judges, they’re not immune. And michael and willow couldn’t have timed this feature better. I’m sure it’s gonna affect my petition for visitation with wiley, and the only person I can blame is myself. Where is the strong and determined nina reeves that I know and love? Hmm? You have your own ammunition. I do? You do. Look, if michael and willow determine that you’re unfit to see wiley, then you and your attorney should demand to know why someone with sonny’s reputation is granted unrestricted access. Michael feels protective of carly. You can’t really blame him. Yeah, but this is between me and his mother. She’s very capable of fighting her own battles. Michael doesn’t have to do that for her. Still, she’s his mom. Yeah, and I’m his father. I didn’t want the divorce. Carly wanted the divorce, and now michael’s accusing me of being disloyal and unworthy of the name I gave him. Look, I just — I hate seeing bad blood between father and son. So is there something, is there anything at all, anything that you think that I could do to help?


You want to talk about dad? Yeah. But remember, I said I’m not taking sides. I appreciate that. Okay, good. Can we drop it now? No. We can’T. I think you and sonny need to get in a room together and talk. And who knows, maybe you’ll find somewhere to meet in the middle.

[ Scoffs ] The middle. Yeah. Dad made the choice to forsake his family. He put nina first, and the rest of us are a distant second. No. Michael, that’s not true. Sonny cares about his family. And I’ll prove it to you. Have you read part one of the feature yet? No, I have not. Well, you really should consider it karmic payback for nina sabotaging your marriage. Sonny doesn’t get a free pass. My marriage ended because of all the choices sonny made when he came back to port charles. What he did to you was so unfair, and I still don’t really understand it. I don’t understand how sonny tells you he loves you and then treats you that way. Look, I won’t deny that it hurt, okay? It did. But I can move past a broken heart. Sonny’s kids thought he was dead for nine months, and michael, kristina, and dante, they can navigate through their grief or somehow understand it, but avery and donna were babies. And they were sad and they were confused and they missed their dad. I mean, all the tears I wiped off those little girl cheeks, and nina could have put an end to it in 30 seconds and she didn’t? Yeah, she didn’T. I know. Nina kept sonny to herself while we all grieved. We were collateral damage. I’m so sorry. What kind of mother would I be if I didn’t insist that nina suffer the consequences for what she did to our family? For what she’s doing now, to michael and to willow and to wiley. How do you think you can help?

[ Exhales deeply ] Maybe get you and michael together? I’ll play mediator. I definitely won’t take sides. Well, it looks like all the moms and dads are here. I’m sorry.That was tactless. You’re grieving harmony and only just found out that she’s not your biological mother. No, no. If anyone owes an apology, it’s me to you. My mother tried to kill yours. And she wasn’t even my mother, which leaves me with a serious question. Who is? No. No. I won’t allow sonny to be dragged into this. Nina, not even 5 minutes ago you were ready to take on the world, and now you’re giving up? No, but I thought about giving up. I — I visited nelle’s grave, and I was reminded that not only did I miss out on raising that little girl, but I didn’t get the chance to help her. Maybe help her conquer her demons, demons she might not have had if I was the one who raised her. Wiley, he’s all I have left. I can’t turn my back on him. I won’T. I can’t lose another child. Michael’s not gonna listen to reason. I told him that I’m not taking nina’s side at the hearing tomorrow, but I’m not going to throw under the bus either. But he thinks that’s, like, a major betrayal. Michael just — he’s got a lot on his plate right now besides the hearing, so don’t write him off just yet. Try to be patient. Let things kind of settle down a little bit. Michael is building a wall around his family to keep me out. Well, walls don’t stay up forever, you know? Things change. Why would you say that? Is there something that you know that can help me get my family back together? Because if there is, you got to tell me.


thatharmony attacked carly, his first impulse was to call her. Yeah, to alleviate his guilt. You’re — you’re so sure of that, aren’t you? Okay, look, you — you weren’t raised by dad, but I’m sure you heard him talking about his code, right? About family and loyalty and all that. Well, he threw that all away for nina, and he threw my mom away, even though she stood by him to hell and back. So, sure, he thought about calling her, but he didn’T. Why? Well, because every single time he sees mom, he’s reminded that not only did he betray her, he betrayed himself. Okay. I think there’s more to it than that, michael. But nobody is perfect. Not sonny, not me. And believe it or not, not even you. Yikes. If we don’t leave now, we are gonna be late for leo’s performance. Oh, I think you still have time to explain how you found out about this merger.

[ Sighs ] Michael told me, okay? He assured me that everything’s aboveboard. I don’t think you need to be concerned that your position is being threatened. Michael and drew came up with the plan and started laying the groundwork without ever consulting me. I’m just going to take a shot in the dark here and say that’s because they both work at aurora. Given their close proximity, they have more opportunities to talk. With each other and not to me. Dad, there’s no secrets here. Okay? Michael wants to be completely transparent. I haven’t talked to drew about it, but I’m sure he feels the same way. And they approached you thinking that if they won you over, you could try and sell the idea to me. I’m not selling anything, okay? I just happen to think that merging elq with aurora to dilute valentin’s shares is a genius idea. For michael and drew. They’re planning for the future with no place in it for me. Dad, please don’t do this. Do what? Don’t go to the dark side and say or do something that you’re gonna regret. Well, I can hear the wheels turning from here. What exactly do you think you’re hatching, valentin? I’m mulling my options. You don’t have any. As you said, this whole thing hinges upon the quartermaines remaining a united front, which has never been their strong suit. Okay-dokey. You know what they call this? Kelly’s? Procrastination. But a donut will help me say my poem. Everybody loves donuts. Hello, leo. I don’t suppose you remember me. You used to be bailey’s father. Yeah, that’s right. You like donuts, huh? My favorite’s cream-filled. So is mine. No kidding. Martin, do you mind? Oh, by all means. If I have your permission. By all means. Just one, leo. You got it? That was very kind of you. You seem surprised. All the tension with the elq-aurora merger, I figured that you might be a little less than thrilled with the quartermaines. There’s been a merger? I — you didn’t know? I assumed — of course I knew. I’m the C.E.O. But what’s more important? A bit of business, or putting a smile on a kid’s face? Marshall told curtis he was leaving port charles, which doesn’t make him a missing person, and it would be unethical for me to launch a private search, especially since marshall may have left because curtis crossed the line. Okay, so uncle curtis drives my grandfather away. Your hands are tied, and there’s nothing I can do about it? I didn’t say that. As a doctor, you have your own powers of observation, as well as an ability to search for clues. Through the lens of a microscope. It’s not so different from police work. Start with what you know about your grandfather. Which is next to nothing. He vanished almost without leaving a trace. Almost? All grandpa left was his clarinet and a note. Really? Don’t go anywhere. Just — I’ll be right back. I’m not naive, okay? I know that nelle did some terrible things, but maybe if she had a loving mother to raise her, I could have directed her on the right path. Maybe. Or maybe I’m just deluding myself. At this point, I’ll never know. It’s the not knowing that drives us crazy. Well, you’re lucky, aren’t you? Your father came back into your life. You have a second chance. Not anymore. Marshall left town. For good? Looks that way. I am so sorry. You know, you’d think I’d be able to handle it. I learned to live without him when I was a kid. I think I can do it again. Yeah, but this time, it’s harder. Marshall isn’t just a name that your family would tell stories about. He’s someone you actually got to know. Hey. What are you thinking? All the places I lived when I was a child. My parents moved around so much, it’s just a blur of names and faces. Could a neighbor or a member of the community be my biological mother? Okay, before you start asking yourself these questions, I just — I want to say, there’s something I always tell my potential clients before I take on a job. And it applies to me? It could. Once you start the search, you don’t know where it’s gonna lead. So before you go looking for your biological mother, I would say that you have to ask yourself this — am I prepared for any and all answers, even if it’s not what I want to hear? I can’t really reveal the details, but michael and I are working on an important new project involving aurora and elq. And? And while we’re butting heads with valentin, maybe I can intercede on your behalf and broker peace. Is valentin likely to retaliate? If he does, michael and I can handle it. No disrespect. Despite our differences, I’m not going to let michael go up against valentin cassadine without backup. I want in.


Y is all about leo,dad, okay? Put your politicking over who has control over elq on pause. Tomorrow you can talk to michael, you know? Tell him how you feel. Together, you guys can work out where everyone stands in the new world order. In theory, that sounds good. Wait for it. This is where you dismiss my idea like you always do. Brook lynn, I am not going to dismiss your idea. You’re right. I am? This is leo’s day, and I am not gonna spoil it by talking about business. Just like you said, there is plenty of time to resolve my differences with michael and drew. I knew you’d understand. More than you know. Good luck at the fair, leo. Thank you, both of you. Elq and aurora are merging. Since when? What am i paying you for? First they replace me with a quartermaine as C.E.O., Then they merge aurora and elq, diluting my shares and weakening me further. Unless… unless what? Unless I can bring a member of the family over to my side.

[ Laughing ] I left them both in my locker, since I’ve been working around the clock. Forgot to take it home with me when I got off shift. Nothing about where he’s headed. Marshall never told uncle curtis or me where he’s been living the last few years. Wasn’t marshall part of the music scene in new york city? With its five boroughs and 8 million people? Where do I start, mom? Maybe your grandfather left behind something more than just his clarinet and a note. It’s a receipt from a music shop in brooklyn. Pretty recent, too. Marshall must have used that shop to refurbish his clarinet. But he gave me the clarinet. Why would he go back to the shop? To buy a new one? Maybe the shop owner knows where marshall lives. You won’t know unless you ask. Do you give up the first time you look through a microscope? What do you think? I refuse to give up on wiley, and I will not let you give up on your father. Another voice in the room. Aunt stella already weighed in. Well, I’m sure she and I agree, and I’m very honored to be in such a distinguished company. So what did aunt stella have to say? She said that I should talk it out with marshall and get the answers that I want, no matter how much they hurt. That’s really good advice. So, what are you gonna do about it? I never claimed to be perfect, and I don’t expect perfection from dad or anyone else. Great, then cut the man some slack, okay? Have a chat with him, man to man, figure out what kind of relationship you’re going to have. Isn’t that in wiley’s best interests? In everyone’s best interests? So dad was given a second chance in life, and how did he use it? By turning his back on his family to be with the woman who kept him from us for almost a year. I can’t get past that. Look, dad made his choice. I made mine. Yeah. You know, you sound just like him right now. Part of me is convinced the pain will never go away until I find out where it came from and who my real mom is. But at the same time, I’m not sure I’m ready. Maybe I never will be. And here I thought you were ready to turn your back on michael, but now you want to help? Yeah, michael turned his back on me. He’s still my son. And, you know, it’s my job to protect him. Well, I’m glad to hear that. Good. So now you’re going to tell me what’s going on with valentin and how I can help. Look, sonny, as much as your friendship means to me, the answer’s no.


If I go looking for my father, I open up myself and my family to more lies, more deception. Yeah, I mean, I know how you feel. One day, wiley is gonna come up to me and ask me all sorts of questions. I’d give anything not to answer them. About nelle? And about me. I could do the easy thing and just give michael and willow what they want and walk away. But you won’t do that. No. I can’t live without my grandchild. Now you have to ask yourself something. Can you live without your father? I already got some time off approved. I’ll head to brooklyn and to the music shop. But — but what if uncle curtis is right? What if marshall doesn’t want to be found and I end up making things worse? What if you end up making things better? Follow your heart, T.J. I’ll square things with curtis. Thank you. I have to call molly. I hope she’s not too attached to that miami trip we were planning.

[ Both chuckle ] We’re headed to brooklyn. Good luck. Yeah, a brilliant idea in theory, but there are significant obstacles. You have to move quickly before the merger closes. Not to mention finding a quartermaine willing to take your side. You have to ask yourself, cui bono? Who benefits? Okay, I’ll bite. If aurora and elq merge, then I lose, and drew and michael stand to gain. Yeah. So? Then you have to ask yourself, where does that leave ned? Too many people. Hey, leo, you’re gonna do great. You’ve got this, kid.

