[ Relaxing music ]

Ridge: I know, carlo. That’s beautiful. It is. E’ perfetto.Ie. All right. Ciao, carlo. Ciao, ciao. Carlo says hello in a special way and I’m very sorry.

Brooke: No, I could listen to you speak italian every single day.

Ridge: And I’m sorry our conversation got interrupted.

Brooke: Oh, don’t worry. You’re doing what you can to make hope’s preview a success and I love you for that. Besides, haven’t we apologized to each other enough? I don’t want to have to say “I’m sorry” to you one more time. And my relationship with taylor may be a bust, but it did teach me to find happiness within myself and I wanna share that happiness with you. We’ve been apart too long, ridge. It is time that I reunite with the love of my life.

[ Taylor sighing ]

Steffy: Can I get you anything? Iced tea?

Taylor: Oh, gosh. Maybe– maybe something with honey. I was screaming so loud, I lost my voice. Are the kids home?

Steffy: Uh, no. Story time at the library and finn is at the hospital, so it’s just us. How you doing?

[ Taylor exhaling ] I know you didn’t really want to get into it at the office, so…

Taylor: I am hurt. I’m– I’m– I… brooke was just accusing me of all kinds of things and… I’m sure she’s still talking to ridge right now.

Steffy: And that worries you because you want to be with him? You want dad back.

Hope: Um, hey. We need to have a talk.

Thomas: Okay, but if this is about our parents.

Hope: Did you know about what your mother did to my mom?

Thomas: Yeah, my mom was here and she was pretty upset. Um, but I don’t wanna get involved in that.

Hope: Okay, well I’m– I’m not trying to come at you at all, I just don’t want all that to affect us.

Thomas: Yeah, right, so let’s just let them work it out.

Hope: But taylor did betray my mom and I can’t just ignore that.

Thomas: Okay, but there’s no reason– there’s no reason to get mixed up in these things.

Hope: Well, unfortunately, I think I already am involved, annoying. Did I ever tell you about my mom agreeing to go on that date with hollis?

Thomas: No. Is that– is that the guy from the restaurant?

Hope: The waiter, yeah.

Thomas: Okay.

Hope: So I thought that taylor was just setting them up out of the goodness of her own heart, being a good friend, but really, she was purposefully trying to do that, and when that didn’t work out, she then started to push my dad my mom’s way.

Thomas: Okay, but you don’t want your parents together?

Hope: Well, no, I just– I don’t want them being manipulated by taylor just so she can make a beeline to your father.

Taylor: My intentions to set brooke up on dates and do all that, that was never nefarious.

Steffy: But mom, I’m not asking that. I’m asking if you want dad back.

Taylor: But see, brooke and I– brooke and I swore off your father, we both did, and then something happened and I started to realize, maybe she’s not keeping her side of the pact, so then, I went to deacon, and yes, I did push him, but that doesn’t mean that I was manipulating her this entire time, but she keeps going on with that.

Steffy: Mom, okay, I– I believe you. I believe you. And brooke is in no position to be pointing fingers, especially with her shady behavior and her shady history. I’m just trying to make sense of this all. It’s a shock. It is a shock. You still want a future with dad.

[ Taylor sighing ]

Ridge: You and taylor told me you wanted nothing to do with me.

Brooke: Well, I just, uh, I needed some time, you know? I needed some space to figure out what it was that I truly wanted. What makes me happy. And yes, every relationship has ups and downs, but you and I, everything that we’ve shared together, that’s forever. Our love is eternal. My a1c was up here; now, it’s down with rybelsus.

Hope: My mom doesn’t need me to defend her and I don’t want you to have to feel like you need to defend your mother either.

Thomas: I’m sorry this is going on. I really am.

Hope: I just– I feel naive. I mean, I actually thought their friendship might last.

Thomas: Yeah, I think we all did, but I’m not ready to give up on it yet. I mean, look, things weren’t exactly great between us recently.

Hope: Hm. But see you earned my trust back, whereas your mom is doing the opposite.

Thomas: Well, we knew everything would get complicated when my dad came back into town. That doesn’t have to interfere with us.

Hope: No, I agree. I don’t want to get in the middle of it.

Thomas: No, that’s really my dad’s place.

[ Both laughing ] Look, I’m not gonna let any of this derail what’s going on with us and the line.

Hope: [ Chuckling ] Well, we can’t let it because we have rome coming up and the showing and I’m already nervous enough as is having to get up on that stage.

Thomas: No reason to be nervous. You’re gonna be terrific. I think we should take our cue from rj. Not get involved in any of the drama because I don’t want any of that to jeopardize our success.

Taylor: Thank you. You know, I never stopped loving your dad.

Steffy: Oh, I know.

Taylor: And you know, that’s not what the pact was about with brooke. It wasn’t about loving your dad. It was about honesty and transparency when it came to him.

Steffy: Yeah, but you weren’t cutting dad out of your life.

Taylor: But I tried to. I was convinced I had. I was moving on. I was done. It’s– it wasn’t just about me, you know, wanting to be with you dad.

Steffy: But you still want to be with him, mom.

Taylor: Do you think that we make each other happy?

Steffy: I think you guys are great together. You have this special connection. But does this mean your friendship with brooke is over?

Taylor: Oh, yeah. I have tried so hard to push down my feelings for your dad, but now I don’t need to anymore. God, even after everything we have been through… I still adore him.

Steffy: Well, he adores you.

Taylor: Yeah, I can only imagine what brooke is saying to him right now because I am– I am certain that– that she wants him back too.

Brooke: Look, taylor and i choose ourselves for a lot of reasons, but we weren’t rejecting you, ridge.

Ridge: Mm, you chose your futures without me.

Brooke: Uh, our futures without the pain and conflict that our tug of war caused.

Ridge: I hurt you both. I know.

Brooke: Yeah, you did. You abandoned our marriage without any explanation whatsoever, and I couldn’t even do anything to fix things. You took off and proposed to taylor.

Ridge: And I hate that I did that.

Brooke: Well, it didn’t end well for her either.

Ridge: It didn’t really work for any of us, did it?

Brooke: Uh, we did get something out of it.

