Adam: Diane. Welcome to the resurrection club. First rule of resurrection club is we don’t talk about the resurrection club.

Diane: Hello, Adam. You’re not as shocked to see me as I would’ve expected.

Adam: Well, my father spoiled the surprise.

Diane: Oh, I should’ve known.

Adam: Mm.

Diane: Mm.

Adam: Mm. You know, back when it really did look like you had bought the farm, I wanted to send you a “bite me” card for leaving things in a way that I would be implicated in your death, but i couldn’t find a forwarding address to hell.

Diane: I regret many things about that time.

Adam: How could you even stand to look at yourself in the mirror?

Diane: Well, I justified my actions by telling myself how resourceful you were, not that it’s any excuse.

Adam: Got to do what you got to do, right? I mean, half the people wanted you dead, and you did not disappoint. Everyone thought you were pushing up daisies. Really, it was impressive. But as someone who knows firsthand — and this is the second rule of resurrection club — once you’ve escaped, it’s the best idea not to come back.

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

Diane: Oh.

[Chuckles] I see what this is.

Ashley: You have no idea. Welcome back, bitch.

Diane: Ashley.

Ashley: You look pretty good for a dead person.

Diane: Thank you.

Ashland: Guess Victoria shot us both down, huh? I mean, we — we look a little pathetic, don’t you think? A couple of lap dogs hoping Victoria will throw us a bone, give us what we think we deserve.

Adam: [Chuckles] I really don’t know what you are talking about.

Ashland: Yeah? I’m just assuming that you think you still deserve to be co-CEO or temporary CEO of Newman/Locke or whatever fake title it is you — you’re willing to grovel for. But from what I just witnessed, Victoria doesn’t seem to be giving you the time of day.

Adam: And clearly you are out of the loop on the latest at your former company. The name Locke has been jettisoned, much like you’ve been. It’s all Newman now.

Ashland: Well, not all Newman. You seem to be having a little trouble holding onto your piece of the pie. Now, I may be out contractually, but I think I know Victoria well enough to know that she is not going to let you retain any title or power in her company.

Adam: Aww, apparently, you don’t realize how out of the loop you are. Have you heard who she is replacing you with as new co- CEO?

Ashland: Oh, she’s found someone already.

Adam: Yes. Nikki. So, looks like we both got screwed out of that coveted title. But at least I’m still head of the newly expanded Newman Media, which includes one of your other former companies. Whereas you just have my father’s money to keep you warm.

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

Sharon: Rey. Rey.

[Sighs] I miss you so much. I feel you everywhere in our home. Your spirit still lives in every room here. You know, when I come home and i come to the door, I — I expect to find you here waiting for me, and when I hear a noise upstairs, I think it’s you, moving around. I think you’re there getting ready for work, and then… and then I remember. And then it hits me all over again. Everything here reminds me of you. Your coffee cup is still sitting by the kitchen sink where you left it the last morning you were here, and I…I can’t bring myself to put it away. I hope you didn’t suffer. I hope you weren’t in any pain. And I hope you know how loved you were.

Are. Always. And I know your spirit’s always gonna be with me…protecting me. You know, I can just see you smiling at how happy Tessa was about Crystal. And now I know why you were so disinterested in my obsession with finding the perfect wedding gift, because you already had something in the works. And I can’t believe you didn’t breathe a word of that to me.

[Sighs] You know, I should be mad at you for keeping that secret. But I can’t. I mean, I can never be mad at you again.

[Sighs] “Stop it — stop it, Sharon. Stop it.”

[Sighs] At least that’s what you would tell me. You gave me so many pep talks when I was sick. Who am I gonna turn to now? I don’t know how I’m gonna manage without you.

[Sniffles] My precious husband. Somehow I’m gonna find a way.

At Sonny’s office, Dex handed Sonny a copy of his résumé, which Sonny immediately shredded. Sonny told Dex that he didn’t use résumés but relied solely on his instincts. Sonny told Dex that the most important thing in his business was trust. “If that’s a problem, then we stop right now,” Sonny said.

Sonny informed Dex that he needed to know Dex would be able to take orders and follow them, and Dex was never to think he knew better than Sonny. Sonny complimented Dex for having broken up the fight at the gym earlier. Sonny told Dex that being tough could only get a person so far and that being smart was “the better way.” Sonny was impressed by Dex’s attitude but wouldn’t make any promises to bring Dex into his business.

Frank escorted Brando into Sonny’s office. Sonny asked about Sasha, and Brando said that he needed Sonny’s help. 

At GH, T.J informed Sasha of the normal results of her CT scan. When T.J. left, Sasha began desperately digging through her purse. The photographer who’d chased Sasha the previous night entered the room.  He told a startled Sasha that he had checked and that he knew the pills he’d seen her drop at the Metro Court gardens were not for migraines. He told Sasha that all he wanted was his memory card back and then he would forget about the unseemly photos he’d taken of Sasha. The photographer added that he had connections that he insinuated were tied to drugs. He texted Sasha his number and told Sasha to give him a call.

At the elevators, Jordan ran into Dante. Jordan told Dante that she had a pressing job for him. Jordan wanted him to find out who Willow’s birth mother was. Jordan told Dante to learn everything he could about Harmony’s life before she’d come to Port Charles. Jordan added that somewhere out there, a mother was missing her daughter.

At the Metro Court gardens, Gladys was having difficulty inserting the memory card to view the photos of Sasha when Valentin asked if he could be of assistance. Valentin ignored Gladys’ pleas that she didn’t need any help and began looking at the photographs. Valentin focused on one of the photos the photographer had taken of Sasha.

He told Gladys that while they both knew that Sasha hadn’t struck Harmony on purpose. “In the wrong hands, these photos tell a decidedly different story,”  He showed Gladys a photo of Sasha crouched on the floor of the Metro Court Garden’s desperately trying to retrieve several spilled pills.

Gladys defended Sasha, saying that a doctor had prescribed medication for Sasha to help her cope with the loss of Liam. Valentin was sympathetic, but he reminded Gladys that Sasha had a history of drug abuse. Valentin was concerned because Sasha was his business partner and represented a large part of Valentin’s investment. Gladys told Valentin that she trusted Sasha. Gladys became irritated with Valentin and moved to an empty table nearby.

Sasha joined Gladys at the table. Sasha remembered flushing her pills and told Gladys not to throw the memory card away. Sasha said the photographer might leave them alone if they gave back the memory card. Gladys said she would protect Sasha. She added that Sasha could tell her anything. Sasha thanked Gladys for looking out for her but encouraged Gladys to return the memory card as a show of good faith. When Sasha left, Gladys stared at the memory card.

At Marta & Chloe, Nina stormed in and interrupted Scott’s facial. Nina revealed that she’d received an advance copy of the five-part series the Invader was scheduled to run. Scott assured Nina that her case would be decided in court and not on the front page of the Invader. Scott mentioned Harmony’s death and quipped that compared to Harmony, Nina was like Mother Teresa. Scott felt he and Nina should go to Michael and Willow’s lawyer and announce that they’d let the judge decide whose behavior was better for Wiley’s sake: Nina’s, or that of a double murderer.

As they were speaking, Diane entered the salon and brought up Nina’s documented history of emotional and mental instability. Diane encouraged Nina to withdraw her claim, but Nina refused to back down. Nina told Diane that if Michael and Willow insisted on dragging her through the mud, Nina would drag both of them with her. As Diane went to leave, Nina said that Wiley shouldn’t be punished because of Willow’s pain. “Nina, you seem to think that depriving Wiley of your presence would be a punishment. The court may not agree with you,” Diane said.

When Diane left, Scott and Nina agreed that it was time for an all-out war against Michael and Willow. Nina felt that Willow was “too good to be true” and told Scott there had to be something about Willow they could uncover. Nina told Scott to keep digging until he found it.

At the gatehouse at the Quartermaine mansion, Dante told Willow the PCPD would do everything in its power to make sure Willow got answers. Carly told Willow that the reason Harmony had attacked Carly and Alexis was because Harmony’s secret had started to come out.

Willow then recalled that Harmony had a difficult time finding Willow’s birth certificate. Dante told Willow that Willow’s real birth certificate had never existed and that the one Harmony had given Willow had been forged. Carly then explained that Willow had been taken as an infant and given to someone else. Willow couldn’t believe that everything she had been told about her childhood was a falsehood. 

Willow pleaded for Carly to tell her if Harmony had confided why Harmony had lied about being Willow’s birth mother. Carly flashed back to the promise she’d made on Harmony’s deathbed to look after Willow. Dante wanted Willow to take a DNA test to rule out any blood relation between Willow and Harmony, and Willow said she needed time to digest everything she’d learned. Dante agreed to come back the next day. Dante apologized for having been the bearer of bad news, and he left. Carly got up to leave, as well, and hugged Michael and Willow. Before she left, Carly told Willow that she’d promised Harmony she would protect Willow. Willow told Michael she couldn’t help but ask herself the same question. “If Harmony isn’t my birth mother, who is?” Willow said.

Update written by Dustin

At Finn’s place, Violet hosted a tea party with Chase. Brook Lynn came over with lightsabers for May 4th and asked if she could join Chase and Violet. Chase and Violet played with the lightsabers while Chase explained to Violet that the lightsaber is the weapon of the Jedi. Brook Lynn smiled while she watched Chase and Violet. Chase and Brook Lynn hated that they had not been able to watch Star Wars on May 4th, and Brook Lynn suggested the two have their own screening of the movie soon. 

Chet returned from a trip to the Middle East and tells Sony that he had a lot to look forward to on his return home and mentioned Dex, a friend he’d recommended take over his role when Chet was away.

Dante tells Sonny that Carly and Alexis had both been attacked by Harmony. Dante informed Sonny that Harmony had died shortly after she ran into traffic. Sonny told Dante that normally Carly or Michael would have called him immediately.  He thought that the fact that neither Carly nor Michael had reached out to him was also meant to send him a message.  They don’t want anything to do with him and that is the way things are going to be now.

Dante asked if Sonny was taking care of himself, specifically his mental health. He told Sonny that he was concerned he could become more and more isolated. Sonny told Dante that he was taking good care of himself.

Dex impressed Sonny after breaking up a sparring match that turned into an all-out fight.  He reconsidered his decision about Dex’s future and asked Chet to have Dex come by his office later.

At GH, Britt tried to console T.J. after the loss of his first patient. T.J. confided that it was the worst thing he had ever experienced, and admitted he felt angry and “useless.” T.J. said he wanted to scream. Britt told him to prepare himself. She said that might have been the first patient he had lost, but it wouldn’t be the last.  

When T.J. said he wished he could compartmentalize his emotions. Britt said she wanted doctors who used their hearts as well as their heads. T.J. said that telling Willow was heart wrenching. Britt told T.J. to take the rest of the day off to take care of himself.

At the Metro Court nail salon, Terry welcomed Elizabeth for a mani-pedi. Terry told Elizabeth that their mani-pedi had been paid for by Finn. Elizabeth insisted that she was still shaken by recent events but she was taking care of things. Elizabeth confided to Terry that Aiden believed Elizabeth’s stalker was Franco’s ghost. Elizabeth admitted she didn’t know what to think anymore and asked Terry to go with her to her appointment with the medium.

At Michael and Willow’s place, Carly told Michael that Willow would need their strength to lean on, given what the future held. Carly warned Michael that he needed to be careful what he said around Wiley and added that the press would be all over the story of Harmony’s death. Michael said he didn’t know how to protect Willow from the fallout.

Dante arrived and asked to see Willow as Willow descended the stairs. Dante told Willow that he had more information on Harmony if Willow was ready for it. Willow asked what secret Harmony had tried to hide. “Harmony had killed before,” Dante told her.

Carly told Willow that Harmony had revealed a secret that Neil had kept in his notes through the years. Willow asked what the secret was and pleaded for someone to tell her. “Harmony was not your biological mother,” Dante told a stunned Willow.

Carly then flashed back to Harmony’s deathbed confession that Willow had been Nelle’s twin and that Nina was Willow’s biological daughter.  Carly had vowed to protect Willow from Nina and she pointedly did not admit anything else to Willow but the fact that Willow was not Harmony’s biological child.  She told Willow that Harmony had taken Willow from someone else and raised her as her own.  Willow struggled to take in all the news.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Diane: Jack, kyle, what’s — what’s the problem?

Jack: You.

Diane: Wh– police?

Kyle: This is her.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] Wait, what have I done?

Ready to press charges?

Kyle: I have waited my entire life.

Diane: Charges?

Jack: We’re charging you with abandonment.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] No. No, you don’t understand.

Jack: Oh, I understand. I understand plenty well. You’re a liar. You’re a coward. You said you wanted to have a child more than anything in the world. You didn’t have the patience to raise him. You couldn’t wait to get out of town to avoid the pandemonium you created.

Diane: No, no, it wasn’t like that. Besides, I’m a good person now.

Jack: You turned your back on your own child.

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ]

Jack: You know, when you have a little kid, you assume they’re gonna go along with pretty much everything you say, the way you think. And then they grow up and have opinions of their own.

Kyle: Mm. The nerve.

Jack: Not the easiest thing in the world, encourage your son to chart his own path and — and watch him make decisions that make you a little nervous.

Kyle: I know harrison will eventually get there. I’m already dreading it.

Jack: Have you been in touch with your mother since you told her you were gonna give her a chance to prove herself?

Kyle: Nope.

Jack: Having second thoughts?

Kyle: Big time.

Billy: Hi.

Lily: Hi.

Billy: Did you order for me?

Lily: I did.

Billy: You did? Great. Did you get me a cute little teapot with a cute little cup? I need to keep my vocal cords all nice and smooth for my podcast.

Lily: Oh, “the grinning soul.”

Billy: You heard it. Am I in the doghouse?

Lily: I am concerned.

Billy: Okay, but have you seen the numbers? Because it’s doing pretty well for a brand-new series.

Lily: Billy —

Billy: I did all the things that we talked about doing. I altered my voice. I made all the names and locations anonymous to protect the guilty.

Lily: It doesn’t matter. It’s gonna take two seconds for anyone close to the situation to know that you’re talking about ashland.

Billy: Well, if the sociopathic shoe fits…

Adam: So first victoria says she doesn’t need a partner, then, suddenly, out of nowhere, she appoints nikki as co-ceo. That spot should’ve been mine.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Did victor back her up?

Adam: [ Sighs ] She said it was a unilateral decision, that she didn’t need our father’s approval, which is untrue. He would have to sign off on something like that, which means he did. And word is already spreading to the company of nikki’s appointment, and did anybody bother warning me about it? Just another one of my dad’s mind games, another game of musical chairs, when once again I’m standing here being left out in the cold.

Sally: [ Sighs ] So victoria lets ashland get his hooks into the company, and then once he’s out, she just goes back to business like nothing happened, like she wasn’t the cause of all this chaos.

Adam: [ Sighs ] I don’t know why I waste my time hoping that they’ll give me a chance. It’s never gonna happen. I mean, this is our pattern.

Sally: I hate seeing them put you through the wringer, especially since it is clear to me that you don’t need any of them.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Any suggestions on what I should do about it?

Sally: Strike out on your own. Cut ties with the newmans altogether. So what’s going on?

Additional sponsorship

provided by… when asthma symptoms strike, airways narrow.

Adam: Cutting ties? I have done that. More than once. I’m not sure I want to do it again.

Sally: Why not? Maybe your mistake was returning to the newman family fold.

Adam: Look, here’s the thing, my dad has this seemingly blind acceptance of victoria’s leadership abilities no matter how many times she screws up. And as long as she is in charge, she’s gonna cut me out, so if i walk away, it just feels like I’m conceding, like I’m letting her win.

Sally: Would that really be the worst thing in the world?

Adam: Um…I’m the one that came up with the idea to get locke out for good. I am the one that should be rewarded for that. She is still in my way, and she still refuses to acknowledge that I’m the one that saved her. So why should I give her what she wants?

Sally: You said it yourself — victor could’ve stepped in and vetoed victoria’s decision to promote nikki. But he didn’t, he let it stand in a transparent ploy to block you from what you deserve, what you earned. You have come way too far and you have done way too much to prove yourself to your family, and it is never enough.

Adam: Well, thanks for rubbing in in.

Sally: No, my point is if they are not gonna show you the respect that you have been looking for, then why stick around? You don’t need them. You’re talented and inspired and capable of making brilliant moves on your own.

Adam: Okay, so let’s say i did what you’re proposing and i cut all ties and I walked away from all things newman, including running newman media, and I left you here on your own to deal with my family. Would you really be okay with that?

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Jack: You abandoned kyle.

Diane: No, I walked away because that’s what was best.

Jack: For you!

Diane: No, for kyle! Please, I love my son.

Jack: Lies.

Diane: No! I do!

Jack: She walked away and never looked back.

Diane: Why are you doing this? It was the hardest decision of my life.

Kyle: She’s a complete fraud. Can’t be trusted. Don’t buy a word of it.

Jack: Never looked back.

Diane: There was an empty, broken place in my heart without you, and it started to heal when you said you’d give me a second chance. Please don’t take this away from me, kyle.

>>A mother letting her kid think she’s dead — that’s as low as it gets.

Diane: I didn’t want to abandon him. I wanted to come back.

Jack: You know how you can tell she’s lying? She’s moving her mouth.

Kyle: Mm.

Diane: I wanted you with me every day, kyle, but you deserved better. You deserved a stable, safe place where you could have the best that life had to offer.

You have the right to remain silent.

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ]

Kyle: She’s a prodigious liar so that’s not gonna happen.

And the right to an attorney.

Kyle: She’ll never find one to take this case.

Jack: Defending a woman who left her boy motherless?

Diane: Please, please. No! No, you don’t understand.

Jack: Have some dignity. Do the right thing for once. Go!

Diane: No!

[ Sighs ]

Jack: Ooh, stealing harrison’s cookies.

Kyle: Mm, I won’t tell if you don’T.

Jack: I’ll pass.

Kyle: Not that I ever want to keep things from my son. I like to think I haven’t inherited my mother’s bad habits.

Jack: I can see this is really weighing on you.

Kyle: Can’t sleep. Every time I close my eyes, i think about the awful things she’s done. How she’s hurt people I love, and how am I supposed to reconcile that woman, the one who walked away when I was so young, to the woman that she says she is now?

Jack: Believe, I understand how complicated your situation is.

Kyle: And she says that she turned her life around. That she recreated herself, and the last time I saw her, before she sent me away, before she changed my name, she promised that she was going to join me, but then she chose to vanish from my life.

[ Stammers ] Pretend she was dead.

Jack: Did she maybe share with you her reasoning in making those decisions?

Kyle: Yeah, they — they all sounded plausible. And — and potentially rehearsed. I… like she had been waiting for the chance to say them all to my face.

Jack: And that’s what’s keeping you awake at night.

Kyle: Yeah.

Jack: So what are you gonna do about it?

Kyle: I don’t know. We’ve heard all the facts, what mom did, what she said. I need to know how you feel about all this. What — what’s your gut telling you?

Jack: Kyle, I made a promise to myself not to interfere, not to try to influence how you felt about your mother and her story.

Kyle: Yeah, and I appreciate that you’ve managed to put your own personal feelings aside and encourage me to walk into this with an open mind, but now that I’ve heard her out, I need to unravel whether I believe she’s changed into a good, trustworthy person, or if it’s the little kid in me that’s wishing it were true.

Jack: And you want to be objective.

Kyle: And I don’t think I can be.

Jack: So you’ve come to me for that.

Kyle: Dads have all the answers. At least that’s what harrison says.

Jack: Yeah, I remember that. Cherish that.

Kyle: I do.

Jack: Kyle, for the last few days, I have puzzled over the same questions that have bedeviled you. Why did diane come back now of all times to reveal that she’s still alive? Can we still believe her?

Kyle: Bingo.

Jack: I have asked for the benefit of the doubt more times than I can count, so I put myself in diane’s shoes when she made that horrible decision all those years ago, tried to explain to myself why I would leave my child behind.

Kyle: Given that the original plan, the one she worked out with adam, was so that she could fake her own death so she could leave with me.

Jack: Diane claims she changed her mind, that she didn’t want that future for you, living on the run. She didn’t believe I would ever give up on trying to find either of you. And she’s 100% right about that.

Kyle: But if she had just come to me from the beginning and tried to explain, we could —

Jack: Kyle, listen to me. You were very young. Would you have understood? And would it have been any better, knowing that she’s out there somewhere without you? You’d have spent your life asking questions that would have made you a completely different man, and I happen to love the man you have become. So maybe, just maybe, this one time, diane made the right choice in leaving the way she did.

Sally: Have I told you how much I hate hypotheticals?

Adam: You’ve never imagined it?

Sally: What I would do if you noped out of newman and left me here alone?

Adam: Would you stay or would you go?

Sally: I would keep my job and do my best to win your entire family over.

Adam: Why?

Sally: Because, aside from the fact that I love my job and that I have absolute faith that we will be phenomenally successful wherever we choose to be, do you know how rare this is? To find someone who thinks the way that you do, who believes in you, who makes you laugh, who wants what you want? Have you ever met anyone like that?

Adam: Yeah. Once.

Sally: For the first time, i actually feel like I’m meeting someone on my level. That is why we work, because we take each other exactly how we are. I don’t need you to be the good or the bad version of yourself or what everyone else expects you to be.

Adam: What — what do you want?

Sally: Just you. All of you.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Look, knowing that you are willing to brave my family, it should make the decision to walk away easier. But it just — it feels different this time. I don’t know if — if I’m older and wiser or it’s knowing that someone has my back. But now I just — it feels like walking away, I would be giving up instead of doing something on my own terms. On the other hand, despite my best efforts, I could just be falling for my dad’s games, craving the look of approval in his eyes.

Sally: Yeah. His opinion will always mean something to you, no matter what.

Adam: I just don’t think that I can ignore the challenge that victoria threw down by hiring nikki over me.

Sally: You shouldn’t have to battle for recognition, especially after everything you’ve done for your family. But if you choose to stay and fight, I will still be here. And if you want to just walk away and turn your back on all of them, then I will stand by you. Either way, I will support you. I’ll weigh in with my advice and do my best to make sure that we are both successful.

Adam: So I guess the only thing now is to consider what is best for me right now.

Sally: But I will continue to tell you that you deserve better. And then I will kiss you to drive the point home.

Billy: The whole point of recording a second voice-altered podcast was so I could talk about the issues that billy abbott needs to publicly distance himself from.

Lily: Look, if you try to convince me that two billys are better than one —

Billy: Well, just hear me out for a second, because the way i see it, billy one is your right-hand man. Billy two is untamed, a rebel that answers to no one.

Lily: Look, you know I love the idea of the anonymous podcast where you can talk about what you want without there being any blowback to the company.

Billy: I love your ability to say “but” without actually saying “but.”

Lily: You have a confrontation with ashland, then you turn right around and vent about it on a podcast?

Billy: I didn’t mention our names.

Lily: It doesn’t matter. Anyone can connect the dots.

Billy: I think you’re worried about it because you know the players. So think about it for a second without picturing the snake that we all know very, very well. I could’ve been talking about any other mogul who has used manipulation and deceit to rise to power. And that is what the average listener is going to hear.

Lily: Yeah, and I really hope that you’re right. And look, I agree with the message that you sent, but be prepared if certain people — like victoria — see beyond this “grinning soul” persona and know that it’s you putting it out there. I brought in ensure max protein,

Billy: Wasn’t it you that requested we not talk about victoria at least for one day? So here’s the deal. Did she need protecting? Yes, I believe she did. Before she found out the kind of man that ashland locke was. But now that she knows, the truth is out there, then I don’t see the harm.

Lily: If anyone figures out that these stories are about ashland, how do you think that’s gonna make victoria look?

Billy: Like a sympathetic figure. Like a loving partner that was deceived from the most heinous of men, and I hope that she appreciates the fact that I’m not personally getting involved in her problems, because you were right — that would be a bad idea.

Lily: Have you thought about what would happen if it’s ashland that figures out that you’re behind this?

Billy: I hope he does. I really do. I hope he puts together the math, and I would pay to see the look on his face when he realizes that he is the monster underneath the bed and that everyone listening out there is putting together the story. Recoiling from horror at all the lies that he’s perpetrated his entire life, because ashland locke needs to realize that actions have consequences.

Jack: Kyle, to be clear, I am not condoning anything else that diane has done or offering any opinions about who she is as a person.

Kyle: Noted.

Jack: She hurt a lot of people in a lot of ways, and I — I just —

Kyle: What is it? I asked you to be completely honest with me.

Jack: Kyle, if diane had stuck to her original plan, taking you with her and disappeared, would I ever see you again? I mean, if she evaded every effort I made to track you two down… I hate to even think what that would have been to us. And I can’t think about your situation without thinking about my mother. I was absolutely gutted when she left our family, when she — when she left me behind. I was angry for so many years, and when she walked back into our lives, I wanted to slam the door in her face. It is nothing short of a miracle that before she died, we were able to reconcile, that I found some understanding and some forgiveness. It’s one of the greatest gifts of my life. Do I want that for you? Absolutely, more than anything. Maybe this once diane did the right thing. I’m not saying she’s changed. I’m not saying I accept everything she’s telling us on faith. I’m just saying I believe the decision to leave you behind is the toughest decision she ever made in her life.

Kyle: [ Sighs ]

Jack: Kyle, I know that’s not the simple answer you were hoping to get from me. But there’s nothing simple about this.

Kyle: You’re right. It’d be cool if we could just run a sim.

Jack: Come again?

Kyle: A simulation. What a future with my mother in it would look like.

Jack: And how exactly would we pull that off?

Kyle: We put her to the full abbott test.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Jack: Thank you, kyle. I’ll take care of the rest.

Meet ron.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Lily: Look, even the thought of someone possibly having cancer can turn their life upside down, so the fact that ashland used a lie like that to make a profit, I mean, it makes me angry that he’s walking around here with no care in the world. So, yes, you know, this has a very personal thing thing for me.

Billy: 100%, and it sounds like we agree, so why are you upset about the podcast?

Lily: Because I don’t like the idea of you possibly losing this amazing platform because you’re not being careful with when and how to, you know, put this information out there.

Billy: I get it, I do. But I really don’t think that this is going to be a blip on victoria’s radar. She’s got more important things to keep her mind on rather than the anonymous musings of “the grinning soul.”

Lily: Well, I really hope you’re right.

Billy: I am right. You don’t want me to be right, because then I would pile up the other side of all the other times I’ve been right, and then it’ll be off-balance.

Lily: Oh, my god, give me a break.

Billy: Oh, saved by a phone call.

Lily: Then answer it. I don’t care.

Billy: Jack.

Jack: Drop whatever you’re doing and come to the abbott house. I’m calling a family meeting.

Billy: Okay, but what if I’m in the middle of something important?

Jack: Nothing’s more important than supporting kyle right now. Ashley, traci, abby are all on their way. Hopefully I can count on you, too.

Billy: Yeah, of course, I’ll be there as soon as I can.

Lily: What’s going on?

Billy: Jack is calling a family meeting because it sounds like kyle is back in town, and, you know, diane is not dead anymore, so sounds like a fun occasion.

Lily: Well, unlike the chancellor-winters meeting you’ll be missing.

Billy: Uh, yeah, can I get a pass on that?

Lily: Uh, I really need my coo there.

Billy: Yeah, you’re right. Wouldn’t be the first time that I show up late to a family gathering. I’ll just go when I’m done.

Lily: You sure?

Billy: 100%. You and chancellor-winters are my top priorities.

Sally: Sneaking upstairs to a suite here never gets old.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Oh, my god.

Sally: Adam?

Adam: Diane. Welcome to the resurrection club. First rule of resurrection club is we don’t talk about the resurrection club.

Diane: Hello, adam. You’re not as shocked to see me as I would’ve expected.

Adam: Well, my father spoiled the surprise.

Diane: Oh, I should’ve known.

Adam: Mm.

Diane: Mm.

Adam: Mm. You know, back when it really did look like you had bought the farm, I wanted to send you a “bite me” card for leaving things in a way that I would be implicated in your death, but i couldn’t find a forwarding address to hell.

Diane: I regret many things about that time.

Adam: How could you even stand to look at yourself in the mirror?

Diane: Well, I justified my actions by telling myself how resourceful you were, not that it’s any excuse.

Adam: Got to do what you got to do, right? I mean, half the people wanted you dead, and you did not disappoint. Everyone thought you were pushing up daisies. Really, it was impressive. But as someone who knows firsthand — and this is the second rule of resurrection club — once you’ve escaped, it’s the best idea not to come back.

Sally: Hello. I’m sally. Sally spectra. Adam and I work together.

Diane: Oh, I gather things have progressed beyond that, since it appears you were headed upstairs.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Adam: You have more nerve than I thought, coming back to town, staying in phyllis’ hotel. It’s a death wish. Some things never change.

Diane: Everything’s changed. As I told victor, I’m not here to cause trouble or have anything to do with your family. I’m here for one reason only — kyle.

Adam: Your son that you abandoned, even though you and i had made a plan for you to be able to join him and start a new life together. Hey, but plans change, right?

Diane: I won’t make excuses or try to justify what I did.

Adam: Smart.

Diane: Yes, I don’t like who I was back then, and I’m not proud of the things I did. Something I think you can understand.

Adam: [ Exhales sharply ] Well, I guess the new-and-improved diane isn’t above taking potshots at her former co-conspirator.

Diane: No, that’s not what i was doing. I’ve managed to keep up with what’s going on in genoa city. I know that you’ve worked hard to turn over a new leaf and make a different life for yourself.

Adam: What is your point?

Diane: I just want the same thing that everyone gave you. A second chance.

Adam: I hope that is true. I don’t have the same kind of beef with you that the rest do, so good luck, I guess.

Diane: Thank you, adam. Nice to meet you, sally.

Sally: You too.

Abby: Kyle!

Ashley: Good to see you, kyle. How are you?

Kyle: Hanging in there.

Traci: I have been thinking about you nonstop since our chat, and I’m hoping so much that you were able to find a little clarity.

Jack: Billy should be here any minute. I know we all have a lot of questions, but we’re kind of running out of time.

Abby: Why? What’s going on? I thought this was a family meeting.

Kyle: We’re having a special visitor arrive soon.

Traci: Not —

Jack: Yes, her.

Ashley: Diane jenkins is coming here?

Kyle: She is.

Ashley: I can’t believe she would have the nerve to come back to genoa city, let alone this house.

Kyle: Actually, she’s already been here. This won’t be my first time seeing her.

Ashley: Well, it will be your last, if I have anything to say about it.

Abby: If someone had told me that diane was gonna be at —

Jack: It’s why I didn’t tell you, abby.

Kyle: She claims she’s changed.

Ashley: Into what, exactly?

Jack: Would you let him finish his thought, please?

Kyle: She says that she spent her time away getting her life together.

Abby: [ Scoffs ] Okay, should we be amused or afraid? Why is she back in genoa city?

Kyle: For me, to explain herself and ask for forgiveness.

Ashley: But you’re not actually considering forgiving her, right? Because even if she has spent the last few years polishing her halo through charity and good works, you know that it’s — it’s just an act, right?

Abby: Kyle, I mean, how do you feel about all this? It can’t be easy finding out that your mother’s alive and that she wants to reconnect with you.

Ashley: Use you. Let’s not forget who we’re talking about.

Kyle: I’m not sure what to think.

Abby: After all of these years, maybe she wants to do the right thing?

Jack: Diane has made a very compelling case for herself.

Ashley: Oh, please. You don’t actually believe that she’s had some kind of miraculous transformation.

Jack: I am just as skeptical as you are, just as wary of her motives, but we three know what it is to be estranged from the woman who brought us —

Ashley: Don’t you dare go there, jack. I know our mother was a piece of work, but she’s nothing compared to diane.

Traci: Okay, okay, please, please. Sorry, kyle. We know that this is a very — an exceedingly difficult situation.

Abby: Kyle, look, all we want to do is support you. We want to be here for you, no matter what you choose. Right?

Jack: Abby’s right. That’s been my approach to this whole fiasco.

Ashley: Okay. I’m sorry. And please tell us, how do you feel now that you’ve actually spoken with your mother?

Kyle: I don’t know. I’ve been going back and forth trying to figure out if she’s lying or if she’s telling the truth, which is why I’ve called all of you here today.

Jack: It is one thing for diane to feed kyle a lot of well-rehearsed regrets and promises to do better.

Kyle: And something else completely to have to face me and my family. See how she handles herself in front of people who have seen her at her worst. That’s how I figure out if she’s telling the truth and if she’s sincere about being a changed person. What do you say?

Abby: I think we should.

Traci: Might as well.

Jack: Ashley, what do you think?

Ashley: Hell yes. Bring it on.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] The lows of bipolar depression

Ashley: So what time is diane’s broom scheduled to get here?

Kyle: Five minutes ago.

Abby: Maybe she got cold feet.

Traci: Look, if — if this is going to work, if it’s gonna get results, we have to all stick to the plan, okay?

Ashley: And maybe if we’re lucky, she got herself kicked out of town already.

Jack: Be nice, ash.

Ashley: This is me being nice, jack.

Kyle: Don’t bother bombarding her with old grievances. That’s not going to get us anywhere.

Abby: I loathe her as much as anyone, but the reason why we’re all here is to help kyle discover the truth.

Traci: Right, and to understand what’s on diane’s mind and in her heart.

Ashley: And to help kyle with the outcome when he realizes his mother actually has no heart.

Abby: Mom.

Ashley: No, I have seen into her soul. It’s a deep, dark abyss. I do not believe that she’s had some kind of miraculous transformation.

Adam: How are you so perfect? No, I mean it. And I’m not talking about your face, which is a thing of beauty. Or your body and the things that you can do with it. You didn’t bombard me with questions two seconds after we saw diane.

Sally: I knew that you would tell me when the time was right. And that was definitely not the time.

Adam: Okay. You ready?

Sally: Yes! Yes, I have been dying to hear all about this woman since i first heard her name, and now that I’ve seen her in the flesh, I’m like 1,000 times more pcurious.

Adam: Diane is driven. She’s obsessed. She will stop at nothing to get what she wants. And not in a good way, like you. And I wouldn’t hesitate helping her when it would work to my advantage.

Sally: In what way?

Adam: We worked together to make it look like victor was dead to drive down the price of the newman stock.

Sally: You didn’T.

Adam: Made a pretty sizable profit, too. That was the kind of relationship that we had. I agreed that I would help her escape the mess that she had made of her life, evade jack, and start a new life with her son. And that is that.

Sally: Wow.

Adam: Yeah, I did a lot of things back then that I wasn’t proud of, but I’d like to think that that scheme at least was semi-noble.

Sally: Well, diane’s right, you definitely have changed. You’ve grown.

Adam: Well, what can I say? I’m a work in progress. No, but all kidding aside, I’m glad that you’re in my corner. It’s nice being with someone who is “meeting me on my level.”

Sally: [ Chuckles ] Yes, it’s a rare thing. So what are you gonna do about your family’s latest move?

Adam: I’m not sure.

Sally: Well, I will take this ride with you wherever it goes.

Kyle: Thanks for coming.

Diane: Yeah, I was so excited when I got your text.

Kyle: Right this way.

Diane: Oh.

[ Chuckles ] I see what this is.

Ashley: You have no idea. Welcome back, bitch.

Diane: Ashley.

Ashley: You look pretty good for a dead person.

