Update written by Joseph

Brady is at home on the phone with his son Tate. Kristen appears with mistletoe. Brady hangs up and questions what she is doing. Kristen points out that they are under a mistletoe and she’s sure he remembers what that means.

Sloan answers the door to see Nicole and questions what she’s doing there as Nicole sees Sloan and Eric in towels. Nicole tells Eric that she could ask him the same thing.

EJ tells Johnny that Susan was one of a kind and loved him very much. Johnny says it feels like just yesterday that Susan was there with them, enjoying Halloween and now it’s almost Christmas and she’s gone. EJ says that’s courtesy of Ava Vitali.

Ava and her vision of Charlie look over her bomb in the DiMera Crypt. Ava states that it has enough power to wipe out half the church. Ava declares that when EJ shows up at Susan’s funeral, he’s going to be the one resting in pieces.

Brady questions Kristen constructing a paper mistletoe just to hold it over his head. Kristen clarifies that Rachel made it in art class and she hoped that they could hang it together. Brady complains about Kristen encouraging Rachel’s fantasies about them getting together. Kristen claims that she’s encouraging Rachel’s creativity. Brady suggests an art project on the plant that saved Marlena’s life since that’s the only reason Kristen is staying here. Kristen argues that he doesn’t have to continue to remind her. Kristen tells Brady that today is Susan’s memorial so she wants to be there for EJ. Brady can’t believe her as he’s pretty sure that EJ doesn’t want Kristen anywhere near the church. Kristen tells him not to worry because she has a plan. Kristen then exits. Brady wonders aloud what could possibly go wrong.

EJ tells Johnny that Ava took so much from them. Johnny complains that he trusted her and cared for her but he had no idea how damaged she was, that she was capable of kidnapping Susan and driving off the road. EJ admits that even he didn’t think Ava would go that far, but he saw it with his own eyes. Johnny says it must have been horrible for him. EJ responds that he thought it would be the last time he saw either one of them, until he saw Ava at Thanksgiving.

Ava’s vision of Charlie asks if she’s having second thoughts about blowing EJ up. Ava responds that she was just thinking of how great it would be if all of her other enemies could get what’s coming to them too, starting with Nicole.

Eric questions how Nicole found him. Nicole explains that when Roman told her that he didn’t come home last night, she had a pretty good idea of where he might be. Sloan asks if she just started knocking on random doors. Nicole says she used to be a reporter, so it took about ten seconds to track down her address. Sloan calls her a stalker. Nicole walks in despite Sloan pointing out that she didn’t invite her. Nicole questions Eric sleeping with Sloan. Eric confirms that he is and asks what’s it to her.

Marlena and John meet in the town square as they finish Christmas shopping. Marlena tells him about getting Johnny a camera drone and some troll dolls for Holly but she doesn’t know if they will see Holly much over Christmas because of Nicole and Eric. John says they’ll just have to drop that off at Nicole’s and asks if she had any luck finding something for Rachel. Marlena confirms that she did and got her a junior marine biologist kit which excites John. Marlena points out that they both know they can’t give Rachel what she really wants for Christmas and that’s her parents being back together.

Sister Mary Moira appears at John and Marlena’s and complains about the Marlena doll that Susan had given her being evil. Brady remembers Kristen dressing up as Susan and says nice try Kristen.

Nicole calls Eric unbelievable. Sloan argues that Nicole is the one skulking around town, trying to catch Eric with other women. Nicole tells her to stay out of it but Sloan points out that she’s standing in the middle of her apartment, so she’s in it. Eric asks Sloan to give them a minute and promises it won’t take long. Sloan then goes to get dressed. Nicole asks what is wrong with Eric. Eric says nothing. Nicole says five minutes ago, they were planning their future together and now he’s getting in drunken bar fights and hooking up with trashy lawyers. Eric asks how dare she judge him for sleeping with Sloan when she’s hooking up with EJ.

Johnny questions EJ saying he saw Ava on Thanksgiving and asks how that’s possible. EJ admits he had a lot to drink and ended up on the crash site, where Ava was taunting and tormenting him. Johnny questions it being real. EJ explains that Tony and Chad showed up and Ava disappeared, so it wasn’t real and was likely a toxic combination of too much booze and even more guilt. EJ calls it ironic that in death, Ava made him feel as crazy as she was. Johnny is sorry he’s going through this. EJ thanks him for being here with him. Johnny hopes that laying Susan to rest will bring him some kind of peace as they hug. Johnny then exits the room.

Ava tells her vision of Charlie that Nicole destroyed her relationship with Rafe and then just moved on like nothing happened while making a pit stop with Eric Brady in between. Charlie remarks that she moves fast and asks if she and EJ are a couple now. Ava says that Nicole is living in his house so she asks what he thinks. Charlie agrees that she needs to get her comeuppance. Ava says the good news is that Nicole will most likely be accompanying EJ to the funeral which means she can kill two birds with one bomb.

John tells Marlena that this has to be really confusing for Rachel since her parents are living in the same house but they’re not together. Marlena says they know Brady moved Kristen in under duress but she just wonders why. John says he knows that Rachel was doing a lot better when Kristen was gone as they all were and that’s why they have to get Kristen out of their house and out of Brady’s life for good. Marlena then gets an idea.

Sister Mary Moira tells Brady that she came to see Marlena ahead of Susan’s funeral. Brady continues believing she is Kristen dressed as Sister Mary Moira and says this is never going to work. She insists that she is actually Sister Mary Moira. Brady questions her and asks if Sister Mary Moira would be okay with this as he raises the mistletoe and then kisses her.

Kristen goes to the DiMera Mansion and asks EJ for a drink which he gives to her. EJ says she can thank him by leaving. EJ questions what the hell she’s doing here. Kristen asks where else she would be to say goodbye to Susan. Kristen wants to be there for him at the funeral but EJ says over his dead body.

Nicole tells Eric that she and EJ are not sleeping with each other. Nicole says EJ just offered her and Holly a place to stay and it’s just temporary. Eric calls that so generous of him. Eric suggests Nicole should be spending her time looking for apartments instead of keeping track of him. Nicole says she’s worried about him. Eric asks if she was that worried when she encouraged Jada to have an abortion. Nicole asks if that’s why he’s flushing his life down the drain and argues that Jada made a choice, not her. Eric responds that he’s making choices too. Nicole calls them bad choices. Eric says one minute he thought they were going to be together and then they weren’t just like how he was about to be a father and then he wasn’t. Nicole argues that it’s been rough for everyone and that Eric drowning in self pity is not him. Eric asks who the hell he is then. Nicole calls him a good person who is loved and respected while Eric feels he was walked all over which Nicole disagrees with. Eric declares that he realized now while people like Nicole and Sami enjoy being so selfish and sabotaging because they do what they want without worrying about any consequences. Eric understands there’s a bit of rush to it and asks who wants to be the good twin when there’s so much fun being the bad twin.

Ava, in disguise, plants the bomb underneath the memorial table at the church. Ava looks at a framed photo of Johnny and Susan. Ava’s vision of Charlie asks if she’s reminiscing over her adventures in near cradle robbing. Ava states that Johnny was kind to her when EJ was declaring war and Gabi was trying to manipulate her. Ava says that Johnny was on her side and wonders if things would’ve been different if she just let him in to her life. Charlie remarks that Ava may have been Johnny’s cougar fantasy at one point, but now she’s just the crazy lady who killed his grandmother. Ava tells him to go away. Charlie argues that she doesn’t really want that. Ava says she appreciates him helping with her plan but she can do this on her own, so she doesn’t need him here. Charlie reminds her that he’s always with her as her vision of him then disappears. Ava puts the photo down as Johnny then arrives and calls out to her, asking if she’s a friend of Susan’s. Johnny says they aren’t quite ready yet and suggests she wait outside.

Sister Mary Moira is shocked by Brady kissing her. Brady then realizes his mistake and that she really is Sister Mary Moira. She questions what is wrong with him. Brady apologizes and calls it a total mistake. She then pulls out a ruler and starts smacking Brady with it.

Kristen acknowledges that EJ has hated her ever since she sided with Gabi in the DiMera vote. EJ responds that this has nothing to do with business. Kristen questions why he’s being so hostile then. EJ brings up how Kristen treated Susan when she was alive. Kristen admits that they didn’t always get along. EJ argues that Kristen tried to take him away from Susan when he was a baby. Kristen thought they got past that. EJ says she may have but Susan never did and was forever traumatized by what Kristen and Stefano did. EJ tells Kristen that her whole all about family act is not going to work this time because she doesn’t give a damn about him or Susan. EJ adds that Kristen is the last person that Susan would want at her funeral. EJ tells Kristen to get the hell out and let him grieve in peace. Kristen then turns and exits the mansion.

Sloan comes back and comments on Nicole still being there. Eric says that she was just leaving. Nicole tells Eric to enjoy his afternoon delight and says not to say she didn’t warn him as she then exits. Sloan asks if Eric is sure he doesn’t want to go after Nicole and if he’s okay. Eric assures that he’s good and there’s nothing to worry about. Sloan says she’s glad to hear that. Sloan notes that Nicole did make one solid point, that they still have time for love in the afternoon before she has to go to work. Eric likes the way she’s thinking, so they begin kissing.

John questions Marlena wanting him to get close to Kristen again, reminding her that he tried once before and it didn’t work out so well. Marlena clarifies that she doesn’t want him to seduce Kristen, but to be her friend and play on their long history while convincing her that she can trust him. John questions if Kristen would buy in to that. Marlena points out that her family is forsaken and her friend is in prison, so she feels Kristen would be looking for someone to confide in now. John admits it could work and once Kristen is vulnerable enough, he should be able to get her to tell him what she’s holding over Brady’s head. John asks where they start. Marlena thinks she has a way to persuade Kristen to let down her guard. John says the more he thinks about it, the more he likes her plan. John decides if they’re going to get Kristen out of their house, they have to start right now. Marlena asks him what about Susan’s memorial. John tells her to pay respects for both of them because Susan of all people would understand they are trying to save Brady and Rachel from Kristen DiMera. John then walks away.

Kristen returns home to Brady, who is icing his wrist. Kristen comments that he looks like he had a worse day than she did. Brady says she can bet on that. Brady thought she was going to the funeral. Kristen responds that EJ was not interested in her comfort. Brady says he tried to warn her of that. Kristen says so much for family and asks what happened to his hand. Brady explains that he got a visit from Sister Mary Moira, who let herself in, and when he saw her, he jumped to the wrong conclusion that it was Kristen in disguise because it was something she would do. Brady says by the time she convinced him it was really her, it was too late. Kristen questions what he did. Brady admits that he tried to call her bluff by using the mistletoe and kissing her. Kristen laughs at Brady making out with a nun while Brady says it’s not funny. Kristen asks if she freaked out. Brady feels he freaked out as they both were. Kristen continues laughing about it and then asks what would’ve happened next if it was her that he kissed.

Nicole goes home to the DiMera Mansion and pours a drink. EJ asks if everything is alright. Nicole informs him that she just found Eric in Sloan’s apartment and they were wearing only towels. EJ asks if they are together now. Nicole says they are at least for one night. EJ jokes that he didn’t know Eric had it in him to have a one night stand. EJ feels this proves how beneath her Eric truly is. Nicole acknowledges that Eric is troubled and says she shouldn’t be dumping this on EJ, especially today. EJ says it’s fine as he’d much rather be sharing a drink with her than his last visitor. Nicole asks who it was. EJ informs her that Kristen showed up, wanting to accompany him to Susan’s funeral. Nicole calls that nice of her. EJ reminds her that Kristen spent decades tormenting Susan. Nicole understands why he wouldn’t want Kristen to come to the service. EJ points out that Kristen was the only one of his siblings who were available. Nicole questions his brothers not coming. EJ explains that Tony and Anna are visiting Carrie and her family for the holidays, Stefan is dealing with a supply chain crisis at DiMera, and Chad is still grieving Abigail so he couldn’t put him through another funeral so soon. EJ states that it will just be he and Johnny and he doesn’t even know where they stand these days. Nicole offers to go with EJ.

Johnny approaches Ava in disguise from behind but Sister Mary Moira arrives at the church, crying and complaining, which takes Johnny’s attention away. They start to talk and Johnny mentions how hard this must be for her. Sister Mary Moira responds that she wasn’t complaining about that but about Johnny’s uncle, Brady Black which Johnny questions. She responds that Brady gave in to his carnal urges and kissed her which shocks Johnny. She remarks that it tasted like coffee and sin. Johnny tells her to hold that disturbing thought but when he turns around Ava is gone as Johnny says there was a woman right there. Johnny then questions where she is.

Eric and Sloan finish having sex. Sloan thinks they’re going to need another shower and invites Eric to shower with her. Eric says that sounds nice but he has to get to his brother’s. Sloan jokes that he’s no fun. Eric offers to let her go first but she says he can go if he’s in a hurry. Sloan adds that if Eric wants to come back tonight, they can pick up where they left off. Eric says he may take her up on that and goes to shower.

Kristen calls it a thought experiment and asks about if Brady kissed her because history shows that a kiss rarely stops at just a kiss. Kristen recalls times when they would be kissing each other goodbye and then they would suddenly be taking each others’ clothes off and heading straight back to the bedroom. Kristen asks why Brady keeps fighting this when they both know it’s still there between them. Brady tells her to stop. Kristen argues that she knows Brady wants her as much as she wants him. Kristen goes to kiss Brady when John comes home and sees them. Brady quickly moves away. John reminds Brady that he has a meeting. Brady thanks him and says he better get going so he hurries out the door. John remarks to Kristen that it looks like it’s just the two of them.

EJ thanks Nicole for her offer and says it means a lot but asks if she really wants to risk being seen with him in public again. Nicole decides she doesn’t care about that anymore because EJ is her friend and she wants to be there for him. EJ says in that case, they better get ready. Nicole decides to go change. EJ thanks her.

Johnny walks outside the church and greets Marlena as she arrives. Marlena notes him seeming distracted. Johnny tells her that he was just looking for a woman who was in the chapel and looking at pictures but when he tried to talk to her, she wouldn’t turn around. Marlena says that seems a bit odd. Johnny says he turned away for a moment and then she was gone. Marlena asks if he never saw her face. Johnny says she was wearing a big hat and had weird vibes but he just wanted to make sure she was okay. Marlena suggests people just deal with grief in different ways. Marlena thinks they should get inside. Johnny says he’ll be right behind her so Marlena tells him not to be long and heads inside.

Marlena enters the church and finds Sister Mary Moira praying. She tells Marlena that it’s good to see her. Marlena tells her that John is sorry he couldn’t be here today. Sister Mary Moira responds that it isn’t John who needs to apologize, but his son Brady that needs to atone. Marlena questions what Brady did. She explains that she came to see Marlena and instead, her stepson ravished her.

Brady meets Eric in the town square. Eric thanks him for coming. Brady says they have a lot to talk about and asks if it’s true that he was arrested and spent a night in jail. Eric remarks that great news travels fast in Salem. Brady asks what’s going on with him since he missed a whole day at work and he had to reschedule the entire summer swimsuit shoot and rebook the models. Eric apologizes. Brady says it cost him a lot of money and if he wasn’t his brother, he’d probably have to fire him. Eric responds that he’ll save him the trouble and tells Brady that he quits.

Marlena questions Sister Mary Moira saying that Brady kissed her in a romantic way. She argues there was nothing romantic about it but she’s been praying ever since. Marlena doesn’t understand why Brady would do that. She explains that Brady claimed he thought she was Kristen. She guesses that Kristen corrupted Brady’s soul and remarks that Marlena and John should have done a better job keeping Brady away from Kristen. Marlena responds that they are working on that.

John brings Kristen a beer. Kristen asks why he isn’t as Susan’s memorial with Marlena. John calls it a long story. Kristen says she’s got time. John claims that he and Marlena got in to a dispute while Christmas shopping. Kristen jokes about Salem’s greatest lovers having a fight. John calls it a difference of opinion. Kristen asks what they could possibly fight about. John responds that it was actually about her.

EJ and Nicole arrive at the church. Marlena tells EJ that she’s so sorry. EJ thanks her for being there. Marlena says Susan was a friend and she will miss her as they hug. EJ goes to say hi to his aunt, Sister Mary Moira. Marlena then greets Nicole and says she’s sorry about what happened between her and Eric. Nicole thanks her but thinks Marlena should check on Eric since he’s going through some things. Marlena asks if Nicole is here with EJ. Nicole clarifies that they are here as friends since his brothers couldn’t make it, so she thought she would show support. Marlena calls that kind of her. EJ approaches a flower arrangement which he finds was sent from Sami. Marlena calls that very thoughtful. The priest enters and asks if they are ready to start but EJ says they can’t start yet because Johnny isn’t there. Sister Mary Moira and Marlena mention seeing him earlier so they wonder where he could be.

Johnny finds Ava in disguise outside the church. Ava removes her sunglasses and confirms to Johnny that it’s her.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Phyllis: Summer.

Summer, stop. Okay? So, I want to know what you think. Give me an answer. Jack laid down the hammer. He thinks I should be fired. But then you got into the elevator. What do you think?

Summer: I’m here to pick up my take-out and then go back to the office. You really didn’t need to follow me here.

[ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Ugh.

Summer: I don’t want to discuss this in public.

Phyllis: I do.

Summer: I am telling you, mom, this can wait until I get back to the office.

Phyllis: No. I’m sorry. It cannot. So, jack wants me fired, but he’s leaving it up to you and kyle. What do you think? Are you firing me?

Sharon: Where did connor run off to?

Chelsea: Oh, uh, he went to chancellor park to play soccer with a friend.

Sharon: Soccer? Really? In this cold weather?

Chelsea: Oh. Yeah. That boy would play in 10 feet of snow if he could.

Sharon: And why didn’t you go to the park with him? I mean, despite it’s a cold day, but it’s a beautiful day. Wouldn’t it be nice to get out and get some fresh air? Chelsea, what’s going on? Why do you look so uncomfortable?

Chelsea: I’m not uncomfortable. I’m fine. Really. Okay, maybe that’s not truthful. Being out in the world again just feels very strange for me, you know? Even though I wasn’t in that hospital for very long, everything seems new and very, um, intimidating.

Sharon: That’s understandable.

Chelsea: I mean, crimson lights is the only place I feel safe venturing out to because it’s so close to my apartment. I mean, I know that sounds so silly, but it — everything else just feels terrifying.

Sharon: And that’s what made you feel anxious?

Chelsea: [ Inhales deeply ] It’s ridiculous, isn’t it?

Sharon: No, no, not at all. I’m — I’m glad that you feel comfortable and safe up in your apartment and down here in the coffeehouse, but it might be time for you to take a step or two outside of your comfort zone.

Chelsea: I know. You’re right. I mean, I’ve got errands to run, and I keep just pushing them off or asking billy or adam to help me. That’s not fair to them. And it’s not fair to connor that he can’t spend the day at the park with his mom.

Sharon: So, take that step. You can do it.

Chelsea: It just feels like walking out those doors right now would be taking on the entire world. And I’m just not sure I’m ready for that step.

Nikki: So, we have a lot of things we have to take care of while victoria’s out of town. We have some important meetings, and we’re also expecting some proposals.

Nick: Well, the proposals are time-sensitive, so I will work on those. That will expedite the process. Then you can focus on the bigger picture, which is running the business while vick’s gone.

Nikki: Actually, I thought i would handle the proposals and you can take the lead at the meetings.

Nick: Mom, you’re the co-ceo. Why would you want me to run the meetings?

Nikki: Because I think it would be good for the company for you to demonstrate some leadership.

Nick: Huh. You’re not suggesting that I be co-ceo or even ceo of newman, right?

Nikki: Oh, no, not at all. Victoria is doing a wonderful job. Victor and I have no plans to replace your sister or me.

Nick: Alright. That’s good to know.

Nikki: I mean, down the line, I would love to see you take over my position. But right now, I’m happy watching my children step up and shine the way I know they can. With the exception of your personal life.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Skin your face will envy?

Nikki: Mom, personal lives are personal for a reason. That’s why this topic is not up for discussion.

Nikki: Your father is quite concerned about your involvement with sally.

Nick: Oh, I know. He hasn’t held back at all.

Nikki: Well, it’s about more than just his opinion of her. He’s worried that the tension between you and your brother could be made even worse.

Nick: I’m not gonna waste my life worrying about what adam thinks. If we didn’t have conflict over this, we’d find something else, mom, because that is the nature of our relationship.

Nikki: And I agree that maybe the two of you will never get along. Let’s keep the focus on sally for now. It doesn’t sound like you read the dossier that your father gave to you about her. If you had, you would learn that she faked a terminal illness.

Nick: Yeah, I heard about that.

Nikki: Well, good, ’cause i didn’t want to be the one to break it to you. But now that you know, do you really want to bring another ashland locke into the family?

Sharon: I think it would be a great idea for you to start venturing out. You know? After everything you’ve been through. Just think of how differently you’ll see the world now.

Chelsea: How so?

Sharon: The negative lens that you’ve been seeing through has shifted. Just think how refreshing it will be to see the world in a whole new light — less drab, hostile, hurtful.

Chelsea: That does sound nice.

Sharon: Well, of course not if you’re not ready. You know, it’s also important that you take things at your own pace and continue to consult with your therapist about everything every step of the way.

Chelsea: Yeah, dr. Malone agrees with you. She says I need to start re-engaging with the world, but slowly. You know, it’s like the errands. She wants me to take it step by step, with an end point in mind.

Sharon: That sounds like a good plan.

Chelsea: I’m trying to be more careful and deliberate instead of impulsive and reckless. You know? I’ve had all of these conversations, you know, making amends, and, quite frankly, they’ve been brutal, but also really helpful because it’s helped me reflect on the choices I’ve made so hopefully I can make better choices going forward.

Sharon: I’m so proud of you and the progress you’re making.

Chelsea: Well, saying these things out loud, facing the people I’ve hurt, facing my own shame, it helps me to stop letting the shame control me.

Sharon: See? This is why I got my degree in psychology. It is just so rewarding to see people escape their demons and start blossoming and flourishing, like you are now.

Chelsea: Well, before I do that, I think the universe wants me to finish making amends to all the people I’ve wronged.

Phyllis: Okay, yeah, i brought jeremy stark into town. So what? But, uh, I should get some credit because, um, when he asked me to help him find diane, what did I do? I didn’t tell him. I didn’t tell him anything about diane. I stopped right there. I shot him down.

Summer: At this point, mom, that counts for very little.

Phyllis: I mean, what is this? What has happened to us? My own daughter doesn’t believe me. For the last time, this is not my responsibility. This is what diane did. I didn’t do it. Nikki didn’t do it. Ashley didn’t do it. No one did it but diane.

Summer: Diane wouldn’t even be on stark’s radar right now if it wasn’t for you.

Phyllis: And stark wouldn’t even be here if it wasn’t for diane. And what she did in los angeles when she was lying to everybody, pretending she was dead — come on. This is her responsibility. She takes no accountability. And now she’s paying the price.

Summer: Yes, but everyone has a past, present company included. So, by your logic, does nobody deserve a second chance? Where would that leave either of us, hmm?

Phyllis: Okay. Where is this coming from? This is not how you feel about me, summer. You’re just taking jack’s lead, when he was rattling off my past history and using it against me.

Summer: Actually, I have defended you to jack so many times, earlier today included, but you make that really difficult.

Phyllis: You could say what you want, go ahead and claim what you want, but you haven’t trusted diane from the minute she arrived in town.

Nick: How can you even think about comparing sally and ashland? They’re nothing alike, mom.

Nikki: When sally was still in los angeles, she told everybody she was dying so she could manipulate them, just like ashland.

Nick: We have all done things in our life we are not proud of. But I know sally is not the same person she was in L.A. She’s worked very hard to make some changes in her life. And unlike ashland, sally has learned from her mistakes, and she’s determined to do things the right way.

Nikki: She tried to ruin summer’s life. Summer and kyle almost didn’t find their way back to each other because of what sally did.

Nick: But they did. And that trip to milan turned out to be one of the best things to ever happen to summer’s life. Now, as summer’s father, obviously I don’t condone what sally did to her. But I can see both sides, and I’ve made peace with it.

Nikki: I am so disappointed to hear you say that.

Nick: Well, mom, I’m sorry you and dad don’t agree with this, but whoever I choose to spend my time with is nobody’s business but my own.

Nikki: And I understand that. But aren’t you the least bit concerned about this might affect your relationship with summer?

Nick: No, because summer loves me and eventually she’s gonna see that I’m happy and that’s gonna be the only thing that matters to her.

Sally: Sorry. Am I interrupting something? Who says you have to spend more on skincare I’ve got the n, it’s just my

Sally: Well [Clears throat] Seems like I just walked in on something pretty intense.

Nick: Nah, it’s just my family, as usual, making their opinions known.

Sally: Anything I should be concerned about?

Nick: No. So, how’d I get so lucky? To what do I owe this surprise?

Sally: Well, I need some of that newman business savvy. I’ve got the numbers on my new business plan, so I was hoping maybe you could take a look and share some of your expertise.

Nick: See what you got. Hmm. I like what I see… on the tablet.

Sally: Really?

Nick: Yeah. I mean, it’s great. If I were you, I would bump up the budget just to allow for any variables that you may not have considered. This includes any tax liabilities or expendables. It’ll also give you some wiggle room in case you run into any supply-chain issues or price increases due to market fluctuations. But, I mean, it’s great. I admire your attention to detail.

Sally: Wow. That sounds great.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] I love the smile, but what’s it for?

Sally: Well, I don’t want to cross any lines, but you are very sexy when you talk all business-Y.

[ Chuckles ]

Victoria: Hi.

Sharon: Your usual, I assume?

Victoria: Yes. Thank you.

Sharon: Okay. It’ll be coming right out.

Victoria: Great. Hello, chelsea. How’s everything going?

Chelsea: Um, I’m just taking it one day at a time, trying to tackle some new challenges while also dealing with some past issues. You know, it’s a process.

Victoria: Good for you.

Chelsea: Thank you. Uh, I was wondering if I could take a moment of your time.

Victoria: Oh, actually, I’m — I’m meeting my car that’s taking me to the airport. I’m leaving on a business trip.

Chelsea: Oh. I understand. Well, maybe we can talk when you get back.

Victoria: Chelsea. Uh…on second thought, I-I do have a few minutes.

Phyllis: This has nothing to do with my feelings about diane.

Phyllis: It has everything to do about your feelings of diane. You must have seen how diane has affected your husband. Come on. She left him when he was a little boy. She broke his heart.

Summer: That’s not the point.

Phyllis: It is the point. It’s inevitable she’ll do it again, or she will be driven out of town or — oh, I didn’t ordered that, but thank you.

[ Chuckles ]

Adam: Hey, if your conversation’s a private one, you might want to consider keeping it down.

Phyllis: Okay.

Summer: [ Scoffs ]

Phyllis: Thanks.

[ Quietly ] What I was saying is

[Loudly] Why should I be punished when the inevitable is going to happen?

Summer: Okay, stop! Just stop! Have you ever considered that there might be more at play here than what you know? -Hi, dr. Rick. It’s julie. -[ Gasps ] That’s me. So, what is this about?

Chelsea: Uh, have a seat.

Chelsea: Uh, have a seat. Can I get you anything to drink or…

Victoria: Uh, no, thank you. Like I said before, I’m in a bit of a tight schedule. So, what is this about?

Chelsea: Um…okay. Uh, I asked you to come here so I could make amends. And I’m hoping you’ll be willing to hear me out. Victoria, I owe you an apology. And it’s long overdue.

Victoria: An apology? For what?

Chelsea: Well [Chuckles] I mean, it all started in myanmar. What I did to billy, obviously, was…horribly wrong. Uh, and I acknowledged that earlier, and I apologized to him. But the way I came to genoa city… I tried to destroy your marriage. And it was shameful and unacceptable.

Victoria: I don’t disagree with that. But it was a long time ago.

Chelsea: And more recently. The way I disrupted your family life with johnny. I was so insistent on telling him the truth that I was his biological mother, and I know it caused a lot of stress for you. It was very selfish of me. And I want you to know, truly, for any pain, for any turmoil i caused…I’m sorry.

Noah: You know, that’s kind of too fancy a word to me, but it sounds cool.

Allie: It’s not.

Sharon: Hey. What’s all the excitement about?

Allie: Hey.

Noah: Oh, nothing new. It’s just my girl’s a genius. But I’ve known that since day one.

Allie: I am not a genius, noah. I have just been researching the effectiveness of maceration versus distillation in the scent extraction process. And I had a pretty big breakthrough in my research, so I’m hoping to share that with ashley and some of the other execs at jabot. I think if we alter some of our processes, we could really meaningfully increase our production rates and profit margin.

Sharon: Oh, that’s great. Um, I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Noah: Yeah, neither do I. That’s how I know it’s genius.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Allie: Oh. It’s, uh, mariah.

Noah: Huh. My sister can’t even manage to text me, but she’s calling you. That’s cool.

Allie: Well, you know, maybe it’s about christmas, and maybe it’s none of your business.

Noah: Okay.

[ Chuckles ]

Nick: Alright. Somebody thinks I’m sexy.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: And business talk is her thing. In that case, I want to schedule the video conference call for 8:00 A.M. Sharp. We’ll go over the budget cuts extensively. And I want your report on my desk by the end of the day. Marge! Hold all my calls!

Sally: You know [Clears throat] Actually, I think I was wrong about the whole sexy thing.

Nick: I like spending time with you…working with you… laughing and spending time with you. I already said that part.

Sally: [ Laughs ]

Nick: I like it. I know you’re a very busy woman, but if you could fit me in your schedule, maybe you could pencil me in for, like, a dinner or something.

Phyllis: Wait a second. Wait a second. What are you — what are you saying? There’s more going on here than I, uh, know about?

Summer: You know what, mom? There are many levels of emotional fallout from what you did. I mean, did you even stop to think about how many people that you would be hurting in this, how it might affect harrison to have his grandmother ran out of town, for him to lose another important person in his life? Did you think about that?

Phyllis: Oh, diane is not that important to harrison.

Summer: He adores her. He’s already asking, “how many sleeps until dee dee gets back?” Okay? And did you even stop to imagine how hard this would be on kyle? He’s away on business now, so once again he has lost the opportunity to say goodbye to his mother, thanks to you.

Phyllis: Well, not thanks to me. Thanks to diane — because she decided to leave town. She should have stuck around a while longer.

Summer: [ Scoffs ] Did you even consider what the stress of what you did would do to my marriage?

Phyllis: Kyle will not blame you for any of this.

Summer: Maybe not. But if my husband is hurting, that’s gonna change things between the two of us. You know, we’re not even talking about the fact that as long as stark is in town, we could all be targeted.

Phyllis: We’re not targeted. His sole focus is diane. But once again, where is she? Oh, she disappeared. And now we’re stuck with stark.

Summer: Oh, okay. So, you’re just pointing the finger back at her?

Phyllis: Pretty much, yeah. And by the way, I helped diane out when I told stark that i would not help him find her. I shut him down. Do you understand that? It’s over. And I told him to go to los angeles.

Summer: Okay, so, now you’re taking a step back, you’re throwing your hands in the air and claiming that you tried? Mom, you have taken zero accountability for the repercussions of your thoughtless actions. Not to mention the lives that are at stake here. People that you claim to love.

Phyllis: Oh, wow. I guess I didn’t know how high the stakes were.

Summer: You don’t even care. Do you even want to know what kyle and I are thinking?

Phyllis: Um, not really, but — but I’m afraid to ask. So be — be — be nice. What are you thinking?

Summer: Kyle and I have already discussed everything, and we both agree with jack. Your employment at marchetti will be terminated effective immediately.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Sally: This feels good. Wonderful, in fact. You know, this whole thing is new to me, planning dates, taking things slow. I always felt like I was trying to outrun things with adam. But this…

Nick: I know what you mean. We can just enjoy the journey.

Sally: Look at us. We have all the time in the world. Except for right now. Unfortunately, I actually got a to-go order at society because i did not know where things stood between us and I — I definitely didn’t want to overstay my welcome. So, that was my way of giving myself a time limit, and i really need to go pick up my order.

Nick: Okay.

Sally: Sorry. But… I will pencil you in.

Sharon: Is allie still on the phone with mariah?

Noah: Yeah. Hopefully it’s a big surprise for me. I’m telling you, mom, allie is just…

[ Sighs ] She’s amazing. And brilliant. I’m really glad I get to spend another christmas here with the family and now with her, too. Okay, you don’t look nearly as happy as I do. Is something going on?

Sharon: I wanted to take a moment to speak with you before allie comes back.

Noah: Is something wrong?

Sharon: Audra was here earlier looking for you.

Victoria: I appreciate you making this effort to apologize. I can’t imagine how difficult that must have been for you. Especially since you and i haven’t had a particularly close relationship over the past years.

Chelsea: Yeah.

Victoria: I hope you know that I sincerely do want the best for you in your recovery. But I… I can’t help but having a few concerns.

Chelsea: You think I said all this to you because I still plan to push for a deeper relationship with johnny?

Phyllis: You’re firing me.

[ Laughs ] Wow, this is absolutely unbelievable.

Summer: I never wanted it to come to this.

Phyllis: Uh-huh. Diane — she’s not even in town, and she’s pulling the strings.

Summer: Mom, I told you what the consequences would be if this thing with diane got out of control, and you still decided to contact stark. So, I don’t know what you wanted me to do. Oh. Thank you so much.

[ Exhales sharply ] And you know what? While you’re so busy blaming diane, you’re not even taking a moment to stop and think about how you should be held accountable for your actions. I really hope that this is at least a learning experience for you. I brought in ensure max protein

Adam: Hi.

Sally: Hi.

Adam: I got to say, I’m a little surprised that you would, uh, choose to join me.

Sally: Well, you should be. I mean, I’m not afraid of running into you. I believe we came to a good and natural resolution to our relationship.

Adam: I’m glad you feel that way.

Sally: Besides, I’m just here to pick up my takeout. I would say that it is a surprise to run into you, but we seem to see each other everywhere we go, so…

Adam: Yeah.

Well, genoa city’s not that big, so it’s inevitable.

Sally: Well, you should be careful or you might lose your job if you don’t start showing up to jabot every once in a while.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Uh, work is work. And it’ll get done.

Sally: Well, with your drive and focus, jabot’s very lucky to have you. Newman’s loss is definitely their gain.

Adam: Losing jobs at newman is a trend for the current patrons of this bar.

Sally: Ohh. Ouch. But true. Now we’re just doing our best to move on.

Adam: So, how are you spending your time these days?

Lauren: Oh!

Michael: Hey, phyllis.

Lauren: Hi.

Phyllis: Mm.

Lauren: Are you dining alone?

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Hey, uh, lauren, I wanted to let you know that your advice to just, um, you know, let diane be and move on — uh, well, that was wrong. Her level of evil has affected all of us.

Michael: Mm. [ Chuckles ] Nice to see you again, phyllis. Maybe we should, uh, have a drink together before you tear my wife to shreds.

Phyllis: And you. You — you’re hired to keep tabs on people by victor. I mean, did you not notice diane’s huge skeleton in her L.A. Closet?

Michael: I’m not sure what you’re referring to.

Phyllis: Mm! Exactly my point. I mean, because of your negligence, diane is the damsel in distress and jack is her white knight. In fact, he’s thinking of going head-to-head with jeremy stark, one of the most dangerous men i have ever met in my life.

Lauren: Uh, who’s jeremy stark?

Michael: He’s an ex-con that diane got mixed up with in los angeles and now, according to victor’s investigators, is in genoa city for seemingly nefarious purposes. Oh, wait. [ Chuckles ] So, I did actually know who the skeleton is.

Phyllis: And diane, as you say, got mixed up with him, but, um, for some reason, I’m responsible for all the problems he’s creating.

Michael: I don’t know if you remember this, but I warned you early on to let this go. I told you that the potential losses weren’t worth trying to destroy diane.

Phyllis: What? Seriously? “I told you so”? That’s all you’re gonna say to me?

Michael: I also remember telling you that this could potentially bite you in the ass, which now seems to be the case.

Noah: Yeah, I can’t say I’m surprised audra asked you about me.

Sharon: Well, actually, she spoke to one of my baristas and I kind of overheard. But don’t worry. She didn’t say anything to audra. Um, I think I see a customer who needs help. I’m gonna…

Allie: You know, I have to say I am really impressed with audra’s level of confidence and entitlement.

Noah: That’s how she’s always been.

Allie: I mean, I-I just don’t understand how she still thinks there should ever be anything between you two. You have repeatedly told her it’s over, right? And nothing has happened since then?

Noah: [ Sighs ]

Allie: Like, you can’t think of anything you might have said or — or done that could have led her on in some way, right? Or can you?

Noah: No, no, not really.

Allie: I know there’s something that you haven’t told me. What is it? Who says you have to spend more on skincare

Victoria: You’re right. I am very curious to know what your intentions are in regards to johnny.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Let me assure you, my sole focus right now is getting better. I am not going after johnny. I am not going to do anything that’s gonna make either one of you uncomfortable.

Victoria: Well, that’s good to hear.

Chelsea: I’ve come to realize through working with my therapist that I think I was reaching out to johnny to fill some kind of void inside. And that wasn’t fair to him. And it certainly wasn’t fair to you. You’re an amazing woman who’s done an incredible job raising this beautiful boy.

Victoria: Thank you for saying that.

Chelsea: He’s a really lucky kid. So…thank you for all you’ve done for him.