Ridge: You guys did. Yeah, you had a great friendship for a little while. What did I get? Got kicked to the curb and that’s it. It’s just that– that stung a little.

Brooke: Ridge, you have to understand. I mean, we got caught up in the emotion of it, of taking control of our lives. Can you imagine?

Ridge: And I’m not– no, I’m not attacking you. I– I like that you stood up for yourself. It’s– it’s good. I respect it.

Brooke: Okay. I mean, looking back, I– I could have done things differently. Not the part where I chose myself, but the part where I chose taylor as a friend. That was miscalculated. Hm. That’s why… I just wanna focus on us and the possibility of the life that we can share together. – Bedtime!! – Bedtime.

Thomas: If you don’t have any more changes, I wanna get this one over to the patternmaker.

Hope: Thomas, it’s beautiful. I mean, the movement.

Thomas: I knoW. I wanna get it in production for rome.

Hope: This gown with that backdrop. I mean.

Thomas: I know. Did you see the photos that katie sent? It’s breathtaking.

Hope: I know. The entire trip is gonna feel that way. I mean, it’s like, something out of my wildest dreams.

Thomas: Yeah, mine too.

Hope: It’s exciting.

Thomas: Yeah. Well, it’s, uh– it’s the kind of reveal that this collection deserves.

Hope: Well, I’m glad you’re gonna be there.

Thomas: Yeah, me too. Um, I don’t mean to bring things down at all, but…

[ Thomas chuckling ] Is liam okay with us going to italy together?

Taylor: I don’t want to feel insecurity and doubt and–

Steffy: Yeah, that never does any good.

Taylor: No, it doesn’t, and it’s not necessary. You know, even if brooke is spewing her best logan logic to try and make a case for herself with your dad.

Steffy: You don’t think dad will be convinced.

Taylor: I don’t know. I– I am– I am done explaining and defending myself. I… I– I have better things to think about right now. Just you and thomas and my grandkids and how amazing this trip to rome is going to be for thomas.

Steffy: I know. This preview is gonna take thomas to a whole new level.

Taylor: You know what I did? I, um, I mentioned to your dad that maybe I would like to go. That I would like to be there with you and thomas in rome.

Steffy: Me, thomas and… dad.

Brooke: Don’t you see, ridge? There’s no more misunderstandings. No more obstacles between us. It’s almost like a clean slate and rj is back in town with us.

Ridge: Rj’s back. No, it’s great. Things are better. The kids are safe and they’re thriving.

Brooke: Mm-hmm. And we could be too.

Ridge: We’re doing okay.

[ Brooke chuckling ]

Brooke: We’re doing okay, yeah. We’re doing better than okay, I think. We just, um, we just need some time alone.

Ridge: I love that idea, love time alone with you, but let’s try to be realistic for a moment. You told me you didn’t want me in your life anymore. That you want to put yourself first and I don’t want to disrupt that. You just said no more apologies, right? And I’m with you. Let’s not apologize anymore. The best way to do that is to not put ourselves in a situation where we have to apologize. And stop hurting each other and stop doing whatever we did over the years to tear us apart. I love you so much, that’s never gonna change. We gotta be honest with each other. You gotta be honest with you. Do we have enough to make this work? Give this another shot? Or is this just something that we do because it’s easy? Because it’s– it’s a nice, comfortable place to land? Because we’ve called this home for so long.

Hope: Don’t worry about liam.

Thomas: So, liam knows I’m gonna be in rome?

Hope: I told him not to worry about you, and so you don’t worry about him.

Thomas: The trip’s gonna be intense.

Hope: Okay. So then, we should focus on the work and if I have issues at home, then that is where I will handle them.

Thomas: Okay. Rome is a go. Moving on. Um, if we want to speed up production on this, honestly, we could take out some of the detail on the edge.

Hope: No, no, no. But I love that.

Thomas: No, look, promise. If you just take out the external part–

[ Hope’s heart thumping ] We could just make it a much smaller patch here and that’ll be so much faster for them to fix up.

Taylor: You know, thomas is making such a huge impact on the fashion world. I’m just– I’m just so proud of both of you.

Steffy: Yeah, I just wanna make sure hope for the future is a huge success.

Taylor: Yeah, I hope that italy is a huge success for everybody.

Steffy: So, you’re really thinking about coming along?

Taylor: I mean, it would– it would be nice. I would love to be there when your brother’s designs are unveiled.

Steffy: Well, katie is still working on the list and the guests and travel–

Taylor: I can’t– I– I– I haven’t– I haven’t got that far in my head. It’s just a thought right now. Of course, I’d love to be there right now with you and thomas. It would be great to connect with ridge.

Steffy: As a couple.

Taylor: Look, I’m just– I’m just saying that it would be really nice to– to clear the air with him.

Steffy: And you know, I really like that you and dad are still so close and the love is still there, but, um, this time, I’m not gonna push. I’ve learned my lesson. So, know that I support you, but, uh, like you said, who knows?

Ridge: You told me not too long ago that we’re not teenagers anymore. That we can’t just follow our impulses.

Brooke: What? I said that?

Ridge: Oh, you said that. I remember because you were wearing that little blue number and it’s just burned into my brain. I don’t know why.

[ Brooke chuckling ]

Brooke: Yeah, that’s right. I remember. I– I remember that night. That was after dinner.

Ridge: After dinner and things were getting a little interesting and you sent me home. Sent me to dad’s house.

Brooke: What? What was I thinking?

Ridge: You were thinking that we’re grown-ups, and that there are repercussions to the actions that we have and that’s why I want to be a grown-up right now. The last thing I want to do is hurt you. Do I– do I wanna be with you and– and play with you? Yes, absolutely, I wanna do that, but I also know our history and I know the things that have happened and that changes things. I used to have all the answers to everything. Now, I know nothing. I live at my dad’s house. I’m lost.

Brooke: Ridge, you’re not lost. I mean, we all feel that way sometimes.

Ridge: That’s my point. So, maybe this whole thing about destiny, maybe that’s just some word that some writer came up with because he didn’t know what to do with his characters at the end of the book. I don’t know.

Brooke: What?

Ridge: I love the life that we had, the love that we had for each other, for our kids. That’s eternal. That’s never gonna go away.

