THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 You were looking for me. Hmm? Me. Shut the door.

Um, what’s this about? Well, it’s about your sister Lee, the company Jet and the city of Jakarta in that order, I know what your sister’s been up to, Lee, and so do you, don’t you?

Thank you for coming. I’m sorry to tell you from work. That’s no problem. Stop for a lunch break. Anyway. My message may get some urgent. It is. It is. I have something to ask you about your brother.

Wait, so Ava caused a crash that killed your grandmother and she’s dead too. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, I, uh, she tried to get away, drove off the road with my grandmother in the backseat. Was it an accident? Uh, I, I don’t, I don’t know. You know, my dad, my dad seems to think that she crashed the car on purpose.

Oh my God. That’s,

VJ Damara, don’t let me ever hear you take the Lord’s name of van ever again. Did you hear me?

This is who you hired as your lawyer, Nicole, please. Oh, no, no, no. I recognize the name. My soon-to-be ex-husband is police Commissioner Ray Fernandez. So I’ve heard quite a bit about you. All good? I assume. Oh, well, I’m sorry that I can’t return the same sentiment you see my. Client here hasn’t exactly told me much about you yet.

From what I’ve gathered, you’re the reason why his girlfriend aborted their baby

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

Excuse me, but that is not true. What the hell, Eric Jada is the one who took your baby from you, not me, but yet when it’s out, blame Eve, right? Father? And other thing that surprises me is seeing you turn around and hire the serpent herself as your lawyer. Low life. You know, I find it curious, you casting aspersions when you yourself are in bed with Mr.

Loli.

My apologies sister. I didn’t know you were coming, seeing you after everything was, that was quite a shock that Aunt, sister, Mary, moreover, banks to you. Yes, of course. Damn. Are you gonna invite me in and tell me what Jesus’ name happened to my four sister or not?

Yeah. My, my dad, you know, he, he went after Ava for, for lying about her marriage to Jake defrauding the company for his shares. And I, I, I, I don’t know. She, she, she must have just lost it, so she was going down anyway. Might as well take someone with her. And punish your dad in the process. Right? Oh, Johnny, I feel so terrible for you and for Tripp to lose his mom in this way.

I, I can’t even imagine. And you, you lost your sweet grandmother. Oh, Johnny, I am so sorry.

Um, I, I’m not sure what, Getting out of found my sister, Stephanie.

Okay, we’ll do it that way.

You see, a couple of weeks ago I was gonna take Chloe on this romantic getaway. We’re gonna fly to Miami. So when I called to book the company, jet, you know the jet that’s reserved for execs of this company. The jet that literally has my name plastered on the side of it. Right. That one, it was unavailable out for servicing, supposedly.

Oh, how unfortunate. I know. So anyway, I was talking to one of our managers today and he happened to mention how that specific. Shouldn’t be due for servicing for at least another couple of months. So naturally, I did some digging. Turns out the Jet’s logs were hacked. Now your sister, she’s very good with computers, right?

I mean, that’s why we hired her. Anyway, the Jets logs reflected that that plane was out for servicing, when in fact it had been commandeered for a clandestine trip to Jakarta by your sister, and everyone here at Damara was none the wise.

To everyone except you, Lee,

Kathy, he seems so serious. Sorry, I was just a little, um, distracted about something earlier. Looking at something in the mail, but you know what? Forget it. Don’t worry about that. I am just excited about something and I hope you will be too excited about what, Wendy? Will you be my maid of honor?

Well, what are you saying? Um, well, we haven’t even really known each other that. I mean, don’t you have like a whole list of eager girlfriends just fighting for the top spot? Um, yeah. Um, you probably might not believe this, but I don’t really have many girlfriends. Right. Well, and so I’m not sure why you pivot to Lee.

Might I remind you, Lee, that I was. The day you realized your sister hadn’t shown up for work, you seem to be a little confused as to what happened, even maybe, dare I say, perturbed , if I recall correctly. Is this ringing any sort of bell up there in that head of yours? You chalked it up to her working remotely, either for her benefit or for mine, and then you left to check up on her, right?

Um, yes, I do remember that. Hmm. What must you have found when you checked up on Hurley? Because when I dug up the plane’s logs, Unaltered logs. Turns out at that very moment, the plane was already wing. Its way over to Indonesia, and here’s the kicker, every expense for that flight. Look at me. The fuel in flight, meals in flight entertainment was all signed off for by one Mr.

Lee Shin,

which tells me you knew your sister left town and you must have. Why she left, what the purpose was of her little jot on the company’s dime. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Here’s the truth.

I’m waiting. Okay. I did know about my sister’s Little John to Jakarta, but after the fact, and I do know why she. I also know who went with her.

Hello Ali. Johnny was just telling me the terrible news about his grandmother. Yeah, I, I know about it. Trip told me. Johnny, I’m so sorry. I wanted to tell you in person. It’s just there’s been so much going on. Thanks. Wait, how long have you known? I talked to Trip on than. So you’ve known since Thanksgiving and you didn’t say anything to me.

Chanel, you’ve been going through so much. You and your mom got arrested. I didn’t wanna pile on. Look, I’m sorry. I should have told you. I will never keep you out the loop again. Okay. Oh, sh Chanel, there’s nothing to could have done. Don’t blame Ally. All right. I know you’re right. Both of. It’s just like, it’s all been so overwhelming, like Allie said, and it just, it just seems like it never ends.

What do you mean just what’s going on now with Abe? Wait, what’s going on with him? It’s nothing like what Johnny and his dad are going through, but he’s bad.

I think someone needs a refresher in his manners. I thought you, my family guys, hey they Steph hammered into you Honor and all that. I’m a businessman, aunt, sister, Mary Mara, but all the same You are, right. Where are my manners? You’re very, very welcome here, I suppose I’m just still surprised to see. He’s surprised.

Isn’t that just facial? Well, lemme tell you what surprises me, hearing about the untimely loss of my poor sister in the kidnapping Gone wrong. No less from anyone except my own nephew. So tell me exactly where were you in a time of need chasing girls for money or both for your information? EJ is the reason you are walking free no matter what.

Clarice Darrow here has led you to believe I was with EJ when he called the DA to drop the charges. You’re welcome. It seems like you two have a, a lot still to work through, so I’m just gonna get out of here. No, no, no, don’t go. Nicole is leaving. You know, I have a business to conduct anyway, but, um, here’s my business card.

Settle my feet anytime that, uh, you’re available. My home address is on the back.

Let me stop you. I’m sure Mr. Ron is waiting. You know, how many times do I have to tell you I am not seeing e. I had no place to go. He offered me and Holly a place to land. And so you accepted without any hesitation,

you know, I don’t wanna get ahead of myself, but this could be a real opportunity for us. An opportunity for what? Exactly. To have a real relationship and. , I helped turn it into something very special. I, you probably don’t know this. I mean, why would you know this? But I, I had a sister named Ariana. Ha. Yeah.

Tragically she’s gone now. But I named my daughter after her. I wanted to honor her, but nothing can replace that bond that sisters can. It’s really special and soon you and I are gonna be sisters-in-law, but I’m hoping that in time we can make it feel like we’re real sisters and not just related by marriage.

That would be, that would be amazing. Yeah. Yeah. Amazing. I, I’ve had such a great feeling about you. I mean, the minute I met you, I just felt like I could trust you and, and that really means a lot to me. Okay. Please, please, Wendy, just say Yes, please. Gabby, there’s, there’s something you need to hear.

The truth about Wendy’s trip is that, um,

come on Lee, don’t stop now. Well, it was your nephew Johnny, who actually commandeered the jet when, why? Yes. Yes. It, um, it, it seems that Johnny and my sister, the two of them have well, um, Hit it off, shall we say. Hmm.

I see. And so I assume to impress her, he whispered her away on a little romantic getaway. Hmm. On dam mayor’s dime. Yes. Yes. And um, I’m right. Uh, as you said, I did sign off on the expenses. But after the fact, what else was I supposed to do? I’m not sure I’m catching the meaning here. Well, um, to put it bluntly, he’s the boss’s son,

but just because the city council is cowardly and trying to avoid a scandal doesn’t mean that Abe has to kneel, fallen his sword. Yeah. I mean, mayor carver’s a fighter, a damn good one, right? I mean, he’s. Through how many crises before he’s gonna get through this one. I hope you’re right. Both of you and I mean, sure.

The city council may be trying to avert a scandal, but there is only one true villain here. Sloan Peterson. What’s wrong with you? AJ’s mother died and yet he still found the time to call the DA and drop the charges. He did. For you, and yet you stand here in front of me making underhanded comments like some silly wounded school.

Boy, anyone know the worsts part? Is it you and this woman you just met? Confront me here and accuse me of killing your baby. Now, we talked about this and even you agreed that it was Jada’s choice about her own.

After everything that we’ve been through, I am devastated to see you behaving. Like what? Say it, Nicole. What?

You’re not the special man. I thought you were.

Believe me, I know EJ has history and a pretty ugly one compared to you these past few days. He’s a saint.

You know what? You right about ej? I’ll just keep my opinions to myself. We’ll see. And as for me, I am not a saint. I don’t deny that, but neither are you. And as Jay’s decision about the abortion, that is her choice. We do agree on that. But that little private chat that you had with her, how hard it is to be a mother and raising a child on her own.

God, would you listen to yourself, all these insults and accusations like I’m some fallen woman, because I took EJ up on a place to say when I had nowhere to go. Oh yeah. And of course it’s my fault that Jada got an abortion, even though it was her own choice. You are blaming me for things that I haven’t done and I am sick of it.

Yeah. Well, I’m so sorry that I am impossible to deal with because you know what? Your opinion doesn’t matter anymore.

You make it sound like we’re breaking up. Yeah. Well, we’d have to be together to break up. Lucky for you. We never made that mistake. No, I wasn’t chasing women or money in my mother’s hour of need, and I assure you I did everything I could to bring her home safely. But when you are dealing with a lunatic, that crazy woman grabbed my mother.

And backed outta her very own deal. All I hearing is excuses. Excuses, excuses, excuses. Next thing you’re gonna my

look,

I’m not trying to justify my failings, I’m just trying to give you the whole picture. And ask for forgiveness even when I truly don’t deserve it.

I don’t know much about this Sloan Peterson person, but I know that my Uncle Chad is not a fan. Oh, trust me. No one is a fan. All you need to know about her is that she’s trying to ruin Chanel on her mother. And yet again, my mother gets dragged through the mud for something I did. Don’t blame yourself.

Chanel. Okay? You’re gonna get through this. You all will, hopefully very soon. I know you’re going through a lot too, Johnny, and I want you to know we are here for you. You know that, right? Yeah. Thank you. Uh, you know I had better get going. I did come here looking for Wendy. I should probably try and catch her at.

What did you need to see her about? You didn’t say? Oh, uh, nothing important. Just, uh, wanna see how things are going at the mirror?

I’m sorry if you wasted your time digging into this missing jet mystery. Um, I, I felt like I had to play dumb. I was just trying to protect my sister and her crush. Not to mention your c. , I assume it all makes sense now. All the pieces seem to fit together. Hmm. And, uh, hey, look at the Bright side. Jets back.

Uh, you can use it to whisk Chloe away to Miami. Uh, right now. , if you’d like , we will be going to Miami. But just on a different timeline, huh? Yeah, we’re thinking New Year’s. Oh. Um, the day I’m marrying Gabby, Exactly. And obviously she’s told you Gabby has that she invited both me and Chloe, right? Obviously, but we’re not gonna be there.

We decided it’s not for us. We sent in our IV P yesterday, let you hear it from me. Right? And let’s be honestly, do you really want your bride’s ex-husband. And his new lady in attendance. Do you, uh, think I’d feel threatened because I, I assure you I wouldn’t be, uh, you’ve been very clear that you have no lingering feelings for Gabby, and, uh, she’s been clear as well that she holds nothing but resentment for you now that, um, you’ve returned and treated her with so much, uh, rudeness and insulting behavior.

But, but hey. I get it. So have a wonderful time in Miami.

Hey, wait, what’s wrong? Whatever it is, you can tell me. We can fix it.

So we both agree we have to keep their. Your dad’s and my brothers. Hey Gabby and s Stephan Can’t help you feel okay with that? No, not really. Me neither. I just, I know that being a maid of honor means putting everything else aside to make sure the bride stays perfect. I guess I’m worried about being up for the job.

Because as it is now, I’m on thin ice damara, and after playing hooky, I have a ton of work to catch up on. I guess what I’m saying is I wouldn’t wanna let you down. Are you kidding me? That’s you . You couldn’t possibly let me down ever. Unless you refuse to be my maid of honor, so please, please, please say you guys, Wendy, please.

Yeah, I’d love to think you. Think you, you.

Well, perhaps in your grief you have forgotten, so I will remind you. God is in charge of forgiveness, not me.

I wasn’t asking you for his forgiveness. I was asking for you. Well, right now I’m more concerned about the immortal soul of my sister. So when is the funeral? Oh, I’ve, nothing’s been arranged yet. Nothing. She’s been arranged, been busy. Have we? I’d hate for you to interrupt your important schedule for something so trivial as the passion of your own mother.

It’s in its true graces that I am here. My sisters’ beloved son has managed to both fail her in love and now in this shame on you, air Mr. Mirror. Shame. Shame, shame.

So this is how we’re doing this that are in spiteful probably for the best. Otherwise, we’d make the same mistake. Fine. Cutting.

This is really happening, isn’t it?

In case you can find another way through. I can’t. Maybe our mistake was trying to recapture what we once had,

forgetting all the things that made us wrong for each other. That day in the office when we fell, we had a. We kissed. Yeah. And then your phone rang in, was in the

Wendy. Hey, what are you doing here? It’s. We don’t have to keep our friendship a secret anymore. Remember, it’s our cover now. In fact, it’s probably better for people to see us together. Let ’em think what they think first we’re a secret. Then we’re drumming up wild gossip. What a whirlwind friendship chip.

Anyway, um, I went looking for you earlier just to check. Make sure you’re okay. I spoke to my dad and he was asking if I had any second thoughts about, you know, about keeping our secret about Stephan. I told him we’re both on board, but I wanted to make sure with you I was. Then Gabby called,

oh, you scared the hell outta me. , sorry. Uh, you were somewhere else totally absorbed in whatever you were looking at. Yeah. The perfect target, , that, that, that arrived today, Steph and Chloe aren’t coming to the wedding. Yeah, I know I spoke with Stefan a while ago. What I didn’t know is that you had invited him in the first place.

Yeah. Sorry, I didn’t tell you. I was just, I, I mean, I assume that you’d want a handful of high ranking execs from Damira there. So that was, um, the only reason for the invitation. What do you mean? Um, I, I don’t know. Maybe a part of you wants to show s Stephan that you’re really moving on. I just want Stephan and everyone else to know how happy I am and I am marry the most wonderful man.

I am the luckiest woman. I’m the lucky one. Hey, actually, I forgot to tell you. I saw your sister today. I asked her to be my maid of honor. Oh, um, you saw Jane when, yeah. She didn’t skip out on work. She, she came during her lunch. Well, what did she say? Well, she said yes, but after some persuading, and actually she seemed weirdly uneasy about it.

Gabby was laying it on pretty. About how we could be like real sisters, how close we could be in. She’s seemed genuinely excited about it. I thought she was gonna break out one of those heart BFF necklace sets. Whole time I was trying to smile. Dead inside. Look, I’m sure Gabby didn’t even notice. If you can go face to face with Dr.

Rolf, you can handle anybody. I don’t know. I kept trying to leave. I must’ve been sweating and squirming. It got so bad. I almost blurted out what we did.

Yes.

Let’s talk about what you did.

You down there? Hmm?

Just what are you? You are right. I you should have got to work immediately. Planning something to honor mother. Uh,

While we’re working at the particulars, I want you to stay here. Oh. No argument. I’m going to speak to Harold about setting up a room for you. Stay right here.

Stop staring with your old man

there, a room at the crossroad somewhere.

The call about Jada. It was either the worst timing possible. And the best if we’d actually gotten started.

It would’ve made it harder when things blew up, which was inevitable. Yeah, inevitable.

I guess

Well, I can’t imagine why Gene Wen would be uneasy about being a maid of honor. Well, I think she’s, she’s concerned about the responsibility that come to it, but I told her that she couldn’t disappoint me. So is she resolved All good. I don’t know. Still feels like there’s something that she wasn’t telling me.

Well, you know what I think? I think that you two just don’t know each other all that well yet. You think there’s something she’s not telling you, but I think she’s probably just thinking about what to have for dinner, and that’s very jing wet. I think you should just put this out of your head. I bet the two of you are gonna end up being really good friends.

Yeah, that’s what I told her. Well, you know what they say about great minds,

uh, uncle Stephan. Now we, we were just talking about, uh, we, we, we, your little romantic getaway to Ja.

Yeah, I figured it was you who hacked into the logs for the jet. Why you chose Jakarta as your getaway destination. Hmm. Lano. But I hope you kids had fun because it’s gonna be the last trip you take for a long time on the company’s dime. Of course. And just a fair warning.

Nothing gets by me.

Is it just me or is this getting harder by the minute?

Thanks, voicemail. Hey. Hi, it’s me. Um, I, I’m sorry that I ran out on you and mama before. I just was, I was too emotional. Um, but, uh, gimme a call back when you can. I, I wanna know what’s going on with you and those dim widths at the city council. Okay. Talk soon. You okay? I don’t know how we’re gonna do. But we need to find a way to keep Sloan Peterson from ruining all our lives.

Hello, Eric? Hi. I’m here because I, we have a matter of my bill to discuss. Yeah, no, I am, I assume. I guess it’s just, I didn’t expect to see you here this fast. You and Nicole seemed really in the thick of it. Yeah, well, we actually realized we had nothing else to say.

Should I go? No.

If I stay, you know what that means?

I think we both know what it means

and Jada.

It’s like doing ra. I gotta do the right thing. I can’t stay with Jada, especially when my heart belongs to someone else

As, as angry as I was with you. I never stop loving you. Thank you.

Oh, Eric. This time, no, we. You gotta screw it up, I promise. Yeah.

And sister, you disappeared on me. Apparently one of your invades has an evil sense of humor. Uh, how do you mean? I asked, which was my beloved sister’s room, and she. Pointed this way, put this gas perfume foul, and the air could not be Susan’s. Well, this was mother’s room, but I’ve been letting a friend use a temporarily.

Oh, a friend. I knew you were chasing girls Elvis, just like your namesake. But I pray to God that you were not fornicating in your mother’s mouth. Oh, for.

For Pete’s sake, aunt Sister, yes, my friend happens to be a woman, but that’s all she is. A friend. That’s what they all say. But I pray that is true in your case. Your soul is in enough jeopardy as it is.

Hmm. Looks like someone’s planning a memorial

tasteful affair for attack lady,

but Susan Banks wont be the only one late to rest that day.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Hey! [ Chuckles ]

Nick: Hey.

Sally: I didn’t expect to see you.

Nick: Yeah. I can be unpredictable. Some mornings I’m at crimson lights. Others, I’m here.

Sally: Well, I expected it to be a crimson light morning.

Nick: Is it a problem for you that I’m here?

Sally: Not as long as you behave yourself.

Nick: No promises.

Sally: Well, are you gonna be a gentleman and open the door for me?

Nick: Yes.

Sally: Thank you. I can get my own table.

Nick: Look, there’s no reason why we can’t have breakfast together. I’m still working through some things where we’ but I wouldn’t mind some company while I crush some pancakes.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] Fair enough.

Lauren: Good morning.

Nick: Good morning, lauren. How are things at fenmore’s?

Lauren: Never better.

Sally: That’s wonderful.

Michael: Sally. Good to see you, nick.

Nick: Hey, bud. Hopefully my dad’s not dragging you into too many crazy things.

Michael: [ Chuckles ] He’s keeping things interesting, just the way I like it.

Sally: Well, we don’t want to interrupt your morning any longer. Enjoy your breakfast.

Lauren: Thank you. They’re sharing a meal together, even though they don’t work together anymore. You think something’s going on?

Michael: There are thousands of things that concern me. Whether or not nick and sally are dating doesn’t even come close to making that list.

Sally: I can practically feel lauren’s eyes boring a hole into my back. We don’t have the excuse of being colleagues anymore. Are you sure you’re okay with this?

Jack: Good morning.

Diane: Oh. Good morning. It looks chilly outside, like it could snow any second.

Jack: Good to know. I wasn’t expecting a weather report.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Oh, well, I was just trying to be helpful. Something to repay your generous hospitality. Thank you again for letting me stay over.

Jack: I hope you slept okay. I’m an early riser. You were down here before I was. I — I hope you weren’t up all night worrying.

Diane: Well, in spite of the wonderful accommodations, I — I didn’t get a lot of rest. But I wanted to get up early and get back to the hotel before going to the office. I — I don’t want anyone at jabot getting the wrong impression.

Ashley: Impression about what?

Jack: I invited diane to spend the night here last night.

Ashley: Why?

Jack: Because she was understandably rattled at the news that jeremy stark is in town. She didn’t feel safe going to her hotel, and I don’t blame her.

Ashley: I’m sure you don’T.

Jack: I didn’t want to leave her alone with that man in the vicinity. That man came to our front door. What if — what if harrison had been the one to greet him at the door instead of diane?

Ashley: So, diane, what was it like reuniting with your ex-lover?

Diane: Why? Are you concerned for my safety?

Jack: I have asked phyllis how it is that jeremy knew exactly where diane was. I got nowhere there. I’ll ask you. Did you and your cohorts have anything to do with leading him here?

Ashley: I’m telling you right now that I —

Diane: Oh. I — I’m — I should go.

Jack: You want an escort?

Diane: No, I’ll be fine. I’m just going to the hotel and then straight to the office.

Jack: Okay, text me, let me know you’re there safely?

Diane: Okay.

Jack: Yeah. Okay, now that she’s gone, answer my question. Did you have anything to do with stark showing up at our home?

Ashley: Answer this question first, jack. Is diane using stark’s arrival here as an excuse to jump into your bed?

Nikki: So, the transition at the media division is going smoothly?

Victoria: Yeah, it is. Nate is doing a great job of getting everything up to speed.

[ Sighs ] There’s only one problem.

Nikki: What’s that?

Victoria: Mm. Nicholas. He’s, um — he’s been distracted by this whole issue with sally spectra.

Nikki: What, that she was fired?

Victoria: Yes. Yes. It was just business. But he’s taking it very personally. Has he mentioned anything to you about sally?

Nikki: Are you kidding? Do you think that he would take advice from his mother about his love life? Not that I haven’t offered plenty of it over the years, but he — he ignores it.

Victoria: I don’t know, mom. I’m just worried about him. He needs to listen to someone with some sense.

Nikki: [ Gasps ] Oh, my god.

Victoria: What’s wrong? Do you know that man?

Nikki: I know of him. He’s a whole lot of trouble.

At chewy, you can save

on all the gifts you need

Additional sponsorship

Nick: Thanks.

Lauren: You know, they seem like they’re up to something. The way they look at each other — I don’t know — it seems very intimate.

Michael: I’m thinking about a frittata.

Lauren: Maybe sally’s moving on from adam to his brother.

Michael: Oh, who am i kidding? How can I not order a crab cake benedict? That reminds me of new orleans.

[ Southern accent ] You remember that little place on magazine street?

Lauren: Are you not caring about anything that I’m saying about this possible relationship? It could actually affect your job if victor decides to meddle.

Michael: Who can predict love? If sally and nick make each other happy, good for them. I won’t stand in their way.

Lauren: Love? Uh…mnh. This is sally we’re talking about.

Michael: Hmm. You never know. It can happen very quickly. I’m sure you fell head over heels for me in a matter of seconds.

Lauren: [ Laughs ] My darling, are — are you actually forgetting how it happened?

Michael: Now that I think about it, it was exactly the opposite. Ahh, I fell in love with you in a blink of an eye.

Lauren: We have been very, very lucky. But I’m not so sure that nick and sally are a similar match to us. In fact, I’m concerned about nick. I hope sally’s intentions are good.

Sally: She is still staring at us, right?

Nick: I learned a long time ago to not care what people think. Being a newman, always in the spotlight, people always judging you. Does the scrutiny bother you?

Sally: Why should it? I’m used to people talking about me, too. But you probably know that from everything that victor’s guys dug up on me.

Nick: Yeah. There was, uh, definitely some things in there that would spark up a conversation.

Sally: [ Sighs ] I have been involved in some shady stuff in the past, some of which you know about, some you might not. Or you might be hearing stories from people now. In either case, I’m not proud of most of what I’ve done. But I have learned and grown from all of it. And I’m willing to talk about any of it. You just have to ask ’cause I do not want there to be any surprises between us down the line. If there is a “down the line” for us.

Nick: I’m surprised you wouldn’t want to share your worst moments.

Sally: I would be willing to tell you everything… ’cause I think you’re worth it.

Jack: First of all, it is none of your business who did or didn’t sleep in my bed last night. Second of all, you are changing the subject. I asked you, did you have anything to do…

Ashley: I heard you.

Jack: …With stark showing up at our door?

Ashley: I heard you, and i promise you I didn’t even know the man was in town, okay?

Kyle: You talking about jeremy stark? Because he was in town and still is.

Jack: Wait, how do you know that?

Kyle: I confronted him last night.

Victoria: So, who is he?

Nikki: It’s jeremy stark.

Victoria: The money launderer that diane was working for in los angeles?

Nikki: Shh! Shh! Yes, that’s him. He just got out of prison. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look.

Victoria: What is he doing here in genoa city? Did he come for diane? Mom? What did you do?

Nikki: It’s very complicated.

Victoria: Are you responsible for bringing a criminal to town?

Nikki: I don’t want to talk about this here. We should go. Let’s go.

Victoria: I need to go over the budget for the next fiscal year.

Nikki: Oh, right.

[ Knocking on door ]

Diane: Jack’s not in yet.

Phyllis: Alright. Well, I’ll wait for him. Alone, preferably. I need to clear a couple things up.

Diane: Oh. What was unclear?

Phyllis: Well, it’s really none of your business. But he was in a vile mood. It’s probably ’cause you riled him all up with your damsel act.

[ Imitating crying ] “Bad man coming to get me. Oh, my god.”

Diane: It wasn’t a performance, phyllis. I really am in danger. But, you know, perhaps I could straighten a few things out for you since I probably have a better idea where jack’s head is at the moment.

Phyllis: Mm. Okay. Why is that?

Diane: Because I was the last person he saw last night and the first one he saw this morning at the abbott house. Yeah, that’s right. I spent the night there. Covid-19 moves fast and now you can too

Summer: So, this is still a thing?

Nick: What’s happening here is two people just having breakfast together.

Summer: What happened to her not wanting anything to do with you? That’s what you told me.

Nick: Things have changed, summer, we’re just having a meal, and if something was happening, I’d like to think you’d be okay with it. Or maybe even happy for us.

Summer: [ Scoffs ] Could we get a moment alone, please?

Nick: Wait, is that absolutely necessary?

Sally: You know what? It’s alright ’cause I need to check in with chloe anyway.

Nick: [ Sighs ] That was rude.

Summer: I think she’ll survive.

Nick: She doesn’t deserve to be treated like that.

Summer: Well, I need to be honest with you, and I didn’t think you’d want me to do that with her sitting right here.

Nick: What did you want to say?

Summer: [ Sighs ] I can’t get on board with this.

Nick: Why not?

Summer: Because sally is using you, somehow, some way. I am sure of it.

Ashley: Kyle, what do you mean, you confronted stark?

Kyle: I went to his hotel room, told him to leave my mother alone.

Jack: Wait, you did what?

Kyle: I went to the grand phoenix, knocked on his door —

Jack: Wait. Stop. Stop. That’s where he is staying?

Kyle: Yes. Fourth floor.

Jack: Well, that isn’t exactly a coincidence. That’s where diane lives. I’m gonna get security to give her an escort to and from the office.

Kyle: Mm. That’s a good idea.

Jack: What did you say to stark?

Kyle: I told him in no uncertain terms to leave my mother alone.

Jack: How did stark respond?

Kyle: He said he had no ill will towards her, claimed he just wanted to reconnect with an old flame now that he’s gotten out of prison.

Ashley: Okay. So, he’s not actually threatening anybody.

Kyle: That’s right, but he —

Ashley: And also that means that possibly nobody’s really in any danger. There’s no evidence of that.

Kyle: He was lying. The guy is so smooth and unflappable. He probably has never told the truth. His mere presence is a threat.

Jack: I got the same menacing feeling from him, and diane’s fears are legitimate. He sent her a text saying it would be a big mistake to let the abbotts fight her battles. Now I realize that was about you showing up, too.

Kyle: Well, there’s your evidence right there. And now I’m even more worried about my mother. And I’m furious at whoever put her in this situation.

Phyllis: Are you really telling me that you took your little victim act right into jack’s bed last night?

Diane: Do you have to be so vulgar?

Phyllis: That wasn’t vulgar.

Diane: Oh, well, in any case, we shouldn’t be discussing such things at the office.

Phyllis: Oh, okay. Well, you didn’t have sex with jack. If you had, you would be screaming it from the rooftops. You’re acting too demure.

Diane: You think everything i do is some kind of act.

Phyllis: Yes, I do. Because it usually is.

Diane: Oh, just relax. I slept in the guest room.

Phyllis: Why are you sleeping at the abbott house at all?

Diane: Well, I — I have you to thank. You’re the reason jack extended the invitation. Insisted, really. He was concerned about jeremy stark and the threat he poses. And that was your doing, right?

Phyllis: [ Scoffs ] Well, you definitely convinced jack of that, didn’t you?

Diane: Yeah. Jack wanted me safe last night. He was so strong and protective. So, you think you’re hurting me, but you are actually strengthening the bond between us. Thanks, phyllis.

Phyllis: You’re welcome. I want to remind you that that bond isn’t unbreakable.

Jeremy: Diane.

Diane: [ Gasps ]

Jeremy: There you are.

[ Chuckles ] I was hoping to find you here. Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

Summer: I really shouldn’t have to remind you what sally has done to me. Miraculously, it all worked out, but it doesn’t change the fact that she blackmailed me in order to get me to leave town and go to italy.

Nick: For the record, she participated in tara locke’s plan. She was not the blackmailer.

Summer: Regardless, she wanted me out of genoa city so she could take my job. That’s the kind of person she is.

Nick: Look, I’m aware of your history with her. I don’t like what she did, but, summer, we’ve all done things that we’re not proud of. We’ve made mistakes. Some of the things you’ve done aren’t so different from sally’S. Do you remember your first marriage to kyle, where you pressured him into tying the knot so you could save lola’s life?

Summer: Okay, I cringe when i think about that. We don’t need to go there.

Nick: Well, sally doesn’t want to revisit her mistakes, either.

Summer: I have worked really hard to put that time in my life behind me. I am not that person anymore.

Nick: Same as sally. And what about your mother? She’s done some pretty despicable things.

Summer: We are not talking about mom right now.

Nick: Well, you go out of your way to give her the benefit of the doubt. Why can’t you do the same with sally? Doesn’t she deserve the same shot at redemption that you and your mom got?

Summer: Is that a serious question?

Lauren: Sally. I heard what happened with newman media. It’s so unfortunate. I’m sorry.

Sally: Thank you. I just consider it another high point I get to add to my résumé.

[ Chuckles ]

Michael: Well, the newman name carries a lot of clout.

Sally: Yeah, I’m — I’m really proud of what i accomplished there. But now it’s on to bigger and better things.

Ashley: So, what’s your plan?

Sally: [ Chuckles ] Well, you know me. I always have something percolating.

Lauren: Mm-hmm. So, I’m sure by now you know that chelsea is no longer designing for fenmore’s or marchetti.

Sally: Yes, I heard that. But are you telling me casually or officially? Does this mean that you’ve gotten to the point where you can maybe forgive my past mistakes and consider trusting me again?

Diane: How did you get in here?

Jeremy: Come on. You know me. I have my ways. Oh, nice digs. I bet the overhead is brutal. Hello. Friend of yours?

Diane: No.

Phyllis: No.

Diane: But I think she’s a friend of yours, jeremy. This is phyllis summers. I assume the two of you have been in contact. You might not have met in person. It might have been some anonymous, mysterious phone call.

Phyllis: What are you talking about?

Diane: She’s the one who told you where to find me, isn’t she?

Phyllis: That’s absurd.

Jeremy: You know, your voice, it — it does sound familiar.

Victoria: You seem like you’re worried that someone has followed us.

Nikki: Oh, no, everything is fine. I’m — I’m just taking precautions.

Victoria: What’s going on? Is this guy jeremy stark looking for you?

Nikki: Of course not. He doesn’t even know my name.

Victoria: But you did help to bring him here, didn’t you?

Nikki: Well, phyllis, ashley, and I had this plan of using his release from prison as a way to scare diane out of town. But that wasn’t quite enough, so we talked about taking it to the next level.

Victoria: And you brought him here?

Nikki: No, that was not our intention. But phyllis had taken matters into her own hands.

Victoria: Well, who would have seen that coming?

Nikki: She actually contacted stark directly, told him that diane was involved in his arrest and then told him where he could find her. And apparently he took the bait because now he’s here.

Victoria: Oh, my god. Look, I’m not a fan of diane, but this seems extreme, doesn’t it?

Nikki: Ashley and I felt the same way. But phyllis had already set things in motion.

Victoria: How do we fix this?

Nikki: I don’t know that we can, but we can take precautions.

[ Door opens ]

Victor: I’ve just been informed that jeremy stark is in town.

Nikki: Yeah. We just saw him at crimson lights.

Victor: I have alerted security. He’s not gonna step foot in either this building or the ranch, okay?

Nikki: Thank you.

Victor: You know the guy’s dangerous. The threat is real. Dancing is everything.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Summer: I hear what you’re trying to say about forgiving sally and moving on. It’S… I just think it’s different with her.

Nick: How so?

Summer: Does she really regret her actions, or is she just mad that she got caught? Is she pretending to be remorseful as a part of a new scam?

Nick: [ Sighs ] Look, supergirl, it’s up to me to decide whether or not i believe her, and I think sally is sincere.

Summer: [ Scoffs ]

Nick: And I can tell you this — she regrets the way she acted towards you.

Summer: Okay. And I think she’s using you. She jumped from one rich newman to another really quickly.

Nick: I assure you, she is not after my money.

Summer: How could you possibly know that?

Nick: Because I offered her some — quite a lot of it, actually — and she turned me down.

Summer: You did what?

Nick: Yes. I wanted to invest in her new business venture. I put an offer on the table, and she rejected it. She won’t even take a loan from me because she wants to do it on her own.

Summer: Interesting.

Nick: Summer, I need you to understand this. Whatever is going on with me and sally — and it may not go anywhere… but it’s my decision to make. Now, I hate it that you disagree with me, but it’s not gonna get me to change my mind. And I really hope someday you can change yours.

Victor: I am sure that this is phyllis’ doing. And I think you should separate yourself from her — okay? — And persuade ashley to do the same.

Nikki: Well, for the most part, we’ve all been working together. I would — I wouldn’t feel right leaving phyllis twisting in the wind.

Victor: Why? She has done that to you before. No reason for you to feel guilty.

Victoria: So, how do you want to handle this, dad?

Victor: For now, I’ve assigned security to your mother, to ashley, to summer, and to harrison, alright?

Victoria: What about phyllis and the rest of the abbotts?

Victor: I don’t care about the rest of the abbotts. They can take care of themselves. But I have a feeling that they’ll all rally around diane as if she’s the victim now.

Nikki: Oh, god, I hope not. They’ll pay dearly for that.

Victor: Sweetheart, you need to stay out of this. You’ve got to end your involvement in this right now.

Jack: Did stark give you any idea how he knew exactly where to find diane?

Kyle: No, although that wasn’t my primary concern at the time.

Jack: Yeah, he told me he assumed on his own that diane wanted to reunite with her family, so he guessed she might be here.

Kyle: That seems unlikely.

Jack: Yeah, I had exactly the same feeling.

Kyle: We may need extra security.

Jack: Okay, look, I will take care of that, but, um, I’m gonna go check on diane right now.

Kyle: Do you want me to hire guards?

Jack: No, no, no. I will take care of it. I know who to call. Let’s make sure that summer and harrison are safe.

Kyle: Thanks, dad.

[ Door closes ] I know you firmly believe in science. You have to have proof before you believe in things. Well, I don’t have proof that you and nikki and phyllis led this very dangerous man here. I have a feeling that’s exactly what happened. My own aunt put my entire family in danger. Is that what you wanted, ashley? Are you happy with how things turned out?

Phyllis: I guess I just have one of those voices. It, um, reminds someone of someone they knew or someone they want to know. You know. Well, I have some work to do. Excuse me.

Diane: Phyllis, could you, um — could you just wait a minute? I need to talk to you about something.

Jeremy: [ Clears throat ]

Phyllis: No. I’m very busy. Excuse me. Nice to meet you…

Jeremy: Jeremy.

Phyllis: Jeremy. Nice to meet you.

Jeremy: You too.

Diane: [ Sighs ] You shouldn’t have come here. This is my workplace. You showing up unannounced isn’t helping anything.

Jeremy: Well, my apologies. But remember our conversation was cut short. And we need to finish it. #1 isn’t a status earned overnight.

Lauren: You know, I always felt you had a keen eye for fashion. And not everyone has that kind of flair.

Sally: Well, thank you, lauren. That really means a lot.

Lauren: And although you are an amazing designer, you just are your own worst enemy.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] Yes, I would say that is a fair assessment of my past actions, but I really feel like I’ve left all that behind. No more self-sabotaging and no sabotaging anybody else, for that matter.