Diane: Thank you.

Traci: It’s been a long time, diane.

Diane: Lovely to see you, traci. You too, abby.

Kyle: I felt it was important that, if we’re going to take the next step, that you meet with all of us. If I’m going to allow you back in my life — and that’s still a big if — it not only affects my life, but the lives of my entire family. All of us you have a history with.

Jack: Each of us is affected one way or the other.

Diane: I have no desire to cause any problems for the abbotts.

Kyle: Nonetheless, it’s something you will have to understand and accept — your presence affects us all. Just like we will have to decide if we accept your claim that you are a different person now.

Next week on “the young and the restless”…

Adam: I have already made my decision. I want newman enterprises — every single bit of it.

Jack: I would love for you to meet allie nguyen. This is keemo’s daughter and my granddaughter.

Allie: Hi, everyone. How are you?

Michael: You were dead.

Diane: And now I’m not.

Michael: It’s pretty good to see you.

Proofread by Anita

Sonny: Yeah, I got your latest report on the West Coast competition. Looks great, Brick.

[ Knock on door ]

Sonny: Yeah. Come in!

Frank: Boss, there’s someone here to see you.

Sonny: Alright, listen, something just came up. I’ll get that report to you.

[ Cellphone clatters ]

Sonny: Wow, you don’t waste any time, do you? I just saw you this morning.

Dex: You said to come by your office — you might have more work for me, so why wait?

Sonny: Frank, can you wait outside?

Frank: Yes, sir.

Dex: I brought my résumé.

[ Door closes ]

[ Paper ripping ]


Brando: Where’s TJ? They should have the C results by now.

Sasha: Maybe he got caught up with another patient. I’m sure the CT will be fine. All I have is a headache and some jangled nerves. We shouldn’t even have bothered him.

Brando: You had a major shock last night. I’m tracking TJ down.

TJ: Sorry for the wait. There was a backup in radiology.

Sasha: Will I live?

TJ: Your CT looked fine, but do you want me to give you something for the headaches?


Sasha: The photographer. I can’t shake him! [ Sighs ]

Gladys: He wants this.

Sasha: You stole his memory card?

Gladys: That rat deserved it after taking all those pictures of you just to make a fast buck.

Valentin: Can I be of some assistance?


Curtis: Jordan. Are you okay?

Jordan: Fine. Passed my latest checkup with flying colors.

Curtis: That’s good. What’s with the concerned expression?

Jordan: I’m following up with the M.E. About the Harmony Miller case. What about you?

Curtis: Um, I was hoping to speak with TJ, but he’s been working these 24-hour shifts. It’s kind of hard to get a hold of him.

Jordan: One thing you can say about my son, he’s no slacker.

Curtis: No, he isn’t.

Jordan: So what do you want to talk to TJ about? Sorry. None of my business. I guess old habits die hard.


Salon worker: May I help you?

Nina: Um, no, thank you. I think I see the person that I’m looking for. Thank you so much.

Scott: Oh!

Nina: Ohh!

Scott: [ Exhales sharply ]

Nina: Sorry, here you go. Can I just have a second?

Nail Tech: Yeah.

Nina: Thank you so much.

Scott: Um, Nina. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Uh, if you’re looking for a manicure, Veronica, she’s your girl. But if you’re looking for your attorney, he’s busy!

Nina: Too bad, Scott. Listen, I need your full and complete attention, and I need it now.


Willow: It’s not true.

Dante: I’m sorry, Willow, but the evidence we have that says you are not Harmony’s biological daughter was taken from Dr. Byrne’s notes — what’s left of them, anyway.

Michael: “What’s left”?

Carly: Harmony burned most of them. I found a remaining sheet of notes and a file folder that Harmony missed.

Dante: So what we have are partial records of Dr. Byrne’s therapy sessions with Harmony.

Michael: If it’s only a partial record, then maybe you misunderstood Dr. Byrne’s notes.

Carly: Harmony told me. She said that you weren’t her biological daughter.

Michael: I mean… that might explain why your mom attacked my mom and Alexis, so no one else would know the truth.

Dante: Sorry, Willow. I know you’ve got questions. And you know what? The PCPD will do our best to make sure you get answers.

Michael: Willow?

Willow: It’s a lie.


Sonny: I don’t rely on résumés. Chet already said all kinds of nice things about you, and I know you can handle yourself by the way you dealt with those fighters that were supposed to be sparring, but they ended up fighting.

Dex: Does that mean I have a job?

Sonny: I’ve got to get to know you better before I decide whether you’re the right fit for one of my businesses.

Dex: Coffee. Import/export.

Sonny: The most important thing is trust, especially in my business. I’ve got to know if I can trust you. If that’s a problem, we stop right now.


TJ: Tell you what — I’ll write down an over-the-counter, non-habit-forming medication. That should take care of the headaches.

Sasha: Thanks.

TJ: And if the headaches persist, we can talk about something stronger, okay?

[ Door opens ]


Gladys: Valentin. It’s been a while.

Valentin: It has. I was on my way out and saw you sitting here, having a heck of a time with that memory card.

Gladys: Hey, whoa. Whoa, whoa.

Valentin: Allow me. Want me to open these files?

Gladys: No, no. I can handle it from here.

Valentin: What have we here? It’s the face of Deception.


Jordan: If I run into TJ, I’ll tell him you’re looking for him.

Curtis: Jordan, wait. It is about Marshall.

Jordan: What about him?

Curtis: TJ likes the guy. Says he wants to get to know his grandfather.

Jordan: TJ has a big heart and is very forgiving. Marshall’s absence for all these years hasn’t hurt him like it has you.

Curtis: I know, but still, there are some things that TJ is entitled to know.

Jordan: Such as?

Curtis: Such as who and what Marshall really is.


Scott: Oh, for crying out loud, Nina. Come on, get lost.

Nina: No, I’m not gonna get lost, Scott. You’re supposed to be preparing to fight for my right to be part of my grandson’s life, not getting a manicure.

Scott: Well, now, judges like well-manicured lawyers — not to mention your Aunt Liesl. She likes when my nails are clipped and polished and ready for action.

Nina: The state of your cuticles is not a high priority right now, Scott, since I got the advanced copy of the five-part series The Invader is going to run on me soon.

Scott: Yeah, I got it, too.

Nina: You got it?

Scott: Yes.

Nina: And so why are you so calm? They’re out to sabotage me even before I step foot in a courtroom.

Scott: Who’s “they”?

Nina: Michael and Willow. Who else?


Michael: This is a lot to process, okay? Dante could come back later —

Willow: Neil Byrne lost his medical license. He had a drug problem. Who’s to say he didn’t make up lies about my mother, create his own fantasy, blaming her for some imaginary adoption? The man was obviously delusional.

Dante: Okay, Willow, as I said earlier, the PCPD is not going to accept anything without further proof. But you have to ask yourself, why else would Harmony kill her psychiatrist and his brother if not to keep her secret protected?

Willow: I don’t know. But you want to know what I do know? My mother loved me. Maybe she wasn’t always the best mom, but whatever her crimes, she loved me as only a mother can love her child, especially now, before she…

Michael: No, no. [ Sighs ] My mom said that Harmony admitted the truth to her. She wouldn’t lie.

Carly: She said it to me again — well, to Alexis and me — on Rana Point. That’s why she attacked us. She was so desperate to keep her secret, and when it started coming out, she just lost it.

Michael: Maybe that’s what drove Harmony into the middle of the road without looking. She was focused on finding you, to tell you what she did and to seek forgiveness.

Willow: That’s what you were talking about in the chapel.

Carly: Yeah. I knew it would be a shock. I just wanted to give you a little time. That’s why I didn’t want to tell you last night. I didn’t tell Michael either.

Willow: I didn’t lose my mother last night. She was never mine in the first place.


Dex: Chet warned me you might tear up the résumé. He said you play by your own rules.

Sonny: But you brought the résumé anyway.

Dex: I’d rather be over-prepared than show up lacking.

Sonny: I like your philosophy. If — and that’s a big if — I have room for you in one of my businesses, then I need to know that you’re going to be able to take orders and follow them. No going rogue, and never think that you know better than me. Are we clear?

Dex: Crystal. I just need a chance to prove myself.

Sonny: What do you think we’re doing? I know you’re tough. You already proved that to me this morning. But being tough can only get you so far. Smart is the better way.


Brando: Everything okay?

TJ: Sasha’s CT didn’t indicate any serious injury, but there’s no reason for her to live with residual pain. So I recommended a painkiller.

Brando: Yeah, I noticed the script.

Sasha: It’s over the counter and non-habit-forming.

Brando: [ Scoffs ] Okay. Thanks for your help.

TJ: Any time.

Sasha: Now, if you two don’t mind, I would love to freshen up before I get back to work as the Face of Deception.

TJ: Of course.

Sasha: Thanks, Dr. Ashford.

TJ: Yeah.

Brando: Pick you up later?

Sasha: Yeah, of course. Yeah. [ Exhales deeply ]

[ Door closes ]

Sasha: What the hell are you doing here?

Felty: I saw your husband and doctor leaving. I thought I should check up on you. Missing something? I know just how you feel.


Valentin: I didn’t think that Sasha was capable of taking a bad picture.

Gladys: [ Sighs ] It’s not Sasha. It’s the creepy paparazzo who wouldn’t leave her alone.

Valentin: And how did you get your hands on his photos?

Gladys: How do you think?

Valentin: These were taken last night, I assume before Harmony Miller was run down.

Gladys: It was an accident.

Valentin: Well, you know that and I know that, but in the wrong hands, these photos tell a decidedly different story. Look.


Jordan: I thought you made peace with Marshall’s past.

Curtis: Easier said than done. After you refused to dig up my father’s sealed arrest records —

Jordan: I gave you my reasons why I wouldn’t help you with that.

Curtis: And I understood. Look, I wasn’t happy about it, but then I realized that I was putting you in an impossible situation.

Jordan: You found someone else to help you.

Curtis: Certain information came my way.

Jordan: What kind?

Curtis: The kind that you wouldn’t release to me.

Jordan: And how exactly did you manage that when I said no?


Scott: Your case is going to be decided in court, not on the pages of The Invader, so I suggest that you just chill out and get yourself a manicure.

Nina: The byline belongs to this guy, Grant Smoltz, and he’s half reporter, half pit bull, and, Scott, he’s painting me as this vengeful, homewrecking vixen out to get Wiley’s other grandmother, saint Carly.

Scott: Well, there’s nothing I can do about Smoltz and his slander, because everything that was said, is, you know, public record.

Nina: No. You don’t think that the judge is going to read that article and deny my petition for visitation? Do you really think that? I mean, out of the two grandmothers, who do you think the judge is going to have more sympathy for?

Scott: Well, you know what? There are two grandmothers involved in this, and one of them just died. So, Harmony Miller, compared to you — I mean, you’re like Mother Teresa.

Nina: So what are you thinking?

Scott: Harmony Miller is a suspect in two murders. She assaulted Carly and Alexis, and she’s dead. So I’m sure that Willow is all over the map right now and so is Michael.

Nina: And?

Scott: Well, we go to their barracuda lawyer and we say it behooves them to just drop this whole invader thing. Otherwise, we go to court and let the judge decide whose behavior is better, yours or a double murderer’s.

Diane: Nice try, counselor. But on behalf of my clients, the answer is, we will see you in court.


Willow: It makes A… scary kind of sense… and explains so much. Harmony isn’t my biological mother. Is that why she couldn’t find my birth certificate, why there was no official record of its existence?

Dante: Well, according to Alexis, that birth certificate never did exist. What Harmony gave you was forged.

Willow: Forged?

Carly: When you were a baby, Harmony took you from somebody else and claimed you as her own.

Willow: So I was kidnapped? Oh, my god. What else don’t I know?

Michael: Look, let’s take a break.

Willow: No, no! We cannot stop now. Everything I ever thought about my childhood is a lie. I have to know the truth.


Dex: I never went to college, Mr. Corinthos, but I served two tours. I have combat experience. I can handle myself under pressure when everything’s on the line.

Sonny: I appreciate the ability to handle trouble, but I don’t want my employees looking for trouble.

Dex: I kept my nose clean at the gym. I only mixed it up when I had to.

Sonny: Chet told me that, yeah.

Dex: If you keep your cool, you don’t have to mix it up. But if there’s no choice, I act quickly and make sure I’m the last man standing.

Sonny: I like your attitude, but attitude can only get you so far. Sooner or later, you’re gonna have to back it up.


Sasha: Get out.

Felty: What are you gonna do, scream for help? Or scream for one of those little pills you were about to swallow before I took your picture?

Sasha: Those pills are for migraines, like the one you gave me when you refused to leave me alone.

Felty: Those capsules are distinctive, and they’re not for migraines. They’re not pillow mints, either.

Sasha: You know what, if you hadn’t chased after me, I wouldn’t —

Felty: You wouldn’t have turned Harmony Miller into roadkill?

Sasha: [ Gasps ] You are disgusting! I hadn’t taken anything.

Felty: Only because I surprised you.

Sasha: [ Scoffs ]

Felty: Okay, listen, beauty. Far be it from me to spoil the Face of Deception. I just want my memory card. Those pictures are my bread and butter.

Sasha: Mine too.

Felty: Well, then, I’ll delete the ones I have of you and the spilled pills. I’ll even forget I ever saw them.

Sasha: [ Laughing ] Okay. I’m supposed to believe you?

Felty: Mm-hmm. Believe this. I have connections. I can get you what you need.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Felty: I just sent you my number. Give me a call, sooner rather than later. It’ll be our little secret.


Gladys: My daughter-in-law is grieving the loss of her baby. The doctor prescribed medication to help her cope.

Valentin: Well, I’m sympathetic. The loss of her child was tragic. Um… but she does have a public history of drug abuse, which was covered on “Good Morning America,” no less. So her with medication would raise red flags. She’s my business partner. She’s the ace of the company, and she’s the brand ambassador, so she represents a huge part of my investment.

Gladys: I couldn’t trust Sasha more if she was my own flesh and blood daughter. Now, if you’ll excuse me.


Jordan: How did you get your hands on your father’s sealed arrest records? You know what? Never mind. I don’t want to force you to tell the truth or compel you to lie. Both are bad.

Curtis: Very interesting. You seem to care more about how I found out about Marshall’s past, but not what I found out.

Jordan: Damn it, Curtis. I care about you.


Nina: Diane, if you would just listen —

Scott: Alright, Nina, Nina, Nina. Quiet, quiet, quiet. Diane, we know that your BFF’s roommate just died under very mysterious circumstances.

Diane: I think you’re talking about Alexis’s houseguest, not roommate, Harmony Miller.

Scott: AKA Willow Tate’s mommy. Now, if they want to really play hardball, we’ll make sure that the judge knows that one of the grandmas is a murderer.

Diane: You knock yourself out, counselor, because you see, Harmony Miller was not biologically related to Wiley, therefore had no standing. Therefore, it’s a nonstarter. I’m actually a little surprised at how fuzzy you are as counselor for the petitioner on this particular legal question at issue. You see, the only reason why your client has any standing to bring a petition at all is because she’s the biological grandmother. And the biological mother, convicted murderer and kidnapper Nelle Benson, is dead. It’s a technicality. It’s a loophole. But my clients are well within their rights to argue against visitation. And if you [Chuckles] care about that little boy the way you say you do, you will drop this claim before the invader article goes national.


Willow: You were with my mother just before she died. Did she tell you why she lied about me being her child?

Harmony: You need to protect her. Nina’s love will smother her. Please, Carly.

[ Monitor alarm beeping ]

Harmony: Please.

Carly: We’ll take care of her. I promise you, Willow will be okay. I promise you that.

Carly: Willow…

Willow: Carly, please. My whole life suddenly just became one big question mark. Did my mom — did Harmony tell you anything?


Dex: I wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t ready to prove that you can trust me.

Sonny: Your service is impressive. And I saw what you can do at the gym. But there are other factors that I need to consider.

Dex: If you hire me, you’ll see what I bring.

[ Knock on door ]

Brando: Oh, you’re in a meeting. I’ll wait outside.

Sonny: No, the meeting’s over. Brando, Dex. Dex, Brando. Dex is gonna be at the bar. He’s going to have an espresso. He’s gonna wait.

Dex: Thank you, Mr. Corinthos. I appreciate your time.

Sonny: Close the door.

[ Door closes ]

Sonny: So, what? I heard about the accident. What — how’s Sasha?

Brando: Physically, she’s fine. Emotionally, you know… I mean, she just — she just began to deal with losing Liam, and then — then this happened, man.

Sonny: Must be tough. But you’re helping her cope, right?

Brando: I’m trying. I’m trying. Sasha thinks she needs to be strong for me, but I can’t seem to get through her defenses. That’s why I’m here. I’m hoping — I’m hoping you know what to do.


Sasha: When I said I wanted to meet, I thought it would be at the office. It’s a little early for happy hour. We’re still on the clock. [ Sighs ] You still have it.

Gladys: I was thinking of flushing it down the toilet.

Sasha: Do you even realize, if you would have taken one of these and they’d found it in your system? No. You have been given a second chance. Don’t…blow it.

Sasha: Don’t.

Gladys: Why not?

Sasha: Because the jerk wants it back.

Gladys: [ Scoffs ] I’ll just bet he does. Give me one good reason to say yes.


Jordan: I care about you. But it’s not like I still have feelings for you in that way, like I did when we were married. [ Sighs ] I mean, I do love you, but — [ Sighs ] Feel free to help me out of this hole I’m digging here.

Curtis: I get it. You don’t want me to get so caught up in Marshall’s past that I cross the line.

Jordan: If that happened, I wouldn’t be able to look the other way.

Curtis: I wouldn’t ask you to.

Jordan: As long as we’re clear.

Curtis: We’re clear.

Jordan: Alright, then. Was it worth whatever price you paid to find out what you wanted to know about Marshall?

TJ: Marshall? What about him?


Nina: Diane, I’m only doing this because I care about Wiley. I am not going to allow Wiley’s parents to deprive him of someone who really loves him and who he loves — especially now, because Harmony’s gone.

Scott: Yeah, so let me put it to you simply, okay? If you go ahead with Smoltz’s hatchet job, it is open season on Harmony.

Diane: And make Willow yet another innocent victim of Harmony? Please, by all means, be my guest.

Nina: Oh, Willow Tate is hardly an innocent victim. She refuses to stand up to Michael over and over again. She cut me out of Wiley’s life without batting an eyelash.

Diane: Perhaps your attorney has neglected to tell you this — big surprise — but Michael and Willow are Wiley’s parents, and it is their legal obligation, not to mention their moral and sacred duty, to do what they feel is in the best interest of that child while you, Ms. Reeves, have a documented and provable history of emotional and mental instability. If you would like to avoid further embarrassment, further public humiliation, withdraw that claim.

Nina: Diane, let me make this perfectly clear. If Willow and Michael insist on dragging me through the mud, I’ll return the favor and drag them right along with me.


Willow: There’s something my mother told you before she died, something I should know.

Carly: Willow, I think Dante’s right. There’s a lot of questions that need to be answered.

Dante: First off, I’d like you to take a DNA test. That way, we can rule out any blood relation between you and Harmony.

Michael: That makes sense, but Willow’s already been through the wringer. Can’t that wait for a little bit?

Dante: Well, it can, Michael, but look, if you want answers to these questions, which it seems like you really do, the sooner you take this test, the better.

Willow: Michael’s right. I, um… I need time to digest everything I’ve learned.

Dante: Okay. I guess I’ll check back in tomorrow. I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Carly: I’m going to take off, too. Yeah. Hey.

Michael You gonna be okay?

Carly: Yeah. Yeah. Been a crazy day. Stay strong for Willow.

Michael: Yeah.

Carly: Yeah. You know what? The answers will come when you’re ready. I told Harmony that I would protect you, and I will.

Willow: Protect me from what?


Dex: I recognize Brando from the gym. He’s Mr. Corinthos’… nephew?

Frank: Cousin.

Dex: Mr. Corinthos is famous for his coffee and his loyalty. You’ve got to admire both.

Brando: I’m sorry for imposing. You have enough troubles without my adding to them.

Sonny: No, listen, you can always come to me. Lesson number one — when you’re family, your troubles are my troubles.

Brando: And vice versa.

Sonny: Absolutely.

Brando: What’s lesson number two?

Sonny: If you love someone, don’t wait for them to come to you. Sasha’s in pain. Let her know that you’re not scared, that you’re not looking for a way out.

Brando: I’m there for the good and the bad, just like I said in my marriage vows.

Sonny: Absolutely. Putting her first, you cannot go wrong. I know she’s going to say to you, “Look, I’m okay.” And you got to trust that, you got to respect her. But… if there are any warning signs, do not ignore that.

Brando: I’ll make sure that she knows, if she falls, I will catch her.

Sonny: You do that, you can’t go wrong.


Sasha: The memory card has all the photographer’s photos, not only mine. If we give it back, then maybe he’ll leave us alone.

Gladys: As long as I have this little card in my hand, we’re in the driver’s seat. Oh, pardon the expression.

Sasha: [ Sighs ]

Gladys: You make my son happy, and what makes Brando happy makes me happy. So if there’s something else, something interfering with Brando’s happiness, I will protect you. Which means you can trust me with anything.


Jordan: Hi, my busy doctor son. Mm. As much as I’d love to stay and chat, your uncle has something he wants to talk to you about. When was the last time you slept?

TJ: [ Sighs ]

Jordan: You look tired, baby.

TJ: I was all set to go home, Dr. Westbourne okayed it, and then we got slammed, so I stayed.

Jordan: I admire your dedication. But don’t forget to take care of yourself.

TJ: I know. Dr. Westbourne literally just said the same thing, and Molly’s on board.

Jordan: Okay, well, I need to get back to my own job. I love you, baby.

TJ: I love you. It’s good to see you.

Jordan: Good to see you.

TJ: So, you were saying about Marshall?

Curtis: I ran into your mom by accident, but I wanted to talk to you about your grandfather.

TJ: You saved me a trip. There’s something I want to show you.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

Dante: Oh, hey, Jordan. Uh, I just came from seeing Willow Tate.

Jordan: And?

Dante: I tried to break the news to her gently.

Jordan: Did she agree to give you a DNA sample to confirm she’s not Harmony Miller’s biological daughter?

Dante: No. I got some pushback from Michael.

Jordan: I don’t blame them. Willow needs time to grieve. Give her a night to process, see if she and Michael are more open to it tomorrow. In the meantime, I have a more pressing job for you.

Dante: What’s more pressing than proving that Harmony wasn’t Willow’s birth mother?

Jordan: Finding out who was.


Scott: I’m sure it’s not going to come down to mutually assured destruction. Will it, Diane?

Diane: If Nina wants a fight to the bitter end, so be it.

Scott: Hmm.

Diane: I’m going to find a new nail salon.

Nina: Diane, just wait one second. Wiley, he needs all of his family, right? Now more than ever. And I understand that Willow’s whole world has shattered, I do. But don’t punish that little boy because of Willow’s pain.

Diane: Nina, you seem to think that depriving Wiley of your presence would be a punishment. Court may not agree with you.

Scott: Ahh. Don’t let her get to you.

Nina: You’re right. She is a barracuda. But whatever Michael is paying her to drive me out of Wiley’s life, it’s just a waste of his money.

Scott: Okay, so it sounds to me it’s all-out war.

Nina: It’s war. It is.

Scott: Okay. Alright, good. Then you’ve changed your mind.

Nina: About what?

Scott: Sonny. You’ve got to let me put him up on the stand.


Michael: Sounds like Harmony wanted my mom to protect you from the truth about all the lines that she crossed.

Willow: Harmony was probably delirious. Most end-of-life patients are. She couldn’t prevent the truth from coming out. But now that I know she wasn’t my birth mother…

Wiley: Mommy!

Melanie: Someone missed his mommy.

Willow: Not half as much as his mommy missed him.


Valentin: I was hoping that Drew Cain would wait a little longer to take an interest in ELQ. Your girlfriend has promised to vote to support me as CEO, but her vote only counts as a tiebreak, so I am afraid that my days are numbered.

Carly: Bad news?

Valentin: Oh, it’s just business. It’s nothing life-threatening.

Carly: Hmm.

Valentin: I heard about Harmony Miller’s incident. Glad you weren’t harmed.

Carly: Thank you.

Valentin: I imagine Willow Tate is pretty badly shaken.

Carly: Now, why would you care about that?

Valentin: Well, Willow was my daughter’s third grade teacher, and after a rocky start, she was actually pretty good for her.

Carly: That doesn’t surprise me. Willow’s a wonderful person.

Valentin: Yeah, who is now grieving her mother and facing a prolonged court battle with Nina. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Carly: And Nina got to you.

Valentin: Imagine if we could get our priorities straight, Carly. And you could lead the way by making peace with Nina.


Brando: You learn anything more about that attempted robbery at Charlie’s?

Sonny: That’s not your concern. You take care of Sasha. I’ll take care of everything else.


Sasha: Thanks for looking out for me, Gladys. But, um, don’t you think that returning the memory card would be a gesture of good faith? You know, maybe one day, he’ll return the favor. I’ve got to get back to work. So should you.

After I finish my drink.


Curtis; Hey, that’s —

TJ: Marshall’s. I know. This is also from him.

Curtis: [ Sighs ] “I wanted to leave you a gift, but all I have to offer is this gift of music. Like you said about surgery, it’s part of one great, unfinished symphony. Your loving grandfather.”

TJ: Do you know what he means?

Curtis: It means your grandfather left town because of me.


Dante: To find Willow’s birth mother, I need to start with Harmony Miller.

Jordan: Dig up anything you can find on Harmony’s background before she came to Port Charles. Somewhere out there, a mother is missing her daughter.


Nina: No, nothing has changed. Just leave Sonny out of it. But Michael — Michael is fair game.

Scott: Only Michael?

Nina: No. And Willow. Willow also. Because she has the keys to unlocking the door that’s blocking my access to my grandson. What is — what is that saying? When someone looks like they’re too good to be true —

Scott: They’re usually not.

Nina: There must be something about Willow Tate that we can uncover, Scott. And I want you to keep digging until you find it.


Carly: So, what is it about Nina that makes otherwise rational men come to her defense?

Valentin: When does the hurting stop? When do we stop attacking one another and get on with our lives?

Carly: You should ask Nina that question. She kept Sonny from his family for nine months, and then she slept with him. Now she’s petitioning the court to allow her to visit my grandson.

Valentin: Well, he’s her grandson, as well. And from her perspective, you cost her a daughter, so… why don’t we just end this?


Wiley: Why are you crying, mommy? Do you have a boo-boo?

Willow: No, no. They’re — they’re happy tears, sweetie, because I am sitting here with you and Daddy, the two most important men in my life.

Michael: Hey, bud. I think that Annabel II really, really misses you. So why don’t you go back to the house with Melanie, and your Mommy and I will meet you and Annabel there very soon, okay?

Wiley: Promise?

Michael: Promise.

Wiley: Okay.

[ Door closes ]

Willow: Wiley’s lucky. He’s young. Barely knew his grandma Harmony. Whatever pain he might feel about never seeing her again will heal.

Michael: And, um… and yours?

Willow: I don’t know. [ Sniffles ] I just keep asking myself the same question — if Harmony isn’t my birth mother… who is?

On the next “General Hospital” —

TJ (to Curtis): Was it worth losing the one chance you had with your father?

Cameron (to Spencer): I need to know that the hell that I’ve been catching is worth it.

Nina (to Ava): This time it’ll be on my orders.

Valentin (to Carly): Can you really tell me there’s no part of you that feels for me.

Esme: I intend to be happy.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Lani: Oh, my god. Oh, my god, eli, oh, my god. Oh, my god, baby. Eli, can you hear me? Oh, my god. Oh, my god, baby, oh, my god. I prayed and I prayed for you. I prayed and… and you came back to me. Oh, my god, baby. You are here, you are here. Oh, my god.

Ciara: Get out my way, allie.

Allie: Ciara, you’re not thinking straight. Where would you even go?

Ciara: To the docks. I’ll go find those cops and make them take me to ben.

[Gasps]

Allie: What’s wrong? What happened?

Ciara: My water just broke.

Allie: Really?

Ciara: Oh, my god. Oh, damn it, damn it.

Allie: No, no, no, don’t say that, don’t say that.

Ciara: No, allie. Allie, I need ben. I can’t do this without ben.

Allie: Yes, you can.

Ciara: No, I can’T.

Allie: Yes, you can, and you will, okay? But you need to calm down for your baby’s sake. I know you want ben, ciara, but you need to think of your baby. Think about how long you’ve waited.

Demon allie: How long I’ve waited.

Allie: Your baby will be born today, and it’s going to be the happiest day of your life.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Eli: Hey.

Lani: Oh, no, no, shh. Baby, shh, okay.

Eli: Hey.

Lani: Hey, baby. You’re on a ventilator, okay? Don’t talk. Let me get a doctor, okay? I love you so much. I love you.

Paulina: Life and death, huh?

Tr: You know, I’m suddenly aware that we’re in the middle of a busy hospital. You think we can maybe go someplace that’s a little more private? Like my room?

Paulina: Um, no, no, I think we better go back to my place, and then you can ask the question and then leave.

Tr: Whatever you say.

Paulina: That’s right, and don’t you forget it.

Lani: Oh, oh, my god. Oh, my god, my eli is back. Oh, my god, my eli is back. Paulina. Dr. Johnson, eli, he woke up. He’s up, he’s up.

Johnny: Grandma, I don’t think trying to make a connection with allie is really gonna work right now, not the way things are.

Susan: Why not?

Johnny: Oh, I don’t know because she’s the devil.

Susan: No, she’s possessed by the devil, and that’s why I know you can reach her. Oh, honey, you know the real allie better than anyone else in the world. And you need to use your love. You need to use your love to reach out and let her know that, you know, not just for ciara, but for your sister. ‘Cause she’s lost right now, sweetheart, and you need to find her.

Ciara: Okay, allie, I need you to help me get down to the docks. I need to go back to the mainland, I need to be in the hospital with ben telling me how to breathe.

Allie: Okay, sweetheart, ben is dead.

Ciara: No, he’s not, allie. No, he’s not. I told you I can feel him. I need ben, I miss him, I want him. I need ben.

Allie: Okay, okay, ciara, ciara, I know you don’t wanna have your baby here, but the fact is, you do not have a choice in the matter. Ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks.

Johnny: You know I would do anything for allie, but I don’t know what to do. I can’t make that thing happen. It just happens.

Susan: But yes you can. Yes, you can, johnny. I’m not saying it’s gonna be easy, but you need to amplify that connection that you have, that bond that you have, and then that maybe we can reach out to her, sweetheart. All right, do you have a phone, a picture of her–

Johnny: The devil has my phone, the devil has my phone.

Ben: Well, maybe ciara has one somewhere.

Susan: Wait, you know what? You know what, you texted me one last year. I have it right here. Okay, all right. Let see where it is, okay. No, no, no. Okay, there it is, I found it. Okay, now, I want you, johnny, to just concentrate on that photo, all right? Get that it your head, sweetheart. Concentrate on that photo, and i want you to remember what was happening, what you both were saying, okay? Like it was happening right now, right in this room, and I want you to see what she sees.

>>Allie: Easy now, easy now.

Ciara: Allie, you have to go down to the docks, and you need to tell the cops to phone for a doctor.

Allie: There’s no time.

Ciara: I can’t do this alone.

Allie: You’re not alone. I’m here, and I’ll help you.

Ciara: I want ben, allie. I need ben to do this with me.

Allie: Sorry, girlfriend, but I’m all you’ve got, okay? But I promise you and your baby are in good hands.

Ciara: Oh, god.

Abe: I’m so sorry to hear about ciara. Has there been any word?

Julie: No, shawn-douglas, the whole salem pd is searching everywhere for her. The devil is still after her baby, and now he’s possessed allie.

Abe: I’m keeping them in my prayers.

Julie: Thank you, thank you so much. Have a seat.

Abe: Thank you. And what about the twins, were they any trouble?

Julie: They’re never any trouble, no, no. We got a little behind in the schedule, so they’re napping now, but I can wake them up if you’re in a hurry.

Abe: No, I’m not in a hurry. Don’t wake them up.

Julie: Okay, would you like some tea, or would you like something stronger?

Abe: I think tea would be great, thank you very much.

Julie: Fine. How are things at the hospital?

Abe: Lani’s hanging in there.

Julie: How about eli?

Abe: I’m sorry, julie. There’s no change.

Tripp: So how you feeling, eli?

Eli: Why am i in the hospital?

[Soft music]

Lani: The thing is, honey, you’ve been in a coma.

Eli: For how long?

Lani: Since march.

Eli: What is it now?

Lani: May.

Eli: Oh, my god. Baby, I’m so sorry.

Lani: No, no, hey, no, eli, don’T. Don’t you worry about me. You were the one who…

Eli: What, what happened?

Lani: You were shot. You don’t remember that?

Eli: No, nothing.

Tripp: No, no, don’t be alarmed by that; that’s completely normal.

Eli: Who shot me?

Lani: Baby, let’s get into that later.

Tripp: Yes, yes, later. I wanna give you a thorough exam first.

Tr: Paulina, I want you to know how much these past few months have meant to me. Getting to know my daughter and my grandchildren has been a true blessing.

Paulina: I am glad to hear that.

Tr: And on top of all that, you were generous enough to let me back into your life. After the way I treated you, I didn’t deserve another chance, but I am so grateful that you gave me one anyway because spending this time together, it’s made me realize that, paulina… you are the love of my life.

And I was hoping that you might do me the honor of becoming my wife. Lemons.

Abe: Well, things did get a little tense between tr and I.

Julie: Hmm.

Abe: He found out that paulina and I recently, well, um, we kissed.

Julie: Wow. A “well, uh” kiss. So does that mean pistols at dawn for you and tr?

Abe: No, no, no, no. Actually paulina kissed me. I pushed her away.

Julie: Oh, of course you did. She’s such a hussy.

Abe: I really love confiding in you, julie.

Julie: Okay, I’ll behave. Tell me, what did tr actually say?

Abe: He told me off for hurting paulina’s feelings.

Julie: He told you off?

Abe: Mm-hmm.

Julie: After everything he has done to her? The nerve of him. I really don’t understand why she has let him back into her life.

Abe: Well, I think things have gone beyond that now. I think there’s something romantic between them.

Julie: Oh, give me a break.

Abe: It just seems like a really bad idea.

Julie: Bad idea, it’s an awful idea–it’s stupid, a stupid idea!

Abe: You disapprove?

Julie: I do, and you do as well, and it’s about time, abraham, that you did something about this.

Abe: And what’s that supposed mean?

Julie: Well, I’m not a fool. Plain as the nose on your face, you still love her. So it’s time you got over yourself, abraham, and won her back.

Paulina: You want to marry me?

Tr: That’s right.

Paulina: Have you lost your damn mind?

Tr: I know this may seem sudden.

Paulina: Sudden? I’ve spent about three decades not knowing or caring where you are, and then you come here on business. Then you happen to bump into me, and the next thing I know it’s, “let’s tie the knot that binds.” To say that it’s too fast, that would be a massive understatement.

Tr: So how about this? Let me take you away for a romantic weekend. Give me a chance to sweep you off your feet.

Paulina: Well, that sounds a lot less radical, but…

Tr: Oh, come on, come on, come on, please. We’re talking about one weekend. What’s the harm in that?