Brooke: Okay, good. Good. But what about the passion? What about that? Because I know that’s still there. I feel it and I know you feel it too, so I need you, ridge, and you need me. I see that little glint in your eye, that mischievous little smile, so I know you believe it too because it’s the passion and the fire that we have had forever, and that is not going anywhere. That is going to be there no matter what. And I meant it. I really did. I meant it when I said, “I need you.” And you, big guy, you need me. Come here.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Xander cooks egg sandwiches for he and Chloe. Xander encourages her to try it and she admits it’s really good. Xander says it pairs nicely with the champagne. Xander talks about Scottish people inventing things which Chloe jokes with him about. Xander then kisses Chloe. Chloe responds by slapping him.

At the police station, Rafe is on the phone saying he wants all hands on deck and this to be his top priority. Rafe hangs up as Talia comes in with Belle. Rafe asks how the arraignment went. Talia responds that she made bail. Rafe states that Jada will be relieved. Belle notes that it helps that Talia showed great remorse and agreed to testify against Colin. Rafe points out that will all be moot if they can’t find Colin. Talia questions what he means. Rafe reveals to them that Colin has escaped.

Leo argues that Jada can’t put him in jail when he’s an innocent civilian who hasn’t done anything wrong. Jada responds that he had contact with a known fugitive and didn’t tell the police. Leo admits he was scared and shows Jada what Colin did to his phone, saying he was afraid he would do the same thing to him if he ratted him out. Jada asks if Leo’s sure he didn’t want to just write about it in his column. Leo insists and pleads with her not to put him in jail. Jada responds that it won’t come to that as long as he tells her every detail about his run in with Colin. Leo agrees to do that but asks if she can keep his name out of it because he does not need another target on his back. Jada questions him saying another target. Leo responds that Colin is not the only evil European out to get him because a couple summers ago, he may have incurred the wrath of one of Salem’s newest bad boys in Dimitri Von Leuschner.

Kristen tells Megan that she has to agree with Dimitri as she is preparing for a custody fight and showing up with her nephew on her arm won’t win her brownie points with the judge. Megan calls them pathetic. Dimitri says there are plenty of fish in the sea. Megan feels most of them are not suitable for him to marry. Megan declares that if they are not keeping it in the family, they have to find someone very special for him to marry. Gwen then walks in and says she’s looking for Dimitri. Dimitri introduces himself as Gwen mentions being the editor in chief of the Spectator. Dimitri takes it that she’s a reporter. Kristen calls Gwen her friend but guesses she’s here on business. Gwen admits she’s here for the scoop on Dimitri as he’s causing quite the stir and she’s sure her readers would love to know more about him. Megan remarks that it seems she has come to the right place. Megan asks Kristen to introduce her to Gwen, so she does. Megan asks how they know each other. Kristen asks if Gwen wants to tell her. Gwen jokes that Kristen blackmailed her into escaping police custody. Kristen responds that she returned the favor by helping Gwen out of a jam or two, including getting her a pardon when they were in prison together. Dimitri asks what brought Gwen to prison. Gwen explains that her sister Abigail was being a bit of trouble and she perceived her to be quite a threat, so she sort of shipped her off to a deserted island but she was eventually rescued and found out that Gwen was responsible. Dimitri guesses that was a trying time for her. Gwen says she will always regret doing that to Abigail but says that’s enough about her. Gwen then asks about Dimitri, saying she’s been following his story and finds it fascinating so she would love to get an interview with him. Dimitri responds that he’s sorry but he’s not interested in doing press but Megan encourages him not to be so hasty.

Jada asks Leo what happened after Colin broke his phone. Leo says he just walked away and he didn’t follow him since he had a gun. Jada asks if there is anything else she should know. Leo swears that’s everything. Jada thanks him for his time. Leo stops her and says he answered all of her questions, so he thinks it’s only fair that she answers some of his questions about her sister, Talia Hunter.

Talia questions Colin taking Abe hostage. Rafe clarifies that they don’t know for sure but it’s a hell of a coincidence. Talia worries that Paulina and Chanel must be freaking out and asks if there are any leads. Rafe responds that Jada is interviewing a potential witness as they speak.

Xander can’t believe Chloe slapped him again. Chloe can’t believe Xander kissed her again and points out that Gwen’s not here to witness so it wasn’t for her benefit. Xander explains that he felt a vibe between them and thought maybe she felt it too but asks if he was wrong. Chloe admits that he was not completely off base. Xander asks if she felt a spark too then. Chloe says maybe and then admits that she did feel it and not just tonight, but ever since they moved in together there has been something between them. Xander is happy that he’s not going mad but asks why Chloe doesn’t seem thrilled since she said she’s moving on from Brady. Chloe acknowledges that she and Brady don’t have a future together, but she hates that she is attracted to Xander.

Belle encourages Talia that Colin’s escape has no bearing on her situation as her bail has been granted so she’s free to go and just needs to be very careful. Talia can’t believe all of this is happening and asks what Colin was thinking. Belle hopes that the police will find him and Abe will come back safe and sound. Talia prays that she’s right and thanks Belle for all of her help. Belle tells Talia not to hesitate to call if she needs anything. Belle then exits the station. Talia asks Rafe if there’s any word but he says not yet. Rafe asks if Talia has any idea where Colin might be going. Talia says no and suggests he could go back to New York but he doesn’t have any friends there to speak of. Rafe tells Talia to think about it and let him know if she comes up with anything. Talia then stops Rafe and says she owes him an apology.

Jada asks what questions Leo has about her sister. Leo asks how things are looking for her since she was arrested for being Colin’s partner in crime. Jada argues that she wasn’t his partner in crime and didn’t kill anyone. Leo points out that Talia did trash Paulina’s office and drug the biscuits so he wouldn’t say her hands are clean in all of this. Jada blames Colin being extremely manipulative. Leo argues that it’s not like Talia didn’t have a choice as Colin didn’t have a gun to her head. Jada responds that it’s easy to say when you’re not being abused. Leo questions if Jada is saying that Talia was trapped in an abusive relationship and if he can quote her on that.