Lauren: Well, good for you. It’s always nice when people can redeem themselves.

Michael: Lauren has moved past several troubling incidents in her past.

Sally: [ Clears throat ] Well, it’s good to know that I’m not alone. And thank you guys for the support. But I don’t think I’m gonna be going back to the world of fashion. I want to forge a new career path.

Lauren: Okay. Well, I wish you luck.

Michael: As do I.

Sally: Thank you. And I’m really glad we cleared the air.

Lauren: Me too.

Sally: Alright, I’m gonna go back to my table.

Michael: Good luck.

Sally: Thanks.

Michael: You never cease to amaze me. I thought sally was your avowed enemy, and now you’re her biggest fan.

Lauren: Ahh. I believe we all need second chances.

Michael: Yeah. Absolutely. Huh. Where would the two of us be without them?

Lauren: Seriously. But, actually, I was, um, taking the advice that I gave phyllis. Watching her with that grudge against diane? I — it’s not healthy.

Michael: Yet another reason I love you.

[ Chuckles ]

Lauren: You know, you’re being awfully nice for a man who has yet to eat today.

Michael: I know. Where is my crab cake benedict?

[ Cellphone pings ] Sorry.

Lauren: Oh. Well, tell victor I say hi.

Michael: Oh. Duty calls. It’s important.

Lauren: Isn’t it always?

Michael: Well, this seems more than his usual bluster. I mean, the message implies that lives are at risk.

Lauren: Oh, my goodness. Honey, be careful, okay?

Michael: Yeah. I will. Promise.

Lauren: [ Sighs ]

Sally: Did you two have a good talk?

Nick: I think we straightened some things out.

Summer: [ Sighs ] I’ll think about what you said, dad. And I’ll see you soon.

Nick: Love you.

Sally: Bye. What exactly did you tell her?

Nick: I was, uh, pretty direct with her. I just told her we’re still figuring things out.

Sally: Well, that’s an accurate description. But what else did you say? There had to have been more. It looked pretty intense.

Nick: I just made it very clear that I will be the one who decides who I date and nobody, not even my amazing daughter, is going to tell me otherwise.

Ashley: I am sorry. Honestly, from my heart, I never wanted things to escalate like this.

Kyle: Look, it doesn’t matter what you wanted. I don’t know what your intentions were, but this current situation is a direct result of your actions.

Ashley: I was not personally involved in stark coming to —

Kyle: No, the three of you have threatened my mother with this very thing — bringing this monster to town to send her into hiding. And on one hand, I understand why you want to go toe to toe with my mother, but you have put our entire family in jeopardy. Do you not care how this affects harrison?

Ashley: Kyle, I love your little boy. Of course I care. I would lay down my own life to protect him.

Kyle: Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.

Ashley: He’s not gonna be harmed.

Kyle: You can’t be sure of that! If anyone I care about is harmed by jeremy stark, I will find out who was behind bringing him here. And if you and nikki and phyllis were at all responsible, I will hold all of you accountable.

[ Footsteps departing ]

Diane: What are you doing? You can’t stay here.

Jeremy: I’m not going anywhere.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] Jeremy, this is a place of business. You can’t just hang out.

Jeremy: Well, maybe I’m here on business. Maybe I want to buy a, uh, nice perfume or lipstick or rouge.

Diane: Alright, alright, come — come with me.

[ Sighs ] I don’t know why you’re here, but we have nothing more to discuss.

Jeremy: Don’t play games with me. Even after all these years, I still know you.

Diane: Jeremy, I’m glad you’re out, and I wish you well —

Jeremy: I heard you were instrumental in arranging my arrest and helped the authorities put me in prison.

Diane: That’s not true. And I can only imagine where you heard such a thing.

Jeremy: Oh, maybe I heard it from that lovely and helpful phyllis. Or maybe it was someone who sounded just like her.

Diane: Well, whoever said it, they were wrong. I had nothing to do with your arrest or your conviction. Someone, probably phyllis, has tricked you into thinking that I betrayed you, and it’s only because she’s holding a grudge against me. Jeremy, you’ve been played.

Jeremy: I don’t believe you.

Diane: You know, I’m warning you, I could have security here in a second.

Jeremy: Why would you do that, hmm? You think, uh, I want to hurt you? Do you think I’m some violent criminal out for revenge? No. That doesn’t interest me. I don’t care about past actions, but there is something else that I want that concerns me deeply.

Diane: What is that?

Jeremy: I want something from you, beautiful.

Diane: Jeremy, please.

Jeremy: I want my money. A dental tool is round for a reason.

Phyllis: The three of us made a pact to do anything necessary, anything possible to get rid of diane. I was forced to do this, and, honestly, she brought it upon herself.

Ashley: What if it backfires? This could get ugly so fast.

Phyllis: It won’T.

Ashley: Hear me out. We don’t know for a fact that stark went to prison because of diane. We don’T. Now, how do you think he’s gonna feel if he finds out this whole thing was a hoax? I don’t think he’s gonna be too happy when he finds out he’s been used.

Nikki: We need to be prepared in case he does decide to come after us.

Phyllis: You two are really overreacting.

Ashley: No, we’re not, phyllis. Do you really want to risk him getting violent with anyone, including diane? Because I don’T.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Victoria: Mom, I agree with dad. I think you need to cut ties with ashley and phyllis. I don’t want to see you get hurt.

Nikki: Darling, don’t worry. I can take care of myself.

Victoria: Of course you can, but this is dangerous. There’s no telling what this guy is gonna do or how he might react.

Victor: You don’t have to worry, okay? No harm will come to anyone in my family. You’ll all be protected.

Nikki: I hope you don’t blame me for this man’s arrival in genoa city.

Victor: Sweetheart, no. I’d never blame you for this. Phyllis is the one who brought this criminal back into town. Excuse me. I need to meet with michael baldwin, okay? Don’t you worry about a thing.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

Michael: Victor, I just saw the security downstairs. What’s going on?

Victor: Some fellow called jeremy stark just arrived in town.

Michael: Who is that?

Victor: He’s a recently released felon, a dangerous man. I need to know everything about him.

Jeremy: I had everything taken away from me when I was in prison. Millions.

Diane: You still have your health.

Jeremy: Oh, now, you’re cracking jokes? This isn’t funny.

Diane: Well, I’m sorry. I just don’t know what this has to do with me.

Jeremy: I had one last shipment of cash that didn’t make it to the islands. The feds didn’t get their hands on it. That’s all the money I have to start over. And you were in possession at that time. So I’m only assuming that you hung on to it for me. So, I want it back. Just give me my money and you’ll never see me again.

Diane: I don’t have it.

Jeremy: [ Clears throat ] How is that possible? It was a large sum of money, and now you’re saying you don’t have it?

Diane: No, I don’t have it. I used that money to rebuild my life after you went to prison. I had nothing. You left me high and dry. And I kept expecting the police to knock on my door and arrest me for crimes that you forced me to commit! So it was my right to use that money to survive.

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] That’s not my problem. That’s my money. You owe me.

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Deacon: So, you guys really think sheila faked her own death?

Steffy: Sounds crazy, I know.

Finn: But nothing’s adding up.

Deacon: What’s not adding up? I- chief baker closed the case, her official death certificate said mauled by a bear.

Finn: Think about it. It’s way too convenient.

Steffy: Sheila’s wanted for double attempted murder and then she just winds up dead? And the only thing they find is her toe.

Deacon: Hope told me that they found a bunch of other stuff up there, too, though.

Finn: Yeah, but not enough. And there should have been more blood. There– there’s a lot that doesn’t make any sense.

Deacon: So you guys are serious. You– you really think she’s still alive?

Steffy: We’re certain of it.

Katie: Well. Hello there.

[ Laughs ]

Carter: Sorry.

Katie: No, no, don’t– don’t apologize. This might be the best thing that’s happened to me all day.

Carter: Happy to oblige. Although, I don’t know what that says about your day. Must have been pretty uneventful.

Katie: Not anymore.

Liam: Oh, good. I heard you were working from here. Listen, we gotta talk about this buyout. I’m starting to question whether it’s a good idea. So, is wyatt, obviously, you know, you have the final say, but we kind of need a decision today. And you’ve been a little M.I.A. Oh, no, dad. Not the necklace. What’s going on with you?

Liam: Dad, why are you wearing the sword necklace?

Bill: Katie put you up to this?

Liam: Katie? No.

Bill: Well, she was here earlier. Asked the same question.

Liam: Yeah, I imagine she did. It’s not exactly a good omen.

Bill: It’s just a piece of jewelry.

Liam: No, it’s not– it’s not a piece of jewelry. It’s a metaphor for your self-destructiveness.

Bill: Dramatic, don’t you think?

Liam: I’m not being– when you wear that thing on your neck, it means you’re in scorched earth mode. So what gives? What’s going on with you? ‘Cause I thought you were done with it forever.

Bill: Forever’s a long time. And I don’t have to explain myself to you.

Liam: Okay. I– all right. Fine. So katie was here. Why? What happened?

Katie: You’re actually just the man I was looking for. Justin says these contracts are urgent, so I volunteered to be the messenger. Glad I did. I got more than what I bargained for. Not complaining.

Carter: I left my bag here, and I thought I had the place to myself, but I am glad you’re still here.

Katie: Me too.

Carter: I spoke to brooke earlier and she said you overheard me singing your praises to bill.

[ Sighs ]

Deacon: There was a full investigation, right? The dna matched the blood at the scene.

Steffy: No one’s disputing that.

Deacon: Okay. So what has you convinced that she’s still alive? Oh, come on. No. Is that her toe? Oh, god. I need a beer. You want one?

Steffy: No, thank you.

Deacon: How the hell’d you get that, anyway?

Finn: Detective sanchez gave it to me.

Deacon: What, as a souvenir?

Steffy: Finn was suspicious. Now, so am I.

Deacon: So you’re just walking around with this toe, knocking on doors?

Steffy: Only your door, deacon. We’re here to see if you could help us find sheila carter. You didn’t live this strong, this long to get put

Liam: I take it your visit with katie didn’t go the way you hoped. Listen, I’m sure you don’t want to talk about it, but I’m here.

Bill: Yeah, there’s not much to talk about. It’s as simple as this. I poured out my soul to katie, and she wants nothing to do with me.

Liam: That must have been really hard. I’m sorry.

Bill: Katie’s moving on. With carter walton.

Katie: I deserve better. That’s what you said to bill.

Carter: I’m not wrong.

Katie: No, you’re not. It’s taken me a while to… really accept that I deserve more than what bill is capable of giving me. It’s hard, you know, with the child and we have so much history.

Carter: It’s natural to want to make it work for your son, for your family.

Katie: Until it becomes abundantly clear that it is not going to work and it never will.

Carter: Wow. Sounds like you’ve come to terms with it. That’s a big step.

Katie: You’re making my happiness your business?

Carter: You heard that too, huh?

Katie: I did.

Carter: Is that okay?

Katie: Yeah, it’s more than okay. It felt really powerful and reassuring. Especially in that moment. Bill had literally just finished pleading with brooke to give him another chance and you– you saw what he was doing and you stood up for me.

Carter: Defending a fascinating, talented, beautiful woman like you. It’s easy.

Deacon: Isn’t that enough proof? I mean, you got a gross decomposing toe. I mean, it’s a pretty good indication she’s no longer with us.

Finn: It certainly appeared sheila was mauled by a bear.

Steffy: You know, she was up in the sierra mountains based on some security footage.

Deacon: Right. Right. They– they found her car up there, didn’t they?

Steffy: Yeah. They found a cell phone, id.

Finn: Some of sheila’s hair, some blood spattered clothing.

Deacon: Yeah, I heard the crime scene photos were pretty gnarly.

Finn: Not as bad as I would have expected. A vicious animal attack like that? There should have been more remains left behind.

Deacon: Jeez, that bear must have been famished, getting ready for winter hibernation. I’m sorry that I– I didn’t mean any disrespect by that, I know that was your mother.

Finn: My birth mother.

Deacon: Right. I just, you know, still, what she did to you two…

Steffy: It’s difficult because we didn’t get justice for her crimes.

Finn: And that’s what we think sheila’s motive is.

Steffy: It’s either die or go to prison.

Finn: That’s why we have this little investigation of our own.

Deacon: You guys think the cops will reopen this thing?

Finn: Depends.

Deacon: On?

Steffy: If we can prove sheila’s not really dead.

Deacon: What? Why do you think she’s still kicking it? I mean, what prompted this?

Steffy: Deacon, you know sheila. Who else would cut off their toe and fake their own death?

Bill: You know what? I am so tired of this. Everybody just betraying me. You’re challenging me. Katie is moving on with carter walton. Brooke welcomes forrester back for more– more pain and suffering and disappointment.

Liam: For the record, they’re not back together.

Bill: You know what? I don’t give a damn. I’m tired of it, liam. Been stabbed in the back. Even justin, my best friend, my right hand man, my brother. My brother stabbed me in the back. And now what? Working at forrester.

Liam: Hey, dad. You have a right to disappointment. And I know you probably don’t want to hear this, but it is actually okay to feel sorry for yourself once in a while.

Bill: No, liam, I don’t want to hear it. And I’m not feeling sorry for myself. I’m giving you factual information, but you keep it up and you’re going to be feeling sorry for yourself.

Liam: All right. Okay, fine, fine. Then as your son. Stop it. Stop it. ‘Cause all this? This is ego. It’s your ego talking. And when your ego’s in charge, you get into trouble.

Katie: I believe you when you say wonderful things to me. With bill, I was– I was never always completely sure. I, uh, saw him earlier, he made– he made another impassioned plea for us to reconcile.

Carter: What’d you say?

Katie: I told him the truth. That I’m moving on. It’s hard.

Carter: Which part?

Katie: The part where I married a man, and I had a child with him, and I gave my heart to him, and he says that my sister is the true love of his life.

[ Sighs ] Gosh. Do you think there’s a man in los angeles who doesn’t want brooke? Who isn’t in love with brooke? Brooke, brooke, brooke, brooke, brooke. I mean, I love my sister, but do you think that there’s just one man, just one man who doesn’t want her, who isn’t in love with her and who might want someone like me?

Carter: [ Clears throat ]

Katie: [ Laughs ]

Deacon: So you really think she cut off her own toe?

Finn: I know that sounds crazy. And–

Deacon: Well, you know when I hear crazy, I mean, who else are you going to think of but sheila? You just seem very convinced.

Liam: You know, it was just something that was bugging me. This feeling that I had. Something wasn’t right. So I got detective sanchez to bring me up some evidence so I can take a closer look at it.

Steffy: We put her toe under a microscope.

Finn: There is no sign that a wild animal clawed or chewed this off. There’s no sign of traumatic amputation. This was cut cleanly. Evenly sliced with a sharp knife to make it look like it was torn off.

Steffy: By none other than nurse sheila carter. Unless she had help from someone else. ()

Liam: All right. One more reality check. Katie is not leaving your family. She’s a loving, devoted mother and you’re a damn good father. But you have to accept the fact that you two have not been an item in a long time.

Bill: Not officially, maybe. But it’s always been right there under the surface. Just a matter of when, not if. Everybody knew that we would end up together.

Liam: You really think that?

Bill: Katie or brooke. I was meant to be with one or the other.

Liam: Yeah. Yeah, but you can’t have both.

>Bill: You know me pretty well, liam. And you know that I don’t like when somebody tells me what I can and cannot have in my business affairs or affairs of the heart. Have I made mistakes? Sure. We all have. But I have loved them, I have cared for them, I have protected them, and this is what I get in return? Nobody betrays my trust and nobody dismisses me. I am dollar bill spencer.

Liam: Hey, hey, hey. You’re fired up. I see it. I get it. But promise me you’re not going to do something drastic.

[ Exhales ]

[ Clearing throat ]

Carter: Sorry, I have something in my throat. Let’s run that back. So you’re looking for a guy who’s not in love with your sister?

Katie: Yeah! Just one small little thing. Is that too much to ask?

Carter: No, not at all. And I want to go on record to say that although I respect brooke, I admire her, I appreciate her, I enjoy working with her, but that’s it, that’s as far as it goes.

Katie: Are you sure? Are you sure you’ve never been interested in brooke?

Carter: No.

Katie: Positive?

Carter: No, not once. The only logan I have my eye on is the one I’m staring at. You’re amazing, katie. I mean, you’re vibrant, you’re genuine, you’re smart. I mean, you’re funny. And you’re beautiful. Very beautiful.

Deacon: Come on, there’s no way that–

Finn: I can tell you’re freaking out, deacon.

Deacon: No– me? I–

Steffy: I mean, we’re freaking out, too. We thought sheila was dead.

Finn: We had convinced ourselves that we were free of sheila and all of her threats. I mean, but now we’re sure she’s alive.

Deacon: Have you taken this theory to detective sanchez? And have you mentioned this to the cops?

Steffy: No, we came here first.

Deacon: Wh– here? Why?

Steffy: Because you and sheila have a history.

Deacon: Oh. Come on, no.

Finn: As soon as sheila came back to town, hope and I saw you with her at el giardino. You guys were clearly an item.

Deacon: Okay, that was ages ago, and I would hardly call us an item. Look, she’s got a very strong personality and can be a little difficult to say no to.

Steffy: We just thought sheila might have some help pulling this all off.

Finn: And what we do know is she has very few friends in L.A. And she would probably be reaching out to someone at some point.

Steffy: Yeah, she has no one to turn to… except you. So if you know anything, where she’s been, where she’s going, it’d be great if you can tell us.

Finn: Having information not coming forward, that would create a hell of a lot of problems.

Steffy: I’m not trying to accuse you of anything, but if you could just shed a light on her whereabouts, if you know anything.

Deacon: Look, if sheila’s still alive, I have no idea where she is.

Finn: Okay. Let us know if she reaches out. Sheila’s a dangerous woman. None of us are safe with her on the loose.

Deacon: I know.

Steffy: Thanks.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Nicole tells EJ that his hangover smoothie is disgusting. EJ thought she was getting used to it but reminds her that she said she was feeling better which proves that it does work. Nicole acknowledges that EJ was really kind to her last night. EJ states that she needed a friend and admits he did too. Nicole is glad she could be there for him. EJ hugs her as Johnny then walks in and questions what is going on here.

Rafe goes to the Brady Pub and finds Jada at a table. Rafe says he heard she called in sick for the second day in a row, so he wanted to make sure she’s okay. Jada responds that the doctor said she could go back to work tomorrow as she confirms to Rafe that she got the abortion.

Eric questions Sloan wanting to be his lawyer. Sloan points out that he just said Belle won’t represent him. Eric responds that he has other options. Sloan says that none are better than her and suggests he hire her to find out.

Abe joins Chanel and Paulina in the interrogation room. Paulina tells Abe that she’s missing their bed but she is hanging in there. Abe asks about Chanel getting to be back at home. Chanel responds that she’s very grateful that Belle got her out on bail, but she will not be okay until Paulina is free. Chanel argues that Paulina never should’ve been arrested in the first place so they need to let her go. Paulina hopes that Abe has some good news on that front but Abe says he’s afraid not.

Belle goes to the police station and greets Shawn. Shawn tells her that Paulina, Chanel, and Abe are in the interrogation room if she needs Paulina. Belle says it will do Paulina good to spend some time with her family and will also give them a chance to talk about Eric. They talk about how they were not expecting to walk in on Eric drunk and assaulting people when they went out for a drink. Belle hated Eric’s behavior and how out of control he was. Belle says her heart is breaking for Eric as she can see how much pain he’s in. Shawn guesses she is having second thoughts about not taking his case. Belle admits she can’t get the image out of her head of Eric sitting in his cell all alone with no one in his corner…

Sloan asks Eric what he says. Eric doesn’t know if it would be such a good idea. Sloan asks if it’s because of her reputation. Eric says he tries not to judge people. Sloan gets that it’s hard when everyone is calling her an ambulance chaser but says those haters fail to mention that she tends to catch what she chases.

Rafe asks if Jada wants anything to eat but she says she’s not hungry. Rafe asks if she’s sure she is feeling okay since he couldn’t help but notice she was taking a pill. Jada says it was just for pain which is basically gone but she feels terrible about missing work. Rafe says it’s important to him that she takes care of herself. Jada assures that she’s ready to come back to work because hanging around here is the last thing she wants to do. Jada tells Rafe that if he wants to ask her something, he can as she doesn’t mind talking to him about this. Rafe brings up how on Thanksgiving, she told him that she decided not to keep the baby and he knows that Eric hoped otherwise. Jada says in the end, she had to what was best for her. Rafe says that’s her right and assumes that Eric understands that. Jada says he did but he was still unhappy that she ended the pregnancy without telling him. Rafe asks if Eric was angry. Jada says that Eric was confused and really upset. Rafe remarks that his new girlfriend must be really relieved. Jada assumes so since Nicole made it pretty clear that she did not want her to have the baby.

Johnny questions walking in on EJ and Nicole hugging on his dead grandmother’s bed. Nicole tells him that it’s not what it looks like. Johnny argues that it looks like they just got it on. EJ tells him that he doesn’t understand. Johnny complains that he gets that EJ is grieving, but shouts that it doesn’t give him the right to have sex with Rafe’s wife.

Eric tells Sloan that he does need a lawyer, but points out that Abe is like an uncle to him and Chanel is dating his niece. Sloan argues that Allie should get as far away from possible from Chanel since she killed her mother. Eric brings up Paulina saying it was an accident which Sloan calls a lie. Sloan explains that her father was Chanel’s college professor and that Chanel seduced him. Sloan claims that in a jealous rage, Chanel pushed her mother off a roof and claimed it was suicide. Eric feels that doesn’t sound like Chanel since she’s a good kid. Sloan argues that she’s just hiding her homicidal tendencies. Eric questions why Chanel wasn’t arrested years ago then. Sloan tells him that Paulina covered it up, buried the evidence, and gave the school a generous donation to make it all go away. Sloan adds that her father kept it from her for all those years until he told her the truth on his deathbed. Sloan asks Eric if he believes her. Eric says it’s just a lot to take in. Sloan talks about how her dad couldn’t bear the pain, so he started drinking and eventually drank himself to death but she loved her parents so much and now they are both gone. Sloan asks if Eric knows what it feels like to have what means most to him in the world taken away. Eric responds that he does.

Johnny argues that he knows EJ hates Rafe but he’s a good guy and doesn’t deserve this. Nicole agrees that Rafe is a good guy and says that’s why she would never cheat on him with EJ. Johnny questions what Nicole is doing here if she’s not hooking up with EJ. Nicole responds that it’s simple as she had no place to go.

Paulina questions Abe if there’s no place else to go with this. Abe confirms that he called every one of his oversees contacts but no one can make the charges disappear. Abe adds that he even called one of Shane Donovan’s contacts at the American Embassy in London but she was no help. Paulina argues that what Chanel did was an accident. Abe then gets a call from Cass, the City Council President.

Sloan asks if Eric understands the kind of pain she’s in and if he lost his parents tragically too. Eric says no as his parents are still alive and very much apart of his life. Sloan questions how he can empathize with her then. Eric then informs her that he recently learned he was going to be a father in a complicated situation where he broke up with his ex and she decided she was going to have the baby at first and they agreed to co-parent, so he was really happy, but then she decided to have an abortion and ended her pregnancy before he even knew it was done. Sloan guesses that was very painful. Eric confirms that it was and what added to it was that the woman he loves went behind his back and told his ex to end her pregnancy. Sloan tells Eric that she’s sorry. Sloan guesses something stemming from that situation is what landed him in jail which Eric confirms. Sloan says it sounds like they both got screwed and she’s not the type of person to just roll over and take it. Sloan states that if someone pushes her, she pushes back. Sloan declares that she’s a fighter and she’s willing to fight for him if he lets her.

Rafe questions what exactly Nicole said to Jada. Jada tells him that Nicole asked her why she would want to be tied to a man forever who didn’t love her and reminded her of how incredibly difficult that would be, which shocks Rafe. Jada adds that Nicole then ran down a list of reasons why being a single mom would suck and that she would fail trying to be both a single mom and a cop even with Eric’s support. Rafe cannot believe Nicole did that. Jada says that Nicole was not going to let anything stand in the way of her and Eric, not her, her own marriage, and definitely not her pregnancy.

Johnny questions Nicole and Rafe getting a divorce but EJ tells him that’s none of his concern. Johnny agrees and apologizes for prying and jumping to conclusions about what he walked in on. Nicole says it’s okay and explains that EJ was nice enough to offer her and Holly a place to stay after she blew up her life yet again and that’s all this was. Nicole decides to go shower before heading to the office. EJ questions Johnny not knocking. Johnny says he would have but just didn’t think he needed to. Johnny explains that he wanted to feel close to Susan since they spent a lot of time in this room so he thought maybe he would feel her spirit. EJ offers to move Nicole to a different room but Johnny says that Susan was all about being generous, so she would like that someone he cares about is staying here. Johnny apologizes for going off on him earlier. EJ supposes he can’t blame him for thinking the worst of him after what he learned in Jakarta. EJ asks if Johnny is going to keep quiet about that or if he’s having second thoughts.

Belle tells Shawn that there is so much bad blood between her and Sami, so she doesn’t want to be estranged from Eric too. Shawn says it sounds like she’s made up her mind. Belle says she has but it still concerns Shawn if he doesn’t want her to. Shawn assures that he would never stand in the way of her representing her brother. Belle calls him the best husband ever and kisses him. Shawn says he will go tell Eric that she has decided to take his case but Eric is then brought up by a guard and he informs them that it won’t be necessary. Eric tells Belle that she doesn’t have to defend him because he got someone else. Belle questions who. Sloan then walks in and reveals it’s her.

Abe finishes his call with the City Council President and says he will get back to him with an answer as soon as possible. Paulina and Chanel ask what that was about. Abe reveals that the City Council are asking him to resign as mayor, effective immediately as soon as possible. Paulina questions why they are doing this. Abe says the optics are not good with the Mayor being married to the Governor-elect who has allegedly covered up a murder. Paulina argues that it’s not the truth. Chanel stands up and starts blaming herself for Abe being asked to resign and for Paulina being unable to enjoy her big win. Chanel declares that she’s sorry but she has to go and storms out despite Paulina trying to stop her.

Belle understands Eric is angry with her but tells him not to hire Sloan out of spite and to find anyone else. Belle suggests calling Justin. Sloan jokes that she was in preschool the last time Justin won a case. Belle tells her to shut up. Eric warns her not to talk to his lawyer that way. Belle argues that Eric wouldn’t be defending her if he knew how she operates. Belle asks if he knows what she’s doing to Paulina and Chanel. Sloan asks what about what they did to her. Sloan complains about Chanel murdering her mother and Paulina covering it up. Shawn urges Eric to think about what this would mean to Abe. Eric responds that as far as he knows, Abe is always up for justice. Belle argues that Sloan is only out for revenge and to inflict pain on Abe’s family. Eric declares that from what he understands, Sloan exposed a crime and cover-up, so if anyone is the victim, it’s her.

Rafe questions where the hell Nicole gets off after everything that went down, to lecture Jada about something so personal and private. Jada assures him that the abortion was 100% her decision and if she was ready to be a mother, no one would change her mind about that, especially Nicole. Rafe still feels that Nicole had no right to pressure her. Rafe says he forgot how incredibly selfish Nicole can be when she’s trying to get something she wants. Rafe then remarks that what she wants and has always wanted, is Eric. Rafe guesses now there’s one less obstacle in her way. Jada says she wouldn’t be so sure about that which Rafe questions. Jada tells Rafe that Eric was not too happy that Nicole interfered.

Johnny tells EJ that he will keep his mouth shut. EJ asks about Wendy. Johnny assures she won’t say anything either so EJ has nothing to worry about. EJ thanks him but Johnny says not to thank him because he feels horrible about keeping the secret as he feels Stefan has a right to know. Johnny argues that Dr. Rolf erasing Stefan’s feelings for Gabi is messed up. EJ reminds him that he did not become aware of the brainwashing until after the fact. Johnny remarks that it didn’t stop him from taking advantage of it and using it to take the company back. EJ won’t apologize for doing what’s necessary for his father’s company and his son’s legacy. EJ says this was about family. Johnny adds that family is the only reason that he and Wendy are keeping their mouth shut because Wendy doesn’t want to destroy her brother’s life and he doesn’t want to destroy EJ’s either. Johnny acknowledges that EJ is suffering enough after losing Susan as they all are. Johnny then exits the room.

Abe tries calling Chanel but she doesn’t answer. Abe offers to go find her but Paulina suggests giving her space to calm down. Paulina feels Abe must be asking himself if marrying her was such a good idea. Abe assures that he would never regret marrying her. Paulina asks even if it cost him his career. Abe reminds her that he already planned on stepping down as mayor to move with her to the Capitol. Paulina points out that was before Sloan dropped this bomb on them. Abe says she won’t derail their plans. Paulina complains that they are at the center of an international scandal, so even if she took office, Sloan has ruined her chances of being a successful Governor. Abe says they don’t know that. Paulina declares that there’s no reason for Abe to bow out when she will probably never even be sworn in.

Chanel goes home to her and Allie’s apartment. Johnny shows up asking if Wendy is home. Chanel responds that Wendy is probably at work, Allie is at the Bakery, and she is all alone. Johnny asks what’s going on and if she’s okay. Chanel cries that she’s not and hugs him.

Nicole enters the living room of the DiMera Mansion, where EJ is finishing a call with Melinda, saying that he no longer wishes to press charges against Eric. Nicole thanks him for doing that as she knows how hard it is to resist the urge to stick it to Eric. EJ says he promised her that he would drop the charges and he is a man of his word. Nicole decides she will get going. EJ says he looks forward to seeing her tonight for dinner with a special dessert for Holly. EJ adds that he will have Holly’s room set up right next to Nicole’s. Nicole stops him and says she’s not sure moving in is a good idea.

Belle knows Eric is going through a hard time after spending the night in jail which is where sharks like Sloan search for vulnerable people. Belle is sure Sloan gave Eric her pitch as the best but tells him not to fall for that. Eric asks why she’s making such a big deal of it and points out that he accepted Sloan’s offer because his own sister refused him. Shawn tells Eric that Belle changed her mind and wants to take his case. Eric calls it a little too late. Sloan declares that it’s settled then and says she will take Eric to see about getting the charges dropped. Shawn then gets a call from Melinda. Shawn hangs up and informs them that EJ declined to press charges against Eric. Sloan declares that means there is no case unless Shawn wants to be responsible for prosecuting his brother in law. Shawn responds that it’s not that simple because Melinda is going after Eric for assaulting a police officer, whether he wants her to or not.

EJ thought Nicole wanted to move in. Nicole responds that she did, but now Johnny is accusing them of having an affair which EJ laughs off. Nicole asks if that doesn’t bother him. EJ calls it a misunderstanding. Nicole asks how long it will be before the rest of his family and the entire town start gossiping about them. Nicole says her life is a hot mess right now and she doesn’t want to deal with this. EJ questions since when Nicole gives a rat’s ass about what anyone in Salem thinks. Nicole says she has a young daughter now and she doesn’t want to expose Holly to her getting dirty looks in town. EJ argues that she wouldn’t be doing anything wrong by living here and would be choosing the best possible situation for her family. EJ declares that it’s settled that Nicole and Holly are going to move in and stay for as long as they want and anyone who has an opinion on that can shove it.

Rafe is glad that Jada decided to eat. Jada thanks him for looking out for her. Rafe assures that he will always have her back, on and off the job. Jada appreciates that and says she hopes she didn’t come off petty earlier because no matter how she feels about Nicole, she’s still Rafe’s wife. Rafe says not for much longer. Jada still feels she shouldn’t have gone there. Rafe asks why not and says she has every right to be upset since Nicole basically ruined Jada’s relationship with Eric from day one. Jada then brings up all the times Nicole would drop by and when she offered Eric a job and then the comforting hugs. Rafe jokes about how many times he had to walk in on those. Rafe and Jada mock Eric and Nicole saying they were just friends. Jada declares that she’s never met someone so passive aggressive and selfish. Jada stops and says she’s doing it again. Rafe encourages her to let it all out. Jada admits she loves ripping Nicole but it won’t do any good. Rafe points out that it will feel good. Jada decides if she wants to get past this, she has to rise above. Rafe asks what she means. Jada explains that she had to ask herself what she really wanted and she decided it wasn’t being a single mother under these circumstances. Jada calls it the hardest decision she’s ever made, but she made it and needs to honor her decision by focusing her energy on what she wants so she needs to put any trash talking or negativity aside and be the bigger person like her dad taught her. Rafe calls her dad a wise man. Jada declares that Nicole can have Eric since she obviously wasn’t up to the task. Rafe encourages her not to sell herself short since the fix was in. Jada wishes she knew. Rafe says he did know but he chose to ignore it and looked right past the fact that when you get involved with Nicole or Eric, you choose to end up like all the rest before, just a speedbump on their never ending road to bliss. They joke about finding the next exit. Rafe then gets a call and thanks them for letting him know. Rafe hangs up and informs Jada that Eric spent the night in lockup which shocks Jada.

Eric asks why Shawn can’t just refuse to cooperate with the prosecution. Shawn explains that Melinda has other witnesses from the bar that night and if this goes to trial, she will call him and he will have no choice but to testify. Sloan calls this outrageous. Sloan then steps aside and pulls out her phone to call Melinda. Sloan says she’s calling about her new client, Eric Brady. Sloan reminds Melinda that she just handed her two career making cases and that she owes her which she can make up by putting an end to this witch hunt against Eric. Sloan hangs up and announces that Melinda agreed to drop all charges, so Eric is free to go. Eric is then removed from his handcuffs and tells Sloan that he doesn’t know how to repay her. Sloan jokes that he can use a check, PayPal, or Venmo. Eric asks if they can start with breakfast which Sloan agrees to. Belle argues that Eric can’t just leave as they need to talk. Eric tells her there’s nothing left to say as he then exits the station with Sloan.

Johnny sits with Chanel and tells her that Sloan has to know what happened was an accident, but Chanel tells him that Sloan is convinced it was murder. Johnny asks if she’s talked to her to help her see things from her side. Chanel says Johnny doesn’t understand that Sloan is so angry and hellbent on revenge that she is not going to stop and has made it her life’s mission to take down her, Paulina, and now Abe. Johnny assures that Belle won’t let that happen. Chanel feels it’s already happening and that she’s destroying her parents’ lives.

Abe insists that they will get Paulina out of here and to capitol city and they will weather this storm like they have every other. Abe says that Paulina will be sworn in as Governor and he will be right there by her side as First Gentleman just like they planned. Abe adds that city council may have done him a favor. Abe then calls Cass back to give him his answer. Abe starts to give his answer but Paulina grabs the phone and tells Cass that Abe has decided not to step down now or ever.

Rafe informs Jada that Eric got drunk and assaulted EJ and Shawn. Jada can’t believe it as Eric never even raised his voice so she can’t imagine him putting his hands on anyone, especially a cop. Rafe points out that Jada hasn’t known Eric that long and it’s not the first time he’s spiraled out of control. Rafe tells Jada that she dodged a bullet and says something tells him that this is just the beginning of Saint Eric’s fall from grace.

Eric and Sloan have breakfast together in the town square. Eric talks about how the food in lockup was not great. Eric thanks her again and says he really appreciates this. Nicole approaches and says she’s glad to see he’s out and that EJ dropped the charges. Eric assures her that EJ had nothing to do with it and that it’s all thanks to his lawyer. Sloan then introduces herself to Nicole and says it’s a pleasure to meet her. Sloan adds that she knows exactly who Nicole is and brings up all her last names from her previous marriages. Sloan remarks that like her, Nicole’s reputation precedes her.

Belle tells Shawn that seeing Eric like this really scares her. Shawn assures that Eric can handle Sloan. Belle asks what about his pain and brings up the last time Eric was in a place this dark and how some really bad things happened. Shawn encourages that Eric’s come a long way since then and now he’s in a rough patch, but he will get through it. Belle prays that he’s right. Belle decides she better go since Paulina is waiting for her. Shawn offers to go with her to help explain Eric’s choice in lawyer. Belle says she’s got it and she will assure Abe that Sloan may have gotten her tentacles in to Eric but she won’t let her cause any more damage to his family.

Abe questions what Paulina is doing. Paulina tells Cass that Abe is staying put and he doesn’t have to worry about any trouble arising from Abe being married to her, because she won’t be Governor. Paulina says she knows she’s been elected but she hasn’t been sworn in yet and she has decided that she never will be.

Johnny questions why Chanel didn’t tell him any of this when they were together. Chanel says she was ashamed about having an affair with a married man and didn’t want anyone to know about it. Johnny says they never would’ve judged her. Chanel says she knows that now but she thought all of this was behind her until Sloan showed up in town and she got arrested in the middle of the town square. Johnny is sorry he wasn’t there for that and says he left Salem at the worst time because he wasn’t there for Chanel or when his grandma Susan died. Chanel is surprised to hear Susan died. Johnny questions Allie not telling her. Chanel guesses she didn’t want to lay anything else on her. Chanel tells Johnny that she’s so sorry as she knows how much Johnny loved Susan. Chanel says she’s going on about her life while Johnny must be hurting so bad. Johnny admits that he is and so is his dad.

EJ looks through his laptop for the quarterly projections and then complains of a headache. EJ looks over at a framed photo of Susan until the doorbell rings. EJ goes to answer the door and is shocked by who he sees…

Y&R Update Thursday, December 8, 2022

Young & The Restless Update

Y&R logo

Update written by Barbara

Sally is about to go into Society and when she notices Nick outside, she almost leaves.

Sally tells Nick she can get her own table but Nick says he’s still working through something regarding them but he could use company while he “crushes some pancakes.”