[ Gasps ] You came! I told you I would. Now, you remember chase’s advice, right? But chase is my one person. Where is he? If you want to look at the exhibits, go ahead. I just need to rest a bit. Yeah, of course. I mean, after everything you’ve been through. Once the kids perform, I’m sure I’ll feel better. Okay, um, take your time. And about the identity of your birth mother — if and when you decide to look for her, count me in. We’ll find her together. I have to protect wiley, and that starts with doing whatever I can to support willow and michael. Mom, everybody knows that our family was the wronged party. And nina’s circle of friends or fans, whatever it is, they can’t defend her for very long.

[ Chuckles ] Not with this reminder, this feature showing the world who nina is and what she’s capable of. Oh, I’m sure nina is working overtime to paint herself as the victim. I mean, the grandmother with good intentions who’s tragically misunderstood? No, she’s the woman who kept sonny corinthos from his family for nine months, and who induced labor and who stole avery. Everyone knows that you are completely justified in wanting to shield wiley from nina, no matter how far you have to take it. I’m nothing like him. Sonny — sonny takes what he wants. He does what he wants, and to hell with anybody who gets in his way. Now, I owe it to wiley to make the corinthos name mean more than that. Hmm. Yeah, I get you want to rebrand the corinthos name in your image, okay? But why do you have to trash sonny to do it? Why can’t you leave our dad out of it? It’s not enough that I have to rise to the top. Sonny has to fall.

[ Sighs ] You do know where this could lead, right? I’m going to take everything from him. Every shred of legitimacy that he has. And the next time the pcpd comes calling, he’s not gonna have anywhere to hide. Michael’s lucky to have you by his side. Thank you. But if michael lets a family disagreement escalate to something more, he’s gonna need all the luck he can get.

[Heavy music]

> Lani: [Sighs] [Exhales, whispers] Okay… I was just trying to wound him, wasn’t I? Oh, okay. Why is he dead? Why is he dead?

Chanel: I just heard.

Lani: What? What did you hear?

Chanel: Eli’s awake. Is he okay?

Lani: Yeah.

Chanel: I’m so happy for you.

Lani: It’s, um… yeah, it’s wonderful. It’s the best thing ever.

Chanel: I also heard about tr is it true? Did mama really shoot him dead?

Kayla: You know, it’s–it’s just all the things are going around in this town. Now I’m just trying to get my head around the idea that lani’s birth father shot her husband and her mother shot her birthfather. I mean, it’s just–

Steve: Well, paulina confessed to killing tr coates.

Kayla: Well, you sound like you don’t think that’s what really happened.

Steve: Yeah. She seems more like a woman who uses words, not bullets. And you know, there’s something I didn’t tell you about the weapon they found at the scene.

Kayla: What’s that?

Steve: I don’t know how paulina could have gotten her hands on what looked like a police-issued weapon.

Shawn: Okay, I know I don’t have to tell you to keep me posted but I’m doing it anyway. All right, thanks.

Ben: Anything?

Shawn: No sign of allie or the car she was driving.

Ben: Then your guys damn well better be fanning off from the dimera crypt. Tony and anna, they found this pacifier there hours ago. Allie was in there with my son, and god only knows where she is now.

Ciara: [Gasps] Oh…oh, my little baby bo. So wish you were inside of me so I could keep you safe. Where are you right now? What is happening to you right now?

Demon allie: It’s friday the 13th, my child. What a fitting day to fulfill my plans for you.

[Baby cries] Oh, no, don’t cry, little one. It will all be over soon.

Susan: I just love this picture of you and your sister. Oh, when you guys were little kids, you used to be the bestest of friends.

Johnny: Yeah. Yeah, I know.

Susan: I wa–I want you to think back to that time. And I want you to try to find that connection again. Mmm? You know, think about what’s happening through your sister’s eyes. Take a look at this–just hold on to that, take a look. I want you to try one more time johnny, all right? Just hold my hand, hold my hand and take a deep breath, all right? And I just–I want you to think about your twin sister and how you used to share your mom’s body for nine months and the same crib. You know what? Your mama used to tell me that she used to find you hiding behind the furniture telling each other your secrets. Johnny, johnny honey, we need to find her. We need to find your sister before that devil makes her do something that she’ll never come back from. All right, you know what? We need to close our eyes right now. Just close our eyes. Okay, now we need to send her our love and our energy. We’re sending our loving and our energy to allie. She needs us right now, johnny.

Demon allie: You are quite the handful, aren’t you? I’m going to need help dealing with you. And I have just the person in mind. Charlie martino dale… I command thee rise from the depths of hell.

[Unsettling music]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Johnny: Anything?

Susan: Uh-huh.

Johnny: Grandma, I’m concentrating as hard as I can, but I just–

Susan: Whoa. Wait, wait. I feel something. I feel something. Do you?

Johnny: I don’t know. Maybe it’s just– aah!

Susan: Oh!

Susan: “Even though I walk through the shadow of the valley of death, I fear no evil. I fear no evil, for you are with me.”

Johnny: Grandma, what–what’s that?

Susan: We almost did it, johnny. We almost reached allie. Oh gah! He broke the connection.

Johnny: He? The devil?

Susan: Hey…I mean, who else would have done this? Huh?

[Eerie music]

Charlie: Well, if it isn’t allie horton. I knew you couldn’t stay away forever.

Demon allie: I am not allie horton. I’m just taking control of her body.

Charlie: Mmm. Pretty good choice, in my opinion.

Demon allie: I did not summon you from eternal damnation to talk about your time on earth. You’ve been chosen by me.

Charlie: Me? Why?

Demon allie: I did battle in heaven. But god cast me out for an inferior being. I fell from grace into an eternal inferno. You too know what it means to be passed over, first by your mother and then by this woman you call allie. That makes you perfect for my purposes. Now, bow before me and swear your allegiance. I must know that you’re worthy to receive my instruction.

Charlie: What is it you desire of me, master?

Ciara: Hey, dad… it’s me. I, uh, I know you’re in heaven right now. But I also know you’re not the kind of guy to just sit back and do nothing when all hell breaks loose, so please… oh my god, I need your help right now. Please help me. Please look over your grandson. Please bring my little bo back to me.

[Soft footsteps] You?

Evan: We meet again.

Ben: You have to have some idea where allie is.

Shawn: You know everything that I do, all right? The techs didn’t find anything at the dimera crypt. We interviewed everyone at the dimera house. I mean, we set up roadblocks in a wide perimeter around it. I mean, not even the devil’s gonna be able to travel with a newborn.

Ben: Yeah? Well, he seems to be pretty damn good at getting help whenever he needs it. Plus evan frears is still on the loose.

Evan: I heard your little prayer to daddy bo. I don’t think he’s going to come for you this time.

Ciara: You have five seconds to get out of here or I’m going to start screaming.

Evan: I wouldn’t do that if I were you… or I’ll fix it so that you and daddy can be together forever.

Lani: I can’t speak about ray coates–it’s an open case.

Chanel: Okay, but mama was arrested. You–you can tell me if that’s true.

Lani: Yes, chanel. She was.

Chanel: And I also heard that tr was the one who shot eli. It wasn’t that drug dealer like you said. Is that true? Can you talk about that?

Lani: Yeah. You heard right. After eli woke up, he–he remembered–he remembered everything that happened.

Chanel: And he remembers tr shooting him? I can’t believe it. Mama thought he’d changed, and he’d been so good to her and he was helping her out with jules and carver and everything.

Lani: It makes me sick to think about that man going near my children. My biological father, he took care of one person and that was–that was ray coates. He hadn’t changed one bit. I don’t know, he–he lied to everybody. Everything out of his mouth was a damn lie. And he wasn’t the only one.

Chanel: What? Who else was lying?

Kayla: So you’re saying you think paulina’s lying about who killed coates? It could have been a policeman?

Steve: I don’t know.

Tripp: Hey.

Kayla: Hey.

Steve: Hey buddy.

Kayla: You just missed dinner–I can make you a plate.

Tripp: No, no, I’m good. I fixed myself a sandwich while I was staying with henry.

Kayla: Come on. A sandwich is not enough for you.

Steve: She’s right. You’ve been working your shifts at the hospital and you’re babysitting little henry over at nicole’s–come on.

Tripp: I’m good, good. Is there any news on ben and ciara’s baby?

Steve: I’d like to say that there’s been some progress, but no.

Shawn: That baby is my nephew–I’m not gonna rest until we get him back. I’m gonna call rafe–I’m gonna find out what he knows.

Ben: I pray there’s something, because I need to give ciara some good news when she wakes up. This is killing her.

Shawn: I know.

Evan: It’s amazing how sharp they keep these things.

Ciara: You were helping allie. Where’s my baby?

Evan: I know what it’s like not to know where your son is or if he’ll be all right. I’ve been living that way for years now because of you.

Ciara: That was because of you. You killed your baby’s mother, and you let ben take the fall for it.

Evan: And you rode to his rescue. Now you and a serial killer are living the dream while I rot away in a cell.

Ciara: You see, the difference is ben has changed, and you have not.

Evan: Your kid is better off where he is.

Ciara: With the devil? Hmm?

Evan: You think he’ll have a storybook childhood with ben weston for a father?

Ciara: Shut up and tell me where my baby is.

Evan: You don’t need to worry about your baby boy. You’re the one lying here helpless as a newborn.

Ciara: Ha. Helpless? Listen, I just gave birth. I didn’t have open heart surgery. And I wouldn’t be so sure about that if I were you. You and your little pal the devil tried to convince me that ben was dead. And I knew better, and I was right. How many times have you tried to kill us…and failed?

Evan: God was on your side in the past. I have my own backup now. The devil’s on my team, so I say you and i are pretty evenly matched.

Ciara: Aah!

Evan: I forgot, the necktie killer’s wife likes it rough.

Ciara: [Gagging]

Susan: Oh, dr. Marlena evans, you are a sight for sore eyes!

Marlena: I thought you might have heard something about allie and the baby.

Susan: Yeah, we got a message all right. But it was from beelzebub himself.

Marlena: What are you talking about?

Johnny: Grandma susan and i were looking at this picture of allie and me trying to make some kind of connection.

Susan: Right. Yeah. And then it got knocked plum out of our hands. It was like it was struck by lightning.

Johnny: Or we just dropped it.

Susan: That is not what happened, johnny, and you know it. This is–this is the dark one. This is the dark one, and he is saying, “this is war.” Know what? The almighty god, he sent–he sent us a weapon, johnny, sent us a weapon. So who cares? Who cares if satan cracked some glass? I mean, he can’t walk this earth as himself, I mean he needs a host body. And we–we belong here. We belong here because we are human beings and you know what? You…there’s no human being I’d rather have on my side than you, dr. Marlena evans. So get over here, johnny, come on, come on. No, get over here, all right. We’re go gonna drum up. We’re going to close our eyes and we are going to drum up all the love, all the love for alice caroline horton so that we can save her soul.

Johnny: We already tried this!

Marlena: And we’ll try it again. Because now there’s one more person here that really loves allie too.

Susan: All right.

[Baby crying]

Demon allie: I’ve grown weary of the external battles that accompany a possession– fighting off exorcists, the host’s loved ones, not to mention the internal struggles of the individual’s tortured soul. I’ve done that dance for millennia. And now it’s time to rest. To that end, this innocent newborn will be my vessel for his entire lifetime. I snatched him straight from his mother’s womb. He knows no other touch but mine. He doesn’t have the will or the bonds of love to restrain me. I will take up residence in this little one. And when he is a grown man, I shall make hell on earth through him.

Charlie: What can I do to assist you, master?

Demon allie: Your chance to be a father to a son was taken from you. I’m giving you the opportunity to raise another child. When the ritual is done, you will take this child and you will keep him as your own.

[Eerie off-key notes]

Susan: There’s three of us now, allie. Yeah, we’ve got your grandmama marlena with us. So for the sake that sweet poor, poor baby and to save your own soul, we’re asking god…to break the devil’s hold on your spirit so that you can hear us.

[Loud thud] Oh! Oh, oh, she’s here! She’s here! Johnny did you–do you see her?

Johnny: No, there’s nothing. It’s like I can feel her, but I can’t see where she is. She– she–is she gone?

Allie: [Echoing] I’m here.

Both: Oh! Get ready for more

Steve: Listen, the entire salem pd is looking for allie. But so far, no trace of her.

Tripp: Henry misses her so much–I mean, he made me read “the runaway bunny” over and over again.