Dimitri says he’s suffering from jet lag so this is the last thing he needs. Megan argues that DiMeras don’t do jet lag and says this isn’t just any reporter since Gwen is a friend of Kristen’s, so she sure she has no agenda. Gwen insists that she just wants to get Dimitri’s story out there as there are already some rumors out there so she’d like to give him a chance to put a stop to them. Dimitri responds that he doesn’t give a damn what people think so they can let the rumor mill churn. Gwen asks if he’s sure that’s wise and he wouldn’t like to think about it. Dimitri thanks Gwen for the opportunity but repeats that his answer is no. Megan asks for a private word with Dimitri, so they step out of the room together. Megan tells Dimitri that he does not want to miss this golden opportunity as it’s not about PR, but about making Gwen the future Mrs. Von Leuschner.

Gwen congratulates Kristen on her immunity deal and calls it very impressive how she keeps pulling rabbits out of her hat. Kristen responds that it’s all thanks to Megan this time. Gwen asks if Kristen has made an ally then. Kristen says maybe. Gwen asks if she doesn’t trust Megan. Kristen says of course not because she’s a DiMera. Gwen remarks that her son is too and he seems a bit feisty. Gwen notes that she’s quite feisty herself too and she’s very determined to get that interview, so she’s going to do everything in her power to make that happen.

Dimitri argues that Megan can’t be serious about wanting him to marry Gwen. Megan points out that he rejected her other idea. Dimitri questions just marrying the first stranger to walk in off the street. Megan feels Gwen is hardly a stranger since she and Kristen were prison mates. Dimitri calls it even worse that she’s a felon. Megan argues that Gwen’s crimes are child’s play compared to what they have done. Dimitri says the point is he should be in love with the person he’s going to marry. Megan says that’s a luxury they don’t have time for, reminding him that if he wants the Von Leuschner fortune then he has to be married by the time he turns 40 which is fast approaching. Megan orders Dimitri to forget about love and to go convince Gwen to marry him as soon as possible.

Jada tells Leo this interview is over. Leo asks if she doesn’t want her sister’s side of the story to be told, especially since she was being abused. Jada says she shouldn’t have told him that. Leo relates it to his father being physically abusive. Jada notes this was more like emotional abuse. Leo says he can relate to that too as his mother was the queen of all sorts of emotional abuse and blackmail. Jada appreciates his empathy, but says she can’t continue this conversation as she needs to focus on finding Abe and Colin. Leo says it’s his journalistic responsibility to print what she has already given him. Jada understands she can’t stop him from printing what he’s going to print, but as someone who has been abused, she would hope he would have some understanding of what Talia is going through. Jada hopes Leo has a heart and keeps her sister’s name out of his column. Jada then exits.

Rafe questions why Talia feels she owes him an apology. Talia reminds him that he went to the hospital because of her and he spent so much time and energy looking for the person responsible. Talia says that if she came forward sooner, things might not have gotten so bad, so she’s really sorry. Rafe appreciates her apology and respects her taking responsibility for her actions. Rafe wishes he could say the same about Colin. Talia says that all this time, she thought Colin was the victim because of what happened to his parents and that’s how she kept rationalizing what he was asking her to do for him. Talia swears that she never thought Colin was this dangerous or that he would hurt anybody. Rafe believes that Colin hid it pretty well. Talia feels really bad that she dragged her sister in to all of this. Talia knows it’s really bad for Jada that she’s caught up in this huge scandal. Rafe encourages that Jada cares about her and loves her which is why she hired the best damn lawyer she could find. Rafe advises Talia to do whatever the hell Belle tells her to do to make it up to Jada.

Belle goes home where she is surprised to see Shawn has returned home. They hug as Belle questions why he didn’t tell her that he was coming home. Shawn says things just sort of happened. Belle questions if Shawn has been drinking. Shawn admits he has but says not nearly enough as he takes another drink of a beer. Belle asks what’s going on and if something happened with his dad. Shawn responds that Bo is still in a coma and nothing has changed. Belle questions why he’s guzzling all of this beer then. Shawn says it’s because he shot his dad and put him in a coma. Belle repeats that it was an accident and everyone knows that, encouraging Shawn to stop torturing himself. Shawn argues that accident or not, Bo is holding on by a thread and Hope is a wreck, doing everything she can to stay positive. Shawn talks about having to see Hope suffering every day, knowing that he can’t help her. Shawn feels he just made things worse and that’s why he came home. Belle insists that Hope doesn’t blame him for what happened. Shawn says maybe not consciously. Shawn adds that after they got Bo situated, he felt it was best to make himself scarce and that’s why he came home. Belle encourages that Bo has a team of world class doctors and maybe they will find a way to bring him back to them. Shawn hopes Megan doesn’t find out where Bo is at because Hope has enough on her plate as it is. Belle then reveals that Megan is actually back in Salem and staying at the DiMera Mansion. Shawn is shocked and declares he’s going to give that bitch a piece of his mind.

Dimitri tells Megan that he knows there’s a time crunch but he’s not turning 40 tomorrow, so he’d like to explore his options. Megan questions what options since he isn’t seeing anyone and his last romantic encounter with Billie Reed was all an act. Dimitri questions Megan not seeing how crazy this is. Megan insists that the inheritance money is rightfully his. Megan adds that she has big plans that require significant funding, so he needs to put a ring on Gwen’s finger. Dimitri questions why Gwen when he’s known her for two minutes. Megan points out that Gwen is successful, smart, and beautiful, asking what more he needs to know. Dimitri mocks the idea of getting married, pointing out that he doesn’t even know if Gwen is single. Megan notes that she didn’t see a ring, so as far as she’s concerned, she’s fair game. Megan then orders Dimitri to get back in there and sweep Gwen off her feet.