Michael and Lauren are at Society and make small talk with Sally and Nick. When Sally and Nick head to their table, Lauren speculates about their bond. Michael is busy reading the breakfast menu and deciding if he wants a frittata or crabcakes benedict.  He has zero interest in Sally and Nick.  The only thing on his mind is food. Lauren continues to wonder what’s going on between Sally and Nick.

At their table, Sally mentions that she can feel Lauren staring  and Nick tells her that as a Newman, he has learned not to care about the scrutiny. She asks if he’s read everything that Victor’s people found about her. He says that he has. She tells him that she has been involved shady dealings, some of which he may not know about, and offers to tell him about everything if he wants.

Summer arrives and grimaces at seeing her dad with Sally.  Summer goes over to their table and asks to speak with her dad alone. Sally excuses herself and says she has to call Chloe.  Sally goes to the front of the restaurant holding her phone as if she’s talking to Chloe, all the while watching Nick and Summer like a hawk.

As Summer sits down, Nick talks to her about Sally turning her life around and reminds Summer that she has done some nasty things, such as making Kyle marry her the first time so she would give part of her liver to Lola, who he was in love with at the time.  Nick says that Sally deserves a shot at redemption as did Summer.

Summer is leery, although Nick insists that Sally regrets her past entanglemen with Summer. She tells her dad she thinks Sally’s after his money but he explains that he offered Sally a lot of money to start her new business endeavor but she turned him down and wouldn’t even take a loan.

Sally goes over to Lauren and Michael’s table, where Lauren says she’s sorry about Sally having lost the job at Newman Media.  Michael agrees with Lauren’s decision to give Sally a second chance after her misdeeds.  Sally is appreciative and tells her that she’s not going back into designing. Lauren asks her about it and she tells her that she’s got “something percolating.”

After Sally leaves, Michael gets a ping from his phone that there’s a text. Before he even opens it, Lauren knows who it is and tells him to say hello to Victor for her. Victor’s text says that he needs to talk to Michael and it’s urgent. Lauren is not happy about the situation, but understands that Michael takes his business with Victor very seriously.

At the Abbott house, Jack and Diane talk about the weather. She’s upbeat and thanks him for letting her stay over. When he comments about how early she must have gotten up, she tells him she did to avoid giving a wrong impression.

Ashley comes into the living room and angrily demands to know what’s going on.

Diane leaves for the office while Ashley fumes. Jack asks her if she had anything to do with Jeremy Stark showing up at their house and she throws a question back at him about whether DIane’s staying there just to get into his bed. She also tells him that she had nothing to do with Stark being in town. Next, Kyle comes into the living room and reveals that he confronted Stark the night before in his hotel room at The Grand Phoenix.

Jack worries because that’s where Diane lives. He gets on the phone to have someone bring Diane home from work.  For his part, Kyle is furious that his mom has been put in danger.

Ashley gets a text from Tucker asking her to meet and she texts back “yes”.

At Crimson Lights, Victoria and Nikki talk about Nick and how distracted he is about Sally having been fired.   Nikki looks past Victoria and gasps at seeing Jeremy Stark. When Nikki tells her who she sees, Victoria knows that he’s a money launderer.  Nikki tells Victoria that he just got out of prison and her involvement in his arrival in Genoa City is “complicated”. Stark looks at them, Nikki becomes uncomfortable, suggests to Victoria that they discuss  the matter elsewhere and the two women beat a hasty retreat out of the coffee house, scurrying past Stark.

At Jabot, Diane finds Phyllis knocking at Jack’s office door. Phyllis tells her that Jack’s not there and Phyllis will wait for him so she can clear some things up with him. She starts mocking Diane’s sobbing from the previous day and Diane relishes telling Phyllis that she spent the night at Jack’s home.

Phyllis asks Diane if she had sex with Jack. Diane puts on a demure show before admitting that she slept in a guest room. When Phyllis asks why, Diane tells her that Jack has become concerned about the threat of Jeremy Stark. The elevator door opens and who gets off, but Stark.

When introduced to Phyllis and Diane, Stark asks the women if they’re friends. In unison, they say a resounding “no”.

Stark says Phyllis’ voice seems familiar, to which she responds that she just has “one of those voices.”

Phyllis turns to go and a scared Diane asks her to stay, saying that she has something to talk to her about.  Phyllis refuses to stick around, leaving Diane alone with Stark.

At the Newman office, Nikki fills Victoria in on everything that happened, culminating in  Phyllis letting Stark know where he could find Diane.  They continue talking about the situation when Victor arrives.

He tells them that he heard Jeremy Stark is in town, informs them that he is dangerous and “the threat is real”.  He says that Stark will not be allowed in Newman Tower or at the ranch. He also tells them to cut ties with Phyllis.

The elevator door opens and Michael rushes out, asking Victor what’s going on.  Victor says that he wants him to find out everything he can about Jeremy Stark.

Over at Jabot, Diane tries to get Stark to leave and when he won’t, she rushes him into Jack’s office.  He starts issuing threatening remarks to Diane and ultimately reveals that all he wants is for her to give him his money back. He tells her that it is all the money he has, that it was his last shipment and that he knows it was not confiscated by the feds and remained in Diane’s possession.

Diane tells Stark that she does not have his money anymore because she used it to rebuild her life after he left her “high and dry.”  She says that she kept waiting for the feds to come and lock her up for crimes that he made her do. Stark yells that the money was not hers to spend.  Jack arrives and looks horrified seeing Stark in the office with Diane.

Young & The Restless Update

Update written by Barbara

In Tucker’s suite, he and Audra talk about Jeremy Stark being in Genoa City and Tucker mentions mutual connections giving him leverage on Diane Jenkins.

At the Glam Club, Adam and Noah have an uncomfortable encounter after which Noah sees Audra arriving.  She tells him that she wants him back. She gets all dreamy eyed and says they can try again and find everlasting love. Then she kisses him. At first, Noah kisses her back but then he pushes her away and states that there’s no future for them. He reminds her that he has a girlfriend and says that he has finally found happiness again. Audra tries to get through to Noah about what they could have together and when he shuts her down she sadly says “message received” and leaves.

Over at Crimson Lights, Billy comes upon Lily with Daniel. Awkward. Daniel invites Billy to join them, but Lily sarcastically says that Billy must be tired after his latest mission of mercy for Chelsea. Lily says she plans to go back to work, tells Billy that she doesn’t know how late she’s going to be and not to wait up for her.

After Billy leaves, Daniel invites Lily to have dessert with him – red velvet cupcakes – (compliments of Sharon) and they spend time together, smiling and laughing.

Billy goes to the Glam Club and runs into Adam there, drinking alone. Adam needles Billy about Lily dumping him since it has become non-stop “The Billy and Chelsea Show”.

Adam tells Billy to take a step back from Chelsea, but Billy says he can’t do that and the two guys trade barbs.  Adam leaves and Billy warns Noah that Adam seems to be slipping into his “dark prince” ways again.

Afterward, Adam bumps into Lily and Daniel at Crimson Lights and tries to strike a nerve with Lily over Billy and Chelsea being “attached at the hip”. However, all this does is anger her and she stomps out of the coffee house, with Daniel right behind her.

At the Abbott house, Diane accepts Jack’s offer to stay in a guest room as she breaks down in Jack’s arms and sobs about Jeremy Stark coming after her.  Jack gets a text and Diane freaks when he says he has to go back to Jabot for to take care of a quick business matter.

Jack tells Diane that she’s safe there at the Abbott house, which has a sophisticated security system that’s armed. After he leaves, however, she gets spooked by every little noise she hears and worries that Jeremy is lurking around the grounds. She paces in the living room, looks out the front door nervously, and sees that there’s nobody outside.

When Jack goes to Jabot, he finds Phyllis there and demands to know if she contacted Jeremy to tell him Diane’s whereabouts. They get into a *huge* argument, yelling at the top of their lungs, about whether she did or did not tip Jeremy off to where he could find Diane. Phyllis shrieks about being vilified while Diane is always the victim.

Jack tells her that Jeremy came to the Abbott house, under the same roof where their grandson Harrison lives, and a look of concern crosses her face.

As their fight becomes even more heated, Jack tells Phyllis that she’s employed under the Jabot umbrella because he approved it.  “I am Jabot,” he yells at her.  After he points out Marchetti is a subsidiary of Jabot, he warns Phyllis that he’ll throw her out of the building if any harm comes to Kyle, Summer, Harrison or Diane.

When Jack returns home, he finds Diane asleep on the couch and startles her.

Audra knocks on the door of Tucker’s suite. He opens the door in his robe and is surprised that she’s showed up again. She takes off her coat to reveal sensual lingerie and they start kissing.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

No offense dear Meemaw God, but this is disgusting. I thought you were getting used to it. Did I say that? Mm-hmm. . You also said that you were starting to feel better, which proves that while my grandmother’s hangover recipe may not win any points for, uh, It does work if you say so. Have I ever stayed you wrong?

Oh, too many times to count . Ouch. I’m just kidding. Ej. Now you were really kind to me last night. You needed a friend

and frankly, so did I. Oh, I’m glad I could be there for, Back at you, Ms. Walker. Back at you

What’s going on here?

You there? Fuss? What are you doing here? Well, hi. Could you call in sick for a second day in a row? Just wanna make sure you’re okay. That’s very nice of you. But I, I’m fine. Uh, the doctor who did the procedure said I can go back to work tomorrow. I see. So, uh, guess that means, yeah, I, uh, I got the abortion, so you want to be my lawyer.

You just said your sister won’t represent. I have other options. None better than me. Is that so? Oh, it’s so since you don’t believe it, why don’t you hire me for yourself and find out?

Good morning. Hey Abe. Hi sweetheart. How you holding up? Well, I am missing our king size bed. Thousand threads. Count sheets, but I’m hanging in there. And what about you, kiddo? Must have been nice spending the night at home. I’m very grateful that bail got me out on bail, but I will not be okay until mama is free.

They never should have arrested her in the first place. They need to let her go. Abraham, please, please tell us. You have some good news on that front. I’m afraid. Not

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

Hey. Hey. If you’re looking for Paul, the Chanels in there with her now. Yeah, no, I let her go ahead of me. I just saw Abe go in there too. Do you want me to go in there and break it up? Uh, no. No. It’ll do Paul, some good to spend some time with her family and. That’ll give us some time to talk about my brother.

Yeah. Yeah. When we went for that drink, I, uh, I wasn’t expecting to walk in on that. Yeah. Nicole picking EJ up off the floor after Eric Dham. Neither did I. Yeah. It was so strange, strange seeing him like that. And he was belligerent to hangry and been drinking and assaulting people, including you. No, I, I hated the way that he behaved and.

How outta control he was. But I don’t know. My heart is just breaking for him. You know, I, I can see how much pain he’s in, and now you’re having second thoughts about not taking his case. I just can’t get the image outta my head, you know, my big brother sitting in jail all alone with nobody in his corner.

So what do you. I don’t know if that would be such a good idea because of my reputation. I try not to judge people, but when everyone and their mother calls me an ambulance chaser, it’s hard. I get it. But the thing that all those haters fail to mention is I tend to catch what I chase.

You sure? You don’t want anything to eat? No, I’m not hungry. You sure you’re feeling okay? I walked in. I couldn’t help but notice you were taking a pill. Oh, they’re, they’re just for. Which is basically gone. I just feel terrible about missing work. I mean, the department’s understaffed as it is. No, no, no. Jay, listen to me.

What’s important to me is that you take care of yourself. Listen, if you’re not ready to come back to work, no, I am hanging around. Here is the last thing I want to do.

If you wanna ask me something, just. Ask. I don’t mind talking to you about this. Okay. All right. Yeah, it’s just tough. On Thanksgiving, you told me that you decided that you weren’t gonna keep the baby, and I know that Eric hooked, otherwise. He did. But in the end, I, I had to do a space for me, which was totally your right.

I assume Merick understands that yes, but he was still not happy that I had changed my mind and ended the pregnancy without telling him. Was he angry? No, he was confused, very upset.

His new girlfriend on the other hand, must be very relieved. I would assume so. Nicole made it pretty clear that she did not want me to have the baby.

Somebody’s gonna answer me. I mean, I walk in here and find you two hugging on my dead grandmother’s bed. Yes, Johnny. It’s not what it looks like really? Cuz it looks like the two of you just got it on. Johnny, you don’t understand. Fuck Dad. I get that you’re grieving. Okay. But it doesn’t give you the right to have sex with RA’s wife.

Yes, I do need a lawyer. Paulina Price’s husband is like an uncle to me and her daughter is dating my niece. Boy, your niece should get as far away as possible from Chanel Dupree. She killed my mother. I know I heard you get in into it with Paulina, but she said it was an accident. Oh, that is a complete lie.

My father was Chanel’s College Profess. That little slut seduced him, a married man twice her age with two children, and then in a jealous reach, she pushed my mother off the roof of the building and claimed it was suicide. That doesn’t sound like Chanel. I mean, she’s a good kid. Oh, well obviously that good kid is adapt to hiding her homicidal tendencies.

You know, most those all sociopaths are these actual events occurred that why wasn’t she arrested years ago? Because Paulina covered. She buried the evidence. She gave the school a very generous donation to make it all go away, and my father kept that secret for me for a very long time. But honest Buddy told me the truth, which I’m telling you right now.

You do believe me. Yeah, it’s just a lot to take in.

I didn’t do it.

My dad couldn’t bear the pain, so he started drinking, eventually drank himself to death.

I loved my parents so much. Now they’re both gone.

You know what? It feels like you have what means most to you in this school? Taken. Yes, I do.

Look, I know you don’t like Rafe, but he’s a good guy. He doesn’t deserve this. Rafe is a good guy, which is why I would never cheat on him with your father. No offense. No. Take him. Okay. Well, Nicole, if you’re not hooking up with my dad, then what are you doing? Simple. I had no place to go. So there’s no place else to go with this.

I called everyone in my overseas contacts. Oh, no one can work any jurisdictional magic and make these charges disappear. What about even the people you know in Scotland? Unfortunately none. Their hands are tied. I even called one of Shane Donovan’s contacts at the American Embassy in in London, and was he any help?

She, and unfortunately, no. Come on. Don’t they understand that what Chanel did was it was an accident. Excuse me. Oh, gas winter. What city? Council president. I wonder what he wants. One way to find out,

do you understand the kind of pain that I’m in? Did you lose your parents tragically? No, you’re very much alive and still a part of my life. And how can you empathize with me? Because I recently learned I was going to be a father. It was a complicated situation. I broke up with my ex and she decided she was gonna have the baby first.

And way we agreed we were gonna co-parent. I was really happy

she decided to have an abortion. She had entered her pregnancy before I even knew it was done. That must have been very painful. Yes, it was. And compounding the pain. It’s the woman that I love went behind my back and she told my act to her pregnancy. I’m sorry.

I am guessing something stemming from that situation is what, uh, landed you in this posh establishment. Give the lady a price. Sounds like we both got screwed. I don’t know about you, but I’m not the type of person to just roll over and take it. Someone pushes me, I push back. I’m a fighter and I’m willing to fight for you if you’d let me.

Well, what exactly did Nicole say to you? Well, she asked me why I’d wanna be tied to a man forever. Who didn’t love me, and she reminded me of how incredibly difficult that would be. What, yeah. And then she ran down a list of reasons of why single motherhood would suck, and that even if I, you know, had this baby and was juggling a child and being a cop, that I would feel at both, even with Eric’s support, I cannot believe Nicole did that I can, she was not going to let anything stand in the way between her and Eric.

Not me, not her marriage to you. I’m definitely not my pregnancy. You and Rafer getting divorced. What? Johnny? Johnny, that’s none of your concern. You’re right. You’re right. And, uh, sorry for prying Nicole, and I’m sorry for jumping to conclusions about what I walked in on. It’s okay. EJ was nice enough to offer me and Holly a place to stay after I blew up my life yet again.

That’s all this was. Now if you gentlemen will excuse me. Um, I’m gonna go take a shower and get to the office.

Well, that was awkward. Ever hear of knocking? Yeah. Yeah. I would have. I just didn’t think I needed to. I, I wanted to feel close to, uh, grandma Susan. She and I spent a lot of time together in this room, and I thought maybe I’d feel her spirit or something. I don’t know. It was, it was dumb. No, it’s not dumb and all.

Son, would you like me to move Nicole to a different room? No, no, no. Grandma was, she was all about being generous. She’d liked that someone you care about staying here and I’m sorry for going off on you earlier. Ah, I suppose I can’t blame you for thinking the worst of me, given what you learned in Jakarta, that Lee and Rolf brainwashed your brother and you kept quiet.

I was under the impression that you were going to keep quiet about it as well. I hope you’re not having second thoughts, son. There’s just so much bad blood between Sammy and me. The last thing I want is to be estranged from Eric too. Well, it sounds like you’ve made up your mind. Well, I have, but this still concerns you.

So if you don’t want me to, Hey, Val, listen to me. I would never wanna stand in the way of you representing your. All right. I want you to do what you feel is right. You are the best husband ever, . All right, I’ll go tell Eric that you decided to take his case. That right, it won’t be necessary. I’m sorry. You don’t have to defend me, sis.

I heard someone else. Who

me.

I see. Well, uh, thank you for reaching out to me directly gas. Oh, yes, yes. I’ll, I’ll, uh, I’ll get back to you with an answer as soon as. Please do not tell me he’s asking you to cut some damn ribbon when your family’s in crisis. It’s a bit more pressing than that. Well, what is it, Abe? The city council is asking me to resign as mayor effective immediately.

The city council is asking you to resign as soon as possible. Well, why? Why? Why are they doing this? Well, the way ca put it, the optics are not good. The mayor of being married to the governor elect, who allegedly is covering up a murder, optics are not the truth. Now, someone over there asked to know that I’m the reason, I’m the reason why they want Abe to reside, and I’m the reason why you can’t enjoy your big win.

Oh, no baby. No, no. I’m sorry mama. I have to go. Hello. Chanel. Chanel.

Okay, Eric, you’re angry with me. That’s fine. Be angry, but do not hire this snake out of spite. Find someone else. Anyone else you call Justin. Kek. I think I was in preschool the last time. That guy won a case. Shut up. Hey, don’t talk to my lawyer that way. Well, you wouldn’t be defending her if you knew how she operated.

Do you know what she’s doing to Paul and Chanel what I’m doing to them? How about what they did to me? That little slut murdered my mother and then her mommy goes and papered over her with hush money. Okay, Eric, if nothing. Think about what hiring her is gonna say to Abe. As far as I know, Abe’s always up for justice.

Yeah. Well, Sloan’s not out for justice. She’s out for revenge. And anything that will inflict the most amount of pain on Abe’s family. Yeah. From what I understand, Ms. Peterson here, she exposed a crime and coverup. So if anyone’s the victim, it’s her.

Hey, where the hell does Nicole get? After everything that went down. Instead of leaving you alone, she decides to lecture you especially about something that’s so personal and so private free. Listen, don’t misunderstand me, it was 100% my decision to have this abortion. If I was ready to be a mother, no one, especially Nicole would change my mind about that.

Okay? Yeah, that’s fine. But she’s still, she had no right to pressure you. Oh man. You know, I forgot how incredibly selfish Nicole can be when she’s trying to get something that she wants. And what she wants and has always wanted is Eric,

well, this, now there’s one less obstacle on her way. I wouldn’t be so sure about that. What does that mean? Let’s just say. Eric wasn’t too happy when he found out that she interfered.

I told you, I’ll keep my mouth shut and I will. What about Lee’s little sister? Wendy’s not gonna say anything. You need to look, relax. Got nothing to worry about.

Thank you, son. Don’t, don’t thank me. I feel horrible about keeping this secret. I think Stephan has a right. So you said, yeah, I’ll say it again. What Ralph did, erasing Stephan’s memories for Gabby. That’s messed up. Like I said before, I didn’t become aware of the brainwashing until after the fact. Didn’t stop from taking advantage of it, using it to take the company back, and I will not apologize for that.

For doing what was absolutely necessary to protect father’s company and your legacy. This was about family Giovanni. Is the only reason Wendy and I are keeping our mouth shut as wrong as we both think this is. She doesn’t wanna destroy your brother’s life, and I I don’t wanna destroy yours either.

You’re suffering enough after losing Grandma. We all are.

Well, Chanel’s not picking up. You want me to go find her? No, no. Give her a little space. She’ll calm down. But you, you must be asking yourself if jumping that broom with me on Juneteenth for such a good idea. You wouldn’t, would never regret marrying you. Even if, um, I’m about to cost you your. You know, I already intended to step down as mayor and accompany you to the state capitol.

That was before Sloane Peterson dropped this bomb on us. Well, she’s not going to derail plans. Oh, hey babe. Come on. We’re at the center of an international scandal. Now, even if I took off that, which has already ruined my chances of being a successful governor, oh, we don’t know that. Well, here’s what I do.

There’s absolutely no reason for you to bow out when I’ll probably never even be sworn in.

Hey, uh, is, is Wendy home? Uh, no. I, I think that she probably went to work and. Ali is at the bakery and I, I’m all alone. Chanelle, what’s going on? You okay? Ho? No I’m not.

You hurt me correctly, Ms. Trask. I no longer wish to press charges against Eric Brady. I see no reason to continue to waste our time or the taxpayer’s money on such an unfortunate. Thank you for doing that. I know how hard it is to resist the urge to stick it to Eric. I promised you I dropped the charges and I’m nothing if not a man of my word, generally speaking.

Of course, . Of course. Well, I’m gonna get going. I look forward to seeing you tonight for dinner. I’ll have chef. Make us up a nice dinner with a special dessert for Holly. Oh, and I’ve also asked Harold to get her room ready right next to yours. Of course, ej, uh, about us moving in. Mm-hmm. , I’m not sure it’s a good idea.

Eric, listen to me. I know that you’re going through a hard time right now. I’m fine. No, you’re not. You just spent the night in jail, which is where sharks like Sloan Peterson spend their time circling trying to get to vulnerable people like you, please. And I’m sure she gave you her big pitch about how she’s the best, right?

But don’t fall for that. Why are you making such a big deal? Except that her offer, because my own sister refused. Bella wants to take your case. You changed her mind, Eric. Yeah. We’re a little too late for that, isn’t it? Okay, great. Then unsettled. So why don’t we walk across the street and see about getting these ridiculous charges dropped?

Sounds like a good idea. It’s trash. Detective Brady,

and what if I choose not to?

Okay. All right. All right. I’ll let them out. What was that about? Well, uh, EJ declined pressing charges against Eric. Excellent. That means the DA doesn’t have a case unless you want to be responsible for prosecuting your brother-in-law. It’s not that simple. Why? What do you mean? SK is going after Eric for assaulting a police officer, whether I wanted to or not.

I thought you wanted to move in. I did, but ej now your son is accusing us of having an affair . So, so that, that doesn’t bother you. It was a misunderstanding. Well, even if it was how, how long until the rest of your family starts gossiping about us and then the entire town. Look . My life is a hot mess.

Right now, and, and I really, I don’t wanna deal with this since when does Nicole Walker give a rat’s ass what anyone in Sadam thinks? Uh, since I now have a young daughter, but not so young that she wouldn’t notice dirty looks when I drop her off at school. Or whispers and finger pointing when we walk through the square.

I just don’t wanna expose Holly to that. Would you be doing anything wrong by living?

No. Would you be choosing the best possible situation for your family, I suppose then it’s settled. You and Holly are going to move in here and you can stay for as long as you want. Anyone who has an opinion on that can bloody well shove it.

Glad you decided to eat something. Thanks for looking out for me, boss Hunter. I will always have your back on the job or off. I appreciate that and I hope I didn’t come off as petty earlier. No matter how I feel about Nicole, I mean she is still your wife, not for much longer even so I shouldn’t have gotten.

I heck not. I mean, it’s understandable. You have every right to be upset. She, uh, she basically ruined your relationship with Eric from day one. Yeah. You meet with all her unannounced visits to his room or her decision to offer him a job, or better yet to come over and give him another comforting hug. Oh, those were great, weren’t they?

I loved walking in on those, but, but, but remember, we’re just friends. Yeah. Friends who can’t keep their hands or lips off of each other. I mean, Eric said that he was in denial about his feelings about her, and I believe that, but Nicole , you’re right. You know, I don’t think I’ve ever met a more passive aggressive, just selfish.

Sorry, I’m doing it again. No, no, no. Hey, go ahead. Let all out. As much as I love to keep ripping, Nicole, it’s, it’s just not productive, but it’ll feel good. Mm. Not in the long. If I really wanna get past this, I have to rise above. Meaning when I made this decision, I, I had to ask myself, what is it that I really want?

And I decided that it wasn’t being a single mother, not under these circumstances.

It was the hardest decision that I’ve ever made that I, I made it and. I need to honor my decision by focusing all my energy on creating the life that I want. You know, so any trash talking negative self pity, I, I just need to put that aside and do what my daddy taught me and be the bigger person there.

Go d your daddy Marks, he was a wise man. Yeah. So I mean, Nicole. Eric, no more power to her. Obviously, I, I wasn’t up to the task. Don’t sell yourself. Sure. Fix was in. I wish I would’ve known. No, I did know and I chose to ignore it. You know, I, I looked right past the fact that when you get involved with Nicole Walker or Eric Brady, you choose to end up like all the rest that have come before.

Just a speed bump on their never ending road toss. Uh, well, gps let assistant know where the next exit is. . , get me the heck outta here, right? Oh man. Sorry,

Fernandez.

Okay. All right. Okay, well, uh, thanks a lot for letting me.

Something up at the station. Yeah, I guess you could say that Eric, spend the night in lockup. What, Sean? Why can’t you just refuse to cooperate with prosecution? Look, Trask has other witnesses from the bar that night. If this goes to trial, she’s gonna call me and I’m gonna have no choice but to testify.

This is outrageous. Who are you calling?

Melinda? SLM Peterson. No, actually I’m calling about my new client, Eric Brady. No, you listen. I just handed you not one, but two career making cases.

And you can settle up by putting an end to this witch hunt against Mr. Brady

Trask. Agreed to drop all the charges, so said I’m free to go. Yes, sir.

I don’t even know how to pay you. Oh, personal check. Venmo, PayPal. We start with breakfast. . I’d like that. Hey Eric, you can’t just leave. We need to talk. There’s nothing left to say.

And surely this, this Sloan person has to know that her mother’s death was an accident. No, she doesn’t. She’s convinced that it’s murder. Can’t you talk to her, help her see things from your side? Oh no. Gee, you don’t understand. She is so angry, so hell bent on revenge that she is not gonna stop. She’s not gonna give.

She is determined to take me down. She has made that her life’s mission. Me and now my mom and Abe, my Aunt Bell will not let that happen. What is already happening? I am destroying my parents’ lives. Yeah. You listen to me, Mrs. Carver. We will get you out of here and get you to Capitol City and we will weather this.

Just like we have every other since you captured my heart. Okay. Okay. You’ll be sworn in as governor and I’ll be right there by your side as first gentleman. Just like we planned. You know, the city council. City Council may have done me a favor. What are you doing? Giving them my answer. Hello Cass. I just wanted to, uh, Give the city council my answer to what they’ve asked of me, and I’ve been, and he has decided he’s not going to step down, not now, not ever.

Eric got drunk and assaulted EJ and. I can’t, Eric’s never even raised his voice. I can’t imagine him putting hands on anyone, let alone a cop. No, you haven’t known Eric that long. It’s not the first time that this guy has spiraled outta control. Really? Oh yeah. He dodged a bullet hunter and something tells me that this is just the beginning of St.

Eric’s fall from.

Whoa. Whoa, buddy. Slow down there. Big guy. Sorry. The food and lockup was akin to something that a cat regurgitated. I was gonna say not great, but yeah, I can be, uh, overly blunt at time some. Sure. You find that very unappealing. Absolutely not. It works for you. It works for me too. And thank you again. I really appreciate this.

Hey, Eric. I’m, I’m glad to see you out. DJ told me he dropped the charges. He had nothing to do with getting me outta lockup, my lawyer did. Thank you. Sloan Peterson, Al Squire. Pleasure to meet you. Nicole Walker. I’m Oh, I know exactly who you are. Mrs. Robbins, Roberts, Keka Dam. Cook Brady Hernandez. I forgetting.

Anybody like me, your reputation precedes you.

Oh, seeing Eric, like this just really scares me. He can handle Sloan maybe, but what about his. You know, he was drinking and driving the last time he was in a place this dark, some really bad things happened. I know. Listen, I understand your concern, honey, but Eric’s come a long way since then. Yes, right now he’s love a rough patch, but he’s gonna get through it.

I pray. You’re right. You have that go Pauline’s waiting for me. You want me to go with you? Help explain, uh, Eric’s choice of attorney. Uh, no, I think I got it. I will. Tell Abe that even though Sloane got her tentacles into my brother, there’s no way in hell I’m gonna let her cause any more damage to his family.

Paulina, what are you doing? You heard me? Councilman Winthrop, my husband is staying put. No, no. You don’t have to worry about any trouble arising from a being married to a governor at an invest. How can I be so sure easy? Because I won’t be Governor Beth. I know. I know. I’ve been elected, but I haven’t been sworn in yet, and I’ve decided that I never will be.

Why didn’t you tell me any of this when we were together? Because I was ashamed. I had an affair with a married man, and I didn’t want anyone know about it. Not you, not Allie, remember, would’ve judged you. I know that now. I honestly thought that all of this was behind me, and then this Sloan Peterson showed up in town and, and then all of a sudden I’m being arrested in the middle of the square.

I’m so sorry I wasn’t here for that. I left Salem at the worst time possible. I I wasn’t here for you. I wasn’t here when my grandma Susan died. What? Your, your grandma died. Allie didn’t tell you? No, but she, she probably didn’t wanna lay anything else on me, but I am so sorry Johnny. I know how much you loved her.

I did.

I mean, I’m just going on about my life and, and you, you’re, you must be hurting so bad. I am. Yeah. Um, so is my dad, coach Lee Projections. I know they’re here somewhere. Oof.

So much for instantaneous relief.

I’ll get it housed.

Oh my God.

GH Update Tuesday, December 6, 2022

General Hospital Updates

GH logo

Update written by Dustin

At General Hospital, Portia informed Stella that everything looked good on her annual checkup. Marshall was with Stella, and Portia took the opportunity to ask (in front of Stella) if he had given more thought to genetic counseling. Marshall tried to reassure Portia that he didn’t need a reevaluation and that he was at peace. Marshall politely asked Portia to respect his wishes.  Stella too agreed that Portia should respect Marshall’s privacy.

In Jordan’s office at the PCPD, Curtis hand delivered an invitation to his and Portia’s wedding. Curtis grew angry when Jordan said she couldn’t “protect” Curtis’ family.  A poor choice of words from Jordan because it left Curtis believing she was speaking about the Hook killer and Trina, when she was actually speaking of Trina’s true paternity.  Curtis yelled at Jordan, and he accused her of keeping secrets from him again. Rory entered to provide Jordan with reports, including one for her to sign off on which detailed police plans for the city on Christmas Eve. A furious Curtis left as Jordan would not give him any details on what she had meant by her comments. On Curtis’ way out, he told Jordan not to forget to RSVP to the wedding. Later, Jordan stared at the invitation for a long time before she eventually used a pen to check the box marked “regretfully declines.”

At Rice Plaza, Ava took Trina shopping. Rory appeared, and Ava left them alone for a moment. Rory asked Trina to go with him to a nice dinner for their three-month anniversary, which Trina seemed to have forgotten.

Trina thanked Rory for having always believed in her innocence, and they finalized plans for dinner. Rory left, and Ava and Trina picked up their conversation where they had left off. Ava asked Trina to tell her what was on her mind, and Trina admitted that she hadn’t been able to stop thinking about Spencer. Ava remarked that Spencer was still weeks away from being released from Pentonville and that Trina could use that time to prioritize and take stock of her life and what she wanted from it. Ava said she envied Trina. Ava said that having a man who worked an honest job was a blessing.  She added that complicated men create nothing but chaos. Ava thought it was best if she and Trina avoided those kinds of men altogether. The two parted ways.

Also at Rice Plaza, Eileen had whispered to Victor that the necklace had been destroyed. Victor reminded Eileen that her primary function was to keep Laura distracted, and Eileen replied that she had pulled the necessary strings.

Victor walked away, and struck up a conversation with Ava. The two talked about love, and Ava accused Victor of having never experienced true love. Victor said that when Ava was free from Nikolas, perhaps there would be hope for Victor and Ava. Ava pointedly reminded Victor that her marriage to Nikolas wasn’t over, and she asked what Victor would use to hold over Nikolas’ head, since Esme was still alive. Victor remarked that he wouldn’t need to coerce Nikolas into a divorce because Nikolas was already showing signs of moving on.

At Pentonville, Cyrus noted that Spencer had kept his distance since Victor’s visit. Spencer naively said that Cyrus had been out of line for having suggested that Victor was responsible for the attempt on Laura and Martin’s lives, and he defended Victor.

Cyrus hoped that his friendship with Spencer would continue after Spencer was released. Cyrus then produced a ring-sized box, and slid it across the table. Spencer said that he was uncomfortable taking a gift from Cyrus, who revealed that the gift was for Trina. It was a pair of white, turtle doves.

Spencer said that Trina would love them. However, he thought that he had caused Trina enough pain and had decided to stay away from Trina forever. Cyrus encouraged Spencer to take the gift and for Spencer to follow his heart. Just then, Victor entered the room, and he scowled at Cyrus. Cyrus started to leave, but Victor asked him to stay to hear what he had to say. “I have some news about my great-nephew’s future,” Victor exclaimed.

Elsewhere at Rice Plaza, Alexis tried to get Finn to open up to her about where things stood between him and Elizabeth. Finn informed Alexis that the man Reiko had an affair with had been Elizabeth’s father.  Alexis asked Finn to tell her more and asked where that left Finn and Elizabeth.  But, Finn did not answer her inquiries.

Their talk then turned to Alexis’ coverage of the Hook killer, and Alexis said that while it was not at all abnormal for Elizabeth to be on the pier waiting for a launch to Wyndemere, she couldn’t understand why Esme had been spotted there.  She wondered aloud what Esme had been doing there and why she hadn’t been seen since.  Finn said that he knew there was a history between Elizabeth and Nikolas and that Elizabeth trusted him.  But, Finn made it clear that he did not trust him and couldn’t stand the fact that Elizabeth did.

At Wyndemere, Nikolas had phoned Elizabeth to check on Esme. Elizabeth was worried when she found Esme “unconscious” on the bed after learning that Esme’s prenatal vitamins had all disappeared. Elizabeth and Nikolas thought that Esme might have swallowed the entire bottle of vitamins, and Elizabeth said that if that were true, Esme’s stomach would need to be pumped. Esme jumped up, and screamed at Elizabeth to stay away from her.

Esme said she had thrown the bottle of vitamins away, but not before she had taken one. Elizabeth took that as a sign that Esme cared about the baby. Esme swore that she wasn’t the Hook killer, and she told Elizabeth to ask Nikolas what had really happened on the night Esme had gone over the parapet. Esme implored Elizabeth to ask how Ava was involved as well. 

Elizabeth wanted to know what she meant but Nikolas convinced her to return to General Hospital to get more prenatal vitamins.  Nikolas assured Elizabeth he would explain everything later.  Elizabeth left and Nikolas glared at Esme.  “That was a mistake.”

Nikolas wanted to know what Esme wanted.  Esme said that she wanted a Christmas tree, a real one, and that she wanted to pick it out from the Spoon Island grounds.  Nikolas scoffed and left the room, coldly. Once downstairs, Nikolas heard a knock at the door. Nikolas opened the door. Finn was there waiting.

At Spring Ridge, Heather was stunned that Jeff had come to visit her. Jeff told Heather to stay away from his family, and he mentioned Heather’s run-in with Cameron at Kelly’s. Heather said that Jeff didn’t care about his family, and never had.

Just then, Ryan was wheeled into the room. Jeff glanced at Ryan, and he asked if Ryan was who Jeff thought he was. “The one and only,” Heather remarked. Jeff again warned Heather to stay clear of his family, and he started to leave when Heather reached for his hand. Jeff seemed repulsed by Heather and left.

After Jeff left, Heather approached Ryan. “If you could speak, I imagine we’d have quite a lot to discuss,” Heather told Ryan, who blinked his eyes once in response. After Heather walked away, Ryan made a fist.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Diane: [ Sniffles ] [ Sighs ] On second thought, I — I would love to spend the night in one of your guest rooms. Thank you.

Jack: It’s the least I can do. I want you to feel safe and protected. This is the best place for you. I’m gonna text mrs. Martinez, tell her you’re spending the night.

Diane: I — I don’t know what I would do without you. I mean, honestly, jack, I am…

[ Voice breaking ] I am just so tired.

Jack: Hey. Hey. You can turn in whenever you’re ready.

Diane: [ Crying ] No, it’s — it’s not about — it’s not about today or [Sniffles] — Or what happened with jeremy. I just feel like these last few months have been such a journey, home and — and earning a place in my son’s life. I feel like every time that i overcame an obstacle, there would just be another boulder thrown in my path.

Jack: And somehow you have moved every single one out of your way. I admire that.

Diane: [ Sniffles ] Well, if I have, I — I owe it to you.

Jack: Don’t give me too much credit.

Diane: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: You’ve made giant strides.

Diane: I have worked so hard to get past those dark days, you know, living in fear of — of being arrested or some other escalation on jeremy’s part, afraid of — afraid of the demands he’d make on my — on my freedom or — or even my life.

Jack: You have had more than your share of challenges, and you have faced them all with grace and elegance.

Diane: Well, I don’t know about that, but if it’s true, I — I — I do give you the credit.