Kayla: Oh, I love that book. The way the mother rabbit is gonna transform herself into a bunch of different forms so that she can go with her baby bunny if he decides to run away.

Tripp: No, allie’s not gonna do that for henry–she doesn’t care what happens to him.

Kayla: Oh, you know that’s not true.

Tripp: You’re right. I shouldn’t be talking about her like that. Not now.

Steve: Okay, so let’s talk about you. How you doing, son?

Susan: Oh.

[Wind howling]

Johnny: Did we all just hear that?

Susan: I did, I did! She’s here with us. Oh, dr marlena evans, talk to her, talk to her.

Marlena: Yes, yes, uh… allie… darling, it’s–it’s marlena. We’re all here, susan’s here and johnny is here. And we can hear you.

Allie: [Echoing] Grandma?

Marlena: Yes, we’re right here, darling.

Allie: I tried to fight him, but he’s–he’s too strong.

Marlena: It’s okay. It’s–we’re gonna help you fight him. We just have to know, darling, where are you?

Allie: He has the baby. Ciara and ben’s baby.

Johnny: Where are you right now?

Allie: At the cemetery. Charlie dale’s grave. Please come, or it will be too late…too late…late…

[Eerie off-key notes]

Demon allie: You are to keep a vigil so that the ritual is not disturbed by mere mortals. If they are to appear, this is the perfect place to bury them where they stand.

Ciara: [Gagging]

Demon allie: I summon all forces of evil to this ungodly place. Let the transference begin. The lows of bipolar depression

Chanel: Who else is lying?

Lani: Did I–did I say that?

Chanel: Yeah, you did.

Lani: I–chanel, I’m running–I’m running on fumes right now. Anything that comes–I can say anything. Anything can come out of my mouth right now.

Chanel: Okay. I’m sorry. I was-I was pumping you for information.

Lani: No, it’s fine. Paulina is your mother too, and you deserve to know. Why did you tell him that you shot tr?

Paulina: You hush. I know what I’m doing.

Chanel: Know what? Lani?

Lani: I was thinking about that–that beth. Beth howard is her name. She–she was the one who swore that tr, he–he didn’t use drugs around her and he didn’t hit her.

Chanel: And she got a part in that movie.

Lani: Yeah. Maybe he gave her that role to keep her quiet or he threatened her. I don’t know. She–she came by eli’s hospital room one night and said that she has something to tell me but–I don’t know. She must have been scared.

Chanel: I wish she would have told you. Then mama wouldn’t be in this mess.

Tripp: I don’t know what there is to say. I didn’t keep it a secret how I felt about allie. I-I loved her. And trusted her. She knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. But she still couldn’t tell me how she felt about chanel. She couldn’t tell me that she cheated on me.

Kayla: I know how much that hurt you when you found out.

Tripp: I’m fine. I’m dealing with it.

Steve: You sure about that? Listen, buddy, I know you’re tough. And I respect that. But from one tough guy to another, you don’t have to keep it inside and pretend that this isn’t bothering you. Not around here you don’T. Just talk to us. Okay? You’re not gonna feel better until you do.

Johnny: I gotta get to the cemetery.

Marlena: Not by yourself you’re not.

Johnny: Look, allie’s always making a big deal about how tough she is. You heard how scared she was just now. She needs help. She’s my sister, and I’m going to get her.

Susan: Johnny, the devil can get you again. Johnny: I don’t care!

Marlena: We care!

Johnny: I’ll be damned if I let him keep allie one more second or hurt that baby. You guys call ben, call the cops, tell them where to go.

Ben: Tell me where my kid is right now or I swear–

Evan: God is not coming to rescue you. Don’t you know that by now? He doesn’t dirty his hands with guys like you and me. We’re both going to hell. You know that. I’m just gonna make sure I send you there first.

Demon allie: By the sins of his father and the virtue of his mother, from this mortal child, I take his uncorrupted soul as my own.

[Baby crying]

Evan: Say hi to jordan for me.

[Baby crying]

Charlie: Uh… is it…done?

Demon allie: I’m leaving this corporeal form.

Charlie: Master? Question, what do you want me to do with allie once you’ve left her body?

Demon allie: I have no use for her anymore. Do what you want.

Johnny: You’re not gonna lay a finger on her. We do it every night.

Tripp: You guys know how I grew up, you know, I felt like I didn’t belong anywhere. You two found me and you took me in and if you hadn’t done that, I don’t know who I would be now. I know I put you through hell there for a while but… here we are.

Kayla: Here we are.

Tripp: And I’m saying all that because… because I thought that I was gonna have what you two have.

Kayla: We know that.

Tripp: Yeah. I saw allie and me raising henry together, you know, and… maybe having kids of our own, you know, kids that would know from the jump that they were wanted. But right after I asked allie to marry me, like the next minute johnny walked in and told me about her and chanel.

Steve: That wasn’t johnny. It was the devil’s work.

Tripp: I can’t even–why does it matter why he told me? It was the truth. Feels weird talk about this now. I know what allie must be going through. I mean, I don’t know, but I can imagine. I just wish that she had been honest with me. I took care of her after she figured out what charlie did to her. She knew how I felt about her and henry. Why couldn’t she just level with me? Now I wouldn’t have made all those plans. I mean, that–that’s what keeps me up at night is all those damn plans and… I thought it was gonna be her and I against the world. I-I thought that now that she had my love I thought–

Kayla: You thought that nobody could ever hurt her again.

Demon allie: You’re not welcome in this circle johnny. I’m not happy with all your attempts to interfere with my plans.

Johnny: Yeah? Well, that’s too freakin’ bad.

Demon allie: How reckless you are. Don’t you know you’re playing with fire?

Johnny: You underestimated the love between my sister and me. You don’t get the family that I come from. My two grandmas can take you on.

Demon allie: Ha ha ha ha ha! Those two god-fearing harpies? Don’t make me laugh.

Johnny: Allie. Allie, it’s me. I’m here. I’m–I’m myself again, you can trust me, but you have to fight now. Okay?

Demon allie: This is the resistance I was telling you about. You know what to do.

Charlie: Yes, I do.

Johnny: I’ve seen your picture. You’re the pig that raped my sister. And I wanted to kill you when I found out about it. Looks like I finally got my chance.

Shawn: You sure you’re both okay?

Ciara: Yeah, we will be.

Ben: Yeah, as soon as this bastard spills his guts about the devil’s plans for our baby.

Evan: What? You think you’re gonna be able to stop him? Don’t make me laugh.

Ben: I stopped you, didn’t I? Huh?

Evan: You’ll be too late. By now the devil’s the proud owner of your son’s immortal soul.

Marlena: Ben? Ben, it’s marlena. I need you to call me. It’s urgent. Maybe we should go help johnny.

Susan: Of what help would we be?

Marlena: I don’t know.

Susan: This is johnny’s fight. Yeah, let’s just lea–let him and the police take on the devil.

Evan: The devil’s not going to kill your son. He’s going to be your son. Never heard of the demon seed? Once the devil has become one with little bo, he’ll be unstoppable. The kid was probably born with the brady charm and weston taste for blood. Now he’s gonna be raised from within by the guy that wrote the book on wickedness. So you fixed it so I couldn’t see my kid. Now you’re gonna have ringside seats, while your son walks through life making the whole world miserable.

Shawn: Stop! Listen to me–

Ben: Where’s my baby? Where’s my damn baby?

Shawn: He’ll say anything right now, stop.

Ben: Where is he?

Shawn: Stop.

Ben: Where’s my baby?

Evan: All I know is the time. Ha. Not the place. The ritual of transference is happening right now.

Shawn: Listen to me. We’ll get more out of him down the station. Do not give up hope. We’re gonna find baby bo.

Evan: Like hell you will.

[Ciara sobbing] My a1c stayed here,

Chanel: I wanna see mama.

Lani: She’s going through the booking process right now and can’t have visitors for a while–maybe tomorrow?

Chanel: Seems like I can’t do a damn thing to help the people I care about, especially when they’re in big trouble.

Lani: I’m guessing you’re talking about allie. I heard that she ran off with ciara’s new baby.

Chanel: I don’t even know who allie is anymore.

Lani: You’ve been through a lot too.

Chanel: Yeah. Those twins really did a number on me.

Lani: I’m so sorry, chanel.

Chanel: Yeah. Well, I guess now that I know it wasn’t them doing it all, treating me so badly…

Lani: I hope that it helps you.

Chanel: It does a little.

Lani: I need to get back to the hospital and see eli. But do you wanna come with me? You can say hi to him.

Chanel: Yeah, sounds great.

Lani: Okay.

Chanel: Yeah. You know, this having a sister thing…it’s nice.

Lani: It is. Come on.

Tripp: No matter how I feel about allie, I don’t want anything bad to happen to her.

Steve: Well, the two of you never had a chance to straighten things out.

Tripp: I don’t think anything will ever get straightened out.

Kayla: Even so, I mean, you might have turned out to be friends.

Tripp: I don’t know about that either.

Kayla: I just wonder what would have happened with the two of you if the devil hadn’t played around with your lives.

Steve: Chanel was a happily married woman. She made her choice–allie knew that.

Kayla: Yeah, and maybe it allowed allie to fully commit to you. Well, it’s a possibility, don’t you think?

Tripp: It’s kind of hard to think about what might have been. Chanel and I are like friends now. I never saw that happening.

Kayla: You see, because people change and feelings change.

Tripp: I was telling chanel that I think maybe life has gotten be too much for allie. And that was before I knew about all this devil business.

Steve: She’s had it really rough.

Kayla: Yeah. She had her rapist’s baby. And she’s been a good mother to him.

Tripp: Allie’s life turned sour the night she crossed paths with charlie. I thought I was gonna make things right for her again. Kind of arrogant when you think about it–I mean, who am I, captain wonderful?

Steve: I think you’re pretty great.

Tripp: Why’d this have to happen to her?

Steve: I don’t know, son. But no matter how hurt and angry you feel right now–

Kayla: I think part of you still loves her and you wanna help her.

Tripp: I’m just scared to death that she’s in a place where nothing I do now is gonna make a difference.

[Beep beep]

Ben: That’s my phone. Must’ve fallen out of my pocket when I was fighting evan.

Ciara: Baby, there it is.

Ben: It’s dr. Evans. She called like six times. She must know something.

[Phone rings]

Marlena: Oh! Ben, thank god you called.

Ben: Hey, what’s going on?

Marlena: We found allie. She’s heading for the cemetery.

Ben: What about the baby?

Marlena: I don’t know for sure.

Ben: All right, thank you. She knows where allie is.

Ciara: Hey, hey, not without me, you’re not.

Ben: You just had a baby.

Ciara: Yeah, and I’m gonna be there when we save him and save allie. Now help me find my clothes.

Charlie: You’re not gonna get away. You see, the thing is I’ve had lot of time to work out. Nobody told me hell had such an awesome gym.

Demon allie: Well done, my loyal servant.

Charlie: What now, master? Should I…finish him off? Like pulsing, electric shocks,

Shawn: Don’t get too comfortable. The van from statesville’s on its way. You gonna love solitary.

Evan: Ha. I’m gonna sit there and think about you and ben, ciara, your families… this whole damn town as you look on helplessly while your nephew and the rest of this rotten world all go straight to hell.

Tripp: Wow, I guess you’re right. I was really holding a lot of that in.

Kayla: I’m glad you opened up to us.

Steve: Hey, we’re gonna find allie and we’re gonna help her.

Kayla: Mm-hmm. And she will be saved because there are so many people who love allie horton.

Tripp: And I’m one of those people. Even after everything that’s happened, I’m still in love with her.

Marlena: Heavenly father, please watch over our grandchildren tonight. Bring them home safely to us. And deliver them from evil.

Charlie: Talk about a glass jaw.

Demon allie: Once the ritual of transference is completed, you can get rid of him and the sister.

[Engine revving]

Ciara: You get the hell away from my son.

Ridge: Just when I think you can’t sink any lower.

Taylor: You’re blaming steffy for finn’s death? You killed him! You just admitted it.

Sheila: It was an accident. I would never purposely hurt my son. He just… he jumped in front of a bullet.

Steffy: A bullet meant for me.