Victoria: I love johnny. I love him more than words can say. I would do anything for him. The thought of losing him… I’m glad to hear that you want what’s best for johnny because that’s all that I want.

Noah: [ Sighs ] There is something that I need to tell you.

Allie: Okay. Whatever it is, I can handle it.

Noah: Audra came to see me at the club. Now, I figured she just wanted to talk more about the miscarriage, you know, actually have a real conversation for once, now that everything’s been aired out and I’ve had time to process the whole thing.

Allie: But that’s not what she wanted?

Noah: No. No, not by a long shot. She, uh… she made it abundantly clear, with no uncertain terms, that what she really wanted was me. She still thinks there’s this undeniable spark between the two of us, and, um… before I knew what was happening, she, uh — she kissed me.

Allie: She what?

Noah: I pulled away. You know, without any hesitation, I put a stop to it, but I guess she still was able to read into the situation more than there actually was.

Allie: What was there for her to read into? Did you respond to her? Noah, did you kiss her back?

Noah: I can’t —

Allie: Even for a little bit?

Noah: I can’t be sure. I just —

Allie: Oh, so, that’s why she won’t give up?

Noah: Look, I don’t know, alright? It was confusing. It all happened really fast.

Allie: Tell me, noah. Do I need to be worried?

Noah: [ Sighs ]

Sally: Actually, I am in the process of developing a business plan for an interior design company. So I actually don’t have an overwhelming amount of free time for personal matters at the moment.

Adam: Wow. Interior design. Wow, that’s how you’re choosing to follow up running newman media.

Sally: Yeah. Chloe and I are hoping to partner with chancellor-winters and design for their hotels, their offices, their entertainment venues. Once I get my foot in the door, I have no doubt that my company will be a success.

Adam: Well, your fierce optimism never ceases to impress me. I knew it wouldn’t be long until you landed on your feet. So, I wish you nothing but good fortune and success on your new venture. And believe it or not, I hope nick brings you the happiness that you deserve.

Sally: Thank you. I, uh — I appreciate that. And, yes, um, nick and I have decided to…officially start seeing each other. But, you know, we’re — we’re going slow.

Adam: You know, please don’t go slow on my account. You know, despite everything i said, I wish you both well.

Phyllis: “I told you so”? Really? That’s all you got for me? “I told you so”? Well, that’s great. Excuse me. My work is done here. Look at this guy — adam. Look at him. You know he’s co-ceo of jabot? Did you know that? I never see him there. I haven’t once seen him there. I just see him hanging around town, skulking, hanging out at bars. Jack doesn’t fire him. No. Me? All I’m doing is trying to save the abbott family and save my daughter. That’s all I’m doing. And I get fired.

Sally: Lauren.

Lauren: Sally.

Sally: Michael.

Michael: Hey.

Sally: Good to see you. Phyllis, it’s great to run into you, as well. This actually gives me the perfect opportunity to give you a heads-up. You might want to know that you may need to step up your game. I’m sure you haven’t heard yet ’cause we’re still finalizing the details, but pretty soon i am going to be your biggest competitor.

Phyllis: What fantasy are you spinning, sally?

Sally: Oh, it’s very real. Chloe and I are launching an interior design business. We’ll probably be going head-to-head with marchetti home. How exciting is that? Well, have a good day, you all. I know I will.

Lauren: Um…to the bar.

Michael: Yeah. Bottle of scotch with two straws. Bye.

Phyllis: Oh, my god. Everyone’s lost their damn mind.

[ Sighs ] A dental tool is round for a reason.

“The young and the restless”

will continue. Are you feeling sluggish

Kyle: How my mother ever allowed herself to get involved with a guy like you, I will never understand.

Jeremy: I wouldn’t expect you to.

Jack: Look, diane got involved in a lot of things in L.A. We didn’t know about. We certainly didn’t expect to be involved in this.

Kyle: Well, you don’t have to worry about it now. She’s gone. Whatever the truth is about what happened between you, you scared her enough where she ran out on us without as much as a goodbye.

Jack: I told you not to do this. This is taking us farther away from why we’re here.

Jeremy: Which is?

Jack: We just want to talk. Look, ever since you came to town, you have been very careful about not breaking the law. You’re too smart for that. Well, I am smart enough to get the message. You apparently can elude security at your will, and you are determined to settle whatever score you have with diane. Diane is gone to. God knows where.

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] How convenient.

Jack: Kyle and I had nothing to do with any of your business dealings with diane. We thought she was dead. There is nothing for you here now.

Jeremy: You wouldn’t happen to have stashed her away somewhere until I leave, would you?

Kyle: Hey, it is almost christmas, and my son is in tears, wondering why his grandmother isn’t there, and I have to figure out a way to explain to him when or even if we will ever see her.

Jack: Clearly, this is affecting my family. I would like to straighten this out now. Look, I offered you money before. You turned me down. Now that diane is out of the picture, we are as close as you are going to get to being reimbursed. So let’s work this out. You can go about your business, and we can get back to our lives in peace.

Jeremy: Hm. No promises. But… I’ll consider it.

Summer: I know that it’s going to take time for you to move on.

Phyllis: You know, you talk about being one big, happy family without any irony in your voice at all. It’s truly fantastic. You know, I sold my hotel so I could work with you.

Summer: But it wasn’t really about working together, and you know it.

Phyllis: All I wanted to do was protect you and support you. That’s all I wanted to do, summer. Yeah, it got messy. But something you should know is your hands get messy when you’re a mom and you’re trying to protect the people you love. And that’s what I was trying to do. And contrary to diane’s belief, no, no, it wasn’t about some petty resentment that I had toward her and her getting close to the abbotts and you and jack.

Summer: Mom, don’t try to pretend that that doesn’t bother you.

Phyllis: It bothers me because she’s trying to peddle some sanitized version of her life in los angeles, and she’s lying and I know she’s lying. I’ll never trust her.

Summer: Okay, well, not everyone despises her as much as you do.

Phyllis: Okay, you know what? You know what? That’s, um… yeah, kyle doesn’t despise her. He wants to believe her lies because it’s his mom, so I get it. But it leaves him susceptible to everything that she’s doing. She is lying, one lie after the other, and I’ve exposed everything, but nobody seems to care. And finally she was caught, and what did she do? Huh? She ran. That’s what she did. But she’s mother of the year, isn’t she?

Summer: I didn’t trust her, either. I defended you. But I’m sorry. I can’t justify you lying about kyle’s mom to a convicted criminal to get him to come after her. You put us all in danger, harrison included. And not only that, but you pitted me against my husband. You hurt me, mom. You betrayed me. Because your sole focus was driving diane away. That is why I fired you. This is on you.

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Chelsea: Well, thanks for spending this time with me.

Billy: No need to thank me. I had a good time.

Chelsea: Yeah, me, too. I think christmas is going to be a lot more meaningful this year, considering everything I’ve been through. Oh, and I have a gift for johnny. I haven’t wrapped it yet, but I will give it to you next time I see you. I know my last one was not a great idea.

Billy: Yeah, the baby blanket.

Chelsea: This one will be better.

[ Chuckles ] And you and victoria, you can decide the appropriate time to give it to him.

Billy: Okay.

Chelsea: And if it’s okay with you guys, I’m hoping the boys, johnny and connor, can spend some time together over the holidays.

Billy: Yeah, we’ll see if we can make that work. You know, I’ll talk to victoria about it.

Chelsea: I apologized to her earlier, the way I apologized to you. Seemed to go well, all things considered.

Billy: Good to know.

[ Knock on door ]

Chelsea: I’m hoping that will make victoria more amenable. You know, the boys have a great bond.

Billy: Mm.

Chelsea: I’m hoping we can encourage it. Hi, I’m angela.

Adam: Hi. I hope this isn’t a bad time. I just brought some gifts for you and for, um, connor. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to interrupt.

Billy: It’s okay. Just about to head out. Well [Clears throat] Thank you very much. I had a lovely time. And, of course, I’ll see you soon. Plenty of more classic movies to watch.

Chelsea: I’ll be sure to stock up on the popcorn.

Billy: Let me know if you need anything, okay?

Chelsea: Thanks.

Billy: Okay.

Chelsea: Bye.

Billy: Bye. Hey.

Adam: I’m still waiting on a few things for connor, but I figured I would get these to you.

Chelsea: Aww, that’s nice. I’ll be sure to put these out for him.

Adam: Yeah, whatever works.

Chelsea: Oh, I’m very excited for you to see the gift he’s making for you. That kid is creative.

Adam: Oh, I can’t wait. As long as I’m here, I figured that we could just discuss the holidays. I assume that you want to do something low-key and avoid the big newman family gathering.

Chelsea: Actually, if it’s okay with you, I’d like to go. I just saw sharon earlier, and she convinced me it’s time to face the world, even the difficult parts. I have to start trying to live a normal life again.

Phyllis: [ Exhales sharply ]

Tucker: Looks like someone’s having a hell of a day.

Phyllis: Who asked you?

Tucker: No one. It was a comment, not a reply. And I withdraw. Word to the wise — stop fighting the world so hard. The more at peace you are, the more things go your way.

Phyllis: Thanks for that.

Daniel: Mom.

Phyllis: Hey, baby.

Daniel: Hey.

Phyllis: Hey. Oh, my goodness. I’m so glad I ran into you. I’m so glad.

Daniel: You’re smiling so hard, it looks like it hurts. What’s up?

Phyllis: Yeah. Um, hey, let’s go.

Daniel: Talk to me.

Phyllis: Um, okay, well, uh…

[ Sighs ] I’m not working at marchetti anymore.

Daniel: Whoa, whoa. What? Why?

Phyllis: You know, summer and I, we mutually agreed we just have different visions.

Daniel: Uh-huh. Okay. What’s the real story?

Phyllis: Uh, does it matter? I mean, it’s all good. Anyway, the worst part about it is I did so much work. I created the entire division and someone’s just going to jump in and just make it succeed.

Daniel: So you’re free and clear?

Phyllis: Yeah. Thanks. I mean, that is the positive spin.

Daniel: Then come work with me.

Lily: Hi.

Billy: Hi. You got here fast. Do you want a coffee or tea or something?

Lily: Maybe in a minute. Should we sit?

Billy: Yeah.

Lily: Okay.

Billy: [ Clears throat ]

Lily: How’s chelsea doing?

Billy: She’s good. She’s getting stronger every day.

Lily: Good. Sounds positive.

Billy: Yeah, I think so.

Lily: You seemed a little off when I came in. Did something happen?

Billy: Adam happened. He showed up at chelsea’s door, and he oozes misery. And I just don’t think that that’s good for her right now.

Lily: Well, it kind of seems like you think you’re the only one who knows what’s good for her right now.

Kyle: I couldn’t get a read on stark. Could you?

Jack: Like all good liars, he’s very opaque, though I must say, your performance was very believable.

Kyle: That’s because my hatred for him is real. Question is, did he buy it?

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Summer: Please tell me it’s done.

Jack: We did everything we could. Now we wait.

Ashley: Hi. Kyle, you’re back from your business trip. How was it?

Kyle: Uh, g-good. Productive.

Summer: What do you think about the tree?

Ashley: Wow. Did you do that?

Summer: Most of it.

Ashley: Beautiful. You did a fantastic job.

Summer: Thank you. I enjoyed doing it.

Ashley: Okay, so you all got very quiet when I came in. Anybody want to tell me what’s going on?

Skin your face will envy?

Daniel: It is official, as of today. Chancellor-winters will be launching my new gaming platform.

Phyllis: What?

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Phyllis: This is amazing. Congratulations.

Daniel: Thank you. Yeah, I’m just a little excited.

Phyllis: Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Tell me everything.

Daniel: It’s not, you know, just gaming as most people know it. I mean, this is a complex multiverse, and it doesn’t isolate. It expands. And it deals with people’s, like, hopes and their fears and their dreams.

Phyllis: Wow. That’s very cutting edge.

Daniel: Uh-huh. I know. I got a few coders that I’d like to hire. You know, they can get started on the nitty-gritty. But you know what I need? What I need is a heavy hitter. I need someone senior that can come in, they can build, they can manage the team of designers, all the tech people. I need someone I can trust, someone who can see to the day-to-day stuff while I’m staying focused on the big picture. Someone like you.

Phyllis: I love that, because, you know, your sister doesn’t seem to trust me, so…

Daniel: Well, I don’t agree with her. I see things differently. Look, you are an avid gamer. You’re also a hacker from back in the day.

Phyllis: Shh.

Daniel: You love this world. You know the languages inside and out. I mean, this makes sense. I would love for you to join me on this.

Billy: You know, you almost sounded a little…

Lily: Hostile? I mean, maybe so. I just — I don’t feel like i know at all what’s going on inside your head these days.

Billy: Because you have a problem with how much time I’m spending with chelsea.

Lily: No, billy, like I said, this is not just about chelsea, and this is way too big for us to ignore. So if you want to work on this relationship, if you still care about it —

Billy: Lily, yes, of course i do.

Lily: Well, then I think that we need help. I think that we should go to couple’s counseling.

Billy: Okay, what I hear you saying is that you think I’m heading off the rails again.

Lily: No, no. This is not about you. This is about us. And this is really, really important to me. And I don’t feel confident that we can handle this on our own.

Billy: Okay. Yes, let’s do that. Let’s, um… let’s set something up for after the holidays.

Lily: Thank you.

Jack: The only thing we are up to is trimming the tree and trying to engender some holiday spirit.

Kyle: We left some more amounts for you to hang.

Summer: Yeah, traci has them in this box over here.

Ashley: Oh, well, how sweet. Well, okay, then. I guess it’s been a long day. I’m going to go upstairs and take a bath.

Jack: [ Sighs ]

Summer: How did things go with stark?

Jack: He said he would consider my offer.

Kyle: There’s no telling how long he will drag this out for.

Summer: Or if we could even trust him.

Kyle: I’m thinking about going back up to the cabin so my mom doesn’t feel so abandoned tomorrow.

Summer: On christmas eve?

Jack: Wait, kyle, I know you want to do this for diane, but I think that’s risky.

Jeremy: I still have business here genoa city. No, I have some stuff here I need to take care of on my own.

Kyle: I’ll be careful to fly under the radar. Stark won’t have a clue.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Curtis: A few more. Do I? Yeah, no, that’s good. There you go. Good. Well, you certainly have fight. Yeah, actually, I have osteoporosis. I think my doctor would be happy if I were doing this. So you mean you haven’t been doing this for years? No, I have not. I would never come to this gym unless you made me. I’m just trying to look natural. Well, I think it’s important that we establish a winning mindset before we try to catch a serial killer before someone else dies.

[ Suspenseful music plays ] Pcpd. Anyone home?

[ Door slams ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Gunshot ] Detective falconeri. We got shots fired. I repeat — shots fired. Oh, I like that one. Oh…I don’t know. You don’t think it’s a little too frou-frou for me? Oh, no. You have good taste. And pick a wedding dress that makes you happy. Right. You know what? I’m sorry. I just can’t help but think — um, are curtis and i making a mistake by still getting married in february? I mean, how reckless is it of us to push on and have this ceremony that’s supposed to be all about love and connection and… and esme’s on the loose? I-I just don’t know. Something about it just doesn’t feel right. Don’t let anyone stand in the way of your happiness. Not even a killer like esme? Esme will be sure to do more damage again, but she will never take another life. Beautiful.

[ Gasps ] Oh! Nikolas, you scared me.

[ Sighs ] I’m sorry. Your bodyguard gave me the go-ahead to come in. Well, it should, um, fetch a nice price, assuming it’s safe to open the gallery one day. It’s coming, ava. And when I said, “beautiful,” I wasn’t referring to the sculpture. That’s sweet. It’s true. Despite all that’s happened and all that… may happen. I love you. I always will. If only that’s all it took to fix things, right? We have to deal with esme and your son and your uncle, my mistrust, your misdeeds. What are the odds? Let me help. Cameron can help her. I’ve got it. Thank you. Just cancel my order. I’ll go somewhere else. No, no, you ordered, so you need to pay. No, he doesn’T. Not a problem. Your uncle pays me well.

[ Gasps ] Spencer, you ass! Here. I’m good. Come on. Take a swing. Do some damage if you can. Have you seen rory, by any chance? I asked the front desk, but no one could tell me where he is. Uh, he was in my office not 20 minutes ago. He must be around here somewhere. Police!

[ Glass shattering ] When a cold comes on strong, knock it out with vicks dayquil severe. Just one dose starts to relieve 9 of your worst cold and flu symptoms. To help take you from 9 to none. Power through with vicks dayquil severe. Hey! Knock it off! Not here, not now! Thank you. It wouldn’t have helped anything to knock him flat, no matter how much he deserves it. Oh, please. He’s just embarrassed that he fell like a sack of — calm down. Stop it! What are you doing? What? You just got out of prison. Now you’re already causing problems? What did he ever do to you? Cam just told me that he put you in danger. Hey, dex, bud. Get out! Ignore him. You don’t have to go anywhere. You have no clue what I do or don’t have to do. Hey, you’re leaving? No. We haven’t even conspired yet. By the way, this was a good idea to meet here. There’s no way that jordan would frequent a place that sonny owns. Yeah, I had that in mind when I suggested that we meet here. Jordan’s all about propriety these days. Not a bad quality for a cop. Yeah, but the problem is, she overcorrected. The pcpd is remaining very tightfisted about the information the general public could use to make a connection no one else has. That was my intention in printing the killer’s letter, although nothing came from it. So aside from opening up a line of communication, I’m really not sure what else I can do. And I’m not sure what we can do together. Uh, unless jordan might confide in you after all. Not directly, anyhow. Thanks, esparza. Let me know when he shows up. Well, rory’s shift ended, but he hasn’t collected his personal “go back” stuff yet, so he’s probably just, you know, cleaning up paperwork or something. You’re welcome to wait for him here. Oh, I… I don’t — I don’t want to be in the way. I doubt that’s ever true of you. Besides, rory would be happy to see you when he’s finished. Not for long. I just meant that I shouldn’t bother him at work. I’ll go… uh, catch up with cam at kelly’s, maybe see rory there. Trina, what’s wrong? I’ll let you go. Thanks for trying.

[ Telephone rings ] Commissioner ashford. When? What’s falconeri’s position? He stopped responding? Get paramedics and tactical on the scene. I’ll meet them there.

[ Rustling ] Police! Let me see your hands!

[ Coughs ] Cabrera. The hook. What? Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, finn. Oh. Just some pre-wedding stuff going on over here.

[ Chuckles ] What’s up? Nothing’s up. Hey. I, uh… please excuse me.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Finn. Glad I caught you. Hey, dad. Uh, your assistant said you’d be clocking out right about now. Um, I’m taking you to dinner. No, I, uh — I have a lot of case files waiting. Can’t take one night off? I can. I don’t want to. Maybe you need to. Alexis say something to you? You know her better than that. And I know you better than you think. It’s obvious that you’re in a bad way. And not just to me, either. Violet is on to you, too, and it’s taking a toll. Now, what makes you so sure that esme won’t spill any more blood? Well, she can’t fly under the radar with the whole city looking for her. I’m sure she’s just holed up somewhere, biding her time, thinking she can wait it out. But she can’T. At some point, she’ll step into the light and get caught. And our families will have nothing more to fear from her. Please get married. Give us something to look forward to. In addition to the justice coming for our kids and everyone else esme has hurt. It’s a deal. But you have to do your part, too. You have to rsvp.

[ Laughs ] I haven’t gotten confirmation that you or finn are coming to my wedding. It was never gonna be easy for us. But the best things never are. Because those are the things worth having. I might be here for a while. I was thinking about ordering takeout. You want to join me? Wish I could. Other plans? Not hungry. And, besides, I can’t stay long. I just… came to give you these. An early christmas present? Is this from your lawyer? I thought it best that you got it directly from me. Are you serving me?! It’s a divorce, ava. It’s over.

Sam: Hey. Hi. Hi. Oh, thank you for coming. Yes. Of course. Oh, I knew things were getting dire when I was seeking advice from cody bell. Yikes. What’s going on? I just need some perspective. And you’re the best one to give it to me. Okay, I will try. First, I need to know what you think of austin. Um… oh, my god. I can’t believe you didn’t tell me. What — what didn’t I tell you? That you don’t like him. I don’T…not like him. No, no, you “don’t not like” jicama. You “don’t not like” folding laundry, even though it’s, like, one of the easiest household chores ever. But you never look forward to doing it. And you wouldn’t choose it if you were given the choice. Yeah, true. But I-I don’t have to choose austin.

You do. Of course, unless you don’T. You’re divorcing me? Now is as good a time as any. We could begin 2023 with a fresh start. Did you give in to your uncle? Does he have something else on you now? My uncle doesn’t have anything to do with this. Do you expect me to believe that? After months of begging, of prostrating yourself, of putting your life in my hands… see the attached offer. You’ll see that I’m serious. This isn’t your post-nup money, but it is more than generous. And you could take me to court, you could demand more. But it’s best for everyone to not protract a legal battle. With my uncle and my resources, we would keep you mired for years. Bleed you dry. Scott won’t work gratis, not even for you. This isn’t happening. Take a few days. Sit on it. You’re a pragmatic woman, ava. You’ll see that this is the best outcome. You don’t want to divorce me. You’re lost without me, and you know it. Something drove you to this against your will, made you think you have no option other than to divorce me. But you do. I’ll give you one. Just tell me what’s behind this… or who. Nikolas, you won’t be alone. I’ll be at your side. I am so sorry I-I haven’t rsvp’d sooner. That’s okay. But you will be attending, though, won’t you? Elizabeth, my wedding wouldn’t be the same without you and finn. Yes, I — I wouldn’t miss it. Okay. But I can’t speak for finn. Things are not working out with us. We broke up. What’s wrong with violet? She’s worried about you. We were supposed to go ice skating today, but after I got her laced up, she wouldn’t budge off the bench, wouldn’t meet my eyes. It took a hot chocolate with extra marshmallows to pull it out of her. What did she say? “Daddy’s sad.” Then she asked if I knew why. What’d you tell her? That I thought so, too, and I wasn’t exactly sure why. I told her the best thing we can do for you is to make sure you knew you weren’t alone. So we bagged the ice skating and made some art instead.

[ Sighs ] What? I never thought something so helpful could hurt so much. What is it about that punk that makes you want to protect him from sonny? D-dex saved ava’s life. I mean, if he hadn’t gotten her to the hospital on time, avery wouldn’t have a mom. Spencer, you didn’t even know the guy, and you punched him in the face. What is wrong with you? I thought you couldn’t stand him. Oh, so you decked him for my sake? Don’t do me any favors. Okay. Okay. “Welcome back, spencer. Glad you survived super max. Uh, thanks for being a pal.” Clearly, I’m not needed here.

[ Door slams ] Rory: I can’t breathe. Dante: Hang in there, okay? We’re gonna get you some help. Hey. Cabrera said it was the hook. I just missed her. She must have just jumped out the window. Okay. Set up a 10-block perimeter. Find out if anybody’s reported an intruder. Bring in all patrol units to canvass the apartments, set up a dragnet.

[ Siren wailing ]

[ Sighs ] How you doing, cabrera? We can’t wait for the paramedics. Let’s get him up. Let’s get him to the car. Come here. Give me a hand. Put your legs down, okay, buddy? Come on. Let’s go. All right. Let’s go. You’re good, cabrera. We’re gonna get you help. Dispatch, this is commissioner ashford. We have a dead body in the apartment. Get the medical examiner and csu here now. You know something? Spill. Alexis, we got to be careful with what we do with this information. I’m not supposed to have it. I’m a law– I used to be a lawyer. I know how to keep a secret. So how about we — we don’t do anything with the information unless we both agree? Deal? Deal. Okay. What do you got? Okay. I talked with trina last night, and she was talking with ava. Apparently, jordan is getting outside advice about our serial killer’s profile. From the fbi or a forensic pathologist? From the devil himself — ryan chamberlain.

[ Sighs ] Austin was blackmailing spinelli. Blackmailing him? How? Well, it has to do with society setups. Wait. Spinelli’s algorithm? You know about the algorithm? I think I knew that. Not that it really matters, because whatever illegal things spinelli did, you would not use against him or turn him in or use his genius for your own benefit. No, maxie, of course not. But wait. Austin did? Yeah. He forced spinelli to run us, austin and me, through the algorithm, which is a total violation, because I never signed up for society setups in the first place. Which means whatever data spinelli gathered on me, he got by hacking and breaking through firewalls and — and stuff. Wait, maxie. Spinelli would never use your data against you. No, I know that. I don’t love being hacked, but if there’s anyone I trust to do the hacking, it’s spinelli. I just don’t trust austin. Jordan is consulting with ryan chamberlain? I guess to catch a serial killer, you have to talk with a serial killer. Look, I’m gonna go shower, and we’ll talk somewhere private. Josslyn: You kept surprising me and doing the right thing when I least expected it. Now I’ve disappointed you. Is that it? I’d be lying if I said no. I’m sorry about that. Me too. Not for me, but for you. You know, my mom and jason are incredible people who gave everything they had to sonny, trusting that he would do right by them. Instead, he screwed them both over. And I don’t want you to be one of those people. Can you believe spencer? What, he learned that in pentonville? Leave it to him to ruin his own homecoming. Typical. He got too caught up in his own B.S. That he just didn’t think. He never does. What are you doing here? Uh, grabbing food, wreaking havoc, reaping the consequences. The usual. Hi. Hi. I guess I’m still not used to seeing you around. Yeah. You’re not the only one. Did you know that a new rule was enacted in my absence where friends are forbidden from sticking up for each other?

[ Scoffs lightly ] I mean, that’s a broad reading. Sticking up is allowed as long as it’s welcome. Well, I will be sure to consult you next time before I butt in, ’cause cam is so over me. Well, whatever you did, I’m guessing your heart was in the right place. You’re not the same guy who returned to port charles hell-bent on destroying ava. You mean

this is progress? Now you just have to work on your execution. Well, I will get on it. Hopefully, I will have something to show for it the next time that I’m in town. “Next time”? I’m taking off. Elizabeth and i ended things. It all came apart last night. And I thought I was holding it together for violet’s sake, keeping her from seeing what I was going through. But obviously I did another bang-up job. Your daughter is extremely perceptive. She would have picked up on your pain blindfolded. There never should have been anything for her to pick up on. I should’ve done better. I should’ve done better for her. I should’ve seen what was happening with elizabeth sooner and made different choices, better choices. Your assessment of your actions may be a little skewed in light of recent events. Elizabeth and I were… we were trying to build something together, some idea of a family. But that’s all gone. But violet, she needs that. And how do I take that away from her again? Must you? I know you still love elizabeth. Love doesn’t fade away so fast. It may shrink or be eclipsed by other feelings, but it’s still inside there, waiting to re-emerge, sometimes stronger than before,

if both people want it enough. I appreciate that, dad. I do. But you don’t understand. Elizabeth… elizabeth will make up her own mind. You need to know what’s in your heart. Do you want to salvage your relationship? Dante: We need some help here. Jordan: Injured officer. He’s bleeding heavily. We need a gurney stat! Hey. Let’s get him up. Easy, easy. Lay him down flat. All right. Get some pressure on these wounds. -I got it, I got it. -Rory. What happened? We need the antivenom that saved diane miller after her attack. It was the hook. Okay. You ready to go? You said you heard about this from ava? Yeah. She was at spring ridge. Um, she witnessed the interview. Apparently, the pcpd used her as bait for chamberlain. So he answers jordan’s questions in exchange for ava being present. Remind me to pick up ava’s tab for the next hundred years. Yeah, right. Same here. So, esme was an intern when I was at spring ridge. She said that she was a psych major at pcu to explain her interest in chamberlain. Question — did ryan say anything to jordan to hint at where esme can be found? You know, trina didn’t give me the play-by-play, but she did let something slip that caught my attention — chamberlain believes that esme is not the killer. And we’re gonna take his word for it? Alexis, I have pored over chamberlain’s file. That guy hasn’t lifted a finger in anyone else’s interests except his own. So if he says that esme’s not the killer, it’s because it serves him and not the police. Jordan is onto something, and I do believe there is more to their twisted relationship besides psychopath and psychology student. So what do we do with that information?

[ Cellphone rings ] I do believe we’re about to find out. Hey, jordan. Curtis, I’m trying to reach taggert. Do you know where he is? Uh, he’s traveling.

[ Cellphone chimes ] He’s doing a security consult out of town. Portia should be able to track him down. Portia’s busy. Trina’s at kelly’S. Can you pick up trina and bring her to G.H. Immediately?

What’s wrong? It’s happened again. There’s more to this divorce than what you’re saying. Why don’t you just tell me what it is? You know, maybe we can salvage our marriage. There’s nothing I can say to fix this. Well, give it a shot, will you? I think you owe me that much. I was prepared to cut you loose. Do you remember that? Everybody in my life urged me to move on. Everybody told me that you weren’t good enough for me. Some people said that I was lucky just to survive you, and I was so close to listening to them. But I tuned them out. Just yesterday, I told you that I — that I wanted to try, and you ate it up. And now you’ve changed your mind? I don’t — why?! Because they were right — I’m not worthy. I am still the faithless man today that I was yesterday. I don’t understand this. What is going on? I had an affair with elizabeth.

Austin was so great when I met him. He delivered bailey lou. He got knocked unconscious for his trouble. Then I lied to him about what actually happened for months. And when the truth finally came out, he was kind and understanding. Well, that’s good. Then you got to know the best part of austin. Yeah, and I chose to ignore the not-so-great parts. Like how mean he was to brook lynn. Or how he manipulated poor chase into spying on the quartermaines. He was super apologetic about that. But I-I did choose to push that to the back of my mind. But spinelli never liked austin, and he’s liked him even less the last few weeks. Now I know why. I say poor spinelli. Yeah, because it’s never fun to be blackmailed. Especially not when the blackmailer’s dating the mother of your child. Which brings me around to georgie, who also never liked austin. I thought she was just being difficult. Now I think she might have been right. You and elizabeth? One affair wasn’t enough for you? Show scott the offer and get back to me. How did it happen? When? Where? In the bed we shared together? Or did you and elizabeth rut around in the dirt at the quartermaine picnic? I’m not getting into the details. I have a right to know. It’ll only hurt you. Why stop now? So how did the two of you end up together? I wouldn’t have you, so you came on to elizabeth? Maybe — maybe it was the other way around. Did she catch you in her bottomless pit of need that so many fools are too weak to resist? Don’t talk about her like that.

[ Voice breaking ] What were you getting from elizabeth that you didn’t get from me? My child. Elizabeth is pregnant, ava. She’s having our baby. Widen the perimeter. I want every uniform and detective on this. Yes. Have the uniforms check the dumpsters nearby. Even those not on duty. Maybe the hook left some bloody clothes in one of them or something like that. And, also, we gotta take a closer look at the exotic animal smuggler and his cell records. We need to know who he was talking to, who he was texting, who he was meeting with. Yes. Yes. All that. Thanks. Hi. H– are you okay? Uh, it’s — it’s not mine. It’s officer cabrera’S. Isn’t that trina’s boyfriend? Wait. [ Sighs ] Was it the hook? Was it esme? Detective falconeri, get cleaned up. That’s an order. Okay. Was cabrera attacked by the hook? Here’s my statement — tonight, one of port charles’ finest is fighting for his life after a cowardly and brutal attack. My department will do everything to bring this perpetrator to justice. And I’ll be damned if I lose another one of my own. You can quote me on that.

[ Monitor beeping ] Administer the antivenom. We don’t know for sure it was esme — the person with the hook.

[ Sighs ] We’ve got another bleeder. He needs the antivenom. What if the police are wrong? The antivenom’s in short supply. Just do it. If his wounds don’t kill him, the poison will. You’re taking off? As soon as the terms of my release from prison are met, yeah. Then you’re, like, what, going on vacation? No, “vacation” implies a return home, and port charles no longer qualifies. But your family lives here, your friends. So do all the people who look at me like I’m dirt. Do those people have more power over you than the ones who care about you? Those people are few and far between, trina. You’re wrong. And if you’d just open your eyes, you’d see. See what? See who? My eyes are open, which is how I know to look down whenever I encounter someone who I have disappointed. So I’m gonna move on, and I’m going to disappoint strangers.

[ Chuckles ] That’s not funny. That’s sad. Maybe. But it is true. And I am certainly not going to get what I want here. And what’s that? To know how it feels… when you matter so much to someone that it hurts them when you’re gone. I’ve got the reverse down pat. I know all about hurt. Just not the part when it’s returned. Trina. Curtis. Spencer: What’s going on? I think joss and cam should hear this, too. I say that we go to a nice place, just the two of us. -First, we should talk. -Cameron. Josslyn. You, trina, and spencer need to come with me to G.H. Right away. Trina: Why? Police commissioner’s orders. She wants you where she can keep eyes on you. And it’s probably best that you’re under police protection. Okay. What happened? There’s been another attack. Who? Trina, I’m sorry. It’s rory.

What is wrong with me? I burn my life down with peter, and then I turn right around and jump into a relationship with someone who blackmails people. Wait, hold on. Austin is absolutely wrong for blackmailing spinelli, but he is not in the same league as peter. But my mistake was the same. With peter, I chose to ignore the red flags and see what I wanted to see. Austin — not a psycho. Thank god. But not who he pretended to be. Okay. And when did you get confirmation of that? I told you — this just happened. And what did you do? I told austin he wasn’t who I thought he was, and I walked out. And what are you doing now? I’m venting to a friend. Exactly. You’re not in denial. You’re just following your instincts. You’re taking a step back to re-evaluate, to be fair to yourself and to austin, to consider what you want, what you don’t want, what you like, and what you don’t like. Then you can act accordingly. Okay. I can do that. I know you can. Hey, at least my life’s not up in flames. That’s progress. My foot’s stuck. Hey — oh — I’d like to think you’re concerned about me, but it’s just another excuse for you to hate on sonny. I don’t need an excuse. And it’s a waste of energy to tell you anything different when this is what you want to do. You have no idea what I want. Then why don’t you tell me? You know how to surf? Yeah, my dad’s australian. I didn’t really have a choice. Is it hard to learn? Um, I don’t remember learning. I kind of just always knew how. You think you could teach someone? Uh, well, that depends. On what? On who wants to learn. I need you to sit up and drink this for me, okay?

[ Groans ] Or you’re gonna need my help. All right. Come here. Sit up. Damn. What? All of this, it wasn’t supposed to happen.

[ Chuckles ] Well, it did. Thank you for the coffee. Can you give me an update on cabrera’s condition? All I know is, they’ve got him in the trauma room, and he’s bleeding heavily. Mm. You know, jordan’s tight-lipped. She won’t say anything. How’d you hear about the attack? Because I was there when — when curtis got the call from jordan. And jordan sent curtis looking for trina, which suggests to me that this has something to do with the hook. When the police arrived, they called for antivenom. Venom? We both know where that’s been mentioned recently. The killer’s letter. You’re bringing a child into this? You’re subjecting a child to your misadventures with victor and esme? I never meant for this to happen, ava. The sex was a mistake. The baby is not. I couldn’t make this unhappen even if I wanted to. And I don’T. I have to take care of that baby. I have to do right. I got to protect it from victor and esme or anything that can harm it, or anyone who would try to use this baby for their own advantage. I — just, I can’t fail another child. You may not understand any of this. But you must understand that much, don’t you? Keep me posted. Dante: Any news? Mac is on site. Okay. I’ll go see if he needs some help. No, dante, I need you here. Why? I’m not doing anything here. I’ll be much more useful out in the field. You need to be here. You need to see this through — not only for your sake, but, more importantly, for officer cabrera’S. How’s rory? Is he okay? I don’t know. The doctors are working on him now.

[ Sighs ]

[ Door closes ] Nikolas: Please, just take my offer. What’s the alternative — war? I mean, just, what else is there to —

That’s what I think of your offer. You could have killed me. Remember that. Go on. Go be with elizabeth. Be a daddy. Good luck with your do-over. I’m sorry. I… never wanted to hurt you. I hate this. Mm, you don’t know what hate is. Maybe I’ll teach you. It doesn’t have to be like this. That’s true. It could be far, far worse. And who knows? Maybe it will be yet. God have mercy on you, nikolas. You’ll get none from me. Mom.

[ Voice breaking ] Please tell me rory’s gonna be okay. He’s lost a lot of blood, honey, and he’s bleeding internally. And his treatment’s based off of dante’s accounts of what happened.

[ Crying ] Can I see him? Honey, he’s very weak right now. Okay? He’s incoherent.

[ Monitor beeping ] Rory! Rory! Rory, rory, rory!

[ Crying ] Oh, my god. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry, rory.

[ Weakly ] It was… too soon… to tell you how I feel. But… I’m not sorry. When you know, you know. Rory. Rory, rory! Rory! Rory, rory. Please. No, rory. Rory, rory. Please, rory.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Tate, where do you see this resort in Aspen, buddy? It is amazing. Yeah. You know, first of all, first of all, it has a lobby where you can basically ski right into, and then you can, you can go into this hot tub, which is about the size of a lake. Yeah. . It’s this.

You know what, buddy? I’m, I’m gonna have to, uh, I’m gonna have to call you back. Yeah. Okay. I love you too. Bye.

What are you doing? What does it look like? We’re under a missile toe. I am sure you remember what that means.

Well, are you just gonna stand there golfing or are you gonna explain what you’re doing at my apartment? I could ask you the same thing.

Your grandma Susan was one of a kind. She loved you very much.