Tripp: Everything seems good.

Lani: I cannot wait to tell everyone, but I don’t wanna leave your side.

Tripp: I can make those calls for you.

Lani: You don’t mind?

Tripp: No, not at all. We have the numbers on file. Take it easy, okay? I’ll be back soon.

Lani: Thank you. You really okay?

Eli: I’m okay.

Lani: Yeah.

Eli: Let’s talk about you. How are you? How are the kids?

Lani: We’re fine, we’re fine. I mean, I wasn’T. I was a mess, but I had so much help. Paulina, julie, my dad, they were all so wonderful with helping with the kids and keeping everything normal for them, and even tr, he pitched in.

Eli: You let tr near our kids, did you?

Lani: Eli, like you said, you missed a lot.

Allie: Keep breathing, right? Keep breathing, ciara.

Ciara: Oh, my god, allie. Oh, that was a bad one.

Allie: Is it over?

Ciara: I don’t know. I think so.

Allie: What are you doing?

Ciara: I have a picture of ben in here somewhere. If he can’t be here, then I want him here somehow.

[Tense music]

Johnny: I can’T. My head is killing me.

Susan: Oh, sweetie, sweetie.

>>Ben: Johnny, please, this is our only chance.

Johnny: I just don’t think it’s gonna work.

Ben: Ciara is alone with her right now. She is alone with the devil, who is after my baby. What if that baby comes early, johnny? Please, johnny.

Susan: I’m gonna do this with you, all right? Now hold my hand, and I want to you to close your eyes right now. And I want you to think, think of a picture of allie in your head, in your heart right now. Just close your eyes, sweetheart. And I want you–what I want you to think about and I want you to get allie to think about, is I want you to get her to think about her son, and how much she loves him, and how much ben and ciara are gonna love their baby. Johnny, I want you to see the first time allie was holding that baby of hers. You see it?

>>Johnny: Allie, allie. Hey, allie, I want you to think about henry. He needs you. You gotta get back to him. I see her. I can see ciara.

From prom dresses

Eli: So what else did I miss? You said the kids are fine, right? Carver, jules they’re okay, right?

Lani: Yes, baby, the kids are fine. My dad is on his way to your grandmother’s to pick them up right now.

>>Eli: Hopefully, you’re not talking about tr; I don’t want that man near our kids.

Lani: Hey, hey, carver and jules were never left alone with tr. But, babe, he did help me with all of this. Paulina and I, we both had our reservations about tr, especially paulina, but even she’s beginning to think that he’s a changed man.

Eli: Hm, I guess I did miss a lot. Last thing I remember is I had the isa check him out.

Lani: Yeah, that’s right.

Eli: There was something else. I called the isa, and I spoke to somebody, somebody that knew him.

Lani: His ex-girlfriend, billie tracked her down.

Eli: Oh, wait. Yeah, that’s right. She came to the station. She wanted to see me in per–what was her name?

Lani: Beth.

Eli: Yeah, beth, the actress.

Lani: Yeah, she lived in la with tr, and she wanted you to know that he was sober the entire time they were together, and he never laid a hand on her. Do you remember that?

Eli: No, I don’T. You sure that’s what she said?

Paulina: I’m telling you, ray, it just doesn’t feel right leaving lani, with eli still in the hospital.

Tr: It looks like he’s gonna be there a while, and I don’t think he’d want you to put your life on hold till he gets out. We’re talking about a couple of days. We don’t have to go far, and we can come right back if anything happens. Paulina, you’ve been running yourself ragged, working, helping lani. Just think of this as some well-earned r and R. You can come back refreshed and ready to help lani again.

Paulina: Well, I have been stretched pretty thin lately, these days. Okay, why not?

Tr: [Laughs] You have no idea how happy you have made me.

Ben: How is ciara? Is she all right?

Ciara: [Gasping]

Johnny: She’s on the floor. Looks like she’s in pain.

Ben: Is she hurt?

Johnny: No, no, I think she’s in labor.

Ben: No, no, no, no, she’s not due for another couple weeks.

Johnny: I think the baby’s on its way.

Ben: Is allie with her?

Johnny: Yeah. Yeah, I think I’m seeing ciara through allie’s eyes.

Susan: Okay, johnny, just keep going, keep talking to her. Come on, come on. You can do this, sweetheart.

Allie: Okay, breathe, just breathe through the pain.

Ciara: Yeah, that’s easy for you to say.

Allie: Just trying to…

Ciara: Allie, is everything okay–is something wrong?

Johnny: Allie, look around the room. Show me where you are.

Allie: Sneaky little bastard.

Ciara: What did you just say?

Allie: Get out. I said get out of here.

Ciara: Allie, what did you just say?

Allie: Sorry, I was talking to the baby.

Susan: Johnny!

Ben: Johnny, what happened?

Johnny: The devil, he figured out what was happening.

Susan: Why, did he block you out?

Johnny: Yeah, it was like a black out or something.

Ben: Look at me. Did you see where they were?

Johnny: I couldn’t see that much, but it looked like they were in some kind of cabin.

Ben: My cabin in mammoth falls.

Johnny: I don’t know, I’ve never been there.

Ben: Well, the devil has. I need to get up there right now.

Susan: What…

[Tense music]

Allie: One more push, ciara, okay? I can see its head. One more big push, one more.

[Baby wailing]

Ciara: He’s here. Is he okay?

Allie: He’s perfect.

Ciara: Will you give me my baby, allie?

Allie: Just perfect.

Ciara: Let me see my baby. Allie, allie, let me have my baby. (Beep)

Abe: [Sighs] All right. Let’s say you’re right. Let’s say hypothetically that I do love paulina.

Julie: Of course I’m right.

Abe: That’s not the problem. The problem is I can’t trust her. She’s lied to me too many times.

Julie: That’s a valid concern; trust is very important, but at this point, what has she got left to lie about? I mean, unless she’s the mastermind behind the great british train robbery, you know everything now, unless of course, I get it.

Abe: Get what?

Julie: Well, I loathe tr personally, but he does have certain charms. He’s a smooth talker. He’s attractive enough. He’s sort of a hollywood player type. Perhaps at your age, you do not care to compete with the new kid in town.

Abe: You are an evil woman, evil.

Julie: Abraham, it’s okay to hang up your cleats, so to speak, to throw in the towel as it were, ’cause after all, everybody knows, love, that’s a young man’s game. More tea?

Paulina: Oh, where’s my phone? I need to call lani, let her know.

Tr: I’ll call her. You go pack.

Paulina: Well, I hope you’re not totally devastated about my turning down your proposal.

Tr: I’ll get by somehow. And get that money somehow. Lani?

Tripp: No, this is dr. Johnson. I’m actually to calling for her. Is her mom there?

Tr: Dr. Johnson, this is lani’s father. Is everything okay?

Tripp: Oh, mr. Coates. Yes, everything’s fine. In fact, I have good news. Eli just woke up.

Lani: What do you mean, am I sure? She told me herself.

Eli: Okay. So the day that I talked to her, that was the day I got shot? How did it happen?

Lani: Hey, we don’t have to do this right now.

Eli: No, no, baby, I wanna know. What happened?

Lani: Well, what we know is that you left beth at the station. She said that you told her you would be right back, but you didn’t say where you were going or why, and somehow you ended up at the park. The drug dealer was already there, and somehow he ended up shooting you.

Eli: Why?

Lani: We don’t know. Shawn and I, we were first on the scene. The drug dealer had already od’d, and his name was frank. There was a needle by his body, and your gun was in his hand, and I just… I just really thought that I was gonna lose you.

[Soft music]

Johnny: I’m gonna try again. I’ve gotta get to allie.

Susan: You will, sweetheart. You will. You can do this, honey, okay?

[Baby wailing]

Johnny: Ciara had the baby. Allie’s holding him.

Susan: Oh, sweet jesus, please help them. Oh, please.

Johnny: Allie, it’s me. Listen to me, you have to fight. Don’t let the devil hurt ciara or the baby.

Allie: I said, get out!

Ciara: Allie, what’s going on?

[Tense music]

Allie: Everything is fine. Or it will be soon.

Susan: Oh johnny, johnny.

Johnny: I don’t know what he just did, but I don’t think we’re gonna get back in.

Susan: Okay, all right, you tried, that’s all that counts. You tried, sweetheart.

Johnny: I did better than try. Grandma, allie heard me. She told me where they were. She was looking at a ferry ticket to smith island. They’re not at ben’s cabin. They’re at the horton cabin. Oh, my god. Grandma, ben went to the wrong cabin.

Ciara: Allie, allie, let me see him.

Allie: Welcome to the world, baby boy.

Ciara: Give me my baby. Allie, did you hear me? I said, give me my baby. Give me my baby!

Allie: No, ciara. This is my baby. This is the sound of nature breathing.

Julie: And may I say one more thing?

Abe: Can anything stop you?

Julie: No, of course not. When you were shot, and we were waiting outside surgery for you to come out of that experience, I was with paulina. She would’ve done anything on earth to keep you safe. She loves you, abraham. She loves you fiercely. Do you really want to let a woman who loves you like that slip away?

Abe: No, no. No, I don’t want to lose her.

Julie: Then tell her you want her back.

Abe: I will, I will.

Julie: Good. Well, go.

Abe: Oh, I’m here to pick up the kids.

Julie: The twins are fine. You go to paulina now.

>>Abe: All right, well, you definitely have told me it’s time for me to get over myself.

Julie: What are friends for?

Abe: Oh, thank you for the tea.

[Soft music]

Tr: Eli is awake?

Tripp: And we have every reason to believe he’ll make a complete recovery.

Tr: Has he said anything about what happened to him?

Tripp: No, no, he doesn’t seem to remember what happened before the shooting. That is normal with trauma like his.

Tr: I see.

Tripp: But it is possible that his memory will come back. We just have to wait and see.

Tr: Well, thank you for the good news. I’ll tell paulina right away. Damn.

Paulina: Did you speak to lani?

Tr: I just got off the phone with her, and she said, she thinks it’s a great idea for us to get away for a few days, and she wants you to have the time of your life.

Lani: Shawn tried to revive the dealer, but it was too late. So we had no way of knowing what exactly went down.

Eli: Do you have a picture of frank?

Lani: Yeah. There, that’s him.

Eli: He doesn’t look familiar.

Lani: And you don’t remember why you went to the park?

Eli: No. You’re under arrest.

[Tense music]

Lani: Eli, hey, what is it?

Eli: It’s starting to come back to me.

Susan: Ah, shoot. It went straight to voicemail.

Johnny: Yeah, I don’t think there’s any service up there.

[Phone line trilling]

[Phone beeps]

Susan: Oh, hey ben. It’s susan, all right. You went to the wrong cabin. It’s the horton cabin on smith island. That is the horton cabin. Oh, please god, let him get this message. Oh.

Ciara: Your baby? Allie, is this some kind of a sick joke? Just give me my baby.

Allie: Sorry, ciara, but I have other plans for him.

Ciara: What are you talking about? Allie, give me my son. Damn it, allie, do you hear me? Give him to me.

Demon allie: Sorry. I’m not allie. Honestly, I thought I was getting my floors cleaned.

Ciara: No, no.

Demon allie: Surprise.

Ciara: No, no, it can’t be. It can’t be. We thought you were in johnny.

Demon allie: In my business, you need to learn how to pivot. Taking on this particular corporeal identity was a spur of the moment kind of thing, but like everything I do, it was inspired. Like “call the satanic midwife.”

Ciara: Please, please don’t do this. Please don’t do this. He’s just an innocent little baby, please.

Demon allie: Not for long. See, no one can stop me now.

Allie: No, I won’t let you do this.

Lani: What do you remember?

Eli: I was struggling with the gun.

Lani: With frank?

Eli: Maybe. All I know is I’m keeping you away from my family.

Tr: You can’t keep me away from your wife and my grandchildren.

Eli: Watch me. You’re under arrest. Oh, my god.

Lani: What? What is it?

Tr: Ah!

Eli: Baby, it wasn’t frank who shot me. It was tr.

Tr: Paulina, let’s go.

Paulina: Ray, hold your horses. I haven’t even finished packing yet.

Tr: It’s just a weekend. You don’t need a lot of clothes where you’re going.

[Knock at door]

[Sighs] What now?

[Tense music]

Johnny: Rafe, it’s johnny. We figured out where allie took ciara. They’re at the horton cabin, and, rafe, ciara’s had her baby. You’ve gotta get there right away.

Ciara: Ben, oh, my god, ben.

Ben: Oh, my god, you’re okay. Baby, you’re okay, you’re okay. Thank god you’re okay. Oh, my god, oh, my god. I’m almost went to the wrong place and–never mind, never mind, never mind, never mind. Never mind. Where’s allie?

Ciara: Ben, she’s gone. And that wasn’t allie. Ben, that was the devil, and he took our baby. He took my baby.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Steffy: Do not take another step, sheila. Not one more. If you think you’re walking out of here, think again.

Zende: Why are you joking around? If you don’t wanna tell me who this other guy is, you don’t have to, but I would hope, by now you’d be comfortable enough with me to–

Paris: Zende. It’s not a joke.

Zende: What? Y– you’re serious? You have feelings for carter?

Carter: Look, quinn, I don’t know why I got caught up with paris.

Quinn: Well, it’s not too hard to figure out. I mean, she’S… cute. And likable enough, to most people.

Carter: [ Laughing ] Okay. I just feel bad for going down that path with her. It’s never fun telling someone it’s over, especially when they don’t want to hear it.

Quinn: Look, I understand why paris is having such a hard time getting over you. I’m just glad that the feeling isn’t mutual.

Zende: Whoa, this is like, uh… okay, when you told me that I knew the guy, I wasn’t expecting carter.

Paris: I– I wasn’t expecting it either. Especially because i really enjoyed dating you. Of course I did. You’re a great guy. But… yeah. I’ve developed feelings for carter.

Zende: When? Have you been seeing carter this entire time?

Quinn: I realize paris probably has a lot of fine qualities, and maybe in another life she would have been your perfect match. But in this one, when you’ve almost lost everything because you were involved with me, not to mention she’s involved with a forrester, which is already a big deterrent.

Carter: Yeah. Yeah, that’s one of the many cons outweighing the pros.

Quinn: Mm hm, exactly. Wait, there are pros? I’m just saying… there’s a better match out there for you. Much better than paris.

Sheila: The– the last thing that I want to do is upset you, especially… while you’re still trying to heal.

Steffy: Yet you decided to show up uninvited.

Sheila: I did and that was my mistake. But why are you telling me I can’t go? Is that what you want to tell me? You– you want me to know?

Sheila: Because I– I swear I’m not going to do anything that-

Steffy: Yes, that–that’s exactly it, that is exactly it. I’m not letting you waltz on out of here thinking it’s no big deal to just show up any time you want. It is a big deal. A very big deal. And I’m not having it.

Sheila: Understood. And I apologize. I guess I was just hoping, knowing that we both lost finn and that you’re in as much pain as I am, I- I really just want to hold my grandson. I want to bond with him. And you know what? Like it or not, steffy, we are always going to be connected because of finn and hayes.

Steffy: You can go.

Sheila: I am sorry. And don’t even think about me, steffy. Please, don’t think about me at all.

[ Taylor sighing ]

Taylor: Honey, I shouldn’t— I shouldn’t have let her in. I am so sorry. Are you okay?

Steffy: I mean, am I ever okay when sheila is around?

Taylor: No.

Ridge: Hey. So, I’m in the guest house… what? What’s goingon?

Taylor: Sheila was here. She just left.

Ridge: Sheila was here?

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: Why? What’d she want? Are you one of the millions of americans

Zende: I don’t mean to put you on the spot, but this seems really weird to me. I mean, I have been completely upfront with you about all the dates I’ve been on. To think that you could have been hiding something like this from me, it’s–

Paris: That’s why… that’s why I’m telling you now. Because it’s not like carter and I have been dating. But I’d like to.

Zende: Ah, so, you should.

Paris: Yeah?

Zende: Yeah. I want you to be happy, paris. You know, I wish you could be with me, but if you think your happiness is elsewhere, then you’ve got to give it a shot.

Zende: Go ahead. Go where your heart is telling you to go. Even if it leads you to carter.

Carter: Okay, quinn. I know you have your reasons for keeping your guard up with paris.

Quinn: Legitimate reasons. I still can’t believe that you can get past what paris did and want to be involved with her. Oh, wait, not to mention that, huh, she is zoe’s sister.

Carter: I know. No, and… look, I can’t describe how it happened, okay? I just went with it and it felt good to have a woman look at me like that again. But I also know that it couldn’t go anywhere, so whatever happened between me and paris, it’s over.

[ Sighing ]

Quinn: Wise choice. Look, there are a lot of beautiful, intelligent women out there who come with a lot less baggage into a relationship than paris does.-Don’t worry, you will find the one.

Ridge: Sheila knows she’s still not welcome here, right?

Steffy: No, she isn’T.

Taylor: Well, if she didn’t know before, she knows now.

Ridge: Good. Hey, I know you’re feeling sympathetic towards her and I get it. Her son’s gone. But that doesn’t mean she can show up here whenever she wants.

Taylor: No, I know. I agree. I do. I– it was a mistake for her to come here–

Ridge: It was a mistake.

Taylor: Hey. Sweetheart, where’d you go?

Steffy: What?

Taylor: Honey, what is it?

Ridge: You know what it is. Sheila was just here.

Taylor: No, but sheila just left. What…

Steffy: No. No, it’s not just that.

[ Eerie whooshing ]

Steffy: I never feel good when sheila’s around, but this…

[ Eerie buzzing ]

Steffy: Something’s wrong.

Steffy: Something’s very wrong.

Deacon: Ah, you must be coming from steffy’S. How’d that work out for you?

Sheila: All right, you know what? Enough out of you. Things didn’t go quite as planned.

Deacon: Planned? Hah! You did not have a plan– just show up at steffy’s unannounced-

Sheila: All right, fine. You know what? It was a bad idea. A very bad idea. And way too risky.

Deacon: Risky? What– what do you mean, risky? If you’re washing with the bargain brand,

Quinn: I have an idea. It’s unconventional, but hear me out.

Carter: Okay.

Quinn: Okay. What if, just if, you expand your dating pool outside of forrester creations.

[ Laughing ]

Carter: Mind blown.

Quinn: What?

[ Exploding noise ]

Carter: No. No, no.

Quinn: No? It works.

Carter: Because all the awkwardness and anxiety of a workplace romance would go away, and I’ve grown quite addicted to it.

Quinn: You are an addict.

Carter: I am.

Quinn: Like a junkie.

Carter: I need help!

Quinn: You need to go to drama rehab. We need to get you into one. We’ll find you a space.

Paris: Am I interrupting?

Carter: No, no. We were just sharing a much-needed laugh.

Paris: That– that’s always a good thing.

Quinn: Yeah. Well, I need to get back to frowning because I have a reputation to uphold.

[ Quinn humming softly ]

Carter: So, what’s up?

Paris: Well, I did something that you should know about.

Carter: Okay.

Paris: Something that I should have done from the very beginning, from the moment we started seeing each other.

Carter: Paris.

Paris: Zende knows now. I told him about us.

Sheila: You know what I mean by risky. You said it was a bad idea, that I shouldn’t delude myself.

Deacon: And what do you know? I was right. Yet again. Hey, you look freaked out. I mean, more than you usually do. What’s going on? Come on.

Sheila: All I wanted was a chance. An opportunity to be a mother to finn. Steffy refused, and now he’s gone. He’s gone. I’m never going to see my son again. And that’s all steffy’s fault.

Steffy: I think I need to sit down.

Ridge: Come on. Here. Should I call bridget? Are you in pain? What’s going on?

Steffy: No. No, no, it’s not that.

[ Eerie whooshing ]

Steffy: I have this feeling of dread, and I can’T…

[ Eerie buzzing ]

Steffy: I don’t understand what I’m seeing.

Ridge: What are you– what are you saying? That you’re seeing something? You’re seeing someone?

Steffy: See il giardino. In the alley.

[ Eerie whooshing ]

Steffy: I can see finn.

Taylor: Okay. Breathe, baby, breathe.

Ridge: What else? Who do you see? Whatever gives you life

Carter: You told zende about us?

Paris: Okay, not everything.

Carter: What does that even mean, paris?

Paris: I was feeling guilty, okay? About keeping things from him. I just… I couldn’t take it anymore. When he asked me to be honest, if there was someone in my life, I felt like I owed him the truth. Or at least, partially the truth. But don’t freak out. I didn’t throw you under the bus, I just told him that I was interested in you and that I think it’s worth exploring. But this is a good thing! Now we don’t have to hide our relationship–

Carter: Paris. We’re friends, okay, paris? We’re just friends. That’s our relationship. Anything beyond that is over.

Paris: You’ve known me long enough to know that when I set my sights on something–

Carter: Paris, it’s-it’s not happening for us.

Paris: Why is that?

Carter: I told you.

Paris: You told me excuses about zende, excuses about my mom. But I think I know the real reason. You’re still hung up on quinn.

Deacon: What is going on with you? Steffy was a victim, too. None of this was her fault. What? Do– do you think somehow she could have saved finn?

Sheila: No. Just don’t pay attention to me, okay? Because I’m hurting.

Deacon: I understand.

Sheila: No. No. I don’t think you could possibly. I just think it’s time.

Deacon: Time?

Sheila: I can’t be here.

Deacon: Sheila, I’m not going to let you hurt yourself, if that’s what you’re thinking of doing–

Sheila: I can’t be in L.A. I came here because of finn. And now he’s gone, and steffy won’t let me have anything to do with hayes. So, there’s nothing left for me here.

Sheila: I have to go. I just have to go.

Steffy: I… I can picture the alley. And there was a– there was a– there was a dumpster.

Ridge: And there was you and finn. Anyone else? Other people?

Steffy: Finn.

[ Eerie whooshing ]

Steffy: Oh, finn. I can see finn.

Taylor: It’s okay, baby. We’re right here. Tell us what you see.

Steffy: I see a door. A door… a– bah– a– a back door. And then he came toward me, but we didn’t come together.

Ridge: You– you didn’t? What are you…

Steffy: No, no, I went… I went alone.

Ridge: To– to the alley?

Steffy: No, to the– to the restaurant.

Steffy: The whole drive over

here I was thinking about what

I wanted to say to you.

Steffy: I went there to see someone. No. No, no. No, I went there to… to confront them. It was… I was– I was angry.

Steffy: I know what you did.

Taylor: Okay, do you know… do you know what you were angry about?

Steffy: No. Someone…

[ Groaning ] Someone… someone did something. And it’s why I went there. I was– I was upset, so I tried to…

[ Eerie ringing ]

Steffy: I tried to stop– no. I followed them, I followed them, I followed… to the alley, and I– I grabbed them. I grabbed them and I…

Steffy: Everyone is going

to know what you did.

Everyone.

And you will never have

a place in our lives.

Not ever.

[ Gasping ] Oh, my god.

Taylor: It’s okay, baby. Breathe. Breathe. We are right here.

Steffy: You don’t

have a relationship.

Not with finn, not with hayes.

You’re never going

to see them again.

Steffy: Oh, my god. [ Gasping ]

Ridge: You know who did this? You know who did this to you and finn?

[ Gasping ]

[ Heartbeat intensifying ]

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Eli finally begins to wake up so Lani excitedly asks if he can hear her. Eli manages to nod his head. Lani cries about how she’s been praying for him to come back. Eli is then able to grab her hand.

Ciara tells Allie to get out of her way. Allie argues that she’s not thinking straight and questions where she would even go. Ciara says she’ll go to the docks, find the cops, and make them take her to Ben. Ciara goes to leave, but stops and announces that her water just broke. Ciara starts to panic and says she can’t do this without Ben. Allie says she can and will, encouraging her to think about the baby and how long they have waited. Devil Allie declares that Ciara’s baby will be born today and it will be the happiest day of her life.

Lani tells Eli not to try to talk as she leaves the room to go get a doctor.

TR asks Paulina if they can go somewhere more private, like his room. Paulina suggests her place instead and then he can ask his question and leave. TR agrees to whatever she says as they exit the hospital together. Lani comes from Eli’s room, trying to catch her breath and talking about Eli being back. Lani then sees Paulina and TR leaving on the elevator but is too late to inform them. Lani then sees Tripp and informs him that Eli woke up so they rush back to his room.

Johnny tells Susan that he doesn’t think trying to make a connection with Allie will work with the way things are. Susan encourages that Johnny can reach her since he knows the real Allie better than anyone. Susan tells him to use his love to reach out and let her know that. Susan says that Allie is lost right now and Johnny needs to find her.

Ciara tells Allie that she needs to help her get to the hospital so Ben can help her breathe. Allie claims that Ben is dead but Ciara refuses to believe it. Allie knows she doesn’t want to have her baby here but says she does not have a choice in the matter.

Johnny tells Susan that he would do anything for Allie but he doesn’t know what to do as he can’t make it happen. Susan encourages that he can. Susan says it won’t be easy but he has to amplify the bond they have and then maybe they can reach out to her. Johnny mentions that the Devil has his phone. Susan gets her phone to use a picture of Allie that Johnny had sent her before. Susan then tells Johnny to concentrate on the photo. Susan encourages Johnny to see what Allie sees.

Ciara insists that Allie needs to go tell the cops to call a doctor but Allie says there’s no time. Ciara says she can’t do this alone and she wants Ben as she needs him to do this with her. Allie says she is all she’s got and promises that Ciara and her baby are in good hands.

Abe goes to the Horton House and tells Julie that he’s sorry to hear about Ciara. Abe asks if there’s been any word. Julie says no but Shawn and the whole police department are searching everywhere for her. Julie says that the Devil is still after her baby and has now possessed Allie. Abe says he’s keeping them in his prayers. Abe asks if the twins were any trouble. Julie assures they never are and are napping now. Julie offers Abe some tea which he accepts. Julie asks how things are at the hospital. Abe says Lani is hanging in there but there’s been no change in Eli.

Tripp asks Eli how he’s feeling. Eli asks why he’s in the hospital. Lani informs Eli that he’s been in a coma since March. Eli tells her that he’s so sorry. Lani tells him not to worry about her as he’s the one who was shot. Lani questions him not remembering that. Eli says he doesn’t. Tripp advises them not to be alarmed by that as it’s completely normal. Eli wonders who shot him. Lani says they will get in to that later. Tripp agrees as he wants to give him a thorough exam first.

TR and Paulina go back to her place. TR tells Paulina how much the last few months have meant to him and calls it a blessing to be around his daughter and grandchildren. TR adds that Paulina was generous enough to let him back in her life even though he didn’t deserve a second chance but he’s grateful that she gave him one anyway. TR states that spending time together has made him realize that Paulina is the love of his life. TR takes her hand and says he was hoping that she might do him the honor of becoming his wife.

Abe informs Julie that things have been tense between he and TR lately as TR found out that he and Paulina recently kissed. Abe explains that Paulina kissed him but he pushed her away and then TR told him off for hurting Paulina’s feelings. Julie doesn’t understand why Paulina has let TR back in to her life. Abe thinks things have gone beyond that now and there’s something romantic between them but it seems like a really bad idea, which Julie agrees with. Julie declares that it’s about time Abe does something about this because he still loves Paulina. Julie tells Abe to get over himself and win Paulina back.

Paulina questions TR wanting to marry her and asks if he’s lost his damn mind. TR knows it may seem sudden. Paulina argues that she’s spent 3 decades not knowing or caring where he is and then he happens to bump in to her and now he wants to tie the knot. Paulina says too fast would be a massive understatement. TR offers to take her away for a romantic weekend to sweep her off her feet. Paulina admits that sounds a lot less radical but she remains uncertain. TR insists that it’s one weekend and there’s no harm in that…

Tripp checks Eli out and says everything seems good. Lani can’t wait to tell everyone but she doesn’t want to leave Eli’s side. Tripp offers to make the calls for Lani. Tripp tells Eli to take it easy and he’ll be back soon as he then exits the room. Lani checks on Eli, who says he’s okay. Eli asks about her and the kids. Lani says they are fine. Lani admits she was a mess but she had so much help from Paulina, Julie, and Abe who were all wonderful helping with the kids. Lani adds that even TR pitched in. Eli questions if she let TR near their kids. Lani points out that Eli has missed a lot.

Allie prepares Ciara to give birth. Ciara pulls out a photo of Ben and says she wants him there in some way.

Johnny looks at the photo of he and Allie on Susan’s phone but says he can’t as his head is killing him. Ben pleads with Johnny that this might be their only chance, reminding him that Ciara is alone with the Devil, who is after their baby. Ben asks what if the baby comes early. Susan holds Johnny’s hand and says she’ll do it with him. Susan encourages Johnny to close his eyes and think of Allie and get Allie to think about her son. Susan wants Johnny to see the first time Allie held her baby. Johnny tries to speak to Allie and urges her to think about Henry as he needs her and she has to get back to him. Johnny then tells them that he can see Ciara through Allie’s eyes.

Eli asks Lani what else he missed and if the kids are fine. Lani assures that they and that Abe is on his way to Julie’s to pick them up. Eli doesn’t want TR near their kids. Lani assures that they were never left alone with TR, but he did help her with all of this. Lani mentions that she and Paulina both had reservations about TR, but even Paulina is beginning to think that he’s a changed man. Eli guesses he did miss a lot as the last thing he remembers is having the ISA check TR out. Eli says there was something else and recalls speaking to someone that knew TR. Lani identifies that was TR’s ex girlfriend Beth, who Billie tracked down. Eli remembers Beth coming to see him at the police station and that she was an actress. Lani explains that Beth wanted Eli to know that TR was sober the entire time they were together and that he never laid a hand on her, but Eli does not remember that and asks if she’s sure that’s what Beth said.

Paulina tells TR that it doesn’t feel right to leave Lani while Eli is still in the hospital. TR comments that it looks like Eli will be there for awhile and he doesn’t think Eli would want her to put her life on hold. TR adds that it’s just a couple days and they will come right back if anything happens. TR points out that Paulina has been running herself ragged and she can come back refreshed, ready to help Lani again. Paulina admits she’s been stretched thin lately and agrees to go away with TR. TR tells her that she has no idea how happy she has made him as he gets up and hugs her.

Ben asks Johnny how Ciara is. Johnny continues to use his connection to see Ciara through Allie, he notes that Ciara is on the floor and looks like she’s in pain. Ben asks if she’s hurt. Johnny says no but he thinks she’s in labor and the baby is on her way. Ben argues that the baby isn’t due for a couple more weeks and asks if Allie is with her. Johnny realizes that he’s seeing Ciara through Allie’s eyes. Susan encourages Johnny to keep talking to Allie.

Allie encourages Ciara to keep breathing. Allie starts to hear Johnny’s voice, confusing her. Ciara asks what’s wrong. The Devil starts telling Johnny to get out as Ciara questions what she’s saying.

Johnny falls down and tells Ben and Susan that The Devil figured out what was happening and blocked him out. Ben asks if he saw where they were. Johnny says he couldn’t see much but it looked like a cabin. Ben guesses it’s his cabin where he took Ciara and decides he needs to get there now, so he rushes out of the apartment.

Allie urges Ciara to keep pushing and says she can see the baby’s head. Ciara then successfully gives birth to her baby boy. Allie picks up the baby and says he’s perfect. Ciara asks her to give her baby to her. Ciara then tells Allie to let her have her baby.

Abe tells Julie that even if he does love Paulina, the problem is he can’t trust her because she’s lied to him too many times. Julie admits that is a valid concern as trust is very important, but questions what else Paulina has to lie about. Julie believes Abe knows everything now. Julie states that she loathes TR but he does have certain charms, is a smooth talker, and is sort of a Hollywood player. Julie suggests perhaps Abe doesn’t care to compete with the new kid in town. Abe jokes that she is evil. Julie talks about how it’s okay to throw in the towel because love is a young man’s game.

Paulina wants to call Lani and let her know. TR decides he will call her while Paulina goes to pack. Paulina hopes he’s not totally devastated that she turned down his proposal. TR responds that he’ll get by somehow. After Paulina leaves the room to go pack, TR remarks that he will get that money somehow. Paulina’s phone then rings, so TR answers it assuming it’s Lani but it’s Tripp, who asks if Paulina is there. TR asks Tripp if everything is okay. Tripp says he has good news as Eli just woke up, startling TR.

Lani asks Eli what he means by asking if she’s sure since Beth told her, herself. Eli questions getting shot on the day that he talked to her and asks how it happened. Lani says they don’t have to do this right now but Eli wants to know what happened. Lani responds that what they know is that Eli left Beth at the police station, and she said that he said he’d be right back but didn’t say where he was going or why, and somehow he ended up at the park where a drug dealer ended up shooting him. Eli asks why but Lani says they don’t know. Lani informs him that she and Shawn were first on the scene and the drug dealer Frank had already overdosed and there was a needle by his body and Eli’s gun in his hand. Lani cries that she really thought she was going to lose Eli as she hugs him.

Susan sits Johnny back up as he agrees to try again because he has to get to Allie. Susan encourages that he can do this. Johnny sees Ciara’s baby and that Allie is holding him.

Johnny’s voice urges Allie to fight and not let the Devil hurt Ciara or the baby. Allie screams for him to get out. Ciara questions what’s going on. Allie tells her that everything will be fine soon. Johnny continues to see through Allie’s eyes until she then uses the Devil powers to fight Johnny off again.

Johnny doesn’t know what the Devil did but he doesn’t think they will get back in. Susan says he tried and that’s all that counts. Johnny responds that he did better than try as Allie heard him and told him where they were by looking at a ferry ticket to Smith Island. Johnny realizes they aren’t at Ben’s cabin, they are at the Horton Cabin, so Ben went to the wrong cabin.

Ciara gets up and tells Allie to let her see her baby. Allie welcomes the baby to the world. Ciara repeats to Allie to give her baby to her. Allie turns to her and says no because this is her baby.

Julie brings up when Abe was shot and they were waiting for him outside of his surgery and says Paulina would have done anything on Earth to keep him safe because she loves him fiercely. Julie asks if Abe really wants to let a woman like that slip away. Abe admits he doesn’t want to lose Paulina. Julie encourages him to tell her that he wants her back then. Abe decides that he will, so Julie tells him to go. Abe reminds her that he’s here to pick up the kids. Julie assures they are fine, so he can go to Paulina now. Abe acknowledges that she told him it’s time to get over himself. Julie ask what are friends for. Abe thanks her for the tea as he then exits.

TR is surprised to hear that Eli is awake. Tripp adds that they have every reason to believe he’ll make a full recovery. TR asks if he said anything about what happened to him. Tripp says no as Eli doesn’t seem to remember what happened before the shooting but that is normal with trauma like his. Tripp adds that it’s possible his memory will come back, so they will just have to wait and see. TR thanks Tripp and says he’ll tell Paulina right away. TR then hangs up in frustration. Paulina comes back in and asks if he spoke to Lani. TR lies and claims that he just spoke with Lani, who said it’s a great idea for them to get away for a few days and that she wants Paulina to have the time of her life.

Lani informs Eli that Shawn tried to revive Frank the drug dealer but it was too late, so they had no way of knowing what exactly went down. Eli asks for a picture of Frank, so Lani pulls one up on her phone. Eli says he doesn’t look familiar. Lani questions Eli not remembering why he went to the park. Eli confirms that he doesn’t. Eli then starts to remember fighting over the gun. Lani asks him what it is. Eli tells her that it’s starting to come back to him.

