Nicole told EJ that Johnny and Wendy thought he was drugging Stefan. EJ was shocked his son would think that about him. He was concerned that Johnny would ruin the plan. He talked about switching the drinks on Stefan. He said Stefan had another opportunity to make a fool out of himself. Stefan came in and stumbled. EJ thought it was the after effect of the brainwashing. Stefan said he wanted to go lie down. She told EJ their plan would be for nothing if no one saw Stefan stumbling around. EJ had an idea. He called Wei and invited him to dinner. Johnny saw Tripp at the hospital. Johnny asked if he could get a copy of his father’s test results. Tripp wouldn’t give it to him and walked away from him. Johnny noticed Tripp’s badge on the counter. Johnny went to see Wendy. He showed her a copy of his father’s test results. She wondered how he got the results. He said he had his ways. He asked her what it meant because he didn’t know what it meant. She looked at the dark web and found out the vial EJ had tested contained a drug that caused euphoria and had side effects. They realized EJ lied to them about it being a recreational drug Stefan was taking. She asked if EJ was planning on drugging Stefan so he could make a fool of himself in front of her father.

He said Stefan might have permanent brain damage. Stefan came in and made drinks for everyone. Nicole said he forgot the olives. When Stefan turned his back, EJ switched the glasses. Stefan said they didn’t have anymore. When EJ went to look, Stefan switched the glasses. Gwen yelled at Xander for using her. She said she would never be the one he would take home to meet his mother. He said his mother was dead to him. She said he would never commit to her. He said he was going to marry her until she drugged Sarah. She reminded him that she killed Susan. He reminded her that she killed Laura. She said he wasn’t any better than she was. She said he was always putting Sarah on a pedestal. She said she would never measure up to Sarah. She asked if she was right. He admitted that she was. She said she didn’t know how she was going to be able to work with him when she wants to hurt him. He said he was going to make life easier for her since it was her father’s paper. He said she would do a great job without him. He told her goodbye and left. He went to see Maggie and told her the conversation with Gwen didn’t go well. Alex ran into Gwen at the bar.

EJ covered and said she could help them get Stefan the help he needs. He thought they shouldn’t say anything about it yet. Li saw Stefan and Gabi kissing in the park. Gabi walked over to Li and Stefan told him the kiss was one-sided. He lied to Li and said that he tried to get Gabi to break their contract. Gabi played along with him and said that she was going to honor their contract. Li told him there was a stipulation. If she cheats on him, their contract was null and void. Li told Gabi it would be a shame to lose all that power and shares because Stefan couldn’t keep his hands off of her. He said it would look bad if they even looked like they were having an affair. Li and Gabi walked off while Stefan faltered. Sloan kissed Eric when she saw him talking to Nicole. Nicole called her a tramp, and Sloan called her out her name. Sloan tried to slap her, but Nicole grabbed her wrist. Nicole warned her to watch herself because she was the one who invented that move.

At the pub, Leo ran into Chad. Leo asked him about what was going on at Titan. Chad said he didn’t have any gossip for him. Leo kept asking him for a comment.

She wanted to know what was wrong with Chad. He apologized for telling Leo about her mother. She asked him about the stuff he said about Alex. He said he was wrong, but he was glad that Alex didn’t get the CEO position.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Billy: I love this.

Chelsea: Yeah?

Billy: It’s like a whole separate world.

Chelsea: Yeah. And each area of concern for our hero is a different style.

Billy: Yeah, family, work, romance. I get it. It’s all here.

Chelsea: Right. Right. So, part of the challenge is balancing the three.

Billy: And that depends on the stage in the life of the hero.

Chelsea: Yep.

Billy: It’s — it’s great.

Chelsea: Yes!

Billy: You’re really onto something.

Chelsea: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

[ Laughs ]

[ Knock on door ]

Chloe: Chelsea, are you home?

Chelsea: Oh.

[ Both chuckle ]

[ Clears throat ]

[ Door opens ] Hi! This is a surprise!

Chloe: Hi. Yeah. Sorry for just showing up, but i was in the neighborhood, and i just wanted to check in and see how you were doing.

Chelsea: Yeah. I’m good. Well, come on in.

Chloe: Okay. Thanks.

Billy: Hey, chloe.

Chloe: Hi. Um, look who’s here. I — I’m so sorry. I didn’t realize that you had company. Is this a bad time?

Nikki: I was so happy to get your invitation. We haven’t been able to catch up in a while.

Summer: I know. That’s my fault. Um, things have been really hectic lately.

Nikki: Hectic? What’s bothering you, honey? Or do I already know?

Summer: It’s — it’s dad and the situation with sally.

Nikki: That makes two of us. I don’t understand why he wants to get mixed up with a person whose life is so chaotic. I mean, what does he see in her? Everything else in the rest of his life is great. But leave it to sally spectra to bring on the trouble.

Summer: Especially now, with a baby on the way.

Nikki: Baby? What baby?

Nick: So, I basically laid down the law with summer. I told her she needs to have an open mind about our relationship.

Sally: I hate to cause friction between you and your daughter.

Nick: Ah, don’t worry about it. She and I are crazy close. We’re strong enough to get through it.

Sally: Well, I don’t doubt that. Must be nice to be so strong.

Nick: It is a heavy burden at times.

Sally: Mm-hmm, of course it is.

[ Both chuckle ] I could definitely use some of that strength. I really need to get my life together.

Nick: What do you mean?

Sally: Well, I was just waiting in limbo for so long to, you know, tell adam about the baby. And now that I have, I need to focus on other things in my life, like my career. You know, chloe and I are prepping for a follow-up meeting with jill. Of course, we’re just — you know, it’s more about jill’s schedule right now, unless victor decides to tank us again.

Nick: Don’t you worry about that. I’m planning on using my legendary strength to make sure he stays the hell out of that.

Sally: Well, thank you.

Nick: It would be nice to lock in a contract with chancellor-winters, though.

Sally: Oh, yeah. They would be a huge client. I mean, they have tons of offices and restaurants and hotels, all kinds of properties that could use interior design. And I really actually want to tour some of them so I could start to have an idea about, like, the function, the colors, the textures. That way, chloe and I have specific recommendations we can give to jill and impress her all over again.

Nick: That’s excellent thinking. Where are all these properties? And would you like to use the newman jet to get to them?

Sally: [ Laughs ] Yeah, I’m sure that would go over really big with victoria.

Nick: I’m the coo. I can reserve the jet whenever the hell I want.

Sally: Well, that is very generous of you. I really appreciate the gesture. But no thank you. We are gonna fly commercial.

Nick: Are you sure?

Sally: Yeah. I mean, our research has absolutely nothing to do with newman, so we’re not entitled to the newman perks, and that includes riding on a fancy corporate jet, especially from you. I mean, our… we’re not in that stage of our relationship yet.

Nick: Fair enough.

Adam: Uh, hope I’m not interrupting.

Sally: Uh, adam, we were actually having a private conversation.

Adam: Ah, okay. Well, this will just take a few minutes of your time. Um, I have not been able to stop thinking about the baby, and i have a proposition for you, one that I hope you will seriously consider.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] I’m gonna get out of here.

Chelsea: Well, it was sweet of you to stop by.

Chloe: Well, please do not leave on my account.

Billy: No, no, it’s okay. I don’t want to overstay my welcome.

Chelsea: You could never overstay your welcome. But since chloe’s here…

Billy: I got errands to do. I’m gonna pop downstairs, grab a coffee, and then go do what I need to do.

Chelsea: Oh.

Billy: Good to see you.

Chloe: You too.

Billy: You’re amazing. I’ll, uh — I’ll be in touch.

Chelsea: Okay.

Billy: Okay.

[ Sighs ]

Sally: Well, what exactly are you suggesting?

Adam: Um, look, I just want to make things as easy as I can for you.

Sally: In what sense?

Adam: Look [Sighs] It’s important that you and our child are settled and you’re comfortable from the very beginning, so… I would like to buy you a house.

Sally: A house?

Adam: Yeah. I mean, you weren’t planning on staying in this hotel forever, were you?

Sally: Well, no. I mean, obviously, I would like more room. I just haven’t gotten around to, you know, beginning the process, calling realtors, looking at properties.

Adam: Yeah, yeah, I mean, i understand it’s the beginning stages. Feels like you have all the time in the world, but, you know, time is gonna start flying by before you know it. I mean, doesn’t it make sense to find a house and move in and get ready before the baby arrives? I mean, you could use your design skills to put your own stamp on it.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Adam —

Adam: Please let me do this for you. I know your folks moved around a lot when you were a kid and they never gave you a place to call home. But you and our child — you can have a nursery to read bedtime stories. You can have a yard to play in, a wall with pictures and happy memories. You know, everything that you dreamed of as a child. I want to help make that happen.

Nikki: Sally is pregnant? Oh, my god. I had no idea.

Summer: Yes, sally is having a baby, but it’s not dad’S. It’s adam’S.

Nikki: [ Gasps ] Hallelujah! No. No, no, this is still a mess.

Summer: It’s what she does best.

Nikki: I have seen nicholas almost every day at the office, and he hasn’t said anything. And I’ll bet victor doesn’t know. He would have said something.

Summer: Um, here’s the thing, grandma. I know that it’s a lot to ask, but could you please not tell grandpa about this? At least, until dad or adam gets a chance to tell him.

Nikki: That he’s having another grandchild? I-I don’t know. I mean, for me to know and not tell him…

Summer: I know. I know. I know. It was really unfair for me to dump all of this on you, but i just — I needed to talk to somebody who would be just as horrified as I am, but the thing is, if grandpa confronts dad about this before he’s ready, it’s gonna cause this huge conflict. And nobody wants that, right?

Nikki: Wow. As rationalizations go, that’s — that’s a bit of a stretch, summer. But…alright. For the sake of the baby. It’s not healthy to have stress during pregnancy.

Summer: Thank you.

Nikki: I wish that nicholas would tell victor already, but he’s probably too embarrassed and upset, doesn’t want to talk about it.

Summer: This is the thing, grandma. He’s not wallowing in self-pity. Dad is actually still seeing sally.

Nikki: They’re not breaking up?

Summer: [ Exhales sharply ] I guess this thing with adam was a one-time occasion and sally doesn’t have any desire to get back together with him.

Nikki: Oh, no, sure. Why should she? She can have nicholas.

Summer: I actually think that I’m the most upset about all of this. And I kind of blew up at sally. I told her how selfish I thought she was being and how she’s using my dad. And then dad came over and told me how wrong I was and how this hasn’t changed his feelings for sally at all.

Nikki: Unbelievable. He is too noble for his own good.

Summer: I know, right? It’s like he can’t see what’s going on, and it kills me.

Nikki: Trust me. I know exactly how you feel.

Summer: I wish that this could all work out for dad. I really do but when I play it out in my head, there’s really only one word that could sum it up.

Nikki: “Disaster.” I mean, how can he think that they can stay together when she is having his brother’s child? And I can only imagine what adam thinks about all of this.

[ Sighs ] If only there were a way that nicholas could walk away now, before it gets more complicated.

Summer: Maybe there is.

…I’m over 45.

Nikki: I would dearly love to get nicholas out of this, but i worry that any kind of maneuver would backfire. I mean, in the past, whenever i told him I had issues with the woman in his life, he just digs in his heels. I mean, if he feels so strongly about sally, in spite of this situation, I think it’s gonna be very hard to change his mind.

Summer: I agree. But what if something in their relationship were to drastically change and he realized that it would be better to end it sooner rather than later?

Nikki: Change how?

Summer: Like if sally fell back in love with adam.

Nikki: Okay. And then what?

Summer: Sally was heartbroken when adam dumped her. I mean, that’s the reason why she glommed on to dad in the first place. And we all know that adam’s not over her. So, maybe deep down, she still cares for him, too.

Nikki: I wouldn’t doubt that.

Summer: So, if I could pull this off, it would be sort of a service to two people who belong together.

Nikki: Oh, my god, yes. I mean, that would be ideal. But there are two obstacles that you need to consider.

Summer: What are they?

Nikki: Whatever lingering feelings sally may have for adam, she has decided to keep him at arm’s length. So that tells me that her walls are up pretty high.

Summer: Walls can be climbed. You just have to have the right tools and motivation. What’s the other one?

Nikki: No one is more charming than your father when he is infatuated with someone. So it’s unlikely that adam would be able to win her heart without a lot of help and a whole lot of luck.

Sally: Adam, your offer is very generous, but… I’m — I’m gonna have to say no.

Adam: Well, I’m sorry to hear that.

Nick: This is what she was worried about, you overstepping.

Adam: Uh, no, I was just trying to provide for my child and his or her mother. It’s what any decent person would do.

Sally: Okay, you know what? You actually are both just thinking a little bit too big today, too grandiose, and worse yet, you’re actually thinking for me.

Nick: No, no, no, sally, that’s not —

Sally: No, hey, look, I don’t hold it against you — really. I know you’re both trying to be supportive, and you’re actually being very sweet in your own way, but I would like to make my own decisions about how I travel and where I live and, you know, everything else in my life. In fact, I actually insist on it, so… anyway, if you guys will excuse me, I-I really have work to do.

Chelsea: Lemon?

Chloe: Um, no.

Chelsea: Sugar?

Chloe: I’m good. Though I do appreciate you being such a gracious host when i clearly interrupted something when I showed up.

Chelsea: What are you talking about?

Chloe: The second I walked in, I picked up on a very strong vibe.

Chelsea: A vibe?

Chloe: Yeah. Between you and billy. You were all flushed. You’ve never been a very big blusher.

Chelsea: What? No, that’s — no. Um, billy and I were excited because we were talking about the new video game idea.

Chloe: Oh, yeah. That’s what got you all flustered.

Chelsea: Chloe! It’s true.

Chloe: You can be honest with me. There’s no judgment. Is there something going on with you and billy?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] I honestly don’t know how to define it. And I don’t know if I want to. There are these feelings that have been growing between us. Strong feelings.

[ Sighs ] And I think it’s taken us both by surprise.

Billy: You know what? Make it a double. Gonna live life dangerously.

Sharon: I’ve heard that about you.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] My secret’s out.

Sharon: I noticed that you came from the direction of chelsea’s place. Is she well?

Billy: She is. She’s very well, actually. She’s working on a new project.

Sharon: Oh, really?

Billy: Have you heard of, uh, what daniel romalotti’s putting together?

Sharon: The gaming platform. Yeah, that sounds really intriguing.

Billy: Yeah, it is. She, uh — she pitched him an idea, and he’s looking into developing it.

Sharon: Oh, wow! Well, that sounds wonderful. I’m sure that’ll give her a boost.

Billy: Yeah, definitely. Among other things.

Sharon: Yeah? Like what? The two of you? Having diabetes can raise a lot of questions.

Summer: Thank you for lunch.

Nikki: Oh, you are so welcome.

Sally: Hello.

Nikki: Well, sally. What a coincidence. Summer was just telling me your big news.

Summer: Oh, but don’t worry. My grandma will keep it in the circle of trust.

Nikki: Oh, yes. For the baby’s sake. Frankly, uh, it was not news that I expected.

Sally: Yeah, I’m sure it wasn’T. I was caught off guard myself.

Nikki: Well, I have so many things to say, but I would have no idea where to begin.

Sally: It’s okay. I have a feeling I know what you’re thinking.

Nikki: Good. That saves us both some time. I have to be leaving. Summer, darling, I will see you later.

Summer: Bye, grandma. Thank you again for meeting me.

Nikki: Of course.

Sally: [ Sighs heavily ]

Summer: Are you, um, on your own?

Sally: Uh, no. I’m meeting chloe in a little bit, but I just thought I’d get some work done.

Summer: Well, hey, um, why don’t I stay and you join me?

Sally: [ Sighs ] Why? So you can go on more about what a tramp and a chaotic mess I am?

Summer: So I can apologize.

Billy: You know, just to be clear, I’m not ignoring the advice you gave me earlier about, you know, what could be potentially developing between chelsea and me. I’m on board. Slow and steady, proceed with caution, all of that. And she’s, you know, talking to her therapist throughout this whole time, so she’s on top of it.

Sharon: Well, I’m relieved to hear that because chelsea needs to navigate this very carefully for herself and for your sake, for connor and johnny and katie.

Billy: I agree. We’re not an island. And if — if we take this relationship to the next level, it’s gonna affect the people we love. And most importantly, we’ve got to make sure that the kids are okay with it.

Sharon: You know, I didn’t mean to sound negative.

Billy: No, no, no, no. I appreciate everything you do for us — really. And I respect your professionalism. I know you only want what’s best for us.

Sharon: I really do. And my opinion doesn’t just come from my training. I’ve been in a similar situation myself. After I had my breakdown, I clung to adam. And what we experienced, the things that he did for me — it created a very intense bond between us. That didn’t mean that we were supposed to be together. But for a while there, the emotional lines were very blurred for me and it was hard to let go of him, even though i knew that was what was best for both of us. So, the last thing that I would want to see happen is for chelsea or you to go through that kind of pain.

Chloe: Billy saved your life. And not like “thanks for the help, you’re a life-saver” kind of way. I mean — I mean he actually saved your life. So I can understand why the two of you have developed some feelings for each other.

Chelsea: Yeah. And he’s been there for me every single day since. An incredible source of comfort. But this isn’t just gratitude. He — he makes me hopeful. He makes me excited about the future. And I feel like I can be myself around him, knowing that whatever I say, he understands.

Chloe: Look, I’m really glad that he can be that person for you. I am, but…you know, you and billy were together years ago.

Chelsea: Mm. We were engaged.

Chloe: Yeah, I know, um… but you were both coming off of tragedies. You know, you — you found each other. You found strength in each other. And things ended badly. And if I could be frank, I think it’s because you didn’t love billy with your entire heart and soul.

Chelsea: You’re right. Back then, I thought adam was the love of my life, and i thought I had lost him forever. I wasn’t over him, not by a long shot.

Chloe: So, as incredible as billy has been with you, I have to ask, as your friend — is it really what you think it is? (Vo) oh look! Glorious progresso soup.

“The young and the restless”

will continue. Not flossing well?

Summer: Look, sally, the last time I saw you, I was really upset and I crossed some lines. What I said to you was cruel and wrong and just plain mean. And I’m sorry.

Sally: Thank you.

Summer: Now that I’ve had time to cool down, I’ve realized that I’ve got to just accept that you’re an important part of my dad’s life. And if that’s the case, then i need to find a way for you and i to get along. And, look, I’m not saying that it’s gonna be easy or that we’re gonna be besties anytime soon, but I have no interest in an ongoing battle that’s just gonna hurt all of us.

Sally: Yeah. I mean, I would love to find a way to, you know, make things work. And since you are extending yourself, I will meet you halfway.

Summer: I appreciate that.

Sally: Look, I-I know that this must have been really jarring for you. And I know that you just want to protect your father.

Summer: I can’t help but want to look out for him. And it brings me to a question that I’ve been wondering about, if you don’t mind me asking.

Sally: Go ahead.

Summer: How is adam taking the news?

Sally: I think he’s excited to be a father again.

Summer: Mm. I figured he would be. But what I meant is, um, how is he handling that you and my dad are gonna stay together? I assume he’s not thrilled.

Sally: That’s a safe assumption.

Summer: He probably feels like he should be the one by your side right now?

Sally: Yeah. Yeah, I-I think that’s what he wants.

Summer: The thing about adam is he can be relentless when he wants something.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Adam: Look, I asked you to stay because we obviously need to find a way to navigate this situation.

Nick: Agreed.

Adam: Mm-hmm. You know, it’s like we get on the same page, we start to understand each other, and then we will clash over something and we end up right back where we started.

Nick: Well, it’s not always my fault, adam.

Adam: Okay. Nor is it mine. Look, it’s frustrating for us, but it’s not good for sally. We don’t want to aggravate her in the condition that she’s in. She won’t stand for it.

Nick: Well, I can’t argue with any of that.

Adam: Okay. Well, the reality is I’m gonna be a part of this baby’s life — and sally’s — and you intend to be just as involved. So, you know, where does that leave us?

Nick: We’re just brothers who don’t agree on much…except we both care for this woman. She shouldn’t have to deal with our issues. So, yeah, we need to come up with some common ground.

Adam: And how do you propose we do that?

Nick: I don’t know. But I know we’re both capable. So, if we both make a good-faith effort, we should be able to come up with something.

Nikki: Thank you both for coming.

Michael: Oh, it was no trouble at all, nikki.

Nikki: Um, there’s tea, if you’d like a cup, or if you’d like something else?

Lauren: Oh, no. Tea is wonderful. Thank you.

Nikki: Help yourself.

Lauren: Thanks, darling. Um, I’m assuming that we’re here to get our assignments for the gala.

Michael: Ah!

Nikki: Well, yes, as vice chair, I will be meeting privately with everyone on the planning committee.

Michael: Oh, I’m gonna enjoy being part of this, seeing how it all comes together instead of just showing up the night of in a tux.

Lauren: You see, my darling, how much fun you’d have if you were retired?

Nikki: Well, I have to say, after all the charity work I’ve done over the years, this particular event really has so much meaning.

Lauren: Mm-hmm. Well, it’s our town’s bicentennial celebration. I mean, 200 years since the founding of genoa city.

Michael: Ah. How time flies.

Nikki: Yes, it does. And the gala is gonna be here before we know it.

Michael: Alright, nikki, we’re at your service. Put us to work.

Lauren: Yep. What is it this year? Do you want marketing, pr, ticket sales, silent auction?

Nikki: Well, I thought you might enjoy a change of pace. I was hoping the two of you could work as a team, handling the catering, signing off on the menu, the signature cocktails, directing the chef and the head of the waitstaff.

Lauren: Oh, this sounds like fun.

Nikki: Yeah, I think it will be.

Michael: I will happily taste every dish, including dessert.

Lauren: And thank goodness i have a staff of tailors who will be taking out his pants afterwards.

Nikki: Ah, good idea. Well, we have been working on quite the guest list.

Lauren: Oh, I don’t think i told you. It’s a masked ball.

Michael: Oh! Elegant mask, formal attire, that kind of look?

Nikki: Exactly.

Lauren: Yes.

Michael: Alright.

Lauren: Oh, my goodness. Do you remember that costume ball we did?

Nikki: Ah!

Lauren: I mean, how many years ago was that?

Nikki: Oh, it’s been a long time, but I remember it like it was yesterday.

Lauren: And katherine was queen of hearts…

Nikki: Oh, yes.

Lauren: …And rex the mad hatter. And I was marie antoinette.

Michael: Ooh la la. Sounds very lavish.

Lauren: Like you wouldn’t believe.

Michael: Who else was there?

Lauren: [ Laughs ] Uh, christine was the blond bombshell.

Nikki: Ohh, yes.

Lauren: And jack, you know, prince charming. Hello? Hello?

Michael: Of course. Of course he was. And victor was…?

Lauren: Roman conqueror.

Nikki: Absolutely.

Michael: Very apropos.

Lauren: Oh, ashley abbott was a stunning scheherazade, and jill made quite a spectacle, arriving as cleopatra with two half-naked, very hot men who proceeded to fan her all night with very large ostrich feathers.

Nikki: I remember. Just know that this year’s event will be more toned down.

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Michael: Aw.

Lauren: Just a little. Just a little. Just a tad.

Nikki: So, michael, while i have you here, I’d love to hear your take on tucker mccall. What’s happening with him and his company?

Michael: Ahh. We were having so much fun reminiscing and party planning.

Nikki: Yes, we were. But now I have some questions about him and his business. So, I’m looking to you for some answers. Hi, I’m jason and I’ve lost 202 pounds on golo.

Sally: Well, all things considered, adam is handling the situation pretty well. You know, he knows we’ll be parents together and that’s it, and pushing for more would alienate me, which would make it difficult to function in our child’s best interest. And neither of us want to be those parents. So, the short answer is, yeah, adam is behaving himself.

Summer: Good. I’m glad to hear that his priorities are in order. But still, it’s got to be hard for you.

Sally: You know, I just have to say that your interest and concern is very different than it was the other day.

Summer: Like I said, i just —

Sally: Yeah, you’re protective of nick. Totally makes sense. But still, it’s just really abrupt. I can’t help wondering if there’s more to your sudden change of heart.

Adam: Boy, I never would have thought that this would be the thing that would force us to be more harmonious.

Nick: Well, this is where we are, adam.

Adam: We have more in common than either one of us is willing to admit. I mean, just the fact that victor is our father, for one. There’s few people on the planet that can appreciate the complexities that go along with that.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Well, that’s true. The way you’ve been talking lately, it makes it seem like you see him in a more positive light.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Uh, it’s taken some time. But, yeah, I think I’m coming around to the idea that he knows me better than I thought. And he might actually want to do right by me. I imagine you’re up to date on newman’s plan to acquire mccall unlimited? And you know if that happens that victor is gonna keep it a separate entity and put me in charge?

Nick: Yeah, I just didn’t know if he had talked to you about it yet.

Adam: Well, assuming that happens and everything goes through, are you okay with that? Or is that gonna be something else that we have to overcome?

Nikki: I want to know whatever you know about victor’s plans to get a hold of mccall. I assume you know about this. At this point, it’s not confidential.

Lauren: Right. I’m up to speed.

Michael: No, I have no updates for you, nikki. There’s been no movement on that front. Tucker has still not agreed to sell to newman.

Nikki: So, it’s not imminent.

Lauren: You don’t want this acquisition to happen?

Nikki: Oh, no, I’m fine with the acquisition. It’s what might happen afterward that I am concerned about. Victor has this plan. He wants to put adam in charge, have him report only to victor, bypassing victoria. I mean, she wants to dismantle his company and fold it into the flagship.

Lauren: Oh. That sounds very tense.

Nikki: Yeah, well, things are volatile enough between adam, victoria, and nicholas on a good day.

Lauren: Say no more.

Nikki: Yeah. Our family has enough to deal with right now. I don’t want to add any more tension. Ugh. Victor and his plans.

Michael: Have you spoken to victor about this?

Nikki: I have voiced my thoughts about adam, to no avail. That’s why I would like you to help me in stopping this.

Chloe: I hope I didn’t upset you. I just — [ Sighs ] You have made such incredible progress. I would hate to see anything derail that.

Chelsea: You didn’t upset me, chloe. You’re being a good friend. You’re asking all the right questions. Trust me — I’ve asked myself the same ones.

Chloe: Okay, good.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Whatever’s going on between billy and me, it’s both exhilarating and terrifying — because I don’t want to mess this up.

Chloe: That’s understandable.

Chelsea: I mean, am I ready for more than friendship? Should I be? I don’t know. I just know that this connection I have with him feels new and different than anything I’ve felt for anybody. And, yes, different than what i felt for billy before.

Chloe: And I’m so glad to hear it.

Chelsea: I’m drawn to him, chloe.

[ Sighs ] It’s a pull that’s hard to ignore..and hard not to act on.

Billy: Thank you for opening up about your past like that. I appreciate it. And I know that was heartfelt. And it’s a good reminder to keep my wits about me, you know where chelsea is concerned.

Sharon: Well, I’m glad that it was helpful.

Billy: But, you know, sharon, our story isn’t yours and adam’s story. You know, we’ve been honest with each other about everything through all of this. And I’m not gonna hurt her. No one’s gonna get hurt here. Whatever chelsea and I have, it just feels right. (Vo) red lobster’s finer points of fun dining: Because I was hoping I could

Michael: I sympathize with your concern for your family, but I do not want to be caught in the middle of this. I’ll be happy to assist victor in any acquisition-related issues, consult on the legal status, but what happens to mcall after that — that’s way above my pay grade.

Nikki: Oh, that’s too bad because I was hoping I could count on you as an ally.

Michael: Well, think of me as switzerland without the chocolate.

Lauren: Do you realize the position you’re putting michael in?

Nikki: Yes, lauren, i understand that. But that doesn’t mean I’m gonna sit back and accept defeat.

Nick: Dad just loves to talk about the acquisition like it’s a done deal, but trust me — it is not.

Adam: Well, victor’s never been accused of having a confidence problem.

Nick: If we manage to snag mccall, I have no problem whatsoever with you off running it somewhere on the side. In fact, I would prefer it if you never came back to newman enterprises.

Adam: Really? I’m stunned.

Nick: Mm-hmm. If you remain autonomous, i believe it will keep conflict to a minimum.

Adam: Look, once again, we’re on the same page. Uh, unfortunately, victoria is not as open to that concept as you are.

Nick: Have you talked to her about it?

Adam: No. I asked dad what her response was, and he said that, uh, he’ll take care of it, which tells me she’s definitely not on board.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] You’re surprised by that?

Adam: No. Just trying to find out how big of a fight I have on my hands.

Nick: Have you ever known vick to back down from a fight? Sure, adam, dad’s got grand plans for you. But vick’s your ultimate roadblock.

Summer: Sally, I’m trying to be a better person here.

Sally: So, you just had this epiphany and decided to embrace it?

Summer: I needed a little push. My dad and I had a long talk, and… growing up, he wasn’t ever the kind of dad that would yell, but when he was upset with me, he would give me this look and i would know that he was disappointed. And I hated that look. And he brought it out, and… it just made me see things from another perspective.

Sally: So, you’re trying to get along with me to not disappoint your father?

Summer: Yeah.

Sally: I can appreciate that.

Summer: Look, while we’re putting all of our cards on the table, I still have reservations about you and my dad.

Sally: ‘Cause you think I’m not good enough for him.

Summer: No. Because I always thought that you and adam are a better match.

Sally: Why? Because you think so little of both of us?

Summer: [ Chuckles ] I mean, maybe in the past i thought that, but even then, i could see how good you two were together. It was like you inspired each other to be your best selves, and, honestly, it made you both a little easier to take. You got into a lot less trouble together than you did apart. And — I don’t know — something about the relationship just seemed to work.

Sally: And you don’t get that same vibe between me and your father?

Summer: I’m not saying that. All I care about is that my dad is happy, and if you can be the woman that does that, fantastic. But I’m not gonna lie to you, sally. The adam factor bothers me. It just feels like you two aren’t done with each other yet. And it’s not just that you seemed good together in the past. It’s that you’re pregnant with his baby and you two were together once and all of these months? What are the odds of that? It’s like the universe is trying to say something. It’s as though you two are… meant to be.

Next week on “the young and the restless”…

Adam: I might actually end up being the ceo of your empire.

Tucker: Over my dead body.

Elena: But tell me — what’s going on with you and victoria?

Jack: I proposed to diane. And, lucky me, she accepted.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You didn’t have to cook for me. And grilled cheese. You went all out. Well, I figured, after last night and this morning, you might be hungry. Mm. Okay, look, I have been told by more than one person that I am not a great listener. And no one told me directly that your husband’s garage had been sold. I just randomly overheard part of a conversation.

[ Sighs ] I had zero context of anything that was being said, so odds are likely that I got it wrong. Let’s start with the basics — like who did you hear discussing brando’s garage? Gladys: What kind of question is that, “is sasha good with me selling the garage?” Gladys, that’s not an answer. I don’t know why you’re so worked up. Okay, let me just make it clear right now that this is not me being worked up. But i can be worked up…

[Whispering] If you don’t give me an answer. Well, this is a surprise. What brings you here? Well, I was hoping to have lunch with one of the owners, and I’m not talking about olivia. You have time for me? Well, I’m going to have to check my calendar. Why, as a matter of fact, I have an opening. You know, I think we’re way overdue for a proper catch-up. I want to hear about all the developments in your life. Oh, I don’t know about that. Careful what you wish for. So, this form states that the pcpd has returned all the items taken from the quartermaine boathouse as evidence in the investigation when ava jerome was attacked near the boathouse. Just need your signature, and, uh, I’ll be out of your hair. Glad to put this behind us once and for all. Thank you for catching the woman who killed brando and so many others. My sympathies for everything your family’s going through. And, uh, for the challenges still to come. Maxie: Ned! It is so perfect that you are the one who answered the door. Come on in, maxie. So, what brings you by? As a matter of fact… you. Carly: Oh, my gosh. We made quite a mess last night.

[ Laughs ] Wow. Yeah. [ Laughs ] I’d say it was worth it. Oh, yes. I can’t believe we’re just now leaving the bedroom. Well, it’s not every day we get the house to ourselves. I feel like we’re kind of obligated to take advantage of that. We are. Yeah. Yeah. Mm, you know what? Hmm? Sooner or later, you’re going to have to clean this up. How ’bout later?

[ Laughs ]

I have to leave soon. Right. Your mystery boss needs evidence against sonny. Michael: Forget about the pikeman update. If — if sonny’s talking to you about his past, you got nothing to worry about. You know, I can make a lot more than grilled cheese sandwiches. Oh, what? Egg salad? Pb and j? That…

[ Chuckles ] …And grilled salmon with grilled asparagus marinated in truffle oil. Oh, so you can cook. And you’re just now telling me this. Why have you been holding out on me? I ate so many mres in afghanistan that I promised myself I’d learn to cook when I got back to the states. Mres — that’s meals ready-to-eat? They’re packaged to withstand rough conditions, exposure to the elements. They’ll keep you fed, but they are not exactly fine dining. Oh, so you can cook now that you discovered truffle oil? Yeah. Adds depth and flavor. I’ll make you grilled asparagus sometime. It’s too cold to grill. But it won’t be this summer. Oh, so… …you think we’ll still be doing this, this summer? The job should be over by then. And I can spend every minute getting closer to you without worrying about sonny. I can’t wait. Me, either. Will I see you later? Count on it. I’ll walk you out. I hope you don’t mind. Maxie told me about your illness. I’m so sorry about everything you’re going through. Especially so soon after the birth of that adorable baby.

[ Chuckles ] Well, that is — that’s very kind of you, mac. Hopefully, there may be some good news on the horizon. I might have a match with a bone marrow donor. That’s terrific. I’ll pray that everything works out. I will take all the prayers I can get. [ Chuckles ] I want as much time with my family as possible. Congratulations on amelia. She’s beautiful. Thank you. Yeah, I think so, too. You know, I might be just a little bit biased.

[ Chuckles ] No, she’s gorgeous. Children are a blessing. Enjoy your time with them. It goes by really fast.

[ Door opens ] Ah. Case in point. Really, I blink one day, and maxie’s all grown up. Oh, moral of the story — don’t blink.

[ Chuckles ] Uh, what are you doing here? I had some police business to finish up. Oh, that’s a good thing, because I have a big announcement for all of you. I ran into your mother-in-law. Gladys? Have you two even met? How — how did you know it was her? I — at some point in the conversation, it came out that her last name was corbin, and she was talking about selling a garage that belonged to her daughter-in-law. So it wasn’t hard to put together. And then what? Look, I-I…

[ Sighs ] I just got the distinct impression that she was trying to sell the garage. I had been afraid that she would sell the garage without consulting me. But I told myself I was just being paranoid. I can’t believe she actually did it. Is there anything I can do? Yes. You can tell me who she was selling the garage to. Last time we talked, you were so eager to sell the garage that you wanted me to convince sasha to get on board. How do I know that you didn’t badger her into taking the offer? Is that really what you think about me? Let me just say this. I know how ms. Wu…operates when she sets her sights on something. And if she is pressuring you, I can help you. But you’ve got to tell me what’s going on. I’m sorry I didn’t stick around last night. Oh, that’s okay. I know that you wanted to see willow. Well, I-I sp-spent the night with sonny, but I am so glad that you decided to stay at my place. You know? It’s just, with all the drama happening at wyndemere… yeah. Even with ryan dead, I — I just don’t feel safe there on that island all by myself. Yeah, anyone in their right mind would need a little break from wyndemere for a while. Yeah. And you don’t even know the whole story. You’re welcome to stay with me as long as you want to. I can only imagine what you’re going through. And sonny mentioned that nikolas threatened to take avery? Th-that — that was just a miscommunication, really. So tell me how — how things went with willow last night. Um, better. Better than I had hoped. You know, she finally opened up to me about the specifics of her health issues. Hey, well, ain’t that something? Well, liesl asked her to do it, and willow’s very grateful to aunt liesl, so she honored her request. But I don’t care. I don’T. I’m climbing the walls wondering what’s happening to her. And maybe this is — this little thaw is a step in the right direction. Yeah, I hope so. And how about sonny? How are things with sonny? Oh, they’re fine. “Fine”? Oh. Is there trouble in paradise? Yes. Only it’s not my paradise. Whose? Carly.

You don’t have to worry about selina wu — or me. You know how much I love my daughter-in-law, and I want to do right by brando. I always have sasha’s best interests at heart. Alright, listen. I got some business to take care of. As for you, you better know what you’re doing. Who owns the garage now? I really don’t want to get any more involved. But I-I-I don’t want to lie to you, either.

[ Sighs ] Like I said, I just overheard part of a conversation. I just — I really think that you need to ask gladys yourself.

[ Exhales sharply ] Oh, I intend to. Cody, I know that you feel bad, but please don’T. I appreciate you being honest with me. At least someone was. The nurses’ ball is back! I wanted to commemorate G.H.’S 60th anniversary and celebrate how much G.H.’S workers have meant to the community. I thought, what better way than the nurses’ ball? That is a great idea, sweetheart. Normally, I’d say maybe we should skip it, the year of lucy’s death. But 60 years of general hospital is too big of an anniversary to ignore. I agree. And since lucy isn’t here to run things, I’m going to attempt to step into her shoes and chair the event. As you can imagine, it’s a big undertaking financially. Which is where you and ned come in. You know what? I have some things I have to take care of, so I will leave you to this. Congratulations again. Thank you. Maxie, whatever you need, you can count on elq and the entire quartermaine family. Thank you, ned. Um, I’m sure things are pretty crazy at elq right now with valentin being gone, also. And, of — of course, you know, aurora media will be at your service. I’m sure drew will be on board, too. Thank you, michael. I really appreciate it, both of you. And I’m going to hold you to it. We really need sponsors for this event. [ Chuckles ] Not to mention, musical acts.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Amelia fusses ] I might be able to help you with that, but I have to deal with this text. What about you, michael? Oh.

[ Scoffs ] No. My — my — my performance days are long gone. So, no, thanks. Maxie: That’s okay. I have a much better plan for you. Alright. Thank you for helping. Yeah. Even though you’re the one that made the mess. Wha– I put the mess on the floor. When the mess was all up here, that was you. Well, I don’t do a lot of baking or cooking, so I don’t see a lot of cleaning up the kitchen in our future. “Our future.” You know, I like the sound of that.

[ Laughs ] Me, too. Look, I’m confident that my plan to get charlotte’s elq shares and step away from the company, that’s going to pacify ned. Well, and ned’s the only person we have to worry about turning us into the sec. So we’re good. So, spill it. What’s the dirt on carly? Well, I haven’t really been able to process it with everything that’s going on with willow and my new grandchild. Nina, just tell me. I could really use the distraction. Okay, okay. Remember when I mentioned to you about drew and carly and how they’re hiding whatever’s going on with them? Yeah, vaguely. I don’t think we went into details, though, did we? Well, I saw them hugging pretty intimately. But more importantly, I heard them say that they couldn’t show how they really feel for each other in public. I wonder why. I sort of, kind of am figuring it out. But it’s — it’s raising more questions than answers.