Yeah. It feels like just, uh, yesterday she was here with us enjoying Halloween. Now it’s almost Christmas. God, I just, uh, I can’t believe she’s gone.

She sure is a beauty. Yeah. With enough power to take out half the church. And it’s all for EJ Damara. Hmm. When he shows up, it’s Susan’s funeral. He’s gonna be the one resting in

like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

You constructed a paper missile toe. Just so you could hold it over my head. No. Rachel made it an art class. I think it’s pretty good. She was hoping, uh, we would hang it together. Kristen, I think, no, listen, Kristen, what? You know how I feel about you encouraging her fantasies about us getting together? No, darling.

I am encouraging her creativity. Yeah, well, maybe you should do an art project based on the plant that helped save Marlene’s life since that’s the only reason why you’re staying. Well, you know what? You, you, you don’t have to continue to remind me. Where are you going? Today is Susan’s memorial and I wanted to be there for my brother.

You can’t be serious what you, I’m pretty sure that EJ doesn’t want you anywhere near that. Look, I am well aware of my brother’s feelings toward me, Brady, but, um, don’t worry about it. I have a plan. Oh, you saying that you have a plan is supposed to make me not worry. No, we’ll see. See,

yeah. What could possibly go wrong?

Ava took so much from us. I, I trusted her. I cared, I cared for her. I, I had no idea how damaged she was. I mean, that she’s capable of kidnapping grandma, driving them off the road, killing ’em in the process, even though I didn’t think she would go that far. But I saw her in my own eyes. Yeah. That must have been horrible for you.

I thought it was the last time I would see either one of them until I saw a Thanksgiving.

What’s wrong? Don’t tell me you’re having second thoughts about blowing EJ to kingdom. Come. Of course not. Then what is it? I was just thinking how great would it be if all of my other enemies could get what was coming to them too? Starting with Nicole Walker that you find me. Well, when Roman told me you didn’t come home last night, I had a pretty good idea of where you might be.

So you what? Started knocking on random doors? No, honey. I used to be a reporter. It took me about 10 seconds to track down your address. Wow. Stalker lunch.

Well, excuse me, I don’t remember inviting you in. Seriously, you’re sleeping with her. I am. What’s it to you?

There you turn. Hey, I am please. My feet are killing me, sir. Tell me all about it, sir. Couldn’t sit down. How did you think? Ow. Well, I did pretty well. I got that. Camera, drone that Johnny’s been watching. That’s good. That’s good. Let’s hope he makes a safer choice for his next movie. How about Holly? I found some troll dolls that she wanted.

I don’t know if we’re gonna be seeing much of her over Christmas, because you know Eric, Nicole. Yeah. Yeah. We’ll just have to drop that off. And Nicole’s this afternoon then. Mm-hmm. . So don’t you have any luck finding something for little Rachel? I did what? I got her a junior marine biology kit. Ah, good job.

You know Brady said she’s really into Wales right now. Yeah. But we both know we can’t deliver her what she really wants for Christmas. Mom and dad back together.

Just what sort of voodoo is this? I’m sorry, what? This style is evil. And is this right here? Dear Lord, I came just in time. Yeah? Yeah. Nice try. Kristin.

You are unbelievable. He’s unbelievable. You’re the one that’s sculpting around town trying to catch him in bed with other women. You stay out of this. Hello? You are standing in the middle of my apartment. I’m in it. Will you give us a minute? It won’t take very long, I promise. Fine. We have to get dressed anyway.

What is wrong with you? Nothing. Nothing. About five minutes ago we were planning our future together and now you’re starting drunken bar fights and hooking up with a trashy lawyer who you spent. How dare you judge me for sleeping with Sloan. You’re hooking up with EJ Tamira.

See? So you’re saying you saw Avon Thanksgiving. How is that possible? I had a lot to drink and I ended up at the crash site. She, she was taunting me, tormenting me, but it was. It was real. Tony and Chad showed up and Abra disappeared. So no, no, it, it wasn’t real likely a toxic combination of too much booze and even more guilt.

Ironic, isn’t it? In death. Ava made me feel as crazy as she was. Dad, I’m so sorry you’re going through this.

Thank you for saying that son. More importantly, for being here with me. Look, I just hope that you know, maybe Bla and Grandma Susan to rest will bring you some kind of peace.

So Nicole destroyed your life to be with Rafe, and then she just moved on. I could never happened. And from what I hear, she made a pit stop with Eric Brady in. She moves fast. Mm. And her and EJ are a couple. Well, she’s living at his house. What do you think? I think you’re absolutely right. A person like that needs to get her comeuppance.

I am so glad you agree because the good news is she will most likely be accompanying EJ to the funeral, which means, which means have to kill two birds with one bomb.

You know, doc, this is, it’s gotta be really confusing for little Rachel. I mean, she has her, her parents living in the same house, but not together. Well, we know that Brady moved Kristen in under duress. I, I just wonder why. The only thing I know for sure is that. Rachel was doing a hell a lot better when Kristen was gone.

We all were. That is why we not only have to get Kristen out of our house, but out of Brady’s life for good.

I may have an idea. Christian Dara. Oh, how dare you. Confused me with that godless rich. Now where is your stepmom? My stepmom, you mean Marlena? Yes. I came to see Dr. Marlena Evans in ahead of my dearly departed sister’s funeral. All I found was screaming Light meers Uhhuh . Yeah. I knew you were good at this, but I gotta say this, this oof.

This is good. It’s pretty convincing. I thank you. Pardon? Is, was this really your plan? You’re gonna go to Susan’s Funeral Justice, her sister, the NUN plan? The only plan that I subscribe to is God’s Divine Plan Plane. Okay. All right. All right, sister. Right. I did not know what you are imply. I am not pretending to be Susan’s sister.

I am her sister. Right. You know, this is never gonna work. I mean, what, what if the real sister Mary Mora shows up? Whatcha are you gonna do Sister Mary mo’s? Okay. Okay. You know what if, if your sister, Mary Mora, you think she would be okay with something like this, I.

You have one of those for your sister, Kristen? Yeah, the one and only take this one. I’ll make another that’s,

thank you for that. You can thank me by leaving this. What the hell are you doing here, Kristen? Where else would I be to say goodbye to Susan? I wanna be there for your mother, for you at the funeral. Over my dead buddy.

How many times do I have to say it? EJ and I are not sleeping with each other. Right? Holly and I needed a place to stay and EJ offered. Yeah, what’s very generous of him? It’s just temporary. Eric. Well, maybe you should be spending your time searching for apartments rather than keeping track of me. I’m worried about you.

You’re worried about me. Were you that worried when you encouraged Jada to deport my baby? Is that while you’re flushing your life down the drain, because Jada made a choice, not me. I mean, do, do you even hear me? Jada made that choice, not me. I’m making choices. Too. Bad choices. Yeah. I wonder why, you know, one minute I thought we were gonna be together and then the next minute we weren’t.

Or I was about to be a father and then I wasn’t. It’s been rough for you. Who the hell hasn’t it been rough for? But you’re, you’re, you’re drowning in self-pity. This is not who you are. Who the hell am I? Nicole? You’re a good person who’s loved and, and, and respected. Yeah. Who’s getting walked all over.

That is not true. You know what I realize now people like you and my sister Sammy, why you enjoy being so selfish and sabotaging Because you do what you want without worrying about any consequences. You know what I understand because it, there’s kind of a little bit of a rush to it. I mean, who wants to be the good twin?

And there’s so much more fun in being a bad twin.

Is someone reminiscing over her near Adventures in cradle robbing. Johnny was kind to me when EJ was declaring war, and Gabby was trying to manipulate me. Johnny was on my side.

Maybe things would’ve been different if I just let him into my life.

Sorry, mom. You may have been little Johnny’s Cougar fantasy at one point, but now you’re just the crazy lady who killed his grandmother go away. You don’t really want that. Yes, I do. Look, I appreciate you helping me with my plan, but I can do this on my own. I don’t need you here. Okay. I’ll scream. But remember, I’m always with you.

Uh, excuse me, miss.

Uh, I’m Susan’s grandson Johnny, are you a friend of hers?

Ah, listen, we’re, we’re not quite ready yet. Maybe you wanna wait outside.

Miss this.

Whoa. How dare you press your unclean lip against the flesh of one of Christ’s sacred brides? Wait a minute. What? Whoa. Wait. You were welcomed. You welcomed Satan into your heart and into your home. Oh God. Oh God. I know you’re taking his name in favor. No, no, no. Listen, I’m sorry. You’re the real sister. Mary got this.

I’m trying to. You walked into this room? No. What is room with your child apparently allowed. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. No, Mr. Sister. I’m I I didn’t mean mistake. Cut was Total mistake. No, doesnt cut in. Mister. What are you talking about? What? Something been done? You a long time. Ow, ow. What you doing?

What? Hey, hey. Stop it. We stop. I know you’ve hated me ever since I cited with Gabby on the Dera vote. This has nothing to do with business. Then why are you being so hostile? Why am I being so hostile? Yes. Do you not remember how you treated my mother when she was. Oh, come on. I, I admit that Susan and I didn’t always get along.

You tried to take me away from her when I was a baby. Yes, but we got past that years ago. No, no, you got past it. My mother never did. She was forever traumatized by what you and father put her through. And this whole, it’s all about family act isn’t going to work this time. You don’t give a damn about me or my mother.

And you are the last. As she would want at her funeral, so get the hell out and let me grieve in peace.

Oh, great. You’re still here. Nicole is just leaving. Does she know that? Well, enjoy your afternoon delight. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

You sure you don’t wanna go after her? Nope.

Are you okay? I’m good. Nothing to worry about. I’m glad to hear that

Nicole did make one solid point though. We still have time for love in the afternoon before I have to be at court. How’s that sound?

You’re thinking

you want me to get close to Kristin?

Come on, doc. I think you remember that. I tried that once before and it didn’t work out that well. You know, my power’s a seduction man. No, no, no. I don’t want you to seduce her. Well then what are you talking to your friend, you know, play on the, the long history that you’ve had. Remind her that she can still trust you.

You think she’d buy. Well, her family has forsaken. Her friend is in, in prison. I, I just think, uh, she’d be looking for someone in whom she could confide about now

and why not her old pal, John Black. Huh? Could work. And once she’s vulnerable enough, I should be able to get her to tell me what she’s holding over. Brady’s head. I, there you have Got it. , when you use your mastery psychology to hatch a scheme, no, no, no. It’s not a scheme. This is just plain good parenting.

Oh man. Okay. Doctor, where do we start? I think I’ve got a way that. Persuade Kristen to let down her card

more. I think about it the more I like this plan of yours. , I thought you might

Yes, but where are you going? Well, if we’re gonna get Kristen out of our house, we gotta start right now. Wait. What about Susan’s memorial? You pay respects for both of us. Susan, of all people would understand how desperate we are to save our son and granddaughter from Kristen D.

He looked like he had a even worse day than I did. Yeah, you can pretty much bet on that. I thought you were going to the funeral. Let’s just say EJ wasn’t interested in my comfort today or any other day for that matter, who I tried to warn you about that so much for family. What happened to your hand? I had a little visit from, uh, Susan’s sister, the nun.

Sister Mary Mork was here. Yeah. Yeah. She let herself in when I came around the corner and I found her. I, uh, I kind of jumped to the wrong conclusion because you were telling me that you had this plan to go to the funeral today. Oh, you. Thought it was me in disguise. I had every reason to. Yeah, I mean, it was something that you would do, so, yeah, I did think that.

And so when she finally convinced me of the truth that it was her, it was a little bit too late. Okay. Too late for what? Freddie, what did you do? I tried to call your bluff, Kristen. All right. I took the, uh, the paper missile toe that Rachel had made. Oh my God. You didn’t? And I held it over her head. Oh God.

And I gave her a giant kiss you made out with, I made out with a nun today. I thought it was you

Don. You know, it’s not that funny. It’s not that funny. Okay. Yeah, you’re right. It’s not funny. You’re right. No, it’s not. It’s, it’s, I mean, it’s even funnier. . Okay. That’s okay. Okay. Hold on, prince. So, uh, what did she do? Uh, did she freak out? ? I was looking, I was the fucking freak out. Oh my God. It’s, she’s a nut.

I’m kissing her . She could, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I mean, it wasn’t funny. You should have seen the look on her face. No, I, I would’ve rather seen the look on her face. We were both freaked out. I know

God.

You know what? What? Oh, I’m good. I’m good. You know, I’m gonna stop. I’m just gonna stop right now because I really need to ask you a question. Romeo. What? So if it had been that nun’s habit and you planted that kiss, what would happen next?

Is everything all right? I just found Eric with his slut lawyer, Sloan Peterson. They were alone in her apartment wearing only towels. I see. Are they together now? Well, at least for one night. Eric Brady had a one night stand. Who knew he had it in him? . Oh, I’m glad you find this amusing. I’m, I’m sorry. I know you still love him, but doesn’t this prove how beneath you, the former Father Brady truly is.

He’s troubled, and I shouldn’t be dumping this on you, especially not today. It’s, it’s fine. I’d much rather share a drink with you than my last visitor. Oh, who was it? Kristen showed up wanting to accompany me to my mother’s funeral. That was nice of her. Nice. The woman spent decades tormenting my poor mother.

Yeah. Well, being on the receiving end of Kristen’s malice, I can understand why you wouldn’t want her to come to the service. And yet she was the only one of my siblings who was available. Your brothers aren’t coming. Tony Nana are visiting Carrie and her family for the holidays. Stefan is dealing with a supply chain crisis at the mirror, and Chad, the poor man, is still grieving Abigail.

I couldn’t put him through another funeral so soon, so it. Me and Johnny. I don’t even know where he and I stand these days. Thomas. Well,

maybe I can go with you.

Dear Zone in heaven, what has now forsaken? We have enough. Very good. And for I’m Mary Mor, so. Is everything all right? Oh, is it you, Roman ? Yeah. It’s, uh, it’s me. Thank the Lord about how you’ve grown. It’s good to see you. Thank you. How long has it been my dear? Great nephew, uh, would’ve been in Italy, was the last time we were together.

You were visiting us while my dad was recovering from his accident. Mm-hmm. ? Yes, yes, yes. Huh? Elvis when he roses from the dead, like Lazarus himself. Hey, you, uh, you seem pretty upset. I, I, I can’t even imagine how hard this must be for you. Oh, it’s just too awful to talk about. I know, I know. The, uh, my, uh, grandma Susan’s death is, well, it’s a tragedy, so I.

I’m not talking about my sweet sister’s death. I am referring to your uncle, the Heathen Brady Black uncle, uncle Brady. What? What, what? What about him? He was just, oh, he was overtake by his car. Urges. What? She kissed me.

Oh boy. Uncle Brady kissed you. He tasted coffee and shin. Oh, you hold that disturbing thought for just one minute, please. I’d rather not. Let’s just, there, there was a, there’s a woman right here a minute ago. Where is she?

I think you’re gonna need another shower.

Wanna conserve water and shower with a friend? As nice as that sounds. I have to go in my brother soon. You no fun. Really? Mm. Okay. Fun. Actually, you’re a lot of fun. But if you’re in a hurry, then you can go alone. Hey, will you want to go first? No, you go. Never let it be sad that I’m not an accommodating host.

I would never say that.

If you wanna come back tonight, we can pick up where we left off. I may take you up on that.

Let’s just do a thought experiment, shall. What if it’s me and the nuns have it and you hold up the missile toe and you put your lips on mine and I respond. What are you asking Chris? I’m just curious. I’m just curious. I mean, because the history is that, uh, I kiss, it really just stops at a kiss. Chris?

Mm-hmm. take, you know what I remember, there were times and we’d be at that door and we’d be kissing each other goodbye, and then all of a, we’d start taping each other’s clothes off, and then we would just go straight back to our bedroom. I mean, that is, we made it that far.

Hey, hey, why do you keep fighting this? Know that it’s still there. Us. You wanna stop? Stop. I know that you as much

Oh, oh boy. Hey dad. Hey son. Why don’t you get a meeting with your I do, I do. I have a meeting. Thanks for reminding me I’m late. I better go.

So, so, so. Looks like it’s just the two of us.

Thank you for your offer. It means a lot, but do you really want to risk being seen with me in public again? Am I get a few more tongues wagging?

I don’t care about. You did before you agreed to move in? Yes, I did. But it doesn’t matter anymore. Ej, you are my friend and I wanna be there for you.

Well, in that case, we better get ready. Uh, I’ll, I’ll go change. Nicole. Yeah. Thank you

Grandma darling. How are you? You, you seem a little distracted. Oh yeah. I was just, uh, I was looking for, Woman. What woman? I don’t know. She, she was in the chapel and, uh, she was looking at pictures, but I, and I, I tried to talk to her. She wouldn’t turn around. Well, that seems a bit odd. Yeah. I don’t know. And then I, I just, I, I, I, I, I turned away for a moment.

She was gone. Hmm. So you, you didn’t Oh, see her face. No, I, I, she was wearing some big hat and I just, I don’t know if she was weird vibes. I just wanted to make sure she was okay. I am sure she’s okay, honey. You know, people deal with grief in different ways, that’s all. Yeah. Yeah. You’re probably right. I’m sure it’s fine.

I think we should go inside. Are you ready? Yeah, I’ll, I’ll be right behind. Okay.

Sister Mary Myra. Oh, Dr. It’s good to see you. You as well. John asked me to let you know he was sorry that he couldn’t be here today. Well, he isn’t the one who should be expressing remorse. This ate son of his who needs to. Brady. Ooh, just his name since she was down Mafa. Why? What did Brady do? Oh, I to say this.

I came to see you and he’s dead. Your stepson ravished me.

Hey. Hey, thanks for coming to see me. Sure. Sounds like we got a lot to talk about. What do you mean? Is it true that you were arrested, spent a night in jail? Great news travels fast than seeing them. Yeah. What’s going on with you, man? What? What? I mean? Well, besides me being worried about you, Eric, I mean, you missed a whole day of work.

All right. I’m sorry about that. No, no. I mean, I had to reschedule the entire summer swimsuit. You know, we had to rebook all the models. Look, I’m sorry. I’m really sorry about that. You, you, sorry. You know what? It cost me a lot of money, man. If you weren’t my brother, I’d probably have to fire you. All right.

I’ll save you the trouble. I quit.

Are you, are you saying that Brady. Kissed you in a romantic way? Oh, there’s nothing romantic about it. No. He stuck his fort for a tongue down my merchant throat.

That’s an image I have been praying ever since. Oh, I don’t understand why Brady would do that. He claimed that he thought I was the evil Christian. Well, he thought he was kissing Kristen. I don’t know. I don’t care. That horrible woman has corrupted his mortal soul, which is why you and John Black should have done a better job of keeping your boy away from that.

She deal. Well, we’re working on that.

Beer. Yeah, thanks. Why aren’t you at, uh, Susan’s memorial service with Marlena? Long story. Hmm. Well, I got time,

uh,

duck and I route Christmas shopping, and we kind of got into a dispute. Salem’s greatest lovers. You, I should alert the intruder, eh? It’s more like just a, I don’t know, difference of opinion. All right. What could you two possibly have to fight about? Hmm. Oh, let me guess. should be up at Christmas. Gifts on Christmas Eve.

On Christmas morning.

Actually,

we were fighting about you.

I’m so sorry. Thank you for being here. Of course, she was a friend. I’ll miss her. Thank you.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go say hi to my aunt. Course.

Hello, Nicole. Marlena. I’m sorry about what happened between you and Eric. Thank you. But I, I think you should check on him. He’s going through some things, of course. Uh, You were here with EJ as friends. His brothers couldn’t make it, so I thought I’d show support. Well, that was kind of you.

Lovely arrangement. I wonder who they’re from. They’re from Samantha. Oh, that was very thoughtful of her. Are we ready to begin? Oh yes. Father, uh, no. Is there a problem? We can’t start the funeral yet. Johnny isn’t here. Well, I just saw him earlier. Yeah, I, I, I saw him outside. He said he’d be, Where between Heaven inhale could therefore be,

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ridge: So, I’m surprised to see both of you here.

Brooke: Why not welcome you back from your trip?

Taylor: Yeah. It went well?

Ridge: Did– did it go well? I wasn’t– I wasn’t on holiday. It was– I was, um… I spent time soul searching, if that’s what they call it.

Brooke: Glad to hear it.

Taylor: Yeah, me too.

Ridge: Okay. I got a text.

Taylor: Yeah, we both wanted to see you.

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: And that’s understandable. I– I could only imagine what you guys have been going through and now, I just– for my part in this, I apologize. I’m sorry.

Brooke: Are you?

Taylor: Are you really, ridge?

Hope: I think ridge might be coming back to los angeles to reunite with my mother.

Steffy: Wouldn’t count on it.

Hope: Well, we know ridge left to do some thinking.

Steffy: Well, the more time he considers what he wants in life, I think he’ll realize it’s my mother.

Hope: But, if he has to think that hard about it, is it really meant to be?

[ Knocking on door ]

All: Hi.

Finn: We, uh, ran into each other on the elevator.

Hope: Oh, uh, well I think it’s good you’re both here.

Liam: Yeah, why? To referee?

Steffy: No, actually. Hope and I were having a fairly civilized conversation.

Liam: Why? What happened?

Steffy: My father is coming back home.

Liam: Oh, wait. So ridge is on his way home now?

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: He must have made his decision. Either he’s gonna spend his future with taylor or with brooke.

Hope: I think we all know what direction this is headed in.

Steffy: I can see it now. My parents married, living blissfully at the beach house.

Hope: I know that’s what you want to have happen, steffy.

Steffy: That’s what’s gonna happen.

Liam: Well, okay, to be fair, the only reason ridge and brooke broke up in the first place was because of thomas’ whole stupid scheme with the fix–

Steffy: I admit, what my brother did was reckless, and I do feel bad for brooke, but it doesn’t erase the bond my parents created.

Hope: Even though a big part of it is based on a lie?

Finn: No. Ridge made it very clear that the cps call had no bearing on him wanting to marry taylor.

Liam: Yeah, true, but he didn’t go through with the wedding, so.

Steffy: Okay, part of me does wish I didn’t say anything and I let my mom tell my father about thomas after the ceremony. They still would be together right now.

Ridge: Did anything happen while I was gone?

Taylor: Well, I–

Charlie: And there he is. The big cheese. The grand fromage. Welcome back to los angeles, oh, exalted one. Get the sense that my timing is a little bad here. I’ll uh, circle back later.

Taylor: Alrighty. So, um, where were we?

Brooke: Well, um, we were wondering if ridge really does feel remorseful.

Taylor: Oh, that’s right.

Ridge: I do. I’m, uh– I’m more sorry than I could say. I’m trying to explain to you–

Taylor: We are not here to listen to your explanations or your apologies, so.

Brooke: No. You are here to listen to us.

Taylor: Yeah. To actually hear us. You’ve put us through a lot.

Steffy: It’s complicated things have been ratherkies last night.

Hope: Well, at least the kids seem unaware of all the concern. They had a blast decorating cookies last night.

Steffy: Yeah, they did. Kelly’s finalizing her list for santa, singing songs. I mean, it does feel normal at times.

Finn: It’s nice considering things have been rather unpredictable lately.

Liam: That’s the understatement of the decade. Somehow, I didn’t have sheila coming back from the dead on my bingo card.

Steffy: It’s complicated enough.

Hope: Yeah. And then we had thomas faking that cps call, trying to ruin my mom’s marriage.

Liam: See, that right there, I’ve given up on trying to predict everybody’s next move.

Steffy: Same, but I do have my suspicions.

Hope: Steffy, we all know you want your parents to ride off into the sunset together.

Steffy: I do.

Hope: Okay, just… you know, ridge has let you down before. That’s all I’m saying.

Finn: To be fair, we just need to wait it out.

Liam: We all know that you both want what’s best for your mothers.

Hope: Yeah, but at this point, it’s almost a guarantee that one of our moms is going to get her heart broken.

Steffy: Well, we do know how much brooke wants this to work out in her favor. I’m predicting a meltdown.

Charlie: Hi, everybody. And what a handsome group you are too.

Liam: Hey, charlie. How’ve you been, man?

Charlie: Well, I’ve been good. I, uh, don’t mean to interrupt, but I have some breaking news that you might want to hear.

Steffy: Is– is this about the raffle prizes for pam’s bake off because we really don’t need to hear that right now.

Charlie: No, it’s about– it’s about your right hand man. You’re co-compadre?

Steffy: What?

Charlie: Your dad. He’s back.

Steffy: Charlie, I know. Yeah, he’s coming home.

Charlie: N– no, no, no. I mean he’s back, back, back. He– ridge is on the premises.

Hope: Already?

Charlie: Yeah. He’s in the office de grand fromage having a tete-a-tete-a-tete.

Hope: So, who’s he with?

Steffy and hope: My mom?

Charlie: Affirmative. And affirmative.

Steffy: What do you mean, charlie? Is my father with my mom?

Hope: Or with mine?

Charlie: Well, ridge is with taylor.

Steffy: Oh, thank god.

Charlie: And brooke.

Hope: Wait, so ridge is with both of them?

Brooke: Taylor and i have been talking.

Ridge: You’ve been talking. Well that’s– that’s good.

Taylor: Is it good? Is it?

Ridge: Yes, it’s good. I’ve always said that you– you guys should talk to each other. You have a lot in common. You have a lot of– a lot of things to talk about, see eye to eye on a few things, right? Why not?

Taylor: Yeah, well we definitely see eye to eye on a few things now.

Brooke: Yup, yup. We have a lot more in common than we even realized.

Ridge: I’ve always been saying that.

Brooke: We’re mothers and we have successful careers and we’ve been waiting for the same man most of our adult life. So, did you… process any of your thinking?

Taylor: Well, I’m thinking he did because he went away to process and gain a new perspective, you know.

Brooke: Of course. And you went away too.

Taylor: I did too. I went away also. I went away to do the same thing and I kind of wanted to stay away, you know, like I’ve done in the past, but then I realized, I want to stay in los angeles.

Ridge: I’m not sure what you guys are doing here, but um, glad you’re back. For the kids.

Taylor: For the kids. For the kids, yup. That’s what this is all about. Yeah. Speaking of our kids, I should’ve told you what thomas did before the ceremony started, I know. But man, I was– I was thrown off balance. I… I kept thinking about all of the promises that you had made me in aspen. Your commitment to me, to our kids. I just… I wanted to believe you. I did believe you. I– I… I took you at your word. But I do want you to know that uh, the time we spent together was um… magic.

Brooke: And I want you to know that, uh, you’ve always been the love of my life, and you still are.

Taylor: You know, I’ve never known you as anything but a– but a wonderful man, a loving father. My heart… yeah.

Brooke: I feel the same way every breath that I’ve taken, every heartbeat has all been for you.

Taylor: My best friend.

Brooke: My destiny. But you can’t have both of us, ridge.

Ridge: I know. And I went away because I… I know I can only be with one of you.

Taylor: No.

Brooke: You can’T.

Liam: So, the three of them are together right now? Ridge, brooke and taylor. In one room.

Hope: Mm-hm.

Liam: Cool.

Hope: Yeah. Sounds pretty intense. I wonder what they’re talking about.

Finn: Well, whatever ridge does, whomever he chooses, I hope he lets the other one down gently.

Steffy: Yeah, my father’s not gonna be a jerk about it.

Hope: But it’s not really fair it’s up to him. I mean, he’s kind of… he has their future in his hands.

Steffy: I’m sure he’s not enjoying this. He’s not going to take it lightly.

Liam: Like we had to witness brooke suffering first hand when she thought it was like, over over and I– I– I do not want to watch her go through that again.

Hope: Yeah, I don’t think she’ll be the one hurting.

Steffy: You haven’t seen my parents together. The love they have between each other, the joy.

Hope: We could say the same thing about ridge and my mom. I mean, I grew up with it. I’ve heard all the stories, you know, about how they first met, my mom catering at the forrester estate. How they locked eyes from across the room and it was love at first sight, but I do have to say, I think that love is going strong.

Brooke: As much as I adore you, ridge, when you left me in aspen–

Ridge: I left you in aspen because I thought you betrayed me, my son and my family.

Brooke: I know. You told me you thought it was my voice, but it wasn’T. It was thomas! But the thing that really gets me is that you didn’t talk to me about it. You didn’t open up, and if you did, we could’ve handled it right then and there. Instead, you ran off to aspen, I followed you there, you walked away from me, I had no idea what was going on. I thought I did something. I mean, oh, my god! Who does that? What kind of man runs to taylor, to propose to her, all the while, he’s still married to me?

Ridge: I’m sorry I hurt you.

Taylor: You hurt both of us, ridge. I didn’t know any of this. Nothing. You came chasing after me, like literally chased me. You chased me up a mountain. Because I was running away from you, and I told you to leave. But you didn’T. You stayed. You stayed me and you convinced me and you pleaded with me and you told me that this time was different. Out of all the other times, this time was different because– because you had seen the light. And you knew what you wanted and that was me. For always. And then you promised me that you would… keep my heart safe. And I bought it. I bought it! And then what happens? We get engaged. And then, what did you do at the wedding? What– what happened at the wedding?

Ridge: What did I do or what happened?

Taylor: Both.

Ridge: Steffy objected.

Taylor: Oh okay, so that’s– that’s what you’re going to say to everything I just said. Sure, steffy objected. She knew that thomas had made that cps call on himself and she also knew how important it was to not start a marriage on a lie. And here’s what I was thinking. The same thing because if what you promised me in aspen was the truth, we would’ve gotten married regardless. But we didn’T. You walked away. You left me there with my heart shattered. Again. You lied! Why? This is wrong, ridge. Everything, everything you have done is wrong! God!

Brooke: Taylor’s right. What’s the #1 retinol brand brooke

Hope: Well then, you should

Steffy: Look, I know all about brooke and my father’s romantic history. Who doesn’t?

Hope: Well then, you should understand why a bond like that isn’t easily broken.

Steffy: I’m not clueless. I know on some level that my father will always love brooke. I just don’t want her to continue to be obsessed over him. Brooke was with my father for many, many years and now, it’s time for my father to be with my mother.

Hope: So now taylor gets a turn? Steffy, this is not how this should work.

Steffy: Look. Obviously, our mothers are fighting over the same man, and that man happens to be my father. You think that brooke needs my father and I think my mom does.

Taylor: We don’t need you, ridge.

Brooke: No. We are not weak women.

Ridge: I never said that you’re weak women. You are strong, independent women.

Taylor: You have no idea how strong we’ve had to be.

Brooke: We have been stuck in this same cycle for decades.

Taylor: For decades! You’ve had it good though. You have two families. One with me, one with brooke. You love two women. Lucky guy.

Brooke: But you can’t have two women. I mean, we both love you, ridge, but…

Ridge: But what?

Taylor: But we’re tired and exhausted, actually.

Brooke: Yes. We are better than this.

Taylor: We’re done fighting.

Brooke: We deserve to be happy.

Ridge: I agree. I always agreed with that.

Brooke: Good. Glad you agree.

Taylor: Mm-hm.

Brooke: Because taylor and I, we’ve made a decision. And we choose us.

Taylor: Yes. We choose ourselves. Our dignity, our self-respect. We’re done.

Brooke: We are done.

Taylor: We’re done.

Brooke: We are.

[ Both chuckling ]

Taylor: Goodbye, ridge.

Brooke: Goodbye. Come on, taylor.

Taylor: Yeah. Oh, one minute.

Update written by Dustin

At Spring Ridge, Ryan informed Heather that he knew she had left town while carrying their child. She didn’t even try to hide it and arrogantly insisted that she had gone to such great lengths to hide her from him that he would never find her. Heather was left completely dumbfounded when Ryan told her that she had been coming to visit him for quite some time. Heather then got very serious and said that it wouldn’t have been possible for either of them to have been parents. Ryan was certain that Heather had known that Esme had an internship at Spring Ridge. He explained that she had found him with something of his that had belonged to a former girlfriend. He admitted that he had always wondered what had happened to his “special chain of keepsakes.” Heather admitted that she had stolen it, and Ryan was visibly irritated. He declared that he would hold Heather responsible if anything landed in the wrong hands. Heather asked if that was a threat. Heather insisted that she had kept it in mostly good shape. Heather told Ryan that she had been wearing the chain on the day she gave their baby up for adoption. Supposedly, The baby had grabbed the chain, and the keepsakes had scattered all over the ground. Heather had thought that she had retrieved all of them. Ryan stated that Esme had used the keepsakes to find him. Heather wanted to hear all about their daughter.

Heather added that she had wanted to protect Esme because the world was full of terrible people like Heather. Ryan spoke about a strong young woman and shared that he and Esme had a special relationship, but he confided that she had been missing for quite some time. He revealed that Ava had thrown Esme over the parapet at Wyndemere although he knew she had survived that incident. He assumed that Esme wasn’t able to contact him right now because she was wanted by the police. “We will make them pay,” Ryan said about the Cassadine clan. Heather noted that Ryan wouldn’t be able to do much from his wheelchair, when he suddenly stood up. “People tend to underestimate me,” he said. Heather smiled broadly and rushed to Ryan’s arms. She was delighted, and she wondered what else Ryan might be able to do. They agreed that they had to find out what had happened to Esme and punish those responsible.

At Wyndemere, Nikolas showed up in Esme’s room to grant her a wish. She was happy that she might go outside to chop down a tree, but Demetrius carried a pint-sized tree into her room. She was angry, but Nikolas acknowledged that he would never allow her to go out to run away. He reminded her that she was nothing more than a vessel until their child was delivered.

Downstairs, Spencer was searching through every liquor cabinet in the place looking for an assortment of alcohol to dull the pain of being brutally rebuffed by Trina. He continued to drink until Nikolas appeared. Spencer announced that Victor had insisted that they stay at Wyndemere. Nikolas replied that it wasn’t healthy for them to share living space. He spied the bottle, and Spencer quickly said that he didn’t want a lecture. He admitted to losing his appetite and running out on his dinner with Victor.

Nikolas offered to listen to Spencer and said that he loved his son. Spencer thought that Nikolas was a “distinct minority.” Nikolas began to name the people who loved Spencer. “She said we’re not even friends anymore,” Spencer blurted out. He told Nikolas about seeing Trina and Rory at the restaurant and that Rory had professed his love for Trina right there for everyone to hear. He admitted that he knew why Trina had rejected him, and he admired her for finding someone with the courage to confess his feelings.

Spencer said he felt like he was still in prison, and he knew when there was no hope. Nikolas reminded him of a childhood book he loved as a kid, a story of a baby bird that had been saved. “Hold onto hope,” Spencer recalled. Nikolas thought it was a good lesson. He didn’t think it was too late, but Spencer was sure that Trina and Rory loved each other. Nikolas revealed that it was hope that got him through the darkest times, even though he kept making mistakes. He thought that he and Spencer both had persistence as a quality, and they didn’t give up on those they loved. He said he knew that Spencer loved Trina.

Back in Esme’s room, she decorated the tree with whatever she could find. She felt alone. She wanted help from her father, and soon after, Demetrius walked in. He handed a box to her. She opened it up and found some ornaments. She said that it meant a lot to her, and he hoped she would stop crying. Esme told her baby that its grandfather had shown her the way.

In Terry’s office at General Hospital, Elizabeth told Finn that she was pregnant after he spotted the bottle of prenatal vitamins. “Another man’s baby,” he said. Elizabeth was sorry, and Finn didn’t believe her. Elizabeth sighed. She told him that it had happened after her return from Monterey when she’d needed someone to talk to. He was angry and reminded her that he had always stood by her. He asked who the father was. “Nikolas,” Elizabeth replied.

Finn stormed out of the office and into his own. Elizabeth followed, as Finn struggled with his rage. He finally smashed a tray of glass items onto the floor. She told him that she had just found out. Finn assumed that Ava didn’t know. He guessed that congratulations were in order, and he promised he wouldn’t bother Elizabeth anymore. He stated that he would call the commissioner to report his suspicions about Esme being at Wyndemere. But, Elizabeth insisted that Esme was not on Spoon Island, and that she oughta know because she had been spending a lot of time there. Her words cut Finn deeply. Finn couldn’t believe what a fool he had been. Elizabeth told him that the boys didn’t know and she made him swear that he wouldn’t divulge the information. He said he would tell no one and left.

Trina wandered around her house and picked up the bottle of perfume that Rory had given her. She thought about their conversation until there was a knock at the front door. It was Ava, and Trina was glad that Ava was there to stop her from making a huge mistake. Trina told her about the three-month anniversary dinner, and she confessed that her heart had been taking her down the path to more heartbreak. Ava told Trina that she had lots of experience in that area. She wanted Trina to have happiness. “Even if it leads to Spencer?” Trina asked.

Ava related that she’d heard about Spencer being out of prison. Trina admitted that she couldn’t pretend to have feelings for Rory, even with all the hurt that Spencer and Esme had caused. Ava also suggested that evidence had been brought to light that seemed to point to another perpetrator being the Hook killer and not Esme. Trina was frightened for her friends and family again because this gave the killer an air of anonymity again.

Ava told Trina to listen to her heart. She thought that her own heart was loud and clear about Nikolas, but she didn’t know if she would listen. After Ava had gone, Trina thought about her friend’s advice. “Welcome home,” read the text she decided to send to Spencer.

Carly arrived at Metro Court just as Drew met up with Denise in the lounge area to discuss Willow’s childhood. Before Carly could make her way to observe, Willow called out to her. Willow announced that she was there for a date night dinner with Michael, but she received a call from him to tell her that he couldn’t make it. She asked Carly to join her instead.

