THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I’m – we heard about willow. How’s she doing?

Michael’s with her now.

What happened?

She collapsed, and we’re waiting to hear from dr. Randolph, but we talked to tj, and her condition is deteriorating.

How bad?

Hopefully, drew can find your aunt liesl and bring her back here in time to have the bone marrow transplant. But until then, willow has to stay in the hospital.

Thank you for agreeing to stay at the hospital.

Well… the whole, “if you go home, you won’t make it back” argument was pretty persuasive.

Guess I pulled out all the stops.

You were right, too. You made me see I need a controlled environment for now so I can go home to you and our kids later. And michael… I’m fighting with everything I have to stay with our family.

[Dramatic music]

Jordan? Jordan, can you hear me?

Yes, I can hear you. Where are you?

On the haunted star with spencer and ace.

Trina, listen to me. You have to get off that boat now.

Yes, we know, but–

– no buts. There are drones on the way with orders to drop bombs on the entire island, and we have no way to stop them. Take the baby and get to the seaplane before it’s too late.

[Whispering] I can’t leave my grandmother behind.

Or curtis. Jordan, what about the others?

Every second counts. Take the baby and get off that island now.

Trina, you take ace, and you try to get to the seaplane. I’m gonna try to warn my grandmother.

No. What if you run into victor or his guards? I’m not leaving you.

– Spencer, it’s felicia. You and I both know that your grandmother would want you and ace to be safe.

Exactly. Your job, both of you, is to get yourselves and the baby to that plane

before it takes off.

Drop the gun, victor.

Now, why on earth would I do that? Especially as you’re gonna drop your gun and let me pass.

Why would I do that? Obviously, you’d shoot me if I did.

Stop talking, and shoot him!

Oh, careful, miss sutton! You might hit liesl.

I accept the risk. Now, shoot him!

Well, now, what about poor willow? Anything happens to you, and she’ll die.

I’ll instruct you how to harvest my marrow from my dying body. Now, pull the trigger!

Okay!

Anything happens to me, we all die.

[Gasps] Valentin! Oh, my god!

[Monitor beeping] What– talk to me!

Anna. No, you’re not real. You’re an illusion.

What? What?

[Sobbing] You’re just like helena. I’m imagining you.

No, no, you’re not. No, I’m here. I’m absolutely real. Valentin, you have to hang on.

God… if you can hear me… please keep trina and curtis safe. Just bring my family home.

[Knock at door] Come in.

[Clears throat]

Hi. Hope I’m not interrupting. I just wanted to check on you.

Marshall was here with me earlier. [Chuckles] But, I, uh–I sent him home ’cause he needs his rest.

He’s not the only one.

Yeah, I know. I’m so tired. But I just can’t stop thinking about… what if I never see curtis and trina ever again?

– Wait a minute. The displayon this computer, the–

[Computer beeping] The program that it’s running, I’ve seen that before.

You’ve seen it where?

Oh, my god. 40 years ago, in another underground bunker also owned by mikkos cassadine. Wait a minute. Look at this. Look at this. The displays–

“temperature,” “target area.” “New york, new j–” it’s a map of the mid-atlantic states.

It’s all the same.

Same as what?

I think there might be another weather machine.

[Sighs]

[Dramatic music]

Okay, we get what you’re saying, but the others have to be warned.

I promise you, we’ll find a way to tell everyone in the bunker about the drone strike.

You need to get to the seaplane now, otherwise you’re putting yourselves and ace in grave danger.

They’re right.

Jordan… please tell my mom and dad I love them.

I will, and then you can tell them yourselves when you get home. Now get yourself to the plane. Good luck, and stay safe.

Okay, we have to hurry. Let’s bundle ace up the best that we can, and– trina–

right, okay.

Trina, we can do this.

Together.

It’s one thing for trina not to speak to me. I get that she’s angry. She should be. I’ll take the silence. But for her to listen to spencer, someone who’s been known to hurt every single person that’s cared about him–

spencer can be difficult.

All I was trying to do was give trina some time, some time and some space to process everything that had happened. And now, the window that I had to make things right– it might be gone forever.

Portia, no, no.

I just don’t know why I waited. Why didn’t I just go to her? Go to her and done everything in my power to make things right while i still had the chance to do it.

Trina is as big-hearted as she is stubborn. And when she gets back– when– two of you will be able to work things out.

[Knock at door]

Come in. Is there word?

We just heard from trina and spencer.

[Dramatic music]

Valentin, focus! Look at me, valentin.

The real anna’s in a hospital. My father shot her. She told me to come and get him.

I know I told you that. But I came after you.

God, I wish you were really here so I could hold you against me one last time, tell you how much I love you.

Hey. I love you, too. Listen… valentin… I love you. That’s why I’m here… to help you. I’m gonna get you out of there, all right?

No. You can’T.

Hey, hursley!

Da scorpio. Very brave of you to speak to me without your lawyer present.

Unless you’re here to tell me that the bureau now realizes how stupid it is to bomb an island with ten people on it, then get out of my face.

Eh, but I’m under orders to stay and monitor the situation.

Do it where I can’t see you.

Let’s keep each other posted, shall we?

I’m gonna talk to this director myself, see if I can get through to him.

I had heard stories that the cassadines had a machine that could control the climate, but I thought it was just an urban legend.

No. No, it wasn’T. It was absolutely real. It was based on something called carbonic snow. You see, the weather machine was capable of creating an artificial blizzard in a targeted area, and in the summer of 1981, mikkos cassadine aimed that thing right at the city of port charles. A group of us–luke, robert, tiffany hill, and I– we all managed to stop him, and that weather machine was destroyed. But this is the same program.

Okay, well, the computer’s from the same era. If it’s the same program… is it hooked up to another weather machine?

Hey, brook lynn told me willow was here.

Thanks for coming.

[Sighs] Nina.

I am so scared.

Michael is not going to like that sonny and nina are here.

No. Let’s hope they have sense enough to keep their distance.

Thank you.

How is willow? Any updates?

Well, the updates are not good. Her condition is getting worse.

I know that this must be agony for you, for everyone. Is there any word on liesl?

Nothing.

Give up, victor. Backup is on the way. There’s nowhere to run.

Come on, holly. That old trick? You disappoint me.

It’s not a trick.

Look, you’re wasting your time here. Just let me go, and then you can get on with looking for your son, ethan.

Ethan’s perfectly fine, thank you. Felicia and I found out about the auction– sick, little affair that it was– and ethan is now safe and far from your reach. You failed, again.

Well, it doesn’t matter. Once I release this pathogen, it has an 80% mortality rate, and I’m the only one with the antidote.

At this point, victor, why bother?

Why bother? Try to save the world? Why bother living?

But what’s to live for for you, bearing in mind your unfortunate condition?

What do you mean by that?

I’d have thought by now you’d have figured out, victor, that it was me who arranged for a little addition to your cocktail.

And a lot of good it did. He’s still alive and kicking.

Yeah, well, alive? Yes. Kicking? Not so much. And I’m glad we’re finally face-to-face, victor, ’cause I really want you to know that it was me.

You don’t mean–

no more heirs for uncle victor. In fact, victor, you can’t even… try, can you?

You bitch!

[Grunts]

[Gunshot]

[Struggling efforts]

[Victor groans] Ah!

[Dramatic music]

You’re awake?

I am.

I don’t wanna interrupt.

You could never.

Oh, I could. You should ask him.

Yeah, yeah. She definitely could.

[Laughs]

So, what’s up?

Sonny and nina are here. They heard what happened.

You know, I don’t really think I can think about them right now. Could you tell them to just–

michael, wait.

Drew!

Liesl, no, no, no, no! No!

Liesl, can you hear me?

Was she–was she hit?

[Dramatic music]

You can’t open that door, anna. I’m infected.

I know. We’re here to help you.

Where’s victor and obrecht? They have the cure.

I don’t know where they are. The others are looking for them.

The others? Oh, my god. [Sobs]

Just don’t worry about them. All right? God. Um– what I’m gonna do is, I’m gonna try to find you a hazmat suit or something that we can put on you, and then we can get you to safety, okay? I’ll be right back.

No, don’t go!

No, you don’t understand! We don’t have time!

No, I love how you never give up, but it’s already too late.

You know, we could be looking at an electronic ghost– an old program that started up when the computer booted up. Well, as long as it’s not connected to an actual weather machine, should be harmless.

Except that mikkos cassadine was never harmless. He was relentless. He was obsessive and absolutely thorough. And he knew– he absolutely knew that there were agencies, including the wsb, tracking him, trying to stop him.

Seems like a guy like that would have backups.

I think you’re right. Oh, my god.

Well, then, that explains this. Why would mikkos cassadine equip a bunker in literally the middle of nowhere without telling his brother? So he could retreat, if he needed to, with two weapons, two ways to hold the world hostage: The pathogen and the weather machine. Laura, this is real, and it’s running. We gotta stop it. I’ll find a way to kill the power.

No, no, wait, don’t do that. We can kill the power to this computer, but that doesn’t mean that we can kill the power to the weather machine.

You’re right. If we interrupt the power, the computer might shut down and lock us out entirely, and we’ll never find them.

Yeah. It’s calibrated its target. It’s the same as last time.

Port charles.

[Dramatic music]

Trina and spencer agreed to head straight to the plane. With any luck, they should be home before daybreak.

[Laughs]

Oh, and… trina says she loves you.

Thank you, jordan.

[Distant siren wails]

Is that snow?

[Ominous music]

Oh, my goodness.

Willow seems stable. Everything– so can we just go?

No, I wanna just stay a little bit longer, sonny, just in case.

Michael? How are you doing?

I’m okay, all things considered. Nina–

I’m not gonna– I’m not here to cause trouble.

No. Willow wants to see you.

[Melancholy music]

Come on, liesl. Liesl. Please!

She’s got a pulse.

All right.

Liesl, can you hear me?

How bad is it?

[Dramatic music]

There must be a way to stop the process.

It’s already begun. And it will only get worse as it slowly works its way up to full power. See, the longer the machine is in operation, the greater the devastation will be.

All right, well, we have to try something. I got an idea.

Okay.

Suspend… operations.

[Computer beeping] “To terminate functions, enter chemical formula in operation.” Chemical formula for what?

Carbonic snow. I told you, that’s how the machine works. The–it creates a blizzard by using carbonic snow.

Who has the formula to carbonic snow?

[Dramatic music]

I do.

Okay. Are you sure this is the right way?

Yeah, we’re heading east.

Didn’t take you for a boy scout.

Sailing at prep school.

Of course.

Someone’s coming.

Maybe it’s curtis.

Maybe it’s not.

It’s okay. It’s all right.

Uncle victor still has the pathogen.

Where’s curtis?

I don’t know. But I need to go after victor.

Spencer, you can’T.

Any luck?

Yeah, all bad. Hursley was right about one thing: This new director is definitely not gonna take any of my calls. Anybody who I manage to get through to pretty much said the same thing.

They have to follow protocol in the event of a bioterror threat. I got the same drill.

Yeah, we’re dealing with… ten people here, as far as the bureau’s concerned, rather than billions.

Even if those ten are our friends.

Speaking of which, I was hoping to have heard from anna by now.

Well… she’s a little busy.

Will you please tell charlotte how sorry I am and that I love her and she was always the best thing in my life?

She still is!

[Heart monitor beeping]

I should’ve known better.

What?

When I looked into alex’s eyes, I should’ve known that she wasn’t you, because there’s no kindness there. You have compassion in your eyes. Even all those years ago, when you rejected my affection…

oh.

You still knew my heart. You still had compassion in your eyes. And I wish I had held on to that. And alex couldn’t have poisoned what we had. But she did, and I let her. And I wish that I hadn’t let anger and spite control me, because then, maybe we would’ve found each other so much sooner and I could’ve been the man that I am with you, and I like the man that I am with you. So, if this is how I die–

no, this is not how you die!

It’s okay, because you redeemed me.

[Dramatic music]

[Sobbing] Thank you. I love you, anna devane.

I will always– I’ll always love you.

[Gasps]

Valentin!

So I will check on wiley and amelia and make sure brook lynn and tracy aren’t teaching them really bad habits.

[Knock at door]

[Laughs]

[Desolate music]

Michael said that you wanted to s ee me?

Uh, I do. Um, carly, thank you for everything.

Yeah. Remember, you need to rest. No excitement.

How are you feeling?

The fluids are helping.

That’s good.

Nina… I want you to do something for me.

Name it.

Leave carly alone.

It’s not a bullet wound. She must have hit her head when she fell.

Okay, okay. Liesl? Liesl, I need you to open your eyes.

Mm…

open your eyes. Oh, there she is.

[Groans in pain]

Thank god. Thank god. Okay.

Okay.

Okay, take it easy. Easy, easy.

There you go.

Victor…

there you go.

Where’s that vile insect?

He’s right…

[Dramatic music] Wait, wait, wait. Wait, he’s gone! He’s gone, and so is the canister. He’s gotta be headed back to the “haunted star.”

I’ll go. You get liesl to the plane.

Nein! Valentin is dying. He needs the antidote.

What happened? Where’s spencer?

Some guy showed up out of nowhere. We did our best to fight him off. He took out ivan and knocked me out.

So you’ve no idea where he is? What about, er, ace?

I checked the stateroom. The baby and the nanny are both gone.

Oh, to hell with the nanny. Search the ship. Find my nephews. No, wait. Get the ship under way first. We’re leaving, with or without my family.

[Sighs, winces]

You cannot go after victor. We agreed to get ace to the plane. That’s the plan. Now let’s go before one of victor’s men sees us.

You go. I can’t let my uncle victor escape, not when he has the pathogen that he intends to release and kill half this planet.

Spencer!

Trina, take my brother and go. I will be right behind you. Okay?

You promise?

I promise. I promise.

[Sighs]

Snow in may.

It happens. Last time was, like, three years ago. Aiden did a report on it. But this is especially bizarre. It was in the 70s this afternoon.

What you said about aiden and the report– I mean, that makes me think about trina. All the reports and all the homework…

[All laugh] That we helped them with over the years. Well, until trina said that she’s old enough and she can do it by herself.

[Laughs]

You both are mothers, so I know that you understand that even though trina’s in college, she’s always, always gonna be my little baby girl.

[Wind whistling] Every time I look at her, I just see this little trace of a grin that she had when she was in her terrible twos.

[Laughs] And sometimes, I think she never grew out of them.

[Laughs]

But that smile… no matter how old she gets, that’s what I’m gonna see.

[Eerie music]

– Right after we stopped mikkos, I… I found the formula in a stateroom, and I studied it as I was falling asleep. And then, when I woke up, I realized that no one should ever have access to that information, so we burned the paper, but… the formula is seared into my memory.

[Dramatic music] Robert was always afraid about that. He was afraid that if someone found out, that they might come after me for it.

Listen, that’s not the kind of information you should have rattling around in your head. It could be dangerous.

But this might be the very thing that saves… everyone.

[Heart monitor beeping]

Valentin.

Anna.

Hi.

What are you doing? You can’t be in here.

I know. It’s too late.

Why would you do that?

‘Cause I love you.

I’m contagious. I’m infected. My god, what have you done?

[Soft dramatic music]

Laura, that was over 40 years ago. How sure are you that you memorized that formula exactly?

[Dramatic music] If we guess improperly, this whole system could lock us out. We got one shot at this.

I know.

Do you trust me?

Absolutely.

[Computer beeps]

[Sighs] Oh, my god.

It worked.

It worked; we did it.

Oh, my.

Oh.

oh, holly, how I wish I had been able to kill you myself after what you did to me. But I suppose you’re just gonna have to take your chances with the rest of humanity. Right. Let’s get this pathogen somewhere safe and the antidote somewhere safer.

[Dramatic music] No!

Okay, okay, take it easy. Good.

I stole the antidote while victor wasn’t looking, so if he releases the pathogen, there’s an 80% chance he’ll be killing himself as well.

Do you think that would stop him?

Victor’s both an idealist and an extremist, and cassadines are often willing to go down with the ship, so to speak.

Okay.

I think this is the way out.

Okay, good. Holly! It’s holly. My god, what are you doing here? What’s going on?

Here, you need to call robert and jordan, tell them that victor’s getting away. He’s got the pathogen with him. Last I saw, he was headed towards the “haunted star.” Where’s valentin?

What have you done?

I don’t know. I mean… I thought maybe I could find some kind of… suit or protection, but…

[Soft dramatic music] I just didn’t want you to be alone.

I don’t know that dying together is all it’s cracked up to be.

[Laughs] I… hey. Hey, look at me, right here. I want you to listen to me. I wanna tell you about someone: Valentin cassadine.

Oh, I–

no, listen. He’s a man that is not going to die in some obscene plot of his father’s, because he–you– you have a destiny. You’re gonna be an even greater father to charlotte. You’re gonna be my partner. Because… you know my darkness. You know what I’m capable of, and you’re capable of those things, too. I know that sounds a little twisted, but it’s not, really, because I think that kind of connection– it sort of elevates us, in a way. You know? It allows us to… love the people we love without any kind of restraint or restriction, including each other.

[Tender music]

I think that’s why I– I came into this room.

[Sighs]

But you’ll die.

I… not necessarily. I mean, there’s, like, a 20% chance that I’m immune to this thing. I can beat those odds. I’m willing to risk them…

just to be with you.

We’re sure everything is fine.

Really?

No. But we haven’t heard any yelling yet, and nina hasn’t bolted out of the room in tears, so…

I appreciate your optimism, sasha.

[Tense music] But… when my dad was at turning woods… I hate to wait. I hated it. We would pace back and forth. We’d wait. We’d hold his hand. We would wait.

We just felt hopeless.

Even though he didn’t know that you were there, I think you just being there helped mike.

I hope so.

I just don’t know what willow could possibly have to say to nina.

Maybe I made a mistake, letting nina in there.

Hey. Hey. You did exactly what your wife asked you to do. You did the right thing.

My wife. Now willow and I are married.

[Sighs] I just the day hadn’t been so hard on her.

Well, next time, I promise to wait till after the reception before I’m hauled in for questioning.

What next time?

I don’t know. Birthdays, anniversaries, vow renewal. You have a lifetime of celebrations ahead of you, michael. You do. I know it. And as for your wedding day, willow doesn’t regret a second of it.

Even now?

I’m sorry, you want what?

I want you and carly to make peace.

I can try.

I know you won’t ever be friends, or even friendly, but promise me you’ll at least keep your distance, stop keeping score of who wronged who when and just… let it all go. Wow.

[Laughs weakly] You–you haven’t changed at all, for all you claim to care about me?

No, I do, I do. I care. I care a lot about you. I–

then promise me, regardless of whether I survive this or not, to drop your vendetta against carly.

Oh.

Any word?

Not yet.

[Phone rings]

Excuse me. Commissioner ashford.

Jordan, it’s curtis. I got you on speakerphone.

– Curtis. I’m putting you on speaker.

Curtis, curtis, it’s portia. Is trina with you?

Not at the moment, but I’ve seen her. She’s okay.

Curtis, you need to get out of there. The wsb has ordered a drone strike on the island. Both: What?

– They can’t risk the pathogen getting released into the world. The drones are already on their way.

But the pathogen isn’t here.

Where is it?

– We just saw holly. She said that victor’s trying to escape on the “haunted star” and he took the pathogen with him. Bombing the island is not going to do any good.

You’ve gotta stop

the airstrike.

Hursley!

[Dramatic music] Tell your boss to call off his airstrike.

Da scorpio, for the millionth time, there is not–

change of circumstances. Victor’s left the island. He’s taken the pathogen with him. All you’re doing now is killing innocent people and covering his escape.

Okay.

Okay?

Okay. I–I won’t get into it with carly anymore.

Thank you.

Uh, nina? Willow needs her rest.

[Soft dramatic music]

I’m not perfect. I make mistakes all the time. I’m gonna be–I’m gonna try to be a better person, okay? If there’s anything else you need, just…

keep your promise.

Come on, will you?

The drones are already on their way. We don’t know exactly when the strike will happen, but it could be anytime, so you need to get out of there.

Laura.

Yes, robert.

You’re okay. The bureau listened this time. The strike’s been called off.

[Sighs]

What about victor?

Liesl. You double-crossed me. I am not having a very good day.

[Sighs]

[Footsteps clacking] You need to turn the ship around. We have to go back.

I don’t take orders from you anymore.

Spencer!

I thought you might come crawling back. If you think I’m gonna forgive you–

I’m not here for forgiveness.

It’s over, uncle.

Curtis, laura. Oh, thank god. Thank god I found you.

Trina, what are you still doing here?

Is the baby all right?

Yes, yes, I… listen. We gotta get out of here. There’s gonna be an airstrike.

We know all about the airstrike. We got it under control.

Yeah, it’s okay. We got in touch with the wsb. We told them that victor’s trying to escape on the “haunted star.”

Spencer and I saw him, but we gotta go.

The drone strike has been redirected. We’re safe.

Redirected where?

The new target’s the “haunted star.”

But spencer’s on that ship!

Oh, calm down, dear boy.

I’m not your boy. Give me the pathogen, and we can both walk out of here alive.

[Scoffs] How dare you threaten me? I’m the head of our family. This is finished when I say.

I said hand it over.

You’ll have to rip it out of my cold, dead fingers.

Fine.

No– ow!

[Dramatic music]

[Cell phone rings]

Hello?

Carly! Carly, can you hear me?

Drew? Are you okay? What happened?

So, how was your talk with nina? Did you get what you wanted from her?

I hope so. Who knows? I wanna believe that nina’s sincere.

Okay. Michael, willow, there’s someone who wants to talk to you.

Hello?

Yeah.

– Willow?

Drew–drew? Are you all right?

Not only am I okay…

I’m okay, too, not that anyone has asked.

[Laughs]

Dr. O– great-aunt liesl! I’m so glad you’re all right.

We are on our way back. Then you can literally suck the life from the bones.

Oh, we can’t wait.

Okay, so liesl and i are on our way back. Not sure who’s joining us, but everyone should be back soon.

I can’t wait to see you.

Me too. Let’s get out of here.

Anna…

I love you, too.

[Door thumps open]

Anna!

Get out! You’ll get infected.

Kind of you to care, but don’t worry. I’ve got the antidote.

Our satellite has eyes on the “haunted star.” It’s on the move.

Victor’s trying to escape, and you guys are gonna stop him.

[Dramatic music]

I’m glad I didn’t kill you, though I’m not sure that’s a good thing.

[Jet engines roaring]

What do you mean, he’s on the “haunted star”?

Spencer went to go after victor. We have to call the wsb so they–

[Explosion] Spencer.

Oh! Oh!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Uh, this is just surreal. Honestly, I, I, I didn’t think that I would ever see this place again. Wait until everyone sees you. I mean, I’m sure most people know that you’re alive and well, but. Still, just to have you back here. It’s great. It is. Although, I have to say, I am not thrilled that we left your father and the others in Greece, especially since your Uncle Bo’s future is still up in the air and Kate’s missing.

And Mom, this is exactly where you need to be. I mean, how could you just sit on the sidelines when Seth Burns fired you? Yeah. He’s such a little weasel. I mean, we are out there fighting for our lives, and that’s the time he decides to get rid of me. But don’t worry, we’re gonna march into his office and we’re gonna raise some hell.

And meanwhile, Papa, uncle Broman and Chad, they’re gonna find Kate wherever she is.

Hey Steve, where’s uh, where’s Roman? Well, he’s, uh, back at the hospital with Hope. They’re talking to Bo’s doctors about moving him into a long-term facility. No, damn that, that poor guys going through it. Brother. His wife’s missing. Yeah. Well, we need to lighten his load. Right? Come up with a plan to find and rescue gate.

So what’s that? As you know, breakfast, really, you expect me to eat that, so I don’t expect you to do anything but you want to die of starvation. That’s fine with me. The choice is yours.

Is there a problem, ej? Now, why would you think that? You know, I don’t have time for Briddle school. I’m gonna go inside. But do me a favor, try not to annoy our customers on their way in. I, I, I’m not so fast. You and I have a few things that we need to get straight.

What, what is wrong, Nicole? What’s happening? Oh, I felt a, a bad cramp and I, oh. Oh, it’s happening again, Gabby. I need help. Ah, God. Nice try, Nicole. Oh, what are you talking about, Gabby? Can’t you see him in pain? Mm. Actually what I can see is that Meryl Streep you ain’t, what the hell? I definitely don’t see any Oscars in your future because your performance right now totally fake.

Oh, come on.

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

I can’t think of anything you or I have to say to one another. I’m not sure Sloan and Peterson would agree. What you human. Wait a second. Are you talking about those lace biscuits? Sloan had nothing to do with, you know damn well it’s not those biscuits I’m concerned about. Goodbye, Jay. You have the temerity to stand here and pretend as though you don’t know why I’m calling you out.

Pretending. I have no idea what you’re talking about. I know Eric, you know what? That you had sex with Nicole. You’ve sank Pon son of a bitch.

Oh my God. I can’t believe you’re insulting me when I’m doubled over in pain. I didn’t insult you. I just said that you’re nom me street. That’s all. Oh God. That’s great, Debbie. Okay, now that that’s done, can you at least, oh, I don’t know, just help me before I pass out and die. You’re not gonna die. I’m glad you’re so sure.

Can we just drop this because I know what this is about. You want me to let my guard down so that I forget to send my evaluation of EJ to the Demer board, right? Is that what it’s, no, it’s not right. Ah, you want your snake of a boyfriend to remain in charge of Dera Enterprises valiant effort, but it’s not gonna happen.

Sister. I don’t care, Gabby, I need to get to the hospital now. Oh,

oh, oh. The look in his face. I’m never ever going to forget that. Ah, he did look pretty shocked. And all because of Wait, wait, wait, wait. How did you put it? Mr. Ferret? If you don’t reinstate Dr. Johnson immediately, I am going to unleash a viral PR campaign against you in this hospital from which you will never recover.

And I would’ve done it too. I mean, you come back from the dead and the guy decides to sell you out to the board. Well, Seth’s never been that loyal, and I talked to someone in the business affairs office and they said that he spent a friction on a head hunter trying to find my replacement. Seriously.

Mm-hmm. Talk about scummy. Remind me to never get on your bad side as if you ever could. Hmm. I bet he did not expect me to hop on a plane and come here and call him out. Especially with my shark PR daughter by my side no less. I’ll always have your back. Mom and I will always have yours. Ah, thank you. Well, I better go do the job that, uh, we both saved.

Ah, I’m so happy for you and I’m so proud of you. Ooh, ooh. Maybe you wanna go home and get some rest, huh? Oh, I will. I will. But first I have somebody finished business to tend to

whatever it takes to find Kate. I’m game well. That’s good. But, uh, buddy, I thought she’d be heading back to Salem with Stephanie and Kayla. You must be anxious to see your kids. Yeah. Yeah. I miss him like crazy. I’m not gonna leave her without Kate now. She’s like the closest thing I have to a mother. I know.

Well, hopefully we can bring her home safe to all the people who love her.

Is that Roman? He’s probably finished at the hospital.

Michaels.

What the hell are you doing here,

Steph? I didn’t know you were back from Greece. Yeah, we just got in a little while ago. Dr. Johnson. My god, I uh, I heard that you were alive, but to actually see you Yeah, it’s um, going to be back for sure. My dad’s gonna be really pumped that you’re back home. I hope he and Bonnie are doing well. They are, they’re fine.

And, um, I just wanna take a second to tell you how truly sorry I am. What, well, I don’t know if Stephanie told you or not, but, um, I was the reason why she wasn’t there for your last moments that I just thought, um, You know, it really doesn’t matter what I thought. I, uh, I did something really selfish and I’m gonna feel guilty, and I’m gonna feel terrible about it for the rest of my life.

Well, Stephanie told me what happened that day, how she missed the call about me and. How Ill I was, but it turned out that those were not my last moments that she missed. And now thank God I have time to share lots of moments with my family. But I, I, I appreciate your apology and, um, accept.

Is it all ready for come in,

answer my question. Why are you here? Agent Donovan sent me, he thought I could be, uh, of help with the search for Kay. Well, he thought wrong, we don’t want you here and we don’t need your help.

yeah. You’re really enjoying this, aren’t you? Yeah. Seeing a richer me kind of living like a peasant. Yes. I enjoy very much. Wow. For your information. I haven’t always been rich and I’ve worked my ass off for everything I’ve gotten. See, see, I’m sure you know I don’t have to explain myself to you, do I?

When you gonna let me off? The stupid shit? You has too many questions. That’s because I don’t get any answers. Let’s just say, how do I put, I don’t have the to give you answer. You can bring me to someone who does.

You should really be talking to Nicole about this. Yeah, while I’m talking to you right now when I want answers, ej, is this the part where you lie to my face, where you tell me that I’ve got it all? Ronco ahead. Eric Colo a liar. Is this where you got your information? I should have guessed Lisa girlfriend had the decency to tell me what was going on.

Sloan doesn’t know what she’s talking about. There’s nothing going on between me and Nicole. So you deny that you had sex with I’m not denying anything. Do you wanna know the truth? Alright, fine. Yeah, I did have sex with your girlfriend.

Ah, God, Gabby, if you don’t have the decency to take me to the hospital, I will call an ambulance myself. Ah, wait. Hold on Nicole. Come on. Are you really sick? Really? You’re sick? Yes. I am really, really sick. You Harless box. Ah, okay. Okay. I believe you. Come on, we gotta get the hospital. Oh.

So why haven’t I ever met your boss? Because my boss, he doesn’t want to meet with people. Could you at least give me a name? Finish your breakfast. Would you like me to bring you more fish to clean? No. I’ll pass. Are you looking at this? Looks good on me, eh? Ah, you’re set bastard. Hey, fair is fair. You got your phone call?

I got the ring, my phone call. All didn’t go through the deal is a deal, lady. You know, I still haven’t figured out if I’m going to keep it, so maybe give it to one of my girlfriends or maybe, oh, maybe I’ll cut that ring. Hey, y’all figure, so you’re the reinforcement. Andrew told us he was sending, I’m sorry to disappoint you.

Where is he? He got called when in another case. So you’re here in his stead. I don’t know why my nephew thought we’d ever accept help. From the likes of you, I know that I’m not your first choice. You’re not any choice because you’re the guy who knew Bo was alive and you kept it to yourself. I, Steve, it’s okay.

No, no, no. Just let him say his peace. It’s fine. And Kayla and I were locked up in that carry swine cellar. You didn’t lift a finger to help, right? I didn’t know you were down there. You knew we were missing. And you knew Bo had to be involved. But you didn’t care. Let’s forget about me and Kayla for now.

Let’s talk about hope, about how you didn’t tell her that the father of her children, the man she loved for her entire life was alive. Steve. No, no, no, no. Why don’t we just, no. Bottom line. If this jerk had come forward sooner, my best friend wouldn’t be lying in a coma right now.

Well, it looks like word of my triumphant return is spreading. I already have a patient and that patient is so lucky to have the best doctor on the planet. Oh, you’re a doll baby. I love you. I love you. Thank you again, Alex.

