THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Andn’t want m wit your share of profits from the most recent games. Any one of your, uh, guys could have brought this. Why the special delivery? I needed to speak to you. Are you aware that the harbormaster was fired? Yeah. I heard. Vince was my point person when my shipments passed through port charles. You assured me easy passage for my merchandise. Without vince, will that change? Hey, brando. Are you coming or going? Ah, going. I just finished a workout. Is, uh, sonny around? You just missed him. Hm. Alright. Thanks. Yeah. Uh, dante. Uh, do you know sonny’s new guy? Dex? I mean, not really. Haven’t really spoken to him yet. Why? You know, I saw him earlier with sonny. I couldn’t hear everything, but they were talking about michael. It didn’t sound like good news. Well, sonny would never hurt michael, if that’s what you’re worried about. No, I’m not. It’s dex. It’s just… something about him. I’ve seen guys like him before in the service. You know, real eager to please the commander… or a boss. Sometimes taking matters into their own hands. You know, trying to deal with a problem to score points. You think dex might see michael as a problem he wants to solve — to try to impress sonny? I do. Well, things got pretty tense, which is about average for this family. I just… I’m hoping that you can come up with something better. Yeah, we’ll, uh — we’ll talk. Alright, bye. Can I help you? Hope so. What are you doing here? Showing initiative. Uh, hey. Brook lynn. I didn’t get a real chance to say hi at the society setups mixer. Yes, I see lucas, and no, he doesn’t mention your name. Thanks for the update. But, uh, th-that’s actually not why I wanted to check in. Cut to the chase, brad. You’re clearly working up to something. Just say it. Okay, uh… you’re big on social media, correct? I have a presence. So, uh, I was wondering if you happened to see a gif from the other night. Britt slogging her way, drunk and drenched

[Laughing] Out of the pool? Yeah, I saw it. Everyone saw it. Uh, j-just curious, um… what was the giveaway that britt was over-served? You mean wasted? Britt was drinking like a fish at the mixer. You would know — you kept refilling her drinks. I was trying to be a friend. Friends don’t let friends make public rants about how love is futile. If anything, that parachute guy actually saved her some embarrassment from saying something even more embarrassing. Now, the only embarrassment she has to live with is the existence of that gif. Any idea who posted it? I only sent it to one person. Oh, my god. It was you?! How could you do that to your supposed best friend? Suppo– britt is absolutely my best friend! Okay? A-and yes, in retrospect, it was a bad idea to send off that footage to an influencer, but… it was a little gif in a whole world of gifs!

[ Laughs ] Ah, classic. Britt: It’s character assassination. Plus, that video was taken without my knowledge or consent. Yes, I know it was a public place, but still! I want that gif deleted off the face of the earth! It’s a threat to my livelihood. I am chief of staff of general hospital. I can’t have my image smeared this way. Yes. I meant to say co-chief. Do you want to get fired? Since you’re so particular about details, find a legal one that fixes this before we both lose our jobs! Ugh! Gladys: Going somewhere? To the kitchen. To grab a glass of water. Need one? No, I’m good. You want a cookie? They’re delicious. I know. That is why I bought them. They’re for the deception support staff, to thank them for all their hard work. I was bringing them to work tomorrow. Whoops.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, well, I guess I’m support staff, too. Although I’m really suited for more. But you know what? There’s more cookies in the bakery box. Let’s just save them for brando. I’ll go get some more. Oh, I’ll come with you. No! Gladys, you won’T. You’ve got to stop. You’re driving me crazy.

[ Sighs ] Mother. I am sorry I’ve missed you — again. I’m going to keep calling until you talk to me. We both said things we shouldn’t have, and… …well, I don’t want to leave things this way. I’m not playing the autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder card, but… you said it — life is short. So call me. The new harbormaster will not be an issue. And what is the basis for your assurances? The basis is gonna be because I’m gonna handle the situation, you understand? It’s my territory. And have you forgotten who controls what goes on here? Me! I meant no disrespect. I’ve become aware that you have a competitor for your coffee business. Now the unexpected firing of your associate. Since we’ve agreed to keep each other informed of possible challenges to our territories, I think it only prudent to ask. Is someone new making a move? Michael: Did sonny send you? Mr. Corinthos doesn’t know I’m here. And I made sure no one saw me on my way up to the stable. Well, good. Make sure no one sees you on your way out. That was rude. Well, apparently not rude enough for you to get the message. This is private property. You shouldn’t be here. I’m not done. I came here for a reason. Oh, yeah? What reason would that be? Parachute guy’s back. Yes, by all means, gawk. Can’t say I blame you. He looks hot in actual clothes, too. I can’t disagree, and I have very high standards. He’s coming. How’s it going? Amazing. Uh, you guys mind if I join you? I forgot to book a chaise. Yes. I mean, no. I mean, we don’t mind. Please join us. I appreciate it. I’m cody, by the way. Oh, uh, brad. Or bradley. Whatever. Brook lynn quartermaine. You made quite the entrance the other night.

[ Both chuckle ]

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh. Oh, I’m sorry. It’s work. I got to go. It was nice to meet you, cody. You too. If you have somewhere to go, you know, you don’t have to stick around for me. Oh, no. No, no, no, no. I-I have nowhere else to be. Just here. And, uh, brook lynn was right, by the way. That parachute landing was a real attention-grabber.

[ Laughs ] Right. Didn’t exactly go as planned. Still, people were buzzing about it. About me or the hot mess that fell in the pool? Uh… britt: I didn’t fall. You slammed into me. We meet again. I agreed to you moving in here, but I did not agree to you acting as my babysitter or warden or whatever you’re doing. W-what am I doing? You’re following me around everywhere. It’s like you’re afraid to let me out of your sight. I’m just concerned about my favorite daughter-in-law. Hmm. That sounds cute and charming, but we both know what’s really going on here, don’t we? Okay. Maybe I’m hovering a little bit too much.

[ Scoffs ] But it’s because I saw that paparazzo trying to tempt you with drugs, and I don’t want you falling back into addiction. I did not take the bait. And I’m glad. But since you won’t tell brando about the pills, I have to stay close so I can recognize the signs if you slip. I won’t slip. Says you. Who are you fooling here? Me or yourself? ‘Cause I’ve done this dance before. They say once an addict, always an addict. You have to stay vigilant. Precisely!

I have to stay vigilant. Me. You can’t do it for me. You can’t protect me from my addiction. Gladys, if you want to know the truth, I can get drugs at any time. In our business, there are people around everywhere, using or selling. You’d be surprised. Well, not if I have anything to say about it. Exactly my point. If I wanted to use, I could. And I don’t care how much you helicopter me or try to run interference. I would find a way, and it wouldn’t be difficult. I went through a rehab program, remember? After my heart attack? From that cocaine laced with dextroamphetamines that cyrus gave me? That was a wake-up call. I know that in order to stay clean, I have to want to stay clean. And I do. But isn’t it good to have backup?

[ Sighs ] Gladys… I appreciate your concern. I really do. I know that it’s coming from a place of love. But you have to believe me. I am completely fine.

[ Knock on door ] Did you order something? Wait. Still getting stuff forwarded from my old apartment. I’ll take these cookies back to the kitchen.

[ Somber music plays ] Sasha, what is it?

[ Sniffles ]

I saw you being led away in handcuffs. Why aren’t you in jail? Because I didn’t do anything wrong? You were arrested.

You were hammered. Maybe that’s why your memory is so spotty. How’s your head feel? Did you get enough water to drink last night before bed? Thank you. Um, you can just bill it to my room. I’ve got — oh, I forgot. I already checked out. Um, do you think the front desk still has my credit card information? Oh, wait. Hey, I got that. Could you just add this to my order and put it on selina wu’s tab? What are you doing? Just being friendly. Thank you. I appreciate it. Talk to you for a minute? Why do you hate me? What?! First you make me an internet laughingstock. Now you’re aiding and abetting the enemy. And since when are you comfortable living large off auntie dearest? Okay, that’s a lot to unpack. But first, I don’t hate you. Britt, I adore you. And I’m sorry. I-I was a little tipsy when I sent off that footage of you climbing out of the pool to a friend. And secondly, cody didn’t mean to knock you into the pool. Cody? It’s cody now? That’s his name, britt. And he approached me. He did? Mm-hmm. I, uh, didn’t see that coming.

[ Scoffs ] Yeah, I wish. But sadly, uh, it’s nothing like that, alright? Brook lynn was with me, and then she took us. And you stayed to buy him lunch and a drink on auntie’s tab. Nothing wrong with showing some hospitality. Especially since, as I mentioned, cody didn’t knock you into the pool on purpose. Right. I was just in his way. You were standing awfully close to the edge when he landed. You mean when he literally dropped out of the sky in an unsafe manner? Unsafe, but spectacular! By the way, congratulations. You memory’s coming back.

[ Sighs ] If only I could forget. Is that supposed to be a joke? What kind of sicko would send those? I bought them while I was still pregnant.

[ Sniffles ] I thought brando would get a kick out of them. But they were back-ordered. I completely forgot about them. I’ll make sure they’re returned.

[ Sniffles ] I knew that they would be too big for a newborn, but…

[ Sniffles ]

[Voice breaking] …I figured that liam would grow into them eventually.

[ Knock on door ] Better not be more deliveries. Brook lynn. Hi. Come in. Gladys! You seem strangely happy to see me. What’s going on? They were for liam. Detective falconeri. And your cousin. It’s a family reunion. Did you invite this guy onto your property, michael? No. I don’t know who he is or why he’s here. Allow me to introduce you, michael. This is dex, sonny’s new hire. Ah, I see. Well, uh, dex, I think you took a wrong turn there. Must have. Have a nice day now. Okay. I’m going. Hold up, dex. You headed back to work? Yeah. Why? I think I’ll follow. Tell sonny about your, uh, bad sense of direction. You okay? Fine. What’d that guy want? Was he here about sonny’s problems with his coffee business? Look, dante, I said I’m fine. You can drop the whole “big brother” act. Just mind your own business. Don’t concern yourself. I’m taking care of the situation. I think I know the source. Which is…?

[ Sighs ]

[ Chuckles ] I’m handling it. I’m sure you are. But if there’s anything I can do… ms. Wu, all due respect, like I said before, it doesn’t concern you. Leave it alone.

And don’t think we’ve skated past what you did to me by recording that humiliating video. Oh, uh, thank you. I’ll have another one. Same tab. And give yourself a nice tip. I’m still furious. I wanted to record what you had to say for posterity. I didn’t believe that excuse the first time, either. You did seem a little persuaded.

[ Scoffs ] It was just an act. For my mother’s sake. If she smells fear, I’m done for. Sounds like she’s just worried about you. Since when are you on my mother’s side? It’s not about sides, britt. It’S…

[ Sighs ] Never mind. What? Look… I get that you’re upset that I sent that video. I-I was trying to be, I don’t know, relevant or — or something. But it was wrong and not okay. And even though I was a little lubricated myself… I should have had my guardrails up, alright? I should have been looking out for you. Just like I’m trying to do right now. But you make it impossible sometimes. What are you talking about? Something’s going on with you, and I’m worried. You’ve been acting weird for a while now, and at first I thought it was about jason. And I’m sure that’s part of it, but there’s something else. We’re besties, right? Talk to me. Tell me what’s going on with you. For real. Sasha forgot she ordered them, and the package was delivered here. Must have been a real shock, appearing out of the blue like that. I’m fine. I don’t see how that can be true. Because it has to be. Really, I’m, uh — I’m okay. What brings you by? Just some deception business. We can talk about it tomorrow. I would love to talk business right now. What’s up? Um, well… lucy heard from the people over at home & heart shopping channel. They want to give deception a one-hour slot. That’s amazing.

[ Laughing ] Yeah. What do we have to do? Well, we don’t have to do anything except get you ready. You know, you’ll — you’ll — you’ll chat up the talk show host, you’ll talk up the products, maybe do a little demonstration. Okay. This is great. This is great. Ha! But we’re gonna have to increase our inventory. I love home & heart. They have a lot of viewers who like to buy. But I’ve seen stuff sell out in 20 minutes and then the host has to vamp for the rest of the hour. Awkward.That won’t happen. Oh, are you saying I have more faith in our products than you do? Oh, no, I have no doubt that our cosmetics will sell, but I will just make sure to remind maxie and lucy to bulk up our inventory before we go on the air. We’ll make sure that we don’t sell out. I’ll be right back. Where are you going? Bathroom, gladys. Please offer brook lynn some lemonade… and some cookies. So, gladys, how’s she really doing? Mind my own business? Michael, we came here because brando had a bad vibe about that dex kid, and it turns out he was right. Okay, he showed up here to either intimidate you or rough you up, and we wanted to make sure you were okay. Look, you don’t need to get involved. Well, it’s too late. I am involved. Okay? Dex is one of sonny’s guys, apparently. And, uh, sonny’s business has had some setbacks recently. Corinthos coffee lost some lucrative contracts, uh, the harbormaster abruptly was fired, and the new guy is, uh, being obstructive. Do you know anything about that? I mean, every business has its ups and downs, right? Right. Even sonny’S. Yeah, that’s what I thought. Listen, man… why can’t you see that you going after sonny just makes everyone’s lives worse? Is it all worth it just to try and humiliate our father? What’s going on? Dante and I found dex at the quartermaine estate with michael. Michael? Is he — michael’s okay. Dante and I got there in time. “In time”? What are you talking about? We were just having a conversation. I wasn’t gonna clip the guy. But even if you two hadn’t rolled up, michael would have been okay…eventually. Listen to me right now. You touch one of my kids… and I will kill you myself!

You’re right. I have beengoing through something. See? That’s what I’m saying. Don’t you think it might feel better talking to someone? L-like me? You’re making it harder on yourself just keeping it all in. I can’t say anything if you don’t start talking. Then talk already. I was about to! Now I need to compose my thoughts again! Oh, I swear, brad, sometimes you just get on my last nerve. Oh, he’s coming. He’s coming over here. What? Who? What? Aren’t you done yelling at this guy? If this is how you talk to your friends, it’s — how I talk to my friends is none of your business and something you will never experience. Now, why don’t you leave before I change my mind and sue you for bodily harm? Your, uh, body does not look like it was harmed to me. Do you ever stop? Unlike you, dr. Westbourne, I prefer to be nice to people. I meet them with a smile instead of a bark. H-how do you know my name?

[ Chuckles ] Oh, it’s all over my feed. Stupid supply chain. Sasha turned pale as a ghost when she saw these. Didn’t feel too good for me, either. I’m so sorry, gladys. You know, I’ll take them with me when I leave. I’ll donate them. Thanks. Yeah. Sooner they’re out of here, the better. Yeah. You know, chase — we, uh… chase and I, we gathered all of bailey’s belongings when she moved home with maxie. You know, all of her clothes and her toys and [Scoffs] The 552 baby accessories that you don’t even know exist until you’re caring for a child. But we still forgot stuff at the quartermaine nursery. You know, some onesies that she outgrew, a stuffed animal. And a few weeks after I moved home, I went into the nursery to get a toy for wiley and… …I just stopped in my tracks. I was taken by such surprise. I just started looking through the drawers and the closet, and that’s when I found the stuffed animal. And I just sat in the rocking chair and just bawled. And that’s with me knowing that bailey is alive and well and with her real mom. You know, I just — I can’t imagine what it’s like for sasha to be reminded of liam. Oh. Maybe I should go check on her. She hasn’t been gone for too long. Well, still, I-I’d — I’d feel better if — if I looked in on her. Gladys, it’s understandable that she’s upset. Is there another reason why you’re so concerned with sasha? She’s my family. That’s — there’s no such thing as being too concerned. Yeah, but you seem overly worried. Is there a reason for that? Look, I don’t want trouble with you, dante, but every single time we talk about this, it’s pretty clear you’re siding with sonny. I’m not siding with anybody, michael. I’m trying to keep the peace. And you keep escalating things. Sonny’s not working against you. You know that, right? C-come on. He sided with nina. H-he testified for her. I mean, now — now, apparently, it’s not her fault that, uh, she didn’t tell him that he had a family waiting for him. And then he tells the judge that nina should be able to see wiley. Now, it’s not a surprise, but it still felt like a pretty big betrayal. Okay, look, I can’t defend sonny doing that. I happen to not agree with what he did at nina’s hearing. Yeah, a-and — and sonny’s testimony was just the start. Then scott baldwin starts questioning me about — about claudia zacchara’s death. Now, according to him, I bludgeoned a helpless woman and nelle was justified in hiding wiley from me. Who cares what scott baldwin says? He’s full of crap! The judge knows that. No. Scott — scott is acting on nina’s orders! And then there was sonny in the courtroom sitting on her side. So don’t talk to me about peace, alright? I don’t want peace. Sonny didn’t just betray me, his family. He betrayed himself, he betrayed his code that he instilled in me my whole life. “Family first,” right? No, he doesn’t care about his family. He proved that. Alright, michael. Maybe you can just tell me how messing up sonny’s business balances the scales. Hey, I’m not doing anything illegal. Well, you got the harbormaster fired, didn’t you? Come on, we all know that guy was in on the take. You can’t tell me, as a law enforcement officer, you’re not happy that that guy’s out of commission. I don’t care! I could care less. I care about you. I want to know what’s going on with you. This isn’t like you. Oh, right, ’cause — right, so now it’s on me to forgive, right? To make — to make allowances, while sonny does what he wants, takes what he wants, and lets everyone else around him pay the price. No, no more. I-I don’t — I… I want wiley to grow up the son of a successful businessman, not the grandson of a mobster. Okay. You want wiley to grow up the son of a successful businessman who’s obsessed with revenge? Does that make you any better than sonny? You want to cut him out of your life? Cut him out of your life! But you’re never gonna be done with him if your entire life revolves around getting revenge. My family — every one of them, and that includes michael — is off limits. Do I make myself understood? Absolutely. Understood, boss. Wait for me while I walk brando out. I’m grateful for what you did. But answer me something. Why did you go after him in the first place? I was at the gym when you and dex were talking, and I… I could hear part of your conversation. I wasn’t trying to eavesdrop, but I couldn’t help it. Go on. It’s just something about his attitude. Just rubbed me the wrong way. It was instinct, you know? Yeah, I do. I appreciate everything you do for my family. Anytime. Now, you go ahead and go, go. Go to that beautiful wife. I think I will.

[ Chuckles ] I’ll see you, sonny. Okay. I gave you a job. What is it? To check and see if any other vendors have canceled your business. So, where did you hear “michael” in that order? Nowhere, sir. But — there’s no “buts”! When I give you an order, you need to obey it. Just do what I want. Nothing less, nothing more. That doesn’t work for me.

just delete it!

[ Laughs ] Why would I do that? Because it’s taken out of context. It doesn’t show you knocking me into the water. You should be thanking me for my skill. If I had plowed into you at full speed — pssh! Who knows? Why are you even standing here? You should be locked up for creating a public nuisance and flying a parachute without a license. I don’t even know if that last one is an offense — ugh! Shut up! That’S…

[ Sighs ] As far as I can tell, you are just a drifter who literally blew into town whom I can’t wait to blow back out. The only reason I haven’t sued you is because I don’t want you hanging around for the court date. Oh, well, you’re welcome to try. I don’t really have anything that’s worth taking, alright? I was paid to parachute into that pool, which I did. I can’t be held responsible because you were standing too close to the edge. Furthermore, I have evidence that you weren’t injured as a result. I know that you walked right out of that pool of your own considerable glory. I swear, if you bring that up again, that phone will end up in the bottom of the pool! Dr. Westbourne. How nice to see you again. Ms. Wu. And you are? I’m just cody bell. I’m blowing through. We have a meeting. I know. That’s why I’m here. Shall we? Mm. Play nice. You can leave now. I will, once I get what I’m owed. I don’t owe you anything. Not everything’s about you. I’m waiting for someone. Wait somewhere else. Is there something I don’t know about? Is that why you’re staying here with sasha and brando? Why? Do you think it’s strange they’d want me here with them? Come on, gladys. Sasha is my friend. She’s also a pivotal part of deception. Look, I want to know so I can help. I’ll be okay, brook lynn.

[ Clears throat ] I just needed to splash some water on my face. The home & heart spot is a huge opportunity for deception. I’m excited for us, but I admit I’m also a little nervous being on camera and having all the focus be on me. That’s why I want to prepare. That’s the best way I know how to conquer my jitters. Totally get it. We will prep you, coach you. We will beat those jitters into submission. Well, let’s get to it, shall we? Okay. We should discuss which products to present and talk about the order to present them in to achieve maximum sales. Okay. I’m gonna take some notes to forward on to lucy. I was thinking that we need to start out with a bang, you know, to get the — the audience’s attention. I was thinking lips. Hey, uh, gladys, you’re not on the clock, so you don’t have to stick around for this. I’m not going anywhere. This is fun. Just pretend I’m not here. I have to say, I’m quite impressed with your work so far. You’ve accomplished every one of the tasks that I’ve given you. Last night at the poker game, judge abbott told me that you were quite charming. I’ll admit, I’m actually enjoying the job so far. You sound surprised. Oh, no, no. Well, I… you know that I had had my heart set on working at G.H. So I was just thrown when you intervened. But I had no idea what the job would entail. I’m aware that you were hesitant to get involved with one of my enterprises. However, I have a talent of matching people with the task they’re best suited for. And so far, you’ve impressed me. That’s, uh — that’s great to hear. Because… I think I’m ready for more. Are you? Yes. I want to make a — a real contribution to the family business. What did you say? With all respect, mr. Corinthos, I don’t think you want a robot. You want someone who can think for himself, who can anticipate problems and deal with them so you don’t have to. You think that’s you? I barely know you. You haven’t earned my trust. Yes, sir. I’m sorry for going to see your son today. I-I know I went too far. It’s just… hell, I… I was trying to impress you. I know I can do more for you, and I wanted to prove it. I didn’t think it through. I blew it. And I-I’m really sorry. I just want a chance, mr. Corinthos. I was trying to show initiative. Dex. Sir. I appreciate your enthusiasm. But you’re not there yet. And the way you’re gonna get there… …is to listen to what I say and obey my orders. Does that mean I didn’t screw it all up? That you’ll give me another chance?

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Sighs ] Hm. 10 emails from the board.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh, wow. Now 11. You have no experience in my organization, brad. You need to study and learn the business and then complete the necessary training for a higher position. I’m up for the challenge. So you say. But why should i invest in you now? Because we’re family? I’ve been let down by family before. Who? It’s time to go. You can prove your dedication right now. Oh! Now. Oh. Okay, um… terry.

[ Chuckles nervously ] I wouldn’t blame you if you’re avoiding my calls. Um, I’m — I’m probably not gonna come in today, for obvious reasons. If you are fielding calls from the board, I am so sorry. I…

[ Sighs ] I will talk to you later. Careful. Your face will freeze that way. This pool debacle is ruining my life and my reputation. How is anyone gonna take me seriously now? I swear, I should sue. You absolutely should.

[ Sighs ]

[ Pills rattle ] No!

[ Pills clatter ]

[ Knock on door ] It’s dante. You here about michael? I know everything that happened. Yeah, I figured brando would’ve told you. Who is this dex guy? What the hell’s he doing? I had a conversation with dex. I put him on notice. I swatted him. And I can tell you right now, he’s not gonna do anything without checking with me first. He’s gonna follow my orders. Believe me.

[ Sighs ] Alright, thanks, drew. Let’s, uh, circle back when I get to the office. I’m out running a quick errand. Alright, bye. Twice in one day. Is everything okay? Sure thing, boss. Sonny slapped my hand. I promised to be good from now on. Alright, look. You coming to the quartermaine estate was out of line. My family is off limits. I’ve heard that one before. Do I look like I’m joking? No. It’s just ironic… considering you hired me to take down your father.

Sonny: Will, I forgot my– what the hell?

Leo: Hello, sonny.

Abigail: That’s great. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you so much. Hi, so, um, I just got some great news.

Chad: You’re pregnant?

Abigail: No, no. Not yet. No. We’re gonna have to keep trying.

Chad: Well, it’s better than digging ditches. So what’s the great news?

Abigail: Well, you know, I’ve been working on sami’s kidnapping story, and I finally have a solid lead. I think I’m actually getting close to who’s actually behind it all.

Marlena: Belle, I know you’re upset with me, but please call me. We have to talk about this.

[Knocking on door] Oh! Kate.

Kate: Hey.

Marlena: Hello.

Kate: So sorry just to drop in like this.

Marlena: No. I’m always glad to see you.

Kate: Okay. Did you know that will was going back to arizona today?

Marlena: Well, not that it was today, no. That seems rather sudden.

Kate: I know. Anyway, so roman and I are gonna throw him a little going away breakfast, and we were really hoping that you and john could come over.

Marlena: Oh. Well, john’s working, but– let me think, I–oh. I can make that. I’d be glad to be there.

Kate: Okay. Are you all right? You just don’t seem quite like yourself.

Marlena: Oh. I’m a little worried about belle.

Kate: Yeah. Yeah, I heard that she and shawn are having problems.

Marlena: That’s putting it mildly.

Kate: So is she still staying here with you?

Marlena: Well, she was until last night, and then she got upset with us– she got upset with me, and stormed out and hasn’t come home.

Ej: [Chuckles] There’s that beautiful smile. What are you thinking?

Belle: I am thinking that this is the best I’ve felt in a long time and that–

Ej: That what?

Belle: That for the first time since shawn and i separated, as painful as it was, I feel like it happened for a reason.

Ej: Mm-hmm. So you and I could be together like this. And just so you know, when I said you could stay here last night, I swear I didn’t plan for you to wind up in my bed.

Belle: [Laughing] I didn’t either, but I’m glad I did. I’m really glad I did.

Both: Mm-hmm.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Roman: Hey. What happened to you?

Lucas: [Sighs] Ej dimera.

Belle: I can’t believe sami let you get away.

[Echoing] Ej. Ej?

Ej: Oh. [Grunts]

Belle: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to wake you.

Ej: Oh, it’s okay. I should have been up an hour ago. Did you sleep okay?

Belle: Yeah. I slept fine. Um, since I didn’t make it to my parents last night, I was wondering if you thought abigail might have some clothes?

Ej: I have a better idea. I’ll lend you a robe to wear down to breakfast, and we’ll have harold send for your things.

Belle: Oh. No. I’ve, um–I’ve already been too much of an imposition.

Ej: Belle, don’t you know you could never be an imposition?

Sonny: Will. Will, are you okay? You drugged him too, didn’t you?

Leo: I didn’t need to drug him. He couldn’t wait to get out of your bed and into mine.

Sonny: But this is my bed.

Leo: Not anymore. Right, pookie?

Will: Yes, pookie.

Sonny: Ah! Oh.

Will: What? What? What’s wrong?

Sonny: Oh, my god.

[Panting] Oh, my god. I just had the most awful dream that I walked in on you and leo having–in bed together.

Will: I’m sorry. Yeah. That qualifies as a nightmare. Sonny, that’s all it was though. It was just a dream, okay? It’s obviously never gonna happen in real life.

Sonny: I know. I just– I never thought that would happen to me again too, so–

Will: He really did a number on you, didn’t he?

Sonny: I don’t know. I’ve been trying to let it go.

Will: Sonny, he drugged you, and he took degrading pictures of you. Of course you can’t just let it go. That’s gonna take time.

Sonny: I know.

Will: But you know, as crappy as it was, it didn’t– it didn’t change things, right? It didn’t change us.

Sonny: Well, I thank god for that. I just– I can’t help but think he’s not done getting revenge.

Will: Yeah. I know. I mean, he said himself that he had other fish to fry. He has a long list of people he blames for craig leaving him.

Sonny: Yeah. Everyone but himself.

Will: He published those pictures of chad, and he did the same to you. I wonder who he’s going after next?

[Cell phone rings]

Leo: Hello? Yes, I’ll accept the call. Guinevere, thank you for checking up on me. Thanks to your directions, I’ve been able to wend my way through these tunnels. I was very robert donat, very “prisoner of zenda.” Ah, you are a film illiterate. Well, it’s not the ritz, but it beats sleeping on a bench in prospect park. Plus, there are some very nice amenities here at chez dimera. And best of all, your sister is right upstairs.

Abigail: So you know how i said I was gonna find sami’s kidnapper by tracking down the other guy, the one who got away?

Chad: Right.

Abigail: Well, I thought it was gonna be like trying to find a needle in a haystack, but turns out the guy just got arrested in wisconsin on completely unrelated charges.

Chad: How in god’s name did you find that out?

Abigail: [Scoffs] I just–I realized that salem pd stopped looking for him as soon as ej was released. And I reached out to this contact I have in milwaukee to help me track wisconsin arrest reports, and– it was a total long shot, and it paid off. This right here, this is where you would say, “hey, great work, abigail.” And then you’d compare me

Chad: No, it’s–it was grt. You–you found him. But was it worth it?

Abigail: Excuse me?

Chad: I mean, abby, do you really think that this guy’s gonna tell you a different story than the other guy, the one who testified that ej was the one that hired him?

Abigail: I don’t know. I guess I’ll find out. I’m going to milwaukee today.

Chad: No you’re– no you’re not. No matter who you are,

Marlena: So when belle heard that I had agreed to treat jan, she became furious, and she took off.

Kate: [Scoffs] Well, do you blame her? I mean jan is pregnant, and belle’s husband is the father of the baby. For years, jan has tried to kill belle. I mean, most recently, she kidnapped her daughter.

Marlena: I know all that. I do know all about all that, but truth of the matter is that, no matter what jan has done, she does deserve to get good mental health care.

Kate: Well, yeah. But it doesn’t mean that you have to be the provider. I mean, I think this would be the perfect time to make a referral to another qualified professional who perhaps doesn’t have personal ties to the fruitcake who’s trying to ruin your daughter’s life.

Marlena: Maybe so, but I am uniquely qualified to treat jan, and maybe if I can do that, maybe I can end this reign of terror she has against my daughter.

Kate: So you want this more than anything.

Marlena: Oh, I do.

Kate: Hm. Good luck. Although I have to say I think moses leading his people into the promised land was probably easier than you trying to lead jan to mental health.

[Cell phone beeps]

Marlena: Oh. It’s from belle.

Kate: Maybe she stayed with shawn last night.

Marlena: No. She’s with ej.

Kate: [Huffs] Really? I mean, I know that’s none of my business, but do you think something’s going on between those two?

Belle: Okay, I just texted my mom to let her know I’m here so she doesn’t worry. Hopefully, they don’t come storming the gates trying to rescue me.

Ej: You’re a grown woman. You’d think they’d respect your wishes.

Belle: Yeah, you’d think they would, but they don’T. Probably because I’ve been such a constant disappointment to them.

Ej: What? Belle, how could you say that? You’re a successful lawyer. You’re a wonderful wife and mother.

Belle: Oh, please. You know that people can look good on paper, but when you learn about how they got where they are and all of the mistakes they made along the way…

Ej: You mean to tell me you’ve made mistakes? Well, I’m shocked.

Belle: Well, you might be if I actually told you about all of them.

Ej: No, I’m sure I would not be, because I know you as an exceptionally smart, caring, and honest person whom I greatly admire and is too hard on yourself.

Belle: Well, thank you for saying that, but from my parents’ perspective, I think that they haven’t really approved of all the decisions that I’ve made. Like, for example, how I handled my daughter’s mental illness.

Ej: You couldn’t have handled it too poorly. Claire’s doing very well now, from what you’ve told me.

Belle: Oh, yeah. No. She is. Thank god. But I don’t give myself credit for that. You know, I was really in denial for a long time, and I think– I think that caused her and a lot of other people a lot of pain. And I think my mom still holds that against me.

Ej: There you go being hard on yourself again. And do you really think your mother holds that against you, that you didn’t have all the answers in a very terribly difficult situation?

Belle: I don’t know, okay? I just worry that she doesn’t think that I’m capable of making good decisions. And that is why I am here looking so sloppy.

Ej: No, you look beautiful as always.

Belle: Well, it’s definitely not how I want to look when I go crawling back to my parents.

Ej: I’ll ask abigail to loan you something.

Belle: Would you? That would be great. Thank you.

Ej: But first, I would like to ask you a question.

Belle: Okay.

Ej: Belle, do you really want to go back to your parents?

Roman: So you and ej got into it? Couldn’t have possibly been about sami, could it?

Lucas: Ej still thinks that I’m the one who kidnapped her. He’s still pushing that big lie, which is ludicrous, because everybody knows he did it.

Roman: Charges against him were dropped.

Lucas: Yeah, ’cause he’s a dimera, and dimeras don’t ever pay for anything they do. You know that. I mean, what I don’t get is, now that he’s gotten away with it, why doesn’t he just let the matter drop?

Roman: If he got away with it.

Lucas: I think he got away with it; he’s a free man.

Roman: Yeah, but I’m not sure it was ej to start with. I still have a lot of unanswered questions about what actually happened.

Leo: Ugh, can you hear my stomach growling out there in statesville? I need some breakfast to go with this fine bottle of champagne. Mm, I don’t know how long I’m gonna be here. I’m still working out my plan. But when I am through, chad will know exactly how I felt when I lost the love of my life.

Abigail: What do you mean, “no, you’re not going?” Please tell me that was not an order. Please tell me you’re not telling me not to do my job.

Chad: Okay. I’m–I’m sorry. That came out the wrong way. How about–look, how about– can we just talk about it, because I’m worried about you?

[Tense music]

Look, I just got you back from kristen, and now you want to track down some guy who kidnaps women for a living, and for what? The story’s old news. Ej’s out of jail. Sami is out of town. Nobody really cares who kidnapped sami, and ej just wants to move past it all.

Abigail: Has it ever occurred to you that if ej’s innocent that sami could still be in danger?

Chad: Lucas found her months ago, and nothing has happened. And like, what, you’re gonna put your life on the line for a chance at, like, maybe–

Abigail: I’m going to a supervised visitation procedure at a police station. It’s hardly putting my life on the line.

Chad: What if the real kidnapper finds out?

Abigail: Okay. Great. We’re in agreement. Whoever hired these goons could be dangerous.

Chad: Oh–you’re relentless.

Abigail: I am. Yes. And besides, don’t you want to clear ej’s name?

Chad: Yeah, but–

Abigail: Okay, look. You’re not gonna talk me out of this; I’m going to milwaukee. I’m going today. I’m gonna find out the truth.

Chad: Wait. St–just– okay, just listen. Okay, look, you don’t have to go anywhere to find out who really kidnapped sami. I know. It was lucas. With relapsing forms of ms,

Will: Okay, so we know leo’s gonna go after brady and chloe, right, and god knows who else. But the good thing is, the more people he goes after, the more likely it is that he’ll get caught.

Sonny: Well, I don’t know about that. I mean the drugs he gave me were completely out of my system by the time I took my blood test. You know, I–gosh. I just–I hate the way he gets away with things. That’s why I think I went so crazy when I found out about craig wesley, you know. I couldn’t stand him doing what he did to me to someone else and just getting away with it.

Will: Well, he didn’t get away with it, right? You saw to that. You rounded up your band of merry men and women, and set out to free craig wesley and, by god, you freed craig wesley.

Sonny: Now I just got to free myself. I got to get this little creep out of my head.

Will: I think I can help with that.

[Tender music]

Leo: [Sighs] I don’t suppose door dart delivers to secret dungeons when they could barely find craig’s room at the salem inn. I guess I’ll have to go hunt down my own breakfast.

Thomas: Who are you? And what are you doing in my house?

Kate: I don’t know. I mean, don’t you think it’s telling that, of all the people belle knows in salem, she went to ej’s last night?

Marlena: No. No. Belle and ej work together.

Kate: Ah. A business sleepover.

Marlena: They’re only friends, kate.

Kate: Mm-hmm. Well, from what I know of ej, he doesn’t have friends. Predators seldom do.

Marlena: No, trust me. I–I do know that. But belle is in no mood for any kind of advice from either one of her parents.

Kate: Ugh. It would be so much more simple if children just did what their parents said.

Marlena: I can’t even imagine how sami would react if she thought that ej was going after her sister.

Kate: Well, why would she even care? I mean, she’s with lucas now, and they’re very happy.

Marlena: Well, yes. I know they’re happy together, but it would still drive her over the edge if she thought that ej was pursuing her sister, even though ej had kidnapped her, and she was afraid for her life.

Kate: Indeed.

Marlena: I will forever be grateful to lucas for rescuing her from those kidnappers and for the friendship they’ve had all these years, through thick and thin, good and bad, up and down, ever since they were teenagers.

Kate: Yeah. Well, onward and upward, right? Let’s get over to the pub. What do you say?

Marlena: Let’s go.

Kate: Okay.

Belle: No. No. I don’t want to go back to my parents, but I also don’t want to hurt them. You know, they’ve been through a lot too. I just think right now I need to take care of myself and preserve my sanity as much as I can.

Ej: Absolutely none of my business, but I think that’s the right way to go.

Belle: Yeah, it’s the only way to go. So I think I’ll just do what everyone else in salem does when their life falls apart, and I’ll go get a room at the salem inn. I hear they have a very good rate for losers.

Ej: You’re not a loser, belle. You’re a strong woman who’s been put in an impossible position. You’re regrouping.

Belle: Ah. Euphemism for “falling apart.”

Ej: Well, given that your marriage has fallen apart, and in a very unexpected and painful way, I see someone who is dealing with an impossible situation with a great deal of dignity, character. You’re a lot stronger than you think.

Belle: Well, I guess I feel a lot stronger when I know you see me that way.

Ej: I always have.

Belle: Well, in spite of that, you definitely don’t need this, you know, some random, heartbroken woman showing up on your doorstep.

Ej: Damn it, belle. You are not some random, heartbroken woman. You are my friend. Now, I can’t change what’s happened to you. I can’t make your husband stand up to that lunatic woman, and I can’t put that lunatic back in the asylum. But what I can offer you is a guest bedroom, privacy, autonomy, and time to think. As much time as you need.

Belle: Okay.

Ej: Then it’s settled. I’ll tell harold to have your things brought here.

Belle: Ej, I–thank you.

Ej: Think nothing of it. And if you ever question the magnitude of what you’re dealing with, let me just say that this is the first time in my entire life that I have ever thought that this madhouse could be anyone’s oasis of calm.

Lucas: Well, what do you mean you have unanswered questions? Like what?

Roman: Well, like who framed ej by planting those phony transactions on dimera computers? And why bother to frame him if he actually was guilty? I mean it’s usually innocent people who get framed.

Lucas: Do you think ej’s innocent?

Roman: He’s not usually, but in this case, the cop part of me says it just doesn’t add up.

