Victoria: I think we should have press conferences every day. I’ve forgotten how much fun they can be when they’re for a good reason.

Nikki: Oh, she’s addicted to the buzz.

Nick: Because they’re all about her.

Victoria: That is not true. There is a lot of excitement surrounding your return to the company.

Nikki: Yes, everybody loves a comeback.

Victoria: However, I did notice that someone was conspicuously silent on the matter. Adam.

Nick: He said he was gonna walk away.

Victoria: Well, I guess he meant at this time.

Nikki: Well, then what you said earlier is true. We will make sure that newman media is our first order of business.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Adam: In answer to your first question, I am here.

Sally: Oh, my god, thank goodness. I thought something happened to you or that you were ghosting me.

Adam: Yeah, I’m al in one piece, unharmed. See?

Sally: So you were avoiding me.

Noah: Coffee’s on me, so order whatever you like.

Allie: Wow, that’s rather magnanimous of you for a guy who’s never paid for a cup of coffee here in his life because his mom owns the place.

Noah: Do you want one or not?

Allie: Iced with the works.

Noah: Okay. Whipped cream?

Allie: Sure. Why not? I feel like I’ve been good today.

Noah: Oh, you have been exactly what I needed for much longer than that. You stuck around to listen while I figured out the whole new hope thing.

Allie: And what to do with your life.

Noah: And most people would’ve told me to shut up and get on with it already.

Allie: Noah, hey, listen, it’s a big decision. You’re about to go seriously disappoint your father, and these things have to be handled very carefully.

Noah: Okay, you did not just say that.

Allie: I know it sounds harsh, but I promise you that I am helping.

Noah: How exactly are you helping?

Allie: By giving you reminders of what the worst will happen, it’ll build up your immunity to it.

Noah: Hmm. Okay. Well, maybe you can help me come up with some ways to not feel like a total jerk for leaving my dad’s charity.

Allie: I’m just being realistic. Look, your father is kind and understanding and laid back, but this isn’t gonna be an easy conversation.

Noah: Yeah. Hey, you know what I should do? I should just bring you along with me. That way, you can blurt out the bad news before I get a chance to say anything.

Allie: You mean like I just did with your sister and her wife?

Noah: Mm-hmm. It’s good to know you can keep a secret.

Allie: That’s not true. Most of the time, I am a vault. I don’t know what happened earlier.

Noah: Maybe I just make you nervous. Is it my devilish good looks, or perhaps it’s my unique brand of humor?

Allie: What you might have seen there was me being afraid that you were gonna make a joke and I would have to scrape up a pity laugh. I’m so sorry, though, for telling mariah and tessa.

Noah: It’s okay. I wanted their opinion almost as much as I wanted yours.

Allie: Don’t give me credit for that. You made this decision on your own.

Noah: You know, you really got to quit it with this excessive of modesty thing. Sometimes you just got to take the compliment. You know, live in the moment.

Phyllis: Hey, allie, noah. Look at you two. You’re so adorable together.

Ashley: And I’m telling you, your granddaughter was the absolute star at jabot today. She asked all the right questions. She knew all the right answers at the orientation.

Jack: You already have the reviews from chemists in the lab.

Ashley: They love her.

Jack: I knew they would.

Ashley: She’s familiar with the equipment already, jack. She’s making herself at home. She’s gonna run the joint pretty soon.

Jack: She is keemo’s daughter.

Ashley: She’s so smart. She’s so intuitive. Just like her father.

Jack: You know what, I missed such important time with him, but having her here, helping nurture her skills in the family business is a dream come true.

Ashley: Proud grandpa speaking here.

Jack: Yeah. Hey, make no mistake. No special favors. She sinks or swims 100% on her own.

Ashley: She’s made it clear she wants nothing special just because she’s an abbott.

Jack: I think this is gonna work out. I hope it does.

Ashley: You hope it does, huh? Of course it will. She’s happy. And how’s jack? Is jack happy?

Jack: No complaints.

Ashley: Well, I was thinking about asking about your love life.

Jack: No, don’t do that.

Ashley: Haven’t seen phyllis around lately.

Jack: Yeah, we’re both very busy people.

Ashley: Not that long ago, you were joined at the hip.

Jack: Well, that’s kind of an exaggeration, isn’t it?

Ashley: She did it, didn’t she?

Jack: What? What are you saying?

Ashley: Phyllis pulled a phyllis.

Jack: I don’t even know what that means.

Ashley: Jack, you know exactly what it means. What did she do? Listen, I’m done settling. Because this is my secret.

Adam: I never went to chicago.

Sally: Okay. Well… what did you do instead?

Adam: I went over this latest mind game that my father played, how I responded. I looked at every move and countermove that we’ve made since this whole thing started.

Sally: Okay, why didn’t you just tell me that or, better yet, use me as your sounding board?

Adam: Well, I just needed some time to be alone. I needed to understand why I allowed myself to be manipulated into thinking that he believed in me. I mean, he dangled the ceo position in front of me, and I — I fell for it. Twice.

Sally: Well, yeah, I mean, what your father did was inexcusable, but you shouldn’t beat yourself up for trusting him.

Adam: Well, trusting him was a huge mistake. And it’s just… it’s made me question everything that I’ve done since I came back to this town. Everything that I’ve done to infuriate him, undermine his trust, question my ability, my fitness for the job, which is why you were the last person that I need as a sounding board right now.

Sally: Why would you say that?

Adam: Because I realized you are the reason I am on the outside. You are standing between me and everything that I want.

Phyllis: Hey, your internship at jabot is starting soon, right?

Allie: Wow. You remembered.

Phyllis: Of course. Of course. It’s a really big deal. You know, those chemists, they — they churn out dozens of new product year after year. And when a bright new chemist enters, I mean, it’s a game changer.

Allie: You know, in chemistry, you call that a catalyst.

Phyllis: Ah.

Allie: I actually just had my orientation.

Phyllis: That’s great. Congratulations.

Allie: Thank you.

Phyllis: Did jack happen to tell you that I was once ceo at jabot?

Allie: I’m not really sure.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Allie: Yeah.

Phyllis: Well, I mean, if you ever want to talk, I can give you some insight as to how everything’s run there. In fact, why don’t I get some drinks and some pastries and we could talk now?

Noah: Oh, no, she can’T.

Phyllis: Why not?

Noah: Uh, we — we have that thing that we’re going to, and we don’t want to be late to that because…

Allie: He’s great. I’m so sorry, but I’m sure you understand.

Noah: Busy woman like phyllis, better believe she does. Matter of fact, we have taken up way too much time as it is, so we should probably go on.

Allie: I’m sure we’ll catch up soon. I’ll talk to you later, phyllis. Okay. Bye.

Diane: Wow. You can really clear a room.

Jack: There are certain aspects of my life I am not comfortable sharing with my sister.

Ashley: Oh, shush, you can share everything with me. You know that by now. So what happened?

Jack: Phyllis lured me into a romantic assignation in her hotel, and then contrived to have diane see what I foolishly thought was an intimate moment between the two of us.

Ashley: Hmm. How childish of her.

Jack: Yeah, what I thought was a giant step in my relationship with phyllis, she thought of as an opportunity to send diane a message. And don’t let this fuel your ongoing animosity toward phyllis.

Ashley: Why couldn’t it be both?

Jack: Meaning what?

Ashley: Why couldn’t this be a big step in your relationship, but also, why can’t phyllis be making a point with diane?

Jack: Why, ashley, it almost sounds like you are defending phyllis’ actions.

Ashley: No, listen. Okay, phyllis is still not my favorite person, but this is diane jenkins we’re talking about, and we both know what she’s capable of. So if you look at the situation from that perspective, it makes sense that phyllis would want to set some boundaries proactively. And this is phyllis we’re talking about, so if you were expecting subtlety, well, shame on you.

Jack: You’re saying I should forgive phyllis. How did olay top expensive creams?

Phyllis: Well, I didn’t clear a room. You’re still here.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] We both know that noah and allie didn’t have a thing to go to. They’re trying to get away from you.

Phyllis: You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Diane: You know, maybe she’s onto you. Maybe she’s picked up on the fact that you were trying to make her your bestie so she’ll go back to jack and tell him how nice you are. And then he’ll change his mind, and then he’ll have you back in his life.

Phyllis: Okay, that’s not what I’m doing.

Diane: Yes, you are. I know it, allie knows it, and jack will know it, too. You’re using his granddaughter. It’s not a good look.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Before I make a final decision about the fate of sally spectra, I’d like to hear from the other valued members of my executive team.

Nikki: I agree with your previous assessment. Newman media needs a qualified leader, someone who is used to making deals and being in the front of the pack. It is impossible to ignore that sally has zero experience leading a media entity. There’s also the adam thing. We all know he’ll be pulling her strings, even though he said he’s walking away from the company and her.

Nikki: What? They’re breaking up? Well, that’s interesting timing.

Victoria: I’d love to hear your take.

Nikki: I wouldn’t be surprised if adam is just pretending to break up with her so that we will keep her on as ceo of the media division.

Victoria: Nick said the same thing. Well, you know my thinking on the matter, and since we’re all in agreement and we’ve had total transparency, I think we need to handle this as soon as possible.

Nikki: I have a meeting with the real-estate division, so I will leave the two of you to let sally know that her services are no longer required.

Sally: It’s natural for you to be curious and looking for someone to blame. Your sister put the entire company at risk, and then your father reinstated her so fast it broke speed records. And your brother, who turned his back on the entire business, handed a job in the c-suite. They’re the ones that deserve your anger. But blaming me makes absolutely no sense because I’ve been the one that stood by you and believed in you, and that’s never changed.

Adam: Sally, you were the one who sabotaged victor’s granddaughter. Okay, you’re universally despised by his inner circle, and you nearly sabotaged the newman media launch. Okay? I made you a fixture in my life, and you’ve just become a huge liability.

Sally: Victor may hate the things that I’ve done, but the fact that I’m still here proves that he’s come to look at me differently. He’s accepted me and maybe even respects me a little.

Adam: But it’s made him stop respecting me. This isn’t about your talent, it’s not about your intellect. It’s because I chose to keep you in my life. And it’s cost me everything that I have ever wanted, okay? You’re the reason that I’m even in this position.

Sally: Why are you being so cruel?

Adam: I’m not being cruel. I’m being honest.

Sally: Do you hear yourself right now? How crazy you sound?

Adam: The really crazy thing is making the choice to be with you at all.

Adam: I should have listened to my father. I should have taken him seriously when he said you were bad news. He had a lot more concerns than I let on.

Sally: Why would you hide that from me?

Adam: I wanted to spare your feelings. And in time, he stopped letting his displeasures be known, but he found another way to get his message through loud and clear.

Sally: How?

Adam: By refusing to consider me as someone who could be the rightful heir of newman enterprises. Okay, he dangled the prize right in front of me, first by making me ceo and then installing me in the job to lure victoria back. I mean, I deluded myself into thinking that I could use those opportunities to prove that I am worthy to him. But you see, his mind, it was already made up. “Stay with this woman, and I will never respect you.”

Sally: I am not buying any of this. You don’t give a damn what your father thinks about me.

Adam: Okay. Well, I care about the consequences.

Sally: Stop acting like this.

Adam: This is who I am. Don’t you know that? Okay, billy laid out my history in graphic detail, sally. You came into this thing with your eyes wide open.

Sally: You told me you loved me. And you showed me in ways that are impossible to fake.

Adam: I’m not saying that I didn’t love you. I’M…just saying I didn’t love you enough.

Sally: You told me that I was what you always needed. And you meant it. I know you did. So how can you just stand there and pretend like you don’t care?

[ Chuckles ] Wait a second, un– unless that is why you’re doing it. Because you told me that you were gonna find a solution that works for everyone. You — you were gonna do whatever it took to keep me in that chair.

Adam: No, I said a lot of things that I didn’t mean.

Sally: If this is some insane attempt to protect me against victor and victoria, if you are distancing yourself from me so I can keep my job, I don’t want it. I don’t want it. Not like this. You mean more to me. So you can just drop this cruel and, frankly, pointless act and tell me that you are just doing all of this to protect me… and I will forgive you.

Ashley: I am the last person that would defend what phyllis did to you. And I’m sure it was very hurtful when you realized that she had cheapened the time that you had together. How’s that for dancing around the issue?

Jack: Oh, you’re a regular ginger rogers.

Ashley: Oh, good, because the point is, when you got back from L.A., I saw a light in your eye that I hadn’t seen for a long time.

Jack: Yes, I learned I had a brilliant and beautiful granddaughter.

Ashley: Big part of it, but there was something else. Are you gonna make me say it? Do I really have to say it?

Jack: What?

Ashley: [ Sighs ] I got the feeling that you were falling back in love with phyllis. And it made you happy, so it made me happy.

Jack: You’re not wrong. That’s what made her betrayal all the more painful.

Ashley: I get it. I get it. And under any other circumstances, I would agree with you 1,000%. I really would. But I think that she deserves a second chance this time.

Jack: Why are you cutting her so much slack?

Ashley: Because when it comes to fighting diane jenkins, all bets are off, and you used to know that. So my question for you is, if things were so great with you and phyllis, why did she feel that she had the need to let diane know where things stood with you?

Jack: I can’t begin to fathom what makes phyllis do what phyllis —

Ashley: That’s not true. You know how she works. Right? She acts out when she feels wronged. So what set her off?

Jack: Can we just drop this, please?

Ashley: No, we can’T. You are clearly forging a path of forgiveness for diane, for all the horrendous and horrible things that she’s done. And yet you won’t forgive phyllis for doing something out of love. I agree it was twisted, but she did it to protect her relationship with you. I think that you have a lot more complicated feelings for diane than you’re willing to admit.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: I just said hi to allie. Of course, you, of all people, would think I had ulterior motives.

Diane: If I had dug myself into a hole as deep as you had, I’d be doing anything I could to get out of it.

Phyllis: Ugh, diane, you’re not gonna provoke me. I’m not playing your game.

Diane: Oh, funny how you’re accusing me of playing games when you were the one who toyed with jack in order to make a point to me.

Phyllis: Those are fighting words.

Diane: Oh. Are you accusing me of breaking our peace treaty?

Phyllis: No, I’m not because you would never do that out in public, in front of everyone.

Diane: It’s not the case at all. I’m quite happy with our detente. I wouldn’t do anything to wreck it.

Phyllis: You know, it takes a really paranoid mind to believe that a simple conversation between two women has some nefarious plot connected to it.

Diane: Phyllis, you were trying to wheedle your way back into jack’s life and getting into his good graces by using his grandchild. I actually feel sorry for you.

Phyllis: Alright.

Diane: No, no, I’m serious. It is such a shame that you have managed to screw up a romance that is so important to you. Meanwhile, I am rebuilding my relationship with kyle and enjoying time with my grandson.

Phyllis: Oh, spare me.

Diane: You know, I accept that some people don’t believe I’ve changed.

Phyllis: Because you haven’T.

Diane: So I’m going to focus on those whose opinions matter to me. The people who are giving me a chance to prove myself, both professionally and personally. I am so looking forward to working with my son and your daughter and jack, of course, now that we’re all part of the big jabot family.

Phyllis: What’s your point?

Diane: I guess it’s that my life is in such a good place right now that the last thing I want is for things to be adversarial between the two of us.

Phyllis: Okay, you know what? I’m not buying this miraculous transformation that you’re peddling all over town.

Diane: Phyllis, you need to accept that I’m a permanent fixture here.

Phyllis: Do I?

Diane: Yeah.

Phyllis: Oh. Well, things don’t last forever, diane.

Diane: Is that a threat?

Phyllis: An observation.

Nikki: Did she say permanent fixture?

Phyllis: Yes, she did.

Nikki: Oh, god, she’s delusional.

Diane: I feel so special. Bringing together two women who despise each other.

Nikki: I’m glad that diane is becoming more confident.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. She’ll let her guard down.

Nikki: Mm.

[Sfx: Stomach gurgling]

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Adam: Forgiveness? Right, that would mean that there’s a future out there for us and I want to smooth things over so we can start again.

Sally: Why can’t we?

Adam: Because that’s not who I am, sally.

Sally: You said —

Adam: I said a lot of things, and now I’m telling you that I don’t want you in my life anymore. Okay? This is my priority. It’s reclaiming my place. Regaining my father’s respect. Hell, regaining respect for myself.

Sally: You’re not making any sense.

Adam: I hate what being with you has cost me, but even more, I hate what it’s turned me into. I’m somebody who’s griping that his daddy mistreats him, who isn’t appreciated enough or given enough. I mean, how did I expect someone, much less my father, to take me seriously? Okay, I need to get away from you, and I need to get back to regaining credibility in his eyes. And I need to get back to being the kind of man that takes what he wants, like I always have.

Sally: So suddenly, you care more about kissing up to victor than you do about me and about us?

Adam: Look, whatever momentary glee I got from rubbing you in everyone’s face, whatever pleasure that I derived from being with you, it wasn’t worth it. We’re done. Was that clear enough for you?

Sally: Everyone really was right about you… from the beginning. You are a self-serving bastard.

Adam: Well, at least you got a ceo job out of the deal. If you can hang on to it.

Sally: Go to hell.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Um, it’s done. Okay, I’m out of here. I’m out of sally’s life. I’m out of your life. But one more thing — don’t be fooled by her tough exterior. She’s having a pretty tough time accepting things are over between us. The worst mistake she could have made is getting involved with me, so I would hate to see her lose her job on top of everything. She’s a hard worker. She has a lot of fresh ideas. She’s loyal and dedicated. She deserves to be here. Give her a chance and you’ll see that.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

[ Knock on door ]

[ Exhales sharply ] Come in.

Nick: Hi, sally.

Sally: Hi.

Victoria: I hope you have a few minutes.

Sally: Yes, whatever you need. Make yourselves comfortable. Can I get you guys a drink?

Nick: Uh, no, we’re okay. Thank you.

Sally: Okay. Glad to hear it. Why waste time on niceties when I have to go wallow in the pity of my freshly broken heart?

[ Sighs ] Okay, look, I’ve done this so many times. I know it word for word. This is the part where you tell me it’s just not working, right? Because forget about what actually is working or what I can actually accomplish here, or what I am currently accomplishing. Because all you care about is playing the game, right?

Allie: So I thought of something that you are actually good at.

Noah: I’m dying to hear it.

Allie: You got me out of that conversation with phyllis. That is a very, very special skill.

Noah: Yeah. What was that all about?

Allie: She’s trying to use me, I think, as a way to get more information about the abbotts, about jack specifically. I don’t know. I think there’s some kind of drama going on between them.

Noah: With phyllis, it’s almost guaranteed.

Jack: Whatever is going on between phyllis and me has nothing to do with diane.

Ashley: You cannot possibly be that dumb. You don’t really believe that, do you? Because I don’t even spend that much time with you, and I can see that you’ve got complicated feelings for diane.

Jack: Ash —

Ashley: You do. Maybe compassion because of kyle and harrison.

Jack: I am just trying to be fair.

Ashley: But if I notice it, can you imagine how it must make phyllis feel to see you bending over backwards, being kind to somebody that she despises, that has done really horrible things to her?

Jack: I don’t know.

Ashley: It’s making her crazy because, frankly, it’s making me crazy. And I cannot imagine the impulses that phyllis is having to stifle every single day of her life.

Jack: Everything I am doing, I am doing for kyle. He is invested in trying to reestablish a relationship with his mother. And diane deserves to know her son, given how she has handled everything that’s been thrown at her since she came back to town.

Ashley: Diane is not your friend. Don’t buy her act, jack. Nothing good can come of it.

Jack: Diane is not the issue. My issue with phyllis is her penchant for self-sabotage, her inability to embrace what is good. I have given her many chances in the past. I cannot go through this again. We are better off as friends. Let’s drop this, please, now. Oh, you’ve got to have the last word. Go ahead.

Ashley: Things are never as simple as they seem with diane.

Jack: I’m going to go check on adam, see what’s going on there.

Ashley: Are you kidding me? Do you have to befriend every single pariah in town? You are way too forgiving. Except when it comes to phyllis.

Jack: Buy you a cup of coffee?

Adam: [ Sighs ] I’m not in the mood for company.

Jack: Which is exactly why I’m joining you. I know that look. I perfected that look, and I know what it means.

From prom dresses

Jack: I saw the press conference. Victoria reinstated as ceo.

Adam: Yeah. Whole family’s up there. Dad’s dream come true.

Jack: Your absence was conspicuous.

Adam: Well, hey, that’s my middle name, jack.

Jack: The press was told you were moving on to pursue other ventures. I hope that’s the case.

Adam: Let’s just say I — I get it now. I mean, all those years that you were at war with my father, I mean, he is relentless. You think he’s doing one thing, and in reality, he’s doing something completely different. And by the time you catch up, he’s just changed the rules.

Jack: Congratulations. You caught on.

Adam: Yeah. Well, you’d think he’d learn there’s only so much you can push a man past his limits before he pushes back.

Jack: Adam, this isn’t the first time your father has done something like this to you.

Adam: No. But this time is different. This time there is no going back.

Sally: You guys have been so busy swapping out nameplates in the executive suite that I’m sure you’re unaware of what I’ve actually accomplished here. But I believe that I’ve earned the right to be judged based on my own achievements, regardless of my personal relationship with adam.

Victoria: I see.

Sally: What you haven’t seen is that I have been working night and day studying, researching, and learning the history of this company and reimagining its future. I have established a clear mission statement and I am building connections that matter, and it is having an impact. Not that any of you newmans are paying attention. We are bringing in fresh, new perspectives. We are becoming more inclusive. Yes, sure, content is still king because we still have to feed the masses, but we are also prioritizing connectivity. The world is changing, and we need to be the ones that people turn to for services to help them engage and stay informed and connect with the world. Not that I have been able to apply that amount of energy to my personal life.

[ Sighs ] But I just want you guys to know that this has been one of the greatest opportunities of my life, and I’m really gonna miss the view from this office. Among other things. So honestly, if you could just get this over with, I will pack up my things and get out of your hair and we can all just go back to our day.

Nick: Can I talk to you outside for a minute?

[ Hits desk ]

Diane: Some women feel threatened when they hear people talking about them, but I kind of enjoy being the center of attention.

Nikki: Yes, we’re acutely aware of that.

Ashley: So is this a private party or can anybody join?

Diane: Hello, ashley.

Phyllis: We’re just talking about how diane is strolling around town without a care in the world.

Nikki: Savoring all those wonderful memories.

Phyllis: Gainfully employed, pretending to be a doting grandmother.

Diane: Dee dee. That’s harrison’s pet name for me.

Ashley: Until he grows up and finds out who you really are and then becomes the object of your machinations, just like kyle.

Nikki: Yes, then he’ll have all kinds of choice words for you.

Phyllis: It’s only a matter of time, diane.

Diane: Wow, you ladies are a hoot. What a fun way to pass the afternoon, but, oh, look at the time. I have a job to return to and a life. So I will give your love to summer and kyle and jack.

Nikki: Something has to be done about that woman.

Phyllis: I mean, at least the three of us can agree on that, right?

Ashley: Oh, yes, we can. Better skin from your body wash?

Noah: Best description of phyllis…

[ Sighs ] Hmm. Force of nature? Like an earthquake or forest fire. But she doesn’t understand boundaries, so if she crosses one, you got to say something.

Allie: Okay. Got it.

Noah: On the other hand, I think she has a good heart and she means well and she would move mountains for the ones she loves, like summer.

Allie: She seems so different from summer.

Noah: That’s ’cause summer takes after my dad. He is the steady presence in the middle of the hurricane. He balances everything out.

Allie: Then maybe it’s time for you to have that honest conversation with him. Hey, tell him how you feel about stepping away from new hope. Hey. It’s not gonna be easy. And I know you’re gonna feel like you’re letting him down. But remember, nick is a good dad and good dads want more than anything for their kids to be happy. Trust me, I know from experience.

Noah: Thank you, allie, for saying that, for a great day at the pool. For everything.

Phyllis: Will someone please explain to me why this woman gets a do-over? I don’t get it.

Ashley: I am not giving her a free pass.

Phyllis: But everybody in town seems to be doing that. I mean, not just kyle, but michael, too.

Ashley: And jack.

Nikki: Yeah, even jack.

Phyllis: Jack. Yes, he is. You know, jack just said that he would go along with whatever kyle decided.

Ashley: Diane is capitalizing on that. She’s playing it perfectly.

Phyllis: Yeah, and she’s using kyle again to get to jack, just like she did when he was little.

Nikki: Because this is what she does.

Ashley: She framed you for arson.

Phyllis: Well, she slept with your fiancé, right? And she blackmailed you.

Nikki: She left me to be blamed for her murder. I win. Now, something has to be done about her.

Ashley: You know what? It would be a public service.

Phyllis: Could we do something? I mean, the three of us?

Nikki: Why not?

Phyllis: Well, I mean, we can’t stand to be in the same room with each other.

Nikki: Ah, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Ashley: Right. I mean, at least temporarily.

Nikki: If we all pooled our talents…

Ashley: Maybe we can get diane out of our lives.

Phyllis: Yeah. Forever this time.

Nick: You got to admit, what sally said in there was extremely impressive.

Victoria: She was scrambling to keep her job.

Nick: When people’s backs are against the wall, you’ll find out what means most of them, what they’re made of, and how far they’re willing to go to keep what’s important. That job means everything to her.

Victoria: But does she have what it takes?

Nick: I think she does. She has a clear plan, one she’s ready to start implementing. No matter how you feel about her, she’s got good ideas, and her vision for newman media is exactly what we’re looking for. You do realize that, right?

Sally: [ Exhales sharply ]

[ Exhales sharply ]

Jack: This is what I’m worried about, adam. You’re hurt and you want to lash out. Do not give over to your worst impulses. That is exactly what victor is expecting of you.

Adam: Oh, I’m well aware of that. It would be pointless for me to go after my father. I am the last person that he needs to worry about.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I just assumed this was about work. This is medical? I didn’t even know you were on an O.B. Rotation. This isn’t an O.B. Visit. Okay. Then what? After you fainted, I ran a series of tests. I remember. That’s how we figured out I was pregnant. Yes. Yes. Um… but we have to go over the rest of the results. You have an elevated white blood cell count. That’s it?

[ Sighs ] Oh. I know from nurses’ training that it’s normal to have an elevated white blood cell count during pregnancy. And that’s true. Willow, from what I see, I don’t — I don’t think this is related to your pregnancy. Wait, you think I’m sick while I’m pregnant? Come on, michael, what’s the matter with you? Rocco hits harder than that. What, are you having a baby? You’re taking it easy on me? Oh, man, no, you couldn’t be more wrong. Alright. I mean, willow’s good news is making me feel like I could take on the world. Yeah? Even losing out on the elq merger with aurora feels way more manageable now. Face it, your brother is one happy guy. Come on, then! Let’s see you, happy guy. Let’s see what you got. Come on.

[ Sighs ] Damn, I’ll have what he’s having.

[ Laughs ] Hey.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Oh, I know, I know, I’m early, but I figured if we hurry, we have time to get a drink at charlie’s before we head on over to the haunted star. Uh, right. Uh, I’m sorry. I should have called you, but the day got away from me, I still have one more appointment.

[ Sighs ] That’s okay. I guess we can start drinking when we get to the haunted star. Now, go tell your patient to take two aspirin and call you in the morning. Yeah [Sighs] That’s the thing. I can’t join you tonight. Something’s come up. You forget we had plans? Not exactly. Did you double-book yourself? Sort of. And it’s not work-related? Oh, my god. [ Laughs ] Britt, do you have a date?

[ Sighs ] Even if I could guarantee that trina goes free, why in the world would I? Trina, joss, and cam have been badmouthing me all across town. Why would I do them any favors? Because if you ever want to know who your birth mother is, you will make sure that the judge knows the truth. You are the only person who can do that. I know that trina was in her own bedroom the entire time before cam and I went to our bedroom. Can you prove that? Were there security cameras all over the cabin? I mean, the cabin belongs to your former stepfather, sonny corinthos. I can see that as a real possibility. There are no security cameras inside of the cabin. Which means what, exactly? Which means I do not have proof that trina did not leave her bedroom.

Let’s be clear, ms. Jacks — you cannot account for the defendant’s movements from the moment that she went into her room to the moment that you and mr. Webber went into yours. Because of that, won’t you concede that there was plenty of time for your so-called friend, trina robinson, who has already been established to have been filled with jealousy and resentment, to make sure that the phone was set up to record your most intimate moments without your knowing? Objection, your honor. This is pure conjecture on the ada’s part. Judge young: Sustained. Watch your step, counselor. No more questions, your honor. Tj: I was there. The first time you fainted at G.H., That was months before you became pregnant, and that’s what prompted me to run this battery of tests, just to be on the safe side. So you think there’s a chance that something’s wrong with me? All I’m saying is that we need more information. I know you just finished nursing school, so you’ve been under a lot of pressure. We might be able to chalk this up to anxiety or stress, but there’s also the chance that there’s another medical explanation. We have to explore all possibilities. Obviously, you think there’s a good chance that something’s wrong with me, so, dr. Ashford, what aren’t you telling me? Uh, let me introduce you to cody. Hey. This is michael. Yeah, hey. Michael’s the one who gave me the tour of the quartermaine stables. Oh. Made me feel right at home. You know, it’s funny you call yourself a mere stable hand, because to leo, man, you’re already a legend.

[ Laughs ] Yeah, leo’s a great kid. He’s positively fearless, with that horse of his. Yeah. Unlike, um, some people that I know.

[ Laughs ] Oh, you talking about me?

[ Laughing ] Yeah. You talking about me? I was a city kid, man. I did great. Yeah, that was obvious. I did great. I don’t feel bad. Alright, well, that’s enough for me. You guys can stay and beat each other’s brains in if you want. I gotta meet willow at G.H. And in case you can’t tell by the big grin on my face, willow and I are having a baby. Really? Oh, man! Dude, that’s great news, michael. Congrats. Oh, thank you. Give my best to willow. Yeah, will do, will do. I just — I gotta get in the showers. If I’m late, I’m gonna catch a hard time. Really? Willow seemed like such a sweetheart to me. Oh, yeah, no, I wasn’t talking about getting in trouble with willow, I was talking about her O.B. — Britt westbourne. Huh? No kidding. Small world. Wait, you — you know her? Brad: Normally, I’d be upset about being blown off, but since you are practically on the verge of spinsterhood, I’m going to give you a pass this time. Well, I’d love to argue your characterization of my love life… except you’re spot on. Alright. Some friendly advice — all you need to be is the charming and vivacious woman I know you can be. Thank you for the pep talk. I feel so much better about my date tonight.

[ Chuckles ] If you’re not excited about this date, then why are you doing it? I mean, are you just jumping back into the dating pool because you’re looking for love or are you just tired of holding on to all your secrets? What does that mean? Whatever has been weighing on you — that thing you can’t tell me about — well, maybe it’s past time you did. I would like to remind the court of the difference between a sex tape and the crime of revenge porn. A sex tape is made with consent. Revenge porn is made without consent. Ms. Jacks, did either you or mr. Webber ever consent to being recorded? No. Neither one of us knew anything about the video. Not until it popped up on screens at pcu. And yet, despite the prosecution’s best efforts to put words in your mouth, you claim that you know that your best friend, trina robinson, could never have done this. I know she couldn’T. Ada arden: Objection, your honor. To use ms. Miller’s very own words, it’s pure conjecture on the witness’s part. No, it’s not conjecture, because I know exactly the type of person that trina robinson is. I have known her since middle school.

[ Voice breaking ] She is my best friend in the entire world. She is there for me on my good days. More importantly, she’s there for me on my bad days. She knows what’s right from wrong. And I know exactly the type of friend that trina robinson is.

[ Crying ] She is the type of friend to stick by you when everybody else turns and runs. So knowing your best friend, can you ever imagine that trina robinson would go to such extreme lengths to humiliate you and cameron? Never.

[ Scoffs ] I don’t even know how she would get a black market phone, let alone use it against us. How do you know it was a black market phone? I don’T. All I know is a second phone with the revenge porn on it was found in trina’s purse, identical to trina’s real phone — same model, same case. But it’s your belief — it’s your conviction that’s someone, anyone, could have purchased that other phone? No, not anyone. One person did this, and I know exactly who that person is. Once trina recorded joss and cam having sex for the first time, which is just mind-bogglingly horrific, she made it go global. Those are facts, spence. All the evidence says so. I agree with you… that the evidence is stacked against trina, but there’s just one catch, esme. And what is that? We both know that trina didn’t record that revenge porn or distribute it. Because you did.

Robinson did not makethat revenge porn, who did? It’s esme prince. When esme’s boyfriend, spencer cassadine, wanted to break up his father’s marriage to ava, he began to stalk ava, and he asked for esme’s help. Esme lit ava’s car on fire and left the hospital id badge of her dead daughter, kiki, beside the car. Now, that seems like the kind of demented mind that would make revenge porn, don’t you think? Objection, your honor. I’m aware that spencer cassadine was convicted of stalking his stepmother, but his girlfriend, esme prince, was never charged with anything. Can the witness provide any shred of proof to back up this libelous claim? The objection is sustained. No more speculation, ms. Miller. We just want facts. Absolutely. Your honor, I just have a few more questions. Ms. Jacks, what was your gpa your freshman year at college? A 4.0. 4.0. Congratulations. And who was your dorm roommate that year? Trina robinson. Trina robinson. And will she be your dorm roommate your sophomore year? Absolutely. Thank you very much. I have no further questions. You may step down.