So, so it was good of you to apologize to my mom? Yeah. I don’t expect for it to make up for what I did, but it meant a lot that she forgave me.

So what are you doing here? Is everything okay? Yeah. Yeah, everything’s, everything’s fine. Just going to my appointment with Dr. Evans started therapy, decided to work on my issues. Oh, wow. That’s great. Big step. Yeah, it is.

Well, I should get going. I let a lot of work pile up while I was in Greece. I bet. See you around Alex.

Stephanie. Okay, wait a second.

Such bloody hypocrites. You Brady’s. Sneering at anyone who doesn’t share your middle class values. Your Catholic piety went all the way. You’re just as connell and corrupt as the rest of us. Yeah. Well, if you’d shut it for five minutes, just let me explain. Explain what you’ve already admitted that you slept with Nicole ej.

We were both highest kites after we ate those lace biscuits. We weren’t thinking clearly. We were out of our mind. You of all people should know what had happened to you, and we knew it was wrong as soon as it happened. If it was indeed a harmless drug-induced mistake, why did you keep it a secret to?

Because we knew you’d blow it out of proportion because you’re an insecure asshole.

Hello? Oh my God. Kayla, it’s, it’s you. Uh, yes. It’s Hello, Nicole. I I, I’m sorry if my eyes are bugging out. It, it’s, I mean, I heard you were alive, but to see you I know. It’s strange. I’ve been getting that a lot today. But listen, let’s, let’s talk about you. What’s, what’s going on? Yeah. Uh, well, I, I got these really bad.

Cramps earlier, and I don’t think it’s a bug because I’m not nauseous or anything and I’ve had food poisoning before several times and I don’t think it’s that. So you’re having cramps? Mm-hmm. Do you think they could be menstrual cramps? Oh God, no. I mean, I don’t really get cramps, you know, not like this anyway, but I am due to, to get my period.

Uh, and I have this app that turns my cycle, so we’ll see.

Well, that’s, that’s weird. What.

Hi. This is really strange because my, my ob gyn gave me a new birth control last year, and it’s been like clockwork ever since. Are you experiencing any undue stress? Oh, yeah, for like the last 25 years. I mean, something a little more recent. Uh, well do you, do you think helping EJ scheme against his brother Stephan and the woman he loves is stressful?

Probably more for them. Hmm.

I dunno about you, but is it, isn’t it really hot in here? Nope. I, I feel comfortable. Yeah. Well, not me. Oh my God, I think I’m starting to sweat, huh? Huh? What? Oh, well, uh, your period is late. You’re having cramps, hot flashes. Oh, God, no. No. I am not having hot flashes. And clearly the hospital has thermostat turned out too high.

Uh, well, you know, it’s the first week of May and heat is not on, so I, I think it is. You what? Well, what are you getting at? I think maybe you are entering into menopause.

Oh, I guess I had that coming and then some. You’re talking what happened? As I told you, Nicole and I were both loosing. When we slept together. You did something else to deserve to get punched. Well, I did circuit punch you a few weeks back. So I guess that makes us even, oh, oh, we are far from these. Really, you, uh, you want to keep this going?

In fact, I do. Really?

All right then. That first punch was for free. The second one’s gonna cost you.

You want to do this? Oh, I do. Oh, I really, really do. No, it turns out that the skills required, the sever our finger our fish had are similar.

What do you want? I want an audience with your boss.

I totally understand how you feel. That’s big of you. So I’ll go. Best of luck with the search. Wait, wait, wait. Just wait. No, no, no. Chad. Let him go. We can’t trust him and we don’t need him. What if we do, look, I understand you have your reservations, but what if he’s our best chance to find Kate? If it weren’t for him, me and Stephanie would be as good as dead.

Right now. Thomas Banks would’ve killed us. I think that we should reconsider with all due respect.

Now, before you go, I’d like to ask you something. And I know what it is. You’re wondering if my mom letting you off the hook about that phone call I never got. If that means I’ve done the same. Actually, no, it’s not what I wanted to ask you see, Steph, um, me pressuring you the minute you got back into town trying to guilt you into letting me off the hook as you put it.

That’s what the old Alex would’ve done. Oh, right. And the new Alex. The new Alex is learning that just because I have remorse for all of my actions, it doesn’t mean that the people I hurt need to forgive me. I see. So why did you stop me just now? Because I need your help.

You know, I don’t like to admit when I need help, but this is kind of a special case. What’s going on? My Aunt Maggie’s heading to Greece with my Uncle Vic to go be with Ball. Of course, God, they must be out of their minds with worry. Right? And while my aunt is gone, she left me in charge of this crucial deal for Titan that we have been working on for months.

Okay?

I’m a little anxious about it, Steph. I really can’t afford to screw this up. Like I really can’t. No, I understand. What’s this gotta do with me? How can I help? I have a meeting tomorrow to pitch all of our strategies to all the parties involved. Now, I have been cramming my brain for the data, Steph, but I would feel a lot more confident.

If I had a world class communications expert by my side,

listen Michaels. I am grateful to you for stopping that maniac from hurting my little girl. You, you don’t have to, but it wasn’t long ago that you were responsible for putting her life in danger. If you remember the exploding pizza box, I’m still haunted by what I did to your family and to John Black and his son.

Look, Steve, he wa he was under Megan’s control when he did those things. Like just like you and John were when she ordered you to hijack that dam, Margo on Hong Kong. We’ve both been there. I shot Brady and, and you guys almost hurt your wife’s trying to secure those prisms for Megan, but what about the things he’s done since then?

When he was in possession of his free will. You’re right, you’re right. I knew what I was doing when I, I didn’t tell hope the truth about Bo, and, and I can’t forgive myself for that. So is that why you’re here? To make amends? Andrew thought helping you find Kate, Mike, gimme a small chance at redemption, but I understand why.

You wouldn’t want my help?

Fuck, Steve. I’ll be honest. I I, I, I don’t care if the guy’s handle Hector. If it helps us find Kate. He’s a Navy Seal for God’s sakes, if Kate’s lost that sea, he’s gonna be our best hope to find her.

He’s right Steve. My, uh, my skills can be valuable. So what do you say?

He’s not gonna do thisk. You think I’m blessing? I’m not bluff. You don’t take me to your boss. I’m gonna cut off this finger and okay. Wait, wait, wait. My boss, he’s a very dangerous man. He does not want to be disturbed. Okay. Okay. Okay. I will beg you to him.

More lives and a litter of cats. Sharper claws too. Nicole. Nicole, are you in there? I saw your car in the garage. Hello, ej. Nicole. Nicole? Uh, no. Use yelling. You’re co-conspirators not here. What? Where’d you go?

Menopause. I mean, I’m, I’m not too young for menopause, right? Well, not necessarily. I mean, yes, you would be on the younger side. I mean, the media age is about 51, 52, but there are many women. It’s not uncommon to be in your forties to go through it. Right. Yeah. I, I guess I knew that. It’s just, it’s just what,

I guess I’m just. It’s not ready for it psychologically. I understand what, you know what, maybe these cramps have nothing to do with menopause, so what, maybe we could run some tests. May be okay with that. Yeah. Okay. Sure. I should be comfortable. I’ll get the nurse, we’ll draw some blood and we’ll look to the bottom of this, okay?

Okay.

Alex, if you are wanting me at this meeting, if it’s another one of your schemes to bring us closer together, it isn’t. Steph, I swear to you, it has nothing to do with. That. Look, Maggie and I have been butting heads like crazy, and sooner than later she’s gonna have enough of it. And I feel like this might be my last chance to prove myself to her.

Stephanie, I promise you my needing your help is totally legit. It is strictly business. Hey, I know you’re with Chad. I respect your relationship and your boundaries. Okay, so what exactly what’d you need from me? I would need you to attend this meeting with me tomorrow. Just like I said, just be by my side.

Keep me on track, make sure I hit all the talking points that Maggie already approved, and there’s nobody else for the job stuff. You’re the best. That’s it. And I truly think that my career at Titan depends on it.

Well, Titan is still one of my top clients. I mean, it would, if you close this deal, it would be a big win for SJ p r. It’s a big win. All right. I’ll help you, Stephanie. Oh my God, thank.

Thank you. You are the best. Did you see that? I’m learning step by step. Boundaries. I’ll see you tomorrow then. I will see you tomorrow and you’ll not regret it, I promise. Thank you.

Well, I guess we’re in no position to turn down help. Considering how shorthanded we are, does that mean I’m part of the team? That means you’re working with the team, okay. For now. Got it. But Michaels, I got my eye on you. Any funny business, any double dealing, and I swear I’ll take you down myself.

Nice place. Your boss has. Here.

Who are you son of?

Oh my God, it’s you.

Come on, go pick up.

Oh, uh, that was fast. Well odds that news,

Nicole, it’s me. Listen, call me as soon as you get this. CJ knows he’s on a war path.

Do you know where Nicole is? Hmm. Well, there are so many possibilities. She could be reminiscing about old times with my big brother rave, or she could be sharing hot steamy chowder with Eric Brady at the Brady Pub. I mean, she’s got so many exes, it’s hard to keep up. I’m glad you find this sort of funny.

Oh no, don’t bother calling her the way she’s feeling. I doubt she’ll pick up. What the hell are you talking about? Why wouldn’t she pick up? Well, she’s at the hospital. Poor thing,

Kayla. I mean, you’re making me nervous. Here. Say something. What is it? Well, you’re not going through menopause. Oh gosh. That’s a relief. I suppose, I mean, like I said, I wasn’t, I wasn’t ready for it and my gut told me that it wasn’t, and for some reason I was just like, no, I’m menopause. In no way. Right. Uh, no way.

Because you’re pregnant.

Update written by Joseph

Stephanie brings Kayla back home to the hospital in Salem. Kayla calls it surreal to be there after thinking she’d never see the place again. Stephanie tells her to just wait until everybody sees her. Kayla calls it great to be back but admits she’s not thrilled that they left Steve and the others in Greece, especially since Bo’s future is in the air and Kate is still missing. Stephanie encourages that this is where Kayla needs to be. They talk about Seth Burns firing her while she was fighting for her life and plan to storm in to his office. Stephanie assures that Steve, Chad, and Roman will find Kate.

Chad reads a text from Stephanie that she landed safely in Salem and misses him already. Steve shows up at his door. Chad asks where Roman is. Steve says he’s at the hospital with Hope as they are talking to the doctors about moving Bo in to a long term facility. Chad feels for everything Roman is going through with his brother in a coma and his wife missing. Steve states that they need to lighten his load. Chad agrees that they need to come up with a plan to find and rescue Kate.

The man keeping Kate on his boat brings her breakfast and tells her to either eat it or die of starvation.

EJ runs in to Eric outside the Brady Pub. Eric asks if there’s a problem. EJ asks why he would think that. Eric tells EJ that he doesn’t have time for riddles and plans to head inside but EJ stops him and says they need to get a few things straight.

At the DiMera Mansion, Gabi checks on Nicole, who complains about cramps and says she needs help. Nicole says she’s in pain but Gabi accuses her of faking it.

Eric can’t think of anything he or EJ have to say to one another. EJ is not sure Sloan would agree. Eric asks if he’s talking about the laced biscuits and says Sloan had nothing to do with it. EJ shouts that Eric knows damn well it has nothing to do with the biscuits. EJ questions Eric acting like he doesn’t know why he’s calling him out. Eric says he has no idea what he’s talking about. EJ then reveals that he knows Eric had sex with Nicole and calls him a sanctimonious son of a bitch.

Nicole can’t believe Gabi is insulting her while she’s in pain. Nicole asks Gabi to help her before she passes out and dies. Gabi laughs it off and argues that Nicole just wants her to let her guard down so she forgets to send in her performance review of EJ. Gabi tells Nicole that it’s not going to happen. Nicole shouts that she doesn’t care and she needs to get to the hospital now.

Stephanie and Kayla come out from Seth Burns’ office and joke about Seth’s reaction to Stephanie warning Seth to reinstate Kayla. Kayla bets Seth did not expect her to fly in and call him out. They talk about having each others’ back. Kayla decides she better go do her job that they just got back. Stephanie says she’s happy for her while Kayla says she’s proud of her and they hug. Kayla encourages Stephanie to go home and rest which she agrees to do. Stephanie stops and says that she first has some unfinished business to tend to as Alex approaches.

Chad tells Steve that he’s game for whatever it takes to find Kate. Steve says that’s good but he thought Chad would’ve gone back to Salem with Stephanie and Kayla because he must be anxious to see his kids. Chad admits he misses them like crazy but declares that he’s not leaving without Kate because she’s the closest thing he has to a mother. Steve hopes they can bring Kate home safe to all the people who love her. There’s a knock at the door, so Chad answers it and is surprised to see Harris Michaels. Steve asks what the hell he is doing here.

Alex tells Stephanie that he didn’t know she was back from Greece. Stephanie says she just got in awhile ago. Alex mentions hearing that Kayla was alive. Kayla says it’s good to be back. Alex says that Justin will be pumped that she’s back home. Kayla hopes Justin and Bonnie are doing well which Alex confirms. Alex tells Kayla how truly sorry he is because he was the reason that Stephanie wasn’t there for Kayla’s last moments as he did something really selfish and he will feel guilty and terrible about it for the rest of his life. Kayla informs him that Stephanie told her what happened that day, but it turns out those were not her last moments that she missed and now she has time to share lots of moments with her family. Kayla appreciates and accepts Alex’s apology.

Harris asks to come in which Steve and Chad allow. Steve asks him again why he’s here. Harris responds that Andrew sent him as he thought he could be of help with the search for Kate. Steve remarks that he thought wrong because they don’t want him and they don’t need his help.

Kate reluctantly eats the food brought to her which the man on the boat laughs at. Kate asks when he’s going to let her off the ship. He responds that he doesn’t have the authority to give her an answer. Kate tells him to bring her to someone who does then.

Eric tells EJ that he should really be talking to Nicole about this. EJ says he’s talking to him and he wants answers. EJ asks if Eric is going to lie to his face. Eric questions EJ getting the information from Sloan. EJ remarks that at least Sloan had the decency to tell him what was going on. Eric argues that Sloan doesn’t know what she’s talking about as there is nothing going on with he and Nicole. EJ asks if he’s denying having sex with Nicole. Eric shouts that he’s not denying anything and then admits that he did have sex with EJ’s girlfriend.

Nicole tells Gabi that if she’s not going to take her to the hospital, she will call an ambulance. Gabi questions Nicole really being sick and decides to help her to the hospital.

Kate questions why she hasn’t met the man’s boss. He responds that his boss doesn’t like meeting people. Kate asks for a name but he tells her to just finish her breakfast. He shows off wearing Kate’s ring. Kate complains that her one phone call didn’t go through. The man remarks that he hasn’t decided if he wants to keep the ring, sell it, or give it to one of his girlfriends. Kate then grabs his hand and threatens to cut the ring off his finger.

Steve questions Harris being the reinforcements that Andrew said he was sending. Harris apologizes for disappointing him. Steve asks where Andrew is. Harris responds that he got called away on another case. Steve doesn’t know why Andrew thought they’d ever accept help from Harris. Steve complains that Harris is the guy who knew Bo was alive and kept it to himself. Chad tries to intervene but Harris says to let Steve say his piece. Steve argues that when he and Kayla were locked in the wine cellar, Harris didn’t lift a finger to help. Harris points out that he didn’t know they were down there. Steve says he knew they were missing and that Bo had to be involved, but he didn’t care. Steve says they can forget about he and Kayla and talk about Hope and how Harris didn’t tell her that Bo was alive. Steve declares that if Harris came forward sooner, his best friend wouldn’t be lying in a coma right now.

Kayla says the news of her return is spreading as she already has a patient. Stephanie says that patient has the best doctor ever. Kayla hugs her and says she loves her as she then walks away. Stephanie tells Alex that it was good of him to apologize to Kayla. Alex doesn’t expect for it to make up for what he did, but it meant a lot that she forgave him. Stephanie asks what Alex is doing at the hospital and if everything is okay. Alex responds that everything is fine and he was just going to his appointment with Marlena as he started therapy to work on his issues. Stephanie calls that great and a big step. Stephanie says she should get going as a lot of work piled up while she was in Greece. Stephanie tells Alex that she will see him around. Stephanie goes to leave but Alex stops her and asks her to wait a second.

EJ mocks Eric and the Brady family as being just as corrupt as the rest of them. Eric tells EJ to shut up for five minutes and let him explain. EJ questions what’s to explain when he already admitted to sleeping with Nicole. Eric tells EJ that they were high after eating those biscuits and weren’t thinking clearly. Eric argues that they were out of their minds and EJ should know since it happened to him. Eric adds that they knew it was a mistake as soon as it happened. EJ questions why they kept it a secret then. Eric responds that they knew he would blow it out of proportion because he’s an insecure asshole. EJ then grabs Eric and punches him down.

Kayla goes to see her patient which turns out to be Nicole. Nicole is shocked to see her despite hearing she was alive. Kayla knows it’s strange and says she’s been getting that a lot today. Kayla asks what’s going on with Nicole. Nicole tells her about the cramps and she doesn’t think it’s a bug or food poisoning. Kayla asks if it could be menstrual cramps. Nicole says she doesn’t really get cramps like these but she is due for her period. Nicole checks her calendar and realizes that she’s late. Nicole calls it really strange since her OB/GYN gave her a new birth control last year. Kayla asks if she’s been under any extra stress recently. Nicole admits to scheming with EJ against Stefan and Gabi. Nicole starts to complain about feeling hot and that she’s starting to sweat. Kayla goes over Nicole’s period being late, having cramps, and now hot flashes. Nicole asks what she’s getting at. Kayla thinks Nicole may be entering menopause.

Eric guesses he had that coming and repeats to EJ that he and Nicole were hallucinating when they slept together. Eric brings up punching EJ a few weeks ago so he guesses this makes them even. EJ responds that they are far from even. Eric asks if he wants to keep this going. EJ says that he does. Eric remarks that his first punch was free but the second one’s going to cost him. Eric then heads inside to the Brady Pub.

Kate threatens to cut the man’s finger with the knife she used to cut the fish. He pleads with her and asks what she wants. Kate responds that she wants to see his boss.

Harris tells Steve that he totally understands how he feels, so he will go. Harris wishes them luck in the search. Chad stops Harris but Steve says to let him go because they can’t trust him and they don’t need him. Chad asks what if Harris is their best chance to find Kate. Chad adds that if it wasn’t for Harris, he and Stephanie would’ve been killed by Thomas Banks, so he thinks they should reconsider.

Alex tells Stephanie that he’d like to ask her something before she goes. Stephanie guesses that he wants to know if she’s let him off the hook since Kayla did. Alex says that’s not what he wanted to ask. Alex says pressuring her or trying to guilt her in to letting him off the hook is what the old Alex would’ve done, but the new Alex is learning that just because he has remorse for all of his actions, doesn’t mean that the people he hurt need to forgive him. Stephanie asks why he stopped her just now then. Alex responds that he needs her help. Alex doesn’t like to admit when he needs help, but calls it a special case. Stephanie asks what’s going on. Alex informs her that Maggie is heading to Greece with Victor to be with Bo. Stephanie understands they must be out of their minds with worry. Alex says that with Maggie gone, she left him in charge of a crucial deal that they have been working on for months and he’s a little anxious about it. Alex says he really can’t afford to screw this up. Stephanie asks what this has to do with her and how she can help. Alex informs her that he has a meeting tomorrow to pitch all of their strategies to all the parties involved. Alex says he’s been cramming his brain full of data but he would feel a lot more confident if he had her by his side.

Steve tells Harris that he’s grateful to him for stopping Thomas Banks from hurting Stephanie, but it wasn’t long ago that Harris put Stephanie’s life in danger with the exploding pizza box. Harris responds that he’s still haunted by what he did to Steve and John’s families. Chad reminds Steve that Harris was under Megan’s control when he did those things, just like Steve and John were in Hong Kong. Chad says they have both been there. Steve asks what about the things that Harris has done since then when under his own free will. Harris admits he knew what he was doing when he didn’t tell Hope the truth about Bo and has to live with that regret. Chad asks if Harris is here to make amends. Harris explains that Andrew thought if he helped find Kate, it could give him a small chance at redemption but he understands why they wouldn’t want his help. Chad doesn’t care if it helps them find Kate. Chad points out that Harris was a Navy SEAL so he could be their best bet to help. Harris agrees that his skills could be valuable and asks what Steve says.

Kate continues threatening to cut the man’s finger off if he doesn’t take her to his boss. He warns that his boss is very dangerous and does not want to be disturbed but then agrees to take her to him.

Gabi sits at the DiMera Mansion, reading an article about Kate being alive but missing. EJ comes home and calls out for Nicole, asking if she’s there because he saw her car in the garage. Gabi informs EJ that Nicole is not there so EJ asks where she went.

Nicole tells Kayla that she’s too young for menopause. Kayla says not necessarily since it’s not uncommon in your 40s. Nicole guesses she knew that but that she’s not ready for it, psychologically. Kayla encourages that maybe it’s not menopause and offers to run tests to get to the bottom of this which Nicole agrees to.

Stephanie questions Alex if wanting her at this meeting is another scheme to get them closer together. Alex swears it has nothing to do with that. Alex says that he and Maggie have been butting heads like crazy so he feels like this is his last chance to prove himself to her. Alex promises that him needing Stephanie’s help is legit and strictly business. Alex adds that he knows she is with Chad so he respects her relationship and boundaries. Stephanie asks what she would need to do at this meeting. Alex says he would just need her by his side, to keep him on track and help make sure he hits all the talking points that Maggie already approved. Alex declares that there’s nobody else for the job because Stephanie is the best. Alex truly thinks that his career at Titan depends on it. Stephanie acknowledges that Titan is still one of her biggest clients so this deal would be a big win for SJPR. Stephanie agrees to help him. Alex excitedly thanks her and stops himself from hugging her, then says he’s learning about boundaries. Stephanie says she will see him tomorrow. Alex promises she won’t regret it and thanks her again as she walks away.

Steve guesses they are in no position to turn down help, considering how short handed they are. Harris asks if that means he’s part of the team. Steve states that he’s working with the team for now, but warns that he will have his eye on him and swears to take Harris down, himself, if he pulls anything.

The man on the boat brings Kate to see his boss and tells her to wait there as he exits the room. The door then opens and Kate is shocked by who she sees.

Eric sits in the Pub with an ice pack on his face from EJ’s punch. Eric calls Nicole, but she ignores it because Kayla comes back to her hospital room and announces that she has news. Eric leaves a voicemail for Nicole to call him as soon as she gets it because EJ knows and he’s on a warpath.

EJ asks Gabi if she knows where Nicole is. Gabi responds that there’s so many possibilities as she could be reminiscing on old times with Rafe or sharing hot steamy chowder with Eric at the Pub. Gabi jokes that Nicole has so many exes that it’s hard to keep up. Gabi tells EJ not to bother calling Nicole because with how she’s feeling, she doubts she will pick up. EJ questions what the hell she is talking about. Gabi informs EJ that Nicole is at the hospital.

Nicole asks Kayla what the news is. Kayla announces that Nicole is not going through menopause which Nicole calls a relief. Kayla then reveals that it’s because Nicole is pregnant.

EJ wasn’t happy to see Gabi and Stefan making out on the couch. Gabi told him that she evaluated the employees. They didn’t want to work with him. He accused her of lying. She continued to list his faults. EJ didn’t think anyone would care what she thought about him. Stefan told him the board would care about it. EJ reminded him that Nicole was evaluating him too. He said she was going to report it to him. He walked out of the room. Nicole saw Eric and Sloan together. She rolled her eyes when she saw them kissing each other. After Sloan left, Nicole approached Eric. She thought they weren’t a couple. Eric told her they made up. She badmouthed Sloan and told him to make sure that Sloan doesn’t tell EJ that they slept together. Chanel talked to Paulina about Talia. Paulina was surprised that Talia was going out with her because she thought she was straight. Chanel thought she was too until she kissed her. Paulina wondered if she was ready to start dating after what happened with Allie. She missed Allie, but she was ready to move on with her life. She promised to take things slow with Talia. Paulina warned her that people aren’t who they seem to be. Colin told Talia that Chanel wouldn’t be able to resist her. She didn’t think she could go through with the plan. He tried to convince her to finish what they started. Jada was upset that Talia had a key made near the Square. Rafe followed her and reminded her that they didn’t have proof that Talia was responsible for the attacks against Paulina and Chanel. Jada was convinced that her sister was guilty. She could go to prison. Rafe reminded her that she didn’t have a motive so the culprit could be anyone. He took her hand and assured her they would figure it out.

Talia walked in the room so Rafe and Jada took their hands apart. Jada asked Talia if she attacked Paulina’s office. Rafe tried to stop her, but she kept talking to Talia about it. Talia was offended by what Jada said. She said that she had the key made that day. Jada wanted to know why she didn’t say anything about it before. Jada told her that she has been forgetting a lot of things lately. Jada followed her to test the key. Colin saw Sloan with a client. The client wasn’t sure if she should be represented by Sloan since she was in trouble. Colin looked at his phone and saw Talia’s text. Later, Talia met with Colin at the Bistro. She told him about her conversation with Jada. He believed that she could handle it. She was worried that Chanel would catch on that she’s not into women. Chanel walked in the Bistro. Sloan walked into EJ at the pub. She introduced herself to him, but he remembered meeting her before. She remembered how painful their meeting was, but it wasn’t as painful as catching Eric and Nicole in bed together. EJ was devastated by her admission. She apologized because she thought he knew about it. She said it was the drugged biscuits. She told him that it didn’t mean anything. Jada asked Rafe what he thought about Talia’s story. He thought it was strange, but they didn’t have a motive for her being the one who did it. He wanted to know why she would attack Paulina and Chanel.

General Hospital Character Description: Dr. Kevin Collins

Posted on May 5, 2023 by TvMegasite Admin

Dr. Kevin Collins

Kevin is a good guy who tries to help people. He’s a psychiatrist who devotes his time to helping others; he has a lot of compassion. His twin brother, Ryan Chamberlain, was a psychopath who came to Port Charles in 1992. Kevin came to town a year later, wanting to treat his brother. Kevin always felt a lot of guilt because he was more mentally fit than Ryan. When he was on “Port Charles,” we also learned that that their mother, Marilyn, sexually abused Ryan when they were children (and she had also mistakenly did the same to Kevin once, thinking he was Ryan, which resulted in their father taken Kevin away – but leaving Ryan behind). Ryan came in and out of the lives of Port Charles’ residents and was thought to be dead when he resurfaced in 2018 and took over Kevin’s life for a time, while imprisoning Kevin in his stead in the mental hospital. Kevin was eventually rescued by Franco and Jason, along with Carly and Laura.

Kevin always had a lot of sympathy for his brother, even though he was a killer and attacked Kevin many times. It is his greatest flaw. He always sees the good in people. He met Lucy Coe and fell for her. He helped her to become a better person, but she did let him down many times over the years, until he’d finally had enough, in 2014, when she cheated on him with Scott. They went through a lot together, including adopting little Christina and fighting vampires.

Kevin was temporarily psychotic in 2002 when he was injected with a drug and had a psychotic break.

Kevin has helped many people over the years, including Stone Cates, Carly Corinthos, Franco Baldwin, Lulu Spencer, Morgan Corinthos, Livvie Locke (who turned out to be his daughter) and others. Besides Lucy, he was married to Eve Lambert (on “Port Charles”) and is now married to Port Charles mayor Laura Spencer.

Kevin wrote a best-selling book called “General Homicide.” A psycho named Greg Cooper decided to take his revenge by copying the murders in Kevin’s book.

Kevin is great friends with Mac Scorpio, who was police commissioner for a long time. In 1995, the pair was very funny when they dressed up in drag as Norma & Eve to infiltrate a psychic’s seminar, to prove that she wasn’t really psychic. Mac is the one who fatally shot Ryan in 2023, but Kevin didn’t blame him. Mac has been more of a real brother to Kevin that Ryan ever was.

Kevin learned in 2023 that he has a niece, Esme (Ryan’s daughter with Heather), and a grand-nephew, Ace. Esme was a terrible person, but she has amnesia, so she is good (for now). Ace (among others) was kidnapped by Victor Cassadine in his plot to save the world (by killing millions of people).

General Hospital Character Description: Lucy Coe

Posted on May 5, 2023May 5, 2023 by TvMegasite Admin

Lucy Coe

Lucy was introduced in 1986 as a “mousy librarian” who tried to give Kevin O’Connor an alibi for his murdering several people. She was quickly found to be lying on the stand because she and Kevin were having an affair. Lucy was a schemer and liar but also smart and sexy. Lucy slept with Jake while he was married to Bobbie, which started a long feud with the nurse. She married Tony, which didn’t work. Then she married Alan for his money and had an affair with Scott. Lucy became pregnant by Jake, Scotty and Kevin, but she miscarried each time.

Lucy left town and returned later. Scotty was married to Dominique, who was dying of cancer. Lucy agreed to carry their baby as a surrogate. This was when the kinder side of Lucy started to emerge. She gave birth to their daughter, Serena, but then Scott and Serena left town because he became targeted by the mob. Lucy then took up with Kevin, and he helped her to become a better person. Their relationship had many ups and downs.

The show “Port Charles” was created, which centered around Lucy, Scott, Kevin and many interns. Lucy developed psychic abilities for a time, which led to her interfering in other people’s lives. Although engaged to Kevin, Lucy became jealous of his friendship with Eve, which led to her tampering with her car, and Serena became blind for a time as a result. This broke up Lucy and Kevin for a long time. She became involved again with Scott, and they got married, raising Serena. Eventually, they divorced.

Lucy and Kevin found their way back together, and he learned that he had a daughter, Livvie (a grown woman). Lucy discovered that there were vampires in town, and that she was descended from a long line of vampire slayers. She also met her cousin, Rafe, who was also a vampire slayer. After more ups and downs, they finally married. They also adopted a little girl, Christina.

Lucy and Kevin continued to have many struggles, most of them involving the supernatural. Kevin was injected with a drug that made him have a mental breakdown. Lucy fell in love with Ian, who became a vampire. However, he saved her life at the end of the series. Kevin and Lucy both returned (separately) to “General Hospital” in 2004 for Lila’s memorial service. She returned for good in 2012 to help with the Nurses’ Ball and became involved with a Quartermaine battle for control of ELQ, since she had voting shares.

She was committed to Ferncliff mental facility when she stabbed police detective John McBain with the leg of a chair, believing him to be Caleb (the vampire). It turned out that he was related to Caleb, and he was killed. Kevin and Lucy stayed in town, but she had an affair with Scott, which broke up her marriage.

Lucy continued to be nosy, and manipulative, and resourceful. She blackmailed Ava for a time. She ran the company “Deception” and also wrote a travel guide for Port Charles. She started dating quirky lawyer Martin Grey in late 2021.

In 2023, Lucy worked with Anna to get Victor Cassadine, which resulted in her being targeted by him for death. She was thought to be dead for a while, but she was just hiding out with Martin, Anna and Valentin.