Lucas: Well, the guy who held sami captive said that ej hired him, so for me, that’s pretty much all the proof I need. You know, and now that ej’s got a walk, I’m gonna make sure he stays away from sami for good.

Roman: Okay, if you need help with that, let me know. I may not be sure that ej kidnapped sami, but I’m damn sure he is a creep.

Lucas: Well, amen to that. Thank you. So, uh, roman–

Roman: So, uh, lucas?

Lucas: Um, well, sami and I, you know, over the years, you know, through all the weddings and the divorces– I just want to make sure that I get things right from the start this time.

Roman: Uh, good idea.

Lucas: Right, so, um, I’m asking your permission to marry sami.

Abigail: You’re telling me that it was lucas who kidnapped sami? No. No, no, no. Dimeras kidnap people, but not hortons.

Chad: It’s the truth.

Abigail: How can it be? Why would lucas kidnap sami?

Chad: To keep sami from going back to ej.

Abigail: You’re sure?

Chad: I caught him planting fake financial reports on my computer to frame ej. And then he–lucas basically admitted everything and begged me to keep my mouth shut, to let ej take the fall.

Abigail: And you just went along with it?

Chad: Well, I didn’t want lucas to go to prison, and ej wasn’t exactly my favorite person at that time.

Abigail: Wait a–okay. Wait. So that was months ago. You’ve known all this time?

Chad: There were so many times that I wanted to tell you the truth. And I knew that ej could go to prison for years for something that he didn’t do. I was gonna come clean about everything, testify at the trial.

Abigail: But then you thought that he kissed me at the courthouse, so you kept your mouth shut and watched as he was shipped off to prison.

Chad: And then I found out that it wasn’t him, so I was going to come forward again. But then belle got the charges dropped and got him out of prison, and then kate convinced me that lucas wasn’t a threat to sami. But since ej was released, telling the truth wasn’t gonna help anyone, but it would screw up my relationship with ej big time, probably permanently.

Abigail: I can’t believe this.

Chad: I’m sorry. And I know that I have no right to ask you this, but can you please keep this between us?

Ej: Keep what between you?

[Dramatic music]

My moderate to severe plaque psoriasis…

Roman: Okay, so you are asking me for my daughter’s hand in marriage?

Lucas: Yeah. That’s right.

Roman: Okay, like we have suddenly hurtled back a couple centuries, and like sami wouldn’t do exactly what she wants to do, whether I bless her or not?

Lucas: I know. You’re right. You’re right. She would. But this isn’t about you and sami. It’s more about you and me. Um, I was just wondering if it’s okay, you know, if, um, if you think I’m good enough for your daughter. I mean, your opinion matters to me, so.

Roman: Okay.

Lucas: And I know that my history isn’t the best in the world right now, so–

Roman: You mean you’ve screwed up a lot.

Lucas: Yeah. Yeah. You could say that.

Roman: Well, you have. But you’ve also been a great dad to will and allie, and you’ve been a really good friend to sami. And you know, I love sami very much, but you? You’re good for her. I think you understand her in a way that nobody else does. So yes. You do have my blessing.

Lucas: Thank you.

Roman: Just keep her safe, okay?

Lucas: I will.

Roman: And visit often.

Lucas: You got it.

Kate: Are we interrupting something?

Sonny: As much as I hate to leave, I think your family’s expecting us at the pub, like, now.

Will: Well, that can wait. This can’T.

Sonny: [Laughs]

Leo: Who am I? I think the better question is who are you?

Thomas: I’m thomas dimera.

Leo: Well, young thomas, what are you doing down here all by yourself?

Thomas: My sister and I are playing hide-and-seek.

Leo: I guess you’re found now, aren’t you?

Chad: So belle, what are you doing here?

Ej: I’ve invited her to stay here with us for a while– in the guest room, of course.

Chad: That’s very hospitable of you.

Ej: It’s the least I can do after she helped me get out of prison on those false kidnapping charges.

Chad: Right.

Ej: Yeah, so what were you asking abigail to keep between the two of you?

Chad: It’s a private conversation.

Abigail: Oh, no, chad, I– I think we should tell him. We hit the bike trails every weekend

Roman: Uh, no, you’re not interrupting anything. Just guy talk.

Kate: Oh, yeah. What about those cubs?

Roman: Yeah, along those lines. Marlena, glad you could make it.

Marlena: Thank you for asking me.

Roman: Yeah, I was hoping that you’d bring john and belle along.

Marlena: John’s at work, and belle and I aren’t getting along right now.

Roman: Sorry to hear that.

Marlena: Yeah. Thank you. I’m actually a little bit worried that she and shawn might not be able to get through all this.

Roman: Come on. Look at lucas and sami. If they can get through what they’ve gotten through, then hope for everyone.

Kate: I know that you think you’ve worked everything out with sami, but–

Lucas: Don’t do it, all right. Don’t start in on her.

Kate: Okay, I’m not starting in on her. I’m starting in on you, because I know you think you’re going to just walk off into the sunset with her. And I’m telling you right now, if she finds out from anyone other than you that you’re the one who kidnapped her, there’s no coming back from that.

Lucas: Don’t you think I know that?

Kate: Well, then why don’t you tell her yourself? Tell her it was you.

Lucas: Are you nuts? She would kill me. Don’t be like that. She wouldn’t understand. You know what? It doesn’t matter, because she’s never gonna find out, because you’re not gonna say anything, and chad’s not gonna say anything. And no one else knows.

Kate: I hope you’re right.

Roman: Kate, you know what’s keeping will?

Sonny: I wish you didn’t have to leave today.

Will: [Sighs] I know. But ari and I will be back before you know it, as soon as she’s done with school.

Sonny: Well, it was nice just to see you, even if it was ’cause of leo.

[Sneaky music]

Leo: I could lock you up down here, and your parents probably wouldn’t notice for months. Or years, for all the attention they pay. But I’m a good person. I couldn’t do that, could I?

Thomas: Why are you talking to yourself? And who are you anyway?

Leo: I’m the tooth fairy.

Thomas: I didn’t lose a tooth.

Leo: Get me a pair of pliers, and we can take care of that.

Thomas: What?

Leo: Nothing. Just kidding. I-I must have the wrong house.

Thomas: How could you be the tooth fairy? Fairies are girls.

Leo: [Snorts] You have a lot to learn, kid. But you are a very lucky little boy. Nobody is supposed to see the tooth fairy. So now you get to keep a very big secret. You can’t tell anyone about me, especially not your parents. So can I count on you or not?

Abigail: Chad and I have decided to try to have another baby.

Belle: [Gasps]

Abigail: Yes. He wants to keep it between us. I’m excited to share it. Of course, you know, with any luck, everyone’s gonna know soon enough anyways.

Ej: Oh, that’s wonderful.

Belle: Aw, that’s some baby news I can actually be happy about.

Chad: Yeah.

Abigail: And chad wasn’t able to be present with my other pregnancies from the very beginning, so this is gonna be different. These days we just share everything.

Ej: Congratulations. I’m thrilled for the both of you.

[Dramatic music]

I was on an antidepressant,

Belle: I mean, how did harold get my stuff here so quickly?

Ej: He’s magical. And I figured you’d want to unpack, so I asked him to bring up breakfast on a tray. Steak and eggs. Better than the pub.

Belle: Well, I could get used to this. I mean, it is just so different than how I grew up.

Ej: Well, sometimes I wish I grew up like you, in a normal home with two parents.

Belle: And a big sister who hated me and carrie with every fiber of her being.

Ej: That’s what it means to be a brother or sister. Hey, three months ago, chad and I wanted to kill each other, but now? We’re like– we’re like brothers.

Belle: It is good to see you two worked it out.

Ej: I don’t think it would be an overstatement to say that I was a real jerk when I came back to salem.

Belle: Yeah, I think chad might be the first to agree with that.

Ej: And now that he’s found some way to get over it, I’m gonna make sure that I don’t screw things up with him anymore.

Chad: Oh, I thought for a minute there that you were gonna tell ej everything.

Abigail: No. I mean, I felt like I had to say something, otherwise he was gonna think we were keeping secrets from him.

Chad: Which we were. I’m sorry for dragging you into this.

Abigail: I hate lying. But I think you’re right. I mean, I don’t want to mess up your relationship with ej. I don’t want lucas to go to prison. My mom would be crushed.

Chad: I should have known you’d understand.

Abigail: I’m on your side. I love you. And we’re a team, now and always.

[Tender music]

Leo: If you say anything, kid, it means no more tooth fairy money for the rest of your life.

Thomas: But I have two loose teeth.

Leo: Then you better keep your trap shut.

Thomas: Okay.

Leo: Now, I know you come from a family full of liars, creeps, and sneaks.

Thomas: What?

Leo: So I hope I can trust you to keep your word.

Thomas: Well, I don’t want to lose my 50 bucks.

Leo: 50 bucks?

Thomas: Per tooth.

Leo: In my day, it was 50 cents. Inflation. So can I count on you? Good, ’cause I’m gonna be watching you.

Thomas: You sound like santa.

Leo: Who says I’m not? Santa, easter bunny, tooth fairy. You want the magic to continue, I’m gonna need you to bring me some breakfast. So why don’t you head up to the kitchen and scare me up a tray?

Thomas: The tooth fairy eats people food?

Leo: Mm-hmm. And drink, so can you bring me some orange juice too, for my mimosa?

Thomas: What’s a mimosa?

Leo: Oh, don’t worry about it; just go. Chop-chop. Go.

Lucas: Hey.

Marlena: Oh!

Roman: Where have you two been?

Will: Uh, sorry. Something kind of came up.

Marlena: Well, as long as you’re here now.

Will: Yes, and I’m sorry for the combined hello and goodbye, but I’m gonna be back soon.

Kate: Okay, well, we’re gonna hold you to that, so.

[Cell phone beeps]

Lucas: What’s wrong?

Kate: Uh, I got to go.

Lucas: Everything okay?

Kate: Yeah. I hope so. Ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks.

Roman: Well, sorry we didn’t have more time together.

Will: I know. Yeah. I know I kind of blew into town, and now I’m blowing back out, but I promise I’m gonna come back soon.

Marlena: Allie told me that she had a very helpful conversation with you, so thank you for that.

Will: Oh, yeah. I mean, I was just trying to be there for her like you were there for me when I was figuring things out. I love you.

Marlena: Oh, darling.

Sonny: Well, I hate to cut the reunion short, but we should probably get going–

Will: Right. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So I’ll be back soon. Love you, dad.

Lucas: Love you.

Will: And the whole family will be back together again.

Roman: Yeah, well, we’ll have to have a big party. What do you say, lucas?

Lucas: I was just thinking the same thing, yeah.

Chad: Thanks for meeting me.

Kate: Okay, so what’s this important information you need to share with me?

Chad: I thought that you should know I told abigail that lucas kidnapped sami.

Abigail: Thomas? What are you doing in the tunnels?

Leo: I was playing hide-and-seek with charlotte, and she never found me.

Abigail: Well, that’s because she knows you’re not supposed to go down there. Honey, promise me you’ll never do that again. It’s dangerous.

Thomas: Why? No one’s down there except–

Abigail: Except who? Did you see somebody down there?

Thomas: I promised not to tell.

Abigail: You promised who? Honey, it’s okay if you tell me.

Thomas: It was the tooth fairy.

[Tense music]

Leo: Mm. Best mimosa of my life. But I can’t drink too much. I have a big day ahead of me.

[ Dramatic music ]

Deacon: Wait a second. Wait. You’re barring me from the property?

Brooke: Something I should have done a while ago.

Hope: Okay, so this is not coming from ridge?

Brooke: No, honey, this is coming from me. Ridge voiced his opinion before and I never listened. I should have listened the first 100 times he said it. But I am now. And it’s very clear to me. I just hope it’s not too late. You can’t be here, deacon. Not anymore. I’m sorry. That’s just the way it has to be.

Deacon: You’re forgetting one little detail. My daughter lives here.

Brooke: Right, but L.A. Is a big place. I mean, there’s a lot of places that you can actually meet up. Just doesn’t have to be here. And, honey, I do support your relationship with your father, but I need some support, too. And I love my husband, and I want him to move back here. I’m not going to risk my marriage one more day.

[Door opening and shutting]

Ridge: No, no, no, no, no, no. Why? Why? What are you doing here?

Bill: Come on, come on, don’t be that way. Give us a kiss. A hug?

Ridge: Please, enough. Come on.

Bill: Nothing? Wow. Is this how you treat all your visitors?

Ridge: Only the ones I miss so much.

Bill: I detect a note of sarcasm.

Ridge: What– what do you want? I’m busy.

Bill: Busy doing what? I don’t see a needle and thread in your hand. What? What? All right, look, I’m just trying to lighten things up a little bit, okay? It’s been pretty heavy. I wanted to come see you in person and reiterate how sorry I am about what happened to steffy and her family.

Ridge: I appreciate you saying that. Steffy’s had a really tough time of it. So she took the kids and left town for a while.

Bill: Well, that’s probably a good idea. I mean, I– I can’t even imagine the shock and the trauma that steffy experienced. Watching her husband killed by his own birth mother? Being shot herself? I mean, sheila has always been a qualified nut, but to shoot her grandchild’s mom, to kill her own son? I mean, that is a special brand of evil.

Ridge: At least we can agree on that.

Bill: How about that. Something we agree on.

Ridge: Huh.

Bill: We normally were on the opposite sides of an issue. Like what sheila did to brooke. And how brooke should be treated as a result.

Hope: Mom, surely there must be some kind of compromise. I mean, can he at least come to the cabin?

Brooke: Honey, honey, I’m not budging on this. Deacon can’t be on the property at all.

Deacon: Don’t you think it’s a little extreme?

Brooke: This is not up for debate.

Deacon: I want a couple of minutes alone with your mom.

Brooke: Please just leave.

Deacon: I swear. I swear. Just a couple of minutes. Please, hear me out.

Brooke: Deacon!

Deacon: Brooke, just a few minutes.

Liam: It’s up to you, brooke. I mean, if you’re not comfortable, we can stay. If– if deacon doesn’t want to go… you know…

Deacon: I wouldn’t want liam to have to throw me out.

Hope: Mom, come on, please?

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: Fine. Five minutes.

Hope: Okay. Dad, make them count. I’m taking his snacks.

Deacon: Hey, I know you’re upset, and I know you’re trying to save your marriage. But please, don’t do this. One prilosec otc in the morning

Liam: So, uh, couldn’t help but notice you holding back a little bit at your mom’S.

Hope: Oh, I just, I didn’t think my voice was needed.

Liam: Yeah, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have an opinion about brooke banning your dad from the property.

Hope: Well, at this point, I don’t think I’m really entitled to one, so.

Liam: You are. Deacon’s your father, and he comes to the cabin to visit with you and his grandkid.

Hope: And look at you, advocating for my dad!

Liam: No, absolutely not! You bite your tongue. That’s not what I’m doing. I’m trying to get to the bottom of how you feel about your mom laying down this law that keeps your dad outside the gates.

Hope: I’m not thrilled. I feel bad for him because clearly he didn’t see it coming. And if this were a few months ago, I mean, yeah, I would have fought really hard for him, trying to change my mom’s mind, but I already tried that. Look where it got us.

Liam: Okay. Reality check. You’re not… actually blaming yourself for ridge and brooke’s marital problems, are you?

Hope: Well, ridge was convinced that if deacon was hanging around, it would cause problems for him and my mother. And it did. But I didn’t listen. I kept pushing and pushing. And so, yeah, I guess I do wonder if I hadn’t gotten involved that maybe they might still possibly be together. So, yeah, I don’t think anyone needs me chiming in on this one.

Liam: Wow. That is, uh, like, superhuman mature of you.

Hope: Ha. Trying. But really, if it makes my mom happy having ridge back in the house, then so be it.

Liam: Well, I’m sure it’s all going to work out one way or another. By the way, we’re, like, alone with no kids. Why on earth are we talking about other people’s problems?

Hope: Why are we even saying words at this point?

Liam: Right? No words.

Hope: I don’t–

Ridge: All right. If you’re going to insist on coming over here in this cloud of musk, can we at least talk about something that we both agree on?

Bill: Like what a psycho sheila is and how she destroys everything in her path?

Ridge: That she should stay in prison for the rest of her days. Yeah, like that.

Bill: If you understand that and feel that way, why are you giving sheila so much power?

Ridge: Not sure what that means.

Bill: She is holding your marriage hostage, forrester. She targeted brooke. Brooke never would have gotten plastered after years of sobriety. Brooke is sheila’s victim as well.

Ridge: I know that!

Bill: If you know that, why are you living at your daddy’s house, sucking your thumb like you’re the injured party? Feeling sorry for yourself? Go home. Go back to your wife.

Deacon: I appreciate the chance to have my say before you throw me out into the night.

Brooke: Just say it, deacon. I don’t want to spend a lot of time on something that I’ve already decided.

Deacon: You seem nervous.

Brooke: Yeah. Yeah, I am.

Deacon: What’s the matter? You afraid forrester’s going to come barging in here? God forbid, find me in your living room?

Brooke: Well, if he does, from his point of view, it’s going to look like I’m throwing you in his face!

Deacon: Oh, come on, brooke. Come on, this is ridiculous. I’ve had access here for months, and with the exception of one little mishap, you and I have been great. We’ve been acting as parents. Tentative friends, even.

Brooke: Okay. Okay. I didn’t think I was going to have to explain this to you, but I will. This mishap was more than just a kiss. I mean, you and I have a history together that has created a lot of damage for people, including ridge. And that kiss never would have happened, deacon, if I’d listened to ridge in the first place. And now I am just standing in the ruins of my marriage, desperately trying to save it somehow. And you coming and going whenever you please, that’s certainly doesn’t help. So that is why I am making this call.

Deacon: My daughter lives here. My granddaughter lives here. Come on– I mean– look, we’re a family, too. We created a beautiful daughter together. That’s got to count for something. And most of the time, you’re aware of that. But now, for some reason, you’re getting all twisted around because of ridge and his stupid, childish games, running back to his dad’s house. It’s getting in your head. I know that you think banning me from here is somehow going to fix it. It’s not. It’s not. Please, don’t let him come between us. Don’t let ridge dictate your life. I was on an antidepressant,

Hope: I have a surprise for you that I think you’re going to like.

Liam: Oh, I like your surprises.

Hope: Hmm. Well, it involves texting donna and asking if she wanted to have a slumber party with beth. And she said, “of course.” And douglas is over at thomas’S. Which means…

Liam: Which means…

Hope: We have the house all to ourselves. All… night… long.

Liam: Best surprise ever.

Hope: Mmm. Well, that is just the first of many surprises that I have in store for you.

Liam: Oh.

Hope: I am so lucky to have you for a husband. And I love you so, so much.

Ridge: You know what I like about you, bill?

Bill: Hm?

Ridge: Absolutely nothing. I don’t have to explain my relationship to you. It’s none of your business.

Bill: All right. You can have that attitude, but it ain’t going to get you anywhere. All right? I’m trying to counsel you, give you some good advice. Go back to your wife while you still can. Don’t be freaking stupid. Don’t let the grass grow, forrester. Do it now.

Brooke: So you think I can’t make decisions on my own? Ridge is not dictating my life. This is what I want.

Deacon: You think this is coming from a place of being all about me and that’s only partially true. You are a beautiful, dynamic, smart businesswoman. You’re a chemist, for god’s sake. He ought to be groveling on the ground, begging for you to take him back.

Brooke: Okay. I heard you out.

Deacon: Have you? Have you heard a word I’ve said?

Brooke: Now, I want you to leave. Because I want my husband back. I want to be back in my marriage. You said you love me.

Deacon: I do.

Brooke: Okay. Well, then just stay away. Don’t make trouble for me by inciting ridge. Please show me the respect that you say he doesn’T. Let me choose my life, my marriage, my husband. For people who are a little intense about hydration.

Hope: Hmm.

Liam: Hm?

Hope: Hmm. Just you.

Liam: Just me. Just you. And just us.

Hope: You know, I’ve, um… I’ve been thinking and what if we just get in the car and drive down the coast one of these weekends and just stop wherever feels right?

Liam: Sounds good to me.

Hope: Hm. Hey. What are you thinking about?

Liam: My beautiful wife.

Brooke: Just come

home, ridge.

I’m going to make you wonder

why you stayed away so long.

You and I make up better

than anybody.

Ridge: Oh man,

that’s absolutely true.

[ Phone ringing ] Hey, logan.

Brooke: I’ve been thinking about you.

Ridge: Well, there’s a coincidence.

Brooke: Good thoughts, I hope.

Ridge: The best.

Brooke: I miss you, ridge. This isn’t right. We shouldn’t be on the phone together. You should be here in our house, our home with me, your wife.

Ridge: That’s how it was supposed to be.

Brooke: And it will be. We will be together again. I’m sure of it. I told deacon and hope that he is no longer welcome here. I’m not letting anyone or anything keep us apart ever again. And certainly not deacon.

Ridge: Okay.

Brooke: Okay. I love you. Sweet dreams.

Ridge: This romance is

going to last forever.

Brooke: I love you, ridge.

Ridge: I love you, logan.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nikki: Well! Hi, sweetheart!

Nick: Look at you. Looking like a million bucks.

Nikki: Oh-oh-oh! Thank you.

Nick: Hopefully, victoria is feeling as relaxed and rejuvenated as you look.

Nikki: If that’s your way of asking if she was able to loosen the hold that ashland has on her, the answer is no.

Nick: Don’t tell me that whole trip was a waste of time.

Nikki: It was meant to bring clarity, and she has come back to town feeling more conflicted than she ever was.

Nick: I mean, what are we gonna do? How do we convince victoria that ashland is toxic and that she’s better off without him?

Nikki: [ Sighs ]

Ashland: Don’t open your eyes.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Why shouldn’t I?

Ashland: It might break the spell. You see, I’ve been trying to figure out a way to make last night last forever.

Victoria: Are you afraid that I might see things differently in the cold light of day, that I might regret taking you back?

Ashland: The thought had possibly crossed my mind a time or two, yes.

Victoria: Thank you. It’s a beautiful morning. I’m happy to be here… with you. And I very much appreciate you agreeing to take things slowly.

Ashland: We can take all the time you need, as long as you haven’t changed your mind.

Victoria: I still love you.

Ashland: I want this moment to last forever.

Victoria: Unfortunately, my family…

[ Sighs ] …Especially my father, think that I am incapable of making up my own mind about anything.

Ashland: Hmm.

Victoria: And they will continue to judge me and feel compelled to control me unless…

Ashland: Unless what?

Victoria: Unless I take a stand and let them know, in no uncertain terms, that it ends now.

Ashland: What exactly are you saying?

Victoria: I choose you.

Adam: So, has locke finally left town?

Victor: Well, if you had asked me that question last night, I would have said the restraining order did the trick. Ah, but that son of a bitch is still in town.

Adam: Have you seen victoria since she’s got back?

Victor: Yeah. Apparently, she and nikki had a wonderful time in switzerland.

Adam: Do you have any sense how my sister’s feeling, which way her heart’s leaning?

Victor: That’s not important right now, son. What you and I need to focus on is to get rid of that ashland locke, you hear? There’s no reason for him to stay in town.

Adam: Well, he has a reason. He loves victoria. Now that she’s back, it’s gonna be extremely hard to get rid of him.

Kyle: Saw allie heading out for a run earlier.

Summer: She seems to be settling in.

Jack: Yeah, I think she was initially overwhelmed by all the noise of a big family, but she’s relaxed a bit, and she’s finding her place in it all.

Summer: Speaking of family, mom flew off to savannah at the crack of dawn after daniel called her.

Jack: I hope everything’s alright.

Summer: It’s fine. She’s just been working so hard and doing so much lately, i figured she needed a diversion, and daniel was happy to provide it.

Jack: A diversion far away from diane.

Summer: Things were really escalating between those two.

Jack: She maybe explain it to you?

Summer: Uh, she didn’t admit to anything, except for her deep and abiding hatred for diane.

Jack: So, you jumped into action.

Summer: I had to, for everyone’s sake. Diane and kyle are in this fragile place right now. They’re getting to know each other and figuring out what their relationship is gonna look like. The last thing they need is my mom declaring war on her.

Kyle: You made the right move. I appreciate it.

Jack: I appreciate it, too.

[ Doorbell rings ] Thank you, summer.

Diane: Good morning, jack. Glorious day, isn’t it? And I have a fabulous idea how to kick it off.

Jack: So, what is this fabulous idea of yours?

Diane: I would love to treat everyone for breakfast, including harrison if he’s here.

Kyle: He’s already down for his morning nap. Someone got him all wound up last night, and it took forever to get him to sleep.

Jack: Guilty as charged.

Diane: Oh, who wouldn’t want to spend as much time as possible with that beautiful boy? As a fellow doting grandparent, I stand in solidarity with jack.

Jack: Unfortunately, I have a lot of important phone calls to make this morning, so I’ll have to take a rain check on breakfast.

Diane: Oh, I’m sorry to hear that.

Kyle: Well, next time. It’ll just be the three of us, assuming you’re up for it, summer.

Summer: Why not?

Diane: Okay!

Summer: [ Laughs ] I’m gonna let the nanny know that we’re headed out. I’ll meet you at the car.

Kyle: Alright.

Jack: Um…did you want to talk to me about something?

Summer: I just wanted to make sure that you’re okay.

Jack: Why wouldn’t I be?

Summer: I could see how tense things were between you and mom, and she mentioned that you guys had a fight. She didn’t tell me what it was about, but, based on the rant that she went on about diane, i could figure it out. I just think that she’s put you in an incredibly difficult position.

Jack: I’m fine. Sweet of you to worry, but you better get going. You got a full day ahead of you.

Summer: Yeah, but I just —

Jack: Listen. Everything is going to work out the way it’s supposed to.

Summer: [ Sighs ] You really believe that, don’t you?

Jack: I do. Get going. Have fun.

Summer: Alright.

[ Door closes ]

Nikki: The simple truth is that victoria is tired of listening to our advice.

Nick: She’s shutting us out when she needs us the most.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] You know, she’s a grown woman. She has been through some incredibly tough times. She could have shut down entirely after everything that happened with J.T., But she didn’T. She pulled herself together.

Nick: Then billy came into her life, and that fell apart.

Nikki: Then she managed to open her heart again.

Nick: And in walked ashland.

Nikki: You know, she likes to promote this image that she’s tough, but that’s all it is, is an image. She’s led by her emotions, just like the rest of us.

Nick: Hatred is an emotion she should hang onto as far as ashland is concerned.

Nikki: Believe me. I hear you. But how many times have you forgiven phyllis or sharon? How many times have I done that with victor? Letting go of love is one of the most difficult things anyone can do.

Nick: So, what are we supposed to do, mom? Just sit around and cross our fingers and hope that ashland doesn’t hurt her anymore?

Nikki: Well, darling, I don’t know what else we can do.

Nick: How did you leave things with her?

Nikki: She said she wanted her space, so I gave it to her. But I’m concerned because i haven’t heard from her since last night.

Victoria: This situation with my family has become untenable. You know, they’re never gonna stop trying to interfere in my personal life or allow me to make my own choices. It was my decision whether or not I wanted to forgive you and if I believe that you truly love me.

Ashland: I’m so glad you’ve realized that I do.

Victoria: And if I try to go to them with this decision, you know they’re not going to accept it. They’re gonna try to manipulate the situation to try to drive us apart.

Ashland: We’re not gonna let that happen.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] I’m so sick and tired of them trying to control me. Sometimes it feels like I can’t breathe anymore.

[ Cellphone rings ]

[ Sighs ] Yes, it’s my mother. I’m sure she’s wondering if I’m doing anything impetuous or human or enjoyable. I wish you could have seen them trying to convince me to stay at the ranch last night.

Ashland: I’m sure they were afraid you would find your way back to me.

Victoria: That’s childish. It’s absolutely ridiculous. Completely omitting the fact that my father used his power and his influence to try to keep you away from your son, to pressure you into leaving town. It’s totally inexcusable.

[ Cellphone rings ]

[ Sighs ]

Ashland: Victor?

Victoria: I don’t want to talk to him, either.

Ashland: It might be important.

Victoria: Well, I’m sure that he just wants to make sure that I’m dutifully accepting what he’s done for the good of me and of course for the good of my family.

Ashland: Well, you might be missing out on a rousing speech.

Victoria: I don’t care! I don’t want to hear it anymore. It’s all been lies. The only thing I want is I want to start over, away from newman, away from this place, away from all of the people. And I don’t want to just imagine it this time. I actually want to do it.

Ashland: You really mean that?

Victoria: Yes.

Ashland: Then we have a lot to discuss.

Victoria: Yes, we do.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Diane: So, phyllis is all the way in savannah?

Summer: Visiting daniel and his family.

Diane: Oh, well, that’s nice. I guess she’s a doting grandmother, too. Lucy, right?

Summer: I don’t know anyone who spoils kids better than my mom.

Diane: Oh, well, then, let the games begin. I have lot of time and presents to make up for. I promise I am going to take advantage of every minute I get to spend with harrison.

Kyle: Well, it turns out you might have more time to get to know your grandson than you originally thought.

Diane: I know the other day you mentioned the possibility, but I didn’t want to get my hopes up.

Kyle: Well, it was in the preliminary stages. Everything was very hush-hush.

Summer: But we can talk about it now. Jabot may be making an offer to purchase marchetti, in which case we would move the fashion house from milan to genoa city.

Diane: That’s incredible! Wow! Oh, and this is why you said you wouldn’t have to give up your dream job to move back home. This is a bold move for jabot.

Kyle: Mm. It was all summer’s brilliant idea.

Summer: Well, I can’t take all the credit. You put together a presentation for the board that is so layered and exciting that it deserves an award.

Kyle: Eh, she’s biased.

Summer: No, I’m not. Jack thinks it’s brilliant, too.

Kyle: The pitch is this morning. So, fingers crossed we get approval.

Diane: I’ll cross mine, too. Just know. I am so very proud of you. This is wonderful. When I think of you moving back here and being able to be part of your life, I…oh, I don’t want to be one of those people who cries in public, but…

Kyle: No, no, it’s okay.

Diane: Ah, I’m just so happy, you know, for you and for me. You are so young, and yet you’ve accomplished so much. This news is more than I ever dreamed of. Tell me all about marchetti.

Victoria: I do believe that you fell in love with me as deeply as you claim. And I know that it wasn’t part of your plan. I know that this was probably the last thing that you ever expected to happen, just like i never expected to forgive you for lying to me. But I love you. The love that I have for you is undeniable, and it’s so strong. I know you. I know your quirks. I know your flaws. I know even a few of your triggers. But it’s a part of who you are, and I love you, all of you.

Ashland: Well, acceptance is one thing, but wanting to run away with me, that’s —

Victoria: Away with you, yes. Away from the constraints and the burden of my family. I know you probably question my sincerity after I lied to you to try to get you to take that payoff, what you did. But this time I mean it.

Ashland: I’ll tell you what. I’m not gonna make any grand, sweeping promises. I’ll let my actions and my love for you speak for themselves. But loving you means I want you to consider all the consequences.

Victoria: I have considered them. It’s not gonna be easy walking away from the company that i love. But it’s worth it.

Ashland: I’m talking about your children. Billy’s not gonna be happy with this.

Victoria: He would never keep me from seeing them.

Ashland: Are you sure about that? Victor orchestrated a restraining order against me, and kyle went right along with it. Are you certain that billy’s gonna be okay with me spending time with his kids?

Victoria: Don’t worry about billy. I’m sure that we’ll be able to come up with some sort of an arrangement.

Ashland: Okay. And what about your parents? What about nick?

Victoria: [ Scoffs ] Well, they’ll either accept that my love for you has brought me to a place of forgiveness, or they won’T. I can’t keep trying to convince them.

Ashland: A wise decision. It would be a pointless exercise.

[ Both laugh ]

Victoria: Of course it’s a wise decision because I am the smartest woman that you know.

Ashland: [ Laughs ] Yes, you are. Listen, um… when you declare your independence from your family, I would suggest that you leave me out of it altogether. One mention of my name might trigger a reaction from them that you might not be prepared for.

Adam: Look — we just have to face it, that there is nothing any of us can do to stop ashland’s drive to be with victoria.

Victor: That seems to be the case, doesn’t it?

Adam: Well, the only person that can persuade him to leave town or convince him to stay is her, and I have a strong suspicion that she wants him to stick around.

Victor: [ Chuckles ] That fits your narrative, doesn’t it? You don’t think victoria should be running the company anymore because she’s involved with ashland locke. Think again, son.

Adam: My ambitions are not the issue here. You’re refusing to see what’s right in front of your face — that victoria is still in love with ashland locke, and this trip that you planned for her to get away so she could get over locke may have just done the opposite and may have just made her want him even more. So, what do you think we should do now? – Hey honey. – Hey dad.

Jack: Hey, there. How was your run?

Allie: Hi. It was fantastic. I love going out there. It gets my endorphins going — perfect way for a reset.

Jack: I know the feeling well. I was a runner for a lot of years. Now I have to do exercises kinder to my knees.

[ Groans ] Hey, it’s not a big deal. I can still hold my own on a tennis court.

Allie: Oh, no, it’s not that. It’s just, um, my dad and I used to go running together.

Jack: Is that right?

Allie: Yeah, he had to stop because of his knees.

Jack: Uh-huh. I’m terribly sorry. Genetics?

Allie: Yeah, probably.

Jack: Well, I have two things to say. I apologize for messing up your running with your dad, though I’m sure you found other ways to spend time together, and second, think about stretching. I’m telling you. Knee pain is no joke.

Allie: I got to find a backup exercise that’s easier on the joints.

Jack: You know what? There’s a new pilates place opening opposite chancellor park on main street, brand-new. You should check it out. You’re gonna be in town a little while.

Allie: Pilates? Okay. Okay, I will…if someone from the family joins me. My priority is getting to know all of you guys better.

Jack: Well, I love the sound of that, and whatever you want to see, whatever you want to do, I promise you, someone will want to accompany you.

Allie: You know ashley’s taking me to the jabot lab this afternoon?

Jack: Wow! I remember the first time I took keemo there.

Allie: The lab where he worked?

Jack: Yep.

Allie: How did that happen? How did he get hired?

Jack: Well, that’s easy. He loved the place. No, he was a very curious mind. He — he always wanted to know all the details on how our products were made, including the fragrances. Yeah, he took special interest there, and it was clear early on he had a real natural ability with chemistry. So, I encouraged ashley to hire him part-time as her assistant, and before long he gave up his job working at the family restaurant and came to work for her full-time.

Allie: God, I wonder what that was like for him.

Jack: He had an infectious joy and enthusiasm about the work. I’m sure if you asked him, he would tell you —

Allie: That it wasn’t work at all.

Jack: Yeah, we’re definitely talking about the same guy.

Summer: After I did more investigating, we realized that marchetti needed financial restructuring in order to stay afloat. So, kyle and I started kicking around the idea of jabot using this as an opportunity to get back into the fashion business.

Kyle: It’s a bold move. And marchetti is a big fish. It’ll take some work.

Summer: But we’re a good team.

Kyle: The best.

Diane: [ Laughs ] I’m so excited for you.

Summer: Well, nothing’s written into stone until we get approval from the board.

Diane: Oh, they’ll love the idea. They have to. It’s genius.

Summer: Hopefully.

Diane: Yes, and this is going to be another big move for you…again. So, if there’s anything I can do to help ease the transition, I’m right here.

Summer: Thank you.

Diane: Well, yeah, that’s what family does, or should do. I wish I could go back in time and be there for you for all these big milestones and even the quiet, everyday ones, like watching your sports or picking you up from school. But [Sighs] I want you to know that I want to be there for you now.

Kyle: Well, assuming everything goes well, we will have plenty on our plates and welcome all the help we can get.

Ashland: Ah, nice to see you, diane.

Diane: Hello, ashland.

Ashland: Hello, summer, kyle.

Summer: Is there something that we can help you with?

Ashland: Well, I just wanted you to know that I’m aware that you weren’t the one behind the restraining order, keeping me from seeing harrison.

Adam: Look — all I’m saying is that you need to be prepared. Ashland still has a hold on victoria.

Victor: There’s no way that she will be pulled back into that man’s clutches again.

Adam: Please tell me one time she hasn’t been confronted with the truth about ashland and run back into his arms. Why do you think anything is gonna be different now?

Victor: Because she’s too smart…too strong to fall for that man’s bull again.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Adam: Everything alright?

Victor: She wants to meet in her office, and she wants me to bring you along.

Nikki: Did you just get the same text I did?

Nick: From vic, asking us to meet her in the office? I wonder what that’s about.

Nikki: I don’t know. But I have a bad feeling about this.

Your mission:

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Allie: So, on my runs, I’ve been listening to this new podcast.

Jack: Uh-huh. What’s it called?

Allie: It’s called “the grinning soul.”

Jack: “The grinning soul” — oh, I like the name.

Allie: Mm-hmm.

Jack: No, I never heard of it. What’s it about?-

Allie: All sorts of things. The host talks about everything from insomnia to feeling out of place. But right now I’m listening to this great episode about whether you should follow your bliss versus having, like, a game plan for your career and life.

Jack: Interesting.

Allie: Yeah. I’m curious. Where do you fall between that?

Jack: Um…I’m all for people finding happiness and fun after they develop a really good game plan.

Allie: Exactly! Okay, I know. Otherwise, it’s like whatever happens, happens, right?

Jack: So, who’s on the other side of this argument?

Allie: Sharon, your friend from the coffeehouse. Yeah, she’s pretty cool.

Jack: Yeah, she is. She’s a very special lady and apparently a fan of the, uh, “the grinning soul.”

Allie: Okay, it was actually her son noah.

Jack: Oh, noah. Yeah, you’ve mentioned him before.

Allie: Yeah, he’s pretty cool. Turns out we’re both listeners.

Jack: Noah’s a pretty interesting guy. And I would think on the finding-your-bliss front, his artist personality might lean that way, frustrating though that might be.

Allie: Yeah, I know, right?

Jack: Sounds like a pretty vibrant conversation.

Allie: Yeah, yeah. It was something. Anyway, I got to go. Ashley’s gonna meet me before we get to the lab.

Jack: Wait. She’s not picking you up at the house?

Allie: Oh, well, we’re meeting at the coffeehouse.

Jack: Oh.

Allie: Yeah, it’s a central location.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, and if you go there, you’re likely to run into the best coffee in town.

Allie: Okay, jack. I’m gonna see you later.

Jack: [ Laughs ] Bye!

Allie: See you later.