Jack: Wait. How so?

Diane: Because it’s been…

[ Sniffles ] It’s been so long since I’ve had somebody looking out for me and caring for me. And now I have you and I — I have kyle. And I just can’t tell you how — how much it means to me to

[Sobbing] Not be alone anymore.

Jack: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Diane: [ Sobbing ]

Jack: Hey. Hey.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Diane: Oh, god, I’m sorry.

Jack: No, let me just — let me just check this.

Diane: Okay. I’m sorry.

[ Groans ]

Jack: [ Inhales deeply ]

Diane: Is everything alright?

Jack: Yeah. Uh… this is something I have to deal with, though. Um…I promise you, I will be right back.

Diane: What? You’ve got to leave? What happened?

Tucker: Care for a drink? Or maybe a watch to replace the one that’s obviously broken?

[ Chuckles ]

Audra: Apologies for being tardy, but I do have a life of my own and a job at chancellor-winters. What was this urgent information I needed to know?

Tucker: I have been informed that jeremy stark is in genoa city.

Audra: Fresh out of federal prison and he finds his way here? That’s not a coincidence.

Tucker: No. And I’m sure he wants to make diane squirm.

Audra: She must be absolutely terrified. I mean, he has to be looking for a little revenge, right? But what about you? Should you strap on a bulletproof vest in case stark comes looking for you?

Tucker: [ Chuckles ]

Noah: Adam.

Adam: What?

Noah: It’s good to see you, man.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Nephew. It’s been a while.

Noah: Yeah. Yeah, I guess it has.

Adam: Uh, well, if you’re worried that your father’s gonna show up and there’s gonna be another round of uncomfortable sibling rivalry, you don’t have to worry.

Noah: Alright. I’m glad to hear it.

Adam: Saw nick earlier. I’m pretty sure he’s otherwise occupied.

Noah: Okay, then.

Adam: Alright. Well, I’ll let you get to it. But if you see a server, maybe you could send them my way?

Noah: Yeah. Will do.

Adam: Thank you.

Lily: Okay, I love crimson lights. I do. But this is your post-dinner surprise?

Daniel: Yeah. Thought you could use some dessert.

Lily: I said no to the dessert menu at society.

Daniel: I know. But I know that you still wanted something sweet. You just didn’t want it from there.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Okay. Are you psychic now?

Daniel: Mm. Better. Impeccable memory. How could I ever forget how much lily winters loves dessert?

Lily: [ Laughs ] Okay, fine. Red velvet cupcake and a cappuccino.

Daniel: Cappuccino? At this hour?

Lily: Yeah, you know, a ceo’s work is never done.

Daniel: Uh, you’re not really gonna go back to work? I know that was the plan, but it’s getting late.

Lily: No, I have to get back. I have a lot of deadlines pending. But thank you for tagging along.

Daniel: Ooh. Oh, I see. You — you think that this was all about you? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. See, I’m here for some of that red velvet cupcake action, too.

Lily: Okay, well, you better get your own ’cause I’m not sharing.

Daniel: I remember.

Lily: You remember?

Daniel: Yeah. I do.

[ Laughter ] For people who are a little intense about hydration.

Lily: [ Chuckling ] Hi.

Billy: Hey. What a nice surprise. I, uh — I don’t have to bring your brownie home now.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Daniel: Billy. It’s good to see you again.

Billy: Hey. Good to see you.

Daniel: You want to join us?

Lily: Oh, no. I’m sure billy is tired from his latest mission of mercy, right?

Sharon: Oh, I thought I heard familiar voices out here.

Daniel: Does that include mine?

Sharon: What a great surprise. It’s so good to see you. How are you?

Daniel: I’m doing good. I’m doing really, really good.

Sharon: Oh! Glad you’re here. What can I get you?

Daniel: Um… you know, how about, uh — I’m gonna go take a look at the counter and get a closer look at everything.

Sharon: Yeah. Be my guest. You know, the menu’s changed a little since you were here last.

Daniel: Ooh.

Billy: So, what happened to grabbing take-out and burning the midnight oil?

Lily: Well, that was the plan, but then I ran into daniel, so we decided to grab dinner together.

Billy: I see.

Lily: Yeah. What about you? I thought you were gonna be home. But I’m guessing something or someone kept you out? I’m assuming it was chelsea?

Billy: Yeah. I, uh — I brought chelsea some food, watched a little bit of a movie, and I’m happy to say that laughter really is the best medicine.

Lily: Good. I’m glad you cheered her up.

Billy: [ Sighs ] Can we grab some dessert and just, uh — just head home together?

Lily: I can’T. I have more work to do, so I’m gonna get back to the office after I finish my evening with daniel.

Billy: Okay, well, I’ll wait up for you. I would like to, uh, talk about the conversation that you had with chelsea.

Lily: I already told you about that.

Billy: Yeah, I know, but, um… well, hearing it from chelsea, it sounds like you’re making her think that, uh, she’s too dependent on me. And I know that’s how you feel, but I just can’t imagine that you would say those exact words to someone that is in such an emotional, vulnerable state.

Jack: That text was from a business associate in manila who needs some numbers from me, and unfortunately they are in a folder in my laptop at work.

Diane: But it’s so late.

Jack: It is early in the philippines, and I promised him I’d get it to him by the start of business day in london.

Diane: Well, I guess duty calls.

[ Chuckles ]

Jack: I won’t be gone long, okay?

Diane: [ Sighs ] But the house is so quiet.

Jack: Hey, it’s you and me, harrison, his nanny, and mrs. Martinez.

Diane: Oh, well, what — what time does she leave? Do you think if I text her that she’d stay —

Jack: Listen to me. Listen to me. If jeremy is foolish enough to show up at this door, we have a very sophisticated security system. It is on. I know this is a big request, but try to calm down. Try to make yourself at home. Everything you need will be up in the room.

Diane: Alright. Thanks.

Jack: Hope you can get some rest. Good night’s sleep, maybe.

Diane: So do I. I just — I just can’t believe what phyllis, nikki, and ashley have done.

Jack: Don’t worry about them. We will deal with them later. Good night.

Diane: Good night.

[ Sighs ]

Tucker: I’ve never even spoken to jeremy stark, so why would I fear him? Salud.

Audra: Salud. Well, I assumed you and he had crossed paths at some point.

Tucker: We did, in a way. We had some mutual connections, dealt with some of the same people, which came in handy when I needed information.

Audra: I’m sure.

Tucker: Uh-huh. That’s how I found out what he had done to diane, how he kept her under his thumb.

Audra: What did you have to do to this mutual friend to get him to talk?

Tucker: Everyone has their price.

Audra: So, you used that information as leverage over diane so she’d help you with your triumphant return to genoa city.

Tucker: Precisely. So now jeremy stark has no reason to come after me, so i have no reason to fear him. In fact, what I’d like to do is use him to my advantage, which is why I gave the information about him to ashley. I was hoping maybe she or nikki or phyllis would reach out to him and lure him to town.

Audra: Why? What are you up to?

[Oven ding]

Lily: I handled things with chelsea very carefully.

Billy: Okay, well, however you thought you handled them, her interpretation is that she’s become a burden.

Lily: Well, I am sorry she took it that way, but that was not my intention.

Billy: Okay. Can we talk about this when we get home?

Lily: I don’t know how late I’m gonna be, so don’t wait up.

Billy: Lily? Uh, good night, you two.

Sharon: Hey. Good night.

Daniel: Take care.

Sharon: Well, I should probably go and get your food ready instead of talking your ear off.

Daniel: No, no, no, it’s been great catching up. Um…I have missed a lot.

Sharon: Well, why don’t you go grab a seat and relax? I’ll bring your order out to your table.

Daniel: The royal treatment. Love it. [ Chuckles ] Hey.

Lily: Hey.

Daniel: Truth or dare?

Lily: Ugh. Obviously, truth.

Daniel: [ Groans ] Us hanging out tonight.

Lily: It was very fun.

Daniel: Well, I — I agree. That’s not the question, though. Um…did our little impromptu dinner — is that causing problems with billy?

Lily: No. [ Laughs ] No. Everything is fine.

[ Chuckles ]

Noah: Alright, well, can you just take care of it for me? Thank you.

Audra: Noah?

Noah: Hey. How are you?

Audra: Uh…

Noah: That’s alright. I was wondering when I’d see you again after the whole, uh…

Audra: You mean after i walked in here the other day and overheard you telling allie how I lost our baby?

Noah: Yeah.

Audra: I’m sorry for my terrible timing, okay? I thought I’d stay away for a while, give you some time and space to process everything i told you about the miscarriage.

Noah: I just… I can’t stop kicking myself. You know, if I had just handled the end of our relationship better, instead of — instead of leaving, you know, instead of just walking out without telling you, you wouldn’t have been so reluctant to share such monumental news. But I’m glad I know now.

Audra: Good.

Noah: I’m not really sure what’s supposed to happen next. I mean, is there anything I can do to help you heal, help you move on? If it’s an apology you want, it’s yours wholeheartedly. It’s what you deserve.

Audra: You, noah. I want you.

Jack: Yeah, I sent the paperwork through to london. No problem at all. Happy to help. Good talking to you. Bye. Oh, you’re here late.

Phyllis: I could say the same about you.

Jack: Running behind on work now that you’re spending so much time stirring up trouble?

Phyllis: Oh, there it is. There it is. Silly of me to think that we could have a civilized conversation. Unlike diane earlier in society, getting in my face, hurling accusations at me, screaming at the top of her lungs. Seriously? She was just the picture of restraint and elegance, wasn’t she?

Jack: I think diane was well within her rights to respond the way she did.

Phyllis: Oh, okay. Of course you do. She was insane! And look at you, backing her again.

Jack: Her life is in danger. How is she supposed to react?

Phyllis: Please, please.

Jack: And who the hell is the victim here? It’s certainly not you.

Phyllis: You’re just saying what she wants you to say.

Jack: Did you reach out to jeremy stark? Yes or no?

Phyllis: My phone. Look. Is there a phone number you don’t recognize? Check it out. You have my blessing. A text that’s not familiar to you? You want to scan my e-mail, jack?

Jack: I don’t need to look at your phone. I know how well you cover your tracks. I need you to look me in the eye and answer my question. Did you tell jeremy stark where he could find diane? Yes or no? Want your clothes to smell freshly

Noah: Look, I can appreciate that some buried feelings came to the surface, and I’m sure whatever you went through had to have been traumatic. And I’m very, very sorry things ended the way they did. But this conversation cannot happen.

Audra: It’s happening.

Noah: No, it can’T. I have a girlfriend.

Audra: Weren’t you just saying that we should have been more open with each other?

[ Sighs ] I never got over you, okay? I’m — I can’t and I won’t lie about it anymore. I can still close my eyes and see it all. How happy we were before things went wrong. We can have that again.

Noah: Audra…

Audra: We were fire.

Noah: And we got burned.

Audra: This is our chance to try again. But better, stronger, brighter, deeper. The kind of love that lasts forever.

Noah: Why? Our relationship was chaos, audra. Why would you want to go back to that?

Audra: Love is chaos. Okay? It doesn’t make any sense. Someone walks into your life and turns everything upside down, and before you know it, you — you need them like air. No, we’re not finished with each other, not by a long shot. I can see it every time I look into your eyes, every time we’re in the same room together. And I know you feel it, too.

Noah: No. No, no, this isn’t gonna happen.

Billy: This really isn’t my day.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Well, look who it is. Look who’s out and about — and on their own.

Billy: Says the guy sitting in the corner of the club by himself.

Adam: Well, that’s who I am, billy. I’m a lone wolf. At least you have a girlfriend. Unless she’s wised up and dumped you. Why is that? Because it’s the billy and chelsea show all the time now?

[ Scraping ]

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ]

Phyllis: Well, my goodness. Let’s turn your office into an interrogation room.

Jack: Oh, this is not an interrogation. I’m simply asking you to be truthful. Is that too much to ask for anymore?

Phyllis: Oh, my goodness, i love diane. I love her. She’s gotten you and kyle and summer all in a lather. So suspicious of me. This is amazing, you know? But I’ll be the bad guy. I’ll be the evil one because i know I am 100% correct about diane.

Jack: I don’t know what summer or kyle did or said after diane and I left the restaurant. Here’s what I do know. Jeremy stark is in genoa city. He came to my home, to my front door! But you know that.

Phyllis: How would I know that? Stop accusing me, please.

Jack: Did you tell him that diane was there? It’s very easy for you to give him my address.

Phyllis: He’s a criminal. Like he can’t find out where diane is? He has a score to settle with her. What did he want?

Jack: Well, he didn’t want to have a friendly conversation with her about all those years behind bars. He wanted to talk to her about being a grandmother. He brought harrison into this.

Phyllis: He brought harrison into it?

Jack: Yes, he did.

Phyllis: Did — did he threaten harrison?

Jack: No, not overtly. No. He’s smoother than that. But if someone helped him find his way here, that person ought to take responsibility for the hell they have unleashed.

Phyllis: Yeah, and that person is diane jenkins. It’s diane jenkins! That’s why he’s here. I-I — I can’t believe this. I’m still the villain. I’m the bad one again. And diane gets away scot-free, scot-free! I mean, jack, I am so tired of having this conversation with you. Do the math! If diane hadn’t ruined our lives all those years ago, she wouldn’t have gone to los angeles and met jeremy stark. And then, if she would have left when I told her to leave, then this guy wouldn’t be back in town.

Jack: You know what? Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!

Phyllis: No, I’m not stopping!

Jack: I’m done with this! I am done! Hi, I’m angela.

“The young and the restless”

will continue. There’s something new from better than bouillon

Daniel: Oh, my god. These look absolutely phenomenal.

Sharon: Even better — they’re on the house. Welcome home, daniel.

Lily: Thank you.

Daniel: Thank you.

Lily: [ Laughs ] Yay.

Daniel: So, um, these late-night coffee and cupcake runs — is this normal for chancellor-winters, or is this just, like, a one-time thing? Because I’m trying to manage my expectations.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Uh, no, it’s not normal. Although I wouldn’t mind. We do have a lot of late nights. But, um, I actually like the late nights. I don’t know. I find that I’m more productive ’cause it’s quiet, I feel more focused, you know? What about you?

Daniel: Oh, night owl all the way.

Lily: Yeah?

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Daniel: But let’s just say that’s when things can get dicey.

Lily: What does that mean?

Daniel: Well, there’s a fine line between night owl and early bird.

Lily: Okay, this sounds interesting.

[ Laughs ]

Daniel: It can be exhausting, right? You know, can lead to poor decision making. Let’s, uh — let’s call them unique projects and outcomes. I mean, you know, like taking suggestions from an audience at an improv show. What five things does every human being need to survive? And how can I manufacture these things on a moving train that will not stop?

Lily: Oh, my god, you’ve got to be kidding.

Daniel: I don’t know. 4:00 A.M., My thoughts — they should all be thrown into the fire.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Daniel: And I’ve got these grand visions for my future, you know? Big, huge, huge dreams. Sometimes I just can’t stop working on them, even if I’m running on fumes.

Lily: Okay. Tell me your craziest 4:00 A.M. Idea. Let me hear it.

Daniel: No.

Lily: Come on. Give it to me.

Daniel: Come on.

Lily: Come on.

Daniel: Okay. Hmm. Okay.

[ Clears throat ]

[ Fork clatters ]

[ Plate slides ] You know when you’re gonna have a tough day and you could use a little extra motivation? You know, a pep talk. A shot in the arm.

[ Chuckles ]

Lily: Okay.

Daniel: A little excitement, some witnesses.

Lily: Yeah. Yeah. Go on.

Daniel: Mm-hmm. What if there were a service where you could hire your own entourage? I’m talking, like, bollywood dancers cheering you on as you’re running through the street on your way to your wedding proposal or, um, a new orleans second line announcing the birth of your baby. Celebrations and memory makers.

Lily: Right. So, you’re a character in your own musical?

Daniel: Not even remotely cost-effective or practical.

Lily: No, it’s definitely not. But it is very creative and fun.

Daniel: Mm. That was a very diplomatic way of saying totally weird.

Lily: Yeah, it’s weird. But… [ Laughs ]

Billy: You know, it’s typical of you to bring lily into this conversation, but I shouldn’t be surprised. But, yes, now that you mention chelsea, I am spending more time with her because I am her friend and I am concerned. I’m also concerned about connor. Chelsea mentioned that he’s being bullied at school.

Adam: Well, then I hope she also mentioned that we discussed it as a family and we handled it.

Billy: She did, yeah.

Adam: Yeah. Well, then you should know that we do appreciate your help, but moving forward, chelsea has plenty of people in her network that she can rely on.

Billy: Right. So, what are you saying? I, uh — I abandon her just out of the blue, adam?

Adam: No, billy, that’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying that I know what she needs. She’s my ex-wife, and she’s the mother of my son.

Billy: Well, she’s also the biological mother of my son.

Adam: What’s your point?

Billy: My point is, unfortunately, we’re connected. And trust me, I really wish that chelsea could trust you, but, you know, there’s boundaries and limitations when it comes to you.

Adam: Yeah, I’m painfully aware of the mistakes that I’ve made with chelsea. And months ago, when she told me she was struggling, I should have done more, but the point is, I’m here now for whatever she needs. So, as much as I really appreciate your help when she was in the throes of this crisis — and I’ll be eternally grateful for that, billy — i think it’s time for you to take a big step back.

Billy: Well, I’m not gonna do that. I can’t do that.

Audra: I realize you’re with allie. I get it. I do. But can you honestly say that what we had is over? Because when kissed just now, you felt it. I know you did. It’s like no time had passed, and you wanted it as much as i did.

Noah: No, no, that was a mistake.

Audra: It didn’t feel like one.

Noah: I got caught up in the moment. It happened. That’s all it was, okay?

Audra: It was electric.

Noah: Yeah, well, audra, a lack of chemistry was never really our issue, but we had plenty of other problems.

Audra: I mean, things could be different now. The time apart has given us a new perspective.

Noah: No, nothing is gonna change what happened or the reason we broke up. Our relationship was damaging for both of us. Why don’t you get that?

Audra: Can you honestly say that the life you have now is —

Noah: It’s good, okay? I’m happy. I am finally in a good place. And it seems like you’re doing well, too. Audra… there is no future for us. And I need you to accept that.

Audra: Message received.

A more human way to healthcare. Why give your family just any eggs

Billy: I will be around for chelsea for as long as she needs, and I think she would resent the hell out of you for trying to dictate who gets to be a part of her support system.

Adam: What is this? You speak for chelsea now, billy?

Billy: No. This is chelsea’s choice. It’s her recovery. And if she chooses to confide in me over you, adam, you are going to have to deal with that.

Adam: I’m not gonna be shut out, okay? As much as I know you’d enjoy that.

Billy: So, what are you gonna do? Are you gonna break into her doctor’s office and steal her files? You gonna bug her apartment again like you did when you returned from the dead to spy on her?

Adam: I mean, that’s fascinating, considering that you and chelsea were together around that time.

Billy: Right, well, i wouldn’t look too far into that. What I would do is look inside yourself and understand what you are capable of. I mean, if we took a poll, no one would really expect any better from you. I mean, your lack of ability to actually connect to anyone on a human level just forces you to resort to fraud and deception. Who in their right mind is really going to trust you?

[ Glass thuds ]

Adam: And you’re the rational human that’s gonna bestow advice to who, billy? To me? Why don’t you call me when you get your degree or when somebody clears you of your delusions of grandeur, okay? So, if you’re looking for someone to insult or judge, why don’t you grab a mirror? ‘Cause I’m not gonna sit here and let myself be insulted by you or anyone else.

Jack: I am done listening to you, phyllis. Now you’re going to listen to me. The only reason you have found employ under the jabot umbrella is because I allowed it. And, boy, have I come to regret giving summer and kyle my okay because you have proven very clearly your only motive for being in this building is to undermine diane.

Phyllis: No, it’s not. No, it’s not, and you know it. I want to work with my daughter. I missed her in milan. You know that.

Jack: Not enough, or you would have backed off from diane when summer asked you to. Let’s face it, you are incapable of giving diane even a moment of kindness or thoughtfulness or understanding or, god forbid, forgiveness.

Phyllis: Oh, my god, you’re kidding me. This is not my fault.

Jack: Yeah, and it wasn’t your fault when you tortured christine all those years ago. It wasn’t your fault when you did everything you could…

Phyllis: You’re bringing back my past?

Jack: …To make sharon’s life a living hell.

Phyllis: You’re bringing back my past?

Jack: And now you are focusing your special brand of vengeance and hatred on diane.

Phyllis: Vengeance and hatred on diane? Are you serious right now?

Jack: I am deadly serious. I have stood by for months now and watched you abuse your position at marchetti for your own twisted purposes. I have stayed silent out of respect for summer and kyle. No more! We’re done with that. You’ve gone too far. A word of warning — marchetti is a subsidiary of jabot. I am jabot! And if I find out you did reach out to stark, if our children or our grandchild or diane are harmed in any way, I will throw you and that stupid smirk out of this building so fast, your head will spin. Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

Lily: Thank you.

Daniel: Whew.

Lily: [ Sighs ]

Adam: Daniel romalotti. Wow. It’s been a while. I didn’t know you were back in town.

Daniel: Just got back.

Adam: Interesting, seeing the two of you together.

Lily: Sorry. What’s so interesting about seeing two friends catching up?

Adam: Well, the fact that you’re here and billy is all by his lonesome at the glam club. I mean, I don’t blame you that you need a breather. You know, it’s amazing that a guy can be such a train wreck, yet so self-righteous.

Lily: Do you have anything better to do than to annoy us?

Adam: Lily, it must make you crazy seeing how he and chelsea are so joined at the hip.

Lily: You know what? I think that you’re the one with the problem.

Adam: Oh, or maybe you are relieved you don’t have to put up with his antics and addictions now.

Lily: [ Scoffs ] Okay, you know what? Whatever this game is, I don’t want to play, so good night.

Noah: Hey, billy. How’s it going, man?

Billy: Let’s just say I’ve had better nights.

Noah: I’m sorry to hear that.

Billy: [ Sighs ] It’s alright. You know, I came to your lovely club to unwind a little bit. Instead, I got an overabundance of adam.

Noah: Yeah. Yeah, I caught the tail end of that conversation.

Billy: Well, let me just say that I think your uncle is slipping back into his dark prince ways. And I think it’s best we all keep an eye on him.

Tucker: Come in. Things not working out with noah?

Audra: Doesn’t matter at the moment, does it?

Tucker: No. I wasn’t expecting you. And here I thought my evening was drawing to an end.

Audra: Is that a complaint?

Tucker: Far from it.

Audra: [ Moaning ]

Jack: [ Groans ]

[ Keys clatter ]

Diane: [ Gasps ]

Jack: Hey. It’s just me. It’s just me. I’m sorry.

Diane: It’s okay.

Jack: I didn’t mean to scare you.

Diane: [ Sighs ] It’s alright. The slightest noise has me on edge tonight.

Jack: What are you still doing down here?

Diane: I didn’t think I’d be able to sleep, so I thought I’d wait up for you. So, how did everything go at jabot?

Jack: Everything was fine. You have to know you are safe here. We are going to do everything we can to protect you. You have my word.

Diane: [ Sighs ] You don’t know what it means to me to hear that. Thank you.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Finn: There’s just no way a bear could have done this. It was sliced right off and then these cuts were made to look like a tear. But they’re too clean. They’re– they’re too precise.

Steffy: Only a demented woman like sheila carter will go to such unthinkable lengths.

Finn: Well, she had to make sure the police would stop looking for her. And she did. That’s why detective sanchez brought me all this. Case closed.

Steffy: Except based on what you found out, sheila is not dead at all.

Deacon: Where the hell did you go, sheila? What are you up to now?

Carter: Hey, brooke.

Brooke: Hi.

Carter: Hi. Oh, wow. That’s a great shot of you and ridge.

Brooke: Yeah. It was a beautiful day.

Carter: Listen, about the wedding that didn’t happen, I haven’t spoken to ridge, but when I see him, I–

Brooke: I don’t think you’ll see him any time soon.

Carter: Oh?

Brooke: He left to take some much needed time.

Carter: Of course. For what it’s worth, while I have great respect for taylor, I’m hoping those annulment papers that I had to deliver to you will have been a waste of time.

Bill: What are you doing here?

Katie: Oh, I’m just grabbing some stuff for will.

Bill: He’s home?

Katie: No, I’m sending him a care package, and he’s been wanting these things, so. Are you okay? You don’t seem like yourself. Bill, no.

Carter: So where do things stand with you and ridge?

Brooke: Nothing’s been decided yet. He’s gone away to make some decisions about his life. I told him I needed somebody who was completely committed to me. And I just couldn’t do that back and forth thing with taylor anymore. So, you know, we’ll see how things are when he gets back. But in the meantime, I know that there’s somebody else reevaluating their life. My sister. Donna and I have been talking with katie, and we just get the feeling that your friendship with her has evolved into more than just a friendship. Am I right?

Bill: It’s just whiskey, katie, relax.

Katie: I’m not talking about the drink. You’re wearing your sword necklace again. Why?

Bill: Why? I feel like I need the extra protection.

Katie: Protection from what?

Bill: Do you really care?

Katie: Yes, of course I care.

Bill: Just not enough to take me back.

Katie: Bill.

Bill: Yeah, forget it. I’m just not in a– in a good place, not making the best life decisions.

Katie: Dark place? I’m assuming this has to do with brooke?

Finn: So, we need to go through that evidence very carefully with our theory in mind that sheila wasn’t mauled by a bear.

Steffy: Showing us it was a calculated move on sheila’s part, and that’s how she ended the manhunt.

Finn: Believe me, I would love to be wrong about this. All right, the thought of having to deal with my mother again and the threat that she still poses to our family if she’s alive and out there? I tried to tell myself that that was all behind us, but I– I just–

Steffy: Something was nagging at you. How sheila supposedly died.

Finn: Look, we don’t have any time to waste. For our safety. If what we think is true, sheila is as dangerous now as she ever was. Maybe even more. (Birds chirping)

Katie: Bill, what’s going on with you? You’re– you’re in this dark place, you– you’re wearing your sword necklace, which is a harbinger of things to come, usually bad things.

Bill: I told you, I feel like I need the extra protection from myself.

Katie: I know that this has to do with brooke and I also know what you said to her at her house the other day and it doesn’t matter how I heard. The point is–

Bill: The point is I have been making such bad decisions for so long. Wanting what I shouldn’t want when what I really needed was you. I don’t know how many ways to say it, katie. I don’t know how many times I need to apologize. I have been a colossal ass. My own worst enemy. But I really do need you, especially now. I– I hate feeling this way. I hate what my life has become.

Katie: Do you know what I hate? I hate that my ex-husband, the father of my child, and the man that I gave my whole heart to loves my sister.

Bill: You’re not hearing a word that I’m saying. So you want to give up on me? On our family? For carter walton?

Brooke: Carter, I have tremendous respect for you, but I can’t help but look out for my sister.

Carter: That’s what good sisters do.

Brooke: I know she’s a grown woman and she can take care of herself, but she’s been through a lot. And I’m not just talking about bill.

Carter: Her heart transplant.

Brooke: She never mentions it. She just goes about life like we all do.

Carter: I totally understand, you don’t even have to explain.

Brooke: There is something I do have to explain. The day of ridge and taylor’s wedding, you were at my house overhearing bill and me talking and then katie and bill talking.

Carter: How do you know that?

Brooke: Because katie told me.

Carter: What? How– how did she find out?

Brooke: Because she overheard you and bill talking. But more importantly, she heard you say all these wonderful things about her.

Carter: I meant every word.

Deacon: That’s definitely not mine. I’m not sure if you’re coming back, sheila. I hope you don’t, but you’re definitely not getting traced back here when you get busted.

Steffy: Okay, we know from the convenience store footage that sheila was in the sierra mountains.

Finn: And the abandoned car with the fingerprints that the park ranger found.

Steffy: It was all part of her twisted plan.

Finn: Well, she needed to drop out of sight permanently. Best way to do that is to make people think you’re dead.

Steffy: Okay, what do we have here? Sheila’s I.D., Busted phone from the alleged bear attack.

Finn: Check this out. Sheila’s hair. The roots are still attached, which would indicate that it was pulled out, not cut, which would be in line with an attack.

Steffy: Or she yanked it out herself.

Finn: The whole scene is circumstantial if you think about it. Everything here indicates a bear attack. When you look at every single item individually and know who you’re dealing with? I wish it wasn’t the case, but I feel even more confident now that our theory is correct. Sheila isn’t dead.

Steffy: No. She staged her own death. (Vo) no matter what type of severe asthma you have,…

Brooke: I don’t mean to make you feel self-conscious, I don’T. It’s just– I mean, I’m sure it’s very surprising for you to find out that katie overheard your conversation with bill and some of those things she passed on to donna and me.

Carter: No, I’m not– I’m not self-conscious. I know how close katie is to her sisters.

Brooke: Okay, well, the logans look out for each other. At least we try to.

Carter: Katie is a remarkable, intelligent, beautiful woman. She deserves a lot better than bill spencer.

Bill: Do you have any idea what it does to me every time you push me away? I have practically gotten on my knees and begged you for another chance. And when you reject–

Katie: I’m not rejecting you. I’m just trying to tell you that what you say you want can’t happen for reasons that you know.

Bill: I’ll tell you what I know. What I know is that everyone in my life has abandoned me. Even justin, a so-called best friend, turned his back on me. Don’t turn your back on me, katie. We can start over. I promise you, I promise you that I will make you the center of my world. You will never have any reason to feel anything but my commitment and my devotion. It will be you. You and only you. I swear that’s how it will be. Just give me one chance to prove it.

Deacon: She had so much crap here. Ugh. Okay, it’s called self preservation. Sheila, I mean, you know, that’s something you know all about, right? Just gotta cut all ties with her before anyone realizes she didn’t kick the damn bucket.

Steffy: My god, finn, when I think what this means.

Finn: Look, I wish I was wrong, but it all adds up. The question now is where is she? Is she in L.A? Did she go on the run, did she sneak across the border?

Steffy: If it weren’t for you and hayes, I think she’d be long gone. But we know how obsessed she is with her son and her grandson. I think she’s crazy enough to stay here in L.A.

Finn: Well, if she is, where would she be?

Steffy: I don’t know. But there’s someone, I think, who can give us answers. With metro…

Brooke: I’ve worked hard to try to keep katie and bill’s family together. But you know what? After some of the things that bill has said to me, I think it’s better that katie actually moves on with somebody that I admire and respect. Well, you did have your little slip up with quinn. But I know you’re a man of integrity.

Carter: I appreciate that. But to be honest, I don’t know where katie and I stand. We haven’t really even started yet.

Brooke: I have a good feeling about you two.

Carter: That’s kind, but I’m not naive. I know bill’s a man who doesn’t like to lose, and he’s trying to get in katie’s head, convince her to come back to him.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Bill: Whatever it takes for you to trust me again, tell me and I’ll do it. Whatever it takes for you to come back to me.

Katie: Bill, we will always be a family and I will always care about you. But anything more than that, it’s just– what you’re asking is not possible. I’m moving on.

Bill: With carter?

Katie: Oh. I– I don’t know. I– I don’t know. I– all I do know is that he is kind, and he’s sincere, and he’s honest, and when I– when I look in his eyes, I can see that he’s telling the truth.

Bill: Truth. The truth is that I have done everything I can to reach you. And yet you won’t let me back in. And that frustrates me. And more than that, it hurts me. But it also makes me angry. Angry at myself for losing you. Angry at the situation we find ourselves in, where you’re wanting to move on. But just know this. I will not give up. I will not lose you to carter walton or anyone else. I do not lose. I need you. I need you now, my katie. Like never before.

[ Knock on door ]

Deacon: Seriously? Come on. Just a second. Be right there. Steffy.

Steffy: Hi.

Deacon: Finn. Uh.

Finn: Hey.

Deacon: Hey. Hey, guys, I’m sorry, I’ve gotta be at work in a few minutes.

Steffy: No problem. It’ll only take a minute.

Deacon: Okay, uh, what’s this about?

Steffy: Well, first of all, we want to thank you. We owe you a huge debt of gratitude.

Finn: Yeah, if it weren’t for you that awful night in the alley–

Deacon: No, no–

Finn: If you hadn’t found us–

Deacon: Please, guys, look, I’m just happy you’re both fine.

Steffy: Yeah. We’re still trying to put everything that happened behind us.

Deacon: Yeah, I know what you mean. I– I’m trying to forget it myself.

Steffy: But we can’t forget. Not anymore.

Deacon: Not anymore. What do you– what do you mean?

Steffy: This is gonna sound crazy, but we discovered some really unsettling things and we believe… no, we know. We know sheila’s alive. She faked her own death. She wasn’t mauled by a bear. Sheila is alive. Sheila carter is alive.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Adam: [ Clears throat ]

[ Sighs ]

Sally: We almost made it. We loved each other with all we had. But… it’s time for us to move on. Away having learned something so that next time we don’t make the same mistakes. Next time… …you and some very lucky woman will make it. We have to let each other go so we can find our true happiness.

Chance: Adam? Hi. Yeah, I’ll do another round. And same for him. Thank you. Looks like you had a rough night.

Adam: Hmm.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Nick: I guess it’s no mystery what happened here with you and adam.

Sally: I — I’m really sorry that you had to see this.

Nick: Me too. Uh… well, I guess I finally have an answer to the question you’ve been evading — how you really feel about adam’s proposal. I’m gonna go. I’ll see you.

Sally: Nick, wait.

[ Sighs ] Look, I — I swear that I was gonna tell you about this, maybe not so bluntly, but you deserve to know what happened.

[ Sighs ] You need to have all the information before you decide to walk away. Un?

Chelsea: So, how’s the sleepover going? Are you having fun? Aww, connor, I’m so glad. Don’t eat too much junk food, okay? Alright. I love you. I’ll see you later.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Cellphone thuds ]

Billy: Who’s ready for movie night?

Lily: Thank you.

Daniel: Lily.

Lily: Hey.

Daniel: You, uh, meeting someone here?

Lily: Uh, no, no. I just ordered some take-out. I have a hot date with a pile of work on my desk.

Daniel: Ah. Yes, I, too, was about to order some takeout. Go do some more work on my gaming platform idea.

Lily: Yes.

Daniel: I haven’t quite figured out all the logistics, but, um…

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Daniel: You know what? Actually, I just got done reading this study, and it said that people are way more productive when they take short breaks. What do you say? How about you and I both take a breather and we have dinner together instead?

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ]

Jack: Hey. Everything’s gonna be alright.

Diane: Oh, thank you.

[ Sighs heavily ]

[ Cellphone pings ]

Diane: Oh.

Jack: Want to get that?

Diane: Oh, no.

Jack: What’s wrong?

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ] Jeremy just texted me.

Billy: Brought the perfect goodies — classic snacks for a classic comedy, guaranteed to make you laugh.

Chelsea: Does it look like i need cheering up?

Billy: Well, I mean, everybody could use a — use a laugh, right? I mean, I could use one right about now. I mean, we could go superhero. We could watch some costumed people blow a bunch of things up. Or we could go sci-fi. I mean, with me, older, the better. “Santa claus conquers the martians” right there for me. So many choices, so little time. What do you say? Your pick.

Chelsea: Um, uh, it doesn’t matter. Whatever you think.

Billy: Yeah, maybe I, uh — maybe I should have called first, huh? Are you upset that I showed up unannounced?

Chelsea: No. No, no. I’m really — I’m happy you’re here. I am.

Billy: I’m not buying that. Feels like there’s something else going on. I mean, I mentioned “santa claus conquers the martians,” and i didn’t get nothing out of you. Straight crickets. So, what is it? What’s going on?

Adam: It’s been a while since we’ve been on, uh, drinking-buddy terms.

Chance: Yeah, well, nothing wrong with sharing a nightcap or two.

Adam: Yeah, I’m actually glad we got the opportunity to chat ’cause I owe you an apology. I’m sorry that I was, uh, rough on you with the, uh, locke investigation.

Chance: Case closed, right?

Adam: It is in my book.

Chance: [ Sighs ] So, what’s your deal?

Adam: Um… well, I just had to face the fact that I lost sally for good.

Sally: After adam blurted out that proposal to me in public and after he gave me all those desperate speeches about how he still loved me, I had a lot of feelings. I was angry that he felt that i didn’t deserve more than some drunken attempt at some grand gesture, fury with myself for falling for him in the first place, despite all of the warnings, and confused because my feelings for you are very real, as well. And I need you to believe me when I tell you that none of that was a lie. But there was also doubt because the truth of the matter is…

[Voice breaking] I was in love with adam. But I have been very honest with you about that from the beginning.

Nick: Yeah. You have.

Sally: And adam’s proposal, as inappropriate as it was — it got to me in a way. Earlier today, he apologized to me for all of it, for the abrupt way that he dumped me and — and for how he’s been behaving ever since. But he stood by his proposal. He was certain that we were meant to be together. And I couldn’t help but wonder if maybe he was right. You know, if maybe we were just on some crazy journey to being together forever. And I was — I don’t know — just scared to admit it or believe it.

Nick: Yeah, I asked you that a few times myself.

Sally: I know. But I-I… I just realized I-I had to know for sure.

[ Upbeat music ]

Sally: I can’t put the blame on adam for what happened here. This was on both of us. I just wanted to know if there was anything left between us. We wondered if — if we still had that original spark that drew us together, and we needed to know if there was anything left for us to salvage. But I am certain now. There’s nothing left. And what you walked in on was the aftermath of that realization. The end. It’s over. And adam realized it, too.

Nick: You’re sure about that?