Summer: I’m not crazy, dani

Daniel: Mom’s alive? You actually talked to her? For real?

Summer: I’m not crazy, daniel. I saw her. She told me all about the plan that she had with stark and how it all went wrong and he attacked her and he had to defend herself, so she ended up stabbing him with the scissors.

Daniel: What scissors? What are you talking about?

Summer: It’s true. You can ask chance. Or no, don’t ask chance. But the police must know about it. And how would I know, if I hadn’t talked to our very alive mother?

Daniel: So you’re saying stark is dead because…

Summer: Mom killed him.

[ Daniel chuckling ]

Daniel: Oh, my god.

Summer: Look, I know. I know that you thought that I was crazy. You thought I was spinning out of control and I– I sounded crazy. I mean, I saw mom. For anybody else, that would be impossible. But for our mom, faking her own death to get revenge on diane? You could see it, can’t you?

Daniel: This wasn’t just a what if scenario you were painting?

Summer: No. She explained everything to me.

Daniel: Here. I mean, she was actually here?

Summer: She was. And you and me, we– we’ve got to figure out a way to deal with it, but daniel, the good part in all of this, I mean, the joy, the relief… our mom is alive.

Daniel: Where is she now?

Michael: Good afternoon!

Diane: Well, you seem like you’re in a good mood.

Michael: For good reason.

Diane: Well, I don’t know why. The one person who could clear my name turned up dead.

Michael: And you heard that from jack?

Diane: Oh, yes. He keeps coming to visit. I keep asking him to stop. It’s kind of our thing now.

Michael: Aw. Jack’s doing everything he can to help you, diane.

Diane: I know. I know. And to be honest, I’m kind of glad he’s ignoring my wishes. His and kyle’s caring concern is the only thing getting me through this nightmare. Although the stress is weighing on both of them.

Michael: Hm. Well, maybe I can relieve their burden a bit.

Diane: How?

Michael: I have some good news. By the end of the day, I hope to have you out of here.

Jack: That’s right. I’m going to have to liquidate some capital. I need a cashier’s check today. I know it’s a lot of money, frank. Good. Let me know when it’s ready. Thanks.

Ashley: Hey, what’s that about?

Jack: I am in no mood to discuss that with you. Frankly, I am not interested in sharing any of the details of my personal conversations with you.

Ashley: If you want privacy, jack, go someplace else. This is a common room. You never know who’s gonna hear what around here.

Jack: Boy, and who do we have to thank for that? This latest stunt of yours is reprehensible. That you would choose this time for your dirty little trick. Throwing tucker in all of our faces. This is a new low, even for you.

Tucker: Hey.

Devon: Hey.

Tucker: The man I was looking for. Can I buy you a cup of coffee?

Devon: Buy me a cup of coffee? What’s your agenda for wanting to do that?

Tucker: No, no, it’s just that the last time our paths crossed, things were kind of tense between us.

Devon: Yeah, a little bit.

Tucker: Yeah. Some things were said, I said some things. After you rejected my suggestion that you buy mccall and… well, let’s just say it didn’t end well, so I was hoping to buy a cup of coffee and maybe we could, uh, work through something.

Devon: I’m in the middle of my work day here.

Tucker: Yes. No, I understand. Uh, my whole day’s free, so if it’s okay, I can just wait for you.

Devon: No, no, no, no. I don’t want you to wait around for me. I honestly– I don’t feel like taking a break from work and getting coffee.

Tucker: Oh. Okay. Well, then I’ll just tell you what I was gonna tell you.

Devon: Sure.

Tucker: First, uh, I sold mccall to victor newman.

Devon: That’s great news. Everything worked out for the best. Does that mean you’re gonna leave town now or?

Tucker: No. No. On the contrary, I’m staying.

Devon: Oh?

Tucker: Yeah. And you and dominic are the reasons why.

[ Devon exhaling ]

Victoria: It’s a good thing that our dinner meeting got moved to breakfast tomorrow morning.

Nate: It gives us more time to double check the numbers and refine the pitch.

Victoria: By the way, this column demonstrating growth, is really what sells the whole concept. You really outdid yourself with this presentation, I have to say. You continue to impress. On every front.

[ Nate clearing his throat ] What are you thinking?

Nate: Uh, I have to admit, I’m pleased with the analysis. I feel positive about the meeting. We do make a good team. But, uh, there’s something I need to say.

Sometimes you feel like a nut.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by… -you got this buddy.

-During an asthma attack,

Victoria: Okay. I’m listening.

Nate: I want to confirm that we’re putting aside the personal, for now, and focusing strictly on the business side. At least until I can figure out where my head is at.

Victoria: Yes. Yeah, I think that’s a good plan.

Nate: Really?

Victoria: I’M… I’m on board. We’ll focus strictly on work for now. I can only imagine how conflicted you must be. And I just want you to take time before you figure out what comes next.

Elena: So, this is what traveling on a business trip alone looks like.

Devon: I don’t really know how I fit into your plans since you’ve sold your company.

Tucker: Admittedly, uh, my first impulse was to hop on a plane and leave town and never look back, but I just… I can’t walk away without trying to repair our relationship. And I feel like, even if we can’t share the bond of running mccall together, maybe we can… create some new one.

Devon: You thought you’d start with coffee?

Tucker: Yeah. Oh, I also have a proposal for you.

Devon: Oh, do you?

Tucker: I do.

Devon: Here we go.

Tucker: So, I understand that the anniversary of neil’s death just passed and that abby’s helping you and lily host an event in his honor tonight?

Devon: That’s right. Yeah.

Tucker: Well… I owe neil so much for the love and support that he gave you. Because he raised you better than I ever could. So, what I would like to do is announce tonight, at the event, the coming of the neil winters international jazz festival, which I would produce. Can you think of a better tribute to him?

Diane: You’re getting me out of here? How? A jail break?

Michael: No, nothing so dramatic. I’m just gonna see to it that you are granted release on bail.

Diane: How is that even possible?

Michael: I appealed the no bail order. I thought the judge had a pattern of unjust arraignment decisions and so did the court of appeals. We were just granted a second arraignment, today, and I’m sure this judge, the new judge, judge betts, is gonna be far more understandable.

Diane: Judge betts? As in, all bets are off?

Michael: Ha ha. Ah. I brought you something to wear. Carefully curated from your closet by jack.

Diane: Jack knows about this?

Michael: Who do you think ordered me to find a way to get you out of here? Jack and kyle have been pressing me to do everything I can to help you. Not that I needed to be pressed, by the way.

Diane: I can’t believe this.

Michael: Given your history, your bail, it’s not gonna come cheap. But jack is out there arranging financing as we speak.

Diane: So, you’re saying that I might be able to walk out of here today?

Michael: This is happening. Okay? Now, go get dressed. Guard! Oh, and try not to look like a flight risk.

[ Michael chuckling ]

Summer: I don’t know where mom is. I– I don’t know how to find her. Maybe… maybe she’s still close, keeping an eye on us.

Daniel: Do you think she’d risk sticking around?

Summer: It’s not like anybody is looking for her. But you’re right. She could be long gone by now.

Daniel: I can’t believe that she’s just been letting us suffer like this. She’s been here the whole time just watching us and you’re okay with this?

Summer: No! I’m not okay with it. I– I feel every single thing that you’re feeling right now. I don’t know how to make sense of any of it, but I am just–

[ Summer sighing ] I’m just trying to focus on the fact that we have a chance to have our mom back.

Daniel: That’s good. That’s good. See, you might be able just to gloss over this, but I think I’m gonna need a minute with it.

[ Daniel exhaling ]

Summer: Daniel. She realized that it was a terrible and vicious idea, but… stark was the one that pushed her into it. He manipulated her emotions. He– he played up this idea that everyone had turned their backs on her. He– he forced her into going along with his plan for revenge against diane…

Daniel: He forced her? He forced her! He forced her, summer? She didn’t have to go along with it.

Summer: Look. She felt like everyone had abandoned her. She was hurt and she was frustrated and in a moment of weakness, she gave in. And then it all went wrong.

[ Daniel scoffing ]

Daniel: Yeah, I would say that it definitely went wrong, summer. Are you kidding me?

Summer: She regretted it. She regretted it immediately and she wanted to come back to us, but when stark got wind of that, he wouldn’t have any of it and he attacked her and that’s when she had to defend herself and… she killed him and now she’s on the run.

Daniel: You gotta be kidding me. This is a nightmare.

Summer: Mom feels trapped. She feels like there’s no way out of this.

Daniel: Well, there might not be.

Summer: Daniel. We need to face the fact that our mom is far from innocent. I mean, she wanted revenge on diane in a big way. Diane stole the life that she wanted to have with jack and– and she was fighting with us and…

Daniel: With us? Are you blaming us for what she did, now?

Summer: We both said that we felt terrible about the way that we treated her, that shouldn’t change now.

Daniel: She can’t just live her life on the run, summer. She’s got no id, she’s got no money. How would she survive?

Summer: I’m sure that stark took care of all of that. She probably has everything she needs to start a new life.

Daniel: Oh, good. Good. And you’re okay with this? You’re okay with her just disappearing, just like that. No consequences. You’re fine with this? When you have chronic kidney disease.

[ Daniel sighing ]

Summer: I am not happy about what mom did. She asked me to keep this secret, but I couldn’t keep it from you. We were both suffering so much and that’s why I tested the waters with that little “what if” scenario just to see how you might react.

Daniel: But then I pointed out that there were no easy solutions to your little “what if” scenario.

Summer: If mom is found alive, then everything that she did to diane is gonna come out and she could go to prison for that.

[ Daniel chuckling ]

Daniel: Well, if they can’t prove that it was self-defense when she killed stark, then…

Summer: She could be locked up for the rest of her life. And we will lose her all over again. Daniel, we can’t let that happen.

Ashley: Here’s the thing, jack. You didn’t care at all how any of us felt when you moved diane in here. So get over yourself. You’ll just have to learn to tolerate tucker the same way you demanded I learn to tolerate diane.

Jack: I cannot believe you have fallen for that scoundrel again.

Ashley: Scoundrel. What a great word. For your information, I’m in complete control of my actions and my feelings, unlike you. And honestly, having tucker here, how does it really affect you?

Jack: How does it–

Ashley: Yeah.

Jack: He’s under my roof!

Ashley: I forgot this is your house and we’re all just visiting. I wonder how our father would feel about that.

Jack: Tensions are high enough without you adding to them.

Ashley: Why do we have tension in this house? Could it be because of your fiance? Who’s charged with murdering summer’s mother? I don’t know.

Jack: Falsely charged. And diane has triple reason for being here. She is my fiance, she’s kyle’s mother, she’s harrison’s grandmother. She is family, ash, whether you like it or not. Whereas tucker is a veritable stranger. To summer and kyle and harrison. And by the way, how are you going to present tucker to harrison? What– what– what’s he supposed to call him?

Ashley: Aunt ashley’s friend?

Jack: And what’s gonna happen when diane and tucker are under the same roof? Have you thought about that?

Ashley: I have. But you know, diane’s in jail. We don’t know when or if she’s even going to get out.

Jack: Think again. If michael is correct and I suspect he is, diane could be home as soon as today.

Tucker: Yeah, man. Picture it. We kick it off here in genoa city at the neil winters jazz lounge, with the top jazz acts in the world and then we launch a tour of the hottest venues in the world. Go from there.

Devon: Okay. Well, it’s a whole lot to consider within hours, you know. I’m not gonna make a decision about something that big before the party. And the whole point of this evening was just to have close friends and family get together and share memories and listen to music. It’s not meant to be about anything else. No announcements for festivals. And even if it were, it wouldn’t be your announcement to make.

Victoria: Elena, um, this is a surprise. Are you hungry? We haven’t ordered yet. We’re just running a little bit behind–

Elena: Victoria, shut up. I don’t want to hear any more lies or excuses. This is between nate and me. Unless you’re relying on victoria to fight your battles for you. Along with whatever else you’re relying on her for.

Nate: Excuse us, victoria. Would you mind if I spoke to elena alone?

Victoria: Of course, of course. I’ll give you some space.

Nate: What are you doing here? Did you just decide to–

Elena: No. You do not get to question me as if I did something wrong. And please do not let the next words that come out of your mouth be something that makes me disrespect you even more than I disrespect you now. I want you to look me in the eyes and tell me the truth. What is going on between you two?

[ Nate clearing his throat ]

Nate: Victoria and I slept together.

[ Elena gasping ] “Look at this skin, baby.

Elena: I believed in you, I trusted you, I supported you and this is how you repay me?

Nate: Elena, listen.

Elena: No, you listen, nate. You’re pathetic. Sneaking around, acting like you’re on a business trip.

Nate: This is business. I didn’t come here with the intention of sleeping with victoria–

Elena: But you did sleep with victoria. And you did lie. You told me that you were coming here alone.

Nate: I didn’t know how to–

Elena: Do not insult my intelligence, nate. Don’t act like this all just happened out of the blue. I have been suspecting this since the beginning. And when I confronted you about it, you lied to me.

Nate: You’ve got this all wrong.

Elena: Do I really? You told me I was being paranoid. Do you really think so little of me? Honestly, maybe you should. Because up until the moment that I walked into this restaurant, I’ve been a complete fool. I actually held on to hope… that there was some type of misunderstanding. That I was just mistaken somehow, but no, my instincts were right all along.

Nate: Elena, please. I never meant to hurt–

Elena: No, it doesn’t matter what you meant to do, nate. It matters what you actually did. And I cannot believe you’re still trying to gaslight me into believing that I’m wrong and that I’m blowing this out of proportion.

Nate: That is not what I am saying.

[ Elena sighing ]

Elena: You know, you spent a lot of time trying to rekindle our relationship. Impromptu dates. Afternoon lovemaking. Dream vacations. For the two of us. So tell me, was all of that just to overcompensate for your guilt? Come on, nate! Be honest. I want to know how long this has been going on because I finally want to know how much of a liar and a cheater you are.

Tucker: I hear what you’re saying. Back off, right? I was maybe a little over eager. Forgive me.

Devon: No, you don’t– you don’t need to apologize. It was a fine idea. It’s just bad timing.

Tucker: Right. Well, it’s just one idea. I’ve got lots of time to come up with others. Starting to put down roots here actually.

Devon: Really?

Tucker: Yeah.

Devon: How so?

Tucker: Well, ashley’s finally starting to forgive me. In fact, she’s asked me to move in with her.

Ashley: I see. So, that’s why you were arranging a cashier’s check. Bail money. You’re crazy if you think she’s gonna be out any time soon. She’s a flight risk and there’s no court on the planet that’s gonna let her loose.

Jack: Michael feels he has just cause to have her bail reconsidered.

Ashley: He really thinks he can pull this off?

Jack: Oh, he’s the best at what he does and his client is innocent. So, yes, I think justice will prevail and diane will be brought home where she belongs.

Ashley: This isn’t her home and she doesn’t belong here. Period.

[ Jack inhaling ]

Summer: I know that this is hard to process. I mean, I think about it all night instead of sleeping and it still never makes any sense.

[ Daniel chuckling ]

Daniel: Yeah, mom, she could have come to the both of us. Why’d she put this all on you?

Summer: Even if we knew her reasons, do you think that they’d make any more sense than the rest of this? Daniel, I’m begging you, don’t say anything about this to anyone.

[ Daniel scoffing ] Who am I gonna tell, summer? And who would believe me anyway?

Summer: I tried to get information out of chance. Thought maybe he could give me something that would help me to see a way to get mom out of this.

Daniel: And?

Summer: Seemed like he was getting suspicious, so I backed off. We’ve got to do everything that we can to protect her until we figure this out.

Daniel: And what if we can’t?

Summer: Maybe it’S… best that we just let her disappear. Start a new life without us.

[ Daniel sighing ]

Daniel: And you’re okay with that, hm?

Summer: It would kill me. I would hate it. But if it meant that she was free instead of spending the rest of her life in prison, then yeah. I would do anything to keep her safe. Wouldn’t you?

Daniel: What about diane, summer? Hm? You willing to let her take the fall for a murder that doesn’t exist? You willing to just sit back, watch her get tried, watch her get convicted. You can live with that? Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. (Buzz) morning!

Nate: I had no intention of this happening. You know how much I care about you. Nothing I did was false or out of guilt. I love you. I wanted to be the man that you loved. I honestly tried to fight this.

Elena: But what? You just couldn’t, could you? You were just too mesmerized by the charms of victoria newman to stop yourself?

Nate: It is not like that.

Elena: You know, when your and devon’s relationship blew up, after you tried to sabotage your family, they all accused you of changing. They said that you were ruthless and selfish and I defended you. I tried to encourage you to take the higher path and to fix things with your family because deep down, I thought the man that I was in love with still existed.

Nate: I am still that man.

Elena: You can’t possibly believe that. Look at yourself, nate. You have changed. And not for the good. Unless… this is who you’ve always been. Selfish and ambitious. Either way, you can go straight to hell. Or you can go back upstairs to your hotel room with your boss. It’s over.

Devon: Wow.

Tucker: Yeah.

Devon: All right. That’s some big news. Uh, does abby know that you’ve moved into the abbott house?

Tucker: That I don’t know.

Devon: Uh. Yeah, I don’t think she realizes how serious things have gotten between you and her mom.

Tucker: Ah, things haven’t gotten all that serious. Ashley has me on this… double secret probation. But I thought, you know, the fact that she’s given me a shot, maybe you’ll be more inclined to do the same.

Devon: I mean, we’re two different people with two very different relationships with you. So just because she’s coming around to trusting you doesn’t mean I’m automatically gonna do the same thing, you know that.

Tucker: Yeah. Uh… okay. Heh. I don’t know. I wish I could be there tonight, but I understand why I can’t be. I will raise a glass to neil and thank him for everything that he did for you that I couldn’T. Hope it goes well.

Devon: Hang on a second. Um, I understand that your idea for this festival is just, it’s your way of trying to build a bridge between us and I appreciate you doing it. So, if you would like to be there tonight, I’m more than happy to invite you.

Tucker: I would love to be there.

Devon: All right.

Tucker: I’d be honored to be there. Thank you.

Devon: Yeah.

Jack: Yeah, I thought I’d have heard by now myself, kyle. Um, you know, maybe that’s a good thing. It’s a lot of paperwork when someone’s being released. If she was denied bail, she’d be back in her cell now. Yeah, I promise I will call as soon as I hear anything. The judge denied bail.

[ Laughing ]

Diane: Mm.

Summer: Wait a second. Are you kidding me right now? Diane is far from innocent in all of this. Are you forgetting the fact that she abandoned kyle as a kid? And when she finally came back, it was one secret, one lie after another and she’s been going after jack the entire time, denying it every step of the way. She is the one that brought stark here. She brought all of this on herself. She brought it onto all of us too!

Daniel: Diane might not be innocent in general, summer, but she’s not guilty of murder.

Summer: Maybe this is karmic justice coming back to bite her. I mean, would it– would it really be that bad to get a little break from diane? I mean, even just for a little while, while we try to figure out a way to bring our mom back home safely.

Daniel: Listen to yourself. You hear yourself talking right now? Because you sound just like mom. Did you forget that diane is your husband’s mother? That– that it’s harrison’s grandmother? I mean, how are you gonna look kyle in the face every single day knowing the truth. Knowing that his innocent mother is locked up behind bars somewhere? Our mother did the same damn thing! Our mother faked her own death just like diane. She really any better than her? Up at 2:00am again?

Michael: I don’t know if you’re going for some world record hug, but I think you should know that, uh, all this time is billable.

Jack: Worth every penny, michael, you had a plan, you made it work. I am beyond grateful.

Michael: I don’t think I had any choice. As I recall, you ordered me to make it happen.

Diane: And you did, because you’re brilliant and I’m sorry if I gave you a hard time.

Michael: You were under a great deal of stress. Look, dealing with frustrated clients is part of the job.

Diane: You should have seen him, jack. Michael’s argument was so eloquent and impassioned and by the time he was done, the judge couldn’t help but release me.

Michael: Well, when you know in your heart what you’re doing is right, it’s easy. But thank god for judge betts. He got on board and here we are.

Jack: You are to be commended, counselor.

Michael: Now wait. Hold. There was a moment– there was a moment that I thought betts was going to deny us and all I could hear in my head, jack, was your voice saying “make it happen.” So, I suggested some more terms to diane’s release, and bam, he went for it.

Jack: More terms?

Diane: I’m under house arrest, which means I have to wear an ankle monitor. Just– just throughout the trial. And for now, the price of my freedom was that and handing over my passport.

Michael: And of course, the significant bail amount?

Diane: Yes, thank you. I am so grateful for that. Hey, why do you look so relieved? Weren’t you confident about the outcome?

Jack: I was worried. In case you hadn’t noticed, good luck has not been on our side.

Diane: Hm.

Victoria: So, what happened?

Nate: Nothing good.

Victoria: I guess you didn’t tell her beforehand that I was going to be joining you in L.A.

Nate: I knew it would cause a big argument, so I just avoided it.

Victoria: Maybe it’s because I’m not the only one that was hoping that something might happen between us here.

Nate: I didn’t come on this trip with that intention. I would never purposely deceive elena. That is not who I am.

Victoria: I’m not saying that you did anything consciously. Maybe there’s another possibility.

Nate: What’s that?

Victoria: Maybe subconsciously you were– you were hoping that you would get caught. You know, it’s just a way to force the issue and try to end your relationship with her.

Nate: And let elena find out like that?

[ Nate scoffing ] Makes me sound like a hell of a coward. Saving myself some awkwardness to cause her terrible pain?

Victoria: Okay. One thing is obvious. Your actions show that maybe you weren’t truly as happy in this relationship as you tried to tell yourself and everyone else.

Tucker: Hey.

[ Ashley groans ] Uh oh, what did jack do now?

Ashley: It’s just so absurd.

Tucker: Really?

Ashley: Yes.

Tucker: Did he try to convince you to kick me out?

Ashley: No, he wishes, but no. He’s trying to break diane out of jail apparently.

Tucker: That’s great. Really? A jail break? That’s exciting.

Ashley: No. Not really. No, he’s trying to bail her out of jail actually.

Tucker: Oh, that’s less exciting. Although it might be fun to bump into diane over a morning coffee.

Ashley: Please just stop. That is the stuff of nightmares. How was your day?

Tucker: Uh, I just came from seeing devon.

Ashley: Oh, that’s good news.

Tucker: Yeah. Except that… I let the cat out of the bag.

Ashley: What cat.

Tucker: I may have let slip that I’ve moved in with you.

Ashley: Oh!

Tucker: So you might want to let abby know before she hears it from him.

Ashley: I did not want her to hear that from anybody. But I mean, why did you do that?

Tucker: I’m sorry. I– I regretted it as it was coming out of my mouth. But, this is exactly why you asked me to move in with you in the first place.

Ashley: Oh, really?

Tucker: Yeah. Just… to figure out us. If we belong together. Right?

Ashley: Okay.

Tucker: Under all circumstances, cohabitating with jack and diane and dealing with my big mouth, with my son who is living with your daughter. See how it is. This is, uh, this is us.

Ashley: This is fun.

Tucker: This is glorious, complicated us.

Victoria: Hey, what happened to your plan to compartmentalize business and personal? You think you can still do that?

Nate: Hm. Given my private life just exploded? I’m not sure I can.

Victoria: I understand. You know, there’s a huge difference between compartmentalizing and ignoring though. I’m so sorry about what happened today. I really am. I certainly didn’t mean to deceive or hurt elena either. If you need some time to step away and process everything that happened…

[ Nate chuckling ]

[ Nate sighing ]

Nate: Yeah. I need to take some time.

Ashley: So, any luck with that big mysterious plan of yours?

Tucker: I had this fantastic idea. I thought it was fantastic. Uh, of the neil winters international jazz festival.

Ashley: I love that idea.

Tucker: I know, I do too. And I was hoping to announce it at the tribute tonight.

Ashley: How did devon respond–

Tucker: Shut it down.

Ashley: Oh. Are you okay? How do you keep handling all this rejection from him?

Tucker: Well, it wasn’t a total bust. He did appreciate the gesture and he invited me to the event tonight. Which reminds me, would you happen to be in need of a date?

Ashley: Uh, yeah.

Tucker: I gotta come up with something to show devon that my intentions are genuine and I don’t know what it is, but I feel like I’ve got limited time to come up with it.

Jack: You have no idea how grateful I am to have you home. Harrison is going to be thrilled. He asked about you every single day.

Diane: Oh, no. How will we explain where I’ve been?

Jack: Oh, easy, we told him you were on a trip. You can just say you came back early.

Diane: Oh, that’s good. I can’t wait to see his little face.

Jack: I’ve already texted kyle with the good news. He’s on his way. He wasn’t able to reach summer yet.

Diane: Well, I have a feeling summer won’t be as excited to see me as you and kyle.

Jack: Well, we don’t know that.

Diane: I do. And I can hardly blame her. I mean, I’m out here walking around and her mother’s gone. You know, maybe I should be staying somewhere else.

Jack: No, no, no. House arrest means this house. Here with me. I am not letting you out of my sight.

Diane: Oh, jack.

Jack: No, I mean it. I am more determined than ever to marry you as soon as possible. If I’ve learned nothing else from all of this, I never want to lose you.

Diane: Aw.

Summer: Obviously, we can’t let diane be punished for something that never happened. All I’m saying is that we need to clear our mom before we clear diane.

Daniel: I don’t know, summer. I think that the only way out of this is to go to the police and tell them the truth. We can go to chance. We told him what happened. He’ll– he’ll help us. We can’t do this on our own.

Summer: Daniel! Wait. Slow down. Sure, chance is understanding, but there’s gotta be another way.

Daniel: I am worried about mom and diane. Trust me. Honesty is the only way that’s gonna fix the situation. Mom comes home, she will be dealt with in the most fair and supportive way possible. I’m going to the police.

Summer: No.

Daniel: Summer! We are accessories to a crime now.

Summer: No, we can’t do that. We need more time. We can’t go to the police, when we don’t have a solution. That would put mom in prison for the rest of her life. Daniel, I promised her that i wouldn’t tell anyone, especially the cops.

Daniel: You told me!

Summer: Because I couldn’t hold it in any longer. I needed someone that I could trust. I needed an ally that would understand. Don’t tell me that I made a mistake. Please tell me that you are that person. Daniel, wait! Are you that person? Are you?

Daniel: I don’t know.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[Soft music]

Hey.

Hey, hi.

You thinking about willow?

Yeah, is it that obvious?

Well, she’s your daughter. We’re all thinking about her.

I don’t suppose you have news?

On liesl or anybody else, no, unfortunately. But I have been doing some digging on who tipped off the sec about carly and drew’s insider trading.

Oh. What’d you find?

[Monitor beeping]

[Tense music]

It was exhaustion, right? I mean, first, it was all the excitement from the wedding, then the sec showing up. I mean, the whole day zapped willow of her energy. That’s why she passed out, right?

Willow was exhausted, for sure, especially for someone in her condition.

Yeah.

What?

I’m afraid it’s more than that.

I’m sorry. I know that we put this on for a distraction.

But you can’t be distracted.

Between trina, and willow, and now my mom and drew–

I get it. It’s too much.

What if drew and liesl don’t make it back?

One thing I learned in the military is that you have to hold out hope, even in the worst of circumstances. You never know when the tide is going to shift.

Well, can it shift now, please? Hope?

It’s a powerful thing.

[Sighs] Then I will hold on to it. And I will pray that drew gets everybody home safely. He has to. Willow’s life depends on it.

My grandmother is on the island with drew?

Yeah, she insisted, come hell or high water.

I knew your grandmother was supposed to be a badass, but to face down victor cassadine?

Yeah, it almost makes you feel sorry for the guy. Almost.

Stand down.

Very wise. It’d be a real shame if she dropped it.

You drop it, you die.

But so do you. I’m thinking that just might be worth it.

[Dramatic music]

[Grunts]

There’s no way out,

at least not that way.

You’re dead.

What is death

but another country?

Oh, come, my son.

Let me take you away

from everything and everyone.

[Monitor beeping]

Wait, wait, you have no idea the power you have in your hands right now.

I think I do.

Then think of willow. Tell her, liesl. If you die, so does your innocent niece.

Better to lose one innocent life than a whole world of them.

Wait, what are you doing?

Saving humanity.

[Dramatic music]

Ok, so what made willow collapse tonight?

Look, dr. Randolph is the specialist. I’m reluctant to say too much before you speak with her.

Look, tj, I trust you. More importantly, willow trusts you. Just tell me what’s going on.

Willow has some bleeding that’s not clotting.

Right, because of her low blood cell count.

We will be giving her platelets to get that under control. But all of this is an indication that her body is breaking down and she can’t produce enough cells to fight back.

Ok, we all know that. We’re running out of time. We got that. Most importantly right now, I need to know, what are we gonna do about it?

[Somber music]

Tonight was michael and willow’s wedding. And for a little while, nothing else mattered– just the way they looked at each other and the promises they made. I mean, what if drew and liesl don’t make it back in time?

Drew kane is an ex-navy seal, remember? Those guys, more than anyone, know how to finish the job.

I believe it. Drew’s gonna get everybody home safe. But when he does, then he and my mom have the sec breathing down their necks.

Sonny is working on that.

And that’s great that sonny’s working on that. And he’s got the sec following a false trail, and that’s bought some more time– for now. But even if everything works out and everything goes according to plan, sonny is still gonna end up in prison. Unless you’re the one having second thoughts about that?

So far, I’ve come up empty. But it’s just a matter of time before whoever tipped off the sec about carly and drew is gonna be uncovered. And I got my contacts in dc. They’re, you know, trying to figure out what kind of case they have against drew. That’s if he comes back.

No, don’t say that. Drew has to come back. He has to bring everybody back. He has to bring aunt liesl back, or else willow–

you know I’m praying for that. You know that, right? But the sec is not gonna wait for carly.

Wait, are you saying that they might charge carly even without drew here?

Well, I don’t know about the rest of it. But I tell you what, I’m gonna make sure that carly is not left holding the bag.

But, sonny, what if that’s not possible?

Let’s go, scorpio.

I’ve got to talk to the director.

If you’re referring to frisco jones, he’s been replaced. If you mean the new director, he’s not taking your calls.

Well, you call him. Tell him to abort the mission before the bureau bombs that island.

Do I need to remind you you’re under arrest?

Do I need to remind you there are lives are at stake?

Innocent lives!

There’s nothing I can do about that. Now, come on.

Of course there is.

I’m taking you into custody.

[Clears throat] I’m so sorry, but I’m afraid da scorpio is not going anywhere.

Says who?

Says me.

[Dramatic music]

My grandmother is more than a match for uncle victor, but it’s not gonna be a fair fight. This place is crawling with guards.

Let me worry about laura, ok? The three of you get to safety.

I can’t just leave her behind.

That’s exactly what you’re gonna do. There’s a seaplane waiting offshore on the east side of the island. You guys get there, and get the hell out of here.

What about you?

I’ll be fine.

You don’t know that.

[Sighs]

You don’T. I can’t lose you now, not when we don’t even know if I–we just– I just–

[Sighs]

[Tense music]

You may be willing to die for mankind, but I doubt these two share that view.