Sheila: That’s because you wouldn’t let me take my rightful place in finn’s life as his mother, and hayes’ grandmother. I may have pulled the trigger that horrible night, but finn’s blood is on your hands, steffy. So why don’t you come down off of that high horse of yours? He’d still be alive today, if it weren’t for you.

Brooke: So sheila has basically lost her mind, that is what you’re telling me.

Deacon: That is not at all what I said.

Hope: It kind of, sort of, is.

Brooke: If she thinks she’s gonna be welcomed into steffy and taylor’s family–

Hope: I doubt that’s what’s actually happening.

Deacon: Look, I get that this sounds far-fetched, but remember, I mean it was taylor that reached out and called sheila, invited her over to steffy’S. Taylor is the peacemaker in the family. Who knows? Maybe today marks the start of a whole new beginning for sheila.

Hope: Uhh, I know you, dad. And I feel like there’s something more to this story. Like you’re holding something back.

Deacon: All right look, I completely get why you would be skeptical about taylor summoning sheila for something good. But, the fact of the matter is, that the two of them did form a bond.

[ Laughing ]

Brooke: What? Well, that is– that’s ridiculous.

Deacon: No, it’s true. They– they shared a life altering experience.

Hope: Uh, what? Like what?

Deacon: Like sheila… saving taylor’s life.

Taylor: How dare you blame steffy for the mayhem you caused? Steffy didn’t kill finn. That was you.

Ridge: You put a bullet into your own kid. Took him away from his wife and his son.

Sheila: I lost finn too.

Taylor: I felt so bad for you. Despite everything, despite our past. My family’s warnings, I– I gave you a chance.

Sheila: You know what that meant to me.

Taylor: I gave you an opportunity, sheila. I gave you an opportunity to prove that you were capable of– of change. Of love. Of– of having a place in this family.

Sheila: And I am. Just look at what happened. I saved your life. And you were grateful to me.

Taylor: But the whole time, you knew! You knew, sheila! That my daughter was unconscious and fighting for her life, because you shot her. You never changed. You’re still the same heartless bitch you’ve always been. Want your clothes to smell freshly

Hope: Sheila goes up to the hospital roof, fully intending to jump, and… ends up saving taylor’s life?

Deacon: I know.

Brooke: Must’ve been terrifying for taylor. To find herself dangling off the side of a building. Her life in sheila’s hands.

Deacon: Sheila rose to the occasion.

Brooke: I feel it’s hard to believe that she actually saved a life. The more likely scenario would be, she would take one.

Ridge: And here I thought i knew what you were capable of. Shooting my mother. Shooting taylor. Who knows who else, but… to shoot your own son in cold blood?

Sheila: Don’t say that, because it wasn’t like that.

Ridge: How was it not like that? You took your gun you shot him, he’s dead.

Sheila: I didn’t mean–

Ridge: Oh you didn’t me– I’m sorry. You didn’t mean to? That’s how you justify it? You were trying to kill somebody else? What the hell is wrong with you?

Sheila: None of this would have happened if only steffy would have given me a chance to prove myself.

Steffy: I did. In the alley. And you showed me exactly who you are. You’re a psycho.

Sheila: No. That night is– it’s hazy for me and it all happened so fast. And suddenly finn showed up, where he shouldn’t have been. I pulled that trigger and it was… too late. I– I couldn’t think.

Ridge: You couldn’t think? Well, you could think a little bit, right? You took their money. You– you took their rings. You made it look like a robbery. You thought a little about it.

Steffy: And the cops bought it.

Sheila: You act like it planned this out. But I didn’T. I just reacted. I’m not proud of what I– but–but in the moment it–

Ridge: What moment? Which moment? The moment you killed your son, or the moment you– you shot my daughter? And you left her to die in the street, to go about your life?

Taylor: And then showing up at the hospital with your fake grief and–

Sheila: No, it wasn’t fake. You– you, of all people. You– you know how terrible I felt.

Taylor: You felt terrible, because you murdered your own son. You lied to everyone. And you played me for a fool.

Sheila: No. No, I didn’T.

Taylor: Oh, poor, poor misunderstood sheila. The bereaved mother. The loving grandmother who just wanted a place in hayes’s life. Knowing that you’re responsible. You are responsible for that little boy being fatherless, for my daughter being on death’s door. My god, sheila. How do you even look at yourself?

Ridge: You are sick.

Sheila: That’s what you think, I’m sick? Because I wanted a place in hayes’ and finn’s life. Because I wanted to see brooke finally lose to taylor. You’d be with the woman that you were always meant to be with.

Taylor: Brooke?

Steffy: What does she have to do with this?

Sheila: Brooke took ridge away from the two of you. I was just trying to right a wrong. You have no idea how far above and beyond I have already gone for you.

Steffy: No one knows what you’re talking about.

Sheila: You do.

Steffy: Me?

Sheila: Yes. Go on. Tell them. About new year’s eve. What I put on the line for taylor and ridge.

Ridge: What are you– what? What are you talking about now? New year’s eve. What is it? Answer me. Family is just very important.

Brooke: Explain something to me, deacon. What, exactly, is your relationship with sheila?

Hope: I– I actually would like to know the answer to that, too.

Deacon: You know, if I didn’t know better, I’d say your mother is jealous.

[ Laughing ]

Brooke: I am serious. Why do you keep defending her when you know what a terrible person she is?

Deacon: I don’t know. People say the same thing about me. I think the two of you would counter that I’m not so bad. Am I flawed? Yes. Have I made terrible mistakes–

Hope: Well not like sheila–

Brooke: Exactly. That’s right.

Deacon: Sheila lost her son in a cruel and unexpected way. Hayes lost his father. Steffy lost her husband. Don’t you guys see that for once, sheila, she’s got something in common with the family. Their grief and mourning over a man that everybody loved. What better tribute to finn than giving his mother a chance to be a part of the family that he left behind?

Brooke: As a mother, I do feel bad for sheila.

Deacon: Maybe you could just extend some of that sympathy. Eh– sometimes it just takes one person reaching out.

Brooke: Well it can’t be me. It can’T. Ah, even if I wanted to. Ridge would never allow sheila into their lives.

Ridge: There’s more? What, killing your son and shooting my daughter not enough for you–

Sheila: Stop saying I killed my son. I loved finn more than anything in this world, and I never meant for that to happen.

Steffy: You looked me in the eye and you pulled the trigger. You left me to die.

Sheila: I didn’t want to hurt you though, steffy. You gave me no choice.

Ridge: No choice, what do you mean, no choice? The gun shot itself? Is that–

Taylor: I can’t believe it was you all along. Our daughter almost died.

Sheila: This wasn’t supposed to have– I was on your side. Can’t you see that? That’s what new year’s eve was about. I did this… for you. Because… I love you. I love you all.

Steffy: You’re insane. My son and your daughter, they created a beautiful life together. And I just wanted to be a part of that. Is that so wrong? I just– I kept getting doors slammed in my face. Brooke, of– of course, but what– what hurt the most… was you, steffy.

Steffy: This chance at

a relationship with finn?

With hayes?

It’s over.

It is never going to happen.

Now that I have proof

that you’re still the

same manipulative sociopath

you have always been.

Sheila: No, you called me… dangerous and– and demented. You said I would never have a place in my son’s life. How was I supposed to react? Even as cruel and heartless as you were to me, I still would have forgiven you. I just wanted a little compassion and understanding. No, you wouldn’t give, not– not even an inch. You chose to defend brooke, over me, the woman that wrecked your family.

Taylor: Why do you keep bringing up brooke?

Sheila: Go on, tell them. Tell them why we were arguing that night.

Steffy: I overheard thomas

talking to you on the phone.

Talking about he

couldn’t take it.

The little secret

he was keeping?

How you switched the labels

on brooke’s bottle.

She thought she was drinking

non-alcoholic champagne.

But you made sure it

was the real stuff.

No wonder she turned to vodka.

She was drunk. Because of you.

[ Gasping ]

Taylor: What is it?

Steffy: This whole time. This whole time, brooke was saying how it doesn’t make sense that she would just start drinking out of nowhere, but it– it does make sense. It makes perfect sense. You sabotaged an alcoholic. You set up brooke to drink on new year’s eve. Be ready for whatever life throws your way.

Brooke: Ridge hates sheila. And how could he not? After everything she’s done to people that he loves?

Deacon: I’m not defending any of that. Look, the forresters have every single reason to despise sheila, and ridge more than anyone.

Brooke: Ridge is not going to let sheila con her way into steffy’s life, by way of hayes.

Deacon: I think maybe I’m the one who’s jealous.

Brooke: Why?

Deacon: Ridge’s a lucky guy. The way you defend him, no matter what, the way you just show him unwavering support, even though he’s staying in the same house as taylor. It’S…

Hope: Ah, not technically.

Deacon: Guesthouse. Still too close for comfort. Whatever.

Brooke: Ridge is staying at steffy’s house because of me. Because of something I did. Betrayed his trust, with you.

Deacon: I know, and I’m sorry.

Brooke: I’m not blaming you. It was my fault. And after all this time, I still don’t know what it was that possessed me to drink.

Ridge: Hang on– hang on a second. How does anyone, especially sheila, make brooke drink? How does that happen?

Steffy: Details are still kind of fuzzy, but something about switching the champagne bottles.

Ridge: Is that what you did? You took her non-alcoholic champagne and exchanged it for the real thing? Is that it?

Sheila: I switched the labels. She didn’t have a clue.

Ridge: So you made an alcoholic drink?

Sheila: I did it for your family.

Steffy: Oh god, you really are delusional.

Sheila: No. You and brooke threatened me. You said that I would never have anything to do with my son or my grandson. You. You, I had to deal with. You’re finn’s wife, hayes’ mother. But brooke? How dare she? Judging me as if she’s never done anything wrong? Well, I found that insulting. And quite frankly, none of her damn business.

Ridge: You made my wife drink? Everything that happened after that’s because of you.

Sheila: No. I wanted to give back to you and taylor what was taken from you. Give back what brooke stole. An opportunity for you to be back together again. I got her to drink. But everything that happened after that with deacon? That was just all brooke. I was trying to help you. That was my motivation. If you don’t believe that, just– just ask thomas.

Ridge: Thomas?

Sheila: He knows what happened new year’s eve.

Taylor: He would never keep what you did to brooke from us.

Sheila: I know that he would. He did, because he saw what i did was bringing his parents back together again. You don’t– you don’t believe me, just– just call him.

Steffy: She’s right.

Taylor: What?

Steffy: I heard thomas on the phone with sheila. He knew what she did to brooke.

Sheila: Thank you.

Taylor: Oh, thomas.

Ridge: I’m gonna deal with thomas later. What– how do you– what kind of– what kind of a person are you? Playing with people’s lives. What is wrong with you? Brooke, ever since that night, she’s been trying to figure out what happened. Why she did what she did. You know what she came up with? “I guess… I guess I’m just a horrible person.” But it’s not her at all, is it? It’s you. It’s always been you. You don’t deserve to live. You don’T. No one can forgive you, ever. What you did to brooke. Steffy. Hayes. Finn. They just need to lock you up. And I promise you… every chance I get, I will make you suffer.

Steffy: You set brooke up. You shot me. You left me to die. You killed your own son. There is a special place in hell for you. And that’s exactly where you’re going. After you spend your miserable life behind bars. You tormented my family for far too long. Your reign of terror is over. It ends today.

Sharon: We’re home!

Faith: Mom, I missed you so much!

Sharon: I missed you, too. Ah! You know what? Even though it was a short trip, I’m really glad I’m home.

Faith: I wish you’d let me go with you.

Sharon: You know what, going alone, that was the right decision. And it’s okay. It’s fine, I’m home now.

Faith: Why don’t I take your bags upstairs for you? Meanwhile you can have a nice hot bath, maybe take a nap, get some rest from your trip.

Sharon: Actually, I’m not tired at all. And I promise I’ll tell you all about rey’s memorial later. Right now I want to focus on the wedding that’s happening tomorrow. I’ll bet there’s a couple of brides that could use our love and support.

Tessa: Can you believe it? Tomorrow’s the big day!

Mariah: Did we forget anything? I think I checked everything off the list.

Tessa: Well, did you forget to put anything on the list?

Mariah: That is not a comforting thought. Why would you say something like that?