Carly and Willow sat at a table, and Carly asked about Willow’s condition during her first pregnancy. She quickly apologized, and Willow explained that she didn’t like to talk about it because she had had no support from anyone at that time. Carly grabbed Willow’s hands as Willow expressed her gratitude for Michael’s family and the one she had “yet to discover.” She asked Carly about the search that Drew had been conducting, but Carly replied that it was Drew who was running that show. Willow hoped that he would have some news for her soon.

Willow also expressed how kind Carly had been to her and how happy she was that her kids would have Carly as a grandmother. She thought that so much could go wrong. Carly asked if Willow was okay, and Willow replied that she had been thinking of her new baby. She hoped it would be healthy and happy. Carly said she was sure it would be strong and healthy.

In the sitting area of the Metro Court bar, Drew and Denise chatted. Denise stated that the people in the commune had been lost, and he asked if Willow’s mother had been the same. Denise recalled Kali, now Willow, to have been sweet, which was a small miracle, considering her mother. She told Drew about the pregnant, drug addicted Joan, who had joined the commune and then abandoned her baby. Denise said that she was sweet but troubled. The commune leader, Josiah, had asked Harmony and her husband Doug to take the baby.

Drew asked about the baby’s father, but Denise didn’t know anything about him. She was glad to hear that Willow had a good life, husband and family, and she added that Willow’s biological mother had died of an overdose. The conversation drew to a close, and Denise decided to stick around to enjoy a colorful drink from the bar. She confirmed that Drew had been paying for her visit.

Drew made his way to Willow and Carly’s table with an update, and Carly insisted on leaving them alone. Drew thought he should verify the information first, but Willow wanted to hear it. He told her what he’d learned.

Carly found Denise and asked how the conversation with Drew had gone. Denise replied that she had handled the situation exactly as Carly had wanted her to.

At Wyndemere, Spencer received Trina’s text message, and he smiled at Nikolas. He announced that he wouldn’t have to drink anymore. “Hold onto hope,” Spencer said and he exited the room, leaving Ava standing at the door.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Nicole has a dream about getting back together with Eric, but then wakes up alone in bed.

Eric wakes up in bed with Sloan, who brings him coffee. Sloan comments that the coffee is hot but not nearly as much as he was last night as they kiss. Sloan asks if he has any regrets about last night.

Kate goes to Jada’s room and brings her tea. Kate comments that Jada looks good and relaxed. Jada responds that she’s feeling a lot better. Jada adds that she’s not happy that Eric is in jail but admits it’s a relief that he’s not right down the hall. Kate then reveals that Eric is no longer in jail as Roman told her they released him yesterday thanks to his new attorney, Sloan Peterson.

Eric assures Sloan that he has absolutely no regrets about last night. Sloan says she can tell something is wrong. Eric says he just has a headache since he doesn’t really drink a lot these days. Sloan offers an aspirin but Eric says he thinks he just needs some breakfast. Sloan offers a a granola bar but Eric says he was thinking something more substantial as they kiss in bed.

At the DiMera Mansion, EJ is on the phone with Susan’s husband Roger, understanding that he couldn’t change his plans considering Susan’s memorial was rather impromptu. EJ remarks that he hopes the woman who murdered Susan is burning in Hell, while Ava watches him from outside the side door.

Kate tells Jada that she thought she knew but Jada says she hasn’t heard from Eric. Kate thought Eric would’ve at least checked on her when he got out to see how she was doing. Jada guesses he feels there’s no reason to now. Kate feels that Eric owes her that much. Jada disagrees and decides she’s glad that Eric is staying away. Jada declares that she and Eric are history, so he’s somebody else’s problem now.

Eric reminds Sloan about how Belle said that getting in to bed with Sloan would be the worst mistake of his life. Eric states that he doesn’t think she could’ve been more wrong.

Johnny goes to Nicole’s room at the DiMera Mansion to get some of Susan’s things for the memorial. Nicole tells him that she’s sorry about Susan and says she was a sweetheart. Johnny apologizes for acting like a jerk when he found out that EJ was letting her stay here. Johnny tells Nicole that he really likes her and he really likes Rafe, so he hoped things would work out between them. Nicole says she was too but she realized that she and Rafe were wrong for each other from the start. Nicole declares that Rafe is a really good person while she is not and never will be.

EJ finishes his call with Roger. Ava looks to open the door but stops as Rafe arrives. EJ asks Rafe what he can do for him. Rafe responds that he needs a statement about Susan’s death as EJ missed two appointments to give him one. EJ doesn’t know what more there is to say. EJ repeats that the ransom exchange went badly, Ava panicked and drove off the road, killing herself and Susan. EJ calls it very unpleasant for him to talk about. Rafe understands and respects that he is grieving, but he needs more details. EJ asks why and says it’s a bit late to bring Ava to justice. EJ tells Rafe to let the dead stay dead, or rot in Ava’s case. Ava remains outside watching him through the door.

Eric tells Sloan about how he left the priesthood the first time for Nicole, but he went back when things didn’t work out, and the second time was on a technicality. Sloan asks if she can presume he won’t run off to the priesthood for a third time. Eric says that’s a safe bet as he had some clear signs that he was on the wrong path anyway. Eric then continues kissing Sloan.

Johnny opens a jewelry box and takes out a cross which he says is a symbol of all things important to Susan. Johnny says Susan was truer to herself than anyone he knew and she never cared what anybody else said or thought about her. Johnny comments that she never changed or even wanted to and he has to admire that about a person. Johnny says he was just a kid when Nicole was his stepmom, but he remembers that she took really good care of him and Sydney regardless of her relationship with EJ. Nicole says they were a delight. Johnny recalls Nicole staying up with him all night and reading him a bedtime story after he had eye surgery. Nicole can’t believe he remembers all that. Johnny says it meant a lot to him. Johnny adds that as much as Sami may have despised her and tried to convince him that she was a horrible person, he never believed her. Johnny says they loved spending time with her and says she was funny. Nicole calls him very sweet. Johnny says he has to get to the church and exits.

Steve goes to the Brady Pub and greets Roman at the bar. Roman comments that he got back from Seattle fast. Steve responds that he and Stephanie are going to fly back for Christmas to join Kayla, Tripp, and Joey. Roman asks how Tripp is doing. Steve says he’s still broken up about his mother. Roman is glad Steve could be there for him and says he was lucky to be in Seattle when Ava was killed. Steve responds that it wasn’t exactly luck.

Rafe tells EJ that if someone other than Ava was in any way involved in Susan’s death, he would want them brought to justice. EJ questions what he’s implying. Rafe finds it strange that EJ is so reluctant to tell him the whole story about what happened. EJ repeats that it’s very difficult for him to talk about. Rafe wants to start with why EJ didn’t call the police when Susan was missing. EJ responds that Ava threatened to kill Susan if he told anyone, so he thought it would be a good idea to handle it himself. Rafe brings up EJ saying that something went wrong with the ransom exchange, causing Ava and Susan to lose control, go off the cliff and die. Rafe asks what went wrong. Nicole then walks in and apologizes for interrupting as EJ greets her. Rafe is surprised and questions what the hell she’s doing here. EJ tells Rafe to use his detective skills and remarks that obviously Nicole spent the night.

Sloan tells Eric that his stamina was impressive but jokes that he has a lot of time to make up for. Eric tells her that casual sex was never in the cards for him since he had standard dreams of kids and a white picket fence but it became obvious to him that was never really in his cards, so he needed to stop fooling himself and getting emotionally involved. Eric wants to make it clear that he’s not really in to getting in to a relationship. Sloan assures that she is the same and that she’s never really believed in happily ever after. Eric is glad they are on the same page. Sloan toasts to no emotional attachment and just pure, wild, passionate sex if he’s up for it. Eric assures that he is and kisses her.

Nicole tells Rafe that it’s not what it looks like and explains that EJ offered her and Holly a place to stay until she finds a place. EJ confirms they are welcome to stay as long as they like. Rafe comments on how generous that is of EJ. Rafe tells EJ to enjoy the consolation prize since both of Nicole’s exes rejected her. Rafe adds that since EJ is determined to stonewall his investigation in to Susan’s death, he will find the information elsewhere. Rafe assures the case is not closed and he will find out the truth as to what happened between EJ and Ava. Rafe says he’ll be in touch and exits the mansion.

Roman asks Steve why he happened to go to Seattle in the first place. Steve calls it a long story to get in to. Jada and Kate come downstairs. Jada greets Steve and says it’s good to see he’s back. Kate asks how Tripp is doing. Steve responds that he’s hanging in there and thanks her. Roman asks how Jada is feeling. Jada says she’s much better and is actually heading to work. Steve asks if she was sick. Jada responds that she took a few days of medical leave, but she’s better now. Steve mentions that he’s heading to the police station as well and offers to give her a ride as he wants to discuss a police matter with her.

Ava hides out in the DiMera Crypt. Her vision of her dead son Charlie appears once again and says he heard today was the big day which Ava confirms. He presumes she has a plan. Ava says it’s simple, direct, and she doesn’t know why she didn’t think of it before. Charlie asks how they are getting their final revenge on EJ DiMera. Ava declares that EJ is going to die.

Eric reminds Sloan that he originally came over to pay his retainer so he still owes her and hopes that’s not the only reason he was welcome here. Sloan invites him to stay another night if he wants. Eric thanks her but says he should get back to the Pub. Sloan points out that he will run in to Jada there. Eric states that he’ll have to face her at some point.

Nicole goes to the Brady Pub and orders a black coffee to go. Nicole asks Kate if Jada is around. Kate responds that she missed her as she just left for work. Kate adds that she doesn’t think Jada wants to see her. Nicole responds that Jada can decide that. Kate remarks that Jada should make her own decisions. Nicole knows Eric blames her for Jada’s choice but argues that she did not force Jada’s hand. Kate questions if Nicole was doing Jada a favor by telling her how horrible her life would be if she had Eric’s baby. Roman points out that he and Kate were both on Nicole’s side and hoping that she and Eric would find their way back to each other. Nicole asks if he’s saying it’s all her fault and that she messed everything up. Nicole thought the baby was her and Eric’s biggest problem but it turns out their biggest problem is that there is no more baby.

Steve goes to the police station with Jada. Jada asks Steve about making a statement. Steve says he wants it on the record and he doesn’t want any secrets from Rafe, so he wants him to hear this too. Rafe then arrives at the station and asks what he wants him to hear. Steve then informs Rafe that EJ kidnapped Tripp and he needs to pay for it.

Ava’s vision of Charlie says he is confused since Ava’s original plan was to kidnap Susan and make EJ pay them back with blood, sweat, tears, and lots of money. Ava points out that EJ kidnapping Tripp changed things. Charlie questions if Ava driving Susan off a cliff and incinerating her wasn’t revenge enough for her. Ava responds that it wasn’t and she’s not going to let EJ live long enough to ever lay another finger on Tripp again.

Johnny goes to the living room of the DiMera Mansion and informs EJ that he took Susan’s cross to the church so it can be on display at the memorial. EJ thanks him and wishes he told him as he would’ve gone with him. Johnny says he didn’t want him to and acknowledges how hard this must be on EJ. Johnny still can’t believe it’s real. Johnny adds that Father Bernard did ask him if they wanted to arrange for some kind of marker in her memory since there are no remains. EJ admits he was thinking about that since he would like a place to visit where he can feel close to her. EJ suggests a plaque in the DiMera Crypt but notes that it’s getting full in there. EJ jokes that last time they added Jake, Stefan came back, so maybe someone else will rise from the dead this time. EJ then suggests they go to the Crypt to find a spot for Susan…

Charlie guesses it’s a good thing that their plan didn’t work out after all. Charlie remarks that he thought they were going to live happily ever after in the underworld but it turns out that Ava is hard to kill. Ava agrees and jokes that she must be on her 8th life now. Charlie points out that Ava had a chance to end EJ’s life while he was passed out on the roadside but she didn’t, so he questions why she didn’t.

Nicole asks how Jada is doing. Kate responds that she’s about as good as she’d imagine. Nicole tells Roman that she knows Kate is not interested in hearing her out, but she never intended for things to turn out this way and she’s sorry that Eric is hurting. Roman responds that Eric is responsible for his own actions, so it’s on him that he assaulted two people and wound up in jail. Roman asks if Nicole has heard from Eric since his release. Nicole confirms she did as he was with his new attorney. They ask her what he said. Nicole reveals that Eric said he never wanted to see her again. Roman questions when that was. Nicole says it was yesterday and asks why. Roman hopes that Eric didn’t get into any more trouble since he didn’t come home last night.

Eric tells Sloan that he knows he has to go back home and he can’t go back to working with Nicole. Sloan talks about how there’s no escape for him. Eric says he just needs time and a reset. Sloan tells him that he’s always welcome here with no strings as they are just friends with great benefits. Eric thanks her and says it’s been a long time since he had a real friend.

Jada questions Tripp being kidnapped and asks if he’s okay. Steve says he’s fine as he and Kayla managed to rescue him and that’s why they went to Seattle. Rafe questions thinking EJ is behind it. Steve says he knows it. Rafe says it makes sense since he knew something had escalated between Ava and EJ. Jada goes over that Ava kidnapped EJ’s mom, so EJ kidnapped her son. Steve explains that when they freed Tripp, EJ lost his leverage against Ava. Rafe says that made EJ desperate and a desperate EJ led to a ruthless Ava. Jada adds that it’s what led to Ava and Susan being killed in the car crash. Rafe says it all makes sense now as that is why EJ was so down at the crash site, since he knew that if he had just given Ava the ransom money then Susan would still be alive. Jada adds that EJ essentially kidnapped Tripp and committed a felony for nothing. Rafe questions Steve saying that he and Kayla rescued Tripp themselves. Steve confirms that they had to work fast and under the radar. Steve says he won’t apologize for doing what he had to do to save his son. Steve adds that Ava asked for his help while conveniently leaving out her part in getting Tripp kidnapped in the first place. Rafe questions why he didn’t get the authorities involved sooner. Steve explains that Ava begged him not to and he agreed to at least until he found that Tripp was safe. Steve adds that he would’ve come to Rafe right after that, but then they found out Ava died, so he didn’t want to leave Tripp. Jada says Steve is telling them now and that’s the important thing. Rafe points out that it’s all hearsay. Steve confirms that Ava told him that EJ kidnapped Tripp but he doesn’t know or have any proof and the henchman wouldn’t name names while now Ava is dead. Rafe bets EJ is feeling pretty good that there’s no proof of his involvement. Steve says that’s why he needs their help in figuring out a way to make EJ pay.

EJ suggests they go to the DiMera Crypt but Johnny stops him and says he doesn’t know if Susan would really want her marker to be in the family crypt. EJ asks why not. EJ knows Susan is technically not a DiMera but she is family. Johnny reminds him that the Devil held her hostage there so he doesn’t know if she’d want her memory to be associated with it for the rest of eternity. EJ decides Johnny may be right since it is gloomy down there and haunted by so many ghosts.

Charlie goes over how Ava and EJ struggled over the gun at the crash site until he fell and hit his head, then Ava was standing over EJ with the gun. Charlie asks why she didn’t kill him and if she lost her nerve. Ava responds that she wanted to give EJ more time to suffer with the guilt of what he did to his mother. Charlie asks if now EJ has suffered enough. Ava declares that he’ll never suffer enough, but she thinks that more people need to pay for the way they treated her and the perfect opportunity has presented itself. Ava declares that today will be their final act.

Jada tells Steve that she’ll do anything to help but points out that Tripp was kidnapped in Seattle which is out of their jurisdiction. Steve knows that limits what they can do. Rafe points out that EJ probably managed everything from here, so if they can prove that then they have jurisdiction. Jada and Rafe decide they are all in. Rafe adds that he’s all for anything he can do to bring down EJ.

EJ pours a drink. Johnny comments that it’s a little early for a drink. EJ says not these days and certainly not today. Johnny asks what happened today. EJ tells him that Rafe came by and tried to implicate him in Susan’s death. Johnny argues that he can’t do that. EJ remarks that Rafe was just angry that Nicole is staying there and tried to take it out on him. EJ brings up if Rafe asks Johnny any questions. Johnny says there’s nothing he could tell him as he only knows that EJ did everything in his power to bring Susan home safely. EJ agrees that he did and adds that Johnny is more than welcome to invite Wendy to the memorial to keep up the cover of them being romantically involved. Johnny thanks him. EJ adds that the entire family is going to be there, so they need to be very careful of what they say to each other so no one hears them talking about what they know. Johnny assures that if Stefan finds out that EJ brainwashed him, it’s not going to be from him.

Eric and Sloan eat together in bed. Sloan praises his cooking. Eric says he’s been cooking for himself for many years while Sloan says she’s been ordering in for many years. Eric suggests they clear the table. Sloan suggests they pick up where they left off. Sloan jokes about handcuffs and Eric getting his priest collar being a fantasy of hers’. Eric says he’s pretty free without the collar. They decide who needs clothing and agree to go shower together.

Nicole questions Roman about Eric not coming home last night. Roman says he even checked with Rafe to make sure he wasn’t back in lockup while Kate adds that they even checked the hospital. Roman is sure Eric is okay but he’s wondering where he could be. Kate asks if Nicole has any idea. Nicole says she doesn’t. Nicole then claims she remembered she had something to do and quickly walks out of the Pub, leaving behind her coffee order. Roman wonders where Nicole went in such a hurry. Kate thinks she was thrown by Eric not coming home. Roman says he’s worried about Eric. Kate responds that Nicole is too but for a completely different reason.

Eric and Sloan get out of the shower together. Sloan then answers the door to see Nicole and questions what she’s doing there as Nicole sees Sloan and Eric in towels.

Rafe tells Jada that he’s glad to see her back at work and asks how she’s feeling. Jada says she’s fine and tired of everyone acting like she’s a fragile little doll. Rafe says people just care about her. Jada just wants to focus on work and put everything with Eric behind her. Rafe says he would love to do the same with Nicole but it seems the universe is conspiring against him. Jada asks what happened now. Rafe informs her that he went to see EJ to question him and didn’t expect to see Nicole there, walking out in a bathrobe which shocks Jada. Rafe says evidently Nicole has moved in with EJ, which he was very happy to inform him of. Jada says she’s so sorry. Rafe says it’s okay as nothing Nicole does surprises him anymore, but he would like to wipe the smug grin off EJ’s face once and for all.

EJ tells Johnny that Harold will serve a luncheon after the service. EJ talks about how the food and music doesn’t matter as he just wants to honor Susan properly and he doesn’t want anyone to forget her. Johnny assures that no one will forget about her.

Ava says it’s a good thing that EJ was drunk that night and his brothers convinced him that he imagined the whole thing, so he still thinks she’s dead and will never see it coming. Ava declares that now she can get revenge on the whole lot of them. Ava declares it will be a memorable memorial as she then unveils a briefcase with a bomb inside and says it’s going to be a blast.

Young & The Restless Update

Y&R logo

Update written by Barbara

At Society, Traci sees Lily sitting at a table by herself, looking pensive and miserable so she goes over to Lily to greet her and says she’ll listen if Lily wants. Lily tells Traci that she was thinking about Billy and Traci picks up on things between Billy being more than just a little bumpy. Traci suggests to Lily that she not give up on love and urgers her to talk to Billy and let him know that he has some work to do, also.

Meanwhile, Billy goes to the Glam Club, where he runs into Daniel. He sits down with Daniel and things become strained between the two men. The only thing Daniel will say about his secret project is that it is a platform that will be helpful to people. Daniel comments on Billy’s decision to leave Chancellor Winters. Billy does not want to talk with Daniel any further so he excuses himself and says he has email to do.

At Jabot, Tucker convinces Ashley to join him for an outdoor picnic. When they get to where he has had everything set up, with a large picnic basket of food and hot cider.

He talks to her about his accident and how it made him realize how much he wants to be involved in Devon and his grandson’s lives. The conversation turns to business and Tucker suggests that Ashley leave Jabot to start an enterprise of her own with him.

At the Abbott house, Jack is at his desk with his laptop open. Harrison comes home from school and shows Jack a drawing he made. He him that it’s for DiDi and asks when she is coming back. Jack goes over to the couch and has Harrison sit down next to him. He gently explains that DiDi had to go away on a trip for awhile and she will be gone longer than his daddy’s trip. He also tells Harrison that DiDi will be thinking of him every single day while she’s gone.

When Harrison asks if DiDi will be there for Christmas, Summer has him speak with Kyle on the phone because she thinks it would be helpful for Harrison to hear his daddy’s voice.

After Harrison goes into the kitchen with Mrs. Martinez, Jack and Summer talk about Jeremy Stark and Jack declares that if Jeremy doesn’t leave on his own, he will get rid of him when he finds his “Achilles heel” because everyone has one.

Jack also tells Summer that he’s well aware of how Diane kept a lot of secrets, but adds that it seems like Diane has been playing defense ever since she came back to Genoa City. He also mentions that he feels Diane has truly tried to reinvent herself.

Summer understands Jack’s support of Diane because she’s Kyle’s mother, but she also admits that she held out hope for Jack and Phyllis to ultimately be back together.

Meanwhile, Phyllis meets with Jeremy at the Crimson Lights patio. She is very uncomfortable with wide eyes, eventually leaning in and speaking to Jeremy in a hushed tone. Phyllis eventually admits to Jeremy that she was the woman who called him and told him where he could find Diane. She also lets him know that she has no proof of Diane going to the Feds and it resulting in him going to prison.

Phyllis says that everything is speculation on her part because no one is telling her anything. She adds that since Diane left her son and grandson, this means she must be scared. Jeremy and Phyllis end their conversation, he tells her to have a good day and he walks through the coffeehouse to go out the front door.

Phyllis goes to Jabot and tells Jack and Summer that she met with Jeremy. She lets them know that she eventually told Jeremy the truth – that she was the one who tipped him off about Diane being in Genoa City, which resulted in Diane bolting in fear. This is also an admission to Jack and Summer that Phyllis let Jeremy know Diane’s whereabouts.

Jack goes off on Phyllis for making things worse when he had told her to stay away from Jeremy. He tells her that what she has done is “classic Phyllis”, going on a tirade and hoping everyone will give her a pass when she finally acknowledges the damage she has done.

He then tells her in no uncertain terms that he is done with her. When she asks if what he means by that, if it’s coming from him as Jack Abbott or as CEO of Jabot, he answers that it’s both. Phyllis asks if he is firing her and he reminds her that she reports directly to Summer and Kyle at Marchetti. He adds that if it were up to him, he would fire Phyllis this second.

Phyllis realizes that whether or not she will continue to have a job with Marchetti is in Summer and Kyle’s hands. Summer looks uneasy.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Traci: Lily. Lily?

Lily: Oh, my god. Traci. Sorry. Hi. I didn’t hear you.

Traci: Hi.

[ Chuckles ] That’s okay. Everybody’s minds are a million miles away this time of year, you know, going over our shopping lists and trying to figure out who’s naughty and who’s nice. I mean, I always think everyone’s nice, and then I look at my list and think about it. I am surrounded by some extremely naughty people.

[ Both laugh ]

Lily: I know. I think I have a lot of the same people on my list.

Traci: I think you do. I hope I’m not intruding.

Lily: No, never. Please sit. Sit down.

Traci: Thank you. Okay. For a minute. So, are you alright?

Lily: Oh, yeah. I’m fine.

Traci: Oh, good. Because when I first stepped in, your mind was a million miles away, and I don’t think you were going over your shopping list.

[ Chuckles ]

Lily: No, no, no, no. I was just thinking about billy.

Billy: [ Sighs ] And here I thought this was my little secret.

Daniel: What do you mean?

Billy: Well, ever since this place opened, around this time of the day, it’s usually a ghost town. So I come here to, you know, get a little space.

Daniel: You know, most people would go to libraries for that kind of quiet.

Billy: They don’t serve scotch at the library.

Daniel: Very true. Beverages were an incentive for me, too.

Billy: Which explains why we’re both here at the same time.

Daniel: I suppose so.

Billy: Lucky us.

Tucker: Well, how fortuitous. The very person I was looking for.

Ashley: Really?

Tucker: Yes.

Ashley: And you found me at my workplace. What are the chances?

Tucker: Are you free for a bit?

Ashley: Um…yeah, actually.

Tucker: Good.

Ashley: I was here to talk to jack, but he’s not in.

Tucker: Oh, yeah, I suspect you want to talk to jack about more than jabot.

Ashley: Why do you say that?

Tucker: I ran into diane last night. She said she’s leaving town.

Ashley: Yeah. Jack excoriated me over what he thinks is my role that I played in her abrupt departure, so —

Tucker: He excoriated you?

Ashley: Yeah.

Tucker: You don’t deserve that. Maybe a gentle scolding, but excoriation seems a bit

[Laughing] Excessive.

Ashley: Did you come here just to be condescending or…?

Tucker: Well, I also wanted to see you. I thought we made good progress yesterday at lunch, and I want to keep that, you know, momentum rolling. So I’ve come to ask you if you’d care to accompany me on a drive.

Ashley: In the middle of the workday?

Tucker: It’s a beautiful workday outside. And you never know. This time tomorrow, the roads could be covered with ice and snow. It might be our last chance to take a little drive around the lake till spring.

Ashley: Are you going to ignore the rules of the road like you did in monte carlo?

Tucker: Never again. No, I’ve traded in all my superfast high-performance sports cars.

Ashley: Mm. For what? Your 17th bentley?

Tucker: [ Chuckling ] No. Beat-up pickup truck.

Ashley: Mm. So, if I was supposed to go someplace with you, where would we go?

Tucker: I’m not gonna spoil the surprise for you.

Ashley: I could use some fresh air. Let’s do it.

Tucker: Let’s do it.

Summer: We’re home!

Jack: Hey! How was school today?

Harrison: Great

Summer: Show grandpa jack the drawing that you drew.

Jack: Let me see. Wow. That’s lovely.

Harrison: I made it for dee dee.

Summer: I told him that you would hold on to it until she gets back.

Jack: You know what? I know the perfect place on the refrigerator for this.

Harrison: When is dee dee coming back?

Summer: He thought that she might be home for dinner.

Jack: I’ll tell you what. Come with me. Come sit with me. We’re gonna have a little talk together.

Phyllis: Mr. Stark.

Jeremy: “Jeremy.” Please. The last person who called me mr. Stark was the judge who sentenced me to prison.

Phyllis: Oh.

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ]

Phyllis: Jeremy. I’m surprised you’re still here.

Jeremy: Why would you say that?

Phyllis: You don’t seem like a patient person.

Jeremy: I could say the same about you.

Phyllis: Oh. Have you researched me?

Jeremy: A bit. But I just felt that this was a conversation worth waiting for. Please sit down. Coffee’s on me. It’s the least I could do after you gave me that information on taylor jenson. I mean — diane jenkins.

Phyllis: I know who you’re talking about.

Jeremy: It’s good to put a name and a face — and a beautiful face — to the anonymous caller that helped me track down diane here in genoa city.

Phyllis: I didn’t make that call.

Jeremy: Well, diane made it pretty clear that you had it in for her. She was pretty confident.

Phyllis: Was she?

Jeremy: Yeah.

Phyllis: Well, there’s definitely mutual animosity between diane and myself. But just because she said that i made the call does not make it true.

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] Well, if it wasn’t your distinctive voice on the other end of the phone, why did you want to meet me?

Phyllis: Why are you here? What exactly are your plans?

Jack: I know your daddy had to go away on a business trip. He’ll be back soon. And dee dee had to take a trip, too. She may be back a little later. But she asked me to tell you that she’s gonna be thinking of you every single day.

Summer: And she loves you very much.

Jack: Yes, she does. Hey, I know you’re disappointed. I know how much fun you and dee dee have together, but you know what? When she gets back, you’re just gonna have extra fun.

Summer: Yeah, it’s gonna be snowing soon, and you guys can go sledding and build a snowman.

Jack: Yeah, there’ll be so many things you can do together. Won’t that be exciting?

Summer: Yeah. You know what would make you feel better, I think? Calling your daddy. And I think that he would like that, too.

Harrison: Will dee dee be back for christmas?

Jeremy: I came here to catch up with an old friend.

Phyllis: And?

Jeremy: That’s all.

Phyllis: I mean, I’m sure you have other friends. Why the urgency to connect with diane?

Jeremy: Well, diane’s special. And she has something that belongs to me, and I need to get it back. So I booked the first flight out to this charming city after i got that anonymous call.

Phyllis: You could have just picked up the phone and called her.

Jeremy: Oh, no. Face-to-face. ‘Cause I can always tell if someone’s lying to me. That’s why I invited you to have coffee with me. So, enough small talk. Let’s get down to business.

Lily: I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that about billy. You just — you caught me off guard, and I kind of blurted it out.

Traci: But it was a completely honest response, right? You were thinking about billy.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, I was.

Traci: I imagine things are a little bit bumpy between the two of you right now.

Lily: Why do you say that?

Traci: Thanksgiving. When the two of you stopped by the house, things seemed just a little off, like you were on different pages of the same book.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] That is a perfect way to describe it.

Traci: And I’m sure it’s been difficult since billy decided to step down as coo. I imagine that threw some wrenches in the plans.

Lily: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I was definitely thrown when he wanted to leave, you know? But I understood his reasons. It was terrible timing, though, ’cause that’s also when nate left. So it was really hard.

Traci: Yeah, I heard about that.

Lily: Yeah. There was just a lot of turnover to deal with. You know, just a lot of things that I thought I could count on have fallen apart.

Traci: So, would you say that things between you and billy are more than just a little bumpy right now?

Lily: You could say that.

Traci: [ Sighs ] I am so sorry.

Lily: So am I.

[ Inhales sharply ]

Billy: So I’ve heard more about your possible project at chancellor-winters.

Daniel: Really? What’d you hear?

Billy: That it’s an amazing project and it’s, um, exciting enough to keep you in town for a while.

Daniel: Well, I wish I could tell you more, but the ceo doesn’t want me to reveal too much. So, if she hasn’t told you herself…

Billy: Yeah, well, I’m sure she’ll tell me eventually. I mean, if she decides to greenlight it, of course.

Daniel: Mm. You know, I can say that I’m thinking big picture. You know, I really want to create something massive and aspirational.

Billy: That is perfectly vague.

Daniel: It’s a shame that you chose to leave chancellor-winters. I think that you’d actually be excited about this project. You know, you’d appreciate the vision, anyway.

Billy: Yeah, well, if I was there, I’d probably screw it up, so count your blessings. You’ll be in good hands with devon and lily. Me, personally, it was just time to move on.

Daniel: To?

Billy: Excuse me?

Daniel: You’re moving on to what? What’s next for billy abbott? Vo: It’s a new day.

Ashley: How did you have time to do all this?

Tucker: I had help.

Ashley: Yeah. Expensive help.

Tucker: Is there any other kind?

[ Breathes deeply ] Well, you said you could use some fresh air. It doesn’t get any fresher than this.

Ashley: Yeah, that’s very true, it doesn’T.

Tucker: Uh, there are, uh, sandwiches here, uh, hot cider in here.

Ashley: Yeah, well, you scored a lot of points for effort.

Tucker: Yeah, I think winter picnics are underrated, don’t you?

Ashley: Probably ’cause they’re kind of freezing. Ah. Right.

Tucker: [ Breathes deeply ]

Ashley: So, of all the places that you could have taken me, why did you choose this?

Tucker: Oh, just wanted to get you away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Work and family and all the other reasons you hate me.

Ashley: I don’t hate you.

Tucker: Mm.

Ashley: I don’t trust you.

Tucker: [ Chuckles ]

Ashley: They’re very different.

Tucker: Yeah. I’m gonna continue to try to change your mind about that and prove that I am worthy of your trust. Meanwhile… please.

Ashley: Thank you.

Jeremy: Now, I want to know where you got the information that diane turned me in to the fbi.

Phyllis: I told you that i was not the one who made the phone call.

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] Ooh, I gotta hand it to you. You stick to a story like nobody’s business. That is an admirable skill where I come from. So, let me lay it out for you. If diane was responsible for turning me into the feds, I have every reason to be angry with her, agreed?

Phyllis: I don’t know where you’re going with this.

Jeremy: It seems that you have many attributes that could be of service to me. You aren’t necessarily bound by conventional morality, and i am very, very motivated to see diane.

Phyllis: I know what you’re getting at. You think I know where diane is, and you want me to help you find her. And when you find her, you intend to make her pay for what she did to you, right?

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] Oh, I couldn’t imagine you would have a problem with that.

Summer: Harrison is taking the news about diane really hard, but I do think it made him feel better to hear your voice. Alright. Yeah, let’s talk after dinner. I love you.

[ Breathes deeply ] Where is harrison now?

Jack: He’s in the kitchen with mrs. Martinez. When I left, he was helping her cut away the crust the way he likes it.

Summer: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: How are things in the cabin?

Summer: Oh, kyle says that diane is finally settling in. She’s not happy that she’s stuck there, but she knows it’s for the best.

Jack: Only you, kyle, and i know where she actually is. We cannot risk stark stumbling onto her actual location.

Summer: She can’t stay at the cabin forever.

Jack: Look, once kyle is back, we will work on a plan to neutralize this guy and get him away. Until we do that, diane has no life here to return to.

Summer: [ Sighs ] I wonder what it’ll take to get him to walk away.

Jack: It’s not gonna be easy. When I offered to pay him off to leave diane alone, he turned me down flat.

Summer: It can’t just be all about the cash.

Jack: It’s not. No, he has a score to settle with diane. But with any luck, maybe he’ll leave town on his own once he realizes she ran away to get away from him. And if that doesn’t work, we’ll try something else. Look, everyone has an achilles heel. I will find stark’S. Who says you have to spend more on skincare

Lily: I don’t know. I just feel like billy and i aren’t in sync right now. You know, we used to always be on the same page when it came to work and our relationship, but — [ Sighs ] I don’t know. I feel like his focus has shifted.

Traci: Lily, he’s not gambling again, is he?

Lily: Oh, no, no, no. Nothing like that.

Traci: Oh.

Lily: No. It’s almost like he needs to find a new purpose because he’s realized the corporate world is not what he wants.

Traci: Ah. He has done this before a few times. I don’t know. He just throws himself body and soul into whatever big new thing he sees for himself.

Lily: Yeah. And it’s completely taken over his life. So, in turn, it’s taken over mine, you know? Like, right now I’m sitting here and I have so much that I need to work on and focus on and I — I’m just thinking about billy and, “what is he gonna do next?” You know? It’s like we just keep going in circles, and [Sighs] I want it to stop, you know? But I — I don’t really know how.

Billy: Why would my future be any concern to you?

Daniel: I didn’t mean anything by it. I’m just curious.

Billy: Okay. Well, you know, I’m still trying to figure it out. Got options here, options there. A little bit stuck in the middle.

Daniel: It’s good to have choices.

Billy: It is, but it does feel strange to be questioned about them by you of all people.

Daniel: Of all people? Hmm. [ Chuckles ] I’m not really sure how to interpret that.

Summer: Harrison’s upstairs with the nanny for his nap.

Jack: I’m glad someone in this house is getting some sleep these days. This whole stark situation has all the grown-ups on edge. And I want this to be resolved before harrison starts picking up on the tension.

Summer: You’ve put him first since the day he came into our lives.

Jack: He is completely innocent in all of this. Yes, diane brought some of this on herself, but I’m not going to rest until I know she’s safe.

Summer: You two have grown so close. It’S…sweet how protective you are of her.

Jack: It feels like there’s a question in here somewhere.

Summer: I guess I’m just wondering how you can so easily forgive diane, but you couldn’t do the same with my mom.

Jack: I see.

Summer: This is coming from somebody who is furious with my mom right now. She crossed the line. She brought this criminal to town, and she put us all in jeopardy, but how many times did diane say that there were no more secrets and then — surprise! — There was another one?

Jack: Summer, summer, hear me out. Ever since diane came back, she has gone to great lengths to show she’s a different person than the one who faked her death, who turned all our lives upside down. Yes, I am not forgetting the things she tried to cover up, but I’m starting to understand why she did it. She was afraid that tucker would undo all the progress she’d made with kyle, that if we all knew about stark that we’d judge her and cut her loose.

Summer: Even though her involvement with him supposedly ended a long time ago?

Jack: Exactly. She has been playing defense since she got to genoa city. All these accusations and innuendoes coming from every corner. At the same time, she’s trying to prove her worth as a mother and a grandmother. I think you and I will agree she’s made some real strides there. She doesn’t want to make the same mistakes. She has truly tried to reinvent herself. She’s defending herself against attacks from ashley and nikki and especially phyllis.

Summer: I guess that’s fair.

Jack: Summer, your mother has been on the warpath since we discovered that diane was alive.

Summer: I can see where you’re coming from, but —

Jack: There is a deep connection between phyllis and me that goes back to before you were born. It’s been a giant part of my life, and, no, I never thought it would disappear, but… summer, I can’t do it anymore. I can’t sit back and say, “well, that’s who phyllis is,” every time something like this happens, especially in a situation like this, where who she is has created real danger for all of us.

Jeremy: The woman who called me must have realized how i would react when I found out i was serving a heavy prison sentence because my former partner betrayed me. Now, I don’t think it’s out of bounds to consider her an ally. Her and diane have different problems, but the feelings were mutual. We want the same thing. You know what I’m saying, right?

Phyllis: [ Breathes sharply ]

[ Sighs heavily ] I called you. I was the one who called you.

Jeremy: You see?