Kristen comments on Gwen taking her reporter job very seriously. Gwen feels she has a knack for it and that she got it from her dad. Kristen remarks that it’s too bad she couldn’t bond with Jack over it, considering she did steal the paper from him and Jennifer. Gwen argues that Jack and Jennifer have another paper in Boston and they’re just fine. Kristen asks Gwen how it is working with her ex. Gwen calls that the least enjoyable part, especially considering the fact that he’s insisted on bringing in Chloe. Kristen calls Chloe a third rate singer and notes that her daughter calls Chloe the evil one. Kristen mentions that her daughter told her that Chloe and Xander were playing house together and then she saw them cozying up together yesterday. Gwen says that Xander said nothing romantic is going on between them, but she thinks it’s just a matter of time before they have a romp in the hay. Kristen is relieved that Chloe has finally detached herself from Brady. Kristen says she does feel bad for Gwen, but offers to give her some pro tips if she wants to get back at Chloe, if she wants to get back with Xander. Gwen responds that she appreciates it but that’s literally the last thing she wants. Gwen declares that she’s decided it’s time to hop off the Xander merry go round since it’s not serving her anymore, given his very fickle nature. Gwen states that she needs to put that behind her, move on with her life, and maybe find someone new as Dimitri and Megan return to the room.

Xander doesn’t understand why Chloe would be upset about having feelings for him. Chloe responds that it’s because he’s him. Chloe brings up Xander leaving her in the clutches of a Mexican drug lord, shooting Brady, locking Nicole in a shark cage, and being the clown who kidnapped Susan and Bonnie. Xander asks why Chloe has feelings for him if he’s so bloody awful. Chloe admits that she’s seen another side of him as a human being. Chloe says she could tell he meant it when he expressed his remorse over Susan’s death. Chloe guesses he does have a heart, acknowledging that he went to bat for her with Gwen, got her a job, and has been really kind to her including making dinner. Xander asks if Chloe is saying she might actually like him after all. Xander suggests she stop fighting her feelings and just give in to what her heart desires. Chloe calls it a really bad idea, noting that they live together and they work together so it could get really complicated really fast. Xander argues that they don’t have to commit to anything and just take it day by day to see where it goes, especially since she’s still getting over Brady. Chloe asks if Xander is really over Sarah. Xander assures that he is, noting that he still has feelings for her but he knows that ship has sailed. Chloe realizes she’s been involved with half of Xander’s relatives; Brady, Philip, Deimos, and Daniel, joking that she should swear off all Kiriakis men since it never seems to work out. Xander says he’s the best of the bunch and she’s never been with him. Xander encourages Chloe and suggest they kiss again to see how she feels. Chloe asks if he wants to risk getting slapped again. Xander says he’s willing to take his chance as they kiss.

Leo works on typing up his article about Colin and Talia, saying the readers may think they know everything about their tale of revenge but he has uncovered their latest and juiciest details yet. Leo types up Talia being a victim of emotional abuse at the hands of Colin and calls it a twisted relationship. Leo then decides he hates having a conscience and deletes what he typed.

Jada goes to the police station and tells Talia that she’s so happy that she made bail. Talia mentions hearing about Colin and asks if Leo was any help. Jada says not really and informs Rafe that when Leo ran in to Colin, he was still wearing the cop uniform and there was no sign of Abe. Rafe guesses they are back to square one. Talia tells them that she’s so sorry. Jada tells her not to worry as they won’t stop until they find them. Talia asks if there is anything she can do to help. Rafe advises her to go lock her door and let the police handle this. Jada agrees, noting that Colin is probably very upset about Talia turning on him, so she needs to be very careful. Rafe decides that he will have an officer give her a ride home, so she thanks him. Jada instructs Talia to call her right away if she hears anything from Colin as she hugs her.

Megan apologizes for the delay and announces that Dimitri has decided to do Gwen’s interview, which he confirms. Dimitri repeats that he is worn out from his travels, so he wants to schedule it for another time which Gwen agrees to. Megan suggests they chat over dinner tomorrow. Gwen asks to do it over lunch as she’s anxious to get the story out. Megan says they will get her contact information from Kristen and settle on the details. Gwen says she looks forward to hearing Dimitri’s story. Megan is so glad this worked out and says something tells her this lunch will be an exciting opportunity for both of them.

Belle stops Shawn and demands he give her his keys because he’s in no condition to drive and confronting Megan won’t change anything. Shawn argues that his dad is fighting for his life because of that bitch since she messed with his head and she deserves to have to answer for that. Belle says there is nothing they can do right now, so Shawn reluctantly hands over his keys. Shawn supposes as much as he would like to, he can’t place the blame squarely on Megan’s shoulders because he’s the one that pulled the trigger. Belle asks Shawn to stop drinking and come to bed. Shawn points out that he has two beers left. Belle thinks he would feel better if he got some sleep but Shawn refuses and asks her to leave him the hell alone.

After kissing, Chloe tells Xander that it was nice. Xander jokes that he hoped for more but Chloe says he’ll have to settle for nice for now. Xander says at least he didn’t get slapped this time, so that’s progress. Chloe tells him not to push it, so Xander says he won’t kiss her again even though he really wants to. Xander asks Chloe what they should do now. Chloe suggests getting back to their dinner.

Shawn apologizes to Belle for snapping at her, but says he just wants to be left alone. Belle argues that he’s drunk and not thinking straight, so the last thing he needs is to be alone. Shawn insists that he’s fine and she’s got his keys so he’s not going anywhere. Shawn tells Belle to just go to bed. Belle says she will wait up for him and that she loves him as she then heads to the bedroom.

Megan asks Kristen for any ideas on where Dimitri and Gwen can meet for lunch tomorrow. Kristen senses Megan believes that she found Dimitri a wife. Megan confirms that she believes Gwen will be a suitable means to an end. Kristen mocks that being romantic. Megan declares that what’s most important to them is that Dimitri inherits what is rightfully his and if it turns out to be a love match, so much the better.

Gwen returns home to the Salem Inn where Leo asks how it went with Dimitri. Gwen responds that he offered to give her an exclusive interview at lunch tomorrow. Leo asks how she managed to score such a hot story. Gwen guesses it was her magic. Leo laments that he’s got nothing for his column, pointing out that he had something great but someone had to go and guilt him out of it.

Jada asks Rafe why she would say anything to Leo, much less that Talia is in an abusive relationship. Rafe understands Leo is relentless and Jada was obviously upset. Jada worries that Leo is going to print every word that she said. Rafe encourages that if it ends up in his column, they will deal with it. Jada thanks him. Rafe says if she wants to go be with her sister, he will understand. Jada says she will go later but right now, the best way to help Talia is to find Colin, otherwise Talia could go down for everything that Colin made her do. Rafe promises that is not going to happen.