[ Mouthing words ] Hey, I’m not keeping you in the dark about anything, okay? There are questions that need to be answered, that’s why I put you on the books for another series of tests tomorrow. Just to be clear, um, this doesn’t concern the baby? This is about my health, correct? Correct. Your issue, if there is one, seems to predate the pregnancy. It’s likely the two situations aren’t related. Now, you have an appointment with dr. Westbourne later, right? Keep that. Whatever it is, we will deal with it. You might say that dr. Westbourne and i ran into each other the other day. What cody means is he parachuted onto the metro court pool and landed on britt, and they both went into the water. No way, that — that was you? That was all over social media. Yeah, all right. To be fair, she was standing in my landing zone. Skydiver, stable hand — anything you can’t do? Oh, plenty. Um… pay a mortgage, ride sidesaddle blindfolded, make babies. Never been able to achieve any of those things. So you don’t let me keep you from that appointment. Alright. Hey, um, good luck. Say hi to willow, and I’m sure mom and baby are going to be fine. Thank you. Your brother seems like a nice guy. Yeah. He’s the best. Oh, the best? Yeah. Then what am I, chopped liver? No, you’re the guy who’s dogging britt westbourne after I told him not to.

[ Laughing ] Come on, brad. All I want is to give this matchmaking thing a chance, if for no other reason than to get my mother off my back. Alright. Fair enough. So is your date someone I know? Someone I don’t know? Is he hot? He’s, um, rough around the edges. On the right person, that could be hot. Is he hot? He doesn’t seem to be trustworthy. Okay. Not to be redundant, but that could be hot on the right person, too. Okay, fine. [ Laughs ] Brad. Yes. He’s hot in a rough, rustic, scruffy way. He bruises well, by which I mean he’s one of those guys who actually looks good beaten up. Weird. And then there’s the fact that we have nothing in common and we don’t even like each other.

[ Laughs ] How do you know that if you haven’t even met… o-m-G. It’s him, isn’t it? It’s parachute guy. Commissioner ashford, can you tell us how this illicit video came to the attention of the pcpd? We received a report from pcu, where the video was first distributed. Then in the course of our investigation, our office got an anonymous tip on our hotline to the alleged perpetrator’s identity. By perpetrator, you’re referring to the defendant, trina robinson, correct? Yes. And what happened when you brought her in for questioning? Trina agreed without hesitation and never asked for legal representation. She said she would do anything to help find the person who had humiliated her closest friends, josslyn jacks and cameron webber. But what did you find in her possession? She had two cellphones in her purse, one that was hers and one that was nearly identical, that she couldn’t account for. This is the unaccounted-for cellphone and this is the forensics report about this phone. Can you please tell us what it says? The digital footprint confirms that this cellphone was used to upload and send the video, also known as the revenge porn, to the pcu community. Anything else? After that final usage, this phone was never turned on again. Is there anything else that ties that phone directly to the defendant? Ms. Robinson’s credit card information was encrypted and used to purchase images by the artist richard molineaux. Oh. In other words, according to your own forensics department, the only person tied to that revenge porn video is the defendant, trina robinson. The evidence seems to suggest that, yes. Spencer: At first, I didn’t want to believe it. There was a time when I had deeper feelings for you than I ever knew were possible. And when I brought you home to port charles — oh, you mean when you asked me to help you in your plot to destroy your father’s marriage? And when you agreed, you raised the stakes by a thousand. I never asked you to torch ava’s car, and I certainly never would have suggested that you put her dead daughter’s hospital id beside it. That is just so incredibly cruel. But that’s who you really are, isn’t it? Cruel. Joss warned me about you. Trina warned me about you. Hell, even cameron, who gave you the benefit of the doubt, went out of his way to warn me that you were dangerous, and even still, I wanted to believe in you, esme. But then… [ Laughs ] Go on. When that video of josslyn and cameron came out, you couldn’t wait to show it to me. You pretended to be horrified, but I could see it written all over your face how happy you were. And then you insisted that it had to be trina who made it. That’s when I started to wonder and waver. And then when I decided to voice my fears that maybe, just maybe, you were the one behind the revenge porn, you instantly came up with a-a pregnancy scare? You think I made it up? Not then. No, esme. I still wanted to believe in you. But when trina was arrested, I just couldn’t look the other way anymore. Everything that josslyn had been saying and trina had done her best not to say, it was all true. You are the one who made that video, and you are the one who distributed it to the world. It was you all along!

Oh, there you are. I was — I was starting to wonder if I had the wrong time for your O.B. Appointment.

[ Sighs ] Willow, you okay? Go on, say it. You think I’m making a fool of myself by going out with the bum who parachuted into my life and couldn’t even apologize for almost drowning me? Honestly, britt, I’m happy for you. No, seriously. Y-you’re a smart woman. If you decided to give parachute guy a second chance, then good for you. Thank you for saying that. Though I’m sure we both know this is probably going to end in disaster. Sure seems like it. Okay, so, I have to ask again — why are you even doing it? You’re supposed to say “it’s going to be great.” But right now, I am late to see a patient.

[ Sighs ] Okay, man, you fess up now. I saw you all over britt westbourne on the fourth. Yeah.

[ Sighs ] What’s going on with that, man? Uh. How could you tell, man?

[ Laughs ] Please. I warned you away from britt and the first thing you do, your interest level goes through the roof. It’s classic. Yeah. So about your warning regarding britt… yeah. What about it? Well, given how you feel about her, my guess is you’re not going to feel too good if she and I go on a date. You’re right, spence. When I first met you, you were an angry, lost, self-centered little boy. And thanks to me, you not only lost your virginity, but you turned out to be an angry, lost, self-centered man. I cannot believe after everything I’ve done for you, standing by your side when even your own father turned his back on you, that this is how you repay me. Spence: All you ever did was work your own agenda. No, enough! You have had your say. Now it is my turn. If you think you can just go riding back to trina, oh, you are an even bigger fool than I thought, spence. You are even sadder and more pathetic than when I first met you. We were together at that cabin, remember? I couldn’t have planted that phone, even if I wanted to, because when I had enough of josslyn’s holier-than-thou attitude, we left together. Your precious, sweet trina could have planted that phone and did. There is simply no way you can get around that. Of course there is. So an anonymous tip claimed that trina robinson filmed and distributed the revenge porn. Now, is there any way to identify the source of that anonymous tip? No. If people thought their identities could be made public, we wouldn’t get the number of tips we get. That’s why it’s anonymous. Of course. So anyone could leave a false tip and suffer no repercussions whatsoever? Yes. Alright. So how did trina behave when you hauled her into the pcpd for questioning? There was no hauling her in. She came in voluntarily. Voluntarily? Well, that’s interesting. Now, you’ve already testified that that she asked for no counsel to be present, but when you began to question her, was she defensive? No, she was very cooperative. She kept repeating that josslyn jacks and cameron webber are her very close friends, and she wanted to do whatever was possible to catch the person responsible for the revenge porn. Maybe it was because her dad had been a police officer, but she was very eager to help and do the right thing. Okay. So when you opened her bag and found the other phone — I didn’t open her purse, trina did. I’m sorry, you’re saying that trina herself opened her bag and produced the other phone? Yes, that’s correct. In all of your many years of public service as a police commissioner, in your experience, is that the way a guilty person behaves? Objection, your honor. We’re not doing a composite sketch of a generic criminal. Actually, I’d like to answer that question because I do think it’s relevant. You may answer the question. Trina did not act anything at all like a guilty person. As I said, her main goal was to be helpful. Thank you. No further questions. Judge young: You may step down. I’d like to call my next witness, officer rory cabrera.

There’s nothing wrong with me, michael, I’m just nervous about our first consultation with the O.B. Congratulations to you both. And from the way you’re both smiling, I take it this is welcome news. Uh, we weren’t trying to get pregnant, but yes, this is very exciting news. We cannot wait to welcome the newest member of our family. Well, in that case, I ask the expectant father to wait here while I do a brief exam. I promise you, willow, it won’t take long. And I hope to give you both a very pleasant surprise. I should have known better, man. Warning you to steer clear of britt, that’s like catnip to you. You couldn’t help yourself. That’s like the forbidden fruit. Cody: [ Laughs ] It’s just one date, man. Yeah. What’s the big deal? I mean, she’s co-chief of staff of the hospital. She can’t be that bad. You remember when the counselors took us hiking up, uh, olson’s peak? Yeah, of course I do. You remember that? As I recall, you were always just a few steps behind me. Well, I don’t know about that, but I do know that there was a sign with big red letters that said, “do not veer off of paths.” Oh, jeez, yeah. And what’d you do? You veered us off the path. We almost got mauled by a bear.

[ Laughs ] I’ve never seen you run so fast before. Oh, man. Come on, man. Lighten up. If there isn’t any danger, there isn’t any fun. At least ava tried to buy me off. All you can do is try and bluff me. The truth is, I thought to myself, how can I twist esme’s arm? And then it hit me — well, what would esme do? For weeks, you’d been pretending to sympathize with joss because she and cameron hadn’t slept together yet. You even made a major production of insisting that they get the master bedroom at the cabin. And when we got back from skiing, before you came in with the drinks, you were the only person not in the living room. Cam, joss, trina, and I, we were all there. But you were off by yourself, and I figure that would have given you plenty of time to go into the master bedroom and set up that black market phone. That is a clever theory, spence. But you don’t have any proof. Oh, I’m not done. Because when we got back in town, I realized that I’d forgotten something, and that gave you the very convenient excuse of going back up to the cabin to pick up what I’d forgotten, as well as retrieve the phone that you’d recorded on. Once you had it, you sent the video to the pcu servers, planted the phone in trina’s purse. Okay, agatha christie. How could I have known that trina wouldn’t handle her booze well and she would go to her room? Are you accusing me of being a psychic now, too? What do we have here? No. No, not psychic, esme. You’re psycho, for sure. I don’t think you’re psychic. The reason that you knew that trina was going to pass out is because you spiked her hot toddy with those pills of yours — the ones that I found in your closet. I showed them to britt westbourne and she told me what would happen when they’re mixed with alcohol. You drugged trina to set her up. And britt told me that if the dosage had been off even by little, you could have really injured trina, maybe even killed her. Do you still think I’m bluffing? Officer cabrera, while you were on duty, were you recently called in to investigate a disturbance at a notorious biker bar, the highsider? Yes, that’s correct. It was a fairly routine complaint. A fight had broken out. Mm-hmm. And, uh, what did you find when you got there? I’m not sure I understand your question. There was a bar fight. I arrived after another unit had broken it up. Your honor, I’m submitting an eyewitness statement from another member of the pcpd who reported two underage girls that were caught up in this brawl. Tell me, officer cabrera, are those two underage girls in this courtroom? Your honor, I object. What does any of this have to do with the charges against my client? When officer cabrera answers the question, the connection will be obvious. I’ll allow it. And I’ll repeat the question. Officer cabrera, are those two underage girls in this courtroom today? Yes, they are. Can you state their names, please? Josslyn jacks and trina robinson. Thank you, officer cabrera. But there’s an even more important question that I need you to answer. Why were ms. Jacks and ms. Robinson in the bar that night?

[ Laughs ] Willow is a bit on the early side, but I think there’s a good chance we can detect a fetal heartbeat. Would you hold my hand?

[ Chuckles ] Of course. Alright.

[ Heartbeat ] That’s the baby’s heartbeat? That sure is.

[ Laughs ] Wow. Uh, you had me worried before, but listen to that heartbeat.

[ Laughs ] Strong and steady. Everything’s okay now. Why wouldn’t I date britt? She’s beautiful. She’s successful. She scraped me up in an alley and gave me a ride to your place. Why can’t you just be happy for me? I am happy for you, man, I’m just looking out for you because it’s something you seem to be incapable of doing for yourself. Oh, so I’m a charity case? Yeah, kind of. No, look, man, I’m your friend, okay? I gave you a couch. I kept you out of jail. My mom hooked you up with a job at the quartermaine stables. I mean, what does that say? That you put in a good word for me. That’s right. And I didn’t do it out of charity. Okay? I did it ’cause we’re friends. Even though we hadn’t seen each other in a long time, the minute — the minute I saw you falling out of the sky, man, I knew you hadn’t changed a bit. Yeah, well, you have, man. I don’t know. Maybe it’s ’cause you’re a dad. Maybe it’s the badge, but you’re a lot different than the kid from bensonhurst I used to know. Well, yeah. Yeah, I am. I grew up, man. Maybe you should try it sometime. You set up an innocent woman to potentially go to prison. Not to mention what you did to joss and cam with the sex tape. I’ll give you this much, esme — you were thorough in your revenge. You found a way to take them all down. You think you’ve got it all worked out, do you? Uh-huh. So what do you expect me to do? Just walk into that courtroom and trade places with trina? No, I don’t expect you to do that, because doing that would require a conscience, something that you clearly do not have. But if you were smart enough to frame trina, then you are smart enough to clear her without incriminating yourself. She really means that much to you? Well, I think that the more pertinent question is how much does your mother mean to you? Oh, my god, you ass! After all of the lies you’ve told, do you really expect me to believe that you found a match for my dna? I have the evidence, esme. It’s right here. You can look for yourself. I can tell you the name. Or you can walk out that door and you can let trina take the fall. It’s up to you. So what is more important to you? Ruining trina’s life or finding your mother? Rory: Mr. Robinson and ms. Jacks were carrying fake ids. I confiscated them and let them off with a stern warning to never try that again. Ada arden: Very understanding of you, officer. But were they only in that bar that night to drink alcohol as minors? I’m not sure what you mean. That document is a rap sheet for a bartender, oz haggerty, who was working at that same bar. Officer cabrera, can you read off the crimes that that bartender was arrested for? Petty theft. And he had a prior for trafficking in stolen electronics. Could you be more specific? What kind of electronics? Mostly black market cellphones. He sells black market cellphones, the kind that trina robinson’s best friend, josslyn jacks, according to her testimony, the defendant would never know how to buy.

Hey, willow. Are you okay? Am I okay? We just heard our baby’s heartbeat.

[ Laughs ] I have never been better or happier. Got your text. By the way, thanks for referring a new patient to me. Willow’s pregnancy is progressing nicely. We just heard the baby’s heartbeat. That’s great to hear, but I — I need you to keep me in the loop about willow. Why? Can we go to your office and I’ll fill you in? Okay, yeah, I don’t have a kid or steady career, but I’m growing up in my own way. Believe it or not, I’m actually already making plans for my future.

[ Laughs ] By being a stable boy? Come on, man. It’s got “boy” in the title. Mm-hmm. Make as many jokes as you want. I’m going to prove you wrong about a lot of things. Oh, yeah? Including britt westbourne? The matchmaker herself matched us up. The matchmaker matched you up, huh? Mm-hmm. Alright, well, here’s hoping that match doesn’t turn into a dumpster fire. But hey, if it does, remember your old pal tried to warn you otherwise.

[ Door closes ] You’re doing all of this

[Laughing] Because you think that you can win trina over? I clear her name and she’s all yours? Oh. Who is delusional now, spence? Even if trina did have feelings for you, she has moved on. Or have you’re not seen her with the hot rookie cop? Damn it, esme! Is that your final answer? No. You’ve given me a lot to think about. Well, don’t take too long, because I’m not going to leave this deal on the table indefinitely. As a reminder, I am not the one on trial. And as for you, if I hear that you tried to play the hero and go to trina with this conversation, you will never, ever get what you want. Neither will you. If it comes to choosing finding out who my mother is or hurting you the way that you have hurt me, don’t be so sure you’ll know what I’ll choose.

[ Door slams ] Officer cabrera, I just have a few questions for you. When you confiscated josslyn jacks’ and trina robinson’s fake ids inside the highsider, did you ask them why they were there? Yes. And what did they tell you? They were looking for the bartender who sold esme prince a black market phone. Okay, so is this kind of a referral deal? Esme prince got a groovy phone off this guy. They wanted one, too. Objection, your honor. Counsel is leading the witness. I’ll allow it, but get where you’re going, ms. Miller. Bottom line, were trina robinson and josslyn jacks in the highsider to purchase a black market phone? No. No. They were looking for the bartender, oz haggerty, to id esme prince. Ah. And did he? Objection, your honor. Hearsay. Officer cabrera was not present when ms. Jacks and the defendant allegedly spoke to mr. Haggerty. The officer has no idea what was said, if anything. Sustained. I have no further questions. Thank you. I’ll call for an adjournment.

[ Gavel bangs ] Bailiff: All rise. Well, I think there’s reasonable doubt, for sure.

[ Sighs ] I just hate the way the ada twisted my words. I don’t blame you, joss. I know you just tried to help me. Trina, honey, just — just hang in there, okay?

Xander: Why not? I mean, if kristen hadn’t shipped you off to that godforsaken island, we’d have celebrated our first anniversary by now. I don’t see any reason to wait. Unless you’ve changed your mind?

Sarah: No, no. No, I can’t wait to marry you. But, like–but don’t you want a wedding with all of your family and friends?

Xander: [Snorts] Those are few and far between for me, I’m afraid. My best–my only mate just reminded me there’s no guarantees in this life. You have to seize the day.

[Chuckles]

Xander: [Sighs] The only thing–the only person I need for a real wedding is my bride, the woman I love with all my heart and soul. So, sarah horton…

Sarah: Mm-hmm?

Xander: Will you marry me, today?

Sarah: [Laughing] Yes!

Xander: [Sighs]

Sarah: Now you can put that ring back on my finger.

Gwen: [Groans] Great. Maybe I should phone up “law & order: Special library unit” to find out the case of the missing bloody pages.

Roy: Rizczech.

Gwen: Roy. What’s up?

Roy: Brought you some company. Meet your new cell mate.

[Dramatic music]

Nancy: [Chuckles] Well, if it isn’t my least favorite…weasel. Hmm, have you heard the news?

Leo: You’re leaving town to join the circus? I always thought you’d make a great lion tamer.

Nancy: [Chuckles] You think you’re so damn funny, don’t you?

Leo: Ugh, what is your news? I don’t have time for schmoozing.

Nancy: Just forget about it. It’s all about my fella, and what’s it to you anyway?

Leo: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Your fella? Clyde weston?

Nancy: Yes. He was exonerated. He has an airtight alibi for the night that abigail was killed.

Leo: Whoa. Color me shocked.

Nancy: I told you all along that he was innocent. The only thing that he’s guilty of is, well, buying a piece of stolen jewelry. The person that he bought it from, that’s the real killer.

Marlena: I want to take you back to june 10th. Do you know where you were?

Lucas: I’m at the pub.

Marlena: Are you alone?

Lucas: No, my mom’s here with me. She just told me that abigail knows the truth. She knows that I’m the one who kidnapped sami.

Marlena: Okay. Tell me what happened next.

Lucas: I’m freaking out. I know that if abigail writes about it, if she–if she tells anybody, if she tells ej, that that’s it for me.

[Breathes shakily] My mom’s trying to tell me that abigail isn’t gonna say anything, but I– I don’t believe her.

Marlena: And then what?

Lucas: She–she left. And I, uh… I’m going around the bar. I’m grabbing a bottle of liquor.

Marlena: What happened next?

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

[Soft orchestration]

Gwen: You’re my new cellmate?

Kristen: Disappointed?

Gwen: Bit surprised. I mean, how does a mastermind criminal like kristen dimera end up here?

Kristen: [Chuckles] By choice.

Gwen: So in other words, you mean the authorities have finally caught up to you, then?

Kristen: Oh, please. I could have outrun those morons for the rest of my life. But I missed my little girl. I couldn’t bear the thought of never seeing her again.

Gwen: Well, that is just bloody fantastic. Not only am I stuck behind bars, but now I have to bunk with the woman who destroyed my relationship with the love of my life.

Xander: About your ring…

Sarah: You still have it, right? Kristen gave it back to you when she was pretending to be me and called off the wedding.

Xander: She did. But, um…

Sarah: But what?

Xander: I’m no longer in possession of it.

Sarah: Did you throw it away when you thought that I broke your heart?

Xander: Of course not. I wouldn’t do that with something as important as your engagement ring.

Sarah: Oh, thank god.

Xander: No, I sold it.

Sarah: What?

Xander: There was something I really needed to buy.

Sarah: What?

Xander: This.

Sarah: Oh, it’s beautiful. It’s–it’s very different than the other one. Is that the idea behind it? Was it, you just wanted to get me something new? A fresh start?

Xander: I, um– I didn’t buy this ring for you.

Sarah: Mm. Who’d you buy it for?

Xander: Gwen.

Gwen: You sold my ring to buy one for gwen?

Xander: [Sighs] Sarah, you have to understand. At the time, I thought there was no hope for us. I had no idea you were trapped on that island. I thought you’d run off with rex and wanted nothing more to do with me.

Sarah: Mm, and that was before I’d been given a second dose of a mind-altering drug by the woman you were about to marry.

Xander: I’m so sorry, sarah. Look, if I had known what gwen was capable of, the lengths she was gonna go to, I never would have bought this ring.

Sarah: I know. And obviously, I understand why gwen was so desperate to hold on to you. I just wish she would have chosen to do something a little less extreme, like challenge me to a cage fight or a duel or something.

Xander: She put your life in danger with that drug. I’ll–I’ll never forgive her.

Sarah: Then how about we forget her? Hmm? My meds are working. I mean, it’s probable that the hallucinations have just stopped, so–

Xander: I hope so. I know how terrifying they’ve been for you, looking at someone and seeing kristen dimera instead.

Sarah: And wanting to kill them. Xander, I’m– I’m so lucky that there was always a third person there to talk me down. I could’ve really hurt someone.

Kristen: Don’t blame all of this on me.

[Chuckles] You wouldn’t even be with xander if I hadn’t shipped sarah off to that island.

Gwen: Oh. Oh, kristen, darling, I’m so very grateful to you. I mean, look around here. I’m living the dream, thanks to you.

Kristen: Well, I can’t help it if you’re not smart enough to stay out of this joint.

Gwen: Excuse me, I am the one who helped keep you out of prison. You blackmailed me into helping you escape. You said if I didn’t, you would tell xander the truth.

Kristen: And when xander started looking into sarah’s disappearance, I’m the one who gave you the mask.

Gwen: So that I could pose as sarah and go to him and tell him to leave her alone and go back to me, which I did.

Kristen: And did he buy it?

Gwen: Yes, but–

Kristen: But nothing.

[Chuckles] Oh, my god. I gave you everything you needed to walk down that aisle with that stupid ape, and abigail is the one who got in your way. So if you want to blame someone for destroying your relationship, blame your little sister.

Leo: The cops already have someone in custody for abigail’s murder.

Nancy: Already? Who? Lucas horton?

Leo: Mm-hmm.

Nancy: That’s impossible. He’s abigail’s uncle. He loved her.

Leo: I assume he loved his fiancée too, and yet he’s accused of kidnapping her. Sounds like herr horton was on quite a crime spree.

Nancy: This isn’t possible. I’ve known lucas for years. He’s–he’s incapable of murder. It must be the brain tumor.

Leo: He has a brain tumor? The article didn’t mention that.

Nancy: Oh, that’s right. He made it up.

Leo: He lied about having a terminal illness? Even I’ve never sunk that low. Well, I don’t know if he’s lost his marbles or what, but he sure sounds guilty to me.

Nancy: No, lucas has done some terrible things in his life, but he would never have killed abigail. The police are barking up the wrong tree. Psoriatic arthritis,

Clyde: Man, I could lose everything, thanks to you. My job, my girl, my freedom. But I’m gonna get me some payback when I sue you and the rest of the keystone cops for false arrest.

Jada: You could sue, but you’d lose.?

Jada: I’m sure commissioner hernandez explained that he had every right to bring you in. You’d been in possession of stolen property which was linked to a murder.

Clyde: Young lady, I was wronged by the cops, and I’m gonna hold ’em accountable.

Jada: Fine, bring your suit. But just know that if you do, what you did to ej dimera will most likely get dragged into this.

Clyde: How do you know about that?

Jada: Admittedly, it’s his word against yours, but a good prosecutor could really build a strong case against you. And from what I hear, melinda trask is desperate for a win and will do anything to get it. So instead of borrowing trouble, why don’t you back off?

Clyde: Who the hell are you?

Jada: Jada hunter. Pleasure to meet you, mr. Weston.

Clyde: I’m gonna take my break.

Rafe: I have to admit, that was very impressive.

Jada: Does that mean I’m hired?

Sarah: So what are you gonna do with that ring? Do not say give it to me.

Xander: Of course not. I’m gonna trade it in. I bought this at the same pawn shop that I sold yours, so I can just do a simple swap, and then we can get married.

Sarah: Do you think they still have my ring?

Xander: I’m very optimistic.

Sarah: Hmm, okay. Well, then all we need is someone to officiate.

Xander: Your mum can do it.

Sarah: My mother?

Xander: She got ordained online. Yeah, last fall, she married justin and bonnie.

Sarah: Oh, I bet victor loved that.

Xander: Actually, I heard he behaved himself and they had a lovely ceremony. In fact, there’s a rumor going around that bonnie and vic are getting on rather well. And if that’s possible, then pulling off our wedding should be a piece of cake.

Sarah: So we’re really doing this.

Xander: We are really doing this.

Sarah: [Squeals]

Xander: [Chuckles]

Gwen: You want me to blame abigail for my troubles?

Kristen: Well, I guess you can’t blame her that much since she’s dead, but don’t take your frustration out on me.

Gwen: Doesn’t really leave too many people to take them out on, does it? Why are you looking at me like that?

Kristen: Well… it just occurred to me that your sister was viciously murdered, stabbed repeatedly in her own bed. Clearly whoever did that was filled with rage.

Gwen: Or maybe it was a robbery, and abigail was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Kristen: [Chuckles] No, I don’t think so. Mm-mm. See, I think this was personal. See, whoever came at abigail with that knife hated her with a passion. Like you, gwen. See, you despised your sister for exposing you right before you were about to marry the love of your life. You came so close, and she took it all away.

Gwen: So I’m your prime suspect then, am I?

Kristen: Mm.

Gwen: You know what? I think you’ve been reading too many of these.

Kristen: Are you saying that you didn’t have a motive?

Gwen: I had motive, yes. But you see, there’s a tiny little problem there with your theory. I couldn’t have killed abigail. You know why? ‘Cause I was locked up in here.

Kristen: Mm.

Marlena: Lucas, you took a bottle of liquor from behind the bar at the pub. Did you–did you stay there and drink it?

Lucas: No. No, I went to the park.

[Groans] I was beyond upset. I knew if abigail told anyone what I had done, I’d lose sami. I’d lose everything. I just–I just wanted to forget, so I kept drinking. But then…

[Grunts] I left.

Marlena: Where did you go when you left the park?

Lucas: Abigail. Abigail, it’s your uncle lucas. I need to talk to you now.

[Breathing heavily] Oh, my god. Oh, my god, I was there. I went to see abigail.

Nancy: Clyde?

Clyde: Oh, nancy.

Nancy: Clyde… I heard you were released.

Clyde: Yeah. Good to be out. Even better to see you.

Nancy: Mm. I’m glad. So I hear you have an airtight alibi?

[Both sigh] The security footage from the dock.

Clyde: Yeah. Kind of glad big brother caught me fishing.

Nancy: Well, like I said, I’m glad for you. I mean, I know you’ve done some questionable things, but, clyde, I knew there was no way you could have killed that innocent young woman in cold blood.

Clyde: That’s one crime I swear to you I did not commit.

[Sighs] But I have to admit, not all my misdeeds are in the past.

Nancy: What do you mean?

Clyde: I owe you an apology. It was dead wrong of me to give you that stolen bracelet.

Leo: Hey!

Xander: Watch it.

Leo: Oh. [Gasps] My, my, what do we have here?

[Gasps] Xandy. I’ve dreamt about this day. The answer’s yes.

Xander: Just be careful with that.

Leo: What, it’s not for me?

Xander: Course it’s not for you, you idiot. It’s for sarah. We’re getting married today.

Leo: What about gwen? Oh, is she just out of sight, out of mind?

Xander: Gwen destroyed our relationship when she poisoned sarah with that second dose of rolf’s drug.

Leo: Well, if you’re getting married today, she must be okay now.

Xander: Gwen didn’t cause any permanent damage, thank god, but sarah’s been struggling for months. They’ve only just figured out her dose, and she’s finally back in her right mind.

Leo: Are you sure about that? I mean, she’d have to be nuts to marry you with that heinous ring.

Xander: I have a wedding to get to.

Leo: Yeah, for the record, gwen only did what she did because she loved you. And you led her to believe you loved her too, or have you forgotten? It wasn’t that long ago you were putting a ring on her finger.

Kristen: So… you were in prison when abigail was murdered? Huh?

[Chuckles]

Roy: Hey, rizczech.

Gwen: Oh, hi, roy.

Roy: Mm-mm. You missed bed check. Where the hell have you been?

Gwen: That’s right. And thanks to abigail outing me at my wedding, I was already serving my time here for helping you kidnap her.

Kristen: Hmm. And giving sarah another dose of that drug? Yeah, word gets around.

Gwen: So then since I was locked up, it should be obvious to you now I could not have possibly killed my sister.

Kristen: Hmm. Well, I suppose, to the average person, I’d consider that an airtight alibi. But a criminal mastermind like me? There’s plenty of ways of getting in and out of this place if you know what you’re doing.

Gwen: Mm. And if you happen to have a woman that looks exactly like you and who is willing to take your place.

Kristen: Well, they say everyone has a twin.

Gwen: Well, not me. I don’T. No. No twins, no friends, and…no way out.

Kristen: Aww. Well, then I guess you’re right, gwen. Hmm? You do have an alibi.

Maggie: Oh, sarah. Oh, my goodness, are you a sight for sore eyes.

Sarah: Hi, mom. What’s wrong?

Maggie: Oh. [Chuckles] I was just reading about lucas.

Sarah: [Sighs]

Maggie: You know, I am still– I’m trying to process that he’s the one that kidnapped sami.

Sarah: [Sighs] You know, as a kidnap victim myself, I can tell you that some people will just go to extremes for love.

Maggie: [Sighs] Yeah. And as awful as holding sami captive was, I cannot believe that he is the one that murdered abigail.

Sarah: No, I–I don’t– I don’t think so either. But it does sound like he fell off the wagon pretty hard.

Maggie: Yeah. He must have been in a very– a very dark and desperate place. And god knows I know about that myself. Hey, but you know what? The lucas that I know, he’s not capable of that kind of violence.

Sarah: Yeah. I agree, mom.

Maggie: I wish someone would convince the police.

Rafe: Detective hunter, as much as I appreciate the assist with clyde, we still do have to go through the formality of this interview.

Jada: Course, commissioner. Steve johnson let me know that you’re very diligent.

Rafe: Oh, well, he had many good things to say about you as well. In fact, he couldn’t recommend you highly enough.

Jada: Well, that’s very kind of you, but he was one of my father’s oldest friends, so you should probably take it with a grain of salt.

Rafe: Ah, yes. Marcus hunter.

Jada: He was a doctor here in salem for years. He always said that this was a great place to live. So when I heard you were down a couple detectives, I took that as an opportunity to bone up on the abigail dimera case.

Rafe: Clearly.

Jada: So, uh, mr. Weston, his alibi, is it solid?

Rafe: Yeah, rock-solid. Time-stamped security footage. But we do have another suspect in custody.

Jada: Lucas horton. I read about that. But unless there’s something you’re holding back, it doesn’t seem like you have much to hold him on.

Rafe: Well, I don’t have a problem telling you that the evidence we have against him is, well, thin. But we are working on that right now.

Marlena: So you went to the dimera house that night.

Lucas: I was banging on the front door. I was yelling for abigail.

Marlena: Did she answer?

[Knocking at door]

Lucas: Abigail, I know you’re in there; open up. No, no she didn’t answer. I tried the door, but it was locked.

[Dramatic music]

Marlena: Lucas, did you leave?

Lucas: No. I went in through the french doors. Abigail, are you in here? Abigail! She wasn’t there, so I decided to fix myself a drink and wait.

[Lid clatters]

[Burps] I was slicing a lemon, and the knife slipped. Aah! Ow!

[Groaning] Ow! [Groans] Ow.

[Groans]

Marlena: So that’s how you cut your hand? It was on the knife that you used to cut the lemon.

Lucas: Yes.

Marlena: What did you do next? Did you leave?

Lucas: No. No, I started slicing another lemon for my drink, and that’s when I heard a noise from upstairs.

Gwen: There’s just so much that I wish I’d done differently.

Kristen: Regrets are a waste of time, sister.

Gwen: All I have is bloody time. You were right. If I had been more clever, careful, if I hadn’t made so many stupid mistakes, I’d still be with xander.

Kristen: You are better off without him. The guy is a monster who made me think that my baby was dead.

Gwen: That’s only because he couldn’t bear to tell sarah that she’d lost her own.

Kristen: Oh, oh. So…he did it for love, and that makes it okay?

Gwen: No, I didn’t say that.

Kristen: Oh, good, good. Good, because what–what he did was sick and wrong and twisted.

[Sighs] I mean, sarah did give me rachel back. I mean, I did have to chase her all the way to paris.

Gwen: So you don’t blame her, then?

Kristen: No. No, I don’T. She was a grieving mother. And xander made her pain a thousand times worse with his lies.

[Chuckles] So hey, if she wants to be with him, let her have him. You just gotta sit back and relax and just watch their relationship combust on its own.

Gwen: Yeah, like that’s ever gonna happen.

Kristen: [Chuckles] I don’t know. What I’ve seen is, uh, sarah is still a bit…off.

Maggie: Come on. As worried as I am about lucas…

Sarah: Mm-hmm.

Maggie: Right now, I want to hear from you. How are you doing, sweetheart?

Sarah: I’m doing better. Yeah, I, uh–my hallucinations are under control, thanks to my meds. And…I haven’t had a kristen sighting in a couple days, which is good.

Maggie: I’m glad. You know, I was really worried that what gwen did to you would keep you from getting on with your life.

Sarah: Yeah, I don’t think that you have to be worried. I’m, um… I’m hopeful about the future. And I want to seize the day.

Maggie: Okay.

Sarah: So…are you busy?

Maggie: Uh, no. [Chuckles] Why?

Sarah: Xander and I were wondering if you would marry us.

Maggie: Oh, now?

Sarah: Mm-hmm. Yeah, we don’t want to wait. He’s–he’s picking up my ring as we speak, and then we’ll be good to go.

Maggie: [Sighs] Are you sure that’s what you want?

Sarah: More than anything.

Maggie: Well, I know that’s what xander wants.