Yet again, you couldn’t be more wrong.

Laura, you need to know–

silence her!

[Muffled speech]

Did you really think that I would hold my own life more precious than the lives of my children and my grandchildren?

Oh, very well. If you are determined to play the role of a martyr, go ahead, do it. Die for your cause before I kill you for it.

[Tense music]

Oh, I’m sorry. Did I forget to mention the pathogen has to be activated by uv light? In other words, good old-fashioned sunshine. Otherwise, it’s quite harmless. Isn’t that right, liesl?

I tried to warn you.

I’m sorry, laura. Your martyrdom will just have to wait for another day.

And her?

No, not yet. We need to keep the good doctor breathing just long enough to test the antidote on our guinea pig.

[Dramatic music]

No, I’m not going anywhere with you. I’m going home with charlotte and anna.

You’re dying.

It’s time to accept reality.

You were never good enough,

valentin.

Not for anna, not for anyone.

That’s not true.

They’ll all be

better off without you.

Agh!

[Sobbing]

Oh, there, there.

Oh, it won’t be long now.

You’re not gonna lose me, but you guys need to get out of here right now.

The satellite phone.

What?

There’s a satellite phone behind the bar. I can call jordan on the way and tell her to send help.

Great plan. I don’t have to tell you how hugely important that young lady is to me.

I know.

Spencer, I’m counting on you to get her out of here to safety. The pilot has orders to take off as soon as you’re on board. Do not wait for me, no matter how much she begs you.

Understood.

Spencer, I need to know that I can trust you.

You can.

Ok, got it.

All right, it’s time to move. You guys, just be smart. Let’s be safe.

That goes double for you. Curtis? I know everything’s so uncertain right now, but I– I–

I know, kiddo. Me, too.

Is there anything we can do for willow? Just name it, and it’s done.

Again, I will defer to whatever dr. Randolph thinks is best.

Dr. Randolph isn’t here! I’m sorry.

Don’t apologize.

Just tell me what I can do to bring my wife home.

Well, that’s just it, michael. I don’t think willow should go home, not if the goal is to buy her more time.

Of course, that’s the goal.

Is hospice an option?

It’s always an option. They will definitely keep willow comfortable until she transitions.

Transitions?

Oh.

What, to death?

I hate this, too, michael.

Ok, what if she stays here?

Then

we can treather symptoms as they develop, increasing her chances of surviving until drew gets back. But I will not lie to you. Willow will be in a great deal of pain due to her enlarged lymph nodes putting pressure on her organs.

Right, ok. This just keeps getting better and better. So either I bring my wife home to die comfortably, or she stays in the hospital suffering to survive or maybe– maybe not.

It’s a horrible choice, I know.

But one you have to make.

What makes you think I’m having second thoughts?

Because you see something in sonny that michael and I don’T. And I get it. I used to see it, too. It’s not as easy to turn him in as you thought, is it?

Michael hired me to do a job, and I intend to finish it. A job that if I hadn’t taken, it would have never brought me to you.

So no regrets?

It’s not regret to admit that two things can be true.

Such as?

Sonny is breaking federal law violating the nsa and he deserves to be in prison. He also saved my life when he didn’t have to. So when the feds come for him,I’m gonna feel bad, but my part in this is already over. I got the footage. I gave it to michael. It’s in your brother’s hands now.

Damn ned. I tell you, I could kill him for putting carly and drew in this position.

Ned?

It’s what the quartermaines do. I mean, you know what? Michael’s distracted. Valentin and drew were off the grid. So now, ned is gonna make his move.

Well, it’s a good thing that the sec didn’t hold carly overnight.

And I bought drew some time, also, right?

Yeah, it was really wonderful of you to do that. I’m sure michael and carly were very grateful.

You know, I’m not looking for a pat on the back.

No, of course you’re not. It doesn’t mean that I can’t give you one.

Ok, here’s the thing. I’m gonna do everything that I can for my family. You understand? I don’t care what’s going on between us. If somebody messes with one of us, they mess with all of us. And I’m telling you right now, if ned had anything to do with it, he better brace himself.

You know, I’ve been thinking about what you said about, you know, flying down to the islands.

You said you didn’t want to go.

I know I did, but I reconsidered. How soon can we leave?

[Dramatic music]

I thought you didn’t want to go, with everything up in the air with willow?

Yeah, well, I’m still a little uneasy about it, but you made a point when you said, you know, you know, we can get back to port charles in, what, a few hours? And, sonny, I really think that we need a little time alone to recharge and regroup. And, you know, when we get back home, we’ll be even more ready to help whoever needs us. Unless– I know that you’re dealing with a big business thing. Is that gonna stop you from getting away?

I took care of it.

Ok. Is that a yes?

Just let me make a call.

Ok.

[Laughter]

Listen, I doub t thatmichael is gonna call the feds on sonny any time soon. He is so focused on willow.

Totally understandable.

But it’s not great for you.

Until michael puts him away, I’m always gonna be looking over my shoulder, wondering if this is the end, if he’s onto me. Who wants to live like that?

Not me.

Not me, either.

Still, for this last little bit of time before all hell breaks loose and my family is divided into team sonny and team michael, I’m just gonna enjoy the peace. And I’m so glad that I get to enjoy it with you.

[Soft music]

[Cell phone ringing]

[Sighs]

What’s wrong?

[Sighs]

Boss?

Brick is using my jet. I need you to contact the private airstrip and have them charter a plane as soon as possible. I’ll send you the contact information.

Destination?

Paradise.

What did he want?

A plane out of town tonight.

You don’t think he knows what you and michael are planning?

No, if he was on to me, I would be the one leaving town. Sonny will make sure that I never come back.

You and willow are married now. So while she’s unconscious, what happens next is up to you.

Willow wouldn’t want to die in a hospital. The lights, the sound, she hates it all so much.

[Sighs]

Ok, michael, I know you want to respect that. But what if keeping her here means she doesn’t die?

There are so many variables, none of which I have any control over. I don’t know. I don’t know. I got–I need to think.

Thank you. Thank you for being so steady around him. I mean, I know this is torture for you, too.

I just wish I could do more for both of them.

We all do.

You hanging in there?

Trying. You know, I just want to be strong for michael, but most of the time, I just want to crawl up in a ball.

But you don’T. I mean, that’s what matters, carly, you’re here by his side, offering any support he needs. Michael’s lucky to have you.

He’s lucky to have you, too. We all are.

The last thing that I want is for you to be in more pain. Make that the second to last thing that I want.

[Sighs] Oh, my god, willow, how did we get here?

We’re getting married.

[Both laugh]

That’s the plan, yes.

No, like, we are getting married. I’m going to be your wife.

I can’t wait.

I know we have this crazy, scary thing looming over us, but I don’t want it to overshadow the amazing fact that we are marrying each other because we love each other. Whether we get 60 hours or 60 years, you’re my guy. What?

I don’t know, it’s just the last time I’m seeing you before you become my wife. I just want to remember this moment.

I’ll never forget it.

I have to tell you how thankful I am. I mean, for your friendship, for your– your courage, your love, your compassion. Most importantly, how you’ve been such an amazing mother to wiley and now amelia. I mean, the fact that I getto call you my wife…

michael?

Hey, hey.

Hey, listen, you need to be really careful. Nothing gets past sonny. And if he’s starting to suspect–

don’t worry. I’ll be careful.

[Cell phone ringing]

Mom?

Honey, it’s willow.

What happened?

I’m on my way.

Everything ok?

Willow has been taken to the hospital.

Ok, I’ll drive you.

No, no, you have to stay here.

You’re upset.

You have to deal with sonny. You have to deal with sonny, and I have to be with my family.

I’ll walk you out.

That, I’ll take you up on.

This is a matter of national– no, make that international security. You have no jurisdiction here.

Well, that’s actually for a judge to decide and the precedent set by chandler versus the united states.

Oh, I just love it when she talks precedents.

This is your doing, isn’t it?

I have faith in mayor collins and our friends. Just give them a chance to come through.

Faith is nice, but those bombs are a sure thing.

The only sure thing in your future is a discussion about da scorpio’s civil rights. I would take those handcuffs off of him, unless you want them to be a part of that discussion. Now, by all means, contact your superiors. I, of course, will be contacting the federal district court.

[Dramatic music]

I hate to say it, but hursley may be right. If laura and the rest of them fail–

they won’T.

It’s not gonna matter much unless I can talk that new director into calling off the drone strike.

Ok, I think we should be all good with these. But I think the baby’s gonna need another blanket because it’s really cold out there, ok?

Trina, wait.

I’ll be right back.

No, I don’t like the idea of you going off on your own right now.

Two minutes. You can time me.

Hey, I wish I could have gone with curtis, but I couldn’t leave you behind, yeah. It’s just us, buddy. It’s you, and me, and–

[Footsteps] That was fast. You’re not trina.

No, I most certainly am not.

I’m sorry. I don’t think I ever got your name.

No, but I know yours, young mr. Cassadine. And you and that baby are not going anywhere.

[Dramatic music]

Bring her over here. Put her with the doctor. Well, since I interpreted the meaning of operation demeter, you are now–well, in a word, useless to me.

[Loud bangs]

[Alarm blaring] What in the devil is that?

Did you bring a plus one?

I thought you did.

I knew there were more of them. Go, find them, kill them.

[Explosion]

Oh, my god, oh!

[Grunting]

Agh!

Watkins, go get her!

[Dramatic music]

There’s plenty of security on this ship– nice, big fellows who can stop you from leaving. But we don’t want to upset the baby by involving him in a struggle. So why don’t you just hand him over?

Better idea, you go back to the stateroom and forget you ever saw us.

The senior mr. Cassadine hired me to care for the baby. I won’t disappoint him. Anyone on this channel, there’s been a breach. I need backup–

[Dramatic music]

Less than two minutes.

Your timing is perfect.

Did you get through to josslyn?

Yeah, yeah, she should be here any time.

How is she handling everything?

Like mother, like daughter. You know, she puts on a brave face, but like everyone else, she’s terrified.

Who are you calling terrified?

Hey.

Hi. Oh.

You’re right, I’m terrified.

Me, too. Me, too.

How you feeling?

I’m ok, I think. What happened?

You, um– you passed out. We took you to the hospital.

We were talking about sonny.

Yeah, you know what? We’re done with that conversation, I promise. But first–

we need to focus on my health.

You need that transplant, willow.

I know. While we wait,

I want to behome with you and the kids.

I want that, too, for all of us. But, willow, your best chance– your only chance is to stay here in the hospital.

[Soft music]

So here’s what we’re gonna do. We’re gonna go by your place. We’re gonna get your clothes, put them in a bag, and then we’ll go to the airstrip.

It sounds perfect.

As a matter of fact, you don’t have to bring a lot of clothes, right?

[Laughs] Is that so?

Yeah, that’s so.

[Laughter]

Boss. Nina.

Hey, dex.

Ready? You ready?

Everything’s been arranged.

All right.

There’s been a development.

The plane?

With willow.

[Monitor beeping]

Oh, don’t fight it.

The pain will soon be over.

I will take complete agony over an eternity with you.

Oh, such a waste.

Ah, I could have made

a legend of you, valentin.

Instead, you’re just

one more corpse.

[Dramatic music]

[Grunting]

Don’T.

What about willow? Did she have another episode?

I don’t have any details.

Well, dex, whatever you know, please.

Carly called josslyn and said willow collapsed and is being rushed to gh. Ok, joss went to meet her mom. I came straight here.

[Soft music]

Call the airstrip, cancel the flight. Let’s go.

Is willow gonna be ok?

I don’t know. Her only chance is a transplant.

And we can’t have that without liesl.

God, where are they?

What, you still haven’t heard from drew?

No. I mean, they have to be ok, and they have to come home now.

Well, how much time do we have?

Not enough.

What does dr. Randolph say?

I haven’t talked to her. But it’s tj’s opinion that if you’re gonna hold on until drew and liesl get back home, you’re gonna have to stay in the hospital for treatment.

I can come in every day.

No, no, no, they want you constantly monitored so that they can treat any symptoms that may arise in real time. Willow, it’s the only way.

Assuming drew and liesl make it back in time and assuming that they make it back at all.

You can’t think that way. You can’t think that way. They’re gonna come back. And there’s a whole team here of specialists who are in your corner that want to ensure that you’re alive when they do. But, willow, it starts with you. You have to do your part.

And my part is spending what could be my last days away from my family?

Willow, I’m gonna bring wiley and amelia here whenever I can. But, yes, I know this goes against everything that you wanted. But we’re down to the wire here, willow. This is our– this is our last shot. Just please tell me you’ll take it.

Ok, nanny from hell is locked in the stateroom. She’s gonna have a nasty headache when she wakes up, but she should be ok.

Ok.

[Pounding on door] Ok, oh! What do we do?

Exactly what curtis said. We need to get my brother to safety. The seaplane isn’t gonna wait there forever.

Ok, ok. Oh, no.

What?

I forgot. I was supposed to call jordan for reinforcements.

Ok, ok. Come here, buddy, it’s ok.

Agh!

[Dramatic music]

All right, laura, step away.

All right, I got these two. You go kill that english bitch.

Oh!

Hey, how you holding up?

How are you holding up? You’re the one who got dragged out of a wedding by the sec.

Oh, I don’t care about the charges. I mean, I care about the charges, but I care more about willow and michael and what they’re going through. I mean, willow was weak before. I just hope this sec situation doesn’t push her past her breaking point.

Well, that’s on ned.

Yeah. Yeah, it sure the hell is on ned. What he did was vindictive and cruel. And, honestly, I didn’t expect it from him.

What, you just thought those were lines he wouldn’t cross?

Yeah, yeah, I guess I did. I mean, I know that the quartermaines play dirty. I mean, hell, they blackmail each other over their morning coffee. But the way everyone rallied around michael and willow for the wedding, I mean, I thought it was sincere. Months ago, I get it. But now when willow is waiting for a transplant, I just– it’s thoug htless,and it’s reckless. And I really didn’t think that this was ned, but maybe it is, you know? What am I talking about? I’m the one who gave him the opening. It’s all on me.

Mom.

No, it is, because drew and michael, separately and together, begged me not to get involved. They didn’t want me to buy any aurora stock, but I did it because I had to help. So much for helping. Ugh.

Ok, ok, so buying that stock wasn’t great.

It was terrible, josslyn. It was terrible.

I understand, mom, but you were just trying to help somebody that you loved, ok? Intentions matter.

Yeah, they sure do. The road to hell is paved with them.

Mom. What you set out to do was good. And what ned set out to do was harmful. Again, you were just trying to help someone you loved, and ned wanted to inflict damage.

Ned called in the sec because my actions made me and drew vulnerable.

And that’s awful. But, still, I mean, I have trouble believing that ned wanted them to show up at the wedding.

No, no, I can’t imagine anybody would want to do that to michael and willow, you know, they’d want to ruin their special day.

[Sighs]

Their special day wasn’t ruined, mom.

Josslyn, come on.

Mom, it wasn’T. It wasn’T. You saw the looks on their faces when they exchanged their vows. They were so happy, and they were so in love. And I genuinely believe that that’s what’s gonna get willow to hold on.

I want to believe that, too. I do.

[Cell phone ringing]

I have to take this.

Ok.

Hi. Is everything ok?

Everything’s fine. I just saw sonny and nina, and I thought you’d want to know–

that they just got to the hospital?

I take it they’re already there.

Just arrived.

Sorry it wasn’t more of a heads-up.

[Dramatic music]

I do want to go home.

Willow–

let me finish. But if drew is putting his life on the line to bring liesl back to us, then I need to do whatever I can to make that risk worth it.

So you’ll stay and fight?

With everything in me.

Come on, we’re leaving.

Victor!

Goodbye, laura. Come on, move.

[Gasps]

[Gunshot]

Good shot.

Thanks. You ok?

Yeah.

Laura, you all right?

Yeah, it’s ok. It’s just a graze.

Wait, where’s victor?

He took obrecht, and the pathogen, and he ran out.

Jordan? Jordan, can you hear me?

Yes, I can hear you. Where are you?

On the “haunted star” with spencer and ace.

Trina, listen to me. You have to get off that boat now.

We know, but it’s just–

no buts. There are drones on the way to drop bombs on the entire island, and we have no way to stop them. Take the baby and get to the seaplane before it’s too late.

Come on, come on, keep moving.

It’s no use, victor. You’ll never leave this island alive.

On the contrary, we’re gonna leave just the way we came. Now get moving. Come on.

Going somewhere?

All right, we gotthe guards tied up in the hall. They’re not going anywhere.

Ok, you’ve got to go after victor. We can’t let him escape with the pathogen.

I’m on it.

You ok?

Yeah.

Where’s valentin?

He’s in the isolation room.

Isolation?

Victor used him as a test subject for the pathogen.

Oh, my god.

Ok, let’s go. Let’s find trina and spencer now.

All right.

[Computer beeping]

What the hell is that?

I know that sound.

Let go. It’s easier that way. Or don’t you trust your own mother?

There’s only one person I trust with my life. There’s only one.

Laura, we have no time for this. We’ve got to get out of here and catch up with the others before that seaplane takes off without us.

We can’t go right now.

Why not?

This computer, it’s like the one that controlled mikkos’ machine– the one from 40 years ago.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You know that expression if feels good to be true, it probably is. I’ve heard it, yes. Okay. Well, I need you to tell me that that is not. The case with how I feel right now that spending an evening together snuggling in your arms is actually happening. That it’s true. It’s real. Okay. Not only is it true and real and actually happening, it’s gonna keep happening for the rest of our lives.

Oh, I’ve missed this.

Oh. Are you aware that this is a common space for all the residents in this home? And I having to witness you two. Swapping spit might be an unsavory, if not nauseating site for those of us who also live here. Good evening to you too, ej. See, I was hoping that you’d stick around tonight since we do have business to discuss.

It’ll have to wait. I don’t think it should see. It’s about my position as consultant and you and your performance, which I’ve observed for what, two days now. You instrument, I’d like to show you my notes.

For you. Hello Eric. This is Sweets. How are you girlfriend? Oh, is that what I am now for girlfriends, ah, that you are now that we’re officially a couple. Mm-hmm. I figured it was time for me to step up in the romance department, hence the rose. I see. Well, normally I’m not the type who goes for these like romantic gestures, but for you, I think I’ll make an exception.

Mom. Why are you in the dark? Hmm. I was meditating. What just when do you meditate? Ever since I started getting those damn panic attacks. Your friend Talia recommended it and you know, I was skeptical at first, but you know what? It actually works. My anxiety level is weirder. Oh, ah, okay. Well, uh, that’s great.

I’m glad Talia was able to help. Mm-hmm. Uh, be sure to thank her for me next time you see her. Well, that would be tonight. Talia and I are going on a date.

You are so beautiful and damn you sexy. Chanel dere is not gonna be able to resist you, so you keep saying. Come here.

No, I know this is difficult for you. Yeah, but it means so much to me. Yeah, you keep saying that too. I wish to. I felt like shutting down a balcony was enough. But look, the last thing I wanna do is make you unhappy. All right. Since the legal system won’t prosecute her for, for killing my mother and driving my father to drink himself to death.

Well, I’ve had to assume that responsibility myself. I have another choice. Don’t you see that? I do. And I know that we’ve gone over this a thousand times, babe, but. This plan, Colin, it’s, it’s all sorts of twisted. You’re asking me to seduce her and, and then break her heart. I know this is gonna be challenging for you cuz of your kind heart.

Talia, I have faith in you all and your loyalty to me and your ability to do whatever you set your mind to, which is why I know you can handle this.

Actually, come on. I don’t think that I can,

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hold on a second. Would you slow down? Hey, let’s just think this through, right? What’s to think about? You heard what the hardware store owner said. He remembers seeing Talia. Come in and make a copy of a key. Mm-hmm. The same day that someone probably made a copy of Paulina’s Key to break into our office probably being the operative word.

This is all just a theory. We don’t have any proof yet, but when you factor everything else, all the little coincidences. Oh holes and tell your story. It’s pretty clear that the person who’s been targeting Chanel and Paulina, this is my very own sister.

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

But why Jada? Why would Talia go after Pauly and Anne and Chanel? I mean, she didn’t even know them before they moved to Salem, right? A possible motive. Could she have? I wish to. Hell on you. But you don’t. You don’t. Right? So we could be completely off base here. What if we’re not? What if Talia is the one who trash Paul in his office?

What if she sent those threatening text messages and, and worse, what if she was the one who drugged those biscuits? I mean, my God, that’s a felony. Me. She go to prison. Okay. Hey, you’re getting way ahead of yourself here. Right. There’s still a lot that we don’t know. We know enough. The timeline, for instance, you know, it just occurred to me, Paulina and Chanel, they didn’t start being harassed.

Until around the time my sister should open town completely outta the blue. That may be, but it also coincides with the time the Sloan’s civil case got thrown out and she vowed revenge upon them. The Sloan has an alibi. The night were drugged, which we already agreed was. Shaky at best. Yeah, but look, you’re the one who told Abe yourself.

Then we need to look at this with an open mind. Let’s not fix Abe on one suspect here, right? It’s possible the culprit could be someone we haven’t even considered yet. What do you mean you can’t handle it? Are you saying that you’re not gonna help me anymore? Answer me, Talia. Look, it’s just. I don’t like deliberately hurting someone like this, Colin, and I just don’t understand why.

You’re just so cool with me being with somebody else. I’m not cool with it. I hate the idea, but as I keep telling you, there is no other way for this to work. Yeah, and why not? Chanel likes guys too. You could be the one to seduce, sir. Don’t you think I would If that made any sense at all. But you know down well, that’s too risky.

If anyone knew that I was in town, I would be the number one suspect for everything that’s gone on. Not even my sister Sloan can know that I’m in town.

You are way more lover than I am. I bet. Chanel is well on our way to falling for you. Yeah, and that just makes me feel worse. Damnit Colin. Okay. All of this. Yemen, I’ve, I just wanted to be over so we can packages feed us. Believe me, we’re almost there. All right. Once Chanel Dupree feels a fraction of the pain that she put my family through, I’ll be able to move on because I will have honored my parents’ memory.

I get justice for them. I thought you knew how much that meant to me. I do. I really do. I promise then we’re good.

Yeah, far good,

but I better get going. I have to change from my dates.

I love you. I love you.

You are dating Claudia Hunter. It well, technically it’s our first date, but if it goes well, there could be more. Oh, interesting. Uh, my, I thought she was, was what? A totally adorable, completely gorgeous young woman of color. You know what I mean? I just assumed she was straight. Well, actually, I, I kind of thought that too, but then today she, she kissed me and it was just out of the blue.

Oh, so you were surprised, huh? Yes. And no, I think for, for a while now, I kind of thought we were vibing, but I wasn’t sure if it was just my imagination. But I, I think she was hesitant about ex expressing her feelings because she’s only ever dated men before. Oh, really? Huh. So first, Allie, I’m tired. You seem to have this.

Superpower to turn straight girls into my sexual assault. Okay, mama. That is not how it works, but I mean, I can’t help it if people of all genders and sexual orientations happen to find me Irres. Oh, you have to tell me. I know my baby girl is quite the gem, like mother, like daughter. Mm-hmm. Definitely. But, but darling, what?

Are you sure you’re ready to start dating again?

Chanel baby. I know how much you loved Allie and you, you two broke up only a couple of months ago and well, I’m worried that it, you know, it might be too soon for you that you, you’re still. Vulnerable. You know, you know, mama, I’m not gonna lie, I miss her like crazy. She was my best friend and my girlfriend all wrapped up in one person, and I’m tired of sitting around being sad about it.

Not to mention all the other stuff I have to be sad about. I mean, don’t I deserve to have some fun for a change, baby? You deserve whatever this wonderful world has to offer you. I, I’m just worried. About you throwing yourself into a another relationship. If you are not ready, uh, you know, because you’re, you’re, you’re still too vulnerable, like I said.

And. Cause my precious, precious girl, the last thing I want is for you to get your heart broken all over again.

I know what you’re saying makes sense about my sister’s. Total lack of motive. But you’re still freaked out thinking you may be guilty. Which is why you need to take a deep breath and give yourself some time to think about this situation. Clearly,

you’re right. It’s just really hard, you know when a case hits so close to home. Trust me. I get it. But we’ll get through this. Okay. Together.

Hey sis, commissioner Talia. Hi. Listen, um, I just wanna let you know that I won’t be home for dinner tonight. Okay. Uh, where are you going? I’m just hanging out with Chanel, so, um, I’m gonna go be dressed. Okay. All right. Uh, have fun. Thank you. You guys have a good time too. Okay. Call ya. Wait. I need to ask you something first.

Yeah. Show. What’s up?

Did you trash Paulina Price’s Office?

Sorry, one sec.

Oh, damn it. What? Oh, I gotta go meet a client like right now, afraid. So she’s nervous about her testimony in court tomorrow. So I gotta go do a little hand holding. You never know how long those things are gonna take. Can I get a rain check on her? Of course. Night of Romance. Listen, just be sure to call me before you turn in, okay?

Will do. Okay.

This is a complete waste of time. Everyone knows this is an utter fast. Just a way to get Gabby back at the company using underhanded tactics. I happen to disagree with that. I don’t know what you’re talking about. Gabby is a very successful businesswoman. She’s a money-grubbing bottom feeder. She’s not qualified to criticize what I had for lunch, let alone my job performance.

Mm. Now that is a great example of one of your many, many weaknesses. Your curiousness, your arrogance. Do you treat your employees like they’re beneath you? It’s a real morale killer. Pity settle. I’ve spoken to a couple people at the company. If they described you as rude, Temperamental tyrannical. One guy even said he’d rather work for the father and succession.

At least. That guy’s funny. Oh, and I’m not. Wait, who said that? It’s confidential. To protect your employees, you’re lying. You’re making every word up. Oh, suddenly I’m not speak from what I’ve seen. Your management skills are ineffective. Your bargaining tactics are counterproductive. Your interpersonal skills are an HR disaster waiting to happen.

Oh, and your cologne is very pungent. So, How God. Oh, how dare you. That’s an all in all. If I had to give you a letter grade, it would be an F. You insulate. Actually, I forgot you left crumbs in the break room, so that’s an F minus.

Feel free to write up whatever you want in your pathetic little report. Gabby, nobody gives a down what you think. I bake the differ. I think the board is gonna care very much about Gabby’s review. See, I’ve read her preliminary findings and. They’re actually quite disturbing. I have no doubt. Once she submits your evaluation, the board’s gonna want to address several of these issues before it’s too late as you wish.

But don’t forget, brother, I’m not the only one being evaluated here. Nicole has been monitoring your performance and I’m sure she has a lot to say. Nicole, darling, would you mind coming downstairs please? Oh, she’s not here. She went shopping. Well, when she gets back, I’ll ask her to present her findings. In the meantime, I’m going to get some air.

Because I’ve had enough of you two in your little childish games.

Enjoy the air. Are we having fun yet?

You and Sloan? What about me and Sloan? Well, I knew I was high on biscuits, but I distinctly remember you saying you stopped seeing each other. Well, we had, we managed to make things work out even though she caught us in bed together. Well, she understood that we were drugged and we weren’t. I’ve seen things clearly.

Right. Well, I mean, I guess you two weren’t exclusive or anything, and from what you said, it was just casual. Actually, that’s not the case anymore.

Son and I decided to give a shot to having a rare relationship.

Mama, isn’t it a little early in the game for you to be worried about me getting hurt? Mm-hmm. It’s only a first date. Yeah, but I know you baby, you tend to move pretty fast. Are you following me, Ahoe? Of course not. I was talking relationship wise. I mean, after all you marry Zander cook just hours after you met him.

Okay. You know, that wasn’t about love. Oh, and then you also married Johnny Dara of a few months after you two started dating. Okay. Maybe that was a little impulsive, and then just only a few months after that you moved him with Alien or something. Okay. Okay. Okay. Look, okay. I, I admit that I do fall pretty quickly, but I promise to take things slow with Talia.

Okay. That’s all I ask. After all, you know, you haven’t really known her that long. Okay, now you seem skeptical of Talia. You were just singing her praises two seconds ago. Well, it’s both you and I know people aren’t always what they see.

What did you say, Jada? Maybe this isn’t such a good idea. I believe that someone took. A key from Paulina’s Purse. I made a copy of it to get into her office. And why do you think that someone is me? You were with Chanel and Paulina in the Square the day her office was vandalized. You had the opportunity to do it.

Yeah. But I didn’t really, because Ra and I just came back from speaking to the hardware store owner and we showed him your picture and he remembered making a copy of a key for you that day. So how do you explain that?

I can’t, I can’t believe this. Do you seriously think I could do something so horrible? We are not accusing you of anything, Talia. We’re just asking questions. No, you’re not just asking questions. I mean, come on. You showed the guy in my picture. Right. So you two obviously think that I’m guilty. Well, at the moment we are exploring any and all angles.

So I’m the on your investigation. That’s funny because I thought I was your sister, which means you can talk to me. Was the owner of the hardware store. Right. When he identified your picture, did you make a copy of the Key that day?

Yeah, I did.

So you did make a copy of Pauline’s Key?

No, I made a key to your room upstairs. What? Yeah. You kept saying You’re gonna make me my own key. Right. But you kept putting it off and I didn’t think our system was very safe. What system? I’m leaving my own key under the mat. So tell you can get in, haven’t had time to get a key made. Yeah, so I took the initiative and I did it myself, but that was weeks ago.

Why didn’t you say something before now? I don’t know. I kept forgetting, you know, you’ve been forgetting a lot of things lately, hun. Don’t believe me. How about you take it upstairs and see if it works. Or better yet about use at Ms Price’s office. Maybe you and I should go upstairs and try out the key just for the record.

Okay, fine by me, but I’m telling the truth. My God, Chanel and Paulina have been so kind to me. Why in the world would I wanna hurt them? Well, like I said, your sister and I were just exploring any and all angles.

Yeah, right. But I thought my sister of all people would know that I’m not a horrible person and I would never do something like this.

Well, I should go get ready for my date. What do you two have planned? Dinner at the bistro? Then maybe we’ll catch a movie at the square. Or who knows? Maybe we’ll just elope at city Hall. You know, I should probably wear my wedding dress just in case. Stop, stop, stop. Stop, stop, stop. I love you, mama, and I appreciate you looking out for me.

Always. Always. You. You have a wonderful time. Now, being careful doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. Yeah. Uh, Talia and I already get along so well. I’m sure the fun will happen easily. And the next step, well, that is to be seen.

You know, the one good thing about the bakery shutting down is that. I can stay out as late as I want. I guess I found something I can thank Sloane Peterson for. Well, another little bit of advice. Keep that horrible woman out of your mind tonight. I’m gonna try, mama. I’m gonna try. Mm-hmm. Hmm.

Oh wow.

Sorry I’m late. Oh, don’t be. I just got here myself. Look, I know it may seem like overkill. You know what? Nonsense. There’s no such thing. Preparation is the name of the game when it comes to going to court. Thanks. I just wanna go over my testimony one more time. Of course, Vincent, don’t worry so much. All you have to do tomorrow is when you get on this stand, you just tell the truth and you leave the rest up to me.