Well, hey. You the invoice I was looking for earlier? How did this get in here? Comet? You pulling tricks again?

[ Knock on door ] What do you mean, you can’t book spa appointments here? It’s all part of the same business, right? I need a massage! Oh, and why is that, gladys? You stressed out about something? Like deception? Besides ned, the only people that know about us being romantically involved are people that we trust — sonny and olivia and michael and joss. The sec is going to have no reason to look into the timing of our relationship unless — unless ned tips them off. Oh, god. I can’t believe ned. No, you — look, you were an investor at aurora, but the merger never happened. You never actually profited on any of that inside information. This was like six months ago. I think we’re good. I hear you. I do. I just — I just can’t quite wrap my head around being together as a couple out in public. You know, I’ve — I’ve gotten used to the hiding. The majority of the time we’ve spent together has been stolen moments at my house here, so… yeah, but they’ve been pretty great moments. Oh, they’ve been amazing moments. So I say we enjoy these last few days of secrecy before the whole world finds out about us. Oh, believe me, I plan on enjoying. Mm. Oh, hi. Hi, josslyn. Hi. [ Chuckles ] Sorry to interrupt. Not at all. No. I was, uh — I was actually just — just getting ready to go. Yeah. Oh, don’t leave on my account. It seems like you guys were having a good time. I’m going to make sure that we have plenty of good times in our future.

[ Chuckles ] See you. Josslyn: Bye. Hey, I’ll see you? Yeah. Okay. Wow, mom, I haven’t seen you smiling so much in a long time. It seems like you’re really happy with drew. I am. Last night, after I came back from G.H., I overheard sonny and olivia talking. Oh, you were eavesdropping? Nothing good comes from eavesdropping, nina. You should know that. I wasn’t going out and searching for it, ava. I just happened upon the conversation. Can you really call that eavesdropping? Yes, that’s eavesdropping. I mean, what — you’re making a habit of it. Stop. You need to give me a little credit, because guess what? I have all this information now and I haven’t done anything about it. I’m just trying to wrap my head around it. So, what’s the information? Now you want to know. Mm-hmm. Okay. I overheard sonny say that if people knew how long that carly and drew have been seeing each other and what they’ve discussed, there would be serious consequences.

And olivia said that ned was about to turn drew and carly in to the sec. Huh. So… so sonny knows something, and he’s — he’s choosing not to tell you. How does that feel? How’s the cooking, dex? Any new recipes? Uh, not yet, but I have been doing a lot of thinking since we last spoke. I’ve made no secret that I want to advance in your organization, but I understand that my ambition has made me too inclined to act on my own instead of focusing on doing whatever it is that you need me to do, big or small. And I want to fix that mistake. Got it. I told you that I wanted you to be part of the pikeman shipment, and I shut you out, and you probably think that… …I pulled the rug out from under you. You’re the boss running your business how you see fit. And I know that I need to prove that I’m trustworthy. Yeah, you still need to prove yourself. But that’s not why I shut you out. The pikeman deal is a snake pit. It’s the first time I’m working with these people, and I don’t even trust the guy who referred them. So, the less you know, the less I have reason to blame you… …if it goes sideways.

Deception”? I don’t knowwhat you’re talking about. I have the day off work. I’m talking about your lies, gladys. Please tell me that you did not sell brando’s garage. H-how did you hear about that? So it’s true. You actually sold it? Yes, I did. I cannot believe that you would sell my husband’s garage without asking me. Hell, forget about asking. You did not even tell me. How could you do that, gladys? It was time, sasha. You told me that we would hold off until I was ready. You don’t have the final say, sweetheart. What was that? We both know the situation. The court put me in charge for your — oh, forget about the damn court. You and I had an arrangement as family. And the spirit of that arrangement was that you would consult with me. You had no right to sell brando’s garage behind my back. I was just trying to do what is best.

How was that best for me? Well, it’s not all about you! I did it for me! Mac. Uh, what — what brings you here? I had some police business with the quartermaines, and, um, I thought I owed you a visit. I saw that you reached out a few times, and I feel bad for not responding. Y-yeah, I’m sorry. I-I just thought maybe you wanted to talk after what you went through with ryan chamberlain. Uh, but it’s — it’s dumb, because you’re a cop, and you’ve obviously dealt with killing a criminal before. So, sorry if it seemed like I was hounding you. I appreciate it. Really. You know, I, uh — I should’ve called you back, but… yeah, no, hey, I’m not much of a talker, either, especially when it comes to emotional stuff. You know, when — when I have a lot of things on my mind, I tend to just hop on the back of a horse and go for a ride. You ever try it? In my younger days, I spent some time on a ranch in the outback. Why’d you stop riding? Haven’t had much opportunity since I left australia. Well, take it from me. It’s the best way to unwind.

[ Chuckles ] I don’t think I could get this old leg up over a saddle. Something tells me it’s not just like riding a bike. Oh, sure it is. I mean, horses are just like giant bikes with minds of their own.

[ Chuckles ] Ah, those were the days. Riding out into the bush with my friends. The end of the day, we’d head over to the pub and put back a few bludger pale ales. Wait, wait, wait. Hold on. You — you drank bludgers? You’ve heard of them? Uh, okay. A while back, I did a stunt gig with this guy from australia, and that’s all he drank, was bludgers. So I-I developed a taste for them. You’re kidding. I didn’t think anyone in the U.S. Heard of bludger. Uh, yeah. Okay. Alright. Don’t tell mama q, but a few weeks ago, i might have put a case of bludgers on the grocery order. And I still have a couple. You want one? I am off the clock. Aurora media will be at your disposal for the nurses’ ball, and I will make a personal donation, as well. Thank you. But I’m not just here for the money. Don’t get me wrong, I’m taking the donation. But I was hoping you would join the planning committee. You’re kidding, right? I mean, what about brook lynn? I mean, she’s the one with entertainment experience. I’m — right, but you’re a respected figure in the community. You have tons of connections to local businesses because of your work at aurora and elq. Not to mention, both sides of your family have close relationships with the hospital, so you’re just the person I need for this committee. It is a good cause, michael. Oh, yeah, no, it’s a great — it’s a great cause. It really is. It’s just maybe it’s not — uh, look, I’m sorry, maxie. I-I can’T. Not with everything going on right now. It’s not — michael, before you rule it out, I think you should consider it. Ned: Drew. Ned. I should warn you, maxie is in there hustling up support for the nurses’ ball. Oh. [ Chuckles ] Well, I’m happy to hear it’s back on again, though hard to imagine without lucy. But I’m sure maxie’s gonna do a great job. I agree.

[ Sighs ] Hey, ned, um… the family managed to come together for willow and michael’s sake, but, obviously, elq is still the elephant in the room, right? So… I’ve got a proposal to make all this tension a thing of the past. Something’s wrong. Sasha’s not happy. Sasha: Brando was supposed to be my guardian, and he would have never sold something that I treasured… are — are you going to go talk to her? …Without asking me. No. I mean, not right now. I mean, she knows I’m there for her, and if she needs me, she knows where to find me. Okay, well, then, back to carly. Okay. Okay. You know, I’m never thrilled when carly and sonny have an interaction, but I’ve come to terms with the fact that, unfortunately, carly is always going to have a presence in our lives. And despite my feelings towards carly, I can’t really blame sonny for trying to protect her. I mean, she is his ex-wife. Especially from the feds. So, ned — he has some kind of information that could get carly and drew in trouble with the sec. I wonder what that could be. Yeah, I have no idea. I’m not sure. Well, we’re smart. Let’s figure it out. Now, I know that carly and drew wouldn’t keep their relationship quiet to spare anybody’s feelings. No, there’s gotta be a compelling reason that they’re not going public. Could the legal consequences that sonny mentioned actually involve jail time? I’m guessing that fines wouldn’t matter much to someone with quartermaine money. That makes sense. But what I don’t get is the secrecy. Everyone knows that drew and carly, they got close. I mean, the reason that I own half this hotel is because carly was trying to help out drew and michael during that whole, you know, aurora/elq merger. Well, that’s it! What? That’s what? Yes, that — I-I know what carly and drew are so afraid of. Uh, I’m leaving you out of the…pikeman deal because I see that you have potential, and I want to — I want to bring you up in the business, and I want to make sure you do it well. You understand me? I appreciate the faith, but I would think that if you saw potential in me, you would want to test that by giving me more responsibility, not leaving me out. I just need to be careful how I bring you up. Because if the deal goes south, I’ll know you had nothing to do with it. Makes sense. Does not mean… you still can’t help me.

I-I agree that the nurses’ ball is a worthy cause, and under normal circumstances, I would do it in a heartbeat, but… look, with willow’s bone marrow transplant coming up, it’s — right now, we can’t do anything about that except wait. What about the — the wedding? I have the wedding under control, along with help from your mom, your sister, sasha, brook lynn, and olivia. What about the newborn baby? We’re lucky enough to have help. Oh, sounds like you’re out of excuses, michael.

[ Scoffs ] The community really needs this. And so do I. Do it for me?

[ Sighs ]

[ Bottles clink ] Oh, this brings me back. Me, too. Reminds me of simpler times in my life.

[ Exhales sharply ] I don’t know how things got so complicated. I can only imagine how difficult it must be having to take someone’s life in the line of duty.

[ Exhales deeply ] You know, I’ve been a cop for about 30 years. And killing ryan, even though it’s hardly not the first time I’ve had to take a life while on the job, this was different. How so?

[ Grunts ] Oh, man. Ryan chamberlain and I, we’ve had a complicated history. This was a man who terrorized my family for decades because of his obsession with felicia. But he was also the twin brother of my best friend, kevin. He knew how twisted and downright evil ryan could be. I mean, it wasn’t that many years ago when ryan actually managed to switch places with kevin. He had him locked up and drugged up in ferncliff asylum. Ryan pretended to be kevin. Man, this guy sounds pretty — pretty messed up. Yeah, he was. But he was also kevin’s brother. And I don’t think kevin ever really gave up hope that ryan might change one day. But that day will never come, because I killed him. But I — I mean, you did that to save ava jerome and yourself, right? I know that we’re all better off and that the shooting was justified.

[ Sighs ] But? But I killed my best friend’s twin brother. And I know, in some small way, kevin still loved ryan. And I hate that I caused my friend any pain.

[ Chuckles dryly ] None of this is your problem. Hey, hey. I’m not complaining. Besides, you know, sometimes it’s easier to talk about heavy stuff with people you hardly know. Well, I’m glad we’re getting to know each other. Yeah, me, too.

[ Bottles clink ] The truth is… I had every right to sell the garage. Not just as your guardian, but as brando’s mother, who is grieving him. I’m grieving him, too. I know that, honey. And I’m sorry for the tough time you’ve had. But this guardianship has protected you in ways you don’t even know. What is that supposed to mean? You have no idea what it’s like managing all these finances, getting bills every single month for the garage, each one with brando’s name on it. And then there’s when the chamber of commerce calls the office phone, asks for mr. Corbin.

[ Voice breaking ] I get faced with daily reminders that brando isn’t here with us anymore.

[ Sniffles, sighs ] I had no idea. Why didn’t you tell me any of this? Because, honey, my — my job is literally to protect you as your guardian. You lost your husband. I lost my son. Been hard on me, too. So, I needed to get rid of the garage for many reasons, but not the least of which is getting on with my life. I’m sorry if that makes you hate me. It’s just a chance I had to take.

[ Sighs ] Valentin’s death opens the possibility to get elq back in quartermaine control. Well, technically, it is in quartermaine control now. You are currently the ceo, but this is an opportunity for the family to regain majority ownership of the company. Valentin’s stock went to charlotte, which means that laura controls it. I’m sure that we can — we can negotiate to reacquire that stock that valentin poached from us. So you and michael can ice me out again? No. Ned, look. Valentin drove a wedge between us. But he’s gone. Okay, the way I see it, this is a chance for us to start over. So, in the interest of putting the family back together, I am willing to step away from elq entirely. Well, I honestly wasn’t expecting that. I will run aurora full time. I’m okay with that. The most important thing is — is making this family a united front again. I mean, think about it. Last summer, we were at each other’s throats, and then we all came together for willow, and it reminded me how right it feels for us all to be on the same team. And I know that we’re quartermaines, and I know that we’re going to bicker and we’re going to backstab, but at the end of the day, when it matters, we band together. So, come on, we’ve gotta do whatever — whatever we have to, to make this family whole again, and a big part of that is to get elq back. So what do you say, ned? Carly invested in aurora when the plan was to merge that company with elq, right? Right, to get elq back under the quartermaines’ control. It was drew and michael’s plan, and when carly tried to help them, she invested heavily, and when the merger didn’t happen, she lost it all. But if carly bought aurora stock knowing there was a merger on the horizon, isn’t that insider trading? And she and drew could both be open to prosecution if anybody finds out. That’s right. That’s why they have to keep their relationship at a distance. Because anyone investigating, they don’t want to have them suspect that they’d discuss these sensitive business matters. Otherwise, they’re facing jail time. Anything you need, I’m good for it. I want to take you to the warehouse where the pikeman shipment’s going to be stored. I’m not going to tell you when it’s going to land, because the date’s been changed. Uh, then why take me to the warehouse? Because I want your assessment of the place. I want to see how good you identify vulnerabilities. Think of it as training.

[ Sighs ] Well, I’m sorry for crashing your time with drew. Are you kidding? Don’t apologize. This is your home. I’m always happy to see you. I know, but you guys don’t get to spend a ton of time together since you have to keep things on the down low. Yeah, well, that may be changing, so… really? Mm-hmm. Oh, my god, I’m so happy to hear that. Well, I mean, it’s still in the works, but I’m cautiously optimistic. Well, I hope it works out. You know, you deserve to be able to go out and show the world how happy drew makes you. Yeah. So do you. Being in a secret relationship’s a lot of fun, but it comes with baggage, josslyn. And we’re back to dex. Yeah, we’re back to dex. ‘Cause I’m your mom and I’m always going to want to protect you and stop you from getting hurt. I mean, forget about what sonny would do if he finds out that you’ve been seeing dex behind his back. But you grew up in that world. You saw me deal with it every day. Are you sure you want that for yourself? Dex is planning on getting out of sonny’s organization. Seriously, josslyn? You’re going to hang your future on a vague promise? Dex: Option three… I get evidence against sonny. I turn it over to my real boss, who turns it over to the feds. Sonny goes to prison. I’m in the clear. Option three it is. Option three. No matter what happens… I can’t walk away from you. Good. I don’t want you to. It’s not like that. Dex has a real plan. Okay. Like what?

You bring up some good points. It’s a win-win for you, ned. We regain valentin’s stock and I extract myself from elq. Well, you’ve given me a lot to think about. Michael, if you help plan the nurses’ ball, it will give us something to look forward to. We won’t just be focusing on waiting for the transplant. We’ll have something positive to pour our energy into, something that benefits us, G.H., And the entire city.

[ Exhales deeply ] Well, how can I say no to that? Awesome. Thank you. Our first meeting is tomorrow, and I will call you tonight to go over all the details. Got it.

[ Door closes ]

[ Chuckles ] Alright. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You know what? You’re my world, willow. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for you. So, what do you say? You up for another one? No reason not to. Cody, I, uh… think you dropped something. I don’t hate you, gladys.

[ Exhales deeply ] Thank you. But I don’t like that you went behind my back. Understood. I get where you were coming from. And you’re probably right. Left to my own devices, I probably would have never parted ways with the garage. I couldn’t bear it. Well, just so you know, it wasn’t easy for me, either. Well, I guess that, maybe in a not-so-good way, it worked out for the best. Instead of hanging over us, the garage is gone, and we’re forced to move forward. I can see why my son fell for you. I miss him. Honey, I do, too.

[ Crying ] Oh. Oh! Your theory is good, ava. It is. But that’s all it is — a theory. Mm-hmm. Theory that could turn the tables. Here, now, you have important information about carly, just like she had important information about you. The question is, what are you gonna do with it? Look, you and drew are working on finding a way that you can be together out in the open. Dex and i want that, too. And I know that dex is gonna get out of the mob for good. Well… I know you believe that. And I think dex probably believes that he can leave that world. But take it from someone who has been very close to it most of my life. Once you’re in, josslyn, it’s really hard to leave. But it is possible. It is, but the way out is usually death. It’s isolated, which is good. Less chance someone notices the shipment whenever it arrives. It’d be a good idea to put cameras up outside, monitor anyone approaching. I-I got somebody on that. How many points of entry? Sonny! Get down!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Hi. Oh, hello there. Martini or Gin Atomic. Oh, after the day? I’ve had both, but not yet. Unfortunately, our workday is not finished. It’s not. Now, I think specifically you may have a problem. What happened? Well, I ran into Johnny at the park today and I overheard him talking to Wendy and I don’t know how they figured it out, but they suspect that you are the one that is trucking.

Stephan?

Yeah. Thanks for calling Dad. Yeah, it’s, uh, being back here without Kayla. It feels wrong and sad, you know? Yeah. I just really wanna do my best to live up to the Sanders that she set.

Yeah. Yeah. First day’s going. Okay. So far. Uh, I got my new ID badge and drained, uh, my first ABSs in the er. It’s like I, it’s like I never left.

Thanks. I love you too, Johnny. Hey, are you, are you okay? Oh, yeah, yeah, I’m fine. Um, actually, I was uh, here to see you.

That’s right. I wanna talk to you about Bella. Well, it’s just that Auntie Mag and I aren’t really seeing eye to eye on its future, and since Bella’s been my baby for the past six months now, I was hoping that maybe you would consider my input before making any major decisions. Do you want to talk about us?

Well, I thought that was the last thing you’d want to talk about, given the way you rushed out of it just a little while. And I was wrong, cowardly. Well, in all fairness to you, Oh, I kissed you impulsively. Um, I could see how very thrown you were and I, I honestly, I just, I got really caught up over the sales and numbers.

You don’t have to explain Glenn, and you don’t have to apologize, but I do need to explain my, my reaction at least, and apologize for it. Yes, I can. No, there isn’t. Okay. Please just let me speak. When I found out that my divorce papers had been lost, I dunno. I thought maybe that was fate telling me that there was still hope for me and Sarah.

Yes, Sarah assigned the papers and she left town, right, and I know it’s naive to keep holding out hope, but naive or not, it is what I am doing, which is why I, I can’t even consider a romantic relationship with you until I know for sure that my divorce is. And if that’s not okay with you, I do understand

like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

What are you doing here, father? Checking up on your wayward offspring? Well, without much luck lately, but I went to the Salem in to see Lee and he told me he is living here now. He is. Ian Gabby moved in yesterday, he and Gabby. So your brother is celebrating by that ridiculous contract with a woman who doesn’t love him.

Yeah. You know, I suggest you take that up with him, but, uh, he’s not home right now. Is someone actually sleeping on a sofa? I mean, don’t you have enough bedrooms for the three of you? Uh, we do have enough rooms for me, Lee and Gabby, but, uh, there’s four of us here. Now that my friend trip has moved in,

Wendy told me you were working here again. Uh, yeah, I am. And uh, look, this is about Wendy. You’ve got nothing to worry about, man. We’re just friends and roommates. There’s nothing romantic going on between us. Oh, I. . Yeah, Wendy told me, um, and I trust her. So anyway, I’m not even here about Wendy. I’m actually here about my dad.

But I spoke to Johnny and Wendy earlier. I could have sworn they believed me. Oh, by the time I got to them, they were questioning if Stefan was using drugs. And they’ve suggested that you might be the one jacking Stephan. But how did they figure it out? Well, I, I don’t think they. I think it was just conjecture.

Ah, damn. So what did you do? Uh, how did you react? Light my ass off. Of course, I totally vouched for your innocence. I even told them that I was there when the investigator told you that S’S fingerprints were on the vial. Good. Good. Did they buy it? They seem to, I hope they. Oh, if Johnny knew the truth, then he could ruin everything.

Uh, is your father all right? Oh, yeah. Yeah. No, he’s, he’s. He’s fine. He did though, um, get some tests taken the other day for some demer business. I just wonder if I could get a copy of the results. Nah, I’m afraid I can’t help you there. Uh, HIPAA rules. I’d still need written authorization from your father,

Well, yeah, but my dad sent me here to get the results form to save him time. So now you’re telling me I gotta go all the way back home, get him to sign some paper and then come all the way back here to get ’em. Come on. Sorry Johnny. I don’t make the. And I really prefer not to break any on my first date back here.

You’re living with a boy, a man, a doctor, a friend. So he’s living here with you, but he’s not a boyfriend. No, he’s not. I’m seeing Johnny Damara, actually. Johnny Damara now. Why didn’t I know that? It’s not like I was hiding anything. Johnny and I have been friends for a while and uh, we just started casually dating.

I, I know, I know. He’s not a doctor or a lawyer. He is not Chinese. No, I don’t care anything about that. You don’t, your brother turned his whole world upside down for Gabby Hernandez. He lost his job. He gave away his shares of stock and he’s gonna lose his marriage eventually. But you, you are cementing our family’s legacy at this company by being involved with the air for the Damara enterprise.

Well, don’t you win . I’m so very proud of you. Why are Johnny and Mundi so determined to investigate any little irregularity they stumble across? I clearly spent too much time reading Hardi Boy’s Mysteries to Johnny while he was young. . Great. Well now you have to figure out a way to assure him that there’s no mystery here to think my very own son would accuse me of, of doing exactly what you’re doing.

Look, it’s, it’s cuz he loves you and he’s worried about you. That’s all he’s worried about. My brother. Hmm. Little does he know what his beloved Uncle Stephan is willing to do to me. He actually drugged my water at the office earlier. Bastard. Yes. Luckily I was able to switch the bottles. , and you did that without my help.

Good job. So how did it affect him? I’m not too sure. He skipped out of there early, just like he did yesterday to see Gabby. This is the second wasted opportunity for him to make a fool of himself at Tamir.

Ah, good Miss.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Stephan, did you get a head start on your cocktail somewhere else? No. No. I just, I got a. Hi, Kevin. Okay. Why don’t you sit down, Stephan. I’ll get you some water.

Thanks. Mm-hmm. . Wow. I don’t, I don’t know why I’m feeling so out of it. It makes sense to me. You were held hostage for days while Rove, zapped and repped your brain. No surprises here Experiencing. After the fact. Yeah, I, I’m sure that’s it. Or maybe there’s a flu going around. I’ve been feeling peaked on and off myself, but I certainly can’t attribute it to having been brainwashed.

Right. Oh, that is strange. I, Ugh. Oh man. I’m gonna go upstairs, splash some cold water on my face and lay down. Leave it up. Yes. Feel best. Yeah.

It seems the drug is having its intended effect. Maybe there’s a flu going around. What is that all about? Well, if I had to play along, obviously otherwise he might suspect, oh no, my head is spinning. How long is this gonna go on? As long as it. Well, you know, if no one at Damira sees him like this, then it’s all for nothing.

Nicole, you have just given me a Scathingly. Brilliant idea.

You’re welcome. Thank you Uncle Vic. No, you know what? I knew you would end up seeing things my way. Alright, take care.

Is it possible that I didn’t be clear that that chair is no longer your domain? Uh, sorry again, please. I went downstairs to, uh, break the news to the Bella staff, and I’m terminating the magazine. Well, I wish you had told me, but, oh, well, listen, I thought that since I was gonna lower the boom, it was my decision.

But you know what? It seems that someone has been allowing the staff to keep banker’s hours cuz they were gone. So I guess I’m just gonna have to tell ’em tomorrow. Hmm. Sounds a good plan. I’m glad you approved.

Look, Alice, I know you didn’t agree with my decision, but it was my decision, so I hope you respect that. Of course. I’m the ex c o, the only person with authority over you. Now it’s Uncle Vic

Hello. Hello, Victor. What can I do for you?

You think that there might still be a chance for us? Of course. I’m willing to.

I love you Zander. If you need to know that your, your marriage is over before you can move on.

Vir Zandy, I have acquired some very exciting news. It’s about you, me. Ooh, whatever it is. I’m sure. I don’t want it in Lady whistleblowers calling. Oh, don’t worry. Lady W can be very discreet when necessary. Right. So you suggest some news? I do indeed. I was sniffing around for dirt at the county clerk’s office and wallah, what’s this?

It’s your final divorce decree.

Wait, how did you get this in so quickly? Well, I was sweet talking Jimmy in records. Reminded him how he screwed up royally when he lost the decree the first time. Turns out he didn’t want to be in my column, so he agreed to expedite the executed paperwork from what he just gave it to you. Are you doubting my charms?

Okay, fine. He knows you’re my boss and I told him how eager you are to move on with your life. And now Sir Xander of Cook, you most certainly can.

Dunno what to say. I believe the words you’re looking for are, thank you, lady Whistleblower from the bottom of my heart. Yes, of course. Thank you. And now that you’re finally free of that Sanctimonious, judgey Mc Judson, mayor of Judge Town, we can finally celebrate.

Okay, look, I know Sarah Pacer rejected you and it still hurts, but I wanna remind you that she ended your marriage because in great that she is, she didn’t appreciate that every action you took was done so that you could support her in the manner to which she was accustomed. And how does she repay you?

By ratting you out to Bonnie and Justin and dumping your incredibly finance. Meanwhile, g Guinevere over here puts her own cute little ass on the line for you. She goes so far as to sacrifice her relationship with her father to take you aside when there was nothing in it for her. That’s how much she cares for you.

Okay? Netty, you don’t, you don’t need to. I, I, yes, I know I don’t need to sell you to him. You’ve already sold yourself. I’m not in the literal sense of. What I meant to say, Mr. Sandman, who rhymes with Sandman, but you do not put anyone to sleep. In fact, you are a stimulating and fascinating person in my book, but there is nobody in your life who ever has been or ever will be so loyal and so dedicated to you as Madam Mazzeo Guinevere of Riz Check.

And not that it’s any of my business, but if it were, I would already have a ring on this fine woman’s finger.

Yes, Victor. Thank you for calling and I, I really appreciate your input on this. Yeah, you too.

Um, he wanted to talk to me about Bella really. What’d he say

That he fully supports my decision to shut up the magazine? Does he? You know, I was so curious as to one, how he knew about my decision since I just made it today, and you are the only one I discussed it with.

So what you, you think I said something to him? I know you did. Because Victor told me. So

tell your dad if he wants the results of his test, he’s gonna have to come and get them himself. I hope you understand. Yeah, right. Um, of course. Yeah. Uh, and I actually need to go. I’m don’t wanna leave you around. See it though. Yeah, sure. Thanks. Thanks for nothing. Damnit. How am I gonna figure out if my dad’s lying?

I don’t think I heard him. Right. Did you just say you approve of something I’m doing? Oh, very much so. Okay. What if I told you that I don’t? Johnny’s the Dera. He, you don’t have to care. I do. Tony doesn’t even want to follow in his father’s footsteps. He wants to make movies and he’s good at it. Well, he can pick daisies for all I care.

He is still a dememer and will still be the heir apparent. And the more time you spend with the Demaris, the stronger our position will be. And Jess, when. Scathingly. Brilliant idea. Away. Shin is in town for a meeting. No shin. Mm-hmm. . I think I see where you’re going with this because you are as brilliant as you are.

Give him a call.

Hello, Mr. Shin, AJ Dira, how are you going? I’m fine. What can I do for you? I was just thinking it’s been a long time since we’ve broken bread. How would you like to stop by the mansion and dine with your co CEOs? Well, that sounds lovely. When do you have in mind? Well, if you don’t have any plans tonight, whenever you can get here.

Well, I’m vanished. Didn’t, uh, well my daughter’s out that much of a cook,

I’ll be there immediately. Excellent

way. Shin is on his way. And now all we have to do is wait for the.

Oh, uh, Mr. Shin. Hey. Hello. Hello, Johnny. Good to see you. Jim Wynn has been saying some very nice things about. . Really? Mm-hmm. . Oh, that’s, uh, that’s good to hear. What? I’m going to give you two some privacy, so have a good night. Hey, I hope I didn’t chase him off. Believe me. You didn’t. What’s up? I was wondering if, if you had a minute to take a look at something.

Yes, sure. I, uh, I was able to get into the lab and I got a copy of those test results my dad had ordered on that drug that I found, and I. Have no idea what I’m looking for. How did you get this? I have my ways. Okay. Well, I am an expert in cyber, not Ken. Mm-hmm. . Let’s cross source this puppy. Oh, well I already did a web search, so did you try the dark web?

No, no. I, I guess I should have.

Okay. I got a hit. Oh, what? Uh, your dad said this was some kind of recreational street drug. Yeah, well, I think if your Uncle Stephan wanted to get high, he probably wouldn’t use a rare medical grade tr that not only induces euphoria, but also has a host of nasty side effects. So what you’re saying, my dad lied to me.

I’m sorry. I think so.

This is perfect. And when Stephan tries to drug me at dinner, you will turn the tables on him. Right. And he will make a fool of himself in front of none other then way shin. Mm-hmm. the best person to witness his foolishness. Exactly. And given Mr. Shin’s notoriously thin patience, my brother could be on the unemployment line by tomorrow.

Yeah, I hope so. But ooh, do you really wanna do this under shin’s nose? I mean, there’s more people to, to witness you switching the drinks, and it’s a risk unwilling to take besides if the truth ever does come out. I haven’t drugged anyone. It’s all on Steph and my, my hands are clean.

Auntie Maggie, don’t you, aunt Maggie? Me, according to Victor, you told him I didn’t have enough experience to make an informed decision. Whoa. I I, I didn’t say that. Not in so many words. Well, then what did you mean by calling him and giving him a heads up that your incompetent wife was about to make a big mistake?

Oh, I definitely didn’t say that. No, but you went on and on to him about how I was cav literally shutting down this magazine. That he named after his beloved daughter. Nice use of pathos. I’ll give you that. Did you seriously think that DIB would overrule me? That he would side with you over his own life?

That he wouldn’t tell me that you went behind my back, auntie. I’m sorry. And believe me, I know my place around here. It’s just that I passionately believe in the magazine. I felt like it was worth fighting for. It’s nothing personal. Nothing personal. I have, I have reminded you twice today that that chair no longer belongs to you.

I am your boss, Alex. I am the C of this company. I know, and I respect that. Do you, because your behavior says otherwise. Now if you can’t accept the fact that I now have the job that you think you’re entitled to, well then you know you are free to resign. Now

let me fix my work here is done. I will leave you two love birds alone. Go bend Jimmy’s ear some more. Maybe a few other choice Body parts Chowk.

Um, I’m sorry he put you on the spot like that. Please know that I, I did not put him up to my, I I know you, I know you didn’t. Grandma we’ll say he did have a few valid points though. I agree. And you did for everything on the line for me. You sacrificed your own happiness to try to make things work for Sarah and me, and you’re so very grateful for that g.

I can never thank you enough, but, um, I thought with time maybe things would become clearer and I know I promised you a decision when my divorce came through, and

the truth is

I still love Sarah. I dunno if I’m ever gonna get over her. And you deserve someone who’s gonna love you with their whole heart.

I’m sorry, I just, I think the of us can be

not right.

Damn it. And I, I was worried enough when I thought my dad or my uncle might have a drug problem. But if my dad is the one giving the drugs to my uncle just to get ahead in business, I mean, I know, I know they don’t have the best relationship and back stabbing is kind of the dememer way. But after everything Stefan’s been through, who knows what that could do to him.

And if my dad were to get caught, I mean, okay, take a deep breath, Johnny. We still don’t know what’s really going on here. Nicole said that the investigator found Stephan’s fingerprints on that file. Yeah, we don’t know that for sure. Now. I mean, she’s, she’s sleeping with my dad. She’d lie for him in a heartbeat.

Oh my God. What? Your dad called my dad and invited him over to dinner. Okay. Let’s say all of this is true. Could he be planning to drug Stephan and then get him to make a total fool of himself in front of my.

Yeah, I bet that’s exactly the plan. Look, I, I, I’m not just gonna sit here and do nothing about it. Okay.

Johnny, my man. Okay. Paa Uncle Stephan. Uh, I, uh, I really hate to tell you this, but I think somebody might be drugging you,

Mr. Shannon. Of course. You know the lovely Nicole Walker, how you do Indeed. She is doing a super job at Basic Black. Thank you so much. But I understand that your co c e o was arrested for kid. Yes, but we expect all the charges against Brady to be dropped. But in the meantime, we’re fully cooperating with police.

We don’t want to have any scandals on our watch

on that subject. I, I have to confide. I’m rather worried about my brother. I’m not sure what Dr. Wolf put him through, but I’m afraid it may have taken its toll on his physical and mental health. He doesn’t seem to be himself lately Really. I haven’t heard any word about Stephan’s behavior at work, but I’ve heard plenty about yours.

I’m sorry. I how you understand.

You know what, and uh, I don’t.

I mean, sure when there’s blackmail to be done or your dead body to hide or claps are closing in, you have no problem calling on good old friend Gwen.

Have a romp around in the hay to thank me,

but I am never the person you would take home to meet your mother. Am I my mother’s dad? To me she is. The point is you see me as some sort of a fearless bad girl. Don’t you have a couple of laughs with, and I help you out with your schemes, but you will never actually commit to me. I was gonna marry you until you drugged Sarah.

You killed Susan Banks. You killed Laura Horter. That was an accident. Was it? The point is, is that you are no better than me, Zander, and you never will be. And you put Sarah up on this pedestal because you think I will never measure up. Isn’t that right?

Listen, then what you think?

Maybe like, that’s my thing. Good God.

Johnny, who do you think is drugging me and why? Look, I, I can’t get into all the details right now. Okay. All I can tell you is just be careful what you eat and drink. All right. Especially tonight. Okay. I need more information. That’s all I got for you right now. Just, just, uh, please take care. Okay?

I hope I did the right thing.

It seems to me that you’re more of a danger to the company after that debacle of the press conference. My portfolio is still recovering. My sincere apologies, Mr. Shin. Look, I’m not one to make excuses, but I had a terrible flu then, but I’m fine now. My brother, however, I’m afraid he may have permanent brain damage as a result of what he’s been put through.

Oh, and you invited me over so I could see for myself. I invited you here as our guest. , but I do think you’ll be concerned about what you witnessed.

I am here today with em Winter Mike Manning, who plays Caleb on the Bay. Part of the season is set in Puerto Rico. Did you have fun filming in Port Rico? Well, I knew he was town love filming in Puerto Rico. Hi, how are you feeling, Stephen? Much better. Thank you. Mr. Shin, has anybody offered to make you drink?

No, not yet. I’ll make a round for all of us. Mm-hmm. . Oh, Mr. Schmit is so great that you came over for dinner.

I know the business world is full of back biting and in fighting, and it’s especially distressing when family members do it to each other, which is why the Titan c e o, Merry-go-round ends. With me, so if you can’t deal with it, I can deal with it Auntie, believe me. If I’m not quitting, I’m sorry that we got off to this rocky start.

Truly, that’s just that I am proud of the work that we did at Bella, and now I have developed these personal connections with a lot of the employees and, okay, well if you feel that strongly about it,

well then baby, you should be the one to go and break the news to them. But you want me to fire the staff, but in the meantime, I want you to bring me all the accounts that you are in charge of. I’d like to review them for all of them, every single one. And Alex, if you ever go behind my back again to Victor, I will fire you.

And the next time I won’t be joking.

You’re brutally honest with me. Now, I’m gonna be brutally honest with you.

Have you an idiot? Told out hope for us. You’re an idiot, Quinn. You’re wickedly smart and so beautiful and sensitive enough. Do not patronize. Please.

I don’t wanna be your friend.

I don’t wanna be your business partner. In fact, I don’t even know how I’m gonna bloody come into work every day and have to look at your face when all I want, all I want, Sandra, is just to claw your bloody eyes out right now.

Because where are you meant to leave me on or not? That is, that is what you did. I’m sorry. Handle things very poorly. I know that and I know I have to fix it. I have to make things easier for you because I’ve obviously hurt you very badly. I

look, this is, uh, This is your dad’s paper. You should be the one to run it. Yes, I know. You’ll do a bang up job without me, so, um,

goodbye. Bye.

I thought that follow up interview was tomorrow. Yeah, I, uh, I just came by to let you know that somebody else might be handling it. Oh, why is that? Well, I took your advice about having a candid conversation with Gwen about our future from the expression on your face. Take it. It didn’t go well. No, it did not.

In fact, don’t think it could have gone any worse.

Hi, can I get a refill please with the bloody alcohol at this time? Would you bad day washed? Join a club.

How did your uncle take the news? Uh, well, I mean, he wanted to know more obviously, but I couldn’t just out my own father. I wonder if he’s gonna think it’s your father anyway. Yeah, I don’t know. I mean, it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch, I guess it’s inevitable now I’m gonna have to confront my father.

I mean, you can’t just do something that underhanded and expect to get.

You know, like what you just did to me.

Here’s. Mr. Shin. Careful Mr. Shin. My brother has a very heavy hand with the V. Well, I have a strong hair. No worries. Oh, step in. You forgot the olives, so I did.

Well, we must be fresh out. Really. I know. I saw them earlier. Yeah. I’m so glad you were able to join us, Mr. Shin. I’m very glad to be here. Yeah. And I know that Shep is making beef Wellington, so I hope it’s to your liking. Oh, sounds wonderful. Yeah. Ah, hit it down, huh? Ah, don’t know how I missed him. Ah, that’s all I, I’m sure he was just feeling a little bit off still.

Oh no. That nap did me just right. I’d like to propose a toast to the future of DiMera Enterprises. Here. Here, you’re here.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Relaxing music ]

Brooke: So, did you talk to liam about the possibility of thomas working here again?

Hope: And I knew he wouldn’t be thrilled but…

Brooke: I’m guessing he was very much against it.

Liam: Please, please do not hire him at hope for the future. Please do not give him that opening in your life, please.

Hope: Yeah, I– I don’t blame him. I mean he– he’s right. I’ve trusted thomas before and look at where it’s gotten me.

Brooke: Did you land on a decision?

Hope: Okay, fine.

All right, I’ll tell him no.

Liam: Oh, my god, my god,

thank you.

[ Knock on door ]

Taylor: Hey, good morning, I left my tablet here last night. Am I interrupting?

Brooke: Uh no, actually I’m glad that you’re here. Hope was about to tell me if she’s decided or not.

Taylor: Have you decided? Is thomas going to come back and work for hope for the future?

Liam: So, did dad actually say that like in those words he doesn’t care about the amount, just get the deal done?

Wyatt: Yeah. Yeah and he’ll sign off on it, no questions asked, he’s gonna let me handle the whole thing, which is fine.

Liam: I’ve just never seen him so uninvolved in his own business.

Wyatt: Exactly. We’ve also never seen him involved with a homicidal maniac before. There’s that. He’s a changed man. What? You disagree?

Liam: No, no I don’t disagree, it’s just… I’ve been hearing that phrase a lot lately. A changed man, a changed man. Like really? Does anybody ever really change, like?

Wyatt: One would hope. Something tells me we’re not talking about dad anymore. What’s going on with you?

Liam: You got me. Um, all right I’ll give you a clue. It starts with a t and ends with ass.

Paris: I thought I’d see you at the office today. Everyone’s talking about it.

Thomas: Talking about what?

