Update written by Joseph

Gwen comes out of the shower as Leo comments on her gushing and flattery in her interview with a murderous psycho. Leo reads part of her article and mocks Gwen writing that Dimitri does have a heart.

Dimitri enters the living room of the DiMera Mansion where Kristen is reading the interview and comments that it looks like someone turned up the charm and made significant headway in seducing Gwen. Dimitri believes he has but admits he’s surprised not to find Megan waiting here to hear all about it.

Megan goes to see Li, who questions if she thinks it’s a good idea for her to be here. Megan assures that she waited until all his roommates were gone and that they were alone because it’s vital now that they continue their conversation. Li questions why their call was cut short and if someone walked in on her. Megan confirms that she was rudely interrupted by EJ overhearing their plan to eliminate Stefan.

EJ has a nightmare about finding Stefan dead. EJ then wakes up, tied up in the wine cellar, remarking that he’s now stuck in a nightmare of his own.

Nicole goes to Stefan’s room and asks if he knows where EJ is.

EJ complains that Megan will be sorry she ever came back from the dead as he struggles with being tied up.

Li questions why Megan would tell EJ about their plan to off Stefan. Megan repeats that he overheard her on the phone as she would never choose to tell him. Li asks what exactly EJ overheard. Megan explains that EJ overheard her saying that her brother was not long for the world and assumed she was talking about him. Li asks if EJ knows it was him on the phone but Megan assures that he didn’t. Megan says she explained that EJ had the wrong brother and they were planning to do away with Stefan and that it might also work out in EJ’s best interest. Li asks if EJ went for it. Megan says it felt promising briefly but then he had a sudden attack of conscience. Megan thinks back to knocking EJ out with the vase.

Kristen tells Dimitri that she has no idea where Megan is but suggests Dimitri tell her all about it. Kristen asks if Dimitri proposed to Gwen or if he’s waiting for an actual date with her. Dimitri senses her disapproving. Kristen says she’d be a hypocrite to disapprove of him doing whatever he needs to do to achieve his goal. Dimitri asks even if that means using someone who is apparently a friend of Kristen’s. Dimitri asks if she’s sure that she is okay with him using Gwen to get what he wants.

Gwen suggests Leo stop reading her interviews. Leo says he’s just teasing her but Gwen feels he is questioning her journalistic integrity. Leo brings up Gwen using blackmail to wrestle the Spectator away from Jack. Gwen reminds Leo that was his idea. Leo says they are straying way off topic and wants an explanation as to why Gwen went so easy on Dimitri. Gwen responds that they sat down and had a rather nice chat. Leo complains about being exiled from their room so Gwen could have private time, only to come back and she wasn’t there. Leo asks where they went after the Bistro but Gwen informs him that they stayed there and ordered room service. Leo asks if they had the meal in bed. Gwen assures they sat down and ate, then when the interview was over, she went straight to the office to get the article in for the morning. Leo argues that Gwen’s article is dripping with subtext and he knows she has a thing for Dimitri. Gwen argues that she barely knows him. Leo says he knows her better than anyone. Gwen then admits that Dimitri is quite attractive and she realized they have so much in common. Leo questions if they are kindred spirits. Gwen says she wouldn’t go that far but there was definitely a connection.

Kristen tells Dimitri that she does like Gwen, but she got her the pardon so Gwen owes her, not the other way around. Dimitri admits that he enjoyed her company as she seemed to really listen to everything he had to say and even related to a number of his life experiences. Kristen says there’s no doubt that he tailored those experienced to mirror Gwen’s. Dimitri admits he may have embellished the details to tell her what she wanted to hear. Kristen comments on their potential marriage. Dimitri assures that if he convinces Gwen to marry him, it will be for richer and not for poorer. Kristen brings up Megan having big plans for his inheritance. Dimitri acknowledges that Megan has a plan for absolutely everything.

Stefan tells Nicole that he doesn’t know where EJ is. Nicole explains that last night, EJ sent a text that he had to go out of town on last minute business and she hasn’t heard from him since, so she was worried and thought Stefan might know. Stefan assures that he doesn’t and remarks that the fact that they both don’t know where he is probably means that EJ is up to something underhanded.

EJ tries to encourage himself to remain calm so that he can free himself and warn Stefan about Megan.

Megan informs Li that EJ is tied up in the secret room underneath the DiMera Mansion as it seemed like the logical place to stash him. Li questions how she even know about the room. Megan explains that she learned of it last year when she sent Bo to steal the orchid from there. Megan remarks that in hindsight, she wishes she never sent Bo to Salem then perhaps everything would have turned out differently. Li would rather talk about her current offering and worries about destroying his future if EJ tells anyone. Megan assures that EJ has been taken care of and is her problem, not his. Megan tells Li to just focus his full attention on eliminating Stefan, so that he can eventually reunite with Gabi. Li asks how they are going to eliminate Stefan. Li then questions Megan thinking that he’s the one that’s going to kill him.

Kate meets Harris in the park and asks if he gave some thought to her proposal from the other day. Harris confirms that he has and he’s in because Megan has to be dealt with before she has the chance to hurt someone else. Kate is glad that Harris came to his senses because Megan is a menace to society. Harris clarifies that he’s not going to kill Megan. Kate doesn’t understand since he said he was on board with getting rid of her. Harris responds that as a Navy SEAL, he’s learned that there is more than one way to make somebody disappear.

Megan doesn’t seem why Li would be put off by the concept of murder, reminding him that he already made an attempt on Stefan’s life when he pulled the plug in Dr. Rolf’s lab. Li explains that is why if Stefan is a victim of foul play, he would be the chief suspect. Li complains about prison. Megan assures that he won’t have to find out about it as she would not trust a job like this to an amateur assassin like him. Megan declares that they need someone with ice in their veins, who is trained to kill and willing to kill. Megan adds that she knows just who that someone is.

Harris tells Kate that he will exile Megan permanently to a place where she can never hurt another soul again. Kate asks if he’s talking about a black site. Harris says the less she knows, the better. Kate says all she knows is that she will sleep a lot better once she knows Megan has been banished. Kate reminds Harris that they have to keep this between them because Roman is a man of conscience and stopped Steve and John from killing Orpheus, so he will definitely try to stop them as well. Kate talks about separating a mother from her son being like cruel and unjust punishment, so she suggests that Harris pick up Dimitri and take him along for the ride.

Leo questions Gwen going soft on Dimitri. Gwen insists that she asked him some very hard questions. Leo doesn’t see any mention of how he kidnapped Kate or threatened to blow up Europe and Salem or how he manhandled him. Leo adds that there’s also not a single question about his psychopathic mother. Gwen thinks Leo is just a little jealous that Dimitri is interested in her and not him. Leo argues that it’s obvious to anyone that Dimitri has an ulterior motive. Gwen asks what that would be. Leo admits he doesn’t know what lies ahead for them, but swears on his life that Dimitri is not motivated to charm Gwen because he thinks she’s the bee’s knees, but because he has some sort of grand and sinful plan.

Kristen tells Dimitri that she did hear Megan amassing an army with Harris Michaels at the helm. They agree that she sounds delusional. Kristen admits that she only intends to stay on Megan’s good side so she can assist her with the resources to regain custody of her daughter. Dimitri jokes about Kristen going the legal route this time and that being new for her. Kristen comments on it not being easy since Brady has his lawyer sister Belle on his side and she is an attack dog. Kristen declares that she needs an attorney but it’s been a challenging to convince someone to represent her. Kristen then reveals that she has someone in mind; Sloan Peterson, though she is sleeping with Brady’s brother, Eric. Dimitri calls that a conflict of interest. Kristen says he’s not the only one in the family who can turn on the charm. Kristen mentions hearing that Sloan has a weakness for a certain champagne and they have some in the wine cellar. Kristen says if she can turn on the charm and present her with a bottle, she’s quite sure that Sloan will accept a retainer. Kristen then heads down the secret tunnels..

Nicole questions if Stefan is insinuating that EJ is involved in some plot that she doesn’t know about. Stefan thinks it’s possible. Nicole disagrees and says that can’t be what’s happening since she and EJ have an appointment with a specialist in about an hour to discuss if or how she can carry her baby to term. Nicole says EJ did a lot of research to find this doctor, so him suddenly missing doesn’t make any sense. Stefan asks if maybe killing his chances at DiMera is more important to EJ than having this baby with her.

Kristen finds EJ tied up in the wine cellar.

Gwen asks Leo what possible objective that Dimitri could possibly hope to achieve by charming her. Leo suggests maybe he wanted the charming article that she wrote about him and he just used her to rebuild his reputation. Gwen says she retained professionalism and that he seemed really genuine. Gwen argues that she’s not deluding herself as there was a definite attraction that she could feel.

Kate tells Harris that Dimitri is as cold-blooded and manipulative as Megan. Kate adds that Dimitri may not have tried to kill her but he did hold her hostage, so she would like to see him cut off as well. Harris understands but worries about making two people disappear and that it would increase the risk substantially. Harris feels bringing Dimitri could compromise getting rid of Megan.

Li acknowledges that Megan had Harris brainwashed once but he thought the ISA deprogrammed him. Megan confirms they did, but that doesn’t mean they can’t reprogram him to do her bidding and that’s where Li comes in. Li is afraid that’s not his area of expertise. Megan points out that he could secure Dr. Rolf as she trusts that Li knows where he might be. Li questions her wanting to bring Dr. Rolf back to Salem which she confirms. Megan feels it’s not much to ask and rather simple. Megan explains that Dr. Rolf will program Harris to murder Stefan and then they both get what they want. Li tells Megan to consider it done.

Nicole tells Stefan that he doesn’t know EJ like she does. Stefan calls him a pompous ass. Nicole argues that EJ wouldn’t stand her up for something that is important to both of them. Stefan feels nothing is more important to EJ than screwing him over. Nicole argues that nothing is more important to him than their baby as EJ moved Heaven and Earth to make this appointment happen, so she believes he will be there by her side.

Kristen questions who did this to EJ and if it was Gabi and Stefan. EJ informs her that it was Megan, then suggests maybe Kristen already knew that. EJ accuses Kristen of being a part of this since he knew they had their heads together about something. Kristen insists that she had no idea what Megan was planning and that she just came down here for champagne. EJ is thankful that she came. Kristen asks if Megan gave him a reason why she tied him up down here. EJ reveals that Megan wanted to stop him from stopping her from killing Stefan.

Leo asks Gwen if she’s not still licking her wounds from her breakup with Xander. Gwen supposes that she is but feels having Dimitri distract her isn’t the worst way to get over it. Leo argues that Dimitri has made it clear that he wants to kill him. Gwen says if she can keeps spending time with Dimitri then she might be able to talk him out of wanting to throw Leo through a wall when he sees him and maybe she can show him that Leo’s not the incredibly annoying person that everyone else seems to think.

Harris tells Kate that he’s not ruling out possibly dealing with Dimitri, but right now they need to focus on Megan. Kate agrees that Megan is the more pressing threat. Kate asks what his time schedule is. Harris asks why put off to tomorrow, what you can get done today? Kate instructs Harris to call her when he’s done as he then walks away.

Nicole goes to the hospital, wondering where EJ is. Nicole tries calling EJ but it goes to voicemail. Nicole leaves a message, saying first she was really pissed off that he skipped town without returning her calls or texts, but now she’s just worried and she’s at the hospital for their appointment about the baby. Nicole hopes that EJ just lost his phone and is on his way.

Megan returns home to the DiMera Mansion and sees Stefan is off to the office. Stefan remarks that someone has to keep the company running as he heard EJ took another day off. Megan hopes he’s enjoying it and comments that life is fleeting and one day they will look back with regrets. Megan tells Stefan to live it up while he can and seize the day. Stefan wonders if Megan went over the proposal that he and Gabi put together for her. Megan thinks back to throwing the proposal in the fireplace and remarks that it definitely sparked some ideas and left her with burning questions, but she doesn’t want to keep him. Stefan decides they will talk later and exits. Megan remarks that’s assuming he’s still alive as she heads in to the living room and greets Dimitri. Megan mentions reading the article in the Spectator and calls it impressive as it seems Gwen is already smitten with him. Dimitri admits he’s smitten with her as well. Megan suggests he go see her to keep the momentum going. Dimitri mentions that he was just speaking to Kristen, who mentioned that Megan was putting together an army. Dimitri questions what exactly she is doing. Megan responds that whatever she does is with him in mind. Megan tells Dimitri to go sweep Gwen off her feet and move them closer to their goal. Megan then asks where Kristen is now. Dimitri says she said something about grabbing a bottle of champagne from the basement which worries her. Dimitri adds that she’s probably still there now and then exits. Megan then rushes towards the secret tunnels.

Kristen asks EJ why Megan would want to kill Stefan. EJ asks her to untie him before playing 20 questions. Kristen tries to untie him but struggles with the knots as she asks about Megan’s motivation. EJ explains that Megan said she wanted to eliminate Stefan to reshuffle the family power dynamic and that it would be a means to an end in her brain. Kristen decides that she needs to find something to cut the ropes to untie EJ. Megan then bursts in her with a gun drawn and warns Kristen not to do that.

Leo tells Gwen that he’s sorry but he cannot support the fake romance between her and Dimitri. Gwen asks what if Leo’s instincts are right and Dimitri is just playing her like a fiddle. Dimitri then shows up at the door with roses for Gwen.

Li walks through the town square and runs in to Stefan. Stefan tells Li that he wants to thank him for letting his divorce to Gabi go through so smoothly. Li knows they are soon to be married and jokes that he’ll keep an eye out for his invitation. Li remarks that he always knew Gabi would end up with the love of her life. Stefan calls that big of him and thanks him. Li says he told Gabi that her happiness means a lot to him. Li then asks when the big day is. Stefan informs him that it’s next month. Li congratulates him and shakes his hand. Stefan thanks him and walks away. Li then remarks to himself that it’s too bad Stefan won’t live long enough to say “I do”.

Megan leaves Kristen tied up in the wine cellar with EJ. EJ assumes Kristen no longer has any doubts about Megan being unhinged. Kristen swears that she had no idea what Megan was planning. Kristen admits that when Megan pitched her ideas of picking up where Stefano left off and conquering the world, she went along with it, but Megan is so much more deranged and sadistic than she thought. Kristen worries that they could be Megan’s next victims after Stefan. EJ says that seems inevitable, but at this point, Nicole might just push Megan out of the way to get to him first.

Nicole waits around at the hospital and gets a text that Megan sent from EJ’s phone, saying he’s sorry but he has to miss their appointment and to go meet the doctor without him.

Megan emerges from the secret tunnels and finds Harris Michaels in the living room of the DiMera Mansion.

Update written by Joseph

John and Steve go over case files, trying to find something that leads them to Abe. Steve encourages that they are going to find him and they won’t stop until they do. Paulina shows up at the door. Steve thought she was still in the hospital. Paulina explains that she was released after insisting her blood pressure would go down after getting out to help in the search for Abe. She asks if there’s any news. John informs her that they just started combing through the evidence that the police sent them. Paulina knows if they want the case done right, they need Black Patch on the job. Paulina asks what they have but then can’t believe they have nothing.

Abe rewinds Whitley’s tape of Body and Soul that got interrupted by his mayoral speech from 2008. Abe pauses it and questions how it can be true that he’s the Mayor of Salem, when “Paulina” said he ran an ice cream shop. Abe wonders what the hell is going on here.

Stefan and Gabi go to their room. Gabi complains that EJ made a huge mistake and calls him a pompous ass. Stefan says they tried, but they aren’t the only ones that EJ needs to worry about taking him down. Stefan adds that the doesn’t trust any of his siblings, but there’s something especially deranged about Megan. Stefan believes that EJ and Kristen have their limits but there’s no line that Megan won’t cross to get what she wants..

Megan returns to the DiMera Mansion and gets a call from Li, who declares that he’s in on taking Stefan down by any means necessary. Megan calls that a wise decision and remarks that with his help, she’s sure that her brother is not long for this world, which EJ overhears behind her as he comes back to the room and asks if that’s so, startling her. Li asks Megan what the next step is and how soon they will put this plan in to motion right as Wendy comes home. Megan tells Li that she has to go and hangs up. Megan tells EJ that she didn’t see him there. EJ says obviously not or else she wouldn’t have been plotting his demise.

John tells Paulina that he wouldn’t say they have nothing. Steve says they’ve checked every lead. John assures if it’s in here, they are going to find it. Paulina asks what she can do to help. Steve brings up that Rafe said the last person to see Abe was the nurse Whitley King. Paulina says she talked to her and she said she didn’t know anything. John asks if she’s sure. Paulina assures that she got everything out of Whitley that she could and goes over that Whitley said she took care of Abe in his room until he disappeared and she had no idea what happened to him after that.

Abe rewatches the recording of his mayoral speech again and complains that it just doesn’t make any sense. Abe guesses he won’t get any answers until “Paulina” comes home. Abe resumes the recording of Body and Soul where one of the characters accuses the other of holding a man against his will.

Gabi hugs Stefan and says she thinks he’s perfect as is, but sometimes wishes he was born in to a normal family. Stefan wishes the same, but says nice and normal doesn’t get mansions all around the world, servants, and billions of dollars in assets. Gabi admits she appreciates that but says it’s too bad a constant war with siblings comes as part of the package. Stefan doesn’t want it and says to hell with all the power struggles, backstabbing, and DiMera insanity. Stefan declares that he’s done worrying about what his brothers and sisters are planning, at least for tonight. Stefan suggests passing the time by focusing on Gabi as they kiss.

Wendy tells Li that she didn’t expect him to be back so soon as she hugs him and asks about his visit with their father. Li says it was fine and he sends his love. Wendy guesses that her dad hopes she picks Johnny over Tripp and starts producing grandchildren. Wendy says that’s enough about their dad and asks Li about the plan that he was talking about on the phone. Wendy questions what Li is up to.

Megan tells EJ that it’s ridiculous to think she was plotting his demise and says it’s not what he thinks. EJ argues that it is and threatens to call the police to tell them that she’s violating the terms of her release and should be back behind bars where she belongs. Megan questions what he means. EJ warns that she has greatly underestimated him and he won’t be an easy target. EJ declares that Megan is finished here and orders her to pack up her bags because he wants her out of the house immediately. Megan argues that he can’t kick her out of the house because she has as much right to be there as any of Stefano’s children. EJ says he just did and she has no rights at all as far as the house goes. Megan insists because of Stefano but EJ explains that the deed went to Stefan and ended up with Gabi until he convinced the bank to transfer the mortgage over to him which means he decides who lives in the house. Megan cries that it can’t be true. EJ says it is true and it’s happening. EJ suggests Megan go stay with whoever she was conspiring with on the phone.

Wendy continues asking Li about his plan. Li says it’s none of her concern and them living together doesn’t give her an all access plan to his personal life. Wendy is curious since it’s his personal life and not business. Li tells her to let it go but Wendy refuses and says she’s going to find out either way. Wendy warns Li that she will keep hounding him and making his life miserable until he tells her. Li then agrees to tell her, so Wendy asks what the big plan is. Li claims that he’s hired a matchmaker.

Gabi and Stefan kiss in bed and begin to undress.

John finishes a call with Roman, thanking him for the update and says to keep them posted. Paulina asks what he said. John says that Roman is retracing the officer’s steps in case they missed something but he’s working on it. Paulina admits she feels better, knowing that all of Abe’s best friends are working on the case. Steve encourages that they will keep going until they find a break. Paulina complains that she feels helpless which she is not used to. John relates to worrying about someone you love. Paulina knows that if anyone knows what she’s dealing with, it’s John, Steve, and Roman as they thought their wives were lost forever. Steve points out that they weren’t and Abe’s not either, assuring that Abe is coming home to her.

Abe wonders when Whitley is coming back as he needs answers. Abe continues watching Body and Soul until Whitley comes home and asks if he missed her. She remarks that she knew he would get in to Body and Soul. Abe stops her and says they need to talk. She notes that he sounds serious and asks what this is about. Abe questions why the hell she didn’t tell him that he was Mayor of Salem and asks what the hell else she is lying to him about.

Paulina knows she’s not the first person dealing with a missing loved one, but complains about not knowing where Abe is. John guarantees that Abe knows they are all searching for him and that they won’t give up. Steve adds that Abe is a very recognizable figure in town. Paulina questions where else Abe could be.

Whitley asks if Abe got his memory back. Abe says no and explains that he was watching her soap opera when they cut in with a press conference of him as mayor. Abe questions what the hell is going on since she told him that he ran an ice cream shop. Whitley reminds him that these tapes are 15 years old. She admits he was mayor but it was short lived and claimed afterwards, he soured on politics and opened his ice cream shop. Abe questions why he was only mayor for a short time and what happened. Abe demands an answer. She tells him that his political rival had him impeached for no good reason. Abe asks who his rival is. She responds that it was a horrible man named EJ DiMera.

Megan tells EJ that he doesn’t have to do this as he has it all wrong and she wasn’t planning to hurt him. EJ declares he’s done with this conversation and threatens to have Harold pack her bags or just have them thrown in the street. Megan shouts that she is not leaving the house. EJ threatens to have security remove her by force then but Megan warns that he doesn’t want to do that.

Wendy questions Li hiring a matchmaker. Li asks what she thinks he should do. Wendy suggests dating apps. Li doesn’t like the idea of finding love through swiping. Li says the matchmaker will understand him and what he’s looking for. Wendy guesses their father talked him in to this. Li says he makes his own decisions and asks why wait considering his divorce papers came in the mail today. Li declares that his marriage to Gabi is officially dead, thanks to the man who killed it.

Stefan and Gabi lay in bed together after having sex. Gabi can’t believe they are here again, together out in the open and very happy. Stefan assures that soon they will be husband and wife again. Stefan asks her what’s wrong. Gabi guesses she’s afraid to let herself be this happy again since last time they were married, he was taken from her. Stefan encourages her not to think about that as it’s all in the past. Gabi questions how to just let it go and not remember thinking that he’d been killed, she lost him forever, and her own life was over. Stefan is sorry she’s hurting like that and wishes he could go back and change it. Stefan points out that they made it and they are here together. Gabi asks how he knows something awful isn’t waiting for them around the corner. Stefan insists that it’s not and they were given a second chance, so they would be fools not to take it. Stefan promises that history will not repeat itself as nothing and no one will take him away from her again as they kiss.

Megan demands that EJ listen to her. EJ asks for one good reason not to have her lying, murderous ass thrown out. Megan tells EJ that it’s not him that she’s planning to kill, it’s Stefan.

Stefan and Gabi lay in bed after having sex again. Stefan asks if she’s ready for round three, talking about making up for lost time. Gabi suggests they head to the shower. Stefan tells her to get it ready while he will go to the kitchen to get a romantic dinner set up. Gabi says she can get used to that.

Wendy tells Li that she’s sorry. Li says it’s like he wasn’t expecting it. Wendy knows it still can’t be easy and asks if he’s okay. Li responds that he will live as you win some and lose some. Wendy says this feels like progress as he’s accepting his divorce and not tearing the room apart or plotting a desperate scheme to hold on to Gabi, so she’s really proud of him for finally moving on as she hugs him.

EJ questions Megan wanting to kill Stefan and asks what he’s ever done to her. Megan responds that it’s nothing personal really, but she wants to shake the table a bit. EJ asks what the hell that means. Megan responds that with Stefan out of the way, Gabi will be vulnerable, freeing up power in the family and the company. EJ questions this being about Megan wanting more of Stefano’s fortune and asks if she’s really that heartless to do that to her own flesh and blood. Megan tells him to spare her as Stefano wasn’t above eating his young. EJ remarks that if Megan thinks Stefano would want Stefan’s own sister to kill him, then she didn’t know Stefano at all. Megan questions if EJ did and thinking that Stefano’s legacy belongs to him. Megan mocks Susan which EJ warns her about. Megan tells EJ to get over himself as his self righteousness is boring her. Megan asks why he even cares what happens to Stefan. EJ responds that Stefan is his brother and a decent human being. Megan argues that they have been fighting for months so he can’t think he’s that decent. Megan states that Stefan’s untimely death could be good for both of them and help them both. Megan tells EJ that with one less DiMera in the picture, there would be a much bigger slice of the pie for them as she looks towards the portrait of Stefano.

John says that somebody has to be holding Abe captive. Paulina wonders who and why. Steve says they don’t know yet but Abe is a very powerful and influential man with an equally formidable wife who has a serious bank account. Paulina questions why she hasn’t been contacted for a ransom if it’s about money. John says they are not sure. Paulina asks what they are sure about and complains that it feels like they are guessing when her husband’s life is at stake. Paulina apologizes for snapping but says she’s just frustrated and losing her mind. Steve assures they understand. Paulina knows they are doing their best and that they love Abe too. Paulina cries about thinking worst case scenario but decides she will not go there. Steve encourages that Abe is tough and a survivor, so he will survive this too.

Abe comments on Whitley calling him a good and honest man, then questions why he was impeached. Whitley says he doesn’t usually like to talk about that but Abe says he wants to talk about it now. Whitley repeats that it was sparked by his rival EJ DiMera, who accused him of cheating and somehow proved it but it wasn’t that simple. She talks about how Abe wanted to win to serve the people of Salem. Abe questions if he cheated to win. She blames his shady campaign manager, Jennifer Horton, who put him up to it. Abe vaguely recognizes Jennifer’s name but asks who she is to him. She calls her no one that he needs to know and not a good person. Abe asks about EJ and what happened to him. Whitley responds that EJ is still the mayor of Salem and the most popular mayor they ever had, even more than Doug. Abe complains that this doesn’t feel right because every bone in his body is telling him that his life is different. Whitley asks if he’s okay. Abe says it’s just jarring to see himself on video and asks if he ever tried politics again after the impeachment. She claims he did not as it was all so painful that he wanted to stick to what he knows best. Whitley suggests maybe losing his memory is not such a bad thing because most people are bogged down by memories of the past, mistakes, and pain endured but not Abe as he has a clean slate and gets to start fresh in the present. Abe argues that memories are what they are, complaining that he doesn’t even know what kind of man he is without a memory. She decides that she needs to go start dinner and heads to the kitchen.

Wendy repeats to Li that she really is proud of him. Wendy brings up all the crazy things that he did to keep Gabi around. Li asks if they have to go down the whole painful list. Wendy says she just hated seeing him so obsessed, reminding him that he brainwashed a dude. Li responds that he loved Gabi and believes in fighting for who you love. Wendy says there is fighting and then there is lying, kidnapping, and blackmail. Wendy feels that Li morphed into a lovesick maniac that she didn’t even recognize as he lost all perspective with Gabi and Stefan. Li feels that she’s exaggerating but Wendy says he was out of control and really worried her. Wendy is relieved that he’s finally over Gabi and put all of this behind him before he did something that he can’t take back.

After showering, Stefan tells Gabi that their special dinner will be a surprise. Stefan promises she won’t be disappointed but she’ll have to wait to see it until they go downstairs.

Megan tells EJ to imagine the possibilities since Chad is no longer interested in DiMera Enterprises and Tony is semi-retired, so with Stefan out of the way, Stefano’s legacy is theirs for the taking. EJ points out that she is forgetting Kristen and guesses that it was Kristen on the phone earlier. Megan says enough questions and asks if he’s going to keep her plan to himself or not. EJ responds that he’s sorry as he may have done some despicable things in life, but he’s not going to conspire to kill his own brother. EJ declares that he’s going to warn Gabi and Stefan. Megan then grabs a vase and smashes it over EJ from behind, knocking him out and says to look at what he made her do.

Paulina decides she’s taken up enough time and should leave so Steve and John can focus on finding Abe. Steve knows how brutal waiting can be and offers to let her stay in their guest room. Paulina says that Chanel will be waiting at home. Paulina asks them to promise not to rest until they bring Abe home. Steve and John assure that they will.

Abe resumes watching Body and Soul with Whitley. Abe asks about two of the characters having amnesia. Whitley decides that’s enough for one day and turns it off, suggesting a game of checkers.

Wendy tells Li that they’ve talked enough about Gabi for one night and asks about the matchmaker, wondering when she’s going to start hooking him up with Salem’s women. Li says that he just hired her today and they still need to iron out a plan of action. Wendy asks if he knows for sure the matchmaker is solid and asks how he found them. Li claims he just searched matchmakers and the one he chose had great reviews. Wendy asks what the reviews said. Li claims the one that stood out to him, said she’s known for having quite the killer instinct.

Megan drags EJ in to the secret tunnels since she can’t carry him through the front door. Stefan and Gabi head in to the living room. Stefan says he could’ve sworn he heard a voice. Stefan then sees the broken vase and questions what the hell happened here. Stefan blames the cleaning staff. Gabi suggests they go outside for their delicious dinner, so they exit together.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

How’s the water, birthday boy? Oh, just perfect oh, I wish I could. Unfortunately, I have a meeting with a client I have to get to. Oh. Well, I sure do appreciate you stopping by. Of course. Had to say happy birthday to my only brother-in-law.

[ Chuckles ] Zeke, you make that meeting as fast as you can and come back. We’re having cake later on. Cake? Yes. Oh, I will so be there.

[ Laughter ] Alright, I’ll see you. Okay. Cheers. Everything okay? Yeah. Yeah. I was just kind of hoping that, um, you know, maybe… happy birthday, curtis.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Buttons clicking ] Michael, it’s drew. I just, um — I just wanted to say thank you so much for holding down the fort at aurora. No, I have not been to G.H. Yet. Things got a little bit crazy last night, but I’m — I’m gonna get there soon. I just, um… I got to take care of a little business first. Let’s just say that I am taking the future into my own hands. Sasha, you’re already here. Yeah. I didn’t want to be late. We have time to take a breath. Gladys, I know where this is going, so I’m gonna ask you, please don’t start. There’s no reason to jump into terminating the guardianship. We have been over this several times. I…just want you to think about it a little longer.

[ Scoffs ] It was only a few days ago that you went on the home & heart shopping channel and you almost had another break. I was being manipulated by those sleazy producers. I wasn’t hearing a baby cry in my head. They were playing that noise in my earpiece. Still, the worst could have happened. But the worst

didn’t happen. I was able to hold it together, and the producers backed off, thanks to cody. Well, even you have to admit it, gladys. Cody stepped up and saved the day. Oliviaee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, jesus. Holy mary, mother of god, pray for us sinners now… olivia, are you okay?

[ Sniffles ] Yeah. When I was a little kid growing up in — in bensonhurst, I always remember all the — all the grandmas and the great-aunts pulling out their rosaries, you know, in a time of crisis. And I always swore that I would never be that… old-fashioned, you know, old lady. And then I got old.

[ Chuckles ] And I realized… how scary life can be. And I’m so grateful for my rosaries and for my prayer and for my — for my faith. You know, it comforts me. Why’d you stop praying? Because… honey, I’ve been praying all night. I don’t feel like god is listening. If god listens to anyone, it’s you. Well, then why don’t we have any news about your dad, huh? Just give me a sign, please, something. Hey. Drew told me what happened to ned. And I wanted to be here for you and your family. Olivia, this is great. Carly, you’re an angel. Olivia, look, if I’m the last person you want to see, I can just go. Tj: Ms. Quartermaine? We have some news about your husband.

This is for you, curtis. Thank you, trina. I’m really glad you came. It’s so good to see you, sweetheart. I-I couldn’t — I couldn’t miss curtis’ birthday. I’m so glad to see you, baby. Give me a hug. Oh. Hi. Alright, alright, alright. My turn. Come on. There we are.

[ Laughter ] Wonder what’s keeping thomas junior. Oh, um, tj called to wish me happy birthday and to apologize that he couldn’t be here to join us. He’s shadowing the head of neurology at G.H., So he couldn’t get the day off. Oh. Oh, what a shame. I was hoping to get the whole family together now that it’s all official. And here I thought you were gonna forget about me. I, um, actually had something to talk to you about. Do you have time for a coffee? Oh, um, actually, I can’t stay. I have to meet a client. Okay, you’re gonna need to come up with another excuse, because that one — it’s getting old. No, no, no. Listen, listen. I don’t live in port charles, so when I’m in town, I’m kind of at the mercy of my clients. However, now that you’ve called me, I have your digits. So what do you say? Are you free for lunch? I’ll see what I can do. Okay. Well, if you can’t, I’ll just call you and we’ll make other plans. Okay? Okay. Excuse me. Good seeing you. Hey…partner. How about you join me for a drink? I wasn’t all that sure about cody, but I’ve really come around on him. He seems like he’s one of the good guys.

[ Scoffs ] Am I the only one who remembers that cody stole an expensive bracelet from me? Well, uh, wait a minute. That has yet to be proven. Is that true, detective? I’m not — I’m not gonna comment on that. Are you two here to see willow? Uh, no. Ned, actually. He was in an accident. Oh, no. I’m so sorry, dante. As if your family isn’t going through enough. I will pray for you all. Thanks, sasha.

[ Cellphone rings ] Uh, this is the station. I gotta — oh, yeah. Go take it. I assume you’re here to see willow. I am. After my appointment. I’m here to see a psychiatrist to discuss ending my guardianship. Congratulations. That’s great news. Just to be clear, it’s not a done deal. It’s just the initial consultation. You’re not against sasha regaining control of her life, are you? Okay, let’s update you on what we’ve learned about ned. Okay, um, I don’t want to intrude. So I’m — I’m gonna take off. Okay.