Phyllis: [ Sighs ]

Jeremy: Doesn’t that feel better?

Phyllis: I called you because I knew that you would scare diane out of town. I have no proof that she went to the feds.

Jeremy: None? Not an overheard conversation or a legal document lying around?

Phyllis: No. I have no proof. It’s just speculation.

Jeremy: So, you lied to me?

Phyllis: I needed her out of town. I needed this woman out of town. Do you understand? And I knew if you came into town, she would leave. She would leave because she would be scared. And you know what? The people of genoa city — we thank you. We thank you so much for doing this. And it’s my responsibility. I’m the one who’s responsible for lying to you. And let me just say, from the bottom of my heart, I am sorry. I am so sorry. I’m sorry that I inconvenienced you. I’m sorry that — that you’re here. But you know what? You — you can go back to — to california or L.A. Or — or wherever you want now. We’re done. And — and I apologize. And — and just know it all happened because of me. When you really need to sleep.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Ashley: Well, that was delicious.

Tucker: Good.

Ashley: You’re such a smart guy, aren’t you? Getting the food from that bistro in the warehouse district that you remembered that I love.

Tucker: Mm-hmm. I remember everything.

Ashley: Yeah, you do, don’t you? Quite an eye for detail.

Tucker: Oh, yeah. I always have. And it’s even more acute since my crash in monte carlo. I — I — I notice the little things even more now. Like how there’s just a tad too much cinnamon in that cider. But I like it anyway.

[ Inhales deeply ] And someone’s burning a fire. You smell that? I love that smell. Ah. Look that way again.

Ashley: Why?

Tucker: ‘Cause of your eyes.

Ashley: God.

Tucker: I’m serious. Your eyes just sparkle in the afternoon sun.

Ashley: Oh, please. Really?

Tucker: Yes.

Ashley: Come on.

Tucker: I’m being honest. No, that crash really changed me. It did. I reevaluated my entire life, and [Chuckles] I found it sorely lacking. I was, um, missing out on love.

Ashley: I’m supposed to believe that you were actually missing out on love? All these years, no love for you, tucker?

Tucker: Well, you know what I’m talking about. I’m not talking about just romantic love. I missed out on so much with devon. I feel a lot of regret when it comes to him. So now I just want to really know him. And my grandson. Our grandson.

Ashley: Yeah. What a cute little boy.

Tucker: I know. And I don’t think it’s too late, either, ’cause I think I can start to create a bond with devon. I think deep down in his heart, he wants the same. And since I’ve been back, I’ve really created a foundation on which we can build a better and stronger relationship than we’ve ever had before. And I’d love to work with him, of course, just the way he did with neil. I think we could do great things together.

Ashley: It’s interesting hearing you go on about this.

Tucker: Why is that?

Ashley: Is that your intention? You want to get a piece of chancellor-winters so you can work beside devon?

Tucker: What makes you say that?

Ashley: Well, if I’m interpreting what you said correctly, you’re not gonna be truly satisfied until you have both a personal and a professional relationship with your son. And I just can’t help but draw a parallel between, you know, the two of us.

Tucker: Hmm.

Ashley: Because, you know, you’re working overtime to rebuild our relationship, correct? And I remember what diane said about you wanting her to get the financial information about jabot before you went after her company, so…

Tucker: Well, I thought you dismissed that whole idea as ridiculous.

Ashley: Why would I dismiss something like that? I wouldn’T. I think what I said is you would be stupid and perhaps foolish to make that kind of a play. But it kind of sounds like maybe that’s what you’re doing with devon and his company. I’m just wondering if maybe — are you going after chancellor-winters and jabot?

Summer: Thank you for taking the time to explain things to me. I feel like I have a little bit better grasp on things. You and I might not ever agree on the topic of diane, but i guess I can understand why you’re willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Jack: Thank you for hearing me out. Thank you for offering your understanding.

Summer: I mean, it comes down to kyle, right? He loves his mom, and you have to support that.

Jack: Just as you have to support your mother, even though you’re very angry at her right now.

Summer: Yeah.

[ Sighs ] I guess I just sort of always held out the hope that you two would work things out, settle down together.

Jack: I promise you I’m sorry to disappoint you.

Summer: No, it’s fine. It’s just… I feel sad for my mom. She can’t seem to get out of her own way. She doesn’t realize that her actions are costing her things that could make her so happy. She’s her own worst enemy.

[ Breathes deeply ]

Jeremy: Well, this has been, um…illuminating.

[ Chuckles ] Thank you very much for the talk.

Phyllis: I’m relieved I came clean.

Jeremy: Yeah, and I feel terrible that I assumed the worst of my old flame.

Phyllis: I am very, very sorry I inconvenienced you. I can’t apologize enough.

Jeremy: Oh, no worries. You’re not the only one who needs to apologize. I really need to make things right with diane. Where did you say she was off to?

Phyllis: Okay, I was telling you the truth. I have no idea where she is.

Jeremy: But you can find out.

Phyllis: I can’t find out. Nobody is telling me. Nobody’s telling me. I mean, she left without her grandson or her son, so she’s definitely scared.

Jeremy: Hmm.

[ Chuckling ] I can’t imagine why. You have a good day.

Tide pods ultra oxi

Jack: I got a crazy busy afternoon. What does yours look like?

Summer: Back-to-back meetings, but I should be able to get home in time to have dinner with harrison.

Jack: Oh, with kyle gone, that’ll mean a lot to him. I’m not gonna deal with your mother. You’re on your own.

Phyllis: I need to talk to both of you, actually.

Jack: If it’s about business, talk to your daughter. She’s your boss. If it’s anything else, I’m not interested.

Phyllis: It’s about jeremy stark! I met with him.

[ Sighs ] I need to tell you both what happened.

Billy: I guess all I’m saying is that, uh, you, of all people, have never been interested in my occupational future in the past, so why would you now, you know? I mean, you’re an artist. What do you care about the rat race?

Daniel: A lot has changed. I mean, I’ve changed. My world has expanded. You know, my point of view has adjusted. I would think you of all people would understand that.

Billy: I’m not sure how to interpret that.

Daniel: I mean, you’ve not always really been the corporate type. You’ve got a very colorful résumé with a dozen or so different careers. You know, like the time you owned the restaurant.

Billy: Yeah. Won that in a poker game.

Daniel: Right. And you’ve always been open to new opportunities. You’re lucky. You know, when they’ve presented themselves or when they do present themselves, you’re gonna have a partner who is supportive. One would hope that you would return the favor and be supportive of lily, as well.

Billy: Not sure what you’re thinking. I’ve been nothing but supportive to lily.

Daniel: Yet you chose to walk away just as the situation at chancellor-winters started to get a little bit dicey. You know, lily — she was struggling, and it was almost as if you abandoned her. I mean, you must have been very unhappy there.

Billy: This is a big place. I’m gonna go find a little space over there so I can, uh, work on my e-mails. Good luck with your project.

Daniel: I mean, I can tell you this much. It’s a platform to help people find their purpose.

Billy: Huh.

Lily: I’m sorry. I don’t mean to dump all this on you. I don’t want to put you in an uncomfortable position. I know that I should be talking to billy about this. It’s just that we’ve been talking past each other these days.

Traci: [ Sighs ] Maybe you need an objective third party to help you navigate these troubles.

Lily: Are you volunteering?

[ Both laugh ]

Traci: I said objective. I mean, I’m his sister, and I’m your friend. I like to think I’m fair, but, no, I mean a really objective third party.

Lily: You mean like a couples counselor?

Traci: Yeah. I’ve had so many friends who have really improved their relationships by getting professional help. I know it’s helped me.

Lily: No, I mean, I like it. You know, it’s proactive, and i think it’s a step in the right direction.

Traci: Do you think billy would go?

Lily: Um…I don’t know. I mean… I don’t know. We’re so not on the same page. I can’t really guess what he’s thinking.

Traci: Lily, don’t give up on him. Billy needs you. I know that I don’t need to explain to you that relationships go through these rough patches, but I really want to think that that’s all there is going on between you and billy right now because I can see how much the two of you love each other. And those deep feelings don’t just go away.

Lily: I don’t know. I just feel like it’s slipping through my fingers, and I kind of feel like I’m the only one who’s trying to hold it all together.

Traci: Okay, then you need to tell him that. You need to tell him that you cannot do this alone and maybe get through that thick, stubborn, gorgeous skull of his that he has some work to do here. Your heart is the beat of life.

Tucker: You know, it’s unbelievable. Everybody, including you and devon, thinks that my intentions are hostile.

Ashley: Well, your whole career has been built on hostility. Your business card read “tucker mccall, disruptive entrepreneur.” Remember that gem?

Tucker: That was the old me. I want to make something perfectly clear to you. Any working relationship i entered into with devon I would want to be mutually agreed upon. And the same thing goes for you and me.

[ Sighs ] Oh, ashley. I want to work side by side with you. I really do. You’re so brilliant. You are, and the way your mind works…

[ Clicks tongue ] It’s exciting.

Ashley: [ Chuckles ] Hmm.

Tucker: Can you imagine what we would accomplish together?

Ashley: Okay, but you’d never be welcome at jabot. You know that.

Tucker: No fooling?

Ashley: Yeah.

Tucker: Well, there are other options. For instance, if I were to propose to you that you quit your family business and let me help you build your own empire, what would you say to that?

Phyllis: Jeremy stark asked to meet with me.

Jack: And you obliged?

Phyllis: Yes. Um…he was certain that I knew about diane’s whereabouts and that I was the one who called him. I said it wasn’t me. I denied it. But then I decided to try something new. I told him it was me.

Jack: Wait, you admitted the truth?

Phyllis: Yes. It was me.

Jack: [ Breathes deeply ]

Phyllis: It was me. I told him that I suggested that diane went to the feds and — and — and I was the one who called him and then diane ran scared out of town because i lured him here. I told him everything. I also suggested that he go back to california.

Summer: [ Scoffs ] Well, I’m glad that you’re finally coming clean about your involvement, mom, but that doesn’t change the fact that you’re the one that started all of this.

Jack: What, were you expecting a thank-you or maybe a round of applause? Summer’s right. We wouldn’t be having this conversation, we wouldn’t be in this situation if you hadn’t set all this in motion.

Phyllis: What are you talking about? I tried to do what was right.

Jack: You tried. Is stark going to leave town, as you suggested?

Phyllis: I don’t know, but i got the feeling he’s staying here because he also told me that he needed to meet up with diane because she has something he wants?

Jack: I thought you fixed things. It sounds like you made them a whole lot worse.

Phyllis: No, that wasn’t my intention.

Jack: God, this is classic phyllis — going on a tirade, hoping everyone will give you a pass when you finally acknowledge the damage you’ve done. I told you to stay away from him. But you couldn’T. I’ve said this before. I’ll say it again. I’m done with you.

Phyllis: What? I mean, what, as jack abbott or as ceo of jabot?

Jack: Both. I don’t know if I’m more furious or disappointed. Yes, there was a little part of me actually hoping you were telling me the truth when you looked me square in the eye and said you didn’t call him. But you lied — because you never, ever change.

Phyllis: That is not fair.

Jack: I told you what the consequences would be if I found out that you reached out to stark.

Phyllis: Are you firing me?

Jack: You report directly to summer and kyle. Hopefully, they will make the right decision about you. If it were left up to me, I would fire you this second.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Okay, tell me everything. About? Your poli-sci lecture.

[ Chuckles ] The dinner with rory. Did he like your outfit? Um… he kept saying I looked cute. Well, I’m sure you did. What else? This is when you tell me all the details. What’s wrong? Did you know spencer’s out of prison?

[ Knock on door ] You wanted to see me, commissioner? Come in. Have a seat. Remember the domestic you broke up last week? Uh, the landry case. I heard you waited in the er with the wife for two hours. I didn’t want to leave before she was seen. But it was the end of my shift. I was off the clock. I — don’t worry. You’re not in ouble. Actually, quite the opposite. Ms. Landry came in today. She’s gonna press charges against her husband.

[ Sighs ] Uh, the way she was talking, I wasn’t sure she’d go through with it. She actually said it was because of you. Rachel realized her husband never would have sat with her for that long. Unlike you, a complete stranger. She decided she deserves better. Nice work, officer cabrera. Thanks, brother. Thank you. Spencer: Hey. Spencer. What are you doing — I-I had no idea that you were out. Surprise. Oh, my god. Th– this is — this is awesome. Welcome home, man. Thank you. Okay, I’m confused. Did I get the dates mixed up? Because I’m pretty — no, I got released a few weeks early. Yeah. Hope you, uh, learned a thing or two from your time in there. Well, not to get caught, for one. Oh.

[ Chuckles ] Kidding. I have no intention of ever going back to prison. So from here on out, I’ll play by the rules. I’ve never hosted a party before, so I want this to be epic. Ah, it will be. The good people of port charles will be talking about it for years to come. Something to remember me by. Oh, but I did want to talk to you about the invitations. Oh, my god. You sent them out, right? They all went out. So what’s the problem, then? It’s not a problem, per se. I just noticed a certain someone wasn’t on the guest list. Cody. No, mom, it’s fine. We’ll get together another time. Nothing is wrong. I mean it. We’ll talk another time, okay? I love you. Bye. Cody: I’m impressed. You know, listening to you, I’d believe that you’re doing okay, but just one look… is it that obvious? Anything I can do to help? You’re under no obligation, remember? I mean, now that we know mac is not really your father. We’re not related, so… like to think we’re friends? Friendly? Okay. Okay. So lay it on me. What’s up? You ready to show me your moves? I did that last night. And then some.

[ Chuckles ] Come here. No! Your boxing moves. Oh, yeah, right, right. She, uh — she’s worked up, your aunt. What — yeah. Go. Oh, you know what? Let me go check on her, okay? Yeah, go, go. Make sure everything’s okay. Aunt liesl? Aunt liesl!

[ Grunting ] Aunt liesl, stop! Stop! You’re gonna hurt yourself.

[ Breathing heavily ] I’m already hurting. Meeting’s set for tomorrow. You ready? Ready as I’ll ever be.

Not that I would blame you for excluding cody after what he did. Gosh, I still can’t believe he was supposed to be your perfect match. You don’t know? Know what? Society setups is a fraud. Yeah, is it ever. No, literally. That zelda woman is a front for spinelli. So this company is just some dressed-up dating app? Yeah. I knew it. No, you didn’T. Okay, no, I didn’T.

[ Scoffs ] But i should have after we found out cody was only after that necklace. Well, joke’s on him. He lost the jewels and the girl. I really thought he was better than that. Oh, you did, did you? What? Like you’ve never gone after a guy for his bank account? Well [Chuckles] Obviously.

[ Chuckles ] Come on. Rolling in the dough isn’t what comes to mind when I think of you. All you ever do is work. Um, hello. Party. Yeah [Chuckles] That’s a good first step. But will it stick? What does that mean?

[ Sighs ] When will you finally start enjoying your life? Austin blackmailed spinelli. Can you believe that? Who does something like that? Um, did he have a good reason? A good reason for threatening someone? N– alright. T-that — that totally came out wrong. Um, so what exactly did austin do?

[ Scoffs ] It doesn’t matter. You seem to think it does. Okay, well, he claims he just wanted to make sure that we were a good match for each other. But if what he really cared about was our relationship, why didn’t he just talk to me about it? ‘Cause sometimes that’s a really hard thing to do. Why are men terrified of feelings? That wasn’t a rhetorical question. Oh. Oh, so — so now I’m speaking for all men. Okay, you said you wanted to help me. Help me understand why men do stupid things. Why they take the arguably more difficult route when they could simply open up to the person that they’re close to.

[ Chuckles ] Aunt liesl, look at your hands. Why would you do this? Stay here. Okay? I’m not gonna need you till tonight. So you can take the afternoon off. I won’t argue with that. See you tonight, boss. Sweetheart, are there ice packs in the back? Aunt liesl’s knuckles are in pretty rough shape. Even with the gloves? Yeah, with the gloves. You know, the weird part is… it’s like she wants to be in pain. Wants to be in pain? Are you worried? Alright, I’ll — I’ll get some ice. Thank you for telling me about mrs. Landry. It means a lot. I knew it would. That’s what makes you a good cop. You go above and beyond for your community. Keep it up. Plan to. Will I see you at the holiday party? Um…we can bring a guest, right? Oh, I take it things are going well with miss trina robinson.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckles ] Okay. That well. You’re fortunate. Trina’s a very special person. Don’t I know it. Spencer’s uncle victor got him released early. Typical. I am so glad he’s out of that place. So am I. Wait, why are we talking about spencer? I asked you about rory. Because spencer and his uncle showed up at the pc grill. Oh, no. Did they ruin your night? Rory loves me. As in he acts that way? Or he said those words? He said the words. All three of them. Wow. I know. Why didn’t you tell me? I am telling you. Well, then, what? What’d you say back?

[ Sighs ] Nothing. I-I was so floored. I-I never expected it. I mean, it’s too soon, right? On our three-month anniversary? I mean, we haven’t even slept together yet. Well, I mean, I guess it’s a little quick, but… is that the only reason why you hesitated? Why else? Well, how did you feel when rory told you he loved you? I mean, besides shocked, obviously.

[ Sighs ] I felt… scared. That’s not a good sign. No, it’s not. And I like rory more and more as I get to know him. He’s — he’s sweet and considerate. And he really makes me feel special. But you’re not in love with him. Not yet, at least. Are you sure it’s time holding you back? Or could it be your feelings for spencer? Missed this place. Well, I bet you cameron could get you your old job back.

[ Chuckles ] Let’s not go overboard. Luckily for me, I don’t need the paycheck anymore. Now that ava has “so kindly” given me access to my own money. Ah, well, good luck, whatever comes next. Thank you.

[ Scoffs ] I cannot believe you didn’t text me that you were back. I’ve been a little busy, cameron. How’s reentry? It’s interesting. I’m staying at wyndemere. Whoa. Yeah, not by choice. It’s a condition of my release that I have to stay with my uncle, who, unfortunately for me, is living with my father. The plan is to spend as little time there as possible. Well, winter break just started, so I’ll have plenty of time to hang out. So will joss. Have you, uh, reached out to her that you’re back? No, trina is the only person I’ve seen so far. How’d that go? Not great.

Trust me, I am not the guy you want to go to for relationship advice. Uh-oh. Things not going so well with britt?

[ Chuckles ] Things aren’t going at all. Yikes. I made a choice. It was the wrong one, apparently. Britt doesn’t want anything to do with me. That can change. Doubtful. You’ve messed up before, and britt got over it. Maybe that’ll happen again. Okay, so what about you? What about me? You gonna get over this issue with austin? Isn’t the whole point of this conversation that I don’t know? Do you want to forgive him? Isn’t that the same question? No. Uh, you can be mad and be done with someone like britt. Or you can be mad and still want to work things out. Or you can be mad, still want to work things out, but be terrified that he’s not the person you thought he was. So, how’d the rest of the fall semester go? It was busy. I, uh, had a lot to do, you know, with soccer and school and work. Didn’t have much time to do anything else. Barely even saw joss. You guys are good, though, right? Oh, yeah. No, we’re great. That’s good. Couldn’t come back home to everything having changed. Yeah. So, um… they ever let you watch the news in pentonville? Is that code for, “do I know that my ex-girlfriend is running around town attacking people with a hook?” Oh, okay, great. I thought I’d maybe have to ease you into it, but you already know. But, you know, we don’t know for sure that it is esme. She attacked your mother, and you’re defending her. No, no. I’m just saying it’s one thing to push someone and cause them to fall and a totally different level to murder somebody. Well, I got to hand it to you, cameron, that’s another thing that hasn’t changed. You always see the good in people. Lucky for you. Yeah, and I know it. My friendships with you and joss are pretty much the only things that make sense right now. I’m trapped at wyndemere for the rest of my sentence. And then… who knows? Well…do you think you’ll apply to pcu? But even that wouldn’t start until next fall. Maybe I’ll head to gstaad for some skiing. I always did love the aprs life. What? What happened to being your own man and not relying on anyone else’s money? It’s easier said than done, cameron. So that’s it.

[ Scoffs ] You’re just gonna leave and go back to europe? Why not? It’s not like anything’s keeping me here. Trina: I am not in love with spencer. Did I say that? It was strongly implied. How could I love someone that I can’t even trust? But every time I see him… I don’t know how to describe it. It’s — it’s like… some part of me just wakes up. Does that sound weird? Josslyn: It’s like this wall

went up between us.

And you remembered that you

have to protect little old me from big, bad you. I call B.S. On that. I make my own decisions. I know the risks I’m taking. If you don’t want me, just say that. I’m trying to do the right thing here. Try being honest instead. You want honest? No. [ Scoffs ] I get it. Yeah, it’s like… …I’m drawn to spencer, even though I wish I wasn’T. And I don’t have that same pull with rory like I wish I did. Are you gonna break up with him? It’s tough. Rory makes me feel good about myself. And we definitely have fun when we’re together. But is that enough? Is that even fair? Is what fair? To keep dating him. Knowing how he feels about me, if… I don’t feel the same way. Do you want me to call scott? He’s out of town on business. I’m fine, really. You should go. J would never forgive me.

[ Sighs ] My precious nathan. Yeah, with christmas coming, I’ve been thinking about him a lot. Is that what’s wrong, aunt liesl? You’re missing j more than usual? A mother should have more time with her child. I wholeheartedly agree with that. But we have james, don’t we? And he’s looking more and more like his daddy every day. Aunt liesl… j lives on. But britta won’T. Thanks again, commissioner. Hey, rory. Hey. I got an update on the hook case. Great. Uh, can I stay with the connections to trina? Of course. Fill us in. Well, the lab was able to identify the venom found on the hook. Comes from a sea krait — a highly venomous, semi-aquatic snake. Okay. And where would one find such a snake? Well, according to the herpetologist at the pc zoo, not around here, not in the wild, anyway. They come from the south asian islands. Okay. So they would have to smuggle it into the us. Right. So I looked up arrests of exotic animal smugglers for the last 10 years. We got about five hits in the port charles area. Okay. Well, can you get on as soon as possible? Yeah, will do. It’s been two months since oz haggerty was killed. The hook’s letter basically said, stay out of her way, and you’ll be fine. Could this mean that she’s done? It could. Or it could mean she’s nice and rested and ready for her next victim.

much as I’d like to believethe attacks are over, serial killers rarely stop on their own. This is the longest break so far. Yeah. The lead-up to haggerty’s killing was two weeks. This has been longer than that. Isn’t that good news? Well, no one dying is good news, but it’s premature to think the killer is done. She could have been arrested for another crime or left town for some reason. Well, whoever she is and wherever she is, she’s got to be stopped and brought to justice. Okay, can you, um, talk to the manager and find out how early we can get into the haunted star the day of the party so we can set up? Yes, ma’am. And on my end, um, I need to find amazing shoes that I can still dance in, um, set up a massage that morning, talk to my lawyer.

[ Scoffs ] A little extreme, no? I mean, I know people will sue at the drop of a hat these days, but do you really need to consult your lawyer? Um, I actually didn’t mean to bring this up today, but since we’re here, I am talking to my lawyer about my will. You’re scaring me. Don’t be scared. It’s just, um, this whole mess with the necklace and not knowing who it belongs to, it just reminded me that it’s important to write things down. Besides, it’s the responsible thing to do. Do you have a will? Me? [ Chuckles ] Please. All I have to leave to posterity is a, uh — a fabulous wardrobe. It is fabulous.

[ Laughs ] Well, just so you know, I am leaving everything to you. I agreed to meet rory’s parents. You did? Before the whole “love” thing, he invited me to his family’s christmas eve. And it sounds pretty casual. People coming and going all day. It seemed like the next step. Right. And that was before he said what he said and spencer showed up. It was so much easier when spencer was away. Is that horrible? You’re just being honest. But now he’s home, and I’ll probably be seeing him everywhere. You can always avoid him. That’s not sustainable. Uh, and I’m supposed to be hanging out with rory. What am I going to say? I don’t want to date rory just because I can’t have spencer. I don’t even want spencer. But you do. But I do. How’s trina doing? I thought you saw for yourself last night. Well, we didn’t exactly have a heart to heart. She told me that there’s no way for us to start over. I’m sorry. But can you blame her? No. I guess I just want to make sure that her life is back on track. You know, after i completely derailed it. Trina’s doing well. That’s good. She’s happy with rory? Seems like it. He’s a good guy. Trina deserves nothing less. Great. Who is that guy? He looks really familiar. His name is dex. He works for sonny. Right. Don’t you need — don’t you need to go take his order or something? Oh, no, he — he can wait. Wow. You really don’t like him?

[ Inhales deeply ] Dex is a wannabe gangster. Joss was convinced that sonny wanted to hurt him. But you just said that dex works for sonny. So why would sonny hurt him? You remember how ava was the first hook victim, and that she was found at the quartermaines’, and joss was the one who found her? Yeah. Well, dex was there, too. He helped joss get ava to the hospital. He was also at charlie’s the night that brando got attacked. And he was at brando’s garage when diane miller got attacked, so… seems like a pattern to me. Sonny saw a pattern, too. That’s why he had him…detained. Detained him how? I don’t have all the details, nor do I want them. But sonny got dex out of police custody, and then dex just vanished. Josslyn figure that sonny was behind it, and, um…she went to pozzulo’s to look for him. Well, obviously, she found him. He’s sitting or… standing right there. Yeah, well, it’s more complicated than that. The guy who was questioning dex was not listening to josslyn. She had to call michael for backup. And then that’s when things got pretty heated, dangerous. That’s ridiculous. Sonny would never let any of his people hurt josslyn. All I know is that it was a major confrontation. If joss was mad at sonny before, it’s on a whole nother level now. Joss is upset because her mom and sonny split up, and now sonny has moved on to nina. So I sympathize, but sonny has always been more than decent to josslyn. It — it’s — it’s not about that. Whatever happened at pozzulo’s, whatever sonny did to dex, josslyn hates him for that. Alright. I don’t understand. Did something happen to britt? Obrecht: She’ll never have children. Aunt liesl, she could change her mind about that. When britta’s gone, there’ll be nothing. Why do you keep talking about britt leaving? It’s not my story to tell. That may be true, but it’s obviously tearing you up. You have to let it out.

Nein. No, this is simply a moment of weakness. I-I can keep the secret. I-I-I will keep the secret. Aunt liesl. Did you see what I did just then? I not so subtly reminded you that we are family. Okay? You can tell me anything. I’m not gonna tell anybody. You can trust me. It’s too much. Then let me shoulder some of the burden. Okay? I won’t tell anyone. Trust me.

[ Crying ] Britta is sick. She has huntington’s disease.

I’m a beneficiary in your will? Sole beneficiary. Why do you look so shocked? Who else would I leave it to?

[ Chuckles ] Okay, how much are we talking about here? Like a vacay to cabo or…

[ Inhales deeply ] Never mind. So not the point. The point… is for you to be independent. I hope you use the money to get away from aunt selina and start fresh. Well, that’s depressing. Which part? Uh, the prospect of still running errands for my aunt decades from now.

[ Chuckles ] U-unless you’re planning on dying tomorrow. Uh, that is not the plan. But it’s always good to be prepared. Joss says that her familyhas been covering for sonny all of her life. That he doesn’t deserve it, that he belongs in prison. Speaking as someone who just got out of prison, that’s pretty harsh. She means it. She says that sonny is not who we think he is. That she’s seen the truth and wants nothing to do with him. I-I’m not saying that whatever sonny did to dex was okay, but the guy went to work for him. And is still working for him. Exactly. Joss has

no idea what dex didto get in trouble with sonny or how badly he may have screwed up. For all we know, sonny’s going easy on the guy. Don’t try telling joss that. Well, obviously, this dex is manipulating her. If joss is mad at sonny, then she’s going to jump on anything that makes him look bad. And dex knows that, and he’s using it. Does anyone work here? I think that’s your cue. Yeah. Hey, what can I get you? Um, cheeseburger to go. Medium rare, please. Coming right up. Dex, right? Uh, that’s me. You are? Spencer cassadine. Sonny corinthos’ nephew. Good to meet you. You work for my uncle, right? I do. Which means you work for me. And I’m really going to break up with rory right before the holidays? Am I that person? There’s never a good time to end a relationship. No, but there are very, very bad times. And, say, roy and i do break up. That doesn’t guarantee that spencer and i will have a future. He asked if we could start over, and honestly, I don’t think we can.

[ Sighs ] I wish I had the answers for you. Spencer has hurt me so many times. And now he’s gonna cost me rory, too. I-it’s not fair! No, it’s not. It’s not fair. But, trina, you’re — you’re not the only one in this. Alright? Rory’s involved, too. So if you’re honest with him, not about wanting spencer, but about maybe not feeling the same way, then it’s up to rory to decide whether to stay or not. That’s true. Rory can decide for himself. But it’s still gonna be so awkward. Like, thanks for loving me, but I don’t feel the same way? Maybe I should just wait until the new year. No, no. You have to do this. Cam deserves to know the truth. What? Where did that come from? Sorry. I meant rory, obviously. Yeah, you’re right. If I want something real with rory, I have to be up-front with him. Thank you, dante. Yeah. I wish we could assign more detectives to the case, but we just don’t have the manpower. Well, that’s okay, commissioner. I’ll just work as efficiently as I possibly can. I know you will. Uh, you want me to drop that on your desk? I’m headed out. Uh, yeah, sure. Why not? Thanks. That’s actually perfect. I wanted to talk to you about something else. Okay. Thank you again for letting me sit in. I learned a lot.

[ Camera shutter clicks ] I remember so vividly how we all were so relieved when we found out that j didn’t inherit the gene. But — but britt did? If

only cesar was still here.I’d kill him myself. Aunt liesl? Is britt having symptoms?

[ Inhales deeply ] Trouble swallowing, muscle spasms, and it will only get worse. Oh, my god. How do I do this, nina? The thought of sitting by, helpless, watching my britta waste away. I don’t have the strength. You’re gonna find the strength.

[ Gasps ] ‘Cause your daughter is gonna need you.

Austin lied to me. Duh. Excuse you. Uh, when you like someone

[Chuckles] You want to show them the best version of yourself, you know? So you — you massage the truth a little bit. Like, uh, maybe you say you love to cook when in reality, you only know how to make pasta. Or you talk about your love of exercise when you haven’t seen a gym in weeks. You’re right. I am? You’re terrible at giving relationship advice. And, yes, people are on their best behavior for the first few dates. But if you want to go the distance with someone, you’re eventually gonna have to open up and show that person who you really are. That’s it. Just no? No one wants the real me. Okay, that’s a cop-out, and you know it. Well, I’ve got my marching orders. Time to get to work. Hey, britt, um… I know I always act aloof and above it all sometimes. Hmm, sometimes?

[ Chuckles ] But this, uh — this will thing… it really means the world to me. Well, what can I say? You’ve been there for me when no one else has. You know me better than anyone. You’re my best friend in the whole world. We’re more than best friends. We’re family.

[ Chuckles ] Ugh! [ Chuckles ] Cue the violins!

[ Chuckles ] Right? Pull it together, cooper.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Cellphone thuds ] Oh. Dammit. [ Sighs ] What was that? Oh, I just, uh… I was just at the gym too long this morning, you know, so… run along. The party is not gonna plan itself.

[ Chuckles ] What? Look…I’m excited about the party, don’t get me wrong. I guess I’m just a little confused about the magnitude of it. I mean… you never celebrate your birthday. Never even mention it. Why is this one such a big deal? If I work for you, that’s news to me. My uncle listens to me. So you’d be wise to do as I say. Hey, is the toys for tots bin still inside? Yeah, but — great. Could you get the door, please?

[ Chuckles ] Thank you. I did not want to miss it. Stay away from josslyn jacks. Excuse me? How dare you eavesdrop on a private conversation? Aunt liesl, this… are you happy, hmm? Seeing me brought to my knees like this? I don’t want to see you in any pain. Lies. Okay, you know what? You have every right to be upset. It’s completely understandable, but it’s not fair to take it out on sonny. I’d like to say something, nina, if that’s all right. Oh, and why should I listen to you, hmm? Because I went through something similar to what you’re facing with my own father. He had alzheimer’S. When I found out, it was the worst moment of my life. And I thought I had already lost him. But I was wrong because at the end of his life, there were flashes of his old se– of his old self. And then when his memory loss started setting in and his — his defenses were — were going away… …I saw another side to my father. We were so honest with each other at that time. More honest than we’ve — we’ve ever been before he even got sick. Alzheimer’s takes a lot. But at the end, those times we had… …they were a gift.

I’ll call you tonight. Okay? Please remember — I won’t say a word to anyone. I promise. Thank you for what you said.

[ Crying ] You’re so wonderful. No, really, you are. Aunt liesl has done horrible things to people you love, and you reached out to her. Listen, it — it — you know, when I see somebody suffering like my dad, you know, like I did with my dad, it’s just — I just help, that’s all. It’s not — it’s not just that’s all. It’s everything. You feel like you don’t know the real austin.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, I think it’s become increasingly clear that I don’T. Do you think you’ve seen the real britt? Glimpses, but yes. And you like her? Very much. Then don’t give up on her. I’m not sure I’m being given a chance. Trust me. Britt just needs time. What’s so important about this party? The party’s really just an excuse. For…? I want to be more than the woman who fell in the metro court pool. The sucker taken in by cody’s con. I want people to see me in all my glory.

[ Sighs ] Does that make sense? It does. And it’s exactly what you’re gonna get. You have my word. This party will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Spencer, I heard you were out. Home for the holidays. Mm. Speaking of holidays. Let me help. Cameron can help her. I can do it. Thank you. Just cancel my order. I’ll go somewhere else. No, no. You ordered, so you need to pay. No, he doesn’T. Not a problem. Your uncle pays me well, so…

[ Patrons gasp ] Trina. Hey. How are you? Uh, I’m okay. Um… have you seen rory, by any chance? I asked the front desk but no one could tell me where he is. Pcpd! Anyone home?! Ugh! Oh, good, the doors aren’t even open yet. See? We didn’t miss bupkiss.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Eric, what do you do here? I can’t stop thinking about you. These last few days have been like a terrible nightmare. Oh God. You feel that way too? I woke up this morning and I realized I made a terrible mistake. I’m sorry for being upset about the baby and lashing out outta you. I’m sorry. It’s not your fault and I don’t want to throw away what it could be.

Our last chance at happiness. What do you saying? I’m asking you to forgive me. I want you to leave here. I want you to come home with me where you.

I, I, so.

Hey. Morning, sleepy. Ed

brought you coffee. Black. That’s okay. Thank you. I’ll be careful. It’s hot, but it wasn’t nearly as hot as you were last night.

Excuse me. Hey, when a man is in my bed, I like to be the center of his attention. I’m sorry you’re not having regrets about last night, are you?

Good morning. Good morning. The bear of tea again. Thank you, Kate. I’m so kind of you. You look good, relaxed. Thanks. I am feeling a lot better, not just physically. Emotionally too. Not that I’m happy that Eric’s in jail. I mean far from it, but I will admit it is a relief not having him so close by. Well, Eric’s not in jail anymore.

Roman told me they released him yesterday. Thanks to his new attorney, Sloane Peterson,

I have absolutely no regrets about last night. Well, thanks for restoring my self. Fuck you ever lost it?

Well, what’s the matter cuz I can tell something’s wrong. It’s just a headache. Like I said, I don’t really drink a lot these days. Shall I get you an aspirin? No, no. I’m fine Nick. I think a little breakfast will kind of do the trick. Oh, well, I’m not really much of a breakfast kind of gal, but I think I have a granola bar somewhere around here.

Well, I was actually thinking of something more substantial. Hmm. I like this.

Oh, of course, Roger. I completely. This memorial service is rather imprompt you. There’s no need to change your plant. Mother will be touched that you left your tour to make a pilgrim, Mr. Grace Lan, her honor. Oh, I’m with you on that. I hope the woman who murdered her is burning in hell.

Like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

I’m sorry. I thought that you knew. No, I haven’t heard from Eric. Well, that’s too bad. I thought that he would’ve at least checked on you when he was released to see how you were doing. Well, I guess he figures there’s no reason to now. Yeah. Well that’s just wrong. You know? He owes you that much. No, he doesn’t, and I don’t owe him anything either.

You know, I’m glad he is staying away. Do you really mean that? I do. Eric and I are history. He’s somebody else’s problem now.

Do you remember when my sister said getting into bed with you would be the worst mistake of my life? . I remember Asha was speaking figuratively, . But I don’t think she could be more wrong.

Oh.

Um, just gimme a minute.

Hey, Tony. Hey, uh, sorry to bother you. I, I hope I didn’t link you. No, I was up. What can I help you with? Well, if you don’t mind, I, I need to come in and grab some of my grandma’s things. I, I wanted to wait, but, uh, I need to get ’em down to the church before the memorial service, so Yes, of course. I, I understand.

Yes.

Listen, uh, Johnny, I’m really sorry about Susan. She was a real sweetheart. Yeah. Yeah, she was. Uh, Hey, I’m sorry again for, uh, acting like such a jerk when I found out my dad was letting you stay here. And part, part of the reason was I just see I, I really like you and I really like ra and I was hoping things would work out between the two of you.

Yes, so was I, but I realized that Ray and I were wrong for each other from the start, and he is a really good person. And as hard as I try to ignore reality, I am not and I never will be. Thanks, Roger. Please, please keep in touch.