Susan tries to call Ben but it went straight to voicemail. Johnny doesn’t think there is any service at the island. Susan leaves a message for Ben that he went to the wrong cabin and it’s the Horton Cabin on Smith Island. Susan hopes he gets the message.

Ciara questions Allie saying it’s her baby and asks if this is a sick joke as she asks for her baby. Allie responds that she’s sorry but she has other plans for him. Ciara asks what she’s talking about and demands she give her son to her. The Devil then takes over and reveals to Ciara that he’s not Allie. Ciara begins to panic and says it can’t be as she thought he was in Johnny. The Devil talks about having to learn to pivot and this was spur of the moment but inspired. Ciara pleads with the Devil not to do this to an innocent little baby. The Devil declares that no one can stop him now. Allie’s voice from within tries to stop the Devil and says she won’t let him do this.

Lani asks what Eli remembers. Eli recalls struggling with the gun. Lani asks if it was with Frank. Eli says maybe and then remembers further. Eli then comes to a realization as he remembers the moment he was shot. Eli reveals to Lani that it wasn’t Frank who shot him, it was TR.

TR calls on Paulina to get going. Paulina tells him to hold his horses as she hasn’t even finished packing yet. TR argues that it’s just a weekend. TR remarks to himself that she won’t need a lot of clothes where she’s going. Abe then shows up at the door and comes face to face with TR.

Johnny calls Rafe and tells him that they figured out that Allie took Ciara to the Horton Cabin and Ciara has had her baby, so he has to get there right away.

Ben arrives at the Horton Cabin and reunites with Ciara. Ben tells her that she’s okay and mentions almost going to the wrong place. Ben looks around and asks where Allie is. Ciara responds that she’s gone and it wasn’t Allie, it was the Devil. Ciara cries that the Devil took their baby as Ben hugs her.

Young & The Restless Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nick: Hey. Do you want some breakfast?

Sharon: Um, I’m really not all that hungry.

Nick: Well, it’s too late, i already started my famous chocolate chip pancakes. I know you can’t resist those.

Noah: Hey!

Mariah: Hi. Sorry.

Noah: [ Sighs ]

Mariah: How is — how’s mom doing this morning?

Noah: She was still in bed when I left the house. Dad had just gotten there, though, to make her some breakfast. Who knows if she’s actually gonna eat anything, though.

Mariah: Well, did she at least have dinner last night?

Noah: I tried to get her to have something, but I didn’t have much luck. I ran into faith this morning before she went to school, and she, uh — she said she could hear her restlessly wandering around the house again last night.

Mariah: Well, I’m not surprised that she isn’t sleeping, considering everything she’s been through. And this has been hard on all of us, but I guess if — if anyone can get her to eat, it’s nick.

Noah: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, dad has his charms. What are you working on?

Mariah: Oh, I am working on a playlist for the wedding. And you think it would be easy, but it’s actually incredibly difficult. There’s just so many songs that we love.

Noah: Sounds like you could use some help. Should hit up mom to work on it with you. She could use the distraction.

Mariah: I — I doubt that’ll work, but I’ll think about it.

Tessa: Hi. Are you guys ready for some good news?

Mariah: Uh, are we ever.

Tessa: So I just got a call from my sister, and crystal can come to the wedding.

Ashland: Is it okay if I ask you how you’re feeling today?

Victoria: Stronger every day.

[ Sighs ] You know, the human capacity for resilience is nothing short of astounding. You think you’re not gonna make it through something, and then here you are, pouring milk into coffee like nothing ever happened.

Ashland: Well, I know I’m just one of many things that you’re recovering from…the person that hurt you so much. But your fortitude played a large part in my falling in love with you in the first place. I’m just sorry that I’m the reason you have to rely on it so much now. Yeah, don’t — don’t worry about it. I’m actually recovering quite nicely.

Victoria: Oh, yes, I know. You have a knack for miraculous recoveries. What are you still doing here anyway? Don’t tell me you’re planning on staying in town and please don’t tell me you’re harboring some delusion that I’m gonna forgive you.

Ashland: It’s hard for me to let go of that. Almost as hard as pretending the love I still feel for you doesn’t exist.

[ Sighs ] How am I supposed to let that go, huh?

Chloe: [ Sighs ]

Chelsea: Sorry I’m late. I —

[ Sighs ] I was up half the night. Eventually, I drifted off, and then I slept through my alarm. Thank you for getting me my coffee.

Chloe: Yeah, just as requested — an extra shot of espresso.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Boy, did I need this. It’s the only way to get through the day, considering everything we have on our agenda.

[ Sighs ]

Chloe: This is about rey, isn’t it? His death is clearly hitting you harder than you want to admit.

Mariah: Crystal’s coming to the wedding?

Tessa: Isn’t it exciting?

Mariah: Yeah, I mean, I know how much you want your sister to be there, but you’re the one who helped her flee to canada in the first place. I thought you didn’t want her to take the risk.

Tessa: All the charges against crystal have been dropped. And zack’s last known associate in the sex-trafficking ring has been locked up and arrested. Crystal can come and go as she pleases. We don’t have to worry anymore.

Mariah: Is this for real? How did this even happen?

Tessa: Well, not only is crystal safe now, but the way it happened is even more amazing. Want more restful sleep?

Additional sponsorship

Victoria: I’m sure you’ll be able to find a way to let go. It’s what you do best. You’re — you’re the master of reinvention. And now, thanks to my father, you have a tidy little sum of cash so you can facilitate your latest do-over.

Ashland: I don’t have the will or the strength to reinvent myself again.

Victoria: Just stop. Stop. Stop making this so hard on both of us. If you really loved me, then just take your blood money and — and leave town.

Adam: Hey, I can see why you’re making a speedy exit. But we need to talk. Can we meet back at the office?

Victoria: I’m sorry, I don’t have time in my schedule today.

Adam: Okay, surely you can spare a few minutes for me, so just let me know when.

Victoria: If this is about newman, I’ve already made up my mind. I’m appointing my mother as co-ceo and there’s nothing that you can say to change that.

Adam: Really? We can’t even have a conversation about this?

Victoria: I think it would be a waste of time for both of us.

Adam: Well, I wonder what our dad would have to say about this decision.

Victoria: Does it matter what our dad has to say? It’s my decision to make, period.

Chelsea: Of course rey’s death is affecting me. We’ve already discussed this. He had become one of my very close friends.

Chloe: I understand that. I just — I think you need to pull yourself together. Not just for your sake, but for connor’S.

Chelsea: Well, that’s what has me so worried. My son still feels guilt about what happened. And adam and I, we’ve been trying to convince him, you know, “this accident was not your fault, connor.” Rey — I mean, his heart stopped. It would’ve happened no matter where he was.

Chloe: I know. It’s so sad. Nothing would’ve changed the outcome.

Chelsea: You know, in a little boy’s mind, it’s too hard to grasp all that. I think — I think he’s having trouble isolating the guilt he feels from the grief.

Chloe: Oh, poor connor.

Chelsea: I know. I mean, it doesn’t seem rational, but in his mind, you know, all of those events will forever be connected.

Chloe: So how is it affecting his behavior?

Chelsea: Well, he’s not playing hockey anymore. And he used to love it. I think he feels like he doesn’t deserve to play anymore.

Chloe: [ Sighs ] You know, my heart really goes out to the little guy. Kids’ feelings can get so confusing, but maybe this is just him figuring out how to deal with the grieving process.

Chelsea: [ Sighing ] Yeah. I asked noah if he would take him to play at the local rink, you know, try to connect him to the fun again, you know? Remind him rey — rey would want him to play again. He would want him to enjoy the game as a way to — to honor their friendship.

Chloe: Yeah, I think that’s a great idea, and maybe he can figure out how to deal with his own guilt. But how are you dealing with your guilt? Your own sense of loss? I know that you and rey were friends, but your reaction just seems much deeper than that. I mean, how close had you and rey grown before he died?

Nick: You know you’re not fooling me, right? You barely touched your food. You just kind of moved it around the plate. So I’ll make you a deal. If you have just a few more bites, then I’ll clean up that giant mess I made in the kitchen myself.

Sharon: Nick, you don’t have to treat me like I’m one of the kids.

Mariah: Hey. Hi, mom.

Sharon: Hey, you guys. What are the three of you doing here all together? Um, you have strange looks on your faces. Is something wrong?

Noah: No, it’s nothing bad, mom, trust me.

Tessa: No, it’s actually the opposite. I have wonderful news.

Sharon: Well, we could certainly use some of that.

Tessa: Crystal can be the maid of honor at our wedding. She no longer has to worry about the charges against her because they were dropped.

Sharon: Wow, that is fantastic. I mean, that’s great for your sakes and for crystal’S. And what timing. But how?

Tessa: Well, that’s the thing that makes this entire thing a miracle. It was rey. He was instrumental in making it happen. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Sharon: Wait, what do you mean? How was rey involved?

Tessa: Well, according to crystal, he found her case when he was going through cold case files, and then he went to michael and he convinced him that there wasn’t enough evidence for a conviction. And then michael went to the da and got him to drop the charges.

Sharon: That’s amazing. But what about that dangerous group that zack was involved in? Might they still be a threat?

Tessa: That’s the best part. Rey found him and got him arrested, so he’s no threat to crystal and she’s in no danger.

Noah: Did you know rey was working on this, mom?

Mariah: I can tell by your expression that he — he didn’t tell you.

Sharon: No. He didn’T. I had no idea.

Tessa: Maybe he wanted it to be a surprise.

Nick: Or maybe he didn’t say anything ’cause he didn’t want to get everyone’s hopes up in case it didn’t work out.

Sharon: Yeah, that sounds like rey. He was always very protective and cautious about other people’s feelings.

Tessa: But it did work. And now crystal can come out of hiding and be my maid of honor.

Sharon: Even now, rey is here, helping. Looking out for us and protecting us. Tessa, I’m so happy for you. And rey’s last gesture just proves even more profoundly what an amazing man he was.

Ashland: Guess victoria shot us both down, huh? I mean, we — we look a little pathetic, don’t you think? A couple of lap dogs hoping victoria will throw us a bone, give us what we think we deserve.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] I really don’t know what you are talking about.

Ashland: Yeah? I’m just assuming that you think you still deserve to be co-ceo or temporary ceo of newman/locke or whatever fake title it is you — you’re willing to grovel for. But from what I just witnessed, victoria doesn’t seem to be giving you the time of day.

Adam: And clearly you are out of the loop on the latest at your former company. The name locke has been jettisoned, much like you’ve been. It’s all newman now.

Ashland: Well, not all newman. You seem to be having a little trouble holding onto your piece of the pie. Now, I may be out contractually, but I think I know victoria well enough to know that she is not going to let you retain any title or power in her company.

Adam: Aww, apparently, you don’t realize how out of the loop you are. Have you heard who she is replacing you with as new co-ceo?

Ashland: Oh, she’s found someone already.

Adam: Yes. Nikki. So looks like we both got screwed out of that coveted title. But at least I’m still head of the newly expanded newman media, which includes one of your other former companies. Whereas you just have my father’s money to keep you warm.

Nikki: Hello.

Victoria: Do you know anything about this?

Nikki: Your father commissioned it and put a rush on it.

Victoria: Really?

Nikki: Really. We understand why you destroyed the one that ashland had made for you, but we felt that it needed to be replaced. And, darling, he may have broken your heart, but he certainly hasn’t destroyed your spirit or your strength of leadership. And that is exactly what that portrait represents.

Chelsea: Rey and I were just friends. I haven’t tried to hide that, so whatever you’re trying to insinuate is wrong. I mean, of course this affects me deeply. Of course it’s painful. Are you trying to tell me that I’m wrong for feeling that way?

Chloe: No, no, not — not at all. Look, I am — I am not suspicious or judging you in any way. I am just trying to understand your very deep response to all of this. I didn’t realize that you and rey were that close.

Chelsea: Rey was supportive and open-hearted, during a time where he should have hated me. He accompanied me and connor to my mom’s house after I got out of the hospital. When — when I got back to genoa city, he would seek me out just to check in on me. We had deep conversations that encouraged me, inspired me. He bonded with connor. He convinced me that I could turn my life around, that things were gonna get better. He told me I was a good mom, even after all the terrible things I did. Rey…he, um — he gave me hope that I would be accepted again.

Chloe: You should hold on to that.

Chelsea: How can I? His heart attack, this car crash, this one horrible night, this one horrible moment, it just — it rips all of that hope away.

Chloe: I know that — that you keep telling yourself that it was just friendship, but i know you too well. You were falling in love with rey, weren’t you? Life… doesn’t stop for diabetes.

Sharon: Everybody, sit down. Take a seat. I’m really glad that you’re all here because this news about crystal, it just makes something that I’ve been mulling over even more relevant, but I would need all of your help to pull it off.

Nick: Well, we are here for whatever you need.

Noah: Yeah, just name it.

Sharon: Well, I want to hold a memorial service here in genoa city for rey.

Mariah: Yeah, I mean, we can certainly pull something together.

Noah: Yeah, I can work on invitations.

Sharon: Well, I don’t think we’d need anything that formal. I was thinking of just doing something kind of small.

Nick: Sure. When?

Sharon: Well, I would like to do it before I accompany rey to miami.

Mariah: Isn’t — isn’t that tomorrow?

Sharon: That’s why I was hesitant to ask. I’d like to do it today.

Nick: Are you sure you don’t want to wait until after the service in miami?

Sharon: It’s why I couldn’t sleep last night. I was thinking about it the whole time, and don’t get me wrong, I totally understand celeste’s request to bring rey home and I’m absolutely fine with honoring that. But don’t you think that rey’s family here in genoa city should pull together and pay tribute to him as well? Before I have to bring him to his other home? Before I have to bury my husband?

Noah: Mom, are you sure you’re up for this right now?

Sharon: I want to say goodbye in my own way with rey’s friends and family here. I know it’s a lot to ask, but i hope we can pull it off today.

Nick: Absolutely. I think this’ll be good for you and for all of us.

Chelsea: I wasn’t in love with rey. Why would you even think that? He was quite happily married to sharon. In fact, it was his loyalty and dedication that made him such a trustworthy and safe friend.

Chloe: I said “falling in love.” I meant feelings, not actions, and I wasn’t accusing you of anything.

Chelsea: Well, it feels like you’re reading into the motives behind my grief, and quite frankly, I don’t want to talk about this anymore.

Chloe: Okay, okay, let’s — let’s change the subject. This was supposed to be a breakfast meeting anyway.

Chelsea: Yeah, and we need to work on these projections if we’re gonna show them to lauren.

[ Sighs ] I mean, the good thing about me not getting any sleep is I was able to come up with a few more sketches. So what do you think about this?

Chloe: Yeah, that’s — that’s different. Love the neckline.

Victoria: The portrait is — it’s lovely, mom, but I’m surprised that dad would do something like this for me after he was so determined to shove adam down my throat as co-ceo. Basically saying that he had lost confidence in me after what happened with ashland.

Nikki: That is not true. Actually, he has accepted the idea of my taking the position.

Victoria: Really?

Nikki: Yes. I mean, he’s still disappointed that the antagonism between you and adam still exists, but he made it very clear that he would support your decision.

Victoria: I — I didn’t expect that. I made it perfectly clear to adam that it was my decision to make, but [Exhales sharply] I expected some kind of pushback.

Nikki: Darling, you have been through so much lately. Your father wanting you to bring in a co-ceo has nothing to do with a lack of confidence. It has to do with giving you the time and space to heal from everything that has happened. Believe me, your father has not lost faith in you at all.

Ashland: I stand by my original comparison. Victoria rejected us both.

Adam: Don’t try to compare us. You broke her spirit.

Ashland: By signing a deal you brought to me behind her back.

Adam: Look, you are never gonna cleanse your actions in her mind and her heart. So you should just give up trying.

Nick: What the hell?

Sharon: Is there a problem?

Nick: Uh, I just got a text from ashland. I can’t imagine why he would want to see me, and I’m not particularly interested in finding out.

Sharon: Well, maybe you should find out, at least for victoria’s sake.

Nick: No, planning rey’s memorial is far more important than anything this guy has to say. Plus, I don’t even know why he’s still in town or why he would reach out to anyone in the newman family.

Sharon: I think you should find out what he wants. And I’d rather you just go and get it over with so that you can come back here and be with us and you won’t have this question gnawing at you.

Tessa: We got this. We can get it all organized.

Sharon: You were such a big help to me this morning, and i have the kids here with me now. I’m fine. Nope

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Chloe: Okay, I’ll put these numbers together and the projected schedule for a meeting with lauren.

Chelsea: Look at him. Alive and well while a good man like rey is gone.

Chloe: You cannot blame him and victoria for what happened that night.

Chelsea: But I can’t help but wonder — did he even try to go back for rey? You know, the news reports make him sound like a hero for pulling victoria from the burning car. Did he even try to help rey? Maybe he could’ve done cpr. Maybe he could’ve saved his life.

Chloe: Stop it, chelsea. Stop it. You are fixating on what happened that night.

Chelsea: You’re making it sound like I’m obsessing over this.

Ashland: Hello, nick. Thank you for getting here so quickly.

Nick: Well, I’m here in case there’s anything else I need to do to protect my sister or family from you.

Ashland: You really expect the worst of me, don’t you?

Nick: Actually, I think I’d prefer it if you dealt with me from now on instead of upsetting my sister more than you already have.

Ashland: Well, I can assure you there’s no reason for you to be so defensive. What I have to offer is of great importance and benefit to you, no strings attached.

Chloe: Relax, chelsea. I wasn’t trying to diagnose your behavior, but I — I do recognize the warning signs of when you’re starting to go over the edge.

Chelsea: You think I’m losing it?

Chloe: Everything that you’re experiencing is completely natural, considering how overtired you are and — and the grief that you’re having. Look, I’m just simply trying to point it out and interrupt the unhealthy cycle of blame before it goes any further.

Chelsea: You’re right. You’re right. I’ve been functioning on way too little sleep lately.

[ Sighs ] I think, if you don’t mind, i might go back to my room and try to get some rest. I want to be at my best when we present to lauren later.

Chloe: I think that’s a really good idea.

Chelsea: Okay.

Ashland: I would like to make a donation to new hope. One half of the money I received from your father from the agreement. You can use it to build houses or help centers. Whatever else you think the community needs.

Nick: So you are offering me $250 million with no strings attached. Can you understand why that would be difficult to believe?

Ashland: It is a real offer for a real donation.

Nick: You think this buys you some kind of absolution? You can go straight to hell. New hope doesn’t need your blood money.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] Are you really so stubborn, so proud that you would turn your back on a quarter of a billion dollars? Just think about all the good that new hope can do with that kind of money. I am offering it to you and asking nothing in return. Only one caveat.

Nick: Here we go.

Ashland: I would ask that all the work be done in the name of detective rey rosales. I’m ready to transfer the money to the new hope account right now. You just give me the word.

It’s the most wonderful

time of the year

Nick: You don’t know me. I don’t respond well to bribery and I certainly don’t like dealing with people like you.

Ashland: You shouldn’t say no out of animosity toward me. At the very least, think about the offer.

Nick: See, whether you admit it or not, you’re hoping for some kind of redemption out of this, and I just don’t think the trade-off is worth the risk.

Ashland: So you would prioritize your hatred of me over the needs of your own organization?

Nick: [ Sighs ] You’re good. See, you know that if I turn this down, this community of need badly misses out, but if i accept it, then I’m complicit in your attempts to absolve yourself. It’s clever.

Ashland: Again, think about it.

Mariah: Thanks.

Sharon: The church is available to host a small service this afternoon.

Mariah: That’s perfect, and it even gives us time to get some refreshments, you know, to have here afterward.

Tessa: Yeah, mariah and I can take care of that.

Sharon: Um, I need to let faith know. I don’t want her to be thrown when she comes home from school.

Noah: I already texted her. She thinks it’s a great idea.

Sharon: And I think we should let chance and abby know.

Mariah: I can make up a simple program, so what kind of service do you think you want to have?

Sharon: Um…well, I’ve been thinking about what rey would want. Just something casual and loving, celebrating his wonderful life. Nothing formal or sad, just quietly joyful and, you know, that was the kind of man he was, after all. I want to do something that captures his spirit.

Mariah: We can absolutely make that happen.

Sharon: Tessa, would you sing one of rey’s favorite songs?

Tessa: I would be delighted.

Noah: And I could put together some family photos for a slide show.

Sharon: Yes, that would be lovely.

Mariah: And, mom, how do you feel — do you feel like you want to say a few words?

Sharon: Um…I don’t know if I’m ready to speak publicly about rey yet. Is that terrible? Maybe this is too soon.

Mariah: Mom, mom, it’s fine. You don’t have to.

Noah: Mom, no one is expecting anything of you, okay? One time I went to this service, and they set aside a time for quiet contemplation. If anyone was feeling compelled to speak, then they could. So there’s no pressure. You can share a spontaneous memory, good times, or, you know, just reflect on who that person was.

Sharon: That’s really beautiful. I love that, noah. And rey would really love that, too.

[ Sighs ] I’m so lucky that I have all of you here to support me when i need you the most, and I know that I am blessed to have such a strong and loving and talented family to support me at every turn.

Nikki: Nicholas, what brings you by?

Nick: You’re never gonna believe this one.

Victoria: What? What’s happened?

Nick: Ashland has gotten so desperate, he is trying to buy back his forgiveness by donating half of the money dad gave him.

Victoria: Donate? Where?

Nick: To new hope. And he said the money comes without any strings attached. But honestly, who’s gonna believe a world-class liar like him?

Victoria: Well, I mean, that’s a surprising move. What are the details?

Nick: Well, on the surface, it’s pretty simple. He is allegedly going to wire $250 million into a new hope account, which we can then use to build housing or support programs.

Nikki: Don’t tell me he wants to put his name on those buildings. That would be the most self-serving thing I’ve ever heard.

Nick: Well, here’s the ultimate chess move — he wants it done in the name of rey rosales.

Nikki: Oh, my god. How dare he take advantage of rey’s death to try to clear his name.

Nick: Which is why I want to walk away from this and tell him no. Ashland needs to see that he cannot just buy his way back into everyone’s good graces.

Nikki: Victoria, you’re awfully quiet. What do you think of this?

Victoria: I think it’s obvious. Nick needs to take every penny of that money. Facing expensive vitamin c creams with dull results?

Nick: Vick, come on. Don’t tell me you’re falling for this. He’s just trying to chip away at your resolve. Now he’s trying to seem compassionate? It’s a joke.

Victoria: Of course it is. But why not? Why not let ashland try to buy his absolution? Why not use some of that money and put it towards something good?

Nick: Everything he’s doing is to try and win back your forgiveness.

Victoria: Exactly. So let him try, because it’s never gonna happen. Not in a million years.

Nikki: Victoria, are you sure about that?

Victoria: I am more certain about that than I am about anything.

Nick: I mean, new hope’s mission is to help others, to try and change their lives. I can’t take his dirty money.

Victoria: Then think about the end game. Ignore ashland’s motives. Think about the good that that money will do in rey’s name. Isn’t that worth it?

Tessa: I still can’t believe that he’s gone.

Mariah: I know. I know, I’m just still trying to embrace the idea that we’re moving forward with this wedding when we’re still so devastated about losing rey.

Tessa: I am grateful that we get to be there for sharon during this awful time and that she asked for our help and told us what she needed.

Mariah: Yeah, at least we’re not standing around, feeling helpless. My mom said that this memorial is her way of saying goodbye and starting the process of letting go.

Tessa: I think we should take her at her word.

[ Rustling ]

Sharon: Rey. Rey.

[ Sighs ] I miss you so much. I feel you everywhere in our home. Your spirit still lives in every room here. You know, when I come home and i come to the door, I — I expect to find you here waiting for me, and when I hear a noise upstairs, I think it’s you, moving around. I think you’re there getting ready for work, and then… and then I remember. And then it hits me all over again. Everything here reminds me of you. Your coffee cup is still sitting by the kitchen sink where you left it the last morning you were here, and I…I can’t bring myself to put it away. I hope you didn’t suffer. I hope you weren’t in any pain. And I hope you know how loved you were.

Are. Always. And I know your spirit’s always gonna be with me…protecting me. You know, I can just see you smiling at how happy tessa was about crystal. And now I know why you were so disinterested in my obsession with finding the perfect wedding gift, because you already had something in the works. And I can’t believe you didn’t breathe a word of that to me.

[ Sighs ] You know, I should be mad at you for keeping that secret. But I can’T. I mean, I can never be mad at you again.

[ Sighs ] “Stop it — stop it, sharon. Stop it.”

[ Sighs ] At least that’s what you would tell me. You gave me so many pep talks when I was sick. Who am I gonna turn to now? I don’t know how I’m gonna manage without you.

[ Sniffles ] My precious husband. Somehow I’m gonna find a way.

Proofread by Anita

Sonny: Chet. Long time, no see.

Chet: Good to see you, Mr. Corinthos. Thank you again for the time off.

Sonny: How’d the trip to the Middle East go?

Chet: Oh, [Sighs] It was, uh — it was incredible. I wasn’t really sure how I’d feel being back in the country, but bringing those supplies to the nonprofit and sharing my story with the other wounded vets — I don’t know — it gave me a sense of closure I didn’t realize I needed.

Sonny: I’m glad the trip made a difference. You — you’re helping a lot of people.

Chet: Yeah, well, I tried.

And I’m also glad you’re back.

Yeah, well, I’m glad to be back. Turns out, I have a lot to look forward to now that I’m home.


Terry: What’s more date-worthy, biz — red or sparkly?

Elizabeth: Is this why you insisted I come with you — color consultation?

Terry: Uh, we needed a girls’ outing. You’ve been working too much.

Elizabeth: I’m trying to save up so Cameron can live in the dorms instead of semi-permanently crashing with friends. Getting my nails done is not a luxury I can afford.

Terry: No worries. It’s my treat.

Elizabeth: And normally I wouldn’t worry, except you never want anyone to come with you to the nail salon. This is your meditative time.

Terry: Well, after meditating on it, I’ve decided it’s time for a new tradition.

Elizabeth: Terry, what’s really going on? Uh…you know, there’s paraffin treatments in there.

Terry: [ Sighs ] Fine. Alright. I do have something to confess, and you’re not gonna like it.


[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Telephones ringing in distance ]

Britt: Heard it was a rough night.

TJ: I lost my first patient.

Britt: Always tough.

TJ: She wasn’t exactly a stranger. I mean, Harmony miller may have been bad news, but telling her daughter, “So sorry. We — we did everything we could” — it was… it was worse than I could ever imagine.

Britt: And did you? Do everything you could?

TJ: And we did.

Britt: Then you’re good.

TJ: Doesn’t feel that way.

Britt: [ Sighs ] Nothing prepares you for that first one.


Brook Lynn: I’m so sorry about Willow’s mom.

Michael: Thanks. I’ll, uh — I’ll tell Willow when she wakes up.

Brook Lynn: Thanks. And, Carly, I — I can’t even imagine.

Carly: Oh, that was rough. But I’m okay.

Brook Lynn: Never had any doubts. I’ll see you later, sweetie. Bye.

Carly: [ Laughs ]

[ Wind rushing ]

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Brook Lynn: Oh. Oh, my god. It is so good to hear your voice. After the day I’ve had, and it’s only noon.

Chase: What’s going on? Are you okay?

Brook Lynn: Just too much reality. I need a fantasy fix. We’re still on for the screening later, right?

Chase: [ Gasps ] Oh, it’s, uh, May the 4th.

Brook Lynn: Last I checked. Did you forget?

Chase: Oh, it’s just we got those tickets ages ago and, uh… I have another commitment.

Brook Lynn: [ Scoffs ] Like what, a date?

Chase: Yes, actually. And I’m pretty sure her dad doesn’t let her watch PG movies. I’ll talk to you later.

Violet: Pink or purple?


Michael: Yeah, Willow was so exhausted last night. I was, uh — I was worried she was gonna be too upset to sleep, but she sat on the bed to take her shoes off. By the time I turned back around, she was already asleep with her clothes still on.

Carly: Well, it’s a good thing that Willow’s getting some rest. She’s gonna need her strength with what’s to come.


Chet: How’d my temporary replacement do?

Sonny: Uh, Dex? Um, I-I only met him briefly. He’s — you know, he seemed capable.

Chet: Good. Well, I took a chance on him because he’s a fellow vet and he had experience in gym management, so I just…

Sonny: Yeah.

Chet: I just hope he met your expectations.

Sonny: Well, the — the transition was seamless. And the staff, no complaints.

Chet: Well, as long as he wasn’t better at my job than I am.

Sonny: No, no danger to that.[ Laughs ]

Dante: Hey, Chet.

Chet: Hey.

Dante: Good to see you back, man.

Chet: Yeah, thanks.

Sonny: You’re here early. I am, yeah.

Dante: I, uh — I left you a message.

Sonny: Ah, well, I was gonna call you. What’s up?

Dante; You haven’t heard?

Chet: Uh, first day. I’m going to go take care of the handoff.

Sonny: Yeah. What’s going on?

Dante: Carly and Alexis were attacked last night.


Chase: Ooh, it’s so hard to choose.

Violet: Last time, you wore pink.

Chase: Right, because I thought you preferred purple. I do, but when it’s on my head, I can’t see it. That’s why daddy usually picks purple.

Chase: Oh. Speaking of, your dad called me this morning, and he said he’s so excited to see you tonight, and then he blew you a big kiss, like this. Mwah!

Violet: [ Giggles ] You’re gonna have to call him back so you can blow him a kiss from me.

Chase: Or you could do it yourself.

Violet: That’s true.

Chase: Do you know what else is true? With your dad away, we could spend the whole day together. What do you want to do?

Violet: Tea party.

Chase: That’s an option. Or we could take a walk in the park, see the ducks in the lake.

Violet: Hm. Tea party.

Chase: Or we could go to the aquarium. I bet they have purple fish and all the sea creatures there.

Violet: Tea par-ty.

Chase: That’s three tea parties in less than 24 hours, Violet.

Violet: You can never have too many tea parties.

Chase: Noted.


Terry: Today’s mani-pedi is actually being underwritten by a generous benefactor, one who’s concerned about the amount of stress you’ve been under.

Elizabeth: Ah. Okay, thank you for telling me. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go kill Finn.

Terry: Hey, hey, hey. Can you kill him after you get your nails done? You need this.

Elizabeth: One afternoon is not going to make me forget everything that’s going on.

Terry: And what exactly is “everything”? You’ve been tired, irritable. And the fact that Finn asked me to take you on this little outing only confirms that things are bigger than you’ve told me.

Elizabeth: I can handle it.

Terry: Right, so who done it, then, hmm? Who slashed your dress and stashed your wedding ring in your locker? Who burned down Franco’s studio, took his portrait of you, and left it at your house? If you’re handling it, you must know, then.

Elizabeth: I don’t enjoy you when you’re like this.

Terry: And yet you should be used to it by now. Come on. Enough with the silence and pretense. You’re telling me everything.

Elizabeth: Okay. Okay.

Terry: And don’t forget, I’ve known you longer than anyone, so don’t even think about holding back, because I’ll know.


Britt: As much as I hate to say this, Harmony Miller is only the first of many.

TJ: Patients I’ll lose in the future? [ Sighs ] Can’t wait.

Britt: It may not be comforting, but it’s the truth. [ Sighs ]

[ Cup taps lightly ]

Britt: How are you doing?

Amy: Dr. Westbourne! Hi, Dr. Ashford. Dr. Westbourne.

Britt: Hi, Nurse Driscoll. Is there something I can do for you?

Amy: Yes, at least I hope so. I agreed to work a double, but I’m not feeling well, so I was hoping…

Britt: Did you check with Epiphany?

Amy: She said it’s okay with her if it’s okay with you. And I just conducted my final patient rounds, and the beds on the floor and in the er are at below half capacity.

Britt: Okay, off you go. [ Chuckles ] Feel better. [ Sighs ] Okay. Where were we?

TJ: Uh, how — how am I doing? Y-you know, I did — I did everything I could to save my patient, and I still lost her, so I feel — I-I feel helpless, useless, defeated. You know, part of me wants to scream and — and throw my coffee against the wall. I just…

Britt: Well, TJ, you are a doctor, and this is a hospital. There are plenty of fantastic places to scream if you muffle the noise. [ Chuckles ]

TJ: [ Sighs ]

Britt: Try a few and pick your favorite.

TJ: I’ll do that. Thank you.


Dante: Uh, Carly and Alexis, they’re at home recovering, but, you know, they’re — they’re pretty rattled.

Sonny: Harmony — where is she now?

Dante: She’s dead.

Sonny: Dead? How?

Dante: She tried to make a getaway on foot and a car hit her. That’s all I can tell you right now.

Sonny: Okay. I gotta call Carly.

Dante: What’s the matter?

Sonny: No, it’s just — there was just a time when Carly would — would have called me for something like this, or the hospital would have contacted me as next of kin. But now that, you know, in the eyes of the law, we’re not family anymore, so…

Dante: Well, you know, families aren’t made and broken with emergency contact information.

Sonny: But they’re all — it’s family. There should always be, you know, trust. Care. I’m always gonna care for Carly the rest of my life. But now, you know, she just doesn’t want anything to do with me.


Carly: Keep that up, you’re going to wear a groove in the floor.

Michael: Yeah, I know, I’m just — I’m just still reeling about what happened. I mean, Willow was just starting to regain trust with Harmony, and now she has to deal with this?

Wiley: What about grandma Harmony?

Michael: Um…

Carly: What color do you want to color the car?

Wiley: Uh, blue.

Carly: Blue it is. Get going, alright? Um… you’re going to have to watch it.

Michael: I know. It’s — I-I just — I-I don’t understand what led Harmony to do what she did at Rana Point. I don’t, but… the police are investigating. That means this is gonna go public. Yeah. And the press is going to jump all over it. I know. I managed to stall Aurora’s digital press, but I can’t control all media. Eventually, this is going to come out, and I just don’t know how to protect Willow from the fallout.


Violet: How were the refreshments, Princess Brandywine?

Chase: [ Clears throat ] [ British accent ] Why, Lady Honeycutt, I do believe these are the finest scones I’ve ever had the good fortune to nibble on.

Violet: Why, thank you.

[ Knock on door ]

Chase: [ Normal voice ] Whoever you are, I owe you.

[ Lightsabers activate ]

Brook Lynn: [Laughing] May the 4th be with you.

Chase: I know, I know.

Brook Lynn: Ah! Tell me, young Skywalker, is that a Jedi tiara or a Sith tiara, hmm?

Violet: Uncle Chase is Princess Brandywine.

Chase: Ah. Yes, uh… Lady Honeycutt speaks the truth. [ British accent ] I am Princess Brandywine.

Brook Lynn: [ Laughs ] Well, then, call me Han Solo because I arrived in the nick of time.


Elizabeth: So now the boys and I are living apart. Aiden’s discussing Ouija boards with Lucy Coe, and I can’t even escape this menace in a hotel room. And that brings us to now.

Terry: Oh, my god, biz. I can’t believe you’ve been dealing with all this. You should have told me.

Elizabeth: [ Sighs ] I mean, the police are on the case, and Finn’s been really supportive. What more could you have done besides worry?

Terry: Offer my support? Someone to vent to? My home?