Tessa: Oh, lists are only as good as you make them.

Mariah: No, I — I think I have everything. It’s all gonna be fine, i promise.

Tessa: Okay.

Mariah: Noah’s taking care of the venue and my mom took care of the flowers before she left for miami, so…

Tessa: Well, we had our final fittings with chelsea.

Mariah: Mm-hmm.

Tessa: And we should get our dresses by the end of the day. Did you write your vows?

Mariah: Yes. Now I just have to practice reciting them without dissolving into a puddle on the floor.

[ Chuckles ]

Tessa: Oh, I can’t wait to recite our vows in front of each other and in front of everyone we love.

Mariah: Oh, no.

Tessa: What?

Mariah: Kyle. Oh, my god, he never confirmed if he was gonna officiate.

Tessa: No, relax. If kyle can’t do it, I’m sure devon will be happy to do it.

Mariah: No, I love devon, but I had my heart set on kyle. I mean, it felt like it was meant to be. How could I let something so big just slip my mind?

[ Knock on door ]

Noah: Okay, brides, grab your things. Come with me. I got something to show you.

Mariah: Does it have to be right now?

Victoria: Ashland. My brother told me about your offer to donate half of your buyout settlement to new hope. Your stipulation being that any project he use it for be done in rey’s name.

Ashland: Yeah, well, I’m — I’m meeting with nick later to hear his decision. I’m hoping he’ll take me up on it.

Victoria: I absolutely agree. A number that large could do a lot of good in the right hands.

Ashland: It pains me to know that you no longer think of my hands as the right hands.

Victoria: I very much appreciate your generous gesture, but after everything you’ve done, I’m sure that you can understand how hard it would be for me to believe that you don’t have an ulterior motive.

Sally: Hope I’m not interrupting. I thought maybe we could go over newman’s updated marketing budget. That is, unless you’ve decided that you’re leaving the company.

Adam: Will you close the door? I’ve thought a lot about what I’m going to do since our last conversation, and after weighing the pros and cons, I have decided that I can’t walk away from my family or the chance of ever running newman enterprises.

Sally: And you believe it’s worth putting up with all the family drama?

Adam: It frustrates me that my dad can’t see that victoria does not deserve the position after everything that went on with ashland, but like I said before, if I were to leave now, she wins.

Sally: Well, I meant what i said. I will support you with whatever you decide.

Adam: I have already made my decision. I want newman enterprises. Every single bit of it. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Sally: Okay. Taking charge of newman enterprises is a strong, bold goal. But didn’t you say you did that once before and it didn’t stick?

Adam: I did.

Sally: Okay, so failure is not an option for you this time. Alright, so how do we pull this off? ‘Cause if it’s what you want, I’m all in.

Adam: It came to me last night. I have the perfect plan. And ashland locke remains the key.

Ashland: I don’t blame you for being suspicious, but i assure you, my motivation is guilt. I just feel that somehow I have to pay back for the wrong that i did to you and your family and for rey rosales’ death.

Victoria: Ashland —

Ashland: No, I know it was an accident, but I also know that none would have been on the road that night if it weren’t for what I did, the pain that i caused you. It was why you were driving that night, it’s why I was following you, and why the three of us were in the wrong place at the wrong time, and I have great regret about all of that.

Victoria: The autopsy report revealed that rey died of a heart attack. That’s what caused the accident. So you don’t need to feel guilty, at least not about that.

Ashland: [ Exhales sharply ] Thank you. You didn’t have to tell me that. You could’ve let me continue to blame myself.

Victoria: Well, I figured that you have enough to feel guilty about. So now that you know that you have no culpability in rey’s death, maybe you want to talk to my brother and let him know that you might want to withdraw your offer.

Ashland: Rey rosales was a good man. He deserves to be honored. My offer still stands.

Sharon: I am okay, faith. Really. The wedding is what we need to turn all of our attention to right now. In fact, I phoned mariah as soon as I touched down. I told her I would head straight over there to help work out any last-minute details. So don’t worry about me, okay?

Nick: Hey, could you give us a second? There’s something I want to talk to your mom about.

Faith: Sure. I’ll go put the gifts together that you asked me to get for the brides.

Sharon: Did something happen?

Nick: No, there’s just something I want to run by you.

Sharon: Okay.

Nick: Somebody wants to make a rather sizable donation to new hope. It is enough to buy buildings and homes and programs for the community, and they want to do it in rey’s name.

Sharon: That’s amazing news. Rey always admired the work that you did at new hope. I know that he would be honored. Can I ask how much?

Nick: It’s $250 million.

Sharon: What?! Who’s the donor?

Nick: That’s the thing. It’s ashland locke.

Mariah: Oh, my god. Noah, you completely transformed that place. I love it.

Tessa: Yeah, the top of the tower looks amazing. It’s not just what you did with the decor, it’s like getting married at an art installation.

Mariah: Yeah, and it turns into this, like, cool party venue afterwards for the reception.

Noah: I think you mean after-party. Right? I mean, “reception” just sounds so — so traditional, so stuffy, so square.

Tessa: Square?

Noah: What? I mean, come on, didn’t you guys trust me to make you something special?

Mariah: No, of course we trusted you, but this is just — it’s beyond.

Noah: Good, ’cause that’s exactly what I was going for.

Tessa: How can we ever thank you?

Mariah: Yeah, words are not enough.

Noah: You know, mariah, i think your undying gratitude is more than enough. Anyway, now that that’s done, i guess you two can get back to freaking out about whatever it was you were freaking out about. Anything I can help with?

Mariah: No, unless you want to become an ordained minister by tomorrow.

Noah: Okay, that doesn’t sound good.

[ Knock on door ]

Mariah: Kyle! Oh, my goodness, thank god. Please, please tell me that you’re here to let us know that you’re officiating the wedding.

Kyle: That’s why I’m here. I need to talk to you about that. -Fixed. -That’s my son.

Nick: Don’t worry, the donation will be anonymous. Ashland’s name can appear nowhere near it. I’ve really been struggling with this, though. I cannot stand that creep. I know exactly why he’s doing it, it’s just to get victoria’s forgiveness.

Sharon: Just take the money, nick.

Nick: Yeah?

Sharon: Take it. Take every dime you can get. I know that you hate that man, and so do I, but rey would want to see something bad turned into something good. And all that money helping so many people in rey’s name — as far as I’m concerned, this is nothing less than poetic justice.

Tessa: Noah, why don’t we go grab some coffee? I think sharon’s gonna be here soon to help us with the final details.

Noah: Yeah, that sounds like it could take some caffeine.

Mariah: Look, I know that you’ve got a whole lot on your plate with your mom, but please tell me you’re not here to disappoint me.

Kyle: I had planned to go back to milan last night. With everything that’s happened with my mother, I really just wanted to get back and talk it over with summer.

Mariah: You were gonna leave without telling me.

Kyle: That’s the thing, I’m so distracted, I forgot about my promise to be here for the wedding, and it hit me while i was packing.

Mariah: Got it. Look, I can’t say I’m not a little disappointed, but i understand why you need to talk to summer.

Kyle: That’s why I called her, and she convinced me to stay in genoa city for the wedding. She’s gonna free up her schedule and come here to support me with my mom.

Mariah: Wait, really? Summer was willing to do that? Well, okay, I guess she’s coming to the wedding, too, and because you’re staying, that means you can officiate, right? I was panicking because I hadn’t heard from you, and then tessa was suggesting devon, and, i mean, I love him, but this means that you can officiate, right? You’re here to save the day?

Sally: Ashland? Didn’t you just broker a half a billion dollar deal to get rid of him? How is he now the linchpin in a plan to take control of newman?

Adam: I thought that me getting ashland out would make me a hero in my dad’s eyes and earn his gratitude. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen, but dad still despises locke for what he did to victoria.

Sally: Justifiably.

Adam: And even after everything locke has done, my sister still seems to be conflicted.

Sally: Well, I mean, she still loves him. It’s not surprising you can’t just turn your heart off like a light switch. It’s hard to believe that someone that you love so much, you thought loved you, could betray you like that.

Adam: Well, I think she’s definitely still struggling with that.

Sally: Yeah, I mean, who wouldn’t? It’s hard to face the fact that your husband really is the monster that everyone else tried to tell you that he was. She thought she tamed the savage beast.

Adam: And then he rescued her in a burning car and saved her life.

Sally: Yeah, but I don’t — i don’t think that was orchestrated. Do you?

Adam: No. But I do think that he is going to try to use that to win her back.

Sally: Well, maybe he really loves her. ‘Cause betraying her and loving her aren’t mutually exclusive.

Adam: I think it is more about ego and being rejected than love, but regardless of what his motivations are, I realized something. If ashland were to win back victoria’s love and trust, one of two things is gonna happen. Either ashland is gonna get victoria as far away from my father and all things newman as possible, or dad is gonna be so furious that she took him back, he’s finally going to question her ability to run the company.

Sally: But either way, it blows the door wide open for you to take over.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sally: Makes sense. But all of this is predicated on ashland winning victoria back. So where do we come in?

Adam: Well, what if we were able to help reignite the romance?

Ashland: Ah. I was pleased to hear from you.

Nick: I’ve decided to accept your donation to new hope, on one condition.

Ashland: What’s that?

Nick: The donation remains anonymous as discussed. If you are truly doing this out of the goodness of whatever heart you claim to have and it’s not an attempt to repair your disgraced reputation, shouldn’t be a problem, right?

Ashland: That was always my intention.

Nick: Well, then we got a deal. But just so you know, this doesn’t make us cool. I think you’re a snake and you always will be.

Ashland: Well, I’m glad you’re accepting my offer. I have no expectation it will change your view of me.

Nick: Good. ‘Cause it won’T. I know you’re doing this to make yourself look better in victoria’s eyes.

Ashland: You’re making assumptions with no basis whatsoever.

Nick: If you truly loved my sister and you wanted what’s best for her, you would leave town forever and give her a chance to rebuild her life that you ripped to shreds with all your lies and deceit.

Ashland: I am not leaving town. Harrison is here. I intend to spend as much with him as possible, but I will promise you this — I won’t cause victoria any more hurt than I already have. I am solely focused on improving myself right now. In fact, that’s what this entire donation is about — a small first step towards making amends.

Nick: I don’t buy it for one second. And I don’t trust you as far as I can spit. You’re just trying to maneuver your way back into victoria’s life so you can manipulate her again, but I’m letting you know right now, I and the rest of the family will not let that happen again.

Ashland: Nick, you don’t intimidate me at all. The newmans have already closed ranks around victoria and tried to run me out of town. Obviously, it didn’t work.

Nick: Well, next time, we’ll get a little more creative and certainly more extreme.

Sally: Your plan is intriguing, and I love how passionate you are about all of it. But it’s kind of risky, because if victor finds out that you’re the one pulling the strings, he could turn on you, and there’s no coming back from that.

Adam: That’s why we have to be extremely subtle. We can’t appear to be matchmaking. And we certainly can’t collude with ashland in any way.

Sally: No, absolutely not, because we know he can’t be trusted.

Adam: Well, if we do this right, my father will never know that we instigated the whole thing. That is what is genius about this plan is we don’t have to do anything overt for it to work. We don’t have to make any deals, no bribes. And no one but the two of us will know anything about it.

Sally: So how do we pull this off?

Adam: Well, all we need to do is plant a few seeds, laying the groundwork for victoria and ashland to get back together. Clearly he is already working on that. Why else would he be sticking around after the big payout?

Sally: Then we just fan a few flames and ride the coattails of ashland’s efforts.

Adam: Right into the newman enterprises ceo office. Because if victoria were to take ashland back, my father would have to question her state of mind and her fitness for the job.

Kyle: Mariah, I know you’re counting on me, but I’m afraid i might end up letting you down. I mean, right now I’m in such a confused head space, I could mess up everything.

Mariah: Why would you say that?

Kyle: I almost forgot i promised to officiate your wedding and hopped a plane back to milan.

Mariah: Look, I appreciate your candor, and I know how distracted you’ve been with everything you’re going through. Because I know that you want to be there for me and that you could never, ever do anything to disappoint me.