Sarah: [Chuckles]

Maggie: I saw him while you were gone, and he was a broken man. I mean, all those months, he never–he never got over you.

Sarah: Well, he doesn’t have to. I’m back. And we can finally start our life together.

Jada: Did you find the murder weapon?

Rafe: The knife? Not yet. But there is another person of interest in the mix.

Jada: Oh?

Rafe: Yeah.

Jada: And you’re looking into it?

Rafe: Yeah. But the description that clyde provided has been, well, let’s say less than helpful. So at the moment, uh, lucas is the person of interest that we’re focusing on. Speaking of which, I should get back to the station, see if there’s anything new. You coming?

Jada: Does that mean I got the job?

Rafe: Welcome to salem pd.

Marlena: Lucas, tell me about what you heard.

Lucas: I’m not sure.

Marlena: What did you do next?

Lucas: I walked towards the foyer, and I heard some sort of commotion, so I stopped.

Marlena: And then?

Lucas: I saw someone rushing down the stairs toward the front door.

Marlena: Who was it?

[Suspenseful music]

Lucas: Oh, my god.

Migraine attacks?

Maggie: Sarah, are you almost ready?

[Sighs]

Sarah: [Giggles] Well? What do you think? It’s not bad after months in storage on a tropical island.

Maggie: Sweetheart, you look beautiful.

Sarah: [Chuckles]

Xander: I’ll second that.

Sarah: [Gasps]

Maggie: [Gasps]

Sarah: Oh! You clean up so nice.

Xander: Well, especially since I have this.

Sarah: Is that the sporran I got you?

Xander: It is. I found it with the note that you left me after I thought you’d left me. You were right. No kilt would be complete without it.

Sarah: Just like I’m not complete without you.

Xander: Well, in addition to being very handsome, it’s also quite practical. Look.

Sarah: [Gasps] You got my ring back. They still had it. Thank god.

Xander: If they hadn’t, I’d have gone to the ends of the earth to track it down for you.

Sarah: Hmm. So all we need now are wedding bands.

Xander: Hmm, as I said, very practical.

Sarah: [Chuckles]

Maggie: [Laughs] Well, I believe we have everything now. So come on, let’s get on with this thing. Let’s make you husband and wife.

Clyde: I wish I could tell you how much I’d like to waltz into one of them fancy jewelry stores and just buy the most expensive bracelet they got. But I can’t afford that. So if I’m gonna give you the kind of present you deserve, I gotta cut corners.

Nancy: Clyde, you don’t have to give me fancy gifts to impress me.

Clyde: Well, that’s what you’re used to, isn’t it? I mean, I’m guessing that doctor ex-husband of yours would give you anything that you wanted.

Nancy: [Chuckles] Except for the one thing I wanted most, clyde. A man who loved me.

Clyde: He didn’t love you?

Nancy: No. He di–he does. Clyde, craig was never in love with me.

Clyde: Yeah.

Nancy: He spent years lying to me and to himself.

Clyde: Well, that’s tough.

Nancy: So, um, the best– the most valuable thing that you could ever give me is honesty.

Clyde: Okay. From here on out, it’s nothing but the god’s honest truth. Though I do have to say that even though I lied to you about how I acquired that bracelet, I wasn’t lying about who I got it from.

Nancy: Some guy.

Clyde: Yeah. I just wish I could remember exactly what he looked like.

Rafe: So there are a couple empty desks. You can feel free to take…

Marlena: Rafe…

Rafe: Either one. Yes? And this is dr. Marlena evans, the psychiatrist who hypnotized lucas horton.

Marlena: Nice to meet you.

Jada: Dr. Evans.

Rafe: So how’d it go? Was lucas able to remember anything about the night abigail was murdered?

Marlena: Yes. Absolutely.

From prom dresses

Nancy: The police have someone in custody right now.

Clyde: You don’t sound too happy about that.

Nancy: Well, I’ve– I’ve known this person for years, and I don’t think it’s possible for him to have killed abigail. I mean, I– clyde… I want you to take a look at this picture and tell me if this is the person who sold you the bracelet.

Clyde: Well, that’s lucas. Kate’s boy. It wasn’t him.

Nancy: [Sighs]

Clyde: No.

[Scoffs] I wish I could figure out who this weasel was, make him pay for what he did to me.

Nancy: [Chuckles] I just had to deal with my own little weasel. Leo stark. The man that my husband left me for.

Clyde: You ask me, he did you a favor. He did me one too.

Nancy: Thank you. That’s very sweet, clyde, but…

[Sighs] Leo stark is pond scum. He makes whoever sold you that bracelet look like a prince.

Clyde: Well, maybe. But if I find out who it is, little hustler who jammed me up, man, there’s gonna be trouble.

Lucas: What did rafe say?

Marlena: He said don’t worry. He’s on it.

[Phone beeps]

Rafe: Chad, wanted to give you a heads up, I’m bringing in a person of interest.

Maggie: We are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony. If anyone can show just cause as to why these two people should not be joined in marriage– I can’t imagine who that might be, but speak now, or forever hold your peace.

Jada: I can.

Gwen: What do you mean, sarah seems off?

Kristen: Well, before I was transferred here, she came to visit me at the police station in salem. She chewed me out for ruining her life. Told me that she was still having hallucinations. Apparently she sees me everywhere.

Gwen: So I heard.

Kristen: Yeah, it seems like she’s, uh, still feeling that aftereffect of the second jab you gave her. So cheer up, gwennie. If sarah is stuck in crazy town, then maybe she and xander won’t be riding off into the sunset after all.

Maggie: Who are you?

Jada: Detective jada hunter, salem pd.

Maggie: And you have an objection to this marriage?

Sarah: Do you know her?

Xander: Never seen her before in my life.

Jada: I’m afraid I have to bring you in for questioning.

Maggie: Oh, no, xander. What have you done now?

Jada: Not him. Her. I’m here for dr. Sarah horton.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Brooke: So, did you work everything out, sweetheart?

Hope: Yeah, no, it’s fine. It’s just security trying to stop aunt donna from leaving with beth.

Liam: Oh… that’s my bad. I was supposed to call this morning and tell them the schedule and I didn’T.

Hope: No, it’s fine. It’s okay, really. I–I forgot the new gate code yesterday.

Ridge: I know all of this is a big inconvenience. I’m sorry.

Brooke: Well, it’s necessary.

Liam: Yeah, it is necessary.

[Stammers] Do the police have any…leads? Has sheila tried to contact anyone?

Ridge: Apparently not.

Hope: It’s like sheila’s disappeared. I–I just don’t understand how that can be.

[Monitor beeping]

Sheila: [Sighs] I love you so much, finn. All I have ever wanted was for you to love me back, baby. There he is. My precious boy. How you feeling? Do you want me to get you anything? Is there anything that you need?

Finn: Steffy. I need steffy.

Ridge: Baker assures me that finding sheila is his top priority.

Liam: Oh. Well, then. Good luck with that, ’cause she could be anywhere by now.

Brooke: Or she could still be in town.

Hope: Which is even scarier.

Ridge: And probably more likely because I mean, look, she could’ve left before anyone found out that she was the shooter. But now she’s got no passport, no id, no credit cards, no money. Where’s she going?

Liam: Then it’s really good that steffy and the kids are out of the country ’cause that means they’re safe.

Ridge: Yes, we–we can assume that but we– we can’t let our guard down. We’ve gotta help the police put that woman behind bars. We gotta do it, and that’s why baker’s coming over here now.

Brooke: Well, we might have information that they may need.

Liam: Information about sheila? What information?

Hope: Did she try to contact you? Did she make some sort of threat?

Brooke: No. It’s just… we may know how sheila escaped from prison.

Sheila: I know how much you miss steffy, hayes, and kelly.

Finn: They think I’m dead. I need to see my family.

[Door opens]

Mike: It’s me!

[Door closes] Everything okay? Your kid’s still in pretty bad shape. You don’t want to get him all wound up.

Sheila: I don’t need your opinions, mike.

Mike: Maybe I should’ve made yours decaf.

Sheila: I was just explaining to my son… how his family needs him to recover. You need to rest. You need to regain your strength. I’m here, let me take care of you and then you will be reunited with steffy and the kids.

Finn: Today. Today! I want to see steffy today. (Vo) red lobster’s seafood summerfest is fire!

Brooke: We have to do whatever we can to bring sheila to justice.

Liam: And–and this– this clue you guys are hesitating to tell us about is gonna make that happen or…

Ridge: It’s gonna be a start for the police. They can maybe find something. Look, the longer sheila’s out there, the more dangerous she becomes to us.

Liam: Well, yeah, sure, but thankfully you have this place locked down.

Ridge: And it’s gonna stay locked down until we find her.

Brooke: And there’s not going to be anybody literally opening up doors for her. The police think this was an inside job. And I think it was an old friend who set her free.

[Knocks on door]

Ridge: That’s gotta be baker. Tell security to let him through. Hey. Come on in. Thanks for coming by.

Baker: I guess this is about sheila carter?

Ridge: Yeah, last conversation we had, um, got us thinking.

Baker: Yeah, me too. I went back over the interview transcripts, had my team go deeper into the prison personnel, especially the officer in charge when sheila escaped.

Baker: Guthrie?

Baker: That’s right. Richard michael guthrie. That name mean something to you?

Mike: Your prisoner… I mean, patient, seems a little agitated. Maybe you want to sedate him again.

Sheila: I am not holding him hostage.

Finn: Yes, you are. Look at me, I’m trapped in this bed.

Sheila: You’re injured! I’ve been treating you! Baby… I love you. And everything that I have been doing is for you.

Mike: You want him to go nighty-night?

Sheila: No. I just–I just want him to calm down.

[Sighs] Can you do that? Can you be good for mike for just a little bit so I can go jump in the shower?

Mike: Hey, sheila, I’m not a babysitter. I’m a highly trained security officer.

Sheila: Yeah, and I’m just hoping you don’t have to use any of those tactical moves while I’m gone. I won’t be gone long.

Mike: Make it quick. I gotta go to work.

Sheila: Okay.

[Sighs]

Mike: This is crazy, huh? You were a goner. But you’re back now. Look, finn… what your mother said is true.

Finn: Sheila.

Mike: She could’ve gone on the run. She–she stayed here for you.

[Shower running] She’s risking everything to be here with you. If that’s not love…

Finn: Hmm, it’s not. If she loved me, I’d be in a hospital. And my family… wouldn’t be grieving for no reason. Listen… mike… I know you’re the one who got her out of prison.

Mike: Uniform’s kind of a giveaway.

Finn: Why? Why would you do that?

Mike: It’s personal.

Finn: She got some sort of hold over you?

Mike: Sheila and i go way back. We have a lot of history. There’s just something about her. I have a weakness for sheila, always have. Got this power over me. Maybe it’s her eyes. Like a wild animal the way she looks right into you.

Finn: She’s gonna ruin your life, mike. She’s a fugitive. An escaped convict. They won’t stop until they find her. She will go back to prison. You will, too. Unless… you help me get out of here. You do the right thing before it’s too late. Cats really know how to do less

Ridge: Richard michael guthrie.

Brooke: The guard in charge when sheila escaped was mike?

Baker: His employment records at the prison say “richard.”

Ridge: Well, when he worked security at forrester, it was mike.

Hope: That mike?

Liam: I’m sorry, what are you guys talking about?

Hope: No, the one that i heard all those stories about.

Ridge: Yeah, he and sheila, they–they were like bonnie and clyde.

Liam: Does that mean they committed crimes together? Like, what–what–

Ridge: Yes!

Brooke: Yes, kidnapping, tampering with medical records, blackmail.

Liam: Oh, that’s fun.

Ridge: So how does someone like that end up working in a prison? How does that work?

Baker: We’re looking into it.

Brooke: Do you know where he is right now? Maybe he’s with sheila somewhere!

Baker: Well, at this point there’s no evidence to suggest that he had anything to do with sheila’s escape.

Ridge: No evidence? He’s her henchman! We just said that!

Baker: Right now their connection is circumstantial. We need video evidence, witnesses, something.

Ridge: So the fact that sheila escaped while guthrie was watching her, that’s just a coincidence, you believe that?

Baker: What I believe doesn’t put people in prison. Evidence does. Officer guthrie is already a person of interest in this case. He’s given the police a statement.

Brooke: But the statement you showed us was very vague.

Ridge: Yeah, he didn’t answer any questions, not at all. And now we know that he knew sheila from before. Isn’t that reason enough to call him back in?

Baker: His employment record is spotless. He hasn’t missed a day of work. He’s not behaving like a man with anything to hide.

Hope: Wait, so he might have helped sheila escape from prison, but he’s still working there?

Ridge: Is he working today?

Baker: Yeah, I checked. He’s ready to start on the next shift.

Ridge: Well, then, let’s go down there and see him. And I promise you, when he sees us, he’s gonna have a lot to say.

Mike: Sheila’s been out for a while now. Cops haven’t found her.

Finn: She will get caught, mike. And you’ll go down with her. But if you do as I say, and you listen to me, you– you could be the hero in this story.

Mike: Makes sheila the villain. Finn, sheila wasn’t trying to kill you. She didn’t kidnap you. She saved your life. I was there, I saw it. She was desperate. She would’ve done anything to bring you back.

Finn: Well, now she wants to keep me.

Mike: No! No, no. As soon as you’re better, she’s gonna let you go back to your wife and kids. You’re on your way.

Finn: And then what? Are we just gonna go on and pretend like none of this ever happened?

Mike: I don’t know. Maybe she and I’ll…take off. Hit the road together.

Finn: And that’s your plan? Go on the run with sheila? Yeah, she’s laying low for now, but a prison guard and a fugitive… on the run. You can’t hide forever. They will find you. But you can fix this. I’ll speak on your behalf. I promise. Let me go.

[Door opens]

[Door closes]

Sheila: [Chuckles] What’s going on?

Mike: Nothing.

Sheila: Nothing?

Mike: I gotta to go work.

Sheila: You do that. We wouldn’t want anyone to get suspicious, would we? What was that about?

Finn: What?

Sheila: Mike. In such a hurry to rush out of here. What– what did you say to him? Are you planning something, finn? So, you’re 45.

Liam: So… what do we know about this mike guy?

Hope: Oh, well, apparently he has a history with sheila and our family. It was a long time ago and no one really talks about it but he was a guard at forrester.

Liam: Well, I mean, that makes sense. That’s a useful person for sheila to have around.

Hope: I wonder if he’s the one who let her out.

Liam: Well, if he did, he’s clearly not too bright because he’s gonna be suspect number one, right?

Hope: I don’t get why he would jeopardize his job like that.

Liam: Oh, I’m sure sheila promised him something.

Hope: Yeah, well, sheila’s full of promises, but she never keeps them.

Liam: [Chuckles]

Hope: Unless it’s for revenge, so I can see why ridge is worried.

Liam: Yeah, well, ridge is also highly motivated to get to the bottom of this thing and if… he and your mom are right, that mike guthrie is the one who helped sheila escape, then they’ve basically solved the case.

Guard: You’re late, richard.

Mike: Sorry, I got hung up checking on a friend.

Guard: Well, you have some people waiting to see you. Showed up a little while ago.

Mike: Who? Who’s waiting to see me?

Baker: Mike guthrie?

Mike: What’s going on?

Baker: I’m deputy chief baker, los angeles police. We’d like to ask you a few questions.

Mike: About what?

Ridge: About how you helped sheila carter escape.

Finn: You’re making a mistake keeping me here.

Sheila: I’m just trying to make you comfortable and nurse you back to health.

Finn: Then give me your phone. Let me call my family.

Sheila: [Chuckles] That’s what you were talking to mike about.

Finn: Yeah. Just trying to get through to him, make him see what’s really going on here. How much trouble he’s in.

Sheila: Hmm. Must not have worked or you wouldn’t be asking me for my phone.

Finn: It’s only a matter of time, sheila. The police are gonna track you down. You can’t hid me here forever.

Sheila: What are you talking about, “forever”? I’m not holding you hostage, I’m taking care of you. Are you in pain? No. You’re being fed, you’re being medicated. And if I didn’t love you so much, I would’ve run. I would’ve run so far away from here, and I never would’ve come back. But all I want, all I’ve ever wanted, is to spend time with my precious little boy that was kept away from me all those years. Is that too much to ask?

Finn: Yeah. Because I don’t want to spend another second with you. I want to go home, to steffy, to hayes, and kelly. They think I’m dead. Do you know how cruel that is? Damn it, sheila, I am not asking you! I am telling you! You need to let me go now!

Sheila: Why are you talking to me in this tone? I love you!

Finn: Then prove it! Let me talk to steffy and tell her I’m alive!

Sheila: Not yet.

Finn: Now. Now.

Sheila: No, it wouldn’t even matter. What are you– what are you doing?

Finn: I’m out of here.

Sheila: No. No.

Finn: I don’t care. I’m getting out of here.

Sheila: You can’t! You can’t do that!

Finn: …Be with my family! I don’t care if I gotta tear off every wire, or every…

Sheila: Get back in there!

Finn: I’m gonna go be with my wife and my family!

Sheila: You’re gonna hurt yourself. You don’t–

Finn: Get off me! I’m gonna see steffy! Now! I’m going to my family!

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Allie is at home, on the phone with Tripp. She tells him that she doesn’t know how she feels as she went from her parents getting married to her dad getting arrested for kidnapping her mom. Allie thanks him for checking on her and hangs up as Kate arrives. Kate says she just wanted to check on her and see how she’s doing. Allie responds that she’s just praying that her father isn’t a murderer. Kate hopes today her prayers will be answered as she doesn’t think Lucas killed Abigail and she thinks maybe they will get proof of that today.

Lucas tells Marlena that he just wishes he could remember every single detail of that night. Marlena thinks hypnosis got them halfway there and they can maybe get clarity after they interview Sarah. Lucas wonders what Sarah was doing at the DiMera Mansion. Marlena says only she has the answer to that. Lucas hopes that Sarah can prove to Rafe and Chad that he didn’t kill Abigail.

Rafe calls Chad to give him a heads up that he’s bringing in a person of interest. Chad asks what that means. Rafe responds that they aren’t sure yet. Chad wants to come down there but Rafe says no way in Hell.

Maggie questions who Jada is. Jada introduces herself as Detective Jada Hunter from the Salem PD. Maggie questions her objecting to the marriage. Sarah asks if Xander knows her. Xander says he’s never seen her before in his life. Maggie worries about what Xander has done now, but Jada then reveals that she’s here to bring Sarah in for questioning. Sarah asks why. Xander asks what she could possibly have to question Sarah about. Jada reveals that it’s about the murder of Abigail DiMera, shocking them all.

Chad tells Rafe that he needs to know what information this person has or if they are a suspect and this means Lucas didn’t do it. Rafe assures that he’s doing everything by the book and Chad has shown he can’t restrain himself and if he goes off the handle again, he could jeopardize the entire investigation. Rafe says he will let him know when he knows more, but he needs to promise to stay out of it. Chad asks how he’s supposed to do that and if he wants someone to chain him to a chair. Sonny walks in to the DiMera Mansion and tells Chad that he can do that if he needs him to.

Xander argues that Jada must have been given some bad information but she disagrees. Maggie questions not hearing of her before. Jada explains that she just got hired today. Xander remarks that it explains that she’s anxious to prove herself on her first day but this isn’t the way and tells her to go talk to Rafe about it. Jada reveals that Rafe is the one who sent her here. Xander argues that he must have made a mistake because Sarah doesn’t know anything about Abigail’s murder. Jada wants to hear her say that. Sarah backs up that she doesn’t but Jada says that’s funny because they have an eye witness that puts her at the scene of the crime on the night that Abigail was killed.

Allie doesn’t understand why Lucas plead not guilty since he admitted to kidnapping Sami at the wedding. Kate explains that she convinced him to fight the charges. Allie asks why. Kate worried that if he confessed to kidnapping Sami then they would go ahead and charge him for Abigail’s murder. Allie asks if she’s sure he didn’t do it. Kate says of course he didn’t. Allie doesn’t want to believe it but points out that Lucas was capable of kidnapping Sami, lying about it, and keeping it from all of them for months. Kate then tells her that there’s something she has to talk to her about.

Chanel runs in to Johnny in the town square and asks what he’s doing here. Johnny responds that he was waiting for her because he needs her.

Sonny questions Chad needing him to stop him from going to the police station. Chad screams that he needs to go to the police station. Sonny encourages that Rafe needs to be able to focus on the case instead of dealing with him. Chad asks if he’s just supposed to sit here and lose his mind. Sonny offers to keep him company and keep his mind off things. Chad asks how to think about anything else as he just keeps wondering if it could be true that Lucas killed Abigail and if he was that desperate to keep his secret. Sonny mentions that Will was asking the same questions before he left. Chad asks where he went. Sonny explains that he got some new project and he practically had to force him to go. Chad asks if Will thinks Lucas could be the one who did it. Sonny says no and neither does he. Chad asks why not since Lucas kidnapped Sami. Sonny argues they can’t jump to conclusions. Chad thinks they should accept the fact that it could be him while Sonny points out that this new information could vindicate Lucas and it’s Rafe’s job to find the truth. Sonny tells Chad to just let Rafe do his job.

Rafe enters the interrogation room and informs Lucas and Marlena that Sarah is being brought in as they speak while he will need a statement from Lucas. Lucas says he’ll say whatever he needs. Rafe tells Lucas to just say whatever he remembers from that night. Lucas agrees to do that now so Rafe exits to go get his recorder. Lucas thanks Marlena for helping him remember as he knows it was a lot to ask after everything he did to Sami. Marlena says she can’t begin to understand why he did what he did and she doesn’t condone it. Lucas is so sorry that he hurt Sami, Marlena, and his kids. Lucas knows he’s lost Sami forever and it’s his own damn fault, but now that he remembers seeing Sarah at the DiMera Mansion, he wonders if he could remember more. Marlena says it’s possible for more memories to come back. Lucas feels like a lot is clearing up now. Lucas hopes that Sarah can prove that it wasn’t him who hurt Abigail.

Xander questions Jada who claims they saw Sarah. Maggie asks what exactly they saw. Jada says she can’t say but that the eye witness placed Sarah at the DiMera Mansion on the night of the murder. Xander argues that Sarah was nowhere near the mansion and had no reason to go there but Sarah reveals that’s not true.

Chad paces at home, complaining of not knowing what to do with all his anger and guilt. Sonny questions his guilt when he didn’t do anything. Chad guesses he hasn’t talked to EJ then. Sonny asks what EJ would have to say. Chad reveals to Sonny that he knew Lucas was the one who kidnapped Sami since he discovered Lucas planting evidence on the DiMera computer to frame EJ but he kept quiet because EJ was trying to shut him out of DiMera and kept causing problems for he and Abigail. Sonny realizes Chad then sent his brother to jail which Chad confirms. Sonny says he’s not saying Chad should be proud of it but he’s sure he had his reasons. Sonny asks what now and if EJ is going to press charges. Chad says not if he signs over all his shares of DiMera again. Sonny asks if he’s going to do it.

Allie tells Kate that it sounds serious. Kate responds that it is but they get interrupted by Marlena showing up at the door. Allie comments on having both her grandmothers visit. Marlena says she didn’t know Kate would be there. Kate explains that she came to tell Allie about Marlena hypnotizing Lucas, so maybe now she can tell them both if she was able to do it. Marlena confirms that she was. Kate asks if Lucas remembered anything about the night of Abigail’s murder. Marlena reveals that he did and she wasn’t going to discuss it with Kate, but Lucas asked her to share whatever he recalls with his family. Marlena admits that Lucas did remember going to the DiMera Mansion that night. Allie asks if Lucas killed Abigail. Marlena explains that Lucas remembered going around back to get in to the DiMera Mansion and was making himself a drink when the knife he was cutting a lemon with slipped and he cut himself. Kate realizes that he didn’t use the knife on Abigail then. Allie asks if he remembered anything else. Marlena reveals that Lucas said there was somebody else there that night.

Rafe takes Lucas’s statement and asks him again how he got in to the DiMera Mansion. Lucas tells him that he let himself in through the living room doors. Rafe asks what he did once inside. Lucas admits he made himself a drink and went to a cut a lemon but his hands were shaky, so the knife slipped and sliced his hand. Rafe asks what happened next. Lucas says he walked towards the foyer and that’s when he saw Sarah Horton. Lucas notes that Sarah did not see him as she was agitated and running towards the door. Lucas adds that Sarah was in a total panic.

Sarah states that she did have a reason to go the DiMera Mansion that night. Jada asks what the reason was. Sarah says it was to see Abigail. Xander tells her that she doesn’t have to do this. Jada asks why Sarah would be looking for Abigail. Sarah explains that she had a conversation with Marlena that day, who has been treating her. Jada understands Sarah recently went through a trauma. Maggie argues that Sarah was kidnapped, drugged, and held hostage by a maniac. Xander doesn’t see what that has to do with anything. Jada asks about Sarah’s conversation with Marlena. Sarah says they talked about adjusting her meds and Marlena suggested she go speak to Abigail because she had been through something similar and she thought it was a good idea. Jada questions if Sarah admits that she went to see Abigail that night.

Chanel tells Johnny that she’s really sorry that his family is going through this. Johnny just wants his dad to be okay. Chanel says he seems like a tough guy like him. Johnny says he doesn’t always feel that way. Chanel encourages Johnny about what he’s been through this year and coming out on the other side of battling The Devil. Johnny points out that he still lost her. Chanel says things happen. Johnny complains that his parents could’ve found their way back to each other but now his mom left town and no one knows if or when she’ll ever come home while Chad just lost Abigail forever and he doesn’t want that to happen to them. Chanel assures that she’s not going anywhere and is still his friend. Johnny argues that he wants more than that and to give them another try. Johnny points out that before The Devil ruined everything, they were so happy. Johnny says falling in love with her was the best time of his life and he thinks she was pretty happy too. Chanel responds that so much has happened since then. Johnny says not for him since the feelings are just as strong and never went away. Johnny declares that these are just words and he wants to show her as he pulls out a ring box. Chanel questions what he’s doing. Johnny gives her the box and tells her to open it. She does and finds her engagement ring, remembering that she threw it at him. Johnny says he found it and the second he picked it up, all the memories came rushing back. Johnny reminds her of when he first proposed to her. Johnny says they got married that night and she called it the most romantic day of her life. Chanel questions why he’s doing this when he said he would respect her wishes. Johnny argues that he tried but he can’t just keep pretending that he’s not still in love with her.

Allie questions Lucas seeing Sarah in the mansion on the night of the murder. Kate questions what the hell she was doing there. Marlena explains that Rafe is sending a detective to talk to Sarah so maybe she can remember something to help Lucas. Kate remarks that’s assuming Sarah’s not the murderer. Allie questions why Sarah would kill Abigail. Kate says she doesn’t know but anything is possible. Marlena says she will let them know if she hears from Rafe. Kate thanks Marlena for helping as she knows Marlena is upset with her and Lucas. Allie questions why Marlena would be upset with Kate.

Chad tells Sonny that EJ can have his shares as they mean nothing to him now and he owes it after what he did. Chad adds that EJ pointed out his hypocrisy for going after EJ for allowing Clyde to stay free when he was a threat to the family and he did the exact same thing with Lucas. Sonny doesn’t think it’s fair to compare Lucas to Clyde Weston. Chad points out that Lucas kidnapped Sami and may have cost Abigail her life. Sonny argues that they don’t know that. Chad says if it is true that Lucas killed her, then he could’ve prevented it if he told the truth as Lucas would be behind bars and Abigail could still be alive. Chad declares that if that’s true, he will never forgive himself.

Sarah clarifies that she didn’t say she was at the DiMera Mansion, just that she was planning to talk to Abigail. Jada questions if Sarah was or wasn’t there. Maggie accuses Jada of harassing her daughter. Jada just wants her to answer the question. Xander tells Sarah not to say another word. Jada asks him to stay out of it. Xander argues that Sarah doesn’t have to answer anything or talk to Jada at all if she doesn’t want to. Jada says he’s right but that would make her wonder what Sarah is hiding. Xander says that’s enough and points out that Jada interrupted their wedding, so he’s asking her to leave.

Rafe asks Lucas if Sarah ran out. Lucas recalls Sarah stopping in the doorway as he thinks she dropped something. Rafe questions if it was a knife.

Johnny tells Chanel that he wanted to be patient and tried to give her space, but he just watched his parents lives fall apart and his uncle Chad have his heart ripped out while all he could think about was how quickly it can all go away, so it became impossible for him to wait. Johnny says every minute that goes by without him telling her how he feels is a minute wasted, so he’s not going to stand back and risk losing her because he knows she’s the right person for him and he’s the right person for her. Johnny knows she might have feelings for his sister, but he believes in his soul that they belong together and they can’t lose any more time. Johnny then gets down on one knee and proposes to Chanel.

Marlena questions Kate not telling Allie. Allie asks someone to explain what’s going on. Kate says she was about to tell her when Marlena knocked on the door. Kate doesn’t know how to say it but informs Allie that she knew Lucas had kidnapped Sami. Allie questions her knowing the whole time. Kate clarifies that she found out after Sami had been rescued or else she would’ve told someone. Allie argues that it’s easy to say now and complains that Kate let her go on about how Lucas is a hero when she knew. Kate argues that Lucas is still her father. Allie calls him a kidnapper and maybe worse. Allie questions Kate not saying anything and keeping her mouth shut during the wedding. Kate argues that she believed they loved each other. Allie argues that he kidnapped her so the whole thing was based on a lie and if Chad hadn’t burst in, they’d be married right now. Kate tells Allie that she’s so sorry. Allie asks if Roman knows. Kate confirms that he does and has now broken off their relationship and doesn’t want to see or talk to her anymore because of it. Allie says that’s good because neither does she.

Sonny sits Chad down and tells him to relax and take it one thing at a time. Sonny encourages that Rafe is going to find out if it was Lucas or somebody else and then he will bring that person to justice. Chad says as much as he wants to find out who the killer is, it’s not going to change anything since Abigail is still gone and he’s nothing without her. Sonny points out that he still has his kids. Chad remarks that he’s about as good of a father as he is a brother to EJ. Chad says it’s hard to be a loving dad when filled with rage and regret. Sonny tells him he’s doing his best but Chad doesn’t feel that way. Chad talks about how Abigail would always tell the kids a long bedtime story with a new adventure every night and it was the best part of their day. Sonny points out that Chad is still with the kids and they feel that he’s trying which is all that matters. Chad asks what if he’s not enough. Sonny tells Chad the next time he feels overwhelmed or like he needs backup, he can call him. Sonny reminds Chad that he’s his best friend, so if he needs help with the kids, he’s there no matter what which means he’s also there for him any time he needs to talk. Chad points out that Sonny is running Titan now. Sonny says that doesn’t matter as he promises to always make time for him no matter what.

Rafe questions Lucas if Sarah was looking at a knife on the floor. Lucas says he doesn’t know. Rafe questions if Lucas didn’t see it or he doesn’t remember. Lucas says he does remember but her back was to him and he saw her pick something up and shove it in to her pocket, but he couldn’t make out what it was and then she ran off. Lucas says he’s sorry. Rafe asks what Lucas did next and if he went after Sarah. Lucas says no, so Rafe asks if he went upstairs or if he saw Abigail.

Jada is afraid she can’t leave without getting answers to her questions. Xander assures that she will get her answers, just not right now. Maggie pleads with Jada to let them get married. Xander promises that Sarah will be in touch, but they have to finish their wedding. Jada asks if that’s what Sarah wants. Sarah tells Xander that she’s so sorry but she can’t do this right now. Xander knows this has been upsetting but feels that clearly Jada has made a mistake. Xander tells Sarah that tomorrow they will go to the police station together to straighten this all out, but today he just wants to marry her and finally make her his wife. Xander asks Maggie for help. Maggie points out that they were up to the vows so it’d be just five more minutes and they’d be married. Sarah cries that she can’t as this is too much and she can’t give their wedding her full attention. Sarah wants to cooperate since Jada is trying to solve Abigail’s murder and she loved Abigail. Sarah points out that if it wasn’t for Abigail, she wouldn’t be here now. Maggie says she understands as Sarah decides she must do everything she can to help and answer all Jada’s questions. Sarah tells Jada that she will go with her. Xander tries to tell her no but Jada says that’s a good decision. Sarah declares that she has nothing to hide, so she’ll make a statement and tell her anything she wants. Xander asks Jada to give them a moment alone.

Lucas tells Rafe that he remembers now and it’s all coming back to him as after Sarah left, he didn’t go upstairs and he didn’t see Abigail. Rafe asks what he did. Lucas says his hand was throbbing and bleeding and he didn’t want to bleed all over the place, so he went back to the living room bar for another towel. Lucas says he went back out the way he came in. Rafe asks where he went then.

Kate asks Allie to give her a chance to explain but Allie says there’s nothing to explain as she lied and protected a criminal. Allie doesn’t want to hear Kate’s excuses and asks Marlena to watch Henry because she has to get out of here. Kate offers to watch Henry but Allie tells her to stay away from him. Marlena agrees to do it as Allie storms out.

Chanel gets Johnny up from being down on one knee. Johnny says he’s still waiting on an answer. Johnny reminds Chanel that she admitted how happy she was with him and they’d still be together right now if it wasn’t for The Devil. Johnny says they would be looking forward to their first anniversary together. Chanel repeats that so much has happened since then. Johnny knows they have lost a lot of time but says they don’t have to lose anymore. Johnny tells Chanel that he wants her, he needs her, and he loves her. Johnny adds that he knows she loves him.

Sonny pours drinks for he and Chad. Chad thinks he heard a car in the driveway but Sonny tells him there wasn’t. Chad talks about how it happens that he hears something and thinks it’s Abigail. Chad talks about thinking Abigail would walk in or that she’d be next to him when he wakes up but she’s not and never will be. Chad breaks down crying that he feels so lost and it takes everything he has to hold it all together. Sonny hugs Chad as he cries.