[ Door closes ]

Kyle: I’ve got nothing to say to you, ashland.

Ashland: It’s a hell of a thing, you know, to be told that I can no longer have any contact with this boy that I have loved for so long. Now, it makes sense that victor would do something like that. It’s right up his alley, manipulating the legal system. But what I find appalling is that you would go along with it so easily, that you would put harrison in a potentially painful situation so you could help victor newman exact his revenge.

Kyle: What’s appalling is a father telling his son he has a terminal illness, then pushing him to move overseas so he doesn’t witness your so-called “demise.”

Ashland: I’m leaving town. I would like to see harrison before I go just to say goodbye.

Kyle: Not a chance.

Ashland: So, to be clear, you are prioritizing your desire to punish me over what’s best for harrison.

Kyle: I will always put my son’s well-being first. That’s why I’m doing this. My willingness to go along with this restraining order has nothing to do with victor’s animosity towards you and everything to do with how poisonous you are. I will always protect harrison from that.

Summer: It’s done. There is no need to discuss this any further. We need to get to work.

Kyle: Yeah. You’re right. I’m sorry. We have to go.

Diane: Uh, no, I-i understand. I’ll get myself back to the athletic club.

Kyle: Thanks.

Diane: [ Sighs ] That couldn’t have been easy.

Ashland: It was not.

Diane: For what it’s worth, I’m sorry you’re going through this.

Ashland: It’s worth a lot. Thank you.

Diane: I’m sure there are plenty of people in this town who would pay for the pleasure of slapping me with a restraining order — what they wouldn’t give to keep me from reclaiming a place in kyle’s life. I’m just lucky that he’s a strong and independent thinker. He doesn’t allow other people to tell him how to feel or act.

Ashland: There’s a real power in taking that stance. It can come as a shock to people who are used to getting their way.

Victor: Hello, sweetheart.

Victoria: Hello, dad.

[ Door closes ]

Victor: I was getting concerned when you didn’t answer the phone.

Victoria: Well, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. I needed to frame my thoughts before I shared them with you.

Adam: Well, I’m just honored to have been included.

Victoria: This is something that the entire family needs to hear, regardless of how you and I feel about one another.

Nick: We miss something?

Victor: No, we just got here.

Victoria: Thank you all for coming. I know that you all have very busy lives — busy running around behind my back, pulling strings and making things happen that I would never approve of, orchestrating events so that the world spins exactly the way you want it to. Right, dad?

Victor: What are you talking about?

Victoria: You know, if only i had taken more time and paid closer attention, I could have predicted what your next moves might be. I mean, after all, you and I, we think a lot alike.

Victor: Not lately, unfortunately.

Victoria: You wanted ashland gone. You wanted to eliminate any reason that he might have to stick around. I’m sure that michael was probably just salivating when you told him the plan. He had that restraining order filed in no time flat. He probably had the judge on speed dial, ready to push it through. Those wheels of justice, they never spin faster than they do when victor newman is footing the bill. You, dad, you — you, who always preached to us and talked to us about the importance of family, you cut ashland off from his son. This time you’ve just gone too far. From the very first touch.

Summer: The presentation went really well.

Jack: I’ll say! It was electric.

Summer: We haven’t pitched like that together in forever.

Kyle: Turns out we still have our same rhythm.

Jack: I’m telling you. Once you left the room, the board of directors ran out of superlatives talking about your presentation. That’s why they voted yes.

Kyle: Unanimously.

Summer: Which is fantastic. It’s everything I’ve been wanting.

Kyle: We still have our work cut out for us. We have to pitch to angelina marchetti.

Jack: Which she’s still on board with this, yes?

Summer: One-hundred percent. When I told her just how bad things have gotten and how much money it was gonna take to dig her out, she was fully on board. She’s gonna welcome this chance to save her company, especially since jabot’s terms are more than fair.

Jack: That’s what I want to hear.

Summer: Is this really happening?

Kyle: Mm-hmm.

Summer: That we’re gonna be able to work together as a team again in genoa city with our friends and our family?

Jack: Keep in mind, this transition means a lot of late nights, a lot of long days.

Kyle: We wouldn’t have it any other way.

Summer: And if I can just figure out a way to get my mom and diane to peacefully coexist, everything would be perfect.

Ashland: It’s just so frustrating — no recourse, no way to fight this.

Diane: You don’t seem like the type of man who’s used to hearing the word “no.”

[ Both laugh ]

Ashland: You’re right. I don’t have much experience with feeling helpless, which is ironic, considering the fact that I put myself in this position by pretending to be helpless against a disease.

Diane: You did a terrible thing to the people you call family… to your wife. You told a lie that they claim is unforgivable. By the way, that is something that victor’s done countless times over the years. It’s unfair, what he’s done to you.

Ashland: You know, I used to have contempt for people who would claim something was unfair. I would say to them, “where in the hell did you come up with this fantasy that anything in life is fair?” But this — shutting me out of this boy’s life after so many years… I’m sorry.

Diane: No, don’t be. I wish there was something i could do to help you. But, as you know, I’m in a difficult situation. I’ve just started to rebuild my relationship with my own son.

Ashland: I understand. I can’t ask you to jeopardize your own situation by helping me with mine.

Diane: Well, I hope we can continue being friends, despite all this.

Ashland: Well, that would be nice. But I’m afraid it won’t be possible.

Diane: Oh?

Ashland: I meant what I said. I’m leaving town very soon.

Victoria: Before mom and i went away, I begged you to leave ashland alone. He was focused on protecting his relationship with his son. He had moved on.

Nick: No, he hadn’t, vic. We paid him a fortune to leave us alone, but he stuck around, planning god knows what.

Victoria: So, you of all people are alright with ashland having his son ripped away from him.

Nick: Vic, he practically begged kyle and summer to take harrison to milan so he wouldn’t have to see him in the late stages of his nonexistent illness.

Victoria: He loves that little boy. And dad — dad knows it. That restraining order wasn’t just to eliminate any legitimate reason for ashland to stay in town. Dad wanted to hurt him in the harshest and most painful way possible. Well, congratulations, dad.

Victor: Do you honestly think I regret for one moment what I’ve done to that bastard? He has finally reaped what he has sown! And as far as that little boy is concerned, harrison, he’s better off without that bastard in his life!

Adam: Why do you even care, victoria?

Nikki: He seems determined to stay in town and cause problems for everybody. That little boy should be protected.

Victoria: You mean me. I need protecting.

Nick: Why are you passionately defending this guy like he’s some kind of victim?

Victoria: You have no idea what’s best for me, nicholas. None of you do! And I am so sick to death of you trying to control me and manipulate me. This ends now. I’m done. I’m leaving.

Nikki: What exactly do you mean?

Victor: You’re leaving what?

Victoria: I’m leaving the company. I’m leaving this town. I’m going someplace where I can start over.

Dry skin is

sensitive skin, too.

Jack: I’m as optimistic as anyone, but I don’t think we’re ever gonna see peace between diane and your mother.

Summer: [ Sighs ] I wish someone would tell me exactly what happened between those two. Or was it something bigger between you and my mom, because I feel like I’m missing some important piece —

Jack: It doesn’t really matter who did what or said what to whom.

Summer: I think it does.

Jack: What’s important right now is that we take a moment to appreciate all that we have. Count our many blessings, and they are many. You and kyle and harrison are moving back to town for good!

Kyle: We’re so excited.

Jack: And jabot is expanding. My heart is full. So, I think it’s incumbent on all of us to hold onto those things and think about life moving forward.

Diane: Well, it’s too bad you’re leaving. I hardly got a chance to know you.

Ashland: Well, I wouldn’t say that. We confided in each other about many of our sins.

Diane: [ Laughs ]

Ashland: I think we are kindred spirits.

Diane: I guess you’re right. Good luck on your next adventure.

Ashland: I appreciate hearing that, especially from someone who actually means it.

Diane: If you’re ever back in town, if I’m still here, I’d like to buy you a drink.

Ashland: I’ll hold you to it.

Diane: You know, coming back to genoa city has given me a chance for a fresh start. I wish the same for you.

Ashland: That’s exactly why I’m leaving genoa city. And I think it might be the best decision I’ve ever made.

Victor: Will you come to your senses? You can’t possibly mean this. You aren’t going anywhere!

Victoria: Oh, I can imagine how difficult it must be for you, dad, trying to imagine that I’m not going to fall in line, and I’m not gonna do exactly what it is that you want me to do. But you know what? From now on, I am gonna live my life as I see fit.

Nikki: Alright, let’s just take a step back and talk about this.

Victoria: Oh, talk. But by talk, you mean listen, follow directions. Well, I am so sick and tired of playing by your rules. Why don’t you find another puppet?

Nick: Vic, this is crazy, alright? Doesn’t make sense.

Victoria: I’m choosing freedom, nicholas. I would think that you of all people would understand that.

Nick: By choosing a man who lied to you… who used you, who tried to bleed this company dry?

Nikki: Darling, we’re just trying to understand. Are you talking about leaving with ashland?

Victor: Please be honest with us. Is ashland locke coercing you in any way?

Victoria: You’re not hearing me. And even if you could hear me, you wouldn’t understand, because you never understand, and you know what? For the first time ever, I don’t care if you understand! For the first time in my life, I am proclaiming my independence. I’m reclaiming my life. That’s why I’m leaving.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Groans ] Brad: Wakey wakey.

[ Sighs ] Ahh! Hair of the dog?

[ Sighs ] Ugh. Water? Aspirin. Dr. Obrecht: Does your poor little head hurt? Just wait, britta. I’ll bring the real pain.

[ Sighs ]

[ Breathes sharply ]

The role of brando corbin

is temporarily being played

by brad schmidt. Hey, brando. Hey. Sorry I’m late. No, you’re not late — I’m just early. You okay? Yeah. Mother needed, uh, help moving furniture. It’s, uh — yeah, I’ve got to tell you — it’s a hell of a thing, you and sasha putting up gladys. That’s definitely one way to describe it. You know what? I can take her off your hands and just put her up in a little place, if you want. Yeah, thanks, but there really is no need. Sasha seems to be happy about it. Really? Yeah. Can you believe that? No. Hey, look, whatever makes sasha happy makes me happy. And besides, you got enough family on your plate already.

[ Horse whinnies softly ]

[ Chuckles ] It’s impressive.

[ Horse whinnies softly ] He is. Leo like him? Oh, he’s doing backflips.

[ Horse whinnies softly ] That, uh — that kid is really blossoming. Those therapy sessions have done wonders. Now, you and olivia have really come through for him. Well, we’re his parents. Did you expect anything less?

[ Horse whinnies ] No, not at all. You, uh, you always stand up for your family. Which is how — how I know [Sighs] Come next week, the shareholders’ meeting that, uh, elq will finally be back under family control. Carly: Then let me be your friend. Let me help you save elq from valentin. I wonder if that’s the first time the words “save elq” have been uttered by anyone other than a quartermaine. I was a full-fledged quartermaine once upon a time. Mm. Twice, if you count my marriage to jason. And now? Now I’m just an honorary member. Mm. [ Clears throat ] What? I’m sorry. I’m just imagining monica having a sudden urge to toss salt over her shoulder. Anyway, the police dropped me off at a psychiatric ward. There, they put me on a 72-hour hold for observation. And that’s when they were able to diagnose me.

[ Sighs ] With what? Schizophrenia, man. Aunt stella, is this the secret that you’ve been keeping from me all these years? You didn’t travel all the way to new york and back to get answers from me. I know it’s hard. But we’re just getting started, curtis. And now is not the time to turn away. Talk to your father.

Schizophrenia. You know, when I first heard a-about your arrest… and learned that they put you in an institution, I thought it was because of the war — ptsd, depression, mania, something like that.

[ Breathes deeply ] Not this. Hearing it the first time was a surprise for me, too. Were there any signs when you were younger? Did — did anyone see any signs before the arrest? Well — stella: You’ve been playing out this moment a long time, marshall. At least since you decided to look for your son. You knew it might come to this, and now it has. The moment has arrived. Time to meet it. All right. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Go away! Wach auf!

Nein! Steh auf und begruesse

den morgen… give it — …mit einem laecheln!

Schnell! Give it back! I’m trying to sleep!

[ Sighs ] It’s nearly noon! Actually, it’s closer to 10:00 — okay. Go away. I don’t feel well. Oh, my god. Easy, easy, easy. Put her there. Ohhh. Here’s the deal, britta. From us, you will receive a long overdue course correction.

[ Sighs ] You have lost your way. Britt. No one hates this more than me. Maybe except you…

[ Sighs ] …But welcome to your intervention. Ta-da. Monica and i are doing great. For us. Well, I think the détente that you have with monica is reason enough not to risk upsetting that balance by involving yourselfin elq matters. You’re really turning your nose up at my offer? Are you really doing that? Look. It’s a generous offer. But even your own son turned it down the first time you floated it. You’re — michael works for aurora — you’re the owner. You’re really opposed to me buying in? No, I’m opposed to you putting yourself at great risk on my behalf. Aurora trades on the open market, right? So I don’t really need your permission to buy in. I can help you whether you like it or not. Always here to help — you know that — ’cause you’re my family. Indeed, I do. Especially, uh, family that accepts my help. Things still no good with michael? Not likely at this point. Sasha told me things went in his favor at the hearing yesterday. I assumed maybe that might, uh, clear the way for a truce. Not after I gave my testimony. I just — look, I just wanted to get to the truth. I might have said some things that people didn’t want to hear. But, uh, no decision is gonna help… me and michael at this point. Sorry to hear that. I mean, is there anything I can do to help? Maybe talk to him? Yeah, thanks for the offer, but, uh… I don’t want anything to alienate you and michael. Alright, well, listen, just let me know if anything changes, okay? Yeah, yeah. And just so you know, I don’t — I don’t — I, uh… things are gonna get worse between me and michael. Dex: Boss? What is it? We’ve got problems.

Both of you — ow, ow, ow. Vamoose!

Schnell, vite! This behavior is unacceptable. I am not the one who barged into my hotel room. How did you even get in? We told olivia we thought you were going to go full world tour guns n’ roses. And that there might be alcohol poisoning. Which might involve emts and bring bad publicity for the hotel. And that load of bull made a five-star hotelier violate one of their residents’ privacy? No, she said something like, “blah, blah, blah, privacy policy, yadda yadda” — I’m paraphrasing. Oh. Then how? I created a distraction. While I swiped a housekeeper’s key card. Wow. After all the trouble you’ve both been in, neither of you can make it to 10:30 without at least a little crime spree.

[ Scoffs ] A hotel might not be concerned about your reputation, but you definitely should be, okay? Especially once that G.H. Rumor mill gets going. You’re going to leave poor terry defending you while the hospital board tries to take your head.

[ Scoffs ] Wow. There should be a law against this much melodrama this early in the morning. Melodrama? This is hardly melodrama, britta.

[ Sighs ] This is tragedy. Your reputation and livelihood will be in peril once word spreads of your bravura performance. Performance? W-what performance? It’s not my fault I got dunked by an exhibitionist himbo dropping literally out of the sky. And objectively speaking — quite hot. Yes, by all accounts, cody der fallschirmspringer is a specimen worthy of study. But we are referring to your swan dive and the tantrum that preceded it. And since when did speaking my truth

[Stammers] Turn into a tantrum? Since it involves public displays of disorderly conduct.

[ Scoffs ] “Disorderly”? I was simply calling out the romantic industrial complex! Uh, it was sloppy.

[ Scoffs ] Okay, you know what? I’m sure, like most things I say, it fell on deaf ears, and no one will notice anything. Ah, yes. It’s all over your social media feeds. Of all the humiliations you have brought upon this family, britta, this might be the most devastating. You have become a meme. Hold on. Wait, wait, wait. H-how did this — w-who re– who recorded me? So the judge — she sent me back to see some doctors. And the doctors — they told me — told me again what was wrong with me. It took me a while to come around to it. Even now, I wake up some days wondering if it wasn’t all just a bad dream. But that notion doesn’t last. No, mnh-mnh, no, no. I get up. I get up and feel my — my aches [Chuckles] And my pains, and I — I know that’s real. I look around, I see the same room I went to sleep in the night before. I see my clothes the way I left them, and I know — I know that’s real. And I go outside, and I smell the air.

[ Inhales sharply ] Good or bad, it don’t matter. The air is the air. Good or bad weather, I-I step out into the world, I close my eyes, and I embrace the noise around me. And I know — I know ain’t nobody after me and that I’m safe in my body — I’m safe in the world. And I know that’s real. I step forward into my day every day. And I walk, curtis. I walk toward my music, and I know that’s real. I’ve had no break with reality — I stay on my meds, and my meds keep me level. And you really don’t feel anything? Sure, sure, the side effects of the drugs, but…that beats the alternative, don’t it? Great. Now that it’s been decided, I’m gonna go find a bottle of champagne, and we’re gonna celebrate. Could you be trying to ditch me to go off and call your broker before michael intervenes? Isn’t the fact that you’re trying to end-run me reason enough just to let this go? What is so impossible about letting me help you? Because I didn’t ask for your help. But you’re getting it, anyway. But I don’t need it. Everybody needs help, especially those too proud to ask for it. Or doesn’t it matter if you get elq back? I come bearing gifts.

[ Horse whinnies ] It’s to mount over the stable door. I have a sign-maker on stand-by to forge something for you as soon as you and olivia and leo decide on a name. Maybe “the lucky leo ranch”? I don’t know. I will submit your suggestion to the decision makers. Mm. In the meantime, let’s not pretend that you came down here to look at the horse. Yeah, look, I just —

[ Sighs ] I wanted to talk things out. I-I hate being at odds with you. Nor I you. Ned, you are the one who insisted all along that valentin needs to go. Mm-hmm. He has done an admirable job, but he’s not a quartermaine. Exactly. I am. You, me, and drew — all quartermaines. And we all want to keep the company in the family. Mm-hmm. We just disagree as to how. No, I — come on, I wouldn’t — I wouldn’t go that far. Look, we all want a lean, mean elq, even more nimble and profitable than it is now. So how do we make that happen?

[ Scoffs ] D-drew and I have been negotiating against ourselves. We made you an offer, but, you know, you haven’t budged. Well, I haven’t found much in your offer worth budging on.

[ Sighs ] I’ve given a lifetime to elq, and in return, you offered what? Busywork and an empty title. You can do better. Tell me how. You know how. Look, drew and I agree that ceo is off the table so put something else on it. You must have been working on a — on a counter, right? So, come on, let’s hear it. Brando, can you excuse us for a sec? Of course. What’s the problem? Last night’s coffee shipment has been held up on the docks. Did you talk to the harbormaster? ‘Cause vince will clear this — vince got fired yesterday.

[ Chuckles ] There’s some new guy in charge now. He wasn’t receptive to my request to speed along the inspection. Okay. The product can sit on the docks for a little while. It’s coffee business — it’s not gonna get impounded. But this staff change — it concerns me. I’ll look into it. Okay. What’s the other — you said “problems,” right? What’s the other problem? Someone’s trying to cut into your market share. We’ve got competition.

Of course I want elq back in quartermaine hands. It’s my daughter’s legacy. It’s your legacy. Uh, maybe, to a lesser degree, sure. What are you talking about? Do you not feel like a quartermaine yet? At best, a quartermaine-come-lately. Oh, my god, are you blind? Don’t you see the way monica looks at you? Or how michael and brook lynn look up to you? Or how ned is threatened by you? I’ve been around many quartermaines, and I can say, from up close and personal observation, you fit right in. Coming from you, I’m not sure I take that as a compliment.

[ Laughs ] Okay. Not a quartermaine like edward — although he’s very nice down deep. You’re the other quartermaine — you’re lila. And there’s no better compliment than that. Sonny: What competition? The managers at the grill and every city franchise of haven bistro have canceled their contracts. They’re declining delivery of corinthos coffee, buying from someone else instead. I know I’m new, and this is probably just a drop in the bucket. What’s it feel like to you? A sign of things to come. Think it’s wu? Wu and I have an arrangement. My connections on the docks are important to her. And vince was my guy. Think they’re connected? I do. And I think I know who’s behind both. You taped me? Ow, no! No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I-I did not tape you! The recording is digital. Oh! Aaahhhh! Dr. Obrecht: Stop! This cavalcade of indignity’s gone on long enough. Damn it, brad!

[ Grunts ] Why?! I did it for you! So you can look back on it one day and see how far you’d come. Y-y-you be reclining safely in your as-yet-unmet-husband’s arms, watching this old video of you at your lowest. We can only hope this is her lowest. A-and you and he will laugh a-and laugh a-and just —

[ Laughs ] Yes, and you can sit there watching this with a few dozen cats, looking on with disdain on a loop, over and over and over. It’s part of the historical record. Okay. Does the “historical record” show that I was the wronged party?! That I was dive-bombed by a beefcake?! Oh. Okay, look, nobody’s saying you could have known that hot hunk-o-man was going to chicken little right on top of you. But some might say that this was a prayer answered. You had just said something about love falling from out of the sky.

[ Snorts ] And you think this is what I meant? As far as downward projectiles go, you could do worse. We’re way off topic. We’re concerned that you haven’t really been yourself. For a long time now. Instead of your mean-but-in-a-fun-way self, you’ve been mopey, even a little aimless. So if I’m not stealing embryos or tormenting nurses,

[Scoffs] I’m adrift? Do you really feel like you’re running at 100%? I had one bad day. In a string of bad days. Well, they’re my days, and I don’t have that many of them left, okay?! So whether they’re bad or not, it’s nobody’s business but mine!

[ Scoffs ] Come on, britt. You’re a thoroughbred. Did you just compare me to a horse? Uh… horses are beautiful and noble creatures with long, narrow faces and killer cheekbones. Why aren’t you recording this, james wong howe, for historical records? First of all, thank you for referencing a cinematic genius of cantonese descent. Yeah, I thought you’d like that, but I still hate you. Second, my point is, you’re strong and resilient, one of the bravest people there is. So why are you bellyaching about the days you have left when you know you’re gonna outlive us all? The meds — could they have had something to do with your episode a few months back? Mm. Yeah, sometimes they yank my blood pressure around. But, uh, the doctors — they’re always tinkering with the dosage and — and the cocktail, you know? And they work? 100% of the time? Are you asking me if hear voices or hallucinations? No, no. I-I — I just want to know what to look for, okay? Because if it was serious enough to drive you away the first time, then it could drive you away again. And I don’t want to lose you a second time. Curtis. No, w-we could have helped you, you know? Family helps people t-that they love through — through — through — through illnesses just like this. Son — son, you and tommy were babies. And besides, your mama, she had enough on her hands. And was that her choice? No, it was mine… …alright, and irene’S. I’m not saying she agreed so much as she acquiesced. To tommy and me believing you were dead. Curtis, I was afraid, man. I was afraid of the man I might have become had I stayed.

Curtis, you wore a badge for how many years?

[ Sighs ] Enough. And in all that time on the street, you never crossed paths with — with one of those “lost” people? You mean homeless? Of course. No, not just unhoused… …unmoored. You know what I mean? Shambling down the street, words all — all — all garbled, carrying on to themselves, responding to something nobody else can hear. And alone… always alone. When I was diagnosed with schizophrenia, son, that was my immediate fear. That I would end up being one of the lost. But if you were at home, you could have been with your loved ones who could have kept you moored. No, mnh-mnh, I couldn’t take that chance. My delusions were of the paranoid type. I thought —

[ Chuckles ] Man, I thought the government was after me. But you said you never had a relapse. I got lucky. And at that time, there was no way to predict that. Okay, but there are hospitals out there. We still could have helped you. Curtis, I needed to protect my wife and my kids while I still was capable of making the choice. What if it all went wrong? What if the medicine didn’t even work? What if the medicine stopped working? Maybe you can’t imagine the hurt and the shame I could have brought down on you. But I have. And it’s haunted me every day of my life. I was in danger of becoming someone else — not the man your mama married, not the man I knew, not the father I wanted you and tommy to know or even be around. So I took their deal, and then took their meds…

[Voice breaking] …And I took off. I’m sorry.

[ Crying ] I’m sorry I hurt you…

[ Sniffles ] …And I hurt tommy. But at that time, I didn’t know what else to do. I wish that I’d met lila. But I do know enough about her to take that as a compliment. Yes! Score one for me.

[ Chuckles ] I don’t know if I’ll ever feel completely comfortable in that house, but I don’t remember the last time that I felt like a stranger. That’s how jason felt, although he didn’t use those words. What would jason say about you trying to buy into aurora? He’d tell me to stay out of it. So would you stay out of it if jason told you to? No. I ignored jason’s advice all the time…

[ Sighs ] …And he never held it against me. I mean, I’m sure at some point we were in the middle of a crisis of my making, and he said, “I told you so,” but I don’t know. I can’t remember. And you’re holding me to the same standard? No, I am not. Because you already schooled me on that. Mm! Jason was jason, and you are you. Although there are definitely some similarities, you are your own person. You advised me to stay out of it. I considered your advice. I’m just not gonna take it. I think I’m gonna make a lot of money on this merger. You are not doing this for the money. You are doing this to back michael and me. That’s right, because michael’s my son, and it’s the least I can do to settle up with you. And what debt do you think you’re repaying? Thanks, dex, for the update. Should I look into it? Try and figure out who’s making moves? Okay. Check with the other clients, see if anybody’s ready to make a switch.

[ Cellphone rings ] Go ahead, take — take — take that. Thanks, boss. Yeah. Still want to spar? Nah, I think somebody… has already taken a — a swing at me. Any idea who? Yep. My own son. Co-president.

[ Horse whinnies in distance ] Yeah, I’m not, uh, I’m not sure about the — the “co,” uh, ned.

[ Sighs ] Drew and i are looking at that for a — a shared ceo position. I’m not referring to myself. I mean the three of us. We share power. We divide responsibilities. Each will be overseeing a division according to our ability. The big decisions come down to a vote amongst the three of us. It’s equitable, it’s transparent, and it’s a sign of good faith that the three of us can move together in the future as a unit. What do you say? Dr. Obrecht: Brad, please leave us.

[ Sighs ] Feel better. Look at this place. This isn’t fit for schwein. Everything is exactly how I want it. I find that hard to believe. Why? Because I prefer to store my bra on the lampshade? Or I-I’m not ashamed of being single? And I don’t care if I die alone?!

Pardon my intrusion. If your life pleases you, who am I to argue? Mother, please stop. Okay? I’m sorry I jumped down your throat. Don’t apologize, britta. If anyone should apologize — please let me finish. I do appreciate your help. I do. And I know you mean well, even if good intentions are still a relatively new concept for you. And I gave society setups my best shot, and it didn’t pan out. And that’s okay, but I tried. And now I’m [Sighs] — I’m going to take a break from putting myself out there. Come. This isn’t about whether or not you meet someone, britta. It never was. If you don’t wish to share your life with another person, I’ll respect that.

[ Chuckles ] Perhaps my happiness with scott has turned me into a hopeless romantic. Or your version of one. I want the people I care about to be as happy as I am.

[ Sighs ] And since that number is rather small, I can devote more energy to each of you than the usual meddler. Okay. Well [Sighs] Maybe meddle with nina? And her recovering amnesiac mafiosi? I’m getting nowhere near that schlamassel. As for you, I only wanted you to feel the happiness I’ve but recently discovered. What I have with scott — okay, okay. Please, no details, please. I will simply say that a gruff, sturdy, ethically-flexible man who worships me…

[ Chuckles ] It’s — it’s a nice change of pace.

[ Breathes sharply ] I’m happy for you. Thank you. And I apologize for attempting to foist my idea of contentment onto you. But I do not apologize for butting in when I see my only living child flailing. And make no mistake, britta, you are. Was that enough detail for you?

[ Sighs ] For now. Good. Then I’m gonna take some rest.

[ Grunts ] Dad? I have one more question. Son, I’m tired. Just one? Uh, I’ll make it an easy one. Um, about your drug regimen. Mm. It’s been honed and refined over the years, right? It has. And in all those years, you really never had an episode or a relapse or whatever? I told you. Been lucky. Why? How come you didn’t come back years ago? Why now?

[ Chuckles ] What could you possibly think that you owe me? What was that little head nod? Was that — was that about the dna results, or was that because willow doesn’t know yet? It was the results. I heard from the lab. And? Nina’s not willow’s mother. Where to start? I mean, I messed up the whole victor cassadine plan. That was an honest mistake. And you’ve been there for me since my marriage crashed and burned. Well, yeah. That’s what friends do for each other. Nobody owes anybody anything. But you could have turned your back on me at any time. You could have, and — and come on, let’s be honest. Before you went to afghanistan, we had grown apart. We had? Stop. It’s not how I think of it. How can you not think of it like that? I mean, yeah, we hit a little bit of a rough spot when jason came back.

[ Scoffs ] I didn’t really know how or where we belonged in each other’s lives. It was tricky navigating through that. But I-I never once doubted us. And I knew that we’d find our way back to each other. To… …the friendship that we used to have. Or if we didn’t, we’d create a new one. And look at us now. We did it. This is a new angle — targeting my legit enterprises. Somebody’s throwing their weight around, interfering with my supply chain, messing with my client– you know what? That — I want — I-I-I’m gonna give michael some credit because he’s smart. He knows how to strategize. Has he ever come after you through your businesses before? No, but — but he thinks I abandoned my family. But michael only sees what he wants to see. Which is ironic, because when he got together with willow, she was married to chase. He only makes allowances for himself…

[Voice breaking] But not for his own dad. Problem? Nothing I can’t solve.

You can protes doesn’t care. But you should. You’re the reason “why now.” All these years, I kept my eyes on you from afar. I witnessed your struggles and your triumphs. Some made me proud — others broke my heart. But I never dared to interfere. Not until you finally gave me a sign. What sign? The savoy, man. Your club.

[ Breathes sharply ] When you opened up a place for music, it was like — it was like god itself was telling me you were ready. Or [Chuckling] Maybe it was telling me I was ready. In any event, I’m sorry I was late, son.

[ Sighs ] But I’m here now. And you’re staying? And I’m staying.

[ Chuckles ] Come here, girl. Get over —

[ Laughs ]

[ Laughs ] I’m not flailing, mother. I’m — you are. You just don’t see it. And you are certainly not living up to your potential. Look at yourself,

mein liebling. You are letting life pass you by. One could make a convincing case that you are wallowing. Because none of the candidates put up by society setups interest me? I don’t know what to tell you, mother.

[ Scoffs ] I’ve raised my standards.

[ Sighs ] I want a man who will not only save my life, but…who I can trust with my darkest secrets. So meone who can look mein the face and not flinch when I tell them I have huntington’s disease, and I am inevitably gonna die a horrible, debilitating death. Know any guys like that? Because the only one I’ve met is — is buried under seven tons of rock on cassadine island. You’ve had almost a year to make peace with jason’s death and your diagnosis. Since when is there a time limit on grief or facing my own mortality? You’re not the only person who must…

[Breathes deeply] Content yourself with whatever time you have left. You have friends and — and a cousin and a nephew and a mother who love you. And will miss you when you’re gone. I, for one, will be devastated. With the life I’ve led, do you think I ever expected to outlive my children? Nathan is gone. And every morning I wake up grateful for each moment I have left with you.

[ Voice breaking ] When will you ever, ever feel the same? I’ll take your offer to drew, and guess we’ll see what he says. You don’t seem very enthusiastic. Well, uh, to be honest, I don’t — I don’t think this is going to appeal to drew. An equal distribution of power between the three of us. I mean, it doesn’t account for the risk that drew is taking on the aurora side. Okay. Yes, drew takes some risk, you reap the benefits, and then the two of you turn me into your underling. Come on. Drew has never even worked for elq. Maybe not, but I did. Look, I was ceo for years while you were doing music and — and other stuff. And long before you found yourself in the executive suite, I was changing your diapers! Okay, let’s not get personal, ned. Ned! Look, if you lose sight of what’s at stake, we all lose. Well, it’s good to know that we’ve managed to push through, although I’m probably the only one who’s been doing the pushing because you feel like everything’s been fine the entire time.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, sorry about that. Next time, I’ll clue you in. From now on, no more secrets. Okay. How about this? How about I don’t stand in the way of your investment… but you got to keep me honest. You got to tell me if I start veering away from lila and start heading towards edward. You gotta tell me right away. Oh, don’t worry. I will.

[ Sighs ] Headed out? Yeah, I gotta stop the bleeding. How can I help? Just asking is plenty. Like, it’s a sensitive situation. I mean, if I can’t talk to michael, I can talk to dante. Or maybe the two of us together can get michael to the table. You know, see if the two of you can hammer out a peace? Brando, you’re a good guy. Stay that way. You don’t want to get involved in this.

[ Sighs ] Sonny, you said it yourself. Alright, this is legit business, which means there’s nothing I can’t know. And since it’s also family, I… I don’t want things to get so bad between you and michael that you can’t find your way back. I think we’re a little too late for that. Hey, so, uh, I just talked to ned. He came back at me with a counter.

[ Breathes deeply ] I was not very enthusiastic, and things got pretty tense, which is average for this family. But I was hoping that you could come up with something better. We’ll, uh — we’ll talk, alright? Bye. Can I help you? Hope so.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Days of Our Lives logo

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jan: Okay. This looks… interesting. Spinach?

Shawn: Yeah. It’s topped with feta cheese.

Jan: And this delicious looking concoction?

Shawn: It’s a smoothie made with avocado, oat milk, ginger, and kale.

Jan: Wow. Super healthy. It’s just I was craving one of those fat, greasy burgers from the pub.

Shawn: What, so–what, so instead of folic acid and vitamins, you want grease and salt?

Jan: I’m sorry. I know you’re just looking out for the health of our baby.

Shawn: And I’m looking out for your health too, jan.

Jan: Really? Wonder what belle would think about that.

Ej: Why don’t you stay for dinner? We can talk, share a bottle of wine. Relax. You look like you could really use it.

Belle: Can I have another glass of wine? Actually, you know what, will you just bring the whole bottle over?

Ej: Hello, lucas.

Lucas: Ej.

Ej: I heard you were back in town. How’s allie?

Lucas: You really care?

Ej: Actually, I do. No matter how I feel about you, I’ve always had affection for your children.

Lucas: All right.

Ej: For what it’s worth, I’m glad she is no longer possessed by the devil.

Lucas: Well, that’s mighty big of you. I’m glad johnny’s not possessed by the devil too.

Ej: Thank you.

Lucas: I guess that’s one more thing that allie and johnny have in common, isn’t it?

Ej: Hmm. You mean besides being in love with the same woman?

Allie: I heard that the devil quit my job. I was hoping you might take me back.

Chanel: You mean at the bakery. Right?

Allie: Not just at the bakery. Chanel, I want to get back together.

[Footsteps approach]

[Throat clears]

Johnny: Ha. As if I needed any more proof this twin intuition thing was real.

Allie: What does that mean?

Johnny: Well, sis, it looks like we’re both here for the exact same reason. We both want my wife back.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Allie: Ie: Uh, excuse me, but chanel is nobody’s wife.

Johnny: Yeah. Because the devil forced me to divorce her. Look, if I hadn’t been possessed, you and i would still be happily married.

Chanel: You may be right.

Johnny: I know I’m right. Which is why allie should bow out gracefully.

Lucas: I guess johnny confided in you about his renewed feelings for chanel.

Ej: Renewed? According to my son, he never stopped loving her.

Lucas: Well, too bad for your son. He dumped her, so chanel went to allie for comfort.

Ej: Do I need to point out that your daughter also broke chanel’s heart?

Lucas: Yeah, yeah. She was under supernatural influence at the time. Yeah.

Ej: Exactly. So as far as I’m concerned, the last half year is a wash. Which means the best thing for everyone would be for allie to step aside and give johnny and chanel a chance to rebuild their relationship.

Lucas: No way in hell that’s gonna happen. You’re delusional. My daughter is not gonna roll over for your son.

John: Hey, tink.

Belle: Dad, what are you doing here?

John: Well, I got your message that you wouldn’t be home for dinner. I just thought maybe you’d like a little company.

Belle: How did you find me?

John: Mmm. I have my ways.

Belle: Uh-huh. You talked to shawn?

John: He said that you–

[Sighs] You filed for a legal separation. You sure you want to take such a drastic step?

Belle: He and jan really left me no choice, dad.

Shawn: Listen to me, jan. You don’t need to concern yourself with my marriage. I need you to be focused on that baby. And that means eating healthy. So come on.

Jan: Is that your way of saying I’m not gonna get that cheeseburger?

Shawn: Just try it, all right? Come on. It’s good. Here. See?

Jan: Mmm. It is good!

Marlena: I hope I’m not interrupting. Moderate to severe eczema

Sarah: I forgot how much I missed this.

Xander: But you remember everything else, right?

Sarah: Mm-hmm. No, I do. I remember that…I forgave you for what happened with mickey and that we were happy and we were planning our wedding when kristen… when she stole my life.

Xander: If only I’d known sooner that she kidnapped you.

Sarah: Can’t imagine what you must have thought when i disappeared right before the wedding.

Xander: I was frantic. And then I found you in bed with rex brady.

Sarah: Yeah, but that… wasn’t me.

Xander: My whole life disappeared in that moment, thinking you’d chosen that dunderhead over me.

Sarah: I’m sorry that you went through that. I hate that you had your heart broken and that I was gone and you were all alone.

Xander: Yeah.

Sarah: What? What is it?

Xander: Sarah, I– I was heartbroken. But I wasn’t alone. Not the whole time.

Shawn: Marlena.

Marlena: Shawn. Jan.

Shawn: Uh, jan and i were just having a discussion about her diet.

Jan: He wants me to eat like I’m in training for the triathlon, and I want a big juicy burger.

Shawn: Okay. I just want her to at least try the food that I made.

Marlena: Well, I know jan’s on bedrest. But I think she’s completely capable of feeding herself.

Shawn: Duly noted.

Jan: Dr. Evans, are you here because you’ve made a decision about being my therapist?

Marlena: Yes, I am.

Jan: Great.

Marlena: I’m afraid I can’t help you, jan.

Ej: So you’re encouraging your daughter to help herself to her brother’s wife?

Lucas: I encourage my daughter to follow her heart.

Ej: I don’t know why I should be surprised. It’s not like you value the sanctity of marriage.

Lucas: What are you talking about–sami and me being together? Because when you guys were together, you were estranged.

Ej: Samantha was my wife! In fact, she still is.

Lucas: Well, johnny and chanel aren’t married anymore.

Ej: So let the best twin win? Is that it?

Lucas: I think we both know who that is, don’t we?

Ej: I’m onto you, lucas.

Lucas: You’re onto me? Really?