Elizabeth: Finn offered his home as well, but whatever this is, it followed me to the metro court. I don’t want it following me to your house.

Terry: Wait, “whatever” this is? Don’t you mean “whoever”?

Elizabeth: Aiden believes it’s franco’s ghost. And do you actually think he’s right? That you’re being stalked by franco’s ghost?

[ Door opens, closes ]

Elizabeth: Amy.


Dante: Look, you won’t know if Carly wants you to check in with her unless you reach out.

Sonny: Someone tries to kill Carly — she doesn’t reach out to me? Same thing with Michael? That sends a message. They don’t want anything to do with me.

Dante: What message? What do you — maybe they’re just catching their breath…

Sonny: Okay.

Dante: …Right now.

Sonny: Alright.

Dante: Come on.

Sonny: No, I’m just saying.

Dante: Look, last night was a crazy night. Alexis and Carly were still being treated when Harmony was brought in. I mean, it — we’re all still just trying to pick up the pieces of what happened. And then Michael, he was worried a-about Carly and Willow and maybe just too distracted to contact you, even if he thought about it. Even if he wanted to. I don’t know.

Sonny: Michael didn’t want to, but that’s his choice.

Dante: [ Sighs ] I guess so.

Sonny: Yeah.

Dante: You taking care of yourself?

Sonny: Uh… of course I am.

Dante: You lost your best friend, your wife, and now son.

Sonny: Thanks for reminding me.

Dante: Well, I’m not trying to remind you — I’m just trying to make you see that you’re getting more and more isolated, and sometimes, when that happens, we both know you can get vulnerable.


Michael: There’s just one thing I don’t understand about all this.

Carly: Just one?

Michael: As crazy as what, uh, Harm– actually, let’s — let’s go over here. As crazy as what Harmony did at Rana Point, I mean, what pushed her that far? I mean, she seemed like she was in a good place. She was rebuilding with Willow. And what she tried to do, it — it — it was so outrageous that it was guaranteed to fail — I mean, thank God, but she must’ve known that. So why jeopardize her relationship with Willow?

Carly: And this little guy.

Michael: Exactly. She was obviously desperate, and then… [ Scoffs ] I probably didn’t help that.


Sonny: You saying I’m vulnerable or my business is vulnerable? What are you — I don’t — I’m not sure what you’re trying to say.

Dante: Well, I can’t speak to your business for obvious reasons, but as your son right now, I’m just saying that I’m concerned. I don’t want you to start drinking again or get off your meds.

Sonny: Well, you’re not wrong, and I appreciate your concern.

Dante: Okay.

Sonny: But I got it handled.

Dante: On the drinking or the meds?

Sonny: Both.

Dante: Alright. [ Clears throat ] What about the loneliness? You got that handled, too?

Sonny: You know, let me just say this — you don’t have to worry about me. [ Breathing sharply ]

Dante: Alright. Good enough. I gotta go to the Quartermaines’ and talk to Willow, alright?

Sonny: Alright.

Dante: See you around.

Sonny: Alright, see you later.


TJ: I almost wish I could compartmentalize my emotions.

Britt: No chief wants robots populating their staff.

TJ: You don’t want doctors lined up outside the call room, taking turns having a good cry, right?

Britt: I don’t know. Sounds pretty good to me.

Mm.

[ Telephones ringing in distance ]

Britt: It wasn’t that long ago I had to deliver devastating news to new parents.

TJ: Brando and Sasha?

Britt: [ Sighs ] Feeling too much and feeling too little, both have their drawbacks. But given the choice, I want medical professionals who treat patients using their heart as well as their head.

TJ: My — my favorite professor always said that good doctoring comes from good listening, and good listening can’t always be taught.

Britt: It’s also not billable.

TJ: [ Chuckles ] Yeah.

Britt: The trick is to combine compassion with efficient care.

TJ: You make that sound really easy.

Britt: Oh, no, it — it’s not. [ Laughs ] But it is doable. Tell me, TJ, what kind of doctor do you want to be?


Elizabeth: Amy, come join us.

Amy: Uh, I’m here for a manicure, not a pedicure, but thanks.

Terry: I thought you were working a double.

Amy: I was, but I wasn’t feeling well after last night.

Terry: Were you prescribed a cuticle trim?

Amy: I’ll find another salon.

Elizabeth: No, no, no, no. You don’t have to do that. We can save shoptalk for when we get back to work. Okay?

Amy: No, not okay. Dr. Randolph, why are you always picking on me lately? We’re not even at the hospital and you’re getting all up in my business.

Terry: Because, to the best of my knowledge, you’re supposed to be at the hospital.

Amy: Dr. Ashford lost his first patient last night. I was working with him. We couldn’t save her. It got to me.

Terry: I’m sorry to hear that.

Amy: Thank you.

Terry: And I have my job to do.

Amy: Well, I don’t like the way you’re doing it, and I’m probably not the only one.

Terry: Which is why staff are given the opportunity to evaluate hospital leadership quarterly.

Amy: Well, I may forgo that and march straight to Monica.

Terry: Knock yourself out, Amy. We’re done.

Elizabeth: Hey, Amy, I understand that you’re upset, but let’s all just take a deep breath, you guys.

Terry: It’s fine, Elizabeth. Amy’s entitled to her anger.

Amy: Oh, gee, thank you.

Terry: You’re also entitled to file a formal complaint with the board. What you’re not entitled to do is try to ruin my day off.

Amy: [ Scoffs ]

Elizabeth: Finn was right. It’s definitely got my mind off of my problems.


Chase: You are so my hero.

Brook Lynn: [ Sighs ]

Chase: Did you pick these up on the way over?

Brook Lynn: Are you kidding? All the good lightsabers are gone by the end of April. My dad actually got these a while back for Rocco and Leo. Since you couldn’t go to “Star Wars,” I thought I’d bring “Star Wars” to you.

[ Lightsabers whirring ]

Chase: I glad you remembered.

Brook Lynn: Of course I remembered.

Chase: Why “of course”? Well, it’s a very important day in this galaxy, and it’s really important to you.

Violet: Uncle Chase, come sword fight with me.

Brook Lynn: You heard the princess.

Chase: Hey, that is mine. Well… okay, Violet, first of all, this is called a lightsaber, and it is the ancient and sacred weapon of the warriors known as the Jedi. Wah!

[ Lightsabers bleeping ]

Chase: Unh! Wsssh! Aaah!


Michael: I was always so guarded with Harmony, and she felt it. You know, maybe if I was more accepting, she would have been honest.

Carly: Stop that. No one made Harmony do what she did. She made the choice to hurt people.

[ Knock on door ]

Michael: [ Sighs ] Hey, Dante.

Dante: Hey, everybody.

Wiley: Hi, Uncle Dante.

[ Door closes ]

Dante: Hey, pal, how you doing?

Carly: So, are you here to see Willow?

Dante: Yeah. Is she resting? If so, I can come back another time.

Carly: Oh.

Michael: Hey, bud, your mom’s awake. She could use a hug.

Carly: Willow, what can we do for you?

Willow: Hugs help.

Carly: Well, then I’m next in line. [ Chuckles ]

Willow: Aww.

Carly: Oh, I’m so sorry. Alright, why don’t I take this little guy up to the main house, alright? And I’ll be right back. Come on. Let’s go get some yummy snacks in the big house.

Michael: How you holding up?

[ Door closes ]

Willow: Last night was…

Michael: Overwhelming?

Dante: Hey, Willow, um… I do have more information for you, if you feel like you’re ready for it.


Chet: Mr. Corinthos, if you have a minute, Dex would like to say goodbye. It’s his, uh, last day here.

Dex: Thank you for the opportunity, Mr. Corinthos. I hope my work was satisfactory.

Sonny: Listen, if — if I ever need anybody to replace Chet, I’ll give you a call. What’s next for you?

Dex: Not sure. Ideally, I’d love to stay on here in some other capacity.

Chet: Well, I wish we had a more permanent position for you at the gym, but we’re fully staffed.

Dex: Till something opens up, I’m — I’m more than happy to scrub floors, fix equipment, wash towels. I mean, no job is too big or small. I’m just asking for a chance.


Elizabeth: Since when is there friction between you and Amy?

Terry: I’ve had to call her out a few times. Nurse Driscoll thinks it’s personal, but it really isn’t. I shouldn’t lose my temper. It’s unprofessional. And even worse, it causes frown lines.

Elizabeth: Well, then, let’s talk about something that makes you smile, like your secret “lovah.”

Terry: Uh, he is not my “lovah.” And it’s not a secret, I just don’t want to jinx it.

Elizabeth: [ Sighs ] If not his name, give me something.

Terry: He’s funny and handsome, a real gentleman, and he looks great in a t-shirt. [ Chuckles ]

Elizabeth: Go on.

Terry: I met him a few months ago. We had a drink on Valentine’s, and then he had to leave town.

Elizabeth: Oh, well, that’s not a good sign.

Terry: We kept in touch. And, my god, Biz, the man gives great text.

Elizabeth: Oh, gee. Sounds like you’re in trouble.

Terry: [ Laughs ] Hey, speaking of trouble, are you gonna be okay at the hotel tonight?

[ Water bubbling ]

Elizabeth: I just forgot to latch the door. It’s not gonna happen again.

Terry: Did you at least call hotel security?

Elizabeth: [ Sighs ] Hotel security, the police, and nothing seems to help. I don’t know, maybe nothing can.

Terry: The ghost theory.

Elizabeth: I know you’re a woman of science, and so am I. But at this point, I’m willing to try everything.

Terry: Whatever eases your mind.

Elizabeth: Great. So will you go someplace with me later this week?

Terry: Can you be more specific?

Elizabeth: Why? You already trust me. You don’t need to know.

Terry: Unfortunately, that’s true.

Elizabeth: Great. But right now, I need to get back to work, and you need to prep for your hot date.

Terry: Mm. [ Chuckles ]


Brook Lynn: Mmm, my word, Lady Honeycutt, this tea is delicious.

Violet: Thank you, Queen Marshmallow.

Brook Lynn: [ Laughs ] Please tell me you have something strong and real to put in these cups.

Chase: Oh, now you know my pain.

Brook Lynn: [ Chuckles ]

Violet: The tea is orange spice, daddy’s favorite.

Brook Lynn: Oh. Is daddy working today?

Violet: He had an emergency at the hospital. He is saving lives.

Brook Lynn: I know. Finn helps a lot of people.

Violet: Chase helps a lot of people, too.

Brook Lynn: Right, police officers certainly help people, and your Uncle Chase is one of the best.

Chase: I miss it.

Brook Lynn: It’s just a few more weeks. [ Clears throat ] You hear that, Violet? Your Uncle Chase is gonna be back to saving the galaxy very soon, just like Luke — Luke…

Chase: Skywalker?

Brook Lynn: Right. Skywalker. How could I forget?

Chase: It’s too bad we’re not going to the movie tonight. You could use a refresher.

Brook Lynn: Well, maybe we can have a private screening someday soon.


TJ: I want to be the kind of doctor that — that people are happy to see again. And I want them to trust me, to know that I will move heaven and earth for them. And — and to be the kind of doctor that can provide solace when healing is impossible.

Britt: And how’s that going for you so far?

TJ: I did all I could to save Harmony. But when I had to break the news to her daughter last night, every bit of confidence, all of my training went out the window, and I felt completely out of my depth.

Britt: Well, Dr. Ashford, congratulations. You’re still human. [ Chuckles ] But you can’t tell when the losses are gonna hit. You could go a whole year without one.

TJ: Mm.

Britt: And then you could have three in one hour.

TJ: Damn.

Britt: You may need to learn not to internalize every loss. I mean, that is — that takes a toll.

TJ: What do you suggest?

Britt: Self-care. I-I know it’s an overused, crunchy granola term these days, but the whole concept of putting an oxygen mask on first on an airplane — you have to take care of you first. I know it sounds selfish, but it’s the first step in helping others.

TJ: I-I will remember that, but do you have any recommendations or suggestions for self-care?

Britt: Uh, I mean, find something that brings you peace. For some people, it’s exercise and therapy — for others, it’s a hobby or spending time with loved ones. You’ve been here all night, right?

TJ: And I still have all day.

Britt: While you were worrying about Willow’s family, have you had time to check in on your own? How’s Molly doing after her mom was attacked?

TJ: I spoke with her briefly, and — and she’s upset, of course, but, you know, she’s Molly.

Britt: I don’t know what that means.

[ Both laugh ]

TJ: Okay. Not only is she holding it together, but she’s holding everyone together.

Britt: That sounds rough. It’s a lot. You’ve had a rough night. Just say the word, and I can have you covered.

TJ: You mean…?

Britt: I mean, I’m saying you can go home. [ Laughs ] This is the time, TJ, in the beginning of your career where you have to determine what matters most to you and make it a priority. Otherwise, you can count on having many more dark, lonely nights of the soul. [ Sighs ]


Dante: Uh, you want to sit down? Uh, officially, I’m here to update you on our investigation.

Willow: And unofficially? Well, unofficially, um…

[ Door opens ]

Carly: Hey. Okay. What’d I miss?

Michael: We just got started.

Carly: Oh.

Dante: Unofficially, I’m here as family.

Willow: Thank you. But please just tell me why my mother tried to kill Carly and Alexis last night.

Carly: At Alexis’s house, I found papers that implicated Harmony in a crime, and to stop me from exposing it, Harmony attacked me and drugged me.

Willow: I know all that. What I don’t know is why. What was my mother trying to hide?

Dante: Harmony had killed before.


Violet: Thank you for making my tea party such a delightful occasion.

Brook Lynn: Mm.

Violet: I’m gonna go clean this up now. Don’t have any fun without me.

Chase: [ Laughs ]

Brook Lynn: [ Chuckles ] Aww, Violet wanted to clean up by herself? I’ll never be able to raise a kid who’s half as well-mannered as her.

Chase: Are you kidding me? You’re gonna be a great mom.

Brook Lynn: I don’t know.

Chase: I’ve seen you in action, remember?

Brook Lynn: [ Sighs ]

Chase: Uh, how’s Leo? Is he feeling any better about his upcoming performance?

Brook Lynn: He’s still nervous, but you definitely helped.

Chase: I think we helped. We make a good team.

Brook Lynn: But there’s only so much we could do. I mean, drama therapy is definitely helping, but stage fright is very, very real.

Chase: Even when you’re not the one performing?

Brook Lynn: [ Sighs ]

Chase: Have you written any songs lately?

Brook Lynn: Nope. [ Scoffs ]

Chase: You are a gifted songwriter, Brook Lynn.

Brook Lynn: I-I used to be. I mean, what if my new stuff isn’t — what if it isn’t… [ Sighs ]

Chase: There’s only one way to find out.

Brook Lynn: [ Scoffs ]

Chase: I get it, you know.

Brook Lynn: Really?

Chase: Sure. I haven’t done my job in so long. I mean, what if I can’t remember how to do it?

Brook Lynn: You’re a pro. It’ll be like riding a bike.

Chase: If you can have this much faith in me, why can’t you do the same for yourself?


Terry: [ Laughs ]

Elizabeth: Well, thanks for our girls’ outing.

Terry: Make sure you thank Finn, too.

Elizabeth Ohh.

Terry: Preferably before you kill him for being considerate of your feelings.

Elizabeth: [ Laughs ]

Terry: He should know by now how much kindness annoys you.

Elizabeth: Seriously, what is wrong with that guy?

Terry:[ Laughs ]

Elizabeth: And thanks for the ride back. You didn’t need to.

Terry: No worries. I left something in my office.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

Terry: Let me know the day of our mystery appointment.

Elizabeth: And let me know how your date goes.

Terry: [ Chuckles ] Britt, did you know that Amy Driscoll blew off her second shift for a manicure?

Britt: I did tell her she could leave early, but a manicure? Good for her.

Terry: Excuse me? [ Laughs ]

Britt: She lost a patient last night.

Terry: [ Scoffs ] And it sucks that Amy had a rough night, but it doesn’t excuse the way she spoke to me.

Britt: I’ll address it with her.

Terry: I was just going to have Epiphany talk to her.

Britt: I—I’d like a shot at it. Use the carrot instead of the stick. It’s–it’s a thing I’m trying.

Terry: Okay. Thanks. Let me know how it goes.

Britt: That’s not what you’re wearing on your date, is it?

Terry: [ Laughs ]


Sonny: I appreciate your hustle. Uh, I don’t think — we don’t have any jobs right now.

Dex: It was worth a try. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take, am I right?

Sonny: Good attitude.

Amy: Chet.

Chet: What? Uh, excuse me. Family awaits.

Sonny: Okay, speaking of family, I got to make a call. So don’t be a stranger, Dex.

Dex: Absolutely.

[ Men grunting ]

Sonny: Carly? Hi. Um, I heard about last night. I just — I just want to make sure you’re okay.

[ Men grunting ]

Sonny: What the hell?!

Dex: Knock it off!

Man: Come on, kid! Come on, kid!

Dex: This is not some back alley! Have some respect. Come on.


Dante: The body of Brendon Byrne surfaced off pier 54. We have evidence that Harmony murdered him.

Willow: But why would my mother kill Brendon Byrne? Did he have a connection to Dawn of Day and Shiloh?

Dante: Well, the only connection we are aware of is that he was Dr. Neil Byrne’s brother, whom Harmony also murdered.

Michael: Hold on, are — are you saying that Harmony murdered a man to conceal that she killed his brother and then tried to kill my mom and Alexis to cover?

Dante: That’s what I’m saying.

Willow: I’m sorry. That — that can’t be right. My mother had her faults, but she was kind, compassionate. She was not a murderer.

Dante: Uh, Willow… Harmony committed a crime years ago, and she went to great lengths to hide it.

Willow: Having to do with her past?

Dante: Having to do with her past… and yours.


Terry: How did you know I have a date?

Britt: When I’m bored, I hack into your personal calendar, e-mails, and browser history.

Terry: Oh.

Britt: I also just overheard Elizabeth.

Terry: [ Scoffs ] Well, if you must know, I’m going home to change. So thanks for asking.

Britt: Mm. Not a fan of unsolicited advice?

Terry: Is anyone?

Britt: Well, then, you’re probably not gonna like what I’m about to say.

Terry: Go on.

Britt: Forget about Amy. Forget about the hospital. Forget about everything right now. Enjoy your date.


Dex: You guys are busted. Get out of here. Let’s go.

Amy: She has it in for me, I swear.

Chet: Well, I’m sure that is not the case.

Amy: Thanks for telling me my feelings and perceptions are invalid. You’re a great brother.

Chet: It’s not like you don’t have a history of blowing things out of proportion.

Amy: You’re adopted.

Chet: Actually, you were.

Amy: Oh, what? [ Laughs ] No, I wasn’t.

Chet: You and your boss are going through a rough patch. You should probably just talk it out.

Amy: You don’t know this woman, Chet. She is completely unreasonable.

Chet: Yeah, I can’t imagine what that’s like.

Amy: There is no point in talking it out. Instead, I’m simply going to avoid her whenever possible.


Terry: Wait, wait, wait a second. You, Britt Westbourne, she of the caustic remarks, who freely judges the choices of others, is actually telling me to go out and —

Britt: Just enjoy yourself.

Terry: [ Scoffs ] You know, you’re continually not as aggravating as I thought you’d be.

Britt: What a compliment.

Terry: [ Chuckles ]

Britt: Now get out of here.

[ Both laugh ]

TJ: You were right.

Britt: As usual. About what?

TJ: I took your advice. I called Molly, and she wants to curl up on the couch, watch “Star Wars,” and eat vegan pizza.

Britt: Sounds like the perfect way to recharge.

TJ: So I would like to take you up on your offer, if that’s okay.

Britt: Go. Leave. Be with your domestic partner.

TJ: Awesome. I just need to tie up a few things, and I’ll be on my way.

Britt: Okay. I will hold down the fort. Enjoy that vegan pizza. And, TJ, May the 4th be with you. Besides, it’s not like I have anyone waiting for me tonight. [ Sighs ]


Elizabeth: Chelsea, hi. My name is Elizabeth. Lucy Coe referred me to you. I would like to schedule a session. I need help explaining the unexplainable.


Brook Lynn: I know what I’ll do. I-I will start saying daily affirmations, like, “I am good enough, I am strong enough, and I will hit the game-winning home run on opening day of the summer softball league.

Chase: Oh, in your dreams. No, not even in your dreams.

Brook Lynn: The Deception team has something the PCPD team doesn’t.

Chase: Yeah, what’s that?

Brook Lynn: [ Laughs ] A base stealer from Bensonhurst with a .350 batting average.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Violet: The tea set’s put away.

Chase: Oh. Guess what — I have an idea. If Leo’s free, the four of us could, uh, go to Kelly’s for dinner.

Brook Lynn: That’s a really great idea. Leo can practice his poem for Violet.

Chase: And then we can go back to rounding the bases.

Brook Lynn: [ Laughs ]

Chase: In terms of softball and describing how softball works.

Brook Lynn: Alright.

Violet: As long as we can bring the lightsabers.

Brook Lynn: It’s a date.

Violet: It’s a date.

[ Laughter ]


Dex: Sorry, Mr. Corinthos. I gave those guys a talking-to. They won’t cause any more trouble.

Sonny: You know what? You know how to handle yourself.

Dex: Just doing my job. Well…you know.

Sonny: You know, I’ll tell you what. There might be something that, you know, I-I might have for you. Why don’t you come by my office later and we’ll talk about your future?


Willow: So this crime my mom committed all those years ago, it was referenced in the papers you found?

Carly: They were session notes from dr. Byrne, who was apparently Harmony’s psychiatrist. And in the notes, dr. Byrne wrote that Harmony revealed a secret to him.

Willow: And what was the secret?

Carly: Uh, Willow…

Dante: Carly, I’m going to stop you before you go any further. Willow, I’m obligated to tell you that, uh, we have yet to verify these and other details, but having said that, we have no reason to doubt the veracity of the comments Dr. Byrne made that, uh, Harmony confessed to doing.

Willow: Thank you, Dante. I understand. Now, can somebody please just tell me?

Dante: Harmony was not your biological mother.

Harmony: She was…one of two. My Willow, she had another half.

Carly: Had another half? Was Willow a twin?

Harmony: Nelle…

Carly: Nelle? Oh my God.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Sasha: What the hell are you doing here?

Brando: I’m hoping you know what to do.

Jordan (to Curtis): And how exactly did you manage to do that, when I said no?

Nina (to Scott): I need your full and complete attention.

Willow (to Carly): Did Harmony tell you anything?

Sonny (to Dex): If that’s a problem, we stop right now.

TR: if it wasn’t for you, paulina. If you’re not with the twins, you’re here taking care of me, making sure I never have to leave his side.

Paulina: It is my honor to support my daughter and my son-in-law. And I am going to keep right on doing it, as long as you need me to. Oh.

TR: How are my two favorite girls?

Paulina: Mm, more flowers. You’re going to make all the other patients very jealous.

Lani: Thank you, tr. They’re lovely.

TR: How’s the patient? Any change?

Lani: Unfortunately, no. But I keep talking to him, telling him how we all cannot wait for him to come back. And, I don’t know, maybe it’s just wishful thinking, but I really feel like he’s listening this time.

Paulina: Oh, I don’t think it’s wishful thinking at all, darling. I think eli hears every word that you say to him and that he’s working very hard to get back to you and those beautiful children.

Tripp: So, what brings you in today, ms. Howard?

[Tense music]

[Elevator dings]

Chanel: How-how are you feeling?

Johnny: Much better. Yeah, as you could see, last night, I was in pretty rough shape, but I’m all rehydrated and good to go.

Chanel: G, are you sure? You’ve been through a lot.

Johnny: Ah, it wasn’t that bad. I mean, sure, I was possessed by the devil, held prisoner in a crypt, almost strangled to death by my dead uncle. But, hey, everyone’s got their problems, right?

Chanel: Yeah, way to put things in perspective.

Johnny: You know, to be honest, all that did do a pretty good number on me, but I’m fine now.

Chanel: And I assume you’re headed home to rest?

Johnny: No way. I need to find allie.

Demon allie: Now that I’ve convinced you that your beloved husband is dead and you’re in mortal danger from the maniac who killed him, you can stay here with me, where you’ll be safe. I’ll keep a close eye on you until you give birth, and then that baby will finally be mine. That’s the plan, ciara. And nobody and nothing is going to stop me.

Susan: Oh, ben, I got your message and I came as soon as I could!

Ben: Susan, I am freaking out. Nobody has seen or heard from ciara since yesterday.

Susan: Oh, what about allie?

Ben: Nobody’s seen or heard from her either.

Susan: Well, I mean, she’s possessed, so that’s hardly surprising.

Ben: Susan, I need to find ciara right now. She could give birth at any time, and the devil is after our baby.

Susan: Okay. You know what, ben? I know how scared you must be after tangling with the devil up close and personal, but you know what? You and ciara, you have a special love. And you know what? Love will always win over evil every time.

Ben: [Sighs] I really hope you’re right. And I really hope that we can use your powers to help me connect with her again, just like you did before. Please.

Susan: Oh, okay, okay. All right, you know the drill. You just go get you something of hers and then, we’ll get cracking, huh? I’m gonna have you two lovebirds chirping in no time! Whoo!

[Sighs] Yeah.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Ben: I gave this to ciara as an anniversary gift.

Susan: It’s a little small, isn’t it?

Ben: It’s symbolic. The bike is what brought us together.

Susan: You know, that is real sweet, ben. That’s real sweet. All right, we’re gonna do this like we did before. Nice and easy, all right?

Ben: [Sighs]

Susan: Okay.

[Inhales deeply] Ahh.

[Inhales deeply] Ooh. Ciara alice brady weston! Oh, honey, I need to feel your presence, sweetheart!

Ben: Anything?

Susan: Uh…no. Here, you hold it. You hold it. Hold it, huh? Come on! Let’s do this! All right, come on!

[Clears throat] Sweetheart, I got your hubby right here! You know, he’s alive and he’s well and he’s reaching out to you, sweetie. He’s reaching out to you and he loves you so much! And I just– I want you to feel his love! Feel his love! Come on! Come on, huh? Anything? Nothing. Why don’t you talk to her?

Ben: Ciara, it’s me. I’m alive and I’m trying to find you, but I need your help.

Ciara: Ben?

Susan: Come on, ben. Keep going. Keep going, honey. Come on.

Ben: Ciara, my love, if you can hear me, I need you to tell me where you are.

Ciara: Ben. Ben, is that you?

[Gasps] Allie.

Allie: Hey, I think you were having a nightmare.

Ciara: No, that wasn’t a nightmare. Allie, it was ben. I heard him. Allie, he’s alive!

Ben: Aw, so close. I-I almost felt her. I swear to god, I was so close. I don’t–I don’t know. Something happened.

Susan: All right, hold on. It’s-it’s the devil. The devil was messing up the signal, that’s all.

Ben: So then, now what? What do we do?

TR: What’s the latest with eli’s doctors? Do they think he has a chance to wake up?

Paulina: Ha, forget those doctors. This wonderful man with a smile that lights up the world? Oh, he’s coming out of this. I am sure of it.

Abe: Wow. It’s a full house, huh?

Lani: [Sighs] Come on in, dad.

Abe: I thought there weren’t supposed to be too many people in this room right now.

Paulina: Um, I’ll go. Yeah, I got to use the little girls’ room anyway. I’ll talk to you later, okay, sweetheart?

Lani: Oh, okay.

Paulina: Okay.

[Door shuts]

Abe: Well, was it something I said?

TR: More like something you did.

Chanel: G, it might not be that easy for you to find your sister. You see, I don’t know if anyone told you this, but she– allie, she took ciara.

Johnny: What? What? Took? Took her where?

Chanel: No one knows.

Johnny: Oh, my god. And the devil wants my cousin’s baby.

Chanel: Every cop in town has been looking for them. Oh, g, what if they shoot first and then ask questions later? I’m scared, johnny. I am so scared.

Johnny: It’s okay.

[Elevator dings]

Paulina: What the hell is going on here? I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Tripp: Ms. Howard, may I ask how you got injured this way?

Beth: I tripped. Landed on my face.

Tripp: Are you sure? Anything you tell me will remain strictly confidential. The doctors who work here are given treatment guidelines. They help us to accurately identify what’s going on with patients so we can provide the help that they need. I want to make sure that I’m doing all I can to help you, ms. Howard. So, I have to ask, did someone do this to you? There’s another option that might make you a little more comfortable. In situations like this, it’s often helpful to call in a female police officer.

Beth: No. No cops. Look, I’m in a lot of pain. I just need a prescription for painkillers.

Tripp: You should probably be admitted.

Beth: No, I can’T. I can’T. I can’t be here. I have to work.

Tripp: Ice first, then heat in a couple of days. And switch to ibuprofen as soon as you can.

Beth: I will.

Tripp: Would you like me to call a friend to pick you up?

Beth: No, I’m good.

[Sighs]

[Solemn music]

Abe: So what exactly is it that you think I did?

TR: Paulina told me that she made it clear that she still had feelings for you, and you rejected her.

Abe: And what the hell business is it of yours?

TR: Actually, it is. I care about her very much, and I don’t want to see her get hurt.

Abe: [Laughs] That is rich coming from you. If anyone–

Lani: Okay, stop! Stop! Dad, stop! Stop it! My husband is fighting for his life, and you two are standing there arguing? What is wrong with you?

Paulina: Keep your filthy hands off my daughter!

Johnny: Look, ms. Price, I know how you feel about me, but chanel, can you please explain to your mother that I’m not the horrible person she thinks I am? I’m sorry. I-I really have to go.

Paulina: [Scoffs] Of course. Of course he runs off. Damn coward!

Chanel: No, johnny really does have something important to do.

Paulina: Oh, yeah, and what is that? Get to a hot date?

Chanel: No, he spent the night here last night, mama. He just got released.

Paulina: And went straight to manhandling you.

Chanel: No, he was comforting me because I was upset. That’s all.

Paulina: Oh, chanel, please don’t tell me that you’re getting sucked back into being with that little punk.

Chanel: You don’t understand.

Paulina: Oh, I understand all right! I understand that he and his twisted sister, they treated you like dirt, shattered your heart into a million pieces!

Chanel: Johnny never meant to hurt me, mama. And neither did allie.

Paulina: What? Well, what is this? This 180 you’re doing here, chanel? Suddenly defending those two? Making excuses for their disgraceful behavior?

Chanel: I’m not making excuses. I’m telling you that– that they weren’t responsible for that behavior.

Paulina: How could they not be? What in the world?

Chanel: It wasn’t them. Mama, they were possessed by the devil.

Allie: Ciara, honey, you couldn’t have heard ben. You were just dreaming.

Ciara: Allie, it was more than that. I’ve had this feeling before I know what this is, the feeling of ben trying to call out to me and reach out to me. I know that that is what this is. I just heard his voice telling me that he needs me.

Allie: Ciara, that’s impossible. And I know this is so hard to accept, but ben is dead.

Ciara: No, allie, I don’t believe that. Every part of me is telling me that that’s not true. Ben just told me himself. Allie, I have to find him.

Allie: Ciara, what you have to do is you have to take care of yourself and your baby, okay? And that means that we need to hide out here until they find evan frears, because if he finds you, he will kill you and your unborn child. Do you understand that?

Ciara: Yeah. Yeah, I guess I do. But what I don’t understand is why the cops aren’t standing guard outside. Rafe said he would send some, so where the hell are they?

Susan: Oh, the devil! The devil! He has isolated ciara! I mean, he wants her and the baby all to himself.

Ben: Yeah, but ciara doesn’t know that. She doesn’t know that allie is possessed, so she trusts her. That’s why the devil, aka allie, is able to manipulate ciara into doing whatever the hell he wants her to do.

Susan: No, not if she is strong and determined like we know she is.

Ben: [Sighs] True, but she just has to hang on until I can get to her.

Susan: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. She sure as shootin’ will. You mark my word for that! And if that devil gets in our way, ben weston, we are gonna go right the heck around him! That’s what we’re gonna do, because we are gonna find your wife. I promise you. I promise you, because love– love will find a way. Ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks.

Abe: Sweetheart, I apologize.

TR: Lani, forgive me.

Lani: Whatever is going on between you two, I cannot have it going on in this room.

Abe: Understood.

[Cell phone buzzes]

TR: Oh, this is my west coast backer again. Look, I’m sorry, I have to take this. You hang in there, okay? I’m praying you for eli.

[Door shuts]

Abe: His west coast backer calls and he just leaves? His work is more important than being here with you.

Lani: Dad.

Susan: Oh, we need to think, think, think, and figure out how to get you and your spunky wife reconnected.

[Exhales sharply]

Ben: Susan.

Susan: Whoo! No, hold on. I’m just gonna get my little noodle working again.

Ben: No, I have an idea.

Susan: What? Hit me, then.

Ben: You remember how ciara and I have communicated psychically before, right? Like when everybody thought she was dead?

Susan: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember. Your wedding picture and the fortune cookie.

Ben: Yeah, but also when she was trapped in that glass room and she was being held prisoner, we had the same dream at the same time. I was romeo and she was juliet, and she used lines from the play to reach out to me and message me to tell me that she was alive and I needed to find her.

Susan: Okay. Do you have that play? ‘Cause this thing isn’t working.

Ben: Of course.

Susan: Okay! Well, don’t just stand there, romeo. Go fetch it.

[Sighs]

Allie: Actually, the cops did come by. Two cops.

Ciara: What? How did I not know this?

Allie: You were asleep.

Ciara: Then why didn’t you wake me up?

Allie: There was no reason to; they didn’t have any new information.

Ciara: No new information? Allie, they must have said something.

Allie: Just that they have an apb out on evan.

Ciara: Oh, so you’re telling me that we are still in serious danger and the cops just left us?

Allie: No, no. They are down at the dock, okay? It’s the only way onto the island, and they’re keeping a watch so that no one can come hurt you.

Ciara: Okay, well, I want to talk to them. I just heard ben’s voice. I know he’s alive and I need to find him.

Allie: Okay, the cops made it very clear that leaving is not an option. For your safety and for your baby’s safety, you need to stay here.

Ciara: Damn it.

Allie: Hey, ciara? Hey, you really need to calm down, so how about– how about we do some of your lamaze breathing, okay?

Ciara: [Exhales sharply] I was supposed to do all that with ben. He was supposed to be my birthing coach. Allie, I need him. My baby needs him. I miss him so much.

Allie: Hey. Well, you’re not alone, ciara. You have me. I’ll be your birthing coach. And I’ll be so honored to do it, to help bring this precious baby boy into the world.

Paulina: So you’re saying to me all that exorcism did was to get the devil out of marlena? It didn’t get rid of him once and for all?

Chanel: Apparently not.

Paulina: Oh, all the more reason for you not to go anywhere near those evil twins. I don’t want satan jumping into you next.

Chanel: Mama, please. There are more important things to worry about right now. Allie, she-she took ciara.

Paulina: What? What do you mean “took”?

Chanel: Kidnapped. Abducted. Tricked into leaving town. They’re gone and no one knows where they went, but we do know that the devil wants ciara’s baby.

Paulina: Oh, lord, no.

Chanel: Yeah. Johnny– oh, god, I feel so bad for him– he went looking for them. Maybe I should see if I could help him.

Paulina: Oh, no. Didn’t I just tell you that you got to stay away from those two? Now, look, you’re not going anywhere near that mess. Let’s just go get some coffee, and you can tell me the rest of this insane story.

