Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Jennifer looked at Abby’s picture and took a pill. She hid the bottle before Jack could see it. He told her that he saw Leo. He didn’t think Leo did it. She thought it was too much. Shawn called Jack and told him that Clyde killed Abby. He was for sure this time. Jack told her that they should go to the police station. She was overwhelmed and decided not to go. Jennifer started to cry and suddenly saw Abby appear. Jennifer reached out to her, but Abby backed away. She told her that she was taking pills again because she didn’t know how to go on without her. She wanted to know why Abby was there. Jennifer wanted to learn the truth badly. She looked at Abby’s dress and saw the blood on it. She reached out to her, but Abby disappeared. Jennifer wanted Abby to come back to her. Gwen went to see Leo at the station. She told him that Clyde set him up. He wanted to know why she showed up to tell him. She wanted to tell him since she was the reason why he was back in jail. She told him they were even. She told him about what’s going on with Jennifer. She thought Jack should know the truth. She didn’t want to make things worse with Jennifer. Later, Gwen ran into Jack at the station. He told her that Jennifer was at home alone. She thought he should have been concerned. Gwen told him about Jennifer taking pills. He didn’t want to believe it, but she said he should be worried about Jennifer.

Chad demanded that Clyde tell him what happened with Abby. He was going to give him seconds to live. Clyde told him what happened when he ran into Abby. He went to the DiMera mansion to strangle Belle so EJ could find her. He said he ran into Abby. They were talking and she noticed he was wearing black gloves. She knew he was lying about why he was there. He stopped her from getting away from him and he noticed the knife. Chad started to cry so Clyde wanted to stop talking. Chad wanted to hear more about what happened. He continued to tell Chad about the struggle he had with Abby until he stabbed her. Chad wanted to know if he enjoyed what he did to her. He told Chad that he saw Leo’s list of enemies and wanted to frame someone else for what he did. He followed Leo to Sonny’s office. Chad threatened him again. Clyde noticed that he didn’t pull the trigger. Jack went home and saw the empty pill bottle. Jennifer drove with Abby in the passenger seat.

Best Lines provided by Eva

Phyllis: Were your ears burning earlier? I was talking to Mariah, and she was saying you were doing a great job…

Diane: Oh, that’s nice to hear.

Phyllis: …Considering your lack of experience.

Diane: Well, you’ll get to see my work soon enough. I have been assigned to write the press release for the launch of Marchetti home.

Phyllis: Really? A novice?

Diane: You seem surprised.

Phyllis: No, I’M… well, yeah. I’m surprised that they’re giving it to someone with such a lack of experience.

Diane: Maybe it’s just not that important.

Phyllis: Oh, it’s very important, very important. You know what? It’s fine. It’s fine. It’ll be really good practice for you, yeah, you know, with the amount of revisions and rewrites that I’ll have.

Diane: Oh, I love a good rewrite. Yeah, that’s where the fun comes in, you know, perfecting and streamlining. It’s an important part of my job, especially when the people in charge don’t know what they want.

[ Clicks tongue ] You know, I — I would have *thought* you had learned by now, but maybe — maybe it’s true what they say about teaching an old dog new tricks.

Phyllis: Excuse me?

Diane: I would have thought your attacks against me would be more clever than, say — I don’t know — excessive rewrites or — oh! — Planting a false document on my computer. You know, maybe I gave you too much credit.

Phyllis: Oh, Diane. You haven’t given me enough credit.

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

Summer: No. You’re being weird. You come over here.

Kyle: [Sighs]

[Chuckles] You know how much I love you. I would follow you anywhere in the world, even right across the room, because you are the center of my universe, you and Harrison. How long have I known you?

Summer: Mm, close to forever.

Kyle: And in all that time, you’ve been a million things to me. My rock. My advisor. My best friend. Partner.

Summer: Tormentor.

[Both laugh]

Kyle: My love. We’ve been through challenges together, and everyone keeps talking about how young we are, but all I can think about is, “Summer and I — we have lived a lifetime together.” And you’ve watched me go down paths that have led me away from you, only to find that I’ve always followed the path that brought me right back home.

Summer: It has been the wildest ride of my life, kyle.

Kyle: [Chuckles] But you didn’t sign up for this, raising a child that you didn’t give birth to.

Summer: Harrison is my son, biological or not.

Kyle: I know. And that’s what I love most about you, the way you open up your heart just to let people in. And I thank whatever higher power put me in your sights. I know we’ve had our obstacles.

Summer: You. It was definitely mostly you.

Kyle: But you never gave up.

Summer: Mnh-mnh.

Kyle: We’re the best part of each other’s stories, and every time I turn the page, you’re doing something else that blows my mind or makes me know we made the right choice when we chose each other. And I would choose you every day.

Summer: Even over ice cream?

Kyle: [Laughs] Yes, even over my beloved mocha fudge. Now, just please — just let me finish, okay?

Young & The Restless Transcript

Y&R logo

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Phyllis: Oh, my goodness. Look at you, showing up to work with a big basket for your bosses. It may look like you’re trying to get special treatment.

Jack: Wow. Beautiful basket. Are you giving or receiving?

Phyllis: Everybody knows that diane is a taker, not a giver.

Diane: I’m giving. Since we’ve decided to turn over a new leaf, I thought i would extend an olive branch in the form of pastries.

Phyllis: Sugary sweet.

Diane: [ Laughs ] I realize it’s not the most subtle peace offering. I didn’t realize how big it was when I ordered it. But, um, phyllis, you probably shouldn’t eat all of that by yourself. But you can look at the size as a symbol of my determination to win back your trust and forgiveness.

Phyllis: Your timing is impeccable, isn’t it? You just showed up with this huge, unmissable basket right as jack was coming out of his office. Yeah, that’s not subtle at all.

[ Chuckles ]

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Allie: What?

Noah: Nothing.

Allie: Am I drooling or something?

Noah: No, you’re just beautiful first thing in the morning.

Allie: [ Sighs ] I can’T. I, um — I have to get to the lab.

Noah: Come on. You could be a little late, right?

Allie: No, I can’T. I have to be on time today since I took yesterday afternoon off to help plan for summer and kyle’s party. Why didn’t you tell me what time it was, huh?

Noah: Guess I wasn’t in a rush to let you go.

Billy: Hey. I’m sorry. It, uh, took longer at the park than I intended.

Lily: Hey. No, it’s fine. Are you okay?

Billy: Just harder than I — than I expected. Um…what did I miss?

Lily: Um…uh, well, we, um — we met with audra. And she was amazing. We all agreed that jill made the right choice, having her guide us through the ipo process.

Billy: Good.

Lily: So, she, um, sent over preliminary numbers, which was very fast, I think because we had the books together for the merger. I think that helped streamline the process.

Billy: Okay, great. That all sounds — that all sounds good.

Lily: Yeah, and devon said that he was worried that, you know, maybe your heart’s not in it.

Billy: Well, I hope you told him that that wasn’t true.

Lily: I did. I did. I didn’t say anything about johnny. I didn’t think it was my place. And, honestly, by the look on your face, I’m really concerned with how things went. Tell me what happened.

Nate: Is now a good time?

Victoria: Yes. Of course. I’m sorry. Come in. Have a seat. Give me the update.

[ Door closes ]

Nate: Our strategy’s working. I’m on the inside, playing the secondary role my family thinks I should have played all along. As a result, everything’s going smoothly.

Victoria: You’re sure nobody suspects anything?

Nate: Positive. All it took was a complete absence of an opinion on my part. (Kid) why aren’t there any buildings out there?

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Nate: As I mentioned on the phone, the decision’s official. Chancellor-winters is moving ahead with the public offering. And we met with an ipo advisor that jill sent in. Her name is audra charles.

Victoria: That name doesn’t ring a bell.

Nate: Everyone thought she was impressive. And she thinks chancellor-winters is in a perfect place to pull off an offering.

Victoria: You know, it’s risky bringing in an outsider. You’re putting a lot in her hands.

Nate: Well, she did her homework on the company and its principals. She hit the ground running, and her presentation hit all the major points. I was thoroughly impressed.

Victoria: Well, I would just say, keep your eyes open. You’re trusting this woman not only with chancellor-winters’ future, but yours and now mine.

Nate: Don’t worry. I’m not going to let our plans be derailed by her or anyone else.

Victoria: Are you sure that this is what you really want to do, that this is the right move for you?

Nate: Why do you ask that? You think I’m not up to running chancellor-winters?

Allie: Last night was fantastic.

Noah: Yeah, it was.

Allie: Okay, I’m not just talking about that.

[ Both laugh ] I’m also talking about the party.

Noah: Yeah. Yeah. It started a little rough, but I’m glad we can bring all of our friends and family together to celebrate.

Allie: At your club.

Noah: I know. You know, I’m really glad we didn’t have to put the event description on the invites.

Allie: [ Laughs ]

Noah: That would have been a tough one. You know, glam club’s soft launch/non-bachelor/bachelorette summer/kyle pre-vow renewal party, something.

Allie: Yeah. Yeah. That’s a little bit of a word salad.

[ Both laugh ] But I think the evening ended up flowing really organically, and kyle and summer seemed to love it. Also, baby, what a meaningful way it was for you to debut your club. I am so blown away by your vision, by your ambition, and by the ways that you showed your family how much they mean to you.

Noah: Yeah, I’m really happy you were there. You, uh… you mean a lot to me.

Allie: Okay. Okay. You — you are not playing fair. I have to go.

Noah: Okay, but coffee on your break. I don’t want to wait all day to see you again.

Allie: I have to get to jabot.

Noah: [ Breathes deeply ]

Diane: There’s nothing subtle about this situation. We both almost lost our jobs, jobs that we cannot and should not take for granted. We’ve been given an incredible opportunity not only to excel professionally, but to do so surrounded by the people that we love the most.

Phyllis: Okay. I almost lost my job because of your emotional outburst, alright? Let’s not get it twisted. And you walked in here on edge, and I was the recipient of your fury. By the way, what was that about? You had just seen victor. Did he tell you that nicki’s in L.A.? Oh, are you — are you worried that she’s going to uncover some secret about you?

Jack: Wait, what are you talking about? Is this something I should know about?

Phyllis: No, no, no! I mean, I’m just making friendly conversation. I mean, that’s what this basket’s about, right? Being friends. And I think that last night — I think that we came closer to achieving that goal.

Diane: Oh, oh, absolutely.

Phyllis: Absolutely, abso– hey, why did you leave so early? I was looking for you, and I saw you slip out. You acted like you didn’t want anyone to notice.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Billy: Johnny was rattled. He was angry, and he was hurt. I mean, he didn’t ask to know who his biological mom was, and now he’s thinking everyone around him knew this whole time and he didn’T. And I don’t blame him. I would be upset, as well.

Lily: Yeah. I mean, look, that was always going to be a consequence of telling him no matter when you did it. And I get why you chose to do it now, although I do kind of feel like it had to do more with the adults in his life than what he was going through. So I’m sure it was scary for him trying to process all that information out of the blue.

Billy: He’s my little kid. He’s just my boy. And he’s been through so much. And now I feel like I — I don’t know — I didn’t — maybe i didn’t make the right decision. Maybe I was too easily convinced by chelsea that this was the right thing to do. You know, when I told her that victoria and I were about to talk to johnny, she immediately jumped to inserting herself into his life, like this was step one in the bigger plan for the two of them.

Lily: What do you mean, exactly?

Billy: I think maybe she’s trying to figure out a way to be his mom. I get bladder leaks.

Lily: You think chelsea is trying to be johnny’s mom?

Billy: She didn’t say that outright. But I don’t know. There’s something about the way that she reacted when I told her that victoria and I had had the conversation with johnny. She immediately jumped into inserting herself into his life. She wanted to see him. She wanted to be there for him, support him in this situation. And I just think it’s completely inappropriate. She’s not his parent.

Lily: Yeah, no, I’m with you. I agree.

Billy: You know, victoria warned that this could happen — you know, chelsea could keep pushing. And I — I should have listened to her. But to be honest, there was a part of me that felt for chelsea, you know? She’s been in a bad place, and she’s right — johnny was going to find out about his biological mother at a certain point. And her arrangement made sense. But right now, I did not account for the amount of pain that it was gonna cause right in this moment, especially if chelsea keeps pushing.

Lily: Well, I mean, look, you could be jumping ahead, you know? I mean, this just happened a few hours ago. She could think about it and, you know, back off.

Billy: There’s a benefit to knowing who your biological parent is, but right now the only thing I can think about is the amount of pain that my son is in. And all I want to do is stop it.

Lily: Trust me. I know how hard this is. You know, I remember when i found out that malcolm was my biological father, and I felt the same. I was really hurt, and I was really angry. But at the end of the day, i always felt like neil was my dad. That never went away. And I know that, you know, I was a bit older than johnny was when he found out, but I think no matter what age you are, it’s a really confusing time.

Billy: My priority is protecting johnny at all costs.

Summer: I don’t know how we slept in that late.

Kyle: I guess the surprise party really wore us out.

Summer: And it has been one surprise after another for me lately. A few days ago, I didn’t even know that there was going to be a vow renewal ceremony, much less a bachelor/bachelorette party.

Kyle: Hey. Non-bachelor/bachelorette. You forgot you’re already married.

Kyle: And you better not ever forget it.

Kyle: Mm. You’re the best thing that ever happened to me.

Summer: Husband and wife forever.

Kyle: Remind to thank noah for last night.

Noah: You are quite welcome, sir.

Kyle: Hey. Your club did not disappoint.

Summer: It is going to be a huge success.

Noah: Okay, well, you might be a little biased.

Summer: I might be, but i also have a knack for predicting these things.

Allie: And I keep telling him the same thing.

Noah: Again, biased. But I will give myself some credit for trying out my club on something equally successful — your marriage.

Summer: We are so excited to renew our vows.

Kyle: Mmm.

Victoria: I am not backing out of our deal. I value your instincts and your ideas, and I think that chancellor-winters will flourish& under your leadership. However, this is a tricky endeavor that we’re venturing into, and if we do not do it right, there could be possible legal ramifications for both of us.

Nate: I can handle things on my end. I’ve taken all the necessary steps to be prepared to sell my shares to newman. And I’m sure you’ve taken all the steps, as well. Which makes me think that’s not what’s really on your mind. What is it that has you second-guessing now?

Victoria: I want to be certain that you’re willing to go the distance. You know, you’re risking the wrath of your family when they find out that you’ve betrayed them.

Nate: Betrayed them? What I’m doing is going to lead chancellor-winters to the next level of success. My family has continually told me that I need to prove myself. So I’m going to do just that. I’m setting the stage for them to witness my leadership and vision, as well as participate in the direction of the company moving forward. I am going to introduce a new way of doing things that will include and value us all. How can that possibly be betrayal?

Jack: I was actually wondering where you went last night, as well.

Diane: Phyllis has to turn every little thing into some big mystery. I did not sneak out. I was tired. It was a young person’s party. I’d had a long day. So I went home and I went to bed.

Phyllis: Oh, the old and tired defense.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Diane: [ Sighs ] You know, i am — I am trying so hard to bury the hatchet with you. So, let me just ask. What can I do to finally change your mind about me?

Phyllis: Um…okay. Uh…what? Oh. What can you do? Let me see. Well, the basket’s not gonna cut it. Um…what can you do? There’s absolutely nothing you can do to change my mind about you. -Fixed. -That’s my son.

Jack: Come on, phyllis. Give a little. You two cannot stay on this roller coaster of mutual destruction.

Phyllis: You didn’t let me finish. I have more to say!

Jack: Okay.

Phyllis: I have to finish. First of all, the basket’s tacky, okay? Um, but our constant fighting almost cost me my job here, a job that I love. And if I’m to be very honest, I, too, am so tired of this. I am so tired. But not because of the party last night. That was fun. I’m just tired of our constant battling.

Diane: I find that hard to believe because it seems like you enjoy it.

Phyllis: Oh, really?

Diane: Mm.

Phyllis: Well, maybe I come off aggressive sometimes.

Diane: Oh! And self-aware! Once a decade. Look at that.

Phyllis: Well, this feuding, if that’s what you’d rather call it — all of this feuding is just exhausting me. And it’s a burden I can’t carry anymore. And I figure if kyle and jack can move on from your manipulation and your lies and your betrayal, then I can maybe do it, too. I mean, they are flesh and blood.

Jack: Keep going. You’re doing great.

Phyllis: And I’m willing to do something. Listen, you’re never, ever, ever gonna convince me you’ve changed. You know why? Because I have to convince myself. I have to do that for me. And I am willing to meet you halfway, so…

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Phyllis: Let’s figure out a way to make this work, diane. Okay?

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Allie: I only have a few minutes before I have to get back to work.

Noah: And that is why i ordered ahead.

Allie: It’s perfect.

Noah: Yeah, well, you take your coffee black, so it’s pretty easy to remember.

Allie: Still. Points.

Noah: I didn’t think I could be this happy with anyone.

Allie: Same.

Noah: In the past, for me at least, there’s always been ups and downs and constant questioning how the other person feels, having to fight for love, appreciation.

Allie: Wait. Are you trying to say that we’re too easy?

Diane: I appreciate you making the effort.

Phyllis: Well, I appreciate your gesture. Hey, why don’t you take this home?

Kyle: Everything okay here?

Jack: Yeah, actually, it is. Yes.

Summer: Mom, can I talk to you for a moment?

Phyllis: Sure.

Summer: Jack, do you mind if we use your office?

Jack: Absolutely. Please.

Phyllis: Hey, I was doing my best to be civil out there. I was doing my best. Come on. I mean, if you don’t approve of what I was doing, then you’re gonna have to trade me in for another mom.

Summer: Thank you. I could tell that you were really trying, and that means so much to me.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Yesterday was a wake-up call. It was crazy. I can’t keep on feeling this way.

[ Voice breaking ] I can’t keep on doing it, summer, especially when you and jack and kyle have all moved on. I mean, you’ve forgiven diane. I don’t trust her, and I can’t be convinced that she’s changed. But I can’t harbor all of this hatred. You know what I mean? So, honestly, hey, if I’m wrong, then great for our family. But if I am right — and I know this from personal experience — secrets have a way of coming out. And I won’t have to do one damn thing to make that happen.

Audra: Victoria newman?

Victoria: Yes. Have we met?

Audra: Not in person, but I’m a huge fan. Audra charles.

Victoria: Nice to meet you.

Audra: I’m sorry if I’m being a little forward, but if you follow the business news and/or things happening in genoa city, then you know all about you. I happen to be tracking both because I’m in town doing some consulting for chancellor-winters.

Victoria: Welcome.

Audra: You know, I’ve been reading about newman enterprises’ latest acquisitions, and in my humble opinion, the company seems to be heading in a bigger and better direction with you at the helm.

Billy: This all looks good. I will send it out immediately.

Chelsea: Hey. Uh, sorry for interrupting. Do you have a minute?

Billy: I, um —

Lily: I’ll, um — I’ll give you two some privacy.

Lily: No. It’s okay. Stay. I just wanted to thank billy again for everything. I, um — I really appreciate you being in my corner and going to bat for me with victoria.

Billy: Look, chelsea, your reasoning for telling johnny — it made a lot of sense, right? I mean, he deserves to know the truth. He’s going to find out about his biological mother at a certain point. But right now, I have to tell you, I am definitely second-guessing my decision to tell him.

Chelsea: Billy, it’s a great thing he heard the news from you and victoria as opposed to someone else. And I’m really hoping going forward we can just go in a positive direction. I want you to know I’ve thought long and hard about what you said, that johnny is not ready to have me participate in his life. I heard you, and I’m not gonna try to force anything. But I was hoping you would give him something for me. I bought this when I was pregnant with johnny. And even after I gave him up, I kept it. I’m not even sure why. Maybe — maybe it was for a moment like this.

Billy: I think it’s a little too soon for that, chelsea.

Chelsea: Well, you know, i let connor play with it when he was a baby, but it never really felt right because it was always johnny’s blanket. And I’m hoping I can help him ease into a place of acceptance. And I feel like a gift like this could show him that I never stopped thinking about him. Billy, I do not intend to be a threat to you or victoria or johnny. I just want to be another person in his life that cares about him. And I want him to know that. Want your clothes to smell freshly

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Lily: May I see the blanket?

Chelsea: Oh, yeah.

Lily: Thanks.

Billy: Look, I can appreciate this, and I know that your heart is in the right place. I just find it inappropriate. This will always be johnny’s decision, and he will make this decision on his own time. And if we keep pushing him, well, he could shut down from all of us, and that would not be good. We are adults. We have had years to process the choices that we have made. My son is now dealing with this for the last few hours, and it is something that he didn’t ask to be a part of.

Chelsea: I’m — I’m sorry you see it that way.

Billy: Look, chelsea, I don’t want to be harsh. I really don’T. But you’re overstepping. So, no more gifts, no more anything unrequested. Again, this will be johnny’s decision, and I will support him no matter what. If he decides to reach out to you as his biological mother or as connor as his brother, again, that will be his choice. But until he decides to do that, you need to back off.

Lily: Look, chelsea, this is difficult for everyone, but honestly, it’s even harder for johnny. He has no idea how to even fathom the adult decision making that’s going on around him. But I know that in time, you’ll find your way through this.

Victoria: I happen to be friendly with devon and lily over at chancellor-winters. What kind of consulting are you doing for them?

Audra: Due to confidentiality, I can’t disclose the nature of my work.

Victoria: Oh, right, of course. I’m — I’m sorry.

Audra: I mean, I can say that this assignment should keep me in town for a while, so I would love to get together some time, perhaps over lunch. I have every intention of getting to know all the players in town.

Jack: Looks like we all had the same idea for lunch.

Kyle: Ah! We should have texted you. Could have saved you the trip.

Diane: But I never mind a few extra minutes with my favorite guys.

Kyle: I was just telling mom how much summer and I appreciate her efforts to mend fences with phyllis.

Jack: And phyllis does get some credit for meeting you, well, almost halfway.

Kyle: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: Hey, it turns out people actually can change.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Kyle: Uh, excuse me for a moment.

Diane: Jack, I want to thank you for always being able to see things with an objective viewpoint. Maybe things are different with phyllis this time. Maybe all we needed was some perspective. Between kyle’s amazing party and the threat of being fired, maybe things just came into focus.

Kyle: I forgot about a meeting summer and I scheduled. I have to get back.

Diane: Oh, no problem. I’ll bring your food to the office.

Kyle: Thanks. See you later.

Jack: Listen, I’m kind of curious about something. I didn’t bring it up with kyle here. Um, phyllis mentioned something about nikki discovering things in L.A. Is there something you haven’t told us? Who says you have to spend more on skincare

Diane: You know the newmans are not my biggest fans. Victor mentioned that nikki was in L.A., And then he implied that there could be some bad news coming my way. But I honestly can’t imagine what her trip has to do with me.

Jack: One of victor’s favorite pastimes is unsettling people with vaguely ominous threats. I’ve been on the receiving end of a few of those, as well as some that are not so vague.

Diane: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: Look, kyle said that nikki is in L.A. To buy a custom dress for summer from the forresters.

Diane: Oh. Well, then that makes perfect sense. I mean, I have said over and over again that there is nothing anyone can discover about my time in L.A. That could undercut or contradict anything I’ve said since I came back to town. Anyway, I am just going to enjoy what happened with phyllis today and hope that we have put the war behind us.

Jack: I hope so, too. It has exhausted me almost as much as it has exhausted you.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Noah: Yeah. Yeah, we’re too easy.

Allie: You’re doubling down?

Noah: Easy in the best ways.

Allie: No. Nope. Try again.

Noah: Look, I just mean that we don’t have to try. We’re comfortable with each other. It’s special.

Allie: Okay, that’s a little better.

Noah: I can just be myself around you. I’m not constantly worried about when the other shoe is gonna drop. I hope you feel the same way.

Allie: I do.

Noah: I want more days and nights like we had yesterday at the club.

Allie: Well, maybe you could throw an after party for kyle and summer’s ceremony.

Noah: Yeah, that’s a good idea. You know, this would be the second wedding that you and i have gone together.

Allie: Yeah, but we weren’t together then.

Noah: Yeah, but I knew it would happened eventually.

Allie: Oh, really? That’s a little overconfident, considering that we had, uh, just met that day.

Noah: Okay, well, I was hoping it would happen. And all this time, who knew I was waiting for you?

Allie: [ Sighs ] I don’t want to go, but I have to get back to work.

Noah: [ Sighs heavily ]

Allie: I promise I’ll see you later.

Noah: Okay.

Chelsea: Hey.

Victoria: Now is not a great time.

Chelsea: Victoria, I wanted to thank you for speaking with johnny earlier. Billy told me it didn’t go as smoothly as you’d hoped.

Victoria: It went exactly the way that I worried it would.

Chelsea: I’m sorry. I know this is hard on you and billy — and especially johnny.

Victoria: Yes, it is.

Chelsea: I still believe once the shock wears off, there is a future where johnny will want me in his life. If we all work together, maybe we can slowly nudge him in that direction.

Nate: Hey.

Elena: Hi.

Nate: How was your day?

Elena: Still working. Just reviewing charts, but I can finish them upstairs.

Nate: Hey, hold on. Hold on. It’s pretty clear you’re trying to avoid me.

Elena: I mean, after the last few days, I think that’s the best course of action.

Nate: Because you won’t talk to me unless I fall in line with your advice.

Elena: Nate, if I say something, it turns into a fight. If I don’t say anything, it turns into a fight. So I can’t have an opinion, and I can’t stay quiet. So, what do you want me to do?

Nate: [ Sighs ]

Nate: All I’ve ever asked you to do was to try to understand where I’m coming from and why i feel like I have to do this.

Elena: But you don’t have to do anything. You are making a very specific choice when there are plenty of other options. You could just leave the company. Or you could slow down and actually learn the ropes. But instead, you are choosing to hurt the people who are supposed to mean the most to you.

Nate: The people who are supposed to me the most to me have no problem overlooking me or belittling me.

Elena: [ Sighs ]

Nate: There’s no reason for me to play small ball when i have big ideas, strong leadership skills, the ability to execute.

Elena: I am sorry, but how exactly do you know that you have those skills? And what exactly have you successfully executed?

Nate: Nothing. But that’s because devon refuses to let me do anything.

Elena: It’s his business. He gets to make that call. Yes, you have ideas, but you need to let your boss warm up to them. Give him time to adjust to the new dynamic. But instead you’re mad at devon. So you want to hurt everyone else who’s directly or indirectly involved.

Nate: Who exactly is being hurt?

Elena: Lily will be hurt. Jill. Billy. And right now, you are hurting me because this is — this is more than just business. This is about morality. It’s about family, relationships, and love. You know, the things that still stand when everything else falls apart. I don’t know who you are anymore, nate, but you are not the man that I fell in love with, the one who used to help people. And I don’t know if I can be around this version of you anymore.

Nate: What are you saying?

Elena: [ Sighs ] I guess I’m saying… I think we need some time apart.

Nate: [ Exhales sharply ]

Lily: I’m really sorry you’re going through this.

Billy: I’m sorry. I know you got a lot on your plate right now, and there’s a lot to prepare for with the ipo. And I will be — I’ll be 100% in a bit.

Lily: No, you don’t have to. I’m not asking you to.

Billy: It was just a rough day.

Lily: I know, and you’re handling it really well. You’re just trying to figure out what’s best for your son.

Billy: I wish I knew that this was not the right time to tell him about chelsea.

Lily: Well, you know what? It’s done.

Billy: Yeah.

Lily: It’s done, right? And chelsea was right about one thing — all you can do now is just forge ahead in a positive direction… ’cause everyone is struggling. Everyone, including you. You’re the emotional rock of the group. You know, you’re trying to figure it all out. You’re trying to take care of everyone. And I know how exhausting that can be. So, if you want to vent, you know, or… take a break from anything… it’s okay.

Victoria: The only direction that we’re going in is the one that’s right for johnny.

Chelsea: I just want what’s best for him.

Victoria: But what I’m hearing from you is what you want. And this is exactly what I knew would happen. You’re trying to weasel your way into my son’s life, even after billy obviously told you that johnny doesn’t want anything to do with you.

Chelsea: Johnny is still a child. He doesn’t know what he wants.

Victoria: Oh, wait, hold on a second. Now he’s a child? I thought he was old enough to know the truth. So, which is it? So none of us are going to be nudging johnny along. But what billy and i are gonna be doing is reminding him every day that he’s loved and that his life is not gonna change and that he’s not obligated to build and maintain a relationship that he’s uncomfortable with.

Chelsea: I love him, too. I’m just asking that he be open to knowing every part of himself.

Victoria: Oh, I’m sorry. You gave up your rights to johnny when you signed away your rights as his mother. This is his life. This is his decision to make. And I hope with every ounce of my being that you’re not trying to influence him because I am the only mother that he has ever known and I will not stand for it.

Summer: Still have a few minutes before our meeting. How did diane seem at society?

Kyle: She was in pretty good spirits, but tell me what happened when you pulled phyllis aside.

Summer: Oh, she’s still not ready to fully trust diane, but she sees now how useless it is to continue their feud. She wants her family to be happy.

Kyle: That is a pretty good start.

Summer: Our moms making peace is the perfect way to go into our vow renewal ceremony. Nothing is going to get in the way of the celebration now.

Jack: Thank you. And thank you for waiting for my food with me.

Diane: Oh, of course. I couldn’t leave behind such great company.

[ Cellphone pings ] Excuse me.

Jack: Everything alright?

Diane: Oh, yes, ev– everything’s fine. Um, I’ve — I’ve got to run. Just enjoy your lunch.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

here you go. Here’s some tea. Lavender to help you relax. What do you know about tea? You’re a coffee importer.

[ Chuckles ] Maybe I’ll branch out. I’m sorry. No, hey, it’s okay. It does smell good. Hey. Did you get any sleep? Every time I closed my eyes, all I could see was brando in that hospital bed. Oh, honey. Hey, babe. Oh, honey, I’m so glad to see you. What’s going on? Diane miller was brought in with a stab wound tonight. Diane miller? Mm-hmm. Wow. First ava, then brando, and now diane. Yeah, it looks that way. Is she okay? They’re operating right now, and that — that’s all I know. Okay. But it’s got me really on edge. No. Of course it does. I texted trina to check on her, but she’s with rory, and I just, I didn’t want to tell her about diane then. I know. Baby, it’s — it’s gonna be okay. How? When? I-I don’t know. But thanks to that

invader article, at least we’re all watching our backs. Speaking of that

[Scoffs] Jordan feels some type of way about whoever leaked it to the press. Did she say something to you? Well, she wasn’t very impressed that I defended the source. Because I’m trying to catch a violent criminal. And to that end, I need your help.

[ Clears throat ] I’ve been briefed on the diane miller attack. You were the first person at the scene? Got there just before ms. Davis and mr. Chase. Sorry, I won’t be able to tell you much. Oh, I don’t know about that, dex. I’m betting you got plenty to tell me. Oh, olivia, I just feel so bad. Because my family was going through hell and they couldn’t get in touch with me. Yeah, I already talked to everybody, and I wanted to jump on the first plane home after I heard about brando. Yeah, I know. Sonny and I both agreed that it’s probably safer if I stay here. I know.

[ Knock at door ] Oh. Hey, olivia, let me call you back. There’s someone at the door. Okay. Thank you. Bye.

[ Sighs ] Someone order some room service?


Wow. I didn’t know places like this even existed.

[ Axes clattering ] Yeah. Well, my mom told me about it. She said it’s super fun. I’m ready to try it. All right, rory. Let’s start, uh, collecting our weapons. Or should we even say that to a cop? I’m off duty. Probably not. All right, let’s go. Well, finally, we get a little double-date action with the guys. Yeah, I know. It’s so cute.

[ Chuckles ] I really like rory. I’m so, so happy that you ended up with him. As opposed to spencer? Rory is definitely preferable.

[ Chuckles ] Isn’t he? I want to speak to a lawyer. That is your right. And you should. What do you got here? What are these? My dog tags. Hm. They qualify as a lethal weapon?

[ Laughs ] Well, I certainly hope not. But you tell me, dex. I don’t know what happened to ms. Miller, okay? I don’t know how many times or in what way I need to see that to where you actually believe me. What makes you think I don’t believe you? The way you came at me when brando was in the hospital. The way you’re questioning me now. It’s clear you and your boss have made up your minds. I haven’t made up my mind about anything. But so far, you’re the only person that could have seen what happened to diane. Right, but I didn’T. Okay? When I came in, she was on the ground, bleeding. What were you doing in the garage in the first place? This is your chance, man, to go on the record and clear up any misconceptions. I was working. Doing what? Your father asked me to lock up behind diane while he took sasha home. So you were there when she was attacked? I must have been. Okay, so a garage is a pretty big open space. How could you not have seen anything? I was outside. You’re good at your job, right, dex? Ask your dad. I will. But right now, I’m asking you. When sonny ordered you to stick around, how could you not have seen someone enter the garage? It feels to me… like you’re lying about something. What is it? Now that spencer is not in my life, let’s just say… I’m happier than I’ve been in a while. With rory.

[ Laughs ] I’m just ready for, like, a fun, uncomplicated relationship. Well, you deserve it. Okay, um, now your turn. You and cam went through a rough patch. Yeah, but we’re out of it. And you told him about the whole dumpster thing with dex? Well, just because we’re together doesn’t mean we need to tell each other everything. Didn’t cam prove that by keeping spencer’s secret? Hey, guys. What are we talking about? Nothing.Nothing. You know, “nothing” means us, right? Oh, 100%. Oh, the egos on these two. I, uh, really appreciate you being here, but please go. Get back to your lives. I can stay. You’ve done enough. And the truth is, nothing’s gonna make this better. We just have to live through it as best we can. All right, uh, I’ll go. But listen, if you need anything, you can call me at any time, okay? And that goes for you, too.

[ Sasha sighs ] Can I get a hug? Thanks, sonny. All right. Hey, uh, sonny, how about I walk you out? Yeah, come on. But I’m gonna be back ’cause you can’t get rid of me that easily, all right? Hey. I didn’t want to broach this, especially in front of sasha, but what are we gonna do about the guardianship? Okay, diane’s filing a continuance with the judge right now. But the thing is, sasha’s still under guardianship. But what does that even mean without brando? Are they going to try to appoint some interim person, a stranger? No, they’re just — they’re just gonna give sasha some time to grieve before she gets into all the details. I just can’t believe this. On top of everything else, she has to contend with that.

[ Cellphone rings ] Hi, alexis. Whoa, hold on. Wha– what? I know dr. Finn was on hand when diane was brought in, but he’s been called to a patient emergency. I was hoping, since you two worked together on brando’s case, that you might be able to provide some helpful information. Finn did brief me, so, yeah, I-I can help you as much as I can. And this conversation will stay at G.H. This time? What’s that supposed to mean? You saw the article in the invader. The leak came from the hospital. I’m just reiterating the need for discretion to keep important details under wraps.

[ Exhales deeply ] That always was your area of expertise, wasn’t it? I’ll leave you to it. Sorry.

[ Chuckles nervously ] The, uh, divorce papers situation has him a bit — you don’t need to explain curtis to me. Can we move somewhere more private to discuss diane miller? Right this way. What are you doing here? “What are you doing here,” asin, “it’s so good to see you”? Of course it’s good to see you.

[ Sighs ] Phew. But I told you I was fine. Yeah. Yeah, I was already on the plane at that point. To jacksonville? How did you know I was here? It wasn’t easy, I’ll tell you that much. But lucky for you, I got skills. Yeah, you got spinelli on the case.

[ Laughs ] No, actually, I was gonna call him next, but I, um — I called mia. At the seminar. Yeah, she told me that your flight had an emergency landing in jacksonville. Thank god you’re all right, so… here I am. You came… you came all the way down here for me? I came all the way down here for you. So, are you gonna invite me in or what? Come in.

[ Chuckles ] Okay, thanks for letting me know. Hey! What happened? Was it another attack? Diane. Diane miller? Yeah, I gotta g– I gotta get to G.H. No, of course. Go. Yeah. Okay. You stay — stay — stay safe. Yeah, you — you too.


I’m assuming that you spoke to your family. I know about brando. I’m so sorry. So am I. I feel so awful for sasha. I mean, first her son, and now this. It’s unfathomable. It is. And I’m so sorry I was out of touch. I mean, I — [ Chuckles ] Come on. You lost your phone. That happens. During a family emergency? Come on. You know, I was gonna be on the first flight home when I found out about brando, but then I talked to sonny, and, well, I mean, I decided it was safer if I stay here. Yeah, I’m sure you hate that, but you’re right. I mean, there’s a violent psychopath on the loose. It’s just better that you stay away. Yeah, but just hearing that, I feel like I’m abandoning my kids. Hey, hey, I get that, but you know that sonny’s never gonna let anything happen to them. I know. I know. He’s got security on michael. He doubled security on josslyn. And donna and avery are staying with him. Yeah, and the penthouse is like a fortress. Your kids are fine. Yes.

[ Exhales deeply ] I know. I still can’t believe you tracked me down just tell me about brando. It wasn’t just that. Okay. What else? Brando’s a baby here. A baby who was so proud to serve his country. But god, that war made a mess of him. I barely recognized him when he got back. We lost so much time. If only I’d known how little time we had. But when you did reconnect, I would say that you made the most of it, wouldn’t you? Brando loved you, gladys. I drove him crazy. He didn’t love you any less. I just wish I had one more chance to tell him how much he meant to me. I wish that, too. Your wedding… that no one was invited to.

[ Chuckles ] If I could do it again, I would celebrate with the whole world. All our friends and family. What? It’s just hitting me that I am — I’m completely alone now. Without brando, I have no family left. You listen to me. Yo u and I became familythe second you married my son. That doesn’t change now. So I got news for you, kid. You are stuck with me. I’m so glad. Do you have any idea where diane miller’s room is and what kind of condition shes’s in? Are you family? Um… I’m sorry. I can’t share that information with anyone but family. Diane’s in surgery. How do you know that? I have my sources. Well, I’m surprised y-you’re sharing that with — last time w-we saw each other, it was a one-sided friendship. I owe you for what you did for my father. He told me that you found out he was on antipsychotic meds, and yet you kept it quiet. Yeah, well, you know, I know something about that diagnosis, and I wanted him to decide how he was gonna handle it. I appreciate you looking out for him. Well, truth be told, you know, I was looking out for him not just for him, but I respect the hell out of you.