Lucas tells Rafe that he staggered out the doors and remembers thinking he had to get out of there, but he was so drunk that he kept falling but he kept getting up and he made it to the Salem Inn. Lucas assures that he went straight to the Salem Inn and doesn’t know how he made it to his room, but declares that this means he didn’t kill Abigail.

Jada tells Sarah that she will wait for her while Maggie walks her out. Xander argues that this is crazy as there’s no reason for Sarah to answer any questions about Abigail since she didn’t go over there. Sarah points out that she wanted to. Xander repeats that she didn’t. Xander says that Sarah said herself that she loved Abigail and had no reason to hurt her. Sarah asks what if she did because she doesn’t remember everything from that night. Sarah brings up her hallucinations, seeing Kristen all over the place like the night that she thought Victor was coming after her. Sarah adds that she attacked Nicole and pulled a knife on Chanel, so what if she went there that night and thought Abigail was Kristen and she murdered her. Xander hugs Sarah.

Kate tells Marlena that it looks like she’s screwed up her relationship with her granddaughter as well. Marlena says she wouldn’t give up on her just yet. Kate says Allie has been through so much and she just made things worse for her. Marlena points out that Kate didn’t mean to hurt her. Kate says that doesn’t matter since Allie hates her and Lucas. Kate feels Allie shouldn’t be alone right now. Marlena knows she’s worried but she can’t be there for her. Kate is just grateful that Allie is surrounded by other people that love her…

Johnny asks Chanel if she still loves him and says he can see it in her eyes. Chanel admits that she loves him too and they start kissing right as Allie walks up and sees them.

As Sally packed up her office, she paused to look at a picture of her and Adam, posing cheek to cheek. Victoria and Nick returned, and Sally said they could look through her box and make sure she wasn’t stealing. Victoria and Nick revealed that they’d decided to keep Sally on, at least short term. Sally asked what the catch was. Nick said that some of the ideas Sally mentioned in her outpouring had potential. Victoria said Sally would be interim CEO for 90 days and if she met or exceeded expectations, she could stay. Victoria said that Newman Media was going to play an integral role in moving the entire company forward and if Sally couldn’t do that, they’d have no choice but to replace her. Sally said she was up for the job. Nick knew they were asking a lot of Sally, but Adam clearly had a lot of faith in her. He was sure Sally had assumed she’d have Adam’s guidance. Sally said she could do it without him. Victoria impressed upon Sally the importance of this role – millions of dollars, and people’s livelihoods and reputations were on the line, so Sally shouldn’t take the job if she wasn’t sure she was up for it. Victoria said she’d give Sally a robust severance package and a good recommendation if she left. Sally looked down at the picture of her and Adam, and then she said she was the right person to run the company.

Victoria thought Sally should hire an experienced COO who had years of media experience and knew all the players. Nick had some ideas. Sally said she already hired Chloe Mitchell – while Chloe had mostly worked in fashion, they worked really well together, and she was a smart creative thinker, which couldn’t be taught. Sally thought Chloe could learn the rest, like she did. She noted that Adam had no media experience when Victor put him in charge, but he was very successful. Victoria said this would be Sally’s first test, and she and Chloe could rise and fall together.

Nick and Victoria told Sally that they were there for her if she needed help or someone to bounce ideas off of. Sally asked if this was a diplomatic way of saying they wanted to keep tabs on her. They said they wanted to take an active role in supporting her. Sally seemed wary. Victoria was sure Adam warned Sally not to trust them. She hoped Sally saw that you couldn’t take everything Adam said at face value. Sally recalled Adam saying she’d regret getting involved with him, and that was true. Victoria said Sally was better off without Adam, because he turned on everyone eventually. Victoria also noted that Sally wouldn’t have been allowed to keep this job if she and Adam were still together. Sally said her job was a silver lining, and she intended to make the most of it. Victoria and Nick left.

Noah and Allie kissed at the Abbott mansion. They flew apart when they heard the door open. Jack apologized for interrupting. Allie thought she and Noah should apologize. Allie mentioned that they went to the rooftop pool at the GCAC, and Jack told her that she and her friends were welcome to use the pool here at the house. Jack left. Allie was embarrassed, and Noah told her that he bet Jack forgot all about it. Noah suggested he and Allie go back to Dive Bar tonight. She thought he was just trying to stall talking to his dad. She said she had her internship tomorrow, and she didn’t think Jack would approve of her going out partying the night before work. Noah wondered if Allie was trying to let him down easy because she just wanted to be friends. Allie said she just felt blown away by how fast her life was changing, but she did want to go to Dive Bar tonight. She said when they met up, he could tell her how things went with his dad. As Noah was leaving, Allie pulled him into another kiss.

After Noah left, Jack reappeared. Allie was still embarrassed, and Jack said there was no reason to be. He liked the idea of her spending time with Noah. He felt she deserved to live her life and have a good time. Allie bashfully said Noah invited her back to the pool at night. Jack sensed Allie didn’t want to go. Allie wanted to go, but things were going so well that she felt overwhelmed at times. Jack was sure Noah would understand if Allie wanted to slow things down. Allie replied that Noah said the same thing, and he was kind and sweet and thoughtful toward her. She really liked Noah, and she wasn’t sure why she was acting like a confused teen. Jack said love did that to you, and he wasn’t saying she was in love Noah, though it was great if she was. He just wanted her to be happy. She thanked him. When Allie was alone, she flashed back to the kiss.

Noah went to Crimson Lights and asked his mom if his dad was around. He wasn’t. Noah said he figured that if he ran into Nick, he’d have a talk with him about New Hope. Sharon got Noah to fix the espresso machine, and she noticed he seemed cheerful. He said something great happened.

Nikki, Phyllis and Ashley met at Society to talk about Diane. Phyllis called this the Disappear Diane Club, or the Jettison Jenkins Foundation. Nikki understood Phyllis’ need to inject humor into this, but the reality was that this situation was dire – they had to get Diane out of here before she hurt the people they loved. Ashley and Nikki agreed that Kyle was the only one who had influence over Diane. Ashley asked if Phyllis could get Summer to open Kyle’s eyes. Phyllis already tried that a million times. She said she wasn’t the best person to talk to Kyle and Summer about Diane, because she tended to get emotional, and Kyle and Summer thought she’d lost perspective. Ashley asked if that was because of what happened between Jack and Phyllis. Nikki asked what happened. Phyllis asked what Ashley knew. Ashley got the jist of it from Jack, and she told him she didn’t blame Phyllis.

Again, Nikki asked what happened. Phyllis said she was trying to send a message to Diane, and Jack felt used. Phyllis felt bad. Nikki agreed with Ashley. She said the impulse to fend off Diane was sometimes overwhelming, because she was a predator. Phyllis said that when she tried to talk to Summer and Kyle about Diane, she got emotional, and they saw it like she was trying to justify her behavior. Nikki wasn’t successful at swaying Summer either. She wondered if she and Ashley could get through to Jack. Phyllis was sure that Jack would listen to them and that Kyle would listen to Jack. Ashley wasn’t convinced Jack would be receptive to what they had to say.

Phyllis and Nikki were alarmed when Ashley said that Jack had complicated feelings for Diane. Ashley clarified that it was nothing romantic. Nikki said Jack would have more sense than that. Ashley said that she got the sense Jack thought Diane deserved another chance. That prompted Nikki to respond with disapproving groans, and Phyllis had an outburst. Phyllis insisted that Nikki and Ashley talk to Jack and convince him before Diane ruined Jack and Summer. Ashley said that Phyllis couldn’t be part of this team if she was going to go off the deep end and do something stupid. Phyllis said she was focused on bringing this woman down. Ashley said they couldn’t be irrational. Nikki said they all had to calm down and keep their eyes on the prize – getting rid of Diane.

Ashley said they had to accept that Jack, Kyle and Summer didn’t want to hear anything negative about Diane. She felt that the key would be providing them with evidence about Diane, not suspicions. Phyllis asked Nikki how the investigation into Diane’s past in LA. Nikki’s investigators hadn’t found anything yet, but she wasn’t giving up. Ashley didn’t believe Diane lived a clean life as Taylor Jenkins – there had to be a witness or victim to one of her scams. Phyllis said Allie was the only one Diane targeted from LA. Phyllis said that the other day, Diane saw her talking to Allie and accused her of trying to use Allie to get back into Jack’s life. Ashley called Diane a hypocrite. Phyllis said she’d only been having a light chat with Allie, with no ulterior motive. Nikki thought it sounded like Diane was projecting. “Maybe she’s the one who wants to maintain a relationship with Jack’s granddaughter. I’m sure she would love to have an Allie in the house,” Nikki said. Ashley didn’t like the sound of that, because the lovely Allie was not equipped to handle someone as devious as Diane. Phyllis said when they were in California, she tried to warn Allie about Diane. Allie took it to heart, but Phyllis wasn’t sure Allie really understood. Ashley decided she needed to talk to Allie.

Nikki said she’d keep the ladies posted on her investigation. Ashley said she’d talk to Allie. Phyllis said she’d steer clear of Diane, because Diane kept twisting everything Phyllis did and using it against her. Nick and Victoria arrived, and they were both wary when they saw their mother spending time with Ashley and Phyllis.

Victoria and Nick and asked what was going on. Nikki said she, Phyllis and Ashley were just working on a project. Nick asked if it was a charity thing, and Victoria reminded Nikki that she’d already used that excuse in the past. Nick added that the last time they’d said something like that, they were trying to hide a body. Phyllis said they were just working on a beautification project for the city. Ashley and Phyllis exited. Nick hoped that whatever Nikki was doing didn’t get her in trouble. Nikki shifted gears and asked how things went with firing Sally. They brought her up to speed on the decision to let Sally stay. Nikki left for the office. Nick wondered what Nikki, Phyllis and Ashley were really up to. Victoria had no idea, and she was just glad she wasn’t involved. Victoria was more concerned about Adam, because if he really broke things off with Sally, he was going to be even more emotionally unstable, and he might lash out.

Nick couldn’t wait to see how Summer reacted to them giving Sally a second chance. Victoria didn’t realize they were still rivals. Nick said Summer would never forgive Sally. He thought Summer was a lot like Phyllis when it came to holding grudges. He felt Sally was creative and fiery, and that was the kind of person they needed in the job. He was starting to think Adam broke up with Sally so she could keep the job. Victoria asked if Adam was doing something noble. Nick said it wouldn’t be the first time.

Adam went to the GCAC looking for Ashland. Adam’s knocking went unanswered. He talked a housekeeper to let him into the room by explaining that Ashland had a heart condition. They found the room trashed. The housekeeper began to clean, and she said Ashland must be a troublemaker. Ashland came home and demanded to know why they were in his suite. Adam said he was worried after Ashland dropped out of contact. Referencing the state of the room, Adam asked if Ashland had been robbed and if they should call the police.

Ashland sent the housekeeper away with a tip and a promise to clean things up himself. Adam asked if Ashland went on a bender. Ashland said he’d been in jail, not that it was any of Adam’s business. Adam realized that was why Ashland stopped answering his calls. He assumed Ashland went to jail for violating the restraining order and seeing Harrison. Ashland explained that he’d mistakenly thought he had an ally in Diane. Adam said he could’ve warned Ashland that everyone who trusted Diane lived to regret it. Ashland said that Diane took Harrison to the park, let him spend time with his son, then the cops came. Adam said Diane decided to use Ashland to score points with the Newmans. Ashland was pretty sure Victor arranged the whole thing. Adam thought that sounded like his dad. He asked what Ashland was going to do about it.

Adam helped Ashland set a couch upright and put the cushions in place. Ashland wanted Adam to leave. Adam said that his family was going to leak Ashland’s arrest to the press. Ashland found it hard to believe that Adam cared about him. Adam said it could’ve just as easily been him in the family’s crosshairs. In fact, Adam figured the family would probably target him when they were finished destroying Ashland. Adam said his dad only used him, and his brother and sister made him think he could earn their loyalty and trust, but it wasn’t true.

Ashland knew Adam wasn’t concerned for his well being. He wondered why Adam really came. Adam said he needed an ally, however tenuous. There weren’t a lot of people he could be open with about his anger toward his family. Ashland told Adam to go cry on Sally’s shoulder. Adam said that their relationship was over, because Sally couldn’t stay in a relationship with him and keep her job at Newman Media. Ashland mistakenly thought Sally broke up with Adam to keep her job, and Adam didn’t correct him. Adam said he and Ashland were in the same position, with little left to lose. Ashland said that people could say Adam was in the same position as Diane – hoping to score points with Victor to get back into his good graces. Adam understood why Ashland would be skeptical after Victoria and Diane turned on him, but he said he was done with the Newmans. Ashland recalled Victoria saying that exact same thing, right before she took 250 million dollars from him. Adam pointed out that Ashland was the one who said they’d be natural allies. Adam repeated the old saying that the enemy of his enemy was his friend. Ashland asked what Adam would do in his shoes. “That’s easy. I would wreck everything. I would burn it all down,” Adam replied.

Ashland wanted exact details on what Adam would do. Adam thought it was obvious: to really hit Victor where it hurt you had to go after the company – his life’s work. Adam noted that Ashland had experience dismantled companies and sending their founders spiraling into bankruptcy for things that were nothing compared to what Victor put him through. Since this was a personal matter, Ashland planned to go in a different direction. Adam asked what Ashland was going to do. Ashland was going to do Adam a favor and give him plausible deniability, so when his family later asked if he knew what was going to happen, he honestly could say no. adam said he could help by getting into Victor’s head. Ashland said that you didn’t have to get too far inside Victor’s head to see that the company was not the most important thing to him. He stated that Victor had gone to extremes to protect his precious oldest daughter. Adam assumed realized Ashland was going after Victoria. Ashland said he and Adam weren’t going to be working together. Adam suggested they should talk this through. Ashland wasn’t interested. He showed Adam the door.

After Adam found out Ashland was going target Victoria, he went to her office, but she wasn’t there. He thought about calling her, but he didn’t do it. Meanwhile, Sally called him and left a message saying that if he only broke up with her so she could keep the job, she didn’t want the job. Adam listened to his voicemail and heard the message.

“Skymed” on Paramount+ Review by Suzanne 7/20/22

This show reminds me a little bit of “Chicago Med” or “Chicago Fire,” with a bit of “ER” thrown in. What makes it unusual is that it takes place in northern Canada, in the wilderness. It’s a Canadian show, but we’re seeing it down here on streaming. Most of the actors are newbies, and Canadian, but you’ll probably recognize veteran actor Aaron Ashmore, who plays Weezer, the senior person on the team.

Every ensemble show like this starts from a new person’s point of view, so we, the audience, can learn who is who and what is what. In this show, it’s nurse Hayley, played by Natasha Calis. She has left the big city to get away to the wilderness, but we don’t know why. She’s not the only one, either.

There’s quite a bit of action and adventure in the show to keep your attention. It remains to be seen whether it ever rises above the level of your average broadcast network TV show.

"Flowers in the Attic: The Origin" key art

“Flowers in the Attic: The Origin” on Lifetime Review by Suzanne 7/20/22

“Flowers in the Attic: The Origin” This is the prequel miniseries to the classic movie “Flowers in the Attic,” which I’ve never seen. It apparently involved a stern religious grandmother who locks her grandchildren in the attic. There is incest and rape in that drama. This shows how the grandma got to that point. Both are based on novels. “Flowers in the Attic” came out in 1979 from the pen of V.C. Andrews. She wrote many sequels, but only the first book was filmed (twice). This new miniseries is based on “Garden of Shadows” by Andrew Neiderman, who is now taking over V.C. Andrews’ characters.

I’ve only seen the first part so far, but I enjoyed it. I’m not a big fan of prequels because we know how the characters are going to end up (and it’s usually not good). There are many great actors in this. Most of them, such as Kelsey Grammar and Harry Hamlin, play small parts and aren’t on screen very long. Kate Mulgrew (“Star Trek: Prodigy”) and Paul Wesley (“Star Trek: Strange New Worlds”) also play small roles. I wasn’t familiar with any of the main stars of the miniseries, but Max Irons, who plays the husband, is the son of Jeremy Irons. He does a good job.

The main star of the show is Jemima Rooper, who plays Olivia (the aforementioned Grandma). She is excellent as the woman who starts out as the bookish maiden but becomes first a victim of horrible circumstances and then gets steely and strong (but ultimately, not very nice, I’m afraid).

You should check it out whether or not you like the “Flowers in the Attic” books or movies as it’s compelling drama (if a bit lurid at times).

Interview with Jemima Rooper, Max Irons, T’Shan Williams, Alana Boden and Paul Sciarrotta of “Flowers in the Attic: The Origin” on Lifetime 6/22/22

MORE INFORMATION:

Flowers in the Attic: The Origin tells the story of the headstrong and determined Olivia Winfield (Rooper) who is working alongside her beloved father (Hamlin) when she finds herself unexpectedly wooed by one of the nation’s most eligible bachelors, Malcom Foxworth (Irons). After a whirlwind romance, Olivia finds herself as the mistress of the imposing Foxworth Hall, where she soon discovers that the fairytale life she expected has quickly become a nightmare. Under Malcolm’s debonair exterior lies a dark heart, and a twisted evil lurks inside Foxworth Hall that will threaten Olivia’s happiness and that of her children. Her attempts to keep them all safe ultimately push Olivia to become to most terrifying version of herself, leading to her inevitable—and notorious—decision to lock her grandchildren in the attic…

"Moonhaven" key art

“Moonhaven” on AMC+ Review by Suzanne 7/20/22

I really enjoy this show. It’s an original sci-fi show that creates an interesting world of the future. Because of the ways mankind has destroyed the Earth, a team of scientists and colonists were sent to the moon to terraform some of it (with the help of an AI) into Moon Haven and figure out a way to improve the Earth for everyone. Now the people on the moon are ready to bring their Utopian ideas back to earth, but some people on earth are skeptical. Others have their own selfish motives.

Bella Sway (Emma McDonald) is a pilot who is skeptical of everything, especially the lunars. Everything is discovered through her eyes. She meets an interesting bodyguard, Tomm (Joe Manganiello) and the famous Indira Mare (Amara Karan) who communicates with the AI. A woman is murdered on Moon Haven, and two detectives investigate. The two provide a lot of humor as well as some pathos, ably played by Dominic Monaghan (Paul) and Kadeem Hardison (Arlo). There are a lot of interesting characters, and many levels of intrigue. I think any scifi fan will enjoy it.

Right now it’s airing on AMC+, but it may move to regular AMC at some point (for those of you who still have cable TV). Check it out! You can see the first episode on YouTube for free.

Review of “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow – The Seventh and Final Season”

Posted on July 20, 2022September 10, 2023 by TvMegasite Admin

DVD Review!

“DC’s Legends of Tomorrow – The Seventh and Final Season” Review by Suzanne 7/20/22

I love this show and never miss it! I’m still very disappointed that it was canceled. I try to console myself with the fact that 7 seasons is a long time for any TV show, let alone one that is about superheroes and people who can do magic. What set this show apart from the others in the Arrowverse is the comedic tone they developed around season 3. Now, personally, I loved the show before it became more of a comedy, and I preferred it more as a regular superhero show. I know I’m in the minority on this, though. Also, I really loved Rip Hunter, and the actor who played him (Arthur Darvill), so I was sad to see him go. This show has always had many characters coming and going. I think that may be one of the reasons that it’s been so low-rated. I think it was especially hard after Ray Palmer left because he was such a great character. I was very happy when they brought in Constantine, though, as I love that character. I had watched his one-season NBC show, and so it was a great joy when they brought the same actor in to play him (Matt Ryan). I really wasn’t too fond of what they did last season and this season with Constantine and the actor, even though it did keep the actor around longer. At any rate, I did love the show and was sad to see it canceled, despite all of the changes.

I’m very glad to get this DVD set, so I can re-watch the episodes any time I want. Also, it has a few great features, such as highlights from the SDCC panels, unaired scenes, gag reels and a feature spotlighting the show’s 100th episode. I think you will love it, too. Make sure you go back and watch the first 6 seasons, though, or you may not appreciate this season as much. There’s no question in my mind that what really made this show great was actress Caity Lotz, who played Sarah, the heroes’ leader throughout most of the series. One final warning: The series does end on a bit of a cliffhanger. It’s nothing that would ruin the series, though. I like it when you can picture the show’s heroes continuing on long after the TV series is dead, and this finale does that (as “Supergirl” also did).

Update written by Joseph

Sarah questions Xander wanting to get married today. Xander points out that if Kristen hadn’t taken her to that island, they’d be celebrating their one year anniversary by now so he doesn’t want to wait unless she’s changed her mind. Sarah assures that she can’t wait to marry him but asks if he doesn’t want a wedding with his friends and family. Xander says his only friend just reminded me there’s no guarantees in life so you have to seize the day. Xander declares that the only person he needs for a real wedding is her, so he asks her to marry him today. Sarah says yes and they kiss. Sarah then tells him he can put the ring back on her finger now.

Gwen sits in her prison cell with a book and finds pages missing. A guard then brings in Kristen DiMera as Gwen’s new cellmate.

Nancy runs in to Leo in the town square and asks if he’s heard the news. Leo guesses she’s joining the circus and asks what her news is. Nancy says it’s all about Clyde and asks what’s it to him anyway. Nancy then reveals that Clyde was exonerated as he has an airtight alibi for the night Abigail was killed. Leo says he’s shocked. Nancy says she told him that he was innocent and the only thing he’s guilty of is buying a piece of stolen jewelry. Nancy declares that the person he bought it from is the real killer.

Marlena hypnotizes Lucas in the interrogation room. Marlena wants to take him back to June 10th and asks where he was. Lucas recalls being at the Brady Pub with Kate and she just told him that Abigail knows the truth that he kidnapped Sami. Marlena asks what happened next. Lucas says he was freaking out as he knows that if Abigail tells anybody then that’s it for him. Lucas adds that Kate tried to tell him that Abigail wouldn’t say anything but he didn’t believe her and then Kate left. Lucas recalls stealing a bottle of liquor from behind the bar. Marlena asks him what happened next.

Gwen questions Kristen being her new cellmate and says she’s a bit surprised, asking how a mastermind criminal like her ends up here. Kristen says it was by choice. Gwen guesses the authorities finally caught up to her then. Kristen says she could’ve outrun them for the rest of her life but she missed her daughter and couldn’t bear the thought of never seeing her again. Gwen complains about being behind bars and now having to bunk with the woman who destroyed her relationship with the love of her life.

Sarah asks Xander if he still has the ring since Kristen gave it back to him. Xander reveals that he no longer has it. Sarah asks if he threw it away when he thought she broke her heart. Xander assures he wouldn’t do that but he sold it because there was something he really needed to buy. Sarah asks what that was. Xander then pulls out another ring which Sarah notes is very different from her original one. Xander then admits he had bought the ring for Gwen. Sarah questions him selling her ring to buy one for Gwen. Xander tries to explain how he thought there was no hope for them and thought she ran off with Rex. Sarah remarks that was before she was given a second dose of a mind altering drug by the woman he was about to marry. Xander assures that he never would’ve bought the ring if he knew what Gwen was capable of. Sarah understands why Gwen was so desperate to hang on to him, but wish she chose to do something less extreme. Xander knows Gwen put her life in danger and says he’ll never forgive her. Sarah suggests forgetting her then. Sarah points out that her meds are working so it’s probable that her hallucinations have stopped. Xander hopes so since he knows how terrifying it’s been for her to see Kristen. Sarah adds that she wanted to kill Kristen when she envisioned her, so she’s really glad there was always a third person there to talk her down or else she could’ve really hurt someone…

Kristen remarks that Gwen wouldn’t have been with Xander if she hadn’t shipped Sarah off to that island. Gwen mocks being grateful to Kristen and says she’s in prison because of her. Kristen argues that Gwen isn’t smart enough to stay out of prison. Gwen complains that she’s the one who helped keep Kristen out of prison since she blackmailed her in to helping her escape or else she’d tell Xander the truth. Kristen reminds Gwen that when Xander started looking in to the truth, she’s the one who gave Gwen the mask to pose as Sarah. Gwen talks about convincing Xander as “Sarah” to be with her. Kristen argues that she gave Gwen everything she needed to walk down the aisle with Xander, but Abigail is the one who got in her way, so if she wants to blame someone for destroying her relationship, she can blame her little sister.

Leo informs Nancy that the cops already have someone in custody for Abigail’s murder and shows her his tablet. Nancy is shocked that it’s Lucas Horton, calling that impossible since he’s Abigail’s uncle and loved her. Leo points out that Lucas also loved Sami, yet he’s accused of kidnapping her so it sounds like he was on quite a crime spree. Nancy argues that she’s known Lucas for years and he’s incapable of murder. Nancy guesses it must be the brain tumor which Leo questions. Nancy then remembers Lucas made that up. Leo questions Lucas lying about having a terminal illness and remarks that even he’s never sunk that low. Leo adds that Lucas sure sounds guilty to him. Nancy acknowledges that Lucas has done some terrible things but he would never have killed Abigail. Nancy declares that the police are barking up the wrong tree and storms off.

A woman enters the Brady Pub as Clyde is blaming Rafe for the fact that he could lose everything. Clyde threatens to sue Rafe and the rest of the cops for false arrest. The woman interrupts and says Clyde could sue, but he’d lose, as Rafe had every right to bring him in since he was in possession of stolen property which was linked to a murder. Clyde argues that he was wronged by the cops, so he is going to hold them accountable. She warns that if Clyde sues, what he did to EJ DiMera will likely get dragged in to this. Clyde questions how she knows about that. She says it is EJ’s word against his, but a good prosecutor could build a strong case against him and she hears that Melinda Trask is desperate for a win and will do anything to get it. She suggests Clyde back off. Clyde questions who the hell she is. She then introduces herself as Jada Hunter. Clyde decides to take his break and walks off. Rafe stands up and admits that was very impressive. Jada asks if that means she’s hired.

Sarah asks Xander what he’s going to do with the ring. Xander responds that he’ll trade it back to the pawn shop where he sold her ring and get it back. Sarah asks if he thinks they still have it. Xander says he’s very optimistic. Sarah decides they just need someone to officiate the wedding then. Xander suggests Maggie since she got ordained online last year and married Justin and Bonnie. Sarah jokes that she bet Victor loved that. Xander says he heard Victor behaved himself and it was a lovely ceremony. Xander adds that there’s a rumor going around that Bonnie and Victor are getting along well, so if that’s possible then pulling off their wedding should be a piece of cake. They declare they are really doing this and then they kiss.

Gwen questions Kristen wanting her to blame Abigail for her troubles. Kristen guesses she can’t blame her that much since she’s dead, but tells her not to take her frustrations out on her. Gwen feels it doesn’t leave much people to take it out on. Kristen brings up that Abigail was viciously murdered, stabbed repeatedly in her own bed, so clearly whoever did that was filled with rage. Gwen suggests it was a robbery and Abigail was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Kristen thinks this was personal and that whoever came at Abigail with the knife, hated her with a passion like Gwen. Kristen says that Gwen despised her sister for exposing her right before she was about to marry the love of her life and she took it all away. Gwen asks if she’s her prime suspect then and suggests she’s been reading too much. Kristen asks if she’s saying she didn’t have a motive. Gwen admits that she did but she couldn’t have killed Abigail because she was locked up in prison.

Marlena asks if Lucas stayed at the Pub and drank the bottle that he stole. Lucas tells her that he went to the park as he was beyond upset and knew that if Abigail told anyone what he had done, he’d lose Sami and everything. Lucas says he just wanted to forget so he kept drinking, but then he left the park. Marlena asks where he went. Lucas recalls going to the DiMera Mansion, knocking on the door and shouting that he needed to talk to Abigail now. Lucas realizes that he was there and went to see Abigail.

Nancy finds Clyde outside the Pub and says she heard he was released. Clyde says it’s good to be out and even better to see her. Nancy heard he has an airtight alibi with security footage from the dock. Clyde is glad he was caught fishing. Nancy is glad as she knows he’s done questionable things but she knew there was no way he could’ve killed Abigail in cold blood. Clyde swears he did not commit that crime but admits that not all of his misdeeds are in the past. Nancy asks what he means. Clyde feels he owes her an apology because it was wrong of him to give her the stolen bracelet.

Xander bumps into Leo in the town square, dropping the engagement ring which Leo picks up and mocks. Xander takes it back and tells him that he and Sarah are getting married together. Leo asks what about Gwen. Xander argues that Gwen destroyed he and Sarah’s relationship when she poisoned Sarah with the second dose of Dr. Rolf’s drug. Leo remarks that Sarah must be okay now if they are getting married today. Xander clarifies that Gwen didn’t cause any permanent damage but Sarah has been struggling for months and just figured out her dose so she’s finally back in her right mind. Leo asks if he’s sure about that since she’d have to be nuts to marry him with that ring. Leo argues that Gwen only did what she did because she loved him and he led her to believe that he loved her too. Leo remarks that it wasn’t that long ago that Xander was putting a ring on Gwen’s finger as he then walks away.

Kristen asks about Gwen being in prison when Abigail was murdered. Gwen thinks back to sneaking back in to the visiting room where the guard questioned where she had been. Gwen tehn tells Kristen that she was in prison thanks to Abigail outing her at her wedding, so she was already serving her time here. Gwen adds that since she was locked up, it should be obvious that she could not have possibly killed Abigail. Kristen supposes that would be an airtight alibi to a regular person but a criminal mastermind like her knows plenty of ways to get in and out of prison. Gwen says Kristen had someone that looked exactly like her to take her place while she has no twin, no friends, and no way out. Kristen guesses Gwen’s right then that she has an alibi.

Sarah goes to the Kiriakis Mansion and greets Maggie. Sarah asks her what’s wrong. Maggie says she was just reading about Lucas and she’s still trying to process that he kidnapped Sami. Sarah guesses some people just go to extremes for love. Maggie adds that as awful as that was, she cannot believe that Lucas is the one that murdered Abigail. Sarah doesn’t think so either but says it does sound like he fell off the wagon pretty hard. Maggie guesses Lucas was in a very dark and desperate place which she knows about herself. Maggie declares that the Lucas she knows is not capable of that kind of violence. Sarah agrees. Maggie wishes someone would convince the police.

Rafe tells Jada that he appreciates the assist with Clyde but they still have to go through the formality of the interview. Jada notes that Steve let her know that he is very diligent. Rafe adds that Steve had many good things to say about Jada as well and couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Jada states that Steve was one of her father’s oldest friends so he can take that with a grain of salt. They talk about Jada’s father, Marcus Hunter, who Jada notes was a doctor in Salem for years and always said it was a great place to live. Jada says when she heard they were down a couple detectives, she took the opportunity to call in on the Abigail DiMera case. Jada asks Rafe about Clyde’s alibi. Rafe assures that it’s rock solid but they do have another suspect in custody. Jada says she heard about Lucas but it doesn’t seem like they have much to hold him on. Rafe admits the evidence is thin but they are working on that now.

Marlena questions Lucas about going to the DiMera Mansion that night. Lucas recalls banging on the door and yelling for Abigail. Marlena asks if she answered. Lucas says that she didn’t, so he tried the door but it was locked. Marlena asks if Lucas then left. Lucas admits he did not and he went in through the side doors, looking for Abigail but she wasn’t in the living room so he decided to fix himself a drink and wait. Lucas remembers he was slicing a lemon and the knife slipped which is how he cut his hand. Marlena asks what he did next and if he left. Lucas says he wrapped his hand and started slicing another lemon for his drink which is when he heard a noise upstairs.

Gwen says there are so many things she wishes she did differently. Kristen calls regrets a waste of time. Gwen responds that all she has is time. Gwen admits Kristen was right that if she had been more clever and careful and not made stupid mistakes, she’d still be with Xander. Kristen argues that Gwen is better off without Xander and calls him a monster, who made her think her baby was dead. Gwen argues that was only because she couldn’t bear to tell Sarah that she lost her baby. Kristen questions doing it for love making it okay. Gwen clarifies that she didn’t say that. Kristen declares that what Xander did was sick, wrong, and twisted. Kristen acknowledges that Sarah did give her Rachel back even if she did have to chase her to Paris. Gwen asks if she doesn’t blame Sarah then. Kristen says that she doesn’t because she was a grieving mother but Xander made her pain worse with his lies. Kristen tells Gwen that if Sarah wants to be with Xander, let her have him. Kristen encourages Gwen to just sit back, relax, and watch their relationship combust on it’s own. Gwen doesn’t think that’s ever going to happen. Kristen is unsure because Sarah is still a little bit off.

Maggie tells Sarah that as worried as she is about Lucas, she wants to hear how Sarah is doing. Sarah responds that she’s doing better as her hallucinations are under control thanks to her meds and she hasn’t seen Kristen in a couple days which is good. Maggie is glad as she was really worried that what Gwen did to her would keep her from getting on with her life. Sarah doesn’t think she has to worry as she is hopeful for the future and she wants to seize the day. Sarah then asks if Maggie is busy. Maggie says she’s not and asks why. Sarah announces that she and Xander were wondering if Maggie would marry them because they don’t want to wait. Sarah adds that Xander is picking up her ring as they speak and then they’ll be good to go. Maggie asks if she’s sure that’s what she wants. Sarah says more than anything. Maggie knows that’s what Xander wants as she saw him while Sarah was gone and he was a broken man. Maggie states that Xander never got over her. Sarah responds that he doesn’t have to because she’s back and they can finally start their life together.

Jada asks if Rafe found the murder weapon. Rafe says not yet, but there is another person of interest in the mix which he’s looking in to but Clyde’s description has been less than helpful so at the moment, they are focusing on Lucas. Rafe decides he should get back to the station to see if there’s anything new and asks Jada if she’s coming. Jada asks if that means she got the job. Rafe welcomes her to the Salem police department and they shake hands.

Marlena asks Lucas about what he heard upstairs. Lucas responds that he’s not sure. Marlena asks what he did next. Lucas remembers walking towards the foyer and hearing a commotion so he stopped and he saw someone rushing down the stairs towards the front door. Marlena questions who it was. Lucas’s eyes open wide as he shouts “Oh my God!”