TR: I will get the money. I know I said I’d have it by now, but it won’t be long. Next week at the latest. You have my word. Hello? Hello? Damn.

[Sighs] What the hell are you doing back here? Okay, snacks and popcorn are gonna be expensive.

Abe: Look, I am so sorry, lani. I-I know I should keep my opinions to myself. Ray is your biological father, and he has every right to be here.

Lani: Still, dad, I– I understand your concerns about him. And why wouldn’t you have them, given what you know about the man? For years, he abused paulina and drugs. But, dad, since eli’s shooting, he has been great. He’s been here every day. He’s been helping out with the kids. Don’t worry. I would never leave jules and carver alone with him. But they are his grandchildren.

Abe: Well, they’re mine too. I mean, you can tell me not to worry all you want, but–

Lani: Dad, I know. I know tr’s history, okay? And I will keep my guard up, but honestly, I do not think that he’s a threat anymore. Look, he’s trying so hard to prove that he’s become a different man.

Abe: I don’t think that’s possible. I know from kate and nicole, who had experiences with abusers, that men like that rarely change.

Lani: And my experience as a cop tells me the same thing. But rarely is not never. What if tr is the exception?

Abe: And what if he’s not?

TR: If you think you’re gonna shoot your mouth off to lani again–

Beth: I’m not here to see lani. I’m here to see a doctor.

TR: You can’t be seen like this!

Beth: You think I want to be? I spent the entire day in my room trying to bear it, waiting for my ears to stop ringing, my eye to stop throbbing, for it to stop hurting just to breathe. I finally had to come get some painkillers. I’m on my way back to the motel now.

TR: Not good enough. You need to leave town. Go back to la.

Beth: Excuse me?

TR: I want you on the next flight out.

Beth: But what about the movie? I’ll look fine by then.

TR: The hell you will! You can’t do a movie looking like that!

Beth: You did this to me.

TR: [Scoffs] You’re lucky that’s all I did.

Ciara: Allie, I appreciate your offer, I really do, but ben and I have been practicing for months. He was supposed to be my birthing coach. I really– I don’t think I can have this baby without him.

Ben: “If I profane with my unworthiest hand…”

Ciara: Did you hear that?

Allie: Did I hear what?

Ciara: I just– I just heard something. Didn’t you?

Allie: No.

Ciara: Wait. I hear it again.

Ben: “This holy shrine.”

Susan: Keep going.

Ben: “The gentle fine is this.”

Ciara: [Gasps] I definitely heard it that time, allie. It was ben’s voice. He was reciting “romeo and juliet.”

Allie: There’s no way.

Ben: “My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.”

Ciara: Oh, my god. It is you. It’s really you, ben. You’re here. The world is full of make or break moments.

Ben: The next line is juliet’S.

Susan: Anything?

Ben: Maybe it’s not working.

Ciara: “Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much.”

Ben: Oh, my god. Ciara, I can hear you.

Ciara: “Which mannerly devotion shows in this? For saints have hands that pilgrims’ hands do touch, and palm to palm is holy palmers’ kiss.”

Ben: [Exhales sharply] Ciara, wherever you are, you must be hearing and seeing me too. I am alive, baby. Please don’t give up on me. I’m alive, and I’m gonna find you.

Ciara: I believe you, ben.

Ben: Baby, please tell me where you are.

Ciara: I’m right here, baby. I can reach out and touch you.

[Dramatic music]

[Exhales sharply] No!

[Sinister music]

Abe: Ray is always on his best behavior around you and paulina, but I don’t buy it. I don’t think he’s truly reformed.

Lani: His most recent girlfriend, beth howard, she even vouched for him. She said that he never used drugs or laid a hand on her the entire time that they were together.

Abe: What is it?

Lani: Remember when beth came by to visit me the other day?

Abe: She brought flowers.

Lani: Yeah, and after you left, she–she said she had something to tell me. I sort of forgot about it, but now–

Abe: Does it have something to do with ray?

Lani: I don’t know. We got interrupted, and then she left, and… I never found out what it was.

Abe: Maybe you should.

Beth: What are you gonna do to me that you haven’t already done? Shoot me, like you shot eli?

TR: Shut up! I told you I had nothing to do with that.

Beth: And you also told everybody that you weren’t doing drugs and you weren’t beating women.

TR: You deserve what I did to you. You broke our agreement.

Beth: So what happens now? I go back to la and you propose to paulina?

TR: And she says yes. Everything is working out exactly as planned with paulina.

Beth: What if she starts asking questions? Are you gonna kill her? Hell, you almost killed me just for being in the same room with your daughter.

TR: Keep your voice down.

Beth: Like I said, paulina price is no fool. She is not gonna let you get away with robbing her blind.

TR: [Scoffs] Don’t you worry about paulina. Worry about what’s going to happen to you if you stick around salem and anybody sees you like this. Let me spell it out for you, beth. If you show your face around town again or talk to anybody–anybody– about what I did, I’ll kill you. Get it?

Beth: Got it. I’m leaving.

[Tense music]

Paulina: Ray? Isn’t that your ex who just got on that elevator? The lows of bipolar depression

Paulina: That was the woman you used to date, right?

TR: Beth. Yes, that was her.

Paulina: Oh, well, I only saw her from the back, so I wasn’t sure. What was she doing here?

TR: Looking for me. She decided to drop out of the movie and go back to california.

Paulina: Just like that?

TR: Just like that.

Beth: Well, I need to be on the first flight to la, so a layover is fine. So, I’m booked then? Great, thanks.

[Cell phone ringing] Hello?

Lani: Hi, beth. It’s lani, eli grant’s wife.

Beth: Why are you calling me?

Lani: The other day when you came by the hospital, you-you said you had something to tell me. I’d like to know what it is.

Ciara: It’s okay.

Taylor: Hey. I can’t imagine the pain you’re in.

Steffy: I can’t believe he’s gone. He’s never gonna walk through the door again. A god, how can that be true? The last time I was in this house, so was finn, you know, filling it with love and laughter, and now he’s gone. And I can’t do anything about it, except– except try to find the monster who took him from me.

Taylor: And sweetheart, you’ll remember who shot you and finn when you’re ready.

Steffy: Oh my god!

Oh my god!

There’s so much blood!

Sheila: Oh, what have

I done? I didn’t–

I didn’t see him.

I didn’t know–

I didn’t know he was here.

Baby!

Steffy: Your only son.

Sheila: I didn’t know–

I didn’t know he was here.

[ Knocking on door ]

Deacon: Hey, sheila? Sheila, it’s me, come on, open up. Sheila! Sheila, come on, open up.

[ Knocking on door ] Sheila, please–

Sheila: I’m here. I– what are you doing?

Deacon: I wanted to make sure that you didn’t do something awful. Something that couldn’t be taken back.

Quinn: Hey, you busy?

Carter: Uh, never too busy for you.

Quinn: Okay, okay. Question for you.

Carter: Mm hm.

Quinn: Do you prefer a, or b?

Carter: Hm.

Carter: A.

Quinn: Mm! Tell me why.

Carter: The colors are more vibrant in those stones.

Quinn: Exactly what I was thinking. Very good eye, and thank you for confirming my own, exceptional good taste.

Carter: Heh, anytime.

Quinn: Mm hm. What?

Carter: Uh, I’m just curious. How did things go with eric last night?

Paris: Hey.

Zende: Hey. Um, you okay? What’s going on?

Quinn: I don’t know if I should be discussing my relationship with eric, with you. I mean, that’s kinda what got us in trouble in the first place.

Carter: Mm, is that what I am? Trouble?

Quinn: Hah! Well, you certainly can be. Although, I think I got you beat in that department. I mean, I– I’m trouble, cubed. I’m trouble personified. Hehe, at least that’s what I’ve been told, most of my life.

Carter: I don’t see you that way.

Quinn: Well, of course not.

[ Tsk-ing ]

Carter: Speaking of trouble, I– I kinda think I am.

Quinn: Because of me?

Carter: No. No.

Quinn: Ah. Because of paris.

Zende: I can tell when something’s on your mind. You can share it with me. Whatever it is.

Paris: I’ve always loved that about you. Your sensitivity, how you pay attention. How you always encouraged me to speak my mind, and be open and honest with you, which is exactly what you deserve.

Zende: Uh oh, uh, I deserve honesty? About what?

Paris: About my feelings for you.

Steffy: Well, I’ve tried so hard to think back to what happened that night. I can’t remember anything specific. I just get– I get glimpses of things.

Taylor: Well, I know, sweetie, and that is, that is completely normal. You’ve experienced such a traumatic event, this is just your mind’s way of shielding you.

Steffy: No, I don’t want to be protected from the truth. I want to see the face of the monster who killed my husband.

Deacon: I brought you some food. You look terrible.

Sheila: Hah! Still as charming as ever, I see.

Deacon: Fine, come on, you know what I mean. Are you getting any sleep at all?

Sheila: Do you think losing finn is my karma? Because I have done some really terrible things in my past.

Deacon: This is what I know, not what I think. Finn died as a result of a– a cold-blooded, vicious, random attack that you had absolutely nothing to do with.

Sheila: Yeah. It’s just, uh… I really miss him. And I know I’m never going to see that beautiful face with these eyes ever again. There’s only one thing that can help ease this pain.

Deacon: What’s that?

Sheila: Hayes. I need to see my grandson. (Dana)it’s very difficult for the family

Quinn: I don’t get it. I mean, paris “appointed” herself judge and jury, when she found out about our affair, and told brooke, and completely blew our lives apart. And let’s not forget that, uh, she’s the sister of your ex-fiance. So, why would you want to be with her?

Carter: You know, quinn, when you put it that way…

Quinn: Right?

Carter: I guess I was a bit on the rebound. You’d just gone back to eric, shutting down my hopes for a future with you, and I was crushed.

Quinn: So, she took advantage of you?

Carter: No. No, she did not. No, we just– we just happened, and it was wrong, because she was still seeing zende, and that should have made her off-limits, especially after what happened with you, but quinn, this– this also happened because of you. It was like I– I needed to forget about us long enough to heal.

Quinn: But things are completely over between the two of you?

Carter: Yeah. Thankfully, zende is none the wiser.

Zende: You want to talk feelings, I’m your guy.

Paris: Well, you’re incredible, you’re sweet, you’re funny. You’re thoughtful, and one day, you’re gonna own the fashion world.

Zende: Eh, from your mouth…

Paris: No doubt, and there’s no one that’s more deserving than you. I mean, you’re an amazing guy, zende. We’ve been through a lot together.

Zende: Um, ah… uh, wait a minute, uh, why is this starting to feel like– are you ending this between us?

Steffy: Ugh, if I could just see the shooter’s face, then I would just– I would make them answer me for taking my husband away. Ugh, why can’t I remember?

Taylor: Maybe, because you’re still in recovery. You will remember. Your memory will come back. It will. And you’ll remember who did this horrible thing.

Sheila: You know it is so unfair. Li wouldn’t even let me say a final goodbye to finn. And steffy won’t let me anywhere near hayes. He is the only connection I still have to my son.

Deacon: Sheila, it’s only a matter of time before steffy remembers who pulled the trigger that night. Once that mystery is solved, once they arrest whoever did that, maybe then, she’ll be able to hear you, but I’m telling you, going over there now is a mistake.

Sheila: Yeah, well, thank you! Thank you so much for the good advice, my dear friend. But hayes in my grandson, and I need to see him. Facing steffy might be the risk I have to take. Hi, my name is cherrie.

Zende: So maybe you better catch me up. I know that we decided to pull things back a bit, keep it casual, see other people, but I still thought there was a connection between us.

Paris: Always.

Zende: Uh, yeah, okay, so, um, I guess, I– I misread something here. I never gave up on a future with you, paris, but it doesn’t sound like you want the same thing.

Paris: I– I don’t know how to explain it. It just, somewhere down the line, my feelings changed–

Zende: Hey, hey. Message received. Loud and clear.

Paris: I’m sorry, zende.

Zende: Hey, I don’t regret a single moment I spent with you. I’m grateful that we got to spend any time together, at all. I do have one question, though.

Paris: Sure.

Zende: Is this about something missing between us? Or, is there someone else?

Carter: When I ended things with paris, I said the same thing to her. I told her to go forward with zende.

Quinn: Only, she doesn’t feel the same way.

Carter: No, she’s not in love with him. Don’t get me wrong, she has deep feelings for him, how could she not?

Quinn: Right, right. I mean, come on. He ticks all the boxes, right? I mean, he’s handsome, he– he’s an up and coming fashion designer, he’s warm, he’s caring, he want’s to settle down and have a family, I mean come on, what more could paris want? Look, I don’t like her, and yeah, I’m totally judging her, I get that, but I can also understand why she would fall in love with you.

Steffy: Whoever killed finn, they’re out there, just walking around. They should be in prison. I have the answer, it’s in my head, I just…

[ Sighing ] I can’t seem to get to it.

Taylor: But you will.

Steffy: How? How? Do I have to be patient? It’s like, some kind of trigger?

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah. A trigger could happen when you least expect it.

[ Hayes fussing on monitor ]

Steffy: I’m gonna check on him.

Taylor: Okay. Let me know if you need anything.

[ Knocking on door ] Sheila.

Sheila: I– I’m sorry. I know that I should have called, but I– I was afraid with warning steffy wouldn’t let me in. I– please, taylor, you just have to help me. I– I… I want to see my grandson. Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches

Paris: Honesty is the least you deserve from me. So, yes. There is someone. A man you know very well.

Zende: Who?

Paris: Carter. I have feelings for carter.

Quinn: I know what it’s like to be alone with you. To be up close and personal with that insane charisma and off the charts sexual energy. I– ooh, I mean, I am a grown-ass married woman, and I lost my mind.

[ Laughing ]

Carter: Well, you weren’t the only one.

Quinn: I’m just saying I am familiar with your superpowers.

Carter: Quinn, stop!

Quinn: I can totally understand why paris fell head over heels in love with you. But I know you, carter. And I learned to hear what it is you don’t say.

Carter: What do you think that is?

Quinn: You may have gotten caught up in this whole paris thing, but you don’t feel about her the way she feels about you. Mm hm, am I right? Am I right? You don’t even have to say it. I know I’m right.

Taylor: Sheila, you should not have come by like this. Steffy doesn’t need any more stress.

Sheila: I– I know that it’s risky, and I don’t want to do anything that might set steffy off. But taylor, I lost finn too. Hayes is the only connection that I have left with him.

Taylor: I understand, but sheila, you can call me. Come in.

Sheila: Thank you. You– you know, li… shut me out. She wouldn’t even let me say a final goodbye to my son, and that tore my heart out. And now, I don’t– I don’t even– I don’t even want to open my eyes in the morning, knowing that he’s gone, every day, the endless days of knowing that I am never going to see finn’s beautiful face again, or even have the chance to make him smile.

Taylor: Sheila, you’re not thinking about harming yourself again, are you?

Sheila: No.

Taylor: Okay, good. Just remember, finn would not want that. I’m so sorry you lost your son, the– the pain is indescribable. But don’t make it worse by blaming yourself for something that wasn’t your fault.

Steffy: What?

Sheila: Hello, steffy.

Sheila: What is she doing here?

Taylor: She shouldn’t have come by like this, but she’s asked to see hayes.

Steffy: You know that’s not gonna happen.

Taylor: I do. I do, but I also understand why she’s here. She’s finn’s mother. Hayes is her grandson. Hayes is all she has left of her son.

Steffy: I get that, and I’m sorry. But that doesn’t mean my door’s open to sheila. She’s not allowed to see hayes. And you know it. So why exactly are you here?

Sheila: You’re right. This, this– uh, this was… a bad idea, I’m sorry. I’m gonna go. But you know, before I do, I want to tell you how terribly, terribly sorry I am, steffy. For your loss, and for mine.

Steffy: Wait! You’re not going anywhere, sheila.

Ashland: You really would never make a good poker player, would you? I mean, you just lay all your cards on the table for everybody to see.

Billy: Meaning?

Ashland: It’s abundantly clear that you’re still in love with Victoria. And it’s surprising to me that someone as smart as Lily hasn’t figured that out yet, but then again, maybe she has. Maybe she resents the fact that you keep barging in to protect your ex.

Billy: Lily and I are just fine. Thank you for your concern. And as far as Victoria, I am not worried about her ability to deal with you. She’s already proven that she can handle herself. My warning was directly to you for your own sake because you are playing with fire.

Ashland: You will never understand my relationship with Victoria. She’s not nearly as angry at me as you think she is.

Billy: Yeah, what about your ex-father-in-law? You know the one that stood there, watched you gasp for air while you were having a heart attack. And that was before he knew that you were lying about having cancer, screwing over his daughter. I’m pretty sure that you are on the top of his hit list right now, Ashland. And believe, it’s not a fun place to be.

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

Sally: Have you considered calling Victoria’s bluff? Because I find it hard to believe that she would give up on her dream job just because she has to share it with her smart, capable brother.

Adam: Have you met my sister?

Update written by Joseph

Paulina visits Eli with Lani in the hospital. Paulina encourages that Eli knows how much Lani loves him. Lani credits Paulina for always being there and allowing her to spend so much time at Eli’s side. Paulina says it’s her honor to support them and she will continue to do so as long as they need. TR then arrives with flowers and asks how his two favorite girls are. Lani thanks TR and tells him there is no change in Eli, but she keeps talking to him and telling him that they can’t wait for him to come back. Lani says it may be wishful thinking but she really feels like he’s listening this time. Paulina encourages that Eli hears every word Lani says to him and he’s working hard to get back to her and their children.

Tripp enters a hospital room to check on Beth and asks what brings her in today. Beth turns to him, revealing she has a black eye.

Chanel arrives at the hospital and sees Johnny. Chanel asks how he’s feeling. Johnny responds that he’s much better as he’s rehydrated and good to go. Chanel asks if he’s sure since he’s been through a lot. Johnny jokes that it wasn’t that bad but then goes over being possessed by the Devil, held prisoner in a crypt and almost strangled to death by his dead uncle. Johnny says everyone has their problems but admits it did a number on him, though he’s fine now. Chanel assumes he’s heading home to rest but Johnny says no way as he needs to find Allie.

Devil Allie walks around the cabin as Ciara sleeps on the couch. The Devil says now that he’s convinced Ciara that her husband is dead and she’s in mortal danger from the maniac who killed him, she can stay here with him where he’ll keep her safe until she gives birth and then that baby will finally be his. The Devil declares that’s the plan and nothing is going to stop him.

Susan rushes in to Ben’s apartment, saying she got his message and came as soon as she could. Ben talks about no one seeing or hearing from Ciara or Allie since yesterday. Ben needs Susan to find Ciara right now as she could give birth any time and the Devil is after their baby. Susan encourages Ben that love will always win over evil. Ben hopes she’s right and that they can use her power to help him connect with Ciara like before. Susan tells Ben to get her something of Ciara’s. Ben gives Susan the motorcycle helmet that he gave to Ciara as an anniversary gift. Susan raises the helmet and calls out to Ciara to try and feel her presence but doesn’t get anything. Susan then has Ben hold the helmet and holds Ben’s hand to try again but gets nothing. Susan then asks Ben to try to talk to Ciara.

Ciara hears Ben’s voice, saying he’s alive and trying to find her but he needs her help.

Susan encourages Ben to keep going. Ben says he needs Ciara to tell him where she is.

Ciara calls out to Ben but Allie wakes her up, saying she was having a nightmare. Ciara says it wasn’t a nightmare but she heard Ben and he’s alive.

Ben tells Susan that he was so close and swears he almost felt her but something happened. Susan guesses the Devil was messing up the signal. Ben asks what to do now.

TR asks what is the latest on Eli and the doctors and if they think he has a chance to wake up. Paulina insists that Eli is coming out of this while TR looks worried. Abe enters the room and comments that it’s a full house. Abe thought there wasn’t supposed to be too many people in the room as he turns to TR. Paulina decides she has to use the restroom anyway so she hugs Lani and then exits the room. Abe asks if it was something he said. TR responds that it was more like something he did.

Chanel tells Johnny that it might not be that easy for him to find Allie since she took Ciara. Johnny is shocked as Chanel explains that no one knows where she took her. Johnny remembers the Devil wants Ciara’s baby. Chanel says every cop in town has been looking for them. Chanel worries about what if the cops shoot first and ask questions later. Chanel cries that she’s so scared. Johnny hugs Chanel as Paulina comes off of the elevator and questions what the hell is going on here.

Tripp asks Beth how she got injured with the black eye and cut lip. Beth claims that she tripped and landed on her face. Tripp asks if he’s sure, adding that anything she tells him will remain strictly confidential as the doctors are given treatment guidelines to help them accurately identify what is going on with patients to get them what they need. Tripp wants to make sure he’s doing all he can to help her, so he has to ask if someone did this to her. Tripp adds that there is another option and offers to call in a female police officer but Beth says no cops. Beth says she is in a lot of pain and just needs a prescription for painkillers. Tripp feels she should be admitted in to the hospital but Beth says she can’t be here as she has to work. Tripp suggests ice first and then heat in a couple days and to switch to Ibuprofen as soon as she can. Tripp asks if she wants him to call a friend to pick her up but Beth says she’s good and quickly exits the room.

Abe asks what exactly TR thinks he did. TR informs him that Paulina told him that she made it clear that she still has feelings for Abe but he rejected her. Abe asks what the hell business it is of his. TR says it is because he cares about Paulina very much and doesn’t want to see her get hurt. Abe laughs and says that’s rich coming from him. Lani interrupts, yelling at them to stop as her husband is fighting for his life and they are there arguing. Lani asks what is wrong with them.

Paulina yells for Johnny to keep his filthy hands off of her daughter. Johnny knows how she feels about him and asks Chanel to explain that he’s not the horrible person she thinks he is. Johnny says he’s sorry but he really has to go so he rushes out of the hospital. Paulina calls him a coward for running off. Chanel tells her that Johnny really does have something important to do, explaining that he just got released from the hospital. Chanel adds that Johnny was just comforting her because she was upset. Paulina hopes she’s not getting sucked back in to being with Johnny. Chanel says she doesn’t understand. Paulina complains about Johnny and Allie treating her like dirt and shattering her heart. Chanel clarifies that Johnny and Allie never meant to hurt her. Paulina questions her doing a 180 and defending them. Chanel reveals that she’s not making excuses but telling her that they weren’t responsible for that behavior because it wasn’t them, they were possessed by The Devil.

Allie tells Ciara that she couldn’t have heard Ben and was just dreaming. Ciara says it was more than that and she’s had the feeling before of Ben trying to reach out to her before and she just heard his voice saying he needs her. Allie calls that impossible and knows it’s hard to accept but Ben is dead. Ciara doesn’t believe it as every part of her is telling her it’s not true. Ciara declares that she has to find Ben but Allie says she has to take care of herself and her baby which means they have to hide out her until they find Evan because he will kill her and her unborn child if he finds her. Ciara doesn’t understand why there are no cops guarding the cabin outside if Rafe said he would send some.

Susan worries to Ben that The Devil has isolated Ciara as he wants her and the baby all to himself. Ben points out that Ciara doesn’t know that Allie is possessed so she trusts her which is why The Devil is able to manipulate Ciara in to doing whatever the hell he wants. Susan says not if Ciara is strong and determined. Ben agrees that Ciara just has to hang on until he can get to her. Susan declares that if the Devil gets in their way, they will go around him. Susan promises they will find Ciara because love will find a way.

Abe and TR apologize to Lani for arguing. Lani says whatever is going on between them, she can’t have it going on in this room. Abe says he understands. TR gets a call and tells Lani to hang in there and that he’s praying for Eli as he exits the room to answer the call. Abe questions TR just leaving because his work is more important than being here with her.

Susan tells Ben that they need to figure out how to get he and Ciara reconnected. Ben brings up how they communicated psychically before and when Ciara was held prisoner, they had the same dream at the same time of being Romeo and Juliet. Susan tells him to go get Romeo & Juliet.

Allie claims to Ciara that two cops did come by while she was asleep. Ciara questions her not waking her up. Allie says there was no reason to as they had no new information and just that they have an APB out on Evan. Ciara questions the cops just leaving them while they are in serious danger. Allie claims that they are down on the docks. Ciara wants to talk to the cops, insisting that Ben is still alive and she needs to find him. Allie claims to her that the cops made it clear that leaving is not an option so for her safety, they need to stay here. Allie suggests they do breathing exercises for her pregnancy. Ciara mentions that she was supposed to do that with Ben as he was going to be her birthing coach. Ciara cries that she and her baby need Ben. Allie encourages that she has her so she’s not alone. Allie offers to be Ciara’s birthing coach and says she’ll be honored to help bring her baby in to the world.

Paulina questions Chanel about the exorcism getting the Devil out of Marlena but not getting rid of him once and for all. Chanel says apparently not. Paulina feels that’s all the more reason for her not to go near the twins so that Satan doesn’t jump in to her next. Chanel says there are more important things to worry about right now because Allie took Ciara and no one knows where they went, but they know the Devil wants Ciara’s baby. Chanel feels so bad for Johnny and he went looking for them. Chanel wonders if she should go help but Paulina tells them to stay away and not go anywhere near that mess. Paulina suggests they go get coffee, so Chanel can tell her the rest of this insane story.

TR is on the phone at the hospital, saying he knows he said he would have the money by now but he will get it. TR gives his word that it will be next week at the latest but they hang up on him. TR then spots Beth on her way out of the hospital and confronts her, questioning what the hell she’s doing back here.

Abe apologizes to Lani as he knows he should keep his opinions to himself since TR is her biological father and has every right to be here. Lani understands Abe’s concerns about TR since for years, he abused Paulina and drugs. Lani notes that since Eli’s shooting, TR has been great and been there every day plus helping with the kids. Lani assures she would never leave the kids alone with him but they are his grandchildren. Abe says they are his too and he can’t not worry. Lani knows TR’s history and promises to keep her guard up, but she honestly doesn’t believe he’s a threat anymore as he’s trying so hard to prove that he’s become a different man. Abe doesn’t think that’s possible as he knows from Kate and Nicole, who had experience with abusers, that men like that rarely change. Lani responds that her experience as a cop tells her the same thing but rarely is not never, so TR could be the exception. Abe asks what if he’s not.

TR pulls Beth aside and warns her about shooting her mouth off to Lani again. Beth clarifies that she wasn’t here to see Lani, but to see a doctor. TR argues that she can’t be seen like this. Beth says she didn’t want to be but she was waiting for her ears to stop ringing, her eye to stop throbbing, and for it to stop hurting to breathe. Beth says she only came for painkillers and is now on her way back to the hotel. TR declares that’s not good enough as she needs to leave town and go back to LA. TR wants her on the next flight out. Beth asks about the movie and says she’ll be fine by then. TR disagrees and argues that she can’t do a movie looking like that. Beth argues that TR did this to her. TR remarks that she’s lucky that’s all he did…

Ciara appreciates Allie’s offer but says she and Ben had been practicing for months so he was supposed to be her birthing coach and she doesn’t think she can have this baby without him. Ciara then hears Ben’s voice reading Romeo & Juliet. Ciara asks if Allie just heard something like she did but Allie says no. Ciara says she heard it again as Ben continues reading Romeo & Juliet. Ciara tells Allie that she is definitely hearing Ben’s voice reciting Romeo & Juliet. Allie says there is no way. Ciara imagines Ben appearing in the cabin, reciting the lines, and says it’s really him and he’s here.

Ben points to Susan that the next line is Juliet’s. Ben worries that it’s not working. Ben then hears Ciara’s voice reciting the next line. Ben says he can hear Ciara and then imagines her appearing in the room behind him. Ben reaches out and says where ever she is, she must be seeing and hearing him too. Ben insists that he’s alive and is going to find her so he asks her not to give up on him.

Ciara reaches out and says she believes in Ben.

Ben asks Ciara to tell him where she is. He imagines Ciara saying she’s right there and that she can reach out and touch him but the vision disappears.

Devil Allie uses his powers to erase Ciara’s vision of Ben, leaving her disappointed.

Abe tells Lani that TR is always on his best behavior around her and Paulina, but he doesn’t buy that he’s truly reformed. Lani brings up TR’s recent girlfriend Beth vouching for him and saying that he never used drugs or laid a hand on her for the entire time they were together. Lani then brings up Beth coming to visit her the other day and she said she had something to tell her. Lani says she forgot about it until now. Abe wonders if it has something to do with TR. Lani says she doesn’t know as they got interrupted and then she left so she never found out what it was. Abe suggests maybe she should..

Beth asks what TR is going to do to her that he hasn’t already done, shoot her like he shot Eli? TR snipes at her to shut up and reminds her that he told her he had nothing to do with Eli’s shooting. Beth points out that TR also told everyone that he wasn’t doing drugs and wasn’t beating women. TR argues that she deserved what he did to her because she broke their agreement. Beth asks if she’s supposed to go back to LA while TR proposes to Paulina. TR says then Paulina says yes as everything is working out exactly as planned with Paulina. Beth asks what if Paulina starts asking questions and if he’s going to kill her. Beth points out that TR almost killed her just for being in the same room as his daughter. TR warns her to keep her voice down. Beth repeats that Paulina is no fool and is not going to let him get away with walking her blind. TR tells her not to worry about Paulina but to worry about what’s going to happen to her if she sticks around Salem and anybody sees her like this. TR warns Beth that if she shows her face around town again or talks to anybody about what he did then he will kill her. Beth says she’s got it and she’s leaving as she then exits the hospital as they stare back at each other. Paulina then approaches TR and asks if that was his ex getting on the elevator. TR confirms that was Beth. Paulina asks what she was doing here. TR claims that she was just looking for him because she decided to drop out of the movie and go back to California.

Beth walks through the town square, booking the next flight out to LA. Beth hangs up and then gets a call from Lani. Lani brings up Beth saying she had something to tell her and she’d like to know what it is.

Ciara tells Allie that it’s all going to be okay because Ben is not here now but he’s alive. Allie tells him that it’s not true and that she was just hallucinating. Ciara insists that it was their psychic connection at work. Allie encourages her to sleep but Ciara says no way as she’s not going to wait for Ben to find her, she’s going to find him.

Ben tells Susan that the connection was broken. Susan says what’s important is that he reached her and reconnected to her. Ben declares that now he just has to go find her. Johnny shows up at the door and asks if there’s any news. Susan hugs Johnny, who says he just got released from the hospital. Susan is happy that Johnny is alive and well and devil-free. Johnny credits Susan for saving him. Susan jokes that she’ll have Roger write a song about how they beat the Devil. Johnny points out that they haven’t won yet because Allie is still out there. Ben adds that she is with his wife and child.

Ciara says for her and Allie to go but Allie says she’s not going anywhere and not letting her go either. Ciara argues that Allie has no say about it as she is not her prisoner, so she is going to go find Ben and there’s nothing she can do to stop her.

Lani reminds Beth that she said it was something she deserved to know. Beth thinks back to TR threatening to kill her. Beth then tells Lani that it wasn’t important and she’s sorry for making her feel like it was. Beth says she has a plane to catch back to LA but she wishes her and Eli the best. Beth prays that Eli wakes up. Lani thanks her and they hang up. Lani tells Abe that was strange as she got the feeling that Beth was hiding something, but she’s leaving town now so she guesses they’ll never know.

Paulina questions TR about why Beth just up and quit. TR claims she didn’t say and guesses she got cold feet. Paulina asks if he needs a new Celeste for the movie. TR suggests Paulina put in a good word for him with Chanel to get her to consider to sign on again since he always thought she was the best person for the role. Paulina mentions just seeing Chanel and that she was on her way to the Bakery, so he could track her down right now if he wants. TR decides he will talk to her but not right now as there is a higher priority he has to take care of first. Paulina questions what is higher priority than his movie. TR responds that she is and he has an important question for her…

Abe tells Lani that he better get to Julie’s as he promised to take the twins for the evening. Lani thanks him and says she really could not do this without him. Abe says it’s his pleasure as they hug and that he loves her as he exits the room. Lani sits with Eli and says everyone loves him too and they are all pulling for him.

Update written by Dustin

At her place, Robert and Anna try to find something to watch on TV when her doorbell rings. It’s Mac and Felicia, and Anna invites them in for movie night. Felicia asks if they can skip it and suggests to Anna they go out and look at the stars.

Alone, Robert tells his brother to start talking. Mac beats around the bush before finally revealing he thinks Felicia wants a baby. Robert laughs, then pours his brother a shot of whiskey. Mac says that raising Maxie, Georgie and Robin were the joys of his life, but he and Felicia never got to have one of their own. However, he thinks he could be misreading the entire situation.

Outside, Anna asks Felicia what is going on. Like her husband, Felicia makes small talk before finally blurting out that she thinks Mac wants a baby. Anna asks if she’d want to raise another child. Felicia doesn’t know as she’s a grandmother of three. Anna thinks that shouldn’t stop her, and perhaps she should be talking about this with Mac. Anna promises whatever she decides, she’ll always be in her corner. Felicia thinks maybe it’s the last thing Mac wants and it’s all in her head.

Sonny says goodnight to his security guard and heads into his empty apartment. He sits down on the couch and puts his feet up on the table. He nods off only to find himself back in Nixon Falls. Lenny appears and says it’s about time he arrived. His friend notes Sonny’s wardrobe is lacking and hands him his old cowboy hat. Sonny thinks this isn’t real, and Lenny’s dead. Lenny reminds Sonny that people thought he was dead once too. Lenny wants to know what’s been happening since Sonny went back to Port Charles.

Sonny fills him in on his divorce, and how his relationship with Nina has put a strain on his relationship with his son. Lenny tells Sonny not to give up on him. Sonny would never, but feels Michael’s given up on him. Sonny asks Lenny what was the secret to his and Phyllis’ happiness. Lenny says both people just have to give. Sonny reveals Nina isn’t making him take sides against his son, which has been a gift. Lenny wonders what he’s giving Nina in return. Sonny thanks Lenny for the good advice and realizes he has to do something for Nina. Lenny tells him to get out of there, but Sonny doesn’t know how he is supposed to leave.

Sonny awakens in his apartment and later makes a call to Nina. He gets her voicemail, so he leaves a message saying he was happy to see her tonight and he can’t wait to see her again soon.

At the hospital, Michael tries to distract Willow with details about their Paris trip that he’s been planning. Sasha and Brando arrive, and Sasha asks if they can wait with her. Willow invites them to join them. Willow tells her that her mom is awake, so Sasha thinks that means there is hope.

Sasha goes into the bathroom and realizes if she had been caught with drugs in her system, she could have been tried for manslaughter. She tells herself not to blow this second chance and flushes the pills. Brando knocks on the door, and Sasha says she’ll be right there.

In Harmony’s room, Carly tells Harmony that she’s not making sense. Harmony says, “Willow, you need to protect her no matter the cost.” Carly asks from what? Harmony apologizes for almost trying to kill her, and she’s been so selfish. Harmony says she should have told the truth when she had the chance.

Carly tells Harmony the longer she takes to tell Willow, the harder it will be to say it. Harmony wishes she had told the truth earlier, but now it’s gone too far, and Willow isn’t safe with her. Willow can never know. Carly is confused. Harmony says, “She loves too much, too hard. She’s obsessive, possessive, she’ll try and take Willow from Michael.” Carly realizes Harmony is talking about Willow’s biological mother. Harmony explains Willow already hates her, and Willow was one of two. Carly figures out Willow is a twin, and Harmony says, “Nelle.” Carly is shocked, “Nina is Willow’s biological mother?” Harmony begs Carly to protect Willow as Nina’s love will smother her. Carly promises her she’ll protect Willow. Suddenly, Harmony codes.