Paris: Hope for the future and how it’s in serious trouble and that a certain designer ought to be working on it again. Is that why you’re here, thomas? Are you back to save the day?

Thomas: Well, paris, I would love the opportunity, but it’s all up to hope.

Paris: Hope should be begging you to come back.

Thomas: She wouldn’t have to beg, I’d gladly do it.

Paris: Well, honestly, the line hasn’t been the same without you, but it’s not like you haven’t been putting in the work. Personally, I mean, you’ve been going to therapy and all that stuff’s rough, but you’re doing it. You’re making amends, you’re improving yourself.

Thomas: I appreciate you noticing.

Paris: Of course, it’s obvious you’ve changed. I see it and hope should see it too. But even if she does see it, there’s still an unfortunate problem. There’s still one person who may not ever accept the fact that you’ve changed, whose opinion she can’t ignore, liam.

Wyatt: What does thomas have to do with anything, all right? I thought he got booted from– from forrester?

Liam: He did.

Wyatt: Okay, so then hope doesn’t have to see his stupid face around the office anymore, right?

Liam: Well, apparently thomas has the magic touch when it comes to hope for the future and singularly determines whether or not the line is successful or can exist.

Wyatt: Hold– hold on, hold on. So, thomas is working on hope’s line again?

Liam: Thankfully, no, not anymore.

Hope: I’ve made a decision. Yes, it wasn’t easy, but after talking with liam.

Taylor: Liam has no idea the work that thomas is doing to make things right with all of us.

Hope: Well, we discussed it and liam believes that thomas is being disingenuous.

Taylor: I sat in on thomas’s therapy session last night and it’s legit. He is working so hard to become a better person. I– I would never support this if I– if I thought he wasn’T. Especially on your line. The friendship that your mom and I have built means so much to me. The years of battles that we have gone through to get to this point. I– I would never jeopardize it by putting you at risk.

Brooke: I’m sure that hope trusts you. But the question is, can you trust thomas? Can liam? So, what did you decide? Are you willing to allow thomas to work with you again?

Taylor: Can you just find it in your heart to give him another shot? Hi, I’m debra.

Thomas: You’re right, liam’s opinion definitely does matter. Um, which means my chances of being back on hope for the future are slim to none.

Paris: Oh, hey, try leaning towards slim, all right? Don’t give up yet.

Thomas: I’m not.

Paris: When is she deciding?

Thomas: She probably already has. I’d actually better go find out.

Paris: Well, I think she’s across the hall, if you’re ready to face the music.

Thomas: Ha. Uh, wish me luck?

Paris: Sending all kinds your way.

Wyatt: So steffy convinced hope to do it or not?

Liam: Convinced, I mean, I don’t know about convinced but– but hope was considering it for a minute there. Thankfully, it didn’t take me too long to bring her back to reality.

Wyatt: I mean, this doesn’t make any sense. Why would steffy let all be forgiven after everything that thomas has done?

Liam: Ah, you know, he’s her brother, unconditional love. She felt obligated to forgive him, yada yada yada. What I don’t understand is how steffy could expect hope to forgive him.

Wyatt: Hope can’t have thomas designing for her again. You did get through to her about that, right?

Liam: Thankfully yes. So, I mean, it’s– it’s looking like if thomas does have a future at forrester, it’s not gonna be because he’s working with hope.

Brooke: Look, honey, I don’t want to put you on the spot. If you’re not ready to answer, that is fine. Just, it’s a big decision so take your time.

Taylor: No, don’t take too much time. No, steffy is ready to pull your line. I mean, I know you’re worried about liam.

Brooke: Yes, of course. I’m sure he’s not happy about this.

Hope: No, liam doesn’t want thomas and me working together.

Taylor: Okay, but if thomas wasn’t genuinely trying to make things better, I would agree. But he is.

[ Knock on door ]

Thomas: Hey. Mom, I had no idea you’d be here.

Taylor: Hi, baby. I– yeah, I left my tablet here last night. I wanted to grab it before work. And also just seeing if there’s any news.

Hope: There will be after thomas and I talk… alone.

Brooke: Oh, oh yes, of course, shall we?

Taylor: We shall.

Thomas: Must’ve been quite the conversation with liam, assuming you talked to him.

Hope: Well, liam is my husband, not going to keep him in the dark.

Thomas: I’m guessing that he didn’t take things so well. Okay, look, hope, I wanna work with you, I do. I love what we do together, our line. I want– I want to create, you know, wonderful designs and– and bring our visions to life, I do. Not at the expense of your marriage or your relationship. I don’t– I don’t want to cause any tension between you and liam, so… if you have to say no, I’ll understand. Hi, I’m angela.

Liam: I did the right thing, right? Talking hope off that ledge.

Wyatt: Uh, yeah. Why are you even questioning that?

Liam: I’m not. I just, I don’t know. I’m starting to wonder if it’s more like a home life is home life and work life is–

Wyatt: Dude! Nope, nope. Stop right there. No, you did the right thing, okay?

Liam: It’s just if she loses her line and it’s because of me…

Wyatt: No, it’s because she’s not working with thomas. And if that’s the case, then it’s their loss, okay? She’ll figure something else out.

Liam: All right, here’s the thing. I– I have so much respect for hope. She’s so smart. She’s so hard working. You know, she– she’s strong willed. She doesn’t– she doesn’t need to be coming home and having me telling her what to do. Like that’s not the role I want in her life.

Wyatt: But you’re married. Her decisions affect you and your decisions affect her. That’s how it works. Especially when it involves someone you can’t trust like thomas. Okay, you were fully supportive and loving and caring, just like you always are, right? You weren’t bossing her around and acting all caveman like.

Liam: Uh yeah, yeah, I think 90% supportive, 10% neanderthal.

Wyatt: Okay. A little caveman’s okay, but you did the right thing because that’s what a good husband does, that.

Liam: Thanks, man. I really– I really appreciate the support and I hope my– my beautiful wife appreciates mine. I’m just, bottom line, I did get through to her and she’s not welcoming thomas back to her line, so.

Taylor: So, what do you think hope is going to decide?

Brooke: Whoo, I don’t know. Her line means so much to her, but is it really worth the risk? No, that is not a dig to thomas. And I believe your assessment about him. I do. I’ve always wanted him to be happy and healthy.

Taylor: And he is, he is well on his way. But I understand that you’re conflicted and so is hope.

Brooke: She was moved by what you said earlier. So was I.

Taylor: Good. So, were you both moved enough to give thomas another chance to prove himself.

Brooke: Mm, that is the question.

Taylor: I know. I know.

Paris: Oh, or better yet, you can hang out with your two grandparents.

Taylor: Hi, paris. Douglas!

Brooke: Hi, douglas. Oh, group hug. Hug, hug, hug.

Taylor: What are you doing here?

Douglas: Amelia dropped me off. I’ve got plans with dad.

Paris: But I told him his father’s in an important meeting.

Taylor: Yes, a very important meeting.

Douglas: What’s it about?

Brooke: Well.

Taylor: It’s a meeting between your parents?

Brooke: Yeah. It turns out your father and your mother may be working together again.

Douglas: Really?

Taylor: Yeah. How would you feel about that?

Douglas: That’d be so cool. It makes things a lot better. I hate it when they don’t get along.

Taylor: Mm.

Hope: You’d really understand if I had to say no.

Thomas: Well yeah, I mean, if you think working with me would somehow affect your marriage. I mean, if liam isn’t willing to accept the changes I’m making, what else can I do? I’m not gonna hold that against you.

Hope: I mean, if you were to actually follow through. If your words were backed up by your actions.

Thomas: They would be.

Hope: Then maybe he would initially be upset by it, but then, you know, he could move on. Especially if the line becomes a success. I mean, you have become an important part of hope for the future. I mean, no other designer captures the spirit of the line like you do. I mean, and believe me, I’ve tried looking.

Thomas: Well, thank you for saying that. I do respectfully agree, so.

Hope: And you were right about douglas, how it would mean something to him to set an example to see his parents working well together.

Thomas: Um, are you– are you saying?

Hope: I’m not ready to walk away from this. I’m not. This line is too important to me. It impacts too many people. It’s message is too important and I am not going to let those people down. So yes, I believe with you as lead designer, we could create something really special. Welcome back to hope for the future, thomas.

Liam: Hey, when was the last time that we had hope for the future on the cover? Was it like a few months ago, I think? I gotta, I gotta find it. Can you remind me? I was thinking about like having it framed for hope. As a gift.

Wyatt: It’s a good idea.

Liam: Yeah, right?

Wyatt: Or, or a bad one. Might be a painful reminder because it’s so long.

Liam: Oh, god. I didn’t even, ah, never mind. I don’t know, I’m just I want to do, I wanna do something nice for her. Something to make up for the fact that I was all like hardcore.

Wyatt: Dude, you do not have to make up for anything. You were being a protective husband. That’s okay. All right? Look, anyone in your shoes would’ve done the same thing. No one would want their wife working with that creep, okay? Look, hope is a remarkable, resourceful woman. She is gonna find a way to keep hftf afloat, I promise you.

Liam: Not if steffy has anything to say about it and she is the boss.

Wyatt: Okay fine, then she’ll find something else better. I– I know hope and I know that she appreciates what you did, okay? You were protecting your marriage. You were protecting your guys’ family, which means no thomas.

Liam: Yeah.

Thomas: Thank you so much. You have no idea of what this means to me. I– I won’t let you down.

Hope: Well, good. But thomas you need to understand if I see even a hint of the old you come out–

Thomas: You– you won’t, okay? And if you did, I’d be gone. I promise. I understand, look I am– I am dedicated to being the best person I can. The best co-worker, the best father and the best friend.

Hope: All right, in that case, I think it will work out.

Thomas: This is uh, this is my last chance. I get that and possibly hope for the future’s, so look, I promise I will not mess this up.

Brooke: Sorry to disturb you.

Taylor: Yeah, we just ran into one of your biggest fans.

Hope: Douglas!

Thomas: What’s up, man? Oh, what great timing.

Taylor: Wait, great timing does– does that mean?

Hope: Yes, thomas and i will be working on hope for the future again.

Douglas: You’re working together again?

Thomas: You bet we are.

Hope: Um, that is if steffy approves.

Taylor: Oh, of course she’s gonna approve, she’s gonna be so happy.

Douglas: But can you be friends too because I was just saying how much I hate it when you weren’t getting along.

Thomas: You know what? I think that we hate that just as much as you do. Maybe more.

Hope: Yeah. We’re making it a point to work well together as a friendly team, not only here at work but also as your parents.

Douglas: That’d be awesome.

Thomas: It will be awesome.

Hope: I am actually so happy that you are here so we could tell you the news in person. ‘Cause you wanna know something? I’ve um, kind of been missing you a lot.

Douglas: I miss you too, mom. You know, I’ve had fun staying with aunt steffy and uncle finn, but seeing you happy like this, I think it’s time for me to come home.

Hope: What, like– like now, today?

Douglas: Yeah, I want to be back at the cabin.

Hope: Oh, oh, my gosh, douglas, sweetie. Oh, that is, that’s amazing. It’s amazing. I’ve been hoping to hear you say those words.

Summer: Thank you. Hey, stranger.

Chelsea: Summer, hey. How are you?

Summer: I’m good. God, I feel like I haven’t seen you in ages.

Chelsea: Yeah, I — I didn’t get out much for a while, crimson lights being the exception.

Summer: And the last time i did see you, I think I was, um, offering you a job at marchetti, and you turned me down flat.

Chelsea: Well, not — not you. It just wasn’t a right job for me.

Summer: I heard that you were taking some time off for some personal stuff. How — how’s that going?

Chelsea: Um, yeah, it’s been a challenge. Um, I went through a really rough patch in the fall. But the worst is behind me, and I’ve come out the other side stronger than ever.

Summer: Oh, that’s really good to hear. But, uh, you still don’t want to come work for me at marchetti?

Chelsea: No.

[ Laughs ] Um, but I am working on something new.

Billy: Hey, ash.

Ashley: Hi.

Billy: Are you alone?

Ashley: I am.

Billy: Okay. Well, I was gonna sit at the bar to work through my 10,000 thoughts going through my head, but I could use the company. Do you mind?

Ashley: Sit down. No, not at all.

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Ashley: What’s going on with you?

Billy: Oh, uh… that’s a good question, actually. We haven’t been able to catch up since you got back from paris.

Ashley: Yeah.

Billy: Why did you come back so quickly? I figured you’d be there for a few months, you know, with the opportunity to work out of the paris office.

Ashley: Right. I know. Good question. But abby’s here, and she’s going through a lot. I got my grandson — dom. So, there’s that.

Billy: Ah. I see.

Ashley: You see what? What do you see?

Billy: [ Sighs ] I mean, I heard rumors that since you’ve been back, you’ve been in contact with tucker.

Ashley: So?

Billy: I mean, what’s going on there? Are you playing an angle?

Ashley: Why would I have to be playing an angle?

Billy: Because he’s tucker mccall and there’s no other reason to interact with him.

Devon: Hi.

Tucker: Hi.

Devon: Thanks for getting here so quickly.

Tucker: Sure. I was anxious to hear what you had to say. And I know that it’s not easy for you to reach out to me.

Devon: Well, just so we’re clear, this is strictly a business discussion.

Tucker: Yeah. Fine. No father/son emotional crap.

Devon: Yeah, something like that.

Tucker: So, does this mean you’re starting to see the value in taking over mccall?

Devon: I’ve definitely been giving it a look over.

Tucker: Okay. That’s a good start.

[ Chuckles ] Uh, are you held up somewhere? Maybe I can help.

Devon: Well, actually, i found out that you took the idea of selling your company to newman enterprises first. So the notion that this is all about me and carrying on your legacy is clearly a lie, right?

It’s the most wonderful

time of the year

Ashley: Thank you.

Billy: Look, tucker mccall is bad news, okay? You know that. Everyone knows that. And I really don’t like the idea of you being sucked back into his orbit. He’s caused you a lot of pain.

Ashley: And you don’t think that I am capable of protecting myself or being smart enough to make the right decision?

Billy: No, on the contrary, i think you are the smartest person I know. But when it comes to matters of the heart, all the intelligence gets thrown out the window.

Ashley: Well, that’s true. I mean, case in point — jack reuniting with diane.

Billy: Exactly.

Ashley: Exactly, but didn’t you advocate for everybody to give her a second chance when diane came back to town?

Billy: I did. I did say something of the sort.

Ashley: But you don’t think tucker deserves the same thing.

Billy: You know why.

Ashley: No, I don’t know why.

Billy: He’s one of those guys that’s not ever going to change.

Ashley: Billy, you’re one of those guys that’s not ever going to change, and yet you constantly ask for support every time you think it’s time for you now to start, you know, cleaning up your act.

Billy: Okay, yes, I have done that many, many times. And I appreciate it every single time. But the difference is, when I am going to redeem myself or trying to change, I actually mean it. It’s not part of some elaborate scam.

Ashley: Well, I actually think that people who try to change are sincere. Whether or not they accomplish it is, of course, a different deal.

Billy: So, you think that it’s possible for tucker to change? Because — let me just be clear — I don’T. I really don’T. I think that he is perfectly fine being an agent of chaos.

Ashley: I don’t think you’re in a position to judge him, let alone be his jury and executioner.

Billy: Wow, you really are defending the guy, aren’t you?

Ashley: Actually, I’m just not cynical like you.

Billy: You have feelings for him again, don’t you? Have you not learned anything?

Summer: So, are you designing again? If so, I would love to see your sketches. You know how much I respect your work.

Chelsea: Thank you. But, no, actually, I’m trying something new.

Summer: Ooh. Exciting. What are you doing? Can you give me a little hint?

Chelsea: I — it’s kind of hard to explain. I can’t really tell you right now, but, um, it doesn’t have to do with fashion. It’s something that’s very personal to me.

Summer: Hmm. Okay. Well, I look forward to hearing more about it when you’re ready.

Chelsea: Yeah. Well, I want to share it with you when it’s worthy. Uh, but for now, I’m just hoping that this caffeine kicks in so i can get past this creative stumbling block I’m going through.

Summer: Does that usually work for you?

Chelsea: Mm… ahh! Sometimes.

Summer: [ Chuckles ]

Chelsea: But really, I think it’s just that my — my personal life is impinging on my work.

Summer: Oh, I know a little something about that. I don’t think that a day goes by that there’s not some sort of family drama at jabot.

Chelsea: Mm. Well, that makes sense. I mean, your mom works with you.

Summer: Actually, um, she doesn’t anymore. I had to fire her.

Chelsea: You fired phyllis?

Summer: Well, believe me, I had cause. And honestly, the work environment has improved greatly, but my family life has definitely taken a toll and… I don’t know. It’s been — it’s been really hard. I sort of had to learn how to compartmentalize.

Chelsea: Trust me, I’ve done a lot of that. But I have realized that pushing things aside doesn’t always lead to healthy results, so just be careful.

Summer: I will. Thank you. And, um, good luck to you on your new path. I’m really excited for you.

Chelsea: I appreciate that. I’ll see you around.

Summer: Bye.

Chelsea: Bye.

[ Cellphone buzzes ]

Summer: This is summer. Wait, is there a reason why communications hasn’t handled that already? Right. Diane’s away. No, no, no, yeah. I’m just gonna get a refill, and I will be back to the office very soon.

Tucker: Well, I’d taken on a lot of debt, and so newman was prepared to buy that debt to force me to sell it to them. It’s really that simple.

Devon: Mm.

Tucker: But I would never ask you to take on a debt-ridden, uh, failing organization.

Devon: Okay. So, what’s changed?

Tucker: Um… [ Chuckles ] A benefactor came in and consolidated the debt before victoria had a chance to make her play. So now the company is in a much better spot. And you can buy it for pennies on the dollar.

Devon: Is that ’cause that’s all it’s worth? ‘Cause I honestly am getting the feeling that this is just your way of trying to dump a failing company onto the nearest sucker, who just happens to be me.

Tucker: [ Sighs ] Devon… this company is all I have had in my life for a very long time. Every thought I had, every ounce of effort I put forth was an attempt to make it something special. And even now, as it’s faltering, it’s not something I would ever just dump on someone. I’m — I’m really — I’m sorry to hear you say that ’cause that is not my intention, honestly. So, I’m gonna go.

Devon: You don’t have to go. You don’t have to go. ‘Cause if you’re telling the truth, I’m still interested in buying it. Taking over your company is an enticing offer. That’s it, I’m going on a dunkin’ run.

Phyllis: Ha! You’re right. Well, I’m glad you got back to me so soon. I really appreciate that. Right. Definitely. Let’s talk next week. You too. Ah, just crazy running into you here.

Summer: Is it crazy? ‘Cause I usually come here a couple of times a day.

Phyllis: Oh. Oh. Well, I’m glad you’re doing that. Good for you. You’re very hard-working. I’m glad you’re finding that life/work balance.

Summer: Yeah, I have a pretty good handle on that.

Phyllis: Mm. Good for you. Good for you. I’m sure it’s hard to find time with your busy schedule for harrison and kyle.

Summer: Not really. They’re the most important parts of my life.

Ashley: You know, I am just not interested in discussing my romantic entanglements with you.

Billy: Oh, my g– even hearing you say “romantic entanglements” makes me…

Ashley: Get over it.

Billy: Okay, fine. If you’re not gonna take any brotherly concern from me, what about jack?

Ashley: [ Laughs ] That’s funny.

Billy: I mean, he’s got to really not love this entanglement that you —

Ashley: Jack doesn’t have any credibility.

Billy: Why?

Ashley: Well, obviously because of his relationship with diane. I mean, he moved her in. And I never thought of a house as big as ours could feel crowded, but indeed it does.

Billy: Well, I mean, you could always move out.

Ashley: It’s the family home, which means it’s my home, and I’m not going anywhere. Thank you very much. Have you given jack any kind of grief at all for going back with diane, somebody who faked her own death?

Billy: I have decided to let jack make his own decisions. Who am I to judge?

Ashley: You are such an ass. You know that? You’re an ass.

Billy: I know. I know.

Ashley: So, you give jack a pass, but you have no problem judging me.

Billy: Ashley, you’re my sister, okay? It’s a different situation.

Ashley: Whoa! Spoken like a true chauvinist, billy. Are you aware that diane has specifically and repeatedly caused me harm? Now, granted, tucker is an egotist and he takes himself way too seriously, but your double standard is disgusting and egregious.

Billy: Okay. Maybe you have a point.

Ashley: Yeah, maybe I do.

Billy: Look, I know, okay? It’s not fair for me to judge anyone else’s messy affairs.

Ashley: What are you saying? You’re having an affair already?

[ Chuckling ] Really? What?

Billy: No, I’m not.

Ashley: What?

Billy: But, you know, I mean, there is someone that, um… look, I’m trying to be thoughtful and I’m trying to take my time and be conscientious. This, you know…

[ Sighs ]

Ashley: Very novel for you. Gosh, I can’t wait till you go public with your relationship so I can just judge the hell out of it.

Billy: Okay, and — and — and because of that right there, I just want to straight up apologize. I am very sorry if you are offended by this line of questioning.

Ashley: Yeah, you should be sorry.

Billy: Whatever you have going on with that manipulative, scheming megalomaniac… it’s none of my business.

Devon: I mean, the company is a mess.

Tucker: Thank you.

Devon: Yeah. Look, I know you put your heart and soul into it, but it just seems like it’s a big collection of a bunch of unrelated divisions that were either acquired or developed on a whim, without any real forethought.

Tucker: [ Chuckles ] Thanks.

Devon: It’s true.

Tucker: Actually, several times in the last few years, I’ve considered restoring the core divisions and concentrating on them and their strengths, namely music and entertainment.

Devon: Well, that sounds like a great idea. Why don’t you do that?

Tucker: Well, ’cause I’m a — I’m a collector. It’s part of my dna. I just got to have more, more more. I see a shiny object, I just have to have it.

Devon: Mm.

Tucker: It’s one of my many weaknesses.

Devon: Well, I think that you’re right about music and entertainment because that’s where your assets are the strongest and that’s where your staff is the most knowledgeable. And they’ve already made a good reputation in the industry, so it’s good infrastructure.

Tucker: The infrastructure’s good.

[ Chuckles ]

Devon: The only thing that’s a little outdated is your distribution. It’s a little 20th-century.

Tucker: Yeah, except there’s a big demand for old stuff right now — vinyl, cds, even cassettes.

Devon: Yeah, that’s true. I was thinking that you could possibly capitalize on a niche market.

Tucker: Mm-hmm. So, what would you do with the less successful divisions? Just scrap them?

Devon: No, I wouldn’t do that at first. I would — I would want to take a look at what you have and see how the divisions could actually work with each other. Like, you have this random trucking company out of san antonio.

Tucker: Yeah. Did I tell you how I bought that one?

Devon: No.

Tucker: So, one of their drivers cut me off on the interstate, and the truck had one of those bumper stickers, you know, “how is my driving? Call 1-800…”

Devon: Yeah.

Tucker: So I called [Laughs] Bought the company, and fired the driver.

Devon: Okay. Well, we’re not gonna be doing anything like that moving forward.

Tucker: Okay, good. Yeah.

Devon: So, my thought was we can use the trucking company for artists when they go on tours, to haul everything.

Tucker: That’s brilliant.

Devon: Yeah?

Tucker: Seriously. Yeah. That’s brilliant. And you could use the media division to stream those concerts. There you go. There’s more revenue.

Devon: That’s not a bad idea at all. Yeah, I can see how this could work.

Tucker: Absolutely. See? Well, look, we’re working well together already.

Devon: Hmm. Unless you treat dandruff regularly,

Tucker: Honestly, devon, i have faith that you and I can finally find some common ground, and maybe mccall unlimited is the way.

Devon: Well, I don’t know how you figure me buying your company is gonna help with us.

Tucker: Well, you buy the company and hire me to work for you.

Devon: I’m not gonna do that.

Tucker: Why not?

Devon: What do you mean?

Tucker: Well, who knows this company better than me? I mean, look, we’re already on the same page, obviously. So, with your vision and my, um, uh, institutional knowledge, so to speak, we can’t lose.

Devon: No, we can lose.

Tucker: Well, but we’re not gonna lose. Trust me. Hell, I could just be the advisor to the ceo.

Devon: [ Chuckling ] Advisor. Alright, so, let me make sure I’m clear on all this. You are willing to sell me the company that you created and then take a smaller role to try and fix our relationship?

Tucker: Absolutely.

Devon: Hmm.

Phyllis: Okay, well, um, I’ll let you be on your way, so…

Summer: Thanks.

Phyllis: Oh! Hey, summer, I got a gift for harrison.

Summer: Oh. That’s nice of you.

Summer: Yeah. When I saw it in the window, it just screamed harrison. It was so cute. So — I don’t know — maybe i can bring it by or — you know, scratch that. I want to avoid jack and diane, so I’m not gonna bring it by. Maybe I’ll have it delivered or s– wait. They went on a trip, right?

Summer: Um…yeah. I-I don’t think that they’ll be back for a while.

Phyllis: Oh! Oh, it’s an extended vacation.

Summer: No, but you can drop harrison’s gift off anytime, mom.

Phyllis: Okay. Well, that seems fun. Where’d they go? Dubai? Someplace exotic?

Summer: Are you seriously fishing for information right now?

Phyllis: Why would I care about them?

Summer: Yeah, that’s the big question. Why do you care about them?

Phyllis: Ugh.

Summer: I mean, but you seem awfully curious about their whereabouts.

Phyllis: Okay, summer. I couldn’t care less about jack and diane.

Summer: I don’t buy it, mom. And honestly I just wish that you would stop using harrison in your plots for revenge against diane. It’s insulting.

Phyllis: I got a gift for harrison.

Summer: Did you? Really?

[ Scoffs ] Look, I-I don’t know where jack and diane are, but even if i did, I wouldn’t tell you.

Phyllis: Summer —

Summer: No, mom. I’m serious. I don’t want any part of any of your schemes against diane. Just leave her alone already.

Phyllis: Summer.

Ashley: So, it somewhat appears that your love life is on track, I guess. What about your work life? Do you have a job?

Billy: Funny you should ask that, actually. Jack offered me a job. He asked me to come back to jabot.

Ashley: No. Wait, he asked you to come back and you’re considering it? You can’t do that. It’s always been a disaster, billy. I mean, think about this.

Billy: Ashley, look at me. I’m a changed man.

Ashley: [ Laughing ] Oh! So, you think that people are capable of adjusting their behavior and becoming functioning members of society.

Billy: I do believe some people are capable of that.

Ashley: Well, then you must believe that there’s hope for tucker.

Billy: [ Sighs ] Look, maybe — just maybe — tucker could prove me wrong. And then again, maybe I’ll prove jack and you and everyone else who cares about me wrong, too, that I am capable of change. And I have to say, this relationship is unique. It’s really, you know, helped me see things in a different light, put my priorities straight. I don’t want to take things for granted, like family. So, yeah, I want to work with my family at the company that our father built.

Ashley: Sounds like you’re taking the job.

Billy: Jack, it’s me. Give me a call when you get a chance. I want to talk about this proposal.

Diane: [ Sighs ] Jack? Jack? Where are you? I’m steve.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Diane: “Off to find you the best dinner in a 50-mile radius. Open a great bottle of wine. I love you.” Mmm. Hmm.

[ Sighs ]

[ Knock on door ]

Diane: Ah! Nice try, jack, but you know it’s bad luck to see the bride. Now, just go back to the hotel, and I’ll see you when it’s time. Kyle!

Kyle: Can I come in? I come bearing gifts.

Diane: Oh, of course!

Kyle: I wasn’t sure if there was a superstition about the son of the bride.

Diane: [ Laughs, smooches ] Get in here quick. I wouldn’t put it past your father to be out there in the woods trying to catch a glimpse of me in this dress.

Kyle: Dad is tending to some last-minute details. He said something about releasing a thousand doves at the end of the ceremony. Is that true?

Diane: Oh, it’s — it’s just an idea I had. I had no idea he could make it happen.

[ Laughs ] Gosh, I love that man.

Kyle: I know. You’re glowing, you know?

Diane: I am?

Kyle: I’ve never seen you this happy.

Diane: Good — because I love feeling this way. It’s like a dream come true.

Kyle: Mm. For me, too. My mother and father finally coming together. I can’t tell you how many nights I wished for exactly this. It’s everything I’ve always wanted. It’s like the perfect ending to a fairy tale that got pretty rough when I was young.

Diane: Oh, kyle, I am so sorry.

Kyle: Mom, mom, mom, mom. There’s no need. If it weren’t for that pain, i wouldn’t be experiencing this level of happiness. Today is a gift.

Diane: Yeah.

Kyle: And speaking of gifts…

Diane: Oh, that’s so sweet. You brought me something.

Kyle: This is from your groom. Dad had me deliver it because you’re so adamant about not seeing him today.

Diane: [ Gasps ] Oh, it’s amazing. Will — will you help me put it on?

Kyle: Of course.

Diane: Okay. Here, wait. Oh, gosh, I love it.

Kyle: Alright. Dad had it made especially for you.

Diane: Ahh.

[ Sighs ] It’s perfect.

Kyle: You’re perfect, mom.

Diane: Aww.

Summer: Oh, don’t wrinkle the bride’s dress.

[ Laughter ] Um, could I get a word with the bride? Oh, my gosh, that necklace. Diane, you look beautiful.

Diane: Thank you, summer.

Kyle: Mm. I’m going to go check on harrison, the most handsome ring bearer there ever was.

[ Laughter ]

Diane: Aww.

Kyle: See you, babe.

Diane: [ Sighs heavily ]

Summer: Diane, I have some things to say to you.

Diane: Summer, I know that you have complicated feelings about me getting married to jack, but I promise you —

Summer: You’re like a mother to me, the mother that phyllis could never be.

Diane: Oh, summer. That’s such a nice thing to say.

Summer: You’ve shown me what a mother’s love can do. And it hurts to know that my own mother can’t even come close to that.

Diane: Oh, honey, I am so sorry that phyllis hasn’t been there for you. But I’m here for you. Summer, call me mom. Aww!

Traci: Oh! Look, there’s so much love on a day like this.

Diane: Hi, traci.

Traci: Congratulations. I brought champagne…

Diane: Oh!

Traci: …To toast to your wonderful wedding.

Summer: Oh, none for me. I’ve got to go touch up my make-up.

Diane: Oh. Mwah! Thank you.

Traci: Alright. Jack tried to bribe me into letting him in to be a part of this toast, but I told him, “unh-unh-unh, some traditions have to remain intact.” Here you go.

Diane: Ah. Thank you, traci.

Traci: Nothing is going to spoil this wonderful day. Everything is going to be just perfect. And look at that necklace. It’s lovely.

Diane: Oh, well, thank you.

[ Both laugh ]

Traci: You’re going to make the most beautiful bride. And jack is going to be the handsomest groom. Oh! As a wedding gift, I am going to write a novel about your inspirational romance.

Diane: Really?

Traci: My agent has already sold it in just a three-line pitch. In fact, we also have optioned it to hollywood, and they’re going to make it into a big movie. I’m going to call it “the return of the perfect woman.”

Diane: Oh, I love it!

Traci: Cheers!

Diane: Cheers!

[ Both laugh ]

Ashley: Not so fast.

I gotta good feeling

about this, yeah

Diane: Ashley, I hope we can set aside our differences today.

Ashley: I have no intention of faking anything today. I have nothing but love in my heart. I woke up and I said to myself, “you know, diane really has changed.” And I’m so sorry. I’ve been so unfair to you. And I apologize for making your life so difficult since you’ve returned to genoa city.

Diane: Oh, thank you! We’re going to be sisters!

Traci: Oh, group hug!

Diane: Yes, group hug! Mwah! You know what? I love jack, but I am going to love being an abbott.

Traci: And you are going to fit right in.

Ashley: And you have taught us so much about what it is to change and be a better person. I love you, diane.

Diane: Oh, thank you, ashley. Okay, I know it’s last minute, but it would mean so much to me — and I know it’d mean a lot to jack, too — if you could see it in your heart to stand by my side and be my maid of honor.

Ashley: Oh, nothing could make me happier.

Diane: Oh!

Traci: Oh! It’s time for a toast.

Ashley: Thank you.

Traci: To diane joining the abbott family.

Ashley: And to the most beautiful, beautiful wedding ever.

Traci: Cheers!

Diane: Cheers.

Traci: [ Laughs ] Mm! Look at the time. The horse-drawn carriage is gonna be here any moment to take you down to the lake. We’re gonna let you go ahead and finish getting ready.

Ashley: We’ll see you there.

Diane: Thank you both so much for accepting me into your family. Ashley, could you stay and help me with — this isn’t mine, is it? Is it nikki’s?

[ Pounding on door ]

[ Sighs ] Jack, I’ve told you — no sneak peeks. I’ll see you at the altar.

[ Pounding on door ]

[ Sighs ] You won’t give up, will you? Okay. One quick glance. Like traci said, nothing can ruin this day. It’s our time. Jack?

[ Gasps ]

Diane: [ Gasping ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

[ Knock on door ]

Chelsea: Come on in, billy. It’s open.

Billy: How’d you know it was me?

Chelsea: You have a very distinctive knock.

[ Door closes ]

Billy: Well, thank you for noticing. Been working on it for years. Want to go downstairs and grab a coffee or something?

Chelsea: I actually was just down there, and I’m kind of in a groove here, so I don’t want to stop.

Billy: Oh, yeah. Don’t want to disrupt that.

Chelsea: Never. I was stuck earlier, but now i think I got my groove back.

Billy: Good to see you in the flow.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Yeah. Yesterday, there were a lot of creative ups and downs. You know, I was feeling kind of low. I was feeling like all my ideas were bad, feeling like a failure.

Billy: No, don’t do that. Don’t start thinking about yourself that way.

Chelsea: Well, they’re my feelings. Don’t try to talk me out of them.

Billy: Got it. Yeah. Feel like I’m doing that a lot today — telling other people how to feel.

Chelsea: Well, then, knock it off.

Billy: Work in progress.

Chelsea: So, I was feeling stuck and I went downstairs and I saw something that triggered about 20 ideas. I realized I’ve been thinking about the game in a specific way that’s too limited, when in reality, the world is full of pain and conflict everywhere.

Billy: That sounds ominous. What did you see?

Chelsea: Well, I don’t want to get into specifics, but i just witnessed something that reminded me that there is a lot of pain and conflict and tension among families, amongst people who love each other a lot. They don’t know how to navigate it. And you see this everywhere. I mean, you see it in coffee shops, at the park. You see it at work. The world is full of complicated human interaction.

Billy: Sounds a little overwhelming.

Chelsea: Well, I think it’s an opportunity. You know, I think this game can really be a way for people to figure out how to dissect all sorts of human relationships.

Billy: Hmm. Yeah. No, I see it.

Chelsea: And, I mean, you know, why do video games have to be all about slaying dragons and — and blasting aliens? What if it is that, you know, our players here, um — you know, they have to navigate different personalities and that’s how they go further in the game?

Billy: Okay, but you still get to blast aliens, correct?

Chelsea: Well, of course. You have to have some blasting.

Billy: Yeah.

Chelsea: Yeah. There has to be some action element to it. But I feel like the better the player is at the interpersonal stuff, the easier it is. If they’re not good at the interpersonal stuff, then it’s next to impossible.

Billy: I love it.

Chelsea: Yeah?

Billy: Yes.

Chelsea: I mean, I really owe it all to daniel. I mean, he has this platform, and he’s giving me the tools to help people feel less alone.

Billy: Mm.

Chelsea: I’m really excited about it. I want to change people’s lives. This cough.

[Sfx: Coughs]

Billy: I think it’s great. I really think you’re onto something. And you know what? I’ve played my fair share of video games in the past, you know, with reed and johnny and katie, so I know what I’m talking about.

Chelsea: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: I think daniel’s lucky to have you playing in his sandbox. And you’re gonna crush it.

Chelsea: Thank you, billy.

Billy: No, really. I’m inspired. You know, you got me excited about my next endeavor.

Chelsea: Your next endeavor? Are you going back to jabot? Are you gonna accept jack’s offer?

Billy: I haven’t talked to him yet, but I feel like I’ve made my decision. It feels like the right place and the right time. You know, I want to bring fresh, new ideas.

Chelsea: Wow. I mean, you were — you were kind of in a similar spot last year with chancellor.

Billy: Yeah, no, I see it differently. I wasn’t all that excited about chancellor. I mean, really, I was there to support lily. And I did my best, but this just feels different, you know? I really — I really feel like i can make a difference in my family company and show up with my entrepreneurial spirit and energy and, you know, do it the way my dad did.

Chelsea: It’s fun to see you so enthusiastic about something.

Billy: You mean other than you.

Chelsea: [ Laughs ] No, it’s — it’s inspiring that we’re both excited about our futures, that we can take control and create a life with meaning and purpose. And we’re both doing it for the right reasons this time.

Phyllis: Texting summer?

Kyle: No. Something else.

Phyllis: Hmm. Alright, well, that’s good to know, that she didn’t get on the phone and text you immediately after I saw her saying what a monster I am.

Kyle: Well, she’d never say that, phyllis. She might think it, but she wouldn’t say it.

[ Chuckles ]

Phyllis: Mm.

Kyle: Okay, I think she just needs some time. I’m confident the two of you will work out your differences.

Phyllis: I’m glad you’re confident. I myself am hopeless.

Kyle: Phyllis, I’d love to stay and talk to you about this — and we should sometime — but I have to get to the office.

Phyllis: Oh, kyle! Your phone!

[ Telephone ringing ]

Diane: Hello? Hello? Jack? Jeremy, is that you?

Phyllis: [ Sighs ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

can I get you anything else, ms. Reeves? Oh, no, thank you, jaime. I’m good. Oh, wait. Whoa, whoa. Um… you’re — you’re in business school, right? Yep, pcu’s graduate program. Oh, great. Um, question — under what circumstances would someone in a leadership position in a company be investigated by the sec? W-what makes you ask that? Ava: Hey, austin, it’s ava. We need to discuss your charming cousin and the not-so-charming stranglehold he has on us. So call me as soon as you can. Thanks. Hey, trina! Hi! What are you doing here? Uh, I just received a notification that the evaschen work just arrived. The shipper still has me listed as a contact. Oh. I-I’m here for the same reason. You know, it’s not your job to track artwork anymore. Yeah, but I just — I wanted to spare you from anything gallery related, especially after everything that happened to you lately. Oh, thanks. You don’t have to take care of me. Well, to be honest, I wanted a reason to return to the gallery. This place is really important to me. It’s like a second home. Now it’s more important than my first. Congratulations on your recent nuptials. Did bradley deliver my gift the night of your rehearsal dinner? Yeah, he did. I was surprised I didn’t hear back from you. Did the gift not meet with your approval?

[ Scoffs ] Where is that invoice for your feed, buddy?

[ Groans ] Well, ma ma q didn’t hire mefor my organizational skills. Sasha: That much is obvious. I’m about ponies, not paperwork. You are good with horses. You are also good with people. Among them, me. Is this dark roast? Not your preference? Well, it tastes burnt, you know? [ Scoffs ] Oh, I miss kelly’s smooth coffee. I miss kelly’S. I miss croissants. Wouldn’t you just kill for a chocolate babka? Why does felicia always bring just yogurt and granola? How was your shower? I didn’t actually get one. Someone decided to take the last of the hot water again. Um, that’s because the water here is so very hard, it’s — it’s difficult to get all the shampoo out of my hair. I rinse it a lot.