Sally: I’m positive. I think it was a little bit harder for him to let go. You know, he was still holding on to the fact that there was a possibility of saving us, but… there isn’T. What we once had, we’ve — we’ve lost. I’m sorry, but I’m not gonna apologize for what happened because I feel like a huge weight has been lifted. Adam and I can now finally

[Sighs] And fully move on.

Chelsea: I’ve just been dealing with an issue with connor.

Billy: Okay. What happened?

Chelsea: Um, this kid at school overheard connor and johnny talking about me, and he started taunting connor, calling me crazy.

Billy: I’m sorry. Johnny didn’t mention that to me.

Chelsea: No, I don’t think johnny was there. I think it happened later in the day. This kid cornered connor. Needless to say, they got in a fight. Connor came home very upset.

Billy: Yeah, of course he did. I don’t blame him.

[ Sighs ] Do you want me to call the school for you?

Chelsea: No. No. You’re starting to sound like adam.

Billy: Oh, my gosh. Don’t insult me like that, okay? I’m just trying to help you.

Chelsea: Well, after —

[ Laughs ] After connor told adam what happened, adam freaked out, and he basically said he wanted to call the school and get the kid expelled or change connor’s school entirely.

Billy: Okay. For once, I actually agree with adam. Just promise me you’re never gonna tell anyone I said that.

Chelsea: No one would believe me. I was able to talk adam down. And as much as it upsets me that this kid was so mean to connor, the truth is, he’s gonna have to deal with the fact that there are difficult people in life.

[ Sighs ] I just hate the fact that he’s getting bullied because of me.

Billy: You know, chelsea —

Chelsea: I know. I know. I can’t blame myself.

Billy: Good. Well, I got to ask — why didn’t you mention it to me? I mean, it involves johnny. It just kind of makes me think that there’s something else going on.

Chelsea: What do you mean?

Billy: Well, it feels like you’ve been avoiding me — my text messages, my calls — ever since thanksgiving. And your therapist stresses that honesty is the way to go. And I’m honestly asking you. And it just feels like you’re doing your best to avoid me.

Lily: So, how’s your dad?

Daniel: Oh, danny? Danny is, you know, out there performing and touring, doing what he loves all over the world.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Daniel: Sometimes I think that man has more energy than i do.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Well, that’s great. And, uh, lucy — how is she? I mean, I know that she’s in portugal, but, I mean, what is she like now?

Daniel: Lucy is amazing. Yeah. You know, she’s at that age where she’s starting to give me a hard time about everything. You know, the things I say, the clothes I wear.

Lily: Yeah.

Daniel: My driving. Yeah, no, she doesn’t like that. Or my — my dad jokes.

Lily: Oh, she sounds very, very smart.

[ Both laugh ]

Daniel: She’s brilliant. She is. You know, despite all her scathing critiques, she — she still never stops wanting to just go get ice cream and sit down by the riverfront, just to sit there and talk. It’s actually some of those talks that started me on this new career path and led me to this gaming platform idea.

Lily: Wow. Sounds like you two have a very special relationship.

Daniel: What about the twins? What are they up to?

Lily: Mm. They’re good. They, um — what are they doing? I mean, mattie’s a senior at stanford.

Daniel: No.

Lily: Charlie’s studying film at nyu.

Daniel: Seniors?

Lily: Mm-hmm.

Daniel: Really?

Lily: I know. I can’t believe it, either.

[ Laughs ] Yeah. But they’re good. And how is, um — how’s heather? How are things with her?

Diane: This text brings back all the memories of what he put me through, the — the threats and the manipulations and the vicious intimidation. I mean, one minute he’s at your house, and the next he’s sending some not-so-subtle, threatening texts about your family.

Jack: Stark is definitely a bully, but he has no proof that you informed on him.

Diane: It doesn’t matter. He will seek his own justice if he even thinks it might be true.

Jack: I told you I will not let any harm come to you. Look, I will hire whatever security I have to, to protect this house, this family, and you.

Diane: Don’t you get it? This man will not be deterred. And now that he’s found me, I’ve got to figure out a way to deal with him.

Jack: Listen to me. You are not alone.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Jack: I’m here to help you. Now, tell me what you think he wants.

Diane: I know exactly what he wants. Payback. Listen, I’m done settling.

Jack: Wait. He wants payback? For what, exactly?

Diane: I had some of jeremy’s money ready for transport when he got arrested.

Jack: And?

Diane: [ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone thuds ] I kept it.

Jack: Wait, the feds didn’t confiscate it?

Diane: Well, they weren’t aware that it existed. I mean, the charges were based on cash that had already moved offshore.

Jack: And you didn’t tell them?

Diane: [ Sighs ] Well, I-I-I didn’t want to invite any more scrutiny.

Jack: You were afraid that they would figure out that you were living in L.A. Under a fake identity.

Diane: Well, I’m — I’m not sure that they would have even charged me with anything, but i just — I didn’t want to take that risk.

Jack: I see.

Diane: Okay, maybe you think that was cowardly, but it wasn’t just my fear of being arrested. I just wasn’t ready for anyone in genoa city to know that I was alive.

Jack: None of that matters. What is important is you have something that jeremy stark wants. So, if handing him back the money is the only way to get rid of him, then maybe that’s the prudent course of action to take. Just hand it back to him.

Diane: I can’t do that.

Jack: Why not?

Diane: The money’s gone.

Daniel: Actually, I’d rather not talk about heather right now.

Lily: Yeah. Okay.

Daniel: I would, um, prefer to discuss how my dream might actually be on the road to becoming a reality. I got to tell you, I’ve taken umpteen classes in gaming design. I’ve gone to so many conferences trying to learn the field. Now I’m doing a deep dive into strategy. I mean, if you and devon — if you green-light this platform, I’m gonna be ready.

Lily: Wow. You’re very passionate about this.

Daniel: You bet I am. What do you think? Should we make our game specific to certain platforms, or should we make versions for all the platforms?

Lily: Someone’s done a deep dive.

[ Laughs ]

Daniel: I just want to make sure I have every aspect of this figured out before moving forward. You know, there are millions, if not billions, to be made if this thing is done right.

Lily: You know, I really love how enthusiastic you are about this. It makes me feel very confident that you’re the person leading this division.

Daniel: [ Laughs ] Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. The first thing we have to do is we have to make sure that this game is as good as it possibly can be. I mean, I want to make sure that every little detail of this world that I want to create is just right.

Lily: I don’t remember you being a perfectionist.

Daniel: Well, I haven’t always been this way.

[ Chuckles ] I don’t know. Maybe I just grew into it. You know? I mean, the way I see it, some things are worth being done perfectly, or don’t do them at all, right? And lucy deserves this to be perfect.

Lily: This means a lot to you, doesn’t it?

Daniel: It’s not just about the game or even the gaming division. This is about bettering myself, making a better life for myself and setting myself up for success. So, yeah, it means everything.

Chelsea: I haven’t been avoiding you, exactly. I-I think I’ve just been leaning on you too much, you know? Right now I need to be focused on my network of support — my therapist, adam, chloe, sharon. It’s not fair for me to expect you to always be there for me when I need someone to turn to.

Billy: Where is this coming from? I mean, what’s got you thinking that way? Is this something your therapist suggested or…?

Chelsea: Well, when I spoke with lily, she reminded me that I can’t possibly expect you to be there for me 24/7. And she’s right. I mean, she’s right, you know? You’ve got kids and a relationship and a life. The last thing I want is to ever become a burden to you.

Chance: Sorry to hear about you and sally, man.

Adam: Mm.

Chance: Oddly enough, I get it.

Adam: I don’t know how you can get it, chance. I mean, you’re lucky enough. You have the, uh, perfect marriage.

Chance: Trust me, man, my marriage is far from perfect. Abby and I are getting a divorce.

Adam: What? Come on. The two of you are splitting up?

Chance: Yeah.

Adam: What went wrong?

Chance: [ Sighs ] Everything. I don’t know. You know, trying to balance work and family, philosophical differences, spent too much time apart, you name it.

Adam: Sounds rough. But I’m not really buying that, chance.

Chance: Why would I lie about something like that?

Adam: Well, I don’t think you’re lying, exactly, but i just don’t think you’re telling me the whole story. You would do everything in your power to fix the problems in your relationship, and now you’re just jumping to divorce? It’s got to be more than just work-life-balance stuff. Something really bad must have went down.

Chance: Yeah. Yeah, you’re right. Something bad did go down. I tell you, man, it is driving me absolutely crazy. Feel like I have to confide in someone.

Adam: I’m listening.

Chance: Abby slept with someone else.

Adam: [ Scoffs ] Ieve so keep

Adam: Abby cheated on you

Adam: Abby cheated on you?

Chance: Yep. Look, I’m not trying to make her look bad or blame all our problems that we had on her. That’s why I haven’t told anybody. So keep your mouth shut.

Adam: Is this an ongoing affair?

Chance: No, she said it only happened once. You know, I actually believe her, too.

Adam: Well, maybe you could work things out then.

Chance: No. No, the sex just forced us to realize things were done. It was like an accelerator, a wake-up call. There’s no point in dragging this thing out any longer.

Adam: Yeah, I-I know exactly what you mean.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Nick. Please say something. What… what are — what are you feeling?

Nick: Obviously it’s, uh… not easy seeing adam leave your room knowing what happened in here. But I’m not gonna act all territorial with you, sally. You don’t owe me anything. Still, it’s, uh…

Sally: Look, I’m really sorry that you had to find out this way.

Nick: Don’t be sorry on my behalf. Like you said, it needed to happen, and I hope [Sighs] You got some closure.

Sally: I did.

Nick: Well, with closure comes grieving, and with grieving comes unresolved feelings and regrets. I think talk of moving on is a bit premature.

Sally: Look, I admit to the grief, okay? But I suspect that all of those feelings will fade away sooner rather than later — ’cause i finally feel like it’s over. And I know I made the right decision.

Nick: I doubt it’s gonna be that easy for my brother.

Sally: Look, I’m not worried about adam, okay? He’ll be just fine. What I want to focus on right now is you. I’ve said my piece. Now it’s your turn.

Daniel: So, tell me. How are things really going for you? Are you happy? Are you fulfilled?

Lily: [ Laughs ] Um…yeah, I am. I’m loving my life right now. I mean, this is the best job I’ve ever had. And of course, you know, there’s challenges, obviously.

Daniel: Well, you’re running a big corporation. Of course there’s gonna be challenges.

[ Both laugh ]

Lily: Yeah. I mean, I was really nervous at first to take on such a huge role, but then jill just — you know, she really supported me. And she and billy — they’ve boosted my confidence and convinced me that I could do it.

Daniel: Clearly, they were right.

Lily: Mm-hmm. And, yeah, the chancellor-winters merger was my idea.

Daniel: Really?

Lily: Yes. [ Laughs ] And devon, you know, took some convincing, but he was on board, and — I don’t know. I feel stronger than ever as the head of this company.

Daniel: Well, what about personally? How you doing in that department?

Lily: I mean, good. Um, you know, billy — he keeps things interesting.

[ Chuckles ]

Daniel: Mm. That is an interesting word choice.

[ Chuckles ]

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Daniel: Look, I got to be honest with you. When I first heard that you and billy were together, I found it hard to imagine how the two of you could make it long term as a couple. And now, you know, I’ve seen the two of you together… I’m sorry. It still just doesn’t make sense to me.

Billy: Okay, first things first — you gotta stop thinking that way, okay? You are in no way a burden to me. And, honestly, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else right now.

Chelsea: What about your family and lily?

Billy: Everybody’s good. Johnny’s on a ski trip. Victoria and katie have a little girls night out, and lily’s working late, so, you know, you’re actually saving me from a night alone. So, can’t we just sit down, have some snacks, and watch a movie?

Jack: What do you mean, the money’s gone? What happened to it?

Diane: I spent it.

Jack: I see.

Diane: Look, jeremy owed me that money after everything i had done for him, okay? And I-I couldn’t very well return it while he was on trial or in prison, could I? Especially since I was working with the authorities.

Jack: What did you buy with it?

Diane: I used it to rebuild my life. I mean, I-I bought my own place and I-I paid for the therapy that I desperately needed and I-I took the required courses to get my real-estate license.

Jack: Well, it sounds like you put it to good use.

Diane: [ Sighs ] Truth is, I was just so relieved to be out from under his thumb. I mean, finally, I could start my life again without — without fear or threats, and I — I felt safe while he was in prison. I mean, that — that money allowed me to do the hard work of — of putting myself back together. You know, I was determined to never have to depend on anyone ever again and to not have to compromise myself. Jack, that money bought me peace of mind that — that, for one moment, nobody could hurt me. And I-I felt free. Well, that is, until, you know, tucker mccall came poking around.

Jack: And you found yourself underneath someone else’s thumb.

Diane: Yeah. I mean, even though tucker helped me get back to genoa city and to you and to kyle, i just — [ Sighs ] I feel like I’ve been trying to escape from my past mistakes all over again ever since. And now that jeremy’s out of prison and came here, I just feel like the whole thing’s about to blow up.

Jack: Okay, okay. It seems like there’s one simple answer to getting stark out of your life. Let me help you repay the money.

Diane: No. No. Absolutely not. Ew. Gotta get rid of this. I think the big

[ Exhales heavily ]

Nick: I mean…

[ Exhales heavily ] I-I don’t know what else to say. Believe me, under this calm exterior, there’s raging jealousy. I think it’s gonna take more time than you think to, uh, get past this. I think the big question is, what does it mean for us? I don’t mean to put you on the spot.

Sally: No, you’re not at all. And I can answer that right now. I want us to date. You know, with my new sense of freedom, I’m ready to get to know you more fully now that i don’t have to worry what adam thinks every time he sees us out there together. That’s where I stand. The rest is up to you.

Billy: [ Laughs ] Come on. That’s ridiculous. Wow, hey, hey, what — what are you — what are you doing? What are you doing? Why are you shutting that off? It’s not over yet. You don’t — you don’t want to watch the end? That’s the best part.

Chelsea: Nope, not when you’re so busy heckling the screen, I don’T.

Billy: The movie is literally made to be heckled. I mean, do you want me to be quiet so you can hear what the martians have to say? I did not know that you actually spoke martian.

Chelsea: [ Laughs ] Ahh, you were right. I did need cheering up. Thanks for showing up uninvited.

Billy: Well, I didn’t show up because I’m an angel. I’m here because I needed this, too.

Lily: Uh, billy and I make a lot of sense together. Just ’cause we’re different doesn’t mean that we don’t work. I mean, no relationship is perfect. There’s always things to work on and work through.

Daniel: Mm. I mean, I know that better than anyone. A lot of people had doubts about the two of us when we were dating.

Lily: Yeah, exactly, right? That didn’t stop us.

Daniel: No. No, it did not.

[ Chuckles ] Sure went through a lot together, didn’t we, ibejuliet?

Lily: [ Laughing ] Oh, my god. I forgot about that.

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Lily: [ Laughs ] Wow. Look at us now. Stronger than ever, right?

Daniel: You know what? I’ll drink to that.

Lily: Cheers.

[ Glasses clink ]

[ Chuckles ]

Jack: If paying stark off is the one way to get him out of your life, why not accept my offer? Why turn me down?

Diane: [ Sighs ] Jack, your generosity is greatly appreciated, but I refuse to take any money from you. The whole point of my self-transformation was so that I would no longer have to rely on wealthy men. I am finally independent, and i plan to stay that way. So I will not allow you to buy me out of this mess.

Jack: Then consider it a loan.

Diane: [ Sighs ] Even if I was to pay jeremy back every dollar I owed him, it wouldn’t make a difference. If phyllis, nikki, and ashley have gotten the idea into his head that I ratted him out to the fbi, he’s going to want to punish me for it.

Jack: Let me ask you a question. I know you want to right your wrongs to make up for all the mistakes you made, but might it have been better if you had accepted the feds’ offer to enter witness protection when you had a chance?

Diane: No, there was — there was no way I was going to do that. Jack, if I had entered witness protection, I would have never been able to find my way back to my son. I mean, that door would have been closed forever. And getting back to kyle was my only goal, my — my only purpose in life.

[ Sighs ] But now — you know what? — I am at the end of my rope. I mean, what am I supposed to do? I’ve got to figure out a way to protect myself from this dangerous criminal.

Jack: Okay, listen to me. I know you want to be independent. I know you want to help yourself. But it’s also clear you put yourself at great personal risk coming back here to us. So, you need to know this. Kyle and I will not let that man do anything to you. You have to believe me on this. You are safe. You are safe here now.

Diane: Thank you. I can’t tell you how grateful I am for your support.

Chance: What’d you mean by that, man? Did you or sally cheat?

Adam: Uh, no, no, not, um — not exactly. Sally and I tried one last time to reconnect. We tried to re-ignite what drew us together in the first place, but it was too late, you know? Too much has happened, and everything was just different.

Chance: Hey, you never know. You could find your way back to each other. Sometimes these things work out.

Adam: I don’t know. If you, the white knight, can’t make it work, I don’t know, uh, how much hope there is for me.

Sally: Maybe you should think things over. Take as long as you need to decide if you want to see me, too.

Nick: Yeah, I think that’s a good idea. We both need to think about things. It’s a lot to process.

Sally: I guess this is good night, then.

Nick: Night.

Diane: [ Sighs ] Thank you, jack, for being here, for your — for your protection and your generous offer of support, for — for everything. But I think I should go.

Jack: Oh, wait. I… I think it might be safer if you stayed in one of the guest rooms tonight.

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ] I don’t know how much safer i would be since ashley lives here, too, and I doubt your sister would be very happy to find me here in the morning.

Jack: You take that off your mind. I will handle ashley and anyone else. This is my home. And I want you here.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Steffy: You asked detective sanchez to bring the evidence from sheila’s bear attack because you think she’s still alive?

Finn: But it never felt right. It’s too easy. Sheila commits these heinous crimes, escapes and goes off into the woods and gets mauled by a bear? Case closed? No, steffy. I think she faked her own death and this toe could prove it.

Sheila: So, let’s just face it, little piggy, as much as I miss you, I’d sacrifice anything to be close to my son. Anything.

[ Door closing ]

Hope: How can you show your face around here after what you did? You really are shameless, aren’t you?

Hope: Are you going to say anything?

Thomas: Are you willing to listen?

Hope: You’re lucky I am even speaking to you. I believed in you, thomas. Our son believed in you.

Thomas: Just let me explain.

Sheila: Hey. Some fresh air to clear your mind. Chase all those demons out of your head.

Deacon: That depends. What’s this look on your face here?

Sheila: It’s a smile.

Deacon: Yeah, for most people. But with you, it’s a big flashing warning sign. What’s going on?

Sheila: I’m counting my lucky stars. You know, check that, because I know you’d like this one better. I’m counting my lucky toes. All nine of them.

Steffy: Did you tell the police you think sheila’s still alive?

Finn: No, not till I can confirm it. I want to check my theory.

Steffy: Babe, what she did to us was horrible. And I know it feels as though we didn’t get any justice, but, the authorities already looked into this and the evidence points to a bear attack. I mean, they found her id, bloody hair, bloody clothes, the toe.

Finn: And that’s all. If she was attacked by a wild animal, don’t you think that they would have found a little bit more than a toe? Her middle toe? See to me, this looks too clean. I want to take another look at it. But this does not look to be the result of an animal attack.

Steffy: You really think sheila carter cut off her own toe?

Finn: You always told me she was capable of anything. She knew that we would never stop looking for. Faking her own death was the only way out. Christmas trees try so hard.

Hope: Why should I listen to anything you have to say? All you’ve done is lie.

Thomas: Hope, my family was finally coming together. Something I’ve always wanted, my parents were getting so close.

Hope: So if only there was some way to get rid of my mother and to turn ridge against her once and for all.

Thomas: How many times has he left her? How many years would this go on over and over again? All the while, my whole family and my mother suffering.

Hope: Your family is suffering now. Did you even take into account how difficult that must have been for steffy to stand up to you for your own son? And I know stepfy wanted your parents back together just as much as you did. She wasn’t going to trick ridge into marrying taylor.

Thomas: My dad wanted to marry my mother because he loves her. There was no trick. Okay, so that’s not fair.

Hope: Fair? Fair. I’ll tell you what’s not fair. You sabotaging my mother’s marriage. You using our son.

Thomas: I never wanted douglas involved in any of this. And, you know, with my dad and your mother not being together, it means that deacon actually–

Hope: Oh, stop. Would you stop trying to spin this?

Thomas: I was trying to do something good, hope, and I realized nothing good came from it. My family won’t speak to me, my sister, my father, my mother, my grandfather. Nobody. But I can handle all of that. If I could just get you to listen to me. You don’t have to forgive me. You don’t have to fully understand why I did it. But at least listen to me. Because we’ve gotten so close, hope, you and I. We’ve been working together, raising douglas. And I saw this future right in front of me, of a whole family. A mother and father together, yeah, but also me with my son in the home. And you were a part of that picture, too. And now it’s all falling apart. But what I don’t want to fall apart is our connection or my relationship with my son.

Deacon: Look, I– I care about you. I do. I gave you a place to hole up. But you got to face facts.

Sheila: You need to stop looking for catastrophes everywhere.

Deacon: That’s the only way this ends with lights and sirens and cops busting through that door.

Sheila: The landlord’s not going to like that one.

[ Sighs ]

Deacon: Look, there’s another alternative here. You can turn yourself in. Hear me out. Look, you didn’t kill anyone. It’s attempted murder. You wouldn’t be in prison–

Sheila: Absolutely not.

Deacon. You’re going to get caught. You’re going to take me down with you.

Sheila: Okay, so that’s what this is really about. You. You don’t care what happens to me, no. You’re just looking out for yourself.

Deacon: You’re damn right I am. I should have been from the beginning. You’re just lucky I– that I’m a sucker for a good sob story.

Sheila: Mm. Did I not show you? I love gratitude.

Deacon: Oh, damn it, sheila. Come on. You’re smarter than this. I know you are.

Sheila: I’m not giving up. I didn’t cut off my toe and go through that excruciating pain just so I could limp around the rest of my days in a prison cell.

Steffy: It doesn’t bother you?

Finn: No. I’ve seen worse in the E.R.

Steffy: No, I mean, it’s– it’s your birth mothers toe.

Finn: She shot me, steffy. She shot you, too. She held me hostage and let my family think I’m dead. If she’s out there, I need to know. But look, if– if this is too much for you, I can just…

Steffy: No, we do– we need to know. So what are you thinking? Is your hunch right? Finn.

Finn: I’m positive. There was no attack. She did this to herself.

Steffy: Sheila’s alive. I’m sholeh and I lost 75 pounds with golo.

Hope: You want me to understand what you did? How you could be so heartless?

Thomas: That’s what I’m trying to tell you. It wasn’t heartless, it wasn’t malicious. I was trying to protect my mother from all the pain she’s been through.

Hope: Do you ever wonder what this plan might do to our son? That call to cps might have been fake, but the visit wasn’T. Douglas was questioned. He could have been taken away.

Thomas: No. Douglas was perfectly safe, and they never would have found anything.

Hope: That is not the point, thomas. The call should have never been made in the first place. You should have never asked your son to lie again when he found out the truth. And he understands that. Why don’t you? Now he doesn’t even want to see you anymore.

Thomas: No, I don’t believe that.

Hope: Yeah, it’s true. And that is your doing. All he wanted was a relationship with you, thomas. He loves you, and you are the one destroying that.

Thomas: I did everything I could to keep douglas out of this. I never wanted him involved. And, you know, if donna hadn’t told him that he can–

Hope: Stop, stop, stop! Thomas, this is on you. You were the one who put him in the middle of this. Sometimes I don’t even understand how he could be related to you because he is nothing like you. He is brave, he is compassionate, and he is not afraid to tell the truth. Unlike you, whose first instinct is to always lie, no matter what the consequences, no matter who gets hurt. No matter what destruction.

[ Sighs ] I can’t believe I ever trusted you again.

Sheila: Finn and hayes, they gave me the courage to do what I did. Do you know, the excruciating agony that I went through. I cut my own toe off, deacon, to stay out of prison. I am not turning myself in.

Deacon: You don’t get it, do you? You are putting us both in jeopardy. Sheila, this is the end of the line. There’s no way out.

Sheila: There is–

Deacon: No, there is not a way out! There’s not. Not this time. Look, I’m sorry. If you don’t turn yourself in, I’m going to do it.

Sheila: You would not do that to me.

Deacon: This has to end. It’s time.

Finn: So you agree, the photo I sent you? Yeah, that’s what I see, too. Thank you, jim. Yeah. Sheila didn’t lose that toe from a bear attack.

Steffy: Are you sure?

Finn: Come see for yourself. An animal attack would cause more tissue damage. That kind of injury would result from ripping and tearing. Take a look at the base of the toe. See the straight cuts? There’s no teeth marks. There’s no other signs of trauma. She amputated the toe and she tried to make it look like a bear attack.

Steffy: Oh, my god. Oh, my god, you’re right. Sheila did this so she could get away.

Finn: Bloody clothing and a staged campsite weren’t enough. She needed to give the police and our family some tangible evidence, proof that she was dead. But this. This. This only proves how truly diabolical she is.

Steffy: Oh, finn. Smooth dark chocolate, refreshing peppermint,

Thomas: I didn’t– I didn’t manipulate you, hope. Our connection is real.

Hope: And if it is, you used it against me to make me believe that you had changed. I put my faith in you.

Thomas: You gave me a chance to prove myself. And I did.

Hope: And you threw it away. I mean… we were a team. At work, as parents. I defended you to my mother, to liam. But they were right about you all along.

Thomas: No, they wouldn’t give me the benefit of the doubt. And you did.

Hope: I wish I hadn’T.

Thomas: Please don’t give up on me.

Hope: How can you even ask that of me after everything you’ve done? You know, I can’t believe it fell for it. But, you were– you were real convincing. You were real sincere and earnest. You know, maybe I… could have stopped my mom’s heartbreak. Or my son’s disappointment. If I had just trusted myself. Like when you took douglas to stay at eric’s, right? He was happy. He was having a good time, so I went along with it. Because I cared about my son’s happiness. And so, I spent time there. And more and more, our lives became intertwined. And I let my guard down. I did. And then you try to kiss me.

Thomas: That kiss wasn’t calculated. You crossed a line.

Thomas: Look, I thought that we– we weren’t going to talk about that again.

Hope: Ah ha! That’s until I found out all the other horrible things you’ve been up to.

Thomas: Me trying to kiss you wasn’t a horrible thing. It just happened. And excitement in the moment and out of love. And like I’ve told you before. Unlike other men. I can only love one woman. And I love you.

Hope: And I… love… liam. Never you. Especially after this betrayal. You know, I thought I knew you. I thought we were friends. And yeah, sure… yeah. You’re a talented designer, but I can’t even fathom working with you now.

Thomas: Please, don’t say that, you don’t mean that.

Hope: I do. I used to see this man who was trying so hard to grow and to better himself and to be worthy of his son’s love. But now? All I see… is a sad, pathetic man who kept me from beth. Who didn’t care about his son’s safety. So he called cps on himself. And for what?

Thomas: Hope, wait, you did–

[Door slamming] You didn’t give me a chance to explain.

Sheila: You should know better than to threaten me.

Deacon: I’m not threatening you, I’m trying to reason with you. Where the hell do you think you’re going anyway? That stupid disguise isn’t going to save you. Your time is up.

Sheila: Never!

Deacon: Crazy!

Steffy: What are we going to do? What– what are we going to do?

Finn: We have to tell the police.

Steffy: If sheila is still alive she’s had months to cover her tracks.

Finn: I know. I know.

Steffy: We thought she was gone for good. We thought she could never hurt us again.

Finn: She won’T. Okay? I won’t let that happen.

Steffy: Finn, she played us.

Finn: No. She tried. Hey, but we’re on to her now. She thinks that she’s gotten away with this. That gives us the upper hand, right?

Steffy: No.

Finn: Yes. Sheila staged her own death. Sheila’s alive. She can still pay for her crimes.

Steffy: This is your birth mother we’re talking about?

Finn: No, we broke that connection when she pulled out that gun.

Steffy: She shot you, finn.

Finn: She shot you. I am not going to let this go, steffy. Okay? I will find sheila carter. I will not let it rest. And she will go to prison for the rest of her life.

[Steffy gasps]

Deacon: Sheila, this is the end of the line. There’s no way out.

Sheila: There’s always a way out.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Oh, please. Let the bad sun go away.

Good morning, sunshine. Oh God.

Hey, handsome. What you in for?

Oh no,

there’s no hot water. The other is you just have to turn on the shower 10 minutes before you wanna take a shower.

Oh, you look adorable. Show up last night. I, uh, wasn’t expecting to sleep over. Oh, just go take a shower and grab one of, uh, race ropes. I don’t want whatever. You’re making a good cold

and I’ve decided. I’m owning this. Look, you’re gonna wake up to me in this row for the rest of your life. Oh, that’s fine by me because I know how easy it is to take it off.

Johnny. Hey, what’s going on? Hey, uh, I’m, I’m sorry to call you so early. I just, I had to know, do you still think we’re doing the right. Johnny, I’m just not sure anymore. God, I hate keeping it quiet. Wendy. You have to. Okay. You can’t tell Gabby this is so unfair to her. Look, you don’t know Gabby like I do.

Okay? If she, if she finds out, did my dad and your brother brainwashed Stephan, she’s gonna make him pay, you know, you know how tortured she is. Knowing Stephan doesn’t love her. It doesn’t love her is an understatement. I can’t stand the sight of her. Yeah, exactly. Okay. And she will be out for blood if she finds out that Lee and my dad had anything to do with it.

So please just stick to the plan. Okay then. Okay. I will try to put my dance aside.

This is our little secret and it will stay that way, Wendy. I didn’t know you were home

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

You have to stop calling so early. The phone woke alley up. Oh God. Did, did she hear you? Its me. Call you later. Sorry about that. No, it’s fine. Chanel Henry a daycare, so I got plenty of sleep. Um, when did you get back During the night. Did you see my note about why I was gone? Yeah, I did. Um, mind me asking who you were talking to just now?

Oh, it was Johnny. Did he go along on this trip you took? Yeah. Oh, so the two of you went on some mysterious trip together and now he’s calling you first thing in the morning. What happened between you two? Unless, of course, that’s the thing that you’re promising to keep a secret.

Oh, thank you. You’re welcome.

Best way, best ranch shadows I’ve ever had. Oh, of course there. It’s cause I’m an excellent cook. So, um, after we get married we can move in here. Um, Hey, I do this every morning. . So not happening . So you’d rather stand Salem in? No, I mean that’s not what I. I don’t know. I don’t wanna move in with my brother again.

I guess we can find our own place. Yeah, exactly. And when we do, you can spend a couple morning learning how to make.

Oh no. What a shame.

Now what? Don’t look at me now. I’ve really never approved of the facing public property, but it sure does look like the public opinion’s turning against you. Oh, I know how much you hated it when I was released on bail, not. I’m very happy the judge will let you out. Those spirit claw you make her to die for.

And then there’s the fact that the inmate who took your old cell is none other than your mother.

Paul,

I didn’t expect to see you here. Hmm, and I didn’t expect to see the dude who married me to Abe in the next L. I didn’t expect to see that either. You are Marlena’s son and he used to be a priest. They picked up the wrong guy. Right? Wrong. Oh, what? Don’t keep me a suspect. What’d they get? You? Assault and battery.

Ooh. Ex priest has a temper under the right circumstance. Yes, he does. Mm. So who you assault and batter? SMUGs. Son of a bitch who’s had it coming for a very long time.

Oh my God. What did we do? Isn’t it?

But how, how did it happen? You don’t remember? I’m going to try and not take that personally,

but that much drink could cause havoc on anyone’s memory. So, yeah, I, I, I do remember the two of us getting pretty. Yeah, I was a wreck over my mother. And you were a wreck over Eric. So last night we decided to drown. Our saw was in alcohol and then we came back here. Line Rapid. Oh God. Oh God. Eric was right about what?

I get dumped by a man and I get drunk and I turn into a helpless.

Okay. Okay, Mary. I’m not a hopeless sled and maybe I didn’t sleep with ej. Uh, come in

good morning, sunshine, or maybe I’m dead wrong.

I have to get going now. Yeah. I have an appointment with the florist. I know how much you’ve been looking forward to that. Oh, um, how long does it take for the shower to warm up? It’s okay. I’ll just, you don’t have to be there while I’m picking up the table decorations so I can just show up later. Say I love everything and hit the floor is my credit card.

You get hun. Quick . See, I told you. We make the perfect. Or we will mind you learn a few recipes. Yeah, I’ll get right on that. Okay. I’ll see you. Love you. I love you too.

That’s why I did what I did. What I told Johnny I to keep quiet about was, Oh, I get it. The two of you’re hugging up, right? Oh, that’s fine with me. Honestly, it’s not my business. We don’t want other people finding out, you know, my brother, his dad. Yeah. No, I, I will not tell anybody thanks. It’s just, it’s it’s pretty new and, and we just wanna keep it to ourselves for now anyway.

Yeah, I mean, like I said, what you and Johnny do is none of my business . Well, the thing is, I know, but she used to be married. Oh yeah. That might have been a sore subject for her before, but, um, she has much bigger things to worry about now. If you wanna come after someone, you come after me. Oh, I intend to.

My mother wasn’t even in town the night your mother died. Oh. But she showed up fast enough to make sure she cut a check to the college to cover your ass. That’s a crime. My mother, she was trying to protect me. She knew I was getting railroaded. It must be nice to have a mother takes care of you like that because of you.

I don’t have that. Or a father. The only protection I have is my knowledge. Do you know? You’re the reason I had the Uck so hard. Yeah. So that you could find out what it feels like to have everything that you cared about, taken away from you.

Baby, you look like you’re dealing with a world class hangover. Well, because I am. You’re not gonna toss your cookies, are you? Because I, I can’t take that. Even when Chanel was little. I can’t, I’m not gonna do. So you punched EJ because you were drunk? Something I wanted to do a long time. Mm oh. EJ seems to rub just about everybody the wrong way.

Yeah. He likes to do that. Mm. My youngest daughter used to be married to Johnny, his son for a while. Oh. I made a mistake of thinking, thinking that he’d wanna make a good impression on the mother of his daughter-in-law. , but he called Chanel a gold digger. To my face, it sounds like something he would do.

So what did he, what did he do that made you wanna haul off and punch him?

What he said about Chanel wasn’t true. He only said it because he wanted to hurt you and her. And what he said about me was, The only reason why he said it because he liked to look on my face, so I decided to rearrange his.

I brought you some breakfast. Ooh, yeah. I’m gonna take a hard pass some breakfast. Ooh. Especially that green stuff. Ah, ah, ah. The green stuff is a guaranteed hangover. Cure my mi Mar’s recipe . You had a Meemaw. Mm-hmm. , Meemaw Banks. My mother’s mother, she passed down the recipe and my mother swore by it, used to brew it up for me.

It offers almost instantaneous relief. Word of honor. Instantaneous, huh? Mm-hmm. . Oh, here’s fun. Near eye.

Oh, I don’t think this is made right. Mm-hmm. , it’s supposed to taste like that. Mother always said the only way to make sure it doesn’t come back up is to gag on the way down. No drink up. Then I’m in good shape. Mm-hmm.

she always looked out for me. Especially when I couldn’t look out for myself.

Tony, uh Gabby. Hi. Hey, um, I’m really sorry about Susan. Yeah, thanks. Uh, I really miss. She was one of a kind that’s killing my dad. I wish I’d been here for Oh, that’s right. Yeah. At the accident you were jet sitting around the road with Wendy. Yeah. You know about that, huh? Lee was, was ready to fire Wendy. I had to talk him down.

You do know that taking the company Jet out is a little over the top. Wendy, just start at that top. Yeah, I guess you’re right. Question for you though. Made you pick Indonesia as your romantic getaway?

I can’t believe Chanel was in jail. Yeah, that’s not all. Wow. I’ve been gone a long time. Honestly, it all happened really, really fast. But why? Well, there was something in Chanel’s past that I didn’t know about.

Wendy, you’re back. I just found out that you got arrested. I’m so sorry. Thanks. But you’re here. So what does that mean? They dropped the charges? No, I’m just out on bail. Um, I thought you were gonna open sos. Oh, I did. And then my day pretty much fell apart.

That grows on you, doesn’t it? Oh yeah. like a fungus , but I am feeling a little bitter. Thank you, cook for pad. I just provided the recipe, mom, not just for this, but for letting me stay the night. Sleeping in the office leaves something to be desired. Waking up in Egyptian cotton sheets is the bright spot of my morning

I wonder how Eric’s morning is sleeping one off on a caught in a jail. I’d say his morning is exactly as he deserves.

Paulina, can we not talk about last night anymore? Ah, I got my own EJ to deal with. Is he the reason why you. It’s a she. Hell have no fury, like a bitch with an ax to grind. I’m sorry. She’s not just going after me. She’s making it her business. Go after my daughter. What? I wouldn’t give, not the smirk of that phase of her.

Well, go ahead. Take your best shot.

I can’t believe Eric was drunk. I mean, he’s been sober since, since he caused that accident that killed Daniel. He told me last night, it’s just, I never seen him that drunk. I feel awful for him. , you’re joking. I mean it. He called you a slut. Me The devil encounter then punched me in the face. I. And then you backed me up when I decided to press charges against him.

I had several martinis by then. You’re not having second thoughts, are you?

Now that I’m sober, yeah. I’m having second thoughts.

She’s ready to take me. Now that there’s this set of bars between us, actually I just came to check out how you’re enjoying your new accommodations. Bit of a comedown from Governor Elect. I’ll be back on top. You’ll see. I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you. And by the way, your daughter, she um, she says hello.