[ Crying ] Carly, wait. Will you stay, please? Of course. Of course I’ll stay with you. Okay. Okay. We’re ready. Late last night, we put ned under twilight sedation for his brain swelling. Oh, god. I’m sorry. No, no. Tj explained that, um, the swelling was moderate enough that — that they may be able to bring it down with the — with medication, with the diuretics. That’s right? That’s correct, yes. We’re keeping ned in a twilight state to manage his pain until the swelling goes down. Unfortunately, we’re not seeing as much improvement as we’d like. W-what does that mean? That means we’ll continue to monitor him for now. But if the swelling persists, we’ll have to bring him in for surgery.

[ Sobs ] You iod. Taggert, it’s only 11:00 A.M., And clearly you’ve already had a few. Are you okay? Why wouldn’t I be okay? I was just wondering if you had spoken with — with taggert at all recently. No. Why? Because he might need a friend right about now.

[ Sighs ] The dna results came back. And curtis is trina’s father. What you need isn’t found in a bottle. Says you. Come on, let’s get you back to your room. I’m on my way to the conference room downstairs to meet with the sec attorneys and work out the plea deal. But it’s my job to look after your best interests. So once again, I’m going to advise you not to do this. I hear you, again. Not changing my mind. But you want me to hold off finalizing the deal because of that ace up your sleeve, correct? Right. Yeah, just don’t finalize anything yet, okay? Um…I’m still holding on to hope. You okay? I’m not sure. I think I just saw my ex-brother-in-law. Okay, everyone. Yes? I want to make a toast to my son. Oh, pop, it’s really not necessary. I know I don’t have to, but I’m gonna do it anyway because…I remember when you were born. I held you in my arms, and I couldn’t believe how blessed I was to be the father of another — another perfect son. I wanted to teach you all the things that my father had taught me. You see, my father, he, uh — my father made sure that I knew that it was just as valuable to play a musical instrument as it was to throw a ball around. He — he made sure he taught me to be open to — to new experiences, explore the world. That’s what I wanted to teach you. But, uh, as we all know, sadly, life turned out differently. But, hey, in spite of that, my son, he loves music anyway. And I got to cook him my world-famous gumbo ya-ya the other night. Yes.

[ Laughs ] So I guess, as the saying goes, better — better late than never. ‘Cause, uh, standing here today…

[ Knocks ] …With my son on his birthday, I feel just as blessed as I did all them years ago. Ah, forget all that. To curtis. Yeah. Oh, oh. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Before anyone drinks, I have something to add. Uh-oh.

[ Chuckles ] The only thing that gives me more joy than being with my nephew on his birthday is that this year… we are joined by his daughter. Alright. Welcome to the family, trina. Hear, hear. That’s a birthday gift. Amen.

[ Laughs ] Yes. Mm, mm. Now I want to get us our first family picture. Oh, my goodness.

[ Chuckles ] Curtis: Well, alright. Uh, e-excuse me. I need to use the restroom. Is it something I said? Of course I want sasha to heal and not need me to be her guardian anymore. That was always the goal. Look, I’m just saying, was it everyone’s goal? Yes, it was. Hey, um, sorry for making you wait. You ready? Yeah, of course. Good luck, sasha. Thanks. I’ll take it. Gladys, please stop worrying. I’m ready. It’s time I took my life back. I’ll keep you posted as soon as I learn anything new. Thank you, doctor. Oh, god. I got to tell tracy. She’s bringing leo because he won’t stop asking about ned. Poor kid is probably so worried. I didn’t go home last night, and he was alone with tracy, so… I’ll go home and act as a buffer, okay? Thank you, sweetheart. Of course. I appreciate it.

[ Sighs ] Olivia, it’s gonna be okay. Ned is strong. I’m just so grateful that drew was there. You know, if he hadn’t been there, if he hadn’t acted so quickly, I don’t know — I don’t know what would have happened. There isn’t anyone drew wouldn’t help. The hell did you just say? I didn’t say — I-I must have misspoke. I mean, I — no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You just say it, carly. You think it’s kind of ironic that drew saved ned’s life when you think that ned was trying to destroy drew’S. I didn’t, no. You didn’t have to say it, carly. It’s what you’re thinking, right? Even though ned swore that he was not the one that told the sec about your insider trading. It doesn’t matter how I feel about ned. I wanted to be here for you. You know what? You know what? Ned only needs people here who are rooting for him, not people who are against him, alright? I don’t wish ned any harm.

[ Stammers ] Neither does drew. Ned swore to me that he is innocent, and I believed him. So if you’re gonna be here sitting in judgment of my husband while he is in there fighting for his life, you just go. I don’t need you here, okay? This is hard enough for me already. You got it? That’s fair. Hey. Morning, carly. Hey. I was just leaving. Is…there bad news about ned? It’s me. I am sorry. The last thing I wanted to do was upset you. I’ll be praying for you and ned and your whole family. Ma, hey. What the hell was that? You okay? Come on. Hey.

[ Sobbing ]

[ Sighs ] I hope you didn’t listen to what sam suggested. I-I am just concerned about you, that’s all. I understand that, gladys, and I know that you feel pressured to do right for me out of obligation to brando. But… it’s starting to feel like you can’t see how far I’ve come. Like at that last home & heart taping. The producers were literally messing with my head, hoping that I would melt down so they could get a pathetic boost for their ratings. But I didn’t freak out. I held it together. And you’re the one who argued against me making that appearance in the first place. I’m starting to feel like you don’t believe in me. No. No. That is not it. Then what is it? Stella, I know you are excited about having trina be part of the family. Hell, you’re — you’re her great-aunt. I’m — I’m her grandfather. I’m excited, too. But we got to do this at trina’s pace, not ours. Ease up. You’re right. I-I am pushing too hard. I just wanted to have the family come together and get over all this hurt between everyone. Yeah. Yeah, I understand. But the situation is still — still delicate. We have to give trina time to want to be with us. I see so much of my sister’s spirit in her. You do, too, don’t you? Yeah, I do.

[ Laughs ] Oh, yeah. Just kills me that trina will never get a chance to know irene. I’m worried about trina. Well, she just needs a minute. And maybe we should kind of chill on this instant-family kumbaya stuff. Well, I’m with you on that. But she’s on summer break. But living with carly. How much more space could she possibly need? Well, she’s not choosing to live with carly over you. She’s already josslyn’s roommate, so she’s just extending the arrangement over the summer. We got to give her that. What you’re saying makes sense, but it’s — it’s still extremely difficult. I know. It’s gonna take some getting used to for everyone. Maybe you can explain that to aunt stella, except for I think my dad’s already taken care of that. Well, maybe that gives us a chance to talk about us. Curtis, where do we really stand?

[ Laughs ] Oops.

[ Laughs ] Well, this — this is better. How about we, um… let’s order some room service. You want a bloody mary or a mimosa? The only thing you’re drinking is water. You know alcohol isn’t gonna solve your problems. What do you know about my problems? Portia told me about the dna test. Mm. So you know a lot.

[ Sighs ] But you don’t know what it feels like. ‘Cause you didn’t have to wake up finding out that tj wasn’t your son. No. No, I didn’T. One minute I have a daughter, and the next minute I…don’T. And there’s no way for me to get her back.

If they can’t get his swelling in his brain to go down, they’re gonna have to operate. That can be a really dangerous surgery. I know. And olivia is taking it so hard. Well, I’m — I’m — I’m sure she was really happy to have you there. I-I don’t know about that. I think I made everything worse. What do you mean? Well, I said something that came out wrong, you know, how — how you would risk yourself to save anyone. And she interpreted that to mean that I didn’t want ned to get better and that I think he deserves what’s happening to him. And I don’T. That is not true. No, olivia’s just frantic with worry. She needed a place to vent. You were it, okay? You guys are way too close not to figure this out.

[ Sighs ] I don’t know if we will. I mean, come on. These insider trading charges are looming over everything. And if ned stays in the hospital, our one plan to get out from underneath these sec charges, I mean, that’s not gonna happen. You know that. I’m not counting anything out just yet. Did you find something? I did. On tracy. I made a promise to take care of you, honey. Brando was gone, and you needed help. I want to do right by my son. You have, gladys, and so much more. I would not be doing this if I did not feel ready to take control of my life again. I hope you’re right. Dr. Montague: Sasha gilmore? Yes. I am dr. Damon montague. I’m here to discuss terminating your guardianship. Nice to meet you, dr. Montague. This is my guardian and mother-in-law, gladys corbin. Nice to meet you, ms. Corbin. Will you follow me? Good, ’cause I have a whole list of questions for ya. I’m afraid this visit is only between me and sasha. But I’m — I’m her guardian. I have important insights. And there will be time for that later. Today is only about me getting to know sasha. Shall we? The doctors explained that they are gonna try to bring down the swelling in his brain with diuretics, but, um, if it doesn’t come down fast enough, he’s gonna need to go into surgery. Okay, but it sounds like they’re doing everything they can to avoid that, right? Yeah.

[ Cellphone rings ] Yeah. You okay? Yeah. I got to take this. Yeah, yeah. Of course. I’m sorry. It’s okay. Hey, do you want to — do you want to talk about . The only thing that matters right now is ned coming back to us. Honey, even if he doesn’t need surgery, I mean, we don’t know. There could be brain damage. Okay, hey, look, look. There — there could be — there could be so many — ma, stop. I know it’s hard right now in moments of uncertainty to kind of just let your mind go a little wild, but — but just try and stay in the here and now. Okay. Okay? Okay. I know. I know. I just — I was so upset with ned over this stupid sec thing. Stop. Stop. It’s just — look at me, mom. You already told him that you knew he wasn’t responsible for that anonymous tip, okay? Don’t — don’t do that to yourself, please. I’m just thanking god for that. I mean, it’s the only thing that’s making this even slightly tolerable. But I just — I just keep thinking of all the time that we lost. Time we might never get back.

[ Sobbing ] I’m sure it was hard to learn that trina isn’t your biological daughter. But she isn’t gone. You’re still the man who raised her. I’ve seen how much trina loves you. That dna test didn’t change any of that for her. Well…

[ Scoffs ] That’s what I told myself — nothing can break our bond. I think I actually convinced myself that I was prepared for the possibility that she might not be my daughter. But deep down, I was just holding on to the hope that the test would confirm that she was really my daughter. And when it was the opposite… I was crushed. Well, of course you were. And anyone would feel the same. Listen, it’s gonna take some time to process, but the shock will wear off eventually and you and trina will pick right back up where you left off. I’m keeping a brave face up for trina. I don’t want her to worry about me. I mean, she’s not just related to curtis. She’s also related to marshall, stella, tj. I mean…

[ Sighs ] Wow. If trina wants to get to know her real family, I don’t want to get in the way.

You are trina’s real family, too. They all know that. Why won’t you let yourself see it? We’re figuring things out. But we’re not. We’re dancing around the issue, and we’re not really talking about it. We found out that trina is your biological daughter and you missed out on her entire childhood. You must…resent me. I’m not gonna lie. I would have loved to have seen trina grow up. But what’s done is done. I-I’m not gonna let it hold me back, because I still have every moment from here on out to connect with my daughter. And if she’ll have me, I am here for it. I’ll never forgive myself for staying silent as long as I did. Well, you know what? At some point, you just got to forgive and move on. You know, a few weeks ago, I never would have imagined that we would all be here… yeah. …Together.

[ Chuckles ] Is there still hope for us to become a real family? There is.

Trina’s gonna get to know all about irene. You just have to give her some time. You sound so sure. That’s ’cause I am. You just have to stop pushing. All this — all this is new. But once the newness wears off, trina is gonna want to get to know this side of her family. Trust. I don’t know. That girl really loves marcus taggert. And we have to encourage all of that. I’ve gotten to know trina, and I believe that trina really wants to be a part of us, and that is when we’ll be able to tell her all about the family she didn’t have a chance to be with, the family that she has right now. I pray that you’re right. And I will wait patiently for that day to come. You? Patient? Oh. [ Scoffs ] Look, I have been overrun with boys in this family. And now that we finally have a girl, I’m not gonna push her away.

[ Laughs ] Hear, hear. Hey. Hey. Sorry about that. It’s okay, trina. You know, this is, um — this is all new for us, too, so we just got to take it one day at a time. How’s taggert? Well, I saw him last night. He’s doing well. That’s really good to hear. But excuse me for one minute. I want to go check on the cake for later. Okay.

[ Laughs ] If it’s okay with you… can you open this when it’s just us? Sure. Trina was just telling me about her, um, plans for summer, and, well, everything was normal, and, um…

[ Breathes deeply ]

[ Sighs ] …I started to, um, notice her features that I always thought came from me and, um… how she laughed… like my sister gia… and how she got so… serious when she was thinking like my mom did. And then I realized that, um… none of it was from me or my blood. Everything I thought that made up my daughter came from somebody else. Is it wrong to say that I’m nervous? Of course I want to be independent again, and I do believe that I’m ready. But actually being here, it’s — it’s daunting. Well, it’s my job to take off some of that pressure. I’m here to give my medical opinion to the court so the judge can decide if you’re really ready for this. I read your file. You experienced two traumatic losses and all while living in the public eye. It must have been incredibly difficult. It was definitely a struggle. How would you characterize your relationship with your guardian? I am grateful to gladys. When my husband, brando, died, I was shattered. To lose him so soon after losing liam… I couldn’t get out of bed. And gladys really stepped up for me. I mean, we may have butted heads a few times, but I always know that gladys will have my best interests at heart. Tell me more about your butting heads. I was confronting tracy about trying to convince ned to go to the sec in exchange for me keeping her secret. But that’s when ned came charging into the pool area. Then he tripped and he fell. Ohh! And then naturally, tracy tried to pin it on me, say that I pushed him, but the security cameras covered me. Thank god I insisted on putting those cameras around the pool.

[ Cellphone rings ] That’s what happens when I own the place. That’s right. Hold on. It’s diane. Hey, diane. Really? Wait, wait, wait. Drew is here with me now. Okay, the U.S. Attorney called diane. They want to meet diane and me in their office. Okay, so this is where they make the offer for me to turn against sonny in exchange for dropping the charges against me and drew, right? Probably. Alright. Yeah. Wait. I want you to tell them that I’m not gonna turn against someone I care about to get out of this, okay? Make sure you tell them that. Thank you.

[ Sighs ] That’s very brave. Brave? But I got to ask you. What? Now what? Sam: Hey. Dante: Hey. Everything okay? Yeah. Sorry. It was scout. But, uh, she’s fine. Um, are you okay? Do you need anything? Are you hungry? I’m good. Thank you, honey. Appreciate it. He’s gonna need surgery, isn’t he? No, I was just going over his latest test results. Ned actually turned the corner. He won’t need surgery. Oh! Oh, thank god! Oh! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

[ Sobbing ]

How’d it go? It was a good start. I’ll see you soon, sasha. Thank you. Bye. Excuse me. Damon? Gladys, I had no idea that sasha was your daughter-in-law. How surprising to run into you this way. Definitely unexpected. I mean, will you need to recuse yourself from sasha’s case since we know each other? Oh. Why invite questions? My private life has no bearing on my work. Hey, I haven’t seen you at the savoy in a while. Will you be rejoining ms. Wu’s game anytime soon? Sasha isn’t the only one trying to turn over a new leaf.

[ Clears throat ] I made a lot of mistakes in my life.

[ Voice breaking ] I chose… I chose my job over my marriage.

[ Sighs ] I compromised myself in the pursuit of justice, you know, but… …through all of that — through all of that, I always told myself I did one thing perfect. Just one thing perfect. My daughter. And… …to find out none of that was true… you’re wrong. You are what made trina who she is. No one can ever take that away from you. You see, that’s just it.

[ Sniffles ] They already have. I was thinking you never got to receive any of my homemade gifts as a kid. It’s perfect. Thank you. And maybe one day you’ll be able to put a picture of us in it. I think we could do something about that now.

[ Camera clicks ] Come on, zeke. We need to sort this out before you talk to your sister. Hi. Hey. Are you done with your meeting yet? Are you ready to join us at the pool for curtis’ party? I’m still waiting to hear back on some lunch plans. Okay, what’s that look about? Something wrong? I thought I just saw taggert. Like, we didn’t talk, but he didn’t seem well. I’m just glad that someone was there to help him. Now that the swelling is reduced, we’ll prepare to bring ned out of the twilight state. First, we’ll make sure his vitals are stable. Then we’ll bring him out of the anesthesia.

[ Crying ] And then — then he just wakes up and he’ll be okay? As with any head injury, there are a lot of unknowns. Okay. Once ned wakes up, we’ll be able to better assess the extent of his injuries. But we’re cautiously optimistic. Okay. Thanks, tj. Thank you. It’s always a pleasure delivering good news.

[ Both chuckle ] Hey, ma, see? I told you everything’s gonna be okay. Oh, thank god. It’s about time this family had some good news. Well, either ned recovers and gets the sec to drop the charges or we fight like hell in court. But we’d both be putting our freedom on the line and we don’t have to do that. What do you mean? We both don’t have to go down for this. Only one of us does.

Paulina, I thought you were still in the hospital. No, I was released upon my insistence that my blood pressure would improve as soon as I was outta that damn bed and helping with the search for my husband. Any news? Well, Paulina, we just. Started Combin through all this evidence Salem P just sent us. Oh.

Oh, that’s good. That’s good. Yeah, I know. If you want the case done right, you need black patch on the job. Damn. Abe is always singing your praises. What do we got?

Nothing. You got nothing.

What can I do? Well, listen, rave told us that the last person to see Abe in the hospital was a nurse named Whitley King.

That’s right. Uh, that’s right. And I, I talked to her. She said she. She didn’t know anything. Yeah. You feel sure about that? Believe me, I got everything out of Nurse Whitley that I could. She said she saw Abe in his room before he disappeared, and she had no idea what happened to him after that. I am honored and humbly accept this position as your mayor.

Woo.

What the hell? Just doesn’t make any sense.

I guess I, I won’t get any answers until Paulina comes home.

We now return to our regularly scheduled program, body and Soul. All right. Tell me, Cassandra, what is this so-called a, you have up your designer knockoff sleeve. I know the truth. Charlamagne,

what truth is that? That it was you. Who held re’s twin brother thrust against his will?

You know much as I think you’re perfect for me anyway. Sometimes I find myself wishing why I thought I was born into a nice, normal family. How’d you guess? Well, I wish for the same thing, but. Nice and normal. Doesn’t get you mansions all around the world servants. Billions of dollars in assets, all of which I do appreciate.

Mm, so I’ve noticed too bad a constant war with your siblings comes as part of the package. You know what? I don’t want it to be part of the package. So to hell with all the demer shenanigans, the power struggles, the backstabbing me. Overall Demara insanity. I’m done worrying about what my brothers and sisters are planning.

Are you really? Yeah. Mm-hmm. Well, for tonight. Okay. Well, tonight is a start. Okay, so how would you like to pass the time then? How would I, I, I would like to pass the time by focusing on my beautiful fiance. I like the sound of that.

Lee do when I didn’t hear you come in. Well, I did not expect you to be back so soon, so. How was your visit with father? Oh yeah. You know, it was, um, fine. Fine, huh? Not demoralizing and or infuriating. He sends his love. Mm. And also unsolicited advice about how I need to pick Johnny Demara over Dr. Tri then start settling down and producing grandchildren.

Am I right? He may have said those things. I wasn’t religious thing. Which is always an excellent way to go when it comes. Tohin a k a dear old dad, but enough about him. What was this plan you were talking about? Plan. I heard you on the phone when I walked in. You were asking about some next steps and a big plan, so why don’t you tell me what you’re up to, bro.

Plot in your demise. That’s ridiculous. Who are you talking to? That’s not what you think. Oh, it’s exactly what I think, and I should call the police right now. And tell them what, that you’re violating the terms of your release that you’re intending to commit frat side and should be back behind bars where you belong.

But as you know us to mirrors, we prefer to settle our own scores. And what does that mean? It means, dear sister, that you have greatly underestimated me. If you think that I’m going to be an easy target, you are sadly mistaken, which is why you are finished here, finished pack up your things. I want you out of this house immediately.

You can’t kick me out of this house. Oh, I just did. I have as much right to be here as any of Stefano’s children. Wrong. You have no rights at all where this house is concerned. That’s a lie. It belonged to father. It used to belong to father, but since he’s passing it has changed hands many times. Stefan was in possession of the D before his untimely death, upon which his widow Gabby inherited it.

But once I returned to Salem, I convinced the bank to transfer the mortgage back into my name, meaning I decide whose eyes under this roof. No, that can’t be true. Oh, it’s true. And it’s happening. So instead of darkening my doorstep, why don’t you go and stay with whomever you were conspiring with on that phone,

Molly? Out with it. Let’s hear about this plan of yours. It’s none of your concern, Jing Ween and just because we live together doesn’t give you an all access pass to my personal life. Oh, so it’s a personal plan, not business. Well, now I’m really curious. Just let it go Jinen. Why should I? We both know, I’m gonna find out eventually, especially since I’m just gonna keep hounding you and hounding you, and generally making your life miserable until one day you finally can’t take more, okay?

Okay. Okay, fine. I’ll tell you. Yeah, I knew I’d get you to crack. So what is it? What’s this big plan?

I’ve hired a matchmaker.

No worries. You’re so mad. I’m yours.

Yeah, Roman. Thanks for the update. Keep us posted. What did he say? Well, he is retracing the officer steps thinking maybe they missed something. But so far no luck. But don’t worry, he’s still working on it. Oh, well it does make me feel better knowing that all the Abe’s best friends are on the case. Listen, it’s just a matter of time before we catch a break.

Oh, I just, I just hate waiting. Ah, I feel so helpless. That is not something that I’m used to. We kinda know better than most what it’s like to worry about someone that you love. Of course you do. If anybody knows what I’m dealing with, this, uh, you two and Roman, you, you thought that your wives are lost to you forever.

Yeah, but they weren’t. And Abe isn’t lost to you either. Paulina, your husband’s coming home to you.

When is she going to be back? Need answers answer me, Charlamagne. How long did you really think that you could keep it a secret? Keep What a secret. Oh, don’t play dumb. I know that you held thrust against his will while the entire town was searching for him. Admit it.

Well answer her Charlamagne.

Hey Bob, did you miss me? Helena? Oh, look at you. I see you watching my show. I knew you were gonna get into Body and Soul.

Oh, you didn’t have to stop it on my account. It’s just getting to the good part. Besides, I have to put away all the groceries before the frozen fish sticks start to haw. Those fish just can wait. You and I need to talk. Oh, that sounds serious. What’s this about? Go for starters. Why the hell didn’t you tell me that?

I was mayor of this town. Mayor, yes. Mayor of Salem. Now, what the hell else are you lying to me about?

I know I’m not the first person dealing with a missing loved one. Oh, dear God. Not knowing where Abraham is, seeing him in my mind’s eyes suffering, terrified, wondering why the hell he hasn’t been rescued yet, Paul? Oh, I guarantee you that wherever it is, he knows for a fact and you, all of us, we’re searching high and low for him, but we’re not gonna give up.

He knows that. And don’t forget, Abe is a very recognizable figure in this town. If he’s lost here in Salem, someone’s gonna recognize him and run him right home, but no one has. So what, what, what are you saying? I mean, if Colin Bedford doesn’t have Abe stashed away somewhere, he hasn’t wandered off, where else could he be?

You got your memory back. No. I was watching your soap opera when they cut in to a press conference of me making an acceptance speech for Salem’s mail race. Press conference now. What the hell’s going on here? You told me that I owned an ice cream shop. You did own an ice cream shop baby, that the, these tapes are 15 years old and you admit I was elected mayor.

Well, yes. Yes. But your time in office was short-lived, and after that you soured on politics and then you opened your ice cream shop, which was very well run, by the way. Well, why was I mayor for only a short time? Well, you know, things happen. What happened? Oh, aim Now answer me, dammit. What happened? Well see.

Once you were elected, your political rival had you impeached for no good reason what it was. My rival, a horrible, horrible man named EJ de.

You don’t have to do this, ej I I. You have it all wrong. I wasn’t trying to hurt you. I’m done with this discussion. I can have Harold pack your bags and put them in the car. I can have them simply thrown on the street. You decide I am not leaving this house. Oh, you won’t go quietly. Fine. I’ll just have security remove you.

Life force. You don’t want to do that. Oh, just when I think you’ve joined us in the modern age. What a matchmaker. Really, what do you think I should do? Uh, have you ever heard of dating apps? They work for everyone else living in this century. I’m sure they do, but the idea of finding love through swiping doesn’t really appeal to me.

Mm. So you decided to hire an old, busy body to find you a girlfriend, someone who understands me and what I’m looking for. Yes. Father talked to you into this, didn’t he? I made my own decisions. Jing, when. And why wait, considering what came in the mail today?

Your final divorce papers? My marriage to Gabby is officially dead. Thanks to the man who killed it.

Oh my God.

I think I just saw my life flash before my eyes. So French, call it the little dad. Oh, not a bad way to go. No. Come here. I just can’t believe we’re here again in this house, in this bed. I’m sorry. It’s not the mess. We, we will reclaim that soon enough. I don’t care what bedroom we’re in, as long as we’re together, out in the open and happy.

Oh, very happy. Very, very happy. And soon we’re gonna be husband and.

What is it? What’s wrong? I dunno. I dunno. I guess I just afraid to let myself be this happy again. The last time we were married, you were taken from me. Happy. Don’t think about that. It’s all in the past. I can’t. I just let it go. I. I cannot not. How do I just not remember that? I, I thought you’d been killed.

I thought that I’d lost you forever. I thought my own life was over. I’m sorry. That like I

we’re here together.

Whatcha thinking?

Stephan, how do you know that something awful isn’t waiting for us around the corner again, because it’s not Gabby, we were given a second chance and we would be fools not to take it. History’s not gonna repeat itself. I promise. I promise when everything I hold dear, nothing or no one will take me away from you again.

Let go of my hand, not until you listen to me. All right, then gimme one good reason why I shouldn’t have you thrown out on your lying murderous as with the rest of the rubbish. Because it is not you. I’m planning to kill you, idiot. It’s.

Hm, A few more of those little deaths. I might experience the real thing. Would you stop? What? Don’t joke like that. I’m serious. We don’t know how strong Jake’s heart is. Don’t stop it. Don’t say that too dark. Isn’t that what you love about me? One of the things, one of the many things. Oh, I love you too. You ready for round three?

All ready? I was gone. For too many years and we have some serious making up to do. Okay, well, how about we move this bucket to the shower, then I like where your head’s at. Tell you what. Why don’t you go into the bathroom, make sure the water’s nice and hot. All cut down in the kitchen, have cook. Fix us a nice romantic dinner on the terrace while we’re done.

Girl could get used to that. That’s the plan. All right. Go.

I’m sorry, Lee. It’s not like I wasn’t expecting it. Still, I’m staying hitting black and white. Can’t be easy. You okay? I live. You win some, you lose some, right?

You know what I gotta say? This feels like progress. My divorce. You accepting your divorce? I mean, you aren’t tearing the room apart. You aren’t blotting some desperate scheme to try and hold onto. Gabby, I’m really proud of you, Lee, for finally moving on.

You want to kill Stephan? What has that brother ever done to you? Well, it’s nothing personal, really nothing personal. Said the Cobra as has swallowed the gerbil. Let’s just say, I wanna shake the table a bit. What the hell does that mean? It means that with Stephan outta the way, Gabby will be vulnerable, freeing up power in the family and the company.

So this is about you wanting more of father’s fortune. You are reel that heartless. You would do that to your own flesh and blood. Spare me the melodramatic soliloquy on Demira family loyalty.

Father wasn’t above eating his young, metaphorically speaking. At least I hope. If you think father would want Stefan’s own sister to kill him, then you didn’t know him at all. And you did Elvis. You think his legacy belongs to you? The little boy who he sied with a buck tooth IMB via Turkey baster. Don’t you dare speak about my mother again.

Oh, get over yourself, junior. Your self righteousness is beginning to bore me. E. Besides what do you care what happens to Stephan? Because he’s my brother and he’s a decent human being. Oh, come on. You two have been fighting for months now. You can’t think he’s that decent. Look the way I see it, Stephan’s untimely death could be good for both of us.

It would help us both. Think about it, EJ with one less Tamara in the picture. There’d be a much bigger slice of lip pie for you and I, right? Father,

we believe that someone other than Bedford is holding you Captain. But who and why? Well, we don’t know yet, but Abe is a very powerful and influential man with an equally formidable wife with a serious bank account. Well, but if this is about money, why haven’t they contacted me for ransom? Because we’re not sure.

It’s money they’re after. Well then what the hell are you sure about? I’m, because it feels like you’re guessing and my husband’s life is at stake. Oh, whoa, Paul. It’s okay. It’s okay. I’m, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. It’s okay. It’s okay. I didn’t, I didn’t mean to snap at you. It’s just, I, I’m so frustrated. More than frustrated.

I’m losing my mind here. Listen, we understand. Believe me. I know. I know, I know. I know. You’re doing your best. And I know you love Abe too. Well, that’s a fact. We do. It’s just, you know, so hard I going to the worst case scenario. I mean, oh, we know baby. He could, could be. He could be. No, no, no, no, no, no. Okay.

No, no. Okay. I’m not going there. We’ll not go there. I will not. Okay, good. And we won’t either. Now listen, Abe is one of the toughest dudes I know. He is a survivor and wherever he is, he’s gonna survive this too.

You keep calling me a good and honest man. Oh, you are baby. You are a honest day. That’s what they always call you. You know, my memory may not be much, but I know that. Honest. A is someone else. Okay. But you are a great man too. And why was I impeached? Uh, that’s not really something that you usually like to talk about.

I want to talk about it now. Okay. Okay. Well, it was all sparked by your rival EJ Demara. When he, uh, accused you of cheating, and somehow he was able to prove it, so I did cheat. Oh, it, it isn’t that simple. You wanted to win because you wanted to serve the great citizens of Salem. You knew that you were the best man for the job.

I cheated to when? No, no. It was your shady campaign manager who put you up to it? Jennifer Horton. Jennifer Horton. Does that name sound familiar? Vaguely. I, uh, who is she? To me? Just nobody. Nobody that you need to know. Just not a good person. And this, uh, well, my opponent, uh, ej, this character ej, uh, what happened to him?

Well, uh, ej uh, unfortunately is, uh, still the mayor of Salem. In fact, for many, many years, he’s the most popular mayor that we’ve ever had. Even more so than Doug Williams.

This doesn’t feel right. Just doesn’t feel right. Well, why do you say that, baby? Well, I mean every, everything you. You’re telling me about my life. Every bone in my, my body

is telling me it’s different.

Are you okay? Pooky? I, I hate to see you so upset. It just, It’s just jarring seeing yourself on video like that. It, it’s, it, it, I ever try my hand in politics again. I mean, after, after the impeachment. I’m afraid not. It was all so painful that you want to leave that messy world behind you and stick to what you know best.

Ice cream making people happy, right? Oh, you know, maybe losing your memory is not such a bad thing. How do you figure? Well, most people are bogged down by memories of the past and the baggage that they have to carry of all the mistakes that they’ve made and all the pain that they’ve endured. But, but not you, you, you have a clean slate.

You get to start fresh. You have a live in the present. Right, right. Memories. The memories are what we are. Paulina. I mean, I, I don’t even know what kind of man I am without a memory. I. Do you understand? You know what, it is getting late. I better start that dinner. You must be so hungry. Yes, I, I got fish sticks coming up hot soon.

I really am proud of you, Lee. So you keep saying no. Hey, bear is repeating. I mean, when I think of all the crazy things you did to try and keep Gabby around, having stuff brainwashed, uh, using your Demer shares to try and bribe her into staying with you. Okay. Do we have to go down the whole painful list?

Okay. I’m just saying I hated seeing you like that. So obsessed. I wouldn’t say I was obsessed. You wouldn’t really, I mean, Again, you brainwashed a dude. I loved Gabby, and I believe that when you love someone, you fight for them, right? But there’s fighting and then there’s lying, kidnapping, blackmail. Let’s be real here, Lee.

Okay, you, you morphed into this Lovesick maniac that I didn’t even recognize. You lost all perspective where Gabby and Stephan were concerned. You’re exaggerating. Am I? Lee, you are out of control. Hey. It really worried me, which is why I am so relieved that you’re finally over Gabby and you put all of this behind you before you could do something that you couldn’t take back.

So did you make any special requests for our special dinner tonight? Mm, I made all sorts of special requests, but. I’m not telling you what they were. Oh, come on. I know it’s a surprise. You’re such a tease. I know I am. But you love it. I promise. You’re not gonna be disappointed, but you have to wait till we get downstairs to see for yourself.

Take a moment. Ej. Imagine the possibilities. Chad is no longer interested in Demara Enterprises. Tony semi-retired. Happy to globe trot around the world with that vapid wife of his, with Stephan out of the way. Father’s legacy is ours for the taking. Aren’t you forgetting someone? Am I Kristen, you are co-conspirator.

That was her on the phone earlier. Wasn’t it enough with the 20 questions? Are you gonna keep my plans for Stephan to yourself or not? Sorry Megan. I may have done some despicable things in my life, but I’m not going to conspire to kill my own brother. Where are you going to warn Gabby and Stephan?

Oh, look at what you’ve made me do.

I’ve taken up enough of your time. I should leave so you two can concentrate on finding my husband, Paul. Listen, we know how brutal it can be to wait these things out. And you know what? You’re welcome to stay in our guest room if you like. No, no, no, no. Chanel will be waiting for me at home. Make me a promise.