[ Cheering ] Okay. Right on. This is so satisfying. So, what do you say we make this a friendly competition? Oh. Oh, god. Here we go. What? Okay, if you haven’t picked up on it already, joss is totally extra when it comes to the competitive department. Okay, well, what is the point of throwing these things if nobody’s keeping score? Hey, I’m game. See? I told you I like him. All right. What do you say we do a tournament, we pair off, and the winners compete for ultimate glory? Okay, yeah, that sounds good. All right. Let the games begin. Diane’s wound was consistent with how ava’s and brando’s presented. So

it’s likely a hookwas used on diane, too? Yeah, but the only difference was, the doctors noticed when they were operating, that the wound, it was more precisely inflicted. The attacker’s improving their technique. Was a tox screen run? It confirms the presence of the same venom that was found in brando’s system. And thankfully, finn found an antivenom, and he was able to race it over to the surgical team very quickly. The last I heard, diane was stable and, um, the procedure was going well. Thank god for that. But you seem like something is still weighing heavily on your mind. The last time our victim survived, our assailant made sure the next strike would kill. I doubt this will be any different. I’m telling the truth! Sonny told me to lock up, not keep watch, so I didn’t have eyes on the door. Then what were you doing? Working. Answering texts and emails. You can check my phone. There’s time stamps on everything. Okay. The quartermaine picnic. No one can verify your whereabouts before you found ava and josslyn. I was bringing paperwork for your father to sign, okay? The front drive was crowded, so I parked on the access road. And what about charlie’s? What about it? Josslyn said she followed you out the back into the alley. And when she got out there, you weren’t there. That’s because I wasn’t there! Dex, you’ve been on the scene of all three attacks. That is a pattern. No. You know what else is a pattern? The fact that I gave first aid to ava and diane and hopefully to help save both their lives. Yeah. You know, I just don’t know if that’s enough for me. Time stamps?

[ Clears throat ] Am I arrested? Or do I need to make a call? I think you should call your lawyer, dex.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ] I’m in trouble. I need your help. Where are you? Pcpd. I’m on my way.


[ Gasps ]

[ Chuckles ] Chest bump. Boom! Trina: Whoo! Aah. Sorry. It’s all — I don’t even want to talk to you. You’re joking. That’s my girl. Josslyn: I told you. You told me, right? Hey. What are you doing here? Dex, uh, said he was in some kind of trouble. You know anything about that? Yeah, he’s being questioned. I thought he was calling a lawyer. Does he need one? He was on the scene of diane’s attack. Yeah, I-I-I asked him to lock up. Did you ask him to stand over her body with blood on his hands? Jordan: I’m gonna arrange for someone to stand guard over diane miller in the time being. It’s a good idea.

[ Ringing ] Officer cabrera, I’m sorry to bother you on your night off, but I was hoping for a favor. Of course. What do you need?

There’s been

another stabbing. The victim’s diane miller. Dex heller was at the scene, and he’s been brought in for questioning. Wow. Okay. I’d like you to come to the hospital and stand guard over diane. Absolutely. You can count on me. I know that you don’t have the best memories of jacksonville, so I figured there must be something big going on in order to get you to stay here. And I know that you can take care of yourself. I just want to make sure you’re okay. And I wanted to offer my support if you need it. That support of yours… completely unnecessary? Completely appreciated. The fact that you flew down here… I can’t tell you how much that means to me. I think you just did.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Excuse me.

[ Sighs ] Oh, no. Come on. More bad news?

[ Scoffs ] That “something big” that you were referring to? You were spot-on. What’s going on? They’re clearing out the cemetery where virginia is buried to put in a parkway to the beach. By clearing out, are you talking about moving the bodies? Yes. For beach access? That’s unbelievable. It is. And [Scoffs] That plot was perfect for her. And it was so important to me that she’d be buried there for many reasons. Yeah, I —

[ Sighs ] I remember. Oh, right. So anyway, I-I decided to fight it, you know? Of course you did. Yeah. I hired a lawyer, and I filed an injunction. And? And apparently, I have no legal standing because I’m not a resident. Ugh. So, now what? I don’t know. I don’t know what else to do. Well, you got to keep fighting. Keep fighting? That injunction was my plan a, b and C. W– I’m just saying that there’s other options. Okay, like what? Do you trust me?


You may not have legal standing, but there are other ways to enact change. Okay, I’m listening. Hi. I’m drew cain. Nice to meet you. And you are? My name is carly. Carly. That’s such a beautiful name. Thank you.

[ Whispers ] Ask me what I do for a living. So, drew, what do you do for a living? I own a media company. A media company we could use to raise some hell. Exactly.

[ Laughs ] I stay one or two days. I help you make some noise. The guild, the developers — we lay into them. I can’t ask you to do that. Well, you didn’t ask me. You have a family back home who need you. I’m talking about a couple of days. They’re not even gonna miss me. Carly, you know that I would never offer this if it’s not something that I wanted to do. Are you sure? I’m like 100% positive. Okay! [ Laughs ] All right, let’s make this town sorry they ever crossed you. Oh, jacksonville, you have no idea what’s coming. Bit by bit. It will get easier. It will. Every week that passes, the pain will lift a little more. Do I even want that? Then it will be like brando truly is gone. No, no. Brando will never be gone. I feel the people that I’ve lost every single day. J, my daughter. You feel liam, don’t you? I do. Brando’s no different. There’s a — a step we can take if you’re ready.

[ Breathes deeply ] We can make arrangements for the funeral… and put our boy to rest. So, how did it go with jordan? Fine, fine. It was tense, but it was fine. Yeah. I, um… I experienced a little tension with her, as well. Yeah. Yeah. No, I saw that.

[ Sighs ] I just wonder if it’ll always be this way, even if we get our divorce issues dealt with. You were gonna tell me about your talk. Jordan swears that she did not deliberately sit on those divorce papers. Okay. But what else? Well, she also started saying some very strange things. Strange? Strange how? She asked if you and i were on solid ground, and then she fed me a line about how you can never really know someone, even if you’re married to them. It just felt off, you know? Like — like she thought we were keeping secrets from each other. I’m sure she was just projecting, though, right? Mm-hmm. Right. Because you and I… we’re about as solid as it gets, right?

[ Giggles ] You sure? Alexis and gregory chase found dex in the garage. Mm-hmm. He says he was helping diane. That he didn’t see anyone or know what happened. You don’t believe him? He’s been at the scene of all three attacks and hasn’t seen or heard anything. What are you implying? I have those forensic reports you wanted. Great. Thank you. One second. Look, I know you like this kid. Hm. But you gotta ask yourself. How well do you know dex heller? Rory: Sorry about the forfeit. Hey, a win is a win. We get it. You have to work. There was another attack. Diane miller was the victim.

[ Gasps ] Oh, my god. Is she okay? All I know is that she’s in surgery. I’m supposed to go to G.H. And stand guard, make sure no one gets in to see her who shouldn’T. Gosh, this is so awful. Well, there is some good news. A suspect was brought in. Who is it? It still doesn’t mean things are safe. Well, we got hatchets. This is the safest place in port charles. Promise you’ll all go home together. Promise. Excuse me. Yeah. Hey, rory. Listen, I know that there’s certain things that you can’t tell me, but this feels really personal. I’ve been at two of the crime scenes, and diane’s a close family friend. Who’s the suspect? All I can tell you is it’s someone who’s been questioned before and has been spotted at all three crime scenes. Josslyn: Well,

I wanted to let you know

that the police are looking

for you, you know,

to find out

if you saw anything. Uh, thanks for the heads up. Dante already questioned me. Dex: Thanks for coming. How are they treating you in here? So far, no arrest, but I know they think I did it. What happened? W-why did they bring you in? They think I’m behind the stabbings because I’ve happened to be in the vicinity for all the attacks. But I’m innocent. You believe me, right, boss?


Gladys, I don’t think we necessarily have to do this right now. No, gladys is right. How long can we wait? Brando deserve a proper goodbye. Now he’s just sitting in the morgue. Oh, I can’t even think about it. Hi. Yes, I-I have the card right here. We can’t leave him there. And this will be good for us, too. We’ll have somewhere to — to go and visit and talk to him, right? You do that with your brother. And nelle. Oh, sorry. I — are you sure? I — okay, I understand. I’ll be in touch. Gladys, what’s wrong? Oh, nothing that can’t be fixed, I’m sure. What is it?

[ Sighs ] The funeral home won’t take your card because there’s a hold on it with the bank. What?! No, I have more than enough to — brando was my guardian. I need him to sign off on purchases. There’s no problem. Why don’t you just call the funeral home back, and we’ll just use my card? It’s right here. No. Uh, sasha. I want to. No, no. He is my husband. I — he was my husband. I-I’m the one who sh–

[ Sobs ] Oh, come here. Oh, my god. What do I do? What do I do now? You know, when I was with jordan, I could just feel it. Ther e was a part of her thatshe was holding back from me. And I don’t feel that from you. I’m glad. Poor thing must think because she’s keeping secrets everyone does. I’m glad to hear we’re both on the side of truth. Portia: And I need to tell trina

how much I love her.

And I need to tell trina

the truth.

The truth about her father. Babe? What is it? I am, uh — I’m so sorry. I-I just remembered that there’s something that I needed to take care of. It’s very important. Do you mind if I just — no. No, of course not. I love you. I love you, too. I can’t believe this about diana. Are you okay? This is all just hitting way too close to home. Should we just get out of here? I-I’m gonna go check on diana so I can report back to my family. Okay, well, we’ll go with you. Yeah. No. Joss. Listen, it’s fine, okay? I will not have you go out alone.

[ Scoffs ] Well, thanks to sonny, I won’t be, okay? I’m guarded 24 hours. I’ll have reid take me. Just please get home safe, okay? Fine.

[ Exhales deeply ] So, should we get out of here, too? I mean, there’s no point hanging around here. Or we can talk about what’s going on between us. I don’t know what you mean. Trina, you have been avoiding me ever since you found out I was covering for spencer. I get it. You have every right to be mad. Good. Because I am. Oh, I forgot. I’ve got something that I want to send you. Do you have your tablet here? Uh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. What is it? Well, I, um… I stopped on the way to the airport to, uh, put together a little message for you.

[ Tablet chimes ] Oh, well, here it is. All right, here we go. Okay, say “hi, mommy.”

Hi, mommy.

Hi, momma carly.

Good luck. We miss you.

That’s so great,

you guys.

Okay, what else?

I love you, mommy.

I love you. Can’t wait

to see you when you get home. Let’s blow her a kiss,

okay?

On three.

One, two, three. Drew. I was hoping you’d like that. I loved it. Well, it’s getting a little bit late. Wait, where are you going? Well, uh, I mean, apparently there’s some conventions in town. A lot of the hotels are booked. So I’ll probably have to get a hotel out of town. But I’ll be back here in the morning to meet you. What are you talking about? That’s crazy. It’s no big deal. Yeah, but I’m sure this couch pulls out. You can stay here. With you? Yeah. I’m gonna be here, too. W– wha– I mean, I don’t know. I’m not sure that’s the best idea, you know? Considering… it’s fine. We’re adults. We can, you know, have an adult-friendly sleepover and… it’s the least I can do. Please? Stay. Okay. Aren’t you gonna say something? Jordan: Sonny. I didn’t know you were a lawyer now. Oh, no. Far from it. Um, I came to check on dex, and I found that he has no lawyer present. What’s that about? And that’s on dex. He chose not to call one. Is — is he arrested? That’s a no. Let’s go. Don’t leave town. Got it.

[ Sighs ] Did dex give you anything? No. And he swears he didn’t see or hear anything. How is that possible? I don’t know. But we got nothing to hold him on. We — all the evidence we have is circumstantial. Am I wrong? But there’s something about him. Something off. Yeah. You’re not wrong. Keep digging. Will do. Thanks for that back there. I’ll give you a ride. No, you don’t have to do that. Let’s go.


[ Grunts lightly ] I’m really sorry about the couch. No worries. I-I thought it pulled out. I really did. Carly it’s, uh — it’s fine. You know what? I can call downstairs and I can see if they’ll bring you up a cot. That would be better. I think you’re forgetting that I spent two years in a cell. So, um, this is like heaven compared to cinder block. Noted. Okay. Okay, um, good night. Good night.

[ Exhales deeply ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Exhales sharply ] Drew. Yeah? I know I said this before. Thanks for coming. It really means everything. You’re welcome. We’re gonna fix this situation with your mother. You know that, right? I do now. Thank you for being here. I… haven’t always been the kindest or most welcoming to you. For legitimate reasons. But what you’ve done for us… hits — hits me right here. Well, get used to it ’cause I’m not going anywhere. Portia, what are you doing? Curtis told me about your little divorce papers chat. Jordan, how dare you? Trina, I-I hated every single second that I had to lie to you. It’s just, spencer and I, we have this history. And — but so do we. It may not be as long, but it’s — it’s pretty important. So important. And if this messes that up at all — okay. Okay. It won’T. I’m not planning on holding a grudge. It just might take me a minute to get past it. That’s — that’s totally fair. And I-I don’t want to give an excuse. I just want to explain myself. I was torn between two people that I care so much about. And that’S… hard. Extremely. I mean, have you ever experienced something like that? Trina: Cam made it seem like you were alone in that dumpster. Cam assumed, and I didn’t correct him. Because you were with dex. Yeah. I guess I have. Hey. Josslyn, hey, what’s going on? Is dex here? Why are you asking about dex? I heard he’s a suspect in all the attacks. I-I can’t comment. But w-where did you hear that? I-it doesn’t matter. You really can’t tell me anything? At all? Dex was brought in. He left for sonny a little while ago. Thanks for the ride home. We’re gonna make a stop first.

Interview with the cast of “La Brea” on NBC

TV Interview!

Actors from "La Brea" on NBC; photos from NBC

Interview with actors Natalie Zea, Eoin Macken, Nicholas Gonzalez, Veronica St. Clair, Jack Martin and Zyra Gorecki; and executive producer David Appelbaum of “La Brea” on NBC by Suzanne 9/15/22

This was for a TV Critics Assocation panel. They have them twice a year, and they’re a lot of fun. We’re not allowed to use photos, videos or transcripts from them, though, so I’m having to quote and paraphrase what was said here. I hope you enjoy it! I love this show. It’s even more exciting this season.

Virtual via Zoom September 15, 2022

Those of us in the press saw the first episode of the show ahead of time. A lot happens in that first episode, and (MINOR SPOILER) Izzy’s artificial leg is damaged. I tried to ask Zyra Gorecki about that, without giving away too much. She admitted that, “both physically and emotionally, she’s having a very difficult time. So the goal is, obviously, they land in Seattle, they’re trying to make it back to L.A., right? That’s a very long walk. That’s a very long walk with two completely there legs, let alone, you know, one leg and a dad that’s got a lot of issues, you know?” I think she put it very well and without giving spoilers. Just know that all is not what it seems when the show starts! There are many surprises in the first episode, so you don’t want to miss it.

Another member of the press asked whether that idea about her leg was from the writers’ or from Gorecki herself. Showrunner David Appelbaum answered that the writers came up with the idea but consulted Gorecki. Gorecki said that it was “very weird” to imagine herself in 10,000 BC and having that happen.

Many journalists were at the panel and asked their questions. Appelbaum was asked whether this season has the same amount of both CGI and non-CGI special effects as last season. He confirmed that there were many special effects this season because the audience expects that, given the setting. He thinks the audience will enjoy it this season even more. He was also asked about physical things the cast interacts with when there is the CGI effect, such as a mastodon. Applebaum explained that sometimes they just use their imagination, while other times they have a proxy that they use. He praised the cast for their imagination and creativity.

Macken joked that their director, Adam Davidson, waves his hands and runs around, which works for him. Everyone laughed. Gonzalez agreed, saying that it can be hard to keep a straight face when Davidson is dressed up in a blue leotard and doing animal impressions. He and Macken joked a bit more about that.

The actors were then asked whether they had “unique acting challenges” this season. Martin spoke vaguely about some problems involved with being in a different time period and having to imagine his own family at that age. Macken added that he felt the scripts were very exciting. He praised Applebaum for giving the actors details about what’s going on in the story and with their characters, so that they can share in the journey and the action.

Gorecki was also asked about a scene where she pet a particular prehistoric baby animal. She replied that it was a foam head of a baby rhino, which Davidson held and wiggled at her.  She laughed that it was “super entertaining.” She was also asked about how different it is this season, now that she’s working more with CGI and doing more action. She related that it was very different and had to act like this fake animal was trying to hurt her. She told us that “being afraid of something that isn’t there is wild,” and then she laughed.

Next, Martin was asked about having to learn about a new time period in which his character, Josh, lands. He revealed that he was already obsessed with that decade, especially the music and movies that he loves. He consulted with his relatives and looked at old photos to get an idea about the costumes. He can’t wait for us to see it. Applebaum added that Riley is also a huge part of that story with Josh. St. Clair spoke about how great this new storyline is. She praised their new time period, especially the hair, the costumes and the music. She also loved that it was very different from last season when they had to work in the mud, rain and Australian winter. Zea, whose character stays in 10,000 BC, made a joke about how she shouldn’t rub it in, and everyone laughed.

Eve and Levi
LA BREA — “The Next Day” Episode 201 — Pictured: (l-r) Natalie Zea as Eve Harris, Nicholas Gonzalez as Levi Delgado — (Photo by: Sarah Enticknap/NBC)

Gonzalez was asked how his character has evolved since last season. He spoke about how his character is principled and upstanding, yet he had an affair with Eve. Things are different this season because he has to keep everyone safe but is faced with this woman that he loves. He shares that there will be a big test to find out whether friendship or love will win out.

He was also asked whether he still runs because (according to Wikipedia), “he was an accomplished cross-country and track runner, winning the Texas State Championship in the mile and two-mile.” The reporter saw him run when he was in college. Gonzalez answered that he just started running again, so he found it interesting that he was asked this now.

The actors were all asked what they liked most about their characters. Zea told us that she likes that Eve felt like she was just a regular person, but now that she’s faced with this “extraordinary situation,” she is struggling both externally and internally about herself. She also likes that she’s flawed.

Macken shared that he likes how his character is involved with his children and not just his ex-wife. He enjoyed this season’s father-daughter journey, and how Izzy can understand her father more. Gorecki agreed that it’s fun to see how different Izzy and Gavin interact this season, and how she takes more control and grows more.

Martin answered that he thinks his story “is about agency and self actualization.” He likes how Josh is forced to grow up and take on more responsibility than most 17-year-olds and to be heroic, even though “he’s definitely still a kid.”

Gonzalez likes how Levi has to navigate his relationships with Eve and her family, as well as the rest of the characters.

Sinclair likes how Riley is “resilient,” especially when dealing with her father and the other “temperamental men,” even though (as she noted), she’s usually wearing a skirt.

Another question was about what will happen when everyone gets back together – especially with the love triangle, and now that Eve knows that Gavin wasn’t crazy, like she thought.

Zea answered that there will be “Fireworks, baby,” which Applebaum agreed with. She went on to say that she believes they cooperate very well together because of the life or death circumstances. Macken agreed that they had to put their survival ahead of their “emotional complexities.” Gonzalez and Macken joked around a bit about it until Zea said, “All right, boys. You’re both pretty,” which made everyone laugh.

Appelbaum was asked about expanding the original world, which was set in 10,000 BC. He thinks the show has a lot of potential for more growth. He praised NBC, Universal, and all the people that he’s worked with, who have been so supportive, and the writers. He loves how they keep finding “these different layers and elements of what this world is and what the characters are and where the show can go.” He thinks it’s exciting to peel back all the layers. Gonzalez added that as actors, it’s fun to jump into the different time periods and how unpredictable the story is. Martin also chimed in to say how much he likes it when the characters go to different times and places where they’re forced to change.

Gorecki was asked about which city in Michigan she’s from, but she said that it’s a very small town, so she won’t say where because of stalkers. She was also asked how the story about her being an amputee came about. She passed the question to Appelbaum, who said that it was always part of this story, even before they found Gorecki. They did an exhaustive search to find the right actor, he said, and they were very lucky to find Gorecki because “she has this great charisma and this natural talent and just immediately inhabited the role.” He praised her growth in season two.

Appelbaum was asked where he was when he learned that they were being renewed for season two. He laughed and said that they just had a baby, so he was feeding the baby with a bottle when he heard. This was a very sweet way to end our panel!

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Jennifer stands at home, looking at a photo of Abigail, as she takes more painkillers. Jack comes home, so she hides the pills in her pocket. Jennifer greets Jack and says she didn’t expect him back so soon. Jack informs her that he decided to go to the police station instead of the Spectator office because he had to see Leo Stark to hear his denial in person. Jack knows how much they wanted it to be Leo, so this nightmare would be over, but he thinks Gwen is right as he doesn’t think Leo did it.

Leo remains in his holding cell until Gwen comes to visit. Leo complains that she said she was going to help him. Gwen informs Leo that he was wrong about Craig setting him up as she reveals it was Clyde Weston.

Nancy returns to the Kiriakis Mansion and sits with Bonnie. Bonnie apologizes as she knows what Justin said upset her. Nancy responds that it’s ok because Justin was right as Clyde never showed up for the wedding, but the police did with a warrant for his arrest. Nancy cries that Clyde stabbed Sonny, and even worse, they said he killed Abigail. Bonnie tells her she’s so sorry. Nancy doesn’t want to believe it and kept arguing that the Clyde she knows would never do such horrible things but she couldn’t change their minds. Nancy breaks down crying as Bonnie hugs her.

Chad screams at Clyde to tell him what he did to Abigail or else he has two seconds to live. Clyde continues that he went there looking for Belle to send a message to EJ and admits he was going to fix it where EJ would find Belle strangled to death, but he couldn’t find her anywhere and it seemed like he broke in for nothing, but then he ran in to Abigail, who questioned what the hell he was doing there.

Leo questions Clyde being the one who framed him. Gwen confirms that’s what the cops are saying. Leo says it makes sense since he did get Leo in trouble for sticking him with the jewelry that he stole from Abigail’s room. Leo brings up Clyde having an alibi and wonders if he’s doing this for Nancy. Leo explains that he stole Nancy’s husband, so Clyde framed him for stabbing Sonny when it’s because of him that Nancy was back on the market. Gwen then reveals that Clyde didn’t just stab Sonny but he also killed Abigail. Leo realizes Clyde is a monster and questions it being Clyde from the beginning. Gwen tells him that the police finally found the right man.

Jennifer complains about how many times they’ve been told that the police have someone only for it to turn out to be the wrong person. Jack says he just had a gut feeling about Leo and explains that Leo told him things that he didn’t tell the police like how he used a steak knife to open Abigail’s jewelry box and then left it behind which is where the killer must have found it. Jennifer questions why Leo would hold that back from the police. Jack says it would’ve put Leo in Abigail’s bedroom with the knife. Jennifer calls it too much. Jack then gets a call from Shawn at the police station. Jack says he just came from seeing Leo Stark and he doesn’t it’s him. Shawn reveals that they are way ahead of him and just put an APB out on Clyde Weston. Jack questions it not being Craig Wesley. Shawn informs Jack that Clyde’s alibi fell apart as the footage was faked. Shawn just wanted Jack and Jennifer to be the first to know that it’s Clyde, so now they just have to find him.

Chad questions what Clyde did after running in to Abigail. Clyde admits that he lied and claimed that he was there to discuss a business proposal with Chad after EJ turned him down but Abigail pointed out Clyde wearing gloves in the middle of June. Clyde complains that if only Abigail hadn’t started asking questions.

Jack informs Jennifer that Shawn said they are completely certain that it’s Clyde Weston. Jennifer argues that Clyde was cleared months ago. Jennifer cries that nobody is safe as long as Abigail’s killer is out there. Jack suggests they go to the police station together to make them tell them everything they can instead of waiting for the phone ring. Jennifer decides it’s okay and tells Jack to go ahead, claiming she’s not feeling well. Jack decides he’s not going anywhere then. Jennifer urges him to go ahead and do what he thinks is right. Jack refuses to go anywhere if she’s not feeling well. Jennifer points out that she won’t be alone since Doug and Julie are upstairs. Jennifer says she doesn’t exactly feel sick but this is just a lot to take in and she thinks it would make things worse to sit around the police station.

Leo goes over how Clyde must have showed up after he took the jewelry and then took off. Leo questions why and what Clyde had against Abigail anyway. Gwen asks why he cares when he’s going to be let out in a few hours. Leo questions why Gwen made a special trip to tell him all this information when he wouldn’t be in here if it wasn’t for her. Gwen responds that they are now even because not too long ago, she was behind the bars because he couldn’t shut his mouth. Leo questions if she’s still playing him and why he’s still in the cell if they are so sure it’s Clyde. Leo then imagines Clyde being on the run with Nancy.

Nancy tells Bonnie that Clyde didn’t even show up at City Hall. Bonnie guesses he knew the cops were after him. Nancy gets a call from Chloe but says she can’t answer right now so Bonnie answers. Bonnie assures Chloe that Nancy is with her and she will stay with her awhile, then Nancy will call when she’s feeling better. Chloe thanks her as Bonnie assures that Nancy is her friend and hangs up. Bonnie tells Nancy that Chloe is worried about her. Nancy complains that she’s a combination of desperate and stupid when all she wanted was someone to love her while all Clyde wanted was a warm bed and someone to vouch for him after being in prison.

Chad questions Clyde not wanting to be questioned after breaking in to a woman’s house. Chad complains that Clyde just didn’t like that Abigail was on to him. Clyde asks if he’s sure he wants to hear this. Chad asks if he wants to keep living and demands that he talk. Clyde continues his story and notes that Abigail went to call the police when he saw the knife on the table. Clyde says they could just stop here since the rest will be hard on Chad. Chad screams at him not to move and repeats that he wants to hear it all, so he screams for Clyde to talk.

EJ, Belle, and Shawn go to City Hall but find it empty. EJ wonders if the wedding was called off or even there. Belle sees the flowers and says Nancy was. Shawn states that Clyde was a no show. EJ guesses he must have figured the police were after him. Shawn suggests he could’ve dumped Nancy at the altar. Belle recalls Clyde being all dressed up like nothing was wrong. EJ asks if he’s been in touch with Ben. Shawn says he couldn’t reach him. Shawn says there’s no way Clyde could have seen this coming and it doesn’t make any sense. Belle tells EJ that they have to tell Shawn everything, the whole story. EJ claims not to know what she means but Shawn questions what whole story.

Leo tells Gwen that even if Clyde is on the run, the police should have caught him by now. Gwen points out that even Leo was able to evade the police until now. Gwen says she just came to tell him what she knows and now she’ll go worry about other things. Leo stops her and says he does believe her. Leo apologizes for telling the police that she did it. Gwen apologizes for telling them where to find him. Leo admits that he deserved it and asks if there’s anything he can do to make it up to her. Gwen suggest Leo can help her figure out what to do about her pill popping stepmother.

Jennifer talks to her picture of Abigail and cries about not having anyone to talk to now about how much she misses her. Jennifer then imagines Abigail appearing before her.

Clyde feels he’s just adding to Chad’s problems but says he’s the boss, so he continues telling his story. Clyde recalls seeing the knife on the table as a way out of the mess he was in. Clyde threatened Abigail that he wouldn’t let her ruin his life and argued with her about her past relationship with Ben. Clyde complained about EJ telling Belle that he had him shot, so he came to shut her up for good. Clyde brought up that he warned EJ that if he talked, he would come after his family.

Shawn questions Belle and EJ not telling him on the phone that Chad has a gun and went after Clyde. EJ argues that they don’t know for sure but Belle says that’s not what he said before. EJ claims he was mistaken. Shawn complains that he’s wasting his time. Belle knows EJ thinks he’s protecting Chad. Shawn decides he’s going to make a call and put an APB out on Chad. Shawn orders Belle to keep EJ there and out of his way as he exits the room. Belle apologizes to EJ but says Shawn needed to know.

Chad tells Clyde to tell him what he did to Abigail and after that, he’s done with him.

Jennifer asks if her vision of Abigail is an angel from Heaven or a ghost. Jennifer calls her the answer to her prayers as she will listen and understand the Hell she’s been living in since losing her.

Gwen tells Leo about how Jennifer threatened to unleash on her if she told Jack about her painkillers and that she’d ruin what’s left of her relationship with Jack. Gwen feels she’s really progressed in her relationship with Jack, so she doesn’t want to ruin that but feels he deserves to know what Jennifer is doing to herself. Leo argues that Gwen has lost her edge and reminds her to always look out for herself. Leo says Gwen telling Jack won’t do anything for her. Leo adds that Jennifer’s problem might work out for her since Chad would need someone to lean on. Leo tells Gwen that Jennifer’s pill problem is not her problem and they can drink to that.

Bonnie advises Nancy not to blame herself for being conned by an expert, pointing out that he fooled the cops too. Bonnie talks about spending her life not thinking she deserved what she has now. Bonnie assures Nancy that it does get better. Bonnie acknowledges learning a hard lesson and encourages Nancy to now believe in herself and not let Clyde or Craig take that away from her when they’ve already taken so much. Bonnie hugs Nancy as she cries.

Jack goes to the police station and finds Gwen. Jack says he came for an update but everyone is out on the search. Gwen confirms that she already knows about Clyde and she came to tell Leo. Jack guesses it’s just a waiting game now. Jack decides he should get back to Jennifer. Gwen questions him leaving her home alone. Jack points out that Doug and Julie are there and asks why. Gwen claims she’s just a bit jumpy with Clyde on the loose. Jack says he’s gotten to know when she’s not telling him the whole truth. Gwen admits that she’s not and there’s something he needs to know about Jennifer.

Jennifer tells her vision of Abigail how much she misses her every day and questions how to find closure. Jennifer talks about how she started taking painkillers again just to get through the day even though she doesn’t want to and promised that she would never touch them again, but she doesn’t know how else to go on living without Abigail. Jennifer cries that she just needs to understand why and asks if that’s why Abigail is here. It looks like the Abigail vision is about to talk but then she sees the bloody wound on her stomach.

Clyde asks if Chad can’t guess what happened next and if he really wants him to spell it out for him. Chad responds that he wants Clyde to spend the last few minutes of his rotten life, telling him what he did to his wife. Clyde tells Chad that he asked for it. Clyde then continues his story of how he fought with Abigail and stabbed her.

Shawn returns to EJ and Belle with the security camera footage from the City Hall. Shawn finds the footage of Chad grabbing Clyde outside and taking off with him. Belle tries to ask EJ if he has any idea where Chad would have taken Clyde, but EJ had already taken off. Shawn tells Belle to stay there as he goes after EJ.

Clyde finishes telling Chad about stabbing Abigail. Chad cries that he took their kids to a movie while Clyde was doing that to Abigail. Chad screams at Clyde, asking if he enjoyed it.

Jack questions how Gwen knows that Jennifer is taking prescription drugs. Gwen explains that she went back to the house because she forgot her purse and Jennifer had the bottle. Gwen says when she saw the first three letters of the generic label, she knew instantly what they were. Jack questions if she’s sure of what she saw. Gwen reminds Jack that she was blackmailed in to delivering the same things last summer so she’s sure. Jack argues that Gwen can’t be right. Jack acknowledges that Jennifer had a problem before but she’s stronger now. Gwen asks if she’s strong enough to deal with the brutal murder of her own daughter. Jack repeats that Gwen can’t be right. Gwen reveals that she told Jennifer that she knew and then she threatened to turn Jack against her if she said anything. Gwen tells Jack that he has to help Jennifer. Jack then rushes out of the police station.

Jennifer tries to hug her vision of Abigail but she disappears. Jennifer cries for Abigail to come back.

Chad goes over that Clyde stabbed his wife, left her for dead, and sent a message to EJ. Chad then questions what Sonny ever did to him and why Clyde went after his best friend too. Clyde explains that it had nothing to do with Chad and he wasn’t planning on it, but he read in the paper that Leo said Gwen killed Abigail but he knew that wouldn’t hold up and somebody had to pay for the crime, so he figured who better than Leo. Clyde adds that Nancy told him about Leo’s hit list so he knew he just had to get a hold of that list. Clyde reveals he took it right out of Leo’s bag when he wasn’t looking and Abigail was on it, so he knew he just had to take out someone else on the list and it would look like Leo was taking them out one by one. Clyde points out that it couldn’t have been Chloe or Brady because of Nancy which left Chad and Sonny, so he guesses Chad lucked out. Clyde explains that he started to trail Leo, who led him right to Sonny’s office. Clyde says he used the same knife he used on Abigail and then all he had to do was set the scene. Clyde asks if that’s enough detail for Chad. Chad declares that he’ll be satisfied when Clyde is dead. Clyde notes that Chad keeps saying that, but he hasn’t pulled the trigger yet.

Nancy thanks Bonnie for trying to make her feel better, but she doesn’t know how she will ever come back from this 1-2 punch as she won’t be able to walk in a room without people pointing or whispering about her. Bonnie jokes that if she lived like that, she’d have to live where no one knows her name. Bonnie adds that she gets judged in this house but not by Justin which makes it all worth it. Bonnie encourages that Nancy will have that too. Bonnie asks Nancy to promise not to stop trying to be happy and believing in love.

Jack goes home looking for Jennifer but just finds the empty pill bottle on the living room floor.

Jennifer goes driving while crying. Jennifer imagines Abigail in the seat next to her and declares she’s going to make Clyde pay. Jennifer swears that anyone who ever hurt Abigail will pay as she promises her justice.

Gwen exits the police station and sees an oncoming car coming towards her.

Shawn returns to Belle and complains that there’s no sign of EJ as if he disappeared. Belle guesses EJ thinks he knows where Chad is. Shawn remarks that he’s got a murderer on the loose and two DiMera brothers with revenge on their brains.

Clyde laughs that Chad doesn’t have the guts. Chad yells at him to shut up. Clyde dares him to shoot an unarmed man in cold blood. Clyde then grabs Chad and they fight, losing the gun in the process. Clyde ends up pinning Chad down on the ground, saying he’ll be with Abigail now soon. Clyde chokes Chad until EJ arrives and shoots Clyde in the back.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey, I, I, I didn’t expect you back so soon.

I, uh, decided to go to the police station instead of the spectator office. Oh, why? I had to see Leah Stark. I had to, Here’s denial in person. And I know how much he wanted it to be him. I wanted it to be him too, just so that this nightmare would begin to be over. But I think Gwe is right. I don’t think he did it.

I’ve got the Salom prison blue

and it ain’t gold. Base for

good. God. Thought someone was torturing a cat. Rub salt in the open wound. Did you come here to gloat? Yes. After you said you were gonna help me, No, I’m here to tell you that you were wrong about Craig Wesley setting you up. You said you believed me. I did. It was Clyde Weston, right? It’s him. Matt Clyde Weston.

Nancy’s new boyfriend. It. Sit, sit, sit. Really want some tea? Have her a stick drink. Oh God. Nancy, I’m sorry. I know what Justin said upset you. It’s okay, buddy. Justin was right. What? What are you talking about? I never showed up for the wedding, but the police did. They had a warrant for his arrest. He’s the one that stabs son.

And what’s worse? So much worse. Oh, honey, go on. Go on honey. They said that. Take your time, buddy. They said that he killed Aga. Oh God. Oh my God. I suspected, but I didn’t wanna believe it. I’m so sorry. I’m trying so hard not to believe it now, but I kept saying it that God, that I know he would never do such horrible things, but nothing I said changed their mind.

Well, Nancy, they had to have proof. Yes, but I just kept right on arguing with him, and I just had this little voice inside of me saying to me, Are you arguing because you think you’re right. Or are you arguing because you’re terrified that you are wrong? Bonnie? Honey. Honey. Oh.

Cause I want you to tell me what you did to my Abby, or you have two seconds to live. One. Okay. Okay. Settle down like I said. I went over there looking for Be Brady. I was, um, wearing gloves because I was gonna send a message to EJ because EJ told her that you shot him. Yeah, yeah. I was gonna fix it. So he’d find her strangled to death, but, um, you know, I couldn’t find her anywhere.

It seemed like I had broken the house for none. Um,

but then I ran into your wife.

What the hell are you doing here?

Like sands through the hour glass, so are the days of lives.

So Clyde Weston is the one who framed me. That’s what the cops are saying. Well, it does make sense. I did get him in a little trouble sticking him with the jewelry I lifted from Abigail’s room, but he had an alibi. What’s the big deal? Unless he’s doing this for Nancy? Yeah. Okay. He totally lost me. Well, I stole his girlfriend’s husband, so he frames me for stabbing son.

I, He should be thanking me. It’s because of me that she was back on the market. Like could you just listen?

He didn’t just stab Sunny PDE also killed Abigail. Oh my God. He’s a monster. Yeah. Yeah, he is. So it’s been Clyde Weston from the beginning and he’s finally found the right man.

How many times have we been told that the police have the person who killed Abigail? And how many times has it turned out that they were wrong? I, I just had this gut feeling that it wasn’t Leo, why Leo told me things that he hadn’t told the police. Like what? Like he used a steak knife to open Abigail’s jewelry box and left it on her dresser.

That’s. The real killing was to found it. Yeah. Why would he hold back something like that from the police? He would’ve been a gift to the da. He would’ve put Leo and had gal’s bedroom with a knife. All that we had to do is say that Abigail walked in on Leo, interrupted a robbery. Leo panicked and killed her.

This is, this is just, This is just too much. I. It’s the police, Jack Devo. Hey, Jack and Sean. I’m glad you called him. Listen, I just came from seeing Leo Stark. I don’t think he did it. We’re way ahead of you. I’m calling to let you know that we put out an APB on Clyde Western, not Greg Wesley. I climb down on my, fell apart.

The, uh, the video footage that cleared him, it was faked. And I just wanted you and Jennifer to be the first to know it’s. And, uh, now we just gotta find him.

Okay, So you’re in the house and then you were in the Abby, and what did you do? But what do you think I did? I lied. I asked you a question. Will you Butler let me in. Oh, I’m sorry. I, I’m here to discuss a business opportunity with your husband at this hour. What do I just get off my day? You know what made this proposal to EJ first and he turned me down.