[ Carafe rattles ]

[ Clears throat ] Stay away from the window! Oh, my god. How long do we keep hiding here? This is torture.

[ Sighs ] Oh. Good morning. Is it? Well, it’s the best sleep I’ve had in weeks. I feel so rested. That makes one of us. You’re not upset about last night, are you? I’ll thank you to not mention last night again. We all learned to tread very carefully with jessie brewer. She was a wonderful, generous woman, but she had zero tolerance when it came to bringing personal drama to work. So she really kept us on our toes.

[ All chuckle ] How long have you worked at G.H.? 45 years, but the hospital’s turning 60 this year, so I wasn’t here at its inception. 60 years. That’s quite a milestone. Yeah. The hospital has been the center of so many people’s lives in port charles. How are you gonna mark the occasion? Oh, there aren’t any plans that I’m aware of. That’s a missed opportunity. Um, it’s more than that. It’s a travesty. Somebody needs to do something about it.

[ Exhales deeply ] Problem? Deception stock. What, it took a hit? No, just relax. You’re still getting a return on your investments. No, it’s just, it could be a whole heck of a lot better. If you were back there, you mean? Yes, if I was back there. Back at the company? Yes, yes, yes. I’m so sorry. Mnh! I thought that there was another bag, but that was the last of the coffee. Sorry. I miss paris. Oh, me too. For a lot of reasons, but right now, the coffee. Tell me about paris. Stop. This is another thing, see? Marty can’t be here. He’s visiting his mom. So watching you two lovebirds continuously reminds me that I am involuntarily celibate. You know what? When all this is over and we get victor, your life will be waiting for you. Don’t say the “w” word — waiting, waiting, waiting! That’s all I do. I am so sick of waiting. I just want out of here. We w ere both tired last night,and we’d both been drinking. Neither of us were at our best. But now we’re both rejuvenated.

[ Sighs ] Is it something I did? Oh, I have a busy day today. Anything to do with the next phase of your plan? You don’t have to go it alone. I’m with you all the way. Didn’t I prove that to you when I helped take care of anna devane? Victor, let me in. Tell me what you need, what you want. I’ll do whatever it takes to make it happen. If I knew you were coming, I’d have cleaned the place up. Did you find what you were looking for? Uh… afraid not, but, uh, no worries. I’ll look later. For you… with my thanks. For what? For what you did the day I confronted heather webber at the pcpd. Ava: Trouble at home? You’re the one that just went through hell. How are you? I’m hanging in. And your friend, dr. Gatlin-holt? Oh, well enough to check himself out of the hospital. In fact, your mom treated him right before he left G.H. So, when are she and curtis headed for italy? Um, as far as I know, that trip is canceled. They’re not in a great place right now. Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that. What happened? I happened. Let’s just say I’ve had a few things on my mind, so sending out thank you cards was not high on my list. It’s not like you to be ungrateful, so I’ll ignore your oversight. Newly-wedded bliss can be all-consuming. Or so I’ve been told. Excuse me. You are bluffing, sucker! Selina: I never bluff. M-ms. Wu. I-I didn’t mean — I-I was pla–

[ Clears throat ] Thank you for meeting me. Why didn’t you meet me at the savoy? I, uh, make bad decisions when I’m at the club. Is that what I think? The deed to my son’s garage. Yeah, I’m just — I’m always pestering jaime with these business questions. You know, he’s in business school, and, yeah, I’m gonna take credit when he passes his course with flying colors. Uh-huh. Have you heard from willow today? No, I haven’T. And I don’t want to risk our somewhat shaky truce by hounding her with questions and calls. So you’re taking it slow. That’s a good thing, right? Yeah, I’m just grateful that I’m in the loop where my daughter’s health is concerned. Boy, I wish I was in the loop where my daughter’s is concerned. Uh, have you heard from — anything from ava telling you that nikolas cassadine is threatening to take avery? I agree. It would be really nice to honor G.H.’S six decades of service to the community, but, you know, the leadership is still navigating britt’s loss, so they are probably just gonna put up a plaque.

[ Scoffs ] We need more than a plaque. Port charles has seen so much loss and turmoil in the recent years. This town needs a celebration. Maxie’s right. And I suppose you have something in mind?

Many somethings, actually.

[ Chuckles ] But there is a clear-cut winner to usher in the festivities. This town needs the biggest and best nurses’ ball that G.H. Has ever seen.

[ Laughs ]

There is no better way to mark G.H.’S 60th anniversary than with the nurses’ ball! Anniversary’s next month. There is no way to get the nurses’ ball ready in time. It’s not an easy enterprise. Bobbie, I’ve done bigger events in less time. I just need a choreographer, a fireworks team, a llama, and a truckload of bubbly. Plus a celebrity guest, teasers for local news, and some corporate sponsors to foot the bill. Easy peasy. We can do it. Yeah! Who’s “we”? Us. You really want to help? Any way I can. Then only come when I call. It wasn’t long ago you imagined you were being haunted.

[ Clears throat ] I was under a lot of pressure. I realize now it was the sleeping pills my doctor prescribed. I see. I, uh, requested a copy of a file on holly sutton, with her accident at the cabin. The original, unredacted file. Go on. It may contain useful information on the necklace. And you’re certain you can get your hands on this file? I have strings I can pull. Then pull them. Now.

[ Door closes ] Checking in, as demanded. Valentin: As far as safe houses go, this is fine. One moment. We are all making sacrifices. So deal with it.

[ Inhales deeply ] And why should I? You know, you and anna, you’re the spies. I’m just a humble entrepreneur, really. I can’t get away right now… why should I be stuck in a safe house? …So your contact will meet you where you are. You cannot go out the door! This is our best chance to bring victor down. This really seems like a you problem. I’m starting to wish I’d taken that attitude when we found you shackled in a paris catacomb. Okay, you know, I’m very grateful. I-I really am. It’s just that I wouldn’t have needed rescuing if anna hadn’t blackmailed me to spy for her in the first place. You know what? That was eileen ashby on the phone, and she says that she will get us everything we need to stop victor, alright? Wow. Well, for your sake and for mine, I sure hope she comes through — and soon!

[ Sighs ] If we don’t get out of here soon, I just may kill lucy coe myself. This will make us square, right? More than amply. Your debt is covered. Remaining funds can be deposited into a business account or used for a stake in the next game. No. Thank you.

[ Chuckles ] I-I’m — I’m — I’m done with all that. Deposit will suit me fine. Yeah, I was, uh, worried that you’d think I was butting in where it wasn’t my business. But I-I knew dante would look after you. Dante showed up because you sent him? Yeah. Isn’t that why you’re thanking me? No. I’m thanking you for not giving me up to the desk sergeant when I claimed to be heather’s lawyer. Yum. [ Chuckles ] Biscotti. You enjoyed the biscotti olivia made that night in the solarium. I, um — I did. Thank you. You’re welcome. You’re not mad? I pretended to be someone’s lawyer and asked to see the woman who killed my husband. You probably thought that I was out for revenge, and you were trying to save me from myself. Turns out you don’t need saving. Trina, none of this is your fault. If I hadn’t gone to check on stella the night of my mom’s wedding, none of this would have happened. Most secrets… eventually come to light. Ava? What’s important is how you’re doing.

[ Sighs ] I’m all over the place. I’m angry at my mom. But you miss her. I want to stay close to my dad, but I’m starting to feel, like, distance from him. And I like curtis, but I resent him. That sounds perfectly natural. What can I do? What do you need? A solution. Oh. Oh, sweetheart, I don’t think I can help you with that. Nikolas threatened to take avery? Ava said it was an empty threat, but there’s no empty threat when it comes to my child.

[ Gasps ] Uh, excuse me. I don’t mean to interrupt. How you doing, sonny? Can we talk for a moment? Yeah, of cour– aren’t you supposed to be in tuscany? Yeah, um, I wanted to thank you for comping that honeymoon room for portia and me. Yeah, it was my pleasure. I appreciate the generosity, but I can’t accept. This is… you’re reimbursing me for the room? It was a gift for you and your wife. Well, that’s just it. Portia may not be my wife much longer.

what happened? You know what? I’ll let you guys have a discussion. I’m — I got something I gotta do. Curtis: Why don’t we go have a seat at my table? Mr. Corinthos. Just the man I needed to see. Oh, hey, uh, what can I do for you, ms. Wu? Why was my shipment rerouted from pier 55 yesterday? It was a minor inconvenience. If you’re concerned that I might attempt to join your pikeman deal — okay, listen to me, alright? We had an arrangement. You operate on my docks at my discretion. You understand that? And I want you to keep it that way. Oh, hi, cuz.

[ Chuckles ] Don’t “hi, cuz” me. What were you doing with ms. Wu? I’m always here for you. You know that. But there is no quick fix for this particular situation. And I know you’re probably sick of hearing things like this, but… with maturity comes an understanding that — that nothing is absolute. There are almost always shades of gray. What my mom did was wrong. No amount of age or perspective will make me see that differently. I think your mother was wrong. I agree with you. But if you’re looking for me to validate your righteous indignation, I think you’re gonna be disappointed. Because I know from personal experience, there is no telling what a mother might do when she’s afraid she could lose her child. It wasn’t easy to face the woman who murdered my husband. Every word coming out of her mouth infuriated me. And you didn’t go for her throat. I admire your restraint. It would have felt so satisfying to claw her face off. But I thought of what brando would want. Which is? To get justice for him without compromising my future. Well, yo u definitely seem betterthan the last time I saw you. I don’t know, lighter or something. I won’t say that it’s closure, but a burden has been lifted. How about you? How do you feel? I am, uh, not really liking myself so much lately. I seem to be in the habit of letting down any person who cares about me. All any of us can do is forgive ourselves. If I can’t, what then? Conrinthos coffee, elq, deception, aurora media, and we can get ned to cover the rest.

[ Sighs ] Hold on there, hot foot. We haven’t even pitched this to the board. Well, when they learn that I’ve lined up donors and I’m offering my services, free of charge, how could they object? Maxie, even someone as efficient as you needs a reliable and a willing committee. Not a problem. I can already think of half a dozen go-getters. Not to mention, I already have a co-chair. Your mother didn’t agree to that. Who said I’m talking about my mom? Hey.

[ Laughing ] Hi! Oh, it’s so nice to see you. Not just ’cause you brought coffee, though. Oh, thank you.

[ Both laugh ] We heard what happened with ryan chamberlain. Are you all right? Yeah. Yeah, I’m — I’m — I’m getting there. I mean, the whole thing was quite a traumatic experience, but I think it’s worth it, because, uh… ryan is now gone.

[ Whispers ] Amen. Yeah. Yeah. So, how’s everything here? Well, it’d be nice to believe we’re making progress, uh, thanks to your plan. I had my reservations, but anna said you were the most convincing corpse she’d ever seen. Mm! Well, I have to admit, I did enjoy seeing the look on eileen’s face when she realized she’d been had. I doubt she likes being played. Let’s just hope she hasn’t gone rogue. Well… if eileen ashby wants to take us down, she’s going down first. I have a feeling that she’s too self-serving for that.

[ Footsteps approaching ] Hello, eileen.

You were expecting someone else. I thought maybe felicia scorpio. But I should have known it would be you. Oh? Why is that? Anna devane is clearly enjoying my fall from grace. What better way to stick it to me than to send you? I volunteered. Huh. That’s not surprising. You were the one who first told me anna was dead. And you sent me to the morgue.

[ Whispers ] You set me up. And you have been playing me since lucy coe was shot. Oh-oh, my dear. We were on to you long before that. We were biding our time until you could prove to be useful to us. Could you please, please, please — I’m begging you, don’t go, don’t go. Could you just stay and be like a little buffer between us, please? I-I’m sure there’s not friction here. I mean, we’re all on the same side. Right! Right. It’s just, we’re going a little stir crazy. You know that saying about two’s company, but — three’s a necessary evil to survive.

[ Sighs ] Lucy, I’m gonna come back, I promise. And I’ll bring you an update on what maxie’s planning for this year’s nurses’ ball. Ch– ch–ch– oh, my god. The nurses’ ball. Did they — they — they set a date? When is it? It’s in a few weeks.

[ Gasps ] A few weeks?! Mm-hmm. No! No, no, no, no, no. There can be no nurses’ ball without me. You make the most sense as a co-chair, bobbie. You love the hospital. You know its history. You’ve played an important role in the health and happiness of so many who have walked through the doors — least of whom is me. Maxie, I don’t know.

[ Chuckles ] You have to do this, bobbie. Nobody else can fill lucy’s shoes. I need you. Okay, you have till the end of breakfast to decide. Now, musical acts. These months without brando, I have had a lot of time to think. It’s usually at night when it’s quiet. And one of the things that I couldn’t let go of was how brando spent so much time taking care of me before he died. We lost a lot of valuable time together while I was spiraling. Well, I — you went through a lot. You know, it’s not your fault you were a hot mess express.

[ Laughs ] Don’t be shy. Tell me what you really think. Oh, I-I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I-I suffer from a disease. It’s — it’s foot-in-the-mouth disease.

[ Both laugh ] Well, don’t apologize. I told you before, I appreciate that you don’t feel the need to treat me with kid gloves. Still, I could stand to learn some more grace. You could stand to extend that grace to yourself. Once I managed to do that, my regrets stopped keeping me up at night. Sounds easier said than done. Nothing worth doing is ever easy.

[ Horse sighs ] Well, comet agrees. You’re outnumbered. I don’t know what to say to my mom or curtis or even my dad. Should I take the dna test? That depends. Do you want to know who your biological father is? I’m not sure. Well, then, maybe the better question is, would knowing change anything for you? I won’t let it. Marcus taggert is my father. He raised me. He loves me. And that will never change. Okay. Well, if that’s the case, then some would say there’s no reason to find out. I’m from a different school of thought. At the end of the day, I like looking in the mirror and knowing exactly who I am, exactly where I came from. It might not change my decisions or behavior, but at least there are no lingering, existential questions. So you’re saying I should take the test? I’m saying why not find out for sure? I am so sorry. I don’t know what to say. I don’t either. How can I help? You could take my check. Well, we both know I’m not gonna do that. Besides, you’re not really telling me that your marriage is over, curtis, are you?

[ Breathes deeply ] Portia lied to me, nina. When we met again after all those years apart, she made a point of telling me that trina couldn’t possibly be my daughter. Well, I’m not defending portia — I’m not — but also, to be honest, I can’t condemn her either. She didn’t admit the truth that trina could, in fact, be my daughter until her secret came out and she had no choice. Yeah. Yeah, because she was afraid to lose you. And I can certainly understand that, because I withheld information for the exact same reason. Gladys, what business could you possibly be doing with ms. Wu? I was just following your advice. Which is? You discouraged me from selling the garage to a low bidder. You’ll be happy to know I rejected that offer and sold it to someone who values its worth. Selina wu is the proud new owner of brando’s garage. Whatever mr. Cassadine is having, put on my tab. That’s very kind of you, selina, but quite unnecessary. I insist. You look like you need a pick-me-up. What do you know about it? She found it.

Hi, sweet pea. You’re so sweet, aren’t you? You are so good with him. Did you grow up around horses or…? Lately, I’m more familiar with the horsepower of ’70s muscle cars. No, but you’re not afraid. The last woman that I had here, she’d rather be caught dead than… I love riding. It’s just been a while. You should ride here on the estate. What do you charge? No, honestly, you’d be doing me a favor. I mean, it’s exercise for the horses, and, plus, mama q will stop worrying about if I have friends or not. Does that sound fair to you, comet? What’d he say? That you do have friends. So, you have a report for me. What did you find out?

[ Sighs ] Victor and I shared a room last night. We used to — anna told me. The less I hear about that, the better. Well, you don’t have to. I had hoped that re-igniting our physical relationship would loosen victor’s lips, but it didn’t work. Why not? Victor hasn’t been himself. He had an off night in the bedroom. Disregard my intrusion, mr. Cassadine. Enjoy your coffee in good health. Perhaps it will restore your customary courtliness, hmm? Not telling sonny’s family that he was alive in nixon falls is a mistake that I’m still living down. Okay, but at the time, I thought I was justified. Are you saying portia did, too? Well, I’m guessing, yes. But that being said, curtis, you know that I am always on your team, right? Especially around this issue. I know how painful it is being denied your own children. Well, finding out trina might be my daughter is nothing compared to what carly did to you with willow. Well…

[ Sighs ]

[ Stammers ] I’m just trying to focus on rebuilding my relationship with willow, but… I am so angry. Yeah. So am I. And you have every right to be, but I want you to remember this — the circumstances are not the same. Portia, she’s your wife and she’s trina’s mother. Have you… have you spoken to trina? Yeah. Yeah, I went and saw her. Nina… the whole time I was talking to her, I just kept looking in those big, beautiful brown eyes and wondering if she has my mother’s eyes. I gotta know. Yeah, you gotta have the answers, right? But does trina want to know? She’s considering it. Well, take it from me — do not push. I am learning to live with what I’m given. Whether it be a dna test or a relationship… curtis, let trina decide. I wish it didn’t matter either way. It doesn’t have to. You and I, we share no dna. Nature didn’t forge the connection that we have. We did that. And it’s one of the most meaningful bonds I have. Now, I don’t know if that’s an argument for or against getting a test. Only you know. But whatever you decide, trina, I will be right beside you. I’ll be holding your hand. Oh.

Time’s up. I said you had until the end of breakfast, so what’s it gonna be? Alright.

[ Laughs ] I will co-chair the nurses’ ball planning committee. Bobbie, you are the best. You will not be sorry. I promise you, the nurses’ ball is gonna be the best way to celebrate the 60th anniversary festivities of the hospital. I’m gonna text my mom. Oh, lucy and I may not have always seen eye to eye, but…

[ Breathes deeply ] I intend to do her proud. Yeah. Lucy worked really hard every year to make sure the nurses’ ball was a huge success. Yes. And lucy always made it seem like it was the biggest undertaking in modern times. But I intend to do just as well without breaking half the sweat or losing my clothes.

[ Both laughs ] Oh, well, it’s largely because of you that maxie thinks the show should go on. She wants to honor what she thinks is your legacy as the heart and soul of the nurses’ ball. Okay, that’s sweet.

[ Stammers ] Really. I think that — that’s lovely. I’m very grateful. It’s just that it’s — it’s really no small feat organizing an entire nurses’ ball. And in just a — a few weeks? I-I don’t see how ma– maxie can’t do it. I don’t think she’s capable to do it. Don’t worry about it, lucy. She has plenty of people to help her. The text I just received — bobbie’s gonna co-chair. Bobbie spencer?! Sounds like it’s all in hand. Stay safe. Oh, my goodness. Did you hear that? Did — did you actually hear that? Bobbie spencer? No! No, no, no, no, no. Bobbie spencer is not gonna take what is mine… again. Whatever trina decides, no matter the results, you’re still gonna be part of her life, right, because of your relationship with her mother. I’m just not sure where portia and I stand. So if trina is not your daughter, both portia and trina will be out of your life? I don’t know what I’d do without you. Trina, I love you. And I’ll always be here for you. But, you know, you only have that one mother. Maybe. But unlike my mother, you’ve never been dishonest with me. When it comes to ava jerome, what I see is what I get. Thanks for the biscotti. Probably not as good as mama q’S. Well, if they are, I won’t tell her. Don’t worry. I think I’ll take you up on your offer. I would love to get back into riding. Excellent. I just wish that I could give you something more in return. Like free color matching at deception or tune-ups at the garage? Well, I’ve already found my perfect foundation shade, so thanks. And I don’t have a car, which works out since you no longer have a garage. What do you mean? I still have brando’s garage. Technically, the garage belongs to my daughter-in-law, but — but we’re in the process of selling it, so I’ll just cut out the middleman and sign it over to you. I mean, sonny says it’s worth a pretty penny. Um, I’m — I’m sorry. I-I must have heard wrong. Heard wrong from who? Sounds like you selling brando’s garage to ms. Wu is a savvy business deal. I’m good with it as long as sasha is. Glad you’re on board, sonny. See you around. Gladys. Is sasha good or not? Ahh! Now, that’s a cup of joe. I know living with lucy is a temporary inconvenience. Insanity? But it’s all going to work out in the end. Because if we can prove that victor killed luke and framed me for “killing” lucy — provided eileen does everything we ask her to do. I apologize, selina. I — I haven’t been feeling myself lately. Oh? That’s a terrible shame. Is this a new issue for victor? Until now, he’s actually been rather… robust. But we haven’t been together in months. And maybe last night explains why. Alright. So, clearly, you aren’t going to be able to get information from him by seducing him, so we have to come up with another way to engage his interest. Ms. Sutton. It’s selina wu. You’ll be interested to know that something has greatly disconcerted our mutual acquaintance, victor cassadine. Perhaps that something has to do with the substance that you paid me to slip him? Eileen: Despite victor’s frustration and embarrassment earlier, his interest was piqued when I mentioned the possibility of getting him the unredacted report of holly sutton’s accident and the necklace that she stole. Then I think we may just have to give victor exactly what he wants.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You don’t move from this five hours, please tell me at least got lunch. Not yet. I need this report to be flawless. Stefan DiMera isn’t happy. Mm-hmm. Trask has made it very clear that she wants Eric Andre to go. And I don’t want her rightness harder than she already has. So I am crossing my T’s and dotting my eyes.

All right. Well, I appreciate your dedication, detective Hunter, but you need to eat Well. I didn’t see you duck out for lunch either. You wanna come with, yeah, I don’t think that’s such a good idea.

So how is this for a hot scoop? Roman Brady has been talking to his dead wife’s urn and he claims that it talks back to him. I mean, , obviously, poor chaps going mental, right? Yeah. Obviously.

What’s the matter with you? Why are you so Moy?

It’s about Sarah, isn’t it?

You don’t have to worry Ms. Price. We’re all over it. Now. I, I understand that Sloan Peterson had your assets frozen, but we’re gonna be able to spin that to your advantage. We’re gonna push the narrative that, um, that you know, she’s angry and desperate and persecuting you because of some twisted desire for.

Of course. Yeah, we’ll notify you as as soon as the press press done.

Chadwick just the person I wanted to see. I’m working Leo, so am I. What for the garbage column that you write. It’s not garbage. It’s gossip. As you well know, the spectator has very high journalistic standards, so every word I write must be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. So help me, Chris Hemsworth.

So does SJ p r have a.

About what Sloan Peterson situation. No, the Alex Keka situation.

Press release is ready for your approval Mr. Jaki. Oh, well thank you. But Mr. Kikis is my dad. I thought it’d be best to keep things professional at the office.

Well, I’ll let you in on a little secret now that I’m c e o. We don’t have to keep it professional. In fact, we could have sex on my desk, right? Seriously,

say something dirty to me.

What are you doing in my chair? What?

I said, what are you doing in my chair?

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

Thank you for waiting. Yeah, no problem. All right. Here is the job application. Just, uh, fill it out and I’ll take it from there. Cool. So has anyone else applied or you’re actually the first and I am so glad that you showed up when you did because we are desperate for another set of hands. Wow. Sweet. This must be doing really well then.

It is. And. Uh, my most valuable employee just left me in the lurch. What happened? Well, she wasn’t just my employee, she was also my girlfriend and, uh, we broke up. Sorry to hear that. I’ve been there and it sucks. So on top of dealing with a heartbreak, I am also getting slammed out Burke. And that’s exactly why my mama used to say, don’t get your honey where you get your money.

Your mom’s right. . Yeah. I’m mixing business. And pleasure is always a risk day about your one true love. Were you,

are you thinking about Sarah? No, no. I was, um, I was thinking about her mother actually. Maggie, why? Oh, Michael Uncle just made her the new CEO of Titan Industries yesterday, and by the time the word got out, we’d already put the paper to bed. Oh well, Oh well come on. When This’s big news should have been on the front page.

Yeah, the business section. Perhaps with the arrest of Brady and Eric for kidnapping the COCE O of Damara Enterprises. Well, clearly that is the winner here and the Brothers Grim was an inspired headline. If I do say so myself, that’s pretty clever. Yeah. Under Sure. Fire Away to Sell more papers. Have we sold more paper?

Dunno yet. But um, I’m sure it’s gonna be an improvement. Still wish we had the Tyson story, and I wish you’d start focusing on what’s in front of you instead of the one who got away.

Sorry, it’s a force of habit. Here you are. Have a habit of sitting in the CEO’s chair. Well, Sonny, never minded sharing his desk. Well, I. Okay. Got it. Alex, are you gonna have a problem reporting to me? No. No, auntie Not at all. This is what Uncle Vic wants, so I will do my best for Titan in a supporting role.

Well, I know that you were very disappointed that he didn’t give you the. No, really auntie. It’s cool. Lately I’ve had to get used to a lot of things. I don’t really like

what Alex Curios situation. I don’t know what you’re talking about. Oh, come on now. Chadwick, don’t play dumb with me. Alex works for Titan. You work for Titan’s PR company. What’s the skinny behind the musical chair situation? In the executive suite, there are no musical. Victor Carus found the ideal CEO O candidate, Maggie Carus, and the board is convinced that should be the perfect fit.

I’m not interested in lines from the press release. I wanna know what happened behind the scenes, the backstabbing, the double crossing, the betrayal. Sorry to disappoint your vast readership, but there was none of that. Oh, really? I heard Alex was a shoeing for the job, and then Victor did a 180 at the last minute and chose Maggie instead.

Something must have prompt.

Okay. You want the real skinny? Yeah, I want the real skinny. It was you. What? Yep. You reached out to Vic for comment about Alex’s extracurricular activities with Alex Chanel. So we reconsider, are you saying Victor passed over Alex because he’s a man whore? I didn’t use that term, but Sure. Ah, what’s, uh, what’s going.

Wanna answer me?

Okay. Looks pretty straightforward. Do you want any references? Yes, please. There is a space for that. Right on the bottom, you put their phone numbers and then you can circle one of the two hour timeframes in which you want me to call them. It eliminates phone tag. Ooh, that’s smart. . Oh, believe me, I haven’t always been this organized, but time management is crucial to run a successful bakery.

Mm-hmm. , uh, especially when you have to get up at the Graco Dawn every day. See you mean, and tell me you’re not pulling all items at the club. That will be a no. . . But anyway, I really do need to hire someone. So if you could just fill that out and then get it back to me as soon as possible. Yeah, will do. Oh, and by the way, I am.

Talia. Um, I’ll be back soon.

I don’t get it. Why wouldn’t it be a good idea for us to grab lunch? Didn’t you read Abe’s email? His office sent out a new policy on inter-office relationships, and we’re not supposed to be fraternizing. , but how’s that Fraternizing partners have lunch together in the job all the time. Yeah. Well, that’s the thing.

I’m not, I’m not, we’re not partners. I’m your boss. So come on, Ray. I mean, we had burgers at the Brady Pub on Valentine’s Day. You didn’t seem to have a problem with it. I mean, it’s, it’s not like it was a date.

Wait, did you think it was

anyone going to answer me? Well, I was just asking Chad for a comment on the shake up at Titan, but since you are the brains at SJ p r, perhaps you’d like to do the honors. Certainly, after an exhaustive search, Victor Kakkis has found the ideal c e o candidate in Maggie Kakkis. The board is every confidence she’ll be the perfect fit, not you too.

Excuse me. Chad already gave me the party line. I want your comment on the real story. That’s what I just did. Exhaustive. I don’t think so. Victor was going to choose Alex and then changed his mind at the last minute. According to Chad, it’s at least partly because he was a, uh, whatever Mr. Damer told you was strictly off the record.

Why is there more to the story? You were dating Alex Kiki exclusively, and then your relationship suddenly fell apart. Is that part of the reason why Victor chose not to name him c e o? We’re done. Was Alex having threesomes behind your back? Did he cheat on you with the bisexual baker? Honey, did he dump you because you couldn’t satisfy him in certain aspects of sleep enough?

It has nothing to do with her. They broke up cuz Alex shut off her phone. What? They were on a date. Alex didn’t want to be interrupted, so he shut off her phone. She didn’t get the sick. Goodbye to her dying mom there.

All these emails. Well, we’ve been in meetings all day. Right, right. Uh, just getting to know the different departments on Maggie, do you need a little help with the lay of the land? Um, oh, I got it. Thanks. Okay. It’s just that last night called me a right hand man. You said that you’d be counting on me to help bring you up to speed on some things.

Well, the meeting and the meetings, they, they took care. . Okay. Okay. Okay. So what are you tackling first? Um hmm. Well, I’d like to find ways to make Titan run more efficiently. Decide where we, the wisest for us to vest moving forward. Huh? There was one area that stood out to me in particular publishing. Oh, well, as soon as Sonny put me in charge of that department, my first order of business was to make Bella Magazine the flag.

The potential is huge. So we’ve been increasing the profile for the business, strengthening the brand. In fact, I just turned in the latest advertising budget for approval. Yes, I saw that. But you won’t be needing my approval. I’m shutting down the magazine,

but this publication has a very bright future and I just. Wish that you’d stopped second guessing. And of course, you, you’re, you’re absolutely right. I’m sorry. I mean, we couldn’t have wished for a better lead story on day one than Brady and Eric’s arrest. It’s just after everything we did to get this paper, I just really wanted to be a success.

Well, I can’t fault you for that. Can I partner? Oh. That’s Skylar with the numbers. Sky. Talk to me. Really? You course. Want a damn press release. Thanks. So our numbers are up 20% since last week. And not just new sales stands, I mean online traffic as well. Our subscriptions are through the room and we’ve even outsold the intruder.

Oh my God, that’s incredible.

That is not what I was expecting to hear. Tell me more, please. How did you feel when you realized you’d never get to speak to your mother again? Leo, don’t do that. Can you explain what was going through your mind when you walked into her hospital room and realized? The wft of life. Okay. If you don’t get out of here right now, I’m gonna take this phone and shove it so far, okay?

Okay. But I feel like I was asking very tactfully, just go, I’m going and I am very sorry about your mother. Get out.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Wait, did you just say you were shutting down Bella? Well, actually I’m surprised it didn’t happen sooner. The magazine has been struggling for some time. Yeah, I’ve been working to get it back on track. Alex, I’m sorry, but the numbers are The numbers by shuttering Bella Titan can take a ride off . I got it.

Auntie, can you please just gimme a little bit more time to show you what I can do? I’m afraid the decision’s been made. What about the staff? What are you, are you just gonna let ’em all go without any warning? We’ll offer a generous severance package. A severance package. And what about Uncle Vic? Bella was named after his daughter.

Do you really think he’s gonna sign off on this? He doesn’t have to. Fitzer isn’t the c e o of this company. I am

sorry. Sorry. I just, um, I got really excited about the numbers as well.

Skyler has told me we are up 20% from last week. Isn’t that amazing? So between lady whistleblowers, skating wit, you are awe inspiring work ethic. We give the British tabs a run for their money, right? Governor? Oh, I’ll be back. Where are you going? Don’t you wanna break out the SHS and celebrate? I can’t just sit around here congratulating each other.

If we’re gonna keep these numbers up, it’s gonna require work and stories that actually matter. I’m gonna see if Maggie will talk to me about. Take you over at tire.

What’s her problem?

Hi mama. I hope you didn’t come by for a bear claw because we are all out. Oh, no. No, honey. I didn’t come by for that. Actually. I came to talk to you. Okay. What’s. I just had a meeting with Bell Brady from here on out, she is going to be our attorney, our only attorney. I fired the rest of my team. Why? What happened?

Because they got their behinds handed to them by Sloane Peterson. What happened? Oh honey, on nothing good. You see, all of my assets have been frozen and so have yours.

I didn’t think it was a date, our dinner on Valentine’s Day. No, not at all. No, I just, um, I’m not at the time anyway. What do you mean? Not at the time. All right. You know what, Jada, as much as I, I enjoyed our evening, I just, I think it’s best that we don’t do it again and. I hope you’re not offended by that.

Offended. No. If that’s what you want. Yeah, that’s what I think it’s, yes. I think that that’s best to not socialize outside of work. Yeah, yeah. Right. I just, um, I don’t want there to be any confusion, infusion confusion, so that I don’t think. Hmm. That you’re interested in me in a way that you’re not. Yeah.

Right. I’m, yeah. Even though that’s, uh, not exactly the case. Ray, are you seeing it? Are you interested in me?

I am sorry, what was the question? Well, you said you didn’t want any confusion. No. You didn’t want me to get the wrong idea. Didn’t want you thinking that you were interested in me. Huh? But then you said that wasn’t the case. No. Right. Did say that. Didn’t I? Brief? Listen, aside from being my boss, you’re my friend.

I’m a good friend, so you can tell me honestly. Do you wanna be in one friends?

There she is. Talia. Oh my God. Oh my God. Honey, it’s so good to see you. I know you too. Okay. I’m guessing you two know each other very well. Brave. I’d like you to meet my sister, Talia Hunter. Wow. Are you saying I can’t access any of my money? You can access some of your money. Just not much. This is insane.

How am I supposed to run a business? Well, it’s only temporary. Baby bail is going to file a motion and get it undone. Okay. When? Well, hopefully soon. Hopefully. Hopefully. Okay. What am I supposed to do in the meantime? Well, we’ll just have to tighten our purse strings. The courts are going to be watching us very closely, looking out for any unnecessary expenditures.

Like what? Well, for starters, You can take down that sign.

It’s all about the bottom line. I get it. I didn’t mean to sound cavalier. I mean of, of course Victor wants to honor his daughter’s memory, but he also wants Titan to thrive for generations to come. Amber, Bella. That was my baby. What am I supposed to do now? Oh, don’t worry, you know? Ah, I’ll find a place for you where I hear congratulations are in order.

Oh my goodness, . Well, thank you. I can’t think of a more perfect choice for the new ceo. Don’t you agree? Go get a coffee.

What’s her problem? Oh, sorry. I’ve been hanging around too much with, uh, Leo Stark. I, me to rephrase. Is Alex upset that Victor passed him over for the job? Oh, I think it’s fair to say that he’s upset. God knows I’ve been there. Yeah. Speaking of jobs, I understand. Congratulations are in order for you as well.

Although, I have to admit, I was a bit surprised that Jack and Jennifer. Uh, hand it over the spectator to you and Gwen. Oh, clearly they thought we had potential and they were right. Our first issue was a huge success. Hmm. Good for you. I was just telling Gwen actually that, uh, if you wanna keep this momentum going, we need to keep delivering big for our readers.

And I can’t think of anything bigger than an exclusive interview with Titan Industry’s brand new ceo.

So that’s why you’re here. It’s . So come on Maggie. When you grant me the interview, are you gonna write me off the way your daughter did?

So you just planted one on the guy? Gosh, it was Unpremeditated, I swear. I just. I sort of just attacked him like I was a dog in heat. Oh, I would’ve loved to have seen that. It’s not funny. Mattie. Relax. Sugar Plum. You and Zandy hit a homer a few weeks ago, so you got to first base just now, what’s the big deal?

Q and all those bloody baseball metaphors for God’s sake. And actually it wasn’t a big deal to him, which is why it’s such a big deal to. English, please. Look, when I walked in here before the kiss, he was sitting over there looking so utterly miserable. Did he say why? Well, he says it’s because we lost the Titan story, but it’s obvious that it’s because he was pining over Sarah,

why the hell would you do that, Chad? Why would you tell Leo anything about my mom? I’m, I’m, I’m sorry. All right. He just, he was coming after you with all the stuff about the breakup with Alex and I just, uh, I thought, thought what? You could save me. I’m sorry. It was an accident. I just, it was a, a, a blurt, uh, a blurted.

Was it also a blurt when you confirmed that Alex is a man whore. Okay. Last night you said that you were pissed off about that too. Yeah, I did, but I didn’t share that opinion with the media. You do realize that we work for Titan, that it’s our job to protect them. Yeah, but I, but then why would you shoot your mouth off to a freaking gossip columnist?

Because I’m an idiot.

I’m sorry. I, I, I, I shouldn’t have said anything. You mentioned Alex, and I just, I reacted emotionally. You can’t do that with a reporter. Ever. I know. I’m sorry. It was a mistake. It was a, it was a huge mistake. I don’t like Alex. You know that. I think he’s a douchebag, but it doesn’t, it doesn’t gimme the right to be a jerk.

So I’m, I’m sorry, but honestly, I’m glad he didn’t get the c e o gave. Is that what this is about? You don’t want me working with Alex? What? No. Okay. So you’re not trying to sabotage my firm’s relationship with our biggest client because you don’t think I can keep things professional with my ex. I didn’t say that.

What it sounds like that’s what you meant, but if you didn’t, you should figure out how to communicate more clearly. Might come in handy since you work in pr.

Oh, sorry, I, I wasn’t paying attention. Me neither. It’s all good. My mind’s been someplace else mostly on the fact that I, uh, didn’t get the c e o job. I’m sure you’ve heard I did. I also feel pretty stupid about bragging the way I did. You must be relieved. You don’t have to worry about reporting to me anymore.

Oh, as I told you, I didn’t foresee any problem with this working together. Yeah, and for what it’s worth, I’m sorry that you didn’t get the job. I know how much you wanted it. Thanks.

Hey, it’s not like Titan doesn’t need you anymore. I mean, with your experience and expertise, I’m sure that Maggie is psyched to have you to rely on. Well, unfortunately you’re wrong. Maggie couldn’t care less about what I think.

It’s no secret that I was not happy the way you treated Sarah, but I do know how much you love. And because I believe in giving people second chances, I’m sorry she didn’t give you one really, really . And now that you’re in a legitimate line of work, I very much wanna see you succeed. So yes, I will give you an interview.

Oh, come on, Zandy can’t still be pining over Sarah. Oh no, why not? He’s still madly in love with her. That is just your paranoia talking, and even if he is still enamored of Miss Snooty pants, honey, it won’t last long. Oh no. What did your crystal balls tell you? That I don’t need my crystal balls to tell me that when a person is out of sight, they are much more quickly out of mind.

Well, I don’t see it that way because although Sarah might be out of Salem, she’s still, she’s still very much in his heart. God, you should have seen his face. When I kissed him. He looked absolutely horrified. Oh, I’m such an idiot. Fear not . Before you know it, the man of your dreams is going to forget about the woman who got away and focus on the beautiful woman in front of him.

Okay?

Why do I have to take down the sign? Isn’t her? To hire help will cost you money you don’t have right now. Okay, but without Ali Mama, I’m drowning. I’m sorry, baby. You’re just gonna have to bite the bullet. Un until Bell falls us out. Then you can bring on whoever you want. Except I wanted to bring someone on right now because it may be too late by then.

She’s really great and she’ll probably find another job if I don’t bring her on immediately. What? What? What are you talking about? You have somebody in mind. Yeah, I do. And she’s the perfect candidate. Talia, I like you to meet my boss. Commissioner Hernandez. No, no. Please call me Rafe. Wow. I’ve heard a lot about you.