You make it sound so easy. Well, that’s because I’ve been doing this a very long time. Trust me, you’re in good hands. I do know that Ms. Peterson.

A real relationship. Okay. What does that mean? It means that Sloan and I are now like exclusive. Well, I gathered that I, you still don’t know what it means? Well, no, of course I do. It’s just that, it’s just, fuck, come on, Eric. I don’t think anyone who knows you thinks this makes any sense. Okay. Can you name one person who thinks highly of that woman?

Not to mention that she’ll probably be on her way to Statesville before law. Are you kidding me, Nicole? Listen, I am tired of explaining to everyone that Sloan had nothing to do with what’s happening with Chanel and Paulina. And by the way, she was with me all night. She had nothing to do with drugging those biscuits.

Really? You had your eyes on her every second, Nicole. Well, I just,

I’m just concerned. Okay. Because even after everything that. We’ve been through. I, I still care about you and if you’re serious about Sloan, then I’ll be fine.

Eric, wait.

Since you and Sloane are together, can you just do me a favor? Please Ask her not to tell anyone about what happened between us under the influence. Are you afraid ejs gonna find it? Yeah. I’m afraid ejs gonna find out and he is probably gonna blow it out of proportion. Okay. And I don’t need the drama, especially since us making love was because of the drugs.

Am I right? Yeah. It’s because of the.

He worked. All right. Well, isn’t that a good thing? I mean, it might have been, if I hadn’t already blurted out my suspicions. Yeah. Uh, about that. What happened to taking a breath and thinking this through clearly. I had every intention of doing that, but then the words just started tumbling outta my mouth and I couldn’t stop myself.

Oh, I’m sure my sister is furious with me. No, well, I mean, yeah, probably. You know, I, I should go back up there and talk to me. No, no, no, no, no. Do not do that. This is really emotional for you. You’re. Your instincts are, Ross, just wait till tomorrow morning. Okay? Okay. You know, I, I think you’re right. I’ll just give her some time, you know, let her cool off.

Yes. Okay. Yeah. Talia. Talia. Wait. Can we talk this out?

Seriously,

we just what?

That was perfect. If you tell your story like that tomorrow, it’s a slam dunk. Thanks. I feel much more confident now. Great. Okay. Tomorrow meet me at the courthouse at nine. Okay. Um, actually before you go, I have one more question, Uhhuh. Sure. I heard rumors about the police investigating you. Should I be looking for a backup lawyer?

Absolutely not. Look, you have nothing to worry about, okay? And neither do I. The police have no case because I’m innocent. But I heard that Paulina Price accused you of harassing her family. She’s wrong. I don’t know who’s after her and her daughter, but it certainly isn’t me.

I’m gonna go for a run by the lake. Hmm. I gotta stay in good shape for you. You better try to join. I’d love to, but I think I’m gonna send this reporting as soon as possible. I mean, I don’t know how serious Shannon and the board are gonna take this, but. It’s just fun to get under e j’s skin. I agree. Just know that we should expect some pushback.

We both know EJ gives as good as he gets. Let him. You and I can not only hold our own against him and Nicole, we can outsmart, outshine and outperform circles around them and we will. But this tit for tat can’t go on forever. Eventually, we’re gonna need to oust EJ from Damara for good.

Ah, Mr. Damira, I don’t believe we have been properly introduced. I’m SL Peterson. Nice to actually meet you, Ms. Peterson. Although in a way I feel like we already know each other, as I recall, we spent a rather painfully awkward evening at the Bist Strong Valentine’s Day, where our respective dates spent a lot of time and energy trying to ignore each other.

That is true, and I was extremely painful. Mm-hmm. Although it wasn’t half as painful as the other day when I caught the miba together.

Well, I should go,

but before I do, I, uh, I just wanna say in spite of what I said about Sloan and how I feel about her, I hope, I hope you two work out. And I, I know I’ve said this for many years now, but it bears repeating.

I just want you to be happy.

Even if it’s with ej,

even if it’s with ej.

Uh, I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m sorry. What did you say? Did you, you caught who? Only. Back together. Um, Nicole and Eric, I, God, I’m so sorry. I, I assumed that you knew.

Come on. We’re supposed to split these. Don’t make me eat ’em all by myself. Sorry. Not hungry Ra. What did you think of Talia’s story about her making a key for our room? It made sense mostly, but don’t you find it strange that she never said anything before about it? Hmm. Hello? But I keep going back to one thing, her lack of motive.

That’s right. She’s got nothing against Pauline and Chanel, so why would she go after them?

I am sorry I couldn’t help overhearing your conversation earlier. Oh, hi. Hi, my name’s Logan. I’m Connie. Nice to meet you. Connie. From what I gathered, it sounds like your lawyer might have a bit of legal trouble over her own. Oh, you heard our conversation. Were we talking that loud? No, no, no. It’s just I was there.

I was sitting close enough. You know? Right. Well, my lawyer, she assures me she’s innocent. Except we all know how good lawyers can be at covering things up. Right. So I just hope I can trust her. I know you can. I mean, just from observing the two of you for a couple minutes, whoa. I could get the sense that she’s a person of integrity.

I am positive. She’s innocent. Really? I’m mean, it’s, it’s obviously just a feeling, but I have been told that I am an excellent judgey character.

Wow. You look amazing. Thanks. So do you. I am loving a dress. I’m just fat. It still fits. Spend a minute since I had a reason to dress up, I. I’m glad we’re doing this. So am I. But um, look, I, I know dating women is new for you, so I want you to know there is no pressure, no expectations at all. We can just take things slow.

I actually think that would be good for both of us. Thanks. I really appreciate that. It’s great. All right, now let’s order. I am starving

Nicole and Eric. We’re in bed together. Oh God, yes. But you know, it was just those biscuits, those damn biscuits, they were drugged, you know, it meant nothing. It wasn’t like it was, it wasn’t planned or uh uh, any of that obviously, you know, and, and uh, that’s why I thought she would’ve told you. She assuredly did not.

Oh, well, like I said before, you know, it was, it was the drugs. It really meant nothing. I’m not losing sleep over at, in them, and you shouldn’t neither. Thank you for the heads up.

I didn’t tell EJ and I don’t want him to know, so it has to be our little secret.

So that was her secret. She slept with Eric.

Oh, hey, did uh, EJ track you down? No. Why? He was upset about the performance review that I gave him. The guy just doesn’t know how to take constructive criticism. Oh, yeah. I bet it was real constructive. Wow. I’m sure the board will be very interested to hear what I have to say. I, I was just about to email them my scathing review.

Oh, well, I guess I’ll just have to send them my review about Stephan also scathing. Hmm.

Oh, ow. Oh God. Ah. Oh. You all right? Oh.

Oh my God.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ridge: Let’s see what you can do. Son, to everybody else, this right here… is nothing, just blank page, right? To us, this is the idea of possibilities, endless possibilities. This is a door we can open, a door to life, right?

Rj: Dad. No, dad, I–

Ridge: No, listen, you were given something. You’re given this incredible gift and grandad has it, he gave it to me, you guys have it. But it doesn’t land in the same place for everybody else. I need to know where it landed with you. Let me see it.

Thomas: What?

Hope: Nothing, it’s just, uh, your creative energy.

Thomas: Well, I just had an idea, had to get it out on the paper, you know? Is– is it too much?

Hope: [ Laughs ] No, never too much. It’s, um, good. I mean, your– your passion is lighting up this entire office. It’s nice to see you in your element again. I’m just happy it’s with me– with hope for the future.

[ Laughs softly ]

Count boucie: You got a nice little establishment here, mr. Sharpe. But obviously, it’s missing something.

Deacon: Let me guess, that something would be you?

Count boucie: Well, you know, right now it’s a nice restaurant, but as a level two sommelier from napa valley and a sommelier to the stars, I can turn il giardino into the “it” restaurant it’s longing to be.

Deacon: “It” restaurant?

Count boucie: The most talked-about, trendsetting, highest reviewed, the best, if you will. Just say the word and count boucie will snap into action.

Orville: Yes!

Deacon: Well, count, your name does convey quite a bit of gravitas. Uh, what’s your background?

Count boucie: Well, I was named after the great count basie, the king of swing.

Deacon: So that makes you the king of sommeliers.

Count boucie: King, perhaps. Count? Most definitely.

[ Laughs ]

Thomas: Thank you for that. You made me feel like I’m alive, you know? It’s almost like my– I’ve been reborn.

Hope: Like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

Thomas: That’s actually not a bad idea for a design. See? You always never stop inspiring me, it’s– it’s– it’s impressive and you just– you want me to be the best I possibly can be, and you encourage me to do that and– and it means so much, so I’m just– I’m in your debt, hope.

Ridge: You say you’re not interested in design, you don’t want to be part of this company. I get it, I hear you. But it’s in your blood, you can’t deny it. So maybe, just take this pencil, and just maybe, you could surprise yourself. Maybe this is it, maybe this is your true calling, to be here with us. I said, I see it

Deacon: I– I– I gotta tell you, count, you got me thinking, you got me intrigued. All right, tell me about your experience.

Count boucie: My experience?

Deacon: Yeah, you know, uh, who you worked for or where you worked?

Count boucie: Well, the list is long and plentiful. I’ve been requested by some of the most influential people in the world. Movie stars, athletes, politicians, royalty?

Deacon: Wow, so maybe tell me about the last person you worked for.

Count boucie: I’m not apt to kiss and tell, mr. Sharpe. One of the hallmarks of an a-list sommelier is discretion, but my reputation led me here, did it not?

Deacon: You know, actually, I– I thought it was my listing.

Orville: Grandpa?

Count boucie: Uh, I’m working right now, just relax.

Orville: But grandpa, I’m hungry.

Deacon: Well, hey, if you’re hungry, guess what? You’re in the right place.

Orville: What do you mean?

Deacon: What do I mean? I– I tell you what. You tell me what you want to eat and I’m gonna have somebody bring you a plate of whatever it is. How’s that sound?

Orville: Do you have corn?

Deacon: Corn? What, are you kidding me, man? I got fields of corn!

Ridge: Give it a shot, there’s no pressure.

Rj: Yeah, you know just ’cause you say “no pressure” doesn’t mean there is no pressure, right?

Ridge: That’s exactly what it means, there’s no pressure. I don’t care if you do this for a living or not, I just want to see what you’re capable of.

Charlie: Sorry for the intrusion.

Ridge: What is it, charlie?

Charlie: I just wanted you to know that I just finished scaling back all that extra security we had when sheila was the big problem.

Ridge: Okay, do you remember having a conversation where I told you that things like that can be sent in an email? Maybe a note left on pam’s desk? You don’t have to run in here like the building’s on fire.

Charlie: Gee, who– who curdled the big cheese?

[ Laughs ] See what I did there? It’s like a metaphorical image, joke, “curdled cheese”? Get– get it? See?

Rj: Yeah, yep, I got it, thanks. I, uh– I think dad was just, uh, interrupted in the middle of a heartwarming plea to get me to follow in his footsteps.

Charlie: Oh.

Ridge: That’s– that’s not what I’m doing at all, I’m sorry and I’m– what I wanted was for you to take the pencil and let nature do the rest. Because my first design, the first time I ever did this, I remember it like it was yesterday. It’s a big wave that came over me, and it was incredible, and I– I will never forget it. I just thought, if this is something that you may wanna do, that you should have that same euphoric, life-changing moment, that’s all.

Charlie: I know– I know exactly what you mean. I get the exact same feeling every time I go skinny dipping. I mean, a couple of laps in the buff every morning has given me two things. It made me, one, a better protector, and two, it made my neighbor build a higher fence.

Ridge: Make a statement. You can do it.

Hope: I’m proud of you, thomas. All the growth you’ve been showing? It’s been reflecting in your work as well.

Thomas: Really?

Hope: Yeah. Come on, you don’t have to do the pretend humility thing with me, I know you know you’re good.

Thomas: I may be aware. But I– I will say something that I didn’t know. Honestly, I– I had no idea if, uh, the new-and-improved thomas would actually be any good.

Hope: What do you mean?

Thomas: Look, I… I realize this now after putting myself through therapy and digging into this stuff, but in the past, I– I took all of my frustration, my anger, and– and that’s what fuelled me and made me put pen to paper. Very “rage against the machine,” right? And, now, uh, I– I don’t do that anymore and there was a time where I thought I would have no idea if what would come out would actually be of any substance, or good.

Hope: Well, I don’t think you have to worry, thomas, because your designs are on a whole other level now.

Thomas: That’s ’cause of you. You have inspired me from the beginning, but you used to inspire me in a different way, and now, you inspire me with… love. And that is what fuels me and I wake up every morning now with– with all of these designs flowing through my mind and it’s like– it’s a freedom that I have never experienced.

Hope: Peace.

Thomas: Exactly.

Hope: I think it’s evident that you have finally found peace within yourself. And it’s made you not only a better designer, but a better father and a better man as well. Need relief for tired, achy feet?

Deacon: Uh– uh, mr.–

Count boucie: Shh, I’m still reading.

Deacon: Yeah, I– I was just gonna say, if there are any changes you think that I need to make–

Count boucie: Oh, there’ll be changes made if we make this deal.

Deacon: Okay. Uh, oh, great, thank you. All right, here you go. Look at this– you got pizza, you got french fries, and good old california corn.

Orville: I love corn.

[ Deacon laughs ]

Deacon: You know, your grandfather’s a count, so who knows? Maybe some day, you’ll become a colonel. Get it? Kernel? Ah, I guess it was kinda corny, wasn’t it? Count, what can I say, I’m impressed. But there’s only one way to find out you’re as good as you think you are. So, I’m gonna put you to the test.

Count boucie: A test?

Deacon: Yep, blind taste-test. I’m gonna ask you to please leave the room, I’m gonna pour three glasses of wine and I want you to tell me what region they’re from. Sound good?

Count boucie: Brilliant.

Deacon: Mm.

Orville: Corn rules, man.

Ridge: Let it out, son. Trust your instincts.

Charlie: Oh, the suspense is killing me.

Ridge: Anything else I can do for you, charlie?

Charlie: No, thanks.

Ridge: ‘Cause my son and i were having a very important moment.

Charlie: Oh, I know, and I– and I– it is an honor for me to be here, to protect you from any interruptions.

[ Laughs ]

Charlie: I guess I’m the interruption, huh? I– well, you know, I was just– you know what? [ Stuttering ] I’m gonna get out of here and– and leave it. Good luck over there!

Ridge: Charlie!

Charlie: Yeah, all right… good luck, rj!

Ridge: Finished? May I?

Rj: Sure.

Ridge: Really?

Rj: Well, what? You said to draw what inspires you.

Ridge: This– this is what you learned? This? Really? You–

[ Grunts ] All right, very cute. Very cute.

Rj: Thank you, I try.

[ Door opens ]

Thomas: Hot out of the sewing room.

Hope: Oh, this is my favorite part– getting to see our designs come to life.

Thomas: Drumroll, please.

[ Drumming on legs ]

[ Hope gasps ]

Hope: Oh, my gosh, thomas! It’s extraordinary, it’s exactly how we envisioned!

Thomas: I know, it’s beautiful. I– I really wanna see it up and moving, but sadly, we don’t have any models coming in ’til later.

Hope: I can try it on.

Thomas: You sure?

Hope: Yes, it’s fine, I mean, I’m just as anxious as you are to see this design in all its glory!

Thomas: Awesome, thank you!

Hope: All right.

Brooke: Thomas,

he is a bad boy, and you,

my sweet, precious daughter,

you don’t like the bad boys.

Unlike your mother.

[]

Deacon: All right. One of these is french, one is italian, one is californian. Oh, count boucie! We’re ready for you! Please. Okay, so here’s the deal. You’re gonna take a taste from each glass, you’re gonna tell me what region it’s from. One is french, one is italian, one is californian. Should be easy for a guy of your talent.

Count boucie: Delightful! Hmm.

Deacon: All right, count, game time. Italian? French? Or californian?

Count boucie: French!

Deacon: Well done. Next?

Count boucie: Italian.

Count boucie: California like the beach boys.

Deacon: Well, look, you obviously know your stuff, I can’t dispute that.

Count boucie: Well, not only do I know my wine, but I can also charm your customers into buying more product and make you a ton of money! Sound like a plan?

Deacon: All right, all right, yeah, I’m digging it, okay? I am. Let me– let me think about it, but I promise you, I’m gonna get back to you. I really am impressed. Thanks a lot, count. Orville, it was a pleasure meeting you.

Ridge: I don’t really look like this, do I? Come on.

Rj: No, what? No. Not at all.

Ridge: Uh-huh. You’re funny. It shows me how talented you are.

Rj: Thank you, dad, it means a lot coming from someone as accomplished as you.

Ridge: Everyone dreams, you know. There’s only a few of us, a few fortunate people that can take that dream and make it into something that the whole world can experience.

Rj: Dad, that’s exactly what I want to do. I– I know that I can draw, that I can create. I mean, come on, you had me doing this when I was younger, too. I don’t want to design dresses. And please don’t take that as a jab, I love everything about forrester creations. I’m– I’m proud of the work everyone here does. But especially you. I mean, I– I just– I– I want to do my own thing, you know? And build my brand.

Ridge: As an influencer?

Rj: Yes, dad, as an influencer. You know I can hear the disapproval in your voice?

Ridge: That’s not– that’s not– no, it’s just not a career, you know?

Rj: You sound old.

Ridge: I am old! You drew an old man!

[ Laughs ]

Rj: I know, I’M… you know, I didn’t draw that just to be funny. You said to draw what inspires you, and that’s you, dad. You inspire me. I just– I really don’t want to disappoint you, okay? I have to build my own future.

Ridge: I know, come here, I’m not disappointed in you, come here. I love you.

Rj: I love you, too.

Brooke: And you,

my sweet, precious daughter,

you don’t like the bad boys.

Hope: I’m ready!

Thomas: ‘Kay. Wow! Come here. Careful, don’t want to have you fall like last time.

Hope: [ Laughs ] Yeah.

Thomas: Wow. This is great. Uh, do you mind?

Hope: Oh, yeah, sure, sure.

Thomas: ‘Kay. Okay.

[ Hope clears throat ] Is everything okay?

Hope: Yeah, yeah, I’m just… excited about the design.

Thomas: ‘Kay, yeah, I mean, me too, this is– the only thing is, I think I wanna change the hem a little bit, but other than that, it’s– it’s great. This is remarkable.

Hope: What is?

Thomas: Well, the dress, but also, um, the fact that we’re able to work together like this and you can finally trust me.

Brooke: There’s no denying that I’ve always desired the wrong man. Glad you’re not like me that way.

General Hospital Character Description: Marcus Taggert

Posted on May 5, 2023 by TvMegasite Admin

Marcus Taggert

When Marcus Taggert came to town in 1996, he was out for revenge on Sonny. Sonny’s abusive stepfather, Deke, had been a mentor to young Marcus back in Bensonhurst and encouraged him to become a cop. He thought Sonny had gunned him down in an alley. He also hated Sonny when his wife, Lily, was murdered by a car bomb.

He has a sister, Gia, and his mother was Florence. He dated several women, but none of them became serious relationships. He clashed with Scott Baldwin about his professional ethics in 2003 and ended up leaving to take a job in Portland.

He returned in 2020 and seemingly died, but his death was faked in order to catch Cyrus. We learned that Trina was his daughter and that Portia was his ex-wife. Also, he’d worked with Jordan before. Marcus was able to return to the world after Cyrus was put away. He’s been there to support his daughter, Trina.

When Portia was about to marry Curtis, she was forced to admit that Curtis might be Trina’s dad, not Marcus.

General Hospital Character Description: Robin Scorpio-Drake

Posted on May 4, 2023November 12, 2024 by TvMegasite Admin

Robin Scorpio-Drake

Robin is a kind and compassionate person with a strong moral core. Both of her parents were international spies or cops when she was growing up. She didn’t know her father at all until she was five years old, and she didn’t know that Anna was her mom. She thought she was just a family friend. Anna had hidden her away to protect her; she was a target for her parents’ enemies. When she was about 12, both of her parents seemingly died in a boat explosion. Her Uncle Mac and later, Aunt Felicia, raised her. Felicia’s daughter Maxie and Georgie were like her sisters. Robin had many adventures, but she saved a lot of people’s lives as both a doctor and a hero.

A few years later, Robin fell for teen Stone, not knowing that he was HIV positive. She also became HIV positive, but Stone died. After that, she fell for Jason Morgan, who helped her get over Stone’s death. Both Stone and Jason worked for mobster Sonny, which didn’t make Mac (the police commissioner) happy. Robin became good lifelong friends with both Jason and Sonny. She and Jason have had an on-again, off-again romance over the years.

Robin went to Yale for college. At some point, she become a doctor, specializing in drug protocol research. In 2001, she learned that her mother, Anna, was alive and living in Pine Valley, but she had amnesia. Anna remembered Robin but couldn’t remember what happened to Robert. A few years later, Robin returned to Port Charles and joined the staff of General Hospital. There she met Patrick Drake. They dated, had a few breaks here and there, but eventually married and had their daughter, Emma.

Robin was thought to be killed in a lab explosion and fire in 2012, but she was kidnapped and held captive by Jerry Jacks and Cesar Faison (among others). She was rescued by her parents and reunited with her family, but then she had to help Jason, who was also being held captive. Her family is threatened so that she has to stay and work on Jason and also find a cure for Helena’s illness. Eventually, Jason gets free and rescues her, and she reunites with her family.

Chance: The guys over there, they’re good and his record speaks for itself.

Summer: So, you’re not here looking for clues or anything?

Chance: You know, that’s not really what detectives do. I don’t just pop up random places, whip out a magnifying glass like Sherlock Holmes.

Summer: From what I’ve seen, your method is usually to watch. The brooding look in your eye. It’s why I asked you to go to my mom’s memorial service because you watch. You analyze.

They continue kissing until EJ walks in and complains that this is a common residence for everyone who lives here. Gabi reminds EJ that they have business to discuss. EJ says it will have to wait but Gabi doesn’t think it should. Gabi warns that it has to do with her consulting EJ’s performance and she’d like to show him her notes.

Eric surprises Sloan with a rose in the town square. They kiss as Eric calls her his girlfriend. Eric says now that they are officially a couple, he figured it was time for him to step up in the romance department. Sloan jokes that she doesn’t usually go for the big romantic gestures but for him, she’ll make an exception. Eric and Sloan kiss as Nicole walks through the town square and looks annoyed when she sees them.

Paulina sits at home in the dark until Chanel comes home and questions why she’s in the dark. Paulina responds that she was meditating. Chanel questions when she started that. Paulina explains that Talia recommended it for her panic attacks and she was skeptical at first but it actually works and her anxiety levels are way down. Chanel is glad Talia was able to help. Paulina tells her to thank her next time she sees her. Chanel reveals that would be tonight as she and Talia are going on a date which surprises Paulina.

Talia gets dressed after being in bed with Colin. Colin comments on how beautiful and sexy she is, then remarks that Chanel will not be able to resist her. Colin knows this is difficult for her, but says it means so much to him. Talia knows he keeps saying that. Colin wishes shutting down the bakery was enough and he doesn’t want to make Talia unhappy, but since the legal system won’t punish Chanel for killing his mother and driving his father to drink himself to death, he had to take on the responsibility himself as he had no other choice. Talia says she gets that and she knows they’ve gone over this. Talia feels the plan is all sorts of twisted as he’s asking her to seduce Chanel and then break her heart. Colin knows it will be challenging because of her kind heart, but he has faith in her and her ability to do whatever she sets her mind to which is why he knows she can handle this. Talia admits that she doesn’t think that she can.

Jada storms in to the Brady Pub as Rafe follows her, asking her to calm down so they can think this through. Jada questions what is to think about when they heard what the hardware store owner said and that he remembered Talia making a copy of a key on the same day that Paulina’s office was broken in to. Rafe points out that it’s all just a theory and they don’t have any proof yet. Jada argues that when they factor in everything else, it’s pretty clear that the person who has been targeting Chanel and Paulina is her very own sister. Rafe questions why Talia would go after Paulina and Chanel when she didn’t even know them before moving to Salem, so he asks what possible motive she could have. Jada wishes she knew. Rafe argues that they could be completely off base here. Jada asks what if they are not and if Talia is the one who trashed Paulina’s office, sent the threatening text messages, and drugged the biscuits which is a felony that she could go to prison for. Rafe encourages Jada to relax and not get ahead of herself because there’s still a lot they don’t know. Jada feels they know enough. Jada adds that Paulina and Chanel didn’t start getting harassed until the time that Talia showed up in town. Rafe notes that it also coincides with the time that Sloan vowed revenge on them. Jada brings up Sloan’s alibi which Rafe calls shaky at best. Rafe reminds Jada that she told Abe that they need to look at this with an open mind so instead of focusing on one suspect, the culprit could be someone they haven’t even thought of.

Colin questions Talia saying she can’t handle it and asks if she’s saying she’s not going to help him anymore. Talia complains that she doesn’t like deliberately hurting someone like this and she doesn’t understand why he’s so cool with her being with someone else. Colin admits he hates the idea but argues that there’s no other way for this to work. Talia argues that Chanel likes guys too, so he could be the one to seduce her. Colin argues that he would if that made any sense but she knows that’s too risky, because if anyone knew he was in town, he would be the number one suspect for everything that has happened so not even his sister Sloan can know that he’s in town. Colin bets Chanel is already on her way to falling for Talia. Talia complains that it just makes her feel worse and she just wants this scheming to be over, so they can go back to being them. Colin assures that they are almost there and once Chanel feels a fraction of the pain that she put his family through, he will able to move on because he will have honored his parents’ memory by getting justice for them. Talia promises she knows how much that means to him and says she better get going because she has to change for her date. Colin tells Talia that he loves her. Talia says she loves him too and then exits.

Paulina questions Chanel dating Talia. Chanel says it’s technically their first date, but if it goes well, there could be more. Paulina calls that interesting. Chanel calls Talia an adorable and gorgeous woman. Paulina says she just assumed Talia was straight. Chanel admits that she thought that too but then today, Talia kissed her out of the blue. Chanel says she thought they were vibing for awhile but she wasn’t sure and thinks Talia was hesitant about expressing it because she had only dated men before. Paulina jokes about Chanel having a superpower of turning straight girls in to bisexuals. Chanel jokes that she can’t help it. Paulina asks if she’s sure she is ready to start dating again. Paulina knows how much Chanel loved Allie and they only broke up a couple months ago, so she’s worried that it might be too soon for her and she’s still too vulnerable. Chanel admits she misses Allie like crazy since she was her best friend and her girlfriend, but she’s tired of sitting around being sad about it. Chanel feels she deserves to have some fun for a change. Paulina agrees but worries about Chanel throwing herself into another relationship before she’s worried, because she’s too vulnerable. Paulina adds that the last thing she wants is for Chanel to get her heart broken all over again…

Jada knows what Rafe is saying makes sense about Talia having a lack of motive. Rafe understands she’s still freaked out that she might be guilty. Rafe encourages Jada to take a deep breath and give herself time to think about things clearly. Jada says it’s just hard when it’s so close to home. Rafe understands and assures that they will get through this together as he holds her hand. Talia then walks in to the Pub and greets them. Talia informs Jada that she won’t be home for dinner as she’s hanging out with Chanel, so she’s going to get dressed. Jada tells her to have fun. Talia tells them to have fun too but Jada then stops Talia and says she needs to ask her something first. Jada then asks Talia if she trashed Paulina’s office.

Eric and Sloan kiss until Sloan gets a text that she has to go meet a client. Sloan asks for a rain check on their night of romance. Eric tells her to call him before she turns in. Sloan agrees to and then walks away. Nicole comes around the corner and runs in to Eric.

EJ tells Gabi that this is a waste of time as everyone knows it’s a farce and just an underhanded way to get Gabi back in the company. Stefan disagrees and calls Gabi a very successful business woman while EJ calls her a money grubbing, bottom feeder who is not qualified to criticize his job performance. Gabi calls EJ’s arrogance one of his weaknesses. Gabi says she spoke to a few people at the company who described EJ as rude and tyrannical. EJ accuses her of lying and making this up. Gabi calls EJ’s management skills a disaster and mocks his cologne, remarking that if she had to grade him, she would give him an F-. EJ tells Gabi to write up whatever she wants in her report because nobody gives a damn what she thinks. Stefan thinks the board will be very interested and will want to address several issues before it’s too late. EJ reminds Stefan that he’s not the only one being evaluated as Nicole has been evaluating Stefan’s performance as well. EJ calls for Nicole to come in but Gabi informs him that she’s not home as she went shopping. EJ says when she gets home, he will have her present her findings. EJ decides he’s going to get some air because he’s had enough of them and their childish games. Gabi jokes with Stefan about having fun.

Nicole questions Eric being with Sloan as she remembers him saying that they had stopped seeing each other. Eric says they had but they managed to work things out. Nicole brings up Sloan finding them in bed together. Eric says Sloan understood they were drugged and not seeing things clearly. Nicole guesses they weren’t exclusive since Eric said it was just casual. Eric reveals that’s not the case anymore as he and Sloan have decided to give a shot to having a real relationship.

Chanel tells Paulina that it’s early for her to be worrying about her getting hurt when it’s only a first date. Paulina feels Chanel tends to move a little fast. Chanel asks if she’s calling her a ho. Paulina clarifies that she meant relationship wise and brings up Chanel marrying Xander just hours after meeting him and then also marrying Johnny DiMera a few months after dating and then a few months after that, she moved in with Allie. Chanel admits she falls quickly but promises to take things slow with Talia. Paulina says that’s all she asks, pointing out that she hasn’t known Talia that long. Chanel questions Paulina seeming skeptical of Talia when she was just singing her praises. Paulina remarks that they both know that people aren’t always what they seem…

Talia questions what Jada said. Rafe suggests this isn’t a good time. Jada explains that she and Rafe think someone had Paulina’s key copied. Talia questions why she thinks that was her. Jada points out that Talia was with Paulina and Chanel on the day that her office was vandalized, so she had the opportunity to do it. Talia insists that she didn’t do it. Jada then reveals that she and Rafe just spoke to the hardware store owner, who identified Talia as having a key made that day. Jada questions how she explains that.

Colin sits at the bar, wearing a cap to hide himself. Sloan then enters the bar.