Kyle: Not intentionally. Of course not. But —

Mariah: No “buts.” Look, maybe tomorrow is the perfect way to clear your head from some of the turmoil you’ve been in. You’d be a part of a day that represents love and romance. Plus, you’d be launching us into this amazing journey of bonding, family, motherhood. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have brought that up. I know what you’re going through.

Kyle: It’s okay. You and tessa will make amazing moms.

Mariah: And none of that would be possible without you. I will never forget what you did for tessa and me. Pushing us into that first date. And it’ll be like the magical completion of the circle. And, you know, magic is way too rare to say no to, right?

Tessa: Do you think that mariah’s gonna be able to get kyle to officiate? I just know it means so much to her, and I got crystal at the wedding, so I want to make sure that she gets everything she wants.

Noah: You two.

Tessa: What?

Noah: You always want the best for each other.

Tessa: Well, I mean, that’s how I knew I was falling in love. I wanted something for someone else more than I wanted anything for myself.

Noah: And that is why i sincerely hope that this is the most extraordinary wedding ever. It’s what you both deserve.

Tessa: I mean, you’ve already done so much for us. The top of the tower looks like a magical space. I absolutely cannot wait for the guests to see it. And I am glad that we got past all the awkwardness between us.

Noah: Yeah, me too. And I’m glad the three of us were able to work through it, and I have you to credit for being so open and honest with mariah and me. Tessa, I hope you know that I’ll always love you, as a friend and as the woman who has made my sister very, very happy.

Tessa: Your friendship means so much to me. And soon we’re gonna be family.

Noah: [ Chuckles ]

Tessa: [ Laughs ]

Ashland: Hmm. Interesting. Is this part of what you were warning me about, the newman effort to do something more extreme?

Nick: I hate to sound ungracious about a quarter of a billion dollars donation, but can we get this moving?

Ashland: Sure.

[ Clears throat ] Yes, the wire transfer we talked about. Yes. To the new hope account. Thank you. Done.

Nick: Well, thank you, ashland, for your generosity. And at least it’ll be in rey’s name and not yours.

Ashland: And I know you’ll put the money to good use.

Nick: Oh, I will. At least one good thing will come from all your lies.

Adam: Well, I bet you think if you give half your payout money to new hope, it’s a clever power play. I mean, how can victoria not look positively on that, right? I mean, that doesn’t mean that she’s even gonna consider forgiving you and taking you back. Don’t tell me that you’re actually holding out hope for that. The lows of bipolar depression

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

[ Knock on door ]

Nikki: Hey, where’s the coffee you promised me from crimson lights?

Victoria: I’m sorry. I completely forgot.

Nikki: Isn’t that why you went there?

Victoria: [ Sighs ] I just — I got distracted.

Nikki: Really?

Victoria: I ran into ashland, and I told him that I had heard about his charitable offer.

Nikki: Uh-huh. Did you make it clear that his very expensive ploy to earn your forgiveness won’t work?

Victoria: He didn’t know that rey had a heart attack and that’s what caused the accident.

Nikki: So did that change his mind about making the donation in rey’s name?

Victoria: No.

Nikki: Honey, I sense that you’re haunted by your feelings for ashland. Is that true? Because if it is, it’s perfectly normal to feel conflicted.

Victoria: I have no residual feelings lingering. I’ve been able to push them all away.

Nikki: Well, I think maybe you’ve pushed them down, not away, and that will only make your emotional turmoil worse down the line. Honey, it’s best to deal with it now, before it eats you up inside.

Kyle: Okay, fine! You’re right. Officiating your wedding is the right thing to do. You win.

Mariah: Yes! Oh, my gosh, thank you so much! Thank you. I knew you wouldn’t let me down.

Kyle: Well, you sure did pour it on thick.

Mariah: Oh, I can be very persuasive when I want something, especially if it’s

this important to me.

Kyle: Yeah, and I’m honored. And don’t let the fact that you had to push me into it detract from how meaningful this is to me. And I’m thrilled you even asked.

Mariah: The minute that I saw that you were back in genoa city, I just knew it was meant to be. I just had to convince you of that.

Kyle: Job well done.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ]

Kyle: Well, I promise you my head is on straight now. I will take care of everything this afternoon, and I’ll be ready for tomorrow.

Mariah: Okay, it’s just a few clicks on the internet, and then you will be ready to pronounce us wife and wife. And don’t worry about writing anything. We’re gonna give you a script.

Kyle: Uh, I may want to say a few words myself, if you don’t mind.

Mariah: I don’t mind at all. I’m just so grateful that you’re willing to do this. And don’t worry, okay? I am here for you as a friend. I’ve got your back while you’re dealing with your mom, okay?

Ashland: What I want or plan is none of your damn business.

Adam: Well, that is a bit rude, considering I’m the reason you have half a billion dollars to toss around in the first place.

Ashland: I regret I took that money at all. It wasn’t worth giving up the woman I love.

Adam: I don’t buy that. You made your choice. You knew what the terms were. And requirements that you don’t seem to eager to honor now.

Ashland: Well, let me remind you again the terms of the deal. I agreed to walk away from the company and have my marriage annulled. That’s it. I have upheld my end of the bargain. So what’s the problem?

Adam: The problem is that victoria fell for you at all. And she wasn’t the one that drove you out of town after she found out what you had done. It’s like she is still hanging on to the fantasy of the guy she thought she had fallen in love with.

Tessa: Look who I found.

Mariah: Hey!

Sharon: Hi.

Mariah: Mom, welcome back.

Sharon: Thank you. Faith and I stopped by the florist on our way here. You’ll be happy to know everything’s on track for tomorrow.

Faith: The flowers will be delivered first thing tomorrow morning.

Sharon: So what’s next?

Mariah: Well, mom, you’ve got to be exhausted from your trip.

Tessa: Yeah, mariah’s right. Maybe you should rest.

Noah: Yeah, you don’t want to be worn out for tomorrow, right?

Mariah: I’m still sorry that one of us didn’t go with you.

Sharon: Okay, you guys need to stop worrying about me. You know, maybe it’ll help if i tell you about rey’s service.

Mariah: How was it?

Sharon: It was really lovely. And it helped me to be there with them as we all said our goodbyes. It was really emotional, but i was very grateful to have that time with celeste and lola and arturo and their extended family and friends, and they all had so many nice things to say about rey. And they understood why I came there alone.

Mariah: How is lola?

Sharon: She is very excited hearing about your wedding plans, and she’s really sorry that she can’t make it.

Faith: I’m sorry, too.

Sharon: Okay, well, no more “sorrys,” no more sadness. All that matters now is making sure that we pull off the perfect wedding tomorrow for our beautiful brides. Rey would want nothing less than that. So what else do we have to do?

Trelegy for copd.

Tessa: I think we’ve got everything under control.

Mariah: Yeah, especially now that we have kyle locked in to officiate.

Tessa: Alright, he’s in!

Mariah: Mm-hmm.

Faith: Kyle will be great.

Mariah: No, I think we’re good. Mom, you should see the venue. Noah nailed it.

Sharon: Well, I would expect nothing less from my brilliant, talented son.

Faith: How about we give mom a project to work on? I mean, she won’t be happy unless she’s busy doing something for the big day.

[ Laughter ]

Mariah: Let me think. Ooh, the gift bags. We still need to assemble them and put in, like, our party favors, our keepsakes.

Sharon: Yeah, I’d be happy to.

Faith: I volunteer to be your assistant.

Sharon: Great. And speaking of gifts, I have one for the brides.

Mariah: Oh, wow.

Sharon: This is face masks, nail polish, bubble bath, and herbal tea — everything you need to just pamper yourselves today.

Tessa: That is so thoughtful.

Mariah: Leave it to you to get the perfect pre-wedding gift.

Sharon: Well, all I want is for you to just relax today and accept that everything’s done. And if it’s not, we are going to take care of it, because all that matters is that tomorrow we have the perfect wedding for the two most perfect brides.

Noah: That’s the plan.

Sharon: All you need right now is each other, and tomorrow you’ll have your family around to hear you say your vows.

Mariah: Thanks, mom.

Sharon: Faith and I better get going on this project. We’ll just check in with you later.

Mariah: Yeah.

Noah: Yeah, I should go too, actually. I have some last-minute things i need to do at the venue.

Sharon: Alright.

Mariah: Bye. Love you. Mwah. Bye. Love you.

Tessa: See you guys tomorrow.

Mariah: [ Sighs, chuckles ]

Tessa: Tomorrow. Just think.

Mariah: We’re gonna be saying our vows, bonding our lives together forever.

Tessa: I can’t wait.

Sally: Well, the coast is clear. From what I could see, the hint that victoria still has feelings for ashland hit a bullseye.

Adam: You really think so?

Sally: Yes, I could see his eyes light up, and the best part was the fact that you made it seem like an insult. Well played.

Adam: I will see you back at the office. Think it’s time to plant another seed.

Victoria: You’re right, mom. Despite everything, there is still a part of me that loves ashland.

[ Sighs ] And I hate feeling this way. I hate it. It’s — it’s mortifying.

Nikki: Honey, you can’t beat yourself up over this.

Victoria: And you know what the worst part of it is? I keep thinking, “what if, for the first time in his life, ashland is telling the truth?” What if falling in love with me has changed him and he regrets what his lies have done to all of us? Oh, my god, just hearing myself say that, I just feel weak and i feel helpless. And…believe me, I am doing my damndest to push these feelings away. It’s humiliating.

Nikki: As much as I hate what ashland did, everything you just said is perfectly reasonable.

Victoria: It is?

Nikki: Yes! Your father had to show me a lot of proof before I could believe that ashland had done all of these things. It was just so hard because his love for you seemed so sincere, and I thought, “well, my goodness, how could anyone possibly fabricate something like this?” I mean, I don’t know, maybe his love for you is the only true thing about him. But if it is, is that really worth complete forgiveness?

Victoria: [ Sighs ] No, of course not. Nothing could undo the wrong that he did to all of us.

Nikki: What about saving your life?

Sharon: So how’d it go with ashland?

Nick: Well, as much as I hate spending any time around that guy, I stayed just long enough to close the deal. So now new hope has $250 million to spend on life-changing projects for people in need, and it’s all in rey’s name.

Sharon: You did the right thing, nick. I can’t wait to go to the first ribbon-cutting ceremony. And I know that rey will be smiling down on us.

Nick: Yeah. So what’s on the agenda for the rest of your day?

Sharon: Oh, mariah has asked me to assemble these gift bags just to keep me busy and feeling useful. Faith went out to get some supplies, but I am going to floor her with how amazing these gift bags are gonna be.

Nick: Hey. Look at me. How you are really? And you don’t have to be careful with me. The kids aren’t around, so they can’t overhear. It’s just you and me. With depression, you just feel…blah.

Victoria: I’m still trying to figure out what it means — ashland rescuing me. Adam. Is there something that we can help you with?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] You know, I can’t help but point out the lack of gratitude for getting ashland out of your life and out of our company.

Victoria: And I can’t get over your need for continual positive reinforcement. You know you’re never gonna thrive in business that way. It’s not always all about you.

Nikki: Again, is there something we can do for you?

Adam: I just wanted to come by to tell victoria that I’ve accepted her decision not to be named co-ceo. And I’m not gonna fight you on it or work on our dad to pressure you about it.

Victoria: Oh, gee, thank you so much for your acceptance. But not that I need it, it’s a done deal.

Adam: Ah. I’m gonna turn my attention back to newman media and turning it into the powerhouse I know it can be. Congratulations, nikki, on your new position.

Nikki: Thank you.

Adam: Mm-hmm. I look forward to working with you both.

Nikki: The hell was that about?

Victoria: I have no idea, but I could use a little fresh air and a break from all things newman.

Sharon: Well, it was hard in miami at first. Seeing how deeply so many people will miss rey. But loss also brings people together. And I really bonded with celeste and lola and arturo over our grief, and we said goodbye. Lola’s very excited about the wedding. Um…arturo’s little boy, he didn’t really understand why we were all there together. He just knew that he was surrounded by people he loves, and that was a reminder that we need to celebrate all we have right now. Because life goes on.

Nick: That’s what we have to focus on.

Sharon: That’s why I’m putting all of my energy into making sure that mariah and tessa have an amazing day.

Nick: Well, I am very, very proud of you and your strength.