Maggie asks Sarah if she’s almost ready. Sarah then enters the living room in her wedding dress and jokes that it’s not bad after months of storage on a tropical island. Maggie says she looks beautiful. Xander walks in and agrees. Sarah tells him that she’s not complete without him. Xander then reveals that he got her ring back which she is thrilled by. Xander puts the ring on her finger and says he would’ve gone to the ends of the earth to track it down for her as they kiss. Sarah declares that now all they need are wedding bands which Xander presents her with. Maggie decides they have everything now so they will make them husband and wife.

Clyde wishes he could tell Nancy how much he’d like to just go to a fancy jewelry store and buy the most expensive bracelet they have, but he can’t afford that. Clyde says if he’s going to give her the kind of present she deserves, he has to cut corners. Nancy tells him that he doesn’t have to buy her fancy gifts to impress her. Clyde figured that’s what she’s used to and that Craig would give her anything she wanted. Nancy responds that’s except for what she wanted the most, a man who loves her. Clyde questions Craig not loving her. Nancy explains that Craig was never in love with her and spent years lying to her and to himself. Clyde calls that tough. Nancy tells Clyde that the best and most valuable thing that he could ever give her is honesty. Clyde declares that from here on out, it’s nothing but the God’s honest truth, though he does have to say that even though he lied about he acquired the bracelet, he was not lying about who he got it from. Clyde just wishes he could remember exactly what the guy looked like.

Rafe brings Jada to the police station and directs her to a desk. Marlena comes out from the interrogation room. Rafe introduces Jada to Marlena as the psychiatrist who hypnotized Lucas. Rafe asks Marlena how it went and if Lucas was able to remember anything about the night Abigail was murdered. Marlena confirms that he absolutely did.

Nancy informs Clyde that the police have someone in custody now. Clyde notes that she doesn’t sound too happy about that. Nancy explains that she’s known this person for years and doesn’t think it’s possible for him to have killed Abigail. Nancy shows Clyde a picture of Lucas Horton, asking if that’s the person who sold him the bracelet. Clyde acknowledges that as Lucas, Kate’s son, and confirms it was not him. Clyde wishes he could figure out who this weasel was to make him pay for what he did. Nancy responds that that she just had to deal with her own weasel, Leo Stark, the man that her husband left her for. Clyde remarks that he did Nancy a favor then, and did him one too. Nancy calls that very sweet but says Leo Stark is pond scum and makes whoever sold him that bracelet look like a prince. Leo then comes around the corner and sees them. Clyde declares that if he finds out who it was, there’s going to be trouble.

Marlena returns to the interrogation room and tells Lucas that Rafe said not to worry as he’s on it.

Rafe calls Chad to give him a heads up that he’s bringing in a person of interest.

Maggie begins the wedding ceremony of Xander and Sarah. Maggie asks if anyone can offer just cause of why they should not get married. Jada then walks in and says she can.

Gwen asks Kristen what she means by saying Sarah seems off. Kristen responds that before she was transferred here, Sarah came to visit her at the police station and chewed her out for ruining her life and said she was still having hallucinations as apparently she sees her everywhere. Gwen mentions hearing that. Kristen guesses Sarah is still feeling the after effect of the second jab Gwen gave her. Kristen tells Gwen to cheer up because if Sarah is stuck in crazy town, then maybe she and Xander won’t be riding off into the sunset after all.

Young & The Restless Update

Y&R logo

Recap written by Christine

Victoria, Nick and Nikki were at the Newman office talking about the successful press conference. They touched on Adam’s absence, and Victoria said she guessed he was serious about walking away from the company. They talked about Newman Media. Nick thought, as Victoria previously said, that the company needed strong leadership. He said Sally didn’t have experience, and Adam would be pulling her strings, even though he said they broke up. Nikki didn’t hear about the breakup. She theorized that Adam just pretended to break up with Sally so they’d keep her on as CEO of the division. Victoria wanted to handle this as soon as possible. Nikki had a meeting to get to, so she left with the expectation that Nick and Victoria would be firing Sally.

Sally was relieved when Adam walked into her office. She tried to hug him, but he pushed her away. He revealed that he never went to Chicago. Instead he’d spent time thinking about the latest mind game Victor pulled on him, and he went over every move and counter-move they’d made. Sally asked why Adam didn’t tell her that or use her as a sounding board. He said he needed to be alone and he needed time to understand why he allowed himself to be manipulated into believing Victor believed in him. “He dangled the CEO position in front of me. I fell for it. Twice,” Adam said. Sally didn’t think Adam should beat himself up for trusting Victor. Adam was questioning everything he’d done since he came back to this town – everything he’d done to infuriate Victor, undermine his trust and question Adam’s fitness for the job. “I realized you are the reason I am on the outside. You are standing between me and everything that I want,” Adam stated.

Sally contended that Adam should blame his family, not her. She said she stood by him and believed in him. He said she sabotaged Victor’s granddaughter, she was despised by Victor’s inner circle, and she nearly sabotaged the Newman Media launch. She argued that Victor had accepted her and maybe even respected her a little – if he didn’t, she wouldn’t still have a job here. Adam said this made Victor stop respecting him. Adam didn’t deny Sally’s talent, but he said that having her as a fixture in his life cost him everything. She was near tears and asked why he was being so cruel. He said he was being honest. She thought he sounded crazy. He countered that the crazy thing was that he’d ever made the choice to be with her at all.

Adam sighed that he should’ve listened to his father and taken him seriously when he said Sally was bad news. Adam stated that Victor had a lot more concerns than Adam had let on. Sally asked why Adam hid this from her. He said he did it to spare her feelings. Adam said in time, Victor stopped raising objections, but he’d found another way to make his feelings known – by refusing to consider Adam a potential rightful heir of Newman Enterprises. Adam said he’d deluded himself into thinking he could prove himself worthy to Victor, but Victor’s mind was already made up, because Adam was with Sally. Sally didn’t buy any of this. “You don’t give a damn what your father thinks about me,” she argued. He told her that he cared about the consequences. He said this was who he was. He knew Sally had come into this with her eyes wide open, since she read Billy’s expose on Adam.

Sally said Adam told her he loved her and showed his love in ways that were impossible to fake. “I’m not saying that I didn’t love you. I’m just saying that I didn’t love you enough,” he replied. Wiping a tear, Sally reminded Adam he’d told her she was what he always needed, and she knew he was telling the truth. She asked how he could pretend he didn’t care. Sally theorized that Adam was embarking on an insane attempt to protect her from Victor and Victoria. “If you are distancing yourself from me so I can keep my job, I don’t want it. I don’t want it, not like this. You mean more to me,” she said. She told him that he could drop the act, and she’d forgive him.

Adam wasn’t interested in forgiveness, because there was no future for him and Sally. He said he didn’t want her in his life anymore. His priority was to regain his father’s respect and regaining respect for himself. He said he hated what his relationship with her cost him, and more than that, he hated what it turned him into. He said he’d become someone who griped that his daddy mistreated him. He wondered how he expected anyone to take him seriously like that. He said he had to get away from her and get back to being the kind of man who took what he wanted. He said whatever momentary pleasure he got from rubbing her in everyone’s face and whatever glee he derived from being with her, it wasn’t worth it. She said everyone was right about him – he was a self-serving bastard. He said she got a CEO job out of the deal, if she could hang onto it. She told him to go to hell. Adam left, and in the hallway, he looked upset. Victoria and Nick ran into Adam in the hallway. He said Sally was having a hard time accepting that they were through, and he’d hate to see her lose her job on top of everything. He said she was a loyal hard worker, and they should give her a chance.

Sally dried her tears when she heard the knock on the door. She showed Nick and Victoria in. she said she’d heard this so many times – this was the part where they told her it wasn’t working. She thought they were going to cast aside her potential and what she was currently accomplishing, because they just wanted to play the game. She thought they were so busy swapping out nameplates in the executive suite that they were unaware of what she’d accomplished here. She felt she’d earned the right to be judged on her own achievements regardless of her relationship with Adam. She said she’d worked night and day studying the history of the company and reimagining its future. She’d established a clear mission statement and she was building contacts that mattered, and it was having an impact, not that any of the Newmans were paying attention. She continued her passionate speech about the changes she’d made and her future ideas for the company. While fighting tears and referencing her personal life, she said this had this had been one of the greatest opportunities of her life, and she’d really miss the office, among other things. She asked them to get this over with so she could pack up her things and get out of their hair. Nick pulled Victoria aside for a private talk in the hallway.

Nick was impressed with Sally. Victoria said Sally was scrambling to keep her job. Nick thought that you could see what a person was really made of when their back was against the wall. He said the job meant everything to Sally. He also felt that Sally had good ideas and her vision was what they were looking for. Back inside he office, Sally picked up her nameplate and cried.

Jack and Ashley were at Society. She said his granddaughter was a star in the lab. A proud Jack said Allie was Keemo’s daughter. Ashley said Allie was smart and intuitive like her father. Jack missed out with Keemo, and having Allie here was a dream come true. Jack said no special favors for Allie though. Ashley said Allie had made it clear that she didn’t want special treatment because she was an Abbott. Ashley wanted to know why Jack and Phyllis weren’t joined at the hip anymore. She was convinced Phyllis did something.

Jack said Phyllis lured him into a romantic assignation at her hotel, then she contrived to have Diane see what Jack foolishly thought was an intimate moment. Jack said what he thought was a giant step in his relationship with Phyllis, she saw as an opportunity to send Diane a message. He didn’t want Ashley to let this fuel her animosity toward Phyllis. Ashley asked why Phyllis couldn’t have seen that event as a giant step in the relationship and an opportunity to send Diane a message. Phyllis was not Ashley’s favorite person, but they all knew what Diane was capable of, so it made sense that Phyllis would want to set some boundaries.

Jack thought Ashley was telling him to forgive Phyllis. Ashley said she was the last person who’d defend what Phyllis did to him. However, when Jack got back from LA, she saw a light in his eye that she hadn’t seen in a long time. He said it was because he found out about Allie. She was sure that was part of it, but she also got the feeling that he’d been falling back in love with Phyllis while they were in LA. He said Ashley was right, and that made Phyllis’ betrayal more painful. Ashley understood that, and in any other circumstance, she’d agree, but she thought Phyllis deserved another chance. She said that when it came to fighting Diane, all bets were off, and she reminded him that he used to know that.

“If things were so great with you and Phyllis why did she feel that she had the need to let Diane know where things stood with you?,” Ashley asked. Jack said he couldn’t fathom why Phyllis did the things she did, but Ashley said that wasn’t true. She said he knew Phyllis acted out when she felt wronged. He wanted to drop this, and she said no. ashley said Jack was clearly on the road to forgiving Diane, after all the horrible things she’d done, yet he wouldn’t forgive Phyllis. Ashley conceded that Phyllis did something twisted, but she said Phyllis did it to protect her relationship with Jack. Ashley thought Jack’s feelings for Diane were a lot more complicated than he was letting on.

Jack contended that what was going on between him and Phyllis had nothing to do with Diane. “You cannot possibly be that dumb,” Ashley replied. She didn’t spend much time with Jack, but she could see he had complicated feelings for Diane. She suggested it was compassion because of Kyle and Harrison. Jack said he was just trying to be fair. Ashley told Jack to imagine how Phyllis felt seeing Jack bend over backward for someone she despised and did horrible things to her. Jack said he was doing this for Kyle. He felt that Diane deserved to know her son, given how she handled everything that had been thrown at her since she returned. Ashley was adamant that Diane was not Jack’s friend. Jack said that Phyllis had a penchant for self-sabotage. He’d given Phyllis many chances, and he couldn’t go through this again. He insisted that Ashley drop this. He saw that she needed the last word, so he told her to go ahead. She said that things with Diane were never as simple as they seemed. He saw a dejected Adam walk in and decided to go check on him. Ashley grumbled about Jack’s need to befriend every pariah in town. She said he was way too forgiving, except when it came to Phyllis.

Ashley left. Jack joined Adam, who said he wasn’t in the mood for company. Jack said that was why he was staying. He knew that look on Adam’s face, and he’d been there himself. Jack saw the press conference. He hoped that Victoria was right about Adam moving on to other ventures. Adam said he understood Jack’s feud with Victor – Victor was relentless. “You think he’s doing one thing and in reality he’s doing something completely different. By the time you catch up, he’s just changed the rules,” Adam said. Jack congratulated Adam for catching on. Adam said you’d think Victor would learn there was only so far you could push a man before he pushed back. Jack noted that this wasn’t the first time Victor did something like this. Adam said it was different this time, and there was no going back. Jack didn’t want Adam to give in to his worst impulses, like Victor would expect him to. Ashland was shown stewing in his jail cell, while Adam’s voice over said it would be pointless for him to go after his father. “I am the last person that he needs to worry about,” Adam said.

Allie and Noah were at Crimson Lights. He said she’d been exactly what she needed, and she stuck around and listened while he figured out the New Hope thing. He was sure most people would’ve told him to shut up. Allie said Noah was about to seriously disappoint his father, and those things had to be handled carefully. He was bothered that she said that, but she felt she was helping him. She said that by pointing out the worst thing that could happen, it would build his immunity to it. She said his father was kind, understanding and laid back, but this wouldn’t be an easy conversation. He joked that he could bring her along and let her blurt out the secret. She said most of the time she was a vault. She wasn’t sure why she blurted out the secret to his sister and her wife earlier. He suggested that he made her nervous, due to his devilish good looks or his unique humor. She joked that she was afraid he’d make a joke, and she’d have to laugh in pity.

Allie was sorry for telling Mariah and Tessa. He said it was fine, since he wanted Mariah and Tessa’s opinion almost as much as he wanted hers. She didn’t think she should get credit for that, since he made the decision on his own. He told her to take the compliment and live in the moment. Phyllis approached and told Allie and Noah how cute they were. Phyllis then gushed over Allie getting a job at Jabot. Phyllis said she was once CEO of Jabot, and she could give Allie some insight into how things run over there. Phyllis wanted to chat right now, but Noah made up a flimsy excuse about he and Allie having a “thing” they had to get to. Allie went with it and they walked off. Diane walked up and commented that Phyllis could really clear a room.

“We both know that Noah and Allie didn’t have a thing to go to. They’re trying to get away from you,” Diane said. She theorized that Allie picked up on Phyllis’s plan to befriend her in hopes that Allie would talk her up to Jack. Phyllis denied doing that. Diane said it wasn’t a good look for Phyllis to use Jack’s granddaughter. Phyllis said she just said hi to Allie. Diane said Phyllis dug a hole for herself. Phyllis refused to play Diane’s game. Diane said Phyllis toyed with Jack to make a point to Diane. Phyllis considered those fighting words. Diane asked if Phyllis was accusing her of breaking their peace treaty. Phyllis sarcastically said Diane would never do that. Phyllis thought Diane was being paranoid to accuse her of plotting by talking to Allie. Diane said it was a shame Phyllis screwed up the relationship with Jack that was so important to her. Diane crowed about getting closer to Kyle and Harrison. She mentioned her job and said she, Kyle, Jack and Summer were part of the big Jabot family.

Diane said her life was in such a good place that she didn’t want things to be adversarial with her and Phyllis. Diane said that Phyllis needed to accept that she was a permanent fixture. Phyllis countered that things didn’t last forever. Nikki walked up and called Diane delusional for thinking she was a permanent fixture. Diane was pleased she could bring together two women who despised each other. Nikki and Phyllis agreed that Diane’s confidence was going to cause her to let her guard down. Diane said she enjoyed being the center of attention.

Ashley walked up and joined Phyllis and Nikki in sniping about Diane. Phyllis said Diane pretended to be a doting grandmother. Diane smiled and said Harrison called her Dee Dee. Ashley predicted that when Harrison grew up and learned who Diane really was, he’d become the object of her machinations, just like Kyle. All three were convinced Diane would ruin her relationship with Harrison. Diane had to go, but she said she’d give their love to Kyle, Summer and Jack. After Diane left, the three remaining ladies agreed that something needed to be done about Diane. They lamented that Diane was getting a free pass by Kyle, Michael and Jack. They all felt that Diane was using Kyle to get to Jack. They rattled off Diane’s misdeeds – she framed Phyllis for arson, and she slept with Ashley’s fiance then blackmailed her, and she framed Nikki for murder. Phyllis wondered if the three of them ould do something about Diane. Phyllis wasn’t sure since they couldn’t stand to be in the same room with each other. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend,” Nikki replied. “At least temporarily,” Ashley said. They decided to pool their talents and get Diane out of their lives forever.

Allie and Noah went to the Abbott house. She was grateful he got her out of the conversation with Phyllis. She said Phyllis was trying to use her to get more information about Jack and the other Abbotts. She thought there was some kind of drama going on. He thought that was guaranteed if Phyllis was involved. He likened Phyllis to a force of nature, like an earthquake or forest fire. He said Phyllis didn’t understand boundaries, so if she crossed one, Allie would have to tell her. On the other hand, he said Phyllis had a good heart and she’d move mountains for the people she loved, like Summer. Allie said Summer and Phyllis seemed so different. Noah seemed Summer took after their dad – the steady presence in the hurricane that balanced everything out. Allie encouraged Noah to tell Nick about stepping away from New Hope. She knew it wouldn’t be easy, but Nick was a good dad, and good dads wanted their kids to be happy. She knew from experience. He thanked her for that and for everything, then he kissed her.

Phyllis: Hey. Why are you still here? I thought Victoria scraped you off of the bottom of her shoe.

Ashland: Beat it, Phyllis.

Phyllis: Not beating it. I can be here.

Ashland: Yeah. Okay, fine. I admit I am not the guy who decides who comes and goes in this park. In fact, I don’t decide much of anything these days.

Phyllis: It must suck reaping what you sow.

Ashland: Boy, you really are enjoying gloating over my downfall, aren’t you?

Phyllis: I am.

Ashland: Oh.

Phyllis: I actually am. Yeah. What are you doing here? Honestly, I thought Victoria got rid of you. And I’m really impressed with her. Maybe I’ll give her a party at the Grand Phoenix for getting rid of you professionally and personally.

Ashland: That is a fantastic idea. You should get on that right now

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

Ashland: My gosh, just look at you. Is it possible you’ve grown like a foot since the last time I saw you?

Harrison: Maybe.

Ashland: Oh, then that means I’ve been away for way too long. I-I — I’m so sorry that we haven’t been able to spend more time together.

Harrison: I miss you, father.

Ashland: I miss you too, son. I’ve just been… I’ve been traveling. I’ve been very busy.

Harrison: With work?

Ashland: Yeah. Yeah. And I may have to leave again soon, so I’m really glad that I’m seeing you right now.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ashland: You’re looking for harrison?

Kyle: Where is he?

Ashland: Relax. You didn’t have to bring the cavalry.

Kyle: Where is my son?

Ashland: He’s fine. He’s right down there by the pond with your mother.

Michael: I see them.

Kyle: I’m gonna go get him.

Summer: No, you stay here and keep an eye on ashland. I’ll go check on harrison.

Ashland: [ Sighs ] So what’s the plan? You’re gonna keep me here until the cops arrive?

Michael: They’ll be here any second. So don’t even think about fleeing. There’s no way out. Too many witnesses here have seen you with harrison in direct violation of the restraining order.

Kyle: What the hell were you thinking?

Ashland: I was trying to reassure that little child that I haven’t abandoned him. That yet another person hasn’t walked out of his life. That’s my crime, and you want to have me arrested for it? For — for showing compassion and kindness to that child? Kyle, this is madness. I just wanted to have a moment with him, to hold him, to look him in the eye and to say goodbye. Are you all so cold that you actually think I’m a threat to him?

Nikki: You’re a threat to everyone you come in contact with. And now you’re finally going where you belong — a jail cell.

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: Everything is set for the press conference. We just have a few last things that we need to cover.

Victor: But, sweetheart, we only three of us here. Where’s your mother? And by the way, perhaps adam as well. How did your conversation with him go?

Nick: Yeah, I’d like to hear what adam has to say for himself.

Victoria: It went exactly as I predicted. He made a pitch for me to keep sally on as head of newman media. He went all out. But there was a surprising twist to his appeal. He said that he wouldn’t interfere in sally’s decision because they’ve broken up.

Sally: I love you, but in the interest of being a good partner, you need to call me back and let me know what is going on. You’re driving me absolutely crazy with this disappearing act and not in a good way.

[ Sighs ]

Chloe: Is everything okay?

Sally: Yeah. Everything is super, especially since I love uncertainty and being ignored.

Chloe: What’s going on?

Sally: I haven’t heard from adam since yesterday. He sent a brief text saying that he was going to chicago for the night and not to worry, but now he’s not responding, so I can’t help but worry.

Noah: Here we are, two mock mojitos.

Mariah: Thank you.

Noah: Thanks for agreeing to come out with me today. Wouldn’t have been much fun by myself.

Mariah: Well, then I’m glad you called us, because that’s one thing that tessa and I can do — bring the fun.

Tessa: It’s true. We’re a nonstop traveling carnival.

Noah: Oh, don’t I know it. I thought to myself, “who can light up a room the second they walk through the door?”

Mariah: Yeah, I’d say that’s us.

Noah: And apparently you bring swimwear to work, so that’s a plus.

Mariah: Well, we — we weren’t at work.

Noah: Oh, where were you?

Tessa: Um… at the doctor’S. I was getting a second opinion about my vocal nodes.

Noah: How’d it go?

Tessa: Not great.

Ashland: So the cops who are on their way, I assume they’re also on victor’s payroll, just like the judge who came up with this ridiculous restraining order?

Michael: I have no idea what you’re talking about. Everything here is on the up and up. Not everybody needs to be paid off to enforce the law.

Diane: Harrison’s fine. Summer’s with him now. They’re just looking at the ducks.

Kyle: Thank you.

Ashland: Yes, thank you so much, diane, for looking out for harrison’s best interests. You are a saint.

Diane: Just trying to protect my grandson.

Ashland: Really? From me? That’s why you set this up? This was your handiwork, wasn’t it?

Michael: You don’t have anyone to blame but yourself, locke.

Ashland: The hell I don’T.

Officer roberts: We received a report of a restraining order violation.

Nikki: Yes. That man right there.

Ashland: [ Sighs ] Okay, okay, look, officer, this is an innocent mistake. I just happened to be here going for a walk in the park. Harrison saw mE. He came running to me. I couldn’t turn my back on him. That would have been devastating for him. You must understand that. Do you have children?

Officer roberts: I’m just here to enforce the law, sir.

Ashland: Okay, okay. Can — can we just not make this a big thing, please? I don’t think harrison should see me getting arrested.

Kyle: I’ll go distract him right now.

Officer roberts: Are you coming voluntarily or do I need these?

Ashland: I’m not gonna fight this.

Michael: [ Chuckles ] That’s a relief. Good work, diane. Diane did the right thing, didn’t she, nikki? Michael: My tip is, the worst lies

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Nikki: Yes, diane did the right thing in telling us that ashland was here in violation of his restraining order.

Summer: Is he gone? Did they arrest him?

Michael: They did, thanks to diane.

Summer: I-is that true?

Nikki: It is. Diane is the one who alerted us while keeping harrison safe.

Diane: Well, I was in the right place at the right time, and I was happy to help. I hope this shows you that I’m one of the good guys, nikki.

Nikki: One decent move does not erase a lifetime of destruction.

Diane: It’s a start. But anyway, your opinion of me wasn’t my main concern. I did it for kyle and summer and my sweet little grandson.

Tessa: The doctor today had the same diagnosis as the first.

Noah: So what does that mean?

Mariah: Surgery.

Noah: [ Sighs ] When?

Tessa: Tomorrow.

Noah: That’s soon.

Tessa: Yeah, well, I already had it scheduled. I was hoping that the second opinion would be different from the first. But no luck.

Mariah: We are going to be very, very, very, very, very, very positive. Got it?

Noah: That’s a lot of positivity.

Mariah: Yes. It’s just the perfect amount, right?

Tessa: Yes. And that’s why we are so glad that you called so we could hang out by the pool and relax and not think about tomorrow.

Noah: Hey, I’m sure everything’s gonna be fine. The surgery will go well. You’ll be back on stage in no time.

Tessa: That’s what I’m hoping for.

Allie: Hey, you guys.

Mariah: Hey!

Noah: Hey. Please, take a seat.

Allie: Thanks.

Noah: It’s actually ali’s relaxation day today, too. She starts her first day at jabot tomorrow.

Tessa: [ Gasps ]

Mariah: Oh, my gosh. So fun. Yeah. I mean, we can have lunch at the jabot cafeteria. Or we could have lunch here. I mean…

Allie: Sorry. I was just admiring this place. It’s very cool. It reminds of the L.A. Rooftop bars.

Noah: Except this one’s only open during the summer. That’s wisconsin weather for you.

Tessa: [ Chuckles ]

Noah: Mm.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh, official new hope business.

Allie: So you didn’t talk to your dad yet about your plans?

Mariah: Plans? What plans?

Sally: Don’t you think it’s odd that adam left town without having a conversation with me about it?

Chloe: Of all of the things i find odd about adam, I wouldn’t even rank that in the top 100. Were you two arguing about something?

Sally: No. I mean, things were great. We were happy. In fact, we’d actually just snuck away to our little secret getaway suite for some private time, and I felt so connected to him.

Chloe: Okay, okay, yeah, yeah. I just — I don’t need any more details. Maybe he was pulled away for work, some kind of emergency.

Sally: [ Sighs ] It’s not really a possibility since he has officially walked away from newman.

Chloe: You know, I was wondering how that was gonna play out when victoria came back.

Sally: Yeah, well, it played out exactly like she wanted. She is back in charge and he is out in the cold.

Chloe: Uh-oh. Hmm. You know, I know adam’s instinct is always to get payback. So do we all have to take cover?

Sally: He went on a rampage at first, but he has calmed down and he promised me that he wasn’t gonna get into any trouble.

Chloe: Oh, adam newman made a promise. Yeah, we’ve — we’ve got nothing to worry about.

Sally: It’s not like that, chloe. When he says something to me, he means it.

Chloe: Okay, look, I’ve been down this road before, and if you think that adam is going to keep his word, then you are in for the rudest of awakenings.

Sally: Okay. I suppose it’s possible that he changed his mind about getting payback for what his family did to him. Or, yes, maybe he just flat out lied to me. But either way, he could be out there right now exacting some kind of revenge on victor and victoria as we speak.

Victoria: Adam said that it was his decision to end things with sally. He claimed that it just wasn’t working.

Nick: Why’d he tell you?

Victoria: He thought I would hold it against sally that she was in a relationship with him.

Nick: I don’t know. The last few times I’ve seen them together, they seemed fine. Maybe this is all part of a calculated plan.

Victoria: I have no idea. But this supposed breakup could be a big bluff by adam. A way to keep sally in her current position. We’re just gonna have to wait and see what happens.

Nick: So what are you gonna do? Are you going to give sally a chance to show us what she can do before you make any changes?

Victoria: [ Sighs ] The media division has become a very important part of this company, and I don’t want to see it in potentially dangerous hands. I’m gonna have to make a decision about sally sooner rather than later.

Victor: Listen, be that all as it may, I’m more interested in what adam’s plans are. Is he coming back or not?

Victoria: Daddy, I know it’s not the answer that you want to hear, but adam hasn’t changed his mind. He has no intention of coming back to work here.

Victor: I see.

Nick: So what’s he gonna do? He must have some move in mind.

Victoria: I don’t know. He hasn’t shared his plans with me.

Nick: Well, look at that, once again, adam is the wild card.

Michael: We got lucky. Diane really came through.

Nikki: Well, as she said, she was in the right spot at the right time. She usually is.

Michael: What do you mean?

Nikki: No matter the situation, things always seem to work out for her.

Michael: Nikki, she did something good.

Nikki: No, no. She was trying to improve her image to convince people that she has changed when she has not. She never does anything selflessly.

Michael: Selfless or not, she protected harrison.

Nikki: Michael, one can never disregard her motives.

Michael: And I think you should give her the benefit of the doubt every now and then.

Nikki: Okay, well, the important thing is that ashland is finally facing legal consequences for his actions.

Michael: Well, don’t get your hopes up too high. He’ll probably be out later today.

Nikki: What, are you kidding me?

Michael: It’s a misdemeanor. He’ll make bail.

Nikki: Well, that’s maddening.

[ Sighs ] Well, at least we sent a strong message.

Michael: Oh, absolutely. He now knows we’re not playing games. He’d be smart to leave town for good.

Nikki: It’s a step in the right direction.

Victor: Well, to be honest with you, I had hoped that i would have been able to announce adam’s return to the company. It would have been nice to talk about all the corporate accomplishments, you know, and mention the fact that we’ve all come together as a family under the newman umbrella.

Victoria: Yes, daddy. It would have been a lovely photo op, but if adam came back, it would have inevitably led to more conflict.

Victor: Be that as it may, I’m still disappointed, okay? I was willing to mediate. We could have worked this out.

Victoria: Well, I’m sorry. You’re just going to have to accept the fact that adam did not want to be my subordinate,

Victor: But I told him it wouldn’t be that way. You know, I told him he would have autonomy of his division.

Victoria: He made it clear that it was a nonstarter.

Victor: Did you do anything to attempt to change his mind?

Victoria: No, I didn’t, because I think his decision was the best one for the company.

Victor: [ Sighs ] The only one who could have changed his mind would have been sally. She didn’t take my advice. I told her explicitly the best move would be to convince adam to come back and take the reins from her.

Victoria: Well, even if she tried to make that case, she failed. And if they really did break up, I doubt that she would give up her promotion for her ex.

Victor: Well, if she is no longer the key to adam coming back to the company, then what the hell use is she? As far as I’m concerned, she can disappear. Don’t need her.

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

Nick: What do you want to do, vick?

Victoria: I don’t have a lot of faith in sally running a media division day in and day out. And if she and adam really have broken up, he’s not gonna be around to help guide her.

Nick: She could be overwhelmed.

Victoria: The biggest argument I have for keeping her around is that I don’t have a replacement. I’ll give it some more thought, but I need to make a decision about sally by the end of today.

Chloe: Maybe you are right. Maybe adam was telling you the truth when you said he wasn’t interested in payback. It a little out of character, but stranger things have happened. I’m sorry that you are experiencing this kind of uncertainty, but…

Sally: But I should expect it being in a relationship with adam. I genuinely am sorry for you, though.

Sally: Thank you.

Chloe: So I assume with everything up in the air, things are on hold as far as my potential role is concerned?

Sally: I’ve been assured that my job is safe, so the offer still stands.

Chloe: And who assured you that your job is safe?

Sally: Adam.

Chloe: Oh, okay. From the guy who’s gone missing and that we haven’t heard from. Great.

Sally: I will stay in charge unless and until they drag me out of this office. And I’m confident that I can prove myself to victoria and everyone else. But I need a second-in-command.

Chloe: Well, I’m definitely interested.

Sally: Do you think chelsea’s gonna take it badly if you come work here?

Chloe: Well, chelsea has decided to dissolve our partnership. She needs time to figure things out, and I respect that, but, you know, it does leave me without a job. So this timing is actually perfect. And I think that we work really well together. At least — at least we did when we first started the fashion platform.

Sally: Yeah, I couldn’t agree more. I don’t know what chelsea is thinking, but I’m glad that it frees you up because I really think we can do big things.

Chloe: Me too. So where do we start?

Sally: By reviewing everything. Seeing what we want to keep and what we want to change, and making our mark on this company.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Sighs ] We should probably hold off on all of this because our jobs might not exist much longer.

Chloe: [ Scoffs ]

Sally: [ Sighs ] Announcer: Type 2 diabetes?

Allie: I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to say anything about your big decision. Just slipped out.

Mariah: Wait, wait, we started at plans, and now we’re at big decision? What’s going on?

Noah: It’s okay, allie. If it’s gonna slip out, I’m glad it’s in front of them. I was actually gonna ask them about it anyway. They’re pretty good with advice.

Mariah: We are awesome at giving advice.

Allie: I feel like you guys are awesome at most things.

Mariah: That is so true.

Tessa: Mm. So what’s the deal?

Noah: I am thinking about leaving new hope, but I don’t know if it’s the right time, considering my dad just went back to newman.

Mariah: What? The family business, for real?

Tessa: Wow. I never thought I’d see him there again.

Noah: Surprised me, too. But he thinks that he can make a difference over there, help things run smoothly, and he expects me to take over at new hope. He said that’s the only reason he felt comfortable leaving.

Mariah: Ah, so that’s why you don’t want to tell him.

Tessa: But you never really fit in there, did you?

Noah: No, not especially. I mean, they do admirable work, but it’s just not really my thing.

Mariah: Well, yeah, I mean, because you’re not an admirable guy.

Noah: Thank you so much for that.

Mariah: [ Laughs ]

Noah: She’s kidding.

Tessa: No, no, it’s not that you’re not a caring and generous person. You’re just not really the office type. I mean, I’m honestly surprised it lasted this long.

Allie: Yeah, you just — you need to find your bliss.

Noah: Okay, I hear what you’re all saying, but it doesn’t change the fact that I feel guilty about leaving my dad and new hope high and dry.

Mariah: So you’re just gonna suck it up and stay at a job that you don’t want?

Noah: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: In addition to the personnel announcements, I think it’s important that we make sure it’s reported that revenues are up across all sectors.

Victor: Yep, I agree.

Nikki: I’m here.

Nick: Just in time.

Nikki: I know I’m late. I’m sorry.

Victor: Where have you been, sweetheart?

Nikki: Well, I have been at the park watching ashland get arrested.

Victoria: What?

Nikki: He violated his restraining order. He was in the park with harrison, so michael had the police arrest him.

Nick: Is harrison okay?

Nikki: Oh, he’s fine. He wasn’t aware of anything when they let ashland away.

Victoria: Thank god. Ashland’s gone too far this time.

Nick: Well, harrison’s alright. That is by far the most important part.

Victoria: Daddy.

Victor: Mm-hmm?

Victoria: You don’t seem surprised by this news. Did you have a hand in it?

Victor: I reminded michael baldwin that ashland locke would probably go see his son, harrison. I told him to be vigilant, which he obviously was. Job well done.