Ej: Mm-hmm. It’s only a matter of time before I prove to samantha and everyone else in this town that you kidnapped her. And when I do that, there won’t be a rock big enough under which you can hide from my wrath.

Allie: I don’t understand your reasoning, johnny–why should I be the one to bow out?

Johnny: I’m sorry. Did you miss the part where I said that chanel was my wife?

Allie: Yeah, “was,” as in past tense. And I don’t know if I need to remind you, but chanel and I had feelings for each other long before she even knew who you were.

Johnny: Not strong enough to keep you from being with tripp.

Allie: Hey, don’t talk about him, okay? This has nothing to do with him!

Chanel: Enough! Will you guys stop talking about me like I’m not standing here and my opinion doesn’t matter?

Johnny: You’re right. I’m sorry.

Allie: Me too. We’ll stop.

Chanel: Thank you.

Allie: So?

Chanel: So?

Johnny: Tell us.

Chanel: Tell you what?

Johnny: Which one of us do you want to be with? With depression, you just feel…blah.

Jan: There goes my last chance at being a good mother to this baby.

Shawn: Oh, jan, there are other therapists out there that can help you. I’m sure–I’m sure marlena can recommend someone.

Marlena: Yes, I can if jan is sincere about wanting the help.

Jan: Of course I’m sincere. Nothing is more important to me than this child and turning my life around so he or she can be proud of me. Why are you looking at me like that, dr. Evans, like I’m some kind of pariah?

Marlena: I’m sure you understand that I’m concerned that you’re pretending to want my help when, in fact, you’re just concocting a plan to hurt my daughter.

Jan: No! No, no. I swear that isn’t what’s happening here. I swear that I just want to be a good mom to my baby. I think you could really help.

Marlena: I’m sorry. My decision stands. Sorry.

Jan: Bull!

Marlena: Excuse me?

Shawn: Jan, what are you doing?

Jan: She isn’t sorry, shawn.. Marlena evans thinks I’m irredeemable.

Belle: There’s no way that I can live in that house every day and watch shawn take care of jan spears.

John: There’s got to be another solution here.

Belle: Well, none that I can think of, dad. Not as long as jan and that baby are in the picture.

John: So this, uh… separation– it’s a done deal?

Belle: I had ej file the paperwork.

John: Yeah. Yeah, I heard that you and elvis have been spending a lot of time together.

Lucas: You know, I hope johnny is more gracious in defeat than you are. I’d hate to see him turn into a bitter old shell like his old man.

Ej: He’s not going to lose.

Lucas: Well, think what you want. But chanel will choose allie over him. I know it.

Ej: I understand you’re standing up for your daughter. But there’s no way that chanel is going to pick a fragile woman-child over my red-blooded virile son.

Lucas: Fragile? Really? My daughter? My daughter has been through more in her young life than you and I could possibly fathom. She has tackled every challenge head on. And you know what, if you ask me, I’d say my daughter is twice as red-blooded and virile as johnny dimera will ever be.

Allie: The ball’s in your court, dupree.

Chanel: Oh, way to put a sister on the spot, horton.

Johnny: That’s not our intention.

Chanel: Oh, are you sure? Because that’s how it feels to me. And let me just say that the two of you “fighting” over me like some spoiled little kids and I’m some expensive-ass toy, it’s–it’s embarrassing, actually. I mean, are we not all grown up here? Are we not?

Allie: Most of us are.

Chanel: Look, I love you both, okay? And the three of us have been through some strange and pretty terrible times. So for you to ask me to choose between the two of you… I’m just not gonna do it.

Johnny: You’re gonna have to eventually.

Chanel: I don’t “have to” do anything, johnny dimera. And if you want to try to force me to make a choice, then I’ll tell you who I choose. I choose me, damn it!

Sarah: Okay. Well, I was gone out of your life for…a long time. And for most of that time, you believed that I had left you and, um, and I wasn’t coming back. I know you’re not a monk, xander, so if you dated other women–

Xander: There was only really…one woman. But we didn’t just date.

Sarah: What does that mean?

Xander: We were engaged to be married. We women are in the know about everything.

Sarah: You were engaged to someone while I was gone?

Xander: It’s like you said, sarah… I thought you didn’t want me anymore, that… I was at an all-time low when I met her.

Sarah: Who is she?

Xander: Gwen. Gwen rizczech.

Sarah: Jack’s daughter?

Xander: Yeah. That’s the one.

Sarah: Didn’t I, um, run into you two when I first came back to salem?

Xander: You remember that? That was when you still thought you were renee dumonde and you thought gwen was some other gwen from renee’s past.

Sarah: You were in love with her?

Xander: Sarah.

Sarah: No, no. You were engaged to another woman while I was languishing away on an island. That’s what you’re telling me?

Xander: Yes. That is what I’m telling you.

Allie: Hold on. “I choose me”? That is a line from that ’90s show you’re obsessed with.

Johnny: What show?

Allie: “Berly hills 90210.” She made me watch, like, 20 episodes with her last summer.

Chanel: Okay, so I quote the queen kelly taylor when I get stressed out. Sue me!

Johnny: The last thing I wanna do is stress you out.

Allie: Yeah. Look, it’s not what either one of us wants.

Chanel: Um, too late, twinsies.

Allie: Chanel, I know that this is hard.

Chanel: Hard is baking a croissant. But this is impossible. Being torn between two people is one thing, but between a man and a woman– but y’all are brother and sister. Twins!

Johnny: That–that shouldn’t haven’t any effect on your decision.

Allie: Yeah. Really, it shouldn’T. I mean, johnny and i both being possessed taught us– and I can’t believe that I’m saying this– but it taught us that our bond is unbreakable.

Johnny: Truth.

Allie: Okay, we might bicker and talk trash…

Johnny: And compete over everything from scrabble to mini-golf.

Allie: My brother is the one constant in my life.

Johnny: And she’s my ride or die.

Lucas: I wonder how sami would feel about you belittling allie like this.

Ej: I’m not in any way doing that. I’m just stating the obvious differences between our children. One twin has the blood of kings, conquerors, and captains of industry coursing through his veins. The other…

Lucas: I’d watch it. It’d watch what comes out of your mouth right now. Watch what you say.

Ej: The hortons are a perfectly lovely family full of doctors, donut makers, drunkards, grifters.

Lucas: You elitist jerk. You know what, I’d rather have horton blood coursing through my veins than dimera blood any day. And you know what, I know sami feels the same way. I’m sure of it.

Ej: And where is samantha anyway? Have you kidnapped her again?

Lucas: Not that it’s any of your business, but during our romantic ski getaway, she fell and broke her leg. She’s in the hospital.

Ej: Is she all right?

Lucas: She’s fine. She just can’t leave the italian alps. Doctors won’t let her.

Ej: Mm. Mm, no, of course not, no.

Lucas: What, do you think I’m making this up? You think I’m lying? I wouldn’t hurt her the way you do. I wouldn’t do that.

Ej: I was exonerated in samantha’s kidnapping. Someone framed me. But, of course, you know that, don’t you?

Lucas: Were you exonerated though? Really? Maybe the devil decided to dabble in a little corporate espionage, but that doesn’t make you innocent. No, no. I think satan… I think satan framed an already guilty man.

Belle: Yes, I have been spending some time with ej. He is my friend. And he is letting me use office space in his house.

John: So how do you think your sister would react to you getting close to her ex?

Belle: Yeah, well, she wasn’t too concerned about my feelings when she unleashed jan spears on my entire family.

John: Okay, so this is payback.

Belle: It’s unrelated. Besides, she’s with lucas now. She doesn’t have any claim on ej.

John: Oh, come on, sweetheart. You and I both know that samantha will always have a claim on ej.

Jan: I’ve read the intruder articles. They say your patients are dropping you left and right since the whole possession scandal got out.

Marlena: I would hardly call that a scandal.

Jan: I’m just saying. I thought you’d welcome new business.

Marlena: My loyal patients know that I was not responsible during that time.

Jan: Well, what about what happened to me and my actions while you were possessed?

Shawn: Jan, come on. We don’t need to do this.

Marlena: No, no, no. That’s all right. What did you want to say?

Jan: You woke me up from the coma to go after belle and shawn.

Marlena: You know I don’t remember that.

Jan: Right. The devil made you do it. Well, guess what, dr. Evans? You’re not the only one with demons.

Marlena: I suppose you mean that figuratively.

Jan: From the moment that paul mendez raped me, there has been a constant battle between good and evil in my head. That violation left me hopeless and angry. It robbed me of my faith in humanity. And it has affected every decision I’ve ever made since.

Marlena: I understand that. It still doesn’t give you the right or permission to hurt people.

Jan: I know. And I have to live with what I’ve done. I just want the same chance you gave to ben weston, the opportunity to prove that I can be a better person, not just for me but for this baby.

Shawn: Look, jan, you… you’ve done some really horrible things, especially to marlena’s daughter.

Jan: And I’m sorry about that. But doesn’t my innocent baby deserve the chance to have a mom who’s mentally healthy?

Marlena: Yes. It does. All right. I will see you in treatment.

It’s started. Somewhere between a cuddle

Sarah: Tell me how it happened.

Xander: How what happened?

Sarah: How you fell in love with gwen.

Xander: Why does that matter?

Sarah: I need to know, xander.

Xander: All right. When I lost you, I lost hope. I…I was a drunken mess. If I–if I wasn’t at rock bottom, then I was very close. And jack was the only person who took pity on me. He gave me a place to stay and… gwen was staying there too.

Sarah: Close quarters.

Xander: Yeah. And we couldn’t stand each other at first. She was so impulsive and stubborn and her own worst enemy. And I don’t know, eventually we just came to realize that we were kindred spirits, fellow…pariahs. And jack was the only person in the whole town that believed in either of us.

Sarah: So your feelings for her must have been strong.

Xander: I came to realize, in your absence– and sure that you wanted nothing more to do with me– that gwen was the person I was meant to be with.

Sarah: [Sniffles] Okay, so…you said you were engaged, then, um… what happened? Did one of you call it off or–

Xander: Actually, we made it all the way to the altar.

Sarah: So why didn’t you get married?

Xander: Because I found out what she did. To you.

Chanel: Look, I’m glad you guys are solid, but I still need time to figure out who and what I want for my life.

Allie: I understand.

Johnny: Take your time.

Chanel: All right, I–i should get back to the bakery. I need to close up, so–

Allie: Hey, um, speaking of sweet bits, could I at least get an answer on if I can have my job back?

Chanel: You can start back in the morning.

Allie: Yeah?

Chanel: It’s not sweet bits without you.

Allie: Okay.

Chanel: All right. See you in the morning. Good night, giovanni.

Johnny: Night, chanel. Well played.

Allie: What are you talking about?

Johnny: You’re back in the bakery, which means you’re spending all day with the woman that we’re both crazy about.

Allie: I’m back at the bakery because I love my job.

Johnny: You love chanel.

Allie: I thought we were not gonna let her get between us.

Johnny: And how do you suppose we do that?

Allie: Well, how about we start by heading over to the pub and splitting a plate of fries, all right, like we did when we were kids?

Johnny: Extra crispy?

Allie: Always.

Johnny: I could go for that.

Allie: Okay.

Jan: Thank you. Thank you, thank you, dr. Evans. You have no idea how much this means to me.

Shawn: Yes, thank you, marlena.

Marlena: Let me be very clear about something. This therapy is only on a trial basis. The moment I have any suspicion that you’re up to your old tricks or that you’re not taking it seriously, the sessions will end.

Jan: Understood. So should we get started?

Shawn: Jan, what are you doing?

Jan: Diving in. So how does this work? Do I just tell you about my childhood?

Marlena: I think we’ll start tomorrow.

Jan: Oh, okay. That works.

Marlena: Okay. I will see you then.

Jan: You won’t regret this.

Marlena: I really hope not.

Shawn: Here, I’ll walk you out. Thank you. Thank you for again for doing this. I know that this–that this wasn’t an easy decision for you.

Marlena: Will not be easy to tell belle that I’m doing it either.

Belle: Dad, for the last time, sami does not have anything to do with my connection to ej.

John: Mmm, I wouldn’t be so sure about that, kid. You see ej and sami are forever intertwined.

Belle: So you think that he’s not over her?

John: I think that ej has a huge ego. And your big sister throwing him over for lucas had to hurt like hell.

Belle: What are you saying?

John: Well, I’m saying that what better way to get back at samantha than for ej to start sniffing around her baby sister?

Lucas: It’s funny ’cause one of the guys who was holding sami said that you were the orchestrator of sami’s abduction.

Ej: That’s because you put him up to it.

Lucas: We’re gonna do that again, that old song and dance, really? It’s getting old.

Ej: You obviously paid him off, you bottom-feeding little weasel.

Lucas: I’ve about had enough of your mouth for one night.

Ej: Oh, yeah? What are you going to do about it, loser?

Lucas: Loser? What am i gonna–I’ll show you what I’m gonna do about it. With relapsing forms of ms,

Allie: Oh, my god! Dad! Ej!

Johnny: Hey, what the hell is going on?!

Allie: Hey, hey!

[Ej groans]

Ej: You’ll pay for that cheap shot!

Lucas: Any time, you arrogant bastard! Let him go, johnny! Let him go. Come on. Come on.

Allie: Dad, that’s enough!

Johnny: Stop it! Both of you!

Allie: All right–rain check on the fries?

Johnny: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on, dad. Let’s go.

Ej: This isn’t over!

Lucas: Good! You know where to find me any time, big guy! Any time!

Allie: Hey, have you lost your mind?

Belle: You know that’s offensive, right?

John: I’m not worried about offending ej.

Belle: I mean to me.

John: What did I say?

Belle: You just suggested that a man like ej couldn’t be interested in me unless he was trying to get back at his ex.

John: Oh, no, no, no. Come on, you know that’s not what I meant.

Belle: Then what did you mean?

Marlena: Well, it looks like I got here just in time.

Belle: Yeah. Just in time to tell your husband he’s being totally insensitive.

Marlena: What’s going on?

John: No, no. She’s upset because I just merely suggested that maybe ej’s trying to get close to her as a way to stick it to sami.

Marlena: Oh, I see.

Belle: Yeah, well, he didn’t just “suggest” it. He just proclaimed it as the gospel truth.

Marlena: Well, it seems to me that…

Belle: That would be offensive?

Marlena: Well, I was actually going to agree with you and say that it was pretty insensitive.

John: What do you say we change the subject here? How was your day, dear?

Marlena: Well, it’s been slightly stressful. But after consideration, I have come to the opinion that it is best for everyone, especially for shawn, if I go ahead and treat jan spears.

Sarah: So your fiancée at the time knew what kristen did to me?

Xander: Yes.

Sarah: And then she made sure that I got a double dose of the same drug?

Xander: She did. But then abigail exposed her at the wedding.

Sarah: That must have been quite a scene. And where’s gwen now?

Xander: She pled guilty and they sent her to statesville.

Sarah: Oh. You really know how to pick ’em.

Xander: I’m so sorry, sarah. If I’d known what she was up to… but the important thing is that you and I found our way back to each other, right? That’s what matters.

Sarah: Of course.

Xander: Hey. Why don’t we go see your mom? Maggie hasn’t heard the good news that we’re back together.

Sarah: Yeah. That would make her really happy.

Xander: So we’re okay?

Sarah: I’m still trying to… wrap my head around what you just told me that you were engaged to someone else while I was gone. But, um, yeah. Yeah, we’re okay. I should be grateful that you and gwen didn’t actually tie the knot, so….

Belle: You’re treating jan?

Marlena: Belle, before you get yourself all worked up–

Belle: How could you, mom? How could you treat the woman who amongst many other horrible offenses just pretended to be me and got knocked up by my husband?

John: Hey, keep it down.

Belle: Answer the question!

Marlena: All right. The reason that I’m treating jan is because I… I feel party responsible for what she did.

Belle: You did not wake her up from that coma.

John: Just try to see it from her perspective.

Belle: No! I’m so sick of being the reasonable one here when all you care about is sami. And now mom wants to take on jan spears as her new–new rehab-a-psycho pet project.

Marlena: That’s not fair.

Belle: Screw fair! What has fair ever gotten me?

John: Tink–

Belle: You what it’s gotten me? It’s gotten me my stalker living in my house. And now she’s pregnant by my husband. And now she’s gonna be all healed by my own mother. Well, here’s an idea. Why don’t you two just go all the way and adopt jan since you feel so responsible for her?

Marlena: Oh, belle, please–

Belle: You know what, actually, I think that’s a brilliant idea. She can be your new daughter. And then–then you’ll have your own new grandbaby. Oh, won’t that be so fun? I’m done!

John: No, no, no. You’re not going. No, give me your key. Give me–you’ve drank too much.

Belle: Fine. I’ll get a cab. Tell sami and jan I said hey.

Marlena: I don’t know what happened.

[Ice clattering]

Johnny: You barely said a word on the ride home.

Ej: What’s to say?

Johnny: Oh, I don’t know. Maybe you could explain why you and lucas were pummeling each other in front of grandpa’s restaurant?

Ej: It’s nothing for you to concern yourself over, son.

Johnny: So it was about mom.

Ej: As I just said, it’s not your concern. I want to hear how things went with you and your young lady.

Johnny: Me and chanel?

Ej: Of course. How soon before I have to put down the black card to pay for your second wedding?

From prom dresses We have to get going, so–

Chanel: Xander, hey!

Xander: Hey.

Chanel: And you must be sarah.

Sarah: I am. [Giggles]

Chanel: I see you managed to win her back without my help.

Xander: Yep. Actually, we have to get going, so–

Sarah: Do I–do I know you?

Xander: This is–sarah, this is–

Chanel: Chanel. Like the luxury brand. Chanel dupree.

Sarah: Oh, right. It’s nice to meet you.

Chanel: I’m xander’s ex-wife. Though don’t worry, it was very brief and pretty meaningless.

Sarah: Ex-wife?

Chanel: Oh, man. You didn’t tell her?

Sarah: No. He didn’T. He didn’t say a word.

Lucas: Ow.

Allie: Grandpa had this in the freezer.

Lucas: I don’t need ice.

Allie: Your hand’s gonna swell.

Lucas: Fine, I’ll take it. I’m sorry that you and johnny had to see that. I am.

Allie: Yeah, well, I’m just happy that we got here before the two of you killed each other. I mean, what was that about anyway?

Lucas: Your mother, of course.

Allie: What about her?

Lucas: Ej thinks that I’m the one who kidnapped your mother. I mean, can you believe that, the nerve of that guy?

Johnny: [Sighs] Uh, hold off on the wedding planning for now.

Ej: Why? Did chanel say she doesn’t want you back?

Johnny: Not exactly, but… she said she needs time to think.

Ej: What’s to think about? You were both in love before the devil got involved.

Johnny: Look, chanel asked allie and me to give her space, and that’s what I’m gonna do.

[Door opens]

Ej: Just be careful, son. Don’t lose out on the woman you want out of some misguided sense of loyalty.

[Laughter on tv]

Shawn: Oh! Ha ha. I see you liked it.

Jan: Not so much, honestly. But wanted to prove how serious I am about taking care of our baby’s body while working on my own body and my soul too.

Shawn: I appreciate that.

Jan: Shawn, I know this is gonna sound pollyanna, but I really think that my therapy with dr. Evans is gonna make me a better person.

Shawn: Well, if anybody can help you, it’s marlena. So I’m gonna take these and put them in the kitchen, and I’m gonna head to bed.

Jan: Okay.

Shawn: All right, let me know if you need anything else, okay?

Jan: I will. Shawn… thank you for everything.

Shawn: Good night, jan.

Jan: You hear that, little one? Your mommy and daddy are getting closer. Once marlena gives me a clean bill of health, well… who knows what can happen?

Marlena: We shouldn’t have let belle go like that. I’m gonna call her.

John: Oh, no, no. What’s the point? She is an inebriated grown woman who obviously is upset with both of us right now.

Marlena: Then I’m going to cancel jan’s sessions.

John: Doc, don’t do that. Please. Just trust your instincts. A sane, healthy jan is better for all of us. And as far as our daughter goes, she’s tough, she’s strong. She’s gonna get through this.

Marlena: I hope you’re right.

Johnny: Uh, I’m gonna head upstairs. I got a friend from ucla that sent me a script he wants me to read, so…

Ej: Good night, son.

Johnny: Good night, dad.

Ej: Mm-hmm.

Johnny: Belle.

Belle: Good night.

Ej: Are you all right?

Belle: Uh, no. I’m not.

Ej: What happened?

Belle: I just had a really big fight with my parents. Um…could I stay here tonight? In one of the guest rooms, I mean.

Ej: Of course you can. I’d love to have you.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Brooke: You were right. You were right all along. I never should have let deacon infiltrate our lives. I never should have let him into our home.

Ridge: Even though he’s hope’s dad?

Brooke: Hope can still have a relationship with him. But I won’T. My future’s with you. Together in our home. And I’m going to make sure that deacon and hope know that. I’m going to make it very clear.

Hope: So, are steffy and the kids getting settled?

Liam: Yeah. Safe and sound. Apparently, um, kelly’s been making lists on the plane of all the places she wants to see in europe. A lot of castles.

Hope: Well, then, it sounds like this trip will be a good distraction for them.

Lia being so far away.

Liam: Yeah, but I think I’ll manage considering I have something to distract myself.

Hope: Oh, then I am happy to oblige.

Liam: Oh.

[ Knock on door ]

Deacon: Oh, ah, hey.

Hope: Hi dad.

Liam: Hi.

Deacon: Ah, is your mom back yet? Is she here?

Hope: Ah, no, why?

Deacon: I’m worried about her, hope.

Quinn: This is baD.

Carter: Eric’s smart ring is sending you an alarm?

Quinn: Well, if his vitals change drastically, it sends me an alert. I mean, why did his– why did his blood pressure and heart rate go up so drastically? Look at this, carter. I think I need to go to him. I think eric may be in trouble.

Eric: Okay.

[ Donna panting ] Okay. I think, uh…

Donna: Ahh.

Eric: I think I’m actually speechless.

Donna: And you just made me wanna shout from the rooftops.

Eric: Okay, good. Good!

Donna: Don’t worry, I won’t, I won’T. I just… this little rendezvous is just– I can’t even speak. It’s just going to be our secret.

Eric: Okay, okay.

Donna: Ahhh. Oh my goodness, your heart is just racing.

Eric: Yes, well, that’s actually a very good thing, after what we’ve just been through together. I would be amazed if it wasn’T.

Carter: You said eric’s at the club.

Quinn: Yeah.

Carter: Okay, so he’s working out. His heart rate’s gonna go up.

Quinn: No, no, no. Not like this. This is an extreme spike.

Carter: If something was wrong, eric would call you.

Quinn: But what if he can’t? That’s why I gave him the ring in the first place, to make sure my husband is okay. I– if something is wrong, I need to be there for him. I would hate it if something happened to eric and he was all alone.

Donna: I just love how close we are. No self-consciousness, no reason to pretend.

Eric: No. We know each other too well for that.

Donna: Yet, you still find ways to surprise me.

[ Giggling ]

Eric: I’d love to keep trying. But I can’T. Donna, we can’t keep doing this. This… this affair has to end.

Brooke: You don’t have to worry about deacon anymore.

Ridge: Really? You gotta tell him he can’t be on the property.

Brooke: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: Can’t be around you.

Brooke: Right. I’m going to tell him.

Ridge: Hmm.

Brooke: And then after I do, you and I get to put all of this behind us, and go back to being the fun-loving, wonderful couple that we’ve always been. And, I can’t wait to show you just how much I’ve missed you.

Our craftsmen begin each day

Carter: What’s happening now?

Quinn: Nothing. His heart rate is going back down to normal.

Carter: That’s good. The ring’s not sending you any more alerts.

Quinn: But it was so high though. I mean, it has to be dangerous, right? I mean, maybe I should– maybe I should call his doctor. Or I can call bridget. I know that she would want to help her father.

Carter: You don’t even know if anything’s wrong. Wh– why don’t you call eric? Hearing his voice will make you feel better.

Quinn: Okay.

Eric: This isn’t fair. It’s not fair to quinn or to you.

Donna: Uh, ah, you don’t hear me complaining, eric.

Eric: Yeah.

[ Phone ringing ] It’s quinn.

[ Phone ringing ] Hi.

Quinn: Oh, eric. I’m so glad you answered.

Eric: Yeah, uh, is everything all right?

Quinn: Oh yeah, yeah, no, I’m– I’m– I’m doing great. Um, are you done with your match?

Eric: M– my match?

Quinn: Or your game? I– I’m sorry, I don’t know what they call it in pickle ball.

Eric: Oh, yeah, yeah. Just wrapping up.

Quinn: Uh, well, how was it? Uh, was it good? Did you– did you get your blood pumping?

Eric: I did.

Quinn: Good. That’s good. Uh, listen, I– I know you’re driven and you love a challenge, but just don’t overdo it, okay?

Eric: I’m just cooling down. It shouldn’t be long now. I’ll be home soon.

Deacon: I feel for brooke, I do. What sheila did to her, that was terrible. She was a victim. Why can’t forrester see that? Uh, look, now that he knows what sheila did, that should change everything.

Hope: Uh, mom was hoping that it would.

Liam: Hey, at least she knows the truth now.

Deacon: Brooke is so… she’s so amazing. You know? She’s passionate, she’s devoted. She’s got everything in the world going for her, and she feels like a failure because her husband won’t come back to her. She deserves a guy who actually appreciates her.

Liam: Huh, a guy like you?

Brooke: Just come home, ridge. I’m going to make you wonder why you stayed away so long.

Ridge: Mmm.

Brooke: You and I make up better than anybody.

Ridge: Oh, man, that’s absolutely true. And you know why? It’s because we’ve had so much practice.

Brooke: I’m just worried we’re not going to be able to try anymore because our life is going to be so perfect.

Ridge: Mmm.

Brooke: I just love you. And you are my husband. And I want a future with you. I’m not going to let anything stand in the way of that. We have some great memories, wonderful experiences together. I know that you remember some of those, right?

It’s still you and me here

making destiny appear

after all these years

the laughs and the tears

it’s still you and me here

making destiny appear

mmm

Ridge: I’m never going to forget who we were.

Brooke: Since we are going to be together, we’re going to have new experiences and new memories. Deacon cannot be a part of that. He’s not going to be a part of our lives whatsoever. I’m steve, I lost 138 pounds in nine months on golo

Quinn: You were right, carter. Eric is fine.

Carter: Good.

Quinn: These workouts are doing wonders for his tension.

Carter: I wish they were doing the same for you.

Quinn: I know I shouldn’t worry about him. I mean, eric is healthy and he’s– he’s fit. He actually has an extra spring in his step lately.

Carter: Well, I’m sure you can take all the credit for that. Eric’s a lucky man, getting to come home to you. Spending his nights holding you in his arms.

Quinn: I think you’ll understand if I don’t tell eric that you said that.

Carter: But you’re flattered I did.

Quinn: I need to be getting home.

Donna: The phone call from quinn really flustered you.

Eric: She sounded a little concerned.

Donna: Do you think she suspects, or…

Eric: No.

Donna: Good. And– and you know, if this is the end, she– she will never.

Eric: Yeah. Is it– is it the end?

Eric: Not of how much you mean to me, no. No to the end of how important you are to me. The gratitude I feel for you. Or the appreciation.

Donna: Mine for you too. Uh, I, um, I’ll always cherish these moments here. And you are always going to be dear to me. This was, um, an unexpected adventure. But I never want to hurt you.

[ Sighing ] You are my honey bear.

Ridge: There he is, our coo, deep in thought. Are you dreaming about profits?

Carter: Yeah, I was, uh, definitely dreaming.

[ Ridge sighing ] It seems like you’re lost in thought too. How’s steffy?

Ridge: She’s okay. She made the right choice for herself. And I’m trying to make the right choice for brooke and me.

Hope: Mom wants ridge.

Liam: And only ridge, apparently.

Deacon: Look, you don’t have to protect her from me. I mean, brooke’s happiness is all I care about. Yours too. Which technically means, I guess I care about yours.

Liam: Aw.

Deacon: Look, it’s abundantly clear to me that brooke is never going to be truly happy with ridge.

Brooke: Deacon, why are you still here?

[ Door closing ]

Quinn: Eric, you’re home!

Eric: Yes. I– I thought you would still be at the office.

Quinn: No, you said you were coming home so I wanted to see you.

Eric: Thank you.

Quinn: Ah. I, uh, I missed you today. Well, not just today, I– I’ve been missing you a lot lately.

[ Glasses clinking ] (Vo) single-serve fancy feast petites

Quinn: Mmm.

Eric: Mm-hmm.

Quinn: So, did you have a good time at the club?

Eric: Yes.

Quinn: You’ve been going there a lot lately.

Eric: I have, yes, I know.

Quinn: I’m just happy that you found something that excites you so much.

Eric: Well, it takes me away from you, though. I’m very aware of that.

Quinn: No, that’s okay. You’re just– you’re getting used to a new routine. I’m just, I’m so happy that you’ve committed to working out, taking care of yourself, getting your heart rate up and… I mean, pickle ball, that seems to be a pretty challenging sport. You know, all that running around, working off all of that tension. I can see a change in you too. You just seem more… I don’t know, relaxed when you come home. And I think that’s really important for a man who is as busy and driven as you are.

Eric: So’s this, though, quinn.

Quinn: Mmm.

Eric: Know this, my conversations with you, I cherish those. The way we’re able to talk about our– our creativity, and our, uh, artistic processes. I mean, that’s very exciting to me too. You’re this wonderful artist. It’s the first thing that drew me to you, you know. I appreciate very much that we can share that, you and I, the beauty and creativity.

Quinn: Yeah. And, martinis.

Eric: And martinis.

[ Quinn laughing ]

Quinn: I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately, too. You know, how we– how we inspire and encourage each other. And I think that’s important. Especially– especially in our marriage, you know. We’ve– we’ve had to overcome so many challenges. It’s kind of our foundation. It’s how we began and where we keep coming back to.

Eric: I don’t have that with anyone else. I never will. I admire you so much, quinn.

Quinn: Eric, my love, I admire you. And I am so thankful that you’ve given us and our marriage another chance. I am so grateful to be married to such a kind, decent, loving, loyal man.

Carter: I can see how much you miss her.

[ Ridge sighing ]

Eric: I do miss her. She wants me to come home and part of me wants to do that. She says that deacon is not going to be a problem for us anymore. He’s not going to be in our house. He’s not going to be in our lives. We’ll see.

Deacon: I’m sorry, brooke. I had to come back. I was telling liam and hope about everything that sheila had done to you. It makes me sick. Not just the fact that she targeted you, but the fact that ridge doesn’t seem to care.

Brooke: He does. He understands.

Deacon: How can you say that? Do you know that your mom went over there and ridge sent her away so he could be alone with taylor?

Brooke: Deacon, stop. It didn’t really happen like that.

Deacon: It’s– it’s not right.

Liam: Wait. Did ridge send you away?

Brooke: No, I, ah, I went away so that taylor and ridge could talk about steffy. And then when I came back, he was there alone. And I stayed with him for a while and… well, I– I think he might be coming back to me, might be coming home. I just get that feeling. But now that I come home and I see you here for the third time today, I know what I have to do, deacon. Something I should have done a long time ago.

Hope: Mom, what are you talking about?

Brooke: I am talking about deacon.

Deacon: About me?

Brooke: Mm-hmm. You’re a lightening rod to ridge. You always have been and you always will be. I don’t want you to be here on this property any more. You can spend as much time with hope as you can, but not here. Not in my home with ridge.

Deacon: Come on, you can’t mean that! Look, he tried this before and you told him no.

Brooke: No, this isn’t ridge. This is me. I’m saying this. This is my decision. So please, listen. I can’t have you here, deacon. I mean, yes, I want you to have a relationship with your father and you should. But I can’t have deacon coming and going whenever he pleases. This is wrong. It’s not going to work. So, please, just– just respect me. Respect my wishes. I want my husband back. I want ridge back home with me.

Days Update Wednesday, June 8, 2022

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Sonny has a nightmare about walking in on Will in bed with Leo.

At the DiMera Mansion, Abigail finishes a call and tells Chad that she’s working on the Sami kidnapping case and might have got a real lead that will bring her closer to finding out who is behind the kidnapping.

Marlena is at home, leaving a message for Belle to call her because they have to talk about this. Marlena hangs up as Kate arrives at her door. Kate asks if Marlena knew that Will was going back to Arizona today. Marlena says that seems rather sudden. Kate mentions that her and Roman are throwing Will a going away breakfast and invites Marlena and John to join them. Marlena says that John is working but she can make it. Kate asks if Marlena is alright as she doesn’t seem herself. Marlena admits she’s worried about Belle. Kate says she heard Belle and Shawn are having problems and asks if Belle is still staying here. Marlena says she was until last night, then she got upset with her and stormed out and hasn’t come home.

EJ has a dream about being in bed with Belle.

Roman finds Lucas at the Brady Pub and sees the ice pack on his hand, so he asks what happened to him. Lucas responds that it was EJ DiMera.

Belle goes to EJ’s room and wakes him up from his dream. Belle apologizes for waking him up but EJ says he should’ve been up an hour ago and asks how she slept. Belle says she slept fine but notes that she didn’t go home last night so she asks if Abigail might have some clothes for her to wear. EJ offers to lend her a robe so she can go down for breakfast and then have Harold go to get her things. Belle worries about being an imposition but EJ assures she could never be.

Sonny wakes up from his nightmare and tells Will about it. Will encourages that it was just a dream and would never happen. Sonny points out he never thought it would happen to himself again either. Will understands that Leo really did a number on him and it will take time to get over. Will points out that it didn’t change things between them. Sonny worries that Leo is not done getting revenge. Will brings up that Leo said himself that he had other fish to fry and he has a long list of people he blames for Craig leaving. Will points out that Leo published pictures of Chad and Sonny, so he wonders who he is going after next.

Leo is in the DiMera Wine Cellar and gets a call from Gwen. Leo says thanks to Gwen’s direction, he was able to make his way through the DiMera tunnels. Leo declares that best of all, Abigail is right upstairs.

Abigail tells Chad that she was going to track down the other kidnapper that got away and he just got arrested in Wisconsin on unrelated charges. Chad questions how she found that out. Abigail says she just realized that Salem police stopped looking for him after EJ was released so she reached out to a contact, who gave her arrest reports. Abigail questions Chad not congratulating her. Chad says it’s great that she found him but asks if it was worth it. Chad questions if Abigail really thinks this guy is going to tell a different story than the guy who testified that EJ was the one who hired him. Abigail guesses she will find out when she goes to Milwaukee today, but Chad tells her that she’s not going.

Marlena explains to Kate that when Belle heard she agreed to treat Jan, she got furious and took off. Kate asks if you can blame her since Jan is pregnant and Belle’s husband is the father of the baby. Kate brings up that Jan has tried to kill Belle for years and recently kidnapped her daughter. Marlena says she knows all that but no matter what, Jan does deserve good mental health care. Kate doesn’t think Marlena has to provide it and suggests recommending someone else. Marlena feels she is uniquely qualified to treat Jan and maybe she can end this reign of terror that she has against Belle. Kate wishes her luck but doesn’t think it will be easy. Marlena then gets a text from Belle, informing her that she is with EJ. Kate knows it’s not her business but wonders if something is going on between them.

Belle tells EJ that she just texted Marlena so she won’t worry and hopefully they won’t come try to rescue her. EJ hopes they will respect her wishes but Belle feels she’s been a constant disappointment to them. EJ praises her. Belle talks about all the mistakes made along the way which EJ questions. EJ says he knows Belle as an honest, caring, and smart person who he greatly admires and he feels she is too hard on herself. Belle responds that from her parents perspective, they haven’t approved of all of her decisions like how she handled Claire’s mental illness. EJ points out that Claire is doing very well now. Belle says she was in denial for a long time and thinks that caused a lot of pain, so she thinks Marlena still holds that against her. EJ calls that a very terrible, difficult situation. Belle worries that Marlena doesn’t think she is capable of making good decisions and that’s why she is here looking sloppy. EJ says she’s beautiful as always. Belle doesn’t want to look like this when she goes crawling back to her parents. EJ agrees to ask Abigail to lend her something, but first asks if she really wants to go back to her parents.

Roman asks Lucas about he and EJ getting in to it and guesses it was about Sami. Lucas complains that EJ still thinks he kidnapped her and he’s still pushing that big lie which is ludicrous since everybody knows he did it. Roman points out that the charges against EJ were dropped. Lucas says that’s because he’s a DiMera and they don’t ever pay for what they do. Lucas questions why EJ doesn’t let the matter drop since he got away with it. Roman responds that he’s not sure it was EJ as he still has a lot of unanswered questions about what actually happened.

Leo tells Gwen that he doesn’t know how long he’s going to be in the wine cellar as he’s still working out his plan, but when he’s through, Chad will know exactly how he felt when he lost the love of his life.

Abigail questions Chad telling her not to go. Chad apologizes for it coming out wrong and asks if they can talk about it because he’s worried about her. Chad says he just got her back from Kristen and now she wants to track down some guy who kidnaps women. Chad argues that the story is old news since EJ is out of jail and Sami is out of town, so nobody really cares and EJ wants to move on. Abigail asks if it ever occurred to him that Sami could still be in danger. Chad argues that Lucas rescued her and nothing has happened. Chad questions Abigail putting her life on the line. Abigail says it will be a supervised visitation at a police station. Abigail asks if Chad doesn’t want to clear EJ’s name. Abigail declares that she’s going to Milwaukee to find out the truth. Chad then stops Abigail and tells her that she doesn’t have to go anywhere to find out who really kidnapped Sami because he knows. Chad then reveals to Abigail that it was Lucas.

Will tells Sonny that they know Leo will go after Brady and Chloe but feels the more people he goes after, the more likely he is to get caught. Sonny doesn’t know since the drugs were out of his system by the time he took his blood test. Sonny hates how Leo keeps getting away with things and that’s why he went so crazy when he found out about Craig Wesley. Sonny couldn’t stand Leo doing what he did to him to someone else and just getting away with it. Will encourages that he didn’t get away with it because Sonny freed Craig. Sonny says he just has to free himself and get Leo out of his head. Will thinks he can help with that as they kiss.

Leo remains in the DiMera Wine Cellar and guesses he’ll have to get his own breakfast. Leo opens the door to leave but finds Chad and Abigail’s son Thomas standing there. Thomas asks who Leo is and what he’s doing in his house.