You stay away from my baby. Your devotion to her is touching, but once you worry, you’ll be able to fight all her battles for her as soon as the two of you are serving time for which you did to my mother. I know how painful your mother’s death must have been, but that doesn’t change the fact it was an accident.

No, push my mother off that roof when we both know it. I don’t know any such thing. And you, you convinced the authority that my mother killed herself. So look, you can just drop this victim act. This is not gonna work for you anymore. This is not an act. I’m on this side of the boss. You did that to me because my mother was your victim and I’m your victim.

This Sloan sounds like someone you don’t wanna cross. Tell me about. Do you think she’s the one who wrote Murderer on the Window? Yeah. Who else would do something like that? She is not going to stop trying to make my life hell. You wouldn’t even crossed paths with Sloan’s mother if she hadn’t invited you and lied to you up until that roof and then she attacked snow.

And then I tried to push her off of me and she lost her balance and fell. That’s really how it happened. Yes. Yeah. You know that and I know that, but nobody’s gonna convince Sloan that her mother wasn’t out to get me. Why was that? Her husband was one of my professors and I had an affair with him. Oh. And right before he drank himself to death.

He told Sloan that her mother’s death wasn’t actually a suicide like everyone thought he told her that I pushed her. Oh my God, that’s awful. And never since then, Sloan has been out to get me and it’s working. And now I am being charged with murder and my mom is, is in jail for supposedly covering it up.

And what scares me is that I don’t think Sloane’s gonna stop there. I’m afraid that she’s not gonna stop until she goes after everyone that I.

So wait, if I went to Jakarta, what, where should I stay? What should I do actually, what should I buy? Uh, you know, I, I, I really don’t know much about the place. We made us come back right when we got there. I could see that it was beautiful though. Uh, maybe you and Lee could go there for your honeymoon.

Good. I’ll put it on the list. Yeah. You guys haven’t made plans. Well, no. How come? I mean, you, you’re getting married in a couple of weeks. Lee’s been really busy and I dunno, anything about planning honeymoon? I’ve never been on one, so Really? Yeah, my first husband and I, we didn’t have a lot of money and romance wasn’t in the picture when I married Stefan.

I fell in love with him later and actually talking about going on a honeymoon when I lost him. I don’t even know why I’m telling you all of this because Stephan. Nothing to do with me or probably never did. So, you know what, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry about Susan. Gabby. I have to tell you something.

Oh, blueberry pancakes. The blueberries were in the fridge. You did not have to do this. You guys have been so nice about letting me stay here. Please. You’ve hardly even been home. Yeah, but you’re going through such a rotten time here. I’ll get this up. Hey, if the woman wants to make us pancakes, let her make us pancakes.

Anytime I can help with the cooking, just let me know. Thanks.

Mm. These are great. Let’s see.

Hmm. Hmm. They really are. Yeah. I was starving. Maybe eating something will help make you feel better. Anyway, I, I don’t need a distraction. So tell me about your trip. . So, um, it sounds like it was exciting. Why did you rush back? You know, I hate to disappoint you, but it was mostly work stuff.

What did you wanna tell me? It’s about your wedding, eh, ladies, I made it. Hey. Yeah, right on time to help me pick everything. Yeah, you go ahead. I just gotta. Talk to Johnny about his little trip to Jakarta and uh, I’ll be right there. Go easy on him. Okay? Yeah. Find me later. Yeah.

You were just about to tell her what I did. Stephan, right?

Erica’s such a knack for making you feel guilty. Did he learn that while studying to be a priest? I don’t feel guilty. . I don’t, I just don’t think he should have been thrown in jail. He punched me in the face. Well, because you said he was stupid enough to lose me and the baby. I thought you didn’t remember anything from last night.

Well, that’s hard to forget. It’s junk as I was,

um, by the way, uh, did we have sex?

No good.

I could call the DA’s office and tell them I no longer wish to press charges or Sean Brady. He might not be so forgiving. I know.

If you would like me to make that call, I will for you.

If you think that nailing you and your daughter makes me happy, you’re wrong. I loved my mother. Nothing that I do will bring her back to. Chanel didn’t start this, your daddy did. When he seduced her, Chanel did the seduce her, and I’m sure this wasn’t the first time he used his position to take advantage of a pretty female student.

Any good PI will have no trouble digging up his other conquests. So if you wanna blame somebody for your mother’s death, you blame him. I just had a thought. Why don’t you pull some of those strings? You’re so famous for pulling. Get you and Chanel thrown into the same joint that your other daughter’s serving.

Time in for murder. God, get this snake outta here. Don’t let her in here again. I can’t just take you upstairs. Miss Brady’s here. Who? Oh, Brady, your lawyer. Oh. Oh. Good lot to, well, you can also tell Ms. Brady that I have hard evidence that details what you did to cover up Chanel’s crime. And tell her I said good luck to her because she’s gonna need it.

What are you gawing at?

I know Eric hurt me, but I don’t think he should spend any more time in jail.

As you wish,

straight to voicemail, it’s EJ Dira. Ms. Trask, please call me back at your earliest convenience. It’s about the assault charges I filed last night.

Satisfied. Yes,

I’m willing to do what you want. But don’t you think Eric deserves to find out that he can’t get away with treating you like rubbish?

I didn’t want to witness that scene anymore than you wanted me. Fortunately I couldn’t exactly leave the room.

Well, I have good to despise pulling a price. Hmm, I know, I heard. Well, just so you know, if she thinks that that two bit bimbo lawyer of hers is gonna get her out of this one, she’s gonna be sorely disappointed. Phil Brady’s not a two bit lawyer. She’s not a bimbo. And how do you know? Because she’s my sister.

Alright, well I would stay and help with the dishes, but I actually have to run the visiting hours at Salem City Jail. Just started, I am actually going to walk out with you. Um, it’s time to pick up Henry from daycare and I also said I’d taken see Santa at Barons also. I’m gonna stop by the bakery and check on the wedding cake design for your brother’s wedding.

Wait, you’re doing the cake for Lee and Gabby’s wedding? Yes. . No . Yeah. And the man was very specific about what he wanted. Why am I not surprised? Yeah, it’s okay. I mean, he seems really excited about marrying Gabby. I’m sure you’re really excited too. Oh yeah. Excited. That’d be me.

Okay. I saw the look on your face when I showed up. You’re just about to tell Gabby what you learn. Ja. What? What I learned. What are you talking about? Look, I already talked to Ralph. He told me everything. You know it talked to my sister. She said you keep her mouth shut. She said you would too. Have you changed your mind?

Nope. I won’t say anything. You sure your dad was in on this? You seem pretty eager to get something on him. Not anymore. All right. Not after he. Lost his mom. Her revenge doesn’t appeal to me. Get that. You made the right decision. Look, I said I’d keep my mouth shut. I didn’t say I’m okay with what you did to Steph.

I’ll tell you the truth. I think it sucks. I think you suck. I don’t care what you think of me, just stay outta my way. Must be nice just going through life without a. Hey, uh, is everything okay here? Yeah. Yeah. I was just telling your, uh, your fiance here. What a lucky guy he is. I’ll see you guys.

What are you doing here? Sally? Here? No, she and Chanal are gone. Come in. How much did she hear when I called earlier? Oh, she is heard me say that I keep the secret. Ah, uh no, it, it’s okay. She thought that you and I were hooking up and I said she was right. And that we don’t want anybody to know. Nice.

That’s Allie for you. Jumping to crazy conclusions. . Well, it was worse than that. She was all for it. Well then I guess we’ll just have to keep her thinking she’s right about us. Um, anyway, the reason that I came over was because I just had a major run in with your brother. Why? He got me talking to Gabby and he thought I was about to tell her what he did.

Were you? No, no, not at first, but then she started talking about how much she loves Stephan, and I could tell she still does. And so, yeah. Yeah, for a second I thought about telling her the truth and that’s when we walked up. So she still doesn’t know anything. No. And your brother made it very clear that we would pay if she finds out, gets like.

I think it’s gonna be harder to keep the secret than we thought.

The tables are gonna look really pretty. What’d you think? I’ll just be looking at you . Who are you talking so intently with Johnny about. Oh, well he can’t believe that. We haven’t picked our honeymoon yet. Huh? We should do that tonight. I can’t wait for this wedding to happen. Me neither. You know Johnny said you were a lucky guy, but I think we’re both lucky.

Thank God I found you.

I’m so glad to see you, but. Why did that cop say he was bringing me up here to see my lawyer? Well, bell was here, but she had to take an important call. So they said we could have a quick visit until she gets back. How are you? Are they treating you all right? Oh, takes more than a jail cell to keep me down, but, uh, some idiot cop let’s Sloan come down there and glow.

She’s having quite the morning. What? What do you mean someone scribbled a murderer on the baker? Oh, what? Yep. And it’s gone now. But Sloan showed up while I was cleaning it. Oh, well, she’s still in here. You know, I, I don’t, I don’t want you to have to deal with her again. You, you can get out of it. No, no. I’m not going anywhere.

Chanel, no, I mean it. You were here for me when I needed you. You’re my mama and I love you and I am going to do the same thing for you.

That’s really your.

Then, I’m sorry if I offended you. It’s okay. So why is she just here to see Paulina then? I mean, isn’t she gonna defend you too? I asked her, but she refused. Why? Well, let’s say I got a little hostile with her husband and he ended up on the ground. You knocked him down. It’s funny, you don’t really seem like the kind of guy I do a thing like that.

It’s been a hard week. I mean, I found out some things I didn’t want to know. That’s no excuse.

Sometimes life it gets so hard to take. Yeah. And anger’s the only thing that keeps you going. Acting out on that anger. Leave you needing a lawyer, which you still do need, right?

Yes, I definitely do. So what about me?

Well, I have to take a shower and get going. I promise Holly that I’d find us a place to live today. Oof. That could take more than. Well, I can’t leave Holly with Maggie indefinitely, and I kind of miss being with her . I have an idea. Why don’t you and Holly stay here until you find something? Oh, I, I, I, I couldn’t impose after all these years, you haven’t realized that Harold and the staff do all the work,

Yeah. But you’re still grieving for Susan and you are still grieving for your hopes for you and Eric.

Yeah, misery really does love company. Unless you have a better offer than the Dira Mansion. I don’t think so.

Oh, okay. Fine. Except . Good. Good. Oh,

to New Beginnings, thank.

Chanel walks through the town square and finds that someone has spray painted “Murderer” on the Bakery.

Gabi is cooking at home as Li joins her, wearing one of her robes. They joke about it as Li mentions that he wasn’t planning on sleeping over but she’ll be waking up to him in the robe for the rest of their lives. Gabi jokes that’s fine by her as she knows how easy it is to take off as they kiss.

Johnny calls Wendy and says he had to know if she still thinks they are doing the right thing. Wendy admits that she’s not sure anymore as she hates keeping it quiet. Johnny reminds her that she has to and she cannot tell Gabi. Wendy feels it’s so unfair to Gabi .Johnny warns her that she doesn’t know Gabi like he does and if she finds out that EJ and Li brainwashed Stefan, she’s going to make them pay because of how tortured she is over Stefan not loving her. Johnny states that Gabi will be out for blood if she finds out that EJ and Li had anything to do with it. Johnny pleads with Wendy to stick with the plan. Wendy agrees to try and declares that it will stay their little secret. Allie then comes in and says she didn’t know Wendy was home.

Paulina questions an ex-priest having a temper. Eric confirms he does under the right circumstances. Paulina asks who he assaulted. Eric responds that it was a smug son of a bitch who has had it coming for a very long time.

Nicole wakes up from her nightmare about having had sex with EJ. Nicole is relieved that she’s alone and says maybe she’s not a hopeless slut if she didn’t sleep with EJ. EJ then enters to bring her breakfast in bed, so Nicole suggests maybe she is dead wrong.

Gabi tells Li that she has to get going as she has an appointment with the florist. Li jokes about not having to be there as Gabi says they will make the perfect couple. They say I love you as Gabi kisses him goodbye and exits. Li remarks to himself that loving Gabi is why he did what he did.

Allie asks Wendy if she and Johnny are hooking up and says it’s fine with her as it’s none of her business. Wendy says they don’t want anyone finding out like Li and EJ. Allie agrees to keep quiet as Wendy says it’s still new so they just want to keep it to themselves for right now. Allie repeats that what they do is none of her business. Wendy brings up that Johnny and Chanel used to be married. Allie says that might have been a sore subject before, but Chanel has much bigger things to worry about now.

Chanel tells Sloan to come after her. Sloan says she intends to. Chanel argues that Paulina wasn’t even in town on the night that Sloan’s mother died. Sloan argues that she showed up fast enough to cut a check to cover her ass which is a crime. Chanel argues that Paulina was trying to protect her from being railroaded. Sloan remarks that it must be nice to have a mother that takes care of you like that. Sloan adds that because of Chanel, she doesn’t have a mother or a father and her only protection is her knowledge of the law. Sloan wanted Chanel to have the same feeling of having everything she cares about taken away from her.

Paulina comments on Eric looking like he’s recovering from a hangover which he confirms. Paulina asks if Eric punched EJ because he was drunk. Eric responds that it was something he’s wanted to do for a long time. Paulina remarks that EJ seems to rub everybody the wrong way. Paulina brings up Chanel being married to Johnny and says she made the mistake of thinking EJ would want to make a good impression on her, but he called Chanel a gold digger to her face. Eric comments that it sounds like something EJ would do. Paulina asks what EJ said to make Eric punch him. Eric explains that what EJ said about Chanel wasn’t true and he only said it to hurt them while what EJ said about him was true and he only said it for the look on his face, so he decided to rearrange EJ’s face.

Nicole tells EJ that she will pass on breakfast but EJ insists on a smoothie as a hangover cure that came from his grandmother passed down to his mother which will bring instant relief. Nicole tries it and complains of the taste but EJ encourages her. EJ remarks that Susan always looked out for him, especially when he couldn’t look out for himself.

Johnny walks through the town square and comes across Gabi. Gabi tells him that she’s really sorry about Susan. Johnny thanks her and says he really misses her. Gabi calls her one of a kind. Johnny mentions that it’s killing EJ and he wishes he was there for him. Gabi recalls that Johnny was jet setting around the world with Wendy when the accident happened. Johnny questions her knowing about that. Gabi confirms that Li was ready to fire Wendy and she had to talk him down. Gabi argues that taking the company jet out was a little over the top when Wendy just started on the job. Johnny guesses she’s right. Gabi then questions what made him pick Indonesia for their romantic getaway.

Wendy tells Allie that she can’t believe Chanel was in jail. Allie says that’s not at all. Wendy guesses she’s been gone a long time. Allie says it all happened really fast. Wendy asks why. Allie starts to explain that there was something in Chanel’s past that she didn’t know about. Chanel then comes home and acknowledges that Wendy is back. Wendy tells her that she just found out she got arrested and she’s so sorry. Wendy asks if they dropped the charges. Chanel clarifies that she’s out on bail. Allie thought Chanel was going to open the bakery. Chanel responds that she did and then her day pretty much fell apart.

Nicole jokes about the smoothie but admits she’s feeling a little better and thanks EJ for letting her stay the night. Nicole wonders how Eric’s morning is. EJ guesses it’s exactly as he deserves.

Eric tells Paulina that he doesn’t want to talk about last night anymore. Paulina says fine as she has her own EJ to deal with. Paulina complains about Sloan going after her and Chanel so she wishes she could smack the smile off her face. Sloan then appears outside her cell and tells her to go ahead and take her best shot.

Nicole can’t believe Eric was drunk since he’s been sober since the accident that killed Daniel and she’s never seen him that drunk, so she feels awful for him. EJ can’t believe that, reminding her that Eric called her a slut and punched him in the face and that Nicole backed him up when he decided to press charges. Nicole points out that she had several martinis by then. EJ questions if she’s having second thoughts. Nicole confirms that she is.

Paulina mocks Sloan being ready to take her on now that there are bars between them. Sloan mocks that she just came to check out her new accommodations and calls it quite a fall from Governor-elect. Paulina assures she’ll be back on top. Sloan says she wouldn’t hold her breath. Paulina tells Sloan to stay away from Chanel. Sloan jokes that Paulina can fight all of Chanel’s battles when they are both sharing a cell. Paulina argues that what happened was an accident but Sloan says they both know that Chanel pushed her mother off the roof. Sloan tells Paulina to just drop the victim act because her mother was her victim.

Wendy tells Allie and Chanel that Sloan sounds like someone you don’t want to cross. Allie asks if Chanel thinks Sloan is the one who wrote “Murderer” on the Bakery window. Chanel asks who else would do something like that and worries that Sloan is not going to stop trying to make her life hell. Allie argues that Chanel wouldn’t have even crossed paths with Sloan’s mother if she hadn’t lied to her and invited her to that roof. Chanel says they know it but no one will be able to convince Sloan otherwise. Chanel explains to Wendy that she had an affair with Sloan’s father and before he drank himself to death, he told Sloan that Chanel pushed her mother off the roof which Wendy calls awful. Chanel adds that ever since then, Sloan has been out to get here and now she’s being charged with murder while Paulina is in jail for supposedly covering it up. Chanel is afraid that Sloan won’t stop until she goes after everyone that she loves.

Gabi asks Johnny more about Jakarta but Johnny says he doesn’t know much about it since Li made them come back as soon as they got there. Johnny suggests Gabi and Li could go there for their honeymoon. Gabi agrees to put it on the list. Johnny questions them not making plans yet when they are getting married in a couple of weeks. Gabi says that Li has been really busy and she doesn’t know about planning a honeymoon since she’s never been on one. Gabi recalls the love not coming until later in her and Stefan’s relationship and how they were actually planning the honeymoon when she lost him. Gabi then says she doesn’t know why she is telling him this since Stefan wants nothing to do with her. Gabi repeats that she’s sorry about Susan and starts to walk off but Johnny stops her and says he has to tell her something…

Wendy makes breakfast for Allie and Chanel. Chanel says she didn’t have to but Wendy says they’ve been so nice in letting her stay. Allie points out that she’s hardly been there. Wendy comments on them going through a rough time and says to just let her know any time she can help with cooking. Allie and Chanel praise her pancakes. Wendy hopes it will make her feel better. Chanel says she needs a distraction so she asks Wendy about her trip, saying it sounds exciting and questions why she rushed back. Wendy claims to Chanel that it was mostly just work stuff while Allie smiles and nods along.

Gabi questions what Johnny wanted to tell her but Li arrives and interrupts them. Li tells Gabi to go on ahead as he has to talk with Johnny about his trip to Jakarta. Gabi tells Li to go easy on him and walks away. Li then questions if Johnny was just about to tell Gabi what he did to Stefan.

EJ tells Nicole about how Eric makes her feel guilty. Nicole argues that she doesn’t feel guilty but she doesn’t think he should’ve spent the night in jail. EJ argues that Eric punched him in the face. Nicole points out that was because EJ said he was stupid for losing her and the baby. EJ thought she didn’t remember anything from last night. Nicole calls that hard to forget. Nicole then asks EJ if they had sex. EJ confirms they did not which relieves her. EJ decides that he could call the district attorney’s office to tell them that he no longer wishes to press charges, but notes that Shawn might not be as forgiving. EJ says he will make that call for her if she would like him to.

Sloan tells Paulina that nailing her and Chanel doesn’t make her happy as she loved her mother and nothing she does will bring her back. Paulina blames Sloan’s father for seducing Chanel while Sloan argues that Chanel did the seducing. Paulina is sure it wasn’t the first time that he used his position on a pretty young female student and any private investigator can dig up his other conquests. Paulina suggests blaming him for her mother’s death. Sloan suggests Paulina pull strings to get her and Chanel in the same prison as Lani. Paulina then calls for the guard to get Sloan out. The guard comes over and says he’s here to take Paulina upstairs because Belle is there as her lawyer. Paulina says she has a lot to tell her. Sloan says she can also tell Belle that she has hard evidence that details what Paulina did to cover up Chanel’s crimes and that she’s going to need good luck as the guard escorts Paulina away. Sloan then looks over at Eric in his cell and questions what he is gawking at.

Nicole tells EJ that she knows Eric hurt her but she doesn’t think he should spend any more time in jail. EJ reluctantly agrees to her wishes and makes the call but it goes straight to voicemail. EJ leaves a message for Melinda to call him back about the assault charges he filed last night. Nicole says she is satisfied. EJ responds that he’s willing to do what she wants, but thinks that Eric deserves to find out that he can’t get away with treating her like rubbish.

Eric tells Sloan that he didn’t want to witness that scene but he couldn’t exactly leave the room. Sloan responds that she has good reason to despise Paulina. Eric says he heard. Sloan calls Belle a two bit bimbo that won’t be able to get Paulina out of this. Eric responds that Belle is not a two bit lawyer or a bimbo. Sloan questions how he knows. Eric then reveals that Belle is his sister.

Chanel says she would stay and help with the dishes but she has to go since visiting hours at the jail just started. Allie decides that she will walk her out since she has to go pick up Henry from daycare and then take him to see Santa. Allie adds that she will stop by the Bakery to check on the wedding cake design for Li and Gabi’s wedding. Wendy didn’t know they were doing the cake for the wedding. Allie mentions how excited Li seems to be to marry Gabi and guesses Wendy must be excited too.

Li guesses by the look on Johnny’s face that he was about to tell Gabi what he learned in Jakarta. Johnny questions what he’s talking about. Li informs him that he already talked to Dr. Rolf and knows that Johnny knows everything. Li adds that he talked to Wendy, who said she would keep her mouth shut and that Johnny would do the same. Li asks if he’s changed his mind. Johnny confirms that he’s not going to say anything. Li asks if he’s sure since EJ was in on this and he seemed pretty eager to get something on him. Johnny says not anymore after EJ lost his mom as revenge no longer appeals to him. Li tells Johnny that he made the right decision. Johnny clarifies that he’s keeping his mouth shut but he’s not okay with what he did to Stefan. Johnny declares that he thinks Li sucks. Li responds that he doesn’t care what he thinks of him and warns him to just stay out of his way. Johnny remarks that it must be nice to go through life without a conscience. Gabi comes back over and asks if everything is okay. Johnny claims he was just telling Li what a lucky guy he is as he then walks off.

Johnny goes to see Wendy, who asks what he’s doing there. Johnny questions how much Allie heard when he called earlier. Wendy says she heard her say that she was keeping a secret, but thought that they were hooking up so she went along with it which Johnny calls a nice save. Johnny jokes about Allie jumping to crazy conclusions. Wendy adds that Allie was all for it. Johnny guesses they will have to keep her thinking that then. Johnny adds that the reason he came over was because he just had a major run in with Li after he caught him talking to Gabi and thought he was going to tell her what Li did to Stefan. Wendy asks if he was going to. Johnny says not at first but then Gabi started talking about how much she loved Stefan and he can tell she still does. Johnny admits that for a second he thought about telling her the truth, but that’s when Li walked up. Johnny confirms that Gabi still doesn’t know anything and that Li made it very clear they would pay if she finds out. Johnny thinks it will be harder to keep this secret than they thought.

Li asks Gabi what she was talking to so intently with Johnny about. Gabi says that Johnny couldn’t believe they hadn’t picked out their honeymoon yet. Li suggests they should do that tonight and declares that he can’t wait for this wedding to happen. Gabi thinks they are both lucky and says thank God she found him as she hugs him.

Paulina meets with Chanel in the interrogation room. Paulina is thankful to see her but questions why they said she was meeting her lawyer. Chanel explains that Belle was there but she got a phone call, so they said they could have a quick visit until she gets back. Chanel asks how she is and how they are treating her. Paulina says it takes more than a jail cell to keep her down but complains about Sloan coming in to gloat. Chanel responds that Sloan is having quite the morning. Chanel tells Paulina about someone writing “Murderer” on the Bakery and how Sloan showed up as she was cleaning it off. Paulina worries about Sloan still being in the building and she doesn’t want Chanel to have to deal with her, so she suggests she go. Chanel refuses and points out that Paulina was there when she needed her, so she’s going to do the same thing for her.

Sloan questions Eric about Belle being his sister and apologizes if she offended him. Sloan then questions why Belle is here to see Paulina and isn’t representing him too. Eric responds that he asked her but she refused which Sloan questions. Eric says he got a little hostile with her husband and he ended up on the ground. Sloan calls it funny since Eric doesn’t seem like the type of guy to do something like that. Eric calls it a rough week and says he found out some things he didn’t want to know, but that’s no excuse. Sloan acknowledges that life sometimes gets hard to take. Eric agrees that anger can be the only thing to keep you going. Sloan comments that acting out on that anger can leave you needing a lawyer. Sloan then points out that Eric still needs a lawyer and asks what about her.

Nicole tells EJ that she has to shower and get going since she promised Holly that she would find them a place to live today. EJ notes that could take more than a day. Nicole feels she can’t leave Holly with Maggie indefinitely. EJ suggests Nicole and Holly both stay here until she finds something. Nicole says she couldn’t impose and he’s still grieving for Susan. EJ points out that Nicole is still grieving her hopes for her and Eric. EJ remarks that misery loves company unless she has a better offer. Nicole then gives in and accepts. EJ toasts their smoothies to new beginnings as she thanks him.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Knock on door ] Curtis, what can I do for you? You can check the “joyfully accepts” box. I came to invite you to our wedding. And how did your follow-up go? Oh, just like all the others. I still don’t understand why I have to be poked and prodded on every few months. Can’t they see I’m my old self again? Well, who you calling old? You left your purse in the exam room. I didn’t leave it. I just wanted to give you something to do. And you are the man that I wanted to talk to. Oh? Yes. Have you given any thought to what we discussed on thanksgiving?

[ Sighs ] Oh, what did I miss? Nothing. Let’s go. Wa-uh-uh-uh — no, no, no. I’m not going anywhere. And somebody better start talking right now. Well, I suggested that marshall might want to get genetic counseling.

[ Clears throat ] Thank you so much for convincing curtis to let me off of house arrest so I can come out with you. You are not under house arrest. I mean, it sure feels that way sometimes.

[ Sighs ] Curtis just wants to keep you safe. We all do. But it’s broad daylight, we’re in a public place. I happen to have a gun in my purse.

[ Whispers ] Ava. I do. I have a permit. I know how to use it.

[ Chuckles ] But enough about security, though. Okay, let’s get into the holiday spirit. Let’s see. Oh, this! This should be my new look, I think. What do you think? I — is that good? Yeah, I think avery thinks so.

[ Laughs ] How many gifts have you gotten her? Eh, probably too many. But I love it. I love spoiling my little girl. This is nice, isn’t it? Spending time together. I miss seeing you every day at the gallery. Not any more than I miss you. Oh, but look, I have, um, some competition. Somebody else who covets your time and attention. You wouldn’t know it inside these walls, but out there, is christmastime, with all the magic and merriment it entails. If you say so. You know, spencer, it’s, uh, not lost on me that you’ve been keeping your distance ever since your great uncle’s visit. How perceptive. Would you like a prize? What I’d like is some common sense on your part. Tell me you’ve realized which side of your family you can trust. Happy holidays, mr. Cassadine. You have something for me? My intel confirms that holly sutton has a long recovery ahead. And the necklace? The authorities still believe it was destroyed in the fire. Unacceptable. Johnny, I thought you said I had a visitor. Hello, heather. Long time, no see. Hello, friend. Hey, what do you think? Yay or nay for violet’s stocking? No. Yay! Yay? Look at you, all christmassy. Used to be all “bah humbuggy.” Yeah, that’s before violet changed everything. For the better. That’s what kids do. It’s also what significant others do. Subtle. Very subtle. What do you think? Too blingy? I think you’re too blingy. Is that your way of ignoring my advice that I gave you? That you should talk to elizabeth? Nikolas: Thank you for coming so quickly. Is esme faking again? I don’t think so, but you’re the professional. Nikolas: What’s wrong with her? Has she been given any meds? Uh, just the prenatal vitamins that you brought her. Can I see them? Uh, yeah. Those were supposed to last a month. Are you suggesting that she took all of these?

[ Groaning softly ] You don’t need to get that personal. And tj is al we discussed you — you really didn’t have to include me. Well, we wanted to. We discussed it, and it just feels right having you there. Why? Because you’re important to me. And you’re tj’s mother, and tj is always going to be like family, which makes you family. And you know I throw a mean party. You always have.

[ Chuckles ] And hopefully… you will have caught the hook killer by then. And everyone in port charles can breathe easy. You sound confident. Well, after that recent article in the invader, it’s only a matter of time now. Right? Not necessarily. Alexis and her paper may have hurt our investigation, not helped it. Can you overdose on vitamins? You can overdose on pretty much anything. We need to pump her stomach immediately. Are you insane? You know, this little routine of yours is getting pretty old. If I were you, I’d try some new material. You didn’t really believe that we would fall for another fake-out?

[ Chuckles ] But you did. And you even called up your, uh, trusty florence nightingale, here. Yeah, okay. Well, excuse me for caring about my child.

Our child. And you. Were you seriously gonna pump my stomach to force me to come clean? If I had to. But I knew it wouldn’t get that far. You are sick. Look who’s talking. So you didn’t take all of those pills? I took one. Threw the rest away. Thank god. Wait, you actually took a prenatal vitamin? You said it was good for the development or whatever. Oh, don’t look now, but nikolas might not be the only one who cares about this baby. I appreciate all the help you’ve given me. But you were out of line suggesting that my uncle victor tried to kill my grandmother. That’s just — no. You would be wise not to put your faith in your great uncle. So I should put my faith in you instead? I was referring to a higher power. “And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” It’s doing my time in here that will set me free. Oh. Not the truth. And, by the way, for a guy who quotes scripture, you sure are quick to sit in judgment of my uncle. I didn’t accuse victor of anything new. Believe me. That doesn’t make him guilty. Nor does it make him innocent, either. That is for a jury to decide, just like they did with you. And, by the way, there’s a glaring difference between you and my uncle victor. He is on the outside while you are stuck in here.

[ Sighs ] Okay. My dear spencer… the difference is I am a sinner seeking redemption while your uncle wouldn’t know the meaning of the word. Not exactly brimming with holiday cheer, are you? The necklace may be a dead end, but my plans are still very much alive. So you have another angle? Always. Care to fill me in? In due time. Your job is to help me keep laura distracted and my family intact. You’ve pulled the necessary strings? I’m working on it. Work harder. Why — why don’t I leave you two to catch up, huh? Oh, you don’t have to go. I saw an ornament earlier that caught my eye. I want to snap it up before somebody else does. It’s nice to see you, officer cabrera. You, too. Hi. Hi. Are you free tonight? For? Dinner. Cops know the best places to eat. It’s a, uh, documented fact.

[ Chuckles ] I’m so holding back a doughnut joke right now.

[ Laughs ] For real. I want to take you someplace special for our anniversary. Anniversary? Three months ago today, we became official. It’s true what they say. Love is wasted on the young. Don’t you agree?


That’s what redemption’s my family’s history isn’t exactly spotless. No one’s is. But people can change, right? That’s what redemption’s about. Before redemption comes repentance. Is victor prone to asking for forgiveness?

[ Both chuckle ] I didn’t think so. And then there’s us. Putting in the work, trying to make amends for our mistakes. That’s a bond even stronger than blood. But we have both. And I truly hope that bond continues when you’re released, spencer. And when that day comes, uh, there’s something I want you to take with you. Consider it an early christmas present. As a matter of fact, I disagree. True love is a gift no matter when you find it, and no matter how hard certain people try to take it from you. You, you’ve never experienced love like that. Have you, victor? Hm. Well, hope springs eternal, ava. And when you’re free from that dysfunctional marriage to my nephew, who knows? Maybe there’ll be hope for us. Each of these claims to be written by the killer. So now I’m wasting valuable time and manpower tracing every one, even though we basically know they’re all bogus. I get the frustration.

[ Sighs ] Although, I do believe that when alexis printed that letter, she only had good intentions. She interfered with a confidential investigation. Yes, we have a theory that points towards esme prince. But if alexis takes it upon herself to decide what to leak and when, well [Scoffs] That just makes it harder for us. A theory. Legitimate one with actual evidence? Jordan. My soon-to-be stepdaughter’s life may be at risk here. If you have a way to end this nightmare… I need to know. Why are you avoiding my question? Avoiding? Who’s avoiding? We already discussed this. I want to discuss it again. So let’s rehash. Because you were very upset the last time we talked about your late wife cheating on you. And that’s pretty much the end of the story. Is it? Hm. Hey, look around. This is not really the — the time or place for this. What are you afraid of? Afraid? Who’s afraid? So, is there another reason you’re not talking to elizabeth? Off the record? Everything we say to each other is off the record. Mnh-mnh. The man that, um… reiko slept with… was elizabeth’s father. Did you fly all this way just to see me?

[ Exhales deeply ] I won’t lie to you, heather. Really? Why turn over a new leaf at this late date? And I am definitely not interested in dredging up the past. A past that includes our son — stephen lars. Or are you still more invested in saving the world than you are in your own family? If I wasn’t invested in my family, I wouldn’t be here. Aww. You think of me as family? Never. I came to tell you to stay the hell away from mine. Of course I care about the baby. It’s the only thing stopping this maniac from killing me. Do not listen to her. Remember what I told you when you first found me here? That nikolas tried to kill you? I didn’t believe it then, and I still don’T. Why would I have made that up? Uh, ’cause you are a desperate criminal willing to say or do anything to continue your reign of terror. For the last time, I am not the hook. Yeah, okay. But you’re starting to wonder. Why wouldn’t you? You’re curious to see what your, uh, friend is capable of. Go on, nurse baldwin. Ask him. Ask nikolas what happened on the parapet that night. I, for one, cannot wait to hear the answer.


R lies, esme.Mm! Except they’re not lies. Think about it. How did I manage to disappear the way I did, just vanished into thin air? Well, it wasn’t exactly my choice, was it, nikolas? Thanks to you and ava, I was — leave ava out of this. Oh. So protective. What does ava have to do with anything? She doesn’T. Mm. Who’s the liar now? It was a lifetime ago. We were in doctors without borders, and we were assigned to different islands in the south pacific. I guess reiko got lonely and… jeff webber was there. Got it. And I’m sure that was very disappointing, and I’m not trying to minimize this in any way at all. But? But, like you said, that was a lifetime ago. So don’t you think you should have gotten past that by now? There’s more to it than just the affair. Mm. But that’s not my story to tell. Oh. So it’s elizabeth’s story? And it’s new to her. And she’s understandably having trouble processing her feelings. Probably has lots of feelings about that. Yeah. Confusion, pain, anger. But not at you. Mostly at the situation. But we haven’t connected in weeks, and at some point… I guess I just stopped trying. Well [Scoffs] Why would you do that? What if there’s no point? Do you love her? Okay. That’s the point. So you stay in your corner, she stays in her corner. It’s just gonna drive you further apart. And here I thought you missed me. Knock it off, heather. And don’t pretend you didn’t try to contact my family. Making a beeline for my grandson when you had your big chance to escape?

[ Chuckles ] He works at kelly’s, jeff. Home of the famous blt. They don’t write that on the menu, but they should. It’s to die for. Stay. Away. From cameron. And where is this newfound concern coming from, anyway? Last I checked, you didn’t give a damn about your grandsons. Or their mother, for that matter. You don’t know what you’re talking about. Oh, don’t I? Were you there when elizabeth married my franco? Were you there for her when he died? No. You love the idea of being a family man, but when it actually comes to stepping up, doing the right thing, you cut and run. Is that… the one and only. Curtis, you know I can’t share privileged information. Even if it could bring a murderous criminal to justice? Jordan, trina is exhausted. She’s constantly looking over her shoulder. It’s just too much for her, and I’m not even gonna touch on what it’s been like for portia. And you? Well, it’s true, trina is not mine, biologically, but… to me, it feels like she is. Does that make any sense? It does. Then help me. Help me protect my family. I can’T. So much has changed since marshall was first diagnosed with schizophrenia. I just don’t see the harm in getting some current genetic testing done. Well, are you implying that marshall’s diagnosis was wrong? Well, I-I’m sure the doctors drew from the best knowledge they had at the time. But there could be other factors that are involved here. What kind of factors? Well… I’m standing right here, you know? And not saying a damn thing. As if I could get a word in edgewise? By all means. Portia. I don’t need any re-evaluation. I know what’s wrong with me. And I’ve spent my life ensuring that it wouldn’t harm my family. I understand what you’re saying. But from my — no, no. No buts. I’m at peace with my condition. Now, can you please drop this? My marriage to nikolas, as complicated as it may be, hasn’t ended yet, despite your best efforts. We know that esme is alive and the prime suspect in the hook attacks, which makes nikolas’ bogus confession completely useless. So, then, what will you holdover your nephew’s head now? Perhaps we should put our heads together and come up with a plan. I’ll pass. Besides, something tells me I won’t need to coerce nikolas into a divorce. Is that so? I get the distinct impression that he’s more than ready to move on. Don’t be shy. Tell elizabeth how you and ava thought you were rid of me forever until you discovered I was carrying the heir to the throne. What is she talking about? Mm.

[ Chuckles ] I’ll explain everything. Okay? But right now, esme needs some more of those vitamins. Can you go back to G.H. And get some? You’re trying to get rid of me. No, no, no. I’m just — I’m thinking about what’s best for the baby, okay? And right now, I’m seeing an opening of her actually showing some maternal instinct. I want to jump on it before it closes. Please? This conversation is not finished. I am well aware. That was a mistake.