Nikki: Well, he had some help this time.

Nick: What do you mean?

Nikki: Diane was there. She’s the one that tipped off michael.

Victor: Well, I’ll be damned. Ashland locke is even too despicable for the likes of diane jenkins.

Nick: Well, she’s his grandmother. She was probably concerned about him.

Nikki: No, that’s what she wants you to think. She is trying to convince us that she’s now a decent human being so that we will let our guard down. Just because michael bought it, don’t you.

Victoria: Oh, don’t worry. After everything that’s happened to me, what ashland did, I’m not gonna give anyone the benefit of the doubt ever again.

Nick: That’s awfully cynical, vick.

Nikki: Yes, I would hate for you to adopt that attitude regarding humanity as a whole. But when it comes to diane, feel free.

Victor: Listen. Doesn’t make a difference how this all happened. Most important thing is that ashland locke is paying the consequences for his actions.

Ashland: This is a textbook case of harassment. I mean, it’s laughable. In fact, once everything is said and done, after I’ve sued the genoa city police department for millions of dollars, this case will be in an actual textbook at the police academy under the heading of “how to not treat a responsible citizen.” I’ll be out of here before you know it.

Officer roberts: Okay, big shot. I’ll tell you when your lawyer arrives.

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Sally: Okay. Let’s watch, see if we can get any answers. Though it’s probably not a good sign that they didn’t tell me about this press conference, is it?

Chloe: Well, not especially, no. But maybe it was just an oversight.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Come on. Surely newman media should be covering a newman event. Of course, maybe victoria just picked her favorite reporter to cover it and went over my head. Which doesn’t speak too highly of her view of me either.

Chloe: Let’s just hope for the best until we know for sure what’s happening. Look, they’re starting.

Victor: Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming. I’m happy to announce that my daughter victoria has come back from a short sabbatical and resumed the position of ceo of newman enterprises. She’ll be joined by my wife, nikki, as co-ceo and my son nicholas as chief operating officer. Now, without further ado, my daughter victoria.

Victoria: With my father’s guidance, we are looking forward to this brand-new era for newman enterprises.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

With age comes more…

“The young and the restless”

will continue. I know there’s conflicting information

Diane: [ Sighs ] How’s harrison?

Summer: He’s fine. He’s having some grapes and animal crackers in the kitchen.

Diane: Do you think he saw what happened with ashland?

Summer: [ Sighs ] I don’t think so. I don’t even think that he knew that there was a police officer in the park. He was so focused on those ducks.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Well, that’s a relief.

Summer: He actually seemed happy to see ashland. But luckily, I don’t think that locke got a chance to fill his head with any new lies.

Diane: Well, I’m glad to hear that. I was just so thrown by the whole incident.

Kyle: Yeah, I get it. I’ve got to shake off my own fears now.

Summer: [ Sighs ]

Kyle: It wouldn’t have taken much for ashland to race away with harrison, and he still might have enough money to whisk them away on a private jet to who knows where and vanish for good.

Diane: He wouldn’t dare.

Summer: Let’s just be grateful that harrison is home safe and sound.

Kyle: Agreed. Everything okay?

Diane: Yeah, I’m just thinking about the park. It was — it was a close call.

Kyle: Everything’s alright. You can relax now.

Diane: Well, I know that harrison’s okay, but what about me? Are you angry with me, kyle? Because you have every right to be.

[ All chuckling ]

Noah: There we are.

Allie: Thank you.

Noah: Not a problem. Did it out of the kindness of my heart, not because the three of you were ganging up on me.

Mariah: Oh, I’m so sorry. Did we hurt your “wittle” feelings?

Noah: I have learned that quality advice can sometimes hurt your feelings, but I am gonna figure out a way to tell my dad I’m leaving new hope.

Tessa: When?

Noah: I’m gonna wait until he gets a little bit more settled at newman, so please, until then, do not tell anybody.

Tessa: Oh, of course not.

Mariah: I mean, you don’t have to worry about me. I’ve already forgotten everything we talked about.

Tessa: [ Chuckles ]

Noah: Allie?

Allie: I will do my best to make sure it doesn’t slip out again.

Tessa: So what’s next on the noah newman agenda? Are you back to art?

Noah: Since I’ve been back from london, I’m kind of burnt out on the whole art scene. But I was thinking, since I’ve been here, what is the thing that has got me the most enthused? What’s the thing that’s got me the most excited that I’ve worked on?

Mariah: Tessa’s album art?

Noah: That’s definitely up there, but what I was referring to actually involves both of you.

Tessa: Oh, are you saying that us hanging out by the pool has just convinced you to be a lifeguard?

Noah: That’s not a bad idea, but I was actually talking about your wedding. I had a great time turning the top of the tower into a funky, cool club.

Tessa: You did a spectacular job.

Allie: You did. It was the most interesting wedding I’ve been to.

Mariah: And people are still talking about it.

Tessa: Oh, yeah. I see posts on my social media pages all the time about how spectacular it looked. I mean, our wedding was the hippest, funnest club in town.

Noah: So why not keep the party going?

Victoria: We’d like to open it up for questions now.

Where does adam newman fit in with all these changes?

Victoria: That actually is a very good question. My brother filled in admirably for me while I was gone, and I sincerely appreciate all of his hard work. He really stepped up for the family. But since my return, adam has decided to move on into other things outside of newman enterprises.

Sally: Because you kicked him in the teeth.

Nikki: We would all like to wish adam success in his next endeavor.

Sally: Yeah, until you need to use him as a tool to keep victoria and nick in line.

Chloe: Okay, you know, you’re just talking to the screen. You can just dial it back.

Sally: Sorry.

If adam’s gone, where does that leave newman media? Is sally spectra still in charge?

Sally: [ Sighs ] Moderate to severe eczema still disrupts my skin.

Mariah: I’m confused. What do you mean by “keep the party going”? Are you suggesting that tessa and I get married at the top of the tower on a regular basis? I mean, that’s a little weird, but if so, I’m not opposed to it. What about you?

Tessa: No, I’m in.

Noah: No, I’m talking about turning it into a club. Look, once I tell my dad how I feel, I’m gonna ask grandpa to let me lease it.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ] You want victor newman as a landlord?

Noah: Hey, he is nice to his grandkids, and I think I can probably get a good deal. I want to deck it out how it was for your wedding.

Tessa: It’s not a bad idea.

Noah: I can combine my experience in the art world and working at the underground and just, you know, really just make something that’s my own. It could be the coolest place in town.

Allie: Well, I love it.

Mariah: Yeah, so do I.

Tessa: I’m just excited to see you so happy about something. And I’m even happier that it’s this idea.

Noah: Hey, maybe you could even perform there sometime.

Tessa: Oh, noah, you can’t afford me.

[ Laughter ]

Mariah: Well, you know what? This calls for a round of celebratory drinks. I will go get them.

Allie: I will help.

Tessa: So what’s going on with allie? Is there potential?

Mariah: So how are things going at the abbott house? Are you getting along with everybody?

Allie: Yeah, it’s been great. Everyone’s making me feel like I’m part of the family, although sometimes it can be a little daunting. It can be hard to talk certain people out of their own agendas.

Mariah: I feel like you’re talking about the extended family. Kyle’s mom, right?

Allie: Yeah.

Mariah: What, has she moved into the house yet?

Allie: No. [ Chuckles ] But, you know, I wouldn’t put it past her to try. She’s been perfectly nice to me, but I just get the sense that she sees me as a useful tool. You know, she used me to reintroduce herself to the abbotts, and now she’s being really nice to me in case she needs me for one of her future plays.

Mariah: My advice, if you want it — just stick to the core abbotts. They’ll have your back no matter what. And noah, too. You know, he’s one of the good guys, and I love seeing him so happy.

Allie: Yeah. Me, too.

Noah: I really like hanging out with allie. I don’t know where it’s headed, but we had a first date, and it went well.

Tessa: Ooh, give me details.

Noah: We had dinner.

Tessa: Whoa, slow down. Too much information.

Noah: Okay, we had fun, and I feel good when I’m with her. That’s what matters, right?

Tessa: Absolutely. I’m so thrilled for you, noah.

Kyle: What are you talking about? Why would I be angry with you?

Diane: Because I was with harrison at the park. I was responsible for him.

Kyle: Yeah, but you didn’t do anything wrong.

Summer: It’s not like you colluded with ashland. Did you?

Kyle: Summer.

Diane: No, no, it’s alright. You have every right to ask that. You know, when it comes to the safety of your son, we don’t need to worry about being polite. But, no, no, I didn’t collude with ashland. I know he thought of me as an ally, but I wasn’t about to take his side.

Kyle: Of course not.

Diane: But, kyle, I let him get close to harrison. I mean, it was — it was only for a couple of moments, and I thought it would be okay. And I don’t think he said or did anything damaging, but he could have. I should have thought through it.

Kyle: Don’t beat yourself up. Nothing happened. Harrison’s fine, and ashland’s been put on notice, thanks to you.

Diane: But maybe I should have texted you instead of michael. But in the moment, I just thought he would know exactly what to do from a legal standpoint.

Kyle: Reaching out to the lawyer who set up the restraining order was smart. And you didn’t alert ashland or provoke him.

Summer: Most importantly, harrison has walked away from this unscathed, without a care in the world. Diane, you handled it correctly.

Kyle: Yeah. I’m not angry with you at all. You did the right thing, and I’m so, so grateful. You know, you really came through for us today. Thank you.

Diane: Okay.

Victoria: We were actually just discussing our plans for newman media.

Sally: Without keeping the division’s ceo in the loop.

Victoria: We have the highest hopes for newman media. In fact, we believe that it will outperform all of the analyst’s expectations. But as far as leadership goes, any possible staff realignments are still under consideration. So thank you all for coming and we appreciate it. Thank you for taking time out of your busy day.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Chloe: Possible staff reassignments. What the hell does that mean?

Sally: [ Sighs ] I don’t know, but it doesn’t sound good.

Trelegy for copd.

Allie: Thank you.

Noah: To friendship.

Mariah: To tessa’s surgery going well tomorrow.

Allie: To noah’s very exciting nightclub plans.

Tessa: To first dates.

Mariah: Cheers.

Allie: Cheers.

Mariah: [ Laughs ]

Nick: Vick, you were awesome. Absolutely crushed it. Very much in command.

Victoria: Thank you.

Nikki: Oh, yes, you were terrific. And the message was so clear. Your steady hand is steering the ship again. That ought to bring confidence back to the business community.

Victoria: I really think we hit the idea that we’re moving forward and that we’re out from under the dark cloud of ashland locke and we’re stronger than ever. Anything is possible.

Nikki: Are you talking about the business or yourself?

Victoria: I don’t know. Maybe a little bit of both. But I am glad that I’m moving forward with the two of you by my side. And I’m so grateful for your support over the last few months. I really am.

Nick: I’m glad I was there for you. But I’m even happier you turned a corner. It’s nothing but blue skies ahead.

Nikki: The question is, where is your advisor?

Victoria: Dad? He didn’t tell me he was leaving.

Nikki: He’s not here now. Where did he go?

Officer roberts: You have a visitor.

Ashland: [ Sighs ] Well, it’s about time. I’ve been here since…

Victor: Nice to see you. This is where you belong, you know. Like a caged animal.

Ashland: My lawyers will have me out of here any second.

Victor: Your lawyers won’t do a damn thing. This is where you’ll end up if you take another close step to that boy.

Ashland: You’re using that boy like a pawn. Punishing him to keep kicking me while I’m down. It’s despicable.

Victor: You’re one of the most despicable human beings I’ve ever met. Don’t stand there in that hypocritical righteousness, as if you are the offended party. You deserve everything that you’ve gotten.

Ashland: I don’t deserve this. You’re the one who deserves to suffer loss.

Victor: Is that a threat?

Ashland: You can take it however you’d like.

Victor: I don’t like it. Okay? I don’t like it. No one — no one breaks my daughter’s heart and gets away with it. No one! Watch it. I’ll follow you wherever that you go.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I-I’m not sure if anyone told you, but the whole point of coming here is to relax. I can’t, man. Too much on my mind. And I get that, but it’s not good for you to be so stressed, man. Sit. Breathe. Sweat. One out of three ain’t bad, right? Yeah, well, my wife has been lying to me for months, tj. What am I supposed to do with that? Diane. Hey. I can’t believe this is happening. I mean, trina’s going on trial for a crime she didn’t commit. Fear not. I am prepared to poke so many holes in the ada’s case, it’s going to look like a doily when I’m done with it. Hey. Hey, baby. Hey. Hey, how are you? Oh, I’m terrified and angry and frustrated. I still don’t understand why this is even happening. Your mother just said the same thing. And my response? Diane said not to worry. Scott baldwin did an amazing job with the prep work. Now I’m going to bring it home. Hey, I know you’re worried about trina. So am I. But when I asked you how you were, I was asking about you. And I answered. You answered and you told me about trina. Baby, I know it’s going to be really awful to relive that experience. Yeah, well, obviously, I don’t like it, but they could play that video in open court for all I care.

[ Sighs ] Anything to exonerate trina. You are such a good friend. The best kind. This is such a waste of time. I know. Prosecuting trina when the real criminal is out there thinking that she got away with it. You do know my every desire, spence, and I’ve been aching for you to give it to me. That’s not what I’m talking about.

[ Sighs ] But it’s been ages. Don’t you want to be together again? Of course I do. Then what is it? Are you still worried about trina’s trial? Yes, but that’s not what I’m focused on right now. Then talk to me. We used to be a team, remember? I remember everything about our time together, which is why I’ve been focused so hard on this surprise for you. And it took some doing, but it’s finally ready. Well, then don’t keep me in suspense. What is it? I found your birth mother. Honey, are you okay? What if I go in there, and when I come out, the only place I’m headed is prison? Alright. Alright. Alright. Time out.

[ Breathing heavily ] What’s going on? What’s the matter, you tired? No, I’m not tired. Just wondering why you’re so intense. You trying to kill me or something?

[ Cellphone ringing ] Olivia? What? Hold on. In an hour?

[ Stammers ] Why didn’t you say something earlier? No, no, it’s not a problem. You know, your new partner wouldn’t dream of missing her first metro court staff meeting. I will be there. And, olivia, thanks for the ample notice. See you soon.

[ Sighs ] Do my ears deceive me or has my niece made a career change? Honey, I know that this is terrifying, but you are a strong, kick-ass young woman. A strong, kick-ass, innocent young woman. Exactly. Your father is right. Honey, you can do this. We know I’m innocent. But what if the jury finds me guilty? No, no, no, no. Uh-uh. Don’t say that. I don’t want you to even think that, you hear me? It’s a possibility, mom. Any sane person is going to take one look at you and know that you didn’t do what they’re accusing you of doing. Not that it even matters. We are going to find the evidence to clear your name. Don’t forget, curtis is still out there, tracking down a lead to tie esme to that phone she planted on you. That’s right. Oh, here he is. Did it work? Did you find the evidence to prove that trina didn’t do this?

The lead didn’t exactly pan out. Thanks for trying. Well, we’re still working on it. My trial’s about to start. We’re out of time. Ready to go in? Sorry. Dumb question. Come on. You got this. I’m — I’m sorry, baby. I really, really thought that I was onto something. You did everything that you possibly could, and I’m grateful. Thank you. Surprise. “Surprise” is a massive understatement, spence. I — I didn’t even know you were looking for my birth mother. How did you find her? I wish I could take all the credit, but it was actually all my uncle victor. I asked him if he could use his connections from his wsb days. And he was able to track down the lady who left me at that church when I was a baby? That’s right. But I-I contacted the church, remember? I was told that there was no information. So how did victor…? Everyone has a price, I guess, and uncle victor spared no expense. He said that he was eventually led to a nun who remembered your mother’s name. Esme, your mother lives in portugal now. Portugal. I don’t know why that seems fitting, but it does. Yeah. What’s wrong? And, um… my father — did victor find him, too? How are you holding up? Give me an honest answer. I’m freaking out. Well, that’s natural. Of course you are. But don’t lose hope. No matter what ada arden says today, it is far from an open-and-shut case. Diane is right. You’re going to beat these charges and you’re going to put this entire nightmare behind you. You made it. Yes, of course I did. Oh, and I brought this. Oh, lucky charm? Yeah. My dad gave it to me for my 18th birthday. Alright, let me… thank you. There we are. Thank you for going back to wyndemere to get it. Oh, trina. I would go to the ends of the earth for you, don’t you forget it. How was your last day at the metro court? Was it brutal? You know, I don’t want to talk about that. Right now, I just want to focus on you. Okay. Well, I’m ready. Yeah? Yeah. They can ask me anything. My only answer is trina didn’t do it because she didn’T. And that’s what the jury’s going to hear. I can’t even think about what will happen if they don’T. Okay. Trina is going to get through this. How can she not, with amazing friends like you and cameron by her side? Where is cam, anyway? You must have had quite the morning to come at me like that. Well, I got into it with nina. Oh. About carly. Well, that explains it. Did your mom tell you that carly lost half of the hotel? Yeah. I kind of assumed that she and ned were going to buy it back for her. Olivia offered. So did I. And not to buy it back personally, but to give her the assets so she can do it herself. She turned us both down. Really? Yeah. Sorry to hear that, because it sounds like you made a reasonable offer to help. Carly’s not interested in — in being reasonable. I hate that it’s come to this. Divorce? Not just that. I mean, it’s like…

[ Sighs ] The lack of understanding. Obviously, I have feelings for nina. I just want to move forward, but carly thinks that I’m siding against her, and her attitude is starting to spread, especially towards michael. Right. Hey. You didn’t choose what happened to you. You didn’t choose to lose your memory you didn’t choose to separate yourself from your family. Okay, you do get to choose what the aftermath is — what you do next. I mean, you chose to hold nina accountable, but you stopped short of hating her, and I — to be honest with you, I admire that, because that’s the only way to heal. How’d you get so wise? I had my own homecoming, remember? Aunt liesl, you heard correctly. I am the new co-owner of the metro court. Who’s out? Olivia or carly? Carly. Never thought I’d see the day she parted with her precious hotel. Well, she didn’t give it up willingly, believe me. I need details this instant. Let’s just say carly, she made a bad business deal, and she lost her half of the metro court in the fallout. And where exactly do you fit in? I bought her stake with the full intention of gifting them back to her. A very generous gesture. One I’m sure that stood to benefit you, as well. Well… I-it sort of backfired. And it might have ended sonny and me before we even got started.

There you are. I am so sorry I’m late. Where were you? I got held up at home. Aiden is a little bit sick right now, so my mom, she’s there taking care of him. She’s so sorry that she can’t be here. She sends her love. No. If you need to go be with your brother — trina, there’s no other place that I’m supposed to be than right here. We’re with you all the way till the end. And whatever comes after. Come here. Those three have stuck together through some really tough times. A bond that can’t be broken. It has to turn out okay. It just has to. It will. And esme prince will regret the day she ever messed with our kids. I don’t know anything about your father. The only name that victor discovered is your mother’S. It’s just… I can’t believe it, after all of this time. I know. It’s a lot to process, isn’t it? It’s like, I don’t know what emotion to feel first. Why did you do this for me? Good looking out, man. You’re a good friend. You’d do the same for me. I just — you know, I’m a recovering addict. How did I not see sasha was using again? Hey don’t blame yourself, brando. W-was I blind to it? Or was she just that good at hiding it? And which of those options is even better? I-I don’t know. You know, I-I really thought that sasha and I were getting our relationship back on track. You know, after we lost liam. I just — I truly believed that we were on the same page. And I’m sure, in a lot of ways, you were. Not if she was lying to my face! What does that say about our marriage?! Am I supposed to trust her again?! I’m sorry, brother. I love sasha. I love her. And more than anything, I just want her to be okay. You know, but she’s in denial, and of course, my instinct is to run in and fix everything for her. You can’t help her unless she helps herself. Yes. Right. I don’t know where to go from here, man. You know, it’s, uh — it’s like you said — you love her, and sasha loves you. I’m not saying it’ll be easy, but… I believe everything will work out. God, I hope you’re right. Once carly shot me down, I decided that I was just going to keep her half of the metro court. And how does sonny feel about that? Not great. He says that it will make me look like I am spiteful. You know, he insists that we are together and that he wants to move forward with our relationship, but the minute that carly is in trouble, he rushes to her rescue. Why keep the hotel,

liebchen? Surely you’re busy enough with crimson. I am busy, but it’s an amazing business opportunity. You know, the metro court is hugely profitable and it’s a huge success. Not to mention, owning half lessens the chances crimson will be evicted from its office space. Exactly. I never intended for this to happen, but now that it’s just fallen into my lap, am I supposed to just back away from it because carly’s feelings got hurt? No. I offered to give it back to her, and she said no, aunt liesl. So if you look at it by that perspective, 50% is her doing and 50% is mine. But the satisfaction is 100% yours. I really struggled when I came home. Yeah. You, of all people, know that. Right. I mean, different circumstances, obviously, but we both know what it’s like to not be able to fit back into your old life. And, I mean, mine was self-inflicted. I volunteered for that op that set everything in motion. You wanted to do the right thing, and then you paid a hell of a price. See, that’s what I mean. You understand me because you’re going through it. Trying to piece together a new life, trying to figure out, you know, what matters to you now, because everything — everything changes based on your experiences, right? And I know it did for me. And now you — you have feelings for nina, which you can’t deny, because if you did that, that would be a lie. And — and a lie is a crappy foundation to build a life. Right. And that comes with its own problems. What do you mean, you, uh — nina get pissed off you were offering to help carly? That’s part of it.

[ Sighs ] Then what’s the other part? Did you mom tell you that, uh, nina’s her new partner at the metro court? Well, how did that happen? Nina bought carly’s half of the hotel, intending to give it back, to make amends. Carly shot her down? Yeah. Now nina owns half of the metro court. Now, she could have sold it to somebody else. That would have been really bad, but she’s keeping it. Wow. I can understand how that’s making carly feel, then. I told nina, people are going to think she’s sticking it to carly, and she got all upset and she said it feels like there’s three people in the relationship. Well, there are. I don’t want any trouble with carly. I’m not talking about you two. I’m talking about nina and carly.

N called youas witnesses to try and get out ahead of my defense, so whatever she asks you, you answer truthfully, and I will make it work during the cross-examination. Okay? Okay. Okay. All rise. The honorable judge young presiding. We are here today to obtain justice for two victims of the insidious crimes of revenge porn and illegal surveillance. Opposing counsel will have you believe that the defendant is above reproach — a straight-a student from a good family. And that may all very well be true, but does that give her a pass to act out of jealousy when things don’t go her way? No, it doesn’T. And as you’ll see, the defendant had means, motive, and ample opportunity, which I plan to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. I got the idea when I saw your letters from maggie. My private letters that were never meant for your eyes. I told you that was an accident. I wasn’t trying to snoop around, but I’m glad that I read them. I thought that you’d made peace with not knowing who your birth parents were, but those letters made me realize that I was wrong. And ever since, I’ve been looking for a way to find them. Even though you accused me of filming joss and cam? It’s because of that. I never should have attacked you the way that I did. But I can’t think of a better way to make it up to you. Can you? Do you want my opinion? Uh… if you’re at peace with your reasons, don’t concern yourself with optics. Zur holle mit anyone who judges your decisions. This is your life. Yeah, but sonny is part of my life, aunt liesl. At least I want him to be. This whole hotel stuff does not sit well with him. You’re right. It is my life and my choices. But what if this choice brings me nothing but misery? Michael is going to come down here in a bit. Are you, uh — you going to stick around? Well, I’m not going to let my own son run me out of my own gym. Okay, good. Right? Hey, what’d you mean by — by carly and nina? Nina kept the fact that you were alive away from all of us. Right. Carly’s not going to forget that, ever. Neither is michael. Toss in the fact that nina and carly already had their own kind of stuff going on before this whole mess, right? And? And whatever happens with you and nina, carly and michael are always going to be a part of it. That kind of history, you can’t untangle, it’s impossible. Michael. Hey, good to see you, man. Yeah, you too, yeah. Thanks for making the time. Yeah, of course. Always. Alright, I’m gonna — you know what? Uh, actually, I’d like it if you stayed. Uh, there’s something you need to hear.

You’re going to hear about it eventually, so, willow is pregnant, and I’m only telling you this because I want to make it perfectly clear that you will have no role in this child’s life. Michael. No, I mean it. You’re not their grandfather. For all intents and purposes, you are a stranger to them. Okay, don’t do this. So what, you’re just going to erase me from your life? Is that what you want to do? Pretty much. Really? Pretty much? Yeah. So I heard you had — did he have a setback in his business? Don’t go there. No, I’m not — your girlfriend took advantage to screw over my mother. No, I did — I offered to help carly. What do you talking about? She doesn’t need your help. She’s not your concern anymore. Neither am I. So we need you to stay the hell out of our lives, okay?

[ Scoffs ] Got a problem? Hey. What is it? Hey, is this where we’re at? I push back and y-you sic your attack dog on me? Hi, my sweet boy. I have big news. I’m having another baby, which is very exciting, but it also makes me think of you. How much I wish I could have been a mother to you, too — to love and protect you, watch you grow up. Every single day, I wish you were here. You and wiley would be thick as thieves, driving us all crazy — in the best possible way, of course. I miss you. But the good news is… you’re always with me, and you will always be a part of my family. What do you think? You think you would have made a great big brother to the new baby? I do. Nina: New baby? Willow, are you pregnant? Go on. Take your best shot. Stand back. No, hey, I don’t need your protection. Come on, let’s do this. Mike — michael. You should respect your father. I got a horse worthy of more respect. Okay, why doesn’t everyone just chill out? That’s it! Hey! Hey! Hey! Sonny gave you an order. I suggest you follow it. Or deal with me. Mr. Webber, you’ve stated that you and the defendant are friends. That’s correct. And did your relationship ever turn into more than friendship? Briefly. We both went through something very traumatic, and things got very confusing. But in the end, we decided that we were better off as friends. And you are currently in a relationship with the other victim, josslyn jacks, is that correct? Yes. And is ms. Jacks friends with the defendant as well? They’re best friends. Oh. So you and the defendant developed feelings for each other, and then you ended up dating her best friend. Is that a problem for ms. Robinson? Objection, your honor. Mr. Webber cannot speak for the defendant. Sustained. Was anyone else present the night you and ms. Jacks were recorded without your knowledge? Yes. Trina was there. So was spencer cassadine and esme prince. And were all of those people in the cabin when you and ms. Jacks became intimate? No. I-I’m sorry. Uh, could you speak up? No. So who was there, then? It was just trina. You okay? I’m not sure. I thought this is what you wanted. I just assumed that I’d never find my mother. I mean, everyone told me to just let it go, and then somehow, you made the impossible possible. Nothing is impossible for a cassadine. Even though you fell out of love with me, or at least I thought you did. And it was like no matter how hard I tried to reach you, it — everything I did, it didn’t matter. I’m sorry. I’ve been carrying around this secret for so long. I guess it bled into everything else. I did not mean to shut you out. I guess you just didn’t want to get my hopes up. Oh, my god. Knowing who I am, where I came from… you’re right, spence. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted, but… how do I know that it’s real? That this name your uncle victor found is really my mother? I mean, anyone could just say that. You’re right. And I was worried about the same thing. So I had a dna test done. What? Here is the only proof that you need… if you want it.

Everything’s fine, brando. Michael and i are finished here. Michael, come on. That’s definitely not the way I planned on telling you I was going to be a father again. Alright, hey. This is sonny’s gym. You knew there had to be a chance that he would be here. I know. I just — I didn’t want to wait to share the good news with my brother. Okay. Maybe part of you couldn’t wait to share the news with your father. I take it, uh, things haven’t gotten better between you and michael? You want to talk about it? I’m done talking. It’s time for action. Not that it’s any of your business, but yes, michael and i are having a baby. Is that why you fainted at the metro court? Oh, yes, I — I heard that you helped me on that day. Thank you. Congratulations. You and michael must be thrilled. We are. And wiley, how did he react? I am not talking to you about my son. My grandson.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Oh, are we really going to do this every time? I guess so, willow. I guess we are.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

[ Sighs ] Hello. Hey. Now? Oh, yeah. Okay. I-I’m leaving right now. I’ll be right there. Okay. I have to go. Willow’s pregnant. Yeah, that appears to be the case. Fantastic. Another win for carly. She may be down, but that woman will never be out. How long did you and my client date? We never dated. Did you ever act on any feelings you may have had for each other? We kissed twice, both months apart, and that was two years ago. We both decided that we were better off as friends. When did you start dating ms. Jacks? Last july. So, a long time after you and my client — well, I would have said ended things, but you never really began, did you? Correct. What is your relationship with ms. Robinson now? Trina is one of my closest friends. I believe her and I believe in her. No further questions. The prosecution calls josslyn jacks to the stand. This is going well. Diane’s got this. Please describe the events leading up to you and mr. Webber being recorded without your consent. I have everything… for tonight… if we decide that we’re ready. I want my first time to be with you. I feel the same way. Well, then, tonight’s the night. We went skiing during the day and then came back to the cabin that night and played some games. What kind of games? Spencer: Never have I ever… oh! Thrown up in the middle of a dance floor. That was only one time! Okay, but one — whoa, one is one more than zero, so drink up, baby. Okay. Well, this sounds like a very fun story. Please share the details. A drinking game. Ada arden: Did the defendant drink? Well, something very strange was going on. Yes or no, ms. Jacks? Yes. And while under the influence, did the defendant comment on your relationship with mr. Webber? The game was never have I ever, and if this is going to make any sense, I’m going to need to explain the rules. A yes or no will suffice. One player says, “never have I ever done something,” and if you’ve done that thing, then you drink, and all of the questions were designed to make trina drink. Ms. Jacks, confine your answers to the question. Well, you’re not asking the right question, okay? Because trina was set up by the person who actually did record us, and I’ll tell you exactly who that person is. Your honor, I’d like permission to treat ms. Jacks as a hostile witness. Permission granted. This is a match. You found my birth mother. This is — this is really happening!

[ Laughter ] Oh, my god. Wait, did you meet her? What’s she like? Not yet.

[ Sighs ] There’s no name here. You won’t find any names in the file. I kept it all confidential. Because you wanted to be able to tell me yourself? I can’t believe you did this for me. No, esme… you are the last person that I did this for.

On the night in question, did the defendant state that she was upset that you and mr. Webber started dating? The witness will answer or be held in contempt. I’m sorry. We were playing a drinking game, okay? We were supposed to be having a good time. I-I don’t remember every word that trina spoke. Ms. Jacks, I’m directing you to answer the questions to the best of your ability. Ms. Arden, I might also remind you that ms. Jacks is not on trial here. She is, in fact, the victim. Get where you’re going, get there cleanly, or excuse the witness. At some point in the course of the drinking game, did the defendant become upset? Yes. And was her upset the result of you and cameron webber dating — that you were together, that she was left out? Yes, but she wasn’t herself — and then what happened next? Trina went to her room. And the other two guests, mr. Cassadine and ms. Prince? Well, I called ms. Prince out for the lying snake she is. She got upset, ordered a car, and took mr. Cassadine with her. So you, mr. Webber, and the defendant — she has a name. Careful, ms. Jacks. So you, mr. Webber, and ms. Robinson were the only people remaining inside of that cabin? Yes. Did you see ms. Robinson after she went to her room? I checked on her, and I spoke to her through the closed door. But to be clear, you didn’t see her? No. What about before you and mr. Webber became intimate? Trina felt sick and went to sleep. How do you know? Because she told me and I believe her. So you only have ms. Robinson’s word? I trust trina with my life. Is that a yes? Yes, but I would have seen her if she had left her room. So you were inside of the cabin the entire time, then? No. Cameron and I stepped outside for a breath of fresh air. But I — ms. Jacks. Can you attest to the defendant’s whereabouts — not where you think she was or where you assume she was, but her actual whereabouts from the time that she entered her room to the time that you and mr. Webber entered yours? I don’T… who else would want to know who my mother is? Just you.

[ Scoffs ] But you just said that you didn’t do this for me. Well, the reason that I kept it all confidential was so that you would have to go through me to get answers. I’m the only one who has this information. Aside from your uncle. Uncle victor will follow my lead. Trust me. Spence, what is this? I gave you what you wanted. Now, the only way that you’re going to learn the identity of your birth mother is to give me what I want. Which is? Trina’s freedom. I know it goes without saying, but whatever you need, I’m here. You know what you can do for me? What? Stop worrying about me. Take care of yourself and your family. You are my family. I get it.

[ Stammers ] Hey, I love you like a — like a brother. But you know what? You got a lot on your plate. You let me worry and deal with what I got to deal with. Boss. I got you some ice for your hands. Should take down the inflammation. Good thinking. Yeah, learned a thing or two while I was the substitute manager here. You know, underneath all that anger, it’s got to hurt, knowing that things have gotten as bad as it’s gotten between you and sonny. Are you sure you want to cut that tie with the baby coming? You’re my brother, and I love you, and I respect that you want to have a relationship with sonny, but I need you to respect that I don’T. I just — I just don’t like seeing that — that it’s come to this. Sonny threw away his marriage to my mom with both hands, and he testified for nina at the visitation hearing. He put nina’s feelings above wiley’s welfare. That’s not a grandfather I want for my kids. That’s not a person I want in their lives. Yeah, he doesn’t see it that way. That’s why there’s no point talking about it. And on the subject of a new baby, is there anything you would like to say to your little brother?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. Get ready to get no sleep. Congratulations. And there it is. I-I’m really happy for you and willow. Thank you. Thank you. I get to be an uncle again. Think you’re ready for it? Heck yeah. I can’t wait. I love you, man. Love you, too. Tj. Willow, hey. Hey. What’s going on? What was so urgent? Yeah. Let’s get you to an exam room to talk, okay? Oh, [ Chuckles ] I just assumed this was about work. This is medical? I-I didn’t even know you were on an O.B. Rotation. Yeah, this isn’t an O.B. Visit. Oh. Okay, then what? So after you fainted, I ran a series of tests. Yes, I remember. That’s how we figured out I was pregnant. Yes. Uh… but we need to discuss the rest of your results.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sonny: Morning.