Sharon: You and I have been through hell before, more than once. We’ve always made it through. Really, what other choice is there? But that’s why this wedding, this joyous, life-affirming event couldn’t be coming at a better time.

Sally: Victoria. How are you doing since the accident?

Victoria: I’m healing.

Sally: I’m sorry for everything you’ve been through.

Victoria: Thank you.

Sally: I’m impressed that you’re back to work so soon. After everything that’s happened, I bet you’re here to just escape the office intrigue. It’s actually perfect timing because I have been wanting to speak with you. Can I buy you a drink?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

my hero. Okay.

[ Chuckling ] Hold on there.

[ Breathes sharply ] What’s it going to cost me to help you out? A mere moment of your time and expertise. I promise I’ll make it worth your while. Mm, I don’t need your money, spencer. Well, then, my sparkling wit and companionship. I mean, I’d love that, but wouldn’t your little esme be jealous?

[ Breathes sharply ] Esme: Need a hand? Bobbie, I mean it — mac was giving me clear and present baby vibes.

[ Chuckling ] Yes. He did take biology in high school. I don’t — I didn’t really know what to tell him. I mean, I was — I was completely taken aback. I was surprised.[ Knock on door ] Oh, um, yeah. I — uh, you know, I don’t really know if it’s an issue now, and it hasn’t come up since. Look, if mac and I both wanted to make our family bigger back in the day, we lost our shot. You know, for some, kids just aren’t in the cards.

[ Sighs ] I got it. Drew: Okay. Alright. Did you — you didn’t touch it, right? No, I didn’t touch it.

[ Door unlocking ] Of course I used the bag.

[ Whispers indistinctly ] Just trying to wind down for a little bit. [ Sighs ] Uh, mom? Drew? What are you doing here? Willow: Did we forget to lock the door? No, we locked it. Yeah, sorry to barge in unannounced. Um… I’d like to say this is my fault, but really, it’s all on carly. Mm-hmm, yes, but just because elizabeth never spoke to nikolas about staying at wyndemere doesn’t mean she didn’t actually get there, right? I mean, it’s a big place. Isn’t there, like, a west wing where she could be, but no one’s seen her — yeah. Okay. No, uh-huh. No, you’re right, ava. Alright. Um… yes, I will let you know when I find her. Thanks. [ Sighs ]

[ Doors sliding open ] Finn! Do you know where elizabeth is? I was about to ask you the same thing. Chelsea: This presence is being very clear — they don’t want this new family to be formed in this house. No. No, I refuse to believe that. The franco I knew, the franco I loved only wanted to see me happy. I-is he here now? Can he hear me? Tell him I believe he’s here. Tell him I’m ready to listen.

[ Cellphone vibrating ] S-so much turbulence! Tell him I want to talk to him. Elizabeth, please! Franco, it’s me. I’m here. You have to be careful not to — I’m so sorry I didn’t believe it could be you b-before, but I’m — I’m listening now. Just send me a sign.

[ Window clicks open ]

[ Wind rushes ]


[ Door closes ] I’m pretty sure we came in together, drew. I — if you’re not going to come clean, I will. Okay, um… I was walking up the driveway, and I saw carly messing with the door, and if I didn’t know any better, I would have thought she was a burglar. [ Chuckles ] But it turns out she was after what can’t be stolen. She just wanted face time with you and with willow. I mean, she knows you’re going through it, and your mom wanted to help. I called, but I couldn’t get through, and I know it seems really overboard, but I just wanted to be here, you know, when you got home. Yeah. Yeah, I had the key, so I thought she’d be more comfortable waiting in here than — than in the main house, that’s all. That’s very sweet of you, carly. Thank you. Of course. We were just at the cemetery visiting jonah’s grave. I hope that brought you some solace — being there. Yeah, well, it would have if we hadn’t run into dad and nina. I have to call you back. Okay. Bye. Hi. Hey. I-I was on my way home. I thought I would pop in and see maxie and the kids. Um, maxie’s burning the midnight oil at deception, and the kids are asleep. Oh. As they should be at this —

[Sighs] This time of night. Yeah. I am so sorry. I didn’t realize how late it was. I’ll just — I’ll come back at a more appropriate time. Sorry. Kiss the kids for me, okay? Have a good night. Nina, do you like popcorn? Who doesn’t like popcorn? With the butter, with the fake kind? Oh, like, the only kind? Come on in. Come on. Esme has no issue with our friendship. But even still, I — just don’t tell her about this conversation.

[ Chuckles ] Secrets and lies, the hallmarks of a healthy relationship. Oh, come on. No, you come on. I mean, it’s just so cassadine. Mm. But I suppose it comes by you naturally. Are you finished? I don’t think so. This is the most fun I’ve had all day. Well, I need your help.

[ Sighs ] Fine. Thank you. I will help you.

[ Breathes sharply ] But only if… no, britt. Yeah, y-you have to ask me nicely, spencer. Oh, my god. One sentence, three words, in the voice.

[ Chuckles ] Pwetty pwease, bwitt?

[ Laughs ]

[ Chuckles ] Oh, man, that just brought me back. Oh, you are so darn cute ,and almost as bratty. You’re wicked, you know that? Do you want to hear it? No. Mm-hmm.

[ Beeps ] Spencer:

Pwetty pwease, bwitt? Oh. [ Laughs ] Nice. That’s awesome. Great. Perfect. My new ringtone.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] So, what do you need?

[ Clears throat ]

[ Breathes deeply ] Can you tell me what this is? I didn’t know you were scheduled tonight. Oh, um, I-I wasn’T. I’m just behind on hours, so I’m trying to make some up. Well, uh, I got it from here. Thanks. Okay. Hey, um, what’s — what’s that mess about down the hall? Is one of the inmates sick? I hope your supervisor isn’t due to make rounds. Be right back.

[ Sighs ] Not with that mess, you won’T.

[ Chuckles ] Oh-ho-ho. Well played, my sweet child.

[ Chuckles ] Elizabeth had, uh, given me the impression that she had reached out to nikolas about staying at wyndemere, but when I spoke to nikolas, he said he hadn’t spoken to her yet. And…ordinarily, I wouldn’t be concerned, but — I know, under these circumstances, I think you’re right to wonder.

[ Sighs ] Any guesses? Um, I was just talking to my brother martin — he said that elizabeth has been… looking for answers from an unlikely source. Lucy. Yeah. And apparently, lucy gave elizabeth the name of her medium. Then that’s where elizabeth is. Shall we? Yes, we shall. Okay.

[ Shuddering ] Chelsea, say something. Ohh! S-s-so cold.

[ Shuddering ] Oh, god. A-a-are you alright? Chelsea…? I’m not chelsea. Franco?


What are you doing walking around with loose meds? I found it. Just lying on the ground? Does it really matter, britt? It could, depending on what it is. Well, that’s where you come in. Hand it to me. And you’ll be able to tell me what it is? Yes. You just research

[Chuckling] The code. No way — it’s really that simple? What did they teach you in that fancy french boarding school?

[ Clears throat ] Uh, latin, greek, table manners, conversation. You have so much to learn. What? Okay. No more messing around. Whose is this? I wish I could finagle a way to see you more often, but your brother is like a human roadblock. Kevin is a wart. The good news is, warts can be treated. Besides, we have other priorities. How are things proceeding? Hm, they’re humming along. Ava and nikolas are definitely on the rocks, and I’ve lured spencer back into the fold, as promised. Then why are you here? I just wanted to keep you apprised. Rule number one? I know the rules. Prove it.

[ Sighs ] “No unplanned, uncontrolled communication.” No unplanned communication because that increases the risk that I’ll be found out, and no one can know that I’m back in fighting form. So I’ll ask you again. Why are you here? How badly have you screwed things up for me? Nina: Thank you. You’re welcome. Ooh, what’s that? Parmesan garlic. Stop! Okay. Yeah. [ Laughs ] Hit me. I know. There you go — a little bit more. Perfect, alright. Old bay is good — good, too, but then I’m craving fried shrimp. Oh, and then it’s all over, right? Exactly. Yeah. Listen, I did not learn much about cooking growing up, but ordering takeout? I am the master. But not so much in the kitchen. Well, first of all, you should know that this is snacking and not cooking.

[ Sighs ]

[ Chuckling ] Alright. Got it.

[ Laughs ] But I’m happy to share all my tips. I never get it when — what? When people have secret recipes and they don’t want to share what’s in them. I mean, why is that? If it’s so delicious, just share it with the world, you know? Yeah, I agree.

[ Laughs ] Anyway, people are funny.

[ Chuckles ] Thank you, felicia. Oh, it’s just popcorn. No, thank you for inviting me in.

The invader is set to run a huge story about me soon. I heard. Bobbie spencer is one of my best friends. Carly’s mother? Mm-hmm. And michael’s grandmother, and wiley’S… mm-hmm, two more times.

[ Breathes deeply ] She was the one I was talking to when you got here. So why didn’t you slam the door in my face? Jonah’s grave? Honestly, is any place sacred to nina? Well, she was at the cemetery to visit her daughter.

[ Sighs ] Yeah, nina’s still clinging on to this — this fantasy that she could have had a beautiful relationship with nelle, if she only had time to save her. As if nelle could have ever been saved. [ Laughs ] Yeah, well, you know, that ends the whole nature versus nurture debate, right? Because nelle clearly inherited her crazy from nina. I mean, yeah, that’s one way to look at it. But then what does it say about wiley? I’m just saying, if you’re right and it doesn’t matter how or by whom you’re raised, then wiley would inherit the crazy, too, and I know you don’t believe that. No, I don’T. Franco? As beautiful as the day I laid eyes on you.

[ Voice breaking ] Is it really you? No matter how many times I put brush to canvas — and believe me, I’ve tried — I could never capture all of you — could never show the world what you meant to me. I’ve missed you so much. Don’t cry. You need to be strong. For what? Why are you doing these things? You can’t move on till you’re at peace. How can I be at peace without you? I’m always with you, elizabeth. Believe in yourself, no matter how hard you try. Don’t look away. Don’t look away from what? What — what does that even mean? Franco, talk to me. Talk to me.


Oh. Oh. What happened?

[ Door closes ] No. No, franco, come back. Hi. What — what’s going on? Chelsea? Oh, mayor collins. It’s been a long time. Yes. Why are you here? Well, you — you never showed up at wyndemere, and I-I got a little concerned, and, um… laura had mentioned that you hooked up with this…person, and, um, we came looking for you. Well, you showed up at the worst possible time. I was right in the middle of communicating with… with, uh, franco’s spirit? He was here. Look, I hope it didn’t sound like I’m defending nina because I’m not. No, I know you’re not. But… nina is wiley’s grandmother, right? And of course, you can keep her from him now — that’s your right, obviously — but when wiley’s a little bit older, he might want to get to know nina. Yeah, look, when that happens, I-if that happens, wiley will be armed with a knowledge of her history and what she’s done and what she’s capable of doing. And here’s another fact — nina is a horrible person, and no amount of good pr can change that. That’s right. Okay. You guys could probably use some time to decompress. Yeah, it’s — it’s a good idea. And I’m sorry. I’m — I’m sorry for just showing up. I promise, next time, I’ll be in touch. Okay? Carly, you know what? I have an idea. Why don’t we make this easier? Next time, you can… let yourself in. Thank you. But still call first. I will. [ Laughs ] Oh! Come here. Whose is this? What is it? I asked you a question. I asked first. Damn it, spencer — answer mine and I’ll answer yours. It’s an opioid analgesic. What? So it’s like heroin? Not quite, el chapo. It’s a controlled substance, and it can be habit-forming. Definitely shouldn’t be rolling around on the ground for a teenager to pick up or swipe from someone’s medical cabinet. Is it for pain? Yes. Severe pain management. Now it’s your turn. It’s esme’S. Does she get headaches? Does she complain about indigestion or dry mouth? Because those are some of the side effects. Are there others? Yes. It can make you tired, nervous. What happens if you mix it with alcohol? Esme: Everything’s fine. I haven’t failed you, I swear. You can never fail me. You’re my one and only. But something’s clearly amiss now. Come on, tell daddy what it is.