Excellent attempt at poisoning the well. But I don’t do jealous. No, I’d imagine a woman like you wouldn’t have to. But don’t forget that nikolas is a human being with needs and desires of his own. Till next time. Bated breath. The favor I called in has been handled. Oh, my god. I totally forgot all about that. It has been three months. It’s wild, right? You came into my life at the craziest time. I can’t believe you haven’t run for the hills. Well, I might have been a rookie, but I knew you were being framed. Thanks for always believing in me. Always. Ooh, um, I got to get back to the station. I’ll see you tonight? Tonight. Cool. I’ll text you with details. Okay. About that young man of yours. Look, I know rory isn’t an art lover, and he hasn’t seen the world or studied abroad. Who cares about any of that? No, I-I was just gonna tell you… I envy you. I don’t feel comfortable accepting gifts from you. Oh. You misunderstand. It’s not for you. I-it’s for your friend trina. Look.

[ Inhales deeply ] I thought 12 drummers drumming might be overkill. This seems more appropriate. You keep one for yourself, and trina takes one as a token of your affection. Trina would love these. Yeah. But I can’t give them to her. Oh, of course you can. No, you don’t get it. Trina finally has her life back — the life she deserves. A life without you? Yes. All I’ve brought trina is pain and heartache. So the best gift that I can give her is to stay as far away from her as possible. Here we go again. What? This is the exact damn reason why we got a divorce in the first place. Because you insist on keeping secrets from me.

[ Scoffs ] That’s not fair. We’re talking about a police investigation. You were a cop. You know how this works. And I also know how willing you are to bend the rules and cross the lines. But clearly, only when it suits you. Curtis, listen to me. I am as anxious to protect trina and everyone else in her world as you are. If that were true, then throw me a bone here. I’m sorry. So am I. It’s not just the past that’s an issue. What else?

[ Chuckles ] What else? I, uh… read the invader’s account of esme attacking elizabeth on the pier. Okay. It didn’t mention what she was doing there. Well, I don’t know what she was doing there. We weren’t given that information. Off the record again, she was going to see nikolas cassadine. This is not a jealousy thing. I just don’t trust that guy after what he did to hayden. I wanted to kill him, but if elizabeth wants to be friends with him, that’s — that’s her choice. But after all that, I just — I have to admit it bothers me that instead of coming to me, she went to him. What? Well, now we know why elizabeth was out on the pier. But why was esme on the pier? I mean, was she targeting elizabeth, or was elizabeth just in the wrong place at the wrong time? Any more questions? Yeah. Where’s esme now? You don’t scare me, you know? You can’T. Not with this little, uh, bundle of joy as my insurance policy. For now. But once that baby is born…

[ Sighs ] Spare me the threats, okay? I’ve already planted the seed with elizabeth. Elizabeth is loyal to me. We’ll see. My bet is that, um, elizabeth is too dedicated of a nurse to let you get away with attempted murder. And when things start to unravel and the police get involved, you are going down and taking ava right along with you. And maybe even, uh, nurse nightingale, too. What do you want, esme? Mm. I thought you’d never ask.


Us it’ll be christmas soon. So? So I am missing out on all of it. The music, the decorations. Magic. I can’t even see out of the window. And in case you hadn’t noticed, it’s, um, not very festive in here. I’ll bring you some candy canes. How’s that? No. I want a tree. With lights and ornaments — the whole deal. Well, that shouldn’t be too hard to arrange. I’ll have demetrius bring you a fake one pre-decorated. No. I want a live tree, and i want to pick it out myself. Not a chance. Why not? Is that an actual question? Come on, it’s not like I can make a run for it anymore. Please? No! Nikolas, this is really important to me. I almost believe that you meant that.

[ Sighs ] My childhood was… lonely. I was adopted, not parented. My nanny was basically paid to raise me. Christmas was a nonevent in my house. But I did have this one friend whose family had this tradition of chopping down their own tree and bringing it home to decorate. It sounded like… heaven. So I begged my nanny to do the same thing. Let me guess, she said no. No. She said yes. But then she slipped and fell and wasn’t able to take me. So she asked the super’s son if he would do it. We picked out the tree. He even let me use the saw. We decorated it together. It was the best afternoon of my life, and I can’t tell you how much it meant to me. Those few hours actually changed me. All I’m asking is for a chance to feel that way again. Please? Nikolas, is that a yes?

[ Lock clicks ] Jeff: Steer clear of my family. No christmas cards. No fruitcakes. No surprise visits like the one you gave cameron. Are we clear? I’ll take that as a yes. Enjoy your time here. I know it’s difficult being married to a shrink. They can just turn it off, can’t they? So if you’re ever in need of some holiday cheer, you know where to find me. You haven’t changed a bit. We even have eggnog! You envy me? Is that so hard to believe?

[ Laughs ]

[ Chuckles ] You’re ava jerome. Mm. Beautiful, powerful, successful. You have everything. Trust me, “everything” is highly overrated. I’d settle for a guy like you have. Somebody…trustworthy. Dependable. A guy who tells you how he feels. Rory’s the greatest. Uh-oh. What is this? No, no, he really — he really is. He is. So why can’t i forget about spencer? You’ve heard the parable of the prodigal son, yeah? Refresh my memory. Well, he runs away from home. He squanders both his fortune and his good name. Then comes crawling back, expecting to be rejected. He wasn’t? He was embraced. Celebrated. “He was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.” Just… take the gift. Follow your heart. Thank you. I wish I could help you. No, you don’T. Because you can, you just won’T.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Sighs ] Come in. Sorry to interrupt. You wanted a report on security at rice plaza? Yeah. Go ahead. I was just leaving. Good to see, mr. Ashford. Good to see you, rory. Don’t forget to rsvp. This is really like a jigsaw puzzle without all the pieces. So if esme’s the killer, why didn’t she just finish elizabeth off? I don’t know. You know, if — elizabeth said that she called the cops right before the fall, so maybe if esme thought the cops were on the way, it makes sense she would run. But to where? I mean, it’s not like she’s running around hooking people in broad daylight. Wherever she — she is, she’s staying low to the ground.

[ Cellphone chimes ] What’s that?

Invader business? Yep. Okay. Uh… why don’t you go deal with that? I — actually, you just gave me an idea. Oh, I love it when I can do that. Oh, I love it when I can do that. Yeah, I mean, there’s — there’s another piece of the puzzle we’ve overlooked. Thanks for talking to me. Mm-hmm.


I just want what’s be for you, marshall. Well, maybe you should abide by marshall’s wishes and just forget genetic counseling. Instead, in this season of miracles, let’s focus on a few of our own. And what miracles would those be? Your return, for starters. My continued good health. Amen. And portia and curtis’ upcoming wedding. Yes! Oh, and the blessing that trina is safe. Yeah, we do have a lot to be thankful for, don’t we? Yes. Let’s put our energy into that.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Okay? Thank you. Uncle victor, I didn’t expect to see you today. A pleasant surprise, I hope? I’ll leave you to your visit. No, please, do stay. I have some news about my great nephew’s future. Spencer’s release date is weeks away. A lot could change before then. You wanna know what I think? Please. It’s something that I wish that I had learned long ago. Long before I ever met nikolas cassadine. Complicated men create chaos. And maybe it’s best if we avoid them altogether. So all that’s left is for you to sign off on the plans for christmas eve. Commissioner? Sorry. Yes, of course. Leave the report. I’ll look it over.

[ Door opens, closes ] Hi. Alexis, thanks for meeting me. Thank you. Can I get you something? Uh, a club soda, but there’s no hurry. Why did you want to meet me? I’m trying to catch a killer. That makes two of us. Yeah, I just left jordan at the pcpd, and, uh, it’s clear to me that they know more about those attacks than they’re admitting. Right. Maybe much more. So how do we find out what that is? Did you enjoy the show? If you could speak, I imagine we’d have quite a lot to discuss.

[ Sighs ] A winter stroll to pick out a christmas tree? What are you planning? Don’t worry, daddy. I know exactly what I’m doing.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Kyle: Oh, hey. Have you talked to phyllis yet? Told her she and the others have to back off?

Summer: Can we please not do this right now?

Kyle: No, no, phyllis, ashley, and nikki didn’t give us a choice. They are going to put our entire family in danger.

Summer: I’m not exactly pleased with my mother, either, but I’m also really fed up with all of the chaos and hysterics that seem to always surround diane. Look, all I am asking for is before you point the finger at my mom, that we hear both sides out first.

Kyle: Yeah, I suppose. But I don’t know if I can listen to phyllis objectively right now.

Summer: Okay, then can we please just table this and let things simmer down for a moment?

Sharon: You want some more coffee?

Chance: Uh, no. No, I’m all right right now. Thank you.

Sharon: All right. Sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you.

Chance: No, I appreciate you checking on me. Yeah. Been sitting here for a minute now, huh?

Sharon: Mm-hmm. Um, look, uh, I don’t mean to intrude. Uh, I know that you tend to hold things close to the vest. And I know that when rey passed away, we both lost someone who we could trust and confide in. I know I’m no rey rosales, but maybe some of my husband’s listening skills rubbed off on me.

Chance: I-I’m sorry, sharon. I, um… I just don’t think I can talk about it yet.

Sharon: I understand. Didn’t mean to butt in.

Chance: It’s over with abby. We’re getting a divorce.

Diane: Jeremy.

Jeremy: Hello, diane. Long time no see.

Diane: What are you doing here?

Jeremy: I was released from prison a few days ago. I have missed you.

Diane: Uh —

Jeremy: Would have been nice if you would have come to see me while I was inside.

Diane: Oh, I’m — I’m sorry. I just didn’t think that you’d want to see me —

Jeremy: No, you’re right. I can’t blame you. Nobody wants to see someone at their lowest point. But, uh, look at me now. Good as new. You look great, as well. You know, you’ve been on my mind lately. I have so much unfinished business to discuss.

Diane: Oh, I — it’s been so long. I-I can’t imagine that’s true.

Jeremy: Oh, sure, you can.

Jack: Hello. Who’s this? I tried everything to remove fabric odors,

Diane: Jack, this is jeremy stark. He’s an old friend of mine.

Jack: Well, welcome to genoa city.

Jeremy: Uh, thank you. It’s, uh — it’s a pleasure to be here.

Diane: You know, I-I’m sorry. You’ve, um — you’ve caught me at a bad time. We have someplace to be —

Jeremy: No, I know. This must come as such a surprise.

Jack: But we certainly have a minute or two to spare. Any friend of diane’s is always welcome here. So, how do you two know each other?

Jeremy: Well, I hope I’m not speaking out of turn here, but, uh, I was quite fond of diane when she lived in los angeles. She went by taylor back then. I’m still getting to know diane. I was in genoa city on business and, uh, thought I would, uh, catch up.

Jack: What line of business brings you to town?

Jeremy: Oh, you know, little of this, little of that. Anyway, I’ll let you get on with your day. But, uh, I hope that I can buy you a cup of coffee or a nice meal before I leave.

Diane: We’ll see.

Jack: Can I ask, how did you know to find diane here?

Jeremy: Oh, lucky guess. When I heard the fantastic news that she was a grandmother, I felt that this was as good a place to start as any. We all know how much diane loves her family. Good day.

Diane: [ Breathing heavily ] I-I can’t believe he just came here. I mean, he — he just — he just showed up.

Jack: Okay.

Phyllis: Hey, guys.

Summer: Hey, mom.

Phyllis: Oh, my goodness. So, it’s time to clock out, isn’t it? How about we go out to dinner?

Kyle: Yeah, we were just going to grab some quick on the way home.

Phyllis: Oh, all right. Well, why don’t we grab something quick together? We don’t spend a lot of time together. Want to spend some quality time with your mother-in-law? I mean, nothing is more important than family, right?

Sharon: Wow. I am so sorry. I mean, I know that you had mentioned that you and abby were having difficulties, but I had no idea that things had gotten this bad this fast.

Chance: It actually wasn’t that fast. Everything just came to a head quickly.

Sharon: Well, have you tried everything before going down this route? Maybe have a getaway together, some time to yourselves, reset?

Chance: Yeah, no, I wouldn’t even know where to start to try to fix all this. Think things are just too far gone.

Sharon: I’m really sorry.

Chance: You know what the funny thing is? When all this initially blew up, I would have done absolutely anything just to go back a few days and prevent the missteps that led to this whole collapse. But the more I think about it, the farther back I think I’d have to go to really try to fix things. It makes me wonder if it would have been better if we just never started a relationship in the first place.

Tucker: A, b, c, d, e, f, G. It’s the a-minor scale.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Tucker: He’s got it. He’s got it.

Devon: Right.

Tucker: He’s going to take to it like water, given his bloodline.

Devon: Right. Makes me really happy to see you get to spend time with your grandson. It’s nice. I know even a few minutes with him makes you forget all the worries in the world.

Tucker: Yeah. Well, how’s work, by the way? The loss of billy and nate. You find their replacements?

Devon: I thought that you and I discussed, uh, not talking about chancellor-winters business. Suffering from sinus congestion, especially at night?

Devon: You know, I would hate to think that you’re only spending time with us just so you can get information about my company.

Tucker: Oh, c– absolutely not. No, that was just an innocent question. There’s only a few topics that we can really connect on, and business is one of them. I’m not — I would never use my grandson as a pawn.

Devon: Well, I appreciate you saying that. We’re actually, uh — we’re looking at candidates right now to fill both coo positions.

Tucker: Yeah, I’m sure it’s difficult to find the right person, huh? The nate situation was really rough, but, you know, I believe it was an anomaly. Having a family company’s still the dream, right?

Devon: Yeah.

Tucker: It’s a lot more challenging in a lot of ways, but it also means more. And I wanted to tell you, I really admire the way you and lily work together. It’s impressive. The same way I admired the way you and neil worked together. You guys really created some strong and wonderful.

Devon: Thanks.

Tucker: [ Chuckles ] I’m not gonna lie to you. I have entertained fantasies that maybe you and I could create something like that one day.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Devon: Oh. All right, hey. I’m gonna go get the door. Do you mind?

Tucker: Yeah, are you kidding? Do I mind? Hey. Oh, yeah.

Devon: Thank you.

Tucker: Yeah. Aww.

Devon: Be right back.

Tucker: Right on the shoulder. Yeah.

Devon: Hey.

Abby: Hey. I’m here to get dominic. I know I’m early, but, um —

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: What is he doing here?

Diane: Thank you.

Jack: How are you feeling?

Diane: I’m not sure. I mean, how dare jeremy come here and have the nerve to mention family and — and to talk about my grandson.

Jack: Yes, that was unsettling, to be sure.

Diane: He’s trying to send a message.

Jack: Yes, but, look, this house is not hard to find. And so what if he found it? He can know where we are. No harm is going to come to any member of this family. Not as long as I’m around.

Diane: You know, I-I am enraged at more than just jeremy. I mean, he — he might have found me eventually, but obviously, he had some help. Someone led him here. He never would have come to your house looking for me unless someone would have tipped him off. And — and that someone even mentioned harrison! And we both know who that is.

Jack: Okay, you can’t be certain.

Diane: Oh, come on, jack. There is no doubt in my mind. Ashley, phyllis, and nikki have made good on their threat, and they can’t be allowed to get away with it. And ashley? The fact that she would bring that man to her family’s door? I mean, I-I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I know she’s your sister. But, god! Those bitches have gone too far.

Summer: Uh, you guys grab a table. I will be right there. Drinking alone?

Nick: Uh, technically, yes.

Summer: Are you okay?

Nick: Ah, just got into it with dad over something earlier that is none of his business.

Summer: Oh, grandpa sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong and offering opinions you didn’t ask for?

Nick: Yeah, well, he is who he is, right? How about you? Are you, uh, having a nice, quiet dinner over there tonight?

Summer: Uh, yeah. Sure, let’s — let’s go with that. Do you want to join me?

Nick: Ooh, I really don’T. No.

Summer: Come on.

Nick: Summer, I love you more than anything in this world. But honestly, that looks like it’s going to be filled with more family drama, and I’ve had my fill for today.

Summer: I could really use a buffer, and I’m pretty sure that falls under the list of fatherly duties.

Nick: Oh, come on. Are you pulling the dad card?

Summer: It’s what daughters do.

Nick: I’m such a sucker when it comes to you. Okay, fine, let’s go.

Summer: Come on.

Nick: All right, the party is here.

Phyllis: Yes, it is.

Nick: What are we talking about?

Phyllis: Um, marchetti.

Nick: Yeah. How is marchetti? Are mother and daughter at each other’s throats yet?

Kyle: Quite the opposite.

Nick: Don’t know if I believe that. You two tend to have creative differences.

Phyllis: Well, look at you coming in hot. Okay, that’s a really unfair characterization of me and my daughter.

Nick: I’m not saying it’s your whole relationship. Just when you’re working together, because you’re both very strong-willed, fiery women.

Phyllis: Yes, we are both strong women who get things done.

Summer: That’s right.

Phyllis: Right?

Summer: Mm-hmm.

Phyllis: Yes. And, um, thanks for asking. Things are going great there. Uh, we hardly see each other ’cause we’re at opposite ends of the building. So it’s pretty much sunshine and roses.

Nick: Hmm. Is that the mood for everyone? Including diane?

Adam: You know, this, um — this doesn’t have to be the end.

Sally: It doesn’t have to be. But it is.

Adam: We came here today for a reason. Because we both still feel something powerful and — and meaningful for one another.

Sally: I agree. That’s why it happened. But it’s also why it — …it won’t happen again.

Sally: [ Sniffles ] You can’t deny today was different. The connection. The emotion.

[ Sniffles ] We lost something that we can’t get back. But that’s okay. Look, I — I will always be thankful for you having faith in me when no one else did. And for showing me kindness when everyone else was throwing daggers my way.

Adam: Well, that was their loss. It was my gain.

Sally: I mean, you saw me in a way that no one else could. You helped me see myself in a whole new way. I mean, you brought things out of me I didn’t even know I had.

Adam: I, um — I don’t regret a moment we were together.

Sally: I don’t, either. Not anymore. You can be a wonderful, supportive, and loving man. And you are a spectacular father and a dedicated son and brother, even when that dedication is not returned. And — and even though your instincts to protect me were…

[ Sighs ] …Misguided… it was just a sign of how amazing a partner you can be.

Adam: Just — it’s too bad I can’t be your partner.

Sally: We almost made it.

[ Sniffles ] We loved each other with all we had and all we knew. And nobody can question or deny that. But… it’s time for us to move on. You know, hopefully, we can walk away having learned something so that next time we don’t make the same mistakes. Next time… …you and some very lucky woman will make it. We have to let each other go so we can find our true happiness.

Sharon: You know, I try not to regret a relationship, the good, the bad, and the ugly, because at least they teach us something, right?

Chance: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you’re right. I, um — I don’t regret our marriage. I think I’m just trying to cope with the failure of it. You gonna tell me not to look at it as a failure?

Sharon: It is. But I wouldn’t phrase it that way. It’s — you know what? It’s the end of a chapter.

Chance: Huh. Yeah. I don’t know. I guess I thought the rest of my story had already been written. What am I supposed to do now?

Sharon: You keep going, step by step, day by day, leaning into the things that make you happy and give you purpose in life.

Chance: Yeah, well, that’s work for me. I mean, that’s the only thing that’s never let me down.

Sharon: Can I ask you something? Are you still planning on being involved in dom’s life?

Chance: Yeah, what kind of question is that? Absolutely. I love that kid, sharon. That’s never gonna change.

Abby: Well, devon, I wish you had told me about this.

[ Dom fussing ]

Devon: I thought we talked about it, though.

Abby: I know, I know. Shh.

[ Dom crying ]

Abby: Well, I didn’t know that this was happening today.

Tucker: I can understand why you’re upset, abby. I’m sorry. I should have contacted you myself to let you know I was coming. He is my grandson. Either way, since I’m planning to settle down here in genoa city, I hope that you and I can find a way to make peace.

[ Dom crying ]

Abby: Shh.

Tucker: But, uh, well, is there any way that I can prove to you that I’m no threat to you or your family?

Abby: You know what? I don’t know. I just know that it hasn’t happened yet.

Tucker: Oh. Well, I don’t know if this will make a difference, but I’m just in love with that little guy. Because of my failure to find devon, I missed out on all that with him. And fortunately, he’s grown into an amazing man and father, despite my absence. Or maybe because of it. I don’t know. But I feel very fortunate to have him back in my life and now to be in dom’S. And, uh… it feels like a blessing. It feels like a blessing that I don’t want to squander this time. I don’t want to miss out on any more than I already have. I hope you can understand that.

Phyllis: Uh, diane has been great, actually. Yeah. We’ve been great. Everything’s great at marchetti.

Nick: Great. Uh, listen, I actually did not come over here to cause problems. Usually, you have that covered yourself.

Phyllis: Um, thank you. So, uh, can I ask you how you’re getting along with everyone at newman?

Nick: Sounds like my cue to leave. Uh, summer? I’m so glad you and kyle are home. It’s been a less than awesome day for me, and this has been a good way to end it. So good night.

Phyllis: [ Laughs ]

Summer: Okay. Um… does dad seem a little off to you?

Phyllis: Yeah, he does.

Summer: Do you think he’s all right?

Phyllis: Sure, he’s fine.

Nick: Hey, jack.

Jack: How are you, nick?

Nick: Good.

Jack: Uh, I’ll see you later. Hey.

Diane: I know what you’re trying to do, and it still won’t work.

Kyle: Hey, what’s wrong?

Diane: You will never, ever drive me away from my family. Do you understand?

Jack: Why don’t we get our own table? Here. Come on. Come on.

Summer: What the hell was that all about? ()

“The young and the restless”

will continue. Theo’s nose was cause for alarm, so dad brought

Kyle: Hey. What’s going on?

Diane: [ Sighs ] Jeremy stark is in genoa city. And the only reason he knew to find me here is because phyllis told him where I was.

Kyle: Hold — hold — hold on. Are you sure it was her?

Diane: Yes! Who else would send him after me? Kyle, he came to the abbott house. Where harrison lives. God only knows what he’s thinking or planning.

Kyle: Okay, where is stark now?

Diane: I don’t know. But I don’t want you anywhere near him. I’m serious. You have no idea what he’s capable of.

Kyle: I promised you I would have your back. And I do.

Jack: Kyle, diane’s right. We don’t know what we’re dealing with yet. Let’s not do anything until we discuss how we’re going to respond to this man. Okay?

Kyle: Okay.

Jack: Now, I’m going to get diane out of here before she and phyllis have an even bigger confrontation. With everything that went on today, we should never have come out. Come on.

Tucker: I’m not asking for your immediate acceptance. I just hope that you’ll keep in mind what I said. Either way, I assume he’s on a schedule, so I’ll take my leave. Uh, thank you for setting this up.

Devon: Yeah.

Tucker: I hope we can do it again. With your blessing, of course. Bye, dom.

Devon: Thanks for coming. Hey. I’m sorry. I thought you were fine with the idea of him spending time with dominic.

Abby: I had started to come around to the idea, but actually seeing them together… there’s just a lot of messy history there. It brings me back to a time in my life that I’d rather forget.

Devon: Well, um, do you — you thinking that you don’t want him to have any contact at all?

Abby: No, no. He is your father, and he has a right to have a relationship with dominic. I mean, I don’t want you to keep your son away from him. And as much as tucker makes my skin crawl, he seems to adore dominic. So who am I to keep them apart?

Devon: I promise I’ll monitor all their interactions.

Abby: Thank you.

Devon: Of course. I’m glad you’re here.

Abby: Me, too.

Devon: How you doing?

Adam: I don’t know what else there is to say other than, uh…

[ Sighs ] …I really thought we could work.

Sally: I did, too. But maybe this is all we were meant to have. Or all we were ready for.

Adam: You — you said what we had was real. My feelings, they’re still real.

Sally: So are mine. But love changes. And that’s all right.

[ Sniffles ] We’re gonna be okay.

Sharon: I didn’t mean to offend you. Look, I’m glad that you’re still planning on being a part of dom’s life.

Chance: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to jump down your throat. Just — just caught me off-guard.

Sharon: No, I get it. Getting a divorce is one thing, but divorcing when you share a child is a whole other level of complicated. Have you and abby discussed co-parenting?

Chance: No. No, not yet. I know we probably shouldn’t put that off, but everything just feels a little too raw right now. I-I still love her, sharon. It’s just our relationship wasn’t a good fit. And I can’t imagine how that affected our parenting and how this is going to affect it now. Look, I know it’s not dom’s fault. I just — I have to have that conversation with her.

Sharon: Well, you and abby do have one advantage. A third co-parent — devon. That could be a great buffer. In fact, it might be easier and even more effective to go through him until you both feel more comfortable communicating directly.

Chance: Yeah. It’s an idea. Maybe. As someone living with type 2 diabetes, hi, my name is tony cooper.

A more human way to healthcare. Vicks vapostick.

Abby: Well, I, um — I talked to chance. And talking did not help things at all.

Devon: Why? What’d he say to you?

Abby: He said he doesn’t see why we should prolong the inevitable. And he wants to move forward with a divorce.

Devon: He doesn’t want to try counseling or anything? A trial separation? Something?

Abby: No. And I am trying to be brave and pragmatic, because, I mean, I can understand why chance feels that way. Why should I expect him to stay when I am the one who broke our vows?

Kyle: For summer’s sake, I have tried to give you the benefit of the doubt. I have tried to restrain myself from making judgments, to not take sides. But your childish and reckless behavior has gone too far. There is more at stake here than your delicate ego. You have put my family in legitimate danger, and now I have to go fix it.

Summer: Kyle, wait. What are you talking about? What needs to be fixed?

Kyle: Jeremy stark, the man my mom worked for in L.A., The convicted felon, flew to genuine city and went straight to our home looking for her. Where our little boy sleeps.

Summer: Oh, my god.

Kyle: And according to my mom, it was your mom who sent him there.

Chance: Victor.

Victor: Chance. Have you had occasion to talk to my daughter yet?

Chance: I have. Sorry to say, you won’t be pleased with the outcome. Goodbye.

Victor: Hi. Good afternoon.

Sharon: Hi. I couldn’t help but notice you were a little dismissive of chance.

Victor: That’s putting it mildly. When have you seen abby last?

Sharon: I couldn’t really say.

Victor: Mm. You would have known, then, that she’s heartbroken, okay? Chance did a lot of damage to her. I hardly see any reason to be cordial to someone who causes pain for my daughter.

Sharon: Well, there might be more to the story than you realize, and you might be being a little bit too hard on chance.

Victor: What do you know? If you still have symptoms of moderate

Phyllis: Hey, I thought you left, so I canceled your order. I’ll get it to go, okay?

Summer: Diane wasn’t freaking out over nothing.

Phyllis: What? I-I don’t know what diane was doing. She’s crazy. I keep on telling everybody this. Everybody.

Summer: You’re not getting out of it that easily this time, mom. Just be honest with me. I’m literally begging you to tell me the truth, because i have been going to bat for you, and I’m starting to realize that you’re making a fool out of me! If what kyle just told me is true, then I don’t even know what to say to you. How could you do this to our family? How could you put our family in danger? How could you put harrison in the line of fire?

Phyllis: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Summer: Oh, I am so sick of you feigning ignorance. Don’t lie to me. You told jeremy stark that he could find diane at the abbott house.

Diane: I am — I am so sorry I lost it earlier. I mean, the whole idea of — of going out was to thank you for how wonderful you’ve been throughout all of this. And instead, I forced you to double down on your support of me. And that is not — that is not what I had in mind when I suggested that we have a meal together.

Jack: Hey, hey, hey, I know that.

Diane: I mean, look at me. I’m just, like, a basket of nerves.

Jack: I am looking at you, and I see nary a nerve.

Diane: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: There, you’re already bouncing back, just like you always do.

Diane: Thank you.

Adam: You deserve the world, sally. I’m sorry… that I couldn’t give it to you. But I-I don’t ever want you to settle for anything less. I hope you never forget that.

Sally: [ Sniffles ]

Adam: Nick.

Nick: I guess this is a bad time.

Tucker: Hi. Uh, scotch, neat, please.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Jeremy: “Jeremy stark is in genoa city.” You have done your research, talia.

[ Knock on door ]

Kyle: I’m only going to say this once. Leave diane jenkins alone.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Brooke: Must have been really hard for steffy.

Hope: I mean, can you imagine? How long has she been hoping for her parents to get back together? And then they’re finally standing up there at the altar and she has to make the difficult decision to speak up. I mean, honestly, I’m– I’m proud of her.

Brooke: I am too. It took guts for her to tell the truth, even though taylor wasn’t able to.

Steffy: Oh. Hello. Um… hey, so before you start in on me, I just wanna say–

Brooke: Thank you. I wanna thank you for what you did.

Sheila: Oh! Can I do it again?

Deacon: Hm?

Sheila: Come on. Let’s play a game of rummy.

Deacon: No.

Sheila: All right. Then, how about strip poker?

Deacon: No, thanks.

Sheila: Come on. What’s your problem? I’m– I’m just trying to have a little fun.

Deacon: Yeah. Well, the fun can’t continue.

Sheila: What do you mean?

Deacon: We can’t bury our heads in the sand. Your time’s running out, sheila.

Sheila: Time’s running out?

Deacon: Yeah.

Sheila: I’ve got news for you, buddy. Time’s running out for all of us. That’s why we have to make the most of it and have as much fun as we can.

Deacon: Yeah. Shacking up with an escaped convict, that’s– that’s fun? That’s making the most of my life?

Sheila: Well, no, it’s not if you keep turning me down.

Deacon: Sheila, listen to me. We cannot keep pretending that this can continue. It can’T. You’re gonna get busted, especially if you keep going out of here in that disguise. This only ends one way. That’s with you in a prison cell.

Finn: Woman wanted for attempted murder, mauled to death.

[ Knock on the door ]

Sanchez: Dr. Finnegan, it’s detective sanchez.

Finn: Come on in, please. Hey, thank you so much for meeting me.

Sanchez: I gotta admit, I was a bit confused by your message. What is this all about?

Brooke: I realize you were in a tough spot finding out what thomas did.

Hope: It was still so hard to believe after all the hard work he put into bettering himself to gain our trust, and then to fake that phone call to cps to make everyone believe that it was my mother.

Steffy: Yeah. And to drag douglas into it and ask him to lie. I really don’t know what to say. I’m– I’m angry. And I’m– I’m embarrassed. I’m horrified. I mean, my parents should be celebrating their honeymoon right now.

Brooke: I know that’s what you wanted, steffy. But it shows a lot about your character, that you’re willing to tell your father the truth. I don’t know what’s gonna happen between ridge and taylor and me, but it doesn’t matter. I didn’t want him to make a decision based on a lie. And that’s thanks to you. So whatever happens, just know that I’m grateful for that. I’m grateful to you.

Steffy: You don’t need to thank me. Telling the truth, exposing my brother, I did it for my parents. So, when they do get married, there won’t be any lies between them.

Brooke: That’s important for any marriage. But I have to say, I’m not sure they’re gonna get married after this.

Steffy: Well, my father has some deep soul searching to do. That’s why he left town. To gain perspective. Same with my mom. But I will say, thomas’s lie, him framing you, it still doesn’t change how my father feels about my mom or what drove him to propose to her and want a future with her.

Brooke: Hmm. What about taylor’s actions? Or should I say lack of action?

Steffy: Okay.

Hope: I have to admit, steffy, I mean, it is surprising that taylor decided to keep quiet and– and that she thought there was still a chance for the wedding to happen.

Brooke: Ridge found out that thomas manipulated him into thinking that I lied to him, that I called cps and taylor found out about that moments before the wedding. So she had to know that that’s why ridge left me. That’s why he gave me annulment papers. She realized that the ceremony was based on a lie, but she was still willing to go through with it. I’m stunned. I’m really stunned your mother would do something like that.

Sheila: But what is it with you? Why– why is it always doom and gloom?

Deacon: It’s called facing reality. You can’t hide here forever.

Sheila: I agree. I just–

Deacon: How are you not stressed by this?

Sheila: What good would it do for me to stress? I always land on my feet.

Deacon: Maybe in the past when you had ten toes. Might not be so easy this time. Sheila, face it. You’re living on borrowed time. That prison cell is calling.

Sheila: Okay, I get it. I get it. Things they look dire. But you know what? I’ve had my back up against the wall before. They all thought my days were numbered when I was in genoa city. And– and look what happened? I relocated to los angeles. I… I married eric forrester. And when things got bad, did I– did I panic? Did I give in to the negativity? No, I didn’T. I reinvented myself because that’s what I do. And this isn’t gonna be any different, I promise you that, deacon. I am going to walk away a free woman again.

Deacon: You shot two people. You kept a guy prisoner. You drove a woman off a pier. But yeah, freedom’s right around the corner for you.

Sheila: Of course it is. Have you ever heard of a corpse going to prison before? Everyone thinks I’m dead. And if they try to lock up this ghost, I’m gonna float right through those bars again.

[ Sheila laughing ]

Finn: Something’s been bothering me. Haven’t been able to put it out of my mind.

Sanchez: Okay.

Finn: And I know I should just accept it and move on. You know, forget all about it. About her. Did you bring it?

Sanchez: Yeah, I did. And along with everything else pertaining to the case.

Finn: And it’s okay that I have it?

Sanchez: Yeah. Like I said on the phone, case is closed. I mean, they were a little delayed, but the medical examiner wanted this to go to the next of kin or be destroyed. So as sheila carter’s son, this now belongs to you. A mystery!

Steffy: Please don’t judge my mother. She wasn’t planning on keeping the secret.

Hope: Just long enough to marry ridge? I mean, I’m not trying to judge. It just, it does seem a little shady.

Steffy: My brother convinced her not to say anything. And his argument, it’s– it’s valid because he said my father was marrying my mom, not because of the cps call, not because of you, brooke, because he actually loves my mother. So why should we spoil the wedding?

Brooke: Well, thankfully you felt otherwise.

Steffy: Yeah, I do agree with thomas somewhat. I know that my father loves my mom. He assured us. And that’s why he was marrying her. But like I said, I didn’t want them to start a life based on a lie. I didn’t want there to be any secrets between them.

[Phone chimes]

Hopes: No matter what the motivation, I mean, we’re grateful to you. I mean, thank you for speaking up when you did.

Steffy: Yeah, yeah, of course. Um, hey, it looks like I’m gonna have to miss the hope for the future meeting. I– I– you can forward me all the notes if that’s all right.

Hope: Yeah, no, sure. Actually, I mean, it’s starting soon, right? So, I should probably get going.

Steffy: Huh.

Hope: Is everything okay?

Steffy: Uh, yeah. Finn just asked me to go to the hospital. I’m not sure what it’s about.

Brooke: Well, thank you again, steffy. I am very impressed with what you did.

Steffy: I don’t know if that’s a compliment or an insult, but you’re welcome.

Thomas: Brooke.

[ Thomas sighs ] What’s going on?

Sheila: Hey. Thanks to my cleverness, everyone thinks I’m dead and I am out of prison and off everyone’s radar.

Deacon: Thanks to your craziness, you mean. I feel like they should give you a discount on shoes when you have nine toes. I still cannot believe that you did that.

Sheila: You know what? Desperate times call for desperate measures. Nurse sheila’s surgery, it worked out just fine. And that’s all that matters.

Sanchez: You know, forgive me for asking, but what are you hoping to find with this? Closure?

Finn: Maybe.

Sanchez: You said something was bothering you.

Finn: Just how she died. So brutally. I guess I’m just looking for a little more insight into what went down.

Sanchez: Well, I mean, you could, um, call a zookeeper. I’m sure they’d be able to tell you a little bit more about bear behavior than some chomped off toe can.

Finn: That may be right.

Sanchez: I should get going. It was good seeing you. You can give me a call if you have any more questions.

Finn: All right. Thank you.

Sanchez: Mm-hmm. Hello, steffy.

Steffy: Hi, detective sanchez.

Sanchez: You’re doing well?

Steffy: Uh, yeah. I’m fine. Is everything okay?

Sanchez: Yeah. Just dropping something off to your husband. I’m sure he’ll explain.

Steffy: Good to see you. Why was detective sanchez here?

[ Steffy gasps ] Is that– what are you doing with sheila’s toe?

Finn: Hopefully getting some much needed answers. (Birds chirping)

Thomas: You should probably take that photo home with you, by the way. Dad’s not gonna want it around once he’s married to my mother. That’s still happening, by the way, even after this little hiccup.

Brooke: Hiccup? That’s what you’re calling what you did to me and to your father. What is wrong with you, thomas?

Thomas: I don’t know. I– I mean, I had a really screwed-up stepmom when I was a kid.

Brooke: Oh, my god!

Thomas: Other than that–

Brooke: This again? Do you really hate me that much?

Thomas: I don’t hate you, brooke. God, honestly, I don’t even think about you that much.

Brooke: Oh, you do. You think about me all the time. You think about how to ruin my life, how to destroy my marriage.

Thomas: That’s not about you. That’s about my father and wanting what’s best for him and his happiness.

Brooke: Thomas, you don’t give a damn about your father and what he wants. All you want is your little fantasy of having your family back together. Well, you know what? You hurt your father. You betrayed him by destroying our marriage. What has he done for you? He’s done nothing but defend you and love you and supports you. And this is how you repay him? This is how you show your love? What? You have nothing to say?

Thomas: What do you want me to say? Like, I’m sorry. Or I really want you and my dad to live happily ever after? No, I’m not gonna do that.

Brooke: Wow. You have no remorse. None at all.

Thomas: Because I don’t want you with my dad and ruining his relationship with my mom? No, I don’t have remorse for that.

Brooke: I’m really worried about you, thomas.

Thomas: Don’t be. I’m fine.

Brooke: No, you’re not fine. I’m worried about all the things that you’ve done, the lies, the manipulations, the things you’ve done to my daughter, how you treated her, your schemes, your bad choices. You’ve done so much. But this time, you’ve gone too far. You hurt both of your parents, thomas. This time, you’re going to pay for what you’ve done.