So what are you doing now? What brings you to town? Well, I miss my big sis. You know, it’s been forever, since we had our kickboxing brunch. kickboxing brunch. Yeah. First we box, and then we brunch. Ah. Mm-hmm. . Hey, listen. I wish you would’ve called and let me know you were coming. I mean, I would’ve booked as a class, made some restaurant reservations.

Well, I wanted to surprise you, and I can’t think of a better surprise than a visit from my little sister. Yeah, actually it’s more than a visit. I’m moving to Salem.

Excuse me ladies. So you’re moving here. I thought you were living with someone in New York. Yeah. Um, We broke up. Oh, I’m so sorry. I cried my eyes out for a couple days and then, you know, I decided enough. No more wallowing, you know, time for a fresh start here in Salem. Just like that. You don’t seem too happy about it.

No, no, no. Talia, I, I am, I am. It’s just that this is, this is a big change. I mean, have you, have you really thought this through? I mean, what’s it to think about? I want to get out of New York and be near you. I know, I know. But you need to earn a living. Find a place to live. I figured I’d crash with you. My place is pretty small and I’m sure we’ll figure it out.

What about a drop already on it?

Oh my Lord. , these are delicious. Told you Talia is the perfect candidate for Sweet Pits. Mm mm Well, I can see. Taste. Why you want to snap her up right now? Mm-hmm. like, well, just tell us. You’ll have to be patient, mama. Wow. You look, you run the most successful bakery in town now, and if she wants a job mm-hmm.

I’m sure she’ll understand.

I don’t, I don’t understand. Why would Maggie shut down? For a tax write off. You’re kidding. No, I’m not kidding. And I had big plans for that magazine. Well then don’t give up. Try to change her mind, Steph. I did. Well, not hard enough. Obviously, I didn’t say it would be easy, but it is possible. How do what we do in pr spin a negative into a.

Right now, Maggie sees Bella as a liability. Make her see it as an opportunity. A very lucrative one. Yeah, but like I said, Maggie doesn’t care about my opinion. , she doesn’t care about my goals. She’s the c e o Now she’s got her own goals. So that’s it. Everything you’ve worked so hard for, just goes.

It’s not what I want, Seth, but I, but nothing if you really care that much about Bella, fight for it.

That was terrific. Maggie, thank you so much. Um, I’m sorry but, um, I really don’t have time to give you more, but, uh, please, uh, talk to my assistant and, uh, she will schedule a longer interview. Will do. In the meantime, I’ll type this up and get it over to g. How, um, you know, what are, how are things going with you two?

Are you a couple again? No, I’m, no, I, well, you know, after Sarah and I split up, we did spend some quality time together, very delicately put, look, I’ve been very clear with Quinn that I’m not over Sarah, and I dunno if I ever will be. Maybe now that Sarah’s left hand, that’ll. I just dunno. And in the meantime it’s not fair to Lee G went on, is it?

Mm. No. Get me started. Okay. What she did to my daughter. I have very little sympathy for her, but you know, I do agree. You shouldn’t start a relationship when you still have feelings for someone else. Well, I should get going. Okay. Congrats again. Well, thank you. Of all the people, Victor’s putting that chair over the years.

You are the best choice here. Thanks.

I told Zander the same thing. He should just focus on the present. Well, trust me. As soon as he has that divorce decree in hand, he will have no choice but to accept that his marriage is over, assuming that the papers go through, considering the office twit lost the originals. Right. Did that seem a little suspicious to you?

Suspicious how maybe someone down there is a Zara Fan Z. Did you just give them a couple’s name then? Pretty soon it’s gonna be all about Guder. Gwenda. Oh my God. That’s dreadful. No Gwenda, no. Not good either. Sounds like something you used to mix me. A froze. Why don’t we just keep it at Gwen and Zander soon to be my favorite couple of all time madly in love making beautiful babies together.

You know, maybe it’s time for lady whistleblower to Sasha away down to the clerk’s office and sniff around. See if anybody’s poking their grubby little paw where they don’t belong. Yeah.

Madly in love making gorgeous babies together

shared your optimism.

Did TA leave? Uh, yeah, she went to follow up on a job opportunity. Oh, wow. Impressive. Well, that’s a pretty great surprise though, huh? Finding out your sister’s moving to town. That’s her specialty. Spontaneous decision making, huh? Well, sounds like you have some arrangements to make, so, uh, I’ll let you get to it.

Wait, we didn’t finish our conversation conversation. You and me. Uh, you know what? On on second thought I put you on the spot. That was way too pushy with me. Um, nevermind. Oh, and that’s same. So, uh, I gotta take it. So you need to grab some lunch.

Alright. All righty. All done. References and everything. Uh, Talia, there’s a. There’s something I have to tell you about the job, what

you’re hired. Yes. Yes.

Just sent you the press release for pulling a. Thanks. I’ll take a look.

I’m sorry. No, I’m sorry. I love my, my personal feelings get in the way of me doing my job. My promise you, I won’t, I won’t make that mistake again. I care about this company. I care about you. We have a good thing going, a great thing I think. I don’t wanna screw that up. Me neither.

So did you, um, speak to Maggie? We set up a proper interview for the Weekend magazine. She gave me some quotes we can use in the meantime. Wonderful. So, um, should we, uh, talk about tomorrow’s paper then? I was thinking you could talk about us.

I’m.

Hey, Uncle Vick, it’s me. I was wondering if we could have a little chat about Bella.

Hope: Oh.

Liam: Ooh. All right, I know this look. Is it hope for the future?

Thomas: Thanks for meeting us here, dr. Howard. This is just the– the best place for this time.

Howard: Well, I’m encouraged by the progress you’re making, thomas. And asking to meet at the office shows promise.

Thomas: Yeah, well you know, it’s possible I could be designing here again soon. Hopefully. You know our– our sessions have made all the difference in the world and obviously, my mom is very supportive.

Howard: I’m glad you can join us, dr. Hayes.

Taylor: Thank you, dr. Howard. I’m glad to be here. These intensive therapy sessions have been wonderful for thomas.

Howard: He’s been putting in the work.

Taylor: Yeah. You know I– I– I see a– I see a real change in my son. I’m witnessing it firsthand and I’m so proud of you.

Thomas: Thanks, mom.

Katie: No problem at all. I’ll have my assistant send over another press packet. Yes, I’ll have her reach out. Thank you very much. Ciao.

Carter: Ciao to you too.

Katie: Huh. This day just doesn’t want to end.

Carter: One of those, huh?

Katie: Yeah. I’m really sorry I had to cancel our dinner plans.

Carter: Don’t even worry about it.

Katie: Thank you. I have a lot to thank you for. You’ve been such a dear friend to me.

Carter: So, you consider me a dear friend?

Katie: Yes, yes I do. And I sound just like my grandmother.

Carter: You sound just like my grandmother.

Katie: It’s just that, um, well you’re one of the good guys. I feel really lucky to have you on my side. I just want you to know how much I appreciate you.

Carter: I feel the same way about you.

Howard: We’ve been focusing quite a bit on impulse control, using new tools to respond to emotional triggers. Have you noticed a difference in yourself?

Thomas: Yeah, I mean, um, I’m definitely recognizing things. I’m being more objective and I can kind of catch my emotions before they grab a hold of me. Well, obviously recently hitting rock bottom, it– it, I don’t know, it just made me so ashamed of the things I’ve done.

Taylor: Okay, but we– we don’t want you to feel ashamed. That’s– that’s not good. I just want you to understand why you do some of the things you do.

Thomas: Yeah, but there are some people out there who don’t believe I’m capable of change.

Liam: I know your life hasn’t been very easy lately, especially with douglas staying over at steffy’S.

Hope: Yeah, I miss him.

Liam: And then add to that, hope for the future going through a rough patch. I– I get it.

Hope: Well, it’s not just a rough patch, liam. I mean, they’re considering shelving the line unless we find a solution.

Liam: You are nothing if not resourceful and I know you and I know you’re gonna do whatever it takes to– to bring the line back and I’m here to help you in any way that I can, if I can.

Hope: And I appreciate that. It’s just um… I don’t think you’re going to like what seems like my only option. I’m considering bringing thomas back as lead designer. Scout is protected by simparica trio,

Carter: I feel very close to you, katie. This friendship we’ve built. It’s uh, it’s a beautiful thing.

Katie: It’s nice to have someone to hold on to.

Carter: It means a lot and we’ve helped each other through some challenges.

Katie: Yeah, bill and sheila topping the list. But you know what? We have fun.

Carter: Yeah.

Katie: We have a good time.

Carter: Yeah. And a lot of wonderful meals.

Katie: So much good.

Carter: Too many. I think I’ve gained a few pounds.

Katie: Oh no, no, no, say it’s not so. Are you down to a five pack?

Carter: Five and a half.

Katie: Okay, thank god. I was worried. See? This is what I’m talking about. This is what I’m talking about. I don’t– I don’t wanna– I don’t wanna mess this up. You know, I– I– I love this. It’s uncomplicated and it’s special and I just don’t wanna do anything to jeopardize this– this friendship.

Carter: Me either.

Katie: Because it’s rare, right? It’s rare to find someone that you can– that you can laugh with and just be silly with and… and still be vulnerable and you know, be there for. It’s rare and I just– I– I just don’t want to mess it up, do you know what I mean?

Carter: Yeah, I know exactly… know exactly what you mean.

Howard: You haven’t mentioned hope as much recently. I consider that a positive sign.

Thomas: Yeah, I’ve had moments where I’m still attracted to her, but I haven’t been fixated on her.

Howard: Okay. Good.

Taylor: If I may, dr. Howard?

Howard: Of course.

Taylor: I hear what you’re saying, but– but what makes it different now?

Thomas: Well, I think because I actually believe it, you know? Um, I– I honestly want the best for hope. I just, I want her to be happy, you know and I want her to be able to trust me.

Howard: You understand how difficult that may be for hope? It may take some time.

Thomas: I get that. But I think we make an amazing team together. You know, we’re great parents and we’ve designed some pretty awesome clothes.

Howard: I have no doubt you’re being sincere thomas.

Taylor: Me too.

Thomas: Thank you. Thank you both for believing in me.

Liam: Thomas, really? You would– you would– you would oose to work– to work with tmas ag

>>Ope: It was reike an ultimatum from steffy.

Liam: Uh, its… from steffy? From steffy, after everything that thomas did to her and her family. From steffy?

Hope: Well apparently, they’re back on good terms and she believes he is the only way to get the line back on its feet.

Liam: Oh, my god, that is– that is so unreasonable. He’s obviously not the only way.

Hope: Liam, I was just as thrown as you are right now.

Liam: Thomas, really? I mean anyone but thomas, I don’t care. I don’t care what steffy is telling you, she’s wrong. It’s not always just about the numbers, okay. What is the cost of your sanity? What is the cost of your safety? Please just look me in the eye and tell me you understand that nothing good has ever come from you and thomas being together. Tattoo studio eyeliner from maybelline new york.

Katie: I’ve had so much fun with you. I mean we’ve– we’ve laughed. I just, I– I don’t remember the last time I’ve laughed that hard. My– my stomach literally has hurt from laughing and that’s amazing and– and wonderful and… I feel safe and I feel secure with you and that… that’s everything that I could ever want in a friend.

Carter: Right back at you. You’re a beautiful woman. You’re giving, open and I admire the hell out of you and nothing’s gonna change that. No matter what.

Katie: No matter what?

Carter: Yeah. So, I guess we are crossing into the friend zone.

Katie: What? What? No, no! Is that what you thought that I was saying? Is that where you thought I was going with this?

Carter: Aren’t you? That’s not, that’s not–

Katie: No, no, no. Hell no.

Taylor: I think that went really well. It’s– it’s so good to see you finding clarity and then working so hard to understand yourself better.

Thomas: Yeah, I’m just so sorry that I caused all this trouble for you and dad and brooke and douglas. It’s like there’s no excuse for what I did.

Taylor: Oh, I know. I know I mean I understand why you did it. But honey, when I– when I look at you now, I see a man who is making this beautiful evolution and I know I keep saying it, but I am so proud of you. And I can tell your therapist is too.

Thomas: You know, I still have no idea how dad feels. And but… at least steffy is– is happy to bring me back into the office.

Taylor: And as far as your dad is concerned, he– he will come around. My big question now is will hope?

Hope: I understand, liam, how you feel about thomas.

Liam: For good reason.

Hope: We are talking about my career, my line that I love and I care so much about. Hope for the future allows me to– to try to make a positive impact in the world–

Liam: Allows you to try? You’ve been making a positive impact, hope and– and I don’t even mean that in some like fuzzy, abstract way, like in my heart or in our home. Like no, you are literally an inspiration to millions of people across the planet. Your– your line has enjoyed success for a decade.

Hope: And I want decades more. I don’t want to abandon it.

Liam: I’m not– I’m not saying that you have to. I get that, I get it. I get that you’re scared about losing your line, but caving into steffy and turning to thomas, there’s no way that’s the answer.

Hope: Yeah, well she says I don’t really have much of a choice.

Liam: She’s wrong! Of course, you have a choice. Of course, there are other choices.

Hope: Look, steffy understands that she’s putting me in a difficult position, but she says her hands are tied.

Liam: That is bull, hope.

Hope: I think the thing you don’t want to acknowledge is the fact that thomas is a very talented designer and hope for the future has been doing very well with him as lead designer.

Liam: I acknowledge that he’s a talented designer. I acknowledge that he’s an incredibly talented designer. What I am not willing to acknowledge is that that is all that matters. Do you– do you acknowledge the risk that you are taking here?

Hope: Liam, I am in between a rock and a hard place and I have the same concerns as you. The difference this time though is thomas isn’t just talk, he actually has been following through with action. He apologized to my mom, he’s going to therapy. Taylor says he’s making excellent progress.

Liam: Oh yeah, taylor always says that he’s making excellent progress right before he turns around and does something psycho. She’s blinded by her love for him. I don’t care. What about your mom? What does your mom say?

Hope: Well, she’s not exactly thrilled.

Liam: Shocking.

Hope: Yeah, but she also understands the business side of it, liam. And she also gets that at the end of the day, it is going to be my decision to make.

Liam: So, uh, okay. Have you made it already? Are you gonna work with thomas again? (Vo) morning, noon, night.

Taylor: You know how– how worried I was about our family. You know, I mean, I knew that we would put the pieces back together at some point. I was just so afraid that we were gonna get pulled farther and farther apart.

Thomas: Yeah, but you know I made so many mistakes in the past and I hurt a lot of people. Everyone in our family and honestly I wouldn’t blame them if they never wanted to forgive me.

Taylor: I think hope wants to move past all of this. I– I think she knows that she needs you and she’s smart and she– she wants to make sure her line doesn’t get canceled.

Thomas: But there is one more factor in this whole equation and that is liam. The guy pretty much hates me, right? And I– I don’t exactly blame him for– for wanting to protect his wife. But mom, I promise I am not a threat to anyone anymore.

Taylor: No, I know that. I know that and your actions are going to speak for themselves. You’re dedicated to your craft and there is no one better to spread the message of love and acceptance. And that is exactly what hope for the future stands for. Thomas forrester, I believe in you.

Liam: Have you already made up your mind about thomas? Is that what this conversation was always gonna be? You– you letting me know that he’s coming back to hftf?

Hope: No, liam. I would never make a decision like that and not talk to you first. I mean… I know you love me and I get that you’re just trying to look out for me–

Liam: Because of his track record–

Hope: And I haven’t forgotten. But you’re asking me to choose between my career and–

Liam: No, no, no, I’m not. I am not asking that. I’m not asking you to choose that because it’s a false choice, hope. I don’t, I’m sorry, I don’t buy this line from steffy that thomas is the only way forward for hope for the future. And frankly I’m kind of pissed off at her right now, for– for not letting you explore your options.

Hope: Oh, my gosh, we’ve tried. We’ve looked at other designers.

Liam: Okay, all right, okay, how about this? All right fine, this isn’t working. Let me– let me ask you this. Is there anything, anything at all that thomas could do that would make him a deal breaker? Anything that– that would take hiring him off the table forever? Because I’m– I’m getting– I’m getting scared that the answer is no. I’m scared, hope. I’m scared that thomas could sell company secrets to a competitor, that he could– that he could literally throw an intern out of the window of the forrester C.E.O. Office right in front of you and steffy and you would shrug and go, “well, he is a very talented designer.” So you tell me, where do you draw the line? Where?

Hope: And have you maybe ever considered that it might be beneficial to douglas to not see his parents at war? That it might be beneficial to him to see us working well together as a team?

Liam: That would be a good reason if I actually thought it came from you. I have begged you so many times to keep thomas out of your life. And when you don’t, we all pay the price. I don’t know what– I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m exhausted, so I’m begging you again. Please, please do not hire him at hope for the future. Please do not give him that opening in your life. Please.

Hope: Okay, fine. All right. I’ll tell him no.

Liam: Oh, my god. My god, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You’re making the right decision, I promise, I promise.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Rafe enters the police station and comments that Jada hasn’t moved from her desk in hours, so he hopes she at least had lunch. Jada says not yet as she had to make sure the report on Stefan’s kidnapping was flawless because Melinda has made it very clear that she wants Brady and Eric to go down, and she doesn’t want Melinda riding them any harder. Rafe appreciates her dedication but points out that she has to eat. Jada notes that she didn’t see Rafe leave for lunch either so she invites him to come with her. Rafe responds that he doesn’t think that’s such a good idea.

Xander sits in his office at the Spectator, looking at a photo of Sarah on his phone until Gwen walks in and tells him that she has a scoop on Roman talking to his dead wife’s urn and saying that it talks back to him. Gwen jokes that Roman’s obviously going mental. Gwen then asks what’s the matter with Xander and guesses it’s about Sarah.

Chad is at the Brady Pub, on the phone with Paulina. Chad tells her not to worry as they are all over it and they plan to spin Sloan freezing her assets to her narrative that Sloan is desperate because of her twisted desire for revenge. Chad says they will notify her as soon as the press release is done and hangs up. Leo arrives and sits at Chad’s table. Chad tells him that he’s working. Leo says he is too. Chad calls Leo’s column garbage. Leo says the Spectator has high journalistic standards so every word he writes must be the truth. Leo turns on his recorder and asks if SJPR have a comment on the Alex Kiriakis situation.

Alex sits at the CEO desk at Titan and dreams about Stephanie coming to be with him until Maggie walks in and questions what he is doing in her chair.

Chanel gives the woman at the Bakery an application to fill out and talks about how glad she is that she came when she did because the bakery could use another set of hands after her most valuable employee just left. The girl asks what happened so Chanel notes that it wasn’t just her employee but also her girlfriend and they broke up. She tells Chanel she’s been there and it sucks. Chanel says in addition to the heartbreak, she’s also been slammed at work. Chanel remarks that mixing business with pleasure is always a risk.

Gwen asks if Xander was daydreaming about Sarah. Xander claims he was thinking about Maggie actually because Victor just made her the new CEO of Titan yesterday, but by the time word got out, they already put the paper to bed. Gwen says oh well but Xander feels it’s big news that should’ve been on the front page. Gwen says maybe on the business page but argues that Eric and Brady kidnapping a co-CEO of DiMera Enterprises is clearly the winner here. Xander asks Gwen if they’ve sold more papers. Gwen says she doesn’t know yet but is sure it will be an improvement. Xander remarks that he still wishes they got the Titan story while Gwen remarks that she wishes he’d start focusing on what’s in front of him instead of the one that got away.

Alex tells Maggie that he’s sorry as it’s a force of habit since Sonny never minded sharing his desk. Maggie says that she does and asks if he’s going to have a problem reporting to her. Alex says not at all and agrees to do his best for Titan in a supporting role. Maggie knows he was very disappointed that Victor didn’t give him the job. Alex responds that it’s cool because lately, he’s had to get used to a lot of things he doesn’t like..

Chad asks Leo what Alex Kiriakis situation and says he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Leo asks about the musical chairs behind the executive suite at Titan. Chad says there is no musical chairs and that Victor chose Maggie as CEO and the board believe she is best for the job. Leo says he’s not interested in lines from a press release, he wants to know what happened behind the scenes. Chad says there was no backstabbing or betrayal. Leo brings up hearing that Alex was a shoe-in for the job but then Victor changed his mind at the last minute and went with Maggie instead, so something must have prompted that. Chad then reveals that it was because of Leo reaching out to Victor about Alex’s extra curricular activities with Allie and Chanel. Leo questions if Chad is saying that Victor passed on Alex because he’s a man whore. Chad says he didn’t use those terms but sure. Stephanie then comes over and questions what is going on here.

Chanel shows the woman at the bakery more on the application and tells her to get it back to her as soon as possible. She introduces herself as Talia and says she’ll be back soon as she then walks away.

Jada doesn’t get why it wouldn’t be a good idea for her and Rafe to get lunch. Rafe reminds her of Abe’s e-mail and the new policy about interpersonal relationships and not fraternizing. Jada argues that partners have lunch together all the time. Rafe reminds her that they aren’t partners and he’s her boss. Jada reminds him that they had burgers at the Pub on Valentine’s Day and he didn’t seem to have a problem with it. Jada comments that it’s not like it was a date, then stops and asks if Rafe thought it was.

Stephanie asks if anyone’s going to answer her. Leo explains that he was just asking Chad for a comment on the shakeup at Titan and says that since Stephanie is here, maybe she’d like to do the honors. Stephanie states that after an exhaustive search, Victor has chosen Maggie as CEO and they believe she is the best person for the job. Leo complains that Chad already gave him that answer and he wants her comments on the real story. Stephanie says that’s what she did. Leo doesn’t buy an exhaustive search and says that Alex was a shoe-in for the job before Victor changed his mind. Leo starts to tell her what Chad said but Stephanie says that whatever Chad told him is strictly off the record. Leo asks if that’s because there is more to the story. Leo brings up that Stephanie was dating Alex and then their relationship suddenly fell apart, so he asks if that’s part of the reason that Victor didn’t choose him as CEO. Stephanie declares they are done. Leo then asks if Alex was having threesomes behind her back, if Alex cheated on her with the bisexual baker, or if Alex broke up with her because she couldn’t satisfy him in certain ways. Chad shouts that’s enough and that they broke up because Alex shut off her phone which Leo questions. Chad then reveals that they were on a date and Alex didn’t want to be interrupted, so he shut off her phone and she didn’t get to say goodbye to her dying mom, shocking both Leo and Stephanie as well.

Maggie comments on the e-mails. Alex says she’s been in meetings all day. Maggie says she’s just getting to know all the different departments. Alex asks if she needs help with the lay of the land but Maggie says she’s got it. Alex reminds her that last night, she called him her right hand man and that she’d be counting on him to help bring her up to speed on some things. Maggie responds that the meetings took care of that. Alex asks what Maggie will be tackling first. Maggie responds that she would like to find ways to help Titan run more efficiently and the wisest areas to invest. Maggie notes that the publishing department stood out to her. Alex says when Sonny put him in charge of that, his first move was making Bella Magazine the focus and talks about growing the business and the brand. Alex mentions that he just turned in the latest advertising budget for approval. Maggie says she saw that but he won’t be needing her approval as Maggie announces she is shutting down the magazine.

Gwen tells Xander that the publication has a very bright future so she wishes Xander would stop second guessing. Xander apologizes and says she’s right that they couldn’t have wished for a better lead story on day one than Brady and Eric’s arrest. Xander says he just really wants the paper to be a success after everything they did to get it. Gwen says she can’t fault him for that. Gwen then gets a phone call, informing her that the numbers are up 20%. Gwen orders a press release and hangs up. Gwen excitedly shares the news with Xander, who calls it incredible. They hug and then Gwen kisses Xander.

Leo tells Stephanie that is not what he expected to hear and asks her to tell him more. Leo asks how she felt when she realized she’d never get to talk to her mother again. Chad warns Leo not to do that. Leo asks if Stephanie can explain how she felt when she walked in to Kayla’s hospital room and realized she was bereft of life. Stephanie threatens to take his phone and stick it as she warns him to just go. Leo tells Stephanie that he’s sorry about her mother. Stephanie tells him to get out so Leo exits. Stephanie then turns back to Chad and asks what the hell is wrong with him.

Alex questions Maggie saying she is shutting down Bella. Maggie is surprised it hasn’t happened sooner because the magazine has been struggling for some time. Alex argues that he’s been working on getting it back on track. Maggie tells him that she’s sorry but the numbers are numbers and by shutting it down, Titan can take a write-off. Alex asks Maggie to give him a little more time to show her what he can do but Maggie says the decision has already been made. Alex questions if she’s just going to let all the staff go without any warning. Maggie says they will give them a generous severance package. Alex asks if Victor is going to sign off on this when Bella was named after his daughter. Maggie declares that Victor doesn’t have to sign off because he’s not the CEO of the company, she is.

Gwen apologizes to Xander for kissing him and says she just got really excited about the numbers. Leo arrives and says he just heard about the numbers being up. Xander says he has to go. Leo questions where he’s going and if he doesn’t want to get out champagne and celebrate. Xander argues that they can’t just sit around and congratulate each other, adding that if they want to keep the numbers up then it’s going to require work and stories that actually matter. Xander decides he will go see if Maggie will talk to him about taking over Titan as he then exits the office. Leo asks what his problem is.

Paulina joins Chanel in the town square and informs her that she just met with Belle, so from here on out, she is their only attorney as she fired the rest of their team. Chanel asks what happened. Paulina responds that they got their behinds handed to them by Sloan, so all of her assets have been frozen and so have Chanel’s.

Rafe tells Jada that he didn’t think their dinner on Valentine’s Day was a date at all. Rafe then admits he didn’t think so at the time anyway which Jada questions. Rafe explains that as much as he enjoyed their evening, he thinks it’s best if they don’t do it again and he hopes that she’s not offended by that. Jada says if that’s what he wants. Rafe confirms he thinks it’s best to not socialize outside of work because he doesn’t any confusion. Jada asks if he means thinking he’s interested in her in a way that he’s not. Rafe says yes even though that’s not exactly the case. Jada then questions if Rafe is saying he’s interested in her. Jada tells Rafe that aside from being her boss, he’s a good friend so he can be honest as she asks if he wants to be more than friends. Talia then arrives at the station, interrupting them. Jada excitedly hugs Talia so Rafe guesses they know each other. Jada then introduces Talia as her sister, Talia Hunter.

Chanel questions Paulina saying that she can’t access any of her money. Paulina explains that she can access some but not much. Chanel calls this insane and asks how she’s supposed to run a business. Paulina calls it temporary and says Belle will file a motion to get it undone hopefully soon. Chanel asks what she is supposed to do in the meantime. Paulina says they will just have to tighten their purse strings as the courts are going to be watching them for any unnecessary expenditures. Chanel asks like what. Paulina tells her that she can start by taking down the Now Hiring sign at the Bakery.

Alex tells Maggie that he gets it’s all about the bottom line. Maggie says Victor wants to honor his daughter’s memory but he also wants Titan to thrive for generations to come. Alex complains that Bella was his baby and asks what he’s supposed to do now. Maggie assures that she will find a place for him. Alex questions where. Xander then arrives with flowers to congratulate Maggie, noting that he can’t think of a more perfect choice as the new CEO. Xander asks if Alex agrees. Alex decides to go get a coffee and leaves. Xander asks if Alex is upset that Victor passed him over for the job which Maggie confirms. Xander relates to that. Maggie says speaking of jobs, she understands congratulations are in order for Xander too, though she admits she was surprised that Jack and Jennifer handed over the Spectator to him and Gwen. Xander claims they clearly thought they had potential and they were right because their first issue was a huge success. Maggie says that’s good for him. Xander notes that he was just telling Gwen that to keep their numbers up, they need the stories, so he couldn’t think of a bigger story than an exclusive interview with Titan’s brand new CEO. Maggie guesses that’s why he’s here which Xander admits. Xander asks if Maggie will grant him the interview or if she will write him off like her daughter did.

Gwen tells Leo about kissing Xander and swears it wasn’t pre-meditated. Leo doesn’t think it’s a big deal. Gwen says it wasn’t a big deal to Xander which is why it is such a big deal to her. Gwen explains that when she first walked in, Xander was sitting there looking miserable and it was obvious that he was pining over Sarah.

Stephanie questions why the hell Chad would tell Leo anything about her mom. Chad apologizes and says Leo was coming at her with all the stuff about Alex. Chad apologizes for blurting that out. Stephanie asks if it was also blurting out when he confirmed that Alex is a man whore. Chad brings up that last night, Stephanie said she was pissed off about that too. Stephanie says she didn’t share that opinion with the media. Stephanie reminds Chad that they work with Titan so it’s their job to protect them. Stephanie questions why Chad would shoot his mouth off to a gossip columnist. Chad calls himself an idiot and apologizes as he shouldn’t have said anything. Chad admits that Leo mentioned Alex and he reacted emotionally. Stephanie tells Chad that he can’t do that with a reporter, ever. Chad acknowledges that it was a huge mistake. Chad admits he doesn’t like Alex and thinks he’s a douchebag, but that doesn’t give him the right to be a jerk. Chad repeats that he’s sorry but admits he’s glad that Alex didn’t get the CEO job. Stephanie questions if that’s what this is about and if he doesn’t want her working with Alex. Chad says no, so Stephanie asks if he’s not trying to sabotage the firm’s relationship with their biggest client because he doesn’t think she can keep things professional with her ex. Chad says he didn’t say that while Stephanie feels it sounds like that’s what he meant. Stephanie suggests Chad figure out how to communicate more clearly since he works in PR as she then walks out of the Pub.

Stephanie walks to the park and bumps in to Alex. Alex says his mind has been on not getting the CEO job. Stephanie confirms that she heard. Alex feels stupid about bragging the way he did. Alex guesses Stephanie must be relieved that she doesn’t have to report to him anymore. Stephanie argues that she didn’t see any problem in them working together and she’s sorry he didn’t get the job since she knows how much he wanted it. Stephanie adds that it’s not like Titan doesn’t need him anymore as she’s sure Maggie is psyched to have him to rely on. Alex responds that she’s unfortunately wrong as Maggie couldn’t care less about what he thinks.

Maggie admits to Xander that she wasn’t a fan of how he treated Sarah but she believed that he loved her and she does believe in giving second chances, so she’s sorry that Sarah didn’t give him one. Maggie adds that now that Xander has legitimate work, she wants to see him succeed so she agrees to give him an interview.

Leo argues that Xander can’t still be pining over Sarah while Gwen argues that he’s still madly in love with her. Leo insists that it won’t last long because when a person is out of sight, they are more quickly out of mind. Gwen disagrees since Sarah is still very much in Xander’s heart. Gwen complains that Xander looked absolutely horrified when she kissed him. Gwen calls herself an idiot but Leo insists that before she knows it, Xander will forget about the woman who got away and focus on the beautiful woman in front of him.

Chanel asks Paulina why she has to take down her hiring sign. Paulina explains that hiring help will cost her money that she doesn’t have right now. Chanel complains that she’s drowning without Allie. Paulina says she’s sorry and they’ll just have to wait until Belle bails them out and then she can hire whoever she wants. Chanel argues that she wanted to bring someone on right now because it may be too late by then. Chanel adds that she’s really great and will probably find another job before then. Paulina questions Chanel having somebody in mind already. Chanel confirms that she does and she’s the perfect candidate.

Jada introduces Talia to Rafe. Talia mentions hearing a lot about him. Jada asks what brings Talia to town. Talia says she missed her big sister and says it’s been forever since they’ve had kickboxing and brunch. Jada wishes Talia called to let her know she was coming so she could’ve booked them a class and a restaurant. Talia says she wanted to surprise her. Jada responds that she can’t think of a better surprise than a visit from her little sister. Talia reveals that it’s more than a visit and announces that she’s moving to Salem. Rafe gets a text and steps out of the station. Jada questions Talia moving to Salem as she thought she was living with someone in New York. Talia reveals they broke up. Talia says she cried her eyes out for a few days but decided that was enough and she needed a new start in Salem. Jada questions it being just like that. Talia feels she doesn’t seem too happy about it. Jada assures that she is, but it’s a big change and asks if she’s really thought this through. Talia insists that she wanted to get out of New York and be with her. Jada reminds her that she will need to earn a living and find a place to live. Talia figured she would crash with Jada but Jada says her place is pretty small. Talia is sure they will figure it out. Jada asks what about a job. Talia reveals that she’s already on it.

Chanel gives Paulina one of Talia’s cookies and she loves it. Chanel repeats that Talia is the perfect candidate for the bakery. Paulina understands why Chanel wants her now but says she’ll just have to be patient. Paulina insists that Talia will understand if she wants the job and then walks away.

Stephanie doesn’t understand why Maggie would shut down Bella. Alex says it was for a tax write-off even though he had big plans for the magazine. Stephanie encourages him not to give up and to try to change her mind. Alex says he already did but Stephanie says he obviously didn’t try hard enough. Stephanie notes that it won’t be easy but it is possible. Alex asks how. Stephanie advises him to spin a negative in to a positive and make Maggie see Bella as a lucrative opportunity instead of a negative. Alex repeats that Maggie doesn’t care about his opinion or his goals as she is the CEO now and has her own goals. Stephanie questions if everything Alex worked so hard for just goes away then. Alex says it’s not what he wants. Stephanie tells Alex that if he really wants Bella, he should fight for it.

Xander finishes interviewing Maggie and says that was terrific as he thanks her. Maggie apologizes for not having time to give him more but asks him to talk to her assistant to schedule a longer interview. Xander says he will. Maggie asks how things are going with Xander and Gwen and if they are a couple again. Xander assures they are not but admits that they did spend some quality time together after he broke up with Sarah. Xander adds that he made it very clear with Gwen that he’s not over Sarah and doesn’t know if he ever will be. Xander says now that Sarah has left town, maybe that will change, but he doesn’t think it’s fair to lead Gwen on. Maggie says she has little sympathy for Gwen after what she did to Sarah, but agrees that he shouldn’t start a relationship when he still has feelings for someone else. Xander congratulates Maggie again and says that of all the people that Victor has put in that chair over the years, she is the best choice yet. Maggie thanks Xander as he exits.

Gwen tells Leo that she told Xander the same thing about focusing on the present. Leo insists that once Xander has the divorce decree in hand, he’ll have no choice but to accept his marriage is over. They talk about the papers getting lost last time. Leo encourages that Xander and Gwen are soon to be his favorite couple, madly in love and making babies. Leo then decides to go check around for gossip and exits the office. Gwen wishes she shared his optimism.

Rafe returns to the station and asks Jada if Talia left. Jada confirms that she went to follow up on a job opportunity. Rafe calls that impressive and a pretty great surprise to find out her sister is moving to town. Jada calls spontaneous decision making Talia’s specialty. Rafe guesses she has some arrangements to make so he will let her get to it. Jada stops Rafe and reminds him that they didn’t finish their conversation about them. Jada then apologizes for putting him on the spot and says nevermind. Rafe then gets a call and reminds Jada that she needs to grab lunch as he steps out again.

Talia returns to Chanel with her application but Chanel says there’s something she has to tell her about the job. Chanel hesitates but then goes ahead and tells Talia that she’s hired which excites her.

Stephanie returns to the Brady Pub. Chad informs her that he just sent her the press release for Paulina. Stephanie thanks him and says she will take a look. Stephanie apologizes. Chad says he’s sorry for letting his personal feelings get in the way of him doing his job. Chad promises he won’t make that mistake again as he cares about the company and her. Chad says they have a great thing going and he doesn’t want to screw that up. Stephanie agrees and holds his hand.

Xander returns to the Spectator office. Gwen asks if he spoke to Maggie. Xander says they set up a proper interview for the weekend but she gave him some quotes to use in the meantime. Gwen asks if they should talk about tomorrow’s paper then. Xander responds that he was actually thinking they could talk about them.

Alex returns to the Titan office, looking for Maggie but finds the office is now empty. Alex sits at the desk again and uses the office phone to call Victor. Alex tells Victor that he was wondering if they could have a chat about Bella Magazine.

Update written by Joseph

Paulina goes over papers in her office and comments on Chanel’s profit margin, talking about how proud she is of Chanel for starting the bakery. Paulina then wonders why the hell the rest of Chanel’s life had to blow up in her face.

Chanel closes the Bakery and takes a seat in the town square as Abe walks by. Abe mentions stopping by the bakery earlier but he couldn’t get in because the line was too long. Chanel talks about how business is booming and today was a record. Abe guesses he’s too late for a bear claw so Chanel surprises him with chocolate chip cookies.

EJ goes to the DiMera Enterprises office and questions what Johnny is doing there and what he and Wendy are up to this time. Johnny claims he just came to ask Wendy to lunch but EJ reveals that he heard them talking about Stefan, drugs, and himself.

In the park, Stefan asks if Gabi is convinced that he loves her now. Gabi says she loves him and missed him so much. Stefan apologizes for how he treated her but Gabi says it wasn’t his fault. Gabi declares that what matters is that they are finally together now. Stefan and Gabi then kiss again until Li walks up and asks what the hell is going on here. Stefan responds that he’s kissing the woman he loves. Li reminds him that Gabi is his wife. Stefan assures Li that Gabi just told him the same thing.

Nicole questions Eric about Sloan being his attorney when he said they broke up and she was furious with him. Nicole asks why Sloan took his case. Eric informs her that they sort of made up. Nicole questions what that means. Sloan then walks up and says it’s exactly what it sounds like. Sloan asks why they would give up the best sex of their lives. Sloan then kisses Eric in front of Nicole. Nicole talks about how Sloan can’t seem to resist kissing Eric in public in front of his ex-wife and asks if she’s marking her territory because of her. Eric reminds Sloan that she has an appointment so Sloan tells Eric to meet at her place tonight and to let himself in because she might already be in bed. Nicole asks if she’s going to read about them in tomorrow’s Spectator since Sloan likes to make their sex life a matter of public record. Nicole asks if Eric feels used or demeaned. Sloan warns her to watch it while Nicole remarks that dignity used to be important to Eric. Nicole asks if Sloan ran it by Eric before going to talk to Eric about the intimate details of their life. Sloan tries to slap Nicole but she blocks it and warns that she invented that move. Sloan mocks Nicole being old. Nicole asks if Eric couldn’t do better than this. Sloan says Eric’s right that she has an appointment. Sloan kisses Eric goodbye and says she will leave Nicole with her memories of her days in the sun. Sloan then walks away. Eric asks if Nicole enjoyed that, but she says she didn’t.

Li argues that it looked like Gabi was kissing Stefan while Stefan claims to him that it was a one sided kiss. Stefan explains that Gabi texted him to meet in the park to talk while he thought they were getting back together, but then she told him about Li’s grand gesture to save their marriage with a six month contract. Stefan says he told Gabi to just run away with him in the name of love but that Gabi was determined to stick to the contract, so he thought his kiss could convince her but that’s when Li showed up. Stefan tells Li that his words did not sway Gabi. Gabi goes along with Stefan’s story. Li questions being expected to believe that she’s turning down the man she loves for him. Gabi claims that a deal is deal so she intends to abide by the contract which is all he can expect for now. Li agrees that it’s up to him to win her back. Stefan jokes that all Li has to do is kidnap and brainwash her, then she’ll forget all the crazy crap he pulled. Li then tells Gabi that he just found something out in the fine print about what Gabi can and cannot do for the six month, like a morals clause.