TJ enters the room and finds Harmony has no pulse. He and Amy work to shock Harmony and begin CPR. Harmony never recovers and TJ calls her time of death.

Carly goes to the waiting area and tells Willow that she needs to get back to the ICU. Michael and Willow head there immediately, and Sasha fears she killed Harmony. Brando says it was an accident and everyone knows that. 

In the ICU, Willow can tell by TJ’s face her mother is gone. TJ  explains they did everything they could. Willow asks for a moment alone with her, and TJ tells her to take as much time as she needs. Willow asks Michael to come with her, and they head inside.

Willow sits by her mother and takes her hand. She cries that she loves her and forgives her. She remembers a picnic they had in Colorado, and how her mother braided her hair and made her feel so beautiful and free. She kisses her hand and promises to tell Wiley only the good memories of her. Outside, Carly watches. She remembers Harmony begging her to protect her from Nina, and promising she would.

TJ goes to the waiting room and tells Sasha and Brando that Willow will need their friendship more than ever now.

Sally: Mm-hmm, that was more of a rhetorical question, but thank you.

Billy: You’re up and around. That’s good to see.

Victoria: I’m walking, hooray.

Billy: Are you in pain?

Victoria: No, I — I am — I’m feeling okay. Guess I’m pretty lucky, all things considered.

Billy: Yeah. It’s tragic about Rey.

Victoria: I wish I hadn’t been out there driving on that road. Maybe things would’ve turned out differently.

Billy: You can’t think that way, Vick. It was an accident. It wasn’t your fault.

Victoria: Right. Many people have assured me of that.

Billy: Why were you out there on that road? That’s not your usual way home.

Victoria: I thought you said that you didn’t blame me, and now you’re asking me how I got myself into this predicament.

Young & The Restless Transcript

Y&R logo

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Adam: Diane is alive? After all these years? Are you sure? Have you seen her?

Victor: Unfortunately, yes.

Adam: How in the hell did she pull this off? And where has she been all these years?

Victor: I don’t know the full story.

[ Knock on door ]

Adam: Why would she come back here?

Victor: She claims she wants to reunite with kyle. Who knows what her true motives are?

Sally: Um, hi. Is everything okay?

Adam: Someone we thought was dead a long time ago has just turned up alive and well.

Sally: I take it neither of you are fond of her?

Victor: Complicates matters. Since kyle now has married into my family.

Sally: Wow, so who exactly has risen from the dead?

Adam: Diane jenkins. Kyle’s mother.

Jack: Hey, how you doing?

Kyle: Seeing harrison always makes me feel better. He’s upstairs having a ball with his new bff traci.

Jack: Oh, I’ll bet he is. Traci has that effect on a lot of people.

Kyle: Such a relief knowing that he’s safe and sound and taken care of. Thank you and phyllis for spending time with him, too, while I’ve been getting my bearings.

Jack: Well, if I can speak for everyone else, it was our pleasure. We all love harrison and we all know how difficult it is for you to be face-to-face with your mother.

Kyle: I’m still no closer to making a decision about how to move forward.

Jack: Don’t rush that decision. Diane took years contemplating all of her possibilities before she sprung this on you. You take all the time you need.

[ Door opens ]

Nikki: Got your message. I assume you want to talk about my meeting with the logistics team.

Victoria: I actually want to talk about a different project — my father.

Nikki: Uh-oh. What happened after I left?

Victoria: Dad was trying to suggest that adam take ashland’s position as co-ceo. Of course, he framed the suggestion as a response to my supposedly fragile emotional state, which was infuriating.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] Sometimes your father isn’t the most tactful.

Victoria: It’s insulting.

Nikki: I agree. But maybe your anger should be directed at ashland.

Victoria: Well, at least ashland is no longer a threat, but you know who is — adam.

Nikki: I know you’re not gonna like hearing this, but adam is a big reason why ashland is no longer with the company.

Victoria: Yes, he used a half a billion dollars of dad’s money to make that happen, and even if it did work, that doesn’t entitle him to the co-ceo position.

Nikki: Well, none of us are happy about the lengths we had to go to to get rid of him. But the important thing is that our family is still a strong unit, and I want it to stay that way.

Victoria: You know what? Maybe you ought to save that speech for dad, since I left the ceo decision up to him.

Nikki: You did?

Victoria: I did. I told him that he could appoint as co-ceo if he wants to, but if he does, I’m out.

Billy: So I take it you’re staying here because victoria threw you out.

Ashland: Brilliant powers of deduction.

Billy: Why are you here at all? I mean, you’ve kicked to the curb at newman/locke, your marriage to victoria is being annulled. What’s the point?

Ashland: I have my reasons, none of which have anything to do with you.

Billy: Well, you better tell& me they don’t have anything to do with victoria.

Ashland: Again, none of your business.

Billy: I’m gonna need to insist that you stay the hell away from her.

Your mission:

Additional sponsorship

Ashland: You really would never make a good poker player, would you? I mean, you just lay all your cards on the table for everybody to see.

Billy: Meaning?

Ashland: It’s abundantly clear that you’re still in love with victoria. And it’s surprising to me that someone as smart as lily hasn’t figured that out yet, but then again, maybe she has. Maybe she resents the fact that you keep barging in to protect your ex.

Billy: Lily and I are just fine. Thank you for your concern. And as far as victoria, I am not worried about her ability to deal with you. She’s already proven that she can handle herself. My warning was directly to you for your own sake, because you are playing with fire.

Ashland: You will never understand my relationship with victoria. She’s not nearly as angry at me as you think she is.

Billy: Yeah, what about your ex-father-in-law? You know the one that stood there, watched you gasp for air while you were having a heart attack. And that was before he knew that you were lying about having cancer, screwing over his daughter. I’m pretty sure that you are on the top of his hit list right now, ashland. And believe, it’s not a fun place to be.

Sally: So if this diane person is kyle’s mom, were she and jack married?

Adam: It never got there. She was married to my dad, though, twice.

Victor: Son, let’s not get into that, alright?

Sally: Well, it sounds interesting to me.

Adam: Well, she also dated nick.

Victor: Enough. Diane jenkins always was and always will be a dangerous person. And I wanted you to know that she’s in town and I wanted to warn you to stay away from her as far as you can. Lest she remind you of your connection with her and tries to wrangle something from you.

Sally: Wait, adam had a connection with her, too?

Adam: Not really. Look, I don’t want to have any contact with diane, so why don’t we drop that and we get back to your conversation with victoria?

[ Clears throat ] She didn’t seem very happy when she left here, so is there any chance that you were discussing me?

Victor: She’s not very fond of you, son.

Adam: I am aware.

Victoria: My brother is a snake, and from the moment that he agreed to come and work for me, he’s been looking for ways to undermine me. So appointing him co-ceo is just gonna make things worse.

Nikki: Your father sees things differently.

Victoria: [ Scoffs ] Yes. I know that, because he’s always had a soft spot for adam — or should I say a blind spot.

Nikki: Well, victor did take a risk setting adam up at newman media when nobody else thought it was a good idea. I have to admit that adam has been successful running that division and seems to have proven that he can be a reliable family member.

Victoria: Whenever it suits his purpose. Mom, are you making an argument for adam becoming co-ceo?

Nikki: Oh, no, not at all. I’m just stating the facts.

Victoria: Oh, gosh. I guess it’s pointless. I know dad is never gonna see adam the way that I see him. It’s never gonna happen. But…

Nikki: But what?

Victoria: But what if i agreed that I could use a co-ceo and then I hire someone that dad would have to concede is a far better choice?

Nikki: Good luck finding that person.

Victoria: I think I already have. I’m looking at her.

Jack: You know, if you need someone to run all of this by, I’m happy to be a sounding board.

Kyle: Appreciate that. And I will take you up on it at some point, but I’ve spent a lot of time talking about it today.

Jack: Wait, with whom?

Kyle: First traci, then mariah. Look, I ran into her while I was out, and I wasn’t planning on telling her what was going on, but then we started talking and I ended up spilling my guts.

Jack: I’m sure she’s as shocked as the rest of us are.

Kyle: Of course. It’s just so bizarre.

[ Exhales sharply ]

Jack: All the more reason for you to take your time. You have to get past your own shock in order to make a decision that could impact the rest of your life.

Kyle: I still have so many questions.

Jack: I know you do, son.

Kyle: Problem is, there’s really only one person who can answer them.

Jack: Would you like me to go with you?

Kyle: Mnh-mnh. I think my mother will be more forthcoming if it’s a one-on-one talk.

Jack: I agree. Good luck.

[ Cellphone rings ] Hello?

Ashland: Jack, it’s ashland. Can we meet? I have something important I’d like to discuss with you. I was on an antidepressant,

Adam: I don’t know why victoria continues to see me as a threat to her.

Victor: You don’t think you bear some responsibility for that? When you had the brilliant idea of paying ashland locke $500 million for him to get the hell out of our lives? It bought us some time, you know? But you did all that without consulting any of us. You did it behind victoria’s back, as well. And that she didn’t like.

Sally: Well, if adam had gone to her, she never would’ve gone along with it.

Victor: Probably not.

Adam: Okay, but in the end, we all worked together to neutralize ashland, right? Shouldn’t we continue to do that? Isn’t that what you want — a big, happy family working together?

Victor: You’re absolutely right, okay? Now, I encouraged her to assign you as co-ceo of the company.

Adam: Oh, I can only imagine how that went over.

Victor: She refused to entertain that idea. She said she’d rather resign than have you be co-ceo of newman/locke.

Nikki: I don’t know how to respond to your offer.

Victoria: Well, I hope that you will accept it. I mean, you are quite literally the only person that I trust to be on equal footing with me.

Nikki: Normally, I would be very flattered, but I don’t know how I feel about being a pawn in your game with your father. He’s gonna know what you’re up to.

Victoria: And that’s okay with me. I’m not trying to hide the fact that I want to thwart his plan to promote adam. And the brilliance of you becoming co-ceo is that, you know, dad will have to agree that you are the most qualified and the most experienced candidate. I mean, you’ve been my coo from the very beginning. You understand my vision. You support it. And most importantly, especially for dad, as far he’s concerned, you’re family.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] I was just saying I don’t want to see anymore strife among us. I certainly don’t want to be in the middle of it.

Victoria: You’re not really going to turn down my offer, are you?

Diane: Kyle. Please come in.

Kyle: Are you leaving?

Diane: Oh, I wasn’t planning to, but after our conversation, I thought it might be a while until I hear from you again, so I wanted to give you space.

Kyle: Mm.

Diane: Unless, of course, you’ve had a change of heart.

Kyle: I wouldn’t say that. And don’t read too much into this. I’m not here to declare my forgiveness or anything, but i have some questions. A lot of them.

Diane: Okay. I’m ready to answer any and all of them.

Kyle: They really all boil down to one. How can I know you’ve really changed?

Jack: Hey, there. I don’t have a lot of time. Dealing with a bit of a family situation at home. If my phone should ring, I may have to run.

Ashland: I appreciate you making the time at all.

Jack: I assume this is about harrison. You want to spend more time with him while he and kyle are in town.

Ashland: Sort of, yes. I take it you haven’t spoken to your brother or heard the news?

Jack: About what? Wait, don’t tell me your medical condition has taken a turn for the worse.

Ashland: No, no, that’s not the case. Um…uh, there will be some news surfacing about me soon, i think. Um…I have done some reprehensible things. They’ve come back to bite me. Nothing I don’t deserve, but i want to make sure that harrison is impacted as little as possible.

Jack: Why don’t we stop dancing around the subject and you just tell me what it is you’ve done?

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Want a worry-free

way to kill bugs?

Victoria: Now, before you say no, just try to envision yourself as co-ceo, because, oh, you would be brilliant. We already work well together, so that transition would be perfectly seamless. And you know what? You are always telling me that i take on too much and I work too many hours, so what better way for me to ease up than for you to just jump right in and take some of this work off of my plate.

Nikki: Honey, I know you would be happy to do that, but would you let me? Because I get the feeling that this would be a promotion in name only, just to fend off adam.

Victoria: No. Mother, this is a sincere offer. I would be so excited to partner with you. We would have so much fun.

Nikki: Well, I don’t know how much fun it’ll be once your father finds out.

Victoria: I think it is the greatest idea. And you know what? Dad is gonna kick himself that he didn’t think of it.

Nikki: Alright, okay. Before we even entertain this idea, we have to think about the possible repercussions.

Victoria: I have already done that. I have, and they’re all positive. Mom, it would only strengthen the company.

Nikki: Adam’s not gonna be happy. He thinks he deserves more responsibility, and your father agrees. So do we really want to create more family drama just as the news about ashland is about to break?

Victoria: I am not going to let adam’s potential hurt feelings dictate my decisions. My hope is that we can keep the reason for ashland’s departure from becoming public knowledge.

Nikki: Well, we’ve been able to keep it quiet so far, but very soon, it’s gonna get out. So shouldn’t we prepare for that by presenting a united front to the world?

Victoria: Yes, and that is exactly what we would be doing. Our partnership would be a partnership that would have longevity. Look, if I cave in and I agree to work with adam, mom, how long do you think that’s gonna last, really? He’s gonna be continually trying to sabotage me and I will be playing defense, and then the entire family will have to choose sides. And then it will create this warfare. It will be an absolute disaster for the family and for the business. You know I’m right, don’t you?

Sally: Have you considered calling victoria’s bluff? Because I find it hard to believe that she would give up on her dream job just because she has to share it with her smart, capable brother.

Adam: Have you met my sister?

Victor: The last thing we need right now is a public conflict over control of the company.

Adam: So what does that mean for me? That there’s no chance of advancement and all these ideas that I have to further the company’s success are just gonna die?

Victor: Son, think this through for a minute. Victoria was ceo of newman/locke when she brought you on board, alright? She still is. Nothing has changed. What you have to show her now is that you are loyal to her, that she can trust you, that you will work with her. You have to convince her of your ideas — your very good ideas.

Adam: Well, it looks like i have my work cut out for me.

Victor: You do.

Ashland: I lied to victoria and to everyone about my cancer diagnosis. I was never sick. I never had cancer.

Jack: What? Why would you —

Ashland: To speed things along. The newman/locke merger, my marriage to victoria.

Jack: That is horrifying.

Ashland: Yes, it is. And when I think back on my recklessness and my…my cruelty, I am disgusted with myself.

Jack: I couldn’t care less how you feel. What about victoria? She opened her heart to you. She let you into her family. She thought you were going to die. I have lived through the death of a spouse. I have some idea of the anguish, of all she was preparing for. For your sake. Only to find out this was a hoax?

Ashland: It wasn’t entirely a hoax. I genuinely fell in love with victoria.

Jack: I don’t want to hear this. I’m sure victoria doesn’t either.

Ashland: I have agreed to have my marriage annulled. I have agreed to walk away from the company. I’m doing everything I can to make this as easy on her as possible. I — [ Sighs ] Even though I know it’s too little, too late.

Jack: Boy, there is a colossal understatement. I hope you’re going back to new york or wherever, and stay out of her life forever.

Ashland: That’s part of why i wanted to talk to you. I didn’t want to leave town without seeing harrison, and I’m worried about how kyle and summer might react when they hear the news.

Jack: You damn well should be.

Diane: I don’t expect you to trust me or believe me — not now, maybe never. And if that’s the case, I’ll have to accept it because i brought it on myself. Kyle, I — I deceived you when you were growing up with what in my mind were good intentions. I just — I wanted you to see the kind and loving version of myself, the one that made you the center of my universe.

Kyle: It worked. I thought you were the best mom ever.

Diane: Yeah, and that’s why i was so angry with phyllis when you read that exposé she had written detailing my exploits.

Kyle: Yeah, to be honest, I’ve never been able to reconcile the two versions of you. This sweet, sensitive, incredible mom that I knew and the version of you that I read and heard about. Who blackmailed people, committed arson, and destroyed relationships and never seemed to care.

Diane: You are seeing both sides of me now — the good and the very, very bad. So go ahead, I’m — I’m an open book. Ask me anything. If you have type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Billy: The majority of my listeners will never cross paths with the so-called elite of the business world. Well, consider yourself lucky. I had a run-in today with a man who shall remain nameless, a mogul who seemingly has everything and yet he still wants more and more. And he lies and manipulates to get it. I mean…this guy takes and takes until he sucks everyone around him dry, as if it’s gonna make him feel more powerful. I mean, if you ask me, it’s like he doesn’t trust his own business acumen so he has to lie and deceive to get his upper hand, causing pain to everyone close to him. And he thinks he’s gonna get away with it. And who knows, maybe he will. But if he does, if wealth and power offers a person blanket immunity, is that not an indictment on all of us?

Adam: Well, that diane thing kind of threw me.

Sally: Yeah, it was pretty crazy. But nothing you haven’t heard before, right? Or experienced? You and diane have that in common, the whole used-to-be-dead thing.

Adam: Well, there were quite a few similarities between diane and the man that I used to be.

Sally: Do tell.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Another time. Right now I’m more focused on what dad told us about victoria. I miscalculated. I thought dad was gonna be ready to throw her in the penalty box for the mess that she created with ashland.

Sally: Yeah, but instead, victor feels protective of her. Though it does make sense to me after the accident. He almost lost her.

Adam: Yeah, well, that hit him pretty hard.

Sally: But on the bright side, victor seems to have your back. He was championing you to victoria, and winning him over was definitely not a given. That is a huge accomplishment in and of itself, so now you only have to win your sister over.

Adam: Sure, no problem. Victoria is very stubborn. It’s a newman trait.

Sally: Well, you are very charming and persuasive. So those must be newman traits, too.

Adam: Well, I’ll see how far they can take me. Wish me luck.

Sally: You won’t need it.

Ashland: Look, I — I know what you must think of me. My behavior has been abhorrent. Except in one area — I have been a good father to harrison.

Jack: Oh, have you? You lied to that little boy about being sick.

Ashland: Jack, there are two people in this world I love, period. Harrison and victoria. Now, my wife may never forgive me, but I can’t lose my son. I will do whatever it takes to keep that boy in my life.

Jack: And you want me to advocate on your behalf to kyle. Why would you think I would want to do that?

Kyle: What kind of work did you do on yourself in la? When we talked before, you mentioned therapy.

Diane: Oh, I got a whole bunch of it. Along with everything else under the sun. Oh, but I — I finally found a psychologist who called me out on my crap. She really forced me to look at myself, and she had zero patience for my excuses.

Kyle: [ Sighs ] How’d that go?

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Well, uh, terribly at first. I was offended and indignant, and that first year, I stormed out of my sessions in a huff more often than not. But somewhere inside of me, i knew that what she was saying was true. You know, I wasn’t a victim. I was a narcissist. I made everything about myself. And through a lot of self-realization, I realized that that had gotten me nowhere. I mean, none of the things that I was so desperate to get — money and power and attention and affection — had ever come to me. You know, instead, my behavior had left me…broke and anonymous, invisible, and, um… alone. And worst of all, it cost me the one pure unselfish joy I had ever known — my life with you. My beautiful son. It was crushing. But it was also the first step on a long, hard road that eventually brought me back here to you, to ask you for your forgiveness.

Kyle: I can appreciate what you’re saying and understand how difficult it is to admit. But what if all the work you did still doesn’t get you what you want? What if I say no? She’s feeling the power of listerine.

Ashland: Jack, you and I are both at an age where we’ve seen a lot of life. We are both mature enough to recognize that people are complicated. We can do admirable things in one aspect of our lives and despicable things in another. Nothing is black and white.

Jack: I have heard enough of this sick, twisted reasoning lately. I’m done with it. You find somebody else to make your case.

Ashland: Okay. I understand. I will talk to kyle directly.

Jack: No, no, no, I would recommend you not do that, trust me. Now is not a good time to go to kyle seeking forgiveness.

Diane: Nothing’s going to happen if you turn me down. I’ll go back to la and I’ll leave you alone.

Kyle: Really? After all the effort you made to reunite with me?

Diane: You matter to me more than anything. But I’ve learned what a mistake it is to try and force people to give me things I didn’t deserve. And it never worked anyway. So you don’t owe me a thing. I’m grateful that you were open enough to hear me out. And would I love it if you were willing to forgive me and I had a place in your life? Of course I would. And I would also love the chance to try to make up for some of the hurt and damage that i caused.

Kyle: I just don’t know if that’s possible.

Diane: I know.

Kyle: I-I-it’s not that i don’t want what you say you want. I do. You’re my mother. I’ve never stopped loving you, and I’ve missed you every day since you’ve been gone, but I’m still trying to figure out if the version of you that i remember ever actually existed or if it was just an act you were putting on because you needed adoration from someone who was too young to know better.

Diane: Kyle, you have to know that my love for you was never an act. It was the only good part of myself.

Kyle: I think…I’m willing to leave the door open wide enough to give you a chance to prove you are who you say you are.

Diane: Really?

Kyle: Yes. Please don’t go back to la.

Diane: Oh, kyle.

[ Knock on door ]

Adam: Hey. I don’t mean to intrude, but i was hoping that you had a minute to talk.

Victoria: For you, I’ll make the time.

Adam: [ Clears throat ] Um…dad filled me in on your conversation. So I wanted to come by and clear the air. First of all, I want you to know that I was surprised to learn that he asked you to promote me as co-ceo.

Victoria: Mm-hmm.

Adam: If I had known, i would’ve asked him to hold off until you and I could have a conversation.

Victoria: And what conversation would that me?

Adam: The one where we hash out if we can work together. One where I could convince you that I could make a good partner.

Victoria: Are you going to offer me $500 million of someone else’s money to give you the promotion?

Adam: [ Scoffs ] Look, what I want to say is the company has almost doubled in size since the acquisition with ashland’s business holdings, and your workload is gonna increase by that much. You’re gonna need some help. I know that we’ve never been close. I know that you don’t trust me. No matter how much I try to support you and the family. There is just a whole lot of history in the way. I’m here to see what I can do to change that. And to show you that us working together could be a positive thing.

Nikki: I just had a very surprising conversation with victoria.

Victor: Oh. Surprising? Amazing how she keeps us always on the edge, doesn’t she?

Nikki: She does. Brace yourself, because you will find this very surprising as well.

Victor: What?

Nikki: She offered me a promotion.

Victor: Wait a minute, there’s only — only one title ahead of the one you have right now.

Nikki: That’s right. She offered me the co-ceo job. And I accepted.

Victor: Really? From the very first touch.

Victoria: You know, it doesn’t really matter how or when dad pitched me the idea of promoting you. I — I was never going to agree to it. However, I did listen to what you had to say, and you are right. My workload is going to increase. I actually might need some help now that ashland’s out of the picture.

Adam: Well, if the title thing is tripping you up, i don’t — I don’t need it, at least not now. I’m just happy to pitch in and look at this as an opportunity to see how well we could work together if we tried.

Victoria: Oh, I’m sorry if i gave you the wrong idea. I didn’t mean to imply that i needed your help. I’ve decided to take on a partner. Someone that I can trust.

Adam: You’re going to hire someone new as your co-ceo?

Victoria: Yes. In fact, I already have.

Adam: Who?

Victoria: Well, the only logical choice. My mother.

Nikki: I know you wanted adam for the job, but just think about it for a minute before you respond. My stepping into the position makes a lot of sense.

Victor: Mm-hmm. Very smart move on victoria’s part.

Nikki: Of course, you and i both know that it was the strategic move to keep adam out, but I will do an excellent job.

Victor: Yes, my baby, I’m sure you will. And you will lend this company the stability that it needs right now, desperately.

Nikki: So you won’t fight victoria on this?

Victor: No. If I impose my will on her, she will be very upset, and if i prefer adam over her, I’ll never hear the end of it.

Nikki: I’m happy you can see that.

Victor: Madame ceo.

Nikki: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: This makes me very happy. My beautiful wife running the company. Oh, boy.

Nikki: [ Chuckles ] I don’t think you have to worry.

Victor: I’m not.

Nikki: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: Because I’ll keep on looking over your shoulder. You know that.

Nikki: Like always.

Victor: Always.

Jack: How did it go? How was your talk with your mom?

Kyle: I’m not sure. I’m still conflicted. I threw a lot of questions at her, and she gave me what seemed to be honest answers.& It was intense. Um, dad…I told her I would give her a chance to prove herself to me.

Proofread by Anita

Robert: Oh.

Anna: Got it, ha-ha.

Robert: Ah.

Anna: Alright, let’s see what streaming on Hulu.

[ Television turns on, suspenseful music playing ]

Robert: But why bother when you know what you’ve got with a classic?

Anna: It’s called expanding your horizons.

Robert: It’s called wasting time.

Anna: Oh, gosh. You’re such a stick in the mud.

Robert: Yeah, and you love me for it. No, I don’t.

Anna: Uh, yeah, you do. I remember, it’s written somewhere.

[ Television beeping ]

Anna: [ Laughs ] Look at us. Can you?

Robert: Hmm.

Anna: We used to be facing down deadly assassins. Now we’re fighting over what to watch on tv.

Robert: There is a term for that.

Dull.

Robert: Nah, bliss.

Anna: Mm, yeah, you might be right.

Robert: Mm.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Anna: No.

Robert: That’s gotta be trouble at this hour.

Anna: Oh, I could do with some trouble.

Robert: Uh-huh. Turn the telly off.

[ Television turns off, music stops ]

Anna: [ Chuckles ] Come on. After you. Out of the way. Let’s see who this is. Oh.

Felicia: Is this a bad time?


Nina: Hey.

Phyllis: Hey. Is everything okay? Um… you sounded strange on the phone.

Nina: Well, it’s been an evening. Uh, Willow Tait’s mot– oh, what am I talking about? You know Harmony.

Phyllis: Formerly known as Lorraine?

Nina: Yeah. Well, she was rushed to the E.R. There was some kind of accident?

Phyllis: Oh, no. I hope she’s all right.

Nina: Yeah, so do I.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] We don’t need a reminder, but… life is so short. We have to grab every bit of joy from it that we can.

Nina: Yeah.


 

Frank: Everything okay, boss?

Sonny: Yeah. Yeah. Somebody reminded me tonight to carpe diem.

Frank: Seize the day. Good advice.

Sonny: Yeah. Good night, Frank.

Frank: Good night, sir.


 

Michael: I’ve been studying up on Paris, preparing for our trip. Yes, we’re going to go to the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower, but did you know that there is a museum solely dedicated to Monet?

Willow: Really?

Michael: Yeah. It’s on the outskirts of the city, and, uh, there is this huge, beautiful park right next to it. So we gotta go there. You know, it sounds like it rivals Central Park.

Willow: Then you know who would love it? Wiley.

Michael: Oh, yeah. Well, only if there’s dogs, because nothing is cool in Wiley’s world unless there’s dogs.

Willow: Right.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

Sasha: Willow. Uh, we’d like to wait with you, but—but if you don’t want us here, then we can—

Willow: No, no, of course I want you here. Yeah.

Sasha: Okay.

Willow: My mom’s awake, so that’s something.

Sasha: She is? That means that there’s hope, right?

Michael: There’s always hope.

Carly: Harmony, you’re not making any sense. Do you know where you are? It’s Carly. You’re in the hospital. You were in an accident. Do you remember?

Harmony: [ Gasping ] Willow.

Carly: Willow’s here. Do you need me to get her?

[ Monitors beeping ]

Harmony: You need… you need to protect her. No matter the cost.

Carly: Okay, of course. Of course I’ll protect Willow. From what?


 

Anna: I’m going to open a bottle of wine, and then we can stream, like, the hottest new show on Hulu.

Robert: Or better still, we have a few shots of single malt scotch and enjoy Bogie and Bacall.

Felicia: Would it be okay if we skip movie night?

Anna: What’s happened?

Felicia: Well, it’s such a beautiful night. Why don’t we go, like, take a look at the stars?

Anna: Okay.

Robert: Okay. Start talking.

Felicia: Is that the big dipper or the little dipper? I never can tell.

Anna: Alright, Miss Stargazer. What’s going on?


 

Phyllis: Yoo-hoo.

Nina: Oh, thank you.

Phyllis: Let me guess — you saw Sonny today.

Nina: Is it that obvious?

Phyllis: To me.

Nina: I don’t know, Phyllis. For so long, it seemed impossible.

Phyllis: And now?

Nina: And now… maybe there’s a way forward for Sonny and me. We just have to be brave enough to take it.

[ Door opens ]

Valentin: Apologies. The sign in that window says “open.” Is this a private party?

Nina: I think there’s room for one more.

Phyllis: If it’s okay with you, it’s okay with me.

Nina: Valentin, have a seat.

Valentin: Phyllis Caulfield. How are you?

Phillis: Good. And you?

Valentin: Maintaining.

Phyllis: Tea?

Valentin: I’ll take something stronger — bourbon, neat.

Phyllis: Coming right up.

Valentin: We meet again.

Nina: So we do.


Sonny: Hey, Frank.

Frank: Yes, sir.

Sonny: I heated up, uh, some of these, uh, meatballs. Uh, you gotta try one.

Frank: [ Sighs ] I appreciate it, sir, but —

Sonny: No, just come on in.

Frank: I-I can’t leave my post, sir. I’m sorry.

Sonny: Okay. I understand, but can you just — just try one?

Frank: As you wish, sir.

Sonny: For your boss?

Frank: Definitely. Mmm. Hm. That’s delicious.

Sonny: [ Laughs ] Told you.

Frank: Mmm.

Sonny: Right?

Frank: You sure you’re okay, boss?

Sonny: Yeah. Yeah. Just, I’m, uh… hard — you know, can’t sleep. But I’ll be fine.

Frank: Thank you, sir.

Sonny: Alright.

[ Door Closes ]

Sonny: [ Sighs ] [ Grunts ] [ Grunts ] [ Exhales deeply ] [ Sighs ]

Lenny: About time you arrive.


 

Harmony: [ Strained ] I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have attacked you, but I didn’t… [ Strained gasp ]

Carly: Harmony, I’m fine.

Harmony: I almost killed you.

Carly: But you didn’t.

Harmony: You’re the only one — [ Gasps] You and Michael are the only ones… and I almost ruined it. I ruin everything.

Carly: No, you don’t. You didn’t ruin Willow. She’s a beautiful young girl.

Harmony: I was so selfish.

Carly: Calm down. You need to calm down.

Harmony: I just [Gasps] Wanted to repair what I’d broken with Willow, and I should have told the truth… when I had the chance.


 

Felicia: There will be a lunar eclipse at the end of the month.

Anna: Good to know.

Felicia: Some call it a blood moon. There are some cultures where it’s considered a bad omen for pregnant women.

Anna: Well, that counts us out.

[ Crickets chirping ]

Anna: Oh, my God. You’re not…?

Mac: We just enjoyed being around Bailey so much. You know, it’s all the fun and none of the responsibility.

Robert: Except to keep the child safe and unharmed while the mother’s gone.

Mac: You know what I’m saying.

Robert: Yeah, I know what you mean. Being a granddad is great. Play with the kid, hand it back, go to bed.

Mac: Unless you don’t.

Robert: Uh, I’m not following.

Mac: What if… instead of the granddad, you’re the actual dad? What if you do the parenthood thing all over again?

Felicia: No! I’m not pregnant.

Anna: Oh, because for a second there, I thought —

Felicia: I think Mac wants a baby.

Robert: Will you stop talking in riddles and just get to the point?

Mac: I think Felicia wants a baby.

Robert: [ Laughing ]


 

Nina: Nice tan.

Valentin: [ Chuckles ] Thanks.

Nina: Wherever you’ve been, it looks good on you, Valentin. So, are you fully recovered? Back to your old self?

Valentin: Hope not. I’d like to think I’ve done some growing.

Nina: I’d like to think that, too. About me. Not about you. Well, maybe a little about you, too. How’s Charlotte?

Valentin: She’s wonderful.

Nina: Yeah. She seems like she’s really enjoying boarding school.

Valentin: You’ve been in touch with her?

Nina: Yeah, I’ve talked to her. And I have to admit, I was a little surprised. I didn’t think you had it in you to part with your little girl.

Valentin: It wasn’t easy. After peter abducted Charlotte, I wanted her far away from Port Charles and Victor.

Nina: Yeah, but wasn’t Victor the one that dropped her off at school? I’m only saying that because Charlotte made it a point to say she wished it had been you.

Valentin: I was laid up recuperating. I figured, at the very least, I could trust Victor with the drop off.

Nina: Don’t forget about me. I’m always here. Especially when it comes to Charlotte.

Valentin: I like that. And I’ll keep that in mind.


 

Sonny: Lenny?

Lenny: That’s right.

Sonny: This is the firehouse where I used to dance with Nina.

Lenny: Sure is. And once again, your wardrobe is lacking. Good thing I came prepared. It’s yours. Might as well take it. Oh. Perfect fit.

Sonny: [ Chuckles ] This is not real. I-I-I can’t be here. Is this…?

Lenny: Oop, oop. Give me one good reason.

Sonny: First of all, you’re dead, Lenny.

Lenny: Look who’s talking. When you crawled out of that river, weren’t you a goner? A funeral thrown for you back home and everything?

Sonny: Yeah, that was different.

Lenny: All depends on how you look at it. And it looks to me like you could use a stiff one. What’s your poison these days, Mike?

Sonny: Club soda.

Lenny: Come again?

Sonny: Oh, things have changed since the last time I saw you.

Lenny: Good thing I’ve got nothing but time. Why don’t you start from the beginning, when you went back to Port Charles?


Willow: Thank you guys for being here. It means a lot.

Michael: We wouldn’t be anywhere else.

Sasha: We love you.

Brando: And if there’s anything that we can do, at all…

Willow: Trust me, you’re doing it.

Carly: I get it. I really do. I was raised by my adoptive mother, but it wasn’t kept a secret. Harmony, the longer you take to say it out loud, the harder it’s going to be to say it.

Harmony: If I had just been brave enough, it wouldn’t have gone this far.

Carly: You mean with Neil?

Harmony: No. If I had just told the truth… there would have been more time. Things would have been different, but now it’s gone too far. And Willow isn’t safe with her. And now Willow… can never know.


 

Anna: Look, Bailey is the most adorable little baby, and I can completely understand Mac wishing to have one exactly like her, but —

Felicia: maybe it’s more than just wishing.

Anna: You think he’s serious about having another child?

Felicia: I don’t know.

Anna: Or adopting one?

Felicia: I mean, we haven’t gotten that far yet, and I’m not even sure what he’s saying. I’m — I’m just — I’m getting this vibe.

Anna: What about your vibe?

Felicia: What?

Anna: Well, I mean, Mac may want to raise another child, but do you want to, really?

Robert: Okay. Now, have we got that all out of our system?

Mac: Thank you.

Robert: Good. Because it’s my turn. I got a story. This is about an old man who becomes a father. Except he thinks that the diaper that needs changing is his own.

Mac: Ha-ha.

Robert: Hey, seriously. I’ll never forget the fact that you raised my little girl at a time that I couldn’t.

Mac: Helping to raise Robin was one of the ultimate joys of my life, and I will always think of Maxie and Georgie as mine. But Felicia and I, we never — we never were able to bring up a kid together.

Robert: W-wait, wait. This isn’t just Felicia? You want this, too?