Talia returns home to her room and locks the door. Talia comments that she could use a long, hot shower. Talia then finds the police badge from the uniform that Colin stole, on the floor of her room. Talia then tries to run but is grabbed from behind.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Congratulations on your first day at your brand new.

Did it not go well? Oh no. It went great. So great that I quit. All because of your partner, Gwen.

Start date ASAP requirements. Don’t be Chloe Lane. 20. I need your help. I’m in trouble. Big trouble. What is it now, Marty? It’s a nightmare is what it is. There’s a cycle on Halluc. He’s got me the sights. Guess I surprised you, mother. I’m telling him. Boy. Yes you did. You don’t call, you don’t write. Oh, but look, what’s important is that you’re here now in the family home where you belong.

Yet another prodigal son, just what the family needed. This isn’t some sick competition, okay? This is about a child, a life. And I need you to, to be kind to each other and to me, because it, it breaks my heart at the one thing that I have longed for for so long. Something that is a, a blessing and a miracle ends up being fraught and painful.

I need you to help me through this, okay. Whatever the results are, whoever the father is. Can you do that for me please? Ah, Nicole. I have your results.

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

Can we go somewhere private please? I would love to, but I am the middle of dealing with an emergency. Does it have something to do with Colin Jeffrey? Well, it’s about a lot more than that. Abe disappeared this morning, too. Disappeared right out of his recovery room, and the precinct of the two of those things are probably connected.

Oh, where are you Colin? What are you up to now?

Colin, open up at the police.

What do you want? Yes, a warrant. Seriously, do you actually think I would be dumb enough to hide my brother at my own apartment? Maybe not, but if you are helping him, there may be evidence in here somewhere if I were helping him, which I’m not. I wouldn’t also be dumb enough to be leading clothes lying around.

Right.

You know, the department might be better off recruiting some officers who aren’t so easily overpowered by a guy who just fell off a roof. You’ll listen to me, Ms. Peterson. The mayor is missing and your brother might have him, and if you have the slightest idea of where he is, I suggest that you tell me now because I promise you things will not go well for your brother or you.

Could you be a bit more specific? This town is full of psychos. Hello? The one who tried to murder the mayor, not to mention his wife and daughter. Colin Bedford is out to get you. That makes no sense. Uh, you could try showing a little more concern if for no other reason than I’m covering half the rent. I just think you’re being a bit paranoid.

Oh, you’ve never heard the expression. Just because you’re paranoid does not mean they’re not out to get you. Okay, darling, why is Colin out to get you? Oh, thank you for asking. Finally, so here’s what happened. I lost my phone in the park, so I started to panic thinking about how my mentions must be piling up.

So I flagged down this super hot cop to help and it turned out to be him. Colin Bedford pose as a police officer. Yeah. And now he knows that I know that he’s no cop and he wants me dead. How long do you think it is until he shows up at the door?

So tell me. What took you so long to show up here? Yeah. Blame the tired antics of the US government. Let’s just say that they were less than thrilled to grant us our immunity in exchange for the turn of Shane Donovan’s son. So they made sure to make my customs process a rather arduous one. Well, I am just glad that you’re here now, finally, where you belong.

Mm-hmm. Now you remember your aunt Kristin? Oh yes. How could I forget yet? Last time I saw you? My quest for some precious jewels wound up putting my own jewels in quite an unnerving jeopardy, whatever are you talking about? You don’t recall our encounter in Amsterdam? You pointed a gun at my crotch. Oh man.

Yeah. Yeah, that, yeah. Well, I didn’t know you were my nephew at the time, huh? I thought you were some pesky. I s a agent in the thro of Inci Billy Reid. Okay. Enough. Hmm. Let us just let bygones be bygones, shall we? Especially a few two are going to be married. What? What?

I don’t get it. What? Why exactly did you quit your job at the newspaper? Two words. Too many letters. SWE rises in check. All right. What did she do? What didn’t she do? That bitch rolled out the unwelcome mat in so many awful ways. I lost count. Do you know where my office was? Wasn’t on the executive floor?

No, it was in the broom closet. She literally put an old desk in the closet with a landline and a dialup modem. Come on. There’s no way that true that you’re exaggerating. I, I wish I was. And then she was texting me every 45 minutes with some new unreachable sales goal. Maybe she was trying to motivate you.

Oh, come on, sander. She was setting me up to fail. Oh, listen, I know that you stuck your neck out for me for this job. I’m not gonna put up the crap like that from anyone. Don’t be sorry. I I should be sorry. I had no idea she’s gonna treat you like this. Well, you tried. Yeah, I did. I think the problem is you did not.

I’m sorry. What? Please don’t quit. Not yet. Why the hell not? Isn’t it obvious if you quit? Gwen Wenner.

Come on, Mattie. Nobody’s coming here to murder you. Well, another cockeyed optimist. You are Colin Bedford is on the run from the law, or the least of his problems matter if I go yapping to the police about my encounter with him, which obviously he doesn’t want. Hence he’d prefer me to be pushing up daisies.

Come now. What could you possibly tell the police that they don’t already know? I cannot believe you were being so bla about this. The guy is legit scary Gwenny, not to mention blazing hot, especially once he dropped the cop act and started talking in his real accent and a little smile, huh? So charming.

Honestly, I do feel like there was some chemistry between us. See, look at that. He probably thinks you’re hot too. If there was chemistry, you’ve got nothing to worry about. Just focus on something else. Like what? Light your next column. I am not writing about that. Limey. Hunk, if that’s what you mean.

Offering to tell his story is what got him riled up in the first place. Right. I get that. No, um. Actually, I need you to find me some dirt on somebody else.

Mother, I’ve been in America for less than an hour and you’re already trying to marry me off. To my Aunt Mel. Yes. Yes. And you. And you make this outrageous suggestion without consulting me first because I was confident that you go along with it. Look, you too aren’t related by blood, as you well know. And this is hardly breaking new dira grounds.