Oh yeah. What’s that? That you will not rest until you find my Abraham. We’re gonna bring him home, Paulina, whatever it takes. And that’s a fact.

Oh, you’ve gotten mad Cassandra. I didn’t have to hold thrust against his will. He was with me because he wanted to be with me the hell he was. How else would have gotten him to stay away from his family for so long? Oh, I’ll tell you how. Because just like his brother, Rhett, he had amnesia.

Well thrust and red hat amnesia. What are the odds of that? You know what? That’s enough of the stories for one date. Why don’t we play a fun game of checkers?

Okay, that is enough. Talk about Gabby for one night. Tell me about this matchmaker. What do you wanna know? Everything. When is she gonna start hooking you up with Salem’s most eligible woman? Well, I just signed up today and like you heard when you walked in, we still need to iron out a plan of action.

Right. And, uh, we know for sure that this matchmaker is solid. How did you find her or him? I just searched matchmakers and the one I chose was well. She has tons of great reviews as in the business, apparently. So then tell me what was said about her and the reviews. I mean, Hmm, let’s see. Well, the one that stood out to me was when it comes to giving her clients their heart’s desire, she’s known for having quite the killer instinct.

Oh, thank God for these secret passageway. Hey, ej, can’t very well carry you through the front door, so what am I gonna find out? What’s being served? Cook said he’s going to. On the Paris when I heard somebody in there,

it’s weird. I, I could have sworn I heard a voice. Maybe it was you now who, what the hell happened here? You know, these cleaning ladies need to be a little more careful. Spaces worth of fortune. Well, I’m sure EJ has it. Heavily insured. Probably gonna end up making a fortune. Remind me to ask him about that.

Are we gonna stay here crying about broken pottery? Are we gonna go outside to check out that delicious dinner? You plan after you?

[ Relaxing music ]

Thomas: I love being in italy with you, hope. Dreams really do come true.

Liam: You look beautiful.

Hope: Oh, hey. Uh, thanks.

Liam: Are you, uh– you all packed?

Hope: Yeah, pretty much. Are the kids ready?

Liam: Yeah. Um, they kindly request a souvenir from rome, each.

Hope: Hmm. I’ll make sure to bring back something really special for them.

Liam: Yeah. We’re gonna miss you.

Hope: I’m gonna miss you too. So, that means you better have your phone on, because I will be calling you constantly.

Liam: I’m excited for you. This– this fashion preview, I think it’s gonna go great. I think– I think the press is gonna love every single dress. I really do.

Hope: Fingers crossed.

Liam: Yeah. I mean, come on, like, there was no question that the business part of it is just gonna– it’s gonna be amazing. It’s– it’s just, you know, that other noise, that’s–

Hope: Liam.

Liam: You know, I don’t– what do you want me to say? That I’m– I’m not still concerned about thomas going to rome with you?

Ridge: There you go. That voice isn’t getting any better, is it?

Taylor: No, it still sounds like I swallowed a goose.

Ridge: I like you quiet. It’s nice.

Taylor: Okay, do you have your passport?

Ridge: Yeah.

Taylor: Huh?

Ridge: Yeah.

Taylor: Really?

Ridge: Yes. I do.

Taylor: [ Laughing ] Yes. Okay, good. Oh, my gosh, I’m gonna miss you guys so much. Me, of course, I would love to be with you in rome, but I– I get that this is a business trip.

Thomas: Ah, kind of stinks that you’re not going. Um, I’m gonna miss you, and I know you’re gonna be rooting me on.

Taylor: I am.

Thomas: Oh, oh, no. Oh, no.

[ Thomas laughs ]

Taylor: You know who– who isn’t gonna miss me on this trip? Brooke.

Katie: So, you called out taylor for breaking your girl code, and she’s trying to flip it around on you?

Donna: But she– she deliberately tried to set you up with deacon and hollis.

Katie: So that you’d be distracted when she was making moves on a ridge.

Donna: But that– that’s just so messed up.

Brooke: Well, needless to say our pact is broken. But I did get some clarity from it. I realized that deep in my heart, ridge is the love of my life.

Donna: Well, we could have told you that.

Brooke: Yes, yes.

Katie: But if that’s really what you want, then that’s what will happen. You and ridge will be together.

Donna: And maybe, even sooner than you think.

[ Donna laughing ]

Brooke: Oh, okay. [ Laughs ]

Donna: So, where do you and ridge stand as of now?

Brooke: Well, he’s– he’s being cautious. You know, he’s being protective of himself and his heart, since taylor and i did banish him.

Katie: That break had to happen. You had to end that cycle. You, taylor, you, taylor.

Donna: Yeah, it wasn’t healthy or fair to either one of you.

Brooke: I know that, and ridge knows that. He totally understands. It’s just he’s questioning things. I mean, he’s not even calling me his logan. It’s almost like he’s guarding me and him against any future pain or heartache.

Ridge: You know, brooke has been here almost as long as I am.

Taylor: Yes. I know. I know. She’s an important part of forrester creations. Yeah, she deserves to be going. But you know, the– the timing isn’t in my favor, really. But you know, this isn’t about me. This is about you and all the success that you and hope are gonna have in rome.

Thomas: Well, the line’s solid. And hope and i are going to kill it. And I think these new designs are going to surprise everybody.

Hope: Liam, you know, thomas is my lead designer.

Liam: No, I know, but it’s your baby. It’s your name on the billboard. The whole– this whole trip is about you.

Hope: Liam, if– if you’re this concerned, I mean– I don’t know, maybe– maybe, you should just come.

Liam: What?

Hope: Come with us to rome. You know that feeling of having to rewash I’m not buying that.

Donna: You must feel so disappointed.

Brooke: Taylor claimed she meant no harm.

Katie: Oh, please. I’m not buying that. I mean, it’s obvious that she was trying to set you up with somebody other than ridge.

Brooke: Yeah, she set me up all right.

Donna: I’m sorry, brooke. But you know what? At least now you know who taylor really is.

Katie: Yeah, and now, you can be together with ridge. There’s nothing holding you back.

Brooke: Yeah. It’s just, uh– it just feels different. Ridge has put up a wall between us, and uh, he’s deliberately not calling me logan. He says, “brooke.” Says, “hi, brooke.” “How are you, brooke?”

Katie: Oh, my god. Stop that.

Donna: Stop that.

Brooke: Brooke, brooke.

Brooke: I know. It’s weird.

Donna: It sounds so weird coming from ridge.

Brooke: It is, I’ve never heard him say that.

Katie: It sounds like you think he’s given up on love. Is that true?

Brooke: He did say that he has given up on destiny. That he doesn’t believe in that anymore.

Katie: Well, maybe, this trip will change things. Rome is a magical city.

Carter: You’re right about that. But it won’t be magic for me without you by my side.

[ Brooke laughing ] So cute.

Steffy: All right, katie arranged for us to bring some vip swag.

Ridge: Great. I’ll make sure that ends up in the car. I got to pick up my suit from alterations. I’ll be right back.

Taylor: Yes, you do.

Steffy: Hey, mom?

Taylor: Yes.

Steffy: This is it.

Taylor: I know. I know. Oh, my gosh, I love you.

Steffy: I love you. I’ll call you when we land.

Taylor: Yes, please do.

Steffy: I love you.

Taylor: I love you too. You’re gonna kill this.

Steffy: Yes, we are.

Thomas: See you over there.

Taylor: Bye! And you. Oh, my gosh, you are– you are getting it done.

Thomas: I’m getting it done.

Taylor: You are. And– and I think this trip is going to be just the first in– in many successes in your career.

Thomas: This isn’t just about me. You’re a part of this too. I mean, you were woven into every fiber of everything I create.

Taylor: Oh, honey. You know, you are doing so much work. So much hard work and… it’s a lifetime journey to commit to healing the way that you are, but you’re doing it.

Thomas: I know. I am. And I promise that I’m gonna keep working just as hard as I have, right? And um, like this trip, obviously, nothing is gonna happen with hope and me.

Taylor: I am not worried about you, okay? That’s all I’m gonna say.

Thomas: Okay.

Taylor: But I’ll also say that… I am so proud of you. And I’m really looking forward to everything, and all of the good news and all the amazing stuff that you’re gonna tell me.

Thomas: Thanks, mom.

Liam: You want me to come to rome?

Hope: You’re my husband. Is it really that much of a mystery why I would want you there? I mean, do I really need a reason?

Liam: You don’t have to do this. I– I don’t need to– I don’t want to be your chaperone.

Hope: No, that’s not what I meant.

Liam: Hope I– I want you to enjoy yourself over there. I want you to bask in the– in the applause and accolades, and I’m gonna be cheering for you from here in spirit, but you don’t need thomas there and it’s not too late. There are so many ways that you could pull him from this trip.

Carter: I had to get one

Carter: I had to get one last look before I left.

Katie: Are you excited?

Carter: About the trip? Yes. About leaving you? No.

Katie: Well, trust me. If it were up to me, I would take you back to my place and I would lock you in the bedroom and I wouldn’t let you go.

Carter: That is not a terrible idea.

[ Both chuckling ]

Katie: I might get in trouble with some of the higher ups.

Carter: I don’t know. I think I know a guy.

[ Katie chuckling ]

Katie: Seriously. I’m so excited that you’re getting this opportunity, but… I’ll miss you.

Carter: I’m gonna miss you too.

[ Both chuckling ]

Donna: Toss a coin in the trevi fountain from me, okay?

Brooke: Oh, I will. I’ll make an extra wish for you.

Donna: Yeah? And have a fun trip. You know, I have a feeling that rome is gonna change everything for ridge. And his logan.

Brooke: [ Laughing ] Okay.

Donna: You’ll see.

[ Brooke laughing ]

Brooke: Uh, all right.

Donna: Arrivederci!

Brooke: Ciao!

Donna: Ciao, bella!

Taylor: Hey.

Ridge: Oh, hey. Hey. Hi. Nice to have a moment alone.

Taylor: Yeah. You know, I am so– so happy for thomas.

Ridge: I am too.

Taylor: Look what he is doing, what he’s done, the changes he’s made.

Ridge: You’re responsible for most of that.

Taylor: I can’t take all the credit, but thank you. Yeah, I don’t– I don’t want you to lose faith in me. And I know it’s tricky right now with all the– the brooke drama.

Ridge: Let’s not get into that again.

Taylor: Okay, first of all, we haven’t gotten into it at all. We haven’t talked about it. But I will say this, I– I pulled a fast one on you the other day and I– I– I wasn’t trying to–

Ridge: I know you weren’T. And look, I’m– brooke will come around, eventually.

Taylor: I don’t think that she will ever own her part of this whole situation. She’s going to continue a smear campaign on me while you’re in italy. I know– I know that. But just remember the source. That’s all I ask.

[ Taylor chuckling ] Because– oh, damn it, I love you. And I will always love you. I mean, if you weren’t so devastatingly handsome–

Ridge: I know, it’s a lot.

Taylor: Incredibly charming. All of this.

Ridge: How does he do it?

Taylor: I don’t know. And it makes you a– a hard man to shake, ridge forrester.

Hope: I can’t force thomas not to go.

Liam: Literally, everyone would understand, given the history.

Hope: Not in the 11th hour now. Not when the– the schedule has been set. The invites have gone out, the press release. I mean, this– it– plans have been solidified.

Liam: It wasn’t the 11th hour the first time I asked, and plans can absolutely change. It’s not the end of the world if thomas doesn’t go. What matters is that all these people are there to see you because it’s your line, right? You’re the face of it. You– you understand that, don’t you?

Hope: I do.

Liam: Okay, so, please, please? Because you’re– you’re all staying together, and I’m telling you, hope, it just… doesn’t feel right.

[ Relaxing music ]

Hope: I– I have to get to the airport. I’m holding people up.

Liam: I know. I know. But please, can we just like, wrap this up before that? Because the jet will wait for you.

Hope: Liam, I know what you’re asking me to do and I’m telling you I can’T. I can’t tell thomas not to come.

Liam: That’s not true. It is not absolutely necessary for thomas to physically be there in person.

Hope: I am already stressed enough as it is.

Hope: Having to leave you, having to leave the kids…

Liam: I know, I know and I’m sorry.

Hope: …Trying to make everybody happy.

Liam: I get it. I’m sorry about that.

Hope: If you don’t want to come, then you’re going to have to find a way to accept the fact that thomas is going to be there. He’s the lead designer of the hope for the future line. That is it. It is just a business trip. Nothing more.

Hope: Okay, um… really didn’t want to leave like this. I love you and um, I do have to get to the airport. So, I’m just gonna go. Um, and yeah, I’ll see you when I get back.

Brooke: Away we go.

Pilot: Welcome aboard.

Ridge: Well, we got half a group anyway, right?

Steffy: We’re just waiting on hope and thomas.

Pilot: Not a problem. Not a problem.

Carter: Thank you.

Brooke: This is exciting, isn’t it?

Carter: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: Tomorrow, we’re gonna wake up in glorious rome.

[ Carter chuckling ]

Carter: We have an amazing local crew in place. You know, the catering, the– the permits, all set, you name it, it’s done.

Ridge: I’m so glad you were born, carter.

Steffy: Most organized man on the planet.

Ridge: Yes, he is. And on time, unlike your brother.

Brooke: I just uh, texted hope and she hasn’t gotten back to me.

Steffy: I wonder where hope and thomas could be.

Liam: Hey! What the hell is going on here?

Steffy: I’m sorry, liam. I don’t want to hurt you, but I think your wife has feelings for thomas.

Hope: Liam, I don’t want to hurt you, but thomas is my lead designer. He is my partner and I can’t imagine being in rome without him.

Liam: Please. Because you’re– you’re all staying together, and I’m telling you, hope, it just doesn’t feel right.

Carter: There he is.

Ridge: The man of the hour.

Steffy: Nice of you to join us.

Thomas: I have no idea how you didn’t get stuck in that traffic.

Ridge: All right, can’t leave without hope, anyway.

Brooke: Well, she’s coming. She texted me a moment ago, said she should be here any minute.

Steffy: Can’t imagine hope’s goodbye to liam was nice and easy.

Carter: Oh, and I have another interview for you with an outlet from milan.

Brooke: Grazie mille.

Carter: Nessun problema.

[ Ridge laughing ]

Ridge: Look at the two of you, ready for italy.

Brooke: Yeah. Well, the question is, is italy ready for us?

Carter: Hmm.

Ridge: We’ll see.

[ All chuckling ]

Thomas: Does anybody want a water?

Ridge: I’ll take one.

Hope: Sorry. Sorry, I’m late, I got held up.

Brooke: Don’t apologize, honey. The important thing is, that you made it here safely.

Pilot: Okay, everyone is here, and accounted for. Everybody, please, buckle up your seat belts, we will be taking off shortly.

Hope: Thank you.

Brooke: Sweetheart, are you okay?

Hope: Yeah, I’m fine.

Brooke: Yeah? I mean, everything’s okay with you and liam?

Hope: Well, everything is under control, okay?

Brooke: Okay.

Recap written by Terry

Although there’s no official police statement that Faith has been kidnapped, a hysterical and horrified Sharon knows it in her heart. Chance, who is guarding Sharon, tries to give her some hope, but a colleague calls Chance with the news that Faith was not on the flight back to college. Sharon is completely devastated at the thought of Cameron having Faith and is unaware that Nick’s been arrested.

Nikki and Victor, who also don’t know about the kidnapping, talk about how to deal with Cameron, and also how to deal with Nate. Victoria’s idea of Nick taking a leave of absence because he’s in jail is unacceptable to Victor and Nikki. Nikki asks Victoria if she would give Nick’s job to Nate. Victoria says that if Nick left the company permanently, she would consider giving the Chief Operating Office job to Nate. Later, Victor witnesses Nate and Audra scheming about how Nick’s leave of absence could be an opening that Nate could take advantage of; Audra could then take Nate’s job at Newman media, which is her current goal. Nate and Audra raise their glasses to the plan while Victor looks on.

A furious Nick regretfully acknowledges to Micheal that the police arresting him is Cameron’s plan to get him out of the way so that Cameron can get to Sharon. Micheal says that Cameron anticipated Nick’s fury and used it against him when he stormed into Cameron’s hotel room and punched the wall. Michael reassures an imprisoned Nick that Sharon and Faith are safe, with so many people protecting them.

Phyllis contacts Summer and adamantly forbids her from doing anything else to get Phyllis back to town. She also urges Daniel to protect Summer. Summer informs Michael about her plan to get Phyllis back to town. Michael vehemently disagrees, but later acknowledges that the EMT could be a critical part of the puzzle. He thinks it’s a long shot to find him and get him to co-operate but that Summer should not act on her own. Summer appeals to Grandpa Victor to help her. Victor is hesitant, but agrees after Summer puts on her best pleading puppy dog eyes that he can’t refuse.

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Li Shin returns home from Hong Kong and goes over how all he comes back to are bills and his divorce papers. Megan then shows up at his door. Li acknowledges her as the person who stole that crystal from him. Megan argues that it was never really his to begin with. Li tries to shut the door on her but Megan says not so fast as they have important business to discuss.

Gabi joins Stefan in the living room of the DiMera Mansion. Gabi announces that her divorce from Li is final so she is a single woman. Stefan says not for long as he hears wedding bells in their future. Gabi can’t wait to be his wife again as they kiss. Gabi comments on them as Salem’s power couple. EJ walks in and says he wouldn’t be so sure about that.

Eric runs in to Nicole in the town square. Eric asks if there’s any news on Abe. Nicole says no as Sloan’s brother continues to deny any involvement in Abe’s disappearance. Eric points out that Sloan believes him and so does Rafe. Nicole states that she will keep praying that they find Abe soon. Nicole starts to walk away but Eric stops her and asks how everything is going. Nicole assumes he’s talking about the pregnancy. Nicole mentions that her and EJ have a meeting tomorrow with a specialist for high risk pregnancies. Eric hopes everything works out.

At the Spectator, Chloe complains that Leo doesn’t know what he’s talking about because Xander and Sarah are over for good and there is no reason to think that would change.

Bonnie tells herself that she can keep Sarah’s pregnancy a secret easily but she’ll just have to stay away from Xander. Xander then enters the room and asks if he heard his name, startling Bonnie. Bonnie claims that she just heard him coming and asks him to stay the hell away from her. Xander tells her not to freak out, then says he knows exactly why this is happening. Bonnie questions who told him. Xander guesses she’s still afraid of him because he held her captive a killer clown. Bonnie claims that is why she freaked out when she saw him. Xander guesses she probably had flashbacks. Bonnie says that is so far in the past and she’s forgiven him, understanding that he was only driven to do that because he wanted to provide for Sarah. Bonnie talks about Xander and Sarah being divorced and that Sarah is gone, never coming back, and they are never getting back together. Bonnie claims she meant well which Xander questions her doing by reminding him how much Sarah hates him. Bonnie argues that Sarah doesn’t hate him, then claims she wouldn’t know, but encourages that it could change. Bonnie tries to leave but Xander stops her and questions why she ran away when he walked in if she’s not afraid of him anymore and has forgiven him.

Nicole tells Eric that there are no guarantees but a lot has changed since she had Holly including the treatment of high risk pregnancies like hers. Eric hopes she gets really good news tomorrow because after everything she’s been through, she really deserves this. Nicole is unsure but is happy that she gets to be a mom again. Nicole tells Eric to take care of himself and walks away.

EJ pours a drink while Stefan comments on it being early and questions him not heading to the office. EJ says he’d like to unwind first after an intense morning. EJ talks about doing a lot of research to find a specialist for Nicole and he’s flying one in tomorrow, who will hopefully tell them that Nicole will be able to carry their child to term. Stefan and Gabi say they hope it works out for them. Gabi then remarks that by the time the baby is born, EJ should be free to be a stay at home dad. EJ argues that his days will be anything but free because he will be making sure that his son or daughter inherits the legacy of his father’s company, so he will be doing everything possible to stop them from leaving it in ruins. Stefan argues that he doesn’t have the votes to stop them. EJ points out that they don’t have the votes to stop him. Gabi points out that they have each other and Kristen. EJ knows they believe they have secured Kristen’s support, but she tends to turn on a dime. EJ adds that he’s secured their other sister’s support, so while they may have Kristen for the time being, he has Megan’s.

Megan assumes that Li still has eyes and ears at DiMera, which he confirms. Megan acknowledges that he must be aware of the power struggle brewing then. Li calls it hard to miss and assumes she is here representing EJ’s interest. Megan responds that she is here representing her own interest. Megan comments that EJ is a sweet boy but when it comes to being ruthless and cut throat, he doesn’t bat in her league. Li reminds her that he’s out at DiMera. Megan notes that he still has a vote. Li informs her that he promised it to Gabi. Megan points out that Gabi has pledged her love to another man, so she questions why Li would allow someone who used and betrayed him to keep him from getting what he wants.

Nicole goes to see Chloe at the Spectator. Chloe hugs her and says she’s missed her as they’ve barely spoken since she left Basic Black. Nicole blames herself for not being better at keeping in touch. Chloe asks how she is and how it’s been teaming up with EJ. Nicole responds that life in general has been pretty eventful. Chloe asks what’s been going on with her. Nicole reveals that she’s pregnant which shocks Chloe.

Eric sits alone in the Brady Pub with a drink until Sloan joins him. Eric asks about her meeting with Melinda. Sloan informs him that it was a disaster as Colin is refusing to plead guilty and Melinda is out for blood. Sloan adds that Colin is facing a lot of time in prison because of what he did to Paulina on the rooftop and there’s nothing she can really do to help him. Sloan knows what Colin did was unspeakable to Abe, Paulina, and Chanel, but he’s still her family and the only family she has left. Eric encourages that she has him and he’s here for her as he hugs her.

Bonnie continues to explain herself to Xander and claims it’s because she was getting sick and didn’t want to get him sick. Xander says he was actually looking for Maggie and asks if she’s around. Bonnie thinks she’s upstairs. Xander then gets a news alert on his phone and says “wow, she’s pregnant”. Bonnie is confused and questions her telling him that she’s pregnant. Xander explains that he just got a news alert on his phone, then stops and questions who she thought was pregnant.

Sloan tells Eric that she wishes she could’ve helped Colin if she had known what was going on. Eric points out that she’s here now and he’s damn lucky to have her in his corner. Sloan responds that she’s lucky to have Eric in her corner and kisses him. They hug as Sloan thinks back to using her own cheek swab instead of Eric’s to fake the paternity test.

Xander asks Bonnie again who she thought he meant was pregnant. Bonnie claims it was the same person he’s talking about. Xander questions how she knew Nicole was pregnant when Leo’s column just posted. Bonnie claims to be a premium subscriber to Leo’s Lady Whistleblower column, so she gets the hot gossip before the general public. Xander tells her it was great catching up but he should go find Maggie. Bonnie asks what he has to talk to Maggie about. Xander says it’s nothing juicy, just that Maggie offered him Alex’s position at Titan, but he’s going to turn it down. Bonnie is surprised as she bets that job pays big bucks. Xander confirms that it does and as much as he loves Maggie, being his own boss at the Spectator means so much to him and he doesn’t want to sabotage what’s happening between he and Chloe. Bonnie can’t believe Xander and Chloe are an item. Xander responds that they are somewhat involved. Bonnie angrily questions what that means and exactly how involved they are, leaving Xander confused.

Chloe questions Nicole cheating on EJ with Eric. Nicole explains that it was a one night stand while they were under the influence of the hallucinogenic biscuits, so she didn’t know who the father was but she had a paternity test done and found out that EJ is the father. Nicole calls it a relief, but now her biggest concern is if she can carry the baby to term. Chloe tells Nicole that she’s there if she needs her again. Nicole thanks her but says there have been a lot of advancements and treatments in high risk pregnancies, so they are going to see a specialist tomorrow to see if she can carry the baby herself. Chloe prays that she gets good news. Chloe asks if EJ is happy. Nicole confirms that he’s over the moon. Chloe then asks if Nicole is in love with EJ. Nicole responds that EJ has been so good to her. Chloe points out that does not answer her question. Nicole states that’s the best answer she has right now. Chloe knows Nicole said she was relieved that EJ is the father since they are dating and Eric is now dating Sloan. Nicole stops her and insists that she does not wish that Eric was the father. Chloe comments on her protesting too much.

Sloan tells Eric that when she walked in, it looked like he had something weighing on him. Sloan says he has been there for her, so she wants to be there for him too since they are partners. Eric informs her that he ran in to Nicole in the town square. Eric says maybe they shouldn’t talk about it, but Sloan says it’s okay and he doesn’t have to hide his feelings from her as she knows how disappointed he is and that he wishes he was the father of Nicole’s baby.

Stefan tells EJ that he wouldn’t put much stock in Megan and calls her a homicidal maniac. EJ questions not seeing Kristen the same way. Gabi interrupts and points out that they’ve seen Megan and Kristen with their heads together and they worked together to get out of prison, so she questions thinking that they are going to vote separately. Stefan admits she has a point and suggests maybe he and EJ should bury the hatchet. EJ questions Stefan suggesting they form an alliance. Stefan suggests doing so before their sisters take both of them down.

Megan tells Li that she knows what it’s like to be slighted, rejected, and to lose the love of your life to someone unworthy which makes it all the more painful. Li questions her considering her brother unworthy. Megan calls him her half brother from the loathsome Vivian Alamain, who she calls a total psycho. Li asks if she’s assuming that him losing Gabi to Stefan and his animosity towards them would motivate him to become entangled in her taking over the company. Li tells her it’s not going to happen because when it comes to being ruthless and cut throat, he doesn’t bat in her league either. Megan tells him not to be so modest as Kristen did fill her in on his machinations to take over DiMera Enterprises and how he seduced Gabi, brainwashed Stefan, and would’ve pulled the plug on Stefan if Kristen hadn’t stopped him. Megan suggests perhaps the next time that Stefan is on death’s door, he won’t be quite so lucky. Li questions if she is seriously considering killing her own brother. Megan responds that Stefano was a master chess player. Li says that doesn’t answer his question. Megan tells Li that she sees both of her brothers as kings, slow moving pieces who can only move one step in every direction while she sees herself as a queen, free to move around the board in any direction she chooses. Li points out that there’s another queen on the board. Megan says she has been watching Gabi’s moves very closely and she’s an emotional queen that is hot headed and high strung, who might be easily knocked off her pins by the elimination of her king. Megan says that is why she came to him. Megan brings up that the thought of Hope with the man that she loves leads her to homicidal impulses. Megan points out that Li sits here in his sister’s modest apartment with no job and no love. Megan asks if she can assume that he might be feeling burned, humiliated, and aching for retribution.

EJ reminds Stefan and Gabi that Kristen is obsessed with Brady, so he doubts they are in any position to make any major moves. Gabi argues that women are excellent multi-taskers. EJ responds that the only woman he’s concerned about is Gabi. EJ feels if he was foolish enough to trust Stefan again, he knows it would only be a matter of time before he throws him over to secure Gabi his share of power. Stefan admits that they have made no secret of their aspirations, but maybe it’s time the three of them think about their life balance. Gabi brings up that she and Stefan are getting married while Stefan points out that EJ has a new baby on the way. Stefan suggests there is more than enough money and power to go around DiMera, so if the three of them can co-exist against their mutual enemies, then maybe they can start the next chapter of their lives with a modicum of harmony. Stefan asks what EJ says.

Eric tells Sloan that it’s not about Nicole, but he really wanted to be a father. Eric says between Jada’s pregnancy termination and now this, maybe fate is just trying to tell him it’s not in the cards for him. Sloan doesn’t believe in fate or destiny. Sloan asks why it isn’t in the cards for him to have a kid. Sloan feels it just hasn’t happened but it doesn’t mean it can’t. Sloan then asks why doesn’t Eric have a baby with her.

Nicole tells Chloe that she’s protesting because it’s insensitive to think she would rather have Eric be the father. Nicole asks what good it would do to wish otherwise. Chloe agrees and apologizes. Nicole says she’s sorry too as she knows Chloe didn’t mean to upset her. Chloe admits she was being insensitive and not thinking. Nicole states that Eric and Sloan are together, while she and EJ are together. Nicole says she’s so grateful that EJ is the father of her baby, adding that he’s been so sweet to her and patient. Nicole declares that they are committed to each other and the baby. Chloe says she’s happy for both of them and praying that everything works out. Nicole thanks her and asks what about Chloe as she never imagined her working at the Spectator. Chloe explains that Xander offered her the job and doesn’t really take no for an answer. Nicole questions Chloe and Xander working together and living together. Nicole hopes there’s not something going on between them.

Bonnie demands an answer from Xander on how involved he and Chloe are. Xander questions why she cares. Bonnie claims she’s just curious. Xander responds that he’s not the type to kiss and tell. Bonnie questions them kissing and tells him to spill since the cat’s out of the bag. Xander admits that he and Chloe kissed two or three times, but only once where he didn’t get slapped. Bonnie continues to question him but Xander says he’s already shared too much. Xander doesn’t understand why Bonnie is so interested in how many times he’s kissed Chloe or any other woman. Xander asks Bonnie what’s going on. Bonnie tells Xander that he’s making a huge mistake and needs to stop kissing Chloe immediately, because of Sarah. Xander reminds her that he and Sarah are divorced. Bonnie says that’s beside the point and warns that if he gets serious with Chloe, it will hurt Sarah’s feelings. Xander insists that Sarah doesn’t give a damn what he does as she’s too busy with Rex. Bonnie says that’s what she thought too until she saw Sarah and her condition in Chicago when she went to visit Mimi. Xander questions Bonnie saying her condition. Bonnie tries to cover and claims that Sarah is looking very slim and hasn’t let herself go. Xander says it’s always a treat catching up with Bonnie but he really should go find Maggie. Xander adds that his relationship with Chloe is none of her concern and Sarah is in the past, so there is no reason for either of them to give a damn what the other is doing. Xander then exits the room. Bonnie remarks that he may think that now, but after Sarah has the baby, they both are going to feel very differently.

Nicole questions Chloe kissing Xander. Chloe says it happened three times and the first two times, she slapped him. Nicole can’t believe this. Chloe knows Xander has a history. Nicole reminds her of Xander leaving her in the arms of a ruthless Mexican drug cartel. Nicole brings up Xander locking her in a shark cage and ruining her relationship and marriage with Eric. Nicole thought if anyone hated Xander as much as she does, it’s Chloe. Chloe insists that people can change and the more time she’s spent with him, she’s discovered that he has his charms.

Eric tells Sloan that he doesn’t know what to say. Sloan guesses it was bit audacious of her to suggest they have a child together when they haven’t even been together that long, but they do love each other and are committed. Sloan asks why she can’t be the one to give him the child he always wanted. Eric says it’s not something they just decide in the wake of what happened with Nicole. Sloan says this has nothing to do with Nicole and is about them. Sloan brings up that she’s lost her parents and her brother is about to go away for a very long tiem. Sloan knows family is important to Eric and says it is to her too. Sloan talks about letting things get twisted for the wrong reasons but she’s done with all the anger and hatred because of Eric’s kindness, patience, and love. Sloan wants to give Eric something that he always wanted and asks him to let her do that for him. Eric doesn’t know because it feels so sudden. Sloan says it was sudden for EJ too but he’s over the moon about it. Sloan thinks Eric deserves everything in the world including his own baby on the way. Sloan asks if EJ gets to be a father, why shouldn’t Eric?

EJ tells Stefan that he’s not interested in his alliance, but says he and Gabi can turn in their letters of resignation if they want to go work on their lives. EJ then declares may the best DiMera win as he exits the room.

Li tells Megan that Gabi did love him once. Megan points out that if something terrible happened to Stefan then Gabi could turn to him for comfort. Li responds that he moved on from Gabi as he had to. Megan questions if he would turn down the opportunity to get Gabi back and get back at Stefan at the same time. Megan tells Li to think about it because the next move in her little game could very possibly be his.

Bonnie calls Justin and tells him that she almost totally blew it. Bonnie says she talked her way out of it by pretending to be sick, but then starts sneezing and worries that she really is getting sick. Bonnie declares that God is punishing her for lying.

Nicole questions Chloe saying that Xander has his charms and what the hell that means. Chloe responds that Xander is kind, makes her laugh, and is a really good cook. Nicole argues that Xander is the lowest of lows. Chloe says not anymore. Nicole feels she isn’t thinking straight. Nicole calls Xander a horrible human being on the rotten side. Xander then arrives and comments on Nicole saying how she really feels. Xander tells Chloe not to listen to Nicole because she’s just full of sour grapes since she had a shot with him and blew it. Nicole yells at him for being full of stupid arrogance. Xander kisses Chloe and remarks that Nicole’s loss is her gain. Nicole tells Chloe that if she’s not going to slap Xander again, to allow her..

Sloan asks Eric if they should start trying. Eric responds that he loves her but this isn’t something they need to rush in to because of the timing. Sloan understands he’s still getting over a big disappointment. Sloan says whenever he is ready to become a father, he knows where to find her.

Recap written by Eva

Kyle gets drunk at the jazz lounge and meets Aura. He gets her to tell him why she came to Genoa City and also all the places she has worked. Aura asks Kyle about himself but he doesn’t tell her anything. He just thanks her for helping him forget about his problems for a little while.