What can I do for you? Commissioner? You need a statement about the circumstances around your mother’s death. You’ve missed two appointments to give it to me. I don’t know what else there is to say. As I told you before, the Ransom exchange went badly, Eva panicked and drove off a road killing He. Am my mother

very, very unpleasant for me to talk about this, as I’m sure you understand. I understand. I understand that you are grieving UJA and I respect that, but I need more details. Why? Why? So you can bring Eva to justice. It’s a bit late for that. Let the dead stay dead. In that Witch’s case.

So he left the priesthood for Nicole, huh? The first time? The second time I, the second time

when things working out with Nicole and I. I thought I should go back to the priesthood, you know, and, uh, pick up where I left off. And, um, you know, which I did. Rededicated myself followed. I feel a Bible sized butt coming on another woman. I was defunct on a technical manner that was, uh, the matter of, uh, Canin Law.

Oh, well, you know what? As a lawyer, I can testify that it’s the technicalities that’ll kill you, . So after last night and this morning, Can I presume that you’re not gonna run off to the priesthood for our third shot? It’s a safe bet. I’ve had some pretty good and clear signs that I was on the wrong path.

That’s what you were looking for. Yeah. Yeah. It’s a, uh, it’s a symbol of all the things that were most important to grandma, faith,

family, and the king.

Yeah. She was, uh, she was truer to herself than anyone I ever knew. A lot of people looked down on her for it, called a Rolo to her face, . She didn’t care and she never gave a a damn about what, uh, anybody said or thought. Never tried to change, never even wanted to. You gotta admire that about a person, you know?

Definitely.

Hey, Nicole. Um, yeah, I was just a kid, you know, when you were my stepmom, but I remember that, uh, you took really good care of Sydnee and me, regardless of how your relationship was with, with my dad. I don’t know.

Well, that was easy. You and Sydney were a.

You know, I remember after I had gotten my eye surgery, you stayed up with me all night for a couple nights. You read me goodnight Moon, I, I don’t know how many times I asked you to read Goodnight Moon, but you had to have wanted to tear that book to pieces. . I can’t believe you remember all that. Of course I do.

Yeah, it meant a lot. And as much as my mother may have despised, you tried to convince me you were some horrible person. I never believed her. I love spending time with you. Not only did you read to us, but you were funny. You made us laugh. You’re so funny. Thank you, Johnny. That’s very kind. You know, you’re funny too.

Yeah. And you’re, you’re very sweet. Well, um, I had better did this off to the church on time. Oh, I’ll see you Johnny. See you

Steve. Hey there buddy. You got back from Seattle fast? Yeah, I took the red eye. Yeah. Stephanie and I are. Fly back for Christmas. Join Kayla and Joe out there. Sounds like a planned. How’s the trip doing? Well, he’s still pretty broken up about his mother. Yeah. Glad you could be there for him. I was lucky you happened to be in Seattle when Ava was killed.

Wasn’t exactly look

EJ if someone other than Ava was in any way culpable in your mother’s death. I am sure you’d want them brought to justice. Of course I would. What are you implying? Not implying anything, but I do find it very strange that you are so reluctant to tell me the whole story of what happened. As I told you before, this is very difficult for me to talk about.

Right. So let’s start with why you didn’t call the police when Susan went. Eva threatened to kill my mother if I told anyone. So you thought it would be a good idea to handle this on your own? If I did, yes. And as you said, something went wrong with the Ransom exchange. Causing Ava and your mother to lose control, go off a cliff and die.

Oh, uh, excuse me. Good morning Nicole. What the hell are you doing here? What do you think she’s doing? At more commissioner, put those detective skills to good. Obviously Nicole spent the night.

Oh, your stamina was impressive, but I guess you do a lot of time to make up for no, uh, not. Casual sex was never in the cards for me. Mm-hmm. , you know, when I, I left the priesthood the first time, . Right. You know, I kind of had the standard dreams of kids white picket fence. Hmm. Yeah. So what happened, well, seemed obvious to me that that was never really in my cards.

So I just needed to, uh, stop fooling myself getting emotionally involved. Hmm. I just, I just wanna make it really clear that I’m not really into getting into a relationship. Did I say something that made you think that? Because if so, please just scratch that from the scoreboard. I mean, not the sound jaded or anything, but you know, I’ve never really been the happily ever after type.

Don’t really believe in it. Never have. We’re on the same page, definitely. So, Um, here’s to no emotional attachment. Just pure, wild, unbridled passion. Sex. If you’re, I’m up for it.

It’s not what it looks like. EJ offered Holly and I a place to stay until I can figure out a more permanent situation. I told Nicole they’re welcome to stay for as long as. Wow. How very generous of you and you know, you should, uh, you should enjoy your consolation prize since both of her ex has rejected her.

Re yeah. And since you seem so determined to stonewall my investigation into your mother’s death, I will find the information I need elsewhere. Rest is. This case is not closed, and I will find out the truth of what happened between you and Ava. I’ll be in touch.

Wow.

Son of a bitch. So why did you happen to go to Seattle in the first place? Eh, that’s a long story. I can’t really get into the details. Steve. Hey, glad to see you’re back. Hey, thanks Jada. It’s good to be home. Yes, Sue, you are in Seattle. How’s Trip doing? He’s hanging in there. Thanks. How are you feeling today, Jada?

Uh, I’m feeling much better. Thank you. Uh, in fact, I’m actually gonna be heading to work. Were you sick? I took a few days of medical leave, uh, but I’m better now. Glad to hear it and now I better head to the station. Hey, you know, I’m uh, headed that way myself. Can I, uh, give you a lift? I have something I wanna discuss with you.

It’s a police matter.

What’s the matter? Mommy dearest? Oh, you forget about your dead baby boy already, as if I could. Because I’m here to help. A little birdie told me today was the big day. Oh, it is indeed. I presume you have a plan, ladies. And it’s simple, it’s direct. Uh, I don’t, I don’t know why I didn’t think of it before.

Well, don’t keep me in suspense. How are we getting our final revenge on EJ Damara? EJ is going to die.

Sorry, just one of my clients has an issue, but okay. Done that. More pleasant matters. Listen, I came over here last night because I needed to pay my retainer, right? And then I distracted you, which means I still owe. You a bill or you can just come over here and pay it in person. I hope that’s not the only reason why I’m welcome here.

Of course not. If you want, you can stay another night. Thanks. But I can’t. I know what I should get back to the pub, or you’ll likely running to Jada, right? Oh, it’s not likely. It’s a given. I’m gonna have to face it at some point.

Nicole. Hi. Hey Roman. Can I get a black coffee to go please? Sure thing. So I was just wondering, is Jada around you missed her. She just left the work. But to save you a return trip, I don’t think she wants to see you at all. Well, Jada can make that decision. You know, we both agree with that. Jada should make her own.

Okay. I know Eric blames me for Jada’s Choice, but I did not force her hand. Oh, really? Well what were you being altruistic? Were you doing her favor by? By telling her how awful her life would be if she had Eric’s baby. Nicole, you need to know that Kate and I were on your side. We were both open, that you and Eric would find your way back to each other and it’s all my fault, right?

Go ahead, say it. I messed everything. You know, I thought the baby was, Eric’s my biggest problem and it turns out our biggest problem is that there’s no more baby. Have a seat. Steve,

are you sure you don’t wanna make an official statement? No, this has to be off the record for now. But I don’t want any secrets from Rafe. I want him to hear this too. You want me to hear what

DJ Damara kidnapped my son and that bastard needs to pay for it. Forgive me if I’m a little confused about what? Well, the original plan was to kidnap ejs mother and then make him pay us back with blood, sweat, and tears. And lots and lots of dollars. Yeah. And that plan was kicked to the curb when he snatched your breath.

Yeah. Trip the golden boy. I know. But then you drove Susan off a cliff, incinerating her to the point that they don’t even have a scrap of clothing to remember her by. And that wasn’t revenge of for you. No, it wasn’t. And I’m not gonna let EJ Damara live long enough to ever lay another finger on my boy again.

I, uh, I took Grandma’s cross down to St. Luke’s so it can be on display at the service. Thank you, Johnny. I just wish you told me you were going to the church. It would’ve come with you. I didn’t want you to. As, uh, hard as this has been on me. I know. It must be even worse for you. I, I still can’t believe it’s real.

Neither can I. Um, father Bernard did ask me, um, since there’s snow remains, uh, if we wanted to arrange for some kind of marker in her memory.

I was thinking about that myself. I’d like a place to visit. Where I can feel close to her, perhaps a plaque down in the family crypt. Of course, it’s full to the brim with dead Demis. Although last time we added Jake, your Uncle Stephan came back to us. Who knows, maybe someone else will rise from the dead this time.

Let’s go down and find a spot for shall

so. I guess it’s a good thing that our original plane didn’t work out after all. I mean here I thought that you and I were gonna live happily ever after in the underworld, but it seems you’re hard to kill mother. Hmm. Yeah. I suppose I am. Must be on my. Eighth life by now. Mm-hmm. But you did have a chance to kill EJ and you didn’t take it.

You had him right where you wanted him the other night. He was passed out cold and helpless on the roadside. You could have ended his life right there. Why didn’t you?

How is Sheda doing? Well, I’m just above this good, as you would imagine. Roman, I know Kate is not interested in hearing me out, but I just want you to know I never intended for things to turn out this way, and I’m truly sorry that Eric is having a hard time with it. Eric is responsible for his own actions and uh, on him that he assaulted two people and wound up in jail.

Have you heard from him since he was released? Yeah, I have. He was with his new attorney. And what did he say, Nicole? That he never wanted to see me again. When was that? Yesterday. Why? Well, I’m just hoping he didn’t get into any more trouble. What makes you think that Harry didn’t come home?

I know I have to go back home and I certainly know I can’t go back to work in front. Nicole, live with one woman, work with another. I mean, there’s just no escape for you. I don’t mean an escape. I just need some time. A reset. Well, whenever you need a break, you know you’re always welcome. It’s like we said, no strings.

Just friends with great benefits. Thank you. You know, it’s been a long time since, since what? Since had a real friend trip was kidnapped. Yeah. Is he okay? He’s fine. Kayla and I managed to rescue him. That’s why we went to Seattle. Okay, well that’s good. But you think that EJ is. I know it. Oh, now this makes sense.

I knew that something had escalated the situation between EJ and Ava. So Ava kidnapped E J’s mother, so he retaliated by kidnapping her son, and when we freed Trip, EJ lost his leverage against her. Yep. Which made EJ desperate. And a desperate EJ led to a ruthless ava, which is what led to Ava and Susan being killed in that car crash.

Oh my God. This all make sense now. This is the, that’s why EJ was so down. Why he at the crash site? He knew. He knew if he’d just given Ava the ransom money, his mother would still be alive and kidnapping tripped in a do him any good at all. He essentially committed a felony for nothing. You said that you and Kayla rescued trip yourselves.

That’s. We had to work fast and under the radar, and before you ask, I’m not gonna apologize for doing what I had to do to save my son. Ava asked for my help while conveniently leaving out her part in getting trip kidnapped in the first place. Okay, but why didn’t you get the authorities involved sooner?

Ava begged me not to involve the. And I agreed. At least until I found out if my son was safe, I would’ve come to you right after that. But then we found out that Ava died and I didn’t wanna leave Tripp. You’re telling us now, and that’s the important thing. Yeah. But this is all hearsay. Yeah, that’s right.

Because Ava told me that EJ kidnapped trip, we don’t know. I don’t have any proof of that. And the henchman who was holding trip wouldn’t name names. Huh. Now Ava’s dead. Right? And how bad? Ejs feeling pretty good that there’s no proof of his involvement. That’s why I need your help and which is why you wanted to talk to us off the record.

Exactly. At least until we can figure out a way to make EJ pay for what he did. Let’s go down to the Krypton. Take a look. Shall uh, d wait. I, I don’t know if Grandma Susan would really want her marker to be in the family crypt. Why? I know technically she’s not in the mirror, but she certainly is family. Oh yeah, of course.

It’s, it’s not that it’s just, uh, you know, the devil elder hostage there. I just don’t know if she’d want her memory to be associated with it for the rest of eternity. You know, maybe you are right. It is rather gloomy down there and haunted by so many ghost. Present. You and EJ struggled over that gun at the crash site.

He fell, hit his head, and you were standing over him with the gun. Yeah, I know I was there. Why didn’t you kill him? Did you lose your nerve? Of course not. I didn’t kill him then because I wanted to give him more time to suffer with the guilt of what he did to his mother. You mean what he made you do to his mother?

Exactly. And now he’s suffered enough. Oh, no. No. He’ll never stop. But I think that more people need to pay for the way that they’ve treated me. And, uh, the perfect opportunity has presented itself. So today will be our final act.

I’ll do anything I can to help. The trip was kidnapped in Seattle, which is thousands of miles outside of our jurisdiction. I know that limits what you can do. Yeah. But EJ probably managed everything from right here. If we can prove that, then we have jurisdiction. Well, like I said, I’m all in. So am I.

Anything I can do to bring down EJ Dira, I’m all for it.

Little early for a drink? No. Oh, not these days, Johnny. And especially not today. What happened today? Your former stepfather paid me a visit Rafe. In his typically ham-handed fashion. He tried to implicate me in your grandmother’s death. Fuck, he can’t. He can’t do that. Of course not. He was as angry than Nicole is staying here.

Tried to take it out on me. But if he asks you any questions, there’s nothing I can tell him. Right. I only know that you did everything in your power to bring grandma home. Yes, I did.

Uh, while we’re on the subject of people asking questions, you are more than welcome to invite Wendy Shin to the memorial so you can keep up the cover of you two being romantically involved. Oh, uh, right. Yeah. Thank you. But because the entire family is going to be. You need to be very careful what you two say to each other.

If anyone over hears you talking about our little secret that if Uncle Stephan finds out that you knew Ralph brainwashed him, it’s not gonna be from me. Hmm hmm.

You make a mean cue, . At least I could do. Mm. And who knew you could do it with such few eggs? Well, I’ve been cooking for myself for many years now. Well, I’ve been ordering in for myself for so many years now. Shall we clear the table? I have a better idea. Since you decided to not rush into the pub. Why don’t we pick back up where we left?

I think I have some handcuffs somewhere if you wanna spice things up. Oh, I think things are spicy already. That wasn’t too soon, was it? Never too soon. , next time. Or maybe you have that caller, because I’ve really, really had this like fantasy my whole life. It’s on my bucket list to have my own hot priest.

It feels good to take my collar off and I don’t think it’s going back on. I think, uh, I’m pretty free without it. Are you? Yeah. You know what? Right now I’m feeling pretty free of all my clothing actually. Oh, clothing. I mean, who needs it? Right, exactly. Would you care to take this party to the shower? I am feeling pretty dirty.

Yeah.

Eric didn’t come home last night? No. I am checked with Ray. Make sure he wasn’t in lockup. He even checked the hospital. Yep. Listen, I’m sure he is okay. It’s just, uh, I’m wondering where he could be. Do you have any idea, Nicole? I don’t. Sorry. You know if you’ll excuse me. I just remembered I, I have something to do.

What about your coffee?

Where you supposed Nicole went in such a hurry. Well, I think she was a bit thrown by the fact that Eric didn’t sleep here last night. I’m worried about him, kid. Yeah. So is she. But for a completely different reason.

Stop it. You’re gonna get everything wet. Let’s take this back to the shower.

Nicole Walker, what are you doing here?

Well, I’m glad to see you back at work today. Thank How you feeling? Fine. But if one more person asks me that you. I’m sorry. I’m just tired of everyone acting like I’m some fragile little doll. Okay. Well, just because people care about you, that doesn’t mean you’re fragile. I know. I just wanna focus on work and put everything between Eric and I behind me.

Yeah, me too. I, I would love to do the same thing with Nicole, but, uh, evidently the universe is conspiring against. Oh, what happened now? Oh, I, I went over to e guys’s earlier to question him, and, um, didn’t expect to see Nicole there much less walking out in a bathroom. What? Mm-hmm. ? Yeah, evidently she’s moved in with ej, which, uh, he was very happy to, uh, inform me about, you know, I’m so.

Yeah, it’s okay. You know what? Nothing Nicole does surprises me anymore, but I would like to wipe that smug grin off E j’s face once and for off. Harold will serve luncheon after the service.

I think it’s gonna be one of the first times anyone sees peanut butter and banana sandwiches set next to the critter. Oh, well, grandma would have loved that. No one’s gonna remember what they ate

you, right? Food, the music, none of these truffles matter. I

I just wanna honor her. I want anyone to forget her. Hello? No one is gonna forget about her. You can count on that. Hmm. It’s a good thing that EJ was drunk that night and his brothers convinced him that he imagined the whole thing. He still thinks I’m dead, so he’ll never see it coming. Exactly. Now I can get revenge on the whole lot of ’em.

Oh, check out this baby.

It is going to be a memorable memorial, a colorful spectacle. The sitting Susan bangs. It’s gonna be a blast.

Tate, where do you see this resort in Aspen, buddy. It is amazing. Yeah. You know, first of all, first of all, it has a lobby where you can basically ski right into, and then you can, you can go into this hot tub, which is about the size of a lake. Yeah. . It’s this,

you know what, buddy? I’m, I’m gonna have to, uh, I’m gonna have to call you back. Yeah. Okay. I love you too. Bye.

What are you doing? What does it look like? Or under a missile toe. I’m sure you remember what that means.

Are you just gonna stand there gawking, or are you gonna explain what you’re doing at my apartment? I could ask you the same things.

[ Relaxing music ]

Steffy: Mom, why didn’t you tell me you were coming home?

Taylor: Oh because I was– you know what? Never mind. It doesn’t matter. I’m back.

Steffy: I’m so happy that you are.

Taylor: Yeah.

Steffy: Yeah, I have, uh, so much to fill you in on.

Taylor: Really?

Steffy: Yeah.

Taylor: What? What? Tell me.

Steffy: No, we have plenty of time. First off, I wanna know how you’re doing. How are you? How are you?

Taylor: I am okay. I am. I– I– why? Do I not seem okay?

Steffy: No, you seem fine. You look beautiful, but… looks could also be deceiving.

Taylor: Yes, they can. But no, I’m really good. I am.

Steffy: Okay.

Taylor: Speaking of deceiving, have you heard from your brother?

Steffy: No. I really don’t care about him right now, especially what he did to you and dad.

[ Taylor sighing ] Besides, I wanna hear about you. Have you heard from dad?

Brooke: Can you imagine literally running into sheila carter the way steffy did at il giardino.

[ Brooke sighing ] I mean, she was in disguise, but…

Hope: Steffy was sure it was her. Missing toe and all.

Brooke: Gosh, that woman has brought so much terror into our lives for years.

Hope: Well, I mean, at some point, sheila’s luck has to run out and she will be caught.

Brooke: Meanwhile, we’re all back to being on high alert and added security.

Hope: Do you think ridge knows what’s happening?

Brooke: No. Steffy didn’t want her parents to be concerned, so she didn’t say anything.

Hope: So, you still haven’t spoken to him.

Brooke: No, but rumor has it he’s on his way back today.

Hope: Mm. How does that make you feel?

Steffy: Well, have you?

Taylor: Have I spoken to your father?

Steffy: You two left and went your separate ways.

Taylor: Yeah, yeah. Ridge had to process what he was feeling and I did too.

Steffy: Yeah, obviously you did. I mean, you’re here, back in los angeles.

Taylor: I am. You know, I– I sorted through some anger I was having and tried to understand the questionable choices I made.

Steffy: If thomas hadn’t made that call to cps.

[ Steffy sighing ] Mom, look, I understand that you’re upset with yourself and with dad for not being totally truthful. So, I want you to know that, um, from here on out, I’m not gonna push you towards dad. Look, I know I didn’t go to the lengths thomas did, but I– I still got caught up in the moment, and I’d be lying if I didn’t say that– I mean, part of me does want you and dad back together.

Brooke: How do I feel?

Hope: Yeah. I mean, your marriage was derailed by thomas, interfered with by nearly everybody. I mean, mom, you were wronged.

Brooke: And ridge knows that and he’s apologized over and over again, but that doesn’t mean we can go back to the way we were before he walked out on me.

Hope: Oh, no. Of course not. A lot has happened, but–

Brooke: Now is the time to take stock in where things stand. For all of us. I made it very clear to ridge before he left town that he needed to do some soul searching and he realized he needed to do that as well. I’m just hoping that he has. (Birds chirping)

Taylor: You know, your father’s due back today.

Steffy: Is that why you came back to town?

Taylor: No. I was already on my way back when I found out.

Steffy: I have to admit, I still feel terrible that I was the one that told the truth.

Taylor: Oh, come on. Someone in that room had to be honest. Seriously, there– I’m so glad you did it because I– I couldn’t do it. I love that you did that.

Steffy: So, you’re okay that it’s now out in the open.

Taylor: Yes, yes I am. Seriously because that– that day was just filled with lots of untruths and you know, your father deserved to know.

Steffy: I know that you think about what dad deserves, but you have to think about you and what you deserve.

Taylor: Mm.

Steffy: You need to be happy with your head held high. Self-loving, self-respecting.

Taylor: Mm-hm.

Steffy: And if it’s with dad, great, and if it’s not, then…

Taylor: Yeah, I don’t– I wish I could– I wish I could tell you how I was feeling, but I– I can’T.

Steffy: And I get that. I get that.

[ Taylor sighing ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Ridge: Hello, dad.

Eric: Hi, ridge. Just checking in with you. How are you doing?

Ridge: Well, you’re gonna see that for yourself in just a little while. I’m on my way back.

Eric: Yes, I saw that you’re using the plane.

Ridge: All right, I’m gonna bring it right back. Gonna park it right where I found it. Not a scratch on that thing. I need to come back home.

Eric: There’s been a lot going on here that you’ve missed.

Ridge: What do you mean? Is everything okay with the family?

Eric: The family’s fine. Forrester creations is fine. You just need to know you’ve been missed.

Ridge: That’s nice. That’s nice to hear. Thank you. But, I needed this time. I just need to figure some things out, you know.

Eric: Wasn’t that the point of this trip? For you to gain some clarity?

Ridge: Yes, that– that was the whole point and– and I know what I’m going to do.

Eric: Son, you need to commit to one of them. You need to make a choice. Enough of this going back and forth. Is it brooke or is it taylor? What’s your decision?

Taylor: Yeah, just schedule mr. Dulcet for next week and you know, let him know I hope he feels better and we’ll reschedule for after the holidays. Okay, thanks audrey.

Brooke: Well, I didn’t realize you were back in town.

Taylor: Yes, I am. I, uh, had to just get away and take a little breather after my wedding day debacle.

Brooke: So, is it just a– a coincidence you came back the same day ridge is coming home or did you plan it?

Taylor: No, I am. I’m feeling– I’m feeling much better. Thanks for asking. Oh, you didn’t ask, did you? No, brooke. It wasn’t planned. I was on my way home and here I am.

Brooke: Yeah, here you are. Reinvigorated and determined to win ridge back yet again. Even though you weren’t really honest with him when it mattered the most.

Taylor: Yeah, I did that, didn’t I? I should’ve told ridge what thomas did as soon as I found out and I didn’t and…

Brooke: It cost you the wedding you’ve wanted for so many years.

Taylor: Yeah, but I didn’t want it like that. That– that phone call changed a lot for both of us.

Brooke: Indeed. You know, when I was in aspen in ridge, he just kept telling me to, “just say it.” Of course, I had no idea what he was talking about until I found out what thomas did. How he called child protective services on himself. So, ridge leaving me, ending our marriage, was based on a lie and a manipulation.

Taylor: Yeah, it seems that way, doesn’t it? You know, but, I also know that, you know, what ridge and I have, the love that we share is real and very special. And no one and nothing is ever gonna take that away from us. When you really need to sleep.

Hope: Sheila’s still out there. Yeah. Okay, but call me if you have any updates. I love you too.

Steffy: Liam?

Hope: Uh, yeah. I was just touching base, seeing if he heard anything.

Steffy: Same with finn and the police. Still no new information.

Hope: I know they’re doing everything that they can, but still, everything doesn’t feel like quite enough when it comes to sheila.

Steffy: Yeah, I get it. I mean, I’m still trying to wrap my head around everything. There’s definitely a lot weighing on us, especially with our moms and my father.

[ Speaker pinging ]

Trevor: We’ll be landing in los angeles shortly, mr. Forrester. Please fasten your seatbelt and store any unsecured items.

Taylor: Hm.

Brooke: You’ll never stop loving ridge, will you?

Taylor: And neither will you.

Brooke: Well, that’s one thing we have in common. Probably the only thing.

Taylor: No, you know what else we have in common, brooke? We both love our kids.

Brooke: Yes, that’s true. But when it comes to thomas–

Taylor: Ah. I love my son very much, but I hate what he did to you. I hate it. It was awful what he put you through. I– I– I truly feel terrible about that.

Brooke: I actually believe you mean it.

Taylor: Good, because I do. For you to lose ridge the way you did because– because thomas put the final nail in your marriage coffin–

Brooke: You know that would’ve never happened. Ridge would’ve never have left me. He wouldn’t have gone to aspen. There wouldn’t have been an annulment papers.

Taylor: God. Oh, god. It’s just so confusing to me. Thomas– thomas has a lot to make up for, he really does, but I don’t think he understands the damage that he’s caused. But right now, steffy is furious with her brother.

Brooke: I am very grateful for steffy, stepping up the way she did. And I know she didn’t do that for me, but it did cost her a lot. You’re probably very proud of her.

Taylor: My daughter is amazing. She did what I should’ve done, you know? She saved the day and I love her so much for that. And you’re right, it did cost her. She was so close to having her parents married again.

Brooke: Probably won’t happen now.

Taylor: You know, the time that– that ridge and i shared together was, you know, it’S… it was all very special and then, all of this happened and we both went away. Just to deal with all of the confusion, and now, ridge is coming back. Have you talked to ridge at all?

Brooke: No. I told him that he should go away and think about what he wants out of his life, you know? I was determined to give him that. What have we done? What have we done? I mean, it’s been years like this, this back and forth with ridge. You and me just chasing a dream, defending our families.

Taylor: Yeah, now we’re wondering who’s gonna end up with her dream. I tried everything to remove fabric odors, trevor.

Trevor: Welcome back to los angeles, mr. Forrester.

Ridge: Why, thank you, trevor.

Trevor: You know, I can only imagine how eager your family is to see you.

Ridge: I’m eager to see them too.

Trevor: Well, you have a great day.

Ridge: Thanks again. Good job.

Trevor: Yes, sir. Thank you.

[ Phone pinging ]

Steffy: If you could give me any information, chief baker. Yes, please. As soon as possible. Thanks. Oh, my gosh.

Hope: What did chief baker say?

Steffy: Just the same thing over and over and over again. That he’s gonna have his men work on it 24/7, but until sheila’s in custody, I’m gonna be freaked out about this.

Hope: It’s like we’re constantly having to look over our shoulders, wondering if sheila is gonna do something crazy again or even worse.

Steffy: Yeah. It really gets you in the holiday spirit.

Hope: Huh.

Steffy: To think my dad is coming home to this. My mom and my dad, they have no idea what happened. I mean, they already have so much on their plate.

Hope: Yeah. If only thomas had stayed out of it.

Steffy: Tell me about it. What my brother did, it was reckless and it was stupid. He hurt all of us. Especially our mothers.

Hope: Yeah, well, they were both the victims of his deception, although I still can’t believe that taylor was willing to go through with the marriage–

Steffy: She was going to–

Hope: With the wedding.

Steffy: She was going to tell him after the ceremony.

Hope: Yeah, but that still doesn’t excuse the fact that she–

Steffy: My father still professed his love to my mother. He wanted to marry her and they love each other. It’s not about brooke and what she’s done.

Hope: No, and I’m not saying otherwise, I just– I think if we are being honest with ourselves, if it wasn’t for thomas’ interference, your father and my mom would probably still be married and that’s why I believe that ridge is coming back for her.

Ridge: Hi.

Taylor: Hi.

Brooke: Hi.

Ridge: Hi. Am I interrupting something?

Brooke: No.

Ridge: Because if I am–

Taylor: You’re not interrupting anything.

[ Ridge sighing ]

Ridge: Okay. When did– when did you get back?

Taylor: I got back earlier today. I didn’t know that you would also be coming home.

Brooke: So, how was your flight?

Ridge: It was uneventful. How are things here?

Brooke: We’re all hanging in. Right, taylor?

Taylor: Yeah, yeah.

Brooke: Yeah.

Taylor: We’re doing good. Did you have a good time away?

Ridge: It was productive, but I missed both of you guys.

Taylor: Aw.

Brooke: We missed you too.

Ridge: What’s going on here? I got a text when I was getting off the flight and I assumed it was–

Brooke: Yeah, that was from–

Taylor: Both of us.

Ridge: Okay, cool. What’s going on?

Taylor: I’m going to assume you’re back because you’ve– you’ve made your decision. Who you’re gonna choose. But I guess we have something to say about that.

Brooke: We do.

Lily: I’m fine.

[ Chuckles ] Really.

Daniel: Mm-hmm. Why don’t you try that with someone who doesn’t know you the way I do? You were upset when I walked in here. Now, whatever’s wrong didn’t just miraculously go away. Unless I’m magic, which, you know, I have been accused of that, so…

Lily: [ Chuckles ] I don’t know. I think there’s a law against talking about current relationship issues with an ex.

Daniel: Okay. But you know what? I bet if I was a bartender or a cab driver or any other disinterested third party, I mean, you’d probably tell me the whole story, wouldn’t you?

Lily: Well, that’s different. I would never see them again.

Daniel: You have my word. I will forget every single word after the fact, if that’s what you want, you know, like the conversation never even happened. Yes, we are exes. But you know what’s bigger than that? Our friendship.

Lily: Alright. [ Sighs ] You asked for it. I just feel like I’M… losing billy. Or maybe we’re losing each other.

Billy: I don’t think there’s anything you need to make amends for or apologize for. We’re good.

Chelsea: That’s nice of you to say. But we both know it’s not true.

Billy: We do?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] I appreciate you trying to let me off the hook. But I have to do this, not just for me, but for you, as well.

Billy: Yeah, I guess I’m — I’m just not exactly sure what we’re talking about here.

Chelsea: It’s up to you if you don’t want to hear it. I’m not gonna force anything because that exact thing, not giving you a choice — I mean, we were practically strangers — is something I’m incredibly ashamed of.

Billy: So, we are talking about what happened in myanmar?

Chelsea: The night johnny was conceived.

Victoria: You should have received a series of e-mails from my assistant outlining our brief time in los angeles and what will be involved.

Nate: I got it. Looks good.

[ Sighs ] So, is there anything special I need to bring? Anything I need to be prepared for?

Victoria: Yes. Just to bring your best smile and be prepared to be overwhelmed by a warm reception because everyone is really looking forward to meeting with you.

Nate: I can’t wait. I hope it’s okay with you. I added a meeting with someone.

Victoria: Oh. Who is it?

Nate: This kid is breaking the internet right now. I don’t even know where to start. He’s a k-pop singing sensation, a social-media phenomenon, and he also stars in a k-drama series. This kid is on the cutting edge of everything, and if we vibe, I was thinking of doing a long-term collaboration deal.

Victoria: Hmm. Okay. Well, that sounds interesting. I guess there’s no harm in meeting him, so let’s do it.

Nate: Great. And before I forget, elena’s checking to see if she can rearrange her schedule so she can come along.

Victoria: Oh. You want to bring her on your first business trip with newman?

Nate: Would that be a problem?

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Well, I mean, it’s not a vacation. We’re only there one day and we already have meetings scheduled and everything’s pretty much back to back.

Nate: I will be laser-focused and ready to learn. It won’t be a problem.

[ Cellphone pings ] Oh. Sorry about that. It’s elena. Ah. Looks like she can’t make the trip.

Victoria: I hope everything’s okay.

Nate: Couple of doctors are out sick, and she has to fill in for them. So, that’s that.

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

[ Knock on door ] Oh. Devon.

Devon: I need to speak to nate alone. The world is full of make or break moments.

provided by…

Nate: I’d be happy to speak with you, devon, but as you can see, we’re in the middle of a meeting.

Victoria: Oh, no, no, no. It’s fine. I mean, I think we’ve gone over all of the pertinent details.

Nate: If you’re sure we’re finished.

Victoria: Yes. We can talk about anything else on our way there.

Nate: Looking forward to it.

Victoria: Oh, so am I. Devon. Take care of yourself.

Devon: Oh, you too.

Nate: What’s the emergency?

Devon: So, you remember all of those chancellor-winters meetings that you sat in on, gathering information to use against us, right?

Nate: We spoke about all of that already. What’s your point?

Devon: My point is that youe ght to involve yourself in my professional life and my personal life. So, whatever happened between amanda and me is none of your damn business.

Lily: I mean, it’s not a big deal, you know? Billy and I — we clash sometimes, like all couples do. You know, like I said, we’re very different.

Daniel: Opposites attract.

Lily: [ Sighs ] I don’t know. I feel like something has changed.

Daniel: Well, from what i recall, billy’s got some destructive habits. Does this have something to do with one of those?

Lily: That’s what my instincts are telling me. It’s just, I don’t know if it’s a fair assessment.

Daniel: Why not?

Lily: Because, I mean, he’s helping a woman who is genuinely going through a very difficult time.

Daniel: Okay. And you think that maybe something is going on between the two of them?

Lily: No, no, no, no, nothing romantic, no.

[ Stammers, sighs ] It’s like he’s helping her at the exclusion of everything else, you know? He gets a text from her and he just drops everything and he goes. And — and it’s like he’s made her the center of his universe. He was there for her at this very crucial moment, and it’s almost like it’s imprinted on them, you know, and they have this, like, weird dependency with each other.

[ Sighs ] I don’t even know what I’m saying. I feel like I sound like I’m heartless or something.

Daniel: No. No. That’s the last thing you are. You sound like a woman whose boyfriend is showing up for someone else and leaving you to simmer on the back burner.

Lily: I mean, I’m not insensitive to what she’s going through, you know? Even though it sounds like I am. I — you know what? I’ve over-shared, and —

[ Sighs ] This is your fault. You forced this out of me.

[ Scoffs ]

[ Sighs ]

Daniel: Hmm.

Lily: What? Just — what?

Daniel: Nothing. I was just thinking that billy must have really gotten his act together for you to be this involved with him.

Lily: I mean, he can be the most exciting man in the room, you know? He’s — he’s thoughtful. He’s charming. He’s everything you could want in a partner.

Daniel: Until he isn’T. He’s impulsive. He makes choices that lead to disastrous outcomes.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, come on. What? Look, I’m not the one who’s in love with the guy. I can say whatever I want about him.

Lily: Yeah, clearly.

Daniel: Okay. Here’s the question. Is he falling into old patterns? You know, even though he’s trying to do the right thing and be this stand-up guy.

Lily: That’s exactly what it is. I feel like this is just a symptom.

Billy: [ Sighs ] We can talk about what happened in myanmar. But why? Um, you know it’s ancient history and, uh… we’re different people now. So I guess I just don’t really understand what —

Chelsea: The point is, I need to be accountable, own what i did, show you the respect i didn’t show you that night.

Billy: Okay, I appreciate that, but I don’t think —

Chelsea: What I did in myanmar was wrong, billy. And there’s no excusing it. So please…let me do this.

Billy: [ Inhales deeply ]

[ Clears throat ]

[ Sighs ]

Chelsea: Um, you know…

[ Sighs ] You were just another mark to me, you know, a cute, funny mark who tipped well.

[ Sighs ] We had sex —

Billy: Chels, I know all this, okay? I’m — I-I know.

Chelsea: You didn’t do anything wrong. And you got thrown in that godforsaken prison because of me. And you didn’t remember any of it. To me, at the time, it was just a crazy night that went too far, but I realize now it was wrong. It wasn’t just wild, and it most certainly wasn’t just consensual. How could it be when you were high out of your mind? And I realize now how wrong it was. When you can barely smell your plug-in,

Connor: Bye, dad!

Sharon: Hey, connor. How was school today?

Connor: Incredibly school-like. And after a long day in class, there’s one thing I want more than anything.

Sharon: One hot chocolate coming right up.

Connor: Thanks.

Sharon: After I hear one thing that you learned in school today that you thought was interesting.

Connor: Let’s see. Oh, some lichens grow just one millimeter in an entire year.

Sharon: Wow. Well, if that’s the best they can do, yay for the lichens.

Connor: And scientists have found them in the coldest places on earth.

Johnny: And they’re a life-form that’s a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and an algae.

Connor: Hey, johnny.

Johnny: ‘Sup, con. It’s freezing out there.

Connor: Want to go see if we can find any lichens?

Johnny: As long as I can get in on some of that hot chocolate action.

Sharon: You’re in. One hot chocolate coming up for you. Oh, michelle, could you please grab two hot chocolates, please?Ank yo um, are your parents joining you?

Johnny: Oh, uh, my mom just dropped me off. I convinced her to let me hang here for a while.

Sharon: Okay. Well, why don’t you two boys grab a seat? I’ll bring the hot chocolates over when they come out.

Johnny: Oh, I leveled up in “moonlight mayhem.”

Connor: No way. I can’t get past the boss on level 28.

Chance: Guys.

Sharon: Hey, chance.

Chance: Hi.

Sharon: Can I get you something?

Chance: I’ll do a black coffee, please.

Sharon: Okay.

Chance: Boys look like they’re having a good time, yeah? I know abby sure adores them.

Sharon: How are things, uh, going between you two?