Didn’t my father raise you to be my brother? Tony’s intended. Yeah. Well that was a long time ago and hardly something I am proud of. Uh, but it was father’s wish and so you saw the wisdom in it, and I see we still do now. I raised my glass to the upcoming NEP tools. Of two superior human beings

outta curiosity. Has a Salem PD ever heard of conflict of interest? Let’s not forget you have family mixed up in this mess too, detective. My sister would’ve had nothing to do with this if it hadn’t been for your lunatic brother and his dry for revenge. Of course, your sister’s the innocent victim, even though she’s the one who’s actually committing the crimes that my brother’s being accused of.

Just finish your search and get out of here already. Okay. I. God, I fed enough in my mind with my boyfriend’s ex being pregnant. Excuse me. Oh, you didn’t know. Yeah. Nicole knocked up. And, um, since you’re bound to ask this, I’ll just save you the time. The baby might be Eric’s,

are you okay? Yeah, it’s just. It’s Abe. I know, I know. Maybe you should. We’re gonna find him, Nicole. I’ll get on the phone right now and I volunteer. Damir is security Force to helping the search. Thank you. Are, are there any leads as to where Abe went? Not yet. Um, listen, I need to go to my office today. Head at the hospital is waiting for an update.

Okay. Well we understand. Okay. I am, I’m if you need me. Thank you, Kayla, for running the test, Uhhuh.

This is, I know exactly who this piece of buttered toast is. Formerly hunky all-American ISA agent Kyle Graham, well still hunky, but now Dimitri von Roiner’s his name and blowing up the world is his game. Did you say he’s not dangerous? Okay, I might, but that’s just because it’s such a good story. So what is this supposed to be?

Some sort of jailhouse interview? Ah, you are a bit behind on the news, aren’t you, darling? No. Not only is Dimitri free as a bird, turns out he’s also got some deeper roots in this town. What kind of roots? Rotten ones. Our little handsome Dimitri here is a Demara, another one of Stefano’s bastards. Mm. Close Megan Hathaway’s son.

Ah, there’s a twist on a twist. Mm-hmm. And my sources say that his plane has just landed in Salem Evil family reunion. That’s what I want you to find out. Why is he here and what does he want? Sounds great. Lady gb, you’re have to get someone else to cover it. I’ve already got one psycho killer after me. I sure shoot and don’t need another one.

Yeah, sure. We’re aware that we’re not blood related, but we’re also not a good math. Yeah. And to put it mildly, this is especially not our age difference. Ah, watch it. And also other. General Incompatibilities, hang on, come on. I think you two could be highly compatible if you gave it a shot. You’re both extremely bright.

Mm-hmm. Charming. Mm-hmm. Charismatic. Put that aside. I propose that you propose Dimitri for practical reasons and I propose that you explain what the hell that means. Well, I have recently been made aware of the fact that there’s a very sizable amount of Von ROI money that Dimitri is in line to collect.

There are strings. There always are. Okay, and what are the strings? The trust specifies that he must be married by the time he turns 40. And how old are you now? 39 and three quarters. Mother. Why have I never heard of this? Trust? I’ll wait for the same reason I haven’t until now. There are some members of your extended family who are hoping that you won’t make the deadline, but the money is yours provided you act.

And how much money are we talking here? More than enough to kickstart our plans. Plans. Oh, that’s right. You weren’t here. Kristen and I want to take over the world. I assume you’re in

Eric and Nicole. They’re not even seeing each other. And Nicole’s dating edit Damara last I heard. She is. So if Nicole is pregnant with Eric’s baby, You can blame your sister for that one. What does my sister have to do with this? She’s the one that spiked those biscuits seems. Nicole and Eric got their hands on a couple and while under the influence got all about ej me birth control.

I see all that’s unfortunate for everyone involved. Yeah, it’s true. I mean, it must bring up some painful memories for you too. I mean, you and Eric. You would still be together. You hadn’t gotten that abortion. You guys could be singing Sweet Little Lullabies, little Eric or Erica Jr. Instead, he might finally get to be a father with someone else.

If you wanna wait to open that until we get news about hey. But I totally understand. Oh, okay. The FO sympathy. You want answers just as much as I do. Better to get this over and done with now, and once we have the answer, you can concentrate on bringing home your dear friend. Sure. Because it’s all about Abe Bright, ej.

You sick and tired of him hanging around, buzzing in your ear with all his sanc. Please, both of you just let me do this.

Well, what does it say,

Eric? It says that. You’re not a match. I knew it. I knew it. The child is mine. Old darling. It’s a miracle. Nothing less. Oh, we can give it a gift.

Congratulations. Oh, Eric, I’m sure of this. Stevens a bit, but in the long run it’s what’s best for everyone involved. We don’t have to go through the awkwardness of you and Nicole raising a child together while her and I in a relationship, and your girlfriend has spared the pain of you fathering a child with another woman.

In a sense, everyone to win it today. I guess that’s it. I wish you best of luck with everything. Thank you,

Dolly. This is a gift. It changes everything. It does.

See, told you you wouldn’t find anything.

Oh, look at there. No people, no clues, no breadcrumbs. Just me. If you feel like grilling somebody though, you could check in with Leo Stark. Why would I question Stark? Well, because he said he ran into my brother earlier today. What? Why didn’t you tell me that when I got here? Hmm. Oh, because it’s not my job to help you do your job.

You withheld vital information in an ongoing case. You wanna arrest me as an accessory? Go ahead. I would love nothing more than to sue you in the department for false arrest,

not.

Look, I know Gwen can be difficult at times, but please don’t close the door on this opportunity. You said yourself, the spectator could be the perfect fit for you. There’s nothing perfect about working with that witch. Ah, I know, but she’s only bullying you because she didn’t get away. You mean because she doesn’t like that I’m living here with you.

Whatever the reason. I know you can overcome this. You’re not afraid of bullies, aren’t you? Hell no. I’ve been standing up to them since I was in high school. There you go. So, you know, the only way to beat a bully is to prove to them that you can’t be pushed around, that they’re not gonna break you, not get bored and move on to the next target.

So, I’m just supposed to be miserable until she’s bored with me. Yes. Perfect. Exactly. But I, I’ll be there to minimize the misery or fight every indignity. She throws you away. And I just need you to fight too. I know you’ve got it in you. Oh, maybe I don’t wanna fight. Maybe I’m just tired, Chloe. It has only been one day.