Will: Morning. Oh, my gosh, it’s so late. Why didn’t you wake me up?

Sonny: You had a late night. I thought you could use the rest. Yesterday was…pretty rough.

Will: Yeah, I was kind of hoping that everything thappened with my dad was just a horrible nightmare.

Sonny: Well, I kind of wish I could tell you it was.

Lucas: Ow.

[Door opens] Jj, listen to me–

Jj: I just came from the courthouse. I heard that you pled not guilty to kidnapping sami. Even after you admitted that you did to a room full of people. Maybe now you want to admit that you killed my sister?

Kate: Roman told you.

Marlena: You’re damn right he did. Do not come back here.

Kate: Okay. I need your help.

Marlena: You know who needed my help? My daughter needed my help. When your son kidnapped her, and terrorized her… and you said nothing? You covered for him.

Kate: Sami is fine.

Marlena: Sami is fine, physically. In every other way, she is a mess.

Kate: Okay, look, I’m sorry.

Marlena: You’re sorry? Really, you’re sorry because you got caught. Look, it’s bad enough that you knew that your son had kidnapped my daughter and you said nothing about it, but then you sat in that church in front of god and everybody and you were about to allow your son to marry my daughter.

Kate: Okay, for the record, when I learned about lucas, what he had done, sami was already free.

Marlena: Well, you know what? Ej wasn’t free.

Ej: Samantha says she’s leaving salem for good. I think she means it. You know, father, you always taught me that there’s nothing more important than family. And look what I’ve done. I’ve lost samantha, disrespected belle, christian’s turned on me, and I’ve alienated my grieving brother. I haven’t seen or heard from chad in days.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Xander: Oh, bummer. You got dressed.

Sarah: Honey, I left you in there about a half an hour ago.

Xander: I was exfoliating. I rinse the mask off too soon, it doesn’t achieve its full effect.

Sarah: Mm-hmm. You do realize that your skincare routine is about 10 times more elaborate than mine?

Xander: That’s because you’re a natural beauty, darling. The rest of us have to work at it.

Sarah: Oh, is that so?

Xander: Mm-hmm.

Sarah: Well, I happen to think that you are irresistible just the way you are. So, now that you are all scrubbed and polished, are you gonna stand around in that towel all day or what?

Xander: If that’s what you want.

Sarah: I’ll show you what I want.

Xander: Mmm. That’s what I want too.

[Sarah giggles]

Kate: Thank you for letting me in.

Marlena: I didn’t want the neighbors to hear my tirade. Kate, I’ve always known that you could be a little selfish, but I never dreamed that you would let an innocent man rot in prison for a crime he did not commit.

Kate: Ej is hardly an innocent man.

Marlena: He did not kidnap sami. And he did not deserve to go to prison for a crime your son committed.

Kate: Oh, what about all the other crimes that he committed that he never paid for?

Marlena: It doesn’t work like that, kate. You can’t take something that ej did in the past and try to make him pay for it instead of what your son needs to pay for.

Kate: Okay, well, you know, I actually did feel badly for ej and that’s why I led belle to the evidence that exonerated him.

Marlena: And what about sami? Did you feel sorry for her? Because she was the victim of a horrendous crime.

Kate: Oh, please. Sami is nobody’s victim.

Chad: I saw sami on my way in. She leaving town?

Ej: She’ll be back. Her parents are here and her children.

Chad: I thought that now that she knows you didn’t kidnap her, I thought maybe the two of you had a shot of getting back together.

Ej: [Small laugh] So did I.

Chad: Look, um… I’m here because I owe you an apology. I was wrong. Not just wrong. It was, um–I– I made a terrible accusation blaming you for abigail’s death. I was angry that you didn’t tell me that clyde weston threatened our family, but I shouldn’t have gone off on you the way that I did. I jumped to the conclusion that clyde was the one that killed abby… and now it’s clear that it’s someone else.

Lucas: You know how much I loved abigail.

Jj: You loved sami too. Didn’t stop you from hurting her.

Lucas: I know you’re in pain, and I’m sorry.

Jj: I don’t want your damn sympathy. I want answers. And I’m not leaving until I get them. So did you do it? Did you kill my sister?

Lucas: I don’t know.

Jj: How can you not know if you stabbed someone to death?

Lucas: Because I don’t remember anything.

Jj: I can imagine you would wanna forget doing something that horrible– the terror in her eyes, her screaming, crying, begging you to stop… all that blood!

Lucas: Yeah, I understand. I wanted to remember everything, but I can’t because I was drunk. I was–I blacked out!

Jj: Then why do you look so damn guilty?

Lucas: Because I’m ashamed. I hate myself for what I did. I hate myself for kidnapping sami, I hate myself for falling off the wagon, and I hate myself for not knowing what I did after!

Jj: Maybe you just need a little help.

Lucas: What?

Jj: You don’t seem to be having much luck on your own. So maybe I could jog your memory. Maybe I just need to beat the truth out of you! Once upon a time, before jill said yes.

Marlena: I’m aware that sami has gone to extremes when it comes to helping her family. That does not excuse lucas.

Kate: Okay. Lucas made a mistake, but he doesn’t deserve to go to prison.

Marlena: He was just arraigned for kidnapping his fiancé. And he’s under suspicion for killing his niece.

Kate: Lucas isn’t capable of killing anyone, marlena.

Marlena: You know, in my profession, there’s a concept we call “denial.”

Kate: Okay, look, I know that you’re angry. You have every right to be angry. But you don’t really believe that lucas killed abigail, do you?

Ej: I’m sorry again about clyde. I should’ve told you right away that he threatened to hurt our family if I told anyone he was responsible for my shooting.

Chad: Yes, you should’ve.

Ej: I thought making a deal with him was the best way to protect everyone. But as soon as I heard that he was arrested in connection with abigail’s murder, I couldn’t keep quiet any longer. So I went to rafe, and it was too little, too late. You were right, chad. I was arrogant and selfish thinking that I had this all under control.

Chad: It’s the dimera way.

Ej: Hmm. As is putting family first. I am going to help you get justice for your wife. Whatever it takes. So, now we know clyde has an air-tight alibi–

Chad: And lucas does not.

Lucas: You want to hit me? Go head.

Jj: Were you in my sister’s house that night? Did you go up to her room?

Lucas: I don’t know.

Jj: Think! Did you ask abigail to keep quiet about what you did to sami? When she refused, you stabbed her? Ended her life? Answer me!

Lucas: I don’t know! I told you, I told everybody I don’t know! I want to remember, but I can’t, all right? I wish to god I could, but I just can’T.

Jj: Then I guess I’ll have to beat it out of you.

Jennifer: [Gasps] Jj, stop!

Xander: Oh, look at you. You’re glowing and you didn’t even have to exfoliate.

Sarah: Yeah, it’s a gift and a curse.

[Giggling] I think what we just did is better than anything you can buy in a store.

Xander: Well, you know what they say– can’t have too much of a good thing.

Sarah: I can’t, I can’t, I can’T. I have to go to the hospital and pick up a refill of my prescription.

Xander: The adjusted dose seems to be working, yeah?

Sarah: Mm-hmm, yeah, yeah, I haven’t had any hallucinations in a few days, which is just so great, but I don’t think it’s enough that we’re out of the woods yet.

Xander: Well, I’m very optimistic.

Sarah: Yeah, I’m just– I’m so grateful that I didn’t hurt anyone all those times that I saw kristen, you know? I would… I’d never be able to forgive myself.

Xander: I’m so sorry you’re still dealing with all this.

Sarah: Yeah. Well, hopefully it’s done and our life can just finally go back to normal.

Xander: I wish I could say the same for my best mate.

Sarah: Yeah. I noticed that you didn’t talk to jack much at abigail’s funeral.

Xander: Oh, you know, he was surrounded by family. I didn’t want to intrude.

Sarah: I bet he’d really like to hear from you. And better in person.

Xander: Yeah, you’re right. I should stop by. Offer my condolences. And to jennifer too, of course.

Sarah: Mm-hmm.

Jennifer: Jj, what are you doing?

Jj: Trying to find out if your brother killed my sister!

Jennifer: No, let him go! Let him go!

Jj: Not till he answers me!

Jennifer: Jj! Jj, please! I need you to listen to me! I need you to look at me, okay? I need you to let go of lucas and I need you to look at me! Look at me!

Jj: Mom.

Jennifer: Sweetheart, I know, I know, I know.

Jj: [Whispers] She’s gone. Abigail’s gone, and I need– I need to understand it. I need it to make sense.

Jennifer: I understand, I know, I know. We all do. And we all want answers, sweetheart. We all want answers, every single one of us. And when we get those answers, and I promise you, I promise you we will get those answers. Your sister being taken from us is never gonna make sense. I’m sorry.

[Exhales] It was wrong of him to put his hands on you.

Lucas: You and jj have every right to be furious with me. You do. You can yell at me, you can hit me, do whatever you want.

Jennifer: Hit you? I wouldn’t hit you.

Lucas: Why not?

Jennifer: Because you’re my brother, and I love you.

Lucas: Stop. I’m not worthy of that, not now.

Jennifer: Don’t say that!

Lucas: It’s the truth. I made a terrible choice. It wasn’t a slip-up, it was a choice. I chose to drink that night. I knew what would happen if I drank–I knew my life would be turned upside-down, but I did it anyway because of me, because of my pain. I wanted to numb my own pain. I didn’t care about the pain I caused other people.

Jennifer: Lucas. You are a good person.

Lucas: No, I’m not! I’m a coward! I didn’t come clean until my back was against the wall! Don’t you understand that? I did this, jen. I lied. I denied. I framed ej. I did that on my own! So if I go to prison, if I go to a psych ward, or if I get the death penalty, I don’t care. I don’t care because I deserve it.

Sonny: Will, I cannot imagine your father killing anyone let alone his own niece.

Will: It’s like I told allie. If you’d asked me a week ago if my dad was capable of killing anyone, I would’ve said no. Crazy. But I just found out he kidnapped mom. He kept her captive for months.

Sonny: That was totally different! He was scared and terrified he was gonna lose the person he loves the most. Both you and I know what that’s like. And it’s a huge jump from kidnapping to murder.

Will: It’s not that huge, if you’re drunk and you’re desperate. He truly thought he was about to lose everything.

Sonny: And he thought that killing abigail was the solution?

Will: He wasn’t thinking, sonny, that’s what I’m saying. He was operating on emotion, on adrenalin, on fear. He like spent months building up this whole house of cards, and it was about to crash down.

Sonny: Will.

Will: He has the motive, he had the means, he had the opportunity–he has this huge gash on his hand.

Sonny: Will. Will.

Will: That looks bad! How do you explain that?

Sonny: Will. Breathe. Okay? Can you really imagine your father stabbing abigail?

Will: I couldn’t imagine us rolling leo stark’s dead body up into a rug, but we did.

Sonny: That’s totally different.

Will: How? It was anger that turned to violence. My dad was angry and scared. It is entirely possible that he got drunk, he went to confront abigail, things got heated, and he did what he thought he had to do to keep from losing my mom.

Sonny: No. No, I don’t think that’s what happened.

Will: I mean, I hope you’re right. This is all speculation anyway. I don’t know what happened. You don’t know what happened. He doesn’t know what happened. He doesn’t remember anything about that night.

Kate: Even after what he did to sami, there is no way that lucas could’ve killed abigail. No way. I don’t care how drunk he was.

Marlena: What are you doing here? What do you want from me?

Kate: I want you to help my son.

Ej: I knew from the start that lucas was responsible for samantha’s kidnapping but no one believed me. And to add insult to injury, according to roman, kate knew he was guilty and said nothing and was perfectly happy for me to take the fall. I mean, kate and I have had our differences, but I never expected that level of treachery from her.

Chad: But what about from me?

Ej: I’m sorry?

Chad: Kate wasn’t the only one who knew lucas was behind the kidnapping. I did too. I knew you were innocent all along. So I said, “yeah you’re saving hundreds

Will: My mom texted me. She’s leaving salem. And she vows to never, ever, ever come back to this. And the rest is… uh, just profanity.

Sonny: Mmm. Well, she’s very upset, very understandably. Okay, but once she calms down, I promise you she’ll come right back to town.

Will: Can you please distract me from all of this?

Sonny: Okay, well, how about…[Imitates drums] A sweet treat from sweet bits? I got you a blueberry scone.

Will: Oh!

Sonny: And an iced coffee.

Will: Oh, my favorite. Thank you.

Sonny: Mm-hmm. Oh my god, you’re like a scone monster. You’re getting crumbs all over the bed.

Will: Maybe you can help me with that?

Sonny: All over your chest.

Will: Mm-hmm. Get it off. Ohh…

Xander: I’m just so sorry about abigail, jack. I wish I had the words.

Jack: Well, sometimes words are overrated. I saw you at the funeral.

Xander: I wanted to approach you, but… I just kept my distance out of respect.

Jack: And fear of julie.

Xander: Yeah, that too.

Jack: I’m glad you were there, xander. It meant a lot to see you there.

Xander: So many people loved your little girl.

Jack: It was A…[Sniffles] Such a lovely service, wasn’t it? I can’t believe we got through it.

Xander: You’re really strong, jack.

Jack: Yeah. I had jennifer there by my side the whole time. Thank god chad had his brother.

Ej: When did you know it was lucas?

Chad: When I caught lucas planting evidence on a dimera computer.

Ej: The evidence that led to my false imprisonment.

Chad: Ej, I know it was wrong, but I was so angry at you that you kept trying to get under my skin. Johnny’s movie, trying to cut me out of dimera.

Ej: And by conspiring with lucas to frame me, you could run the company on your own. You get what you want, he gets what he wants.

[Light laugh] Makes perfect sense.

Chad: I’ll be honest. I was fine with you getting booted from dimera. But as soon as belle told me that you could be sentenced to 10 years, I– I couldn’t go through with it. I planned to come clean at your trial. I was gonna say that I planted all of the evidence, then I saw you, what I thought was you, forcing yourself on my wife at the courthouse.

Ej: When the devil morphed into me.

Chad: You hurt me, and I wanted to punish you.

Ej: I’m the one in the family that everyone says is as ruthless as father. Turns out I’m not alone. You said you were planning to testify that you planted the evidence. What about lucas?

Chad: I promised kate I wouldn’t implicate him.

Ej: [Laughs] Oh, how big of you.

Chad: All I cared about was keeping you out of prison. I figured that lucas would hang himself eventually. I didn’t see the point in bringing him down with me.

Ej: Ah. And I’m sure kate appreciated that very much. Probably why she didn’t throw you under the bus when I confronted her.

Lucas: Why are you here?

Jennifer: To tell you that I know you loved my daughter, and I know you didn’t do this.

Lucas: You can’t say that, jen, you don’t know that.

Jennifer: Why did you keep this to yourself? You were sitting there comforting me over the loss of my daughter, and all that time you were thinking that you were the one that might’ve hurt her? Why didn’t you just tell me?

Lucas: I guess I was scared. I was really scared. I kept thinking about what happened with will and how we almost lost him and it was devastating. It was devastating to think I inflicted that same kind of pain on you, my very own sister.

Jennifer: I wish you would’ve just…told me.

Lucas: I couldn’t have told you then. I didn’t want to put that on you. You were going through too much.

[Crying] But you know what? Every time I looked at this bandage and I every time I looked at that bottle that I drank, I thought of abigail. I thought about how much I loved her. I remember when she was little and she used to sit on my lap and I used to read her those nancy drew books all the time.

[Jennifer laughs] And I remember that one year I gave her that pink typewriter for her 10th birthday I think it was, and I remember she used to type out the salem news all the time. Do you remember that?

Jennifer: Yeah, I do.

[Weepy laugh]

Lucas: She wanted to be a reporter just like her parents. She was doing it, you know? She was on her way, and she turned into a beautiful woman with two beautiful children, a wife to a husband she loved. And now…now they’re gonna have to go on without her. So the reason–the reason I didn’t tell you is because I could barely tell myself. I could barely tell myself that I might be responsible and it might be me that… that I took abigail away.

Chad: Ej. I’m truly sorry for what I did. These past few weeks, you’ve been there for me and for my children. You opened your heart and you were a true brother. And I just hope that you can somehow find a way to forgive me.

Ej: I have to give the matter careful consideration. Your betrayal has cost me a great deal… including what may have been my last chance with samantha.

[Quiet, somber music]

I know you’ve just lost your wife. And I respect you admitting this to me.

Chad: I just really hope that we can find a way to get past this.

Ej: Ironic, isn’t it? You slam me for not reporting clyde weston, yet you did the same with lucas. Kept quiet about his crimes, allowed him to remain free. And that may very well have cost abigail her life. I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Xander: I’m surprised to hear ej stepped up for chad.

Jack: Well, abigail brought out the best in everyone.

Xander: Except maybe gwen. I’m sorry, mate. It was stupid of me to bring it up.

Jack: Xander, you don’t have to tiptoe around me–I know that you had your issues with abigail as well.

Xander: At first, I… I did blame her for leaving that syringe in the secret room of the dimera house, but… then I realized your daughter wasn’t responsible–she had no way of knowing it’d be used to hurt the woman I love.

Jack: That drug warped abigail’s mind. She felt awful about what happened to her cousin, how much she was suffering.

Xander: Yeah, but in true abigail fashion, she actually did something about it. And she got to the bottom of kristen’s crazy scheme, found sarah on that deserted island, and she risked her own life to bring her home to me.

Sarah: Jj. Hey. I barely had a chance to talk to you at the funeral. I just wanna, um… I want to tell you, I’m so sorry, again. What’s going on?

Jj: I, uh…just came from the police station where I confronted lucas. I asked him if he killed my sister.

Sarah: Oh. What did he say?

Jj: He doesn’t remember.

Sarah: Do you believe him?

Jj: I don’t know what to believe.

Sarah: I know that rafe is going to fight for justice, just like abigail would.

Jj: Yeah. I heard that you were injected with the same drug as abigail. How you doing?

Sarah: Uh… better, you know? But I got a double dose of that drug, so it’s taking a lot longer to get it out of my system. I have hallucinations. I see kristen everywhere. Just…wanting to kill her.

Lucas: I must be losing my mind.

Jennifer: Will you, uh… will you do something for me?

Lucas: Anything.

Jennifer: Will you forget that I’m your sister… and just…just talk to me like I’m a reporter.

Lucas: All right. I’ll tell you whatever you want to know.

Jennifer: Okay. Great. I want to know everything. Let’s start with the kidnapping.

Lucas: I was desperate to get sami back, and I did something insane. I, uh, I kept her locked up where no one could find her. But she was safe. She was safe the whole time.

Jennifer: And, uh, you set ej up, you sent him to prison.

Lucas: Yeah. Yeah, but I mean, it worked out because he was released. And sami thought he was guilty, so I thought I was gonna get everything that I wanted. Then I found out that abigail knew about the kidnapping.

Jennifer: And then what did you do?

Lucas: I panicked because I didn’t know if she was gonna tell anybody, and I knew if she told people, that I would lose sami and she’d go back to ej and I’d end up in prison.

Jennifer: And after you talked to your mother?

Lucas: I knew I was done. I knew I-I had one final night of freedom, so I went crazy and I polished the bottle. I drank myself into oblivion.

Jennifer: And you don’t remember anything you did that night?

Lucas: No! I told jj. I’m telling you now. I’ve wracked my brain. I don’t know anything. I want to remember, I need to remember. Not knowing is killing me.

Kate: I mean, you know from personal experience how painful it is when someone you care about has no memory.

Marlena: Well, if we were talking about somebody that I care about, I might be inclined to help.

Kate: You cared about abigail, didn’t you?

Marlena: Very much.

Kate: Then hate me. Hate lucas. But do it for abigail. Because if you help my son get answers, you’ll help get justice for abigail too. I was on an antidepressant,

Will: Can we stay like this forever?

Sonny: Mm. You mean blissfully in love?

Will: Yes, but, um, I mean literally like this. Just the two of us in bed, shutting out the outside world.

Sonny: Except ari.

Will: Oh yeah. And blueberry scones.

[Both laughing]

Sonny: Sounds like a plan.

[Phone chimes] And so much for shutting out the rest of the world.

Will: Sorry. Oh my god.

Sonny: What?

Will: Looks like my mom might not be the only person leaving salem.

Sarah: Just, uh, picked up a refill of my meds.

Jj: Are they working?

Sarah: Getting there.

Jj: Abigail beat rolf’s drug. I’m sure you can too.

Sarah: You know, um, when i had my first hallucination, I was…I was really scared. And I thought that I would never be cured again. And marlena suggested that I should talk to abigail because she’d been through it. And the night she died, I was going to. Maybe if I had gone, I could’ve stopped the killer.

Jj: Or you would’ve been killed too.

Sarah: I just can’t help but think–

Jj: Yeah, I keep having the same thought, sarah. Same guilt. But I have to keep reminding myself that the only person responsible for taking my sister away from us is the person who murdered her.

Sarah: Do you really think it was lucas?

Jj: I really hope not. But whoever it was… god help them when they face me.

Xander: Well, I hope it’s at least a bit of a comfort for you and jennifer to… to have jj back, I mean.

Jack: Unfortunately, nothing is much of a comfort right now.

Xander: I understand. And as if jennifer isn’t already in enough pain, now her… her brother’s a suspect?

Jack: I’m praying for his sake and ours that he didn’t do it.

Xander: Well, no matter what, I’m here for you, mate. I hope you know that.

Jack: I do. So you– tell me about you and sarah.

Xander: Well, kristen caused a lot of damage. We’re still feeling the effects.

Jack: But still… you got a–you got a chance to start again with the woman that you love.

Xander: I do. And I realize just… just how lucky that makes me.

Lucas: My mother went to talk to marlena, and she thinks that if I get put under hypnosis that it’ll all come back to me. But I don’t know why she’d help me after everything I did to sami.

Jennifer: And I am sure marlena would do whatever it takes to…find out what happened to abigail.

Marlena: She’s right about that. W as ktonowhat happened to theirs. A

[Dramatic music]

Pool floaties are like whooping cough.

Will: Remember that streaming service I wrote the “alamainian peacock” miniseries for?

Sonny: Yeah, you did the movie “a very salem christmas” for them too.

Will: Yes, exactly. So I pitched a bunch of new projects to them, and they want to do one.

Sonny: Oh my god, will! That–that’s incredible. What’s–what’s the project?

Will: Well, it’s top secret, of course, but what I can tell you is that they want me to come to la. Possibly to direct.

Sonny: Oh my god, that’s an amazing opportunity.

Will: I know, it is. But I have to turn it down, ’cause I…I gotta stay here for my dad.

Sonny: Are you ser– will. Your dad wouldn’t want you to put your entire life on hold.

Will: Well…[Sighs] What about you and ari?

Sonny: We’d be fine. She’s on summer vacation. She’s very flexible. Okay? And once she’s back in school, we’ll come visit you out in la, you can come visit here. I mean, it’ll work out perfectly.

Will: Are you sure?

Sonny: Yes, a thousand percent.

Will: Okay. I love you.

Sonny: I love you.

Lucas: I want you to know how incredibly sorry I am about what I did to sami.

Marlena: Your mother asked me if I would hypnotize you… in hopes of helping you remember what happened the night that… abigail was killed.

Lucas: I’m grateful you agreed.

Marlena: I’m not doing this for you. I’m not doing this for kate. I’m doing it for abigail and her family. Rafe is letting me do this with the understanding that nothing discussed here will end up in court. But we all think it’s important to find out the truth about what happened.

Lucas: I need to know if I did this.

Marlena: Then let’s begin.

Kate: Marlena has agreed to hypnotize lucas. Maybe he can remember what happened the night abigail died.

Ej: Oh, kate, I’m glad you’re here.

Kate: Really? I thought that I was your enemy.

Ej: Indeed. And now chad is as well.

Chad: What? I thought that you said that you were gonna take time to think it over.

Ej: Oh, I have. And my first thought was to have you both thrown in prison, but upon further reflection, I believe there’s another way you can make restitution.

Kate: Oh, boy. What’s that?

Ej: If you wish to remain free, you both have to sign over your dimera shares to me.

Xander: Got your meds I see.

Sarah: Mm-hmm. Did you see jack?

Xander: I did. And while he was talking about abigail, I was reminded of something. That we have to make the most of each and every day.

Sarah: I wholeheartedly agree. So, how shall we make the most of today?

Xander: Well, I was thinking that maybe…

Sarah: Yes?

Xander: You and I…

Sarah: Yes?

Xander: Could get married.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Deacon: Wow. I mean, talk about not holding back.

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah. The– it feels good to vent.

Deacon: Yeah. No wonder I get paid the big bucks.

Deacon: Hey listen, if anyone has a reason to unleash on sheila, it’s you. Especially after what she did steffy and her family. And especially finn. Just, you know, let it out. Get all those feelings out, taylor, I’m telling you. You’ll feel better. I promise.

Ridge: No, that’s perfect. Keep me updated.

Brooke: Taylor went into work?

Ridge: Yeah. There was uh, a security guard outside of her office.

Brooke: Even so, you can’t help but worry, right?

Ridge: No, because she’s gone through a lot of stuff… and me being here with you. I mean, I love it, but, it’s, uh, just another thing for her to adjust to.

Brooke: Okay. But she will adjust, just like I’m adjusting to having you back home.

Ridge: Yeah you’re adjusting right now, is that what you’re doing?

Hope: Oh.

Ridge: Why, why, why?

Hope: You have no idea how happy it makes me to see the two of you together like this again.

Liam: Damn, dad. You picked a hell of a restaurant.

Bill: We can go somewhere else, if it bothers you, liam.

Liam: Go somewhere else. Yeah, of course it bothers me. I mean, look– look, we’re feet away from where steffi and finn– I mean, sheila shot them right there. That’s– it’s like

Wyatt: It doesn’t even seem real. I mean, how could somebody do something like that here?

Bill: Well, this is sheila crackpot carter we’re talking about. I knew the moment she slithered back to L.A., That it was going to be trouble. I just never imagined it could be what actually happened.

Wyatt: You know what I don’t get? After everything that sheila has done, how is she still out there roaming free? Where’s the justice? Like, when– when is sheila going to get hers?

Liam: Sheila gets hers when she’s back behind bars for the rest of her stupid life.

Wyatt: And what about the cops? They don’t know where she is?

Liam: Not that I know of.

Bill: What do you know?

Liam: I know that ridge isn’t leaving anything to chance. And the guy has hired a legion of security guards to protect him and his family.

Bill: All right. Well, I got to give the dressmaker props for that. Never been a cheerleader for the guy. But I do respect his love for his family.

Hope: If I am interrupting something, which I can see that I am.

Brooke: No, honey. You are not interrupting anything. You’re always welcome here.

Ridge: Of course you are. But, uh, you know, a little bit of notice would be nice.

Hope: Oh.

Brooke: So, where are the kids?

Hope: Oh, they’re at playdates. And don’t worry, the security cars are out front watching. I’m just– trying to keep their lives as normal as possible while sheila’s still on the loose.

Ridge: Well, since you’re here, um, I don’t want to put you on the spot, but have you spoken to your dad? Does he, maybe, know where sheila is?

Deacon: Oh, come on. Don’t stop now. Vent about sheila to your heart’s content. I’m actually enjoying this.

Taylor: Yeah, I think you are. Hey, deacon. Anything that’s been said in here, just mum’s the word, okay?

Deacon: Hey, lady, what kind of practice do you think I run? Doctor patient confidentiality here. Now, come on. Seriously, I– I know I don’t have any fancy degrees in head shrinking, but I do know human nature.

Taylor: I can see that. You know, I– I know that you said that you didn’t know where sheila was, and I believe you. But if you could think of somewhere that she might be, like what do you think, deacon? Because we– we have to get her. We have to find her before she hurts more people.

[Knock at the door]

Mike: Sheila, I’m back. Okay, I did everything that you asked. Oh, my freakin’– you’ve killed your son, again? Hey, it’s me…your skin.

Wyatt: So, I’m guessing you’re missing kelly like crazy?

Liam: Oh, yeah. Yeah. Separation has been tough.

Bill: But necessary.

Liam: Absolutely. Steffy and the kids, they need this time to heal. And they’re sure as hell not going to do that if they’re sticking around here, so.

Wyatt: Without the constant reminder of finn being gone, you mean?

Liam: Well, yeah, that. The sheila thing. I mean, it– it’s not like they’re going to forget finn. Steffy is going to see to that. But still.

Bill: She really loved the guy.

Liam: Still does. And she’s– she’s– it’s steffy. You know, she’s staying strong for the kids, but this loss has been– it’s been enormous for her, and it’s going to continue to be.

Hope: Are you really asking me if my dad knows where sheila is?

Ridge: Well, he spent a lot of time with her, so, yeah, I am.

Hope: Well, uh, my dad told me that he hasn’t spoken to sheila since she escaped from prison, and I believe him, but, clearly you don’T.

Ridge: I don’T. I don’t believe anything he says. I never will.

Deacon: Taylor, if I had the slightest clue where sheila was, I would tell you. She hasn’t been in touch. I’m telling the truth, taylor. I swear.

Taylor: I believe you. I do. I believe you, deacon.

Deacon: Wow, huh, it’s kind of a kick in the head. Not really used to people taking me at my word. Okay, um, how is steffy dealing with all this? I mean, I know she’s fierce like her mom, but… I mean, this has got to be a lot to deal with. You know, trying to put your life back together after something like that. Have you and ridge thought about going to visit her?

Taylor: Well, sure. I mean, we– we talked about it a few times, you know, before he moved back in–

Deacon: I’m guessing that a trip to europe right now with ridge could be a little awkward.

Taylor: Yeah.

Deacon: Shifting gears, I’m going to put my shrink hat back on and give you a little more unsolicited advice.

Taylor: Oh god, your shrink hat.

Deacon: All right. Listen, you, uh, you urged me to talk about my feelings about brooke.

Taylor: Mm hmm.

Deacon: I would challenge you to talk about your feelings about ridge and brooke’s destiny.

Sheila: You really think I would kill my own son?

Mike: Hello? You have, almost twice now. Shooting him, then shocking him.

Sheila: He was upset, mike. I put a sedative in his I.V. To calm him down. Give me that. Did you get everything I asked for? All of the medicines?

Mike: Yeah. But I got to tell you, I– I’m really not comfortable with this whole situation.

Sheila: Oh, really? You’re uncomfortable? I’m here worried about my son. Plus, I’m probably going to go back to prison.

Mike: Well, true. But at– look at the bright side. At least you haven’t murdered anyone. Oh. Unless we include finn’s real mom.

Sheila: No I– I am finn’s real mother. And I didn’t murder li. That was an accident.

Mike: Whatever you say. But if the cops connect you to another “accident–”

Sheila: And how are they going to do that? They haven’t even found li’s body. I have scoured the internet. I have found nothing on a body or the truck.

[ Crashing ]

Sheila: I didn’t mean for li to die. So why do these things always keep happening to me? Give me your phone.

Mike: What are you doing?

Sheila: I’m calling li. – Look, this isn’t my first rodeo,

Wyatt: You expecting someone?

Bill: No. I’m just looking around to see if that ex-con is here with his mop and pail. I mean, you got to love it, right? Deacon sharpe working in a bar.

Wyatt: Well, at least he’s got a job and he’s not working one of his scams like he’s been known to do.

Bill: I wouldn’t be so sure about that. Once a con man, always a con man. Remember when he told everybody he was steering clear of sheila? Well, that wasn’t true. So, who knows? Maybe he’s still connected to her.

Liam: Hmm. Not according to hope. The last time she talked to deacon, she said he seemed pretty damn disenchanted with sheila. He hadn’t heard from her, and he doesn’t expect to.

Brooke: Okay, uh, look, maybe we should just talk about something else.

Hope: No. No, it’s okay, mom. I know that ridge is just trying to look out for the people he loves.

Ridge: That’s exactly right. I mean, we can all agree that your dad’s a bit of an operator. But he told us he had nothing to do with sheila, and he was with her the whole time.

Hope: I– I don’t think it’s how you’re making it out to be. My dad has had no contact with sheila.

Ridge: And I think that’s great. And he also should have no contact with any of the people that I care about. Is it too much to ask? No.

Deacon: All right. Go time. Time to tell dr. Deacon everything about this brooke and ridge destiny thing.

Taylor: Dr. Deacon. You’re not going to stop, are you?

Deacon: Look, taylor, I will if you really want me to. I just I– seriously, for a second. I– I really feel like you’ve got something that’s bottled up inside of you. Something that you haven’t said and that you’ve kept for a long time. And it’s been gnawing at you. And if that’s the case, now’s the time to get it out. I mean, come on. You can’t beat my price. All right, look, I get it, you know? I mean. Why would you want to open up to a guy like me? Guy who has got my history. I– I don’t blame you.

Taylor: No, deacon, it’s not that. It’s– it’s– you know, just when I think about– brooke and ridge, and their destiny. It’s hard for me to even say it without laughing, almost, because, I don’t know. Maybe they’re meant to be together forever. Maybe– maybe, they’re going to be destiny for eternity. But maybe, just maybe this bridge they’re building is– is burning to the ground day by day. Because the woman who claims she wants to save it, won’t stop playing with the matches.

Deacon: Boom! Look at that. Wow. Tell me how you really feel, doctor.

Mike: You’re calling a dead woman’s phone? You’re losing it, sheila. Dearly departed don’t usually answer their phones.

Sheila: It went to voicemail.

Mike: What’d you expect, the real thing?

Sheila: Shut up!

Mike: I’m just saying.

Sheila: I just don’t want to hear it. Do you know the pressure that I’m under? And– and when finn wakes up–

[ Finn moans ]

Mike: He’s coming, to.

Sheila: Ah. I see that.

Mike: So, what’s the plan, sheila? I sprung you from prison. What are you going to do with finn?

Bill: Thank you.

Liam: Man, I just want this to be over. I want sheila to be caught. I want her to be locked up. So that when steffy and the kids do come home, they– sheila’s not a threat to them. You know, steffy needs to start rebuilding her life. As difficult as that will be without finn.