Summer and Diane argue because Diane thinks Summer was a victim of the plan that Jeremy and Phyllis worked on together. Summer thinks Jeremy forced Phyllis to help him with his plan.

Summer asks Mariah to persuade Kyle to forgive her but Mariah refuses to help because Summer won’t take responsibility for the hurt she caused Diane and Kyle. Summer goes home to talk to Kyle, but he tells her he doesn’t want to talk to her tonight.

Nick tells Victor Faith has been kidnapped by Cameron and he wants Sharon to go meet him at the hotel where they met years ago. Nick and Victor persuade Sharon to let Nick go with her along with members of Victoria security team.

Chance arrives and tells Nick he found a deed to a warehouse that Cameron owns near the hotel where they met years ago. Chance heads to the warehouse to look for Faith and tells Sharon and Nick not to leave the house. Sharon and Nick decide to go meet Cameron because they think the warehouse is a wild goose chase. Nick tells Sharon to tape a knife to her leg just in case she needs to defend herself. Nick leaves the house to meet with the security team. Sharon waits to meet Nick at the back of the house in fifteen minutes but she is stunned when Cameron enters from the kitchen and tells Sharon that everyone is gone and they are alone.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jack: I love september. Always have. Back to school, leaves on the trees changing, fire in the hearth.

Diane: And now, we’ll have another reason to adore autumn.

Jack: Our wedding.

Diane: Yes. But, do you think kyle and summer will have resolved their problems by then?

Jack: Well, they have managed to weather a number of challenges in the past and survived.

Diane: Yeah. Every hurt leaves a scar.

Jack: Yeah, but that scar tissue is sturdy stuff. It’ll make them stronger. It’ll make them champions. Don’t worry. Look, they– they’re not kids. They can solve their own problems. You and I have to focus on each other. I wanna lavish you with all the love you deserve.

Diane: Hmm. And tonight, you’re all mine all night.

Jack: Just us.

Diane: It’s a deal.

Jack: Oh, damn.

Billy: Hey, there. Just the woman I was looking for.

Chelsea: Ah. Well, if you’re looking for the confused, exhausted type. I’m your girl.

Billy: Well, I was just about to get myself something sweet. I’ll grab you an espresso. I’m looking forward to the movie night. Been looking forward to it all week. You’ll fall asleep on my shoulder and connor and i will keep it down.

Chelsea: Well, that’s the problem. Connor.

Billy: What is the problem?

Chelsea: He’s announced he’s not coming out of his room.

Billy: What?

Chelsea: Yeah. Not for a movie. Not for a trip around the world. Not even for the latest sneakers.

Billy: No movie?

[ Chelsea exhaling ]

Chelsea: No nothing.

Sally: Actually, I’m not.

Adam: I was, uh, talking to the other lady in the room. Wait ’til you see what I’ve got for you. Your old dad’s here to expand your palate. But in order for you to taste the world, you need to eat.

Sally: [ Grunts ] How can I? Nick was just arrested for assaulting that maniac.

Adam: Wha– cameron? Uh, well, that tracks.

Sally: Wait, you’re not surprised?

Adam: Uh, nick can be a punch first, ask questions when you get around to it kinda guy. But you know that already.

Sally: What do I know?

Adam: The whole story. What happened with ashland. And the news article you refused to run in newman media’s publication.

Sally: Well, yeah, I know that.

Adam: Yeah. I’m just saying that nick can be his own worst enemy, even when when there’s a hint of danger surrounding someone he loves, he can take it to an extreme.

Sharon: You promised me that faith would be safe. You swore to me!

Chance: We are doing everything that we can to find her, sharon. I promise.

Sharon: Great. Call me when you find something.

Chance: Whoa! Whoa! Where are you going? Where are you going? Stop. Stop.

Sharon: To find my child!

Chance: We have people out there doing their jobs. Let them do their jobs.

Sharon: No, I have to go. I have to go. I have to go.

Chance: Listen to me. Listen to me, before you go. I cannot imagine how terrified you are right now. And yes, faith does need you, but she needs you to be smart.

Sharon: I know. I know. I am. I am.

Chance: Okay, take a breath. All right? Think about this. What happens if you run out there without a clue what’s going on and no backup?

Sharon: I put myself in danger.

Chance: Let me do my job. Okay? Trust me.

[ Door opens ]

[ Nick sighing ]

Nick: I just made bail. What’s going on?

Sharon: It’s faith. He took her. He took our baby.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Nick: How’d he get his hands on her?

Chance: Look, I know you’re upset but I have no idea.

Nick: Tell me what happened.

Chance: We are trying to piece this together still, man.

Nick: I told you from the beginning, these battery charges were a setup. He knew I would die before I would ever allow him to touch a hair on faith’s head.

Sharon: Nick, it doesn’t matter! We have to find her now!

Nick: How did he even know where she would be?

Chance: I mean, he’s gotta have someone on the inside.

Nick: You think my family had something to do with this?

Chance: Who had access to that information? Who knew she was on that flight?

Sharon: No one. I booked that flight myself today. No one on the outside knew anything about it.

Nick: It was cameron. He was here. He poisoned the cat.

Sharon: You said that he never came into this house, but that cat, remember, never went outside. It was in here the whole time until faith found him dead on the doorstep.

Nick: I know what you did! You hear me? I know what you did. You had me set up so you can grab my kid because you’re not man enough to come out here and face me! So you hurt a defenseless kid and hurt her cat. I will find you. Do you hear me? I’m going to find you! And when I do, there’s not gonna be enough left of you for the cops to arrest. Do you hear me? Are you still listening?

Sharon: Oh, my god. You wanted my attention. You got it. You bring my daughter home, you bastard. You bring her back home!

Jack: Champagne’s on us. Enjoy.

Diane: Yes. We should toast to true love. The kind that never dies.

Ashley: Ugh. So morbid. Sounds like a rotting corpse dragging itself out of the cemetery. You know what I mean?

Diane: No. No. And no one ever does. And yet everyone continues to listen to your opinions.

Tucker: Ugh. How about we switch to a fun little rose from 2000? It’s a little bouncy for my taste, but can’t have everything.

Jack: Some of us can.

Diane: Yeah.

Ashley: I think that’s a great idea, honey. So, we haven’t decided what to toast to.

Tucker: Righting old wrongs.

Jack: Wow. There’s a cherry toast. How about rekindling old flames?

[ Ashley laughing ]

Diane: Hmm.

Ashley: Oh!

Jack: What? What’s so amusing?

Ashley: Oh, well, kinda reminds me when diane burnt down the pool house.

[ Chuckling ] Seriously, she did that to trap a man. I mean, who does that? Well, diane does because she’ll do anything to get what she wants. Right, jack?

Jack: Why would you bring–

Diane: No, no, no. Let’s not let anything spoil our celebration. To the abundance of love that’s found its way into the abbott family. May we all be so lucky.

Jack: Oh, I like that.

Diane: Hmm.

Sally: This is an entirely different case than what went down with ashland.

Adam: Show your work.

Sally: Well, he protected his sister from a mad man.

Adam: He protected sharon from a lunatic.

Sally: Who shouldn’t even be out on the streets after all of the crimes he’s committed. And ashland fell. That was an accident.

Adam: And after a round in the ring with nick, what befell cameron was probably a left hook.

Sally: Is this a conversation you really wanna be having with a woman whose borderline pre-eclampsia?

Adam: It is all part of the plan to get you to expose and expunge those sticky feelings so we can get to the candy coated core. Lighthearted topics. Eating, for instance.

Sally: I’m still not hungry.

Adam: Okay. Okay. Then we will simply sit here in silence. No, that’s too awkward. Um, we could, let’s see. Let’s see. Ooh, we could listen to an audiobook.

Sally: Oh, that’s fun.

Adam: Well, not me and you. Me and the kid. Ah-ha! Sun tzu’s art of war or machiavelli’s the prince.

Sally: Wow.

Adam: Well, she’s gotta learn somehow. I want our girl to be ready like a warrior.

Sally: Well, she’s ours, so she has no choice.

Adam: Grow up watching her old man work day and night to build mccall from bones to something valuable.

Sally: Why are you working so hard? It’s not like you have to prove anything to yourself or anyone else.

Adam: Well, I’m doing it all for the love of a girl who potentially could be the greatest love of my life.

Sally: Adam–

Adam: Some as of yet, unnamed beauty, who has a mind for business and a heart as big as a kansas cornfield.

Sally: So what’s the plan? Polish mccall until it sparkles, and then you pass it along to connor and the unnamed beauty?

Adam: Ooh, this is the best part. Is once I make it a contender again, I’m gonna take back what’s mine. Newman media.

Sharon: He was here. He found a way into my home. Took my daughter. He took my sense of security. He knows our plans. He knows our fears. And– and we thought we were being so careful.

Chance: With a guy like this it doesn’t matter how cautious you are. He’s probably been planning this for a long time now.

Sharon: He knows what we’re doing. He knows why. And– and we have no information. We still have no idea what he wants.

Nick: I know what he wants. He told me when I confronted him at the athletic club.

Chance: What’d he say?

Nick: He wants sharon. He thinks that he and her belong together and that he’s gonna make her fall in love with him again.

Sharon: I was never in love with him! He is deranged, okay?

Nick: But if he wants sharon–

Chance: He took faith as leverage.

Nick: She’s the bait.

Chance: To get you to him.

[ Chance sighing ] Dispatch. Yeah. Make sure we got cars in between here and the airport, okay? Thank you. All right. I issued an apb on officer swift’s vehicle and a bolo on cameron. We’ll see what that does.

Sharon: Where could he be keeping her? Where is he keeping her?

Chance: Well, if he wants you, he knows he has to be close, right? I mean, he’s still gotta be in the area.

Nick: What should we do?

Chance: Stay put. He’s gonna try to contact you and set up a time and a place to meet, okay?

Sharon: Okay. Where will you be?

Chance: I’m gonna leave some guys on the property, but I wanna go check out his room at the athletic club, see if he left anything behind that might tell us where he is now or what he’s gonna do next.

Sharon: Chance, please find our faith. Find her.

[ Sharon sobbing ] (Wheezing)

Tucker: I don’t know. What do you think of this rose?

Ashley: Oh, it’s delightful, honey.

Tucker: All right. Maybe we should serve it at the wedding.

Diane: Don’t stop there. Why don’t you buy the vineyard, become vintners and move far, far away?

Ashley: Oh, we can’t do that. We love genoa city too much, don’t we?

Tucker: Yeah.

Ashley: We love it here. Could never move. Although, we could probably do some modifications on the house.

Jack: Wait, my house?

Ashley: Our house. Because sometimes it’s a little inconvenient to run into certain people when you just wanna grab a quick snack from the kitchen.

Diane: Certain people?

Ashley: Yeah. I don’t wanna point fingers, but–

Diane: Yeah. Well, what do you propose we do about it? What? Build a wall down the center of the house?

Ashley: How stupid is that building a wall? Come on. No. I mean, a fence would do perfectly fine.

Tucker: Yes.

Jack: Don’t be absurd.

Tucker: No. An electric fence.

Ashley: Right.

Tucker: You know what though? The increase in the utility bill makes it impractical.

Ashley: We can’t afford that.

Diane: When will you two stop acting so childish?

Ashley: Oh, maybe when your bus leaves the station out of town.

Jack: Could we just have one evening that doesn’t involve sniping and bickering?

Both: She started it.

Jack: Well, apparently not.

Diane: How can you say this started with me? You’re the one who moved tucker into the house. You’re– you’re the one who started this asinine wedding charade.

Ashley: Why is my wedding asinine and yours is perfectly normal?

Diane: Because you’re about to marry that ass.

Tucker: Wow. Are you gonna let her talk to me like that?

Ashley: Well, she’s not really talking to you. She’s talking about you. And no, I’m not. You know, I could throw this perfectly beautiful glass of rose in your face, but that would be a waste of a very expensive glass. But still I’m somehow tempted to maybe just–

Tucker: Can we get a less expensive rose?

Diane: Oh, really, ashley? I dare you. I dare you.

Ashley: You dare me?

Jack: Calm down!

Abby: What fresh hell is this?

Chelsea: I left a message for sharon. She still hasn’t gotten back to me.

Billy: Well, devil’s advocate, kids go through things. We know that.

Chelsea: Yeah. This just feels different, billy. What if it’s the start of something hereditary, that connor’s gonna have to struggle with his entire life?

Billy: That’s possible, okay? That– that could be true, but we don’t know yet. Okay? So one step at a time. Yeah? I’ll go talk to him.

Chelsea: Oh. Uh, just, uh, I don’t know if that’s a good idea.

Billy: Hmm. I can handle a moody teenager. I was one not that long ago.

Chelsea: Hmm… it’s kinda long ago.

Billy: Okay. Watch yourself. Uh, look, we get along well. Let me go talk to him. And who knows? This might be about some girl he doesn’t wanna talk to his mom about.

Chelsea: That kid would talk to me.

Billy: Let me go upstairs. See what I can do.

Chelsea: You’re quite confident.

Billy: I got this.

Chelsea: Good luck.

[ Chelsea sighing ]

Nick: I should have been there. I should have been with faith.

Sharon: Nick, you can not blame yourself.

Nick: I should have driven her to the airport.

Sharon: Well, then he would’ve gotten both of you. Or waited until she was alone someplace else and taken her then. This is not your fault, okay? She had a police escort and that maniac still managed to take her.

Nick: I cannot stop thinking about how bad I’m gonna hurt this guy.

Sharon: All right. Well, we need to focus on the problem. We need to wait for a phone call or some other kind of communication from him.

[ Nick sighing ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Sally: Nick, are you all right?

Nick: Better now that I get to hear your voice.

Sally: It’s really sweet of you to say. Please tell me everything. What’s going on?

Nick: Well, I got outta jail, so things are working themselves out.

Sally: Are you being vague for medical reasons?

Nick: What do you mean?

Sally: It’s like there’s something going on and you don’t wanna tell me. Look, I’m– I’m fine. I’m– I am serenity itself.

Nick: Well, I intend to keep it that way.

Sally: Do you know why I was so good at newman media? Because I suffer from fomo. Chronic fear of missing out. I need to know things.

Nick: Well, you’re gonna have to get used to taking a backseat for the next few months. Listen, can you do me a favor? Can you put adam on the phone? I need to talk to him and promise me that you’re gonna take care of yourself until I get there and do it for you.

Sally: I can’t wait. And same to you.

[ Sally sighing ] And for the record, I hate being left in the dark.

Adam: Anyone that’s spent 20 seconds with you will know that. Before you ask, she’s fine. I’ll make sure she eats her veggies. How are things?

Nick: Is this on speaker phone?

Adam: Of course not.

Nick: All right. I need you to pretend like you’re not hearing bad news and definitely keep this to yourself.

Adam: I can do that.

Nick: Cameron has faith. He took my little girl.

Adam: I see. Um, what now?

Nick: I’mma take care of this. That’s what’s now.

Adam: Well, don’t worry about sally. I will take care of her, um, while you handle that issue.

Nick: Thank you.

Adam: Mm-hmm. What are brothers for? Do what you have to do.

Nick: Oh, I will. Count on that.

Diane: You have been attacking me since I came back to genoa city.

Ashley: Who asked you to come back, diane?

Abby: Okay. Wait, wait. Stop. Just stop whatever this is.

Jack: Hey. Look who’s here.

Diane: Hi, honey.

Tucker: Just in time

Abby: For what? World war iii?

Jack: Actually, we were celebrating.

Abby: Oh, is that what you call this? Because it looks like you were trying to resolve this great wedding conflict by attempting to smash each other’s heads in.

Diane: Oh, no. There’s no conflict. Your uncle jack and I were just mulling over the idea of a september wedding.

Ashley: [ Fake coughing ] Oh, no, not september.

Tucker: Yeah, we had our eyes set on august.

Ashley: Yeah. ‘Cause we just, we can’t wait.

Jack: Please put an end to this ruse. You could save face and walk away from the whole thing.

Abby: I think what uncle jack is trying to say is that august just seems so soon.

Tucker: Well, I would marry her tomorrow if she’d have me.

Ashley: Isn’t it tremendous news, jackie? I mean, really, isn’t it? We have a couple months here of just, oh, it’s just gonna be filled with planning and fittings and all the excitement that goes into new beginnings.

Tucker: Oh, I can’t wait.

Ashley: Yeah. Me neither. I can’t wait. I mean, really it’s more than just a wedding though, don’t you think tucker? It’s more of like a wedding experience.

Tucker: Experience.

Ashley: Yeah. And I think– I mean, I hope that the people on your guest list aren’t wedding-ed out after all the events that we have planned. I mean, it’s truly an extravaganza.

Tucker: Extravaganza. Truly.

Diane: Jack, why don’t we find a table closer to the music?

Jack: Excellent idea.

Ashley: Bye.

Abby: You’re children, you know that, right? Worse than children.

Billy: It could have gone better. At least, now I know my sense of humor works better on his mother.

Chelsea: What happened?

Billy: Well, um, I did my best and, uh, he wasn’t really having it. He used homework as an excuse, asked me to shut the door while I was on the other side of it. But he was very polite about it.

Chelsea: What do you think this is?

Billy: I don’t know.

Chelsea: I don’t think this is just the usual dark cloud that’s gonna blow over. I really don’T. I mean, why would it? Between my genetics and adam’s weird self-loathing, me against the world thing, I mean, it’s no wonder this kid wants to lock himself in his bedroom.

Billy: Okay. I’ve known you for a long time. You’ve been many things, but licensed physician, not one.

Chelsea: I’m his mom.

Billy: I know. I get it. And as a parent, you think you know all the right answers. Best thing you can do is love him, continue to support him, and know that sometimes, a professional is the best person to ask about stuff like this.

Chelsea: Yeah, you’re right. You’re right. I’m just gonna tell him, “listen, if you, you know, sprained your ankle, you’d go see a doctor. Depending on your unique genetic makeup, some of us are more prone to sprained ankles than the rest of the world.”

Billy: Look, the best thing he can do to take care of himself is allow the people that love him to help him.

Chelsea: And if sharon can’t help, I will find someone who can.

Billy: Sounds like a plan.

Sharon: You know, when faith was born, they told me she didn’t make it. That never felt right to me. Sometimes, I could feel her out there, like my missing part needing me.

Nick: Then, she was in your arms like cassie predicted.

Sharon: Someone’s been looking out for her. She has a guardian angel.

Nick: She does. Everything about that girl is a miracle

Sharon: From the very beginning. And that’s not gonna end now. Type 2 diabetes?

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. I used to pre-rinse dishes cause my old detergent

Adam: Well, look who, uh, had an appetite after all?

Sally: Oh, it was so good. Where’s it from?

Adam: What?

Sally: Where’s it from? Where’s it from?

Adam: I’m not telling. Don’t look at the address on the receipt. Okay? Guy’s gotta keep a secret. What if I go in there one night and you’ve made it yours and nick’s new favorite spot?

Sally: Well, it was delicious.

Adam: That’s what new york tastes like to me. Stumbling home after a late night, passing all the closed shops and empty taxis, having a grilled cheese while the city comes alive again.

Sally: The grilled cheese is perfect. And that story was distracting in all the right ways. And it’s a good thing that you like late nights and early mornings because I have news. This one is a free spirit.

Adam: Well, I am glad to entertain.

Sally: Just which stomach churning event are you distracting me from? My blood pressure and the baby, or this thing with the guy from nick and sharon’s past and just how serious is it?

Nick: Yes, faith is a miracle. You know what else she is? She’s your daughter. That means she’s a fighter and a survivor. Wherever she is, she’s gonna be okay. She’s gonna come back to us.

Sharon: She still has so much she needs to experience, nick.

Nick: I know that. And she knows she has two parents who will move heaven and earth to bring her back home. Our daughter is made of steel. Do not shed a tear for her. If anything, you feel pity for the bastard who made the mistake of messing with our girl.

Sharon: I wish I had a slice of her strength right now.

Nick: Sharon, that is what’s keeping her going. She knows that she is front and center in your mind. That connection that you have, that love that you have is so strong and real. I need you to dig deep and access that part of your connection. That is what is going to keep her alive.

Sharon: Yeah?

Nick: Yes. We need the sharon that kicked cancer’s ass. That helped our daughter through that terrible car accident and got her through rehab and the kidney transplant.

Sharon: She was so brave then.

Nick: Then and now. We need the mom who studied day and night to get that degree. One I know she sometimes feels like she’s not using. But sharon, it is time for you to do the most important thing you’ve done in a long time. Find our little girl. Get inside his head.

Sharon: I can’t, nick.

Nick: Yes, you can. Yes, you can. You can do this. You know how he thinks. Just take yourself out of the picture, all right? This is just another case study in one of your textbooks. It is suspect versus survivor. Tell me what he’s gonna do next.

Sharon: He’ll play mind games. He’ll try to get inside of her head and get her to believe his lies. That’s what he did with me and he will try the same with her. We’ve gotta find her, nick, before it’s too late.

Jack: I am so sorry. You do not deserve any of this abuse that ashley is heaping on you.

Diane: Oh, your sister doesn’t scare me. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go to the ladies. Be right back.

Abby: Uncle jack, what’s going on?

Jack: What’s going on? I am in love about to marry the woman I am meant for. Everything else–

Abby: Could be devastating.

Jack: Okay, abby, what is it you wanna say?

Abby: What is going on with my mom’s behavior? It’s crazy. I mean, she’s saying she’s doing all of this because she’s trying to protect you and jabot from diane’s diabolical designs, but doesn’t it bother you?

Jack: Tell me this. Do you think your mother really wants to expel me from jabot or she just wants me to think that’s what she’s doing?

Abby: Either way, all of this is troublesome. I mean, arguing in public, all of it.

Jack: Well, I’m a man in love. What trouble is it to me? Tucker is exploiting your mother. He’s taking advantage of her. He’s manipulating her. Whether he’s doing it for fun or for profit, I don’t know. But he’s the one who needs the talking to.

Abby: You think so too?

Jack: Oh, if there is some master plan to take over at jabot, tucker is the engineer. And any talk that your mother is making this move to protect the company from diane, that is garbage. This is a power grab. Pure and simple.

Abby: Uncle jack, I–

Jack: It breaks my heart that she is even considering it, but I am unruffled because even if tucker, god forbid marries her, he will never get his hands on jabot. I told myself I was ok with my moderate

Adam: I am not certain I understand your question. Are you asking me if nick and sharon past is a threat or the guy from their past is a threat to you?

Sally: Okay, now I’m confused. Although that’s probably what you were going for, wasn’t it? Look, just answer me this one question. Should I be worried about nick and sharon’s past?

Adam: No.

Sally: Should I be worried about the guy?

Adam: That’s two questions.

Sally: Okay. Adam, look, what are you saying?

Adam: You are not supposed to be worried about anything right now. You know nick would never let anything happen to you.

Sally: There’s something you’re not telling me, I know it. But I am more tired than curious, so I’m just gonna go rest my eyes.

Adam: I support that wholeheartedly. Here, let me help get in there. All cozy and calm while you dream of– of– where is your happy place these days?

Sally: Oh, well, going over color palettes for the job at chancellor-winters.

Adam: You know, the idea is to relax, keep your blood pressure low.

Sally: Is your happy place on a beach, on an island? Or is it taking your private elevator up to the top floor of your building, saying, “good morning, to your assistant and sitting behind your custom made desk?

Adam: You got a point. Go wherever you’re happy. But you have to do it from this room and this bed.

Sally: Mm, wild horses could not drag me away.

Adam: Good. Because I would lose my job.

Sally: Well, you always have mccall.

Adam: Hmm. Oh, that’s just a shiny toy that’s, um, nowhere near what I really want.

Sally: And what is it that you really want?

[ Adam sighing ]

Adam: Everything.

Sally: Adam, wait, can you do me a favor?

Adam: Anything.

Sally: Will you wake me when nick calls?

Adam: I promise.

Billy: Look, I know this is tough. No parent wants to see their kids struggle, whether it’s a math equation or emotions.

Chelsea: If this were algebra, I’d just hire a tutor.

Billy: There’s no shame in getting help. We know that. And connor is a bright, smart, funny kid. He loves life and he adores his mother. He’s just got some things swirling around in his head right now and it’s clouding his vision. And we’ll do everything we can to make sure that he gets clearheaded again.

Chelsea: Back to the real connor.

Billy: Exactly.

Chelsea: Date night for single parents is supposed to be a lot more fun than this. I promise I’ll make it up to you.

Billy: Any night I get with you is as good as it gets.

[ Abby sighing ]

Abby: Are you so bored now that you don’t have your own company to run that your new hobby is sowing discord?

Tucker: No, abby, the only thing that would leave me bereft is if I were to lose your mother.

Abby: What do you want from diane and uncle jack?

[ Tucker sighing ]

Tucker: Peace. Sincerely. I was hoping to find our own little corner of the world and start something new with your mom.

Abby: Or that could just be something you’re saying to cover your true motives. Do you really think my mom would start over again with you? Of course not. She’s not gonna walk away from her family’s business and you know that. This is just putting you in the perfect position to snatch jabot and make it seem like my mom’s idea.

Tucker: I see. The real thing is that you just don’t trust me.

Abby: No, I don’T.

Tucker: Okay. I’m gonna make her happy, abby.

Abby: You’re gonna break her heart. You always do.

Tucker: You know, abby, I sure hope you’re not teaching that grandson of mine that people can’t change. Hey.

Ashley: Uh-oh. What did I miss?

Abby: Oh, nothing. You know, just a round of getting to know your mom’s former and future husband.

Ashley: Who’s winning?

Abby: I’m not sure yet.

[ Abby scoffing ] I’m gonna pull over and stretch my legs.

AbbO.

Abby: Well, I– I have to go. I have a beautiful little boy to rush home to.

Ashley: Okay.

Jack: Family.

Diane: Where would we be without them?

Ashley: I can think of a few places you’d fit right in.

Abby: Okay. Stop.

Ashley: Sorry.

Diane: I think that’s the next thing on my to-do list.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

4:00 AM in Hong Kong. I wonder, I feel like crap. Survived a life consultation with Father and come back to Bills.

And this,

that must be death wrapping out my door.

Close enough. Hello, Mr. Shin. I’m Megan. I know who you are. You’re Megan Hathaway, the one who stole that crystal from me, please. It was never really yours in the first place. And it’s Megan Deira. Yeah. Well it’s great catching up. Not so fast. You and I have important business to discuss.

Yeah. More. There you are. Oh, somebody’s in a good mood. I just got the best news ever. Yeah. My divorce, Lee, it’s final. You are looking at a single woman. Oh, not for long. You hear that? What? What? Wedding bells in the distance of getting closer all the time. Oh, Stephan, I cannot wait to be your wife and I can’t wait to be your dooring husband.

And as Salem’s preeminent power couple, you’ll have the world by the colons. Yes. We’ll, oh, I wouldn’t be so about that.

Oh, hey Eric. Hi. Hey. Any news with Abe? No. Sloan’s brother continues to deny that he’s had any involvement in his disappearance. Sloan believes him. So does Rave. Yeah. Well, I’ll keep praying that they find Abe soon.

Hey, wait,

how are you? How’s everything going? I assume you’re talking about the pregnancy. I mean, EJ and I have a meeting with the Perinatologist tomorrow, you know, specialist for high risk pregnancies. Right. Well, I hope everything works out. That should tell you that you can have e j’s, baby

lady whistleblower can blow it out as whistle. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Sarah and Xander are over for good. There’s no reason to think that that would change.

Okay. You can do this. Funny girl. You can keep Sarah’s pregnancies. See if get easy peasy. Just gotta stay away from Xander. Some just don’t. Okay. Yes, I heard you coming. How did you know it was me? Uh, can’t you see why you’ve got those clo hoppers? I mean, they make a certain flop every step you take and people could hear miles away.

I don’t have particularly big feet. And they certainly don’t flop, do they? No, no, no, no. Don’t do, don’t you come near me. Just, just, just, just please stay the hell away from me.

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

Displaced. It was only to freak out. Oh, wait, I know exactly why this is happening. You do. Who told you? No one told me. I just know I, you’re still afraid of me because I. Held you captive, disguised as a killer clown. Yes. That’s, that’s why I freaked out when I saw you. Yeah, I understand. Probably having trauma flashbacks, a big flopping clown shoes coming towards you.

I clown feet is exactly right. Boy, I wasn’t wearing CLA shoes when I kidnapped you. It’s true, but you know what? That’s not really important. The important thing is that that is just so far in the past and I’ve forgiven you, and I know you would never, ever do anything like that again. And the only reason that you were driven to do such dastardly deeds is because he wanted to provide for Sarah and what husband wouldn’t wanna provide for his wife.

Huh? Huh uh, ex-wife. Sarah’s your ex-wife. Two are divorced, she is gone and she is never coming back and you two are never getting back together. He’s Bonnie Leon thick. I’m sorry, I really stepped in. I just know that I meant well. Please meant well, but reminded me how much Sarah needs me. Oh, but she doesn’t, I mean, it’s not hate that she feels, I mean, how would I know how she feels now?

E, even if it is hate that she feels that could change. Because you know what? Things can change. You know what they say? Nothing is for certain except for death. And babies of change. Death attacks isn’t change. Right? Those things are definitely certain. Oh yeah. Ooh, glad we’re on the same page. It is hot here.

I’m gonna get going. Okay. Bonnie, if you have forgiven me and you’re not scared of me anymore, Then why did you shriek and run away when I walked in?

Well, there are no guarantees, but a lot has changed since Holly and there have been some major advancements in the treatment of high risk pregnancies like mine, right?

I hope they tell you some really good news tomorrow. I mean, after everything you’ve been through, you really deserve this.

Yeah. I don’t know about deserving it, but I am happy that maybe I get to be a mom again.

Okay. Yeah. You, you take care of yourself. Yeah. You too,

isn’t it? A little too early in the morning for a drink brother. Shouldn’t you be heading to the office? I would like to wine, wine first, if that’s all right with you. Tough morning. Just somewhat intense, but in a good way. We do get a lot of research trying to find the best possible specialist for Nicole and flying in an expert tomorrow, uh, perinatologist, who will hopefully tell us that Nicole will be able to carry out Charles the time well, I really hope it works out for you guys as you are.

Thank you. And the timing could be perfect because by that time you’ll likely be free. You know? Once the little one comes around and you could be a stay at home dad. It’s like a trend now, isn’t it? All my days will be anything but free when this child is born. You see, I’ll be very busy ensuring that my son or daughter inherits the legacy of our father’s company.

So I will be doing everything on my power to stop Salem’s most incompetent couple from leaving it in ruin.

You don’t have the votes to stop us ej, nor do you have the votes to stop me. No. We damn well do because not only do we have each other’s vote we have Kristen. Kristen. Yes, I know you believe you’ve secured her support. I also know how to be quite mercurial mercurial. Fickle tends to turn on a dime, as I’m sure you two have observed, but that notwithstanding, I have secured our other sister’s vote.

So you may have Kristen’s support. For the time being, I most assuredly have Megan’s, I assume you still have eyes and ears of the company, Mr. Shin? I do. So then you are aware of the fact that there is a power struggle brewing, hard to mess trust. You’re here representing ejs interests. I am here representing my own interests.

You see, my little brother Elvis is a sweet boy, but when it comes to being ruthless in cutthroat, he doesn’t batten my league. Well, you must know I’m out at Tamara, so not quite sure you still have a vote, which I promised to Gabby Hernandez. Who is madly in love with my other half-brother Stephan. So you’ve pledged your loyalty to a woman who’s pledged hers to another man, Wiley.

Why are you going to let someone who used you and betrayed you, keep you from getting what you want?

Chloe. Hey. Hey. I hope I’m not interrupting. No, of course not. Come here and of, oh, I’ve missed you, my friend. We have fairly spoken since I left Basic black. Uh, yeah, it’s my bad. I I should have been better at keeping in touch. No, the phone works both ways. How, how are you, how’s it been teaming up with EJ at the mothership?

Oh, well that’s been eventful, in fact. Um, Life in general has been pretty eventful. Mm. Well, now you’ve got my attention. What’s been going on with you? Well, for starters, uh, I’m pregnant.

Hey, hey, how’s your meeting Go with the da. It’s a disaster actually. My brother’s still refusing to plead guilty and trusts out for blood.

He’s facing a lot of time in prison for what he did up on that rooftop. There’s nothing really I can do to help him.

I know what he did was unspeakable to Mayor Carver and Paulina Chanel. But you know, he’s, he’s still, my family’s is the only family I have left. You have me. I’m here for you.

Huh? So now you wanna know why I freaked out when I saw you? Yeah, you totally freaked out on me. I mean, why did you scream at me to get back? Well, because I feel cold coming on and I didn’t want you to catch it. And you know that feeling when you just have the s just going, oh. When was that? Was that sneeze or a cough?

Oh, both. I’m sorry, my nose is running and my throat’s kinda scratchy. Ooh, I should, I should just probably be wearing a, a mask, you know? I don’t wanna infect people with myy germs. Yeah. So, right. Yeah. Look, I was actually looking for a Maggie shirt around upstairs, I think. Okay. You know what? I’m just, I’m just gonna get the long way around.

Understand this. Hey, it’s a good idea. You probably, yeah. Should go.

Oh wow. She’s pregnant. What? She told you she’s pregnant? No, she didn’t tell me. I just got a news alert. A news alert? Yeah. But you just said she told you she was Bonnie, who do you think was pregnant?