Talia says she can’t believe this and asks if Jada seriously thinks she could do something so horrible. Rafe states that they aren’t accusing her of anything and are just asking questions. Talia argues that they obviously think she’s guilty. Rafe says they are exploring any and all angles. Talia remarks that she thought she was Jada’s sister. Jada says that’s why she can talk to her. Jada asks if the hardware store owner was right in identifying her picture and if she made a copy of the key that day. Talia then admits that she did but claims it was a copy of a key to their room upstairs because Jada kept saying she needed her own key but kept putting it off and she didn’t think their system was very safe. Rafe questions what system. Jada explains that she’s been using her own key under the mat so that Talia could get in because she hasn’t had time to get it done. Talia says that’s why she did it herself. Jada points out that was weeks ago and questions her not saying anything until now. Talia claims she kept forgetting. Jada argues that she’s been forgetting a lot of things lately. Talia tells Jada that she can go use it upstairs or on Paulina’s office if she doesn’t believe her. Jada agrees that they should go try it upstairs just for the record. Talia says that’s fine by her, but she’s telling the truth. Talia argues that Paulina and Chanel have been so kind to her and questions why she would want to hurt them. Rafe repeats that they are just exploring any and all angles. Talia thought her sister of all people would know that she’s not a horrible person and that she would never do something like this. Jada and Talia then head upstairs.

Chanel tells Paulina that she is going to get ready for her date. Paulina asks what they have planned. Chanel says they will have dinner at the bistro and maybe a movie in the square, then jokes that maybe they will elope at city hall. Chanel tells Paulina that she loves her and appreciates her looking out for her all the time. Paulina tells her to have fun. Chanel notes that she and Talia already get along so well, so she’s sure they will have fun. Chanel comments that the one good thing about the bakery being closed is that she can stay out as long as she wants, so she guesses she found one thing that she can thank Sloan for. Paulina advises her to keep Sloan out of her mind tonight. Chanel agrees to try and then goes to get ready.

Sloan meets her client at the bar. She says she just wanted to be prepared and go over her testimony one more time. Sloan encourages her to just tell the truth and let her handle the rest. Sloan adds that she’s been doing this for a long time, so she’s in good hands. Colin remains seated nearby and watches on.

Nicole questions what Eric means by he and Sloan having a real relationship. Eric responds that they are now exclusive. Nicole argues that anyone who knows him wouldn’t think this makes sense and remarks that she’ll probably be on her way to prison before long. Eric is tired of explaining to everyone that Sloan had nothing to do with what’s going on with Paulina and Chanel. Eric adds that Sloan was with him all night, so she had nothing to do with drugging the biscuits. Nicole asks if he had his eyes on her every second. Nicole complains that she’s just concerned because even after everything they have been through, she still cares about him and if he’s serious about Sloan. Eric assures that he will be fine and starts to walk away but Nicole stops him. Nicole asks Eric to just do her a favor and please ask Sloan not to tell anyone about what happened between them while under the influence because she’s afraid of EJ finding out and blowing it out of proportion when she doesn’t need the drama, especially since them making love was because of the drugs. Nicole asks if that’s right. Eric agrees that it was because of the drugs.

Jada returns downstairs to Rafe and tells him that the key worked. Rafe asks if that’s a good thing. Jada says it might have been if she hadn’t already blurted out her suspicions. Rafe asks what happened to thinking things through. Jada says she intended to but then the words just started coming out and she couldn’t stop herself. Jada is sure Talia is furious with her. Jada wants to go back and talk with her but Rafe stops her and says this is very emotional for her and her instincts are off, so she should just wait until tomorrow morning. Jada agrees to giving Talia time to cool off. Talia then comes downstairs so Jada calls out to her, asking if they can talk this out but Talia keeps walking and exits the Pub.

Sloan finishes going over her client’s testimony and says she did perfect and to do that in court tomorrow. Colin continues listening in as the client tells Sloan that she’s heard rumors of charges against her and asks if she should be looking for a backup lawyer. Sloan says absolutely not and that they have nothing to worry about. Sloan argues that the police have no case against her because she’s innocent. Sloan adds that she doesn’t know who is after Paulina and Chanel, but it certainly isn’t her. Colin then gets a text from Talia, telling him that her sister just accused her of breaking in to Paulina’s office. Colin texts her back, questioning why.

Talia sits at the Bistro and texts Colin back that she’ll explain later as she was able to lie her way out of it but wonders if she should call off her date. Colin texts her back, assuring that she’s got this. Talia responds that she’s so nervous and worries about Chanel figuring out that this is all a charade or sensing that she’s not in to women. Chanel then arrives at the Bistro.

Stefan tells Gabi that he’s going for a run by the lake, joking that he has to stay in shape for her. Stefan invites her to join him. Gabi says she’d love to but she wants to send her report in as soon as possible since it’s fun to get under EJ’s skin. Stefan notes that they should expect some pushback since EJ gives as good as he gets. Gabi assures they can hold their own, outsmart, outshine, and run circles around EJ and Nicole. Stefan says they will, but this can’t go on forever, and eventually they are going to oust EJ from DiMera for good.

Sloan runs in to EJ outside of the Brady Pub. Sloan doesn’t think they have been properly introduced. EJ says it’s nice to meet her, though it feels like they’ve already met since he recalls they spent a painfully awkward Valentine’s Day where their dates spent a lot of time trying to ignore each other. Sloan agrees that was extremely painful, although not half as painful as the other day when she caught Eric and Nicole in bed together which shocks EJ.

Nicole tells Eric that she should go, but first she just wants to stay that in spite of how she feels about Sloan, she hopes they work out. Nicole knows she’s said this for many years but she repeats that she just wants him to be happy. Eric tells her the same, even if it’s with EJ. Nicole then walks away.

EJ questions what Sloan said about catching Nicole and Eric in bed together. Sloan apologizes as she assumed that he knew.

Rafe reminds Jada that they are splitting the french fries but Jada says she’s no longer hungry. Jada asks what Rafe thought about Talia’s story about her room key. Rafe says it mostly made sense. Jada finds it strange that Talia never said anything before about it. Rafe keeps going back to Talia not having a motive and questions why she would go after Paulina and Chanel.

Colin approaches Sloan’s client, Connie, at the bar and introduces himself as Logan. He says he overheard her conversation and understands that her lawyer may have a bit of legal trouble. Connie talks about hoping she can trust Sloan. Colin assures that he’s positive that she’s innocent and calls it just a feeling, remarking that he’s been told that he’s an excellent judge of character.

Chanel and Talia hug and compliment each other’s outfits. They say they are glad they are doing this. Chanel knows dating women is new for her so there is no pressure or expectations at all and they can just take things slow which she thinks would be good for both of them. Talia thanks her and says she appreciates that. They then look at the menu to decide what to order.

EJ questions Sloan about Eric and Nicole being in bed together. Sloan explains that it was the drugged biscuits so it wasn’t planned or anything and that’s why she thought Nicole would’ve told him. EJ confirms that she did not. Sloan repeats that it was the drugs and meant nothing. Sloan adds that she’s not losing sleep over it, so he shouldn’t either. EJ thanks her for the heads up as Sloan then walks away. EJ sits down on the bench and thinks back to overhearing Nicole saying she didn’t want EJ to know their secret on the phone. EJ realizes Nicole’s secret was that she slept with Eric. Eric then comes around the corner.

Nicole goes home to the DiMera Mansion where Gabi asks if EJ tracked her down. Nicole says no and asks why. Gabi explains that EJ was upset about the performance review she gave him and complains that he doesn’t know how to take constructive criticism. Nicole bets it was real constructive. Gabi says the board will be very interested to hear what she has to say as she was just about to send in her scathing review. Nicole responds that she’ll also be sending them her scathing review of Stefan. Nicole pulls out her laptop but then begins suffering stomach pains, causing Gabi to ask if she’s alright.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Mariah sighing ]

Sharon: Just what I needed. A visit from the world’s most perfect baby.

Mariah: I’m here too, by the way.

Sharon: Huh? What?

[ Mariah laughing ]

Mariah: You’re so hilarious. So funny.

Sharon: I’m just kidding. You are wonderful also.

Mariah: Ah, no. Well, aria is a lot more popular than I am these days. As she should be.

Sharon: Look at her sweet little face. She’s just an angel. Can I pick her up?

Mariah: I love you, but no. This angel wailed the whole car ride until she fell asleep. So, just give her a few minutes?

Sharon: No problem. I can wait. I think.

[ Chuckles ] Meantime, why don’t you fill me in? What’s been going on?

Mariah: I really, really wanna dish, but first I need coffee. Anything before caffeine is just gonna sound like gibberish.

Sharon: Okay. Wow. I hope you’re not pushing yourself too hard. Going back to work. You’re taking care of aria. That’s a lot to take on at once.

Mariah: Tessa has my back. And I’m only in the office like two days a week. I mean, I spend the entire time wishing I was with aria. But then she woke up three times last night, so.

Sharon: Sounds like a recipe for insomnia.

Mariah: Oh, sleep? Who needs sleep?

Sharon: Wait, am I sensing there might be something else going on?

[ Knocking ]

Daniel: Hey, am I interrupting?

Lily: No, not at all. What is this?

Daniel: Well, I thought you could use a little afternoon pick me up.

Lily: Thank you. It’s very sweet.

Daniel: Not totally selfless. I was actually hoping to talk to you about something. Do you have a minute?

Lily: Yeah, of course. What’s up?

[ Daniel sighing ]

Daniel: God, I don’t mean to keep leaning on you, but you’re kind of my go-to person when it comes to this.

Lily: Is it your mom? Did you have another nightmare or?

Daniel: Yeah, something like that. Only this one is happening in real life.

[ Summer sighing ]

Phyllis: Listen to me. You’re the only one who can know that I’m alive. I mean it. You’re the only one who can know what happened and what I need to do because of it from this moment forward.

[ Summer sighing ]

[ Footsteps ]

Jack: Diane.

Diane: Why do you keep doing this? I told you not to come here. Why don’t you listen to me?

Jack: Because I love you. Because the last time I was here, I left you with a question that you never answered.

Diane: It was a crazy question.

Jack: That is still not an answer. I’ll ask again. Will you marry me?

Diane: Before I go on trial for murder? Is there nothing I can do to drive you away?

Jack: No. No. Now is when you need me most. I’m not going anywhere.

Diane: So that’s why you’re here? To marry me right now? That’s not romance, jack. It’s denial. And it breaks my heart. My moderate to severe plaque psoriasis…

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Mariah: I was thrown by something that happened today. And I didn’t know how to handle it. And then I got embarrassed that I didn’t know how to handle it better and that’s kind of just how things go in my world sometimes. It’s really– it’s not a big deal.

Sharon: Well, it’s still on your mind. So, why don’t you just tell me? Was it something at work?

Mariah: No. No. Someone today asked me if aria was my first child and I didn’t really know how to respond.

Sharon: Because of dom.

Mariah: It really flustered me and I was just struggling with all of these different thoughts. And I didn’t wanna say, “yes, I’ve been pregnant before, but not with this baby and the one that I was pregnant with before has a different mom.” But I also didn’t wanna deny dom because that was such an important time in my life and I will always adore dom. But I mean, aria is my first child and I wanna tell the world how amazing she is.

Sharon: It’s complicated, for sure. And I think that I can relate to it because when people ask me how many children I have, I have to stop and think. And I’m sure that must look strange because people think, “lady, you don’t know how many kids you have?” But you know, it’s complicated for me too.

Mariah: Because your mind instantly goes to cassie.

Daniel: I’m not really sure where to start.

Lily: It’s okay. Just take your time.

Daniel: Yeah. Well, I feel like I need to be careful here ’cause I don’t really wanna betray summer’s trust.

Lily: So, it’s about summer.

Daniel: I had this strange conversation with her. I mean, I’m sure she’s probably already regretting most of what she said.

Lily: Okay. Well, look, I promise you that whatever is said here, it will not leave this room.

Daniel: Yeah. I mean, I know that.

[ Daniel laughing ] I trust you. It’s just difficult for me to talk about.

Lily: What happened?

Daniel: I ran into summer last night. She was a mess. You know, she was hanging out at the park all alone. I– I don’t know, you know, I’m having a tough time dealing with this, but summer is falling apart. She’s looking for answers that just aren’t there and because she can’t find them in real life, she’s making them up in her head. And it– I don’t know, scares me.

Chance: I didn’t mean to startle you. No, I don’t wanna intrude.

Summer: No, you’re not. I mean, it’s a public park, right? It’s open to anyone and plus, it’s named after your family, so you have more of a right to be here than anyone.

Chance: I don’t think that’s how it works.

Summer: I don’t mind the company. Can I ask you though, what are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be out looking for stark’s killer?

Chance: It’s not supposed to be public knowledge yet. Yeah, I guess word must be getting out that his death wasn’t an accident.

Summer: Hard to keep that kind of thing quiet.

Chance: Yeah. Well, I am just consulting on this case. His body was found in pheasant lake. It’s outside my jurisdiction.

Summer: You’ll know more about stark than anyone in that area. You know what a disgusting thug he was.

Chance: The guys over there, they’re good and his record speaks for itself.

Summer: So, you’re not here looking for clues or anything?

Chance: You know, that’s not really what detectives do. I don’t just pop up random places, whip out a magnifying glass like sherlock holmes.

Summer: From what I’ve seen, your method is usually to watch. The brooding look in your eye. It’s why I asked you to go to my mom’s memorial service because you watch. You analyze.

Chance: Yeah. Most of the time. Today, I just came up here to think through. Same as you, I imagine? Yeah. Yeah, I bet we have a lot of the same things weighing on our minds.

Jack: This is not denial. This is devotion. This is commitment. This is confidence. I would never spring an impromptu wedding on you.

[ Diane chuckling ] I mean, say the word. I’ll make it happen. I will marry you anytime, anywhere, anyhow.

Diane: You know, I– I believe you.

Jack: Good. You should.

Diane: You’re impossible.

Jack: I am going to get you through this, diane.

Diane: How can you be so certain? How does that even make sense? I am stuck in here for god knows how long. And jack, you have a life to live.

Jack: You are my life. And here’s how we do it. You let me visit every day as long as they’ll let me. I am not going to let you go through this alone. If you need to shut down in order to survive, well, you’ll shut down right alongside of me.

Diane: Oh, damn you!

[ Diane groaning ]

Jack: Damn me? You won’t be pushing me away?

Diane: Jack, I’m sorry. I can’T. Because as good as this moment feels right now, nothing has changed. And I am– I am not going to drag you down alongside me or the rest of the family. You need to go.

Jack: Don’t do this, diane.

Diane: Guard, I’m ready to leave now.

Jack: There’s something else you need to hear.

Diane: Michael can tell me what it is.

Jack: Jeremy stark is dead. No two bodies are the same.

Daniel: I just hate seeing summer like that. And I tried talking her through her feelings, helping her to see reality. She just covered, told me that she got it, but I mean, I could tell she was still hanging onto that fantasy she’d created in her head.

Lily: Look, what matters is that you were there for her and maybe she needs more time.

Daniel: She’s just so angry. You know, I mean, I’m mad about what happened to mom too, but summer, she’s got some serious rage and it’s not helping her cope with the loss.

Lily: Well, I mean, there’s no right way to grieve or to help someone through it.

Daniel: Yeah. More than anything, I just want for my sister to be okay. But I don’t really know how that’s possible when I’m barely keeping my own head above water.

Lily: Well, look, I mean, you’re both in a lot of pain. You know, you need each other right now. You’re going through the same thing.

Daniel: We both want mom back so bad. We’re both seeing her in our dreams. And now summer is seeing her while she’s awake.

Lily: Look, the mind is a powerful thing. It makes sense that you would wanna try to undo her death somehow.

Daniel: Unfortunately, that’s not happening.

Lily: No, but it doesn’t stop the heart from wishing that it was.

Daniel: Can’t argue with that.

Lily: Look, I know from experience that losing someone is soul crushing. And it’s not gonna go away for a long time. So, you know, you and summer, as you’re working through this grief, you guys are gonna do and say more things that you regret.

Daniel: Well, I don’t regret anything that I’ve done so far. Most of all, reconnecting with you. I mean, I don’t know what I did to deserve you coming back into my life, but I– I hope you’re not having any regrets either.

Diane: Jeremy’s dead? How? When did this happen?

Jack: It happened a few days ago. I tried to tell you the last time.

Diane: How did he die?

Jack: It appears to be murder.

[ Diane exhaling ]

Diane: Do they know who killed him?

Jack: I think the police are looking into his criminal activities and I’m guessing that one or several of his colleagues had a grudge serious enough they wanted him dead.

Diane: Oh, I’m sure of it. I’ve met some of those people. They’re no one you would wanna mess with. But, you know, jeremy’s ego always made him feel like he was untouchable.

Jack: Well, he’s not going to be mourned. Certainly not in genoa city. How do you feel about that?

[ Diane exhaling ]

Diane: Well, I’m– I’m– I’m relieved that he’s no longer a threat to our family, but at the same time, this– this doesn’t exactly work in my favor.

Jack: Because like me, you think stark killed phyllis?

Diane: I know he did. Which makes his death a really bad thing for me. Now that jeremy’s gone, there’s no way to get a confession from him. The only person who could clear my name is now dead.

Summer: Do you have any ideas about who killed stark?

Chance: Summer, we don’t have to talk about that. I know it’s just gonna bring up memories of your mom and all these unanswered questions. I don’t wanna do that to you.

Summer: The memories I can handle. It’S… it’s the guilt that I can’t stand. I still feel like I owe my mom answers and apparently, there aren’t any.

Chance: Hey. The sheriff’s department that’s handling this investigation, they know what they’re doing, okay? And I will keep you updated as well. I’ll stay on top of this case.

Summer: Chance, is there anything that you can say about stark’s death? I mean, did he drown in that lake? Were there– were there wi– witnesses? Is there any other physical evidence?

Chance: Summer, is there anything else going on?

Summer: Other than my mom was murdered? Followed by her new husband being murdered? And the fact that the– those two things, they– they must be related.

Chance: I just got a feeling that there might be something else.

Summer: What else is there other than the fact that my mom is gone!

Chance: Summer. Hey, look at me. If you know something or if you’ve learned something new, you can tell me.

Summer: You’re the police. How could I know something that you don’t? We live our lives on our home’s fabrics.

Lily: Are you asking if I regret our night together?

Daniel: I thought I was being subtle.

[ Lily laughing ]

Lily: You weren’T. Did you hear regret in my voice that night?

Daniel: No. Maybe since.

Lily: Well, we haven’t talked about it since.

Daniel: I know. That’s what started me thinking–

Lily: Okay. Listen, let me be very clear. I don’t regret it. Clearly, it was something that we both wanted and needed. And I think, you know, we just thought that happened and we didn’t talk about it again.

Daniel: Okay. Yeah, no, great. I’m sorry that I forced the issue.

Lily: No, no, no. I’m actually glad you did. ‘Cause I do think that we moved on from it too quickly, especially after everything that we’ve been through.

[ Daniel chuckling ]

Daniel: Sure. I mean, you’re dealing with a loss too.

Lily: Well, I mean, look, I’m not comparing my breakup to your grief, you know. But yeah, I mean, it’s been– it’s been a lot.

Daniel: Yeah. You and billy are on the mend. I don’t think either one of us are really in a place of starting anything new right now. I don’t know. I think that we just shouldn’t put any unnecessary pressure on each other. There’s no need to label anything. And I think that the most important thing here is our friendship.

Lily: I agree. And I don’t wanna do anything to damage that.

Daniel: No. What we did the other night didn’t damage anything.

Lily: [ Laughing ] No, it was lovely.

Daniel: It was more than lovely.

Lily: [ Laughing ] I agree. So, are we good?

Daniel: Yeah, why wouldn’t we be good? Hm? Why are we even talking about this? Did I– I brought this–

Lily: Yeah, you brought it up.

Daniel: Yeah, I brought this up. Now I’m the idiot. You know, I’m gonna go. I’m gonna let you get back to work.

Lily: Okay. Well, thank you for the coffee. And I’ll check in with you later.

Daniel: Okay.

Lily: [ Laughing ] Bye.

Daniel: Bye.

Devon: Hey. Hey.

Daniel: Hey. I was just heading out.

Devon: All right, see ya.

Daniel: Yep.

Lily: Hi.

Devon: Hi. How is everything going in the omega sphere? Or do I even have to ask?

[ Lily sighing ]

Mariah: You always talk about cassie with so much love.

Sharon: She was such a shining light. Just like you. And I never wanna stop talking about her because it’s a way of keeping her spirit alive. But when a stranger or a new acquaintance asks about her, I have to weigh how much I wanna say. And there’s no way I can respond to that casually, but if I do say what happened to her, it can get awkward. Hearing about the loss of a child makes people uncomfortable.

Mariah: Well, if you ever want to talk to me about cassie, I would love to listen. You know, I think about her a lot too. I do. I wonder if we would’ve had our own language like twins sometimes do, or if we would’ve dressed alike or been the complete opposites.

Sharon: Probably the latter.

[ Both laughing ] Look, I’m not saying our situations are exactly the same. Yours is complex, but it has a happy ending.

Mariah: Yeah, that’s true. I mean, everybody’s happy and healthy. And I know when people are– are striking up conversations, they’re just trying to find a way to connect. Like, hey, we’re both moms. But I don’t know, it still catches me off guard.

Sharon: You know what, someday, someone is probably gonna say, “aria looks just like you or tessa.”

Mariah: Oh, my gosh! That has already happened. I mean, she has no hair and her eyes were closed. But hey, sure. Yeah, we look alike.

[ Both laughing ]

Diane: My last chance for freedom died with jeremy.

Jack: Wait, that is not necessarily true.

Diane: Forget. Forget getting a confession. They can’t even question him now. Now that jeremy’s gone, the only person they’re gonna come after is me.

Jack: Slow down. Look, chances of getting a confession out of jeremy stark was always slim to none. Now that they know it’s a murder investigation, they have to investigate. Here’s what we hope for. In the process of searching for his killer, they find proof that he was behind phyllis’s death.

Diane: Oh, my god. That’s an even longer shot than a confession. And I doubt that jeremy left behind any proof.

Jack: Oh, I’m not so sure about that. A guy as cocky as that is going to probably want a few mementos of his accomplishments.

Diane: Jack, I love how you always hold on to hope, but I need to be a realist. And right now, most of genoa city wants me to go away for this crime. I don’t have a strong defense. And the case against me is growing stronger every day.

Jack: Think of all you have already overcome. You came back to this town, you thought you would never see your son again. You thought your life was over. You can overcome this too. I will help you do that.

Chance: Okay. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to imply anything. I was just saying. If you come across anyone suspicious or threatening, you can come to me.

Summer: I haven’T… yet.

Chance: Okay. And I hope, you know, I’m not trying to put ideas in your head like kyle mentioned. I just wanna help.

Summer: Thank you. Look, I’m sorry for snapping at you. Kinda barely holding it together, in case you haven’t noticed. My brother thinks that I’m losing my mind. And you know what? Maybe– maybe he’s right.

Chance: No, you’re not. You’re in pain. You know, given how stressful all this is, maybe wandering around town alone isn’t the best idea right now.

Summer: Maybe for both of us.

Daniel: Hey. Summer, what are you doing here again? I used to pre-rinse dishes cause my old detergent

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. (Lucky) uh-oh the magic’s disappearing!

Summer: I am fine. I just– I needed to get out of the house. I needed to get some air.

Daniel: Yeah. Two of you come here together?

Summer: It was a coincidence.

Chance: Yeah. This is our mutual thinking spot. I guess we all have that in common, huh? How you been, man? It’s been a minute.

Daniel: I’m– I’m doing okay.

Chance: I understand this is a rough time for both of you.

Summer: Yeah, we’re– we’re getting through it.

Chance: So what happened here before?

Summer: Nothing. It was just, it was a– a family thing. Chance, could I have a– some alone time with my brother?

Chance: Yeah. By all means. And don’t worry, we will find whoever’s responsible for stark’s death.

[ Daniel clearing his throat ]

Daniel: So, turns out that stark really was murdered. Just like you were talking about last night.

Summer: I didn’t say anything to chance about any of that or about how mom is alive. And you shouldn’t say a word either. Look, I’m doing a lot better now. I promise you. And you just forget I said any of that.

Diane: As much as I’d like to, it’s– it’s hard to find comfort in what you’re saying because the reality tells a different story.

Jack: So what’s the option? Giving up? That is not even a possibility. Oh. Looks like you have another visitor.

Diane: Well, it better not be a minister or justice of the peace.

Jack: Actually, he has been ordained and I think married a couple of people, but that’s not why he’s here.

[ Diane chuckling ]

Lily: Oh, who are you now? Leanna love?

Devon: No. I just picked up on a little something between you two. That’s all. Little– little vibe in the air.

Lily: A vibe in the air?

Devon: Yeah.

Lily: [ Laughing ] Okay. Well, anyway, omega sphere’s doing great, even though daniel’s still grieving, obviously. He and his team are on track. So, I think we’ll have a soft rollout platform by late may, early june.

Devon: That’s fantastic.

Lily: Yeah.

Devon: I have some work ideas I wanna talk to you about too.

Lily: Okay, good. I love that you could just pop in my office like this again.

Devon: I know, right? I miss being able to do that.

Lily: Are you easing in or do you feel a little overwhelmed by things?

Devon: I’m not overwhelmed. I’m playing a little bit of catch-up, but it’s not too bad. Things already feel better than they did before.

Lily: We’re gonna keep it that way.

Devon: I’m glad to hear you say that ’cause I have a plan that is already in motion.

Lily: Okay. Well, if you’re this excited, I can’t wait to hear.

Devon: I want us to christen the neil winters jazz lounge properly by throwing dad a party there tonight.

Lily: I love that.

Devon: Yeah?

Lily: Yeah, that’s a great idea. That’s exactly what we should do.

Devon: Good.

Chance: Did you get a chance to check out the jeremy stark report?

Christine: I did

Chance: And?

Christine: It’s still not our case, chance.

Chance: Look, I hear you. But he did not drown in that lake, christine. He was stabbed to death. He was wrapped in a damn shower curtain and moved after he was killed. So that means the murder could have taken place right here in genoa city.

Christine: It is possible. Or it could have happened anywhere else.

Chance: I hear you, but I have a gut feeling it was closer to home. I mean, come on. This is not a coincidence. Phyllis is poisoned, and then days later, her brand new husband washes ashore stabbed to death? No, I have to look into this. I have no choice.

Christine: I mean, even if jeremy stark had something to do with phyllis’s death, we can’t negate the evidence we already have. There was a plan to kill her with poison purchased by diane. So, even if stark was an accomplice, the case against diane is still airtight and I intend to try it. Diabetes can serve up a lot of questions,

Sharon: You don’t have to follow this advice, but I would just take each comment as it comes, you know, on a case-by-case basis, depending on who you’re talking to and your mood and how much you feel like sharing. There’s no reason why you have to make a decision about who you can or cannot talk to about your child’s life. People are gonna have the reactions, but that’s not your responsibility.

Mariah: Thank you.

Sharon: For what? For being the best.

Sharon: Oh! I don’t know. You know, I am sorry that I missed the early years of your life and that’s one of my biggest regrets.

Mariah: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. We’re not doing that. The past is in the past. Look at us now. I mean, we may have not got to spend our early years together, but… that’s what we’re doing right now. Living life together, the two of us and our growing family. As a new mom myself, can I just say I have never been more grateful that you are my mother.

[ Aria gurgling ] Oh. Oh and I feel like someone else agrees with me. Hello.

Devon: Yeah. So, I figured we could just put up some pictures of neil and then play his favorite music all night.

Lily: Yeah, that’s perfect.

Devon: All right.

Lily: How can I help?

Devon: You don’t need to do anything. Just wear something nice and say a few words later if you want.

Lily: Okay, I can do that.

Devon: Yeah. Abby already has the lounge reserved and she’s just waiting to turn everything out until she gets the word that it’s a go.

Lily: Well, it’s a go. And thank abby for me.

Devon: I will. Of course.

Lily: And thank you, too. I mean, this is the perfect way to commemorate dad’s passing.

Devon: Yeah, I thought so. It’s like, it’s crazy to think about how fast four years has gone by.

Lily: I know. It makes me realize how much I miss him and how much of our lives he hasn’t been a part of.

Devon: Yeah. I actually think that he hasn’t missed anything in our lives. Think he has a front-row seat to it all.

Lily: Well, hopefully not everything.

[ Lily laughing ]

Devon: Yeah, I’m sure he covers his eyes every now and then.

Lily: No, but I agree. I think dad is rooting for us, every step of the way.

Diane: Kyle, like I told you and your dad, I didn’t want you visiting again.

Kyle: You can tell me to go, but I won’T.

Diane: I don’t want to ruin your life again.

Kyle: You’re not ruining my life. I’m capable of doing that on my own.

[ Diane laughing ] Believe it or not, I’m stubborn just like you.

Diane: I think you get that from your father.

Kyle: I think you would beg to differ.

Diane: Mm. That’s right because he’s as obstinate as a rock.

Kyle: [ Laughing ] Mom, seeing you in here like this doesn’t cause me pain. What would hurt me is not seeing you. I know you are innocent, so we’re gonna figure out a way to prove it.

Diane: That means the world to me, and I appreciate you saying that, but I know the toll this is taking on you and your marriage.

Kyle: I admit that things aren’t great with summer right now, but this will pass. We’re strong enough as a couple to work through it. She’ll deal with her grief and we’ll get you out of here and then life will go back to normal for all of us.

Summer: Can you please just leave this alone?

[ Daniel chuckling ]

Daniel: How do you suggest I do that? We’re talking about our mother, her and stark are connected. The fact that the two of them were killed can’t just be a coincidence. I mean, that’s exactly what you were saying to me last night. And now you’re just doing a 180. Why? Why? What’s going on?

Summer: I wasn’t thinking clearly last night, okay? I– I was– I was doing what you said that I was doing. I was looking for answers that aren’t there.

Daniel: So you just guessed that stark was murdered and then it turned out that he actually was.

Summer: He deserved to die. For who he is and– and what he did and I– I just, I wanted it to be true, okay? Doesn’t mean that I’m psychic or that I know things. It just means that– that I don’t know how to do this. I don’t know. I don’t know how to be in a world without mom and it– and I’m sorry, okay? I’m sorry.

Daniel: I– I don’t need an apology, summer. What I need is to know that you’re gonna be okay and I’m not sure that you are. I mean, I talked to kyle. He told me that you ran off on him without a word. I tried calling you over and over and over again. I came here as just a– a last resort and sure enough, here you are with chance in the exact spot where you said you saw mom.

Summer: I don’t know what was going on with me last night, but I’m not imagining mom, okay? Not really. I’m not seeing her or I’m not thinking that she’s alive. And I’m definitely not talking to a police detective about any of that, okay?

Daniel: Okay. Fine.

Summer: I just– actually, I just wanted to get some information about stark from chance, but he would not give up anything about the stabbing or the scissors.

Daniel: What did you say? Summer, if chance didn’t say anything about a stabbing or scissors, how the hell do you know about it? (Music throughout)

Kyle: Harrison has moved on to building entire cities. And when we told him his dee-dee used to be an architect and her job was to build things, he lit up like a christmas tree.

Diane: Oh, I love that. And it kind of hurts at the same time.

Kyle: Oh, I was just trying to say he loves you. That’s all.

Diane: And I love him more than I can say. I’m just… I’m just terrified that his little heart will be broken if I don’t make it home.

Kyle: Hey, I didn’t mean to make you feel that way.

Diane: No, no. It’s not you. It’s– it’s the truth.