[ Sighs ] It’s spencer. He’s been… behaving strangely. In what way? He’s been… reluctant to… be with me. How long has it been? We haven’t been intimate with each other since he got out of here. Spencer says it’s because we’re learning to trust each other again, and he wants it to be special. Mm-hmm. And it’s unusual for him to be so distant? Yes. Unusual for any man of his age and appetites. Especially with such a willing partner. Well, I suppose it’s possible he has a romantic streak. What else? It’s probably nothing. Come on, spit it out. I went to find spencer at kelly’s today, um, but he wasn’t there, and cameron said he was running an errand for work. But then I found him at wyndemere, and he was going through my things. Did he find anything? The meds I used to drug trina robinson were in there. And my nanny maggie’s letters. You fool! Spencer’s on to you!


Franco was here? Was I his vessel? That would explain why I lost time. I — elizabeth: No, I-it’s — it’s true. We reached out to him, and he came. That’s wonderful. I-I spoke with him through chelsea. He told me t-to be strong and to believe in myself and to not look away. And that means something to you? I don’t know. It just happened. But don’t you see? This is the answer we’ve been looking for. All of these strange things that are happening — this was franco sending us a message. He was here. He’s been here all along. Why are you asking me about mixing this with alcohol? Would that be a problem? Or not really? Yeah, that would be a very big problem. Just one of those on top of booze would make a person very sloppy. Sloppy how? They’d stagger, they’d fall behind in conversation. They’d — they’d just not be themselves. Think of it like this — take normal drunken behavior and amplify it 2 to 3 times. It can even give you a seizure. Could it make you forget things? Yes, it can cause short-term memory loss, like blacking out after a heavy night of drinking. Why? Have you seen this in esme? No. No, not in esme. Okay. Enough of this. Enough of this “pharma consult” you have me doing. This is serious. What is going on? I-I don’t see how spencer could know anything. He’s sleeping alone, esme, drawn to another girl. He’s looking through your things. T-t-there was nothing to find. I got rid of the prescription label, and maggie’s letters don’t refer to you by name — it doesn’t matter what he did or did not find! What matters is he looked. He’s as false as you are. Worse — he’s shared his suspicions with elizabeth baldwin’s whelp. We don’t know that. Of course we do. Otherwise, cameron wouldn’t have lied about where spencer was. It was right in front of you, and you were too arrogant to see it. I warned you about that boy. I told you to remain on task. But you just couldn’t give up your little toy. And now here we are — everything we’ve built in danger of crashing down. Wrong. Everything you’ve built. There’s still time for me. Well, uh, as bobbie’s best friend, I-I am surprised that you didn’t [Sighs] Sic the police on me, o-or at the very least, your husband. Mac has bigger fish to fry. And as james’ grandmother, I have a responsibility to uphold. Maxie loved nathan, and nathan loved you. Nathan was your brother, and james is your nephew. And to me, that makes us family. Well, that acknowledgment could really cost you. With bobbie, you mean?

[ Breathes deeply ] Yeah, I — I — I really think we’ve gotten past that. I mean, yes, we do have our differences, and we’ve really gotten down in the mud every now and then, but there’s a bond there. The sacrifice that she and tony made is always just under the surface. Some ties just can’t be cut. Including a tie with me? I know the pain of motherhood when it’s staring me in the face. And I would be a liar if I said that…

[ Sniffles ] …When I look you in the eye, I didn’t see a little bit of myself. What’s wrong? I mean, besides the obvious, of course. I-I was glad to see that you and drew could have a civil conversation about nina. Yeah. I mean, drew and I — we have a solid relationship. You know, we trust and respect each other implicitly. I can tell. Even though he has a little more grace where nina is concerned, I know that he’s just looking out for wiley.

[ Sighs ] I got nervous when the subject came up. Why? Well, after what happened with your father, I didn’t want the same thing to go down with you and drew. Hey. What? You want to tell me why you didn’t talk to me the whole ride over here? Because that was some stunt you pulled back there. And here I thought I came to your rescue — twice. Rescue? Okay. If I have some explaining to do, just let me do the explaining. You were like a deer in the headlights. I had to come up with something. Really? Did you have to sing grandma nina’s praises?

[ Chuckling ] I did not sing her praises. You know what I mean. What was the point of that? I believe it’s in your purse right now — dna from a stolen toothbrush and — and a glass that together might prove that nina is willow’s mother, and if that is the case — that’s a big “if.” If it’s the case, isn’t it better that michael and nina aren’t in battle right now? That would be better, wouldn’t it, carly?


I’m telling you — franco was here. You don’t believe me. No. That’s not it.

[ Sighs ] I-I get that you want to believe. You think I’m losing it. No, honey, no one said that. I think that you are frustrated and angry after months of searching for answers and coming up empty. Yes, I think you’re considering some solutions that are… crazy? No. Unorthodox. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Elizabeth, come home with me. But there’s nothing to be afraid of here anymore. It was franco all along. If esme is in any way misusing these drugs, you need to help me put a stop to it. I don’t know anything for sure. Okay, but even if you suspect — I’ll take care of it, okay? How? I will handle that. Spencer, no, we’re not — hey, we’re not done. Look, I can’t stand by in good conscience and not do anything. It’s a little bit late in life for you to grow a conscience, don’t you think, britt?

[ Scoffs ] Ouch. I’m sorry, but I came to you for information, not a lecture, and now that I know what’s what, we’re good. Thank you. Okay, enabling esme does her no good.

[ Sighs lightly ] If you care about her — if you want your girlfriend to be healthy and be in a healthy relationship, you can’t let this go on. What? No, I’m just wondering… what the hell would you know about a healthy relationship, britt? Are you threatening me? I’m just exploring my options. I’m fairly certain the authorities would much rather learn about your status update than come after me. You’d sacrifice me, just like that? If it means saving myself… in a heartbeat.

[ Breathes sharply ] You remind me of your mother. How so? Well , I learned early onnever to turn my back on her. I’m glad to see you’ve inherited her instinct for self-preservation. Now, come on, let’s start over, shall we? We’re all each other has. We have to stick together. Now, come on. It’s just…

[ Sighs ] I can’t believe spencer would do this to me. I-I-it hurts so much. I know. I know the feeling. To give yourself so much to someone, to lay yourself at the mercy of another person, and then they just exploit it. Manipulate it. Crush it, like between their forefinger and thumb. You shouldn’t have done that, felicia!

[ Shouting ]

[ Shouting ] It’s pure agony. And there’s only one thing to do in return — make them all pay. What is it of you that you see in me? Oh, you know, a gorgeous, badass woman with feet made for kicking butt.

[ Both laugh ] I see a woman who’s made a lot of mistakes — the kind that aren’t easily let down. Well, you did. Mm, I didn’t have a choice.

[ Chuckling ] There’s always a choice. Not a good one. It was either… spending the rest of my days in the shadow of my mistakes and watching my daughter walk away from me… or facing her and fixing things.

[ Sighs ] The only real shame is in giving up. Can I ask you something? Shoot. What am I going to say to james if he comes to me with a fistful of invader newspapers and demands answers? Print will be dead then.

[ Chuckles ] No, but… what am I going to tell him? I imagine that you’ll tell him the same thing that you’ll tell wiley when he asks you the same questions. That day is coming, too. I thought we were on the same page about my dad. You said that you were behind me 100%. And I meant it. I completely support your decision, michael, even if I’m not sure it’s the right one. You love your father. Can you honestly say cutting him out of your life doesn’t hurt? Of course it hurts. Okay. Well, when you hurt, I hurt, too. And so does wiley. Our son is sensitive, michael. He knows when something is wrong. Like this morning, when he found me crying over harmony. And — and, yes, we can’t shield him from every bad feeling, every loss. We wouldn’t want to. But we can shield him from some of them. It would mean sacrifice and compromise on our part, but… for wiley, isn’t that worth it? Who do — who do you want me to compromise with? My dad? Or nina? Or both? Think about it. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Just think about it for one second. If michael goes too far with nina and then it turns out that nina really is willow’s mother… I mean, you know willow — it’ll change things for her, whether she wants it to or not. I’m just — I’m just trying to turn down the temperature a little bit. Okay. I appreciate that, and I appreciate your help today, but your services are no longer needed. Oh, oh, I see. Wait — wait — I’m — I’m — so, I’m dismissed now? Well, this doesn’t involve you. Uh, I beg to differ. I can’t un-know what I know. What are you talking about? We’re in it together. Oh, come on, what does that mean? Oh, my god. Are you going to blow this whole thing wide open? No! Are you gonna stay quiet? Are you? I’m certainly not going to say anything right now. I mean, can you imagine if nina turns out to be willow’s mother? That’s going to be a huge problem for michael and willow. And what if the whole thing turns out to not be true? I would have set a hideous chain of events in motion for no reason. Okay. What if it is true? What if the dna test proves that what harmony said is absolutely legit? What are you going to do?


You know [Sighs] Kevin and i have been really trying to keep jake and aiden well entertained, you know, but, uh, I think it would help them an awful lot if they saw their mother tonight. Yeah. It would help me to see them, too. Alright. Um, I’ll get your purse for you. Okay. Okay. Elizabeth. I’ll call you. W-we’ll do this again. I am sure you have a lot of questions. The answers are there for the taking.

[ Breathes deeply ] Will I see you later? Absolutely. I’m just going to make sure everything’s locked up. Thanks. Here, sweetie. Are you chilly? You want to put that on? Thank you. Leaving so soon? Oh, I’m parched.

[ Laughs ] Oh, yeah. Oh, I’ll bet. Channeling spirits must just drain you. It does, actually. Mm. What about lying to a vulnerable woman? What does that do to you? I wouldn’t know. But you would. Is payback even possible now, if — if spencer’s on to me? He is, but he hasn’t found anything useful yet, or else he would have used it. You got rid of the evidence that would implicate you in the video scheme, yeah? I did. Then the best he can hope for would be to exonerate trina. That doesn’t mean you can rest on your laurels. Time’s running out. You need to recommit yourself to the task. Destroying ava and nikolas. I know, I know you’re disinclined, but… …sacrifices have to be made, esme. Now, the only way to truly break their bond is to seduce the prince. Now, you can do that, can’t you? For me? If only to see the look on spencer’s face when he finds out.

[ Laughs ] Good. And when that’s done? Then we turn our attention to the rest of our enemies. Each and every one. Esme and I have been together for a long time. So? So…what about you? What’s been your longest relationship? What are you doing, spencer? I’m just pointing out the facts. Let’s see. You had the weird obsession with emma’s dad. Oh, and the blink-and-you-missed-it engagement with my father. Wow. [ Scoffs ] So much for the you wishing he’d realized what he had in me. Huh? I was just trying to be nice. Noted. Honestly, britt, have you ever been in love? Has it ever been returned? I didn’t think so. You’re right. I know nothing about love. And at this rate, I never will. Wait. What is that supposed to mean? Good luck with your girlfriend, spencer. And when it explodes in your face, don’t come crying to me. Listen, madam nutjob, or whatever your name is, I am not the one lying to elizabeth. Really? Because she asked you if you thought she was crazy, and you did everything in your power to dodge the question. Don’t try to flip this around. You’re not smart enough to do that. You are preying on a very fragile human being. I gave comfort and support to someone who asked for it. Can you say the same? Don’t ever contact her again. Elizabeth said she’d call me. And when she does, I’ll save you a seat. Who knows? Maybe this time you can come with an open mind and actually help the woman you claim to care about find the answers she so desperately craves. I’m nowhere near entertaining a truce with nina, but…I won’t give up on you and sonny, and I’m really hoping you don’t, either. Look, I don’t — I don’t know what to tell you, willow.

[ Scoffs ] My father put someone who actively hurt his wife and his children above his own family, so I-I can’t act like that didn’t happen or ignore that. Yes, I am sonny’s son, but first and foremost, I am wiley’s father. You and wiley will always be my priority, and I will never let anything come between us. If wiley asks me about the things that I’ve done, I’ll… I’ll own them. And I see no reason to treat james any differently. Just make sure you stick around to answer those questions. Oh, don’t worry. I’m not going anywhere. Are you going to tell willow and nina what you know? That’s the point, drew. I don’t know anything yet. When you do know. Okay, if the unthinkable happens and nina turns out to be willow’s mother… I’ll do the right thing. Britt, do you have a second? What’s up? Who do I see about a dna test?