I mean, I wish I could have helped him. If I would’ve known what was going on, I could have stepped in. I could have tried to stop him. It’s, you’re here for him now. He’s damn lucky to have you in his corner. This big sis is there for thanks. I’m lucky to have you in my corner.

Sorry, Eric, I just can’t risk losing you to Nicole. This baby ends up being yours. That test has to come back negative.

When I said someone was pregnant, who did you think I meant? Who? Um, who it was, was the. The person you said was pregnant is who I thought it was. Knew. So you knew that Nicole was pregnant? Nicole, of course I knew. But have lady at Whistleblowers column only just published to the site. She just published on the maybe for.

You, it just published, but I, I just happened to be one of Lady Whistleblower’s premium. I. Subscribers. Mm-hmm. Oh, you’re a little blowy. Ah, that’s me. Not really fond of that name, but uh, then again for 4 99 a month, I get all the dish on Salem’s hot dos before the general public. I see. Yeah. Well, we’re happy to have you.

I’m so glad I approved that revenue stream. Oh, me too. I wouldn’t wanna be in the dark when the next big secret drops. I hate to be the last one to know about that stuff. Right. Yeah. Well, anyway, I really should find Maggie, who’s great, catching up better. What do you have to tell Maggie? Anything juicy? I, well, I don’t think it’s anything that Lady Whistleblower would report on, but Maggie offered me Alex’s job at Titan, but I’m gonna turn her down.

Oh, sander. But I bet that position pays big bucks. It does, but as much as I love Maggie, I, all right. Being my own boss at the Spectator just means so much to me. Ah, I don’t wanna sabotage what’s happening between me and Chloe, between you and Chloe Lane. Do you know any other clothes? Kardashian, but that’s with a K.

Please don’t tell me you and Chloe are an item. Well, I don’t know if I’d use that exact term, but since she’s someone that I greatly admire, I’m happy to say that we are somewhat involved. Somewhat. What does somewhat mean exactly? How involved are you? Two? Wait, I’m sorry. So. You were saying that you cheated on EJ with Eric?

No, no, no. I did not cheat on ej. I just had a a one night stand with Eric, and it was while we were under the influence of those damn hallucinogenic biscuits. So it was just that one time. Yeah. You guys didn’t use birth control? Well, we were higher than kites, Chloe. Oh, so you didn’t know who the baby’s father was, but now you know.

Yes. I had a paternity test done. And I found out that EJ is the father, and it’s such a relief. But now my biggest concern is if I can carry this baby to term, and I know I don’t have to tell you, it’s, it’s been my biggest problem. Right. And if you need me again too, Nicole, I’m here. No, no, Chloe, thank you so much.

But there have been a lot of advances in treatments for high risk pregnancies, so EJ and I are gonna see specialists tomorrow to determine if I can carry this baby myself. Well, that’s so wonderful. I’m, I’m praying that you get good news. Me too. So is EJ happy? He is over the moon and you. Are you in love with ej?

He’s been so good to me. Wow. That does not answer my question Well, that is the best answer that I have for you right now, Chloe. Okay. Well, I know that you said you’re relieved that EJ is the father of your baby because you two are dating and Eric is now with Sloan. But no, no, no. Chloe, please do not go there.

I’ve had a hard enough day as it is, and I, since I already know what you’re gonna ask. No, no. I do not wish, nor have I been wishing that Eric is the baby’s father. What? What is that look? Just makes me think of that line from Hamlet. You know the one that goes, the lady doth protest Too much me thinks.

Eric, when I walked in here before you looked like you had something weighing on you. Oh, please. You’ve been here for me. I wanna be here for you too. Oh, my partners, right?

I ran into Nicole in the square. I see. You know what? Maybe we shouldn’t talk about this. No, no. It’s okay. You don’t have to hide your feelings from me, Eric. Look, I know how disappointed you are. How you wish. You’d have been the father of Nicole’s baby.

I would not put too much stock in Megan. I mean, aside from her being a homicidal mania. Oh, as opposed to Kristen. You mean post to child for rationality and trustworthiness? Okay. Yeah, yeah. Okay. We, we, we both have seen Kristen and Megan put their heads together. You know, they joined forces to get out of prison, so obviously they’re thickest thieves.

So what makes you think they’re gonna stop now and dilute their power by voting separately? Gabby has a point. So ej, maybe it’s time you and I bury the hatchet and not in each other’s backs. So you are suggesting me what? Consolidate power of formal lines. That’s exactly what I’m suggesting for our sisters.

Take both of us down.

I know what it’s like to be slighted, rejected. And to lose the love of one’s life to someone who’s unworthy. Well, that just makes it all the more painful, doesn’t it? So you consider your brother unworthy, my half-brother, please. Birthed by the loaves from Living Aloma

inferior stock. Not to mention that she’s a total psycho. So if I’m reading you right, you’re assuming that my losing Gabby to Stephan and the resulting animosity I therefore harbor towards him and her would motivate me to become entangled in your machinations to take over the company by job. I think he’s got it.

No, not gonna happen. You see when it comes to being ruthless and cutthroat. I don’t batten your league either. Mr. Demara don’t be so modest. Mr. Shen. You see Kristen did fill me in on your own machinations to take over enterprises. How you seduced Gabby? How you brainwashed Stephan? And how you would’ve pulled the plug on him Had Kristen not stopped you?

No. Perhaps the next time that that swine is on death’s door, you won’t be quite so lucky, my son. You seriously considering killing your own brother?

You know, my father was a master chess player, used the game as a metaphor for life and taught me to do the same.

That doesn’t answer my question. I thought that was a rhetorical one. It wasn’t Mr. Shen. I see both of my brothers as kings. Slow moving pieces. Who can move only one step in every direction forward, backward, to the side or diagonally. Whereas I see myself as a queen who is free to move around the board in any direction she chooses.

Mm. But there’s one more queen on the board. Is there not? Gabriela Hernandez. Yes, and I have been watching her moves very closely. Turns out that she’s an emotional queen, isn’t she? She’s hotheaded, high strung one who might be easily knocked off her pants. By the elimination of her king, which is why I’ve come to you.

Now, speaking for myself, I can say that the thought of Hope Brady, with the man that I love leads me to impulses that can only be described as homicidal. So I ask you, Mr. Hin, as you sit here in your sister’s, Modest department. No job, no power. And no love. And then you think of the man that took all of that from you.

Can I safely assume that you might perhaps be feeling burned, humiliated? Would winked and therefore aching for retribution.

Megan is still fixated on Bo Brady and Kristen is obsessed with Brady Black. I doubt that they are in any shape to make any major moves. Hm, wrong. Unlike men, women are excellent multitaskers, and those two are no exception. They can chew gum and walk all over you at the same time. Believe me, the only woman I’m concerned about is the one in this room.

If I’m, again, foolish enough to ally myself with my brother, I know it won’t be long before he throws me over in an attempt to secure said woman my share of power. Okay. Gabby and I have made no secret of our aspirations, but maybe it’s time for the three of us to consider our life balance. Life balance.

What the hell are you talking about? You’re right about me and Stephan. My divorce from Lee just came through and Stephan and I are getting married and you have a new baby on the way. So you are suggesting, I am suggesting that there is more than enough money and power to go around De Marisol. The three of us can find a way to peacefully coexist and eliminate our mutual enemies.

Maybe just, maybe we can all start the next chapter of our lives with a modicum of harmony. What do you say, brother?

So it’s not about Nicole. I just, I really wanted to be a father. But between Judah’s pregnancy termination, and now this, maybe faith is just trying to tell me. It’s not in the cards for me. I don’t believe in fate or destiny or whatever else you wanna call it. And Eric, why isn’t it in the cards for you to have a kid?

Huh? It hasn’t happened just because. It just hasn’t happened. It doesn’t mean it can’t. You’re young, you’re healthy, so why don’t you have a baby with me?

Well, I’m protesting because it’s not helping Chloe, and it’s pretty insensitive too to suggest that I would rather have Eric be the father, especially since I told you he’s not. And, and, and what good does it do to wish otherwise? You are right. I’m sorry my friend. I’m, I’m sorry too. I, I know that you didn’t mean to upset me.

No, I, I didn’t, but you’re right. I was being insensitive. I wasn’t thinking. I look, Eric and Saloon are together now, and EJ and I are together, and EJ is my baby’s father, and I am so grateful. And he’s been nothing but sweet to me and patient. And we are committed to each other and this baby. Well, that’s good.

I’m, I’m happy for the both of you. I’m, I’m praying everything works out. Thank you. And what about you? What about me? I never imagined you working here at The Spectator. Yeah, me neither. But Sander offered me this job and. He doesn’t really take no for an answer,

so you and Sandra are working together and living together Uhhuh, and by the look on your face. Please do not tell me something is going on between the two of you.

Sandra, answer me. How involved are you with Chloe Lane? Why not see you care, Bonnie? Because I’m curious. That’s all. I’m sorry, but I’m not the kind to kiss and tell you kissed. Oh, come on. Spill it. Cat’s outta the bag here. All right. We did share one kiss. Actually, there were three kisses, but I got slapped the first two times.

Oh, so only one kiss where you didn’t get slapped. I’ve already shared too much Bonnie, and to be honest, I don’t really understand why you’re so interested in how many times I kissed Chloe or any other woman. I mean, Why is it with you? What’s going on, Bonnie? All right, I’ll tell you. Okay, Xander, you are making a huge mistake and you need to stop this kissing business with Chloe immediately.

Why? Why? Because of Sarah.

Bonnie, Sarah and I are divorced as you just brought up. She and I were, we’re through. We don’t even talk anymore. That’s beside the point. How is that beside the point, you may not be in touch. All right? But gotta believe me when I tell you, if you get serious with Chloe, it’ll hurt Sarah’s feelings. And you have to believe me when I tell you, Bonnie, that.

Sarah’s doesn’t give a damn what I do. She’s too busy doing whatever with Rex. No. No, she’s not. That’s what I thought meant. I saw her and saw what conditions she what You saw her, her condition. Is she okay? No, she’s fine. She, she’s fine. Yes. I saw her in Chicago when I went to visit Mimi. Okay, well, what’s, what’s the less about her condition?

Oh, I shouldn’t have said condition. I, I, I, men are we, wait, she’s slim. Very slim. Well, she’s not eating. Oh, no. She’s healthy, happy, happy, happy, happy. She, she hasn’t let herself go. Mm-hmm. Hmm. Good. Um. Happy for her that she’s staying fit. Yeah, it’s, it’s always a good thing. Mm-hmm. Well, it’s always a treat.

Catching up with you, Bonnie, but I really should find Maggie now ex I knowand. Really? You have to listen. I understand that you, you’re just trying helpful. But my relationship with Chloe is none of you concerned, and Sarah, she’s in the past. There’s no reason for either of us to give a damn what is.

You may think that right now, right after Sarah has the baby, You both are gonna feel very differently.

You kissed Xander? Well, I kissed him three times, but after the first two times I slapped him. So I’m not sure that those count. Oh God, I can’t believe this. Oh, come on. Listen, I know that he has a history of violence. Deceit. Have you forgotten that he left you in the clutches of a ruthless Mexican drug cartel?

Have you forgotten that? He locked me in a shark cage. He ruined my relationship. My marriage with Eric. I thought if anyone hated Xander as much as I do, it’s you. Okay? Maybe a few weeks ago I would’ve agreed with you, but. You know that people can change and the more that I’ve spent time with him, I’ve just, I’ve discovered that he has his charms.

So I, I, I don’t know what to say. It’s okay. I guess it was a bit audacious of me to suggest that we have a child together. We’ve not even been together that long, but I mean, we do love each other and we’re committed to one another. Why can’t I be the one to give you the child you’ve always wanted? Some slowness isn’t something we just decide in the wake of what happened with Nicole.

This has nothing to do with Nicole. This is about us. Eric, listen to me. I’ve lost both my parents. My brother is about to go away for a very long time. I know family’s important to you. It’s important to me too, but I let all of that get so twisted for, for the wrong reasons, his anger. A hatred, but I’m done with all of that because of you.

Because kindness and your patience, your love God have given me so much. I just, I wanna give you something that you’ve always wanted. Won’t you let me do that for you?

Sloan. I dunno. It just, it feels so, so sudden. Well, it was sudden for EJ too, but I’m sure he is over the moon about it. Yeah, he, he is de flame.

I dunno. I think that you deserve everything in this world. A little precious baby on the way. A blessing. Fiji Damira gets to be a father. Why shouldn’t you?

Well, brother.

Yeah, not interested brother, but if you and Gabby want to give up and go work on your life balance, I’ll be happy to accept your letter of resignation as co c e o of the company. Short of that shall just say that the best of

Gabby did love me once, so if something terrible should happen to Stephan. The vulnerable widow de mera could very likely turn to you for comfort. Even if she did, I moved on from her. I had to.

So you’re telling me that if I gave you the opportunity to get her back, And to get back at my brother at the same time you turn me down.

Think about it, Lee. The next move in my little game could very possibly be yours.

Oh my God, Justin, I almost totally blew it. You know me, I can talk my way out of anything. It wasn’t it very clever of me to come up with the idea that I had a bad cold. Oh. Ooh. Oh no. Oh, no, no, no. I, I think I really am getting sick.

Oh, God. Oh God. Oh God. No. God is punishing me for lying. He is.

Oh, he has his charms. What the hell is that supposed to mean? It means that he’s, he’s kind and he makes me laugh, and he’s a really good cook. Chloe, who cares if he makes you laugh and is a good cook? Zaner is the lowest of Lowe’s, and you know that as well as I do. No, not anymore. Well, that’s because you’re not thinking straight.

Xander is a horrible excuse for a human being. His smug, arrogant, exterior hides all that rotten inside. Oh, come on Nicole. That’s how you really feel. Don’t listen to your friends here. Nicole’s just full of Sarah grapes cuz she had her shot with me and she blew it. Oh, there it is. Stupid arrogance. You know, you really are full of it.

You were just, but her loss, no. Is your game, Chloe. If you’re not going to slap him again, please allow me.

So what do you think? Should we start trying? Not gonna answer me. My answer is, I love you better than I know slow. This isn’t something that we need to rush into and the timing is, Right. You’re still getting a big disappointment. Okay. Well, whenever you are ready to become a father, You know where to find me.

I’ll keep that in mind. You’ll definitely be the first to know.

AJ made a huge mistake. Pop his ass. Hey, we tried and under the heading of the Pride Goeth before the fall, you and I are the only ones EJ needs to worry about taking him down.

I just left you, Mr. Shin. Miss me already what we talked about, taken Stefan down by any means necessary. Yes. Amen. Why is decision Mr. Shannon. And I’m sure with your help, my brother is not long for this world.

Ridge: Do I need to remind you guys that this is a business trip?

Rj: Sure seems like you’re packing in a lot in a really short amount of time.

Eric: And that doesn’t mean that you and brooke can’t enjoy a little time together by yourselves in your spare time.

Ridge: Oh, wow. You are about as subtle as a sledgehammer.

[ Eric laughing ] Don’t get any ideas. You or you.

Rj: Me? What did I say? What did I say?

Ridge: Brooke is going because she is an essential part of this company. Anything else?

Eric: Anything else? Anything more than that would make this trip even more memorable, actually, in more ways than one.

Brooke: Okay. I really don’t have time for this. I’m trying to prepare for my trip tomorrow.

Taylor: Your big trip, your– your trip to rome with ridge.

Steffy: Liam, I understand why you feel that way. And you know, I have my concerns too, but this isn’t like san francisco. Hope and thomas aren’t gonna be alone together.

Liam: True.

Steffy: They’re gonna be crazy busy the whole time. But you’re still worried?

Liam: I mean, not about hope. Like I– I know she loves me.

Steffy: Yeah, so do I. But you know how I feel. I think hope has these confusing feelings towards thomas. Feelings that she hasn’t even acknowledged to herself or to you.

Hope: Don’t worry about me. I can handle liam.

Deacon: Just a little gentle suggestion. Don’t handle him. Listen to him.

Hope: Yeah, except he’s not listening to me. I keep telling him it’s just business. Nothing more.

Deacon: You sure that thomas knows that?

Hope: Thomas isn’t the problem, okay? And besides, I’ve actually, I’ve been thinking about something else lately.

Deacon: What have you been thinking about?

Hope: You know, just you and mom. Your lives, the decisions that you’ve made.

Deacon: Oh, boy.

Hope: Mm-hmm. Obviously, dad, I know that you are a good man, but you know, once upon a time, maybe you didn’t make the best choices and kind of gave into your desires and maybe you were a little impulsive.

Deacon: Well, you know, it is true that I’m not exactly a paragon of restraint but, you know, had I not given in to some of those desires, you, my darling daughter would not be sitting here in front of me. But you’re not like that. You don’t have to worry about it. Everything looks so good.

Ridge: Charlie. Charlie. No, no, no, no. It’s– it’s a simple question. Is my passport in the safe? No. Okay. Thank you.

Eric: Leave charlie alone. You do this every time and–

Ridge: And every time, I find it. It’s okay.

Rj: I’m gonna remind mom about hers tonight. I’m sure that she knows where her passport is.

Ridge: You’re being very helpful. Thank you so much. Ha!

Rj: Hey!

Eric: We’re all so happy. We’re all so relieved. Now, what about taylor?

Ridge: What about her?

Eric: You said that she expressed the desire to maybe come along?

Rj: Whoa, wait a minute. Taylor’s gonna tag along with you to rome?

Ridge: It’s a big moment for her son.

Eric: Yeah. No question about that. But like you said, this is a business trip and I’m not sure that taylor tagging along is a very good idea. Especially with brooke there.

Brooke: Yes, I am going to rome. In addition to the preview and the press event, I will also be meeting with the top suppliers and our very important buyers.

Taylor: I’m just– I’m just glad that you– you get to be there to support your daughter.

Brooke: Yeah, she has a lot riding on this and she’s going to be center stage, so of course, I would be there to support her.

Taylor: You know something? I was thinking about going too.

Brooke: Oh, you’re just gonna tag along?

Taylor: You know, I actually mentioned to ridge that I’d like to be there to support thomas.

Brooke: When did you mention that to ridge? Before or after you told him that I haven’t changed and that I never will? Which is a complete lie, by the way. Oh, and then you told him how much you missed him.

Taylor: Yeah, it was the same conversation that you overheard. I guess you missed that part. Anyway, wouldn’t it be fun if we were on the same flight together?

Brooke: No, that is absolutely ridiculous. This is strictly business. This is forrester creations fashion. You have nothing to do with that, taylor. So, there’s absolutely no reason for you to be there.

Deacon: Sweetheart, look, I’m not putting your mother down. I mean, far from it. And without a question, brooke is one of the most exciting, passionate women on the planet, but she is also impulsive, like me. In the past, that’s gotten us both into hot water. Especially when it comes to affairs of the heart. Somehow, miraculously, we didn’t seem to pass that gene along to you. And you know, you’ve got a set of values that you live by, you know? You don’t let your emotions and your passions run wild. Frankly, I don’t know how you do it. I mean, I think you’re a saint.

[ Hope chuckling ]

Hope: No, dad. I am not a saint.

Steffy: Look, I’m not trying to cause you to question hope or make you paranoid, but my concerns haven’t changed.

Liam: Like, I’ve talked to hope about this and– and she’s assured me so many times there’s just nothing to worry about.

Steffy: Yeah, I– I realize that. But I also think she might be a little confused right now.

Liam: I know where you’re coming from. Like I know your intentions are good. It’s just the more I consider this, the more I gotta think you’re mistaken.

Steffy: I hope so. I– I really hope I’m wrong. But just to be safe, maybe you should come to rome. Welcome to my digestive system.

Rj: Granddad left pretty quickly to go see donna. Do you think everything’s okay?

Ridge: Oh, I– I think everything’s more than okay. This kind of stuff happens quite a bit.

Rj: Oh? Oh.

Ridge: Well, I’m glad we have this time alone together anyway because I wanted to talk to you. This trip that I’m taking with your mom to europe, don’t read too much into it.

Rj: Now, look, you know me, I’m– I’m allergic to the family drama. I hate all this stuff. I don’t want to get involved in any of it. But dad, mom is your destiny and you know it. The world knows it, including rome.

Taylor: Hey, brooke, it’s okay. I just– I just mentioned that I’d– that I’d like to go.

Brooke: Do I really need to say this again? You’re not in fashion, taylor. You’re a psychiatrist, you analyze people’s minds, not what they wear, so there’s really no reason for you to be there.

Taylor: You just don’t want me to go because you wanna jet off to rome just to be with ridge.

Brooke: Need I remind you I’m a very big part of forrester creations? I created the belief formula, the men’s line, taboo, and the very successful brooke’s bedroom line and now hope has her line, hope for the future.

Taylor: And that would have been pulled if it wasn’t for my son. So of course, I’d love to be there to support him.

Brooke: We all know why you want to be there. I can see right through you.

Deacon: It’s great to see you guys again. Thank you. Hey, what’s going on? You seem like you’re kind of down. Was it something I said?

Hope: Oh, no, no, no. No, it’s not– it’s not you. I just, um, have a lot going on in my life right now.

Deacon: You mean like resurrecting your company, an international fashion preview and maintaining your family? A little bit of advice. Honey, sometimes I think you might be a little hard on yourself. I mean, you’ve got all these– these goals and all these expectations and that’s fantastic. It’s important. But don’t forget to be human, all right? You know, let yourself have a little fun. It’s okay to make a couple of mistakes every now and then. You know, follow your passions.

[ Hope chuckling ]

Hope: Thank you. Uh, not exactly the advice that I was looking for, but um, it is appreciated. I need to be getting home to liam and the kids.

Deacon: Come here. Listen, you be careful, all right? But I want you to have a good time. I want you to make some memories. I know you’re gonna crush it in rome.

Hope: Thank you, dad.

Deacon: Okay, go get ’em.

Steffy: It’s totally up to you, but I think it would be wise to come along.

Liam: So funny. Wyatt said the same thing.

Steffy: And?

Liam: And uh, like I told him, I just, I refuse to be that guy that like insecure husband who’s keeping tabs on his wife.

Steffy: You’re not being insecure.

Liam: Yes. My wife works with your brother. I wish she didn’T. There’s nothing I can do about that, but it’s for all the reasons you and I both know. It has nothing to do with like a lack of faith in my wife.

Steffy: I know that. You have faith in hope just like I have faith in thomas. And I get this is hard for you and I’m not trying to add to it. How about I just keep an eye on things in rome? Just in case.

Rj: Look, I know that it– it sounds like I’m trying to push you and mom together, but I’m not, okay? It’s your lives, it’s your futures.

Ridge: But?

Rj: But, we both know if thomas hadn’t have done what he did, you and mom would still be together.

Ridge: Oh, stop it. I’ll always love your mom. Never gonna go away. We’re adults. We’re– we’re trying to break this cycle of pain and disappointment.

Rj: Okay, I get it, but I mean, unless you’re trying to join the clergy–

[ Ridge laughing ] I’m just saying.

Ridge: No, I know you’re just saying and I’m just saying, brooke and I, we don’t want to hurt each other anymore or the people we care about, including you.

Rj: Okay, I hear you. I’m just– I don’t know. Someday. Destiny. Maybe in rome.

Ridge: Yeah. All right.

Taylor: Wait a second. So– so you can see right through me? At least one of us is transparent, huh? All right. I just, I think that there’s– there’s more going on to this than you’re telling me. What is it?

Brooke: Okay. Yeah. There is. Um, I’m just a little bit worried about ridge.

Taylor: Why?

Brooke: I just feel like he’s lost, you know? Like, lost his faith.

Taylor: Lost his faith… in destiny? Oh, my god. That’s what it is. I’ve been right this whole time. Oh, god. So, you and ridge have been growing closer and– and now you’re going to rome to make him believe in love again. Oh, god. That’s what– I’m right. That’s what it is.

Brooke: Ciao, taylor.

Liam: Hey. Um, I just put the kids to bed.

Hope: Hm. Uh, well, I, uh, wasn’t working late with thomas, if that’s what you were wondering. I actually went to see my dad before I leave for this trip tomorrow.

Liam: Are you hungry? I can fix you something.

Hope: No, that’s okay. I’m just– I’m going to say goodnight to beth and douglaS.

Liam: Actually before you– just… because you already brought it up. But one last time, here’s my thing about thomas. It– it– it’s just–

Hope: Liam. Liam. Could we please not do this tonight? I’d really like our last night together to be one that’s peaceful and not talking about any of that. I mean, liam, look at me. I love you. More than anything. You’re the man I want in this life that we’ve built together as a family. I will not let anything jeopardize that. I made my vows to you, to love and to cherish you and nothing’s going to change that in the next few days, okay?

Liam: Yeah. No, I know.

Hope: I love you.

Liam: I know. I know. I know. I love you too.

Hope: Rome– rome’s going to be exciting. I mean, this might be one of hope for the future’s biggest successes and– and then I will be able to come home to you, to our family, to our life.

Liam: Yeah.

Update written by Joseph

Chad calls Stephanie and asks if she’s still preparing for the zoom meeting. Stephanie confirms that she thinks they are all ready to go and asks if he is on his way. Chad informs her that he’s actually not going to be able to make it. Stephanie asks if everything is okay. Chad tells her that he just has something he needs to take care of and he’s sorry. Stephanie offers to drop by his place after to fill him in. Chad doesn’t know if he’ll be free but says he’ll let her know. Stephanie says she will talk to him later then. Chad says goodbye and hangs up. Chad then goes to visit Abigail’s grave.

Bonnie is at the Kiriakis Mansion while on the phone with Sarah, assuring that she will keep her secret and won’t tell another living soul that she is pregnant with Xander’s baby. Bonnie hangs up and comments on Sarah being so wound up. Justin enters and is excited to see she’s home. Bonnie kisses him and says she missed him. Justin asks her to tell him everything about her trip to Chicago.

Chloe joins Xander at the Spectator office and delivers a major ad buy which impresses Xander, who says he told her she would be great at the job. Xander asks if she’s glad she didn’t quit now. Chloe admits today’s been a really great day and she thinks it’s because Gwen is not around.

Dimitri arrives at Gwen’s room but is shocked when Leo answers the door. Leo tries to pretend not to know him. Dimtiri brings up what happened in Phoenix and says it changed the course of his life. Leo jokes that he remembers him as Agent Kyle Graham and tries to shut the door but Dimitri stops him and says they have unfinished business, so he’s not going anywhere until it’s finally settled. Leo asks if he did something to offend him. Dimitri walks in and asks if stolen jewels ring a bell. Leo claims not really but then acknowledges when he swapped out the priceless emerald for a phony. Leo blows it off as a silly prank while Dimitri argues that it ruined everything for him. Leo apologizes and says he didn’t realize his prank was going to ruin his plans for world domination. Dimitri argues that it wasn’t about world domination but the money as he cost him a fortune. Dimitri grabs Leo and declares that now he’s going to make him pay.

Chloe asks Xander where Gwen is anyway. Xander responds that she apparently has some exclusive interview with Dimitri. Chloe comments on hearing he’s a dirtbag. Xander hopes it will drive their numbers and comments that at least it keeps Gwen out of Chloe’s hair for today. Chloe decides she should get back to work. Xander suggests she take a break so they can spend some time together. Chloe asks if they should keep things professional at the office. Xander agrees but says he can’t stop thinking about last night and specifically their kiss. Chloe admits she can’t either. Maggie then walks in and asks if she’s interrupting. Chloe says not at all as Xander asks what brings her by. Maggie says she’ll get right to the point and mentions having to let Alex go. Maggie then reveals that she would like to offer Alex’s job to Xander.

Alex goes to see Stephanie. She asks what he’s doing there. Alex asks if it’s a bad time or if Chad is there but Stephanie informs him that he’s not. Alex says he just wanted to come by and give her the good news that he’s officially employed again. Stephanie says that’s great, assuming that Maggie took him back. Alex confirms that Maggie did offer to rehire him, but he turned her down.

Chad lays roses at Abigail’s grave and says he can’t believe it’s been a year since they lost her. Chad talks about how it feels like just yesterday they were happy together, raising their kids and talking about having another baby. Chad says he could picture exactly what their lives would be like. Chad comments that sometimes it feels like he never lost her. Chad then hears a noise that startles him and he calls out to Abigail but it was Julie arriving with flowers. Julie says if Chad wants his privacy, she’ll come back later but Chad insists that she stay. Julie places her flowers at Abigail’s grave. They talk about Thomas and Charlotte visiting Jack and Jennifer in Boston. Chad blames himself for the kids acting out lately. Chad feels they know it’s the anniversary of their mother’s passing coming up. Julie encourages that Abigail is watching over him. Chad says he hopes so and wonders what she would think of him and Stephanie.

Stephanie questions Alex turning Maggie down and asks how he’s employed again then. Alex reveals that he took a job at DiMera which Stephanie questions. Alex explains that his cousin Brady offered him a position at Basic Black, so he took it. Stephanie comments that he’s working for the competition then and questions how Maggie feels about that.

Xander questions Maggie wanting him to work at Titan again. Maggie points out that she’s floated the idea before so it can’t be a surprise. Xander feels that Victor would never approve but Maggie says it’s not up to Victor and the only person that needs to be on board is him, so she asks Xander what he says.

Bonnie shows Justin pictures of her granddaughter Emily. Justin asks about Sarah. Bonnie questions why on earth he would ask her about Sarah. Justin explains that Sarah lives in Chicago and works with Rex, so he figures Rex must have mentioned her. Bonnie admits she saw Sarah, so Justin asks how she is. Bonnie says she’s good, claiming that she’s exactly the same and hasn’t changed a bit. Bonnie gets nervous and gets up to get water. Justin asks what’s going on with her. Bonnie says it’s nothing but Justin notes her being nervous, so he asks if there’s something wrong.

Leo asks Dimitri not to hurt him and offers to help him with whatever he wants. Dimitri responds that he only wants revenge. Leo then screams for Gwen to help him. Gwen comes out from the bathroom and questions what is going on. Leo tells her that Dimitri is trying to kill him. Gwen tells Dimitri to let him go but Dimitri says this is none of her concern. Gwen says it is as she reveals that Leo is her best friend. Dimitri asks if Gwen has any idea what Leo did to him. Gwen says no and she doesn’t care. Gwen threatens to call the police. Dimitri argues that she doesn’t understand. Gwen asks Dimitri if he wants to go back to prison or not.

Stephanie questions Alex not being worried about how Maggie and Victor feel. Alex says hell no after how they treated him. Alex argues that he and Brady would both still be working at Titan if it wasn’t for Victor’s decisions and remarks that if Maggie is such a good CEO, she won’t mind a little healthy competition. Alex says he just wanted to tell her the good news, but he should probably get going before Chad shows up and finds them together and he doesn’t want to piss Chad off. Stephanie responds that she doesn’t think Chad is showing up today as she’s pretty sure he’s with Abigail.

Chad tells Julie that he and Stephanie have been seeing each other for awhile now. Julie says she likes Stephanie, calls her a lovely person and notes that she’s wonderful with his children. Julie adds that Chad always seems happier when they are together. Chad admits that he is, but he still sometimes feels guilty for being with someone other than Abigail. Julie understands that he will always feel Abigail’s presence in his heart, but she thinks Abigail would want him to make room in his heart for someone else because she would want him to be happy. Chad tells Julie that after they found out Clyde killed Abigail, he came to her grave and he saw her and she told him to move on. Julie guesses that must have been comforting. Chad says it may have just been wishful thinking and hearing what he wanted to hear.

Bonnie tells Justin that nothing is wrong with her at all. Justin asks if she’s sure because she seems to be acting strange. Bonnie blames it on jet lag. Justin points out that she drove and they are in the same time zone. Justin can tell something is really upsetting her so he asks her what is going on. Bonnie states that Justin is her husband but also an attorney, so she gives him a dollar to be her attorney and says now they have attorney-client privilege. Justin questions if she did something illegal. Bonnie says of course not but she has a secret and her tongue’s going to explode if she doesn’t tell somebody. Justin asks her what it is. Bonnie then reveals that Sarah is pregnant with Xander’s baby.

Xander asks Maggie if Sarah won’t be upset if she hires him. Maggie says she might be but she knows she’s fond of him. Maggie admits part of her hopes Sarah will forgive Xander and come home someday. Xander doesn’t see that happening and says he’s not sure he’s ready to abandon the newspaper yet. Maggie thought he was already taking a step back because it was so awkward working with Gwen. Xander says it has been awkward as hell, but certain things about the job have improved recently. Maggie tells Xander to take some time to think about it, but notes that she does need to replace Alex soon and she hopes it’s with him. Xander says he’ll get back to her as soon as possible. Maggie hugs Chloe and says it was good to see her, adding that she loved her birthday gift from Chloe’s son Parker. Maggie reminds Xander to think about it as she exits the office. Xander tells Chloe that was unexpected. Chloe says Maggie obviously thinks very highly of him. Xander says he feels the same about her, but he’d be crazy to go back to work at Titan. Chloe asks why he didn’t just say no then. Xander says he didn’t want to be rude but Chloe suggests maybe deep down, he actually wants the job.

Gwen asks Dimitri to call a truce with Leo or she’s going to call the police. Dimitri then gets a text from Megan, reminding him that marrying Gwen is the key to unlocking his fortune. Dimitri then tells Gwen there is no need to call the police and apologizes to Leo for manhandling him. Leo says he has to get to work and calls Gwen a lifesaver as he exits. Gwen tells Dimitri that she knows Leo is a lot, but he has a good heart and he makes her laugh. Gwen asks if Dimitri is still willing to do the interview. Dimitri says of course. Gwen says she made a lunch reservation at the Bistro but Dimitri asks why not just do it here where it could be a lot more intimate.