Chance: I haven’t really seen her since I moved out. Been pretty busy settling into my new place. Thank you.

Sharon: You know, my offer to be a sounding board if you need it — oh, thank you, michelle — it still stands.

Chance: Oh. [ Chuckles ] I don’t want to get in the way of the boys and their hot cocoas now.

Sharon: Uh, yeah, they do look a little impatient. Let me bring these over there, and I’ll be right back.

Chance: Okay.

Sharon: Connor’S. And one for johnny, too.

Johnny: Thank you.

Connor: These are even better than last time. Thanks, sharon.

Sharon: Wow. You’re welcome. Please enjoy.

Johnny: You must get special treatment in here, don’t you?

Connor: Maybe a little.

Johnny: Well, then we are going to have to hang out a whole lot more.

Connor: [ Chuckles ]

Abby: Okay. Alright. There we are. Wow. I promise I will take you back to the park tomorrow because all those decorations — they were so beautiful.

[ Gasps ] Look, you have a baby lion right here.

[ Sighs ] You were turning into a baby snowman.

[ Smooches ] And we can’t have that, can we? So here we are in daddy devon’s toasty, toasty little place. Yeah. Yeah. So, here, let’s get all comfy and cozy and warm. How does that sound? Huh? Yes, daddy devon said he will be back soon and we should make ourselves at home, so that is exactly what we are doing. And you know what I think? I think we need a change of scenery, huh?

Dominic: Mama.

Abby: Ugh. I know. I know. Things have been a little sad at home since chance left. And we are getting our footing. But I promise everything is gonna be okay. Yeah.

[ Sighs ]

Nate: You and amanda are the last thing on my mind at this moment.

Devon: Mm.

Nate: So I’m not sure why you barged in here so upset.

Devon: Well, you asked lily about us, and then apparently her answer wasn’t good enough, so then you asked me about us.

Nate: Then you shut me down, said it was a family matter.

Devon: I spoke to imani this morning on the phone, and she told me that you called her and you asked her about us.

Nate: I called imani to see how naya’s holding up and if her condition had changed.

Devon: And then you what? You conveniently steered the conversation to me?

Nate: Steered it to you?

Devon: Yeah.

Nate: Amanda’s rather abrupt relocation to virginia came up, yes. But isn’t it natural for me to wonder what could have happened to cause her to walk away from both her job and a committed relationship with you?

Devon: No, it’s not. What’s natural is to let something go when somebody tells you it’s none of your business. That’s what’s natural.

Nate: Wow. This is quite the touchy subject for you, isn’t it? Makes me wonder, what in the world could you have done to mess things up with amanda? Hi, I’m lauren, I lost 67 pounds on golo.

Chance: Look at them. They make it look so easy. I mean, after years of thinking they were cousins, they find out they’re biological brothers and they just roll with it.

Sharon: Children can be very wise. We could learn a lot from them.

Chance: Well, I hope they can tell me their secret because I’ve been doing everything I can to be amicable with abby. And — I don’t know — inside, i just got a lot of things going on.

Sharon: Well, that’s only natural. The key is to find a healthy way to get those feelings out.

Chance: Like talking to you?

Sharon: Sure. I was thinking about, you know, you could go to the gym, hit a punching bag, but whatever works for you.

Chance: Mnh. Boxing kind of reminds me of victor. I think I’ll stick with you.

Sharon: It won’t be terrible. I promise.

Chance: I know. You’re pretty easy to talk to. I’ll tell you what I’m worried about the most. It’s dominic. You know, he’s so young, and he’s going through all these big changes. You know, I read somewhere that early childhood trauma can impact the rest of your life.

Sharon: It can. But you and abby and devon are all putting him first. You’re doing everything you can to make this transition easy for him.

Chance: I just don’t want him to feel like he has to grow up and navigate all this tension between everybody. And I know the solution is to get rid of all the tension, but — I don’t know — that’s tough. I can’t just snap my fingers, make it all go away.

Sharon: Well, in time, it’ll get easier. You’ll all move on.

Chance: You know, I spent my entire childhood believing my dad was dead. And even though I had the best mom in the world and I had a great stepdad in ryan… I still felt that loss.

Sharon: And then you lost ryan, too.

Chance: I wanted things to be less complicated for my son. I think I failed.

Sharon: No, you didn’T. Dom will always be in your life. He’ll have this blended and, yes, unconventional family, but that could be a huge advantage to him. He’ll have so many people who love him. Look at those boys. You know, they have been through divorces, stepparents. Now they’ve just found out they’re brothers. And they’re doing great. That’s dom’s future.

Lily: God, you have no idea how good it feels to talk about this. It just — it’s been driving me crazy.

Daniel: I know you don’t need me to tell you this, but whatever’s going on with him, it — it isn’t about or because of you.

Lily: I mean, my head knows that, but…my heart, not so sure.

Daniel: Okay.

[ Clears throat ] Well, are you, um, ready for my outsider’s opinion?

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Sure.

Daniel: You and billy aren’t losing each other.

Lily: Then what’s happening?

Daniel: What’s happening is you. You’re too nice.

Lily: [ Laughs ] What’s that even mean? What?

Daniel: If you weren’t so focused on being polite, you would admit that billy’s choices — they aren’t compatible with a long-term relationship. And the two of you might actually benefit from setting more defined boundaries. How’d I do?

Lily: [ Sighs ] That was awful.

Daniel: [ Laughs ] What’d I say that was so wrong?

Lily: Nothing, nothing. I — [ Sighs ] I shouldn’t even be talking about this. Just — [ Sighs ] We had an argument, and — and I’m still figuring things out. So, that’s it.

Daniel: Okay. Well, let me present a different, more optimistic scenario. What if the guy is more noble than any of us have ever given him credit for? And this person he’s helping — what if she is in such a bad place that she needs him to be this involved and she needs him to be this committed, you know, just to make it through this difficult time?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Chelsea: I drugged you, billy. Because of what I did, you were in no condition to consent to anything.

Billy: I hear you. And I need you to listen to me for a second here, okay, because I’ve had a wild streak my entire life. And — and when I think back on that night, it was a perfect storm of, “why the hell not?” I walked on the wild side, and i enjoyed every minute of it, chels.

Chelsea: You’re doing that thing again. Stop it.

Billy: What thing is that?

Chelsea: That thing, that thing you do where you make excuses for me because you think it’s too much for me to handle. If you don’t want to talk about it, fine, but otherwise, please —

Billy: No, I guess I just don’t understand where this is coming from right now.

Chelsea: Johnny. Johnny. That’s where this is coming from. He’s gonna grow up and ask questions. This sweet, beautiful, innocent little boy is gonna ask questions, and he’s gonna want to know how I met his dad. And that — that breaks my heart for him. And truly, it breaks my heart for you, too. You never remembered anything. And that’s awful. And it doesn’t matter what you said or did at the time. That was not real consent. I mean, am… am I wrong that this matters?

Billy: My son was created that night with someone that i barely knew. And you’re right. I don’t remember anything. But he exists. And I love him. And because of him, I wouldn’t change a thing. But…if anything like that ever happened to him —

Chelsea: I know. I know, billy.

[ Voice breaking ] And I am so sorry.

Sharon: Children are resilient.

Chance: Yeah, I, uh — I got to remember that. Maybe I’ll worry less about dom.

Sharon: Adults can be resilient, too. I’ve seen you overcome all kinds of things in the past, and this is no different.

Chance: Yeah, I keep asking myself — after everything that happened in spain, this should be easy to get over, right? It shouldn’t be a big deal. It’s not.

Sharon: Nothing is bigger than your family. So don’t discount what you’re going through now.

Chance: Well, I’ll tell you one thing. Wallowing is not the answer, either. I know what I do need. I need to add a little bit of johnny and connor’s “que ser* ser*” vibe into my life.

Sharon: Maybe we should ask them for advice.

Chance: [ Chuckles ]

Abby: Look at this picture. You see these people? This — this is your family. You know daddy. And then there’s aunt lily. She’s daddy’s sister, and she adores you.

Dominic: Yeah.

Abby: Yeah.

Dominic: Yeah.

Abby: And this man right here — you know him.

Dominic: Yeah.

Abby: Yeah. He’s grandpa neil. Grandpa neil. You want to know something? Grandpa neil and grandpa victor were really good friends, just like me and your dad.

Dominic: Yeah. Yeah.

Dominic: Ma. Ma. Ma.

Abby: Daddy and I, our friendship — it goes way back. And that friendship is very important to me. And now I don’t know what’s gonna happen.

Nate: Amanda told imani something went down between the two of you. That’s the reason why she decided not to stick around genoa city. She just didn’t tell her what it was.

Devon: Okay, then. It doesn’t concern either one of you, it sounds like.

Nate: Amanda decided to walk away from her relationship with you. After speaking with imani, i know it wasn’t about naya’s condition. That hasn’t changed. Which leads me to think the two of you had some sort of falling-out, like, a big one.

Devon: Why are you so obsessed with a family that you’re not a part of anymore?

Nate: I don’t know if you know this, but amanda stopped by my place last time when she got back from virginia.

Devon: Uh-huh. Yeah. And?

Nate: She wanted to find a way to make things work between you and me. She was trying to help you because she knows how much family means to you.

Devon: Right, and it doesn’t mean anything to you, which is why you’ve lost the right to ask me any questions about my life. Okay?

Nate: Okay. Last time I saw amanda, she was with chance. Yeah. He showed up right after our conversation about love and forgiveness and family. They were headed to your place. The next thing I know, you and amanda were done. It makes me wonder — what did I miss? Hmm. Who says you have to spend more on skincare

Johnny: That’s the link for the game download and right under that is my username and that way —

Connor: We can play together even when we’re not hanging out in the same place.

Johnny: You’re gonna be into it. The graphics are so cool.

Connor: I have to run it by my mom first. She always checks to make sure everything’s age-appropriate.

Johnny: Yeah, my mom’s the same way.

Connor: I bet they all read the same rulebook.

Johnny: But is chelsea, like, really strict?

Connor: On a scale of 1 to 10, she’s probably a solid 5.

Johnny: Yeah. That’s not that bad.

Connor: Don’t get me wrong. She won’t even let me start gaming till I do all my homework and chores.

Johnny: Yeah. Same.

Connor: It’s rough sometimes, but we’ve been apart before, like when she was in the hospital. And there was that time I was away in boarding school. So I can handle it when she’s bossy. At least it means we’re together.

Chance: I’m not gonna unload my problems on a bunch of kids.

Sharon: No, of course not. I was just thinking we could ask them what’s putting a smile on their face. Maybe they could show us adults how to do it.

Chance: What if they’re posting one of those dance videos? I can’t do it. That’s not in my capabilities. Mnh-mnh.

Sharon: There’s one way to find out.

Devon: Nate, you don’t need to wonder anything about my breakup with amanda, okay?

Nate: I can’t help being curious. The timing was so sudden.

Devon: Why are you acting like you care in the first place? You were ready to sell us out, and you now want me to believe that this concern is genuine?

Nate: It is. I witnessed up close all the obstacles you and amanda had to face to get where you were. You looked like the perfect couple.

Devon: Well, you clearly had no idea what was going on in our relationship.

Nate: True. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors. But the last time we spoke, amanda was saying the most beautiful things about how much she loved you.

Devon: Nate, you’ve shown to me that you don’t give a damn about me. So, why are you interested? I am sad that the two of you didn’t work out. But it’s more than that now, given how evasive you’re being.

[ Scoffs ] It sure would be a shock to learn that you’ve been acting all holier than thou with me when you’ve got your own mistakes to answer for.

Devon: Oh, we’re calling what you did a “mistake” now?

Nate: I am tired of you dumping on me, saying I’m a horrible human being and what i did is unforgivable, when I’ve apologized repeatedly and sincerely.

Devon: Well, there’s the problem right there, is that you think by doing that, you can erase all the damage you’ve done.

Nate: I reached out to you, and you turned me down. Now you come to my place of business to get in my face for asking why your relationship crashed and burned. You took a casual remark I made to imani and blew it up. What did you do that’s so incendiary you’re afraid I’ll find out? I admitted what I planned to do, but you don’t have the guts to own up to whatever you actually did to amanda.

Lily: It just feels like there’s an underlying addictive component to what billy’s doing.

Daniel: Helping this friend.

Lily: Yeah, because he’s doing a good thing, helping someone through a hard time, you know? But it’s like it makes him feel good to be the one that she turns to, who has all the answers. And then the more he feels good, the more he wants that and he needs that.

Daniel: It’s white knight syndrome.

Lily: Yeah. I mean, it’s his sole focus in life. And then, of course, you know, he doesn’t see it, so when i bring it up to him…

Devon: Then you’re the bad guy trying to kill his buzz.

Lily: Exactly.

[ Sighs ] I mean, tell me I’m wrong. Tell me I’m misreading this whole situation.

Daniel: Mnh, I’m not gonna do that. I mean, I trust your gut over just about anybody else’S.

Lily: Yeah, right.

Daniel: No. Really. You are smart and sympathetic and thoughtful. I mean, if you’re seeing red flags, then… look, I know that you already know this, but I’m gonna say it anyway.

Lily: [ Sighs ] Oh, god. What?

Daniel: Billy is billy. You can’t change him, so don’t try. No one can really change anyone else. They have to want to change. So, where does that leave you?

Johnny: Okay, so, it’s called “moonlight mayhem” because the monsters only come out at night.

Connor: Werewolves, vampires. They all love the dark.

Chance: Kind of like crooks.

Johnny: Yeah, except criminals don’t literally burn to a crisp whenever they’re in the sun.

Sharon: He’s got a point.

Chance: Alright, well, can — can you teach me to play?

Connor: You really want to learn?

Chance: Yeah. I want to change things up, man. I want to take on some vampires and some werewolves. Let’s go.

Johnny: Alright.

Chance: Alright. Right here? Is that what I do?

Connor: Yeah.

Chance: Oh! Whoops.

Abby: Ohh. Come here. I know. You’re my baby. You’re my baby.

Dominic: [ Cooing ]

Abby: And I know that things are pretty weird right now. And I’m sorry about that. I really wish they weren’T. But maybe that’s just how things were meant for us. ‘Cause, to be honest, things were kind of weird before you were born, too. My parents weren’t together. And just like you, I had a second dad, and his name was brad. And he was wonderful.

[ Chuckles ] Want to know what else I had? I had a lot of love around me, a lot of people who were invested in making everything okay, just like you have. And I know that things have been different since chance moved out, but different doesn’t mean bad. Things are gonna get better.

Dominic: [ Cooing ]

Abby: Yeah. I know they will. Yeah.

Devon: So, here’s what you don’t seem to understand, nate, is that I don’t owe you anything at all — anything. I don’t owe you any respect. I don’t owe you any explanations. Literally nothing.

Nate: I hear you. You’ve made yourself loud and clear. I can’t even ask you about what’s going on in your life.

Devon: Now you’re catching on.

Nate: Got it. So, let me make myself clear. Since we’re not family and we’re not colleagues, there’s no reason for you to show up here again.

Devon: Well, don’t give me a reason to show up here again. Mind your business and stay out of my life. How about that?

[ Door opens ]

[ Door slams ]

Lily: You’re a good friend.

Devon: You know, some would say the best.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] I’m really happy we’ve been able to maintain that — through everything, you know? Marriages, divorces, children, time.

Daniel: Me too.

Lily: I’m really happy I can share things like this with you.

Daniel: [ Chuckles ] Do you feel better?

Lily: Yeah. Thank you.

Daniel: I’m glad I could help.

Lily: You know, the thing is, in spite of everything and how frustrated I’ve been, I really do want to believe that this is a rough patch and that billy and I will work through this.

Daniel: You know, I just want you to be happy. That’s what you deserve. And I really hope that billy is the one to help you find that happiness.

Chelsea: You deserved better. Johnny deserved better.

Billy: I appreciate your apology. I do. And I’m pretty sure dr. Malone didn’t want this to be a torturous situation for you.

Chelsea: It’s not — it’s not torture. It’s a release, actually. You know, all of the selfish, destructive things I did, all the reasons I hated myself, i would push them down. This has forced me to look at them and make amends and not let them control me.

Billy: Then it’s all worth it. And I’ve moved on. And the most important thing is johnny is happy, he’s healthy, and he’s thriving. And you can move on, too.

Chelsea: How can I?

Billy: Because if the same situation presented itself, i mean, you wouldn’t do the same thing, would you?

Chelsea: No, never.

Billy: Of course you wouldn’t because you’re not the same person. And what you just did was incredibly brave.

Chelsea: Telling the truth?

Billy: For taking responsibility for your actions and choices that you made a long time ago. But that was a lifetime ago. And you’ve made your amends. I acknowledge it, and i appreciate it.

Chelsea: Well, I’m not gonna ask for forgiveness because what I did was unforgivable. But I do want you to know I am raising connor to be a better person than I ever was. And I am not going to forget or excuse my behavior. But I am grateful that you’ve shown me a semblance of kindness. It’s more than I deserve.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

No! Come on, now. C’mere. Ooh. How about — how about this? Why don’t I whip up dessert for us? Oh, is that why you’re here? Because I forgot. Uh, well, you made dinner, and then we got… distracted. The way I see it, there’s bad distraction and good distraction. Oh, and what distraction are you? You tell me. Okay. You’re a terrible… terrible, terrible distraction. Mm, dessert! No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait, wait. C’mere. We’re doing something different, ’cause you’re not lifting a hand tonight. ‘Cause I had panna cotta delivered from bernardino’S. Wow, how decadent. Wait here. Right there.

[ Laughing ] Ahh! Oh! Is it safe to talk here? Yeah. I used to own the place. This is the break room for the pool staff, and the pool’s closed, so… okay. Please tell me it all went off without a hitch. Don’t worry. Your friend drew no longer has any reason to look for that poor girl’s mother. I just met with someone who knew harmony on the commune when — when harmony unofficially adopted you. Did you find out more about my biological mother’s identity? I did. Why the hesitation? Well, I should verify the information first.

[ Sighs ] I-I can’t wait that long. I have to know what your source said. I’m sorry, willow. It’s — it’s not great news. Did you hit a roadblock? It appears that your biological mother… died. Yes? I’ll give you one guess. Wrong! A birthday party, britt? First, the injury. You’re planning this party yourself? It’s not like you don’t have port charles’ premier party planner at your disposal. Me. Maxie — second, the insult. I had to find out about this self-planned party from austin. Tick-tock, spine lli.You do what I asked you to do? I did. I ran society setups’ algorithm on you and maxie behind her back. Now you’ll know if you are truly meant to be. You know, you really don’t need to stick to these mocktails on my account. According to your lifestyle section, they’re all the rage. Well, then I hope it measures up to all the hype. Right now, I’m just sort of focused on, uh, the news that’s dominating our front page. And how’s it going with that? The police given you any more information about this killer? The police are very tight-lipped, although I do have a contact that may have access to some inside information. Just be careful. You want to investigate criminals without becoming one. I mean, threading that needle between journalistic responsibility and the public good is a balancing act. I’m gonna stop you just for a second. There’s something that we need to talk about. Elizabeth: I know I don’t deserve your consideration, but my boys don’t know about the pregnancy. And I’d just really appreciate it if you didn’t tell anyone. I would never do anything to hurt your boys. Ava, what are you doing here? It’s time we addressed the fate of our marriage. When a cold comes on strong, knock it out with vicks dayquil severe. Just one dose starts to relieve 9 of your worst cold and flu symptoms. To help take you from 9 to none. Power through with vicks dayquil severe.

That your biologicalmother was an only child, but there’s still hope that your biological father’s out there. There is? Well, yeah. Sure. I mean, it’ll be difficult to pinpoint exactly who that is because they weren’t in a relationship. I see. But we have options, right? There’s the genealogy services. Maybe your biological father registered for one. People find lost relatives all the time. Yeah. Yeah, maybe. I’m sorry, willow. I know this wasn’t the news that you wanted to hear. No, no, no. No, don’T. Don’T. I, uh — I just need some air. I can’t believe it’s come to this. But it’s really for the best. I mean, this friend of mine and drew’s, she cannot find out who her birth mother is. It will cause her a world of pain. Willow: Every time — every time I think we’ve made some headway, you prove that there is just no reasoning with you. You only see what you want to. Denise: Are you trying tojustify it to yourself or to me? Because I don’t care about the reasons, not as long as your check clears. I do understand that it is your party and you can exclude who you want to. Maybe it’s just for G.H. Hospital staff. Maybe you’re only inviting doctors. But, I mean, are you really not gonna invite me? I wanted to give you this in person. Oh. Well, then, apology accepted. Did I apologize? It’s implied. Mm. Oh, printed invitations. High-quality cardstock. You are going all out. What’s, uh — what’s this about? What, a girl can’t throw herself a party? Please. I’m the queen of celebrating birthday week. You, on the other hand… what can I say, maxie? I contain multitudes. Yeah, so does austin, which is probably why he was so protective over spilling the beans about this party of yours. I mean, he comes to town, this swashbuckling country doctor who delivers my baby in the woods and gets knocked out for his trouble. Generally, he’s been very good to me. And so what’s the problem? Aside from alienating every one of my friends one by one? Except for you, which I am extremely grateful for. He can’t have alienated everybody.

[ Elevator dings ] Okay, brook lynn, drew, your mom. Even georgie and spinelli hate him. And I’m not sure what to do about that. Thank you for doing what I’ve asked.

[ Scoffs ] If by “asked,” you mean “extorted.” I think you have me all wrong, spinelli. I never really wanted to go public with your criminally effective algorithm. But you would have. Eh, maybe. I mean, I don’t know, and it doesn’t matter, ’cause now we have this. Dr. Gatlin-holt, I — I implore you, one last time, please do not force my hand like this. Yeah, I don’t think I have a choice, because you and everybody else in this town have been whispering in maxie’s ear, telling her to cut bait. Wait. This isn’t about insecurity? This is — this is purely about proving everybody wrong? Is that — is that really worth it, to be dishonest with someone that you hope to have a future with? I’m sorry, alexis. Have I done something to offend you? No! No, no, no. Offend? That’s — that’s too strong of a word. Okay, then…? It’s just a small thing. You know how, um, when we first met, we had this — this kind of push-pull, back-and-forth professional/personal banter? It was so much fun. Well, now that we’re friends, it kind of feels like I’m being talked at, not talked to. Talked at? Lectured.

[ Chuckles ] Well, i am a lecturer, so occupational hazard. I get that. I get that.

[ Laughs ] I’m a minefield of occupational hazards — probing questions, rules, regulations, procedures, technical– not to mention objections. Sorry, bad joke. I just think it would be best if all our conversations didn’t turn into ted talks, for the sake of our friendship. If maybe you could recognize that if I want advice from you, it should be invited advice. That’s all. Don’t tell me the topic of our marriage has left you speechless. You typically have so much to say on the subject. Yeah, I just — I don’t want to get my hopes up too high. Coincidentally, hope is what I’m here to discuss. Okay. Logic dictates that I — I cast you aside. We have both caused the other a tremendous amount of pain. Mostly you hurting me, of course. Ava, I — but there’s no denying that when we are there for each other, we are a formidable team. We would follow each other into hell. And lead each other there, which I suppose is part of the problem. But as a united front, well… we haven’t been that, have we, in quite a long while? No, we haven’T. And yet, somehow, against all reason, I keep coming back to the same question. Can we find our way back to that? I think that we owe ourselves a final, definitive answer. You aren’t suggesting to move back in, are you? I was just about to clock out, but before I leave, can I get you anything?

Here it is. Panna cotta. Ah. Yeah. Well, that looks delicious. Can’t wait to dig into it. Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, you know, donna leaves those blocks all over the house, and I find them everywhere. Yeah. Yeah, that’s kids for you, right? I’m so glad that you and donna spent time together. I know it’s a little awkward, but it’s gonna get easier once carly and i redraw the boundaries. Yeah. Carly knows that you’re not going anywhere, but I don’t want any distance between you and my daughter. And I really appreciate that. But what if that’s for the best? Wow, you cut to the chase, don’t you? I saw too many friends on the commune get sucked into all kinds of shadiness. I learned the hard way, it’s best not to get too invested in anyone. Then tell me what you said to drew. I corroborated harmony’s story. A sweet, troubled girl named joan got caught up in the family way, joined a commune, had her baby, and skipped out. Then, years later, I happened to witness joan’s passing — drug overdose in a flophouse. Alright. What about the father? What about him? What about him? You were supposed to tell drew that both of the baby’s parents were dead. This payment only covers one imaginary dead parent. You want two in the grave? Now, that’s gonna cost you.

[ Crying quietly ] Willow? I just need a second. It’s, uh… it’s freezing out here. Can I — can I get you your jacket? You don’t want to get sick.

[ Laughs ] I’m sorry, um… it’s just… you have no idea… how important this was to me, how much I was counting on it. But I guess this hail mary isn’t going to happen, is it? Drew: Your body is going through so much right now. I know — I know it’s got to be so hard. Who told you? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey. Are you okay? Yeah. Oh, no. I woke you up. I’m so sorry.

[ Chuckles ] This — this baby is active. Wears me out. Yeah. You do look a little pale. Oh, my god. You are sick. Aren’t you? Well, I-I wasn’t suggesting that I move back in. Though I assume that you’d be open to that idea. Am I wrong? No, no — of course I want you to move back in. Uh-huh. No, it’s just — I-I just don’t want to rush things. Mm. In fact, I was — I was just telling spencer that I would prefer that he move back in because he wanted to, not because he had to. Spencer’s back? Yes. And that’s why I think it would be best for you to keep your distance from him, at least until we sort things out. That could take some time. I-I take it from your impatience that you want to work on our marriage? I’M… I’m not able to forgive you yet, but I don’t want to give up either. And then there’s the whole problem of victor, which I guess leaves us in a state of limbo. And maybe you’re done waiting, but I’m just hoping that you’d be willing to press pause for now.

[ Footsteps approach ] Finn? Son. Huh? Hey, uh, sorry. I just — I zoned out there for a minute. I-I was just thinking about, uh… you look practically frozen. Where’s your coat? Did you leave it in the car? I don’t know. I just — I was walking, and… you know what? It turns out I really am hungry. Would you mind flagging down the waitress and getting us something to eat, and I can catch up with my friend? One mixed appetizer platter coming up. Neither of us fell for that. Yeah, well, I’m not a very good liar. I’m a truth teller. I try to be. And you have the truth written all over your face. So what’s going on? I took your advice and I followed up with elizabeth. And? And things are over for us. Who the hell are you to lecture me about integrity? All this talk about being honest with maxie? You’re the one who ran that data set to protect yourself.

[ Scoffs ] Dr. Gatlin-holt — you know what? You’re absolutely right. Huh. Where you going? To reset my moral compass. I allowed myself to falter, but thankfully, you — you [Chuckles] Reminded me of the man that I truly am — one who would never betray maxie, even if it cost me my company, my freedom, or anything else.

[ Door opens ]

[ Stammers ] I mean, I get that spinelli’s your friend, but — my best friend, the father of my eldest, my person, and the last time spinelli had bad vibes from someone was peter. Okay, but comparing austin and peter? No, no, I know austin is not peter. But after everything I’ve been through, it’s hard for me to trust, britt. Most importantly, it’s hard for me to trust my own judgment. Spinelli, give it back. What? I can’t give it back. It was never in your possession in the first place. Well, hand it over now, then. Pshh! Austin! Spinelli! What’s this?

Chasing each other aroundthe halls of a hospital? Over what? Some letter or…? “Society setups.” What is this? I had spinelli run his algorithm on us.

His algorithm?

You’re society setups? Wait. You had spinelli run an algorithm on us behind my back? And — and — and you went along with it? No, that’s not possible. You would never do that. He would… if I blackmailed him. Ava: Hi, elizabeth. Hi. What — what are you doing here? With your own keys, too?

[ Chuckles ] Sorry to interrupt. Um, aiden is doing a-a family tree project, and nikolas was kind enough to let me go through some of laura’s stuff. So he gave you the keys to the castle. Literally. Well, we planned for elizabeth to come tomorrow. Would you mind coming then? It’s — I know you came all this way, but ava and I were — no, no, it’s — it’s okay. Actually, I’ll go. Are you sure? Yeah, yeah, I’ve — I’ve said all I need to say. So… good night, then.

[ Door closes ]

[ Elizabeth sighs ] Hey, spencer is upstairs. He might be moving back in. We have to be careful. Yeah, that’s not our only problem. Finn found those. Apparently, he saw the same bottle here at wyndemere. He started asking a whole bunch of questions, wanted to send the cops over, but I stopped him.

[ Sighs ] How?

[ Chuckles ] Congratulations. You’re gonna be a father again. To my child. I’m sorry that things didn’t work out with you and elizabeth. Are you sure it’s over? Does this have to do with what happened with jeff? Well, a lot more went down. But it’s not my place. You know, for an addict such as yourself, it wouldn’t be surprising if you thought about having a drink tonight. Why don’t you pass me a spoon? Here. Thank you. Okay, you know you can tell me anything, right? I did have such a nice time playing with donna. Yeah.

[ Both chuckle ] Josslyn, she stopped by, and she made it very clear that she thinks that this, you and me, is just only temporary, and then my head started spinning, and I started to wonder if all this pain and agony that we have to go through to be in this relationship — if it would be worth it if we didn’t survive. The only thing we can do is move forward. Carly has, right? Yeah, yeah. Okay, so? I-I totally get that. And then I see the blocks, and then I… I see this “mommy” picture, and then I start to think about what it will mean if I get closer to donna. How so? It’s really awkward for me to talk about, because I feel like it stops me from moving forward. But you know this — the reality is, I am a woman whose baby was stolen from me, a daughter who was kept from me her entire life. So I have this big hole that will never go away inside of my heart that I always keep trying to fill. And the more time that I spend with donna… …the more I’m afraid that the lines could be blurred. We agreed on a fee for you to tell drew some story about how both parents were dead so there would be no one else for him to go looking for. The terms changed. I’m not made of money. That’s a shame. Maybe I should call drew and tell him what’s going on. Or I could find that nice young woman that he’s lying to on your behalf. Or… you could pay me what I’m worth, and I’ll think about calling drew back and telling him that I remember who this girl’s papa is and how the whole family moved on to the great beyond. Willow, are you sick?

[ Scoffs ] What makes you think — my son. Oscar. He was sick, too. Is it…? It’s leukemia. I’m so sorry. What do the doctors say? I’m in stage iv.

[ Sighs ] So, yeah, it’s pretty aggressive, and unless I can find a family member or a close enough match for a bone marrow donation… …I don’t know.

Did you tell finn thatyou’re pregnant with my kid? I panicked. I had to think on my feet, and I had to explain why I ordered prenatal vitamins that weren’t for a patient. Well, why didn’t you tell him that you were pregnant with his child? I had to keep him away from this place! And it explains why I’ve been here and why I keep coming back.

And we haven’t slept together! Oh, my god. How are we gonna get through this? I mean, it’s not like you can fake a pregnancy for months. No, no. I-I would never do that to my boys. I’ve just — I’ve bought us some time. In a few weeks, I will tell finn that I miscarried and… oh, my god, he’s gonna feel so sorry for me. This is so awful. I’ve already caused him so much pain, and everything I do, it just keeps making everything worse. I have to tell finn the truth. About everything. Even if I had considered it, you know I’m not an alcoholic. Mm, yeah, no, I know that. But didn’t you tell me that people in N.A. Don’t drink because it loosens their inhibitions and — and they lose self control and they make choices that are self destructive?

[ Sighs ] Sorry for the delay. I think the other bartender was supposed to make this for you. No, um, I mean, I’m sorry. It must have been a mistake. But, please, if you like… enjoy this. It’s on me. I should get going. I’m here if you want to talk. I know. I think… maybe you already got through to me. For your walk home.

[ Door closes ] Shall we dig in? My family… is in your debt tonight, aren’t we? Nina, I understand what you’re saying, but I don’t think you have anything to worry about. Mm… yeah, I know you don’T. Um, it’s just, you know, the holidays are right around the corner, and people think about their families. I think about the family that I lost. That’s why you have to move forward. Didn’t I say that? Yeah. [ Chuckles ] And, you know, you’re great with donna. Thank you. I really appreciate that. But I know myself, and I know the closer I get to donna, the more I will inadvertently start using her to fill up this little hole I have. And I don’t want to use donna the way I tried to use wiley. You didn’t use wiley. He’s your grandson. You have every right to be close to him. Yes, and maybe one day I will. But in the meantime, I gotta stop myself from getting closer to donna, okay? I know how messy things can get with avery because of carly and ava, and I’ll just keep my distance, keep the boundaries very, very clear. So, when it comes to donna… …I’m just your friend. Carly: You know what? You really are awful. You know that?

[ Chuckles ] It could be worse. I could be paying someone to lie about their parents being dead. I’m doing this to protect someone I care about deeply. You’re doing it to get rich. And yet you need me. At least I own who I am and what I’m doing. Trust me, your life would be a lot easier if you looked in the mirror and did the same. Willow… why didn’t you say anything as soon as you found out? Chemotherapy could… hurt the baby during the first trimester, so I made up my mind to wait. I figured it couldn’t get that much worse, right? Well, stage iv. What’s the prognosis now? I’m getting chemo, but it’s not enough. I need a bone marrow transplant, and the best chance for a match is with a family member, but I don’t have any. Does — does michael know? Yeah, he does now. He immediately forgave me for keeping it a secret. He’s been wonderful and supportive. Yeah. No surprise there. The only other people who know are tj and my doctors. If we had known, we could have helped. I want to shield wiley from this for as long as possible, and the quartermaines and carly, god love them, but they wear their hearts on their sleeves. Could you imagine if brook lynn or olivia found out? One look at them, and wiley would know something is wrong. Promise me. Promise me, drew, that you won’t tell anybody that I’m sick, not even carly.

Okay, I feel like you’re angry. I’m gonna give you one minute to explain your justification for blackmailing spinelli. Yeah, I guess there really isn’t one. Okay, then. No, it was stupid. That — that was a stupid thing to do. I — I — I own that. I shouldn’t have pressured spinelli. I think the word you initially used was “blackmail.” Right, that. I shouldn’t have done that either. But, you know, on the upside, spinelli’s secret is safe, and I hope that you and i can get past this. There’s something I need you to understand, austin. Okay. For three years, someone I thought I loved was lying to me and doing really shady things behind my back. Yeah, things.

Things. I didn’t — I did a thing. Okay, how do I know that? See, with peter, I kept overlooking all these tiny red flags. I own that. But you threatening to hurt spinelli, my best friend in the whole world, georgie’s father? That is a huge red flag. Willow: Please. You cannot say anything to anyone about my diagnosis. Willow, I — I just — I want to give wiley a few more weeks of happiness. And, frankly, i need a few weeks of happiness before everyone starts treating me like a sick person. I get it. You want to be in the driver’s seat. You’ve got my word. I won’t tell a soul. Thank you. Okay. But I’m not giving up on the search for your family, okay? I’m gonna find your biological father. There’s — you might have a long-lost sibling out there, or cousins or aunt, uncle, somebody out there. Thank you. Now, can we go inside? Because you may be able to tough this out, but I’m freezing.

[ Laughs ] Okay. Sounds good. Okay. Okay. There you are. How’s it going? Elizabeth, you can’t do that. He will send the cops right here. Yeah, cameron is an adult, but where does that leave aiden and jake? Even if they’re lenient on you, you could serve time away from them. I don’t even know who I am anymore. How did I become this person who would do something like this? You did it because you know that this protects everyone. Sometimes the tough decisions, they have to be made, sacrifices for the greater good. But finn — finn said he wouldn’t say anything to anybody, you know, to give me time to tell the boys. And y-you trust that finn won’t say anything to anyone else? Oh, hi. Hi, dr. Finn. Fancy meeting you here. Yeah. Okay, well, I’ll see you around. Ava, wait. Something on your mind?

I will follow your lead. Thank you. But just so we’re clear, you know, there’s nothing I would love more than for you to have a rich, full relationship with my daughter. Oh, yes. Me, too. So much. I just got to hold — hold myself back. Because I think it would hurt, really, if… if what? You know. If we don’t last. Sonny… I love you. You make me so happy. I love spending time with you. But even you have to admit that the cards are stacked against us. The only thing I’m gonna admit is that I’m falling in love with you a little more every single day. And I don’t care what anybody thinks. I see a future with you. And my family. Because you are… part of that family. And if I haven’t — if I haven’t made it clear… …I’m in this for the long haul. Me, too. Can we just maybe talk about this together? I can’t believe you had spinelli run the algorithm on us in the first place, and you did it behind my back, and you extorted spinelli into doing it! Which one of those sounds like something a decent person would do? Here’s the thing, Austin. Anyone who’s “meant to be with me” would never do that to someone I care about.