Johnny tells EJ that after they talked this morning, he did ask Wendy how she thought Stefan was doing and he did came here to take her to lunch but when he got there, Wendy was installing spyware on the computer. Johnny says he started thinking about Stefan, so he told Wendy that EJ was worried about him because of all he’s been through. EJ says he wouldn’t worry about that. Johnny goes back to asking Wendy about lunch but EJ warns them about lying to him.

Chanel tells Abe that the bakery is short-handed since Allie left. Abe tells Chanel that she doesn’t have to stay away because she feels like she has to cover up her feelings to them, when they both know how much Allie hurt her. Chanel says she hurt her too because it all started when she couldn’t really let go of Johnny.

Johnny admits to EJ that he told Wendy that EJ suspects Stefan is using drugs and he asked her if she’s noticed anything because he’s worried about Stefan too. Wendy swears that she won’t tell anybody. EJ hopes not for Stefan and the company’s sake. Johnny promises that he can trust Wendy. EJ guesses he will have to. EJ adds that having Wendy in the loop on this might work to his advantage in trying to help Stefan.

Li informs Gabi that the morals clause stipulates that at any time during their six months, Gabi cheats on him, their deal becomes null and void and the shares revert to him. Li adds that lucky for them, Gabi turned down Stefan.

Eric suggests that moving forward, he and Nicole refrain from judging other peoples’ bad decisions. Nicole says when they were together, she spent a lot of time thinking what it would be like if Marlena was her mother. Nicole says it must be Hell dealing with losing her. Eric complains that he’s exhausted after spending the night in jail. Nicole argues that he can’t be with Sloan because she is bad for him. Eric tells her to give his best to EJ. Nicole complains that Sloan is a terrible person and came here purposely to destroy a young woman’s life. Nicole recognizes that EJ’s done that and more but says she’s a bad person so it doesn’t matter if she’s with EJ. Nicole remarks that she doesn’t know who Eric is anymore by being with Sloan and asks if he does. Nicole feels it’s like Eric is lost at sea and Sloan is the anchor.

Belle joins Paulina and tells her that she’s sorry she’s late as it’s been a busy morning. Paulina says she read the papers and assumed she was helping her brothers out. Belle confirms that she got Brady out on bail, but she left Eric there to fend for himself. Paulina can’t blame her considering how Eric defended Sloan. Paulina asks about Sloan’s lawsuit. Belle says she checked in with the lead attorney and he said it’s been pretty quiet. Belle wanted to talk to Paulina about her retainer and reveals the check she gave her bounced. Paulina calls that impossible. Belle says she got an alert on her phone from the bank. Paulina decides she will call the bank and find out what the hell happened. Paulina calls the bank, who informs her that all of her assets were frozen. Paulina is shocked and argues that she doesn’t even know how that is possible. Sloan then arrives and says she knows how. Paulina questions what the hell she’s doing here. Sloan responds that she came to answer all her questions about her assets being frozen. Sloan then presents a court order announcing that Paulina will need the court’s approval for any expenditures. Paulina argues that it’s her money but Sloan says it’s not anymore, reminding her that she planned to take everything from Paulina.

Eric questions Nicole wanting to set up an intervention for him. Nicole says she’s worried about him. Eric asks if that’s just because he’s a good man and Sloan’s a bad woman. Eric questions Nicole passing judgment. Nicole argues that Sloan is the opposite of everything Eric believes in. Eric shouts at Nicole not to tell him what he believes in. Eric says he lived his entire life by some moral code, but Marlena is no longer on this earth because of Orpheus and Kristen, so he doesn’t give a damn about right or wrong anymore. Eric states that Sloan might make bad decisions but the sex is really good and that’s all he cares about right now and he can settle for that. Eric asks if they are clear. Nicole calls him a shallow jerk and remarks that he has the perfect person to show him the ropes. Nicole tells Eric to have fun tonight and she’s sure she’ll read about it tomorrow as she storms off.

Wendy questions EJ thinking it’s an advantage that she’s in the loop. EJ acknowledges that Johnny is right that it’s a good idea to have someone who works with Stefan be aware of what’s going on. Johnny suggests instead of spying on Stefan, it might be a better idea to just talk to him directly and ask him if he’s using. EJ doesn’t want to take that step until they are sure of the facts, explaining that he doesn’t want rumors at work or board members using it against Stefan. EJ suggests keeping it to themselves since they only have Stefan’s best interests at heart.

Li guesses Stefan is disappointed in how his day is going. Li makes sure Gabi sees the clause in the contract, so she doesn’t slip up and lose her shares and power because Stefan can’t keep his hands off of her. Li warns that even the appearance of infidelity could be disastrous to her. Gabi sarcastically thanks him for looking out for her. Li says he just doesn’t want misunderstandings down the road. Li adds that Gabi already told Stefan to take a hike. Li then walks off with Gabi. Stefan remains feeling dizzy and stumbles.

Sloan tells Paulina that she can’t be hiding her assets or claiming that she can’t pay the means of the 8 figure judgment she’s going to get when the jury rules that Paulina and Chanel are the reason for her mother’s wrongful death. Belle mocks Sloan’s father for being with Chanel. Belle argues that Sloan and the judge are overreaching so she will file a motion to have this undone. Sloan says they are just delaying the inevitable. Sloan warns that when this is done, she will have all of Paulina’s businesses and every last crumb of Chanel’s bakery. Sloan then exits the office.

Abe tells Chanel that in his experience, a marriage doesn’t survive when the man has been possessed by the Devil and it can be hard to find closure. Abe asks if Chanel is thinking of starting over with Johnny now that Allie is out of the picture. Chanel says no because Johnny has moved on with Wendy Shin.

Johnny and Wendy have lunch together in the park. Wendy jokes that they both have families where it’s possible to know when or if someone is telling the truth. Johnny asks if she thinks EJ is lying. Wendy admits she doesn’t know but feels he didn’t confide in them just because he’s worried about his brother. Johnny jokes about the idea of EJ having a hidden agenda. Nicole then walks up and questions what they said about EJ.

Stefan goes to the DiMera Enterprises office. EJ asks about him going to see Gabi and says he’s surprised he’s back so soon, so he asks if there’s trouble in paradise.

Li and Gabi go home. Li notes that Gabi looks angry. Gabi complains about Li laying out the terms of their contract and telling her to stay away from Stefan. Li says he felt she needed to know. Gabi responds that she will not put up with being stalked. Gabi questions how he knew where she was. Li thinks she’s being paranoid. Gabi tells him that they have six months of living together but he doesn’t own her. Gabi warns that a vindictive wife can do a lot of damage to a man’s holdings and career. Gabi tells him to be very careful about how he treats her.

Stefan tells EJ about Li showing up and interrupting he and Gabi. EJ pretends not to be confused and asks who Li is. Stefan reminds him, so EJ claims he’s just overwhelmed by all the numbers. Stefan asks if EJ had any problems on the phone call with the bank. EJ says he had a few problems but he handled it. Stefan says he’s sorry for running out on him and asks to look over the notes. EJ tells Stefan that he thinks he’s figured out that what’s wrong with him is that he’s been pushing himself at the gym and must be dehydrated. Stefan decides he will get them something to drink and they can go over things together, so EJ thanks him.

Abe invites Chanel to join him in going to see Paulina but Chanel says she’s going to stay here and finish her coffee, then she will catch up with them later. Abe says he loves her and hugs her as he then walks away. Chanel then sees a woman frustrated that the Bakery is closed. Chanel gets up and asks if she can help her. The woman asks if she knows the owner of the Bakery. Chanel responds that they are really close..

Nicole guesses Johnny told Wendy about Stefan which he confirms. Nicole reminds him that EJ told him not to. Johnny says it’s okay and that EJ knows all about it. Nicole questions what Johnny thinks EJ is keeping from him. Johnny says he doesn’t know but it feels weird thinking that Stefan is using drugs. Nicole questions what other explanation there is. Johnny suggests that whoever is taking those drugs isn’t doing it voluntarily. Nicole asks what he means. Wendy asks what if one DiMera brother is drugging the other one.

Stefan drugs a bottle of water and then returns to the DiMera Enterprise office to give it to EJ. EJ uses his phone to call the office phone and then asks Stefan to answer it. EJ cancels the call on his phone and when Stefan turns his back to answer the office phone, EJ switches their water bottles. Stefan notes that no one answered so EJ guesses it wasn’t important. EJ suggests they then get to work.

Li tells Gabi that he did not follow her nor hire someone to do it. Li adds that he found out Gabi faked the call to Arianna’s school and reveals that he knew she went to the park because he tracked her phone. Li mentions that Wendy said if he would stoop to that, then he needed to let her go. Li declares that he thinks Wendy is right and they should end their marriage right now.

Paulina calls her lead attorney, complaining about not being told that Sloan froze her assets. Paulina tells him that they are all fired and hangs up. Abe joins them in the office as Belle tells Paulina that might have been hasty. Paulina declares that she doesn’t need them because she has Belle. Paulina then instructs Belle to do whatever it takes to stop Sloan in her tracks.

Chanel introduces herself to the woman at the bakery as the bakery’s owner and offers her a cookie. The woman responds that she actually wants a job since they are hiring which Chanel confirms. She informs Chanel that she is a good baker. Chanel offers her a cookie and says she makes the best ones in the US. The woman disagrees and says that she does. She then pulls out her one from her purse and offers one to Chanel.

Nicole questions Johnny thinking that EJ is drugging Stefan and calls that ridiculous. Johnny asks what makes her so sure. Nicole argues that Stefan is EJ’s brother. Johnny points out that Stefan is also EJ’s competition at DiMera and with EJ, business comes before family. Nicole asks what about the report from the investigator. Johnny says he could’ve made it up. Nicole says he couldn’t have because she was there when he got the report that confirmed it and asks how Stefan’s fingerprints could be on the vial if EJ bought the drugs.

Stefan tells EJ that this is good work. EJ says he spent so much time going over the numbers that his vision started to blur. EJ asks if Stefan found out what deal Gabi made with Li.

Li tells Gabi that if they end their marriage, he will take back his DiMera shares but she will be free to be with Stefan. Li says that after seeing Stefan with Gabi today, he now knows that’s what she really wants and he doesn’t want to stand in the way of her happiness. Li declares that he’s giving Gabi the chance to walk away from their marriage and go with Stefan.

Paulina complains that Sloan is trying to clean her out. Belle comments that Sloan will fight dirty to do it. Abe believes that Belle has this. Paulina tells Belle that if it comes down to protecting her money or protecting Chanel, then she can throw her under the bus because Chanel has been through too much, so she will do whatever it takes to protect her no matter how much it costs.

Chanel tastes the cookie and correctly identifies how it was made. The woman is impressed that Chanel knows her cookies. Chanel says she knows a great baker when she meets one, so the girl asks if that means she’s hired but Chanel says she’s afraid not. Chanel explains that she is a great baker, but she’ll need to fill out an application first, leaving her confused.

Eric gets out of the shower at his room as Sloan then shows up at the door and walks in. Eric thought he was supposed to meet at her place but Sloan says she couldn’t wait. Sloan then removes Eric’s towel, kisses him and pushes him onto the bed.

Johnny tells Nicole that she’s right that if Stefan’s prints were on the vial, then the drug must be his, so he guesses he just didn’t want to believe he could be using. Nicole says they all want to help him, so the best thing to do is just trust EJ to do what’s best for him. Nicole then walks away. Wendy comments that Nicole really made a case that this isn’t some big conspiracy so she guesses that settles in. Johnny says that’s unless Nicole is in on it.

Stefan tells EJ that apparently Gabi holds on to Li’s voting block of DiMera shares as long as she stays married to him for six months. EJ notes that a lot could happen in six months. Stefan smiles as he watches EJ take a drink of his water bottle.

Gabi thinks back to Stefan telling her that they could have it all. Li tells Gabi that she can’t have her cake and eat it too, so he asks what it’s going to be. Gabi responds that she made a deal, so she intends to keep it. Gabi then proposes they at least try to be civil and social. Gabi knows it’s too late to do what Li had planned for the day but maybe they could go to the Van Gogh exhibit. Li admits he would like that very much.

Stefan agrees with EJ that a lot could happen in six months. EJ then asks if at the end of those six months, is Stefan planning on aligning with Gabi to oust him as CEO. Stefan responds that he loves Gabi, but family comes first. Stefan declares that he would never betray his own brother. EJ responds that he feels exactly the same way.

Victor: Hey, son. They told me you were coming. Is there something you want to tell me?

Adam: Well, after giving it some serious thought and discussing it with a few respected individuals, I’ve decided to accept your offer to run mccall unlimited.

Victor: Hmm.

Adam: Uh, I know it may be a little premature, but I know you said you had run into some stumbling blocks about acquiring tucker’s company.

Victor: Yeah, I may have.

Adam: Well, then I would like to offer my services to do whatever’s necessary to remove those issues.

Victor: Glad to hear that. But I assure you, I’ll make the acquisition of mccall a reality.

Adam: Uh, I just have one stipulation.

Victor: Wait a minute. Only one?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] So far. Uh, I want to run mccall as its own entity. No enmeshments with newman enterprises. And I never have to answer to victoria.

Victoria: Devon. Hello.

Devon: What the hell do you want?

Victoria: A — a friendlier greeting than that?

[ Chuckles ]

Devon: Well, I’d give you one if we were friends. Why don’t you call my office and make an appointment like everybody else does?

Victoria: Oh, I just, um, thought I would bypass your personal assistant and just drop by myself. I understand you’re not in the office much these days, which is completely understandable in light of the lawsuit between you and chancellor-winters.

Devon: Alright, I’m not gonna talk about that with you.

Victoria: No, no, that’s not why I stopped by.

Devon: Okay. So, back to my first question. What do you want?

Victoria: I’d like to discuss tucker and the sale of his company.

Ashley: [ Laughs ] I can’t get over that video you sent me of dom tickling the ivories on that little keyboard.

Abby: Isn’t that the most adorable thing you’ve ever seen?

Ashley: Yes. You know, my grandson’s a genius, clearly.

Abby: Oh.

Ashley: Well, seriously. Is there anything he can’t do? He’s gonna grow up and rule the world. Or at least one of his family’s corporations, right? He could be ceo of jabot or newman, chancellor-winters, maybe.

Abby: Mccall unlimited.

Ashley: Yeah, maybe that, too.

Abby: Hmm. What’s going on with you? I mean, I haven’t seen you this happy and excited about the future in quite a while.

Ashley: We’re talking about my brilliant, gorgeous grandson. What do you mean? How could I not dote on him and envision his spectacular future?

Abby: Well, the present’s pretty interesting, too.

Ashley: Honey, anything in particular?

Abby: You’ve been spending a lot of time with tucker recently.

Ashley: Not that much, really.

Abby: And I know you said there was this thing that you were trying to force him to do, but you never told me what that thing was.

Ashley: I didn’t, did I?

Abby: No, you didn’T. So, would you care to elaborate?

Nate: Come on inside. We can speak privately here.

Daniel: [ Exhales sharply ] You know, I’m not sure I should be talking to a man who was eavesdropping on my conversation.

Nate: I can explain.

Daniel: You can start with how we “both want the same thing.” If this has anything to do with acquiring omega sphere —

Nate: No, no, no, this — none of that. This has absolutely nothing to do with business.

Daniel: It’s personal.

Nate: Very. This battle between my cousins — it’s got me worried. And from what I overheard, i gather you feel the same way.

Daniel: So you actually give a damn? I’m just asking because…

Nate: Yeah. Lily’s told you what I did.

Daniel: Betrayed your family. You were a step away from selling out the company because you got your feelings hurt. Am I close?

Nate: Look, I’ll regret what I did to the day I die. It was reckless and thoughtless, and I’ve tried to make amends.

Daniel: It’s hard to come back from something like that.

Nate: But maybe this is a way to repair some of that damage.

Daniel: What are you talking about doing?

Nate: That’s the thing. I need your help. When you have chronic kidney disease.

Additional sponsorship

provided by… when asthma symptoms strike, airways narrow.

Abby: You’re really not gonna tell me what’s going on with tucker?

Ashley: What do you want to know?

Abby: I want to know how he wormed his way into your good graces.

Ashley: Okay, there’s been no worming.

Abby: And if he told you that he’s a changed man —

Ashley: I would say, “show me.”

Abby: Well, you know, the world’s most fascinating man would have to do something pretty big to prove that he’s changed, right? I mean, to say that he’s sorry for all the lies that he’s told, for the scheme that he was doing to try to take over chancellor-winters and jabot.

Ashley: Honey, I just can’t say anything about it right now.

Abby: Well, at least you’re having fun playing games with a man you said that you could never trust. Mom, I am worried about devon.

Ashley: I’m not playing games. I’m worried about devon, too.

Abby: He has a lot of questions that he’s trying to answer right now. Like, is his father being sincere? Should he consider buying mccall unlimited? Mom, please tell me. Do you think that tucker has changed? Devon needs someone that he can believe in. Is there a chance that tucker could be a good, honest man?

Victoria: So, here’s what i know. Tucker wants to sell mccall unlimited and divest himself of everything. He just wants to walk away. But it seems that some person of interest has come in and bought up all of his debt. I suspect that person is ashley.

Devon: Okay.

Victoria: So, my question to you is, did tucker approach you about buying the company and taking control?

Devon: That’s what you came here to ask me? Why do you care?

Victoria: I wonder — are you aware that your father approached me first about buying his company? Y-you didn’t know that, did you?

Devon: Well, why would i believe a word that comes out of your mouth anyway?

Victoria: I have nothing to gain from lying to you, but clearly tucker thought that he did.

Adam: Do you plan on telling me what’s behind that self-satisfied smile?

Victor: Oh, yeah, you want to know? It’s these demands you’re making.

Adam: To keep mccall its own entity?

Victor: That was my idea for you to run the company, as well.

Adam: Well, then we are on the same page. Good.

Victor: I just had to close certain doors to make sure that you realized where the hell you belong.

Adam: You know, jack stuck his neck out to give me that job.

Victor: Jack abbott. Good god, man, how did you ever become involved with that guy? Anyway, what was — what was the final straw?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Are you really gonna make me do this?

Victor: Yeah. Take your time. Sit down.

Adam: [ Sighs ] I was half-assing it at jabot. My heart wasn’t in it, and i realized that I didn’t belong there. So as much as it pains me to admit this, you were right about the job — and about me. Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches

Nate: Look, this is one of the most difficult things I’ve ever been through, causing this all-out war between my cousins. Look, I shook the faith they had in the merger and the future of the company. Hell, in me. Watching the devastation that i created, bearing witness to all that pain. Don’t ask me how I sleep at night because I don’T.

[ Sighs ]

Daniel: Well, you bury yourself in your work. And you think maybe if some kind of good can come out of this, then maybe you’ll be worthy of their love and forgiveness.

Nate: Maybe that’s crossed my mind a time or two.

Daniel: Yeah. I had a feeling.

Nate: Look, I don’t expect lily to forgive me overnight — if she ever does — and it’s probably gonna take an act of god before devon and I could ever get back to where we were before I started this whole damn thing.

Daniel: That still doesn’t answer my question. What do you want me to do about it?

Nate: Help me put an end to this battle.

Daniel: Nate [Laughs] I don’t think —

Nate: Look, I can only get so close, and neither one of them will listen to me. In fact, the only thing they have in common right now is how much they hate me. So I need y– if we work together —

Daniel: Hey, hey. Wait. Wait. Let me just finish painting that picture for you. Um…you convince me to help you, devon and lily, they settle their lawsuit without any bloodshed on either side, they turn to me, they say, “oh, daniel, you’re our hero,” undying gratitude, et cetera, et cetera. And then I say, “wait, no, actually, the person that you should really be thanking is your cousin.” And there’s shock and there’s tears, forgiveness all the way around. Everybody kisses and makes up. And then they throw us this big family-style dinner party. I don’t know. I’m just spit-balling here. Is that what you have in mind?

Nate: I know what I’m up against. If it looks like I’m motivated by a sense of self-preservation, then I own it. It’s a natural human instinct to want to be accepted into one’s pack.

Daniel: Alright, well, let me — let me present you with a more plausible outcome. Um, you do all the right things. Instead of restoring the peace, you actually make things worse. You dig up a bunch of old feelings of anger and betrayal and distrust and you just make the wounds deeper. And then I wind up getting partial blame for helping the most hated guy in the family.

[ Sighs ] Yeah, that’s gonna be a hard pass for me. Um, you can count me out.

Nate: Okay. So, I was wrong, and you don’t care if lily gets her family back.

Daniel: Nate, you can’t put this back together again. Let devon and lily work it out between themselves.

[ Door closes ]

Ashley: I know how complicated this is for devon, okay? And by the way — let’s be very clear about this — tucker never does anything unless he really wants to do it.

Abby: So, now he wants to step up and be a parent? I don’t buy it.

Ashley: Well, honey, it’s not really about you. It’s — it’s about devon.

Abby: Yes, it is about devon. And he’s about to lose the company that he built with his father. He’s estranged from his cousin. He’s about to go scorched-earth with lily in court.

Ashley: I can’t tell you how much I hate to hear about that.

Abby: Imagine how I feel. I have to just sit back and watch it happen. There’s nothing I can do to stop it.

Ashley: Okay. Maybe we just have to have a little faith, okay? Everything’s gonna work out the way it’s supposed to. It’s gonna be okay.

Abby: Devon is a good man. And you know what that means. Things don’t always work out for the good guy, do they?

Abby: He’s already lost so much. He’s lost members of his family. He’s lost faith in his family. Mom, I just — I wish that —

Ashley: I understand you want to fix things.

Abby: I wish I had answers. Do you think that tucker is acting in the best interests of devon?

[ Doorknob rattles ] Or do you think this is some sort of grand gesture to try to impress you?

[ Sighs ]

Victoria: I take it that tucker didn’t let you know that you weren’t the first one he offered his company to?

Devon: No, he made it seem like I was the only person he was gonna approach.

Victoria: Well, of course. You know, please don’t take my word for it. You should ask him yourself.

Devon: Right. You said he took the offer off the table, though, right?

Victoria: Yes, that’s right. After some mysterious entity bought up all of the debt, all of a sudden, mccall was no longer in the market.

Devon: Hmm.

Victoria: Look, the way that he’s been going back and forth and being less than transparent, I don’t blame you for not trusting him.

Devon: Well, I’m just trying to figure out why you care so much that you’d come all the way here to talk about it with me.

Victoria: I have a question for you.

Devon: What’s that?

Victoria: Newman is still very much interested in buying mccall unlimited, and I’d like to know where you stand, just in case I am forced to play hardball.

Victor: [ Sighs ] All I ever wanted is for you to be at a place where you can be happy, where you could grow.

Adam: Well, that’s why I feel like this is — this is the right move for me.

Victor: Yeah.

Adam: I just had an enlightening conversation with sharon. She, uh, helped me find some clarity on a few things.

Victor: What wisdom could sharon possibly impart?

Adam: She told me I need to find something that I’m passionate about, something that I can commit myself to, you know, give me a sense of purpose. And then I realized that is exactly what you were offering me.

Victor: You know, there were some people who warned me that you would never believe that I’m on your side.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Well, there’s nothing I enjoy more than proving people wrong.

Victor: [ Laughs ] Especially when they’re the newmans, right? Son, I’m your father. I know you.

Adam: Dad, thank you for, um, not giving up on me. But, uh, back to the business at hand.

Victor: You mean mccall.

Adam: Mm. Are you certain that victoria is on board with this? She knows about your plan and me?

Victor: Don’t you worry about victoria, alright? Leave her to me. Known as a loving parent.

Lily: Hey.

Daniel: Hey.

Lily: I got your message while I was on a call with amanda.

Daniel: Yeah. She’s doing well?

Lily: Yeah. Yeah, she’s good. She’s excited to sink her teeth into hamilton-winters. Which I don’t know if that’s because she’s motivated or because she wants to make devon pay, but I don’t really care. I just want to win.

Daniel: You know, maybe if you could come to an understanding with your brother, there could be a quick resolution.

Lily: Quick? No. I mean, it’s corporate law. It could take years. But anyway, it doesn’t matter. Let’s, um — let’s sit. What, uh — what’s going on? Is there a problem with the project?

Daniel: No, no, nothing like that.

Lily: Okay. Well, you made it sound important.

Daniel: Well, it is. Uh, it’s about you. Nate, actually. Um, I just thought I should give you a heads-up.

Lily: What is it?

Daniel: He overheard us at society earlier.

Lily: Right. Of course he did. What did he — what did he hear? What were we saying?

Daniel: Hamilton versus winters, uh, you and devon. He was just trying to recruit me to help put an end to the lawsuit.

Lily: He said that?

Daniel: He feels responsible for the original rift between the two of you. Maybe he’s thinking —

Lily: Right, thinking that we will forgive him if he just tries to solve everything? I mean [Scoffs] Of course he would. Of course, once again, he thinks it’s all about the great nate hastings.

Devon: You know, victoria, i have enough problems in my life right now. I don’t need to add tucker to the list.

Victoria: Well, that’s very interesting, but for my own clarification, does that mean that you are not considering the purchase of mccall unlimited?

Devon: Uh, I don’t have anything to say to you about that ’cause we’re not buddies. You literally tried to go after my company not that long ago. Remember?

Victoria: I think we’ve been through that.

Devon: We have, and you’re still denying it, so… you think you can come over here today and try to talk to me about my business dealings? Come on. Tucker isn’t that the only person I don’t trust in this town.

Victoria: I’ve been very transparent with you about this. I want that company.

Devon: Okay. I can’t help you get it.

Victoria: Look, you know tucker’s just trying to use this to score points with you. He just wants to manipulate his way back into your life. You think you don’t trust him now? Well, just wait. If you buy mccall [Chuckles] That’s gonna be very complicated because that company is not a gift. It’s a curse. It’s the complete opposite of what you built at hamilton-winters. So, you just say the word, and I’ll take care of everything. You don’t have to do a thing. I’m pretty sure that that’s what’s best for everyone.

[ Door opens and closes ]

Tucker: Hey, how are you, abby?

Abby: I’ll talk to you soon.

Ashley: I love you.

Abby: I love you. Goodbye.

[ Door closes ]

Ashley: I hope you have good news.

Tucker: I have not heard from devon about my offer.

Ashley: Oh, that’s unfortunate.

Tucker: Yeah, but, uh, I feel like I got my second wind. I dug deep, and I think I’ve found some viable options.

Ashley: I want to hear all about it.

Tucker: Okay. So, what if we made the sale of the company contingent upon large-scale charitable donations to causes that are near and dear to your heart? For instance, um, the future is female, right? So we would — yeah, it is. So we would advocate for girls and young women pursuing careers in the sciences, um, environmental groups. You know, we’d clean up the oceans and that kind of thing. So, whoever bought the company would need to be prepared to educate and beautify the planet because it would be baked into any contract I signed. Only sustainable practices and all that.

[ Both laugh ]

Ashley: You would do all that?

Tucker: Yeah, sure. And more.

Ashley: Just for me?

Tucker: For us, for — for the world, for the — for the universe. I’m trying to think globally, you know.

Ashley: Right. Well, could you maybe just work locally? Please don’t give up on devon.

Tucker: [ Sighs ] He’s inflexible.

Ashley: No, he’s being cautious.

Tucker: Well, what am i supposed to do?

Ashley: You just found a million ways to change the world. You can’t think of one or two to change devon’s mind?

Tucker: There’s only so much one man can do.

Ashley: Yeah, but you’re not any man, are you? You are tucker mccall, right? You go where other men don’t tread. They don’T. Things might get difficult, they might take more time, but you get them done.

Tucker: You’re not exaggerating, are you?

Ashley: I’m not. But then again, I can’t help but think if this was one of your silly business deals motivated by your ego and your greed, it would have been done by sunset. So, maybe you just don’t want it enough. We do it every night.

“The young and the restless”

will continue. What’s the #1 retinol brand

Lily: [ Scoffs ] I mean, the fact that nate is spying on my conversation — it’s like, should I be worried about him again?

Daniel: I don’t think it was intentional, and I doubt he wants to try and use that information against you.

Lily: Well, I mean, he’s done things in the past that i thought he was never capable of.

Daniel: Exactly why I told him it was a bad idea. And I told him he wasn’t involved and he should stay out of it.

Lily: Good. Thank you.

Daniel: But I got to say — and I know it’s none of my business — the guy is hurting over what he almost did to chancellor-winters.

Lily: Uh-huh. He should be.

Daniel: Do you think the crime deserves a life sentence?

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Daniel: Okay. Yeah. No, no, no, I — I will shut my mouth. You’re right. It’s none of my business. None of my business. After — after I say just this one last thing. He sincerely wants to help you and devon find a peaceful resolution.

Lily: Yeah, that’s great. I would like that, too. Everybody wants peace in their family. I mean, all I wanted was for us to work together and build something that we could be proud of. But then, you know, billy walks away. Nate tries to destroy it all. Devon’s now suing me. It’s like, why is this happening?

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

Abby: Studying for a test?

Devon: Hey.

Abby: Hi.

Devon: Didn’t hear you come in.

Abby: Mwah! I had a few minutes before my staff meeting. I wanted to see how you’re doing.

Devon: Oh, yeah?

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: Good. I’m just going over some financials here.

Abby: Oh. For hamilton-winters?

Devon: No. For mccall unlimited, actually.

Abby: Okay.

Devon: Yeah. You got here at the perfect time.

Abby: I love hearing that.

Devon: I could use some fresh eyes on this, if you don’t mind.

Abby: Okay. What is it?

Tucker: Um, do you remember when I filled in for mccall a few years back?

Abby: Yes, when tucker went off the grid in search of enlightenment.

Devon: Exactly. Yeah. And I did everything I can to make sure that the company didn’t fall off the deep end.

Abby: I remember.

Devon: Well, the people that he left in charge ignored all the fixes that I put in place and they fell back into some bad practices and the company’s never really recovered.

Abby: Okay. Well, are you saying it’s not worth buying anymore?

Devon: Well, no, that’s the thing, is even though it’s a mess, it has good bones. And I think that if, you know, there’s the right person leading it, it would just take a few tweaks to cut off the divisions that aren’t operating up to par. And it actually would be pretty valuable and worth something.

Abby: Are you interested in being that right person?

Devon: That I don’t know. But I have been thinking that it’s probably not a good idea to enter into this lawsuit with lily, uh, with having nothing but my hat in my hands.

Abby: Because you could lose and end up with nothing.

Devon: Right. And this would be the answer to that. So, I don’t know. Maybe I should consider buying mccall just ’cause it would definitely be a safety net for me.

Victor: Sweetheart, have you met with devon concerning the purchase of mccall?

Victoria: I have. He claimed he wasn’t interested.

Victor: Oh, really? You don’t believe him, do you?

Victoria: Well, it wasn’t the friendliest of meetings.

Victor: I’m not surprised.

Victoria: I let him know what my intentions are, and he would neither confirm nor deny my suspicions.

Victor: That means we shift into high gear right now. We go after mccall, and once we have it, it’ll remain a separate entity from newman.

Victoria: I beg your pardon?

Victor: You heard me correctly. It’ll remain a separate entity from newman, and adam will be in charge.

Victoria: Dad, you can’t be serious about that.

Victor: You’ve always known that I wanted him to run that new corporation.

Victoria: No, that was when i assumed that mccall would be kept a part of newman. Look, I’ve — I’ve reworked the numbers and what buying it would entail and —

Victor: We keep what’s worth it and we throw out the rest.

Victoria: Exactly. That’s exactly right. We need to get rid of the dead weight.

Victor: And adam will be the ceo of the new corporation. You either accept the deal, or it’s off the table.

And it’s easier than ever to get

your projects done right .

Victoria: You’re using what could be a very attractive acquisition to bribe your son into being beholden to you.

Victor: That is not why I’m doing it. I’m doing this for the sake of my son. This will empower him.

Victoria: Dad, he would never be able to stand the scrutiny if he had to answer to me, and that’s exactly another reason why you’re doing this. You don’t care if the acquisition is profitable or not. You just want adam to feel like he’s the big man in charge.

Victor: The discussion is over, okay? Adam will be in charge.

[ Knock on door ] Come in!

[ Door opens ]

Nate: Hey. Victor.

Victor: Hey, nate.

Nate: Always good to see you. Uh, look, I can come back if you’re —

Victor: No, no, it’s alright. I’m just on the way out, okay? No further discussion about this.

[ Door closes ]

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

Nate: Whatever that was about, I am glad I missed it.

Victoria: My father and i were discussing mccall.

Nate: Any new updates?

Victoria: Dad is adamant about putting adam in charge of the company, which would be palatable if I knew that mccall were gonna be a part of newman and I would be the one making the final decisions.

Nate: But your father has plans of his own.

Victoria: He just informed me that he intends to keep mccall a separate entity, with adam in charge, answering to no one.

Nate: And you’re not having that.

Victoria: Absolutely not. Now, there is no way that I am letting adam get his hands on that company.

Nate: So, what are you gonna do — kill the deal?

Victoria: Oh, no, no. No. No way in hell. Mccall is mine.

Devon: I mean, mccall could definitely be a great insurance policy for me.

Abby: Thank you.

Devon: Yeah. ‘Cause no matter what ends up happening, I’d still have a company, you know? And it would be something that’s established, that I can still build on. But at the same time, I have to consider who’s selling me this company. And why would I trust anything he says at this point after what he’s done? Maybe this is just his way of manipulating me to get back into my life again.

Abby: Hear me out.

Devon: Sure.

Abby: What if tucker means well? What if there are no strings attached?

Devon: I — I don’t know “what if?” ‘Cause that’s never been the case. You know, I — you’re very trusting. I know you didn’t get that trait from victor newman.

Abby: Well, maybe you should get to know victor newman a little bit better — ’cause my dad thinks that people can change and that family is the most important thing. And I just happen to agree with him. So, maybe — maybe you can admit that you’re wrong about that?

Devon: Yeah, okay.

Abby: Okay?

Devon: I’m wrong about that. You’re right.

Abby: You’re wrong about that, and then maybe…

Devon: Hmm?

Abby: …You could admit that it’s possible that you could be wrong about your own father?

Devon: It’s possible? Uh, well…I did find out that he offered to sell his company to newman before coming to me.

Abby: How’d you find that out?

Devon: ‘Cause your sister came over here and told me. And she wanted to know if he tried to sell it to me yet.

Abby: So, she said that he tried to sell it to newman first?

Devon: Mm-hmm. And then she made it very, very clear that newman is very interested in buying it. She’s something else, I’ll tell you.

Abby: Okay, I do love my sister, devon.

Devon: I know you love your sister. I know. I love my sister, too.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Devon: Whether or not she’ll ever believe that again is another story.

Abby: But the question is, what’s victoria’s next move?

Tucker: I think you know how much I want this. Even I can’t control a human heart.

Ashley: Well, the tucker mccall that I used to know would never let anything stand between him and what he desired.

Tucker: So, you want me to move heaven and earth?

Tucker: Wouldn’t be the first time. You’re actually gonna let your child dictate how the rest of your life unfolds?

Tucker: I just don’t want to force the issue onto him.

Ashley: Think of another way. I mean, you’re not trying to ruin devon. You’re trying to help him. Selling mccall to him is a game changer, not just for devon, but for you… for your grandson… for the future.

Tucker: And what’s the future for us? Is there an us? I see —

[Sneezing]

Lily: I just was so excited when we started this journey. You know? I really, really thought that we could build something that my dad and katherine would be proud of.

Daniel: Something you could all be proud of.

Lily: Yeah, I thought we would build a legacy, you know, something that would outlast all of us.

Daniel: Big dreams.

Lily: [ Exhales sharply ] Yeah. I guess too big.

Daniel: No. No. That’s garbage. Look, you’re running a multimillion-dollar company. You are loyal. You’re focused. And if you’re too damn polite to say it, I’ll say it for you.

Lily: Say what?

Daniel: You’re giving 110% every day, into the night. You are living to make this thing a reality. I’m right, right? Right. I’m right, aren’t I?

Lily: Yeah. Close.

Daniel: So it makes sense that you would expect at least that much from your family and the people around you. You know, they’re the ones that are supposed to be there fighting with you, you know, for the things that you want and they’re supposed to be there to support you. So, I don’t want to hear that you failed or that you failed anyone else. You didn’t fail the company. Everyone around you —

they failed you.

Devon: Victoria is trying to salvage the deal that she had in place before tucker pulled out.

Abby: But why did tucker kill the deal? It doesn’t make any sense. He had a sure thing. Did victoria say what turned him off?

Devon: If she knew, she didn’t tell me. But I get the feeling that she thinks it’s tied to whoever bought tucker’s debt.

Abby: So, there may be a connection between tucker and the person or entity who owns his debt. Interesting. Well, does that make you want to make a deal? Or does it make you want to walk away?

Tucker: Okay, you just, uh — you just tell me what it is you want, and I’ll make it happen.

Ashley: Be careful what you wish for.

Tucker: You say the word.

Ashley: Look, I want this to work. I want to know that you are sincere about wanting to heal things with devon. I want you to be a man that he can believe in and a man that he can trust. And I want you to help him love that beautiful little boy of his. And I really want to stop thinking about all of this because I’m terrified that i feel anything for you.

Tucker: Okay. [ Chuckles ] You’re in a conundrum, aren’t you? But I tell you — oh.

[ Cellphone pings ]

[ Gasps ] Unbelievable.

Ashley: What?

Tucker: This is good. It’s from devon — “let’s talk.”

[ Chuckles ] It’s so perfect, the timing of it. It’s the universe.

Ashley: What do you mean?

Tucker: You — the kiss. You kissed me, and it was so — it was life-changing and world-shaking and — and powerful enough to change devon’s perspective. He could feel the vibrations, you see, across —

Ashley: Well, it wasn’t that good, not really.

Tucker: You’re a liar. It was good. We just took a step in the right direction, and now the world is spinning the right way for me.

Ashley: [ Laughs ] You’re weird.

Tucker: Yes, I am. But I’ve — I’ve found a moral obligation, you see, to, uh —

[Laughing] To do good for others.

Ashley: Really?

Devon: Yes. Sacrifice. I’m gonna sacrifice self-interest to help those i love. Yeah, things are falling into place for me, baby. And for us and devon. You don’t feel that?

Ashley: No.

Tucker: Eh. Don’t worry. You will.

Ashley: Mm.

Tucker: Change is coming. Before this whole thing is through, you’re going to see that we are absolutely meant to be together.

Ashley: Get out of here.

Tucker: Yai-da-da-ee

ya-da-da, da-da-dum

Ashley: [ Chuckles ]

Tucker: Doo-da-da-dai

Victoria: I guess you haven’t heard. I always get what I want, one way or another.

Nate: What about compromise? So both sides get what they want and no one feels like they’ve lost.

Victoria: Well, you know, that might work on the playground, but that just don’t work in the corporate world. The corporate world is messy. It’s ugly. It’s very unforgiving. It’s like in a family. You know, these issues — they’re constantly changing. You have to remind yourself this is a marathon. It’s not a sprint. You have to pace yourself. You have to have fun with it and let them think that they’re winning. And then you go in for the kill. Do you trust me?