But I had a hunch, a smart fella like your husband would know a good deal when Selma. Hmm. Yeah. You know, uh, Chad a smart, but so am I. Did you think I would notice you wearing gloves in the middle of June

if she only had just not started in with all the damn questions?

Sean said they’re absolutely certain that client’s their man. Oh, they’re absolutely certain about someone they cleared months ago. Know I know what this whole investigation is doing to you. It’s doing the same thing. Me just keep telling yourself that people are safe, but they’re not safe. Nobody is safe.

Abigail’s killer is still out there waiting. I’ll tell you what, why, why don’t we, we’ll go to the police together and we’ll make them tell us everything they can. It’s got to be better than sitting around here waiting for the phone to ring. Oh, it’s, no, you, you go, I, I’m not feeling so well. Well then I’m not going anywhere.

Oh, no, no. If you do what you, you think’s right. You know, you, you go to the police station. I’m not leaving you alone if you feel sick. Well, I’m not gonna be alone. I mean, Doug and Julie are right upstairs and I I don’t feel sick. Exactly. It’s just. This is just a lot, you know, it’s a lot to take in and, and, and I, I think it would just make things worse sitting around the police station.

So I must have showed up after I grabbed the jewelry and then took off. Yeah, I guess. But why, What did he hear? Have against down the Gail? I, Why do you dare? You’re gonna be less out of here in a few hours.

Well, why you came me like that? I’m trying to figure out why you made a special trip to give me all this info. Wasn’t for you. I wouldn’t even be in here. So now, or even, Cause it wasn’t too long ago, I was on the other side of those bars because you couldn’t shut your big mouths. Are you still playing me?

I just told you who the murderer is. How, how? How is that playing? One I know you. And two, if they’re so short, Clyde, why am I in the cell? Instead of him? Maybe they can. He’s on their own with fancy, isn’t he? I could see it now. The two of them cutting a SWAT across the Midwest on a crime spree, like a new vo.

Bonnie and Clyde get it. Of course she’s gonna have to change her name. Clyde didn’t even show up at City Hall. Well, he probably knew the cops were after

it’s Chloe. I just can’t, No, let me, let me, It’s okay. Let me. Hey, honey. Uh, yeah, it’s Bonnie. Your mom is with me and she’s okay. She just, um, she really can’t come to the phone right now. No. She’s gonna stay with me a while and she’ll call you when he’s feeling better. Okay. Hi. You don’t have to thank me.

She’s my friend.

She’s worried about you and why wouldn’t she be ? I don’t know whether I’m desperate or just stupid. Maybe I’m a combination of both. Don’t, don’t. You dare do that. Money. All I wanted was someone to love me, and all Clyde wanted was a warm bed in somebody to vouch for him a needy bra who could make him legit after his time in prison.

Well, he sure found her.

You broke into a woman’s house and you didn’t want her asking you questions. You just didn’t like that she was onto you, did you? You stupid bastard. Are you sure you want to hear this? You wanna keep living talk,

hear the boss.

Yeah. I do feel a little silly wearing gloves, but what happened was I was taking a pot off the stove at the pub. It was so dang hot. It blistered my fingers just wearing the gloves. Keep the lotion off. Hm. Well, maybe you need more than lot. So why don’t you take the gloves off and let me look at your hands.

I don’t see any need to do that. That’s what I thought. Why is it that every crook I know decided to stop by tonight? What do you baling about? My sister’s supposed to be in prison. She breaks in for a chat. Now you so tell you what, why don’t you come up with a more believable story? I’m gonna go call the police.

You don’t get your hands off me,

Abby. You know, we can just stop right here. The rest is gonna be even harder on you. You probably don’t even want see me anymore. Go, go. I told you I wanted to hear it all and I.

Was the wedding cold off? Was it even here? Nancy was, Clyde was a no-show. He must have figured you were off after him. Now keep dumped Nancy at the altar. I mean, he is the type, No, when I saw him, he was all dressed up and acted like everything was fine. Have you been in Tuss with Ben? No, I haven’t been able to reach him.

There’s no way Clark could have seen this arrest coming. I just, It doesn’t make any sense. Ej, We have to tell him everything. The whole story. I don’t know what you mean the hell. You don’t what whole story.

Even iFLY is on the run. The police should have caught ’em by now. Even you have managed to evade them for quite a while. I don’t, I don’t think there’s ever been a crowd that you can blend. I’ll take that as a company. I don’t care if you believe me or not about Clyde. I’ve come here to tell you what I know, and now I’m gonna go worry about all the other things I need to worry about.

Don’t go Gwe, I’m sorry. I do believe you. And I’m sorry. I told the police you didn’t.

Sorry That I told them why to find. I deserved it. Anything I can do to make it up to you?

Maybe you could help me figure out what to do about my pill Popping stepmother,

do you remember when we were in Boston together at your grandma? And we talked and we talked and it helped both of us so much.

Who am I gonna talk to now about how much I miss you?

Oh, Abigail.

Well, it seems like I’m just adding to your problems here, but like I said, you’re the boss.

When I saw that knife on the table, I saw way out of the mess. I then,

why don’t you put that phone down before you regret it? Where did that come from? That’s the least. Your worries right now. You really think you’re gonna get away with threatening me? You know, everything has fallen into place for me right now and I swore I’d never go back to prison. So I’ll be Dan if I let you ruin my life like you ruin my sons.

Are you blaming me for Ben’s problems? When he was a kid, you used to beat him within an inch of his life, and him and me were working through that and he was doing just fine until he got tangled up with you. You were living with Ben and cheating on him with Rich Boy Amira, and you got yourself knocked up and tried to pass that baby off as his, I thought that I was telling the truth about the baby because you changed the paternity results.

All I know is my boy ended up in a psycho award and you ended up.

So does that really justify threatening me with a knife? Oh, it ain’t all about you, Missy. Your fancy bad singer brother-in-law suddenly remembered it was me. You got him shot. You did that. Dayja told him to keep his mouth shut. He goes and grabs it to that lady lawyer friend of his walking by. To teach him a lesson and shut her up for good.

Well, unfortunately for you, DJ and aren’t here. Yeah. Figured that out. But you knew him. I told DJ that if he did let his mouth, I was coming after his family and sisters mom. They’re. Right. Ain’t not right.

And now we get down to the real nitty gritty.

Chad’s got a gun and you didn’t tell me on the phone that he went looking for Clyde. We don’t know that for sure. Okay. What is a guy like Chad gonna do with a gun? All I told Bell was that the gun wasn’t in the safe. That doesn’t mean Chad has it. I don’t even know if the gun was in this safe. No, that’s not what you said before, ej.

I was mistaken. Now you’re just wasting my time. Listen, I know you think you’re protecting Chad. Now I’m gonna go check with building Security and see if they’ve seen Chad or Clyde, and then I’m gonna put an APB out on Chad. So you keep him here. You keep him outta my way,

I’m sorry, but he needs to know

now you tell me what you did to her and you make it fast. And after that, I’m done with you.

Is that what

you come from Heaven to let me know that you are right

or are you, are you a.

Are, are you here because I miss you so much.

Huh? I know what you are

you the answer to my prayers?

Like

you,

you know, I didn’t want the stand in judgment of Jennifer and not a good look for you. For the minute I said something to her, she said that if I told Jack, she would just unleash on me the saint did. Jennifer, you’re the highest a kite. Jennifer, are you sure? Yes, I’m sure. I’ve spent all those years with my mom.

She said if I even open my mouth to Jack, that she would she’d ruin what little relationship I have left with him. Hmm. Feeling stuck Are. God, I’ve really progressed in my relationship with Jack. I don’t wanna ruin that. And he really cares about Jennifer. He deserves to know what she’s doing to herself.

Maybe he can help her. This is why you and I have got to get back to being tighter than Channing Tatum’s. You my dear, have lost your edge. I have not. I have more edge now than before. What is the golden rule of Grif? Always look out for old number one. Telling daddy about his wife’s drug problem isn’t gonna get you squat.

In fact, it might get you less than squat. So we’re gonna take that off the table. Wow, this is brilliant advice. Okay, now I know you’ve got off to spend a little time with Cousin Mattie. You’ll be back to your selfish self in no time. You know, Jennifer, dipping into mother’s little helpers could actually work out for you.

Oh, can’t wait to hear where this goes next. Well, you wanna be closer to your dad, right? When Jen goes off the rails, he’s gonna need someone’s lean on. We know it isn’t gonna be happen. Ah, Matt, what? Bottom line. Jennifer’s pill habit is Jennifer’s problem, not yours. When I finally get out of here, you and I are gonna have a drink to that

here. Just don’t drink it too fast. All right. All right. Let’s put this down for a second. Actually, come here a little. Do not blame yourself because you got conned by an expert. First of all, honey, he fooled the cops too. What’s wrong with trusting? What’s wrong? With believing in love? We should all be as openhearted as you.

It’s so easy for you because you have Justin. Yes, and I thank my lucky stars every day for that. But that’s because for my entire life, I didn’t think I deserve what I have now. Oh, no. Yeah. No. I was as down on myself as you are now. But I am here to tell you it does get better. It does now. You learned a hard lesson.

You don’t let to guard down until you know everything there is to know about a med, right? Right. So now you need to believe in yourself, don’t you? Gar Clyde or Craig take that away from you? They have no, look at me. They have already taken away so much.

Thank you.

One. Jack, what are you doing here? Well, I came here looking for an update, but it looks like it already down on the search. You probably should know that about Clyde Western. Yeah, I already know. It’s actually why I’m here. I’ve just told Leo. Well, I guess it’s just a waiting game now. I should, I should probably be getting back to Jennifer.

You left her home alone. Well, no, I’m Doug and Julia there. Why? Sorry. I dunno. I’m just a bit junky. You know, all this western business, him being out on the. Gwen, I’ve gotten to know when you’re not telling me the whole truth,

you’re right, I’m not. There’s something that you need to know about Jennifer.

I miss you every second of every.

People keep talking to me about closure, but I feel like there’s this part of me that’s just been ripped off.

How do you close a wound like that?

I started, I started taking these again, just just to get to the. I, I, I really don’t want to, I just, I know, I know. I promise that I never would, again, I wouldn’t touch them, but

I, I just don’t know how else I can go on living without you.

It’s just, if I just understood why I need that. I just, I just need that so much. Is that why you’re here? Is that why you’re here to, to tell me the truth, because I need that so badly. I need that more than I need these. I need that more than I need anything.

Can’t you guess what happened next? You really warm spelled out for you. Yeah. What I want, it’s for you to use the last few minutes of your rotten life to tell me what you did to my. You asked for it. You so bitch. You’re not gonna get away with this.

Yeah, the output from security cameras is on here, so if Chad or Cly went through that foyer, this camera would’ve picked them up. Let’s see here. Camera one

doesn’t show which way they went when they. There’s gotta be a better angle from another camera. So you got, uh, camera one. Camera one’s got a perfect view of the outside door.

Do you have any idea where tab taken?

I took our kids to a movie. We were eating popcorn and laughing. While you were doing that to her,

did you enjoy it?

Dejo,

How do you know that Jennifers taking prescription drugs? Well, I went back into the house because I’d forgotten my purse, and she was holding the bottle in her hand and I could see from the first three letters on the generic label, I knew instantly what they were. Are you sure what you saw? I was blackmailed into delivering the same things with Dr.

Feel good last summer? Yes. Yes. I’m sure. No, no, no, no. You can be right. I mean, I mean, yes, she had a problem before, but she, she, she wouldn’t get back into that stuff again. She’s stronger now. Strong enough to deal with the brutal murder of her only daughter.

No, you can’t be right,

Jack. I. I told her that I knew and she threatened to turn you against me if I said anything. God, you.

When,

Oh my God.

Okay.

Okay.

So you stabbed my wife. You left it for dead. You sent your message to ej. What did Sonny ever do to you? Why would you go after my best friend too?

Had nothing to do with you. I wasn’t even planning on it. I read in the paper how Leo Stark was saying that when somebody confessed to kill an Abigail, I knew that wouldn’t own the, I mean if anyone knew she was innocent, it’s me and somebody had to pay for the craft. So to I figure who better than that little pansy Cause Nancy so much trouble as she told me.

He made a list of all the people he was gonna get even with. I knew all I had to do was get ahold of that list,

took her right out of his bag when Idiot wouldn’t looking sure enough Abigail’s name was there. So all I had to do was take out somebody else on that list and it would look like he was knocking ’em off on that one.

Could have been Chloe, you know, cuz of Nancy and um, Brady Black. Same thing, which left, um, you and son, but I guess you looked down. So I started trailing Leo. He led me in light to your Buddy’s office. All I had to do is wait, he’s back to me and. He used the same guy. I used with Abigail, and then all I had to do was set the scene.

Is that enough detail for you? I mean, I could probably describe the blood stains to the floor if you’d like me to. I’ll be satisfied when you’re dead. Yeah. You know, you keep saying that, but you haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

Thank you so much for trying to make me feel better, but I don’t know how I’m ever gonna come back from this one two punch. Honey, I’m not gonna be able to walk into a room without people pointing and whispering about me, honey, if I worried about stuff like that, I’d have to live in a desert of Mars.

Seriously, some place where nobody knows who I am and that ain’t happening. I judged in this household every day before breakfast. No, it’s true , but not by Justin kk. I live life the man I love. And that makes it worth, and you are gonna have that too. Did you have to? No. You have to promise me that you’re not gonna stop trying to be happy and don’t ever stop believing in love.

Jennifer, Jen, Jennifer, Honey, are.

Was Clyde. I swear I’m gonna make him paid. Anyone who ever hurt. Anyone who ever even thought about hurting you, I swear

they will be sorry they ever hurt.

Oh, there’s no sign of ej. It’s like he just disappeared in the thin air. Well, he probably thinks he knows where Chad is. Oh, great. So I got a murder on the loose and I got two Demira brothers with revenge on their brains. Beautiful.

You don’t have the guts. Do your big man. Show your mouth. Come on. Come on. Shoot in our man and cold blood.

Okay.

Yeah, he’ll be with Abigail soon. Now, Chad won’t take long now.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Dramatic music ]

Steffy: Brooke said what?

Taylor: That thomas is dangerous, and that he hasn’t changed one bit.

Steffy: Oh, my god. When will brooke let up?

Taylor: I don’t know. I don’t know. But these attacks on your brother’s character are just getting worse and worse.

Steffy: Who does she think she is? Like, calm down, woman. Oh, my gosh.

Steffy: Look, it’s fine. She can come after me all she wants, bring it on. But to come after my kids? It’s like she’s looking for things to pick apart.

Steffy: Brooke thrives on conflict, and she’s always had issues with thomas and me.

Taylor: It’s ridiculous that she’s claiming that thomas is a danger to his son.

Hope: What do you mean? I have seen thomas make strides in his relationship with douglas, so…

Brooke: He’s convinced everybody that he’s turned his life around. But the other side is still there. I know, I’ve seen it.

Hope: Okay, so then what exactly happened?

Brooke: Honey, I’m sorry. I know you don’t wanna believe the worst in thomas.

Hope: No, I don’T. But I also wanna know if my son is at risk. So, what are you saying? You said that you saw thomas with a knife around douglas?

Liam: Excuse me? What is this about thomas and a knife?

Thomas: Somebody is clearly overreacting.

Ridge: I told brooke there’s nothing to worry about.

Thomas: You know, I was, uh, I was cutting an apple with a knife, dad, like anyone would do.

Ridge: All right, she just felt that the blade was maybe too close to the kid.

Thomas: I’m not giving it to him, letting him throw against the wall or something.

Ridge: I know. I know all that. But you know brooke, and she doesn’t trust you yet.

Thomas: Clearly, if she’s thinking about calling child protective services on me.

Steffy: Tell me every word out of brooke’s mouth.

Taylor: Well, I can only go off of what thomas told me, and, oof.

Steffy: Why does she keep doing this to him? Thomas is proving himself every single day.

Taylor: She’s convinced that thomas is emotionally unstable, that douglas shouldn’t be with him.

Steffy: She needs to worry about her daughter. Hope’s unwillingness to compromise. They share custody.

Taylor: You’re right. You’re right, none of this is okay. She’s making thomas doubt himself, making him think he’s not capable of being a good father.

Steffy: Oh, my gosh.

Liam: Okay, so, thomas had a knife.

Brooke: Yes.

Liam: And, what?

Brooke: Well, it wasn’t just a butter knife from the kitchen. I mean, this was a good sized knife, and it was sharp, and he was using it to cut an apple.

Liam: Well, that’s not creepy.

Brooke: The thing is, he shouldn’t have been doing that right by douglas. Douglas was sitting right there.

Liam: So, douglas is just– is sitting there. And then thomas pulls out a knife and starts cut– like, what was going through his head at that moment?

Brooke: I don’t know. It’s not just the knife. I mean, I have doubts about just how healthy and well-adjusted thomas really is.

Thomas: You really think brooke would do that?

Ridge: I shouldn’t have mentioned anything to you.

Thomas: Report me for child endangerment?

Ridge: No, no one’s gonna report anybody. Because it’s not necessary. You are an amazing father to that little boy.

Thomas: Thanks, dad. I mean, it does mean a lot hearing you say that. I just– I just can’T. I just wish that brooke would stay out of our lives for good.

Thomas: Brooke really has no respect for me as a father.

Ridge: Yeah, I see it. And I’m sorry. You worked so hard to get here. So hard, and everyone can see it. Everyone but brooke.

[ Knocking on door ]

Charlie: Hey, boss. Uh, you were asking if– if brooke had left the building?

Ridge: Yeah.

Charlie: Well, she’s in the design office with– with hope and liam.

Ridge: Okay. Thank you, charlie.

Charlie: You bet. I’m here for you.

Ridge: Charlie.

Charlie: Yeah. Yeah?

Ridge: Would you mind getting the door, please.

Charlie: Oh, sure.

Ridge: That’s your head of security.

Thomas: Yeah. Um, I just hate that brooke is giving you all this grief.

Ridge: I just want some peace for my family.

Thomas: That… that’s honestly what would be best for douglas.

Ridge: I know.

Thomas: I don’t know. I just– I can’t stand the idea that anyone would think that my house isn’t safe for him. Like, look, I’m gonna go home. I’m gonna make sure that– that it’s the safest place that it possibly can be.

Ridge: Come here. I believe in you.

Thomas: That means more than you can know.

Ridge: You put your son first, that’s all you can do.

Thomas: I just, um… I don’t know why brooke has to always come in and start drama and make the whole situation just– blow it out of proportion. You know what? I don’t need to blow up on you at all. It’s just, uh– I’ll just put it behind me. You know, actually, you should probably start heading over to the house ’cause douglas is waiting for you. Spend time with his grandpa.

Ridge: I’ve been looking forward to that all day.

Thomas: And then you can see just how safe that house is for a little boy.

Ridge: I don’t have to go over there to see that. I see the smile on his face every day.

Thomas: Oh. I know he’s looking forward to hanging out with you. He always has a great time.

Ridge: You always have a great time.

Thomas: Hey, I’m going to stay here and finish up some work, and then I’ll head over and meet you there.

Ridge: Sounds good.

Thomas: Uh, dad? I just wanna say it means so much knowing that you believe in me. I mean, I wouldn’t be the man that I am without you.

Taylor: Thomas has completely changed himself for the better.

Steffy: We know that. Dad knows that. But, brooke? She keeps making a case out of every little detail. Thomas is holding a knife in front of his son? It’s not like he’s waving it around in front of his face.

Taylor: No, no. But brooke only sees her own made up version of thomas.

Steffy: Partly because it benefits her daughter. We all know that hope wants full control over douglas, and brooke is just stirring the pot.

Taylor: Thomas has worked so hard to redeem himself, to rebuild his life. And brooke refuses to give him credit.

Steffy: She doesn’t give thomas a fair chance.

Taylor: You know, it breaks my heart for thomas. And also for ridge.

Steffy: But what does that say about the woman he’s married to? The more brooke condemns thomas, the closer she gets to losing dad.

Brooke: You should’ve seen the way thomas was glaring at me while holding that knife.

Liam: So– okay, wait. So, just wait. So, at first, he’s just, like, totally dismissive of you when you ask him to put the knife away, and then he proceeds to, like, taunt you with it?

Brooke: Whatever his intentions were, it was very unsettling.

Hope: Well, I’m just relieved to hear that douglas wasn’t fully aware of it.

Liam: Yeah, that we know of.

Brooke: Okay, so the knife was very concerning, but what’s even more concerning is the fact that thomas is not bringing douglas home.

Hope: Okay, well, mom, douglas has asked to spend more time with his father, so…

Brooke: Honey, he’s a kid, and he’s at a very impressionable age. And of course, he wants to spend time with his father, but unfortunately, thomas is not a healthy father figure. I mean, think of all the horrible things that he’s done.

Liam: Kinda hard to forget.

Brooke: He’s been devious, unpredictable and he may have fooled some people, but not me. I’m gonna do everything I can to keep douglas safe. Okay everyone,

Steffy: Nothing could justify brooke bashing my brother.

Taylor: No, her perception of thomas is just a byproduct of her own warped sense of reality.

Steffy: She’s always like, “how can I twist this in a way that benefits me?”

Taylor: It’s so frustrating.

Steffy: Beyond. Brooke is way off base.

Taylor: You know, she will never love anything of mine.

Steffy: Except your husband.

Taylor: That’s a good point. You know, she has always resented both of you because you’re a part of me.

Steffy: Because we’re dad’s first family. His real family. We’re like a living, breathing connection of you two, and she can’t stand it.

Taylor: But brooke shouldn’t hold that against you.

Steffy: Well, she does.

Taylor: Yeah.

Steffy: Even if she doesn’t realize it. Thomas, he’s completely changed. He’s so devoted to his son.

Taylor: His whole world revolves around douglas.

Steffy: He’s not even dating anyone.

Taylor: No, he doesn’T. He– he works all day. And then he goes home to eric’s just to be with his son.

Steffy: And brooke finds fault in that. She’s digging her own grave.

Taylor: She is, but– but I don’t– I don’t know if ridge will ever see it like that.

Steffy: This time, it’s different. Mark my words. If brook continues to see thomas as some screwed up loser who doesn’t know how to parent his child, that’s gonna push dad away real quick.

Douglas: Checkmate.

Ridge: What?

Douglas: Yeah.

Ridge: Really?

Douglas: Did you see that?

[ Sighing ]

Ridge: How many is that?

Douglas: Today? Three times in a row. But the running tally is grandpa–

Ridge: The great one.

Douglas: Okay, the great one, five. Douglas–

Ridge: The apprentice.

Douglas: The apprentice. Come on. Douglas, 67.

Ridge: 67? Just remember who taught you.

Douglas: Come on, you don’t have to let me win.

Ridge: I’m not letting you win.

Douglas: “There’s an art to it.” That’s what you said when you were teaching me.

Ridge: I know, well you’re an artist. Not just at this, but– your drawings are amazing. Little picasso.

Douglas: Yeah. You know, dad’s been helping me lately.

Ridge: He’s a talented man.

Douglas: Yeah, runs in the family.

Ridge: Does now. How do you like living here? With your dad and my dad?

Douglas: Yeah, it’s awesome. You know, I’m having– having such a good time.

Ridge: We all love you very much. All right, set ’em up, come on. Not losing again.

Douglas: Okay.

Ridge: 67…

Hope: Well, thank you for coming with me to get coffee. Well, of course, far be it from me to keep you from your caffeine fix. Besides, my meeting got pushed back, so. You’re stuck with me a little while longer.

Hope: I guess I’ll have to deal.

Liam: I know.

Hope: Ugh, no…

Liam: What? Do I smell?

Hope: No! My mom forgot her purse, which means she will be back soon to retrieve it, I’m sure. Speaking of, um… so, what do you make of what she had to share?

Liam: She could’ve shared nothing at all, and my position would remain the same. I think it’s time for douglas to come home.

Hope: I miss him, too, liam.

Liam: Yeah, so does beth, and we keep trying to explain it to her, and I’m sure she’s super weirded out and confused by now.

Hope: No, I know. I know, but I don’t want to force douglas if he isn’t ready yet.

Liam: Listen, okay– let me agree with you about something. If I’m a little kid, being over at eric’s is probably awesome, right? All the nooks and crannies and places to explore, I’m sure he’s having a great time, but home is home, and home is with us.

Hope: I want nothing more than to be able to walk in that room and tuck my son into bed. But at the same time, I don’t wanna be the one that impedes on all this progress that he is making with his father. You know, and I’ve been over there and I’ve seen–

Liam: Yeah, well, don’t get me started on that. I know. Listen. Bottom line, bottom line, douglas can go over there literally any time he wants with the appropriate supervision. But even now that– thomas is carrying a knife around? Like, that does not sit well with me.

Hope: Me neither.

Liam: Okay, okay. So don’t let thomas intimidate you. You have to make it clear that douglas has to return to his normal waking life, which is home with us. Like, are we– are we still on the same page about that? And now please welcome ana montoya.

Taylor: You know, brooke feels like her marriage is under fire, like she’s not the one burning it to the ground. So, she’s attacking my children.

Steffy: Dad’s not gonna put up with that much longer.

Taylor: I don’t know, steffy, come on. How many times have we said that? I know that you want your father and me back together, and you want your family whole. I do, too. But, honey, it can’t just be because of brooke’s toxic drama. It has to be because your father really wants to be with us.

Steffy: I get that.

Taylor: Okay.

Steffy: But mom, you have to have faith. His whole demeanor changes when he’s with you, when he’s around the kids. I know you see that. And it seems like dad’s a little more present these days. It’s like he’s trying to make up for all that lost time. And it seems like he’s been more caring and thoughtful, especially over these last few months.

Taylor: That’s true. You know, your father is– is so proud of you and thomas. He really is, and… oh, he loves his grandchildren so much. He’d do anything for you.

Steffy: This whole knife overreaction… implying that thomas is a risk to douglas? Are you kidding me? That’s ridiculous. That’s a new low for brooke. I see dad’s eyes opening. He wants to hang around us more. He wants to be with you, mom.

Liam: I understand that you don’t want this to turn into a giant custody battle.

Hope: It’s the last thing that any of us needs right now.

Liam: Yes, I know. Granted, that would not be ideal. But, your mom still has a point. When it comes to somebody like thomas, we have to be extra vigilant, right? You don’t just– with somebody like that, you don’t just take their word for it that suddenly, they’re a happy, healthy, well-adjusted, psychologically normal, sensible person, right? I mean, the– the kind of– of issues, of deep-seated psychological issues that thomas had or still has. I mean, that, that– that stuff takes years– years in therapy to unravel, if it can be unravelled at all. For all we know, thomas is pulling one over on all of us.

Hope: Okay. The story with the knife is disconcerting, but you also can’t deny the fact that that thomas’s overall behavior has shown improvement.

Liam: You’ve said that before. And I don’t wanna do it all again. In any case, we can’t just ignore what your mom witnessed, right? Yeah, I know douglas is having fun over there, but enough is enough. He needs to be home. He needs to be sleeping in his own bed. He needs to be sitting at the dinner table with his sister. He needs to return to his routine. Children thrive on routine, all right? It’s not like he doesn’t get to see thomas anytime he wants. All we want is for him to come home.

Brooke: Liam is right, and the only way we can guarantee douglas’s safety, is if he’s in your care. So, I am going to do everything I possibly can to get douglas back to you, liam and beth. Where he belongs.

Douglas: Got your bishop.

Ridge: No. How did– no. How did that happen?

Douglas: Great-granddad taught you how to play?

Ridge: Yeah, he did. I blame him.

Douglas: Maybe we could do a tournament tonight. You know, you, me, great-granddad, dad and maybe even donna, if she wants to.

Ridge: Donna? Yeah, I’m not– I’m not sure that donna knows how to play chess. You– you like being here, don’t you? In this house? Everyone loves having you here, and they just wanna make sure this is the most loving home you could be in. You got two homes, really, right? You got hope’s as well.

Douglas: Yeah, I really like it here.

Ridge: Good.

Douglas: Okay.

[Knocking on door]

Ridge: All right, give me one second. Hey, do not move any– any of these pieces. I know where I am.

Douglas: I’m not gonna.

Ridge: All right. Hi, can I help you?

Woman: Thomas forrester?

Ridge: Uh, no, he’s– he’s not here. Who are you?

Man: We’re from cps, child protective services.

Ridge: What?

Woman: We’re here to investigate a case regarding douglas forrester.

Thomas: Hey, how are you? Hey, dad. What– what’s going on?

Ridge: They’re from child protective services.

Thomas: Child protection services?

Ridge: They’re here about douglas.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Justin joins Bonnie in the living room of the Kiriakis Mansion, where Bonnie informs him that she has the most wonderful news. Bonnie announces that Nancy and Clyde are getting married today. Bonnie adds that it’s all because of her, revealing to Justin that when Nancy’s marriage crashed and burned, she set her up on a dating app which is where she met Clyde. Bonnie says she’s so thrilled for Nancy since she was so crushed by Craig cheating on her with a man while now she has found someone to make her happy for the rest of her life.

Chloe begs Craig to talk Nancy out of this wedding. Craig argues that she won’t listen to him after he broke her heart. Chloe asks what he thinks is going to happen when Nancy becomes Mrs. Clyde Weston and calls it the biggest mistake of her life. Craig understands her concerns but says she can’t put him in the middle because it’s not his place to tell Nancy who she should or shouldn’t marry. Craig declares that he’s sorry but he just won’t do it.

Nancy and Clyde talk in the town square. Nancy informs him that Brady, Chloe, and Craig are going to meet them at City Hall. Clyde decides they are all set then. Nancy thought her life was over until Clyde came along and gave her hope. Nancy tells Clyde that she loves him and can’t wait to be his wife as they kiss.

Rafe can’t believe Clyde’s alibi was bogus. Jada confirms there’s no doubt that he doctored the footage. Rafe credits Jada as they would’ve never known without her. Jada thanks him but points out that Rafe is the one who told her to go over everything again. Rafe declares that it looks like Chad was right about Leo being framed for Abigail’s murder, he was just wrong about who was doing it. Rafe decides they need to issue an arrest warrant for Clyde fast but by the book. Rafe wants to assure Chad that his wife’s killer is not going to slip through their hands again. Rafe then makes a call.

Chad goes to the DiMera Mansion and removes a gun from the safe. Chad loads the gun and puts it in his pocket but EJ arrives and asks what he’s doing there.

Chloe pleads with Craig to go talk to Nancy and tell her she can’t go through with this wedding. Brady suggests Chloe take a minute but Chloe points out that they don’t have a minute as they are due at City Hal. Craig argues that Chloe isn’t hearing him while Chloe complains that Craig wasn’t hearing them when they warned him about Leo. Chloe asks what if they stopped trying and then Craig would be broke and married to Leo. Craig is grateful for them caring enough to tell him the truth even though he didn’t want to listen. Chloe says they did it because they love him and she knows he loves Nancy, so he needs to go talk sense in to her. Craig declares that Nancy has made her choice, adding that Clyde has paid his debt to society and is staying on that side of the law.

Justin tells Bonnie that this marriage is a bit sudden. Bonnie asks why wait when you find the one. Bonnie questions if he doesn’t agree. Justin responds that in this case, he definitely does not agree. Justin questions how Bonnie could be excited about Nancy marrying a criminal like Clyde Weston. Justin adds that he believes Clyde had Sonny stabbed several years ago as a way to send Victor a message during a business deal, but no one could ever prove Clyde was involved. Justin says he’s sorry to rain on Bonnie’s parade but declares that this wedding is nothing to celebrate.

Clyde tells Nancy that he can’t wait to be her husband. Clyde says he’s one lucky man to have her in his life and calls her his miracle. Clyde talks about not thinking he had a chance of meeting anyone on the dating app, but she took a chance on him and he’s forever grateful. Nancy is so glad she did because every day keeps getting better. Clyde calls this the best one yet. Nancy says she has to go make herself beautiful and she will see him soon. Nancy walks away. Clyde then turns around to see Belle in the town square.

Chad tells EJ that he just came to pick something up and now he has it, so he’s going. EJ stops him and asks if he’s alright. Chad tells EJ to get out of his way. EJ asks if there’s any news on Leo. Chad responds that Leo is innocent. EJ questions what he means. Chad then reveals that Leo wasn’t the one who killed his wife, it was Clyde Weston, and now he’s going to make damn sure he pays.

Clyde greets Belle and asks where she’s off to in such a hurry. Belle says it’s none of his business. Clyde asks her how EJ is doing. Belle responds that as far as she knows, he’s fine. Clyde sends his best and says he’s in a hurry himself as he’s going to the City Hall to get married. Clyde informs Belle that he and Nancy are getting married. Belle is surprised and questions it happening now. Clyde declares that his second chance comes tonight.

Chloe argues that Clyde is a career criminal and questions if he didn’t just get out of prison and pick up where he left off. Craig points out that Clyde is making an honest living at the Brady Pub. Chloe argues that he’s probably dealing drugs out of the Pub. Craig laughs that off, reminding her that Roman runs the place. Chloe questions why Craig is being so easy on Clyde. Chloe complains that Clyde is a psycho, who abused his own children and their mother. Chloe asks what if he does the same thing to Nancy. Chloe talks about Clyde beating Ben so badly that it turned him into a serial killer. Craig says that was a long time ago. Craig admits that he doesn’t think Clyde is good for Nancy, but Nancy has made her choice and Clyde has shown no sign of going back to the other side so they can’t judge and have to be fair. Chloe argues that Nancy barely knows Clyde and thinks it’s too soon for her to be marrying anyone. Craig points out that Nancy is very happy right now so he doesn’t want to deprive her by being negative. Craig declares that all they have to do is be positive and show her their support.

Justin calls Alex and promises to talk to Sonny and try to smooth things over. Bonnie asks what that was about. Justin informs her that Alex and Sonny got in a big fight over Titan, so now he has to go call Sonny. After Justin exits, Nancy rushes in to ask Bonnie for help getting ready for her wedding. Bonnie agrees to work her magic and transform her to the most beautiful bride.

Rafe calls Chad and leaves a message, giving him a heads up that Clyde Weston’s alibi for Abigail’s murder fell apart so they just got the arrest warrant and are going to pick him up. Rafe says he’ll be in touch and hangs up. Rafe tells Jada that now all they have to do is find Clyde as they hurry out of the station.

Chad reminds EJ that he should’ve told him that Clyde threatened their family. EJ responds that he’ll never stop being sorry for that. EJ asks about Clyde’s alibi. Chad says he doesn’t have time to answer his questions. EJ stops him and says he wants to help but Chad tells him to go to Hell and storms out.

Craig tells Chloe that if Nancy’s marriage falls apart, he will be there for her, but right now they owe her all the support and have to be positive. Chloe complains that she can’t do that while Nancy is marrying a thug. Chloe asks Brady to help her convince Craig that they have to get Nancy to reconsider. Brady apologizes but thinks Craig is right. Brady hears what Chloe is saying and wishes Nancy wasn’t marrying Clyde but it is her decision. Brady tells Chloe that unless she plans on no showing, they should get ready for a wedding.

Bonnie gets Nancy dressed and tells her that she’s never seen her look more beautiful. Bonnie gives Nancy a bouquet of flowers wrapped in blue while her outfit is new and borrowed from her while the jewelry is old, so she has all the bridal bases covered. Nancy thanks Bonnie and says their wedding is going to be very small with just family, but she would love it if Bonnie and Justin would come. Justin comes back in to the room with a serious look. Bonnie asks about the call with Sonny and if things between he and Alex are that bad. Justin responds that he doesn’t know how to say this, but Clyde was the one who stabbed Sonny. Bonnie questions why he would lay that old news on Nancy on her wedding day when that happened so long ago. Bonnie starts explaining but Justin cuts her off and reveals he’s talking about the stabbing that just happened that landed Sonny in the hospital. Nancy tries to argue it was Leo but Justin reveals that Sonny just told him that it was Clyde who attacked him.

EJ calls Chad, asking him to call him back because he really does want to help. Belle arrives and informs EJ that she just had a run in with Clyde and he asked about EJ in a way that was very unsettling. Belle adds that Clyde is marrying Nancy tonight. Belle calls that horrifying and says they can’t let Nancy marry a guy who put a hit on EJ and left him to die. EJ says that’s not all Clyde did and reveals that according to Chad, Clyde is also the one who murdered Abigail.

Clyde goes to City Hall and prepares to head inside when Chad grabs him from behind with his gun to his back.

Nancy questions what Justin is talking about, arguing that Clyde did not stab anyone. Bonnie points out that Sonny was stabbed behind and didn’t see who did it. Justin reveals that Sonny only identified the smell of vanilla. Nancy argues that doesn’t prove anything. Justin then adds that Sonny almost remembered seeing Clyde’s reflection in a picture frame. Nancy complains that Sonny is in the hospital being pumped full of drugs so they can’t trust anything he says and asks why Clyde would go after Sonny. Justin explains that Sonny is convinced that Clyde was trying to frame Leo. Nancy calls that even more ridiculous since Leo is out for revenge and has his hit list. Justin brings up Leo being cleared after Abigail’s murder, so Clyde had to find a way to implicate him again. Justin declares that Clyde did not just stab Sonny, he also murdered Abigail.

Belle thought Clyde had an alibi. EJ says he did too and asked Chad what had changed, but he just stormed off. EJ worries about Chad being in a bad way. Belle suggests they should call the police but EJ decides he’s going to handle Clyde himself.

Rafe and Jada search the Brady Pub but find out that Clyde is not there and that he’s getting married at City Hall, so they rush back out.

Clyde questions what Chad is doing. Chad warns him not to make a scene, pretend everything is normal, and come with him or he will kill him right here, right now.