Kate asks Marlena if she thinks it’s telling that of all the people Belle knows in Salem, she went to EJ’s last night. Marlena points out that Belle and EJ work together. Kate mocks it being a business sleepover. Marlena insists that they are only friends. Kate remarks that EJ doesn’t have friends as predators seldom do. Marlena says that Belle is in no mood for advice from either of her parents. Kate comments that it would be easier if children just did what their parents said. Marlena can’t even imagine how Sami would react if she thought that EJ was going after her sister. Kate asks why Sami would care since she’s with Lucas now and they are very happy. Marlena feels it would still drive Sami over the edge if she thought that EJ was pursuing her sister, even though EJ kidnapped her and she was afraid for her life. Marlena will forever be grateful to Lucas for rescuing Sami from those kidnappers and for the friendship they have had all these years since they were teenagers. Kate suggests they get to the Pub so they exit together.

Belle tells EJ that she doesn’t want to go back to her parents, but she also doesn’t want to hurt them since they’ve been through a lot too. Belle thinks she just needs to take care of herself and preserve her sanity. EJ thinks that is the right way to go. Belle says she’ll just do what everyone else does in Salem when their life falls apart and get a room at the Salem Inn, joking that they have a very good rate for losers. EJ encourages that she’s a strong woman in an impossible position and she’s just regrouping. EJ sees her as dealing with an impossible situation with a great deal of dignity and character. EJ encourages that she’s a lot stronger than she thinks. Belle thanks him for seeing her that way. EJ says he always has. Belle remarks that he doesn’t need some random heartbroken woman showing up on his door step. EJ argues that she is his friend and he can’t change what has happened to her but he can offer her a guest bedroom, privacy, and as much time to think as she needs. Belle then agrees so EJ decides it’s settled and he will tell Harold to have her things brought here. Belle thanks him. EJ tells her to think nothing of it and if she ever questions the magnitude of what she’s dealing with, this is the first time that he thought this madhouse could be someone’s oasis of calm.

Lucas questions Roman having unanswered questions. Roman asks who framed EJ by placing those phony transactions on DiMera computers and why bother framing him if he was actually guilty since usually innocent people get framed. Lucas questions thinking EJ is innocent. Roman admits he’s not usually, but in this case, the cop part of him says it just doesn’t add up. Lucas brings up the guy who held Sami captive saying that EJ hired him, so that’s all the proof he needs. Lucas declares he’s going to make sure that EJ stays away from Sami for good. Roman agrees to help with that since he still believes EJ is a creep. Lucas wants to make sure he gets things right from the start with Sami this time. Lucas then asks Roman for his permission to marry Sami.

Abigail questions Chad telling her that it was Lucas who kidnapped Sami. Abigail argues that DiMeras kidnap people but not Hortons. Chad calls it the truth. Abigail asks how it can be and why Lucas would kidnap Sami. Chad explains that it was to keep her away from EJ. Abigail asks if he’s sure. Chad confirms that he caught Lucas planting fake financial reports on his computer to frame EJ. Chad says Lucas admitted to everything and then begged him to keep his mouth shut to let EJ take the fall. Abigail questions Chad just going along with it. Chad explains that he didn’t want Lucas to go to prison and EJ wasn’t exactly his favorite person at that time. Abigail points out that was months ago and questions Chad knowing all this time. Chad says so many times he wanted to tell her the truth as he knew EJ could go to prison for years for something he didn’t do. Chad adds that he was going to come clean about everything and testify at the trial but then he thought it was EJ kissing Abigail so he kept his mouth shut and watched as EJ was shipped off to prison. Chad says then he found out it wasn’t EJ, so he was going to come forward again but then Belle got the charges dropped and Kate convinced him that Lucas wasn’t a threat to Sami. Chad states that since EJ was released, telling the truth wouldn’t help anyone but it would screw up his relationship with EJ probably permanently. Abigail can’t believe this. Chad says he’s sorry as he knows he has no right to ask but he asks if she can keep this between them. EJ then walks in with Belle and questions keeping what between them.

Roman questions Lucas asking him for his daughter’s hand in marriage as if they’ve gone back a couple centuries and like Sami won’t do whatever she wants regardless of what he says. Lucas says it’s more about them than he and Sami. Lucas wondered if it was okay and if Roman thinks he’s good enough for his daughter, since his opinion matters to him. Lucas knows his history isn’t the best right now. Roman acknowledges that he screwed up a lot, but he’s also been a great dad to Will and Allie, and a really good friend to Sami. Roman loves Sami very much but Lucas is good for her. Roman thinks Lucas understands Sami in a way that nobody else does, so he gives him his blessing. Lucas thanks him. Roman orders him to just keep her safe and visit often. Lucas agrees to as Kate and Marlena arrive. Kate asks if they are interrupting something.

Sonny tells Will that he hates to leave but reminds him that Will’s family is expecting them at the Pub now. Will says that can wait but this can’t as he kisses him.

Leo questions what Thomas is doing in the wine cellar all by himself. Thomas responds that he and his sister are playing hide and seek. Leo guesses he’s been found now.

Chad asks what Belle is doing at the DiMera Mansion. EJ explains that he’s invited her to stay with them for awhile in the guest house. Chad calls that very hospitable of him. EJ responds that it’s the least he could do after she got him out of prison on the false kidnapping charges. EJ asks Chad what he was asking Abigail to keep between them. Chad calls it a private conversation but Abigail thinks they should tell him.

Roman tells Kate that she is not interrupting and they were just having guy talk. Roman tells Marlena that he’s glad she could make it. She thanks him for inviting her. Roman hoped she’d bring John and Belle along. Marlena responds that John’s at work while she and Belle aren’t getting along right now. Roman says he’s sorry to hear that. Marlena says she’s actually a bit worried that Belle and Shawn might not be able to get through all of this. Roman encourages that if Lucas and Sami could get through all that they have, then there’s hope for anybody. Kate steps aside with Lucas and says she knows he thinks he’s worked everything out with Sami. Lucas tells him not to start in on her. Kate says she’s starting in on him because she knows he thinks he will just walk off into the sunset with Sami, but if she finds out from anyone other than him that he kidnapped her, there’s no coming back from that. Lucas assures that he knows that. Kate encourages him to tell her himself that it was him. Lucas asks if she’s nuts since she would kill him and wouldn’t understand. Lucas argues that it doesn’t matter since Sami won’t find out because Kate and Chad won’t say anything and no one else knows. Kate hopes he’s right. Roman calls over to Kate and asks if she knows what is keeping Will.

Sonny and Will lay in bed. Sonny wishes Will didn’t have to go back to Arizona today. Will assures that he and Arianna will be back as soon as she’s done with school. Sonny says it was nice just to see him, even if it was because of Leo.

Leo remarks to himself that he could lock Thomas up down here for years and his parents wouldn’t notice for months or years, but he’s a good person so he couldn’t do that. Thomas questions Leo talking to himself and who he is anyway. Leo claims to be the tooth fairy. Thomas says he didn’t lose a tooth. Leo guesses he has the wrong house. Thomas argues that fairies are girls. Leo responds that he has a lot to learn, but says nobody is supposed to see the Tooth Fairy so he has to keep a big secret and not tell anybody about him. Leo asks if he can count on him or not.

Abigail announces to EJ and Belle that she and Chad have decided to try to have another baby. Abigail says Chad wanted to keep it between them but she wants to tell everybody as they will all find out anyway. EJ calls it wonderful and Belle says that’s baby news she can actually be happy about. Abigail brings up that Chad wasn’t able to be present with her other pregnancies from the very beginning so this will be different as these days they just share everything. EJ congratulates them and says he’s thrilled for them both as he hugs Chad.

EJ brings Belle to the guest house. Belle wonders how Harold got her stuff there so quickly. EJ calls him magical and figured she’d want to get unpacked so he asked Harold to bring up breakfast on a tray. Belle jokes that she could get used to this and calls it so different from how she grew up. EJ says sometimes he wishes he grew up like her in a normal home with two parents. Belle jokes about having a big sister who hated her. EJ points out that three months ago, he and Chad wanted to kill each other but now they are like brothers. Belle is glad to see they worked it out. EJ admits he was a real jerk when he came back to Salem. Belle jokes that Chad would be the first to agree. EJ says now that Chad has found some way to get over it, he’s going to make sure he doesn’t screw things up with him anymore…

Chad tells Abigail that he worried to her that she was going to tell EJ everything. Abigail says she just had to tell him something, otherwise he was going to think they were keeping secrets from him. Chad acknowledges that they were and apologizes for dragging her in to this. Abigail hates lying but thinks Chad is right as she doesn’t want to mess up his relationship with EJ or for Lucas to go to prison as Jennifer would be crushed. Chad says he should’ve known she would understand. Abigail assures that she’s on his side, she loves him, and they are a team as they kiss.

Leo warns Thomas that if he says anything, that means no more tooth fairy money for the rest of his life. Leo remarks that he comes from a family full of liars, creeps, and sneaks so he hopes he can keep his word. Thomas says he doesn’t want to lose his $50 for a tooth. Leo asks if he can count on him. Thomas says yes. Leo says he’ll be watching him which Thomas says sounds like Santa. Leo says if he wants the magic to continue, he will need to bring him breakfast. Thomas questions the tooth fairy eating people food as he then exits the cellar.

Will and Sonny arrive at the Brady Pub. Roman questions where they have been. Will says something came up. Marlena says as long as they are here now. Will apologizes for the hello and goodbye but says he’ll be back soon. Kate says she will hold him to that. Kate then gets a text and says she has to go. Lucas asks if everything is okay. Kate says she hopes so and exits. Roman wishes they had more time together. Will knows he blew in and out of town but promises to be back soon. Marlena mentions that Allie told her that she had a very helpful conversation with Will, so she thanks him for that. Will says he was just trying to be there for Allie like Marlena was for him when he was figuring things out. Will tells Marlena that he loves her as they hug. Sonny hates to cut the reunion short but they have to get going. Will repeats that he’ll be back soon and hugs Roman and Lucas. Will declares the whole family will be back together again. Roman suggests a big party which Lucas agrees with.

Kate meets Chad in the town square and asks what’s the important information that he needs to share with her. Chad thought she should know that he told Abigail that Lucas kidnapped Sami.

Abigail sees Thomas coming out of the tunnels and questions what he was doing down there. Thomas responds that he was playing hide and seek with Charlotte and she never found him. Abigail says that’s because he’s not supposed to go down there because it’s dangerous. Thomas asks why since no one was down there except… Abigail asks except who and if he saw somebody down there. Thomas responds that he promised not to tell. Abigail tells him it’s okay to tell her. Thomas then tells her it was the tooth fairy.

Leo has his breakfast in the wine cellar and says he has a big day ahead of him. Leo then looks over his list of enemies which includes Chad, Abigail, Brady, Chloe, and Sonny.

Belle goes to EJ’s room, where he is coming out of the shower in just a towel.

Chloe: What does he do?

Esther: Mm, he’s in marketing.

Chloe: Hmm, that’s vague. What’s his name?

Esther: Dwight. Oh, he looks quite handsome in his profile photo.

Chloe: Of course he does. Let me see. Okay, the guy in this photo is quite the looker, if that’s really him.

Esther: What do you mean?

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Chloe: Ooh, what now?

Esther: Oh, he wants to meet and he’s free right now.

Chloe: Oh, convenient.

Esther: He says he’s intrigued by my profile and he thinks we would have a lot to talk about. And he’d rather do it in person than on the app. Oh, my goodness.

Chloe: What are you doing?

Esther: My lipstick. Oh, my favorite — crimson glow by jabot. Uh.

Chloe: Okay, mom, mom, mom. Stop. You wanted my advice, I am giving it. You cannot meet this guy. He is a walking red flag.

Michael: How’s lunch?

Ashland: Well, actually, i was here for breakfast, and i somehow left my credit card here, so I dropped by to pick it up.

Michael: Oh. If only I had known, I would’ve gotten here earlier and claimed it for myself.

Ashland: Mm.

Michael: That would’ve been quite a shopping spree. Oh, the things I would’ve bought.

Ashland: If you’re hurting for money, I would suggest you talk to your employer.

Michael: Oh, I’m not short of cash. I just think it’s fun to imagine what I could purchase if I were a billionaire like Ashland Locke. I mean, could I go to South America and buy testimony from doctors? Or entire towns’ police departments?

Ashland: Are you accusing me of these things?

Michael: Maybe. Or maybe I just have a rich fantasy life. You know, I had a lot of time to imagine scenarios when I was stuck in a Peruvian jail for weeks.

Victoria: Why would I believe you?

Ashland: The trust is you shouldn’t. I lied to you. I betrayed your trust. And I will continue to try to make amends. I will. I’ll try to help people and i will make more contributions to charities like your brother’s. I know it’s not a lot, but…

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Shawn brings Jan a bowl of spinach and a vegetable smoothie at home but Jan says she was craving a greasy burger from the Pub. Jan acknowledges that Shawn is just looking out for the health of their baby. Shawn responds that he’s looking out for her health too. Jan questions what Belle would think about that.

Belle sits alone at the Bistro having a drink. She thinks back to EJ inviting her to stay for dinner. Belle then orders another bottle of wine.

Lucas runs in to EJ outside of the Brady Pub. EJ mentions hearing that he was back in town and asks how Allie is. Lucas questions if he really cares. EJ says he does because no matter how he feels about Lucas, he’s always had affection for his children. EJ states that he’s glad that Allie is no longer possessed by The Devil. Lucas says the same about Johnny and guesses that’s one more thing that Allie and Johnny have in common. EJ asks if he means besides being in love with the same woman.

Chanel walks through the town square and runs in to Allie. Allie brings up that the Devil quit her job, so she hoped Chanel would take her back at the Bakery, but not just at the Bakery. Allie tells Chanel that she wants to get back together, right as Johnny walks up. Johnny remarks that it looks like he and Allie are both there for the exact same reason; they both want his wife back. Allie argues that Chanel is nobody’s wife. Johnny complains that the Devil forced him to divorce her, otherwise they would still be married. Johnny declares that is why Allie should bow out gracefully.

Lucas guesses Johnny confided in EJ about his renewed feelings for Chanel. EJ argues that Johnny never stopped loving her. Lucas says that’s too bad because he dumped her, so she went to Allie for comfort. EJ asks if he needs to point out that Allie also broke Chanel’s heart. Lucas acknowledges that she was under supernatural influence at the time. EJ calls the last six months a wash. EJ thinks it would be best for everyone if Allie stepped aside to give Johnny and Chanel a chance to rebuild their relationship. Lucas declares that there is no way in Hell that’s going to happen. Lucas calls EJ delusional and says there’s no way that his daughter is going to roll over for EJ’s son.

Belle continues drinking wine as John arrives. Belle questions what he’s doing here. John mentions getting her message that she wouldn’t be home for dinner, so he thought she might like a little company. Belle asks how he found her and then guesses that he talked to Shawn. John confirms that Shawn said Belle filed for a legal separation. John asks if she is sure she wants to take such a drastic step. Belle feels Jan left her no choice.

Shawn tells Jan not to concern herself with his marriage and just focus on the baby which means eating healthy. Shawn encourages Jan and feeds her some of the spinach as Marlena walks in and says she hopes she’s not interrupting.

Xander and Sarah lay in bed together. Sarah talks about how much she missed this and assures Xander that she remembers everything together including them being happy as they planned their wedding when Kristen stole her life. Xander wishes he knew sooner that Kristen kidnapped her. Sarah can’t imagine what he thought when she disappeared right before the wedding. Xander says he was frantic and then found her in bed with Rex Brady. Sarah reminds him that wasn’t her. Xander says his whole life disappeared at that moment. Sarah is sorry he went through that and hates that he had his heartbroken. Sarah remarks that she was gone and Xander was all alone. Xander then reveals that he was heartbroken but he was not alone the whole time.

Shawn tells Marlena that he and Jan were just having a discussion about her diet as he just wants her to try the food that he made. Marlena knows Jan is on bed rest but she thinks she’s completely capable of feeding herself. Jan asks if Marlena is here because she made a decision about being her therapist. Marlena confirms that she is and declares that she’s afraid she can’t help her.

EJ questions Lucas encouraging his daughter to help herself to her brother’s wife. Lucas responds that he encouraged Allie to follow her heart. EJ remarks that he shouldn’t be surprised since Lucas doesn’t value the sanctity of marriage. Lucas brings up that EJ and Sami were estranged. EJ argues that Sami is still his wife. Lucas points out that Johnny and Chanel aren’t married anymore. EJ asks if it’s may the best twin win. Lucas thinks they both know who that is. EJ warns that he’s on to Lucas and it’s only a matter of time before he proves to Sami and everyone else in town that Lucas kidnapped her. EJ says when he does that, there won’t be a rock big enough for him to hide from his wrath.

Allie doesn’t understand why Johnny thinks she should bow out. Johnny reminds her that Chanel was his wife. Allie argues that was in the past and that she and Chanel had feelings for each other long before Chanel even knew who Johnny was. Johnny remarks that their feelings weren’t strong enough to keep Allie from being with Tripp. Allie tells Johnny not to talk about Tripp as this has nothing to do with him. Chanel shouts that’s enough and asks them to stop talking about her like she’s not there and her opinion doesn’t matter. Johnny agrees and apologizes. Allie says they will stop. Johnny then asks Chanel to tell them which one of them she wants to be with.

Jan guesses there goes her last chance at being a good mother to her baby. Shawn encourages that there are other therapists out there that can help so he’s sure Marlena could recommend someone. Marlena confirms that she can if Jan is sincere about wanting help. Jan insists that nothing is more important to her than her child and turning her life around so that the child can be proud of her. Jan questions Marlena looking at her like a pariah. Marlena responds that she is concerned that Jan is pretending to want her help while she’s concocting a plan to hurt Belle. Jan swears that is not what is happening here and she just wants to be a good mom to her baby. Jan thinks Marlena could really help. Marlena says she’s sorry but her decision stands. Jan calls that bull which Marlena questions. Shawn asks what Jan is doing. Jan responds that Marlena isn’t sorry and tells her to just admit that she thinks she’s irredeemable.

Belle tells John that there’s no way she can live in that house every day watching Shawn take care of Jan Spears. John feels there has to be another solution. Belle says not that she can think of as long as Jan and the baby are in the picture. John asks if the separation is a done deal. Belle says she had EJ file the paper work. John mentions hearing that her and EJ have been spending a lot of time together.

Lucas hopes Johnny is more gracious in defeat than EJ is because he’d hate to see him turn in to a bitter old shell like EJ. EJ responds that Johnny is not going to lose. Lucas insists that Chanel will choose Allie over him. EJ understands Lucas is standing up for his daughter but says there’s no way Chanel will pick a fragile woman-child over his red blooded virile son. Lucas argues that Allie has been through more in her life than they could fathom and tackled every challenge. Lucas thinks Allie is twice as red blooded and virile as Johnny will ever be.

Allie tells Chanel that the ball is in her court. Chanel complains about being put on the spot. Johnny says that’s not their intention. Chanel argues that them fighting over her like she’s an expensive toy is embarrassing. Chanel asks if they are not all grown up. Allie remarks that most of them are. Chanel states that she loves them both and they have been through strange, terrible times. Chanel declares that she’s not going to choose between the two of them. Johnny argues that she’s going to have to eventually. Chanel disagrees and says if she’s forced to make a choice, she chooses herself.

Sarah understands that she was gone out of Xander’s life for a long time and he believed that she had left him and wasn’t coming back. Xander tells her that there was only really one woman but they didn’t just date which Sarah questions. Xander then reveals that they were engaged to be married. Sarah questions him being engaged to someone while she was gone. Xander points out that he thought Sarah didn’t want him anymore and was at an all time low when he met her. Sarah asks who she is. Xander informs her that it was Gwen, who Sarah recognizes as Jack’s daughter. Sarah recalls running in to them when she first got back to town. Xander is surprised she remembers that since that was when Sarah thought she was Renee DuMonde and thought that Gwen as a different Gwen from Renee’s past. Sarah asks if Xander was in love with Gwen. Sarah again questions Xander being engaged to another woman while she was languishing away on an island.

Allie argues that Chanel saying she chooses herself is a line from her favorite TV show, Beverly Hills 90210, which Chanel made her watch 20 episodes of last summer. Chanel admits she quotes Kelly Taylor when she gets stressed out. Johnny says the last thing he wants to do is stress her out. Allie says that’s not what either of them want but Chanel says it’s too late. Allie knows this is hard. Chanel calls it impossible. Chanel says being torn between two people is one thing but this is between a man and a woman who are twins. Johnny feels that shouldn’t have any affect on her decision. Allie agrees and says that being possessed taught her and Johnny that their bond is unbreakable. They joke about competing over everything. Allie calls Johnny the one constant in her life while Johnny calls Allie his ride or die.

Lucas wonders how Sami would feel about EJ belittling Allie like this. EJ claims he’s not doing that and is only stating the obvious differences between their children. EJ remarks that one twin has the blood of kings, conquerors, and captains of industry coursing through his veins. Lucas warns EJ to watch what he says. EJ states that the Hortons are a perfectly lovely family full of doctors, donut makers, drunkards, and grifters. Lucas calls him an elitist jerk and says he’d rather have Horton blood in his veins than DiMera blood any day. Lucas adds that he knows Sami feels the same way. EJ asks where Sami is any way and if Lucas kidnapped her again. Lucas says it’s not his business, but during their romantic ski getaway, she fell and broke her leg so she’s in the hospital. EJ asks if she’s alright. Lucas says she’s fine but the doctors won’t let her leave the Italian alps. EJ says of course not. Lucas asks if EJ thinks he’s lying and making this up. Lucas remarks that he wouldn’t hurt Sami the way EJ did. EJ reminds Lucas that he was exonerated in Sami’s kidnapping because someone framed him. Lucas questions if he was really exonerated or if the Devil dabbled in corporate espionage but that doesn’t make him innocent. Lucas thinks the Devil framed an already guilty man.

Belle tells John that she has been spending time with EJ as he is her friend and he is letting her use office space in his house. John questions how she thinks Sami would react to Belle getting close to her ex. Belle points out that Sami wasn’t too concerned with her feelings when she unleashed Jan Spears on her entire family. John asks if this is payback. Belle calls this unrelated and points out that Sami is with Lucas now so she doesn’t have any claim on EJ. John argues that they both know Sami will always have a claim on EJ.

Jan mentions reading The Intruder articles that say Marlena’s patients are dropping her left and right since the whole possession, so she thought Marlena would welcome new business. Marlena argues that her loyal patients know she wasn’t responsible during that time. Jan asks what about what happened to her and her actions while Marlena was possessed. Shawn says they don’t need to do this but Marlena says it’s alright. Jan reminds Marlena that she woke her up from her coma to go after Belle and Shawn. Marlena says that she doesn’t remember that. Jan says that The Devil made her do it but she’s not the only one with demons. Jan states that from the moment that Paul Mendez raped her, there’s been a battle between good and evil in her head as that violation left her hopeless and angry. Jan adds that it robbed her of her faith in humanity and has affected every decision she’s ever made since. Marlena says she understands that but it still doesn’t give her the right or permission to hurt people. Jan knows she has to live with what she’s done but says she just wants the same chance that Marlena gave to Ben, the opportunity to prove she can be a better person. Shawn acknowledges that Jan has done really horrible things, especially to Belle. Jan says she’s sorry for that but asks if her innocent baby deserves the chance to have a mom who is mentally healthy. Marlena reluctantly admits that it does and then agrees to see Jan in treatment.

Sarah asks Xander to tell her how he fell in love with Gwen. Xander asks why that matters. Sarah says she needs to know. Xander tells her that when he lost her, he lost hope and was a drunken mess close to rock bottom. Xander says Jack was the only person who took pity on him and gave him a place to stay, where Gwen was staying too. Xander talks about how they couldn’t stand each other at first but eventually came to realize they were kindred spirits and fellow pariahs. Xander adds that Jack was the only person that believed in either of them. Sarah guesses his feelings for her must have been strong. Xander says he came to realize in Sarah’s absence and feeling sure that she wanted nothing to do with him, that Gwen was the person he was meant to be with. Sarah questions what happened to their engagement and if one of them called it off. Xander reveals that they made it all the way to the altar but didn’t get married because he found out what she did to Sarah.

Chanel is glad Johnny and Allie are solid but says she still needs time to figure out who and what she wants from her life. Allie says she understands. Johnny tells her to take her time. Chanel mentions needing to get back to the Bakery to close up. Allie asks Chanel if she can have her job back. Chanel confirms that she can start back in the morning as the Bakery is not Sweet Bits without her. Chanel tells Allie that she will see her in the morning and says goodnight to Johnny as she then walks away. Johnny remarks to Allie that it was well played since now she is back at the Bakery, spending all day with the woman that they are both crazy about. Allie argues that she loves her job and she thought they weren’t going to let Chanel get between them. Johnny asks how she supposes they do that. Allie suggests they go to the Pub and split a plate of fries like when they were kids. Johnny agrees to do that.

Jan excitedly thanks Marlena and tells her how much this means to them. Shawn thanks Marlena as well. Marlena clarifies that this therapy will be on a trial basis and the moment she has any suspicion that Jan is up to her old tricks or is not taking it seriously, the sessions will end. Jan says she understands and asks if they can get started. Jan then lays on the couch and says she’s diving in. Jan asks how this works and if she just tells Marlena about her childhood. Marlena thinks they will start tomorrow. Jan says that works. Marlena says she will see her then. Jan assures that she won’t regret this. Marlena hopes not. Shawn thanks Marlena again for doing this as he knows it wasn’t an easy decision for her. Marlena responds that it won’t be easy to tell Belle that she’s doing it either.

Belle tells John that Sami has nothing to do with her connection to EJ. John isn’t so sure about that since EJ and Sami are forever intertwined. Belle asks if John thinks EJ isn’t over Sami. John thinks EJ has a huge ego and that Sami throwing him over for Lucas had to hurt like hell. Belle asks what he’s saying. John asks what better way to get back at Sami than for EJ to start sniffing around her baby sister.

Lucas reminds EJ that one of the guys that held Sami said that EJ was the orchestrator of Sami’s abduction. EJ accuses Lucas of putting him up to it. Lucas says that’s getting old. EJ argues that he obviously paid him off. Lucas declares that he’s about had enough of his mouth for the night. EJ asks what he’s going to do about it and calls him a loser. Lucas says he’ll show him and then attacks EJ. Lucas and EJ fight until Johnny and Allie rush up to separate them. As Johnny holds EJ back, Lucas punches EJ in the face. EJ shouts that he will pay for that cheap shot. Lucas calls him an arrogant bastard and tells Johnny to let him go. Allie and Johnny decide to take a rain check on their fries as Johnny takes EJ away. EJ shouts that this isn’t over while Lucas yells that he knows where to find him anytime. Allie asks if Lucas has lost his mind.

Belle tells John that’s offensive to her that he suggested a man like EJ couldn’t be interested in her unless he was trying to get back at his ex. John says that’s not what he meant. Belle questions what he meant then but Marlena arrives and says it looks like she got there just in time. Belle remarks that Marlena is just in time to tell John he’s being insensitive. John clarifies that he just suggested to Belle that maybe EJ is trying to get close to her as a way to stick it to Sami. Belle complains that John didn’t just suggest it, he proclaimed it as the gospel truth. Marlena agrees with Belle that it is insensitive. John suggsts changing the subject and asks how Marlena’s day was. Marlena admits it’s been slightly stressful but announces she’s come to the opinion that it’s best for everyone, especially Shawn, if she goes ahead and treats Jan Spears.

Xander explains to Sarah that Gwen knew what Kristen did to her and made sure she got a double dose of the same drug and then Abigail exposed her at the wedding. Sarah guesses it was quite a scene and asks where Gwen is now. Xander informs her that she plead guilty and was sent to prison. Sarah jokes that he really knows how to pick them. Xander tells Sarah that he’s so sorry as he didn’t know what Gwen was up to, but all that matters is that they found their way back to each other. Sarah agrees and they kiss. Xander suggests going to see Maggie since she doesn’t know the good news that they are back together. Sarah agrees that would make Maggie really happy. Xander asks if they are okay. Sarah says she’s still trying to wrap her head around that he was engaged to someone while she was gone but assures they are okay. Sarah adds that she’s just grateful that he and Gwen didn’t actually tie the knot as they hug…

Belle questions Marlena treating Jan and asks how she could treat the woman who just pretended to be her and got knocked up by her husband. John tries to calm Belle but she demands an answer. Marlena explains that she’s treating Jan because she feels partly responsible for what Jan did. Belle argues that Marlena didn’t wake Jan up from the coma. John asks Belle to try it and see it from Marlena’s perspective but Belle says no and shouts that she’s sick of being the reasonable one when all he cares about is Sami and now Marlena wants to take on Jan Spears as her new rehab a psycho pet project. Marlena calls that not fair. Belle says screw fair and asks what fair has ever gotten her other than her stalker living in her house, now pregnant by her husband and now she’s going to be all healed by her own mother. Belle tells John and Marlena to just go and adopt Jan Spears since they feel so responsible for her. Belle says Jan can be their new daughter and then they will have their own new grand baby. Belle gets up to leave. John demands her keys. Belle angrily agrees to get a cab and tells them to say hi to Sami and Jan. Belle then storms out while Marlena is left wondering what happened.

EJ and Johnny return to the DiMera Mansion. Johnny notes that he barely said a word on the way home. EJ asks what there is to say. Johnny suggests he explain why he and Lucas were pummeling each other outside the Pub. EJ tells him it’s nothing to concern himself over. Johnny guesses it was about Sami. EJ repeats that it’s not his concern. EJ wants to hear how things went with Johnny and Chanel. EJ asks how soon he’ll be paying for their second wedding.

Xander and Sarah come out of the Salem Inn together and run in to Chanel. Chanel greets them and comments that she sees Xander won Sarah back without her help. Xander tries to say they have to go but Sarah stops and asks if she knows her. Chanel introduces herself and then reveals she is Xander’s ex-wife, but notes that it was very brief and meaningless. Sarah questions this, so Chanel realizes that Xander didn’t tell her. Sarah confirms that Xander didn’t say a word.

Allie brings Lucas an ice pack from the Pub. Lucas is sorry that she and Johnny had to see that. Allie is just glad they got there before they killed each other. Allie asks what it was about anyway. Lucas tells her it was about Sami of course. Allie asks what about her. Lucas explains that EJ thinks he kidnapped Sami and asks if she can believe the nerve of him.

Johnny tells EJ to hold off on the wedding planning for now. EJ asks if Chanel doesn’t want him back. Johnny says that she said she needed time to think. EJ questions what there is to think about since they were both in love before the Devil got involved. Johnny states that Chanel asked he and Allie to give her space, so that’s what he’s going to do. EJ warns him to be careful and not to miss out on the woman he loves out of some misguided sense of loyalty. Belle then walks in to the room.

Shawn sees that Jan finished her food. Jan admits she didn’t like it much but wanted to prove she’s serious about taking care of her baby and her own body and soul. Jan really thinks therapy with Marlena will make her a better person. Shawn says that if anyone can help her it’s Marlena. Shawn adds that he’s heading to bed and tells her to let him know if she needs anything else. Jan thanks him for everything. Shawn says goodnight and exits the room. Jan then tells her baby that she and Shawn are getting closer, so once Marlena gives her a clean bill of health, who knows what could happen.

Marlena tells John that they shouldn’t have let Belle go like that. Marlena wants to call her but John asks what the point is since she’s an inebriated grown woman, who is obviously upset with both of them right now. Marlena declares that she will cancel Jan’s sessions then. John asks her not to do that and to trust her instincts because a sane and healthy Jan is better for all of them. John adds that Belle is tough and strong so she will get through this. Marlena hopes he’s right.

Johnny decides to head upstairs to read a script from a friend. Johnny says goodnight to EJ and Belle as he then exits. EJ asks if Belle is alright. Belle responds that she’s not. EJ asks what happened. Belle says she just had a really big fight with her parents. Belle asks EJ if she can stay in one of the guest rooms tonight. EJ says of course as he’d love to have her

Recap written by Christine

Nikki and Nick hugged. They’d run into each other at Crimson Lights after she got back from her trip. He asked about Victoria. She was sorry to report that his sister still felt as conflicted as ever. He wondered what they could do to convince Victoria that Ashland was toxic. They got a table and lamented that Victoria was shutting them out when she needed them most. Nikki said Victoria was grown, and she’d been through some incredibly tough times. Nikki said Victoria could’ve shut down after JT, but she’d pulled herself together. Nick added that Billy came along, and then that fell apart. Nikki said Victoria opened her heart again, and Ashland entered. Nikki said Victoria liked to portray a tough persona, but she was lead by her emotions just like the rest of them. Nick stated that hatred was an emotion, and Victoria should hold onto it when it came to Ashland. Nikki understood that, but she pointed out that Nick had forgiven Phyllis and Sharon, and Nikki did the same with Victor. “Letting go of love is one of the most difficult things anyone can do,” she said. Nick asked what they were supposed to do – just hope Ashland didn’t hurt Victoria anymore? Nikki wasn’t sure what else they could do. She was concerned because she hadn’t heard from Victoria.

At Newman Media, Victor told Adam that the restraining order didn’t do the trick – Ashland was still in town. Adam asked which way Victoria’s heart was leaning. Victor didn’t think that was important right now. He said they needed to focus on getting rid of Ashland. Victor maintained that there was no reason for Locke to be here. Adam said Ashland had a reason – his love for Victoria.

Victoria woke up in Ashland’s bed at the hotel. He was already awake and dressed, and he had coffee for her. He asked her not to open her eyes – he’d been trying to figure out a way to prolong this night as long as possible, because he was worried that she’d change her mind about taking him back. She assured him that she still felt the same way. She appreciated him for agreeing to taking things slowly. He told her to take all the time she needed. She said she still loved him, but her family, especially her father, thought she was incapable of making up her own mind. She felt that her family would continue to judge her and try to control her unless she let them know in no uncertain terms that it ended now. “I choose you,” Victoria told Ashland. Victoria thought that if she told her family her decision, they’d try and drive her and Ashland apart. He said they wouldn’t let that happen. She was sick and tired of her family trying to control her. She felt suffocated. Nikki called, and Victoria declined it. She was sure Nikki was wondering if she was doing anything impetuous, or human or enjoyable. She wished he’d seen her family trying to convince her to stay at the ranch last night. He was sure they were worried she’d find her way back to him. She thought it was childish and ridiculous. She thought that it was inexcusable that her father used his power and influence to keep Ashland from his son.

When Victor called, Victoria declined his call too. She was sure he was just calling to make sure she was dutifully accepting what he’d done for her own good and for the good of the family. She didn’t want to hear it. “It’s all been lies,” she contended. She wanted to start over, away from Newman and away from all the people. She took his hands and they smiled. Victoria knew Ashland fell deeply in love with her and that it wasn’t part of his original plan. She knew he never expected it, just like she never expected to forgive him for lying to her. “The love that I have for you is undeniable and it is so strong,” Victoria said. She knew his quirks, flaws and even a few of his triggers. She loved all of him. He said acceptance of one thing, but wanting to run away with him was another.

Victoria wanted to run away with Ashland, away from the constraints and burden of her family. She knew he probably questioned her sincerity, since she lied to him about this before, to get him to take the payoff. She said she meant it this time. He said he wouldn’t make any grand sweeping promises – he’d let his actions and love speak for itself, but he wanted her to consider all the consequences. She conceded it wouldn’t be easy to leave the company she loved, but she thought it was worth it. He clarified that he was talking about her children – Billy wouldn’t be happy. She knew that Billy would never keep her away from the kids. He countered that Victor orchestrated a restraining order against him, and Kyle went along with it. He asked if she was sure Billy would be okay with Ashland spending time with his kids. She stroked his hair and told him not to worry about Billy. He asked what about her parents and Nick. She’d decided not to try and convince them of her choices anymore – either they’d accept it or they wouldn’t. He thought that was wise. She grinned and said of course it was wise – she was the smartest woman he knew. Ashland suggested that Victoria didn’t bring him up when she declared her independence from her family. He said that his name might trigger a reaction from her family that she was unprepared for.

Back at Newman Media, Victor agreed when Adam said there was nothing they could do to stop Ashland’s drive to be with Victoria. Adam had a strong suspicion that Victoria wanted Ashland to stay. Victor thought Adam was only saying this because he wanted Victoria’s job. Adam contended that Victor was refusing to see what was in front of his face – that Victoria loved Ashland. He thought Victor needed to prepare for Victoria to go back to Ashland. Victor maintained that Victoria was too smart and strong for that. Victor got a text from Victoria saying she wanted to meet, and she said to bring Adam. At Crimson Lights, Nikki and Nick got the text too, and Nikki was worried.

Victoria met everyone that she’d summoned to her office. She thanked them for coming. She said she knew they all had busy lives running around behind her back pulling strings to orchestrate things she’d never approve of. She said if she’d paid closer attention, she could’ve predicted Victor’s next move, since they thought a lot alike. “Not lately unfortunately,” Victor replied. Victoria was sure Michael was probably just salivating over Victor’s plan. She said Victor, who always preached about the importance of family, cut Ashland off from his son. She felt that Victor had gone too far.

Before Victoria left for vacation, she’d asked Victor to leave Ashland alone. She said Ashland had moved on and was focused on protecting his relationship with his son. Nick disagreed. He said they paid Ashland a fortune to leave, but he’d stuck around, planning God knows what. Victoria asked if Nick was okay with Ashland having his son ripped from him. Nick said Ashland practically begged Summer and Kyle to take Harrison to Milan so he wouldn’t see Ashland in the end stages of his non-existent cancer. Victoria said that Ashland loved that little boy. She contended that Victor didn’t just orchestrate the restraining order to remove Ashland’s reason for staying; he did it to hurt Ashland in the harshest and most painful way possible. An unapologetic Victor maintained that Ashland reaped what he’d sown and that the little boy was better off. Adam asked why Victoria even cared. Nikki echoed that Harrison should be protected. Victoria thought what they really meant was that she should needed protecting. Nick asked why Victoria was passionately defending Ashland like he was a victim. Victoria was tired of her family trying to control and manipulate her. She said she was leaving town to start over. Adam’s expression was one of barely-concealed delight, but everyone else looked upset.