Stephanie tells Alex that Chad was being very vague about his plans, but she figured it had to be important if he was blowing off a client meeting and then it hit her that today is the one year anniversary of Abigail’s death, so she’s sure that Chad just needed some time to process that. Alex asks why he wouldn’t just say that. Stephanie guesses it’s just something he has to deal with on his own. Alex is sure it’s still very painful for him. Stephanie asks how it couldn’t be. Alex adds that one thing he noticed is that Chad still wears his wedding ring. Stephanie admits she noticed that too. Stephanie says they haven’t talked about it but she totally understands that it must be hard to let go. Alex is surprised she’s so chill about all of this and living in Abigail’s shadow. Alex then apologizes, saying it came out wrong. Alex remarks that she somehow has to share Chad with Abigail’s memory. Alex calls her a strong person, so he knows she can handle it, and that Chad is really lucky to have her. Alex calls her understanding, caring, and says she doesn’t pressure Chad about anything. Stephanie thanks him and says that was kind and insightful. Alex credits Marlena’s therapy. Alex says he really does hope that Chad is okay.

Julie tells Chad that she knows it seems impossible that he actually saw Abigail, but maybe he did. Julie says they’ll never know, but she knows whether Chad imagined her or not, she knows Abigail would want him to get on with his life. Chad says he knows that sometimes, but other times he has an overwhelming feeling of guilt, like he’s betraying her. Chad says maybe he made up his vision of Abigail to give himself permission to be with Stephanie. Chad notes that it’s only been one year. Julie stops him and tells him that there is no timetable for grief and no right or wrong way to mourn. Julie calls guilt corrosive and says it will steal all of his happiness if he lets it. Julie tells Chad that he deserves to be loved and to have happiness for himself and for his children too, so they can see their father living a full life. Chad agrees. Julie points out that Chad is still wearing his wedding ring and says it’s none of her business but asks if wearing it is holding him back from moving on. Chad admits that maybe it is but he hasn’t been able to bring himself to take it off because he’s afraid that if he does, it will make it final and he’ll really let her go. Julie encourages that Abigail will never be gone as she will always be with him in his heart and no ring will prove that to him. Julie thinks Chad feels guilt because he’s here and Abigail’s not. Julie says life is a gift, so they should treasure every bit of it that they get because it’s brief and limited for all of them. Julie urges Chad to forgive himself for finding love again and wanting to move in to the future. Julie tells Chad to be thankful for all the moments.

Gwen tells Dimitri that she thinks it’s best that they keep things strictly professional. Dimitri claims he wasn’t thinking otherwise, just that restaurants are crowded and noisy, so he thought the interview might be better here so they are not disturbed. Gwen supposes he has a point. Dimitri offers to order room service so he can make up for getting off on the wrong foot with a fresh start. Gwen thanks him for lunch and for the interview. Dimitri states that normally, he detests interviews but for some reason, he’s looking forward to this one as something tells him that they are going to get along. Dimitri then calls to order room service.

Xander admits to Chloe that part of him would just love to go back to Titan as he used to dream about being part of the family business and finally feel like he belonged. Xander adds that it would be so satisfying to go back and rub it in Victor’s face by showing him that he made a mistake by not believing in him. Chloe jokes that she could see why that would be satisfying. Chloe guesses that Xander is taking the job then. Xander responds that he’s actually going to turn it down because as much as he enjoys spending time with Maggie, he enjoys spending time with Chloe much more. Chloe points out that they already live together. Xander feels it would be unfair if he abandoned Chloe at the job and left her with Gwen. Xander guesses he’s staying for her as they kiss.

Justin questions how on earth Sarah could be pregnant with Xander’s baby when she left town months ago. Bonnie explains that she was pregnant before she left but didn’t tell anybody, because she thinks Xander is a dangerous criminal and is trying to protect her unborn child. Justin understands since Xander did hold Bonnie and Susan hostage. Bonnie points out that did lead to Susan’s death. Justin questions why Sarah told her if she didn’t want anyone to know. Bonnie explains that she ran in to her and it’s kind of hard to hide her pregnancy at this stage. Bonnie adds that she tried to convince her that Rex was the father but she didn’t believe it, so Sarah finally confessed but begged her not to tell anyone. Bonnie complains that it was such a huge secret that she had to tell someone. Justin says he understands. Bonnie reminds him that this has to stay between them as no one, not even Maggie, can know that she’s pregnant. Maggie then comes home and asks who is pregnant and why she’s not allowed to know. Bonnie says it’s not just her, but no one can know, because she wants to keep it a secret. Maggie asks who, so Bonnie claims it’s her daughter Mimi that is pregnant and she doesn’t want people knowing until she’s through her first trimester. Maggie agrees not to say a word but calls it wonderful news and says Bonnie must be thrilled. Maggie admits she’s a little jealous, because she would love to be a grandmother again. Maggie then exits the room.

Xander and Chloe kiss in the office until Leo walks in and interrupts them. Leo says he just came for his paycheck. Xander hands it to him. Leo thanks him and asks if Xander is busy or if he has time to talk about his next column. Xander says he’s busy, so Leo will have to wait because someone else needs an answer from him ASAP. Xander then exits. Leo remarks on that being Chloe’s idea of platonic and calls it interesting. Chloe asks him not to say anything to Gwen because she hates her enough as it is. Leo says that Gwen has been over Xander for ages and is having lunch with a hot new hunk as they speak.

Gwen tells Dimitri that most of their readers view him as a James Bond type villain who threatens to obliterate entire cities to get what he wanted. Gwen knows that’s part of his story but she’d like to move beyond that and learn about the real Dimitri Von Leuschner. Dimitri asks what she would like to know. Gwen suggests starting at the beginning and asks what his childhood was like. Dimitri explains that he was an only child, raised mostly by his mother. Dimitri says he loves his mother dearly but she can be quite needy as she went through a lot before he was born. Dimitri says it sometimes felt like he was the adult in the relationship. Gwen says she knows what that’s like and asks about his father. Dimtiri says they didn’t have much of a relationship because he was always off on business and when he was home, he was cold, distant, and not much of a father figure. Dimitri remarks that he may as well have been absent from his life altogether. Gwen says it sounds like an awfully lonely childhood. Dimitri supposes it was but says he grew up with great wealth and is aware of how lucky he was, but looking back, he would’ve traded it all in for a modicum of unconditional love, if that even exists. Gwen thinks it does. Dimitri comments that she’s less of a cynic than he is then. Dimitri says when you’re deprived of love, it starts to eat away at you and to cope with it, he developed sort of a “me against the world” mentality and he’s never been able to shake it. Dimitri supposes that mentality has driven many of his less prudent life choices, like using weapons of mass destruction to bend governments to his will. Dimitri adds that in prison, you spend a lot of time with yourself, alone with just your thoughts and start to wonder how you hit rock bottom. Dimitri states that he realized his need for power and money was all born from the lifelong desire just to be loved. Dimitri tells Gwen to feel free to scoff as he realizes how wildly cliché that sounds if she thinks he sounds like a self-pitying narcissist. Gwen says she doesn’t and that she relates to it.

Julie tells Chad that she should get going, but she hopes he takes her advice to heart. Chad says he will and he appreciates everything she said. Chad calls her so wise and caring, noting that she really helped him. Julie says anytime he wants to talk, she’s always around. Julie tells Chad that she loves him. Chad says he loves her too as Julie then walks away. Chad sits down at Abigail’s grave and removes his wedding ring. Chad says he wants Abigail to know that when he saw her that day, he meant what he said, that he will love her forever as he then puts the ring in his pocket.

Chad goes to see Stephanie, who says she didn’t think she’d be seeing him today. Chad says he just wanted to come apologize for missing the meeting today. Stephanie says it’s okay. Chad says the truth is he went to go see Abigail. Stephanie says that’s what she thought. Chad apologizes for not telling her. Stephanie says he doesn’t owe her an apology. Chad kisses her and asks how the meeting was. Stephanie says it really good and they just finished right before he got there. Stephanie adds that the client wants to see the numbers he crunched. Chad says he has them and pulls them out of his bag. Stephanie notices Chad is no longer wearing his wedding ring. Stephanie then tells Chad that they will get to work as they sit together.

Gwen asks Dimitri if he’s still looking for that perfect love. Dimitri supposes that he is. Gwen asks if there’s anyone special that he fancies. Dimitri says sadly, no. Gwen asks if there ever has been. Dimitri admits there was someone that he thought was perfect for him, but he kept getting hurt until he finally had to walk away. Dimitri thinks Gwen might know what that feels like. Dimitri admits that last night, he overheard her speaking to Kristen and that she said she wanted to put someone named Xander behind her so she could start over with someone new. Dimitri apologizes for eavesdropping but says he’s secretly glad that he did because it made him realize they have a connection of sorts. Gwen tells him that it’s true that since hearing his story, she thinks it’s quite uncanny how much they have in common.

Chloe questions Leo about Gwen being on a date when she thought she was interviewing Dimitri. Leo confirms that she is, but one thing could lead to another. Chloe hopes he’s right because if Gwen is happy and moves on then she’s less of a problem for her and Xander. Leo says even if Gwen is out of the picture, what about Sarah Horton. Chloe asks what about her since she and Xander were over long ago and she doesn’t even live here anymore. Leo points out that even still, her spectre still loomed large over Gwen’s relationship with Xander. Leo remarks that Gwen always played second fiddle to Xander’s beloved Sarah and asks who’s to say that won’t happen to Chloe too. Chloe calls that ridiculous and assures that Sarah and Xander are done for good. Leo says if she says so and then exits.

Bonnie asks Justin if he thinks Maggie bought her story. Justin says they can hope so and jokes that she might need to let Mimi know that she needs to get pregnant right away. Bonnie says it’s all she could think of and that it’s all Justin’s fault anyway which he questions. Bonnie remarks that she was a much better liar before she met him and now she’s out of practice. Justin takes that as a compliment. Bonnie calls it a blessing and a curse because now she feels guilty about lying when she never used to. Bonnie brings up Maggie saying she can’t wait to be a grandmother again. Justin says that Sarah will eventually have to tell Maggie and she can’t keep the secret forever. Bonnie thinks Sarah just needs time to figure it out. Justin says she better do that soon because he’s not sure how much longer Bonnie can last with the secret. Bonnie insists that Justin is the only one she’s going to tell. Justin kisses her and says he has a client to meet as he then exits. Bonnie tells herself that she can keep Sarah’s pregnancy a secret easily but she’ll just have to stay away from Xander. Xander then enters the room.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Daniel: I understand how urgent this is, but there is a right way and a wrong way to clear mom.

Summer: Okay. What would be so wrong with finding a witness that saw the whole thing?

Daniel: It’s a fake witness. One who could make matters worse 20 different ways.

Summer: What about my idea to find, um, the emt? Carson. He– he saw what stark did.

Daniel: He’s also a fugitive. He was a part of the plot. He’s not a credible witness. He’d be lying under oath, which means he’d be tacking another felony onto his record. Look, say that you did, by some miracle, convince this guy to do what you’re asking for some huge sum of money. Carson would hold that over your head for the rest of your life. He’d continue to extort you. You’d never be rid of him. Not to mention the fact that he might invent details that– that contradict mom’s story. I just think that the whole plan isn’t realistic.

Summer: Okay. You’re just throwing out worst case scenarios. This actually could work.

Daniel: Summer.

Summer: No, we need to find carson. We need to at least talk to him. All he has to do is tell the police that he saw mom act in self-defense.

Daniel: Oh, that’s all he has to do, huh?

Summer: Stark paid him to be an accomplice, so clearly, he can be bought. So, what, I– I find him, I give him a big bag of money and he says what I want him to say.

[ Daniel scoffs, sighs ]

Victor: I don’t care how damn busy you are. I wanna know what judge is responsible for today’s arraignments. Exactly. Get back to me. All right? Don’t give me a– what? Get to it.

Nikki: How is that going?

[ Victor groans in frustration ]

Victor: All I know is that I want our son out of that jail cell. He doesn’t belong there.

Nikki: As soon as cameron showed up in town, I think everybody expected this. I mean, there was bound to be a showdown.

Victor: Of course there was bound to be a showdown. Question is how to resolve it.

Nikki: I think we need to let michael do what he does best. He will get nicholas out as soon as possible. In the meantime, have there been any cameron sightings?

Victor: Uh-uh. And if that punk knows what’s good for him, he won’t show up anywhere near this house or our family.

Nikki: We’ve done what we can. Michael will keep us updated. So, in the meantime, why don’t we focus on our work and let him focus on his?

Victor: I know you’re trying to distract me. Good idea, too. There’s some business I want to discuss with you.

Nikki: Oh, the anderson deal. I have it right here.

Victor: No. I wanna talk to you about nate hastings. How’s he doing?

Nikki: You mean since he has started seeing victoria?

Victor: No, overall.

Nikki: I have to say, very well. He has made good decisions for newman media.

Victor: Good to know.

Nikki: I understand you’ve taken him under your wing.

Nate: My day was productive. Yours?

Victoria: Mine was… it was extremely productive.

Nate: Really?

Victoria: Yeah.

Nate: Why do you suppose that is?

Victoria: I don’t know. For some odd reason, I was just filled with energy.

Nate: Mm.

Victoria: Maybe it was that private meeting that we squeezed in before we went to the office.

Nate: Oh, you mean upstairs in the newman corporate suite?

[ Laughing ] You know, come to think of it, I was pretty invigorated myself afterward.

Victoria: I think we got a lot accomplished upstairs.

Nate: An amazing amount.

Victoria: We you usually do, though.

[ Nate chuckling ]

[ Phone chiming ]

Victoria: Oh, I’m sorry. I meant to turn my phone off.

Nate: No, go ahead. It’s fine.

Victoria: Sure?

Nate: Problem?

Victoria: Oh, my– my brother got arrested.

Nate: Oh, boy. What’s adam done now?

Victoria: No, not– not adam. Nicholas.

Nate: Are you serious?

Victoria: Yeah. Look, sadly we’re gonna have to cut this short. Excuse me. Can I please get the check?

Faith: I don’t understand how this can happen. That cameron kirsten freak is a criminal who killed a cat and dad is sitting in jail?

Sharon: Michael is a very sharp attorney. He will get your father out of there and out of trouble. Though it may take some time.

Faith: How much time? I never would’ve agreed to leave town if I’d known that you’d be alone.

[ Knocking on door ]

Chance: It’s chance.

Faith: How could you arrest my father?

Michael: Hey. How you doing? You hanging in there?

Nick: How do you think I’m doing? Kirsten is lying. These charges are a joke. It’s a setup to get me out of the way so I can’t protect sharon and faith. He’s obviously planning something, which means you have to get me out here now!

Michael: I appreciate the urgency, but you’re not gonna be arraigned ’til later today. And frankly, seeing how wound up you are right now, this might be the safest place for you. When migraine strikes, you’re faced with a choice.

Additional sponsorship provided by…

Daniel: Summer, we are not paying someone to lie to the authorities.

Summer: I still say–

Daniel: No, no, no, no, no. Look, we have broken enough laws already trying to help mom. Let’s not add any more to the list. People have gone to prison for a lot less. You wind up in a cell, how are you gonna help mom do anything?

Summer: I’m just thinking how mom would think. This is how she would approach things.

Daniel: Yeah? How’s that working out for her? She has screwed up her life beyond recognition. I mean, even she would tell you not to do this. It’s– it’s– it’s crazy, one, and it wouldn’t work.

Summer: You know what? If that’s your attitude, fine. I don’t need your help.

Nick: What do you mean you think it’s safer for me in here? Are you kidding me?

Michael: Nick! Nick, I am on your side.

Nick: Are you sure about that, michael?

Michael: I know exactly what I’m dealing with. All right? If you’ll recall, I was the first to hear about cameron, how vicious he is. Years ago, sharon told me what happened in denver before she admitted it to anyone else. The man is a disgusting pig, but he’s not stupid. In fact, he’s got you all figured out. You didn’t even touch him, and where are you? In jail. Out of commission. Because cameron anticipated that you’d come for him and he used it like a judo move against you. Pretty damn elegant if you ask me. Now, you are gonna stay in here for an hour or so and calm down while we wait for your arraignment. In the meantime, chance is with sharon, looking out for her. I mean, her own private special forces expert. I’ll even check on her, too, on my way.

Nick: Just make sure that sharon is safe and you keep cameron kirsten away from faith.

Michael: I give you my word. Between chance and me and victor’s security team, there’s gonna be a whole lot of people watching over them.

Nick: And I’m grateful for that, believe me. But I’m afraid that cameron is planning something, and once he puts it in motion, there may be no stopping it.

Chance: Cameron kirsten filed a complaint against your father. His face was beaten. And nick did admit to going to his hotel room, and his hands were bruised, so I had to follow the law.

Faith: Dad punched the wall. It is his word against cameron’S.

Chance: Well, the truth has a way of coming out in court.

Faith: Well, it needs to come out now. Dad shouldn’t be in jail. He shouldn’t have to deal with any of this. And he should be here with mom.

Chance: I understand that this guy is a creep, and that’s why I’m here. Since nick can’t be with you, I’m here to protect you.

Sharon: You are such a wonderful young woman. And I promise you, we will all be together again soon. But if you’re going to catch your flight, you better scoot.

Chance: I have a plainclothes officer outside in an unmarked car. His name’s officer swift. He’s gonna drive you to the airport and escort you to the gate. I’m gonna stay here with your mother so all bases are covered.

Faith: I hate leaving you with this guy in town.

Sharon: I am not afraid of him. And I do not want you worrying about me. You text me from your seat before you take off. Promise me.

Faith: I will.

Sharon: All right. Give me a hug. Okay. Remember to drink water. Stay hydrated. Those planes are very dry.

Faith: [ Chuckling ] Okay. Hydrate. Got it.

Chance: Come on. I’ll walk you out.

[ Kissing ]

Faith: I love you. Bye.

Sharon: I love you. Safe flighT. And we’re done.

Sharon: I really appreciate you coming by. But shouldn’t you be out there looking for cameron?

Chance: Well, I got my team and victor’s guys on high alert. I’m gonna stay put, if that’s okay? I’m sure as hell not gonna leave you here alone. Plus i told nick I’d look after you. So, just feel free to ignore me and go back to business.

Sharon: Well, I can’t just putter around you like you’re the furniture.

Chance: Ah, sure you can. I’ll blend right in. You’ll be mistaking me for an old ottoman in no time.

Sharon: [ Laughing ] Somehow I doubt that.

Chance: It’s nice to hear you laugh again.

Sharon: Well… you’re a positive influence. And not just on me. I appreciate you being so reassuring with faith. These past few days have been tough on her.

Chance: Yeah, she’s a good kid.

Sharon: Now that she’s off to college, the time I have with her is really precious. You know, a few short years from now she’ll be graduated and off on her own, and– and then I’m really gonna miss her.

Chance: Well, I can tell how much you two love each other. I doubt she’ll end up very far away from home.

Sharon: I hope not. Having to send her away like this is agonizing. It’s one of the reasons why I’m so angry with cameron. You know, I want this house to be a haven for faith.

Chance: Yeah, I understand that. I kinda wanted something similar at my place for dominic. Didn’t really work out for me.

Sharon: Well, it’s tough when you’re trying to keep your kids safe.

[ Knocking ]

Chance: It’s okay.

[ Phone ringing ]

Summer: Mom.

Phyllis: Hey, I’m glad you picked up.

Summer: I’m glad that we got you out of there when we did. Kyle brought chance straight to your room.

Phyllis: Yeah, that was a good call. I’m sure they’re still looking for me.

Summer: Yeah. Everybody wants to know where you’re hiding and they think that I’m keeping the secret.

Phyllis: Well, that’s why I’m not letting you know. Not that I can’t trust you.

Summer: It’s my own fault that kyle found you in the first place and I– I’m gonna make it up to you.

Phyllis: What? You have nothing to make up. Are you kidding me?

Summer: No, I’m gonna– I’m gonna find that emt that was in on the plan with you and stark– carson. I’m gonna find him and I’m gonna make him go to the police and say that he saw stark attack you and that you had to defend yourself.

Phyllis: No, you are absolutely not going to do that, summer.

Summer: Mom–

Phyllis: No, I mean it, summer. If anyone’s gonna find the emt, it’s gonna be me. You got it? He broke so many laws. I’m sure he’s very far from genoa city right now.

Summer: But… if I paid him enough–

Phyllis: Summer, I mean it. No! I’m gonna take care of this on my own now. Okay? I’m gonna come up with a plan. Please trust me. I don’t wanna pull you and daniel into any of this mess anymore. What I want you to do is go to kyle and work on your relationship. Fix it. Okay?

Summer: I don’t even know if that’s possible.

Phyllis: Anything is possible. Go try. All right, super girl? Listen, I have so much to make up for. I can’t have your marriage on my conscience.

Victoria: Hi. So–

Nikki: Hi, guys.

Victor: Oh, hey.

Victoria: What’s the latest? Is nick okay? I’m assuming that cameron is behind this.

Nikki: Yeah. Who else? As far as we have heard–

Victor: Your brother is being arraigned momentarily. Michael baldwin will call as soon as he’s finished with the hearing.

Nikki: We’re confident he’ll be released on bail.

Victoria: [ Scoffs ] As usual, nick couldn’t help himself. He had to take matters into his own hands. You know this isn’t gonna reflect well for the company.

Victor: Nicholas denies he attacked the man.

Nikki: You know, that is such classic cameron. It’s all based on his twisted vendetta against your brother and sharon.

Victoria: I don’t doubt that’s an element. But we all know how aggressive nick can be when he’s protecting the people that he loves.

Victor: And if you recall, that helped you a great deal, didn’t it? Anyway, michael baldwin will, I’m sure, solve the problem. He owes me one.

Nikki: I trust him implicitly.

Nate: Michael is one of the best.

Victoria: On a personal note, I sympathize. Cameron is a horrible excuse for a human being. But as ceo, I have to be practical. Nick and sharon helped to put him away for murder. All it’s gonna take is a reporter with an ax to grind, to connect the dots in other areas. And that, dad, is the last kind of publicity that we need.

Victor: What are you talking about?

Victoria: Until this conflict is resolved and he clears his name, I’m gonna ask nick to take a leave of absence. Ladies…

Nikki: A leave of absence?

Victor: What are you talking about?

Nate: Uh, clearly this is a family matter, so I’ll excuse myself, if you don’t mind.

Victor: Thank you, nate.

Nate: I’ll talk to you later.

Victoria: Yeah.

[ Nate clearing throat ] Nick has one priority right now: Protecting his family.

Victor: As he protected you from ashland locke.

Victoria: Exactly. We don’t wanna draw attention to nick taking the law into his own hands. It’s the right solution for both him and for the company.

Victor: Sweetheart, it isn’t your call to make.

Victoria: Well, what do you think, mom? How do you feel about nick trying to deal with work while getting himself out of this legal trouble, while protecting faith and sharon at the same time?

Nikki: I agree with your father. I mean, yes, he needs to focus on his family, keep them safe. I’m happy to cover for him, but I don’t think we should call it a formal leave of absence. That would just raise more questions.

Victor: Just personal time off. End of story. No one else’s business.

Victoria: Okay. Well, you can call it whatever you wanna call it, but I want nick to be free to focus his energies where they belong right now.

Phyllis: I’m gonna do things on my own now, summer. Okay? I made a mistake. I put you in a horrible position. But I’m going to take care of everything now. All right?

Summer: But, mom, I can help you. The only thing that I wanna do right now is bring you home. And if getting carson to cooperate is what it takes–

Phyllis: No! Summer, I mean it. This is non-negotiable. You got it? Drop it.

Summer: [ Scoffs ] Fine. You win. What are you gonna do now?

Phyllis: Um, I’m not quite sure, but you don’t need to worry about me. You know me. I’m gonna come up with something. But what I want you to do is go to your husband. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be okay.

[ Sighing ]

Sharon: Nick must be climbing the walls in there.

Michael: No, he’s just anxious to have this arraignment over and done with.

[ Sharon sighing ]

Sharon: I thought that this nightmare was behind us, michael, a long time ago, when cameron got sent to prison.

Michael: Look, this time, you went straight to the authorities. You did the smart thing.

Sharon: I remember you begging me last time. “Tell nick, go to the police. Don’t try to handle this maniac on your own.” But I… I was just too terrified. I couldn’t bring myself to do it.

Michael: We’ve handled everything correctly this time. And I’m– I’m here to help.

Sharon: And we are eternally grateful.

[ Whispering ] I think I lost my mind last time. And… I– I cannot have that kind of violence or cruelty in my life again. And I will be damn sure that faith never experiences anything like that.

Michael: Um, detective, I don’t wanna alarm you, but, um… uh, nick thinks that cameron is up to something. And I’m afraid I have to agree.

Chance: Yeah, I think so, too. Now that he’s got nick out of the way, feels like he might make a move soon. All’s quiet on the ranch so far, though.

Sharon: Well, I am so glad that faith is going far, far away from here.

[ Phone ringing ]

Daniel: Hello?

Phyllis: Hey.

Daniel: Hold on a second. Okay, I think we’re good.

Phyllis: I need you to listen to me very, very carefully. You need to protect your sister. You need to protect her before she goes too far. Trelegy for copd. Hi, my name is tony cooper.

“The young and the restless” will continue.

Sharon: If cameron is planning something, I need to be ready. I wish there was some way we could know what he was planning and when he was going to attack.

Chance: We’re working on that. Don’t worry about it.

Sharon: Well, I’d be thrilled if you found a reason to arrest the creep. It’s the waiting that’s killing me.

Michael: Yeah. Unfortunately, it’s all part of the process.

Sharon: Well, in the meantime, every creak, every gust of wind has me thinking it’s cameron lurking somewhere.

Michael: Well, maybe we’re all mistaken and he’s not gonna pull anything tonight because of the beefed up security. But I would like to get a restraining order.

Chance: That’s a great idea.

Michael: If you agree, I’ll try to push it through asap.

Sharon: Yes. If you think he’ll abide.

Michael: Well, if he doesn’t, he’ll be cooling his heels in a jail cell somewhere. Now, let me head into town. I will set it in motion. There’s not really very much left I can do here right now.

Sharon: Okay. It’s going to be another long evening and a sleepless night.

Chance: Well, don’t worry. I’ll be here, so you can rest. Tomorrow may be tense.

[ Phone ringing ]

Michael: Oh, I’m sorry. I should take this. Summer, what’s up?

Summer: I’m at society. Can you meet me? It’s about my mom.

Michael: Your mom? Um… uh, uh, I’ve got some time before nick’s arraignment. I can be there in 20.

Summer: Okay. I’ll see– wait, nick’s what?

Daniel: Oh, you’re worried about summer? What did she tell you? Her ridiculous plan?

Phyllis: Yeah, she did. And I told her in the strongest possible terms not to pursue it. I was adamant, but I’m afraid she’s just gonna do what she wants anyway.

Daniel: Yeah. You’re probably right.

Phyllis: Okay, so, listen. This emt guy, his name is carson. He’s really sketchy. And not only that, he was really, really scared, which is not a good sign. I mean, he stole two bodies from the morgue. He faked two deaths, and then he lied to the police. He’s probably long gone by now, I’m sure.

Daniel: You’re sure or you hope?

Phyllis: I don’t know. But listen, daniel, if she confronts him with the truth and he knows that now his cover is blown, who knows what he’s gonna do. That just can’t happen. You have to make sure she doesn’t do this. Please. We don’t wanna mess with this guy.

Daniel: I tried to talk her out of it, but no such luck.

Phyllis: Well, you have to try again. Whatever it takes, daniel, you have to. Please. I gotta go.

Daniel: Hey, hey, wait, wait. Mom. Where are you? Does summer know?

Phyllis: No, she doesn’t know. And you’re not gonna know either. I’m gonna take care of myself from now on. I’m gonna come up with a plan. I’ll be fine. I need you and your sister to back away from this. I’m gonna keep you safe from now on.

Michael: Summer.

Summer: What’s going on with my dad?

Michael: Um, he ran into some trouble. It’ll be taken care of in… hold, 45 minutes.

Summer: But he’s in jail?

Michael: Well, for now. Talk to him when– when he gets out. He’ll tell you what happened. You both will have a good laugh over it.

Summer: Oh, god. My dad is in jail. My mom is on the run.

[ Chuckling ] What is happening in my life? What–

Michael: Summer, I’m taking care of your dad. It’s just a big misunderstanding. Really. Don’t worry about him. Now, tell me what’s happening with phyllis. Have you seen her?

Summer: Yeah, I have. And I– I– I think that she’s nearby, but she– she won’t tell me where she is.

Michael: Good. SmarT.

Summer: I have a plan to bring her home safely.

Michael: [ Grunts ] And you need my help?

Summer: I need you to help me find the emt that stark paid to help with the whole faking mom’s death thing. Carson.

Michael: Yeah. I know who he is. The guy’s a crook. What could you possibly want with him?

Summer: I wanna convince him to be a witness. Say that he saw stark abusing my mom. Say that she had to act in self-defense. And then we can get her off the hook for murder, at least. And I will pay for it. You don’t have to worry about that part.

Michael: Okay. Okay. Look, everything you just said, we are not going to do.

Summer: I’m trying–

Michael: No way, no how.

Summer: I’m trying to find a solution.

Michael: Yeah. Well, you would be committing serious crimes with a wanted man to aid and abet another fugitive. I mean, we’re talking about fraud, obstruction, witness tampering, conspiracy to suborn perjury– that’s just the beginning. Look, n– the answer is no. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Have I made myself clear?

Summer: Okay, you sound like my mom and daniel.

Michael: Yeah. Well, then listen to all three of us tell you to forget this unworkable scheme.

Summer: Michael, you’re supposed to be my mom’s oldest and dearest friend. Do you not think that we owe it to her to help her try to come home without a prison sentence?

Michael: Sweetheart, you know my history. I’ve been there. I’m not breaking the law. I’m not doing for phyllis. I’m not doing it for anyone. And I’m not encouraging you to do so.

Summer: So, what, then? She’s just– she’s just doomed? I’m– I’m not ever gonna see my mom again? And I– if she gets caught, she’s gonna spend the rest of her life in prison.

Michael: All right, all right, all right, you might wanna take that down a notch. Because hysteria really doesn’t work with me. No, I– I am, I am grateful that you brought up this carson character. I don’t want you anywhere near him. But he could be a critical piece of this puzzle.

Summer: Wait. Seriously?

Michael: Yeah. He could legitimately testify that stark was the mastermind behind phyllis’s fake death, and about his darker tendencies, which may have caused phyllis to kill him in– in– in self-defense.

Summer: So, you do think that he could help with her case?

Michael: Potentially. It’s a long shot. We have to locate him, we have to convince him to return to the jurisdiction and– and expose himself to possible arrest.

Summer: But there’s hope. That’s what– that’s what matters. There’s hope.

Michael: Only if you swear not to make any moves on your own, or to get your hopes up too high. Then– then I will do everything I can to follow up on this angle.

Summer: It has to work. She has to come home.

Michael: There’s one caveat. I don’t have the necessary resources for a, um… well, something this delicate. You may have to bring in the big guns. If you have heart disease and are on a statin, deliciously flavored at the turn of a dial, with zero sugar and zero calories. And cirkul has over 40 flavors, so your water can be as unique as you are. Try cirkul, available now at walmart.

[ Victoria sighing ]

Nikki: When did you wanna go over your brother’s projects and divvy them up?

Victoria: However you wanna allocate them is fine by me.

[ Keyboard clacking ]

Nikki: You seem a bit agitated.

Victoria: Well, I have work a pile high. It’s late. I’d like to get out of here at a reasonable hour.

Nikki: Big plans with nate?

Victoria: I didn’t say that.

Nikki: Well, I can’t help wondering if your relationship is influencing your decision about your brother’s status.

Victoria: My concern is for nick and the company. Nate has nothing to do with this.

Nikki: Well, let me ask you this. If nicholas were to walk away from newman for whatever reason, would you consider elevating nate to that position?

Nate: Nick’s dealing with some serious issues that require his full attention.

Audra: Hmm.

Nate: Victoria’s gonna ask him to take a leave of absence.

Audra: Creating an opening you could take advantage of.

Nate: Even if it’s temporary, it will give me a chance to show what I’m capable of at that level, without nick around constantly breathing down my neck.

Audra: Mm. And bring me one step closer to running newman media.

[ Nate chuckles ]

Nate: Here’s to us. Advancing our plan.

Audra: [ Laughs ] I’ll drink to that.

Kyle: Summer’s not here.

Daniel: Actually, I came here to talk to you.

Kyle: Why?

Daniel: Because I’m worried about her. She’s desperate. She’s trying to come up with ways to help mom that are risky. They– they don’t make any sense. And she’s not gonna listen to me but she might– she might listen to you. I mean, that is if you’re willing to talk to her. Are you? Can you forgive her just a little bit?

Victor: Michael baldwin, why aren’t you getting my son out of jail?

Michael: Oh, well, I’m headed to the arraignment right after this meeting.

Summer: Hi.

Victor: Hello, sweetheart.

Summer: Thank you for coming, grandpa.