Nancy insists to Justin that Clyde is innocent and has an alibi for the night that Abigail was killed as there is video of him fishing. Justin suggests Nancy speak to Sonny. Nancy argues that Sonny must be confused and she’s sorry for what he’s been through, but she has to get to her wedding. Nancy thanks Bonnie for everything. Justin advises Nancy to rethink her wedding but she refuses. Nancy yells at Justin to stop trying to ruin this for her. Nancy cries that Clyde is innocent and he loves her, so she is getting married today. Justin warns that this is a big step and asks her to talk to Sonny before she takes it. Nancy refuses to listen to anything else and declares that she’s getting married today, so nothing can stop her. Nancy thanks Bonnie again but decides it’s not a good idea for them to come to her wedding after all because of how Justin is acting. Nancy then exits the mansion. Bonnie says that Nancy must be right that Clyde wouldn’t stab anyone. Justin questions her believing that. Bonnie talks about believing in innocent until proven guilty while Justin sticks by what Sonny said. Bonnie believes Sonny could be mistaken. Justin doesn’t think so. Bonnie suggests Sonny could be thinking about his past stabbing. Justin talks about Clyde doing terrible things. Bonnie relates to being unfairly judged by your past, noting that she was a rotten person but she changed, so maybe Clyde has too. Justin hopes that she’s right for Nancy’s sake.

Brady, Chloe, and Craig arrive at City Hall and wonder where everyone is. Brady jokes that he thought they were running late. Chloe hopes it’s a good sign that maybe Nancy changed her mind and cancelled the wedding. Craig suggests she’s probably just taking extra time getting ready. Craig reminds Chloe to be supportive. Brady points out that Clyde isn’t even there, so he wonders what’s keeping him. Chloe feels it’s the perfect excuse to leave since they came but the bride and groom weren’t there. Craig says they can’t do that. Chloe points out that no one is there. Craig assures they are on their way. Chloe wants to wait two more minutes. Craig insists that they are not bailing on Nancy on her big day when she asked them to come. Craig tells her to think of how hurt Nancy would be. Rafe and Jada arrive. Craig gets upset, thinking that they tracked him there and repeats that he had nothing to do with Abigail or Sonny. Rafe responds that they know he didn’t stab anyone. Brady asks if they know who did. Rafe reveals they have reason to believe it was Clyde Weston. Chloe thought he had an alibi. Rafe and Jada explain that it fell apart as the footage was doctored. Chloe complains that she knew Clyde was a bad guy but questions if he’s that bad that he stabbed Sonny and killed Abigail. Rafe confirms it looks that way. Chloe worries about Nancy marrying him. Rafe says that’s why they are here, to get to Clyde before he walks down the aisle.

Chad brings Clyde to Abigail’s grave and orders him to look at her headstone. Chad wants to know why Clyde put her in the ground. Clyde claims he has the wrong guy and that he had nothing to do with it as he has an alibi. Chad screams that is the wrong answer as Rafe told him that the footage was tampered with. Chad warns that everyone knows he’s trying to cover his tracks and asks why he would do that if he wasn’t guilty. Chad wants to know why he slaughtered his wife. Chad screams at Clyde to start talking. Chad asks if Clyde did it to send a message to EJ. Clyde says it wasn’t like that at all. Chad asks for the truth. Clyde responds that Abigail wasn’t the one he meant to kill. Chad asks who was then and demands he start talking. Clyde then reveals that Belle was the one he was after.

Belle questions what EJ plans to do by handling Clyde. EJ says he should’ve put Clyde down the minute he remembered that Clyde had him shot. EJ complains that he lost everything because of him. EJ declares that this ends now. EJ goes to the safe. Belle worries that if EJ kills Clyde, he’ll lose everything again and will be behind bars for the rest of his life. EJ blames himself for Abigail’s death and says now he intends to make things right. EJ then opens the safe, only to find the gun is gone.

Justin loves that Bonnie has such a forgiving heart but not everyone is able to turn their life around like she did. Bonnie says she was able to because she had the love of a good man and now Clyde has the love of a good woman. Bonnie asks Justin to try to give Clyde the benefit of the doubt. Justin notes that Sonny was pretty sure about what happened but agrees to talk to him again. Bonnie worries about Nancy and asks how she can handle getting her heart broken all over again. Justin says she’ll just have to lean on her friends like her. Justin kisses Bonnie and then exits.

Chloe argues that they were supposed to be here by now and worries that Clyde found out the cops were after him and kidnapped Nancy. Nancy then arrives. Chloe asks if she’s okay. Nancy says she’s fine and asks what’s going on and where Clyde is. Rafe says they are actually trying to find him and questions if Nancy doesn’t know where he is. Nancy responds that she doesn’t, but she knows why they are hunting him down because of what Sonny said. Nancy says that Justin told her all about it. Rafe says they just need to find him. Nancy mocks this being about vanilla cologne and Clyde’s reflection. Nancy insists that Clyde didn’t stab Sonny. Rafe and Jada question what Sonny said. Nancy explains that Sonny said he saw Clyde’s reflection in a picture frame in his office but argues that he must have been hallucinating from the drugs they are giving him in the hospital. Craig tries to calm her down but Nancy shouts that she is getting married. Chloe brings up Abigail’s murder as well. Nancy brings up Clyde’s alibi but Chloe informs her that it’s fake and was altered. Nancy starts to cry. Jada confirms they have a warrant out for Clyde’s arrest.

Chad questions why Clyde would go after Belle. Clyde states that EJ blabbed to her after he told him to keep his mouth shut about their history. Chad questions what that has to do with Abigail. Clyde explains that he went to the DiMera Mansion one night with the excuse that he was there to talk business with EJ, but he didn’t trust him, so he planted a bug in the house to keep tabs on him. Clyde reveals that’s how he found out that EJ betrayed him and heard him talking to Belle. Clyde complains that EJ lied after assuring him that what happened in the park would be their secret. Clyde recalls hearing EJ talking about his plan to make sure Clyde would never be able to hurt anyone again but Belle talked him out of it. Clyde knew Belle still had every intention of making him pay, so he knew they were coming after him one way or another, so he decided to send EJ a message since he knew Belle was living at the mansion and wanted to teach her a lesson…

EJ remembers Chad saying he came to pick something up and realizes it was the gun. EJ tells Belle that Chad just found out who really murdered his wife and is going to handle Clyde himself, by killing him.

Rafe calls to put an APB out on Clyde Weston, wanted for murder and attempted murder so he’s considered extremely dangerous. Nancy cries that this can’t be true. Craig tries to comfort her but Nancy tells him not to touch her. Nancy runs out of the room, so Chloe and Craig go after her. Rafe decides they need to find Clyde and exits with Jada.

Belle says she’s really calling the police now as they have to do something. EJ feels they need to find Chad themselves before it’s too late.

Chad still wants to know how Clyde went from taking Belle out to murdering his wife. Clyde explains that when he got to the mansion that night, there was no sign of Belle or EJ. Chad asks if he just decided to kill his wife then. Clyde says that’s not how it went down. Chad screams at him to tell him what happened because he wants to know everything about how his wife died.

EJ tells Belle that Clyde’s been living with Nancy so maybe he’s there. Belle reminds him that they are getting married today at City Hall. Belle decides she’s going with EJ despite EJ saying no. Belle adds that first she’s going to call Shawn to let him know that they think Clyde is at City Hall. EJ still doesn’t want to involve police. Belle worries that Chad isn’t experienced with guns while Clyde is and asks if he’s prepared to deal with what happens if Clyde gets the gun away from Chad. EJ then agrees to let Belle call the police, but tells her to do it from the car as they rush out of the mansion.

Nancy returns to the Kiriakis Mansion and sits with Bonnie. Bonnie apologizes as she knows what Justin said upset her. Nancy responds that it’s ok because Justin was right as Clyde never showed up for the wedding, but the police did with a warrant for his arrest. Nancy cries that Clyde stabbed Sonny, and even worse, they said he killed Abigail. Bonnie tells her she’s so sorry. Nancy doesn’t want to believe it and kept arguing that the Clyde she knows would never do such horrible things but she couldn’t change their minds. Nancy breaks down crying as Bonnie hugs her.

Chad screams at Clyde to start talking. Clyde says he doesn’t want to do this. Clyde doesn’t think it will do him any good to hear about it. Chad accuses him of stalling as he holds the gun on him. Chad points out a freshly dug grave and threatens to put Clyde in it.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Victoria: You got my invite for the meeting with the semiconductor firm that we’re acquiring?

Nick: Got it. I’ll be there.

Victoria: And you’re on top of the publicity team as far as making the announcement?

Nick: On it. Let’s talk about another one of our possible acquisitions. Are you still planning on acquiring chancellor-winters?

Victoria: Full steam ahead.

Nick: And you have run this by dad?

Victoria: I have. And he seems to be fully behind it.

Nick: Surprised you didn’t lead with that news.

Victoria: Yes, no, I’m very excited that dad is on board. Newman acquiring chancellor-winters would be a total game changer.

[ Sighs ] I’m sorry. I-I know I’m a little bit preoccupied today.

Nick: No, all good. Everything okay?

Victoria: Yeah, it’s fine. I-I just might need to run out for a little while. I might be a few minutes late for the meeting. So if you don’t mind getting the ball rolling, that would help me a lot, and I’ll be there as soon as I can.

Nick: Of course. You want to talk about it, vick? You do seem rattled today.

Victoria: I thought I was doing a better job of hiding things, but I guess you know me too well.

[ Sighs ] I have to deal with a personal matter with one of the kids, and it cannot go wrong.

Chelsea: Oh, hey.

Billy: Hi.

Chelsea: Do you mind if i join you?

Billy: No, please.

Chelsea: I’m really glad i bumped into you, actually. I wanted to thank you again for agreeing to tell johnny the truth about my connection to him. And for helping me convince victoria.

Billy: Oh, I don’t convince victoria to do anything. She makes up her own mind.

Chelsea: Well, despite her initial reservations, she seemed very understanding and open-minded.

Billy: Oh, that’s victoria most of the time. She’s very capable of seeing all sides of the situation.

Chelsea: Well, as far as my side goes, I promise, I plan to be very patient about the timing. You know, I know you and victoria need to find the perfect moment to talk to johnny, so…

Billy: Actually, you’re not gonna have to wait for very long. We plan on telling johnny today.

Audra: Thanks for meeting me this morning. I wanted to continue our conversation when I was well-rested.

Nate: I get the feeling that you’re sharper on no sleep than most ipo advisors are after eight hours.

Audra: [ Chuckles ] I’ll take the compliment. Sometimes, I do calculate profit/loss statements in my head to help me drift off.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] Tell me why I can see that.

[ Chuckles ] So, what would you like to know before walking into chancellor-winters?

Audra: None of my questions will matter if chancellor-winters isn’t going public. I’m hoping to hear during our meeting, but do you know if an official decision has been made?

Nate: I haven’t heard anything yet, but that just makes me more optimistic that it will happen.

Audra: In that case, why don’t you give me the lay of the land, the dynamics behind the scenes at the company? I like to know all the players before the games begin.

Lily: So I’m having the video call set up. Before we hop on, I just want to make sure that we’re still on the same page with the decision we made last night.

Devon: Yes, we are still on the same page, and I have not changed my mind one bit.

Lily: Okay, good. Alright, well, let’s do this.

Devon: Okay.

Jill: Hey there.

Lily: Hey. Good morning.

Devon: Thanks for hopping on with us, jill.

Jill: I’m just intrigued as to why you wanted to talk.

Devon: Lily and I are in agreement, and we are ready to take chancellor-winters public.

Jill: Oh, fantastic. Listen, you have made the right decision. From now on, chancellor-winters is going to be unstoppable.

Sally: So, last time we pitched to victoria, I just think we tried to cover too many topics at once. I’m just worried that our agenda got a little muddled, like we’re just trying to throw ideas at a wall, hoping something sticks. So this time I want to be more focused. Like, maybe we just go hard on our top two or three priorities.

Chloe: Okay, so you’re saying you want to just consolidate our to-do list?

Sally: Yeah, I mean, there’s so much we want to do, I just don’t want our enthusiasm to get the best of us.

Chloe: Yeah. Mm. Agreed. You know what? Since we’re all fueled up, you know, why don’t we just head back to the office and finish up?

Sally: Sounds good.

Adam: Hi, ladies. Plotting world domination this morning?

Sally: Every morning.

Adam: I don’t doubt that. I would never bet against you.

Sally: Smart man.

Chloe: Okay, what’s going on here? ‘Cause this polite banter is really freaking me out. So either we’re all just okay now, or someone is suddenly ready to explode.

Jill: I’m thrilled to get things moving. Oh, and you should connect with that ipo advisor that I recommended.

Lily: We are, with audra charles. We’ll be meeting with her later this morning.

Jill: Great. Wow. I’m loving how everything is just coming together.

Lily: Yeah, we are, too. I got to say, though, devon took some convincing.

Devon: Mm, I — that’s true. I did. Little bit.

Lily: But we’re on the same page now, and I assured him that we’ll orchestrate this in a way where we retain control of the company even after going public.

Jill: That’s exactly what i want. And by the way, where are your coos? I thought billy and nate would be in on this call. After the last one, I have to admit, I was a little concerned about nate.

Devon: There’s no need to be. That’s all been put to rest.

Jill: Okay, good. So billy and nate will be in on the meeting with miss charles.

Devon: Correct. Nate will be there.

Lily: Yeah, billy will be here later, as well. He’s just dealing with a family issue.

Jill: Is everyone okay?

Lily: Yeah, everyone’s fine. I’m sure he’ll fill you in later.

Jill: I won’t keep you, then. I have to tell you that I’m very excited about these latest developments, and I’ll check in with you later.

Lily: Okay. Thanks for everything, jill.

Devon: Talk to you later.

Jill: Okay.

Devon: Alright. Um…hey. I know that, uh, family always comes first, but what’s really going on with billy? ‘Cause for him to miss this meeting and then maybe miss the one with audra, it makes me question if his heart is really in this.

Chelsea: You’re going to talk to johnny today?

Billy: Yeah. Yeah. I’m going to go pick him up, and then we’re going to go — we’re going to go meet victoria.

Chelsea: Wow, that’s really exciting. Wow. I know I said earlier I was being patient, but that wasn’t entirely true. I could hardly sleep last night, realizing that johnny was going to know who I really am soon. I just didn’t realize it was going to be this soon, but —

Billy: Well, once we decided it was the right thing to do, we thought, “why wait?” Of course, as we’ve talked about, there’s no way to know how he’s going to react to the information.

Chelsea: Of course. I understand, and I’m not expecting any miracles right off the bat. This would be a lot of information for anyone to process, let alone a little boy of that age.

Billy: You know, johnny, he’s very attached to his family. You know, he likes his routine. And this is going to be a titanic change in his life.

Chelsea: I promise not to interfere with anything, but I do think that this will be a first big step towards something really healthy and rewarding for all of us.

Billy: I hope you’re right.

Victoria: Billy and I have come to a decision that we’re going to tell johnny that chelsea is his biological mother.

Nick: Wow. That’s huge. I know that’s not a decision you could’ve come to very easily. I remember a few years back, adam wanted to go to christian and tell him that he was his biological father. I was able to do some damage control, and, frankly, my boy was just too young to understand, but I know at some point in the future it’s something we’re all going to have to deal with.

Victoria: Up until now, I put it out of my mind. I just pushed it away, feeling that we would tell him eventually.

[ Sighs ] But chelsea has been asking questions lately, and somehow, I don’t know how it’s possible, but my little boy, he’s old enough to know the truth. He’s old enough to have a say in what comes next.

Nick: Vick, you are johnny’s mother. He adores you. You’ve been with him every step of his life, even before he could take his own steps.

Victoria: I know that deep down, and I’m always going to want what’s best for him, but I’m really — I’m just praying that I made the right choice.

Sally: Nothing is about to explode between me and adam, I’ve moved on. However, we both still work and live in this town, so I’m hoping that things can remain pleasant between us when we see each other around.

Adam: Completely agree. I have come to the conclusion that moving on is the best thing for both of us, as well. You made it pretty clear the other day there is no future for us, so I am stepping back to let you focus on the things you need to focus on. There’s no hard feelings, no reason for any awkwardness.

Sally: Great.

Adam: Well, I should… go. Okay.

Chloe: Okay, that exchange was civil and downright mature. I’m really proud of you for focusing on your own life instead of that jerk.

Sally: Yeah, well, I’m not that mature. That jerk is still on my mind but less and less every day.

Chloe: Onward and upward.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Cellphone pings ]

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis persists…

Nate: As you may know, jill is a force to be reckoned with.

Audra: Just one of the many reasons I liked her when we met.

Nate: She’s one of a kind, for sure. But these days, jill seems less interested in power and control than she is in providing a financial legacy for her family.

Audra: Got it.

Nate: Jill handpicked lily winters to run chancellor before the merger. It was lily’s idea to combine the two companies. She’s really hitting her stride as co-ceo and is only getting stronger by the day.

Audra: Sounds like my kind of woman.

Nate: Then there’s billy abbott, lilly’s coo.

Audra: Jill’s son.

Nate: Mm-hmm. And lily’s significant other. But that’s not the reason he has the job alone. Billy really knows what he’s doing, yet he is content in letting others take center stage.

Audra: You haven’t mentioned the other key player, devon hamilton.

Nate: Mm. Devon brought hamilton-winters to the party. He’s nothing if not focused and single-minded.

Audra: Mm.

Nate: Now, why don’t you tell me how you got into this business?

Audra: There’s plenty of time for that later. Right now, we have a meeting to get to and, hopefully, a company to take public.

Chloe: Okay, so let’s dig into this list of priorities.

Sally: Yeah, why don’t you start whittling them down? I’m just gonna go upstairs for a quick meeting with nick.

Chloe: Oh, you want me to go with you?

Sally: That’s okay. I think he just wants a brief one-on-one.

Chloe: You’ve been doing a lot of one-on-one meetings with nick lately.

Sally: He’s a good boss. He just wants us to succeed.

Chloe: Yeah, well, that’s — that’s great, because we really do need him on our side. The last thing we need is any more conflict. Just feels good just to focus on the work.

Nick: [ Knocks on door ] Glad I caught you. Did you get my text? Can I talk to you for a second?

Billy: Alright, remember what your coach said? You got to dribble with both feet. Find an opening. Go — oh. Oh-ho! Look at him. Look at him. He’s getting better.

[ Sighs ]

Victoria: You know, there’s really no way to prepare for this, but he had a good night’s rest, and he had a big breakfast.

Billy: He always eats a big breakfast.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] I can’t tell you how many times I wanted to grab ahold of them this morning and tell them how much I love him, but I knew he would just roll his eyes at me.

Billy: You know, you may feel like he’s outgrowing your love, but he’s not. He never will.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Thank you.

Billy: What do you think? You ready?

Victoria: Just let me watch him just for another minute.

[ Breathes deeply ] I tried to ground myself. I knew eventually this day was going to come, but, honestly, I’ve had years to prepare for it emotionally, and still it’S…

[ Sighs ]

Billy: It’s been a long road to get here, you know, a journey that started before he was even born. We wanted a family so badly, and I made a lot of mistakes out of desperation, things that I did wrong in that time.

Victoria: Don’t have to go there, billy. It’s okay.

Billy: All I’m saying is that I have regrets, but him being our son, coming into our life when he did, that is definitely not one of them. He’s such a sweet, innocent kid. He’s been a joy from the moment he came to us.

Victoria: He’s the greatest& joy of my life.

[ Sighs ]

Billy: Remember how he used to smile in this bed, in this little crib, sleeping?

Victoria: Yes, he was the happiest baby ever.

[ Sniffles ]

Billy: Yeah. All those bedtime stories, he would just…

Victoria: Oh, god.

Billy: …Get swallowed up in all of it long after katie fell asleep.

Victoria: Yeah, I didn’t think you were ever going to get out of there until morning sometimes.

Billy: Oh, I could’ve read to him all day. Some of my favorite memories.

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

Billy: [ Sighs ] I just can’t believe that sweet little kid is so grown-up.

Victoria: Yeah.

Billy: You know, I got to say, whatever was going on between us all of that time, he had a very loving, stable home. You deserve most of the credit for that.

Victoria: You were a wonderful father. And you will continue to be.

Billy: And you will always be his mother. Forever.

Victoria: Thanks.

[ Sighs ]

Billy: What do you say? Is it time to let this be more of his life story than ours?

Victoria: Yeah. I’m ready. I’m ready.

Billy: Hey, buddy, come over here for a sec.

Victoria: Johnny, hey, honey…

Billy: Hey.

Victoria: …Come sit down. There’s something that we need to talk to you about. Music (I swear)

Chloe: It’s actually my fault that sally is running a bit late. We got super into our work, and now we’re just busy making things happen.

Nick: I love hearing that.

Chloe: So I’ll give you guys some privacy to talk.

Nick: Does she know about us?

Sally: I haven’t said a word to anyone.

Nick: Me neither.

Sally: Good. So you wanted to talk to me about something work-related?

Nick: Partly.

Sally: Is it something I should be concerned about?

Nick: No. It’s all good. I was wondering if you wanted to, uh, discuss it over dinner.

Sally: Can I check my schedule and get back to you? I have another meeting that I have to attend that I do not plan on missing or even being late for.

Nick: Yeah. Just let me know.

Sally: Will do.

Nick: [ Exhales sharply ]

Lily: Billy is behind us doing the ipo.

Devon: Yeah, but that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m asking, is he fully committed to chancellor-winters in general? Because it’s going to take everyone being at 100% to pull off this ipo.

Lily: Look, the family issue that he’s dealing with is very important, but he has recommitted himself to this job and everything it entails.

Devon: Are you trying to convince yourself or me? You can tell me the truth. What’s happening with him?

Lily: Well, I mean, I guess sometimes I feel like billy is pushing himself a little too hard to make this position work for him.

Devon: Okay.

Lily: You know, because when he talks about it, he talks about it in terms of supporting me, which I appreciate, but i think, to do this job, you know, with everything it entails, like the hard work and the long hours and the stress, you have to love it. And I know that he wants to love it, but I think you can’t really force something that isn’t there.

Nate: Hey, lily, devon.

Lily: Hi.

Nate: Let me introduce you to audra charles, chancellor-winters’ ipo miracle worker.

Audra: It’s nice to meet you.

Lily: Yeah, we’ve heard great things about you from jill.

Audra: I plan to live up to them.

Nate: Based on our earlier conversation, I have no doubt she will.

Chelsea: Nick?

Nick: Hey, chels.

Chelsea: Hi. I was looking for victoria.

Nick: Yeah, she’s out of the office right now. I’m sure she’s with billy and johnny. Vick told me everything about, you know, what’s going on with you guys.

Chelsea: Right. Sure. I bet. Yeah, I’m just trying to rein in my anticipation. That’s why I came here instead of, you know, calling billy. I didn’t want my name popping up on his phone at an inopportune time during a very delicate conversation.

Nick: Yeah, that’s the right move.

Chelsea: Yeah, just trying to give him some space.

Nick: Well, I’m sure you’re wondering how — how it went. It’s got you on edge, I bet.

Chelsea: I’m not going to lie, it’s a little nerve-racking, but my thoughts and my heart are entirely with johnny right now. I mean, this is big news, something that could impact a child’s life forever.

Billy: So your mom and I were just sitting here reminiscing about how lucky we are to have you in our life, and I know that we’ve talked about this in the past, but after mom had your brother reed, the doctor said she wasn’t able to have any more kids until we were very pleasantly surprised with your sister. But you, uh — you remember all that stuff, yeah?

Johnny: Uh, yeah. I’ve heard the story all my life. I grew in mom’s heart, not her stomach. I know.

Billy: I guess we’re just wondering if you have any questions about that?

Johnny: Not really.

Victoria: We just wonder if maybe you ever think about your birth mother.

Johnny: No.

Victoria: Because it’s okay if you do. It wouldn’t hurt our feelings at all. You have every right to wonder about it and to want to know about it. And, um… look, we feel that you’re at an age where it just — it might be the right time.

Billy: You know, the woman that gave us a chance to be a family, she lives here. She lives here in genoa city.

Victoria: You know her.

Johnny: What?

Victoria: Chelsea. Connor’s mom.

Johnny: [ Breathes deeply ] But we just saw her at the pool the other day. Were you all planning on telling me this? Behind my back?

Victoria: No, no, it’s not like that.

Johnny: Well, what’s it like, then? Because you asked me if i wondered about my birth mom, and I said no. You just — you told me anyways? Why? What’s really going on here? Is something going to change? Don’t mind me. I’m just the flu.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Lily: So great to put a face to the name.

Audra: Same here.

Lily: Yeah, so billy will be here later, but this is my brother and co-ceo devon hamilton.

Devon: Hello.

Audra: Your reputation precedes you.

Devon: I hope that’s a good thing.

Audra: That man who built hamilton-winters into what it is today? How could it not be? Nate has been singing your praises.

Lily: Oh, I didn’t know that you two knew each other so well.

Audra: We met by pure coincidence last night. I was at a local coffeehouse, and I recognized him from the media coverage of your launch party. Then he gallantly took me out to breakfast this morning to let me pick his brain a little.

Lily: Okay, great. Well, I’m glad you two are getting along and that you’re familiarizing yourself with the company, ’cause I think that’ll come in handy.

Nate: Does this mean…?

Lily: Yep, chancellor-winters is going public.

Nate: That’s exciting.

Audra: A smart decision, in my opinion.

Lily: Yeah, thank you. I think we’re all in agreement on that.

Devon: Yeah.

Lily: So let’s get down to business, yeah?

Audra: This is where it gets fun. Let me tell you why I’m here and what I can do for you. My purpose is to walk you through the ipo process from start to finish, offering advice and recommendations before, during, and after the actual offering. Yeah, there are a lot of things you just couldn’t know if you’ve never done this before.

Lily: Yeah, and we haven’t done it before, so can you be a little bit more specific?

Audra: Of course. So the first thing I’ll do is an ipo-readiness assessment. Assuming that goes well, I can offer project management services, technical accounting, and help with the sec reporting. There is a lot of paperwork to file, so we’ll put together a timeline that will keep us on track as far as what we need to do and what’s coming up next. I’ll oversee the drafting process and stay on top of the deadlines to make sure things go as smoothly and efficiently as possible.

Devon: Well, you sound like exactly what we need, somebody that has a lot of knowledge and experience in this area.

Audra: And I look forward to joining forces with you. This is clearly a team of all-stars, and working together, we’ll be unstoppable.

Lily: I love it. Your energy is infectious.

Audra: It’s rooted in data. But based on the research I’ve done so far, I am confident that this could be the most satisfying business move you will ever make.

Nate: You two definitely made the right decision.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Nothing is going to change. That’s not why we told you.

Billy: No, we just thought you should know. You’re getting older, you know?

Victoria: Other people know. It might come up at some point. We didn’t want you to hear it from anyone else, sweetie.

Johnny: Great, so everybody knows that my birth mother lives in town? You told me. Thanks. Now, I don’t want to talk about it ever again.

Billy: Johnny.

Nick: I’m sure this revelation will have a huge impact on johnny’s life, just like I know it’s going to have a huge impact on yours.

Chelsea: Thanks for understanding. And I’m not trying to stake a claim to johnny. I completely respect billy and victoria’s roles as his parents. They’ve done a wonderful job.

Nick: Vick is the best mom a kid could have.

Chelsea: I know in my heart i did the right thing giving johnny to them to raise. I know — I knew then I needed to take a step back so he could live a beautiful life, one that I couldn’t give him at the time. You know, he deserves to have an amazing family, a loving family, without all the baggage I had back then. I’m just hoping that johnny will understand I did what I did out of love.

Nick: Look, my nephew is an awesome kid. He is open-hearted and empathetic. That’s because of the way vick and billy raised him. He’s at a tricky age, but I know he’ll understand how much you care about him.

[ Cellphone vibrates ]

Chelsea: Excuse me. Oh, my god. It’s from billy. It’s done. Johnny finally knows who I really am.

[ Sighs ] Alright, the reason why your dishes

Lily: Well, that was very productive. Thank you for laying things out so clearly and objectively.

Devon: Yeah, we appreciate that, and we look forward to next time.

Audra: Do I take that to mean I’ve been officially hired?

Lily: Yeah. Right?

Devon: Yeah, I think so.

Lily: Yes, you have the job.

Audra: Great. I will get to work right away and circle back when it’s time for another meeting. I’m truly excited about this.

Lily: Good. Well, thank you.

Devon: Yeah, take care.

Lily: Jill’s instincts were spot on. She’s fantastic.

Devon: Yeah, I feel like we’re in really good hands. But we probably should have asked your opinion before we officially brought her on board. What’d you think?

Nate: I approve if you guys approve.

Devon: Yeah? I would assume you would have a stronger opinion since you got to know her before the official meeting.

Nate: I hope you’re not trying to start something when we’re finally in a good place again.

Devon: How’s that me trying to start anything? It was a compliment. You obviously made a good impression on her, which is great for our company.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] In that case, thanks.

Victoria: I’m sorry I missed the meeting. Things with johnny went longer than I thought.

Nick: Yeah, not a problem. I handled it. Everything okay?

Victoria: Honestly, I don’t know.

Nick: What happened?

Victoria: [ Sighs ] I’m not sure I’m ready to talk about it.

Nick: Yeah, I get it. Just so you know, chelsea came by here, very anxious for some news.

Victoria: Well, chelsea can wait. She’s not my priority. Right now, I just came by to pick up a few things so I can go home and spend some more time with johnny.

Nick: So it didn’t go well.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] It went worse than I expected.

Chelsea: How did johnny take the news? Does he have a lot of questions? I mean, I’m sure he does, but what I mean is —

Billy: Chelsea, um… he’s going to need some time to process the information.

Chelsea: Yeah, of course, but, I mean, what was his initial reaction? I’m assuming shock and surprise, but was he at least a little relieved to find out it was me? Because he knows me, you know, he’s comfortable with me.

Billy: Chelsea.

Chelsea: Don’t you think this is going to help him in the long run? Does he want to see me?

Billy: [ Sighs ] Look, um… we’re not going to push things with him.

Chelsea: Right, well, I’m just wondering of ways I can help the situation. You know, like when he gets to know me in this context, I’ll be here. I’ll be waiting.

Billy: I don’t think you’re hearing me. This news, it really threw him. You know, johnny’s a very happy kid, and he doesn’t want his world to change. And we’re not going to pressure him to do anything that he doesn’t want to do.

Chelsea: Well, I hate that it was so hard on him.

Billy: And the last thing we’re going to do is make it harder on him. To be honest [Sighs] It’s all catching me off guard, this immediate want to be a participant in his life. It’s not what we discussed when we talked about telling him the truth, and this was always about him. It should be about what’s best for johnny.

Chelsea: That’s what I want.

Billy: Except it seems like you want more.

Chelsea: I just want johnny to be okay. Everything else, um… everything else is just about what he — what he wants and what he can handle, so, um… okay, well, thanks for filling me in. I got to go.

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Why hide your skin

Adam: Hey. How you doing?

Chelsea: I’m fine, adam. You don’t need to worry about me.

Adam: I’m not worried. I just… I got a call from connor this morning. He said he scored two goals in his game last night?

Chelsea: Yeah. Yeah, he’s really coming into his own on that field.

Adam: Hey, I had a thought. Do you remember when you wanted to take connor to see anita? Maybe long term?

Chelsea: I obviously remember. I also remember your response.

Adam: Well, I’m still not in favor of that, but I was thinking that we could finally do that “something together as a family” thing, maybe take him to that amusement park he’s been begging us to go to.

Chelsea: You hate spinny rides.

Adam: Yeah, but I love my kid.

Chelsea: And you think we could be together for hours without being at each other’s throats?

Adam: Chelsea, of course we can. Okay? We’ll divide and conquer the park. You can do the spinny rides, and I will get wet on the log rides. It’ll be modern parenting at its finest.

Chelsea: I’ll talk to connor about it.

Adam: Well, no time like the present. Why don’t we do it together?

Chelsea: Because it’s not a good time for me, adam. I’m having a bad day. Why are you pushing this?

Adam: Just thought it might be fun.

Chelsea: You know, when i asked you if I could take connor away for a little while, you accused me of using my son to fix me. And, what, now you’re proposing this family outing, what, as a way to fix whatever’s wrong with me this week?

Adam: That is not what I’m doing at all.

Chelsea: Well, then maybe you’re trying to fill a hole in your own life. I would never use my son to make my life better. I just want to love him and take care of him. Why can’t anyone understand that?

Adam: Chelsea.

Nick: Vick, it doesn’t matter how old somebody is. Getting news like this can absolutely rock them. But kids are tougher than we give them credit for. Sometimes they can adapt to things better than adults can. I’m very confident johnny is going to understand this and maybe even someday make peace with it.

Victoria: I really hope you’re right, but I just can’t shake this awful feeling that I’ve made the wrong decision and that I’ve messed him up for the rest of his life.

Nick: You haven’T. Trust me, johnny is surrounded by people who love and care about him, including his uncle nick. You know, maybe — maybe we need to hang out, just go to the batting cages or maybe play some video games and absolutely not talk about this unless that’s what he wants to do.

Victoria: Well, I appreciate that. I do. And I may take you up on it, but I think that this is a much deeper issue, that it is not going to be easy for him to come to terms with.

Nick: Well, I’m here for whatever you need.

Victoria: Thank you.

[ Cellphone pings ] Who’s that?

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Devon: Hey, hey.

Lily: Hey.

Devon: Have you heard from billy?

Lily: Yeah, he’s on his way. He said he’s sorry for missing the meeting.

Devon: Are you ready to tell me what he’s really got going on, though?

Lily: Uh, I’m not really sure it’s my place.

Devon: I understand. There’ll be more meetings before the ipo. I’m sure he won’t miss them all.

Lily: No.

[ Cellphones ping ] Oh, wow. Audra sent over initial figures already.

Devon: It was really fast.

Lily: My god, it’s all really happening.

Devon: I know. It is. I’m feeling a lot better about my decision, too.

Lily: Yeah, me, too. And I couldn’t be more excited to be doing this side-by-side with you.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: Just finalizing some dinner plans.

Victoria: Uh-huh. Okay.

[ Cellphone rings ] Oh, well, you’re off the hook for now, because I have to take this call.

Nick: You are a busy woman.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Hello?

Nate: Great news. It’s official. Chancellor-winters is going public. When and where can we meet to talk about taking our next big step.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Come on in. Oh, gosh. Want to start a fire, maybe? I’ll pour us a couple of brandies. Yeah, I think that’s a good idea. Thanks. Ohh. I guess consider it down payment. On what? I owe you a pair of shoes. Oh. Ce n’est rein.

Ce n’est pas rein. They were very nice shoes. Not to mention comfortable. Well, no mission is without its sacrifice. Yeah, but we failed. Oh, I don’t know. Lucy is still in victor’s clutches. By her own choice. But we got on the haunted star and off again undetected. We returned a stolen zodiac — “borrowed.”

Borrowed zodiac. But here we are, slightly damp, missing a shoe… but otherwise none the worse for wear. And we’re together. I’ll call that a win. Take it, ava. It’s yours.

[ Monitor beeping ] I don’t care if that envelope contains a cashier’s check for a million bucks. You can’t buy back my love or my trust, both of which you threw away when you chose to have sex with esme prince. It’s not money. I’m not trying to buy back your love. Like I said before, this is proof of just how much I love you. What is this? You might say… it’s my life. And as you can see… it is now in your hands. Mr. Scorpio. Can I get you a drink? A glass of white wine would be great. Thank you. Okay. What? We’re two minutes late. You already have your nose buried in your e-mails. I told you he needed a break. Speak for yourself, little brother, who’s been looking for brando’s killer since they got out of bed. You know, I’m thinking… this guy probably sharpened the hook on ava first. Can we agree that both scorpio brothers need a break? I need a break, too. And I’m not exactly squeamish, but can we talk about something else besides hooks? Of course. You know I can’t deny you anything. That’s better.

[ Sighs ] Okay. Now you’ve got your way. What are we gonna talk about? I can think of at least one topic for sure. Uh, hey, could I get a bottle of beer? Foreign or domestic? Domestic. Always domestic. Oh, and, also, could you make sure you have a bottle of champagne chilling for when my date arrives? She’s a bit more upscale than me. Ah, great. Him? What, is he stalking me now? You know, on second thought, y– hold the beer. And the bubbly. Terry, I just want to tell you I am officially off the clock. Wish me luck. From the looks of things, your luck is already improving. Thank you. I am going on another date with cody. Last time we saw each other was at the quartermaine picnic, and we all know how that ended. Tonight is a new night. Have a good time. Thank you! Oh, when were those delivered? Ooh. More importantly, who are they for? “Lovely terry, until we meet again.” Since when did you get a secret admirer? It’s not a secret. His name’s yuri. And I met him at the quartermaine barbecue… hm! …Which just goes to show you that night wasn’t a complete disaster. I need you! Oh, it’s too late. I’m off the clock. No. Not you, britt. Can we talk? It’s important. If brando was specifically targeted, we need to figure out why. We need to talk to people that he worked with. Maybe they know if he was in a dispute with someone. Anything that will give us a clue as to who brando’s killer is. I see. “We’re” following clues now? Listen, if this is any kind of an inconvenience for you, I’m perfectly capable of following up on my own. What, and cut me out of what might be an important article? Not a chance. When do we start? Now.


[ Fire crackling ] Good to get out of these damp clothes. Sorry I didn’t have a robe for you, but… do you want a blanket? No, no. It’s not necessary. I ran out of brandy. So…scotch. Is it okay? Always. Especially when it’s that good. Yeah.

[ Glasses clink ] How are you? Well, I think I’m dreaming because… you are even more beautiful by firelight. Thank you. That wasn’t what I was asking. In the space of two years, you’ve learned that you were raised to believe a lie, that helena was your mother and victor is your father. And now charlotte, the one person that you love without reservation, has been taken from you… as leverage. If you want to maintain that everything’s fine and you’re handling it, I won’t press. But I’ve been where you are. Or close enough. Was keeping a cool facade when my life was literally blowing up in flames… and I wanted to scream and cry. But I was too afraid because if I started, I didn’t think I would know how to stop. And then if I was broken, truly broken, what would happen to my child? Or I could just be projecting all of that. Sometimes I think my fear for my daughter and my rage at victor cassadine is the only thing keeping me sane. Is he following us now? He’s probably wondering the same thing about us. Are we following him? You know, I have not the slightest idea what you’re talking about, and, um… who’s this dude at the bar? He’s new in town. As a kid, he went to camp with dante. He works at the quartermaine stables now. Come on, mac. Robert’s gonna find out sooner or later. What’s robert gonna find out? His name is cody bell. Bell. That name was on a list of 50 people at the quartermaines’ at the time that ava was attacked. That’s not all that he is. Finn, you seem more serious than usual. I… did you identify the venom that killed brando corbin? Britt, aren’t you off the clock and don’t you have a date waiting for you? Yeah. Don’t let us keep you.