Deacon: So vat I’m

he-yar-ring, in my professional opinion, is that you and zis brooke logan will neverrr be bffs.

Taylor: Never, never. But gosh, deacon, it– it really has been nice to commiserate with someone about brooke and ridge and all that.

Deacon: Feels good to be able to open up and just talk to somebody, yeah.

Taylor: Yeah.

Deacon: You know, uh, sheila and I were, I guess, on some level, friends, and, what with her being a murdering psychopath and all, I don’t have any other friends right now except you. And, um, you know, I don’t know– I don’t have the fancy degree, but I’ve got a pretty sturdy shoulder. If you ever need to lean on it, I’ll show up for you.

Taylor: Thank you, deacon. I appreciate that. Honestly, right now, all I can focus on is my daughter and my grandkids. And what sheila did to take finn away from them.

Ridge: I’m sorry. It’s been a long couple of months, and, uh, I’m frustrated. I don’t need to let that out on you. I apologize.

Hope: Thank you, for that.

Brooke: Yeah, well, we’re all a little bit on edge, and we just need to relax. I know it’s still an eerie feeling knowing that sheila’s out there somewhere, waiting, biding her time.

Hope: But what could she be plotting for?

Brooke: I don’t know. I mean, that’s the scary thing. We don’t know what’s going on in her twisted mind, what she’s going to come up with next.

Hope: Well, she would have a death wish. Trying to come after you or taylor. And ridge had made sure of that with all the security he’s hired.

Brooke: Well, that’s true. And I really appreciate what you’ve done, ridge. You have really given me peace of mind, and taylor too.

Ridge: I think sheila has caused enough pain, we all agree on that, right? Done with it. She’s not going to hurt anyone in my family ever again.

Sheila: What’s the plan, mike? What’s the plan?

Mike: Yeah. Look at him. He’s waking up. He’s going to be all over your case for shooting him full of sedatives.

Sheila: I didn’t shoot him full of sedatives. I gave finn something to keep him from getting more upset.

Mike: Sheila, he’s upset because you’re keeping him from his wife and child.

Sheila: I’m– I’m protecting him. My son’s happiness means everything to me. And that’s what he’s going to have once I reunite him with steffy and hayes. He’s gonna be so happy, mike. He is going to forget all about this.

Mike: That’s real noble. But you’re still headed right back to prison.

Sheila: Maybe that’s where I belong.

Mike: And what about me? I’m going to prison, too. I’m an accomplice in this now. Sheila, look, I get that you gave birth to him. But it’s not like you are a mother to him. Not like you raised him all those years. Be smart. Cut your losses. You got a lot of life to live. And we could be real good together. You and me.

Sheila: Oh, my god. Are you suggesting that I run away with you, and leave my son to die?

Mike: I’m suggesting that finn already has a death certificate. Maybe it’s best to just let it be.

[ Finn internally panting ]

Finn: I got to get out of here before it’s too late. I have to get to steffy.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Sonny wakes Will up in bed and they talk about yesterday being rough. Will hoped everything that happened with his dad was just a horrible nightmare. Sonny wishes he could tell him it was, but shows him his phone with an article in The Intruder about Lucas being arrested at his wedding.

Lucas sits in the interrogation room, handcuffed to the table. JJ walks in and says he just came from the courthouse and heard that Lucas plead not guilty to kidnapping Sami even though he admitted that he did to a room full of people. JJ asks if now he wants to admit that he killed his sister.

Kate guesses that Roman told Marlena. Marlena confirms that he did and tells Kate not to come back to her house. Kate stops her and says she needs her help. Marlena responds that Sami needed her help, when Kate’s son kidnapped and terrorized her but Kate said nothing and covered for him. Kate points out that Sami is fine. Marlena argues that Sami is fine physically but is a mess in every other way. Kate apologizes. Marlena argues that she’s only sorry because she got caught. Marlena adds that it’s bad enough that Kate knew Lucas kidnapped Sami and said nothing, but then she sat in the church in front of God and everybody and she was about to allow Lucas to marry Sami. Kate states that when she learned about what Lucas had done, Sami was already free. Marlena points out that EJ wasn’t free.

EJ talks to the portrait of Stefano in the DiMera Mansion about how Sami says she’s leaving Salem for good and he thinks she means it. EJ states that Stefano always taught him that there’s nothing more important than family and look what he’s done. EJ goes over that he’s lost Sami, disrespected Belle, Kristen turned on him, and he’s alienated Chad, who he hasn’t seen or heard from in days. Chad then walks in to the room.

Xander and Sarah kiss in their room at the Salem Inn after a shower. Sarah removes Xander’s towel and they kiss onto the bed.

Kate thanks Marlena for letting her in. Marlena says it was only because she didn’t want the neighbors to hear her tirade. Marlena adds that she’s always known Kate could be a little selfish, but never dreamed she would let an innocent man sit in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Kate argues that EJ is hardly an innocent man. Marlena responds that EJ did not kidnap Sami and he did not deserve to go to prison for Lucas’s crime. Kate asks what about the other crimes EJ never paid for. Marlena argues that you can’t take something EJ did in the past and try to make him pay for it instead of what Lucas needs to pay for. Kate admits she did feel badly for EJ which is why she led Belle to the evidence that exonerated him. Marlena asks if Kate felt sorry for Sami because she was the victim of a horrendous crime. Kate remarks that Sami is nobody’s victim.

Chad tells EJ that he saw Sami on his way in and asks if she’s leaving town. EJ assures that Sami will be back since her parents and her children are here. Chad thought since Sami knows EJ didn’t kidnap her, that maybe they had a shot at getting back together. EJ admits he did too. Chad tells EJ that he’s here because he owes him an apology as he was wrong in making a terrible accusation, blaming EJ for his death. Chad says he was just angry that EJ didn’t tell him that Clyde threatened their family but he shouldn’t have gone off on him because he jumped to the conclusion that Clyde killed Abigail, but now it’s clear that it was someone else.

Lucas tells JJ that he knows how much he loved Abigail. JJ points out that Lucas loves Sami too but it didn’t stop him from hurting her. Lucas is sorry that JJ is hurting. JJ doesn’t want his sympathy, he wants answers, and declares that he’s not leaving until he gets them. JJ asks Lucas if he killed Abigail. Lucas admits that he doesn’t know. JJ questions how he could not know if he stabbed someone to death. Lucas cries that he doesn’t remember anything. JJ could understand not wanting to remember doing something that horrible, the terror in her eyes, her screaming, crying, and begging him to stop with all that blood. Lucas cries that he wants to remember everything, but he can’t because he was drunk and blacked out. JJ asks why he looks so guilty then. Lucas says he’s ashamed and he hates himself for what he did, for kidnapping Sami, falling off the wagon, and not knowing what he did after. JJ suggests maybe Lucas just needs a little help. JJ says that Lucas doesn’t seem to be having much luck on his own so maybe he can jog his memory. JJ grabs Lucas and screams that maybe he needs to beat the truth out of him.

Marlena tells Kate that she’s aware that Sami has gone to extremes to help her family but that does not excuse Lucas. Kate argues that Lucas made a mistake, but doesn’t deserve to go to prison. Marlena points out that Lucas was just arraigned for kidnapping his fiancée and he’s under suspicion for killing his niece. Kate argues that Lucas isn’t capable of killing anyone. Marlena brings up the concept of denial. Kate understands that she’s angry but asks if she really believes Lucas killed Abigail.

EJ tells Chad that he’s sorry again about Clyde as he should’ve told him right away that he threatened their family, but he thought making a deal with him was the best way to protect everyone and as soon as he heard that he was arrested in connection to Abigail’s murder, he couldn’t keep quiet any longer, so he went to Rafe but it was too little, too late. EJ states that Chad was right that he was arrogant and selfish by thinking he had this all under control. Chad calls it the DiMera Way. EJ says so is putting family first. EJ assures that he will help Chad get justice for his wife, whatever it takes. EJ says they now know that Clyde has an airtight alibi while Chad points out that Lucas does not.

Lucas tells JJ to go ahead and hit him. JJ asks if Lucas was in Abigail’s house or if he went up to her room. Lucas cries that he doesn’t know. JJ demands he think and asks if Lucas asked Abigail to keep quiet about what he did to Sami and when she refused, he stabbed her, ending her life. JJ demands an answer. Lucas screams that he doesn’t know as he told everybody and he wants to remember, but he can’t. JJ guesses he’ll have to beat it out of him then. JJ raises his hand to Lucas but Jennifer runs in and calls for him to stop.

Xander and Sarah continue kissing in their room until Sarah mentions that she has to get to the hospital to pick up a refill of her prescription, noting that the adjusted dose seems to be working. Sarah mentions that she hasn’t had any hallucinations in a few days which is great, but she doesn’t think they are out of the woods yet. Xander says he’s very optimistic. Sarah is grateful that she didn’t hurt anyone when she was seeing Kristen as she would never be able to forgive herself. Xander is sorry that she’s still dealing with this. Sarah hopes their life can finally go back to normal. Xander wishes he could say the same for Jack. Sarah notes that he didn’t talk much to Jack at Abigail’s funeral. Xander says he was surrounded by family, so he didn’t want to intrude. Sarah bets Jack would really like to hear from Xander in person. Xander agrees that they should drop by and offer condolences to Jack and Jennifer too.

Jennifer stops JJ and questions what he’s doing. JJ responds that he’s trying to find out if Jennifer’s brother killed his sister. Jennifer tells JJ to let him go. JJ screams not until he answers him. Jennifer pleads with JJ to let go of Lucas until she successfully pulls him off. JJ cries that Abigail is gone and he needs it to make sense. Jennifer says they all want answers and promises they will get them. Jennifer says that Abigail being taken from them will never make sense. JJ then storms out of the room. Jennifer tells Lucas that it was wrong of JJ to put his hands on him. Lucas says they both have every right to be furious at him. Jennifer says he’s her brother and she loves him. Lucas responds that he’s not worthy of that. Jennifer tells him not to say that but Lucas says it’s the truth as he made a terrible choice. Lucas states that he chose to drink and knew it would turn his life upside down, but he did it anyway because he wanted to numb his own pain and didn’t care about the pain he caused other people. Jennifer encourages that he’s a good person. Lucas disagrees, pointing out that he didn’t come clean until his back was against the wall. Lucas declares that he lied, denied, and framed EJ all on his own, so if he goes to prison, the psych ward, or gets the death penalty, he doesn’t care because he deserves it.

Sonny tells Will that he can’t imagine Lucas killing anyone, let alone his own niece. Will says if he asked him a week ago if Lucas was capable of killing anyone, he would’ve said no that’s crazy but he just found out he kidnapped Sami and kept her captive for months. Sonny argues that was different because he was scared and terrified that he was going to lose the person he loves the most and they both know what that was like. Sonny calls it a huge jump from kidnapping to murder. Will feels it’s not if you’re desperate and drunk. Sonny questions killing Abigail being the solution. Will argues that Lucas wasn’t thinking and was operating on emotion, adrenaline, and fear. Will complains that Lucas has motive, means, opportunity, and a huge gash on his hand that looks bad, questioning how to explain that. Sonny encourages Will to breathe and asks if he can really imagine Lucas stabbing Abigail. Will responds that he couldn’t imagine them rolling up Leo Stark’s presumed dead body up in a rug but they did. Sonny calls that totally different. Will asks how since it was anger turned to violence. Will states that Lucas was angry and scared, so it’s entirely possible that he got drunk, went to confront Abigail, things got heated and he did what he thought he had to do to keep from losing Sami. Sonny doesn’t think that’s what happened. Will hopes he is right. Will calls it all speculation anyway as none of them know what happened and Lucas doesn’t remember anything about that night.

Kate tells Marlena that even after what Lucas did to Sami, there is no way he could’ve killed Abigail no matter how drunk he was. Marlena asks what Kate is doing here and what she wants from her. Kate wants Marlena to help Lucas.

EJ knew from the start that Lucas was responsible for Sami’s kidnapping but no one believed him and according to Roman, Kate knew Lucas was guilty and said nothing and was perfectly happy for him to take the fall. EJ acknowledges that he and Kate had their differences but he never expected that level of treachery from her. Chad asks what about from him which EJ questions. Chad then reveals that Kate wasn’t the only one who knew that Lucas was behind the kidnapping, as he did too. Chad admits that he knew EJ was innocent all along.

Will informs Sonny that Sami texted him that she’s leaving Salem and she vows to never ever come back. Sonny understands she’s very upset, but once she calms down, he promises she will come right back to town. Will asks Sonny to distract him from all this. Sonny got him a blueberry scone and iced coffee from the bakery as they then start kissing.

Xander goes to see Jack and tells him he’s so sorry about Abigail. Jack mentions seeing him at the funeral. Xander says he wanted to approach him, but kept his distance out of respect and fear of Julie. Jack is glad that he was there as it meant a lot to see him there as they hug. Xander acknowledges that so many people loved Abigail. Jack calls it a lovely service and he can’t believe they got through it. Xander encourages that he’s really strong. Jack credits having Jennifer by his side and is thankful that Chad had EJ.

EJ questions when Chad knew it was Lucas. Chad reveals he caught Lucas planting evidence on a DiMera computer. EJ acknowledges that led to his false imprisonment. Chad knows it was wrong but he was so angry at EJ for getting under his skin with Johnny’s movie and trying to cut him out of DiMera. EJ realizes that by conspiring with Lucas to frame him, Chad could run the company on his own so they both would’ve got what they wanted and says it makes perfect sense. Chad admits he was fine with EJ getting booted from DiMera but as soon as Belle told him that he could be sentenced to 10 years, he planned to come clean on his trial but then he saw what he thought was him forcing himself on Abigail at the courthouse when the Devil morphed in to him. Chad says that EJ hurt him, so he wanted to punish him. EJ states that he’s the one in the family that everyone says is as ruthless as Stefano, but it turns out he’s not alone. EJ asks about Chad planning to testify that he planted the evidence and asks about Lucas. Chad reveals that he promised Kate that he wouldn’t implicate him as all he cared about was keeping EJ out of prison, so he figured Lucas would hang himself eventually and didn’t see the point in bringing him down with him. EJ is sure Kate appreciated that very much and it’s probably why she didn’t throw Chad under the bus when he confronted her.

Lucas asks why Jennifer is here. Jennifer says she knows he loved Abigail and he didn’t do this. Lucas argues that she doesn’t know that. Jennifer questions why he kept this to himself while comforting her over the loss of her daughter when he thought he was the one who might have hurt her. Jennifer asks why he didn’t just tell her. Lucas talks about being scared and thinking about almost losing Will. Lucas calls it devastating to think he inflicted that same pain on his own sister and he felt she was going through too much. Lucas says every time he looked at the bandage on his hand and the bottle he drank, he thought about how much he loved Abigail. Lucas recalls memories of Abigail growing up. Lucas talks about Abigail’s life and how now her husband and kisd have to go on without her. Lucas adds that he didn’t tell her because he could barely tell himself that he might be responsible for taking Abigail away.

Chad tells EJ that he’s truly sorry for what he did and acknowledges how EJ has been here for him for the last few weeks like a true brother. Chad hopes EJ can somehow find a way to forgive him. EJ says he’ll have to give the matter careful consideration because his betrayal has cost him a great deal, including what may have been his last chance with Sami. EJ knows Chad just lost his wife and he respects him admitting this to him. Chad hopes they can find a way to get past this. EJ calls it ironic that Chad slammed him for not reporting Clyde Weston, yet Chad did the same with Lucas, kept quiet about his crimes and allowed him to remain free which may very well have cost Abigail her life. EJ then exits the room.

Xander tells Jack that he’s surprised to hear EJ stepped up for Chad. Jack responds that Abigail brought out the best in everyone. Xander says except maybe Gwen, then apologizes for bringing that up. Jack tells Xander that he doesn’t need to tiptoe around him as he knows he had his issues with Abigail as well. Xander admits at first he blamed Abigail for leaving the syringe in the secret room at the DiMera Mansion but then he realized she had no way of knowing it would be used to hurt Sarah. Jack says that drug warped Abigail’s mind and she felt awful about what happened to Sarah. Xander notes that in true Abigail fashion, she actually did something about it, got to the bottom of Kristen’s crazy scheme, found Sarah on the deserted island and risked her own life to bring Sarah home to him.

Sarah runs in to JJ in the town square and notes that she barely got to talk to him at the funeral but she wanted to tell him again that she’s so sorry. Sarah asks what’s going on. JJ responds that he just came from the police station where he confronted Lucas and asked him if he killed Abigail but he said he doesn’t remember. Sarah asks if JJ believes him. JJ doesn’t know what to believe. Sarah knows Rafe will fight for justice just like Abigail would. JJ brings up hearing that Sarah was injected with the same drug as Abigail and asks how she’s doing. Sarah says she’s better but she got a double dose so it’s taking longer to get it out of her system. Sarah mentions having hallucinations and seeing Kristen everywhere and wanting to kill her.

Lucas tells Jennifer that he must be losing his mind. Jennifer asks Lucas to do something for her and forget that she’s his sister and just talk to her like a reporter. Lucas agrees to tell her whatever she wants to know. Jennifer wants to know everything, starting with the kidnapping. Lucas explains that he was desperate to get Sami back and he did something insane by keeping her locked up where no one could find her, but she was safe the whole time. Jennifer asks about him setting EJ up and sending him to prison. Lucas confirms he did but says it worked out because EJ was released but Sami still thought he was guilty, so he thought he was going to get everything he wanted but then he found out that Abigail knew about the kidnapping. Jennifer asks what he did then. Lucas admits he panicked because he didn’t know if Abigail was going to tell people and if she did, he knew he’d lose Sami and she’d go back to EJ while he would end up in prison. Jennifer asks about after he talked to Kate. Lucas felt he had one final night of freedom so he went crazy, polished off a bottle and drank himself in to oblivion. Jennifer questions if he doesn’t remember anything he did that night which Lucas confirms. Lucas says he wants and needs to remember because not knowing is killing him.

Kate tells Marlena that she knows how painful it is when someone you care about has no memory. Marlena remarks that if they were talking about somebody that she cares about, she might be inclined to help. Kate asks if she cares about Abigail. Marlena says she does very much. Kate tells Marlena to hate her and Lucas but to do this for Abigail, because if she helps Lucas get answers then she will help get justice for Abigail too.

Will and Sonny lay in bed together. Will wants to stay like this forever and shut out the outside world, but then he gets a text message and announces it looks like Sami might not be the only person leaving Salem…

Sarah tells JJ that she just picked up a refill of her meds. JJ asks if they are working. Sarah says she’s getting there. JJ responds that Abigail beat Dr. Rolf’s drug, so he’s sure she can too. Sarah brings up when she had her first hallucination and how she was really scared and thought she’d never be cured again. Sarah adds that Marlena suggested she talk to Abigail because she had been through it. Sarah says the night Abigail died, she was going to and maybe if she had gone, she could’ve stopped the killer. JJ points out that she could’ve been killed too. JJ adds that he keeps having the same thoughts and guilt but he keeps reminding himself that the only person responsible for taking Abigail away from them is the person who murdered her. Sarah asks if he really thinks it was Lucas. JJ responds that he really hopes not, but whoever it was, God help them when they face him.

Xander hopes that it’s at least a bit of a comfort for Jack and Jennifer to have JJ back. Jack responds that unfortunately nothing is much of a comfort right now. Xander says he understands and says if Jennifer isn’t already in enough pain, now her brother is a suspect. Jack says he is praying for his sake and their sake that he didn’t do it. Xander assures that he’s here for him no matter what. Jack wants to hear about Xander and Sarah. Xander states that Kristen caused a lot of damage, so they are still feeling the effects. Jack reminds Xander that he has a chance to start again with the woman he loves. Xander assures that he realizes just how lucky that makes him.

Lucas tells Jennifer that Kate went to talk to Marlena and thinks if he gets put under hypnosis then it will all come back to him, but he doesn’t know why Marlena would help him after everything he did to Sami. Jennifer responds that she’s sure Marlena would do whatever it takes to figure out what happened to Abigail. Marlena walks in and says she’s right about that. Marlena declares that as upset as she is about what Lucas did to her daughter, she does think that Jack and Jennifer have a right to know what happened to their daughter.

Will reminds Sonny of the streaming service that he wrote the Alamanian Peacock mini-series for and the Christmas movie. Will reveals he pitched a bunch of new projects and they want to do one. Sonny asks what the project is. Will says it’s top secret but they want to come to LA to possibly direct. Sonny calls that an amazing opportunity. Will says it is but he will have to turn it down because he has to stay here for his dad. Sonny argues that his dad wouldn’t want him to put his entire life on hold. Will asks about Sonny and Arianna. Sonny says they’ll be fine and will arrange visits so it will work out perfectly. Will asks if he’s sure. Sonny says he is. Will says he loves him and they kiss.

Lucas tells Marlena how incredibly sorry he is about what he did to Sami. Marlena states that Kate asked her to hypnotize him in hopes of helping him remember what happened the night that Abigail was killed. Lucas is grateful that she agreed. Marlena clarifies that she’s not doing this for him or Kate, but for Abigail and her family. Marlena adds that Rafe is letting her do this with the understanding that nothing they discuss will end up in court, but they all think it’s important to find out the truth about what happened. Lucas agrees that he needs to know if he did this. Marlena decides to begin the hypnosis.

Kate goes to the DiMera Mansion and informs Chad that Marlena has agreed to hypnotize Lucas so maybe he can remember what happened on the night that Abigail died. EJ walks in and tells Kate that he’s glad she’s there. Kate thought she was his enemy. EJ confirms that she is and adds that now Chad is as well. Chad thought he was going to take time to think it over. EJ responds that he has and his first thought was to have them both thrown in prison but upon further reflection, he believes there’s another way. EJ declares that if they wish to remain free, they both have to sign over their DiMera shares to him.

Xander returns to Sarah in their room at the Salem Inn. Xander sees she got her meds and tells her about seeing Jack. Xander says while he was talking about Abigail, he was reminded that they have to make the most of every day. Sarah agrees and asks how they should make the most of today. Xander suggests they could get married which makes Sarah smile.

Recap written by Christine

At Chancellor Park, Kyle demanded to know where Harrison was. Ashland pointed him out – he was at the pond with Diane. Kyle was going to go get his son, but Summer said she’d get him while Kyle kept an eye on Ashland. Ashland commented that they were planning to keep him here until the cops arrived. Michael told Ashland not to try to run, because there were too many witnesses who saw him violating the restraining order. Kyle demanded to know what Ashland was thinking. Ashland said his crime was reassuring Harrison that he hadn’t been abandoned and that yet another person hadn’t walked out of his life. Ashland maintained that this was madness. He’d just wanted to have a moment to hold Harrison and say goodbye. He asked if they were all so cold as to think he was a threat to Harrison. Nikki contended that Ashland was a threat to everyone he came into contact with, and now he was going to jail, where he belonged.

Ashland asked if the cops who were on their way were on Victor’s payroll, just like the judge who signed the restraining order. Michael claimed he had no idea what Ashland was talking about. He said not everyone needed to be paid off to enforce the law. Diane approached and said Summer took Harrison to look at the ducks. Ashland sarcastically thanked Diane. She said she was just trying to protect her grandson. He accused her of setting this up. A cop came, and Nikki pointed out Ashland. Ashland claimed this was all an innocent mistake – he just happened to be at the park when Harrison ran to him, and he couldn’t bring himself to ignore the child. The cop was unmoved. Ashland didn’t want Harrison to see him get arrested, so Kyle went to distract him. Ashland wasn’t cuffed; he went with the cop peacefully.

Michael pointedly told Nikki that Diane did the right thing. Nikki grudgingly agreed. Summer returned and asked if Ashland was gone, and Michael said yes, thanks to Diane. Nikki also gave Diane credit. Diane hoped this showed Nikki that she was one of the good guys. Nikki said one right move didn’t erase a lifetime of destruction. Diane said that Nikki’s opinion wasn’t her main concern. She did this for Kyle, Summer and Harrison.

Later, Nikki and Michael were alone, he said they got lucky because Diane really came through. Nikki said Diane was in the right spot at the right time, as usual. He asked what that meant. She said that, no matter the situation, things always seemed to work out for Diane. He contended that Diane tried to do something good, but Nikki said Diane was trying to improve her image. He painted Diane in a good light, while Nikki argued that Diane never did anything selfless. Michael stated that, selfless or not, Diane protected Harrison. Nikki shifted gears and said the important thing was Ashland was finally facing legal consequences. Michael said Ashland would probably be out later today, since it was a misdemeanor, and he’d make bail. She said at least they sent a strong message. Michael thought it would be smart of Ashland to leave town for good.

Victoria walked into her office, where Victor and Nick were waiting. Victor was behind the desk. Victoria said that everything was set for the press conference. Victor protested that there were only three of them, and Nikki and Adam were missing. Victor and Nick wanted to hear how Victoria’s talk with Adam went. She said Adam tried to convince her not to fire Sally, and he said he and Sally broke up. Nick was skeptical, because the last few times he saw Sally and Adam together, they seemed fine. Victoria had no idea what was going on – she said Adam could be bluffing to keep Sally in her position. Victoria said the media division had become a very important part of the company, and she didn’t want to see it in potentially dangerous hands. She had to make a decision about Sally soon. Victor asked if Adam was coming back to Newman Media. Victoria knew it wasn’t what Victor wanted to hear, but Adam had no intention of going back. Nick was sure Adam had a plan. He said once again, Adam was the wildcard.

Victor admitted he’d hoped to announce at the press conference that Adam had returned to the company and that they were working together as a family. Victoria said that would’ve been a lovely photo op that would’ve lead to more conflict. He was still disappointed. She said that Adam didn’t want to be her subordinate. Victor asked if Victoria made any attempt to change Adam’s mind. She said no, because she thought Adam’s decision was best for the company. Victor thought Sally was the only one who could save his mind. Victoria said that if Sally tried, she failed, and if the breakup was real, Sally likely wouldn’t give up her promotion for her ex. “Well if she is no longer the key to Adam coming back to the company then what the hell use is she?,” Victor said. Victoria said she didn’t have a lot of faith in Sally running the business day to day, and if this breakup was real, Adam wouldn’t be around to guide Sally. However, Victoria didn’t have a real replacement. She vowed to make a decision about Sally by the end of the day.

Nikki went to work and told her family about Ashland’s arrest. Victoria thought Ashland had gone too far. Nick felt that the important thing was that Harrison was okay. Victoria noticed Victor didn’t seem surprised. Victor said he’d instructed Michael to be vigilant because Ashland would likely try to see his son. Nikki revealed that Diane was the one who tipped off Michael. Victor said Ashland was too despicable for Diane, but Nick thought that Diane was probably just looking out for her grandson. Nikki was adamant that Diane was trying to get people to let their guards down. She didn’t want Nick falling for it like Michael had. Victoria swore she’d never give anyone the benefit of the doubt again after what Ashland did. Nick thought that was cynical. Nikki didn’t want Victoria to adopt that attitude toward people as a whole, but she thought it was fine to treat Diane that way. Victor said the important thing was that Ashland was paying.

Ashland was lead to a holding cell, ranting all the way and vowing to sue the police department. The officer sarcastically called him a big shot and said she’d tell him when his lawyer arrived.

Sally was at Newman Media. She called Adam and left a message saying she loved him, but she needed to know what was going on. Chloe walked in, and a worried Sally said she hadn’t heard from Adam since last night, when he sent her a short text saying he was taking a trip to Chicago for the night. Sally thought it was weird, but Chloe said that of all the things she found odd about Adam, she wouldn’t rank that in the top 100. chloe asked if Sally and Adam argued before this. Sally said they were happy, and they’d just snuck off to their secret getaway suite for some private time. Chloe didn’t want the details. She suggested a work emergency. Sally revealed that Adam quit Newman – Victoria was back in charge, and Adam was out in the cold. Chloe asked if they should all duck for cover while Adam got payback. Sally said Adam promised her that he wouldn’t get into any trouble. “When he says something to me, he means it,” Sally said. Chloe said she’d been down this road before, and Sally was in for a rude awakening if she thought Adam was going to keep his word. Sally said maybe Adam changed his mind about not getting payback, or maybe he just lied to her, but either way, he could be exacting revenge on Victor and Victoria right now.

Chloe said maybe Sally was right, and Adam was telling the truth. Chloe was sorry Sally was experiencing this kind of uncertainty, but… Sally knew Chloe thought she should’ve expected this when she got into a relationship with Adam. Chloe assumed the job offer was on hold, now that everything was up in the air. Sally said she’d been assured that her job was safe. Chloe asked who assured Sally. Sally said Adam did. She vowed to stay in charge unless someone dragged her out of this office. Sally was confident she could prove herself, but she needed a second in command. Chloe was interested. Sally asked how Chelsea would take it. Chloe said Chelsea dissolved the partnership, and now she was out of a job, so this offer was perfectly timed.

Sally heard about the press conference and it made her think that her job might be about to disappear. She didn’t think it was a good sign that Newman Enterprises was doing a press conference and she was left out of the loop. Chloe wanted to stay positive. Sally and Chloe watched the press conference.

At the press conference, Victor said Victoria was back from sabbatical and would resume the position of CEO of Newman Enterprises, with Nikki as co-CEO and Nick as COO. Victoria said, with Victor’s guidance, they looked forward to a brand new era for Newman Enterprises. A reporter asked where Adam fit into this. Victoria said her brother filled in admirably while she was gone, and she appreciated that, but since her return, he’d decided to move on to something outside Newman. Back at Newman Media, Sally grumbled to the screen that the family mistreated Adam and used him. A reporter asked if Sally was still in charge at Newman Media. Victoria said possible staff realignments were still under consideration. Sally didn’t think that sounded good.

Back at Newman, Victoria, Nikki and Nick returned to the office after the press conference. Nikki thought the business community would feel confident now that Victoria’s steady hand was at the helm again. Victoria thought they sent the message hat they were out from under the dark cloud of Ashland Locke and that they were stronger than ever and anything was possible. Nikki asked if Victoria was talking about the business or herself. Victoria guessed it was a bit of both. She was glad Nikki and Nick were by her side. Nick predicted nothing but blue skies ahead. Nikki wondered where Victor was.

Ashland heard the cop yell that he had a visitor. He thought it was his lawyer, and he began to grumble about how long they took – a complaint that was cut short when Victor appeared. Victor told Ashland he belonged there, like a caged animal. Ashland said that his lawyers would have him out in no time. Victor didn’t agree. He said Ashland would go back to jail if he approached the boy again. Ashland said Victor was using the boy like a pawn and punishing him to kick Ashland while he was down. Victor said Ashland had this coming. Ashland didn’t agree, and he said Victor was the one who deserved to suffer. Victor reached through the bars and grabbed Ashland. “No one breaks my daughter’s heart and gets away with it. No one!,” Victor snarled. He vowed to follow Ashland wherever he went. Victor left.

At the Abbott house, Diane looked at the family photos. Summer walked in, and Diane asked how Harrison was. He was fine and having a snack. Summer said Harrison seemed happy to see Ashland, and luckily, it didn’t seem like Locke had a chance to fill Harrison’s head with any more lies. Diane said she was thrown by the whole incident. Kyle joined the group and said he was shaken because Ashland could’ve run off with Harrison and vanish for good. Summer thought they should just be grateful Harrison was home safe and sound. Diane worried Kyle was angry with her.

Kyle asked why he’d be angry with Diane, when she didn’t do anything wrong. “It’s not like you colluded with Ashland? Did you?,” Summer replied. The question made Kyle bristle, but Diane thought Summer had every right to ask. She said she didn’t collude with Ashland. She said she let Ashland get close to Harrison for a few moments, and she didn’t think Ashland said anything out of line, but he could’ve. She blamed herself for not thinking things through. He didn’t want her to blame herself. She said maybe she should’ve texted Kyle instead of Michael, but in the moment, she thought he’d know what to do from a legal standpoint. Kyle thought Diane was smart to reach out to the lawyer who set up the restraining order. Summer said Harrison was unscathed, and Diane handled it correctly. Kyle thanked Diane and said he was grateful.

Noah, Tessa and Mariah were at Dive Bar on top of the Athletic Club. He’d invited them out. Tessa had just gotten a second opinion on her vocal nodes, and it wasn’t good. Tessa was going in for surgery tomorrow. Mariah said they were going to be very very very very positive. Noah quipped that this was a lot of positivity. He also shared an optimistic message for Tessa. Allie came up, and Noah said tomorrow was her first day of work at Jabot. Noah got a text about New Hope, and Allie blurted out that he never talked to his dad about his plans.

Allie was so sorry – she didn’t mean to let that slip. Noah said it was okay, since he’d planned to get Mariah and Tessa’s advice on this anyway. He said he was thinking about leaving New Hope, but he wasn’t sure it was the right time, since his dad just went back to Newman. Tessa said Noah wasn’t the office type, so she was surprised he’d stayed at New Hope this long. Allie said Noah had to find his bliss. Noah still felt guilty leaving his dad and New Hope high and dry. Mariah asked if Noah was just going to stay at a job he didn’t want.

Noah said he was going to wait until Nick was more settled at Newman then tell him that he was leaving New Hope. Tessa asked if Noah was going back to art. He said he’d been bummed out on the art scene since London. Noah really enjoyed planning Tessa and Mariah’s wedding and decking out The Top of the Tower to look like a club. He was going to ask Victor if he could lease Top of the Tower and turn it into a permanent club. He said he could combine his experience in the art world and at The Underground and make something that was his own. He said maybe Tessa could perform there sometime. She said he couldn’t afford her, and everyone laughed. Mariah took Allie to the bar for drinks, and Tessa asked Noah how things were going with Allie. He really liked Allie. He didn’t know where it would go, but their first date was fun.

Mariah asked how things were going with Allie at the Abbott house. She said everyone had been really welcoming, but she got the feeling Diane was being nice in case she needed Allie in the future. Mariah advised sticking with the core Abbotts, and Noah too. Later, the foursome toasted.