Victor: Yep. Thank you. So, what is this all about?

Summer: Um… we need your resources to, um, help track someone down. Carson, the emt from the night of the gala. We think that he could help my mom’s case, but we need to find him first.

Victor: So, you want my investigator to find a criminal to help another criminal, your mother? And by the way, you, mr. Baldwin, you left my employ to help diane jenkins, against my wishes.

Michael: Well, it was proven she was innocent. So, I did the right thing. That should pardon some of my sins.

Victor: How would that pardon phyllis’ sins? Why should I lift a finger for a woman who has caused so much hell and stress for my granddaughter?

Chance: So, rey and I pull up on the scene, right? It’s this possible burglary in process. Apparently what happened was this couple was walking into their house with groceries. The husband was telling the wife a joke, and after he hit the punchline, they heard somebody laugh upstairs.

Sharon: [ Gasps ] Oh, my gosh. No. How creepy.

Chance: Yeah. So, they drop their groceries, they run outside, they call the cops, right? Rey and I get there. We go upstairs and we find nothing but an open window and nothing stolen.

Sharon: Oh, too bad you didn’t catch the guy, but…

Chance: Yeah.

Sharon: At least nobody got hurt.

Chance: True. True. But the– the lesson here is, right, if you’re a burglar, don’t laugh.

[ Both laughing ] Come on. Come on. What’s up? Something wrong?

Sharon: Faith. She should have texted me by now to let me know she’s okay.

For your most brilliant smile,

Victoria: Mom, I’m not trying to push nicholas out of the family company, if that’s what you’re asking. I love working with him. I do. I– would I prefer it if he kept his opinions about my personal life to himself? Of course, I would. But other than that, I love having him here working alongside us.

Nikki: Well, that’s very interesting, but you didn’t answer my question.

Victoria: Okay, then. Let me be more direct. If nick came to me and told me that he was leaving newman enterprises permanently, then yes. I would consider having nate take over as coo.

Kyle: Look, I don’t want to talk about this.

Daniel: Oh, I’m sure you don’T.

Kyle: I’ve got no problem with you. Okay? You’ve been decent through all of this. But this whole thing with summer lying and pretending not to know where phyllis was while framing my mom, it’s just too much.

Daniel: Hey, listen, man, I was furious with her, too. But when I spoke with her earlier, she was so stressed out. She’s not thinking straight. And I hate to say it, but when she feels like she has her back up against a wall, she’s a lot like our mother. And I’m worried that she’s gonna do something reckless thinking that it’s gonna help her.

Kyle: Daniel, as upset as I am with summer, I still love her. And the last thing I want is to see her hurt. But as far as you asking me to step in, I think you’re expecting too much.

Daniel: Why?

Kyle: Because it wouldn’t do any good. The way things are between summer and me, it’s pretty obvious my wife doesn’t give a damn what I say or do anymore.

Summer: Grandpa, this is my mom that we’re talking about. And I love her. And I know that you love me. Gosh, I just want her to be able to come home without a murder charge hanging over her head.

Michael: Victor, however this turns out, phyllis is not gonna be going home to a bed of roses. She has a lot of consequences to face for her actions. And so does carson. He has committed a multitude of crimes that he’ll have to answer for, which doesn’t make him the most credible witness, but at the moment, he’s all that phyllis has got.

Summer: Look, I’m not over what she did. Not at all. She made me and daniel suffer so much. But after thinking that my mom was gone forever, I just want her back home.

Victor: I understand how you feel, my darling. But every fiber of my body is against the notion of bringing phyllis back into this town. I mean, after all she has done, all the damage she has done to so many people, and most of all, to you.

Summer: Does that mean that–

Victor: Well, if you look at me like that, I’ll help you find carson.

[ Exhales in relief ]

Chance: Anything?

Sharon: No.

Chance: Maybe the flight got delayed.

Sharon: Faith would’ve said that to me. She would’ve told me that, too.

Chance: Look, we’ll give her a ring. See if she– see what the deal is. Call her.

[ Phone ringing ]

Sharon: Straight to voicemail.

Chance: Okay. Well, it could be airplane mode, right?

Sharon: No. Faith, she promised me, she promised she would check in. She wouldn’t neglect to do so.

Chance: Let me call swift, see what the deal is. Hold on.

[ Phone ringing ] It’s voicemail.

[ Sharon sniffling ] Oh, my god.

Chance: Hold on. Hold on.

Sharon: Chance!

Chance: Hold on, hold on. Give me a second.

[ Phone ringing ] Yeah. Hey, this is detective chancellor, genoa city pd. I need to know if a faith newman is on the passenger manifest for trans-global airlines flight 875. Yeah, I was scheduled to, uh– to leave genoa city a half hour ago. Yes. I’ll hold.

Sharon: I just– I don’t like this. I don’t like this one bit, chance. I don’t like this.

Chance: All right. Thank you.

[ Faith crying ] The flight took off. Faith wasn’t on board.

Sharon: No! No! No! [ Sobbing ] Chance!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

just so we’re clear — I don’t like the fact that you’re going to keep working for sonny, but I do understand why. It’ll be a lot safer this time. Oh, good. Maybe you’ll get shot less. Sonny can’t catch me spying for michael because I’m no longer spying for michael. Okay, well, I’m still going to worry. Nice to know someone cares about what happens to me. Get used to it. You’re not alone anymore. Hey, uh… truce?

[ Siren wails ]

[ Telephone rings ] 10th floor.

[ Indistinct conversations ] Just a moment, please. They’re asking to speak with the head nurse. I’ll take it. This is the head nurse. Elizabeth baldwin.

[ Breathes sharply ] Oh, I’m so sorry. Unfortunately, nurse johnson is no longer with us. Thank you. Yes, she was a — a very special person. Of course I can. I’ll transfer you. Mm-hmm.

[ Receiver clicks ]

[ Sighs ] I still miss her. Me, too. All the time. But being here is when I miss epiphany the most. Austin: Hey. Mm. There’s something going on out there. Do you know what’s going on out by the pool? Apparently, somebody fell. They called the paramedics. Anyway, have a seat. Oh, thank you. This is cozy, right? A public place but still away from it all. Well, I thought privacy would be best, considering we’re talking about betraying the most dangerous man I know. You okay? Yeah. Would you believe me if I told you I was?

[ Chuckles ] Is this still about what happened after I got back from nixon falls? Because that’s all — I — you have to — you have to know that’s all behind us, right? Mm. We’ve — we’ve both done things that we regret. You have. I have. And guess what — you move forward. Yeah. Sonny and I are engaged. Oh. Not for long. Gee, ned, most people say, “congratulations.” Nina, just accept the fact that you and sonny will not be living happily ever after. You know, that tip was anonymous. There’s no way that anyone will be able to prove that you did it, ned. Because I didn’t do it —

you did. I know that we’ve moved on from what happened back then. What’s the problem? It’s just… I will always regret the pain that I caused you. I’m not leaving you, ned.

[ Sniffles ] Not for one single second. What happened? Okay, um… drew attacked ned. He practically killed him! Put your badge to use and arrest him for assault! Drew attacked my dad? W-wait. What? Th– that — that is not what happened. Ned came charging in here, and it looked like he tripped on something, hit his head, and fell in the pool. It was an accident. It was attempted murder. Okay. If anything, I saved his life. I went in the pool, and I pulled him out before he drowned, tracy. You were covering your tracks. Oh, my — if it had just been the two of us, you would have let him drown. Well, that — that doesn’t sound like drew. This is not the first time he attacked ned.

[ Sighs ] He sucker-punched him back at the house. You were there. You saw it. Brook lynn? That’s true, but — what are you waiting for? Arrest him. Tracy, this is not the time! They’re taking your father down in the service elevator. I’m going to ride with him in the ambulance. I’m right behind you. Okay. I’m going, too. Do your duty.

[ Radio chatter ] Hey… hey, I-I mean… I was nowhere near ned when he fell, okay? I — are you seriously going to arrest me?

As I’m settling in as the new head nurse, I’m trying not to compare myself to epiphany, but rather do the job to the best of my ability. But there are moments… when I forget that she’s gone, and I just wish so badly that I could ask for her advice or have her listen to me vent or watch her make some arrogant doctor twitch in fear. You liked that, didn’t you?

[ Chuckles ] Very much so. Hmm. A little less fun, though, when you’re on the receiving end. Oh, please. She liked you right from the start. And if she was tough on you, it was only because she knew you could do better. Yeah, I just hope I lived up to her expectations. Well, if you didn’t, she would have told you. Yeah, she would, wouldn’t she?

[ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] It is so hard to say goodbye to her. I loved her. She taught me so much — never to take this place for granted. That’s one of the perksof medicine, isn’t it? It’s never boring. It’s never finished. There’s always something left to learn. Very upbeat and optimistic of you. Hmm. You sound surprised. Not really. You’re a lot more hopeful than you want people to believe. Don’t worry. Your secret is safe with me.

[ Chuckles ] You’re still angry? Yeah, I am. But I’m also grateful that you gave mom the footage of sonny and pikeman, even though you refused to use it. Did she tell you that she destroyed the flash drive? She did. And that was her choice. Oh, well, at least you’re giving people choices now. Unlike dex. Joss — you did everything he asked you to do, and you are leaving him out to dry. Actually, that is not true. I want to hire dex again.

[ Breathes sharply ] I have another job for you.

[ Indistinct conversations ] Drew! There’s something I have to tell you. Ned! Zeke: Drew? Hey. Zeke. Hey, hey, hey. I’m glad you’re here, actually. Hey. What’s — what’s going on? And why are you wet? I, um… my cousin ned came in here,and he tripped and hit his head. He fell in the pool. I had to go in and — and — and rescue him. I gave him cpr. He wasn’t breathing. I-is he going to be okay? I don’t know. He was unconscious when the paramedics dragged him out of here. Wait, is this the same ned that ratted out you and carly spencer to the sec? That’s him. Drew. Please tell me you didn’t — you didn’T… no! I-I didn’t do anything. I was — I was nowhere near him. Un– unfortunately, right now, it’s my word against his mother’S. And his mother is tracy quartermaine. Ohh. And no one else saw what happened? Afraid not. Try and understand. I-I think there’s more dangerous things in this world than sonny corinthos. Well, maybe for you, but sonny can keep avery away from me, and nothing in this world would be worse for me than losing my child. I-I think you’re just not using your imagination.

[ Scoffs lightly ] You know, I’m really — I’m — I’m sick of these vague portents of doom. Okay. Well, how’s this for doom? M-mason is capable of making sure that you never see avery or anybody else ever again. Forever. I know mason isn’t the one calling the shots. He reeks of errand boy. But is that all he is? Mason is a lot of things — many, many things, and none of them good. I don’t really understand what you’re asking. You want — you want to narrow it down a little bit for me? Could mason be acting on his own? Without his boss knowing? We settled this a long time ago. Why are you dredging it up now? I’m just — I’m just in a mood, s-sonny. One that I don’t necessarily want to be in. Hey. Are you still working? Or can I tempt you away? Well, I mean… …you always tempt me.

[ Chuckles ] What do you — what do you have in mind? Uh, well, what I want, what I really want is — feel my heart? Mm. I do. Let’s get out of here. Let’s go home, get into bed… .. .and let’s pretend the restof the world doesn’t exist. Ned quartermaine — do you know where he is?

[ Voice breaking ] Holy mary, mother of god, pray for us sinners now and… olivia? How is he? Did he wake up in the ambulance? No, he didn’T. But I was talking to him the whole way there. I just hope that he could feel that I was there with him.

[ Sniffles ] Is that where he is? Yes, but you can’t go in there right now. Do you know how much money my family has given to this hospital? Nobody’s stopping me. Tracy! Mother to mother, I respect that ned is your son. But if you interrupt his treatment right now and he dies on that gurney, I promise you, we will be having a double funeral. Okay.

[ Crying ] Have the doctors said anything? No, no, no, no. Dr. Ashford is in there with him right now. Finn. Ned has a head injury. Finn: Oh. Dr. Ashford is with him right now. Do you know dr. Ashford? I do. I do. He’s a — he’s a very talented intern. No, no, that’s not good enough. I want you to examine him. Oh, I’m — I’m — I’m not a neurologist. I don’t care. Okay, I’ll take a look. You have another job for dex? After you left him hanging? That’s unbelievable. Let’s go. Joss, wait. I want to hear his offer. You don’t owe him any more favors. Michael hired me to spy on sonny. That’s a job, not a favor. What do you want me to do?

[ Scoffs ] I want you to do what you’ve already been doing. Keep working for sonny. What?! So he can risk his life getting more evidence that you won’t use?

[ Sighs ] I don’t need you to gather evidence. I need you to keep an eye on sonny. Protect him.

This is a 180. Yeah. Five minutes ago, you wanted sonny in prison. Yeah. Besides, sonny already pays me to protect him. Yes. Which is why this will work. All you have to do is keep doing what you normally do for sonny. If you get wind of any trouble from pikeman or anyone, report back to me. To what end? So I can help him. No. No, michael, this is insane. You’re putting dex right back where he was, spying on sonny for you. You can’t possibly think this is a good idea. Josslyn… this was my idea. Sonny: I like the way you think, but, um, I’m waiting on a call from brick. Mm. Are you choosing brick over me? Well, you know, brick and I go way back, and you’re like a — a close second, like a photo finish. Now you’re comparing me to a horse? Well, not just any horse. A racehorse.

[ Both laugh ] Consider me swept off my feet. Alright. I’m — I’m going to talk to brick. Shouldn’t take too long. And then you’re going to have me. And for the rest of our lives.

[ Indistinct conversations ] Olivia: How is ned? Is he awake? Is he talking? Can we see him? Yeah… we managed to stabilize ned, but he’s still unconscious. We’re gonna take him for a ct scan, alright? Um, we believe there might be some swelling in the brain. A specialist will meet us at imaging and — and go over the scans as they’re being taken. How bad is it that he hasn’t regained consciousness yet? It’s entirely too soon to jump to any conclusions. Soon? Feels like we’ve been waiting forever. I know. And I know the waiting is hard. But I promise you, ned’s getting the best possible care.

[ Crying ] Can you, uh… can you tell me what happened? I don’t know. I wasn’t there. By the time I got to the pool area, he was already on the ground and the paramedics were all over him. I was there. I saw everything. Drew cain flew into a rage and attacked him. Oh. O-okay. Why wouldn’t — why would drew do that? Because he is convinced that ned turned him in to the sec. He wants revenge. Hey, drew, would you come down to the station and answer a few questions? What? No, not without his lawyer present. Um, chase, this is my attorney, zeke robinson. This is detective harrison chase. He’s also a family friend. It’s good to meet you. Same. I just need to get your official statement. And why can’t you do that here? Well, an accusation has been made. As such, it’s customary to do this down at the station. But by all means, his attorney should be present. Look, my client is soaked from rescuing his cousin, ned. Yeah, it’s — it’s fine. Why can’t this wait? It’s fine. It’s fine. It’s fine. I’m perfectly happy to go down and answer some questions. No problem. Could you excuse us a moment? Uh, sure. Hey. Hey. What’s going on? Don’t you want to go to the hospital and be with your family? Yeah, but, I mean, if I go there now, tracy’s going to start pointing fingers. She’s probably already telling everybody in earshot that I tried to kill her son. Great. I’ll prepare the slander suit. In the meantime, we got to make this thing go away as quickly as possible, okay? The last thing we need is — is tracy’s wild accusations to complicate our case with the sec. Another dead end?

[ Sighs ] Yeah. Uh, no, I know you’re not giving up, brick, and I’m not giving up, either. Alright. Talk to you soon.

[ Breathes sharply ] Bad news? Eh, brick’s trying to track down some information for me. It’s just taking a little longer than I thought. So, um, you know, if you — if you — if there’s any way you want to distract me a little… well, I’ll try my best. Alright.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

[ Chuckles ] Ignore it. No. Ignore it. I-I-I… aaah, I’m sorry. Hold on.

[ Ringing continues ] It’s brook lynn. Yeah. Okay. Just calm down. I’ll be right there. What’s going on? Uh, ned fell, hit his head. He’s at general hospital. Oh, my god. Is he going to be okay? I don’t know, but — but brook lynn was very upset. And ned didn’t tell them what happened? He’s unconscious. I got to go. I got to go. Oh, yeah. I-I’ll go with you. Hey, sonny. I’ll go with you. Okay, let’s go. Okay. Are you certain that mason is acting on orders? And could it be that he’s just torturing us for the hell of it because he likes having power over you? He does like having power over me. But he’s not the one calling the shots. Who is? And how do we get out from under them? Ava, I have been trying for years to get out from under them, and it’s just not possible. That should tell you how powerful these people are. And I know you don’t want to hear it, but the best course of action — for you. For both of us is for you to do what mason wants you to do. And go against sonny? That’s suicide. You are avery’s mother. That protects you with sonny. Exactly. But if you don’t do what mason wants, it could get us both killed.

[ indistinct conversations ]

[ Crying ] Oh, sonny. How did you know that we were here? How did you — I called him. Okay, so, um, what do we know? Practically nothing. They took dad for a ct scan. Did he wake up? Did you talk to him? No, no, no. He’s — he’s unconscious, sonny. He’s — sonny. He’s going to be okay. He’s a fighter. They’re taking care of him. You don’t understand. And he wasn’t breathing. I’m so sorry that this is happening. Yeah, well, so are we. Um, sonny and i were shocked when we got your call, brook lynn. And this is a horrible accident. Tracy: It wasn’t an accident. Drew tried to kill ned. Okay. I know you’re upset, tracy, and you want to blame somebody, but drew had nothing to do with this. I can state it right now. Oh, god. Of course you’d say that. You always deny crimes that have actually been committed. I mean, why wouldn’t you defend a former navy seal who’s trained to kill? Why would a man like that ever get violent? I-in a public place? In front of you? What part of “in a rage” do you not get? Olivia: Oh, tj.

[ Breathing deeply ] How’s my husband? So you want dex to continue to risk his life, but instead of risking it to put sonny in jail, he’s risking it to protect him? I want dex to keep doing what he’s been doing. The only difference is you have michael as backup if there’s any trouble. Why are you doing this? And don’t say donna and avery. Michael: No, you’re right, joss. This goes beyond our baby sisters. Yeah. This is about keeping us safe and moving on. Except dex can’t move on if dex gets caught this time. Joss, can I talk to you… privately? I need you to think about what we said. An d I want you to understandhow important this is. Don’t tell me you’re actually considering it.

[ Recorder beeps ] Chase: Detective harrison chase to interview drew cain in the matters of injuries sustained by ned quartermaine this evening at the metro court hotel pool. Also present is drew cain’s attorney, zeke robinson. Mr. Cain, you are here voluntarily. Is that correct? I am. Could you walk me through what happened? Tracy quartermaine and I, we were in the pool area. Um, ned came rushing out. He — he was calling my name. Kind of came around the corner. Seemed like he tripped on something. He went down, hit his head, immediately rolled into the pool. Facedown, unconscious, bleeding. I went in. I pulled him out of the pool. I determined that he wasn’t breathing. I checked for a pulse. There was no pulse. I started performing cpr. I told tracy to call 911. And…I mean, that’s that, until the paramedics showed up and — and they took over. Thank you. Some follow-up questions. You said you and tracy were at the pool area. Were you alone? Yes, we were. What were you doing? We were talking. About? Business. Family. Quartermaines, they kind of go hand in hand. It’s kind of an odd place to discuss business, don’t you think?

[ Scoffs ] What tracy and I needed to speak about required privacy. Yo u said ned quartermainewas rushing toward you? Yeah, he was — he was walking very quickly. Yes. Did the two of you make any contact before he fell? Absolutely not. He didn’t even come remotely close to me. Why do you think tracy quartermaine would say otherwise? No, you don’t have to answer that. My client is not a mind reader. Fair enough. Why do you think tracy made that accusation?

[ Sighs ] Tracy and I are at odds. Family issues, I guess. Detective, there’s something you should see.

[ Recorder beeps ] I will be right back.

[ Sighs ] Talk to me. How are you doing? How am I doing? I mean, I’m — I’m fine. I’m just worried about ned. Me, too. Because from what you told me, he’s your best shot at making these insider trading charges go away. As requested, here’s the security camera footage from the metro court pool area. Hmm. Let’s take a look. Ned has sustained a tbi, a traumatic brain injury. When he fell, the impact of his brain against his skull caused his brain to swell. What is that exactly? We can see some physical damage on the scans, but we won’t know the extent of any cognitive damage until he regains consciousness. My dad is still out? Isn’t that bad? Not necessarily. The body often shuts down to devote all of its energy on the injury — the brain in particular. It will actually reroute neural pathways after an injury, but that takes time. So, this respite may actually assist in his healing.

[ Crying ] Okay, but what if ned doesn’t wake up tomorrow or the day after that?

[ Sniffles ] Well, the longer ned remains unconscious, the longer we go without a clear sense of how and where his brain has been affected.

[ Crying ] Mr. Quartermaine is also suffering from hypoxemia. Tracy: Which is? Just let him speak. Don’t you talk to me that way. Shh! Dr. Ashford, please continue. Hypoxemia means the oxygen level in mr. Quartermaine’s blood is low. This indicates that his brain was deprived from oxygen for a brief time.

[ Voice breaking ] Okay. Are you saying that my dad… may never wake up? Mason wants inside information on sonny and this pikeman. Mm-hmm. Well, good luck with that. Sonny doesn’t discuss his business with me. I mean, we share a child together. That’s it. And honestly, that’s the only reason he didn’t kill me years ago. No, sonny barely tolerates me. He certainly doesn’t trust me. Okay. Okay. Well, you’ll just have to figure out a different way to get the information.

[ Breathes sharply ] How, exactly? Ava, you’re really smart. You’ll — you’ll — you’ll figure it out. You can — you can listen to his conversations. You can go through his papers —

[ Chuckling ] Yeah, right. Because sonny just leaves incriminating documents tying him to arms dealers and paramilitary contractors just lying around. Okay, now you’re just — I mean, that’s about as likely as him having a conversation about it near enough that I could overhear it. You n do it. You can. And I-I know you can. You just got to think outside the box. Au stin, the feds have beenafter sonny for decades. They — they — they use actual undercover agents and surveillance equipment. And you’ve probably noticed that the guy is walking around a free man. How could I possibly do any better? Well, you — you know him. So you can do better because you know all of his vulnerabilities and his weaknesses and you know how to use them against him. Uh-huh. And what makes you think that? Because — because we share avery? Uh-huh. We may both love our daughter, but she was hardly conceived in a moment of mutual regard. Okay. But you still have access because of avery — you got to help me out here. You got to help you out here. Sonny is avery’s father. I’m not going to betray him like that. You should rethink that. Because… w-w-when mason talks about taking sonny down, he’s not just talking about sending him to prison. W– wait. Mason wants to kill sonny? All of avery’s life, right, I’m imagining that sonny’s made you walk this emotional tightrope and jump through these hoops. And — and when was the last time he tried to take avery away from you? Well, he did that a lot. But not — not — not lately. Okay, but what if he does again? M-maybe next week or next month or next year or next time he feels grumpy. Come on. Ava, wouldn’t your life just be, like, a little bit better if sonny were gone for good?

Is my dad in a coma? It’s too soon to tell. Oh, that’s what doctors say when they have no idea what’s going on.

[ Voice breaking ] Tj, can we see ned? Yes, he’s in the icu. One visitor at a time. Nurse sirtis. Uh… you can go first.

[ Breathes deeply ] Just tell daddy that we’re here, and we love him, and we’re waiting for him, okay? Mm-hmm. Right this way, mrs. Quartermaine.

[ Crying ] Okay.

[ Sighing ] I’m thinking about taking the job. Were you not just telling me how much safer you would be now that you’re not spying for michael? I’m not going to be spying. I’ll be protecting sonny. He doesn’t need your protection. I think he does, joss. Look, sonny’s business is changing. The people he’s dealing with are extremely dangerous. What else is new? No, this is different. Look, pikeman is massive. The scope of its resources and connections… they’re global. He has brick. Who’s based on the west coast. He can’t be with sonny day to day — I can. Why would you want to? Because sonny needs someone who’s going to have his back. Okay? Someone who’s not going to sell him out for more money. Someone who’s not going to cut and run when things get dangerous. Okay, someone like me. Why does it have to be you? Because I won’t be doing it for the money. I’ll be doing it for you. I can’t even think about the sec charges right now, zeke. No problem. That is why I am here. Look, when I pulled ned out of the pool, he wasn’t breathing. I felt like I was performing cpr forever. That — that is not good. Look, and I don’t mean to sound callous, but you are my client, and I’m always going to do what’s best for you. Okay. Alright. Fine. Just go ahead. Will tracy drop the accusation when she’s had a chance to cool down? Absolutely not. No. Tracy wants to neutralize me. And by “neutralize,” you mean what? It’s better you don’t know. Oh. Great. Something every attorney loves to hear. Look. Look. Tracy’s accusation…

[ Sighs ] …Is just a temporary nuisance, okay? Whatever the — the pcpd drag up, that’s going to show — that’s going to prove that I’m innocent. Eventually. Hopefully. But if you’re charged with attempted murder, the us attorney’s office will never accept your plea deal. Brook lynn: Chase! Oh, I’m so glad you’re here. Hey.

[ Sighs ] How — how’s your dad doing? Has he — has he woken up yet?

[ Sighs ] I am so sorry. Tracy: Detective! Oh, here we go. I trust your presence here means that drew cain is safely locked up in a jail cell? About that. I am here to see if, with time to reflect, you would like to amend your statement. Why would I want to do that? I know what I saw. I’m the only one that witnessed drew cain’s vicious attack on my son. Why would you think that I would want to change a word of that? Because… the metro court security camera caught the entire incident. Plain as day.

Well, it looks like dex is considering my offer. Josslyn: So, don’t even think of saying that helping sonny would help me. Dex: No, all I’m saying is I think I could do what michael is asking me — no, sorry, what michael is willing… mm. Joss doesn’t look happy. Josslyn: And don’t say… but I think dex can convince her. Dex: To what end? There’s no way dex is going to disappear. Not as long as he keeps looking at josslyn like that. We talked about this. I already decided I’m not leaving town, and my best option is to keep working for sonny. It’s in my best interest to keep him on top. Okay, and with michael involved… how is that remotely a good thing? Because michael is smart, okay? And he understands the business. He can’t advise sonny directly, but he can do it through me. I just hate that my family is putting you in this position. I made my choices, okay? My eyes have been wide open the whole time. Well, did anyone ever tell you that you make really bad decisions? I don’t know about that. Look where they’ve led me. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I do not want sonny dead. I mean, once upon a time, maybe. Why not? I will not deprive avery of her father. Okay — she loves him. With sonny out of the way, you get full custody. No. Stop it! You never have to worry about him… I will not be a party to killing sonny! …Ever taking your child away from you, ever again. Ava, I’m just trying to convince you of something that you already know to be true. You’re trying to manipulate me! No. That’s what you’re trying to do. I’m — and this may shock you, but I don’t take kindly to that sort of thing. I’m being honest with you. That’s what I’m doing. If you do this one thing —

[ Chuckles ] “This one thing.” You only want me to do it because if I cooperate, then mason will leave you alone. Oh, ava, please. Mason is never, ever, ever going to leave me alone. It’s like you refuse to believe how dangerous these people really are. Because I need context. I need names. I can’t give you their names. That should tell you everything you need to know about these people. Ava, believe it or not, I am trying to protect you. Why? Okay. Well, you’re not boring, are you, ava? You’re never boring, even when you’re at your worst. And when you’re at your best, you say mean things that make me want to hear you say more mean things. It’s true. You get me right here. It’s like the — the — the burn you get after a strong drink. Comparing me to cocktails. You trying to flatter me or something? Maybe. Partly, but not entirely. Ava, we can do this… if we do it together. You witnessed a traumatic event involving your son. Your first impressions may not have been accurate. In light of the security footage, would you like to rethink your official statement? Look, it all happened really fast. I was very upset. I thought my son was going to die. Spit it out, tracy. It…might have — he might have slipped and fell.

[ Breathes deeply ] Okay, just to be clear, drew cain was not the aggressor. Just like alexis wasn’t driving that car. It was an accident. Okay? Now, is olivia going to stay with ned all night? I’d like to see my son. Thank you. I know you cut my grandmother some slack. I’m just glad that we cleared it all up. I’m sure drew will be pleased to know that it’s over.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Monitor beeping, respirator hissing ]

[ Voice breaking ] Can I touch him? You can hold his hand.

[ Sobs ]

[ Crying ] I’m here, ned. Just like I said I’d be.

[ Sniffles ] Your daughter’s here. Brook lynn. Your mother’s here, breathing fire on your behalf.

[ Chuckles ] We’re all here, just trying to hold it together for you. But you got to wake up.

[ Sniffles ] You got to wake up. I love you so much. Now, you’ve got to come back to us.

[ Sniffling ] No. You got to come back to me.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Sobbing ]

[ Police radio chatter in distance ] Mr. Cain. Detective chase just called. You’re free to go. So, my client

isn’t being charged? No. According to the witness, mr. Quartermaine’s fall was an accident. Detective chase wanted me to thank you for your cooperation and apologize for the inconvenience. Okay. Well, thank you very much, officer. I’m glad that, uh, this got cleared up. Well, I’m glad that turned out okay. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Me, too. I, uh… I wonder what got tracy to change her mind. I don’t like it. And I think that you’re both terrible for putting him in this position. But it’s his choice. I’ll do it. I’ll protect sonny.

[ Exhales deeply ] Okay. Thank you. I really believe this is the best way to keep everybody safe. Look, it’s not going to be easy. Pikeman is massive and dangerous. Yeah. That’s why it’s important for you to keep michael informed. This is a situation sonny has never been in before. And I just hope he doesn’t end up trusting the wrong people. Let me think about it. What’s there to think about? If you could just tell me who mason is working for — no. That’s not going to happen. You really expect me to do this without knowing who I’m doing it for? What I expect is for you to believe that whatever we’re doing, we’re doing for your own good. Oh, please.

[ Laughs ] No, it’s pretty obvious that my best interests are not your main concern. Okay. You know, um… when I found you with nikolas all [Clicks tongue] In the stables, I didn’t run away, right? I stayed. I helped you out. It’s time for you to return the favor. Oh. Oh, so that’s what this has all been leading up to — one big, fat quid pro quo? Maybe a little. But you do get to help yourself out in the process.

[ Indistinct conversations in distance ] You go. -I’ll be right here. -[ Sighs ] Nina: Olivia, I am so sorry that this is happening.

[ Cellphone chimes ] If there’s anything that I can do for you or your — the family… you’ve been so great with willow. And if I can repay you in — in any way, I — I can go get you some food.

On the next “General Hospital” —

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hello? Hey, Steph, still prepping for that Zoom meeting? Yeah, I just finished going over our proposal again and I think we’re in pretty good shape. You on your way? I’m actually not gonna be able to make it. Oh no. Why not? Is everything okay? I just have something I need to take care of. I’m sorry though. No worries.

I can, um, I can just drop by your place when I’m done and fill you in. I don’t know when I’m gonna be free, um, but I’ll let you know. I, yeah. Okay. I will talk to you later. Goodbye,

Sarah. Honey, will you. Relax. Of course, I’m gonna keep your secret. I am not gonna tell another living soul that you are pregnant with Ander’s baby. You betcha. Now you take care now, hun. Okay. Okay. Bye-Bye. Oh God. That girl has wound up tighter than a $2 watch. Hey Bonnie, you’re home. I didn’t know you were here.

I just got in this second. Oh my God. How I miss you? Oh, oh, I miss you. That was Chicago. Tell me everything.

Hey, bam. What’s this? Oh, just a major ad buy from Saxon’s department store. Excellent. Wow. That’s some bottom line. How’d you get ’em to fork over so much cash? Well, I happen to know Mr. Saxon from working at Basic Black and we always got along and I just turn on a little charm and he was putting my hands see.

Told you you’d be great at this job. Ain’t glad you didn’t quit. Yeah. Today’s been a really great day. Stress free. I think it’s because Gwen’s not around.

Gwen, did you order me room service?

You do. I know you. Oh, I should hope so. Since what happened in Phoenix changed the course of my life. Oh, right, Phoenix. I remember you now you’re agent Kyle Graham, of course. You and and Billy Reid were very cute together. Very Mr. And Mrs. Smith, any who? I’d love to stay in chat. That’s so fast, Mr. Stuck. You and I have unfinished business.

Do we? We do. And you’re not going anywhere until it’s finally settled.

Like Sam through the hour class. So are the days of our lives.

Did I do something to offend you? Do stolen jewels ring a bell? Um hmm. No, not really. Oh, oh, you mean when I swapped out that priceless emerald for a phony? Is that what this testosterone driven posturing is all about? Because really it was just a silly prank. Nothing to get riled up about. Riled up a silly prank.

You know? Your silly prank ruined everything for me. Okay. Okay. I’m sorry. Really? I am. I didn’t know that my little caper was going to. Poor your evil plans for world domination. Listen to me, you simpering idiot. It wasn’t about world domination. It was about me becoming very, very rich. You cost me a fortune not to mention my own freedom, and now I’m going to make you pay.

So where is. Gwen. Anyway, apparently she scored some exclusive interview with Dimitri Vaughn. Ner Ner. Yeah, I heard that guy is kind of a dirt bag. Yeah. Unfortunately Dirtbag sell, but hopefully it’ll be good for our numbers and he keeps her out of your hair police for today. That is true. Well, I should get back to work or you could take a break.