[ Cellphone rings ] Cody, I was just on my way to meet you. Cody:

Glad I caught you, then. I just thought maybe we can try something different. Maybe go to meet up at the pc lanes, go bowling? Excuse me? You know, drink a couple beers, roll a few frames. What’s your size? I’ll rent you a pair of rental shoes. I am in a dress and heels. I’m not going bowling. We either stick to the plan and meet at the metro court, or I’m going home. Alone. Alright. Yeah. Metro court it is. See you soon. Change of plans? No. Bye. Bye!

[ Sighs ] Is britt right? Did you want to talk to me about the toxicology report? I’ve identified the venom. I’m waiting on a supply of the serum to treat that venom so we can have it here on hand just in case. Well, if that’s all settled, then why did you not — oh. This is about elizabeth, isn’t it? Wait. Wait, wait. Why is the door open? Oh, brando’s assistant is probably still working. I don’t know. With all the crime that’s been going on around here, I don’t — I don’t have a good feeling about this. It’s just a garage. Let’s go inside.

[ Gasps ] Oh, my god. What the hell?!


Charlotte’s only in this world because of me. And I know every parent gets to say that, but our case is a little different. Helena made an embryo. And it was my call to go with a gestation host. I chose the surrogate. I’m solely responsible for her being alive. And I think that may have been the most selfish thing I’ve ever done. Because I knew the laws I’d broken, the crimes I’d committed. I wronged people. I made so many enemies. I could hide her all I want, but she’s always got a target on her. You think if you had to do it over, you’d make a different choice? No, no, of course not. I feel the same about robin. Apart from the fact that she’s spectacular, I just couldn’t imagine a world without her. Until I became a mother, I just lived my life for myself. And as you know… that led to a series of terrible decisions. I basically just sold my soul to the highest bidder. Robin changed that. Robin just changed my entire perspective. I wanted to be a better person for her. The way you want to be better for charlotte. The only difference is you’ve succeeded. My case is still very much in doubt. Go on. Read it. “I, nikolas cassadine, of sound mind and body…” yeah, that’s debatable. Keep reading. “…Do hereby acknowledge and confess that I, and I alone, am resp…onsible for the disappearance of esme prince. I know this… because I killed her.” You know, you’d think the way that mac keeps looking at this guy, he had something on our mr. Bell. Forget about it, robert. I questioned him about the night at the picnic. He has an alibi. Then why so interested? Britt westbourne. Wasn’t she with cody the night of ava’s attack? Since when does britt westbourne qualify as a legitimate alibi? Look. [ Sighs ] You’ve had a crack at this dude. Maybe I should go over there and rattle his tree a little. -Mr. Cody bell. -Hi. I am definitely ready for that champagne cocktail. Are you sure? You know, I thought maybe we’d relocate to that cool new burger joint off the highway. First it was bowling, and now it’s a burger joint?

[ Scoffs ] Okay. If you don’t want to go on a date with me, just say no. No, no. Britt, it’s not you. It’s, um — it’s them. The scorpio brothers? Chief of detectives has a brother? Law enforcement runs in the family. Robert’s the D.A.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Cellphone chimes ] -Robert, wait. -Mac, what is it? There’s been another attack. The details are minimal. -Anything to do with a hook? -No. Then we don’t know if it’s tied to brando or ava. It could be totally unrelated. It happened at brando corbin’s garage. Sonny’s cousin was the second victim. Yeah, we could be looking at victim number three. Look, I need to take felicia home and then get to the scene. No, no, no, no. That’s okay. I’ll take a ride share. You go ahead and go. And I’m going to the hospital. I want to be there when the victim comes in. I know you’ve been worried about elizabeth, you know, but she’s finally trying to understand the root cause of all the things she’s been experiencing — the memory loss, the blackouts, all of it. Thank you for telling me that. That’s a relief to hear. Ever since biz found us talking about her, it’s like a wall went up between me and my best friend. I know, but with kevin’s help, she’s — she’s finally remembering some things from her past that she’s been repressing for years. About her family? I think so. I know better than to push for more. I won’t ask you to betray her confidence. Thanks. I’m just really glad that as biz goes looking into her past, she won’t be going alone. Oh, my god! That’s diane! Whoever you are, step back from diane now. What? No, no. I-I didn’t do this. I swear. I came in, and I found her like this. Okay? I’m trying to help her. We have to stop the bleeding. You heard me. Step back and keep your hands where I can see them! Alexis, call 911. I already called 911. The paramedics are en route. Who are you? I work for sonny corinthos. Okay? She’s his lawyer. You gonna help her or not? Please! I can barely feel a pulse. We need to slow the bleeding.


[ Glasses clink ] Do you believe the end justifies the means? Well… I’m not supposed to. But you do, don’t you? Yeah. On occasion, yeah. I think it’s my guiding principle. Whatever the desired outcome, it’s worth whatever I have to do to get it. I want to be a better man for charlotte. But what I want more than anything… is to keep her safe. And if that means I have to murder my own father… so be it. Is this a disclaimer? Because I-I do know who I’m dealing with. I don’t have any illusions about who you are, valentin. I enjoyed our evening together on the haunted star. But I could make the argument it was a missed opportunity. I had victor off guard. I could have cut his throat. Why didn’t you? Well, for one, there would be a fail-safe in place. Victor lives, charlotte lives. But victor dies.. yeah. You could not take that chance. But there was another reason I couldn’t have killed my father tonight. You. So you wrote a letter where you claimed you killed esme, something we both know isn’t true. Yeah, the truth is that esme accidentally fell off the parapet and drowned in the water. And that accident happened after you found out that I slept with her. No jury would ever believe that that was actually an accident. And I made that confession to protect you. Do you think this is gonna work? Do you really think that this… melodramatic gesture made at the 11th hour is gonna change how I feel about you? I mean, this so-called confession is actually just a reminder that you did indeed have sex with your son’s girlfriend. And should it ever be made public, well, the whole world would know about that. To expect me to see this as something heroic is just…delusional. You know, I can do a lot of things, ava… but I don’t have a time machine. And I can’t undo the errors of my judgment. Well, that’s a polite euphemism for adultery. The only thing I can do… is to make sure that you don’t suffer the consequences. Make sure that I don’t suffer? Look at me. I’m suffering every day. I suffer all the time. And I’m not talking about a wound from a hook. I’m talking about the pain that I feel because of how — of how you hurt me. The betrayal. The loss of self-esteem. Just the sheer humiliation that I ever bought into your promises of love and fidelity. That stuff, that — those wounds are never gonna heal. If nothing else, I can protect you. From what esme can do to you, even from beyond the grave. And, sure, my confession might not mean anything to you today, but keep it. Put it in a safe deposit box and consider my life on deposit, as well. And if the day ever comes that you need to withdraw it, then you — alright. I’ll keep it. You will? Uh-huh. Under lock and key. But I’m gonna need more than a piece of paper, nikolas. I’m gonna need much more. You saw mac and robert rush out of here. Do you feel better now that they’re gone? Not really. Why not?

[ Chuckles ] Why do you break out in hives at the mere mention of the scorpio name?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, well… let’s just say that, uh, me and law enforcement don’t make a good match. Ooh, let me guess. You are against it? Uh, no. No, no, no. They just tend to be against me and people like me who don’t always play by the rules. Thought that was something we had in common. Ohh. No. I’m — I’m reformed. Are you? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I made a deal, got a clean slate, and I’m sticking to it. This was just delicious. Thank you. May I have a glass of water, please? Well, hello. Another date night. Oh, I’m really glad that the quartermaine picnic didn’t scare you two off. Yeah, well, your husband isn’t gonna scare me off, either. You know? I’m tired of him looking at me like I’m hiding some hook up my sleeve. And now apparently I have to deal with his brother, who’s the D.A.? You know, is that the locals’ idea of an investigation? “There’s a killer running around, so, hey, let’s just blame the newest guy in town.” Mac is just doing his job. I mean, if you don’t have anything to hide, there’s absolutely nothing to worry about. Cody, why don’t we go get that table? Why does it feel like your husband’s investigating me for personal reasons? What makes you say that? I don’t know. You tell me. Is it just because he knew my mom? Man: Lift. Okay.

[ Siren wailing ]

[ Radio chatter ] Alexis, catch me up. Alexis! I-it’s diane, mac. Diane miller? She’s hanging on, but just barely. You. Again? No, no. He was the first one to find diane. He called 911. If it weren’t for him, she’d be dead now. You want to tell me what you were doing here in the first place? I need to go to the hospital with diane. I need to be with my friend. Is it alright if we leave? You know, we’ll answer any questions you may have. But just for the record, from what we saw, this young man did everything he could to save diane’s life. Of course. Go ahead. But we’re gonna want to question both of you. Thank you. I know you work for sonny. He’s a good man. You listen to him and you tell him the truth. Alexis just gave you some good advice. Question is, are you going to take it?


Do you think I’d have a problem with you killing victor? I don’t know. Maybe, maybe not. You’d have a problem with my killing your good friend lucy. Well, yeah. Which I would have to do. I couldn’t leave a witness. I’d be a witness. Well, there is that. Hm. ‘Cause I’d be asking you to stay quiet about the death of your friend. And I know you wouldn’t do that. So I’d have to kill you, too. Could you? Alright. What more can I do to prove myself to you? If esme’s disappearance is ever investigated by the police, my confession — it proves your innocence and my guilt. Well, nikolas, you have a history of making grand declarations that come to nothin’. No, I need — I need proof that can’t be faked or forged. Fine. What else do you want me to do? If I’m able, I’ll do it. What are you doing? Here’s what’s gonna happen. You’re gonna take your little confession… and you’re gonna look into the camera and you’re gonna read every single incriminating word.

[ Beep ] Action. Like we told you, when we met you the night of the quartermaine party, back in the day, mac and I ran in the same circles with dominique. The person you really need to talk to is mac. He knew your mother much better than I did. Well, I already talked with scott baldwin, and he was married to my mother, so, arguably, he knew her better than anyone. And he claims that she never said anything about me. Yeah, my champagne’s getting flat. I’m so sorry. I am ruining your date. Yeah, you kind of are. Okay, I’ll let you get on with it. But, you know, you really should talk to mac. Why would I make it easy for him? Easy for him? Your husband’s been asking a lot of questions about me, even though I’m relatively new to port charles and I never even met ava jerome or the other victim. Is he laying the groundwork to frame me? Well, now, that’s not fair. You don’t know mac. Oh, but it’s fair for him to assume to know me? Well, like I said, h-he and dominique were close once. Oh, yeah? How close? If you knew the garage was closed because the owner was murdered and his body was lying in a funeral home, why did you just happen by? I didn’t say that. You did. Damn it. I’m trying to help you! Your fingerprints are all over the place. I mean, you got diane miller’s blood on your hands, literally. You also showed up right after ava jerome was attacked. And to top it all off, you were seen at charlie’s shortly before brando corbin was attacked in the alley outside the pub. So either you’ve got the worst timing in the world or you know a hell of a lot more than you’re saying. My boss always told me not to talk to cops without a lawyer present, so… am I under arrest? I am questioning you. You either answer me here and now or down at the pcpd. What’s it gonna be? Yeah. Got it. Been a report of another stabbing? Paramedics are bringing her in now. Paramedic: Bp is 70 over 40. Tachycardic and lost a lot of blood. Initiate massive protocol here. I need two units in her and run me a center line. Get a dic panel, a cmp… hey. How’d you — how’d you find out about diane so quickly? Um, we were going to brando’s garage to speak with his assistant. We were trying to get information about why brando might have been targeted by the attacker, and that’s when we found diane on the ground. Brando corbin. Diane miller. Ava jerome. They’ve all got one thing in common. Sonny corinthos.


Yeah. I’d kill you. If I had to to save charlotte, just as you would kill me to save robin. Yeah. I would. I’d miss you, though. But anything short of that… I wouldn’t harm a hair on your head. I would protect you as fiercely as I would myself. Because I’ve loved you since I first saw you. An insane, crushing love. Never stood a chance. But look at us. On the floor of your townhouse. I’m baring my soul in front of your fire. And the look in your eyes doesn’t look like pity. It’s not.

[ Monitor beeping ] I, nikolas cassadine, of sound mind and body do hereby acknowledge and confess that I, and I alone, am responsible for the disappearance of esme prince. I know this because I killed her. The means? My own two hands, by pushing her off of the parapet at wyndemere, my family’s estate on spoon island. The motive? Revenge. Justice. Guilt. You take your pick. Esme prince was my son spencer’s girlfriend, and I had sex with her. And to be very clear, it was consensual. And if anything, esme initiated things. But I shouldn’t have given in to my worst instincts. And my behavior was indefensible. However, esme used that lack of judgment to destroy my marriage. Not only that, she used it to destroy the relationship with my son. Any chance of reconciling things with spencer was ruined. In effect, esme destroyed my life. And when she taunted me on the turret, in a fit of rage, I grabbed her and I pushed her to her death. Honestly, my only regret was not doing it sooner to spare the ones that I love the pain that I caused. This I solemnly swear. Cut. Did you get all that? I think I have to go. Um, could I have my check, please? And, um, I interrupted britt and cody’s date. Would you put their drinks on my tab? Oh, that’s very sweet, felicia. Of course. Oh, no. No. I don’t want your charity. Okay? If you want to give me something, then tell me what you and your husband are hiding from me, especially if it’s about my birth mother. Cody, I understand your frustration and I understand the questions that you want answered. This just isn’t my story to tell. If you want answers, you have to talk to mac. I mean, it’s not like it’s some state secret. Okay, then. If it’s no big deal, why can’t you just tell me now? Why do I have to hear it from your husband? Um, here. This is mac’s personal cellphone number. However, before you make that call, you need to ask yourself if you really want to know the truth. Well, this date got way more intense than I expected. Terry: Diane’s wounds appear similar to the ones found on ava jerome and brando corbin. Dr. Dempsey has to operate immediately. She looks so helpless. Thank you. If diane was stabbed with a hook tipped in the same venom that killed brando, we don’t have much time. Okay.


What’s wrong? I’ve wanted you for years. I don’t want to rush this. We can go slow next time. Well, I appreciate you putting your words into action. But if you think I’m gonna fall back into your arms, you — you ought to think again. What are you smiling at? I just rejected you. Oh, yeah, you — you rejected me…

tonight. But I can see that I made progress. So, no… you won’t be back in my arms this time, but you will be in the future. That’s enough for me. I’m leaving you with the recording and this letter. I’m literally leaving you with my life in your hands. One more thing. It’s a chocolate truffle for you. Britt: Well. [ Sighs ] Whether you’re willing to admit it or not, this date pretty much feels over to me. I’m sorry, britt. I really didn’t want tonight to go like this. I believe you. Dominique is your biological mother. Of course you’re gonna have a million questions about her. I understand that. And I’m guessing if felicia is that eager for you to talk to mac that it’s for good reason. So why don’t the two of us quit while we’re ahead?

I never told you, but my Nancy’s married to crash and burn. I gave her little pep, Anna a makeover and I got her on a dating app where I, um, Thank you very much.

Found the sexy stud, who is now her fiance. Mm-hmm. . So she met Clyde. Yes. Isn’t that a coincidence? Uh, Justin, I am just so thrilled for Nancy. I, she was just so crushed when she found out that Craig was cheating on her with a man. I swear now she’s found someone will make her happy for the rest of her life.

So take that Craig Wesley.

Dad, please, can you just talk to her? She will not listen to me. You think she’s gonna listen to me? The guy who broke her heart, Pray through hell. Who do you think’s gonna happen when she becomes Mrs. Clyde Weston Dad? She’s making the biggest mistake of her life. Honey, I understand your concerns, but can put me in the middle of this.

It’s not my place to tell your mom who she should or shouldn’t. Sorry, I just want to, I just talked to Chloe and she and Brady and Craig are gonna meet us at City Hall. Great. That we’re all set. Oh God. I thought my life was over and, and you came along, gave me hope. I love you, Claire, and I can’t wait to be your.

I can’t believe it. Flight to alibis. Bogus. There’s no doubt that he docked the surveillance footage by the docks. Well, which we would never known. Were not for you. Good job, Detective Hunter. Thanks. But you were the one who told me to go over everything again. I mean, that’s why I was able to see. That’s timestamp having altered.

It looks like Chad was right about Leo being framed for Abigail’s murder. Who’s just wrong about who was doing it? Yeah. He thought it was Craig Wesley. But it was glide. We need to issue an arrest warrant on it. We need to do it fast, but by the book. I do assure Chad that his wife’s killer is not gonna slip through our hands again.

What are you doing here?

Like sands through the hour glass. So are the days of our lives.

Dad, can you please go talk to her? Tell her she cannot go through with this wedding. Chloe, maybe. Maybe we should take a minute. We don’t have a minute. We’re due at city hall. We gotta do this now. Oh, you’re not hearing me. Well, you weren’t hearing us before. Remember when we were begging you to see that Leo is a conning lying con artist.

What if we’d stop trying and just said, Forget it. Throw our hands up in the air. You would be broke and married to a bigamist. And I am grateful that you and Brady and everyone who cared about me tried to tell me the truth at the time, but I didn’t wanna listen then. Well, I know. And we did it because we love you and I know that you love mom.

So please, you need to go talk some sense into her. Oh, your mom’s made her choice. And whether we like it or not, kinds. He’s paid his debt to society and from what I can tell, he’s staying on that side of the law.

This marriage is a bit sudden. No. Huh? Well, you find the one. Why? Wait. Huh? You don’t agree? No. In this case, I definitely do not agree. And Bonnie, how can you be excited about Nancy or anyone else marrying a criminal like Clyde Weston? Here’s a rap sheet. As long as my arm, and I believe that he had son stabbed.

Oh, Leo stabbed son. Unless you think he and Clyde were in cahoots. No, I’m talking about an incident that happened several years. It was Clyde’s way of sending Victor a message during a business view that they were having, but no one was ever able to prove that it was him. Well, then maybe he wasn’t involved.

Oh, he was involved. Are you sure? I’m sure I Now he’s involved with Nancy. Sorry to rain on your parade, but this wedding is nothing to Celebr.

Back at your sweetheart. Can’t wait to be your lawfully wooded husband. I just get chills here. You say that, I don’t know if it was fate or good fortune or divine providence, but I’m one lucky man to have you in my life. You wore my miracle. Oh God, it’s true. You know, I got that dating nap. I didn’t think a jail bird like me stood a snowballs chance in hell of meeting anybody, which let a woman like you wanna marry me.

But you took a chance on me and I’m forever grateful. Yeah, I’m just so glad I did. Every day keeps going better and better. This is the best one yet, is our wedding day. Oh, I gotta get a move on. I’ve gotta go make myself beautiful. You already are. Oh, I will see you soon. Right. Bye Bye.

I just came by to pick something up. Another stuffed Mo Charlotte. Oh, something else. And now I have it, so I have to go. Are you alright? Get outta my way. Can you at least tell me if there’s any news on Leo? Are yours innocent? What do you mean? Believe wasn’t the one who killed my wife. It was Clyde Weston.

And now I’m gonna make Hampshire that he pays

well, good evening, their counselor. Where are you off to in such a hurry. None of your business. Well, before you go, tell me how’s your client doing? You know my old buddy partner in crime, EJ Deira, As far as I know, he’s fine. Why do you ask? No reason? You give him my best will you? Don’t worry. I’m gonna hurry myself going to the chapel.

Gonna get married. What? . Well, City Hall, Ashley, your friend Chloe from Mom not getting hitched now. You actually surprise counselor isn’t not the way the criminal justice system is supposed to work. I do my time. I get a second chance. My second chance comes tonight.

Slide. Weston is a career criminal. Who’s to say he didn’t get outta prison and just pick up right where he left off? He’s making honest Living at the pub. Yeah, right. He’s probably dealing drugs outta that place. Oh, at Roman Brady’s. The former police commissioner who gave him a job when no one else would.

I don’t think so. Why are you being so easy on him? Dad, Clyde is a psycho who abused his own children and their mother. What if he does that to mom? Chloe? What? He traumatized Ben so badly. He turned him into a psychopath, a serial killer. Chloe. That was a long time ago. Look, I don’t think this guy’s good for your mom.

I told him, so when I first met him, the side would I. The mom’s made a choice and, and Clyde has shown no signs of going back to the other side. So we gotta be fair. We can’t judge you. So what we just let mom take this ridiculous chance with this guy, this guy that she barely knows. I mean, come on Dad.

Even if Clyde was a perfectly lovely, upstanding citizen with no rap sheet, isn’t it too soon for her to be marrying? Sweetheart. Mother is very happy right now. I don’t wanna be the one to deprive her because I’m being negative. Look, all we have to do, be positive. Show her our support. Okay,

Alex, Alex. Calm down. I will talk to son and try to smooth things over. Yes, I promise I’ll call him right now. What was that about? Alex and Sonny got into a big fight over Titan. Okay. So I have to call Sonny and see if I can sort this out.

Mommy. Nancy Henderson let me in. I hope it’s okay. Well, yes, of course. Aren’t you getting married tonight? Oh, but nothing in my class at works. It’s too late to go shopping. Will you please help me? Oh, honey, of course. How much time do we have? Oh, not much. Well, I just have to work my body magic that much faster,

And before you know it, I’ll have you transformed into the most beautiful bride that ever lived. All right. So just spin around. Let’s get to it. Okay? Okay. Yeah, it’s Rafe. Listen, I just wanna give you a heads up. Claude Wesson’s alibi for Abigail’s murder fell apart. The surveillance footage from the docks was tampered with.

Uh, we just got the arrest warrant and, uh, Now we’re gonna go pick him up. So, uh, I’ll be in touch. Okay? Now all we have to do is find him.

You should warn me that Clyde West didn’t threatened our family. Do you know I’ll never stop being sorry. And forgive me for asking, but doesn’t Clyde have an alibi for that night? I don’t answer your question. Chad, please tell me what happened with Clyde. I want to help

the marriage falls apart. We’ll be there for her. Okay? Right now, I think we owe your mother all the support we can. We gotta be positive and optimistic. Well, I can’t do that. Not if she’s marrying that thug. Come on, Brady. Help me convince him that we have to get my mom to reconsider her. Chloe. Chloe, Look at me sweetie.

I’m sorry. I think your father is right on this one. What? Listen, I hear everything you’re. And I too wish that your mother was making a different decision about Marion Clyde, but it is her decision to make, We have to stay out of it. So unless you plan on being a nohow, maybe we should get ready for a wedding.

Come and as sweetheart, let’s see what we got here.

So I’ve never seen you look more beautiful. Oh,

what’s this? Every bride serves a Okay. And I want you to see it. I’ve had it wrapped in. And the outfit you’re wearing, you borrowed from me and it happens to be new. Also, a necklace you borrowed and that I’ve let you is vintage, so you’ve got all your bridal bases covered. My hair. I’m so touched, buddy.

Thank you. Thank you so much. You know, our, our, our wedding is gonna be very small. Just family. But I would love it if you and and Justin would come.

Oh, my Justin check out our Boshing bride. Is that she fors all because of Bonnie. Oh, I guess that phone call didn’t go so well with Sunny. Um, are things that bad with him and Alex, this isn’t about Alex. What is it about? I don’t know how to say this except to just say it. Clyde was the one who stabbed son.

Oh God. What? Justin, Why would you lay that old news on Nancy on a wedding date? Oh my God. That’s something that happened so long ago. Victor and Clyde had a business wobble. Vic claimed that Clyde sent a message by stabbing son, Bonnie, and watch what? I’m not talking about that. Talking about the stabbing that just happened, the one that landed my son in the hospital.

No, no, Leo did that. Turns out he didn’t. Son just told me that the one who attacked him is Clyde West.

Please chair, call me back as soon as. This. I really do want to help. Well, what are you doing here? Well, I just had a run in with Clyde Weston. Are you alright? Yeah, I’m fine. But I thought you should know since he asked about you in a way that was very unsettling. Where was this? It was in the square. Do you know he’s marrying Chloe’s mom tonight?

Oh my God. I know. It’s horrifying. We can’t let Nancy marry a guy who, who, who put a hit on you and left you to die, and that’s not all he did. According to Chad Clyde’s, also the one who murdered Abigail.

What are you talking about? Clyde did not stab anyone. Yes, Sonny was stabbed from behind. He didn’t see who did it. He didn’t. He only knew that his attacker smelled of vanilla. I guess it was vanilla scented cologne lately. I mean, do you know how many people wear that? That doesn’t prove to any. This afternoon, he also remembered seeing Clyde’s reflection in a picture frame hanging on the wall in his office.

Sonny’s in the hospital being p full of drugs. You can’t trust anything he says. And besides, why would Clyde go after Sonny? Because of some old grudge with with Victor. That’s not why he did it. Son is convinced that Clyde was trying to. Leo Stark. That is even more ridiculous. Leo is out for revenge. He has this hit list, and first on the list was Abigail and then Sunny.

Yes. But after Abigail was murdered, the cops turned Leo loose. They cleared him, so Clyde had to find a way to implicate him again. Seal the deal, if you will. You’re not saying what I think you’re saying. Clyde that he just stab at my son. He also murdered Abigail Damara.

But I thought Clyde had an alibi. So did I. I asked Chad to tell me what it changed, but he just stormed off. He’s in a bad way Bell. I’m really worried about him. Okay. Maybe we should call the police. How would that. I’m gonna handle Clyde, myself.

Cloud’s not here. Dishwasher said he took the night off. Should we check his girlfriend’s house? No, he’s not there either. He’s getting married. Married? Yeah. City hall. Well, let’s go. Yep.

Hey, what you doing? Every buddy? Don’t make a scene. I want you to pretend like everything is. And come with me. I’ll kill you right here, right now. Whoa. We hope Justin, you would be a hot shot attorney, but CDE is innocent. He has an air tight alibi for the night that Abigail was killed, he was down at the doc’s fishing.

There’s a video to prove it. Maybe it would help if you spoke directly with Sonny. Sonny is confused. I mean, and I’m sorry about that. And I’m sorry for everything that he’s been through, but I have a wedding that I need to get to. Bonnie, I, um, I wanna thank you for everything that you’ve done for me, Nancy.

Nancy, listen, I strongly advise you to rethink this wedding. No. Stop trying to ruin this for me. Crye is innocent and he loves. And I am getting married today. Please, this is a big step. So before you take it, just talk to my son. No, and stop it. Right. This one, I am not listening to anymore of this insanity.

I am getting married today and nothing, nothing you can say or do is going to stop me.

I wanna thank you for everything you’ve done for me, but given how your husband feels about my fiance, I don’t think it’s a good idea that you come to my wedding. Oh,

Nancy’s, right? Of course. It’s just right. I mean, CL would never set up anyone. You don’t really believe that? I believe in innocent until perfect. Guilty. I thought you did. Sunny says he saw fly in a reflection. And honey, Nancy’s right son’s on a lot of painkillers. I’m telling you, I saw elephants and pink tutus when I was on those things.

I son could have made a mistake, honey. I don’t think so. You know what? If flights stabbed him before, it makes perfect sense that Sunny’s wine will go there. But honey doesn’t make it really. Hde Weston has done terrible things. So have I. And I know what it’s like to be unfairly judged about your past.

Honey, I was a rotten person, but I changed. Maybe Clyde’s changed too. For Nancy sake. I really hope you’re right.

All is everyone. Thought we were running late. uh, well this might be a, a good sign. Maybe mom changed her mind and canceled the wedding. Uh uh uh, she’s probably just taking some extra time. Getting ready or she wised up and ran. Chloe, we’re going to be supportive. Glad Weston isn’t even here. I mean, what’s keeping him?

Oh, that’s the perfect excuse to leave. We came here, the bride and groomer Mia, so we took off. We can’t do that. Why not? No one’s here. Not even the efficient. I am sure they’re on their way. Well, I gave ’em two more minutes than I’m out Chloe. I know how you feel about the situation, but we are not bailing on your mom.

This is her big day. She asked us to come look. Think I heard she believe she came through that door. We weren’t here. Hmm. And it’s probably her right now. Oh my. I can’t believe this. Did you, did you? Track me here to my ex-wife’s wedding. I, I told you at that interrogation I had nothing to do with Abigail or Sunny.

Wait, no you didn’t stab either one of ’em. You know who did well, we have reason to believe it was Clyde Weston. What doesn’t he have an alibi? Uh, fell apart. Yeah, the timestamp on the video footage that put him at the dock that night, it was altered. Oh my God. I mean, I knew Clyde was a bad guy, but is he?

He’s that bad. He stabbed Sunny and he killed Abigail that way. Oh my God. My mom’s gonna marry that guy. That’s why we’re here. We wanted to get to him before he walks down the aisle.

The hell we doing here, man, that headstone, look at it. I said look at it.

That was my wife, the mother of my children. I wanna know why you put her in the ground. You got the wrong guy man. I had nothing to do with it. I have an alibi, Frog xr. Rav told me that that footage was tampered with, why everyone, including the cops, knows that you were trying to cover your track. So why would you do that if you weren’t guilty?

I wanna know why. Why did you do it? Why did you slaughter? My wife start dog. She crying. Why did you wanna send a message to my brother? Is that why you targeted Abigail? Huh? To warn him against talking about what you did to him? No, it wasn’t like that at all. Then what was it like?

Tell me the truth. I’m telling you the truth.

Abi

man. She wouldn’t know what I meant to kill.

Who was

start talking? He was bail.

Bales the one hour’s half.

What do you mean you’re gonna handle Clyde? What are you planning to do? What I should have done a long time ago. I should have put that animal down the minute I remembered he was the one who had me shut. Okay, EJ take. I’ve lost everything because of him. This ends now. No more.

What’s in there? My father’s God. No ej, I am not gonna let you kill Clyde. If you do that, you’re gonna lose everything all over again. You will end up behind bars for the rest of your life. Abigail is dead because of me, because I kept quiet about what I knew. I brought this help on my family, and now I intend to make things right.

No, ej, you can’t do this. What the hell? What? The God it’s gone.

Bonnie, I love that you have such a forgiving heart, but not everyone is able to turn their life around like you did.

I was able to turn my life around because I had the love of a good man. And now Clyde has the love of a good woman. Can’t you least try to give him the benefit of the,

Sonny was pretty sure about what happened, but Okay, I will talk to him. Thank you. You okay? I’m just worried about Nancy. How the world is she gonna handle getting her heart broken all over again? Well, she’ll just have to lean on the people who care about her wonderful friends like you.

Well, they were supposed to be here by now. What if Clyde found out that the cops are after him and kidnapped my mom and. Oh my God. We have to find them. Hi. Oh, thank God they got Mom. Are you okay? I’m fine. What’s going on? Where’s Clyde? We don’t know. We’re actually trying to find him. You don’t know where he is?

No, I don’t. But I know why you’re hunting him down. It’s because of what son Kka said. Justin told me all about it. Yeah, we just need to find him because he wears vanilla scented cologne. And that son saw his reflection. Huh? Clyde is not the one that stabbed son. His reflection son says that he saw Clyde’s reflection in a picture frame hanging on the wall in.

Wait, he saw a flight in his office? No, he was hallucinating from all the drugs that they’re giving him in the hospital. It’s like to sit down. I can get you some water or something. I do not wanna sit down and I am not thirsty. I’m getting married. Mom, this is not just about sunny. The police also believe that he killed Abigail.

Justin told me that too, but he didn’t. He has an alibi. There’s a video that proves it, Mom. It’s, it’s, it’s fake. The timestamp was altered, The time stamp.

No. No. No, I’m afraid your daughter’s right. Clyde has multiple felonies out and we have a warrant for his arrest.

No.

Why in the hell would you go after Bell?

Because EJ blabbed her after I told him to keep his mouth shut. About what? Our history, What does that have to do with my wife? I’m trying to tell you, man, but tell me faster. I paint a visit to the management, whatnot. Made the excuse that I was there to talk business with ej.

How the hell would you get on the. It wasn’t very difficult. Well, you wasted you the time. You know, Welcome here. Not a very warm welcome for your old cell mate.

Got anything to drink? I didn’t trust your brother,

so I planted that bug in the house so I could keep some tabs on them. That’s a good thing I did. Because when I listened to Courtney, I found out he’d betrayed me. I pushed play and heard EJ talking to Bell. Everyone said that you were shot by a mugger in the park. You’re saying Clyde did it. He didn’t pull the trigger.

He lured me to the park, threatened me. When things became heated, his man shot me and then they left me there to. That ain’t all he told her. I confronted Clyde before he was being released about what I remembered. He said if I turned him in, it wouldn’t just be me. He would make pay. He would take it. My entire family, EJ assured me that what happened in the park would be our secret, but he’d lied.

But you can’t let Clyde get away with this. I’m not going. It may take some time for my plan to be put into action, but once it is, I’m going to guarantee that Clyde Austin will never be able to hurt me or anyone I love ever again. Your brother wanted to rub me out, but bail talked him out of it. Listen to me, ej.

I am not talking to you as your lawyer now. I am talking to you as someone who really cares about. Don’t be an idiot. You cannot take the law into your own hand. But make no mistake, she still had every intention of making me pay. I think you’re going down the wrong path, okay? And if you try to deal with Clyde on your own, things aren’t gonna work out well for you.

Or what do I do? Just get over the fact that Clyde shot me in the back. No, but you know, you could, Let me think about it and let me figure out a legal way to bring Clyde to justice. So I knew they were coming after me one way or another, so I decided to send EJ a message using Bell. Yeah, I knew she was living with EJ Dimension, so I decided to teach her lesson.

Bella was calm. Oh, thank God. No. Chad what? When he came by earlier, he said he came to pick something up. It was the gun. Are you sure? Maybe it wasn’t in there. I saw it yesterday when I put something in the safe. Chad definitely took it. Why isn’t it obvious? Chad just found out who really murdered his wife.

He’s going to handle Clyde himself. He’s going to kill him. My brother is going to kill Clyde. We need an AP B on Clyde Weston. He’s wanted for murder and attempted murder. Consider him extremely dangerous. He’s just kidding. True. It just can’t be true. Don’t, don’t you touch me. I’ll see if I can catch her.

I’ll come with you.

Now. I really am calling the police to say what? But my brother has a gun. He’s gonna use it to kill Clyde. We have to do something. I’m right. We do. We need to find Chad ourselves before it’s too late.

I’m still waiting to find out how you went from taking bell out to murdering my wife. When I got to the Manion that night,

there was no sign of Bell or your brother, so when you couldn’t find. He decided to murder my wife. That ain’t how it went down. Stop telling me what didn’t happen. It start telling me what did I wanna know how my wife died

and I wanna know everything.

Why’s been living in Nancy Wesley’s house, right? Maybe he’s gone back there. No, I told you they’re getting married today. Do you know where I, I think City hall? Nope. No, no, no. What? No, I’m going with you. No. Yes. But first I’m going to call Sean and tell him that we think that Clyde is at City Hall. I told you I don’t want put all the fully let finish.

Chad is not experienced with guns and Clyde. What happens if he gets the gun away from Chad and uses it on him? Are you ready to deal with that? Uh, alright. Go ahead and call the police, but do it from the car. Okay? Okay.

Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit. Really doing some tea. Have a stiff drink. Oh God. Nancy, I’m sorry. I know what Justin said upset you. It’s so clean, buddy. Justin was right. What? What are you talking about? Craig never showed up for the wedding, but the police did. They had a warrant for his arrest. He’s the one that stabs Sunny and what’s worse?

So much worse. Oh, honey, go on. Go on honey. They said that. Take your time buddy. They said that he killed advocate. Oh God. Oh my God. I suspected, but I didn’t wanna believe it. I’m so sorry. I’m trying so hard not to believe it now, but I kept saying to them the kind that I know he would never do such horrible things, but nothing I said changed their mind.

Well, Lindsey, they had to have proof. Yes. But I just kept right on arguing with them, and I just had this little voice inside of me saying to me, Are you arguing because you think you’re right? Or are you arguing because you’re terrified that you’re wrong? Bonnie? Honey. Honey. Oh.

Start talking. You don’t want to do this to yourself, son, shut up. I Tell me how you did it. I don’t think that hearing about it is gonna do you any good. I know it’s gonna be bad for me. They’re stalling. Yeah. I saw a freshly dog grave over there. Why don’t we try that on for size?

Sheila: What– what situation?

Deacon: You and me living here. Sheila, I don’t know how much longer this can continue.

Nikki: Sheila hurt so many people. In genoa city. In L.A. She was such an evil, destructive force.

Eric: “Was” being the operative word. She’s dead now. She can’t cause anyone else any harm.

Steffy: Thankfully. Though there’s not a day that goes by where I don’t thank god for finn or my family knowing that we were so close to losing him.

Nikki: I would like to meet finn sometime. He sounds like a remarkable man.

Steffy: He is. He’s really remarkable. Remarkable husband, father. He’s loving. He’s really compassionate.

Hope: And he’s great with kids too. They all adore him.

Nikki: It’s hard to believe a sociopath like sheila could give birth to someone so caring given who she is.

Eric: Was.

Nikki: Yes, was.

Eric: Yeah.

Nikki: Past tense.

Sheila: I… I don’t want to hear this.

Deacon: You asked me what was going on. I told you.

Sheila: If you are even suggesting–

Deacon: No, no, I know, I know, sheila. This is not what you want to hear, but with you hiding out here, one screwup and we’ll wind up back in prison. You’re not doing either of us any favors with this insane delusion you have. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Your dream.

Sheila: What dream?

Deacon: Do I look like I’ve got “dumbass” tattooed on my forehead? You know damn well what I’m talking about.

[ Laughter ]

Taylor: Hi, sweetheart.

Thomas: I wasn’t expecting you.

Taylor: I know. I was just on my way into the office, so I thought I’d stop by and see how everything was going.

Thomas: Oh, you’re checking up on me now too.

Taylor: Huh?

Thomas: Uh, I’m sorry. That wasn’t meant for you.

Taylor: Hmm. Who was it meant for?

[ Thomas sighing ]

Thomas: It was brooke.

Taylor: What did she do now?

Thomas: It doesn’t matter.

Taylor: Oh, it does. What did she want?

Thomas: What does she always want? To call me crazy again.