Steffy: Answers about sheila from her toe? What exactly are you talking about?

Finn: Something about her death just never sat right with me.

Steffy: I mean, you’re not wrong. I definitely had my questions and concerns, but it seems like all the evidence from the scene adds up. I mean, perfect example. Her toe is proof.

Finn: Chomped off toe as sanchez put it.

Steffy: What exactly are you thinking?

Finn: It’s just a little convenient, right? This idea that sheila was attacked and mauled by a bear? I– I– I avoided bringing it up to you. You just had so much going on with your family.

Steffy: Bringing what up?

Finn: This suspicion I’ve had. I mean, does this look chomped off to you?

Steffy: I don’t– I don’t really know. That’s not my area of expertise.

Finn: I wanna look at it closer, like under a microscope. But just to the naked eye, it’s– it looks too clean.

Steffy: Oh, my god. Are you suggesting sheila isn’t dead?

Finn: I think she’s alive, steffy. Sheila carter is alive.

Sheila: This little piggy went to market. This little piggy stayed home. And this little piggy had roast beef. This little piggy had none. And this little piggy, well, she had to take one for the team. But she’s kept mama out of prison.

Steffy: Is it true? Is sheila alive? Oh, my god.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Nicole says absolutely not to going home with EJ and insists that she’s not drunk. EJ says he wasn’t suggesting they do anything, he was just offering her one of their many guest bedrooms. Nicole asks if he’s sure. EJ asks what better use of the guest rooms and assures it’d be no trouble at all. EJ admits he could use the company. Nicole then accepts his offer and starts to get up but stumbles. EJ guesses she is more drunk than she thought. EJ gets up to help Nicole walk right as Eric arrives and sees them together. Eric questions what Nicole is doing with EJ. Nicole responds that she’s leaving. Eric asks where the hell they are going. EJ informs Eric that Nicole is coming home with him.

At the police station, Shawn finishes a call with Jada, telling her not to worry about it and feel better. Belle comes in and informs Shawn that Melinda isn’t backing down and plans to charge Paulina with this so-called cover up, so she’ll have to spend the night in jail. Shawn complains that the papers will be all over this and that Melinda just lives to see her name on the front page. Shawn asks how Paulina is doing. Belle says that Paulina thinks she can handle it as long as Chanel is out of jail. Shawn says that Belle has her work cut out for her. Belle responds that Stephanie does too. Belle knows Stephanie is supposed to be a PR genius, but she doesn’t know how she can spin this one.

Alex shows up at Paulina’s office, only to find Stephanie hugging Chad. Stephanie asks what he’s doing there. Alex explains that when she cancelled on their date, he thought maybe she wouldn’t have time to eat, so he brought her food. Stephanie thanks him and says that’s so thoughtful of him. Alex then calls it unnecessary since he assumed she was busy with work.

Sonny and Leo continue going through the wanted ads at the Kiriakis Mansion to find Leo a job. Leo gets why Sonny can’t give him a job at Titan, but asks if he could at least give him a reference. Leo adds that he knows Paulina won’t. Sonny says they have their work cut out for them. Leo knows Sonny doesn’t have to be doing this and he doesn’t deserve it, but he does appreciate it. Sonny responds that right now, he has nothing better to do.

Kristen remarks to herself that Marlena was wrong as sometimes her schemes actually do work, like tonight as she wasn’t actually going to visit EJ while dressed as Susan, she just needed to get Brady to see her in a new light and it worked. Brady then returns to the room. Kristen thought he was putting Rachel to bed. Brady explains that she wanted John to tell her another bedtime story. Brady questions if Kristen was having a full on conversation with a doll when he walked in.

Shawn tells Belle about taking this job to put the bad guys away, yet there are still so many around out there while he’s arresting Paulina and Chanel. Belle knows it’s been a rough couple of weeks, but he has tomorrow off so he can relax and regroup. Shawn reveals he doesn’t anymore as Jada just called in and said she needs the next few days off to recover from a medical procedure. Belle questions what kind of medical procedure.

Eric questions what EJ just said. Nicole confirms that she’s going home with EJ. Eric asks if she’s drunk. EJ questions if Eric is passing judgment and calls that out of character. Nicole insists that she is not drunk. EJ adds that even if she was, it would be none of Eric’s damn business. Eric tells EJ to stay out of this. Eric warns Nicole that this is not a good idea, reminding her of what happened last night. Nicole tells Eric not to worry about her marriage or her reputation, because it’s shot to Hell. Eric says he’s worried about her and argues that sleeping with Xander is the biggest mistake of her life, then asks if she’s going to double down by going home with EJ. EJ calls Eric the biggest mistake of her life. Eric questions what the hell is wrong with her.

Leo’s stomach growls, so Sonny questions him not eating dinner. Leo reminds him that he has no money. Sonny decides he will go talk to Cook about making them something. Leo hopes he’s not overstepping. Sonny jokes that they are way past that point as he exits the room. Sonny’s phone then rings with a call from Will, so Leo answers it.

Chad tells Alex that it’s not what it looks like. Stephanie explains that she told Chad that he could go home to his kids but he decided to stay, so she was just showing him how grateful she was for his help. Chad adds that they are in the middle of a crisis. Alex asks what’s going on. Stephanie explains that they were about to issue a PR statement for Paulina, but then Paulina got arrested as Melinda came up with some bogus charges about a criminal cover up which she calls just an attempt to keep her name in the headlines. Chad adds that it’s hard to counter because the charges are not exactly untrue. Stephanie says they’ve been wrestling with a revised statement. Alex offers to try to help. Stephanie says it would be amazing if he would be willing to take a look. Alex says he doesn’t have any other plans anymore and he did stick his neck out to steal the file from Sloan, so he is involved. Alex adds that Chanel is his friend too, so he’d love to help her and Paulina out. Alex then sits down to take a look. Alex agrees that they are in a hell of a mess.

Shawn tells Belle that Jada didn’t tell him what kind of procedure and it’s not really his business. Belle explains that she was just asking because Eric told Marlena that Jada is pregnant, which surprises Shawn. Shawn wonders if this has something to do with the baby. Belle asks how many medical procedures pregnant women have. Shawn asks if she thinks Jada was having an abortion but Belle insists there is no way since Jada told Marlena that she’s having the baby and Eric was so excited about being a dad. Belle just hopes nothing went wrong.

Nicole tells Eric to just go ahead and call her a slut. Eric says he’s not calling her anything and he just thinks her sleeping with EJ is a big mistake. Nicole argues that she didn’t say she was going to sleep with him, just that she was going home with him to his house and guest bedroom because she doesn’t have a house since she blew up her marriage to be with Eric and now Eric and Rafe both hate her so she’s been sleeping in her office. Eric argues that he doesn’t hate her while Nicole insists that he does because he thinks she talked Jada in to an abortion. Eric just doesn’t know why Nicole talked to Jada at all. EJ tells Eric that Nicole doesn’t have to listen to this. Eric then yells at EJ to get his hands off of her.

Kristen asks what Brady is so concerned about. Brady finds it strange that Kristen is talking to inanimate objects. Kristen jokes that it’s because she and Rachel have been playing with dolls so much. Brady brings up Rachel’s Christmas list having all the traditional items like a bike and a pony, but then she says more than anything in the world, she wants her mom and dad to be married.

Leo tells Will that Sonny is fine and is just getting them so food. Sonny comes back in and questions what Leo is doing on his phone. Leo responds that he was just talking to Sonny’s husband, so Sonny runs over and grabs the phone from him. Sonny tells Will that everything is fine and he was just helping Leo look for jobs online. Sonny says he remembers everything Leo did to him, but a lot has changed since Will has been gone. Sonny asks if they can just talk about this when Will comes home for Christmas, but Will then reveals that he is not coming home for Christmas.

Brady accuses Kristen of putting Rachel up to this. Kristen denies that and says every kid wants their parents to be together. Brady complains that now Rachel actually thinks it’s possible because Kristen blackmailed her way in to this house. Kristen doesn’t see it that way. Brady argues that Kristen is getting Rachel’s hopes up for something that’s never going to happen. Kristen adds that if she wanted to get married to him, she would’ve just made it a condition of their agreement. Kristen reminds Brady that in another month, Marlena, Kate, and Kayla are going to get sick again. Brady asks if she’s just working her way up to forcing him to marry her, but Kristen says she’s not and never will.

Shawn tells Belle that Jada told him the other day that she and Eric broke up. Belle responds that they are still going to raise the baby together. Belle talks about how Eric has always wanted to be a father, so he’s not going to just leave Jada high and dry. Shawn brings up that Rafe said Eric and Nicole were back together. Belle says that having a baby is complicated, but Eric would be a really good dad. Shawn guesses Belle is worried about him now. Belle hopes it’s nothing and says she’ll call Eric tomorrow. Shawn asks if Belle wants to get out of here. Belle says she will work on Paulina’s arraignment in the morning so there isn’t much else she can do now. Shawn suggests they go drown their sorrows at Small Bar. Belle agrees and they exit together.

Eric tells Nicole that she doesn’t have to go home with EJ. EJ asks if Eric is offering an alternative and suggests a room at his dad’s bar, next to Eric’s ex with an axe to grind. Eric remarks that he’s trying to overlook EJ being a dirtbag because his mom died. EJ warns him to keep his mother’s name out of his mouth. Nicole asks where Eric suggests she go. EJ remarks that he probably thinks she should go to Hell. Eric warns EJ to stay out of this. EJ tells Eric to go ahead and take a swing at him. EJ says Eric might feel better by blaming him for his bad life. EJ adds that Eric didn’t have to lose his baby and Nicole, but it was his choice. Eric then punches EJ in the face, knocking him down.

Sonny gets angry when Will tells him that he can’t come home for Christmas because of his job. Sonny claims he understands and says he’ll talk to him later. Sonny starts to cry and hangs up. Leo questions there being no “I love you”. Sonny says not tonight. Leo tells him that he’s sorry.

Alex, Stephanie, and Chad eat the Chinese food that Alex brought. Alex has Stephanie try Stinky Tofu and says he’s broadening her boundaries. They go over the statement and Stephanie asks what they think. Chad thinks it’s solid while Alex finds it tepid and thinks they need to go on the offense rather than just run away from the accusations. Chad argues that Paulina can’t admit to anything when it’s an ongoing case. Alex says they don’t have to get in to details and points out that all Paulina is guilty of is protecting her child and asks why she should apologize for being guilty of that. Stephanie agrees and says he just gave her a great idea. Alex smiles and looks over at Chad, who shakes his head.

Nicole questions what the hell is wrong with Eric as EJ gets back to his feet. Shawn and Belle arrive. Shawn asks what’s going on. EJ responds that Eric just assaulted him. Shawn asks if that’s true. EJ argues that he didn’t push himself over. Belle questions what happened. EJ explains that Jada had an abortion and Eric is blaming Nicole for it. Eric calls that private while EJ argues that so is Nicole’s personal life. Shawn separates them and tries to take Eric outside to cool down but Eric tells him to get his hands off of him. Shawn and Belle question if Eric has been drinking. Eric admits that he had a drink. Belle argues that he doesn’t drink anymore. Eric calls it a choice and says he’s not an alcoholic. Shawn asks how many he had. Nicole doesn’t know since he just got there. Shawn questions Eric having a drink and then getting in a car to drive to a bar and asks if he was going to have more drinks. Eric questions if he’s the alcohol police. Shawn says he’s just a friend and tries to take Eric outside again but Eric shoves Shawn down and reminds him that he said to get his hands off of him, shocking Belle, Nicole, and EJ.

Brady questions what is stopping Kristen from upping her ante on her blackmail. Kristen points out that when she got out of prison, Brady wouldn’t talk to her or even look at her, so she had to break through that wall somehow and now they are living together, raising their daughter. Kristen says she won’t keep giving him ultimatums as she doesn’t want to force him in to something he doesn’t want. Kristen reminds Brady that what they had was always real and says it still is. Kristen says she feels it right now. Brady responds that if she’s sincere about not wanting to manipulate him and if she really cares about and loves him, then she can prove it by just giving him the orchid that saves Marlena, Kayla, and Kate’s lives.

Leo asks Sonny why Will is not coming home for Christmas. Sonny says it’s the same old stuff as he’s doing another movie for Peacock and they want him on set. Leo asks if Sonny thinks Will is lying. Sonny says of course not. Leo suggests Sonny go out there to see him, but Sonny says he can’t and points out that Will didn’t exactly encourage that either. Sonny adds that Gabi has already made winter plans for Arianna. Leo guesses answering Sonny’s phone didn’t help. Sonny questions why he did. Leo claims that he called Sonny but he didn’t hear him, so he figured he would answer and let Will know he was there but he forgot he’s a trigger for Will. Leo swears he was not trying to make trouble. Sonny responds that Leo doesn’t have to try, he just does. Leo decides he will go and tells Sonny that he appreciates his help with the wanted ads. Sonny stops Leo and invites him to stay for dinner since the food is already being made.

Stephanie goes over the statement and says it’s better but still missing something. Alex feels it’s closer. Chad then points out that it’s missing Paulina’s voice as she would never say “my daughter”, she would say “my little girl”. Stephanie smiles and agrees. Stephanie then revises the statement and Alex calls it perfect.

Brady repeats that if Kristen really wants him to believe that she’s not manipulative and blackmailing him anymore, then she can just give him the orchid now. Kristen responds that she would really love to do that, but questions what would stop him from kicking her out, calling the cops, and going back to Chloe. Brady says Rachel’s reaction would stop him and as far as Chloe is concerned, he can’t go back to her because she’s with Stefan now. Kristen feels he will still move her out and that will crush Rachel. Kristen argues that this living arrangement isn’t so terrible. Brady suggests she ask John and Marlena that. Kristen points out that they are raising their daughter together and they are happy. Kristen asks if there’s a little part of Brady that is happy too.

Belle checks on Shawn, who assures he’s okay. EJ points out that’s two assaults in one night and one was on an officer of the law. EJ asks Shawn if he’s going to arrest Eric. Shawn asks if EJ is pressing charges. EJ asks why wouldn’t he. Nicole points out that Eric didn’t mean to but EJ insists that he did and he meant to hurt Nicole when he accused her of killing his baby. EJ declares that Nicole doesn’t owe Eric a damn thing which she agrees with. Nicole decides that if EJ wants to press charges, she won’t stand in his way. Shawn tells Eric that he’s sorry then as he doesn’t have a choice. Shawn then handcuffs Eric.

Stephanie, Alex, and Chad toast to teamwork. Alex points out that there’s only two fortune cookies since he didn’t know Chad would be hanging out. Chad says there’s no worries as they open them up. Alex reads his fortune which says “Help, I’m trapped inside of a fortune cookie factory.” Stephanie then shows Alex her fortune, which reads “You’re looking at the man of your dreams.”

EJ goes home with Nicole to the DiMera Mansion. EJ pours a drink and asks if he can get Nicole anything. Nicole declines and thinks she’s had enough for the night. EJ asks how she’s doing. Nicole admits she’s not good as she feels responsible for Eric going off like that tonight. EJ tells her she can’t blame herself. Nicole argues that even EJ agreed that she talked Jada in to an abortion. EJ argues that doesn’t excuse Eric’s behavior. EJ states that Eric wanted a baby, but Jada didn’t and she realized that while talking to Nicole, so if Eric can’t respect her choice, that’s his problem. Nicole supposes that’s true but since she can’t have a baby, she would do anything to be in Jada’s shoes. EJ asks if she means to be having a baby with Eric. Nicole complains that her head is spinning and she doesn’t know what to think or how to feel. Nicole brings up Eric getting drunk behind the wheel and killing Daniel and how she never thought he’d drink again after that. EJ understands she’s worried about Eric, but points out that his sister is his lawyer and his brother in law was his arresting officer, so he’s going to get off with a slap on the wrist. EJ hopes that will be the wakeup call that Eric needs.

Shawn and Belle bring Eric to the police station. Eric calls it ridiculous that EJ is a bonafide criminal and he’s getting him arrested. Shawn points out that EJ pressed charges, so he had no choice. Eric asks Belle to help him and do something. Belle responds that she’s sorry but she can’t.

Brady asks Kristen if he looks happy. Kristen points out that answering a question with a question is still an answer. Brady asks if she thinks he’s going to suddenly decide to want to marry her. Kristen says she’s not delusional and suggests baby steps. Kristen wants to start right now by spending the night together. Brady argues that’s not baby steps. Kristen points out that they’ve had sex before and she’s never known him to turn her down. Kristen urges Brady to give in to his feelings, say screw it, and go make love right now.

Sonny and Leo eat sandwiches and chips together. Leo finds a listing for an executive assistant job and gets excited but then realizes it was just Paulina listing for his replacement. Sonny laughs and says Paulina will never find anyone else like him.

Chad decides he should get home. Stephanie thanks him for staying. Chad says it was his pleasure but he’s not sure how much he helped. Stephanie says she couldn’t have done it without both of them. Chad says he’ll see her tomorrow and thanks Alex for the tofu. Chad then exits. Alex then apologizes for overreacting but Stephanie says she’s glad he came in when he did because a new perspective is just what they needed. Stephanie adds that she does feel bad about canceling their date. They agree on a rain check. Alex and Stephanie then start kissing as Chad returns, having forgot his coat. Chad then walks in to see them kissing.

EJ brings Nicole to the guest bedroom and says he hopes it suits her. Nicole says it has a bed so it already beats her office. EJ tells her that she’s welcome to stay as long as she needs, noting that there’s toiletries in the bathroom and aspirin for her headache in the morning. EJ offers to have her things sent over but Nicole says given their history, she doesn’t plan on overstaying her welcome. Nicole thanks EJ for this. Nicole then notices a photo of EJ and Susan on the end table and asks if this was Susan’s room. EJ says he’ll get that out of her way. Nicole asks if he’s sure he wants her to stay in this room when there are so many others. EJ calls it the nicest room and says he wants her to have it as she deserves it. EJ says he’ll see her in the morning and tells her to sleep well as he then exits the room.

Shawn tells Eric that court is closed for the night so there is nothing Belle can do tonight. Belle gets the circumstances but points out that Eric isn’t even pressing charges for the worst thing he did tonight which was assaulting a cop. Eric argues that he barely touched him. Shawn advises Eric to keep his voice down. Belle brings up that Eric was drinking and driving and punched EJ. Eric calls EJ an ass but tells Belle to go ahead and take his side since she did sleep with him. Belle asks if he’s serious. Belle questions him wanting her help and then provoking her. Belle tells Eric that he’s on his own then and can get his own lawyer. Eric tries to apologize but Belle says to get him out of her face so Shawn escorts Eric away to be locked up.

Brady tells Kristen that he’s sorry but until she hands over the orchid to him, nothing is going to happen between them and then walks out of the room.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Go home with you. Sorry, pal. I look, I know I have had a few drinks. I am not drunk. I, okay. Calm down. I wasn’t suggesting anything lascivious. I was nearly offering you one of our many guest bedrooms. Oh well honey, are you sure or better use for them than to rest the weary head of the fellow damage saw and I wouldn’t be any trouble.

No trouble at all, truthfully told I could use the company. Okay. What the hell? Ow. Oh, you’re a little more blotter than you originally forget. Oh, lemme talk. You come here. I’m fine. No you are not. You’re a mess. Come here.

Oh God. Give me a strength. How are you doing with ej?

Leaving now? If you excuse us leaving. What the hell you going? Not it’s any of your business, but she’s coming home with me,

Jada. Don’t worry about it. Okay. All right. Just feel better. All right.

Uh, from the look on your face, I think it’s safe to say that that didn’t go well. Yeah. Trask isn’t backing down. I didn’t think she. Yeah, she’s gonna charge Paulina with this so-called coverup. So now she has to spend the night in jail. Oh, Paulina was elected like two seconds ago. The pavers are gonna have a field day with this.

Yeah, I’m sure that had nothing to do with draft’s decision. Isn’t that woman? She lives to see her name on the front page. How’s Paulina doing? Well she said she thinks she can handle whatever Sloan and craft dish out now that Chanel’s outta jail so well for now. She could still be extradited the uk. So you bet you were cut out for your counselor.

Hmm. So does Stephanie. I know she’s supposed to be some PR genius, but I don’t know how you spend this one.

Alex, what are you doing here? Well, when you canceled on our day, you said you were busy and I thought maybe you wouldn’t find the time to eat. So thank you. That is so thoughtful. And also unnecessary. See, when you told me that you were busy, I assumed with work. My bad.

Okay. Well, it’s shorthand and typing at a hundred words per minute. Shorthand and typing. Yes. I have to wear hat and gloves and fetch the boss’s coffee too. Okay. Let’s just go at this from another direction. What are you good at? Fast learner. Mm-hmm. fast fingers. Mm-hmm. , excellent fashion sense. Okay. Well, you just advised my brother that he should not wear a shirt for the rest of his life.

Exactly. Look, Sonny, I get why you can’t give me a job at Titan, but could you at least give me a reference right. Well, I know Paulina won’t, so, so we definitely have our work cut out for us. Yeah.

Sunny, I know you don’t have to be doing this and I certainly don’t deserve it, but I do appreciate it. Um, right now I have nothing better to do.

Yeah, your doppel was wrong. Sometimes my schemes actually do work. Like tonight. For instance, I wasn’t really gonna go visit EJ dressed like Susan. I just needed Brady to see me in a new light. And guess what? It worked

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

I thought, uh, you were putting Rachel to bed. Yeah, she was stalling. Her grandfather wanted her too. Tell her another story. Were you having a full on conversation with that doll? Well, I don’t know how much you heard. Just enough to be concerned.

You know, I, I took this job, right, trying to put the bad guys away, and still there’s so many of ’em out there that are just running around free. And meanwhile, I’m arresting the likes of Pauline and Chanel. I know, I know. It’s been a rush couple weeks. But you have tomorrow off, you can relax and regroup.

No, not anymore. Jada just called, she said she needs a couple days off medical leave. Is everything okay? Yeah. Yeah. She said she’s fine. She’s just recovering from a medical procedure. Really? What kind of medical procedure? What did she say? He said, I’m going home with him. Are you drunk? Passing judgment, Derek.

Whew. How? Out of character, you’re drunk and you’re going home with him. I am not drunk. And even if she were, it would be none of your damned. You know what? You stay outta this. This isn’t a good idea. You remember what happened last time? Oh, are you referring to when I slept with Xander? If you’re worried about my marriage or my reputation, well stop because it’s shot to hell.

Yep. Nicole Walker, fallen woman. Well, I’m worried about you. You, you are butting in. Yeah. Well, you remembered that was the biggest mistake of your life. She’s looking at the biggest mistake of her life. So you’re gonna double down and go home with this poly. The hell is wrong with.

What happened to that candy dish? Oh, uh, uncle Vic is watching his blood sugar.

I’m sorry. Was that your stomach? Neither that, or a small plane is coming in for. Didn’t you eat dinner yet? I’m on a budget of $0 a day. I cleared out the donuts at an AA meeting for lunch. Leo, you’re in aa? No, but they were free. Oh my God. Okay, I think I can take a hint. What? Hint? I’m gonna go talk to Cook, see if he can lift with something up.

I hope I’m not overstepping. No. I think we’re way past that point for anybody.

Oh, son, your phone

will, well, let me know what’s up. It’s Leo. That’s not what it looks like. I told Chad he could go home to his kids, but he said he’d stay. So I was just showing him how grateful I am for his health. We’re in the middle of a crisis here. What’s going on? Well, we were about to issue a PR statement for Paulina, but then, um, I normally wouldn’t share this, but it’s about to hit the news any minute now.

Pauline has been arrested for what? The DA came up with some bogus charges about a criminal coverup. It’s all just an obvious ploy to keep her name in the. , which is sort of hard to counter because, well, they’re not exactly untrue. We’ve been wrestling with a revised statement, but I, I don’t know. It’s just, it’s sounding more generic than I want it to be.

Oh. Do you think a fresh set of eyes would help, or? Well, if you’d be willing to take a look, that would be amazing. Obviously, I don’t have any other plans anymore, and I did stick my neck up to steal that file from Sloan. So I got skin in the game too, and she knows also my friend and I would love to help her and her mom.

Let’s give her a little look. Oh, what do we have here?

Oh yeah, they are in a hell of a mess.

Uh, Jada didn’t tell me what kind of procedure and honestly, it’s, it’s not really my business. Right. Well, no, I mean, I’m just asking because, um, Eric told my mom that Jada’s pregnant, she is . Wait, do you think this has something to do with the baby? Well, I mean, isn’t that likely, how many medical procedures do pregnant women have?

Do you think that, uh, what She had an abortion? No. No, no. Especially because she told my mom that she was. Going through with the baldness and Eric is so excited about being a dad. No, I just, I just hope nothing went wrong. Why don’t you just go ahead and say it, Eric? Huh? Call me a slut. I’m calling you anything.

I think he’s sleeping with EJ is a big mistake. I didn’t say I was gonna sleep with him. I said I was going home with him to his. To his guest bedroom because I don’t have a house because I blew up my marriage to be with you, and now you and RA both hate me and I’m sleeping in my office. I don’t hate you.

Of course you do because you think I talked your girlfriend into having an abortion. I just don’t know why you talked to her at all. She doesn’t have to listen to any more of your, get your hands off for her.

So what are you so concerned about? I just, you know, I think it’s a little strange you talking to inanimate objects. I mean, Rachel and I have been playing dolls so much. Uh, the Dawson, I are on a first name basis. How maternal, by the way, we got, um, Rachel’s Christmas list. She texted it to me and, uh, it’s, she texted it.

Yeah. That’s how they’re doing it these days, apparently. So, but we have all the traditional items. We have, uh, bike, we have a real pony, we have, uh, wrong. New item added to the list. Um, she says, more than anything in the world, what I want is for mommy and daddy to be married.

What? No, Sunny’s fine. He’s just in the other room getting us some food. All right. So Cook said, what are you doing on my phone? I’m talking to your husband. Well, hi. Hi. Yes. No, everything’s fine. I was just helping Leah look for some jobs online. Yes, I remember everything that he did to. But a lot, a lot has changed since you’ve been gone.

I, it’s can look. Can we just, can we talk about this? When you come home for Christmas, we’ll have snow and missile tell,

what do you mean you’re not coming home?

You put Rachel up to this, didn’t you? Of course not Every kid wants their parents to be together. Rachel’s no different. Yeah, but now she actually thinks it’s a possibility because you blackmailed your way into this house. Well, I don’t see it that way. I don’t think there’s any other way to see it.

Kristen, I’m sure you didn’t bother telling her that. She’s getting her hopes up for nothing. Okay. If I wanted to get married to you, I wouldn’t whisper it in Rachel’s Sierra. I would just make it a condition of our agreement. In another month, Marna, Kate and Kayla are gonna get sick again. I will just march you to the altar.

In exchange for the organ. It’s going cure them. Yeah. Mm-hmm. . And you’re just working your way up to that, aren’t you? No, I’m not. And I never,

Jada told me the other day that she and Eric broke off. Well, yeah, but they’re still gonna raise the baby together. I mean, Eric has always wanted to be a father and he would never ever leave Jada High and drive, but Ray said that. Ray said that Eric and Nicole back together. Yeah, having a baby is complicated, but still Eric would be a really good dad.

Now you worried about him, aren’t you? Hopefully it’s nothing. I’ll give him a call tomorrow. You wanna get outta here? Yeah, I’m gonna try to get Paul rained in the morning, so there’s not really anything else I can do here tonight. So what do you say? We, uh, drown our sorrows at small bar. Sounds like a plan.

All right, let’s go.

You don’t have to go home with him. Oh. Are you offering an alternative? A room at your dad’s bar, perhaps. Maybe next door to your ex with an axt grind. I’m trying to overlook. You beat a Dirtbag because your mom died. You keep my mother’s name out of your mouth. Where do you suggest I go, Eric? He probably thinks you should go to house if you don’t stay out of this.

I swear. Swear. What? What? Hmm? You gonna knock my block off? Go on, take a. You know, it might make you feel better to blame me for your screwed up life, but the fact of the matter is it’s all on you. You didn’t have to lose your baby. And Nicole, that was your choice.

Oh, what? Your job, your job? No, no, no. Of course, of course. I understand. Why, why wouldn’t I understand?

Look, I, I’ll talk to you later. Okay. Bye. What? No, I. Not tonight.

Sunny. I’m sorry. Yeah, me too.

Hmm.

It’s wrong. You don’t like it? Oh, what’s that smell? Oh, stinky tofu. The best I’ve ever had. Mind you. All right here in the little town of Salem. I couldn’t believe it. And you need to try it. Okay. If you start to feed her, I’m outta here. Oh, great. No, no. We have well established boundaries. Boundaries.

Hmm. I mean, that’s delicious. Maybe I’m more of a tofu fan than I thought. Ah, broadening boundaries. That’s my specialty.

Okay. So you guys have both read the statement. What do we think? I think it looks solid. We’re kind of. Tepid. I mean, I really think that you need to go on the offense here rather than just running away from the accusations. Yeah. Pauline can’t admit to anything. There’s an ongoing case. No, I’m not saying we gotta get into the details of it.

What I mean, Chad, is there anything that you wouldn’t do to protect your kids? No. No. What parent wouldn’t, I mean, at the end of the day here, isn’t that all that Pauline is really guilty. Why should she have to apologize for that? No, you’re right. She shouldn’t. You just gave me a great idea.

What the hell is wrong with you? Oh God. Are you okay? I think so. What’s going on? Your brother assaulted me. Is that true? Well, I didn’t push myself to the ground. What happened? He got his niggers in a bunch because his girlfriend had an abortion and he decided it was Nicole’s fault. Oh, here, that’s fright.

So was Nicole’s personal life. Alright. Right. All right. All right. All right. Calm down. Okay. Come on Eric. Let’s go outside. Hey, go. What? Get your hands off of me. Have you been drinking? Have you? Yeah, I had a drink so, Eric, you don’t drink anymore. What’s a choice of not an alcoholic? Tonight I chose to have a drink.

How many did he have? I don’t know. He just got here. So you had a drink and you got in a car and you drove and you came to a bar to drink more. What are you the alcohol police? No, I’m just a friend. Yeah. Like I said, let’s go outside and get a nice breath here. I said gets your hands off.

I look skeptical because I am. What’s stopping you from upping your auntie on your blackmail? Grady? When I got out of prison, you wouldn’t talk to me. You wouldn’t even look at me. And now, . I, I, I mean, I had to break through that wall somehow. And now look at us. We’re living together, we’re raising our daughter, and I’m not gonna keep giving you ultimatums.

Really? Mm-hmm. . No, I don’t wanna force you into something that, uh, you don’t want. But what we had was always real.

Right. Yeah. I, I’m glad to hear you say that. You are. I am. Because if you are since. About not wanting to manipulate me into a situation against my will. If you truly do love me and care about me, prove it and just give me the orchid.

So why isn’t we coming home for Christmas? It’s the same old stuff. He’s doing another movie for Peacock and they want the writer to be on set. They’re filming over Christmas apparently. You don’t think he’s lying, do you? No,

of course not. Well then why don’t you just go out there and see him? Because I can’t, and it’s not like he exactly encouraged it. And besides, Gabby’s already made a bunch of plans, Ferrari this winter, so.

Hi. I guess my answering your phone didn’t help. Hey, why, why did you answer my phone? Well, I, I called you and you didn’t hear me, so I thought I could let him know that you were here. I forgot. I’m kind of a trigger for him. Sonny. I swear I was not trying to make any trouble. Yeah. Well you don’t have to try Leo.

You just do.

Yeah, I’m gonna go. I, I really appreciate your help. Uh, looking at the one ads. See ya. We wave.

Why don’t you just stay for dinner? I mean, the, the food’s almost ready. That way you won’t have to have stale donuts Again,

it’s, it’s better, but it’s just, it’s still sounding a little flat to me. Hmm. It is closer though.

Do you know what’s missing? It’s pulling his voice. She would never say, my daughter, she would say My little. You’re right.

There you go. That’s perfect.

If you really want me to believe that you’re not being manipulative anymore, Kristen, if you really want me to believe that you wanna stop blackmail me by using Marlena, Kate, and Kayla’s lives. Then just give me the orchid now.

Oh, Brady, I would really love to do that, , but, um, what would stop you from kicking me out? Calling the cops and then going back to ’em is, Well, I’ll, I’ll tell you what would stop me. Number one would be Rachel’s reaction to having her father kick her mother out on Christmas and send her back to prison. As far as Chloe is concerned, I can’t go back to Chloe Kristen.

She’s with Stephan now. Yeah, but you’re, you’re gonna still move me out and, uh, that would crush Rachel. Rachel? Mm-hmm. , how are you? This living arrangement isn’t so terrible. Isn It you might, you, you really might want to ask Dad and Marlene No. And I’m asking you. I’m asking you, Brady. I mean, we’re raising our daughter together.

She’s happy. I’m happy. Isn’t there just a little part of you that’s happy too?

Oh my God. Are you okay? Yeah. Yeah, I’m okay. Two assaults in one night, and one of them an officer of the law. Aren’t you going to arrest him, officer Brady? Well, are you pressing charges? Why wouldn’t I? Well, EJ. Eric didn’t mean of course he did. Just like he meant to hurt you when he accused you of killing his baby.

You don’t owe him anything. Nicole, not a damned thing.

You’re right. I don’t if EJ wants to press charges and I’m not gonna stand in his way.

I’m sorry man. I don’t have a choice.

To teamwork. Hey, I always said three heads are better than two. Hey, cheers.

Hmm. Well, I hate to tell you this, pal. There’s only two fortune cookies. I didn’t know you’re gonna be hanging out. No worries for you. . Thank you. All right. What does your mind say here?

Help. I’m trapped inside of a Fortune cookie factory. Huh? Top that one. Wow.

What? Oh, it’s silly. Oh my God. What does it.

You’re looking at the man of your dreams.

Do you need any ice for that jaw? All I need is some ice for my scotch. Can I get you anything? Uh, no. Nothing. I think I’ve had enough for the night.

How are you doing?

Not good, Eric. I, I feel responsible for him going off like that tonight. You can’t blame yourself. You even, you agreed that I talked Jada into having an abortion that doesn’t excuse Eric’s behavior tonight. Yes, he wanted a baby, but JD didn’t. She realized that when she was talking to you, and if Eric can’t accept her choice, that’s his.

Yeah, I suppose, but coming from a woman who can’t have a child, I’d do anything to be in her shoes to be having a baby with her,

aj, my, my head is spinning. I don’t know what to think or, or how to feel. It’s just that after Eric got drunk behind the wheel and killed. D I know. I just never thought he’d drink again.

You’re worried about him. His sister is his lawyer, his brother-in-law, his arresting officer. He’s going to get off with a slap on the wrist and hopefully that’ll be the wake up calling needs,

and this is, Is a bonafide criminal and he’s getting me arrested if he pressed charges. I don’t have a choice. Bill. Can you help me here? Do something. I’m sorry I can’t.

Do I look happy? Hmm. While answering the question with a question is still an answer, Kristen, if you suddenly think that I’m just gonna decide to, to marry you, look, I’m not that delusional. No, no. I’m talking about baby steps. We could just start right now by, uh, spending the night together. That’s not a baby step.

Mm. Come on Brady. We’ve had sex before. I have never known you to turn me down. Oh, come on. Hey, now you just wanna give into your feelings. Say, screwing it. Why don’t we just go make love right now?

Oh my God. Oh my God. This one is perfect. Highly paid. Executive assistant, self-starter, organized, thinks outside the box. That is me to a t. Oh wait, it is me, , Paulina’s looking for my replacement. What? That’s not funny. I’m sorry. I just, I can confidently say that Paulina will never find anyone else like you.

You know, you’re right about it.

Right? Well, for our finished year, I should, should probably get home. Thank you for staying really. Yeah, my pleasure. Not sure how much I helped, are you kidding me? I couldn’t have done it without you, both of you.

Well, we’ll see you tomorrow. Hey, thanks for the tofu. Hey, you’re welcome man. Good night. Have a good night. Nice chat.

All right. I would like to apologize for overreacting the way I did before. No, I’m glad you came in when you did A new perspective was just what we needed. I do feel bad about our date though.

Brain check

sounds good to me.

I this suit you Well, uh, it has a bed so. 30 beats my office by a mile. . Well, you’re welcome to stay for as long as you need to. There’s toilet trees in the bathroom and aspirin for the headache you’re going to have in the morning. And if you would like your thing sent here, I can just, oh yeah. Ej, given our history, um, I don’t plan on overseeing My welcome.

Thank you for this.

Oh my God. Is this your mother’s room?

I mean, get these out of your way. Oh, well, are you sure you want me to stay in here? I mean, there’s so many other rooms. It’s the nicest room, and I would like you to have it. You deserve it.

I’ll see you in the morning. Sleep up,

of course, close for the day. There’s nothing the bell can do for you. Listen, Eric, I know that there are extenuating circumstances here, and I get that you’re really upset, okay? But you’re not even facing charges for the worst thing you did here tonight. You assaulted a cop. I barely, my husband touched him.

Okay. Eric, please keep your voice down, right? You were drinking and driving. You punched EJ ejs in the ass, but sure, you know what, you just, you take his side. I mean, after all you slept with him. Are you serious? You want my help and then you provoke me. You know what? You’re on your own. Tomorrow. I’ll get your own lawyer.

I’m sorry. Get him out of my face. Hey Eric, let’s go. Come on, bill. No, we’re gonna get you locked up. Let’s go. Come on. Let’s go.

Sorry

until you hand over that orchid to me.

Nothing’s gonna.