I was hoping we could spend a little time together thought You think we should keep things professional here at the office? Absolutely. Professionalism is very important, but I can’t stop thinking about last night and specifically like it’s you. Me neither. So maybe Hello? You too. Oh, hi. Am I interrupting?

No, not at all. Maggie. Hi. Nice to see you. Hi. How are you, Chloe? What brings you by? Um, okay. Well, I’ll get right to the point. I don’t know if you’ve heard I had to let Alex go. I did. And good for you. Well, it might be good for you as well, sander. Because I would like to offer you Alex’s job.

Oh, hey. Hey. What are you doing here? Well, I just wanted to, oh, is this a bad time, Ms. Chad here? No, uh, he’s not. Oh, okay. Well, I just wanted to come by and tell you the good news. Well, I would love to hear some good news. What is it? I am officially employed again. Oh my gosh. That’s great. Mm-hmm. I told you Maggie would take you bash.

She needed some time to cool down. Yeah, yeah, you’re right. And she did offer to rehire me, but I turned her down.

Hey, Abby.

Can’t believe it’s been a whole year since we lost you,

and it seems like yesterday we were together. Happy raising Thomas and Charlotte.

I’m just thinking about having a new baby.

I think about it all the time.

We would’ve been successful, but we’ve had a boy girl, her,

hello. We would’ve been Christ. We were trying to juggle two kids and a newborn baby.

I know that we would’ve loved every minute of it, though.

I can picture it, you know. I could picture exactly what our lives would be like.

Sometimes it seems so real.

Feels like I never lost you.

Julie, I startled you. No, God, nevermind. You want your privacy? I’ll come back later. Please stay.

So, uh, did Thomas and and Charlotte get off? Okay. Yeah. Yeah. It all worked out. Jack and Jennifer picked him up from the airport in Boston earlier. Oh, that’s great. They’ll have a lovely visit. Yeah, I hope so. I think they needed a change of scenery. Yeah. They’ve, they’ve been acting out a bit lately. I’m sure you noticed.

It’s my fault. Yeah. I should have. I didn’t talk to him, you know, and I know they know Subc consciously, and it’s the anniversary of their mother’s passing coming up. They feel it. You know, children always understand more than we give them credit for.

Abigail is watching over you, darling. I truly believe it. Yeah, I hope so.

I wonder what she would think about me and Stephanie. Wait, I don’t understand. You turned Maggie down. So how are you employed again? I took a job at Demara. What? My cousin Brady offered me a position at Basic Blank and I accepted. So you’re working for the competition? Mm-hmm. Wow. And, um, how does Maggie feel about that?

Let me get this straight. Sorry. You, you want me to work at Titan again? Well, I floated this idea before. Surely it can’t come as a complete surprise. What about Victor? He’d never approved and he’s barely spoken to me since I quit. It’s not up to Victor. The only person who needs to be on board with this decision is you so.

What do you say?

Isn’t my granddaughter the cutest? She’s adorable. Wait, wait, wait, wait a minute. Are you teaching Emily Poker? Well, yeah. You’re never too young to learn it’s math, which is what I tried to explain to Mimi and Rex, who weren’t too thrilled. I bet. So what’s going on with Sarah? What do you mean? Why on earth would you ask me about Sarah?

Well, she’s living in Chicago and she’s working with Rex, so I figured he must have mentioned her, right? Oh, yeah, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure. Um, actually, I, I saw her. Oh, how is she? Oh, she’s good. I mean, she’s the same. Exactly the same. Hasn’t changed a bitch. The same old, same old. Oh, is it hot in here? Oh, hotter than Billy goat with a blow torch attack.

Need some water?

What’s going on with you? What you mean? What’s going on with me? Nothing. Well, you seem to be a little nervous. Bonnie is, there’s something wrong. Please don’t hurt me. I will give you anything you want. All I want right now is revenge. Okay. Well, if I can’t change your mind, can I please say one last thing?

Make it quick. Thank you, GWE. Save me Gwenie. Come and help me please. Going on here. What does it look like? He’s trying to kill me for heaven sake. You let him go. This is none of your concern, Gwen. Actually, it is because Maddy is my best friend, Maddy. Yeah. Maddy, you’re not the only with an alias. Kyle, do you have any idea what your best friend here did to me?

No, and I don’t care. Now, are you gonna stop this nonsense or am I gonna phone the police when I don’t think you understand? It doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is this. Do you want to go back to prison or not?

So you are really not worried about how Maggie feels? Hell no. Or Victor? Nope. Nope. Hell no. Especially after the way they treated me. I mean, come on. If, if, if Uncle Vic wasn’t so dismissive with his personal decisions, both Brady and I would still be working at Titan. And if Auntie Mag is such a good CEO O I’m sure she won’t mind a little healthy competition, I guess.

Anyway, I just wanted to tell you the good news she probably get going before Chad shows up and finds us together. Don’t wanna piss off Chad. I don’t, I don’t think Chad’s showing up today. I’m pretty sure he is with Abigail. Yeah, Stephanie and, and, and I have been seeing each other for a while now. Yes.

Well, I like Stephanie. She’s a lovely person. She’s wonderful with your children, and you always seem happier when the two of you’re together. Well, I am. I still feel guilt. Guilty. You know, uh, being with someone who isn’t abbey, not always, sometimes today I do. I understand you love somebody as much as you liked Abigail, you’re always gonna feel her presence in your heart.

But I think Abigail would want you to make room in your heart or someone else, cuz Abigail would want you to be happy.

Yeah. She told me she wanted me to move on. What do you mean? Yeah. After we found out that Clyde was responsible for Abigail’s death, I came here. And I talked to her.

I know it sounds crazy, but she talked back to me. I swear to you, I saw her. I held her in my arms.

Well, that must have been comforting.

Yeah, it was.

Maybe it was just wishful thinking. You know, me telling myself what I wanted to hear, what I wanted myself to hear. Nothing is wrong with me. Nothing at all. Are you sure? Mm-hmm. Because, um, seem to be acting a little strange.

It’s just probably jet lag. Jet lag. Mm-hmm. You know, you drove Chicago and we’re in the same time zone. It’s true. Silly me.

Okay, sweetheart, I can tell something’s really upsetting you, so just talk to me. What’s going on.

You know what, what you,

you are my husband, obviously. Yeah, but you’re also an attorney. I. Uh huh So, so

now you’re my attorney, which means we have attorney code privilege. Bonnie, did you do something illegal? No. No, of course not. No. I just got the secret. I wanna tell. And if I don’t tell it, my tongue is gonna explode and I just love off somebody. All right. What is it? Sarah’s pregnant with Sander’s baby.

Um, my god, I don’t know. I won’t, uh, won’t Sarah be upset if, if you are home? I, well, well, I suppose she might be, but she knows I’m fond of you. Oh, listen, to be honest, there’s a part of me that is hoping that Sarah will forgive you and she’ll come back home someday. Yeah. Well, I don’t see that ever happening, but, and honestly, I’m not sure I’m ready to abandon this newspaper just yet.

Well, wait a minute. I thought you were already taking a step away because it was so awkward working with, you know, with Gwen. Am I wrong? No, you’re not wrong. It’s, I’ve been awkward as hell, but, huh. I dunno. Certain things about the job have improved recently.

Oh. Well, okay, you just take some time and think about it. Not too much time though. I do need to replace Alex sooner than later. And I really do hope it’s you. Of course. Oh, I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Wonderful. Chloe, it was so nice seeing you. Oh my goodness gracious. I see you too. Oh, listen.

Would you tell Parker that? I absolutely loved his birthday gift. He got me. Of course. I’ll tell him. Okay. So nice to see you. Oh, it’s so nice to see you. Think about it.

How is unexpected? Yeah. Well, Maggie obviously thinks very highly of you. I feel the same about her, but No, I mean, I’d be crazy to go back to work at time, wouldn’t I? Then why didn’t you just say No, I didn’t wanna be rude. Or maybe deep down, you actually want the job.

So what’s it going to be? Are you going to call a truce or am I going to call the police?

No, no need to call the police. I apologize, Mr. Stark. I shouldn’t have manhandled you. Oh, that’s okay. Normally I enjoy a good man handling. You’re right. It was too easy. Anywho, I have got to get to work. Guinevere, you are a lifesaver. Love you minutes.

Your best friend is, uh, yes, I know I, I know he’s a lot, but he has a good heart and he makes me laugh so,

Are you still willing to do the interview or, oh, um, of course. Brilliant. Okay. Well, I’ve, I’ve made a lunch reservation at the Bistro, so we could just head over. Actually, I was thinking, well, why not just do it here? Could be a lot more intimate.

Chad was being really vague about his plans, but I, I figured they had to be important if he was blowing off a client meeting and then it hit me. Today is the one year anniversary that’s Abigail’s death. Wow. So I’m sure he just needed some time to process that. Well, why wouldn’t he just say that? I guess because.

It’s just something he has to deal with on his own right. I mean, obviously I’m sure it’s still very painful for him. Mm. How could it not be? Right.

You know, one thing I did notice though, um, what, nevermind. Oh, Alex, what were you gonna say? Um,

he still wears his wedding ring. Yeah, he does. I think I haven’t noticed that too.

We, um, we haven’t talked about it, but I totally understand. I mean, when you love someone so much, It must be hard to let go.

Wow. You’re just so chill about all this. Just living in Abigail’s shadow. Nope, nope. Sorry. That’s not what I meant at all. That that came up very, very wrong. Um, I didn’t mean that you don’t like measure up at all because you do. Um, it’s just that you have to. Somehow, I don’t know. You have to share Chad with Abigail’s memory.

You’re a strong person, Stephanie. I know you can handle it. Chad’s really lucky to have you. You’re understanding, caring. You’re always there for him. You don’t pressure him about anything. Thank you. That was much more tactful, not only tact. That was kind and insightful. Must be the therapy. I don’t know that Dr.

Evans, Hey, she’s a genius. Yeah. Anyway. I, um, I really do hope that Chad’s okay. Yeah, me too. I know it seems impossible that you actually saw Abby, but who knows? What did Shakespeare ride in Hamlet? There are more things in heaven and earth than dreamt of in your philosophy. Maybe you did see her. I will never know that.

But I know one thing, whether you just imagined her or not, whether you just told yourself the things you wanted to hear or not. I know that she would want you to get on with your life and you know that too, don’t you?

Sometimes. Only sometimes other times I just, I’ve, I, um,

I just have this overwhelming feeling of guilt,

like I’m betraying her, you know what I mean? Well, maybe I just made up this vision of Abigail so I could give myself permission to be with Stephanie. Sleep long enough. It’s only been. A year since Chad stop, I have something to say and, and I want you to really hear me okay. There is no timetable for grief.

There is no right or wrong way to mourn, but one thing I know from living a long, long life is that guilt is corrosive. It will steal all of your happiness if you let it. So don’t you let it. You deserve to be loved. You deserve to have happiness, and not just for yourself, but for your children too. They need to see their father living a full life.

Yeah, you’re right. I see you’re still wearing your wedding ring. This is really none of my business. You can ignore anything I might say, but.

Do you think that wearing the ring is holding you back from moving on?

Yeah, maybe.

Maybe it, I just hadn’t been able to bring myself to take it off. I’m afraid that if I do, it’ll allow me

make it final and really let her go. My darling, she will never be gone. Abigail is always going to be with you in your heart and wearing a piece of jewelry, a little golden ring. It’s not gonna prove that to you. You don’t need it and you don’t have to prove it to anyone else in the world.

Another thing, the guilt that you feel, I think it’s because you are here. She’s not, it’s called survivor’s guilt,

but life is a gift. And we should treasure every single bit of it we get cuz it’s brief, it’s limited. It’s limited for all of us. So forgive yourself for finding love again, for wanting to move into the future. Forgive yourself. And be thankful for all the blessings you have and all the glorious joyous moments that are ahead of you.

Will you do that,

Mr. Vaughn Lona? I think that it’s best that we keep things strictly professional. Oh, I wasn’t suggesting otherwise. Well then why? It’s just that restaurants can be so crowded and noisy. I thought it might just be easier to do the interview here that we were not disturbed. Oh, right. Well, alright. I suppose you have a point.

Wonderful. Well then I will order us room service, my treat, of course. Oh, no, I can, no, I insist please. I think we might have gotten off on the wrong foot earlier, and I’d like to make it up to you fresh start. Of course, Mr. Von Lena, uh, as I said last night, please call me Dimitri. All right. Well, thank you in advance for lunch, Dimitri, and for the interview.

Hmm. Normally I, uh, I detest interviews. For some reason, I’m looking forward to this one. Something tells me that you and I are gonna get along

well, to be honest, I mean, God, part of me would just love to go back to Titan, I mean, Bro, not face to dream about being part of the family business and finally feeling like I belonged. I have to say, I mean, it would be so satisfying to go back and just rub it in Victor’s face showing that he made a mistake by not believing in me.

I could see why that would be satisfying. So I guess you’re taking the job

actually. I think I’m gonna turn it down. You are? Why? Well, as much as I enjoy spending time with Maggie, I enjoy spending time with you much more. Listen, we already live together and this job. Yeah, the job, right? I mean, I can’t abandon you to battle Gwen or by yourself. That wouldn’t be fair, would it? So what, you’re staying here for me?

Yeah, I guess I am.

How on earth could Sarah be pregnant with Xander’s baby? She left town months ago. Well, she was pregnant before she left. She just didn’t tell anybody. Why not? Isn’t it obvious? She thinks Sander is a dangerous criminal. She’s trying to protect her unborn child. Yeah, I guess I can see where she’s coming from.

I mean, he did hold you and Susan hostage. Mm-hmm. Which led to Susan’s death. She rest in peace. Well, if Sarah didn’t want anyone to know, why did she tell you? Well, I ran into her, bless her heart. It’s kinda hard to hide your pregnancy at this stage. So she tried to convince me that the father was Rex, which of course I didn’t believe, and then she finally confessed, but she begged me not to tell anyone her secret, but holy moral doesn.

It’s a huge of a secret for me to hold it. I just had to tell someone. Yeah. I understand Justin, this has to stay between us. No one, not even Maggie can know that she’s pregnant, who’s pregnant.

Hi Maggie. I didn’t know you were home. I just got back. So who’s pregnant? And why am I not allowed to know? Well, well, it’s not just you. No one can know. She wants to keep it a secret. She who? Mm-hmm. Mimi. Yes, Mimi is. She’s pregnant and she doesn’t want too many people know until she’s through her first trimester.

You know how that goes. Oh, yes. Of course. Of course. I won’t say a word. Thank you. Thank you. Well, that’s, that’s, that’s wonderful news though. No, you have to be thrilled. Oh, thrilled. If yes, the word yes. Now I have to admit a little jealous. Mm. I’d love to be a grandmother again. Oh yeah,

him. Sorry to interrupt. I just wanted to grab my paycheck.

Thanks, Xander. Are you busy or do you have time to talk about my next column? Busy. You’ll have to wait. Someone needs an answer from me. Air sap.

So that’s your definition of platonic. Interesting. Listen, Leo, can you please not mention this to Gwen? She hates me enough as it is. Girl, please. Gwen is so over that Scottish longhead has been for ages. As a matter of fact, she’s having lunch with a hot new hunky hun. Even as we speak, you know, most of our readers view you as this sort of James Bond type villain.

Who threatens to obliterate entire cities to get what he wanted. And I know that that’s, um, part of your story, but um, I would actually like to move beyond that. And, um, well, I’d like to learn more about the real Dimitri Vaughn Leischner. What would you like to know? Well, how about we start at the beginning.

What was your childhood like? My childhood. Well, I was an only child raised mainly by my mother, whom you’ve met, whom I love dearly, although I, she can be quite needy. You see, she went through a lot before I was born. And come to think of it, sometimes it felt like I was the adult in the relationship. Yes, I know what that’s like.

And, um, what about your, your father? Ah, yes, the venerable Oscar Ner. My father. My father, my father and I didn’t really have very much of a relationship because he was always off on business traveling. And when he was home, he, well, he was cold. And distant, not exactly what you would call a, a fatherly figure.

In fact, I would go as far as to say he may as well have been absent from my life altogether. Sounds like an awfully lonely childhood. Yes. Yes. I suppose it was. Of course I grew up with great wealth and privilege, and I am fully aware of how lucky I was,

but looking back, I, uh,

I would’ve traded all in for just a, a modicum of unconditional love,

if that even exists. I think it does.

Well then you’re less of a cynic than I am anyway. When you’re deprived of love, it starts to eat away at you and to cope with this deprivation, I think I developed a sort of a me against the world mentality. And to be honest with you, I don’t think I’ve ever been able to shake it. And I suppose that it might be that mentality that’s driven many of my, shall we say, less prudent life choices?

Ah, you mean, um, your choice to use a weapon of a mass destruction to bend world governments to your will? Uh, yes. Like that. Mm. Among others

in prison, you spend a lot of time by yourself alone with just your thoughts to keep you company and you start to wonder. How did I get here? How did I hit rock bottom,

and do you know what I realized? No, I’m very eager to hear. I realized that my need for power and money was all born from a lifelong desire just. Just to be loved.

Please feel free to scoff. I just, uh, I realize how wildly cliche that sounds, and I’m sure that now you think that I’m just some self-pitying narcissist. So if, uh, I don’t know. No, I don’t. Um, I don’t, um, actually, I, I completely get it.

I should be going. I’ve given you a lot of advice. I hope, I hope you take it to heart. I will. I appreciate everything you said. You are always. You’re so wise and caring. You really helped me, Julie. Good. Anytime you wanna talk. I’m, I’m always around. I,

I love you. She, I love you too, Julie.

I want you to know, Abby,

well, I saw you here that day and that what I said.

I will love you forever.

Oh, hello. Hi. I didn’t think I’d seen you today. I’m in. I just wanted to come by and, uh, apologize for missing the meeting today. Oh, it’s okay. The truth is, is I went to go see Abigail. That’s what I thought. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you Chad. You don’t owe me an apology.

How was the meeting? It was really good. Actually, we just finished up right before you got here. And the client wants to see the numbers you crunched. Hmm? I have them right here.

Got them right here.

Great.

Let’s get to work.

So are you still looking for that perfect love?

I suppose I am.

And um, is there anyone special? No. Perhaps, um, anyone you fancy?

Sadly, no.

Has there ever been?

Yes, yes. There was someone that I thought was perfect for me, but I kept getting hurt. So finally, as painful as it was, I had to walk away. I think you might know what that feels like. Sorry. Excuse me. Forgive me. I, uh, last night at the house, I overheard you speaking to my aunt and you said something about wanting to put someone named Xander behind you and starting fresh with someone new.

Oh yes, I suppose I did say that. I’m so sorry. I really shouldn’t have been dropping, but secretly I’m glad that I did because it made me realize that perhaps you and I have a connection. Of sorts.

Um, yes, um, it’s true. I mean, honestly, since hearing your story, I am. I think it’s quite uncanny how much we have in common. Really. It’s Imagine that Gwen’s on a date. I thought she was interviewing Dimitri Von Leischner. Oh, well she is, but you never know. One thing could lead to another. Well, I hope you’re right.

If she’s happy and moved on, then she’ll be less of a problem for Xander and me. You know, even if Gwen is out of the picture. What about Sarah Horton? What about Sarah? She and Xandr have been over for a while now. I mean, she doesn’t even live here anymore and yet her Specter always loomed large over Gwen’s relationship with Xandr.

Poor Gwen always playing second fiddle to Xander’s. Beloved Sarah, who’s to say that won’t happen to you too? That’s ridiculous. They’re, they’re done for good. Trust me. You say so.

Oh Lord. Do you think Maggie bought my story? Let’s hope. And you may wanna let Mimi know that she needs to get pregnant. A sap. That’s the only thing I can think of. This is all your fault anyway. My fault. Yes, your fault. I was a much better liar before I fell in love with you. Now I’m outta practice. Oh, well I guess I should take that as a compliment.

Yes, it’s a compliment and a curse cuz now I feel guilty for lying and I never used to feel guilty before. Oh my God. Did you see Maggie? She can’t wait to be a grandmother again. Well, she will be, won’t Sarah eventually have to tell Maggie? I mean, it’s not like she can keep this secret forever, especially from her own mother.

Oh, no, you’re right. It just, I think Sarah needs time to figure it out, you know? Well, she better do that soon, because I’m not sure how much longer you can last before you put it in Skywriting. I really not. You’re the only one I’m gonna tell. Okay. I try to do that.

All right. I have a client to meet. Okay. Then you’ll be here when I get back. Oh, God, yes. All right. And keep your mouth. Mm, yeah. Ow

you can do this bunny girl. You can keep Sarah’s pregnancy a secret. Easy peasy. You just gotta stay away from Xander.

[ Relaxing music ]

Steffy: Hope! You didn’t hear me?

Hope: Uh– uh. No– no, I just…

Steffy: Are you all right?

Ridge: Look at you. You seem just as excited about going to rome as we are.

Brooke: Well, of course, this is a pivotal moment in my daughter’s career.

Ridge: And my son’S.

Thomas: I’m glad you wanna come, brooke.

Brooke: Really?

Thomas: No, it’s– it’s awesome because you get to see just how connected and in sync your daughter and I are.

Wyatt: Did you know they were about to file for bankruptcy?

Liam: Uh, no, I hadn’t heard that.

Wyatt: I think we– we should think about an acquisition. You know, they’re– they’re small right now. They have only about five magazines. Price tag won’t be that high and– and– and their sensibility when it comes to their lifestyle coverage completely aligns with ours. I think it would be a seamless takeover. Thoughts?

Liam: Yeah, no, for sure.

Wyatt: Or I mean, we could just be good samaritans and blow the building up, you know. Save on legal fees.

Liam: Yeah, that sounds good.

Wyatt: Liam!

Liam: What?

Wyatt: I just said blow up the building.

Liam: Really?

Wyatt: Where are you right now? I’m trying to get some work done.

Liam: I’m sorry, I’m sorry, you know, I’m just– I’m still thinking about hope and thomas.

Ridge: You know what, brooke? I think you going to rome actually makes a lot of sense. Not just because your daughter’s line is being showcased, but because you’re a big part of this company.

Brooke: Oh. Well, it’s nice to be appreciated.

Ridge: Well…

Carter: And not just in this room. Been speaking to potential buyers and suppliers and they’re all asking for interviews and meetings with you.

Ridge: Really? I guess you’re going.

Brooke: Oh, thank you, carter.

Liam: I’m sorry, I just– I know– I know I’m not the best at focusing now.

Wyatt: No, I– I– I get it. I– I guess I was just hoping to redirect your thoughts, you know, distract you a little bit. I didn’t actually expect it to work.

Liam: I mean, I am doing everything I can to not let my concern about hope, send me into a spiral. I just, what– what am I supposed to do? This trip’s killing me, man.

Wyatt: I don’t– I don’t blame you, okay? You have every reason to worry about hope and thomas going to rome right now.

Steffy: Is everything okay?

Hope: Yeah, I’m fine.

Steffy: Are you sure? You good?

Hope: I appreciate your concern, but everything is under control.

Steffy: That’s a weird thing to say, everything’s under control. Let me guess. Whatever this is, it has something to do with my brother. This vibe I’m sensing, it has something to do with thomas, doesn’t it?

Your hair is damaged,

Carter: Okay, so let’s go down this list, right? We have the leaf, the men’s collection and brooke’s bedroom. Come on, it’s no wonder why they’re asking if you’re making the trip to italy.

Ridge: The legendary brooke logan, everybody.

Brooke: Oh.

Thomas: We are lucky to have you.

Brooke: Oh, well, thank you, thomas.

Thomas: You’re welcome.

Carter: So, is it official? Can I go and set up meetings and interviews for you?

Brooke: Okay. But just a few. I want the focus to be on hope.

Carter: Got it.

Ridge: I’m glad you’re coming.

Brooke: Yeah, me too.

Thomas: You know, I– I do wonder… you think mom’s gonna feel weird about you two being in rome together.

Wyatt: Not only is rome one of the most beautiful cities in the world, it’s also one of the most romantic, right? They’re all about amore. The whole country is. I mean, I don’t have to tell you– you– you, you’ve been there, you, you got married to hope in puglia.

Liam: Yeah, I know. But those are not the same thing. One is two people madly in love at a destination wedding and the other is business partners at a press event, for god’s sake.

Wyatt: Right, and one of those business partners has been known to be obsessed with the other one. The other one just so happening to be your wife. And they’re about to be alone in fabulous rome of all places.

Liam: I’m curious to know how you think this is helping.

Wyatt: I’m empathizing with you.

Liam: Stop empathizing.

Wyatt: All right, fine, I’m bad at it. Liam, you cannot be more concerned about this situation. Thomas is a master manipulator. He’s good at it because he’s had a lot of practice doing it, okay? He– he knows how to get hope to feel safe around him. He knows how to get her to let her guard down around him. Hell, even defend him for god knows why. And then he does something awful. You have to do something. You can’t let this trip happen.

Liam: How?

Wyatt: I don’t know.

Liam: Exactly.

Wyatt: But liam, maybe you can find a way to keep thomas from going, right? Then– then rome wouldn’t be a problem anymore. The problem here is– is thomas, right? Not your wife.

Hope: Thomas? And why would you bring him up?

Steffy: You know why. The moments I’ve witnessed between you and thomas, I’ve been very clear about my concerns.

Hope: And I’ve told you that there is no reason to be concerned.

Steffy: Good because thomas is doing a remarkable job turning his life around. He’s re-channeling his negative energy into creativity. I love that he’s working hard on himself. He’s really coming into his own. I love that. I just don’t want to see him backslide.

Hope: Thomas has reinvented himself. I am very proud of him.

Steffy: Yeah, you’ve reaped the benefits of that big change. He’s dedicated to reviving hope for the future.

Hope: And I’m very grateful for that.

Steffy: Good. Now, you and thomas are jetting off to rome together and we all know how liam feels about that. The question is, how do you feel about it? Head & shoulders is launching something huge.

Ridge: Well, this is a business trip and your mother understands that.

Thomas: No, I– I’m, I wasn’t trying to make it a deal. It’s just– just a thought.

Brooke: That’s understandable considering our history.

Thomas: Yeah. And it sounds like some of that history has resurfaced.

Brooke: You heard?

Thomas: About things kind of falling out between you and my mom? Yeah.

Brooke: Yeah. Well, it turns out that we don’t have the same perspective on what a friendship is.

Thomas: Yeah. It’s a– it’s a shame honestly because, uh, you know, your renewed friendship, it kind of brought peace and stability to our families.

Ridge: It did, it was nice.

Thomas: Yeah. I guess that’s, uh, it’s up to hope and me to keep that going.

Brooke: Uh, no, I mean, you don’t have to feel responsible for holding the families together. We’re all adults. We can do it ourselves.

Thomas: Sure. We can always just set an example though, right? Anyway, um, speaking of hope, I do have to speak to her about a few designs. Do you need me for anything?

Ridge: No, you go ahead. So, what was that? What was that look? You don’t think there’s something going on between hope and thomas, do you?

Wyatt: And you– you hit the jackpot when you convinced hope to marry you.

Liam: I know.

Wyatt: And I mean, she’s beautiful inside and out. She’s kind, compassionate, loyal–

Liam: Okay, relax.

Wyatt: I’m just saying that she’s fully committed to you and your family, okay? I mean, it wouldn’t even occur to hope to– to be unfaithful. She’s different than brooke.

Liam: You talking smack about my mother-in-law, dude?

Wyatt: No, I’m not saying anything bad about brooke. I’m just making an observation about her past. Look hope was– was surrounded by all that drama in her life. She probably made a conscious decision to do the complete opposite with hers. I’m just– I’m just saying that you don’t have anything to worry about with hope and thomas. Or hope or any other guy for that matter.

Liam: I know– I know that. I just still hate how much time they’re having to spend together, especially with this trip to italy coming up. Like, I– I– I’m sorry, I’m just, like, not capable of– of pretending thomas hasn’t done all the stuff he’s done in the past.

Wyatt: And you shouldn’T. I wouldn’T. I mean, just because thomas is going around saying, “I’m a changed man,” over and over and over again, doesn’t exactly make it true.

Liam: Yeah. Except everyone believes it, including my wife.

Wyatt: Well, she has to. At least until this new collection is off the ground, right? Who knows, maybe after she– she’ll have a major reassessment in life, right? She’ll– she’ll find a new lead designer after the pressure of survival is off.

Liam: Hm. Yeah. I mean, that would be ideal. I– I– I, you know, I definitely believe that– that thomas is the problem and– and– and he always has been. I just wish I could keep him away from hope.

Hope: How do I feel about thomas coming to the preview? I think he should be there. Absolutely. He’s devoted every minute to hope for the future and he’s a great leader. He’s had a good attitude. He deserves to have this moment. I mean, we deserve to have it. We’re a team.

Steffy: Have you shared that with liam?

Hope: Yes because I’m open and honest with my husband.

Steffy: I can’t imagine liam feels good about you and thomas working together indefinitely.

Hope: Well, does finn tell you how to run forrester?

Steffy: No.

Hope: Liam doesn’t tell me how to run my line. And right now, thomas is the best fit as a designer. So look, it’s all fine, steffy. Liam and I, we talk, we’re in a good place, and like I said, everything’s under control.

Steffy: I hope so.

Thomas: Is everything okay in here?

Hope: Great.

Thomas: Okay, ’cause it kind of feels like I walked in on something.

Steffy: Hope and I were just talking about your trip to rome. How happy she is that you’re gonna be there with her. Hmmm! Twix with cookie and cookie dough?

Brooke: Hm.

Ridge: You wanna try something for me?

Brooke: Hm?

Ridge: Let’s not worry about hope and thomas.

Brooke: Mm-hmm. They’ve changed, they’ve worked through it. Thomas is a different person. I’ve seen it. You’ve seen it and hope, she’s welcomed him back with open arms.

Brooke: I just want things to work out for both their sakes.

Ridge: All right, good. Let’s focus on that. Let’s take this show on the road all the way to rome. What do you say?

[ Brooke chuckling ]

Brooke: You know, I have a good feeling about this trip. It’s gonna be a game changer, for all of us. Just really looking forward to being alone with you.

Wyatt: I feel you, bro. I mean, you are– you are absolutely right not trusting thomas. I mean, if you let your guard down, even for a second, it’s gonna be a huge mistake.

Liam: [ Scoffing ] Also… also, why does he have to be the only designer in L.A. That– that apparently can interpret hope’s vision?

Wyatt: Like I have no idea. I don’t buy it.

Liam: Yeah. Well, try telling hope that.

Wyatt: Maybe you should go too, to rome? Hm?

Liam: Listen, the– the thought crossed my mind, but I don’t wanna be that guy tagging along on his wife’s business trip. What? Like keeping tabs. Also, I kind of don’t want a front row seat to the hope and thomas show. Singing each other’s praises, clasping hands, taking a bow together like blegh.

Wyatt: That does sound nauseating. Bottom line is you have to trust hope, you have to trust your wife, all right? The last thing you wanna do is– is make her defensive or– or accuse her of something or assume anything. You don’t want to create any kind of issue whatsoever between you and her. Especially when she’s gonna go to rome with thomas.

Thomas: I am so excited about this fashion preview and I want to thank you so much for inviting me.

Hope: Well, you’re the lead designer, of course, you’re a part of it. I mean, you’ve done more work on it than anyone else.

Thomas: Except you.

Hope: Teamwork…

Thomas: Makes the dream work, yeah. Um, honestly, it’s– I think that this– this fashion preview and the press event, it’s gonna reposition hope for the future. You know, not just in a place at the forefront of the fashion industry, which it will be, but also as a way to make positive changes in the world.

Steffy: Both of you have worked very hard on the line for weeks now.

Thomas: More like months.

Steffy: Okay, months. And it needs to pay off and I won’t let anything or anyone get in the way of relaunching the line.

Thomas: Okay. Well, I can hear what you’re oh so nicely not saying. And you don’t have to worry. Hope and I know this is– this trip is just about business. Nothing else, right?

Hope: Right.

Steffy: Great. Well, I’m gonna go and get ready for rome.

Thomas: Okay. Bye. Oh, okay. Hey, um, don’t worry about my sister, right? She’s just being bossy and her being the boss actually makes it that much worse.

Hope: Yeah. Well, I’m used to steffy.

Thomas: Okay. Well, then don’t worry about liam. Look, I know that he is frustrated with us working together, but that’s coming from a place of him wanting you to be successful and loving you, right? And so, it’s okay what– the way we need to be successful is to work together and to go to rome together, right? So, let’s do that because it’s strictly about business and nothing else.

Hope: Yep.

Thomas: All right. Now, my sister, my dad, your mom, who, by the way, is going on the trip, you know that?

Hope: Yes, she told me.

Thomas: Liam, none of them, have anything to worry about. Tell me you believe that.

Hope: Yes, I believe you, thomas. I trust you.

Thomas: Okay. Well, I do have something I wanted to show you that I’ve been brainstorming.

Hope: Oh, okay.

Thomas: Um, it is something that I wanted to bring out the– the romance and the sex appeal of rome, right? It needs to be sort of this ancient idea…

[ Hope’s heart thumping ]

Thomas: You know, something subliminal just below the surface waiting to be seen.