[ Door opens ] So, zelda? Is she your partner or…? Oh, my god. She’s just a front, right? There is no personalized matchmaking. No wonder you got it so wrong with me and cody. If ever there was an understatement. Maxie, will you wait? Maxie, are you okay? I’m fine. I’m leaving. I’m going with you. Damn right you are. Hey. Hey. Any advice? Wish I had more to offer than “too bad, so sad,” but… pretty much covers it all? Mm-hmm. I have to believe that finn wouldn’t betray me the same way that I supposedly betrayed him. But after this whole baby matter is settled, he’ll have no reason to stay silent, and ava is going to find out about our supposed affair. No. Oh, no, we are so close to reconciling. That can’t happen. No, there — there has to be a way that we can see through this and — and…

[ Sighs ] And what? You said it yourself. Sacrifices have to be made. Now, can you really keep this up with esme and reconcile with ava at the same time? Just, uh… have a good night. That’s all. Your birth mother is dead? Wow, I’m really sorry to hear that. But, you know, you have all the family you need right here with michael and wiley, me, drew, and even the quartermaines. Thank you. I should, um… I should go. But I will see you both soon, okay? And, drew… thank you. She’s taking it really hard. I didn’t realize how important it was for willow to find her birth parents. Neither did I.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Well, thanks for dinner. I’ve never had Ethiopian before. What was that? That marinated minced beef stuff. That was Marin the chili powder. S marinated. Yes. Oh God, I’m so good. And then there was spongy like sour flatbread thing the way wrapped it up in it’s called inna. Yes, both of them. So good. Well, I’m glad to expand your horizon, huh?

It’s the least I could do.

I’m sorry. I, I came over here to sell up my attorney’s fees and I ended up talking area off about Nicole. I don’t mind really. I promise. I mean, breakups are rough. Plus it sounds like you really loved her. Yeah. Did She’s, um, certainly already moved. Just shacking up with her ex, her other ex-husband.

We left the bloody doors open.

Woo. I finally got Holly to bed. Only took two and a half stories. . Well, I hope she doesn’t find it too difficult to fall asleep in an unfamiliar. Well, you know, I think she’s has some fond memories here when she was living with Chloe and Stephan, so I think it’ll be an easy transition. Thank you again so much for doing this.

Oh, you’re more than welcome, Katherine. Night cut. . I thought she’d never ask.

I can’t get it fast enough.

So, how was your day? Well, I um, woo. What’s going on in here? Hmm. I got here just this room, Michelle, with the stage of sin in

it was Xander who kidnapped Susan. And Bonnie Lockhart. God, I hope no one can hear you. This is all top secret. So why are you telling me I have no choice tonight? Bonnie found out that Xander’s the culprit and I really need you to help me get her off his scent.

Xander Zander. Wake up. Oh, stander. What’s going on? Where are we? You tell. Would I go, come, I know you’re the clown. Me pull

like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

It is just not like her Rafe to disappear like this and, and not tell me where she is. Okay, thanks. I’ll see you soon. Rapes on his way. Okay. So Maggie and Sonny went down to the garden shed. Yeah. Although I highly doubt that Bonnie would wanna revisit the crime scene. Yeah, I talked that too. And Mimi, you said you were gonna call her.

She hasn’t heard from her mom either. Why am I getting a sickening sense of dejavu? Honey, I already told you many times I, I’m not the one who kidnapped you and Susie. Yes you are. I had your ass dead to rise. And I was about to tell Justin when somebody knocked me out from behind. Was it one of your coconut conspirators?

Oh, of course. No. Sure. Can’t be even Vitale because she did a film in Louise with Susan Banks trapped inside the car with her. Oh, tell me who are you in cahoots with now? Huh?

I’m sorry you had to come in through the back, but honestly it it’s best that nobody sees. You heard that week who often, so what do you need me to do? Okay, well, Knocking out Bonnie was really only a temporary fix. Um, soon she’s gonna wake up and she’s gonna go blab to the police about Zander. So I came up with a brilliant genius idea of making it look like Zander is also the one who’s kidnapped.

They’re both currently tied up in a warehouse that is truly inspired. Miss Busybody, how do I fit into this? Right? Well, Bonnie needs to see that Zander and the clown are two different people. So you my dear darling, lovely friend, I need you to give me your best rendition of sending the clowns,

okay? So let me try to get this straight right within a matter of weeks. Nicole was married to the commission, got back together with you, and is now possibly hooking up with the Town Mobile. Sounds about. I mean, is this typical of her? Like, seems so fickle? Well, when she and I were married, she was fighting her attraction for Reef and she had a one night stand with Xander Cook.

So yeah, Nicole, let’s swell part for the.

Hi Mary. I, I mean, sister, uh, Nicole and I were merely sharing a nightcap. And you do think that’s a problem? No, I don’t. We are laying your poor mother to rest tomorrow. And here you are canoeing on the chauffeur, drinking the devil’s juice with a woman who is not your wife. No, but she used to be, uh, excuse me.

Could you two stop talking about me like I’m not. And again, maybe I go No, you’ll do new such thing. Nicole. This is my mother’s sister, sister Mary, my I exactly who she is. Mm-hmm. . Yes. She’s the Godless, slipping him up. Love her sister’s bed.

Nicole is my invited guest, as are you, and if you wish to remain so I suggest you apologize to her post-haste. Hey, apologize to her. Okay. I’m leaving. No, you are not.

Well.

I’m sorry,

youre Godless Trace sister. You are the Jebel who lured father Eric Brady out of the first two. And how did you repay him,

which caused the sacred union to end in divorce.

She

want another. Okay. Um, you know, actually I should, I should probably, I

do. You seem kind of reluctant.

You know, to be honest, I’m not really looking forward to going home. My not. Much a welcoming party right now.

Yeah. Jada, she, uh, lives right down the hall from me. Right. It’s not exactly very easy not running into her without being reminded of what she’s done. I know it’s, it’s not fair, and I know that it was, I should respect her.

That you thought to stop doing that? Doing what? Denying yourself of your feelings. I mean, you are entitled to be angry or sad or, or both about this abortion. I mean, especially if she told you she was gonna keep the baby. I just wish you would’ve told me she changed her mind. I know it’s not fair. It’s her.

It’s not about Jada. Actually, I’m not mad at her. It’s, it’s Nicole. I mean, why couldn’t you just keep her mouth shut? And I don’t wanna take my anger out on Jada, and I’m afraid if I go home tonight, I just, I might do that. If I see her and

I’ve got a solution. Don’t go home.

Just stay here instead.

So Bonnie is still not answering your phone and, and once I found her scarf in the park, Look, I know Ava is dead. Yeah, but her minion’s still on the loose. The guy in the clown mask. Yeah, exactly. Listen, I understand your concern. My problem is Bonnie’s only been missing for what, a couple hours now. So I can’t declare her a missing person, but I will tell my officers to keep an eye on and, uh, so I’ll put out an alert.

In fact, let me step outside. I’ll put in that call right now. Okay, good. Thanks. Okay.

So and mad, you didn’t find any signs of Bonnie at the shed? They left. They’re taking a drive to check out some of her favorite spots. It’s a good idea. Where are you going? I can’t just sit here and wait. Don’t do the same thing. I’m with anyone. Then who the hell knocked me over the head? It was a kidnapper.

Of course. That is impossible because you are the. How my title next to you, Bonnie? I don’t know. You’re working with him or you did it yourself. This is just nonsense. Listen Bonnie, you’re about to answer Justin’s call when suddenly this muscle band cla in a blue suit, came outta nowhere and knocked his boat out.

I put up a fight, but he was strong as hell and you got the best of me. All right. And you look kind of beat up exactly. And the next thing I know of her, I wake up tied to this chair and, oh, Bonnie, you have to believe me.

You want me to pretend to be the clown of the kidnapped Bonnie? Yes, and you’ll be absolutely brilliant. Matt, you are a world class impersonator. You are. Um, um, miss Peggy is just cracking. That’s true, but I hate clown. Mother sent me to clown school when I was a child. I was exceedingly talented, but all the other young clowns were a bunch of bitches and they hated on me.

I vow, I would never again dom that sacred red nose. Right? Well, technically this is a mask and also I do have a job now, so I can pay you handsomely.

I am financially challenged at the moment, as you know. I won’t accept anything less than $300 deal. I was gonna pay you double. Ah dammit. Okay, hurry. You need to make your grand entrance. Oh, there’s just one problem. I’m no stranger to the gym, but I am not as pumped up as your ex boy toy. I’m more lean muscle, not to mention I stand a few inches shorter.

There is no way Bonnie’s gonna believe I was the OG clown. Don’t worry, I’ve already thought of that and this is gonna be an absolute slam dunk. I assure you.

Justin, what brings you by? Um, thanks. Um, I don’t suppose you heard from Bonnie. She’s not home yet. No. Your mother told me about what happened at the pub, how she freaked out and took off, and I thought since you were there, you might have some idea about where she went. I don’t. Sorry. She said that she needed some air.

I think she was embarrassed about attacking Roman. Maybe she just wanted to be alone for a little while. Yeah, well I thought so, but then I found her scarf at the park and there was no sign of her anywhere. So I called Rave to look into it, and I may be overreacting, but. After what happened to her last time?

I just, yeah, Justin, I’m so sorry. I mean, I, I can kind of relate because Xander went for a run a really long time ago, and now he’s not answering his phone and I’m, I’m sure it’s probably just a coincidence, but. But what? Just say it, Sarah.

I don’t wanna be disloyal to my husband. Sarah, please. Whatever it is. I mean, if you can help us to find Bonnie.

There was a moment where I thought, Maybe Xander was the clown that kidnap Bonnie.

I don’t know, man. You and the clown are the same height, same build. I’ve been in that shed, Bonnie. It’s, it’s pretty dark. Well, you admitted to Sarah and the others, so you’re terrible at describing people. Okay. I said that. I mean tonight you said the same phrase that clown said not once, but twice. Andrew uncommon phrases Bonnie has already pointed out is it’s just a coincidence.

Okay, fine, but how about this for a coincidence? The minute I accuse you of being that clown, he all of a sudden just shows up out of nowhere, may maybe he was following you. Why would he do that? He’s probably worried that you can ID him. You don’t know that. And Susan are both gone. You’re the last Luc end and that’s, how am I?

All right. You talk. I’m buying it, man. My God is telling me that you are the creepy clown. Who are you calling? Cur.

Hey, Alex Ray. Hey. Any update on. Hmm. Afraid not. Where’s your dad? He went to go look for her. Ah, I’m staying back here in case he returns. Okay, great. I’m gonna head back to the station. Just, uh, let me know if there’s any news. Okay. All right. I’ll wait a second. Re um, before you go, I just wanna apologize for what it was.

My idea to put Eric in the Nicole in the cover of Bella, they were resistant to it at first and. I practically forced it on them. Hmm. I see. Had I heard about you and Nicole splitting up if I caused any problems for your marriage at all? Man, I am truly sorry. No, no, no, no. Nothing to be sorry for. You know, in fact, you may have bought the situation to a head.

So yeah, as, as painful as it’s been, it’s uh, for the best. Wow. Okay, then. Well, thank you for being so cool about it. I’m unlike Eric Brady. Oh, yeah. What does that mean? Oh my God, the guy’s been a complete jerk. He just blew up on me the the other day, just because I suggested that he and Nicole do another.

Well, uh, I did hear they had a pretty major fight. Oh, well that explains it. Are you good now? I don’t know. And, uh, to be honest, couldn’t care less. Sister. I’m not kicking Nicole out. She’s a friend of mine and she’s in a bind one. Luckily she calls down her own. She’s a corruptor of souls. Well, I’m not exactly a saint either.

And the same can be said ej. It’s, it’s okay. You don’t have to defend me. And you’re right, sister. I am a sinful person. The Corruptor agree and I’m worse than you think. I did commit adultery and I’ve been divorced, and now I’m getting another divorce. You know why? Because I was lusting after another man.

Oh my word. Oh, the devil. Stronger in you than I thought. Yes, he’s, I left my husband so that I could reunite. With Father Eric Brady. But don’t you worry. Don’t you worry St. Eric and I are not getting back together. He ended things because I talked his girlfriend into getting an abortion. An abortion.

Joseph, and thanks to me, Eric will no longer be a father in any sense of the word. What do you think about that sister? Huh? I

thank you. For the offer. I, I can’t impose. We only met this morning. Yeah. But it feels like we’ve known each other much longer. I mean, I’d welcome the company, especially if I’m such a charming guy. I don’t know how charming I’ve been seeing that. I’ve been complaining about my life all day. Besides, how do you know I’m not a serial killer?

You’re Brady. Your family Sterling reputation proceeds? No. You obviously haven’t met my twin sister, Sammy. Mm. Or my cousin Teresa. And don’t forget, you and I only met because I was in jail for assault. I’ve been around my fair share of dangerous men, and I don’t really feel like my life’s in danger around you.

Oh, I’m the bad way. Anyway. Look, do what you want, really. I mean, the place is yours if you want. Not exactly the Dira Mansion, but I can promise you you’re not gonna run into any Xes here. That’s a big plus. Just one caveat though, we would have to share the bad. I mean, nothing sexual has to happen. Of course.

I certainly wouldn’t mind it.

Oh my God. It’s true. Someone else is the clown. I told you. Who are you? You freak. Tell me your name. I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you. Although to be. I’m gonna kill you anyway. No, don’t get away from me. Don’t, don’t touch me. I’m wanting you clown Julie. One finger on my mate’s wife and you’ll have me to answer to.

I’m cranking in my boots. You’re all tied up. Your big A I’m gonna finish. You can do about it.

Nothing yet. Come on, Matthew. I hope we can pull this off. Where exactly did you get this? It was part of, uh, Doug and Judy’s costumes from this last Halloween. Ooh, I’m digging these platforms. Are they my size? It doesn’t matter. You’ll squeeze your feet into them, won’t you? Now get the suit on. Get the shoes on.

You’ll be good to go.

God, I hope this works. Better. Be careful. Don’t worry. Bonnie, this creepy clown is gun down.

Please answer to you. No, it’s all a popup. Who the hell would it be? Dumb off. Can’t believe you. And Gwen really pulled this off. I think it’s really working. I know I’ve never felt so butch in my entire life not to be a service. Time for the grand finale. You know what to do.

Alexander, are you okay?

Fuck you messed with the wrong family clown. And now you’re gonna pay for what you did to put a Get him. Get him. Knock him out. Hell yeah. You’re not too strong for me. A big

go. Go get him. Don’t let him get away. Go, go.

All those little coincidences, like the blue suit that started to add up, that made me suspicious. But then I looked up Sanders’s company and it’s legit rednecks. Yeah, it has a website and everything. So I realized that. You know, he couldn’t have been working for Ava after all. Hmm. Well that’s interesting because I offered to bring legal action against rednecks on Xander’s behalf to sue them for wrongful termination.

What’d he say? He was adamant I shouldn’t do it. Maybe he just didn’t wanna get tangled up in a legal battle. Well, he wouldn’t even give me his boss’s. Maybe that’s because he really was working for Ava Vitali. We’re jumping to conclusions. No, no, no. It’s just like you said, it’s just another strange coincidence that both Bonnie and Zander are Mia a you know what I, I shouldn’t have said anything, Sarah.

Just to be on the safe side, can you come with me and tell your theory to Rafe, what. No. What if I’m wrong? I don’t wanna get Xander in trouble, but what if you’re right? You could be saving Bonnie’s life, Justin, even if it was Xander, he would never hurt Bonnie. If Xander really is behind this, then we don’t know what he’s capable of.

Sarah, please. I’m begging.

Okay. Yeah. And maybe in the end this will prove Sanders’s innocence.

You came back. What happened? Bastard got away. I’m so sorry. Oh, please don’t be you. Save my life. Let’s get you home to Justin. Thank you. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. Oh God. I’m so, so sorry for accusing you of being my kidnapper when you were telling the truth all the month. I was totally, totally wrong about you.

I’m sorry.

Mrs. Kiki is a blonde now to Brunett. You got the wrong woman. Thanks. So nothing still? No. Sorry to get your hopes up, grace. I was hoping you’d still be here. Can you sign up, Bonnie? No, not you have, but we’re still searching. Okay. Look, uh, Sarah, I might have some information that could be. Okay, what’s up? Uh, um, well just, just remember that this is probably a long shot and might be totally off base.

Okay. We’re open to anything at this point. So what is it?

Right under the covers, just waiting for you to warm. Are you okay? No, I think that beer’s kind of settling in right now. You are such a lightweight Oh, my , which is very cute, by the way. Well, I haven’t been much of a drinker for years now. You’ve been through a lot lightly. I, I think a drinker too is an order, ah, you know what?

Enough about me. What’s going on with? Amy with Pauline and her daughter. I think you pretty much heard the gist of it. Yeah. I heard that’s been pretty hard for you to carry all the anger and resentment with your parents’ death. Yeah, it was.

I know earlier today you said that our situations. Pretty different, but in some ways they’re actually quite similar. You know, I’m like, we’ve both been wronged by these people who keep excusing their actions and telling us that they’re justified and, and we’re not supposed to be upset about it. I’m sorry.

I let it go sometimes. Why should we need to, I say, screw it. You know, I’m entitled to be. And so are you?

Well, my aunt took to her bed. . You really rattled her? Yeah. Well I thought she was gonna burst out in tongues. , I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I. never gone off on her like that. There’s nothing to apologize for. She treated you terribly. Oh, she did just lose her sister. Grief is no excuse for bad behavior, but I must say you, uh, you’d handled that swimmingly.

It was nice to see that side of you again. Oh, really? Mm-hmm. , you enjoyed seeing? Shock your aunt with my laundry list of sins. What I enjoyed was seeing you fight back and stand out for yourself. You’ve reminded me of the, uh, fierce take no prisoners. Nicole Walker, I first fell in love with.

So what’s your theory? What Justin and I were comparing notes. We realized that it, it could be possible. Justin. Hi. Oh my God. Oh my God. That is so, oh God, me, I am now, now that I’m home. You baby.

You didn’t have anything to do with this, did you? He did. He happened to be there. Why that guy attack me and he saved me. Did I understand my life?

Come on. What’s taking me so long? Where are you, Mattie? Alright, Beverly G. Bloody. Hello. I guess I do remember a thing or two from clown school. Oh, for God sake. Nevermind that. How did it go? Ah, it was so much more exhilarating than I imagined wrestling with Xander, getting manhandled by him. I’m not talking about that.

You bloody nutter. I’m saying Bonnie. Bonnie, how’d it go with her? Did she buy it? Oh, you doggone better belief. She did. Our plan, worked like a charm.

And then Xander used just superhuman strength to break free. And then he went after that guy and then they got into this huge brawl. But that, that clown was no match for him. He was so brave. I mean, it was nothing really nothing. It was like a UFC fight only. I couldn’t enjoy it because I thought I was gonna be dead any minute.

Well, we’re happy that you’re alive and will, and most importantly, you are homesick. Yeah. Amen to that. Well, it’s all because of that amazing stud. That stupid clown was no match for him. Uh, where’s this clown? Oh, nice to get away the coward. Okay. Well, did the clown have any distinguishable features? Uh, tattoo, like anything we could use to identify him?

I didn’t even look. Nothing I can think of. So we still don’t know who this maniac is. I’ll make sure to have the whole squad on alert. I mean, I think he was just one of Eva’s old mob contacts. You know, he just seemed like your typical low level henchman for whoever he was. He was determined to kill me.

And you, Xander saved my life. You’re a real hero. Oh God.

My aunt will be departing to her own a boat once this funeral is over, so you don’t have to worry about her for too much longer. You don’t have to kick her out on my account. Well, it’s not just for you, frankly. I’d send her on a way sooner, but she’s my mother’s sister. I am just so sorry that she treated you so belligerently.

Honestly, it wasn’t that big of a deal. It’s just after the day I had, it was the last straw. I’m so sorry that you had such a bad day.

Just Eric and I run into each other and we went at it again. I will spare you all the gory details, but suffice it to say our relationship is over once and for all. I’ve heard that before, . I know, but believe me, there’s no going back for us. Eric and I are done for good,

allowing myself to be angry. It’s something I’m used to just kind of taking the high road and more accepting and forgiving, you know? Mm-hmm. . Well, you definitely give up. Good guy, vibe. I’m surprised you don’t have a big S branded into your chest. . Are you always like this? Well, if you recall earlier, I reminded you about my twin sister, who’s always been the troublemaker.

Mm-hmm. . I guess in some ways it’s just kind of navigated me in the opposite direction. Yeah. So you were kind of forced into the good role of the twin group . I went as far as even becoming a priest. , no. Hey. No laughing. I You get out of here. I did. Oh God. Just didn’t work out.

But despite my honorable good efforts, you know, and I’ve just kind of been somewhat in shambles, have you ever just thought about not trying to be so perfect all the time and maybe giving into your impulses for once? Oh, like helping you finish up that six pack of beer earlier? Yeah, that’s a start.

Listen, I really appreciate your encouragement, but it’s just, I’m so sure it’s in my nature. Well, you should really give it a try, please. He just forget about everyone. Do what you want.

Well, as eventful as this evening has been, I should get going. So I’ll, um, I’ll see you soon. Nicole, before you go,

I would say that I’m sorry about you and Eric, but I’m not, I never thought you two were a good match.

Instead of appreciating who you are, Eric, just stifled your fire and your your spirit. You’re better off with a, you’re better off being just your. Spirited Firey self.

I’m not taking advantage of you and hearing me here. Stay. Am I.

I’m thinking very clearly, this is what I want. This is what I,

sorry to waste your time. No, it wasn’t a waste of time at all. Especially if this can lead us to finding this joker. I’m gonna head to the warehouse and look for clues. I’ll be in touch. All right, thank you. I’ll walk you out. Okay. Thank you

sweetheart. I’m so sorry you had to go through this again. So am I. Now on, on. I am not letting you out of my sight. Well, that won’t be a problem. Why is. That’s because I don’t ever plan to step foot out of this house ever again. At least not until that evil clown is caught.

Um, 300 theft. I hope you find that sufficient. I hate taking money from my bff, but I do need to eat. Thanks, QUni. The next time you need to stage a fake kidnapping, you know who to call. By the way, do you mind if we keep this muscle suit gearing up for next Halloween? Are we? Mm. That and it might actually help me get a few days, you think.

Go on, take it, consider it a bonus for a job. Well done. Thanks. You really went above and beyond for your ex tonight. I hope he appreciates it. Yeah, I’m just really glad he’s not behind bars. Honey, not only did he avoid prison, he went from being the number one suspect to town hero over. He really owes you.

I hope you find some way to collect.

Oh, what was that for? Well, it’s like Bonnie said. You are a real hero tonight, which makes me feel even more terrible about my unfair accusation. I, I, I have to admit, when I didn’t know where you were, nevermind poison, you can tell me. I, I guess I should, I, I don’t want there to be secrets between us. Um.

Justin and I for a minute thought that maybe you were the clown that kidnapped Bonnie and we almost sold Ra Sarah. I know, I know. It’s really stupid and it was disloyal and I just, I feel really, really bad about it. You’ve been working so hard to turn things around for yourself and, and I’m so sorry and I hope that you could forgive me.

Of course I can. I, you know, we won’t make mistakes. Love you so much.

So now I am going to go run my strong hero, a nice warm bath because I bet you need to relax after the night that you have had. Yeah, love.

[ Relaxing music ]

Finn: I mean, sheila’s here because of me. I’m the one who brought her back into your life.

Steffy: None of this is your fault, finn.

Finn: Look, I– I vowed to protect you and the kids. Our family. And instead, I put you at risk. Sheila was in this restaurant. You two were face-to-face.

Steffy: All this time, we thought she was dead. Sheila’s alive.

Steffy: Mom, I feel bad. Oh, my– oh, my gosh. I am so sorry. I–

Sheila: No, no, no, no.

Steffy: No, let me just see. I just wanna check. I feel terrible. I’m so sor–

[ Steffy gasping ] Sheila!

[ Sheila sighing ]

Hope: So, sales just posted our latest numbers.

Brooke: I saw. Congratulations, honey.

Hope: Thank you. I still need to go over them with production though.

Brooke: Oh, I’ll do that for you, if you need me to.

Hope: Are you sure?

Brooke: Yeah. I need to stay busy. I wanna work, especially now that ridge is gone. You know, there’s only so much christmas shopping I can do.

Hope: Okay, true. And there is a lot to do here. I mean, our collection is blowing up.

Brooke: You should be very proud. It’s st a little bittersweet, given that thomas was a huge part of that success. And knowing that he was just trying to sabotage your marriage just…

Brooke: Honey, honey. You need to enjoy your achievement, okay? Thomas is keeping his distance. Douglas is back home where he belongs, with you, liam and beth, and it’s the holidays.

Hope: Mom, I know, it’s just, I find it a little hard to relax knowing that sheila carter could still be out there somewhere.

Brooke: So, you’re thinking about sheila too.

Hope: I just– I keep hoping that finn and steffy are wrong. I mean, sheila, she can’t be alive. I mean, how is that even possible, but what if it is true?

Brooke: It is a disturbing thought, but we all know what sheila is capable of. And I hate to say it, but finn and steffy, they are right to be worried.

Steffy: Finn, I know you wanna take this on yourself, but you’re one of sheila’s victims too.

Paul: Hey, guys. I just heard about the bump in. I’m gonna let everyone know to keep an eye out, okay?

Finn: Thank you. Deacon is going through the security footage to see if it was caught on camera.

Baker: All right. You can tape this right here at this table. Tape that table off there. No questions. Ah, dr. Finnegan, ms. Forrester. I’m glad the both of you are here. I need to get your statements before we talk to the staff.

Finn: Thank you for coming.

Baker: Of course. I wanna get to the bottom of this as bad as you do. So, tell me what happened.

Steffy: I saw sheila carter here in this restaurant.

[ Phone ringing ]

Deacon: Come on, pick up.

[ Phone ringing ]

Sheila: Why are you calling me again? I told you not to worry about me.

Deacon: Well, you know, I’d love not to worry, except I’m looking at the security footage and I’m worried as hell.

Sheila: You just– you just need to stay out of this.

Deacon: That’d be great, except your super smart son and his wife put me on the job.

Sheila: Wait, so you’re working for them? But you’re calling me?

Deacon: Nobody knows I have this burner phone. Listen to me. This is important. Sheila, when you ran into steffy, it was– it was in the hallway, right outside the bathroom.

Sheila: Yes.

Deacon: And nobody else was there?

[ Sheila sighing ]

Sheila: I don’t know. I don’t think so.

Deacon: Hold on, hold on. I think I found it. Yeah, caught on camera.

Sheila: Can you see my face?

Deacon: Well, you’re wearing that stupid disguise, but yeah.

Sheila: You need to get rid of it.

Deacon: What?

Sheila: Steffy, finn, no one can see that footage, deacon. Just delete it. Now! Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

Brooke: If finn is right and sheila’s alive, the police will confirm it.

Hope: Oh, so then what? They open her case and start looking for her again?

Brooke: If they haven’t already.

[ Hope sighing ]

Hope: Just, finn and steffy have already been through so much. I mean, sheila tried to kill both of them. This must be theirBrooke: Yes. It is a very stressful situation for all of us. But, we can’t let the fear set in.

Hope: Are you nervous about staying home alone in the house without ridge?

Brooke: No, I’m not nervous.

Hope: ‘Cause it’s just I– I have noticed you have been coming into the office a lot lately.

Brooke: Well, yeah. I mean, there’s a lot of work to do around here, especially since ridge is gone. And if sheila is on the loose, we’re gonna have to step in a lot more and help steffy out.

Hope: And we will. It’s just… I want you to be open about your feelings, mom. I mean, be honest. How do you really feel about ridge? I mean, what are you going to do when he gets back?

Baker: The forensics team is examining the evidence again. They’re looking into your theory.

Steffy: It’s more than a theory. Sheila carter is alive. She was here.

Baker: The woman that you ran into outside of the restroom.

Steffy: Yes, yes. I didn’t recognize her at first. She was like in some kind of disguise. I looked up at her and her hair and her face, it was… it was different, but there was something so… familiar about her and that’s when we locked eyes and my– my blood went cold. And that when I said– I said, “sheila.” Sheila. Oh, my god. Sheila. I was stunned. I looked away for a second and she was gone. I was so shocked, I just– I just stood there.

Baker: You didn’t follow her?

Finn: No. We know what happened last time my wife followed sheila into an alley.

Steffy: It was sheila.

Baker: Okay, this definitely requires further investigation.

Steffy: Of course it does.

Finn: Deacon sharpe, he’s going through the restaurant security footage right now. Hopefully, she’ll be on camera.

Sheila: You have to erase it. No one else can see that footage.

Deacon: How the hell am i supposed to explain erasing it?

Sheila: You’re just gonna delete it. You’re gonna do it. Do it now, deacon.

[ Deacon panting ]

Deacon: Okay, okay, it’s done, all right? It’s done.

Sheila: Oh. I owe you so much. You gave me A… a place to stay and you never treated me like I was a monster. I am moving on. I’m– I’m never going to bother you again.

Deacon: Sheila– sheila, listen to me. You can’t run, all right? I mean, finn and steffy already called the cops. They’re certain it’s you. They know you’re in L.A.

Sheila: Well, thanks to you, they’re not gonna know who they’re looking for.

Deacon: Sheila, running is not the answer. If you do, you’re gonna wind up in prison and they’re just gonna add more years to your sentence. Just listen to me. You– you gotta turn yourself in. You gotta throw yourself in the mercy of the court. Maybe you’ll see daylight before you’re too old to enjoy it. Sheila, please. You know that this is the only way.

Sheila: No, I’ve told you. There’s always a way out. Goodbye, deacon.

Deacon: Sheila. Sheila, hello?

[ Phone beeping ]

[ Sheila sighing ] Bye, bye cough.

Steffy: I’m telling you, it was her. Her reaction was unmistakable when I said her name. Sheila carter was closer to me than

Finn: She can’t get away again.

Baker: All right. Let’s check out the footage. If we get a decent image and forensics confirms that it’s her, then I can send it out to the airports and bus stations.

Steffy: Okay.

Finn: You need to warn them that she’s armed. I don’t want her to hurt anyone else. We need to catch her and put her away once and for all.

Hope: Well, it’s just, you haven’t said much about ridge since he left, so I was just wondering if you’d heard from him.

Brooke: Ridge is just taking much needed time to process everything that has happened. Make some decisions about what he wants for his life, his future.

Hope: It’s yours, too. I mean, aren’t you a part of that decision?

Brooke: Honey, I love him. I want to be with him, but I told ridge I can’t do this back and forth thing anymore. This tug of war. If he wants to be with me, he needs to be completely committed to me. Nobody else.

Hope: Well, I am, uh, glad to hear you say that because that is what you deserve.

Brooke: Yeah, well. Took me a long time to figure that out.

Hope: Well look, mom. I don’t want to bring up anything that’s painful and you know, I’m really sorry that this is what your relationship with ridge has become. You know him not being able to make up his mind once again, but I’m just saying, there is a man who is here who I know would give anything to be with you, who loves you unconditionally and who just happens to be my dad.

[ Brooke laughing ]

Brooke: Honey.

[ Deacon sighing ]

[ Computer pinging ]

[ Deacon sighing ]

[ Knocking on door ]

Steffy: Deacon, what did you find?

Deacon: So, chief baker, you think sheila is alive too?

Baker: Oh, just checking a theory. Due diligence. You were looking over the security?

Deacon: Yeah, what there is of it.

Baker: Did you happen to see the woman that steffy bumped in to?

Deacon: I’ve been through this three times. I didn’t see anything.

Steffy: Nothing? Nothing.

Deacon: Look, sometimes, the wi-fi, it… it, you know, it goes out. I mean, there’s gaps and stuff. I think that’s what happened here. I didn’t see that woman or sheila or whoever it was.

Steffy: What? I– I saw her. I saw her. I don’t care if she was on the video or not, sheila carter was there. Chief baker, you have to do something. She can’t escape this time. My family was nearly destroyed because of her. She tried to kill me. She held my husband hostage, my family, my children were traumatized and heartbroken. She needs to pay for her crimes.

[ Knocking on door ]

Deacon: Please don’t let it be sheila, please don’t let it be sheila. Hey, paul. Come on in.

Paul: Hey, man. You all right? Why’d you take off? Are you– are you packing?

Deacon: Uh, yeah. I was actually gonna talk to you about that.

Paul: Well, what’s going on? Where are you going?

Deacon: Um, you know how the owners are always talking about maybe selling il giardino?

Paul: Yeah, sure. Anthony’s wanted to retire for awhile.

Deacon: Right. You know, he says if he can find the right person. Well, he thinks I might be the right guy.

Paul: You run il giardino?

Deacon: It could be a hell of an opportunity.

Paul: Well, then why are you leaving?

Deacon: Well, I gotta get some funding together. Uh, I gotta go overseas, italy. My– my P.O., He actually signed off on it. Look, if– if I could just get some backers together, I think I could actually make my dream of turning il giardino into deacon’s place a reality.

Paul: Deacon’s place, huh?

Deacon: That’s got a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?

Paul: Yeah, but–

Deacon: No, no, hey. Don’t worry. I’m gonna keep everybody on.

Paul: Okay.

Deacon: But uh, if this is gonna happen, I can’t wait.

Paul: Wait, so you’re gonna leave like right now, today?

Deacon: Yeah. I think getting out of here asap is the smartest thing I can do.

Hope: Look, I’m not trying to force dad on you the way steffy and thomas were trying to put their parents back together.

Brooke: Good. Because that doesn’t end well for anybody.

[ Hope laughing ]

Hope: But mom, I just– I trust you to do what’s right for you. You know, you follow your heart and I respect that. I’m just saying, ridge isn’t the only man out there. And dad, I know, loves you a lot. More than he probably says.

Brooke: Deacon’s never been one to hide his feelings.

Hope: Look, I’m not saying you need a man in your life, I just– I just want you to be happy and I love you. Okay?

Brooke: Thank you, honey. I love you too.

Steffy: I called amelia. We’re gonna add some more security to the house.

Brooke: What’s going on?

Steffy: Um… sheila. She’s here. In L.A.

Brooke: What?

Finn: Steffy ran into her at il giardino.

Steffy: Literally. I spilled my drink on her. To attack you?

Steffy: No, no. When i realized who she was, she ran off. She was like in this disguise. And if she wasn’t wearing open-toed sandals, I wouldn’t have looked at her twice.

Hope: But because her missing toe–

Steffy: Yes. That’s what gave it away.

Finn: I just wish I would’ve followed my instincts sooner.

Steffy: Hey, you got chief baker to believe me. You convinced him that sheila’s death was a lie. You vowed to protect us and you did.

Finn: Well, they have to find her soon because every moment she’s out there, my family’s in danger. We need to protect each other, all right? And our children. Because this threat is still very much alive.

Sheila: I’m not going back to prison. I’m never going back there again. I won’t be hiding that long. I’ll be a free woman again. That day is coming. Soon.

Update written by Barbara

At Newman Media, Victoria and Nate discuss their upcoming business trip to Los Angeles. When he mentions that Elena is going to see if she can get time off from work and join him, Victoria is taken aback. She doesn’t understand why he would bring Elena with him on a short business trip to Los Angeles. She says that they’re only going to be there one day, with non stop meetings. While they’re discussing this, Nate gets a text from Elena letting him know that she can’t join him on the trip because a couple of doctors are out sick and she has to fill in for them.

Devon knocks on the partially open door to Nate’s office and walks in, interrupting his meeting with Victoria. When he says that he wants to speak to Nate alone, Nate counters that he and Victoria are in a business meeting. She says that they’ve covered everything they needed to and leaves.

Once Devon and Nate are alone, they get into a heated argument about Nate inquiring to Lily and then Imani about what happened between Devon and Amanda. Devon lets Nate know in no uncertain terms that what happened between him and Amanda is none of Nate’s business.

Nate defends his call to Imani by saying that he wanted to find out how Naya was and was naturally curious about what happened with Amanda that resulted in her leaving Genoa City permanently and staying in Virginia. Nate tells Devon that he has a “holier than thou” attitude when he’s made his own mistakes.

Seeing as how Devon has jettisoned Nate from both his personal and professional lives, Nate tells him that he need not show up at his office anymore since they’re no longer family or colleagues. Devon storms out of Nate’s office, telling him one more time to mind his own business.

At Society, Daniel gets Lily to open up to him about what’s upsetting her. Reluctantly, she tells him about how Billy is helping a woman get through a difficult time in her life and she’s worried about the effect it’s having on him.

Billy is at Chelsea’s apartment, apologizing to Billy about what happened between them in Myanmar that led to Johnny’s conception. They discuss it in great detail and Chelsea tells him about her regrets. Billy mentions that what matters is that that Johnny is happy, healthy and striving.

Abby arrives at Devon’s penthouse with Dominic, both all bundled up after a cold day at the park. As she tells the baby that “Daddy Devon” told them to make themselves at home there, she has a flashback to having sex with Devon and talks to Dominic about being friends with Devon.

At Crimson Lights, Connor comes in and chats with Sharon and hints that he wants some hot chocolate. Shortly afterward, Johnny shows up. Sharon suggests that the boys find a table and she’ll bring their drinks over to them. Connor and Johnny talk and laugh about how strict their mothers can be as they continue to bond.

Chance is also at the coffeehouse and opens up to Sharon about his situation with Abby and the effect it might have on Dominic. Sharon assures him that kids are resilient and things will all work out.

She points over toward Johnny and Connor and comments about how well the boys are doing. Chance decides to go over there, sits down at the table with the boys and asks them to teach him how to play the game they’re engrossed in. The boys are more than happy to do that and start telling Chance what it’s about.

Over at Chelsea’s apartment, Billy tells her that he appreciates her apology. She says that she would never repeat what she did all those years ago if the same situation presented itself. He agrees and assures her that she’s not the same person she was all those years ago. He also tells her she’s incredibly brave for taking accepting responsibility for her actions and choices that she made what was a “lifetime ago.” He tells her that he acknowledges and appreciatse her making amends with him. She tells him that she is not going to forgive herself for what she forget or excuse behavior grateful for his kindness, it’s more than she deserves.