Brooke: Oh, wow, I needed that.

Ridge: Me too.

Brooke: What are you doing here? I thought you were having a meeting with nikki newman.

Ridge: Oh, uh, no, dad’s doing that one.

Brooke: Oh, okay.

Ridge: What about you? I thought you were gonna go see ronaldo.

Brooke: Yeah. Uh, I just pushed that back a bit.

Ridge: Okay.

Brooke: I wanted to go see thomas and talk to him about douglas.

Ridge: Brooke, why do you do these things?

Brooke: Please just hear me out. I’m not doing this to upset you. You know how much I love you. I just… I’m just worried about douglas being in thomas’ care. Sweet pillows of softness!

Nikki: Eric, you are a true artist. It’s gorgeous, and summer is just gonna be a knockout. The cut, the neckline. It’s just stunning.

Eric: Well, those were ridge’s ideas, but I did the– I did the length of the stitching.

Nikki: Oh, well, I love the stitching too. It’s very inspired.

Eric: Thank you.

Nikki: Thank you. Thank you, everybody. I know that you’ll be hearing the same thing from summer as well.

Steffy: Oh, it’s great. So, are you staying in L.A. For a few days, or are you gonna head back to genoa city right away?

Nikki: No, I’m heading back. I have one stop I need to make first.

Deacon: Sheila, please tell me that I’m finally getting through to you, that you’re really hearing me, that you understand that this– this crazy fantasy you have about reuniting with finn and hayes, it just can’t happen.

Sheila: I’m a mother and a grandmother, and no one is going to take that away from me, and you certainly are not taking that away from me.

Deacon: I– I know, and we’ll talk about it tonight, but I’ve got to get to work.

Sheila: Oh, yeah, if I need you, that– that’s right. You want– you do– you do that. You– you go to work, and you see people, and you see your daughter, and I’m– I’m just gonna keep staring at these same boring four walls that i have been looking at ever since I got here while my son and my grandson… forget it.

Deacon: Come on, sheila.

Sheila: What? I said forget it.

Deacon: How the hell did this become like a real marriage?

Taylor: So, brooke went after you because steffy wouldn’t let her talk to your father the other night?

Thomas: Yeah, and because I probably didn’t yell from across the room and be like, “hey, by the way, dad, brooke’s on the phone.”

Taylor: Wait, you knew about it? You were in on it? Honey, you’re just giving brooke reasons to attack you.

Thomas: I understand, but honestly, I think that brooke was just trying to tell me how little she thought of me, and she accused me of not being fit to be douglas’ parent.

Taylor: Wow, like she’s one to talk with her own parental track record.

Thomas: Yeah, I mean, I think it was the knife that’s kind of what set her off.

Taylor: A– a– a knife?

Thomas: Yeah, I was– I was peeling an apple with a knife. You know how you always do before you eat it?

Taylor: Yeah.

Thomas: Yeah, and I think that just triggered her, and, um, yeah, she accused me of being a danger to my own son. I mean, how insane is that?

Brooke: Look, I don’t like to feel this way about thomas. I don’T. I know he’s your son.

Ridge: Are you still concerned that he’s gonna do something?

Brooke: Yes, I am. And– and I’m also concerned that he hasn’t brought him back home.

Ridge: Back home? He had– thomas and hope share custody, and right now it’s thomas’ turn to spend some time with his son because he hasn’T. And he’s gonna be fine. He’s gonna be safe. What do you– what is that? What is that look? What do you know? Tell me.

Brooke: He had a knife. A knife around douglas. I mean, that worries me, ridge. Thomas scares me.

[ Sneezing ] Are you okay? to see nikki.

Hope: Yeah, she has a really good energy about her. Never mind. I’m just glad she liked the dress.

Steffy: Yeah, okay, well, since we have nothing else to really talk about, I’m gonna return some calls.

Hope: Actually, I would like to address the fact– actually, revisit the fact that you hung up on my mom and refused to let her speak to her husband.

Steffy: You’re not over that? I thought we moved on from this.

Hope: Uh, no, I– I wouldn’t say we have, especially given how it is affecting the families. I mean, look how divided we’ve become.

Steffy: I wouldn’t necessarily say that.

Hope: Really?

Steffy: No.

Hope: I’m currently trying to not, uh, have to start a custody war over douglas, and meanwhile you and taylor and thomas are trying to lure ridge away from my mom, so…

Steffy: Yeah, well, the clock’s ticking. My mom feels it. Thomas feels it. Sooner rather than later, brooke’s gonna do something, and my father’s not gonna be able to forgive her, and then my mother and my father, they’ll eventually find their way back to each other.

Hope: And isn’t that what you wanted all along, for my mother’s marriage to fail? It’s okay, you can stop pretending.

Steffy: I never pretended brooke was the woman I wanted for my dad. She is the last person I want for my father. I admit I tried not to interfere when my mom wasn’t here, but she’s back now. And my mother and my father, they’re reconnecting in such a beautiful way. So, yeah, I am rooting for my parents to get back together. And I’ll do whatever it takes to make that happen, hope.

Taylor: Who doesn’t peel an apple with a knife? It– it’s not like you left douglas alone with it or handed it to him and said, “hey, let’s play catch.”

Thomas: I know that, you know that, but brooke, she likes to put her own spin on things.

Taylor: You would never let anything happen to douglas. Brooke is just trying to make a fake fight like she always does.

Thomas: Well, that’s what she loves to do. She loves to paint me in the worst light possible. And why? Because she thinks I’m a terrible person. She– she can’t ever bring herself to believe that maybe I’ve changed.

Taylor: But you know that you have, and we know that you have. You put in so much work to turn your life around.

Thomas: Not according to brooke. Look, I made mistakes, and I’ve done things that I’m not proud of, but I think I’ve moved past that. And– and I made sure to tell brooke that if I am so messed up, it is her fault. Because she came in and she hurt you. She hurt dad, ripping him away from the family that he loves so much, and I’m not going to let that ever happen again. I will protect you and our family from her at all costs.

Brooke: I hate admitting it, ridge. I– I know how much you believe in thomas.

Ridge: But you don’T.

Brooke: I wish I could, for your sake, but I just don’t feel like douglas is safe around him.

Ridge: Come on, because of a knife? Really?

Brooke: Yes, because of a knife. That was very dangerous. And also the fact that he won’t bring douglas home to his mom, to hope. And also his troubled history. I mean, I will protect douglas no matter what. I would call child protective services on thomas if I had to.

Ridge: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Brooke: Yes, I would.

Ridge: Hang on one second. I know you’re upset, but this is my son you’re talking about. No one’s calling anybody. We’re gonna handle this as a family, and if you’re concerned about some knife, then I’ll go get it and get rid of it. I told you I would intervene if there was ever a problem, if i ever felt that– that– that– douglas was in danger. He’s my flesh and blood. I love that little kid, and so does thomas. There’s nothing to worry about.

Brooke: I want to believe you.

Ridge: Well, then do. Believe me. The kid is happy, and he’s safe. Okay?

[ Brooke sighing ] Ridge: Okay. Are you tired of clean clothes that just don’t smell clean?

Deacon: Enjoy.

Woman: Thank you.

Nikki: Let’s make this short and sweet.

Deacon: You came.

Nikki: You said you might have something that would help me with diane jenkins.

Deacon: What are you talking about? I’m kidding. I’ll be right back. I hope this does the trick.

Nikki: Me too. Thanks.

Deacon: Nikki, if there’s anything else I can do, just let me know, okay? I want you to know that, uh, you’re a class act. You always have been. You always will be. And I care about you, and I respect you a lot. And, nik, you do look good.

Taylor: Oh, I’m so glad you came by. It’s perfect timing. I’m– I’m in between clients.

Steffy: You seem a little agitated.

Taylor: I am agitated. I am. Um…

Steffy: What’s– what’s wrong?

Taylor: I talked to thomas. You’ll never believe what brooke is saying about your brother.

Steffy: Oh, no.

Ridge: I’m not sure we need the belt. What do you think? Thomas?

Thomas: Sorry. What?

Ridge: What’s going on?

[ Thomas clearing his throat ]

Thomas: You know what? I– I just got a lot on my mind.

Ridge: Stuff with brooke, you mean.

Thomas: Yeah. I’m guessing she talked to you about it.

Ridge: What happened?

[ Thomas sighing ] She’s– she’s never gonna believe me. Dad, she doesn’t believe that I’m a changed person at all. I mean, she saw me eating an apple with a knife, and she freaked out.

Ridge: She mentioned the knife, yes. Brooke’s concerned, and she, um, she said she’d, um–

Thomas: She said she’d what?

Ridge: She said she would call child services on you if she had to.

Thomas: What?

Hope: Mom, what is really going on?

Brooke: Honey, I know you want to believe that thomas has put all of his ugliness in the past and that he’s learned from his mistakes and he’s a better man, he’s a better father, but he’s not. I saw. I was there.

Hope: So, what did you see?

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: I went over to eric’s to tell thomas to please send douglas home.

Hope: Mom–

Brooke: Look, I know you don’t want me involved in this and you want to take care of it all yourself, but, honey, I am worried. I think that thomas is dangerous. He had a knife.

Hope: What?

Brooke: Yes. He had a very sharp knife. Douglas isn’t safe with thomas. He shouldn’t be in his care. I’m really worried about that little boy.

Interview with Scott Prendergast, Elizabeth Klaviter, Marcia Gay Harden, Skylar Astin, Madeline Wise, Tristen J. Winger, Inga Schlingmann and Rosa Arrendondo of “So Help Me Todd” on CBS by Suzanne 9/21/23

CBS 2022 TCA PRESS TOUR
“SO HELP ME TODD”
Scott Prendergast, Creator/Executive Producer; Elizabeth Klaviter, Showrunner/Executive Producer; and actors Marcia Gay Harden, Skylar Astin, Madeline Wise, Tristen J. Winger, Inga Schlingmann and Rosa Arrendondo
Virtual via Zoom September 21 2022
©2022 CBS All rights reserved.

Here were some introductory remarks about the show. First, from the moderator: The series is inspired by our creator and executive producer Scott show premieres Thursday, September 29th, at 9/8 Central on CBS and Paramount+.
Joining us today is the cast and executive producers of the series. Please welcome creator and executive producer Scott Prendergast, showrunner and executive producer Elizabeth Klaviter, stars Marcia Gay Harden, Skylar Astin, Madeline Wise, Tristen J. Winger, Inga Schlingmann, and Rosa Arredondo.

The second remarks were from the creator/EP Scott Prendergast: “I’m so happy to be here with my showrunner Elizabeth Klaviter and our six incredible cast members. Just a quick recap. This show is based on a true story. My mother’s husband did disappear and I helped her find him and that’s where we drew the inspiration for the show. So it’s very exciting to be here. The cast is incredible. And I’ll just quickly tell you that when I pitched the show, the first thing I said to CBS was if you took Alicia, the lawyer, from “The Good Wife” and Kalinda, the investigator, made them mother and son and had them do “Moonlighting,” that’s the show, and here we are a year and a half later.

This press panel was for the TV Critics Association. They give us a transcript of the interviews, but we’re not allowed to post them verbatim, and there’s no video or audio.

This is a fun new dramady starring Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden (whom you may remember from “Law and Order” and other shows) and Skylar Astin, who’s probably best known for playing Zoey’s love interest in “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist” (ZEP) I spoke with Marcia before, years ago, so I was very happy to get a chance to speak to Skylar because I really loved ZEP.
CBS/Paramount let us watch one episode before airing. It’s a quirky show, and those rarely do well on TV, but you never know. One of the more interesting things about it is that the idea for the story came from the show’s creator’s real life experiences.

With these large press panels, we’re lucky to get one question in, so I was ecstatic to ask him if he would be singing on this show. He not only starred in ZEP but was in the musical movie “Pitch Perfect.” He said that they had no plans to do that yet. He didn’t think his character, Todd, would be a very good singer.

The follow-up question to mine asked if filming the show was easier because there wasn’t choreography and everything, like on ZEP and Pitch Perfect. He felt very comfortable doing musicals, but this show has its own “specific rhythm,” so he treats it the same way. He was talking about the dialogue, which is “very rhythmic.”

“So Help Me Todd: A Quirky Blend of Comedy and Mystery Unveiled in CBS’ New Series”

In a recent Television Critics Association (TCA) panel, the creators, cast, and executive producers of CBS’ upcoming series “So Help Me Todd” gathered to share insights into this intriguing blend of comedy and mystery. The series, set to premiere on Thursday, September 29th, at 9/8 Central, promises to captivate viewers with its unique storyline and a cast that seamlessly mixes humor and drama.

Inspiration from Real Life

The show’s creator and executive producer, Scott Prendergast, kicked off the event by sharing the series’ origin story. He revealed that the inspiration for “So Help Me Todd” came from a real-life experience where his mother’s husband disappeared, and he played a pivotal role in helping her find him. This deeply personal narrative forms the foundation of the show’s premise.

Prendergast described the series as a blend of “The Good Wife,” “Moonlighting,” and classic CBS procedurals, with a strong focus on the unique mother-son dynamic at its core.

Balancing Comedy and Mystery

A recurring theme during the panel discussion was how the show successfully balances comedy and mystery. Skylar Astin, who plays the titular character Todd, explained that while the show has its comedic moments, it also explores deeper emotional aspects. Astin noted that Todd is a complex character, and he enjoys portraying the character’s messiness and vulnerability.

Executive producer Elizabeth Klaviter emphasized that the humor in the show is grounded in authentic character development. The cast’s performances and the witty scripts allow viewers to relate to the characters while enjoying the comedic elements.

A Cast of Characters

The cast of “So Help Me Todd” includes the talented Marcia Gay Harden, Skylar Astin, Madeline Wise, Tristen J. Winger, Inga Schlingmann, and Rosa Arredondo. Each actor brings their unique qualities to the series, contributing to the chemistry that makes the show stand out.

Finding Laughter in the Unusual

One of the standout aspects of the show is its willingness to embrace humor in unusual situations. Scott Prendergast shared a real-life anecdote where he pretended to be someone else to locate a missing person. This blend of absurdity and suspense is at the heart of “So Help Me Todd,” making it an engaging and entertaining watch.

Plans for the Future

When asked about the show’s future, Scott Prendergast revealed that they have ambitious plans for seven seasons. He believes that the evolving mother-son relationship and the characters’ growth will provide endless material for captivating storylines. The panelists expressed their excitement about exploring the family dynamics further, including relationships between siblings, colleagues, and adversaries.

A Quirky Family Saga Awaits

As the panel concluded, it was evident that “So Help Me Todd” promises to be a unique addition to CBS’ lineup, offering viewers a captivating blend of comedy and mystery while delving deep into the intricacies of family dynamics. With a strong cast and a commitment to maintaining the delicate balance between humor and drama, this series is poised to become a must-watch this fall.

Prepare to embark on a journey with the Todd family as they navigate life’s twists, turns, and absurdities, all while seeking answers to intriguing mysteries. Tune in on September 29th to catch the premiere of “So Help Me Todd” on CBS and Paramount+.

SO HELP ME TODD stars Academy Award winner Marcia Gay Harden and Skylar Astin as razor-sharp, meticulous attorney Margaret Wright (Harden) and Todd (Astin), her talented but scruffy, aimless son whom she hires as her law firm’s in-house investigator. As the black sheep of the well-heeled Wright family, Todd is a laidback, quick-thinking, excellent former private detective who fell on hard times after his flexible interpretation of the law got his license revoked. Margaret’s penchant for excellence and strict adherence to the law is at complete odds with Todd’s scrappy methods of finding his way through sticky situations: by the seat of his wrinkled pants. When Todd inadvertently teams with his mother on a case, she’s surprised to find herself duly impressed by – and proud of – his crafty ability to sleuth out information with his charm and his wide-ranging tech savvy. At last, Margaret sees a way to put her son on a “suitable” path to living an adult, financially solvent life she approves of, and she asks him to join her firm. Todd agrees, since it means getting his license back and once again doing the job he excels at and loves. Mother and son working together is a big first step toward mending their fragile, dysfunctional relationship, and they may even come away with a better understanding of each other at this pivotal point in their lives. But whether Todd and Margaret will be able to accept each other for who they are is another case entirely.

Born and raised in South-Central Los Angeles, Winger discovered his love for acting at a young age.

While working at the Apple store he landed one of his first big jobs on “Insecure,” and he has been booking film and television projects ever since.

Winger is also an advocate for shining a light on the stigma around mental health and lack of adequate mental health resources for Black men, as he has been on a personal journey through therapy and building deeper, meaningful relationships with others, and himself. For years, Winger has championed the Amazing Grace Conservatory where he got his start, supporting emerging artists and at-risk youth in the performing and digital arts by offering a well-rounded and culturally enriching educational program in an environment that is nurturing for their personal, artistic and professional growth.

  • Lifetime The Gabby Petito Story- Saturday, 10/1/22 at 8:00 PMShow More
    Movie. Preview With October marking the start of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, The Gabby Petito Story is set to premiere on Saturday, October 1 at 8/7c on Lifetime and star Skyler Samuels (Nine Lives of Chloe King, Scream Queens) as Gabby Petito and Evan Hall (Orange is the New Black, Mars) as Brian Laundrie. Timed to the one-year disappearance of Gabby Petito, the movie is part of Lifetime’s Stop Violence Against Women public affairs initiative. As a trusted destination for women, Lifetime created a new PSA to debut as part of the movie’s roll out, driving to the important work of the network’s partner, the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and their helpline to provide resources for women. The documentary special, Beyond the Headlines: Gabby Petito will air following the movie at 10/9c for a more in-depth look at the true story. The Gabby Petito Story explores Gabby and her fiancé Brian Laundrie’s complicated relationship and what may have gone wrong during their cross-country trip that resulted in Gabby’s tragic murder. The disappearance of Gabby Petito captured America’s attention, setting off a nationwide search for the 22-year-old travel blogger after her parents reported her missing in September 2021, when she failed to return home following her cross country “van-life” trip with her fiancé Brian Laundrie. Non-stop coverage on the news drove amateur sleuths to dissect Gabby’s social media posts for clues about what happened to her during her trip, leading to the eventual discovery of her body in Wyoming. As the one-year anniversary of her tragic death approaches, the movie will bring to life Gabby and Brian’s doomed love story, including the warning signs that Gabby’s life was in danger, the ensuing search for her, the eventual discovery of her murder and ultimately, Brian’s suicide.

  • NBC Saturday Night Live- Saturday, Oct 1Show More
    Miles Teller is guest host; Kendrick Lamar is the musical guest. Season 48 of Saturday Night Live is set to premiere on Oct. 1, and showrunner Lorne Michaels has yet to disappoint with his choice of show hosts and musical guests. To kick off this season, Top Gun: Maverick actor Miles Teller, 35, is set to host with Kendrick Lamar as the musical guest. “It’s really exciting. You’re working with the absolute best of the best, so you feel well taken care of, but it is, it’s a lot. It’s a whirlwind,” Miles told NBC4 ahead of his big debut.
    SNL will welcome Miles for the first time to the show. The Divergent alum has had a full plate recently and wrapped up promotion for Top Gun: Maverick in the spring. Miles is also no stranger to the world of comedy, as he worked with the hilarious actor Jonah Hill on the movie War Dogs in 2016. Some of his other projects include Whiplash, Spiderhead, Project X, and more.
    Grammy-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar, 35, is set to to return to SNL on Oct. 1, his fifth time overall as the show’s musical guest. Kendrick released his latest album, Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers, on May 13 and is currently on tour.
    The regular cast members for “SNL” Season 48 are, in credits order: Michael Che, Mikey Day, Chloe Fineman, Heidi Gardner, Colin Jost, Ego Nwodim, Cecily Strong, Kenan Thompson and Bowen Yang. The featured players are: Andrew Dismukes, Marcello Hernandez, James Austin Johnson, Punkie Johnson, Molly Kearney, Michael Longfellow, Sarah Sherman and Devon Walker.
    Showrunner Lorne Michaels has called this season a “transition year,” thanks in part to the show going through a major cast overhaul. A whopping eight stars left over the summer: Aidy Bryant, Pete Davidson, Kate McKinnon, Kyle Mooney, Alex Moffat, Melissa Villaseñor, Aristotle Athari and Chris Redd. Many of them wanted to depart earlier but stuck around because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
    “Saturday Night Live’s” Weekend Update is once again anchored by Jost and Che, as they’ve done every week together since September 2014. As of last year’s 47th season, they are officially the longest-serving duo in the history of Weekend Update.
    At the recent 2022 Emmy Awards, the variety series won its 93rd trophy overall, making it the winningest program in the history of the Television Academy. For comparison’s sake, the next closest show in second place is “Game of Thrones” with 59 Emmys. (Info from hollywoodlife.com and goldderby.com)

    The evening will be split into three chronological acts, each exploring a different period of Elvis’ career: from his early days in rock ‘n’ roll, through his Hollywood era on the big screen, and ending with his triumph in Vegas.
    “I do know Elvis,” Jordin Sparks said. “I’m not like falling over backwards for Elvis, but I respect him. I respect his musicality. I respect the king and everything that he has done for music and I’m just going to attack.”
    Jordin Sparks
    And Joseph Baena said, “Elvis was just so revolutionary in what he did. How they depicted him in the movie was fantastic. I’m just really appreciative of how he really stepped out of the boundaries and did what he wanted to do, even though his manager and everyone around him really didn’t want him to speak out to break those boundaries. So that’s why he’s a big role model, rest in peace. One of my favorite songs is ‘Devil in Disguise,’ but we’re not dancing to that.”
    But before the celebs take to the ballroom floor, the pros will kick off Elvis Night with a high-energy performance to “Also Sprach Zarathustra”/“Don’t Be Cruel” choreographed by Jemel McWilliams. More

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Nicole works at the Basic Black office as Jada arrives and says she knows it’s Eric’s first day but they must have mixed up each others’ phones as she has his. Nicole then asks if they woke up in bed together this morning.

Brady joins Chloe in her hotel room at the Salem Inn and happily announces that he has full custody of Rachel. Chloe tells him that she’s so happy for him as they hug. Brady admits he’s surprised that the judge ruled in his favor after everything Kristen dredged up. Chloe then reveals that knows how it happened.

Rafe brings Craig to the interrogation room and asks when he got back in town. Craig says it was just last night. Rafe then asks when he last saw Leo. Craig says other than just now, it probably would’ve been the morning after their aborted wedding. Rafe questions if Craig left town right after that. Craig confirms he went right back to New York and wanted to cut ties. Rafe then asks where Craig was on September 1 as that was the night that Sonny Kiriakis was stabbed.

Nancy tells Chad that it’s odd because Craig never wore aftershave or cologne during their marriage. Chad suggests he started wearing it after they split up. Nancy says that would be a coincidence because vanilla is what Clyde wears. Nancy says at first she thought it was feminine, but now she kind of likes it. Chad then thinks back to Craig hugging him and remembers that Clyde was standing nearby. Chad comes to a realization, so Nancy asks what’s wrong.

Clyde fills out his drug test paperwork at the hospital. Clyde then gets up and looks in the window of Sonny’s hospital room. Clyde then flashes back to being the one who stabbed Sonny! Will then approaches Clyde.

Chloe informs Brady that she happened to run in to the judge outside in the hallway and told her that she knew they couldn’t use Kristen’s previous crimes against her but that she had evidence of Kristen attacking her with the letter opener as she had the surveillance video from their office, so she assumes the judge watched it. Brady questions why she didn’t tell him earlier. Chloe worried that if Kristen found out she was the reason that she lost the case, she would use it against her and Brady with Rachel. Brady questions the judge being okay with this. Chloe admits she was weary but she sensed she was frustrated with the whole situation. Chloe adds that because of Kristen’s pardon, she couldn’t consider all the facts so she felt this untied the judge’s hands to make the ruling she wanted to make. Chloe knew it was risky but says she couldn’t stand by and watch Brady lose custody of Rachel to Kristen, so she’s not sorry for what she did. Brady tells her that she doesn’t have to be sorry for anything and declares that because of her, he will never lose his little girl. Brady tells Chloe how much he adores her as they kiss.

Jada remarks on Nicole not being very transparent. Nicole questions if she offended her. Jada questions Nicole asking if their phone mix up happened while they were in bed together. Nicole feels it’s a reasonable assumption. Jada says they don’t keep their phones in the bed. Nicole says she just pictured them waking up together. Jada feels Nicole is bothered by the fact that she is seeing her ex-husband. Jada brings up that Nicole is a newlywed and married to a great guy. Nicole claims she’s not bothered but just protective and she hopes they are right for each other. Jada mocks the idea of that making Nicole happy. Jada tells Nicole to be honest that she’s not rooting for them to be happy and that she’s hoping they fall apart. Nicole calls that not true but admits she overstepped by commenting on them waking up in bed together as whatever they do behind closed doors is none of her business. Nicole repeats that she already knew they were sleeping together. Jada brings up that Rafe mentioned Nicole came by to offer Eric a job. Nicole thought they would have more interesting things to talk about at the police station. Jada says this is interesting since the day after Nicole’s visit, Eric was just talking about looking for a photography job and how scarce the jobs are. Nicole says Eric was perfect for this job and they happened to have an opening. Jada questions why Eric didn’t mention this job since that’s what she told Rafe. Nicole questions if Jada is calling her a liar.

Craig asks Rafe if he’s asking him if he stabbed Sonny Kiriakis. Rafe responds that he’s just gathering information. Craig mentions just visiting Leo and he was going on and on about how he must have wanted payback for him breaking his heart and kept saying this accusation over and over. Rafe admits he’s aware of the accusation. Craig calls it the raving of a desperate man. Craig says Leo is accusing him of stabbing Sonny and murdering Abigail. Craig argues that Rafe can’t actually believe that he would be so blinded by hatred for Leo that he would take an innocent woman’s life and forget his oath to do no harm. Craig questions if Rafe actually believes Leo.

Will asks what Clyde is doing at the hospital. Clyde responds that he just got called in for a random drug test as part of his parole, joking that Will should know about that since he’s an ex-con. Clyde knows Will got his conviction overturned but he did serve time. Will remembers Clyde trying to shiv him in prison but then Ben tried to stop him and got the shiv instead. Clyde talks about Ben turning in to a stand up guy and now he’s trying to turn his life around as well. Clyde says he’s a changed guy. Clyde mentions that he and Nancy are about to get married, so Will congratulates him. Clyde tells Will to take care of Sonny and remarks that he’s really glad to hear they caught the guy that attacked him as it must be a real relief knowing that scum like that is off the street now. Clyde then exits the hospital.

Nancy asks Chad what it is. Chad remembers Clyde standing there when he saw Craig, so it must have been his cologne he was smelling. Chad asks where Clyde is now. Nancy informs him that Clyde is at the hospital taking his drug test and encourages Chad to get some of that cologne. Nancy asks Chad if he’s sure he’s alright since he’s as pale as a ghost. Chad claims he’s fine and says he just has to be somewhere, so he rushes off.

Jada tells Nicole that she never accused her of lying. Nicole feels she’s certainly insinuating it. Jada decides to just leave Eric’s phone and go but Nicole says not until she lets her explain. Nicole questions why she would lie to her husband about offering Eric a job if she hadn’t. Jada suggests maybe Nicole came to see Eric for another reason, but says she didn’t come to argue with her. Jada feels they are in a competition for Eric’s love and affection, even though Nicole is divorced and married to another man. Nicole argues that she’s not competing with her and repeats that she and Eric have a long history as friends. Jada understands that she’s protective of Eric, but she doesn’t get her being so protective of their relationship as if she’s not good for him or like he needs protection from her. Eric then arrives and asks what’s going on.

Craig tells Rafe that he did not stab Sonny or murder Abigail and he’s not a homicidal maniac. Craig adds that he wasn’t even in town when the attacks occurred. Craig says the fact that Rafe is listening to Leo is an insult and an outrage. Rafe asks if Craig would be able to provide an alibi. Craig confirms he would. Rafe says he’ll need one for September 1 and June 10 as well. Craig argues that he doesn’t know what he was doing three months ago. Craig says he’s often on call but doesn’t know where he is day to day. Rafe notes that could be a problem for him. Craig decides he will have his secretary check his schedule and get back to him. Rafe says the sooner, the better as Craig then exits the room.

Brady tells Chloe that he doesn’t have to pick Rachel up for about an hour and suggests they make their celebration official. They continue kissing until Nancy knocks on the door and interrupts. Chloe answers the door, so Nancy comes in and announces that she and Clyde are getting married today.

Chad goes to the hospital and asks Will how Sonny is. Will says he’s sleeping after having Alex visit earlier. Chad asks if he’s seen Clyde around anywhere. Will confirms that he just saw him here actually. Chad questions if he went in to Sonny’s room. Will says not that he saw but he was standing at the window and that he was here for a drug test. Will asks why and what’s going on. Chad reveals that he doesn’t think Leo hurt anyone and that it’s been Clyde this whole time. Will questions where this is coming from. Chad reminds Will of how they tried to help Sonny remember what happened and he said he smelled vanilla. Chad talks about smelling vanilla and at first, he thought it was Craig but then Nancy said that Clyde wears a vanilla cologne. Chad declares that it is Clyde.

Chloe is shocked that Nancy is marrying Clyde today and asks when this happened. Nancy responds that it was Clyde’s idea so they are going to get married at City Hall in an hour. Chloe questions why she is rushing in to this and argues there’s no reason to get married today. Nancy argues there’s no reason not to. Nancy declares that Clyde is the man that she wants to spend the rest of her life with, so she asks why not make it official as soon as possible. Nancy reveals that she’s here because she’d like for them to be their witnesses. Chloe asks if they can talk about it for a minute. Nancy says no because Craig will be there any minute which Chloe questions. Nancy explains that she asked Craig to come because she wants both of them to be a part of her wedding. Craig then arrives. Nancy hopes Craig is free to come to the wedding. Craig responds that he’s not sure. Chloe argues that even Craig thinks she’s rushing in to this. Craig clarifies that it’s not that but he’s not in a celebratory mood because he just got accused of murder.

Will and Chad go to Sonny’s hospital room and wake him up. Sonny asks what’s going on. Will informs him that Chad believes something that might prove who his attacker was. Sonny asks if it wasn’t Leo. Chad confirms he doesn’t think so. Will knows Sonny’s memory is hazy but they want to try to jog his memory again. Chad asks if Sonny remembers seeing Clyde Weston when he was attacked.

Eric calls it a surprise to see Jada. Jada explains that she thinks he has her phone. Eric checks and confirms that he does, noting that he didn’t even notice. Jada guesses it must be a slow crime day or else he would have gotten a barrage of text messages. Jada says she better get back to the office and tells Eric that she’ll see him at home. Jada kisses Eric and exits. Nicole asks Eric if he’s all set for the photo shoot downstairs. Eric questions if it’s just him or if things were very tense between Nicole and Jada. Eric asks if there’s something going on between them. Nicole admits there was some tension between them, so Eric asks why. Nicole admits that it’s because she lied to her husband and Jada called her out on it. Eric questions why she lied to Rafe. Nicole explains that she hadn’t told Rafe that she came to see Eric, so when he asked her why she did, she didn’t want to tell her current husband that she was dreaming about her ex-husband, so she told him that she offered him a job. Nicole adds that she felt bad about lying to Rafe, so she raced over to Eric’s place to offer him a job for real. Eric questions Nicole offering him a job to make her lie the truth which she admits to. Eric then declares that he quits.

Jada goes to the police station and apologizes to Rafe for being late as she had to run over to Basic Black to see Eric since they accidentally switched phones. Rafe asks how Eric’s first day there is going. Jada says so far, so good. Rafe is glad things are working out for him. Jada says she didn’t stay too long as she wanted to get to work and asks if there’s any update on the case. Rafe says there might be and brings up Jada having run ins with Melinda Trask. Jada notes that Melinda seems like a very tenacious prosecutor. Rafe worries that she’s too tenacious, especially if the suspect is innocent. Jada questions who they think is innocent. Rafe reveals it’s Leo Stark which shocks Jada.

Chloe questions Craig about Leo accusing him of framing him and calls that absurd. Nancy agrees that it’s totally ridiculous since Craig is an upstanding citizen and a doctor, so he wouldn’t hurt anyone much less kill anyone. Craig comments on Rafe buying in to Leo’s story. Brady argues that Rafe must know better than to believe anything Leo says. Craig says that Rafe questioned the hell out of him. Nancy repeats that it’s ridiculous, remarking that Craig is no more guilty than Clyde is since he was accused of killing Abigail too but he had an alibi, so he was innocent. Nancy declares that Craig and Clyde have both been unfairly accused.

Chad tells Sonny that Clyde wears a cologne that smells like vanilla, so he asks Sonny again if he remembers seeing Clyde that night. Sonny says he’s trying but there’s nothing. Sonny wishes he could see anyone but there’s nothing happening. Will continues to encourage him to take his time and try again. Sonny recalls being at the filing cabinet and hearing someone coming. Sonny says he started to turn. Will and Chad ask if he remembers something.

Nicole questions why Eric is quitting when he just started. Eric responds that Nicole just admitted that the job offer wasn’t legitimate and he’s not going to take the job just to ease her guilt because she chose to lie to her husband. Eric says he’s going to pack his things but Nicole stops him and asks him to listen. Nicole admits that initially she may have offered him the job to ease her guilt but they do really need him because there has been a lot of staff turnover thanks to Kristen. Nicole insists that they do need a photographer who she can trust and he’s definitely qualified. Nicole says as strange as her offer may have been, she still wants him here if he wants to work here. Eric admits that he does want to work here on the condition that she will be upfront with Rafe about them working together from now on, because the last thing he wants is to cause any trouble between her and her husband.

Jada questions Rafe thinking Leo Stark is innocent. Rafe clarifies that he said he might be, but as time goes on, the more he thinks so. Jada brings up all the evidence. Rafe says it’s hardly an ironclad case and there’s a possibility that Leo is being framed, but when Melinda settles on a suspect, she will try and push the whole case through without looking back. Jada asks what Rafe has in mind. Rafe wants Jada to look at all the evidence they have since she’s a fresh pair of eyes and might see something that he missed. Jada asks if he thinks there’s anything to Leo’s accusation of Craig Wesley and if Rafe is leaning in that direction. Rafe admits he’s not sure but he’s hesitant to lean in any direction without giving it a lot more thought. Rafe says he is going to check on Craig’s alibi while he wants Jada to go through all of the evidence to see if there’s any evidence that someone other than Leo committed these crimes.

Chad urges Sonny to remember if he saw anything. Sonny remembers seeing the reflection in the glass painting when he started to turn and confirms it was definitely Clyde Weston. Sonny questions why Clyde would do this to him. Chad declares that it’s not just Sonny since the knife he stabbed him with was the same knife used on Abigail which means Clyde murdered his wife.

Clyde gets dressed for his wedding and walks through the town square. While sticking the rose to his suit jacket, Clyde accidentally cuts his finger.

Nancy argues that it seems like the Salem police have accused everyone except the guilty party. Nancy is sure this will all go away as soon as Craig provides Rafe with his alibis. Craig hopes she’s right. Nancy assures that she is and then all of this will be over, but today is about her so she asks if they can just celebrate. Craig insists that he wants her to be happy. Nancy thanks him and says she really wants him there because they are still family. Nancy asks if there’s any way Craig can put aside all his worries to celebrate today with her. Craig agrees to come and be there for her. Nancy thanks him and decides she has to go get dressed so she’s not late for her own wedding. Nancy then exits the room.

Chad complains that they had Clyde in custody but they let him go. Will and Sonny bring up Clyde having an alibi that he was fishing on the docks and there was surveillance footage to prove that. Sonny is certain that he saw Clyde’s reflection, so he questions how that could be.

Rafe checks back with Jada at the station. Jada informs him that she might have something as she went back over Clyde’s statement about Leo selling him Abigail’s jewelry and it mentions his alibi. Jada says since she wasn’t there at the time, she decided to watch the footage herself of Clyde fishing on the docks at the time of Abigail’s murder. Jada reveals that there is a problem with it.

Chad asks Will if Clyde said where he was going after his drug test. Will confirms that Clyde said he was going to City Hall to marry Nancy today. Sonny questions what Chad is going to do. Chad responds that he’s going to the police to tell them what they learned and where they can find Clyde. Chad then exits the room.

Nicole tells Eric that she will be honest with Rafe in the future and admits she never should’ve lied to him in the first place. Eric questions why she did then and why she would lie about something as silly as having a dream about him cooking sloppy Joe’s. Nicole then admits that she lied to Eric too as she didn’t dream about that. Nicole reveals the dream she had about them was a sex dream which Eric questions. Nicole insists it didn’t mean anything and was just a dream. Eric then admits he lied too about the dream he told her that he had about her and that it was a sex dream about her too. Eric repeats that it was just a dream which Nicole agrees with. Eric decides he will see her downstairs and exits the office.

Craig tells Brady and Chloe that he is going to get ready for the wedding and will see them downstairs. Chloe stops Craig and argues that he can’t honestly think this wedding is a good idea. Craig responds that he just wants Nancy to be happy. Brady feels that’s a longshot with Clyde Weston while Chloe worries that it’s a disaster waiting to happen. Chloe asks Craig to help her stop this wedding.

Nancy comes out of the Salem Inn and runs in to Clyde. Nancy worries that they aren’t supposed to see each other before the wedding. Clyde reminds her that she had already seen him today so they can throw that tradition out the window. Clyde declares they are not going to have any bad luck. Clyde informs her that he passed his drug test and nothing is going to stop them from being husband and wife and sharing a wonderful life together.

Jada and Rafe go over the footage of Clyde fishing on the docks. Jada reveals that she went frame by frame and that the timestamp was off, which means Clyde did not have an alibi for the time of the murder.

Will asks Sonny what’s wrong. Sonny responds that Clyde Weston is still out there and worries about him coming back to finish him off. Will says if Clyde was trying to frame Leo, it wouldn’t make sense for him to go after him while Leo is still locked up. Will assures that Sonny is safe here and he won’t let anything happen to him. Sonny points out that it’s not just about him and it could mean that Clyde really killed Abigail. Will bets Chad is doing his best to convince the cops of that now.

Chad goes to the DiMera Mansion and removes a gun from the safe.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

 

Phyllis: Party for the bride and groom without the mother of the bride. She’s here.