Kyle: Dad, michael and I are working on a plan to get you out of here. So, just try to hang tight until we figure it out.

Diane: Yeah. Hey, thank you for coming even though I told you not to. And for the pep talk, but I think we all need to face facts. There’s a very strong possibility that I am going to be wrongly convicted and spend the rest of my life behind bars.

Jack: Afternoon latte? They don’t have coffee at the station where you should be working on phyllis’s case?

Chance: I am working, jack.

Jack: Oh, then you’re looking for evidence that jeremy stark killed phyllis here in the coffee house.

Chance: You know what? I just had a meeting with the da. That’s none of your business, so why don’t you stay out of it?

Jack: Jeremy stark is dead. Whatever his plan was has gone awry. There’s gotta be more to this than what we all see on the surface. It’s up to you to dig up all of his deepest, darkest secrets and tell us what happened. I am going to hold you to account. Look, if you do your job, it is the only way diane is exonerated.

Summer: I must have read about the way that he died and the– and the murder weapon in the news.

Daniel: I’ve read every story there is to read about stark. The story about his murder just came out today, and it specifically said that no details were released.

Summer: Well, there must have been more articles than the ones that you read.

Daniel: Okay, well, which one did you see then?

Summer: I don’t know. I don’t remember. Why are you being like this?

Daniel: Because I need you to be honest with me. That’s why. It doesn’t make any sense how you would have information that isn’t public knowledge, summer. I mean, unless you had something to do with it. I– I can’t even believe I’m asking you this right now, but did you kill stark?

Summer: Oh, my god. You can’t be s– don’t be ridiculous, daniel.

Daniel: Well, then tell me something that makes sense.

Summer: None of this makes any sense. Don’t you see that?

Daniel: Okay. Maybe I should go ask chance.

Summer: No, don’t bring him into this.

Daniel: Why not?

Summer: Fine. Fine.

Daniel: So there is something.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: If I tell you, you have to swear to me that you’re not gonna tell anyone else, daniel. It is life or death.

Daniel: Summer, I’m your brother. I wanna be here for you. I want to protect you. I mean, it’s obviously something that you feel like you can’t tell the police.

Summer: Everything I said last night was true. I thought that I could handle this on my own, but I can’T. I’m not crazy. I know what happened to stark because I heard it from the only other person who was there. The person who stabbed him to death. Mom. She’s alive.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[Tense music]

Go get her.

Hey, not so fast.

[Grunts]

[Groaning]

[Yells]

[Groans]

Spencer. Spencer, spencer, spencer. You have to wake up. You have to wake up. It’s time– it’s time for us to go. Come on, please.

[Sighs]

[Grunts]

That all you got?

I need an ambulance to the– to the gatehouse of 66 harbor view road. My name is michael corinthos, and my wife, willow corinthos, she passed out; she’s unconscious. She has, uh, stage iv leukemia. Yes, yes. She’s breathing. Just please get here as soon as you can.

Come on, willow. Stay with me. Stay with me.

Dr. Ashford, why aren’t you at michael and willow’s wedding? I thought you and molly would be dancing the night away.

Yeah, that was the plan, but the reception never happened. Then I got paged to cover for another resident who called in sick.

The reception never happened? Is willow ok?

Willow’s fine, thank god. The mother-in-law… not so much.

Can I get you something else?

Oh, uh, just the check.

Something wrong with the pie?

No, I– I just thought being here would bring me more comfort or some comfort. You know, my great-aunt ruby used to own this place, and she was a strong woman, a survivor. She really knew how to beat the odds. And you guys still use her pie recipe.

Wow. I can wrap that up for you.

That’s ok. Turns out, I’m not in the mood for pie, so I will just take the check.

Ok. Thanks.

Mm-hmm.

[Upbeat music playing]

[Sighs] Something wrong?

[Device beeps]

I’m sorry. Your card has been declined.

Robert, it’s felicia. Andre brought me up to speed about victor possibly having a biological weapon. Apparently, the bureau has suspected that he and his brother have developed one. You would be wise to be concerned about what the bureau will do next. I know I am. Call me back, please.

[Tense music]

Where have you taken baldwin?

He’s being debriefed. The bureau appreciates his willingness to be so forthcoming about the activities of victor cassadine.

[Scoffs] Baldwin doesn’t have all the facts. Neither will the bureau, unless I talk to them. You got to let me out of here.

[Chuckles] Where was all this info before baldwin started talking? Now… sit down and do what you’ve been doing best: Keeping your mouth shut.

[Heart monitor beeping]

[Grunts]

His heart rate is falling rapidly.

Yes, this pathogen is vicious, isn’t it? Valentin, you may want to reconsider your silence. Your suffering is in vain. We will find your companions. It’s a small island. I can’t guarantee what condition they’ll be in when they’re brought to me. My guards don’t take trespassing lightly.

I told you I came alone!

Is this misplaced loyalty really worth it? The pathogen has begun its work. You can already feel it ravaging your body. The virus doesn’t care about you, doesn’t care you’re a father. You’re merely its host. And it’s just getting started.

[Dramatic music]

Maybe the chip’s being weird. Ok. Try this one.

[Upbeat music playing]

[Device beeps]

Sorry.

What? What the hell? Are you–are you sure your card reader’s working?

It hasn’t happened all night. Maybe you should call your bank.

That’s ridiculous. All I had was a piece of pie and a cup of coffee. Uh, maybe I have some cash. Let me check.

I’ve got it.

[Tense music]

They came to the quartermaines’ to get carly?

Fortunately, the wedding was over. Michael and willow are officially husband and wife.

Still, I don’t understand the urgency. Didn’t anyone explain to those sec agents what was going on?

Molly tried pulling one of them away to help explain the situation, but they didn’t care. Then I was paged to come in and cover, so we had to leave.

Hmm. How much can one family endure?

I know. The last thing michael and willow need is… another crisis. Still, they handled it well.

Well, I’m sure it helped that they are actually legally married.

[Both chuckle]

You know, you can see how much it meant to both of them. They were so happy. You know, despite the treatments and the disease, I swear, willow looked radiant.

I believe that. Though I don’t know where she finds the strength, after everything she’s been through and just giving birth and having two small kids. But then again, I guess that’s reason enough to keep fighting, isn’t it? Kids have a funny way of… making you pull it all together, keep you in the present, especially when you’re with them.

[Dramatic music]

Willow’s been so brave. And her strength comes from her family.

Yeah, this time with them has–it’s– it’s meant everything to her.

Maybe it takes having kids realize that. I never would have imagined that I would take quality time with a toddler over a spa retreat any day of the week.

[Chuckles] I can actually see that with willow. When she’s with wiley and amelia, it’s like… nothing else matters. She’s their mom, not–

a woman with stage iv cancer.

[Tense music]

Michael, I’m here. Oh, my god, willow.

Look, look, the kids are upstairs sleeping, ok? I–

I saw the ambulance from the house. What happened?

I don’t–I don’t know. We were talking about–about sonny. I was worked up about something, and she fainted.

Oh, my god. Oh, my god. It was too much. Wait, is this my fault?

What’s wrong? No dial tone?

You had it disconnected?

Why don’t you have a seat, da scorpio? It might be a while until my superiors get here.

We’re wasting time, hursley.

I can’t trust a word you say, not after everything you’ve been keeping from the bureau, your former colleagues.

Look, this is so stupid. I’m worried about the end of mankind, and you’re worried about whether you’re in or out of the loop. Just let me out of here.

I said have a seat, scorpio.

You think I’m gonna let you keep me in here?

Let you?

[Chuckles]

I say something funny?

[Heart monitor beeping]

Valentin’s vital signs are too low. I’m going to administer the antidote.

Wait.

Your haste has necessitated me skipping important steps and protocols. I’ve gone directly to testing the antidote on humans, and I can’t do that if the human is dead.

Not yet.

Do you want to know if the antidote is viable? That is why you kidnapped me, is it not? If you’re going to ignore my expertise, let me go back to port charles, where I’m really needed, where I can actually save a life.

What is the point of testing the antidote mere moments into the infection? It’s hardly practical, is it? As a scientist, don’t you want to know how effective the antidote remains in the later stages?

Holding off administering the antidote is putting your son’s life in jeopardy. You claim this is for science, but something tells me it’s not the efficacy of the protocol you’re testing. More like valentin’s endurance for pain.

Maybe it’s both. Valentin is made of strong stuff. He knows he can end this at any moment. All he has to do is talk!

[Both grunting]

Is he breathing?

[Dramatic music]

Curtis.

[Bottle shatters]

[Both grunting]

[Panting]

Let me go.

What’s going on?

Let me go.

I found her trying to get in the back entrance. The boss wants to put her with the other prisoners.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

The nephew and his girlfriend are on the ship with the baby. The swiss doctor’s the only one here, and she’s with the boss. I’ll clarify what he wants to do with her.

No, I can do that.

That’s against protocol.

Hey, I’m just following orders.

Whose order?

Ow, ow, ah!

if you’re coming with us, we need to go now.

I am. I am. Um, look, there–there’s bottles in the refrigerator. There’s a bottle warmer on the counter.

We can handle it.

I know the routine.

Ok.

[Dramatic music]

She’s gonna make it, right?

Course she is.

I got it. I got it, ok?

[Upbeat music playing]

Here’s a $20.

I’ll wrap that slice up for you. You can take it to go.

[Sighs]

Those card readers, they glitch all the time.

How was the wedding?

It was beautiful. And I know everybody says that about every wedding, but michael and willow’s wedding, truly beautiful.

Yeah.

I mean, they had the ceremony in the quartermaine living room, where they got married before.

You know, that first wedding put michael in a better position so he could fight nelle for custody. And it’s kind of ironic, in retrospect, that of all people, nelle gets credit for michael and willow coming together. That’s two blessings that nelle’s responsible for… the other being wiley.

Of course, in the negative column, nelle did try to murder michael. And then she used willow’s dead infant to make michael believe that wiley was dead.

[Dramatic music]

Are you enjoying this?

No, I’m just realizing that nelle didn’t even know that she used her dead nephew as a prop. And I point this out because you have a tendency to sentimentalize nelle. And I just think it’s fair to remind you that nelle was really a horrible person. Oh, but back to the wedding. It was beautiful. It was wonderful. I mean, michael and willow stood there, and they promised to love and honor each other as long as they both shall live. So now we pray, right? We pray that drew finds dr. Obrecht before the sec finds drew.

Plenty more where that came from.

[Laughs] Attacking a wsb agent wasn’t wise. You just blew any shot of getting anyone to listen to you.

If the bureau believes just a portion of baldwin’s story about a biological agent, they’re gonna bomb that island into the stone age. Standard operating procedure. But what they don’t know is that I’ve already got a team in place, waiting to take victor out. I just– I need a bit more time.

That’s not my problem, not my call.

Call the director. Tell him it’s me.

[Knock at door]

Oh, uh, I was looking for my friend anna devane. Isn’t this her room?

Felicia!

Robert?

Felicia, call frisco!

[Groans]

Hey, hey, what’s going on?

[Exhales heavily]

That was quick thinking.

Thanks. Get this off me, please.

Absolutely.

Ok.

There we go.

[Grunts]

Ugh.

Ok.

All right. Ok, what’s next?

Well, we don’t have much time before victor’s people, uh, figure out what’s going on. I got to stash this guy…

ok.

Before somebody stumbles on him, ok?

All right.

[Grunts]

What the hell? What is this place?

Victor’s playground.

[Groans]

We must stop this. Let me administer the antidote now.

Try it, and it’ll be the last thing you do. Valentin. Valentin. We’re going to find your companions sooner or later. You must realize this time you’re buying for them comes at a terrible cost. Are you really willing to pay with your life, to leave charlotte fatherless? Yes, I’ll–I’l l try to stand infor you as best as I can. But I think she would prefer her papa.

No. They are–

yes, yes, they are–

they are–they are where?

Where?

Spencer, spencer, please, please wake up. Wake up so we can go. Come on, please.

Trina, the guards are tied up, ok? We need to get out of here. Chances are, they heard the noise and they’ll be here any minute.

Ok. Ok. Help me. Help me carry him.

There’s no time for that. We got to go.

I won’t leave him. I won’T.

Trina, trina, I will come back and get spencer. I promise.

No! Spencer, please. Come on, baby. Please wake up.

where are they? Who was with you?

It’s burning. It’s burning.

Focus! Where are they? Who are they?

He’s delirious and incoherent. What use is he to you like this? This has gone too far, victor. Let me give him the antidote.

What are you trying to save? You can’t stop it. It’s burning. It’s burning.

Damn him!

That is your dilemma, isn’t it? You want to damn him, but he’s still your son. I saw how affected you were when you thought he was dead.

That was before his betrayal, before his disloyalty.

Let me save him before it’s too late.

My son’s intransigence will cost him his life.

Then he is his father’s son. He’ll die because his own father was too vindictive and stubborn to save his life.

We’re done here. Come on.

[Grunts]

Spencer, spencer. Just please open your eyes.

Ok, damn. Slide over. Let me help, ok? Come on.

[Groans]

Wait, wait. Spencer. You ok?

Yeah. Hi.

Hi.

Hey. You’re ok. What happened?

Look, we’ll do the play-by-play later. We got to find your little brother and get you guys out of here now. Can you stand up?

Yeah, I think so.

Ok, come on.

[Grunts]

All right. You good?

Yeah. Yeah, I have to be, for ace.

Ok, ace–ace is one of the staterooms, but he’s with some creepy nurse right now.

That’s all right. We’ll get him.

Thank you.

Let’s go.

What are you doing?

Michael, I know you want to go in, to be there to encourage her, to hold her hand, but you can’T. We’ve got this.

Tj, just let me by.

You want me to waste precious time standing here arguing with you? Let me do my job. We’ll bring you in when we can.

Don’t you let her–

look at me. Look at me. We’ve got this. I promise.

Well, wiley and amelia are fast asleep.

Small favors.

Some wedding night, huh? Oh, poor willow and michael.

[Sighs] In my experience, wedding nights are way overrated. Did I ever tell you about mine with your grandfather?

Let’s just pretend you did.

So there I was, the blushing bride with the impressive lord ashton, or so I thought at the time. And I come out of the bathroom, and I’m expecting puccini on the record player and rose petals on the bed. And instead, I have my husband out cold, drunk as a skunk.

Well, no foreshadowing there, huh?

Hopefully, your wedding night with chase will be much more successful.

What? Where did that come from? Chase and I aren’t even dating.

Oh, give it time. After what you did for him– actually, what I did for him– the least he can do is make an honest woman out of you.

I’m super grateful for you stepping in with the ccrb, ok? But chase already has his badge back, so why do you still think you can hold this over my head?

What about the sec?

Sonny didn’t tell you that sec agents hauled me out of michael and willow’s wedding?

Yeah, he mentioned it.

Yeah. Well, it turns out that they were more interested in drew than they are in me. And when I couldn’t tell them where drew was, they threatened to hold me overnight. But fortunately, drew’s name turned up on a flight manifest from san diego to hawaii.

How did you manage that?

[Soft music playing]

If sonny didn’t tell you, I don’t really want to get into it, ok? The problem is, when the sec realizes that drew’s not in hawaii, they’re gonna resume their search. And if they find drew before he finds liesl? Hopefully, drew has a big enough lead, but that’s all we can do right now is hope. But anyway, back to the wedding.

No, it’s ok. I’ve heard enough about the wedding.

Willow’s happy, very happy.

Hey. So sorry I’m late. Hi, carly.

Mm.

How was the wedding?

Why, that seems to be everybody’s favorite topic of conversation. It was beautiful. Avery did a great job.

[Phone ringing] And it was, um, a lovely evening… for everyone who was invited. Tell the waitress to keep the change and the pie.

[Dramatic music]

What did you do to carly now?

Hey, michael. What’s going on?

Willow collapsed. We’re here at gh.

I’ll be right there.

Laura, we should– we should keep moving.

The guard said that liesl was here with victor. He probably wants her for her medical knowledge, right? I mean, why else would she be here?

We got to try and figure it out later. We got to find valentin, ok? We still need to find him.

What is this?

What’s what?

Look, it’s written in german.

I wonder what it says.

If you require assistance with that, I’m sure dr. Obrecht will be more than happy to translate.

I beg your pardon? What do you mean, hold over your head?

You already know. When do you plan to cash in, huh?

You’re just like your father, always thinking in terms of money and exchange, like we’re all little stocks that go up and down.

Oh, so you were just happy to help chase. You just did it out of the goodness of your heart.

Well, maybe it occurred to me that it might be handy to have a police officer in my debt.

Chase owes you nothing. Do you hear me? It was all me. I’m the only one who owes you.

I just want my family to be happy and healthy. I didn’t do it for chase. I did it for you and for what I want out of our relationship.

[Dramatic music]

Brook lynn, where’s my mommy?

[Heart monitor beeping]

Start a second line and run it wide open. Let’s got a cbc, cmp, and dic panel.

I can’t believe I just saw her walk down the aisle. She looked so happy.

She wanted that wedding more than anything. Might’ve been more than she can take.

It’s like my whole frame of reference shifted. What I’d refused to see before was suddenly standing right in front of me.

All of that time, I’d been falling in love with you.

And since then…

[Chuckles] That love has only grown. I’m fulfilled in ways I never thought possible because of you and our kids.

Problem is, kelly’s doesn’t serve martinis, and I could really use a martini right about now.

Why don’t you try a hot chocolate?

What? Good grief. Coffee, black, please.

Uh, you know, I’m just gonna have a decaf latte. Thank you so much.

[Soft music playing] Thank you for meeting me.

Yeah, of course. You sounded… concerned and–and worried. What’s going on with you and carly? You didn’t crash that wedding, did you?

No, I didn’t crash the wedding, but someone did. It seems like when the government’s money is on the line, the sec bureaucrats act with lightning speed.

The sec showed up at the wedding? Oh, no.

Oh, yes.

Well, that’s terrible for willow, but it’S… more or less what you wanted, right?

No, it’s not what I want– I didn’t want to ruin willow’s wedding. And I didn’t know they were gonna freeze all of carly’s assets.

Oh, ouch. Oh, you better hope she doesn’t find out it was you who snitched.

Well, I–

[Sighs] I spoke to martin, and he assured me that the sec won’t trace the tip back to me.

Great. So then you’re in the clear. Forget the coffee. Let’s go get some champagne.

No, you don’t understand. Carly isn’t the one– the only one facing consequences. Drew could be facing charges too.

Well, nina, I mean, you knew that would happen when you turned them in, right?

I didn’t know that drew would be out there somewhere trying to save my daughter’s life.

Mr. Cain, as I live and breathe. I had a hunch laura might be part of my son’s entourage, but your presence is a real bonus. This is kind of a– a full-circle moment, isn’t it, seeing as I had hoped you would provide me with this location, but you failed.

Mm. No, actually, you failed. You failed to access my memory.

“Po-tay-to,” “po-tah-to.” It’s still a pity, all those years you wasted. Pointless. I mean, for you, that is, because, well, here I am. No. Oh!

[Laughs] Oh, dear, still trying to take on the world single-handedly, are we, mr. Cain? When will you ever learn? Hmm. Oh, and I have missed this, laura, your barging in where you’re not wanted, as always. This is a bit of a full-circle moment, too, you here with me… at the very end.

What do you mean, the very end?

[Tense music]

You want me to gag you too?

Felicia, call frisco! It’s life and death! The bureau knows about the virus. Call off the emergency protocol. And–and the others, they’re on the island–

quiet! You want me to punch you again?

[Heart monitor beeping]

[Breathing shallowly]

[Door clicks open]

Anna? Is that you?

No, my son. Someone so much more important to you.

[Dramatic music]

Ok, you guys. Remember the plan, right? We play it way cool. Get in there, we get the baby, and we get out. Trina, you watch the door. Are we ready? All right. Let’s do it.

What are you doing here? I wasn’t informed of a visit.

Step away from the baby. Do it now.

Hey, buddy. I thought you were sleeping.

Where’s mommy?

Oh, she wasn’t feeling well, so your daddy took her to the doctor.

Who’s that lady?

Oh, that’s aunt tracy. You remember her. She was at the wedding. She’s really nice.

Wiley, my little boy is your uncle ned. Actually, he’s not really so little. And when he was your age, he really loved trains. I hear you like trains too.

And horses.

And horses. Oh, my goodness, I love horses too. But you know what I like more? I like stories.

Oh, what do you know? Wiley loves stories too.

I was just about to tell brook lynn a story. Want to help me?

[Laughs]

One of my favorites is “the miller’s tale.”

Oh.

[Clears throat]

And there’s also the one about the little pigs.

Yeah.

Ok. Ok. So once upon a time, there were four little pigs–

there were only three little pigs.

Oh, well, I guess I’m a little rusty.

When is mommy coming home?

After she’s had a chance to rest awhile.

That’s right. She’s gonna come home to you and your baby sister.

And while we wait, I’m gonna tell you about that fourth pig you obviously have forgotten about.

Yeah!

[Elevator bell dings]

Hey, how’s willow?

I don’t know.

[Sighs] I just know I can’t lose her, mom.

You’re not gonna lose her, all right? Ok, that’s not gonna happen.

I’ve been trying to prepare myself, but I’m not– I’m not ready. I can’t–I can’t do this.

Listen to me. You’re not gonna lose willow. You guys are gonna get to the other side of this. I know it. You are.

Drew went after victor? How did they find him?

Well, I don’t know all the details. I just know that they somehow tracked the “haunted star” to greenland. That’s where aunt liesl and the others are.

Does portia know? What about laura?

Well, laura and curtis went with drew. And sonny told me that drew went specifically to bring aunt liesl back home.

I hope he brings them all home, right? Trina and spencer and the baby.

Yeah, I hope they all come home. But when drew comes back–

oh, there might be a couple sec agents waiting for him, huh?

After putting everything on the line to save willow, drew’s gonna come home with the sec sifting through his business and possible jail time. I mean, he could lose his company, everything that he built, his whole life that he built since he managed to escape from victor. And it’s all because of me.

[Light music playing]

[Sighs]

You want to know what I think?

Yes, I do.

People contain multitudes.

Meaning?

People are full of contradictions, nina. Drew may be a hero, and he may also deserve to go to prison. That ain’t your problem.

Pathogen will be released, and the world’s suffering can finally come to an end. It’s actually quite merciful, really.

That’s why you murdered luke, so that you could unleash your poison?

Oh, much as I’d like to take credit, my brother mikkos developed the pathogen several decades ago. It was only after I acquired the ice princess necklace that I could finally locate his facility.

Decades ago?

Oh, my brother was way ahead of his time.

Your brother was a maniac. But to drew’s point, what makes you think that a pathogen that was created decades ago is still going to work?

Ah, now, that is an excellent question. And I guess you’ll just have to see for yourselves.

[Dramatic music]

[Gasps]

Exhibit A. My son was administered the pathogen earlier this evening. Not so long ago, isn’t that right, liesl?

Do you doubt the pathogen now?

Helena?

Yes, my son. Oh, soon we’ll be together.

Please help me.

Do you think I am the angel of mercy, that I’m here to save you from a painful, agonizing death?

Maybe you believe that I have arrived to transport you to those fluffy clouds of heaven?

Oh, my poor, dear little twisted boy. I’m here to drag you down, down where you belong… with me for eternity.

don’t you think you’re being a little harsh?

The fact is, no matter what drew is doing to find your aunt and save your daughter, he and carly did break the law.

Yeah. That’s right. They broke the law. They broke the law. It’s not like we’re perfect citizens either, though.

Mm, don’t I know it. But what’s done is done. And you can either let the guilt paralyze you, or, since carly probably won’t be able to be, you can be there for your daughter. Choice is yours.

[Light music playing]

[Heart monitor beeping]

[Door clicks open]

Dr. Ashford, I have the blood work from the lab.

Thank you, uh, and please call the lab and thank them for rushing these for me.

[Dramatic music]

[Sighs]

Thank you.

Mm. Sleep, little one.

[Sighs]

Hey.

Hey, do you have any news?

Yes.

No. You go straight back to hell. I’m not going anywhere with you!

Not yet. But soon. Your father has all but sealed your fate.

[Knock at door]

Open up. I have your supervisor on the phone. Robert, are you all right?

Ah, I knew you’d come through.

No, no, no, you don’t understand. Frisco was replaced as director.

What?

Yeah. I got through to him. I told him that laura and the others were on the island, and frisco refused to give the order to destroy the island, so the governing board replaced him on the spot. And the new director gave an order to destroy the island.

Along with everyone on it.

Yes.

Ok. The seaplane is docked on the other side of the island. Do you think the two of you can make it there with the baby?

What about you?

I didn’t come alone. And I will not leave without the rescue team.

There’s a team?

I have no time to explain right now. You guys take the baby and get out of here right now.

Curtis.

Trina, I will be right behind you as soon as I can. I promise.

Not until you tell me who else is on this island.

Drew cain, valentin, and laura.

You’re insane.

On the contrary. I’m welcoming in the dawn of a new world…

where only the strong can survive.

Are you sure about that?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Auntie Mag. Sorry I’m late. That’s it. Sorry you’re late. Not even a decent excuse. Well, or even a fabricated one. I actually, I was with Gwen and I was letting her stop. Stop. Alex, really, seriously, you have the nerve. To tell me that you couldn’t make it to work on time because you were having a booty call with that woman.

No, I’m telling you that I’m late because I was letting that woman know that our booty calls are over.

Oh, wow. I hate seeing my gwenny looking. So glm just stop staring then and go back to your. Phone or whatever, but I wanna be here for you. And you know, it’s so late if Alex, Kiki had been my friend with benefits and he suddenly cut off those benefits, my pennies is being a twist too. You know damn well that that is not what I’m upset about.

Well, it’s one of the things, right? And the reason I didn’t bring up the other thing is because I’m your best friend, and I know that the other thing is the painful thing, whereas the thing with Alex is more of an insulting, irritating thing. So I thought. It’d be something of a distraction to bring up that thing rather than the really, really hurtful thing, you know?

No, I don’t, I haven’t. The funs idea of what you are rambling on about. Well, that’s because you’re obsessing over Xander. Poor Gwenny. Oh. Could you just stop being so patronizing? You know, I hate that damo. Are you sure that Sandra and Chloe are, are really moving in together now? I wish it weren’t so. What I saw with my own two eyes, your cock doodle do.

And that songbird definitely looking to nest. And they actually bought the apartment. Yep. And the crazy thing is right before they decided it was right for them, Brady showed up to look at the same apartment for him and his bratty kid. As soon as he sees Chloe, he gets this miserable look on his face just like that one.

And he was hell bent on talking her out of it.

Chloe, look, I, I know that things have been challenging for us lately, but, but moving none with Xander. I mean, you say your friends, but what kind of friendship can you have with this guy? I mean, he’s, he’s distrustful. He. He’s made enemies left and right, including you at one point in time. I mean, I don’t understand why you wanna make a home with him.

Because to be honest, I am lonely and he’s good company. Chloe, if he wants to move in with you and he’s, he’s offered to foot the bill, that’s because he’s expecting something is going to happen. Please don’t do this. Don’t make this kind of a mistake that you and I both know that you’ll regret. Oh, hey, I thought that was Baker Girl’s room.

Bakery. Yo, who the hell is that? The girl that works with Chanel that sweet bit, believe her names Talia.

Um, why did you do that? Listen to me. Hi. And listen. Good before that bitch killed my mother. She broke her heart when she went for my father. So now it’s time to see how she likes having her heart broken. She’s already had her heart broken her ex cheated on her, and then moved to a different continent, which is why it’s the perfect time for you to swoop in and sweep her off her feet, and then break a little heart all over again.

Why did you kiss me, Talia?

Okay, thanks. Yep. Hey, just spoke with Paulina Price and reviewed her statement with her. You got something maybe, uh, turns out there was an opportunity for Sloan to have gotten a hold of Paulina’s office keys. I knew it, but Sloan wasn’t the only one. Turns out my sister had the same opportunity.

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

You really think your sister had something to do with this? I’m just going by what was taught to us at the Academy Boss gathering all the facts. Don’t rush to judgment what we think doesn’t matter. It’s what we know. True. So what do we know? We know that Tallier Rens, Paulina Price at the square and so did Sloan Peterson, who has made it no secret that she is gonna continue to pursue her vendetta against Paulina and Chanel.

Sloan also had motive to trash Paulina’s office, whereas your sister did not. In fact, from what I have witnessed, your sister has no reason whatsoever to want hurt Paulina. In fact, she works for Paulina’s daughter. You said that she and Chanel get along great, didn’t you?

Sorry. I guess I was just caught in a moment. Now I, I wasn’t looking for an apology, Talia. Yeah, I know, but I owe you one. You’ve been upset, you know, with everything going on and. The last thing I want is to take advantage of that. It’s okay. It’s just, I, it kind of surprised me. I, I didn’t even know you were into girls.

I’m not. At least I wasn’t. And so now, I mean, I’ve only dated guys before. And I don’t have to tell you, you know how baking is all about chemistry? Yeah. So it’s physical attraction, right? And there’s no denying that there’s real chemistry between me and you. Look, it’s not like this was a premeditated thing.

I mean, you were in my arms and it felt right and you know, kissing. You just felt like it was supposed to happen. Yeah, it felt right to me too. But you just broke up with your girlfriend, so maybe it’s too soon to do something with me. Actually, maybe it isn’t.

I don’t know any. Tanya, I said, Talia, whatever. I don’t know any Talia either. I think you have the wrong room. Um, she definitely saw her here. I know. Cause I, I live right down the hall here. My friend, uh, Chloe and I, we bumped into her recently coming out of that room.

Listen, I appreciate your concern for me, Brady, but if my moving in with Xander’s a mistake, then. It’s my mistake to make, but Chloe, God, it affects me too. See, don’t you, don’t you understand that? I see. I care about you, Chloe and I, I love you.

I love you too, but I think it’s time for United Admit that in our case, love is not enough.

What are you, what are you saying? I am saying that you and I are over. You don’t mean that. You don’t mean that. Come on, Brady. You and I both know that we’ve been done for a while now. We’ve just been in denial about it ever since Rachel started hating me and you had to put her feelings first. She’s my daughter.

I know that. I know that. And I don’t blame you for that. I’m a mom too. I understand. What is. It’s like to prioritize your child. Look, listen, listen to me. Rachel’s a kid. She’s a little girl. She’s, she’s not always gonna feel the way she feels right now. She’s gonna come to realize that, that, that, that you make her father happy.

It’s not gonna matter to her cuz she also sees me as the person who makes her mother miserable. And you and I both know all too well that Kristen fueled that fire she made Rachel believe that the only thing standing in the way of the three of you being this happy little family is me. So what’s, what are we, we’re just gonna let Kristen win.

Is that it? No. No. No one wins in this. Kristen got Rachel to hate me, but she didn’t get you to fall back in love with her. And Rachel got her way by keeping us apart, but her parents still aren’t together. And you ready? You are the man that I fell in love with. You are so full of hope and so joyful. And little by little, I have witnessed that that joyfulness and that hopefulness just steadily being eaten away.