 

Sonny: I still can’t believe that Carly and I are divorced. I thought we would last, you know, until…

Lenny: “until death do us part”?

Sonny: [ Chuckles ]

Lenny: Mm. Take it from me — death is easy compared to divorce. Phyllis can still put flowers on my grave, think of me when they’re playing our song, remember the two of us at our best, and not our worst.

Sonny: I envy her that.

Lenny: You have kids? How are they taking it?

Sonny: Well, uh, they’re young. Donna and Avery, you know, they’re a bit confused, but they miss Carly. But Carly’s really good at seeing them as much as possible.

Lenny: They’ll be all right.

Sonny: My son, who’s having a big problem with it, he’s grown up, but it’s — it’s put a strain on our relationship.

Lenny: What’s his name?

Sonny: Michael.

Lenny: Michael. I like that name. Is he in the “family business”?

Sonny: He wanted to be at some point, but I — I shut it down. And now, forget about it. He don’t even… he don’t even want any part of me or my life.

Lenny: Don’t give up on him. That’s an order.

Sonny: No, I would never give up on my son. But… he’s given up on me.

Lenny: What, just because you’re not with his mother anymore?

Sonny: That’s part of it.

Lenny: And what’s the other part?

Sonny: Nina.


 

Nina: [ Laughs ] Really?

Valentin: She’s already made the equestrian team. You should ask her about it next time you talk to her.

Nina: Oh, I definitely will. And I am truly impressed. I mean, I’m sure that the competition was fierce. An elite European boarding school?

Valentin: An elite European boarding school where the students not only ride, but they have their own string of expensive horses.

Nina: Fancy. Exactly my point. And she rode one of the horses at the school and she still made the team! Your daughter is a very talented rider, a true competitor.

Valentin: No argument there.

Nina: Okay. Now out with it.

Valentin: Out with what?

Nina: How badly do you miss her?

Valentin: Desperately. I miss her desperately.

Nina: Oh. Is there, like, a parents’ weekend or something like that coming up?

Valentin: I don’t know. I hope so. I’ll have to check the, uh, school website.

Nina: And it must have been really hard for you after everything that happened with Bailey.

Valentin: Yeah, I loved her.

Nina: I know you did.

Valentin: But I’ve come to appreciate that Brook Lynn did what she had to do. It was the right thing to protect Maxie’s daughter from Peter.

Nina: But it’s painful. I can see it in your eyes. You know that I know what it’s like to lose a child. But it’s even more painful when it turns out that she was never yours.


 

Sasha: [ Sniffles ]

[ Pill case snaps shut ]

Sasha: Do you even realize… if you would have taken one of these and they found it in your system? No. You have been given a second chance. Don’t blow it.

Sasha: [ Inhales sharply ]

[ Toilet flushes ]

[ Knock on door ]

Brando: Sasha? You okay?

[ Knock on door ]

Sasha: Yeah. I’ll be right there.

Willow: God, I’m just so aware of it now.

Michael: Of what?

Willow: All the time I kept my mom at arm’s length. Not that she didn’t deserve to be, though it was always more about protecting myself than it was about punishing my mom.

Michael: No, Willow, you had every right to want to distance yourself.

Willow: But now it’s just staring me in the face. My mom could be dying, and I can, like, feel it on my heart, all the time I could have spent with her, all the things I could have said to her. I know I made the right decision for myself back then.

Michael But you still wish you could get that time back.

Willow: So much.

Carly: Who can never know? Willow can never know that she’s adopted?

Harmony: She loves too much, too hard. She’s obsessive and possessive. She’ll try to take her away from Michael. She — she’s dangerous.

Carly: Are you talking about Willow’s biological mother? Do you know who she is?

Harmony: She’s… she’s bad for Willow, and Willow knows it. She hates her.

Carly: Willow knows this person?

Harmony: She was… one of two. My Willow, she had another half.

Carly: Had another half? Was Willow a twin?

Harmony: Nelle…

Carly: Nelle? Oh, my god. Nina is Willow’s biological mother?


 

Harmony: [ Strained ] You need to protect her. Nina’s love will smother her. Please, Carly.

[ Monitors alarming ]

Harmony: Please.

Carly: We’ll take care of her, I promise you. Willow will be okay; I promise you that.

Harmony: [ Hyperventilating ]

[ Monitors alarming ]

TJ: Carly, move. Ms. Miller? No pulse.

Amy: Pads are ready.

TJ: Charge.

[ Paddles whine ]

Nurse: Charging loaded.

TJ: Clear.

[ Monitors continue alarming ]

TJ: One, two, three, four… five, six, seven, eight…

Amy: I’m going to get the ambu bag ready.


 

Valentin: You know I will always regret what I’ve done to you — using Sasha to manipulate your emotions to win your heart back.

Nina: Well, the irony is, you already had my heart.

Valentin: I know.

Nina: But now I can see that your intentions were good.

Valentin: You can?

Nina: Yeah. You just wanted to give me the… the one thing that I was missing in my life. It’s a beautiful sentiment.

Valentin: Poorly executed.

Nina: Oh, poorly executed.

Valentin: And, ironically, Nelle was in town the whole time.

Nina: It’s crazy, right? I-I still can’t believe that Nelle was my daughter and everything that played out after that — that I discovered that Carly kept the truth from me, and that she had a hand in Nelle’s death. It set a chain of events in motion that continues to this day.

Valentin: Sonny Corinthos… is he a link in that chain?


 

Lenny: Hallelujah! You finally got up the gumption to tell Nina how you feel about her.

Sonny: Well, let me tell you something. I don’t know what we are. We’re — Nina and I are just kind of like a slow dance for now.

Lenny: Oh, you and your slow dances. They’re nice and all, but what do they get you?

Sonny: Take it easy, there, Lenny.

Lenny: Or what? I’ll bust a blood vessel? Uh, been there, done that.

Sonny: [ Laughs ]

Lenny: Yeah? You listen up. If you keep waiting for the right moment, next thing you know, you’ll be turning up daisies like yours truly.

Sonny: You know, I always appreciated you and Phyllis’ love. I mean, it was real, honest. Not always perfect, but it was tough…

Lenny: Mm-hmm.

Sonny: …Like you can go through anything in life. What’s — what’s the secret?

Lenny: No secret. You just try to give more than you get, that’s all. And if you both do that, you can’t lose.

Sonny: Well, you know who gave me a gift? Nina.

Lenny: Yeah?

Sonny: Yeah. It’s a long story, but she’s not making me take sides against my son.

Lenny: That’s some gift.

Sonny: So what are you giving her in return?


 

[ Paddles whine ]

TJ: Clear!

[ Monitors alarming ]

TJ: One, two, three. Another dose of epi. Six, seven, eight. Run the IV wide. 11, 12, 13, 14. Come on, Harmony. 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21. Don’t quit on us! 22, 23, 24, 25… 26, 27, 28, 29, 30.

Amy: Administering PPV. One, two…

[ Flatline ]

Amy: She’s in asystole.

TJ: [ Panting, sniffles ] Time of death, 10:53 P.M. [ Exhales sharply ] [ Exhales deeply ]

[ Telephones ringing in distance ]

Brando: Hi. This hospital holds painful memories. But if there’s good news tonight…

Sasha: I know. It’s a beginning.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Michael: Mom?

Carly: You need to get back to the ICU.


 

Felicia: I’m not sure how I feel about raising a child at this stage of my life. I mean, let’s face it, I’m a grandmother of three.

Anna: Oh, yes. But don’t let that be the thing to stop you. You’re very young at heart, and in all the ways that count.

Felicia: Well, thank you for saying that.

Anna: I mean it. [ Sighs ] Gosh. If this really is something that you and Mac both want…

Felicia: Well, that’s just it. I’m not sure. I don’t know.

Anna: Uh, don’t you think this is a conversation you should be having with your husband?

Felicia: Ya think?

Anna: Yeah.

Felicia: [ Sighs ] Mac and I have shared so many adventures. Raising a child together isn’t one of them.

Anna: Whatever you decide, I’ll always be in your corner.

Felicia: Thank you. Well, maybe it’s all in my head. A kid? That’s probably the last thing Mac wants. [ Laughs ]

Mac: Maybe I’ve got it all wrong. Maybe the last thing Felicia wants is a baby.

Robert: Well, there’s one way to find out. Let’s go and ask her. Come on.

Mac: What?! No, don’t. You better not, I swear. If you say anything —

Robert: What are you gonna do? [ Laughs ]

[ Door opens ]

Robert: Ladies. What’s it like out there?

Anna: It’s breathtaking. How’s the whiskey?

Robert: Mmm. Breathtaking.


 

Sonny: You’re absolutely right, Lenny.

Lenny: Tell me something I don’t know.

Sonny: Well, look, Nina is putting me ahead of her own interests. I should do something for her.

Lenny: Then what are you waiting for, huh? Get out of here.

Sonny: Alright.

Lenny: [ Chuckles ]

Sonny: But how do I get out of here? What, am I gonna catch the next plane? I mean, how do I get home? Lenny? Where’d you go? Lenny! Come back, Lenny! Come back!

Frank: Boss, what’s the problem?

Sonny: Uh… [ Sighs ] Man. [ Scoffs ]


 

Nina: What Sonny and I had, that was in Nixon Falls. Now that we’re back in Port Charles, he has a life, he has a family, he has responsibilities, and so do I.

Valentin: Sounds very sensible and thought out, and I don’t believe a word of it.

Nina: Excuse me?

Valentin: The tone of your voice changes when you mention his name.

Nina: D-don’t tell me that you’re jealous. [ Chuckles ]

Valentin: When you say his name, there is a notable change in the tone of your voice, and that tells me that you’re more than just two people living separate lives.

Nina: And I’m sure you’re going to tell me your opinion on all this.

Valentin: [ Sighs ] Whatever happens — maybe you get everything you want, maybe it comes crashing down — I want you to know… you can count on me.

Nina: I’ll keep that in mind.


Sasha: I really thought that Willow’s mom was going to be okay, that she was going to make it.

Brando: Hey, we don’t know anything yet, okay? M-maybe she’s gone into surgery, she’s taken a turn for the worse and —

Sasha: Or I could have killed her.

Brando: Hey, it was an accident. Listen to me. Willow knows that. Everyone knows that.

Sasha: Why is this happening?

Willow: Oh, my god. She’s gone, isn’t she?

TJ: We did everything we could. Willow, w-we did everything we could. I’m so sorry.

Willow: [ Crying ]


 

Felicia: Oh, no, thank you. We should probably call it a night.

Mac: Busy day tomorrow.

Robert: Yeah. You should get the rest while you can.

Felicia: What’s that supposed to mean?

Robert: Chief of detectives. On call 24/7, right?

Felicia: Look, okay, well, good night.

Robert: Good night.

Felicia: Forget everything I said. Probably my imagination.

Anna: Okay.

Mac: Dinner soon?

Anna: Yes, absolutely. Yes. Yeah.

Robert: Drive safe.

Anna: Bye. Bye.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

[ Crickets chirping ]

Mac: [ Sighs ] Hey, is that the big dipper or the little dipper?

Felicia: Huh. That’s the same thing I asked Anna. Do you think it would be okay to make a wish, even if it’s the wrong constellation?

Mac: I don’t see why not.

Felicia: [ Sighs ]

Mac: Felicia…

Felicia: Shh! Don’t say anything, otherwise it won’t come true.

Robert: To Mac and Felicia.

Anna: May they get everything they wish for.

Robert: Hmm. May the person who gets the remote get everything they want.

Anna: Ooh!


Sonny: I just drifted off for a second. Everything’s fine.

Frank: Bad dream?

Sonny: Actually, uh, it was a good dream. Good night, frank.

Frank: Good night, sir.

Sonny: [ Sighs ]

[ Telephone line ringing ]

[ Voicemail beeps ]

Nina: Hi, this is Nina. I can’t take your call right now, but please leave a message, and I’ll call you right back.

[ Voicemail beeps ]

Sonny: Hi, Nina. It’s Sonny. I-I just wanted to say that, uh, I was so happy to see you tonight, and, uh, I can’t wait to see you very, very soon.


 

Valentin: Thank you for your hospitality.

Phyllis: Anytime.

Valentin: Walk you to your car?

Nina: Wow, that’s very chivalrous of you this evening.

Valentin: I’m always chivalrous.

[ Women laughing ]

Nina: Hey, thank you for the tea.

Phyllis: Uh-huh.

Nina: And I will talk to you tomorrow.

Phyllis: Sounds good.

Nina: Okay.

Valentin: After you.

Nina: Wow. Again, being chivalrous.

Valentin: It’s kind of an affliction.

[ Light switch clicks ]

Phyllis: [ Gasps ]


 

Willow: [ Crying ] The — could I just, um… could I have a minute alone with her?

TJ: Yeah, you take — you take as much time as you need, okay?

Willow: [ Sniffles ] [ Crying ]

Michael: I can… I can wait out here.

Willow: Come with me?

Michael: Anywhere.

Sasha: Oh, God.

TJ: It’s — it’s a good thing you’re here. Willow’s gonna need her friends now more than ever.

Willow: I need you to know that I forgive you and I love you… so much more than you probably ever realized. Do you remember our picnic in that meadow in Colorado? When you braided my hair, you put all those wildflowers in it. [ Sniffles ] I don’t know if I’ve ever felt so beautiful or free. There were good memories, too, okay? Filled with magic, laughter… love. Those are the ones I’ll tell Wiley about. You hold on tight to them, Mom. I will, too. [ Crying ]

Harmony: You have to protect her. Nina’s love will smother her. Please, Carly. Please.

Carly: It’s okay. We got her. Willow is going to be okay.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Violet (to Chase): You can never have too many tea parties.

Brook Lynn (on phone): It’s so good to hear your voice.

TJ (to Britt): It was worse than I could ever imagine.

Terry (to Elizabeth): I do have something to confess. You’re not gonna like it.

Sonny (to Dante): What are you saying? I’m vulnerable or my business is vulnerable?

Michael (to Carly): I don’t know how to predict Willow from the fallout.

Willow: What was my mother trying to hide?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Leo: You asked what the hell I wanted. The truth is, I spent my whole life wanting things– money, power, alamainian emeralds. But now I’ve come to realize there’s only one thing I want. And that’s you.

Nancy: Now, you know, bonnie, I really thought that I would’ve been the last person that craig wanted to see. Yeah. But I’m so glad I went. Uh-huh. No. You know, when I got there, he was such a hot mess. Yeah. But we sat and we talked, and we realized that after everything we’ve both been through, that we’re still friends. Yeah. No, no. Then leo showed up.

[Laughs] No one has ever accused leo of not having nerve. Yeah. And th– clyde? You mean the jerk who was going to take me out on my first date and then I never heard from him again, that clyde? I’m telling you right– oh, I’m so sorry. You.

Jack: What are you talking about?

Abigail: You know, based on his reaction, I’m assuming you didn’t tell him what you shared with me before rafe led you to the squad car. So did you want to tell him, or should I? I didn’t think so, because, you know, you never want to admit you’ve done anything until you’ve already been caught.

Jack: Abigail, what are you talking about?

Abigail: This is about the fact that grandma laura’s death was not an accident. Was it? She told me that she killed grandma laura on purpose.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Jack: Is that true?

Gwen: Course it isn’T. She must’ve misheard what I said.

Abigail: I heard you very clearly. Her exact words were, and I quote, “oh, and by the way, your precious grandmother, I killed that bitch on purpose.”

Jack: God. My god.

Gwen: Was last night not enough fun for you, abigail? Did you wake up this morning and think, ooh. How can I hurt gwen more? How can I make her pay even more?

Jennifer: You do realize that you really, really are not the victim here, right? But my mother was your victim. Or should I say one of your victims?

Jack: Why didn’t you say anything about this last night?

Abigail: Because I felt like you had already been through enough.

Gwen: Or you hadn’t thought it up yet.

Jennifer: Oh, yeah. Rafe had you in cuffs and he was leading you away, and I saw you, you whispered something in abigail’s ear, and I doubt you were complimenting her dress.

Gwen: It’s a problem I have. I don’t like someone else having the last word.

Jack: Why did you choose to tell me now?

Jennifer: Because I told her she had to, jack. You have to know. We are now talking about murder.

Jack: Are we? Did you kill laura?

Nancy: You know what? I take it back. When I stepped on your foot, I wish I’d broken every one of your metatarsals. Bonnie, look, I’ll call you back. I got to get out of here.

Clyde: Come on, nancy, wait.

Nancy: Wait? I have waited for you, clyde. I waited all day yesterday for you to call like you said you would.

Clyde: I know. I’m sorry about that, but there was a reason.

Nancy: Yeah. And I know what it is. You don’t want to date me, but you’re too much of a coward to tell me.

Clyde: No, my son, ben, he went missing.

Nancy: I–is he okay? Did they find him?

Clyde: Yeah, eventually. He was chained up in the dimera crypt.

Nancy: [Laughs] Okay. He was chained up in the dimera crypt? Oh, wh–wait. Did stefano dimera come back from the dead again?

[Gasps]

Clyde: No, it was the devil.

Nancy: [Laughs] Oh. And how is he doing?

Clyde: Listen, I know it sounds crazy, but it’s not funny. We found ben, but we have no idea where his wife is, and she’s about to have a baby. What we do know is the devil has kidnapped her.

Nancy: Y–you know, clyde, if you don’t want to date me, you don’t have to recycle old tales from the crypt.

Clyde: I swear on the life my unborn grandson that I am telling the truth. But if you don’t believe me, take a look at this.

Chad: I’m gonna kill him.

Sonny: Okay.

Chad: I’m gonna find leo stark, and I am gonna kill him.

Sonny: Chad.

Chad: I’m gonna get rolf to bring him back from the dead so I can kill him again.

Sonny: Buddy, hey. You’re gonna have to calm down.

Chad: Calm dow–how am i supposed to calm down when this is on the front page of the paper?

Sonny: I mean, it does make you look pretty busty.

Chad: Really?

Sonny: [Laughing] What?

Chad: It’s not the time to be funny, all right. You know what it is? Right now would be a good moment for us to reflect upon the fact that all of this humiliation and degradation that I am going through and continue to go through in this whole gay fantasia is your fault.

Sonny: Chad. It’s a picture of you in drag, okay? It’s not that big of a deal. It’s not degrading. It’s not humiliating–

Chad: The story is.

Sonny: What–what story?

Chad: The exclusive that leo stark gave to “the intruder.” Listen to this. Listen. “When I first met chad dimera in phoenix, there was an instant attraction between us.” In his dreams. “Even though he was a married man, he insisted we go out to a gay club. And after a wild night of drinking and dancing, the two of us ended up in bed together.” You know, and he leaves out the very pertinent fact that he crawled into my bed like a slug. I mean, the little creep outed me. And I wasn’t even in!

Leo: I want you back, craig. I want you to forgive me, and I want you to marry me.

Craig: Sorry. You already have a husband.

Leo: I told you, I only married darius so he could get his green card. He begged me to help him. Do you know how cold those winters are in canada? They are hell on his complexion, which is not her strong suit to begin with.

Craig: And why in god’s name would I care about any of this now?

Leo: Because I need to make you see I don’t love darius or any other man. I love you.

Nancy: [Chuckles] So you really expect a picture of chad dimera in drag to convince me that the devil made you not call me?

Clyde: What? No, no, no. That’s the wrong story. Here.

Nancy: [Sighs] “Crypt captive baby daddy rescued: Pregnant wife now missing”? Oh, clyde. You must be so worried.

Clyde: Appreciate that. But I’m really sorry about the dinner.

Nancy: No, no. It’s okay. I mean, you’ve got so much on your mind and, well, you just forgot.

Clyde: I was hoping that I could maybe make it up to you if you’ve got the time, and could take you out to lunch.

Nancy: But what about your son and your daughter-in-law?

Clyde: Well, police are looking for her, and ben would rather be alone right now. He’s always been that way. Unlike me, who likes company. Especially nice company, like you.

Nancy: [Spluttering] I would love to, yes.

Clyde: Well, good. Hope you don’t mind brady pub. I do have an employee discount over there.

Nancy: That would be fine.

Clyde: Good. Then you can tell me all about your ex-husband’s wedding.

Craig: Leo, I have heard you say “I love you” a million times. But I know that you were lying to me from the second we met. I–I don’t know why I would believe you now, hm.

Leo: You should believe me because of your feet.

Craig: My feet?

Leo: Yes. Your feet. When they hurt after a long shift at the hospital, I rub them for you. And when you order some drink you can’t stand, some fruity something, I trade my scotch and soda, no complaints. When you’re driving me around, I touch the back of your head, and I curl your hair into those little circles because I know how much you like it. Those are just some of the little ways that I show I love you. But there’s also a big way. You should know that I love you because for the first time in my life, I admitted that I did something wrong and I apologized. I’m sorry I lied to you. I’m sorry I seduced you and tried to marry you for your money. I am sorry for so many things. But there is one thing I am not sorry for.

Craig: And what’s that? Hm?

Leo: Even if we are through, I am not sorry that I fell in love with you. Because our time together have been the best days of my life.

Gwen: I’m telling you the truth.

Jennifer: He has your word on that? But really, I mean, what is your word worth? There’s no one in this room that would believe anything that you would say right now, gwen.

Gwen: My father asked me a question. Are you going to let me answer it?

Jennifer: Yeah, yeah. But first, can I remind you that we already talked about this? You swore to me that my mother’s death was an accident. And I believed you. You looked me in the eye and you told me that you were sorry, that it wasn’t intentional. And I–I accepted that. I–I accepted you as part of our family. So back then, was that the truth or not? Life’s been hard enough.

Gwen: I was telling you the truth that day. Your mother’s death was an accident.

Abigail: Which compels me to reiterate that that’s not what you said to me at the wedding. Unless, of course, I managed to misinterpret “I killed that bitch on purpose.”

Gwen: No, you heard exactly what I wanted you to hear, and you took it just the way I wanted you to take it.

Abigail: But why would you say something like that if it wasn’t true?

Gwen: Can you not comprehend that I wanted to hurt you? I mean, really, are you so perfect that you can’t understand a base impulse?

Jack: So that was a lie?

Gwen: Yes, it was a lie. Look, we all know that she is wonderful and that I am dirt. But she said that she would be my matron of honor. She said she’d be my sister, and I believed her. But instead she used my wedding as a way to kill any chance that I would ever at being happy, to make sure that I would lose xander, to make sure I would lose my father. I was handcuffed, so I couldn’t exactly punch her, could I? So instead, I punched her with my words.

Chad: “It was clear that since that fabulous night to remember, chad could not forget about me. When I returned to salem, he left his wife and small children at home and came knocking at my hotel room door drunk and begging me for sex.”

Sonny: Chad, I’m–

Chad: Shut up. There’s more. “Earlier, his soon-to-be cuckolded wife, abigail dimera–” that’s great. He took a swipe at her. She’s gonna love that. “Abigail dimera confided to me that chad was obsessed with me.” As I recall, that was another one of your ideas. You were full of wonderful ideas that night, weren’t you?

Sonny: I know. Mea culpa. All right? Mea culpa.

Chad: “But I rejected chad’s desperate pleas for a one-on-one liaison because I was engaged and in love with another man.”

Sonny: Wh– who are you calling?

Chad: Who do you think I am calling? I am calling my lawyer, so I can sue “the intruder” and leo for libel.

Sonny: Are you sure you want to do that?

Craig: Are you trying to play me again, leo?

Leo: I’ve always been a player. But in this particular moment, I’m being perfectly straight with you. Poor choice of words.

Craig: You are actually gay, aren’t you?

Leo: Now, that would be quite the con, huh? But you more than anybody should know, I am gay.

Craig: You said you fell in love with me, but when we first met–

Leo: You were just another mark.

Craig: Yeah.

Leo: I could tell you were closeted, so I lured you out with every intention of marrying you, divorcing you, and taking you for every penny you had. I would’ve succeeded too, had it not been for will, sonny, chad, brady, and your daughter, chloe.

Nancy: I guess you could say that craig and leo’s wedding didn’t go off without a hitch. But then again, maybe– maybe it did.

Clyde: I have no idea what that means, but I look forward to you explaining it to me over lunch. Shall we?

Chloe: Mom?

Nancy: Oh, hi, honey.

Chloe: What the hell are you doing with this guy? Find your beat

Nancy: Chloe, language. Clyde, this is my daughter and her boyfriend, brady black. Oh, is it all right if I call you her boyfriend?

Brady: Yeah, yeah, that’s– that’s fine by me.

Nancy: Oh, good. Well, this is clyde weston.

Chloe: Yeah, we know who he is.

Nancy: Oh, good. Then you should know we are about to go on our first date.

Chloe: Over my dead body.

Chad: Well, the way I see it, I have two options. I can kill him or I can sue him.

Sonny: Okay, look, I really don’t think you want to do that.

Chad: Yes, sonny, I really do want to do that.

Sonny: Okay, look, in order to sue for libel, there has to be false statement purporting to be fact. Technically, everything in this article, everything that you and abigail said and did is true. You did try to seduce leo.

Chad: Yeah, because you pleaded with me to do it. Once again, this was your fault. Actually, you know what, sonny? This was my fault, okay? Because I let you talk me into what I knew to be a deeply, truly horrible idea.

Leo: No matter what they did to try and break us up, I was always one step ahead of them. And I would’ve gotten away with it too, had it not been for those meddling kids.

Craig: Scooby-doo?

Leo: Getting up early on sunday mornings to watch old saturday morning cartoons with you. Another example of how I love you.

Craig: Or two cases of arrested development.

Leo: It just got scary, how much we have in common, how easy it was to be with you, how fun.

Craig: And my money had nothing to do with how easy it all was?

Leo: Well, I won’t deny it. I liked your money too. I tell you, that prenup chloe had drawn up was a stroke of genius. A move I did not anticipate. When I saw it, my first thought was, game over. There’s nothing I can do but walk away. There’s nothing left in this for me.

Craig: Then why did you sign it, hm?

Leo: I signed it because in that moment, when given the choice between giving up everything that I had worked for, everything that you had worked for, I didn’t care about losing any of it. I didn’t care that darius was gonna be furious with me. I only cared about losing you. And now, the million-dollar question. Do you believe me? I think you do. But you don’t have to answer that question. Answer this one instead. Can you forgive me? Can we please start over?

Abigail: Why should we believe you, hm? After all of the horrible things that you have done to our family, it is hardly a stretch to think that you could’ve killed grandma laura. You drugged me. It took me months to recover, but I did; I was lucky. But poor sarah? You made sure she got a second dose of the drug. She may never be herself ever again.

Jack: Actually, there’s reason for hope. Gwen told xander where he could find rolf’s antidote. She’s doing what she can to undo the harm.

Abigail: [Scoffs] So what, am I– am I just supposed to act like she’s mother teresa now? Or dad, maybe her back is up against the wall, she’s actually having to pay for something that she’s done, and this is just some last minute sympathy. You know, I sure hope that maggie and xander take the time to test whatever it is you led them to.

Gwen: Do you really think–

Abigail: That you would do it again? Yes. I do. You know why? Because you have made it very clear that anybody who is loved by anyone that you think is supposed to love you is fair game. I think you would be willing to hurt sarah now more than you ever have.

Gwen: You said your piece. Now, I’d like a moment alone with my father, please.

Abigail: I bet you would.

Jennifer: Jack. I will support any decision that you make right now. But I want you to know that I will never trust that woman to be a part of our family ever again.

Gwen: You said at the wedding that you were done with me. And now, today, there’s even more damning evidence against me. So I take it nothing’s gonna change your mind about me. Right?

Jack: You’ll always be my daughter.

Gwen: Yeah, you’re talking biologically.

Jack: No. When laura sent your mother away, she made you think that I turned my back on you, that I knew about you, but went on living my life pretending you didn’t exist. I never chose to do that.

Gwen: So– so we can move past this?

Jack: I will always be your father. But after what you did to sarah, and to abigail, I honestly don’t know what kind of a family we could ever be.

[Dramatic music]

Nancy: Chloe, I know it’s hard to see me moving on from your father, but what’s good for the gander is good for the goose. Especially when the gander likes ganders.

Chloe: Oh, mom, I don’t care that you’re dating. It’s who you’re dating. This guy just got out of prison.

Nancy: I know that. Clyde told me. You know, listen, men can change who they are. And clyde said he’s changed, and I believe him. Now, shall we go? I’m starving.

Chloe: Ugh, why am I getting a feeling of déj vu? I just–I’ve spent the last few months trying to stop one parent from dating the wrong person, and now I have to do the same with the other parent?

Brady: Look, I was here for you when it was leo and your dad, so I’m gonna be here for you with clyde and your mom.

Chloe: Thank you. At least I know I’m dating the right person.

Chad: Well, then if I can’t sue him, I’m gonna give my own interview. I’ll tell everyone that leo stark is a bigamist.

Sonny: Chad, you really want to sink down to his level?

Chad: Yes, he hit me below the belt. It’s time to return the favor.

Sonny: I’m telling you, I–I really just think you should let this go. Okay, stories like this, they tend to just fizzle out on their own. You would just be adding fuel to the fire.

Chad: Oh, yeah? That’s easy for you to say. You’re not even mentioned in the article.

Sonny: Wait, what? You’re right.

Chad: Yeah. Why is that? Why didn’t leo come after you? Maybe leo was right. Maybe that’s why you didn’t come to the wedding.

Sonny: Don’t even infer that. Okay, I told you, I had a business meeting. Okay, and besides, you heard what he said. Leo was going after everyone who came between him and craig. And I have a sickening feeling you were just the first one on the list.

Craig: I do believe you love me, leo. Part of me wants to forgive you and take you in my arms and hold you and never let you go.

Leo: But?

Craig: But I don’t trust you. And trust is something that matters to me. I took a huge leap of faith to be with you. I had to stop living a lie, a lie that I was telling myself and telling the world.

Leo: That’s a good thing, craig.

Craig: Yeah. But in the process, I tore apart my family, and I hurt the only woman I ever loved, just to love you.

Leo: Does that mean you’re going back to be with nancy?

Craig: No. I am gay. And I will never hide that again.

[Sighs] But you and I, we’re done. I left your stuff downstairs.

[Soft dramatic music]

Leo: Do you hate me?

Craig: No, leo, I don’t hate you. But I cannot be with you. But because of you, I can now be myself. Goodbye, kiddo. With all that’s happened, I– I don’t regret loving you.

[Dramatic music]

Brady: Sonny.

Sonny: Hey.

Brady: I just saw the article in which leo outed chad.

Sonny: Yeah, I was there when chad saw it, and it was not pretty.

Brady: Yeah. Yeah. I’ll admit, I mean, when I saw the picture, it was– it was kind of funny, but then I read the article, and I’ll tell you, that leo, he’s quite the creep. I mean, every one of those lies was calculated to hurt.

Sonny: Yeah, well, that’s leo for you. He didn’t just go after chad. He went after his marriage, his family.

Brady: Yeah, which is odd. I think it’s odd because why wouldn’t he–why wouldn’t he go after me or chloe? Why chad?

Sonny: Or me.

Leo: Well, don’t worry. You’re next. And in case you’re feeling left out, brady, once I’m done with sonny boy here, you and you vacuous little girlfriend will then be next.

Chloe: Dad, hey, I got your text. I was starting to think that you maybe never wanted to see me again.

Craig: Oh, now you know that was never gonna happen.

Chloe: I know last night was awful; I’m sorry.

Craig: It’s okay; there’s no need for a postmortem. Leo and I have said our goodbyes.

Chloe: Again, I’m sorry.

Craig: It’s okay. I know I was upset last night.

Chloe: And you had every right to be.

Craig: Ah, but, having had time to think, I realized that everything you did, you had reason for. You did everything because you love me.

Chloe: I do. And I swear that’s why I did it.

Craig: I know.

Chloe: Unfortunately, I have a lot of experience in putting my life back together again, so if you need me to talk you through it, you know?

Craig: I’m okay. Thanks, honey.

Chloe: Have you eaten anything? Want to get some lunch?

Craig: I’m okay.

Chloe: You don’t want to face the world, we can just order some room service.

Craig: Sweetie, after talking to leo, I made a few decisions. I’m leaving salem. And I’m going back to new york.

Clyde: Nancy. I don’t know you very well. But what I do know, I like. A lot.

Nancy: Oh. My, my, my. This is like the beginning of our first date, and that sounded like the prelude to a kiss-off.

Clyde: No. No, think of it more as a– it’s like an offering for an easy way out. You see, I know what my son means to me. And the last thing in the world I want to do is come between you and your daughter. So if you’d like to back out now, that’s totally cool with me.

[Soft dramatic music]

[Door opens]

Abigail: Dad left. It’s just you and me. And I want the truth. Did you or did you not kill my grandmother?

It’s the most wonderful

time of the year

Jennifer: The horrible thing is, jack, is given the arrogance of what my mom did, and then gwen had to pay for that arrogance, I can understand why she would want my mom dead.

Jack: After you left, she swore to me that she didn’t kill laura, that she was telling the truth when she told us that all she was trying to do was hurt abigail, which in and of itself is pretty horrifying, as if she hadn’t hurt abigail enough already.

Jennifer: So which of the two scenarios are the truth, jack?

Jack: Damned if I know.

Abigail: So were you lying to my mother when you said you didn’t kill her? Or were you lying to me when you said that you did?

Gwen: Not knowing is killing you, isn’t it? And knowing that, I’m never gonna give you an answer. Oh, abigail. Poor you. I am never going to tell you what really happened to your sweet little granny. You will never know. Payback’s a bitch, isn’t it?

Chad: No, my wife is not leaving me for another woman. No, no, no. No, I did not have a threesome with two men. I don’t know where you get your information, buddy, but if you print this garbage, I am gonna make you pay.

[Cell phone ringing] Ugh.

Nancy: Clyde, I love my daughter. But I’m a grown woman. And my days of pleasing other people are over. The things that I have been through in the last couple of months, I deserve my happy ending.

Chloe: What? What about your job?

Craig: I already gave seth burns my resignation. I didn’t feel good about taking the job away from kayla. The hospital will run much better with her in charge.

Chloe: That’s not true.

Craig: Mm.

Chloe: But–so there’s no– there’s no changing your mind?

Craig: No. But I’m glad you came over so i could say goodbye before I left. I wanted to see you. And I wanted to tell you, princess, that I am sorry. I’m sorry about how much I hurt you and how much I hurt your mother.

Chloe: Dad, all I ever wanted was for you to be happy.

Craig: I know.

Chloe: Okay? And I know that you were never gonna be happy not being who you really are. And the fact that leo is–

Craig: Ah.

Chloe: Okay, I’m not gonna repeat what I think about leo. But I just hope that someday you meet a man who’s worthy of you.

Craig: Me too. Here’s hoping.

Chloe: And despite all the drama and the fighting, I was really glad to have you back. And I’m gonna miss you.

Craig: Aw, honey.

[Both sniffling] I’m gonna miss you too. No man has ever had a better daughter. I love you, sweetie. I love you.

Chloe: I love you too.

Brady: I see that craig has sent you packing.

Sonny: Yeah, with your tail between your legs.

Leo: Yes. Craig and I are done. But I’m not going anywhere. This may have started as a scam, but it became very personal to me. And you all cost me the man that I love. So remember, hell hath no fury like a gay man scorned. Because I’m coming for you. I’m coming for all of you. =