Nate: You know I do.

Victoria: Good. You just put yourself in my hands, nate. I have everything under control.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Door opening ] Mom, are you okay?

[ Knock on door ] Hi, esme.

[ Door closes ] Do you have a few minutes to talk? No. Why not? Elizabeth baldwin told me the truth about your son. You don’t really care about me. None of you can be trusted, and I am done listening to your lies. Spencer. Hey. Trina. Hi. Hi. Liesl? All men are schwein. Go away. Didn’t you hear me? Leave. Oh, I heard you loud and clear. I also happen to know how much you enjoy telling me off. So have at it. Okay. I am taking off the blindfold. Now… you’re alive, too? Well spotted. It’s a miracle. Wha– why didn’t you tell me

he was alive? Because you could have gone straight to victor. You needn’t worry. I know better. If victor found out that there’s a recording of me confessing to setting you up, I’d be seen as a liability — probably killed. Probably? It’s good that you’re clear on that. Well, if — if you’re alive and anna’s alive, does that mean lucy coe’S…? No, no, no, no. You’re here to give us information, not ask us questions. We’ll tell you what you want to know once we decide how useful you can be. Why is it you work for victor? How close are you to him? We need to know everything. Marshall. Tell me the truth. Do you think that there is any hope…

[ Elevator bell dings ] …For me and curtis?

[ Elevator doors close ] I’ll be in dr. Samuels’ office. Yeah, go ahead, pop. Lead the way. No need for you to come while I check in, son. Stay. Talk.

[ Sighs ] Maybe you two have something to say to each other. Not here. Not now. Curtis, please don’t go!

How you doing? Are you okay? Sorry. You go first. No, um, you go first. You really shouldn’t be here. What if you see your mom? I was nervous about possibly running into her, but, um… that doesn’t matter. I wanted to be here for you. Um, I got your little brother a cool baby blanket. Ohh! I hope you don’t mind. No, thank you. Oh, my god. That’s very thoughtful. Thank you. That’s really nice. I don’t really know when I’m gonna give it to him, though. Isn’t he going home today? Is he all right? Yeah. Yeah, baby’s fine. Trina, things have gone from bad to worse. What happened? Esme said that my father kept her prisoner at wyndemere. What? I actually had to jump off a turret to get away. I-I could have been killed. I could have lost my baby. And you didn’t say a word about any of this. I’m sorry. I only recently found out about this. Yes, but why should I believe you? I can’t trust anyone. All of the cassadines are horrible. Nikolas, spencer, uncle victor. They’re all trying to take ace away from me. I am not a cassadine. Yes, but you’re — you’re spencer’s grandmother, so I know you’re on his side. I am also your baby’s grandmother, and I am on his side. We do have things to say. I’ll be in dr. Samuels’ office. Good to see you, portia. What is it we need to discuss? Well, first of all, you haven’t been home since the wedding. Um… where you been staying? I’ve been at the metro court hotel. Come home, curtis. I can stay in the guest room if you prefer.

[ Scoffs ] I don’t prefer any of this. And as for me coming home, I’m sorry, portia, but I’m just not ready. We can’t just keep avoiding each other forever, curtis. And can you answer me one thing?

[ Sighs ] Do you and trina want to have a dna test to see if you’re really father and daughter? Where is felicia scorpio? She couldn’t make it. Why don’t you take a seat? Alright. So… we need to understand your involvement with victor and what it is that you might know. Uh, I don’t know how much I can tell you. Why you? Let’s start with that. Why would he want a mole in the mayor’s office? Well, at first, it was all about laura. He wanted me to keep tabs on her. Why is that, do you suppose? He wanted, I believe, to keep her from focusing on him? He told me to undermine her whenever possible. And was he more interested in certain information? He wanted to know if the pcpd was investigating him, but other than that, he didn’t give me any details. How convenient for you. We’re not partners. Victor made that quite clear. I work for him and I do what he tells me to do. And since he promised to back my political aspirations, I had no idea that he would be killing people that got in his way. You know, that’s not very shrewd of you, failing to vet someone like victor when you’re about to become his flunky? Come on, robert. Eileen was lured in by the promise of more. Weren’t you? More power, more money. It was never about money. Victor said he believed in me. It was only until I started working for him that my eyes were opened. What did you see? Mom, are you okay? You’re not sleepwalking, are you? No! No, I fell asleep. I was waiting up for you, and I just — I fell asleep. I’m sure seeing me sleeping on this couch brings back bad memories for you, but I can assure you, I’m not in that dark place anymore. Okay. I’m glad to hear that. And I’m glad you waited up for me. Yeah, why? What’s up? I’m going to play soccer for stanford.

[ Laughs ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Both laugh ]

I don’t know what game you’re playing, but I’m not interested, victor. I’m not playing games, liesl. I’m just offering myself as a target for your anger. You know how better you feel after cussing me out. Find someone else who despises you. I just want to be left alone to try and eat, something nearly impossible to do these days with a lump in my throat. I do so just as a matter of health and to keep up my strength. I truly am sorry about your daughter’s death, liesl, but you must understand how blessed you’ve been. You speak of blessings? You’ve enjoyed the love of your children. Valentin came into my life for a very short while, and — and we hardly had a loving father-son relationship. In fact, we hardly had any relationship at all. Then, before I could repair the damage, he was taken from me. Not the same hell that you’re experiencing, I grant you, but it’s — it’s hell nonetheless. I suppose I can feel sorry for you for that much. Then perhaps we can comfort each other, however slightly. At least let me keep you company until scott gets here. He’s not coming. Oh? No? Where is he? I don’t know and I don’t care. The only person I want to talk to less than you is scott. I got the e-mail this morning. Yeah, they — they gave me the scholarship.

[ Gasps ] They want me to start this spring quarter so I can work out with the team and be ready to play in the fall. No! Oh, my god! Oh, my god!

[ Laughing ] Oh! I can’t believe it! Oh, wow! I am so proud of you. Thank you, mom. But what’s up? You waited up for me. What’s going on? Esme’s remembered? No. Esme claims that elizabeth baldwin confessed to helping my father. Cam’s mom… helped your dad hold esme prisoner? And you think that’s true, don’t you? Yeah, I can see that my dad would do something like that. And I think that my father had enough influence over elizabeth to put her in that position. Though, when my grandmother was out here, she didn’t say anything to that effect. But I don’t know. Maybe my grandmother and uncle victor don’t know about this yet. Can you call her? She’s in there with esme right now. Maybe she’s finding out.

[ Sighs ] Either way, I really hope that my grandmother can get through to esme and to help her see reason. Reason about what? Esme’s lawyer filed a petition. She wants to take the baby back to prison with her. Have I ever given you any reason to believe that I was lying to you? No, you’ve… been really good to me, especially when I was giving birth to ace. I couldn’t have gotten through it without you. I was really glad to be there for you, and I’m happy to be here for you now, and I promise you, I will make sure that you are treated fairly. Why do you care about me? Everyone says that I-I was a horrible person. You’re the mother of my grandchild, and, sweetheart, I think I have a pretty good idea of what you might be feeling right now.

[ Voice breaking ] I was your age when I had my first baby, and I was frightened and trapped and surrounded by enemies. You were? What happened? I ended up being separated from my son for many, many years. Which is exactly what’s going to happen to me. No, honey, you haven’t even stood trial yet. So much can change between now and then. Yeah, but ace should be with me. I mean, I’m his mom. Yeah, I know. Uh, sweetheart, you have to think about what’s best for your son. Ask yourself, is prison really the best spot for a baby? What have you witnessed working with victor? He’s cold. He’s ruthless. I’m sure he’d have no qualms about killing me if he found out I was talking to you. Then you better make sure he doesn’t find out. Do you know who actually shot lucy coe? Holly sutton. How did holly come to work for victor?

[ Scoffs ] I have no idea. I’ve never even seen her with him. I only know how pleased he was when he found out that anna was charged with lucy’s shooting. Pleased? I mean, how did you know? One night, he told me how he loved the idea of using holly against you and anna. So victor confides in you, does he? This relationship is personal as well as professional? Sometimes. How personal?

[ Scoffs ] If your taped confession goes public, you will never see the light of day again. You understand that? When does victor confide in you? When we’re in bed together! Trina’s not ready to take a dna test. Then you’ve spoken to her? Yes. How is she doing? She’s not responding to any of my calls and my texts, which I completely understand, but I’m still worried about her. Trina’s going through a lot nowadays, portia. I know. I just want to see how she’s — you know. What was said between us will remain private. Of course. It’s just a little information would be comforting right now. Trina’s strong. You know that. Thankfully, she has a lot of support from me and taggert and josslyn, my dad — hell, even spencer. That’s good. It’s good that she doesn’t need me. Trina will always need her mom. Thank you for that. I gotta go. I’ll think about coming home.

[ Voice breaking ] I will do anything to fix what has happened between us.

Because, if so, I understand. Applying for the scholarship is completely different than actually getting it. No! No. Obviously, I’m going to miss you. We all will. But I am so happy for you to go. You worked so hard for this. You deserve it, and you’re gonna be such an asset to your school. Academically, athletically — okay, okay. So then what’s wrong, mom? Can we talk for a minute? I did something. Something I-I deeply regret and I need to tell you about. Okay. Um… ever since my run-in with esme on the docks, I’ve known where she was, and I kept it a secret. What? Why would you do that? I thought I was doing the right thing, and by the time I realized it was wrong, it felt too late and I couldn’t come forward. Okay, hold up. Hold up. Y-you knew where she was? Where — where was she?

[ Sighs ] Nikolas kept her at wyndemere. She was locked in a room in the north tower. Victor: Well, well. The unlikely lovebirds have fallen out. Oh, come on, do tell. What was the breaking point, hm? The horrible wardrobe choices or his abysmal table manners? Oh, come on, liesl. Throw me a crumb. You and baldwin on the rocks? I’m beginning to feel better already. I’m not surprised. Sadistic narcissists are always amused by other people’s suffering. Well, I won’t put mine on display for your sordid entertainment.

[ Chuckles ] Why are you grinning like an idiot? Ah, there’s the feisty woman I know and admire back again, the liesl who spits fire and never backs down. Oh, come on, you have to admit, that feeling of adrenaline pumping again is a lot better than slipping into the pit of despair, isn’t it? Yes, I suppose so. But you’re familiar with that pit. I’m sorry you lost your son, victor. I’m sorrier that you didn’t get to fulfill that relationship. So am I. Thank you. Was valentin’s body recovered? Yes, it was, but I’m having trouble getting the french police to release it to me. Ach so. Don’t you worry. I won’t rest until I can bring my son home. You’re sleeping with victor? Off and on, for months.

[ Scoffs ] It was casual. Two consenting adults, and all that. But lately, victor’s been…distant. Nothing my father ever does is casual. Everything is strategic. When did things change? After the explosion that destroyed the necklace that victor wanted. Mnh. I’ve never seen him so angry. Did he ever tell you why he wanted that necklace? He said he needed the necklace to find something. Find what? Oh, I don’t know. Yeah, you do. Think. What has he told you, exactly? One thing stands out. He said that the necklace would lead him to…

[ Sighs ] …Somewhere. A-a place he was looking for. I can’t get over esme being held prisoner at wyndemere. That must be why she was in the harbor on new year’s eve. She came all the way from spoon island on her own. Yeah. She’s a survivor, alright. Do you think she always knew that ryan chamberlain and heather webber were her parents? I mean, that’s — that’s a lot to survive right there. Considering that she was only at boarding school in paris because I was there, I think that she knew about ryan for a while. What are you talking about? Ryan told ava right before commissioner scorpio shot him that ryan and esme had been working together. That was the whole reason why she was in france, was to get close to me. Our entire relationship was a setup.

[ Clears throat ] She had instructions from ryan to get close to me and to widen the gap between me and my father and drive us apart. Looking back on it, she manipulated me beautifully from the very beginning. She was reeling me in, while at the same time encouraging me to get revenge on my father, hoping that she would drive ava and my father apart. I am so, so sorry, spencer. That is truly awful. Everything that she has told me from the very beginning has been a lie. I feel you. It’s the worst.

[ Footsteps approach ]

Cameron. I just — I-I don’t get it, alright? The police suspected esme of being the killer, and they were looking for her everywhere, and you just knew where she was? Why didn’t you just call them and have them handle it? I wanted to. I did. But nikolas convinced me that we were protecting the baby as well as everyone else. And for a period of time, there were no more hook attacks, so we thought we were doing the right thing.

[ Sighs ] Until officer cabrera was killed, and then we realized it couldn’t be esme. And why didn’t you call the police then? I really — I really struggled with it, but I was in too deep. I didn’t want to go to jail and leave you guys. And then esme showed up with — with amnesia, and a part of me thought, well, there’s no reason to come forward. That would have been the easy way out. So, yesterday, I went to the police and I told them everything, and they gave me an immunity deal. Do you think you can ever forgive me? Cameron, talk to me. Just tell me what you’re feeling. Let me explain what we found. You were concerned with the genes that can be indicators of schizophrenia. Right. Right. I know that there are — there are 10 genes that the scientists have linked to the disease. It’s also possible to have schizophrenia without those gene mutations present. Doctor, you — you don’t have to beat around the bush with me. I’ve lived most of my life with this diagnosis, so, come on, give it to me straight. How many of the genes do I have? Your test results show that you do not have a single gene mutation that would indicate schizophrenia. We need to know more about this place that victor’s hoping to find. What else can you tell us? Only that victor’s been searching for it for years. And he believes that the necklace is the key to finding it? Yes. But he never said how or why, just that now that the necklace is gone, he’s back to square one. This is good. But it’s not enough. We need more. What else can you tell us? I-I don’t have anything else. Well, maybe you can get victor to give you something else. How about a little bit more pillow talk? Are you suggesting that I sleep with victor to get information? No, we are not suggesting anything. However, your prior relationship with him might get him to open up. How do you propose I do that? Well… I want you to listen to what I tell you very carefully. Guard: Excuse me, mayor collins? Laura: Yes? Ms. Prince, arrangements have been made for your transport to spring ridge this evening. So soon? Yes, ma’am. The orders just came in. What about my baby? The infant is going with you.

[ Exhales deeply ] Trina. Did you come here to — to see me? No. I’m here for spencer. Oh, I — yes, I see. Of course. Um, congratulations on your baby brother. Thanks. Go talk to your grandmother. I’ll be fine. You sure? It looks like she needs to talk to you. There’s a lot of that going around right now. Does that mean that you have something to say to me?

Please. I, um… I talked to dad. My real dad, my, um — my always dad, no matter what. I-I-I know what you mean. And, yes, no matter what, marcus will always be your dad. He’s amazing. I can’t believe he’s not more upset at you not telling us the truth. Mm, well, your father is a good man. I’m just sorry that he had to rise to the occasion in the first place. So am I. I, uh, know that you spoke to — to curtis and, um — and don’t worry, he didn’t share anything. It was all private. I just didn’t want you to think that I was keeping something from you. Again. That’s right. That’s right, again. Your slideshow for the post-impressionists. Tell me, how did it go? Please, I’ve been dying. What cézanne work did you decide to use? Mom… we’re not there yet. I’m sorry. I understand, I just… love hearing about you and your life and everything that’s going on, and I-I guess I’ve been missing it a bit. But I did think I heard a “yet” in there, somewhere? Does that mean

maybe? We’ll see. I’ll take it.

[ Sighs ] Well, I gotta get out of here. Gotta get back to work. But, um, it was really good to see you. Mom? I miss you, too. Doc, I’m just trying to wrap my brain around what you just said. I have no indicators, as in zero? That’s what the test results show. How is that possible? M-my dad’s been taking medication for decades. Are you saying he doesn’t have schizophrenia? I’m not saying that. I’m not a psychiatrist. We’ve spoken about how testing for schizophrenia has come a long way since you were diagnosed, and there is much about genes and gene mutation we still don’t understand. That’s a lot of qualifiers, I know. But looking at those tests, you’re saying the person in those tests, he’s not at risk for schizophrenia? No more than anyone else. Do you think that you were able to get through to esme? Does she understand that the baby is going to be better off with me? I tried, spencer. Oh… but, unfortunately, elizabeth admitted to esme that your father held her captive at wyndemere for months, so now she is wary of all cassadines. Okay. But that is my father, that’s not me. All I want is what is best for my little brother. Okay. I think I managed to convince her that I care about the baby, I want what’s best for the baby, and that she can trust me. Which is why I’m really hoping that we can find an arrangement here where esme is not cut out entirely. Uh, no, that is never going to work, grandmother, because of my father. Esme is never going to believe that there is a situation or [Stammers] A scenario in which the baby is better off with me, so we’re going to have to take this thing to court. Spencer, I was really hoping you wouldn’t say that. Okay, look, I need you to know something. I will never stop looking for an amicable solution. Amicable? Yes, for everyone involved here — you, esme, and even your father, when he comes back. You think that there’s such a thing as an amicable solution when it comes to esme? It is a fight that that woman wants, so it’s a fight that she’s going to get. So I’m going to go to the nursery and I’m going to see if they’ll let me hold my brother one more time before he is stripped from me. Okay, wait. There’s something you should know. Esme and the baby are being taken back to spring ridge tonight. Is that your dinner? I had a late lunch. So are you going to just sit there, staring at me disapprovingly all evening, or are you going to tell me what scott did or didn’t do to get you to finally come to your senses? He lied to me.

[ Chuckles ] That surprises you? Scott chose someone else over me. He put someone else’s needs above mine and my britta’S. Well, not only is that foolish, it’s unforgivable.

[ Sighs ] So, it seems that you and i are both destined to a solitary evening. Unless, of course, we keep each other company. That will never happen. Scott’s misstep can’t compare to everything you’ve done to me. If you think I’ve forgotten, then you’re a fool. I assure you, I am not. You will never touch me again, victor. I’d rather be alone. The decisions we make now will affect this baby for the rest of his childhood. If we alienate esme now, we set in motion a cycle of hearings in family court. There’s nothing more we can do right now. Hi. Hi, baby. No one expects a new mother to have all the answers, but ask for help if you need it. Thank you for being so kind to me. I understand I was horrible to your daughter. You’re obviously a very kind person. I bet you’re a great mother. I hope I can be that for my child, too. I’m just doing my job, esme. Let me check on your release papers. Hi, ace. I missed you. You remember me? I’m your mom, yeah? And you’re my ace. We’ve been through a lot together and we’re kind of a mess, but we’ve got each other, and nothing is gonna change that. I promise to protect you with my life.

I don’t know what to think, mom. It’s a lot to process. I mean, I-I get that you think that esme is dangerous and shouldn’t roam the streets. I wouldn’t want her to be, either. But the way you guys went about the whole thing, it’s just — it’s a lot, and I can’t believe I had no idea that you were dealing with all this. You couldn’t have known. I worked very hard to keep it from you. And I am so, so sorry for letting you down like this, especially on a day when you should be celebrating this major milestone in your life. You can feel however you want about this. If you have questions, will you just come to me, and I will answer them honestly? I’ll let you know. I just — I need to think about this, alone in my room. Mom? I love you, okay? And I — I am proud of you.

[ Exhales deeply ] It must have taken a lot of guts to admit that to the police. You’re a good person. I don’t know how I got so lucky to have a son like you, but I’m really glad I did. Thank you for still believing in me. Victor said that luke was making his life difficult. Yeah. And then he killed luke for the ice princess, without knowing that luke had already started to cut the diamond up and sell off key pieces. And then when victor examined it, it didn’t have the coded messages that he was looking for. Which led him to the necklace made from diamonds cut from the ice princess. And thanks to robert, we have the diamond and the codes. Which are obviously some kind of coordinates to this place that he desperately wants to find. We’re gonna figure it out. Together. Sorry we quarreled. Want to make up? I’ll be damned.

[ Chuckles ] Maybe — maybe portia was right. Right about what? She’s been suggesting I might not have schizophrenia.

[ Sighs ] Could I have been misdiagnosed all those years ago? And if so, why? Everything okay? You guys look upset. Esme’s going back to spring ridge tonight. She’s taking my brother with her. Already? Ace is coming with me. For now. Will the baby be warm enough? It’s cold outside. He’s just going down to the transport van in the parking garage. Let me see that. He’ll be fine. Maybe you should, um, take this with you. No, thanks. You know, uh, it might be good to have an extra one around. You never know.

[ Ace crying ] Thank you. Hey, it’s okay. Laura, um, you can visit us at spring ridge, if you’d like. I would like that. I’ll see both soon. Say “bye.” Say “bye.”

[ Ace fussing ]

[ Chuckles ] It’s okay. It’s okay. I’m so sorry, spencer. Maybe she’ll come and — she’ll let you visit her, too. No. My baby brother is not going to be in there for long, and I’m going to make sure I’m going to do everything in my power to keep that kid away from that lunatic.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 The profit margin. Oh, Chan now baby, you’re making your mama so proud of you starting a business with nothing but some recipes and a cookie sheep. Now just look at what you’ve accomplished. Oh, oh. Why in the hell did the rest of her life have to blow up in the poor girl’s face?

Hey, Abe , I hate yourself. Hey, you know I, I stopped by the bakery earlier. You did. I, I didn’t see you. I couldn’t get in. The line was too, Now that’s what I would call a morning rush. You’re the morning rush. That turns into the lunch rush. That turns into the afternoon rush. Well, business is booming. Yeah, it is.

I usually don’t close until I run outta stuff to sell. Actually, today was a record. Well, guess I’m too late for my bearclaw. Yeah, you are too late for a bearclaw . But how do you feel about chocolate chip cookies? I thought you said you were clothes. Well, I always save a little something sweet for my special customers.

It’s like you

I feel like I’ve stumbled into a clan dust time meeting of co-conspirators. Uh, two Johnny. Okay. All right. No paranoid much. I just came to ask Wendy if she wanted to go to lunch with me. Oh, really? Where were you thinking of going? We hadn’t gotten that far yet because I didn’t hear you talking about the pub versus buddies burgers.

I heard you talking about my brother Stephan, and drugs and me.

I’m convinced that I love you. And I love you too. God, I have missed you and I, you. I’m sorry for all the ways I mistreated you. Oh, don’t apologize. It’s not your fault. Look, what matters is that we’re together now. Finally, finally,

what the hell’s going on?

Again, what the hell do you think you’re doing, Lee? What I am doing is I am kissing the woman I love. May I remind you that that woman is my wife? No, you really don’t need to do that because in no uncertain terms, Gabby just told me the same thing.

Sloan, is your attorney Sloan Peterson know of any other Sloan? Well, you told me too. Broke up and she was furious with you. She was. Then why did she take the case? We sort of. Sort of what is that supposed to mean? Exactly what it sounds like? Why would I give up the best sex of my life and why would he?

Isn’t that right, baby? Ah, Eric, I, I think your lawyer is a bit taken with you. I mean, she can’t seem to resist kissing you in a public place in front of your ex-wife. Wait, what? You don’t think it’s because I’m here? Do you? You don’t think she’s marking her territory? Do you sprain her scent like a feral cat?

A young feral cat. Hey, do you have an appointment? That’s right, Eric. I do my place tonight. Let yourself in. I might already be infant tramp. So am I gonna read about tonight’s mom in tomorrow’s spectator? I know she likes to make your sex life a matter of public record. I mean, Eric. Mm. It is so big of you to not feel, oh gosh, what’s the words I’m looking for?

Used or demeaned? I mean, it’s quite surpris. Actually, cuz Dignity used to be important to you. But she did run it by you, didn’t she? I mean, she didn’t just go to that little weasel, Leo Stark and Bray about the intimate details of your life without talking to you first. Did she? I mean, she didn’t act like a high school quarterback, regaling in locker room with stories of doing the dumb cheerleader bitch.

Oh, ooh, ooh. Careful counselor. I invented that move

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

You invented that when? When the earth was cooling. Oh. Oh dear. I’m sorry. Was that an insult? Like you drew blood by pointing out the fact that I’m older than you. Ooh, what a witty thing to say, Eric. Really? You couldn’t do better than this. Eric here. You’re right. I have an appointment

I’ll leave you with your memories of your days in the sun. Okay. Bye-Bye.

Did you enjoy that, Nicole?

No. No, Eric, I didn’t.

It didn’t look like she was telling you she was married. It looked like she was kissing you. Believe me, Lee, when I say that, that was a one-sided kiss. Really? Yes. You see, Gabby texted me. Meet her here to talk. And I was like, Baba Booie. This is the first day of the rest of our new life together. And then she got here and then she was like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Stop the clock. And she told me about the, the grand gesture that you made to, to save your marriage. Right. It was a simple contract, basically you promising her your demaris shares in exchange for, for six months. And forced cohabitation. And I gotta tell you that that is one of the most romantic things I have ever heard in my life.

And despite that, I said to her, screw the contract, run away with me. You know, in the name of love. But she was adamant and determined to stick to the. And that’s when I mistakenly thought that the arter of my kiss could convince her to renig on her side of the agreement. And that’s when you showed up in the nick of time, as it were.

Oh, no, Lee, Lee, Lee, you had nothing to worry about because as much as I hate to admit it, as you can see, my words did not sway. A bit, Stephen. I don’t like to be jumped and I don’t like it when a man doesn’t listen. When I say no,

am I supposed to believe that because of the contract, you’re rejecting the man that you moved heaven and earth to get back. For me, a deal’s a deal. Okay? I signed that contract and I intend to abide by it. And, and listen to me. If you want me to extend at the end of six months, you better stop acting like a.

You’re saying I overreacted. I’m saying I’m abiding by the contract. And that’s all you can expect for now.

You’re right. You are holding up your end of the deal and it’s up to me to win you back. You know, leave for what it’s worth, dog. I mean bell you gotta do is maybe just kidnap her and brainwasher and then maybe chauffer. Forget all the crazy crap you pulled about abiding by the contract Gabby. In the spirit of openness, I want to tell you something that I just found out.

Something in the fine print and what’s that? Just a little cosal about what you can and cannot do over the next six months. Kind of like a morals clause.

Okay. All right. The, the, the thing is, after what we, you and I talked about this morning, I, uh, I did ask Wendy, you know, how she thought Stefan was doing, and I did. come here to take her to lunch. Uh, but then when I got here, she was installing some spyware on his computer, not on my own. Stefan knew I was going to, right?

Yes. Um, and, and anyway, that just got me thinking a little bit about Stephanie. And so I did, I, I, I, I, I told her that you were, you know, worried about him, about Stefan. Worried about him? Well, yeah, cuz of, you know, all he’s been through, just worried in general. Well, I wouldn’t worry about that. Great. Uh, so then you want to do, uh, the pub or, or, or buddies, burgers.

However, you should worry, both of you about lying to me.

I haven’t seen you much around home. Oh yeah, I’ve been pretty busy with the bakery. We’re shorthanded since, since Holly left. Since Holly left. Chanel.

I’m afraid I’m going to, I’m gonna put my foot. Go ahead, Abe, please just say, say what you’re thinking. You know, you don’t have to stay away because you feel you have to cover up your feelings around us, especially your mom. And we both know how jolly hurt you. I heard her too. Her hooking up with Alex was a nail in our coffin, but it all started when I couldn’t really let go of Johnny.

So you told Wendy about my concern that Stephanie is using drugs. Well, like I said, I’m worried about him too. I just asked Wendy, is she seen anything? Yeah, I swear Mr. Deir, I won’t tell anybody trying to, well, I hope not for Stefan’s sake. For the. Look Dad, you can trust Wendy. Okay? I promise. Well, I’ll have to, won’t I?

But on the other hand, having you in the loop on this matter might be something that works to my advantage. Your advantage in trying to help my brother a morals pause. It stipulates that if at any time during the six months we are still, wed you. Commit adultery. Our deal becomes null and void and those shares revert to me.

But lucky for us, you turn down your ex-husband.

How about this Nicole? New rule. Moving on. As they say, we need to keep from judging other people’s bad decisions.

You know, when we were together, I spent a lot of time thinking about what it would be like if Marlena was my mother. And you know, I thought it would be heaven. It was so, it must be hell dealing with losing her. Listen, I’ve spent the night in jail and I’m really exhausted. Okay? Listen, Eric, you, you cannot be with that woman.

She is bad for you. Give my best ej No wait. She is a terrible person. She came here purposely to destroy a young woman’s life. And I know, I know, I know, I know EJ did that and more. But look, I’m not a good person, so it it, it doesn’t matter if I’m with ej, but you, you mean with that woman. I, I just don’t know who you are anymore.

Eric. I mean, do you. It’s like you’re lost out at sea and she is the anchor.

Hi. Sorry I’m late. Busy morning. Well, I read in the papers the mess your brothers are in. I assume you were helping them out. Oh yes. Well, I was helping Brady out. I got him out on bail, but, left Eric there to fend for himself. Hmm. I can’t say that I blame you considering the way he defended Sloan Peterson trying to slew us into oblivion.

Oh, by the way, where do we stand on that? Ah, actually I checked in with the lead attorney at the firm that you hired for your case, and he said it’s been pretty quiet. Hmm. No news. Good news. Right. Um, while we’re on this subject, uh, I wanted to talk to you about my retainer. It seems like there was a.

Problem with the check that you gave me. What would that be? It bounced. What? Oh, that is not possible. Okay. Well, I got this alert on my phone, uh, from the bank. You know what, I’ll call the bank, find out what the hell, apple, oh, uh

oh. Hello? Uh, hello. Yeah, Regina. Yeah, this is Paul. No. No, I haven’t. I haven’t checked my messages yet up, but I was what? What do you mean? All of my assets were frozen? I don’t even know. I don’t know how that’s even possible. Hmm. I do.

What the hell are you doing? Again? I came here to answer all your questions about your assets being frozen and to give you this,

it’s a court order. From this day forward, you’re gonna need the court’s prior. For any and all expenditures. That’s my money. Not for long. It isn’t like I told you before, I’m gonna take you for every last cent.

So why you decided to set up an intervention? Prevent me from making bad decisions. I’m worried about you. Why? Why? Because I’m a good man and Sloan is a bad woman. She’s a Jezebel who’s trying to corrupt me. When have you decided to start passing judgment? She is the opposite of everything you believe in.

Don’t, no, do not tell me what I believe in. I’ve lived my entire life. Or some moral code. I know I was there. Yeah. Well, my mother, who is the greatest person that I have ever known, who is no longer on this earth anymore because of Orpheus and Kristen Amira, who aren’t worth the powder to blow them back to hell where they belong.

I don’t give a damn about right or wrong. Song, if she’s bad for me, makes bad decisions. You know what? The sex is really good, and that’s all that I really care about right now, and I can settle for that. Have we got it? Are we clear? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We’re clear. Okay. You have a new vocation now. You’re gonna be a shallow jerk and God only knows that you are the perfect person to show you the robes.

You know what? Have fun tonight. I’m sure I’ll read about it tomorrow.

You think it’s an advantage that I’m in the loop. I don’t say this often enough. For Johnny was right. You never say that. Actually, it’s a good idea to have someone who works with Steph and be aware that there might be a problem. You know? I don’t know. I don’t know. Maybe instead of spying on him, it could be a good idea to just talk to him directly.

Don’t ask him if he’s using perhaps down the line, but I don’t wanna take that step until we’re sure of our facts. I don’t want rumors in innuendo flying around the office, and I don’t want board members using it as ammunition against Stephan. I think we should keep what we know to ourselves. Because we all know that we only have Stephan’s best interest at heart.

Hey, are you all right? Fine. I would imagine he’s a little disappointed at the way his day is going. Did you find it clause 2.6 on marital duties? Yes, Lee, I found. I don’t mean to keep harping on it, but I think it’s only fair that you know the contract and everything that you signed so you don’t, you know, slip up.

I mean, it would be a travesty to lose all those shares and all that lovely power because that one can’t keep his hands off you and. With the stakes this high, even the appearance of infidelity could be disastrous to you. Well, thank you for looking out for me, for looking out for my best interests. I just don’t want there to be any misunderstandings down the road.

But like I said, you already told him to take a hike even before you knew the consequences, and I have to. This contract is turning out to be a capital idea, shall we?

We can’t have you hide in your assets claiming that you don’t have the means to pay the eight figure judgment that I’m gonna get whenever the jewelry comes back. Ruling that you and your tramp daughter are the reason for my mother’s wrongful death, right? So if Chanel is a tramp, then what’s your father?

A predator or just a sad academic cliche? Look at it. This. This is like a dress rehearsal for your life as a popper. You do know, counselor, that you and the judge are overreaching here. Don’t worry, Paul. I will file a motion and have this undone. I’m just delaying the inevitable. When this is done, I’m gonna have all of your houses, all your businesses, in every last crumb from your daughter’s baker.

You know, it’s been my experience that a marriage doesn’t survive when the man has been possessed by the devil. It can be hard to find closure. Tell me about it now. Now that alley’s out of the picture. We thinking about starting over with Johnny.

Actually, no. He’s moved on with Wendy Shin,

you know? Hmm. I think you and I have something in common. Yeah. The love of Ancho. We both have families where it’s impossible to know when or if someone is telling the truth. Do you think my dad’s lying? I truly don’t know, but I do have a strong feeling that he didn’t confide in us just because he is worried about his brother.

Are you implying that you think my father might have a hidden agenda? What is this about ej?

You were going to see Gabby, weren’t you? Surprised you back so soon. Don’t tell me there’s trouble in paradise.

You seem. Such insight. You just spelled out the term for the contract and put me on alert to stay away from Stephan, a fellow you needed to know. Oh, and thank you for that. Now I’m gonna tell you what you need to know. I will not put up with being stalked. I don’t follow. Oh, you literally did follow. How did you know where I was?

Were you tailing me? Did you have some guy do it for you? I think you’re being paired and I think you’re being insufferable. You asked for six months, you got six months. That means we live together, not that you own me. And yes, to be clear, we are still legally. But let’s, let’s remember that history teaches us that a vindictive wife can do a hell of a lot of damage to her husband’s financial holdings and the trajectory of his career.

So if I were you from now on, I would be very, very careful about how you treat me.

And Lee showed up all sorts of hilarity ensued. I’m sorry, Lee. Lee Shin Gabby’s husband, he’s worked with us for years. . Oh, I’m sorry. Uh, I’m kind of, I’m kind of overwhelmed by all these figures. Ah, those are the letters of credit. Uh, yeah. So, uh, how’d the phone call go? Any problem. I admit I got a little confused, but I handled it.

I no doubt that you did. I’m sorry that I ran out on you like that. Let me take a look at those. Maybe that’s a good idea.

I think I’ve figured out what’s wrong with me. I’ve been pushing myself with the gym lately and I think I might be a little dehydrated. Ah. Tell you what, why don’t I grab us something to drink. We can go over this together. Sounds like a clap. Thank you. More than welcome.

Well, I am going to go meet your mom. You wanna cut? Uh, actually no. I’m, I’m gonna stay here and finish my coffee and, uh, I’ll catch up with you later. Okay, good, good, good. I love you. Now I’ll do, and I love you

Damn it.

Can I help you? Uh, I hope so. Um, do you know the owner of the bakery? Um, let’s just say she and I are really close.

Oh, Johnny, you told Wendy about Stephanie, didn’t you? Yeah. But your father asked you not to it. It’s okay. Right? He, he knows all about it. He’s fine with it. What do you think your father’s keeping from you? I don’t know, but it, it feels a little weird. Okay. I, I have a hard time believing that Uncle Stephanie is using drugs, but you’re the one that found the vial in the office.

So what other explanation is there? Maybe whoever’s taking those drugs isn’t doing it. Volunt. What do you mean? What if one Demer brother is drugging? The other one?

I told Karen to hold out. Cole, would you mind getting that? Please? No

step.

Hello.

I guess it wasn’t important

shall get to work you.

Well disclosure, I didn’t follow you, nor did I hire someone to. I found out that you faked that call to Ariana School. I knew you were in the park because I tracked your phone. Jing one said that if I stooped to that, then I needed to let you go. And I think she’s right. I think we should end our marriage right now.

How could you not see this coming? You, you told Bell just this morning everything was quiet. Some Peterson freezing all of my assets that is not quiet. And you could imagine how much fun it was to hear it coming from her and, and not my lawyers who are charging me an arm and a leg on an hour when he faces us.

Well, you not anymore. You’re all fire. Well, uh, that might have been a little hasty. I don’t need them. I’ve got you. You do whatever it takes to stop Sloan Peterson and attracts.

So you are the owner? I am. You want a cookie? Uh, no. Actually what I want is a job You guys are hiring, right? That’s right. Um, you’re a baker. Mm-hmm. and a good one. Well, me too. Go ahead, have a cookie. I make the best damn chocolate chip cookies in the continental us. Uh, I don’t think so because I do. Mm-hmm.

actually, here have one.

You think your father is drugging? That’s ridiculous. What makes you so sure his sterling character? Stephan is his brother. He’s also his competition at Dera with dad. Business comes before family. Okay. Then what about the report from the investigator? Could have made it up? No, he didn’t have, because I was.

I was there when EJ saw the report and it said that Stephen’s fingerprints were on the vial. So if EJ bought the drugs, then how could Stephan’s fingerprints be on the vial?

This is good work. I spent so much time going over those numbers. My vision started to blow. I can see where that would happen. So did you find out what deal Gabby made with.

You mean I’ll take back my Demer shares and you’ll be free to be with Stephan after seeing him with you today. I, I now know that that’s what you really want, and I don’t wanna stand between you and your.

I am giving you the chance to walk away from our marriage, and

that woman is trying to clean me. And she will fight dirty to do it. You know, honey, I believe Bell has this bell. If it comes down to saving my money or protecting Chanel, throw me under the bus. Paul, I know. No, no, no. She’s my baby girl and she’s been through too much. I will do whatever it takes to protect.

No matter how much it costs,

you made this mm-hmm. . And if you like those, just wait until you taste my double chocolate Macarons. Mm. You used Madagascar bourbon vanilla extract. Baked them for eight minutes at 3 75. Wow. You really know your cookies, huh? Mm-hmm. . And I know a great baker when I meet one. So does that mean that I’m. I’m afraid not.

I’m confused. You just said I was a great baker. You are, but don’t need to fill out an application first.

Hi. Hi.

I thought I was supposed to meet you at your place. I couldn’t wait.

Yeah, you’re right. You’re right. If Fiff Stefan’s Prince are the ones on the vial, then the, the drugs must be his. I guess I just didn’t want to believe that he could be using. Look, we all wanna help. And the best thing to do is just trust EJ to do his best for him.

Well, she, uh, really made a case that this isn’t some big conspiracy, so I guess settles it unless Nicole’s in on it apparently. Gabby holds on to Lee’s voting block of Damara shares as long as she stays married to him for six months. Lot can happen in six months.

You can hear it all. What’s six months between captains of the universe? You too know I love you. Right back at you. Gabby can’t have your cake and eat it too. What’s it gonna be?

I made a deal and I intend to keep it. I see. But I, I do have a proposal. We’re listening. We’re in this for six months. Right? Let’s at least try to be. Social. I mean, I know it’s probably too late now to do most of the stuff that you have planned for today, the feeding, the ducks, the picnic, but maybe we could go to the Vango Exhibit

I’d like that very much.