Summer: Mom, please, just let us explain.

Phyllis: And — and he’s here.

[ Breathes deeply ] Is this why you ran out of the coffeehouse so quickly? You just needed to ditch me to get to the party?

Summer: No, kyle and I had no idea that this is what noah was planning.

Noah: We never planned on excluding you from any of this. You were always going to be invited.

Phyllis: Yeah, just, um — it’s fine. Just — just second on the list. That’s all.

Noah: We never thought about first or second. We didn’t think that it mattered, okay? It’s supposed to be a happy celebration for kyle and summer. As the host, I take full responsibility for messing this up. Can you forgive me?

Nate: [ Sighs ] Hey there.

Elena: Hey. What’s all this?

Nate: Just some drinks before dinner. I have a pot of bolognese simmering in the kitchen.

Elena: Okay.

Nate: Do you want to take a hot shower before dinner? Or I can bring out our appetizers. It’s burrata with heirloom tomatoes.

Elena: That sounds delicious, and this place looks amazing, but if this is your attempt at trying to get me to forget about your plan for corporate espionage against your own family, or trying to convince me to jump on board, it’s going to take a lot more than champagne and flowers.

Lily: I cannot tell you how happy I am that everything worked out with nate.

Billy: I am, too. I think it’s great, and I’m a little surprised he showed up hat in hand with an apology, as well.

Lily: I mean, that took a lot for him to swallow his pride like that, admitting that he overstepped.

Billy: And you met him halfway. I think we appreciate the two of you reaching an understanding.

Devon: Yeah, no, I’m happy that we did, too, ’cause I meant what I said, that I wanted to put this conflict behind us ’cause this constant back and forth isn’t good for us or the company. And I also agree with your suggestion to give him more opportunities to prove that his ideas will work.

Lily: Yeah, I mean, it’s the only way to move forward.

Billy: Yeah, see his ideas in action instead of in a pitch deck.

Devon: And then we will see if the ideas actually do work.

Billy: You’re not saying you’re setting him up for failure, are you?

Victor: By the way, I heard from your mother. Apparently, she met with this deacon sharpe character.

Victoria: Thank you. How did it go?

Victor: Well, she didn’t elaborate, but she hinted that she learned some details about diana jenkins’ life in los angeles.

Victoria: Well, all I know is that I’ll feel a lot better when mom’s home and there were thousands of miles between her and deacon sharpe.

Victor: Yeah.

Victoria: In the meantime, can I run something business-related past you?

Victor: Sure. Go ahead.

Victoria: I’d like newman to become the majority shareholder of chancellor-winters.

[Sfx: Stomach gurgling]

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Devon: Yeah, no, billy, I would never intentionally set somebody up to fail, especially at my own company. I’m just — I’m agreeing to do what everyone’s urged me to do, and that’s let nate run with some of his ideas despite my reservations and see if they’ll work.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Lily: Is there a problem?

Billy: No, it’s chelsea. She wants to meet for a drink to talk about something, but I’ll just — I can tell her I’m in the middle of something.

Lily: No, it’s fine. Honestly, you should just go. She might have rethought the idea of doing the podcast solo, and I think we need all the content that we can get. We should be firing on all cylinders if and when we go public. So I’ll meet you at home. We have everything under control here.

Billy: Okay. I will do that and I will talk to chelsea and it’ll give you time to talk about going public face-to-face. See you later.

Devon: Ooh.

Lily: Should we do what he suggested?

Devon: I am a little talked out on the subject.

Lily: Yeah, I’m sure. I know we’ve been so focused on chancellor-winters that we haven’t gotten to talk about anything personal. How is amanda doing? I heard that naya’s husband collapsed from exhaustion? Is he okay?

Devon: Yeah, yeah, he’s doing better, but just created a whole lot of stress for amanda. I’m supposed to fly out and spend some time with her this weekend. But I wish there was more that I could do to support her and the family. I feel like I’ve been neglecting her a lot lately. Which is another reason why all this unnecessary back-and-forth energy with nate has gotten to me ’cause I should be and I could be focused on amanda.

Nate: You’ll be happy to know I had a very good conversation with devon and lily today. It was very healing. I made amends with my family, and I’m going to stay on at chancellor-winters.

Elena: Okay. Well, that’s a 180. How exactly did that happen?

Nate: I admitted that I let my anger and pride get in the way of the big picture.

Elena: Uh-huh. But you did that with an agenda in mind, didn’t you? Because staying on with the company is part of your plan. Are you still working with victoria as her man on the inside, or have you rethought that?

Nate: I’m still going ahead with my original idea, but I hope you can believe that this will ultimately be the best move for everyone involved as well as for chancellor-winters. I’m going to use this public offering and victoria’s purchase of the majority stake to unify my family.

Elena: You’re going to have to explain that.

Nick: Phyllis, tell my boy you forgive him.

Phyllis: [ Scoffs ] I forgive you.

Mariah: Okay, everybody, who’s ready to dance?

Phyllis: I’m not. I’m not ready to dance.

Mariah: Nick. Nick, come on. I always count on you to — to bust a move.

Nick: No, let me go check on summer.

Mariah: Okay. [ Chuckles ]

Jack: The place looks great,

Allie: Doesn’t it? Champagne, anyone?

Diane: The decor is amazing. Everything fits. Except for one thing that’s sticking out like a sore thumb.

Kyle: Mom.

Diane: I’m sorry, but it’s hard not to notice her big, pouty face. It’s like she’s about to throw a tantrum.

Traci: Maybe we will all behave ourselves today.

Summer: Dad, I just don’t know what to do anymore. Will you please go talk to her?

Nick: Yeah.

Summer: Thank you.

Nick: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: [ Sniffles ]

Nick: Can I talk to you for a minute? Look, I get it. The last person you want to see right now is diane. I don’t blame you.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] I’m spinning out. I lost my job at marchetti because of her. A job that I loved. I got to work with our daughter.

Nick: What happened?

Phyllis: She happened. She lost her mind, and I got punished for it.

Nick: Alright, I need you to just take a breath for a minute. I need you to leave it alone for tonight, okay? It’s about them. Noah put in all this work. Kyle and summer deserve to enjoy their party. Phyllis, come on. Don’t ruin that. Life… doesn’t stop for diabetes.

Victoria: It seems that nate is frustrated with the current leadership style at chancellor-winters. So he came to me and told me that he’s looking for a change. He was fishing around for opportunities at newman. I told him I would keep him in mind now that we’ve made all of these new acquisitions.

Victor: Huh. Well, he would be good to have on the team. But why in the world would he give up so easily on his family business?

Victoria: He’s not giving up. In fact, nate told me that chancellor-winters is planning to go public soon. He offered himself as my inside man, that he would feed me information and that he would sell his shares to newman so that we could have the majority stake.

Victor: And why would he do that?

Victoria: Because I agreed to put him in charge once newman has control.

Victor: I think he’s playing a very risky game, you know. What if the situation at chancellor-winters implodes and they go after nate? You said something earlier about him being willing to give you some inside information. You know what that means, don’t you? That’s called insider trading. That can have enormous legal ramifications.

Victoria: But when do we ever shy away from a risk?

Victor: You’re tough, like your father. I love it. So let’s do it.

Chelsea: Hi.

Billy: Hey.

Chelsea: Thanks for coming to meet me.

Billy: Yeah, of course. I was in lily’s office when I got your text. She encouraged me to come. We’re both hoping that you are reconsidering doing the podcast solo.

Chelsea: You don’t need to name-check lily to make it clear you’re only here about work. I promise not to misread the situation, make you the target of any unwanted displays of affection.

Billy: Fair enough.

Chelsea: But I should apologize if I lured you here under false hope. I still don’t have any interest in doing the podcast by myself.

Billy: [ Clicks tongue ] Okay. What would you like to talk about?

Chelsea: Well, I wanted to thank you for letting me spend time with johnny at the pool the other day. Connor had a blast.

Billy: Yeah, no, it was great. They had a great time. I mean, they’re cousins, right? They get along really well. It was really nice to see johnny talking about video games with someone besides katie. She doesn’t really put up with him. She kind of covers her ears and runs away.

Chelsea: Connor would be glad to go toe-to-toe with him any day. Um…

[ Sighs ] I don’t want to mince words.

Billy: Mm-hmm.

Chelsea: The hangout the other day was such a success, I think it’s time we told johnny and connor they’re more than just cousins.

Kyle: You think you made some headway with your mom?

Summer: [ Sighs ] I don’t know. But, honestly, right now, I would like nothing more than to just forget about our mothers and enjoy this night.

Phyllis: Hey, everyone, everyone, I want to make a toast. As the mother of the bride….

Diane: Ugh, here we go.

Phyllis: …I’d like to make a toast. So I want everyone to know that diane and i are perfectly capable of being in the same room together. Isn’t that right, diane?

Diane: Oh, of course.

Phyllis: Cheers.

Diane: Yeah, cheers.

Phyllis: Cheers. And this is an incredible party, noah, this is beautiful, what you’ve done. I wish I still owned the grand phoenix. I really do. I mean, this place will be a huge hit.

Noah: Thank you.

Phyllis: Yeah, and I —

[ Sighs ] I want to thank you for including me in this party. So let’s toast to one of the best couples I know, my daughter, summer, and kyle. Cheers.

Jack: Summer and kyle.

Together: Cheers.

Phyllis: Yeah. Hey, let’s party. Okay?

Noah: Yeah.

Charli xcx: ‘Cause you’re everything I’ve spent my whole life fightin’

so when I walk away, it’s not your fault

I always let the good ones go

and, baby, you couldn’t

Nate: I know when i originally defended this idea to you, some of my bitterness and anger with devon came through.

Elena: Some of it, nate? All of it did. And you couldn’t hide it, which is what was so concerning. Coming at anything with that much heightened emotion, it can cause a lot of damage.

Nate: I promise you, I’m not being driven by revenge. What’s fueling me is my desire to prove what chancellor-winters can become under my leadership.

Elena: Don’t you think devon and lily will feel blindsided?

Nate: Yes, at first. But I plan to be the opposite of what devon was as a leader. I am willing to embrace his input as well as lily and billy’s, too, to show how all four of us can collaborate and to create something amazing.

Find nutrients.

Find energy.

Lily: Well, if it makes you feel any better, I know that amanda can feel your love and support, and she’ll really appreciate you visiting.

Devon: Yeah, I hope so. And it will be nice to have some one-on-one time without the pressures of work, you know?

Lily: So, listen, I think that we should talk about taking the company public, because I want you to be as excited as I am of the opportunities that this could afford us, you know, and the kind of things that we could bring to fruition.

Devon: Yeah, I know that you want me to be as excited as you are, and I wish that I was ’cause you made a great pitch, and I know that jill certainly thinks that it’s the right thing to do, but I still have a lot of concerns about it. And the biggest concern is losing control of our family business that neil and I worked very hard to build and then strengthened by joining up with you.

Lily: Yeah, look, I agree with you. I have the same concern. But, you know, we’ve identified the potential problem, and I think that we can structure the ipo in a way where we maintain 51% of the shares. So that way we have the final say on everything.

Devon: Well, let me tell you, that would be the only way that I would agree is if it was for sure that no one could override our decisions. You know?

Lily: See, this is why you and I make a great team, right? We can have opposing points of view, but then we can have a consensus. So do we have one?

Devon: Because I trust you so much, and I know that you just want to see this company succeed as much as I do, if you really think this is the best course of action, then, yeah, I’m on board.

Lily: Yes.

[ Both chuckle ]

Nate: I really need you with me on this. Your support, your love, to know that you understand where I’m coming from and why.

Elena: I want to believe in you, and I want to believe that this can work. I can feel how passionate you are about it and I understand that you think this is the right thing to do and I’m your partner. I want to be able to support you.

Nate: Okay, can I just stop you there? ‘Cause that’s all I need to hear, that the woman I love has my back. I can risk angering my family to get to my ultimate goal, but I cannot risk losing you.

Billy: Look, chelsea, both victoria and i feel like this is not the best time to talk to johnny about you. I’m sure you can appreciate. Look, as much as I am glad that ashland locke is not in johnny’s life any more or victoria’s, victoria did an amazing job protecting him from everything that ashland was. In johnny’s life, he is dealing with the loss of his stepfather.

Chelsea: I understand. I do. But I think johnny will consider this great news. I mean, he has a brother. How cool is that?

Billy: I get it. And it is. It’s just there’s a lot to this.

Chelsea: It’s a complicated situation.

Billy: Yes.

Chelsea: And, look, I’m grateful that victoria has already explained to johnny that he’s adopted, but he’s getting older. He’s going to wonder about his biological mom. Why not get ahead of the questions — who she is, where she is, why she’s not the person raising him?

Billy: Well, to be honest, he’s already had those questions, and we’ve done our best to avoid them at this point.

Chelsea: Because you don’t want to lie to him.

Billy: Look, you make good points, okay? I’ve said that before, but it’s not just up to me or you. This is an important decision for victoria.

Chelsea: Which is why, when you mentioned that when I first broached the topic with you, I went directly to her. But, billy, I have to know, when do you intend to get victoria on board?

Mariah: Alright, excuse me, everybody. Hi, guys. Sorry. Sorry. Alright. So most of you know that this was supposed to be a double surprise. First, the vow renewal that kyle hatched for summer, and then this party planned by noah. So I thought it would be an appropriate time to announce my surprise. Kyle did me a favor, and so I want to return it by appointing myself best person and giving a speech.

[ Laughter ]

Nick: I did not know we could just appoint ourselves things. If that’s the case, I’ll appoint myself king of the dance floor.

Mariah: Oh, yes. I don’t think anybody would dispute that. And, by the way, I’m just kidding about the best person thing. I’m sure that you would rather have harrison or jack. So this is the speech that I would give, as one of kyle’s best friends. You know, I, for one, am thrilled that kyle and summer are renewing their vows. As someone who recently married the love of my life, I know how meaningful it is to have your dearest friends and family bear witness. So to kyle, I am so proud of the man, the husband, and the father that you have become. And to summer [Chuckles] I am truly, truly happy for both of you. I look forward to not only working alongside, but raising our families together for years to come. To summer and kyle.

Together: Summer and kyle. Psoriatic arthritis, made my joints stiff,

“The young and the restless”

will continue. Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

Mariah: Oh.

Noah: Alright, well, I’d like to thank everyone for coming out to be a part of this. You know, for me, it’s kind of like killing two birds with one stone, ’cause, on one hand, I get to have a soft open for my new club, and on the other, I get to score some solid big-brother points for throwing this little soiree for the bride and groom.

[ Laughter ]

Nick: My boy’s always thinking.

Noah: Another reason that i wanted to have this party was ’cause it gave me a second chance at my brother-of-the-bride speech. Now, I realize that the first one I gave at your wedding in milan, it… well, it didn’t adequately describe the incredible woman that you’ve become. Yeah, maybe that’s ’cause I was too far away when you were blossoming into this amazing person. But I’m so glad that we’re both home now and we can make up for lost time. See, I see this as a celebration not only for summer and kyle’s love, but one for family and home. So here’s my older sister. You deserve every happiness. And to kyle, the guy who’s lucky enough to have her. Cheers, everyone.

Together: Cheers.

Billy: I am going to ask you to be a little bit more patient. You just sprung this up on us, and I haven’t had enough time to talk to victoria about it.

Chelsea: No time like the present.

Victoria: Well, how convenient to find you two here together. I’ve actually been meaning to talk to you both. Johnny told me that he had a little hangout with connor the other day by the pool. Given everything that you’ve just asked me, chelsea, I don’t really appreciate the two of you organizing this little outing behind my back, so what exactly are you up to?

Nate: Guess we both had the same idea. Late-night snack. Couple bites of the dinner we didn’t get to.

Elena: No. I’m not hungry. I’m worried.

Nate: I thought we settled everything.

Elena: I have a better understanding of what you’re trying to accomplish and your reasoning behind it, but… I still don’t think I can get behind this.

Nate: Why is it impossible for you to see things from my perspective? No matter how many times I try to explain that this is my best option? My only option? You know what? Never mind. It’s not going to happen. You are as limited in your view of what I can accomplish as devon is. I guess the two of you have more in common than I thought. I’m getting some fresh air.

[ Door opens, closes ]

Billy: There was nothing sneaky or subversive at all. We decided to get the boys together. They’re cousins. I mean, you were out of town, and there’s nothing unusual about it at all.

Victoria: Please. Do you really expect me to buy that? You’ve both, on separate occasions, asked me to tell johnny that chelsea’s his biological mom and connor’s his brother. So now you’re going to pretend that that was just a coincidence?

Billy: Victoria, I think it’s a tricky situation. We’re all trying to navigate it the best we can, maybe even lay a little bit of groundwork.

Victoria: Yeah, that’s exactly what you’re trying to do. You’re trying to lay the groundwork and back me into a corner.

Chelsea: Victoria, you’re right. I am so sorry. You are johnny’s mom. We should’ve spoken to you before we got the boys together. I’m not trying to do anything behind your back.

Victoria: Yes, I know that. And we already talked about this, and I said I would think about it. And I have kept my word. I have thought about it. But the bottom line is that johnny and katie have been through a lot lately, and this is not a good time for this.

Chelsea: I’m trying not to get emotional here. I just — I need you both to know how important this is to me. And not because I’m trying to insinuate myself into johnny’s life at all. It’s because I’m worried about what emotional issues this could cause for him down the road when he realizes his biological mom was in his orbit and she never told him. You know, I mean, with all of this dna testing these days, he will discover one day that his half brother and biological mom were not only living in the same town, but they were the people he would see at family gatherings, and he’s going to realize that his relatives all knew it. He’s going to realize that he was the only person who didn’T. Do you realize the damage that could cause?

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Summer: You know, despite the earlier drama with our mothers, this has turned into a really lovely night.

Kyle: We made the right choice moving back to genoa city. This is where we should be building our lives, around everyone we care about.

Summer: You’re right, of course, but it’s also kind of like, be careful what you wish for.

Kyle: [ Chuckling ] Exactly. There will always be bumps in the road, but nothing can replace the importance of family.

Summer: Are you thinking what I’m thinking?

Kyle: [ Sighs ] Let’s do it.

Summer: Mom, first of all, i want to thank you for being here, and I’m so sorry about that botched arrival earlier. That was no one’s intention. You have to know how much it means to me and kyle that you’re here for the celebration.

Kyle: Maybe it was all the speeches about family and home, but summer and I would like to see you back at the office tomorrow.

Diane: What?

Summer: We’re giving you one more chance, but this is seriously the last one.

Diane: Oh, I’m so grateful. Thank you.

Phyllis: Yeah, thank you very much. I’m really happy to have my job back. I have so much more to accomplish at marchetti. I really do. So I look forward to a long tenure without incident.

Diane: Yes, phyllis and I are going to find a way to put down our swords and work together.

Kyle: Please mean it.

Summer: Don’t make us regret this.

Diane: We won’T. We won’T.

Phyllis: Oh, yeah, promise. Promise.

Diane: Now, both of you should put aside any unpleasantness that we’ve caused and just go and enjoy yourself.

Phyllis: Yeah, you don’t have to worry about us anymore.

Kyle: Okay.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: Of course I want what’s best for johnny. He’s my priority. He always has been. That’s why I never hid the fact that I wasn’t his biological mom.

Billy: She was always so wonderful with him. She was always honest. She always told him that she was not the mother that carried him, and those were difficult conversations to have, but she did not shy away from them. Saying that, maybe it’s time we tell johnny about chelsea.

Victoria: It’s always been my intention to tell him at some point when it was right. It’s just that time, it’s gone by so quickly.

[ Sighs ] When we when we tell johnny — if we tell him — it’s going to change everything for all of us. You know that. And then johnny has to decide what kind of a relationship that he wants to have with you and connor. And if he’s not ready to process this and — and if he doesn’t suddenly want to spend more time with you, I need you to be willing to accept that.

Chelsea: I am.

Victoria: Okay. And, of course, you’re going to have to explain things to connor. He may not react the way that you expect him to. He’s been through a lot, as well.

Chelsea: I know.

Victoria: I would only ask that you don’t tell connor until we have a chance to speak to johnny about it, because he’s the one that’s going to be the most affected by this, and his feelings should be considered first and foremost, of course.

Chelsea: Of course. Of course. And I just hope that johnny will want to know connor as his brother.

Victoria: And I imagine that you’re also hoping that he’ll want to know you in a different way, but you should be prepared that he might not want that, and you have to accept his decision, because I’m only willing to take this step if that’s the way it’s going to be. (Vo) when you live with moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Summer: [ Giggles ]

Jack: Nice to see our kids so happy, isn’t it?

Diane: Oh, it is. A mother couldn’t ask for more.

Jack: So you mind telling me what that little tte–tte was about between you and the kids and phyllis?

Diane: Oh, well, they decided to give us another chance at marchetti. I mean, to be honest, I was really surprised. I thought I had blown it this time. Wait a minute. Don’t tell me you had something to do with that.

Jack: No, no, not at all. Any decisions made at marchetti are kyle’s and summer’s to make. I was very impressed with your taking responsibility and offering your resignation.

Diane: Well, I’m trying to make better choices these days.

[ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone pings ]

Jack: Everything alright?

Diane: Uh…oh, yeah. It’s just spam.

Chelsea: I agree to those parameters. They are fair and sensible. And thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Victoria: Then we have a plan.

Billy: I think victoria and i need to get together and have a conversation about when and where to tell johnny.

Victoria: And then it would be up to him.

Chelsea: Understood. I can’t believe it. Thank you. Thank you.

[ Sighs ]

Audra: You’re nate hastings.

Nate: You got me. I apologize. Were you a patient of mine?

Audra: I recognize you from the press coverage of the chancellor-winters lunch party. You made quite the splash.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] Didn’t realize at the time what kind of waves that splash would make. So what is it you do that has you memorizing names and faces of people in the business news?

Audra: Audra charles. My name’s not ringing a bell? You’re lucky I’m not offended easily.

Nate: Should I recognize it?

Audra: Yes, considering I’m meeting with your team at chancellor-winters tomorrow, jill brought me in to help take your company public.

Nate: I hadn’t heard the decision was official.

Audra: It’s not. But I hope it will be by morning.

Nate: In that case, can I join you? I’d be happy to answer any questions you have about the company or about our plans. Anything I can do to help. I’m looking forward to a smooth and successful venture.

Nick: How you holding up?

Phyllis: I’m okay.

Nick: I’m very proud of your restraint.

Phyllis: Thank you. Excuse me.

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Billy: I mean, how could she mislead us on her intentions in that way?

Victoria: This really surprises you that a former professional con artist would lie to get what she wants?

Elena: I don’t know if I can be around this version of you anymore.

Nate: What are you saying?

Elena: I think we need some time apart.

Diane: How did you get in here?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Brando, can you hear me? Brando? Please tell me you didn’t leave me.

[ Door opens ] Brando? You look a lot better. Thanks.

[ Door closes ] I’m so glad that you are out of that icu. Yeah. If only I could get out of this hospital altogether. Can’t wait to get out of here. All in due time, right? Okay. Since you told me about nikolas sleeping with esme, kind of sounds to me like your marriage is over. So have you thought about where you’re gonna go when they discharge you?

[ Knock on door ] Come in. Hey. What brings you by? Just checking in to see how you’re doing. Yeah. Is that reiko? Yeah. Yeah. It was taken at — taken on the mariana islands a long time ago. I see. What’s got you thinking about your late wife? Oh — nurse andrea: Dr. Finn? Yeah? Mr. Sanchez is prepped and ready for you. Oh, I’ll be right there. I’m sorry, dad. This might take a while. That’s okay. I’ll — I’ll walk out with you. Yeah? Thanks. Who are you? Here’s to you. Thank you. First of all, you don’t have to toast me. And second of all, you don’t have to drink a plain iced tea just because I can’t drink. I wanted a glass of iced tea, just like I wanted to celebrate my best friend. Especially after that scoop. “Two victims, one hook.” Definite clickbait. Brava, madame editor-in-chief. I had my reservations at first, but it turns out there was a lot of traffic on the website. And well-deserved. So, how’s kristina doing? What did she think of the article? I don’t even think she read it. What do you mean? You said she walked in on the attack. Is she having a hard time? Just the opposite. She doesn’t think witnessing the attack put her in any danger at all. I did manage to keep her name out of the article. But what if the attacker saw her and didn’t realize that kristina didn’t see the attacker? I don’t like the fact that she’s taking this so lightly. Then again, I’m not surprised at all. She’s always been a very gutsy girl. Even witnessing an attack won’t bring her down. No. She has her mother to do that for her. Alone at last.

[ Sighs ] You’ve sent the waiter away. Does that mean the meal is over? Mm, not at all, my dear. It just means now it’s time to serve ourselves.

[ Sniffling, gasps ] Brando? It’s me.

[ Sighs ] Did you really think I was brando? No. I-I know that it’s impossible. I just can’t believe that he’s gone. Yeah, it’s hard to believe. He was one of a kind. Hey, come on.


I have been thinking a lot about what happens when I’m well enough to leave G.H. Proud as I am of the metro court, and I’m super proud of it, I hate the idea of you camping out in a hotel room, so you’re just gonna have to stay with me. Oh. Well, thanks. But I — you know, I don’t — I don’t want charity, nina. Definitely don’t want pity. Ava, come on. We’re way past that. We have so much dirt on each other. I think by now we’re firmly ensconced in the girlfriends zone. I feel the same way. And friends, they help each other. It’s not charity. There’s no pity. Yeah, I know. But I… you don’t really want to stay with me because you would prefer to go back home to wyndemere. But, ava, nikolas is there. I’m not sure how this happened, but somehow in my trying to warn kristina about potential danger she may be in, I sort of blurted out that she was not living up to her full potential. Music to her ears, no doubt. And then to add to that, I sort of blurted out that she was risking her life for a dead-end job. Well, I’m sure that worked. You didn’t bring up law school? No. Oh, no. She’s sharp. She knew what was happening. And that is just my point. She’s too smart to be spending her life making work schedules for the wait staff. I completely agree. But it is her life. I’m painfully aware of that. Mm-hmm. I will try to do better at keeping my opinions to myself.

[ Laughs ] Good luck with that. Alexis. Yes? Hey, I’m glad I ran into you. I need your help. Nurse andrea: Elizabeth? You’re off today, aren’t you? What are you doing here? Call gladys. We’re okay. We’re okay. How’d you find me? Well, there are two places that brando always wanted to be. One was with you, and the other is in his garage. So I figured if you were looking for brando, you would come here. He really did love this place. I think you giving it to him was the best thing that ever happened to brando. Not at all. You were.

[ Crying ] So there’s more. Whatever you desire. You deserve to be waited on hand and foot. So please, I am utterly at your service. Your wish is my command. Well, I can’T. I mean, this has all been so lovely, and to ask for anything else would just be horrible. No, no, please. Please ask. You must promise me you must always be honest with me, no matter what. Shoe. What? Give me your shoe. No way. Come on, these things are italian.

[ Shoe thuds ]

[ Water splashes ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Screams ]

[ Water splashes ]


Can we talk? What is this about? I’d rather speak in private. Ava.Ava. Fear not, nikolas. I have to be going anyway. Alexis, it was lovely having half a drink with you. Go easy on krissy and yourself. Prince. So, you know, there are therapy apps where you can find a marriage counselor, you can speak to them in person or do it virtually. That’s not what I want to talk about. You said that ava was too proud to forgive a stupid mistake. Do you remember that? I do. Well, I should have listened to you. You understand the way that ava thinks. God help me. Clearly, ava and I, we have a volatile relationship. But when she was attacked, everything crystallized for me. I want ava in my life. I don’t want to lose her. And I take it ava didn’t have the same epiphany. No. That’s why I need some straight talk. Is it time for me to give up on my marriage? Wyndemere is huge. You know? And nikolas and i have lived there together in the past when we were estranged. Is this like the strategy keep your enemies close? Something like that. Alright. You know what? You told me before that you wanted to wait to make nikolas pay for cheating on you. Is now the time? I mean, I’m sure scott is just chomping at the bit to file a generous divorce settlement for you. You know, I, uh — I haven’t spoken to scotty about this yet. Ava jerome, you’re stalling. You’re still in love with your husband. You spoke to gladys? She said to thank you for finding sasha. I, um — I guess I should go home. I just want to stay here. Stay. Go. I felt like — like brando was here, working, like any minute, he would walk through that door with some part that he had forgotten to order. And he would smile and kiss me and say “thank you for waiting.” Like any other day. But brando is gone. And no matter how many times I pretend or wish or try to convince myself that it’s just a horrible nightmare…

[ Crying ] …Brando isn’t here. He’s not anywhere.

[ Sighs ] You know what? It’s like my — my son morgan. Um, with my dad, it was different because I got to say goodbye to my dad, but — but morgan, he was like brando. It was unexpected. It was sudden. One minute he’s here. Next minute he’s gone. We didn’t even have a body to bury. I got to confess something to you. A lot of times I go into crowds, and I — I just want to see him, you know? Sometimes the phone rings… and I think it’s him. How long did you feel that way? Tell you the truth, I still scan crowds for morgan. I just want to be able to see him one last time, you know? My boy, my son. Tell me, lucy, what — what do you want from me? Just — just name it. No, I can’T. I mean, you asked me not to ask you, and so I just — I can’T. I won’t ask you. But you also told me to wait, and I’m so bad at waiting. I’ve never been good at it. And I’m just really brimming with curiosity. You know, I have always just loved a man with a big plan.

[ Chuckles ] So I’m just so excited. Come on. Couldn’t you just give me a teensy, weensy little hint, please?

[ Engine rumbles ] W-what is that? Are we stopping? Well, we certainly shouldn’t be. Mr. Cassadine. What is it? What’s going on? Someone went overboard. (Vo) when you live with moderate to severe crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, your day can be full of reminders of your condition. You weren’t made for uc or crohn’s, but entyvio is. In clinical trials, entyvio helped many people achieve long-term relief and remission. Infusion and serious allergic reactions can happen during or after treatment. Entyvio may increase risk of infection, which can be serious. Although unlikely, a risk of pml, a rare, serious, potentially fatal brain infection cannot be ruled out. Tell your doctor if you have an infection, experience frequent infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. Liver problems can occur. Ask your doctor about entyvio. Entyvio, entyvio, entyvio one prilosec otc in the morning blocks excess acid production for a full 24 hours. Unlike pepcid, which stops working after 9. 24 hour protection. Prilosec otc one pill, 24 hours, zero heartburn. It’s josslyn.

[ Clears throat ] Sonny. Go ahead. What do you want, diane? Gladys said that sasha was here, and I’d like to speak to her. She’s in the office. Brando’s office. S-she doesn’t want — you know, she doesn’t want to deal with anybody. Wants to be left alone. I can wait. I need to go over some legal issues that have arisen with brando’s death. Hell of a time, diane, to be doing business, don’t you think? I’ve been asked to serve as interim counsel. Martin grey is still out of town. We’re dealing with brando’s widow. Why should I trust you to represent her when you grilled me on the stand? Believe me, sonny, I could have gone a lot harder on you. Dex, go. Understand something, sonny. I liked brando a lot. I love the fact that he came into town and — and rescued carly. I love the fact that he became a father figure to — to dev cerci, that boy that you were trying to keep in the country. And then he infiltrated cyrus renault’s organization and saved sasha. All he wanted was to make an honest living. Brando corbin was a hero who deserved a much better hand than the one life dealt him. You’re not gonna get any argument from me there, diane. I am not trying to capitalize on tragedy, sonny. I’m just trying to do right by brando by helping his widow at the request of her lawyer and his grieving mother. And you — you expect me to ignore that you just pretty much — you grilled me on that stand at nina’s hearing. I mean, how could you do that to me? I was fighting for michael and willow. I was doing my utmost to win the case for them, as I would for any client, no matter how ungrateful. Sonny, I have been through thick and thin with you. I have been through good and bad. I have protected you and yours. And I have done pretty much everything except dig a grave in the pine barrens. You sided with michael. Because michael retained me to defend against the petition brought by nina for visitation. And if you will recall, you and nina were not a couple formally at the time, so there was no conflict of interest. And it was you who spontaneously volunteered to testify on nina’s behalf, asked scott baldwin to put you on the stand. I was only cross-examining you the way any halfway competent lawyer would. You laid out…

[ Scoffs ] …My life for everyone to see. That’s personal to me. How can I forget that, diane? In love with nikolas? Oh, hardly. No, I am not the sort of woman that’s gonna let somebody cheat on me and humiliate me and get away with it. Mm. Ava, besides me, who knows that nikolas slept with esme? Besides you, um… just spencer and victor. Well, I doubt they’re gonna throw it into your face if you decide to forgive nikolas. I mean, I won’T. Why are you pushing for me to get back with nikolas? I’m not pushing for you to get back with nikolas. I just — I just don’t want your pride to get in the way of your happiness. It is your prerogative if you want to expose nikolas’ bad behavior or if you want to forgive him. I just want you to be happy. I don’t know if I could live with myself if I gave him another chance. I would be worried, wondering if it could happen again. And I’ve lived with that kind of betrayal in the past. I lost my daughter because of it. I know. We both have made our share of mistakes, and we both have suffered. And we’ve paid terrible prices, haven’t we? But we’re still here. Just barely. No. Listen, you’re on the mend. You are. And it’s pretty amazing that we both found love after everything we’ve been through. It’s kind of like a miracle, isn’t it? So, ava, whether or not you want to forgive nikolas, it’s up to you. But if you still love him… did you know I blackmailed nikolas into this marriage in the first place? That is hardly a foundation for everlasting commitment. Well, your marriage may not have started as a love match, but it’s a love match now. Do you want to give up on your marriage? No. But I’m at the end of my rope. I mean, nothing I’ve said has budged ava even a bit. Well, that’s ’cause talk is cheap.

[ Scoffs ] Is that the best you can do? May I remind you that you came to me? You’re more than welcome to vacate that bar stool for a more nuanced commentary. Okay. I am sorry. I’m just trying to figure out what to do. Do you think that I need to take action? I don’t know what you need to do. I don’t know what you did, and I don’t want to know. I’m just asking you, whatever it was, will it cost ava her pride to forgive you? Definitely. Then you need to give something back. Like what? I don’t know. Something that shows ava that you value your relationship with her to put something on the line, to risk something for her. Just like you’re asking her to swallow her pride in order to take you back. So, I convinced kevin to hypnotize me again because I was on the verge of remembering something. I just didn’t do it in the session. And then I did. Finn, I remembered the face of the woman at the bottom of the stairs. That’s encouraging. Who is she? That’s the thing. I don’t know. You saw her face, but you didn’t recognize her. I cannot place her. I have no memory of this person except for the moment on the stairs. Except I feel like she wasn’t a stranger.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Thanks. That’s, uh — that’s reiko. That’s my late wife. Victor: Are you sure there’s a man overboard? Deckhand: Yes, sir. I saw a body hit the water and told the captain to stop. We’re circling back now. What? Well, what are you doing standing around here for? Come on. Help with the rescue operation, man. Victor, oh, my god! This man could drown! You need to go help. I mean, you’re so strong. Alright. I suppose I should go supervise. Listen, I promise I won’t be too long. Perfect. I’ll be right here when you come back. Go on. Go with the wind. Psst, psst. Come on. He’s gone. He’s gone. He’s gone. Okay, wait a minute. Did you — did you just throw a man overboard? Wait a minute. What happened to your shoe? Don’t worry about it. It was just johann. He never saw us. Don’t worry. No one knows we’re here. That could change any moment. What are you doing here? We’re rescuing you. What if I don’t want to be rescued?


We don’t have time for games, lucy. Victor could be back any moment. We have to go. I cannot go right now because then he’ll know that I am playing him. And he’ll know that you probably set me up to do this whole thing. He is just starting to open up to me. This is obviously the scene of a seduction. Champagne, petit fours. How do you expect this evening’s gonna end, lucy? Yeah, how? I can handle victor. He is putty in my hand. Well, that’s a very expensive gift. It’s really nice, isn’t it? Focus. Okay, listen. I haven’t felt this alive in years. I still got it. Okay, well, there’s no need to keep discussing this. I would like to speak with sasha, but if that is not going to happen, please, please have her give me a call. Diane, wait.

[ Sighs ] Sasha needs a good lawyer. Good?

[ Door opens ] Diane. Hey, honey. I am so, so sorry about brando. I was just telling sonny how much I admired him. Thank you. Now, I don’t want to intrude on your grief, but martin grey is still out of town. So he and your mother-in-law feel that there may be some pressing legal issues that require your prompt attention. So I’ve been asked to serve as interim counsel, if that’s okay with you. I guess. But what is so important that it can’t wait? It’s a confidential matter. It’s okay. You can talk in front of sonny. Alright. It concerns your guardianship. Oh, that’s settled. Brando — your agreement to avoid prison stipulates that you must have a legal guardian. Are you saying, diane, that the agreement is null and void? Am I going to prison? Well, if it isn’t the woman behind the headlines. How’s the response? Good and bad. I think the general public is glad that they were alerted to the fact that there’s a hook-wielding maniac on the loose. The police commissioner, that’s another matter. I’d like to hear more. Are you leaving? You have time to join me for a cup of coffee? Sure. Why not? Elizabeth: This is reiko? Finn: A long time ago. We were both with doctors without borders. It was our first post. She looks so young. Yeah. You don’t talk about her. I know. Never been able to make peace with how she died. Infected with the same disease I was trying to cure. Blackwoods disease. Uh-huh. What brings her up for you now? Um, a case — case I’m working on. It reminded me of something that reiko and I went through when we were posted on the mariana islands. Mariana islands? That’s near guam, right? Yeah. You amaze me. Most — most people don’t even know those islands exist. And when we were there, we had A… a good friend, good doctor, and he… he died of this poisonous snake bite. You okay? You got a headache? Yeah, just a little bit. From the hypnotherapy? Probably. I’m just so frustrated because I have all these little pieces that I can’t quite seem to put together to see the larger picture. It’s okay. It’s coming. Every day you’re learning a little more. None of this makes sense. I need to go home and just lie down for a little bit. I think you’re incredible. We’re gonna find the truth. You are in way over your head, lucy. You can’t underestimate victor. I know, I know. But listen to me. He actually told me that he has plans. Some kind of plans, big plans. And he wants to include me. What plans? I-I don’t know, because the two of you interrupted. But I am getting this close to it. Shh. Someone’s coming. Okay, look, this is your last chance. If you don’t come with us now, you’re on your own. I’m fine. I’m fine. I’m on my own. I got this. I promise. I’ve got this. Oh, oh, oh, oh.