Victor thought Victoria needed to come to her senses. “You’re not going anywhere!,” he snapped. Victoria guessed it was difficult for Victor to believe she wasn’t going to fall in line. She said she was going to live her life as she saw fit. Nikki wanted to take a step back and talk, but Victoria thought they just wanted her to follow directions. Well, she was sick and tired of playing by their rules, so they should find another puppet. Nick thought this was crazy. Victoria thought Nick, of all people, should understand her choosing freedom. Nick said she was choosing a man who used her and lied and tried to bleed the company dry. Nikki asked if Victoria was talking about leaving with Ashland. Victor asked if Ashland was coercing Victoria. Victoria stood up, using her cane for balance. Victoria said that they didn’t hear her, and even if they did hear her, they wouldn’t understand. For the first time ever, she didn’t care if they understood. “For the first time in my life, I am proclaiming my independence. I am reclaiming my life. That’s why I’m leaving,” Victoria said.

Jack, Summer and Kyle were in the Abbott living room. Kyle mentioned he saw Allie heading out for a run earlier. They all felt that Allie was settling into the household. Summer mentioned that Phyllis got on a plane to Savannah to visit Daniel. Jack hoped everything was okay. Summer had enlisted her brother Daniel’s help getting Phyllis out of town for awhile. Summer thought that Phyllis needed a diversion and that Kyle and Diane didn’t need Phyllis declaring war while they were in the fragile position of rebuilding their relationship. Kyle and Jack both appreciated Summer doing this. Diane showed up wanting to take everyone to breakfast, but Kyle said his son was down for his morning nap. Kyle ribbed Jack about getting Harrison all wound up last night. Diane said, as a fellow doting grandparent, she stood in solidarity with Jack. Jack took a rain check on breakfast because he had work. Kyle said he and Summer would go. Diane and Kyle headed out, while Summer claimed she was going to go tell the nanny they were leaving.

Summer actually wanted to check in on Jack. She saw the tension between him and her mom, and she knew there had been a fight. Though Summer didn’t know the details, Phyllis had ranted about Diane, so Summer had an idea what it was about. Summer thought Phyllis put Jack in an incredibly difficult decision. Jack said he was fine, and everything would work out the way it was supposed to. She left.

Allie came back after her run, and she talked with Jack about it. He used to run too before his knees couldn’t take it anymore. Allie shared that she used to run with her dad, until he had to give it up for the same reason. Jack was sorry his genetics messed up Allie and Keemo’s activity, though he was sure they must’ve found another way to spend time together. He advised Allie to do stretches to avoid that fate for her own knees. Allie said she had to find a backup exercise that was easier on the joints. He told her about a new Pilates place that was opening soon. She said she’d do it if someone from the family joined her. She wanted to get to know the family better. She mentioned that Ashley was going to show her around the Jabot lab this afternoon. Jack remembered the first time he took Keemo there. Allie wanted to hear more. Jack said Keemo had a very curious mind, he was especially interested in the Jabot fragrances, and it was clear early on that he had a natural ability in chemistry. Jack encouraged Ashley to hire Keemo as an assistant, and before long, Keemo quit his job at the family restaurant to work at the lab full time. Jack said Keemo had an infectious joy and enthusiasm about work. Jack was sure that Keemo would’ve said “That it wasn’t work at all,” Allie finished.

Allie told Jack about The Grinning Soul podcast. He’d never heard of it. She said there was a great episode about whether you should follow your bliss or have a game plan for your life. She wondered which end of the spectrum he fell on. He thought people should find happiness and fun after they developed a really good game plan. Allie agreed with Jack. She mentioned that Noah leaned in the opposite direction. Jack guessed Allie and Noah had a vibrant conversation about it. Allie had to go to the coffeehouse now, because that was where she was meeting Ashley. Jack insinuated that Allie was hoping to run into Noah, and she got flustered.

At Society, Diane learned that Phyllis was in Savannah. Summer said Phyllis was visiting Daniel and his family. Diane recalled that Phyllis had a granddaughter, Lucy. Summer said she didn’t know anyone who spoiled kids better than her mom. Diane was ready to go all out to spoil Harrison, since she had a lot of time to make up for. Kyle said Diane might soon have more time to spoil her grandson than they thought. Jabot might purchase Marchetti, and they’d move operations to Genoa City. Diane thought that was wonderful. Kyle said it was all Summer’s brilliant idea. Summer thought that Kyle put together an exciting presentation for the board. Diane was proud of Kyle, and she she was so happy that she might get to be part of his life. She said he was so young, and he’d accomplished so much.

Diane wanted to hear all about Marchetti. Summer rehashed the story about how she came up with the idea for Jabot to buy floundering company. Diane was happy to help ease the transition back to Genoa City for them. She wished she could go back and be there for Kyle’s sports and to pick him up from school. She knew that couldn’t happen, but she vowed to be there for him now. Ashland showed up. He just wanted to say he knew Kyle wasn’t the one behind the restraining order keeping him from Harrison.

Kyle had nothing to say to Ashland. Ashland wasn’t surprised Victor would do this, but he was appalled that Kyle would risk hurting Harrison to help Victor exact revenge. Kyle leapt from his seat and said it was appalling that a father would tell his son he had a terminal illness, then push that child overseas so he didn’t witness the so-called demise. Ashland was leaving town and he wanted to say goodbye to Harrison. Kyle said no. Ashland felt Kyle wanted to punish him more than he wanted to do what was best for Harrison. Kyle vowed to always put his son’s well being first. He said that he got the restraining order because Ashland was poison, not because of Victor’s animosity. Summer got up and told Kyle that they should go. He agreed, and they left.

Diane felt sorry for Ashland. She was sure plenty of people would want to file a restraining order against her to keep her away from Kyle. She felt lucky that Kyle was independent and strong and didn’t allow other people to tell him how to act or feel. Ashland said there was a power in taking that stance, and it could come as a shock to people who were used to getting their way. He was frustrating because he had no recourse. She said he didn’t seem like the type of man who was used to hearing no. he said he wasn’t used to being helpless, so it was ironic since he’d put himself in this position by pretending to be helpless against a disease. She said he did a terrible thing to the people he called family. She knew that he told a lie people claimed was unforgivable, but she noted that Victor had done the same thing multiple times over the years. She thought Victor was unfair. Ashland used to feel contempt for people who complained that things were unfair, since no one ever said life was fair. Now he understood that feeling after being cut out of Harrison’s life. Diane wished she could help, but she couldn’t risk her relationship with Kyle. Ashland understood. He couldn’t ask her to jeopardize her own situation. She hoped they could still be friends. He said that would’ve been nice, but he was leaving town soon. She thought that was a shame, since they barely got a chance to know each other. He thought they knew each other, since they confided in each other. He also felt they were kindred spirits. She said she’d buy him a drink if he ever returned and she was still here. She was getting a fresh start, and she hoped he’d get the same chance. That was why he was leaving town. He thought it was the best decision he ever made.

Summer, Jack and Kyle were back at the house after a successful presentation to the board. Summer and Kyle had done the pitch together, like they used to, and he said they still had their same rhythm. Jack said that once Summer and Kyle left the board room, the board of directors ran out of superlatives. That was why the board voted yes. Angelina Marchetti was fully on board with the sale, once Summer had shown her the books and the state of the company. Summer was excited to work together with Kyle as a team with their friends and their family. Jack wanted them to remember this transition would mean a lot of late nights and long days. Kyle said they wouldn’t have it any other way. Summer said if she could get Diane and Phyllis to peacefully exist, things would be perfect.

Jack didn’t think that would ever happen. Summer wished someone would tell her exactly what happened in this fight involving Phyllis. Jack didn’t think the details were important. He said they should focus on their many blessings right now. He was thrilled they were relocating and that Jabot was expanding.

Leo tells her to keep thinking it over but declares that he’s not letting this go, as he’s going to get back at every single person who broke up he and Craig, even if it takes him the rest of his life. Sonny then appears and questions what Leo is planning now. Leo accuses him of eavesdropping on his personal phone calls. Sonny complains about Leo drugging him and sending dummied up photos to tabloids. Leo remarks that the photos were real as he looked very happy and satisfied. Sonny argues that he was unconscious and asks if Leo carried him to bed or dragged him. Sonny says he knows they didn’t go all the way because he was unconscious. Leo responds that Will might believe him even if no one else does. Sonny argues that his lawyer is already in touch with the editor of the Intruder as he’s going to do whatever it takes to set the record straight. Leo wishes him luck and says their pictures are already the talk of the town with some people saying he might lose his job over it.

Allie tells Will that it was sweet of him to come check on her. Will says it’s not just that as he’s dealing with the fallout of Leo’s cookies which Allie questions. Will guesses she must be the only one in town who doesn’t read the Intruder and tells her to forget it then. Allie says he has to tell her now. Will says it was just another of Leo’s stupid stunts and they are handling it. Will says he came to talk about her and he wants to hear about what happened. Will asks if she’s sure she is okay. Allie responds that she is physically but mentally it’s a lot to deal with as she heard she did some really awful stuff like chaining Johnny and Ben in the DiMera Crypt, kidnapping Ciara, and going on the run with her baby. Will admits that’s pretty bad but says at least it wasn’t her. Will asks if she talked to Marlena since she went through it. Allie says it’s still hard not to feel responsible when people she really cares about are still hurting from what she did, like Chanel.

Tripp thanks Chanel for coming to see him again. Chanel mentions they didn’t really get to talk last time. Tripp jokes that it was like The Bachelorette with them and Allie until Johnny showed up. Chanel disagrees but recalls running in to Allie afterwards and she said that Tripp made it really clear they were not getting back together. Tripp confirms that. Chanel questions why since she knows he loves Allie. Chanel asks if he’s really ready to let her go.

Sonny tells Leo that Victor is still in charge of Titan and he’s backing him, so his job is not in danger. Leo couldn’t care less what happens to him now since he made a bundle off the pictures. Leo argues that he wouldn’t have had to do it if Sonny and his friends left he and Craig alone. Leo remarks that he’s on his own now because of him. Sonny questions justifying drugging him with laced cookies. Leo asks how Will liked their photos

Will and Allie go over how the Devil had Johnny divorce Chanel and then had Allie dump Chanel in the meanest way possible. Will didn’t even know Allie and Chanel were dating. Allie talks about doing a lot of thinking after their last talk and declares that her life made a lot more sense when she realized she was bisexual. Allie adds that she thought she always loved Chanel as a friend but now she realizes she just loves her, period. Will calls that great. Allie says it would be, if Johnny wasn’t also in love with Chanel.

Johnny informs EJ that Chad and Abigail have been at it for awhile. EJ supposes Chad is turning his attention to his personal life now that their takeover plan failed. Johnny complains about being in the room next to them. EJ points out that there are lots of other bedrooms in the mansion. Johnny assures he’ll move in to one. EJ asks if he’s working on writing anything in particular. Johnny states that now that his producer is dead, so is his movie about Marlena which is fine by him as he has a whole new perspective on devil possession. EJ asks if he has any new ideas. Johnny says he has one that hits pretty close to home about twins that are in love with the same girl.

Chad tells Abigail that if they are going to have another baby, he should probably start looking for a job. Abigail is sorry it didn’t work out as she can’t believe Kristen stabbed both her brothers in the back. Chad says nothing Kristen does surprises him anymore, especially after what she did to Abigail and Sarah. Abigail notes that they survived. Abigail adds that she’s really glad Chad and EJ are getting along again. Chad admits that he really didn’t like being on the outs with him. Abigail says it wasn’t Chad’s fault since EJ came back to town pushing everybody’s buttons. Chad comments that it wasn’t all one sided as he did some things he wasn’t proud of which Abigail questions.

Lucas and Kate sit together in the Brady Pub. Lucas tells Kate that Roman is babysitting Henry and they are video chatting with Sami right now. Kate asks if Sami said when she will be able to fly back home. Lucas says not yet. Lucas then tells Kate that now that they are alone, he wants his apology for Kate accusing him of kidnapping Sami.

Chad tells Abigail that he just means that he testified against EJ so he’s basically the one who sent him to prison. Abigail points out that he was under oath and didn’t have a choice but to tell the truth. Chad notes that he was wrong. Abigail says at that point, he thought he had proof that EJ was guilty and he was in his face all the time. Chad declares that the important thing is that they are on the same side now and EJ has been a completely different person since getting out of prison. Abigail wonders who kidnapped Sami, if not EJ. Chad guesses they will never know but Abigail says not necessarily. Chad asks what she means. Abigail declares that they’ve just found the Spectator’s next investigative report as she is going to find out who kidnapped Sami Brady.

Kate asks Lucas why she wouldn’t accuse him of kidnapping Sami since he did it before. Lucas says that he regrets that and he’s never going to do it again. Kate can’t believe he went to that extreme in the first place. Lucas admits it wasn’t his proudest moment and he thinks about it every day but a lot of good came of it since now Sami wants nothing to do with EJ and they have never been closer. Kate asks if Sami knows that EJ has been released from prison. Lucas confirms that she does. Kate asks if Sami knows EJ is innocent then. Lucas says not exactly and that it took some convincing but Sami still thinks EJ is guilty as hell.

EJ points out that Johnny and Chanel were married and in love. Johnny says he thought so. EJ thought Allie and Chanel were just friends. Johnny thinks they had begun to figure out they were more than friends before he was even in the picture. Johnny tells EJ that his stepdaughter is bisexual. EJ asks if Chanel is too. Johnny responds that if Chanel had to pick between them right now, he doesn’t know if she would pick Allie or him.

Tripp informs Chanel that he does still love Allie. Chanel asks why he told her that he doesn’t want to get back together then. Tripp explains that if he said he wanted to start over, Allie would say she did too, but he would never know if he’s the one that she really wants or if she just feels obligated. Chanel insists that Allie does love him. Tripp says maybe she does and maybe they’d be happy for awhile but in the end, he knows it wouldn’t work out. Tripp knows for sure that he wants to spend the rest of his life with Allie, but only if Allie knows that she wants it too. Tripp questions how Allie could know that when the love of her life is Chanel.

Allie talks to Will about how they all thought Johnny was just being a jerk and how he told Tripp that she slept with Chanel right after he proposed. Allie adds that when the Devil was done with Johnny, Johnny thought that everything could just go back to normal and he could go back to being happily in love while married to Chanel. Will calls it a huge mess. Will points out that Chanel is the only person in this that the Devil did not directly mess with, so he asks who Chanel wants to be with. Allie responds that she doesn’t know since Chanel kind of got bounced around, so she’s been giving her space. Allie doesn’t think Chanel knows how she feels. Will suggests telling her. Allie points out that the other option is letting her go.

Leo remarks that he hopes Will isn’t too upset. Sonny argues that Leo would love that. Leo brings up that Will has cheated on Sonny more than once. Sonny insists that Will knows he didn’t cheat on him and that the whole world is about to know because he reported him to the cops. Leo points out that he has no messages yet. Sonny says that’s just because he hasn’t gotten his blood test results back yet that will prove that Leo drugged him. Sonny then gets a call from Kayla and warns Leo to stay there because he will want to hear this. Sonny answers the call but doesn’t get the news he was hoping for and hangs up. Leo asks what Kayla had to say. Sonny questions what the hell Leo did to him. Sonny guesses Leo gave him drugs that can leave his system really quickly. Leo argues that Sonny has no proof. Leo calls Sonny a cheating slimeball and brings up Will and Arianna. Sonny grabs Leo and yells at him to keep his daughter’s name out of his filthy mouth. Leo remarks that he didn’t think it was so filthy last night. Sonny warns that if Leo wants to get rolled up in a rug again, he can keep saying garbage like that.

Kate tells Lucas that EJ is out of prison, so she questions how he managed to convince Sami that EJ was still her kidnapper. Lucas argues that EJ wasn’t found innocent, they just threw the case out, but the payments sent to the kidnapper and all the other evidence still points to EJ. Kate questions what evidence. Lucas brings up EJ having motive and means. Lucas points out that Sami doesn’t know and she never will. Kate brings up that Chad knows that Lucas planted the phony evidence and asks what if he decides to tell the truth. Lucas assures that Chad is never going to say anything. Lucas then asks if Chad would.

Abigail doesn’t know why she didn’t think of this before, but says if she could figure out who kidnapped Sami Brady, their circulation would double since everyone wants to know what happened. Abigail starts talking about getting on a true crime podcast. Chad asks if she should ask Jack and Jennifer first since they still own the newspaper. Abigail says they left her in charge because they trust her and it’s a great idea. Chad figures the cops probably exhausted all of their leads. Abigail declares that she will start looking for new sources tomorrow and maybe she’ll find something new. Abigail brings up that they never tracked down the second kidnapper which is a huge loose end. Chad argues that the kidnapping was 6 months ago so he’s sure the trail has gone cold by now. Abigail feels it’s worth a shot and asks what if it clears EJ’s name and gets Mr. Shin back on his side. Chad says that EJ is fine getting past all of this and suggests asking EJ if it’s okay to do a story. Abigail doesn’t get why Chad is so against this.

EJ asks Johnny if he’s spoken to Chanel. Johnny confirms that he did and even asked her to marry him again but she said she needed time. Johnny gets that Chanel is still dealing with the idea that he never stopped loving her and never broke up with her, but neither did Allie. Johnny adds that there’s also the problem of Paulina being in jail for killing TR. EJ agrees that she has quite a bit to deal with. Johnny says he told Chanel to take all the time she needs. EJ questions why he would do a thing like that.

Chanel tells Tripp that she’s sorry but Tripp says she doesn’t have a damn thing to be sorry about and jokes that it’s not her fault that she’s sort of irresistible. Chanel insists that she didn’t set out to steal Allie away from him. Tripp brings up their years of history as friends and now they are more, so he can’t compete with that and shouldn’t have to. Tripp says that’s why he shut down them getting back together. Chanel knows it couldn’t have been easy. Tripp says he’s learned that the Devil is good and knows what to say to make you do whatever he wants. Tripp adds that when he told the Devil to take him instead of Allie, he pointed out that he was always Allie’s second choice. Tripp has decides he’s okay with that because he loves her enough to want her to have a long and happy life, whether he’s part of it or not. Chanel asks if he really means that. Tripp assures that if Chanel and Allie want to be together, they won’t get any flack from him as he is in their corner. Chanel doesn’t know what to say or if Allie even wants to get back together. Tripp is pretty sure she does, so he says it’s up to Chanel to decide if that’s what she wants.

Leo warns Sonny that people are starting to stare so someone might take a photo and sell their lovers quarrel to The Intruder. Sonny warns that Leo is not going to get away with this but Leo feels he already has. Sonny threatens to end Leo if he comes near him or his family again. Leo tells him to save his breath as he’s going to focus his energy elsewhere. Sonny grabs him and asks what that means. Leo says he won’t confide in him but he’s not done with this town yet. Leo then walks away.

Will questions why Allie would give up on Chanel when she just told him that she loves her. Allie says she does love Chanel, but she also loves Johnny and doesn’t want to hurt him. Allie adds that she and Johnny have been on the outs for a long time and this whole situation made them realize they still really love each other. Will says that’s great but asks if that means she should sacrifice her own happiness just so Johnny can get what he wants. Allie argues that Johnny and Chanel were crazy about each other and probably still would be, then she and Chanel would never have been together. Will points out that they were and from what she tells him, it was real. Will tells her not to pretend it didn’t happen. Allie calls it all so confusing. Will relates to being confused when he slept with Gabi to prove to himself he was straight but all it did was convince him that he was gay and he got her pregnant. Allie points out that he got Arianna and they worked it out. Will notes that a lot of bad things happened, mostly to Gabi, because he was too afraid to go after what he wanted. Will feels bad for Johnny as it’s not his fault that his marriage blew up, but that doesn’t mean Allie just steps aside. Will thinks it would be best for everyone if Allie was just honest. Will believes Chanel deserves to know the facts before deciding what to do with her life.

Chanel admits to Tripp that she doesn’t know what she wants as she started wishing she never met Allie or Johnny as she thought they played her for a fool, but now finds out it was the Devil. Chanel brings up knowing now that Johnny never meant to hurt her and she’s so confused. Chanel calls it a huge mess as she was in love with both of them and now doesn’t know who she should be with. Chanel suggests maybe she should just walk away from the whole thing. Tripp suggests giving herself some time. Chanel says that’s what she told Johnny when he said he wanted to get remarried and pick up right where they left off. Chanel guesses Johnny won’t be pressuring her now.

EJ tells Johnny that if he truly loves Chanel, he can’t just sit back and wait and hope things go his way, he has to fight for her. Johnny argues that Chanel has been through Hell. EJ says that’s not his fault. Johnny feels he’s trying to think about what Chanel needs. EJ argues that while he’s thinking, Allie could be trying to fight to win her back and asks if that’s what he wants. Chanel questions why EJ is encouraging him to go after Chanel since when they got married, he said she was just after his money. EJ admits he may have judged her too harshly. Johnny questions what changed his mind. EJ brings up when they rescued Johnny and realizing how close they were to losing him. EJ admits he hasn’t been the best father and got a lot of things wrong as he was too focused on what he wanted for him, rather than listening to what Johnny wanted for himself. EJ declares that if Johnny wants Chanel, he has his full support. EJ adds that Chanel has conducted herself with dignity throughout this whole painful ordeal. Johnny thanks him for saying all of that but he still thinks he should back off for awhile. EJ states that he has many regrets in his life and one of the biggest ones right now is not fighting for Sami. Johnny is surprised to hear him say that. EJ acknowledges that he spent years pushing her away and now she’s with Lucas. EJ doesn’t want Johnny to live with the same regret. EJ declares that if Johnny truly loves Chanel, he should do whatever it takes to be with her or else he’ll end up like him. Johnny then agrees that maybe he should fight for her.

Chanel feels the last thing Tripp needs is her unloading her problems on him. Tripp reminds her that he did ask how she was doing. Chanel knows it hurt him to tell Allie that it’s over and it’s not what he wants but it’s because of her. Chanel asks if they are okay. Tripp promises they are good. Chanel is glad because being friends with him means a lot to her, noting that she hasn’t had someone like him in her life in a long time. Chanel adds that Tripp can lean on her if he needs to. Tripp feels the same and assures that they will always be friends.

Will tells Allie that he should go, but she should take her advice. Allie agrees to think about it. They joke about being stubborn. Allie brings up Lucas being in town and asks if he’s seen him. Will says he hasn’t and asks if Lucas is with Sami. Allie informs him that Sami broke her leg skiing so she can’t fly yet. Will can’t believe Lucas and Sami are back together when they used to fight like cats and dogs. Allie agrees that it’s crazy but hopes they learned to treat each other better with no more plotting and secrets. Will says they will see how long it lasts…

Lucas asks Kate if Chad is really thinking about ratting him out. Kate explains that Chad says he will keep Lucas’s name out of it and is planning to take the blame for the phony evidence, but she knows EJ is going to have a lot of questions. Lucas asks if Chad is willing to stir up trouble. Kate adds that Chad says EJ is a changed man since coming back from prison and they actually made peace, so she thinks for Chad, the guilt is really weighing on him. Lucas remarks that it’s just what he needs. Kate thinks she convinced Chad to keep his mouth shut. Lucas questions if she got through to him or not. Kate says she told Chad that EJ would be furious, that their reconciliation would be history, and that he would be admitting to planting phony evidence and perjury. Lucas points out that Chad could be looking at jail time too. Kate thinks Chad gets that it’s not worth it to clear his conscience. Lucas feels he’s in the clear then and has nothing to worry about. Kate thinks so for now but questions if he really thinks he will be able to keep a secret like this from a nosy woman like Sami.

Chad argues that he doesn’t think it’s safe for Abigail to be hunting down a kidnapper. Abigail says she’s not stupid and knows how to be careful. Chad worries and brings up what happened when Abigail started looking in to Sarah’s disappearance. Abigail says everything turned out alright then but Chad feels they just got lucky. Abigail states that for a story this big, she’s going to have to take some risks. Chad asks what if it turns out that she could be pregnant.

Sonny goes home to Will at the Kiriakis Mansion. Will can’t believe the drugs are already out of Sonny’s system. Sonny complains that the cookies are gone too so there’s no way to prove that Leo drugged him. Will says he’s so sorry and he hates Leo so much. Sonny says it took everything inside of him not to just deck the guy. Will asks if he thinks Leo will try something else. Sonny responds that he said something about focusing his energy elsewhere. Will wonders what that’s about. Sonny says he doesn’t know but he doesn’t like it.

Leo sneaks in to the DiMera Mansion through the tunnels. He walks around the living room and spots a photo of Chad and Abigail. Leo picks it up and declares that he has a big surprise for them.

Abigail argues that Chad is not fighting fair now. Chad says he’s just trying to protect her and the baby she might be carrying. Abigail says she’s probably not even pregnant. Chad says he’s ready to try more and won’t give up until he puts a baby inside her. Abigail thinks he’s just trying to change the subject as they kiss in bed.

Lucas tells Kate that he feels rotten about what he did to Sami but if she finds out, she would hate him forever and that’s why he has to live this lie for awhile. Kate worries that these secrets have a way of coming out. Lucas complains that she’s stressing him out and now he needs some air. Lucas gets up and walks out of the Pub, where he then runs in to EJ.

Victoria: Dad.

Victor: What?

Victoria: What have you done now?

Victor: What do you mean what have I done now? I just told you that our troubles with ashland will be over soon, you know. Why do you assume I did something?

Victoria: Because I know you.

Victor: Oh.

Victoria: So tell me, why did ashland pay you a visit?

Victor: The guy’s desperate. He’s all over the place. So he came by and then, you know, wanted to talk about things. That’s it.

Victoria: Well, I can’t imagine that he would seek you out unless he were provoked.

Nikki: Now, darling, you were just saying that you don’t want to talk about ashland anymore, so why don’t you put him right out of your mind?

Victor: I think that’s a wonderful idea. And I want to hear about your trip. I want to hear all about switzerland.

Nikki: Oh, it was fantastic.

Victor: Really?

Nikki: It’s so green this time of yeah. I know people think of the alps as being cold and snowy.

Victor: Yeah.

Nikki: But it was — it was just lush and vibrant. And the hotel — oh, my god, they took such great care of us.

Victor: Oh, yeah? Well, they better.

Nikki: This trip was exactly what we needed.

Victor: Good. Glad to hear that.

Nikki: Victoria. Is anything wrong?

[ Doorbell rings ]

Phyllis: Hello. Are — are you going to invite me in? I was hoping we could get past this.

Jack: This really isn’t a good time.

Phyllis: Okay, well, I think we should talk. I mean, we’ve come so far. And — and I think it would be foolish to let a stupid thing like this cause everything to fall apart. Hi, my name’s steve.

Victoria: Everything is fine. That was mark from accounting.

Nikki: This late?

Victoria: Yes, well, something’s come up with the third-quarter projections.

Nikki: Oh. Is it anything I can help with?

Victoria: No, not at all. I can handle it.

Victor: Sweetheart, why don’t you deal with it tomorrow? You had a long flight. You need some rest.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] You know, I am a bit tired.

Victor: Well, then I suggest you come home to the ranch with us. Stay the night.

Nikki: Well, that’s a fun idea.

Victor: Yeah.

Nikki: It would be like an extension of our vacation, and then you don’t have to go back to that empty house.

Victoria: Please, I think i can spend one night in my own home alone. But thank you. I appreciate the offer.

Victor: Well, will you at least come with us to society and have some dinner?

Victoria: Daddy, you’re the one that just told me that i need to rest, so I think I’m gonna do what you told me to do and go home. And I will talk to you both tomorrow.

Victor: Alright.

Nikki: Okay.

Victoria: Have a good night.

Victor: Night.

Nikki: You too.

[ Door closes ] Did you believe any of that?

Victor: Not a damn word.

Jack: You’re right. We should talk.

Phyllis: Okay. Well, we don’t have to stay here.

Jack: No, no, this is fine. No one’s here, and this shouldn’t take too long.

Phyllis: Okay. Okay, well, then I just want to start by saying something that doesn’t come easily to me. Uh…uh…um…I want to apologize to you. I’m sorry.

Jack: What exactly are you apologizing for?

Phyllis: I’ll tell you exactly what I’m apologizing for, okay? Um…not just what I said and did, but the aftermath with diane. All of that. I’m sorry. And, um…it — it… I want to take full responsibility.

Jack: Okay, that’s a step in the right direction.

Phyllis: Yeah, just it’s — it’s very difficult because…

[Sighs] Diane has a — has a permanent space in my head it seems. And I know it’s wrong and it’s just very difficult for me when she came back.

[ Sighs ] I felt threatened by diane.

Jack: That’s absurd.

Phyllis: That’s absurd, i know. It’s absurd and silly, but, um…

[ Sighs ] That hatred goes back a long way. The way I detest her is in my dna.

Jack: You let your issues with diane affect us.

Phyllis: Yes, I did, I did. I know, and that was wrong. It was wrong. And I want to apologize for that. It was immature and wrong. So I am sorry. I rea– I am sorry. And — and — and I realize i pushed you into something that you weren’t ready for, and I’m sorry for that.

[ Sighs ] You know, and when I saw diane, I-I-I just thought, “oh, god, she’s gonna go after jack, and — and I have to get jack before she gets her hooks into him,” and so I apologize. Listen, I-I have, uh…

[ Sighs ] …Done so well, and, um… and I’ve matured and I’m enlightened, and I just feel that — that everything that happened with diane, that just all my progress just went away.

Jack: Yes. And it happened so quickly, so easily. That’s what I can’t get past.

[ Sighs ]

Ashland: [ Sighs ] Yes, this is ashland locke. I’ll be coming downstairs to check out. I just wanted to make sure someone would, you know, actually be there. The service in this hotel has been spotty at best. What? No, I have not enjoyed my time here in genoa city. If you’ve been living with heart disease,

Phyllis: Hey, listen, um… don’t go to extremes like that. I admitted to you that my behavior is reprehensible. I said that. Okay? I apologized for it. But… come on, you can get past this.

Jack: Because I’ve gotten past it so many times in the past? That’s not exactly a selling point. It isn’t just that you went back to your old ways, it was the ease and fluidity with which you transformed from new phyllis into old phyllis in the blink of an eye.

Phyllis: Yes, I realize that I did that. I know. I have a pattern. I get it.

[ Sighs ] I apologized. I can change, I know that. I can change. So I will be a better person for you. And all — all of my lousy habits and lousy behavior, that’s in the past.

Jack: I don’t want you to change. You can show remorse. You’ve done that before. You can plead for another redo. How many times have we done that in the past? I can’t do this. I made it clear months ago, when there was a hint that we might be traveling down a romantic road, that I would almost rather die than be hurt. I meant that.

Phyllis: I mean, it was just one mistake.

Jack: No, it was so much more than that. We have been working for months, carefully, thoughtfully, lovingly, to rebuild trust. Trust in each other, trust in ourselves as a couple. You threw that out to get an edge on diane. You say you want to cha– you can’t change. And I can’t do this. I’m done.

Phyllis: After — after all of this, this is the end, really?

Jack: Yeah, this is the end. Goodbye.

Kyle: And then harrison said, “but that’s not a frog.”

Victor: Thank you. Did she say anything about locke while you were in switzerland?

Nikki: She didn’t talk about him at all. She kept to herself a lot.

Victor: You didn’t press her because you didn’t want to push her away, right?

Nikki: Exactly. When I asked her about him this morning, she shut down the conversation.

Victor: That’s not a good sign.

Nikki: She did tell me before we left on our trip that she still had feelings for him. And I don’t think that’s changed. If anything, I think she’s more conflicted.

Victor: How is it possible that that bastard, that fraud, has a hold on her still?

Ashland: I thought you were still in europe.

Victoria: Well, I — I just returned. I guess not even the best massage in switzerland could get me to relax or give me any peace in my mind. So it’s true.

Ashland: You thought I was bluffing about leaving?

[ Chuckles ] I’m not. I am getting the hell out of this god-forsaken town and never looking back. I’m sure you’re relieved.

Victoria: So you were planning on leaving town without saying goodbye face-to-face. That doesn’t really sound like you.

Ashland: [ Sighs ] Well, as I said, I thought you were out of the country, and no one seemed to know when you’d be back.

Victoria: But why the rush to leave now?

Ashland: I’m sure you’ve noticed — no one wants me here.

Victoria: Never bothered you before. Why now? What happened?

Ashland: I just can’t fight anymore. I’ve lost. The newmans win. With depression, you just feel…blah.

Nikki: So what happened when you saw ashland? I trust your plan is still in motion.

Victor: It is. I convinced kyle and summer to file a restraining order against that bastard. That way, he can no longer be near harrison, you know? Perhaps then he’ll realize there’s nothing else for him to do. He’ll leave town.

Nikki: Hopefully that will work. But I hate using that little boy as a pawn.

Victor: I’m not using him as a pawn at all. Just making sure that ashland locke stays away from him.

Nikki: Yeah, no kidding. Victoria’s not the only one who needs to be protected from ashland. I’m sure he had some choice words for you.

Victor: [ Sighs ] Just bluster now that he’s been exposed as a fraud. The thing that worries me, though, is that victoria may still have feelings for that bastard. That means we have to stop them from crossing paths.

Victoria: What exactly does that mean, “the newmans win”?

Ashland: Well, I don’t think it’s any secret that your family despises me. They want me to disappear from this town and your life.

Victoria: My family has been very out in the open about their hatred for you for quite a while. So what has happened this last week that’s driving you away? ‘Cause the least I heard, you were sticking around as long as harrison was here because you wanted to be close to him.

Ashland: You really don’t know, do you?

Victoria: No, ashland, i don’t know. That’s why I’m asking you.

Ashland: I’m relieved. I didn’t want to believe that you would play any part in something like this. It’s your father, he’s the one behind it.

Victoria: Behind what?

Ashland: [ Sighs ] I’ve been doing my best to stand up to your father and michael baldwin’S…threats and legal bullying. But thanks to them, I can no longer see my son. I… your father convinced summer and kyle to file a restraining order against me. I’m not allowed to be anywhere near him.

Victoria: I can’t — I can’t imagine that they would use a child in that way. Are you sure my father was behind this?

Ashland: [ Sighs ] I’m pretty positive, yeah.

Victoria: 100% positive?

Ashland: Oh, come on, victoria. This kind of maneuver, this has your father’s name written all over it. I have done nothing illegal in regards to my son. Certainly nothing that warrants a restraining order. And yet, a judge signed off on it immediately, with michael baldwin as the attorney. I have no doubt that your father orchestrated this as a final move to get me to leave town, and it worked. He did the impossible. He got me to walk away…from you.

Jack: Hello, everyone. I have a phone call I need to make, if you’ll please excuse me.

Phyllis: Well, you all sounded like you were having so much fun.

Kyle: Did he really go make a call?

Phyllis: I believe so.

Kyle: His phone’s right there.

Summer: Are you alright?

Phyllis: Yeah, I’m doing great. Uh, jack and I were going to go out for, you know, drinks and some dancing, but he had other obligations.

Diane: Is he okay? He looked upset.

Phyllis: He’s fine. Well, I have to go back to the hotel. See you later. If you have advanced non-small cell lung cancer,

Kyle: I’m going to go check in on my dad. He’s probably looking for this.

Diane: It’s nice the way he takes care of jack like that.

Summer: That’s kyle. But I wonder what happened here?

Diane: What do you mean?

Summer: It seems like there was more going on than a business call. Why did jack run off like that and then my mom moments after?

Diane: How should I know? Neither one of them confides in me.

Kyle: I couldn’t get much out of my dad, other than that he wanted to be alone.

Summer: [ Sighs ] Okay, since no one here’s sure what’s going on, I’m gonna go check on my mom.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Ashland: I assume you’re here because you want to be reassured that my text was legitimate. It was.

Victoria: I gathered that when I saw the suitcase.

Ashland: I’m grateful you’re here. I didn’t think I was gonna get a chance to say goodbye to you in person.

Victoria: Here I am.

Ashland: Okay. Um… I don’t expect you to believe a word that comes out of my mouth. But I need you to hear this. Victoria, you changed me. You have made me an infinitely better man.

[ Sighs ] And even though I’ve lost you, I will be forever grateful for our happier times together. Besides harrison, you have been the only bright spot in my entire life. My company has brought me money and power and success, but… it hasn’t brought me the happiness that I’ve experienced with you. And our love was real. I think we both know that.

Victoria: Why would I believe you?

Ashland: The trust is you shouldn’T. I lied to you. I betrayed your trust. And I will continue to try to make amends. I will. I’ll try to help people and i will make more contributions to charities like your brother’S. I know it’s not a lot, but…

[ Breathes shakily ] The truth is I would do anything for you. I would give up everything for you. I would walk through fire for you.

Victoria: You already have.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] Yes, that’s true, I have.

Victoria: [ Sniffles ]

Ashland: Don’t worry, I’ll be gone soon, and…you won’t have to cry over me ever again.

Victoria: I’m not crying… I’m not crying because I want you to leave. I’m crying because I — I want you to stay. (Asaad) when I was little,

Nikki: Oh, god. I hate to see the two of them together.

Victor: What?

Nikki: [ Sighs ] Can we please just ignore her tonight? I am not in the mood. I might have to slap her again.

Victor: You slapped her? Why didn’t you tell me?

Nikki: Oh, do you disapprove?

Victor: No, I wish I’d been there.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] I’ll tell you the whole sordid story in the car.

Victor: Alright. Mm. Hello, kyle.

Kyle: Victor.

Nikki: Hi, kyle. How are you?

Kyle: Nikki.

Diane: [ Sighs ] It’s okay. I’m used to it.

Kyle: Well, I didn’t expect them to be overjoyed seeing us together, but they could at least acknowledge you.

Diane: Oh, the last time i saw nikki, she acknowledged me right across the face.

Kyle: What?

Diane: Yeah, she slapped me. But I know there is no one within 100-mile radius who would say I didn’t deserve it.

Kyle: Are you kidding me?

Diane: She holds a grudge, with good reason. I have given up trying to change certain people’s minds about me. Phyllis, at the top of the list. That woman will try to find a way to blame me for anything.

Kyle: I’m sorry. I know staying in town must be hard. And there will probably be more battles on the horizon.

Diane: Do you not want me to stay?

Summer: You’re just pretending to work, aren’t you?

Phyllis: I’m going over invoices.

Summer: Couldn’t have waited until tomorrow?

Phyllis: I run a business, summer.

Summer: Mom, I know that something is going on between you and jack. You can tell me about it or not, but just know that I’m here if you want to talk.

Phyllis: Okay. That woman is pure, unadulterated evil.

Summer: Diane?

Phyllis: Diane. Yes, diane. That woman is poison. She kills everything she touches. You need to convince your husband that she will shatter his heart in a million different pieces. She needs to get out of here.

Summer: I can’t do that without knowing more facts.

Phyllis: No, you don’t need to know facts. I am your mother, and I am telling you. She needs to pack her bags and she needs to go back to la.

Summer: Then tell me what she’s done.