And I know why. It’s because you are her wonderful father and you can’t stand seeing your girl suffer. But the way that Kristen regards me and the way that she’s influenced Rachel to regard me, I am indirectly responsible for that pain and I can’t in good conscience continue with that.

I can’t believe this, and, and Chloe moving in together, I mean, She is such a boar, completely humorous. There’s not an ounce of a spark to the woman. And not to mention the fact that I, I thought that she hated Sandra because he left her with some Mexican drug, Lord. So why a sudden 180? I mean, it just doesn’t, it doesn’t make sense.

And I know that he and I weren’t perfect together, but I mean, Really, really, really good times. You know, a lot of romance and laughter. Laughter. My God, I can’t even imagine him laughing with Chloe Lane cause she’s such a,

is everything just. Oh, everything’s just such a struggle. Why? Matt? Why? Why? That’s it, girl. That’s it. Let it all out.

Hey, hey. If it’s any consolation, it is a two bedroom apartment. What two bedrooms sink. Two bedrooms, that that means that they have their own room, although the second bedroom would make for a great office or a workout room for that. Scotty Hotty. Oh, Gwenny. Come on. I’m just trying to lighten the mood. Put the pillow down.

Come on. You know what you need to get you through this. What? A giant dartboard with zanders bubbly mug on it. That, but I was thinking a nice bottle of tequila. Two pints of ice cream. No. Make it three. You could use one too. Strawberry, right? I’m going to dial a broom. Service. No, don’t you dare. Look, I don’t know what you think you saw.

But this is my room. And if there was some random girl coming and going, believe me, I would notice. I’m sure this is the room. I saw that tell you, girl, come out. What are you the house, dick? Excuse me mate. No offense mate. It’s just slang. For hotel detective, they used to say it all the time in those old black and white noir films, you know, the ones where people have questioned more moral character, give each other trouble of some sort.

Jada, where is this coming from? Has Taja done something like this before? Something to make you suspect her of these pretty egregious offenses? No. No. God no. No, no, and and it’s hard for me to even come up with a reason why Talia would wanna hurt Chanel or her family. But I also know that I need to put my personal biases aside and look at all of the possibilities as hard as it may be, and both my sister and Sloan Peterson had the opportunity to steal Paulina’s keys from her purse when she left it unattended.

Okay. I can’t argue with your logic, but Yep. I think I may have found a hole in your theory.

I was talking to Commissioner Hernandez in his office and he had this picture of Allie and her son Henry on his desk, and she had just sent it to him. Allie’s your ex. Right. And she and the commissioner are there real close and he told me that she started seeing someone in New Zealand. Well, he didn’t actually tell me that.

I just, um, I asked and he didn’t say anything, which was obviously his way of telling me that yes, she is seeing someone. Sorry. Yeah. Well, I’m not all that surprised anyway. Now you know why the health department shutting us down is only part of the reason why today has been such a rough day for me. So you and your ex, you guys were pretty serious.

We were. And then we hit this rough patch and then I, I thought that we were gonna be able to figure things out and work it out. But then I caught her with this guy, Alex, and, well, that was pretty much the end of us. So you and Gwen Oh, sit, sit. Are done seeing each other.

Auntie I, um, I started some therapy with Dr. Evans and she helped me realize that all this sleeping around that I’m doing, it’s actually my way of avoiding any commitment and not just to a particular woman, but in everything else in my life. Hmm. Well, I’m, I’m glad to, um, hear that you see that, Alex. Well, good, because as of right now, I’m putting all of my energy into my commitment at Titan.

I’m gonna show you firsthand that I am dead serious about doing my part in contributing to the growth and the success of our family business. Excuse me. Hello? Hello, Victor, will you sound upset dear. Could you slow down? What?

Are you sure what a says? Oh, oh my God. Oh my God. Whoa. Whoa. What’s going on? Mun Victor’s son, your cousin Bob Brady is alive.

You’ve made it clear we are a teen sea bit overextended when it comes to our tab at this fine establishment, but a girl’s gotta eat a teen sea bit overextended. Phyllis is this close to seizing the spectator and auctioning it off to pay off this massive hotel bill. No tequila fine. It’s not the expensive stuff.

What if we settled on a cheap bottle of wine and two fruit cups? Wow, my mouth is watering.

All joking aside, I know that losing Xander was a huge loss for you. You need to mourn that loss. So if you need to yell, scream, throw pillows, just not at me. You do whatever you need to do to get a handle on your feelings. I’m here for you. Thank you, Matt. And you’re right, I do. Oh, do you really need to just vent and just get it out and just cry and scream and just throw things?

I need to just really mourn the loss as you put it. I need to stop pretending to be so tough and invulnerable.

You know, I was talking about that earlier with Alex Keis before he dumped you too. I am so sorry. That just slipped out.

Bo has been dead for years. Yeah. Or so we thought. And he’s just, he’s alive. I mean that’s, that’s wild. That’s great news. Yeah, but there’s some bad news as well. Bo’s in a coma in a hospital in Greece, and they’re not sure he is ever gonna wake up. Oh my God. I’ve only heard a million times from Uncle Vic about his son and how proud he is of him and how much he loves him, and that’s why he’s fueling up the Titan jet as we speak.

He’s planning to fly to Greece and do everything he can to make sure that that Beau is getting the best possible care. I mean, honestly, I, I have never heard Victor this emotional, but then why wouldn’t he be, I mean, everything, any of him just aches to be with Bo the son. The son, he thought he lost Auntie.

I can only imagine what he’s going through right now. You know what? Why don’t you go to Greece, go with Uncle Vic. I will handle all the business here if you give me that chance.

This is the police report that Sean filed before he went to Greece and he took following a statement after her office was vandalized. What’s it say? Well, I’m looking at the times here, and we know that when Pauline had got to her office with Stephanie, she opened her office with her own keys, which was very soon after she had left the square where she ran into Sloan and Talia.

So if either my sister or Sloan lifted Paulina’s keys while they were in the square, they would’ve had very little time to go make a copy of the key. And then come back and return the original key somehow to Paulina’s Purse so she could open her office door. Exactly. I have to admit, even though Allie is halfway around the world, I, I still thought that maybe we would somehow find her way back to each other.

But now she’s moved on. That’s right. So maybe I should just move on too.

What’s the problem? She’s into women. You’re a woman. Yeah, but I’m not gay. I’m not even, bye babe. Come. All. I really want just you. Okay. Elise. That’s what I thought you wanted too, but it seems like you’re trying to pit me out. No, no, not at all. I only want you to, this won’t be real, at least not for us.

Chanel on the other hand, She’s gonna fall a head over heel for you cuz how could anyone know

what? You’ll commit a crime for me. But you won’t kiss a girl, babe. It’s more than she’s kissing. You’re asking me to lead her on and then break her heart. Chanel maybe if we shouldn’t do this. Yeah, I’ve seen those old movies, but. Not your type of films. There you are. More of a romcom type bloke. Kanye, where are you from anyway?

What’s that? London eye detect. How about this? I won’t ask you any questions about who’s coming in and out of your room, and you don’t ask me any questions about who’s coming and outta my head. Whatever. I’m here to pack up my stuff anyway. I’m finally moving out. This’s. Roy’s my turn. Good. Sounds like we won’t have a problem then.

Will we? Wish I could say it’s been a pleasure.

The Vern’s getting bigger and creepier. Good thing I’m getting outta here. You say it’s not about my feelings for you. How could it be? It’s ever since Kristen got to Rachel, I felt responsible for the suffering of a child. And once I realized that I couldn’t change that I, I couldn’t get Rachel to like me and see me for who I am, it just became more and more intolerable for me that I was the cause of her suffering.

And that girl has had a hard enough life without having someone who she perceives as being the only thing that stands in the way of her having her family together. Chloe? Chloe. Chloe. I understand.

Thank you for that.

I understand that this is hard for you too, and I’m sorry, I, I’m sorry, but like I said before, you are, you’re an amazing father and I respect that so much. And nothing, nothing is more important than that.

God. So, um, This is it. I mean,

oh, I thought I wasn’t, I wasn’t gonna share this with you, but, oh. This morning I was feeling, I was feeling really sad about us and I was alone, and I decided I wanted to sing to try to cheer myself up. And the first song that came to my mind was, and I Will Always Love You.

It didn’t cheer me out. No. That, that, that selection would not do the trick, but it wouldn’t. And the lyrics, the lyrics did ring true because Brady, I will, I will always love you.

I’ll always love you.

Why do you think this isn’t a good idea? Doya? It’s like you just said, there’s real chemistry between us. Wait, is, is this because you’re not sure about being with a woman? No. That’s not it. Okay. Then what is it? I mean, you made a pretty bold move when you decided you wanted to kiss me and you just went for it and now you’re pulling back why I can’t think I can do this.

You know how important this is to you.

When this is finally over, I’ll be okay. No more mood swings. And more crazy depression because I’ll feel like I’ve got justice for my mom and we will be so happy together.

I love you so, so much. You love me sweet, don’t you? Because you’re my boss. I mean, how would that look? A boss and her employee hooking up, at least for my sister Jada’s job, they have policies against it and that’s what’s standing in the way of her getting with her boss. You know, commissioner Heidi. So maybe it wasn’t Sloane Peterson or Talia who trashed Pauline In’s office.

Maybe it was someone else entirely. Sloan Peterson swears she had nothing to do with it. And I certainly hope my sister didn’t either.

What is it you? You know there’s a small, a mom and pop hardware store just off the square. It would only take a person a few minutes who is very motivated to run over there and get a copy made. Everyone thinks Uncle Vic is so strong. But we all know that you are the one who keeps him strong. Auntie, you are his rock.

That’s why you need to go be with him in Greece. What do you think? I’m just having misgivings about leaving right now. Alex, I mean, the last time that I trusted you, uh, with autonomy, you, you. It’s undermined my authority as the head of this company and then you, you compromise the values that I had laid out.

I can’t deny that. I also can’t deny that you’ve been generous enough to give me far more chances than I deserved, which is hardly the argument for me to give you another one. And I admit that I have had some poor judgment in the past. I’ve made some errors. But I think I have made it very clear that there is nothing that matters more to me than my family.

That’s why I’m asking you. I’m pleading with you. Go be with Uncle Victor in Greece. He’s about to go through something very difficult, very emotional. Also miraculous. That’s why he needs you.

Okay. Okay then. Um, but this is your last chance. To prove that you are committed to this company and to this family,

and this is, it’s a very important deal to tighten. It’s hugely important. In fact, the details are all laid out. The plans are in place. I have done all the heavy lifting, so you don’t have to do anything other than just close the deal.

I am not going to let you down, auntie, promise you,

you know, I was only using Alex to, to make Xander jealous and to get over him.

You see, I truly believe that Zander would stick around. There was something about the way that he looked at me and the way that he’d make me laugh, the way I made him laugh. How we

accepted each other’s weaknesses are many. Weaknesses for we, we still see the good in each other.

I’ve never felt such a deep connection to anyone ever like that before.

I’ve never had that ever. Never ever.

I really hope you do get it one day. I really do, because honestly, yes. Who’s the best feeling of all to know that somebody sees you for you with all of your faults and still loves you?

And so therefore you, you see yourself through their eyes and it look makes you love yourself more. You know?

I feel that with you, Gwenny. You make me feel that way.

I doing with you too. Damn. Only we wanted to jump each other’s bones. You finally,

I’m really sorry it didn’t work out for you and Xander, and I’m sorry that I had to be the one to tell you that he’s moving in with Chloe. Yeah, well that’s all right, cuz as you said, I would’ve found out eventually, wouldn’t I?

You know what I.

I think I need to get some,

I have to go out and and figure out how I’m gonna say goodbye to the only man that I truly love.

So let’s go check out that hardware store then. Right. And we’ll show them Sloan and Talia’s picture and see if either one of them had to keep me that day. Yeah.

Talia, I know they have rules like that for the Salem PD and other places too, obviously about the so-called inappropriate relationships between bosses and subordinates or whatever. But it’s like you said, I’m the boss here at Sweet Bits, and there isn’t any policy to stop me from being with someone. I like if it’s consensual, obviously.

And. To be honest, I don’t even know if you working here for me is even going to be an issue anymore with the shutdown. I don’t know if a sweet bits can survive this. Look, I know you okay, well, at least I’m getting to know you, so that’s why I’m confident you’re gonna figure out a way to keep this place going.

And if I do, It will be because I have someone like you in my corner, someone who has my back, someone I can trust.

And I, I, I feel like I can trust you, Toya, and especially with everything I’ve been going through lately, it just means so much to me. Oh, sorry. I better check this. Sure.

Everything okay? Yeah. Um,

okay. Well, um, I’m gonna stay here and clean up a little bit more. I can help you. No, it’s, it’s okay. I can handle it. But how about I meet you later? Like for a date? What do you think? You can maybe talk some more and. See where it goes. Hi. Sure. Okay, well, um, dinner at Bistro.

Hey, so, uh, what I walked in on earlier was you and Brady. Does that mean you guys are. I’m back together because if you decided you don’t want to move in with me, I totally understand. I mean, I’ll figure something out. I don’t really need two bedrooms, but who knows? Maybe I’ll find another roommate, Andrew.

No, it’s okay. You don’t have to find another roommate. No, no. When you walked in on me and Brady, that was goodbye.

So I hear that Zander and Chloe are shacking up, get drown sorrows together.

Our first meal in our new place. Yeah. We’re lucky to have that great Italian restaurant down the block. Many others. Whoa. Do you always order pizza with that much sausage, pepperoni, and bacon? I’m an unapologetic carnival. Chloe, get used to it. Oh, uh, I don’t Suppose you want a slice of my half for the pizza.

Oh, the side that’s covered in. Disgustingly healthy spinach and slimy mushrooms. Now that’s all you always, I’ve enjoyed. Oh, but I would like to make a toast.

Thank you.

You better off with that, him, Chloe. Yeah. Right. And you are better off without her. Although I’m not sure which her I’m actually referring to. Does it matter? Alright. I’ve had to better toast a jolly or one one that’s a bit more future oriented. I can get behind that to my charming roommate, to my carnivorous, remain.

Who can also be quite charming when he sets his mind to it.

And what are you drinking? It’s club soda. Mm. Well, I’m gonna need something just a tad stronger. Scotch rocks. Perhaps perhaps two or three if the waitress ever bloody comes round. It’s funny, I, I heard that you recently gave up scotch. Yeah, I had actually, then I picked up the scotch again. I do admire you though for remaining abstinence, even under very trying circumstances.

I’m sorry about you and Chloe. Thank you. I wish I could say the same about you and my cousin, but he’s a swine and an idiot, so I think it would be an understatement to say that you’re better off without him. Maybe your best without Chloe. Now, why the hell would you say something like that to me? So it’s fine for you to tell me that I’m better off without Xander and that he’s swine an idiot.

But I’m meant to sing Chloe’s praises. I’m gonna stop you right there. Listen, whatever you had. Well, Xander is nothing compared to what I had with Chloe. Okay? Ah, angry, drunk. Who doesn’t drink? If you think that we’re just gonna. Crown each other’s shoulders or something. Gwen, look at me. Do I look like I’m crying?

Bloody hell, I need that drink. White dress. Come on.

Well, I made all the arrangements. I’m gonna wave Victor to Greece to see Bob. Ah, and I’m getting myself up to speed with this amazing deal that you set up for Titan Auntie. Trust me, you are not gonna be sorry for letting me handle this, okay? Well just stick to what I laid out in this folder and, um, when I come back, tighten you and I, we ah, will all be in a better place.

Bye-bye Alex. Good Uncle Vic, my love

Chanel Dupree as I live. Andre. Hi Leah. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. At least tell me how the wedding planning is coming along. I’m guessing it’s gonna be quite the affair since you’re marrying a rich and powerful demira again. Okay, I’m gonna tell you again, like I told you before, lady Whistle blow hard.

Johnny and I are just friends and the engagement that never was is off. In fact, I have a date tonight. Well, someone else. Whoa, lucky you. So male, female, cisgender, transgender, non-binary, gender queer, a gender pan, gender two-spirit, third, gender, any combination thereof. Wouldn’t you like to know?

Hello? How’d it go? Well, I have dinner tonight with Chanel at the bistro. Ooh, that’s fancy. Hold on, and I can tell just how excited you are about it. Why would I be, I’m leading someone on deceiving her planning to get her into my bed just so I can dump her and break her heart. Why would I be happy about that, Colin?

I do have a conscience. You know? I know you do. And I respect you for that of course. But this woman killed my mother in the most horrible way possible. You seem to forget that. No, I haven’t forgotten that. It’s just, come on. I can’t help but feel for her. Even so, right. I need you to fight that feeling.

Okay. And I need you to do this for me. I know you will because we love each other and you know, How important this is to me. You do, don’t you?

Yeah, I do.

We had a break in a few years back. Hope Brady helped us find a concrete. She still in charge? No, I’m the commissioner now. Oh. So to confirm, You’re the only one who makes keys in your store. Yep. Just let it all me. Alright. Should uh, this woman come in and make a copy of the key a few weeks ago?

No. I remember such a pretty lady.

How about this Pretty lady? Oh yeah. I remember her real well, not only because she was an icap, but she was in a hell of a rush.

[ Relaxing music ]

Eric: Look who’s here. Well, it appears that, uh, ridge was able to talk you into coming into the office.

Rj: Well, of course, he promised me lunch with you, granddad.

Ridge: You know, I thought we could bring our favorite influencer to our favorite take-out restaurant, see what he thinks. If he likes it, he can tell his friends and his followers can blow it up.

Rj: Hey, if we do that, you’ll probably never be able to get another order in.

Ridge: That’s a good point. Let’s not do that.

Eric: You know, ridge junior seems to be just about as popular as you were at his age.

Ridge: Easy, almost.

Rj: Hey, hey, hey, hey, neither of us are as big a deal as you are, granddad.

Eric: I’m glad you realize that. It’s good to see you, welcome back.

Rj: Good to see you too.

Ridge: Couldn’t agree more.

Rj: Thanks, dad.

Thomas: You know, zende suggested that we do thicker braiding.

Hope: To give it more structure.

Thomas: Yeah, but I’m thinking maybe just on the sides.

Hope: Yeah, so it doesn’t–

Both: Break up the flow.

[ Hope chuckling ]

Hope: I swear, thomas, sometimes you can read my mind.

Daniele: Well, I have to congratulate you, deacon. You’re doing an amazing business over here.

Deacon: Oh, thank you, chef daniele. I gotta tell you, it means a lot coming from a world-renowned chef like yourself.

Daniele: Well, you know, I have to be honest. When I sold the restaurant to you, I was a little bit nervous, but il giardino is a hit. Well done, deacon.

Deacon: I gotta say, our clientele, they expect a lot.

Daniele: But the pizza must be perfect.

Deacon: Mm-hmm. Oh.

Daniele: Look at that.

Deacon: Yes. This is amazing. So much flavor in the crust and the– the texture. How do you do this?

Daniele: When you have a lot of business, you turn up the heat.

Deacon: So cook it faster.

Danielle: No, no, no longer. Slower and longer.

Deacon: Longer.

Danielle: Yes. A drop in 15 degrees temperature, it will make the crust go puffier, airier, crispier. Look at that.

Deacon: Well, if it tastes as good as this one, I’m gonna have to hire a bouncer to handle the lines outside.

Daniele: Cheers this.

Deacon: Yeah. Mm. So good.

Deacon: All right, enough pasta.. I’m gonna eat this whole damn pie. Chef, I just want to thank you so much for– for putting your faith in me, for your wisdom and your guidance. You’re the best.

Daniele: Well, my mom in naples was the best. She taught me. I’m teaching you and look at you, deacon, you’re a success. Good job.

Deacon: Well, I hope so. I mean, I got a long way to go, but uh, I’ll tell you I wouldn’t mind making a little more money.

Hope: Where is that sketch that you were showing me earlier? The one you were working on?

Thomas: Uh, this one?

Hope: Oh, yes. Oh, it turned out so great. I love that you brought the pattern all the way down. I mean, it really helps the way that it–

Thomas: The way that it drapes.

Hope: Exactly.

Thomas: Yeah.

Hope: You know, thomas, no one does casual sophistication the way that you do.

Thomas: Hey, that’s the heart and soul of california fashion, right? And that’s what forrester creations is known for. But we always do it with a little bit of an unexpected twist.

Hope: Um, segue, uh, speaking of unexpected twists, have you seen much of rj since he’s been back?

Charlie: Oh, well, you look at this. What do we have here? We’ve got double trouble. Right here at our stage. We got ridge senior and ridge junior. Welcome.

Rj: Hey, charlie. Do you have that, uh, new badge for me?

Charlie: Yeah, I– yeah, I, but you know, we need to redo the picture because your I would– it’s on pammy’s desk.

Ridge: It’s a good thing to have. You’re gonna come in every day. You should have one.

Charlie: What? What? That’s great. Welcome aboard rj.

Rj: No, no, not quite, charlie.

Eric: Maybe, uh, maybe someday.

Rj: I mean, if I was working here, it would give me more time to hang out with the coolest guy I know.

Charlie: Oh, stop.

Eric: It’s me.

Ridge: Well, here we are. Finally got you back here from halfway across the world. Now, just gotta figure out how to keep you. People call it the biggest smalltown festival in minnesota.

Daniele: You want to make more money, deacon?

Deacon: Doesn’t everybody? Which is why I’m gonna be hiring a new wine sommelier. And as a matter of fact, I should have one coming any minute.

Daniele: That’s a great idea.

Deacon: You know, il giardino is a classy place. We gotta– we gotta lean into that, you know. Really step it up, find somebody who knows what they’re doing, with some flair, with some sprezzatura. You know, that’s– that’s where you really make the money.

Daniele: Of course, I agree on that. But remember, people come in for the food. Freshest ingredients from the farmers’ market. The local produce is everything. That’s what people come in–

Deacon: No, I get it. I get it. I mean, if I don’t do those things right, all the flash in the world isn’t gonna make a difference.

Daniele: Well, you are my friend.

Deacon: Oh, come on, you gotta go so soon?

Daniele: Yes, I’m off, my friend.

Deacon: Oh, chef daniele, thank you so much for everything. For your advice, your friendship. Don’t be a stranger, okay?

Daniele: I won’T. Remember, keep up the quality and the money will come, my friend. Ciao.

Deacon: Ciao. Money, money, money, money, money. Show me the money!

Boucie: Did somebody just say my favorite word? Money!

Rj: So, tell me about the hot new takeout place.

Ridge: Dad, let me ask you something. Why is it every time I bring up work, this one changes the subject?

Charlie: Well, uh, lunch will unfortunately have to wait. Uh, the big boss has a meeting.

Ridge: No, my schedule’s clear.

Charlie: Nah, nah, nah, nah, no, the O.G. Big boss. The original uh, big, in this case, the original granddaddy big boss, this guy, him.

Ridge: Excuse me.

Eric: Yeah, thanks for the reminder. I appreciate it, charlie. It’s a video conference. It shouldn’t take too long.

Ridge: Why don’t you take it here?

Rj: Yeah, I– I can help you with the lighting, the background.

Eric: You know, actually I have the ring light and the tripods set up just down the hall, so I’ll do that.

Rj: Wow, I’m impressed.

Eric: Well, I have an influencer friend who gave me some tips, you know. I know how to do this.

Rj: Well, it’s nice to know I have at least one big time celebrity follower.

Eric: I’m proud of you. I’ll be right back.

Rj: All right.

Ridge: Well, there you go. The forrester men, now they know how to put on a show. Your granddad taught me, but it turns out no one had to teach you. You know all this stuff already. You know what? That kind of knowledge could come in very handy around here.

Thomas: You know, when you asked me back to hope for the future, I vowed to do it right this time. Because that’s what you and the company needed from me, and douglas too. Total commitment. And that’s how this company started, you know. Granddad was totally committed to what he was doing and I’m gonna be that and more. I’m gonna take hope for the future beyond anything forrester creations has ever done.

Hope: Yeah. Well, we hit a slump when we could least afford to have one and things looked pretty bleak, but thanks to your help, we were able to turn things around.

Thomas: Thrilled to do it.

Hope: Yeah, I just wanna make sure though that you don’t get so caught up in this, that you don’t have any time for yourself, or to spend with douglas.

Thomas: Oh, I promise that’s not gonna happen. And we had so much fun at the game last weekend.

Hope: Remind me again, how many hot dogs did you let that boy eat? Was it?

Thomas: Uh, not as many as me. Look, I promise it wasn’t as many as me. And uh, and I also– gosh, we had– we always have fun when we’re together, but um, I– I did let him know that obviously you and I are just really busy right now.

Hope: That is true. And I guess that answers my question from earlier, about rj. I mean, I know you saw him when he first got home, but I’m guessing you haven’t had any time to spend with him since?

Thomas: Not really. Honestly, we just haven’t crossed paths or had a chance to connect.

Hope: So, you haven’t been avoiding rj at all? And I’m just curious about how you really feel about rj being back. That’s all. She’s feeling the power of listerine.

Boucie: Might you be deacon sharpe, the proprietor of this fine dining establishment?

Deacon: Ah, yeah. And you are?

Boucie: Count boucie, master sommelier to the stars and the answer to all your dreams. It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance fine, sir.

Deacon: Uh, yeah. Pleasure’s mine. Who’s this?

Boucie: Uh, that’s my grandson.

Orville: Hi.

Deacon: Hi.

Boucie: I hope it’s all right that I brought him along.

Deacon: Yeah, no problem.

Orville: Gramps, I’m hungry.

Boucie: Ah, we’ll get something to eat in a little while. Just go sit down and–

Orville: But gramps, I’m hungry.

Boucie: Just sit down. We’ll be right with you.

Deacon: I’m guessing you saw my ad for a wine expert?

Boucie: And count boucie is the man you are looking for.

Deacon: Uh-huh.

Thomas: How do I feel about rj being back? I think it’s great.

Hope: Okay. I wasn’t sure.

Thomas: Well, I mean, I know that dad and brooke really missed him.

Hope: Well, so have I.

Thomas: You understand why he stayed away though, right? He just wanted to avoid the family drama.

Hope: Yeah, but he knows we’re past that now.

Thomas: Yeah, he does.

Hope: Yeah, I mean, I’ve been updating him on everything. I mean, mom and taylor are being besties now. Bill helping ridge put sheila back in jail. I mean, douglas is home. He knows we’re on better terms now.

Thomas: Yeah. Everything seems kind of copacetic, doesn’t it?

[ Hope chuckling ]

Hope: Let’s hope it stays that way.

Thomas: I don’t see any reason why I shouldn’T.

Hope: Wow, that is good to hear. I just know that I’m thrilled that rj is back home, in los angeles, but I understand if your feelings are a little more complicated, nuanced, complex.

Rj: You know, I’m not kidding. Grandpa is 100% a-list.

Ridge: Ha. He would love to hear you say that. And it’s great to see him so happy with donna too.

Ridge: Yeah. Well, you know, those logan women bring it out in the forrester men.

Rj: Oh, yeah. And vice versa.

Ridge: Well, it’s working for them.

Rj: But not you and mom?

Ridge: Listen, your mom and I, we– we have some great memories and we created you. This incredible kid.

Rj: Well, it’s great that she’s in a happier place now.

Ridge: It is great.

Rj: You look happy too.

Ridge: Of course, I’m happy, you’re back. I mean, your mom and I, we couldn’t be happier.

Rj: Well, I mean, I’m– I think the whole truce with taylor plays a part in it too, right?

Ridge: Yeah. No, I’m sure it does. And– and if I had known that that was a possibility, I would have encouraged it years ago.

Rj: Well, you know, from what I’ve heard, it definitely sounds like you, uh, played a part in making it happen, so.

Ridge: Really? You’re gonna do that?

Rj: Yeah.

Ridge: So you came back just to rub it in. Is that it?

Rj: No, dad. I– I’m just, I’m– I’m just curious, you know what’s going on between you and mom?

Deacon: Uh, so you’re a count?

Boucie: Uh, at your service.

Deacon: And a wine sommelier?

Boucie: Not any wine sommelier.

Deacon: All right, you– you service the stars.

Boucie: Uh, you inquired about said services. You won’t find anybody better than count boucie. I have an exceptional wine mind and a distinguished palate. Give me a chance and uh, I’ll prove it to you.

Deacon: Um. Oh.

Hope: I just get it, okay? It’s your baby half-brother rj. I understand if there are some competitive feelings there.

Thomas: He, look, he hasn’t been around in a long time and it may take us a minute to– to reconnect, but I don’t see him as competition. And also– oh yeah, I– I– I look, I promise. I– I meant what I said. I’m glad that he’s back and if he wants to come and work here, I will make him feel welcome.

Hope: Of course, you would.

Thomas: Look, I am glad that he’s back, but more than me, I think that your mom and my dad are really glad that he’s back.

Ridge: What did you ask me? You asked me how things are between me and your mom? Was that it?

Rj: No, if you don’t want to talk about it–

Ridge: No, it’s not that I don’t wanna talk about it. I just– I’d appreciate it if you’re not gonna play matchmaker.

Rj: No, dad. Come on, I’m not gonna do that.

Ridge: Well, we’ve already had it, right? Steffy and thomas, they wanted me back with their mom and that didn’t work out well.

Rj: Yeah, well, thomas did a little more than he should have. But like I said, I don’t wanna get involved in any family drama.

Ridge: Well, I think that’s wise.

Rj: Thanks.

Ridge: And as far as your mom and me, we’re um, I don’t know. We’re just chilling.

Rj: Chilling.

Ridge: Yeah, chilling. We’re just gonna leave it alone for now.

Rj: Right. ‘Cause you’re so good at that. Come on, dad. I know what you’re like when you set your mind on something, talk to me, talk to me.

Ridge: Now, that’s another forrester trait that you were given.

Rj: Yeah, it’s an invaluable one, as long as we’re not butting heads.

Ridge: We’re not, right? We’re not butting heads.

Rj: No, no, no, not us.

Ridge: You know why? ‘Cause I’m glad that you’re here. I’m– I’m so happy to see you and so impressed with the man that you’ve become. The man that– that you’re becoming. I need to talk about the future a little bit and it’s not, there’s no pressure here. It’s just– it’s what I told granddad, you know. You’re– you’re talented and you– you– you have, um, you have this passion and understanding for something.

Rj: And– and I’m– I’m using it.

Ridge: Yeah, I know you’re using it. Yes, you are. You’re traveling, you’re seeing the world, you’re– you’re– you’re living your best life and I love that. But you were given something. You were given a gift. I don’t know if it started with your granddad, I think it did, but he gave it to me. He gave it to thomas, you have it. It’s a gift to create beauty. And I see it in you. I see it in your work, I see it in your videos, your art. You look at– at the world in a– in a– in a very unique way and whatever you see, you find a way to– to make it tangible for everybody. I need you to do something for me. I need you to show me. No, I don’t, I– no, you don’t need to show me because I already know. You need to show yourself because I’m convinced you could be the greatest designer that forrester has ever seen.