[ Coughing ] Oh, my — oh, my goodness. What — what — what happened? This is awful. What happened? Well, I’m not entirely sure. Johann went overboard, but he isn’t able to tell me exactly how or why. I guess he must have got a concussion when he hit the water. Oh, dear. That’s horrible. Here, drink this. Drink this. Here. Take it. Come on, man. Focus. Tell me what happened. I was on the deck. Maybe I lost my balance? Well, could you have been pushed? I mean, did you see anyone else? I don’t remember seeing anyone. I was… you were? You were what? Having a drink. Oh, my goodness. You were drinking on the job? You know, that is really dangerous. I wasn’t drunk. Alright, come on. You better go back to your state room and dry off. Come on. I’ll call the captain and see if we have a medic on board. I’m sorry for the trouble, mr. Cassadine. Yeah, well, we’ll deal with this later. Oh, dear. Poor johann. You know, alcoholism is such a serious burden. Something’s off.


I only agreed the first time because I trusted brando. Now that he’s gone, it’s — it’s over for me. No, no, no, no. Legally, it’s not. Okay, but sasha should not have to be going through this right now, diane. I completely agree. That is why I am prepared to file a continuance, pending your approval. Do you — do you understand what that means? Yes. And that’s fine. You have my approval. Thank you. Now, do you know where brando kept his copy of your guardianship decree? His office. Or — or maybe our place. He didn’t say. Do you want — you want diane to go in his office and check for the papers and stuff? The sooner we get this sorted, the better. I mean, that is if it’s okay with you. Yes. Okay. Yeah, that’s fine. I should go home. I’m tired. Okay. I’ll take you. Okay. Um, the office is in the back. Copy that. I’m on it. Hey, diane. Thank you. Actually, I have it on good authority that the police commissioner is unhappy with our article. Does it surprise you? I’m not insensitive to her concerns. I just consider warning the public to be a part of the greater good. It doesn’t hurt that the readership is up, does it? 30%. Most people were glad for the warning, and a small amount thought

the invader was fearmongering. The article I read didn’t sensationalize the crimes. It just gave the public the facts. I was very impressed. Now I can sleep at night.

[ Laughs ] I know my opinion doesn’t really matter. Actually, it does. It matters to me. I could use some help. I found sasha. What? I’m confused. What — sasha was missing? Why didn’t someone call me? We’re here at brando’s garage. I’m gonna take her home. Can you meet us there? Yeah, of course. I need to be there. I’ll see you soon. What is that? Is sasha okay? No. I mean, considering. No. Sasha is definitely not okay. And I should be with her.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Sighs] Can we talk? Go. Help sasha. I’ll be okay. Well, say whatever it is you came here to say. But just know that it’s gonna take a lot more than words to make things right between us. I know. That’s why I brought this.


I need you to wait till ms. Miller’s finished. Make sure you lock up. I’m taking sasha home. She gonna be okay? She’s got her family to take care of her. Hey. You ready to go? Yeah, I’m done. Alright. Don’t worry. I’ll take care of things here. What is that? I’m done talking. This is proof of how much I love you. Okay. Zodiac’s docked. Are they coming after us? No, I don’t see any sign of a disturbance. I think we got away clean. Whew. Well, except for the shoe. You’ll live. You’re glowing, you know. Yeah, you smooth talker. You’re really in your element, aren’t you? It’s fun working together. Sorry our rescue attempt fell flat. Oh. Yeah. I mean, I-I wanted victor to be enamored with lucy, but I am still very concerned that putting her in his sights is just such a risk. Well, it was her call. She didn’t want to leave. No. We’re going to keep an eye on the situation. If she needs us, we can help her. I worry that it’s not if, but when. Why don’t we get back on track and resume this date we’re having? Date? Well, now, I’m surprised you call it a date. You seem determined to make it all about business. Well, I don’t know too many business meetings I’ve had where I’ve been presented with diamonds, so I can safely assume that this is a date. You don’t seem angry. Well, I am compelled to tell you that I’m spoken for. And I really am very much in love with marty. However, you are making it very, very difficult to stay true. And I find myself wondering, what would a future with mr. Victor cassadine look like? Well, let’s find out. This coffee is probably the last thing that I need. I’ll be up all night. Not that I need an excuse. I’m still really worried about kristina. She witnessed that attack, and — and that could make her a target. Have you given more thought to your idea about posting an open letter in the invader to try and draw the killer out, get them to give something away, some clue that might help the pcpd to catch them? Then kristina will be safe. I think if we engage the killer, keep them occupied, it might give the police more time to investigate. Start a dialogue, maybe provide a distraction. It’s a fine balance, though. Don’t want to give the attacker a platform. Just enough rope to hang. You know, I’ve been a lawyer for a long time, and I’ve seen cases like this, and I don’t believe for one minute that this killer is done.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, Detective Hunter, I keep telling you Mrs. Hernandez, please call me Jada and I keep telling you Jada to call me Nicole. What brings you by, Well, I know it’s Eric’s first day here, so you brought him his lunch. No, uh, I meant that I hate to bother him, but I think he has my phone. This is his, I must have picked it up by mistake, Lynn, when you woke up in bed together this morning

and call purchasing and say that we need an extra order of that wool.

Okay, so how did things go with Bell? Well, my hand is cramping from all the documents I had to sign. It’s official. I have full custody of Rachel . Oh, I’m so happy for you, Brady and for Rachel.

I’m so, I’m honestly, I’m so overwhelmed, but I’m also surprised. I’m surprised with all that stuff that Kristen Dred up in the courtroom. I, I don’t know how the judge ruled in my favor, but, Huh. Well, hi.

So once you get back into Salem last night, uh, and when was the last time you saw Leo? Um, I think just now would’ve been, um, probably the morning after our, our boarded wedding. Ugh. Yeah. So you left town right after that? Mm-hmm. . Mm. When, Right back to New York when cut ties. I Could I ask where you were?

September 1st? I’m, I’m not sure why. Well, it’s nice. Sunny C was stabbed.

That’s odd. What? Well, all the time that Craig and I were married, he, he never wore after shave or cologne. Maybe he started wearing it after the, the two of you split up something that smells like vanilla. Oh, that would be a coincidence. Why do you, why do you say that? Because that’s what my fiance wears.

Clyde Wesson. Mm-hmm. , You know, at first I kind of thought it was feminine because it’s so sweet, but. You now? I kind of like it.

What? Nothing. I just thought that I smell Benoa.

Oh my God. Chad, what is it? What’s wrong?

Clyde.

Like sand through the hour class. So are the days of our lives.

Well, I happened to run into the judge in the hallway outside of the hearing. And I told her that we knew we can’t use Kristen’s past crimes against her because of her. Pardon? But I told her that I have evidence that she tried to assault me after she was released. You told the judge that she threatened to attack you with the letter opener?

Well, I didn’t give her the play by play, but I gave her the surveillance video from our office. I’m assuming she watched it. Why didn’t you tell me about that earlier? Because if Kristen found out that I was the reason that she lost this case, then she would use that against me with Rachel. And, and even worse, she would use that against you.

And I didn’t want Rachel hating you for being with me. I mean, that that poor kid has been through enough already. And the judge was okay with this. Well, she was a little. Wary, but I sort of sense that she was really frustrated with this whole situation and I think she clearly knew that there was a whole lot more that was going on that she wasn’t privy to.

But because of Kristen’s, pardon? She couldn’t even consider any of the real facts. So I considered this just helping un entire hands a bit so that she could make the ruling she wanted to make all. Look, I know, I know this was a bit risky, but I just, I couldn’t stand by and watch you lose custody of Rachel to that monster.

So I am not sorry for what I did, but I, I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you Sarah. Don’t, don’t, I don’t even want to hear you say sorry you didn’t have to be sorry about anything. You understand Because of you, I, I’m not gonna lose my little girl. I’m gonna have her forever. Chloe, I told you recently how much I adore you.

Well, that was very transparent. Transparent meaning what? The comments you just made. Or was it a question? Well, I, I suppose it was a, uh, rhetorical question that I already knew the answer to. What? Why are you looking at me that way? What way? Like, I’ve offended you so deeply. Look, you are the one that told me you had Eric’s phone and he had yours.

Yeah. And then total non sequiter, you ask if the phone mix up happened when Eric and I were in bed together. Well, it was a reasonable assumption. I, I mean, this image just popped in my head. That’s all. I had pictured these phones getting mixed up under the sheets or whatever. Eric and I don’t keep our phones in the sheets.

Well, I just, I meant that, you know, I pictured you and Eric waking up in bed together. So what, how is that transparent? Oh, come on. It does not take a strength to realize that you’re being bothered that I’m involved with your ex-husband. Which I might understand if it wasn’t for the fact that you are a newly way.

In fact, you are married to a great guy. In my opinion, I am not bothered that Eric has a girlfriend. I’m just protective and look, I really hope you two are right for each other, right? That would make you deliriously happy. Okay. Can we cut the sarcasm please? Well, can you be honest that you are not rooting for Eric and I to be happy?

In fact, you are waiting and hoping that we fall apart. That is not true.

Okay. I admit, I overstepped when I made that comment about you and Eric waking up in bed together. Okay? So whatever you two do behind closed doors is none of my business, but I already knew that you two were. Sleeping together. Yeah. Yeah. Because you told me when I dropped by Erics the other day. Right, right.

Um, that was when you came by to offer Eric the, uh, job, wasn’t it? Your husband had mentioned it to me. Wow. I would thank you. Two would have more interesting things to discuss at the station. Oh, but you see, this is very interesting. You see the day after you came to visit Eric, he was just talking to me about looking for a job, and he said he was looking for one as a photographer, which makes sense considering his vast amount of experience, which makes him the perfect hire for basic black, right?

But he didn’t mention that. In fact, he was saying how scarce these kind of jobs are. Oh, well we just happened to have an opening, and I get all that, but why didn’t Eric mention. I mean, especially since you just offered him the job. At least that’s what you told ra. Excuse me. Are you calling me a liar?

Um, I’m sorry. Commission. Are you asking me if I, if I stab son Cka? I’m just gathering information. Ah, information. About my whereabouts when the attack occurred. Yeah. Um, well I was, I was just visiting with Leo and his cell, as you know, and it was just going on and on about, uh, how I must have, you know, wanted payback for him breaking my heart.

That’s all he kept saying. Is accusations overcome? Um, yeah. I’m aware of the accusation, which are Arthur Raving, So Desperate man. As, as I’m sure you know,

Oh my Rav is Craig. He is accusing me of stabbing Sonny and murdering advocate. Aga dir, I.

Look, you can’t actually believe that I would be so blinded by, by hatred for Leo that I would, I would take an innocent woman’s life. I, I would forget my oath. Did you? No harm. Oh my God.

You believe him? Actually believe him.

What are you uh, doing here at Clyde? Well, as a matter of fact, I just got called in for a random drug test, you know, as part of my parole, which is something you should know a little bit about being an ex con and all. Not exactly. Yeah. I know you got the conviction overturned, but you did several time. You do remember when we shared an address at Statesville, don’t you?

It’s hard to forget. Um, seeing as you tried to. But then Ben tried to stop you and you ended up shing him instead. , isn’t it amazing how I just turned himself into a standup guy? You know, I’m trying to do the same thing. Does that, So, yeah. Ever since I got out, I’m doing everything I can to turn my life around.

You’re looking at a change guy. Oh, glad to hear that. I’d love to stay and chew the fat with you. But Nancy and I got a date, she and I going down the city hall and get hitch. Congratulations. Thank you. You take good care of that husband of years. Now. I’m really glad to hear they caught the guy that attacked him.

Must be a real relief knowing that scum like that is off the street. Now,

Chad, what is it? But I just re remember when I saw Craig Clyde was standing right there. So I must have been his clo I was smelling. That must have been it. You don’t have know what Clyde is now, do you? Um, he’s at the hospital getting his drug test. It’s a condition of his parole troll. But you know, if you really wanna get some of that cologne, you’re not gonna have any problem.

I know for a fact they sell it down at parents I’ll to get some, Huh? Chad, are you sure? You’re all right. You’re as Payless a ghost. I’m fine. I just, I I have to be somewhere.

I never accused you of lying, Nicole. Well, you’re certainly insinuating it. You know what? I’m just gonna leave Eric’s phone here and go. Not yet, not until you let me. Please.

Is Eric working at Basic Black or not? Apparently he is. Okay. Then why would I lie to my husband and tell him that I offered Eric a job if I hadn’t? Maybe because you came to see Eric for some other reason. Like what? You know what? I came to give Eric his phone and to get mine, I did not come here to argue with.

Nicole, it’s like, it’s like we’re some sick competition for Eric’s love and affection, even though you are divorced and married to another man. Jah, I’m not competing with you. And like I explained, aside from being married to Eric, we have a long history as friends and you know what? Because of everything he’s been through lately.

Yes. And you’re protective of him. I get it. You said it many. But what I don’t get and what I find insulting is that you being so damn protective of Eric and I’s relationship, it’s, it’s, it’s suggesting that I’m not good for him. Like he needs protection from me. I mean, you understand how that might make me feel.

You get the shoot all set up, hey.

What’s going on?

Of course, I didn’t stab Sunny K over Murderer Abigail Damir. Aside from the fact that I’m not a homicidal maniac, I wasn’t even in town. And those two attacks occurred. You know, the fact that you are listening to some grifter who takes advantage and prays upon people’s vulnerability, you know, this is an insult, it’s an outrage.

Still be able to provide an alibi.

Yes, of course. And not just for September 1st. I’ll need one for the night of June 10th.

and three months ago, I don’t know what I was doing. So was that a yes or no for the alibi?

You know, I’m, I’m, I’m up and on call. I don’t know where I’m practitioning from day to day. I, Well, that could be a problem for you. Yes. I’ll have my secretary. They’ll get my schedule and I will get back to you. Okay? Yeah. The sooner the better.

You don’t want what? I don’t have to pick Rachel not from school for about an hour. You wanna make this, uh, celebration official? What are we waiting for?

Kidding me? Maybe they’ll go away. Are you here? Mm-hmm. . Oh yeah. I doubt it. Yeah.

Oh sweetheart, I am so glad you’re here. Hello. Hello, Mother. How you doing, Nancy? Oh, I am just wonderful and I can’t wait to tell you both the news. Oh, what news is that? Hi, and I are getting married. Yeah, Mom, we know you told us last night, but I didn’t tell you the best part. We’re getting married today.

Well, hey, hey. How’s, how’s son? Uh, he’s sleeping. He had a visitor earlier, so we kind of knocked him out. Who, Uh, his brother Alex. Okay. You haven’t seen Clyde Wesson anywhere around, have you? I have actually Here he was here. It was kind of weird. Did he go into Sonny’s room? No, not that I saw, but he, I mean, he was, was standing here looking in, He said he was here for a drug test.

Why? Why? What’s going on? I don’t think Leo hurt anyone. I think he’s been Clyde Weston this whole time.

Wait, I’m sorry. You think Clyde was the one who stabbed? Sonny? Why? Where’s this coming from? Okay. You remember, remember yesterday when we, we tried to help Sonny recall what had happened to him when he was attacked. He said that he smelled vanilla. Okay. And then after I ran into Craig and Clyde at Horton Town Square, and, and I smelled it vanilla.

Okay? And then at first I thought it was, But then Nancy said that Clyde Weston wears a cologne and his smells like vanilla. Well, it’s him. You’re marrying Clyde today. When did this happen? It was Clyde’s idea. We’re going to be married at City Hall in an hour. , Why? Why are you rushing into this? You have no reason to get married today.

And I don’t have any reason not to. I mean, quiet is the man that I wanna spend the rest of my life with. Why shouldn’t we make it official as soon as possible? And that’s why I’m here. I’d really like the two of you to be my witnesses. So, um, could you go put on something nice? And you too, Brady? Mom, can we talk about this for one minute?

No. Your father is going to be here any minute. Daddy here. Well, I, I ask him to be here and being part of my wedding. I want both of you to be part of it. Let’s him now. Oh, Craig, you got my message. Please, please tell me that you are free to come to my wedding. Um, I, I’m not sure Nancy. See Mom, even Dad thinks you’re rushing into this.

No, it’s not that. It’s just I. I don’t feel like I’m gonna sell between mood. I just got accused of murder.

Hey, hey babe. Can you wake up? Wake up. Time to wake up. Hey Chad, what’s going on? Hey, Chad. Learned something that might, that might. Prove who your attacker was. It wasn’t la No, I, I don’t think so. So, I, I, Sonny, I know your, your memory’s hazy about what happened and, and who stabbed you. But we’re gonna need you to rack your brain one more time.

I mean, I can for a shot. Look, I, I need you do, do you, when you were attacked, do you remember seeing Clyde Weston?

This is a surprise. I think you might have my phone. I do. Um, yeah. I’m sorry. I didn’t notice. Must be a slow crime day. Yeah. Otherwise you would’ve received a barrage of text messages by now. Yep. Pretty slow day. All right. Well, I better be getting back to the office. I’ll see you right home. Yeah, definitely.

So you said you’re all set up for the shoot. We should head downstairs. Is it me or are things a little tense between you and Jay when I walked in? Tense? Yeah, tense. Not just a little but very. Is there something going on between you two?

Well, you’re right. There was some tension between Jada and me. Why? Because I lied to my husband and she called me out. You lied to rape about what? I hadn’t told him that I came by your place the other day. And when he found out, he asked me why. And I felt awkward telling my current husband that I’d been dreaming about my ex-husband.

So I didn’t tell him the truth. And I told him that I offered you a job and I felt bad about lying to him about that. So I raced over to your place to offer you a job. For real. So you offered me a job to make your lie become the truth. Something like that. Yeah. Well, there’s only one thing left for me to do.

I quit.

Sorry to be late. I had to run over and see Eric over at Basic Black. Everything okay? Yeah, no big deal. We had just Swiss uh, phones by mistake. , right? Yeah. So, uh, how’s his first day going? So far, so good. . Good. Good. Glad. Think you’re working out for him. Yeah. Well I didn’t stay too long, guy. I wanted to get to work.

Any news on the case maybe? Yeah. Um, so know you haven’t been here long, but you’ve had some honors with Melinda Trash, can’t you? I have. She seems like a very tenacious prosecutor. Hmm. Yeah. So might say a little too tenacious. Is that a bad thing? Oh, it can be. Yeah. You know, especially if the suspect is, I.

Wait, I’m sorry. Who do we think is innocent? Leo Stark.

So Leo actually accused you of framing him. He did that bastard. That is absurd, huh? You’re absolutely right’s. Totally ridiculous. You’re an upstanding citizen. You’re a doctor for crying out loud. Craig, you wouldn’t hurt anyone much less kill them. That’s not what the commissioner believes. Otherwise, he would not be entertaining.

Leo’s accusations. Wave. He must know better than to believe a word outta Leo’s mouth. Well, apparently he doesn’t, or he wouldn’t have questioned my alibi. This is ridiculous. You, you are no more guilty than Clyde is. He was accused of killing Abigail, but he had an alibi for the night. She was. He was innocent.

You and Clyde have been unfairly accused. Clyde Weston. Yes. Clyde Weston. He wears a cologne that smells like vanilla. I need you to think, Son. Do Do you remember seeing Clyde that night?

I’m trying. I I’m, I’m sorry. It’s just, there’s nothing. Are you sure? Yes. I mean, I wish I could see anyone. I mean, someone in my mind’s side, but there’s just, there’s nothing happen. Okay. Nothing happening yet, so just try, try again. Take your time. Stay calm. Try again.

Okay. Um,

okay, so I’m at the filing cabinet. I hear someone coming. I start to turn and what, what, what, what? Is it exciting? What is it? Do you remember something

you quit? Why you just started? Because you just admitted that it wasn’t a legitimate job offer. I’m not gonna work for basic black just to ease your guilt because you chose to lie to your husband. I’m wonder, go get my things. Wait, wait. Eric, please just listen to me for a second. Okay? Yes. Initially I may have offered you the job to, to ease my guilt, but we, we do need you here.

Trust me, we do badly because thanks to Kristen in her reign of terror, there’s just been a lot of turnover with our staff. But we do need a photographer whose work I can trust, and you are definitely qualified. So it was strange. This my offer may have been, uh, I still want you here. That is if you wanna work here.

Yes, I wanna work here on one condition. From now on, you’re gonna be up front with rave about us working together because the last thing I want is to cause any trouble between you and your husband.

You think Leo Stark is innocent? I said might be, but as time goes on, I am less and less sure that he’s guilty. Even with all the evidence, Well, it’s hardly an ironclad case, and there’s possibility that Leo is being frame. Okay. The problem with Trask, when she settles on a suspect, especially someone who looks reasonably guilty, well, she’s gonna try and push the whole case through without looking back.

So what do you have in mind? Wow. I want you to look at all the evidence that we have. You’re a fresh pair of eyes. Maybe you see something that I missed. Do you think there’s anything to Stark’s accusation? Craig Wesley, are you leaning in that direction? Honestly, I don’t know, but, uh, I am hesitant to lean into anything without giving it a lot more thought.

Now I am damn sure gonna check and see you on Wesley’s alibi. Yes. In the meantime, want you go through all of this with a fine tooth comb. See if there’s any evidence that someone other than Leo committed these crimes.

Sunny, Come on. Did you?

It was him. I saw him. He was Clyde Weston. Yeah, it was just his reflection in a glass of a painting, but it was definitely him, which he said, Clyde was the most stabbed me. Why would he do this to me, not just you? The fact that he stabbed you with was also used on Abigail. Which means he murdered my wife.

You know, it, it seems like the Salem PD has accused everyone except the guilty party. Okay. Craig, I’m sure all of this will go away as soon as you provide RA with those alibis that he wants. I hope you’re right. You’re right. I, I know I’m right. And then all of this will be over, but today is for me. Can we just celebrate me?

I want that for you guys. No one should be happier than you. Thank you, Craig. And I really want you there. I mean, we’re still family.

Is there any way that you can put aside all your worries and just celebrate today with me? Of course. I’ll come. Nancy, I want to be there for you too. Thank you, Craig.

What am I standing around here for? I gotta go get dress. Be like for my own.

That son of a bitch, they had him in custody and they just let him go cuz he had an alibi. That’s right. Yeah. He said he was fishing at the time of Abigail’s murder. And that’s why you accused my dad because Clyde said he was down at the docks and their surveillance footage to prove that. But I know that I saw his reflection.

How can I be,

How’s it going? I might have so, Tell me. I was going over Clyde’s statement about Leo selling him that jewelry and it mentioned his alibi, and since I wasn’t here when he was a suspect, I decided to look through the surveillance footage for myself. You mean the video of Clyde fishing on the docks At the time I abi Gill’s murder.

Yeah. And there’s a problem with it. Did client say where he was gone after the drug test? He did. He, he’s, he’s going to city hall to marry Nancy today. Char what

I’m tell what we learned and where they can find

of. I will be honest with Rafe in the future. I mean, I, I never should have lied to him in the first place. Then why did you, I mean, when you had a dream about a slow cooker raining, sloppy Joe’s all over me, why would you lie to Rafe about something so silly? Because I lied to you too. You lied about what?

I didn’t. Dream about you getting hit with sloppy joe’s.

The dream I had about us was it was a sex dream.

You had a sex dream about me. Wow. Well, I didn’t mean anything. It was just a dream. On interest of full disclosure, the dream I told you I had about you. Mean, I wasn’t just suddenly delivering singing telegrams. Not exactly. I lied to. Why would you lie? Because I had a sex dream about you too. I mean, but it was just a dream.

Right? Yes. It was just, just a dream. Yeah.

I wanna see you downstairs. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Well, I guess I should go get ready for your mom’s wedding. See downstairs, half an hour. Dad, wait. You can’t honestly think that this wedding is a good idea, Chloe, I just want your mom to be happy. You have always Clyde Weston Seems like a long shot to me, more than a long shot. It sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

Dad, please, please, you have to help me stop.

Clyde. Oh, Oh, no, it, it’s bad luck. You can’t see me before the wedding . Come on. We’ve already seen each other today. You can take that tradition and throw it out the window. Besides, we are not gonna have any bad luck. Did you pass your drug test the flying colors, baby? Hey, nothing gonna stop us from being the husband and wife and sharing a wonderful life together.

So there’s c. Yep. Fishing on the docks at the time of the murder, except what do you see? I’m stand. Whoa. But there was this split second there where it looked like a different number. I went frame by frame. It’s been scrubbed pretty thoroughly, but where it now reads 8:03 PM where the eight is, there’s a ghost of the number 11.

Which means Clyde doesn’t have an alibi for Abigail’s murder. After all,

you want any more? No, I’m good. No you’re not.

I Western still out there. Yeah, not for long, hopefully. But what if he comes back to finish me off?

If he was trying to frame Leo, it would not make any sense for him to go after you again. While Leo’s still locked up. You’re right. Right. You’re right. Yeah. You’re safe. You’re safe here. I’m gonna be here. I’m not. I’m not letting anything else happen to you, but this isn’t just about me.

And then do you think Clyde really could have killed that? Chad thinks so. And I’ll bet right now he is doing his damnest to convince the cops of that.

Taylor: Oh, my timing is off.

Steffy: Oh, mom.

Taylor: I get you when you guys are in the middle of kissing. And this time you’re breaking apart. So,

Steffy: No, no– I– ha. Ha. You’re so funny.

Finn: I have to say, it is probably hard not to… interrupt us kissing.

Taylor: I know the struggle is real. I see it. And it makes me so happy for both of you.

Steffy: I think I know what would make you happier. If, like, dad were here with you, especially in this cute number. It’s really amazing. Why is it, like, too early to parent trap?

Taylor: You know, speaking of parent trapping. Brooke came by very heated and told me what you did. Steffy, I know– I know that you have the best intentions. But hey, please don’t ever do anything shady like that again.

Steffy: Shady? Me? I did dad a favor. I saved him from being summoned back to brooke’s house. You know he’d rather be here, mom.

Thomas: Bowling? That’s what you want to do this week? Because I’m always throwing gutter balls. No. What? Ah, there it is.

Douglas: Just like you say, you just got to keep practicing, dad.

Thomas: You want the apple, huh?

Brooke: Mm hmm. Yeah. Well, I haven’t seen my grandson in a long time.

Douglas: Hey, you want to come bowling with us on the weekend?

Thomas: Hey, you know what? I think that brooke is probably always busy. She’s got a slam packed schedule, so. Ah, you know what? Why don’t you go out and see donna? She said she’d look after you while I was at work.

Douglas: Um, good seeing you, grandma.

Brooke: Good seeing you, honey. See you soon, okay?

Douglas: Yeah.

Thomas: Have fun. Apple?

Brooke: No, thanks.

Thomas: Okay.

Brooke: We need to talk.

Thomas: What about? You know what? I’ve been cutting apples like that my entire life, so.

Brooke: Oh, no, no, not that. We need to talk about douglas coming home.

Thomas: Douglas is already home, brooke.

Brooke: He hasn’t been at his other home for a very long time. A home where he feels safe. And hope certainly doesn’t play with knives.

Thomas: Will you let that go?

Brooke: No, I won’T. Not if you expect him to be here with you.

Thomas: Okay, fine. I will use a peeler next time.

Brooke: Look, don’t make fun, okay? Because I will always watch out for douglas. I will always protect him.

Thomas: That’s not your job, brooke. I can protect my son. Now, if that’s all.

Brooke: No, that’s not all. Hope told me that you knew what steffy did the other night, intercepting my phone call to ridge.

Thomas: I was there. Yeah.

Brooke: Yeah. Well, that’s enough. No more attack on my marriage. By you, your mother, steffy. Just stay out of it. None of you can sabotage my relationship with ridge.

[ Taylor exasperated sigh ]

Taylor: If it’s meant to be, it will happen.

Steffy: Look how things are turning around for our family. The next logical move is dad finally coming to his senses and getting back with you.

Taylor: Well, I don’t know how logical it is. But just to shut you up, I’m going to say, “I’ll buy it.”

Steffy: Good. Great.

Ridge: What are you buying? Don’t buy anything. Whatever it is, don’t buy fuzzy bears. Because I tried that once, and I don’t want to compete with you.

Taylor: Oh, god. I don’t know if I can compete with such fuzzy cuteness. And the bears are cute, too, huh?

Steffy: They’re adorable, dad.

Finn: Kelly is going to flip out, in a good way.

Ridge: Where are the kids?

Steffy: Out with amelia. But if you wait around, you could give it to them. We could do another, like, family dinner.

Ridge: Yeah, we could do that. Let me just check with brooke. Yeah, you know, but my phone doesn’t seem to work here.

Steffy: Oh, she told you about that?

Ridge: You knew she was going to tell me about it.

Steffy: Yeah. I just felt it was like the right moment for all of us to be together. I hope you’re not mad.

Ridge: No. If you want to be my secretary, you can go ahead and answer my phone. But if you don’t, then please let me do it.

Steffy: I get it. I completely get it. I thought it was just a really nice, you know, dinner we were having. And we were all laughing and really enjoying each other’s company. And you two were, like reconnecting. I hope we have more nights like that. I really do. Life… doesn’t stop for diabetes.

Thomas: Okay. Look, brooke. You are kind of like spiraling right now, so you need to ease up on the dramatics. There’s no reason to overreact about a phone call.

Brooke: It was completely inappropriate for steffy to interfere.

Thomas: Was there some sort of emergency? A real reason for interrupting our entire family?

Brooke: No. I don’t need an emergency to talk to my own husband.& I was planning a very special evening for us.

Thomas: Oh, special evening. It have to do with a red teddy and some giggling. You know what? He has seen that so many times, it’s probably just boring.

Brooke: Doesn’t matter what I had planned. The fact is, steffy shouldn’t have intercepted my phone call to my husband.

Thomas: Okay. Maybe. I mean… is that really the reason why you’re hounding me about this?

Brooke: No. I don’t want to argue with you, thomas. I don’T. I just want you to respect my marriage with your father. And it’s time for douglas to come home. He needs to get back into his routine.

Thomas: He has a routine, right here.

Brooke: Well, this is like an extended sleepover, and it needs to end. He has to come home.

Thomas: Says who? You? Look, this is between hope and me. So, stay out of it. I know that it’s going to be really, really, really hard for you. But please, stay out of our lives.

Ridge: I enjoyed the other night and we’ll do it again. If it doesn’t happen tonight, we’ll find some other time. I promise.

Steffy: And I promise not to confiscate any phones.

Ridge: Good. What was I doing when you were talking to brooke anyway? Where was I?

Steffy: You and finn– I think you guys were having like a– I don’t know. Some kind of, like dad competition. Dad joke competition.

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: You guys were laughing. And mom, you were like, groaning. That’s exactly what was happening.

Taylor: Yes, yes. And I have to say, finn won fair and square.

Finn: Thank you.

Ridge: Really though?

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: Come on.

Taylor: Yes, he did. The bubbles joke? Come on.

Ridge: All right. All right.

Steffy: Do you see them looking at each other?

Finn: Same as when you were young.

Steffy: Exactly.

Ridge: What look is that?

Steffy: As if there’s nowhere else you’d rather be. This is exactly what thomas and I wanted. Our family together. The forresters winning. And it really does feel like we are winning. Thomas is having real time with douglas. My husband is back, and that is such a miracle. And you two are getting closer. We’ve had so much time apart. I just feel this genuine connection. This feeling right now. We could feel it every single day. I can’t help but repeat myself because I see it. You two belong together. Dad just come home. Go back to mom. I’m jonathan lawson

Brooke: So, you expect me to sit back and say nothing about what you’re doing to my daughter and my grandson? No.

Thomas: What am I doing besides stepping up and providing a good, solid home for my son?

Brooke: You are using him.

Thomas: How? Like, for what purpose?

Brooke: To create problems for ridge and me.

Thomas: Okay. This– this may be really hard for you to understand, brooke. But me stepping up and being a great father to my son, reconnecting with him, it’s not about you.

Brooke: Okay, wait. So, you think you’re the influence that douglas needs? I mean, thomas, are you going to just pretend you haven’t had issues in the past?

Thomas: Yeah, you know what? I have had issues. I have. And I think I’ve worked through them. But if I had tons of issues, you might want to look in the mirror to see where they came from.

Brooke: Oh, wow. So now you’re blaming me for all the terrible things that you’ve done.

Thomas: You talk about influence on a child. I think about you and how you were always lurking around my entire family and what you did, hurting my grandmother and my mother. This oversexed, gold digger just bulldozing her way through my entire family. My father, my grandfather, my uncle. And you know what? I heard– I heard about the things that you said behind my back. I know what you said. You think that doesn’t affect a child? It does.

Brooke: Okay. So, me stepping in as your stepmother, when your mom was gone, that gives you reason for all those bad mistakes and decisions you made your entire life. No, I don’t think so.

Thomas: This is just classic you. Not taking any responsibility. Of course, you wouldn’t take responsibility. You know, that doesn’t really matter to me, because steffy and I, we’re moving past this whole thing.

Brooke: Oh. Well, that is a relief.

Thomas: We’re putting it behind us because the forrester’s are finally rising up. Yes, brooke, I am talking about my mother and father. Their time together has finally come.

Ridge: You want the family back together? I know. I know how much that would mean to you.

Steffy: You know what it would mean to you? The difference it would make for you and for mom?

Ridge: Are you– I see your mother and I– and I see your husband. And these are two people who have dedicated their lives to helping others. And– and– I mean, that’s a choice, right? That’s a choice you make in your life. And I look at my choices and my life. Honestly… I– as long as I can remember, I’ve been selfish. Everything I did still is selfish.

Taylor: Ridge, you don’t– you don’t need to apologize.

Ridge: I’m not. I don’t– I don’t know– I don’t know if– um, I wish thomas was here right now because I have to say this. I have to say to you and I almost have to say it so I can hear it. I’ve made bad choices all my life. And they’ve affected my kids, especially when they were younger. And now… I’m standing in your house and I look at this guy. This amazing person, your husband. Doesn’t mean he’s amazing because he saves people. Yes, that’s part of it. But the amazing thing is you come home.

[ Ridge exhaling ] Oh. You– you take care of your family. And your kids are going to grow up knowing what a father and what a husband should look like, and that’s important.

Finn: Thanks, ridge. That means a lot. And you’re right. I will always come home to steffy and the kids.

Ridge: I know. That’s my point. That’s what I’m saying. Of course, you’ll come home because you’re going to take care of these guys. You are going to take care of your family. I mean, you’re not going to be sidetracked by some– you’re not going to be– you’re the– the father, the husband that I should have been.

Steffy: Dad, you did the best you could.

Ridge: The best I could, steffy. That doesn’t compare to what you deserve. Both of you. I’m sorry. Hi, I’m karen.

Taylor: You know, it’s a shame steffy and finn had to go to work.

Ridge: You know, I think steffy made up that meeting so we could be alone.

Taylor: You think?

Ridge: I meant what I said earlier about bad choices. I could have been a better dad. Definitely could have been a better husband.

Taylor: Well, hindsight really is 20/20, isn’t it? It never does any good to hold on to feelings of guilt and shame about the past. I mean, we all do it but–

Ridge: Yeah. What I do know is that when you came back all those years ago, that was it. That was our time to be together as a family. The five of us. It’s what thomas wanted. Steffy. Phoebe. But I couldn’t give it to them. I had to walk away from them. I turned my back on you and a beautiful family.

Taylor: But, it’s all being healed now.

Ridge: Really?

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah, because– because time heals all– most wounds.

Ridge: Huh.

Taylor: Listen. You know, of course our marriage breaking up left an imprint on our children. Of course, it did. Ridge, they were so young, and they didn’t even have the emotional capacity to process what was happening. So, they– they learned to cope. Steffy– steffy became the strong one. She doesn’t want anyone to do anything for her because she doesn’t want to risk being let down. And phoebe, all she wanted was love and family. And thomas. Thomas was the sensitive one, for sure. And he’s the one who got lost. It affected him the most.

Ridge: Because of me.

Taylor: No, ridge.

Ridge: Yes, because of me.

Taylor: Because of all the confusion. So much confusion. That the past is just a trail we leave behind. It doesn’t– just tells us where we’ve been. It doesn’t tell us where we’re going. That’s what now is for, right now. And yeah, we can– we can– we can imagine the future wisely. We can– we can see what it is that we want to create, what we desire, what makes us feel good. How we want to love. And be loved back. Kind of like right now. Right now.

Brooke: Even if you’re right and you’re not. But let’s just say that ridge and taylor do get together. It’s not like I’m going to be out of your life for good. I have forrester children.

Thomas: You’re right. And you did your best to ruin their lives, too. I mean, gosh, I only had to spend like part time with you. But them, it was like full time. Rick, rj, bridget. I mean, it’s kind of interesting actually, because all of them decided to leave los angeles, almost like they’re getting away from you.

Brooke: How dare you?

Thomas: It was hope though. She’s the only one who keeps justifying all the things that you have done. But you know what? I feel for her. Because she actually had to spend her entire childhood with you.

Brooke: Yeah. Well, then how did she turn out to be such a good person and somebody that you could trust with your child?

Thomas: Dumb luck, recessive gene kicking in, who knows?

Brooke: It’s really not fair that you would blame me for all of your bad behavior.

Thomas: I just wonder what it would have been like if I had the chance, the opportunity to grow up without you as a mother.

Brooke: So, because of my influence, you turned into the kind of person that would lie about a baby being dead or think that kidnapping is a courtship. And I’m not even going to mention the mannequin. To think about what you put my daughter through. And you really wonder why I’m so worried that douglas is here alone with you.

Thomas: Worry all you want, brooke. I don’t really care what you think. And soon my dad won’t either.

Brooke: No, that’s not true.

Thomas: You know, my mother is a thousand times the woman that you are. And her and my father, they are getting closer because they’re meant to be. I mean, that kiss in monaco. That was meant to happen. A day is coming and soon will be, when your reign and your grip over my father and my family ends. Mark my words, brooke, they will end.