That is true. A lot can happen in six months. Mm. And at the end of those six months, are you planning on aligning yourself with Gabby to aby as close to you? I love Gabby, but family comes first. I would never betray my own brother. I feel exactly the same way.

Sheila: Okay, so what is this exactly? Liam? He finally got you to doubt me? Our relationship? Is that– is that what’s happening here?

Bill: No, no, no. Like I said, I told him that I trust you. You wouldn’t play me. You’re smarter than that. You know who I am, what I’m capable of. You’re dancing with the devil, sheila.

Hope: Wait, so your dad threatened to do something to sheila if she ever crosses him?

Liam: Yeah, pretty much.

Hope: So, that sounds like the old bill.

Liam: I know. Nothing like a homicidal threat to bring back thoughts of warmer, gentler times. But still, just so, it’s so, it’s off. There’s something off about–

Hope: Do you think sheila is still manipulating him?

Liam: I=- see, I don’t know because my dad’s talking like he’s the one in the driver’s seat.

Hope: I guess katie and mom rejecting him did more damage than we thought.

Liam: Well, no, because they’ve rejected him before and he didn’t turn into this, right? So something, something’s different and I don’t know what it is. I just… I just hope one day my dad comes back to us.

Thomas: Brooke, I understand your concern about hope, but that’s not what this is. I’m not trying to manipulate the situation or put myself back into hope’s life. Like, I was as taken aback as you are by steffy coming and asking me to help with the line, but the line is dying and I could save it.

Brooke: There are bigger things at play than hope’s line. You hurt her, thomas. More than once. How can I trust that you’re not gonna hurt her again?

Brooke: Oh, gosh. I’m sorry, taylor, I am. I’m not sure if I can trust your son again.

Taylor: No, that’s fair. It is. I mean, trust is something that thomas knows he has to earn, but he’d like the opportunity to do so.

Brooke: I’m just really afraid of what could happen if hope lets you back in.

Thomas: If she doesn’t let me back in, then steffy’s gonna shelve the line. And I know you don’t want that.

Brooke: No, of course I don’t want that. The line means everything to hope. It would be devastating.

Thomas: Then let me help. I have poured myself into this line. It means so much to me. I want to bring hope’s vision to life. Give me a chance to preserve the line. Give me a chance to redeem myself. Can you do that brooke?

Liam: Hey, you know, we don’t have to talk about this anymore. I mean, we’ve got so much going on with douglas. And now with your line being in jeopardy, maybe we should focus on–

Hope: I’m worried about bill too. And you know, I was hoping that something would snap him out of it and– and make him lose this blind faith in sheila.

Liam: God, we’ve tried everything. We’ve tried berating him. We’ve tried pleading with him. For whatever reason, my dad is just dead set on his relationship with her. And if there is something that’s gonna wake him up, like, I got nothing. I have no idea what that could be.

Sheila: I know exactly who I’m dancing with and what you’re capable of. It’s what drew me to you in the first place.

Bill: And it’s what drew me to you. I’ve given up almost every relationship in my life for you.

Sheila: And I’m aware of that. I’ll never be able to repay you.

Bill: I don’t need you to repay me. I just need you to be open, honest. No secrets. I need your love, your total commitment and your loyalty. With the freestyle libre 2 system,

Liam: I don’t know. I hope soon he opens his eyes and just and does whatever it takes to get sheila out of his life and into prison where she should have been this entire time instead of talking about how much he loves her. It doesn’t make any sense. I don’t get it. And I need answers. Like, I need them.

Hope: Well, then go get them.

Liam: I mean, I was literally just over there and I got nothing, so.

Hope: Well, I mean, it’s always worth another shot.

Liam: Really? I mean, you really think because there’s a lot going on here with douglas and hope for the future. I just feel like maybe you need me here for moral support, if nothing else.

Hope: I– I will be fine, I promise. Your dad needs you. Besides, I– I actually have to go back to forrester creations, but we will talk later, I promise.

Liam: Okay, okay.

Hope: Okay.

Liam: Wish me luck.

Hope: Luck.

Liam: Like a lot of luck. Like I’m really gonna need it.

Hope: A lot of luck.

Taylor: Brooke, I can see how difficult it is for you to believe thomas and– and if you– if yowalked out thatoor righnow, I would complete understand.E:Ut it’s clear that you are not ready to give thomas another chance and um, we’ll respect that.

Thomas: It’s true.

Brooke: So, you don’t see me as the enemy anymore?

Thomas: Look, therapy has taught me to target the source of my trauma and that’s not you.

Brooke: What if you think I’m in the way of ridge and taylor’s happiness? What then?

Thomas: I love my mother. I’m always gonna choose her. But my father was the reason that he left our family. It was just easier to blame you than to deal with the things I was dealing with. I don’t know how I ever could have gotten here without therapy. I really– I really want to be a better person for all of you, but I really want to make you proud, mom.

Taylor: I am already proud, thomas.

Thomas: I want your forgiveness. And I promise that I’m gonna be a better man, to be a leader for this family, for hope for the future, and most importantly, douglas. So, can you allow me the chance to show that I’m trustworthy so that hope can trust me too?

Sheila: I don’t know what liam said to you. You don’t need to question my loyalty. You changed my life, you saved it. You… you made me feel loved and cherished and that’s something I could have only dreamt of.

Liam: All right, I gotta talk to you again. Alone, please.

Sheila: Of course. I will give you guys some time together, alone.

Liam: Very kind of you.

Bill: You even make it to the first stop sign?

Liam: Yeah, I did, but then I– then I realized I love you and I don’t recognize you. So, I don’t know what’s going on here, dad, but I’m not leaving until I find out.

Bill: I already told you.

Liam: Yes, I know you’ve already told me. You were lonely and you found solace in the worst person on the planet. Let me ask you this. If katie or brooke had taken you back, would you be with sheila right now? See, you’re not living the life you wish you were. So how can you– how can you stand there and tell me that you love her? This isn’t a coffee. It’s a trophy.

Thomas: You know how much I care about hope.

Brooke: But how many times have you hurt her, thomas?

Thomas: Too many. I’ve hurt her over and over again. I have broken her trust again and again. But your daughter is one of the most special people I have ever met. And everything that’s great about her is exemplified in her line. It’s– it’s– it’s so special and important, and– and people need it in their lives. So, please let me save her line. I owe it to her.

Taylor: Hope.

Thomas: Hey, hope. I was just, um, I’m doing what you asked, apologizing to your mother and begging for her forgiveness. Please don’t let the line go, hope. It’s too powerful. It’s too important. People need it in their lives. So, come on, let’s bring it back to life. You can make a real impact.

Bill: You have your own life to worry about, liam. I hear that hope for the future is dying. Douglas is living with steffy. Shouldn’t you be worrying about your own family?

Liam: You’re my family. You are. Listen, dad, I know you’re tired of being berated.

Bill: And yet here you are.

Liam: Yeah, well, you know what? You’re my dad and I love you. And we’ve been through hell and back over the years and I’d like to think that’s brought us a little bit closer.

Bill: It has.

Liam: Okay, then help me understand because if you’re in your right mind and you’re not being manipulated.

Bill: We’ve gone over this.

Liam: Yes, we’ve gone over it and it doesn’t make any sense, okay? Sheila’s an awful person. She’s done dangerous, terrible things.

Bill: So have I.

Liam: No, not– you’re not like her. You’re not a monster. A bully? Yeah, a raging narcissist, absolutely. But you’re nothing like her. Look at me right now, look at me. I’m your son, right? What am I doing? I’m here fighting for you. What do you think sheila’s son is doing right now? He’s fighting to protect his family from her because she’s human poison and she almost killed them.

Bill: That will never happen again.

Liam: Okay, but the fact that you even have to say that shows how ludicrous this whole situation is. Dad, I’m not– I’m not here to lecture you. I just need to understand. How can you love sheila carter? How?

Bill: You know who I am,

what I’m capable of.

You’re dancing with

the devil, sheila.

[ Cell phone ringing ]

Sheila: You shouldn’t be calling me.

Deacon: Then why’d you pick up?

Sheila: You know bill is here with liam right now and liam is trying his damnedest to prove that I’m playing him.

Deacon: Well then, I guess you really can’t talk.

Sheila: Oh, deacon.

Deacon: Look–

Sheila: No, there is nothing to talk about. What we did was crazy. Dangerous.

Deacon: It was also hot and sexy.

Sheila: Why are you not grasping what could happen if bill found out about us?

Deacon: I’ve got a pretty good idea what would happen. But I can’t stop thinking about you. And I bet everything that you can’t stop thinking about me either. I’m sholeh and I lost 75 pounds with golo.

Thomas: The numbers are tanking. If we don’t do something soon, it won’t matter how great the designs are.

Brooke: I don’t need to remind you that I used to run forrester creations. I know the importance of the bottom line and the legacy of hope for the future.

Thomas: Then, you understand that we need to do this. I could save the line.

Brooke: Mm-hmm. You could. I do believe that. But you changed the course of my life. You sabotaged my marriage. And I will never forgive you for that.

Thomas: I understand. I’m sorry.

Brooke: I’m not finished. Yes, you have done some terrible things, thomas, but you are an amazing designer and I couldn’t think of anybody better but you to fill that space for hope for the future. But my real concern is my daughter and the obsession that you’ve had with her.

Taylor: Okay, I’m just gonna jump in here. I would never support my son in this if I thought for one second he still had an obsession with hope. I hope as your friend, you believe me.

Brooke: I do believe you. But I want to believe thomas.

Thomas: Brooke, I’m– I promise, I’m turning the page. Let me prove it to you. All of you.

Brooke: Okay, well hope, for this to work, you’re gonna have to trust thomas 100%. And I’m not sure if you can do that or if liam will accept this. But, I think he means it. I think thomas is being sincere. It’s just your decision. Ultimately, thomas working at hope for the future comes down to you. It’s your decision and yours alone.

Sheila: Of course, I can’t stop thinking about you, but I have to. We can’t do this, not anymore. We can’t be in each other’s arms ever again.

Liam: How? How can you love sheila carter? Make me understand it. I mean, I get it. I– I know that you feel let down by katie and brooke, but to turn to sheila right after? So what is it? Is this a reaction to that? Do you love sheila the way that you loved katie and brooke?

Bill: It’s different.

Liam: Okay. I’m gonna take that as a no, it’s not love. Not really. So, what is it then? Self inflicted punishment? Revenge against katie and brooke for hurting you? Whatever it is dad, it’s not worth the pain that you’re causing. Take off the damn necklace and send her ass to prison.

Bill: I got her out for a reason.

Liam: Oh, my god, I can’t hear that anymore. You won’t tell me the reason. So, what’s the point? I can’T. I tried, I tried, really. But I don’t know what this is. It’s not love.

[ Knock on door ]

Chelsea: One second.

Adam: Hi.

Chelsea: Hi. What are you doing here?

Adam: Uh, I came to check on you. I was just, um… oh. It’s like you were expecting me.

Chelsea: Oh…yeah, I was just making a little lunch. If I knew you were stopping by, I would have set a place for you.

Adam: Uh, looks a little crowded there. Connor’s at school, right?

Chelsea: Yeah.

Adam: Mm. So, the actual place setting is for, uh — let me guess — billy?

Chelsea: I know you dislike him, but you don’t think he should be allowed to eat lunch?

Adam: I think there’s a whole lot of nice restaurants he could get a lunch in genoa city. I don’t know why he’s got to come here.

Chelsea: Adam, things are going well for me. I’m making progress. I’m putting in the work. Billy has been there for me every step of the way. Okay? He’s a part of my life. So please leave your bad attitude at the door.

Adam: Some people say my bad attitude is the best quality i have.

Chelsea: Adam, I’m serious. I don’t need any of your negativity surrounding my friendship with billy.

Adam: It’s not the friendship that I’m worried about. I’m guessing it’s gone past the “we’re just friends” part.

Chelsea: Maybe it has.

Sharon: Flowers and chelsea’s favorite pastries. You must be headed upstairs.

Billy: I am, yeah. She’s making lunch. You know, I don’t want to show up empty-handed. That would be in poor form.

Sharon: Well, look at you, billy abbott. When did you become so thoughtful?

Billy: [ Chuckles ] It’s a box of pastries and a grocery-bought bouquet of flowers. It’s not a big deal, sharon.

Sharon: Well, it is often the small, thoughtful gestures that speak volumes.

Billy: I feel like there’s more to that statement.

Sharon: I think it’s really admirable, the way that you have stepped up for chelsea. You have been instrumental in her reclaiming her life.

Billy: But…?

Sharon: I do worry. Obviously, the bond between you two is growing stronger.

Billy: Yeah, it is, but isn’t it supposed to?

Sharon: Yes, ordinarily. But you two came together under extraordinary circumstances, and chelsea has made great stride in her recovery, but she’s still in a fragile state, billy.

Kyle: Hey. Did you work from home this morning?

Summer: I did.

Kyle: Sorry I didn’t wake you. I went into the office early to conference with milan, and after my late night last night, it feels like I haven’t seen you in forever. What’s wrong?

Summer: Do you really want to know?

Kyle: Well, when you say it like that, I’m not so sure anymore.

Summer: I’ll tell you what’s wrong. Sally freakin’ spectra.

[ Sighs heavily ]

Sally: I ran into summer yesterday…and it was pretty uncomfortable.

Nick: [ Exhales heavily ] You told her?

Sally: Everything.

Nick: Everything?

Sally: Everything.

Nick: You told her all of it? You’re pregnant. It’s adam’S. We’re still together.

Sally: Mm-hmm. Yeah. All of it. I don’t know. I-I’m sorry. Really, I just thought it would be a good thing. But she just accused me of creating chaos wherever I go.

Nick: Sorry she said that to you.

Sally: Yeah, well, the worst part is she’s not wrong. I mean, this whole thing is a mess. (Phyllis) oooh, hearts

Sharon: I don’t want to overstep, billy.

Billy: I know you don’T. Look, you’ve been nothing but respectful towards chelsea throughout her recuperation. And, uh, it’s obvious you come from a place of concern.

Sharon: Yes, I do. And I’m not chelsea’s therapist, but I do have some thoughts.

Billy: Well, I always appreciate your input. You’ve always been a big help. So, don’t stop now.

Sharon: What if you don’t like what I have to say?

Billy: I’m still gonna listen. Look, you’re a trained professional, okay? I’m a fool with some flowers and some — some baked goods. But we’re both concerned about chelsea, and, uh, the big difference being you actually have the experience to help.

Sharon: Okay, so, from my objective point of view, I do worry about her dependency on you. I know that you’ve made a deep commitment to helping her get through this crisis, and you have lived up to that and more. But I’m here all day. I see how often you come through here to go up and check in on her. And I imagine your relationship has gotten pretty close.

Billy: We’re good friends. Maybe a little bit more, but i feel like that’s a natural progression.

Sharon: Of course.

Billy: Look, sharon, I would never do anything consciously to jeopardize chelsea’s progress.

Sharon: Well, it doesn’t have to be conscious in order to be harmful.

Billy: So, you think our friendship is hurting her?

Sharon: I think that you are too close to the situation to be aware of any of the potential dangers. She’s still in a very vulnerable state, billy.

Billy: Yes, but she is getting better.

Sharon: How much of that is because you’re around? We all know that a new romance is enough to buoy anyone’s mood.

Billy: That’s a good thing, isn’t it?

Sharon: Ordinarily, yes, it can, but…it’s almost like it’s artificially lifting her spirits. And chelsea needs to get through this on her own. It’s the only way that she’s going to come out the other side stronger than she was before. I’m not saying that her dependency on you is causing her to regress. It’s just something for you to be aware of.

Daniel: Hey. How you doing?

Lily: Good. How are you?

Daniel: Oh. I’m good. I’m good. Thank you for meeting with me.

Lily: Of course. So, thankfully, jill has agreed to move forward with omega sphere even while we get everything at the company sorted out.

Daniel: Right. Good. Well, I owe you for that. I know you’ve been fighting for this, so thank you.

Lily: Well, of course I have. I believe in you, and I believe in the project. And that’s why I feel like, no matter what has happened with heather and no matter how you feel about it, this venture is way too important to walk away from. You’ve put too much time and energy into it.

Daniel: I’ll keep that in mind.

Lily: Daniel, I mean it, okay? This is not just a beautiful gift for your daughter. You’re creating something impactful. And it’s a way to reinvent yourself, just like heather and lucy told you.

Daniel: You know I can be a little slow on the uptake sometimes. Plus, I needed to do some wallowing after they left. So, thank you for being patient with me.

Lily: Yeah, of course. I mean, look, it was kind of like hanging out with eeyore, but, you know…

[ Both laugh ]

Daniel: And I’m glad that you can ridicule me for it. It just makes me feel so much better about myself.

Lily: Good. Good. Laughter means that you’re moving on.

Daniel: And, again, I’m grateful to you for that.

Lily: Well, you know who i owe a big thank-you to. Chelsea.

Adam: Well, good thing you didn’t invite me to lunch — because after learning your relationship with billy has progressed beyond friendship, I’ve lost my appetite.

Chelsea: Trust me. I know about your opinions on billy.

Billy: Listen, chelsea, come on. It’s not an opinion. It’s a fact. Billy abbott is a self-serving walking train wreck who cannot possibly have your best interests at heart. You deserve so much better than that.

Chelsea: Is that a fact?

Adam: It’s absolutely a fact.

Chelsea: Why can’t you just let go of this animosity and be happy for me that I’m in a good place? You know, I’m doing all the work, and good things are finally happening for me.

Adam: But, chelsea, I am happy for you. And it’s actually because you are doing the work that you need to be worried. You have to keep your guard up.

Chelsea: Why do you say that?

Adam: From experience. Billy abbott is toxic.

[ Knock on door ]

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Come in!

Billy: Is everything okay?

Adam: Perfectly fine.

Billy: I was actually asking chelsea.

Adam: Yeah, but you’re concerned about me being here, which is absurd. My son lives here, and chelsea is his mother, so — I know you understand the concept of co-parenting.

Billy: Adam, can you stop talking? I was asking chelsea if she’s alright, and she can answer for herself.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] I used to pre-rinse dishes cause my old detergent

Chelsea: Alright, everybody calm down. You’re in my house, so you got to abide by my rules. Rule number one is you have to be kind and respectful to one another. If you can’t do that, you got to leave, both of you.

Billy: I got no problem with that.

Adam: Sure. We’re all friends.

Chelsea: You never did tell me why you stopped by.

Adam: I just wanted to check in. I wanted to see how you’re progressing. You seem like you’re doing well.

Chelsea: I am. And I appreciate you checking in. I really do.

Adam: I know you do. Um…enjoy your lunch.

Chelsea: Thank you.

Adam: You’re welcome.

Chelsea: Ooh! Flowers and pastries. Thank you.

Billy: Really not a problem, not a big deal. Just thought I would bring something sweet and pretty to put on the table for lunch.

Chelsea: Mm. So, if I invite you over for dinner, you’re gonna bring something even more decadent?

Billy: You’re gonna have to invite me and find out.

Chelsea: Maybe I will.

Billy: So, what’d I miss?

Chelsea: You know, I think adam’s just lost right now. He would never admit it, but i think he stopped by to see me because I’m the most stable thing in his life right now. Imagine that.

Billy: You sound worried about him.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] I am a little. Adam’s had a lot of changes in his life recently. That can be unsettling for anyone, but especially adam.

Billy: You know, you said that the last time he came to you to get something off his chest. So, what’s going on with him?

Chelsea: It’s not really my place to share, but if you’re so concerned about him, you should ask him.

Billy: Oh, yeah, that would go over very well. You know, I just don’t want him to get into one of those phases, you know? That’s when all the terrible things happen.

Chelsea: I know, but I don’t think you should judge him for something he hasn’t done yet.

Billy: Fair enough, and i don’t want to talk about adam anymore. I want to talk about you.

Chelsea: Me?

Billy: Yes. You invite me over for this fancy lunch, and you hint at something special that’s going on, on the phone. What’s up?

Summer: I just — I can’t believe this woman. I can’t believe the way that she’s latched onto my dad. And I cannot believe this latest stunt she’s pulled.

Kyle: Okay, whatever it is, I’m sure there’s a reasonable explanation for it.

Summer: She’s pregnant.

Kyle: Oh, um… I didn’t see that coming. Well, maybe it’s a blessing that —

Summer: It’s adam’S.

> Kyle: You can’t be serious. Okay. Well, at least she won’t be in our lives.

Summer: No, my dad is sticking by her. He’s committed as ever.

Kyle: What is wrong with him? That is — wow!

Summer: See? Even you can’t put a positive spin on this. It’s a disaster.

Kyle: O-okay. It’s a lot to take in, uh… I mean, a lot. But…we can work through this. It’s just a complicated situation.

Summer: Complicated? Kyle, this is a nightmare.

[ Sighs ] And you know what? When she was telling me about it, it was like she expected me to be happy for her. And you know what? I actually think that she just wanted to watch me squirm, and she enjoyed every single second of it.

Kyle: Well, I doubt that.

Summer: What’d you just say?

Kyle: I-I doubt that she was loving every second of it, summer. It’s not like she did this intentionally.

Summer: We really don’t know that.

Kyle: I think we have to operate under the assumption this isn’t a stunt. It’s a baby. I’m sure she had a lot on her mind and a lot to worry about without considering how this situation affects you.

Sally: I’m just kicking myself.

Nick: About what?

Sally: Actually thinking that summer could offer some understanding or support. I mean, there’s absolutely no reason why she would or should. So I don’t blame her. I mean, what was she supposed to say? How was she supposed to react? “Yes, I am having a baby with your uncle, but don’t worry. Your father and I are doing just fine. Never better, actually, and I’m so sorry still about that whole job-stealing thing.”

Nick: That was a lifetime ago. You’re a different person now.

Sally: Yeah, I know, but my life is just as chaotic right now.

Nick: Look, something happened that you didn’t plan for. It’s gonna be okay. That’s the way life works. It’s not ideal, but we’re gonna make the best of it. And it’s not like you’re alone. I’m right here, and I’m not going anywhere. Now, I know you’ve got your doctor’s appointment later today. Is that something you want me to go to with you?

Sally: No, it’s fine. It’s not one of the fun ones with the ultrasound and all that.

Nick: Alright, well, if you change your mind, call me and I’ll be right there. So, here’s what we’re gonna do. You’re not gonna worry about summer or anything else. Your doctor appointment is your focus. The baby’s your focus. It’s our focus.

Sharon: Hey. How are you?

Adam: I am fine.

Sharon: And that tone says that you are not. How are things going with sally? Are you still okay with the situation?

Adam: Sharon, please don’t do that.

Sharon: Do what?

Adam: I don’t need you to therapist me. I’m just — I’m here for the coffee.

Sharon: It’s called being a friend, adam. Most people show some awareness for what their friends are dealing with. I’m trying to show some concern for how you’re facing this because I know you’re going through a rough time, but if you don’t like it, there are plenty of other places in genoa city that serve coffee.

Adam: There are?

Sharon: Don’t make a joke.

Adam: What? Who is joking? I — I have not seen these coffee-serving establishments, so I’m gonna need a list and maybe a map.

Sharon: Mm-hmm. I know what you’re doing. You don’t know how to deal with your emotions, and so you’re just lashing out.

Adam: [ Laughs ] Are you sure you’re not trying to therapist me?

Sharon: Oh, I don’t know. Maybe a little. But I know that you are going through a tough time. And I’m sure that running into billy upstairs at chelsea’s is the reason for your foul mood.

Adam: You can’t really think chelsea getting involved with billy right now is a good idea.

Sharon: I have not spoken to chelsea, but I did give my opinion to billy just now.

Adam: I mean, this guy — he has just made himself a fixture in chelsea’s life, and it’s like he needs her to need him and he does not care how it affects her or her recovery.

Sharon: Have you shared your feelings with chelsea?

Adam: I have. And they have not gotten through. But she would listen to you. I mean, she respects you. You guys have professional history together. I think that you should maybe say something to her —

Sharon: I think that you should stop. Some people are born to hustle.

Chelsea: It was so great. I mean, it felt like — like fate, bumping into him.

Billy: Bumping into who? You still haven’t told me who this person is.

Chelsea: Oh, sorry. Daniel.

Billy: Romalotti.

Chelsea: Yeah. I pitched him an idea where we could use omega sphere to help users’ mental health.

Billy: I didn’t think you were that far along. I thought it was more of a preliminary idea.

Chelsea: Well, it was. But I talked to my therapist about it, and she’s on board. She thinks it would be good for me, very healing to work behind the scenes on a project like this.

Billy: Well, that’s great. That’s great. How did daniel come about this information?

Chelsea: Well, I was leaving my therapy session, and I bumped into him and lily at the coffeehouse. So I just asked him. I asked him if I could share my idea, he said yes, and then it just kind of came pouring out.

Billy: And lily was there. So, how did that go? She can be a little bit of a tough crowd.

Chelsea: She listened and asked questions. I mean, she was a little concerned that maybe it’s too much too soon, but she seemed to like it.

Billy: Well, that sounds very promising.

Chelsea: Yeah. Well, I had this idea where players go through mazes and obstacles that are personal to them, relating to previous traumas in their lives.

Billy: I’m thrilled that you’re using your personal experience for something good.

Chelsea: You’re the reason all of this is possible. So, this fancy lunch, as you like to call it, it’s a — it’s a celebration of my next steps. It’s a celebration of getting closer to being the person i want to be. It’s a celebration of us.

Daniel: You still haven’t explained why you owe chelsea a debt of gratitude.

Lily: Well…because she… helped re-energize you with the idea that she pitched, you know? She made you excited about the possibilities again.

Daniel: Yeah, I think it’s a good idea. I also think it’s really brave of her to want to take something so personal and turn it into this big project. I mean, that had to be really painful for her. And I think it’s inspiring, don’t you?

Lily: Yeah, absolutely.

Daniel: It reminded me of why I wanted to do this in the first place. Her idea sort of crystallized what I want to accomplish with omega sphere.

Lily: I know, and that’s why I want to thank her. She made you excited again. I’m happy about that.

Daniel: Mm. Good. Good. Well, look, we’ll have someone on the team handle all the coding for her and all the technical aspects. And I guess I’ll just help to shape her vision.

Lily: Yeah, great. Do what you have to do. I’m just happy to see you excited again.

[ Chuckles ] It’s exactly the kind of good news I needed today.

[ Menu clatters ]

Daniel: You remember when we joked about creating a game that could help you deal with family conflict? Kind of what we’re doing.

Lily: Yeah. On one level.

Daniel: Well, you see how valuable that is, right?

Lily: [ Laughs ] Oh, I see what you’re doing. You’re using omega sphere to get me to talk about what I don’t want to talk about. Very clever.

Summer: Did you just defend sally spectra to me?

Kyle: I think she has more important things on her mind than trying to get a rise out of you, that’s all. I’m sure she’s scared and anxious about the situation she finds herself in. But the most important thing for everyone, including you, is the health and well-being of that baby.

Summer: Ugh. You’re right. She’s bringing a new life into this world, so I guess we all need to focus on the baby. But, kyle, if you think for a second that she wouldn’t use that baby to manipulate my dad, you are so naive.

Kyle: I think you have to face the fact that your dad’s relationship with sally has taken a few steps past being a casual thing. And if nick has chosen to stay by sally’s side during the pregnancy, then that’s —

[ Knock on door ] Are you expecting someone?

Summer: No, but I have an idea of who it is.

Kyle: [ Sighs ]

Nick: We need to talk. I brought in ensure max protein

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Kyle: Good to see you, nick.

Nick: You too.

Kyle: See you later.

Nick: I assume you know what this is about.

Summer: What exactly did sally tell you?

Nick: She told me that you two talked yesterday.

Summer: And, what, she just ran to go tell you all about it and now you’re here to scold me like a child?

Nick: I’m not here to scold you, summer. I just want this out in the open. Sally knows she’s never gonna get your support and understanding, but I expect it.

Summer: I’m running a little low on those things lately.

Nick: Look, I get it. You have a problem with this on a lot of different levels. You and sally have a messy history, but that was a long time ago. And things have really worked out for you since, right?

Summer: No, this isn’t about me holding a grudge. You’re confusing me for mom. I’m concerned for you.

Nick: Nothing is happening to me.

Summer: Dad, she’s using you.

Nick: No, she’s not. That is a hurtful and baseless accusation.

Summer: I have a question for you. How long did she know she was pregnant before she told you?

Nick: She didn’t tell me right away.

Summer: [ Scoffs ] Maybe she took her time on purpose. Maybe she wanted to wait so that she could reel you in and deepen your relationship with her.

Nick: Why would she do that?

Summer: So that you would do exactly what you’re doing right now, so that you would stand by her and protect her from adam.

Sharon: Let me explain.

Adam: Look, you said stop, so I will stop. I am not gonna say another word.

Sharon: What I meant was stop focusing on other people’s issues and deal with your own life. I know you, adam. Whatever you’re projecting to the world — this glib, devil-may-care attitude — I know you do care. Look, sally made a choice, and it was one that probably hurt your feelings, but it’s out of your control. And the same goes for chelsea. She has decided to spend her time with somebody else. And while you may be concerned about her, running around and ranting about billy doesn’t help the situation. It’s just a distraction. It allows you to avoid doing what you should be doing and paying attention to what you can control.

Adam: And what would that be?

Sharon: What about your job? Didn’t jack give you a great opportunity at jabot?

Adam: Um…yeah. Um, about that…

Sharon: What, did something go wrong?

Adam: Oh, well, would you look at that? Maybe my former colleague can explain what went wrong.

Sharon: “Former”?

Adam: Kyle. You remember me? How are things going at the old jabot salt mine?

Billy: I mean, I’m not surprised daniel loves the idea. He’s a brooding, artistic type, and this is a real story with real human emotion.

Chelsea: Yeah. He seemed to like how it would fit with his platform. So I think we could come up with a deal. He even laid out how it would all work.

Billy: What do you mean?

Chelsea: Well, his company would deal with the coding and mechanics. I would oversee that and design the visuals.

Billy: Sounds very promising.

Chelsea: Yeah. I thought the exact same thing.

Billy: You know, I’m wondering how this might work, actually, because, uh…

[ Clears throat ] I mean, does daniel have the authority to make these decisions on his own? Or do jill and lily still need to sign off?

Chelsea: Well, like I said, lily was there, and she heard everything. She seemed to like it. Unless she was just being polite. I mean, I did pitch this thing in the middle of a coffee shop.

Billy: No, no, no, no. No, not at all. If lily seemed like she liked it, I’m sure that’s true. You know, she can be brutal when it comes to business. And a lot of deals are made after elevator pitches. And this is your version of that.

Chelsea: I guess so.

Billy: Look, I’m sure it went as well as you think it did, okay? And they’d be foolish not to take this project. And they are not fools over there. They got rid of the last one when I walked out the door.

Chelsea: [ Laughs ]

Billy: I really think this is a perfect fit for daniel’s platform.

Chelsea: You do?

Billy: Yeah.

Chelsea: Really?

Billy: I’m very excited about it.

Chelsea: Okay. Well, that makes me feel better because I’m a little anxious about the business side of it all — you know, the — the contracts, negotiations, hiring.

Billy: Yeah, don’t worry about that. That’s just me falling into my corporate mind-set. If this is the right project for them, they’re gonna make it work. More importantly, I’m glad that you’re this excited about your own project and those creative juices are flowing again.

Chelsea: Well, thank you. I appreciate your support.

Billy: [ Clears throat ]

Chelsea: Um, but is something going on with you?

Billy: No. What do you mean by that?

Chelsea: I don’t know. You just seem more distant since you got here. Just, it feels different than the last time we hung out. Is something wrong? Hi, I’m karen.

Chelsea: Talk to me.

Billy: Jack. He offered me a job. And I’m a little distracted by it.

Chelsea: Wow. Well, I know you told me you had an enlightening conversation with him, but he gave you a job offer?

Billy: Yeah. He asked if I would take over where adam left off and, uh, become his co-ceo.

Chelsea: Oh, that’s a big deal.

Billy: [ Chuckles ]

Chelsea: And very complicated, considering you just had an epiphany that you’re no longer comfortable working in the corporate world, and now you’re asked to go back.

Billy: That’s right.

Chelsea: So, are you really considering it?

Kyle: You’re not gonna believe this, but jabot somehow managed to survive without your half-assed contributions.

Adam: Oh, man. I’m happy to hear that the place is still standing before I was forced out.

Kyle: Yeah, you weren’t forced out.

Adam: Well, you and victor — you did your best.

Kyle: That’s right. The world is against you. That’s why you failed to make a single worthwhile contribution while you were in the c-suite.

Adam: I resigned. Yes. Um, and like I said, I don’t blame you. I don’t hold any ill will. You know, you were right to, uh, work to get me out of there. So, good job, young man.

Kyle: Well, I don’t really seek your approval, so that doesn’t mean much to me.

Adam: Well, sure. You, you know, only want your daddy’s thumbs-up, so… I don’t know if ousting me was a very proud moment for jack. I’m sorry about that. I hope my father made it worthwhile for you. Oh, he did, didn’t he? That’s so good. What did he give you for your treachery? A yacht? Full bag of cash? Maybe — no. A handful of magical beans?

Kyle: You just don’t stop, do you? I’m sorry, sharon. I’m going to get my coffee somewhere else today. I’ll be back soon.

Adam: See that? He’s bluffing. I told you there is nowhere to get coffee in this town other than here.

Sharon: [ Chuckles ] He’s right, you know.

Adam: About what?

Sharon: You would rather stay fixated on the tiniest insult or injury rather than moving on to the next thing that brings you happiness.

Adam: That is not true, okay? I was — I was toying with kyle. I didn’t belong at jabot. Everybody knows that, sharon.

Sharon: Okay, so it didn’t work out at jabot. That just means that you need to move on and find the next thing that does work, something that you’re passionate about and brings you a sense of purpose.

Adam: Well, it turns out somebody may have already offered me that.

Daniel: Look, I am not gonna pressure you. If you don’t want to talk about what’s going on with your family, you don’t have to. But I just have to say I hate to see the way things have gotten with devon. I mean, he’s your brother, lily.

Lily: Yeah, I know. And a pretrial conference date has been set, so it’s really happening.

Daniel: It doesn’t have to.

Lily: What do you mean? It’s inevitable. And he’s not backing down. And he’s not happy that we hired amanda as our lawyer.

Daniel: Well, I wouldn’t be happy, either. It’s a harsh move.

Lily: Harsh move? It’s not out of spite. She’s the best person for the job.

Daniel: Which I totally understand. You’re gonna do whatever you think is necessary. It’s your company. You have to protect it.

Lily: Right, exactly. Thank you. I wish devon would understand that.

Daniel: Well, I think that devon’s actually handling things fairly well, given the circumstances.

Lily: Well, I mean, he’s saying the right things, but i can hear the disdain in his voice. He blames me for everything.

Daniel: I don’t think so. I just wish, as I’m sure you do, that there was some way to bring the two of you back together, you know, rather than driving you apart.

Stouffer’s bowl-fulls…

Nick: Look, I know that this is coming from a good place.

Summer: Of course it is.

Nick: You’re concerned and you’re protective and this is the way you demonstrate it. But, summer, I’m telling you, you’re 100% wrong about this.

Summer: About which part?

Nick: About all of it. Especially sally. She doesn’t have an agenda. It would be impossible for her to have one.

Summer: [ Sighs ] Dad, you are way too trusting and open for your own good.

Nick: Look, she was so shaken when she found out she was pregnant. She felt scared and alone. But she’s not alone. We’re together. What we have is real.

Summer: What about what she has with adam? That’s gonna be real for the rest of their lives.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Yes. I am not the father of her baby. But it doesn’t change at all how I feel about her. And all of your eye-rolling and disapproval isn’t going to change anything. Supergirl, I love you. I love all of my children. You know that, right?

Summer: Yeah.

Nick: That doesn’t mean you get to run my life. I make my own choices. And I need you to respect that. I need you to open up your heart and mind to the idea of me and sally being together.

Sharon: Victor? That’s who made you the offer?

Adam: That is right.

Sharon: Didn’t you just say that he tried to get you fired from jabot?

Adam: Yes, he did try to get me fired, he tried to cut off my options, and then he dangled an attractive alternative in front of me.

Sharon: Sounds intriguing.

Adam: Yeah, well, at first i thought it was just another manipulation by my father, but it turns out the offer was real. And it may just be as fulfilling as what you describe, sharon.

Sharon: Okay.

Adam: And you’re right. The next thing that I do, it needs to give me a sense of purpose.

Sharon: Yeah. And it may be worth pursuing. At the very least, it could help you and victor work through your issues.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Suggesting that victor and i work through our issues. Okay, now I know that you are trying to therapist me.

Sharon: [ Chuckles ]

Adam: No, um… thank you for the straight talk, as always, sharon.

Sharon: Any time. You know it.

Adam: [ Clears throat ]

[ Sighs heavily ] Hey, dad. I’m ready to meet…and to talk.

Billy: You know, I have to confess, I am seriously considering taking the job at jabot.

Chelsea: Really?

Billy: [ Chuckles ] You sound surprised. Believe me, not as surprised as I am. A few weeks ago, I would have laughed at jack. I’m not wearing a suit and tie again.

Chelsea: Huh. So, what’s changed? You realized how good you look in a suit and tie?

Billy: Ha. That’s part of it.

Chelsea: Mm, mm-hmm.

[ Chuckles ]

Billy: No, I mean, I’m seriously considering taking the job because of you.

Chelsea: Me?

Billy: Yeah. I mean, you…

[ Sighs ] I’ve been here helping you out for this time, and the truth is, you’ve been helping me more than I was even aware. You’ve really helped me to see things differently, you know? Why we’re here. What’s — what’s it all about. And the truth is, family’s important. And I would like to work with my family again. So, thank you. Thank you for helping me see things in a different light.

Chelsea: Well, I owe you, now and forever.

Billy: No, that’s not true.

Chelsea: It is true. But even if it weren’t, I want to be there for you. I want to be your friend, your cheerleader, be in your corner. You’ve done all that and more for me.

Billy: But you would be alright on your own, too, wouldn’t you?

Chelsea: Yeah. I mean, I hate to think of my life without you in it. Just thinking about that makes my heart hurt. But I know I need to stand on my own. And I do, every hour of every day. But having you in my life on those days is a real bonus for me, so…

[ Sighs ] I’m just grateful to have you in my life.

Lily: Well, listen, I have to get back to work, but I am very happy that you are back on track with omega sphere.

Daniel: I’m inspired and ready to work.

Lily: Good. That’s what I want to hear. And listen, as far as me and devon go, I would love to find a solution, but I really think that we’re past that point.

Daniel: Are we, though? Or is there maybe a way to get the two of you just to sit down and listen to each other?

Lily: Daniel, we have tried that. It doesn’t work. And like you said, I have to do what it takes to protect my company, and I’m not gonna apologize for that. And clearly he feels the same way.

Daniel: Well, then, it is what it is.

Lily: Yes, it is what it is. We will talk later, okay?

Nate: Daniel, do you have a minute? It sounds like you and I want the same thing.