Phyllis: That woman will ruin lives forever. Do you understand?

Summer: [ Sighs ] Mom. Mom! Wh–

Traci: Good evening, jack.

Jack: Hey.

Traci: What’s wrong?

Jack: Well, just because I’m not whistling a happy tune when you walk in, you think something’s wrong? I’m sorry. No judgment?

Traci: From me? Never. You know that.

Jack: Yeah, I do know that.

Traci: Jack, I’m here. Talk to me.

Jack: It’s phyllis.

Traci: I assumed that much.

Jack: I thought I was being so careful. And we were on the verge of something wonderful. We’d been doing this long, slow, romantic dance for months now. It was all there — the attraction, the connection, the history, good and bad, guiding us. There was anticipation and thrill every time we got together, and…and it shaped my days. And just when it was almost perfect…she broke it. She ruined it all.

Traci: Oh, no, no, no, I’m sorry. I am so, so, truly sorry.

Jack: No, you know, it’s not like I haven’t been here before. I shouldn’t hold out hope that phyllis is gonna finally focus on us — just us. No, there’s — there’s this pull to wreak havoc, to embrace vengeance, to welcome chaos. It’s more important than we are. It’s just part of who she is. And how many times have i learned that?

Traci: So you’re saying it’s over? It’s really over?

Jack: Oh, yeah, it’s over before it even began. I knew I was taking a chance, but I-I… I’d given in to it. And now the part of me that feared the worst turns out to have been right. I cannot believe I am here again. Yeah, yeah, it’S… it’s over…for good.

Jack: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

Ashland: I wanted to believe that you still had these feelings for me, but I had given up hope. I didn’t think you could get past my lies.

Victoria: I don’t want to have these feelings for you. That’s why I went to europe. I wanted to push them aside. I didn’t want to act on this — this pull that I feel to you. And I — I can’t make any sense of these feelings whatsoever. I came here tonight to say goodbye to you once and for all. And you saying goodbye to me… something inside of me, i just — I can’t bear it.

Ashland: I know exactly what you’re feeling.

Victoria: I’ve had a lot of time to think about what you’ve done, good and bad, and I have taken stock of our entire relationship, and I couldn’t have misjudged that much. It can’t all be a lie.

Ashland: It wasn’T.

Victoria: The love that we had, our wedding vows, every intimate moment that we shared, every intimate touch… those had to be real.

Ashland: They were.

Victoria: I believe you. Against my better judgment, i do, I believe you, and, yes, you may have started this relationship with some ugly ulterior motive, but I think that our love has changed you. And as much as I have tried, i can’t erase this love that i have. It’s just too powerful.

[ Sighs ] And I am never, ever gonna run away from it again.

Ashland: [ Sighs ] Before treating your chronic migraine-

Kyle: It’s not that I don’t want you to stay, I just know it comes at a cost, and I wanted to recognize that.

Diane: Thank you, but I’m willing to do whatever it takes to be part of your life.

Kyle: We have a long way to go emotionally, but I feel like we’re on the right track.

Diane: I agree.

Kyle: As long as you don’t do something that makes me doubt your sincerity.

Diane: Kyle, that is not going to happen.

Summer: Hey.

Kyle: Hi.

Diane: Hi, summer.

Summer: Kyle, can I talk to you alone?

Diane: You know, it’s — it’s late, so I’m going to leave you to it. Uh, I’ll call you tomorrow? Good night.

Kyle: What went down with phyllis?

Summer: Um…I think that she’s headed for a breakdown or a blow-up or something. Because of diane.

Kyle: Really? Why?

Summer: I’m not sure. I don’t have any details. All I know is that my mom is a powder keg, your mom is the match, and we need to find a way to avoid an explosion.

Kyle: And you really think it’s that bad.

Summer: Yes. And please don’t defend diane to me again.

Kyle: No, I know phyllis’ hate for her runs deep and their mistrust and dislike for each other goes a long way back. It’s hard to let go of.

Summer: It is. But…I think I might have a way to diffuse my mom for a while.

Jack: You know what? I should be relieved. You know, with everything we’ve been through over the years, i knew the odds were against us. I… I guess I’m lucky that it never went any farther. I’ll tell you this — I will never be in that position again.

Traci: [ Scoffs ] Jack, come on. You don’t have to put on any kind of show for me. I know you, jack. You’re a romantic who loves with his whole heart. And I know how much it hurts when that love goes wrong. So tomorrow you can put your positive spin on everything, but for tonight, jack, it’s okay if you just want to feel bad. I’m here for you, whatever you need.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Phyllis: [ Gasps ] Daniel. Baby! How are you? Oh, I miss you. I miss you so much. Yeah, you should call your mother more often.

[ Sighs ]

Ashland: I want so much for this to be true…for us to have the reunion I’ve dreamed of.

Victoria: You know it’s not gonna be easy.

Ashland: No, it’s not.

[ Chuckles ] The whole town is against us. I’m not sure how it’s ever gonna work out.

[ Chuckles ]

Victoria: By doing things differently. I promise you, we’ll find a way.

Ashland: I’m sorry, i misunderstood.

Victoria: No, it’s okay. Just — just let me finish. By doing things differently, i mean I think we should take things slowly.

Ashland: Okay.

Victoria: I want to be sure that we’re doing things for the right reason this time.

Ashland: We love each other. I can’t think of a better reason.

Victoria: I just don’t want to make the same mistakes. I can’t do that again. I’m gonna need some time so that we can build the trust between us. I want to create a healthy relationship with you, one that’s stable. I think, truly, that’s the only way that we’re ever gonna be able to heal. Assuming, of course, that you’re willing to wait.

Ashland: I am. Take all the time you want. I want you to be confident in what we have. And you are definitely worth waiting for.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] I was hoping that you would say that. ‘Cause I don’t want to lose you ever again.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Carly: Hey. I heard you were up here.

Drew: Well, you’re in a better mood today.

Carly: I am. I am. You know, I feel like things are finally starting to come around. You know what I mean?

Drew: Not unlike being released from a dungeon after a couple years.

Well, it’s not quite that. Well, it’s your version. It’s been a rough couple years. It has. And now there are blue skies ahead for michael and willow. Nina is in the rearview. She finally, finally can’t do harm to this family anymore. Mm. It is such a relief to know that willow. Isn’t really nina’s daughter. I love him!

[ Chuckles ] I’m so glad that leo loves his new present.

[ Both chuckle ] Look, I know that getting horses and cars, stock options for your birthday might be normal to you, but for me…

[ Sighs ] …Let’s just say this bensonhurst girl knows how lucky we are. I’m the lucky one. I have you and leo. Aww. Look at that. It turns out that equestrian therapy is all it is cracked up to be. Now, I know it’s supposed to help kids on the autism spectrum develop emotional bonds and sensory skills like balance, but this looks more like a kid just getting a horse. Are you getting all misty on me?

[ Chuckles ] Would you believe me if I said no? No, not for a minute. Okay, let’s see. Oh, leo, why don’t we go up to the house and get the horse some food? Apples or carrots? Well, dealer’s choice.

[ Chuckles ] Come on. Alright, mister. I’m trusting you to look out for my son. And since he clearly already loves you, welcome to the family. I guess we’re going to have to give you a name. Valentin: I’ve always been partial to comet. Comes around once a decade, much like the offer I’m presenting you.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Dr. Ashford, you’re here. Tj: I am. I thought you requested the whole week off work. I did. I-I, um — I had a family situation, but it’s been handled. Is everything okay? I couldn’t even begin to tell you.

[ Sighs ] You’re home. Yeah. We’re home. You know, you really do look wonderful. Compared to what? Compared to yesterday. Honestly, you look more rested than you’ve looked in months. I think it’s the first good night of sleep I’ve had since… it’s been more than months. Anyway, thank you for helping me get settled in. Well, that’s what family does. As a matter of fact, kevin is going over some details with your doctor. Unfortunately, it’s going to take a few days for the sleeping pills to get out of your system. Yeah, I figured. Yeah, so don’t be alarmed if you can’t sleep, and, well, if you go through — withdrawals? It’ll only last for a few days. I know. It’s funny. And — and by funny, I mean irritating. I’ve been a nurse for how long, and I didn’t see this coming. If I had been my own patient, I might’ve been able to catch this a lot sooner, but when it’s you — you’re too close to it. Yeah. Well, I see it now. And if it’s a choice between a few sleepless nights and hurting the people I love…

I was on my way to work, and I was worried I was going to miss you.

[ Giggles ] Marshall, I’m so glad you’re okay. I heard you went through quite an ordeal. How are you feeling? I feel like I’ve had a lifetime’s fill of doctors these last few days. Maybe she wasn’t asking you as a doctor, but as the woman that loves your son. Oh, oh, my bad. Guess I’m still a bit on edge. I appreciate your concern, though. Good. Because you’re family now, so you’re going to have to get used to it.

[ Chuckles ] Now, I made up the spare bedroom for you. Make yourself at home. Well, come on. Let’s get you freshened up. You’ve been in those clothes for days.

[ Stella and marshall chuckle ] Oh, oh, son, son, I know I promised you answers. We’ll get to that soon enough. You get settled first. Come on. I’m so glad you found your father.

[ Sighs ] When tj told me about the robbery, I mean, even though it already happened, it was — it’s scary. But all of you are okay, and that’s all that matters.Yeah. And I hear that you saved the day.

[ Chuckles ] I don’t feel like much of a hero. Why not? Because if I wouldn’t have broken my father’s trust, I never would have put him in danger in the first place. How you feeling? A little better. Mm. Oh, um… I thought I’d find a florist on the way here, but, um — maybe get you something proper, but I only found a little convenience store. Thanks. Feel free to tell me that you hate them. No, I don’t hate them. I am a little confused. I asked you not to visit me. Yeah, no, I-I-I-I heard you. Okay, then… I just — I didn’t want you thinking I had abandoned you. I never want to hurt you. But you are hurting me. More than you realize. I heard leo got a new horse. Mind if I take a gander? Sure. It’s a good-looking animal. Indeed. When charlotte and i were living here, we very much enjoyed riding the area. Well, charlotte is always welcome. Well, unfortunately, my daughter’s still at boarding school. Through the summer? Apparently. She’s as independent as her father. Anyway, I wanted to offer you this. Whoa. Equestrian gear. Top-of-the-line, too. Some of charlotte’s helmets, her riding crops, and the like. Too small for her, but maybe leo will enjoy them. Well, that’s very thoughtful of you. But we both know that’s not why you stopped by. So what do you want? You know what I want. I want to work together at elq. Before michael and drew push you out. Hey, I didn’t know you guys were stopping by. Wiley has a swimming lesson at the athletic club. Yeah, I convinced willow that we could step away for a little relaxation. She’s graduating next week, so we’re not going to have much free time after that. Willow, can I tell you, I am so proud of you. I know you’ve been working so hard. That must be why I’m so exhausted. Hm. Hey, michael, can I steal you for a sec? Just some elq stuff. Oh, wait, does this mean you guys are reconsidering my offer to help? No. No, it doesn’T. Can you give me a minute? -Hey. -Hey. You know, I know it’s work and studying, but I think wiley’s custody hearing really took a lot out of you. That was so insane and so unnecessary. We said no. Nina should have respected that. Yeah. Honestly, carly, I have never been as angry with someone as I am with nina right now. Oh, my god, it’s true. Nina’s willow’s mother. What’s important is you get to choose who’s in wiley’s life. Nina doesn’T. Don’t let her live in your mind rent-free. Easier said than done. But there is one good thing to come out of this. Dealing with nina helped me come to a big decision. About what? Finding the identity of my biological mother.

My father was in that hospital, lying unconscious, because that street trash slashed him with a knife. Portia, I thought i was going to lose my father all over again. But you didn’t, curtis. I’ve had a lot of time to think, and I’ve gone over the last few months in my head. Here’s a man who was just trying to make things right with — with me, his son. And I was so angry that I just pushed him away. I led him to believe that I was letting him in, only to go digging through his closet for whatever skeletons I might find. Marshall left port charles because he felt like there was no place for him, that he and i would never have a relationship, and that I would never trust him. But, curtis, did marshall give you reasons to trust him? Trust is earned. You got to be there, be present. For whatever reason, marshall was not there for you. And you asked for an explanation, and he didn’t give you one. So you have every right to be frustrated. This coming from the woman who made the guest bedroom for him. He is still your father, and you’re still his son. And I care about the both of you. And as far as you blaming yourself, you didn’t send him packing, you didn’t put him in harm’s way, nothing. Yeah, but I still couldn’t leave well enough alone, even though he asked me to.

[ Sighs ] Look, I know that you think what marshall did was selfish. Just as I know that marshall had his reasons, his regrets. But, listen, I truly believe that, once you air it all out, the truth, like most truths, lies somewhere in between.

[ Sighs ] Yeah. You’re probably right. There is a lot going on with my family right now. A lot. I could use a distraction, which is why I would be happy to go in on the rotation if the hospital needs an extra set of hands. Always. But we need steady ones. And if you’re going through something heavy, you could become a liability to the patients. They have to come first. I can’t argue with that. That being said, there might be a surgery or two you could observe, if you don’t mind staying hands-off and just learning. Yes. Yeah, that — that — that sounds awesome. Okay. Thank you. Scrub in. Okay.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ] You have to forgive me. I just… I just wanted to see you. I’m scared, finn. I’m scared that I’m going to hurt someone the way I hurt chase. And what if next time it’s one of my boys or violet? Everyone knows that you would never intentionally hurt anyone. It was a side effect of those pills, and you’re not taking them anymore. Yes.

[ Sighs ] The doctors are calling it dissociative fugue. I heard of it. In my case, it was caused by the sleeping pills. That’s how it happened biologically. Psychologically, why I did what I did… we still haven’t figured that out yet. It’s okay. You only just got here. There’s time. Something is broken in me, and I need to fix it. Of course. If there’s anything I can do to help, I’ll do it. I think I convinced myself that I was ready to move on when I really wasn’T. If I rushed you in any way, I didn’t mean it. No, no. No, no. [ Chuckles ] Not at all. And that’s — that’s not our problem. So what is our problem? When I’m with you, you make me feel like everything is okay, like it’s all going to be alright. But if you keep coming around, I’m going to start to believe it. And then I will never face what’s really wrong. What was it about the custody hearing with nina that influenced your decision? In that courtroom, I saw firsthand that biology does not make a family. Nina, the blood relative, prioritized her own needs over my son’S. She did. Harmony told alexis that my birth mother disappeared from a commune and left me behind. You believe that? I think it’s likely. My parents spent a lot of time in various communes before dawn of day. They met some very damaged people. The chances are good that my birth mother wasn’t concerned about what was right for her child any more than nina was concerned about what’s right for wiley. I got to tell you, things were still pretty tense between me and ned this morning. I mean, I don’t think we’re any closer to getting him on board with the aurora/elq merger. Well, I’m not surprised. I mean, it’s a matter of pride. Valentine led a hostile takeover under ned’s watch, so as much as I don’t want to ignore ned’s concerns, I just… now’s not the time to back off. I don’t disagree with you, but he insists he doesn’t want the coo role. But he’s not suggesting another job that he would be okay with. And that’s because he only wants one job — ceo. And from where I stand, I think it would be a mistake to give it to him. Valentin: Ned, I made you an offer a few days ago, and since then, I’ve heard nothing. Why is that? I’ve been focusing on my family. And isn’t elq one and the same with your family? Once upon a time, maybe. Not anymore? I’m still living with the consequences of putting the company over the family. Oh, you mean my tenure as ceo? No, I mean, brook lynn is still dealing with the consequences of her contract with linc brown, which you exploited to take over the company. I think you need to stop looking at me as the problem and remember that I’m the one who got brook lynn out of that contract. Ah, yes. For a price. Everything has a price. So the question is, what is yours? For betraying my family? You couldn’t afford it. Ned, from where I stand, you’re the one being betrayed.

I know you drove all this way. No. It’s okay. I, um… I should go. Laura: Finn, I’ll walk you out. Okay. Uh, hey. I’d do anything for you. So if you want me to stay away, I’ll do that. Just so you know, I’m not giving up on us. Someday, when you’re ready, I’ll be there. Been through this every step of the way with elizabeth and now, somehow, it seems like it’s been all my fault.

[ Scoffs ] Absolutely not. Or my presence made it worse. She didn’t say that. She didn’t mean that. I know. It’s just… I hate this. Of course you do. Why — why do you think she’s allowing you to see her? Maybe because she knows that I’ve been where she is right now. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I had my own issues with mental illness about 20 years ago, and, you know, I lashed out at people — at luke at scott, even at my own mother. I was, um — I was dealing with a repressed memory, and, um, even though I loved these people very much, just seeing them subconsciously triggered my trauma. I’m sorry. I’m sorry you went through that. But you weren’t necessarily dealing with — with grief? No. I-I mean, well, it was a lot of things, but, no, not that. Do you think the root of elizabeth’s problem is something other than losing her husband? Michael and drew are going to put you on the sidelines, ned. You’re going to be given a meaningless title, menial responsibilities. What about leo? Are you concerned that they’re going to give leo an inferior position at elq, too? The only shares he’s in line for are yours. You’ve got to be in a position financially to protect him — and olivia. Well, in case you haven’t noticed, we’re not exactly paupers. So I think leo, olivia, and i will be just fine, whoever leads elq in the future. No, of course, but it’s not just the money. It’s also the power and the respect. You vote to keep me in place, and I can guarantee you will maintain a suitable role at elq. And what role is that? Name it. Ceo. No. You and I both know however you vote, that role is filled. Then why vote for you? Ned, I maintain we can reach a mutually agreeable arrangement, one where we both win. I don’t want the coo. Okay, we’ll get creative. We’ll come up with a way where you and i are practically equal. That would mean giving up a significant chunk of your power. Why? What’s in it for you? Well, in case you haven’t noticed, I’m getting squeezed out. So 50% of something is better than 100% of nothing. Wouldn’t you agree? What’s going on here? Michael: Look, ned is throwing a tantrum because he’s not getting what he wants. Is that who we really want in charge? Ned needs to be respected, michael, the same way that I respect your position with regard to sonny. Look, I wasn’t thrilled to hear that you were going to use elq to help bring him down, but you promised to leave elq out of it, so I don’t get a say. Well, I can afford to take things slower on that front now that wiley’s custody is secure. But why don’t you just let it go? Why — why should I? Look, sonny’s priority is nina — protecting her, supporting her. He doesn’t care about the harm that she’s done, much less what it’s cost his own family. There’s no coming back from that. You know who you sound like? Don’t say sonny. Okay, I’m not going to say it, but you do. I mean, I can practically hear you say, “he’s dead to me.” Oh, no, he’s not — he’s not — he’s not dead to me. Not yet. I have to crush him first. And when I do, I want him to know that it was me. Yeah, then after that, then he can get around to dying. What — what is that? This is the medication that marshall had with him. Do you want me to look at it? I can tell you what it’s for. You know what? I think I’ve violated marshall’s privacy enough. It’s my father’s job to tell his own story. Well, your father’s washing up now. He wouldn’t even let me wait outside the door. I guess his pride is still intact.

[ Chuckles ] Well, I better get going, so — portia, before you leave, I owe you an apology. When marshall first came back into our lives, I wasn’t honest with you. In trying to keep my promises to him and to my sister, I ended up giving you the runaround, which I suppose is another way of saying I outright lied. And I am not the person who likes to do that. Stella, you don’t owe me an apology. I mean, like you said, you had promises to keep, and it wasn’t your story to tell, it was marshall’S. And I’m certainly not going to blame you for making a choice that you felt was protecting your family. Now, why don’t i give you guys some space? You let me know if you need anything, okay? I love you. I love you. Patience of a saint, that one. Yeah, I got lucky. And she really stepped up for the family. So when are you going to make her an official part of it?

The way nina weaponized michael’s past, the extremes she was willing to go to to win, it was like a warning. I shouldn’t go looking for someone who could wind up being as indifferent, even harmful to my needs as nina is to wiley’S. You sure? I am. Between wiley and michael and the quartermaines and, of course, you, I have all the family I need. Oh. Oh, gosh. I’m — I didn’t mean to make you cry. No. Um… I — I just appreciate being appreciated. And, willow, for what it’s worth, I think you’re making the right decision. I just don’t want you doing something that you’re going to end up regretting. No, I won’t regret it. In fact, it’s already in the works. What is? Look, don’t worry. It doesn’t involve elq. You’re in the clear. Even so, I think — you know, instead of focusing on my differences with my father, let’s focus on increasing aurora’s stock so that, when we merge the companies, it’s on more of an equal footing. Okay, yeah. Yeah, yeah, you’re right. And so far, that’s been just so much more difficult than we thought. Valentin was nice enough to drop off some of charlotte’s old riding gear for leo. Ah, what a lovely gesture, valentin, whatever your motives are.

[ Gasps ] Can I see? -Yeah. -Yeah, go ahead. -Yay. You ask me, leo, you’re going to be a heck of a horseman. What do we say, honey? Thank you. You’re welcome. Happy trails. Anyway, I should probably get going. If there’s anything else you need, though, you let me know.

Arrivederci. Yeah, ciao. Uh, honey, why don’t you run up to the house and have cook give you a couple lumps of sugar for the horse, okay? Okay. Thanks, hon. Okay. Well, you seem to be getting along with valentin. You know, he was always great with bailey, and he’s been exceptionally kind with leo. I mean, sue me, but it’s kind of hard to stay mad at someone like that. Why? Oh, just saying. Uh, and you’re right, this is some really nice stuff that he dropped off. Well, goodwill gestures aside, I would sleep with one eye open with that guy around. Even on his best days, he’s up to something. Well, you know better than anyone what grief can do to a person. That I do. I know you want to be there for elizabeth, and you will be, eventually. Just not in the same room. Well, for now, no. You know, you really do have to respect her request for space from you. Okay. Are you really asking if I’m going to propose to portia? Now, after everything that’s happened? Curtis, it’s during troubling times that people prove themselves, and portia has already shown time and again that she is a true member of this family. Auntie, I appreciate the fact that you’ve grown to care for portia. You know how rare it is I think anyone is good enough for you. Oh, I’m aware. It’s just that, um, you know, we’ve only been together a little over a year. You’ve been together long enough to buy this house. Sounds like a commitment to me. This is an investment. In a commitment. Look, all I’m saying is, when you find someone who makes you happier than anything else in this world, you shouldn’t waste time because it won’t wait for you. I learned that the hard way. So has your father. You know, it’s just that the divorce between jordan and me, it’s still so fresh. Auntie, you okay? Yeah, fine. I — I guess the last few days are just catching up with me. That’s all. Okay. You sure? Mm-hmm. Excuse me. Hey, dad, how you feeling? Better. Thank you. Thank you. But, uh, also, uh, quite a bit terrified. Terrified about what? Whatever happens next. It’s time, son, I finally give you the answers you’ve been looking for.

Hello, gentlemen. Lovely day, isn’t it? Well, you’re awfully chipper for someone who’s about to be voted out. Nothing’s set in stone. And I’m pretty sure, even if I, uh, lose the round, I can still win the match. Before we — we get into all this, I want to — no, no, no, i need to clear your mama, irene, of any blame. That lie, the lie telling you and your brother that I had passed away, that wasn’t something she came up with after I left. I made that decision, and I pressured her to go along with it. After what happened, it was… curtis, I felt it was for the best. That was after you got arrested? Yeah. After that. Now, you might recall, I served in vietnam before you were born. I do. Curtis, when I came back to the world, I was disillusioned about a lot of things. I could hardly pick up my clarinet. I needed something. I needed — I needed purpose. And I found purpose. I found it in protest. First, it was just the war. Then — then, it was civil rights. Then, no nukes. Any injustice anywhere, I was there, curtis. Not — not just to make the world a better place, because that was part of it, but — but I needed to — to give myself purpose, and — and in doing that, I found my music again. But your mother, she thought I was pushing myself too much, that I wasn’t getting enough sleep, and that’s why — she felt that’s why I was having these — these paranoid thoughts. Paranoid? How? Man, I — I was convinced we were being watched. Finn. Hey. Did you see biz? How is she? I saw elizabeth. As to how she’s doing… …she wouldn’t tell me. We should put these in your room. Add a little bit of color. It can be so dull in there. It’s better than a cell. Part of me is still afraid that I’m going to be arrested or sued or both. Chase made it really clear that he is not going to press charges. What about franco’s art studio? I torched a building in my sleep. No, we do not know that yet, okay? You don’t remember it. There’s no evidence linking you to it. But what if I am charged? What? Those sleeping pills had been in your body for almost a year before you had any of those sleepwalking incidents, right? Yeah. So? So what if there’s something more going on here?

Are you saying you don’t think this was caused by the sleeping pills? No, I’m not saying that. I mean, the sleeping pills are definitely the “why” of it all. They — they made you sleepwalk and disassociate. It’s the “when.” You’d been taking these sleeping pills for almost a year before you had any of those sleepwalking incidents. So, I don’t know, I’m just wondering if maybe… did anything happen more recently that might have triggered that kind of behavior in you? Have you brought that up at all in any of your sessions? I think I need to lie down. Oh, okay, yeah. Alright, you do that. You get the rest you need to get, and I’ll come back very soon. Okay. Thanks. And thank you for coming. Truly. Terry: Elizabeth really asked you to leave? She implied that my being there was making things worse, that I make her feel like things are okay when they’re really not, and she can’t do the work that she needs to do. Of course, I want to respect her wishes, but I really care about her, and it’s hard, you know? Finn, I know you love elizabeth, and I also know what it’s like to not be able to help someone you care about, but trust me, the two of you will find your way back to each other once she works through her grief. That’s just it. You know? I’m thinking this might be about more than just grief. I think elizabeth might be repressing something else. Such as? You tell me. You’ve known her the longest. Other than losing franco, you and I already discussed the falling out she had with her parents. Do you know if anyone’s reached out to carolyn and jeff about what’s going on with elizabeth? I don’t know. But you think maybe it’s time someone did? I know that you’re upset about this disagreement with michael and drew, but you quartermaines, you’re always squabbling about elq, and for what? You always work it out. That was back when grandfather ruled with an iron fist or when my mother and aj served as a common enemy. This time, I’m the one on the outside. If you are truly worried about being put out to pasture, you go to michael and drew. You make a deal. That’s what you’re best at, right? This does not have to be a blood feud. Yeah, I guess you’re right. I always am. I’ve got no intention of losing the round or the match. Well, of course you don’T. No one ever intends to lose, but somebody has to. Hm. Maybe it’ll be you. Back at you. That’s the spirit. Come on. Let’s go. Ahh. What was that about?

[ Sighs ] Posturing. You know what? Actually, I think — I think it was more than that. My gut’s telling me that valentin’s planning something before the shareholders meeting. Like what? I don’t know. I don’t know, but it’s all I can think about now, which is probably his plan. So much for relaxation. Same here. All this talk about nina makes me wish I stayed to watch wiley’s swim class. You know, we could probably catch the end of it. Sounds perfect. Yeah? Okay. Um, see you both later. Okay, see ya. Bye, guys. Hey… is willow okay? She seems, I don’t know, just off. Nina got into her head. That’s all. Well, she can kick her right back out ’cause nina’s out of wiley’s life. She’s not willow’s mother. She’s nobody to any of you. You did the right thing, not looping willow in. She’s lucky to have you as a friend. I’m not that great of a friend. What are you talking about? You helped me. You helped me get settled back into port charles. You offered to buy aurora stock to drive up the price. What else would you call that? Okay, then let me be your friend. Let me help you save elq from valentin. Hey, I saw that you were observing today. I thought that you would be home with curtis and your grandfather. I want to be, more than anything, but the way I see it, marshall promised uncle curtis answers, and uncle curtis, he has been waiting a lifetime. To get those answers. I hope you’re right. Yeah. And I hope whatever explanation marshall gives helps heal the emptiness and uncertainty that uncle curtis has had to live with all these years. But still, I — I have to wonder, is there anything marshall can say to help uncle curtis understand why he just disappeared? That doesn’t sound entirely paranoid to me. Look, we know the government keeps tabs on — on protesters and people they deem instigators. It’s more complicated than that. When you were 3 years old, I went to another protest. There, the police were involved. Some people got arrested, and, um… I had an episode. An episode? You mean while you were resisting arrest? No, that’s just it. I-I wasn’t resisting arrest. Mnh-mnh. At least not intentionally. Anyway, the police, they dropped your daddy off. They dropped me off at a psychiatric ward. There, they put me under observation for 72 hours. And that’s when they were able to diagnose me. With what? Schizophrenia.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Tripp: It was really great of you guys to check in. I’ll see you soon, I hope.

[Knock on door] Hey!

Chanel: Who were you talking to?

Tripp: My half-sister and brother.

Chanel: Oh, sorry to interrupt.

Tripp: No, that’s okay. We were just saying goodbye.

Chanel: Oh. Well, you know, I had to wait in line out there to say hi to the local hero.

Tripp: Oh, come on.

Chanel: Can you eat real food?

Tripp: Yes. Yes, but they don’t serve that her so…

Chanel: Well, I have come to the rescue.

Tripp: Would that be ham and cheese on a croissant?

Chanel: Would I bring you anything else?

Tripp: Okay, okay, you can stay. You can stay, but no pictures or autographs, please.

Chanel: Aw. I don’t care what you say– you really are a hero. Mine at least. You saved allie’s life. You gave henry his mom back. Gave me my best friend back.

Allie: Will!

Will: I leave you alone for five minutes and you get possessed by the devil?

Allie: Well, it got you to come visit, right?

Will: Okay. What was it like?

Allie: Actually, I don’t remember any of it. But I heard I was a total bitch to almost everyone.

Will: So it was like your teenage years,

Allie: Pretty close. Yeah.

Will: Yeah. Honestly, though, I-I was very scared for you and johnny, so… thank god you’re both okay.

Johnny: Was aunt belle just here? I thought I saw her driving off.

Ej: Hmm. I’m doing some legal work for her.

Johnny: Oh. You gonna be a practicing lawyer again?

Ej: Just doing belle a favor.

Johnny: Heard your takeover of the company tanked.

Ej: Hmm. Thanks to your aunt kristen, but I haven’t given up on running dimera enterprises.

Johnny: Well, let me know if you need any help.

Ej: I will. What’s with the laptop? Doing some writing?

Johnny: Yeah, that was the idea, but, uh, all the noise is kind of making it hard to concentrate.

Ej: What noise?

Johnny: You don’t wanna know.

Both: Ahh!

[Both laughing]

Chad: That was–

Abigail: I think making love means even more when you’re–

Chad: Making a baby?

Abigail: Yeah.

Chad: Think we did it?

Leo: Ooh, thanks for the tip, gwennie. I hope this means you’ve decided to help me get revenge against abigail. Fine. You keep thinking it over, but I am not letting this go. I am going to get back at every single person who broke up craig and me. I don’t care if it takes me the rest of my life.

Sonny: What the hell are you planning now, you disgusting little creep?

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

[Soft orchestration]

Leo: Do you always eavesdrop on people’s personal phone calls?

Sonny: No, just the ones who slip me drugs and then send dummied up photos to the tabloids.

Leo: Those pictures were for real. You looked very happy and very satisfied.

Sonny: I look unconscious, which I was. Did you carry me to bed or did you drag me?

Leo: If you’re worried about will calling his lawyer, just tell him we didn’t go all the way.

Sonny: I know we didn’t because I was literally unconscious!

Leo: Maybe he’ll believe you, even if nobody else does.

Sonny: My lawyer is already in touch with the editor of “the intruder,” okay? I’m gonna do whatever it takes to set the record straight.

Leo: Good luck with that. Because these pictures are the talk of the town. Some people are even saying you might lose your job over them, which would be such a tragedy.

Allie: It was so sweet of you to come all the way here to check in on me.

Will: Well, it wasn’t just that. I’m–I’m dealing with the fallout from leo’s cookies.

Allie: Leo has cookies? Is he gonna open a rival bakery?

Will: You must be the only person in salem who hasn’t read “the intruder.”

Allie: No, I don’t read that rag.

Will: Okay. Well, forget I said anything.

Allie: No, come on, now you have to tell me.

Will: No, it’s just like… it’s another one of leo’s stupid stunts.

Allie: Oh, he’s still at it?

Will: Yeah, but, you know, we’re handling it and, um… I wanna–I’m here to talk about you. And I wanna hear about what happened. Are you sure you’re okay?

Allie: Physically, yeah. Mentally, um… it’s a lot to deal with.

Will: Mm.

Allie: You know, I heard i did some really awful stuff.

Will: Like what?

Allie: Um, I… chained johnny and ben up in the dimera family crypt. I kidnapped ciara, and she went into labor. So I delivered her baby and then went on the run with it.

Will: Um…wow, yeah that’s– that is pretty bad stuff, but, I mean, at least it wasn’t you, right? Did you talk to grandma?

Allie: She said what you said.

Will: Exactly, right? She would know. She went through it.

Allie: Still, it’s hard not to take responsibility. I mean, people are still hurting from everything I did. People I really care about, like chanel.

Tripp: Thanks for coming to see me again.

Chanel: Yeah, we didn’t really get a chance to talk the last time I was here.

Tripp: Yeah, it was a little crowded. It was like allie was the bachelorette and you and I were at the rose ceremony.

Chanel: Oh, it was not like that, and you know it.

Tripp: Kinda was…until johnny showed up at least.

Chanel: Johnny and I, uh… we ran into allie after you two had a chance to talk alone. She said you made it really clear that you weren’t getting back together.

Tripp: Yeah.

Chanel: But why? I know you love allie. Are you really ready to let her go? I was on an antidepressant,

Sonny: My uncle vick is still in charge at titan, and he’s backing me. So I don’t care what the, uh… “the rumor mill” says. My job is not in danger.

Leo: I couldn’t care less what happens to you now. I made a bundle off those pictures.

Sonny: Oh. It’s always about money for you, isn’t it?

Leo: You can be high and mighty–you’ve had money since you were born.

Sonny: Oh, my god, boo-hoo. I’ve heard this sob story before.

Leo: I wouldn’t have had to sell those photos if you and your friends had left craig and me alone! I’m on my own now because of you! And a girl’s gotta eat.

Sonny: That’s how you justify drugging me with laced cookies?

Leo: The note with the cookies said they were from your husband.

Sonny: Will just got back today–I know for a fact he has nothing to do with the fricking cookies!

Leo: So will is here already? How did he like the photos?

Will: So when the devil was running johnny, he told chanel he wanted a divorce…

Allie: At their wedding reception.

Will: And when the devil was running you, you…

Allie: Dumped chanel too. In the meanest way possible, according to her. So now do you see how I feel so bad about it?

Will: Yeah. I’m sorry–I didn’t even know you and chanel were dating. I mean, you told me you had feelings for her.

Allie: Yeah, well, I did a lot of thinking after our talk…

Will: Mm-hmm.

Allie: I don’t know. My life started to make a lot more sense once I realized I was bisexual. And I-I always thought I loved chanel as a friend, but now I realized I just loved her. Period.

Will: That’s great, allie.

Allie: It would be. If our brother wasn’t also in love with her.

Johnny: Chad and abigail… how do I say this delicately? They’ve been at it for a while.

Ej: [Chuckles] Well, now that our takeover plan has failed, I suppose chad’s turning his attention to his personal life.

Johnny: Easy for you to say. You don’t have the room next to theirs.

Ej: There are lots of other bedrooms in this house.

Johnny: And I’ll be moving into one of them. Otherwise, I’m not gonna get any sleep, let alone write.

Ej: Are you working on anything in particular?

Johnny: [Sighs] Well, now that my producer is dead, so is my movie about grandma, which is fine by me. I have a whole new perspective on devil possession.

Ej: Any new ideas?

Johnny: Yeah, mm-hmm, one that, uh…I mean, it’s pretty close to home.

Ej: May I know what it is?

Johnny: Why not? It’s about fraternal twins who are in love with the same girl.

Abigail: You know, if you really wanna be sure we made a baby–

Chad: Okay. Honey…mmm…I need a break. I need a break.

Abigail: Oh. Okay. What do you wanna do instead?

Chad: Well, if we’re gonna have another mouth to feed, I should probably start looking for a job.

Abigail: Yeah. I’m sorry that didn’t work out. I cannot believe kristen stabbed both of her brothers in the back.

Chad: Nothing she does surprises me anymore, especially after what she did to you and sarah.

Abigail: Well, I survived, and so did she–it looks like she’s going to anyway.

Chad: Mm-hmm.

Abigail: I’m just really glad that you and ej are getting along again.

Chad: Yeah. I, uh, I really didn’t like being on the outs with him.

Abigail: I mean, it wasn’t your fault. It seemed like he came back to town just trying to push everybody’s buttons. Mainly yours.

Chad: It wasn’t one-sided. I mean, I did some things I wasn’t proud of.

Abigail: Really? Like what?

Kate: Hey. Is roman babysitting henry?

Lucas: Yeah. They’re video chatting with sami right now.

Kate: Oh, great. So she has better reception, I guess, huh? Did she say when she’s gonna be able to fly back?

Lucas: No, mom. Not yet. The break is-is very bad.

Kate: Yeah, I heard.

Lucas: You know what–

Kate: W-what are you doing?

Lucas: Now that we’re alone, I think it’s time–I think it’s time. I want my apology.

Kate: [Exhales] For what?

Lucas: For accusing me of kidnapping the mother of my children. This is the sound of nature breathing.

Chad: I, uh…you know, I’m the one that testified against ej. So I’m basically the one that sent him to prison.

Abigail: Yeah, but, honey, you were under oath. You didn’t have a choice but to tell the truth.

Chad: Yeah, but I was wrong.

Abigail: Yeah, but at that point you thought you had proof that he was guilty.

Chad: Right.

Abigail: And the man–he was in your face all the time.

Chad: The important thing is that, um… him and I, we’re on the same side now. I mean, he’s a completely different person since he got out of prison.

Abigail: I do wonder though…

Chad: Okay. Come on, I can see those wheels turning. What?

Abigail: Well, the kidnapping. I wanna believe that ej’s innocent. But if he didn’t kidnap sami, then who did?

Chad: I don’t know. Guess we’ll never know.

Abigail: Not necessarily.

Chad: What do you mean?

Abigail: I think I just found “the spectator’s” next investigative report. I’m gonna find out who kidnapped sami brady.

Kate: Darling, why wouldn’t i accuse you of kidnapping sami since you had already done it once?

Lucas: I regret it, okay? And I’m never gonna do it again.

Kate: Hah. Well, I can’t believe you went to that extreme in the first place.

Lucas: It wasn’t my proudest moment, all right? I think about it every day. I regret it, I do. But a lot of good has come out of it, because now sami wants nothing to do with ej. And we have never been closer.

Kate: Okay. Does she know that he’s been released from prison?

Lucas: Yeah. Yeah, she does.

Kate: Okay. So she knows he’s innocent.

Lucas: Not exactly.

Kate: Oh, my god. Okay. So what does that mean?

Lucas: Well, you know, it took a little doing, but, uh, sami still thinks that ej is guilty as hell.

Kate: Oh, my god.

Ej: But you and chanel were married. You were in love.

Johnny: Yeah, I thought so.

Ej: And I thought allie and chanel were just friends.

Johnny: Before I was even in the picture, I think they’d begun to figure out they’re more than that.

Ej: Have they–

Johnny: Yeah.

Ej: Oh, I see.

Johnny: Your step-daughter’s bisexual, dad.

Ej: Right. Right. And so is chanel?

Johnny: [Inhales, exhales] Let’s just say that if she had to pick between the two of us right now, I don’t know if she’d choose allie or me.

Tripp: You’re right, I do still love allie. I mean, you don’t do a header through a stained glass window for someone you feel lukewarm about.

Chanel: Okay, then–then why did you tell her that you don’t wanna get back together?

Tripp: Because if I told allie that I wanted to start over, she’d say that she did too.

Chanel: And the problem with that is?

Tripp: I would never know if I’m the one she really wants or if she just feels obligated.

Chanel: Trying to be fair here. She does love you.

Tripp: Maybe. And maybe we’d be happy for a while, but… in the end, I know it wouldn’t work out.

Chanel: Why?

Tripp: I know for sure that I want to spend the rest of my life with allie, but only if allie knows for sure that she wants it too. And how can she know that? The love of her life is… it’s you.

Allie: You know, the worst part is we all thought johnny was being not just a jerk–

Will: Yeah. I mean, I thought he went from being like my cocky younger brother to a sadistic bastard.

Allie: Yeah, everyone did. I mean, you should have seen the things that he said to chanel in front of their families. You should have seen the way he talked to me. I mean, right after tripp proposed, johnny strolled in and told him that I slept with chanel.

Will: Is that what happened?

Allie: When the devil was done with johnny and johnny came back to his senses, he thought that everything could just go back to normal, that he could be happily in love and married to chanel.

Will: Yeah. Wow, that… that is a huge mess.

Allie: Tell me about it.

Will: So the only person in your quadrangle that the devil didn’t mess with is chanel?

Allie: Not directly anyway.

Will: Okay. And who does chanel wanna be with?

Allie: I don’t know. I mean, she kind of got bounced all around, so I’ve just been giving her space. I don’t think she even knows how I feel.

Will: Then maybe you should tell her.

Allie: Well, there is also another option. I could let her go.

Leo: I hope will isn’t too upset.

Sonny: Oh, bull! You would love that!

Leo: We both know he’s not one to point the finger. As I recall, he’s cheated on you more than once. Turnabout is fair play.

Sonny: Will knows I didn’t cheat on him, and the whole world’s about to know. ‘Cause I reported you to the cops.

Leo: [Fake gasp] Really? No messages from them yet.

Sonny: Mm. That’s ’cause I haven’t gotten my test results back yet.

Leo: What test results?

Sonny: Oh, the blood tests I took this morning. The one that will prove that you drugged me.

[Phone rings] Speaking of, there’s my aunt kayla, the one who administered the blood test this morning. Yeah, you might wanna stay there. You’re gonna wanna hear this. Okay, snacks and popcorn are gonna be expensive.

Sonny: Wait. But I–but i thought that– are you sure? Okay. Thank you. Bye.

Leo: Well? What did the good doctor have to say?

Sonny: What the hell did you do to me?

Leo: I hesitate to be specific here in public.

Sonny: Kayla said that there are drugs that can leave your system very quickly. That’s–that’s what you gave me, isn’t it?

Leo: Is this your cute little way of telling me she didn’t find anything?

Sonny: You drugged me, and I know it!

Leo: You might wanna stop saying that–you don’t have any proof. I think that’s called slander. Or is it libel? I always get those two mixed up.

Sonny: Libel is when you put lies into print, and that’s exactly what you did!

Leo: It’s not a lie, babe, and we both know it. You’re a cheating slimeball. Poor will and little arianna–

Sonny: Keep my daughter’s name out of your filthy mouth!

Leo: You didn’t think it was so filthy last night. Or maybe you did.

Sonny: You know what? Go for it, leo. You wanna get rolled back in a rug again? Keep saying garbage like that.

Kate: Lucas, ej is out of prison. So…how did you manage to convince sami that he’s her kidnapper?

Lucas: Well, ej wasn’t found innocent. They just threw the case out.

Kate: Yeah, but what difference does that make?

Lucas: Well, you know, the payments that were sent to the kidnapper that were found in ej’s computer might’ve been there–

Kate: Yeah. Yeah. Because you put them there.

Lucas: Right. Right. But all the other evidence points at ej 100%.

Kate: Lucas, what evidence?

Lucas: Motive. Ej was really upset when sami cheated on him. He was in a rage. He was going crazy. He wanted to kick her out of the house. He would do anything to get her back. And means. We all know the means. You know, the guard who was watching sami said that ej was the boss. So, you know, why would he lie about that?

Kate: Because you ordered him to–that’s why.

Lucas: Yeah, but sami doesn’t know that. And she never will.

Kate: But chad knows. Chad knows that you planted the phony evidence. So what if he decides to tell the truth?

Lucas: No, he won’T. He’s never gonna say anything. He wouldn’t, would he?

Kate: Ohh…

Abigail: I don’t know why i didn’t think about this before. If I can figure out who kidnapped sami brady, our circulation is gonna double. I mean, everybody in the area wants to know what happened.

Chad: Abby–

Abigail: I could get us into one of those true crime podcasts–I have been dying to get us into that market.

Chad: Shouldn’t you ask your mom–your mom and dad first?

Abigail: Why?

Chad: “Why?” They still own the newspaper, don’t they?

Abigail: Yeah, but they left me in charge because they trust me. Besides, it’s a great idea.

Chad: Sure. The cops have probably exhausted all their leads, though.

Abigail: I don’t know. I’m gonna start looking for new sources tomorrow, and maybe I’ll find something new.

Chad: Like what?

Abigail: Like the second kidnapper. They never tracked him down, right? I mean, that is a huge loose end!

Chad: The kidnapping happened six months ago. I’m sure the trail’s gone cold already.

Abigail: Well, it’s worth a shot. Besides, what if it clears ej’s name? Then shin’s gonna be back on his side.

Chad: But honey, ej’s already been cleared.

Abigail: His conviction was overturned–it’s not the same.

Chad: You know, ej’s fine to move past all of this. I mean, don’t you think that you should ask him if it’s okay to do a story?

Abigail: I don’t– I don’t get you right now. Why are you so against this?

Ej: Have you spoken to chanel?

Johnny: Yeah. Yeah, I even, uh, I even asked her to marry me again.

Ej: And?

Johnny: She said she needed time, which I get. She’s still dealing with the idea that I never stopped loving her, that I didn’t break up with her, but neither did allie. Plus, there’s this small problem of paulina being in jail for killing tr.

Ej: Mm. She does have quite a bit to deal with.

Johnny: Yeah. So I told her to take all the time she needs.

Ej: Why would you do a thing like that?

Chanel: Tripp, I’M… sorry.

Tripp: You don’t have a damn thing to be sorry about. It’s not your fault that you’re sort of, you know, irresistible.

Chanel: “Irresistible”? Don’t give me that. I didn’t set out to steal allie away from you.

Tripp: But you have years of history as friends. And now… you know, you’re more. I can’t compete with that. And, honestly, I shouldn’t have to. And that’s why I shut down us getting back together.

Chanel: Couldn’t have been easy.

Tripp: Well, one thing I’ve learned about the devil in all this is that the guy’s good. He knows exactly what to say to make you do whatever he wants. And when I told him to take me instead of allie, he pointed out that I was… always her second choice. I’ve decided I’m okay with it.

Chanel: What? Why?

Tripp: Because I love her enough to want her to have a long and happy life. Whether I’m part of it or not.

Chanel: Do you really mean that?

Tripp: You and allie want to be together. You’re not gonna get any flak from me. I’m in your corner.

Chanel: I…I don’t know what to say. I don’t even know if allie wants us to get back together.

Tripp: I’m pretty sure she does. So I guess now it’s just up to you to decide if that’s what you want. With depression, you just feel…blah.

Leo: Careful, jackson. People are starting to stare. Somebody might snap a phone photo and sell our lovers’ quarrel to the “the intruder.”

Sonny: You’re not gonna get away with this.

Leo: Kinda feels like I already have.

Sonny: If you ever come near me or my family again, I will end you.

Leo: Save your threats, tough guy. I’m gonna focus my energy elsewhere.

Sonny: What the hell does that mean?

Leo: Like I’m gonna confide in you? Let’s just say I’m not done with this town yet.

Will: Why would you give up on chanel? You just told me that you love her.

Allie: I do, but I also love johnny. And I don’t– I don’t wanna hurt him. Jonny and I have been on the outs for a long time now, and this whole situation made us realize that we still really love each other.

Will: I mean, that’s great.

Allie: Yeah, it is.

Will: But does that mean you should sacrifice your own happiness just so johnny can get what he wants?

Allie: You didn’t see johnny and chanel together, okay? They were crazy about each other, and they probably still would be if it wasn’t for… you know. And chanel and I never would have been together.

Will: Well, but you were, right? And, from what you tell me, it was real. So don’t just pretend that it didn’t happen.

Allie: Oh, I don’t know, this is all so confusing.

Will: Yeah, I know. It’s confusing. I-I know the feeling. I was confused. I slept with gabi to prove to myself that I was straight and all it did was, you know, convince me that I was gay. And I got her pregnant.

Allie: Yeah, but you got arianna, and you guys worked it out.

Will: Yeah. But a lot of bad things happened, mostly to gabi, because I was too afraid to go after what I wanted. And I feel for johnny, right? It’s not his fault that his marriage blew up, but that does not mean you just need to step aside. I think it might be best for everyone, for johnny and chanel, if you’re just–you’re just honest.

Allie: Really?

Will: Yeah. Don’t you think chanel deserves to know the facts before she decides what she wants to do with her life?

Chanel: To be dead honest, I don’t know what I want. I used to wish that I had never met allie and johnny. I felt they both played me for a fool. And then I find out that it’s the damn devil!

Tripp: I hear you. It’s unreal.

Chanel: I just… god, we all got played. Allie and johnny never meant to hurt me. I’m so, so confused.

Tripp: I can see why.

Chanel: It’s a huge mess. I was in love with both of them. And–and then I–now, I just–I don’t know who I should be with. Maybe I should just walk away from the whole thing.

Tripp: You could also just give yourself a little time.

Chanel: Yeah, that’s what I told johnny when he said he wanted us to get remarried.

Tripp: Wait, he proposed?

Chanel: He wants us to pick up right where we left off, but I said that I wasn’t ready to make any decisions right now. And so he backed off, and I guess he won’t be putting on the pressure, thank god.

Ej: If you truly love chanel, you can’t just sit back and wait and hope things go your way. You have to fight for her.

Johnny: She’s been through hell, dad.

Ej: It’s not your fault.

Johnny: I’m just trying to think about what she needs.

Ej: And while you’re thinking about what she needs, your sister could be trying to fight and win her back. Is that what you want?

Johnny: Why are you telling me to go after chanel, and when I told you I’d married her, you said she was just after my money?

Ej: I may have judged her too harshly.

Johnny: You did.

Ej: Mm-hmm.

Johnny: What made you change your mind?

Ej: When we rescued you that night, I realized how close I was to losing you. I haven’t been the best father to you lately. I’ve gotten a lot of things wrong. I was too focused on what I wanted for you rather than listening to what you wanted for yourself. If you want chanel, you have my full support. I must say, she’s conducted herself with dignity throughout this whole painful ordeal.

Johnny: Well…thank you for saying all that. But I still think I should back off for a while.

Ej: If I may say one more thing. I have many regrets in my life. And one of the biggest ones right now is not fighting for your mother.

Johnny: Well, I’m surprised to hear you say that.

Ej: We both know I spent years pushing her away. And now she’s with lucas. I don’t want you to live with the same regret. If you truly love chanel, do whatever it takes to be with her. Otherwise, you’ll end up like your old man.

Johnny: Maybe you’re right. Maybe I should fight for her. We hit the bike trails every weekend

Chanel: The last thing you need right now is me unloading my problems on you.

Tripp: Well, if you remember, I asked you how you were doing.

Chanel: I know it hurt you to tell allie it’s over. I know it’s not what you want. It’s because of me. Are we…okay?

Tripp: We’re good. I promise.

Chanel: I’m glad. Being friends with you, it means a lot to me. I haven’t had someone like you in my life in a long time. If you need to lean on me, you go ahead.

Tripp: I feel the same way. We will always be friends. Don’t worry. As long as you keep feeding me, of course.

Will: I should go. But you should take my advice.

Allie: I’ll think about it.

Will: You are so stubborn.

Allie: Okay, well, you’re no pushover yourself.

Will: Well, I guess it runs in the family.

Allie: Yeah. Hey, speaking of family, have you seen dad?

Will: No, is he in town?

Allie: Yeah.

Will: Is he with mom?

Allie: No. I guess she broke her leg skiing, so she can’t fly yet.

Will: Can you believe those two are back together?

Allie: I know.

Will: I mean, they used to fight like cats and dogs.

Allie: It’s crazy. But, hopefully, they’ve learned how to treat each other better, you know? No more plotting. No more secrets.

Will: Yeah. Well, we’ll see how long that lasts.

Allie: Yeah.

Lucas: Chad’s really thinking about ratting me out?

Kate: Well, I mean, he says that he’s going to keep your name out of it, that he’s planning on taking the blame for planting the phony evidence.

Lucas: Okay.

Kate: But the thing is you know ej is going to have a lot of questions.

Lucas: So you think chad will be willing to stir up a little trouble?

Kate: Well, he said that ej is a changed man. Since he got back from prison, the two of them actually made peace. And now I think that, for chad, the guilt is really weighing on him, you know?

Lucas: Oh, great. Just what I need.

Kate: Oh, yeah, principled persons–they’re really a pain, aren’t they? But, trust me, I think I convinced him to keep his mouth shut.

Lucas: Wait a minute, you think you did or you know you did? Did you get through to him or not?

Kate: I told him that ej would be furious. I told him that the reconciliation would be history, and also that he would be admitting he planted the phony evidence, and also that he perjured himself, so…

Lucas: Right. Right. He’d be looking at jail time too, right?

Kate: Right. I think he knows it’s not worth what he’d get for clearing his conscience.

Lucas: So it sounds to me like I’m good, like I’m in the clear, like I got nothing to worry about.

Kate: I think so, honey. For now. But do you really think you’re going to be able to keep a secret like this from a nosy woman like sami?

Chad: I just don’t think it’s safe for you to be hunting down some clown who kidnaps women for money.

Abigail: I’m not stupid. I know how to be careful.

Chad: Yeah, but you have to–you have to say that you’re a reporter when you’re asking questions, right? What if that gets back to the wrong person?

Abigail: Why are you borrowing trouble?

Chad: Because I saw what happened when you started looking into sarah’s disappearance–I could’ve lost you.

Abigail: But you didn’T. Everything turned out okay.

Chad: We got lucky.

Abigail: Look, for a story this big, I’m gonna have to take some risks.

Chad: Even if it turns out that you’re–that you could be pregnant? Fishing helps ease my mind.

Will: I can’t believe the drugs were already out of your system.

Sonny: And the cookies are gone too, so there’s no way to actually prove that leo drugged me.

Will: I am so sorry. I hate that guy so much.

Sonny: Yeah, me too. It took everything inside of me not to just deck the guy.

Will: Do you think he’ll try something else?

Sonny: I don’t know. He said something about focusing his energy elsewhere.

Will: Yeah. I wonder what that’s about.

Sonny: I don’t know. But I don’t like it.

[Edgy music]

Leo: Guess what. Uncle leo has a big surprise for the two of you.

Abigail: Okay. Well, now you’re not fighting fair.

Chad: Why? Because I’m trying to proct you and the baby that you may be carrying?

Abigail: I’m probably not even pregnant.

Chad: Well, I can tell you one thing. I am ready to put my shoulder to the wheel…and we will not give up until I put a baby inside of you.

Abigail: You’re just trying to change the subject.

Chad: Is it working?

Abigail: You know it is. But just for now.

Lucas: You know I feel rotten about what I did to sami. And if she finds out, she’d hate me.

Kate: Forever.

Lucas: Yeah, I know forever. That’s why I gotta live this lie for a while.

Kate: [Whispers] Oh, my god. Lucas, please, you know these secrets have a way of coming out. You know that.

Lucas: Don’t do that to me. Now you’re stressing me out. Thanks a lot. Now I need some air.

[Dark chords]

Allie: Hey, dupree.

Chanel: Horton. What are you doing here?

Allie: I was told that the devil quit my job, and I was hoping that you would take me back.

Chanel: You mean at the bakery, right?

Allie: Um… not just at the bakery. Chanel, I-I wanna get back together.

Johnny: [Ahem]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Taylor: Reconnecting with with you has been… it’s been great. I’m– I am so thankful for these moments.

Ridge: I am, too. I’m thankful… for the food all the way from san gabriel.

Taylor: Yay.

Ridge: And I’m thankful for you being back in my life.

Brooke: Taylor is there with ridge right now. She doesn’t even care that he’s still my husband.

Deacon: Does he even remember that he has a wife, that he’s got a marriage to come home to? Because I’ll tell you what, if you were my wife, I would never forget.

Donna: No. I–I have kept quiet for so long, and I just don’t want to anymore. I hate the idea of you going home to a wife that– that doesn’t even make you happy. Maybe it’s just for the best, eric. Maybe if you finally, finally leave, quinn.

Carter: I admire you, quinn. Your commitment to eric, your marriage. I just can’t stop thinking about what could have been. The life we almost– you’re a remarkable woman.

Donna: You say that you care about quinn. But does she make you happy?

Eric: I don’t know.

Donna: Shouldn’t you, though? Shouldn’t you know, if your wife brings you joy?

Eric: She used to.

Donna: Life is so short, eric. Why are you going to spend it it with somebody that you can’t even trust? You deserve so much more. You deserve to be happy and fulfilled and– a life that I could give you.

Quinn: You admire my commitment to eric? There’s nothing really to admire. It’s– it’s the easiest thing in the world. Who couldn’t devote themselves to the– that sweet man? I’m committed to eric because his commitment to me has never wavered. And it never will.

Brooke: Le– deacon, please.

Deacon: Ridge is like the luckiest guy in the world. And it’s not ’cause of all his money, and it’s not ’cause of the family he was born into. It– it’s ’cause he has you. And the guy– no! He doesn’t appreciate you!

Brooke: Stop. Please, wait! Just– I know why you’re saying these things. You’re saying it to support me, me and make me feel better. And you’re trying to help. But this isn’t really helping. I need you to believe that ridge and I do have a connection and that we have a bond that isn’t broken. And that he’s gonna come back to me, no matter how many takeouts taylor brings over to his house. Ridge still believes that I make him happy. And he knows that I love him, that we love each other. I going to remind him of that. I’m gonna make him make him realize that we can still be husband and wife, and that we still have a– a wonderful future ahead of us.

Taylor: I love seeing you happy. Hm. I’m glad I can give you some– some much needed smiles.

Ridge: You can, even in these challenging times.

Taylor: Especially in these challenging times. I know you’re in a difficult place. You don’t want to hurt anybody.

Ridge: She’s my wife.

Taylor: I know. You’re a good man, ridge. You know, no matter what– what happens with us, or with you and brooke, we– we both love that you have a huge heart. That’s why we both love you.

Ridge: Hm. Facing expensive vitamin c creams with dull results?

Deacon: You got to do what’s right for you. I just want you to know that I’m always here for you. If he ever disappoints you, again, you know, like, telling you to leave when taylor’s around, something like that.

Brooke: So they could have a conversation about their daughter. I left so they could talk about all the important things going on with steffy. But you know, coming home and seeing you here, twice, in one day, unannounced got me to think. I know what I have to do. Taylor has had enough time with ridge. And I am his wife, not taylor. And he is going to come back to me, maybe even tonight.

Eric: Donna, I hear what you’re saying, I just– I just don’t know what to think.

Donna: Remember what I– I was saying before? Sometimes we just think too much? It might be, you just have to feel. I know you care about quinn, and you. You– you respect her, but I just have one question. Are you in love? I know you were, but if you’re not anymore. Eric, you–

Eric: I should just cut my losses and run?

Donna: Well, quinn has a mean streak, you better run fast!

[ Both chuckling ]

Eric: Yeah. You’re always able to make me laugh. Thank you.

Donna: And it makes me so happy to put a smile on this face.

Eric: Good. Donna. Donna.

Donna: I– I don’t wanna talk anymore to you. What was I saying? Just– just feel. Just feel.

Carter: Speaking of that sweet man, how’s that new, uh, smart ring working out?

Quinn: Oh, it’s good. He likes it. And I like it too. I mean, it gives me peace of mind being able to keep track of my husband’s health.

Carter: And without him knowing about it, right? You still haven’t told him it’s more than just a ring?

Quinn: No, no. I mean, I know it’s silly, but I– I don’t want eric thinking I’m worried about him or– or that I think he’s weak or fragile. I just– he’s so important to me. I– if I lost him, I just, I don’t–

Carter: I wonder if he knows… if he knows how far you’d go, the steps you’d take. Eric is so damn lucky to have you in his life.

Thomas: Hey, mom, you home?

Taylor: Thomas, hi! I was just about to text you.

Thomas: Really?

Taylor: Yeah, yeah. I need to see you and douglas for dinner A.S.A.P.

Thomas: Okay, well, let’s plan it.

Taylor: Okay, and– and you might want to warn him now that kelly and hayes are gone. All of my grandma attention is going to be focused on him.

Thomas: I will let him know.

[ Laughing ]

Taylor: Okay.

Thomas: Um, so how are you doing with that, by the way?

Taylor: With what?

Thomas: Steffy not being here. And the kids being gone. I mean, that– this was… a house full of energy, you know, these kids running around and everything. And then I just– I hope it’s not lonely now.

Taylor: Thank you. I– I’m not going to lie, the– the vibe is so different. I’m so used to walking in the door and– and kelly beelining right into my arms and– and spending more time with your father, and– actually, I was actually just with him.

Thomas: Yeah?

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah. We had dinner together.

Thomas: Oh, uh, I hope it was somewhere fancy.

Taylor: No. It was– it was takeout um, at your grandfather’S.

Thomas: Ah, yeah. Uh, I just– heh, I– I don’t think he should be living there. I think he should be here with you.

Taylor: You know, I’m not upset, I’m– I’m really not. Your father needs to figure out what he wants in his life, you know? And he moved in with his dad, not with brooke. That’s a big step for ridge.

Thomas: Yeah.

Ridge: Hey, dad, is that you? Thought I heard the front door.

Brooke: Hi. It’s me. My moderate to severe plaque psoriasis…

Quinn: I’m the lucky one. I mean, after what I did to eric, I– I’m– I’m beyond thankful that he was able to forgive me.

Carter: Yeah, things could have ended very differently. Could’ve fired both of us. Divorced you. Of course, though, that means you and I–

Quinn: Look, are things perfect between eric and me? I mean– no. No, they’re not. Things are still… a little difficult. But, you know, I’m– I’m willing to… do the work. I’m willing to do whatever it takes to– to put our marriage back on track. And I have to believe that– that someday soon, eric and I will be fully back together.

Eric: Donna. Donna. As much as I love this, and as much as I would like it to continue on, I can’T. Now, look, I shouldn’t be here. I wasn’t going to come. But I had to because I wanted to tell you this in person.

[ Donna stammering ]

Donna: Wait– what, what?

Eric: Donna, what we’re doing, this, it has to stop. We can’t do this anymore.

Thomas: And you and dad have so many memories together, and you’re still making more, despite his decision to move out, you’re– you’re hanging out with each other and hopefully more memories to come, right?

Taylor: Yeah, I hope so. We had– we had fun. At least after brooke left.

Thomas: Why was brooke there?

Taylor: Well, she stopped by, um, she was not happy to see me, especially since your father and I were about to share a meal.

Thomas: Hmm. As if that’s any of her business.

Thomas: Do I need to remind you, thomas, she and ridge are married. They have vows together.

Thomas: You’re right. And I’m sure somewhere in those vows, it says, “don’t make out with other people.” Ugh, okay. You know, I’m just, I’m surprised that she didn’t come in, grab a fork and try and join in.

Taylor: Well, she would have if she could have, but, ridge didn’t let that happen. He, uh, he asked brooke to leave.

Thomas: Huh.

Ridge: Logan. What are you doing?

[ Laughs ]

Brooke: Don’t worry, ridge, I saw that taylor’s car was gone. I know you needed to talk to her. I get that. And I can respect it. You have a lot of things you have to talk about. But so do we. That’s why I came back here. I couldn’t wait one more day without telling you how much I truly miss you. And I know you miss me, too.

Ahhh, not again.

Quinn: Eric is such a good man. I hate to think that there’s still some part of him that… feels hurt by what I did.

[ Phone alarm chiming ] Oh, oh, sorry. I have to get this.

[ Alarm continuing ] Oh. Oh, no.

Carter: Something wrong?

Quinn: It’s the– it’s the ring app thing. It’s– it’s telling me that eric’s heart rate, his blood pressure, it’s– it’s going through the roof.

Carter: Well, where is he? Is he at home?

Quinn: No, he’s at the club.

Carter: Okay, well, it’s not that far from here, if you’re worried, then–

Quinn: Maybe I should go there. Make sure he’s okay.

[ Panting ]

>Donna: Eric, are you okay?

Eric: Yeah, I’m okay. I’m all right. I’m all right. I just need– I– I just need to catch my breath. All right?

Donna: Me too.

Eric: Oh. Well. I’m not very good at breaking up, am I?

[ Both laughing ]

Donna: No, no, not at all.

Thomas: Dad actually asked brooke to leave?

Taylor: He did. He said that he and I needed some time together.

Thomas: Well, I– I’m glad he’s finally accepting that.

Taylor: I mean, I– I think maybe he’s starting to realize that the cycle that he and brooke get into, the behaviors on either side never change. This last time, her defending deacon, I’m not sure he can get past that.

Ridge: Of course I miss you. I miss our home.

Brooke: Well, that’s why I’m here. To let you know that I want our home to be a place where you feel completely at peace. Relaxed. No concern, no angst. And definitely not a place where deacon stops by. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. And it’s nice to know that, uh, sheila played a part in my drinking.

Ridge: I will never forgive her for what she did.

Brooke: Months and months ago, I– I was pushing my daughter to have a relationship with her father, regardless of your concerns of what you were trying to tell me. And I wasn’t listening to you. And I’m sorry. I mean, it shouldn’t have been like that. A wife has to be there for her husband and, consider what he’s saying, what he’s feeling. So, that’s what I’m going to do. Just because sheila was the reason I drank doesn’t mean that, uh, I’m not responsible for kissing deacon and having him spend the night. I want you to know that I am going to listen to you from now on. I am going to hear what you have to say. Because that’s really important and deacon is no longer welcome at our house. I mean, yes. My daughter and her father, they can have a relationship together, but it’s somewhere else. It’s not at our home, our house. And I mean that. Because I do love you so much. I just– I want you to come home. Home. And I want you to believe that you and I have a future together. That we can still be husband and wife.

Y&R Update Monday, June 6, 2022

Young & The Restless Update

Y&R logo

Recap written by Christine

Jack looked depressed as he paced around his living room. Phyllis showed up, and a stone-faced Jack told her that it wasn’t a good time. She talked her way inside, stating that they shouldn’t let something stupid ruin what they had. Phyllis apologized, even though she admitted saying sorry didn’t come easy to her. He asked her to be specific about what she was apologizing for. She was sorry for what she said and did and for the aftermath. She wanted to take full responsibility, but it was difficult because she couldn’t get Diane out of her head. She said she felt threatened by Diane. He thought that was absurd. She knew he was right, but her hatred for Diane was in her DNA. “You let your issues with Diane affect us,” he said. She admitted that she’d been immature and wrong. She also apologized for pushing him into something he wasn’t ready for. Phyllis explained that she’d felt like she needed to get Jack before Diane got her hooks into him.

Phyllis felt like all the progress she’d made went away after Diane returned. Jack agreed, and he couldn’t get over the fact that Phyllis backslid so quickly. Phyllis told Jack not to go to extremes. She felt that, since she’d owned up to what she’d done and apologized, he would be able to get past it. “Because I’ve gotten past it so many times in the past? That’s not exactly a selling point,” he grumbled. Jack said it wasn’t just that Phyllis reverted to her old ways, it was that she transformed from new Phyllis to old Phyllis in the blink of an eye. She reiterated that she apologized, and she promised to change for him. He snapped that he didn’t want her to change. He said he’d made it clear, months ago, when there was a hint that they might get back together, that he’d almost rather die than be hurt again. She contended that it was just one mistake, but he argued that it was so much more. He said they’d carefully, thoughtfully and lovingly been rebuilding their trust, and she threw it all away to get an edge on Diane. “You can’t change! And I can’t do this! I’m done,” he snapped.

Just after Jack broke things off with Phyllis, Diane, Summer and Kyle entered. The trio’s laughter was cut short as they walked in on the tense scene. Jack excused himself to make a phone call. Kyle pointed out to everyone that Jack’s phone was still on the coffee table. Diane stifled a smile. Summer asked if Phyllis was okay, and she claimed she was. Phyllis said she and Jack were supposed to go out for drinks and dancing, but he had other obligations. Diane noted that Jack looked upset before he left. Phyllis said he was fine. She left.

Kyle went to check on his dad. Summer asked Diane what was going on between Jack and Phyllis. Diane said she had no idea. Kyle returned with the news that Jack wanted to be alone. Summer went to go check on her mom. Kyle and Diane left too. Jack went back to the living room and ran into Traci, who asked what was wrong. He fired off a snippy comment, before apologizing to his sister. He asked if she wouldn’t judge him, and she pointed out that she never would. He admitted he knew she wouldn’t. She implored him to talk to her. He said it was Phyllis. He thought he was being so careful and that he and Phyllis were on the verge of something wonderful. They’d been doing this romantic dance for months now, he said. They had the attraction, the connection, the history, good and bad, to guide them. Just when things were almost perfect, Phyllis ruined it all. Traci was so sorry. Jack felt like he should’ve known Phyllis would never just focus on their relationship. He said she was pulled to wreak havoc and welcome chaos, and it was more important than their relationship. He said what he and Phyllis had was over before it even began. He couldn’t believe he was here again. He told Traci that he and Phyllis were through for good. Traci hugged Jack.

Jack said he knew the odds were against him and Phyllis. He guessed he should consider himself lucky that things didn’t get very far. He said he’d never put himself in this position again. Traci told Jack he didn’t have to put on a show for her. She knew he was a romantic who loved with his whole heart, and she knew how much it hurt when that love went wrong. She said tomorrow he could put a positive spin on things, but tonight, it was okay if he just wanted to feel bad. She was there for him. He took her hand.

Summer tracked Phyllis down at the hotel and offered a shoulder to lean on. Phyllis said Diane was poison. She told Summer to convince Kyle that Diane would shatter his heart in a million pieces and that she needed to leave town. Summer said she couldn’t do that without the facts. Phyllis thought Summer should just trust her mother on this. Summer asked what Diane did. Phyllis stated that Diane would ruin lives. Phyllis got up and walked away, even though Summer kept calling for her.

Phyllis grabbed a drink from the mini bar in her room. She was pleasantly surprised when her son, Daniel called. She told him he should call more often.

At Newman Enterprises, Victor had just told Victoria and Nikki that their troubles with Ashland would be over soon. Victoria asked her father what he’d done now. He acted as if he had no idea why she asked him that. She replied that she knew him well enough to know he did something. Victor mentioned that Ashland came to see him. Victoria couldn’t imagine Ashland would do that unless he’d been provoked. Nikki reminded Victoria that she’d said she didn’t want to talk about Ashland. Nikki began to gush about the trip to Switzerland, and while she was talking, Victoria got a text from Ashland that said he’d never stop loving her.

Victoria lied to her parents and told her that it was a work text. Victor suggested Victoria put that off until tomorrow and go home and rest. She admitted she was tired, and Victor invited her to spend the night at the ranch. She said she could handle a night alone in her own house. He invited her to Society, and she said she was going to take his advice and go rest. She left. Nikki and Victor didn’t believe a word Victoria just said.

Nikki and Victor went to Society. He asked if Victoria mentioned Locke in Switzerland. Nikki said Victoria didn’t mention him at all, but she’d been very quiet on vacation, and Nikki didn’t push her. Nikki mentioned that Victoria told her before the trip that she still had feelings for Ashland. Nikki didn’t think that changed – if anything, Victoria was more conflicted. Victor didn’t understand how Ashland still had a hold on Victoria.

Victor shared that he convinced Kyle and Summer to file a restraining order against Ashland on Harrison’s behalf. He hoped that would make Ashland realize there was nothing left for him here. Nikki hoped that worked, though she hated the idea of using Harrison as a pawn. Victor didn’t think they were using Harrison, but protecting him from Ashland. Victor was worried Victoria still had feelings for Ashland. He said they had to stop Victoria and Ashland from crossing paths. Nikki was dismayed to see Kyle and Diane come in together. She told Victor she wanted to leave before she had to slap Diane again. Victor didn’t realize Nikki slapped Diane. He wished he’d been there to see it. She promised to share the whole sordid story in the car. As the couple exited the restaurant, they said hello to Kyle only.

Kyle didn’t expect Nikki and Victor to be happy to see Diane, but he thought they could’ve at least acknowledged her. Diane said Nikki acknowledged her right across the face the last time they crossed paths. Kyle seemed appalled, but Diane said that Nikki held a grudge with good reason. Diane had given up trying to change certain people’s minds about her, Phyllis being at the top of the list. Kyle was sorry; he knew that must be hard, and he anticipated that Diane would be facing more battles. Diane asked if Kyle didn’t want her to stay. It wasn’t that he didn’t want her to stay – he just wanted to recognize that it came with a cost. She said she’d do whatever it took to be part of his life. He said they had a long way to go emotionally, but they were on the right track, as long as she didn’t do something that made him doubt her sincerity. She said that wouldn’t happen. Summer showed up wanting to talk to Kyle alone. Diane said she’d call Kyle tomorrow, and she left.

Summer said her mom was on the verge of a breakdown, apparently because of his mom. She didn’t know what happened, but her mom was a powder keg, his mom was the match. Summer thought she and Kyle needed to prevent an explosion. Kyle asked if Summer really thought it was that bad. Summer said yes, and she asked that he not defend Diane to her again. He knew that Diane and Phyllis’s distrust and dislike for each other went way back and it was hard to let go of. Summer thought she had a way to defuse her mom for awhile.

After Ashland sent his text, he began to pack his suitcase, then he called the lobby and checked out. “No, I have not enjoyed my time here in Genoa City,” he tersely replied to the person at the front desk. Victoria showed up and talked to Ashland in the hall. He thought she was still in Europe. She said the spa didn’t give her peace of mind. She saw his bags and commented that it was true about him leaving. He was sure she’d be relieved to hear he was getting out of this godforsaken town and never looking back.

Victoria invited herself into the suite and commented on Ashland’s intention to leave town without saying goodbye face to face. He reiterated that he thought she was in Europe. She asked why he was rushing to leave. He didn’t have the will to fight anymore. He said he lost, and the Newmans won. Victoria said the last she heard, Ashland was going to stay in town as long as Harrison was here. Ashland realized Victoria didn’t know what happened. He was relieved because he didn’t want to believe she’d have any part in this. She asked what happened. He pulled out the restraining order barring him from Harrison and said that her father convinced Summer and Kyle to file it. She was shocked, and she didn’t want to believe her father would use a child like that. Ashland said this had Victor’s name all over it. He said that he didn’t do anything illegal in regards to his son, and yet a judge signed off on the restraining order, with Michael Baldwin as the attorney. “I have no doubt that your father orchestrated this as a final move to get me to leave town. And it worked. He did the impossible. He got me to walk away from you,” Ashland said.

Ashland was grateful Victoria came, so he would get to say goodbye in person. He didn’t expect her to believe him, but he said she made him an infinitely better man. Even though he’d lost her, he’d be forever grateful for their happy times together. Besides Harrison, Victoria was the only bright spot in his life. His company didn’t bring him the joy that she did. He thought they both knew their love was real. She asked why she should believe him. He began to cry, and he admitted she shouldn’t believe him because he lied to her and betrayed her trust. He vowed to continue to try and make amends. He said he’d try and help people and he’d contribute to charities like her brother’s. He knew it wasn’t a lot. He said he’d give up everything for her. He added that he’d walk through fire for her, and she pointed out that he already had. He said yes, he pulled her out of a burning car so she could be set free, happy and fulfilled without him. He admitted her family was right to push him away from her. He hated to say it, but she was better without him. She cried, and he assured her that he’d be gone soon, so she wouldn’t have to cry over him again.

Victoria confessed that she was crying because she wanted Ashland to stay. Ashland said he’d wanted to believe Victoria still had these feelings for him, but he’d given up hope that she could get past his lies. She said she didn’t want to have feelings for him. She went to Europe to push the feelings aside. She didn’t want to act on the pull she felt to him. She came here tonight to say goodbye to him once and for all, but when he said goodbye to her, she realized she couldn’t bear it. She took stock of their entire relationship, and she felt that she couldn’t have misjudged him that much – it couldn’t have all been lies. He said it wasn’t. She brought up their love, their wedding vows, every intimate touch – it had to be real. He said it was real. Against her judgment, she believed him. She also really thought their love changed him. She tried, but she couldn’t erase the love they had. It was too powerful, and she said she’d never run away from it again.

Ashland wanted this reunion. Victoria said it wouldn’t be easy, since the whole town was against them, but they’d find a way. He tried to kiss her, and she recoiled. He apologized and said he misunderstood. She said she wanted to take this slow and be sure they were doing things for the right reason this time. He said they loved each other, and he couldn’t think of a better reason. She said she needed time so they could rebuild their trust. She wanted a healthy stable relationship with him, because that was the way to heal. She asked if he was willing to wait. He told her she was worth waiting for. She was glad he said that because she didn’t want to lose him ever again.