Yeah, tomorrow’s gonna be the same way. And then the next day and the next day and the next day. Why should I subject myself to that? Do it for me.

Stay in the job for you. Look, Gwen and I are locked in a battle of Will and if you leave, I’ll be on my own against that woman. That woman who you used to love. Yeah. Well now she lives to antagonize me in it. But if you quit, she’s gonna use that as proof that I was wrong about you and everything else and she’ll never stop lording it over me.

I do believe that, Hmm. I mean, from here on out, it’ll just be one battle after another and unrelenting slog of bickering. And also, he’s gonna turn me into the most miserable roommate. You’ll come home every day to a darkened apartment and a brooding Scotsman just staring off into the distance, contemplating how his life turned into such a hot mess.

Mm-hmm. That does sound tragic. How could you possibly do that to me after everything we’ve been through, getting these pictures up on the walls? Okay, stop it. You had me at brooding Scotsman, so you will stick at it. You’ll stay at the job. I’ll give it another try. You won’t regret it, I promise. Mm, we’ll see about that.

In the meantime, pour us a couple glasses of that. Oh, forget the champagne. Let’s go out and celebrate. I’ll tell you wherever you wanna go. Oh, honestly, I’m not really in the mood. I’d rather just stay and put my feet up and watch a movie. Can we just order delivery? Absolutely not. You’re sacrificing yourself for my sanity.

You deserve better. I’m gonna prepare a feast now. I’m not named Cook for nothing. Hey, he’s got jokes for first a toast. To your ultimate victory in Gwen’s inevitable defeat.

Can’t believe the great lady whistleblower would pass on such a juicy story. And I can’t believe that you’ve forgotten how I’m the one who switched the emerald on that. A manian peacock, that va lo MiiR, whatever the hell his name is, needed to Doctor Evil the world. Well, that’s why I think your histories makes you so uniquely suited for this job, except that the guy probably wants me dead for foiling, his plants.

I don’t need another psycho when he put my head on the wall. Very well. We just have to find somebody else then to cover the greatest and largest story of the year somebody else can buy for the Pulitzer. Pulitzer. Yeah. Book deal. You know, you write a story like this, an article like this, and you get a podcast or bestseller or hit series.

I do love crime shows. Mm. Yeah. This is, uh, All the elements here for a great breakaway hit, money, power, hot, untrustworthy guy. You know, I’m actually thinking this could be seven figure deal, seven figures. That’s one with six zeros after. Hmm. At least, but it’s okay. I understand your trepidation. I wouldn’t wanna put you in any danger, so just pretend I didn’t say anything.

Well, let’s not be hasty. I, I do know how to keep myself safer on dangerous men. Are you saying you’re interested, interested? No, I, well, I mean, no. Still No. What good is all that money? If you’re too dead to spend it, find someone else to cover it, that’s fine. You want something bloody done. You have to just do it yourself, don’t you?

You’re gonna write it. You’re dare write. I’m gonna write it. And you know what? If something does come out of this, don’t you dare expect me to share the half with you, Mr. Leo Lion hearted, who’s obviously not. Lock the doors. Now you dunno who’s gonna come calling. Do you?

So this is what you meant by having a plan to finance our mutual ambitions. Exactly. If we keep it in the family, if you will, then we can get the money quickly. And that would save us time having to find a suitable mate for Dimitri and avoiding the risk that she’ll turn out to be a gold digger. Mm, yes.

Much better for me to marry someone’s steady and trustworthy like Auntie Christian. Oh, and look who’s talking Agent Graham. All right, you too. No sniping. Opportunity is knocking and we must answer.

Did you bring the SWAT team with you this time? Hey Eric? Yeah. Any news about your brother and did they find him? No. No, but you did just miss Detective Jada and her search warrant, complete waste of time, obviously, since they didn’t find anything. Right. You heard about Abe? Yeah. You don’t think, no. No. Oh, look, Colin is desperate.

He’s, he’s not a monster. He’s also not stupid enough to put a big target on his back like that. How did you hear about it? Is it, is it on the news? No, not yet. I was, I was at the hospital and Kayla told me, oh, what were you doing at the hospital? Nicole got her results from the DNA test, and I’m not there.

Am I? Oh, you don’t have to pretend you aren’t happy,

Bob. I can’t deny that’s what I was hoping to hear, but I know how much you wanna be a father, and I see you’re hurting. It’s not the right time’s. Probably for the best. Right.

What’s happening, what’s truly happening? We’re having a baby together. I know this sounds strange, but I, I felt it all along that this was meant to be.

So, um, do we share the news or do we keep this to ourselves? Um, I, I think. I think we should wait. Are you worried about your history? I don’t wanna be negative, and I also, I don’t wanna forget that there’s a chance, I mean, a really good chance that I can’t carry this baby to term.

I understand we’ve dealt with this disappointment twice before. But don’t let the past dictate the future. We have to remain positive and the first step is to get you the best care possible and there is no time to waste.

All right. No time to waste. Come and get it while it’s hot.

Egg sandwiches. Well, the one thing I really do know how to make well is a traditional Scottish breakfast, so I made a kinda like dinnertime version of it. So before you have drops cones, we have eggs with crowdy cheese and a weeper a ham. And you’ll be glad to know I spare you the haggas. So here’s some sausages instead.

Hmm. I don’t understand half of what you just said, but it sounds impressive. Well, please withhold judgment until after you’ve tried it, but go ahead.

Okay. There’s a lot of pressure with you watching me right now. Oh, sorry. How does this help? Ooh, okay.

I’m actually really good. Yeah? Mm-hmm. That’s really good. You got some skills, Mr. Cook. Well, I will say that it does pair rather nicely with the champagne. I am sure it does. You know the French stole the idea for champagne from Scott’s Champagne. There’s no way that that’s true. It’s absolutely true. No.

Scottish people invented all kinds of tasty things like hamburgers and pizza. Okay. You were literally just making things up right Now. Why would I do that? I am not a liar. Chloe Le. No Scottish people. Well, very famous inventors. We invented hoverboards. We invented zippers. We invented kissing. Kissing the Scott’s invented kissing.

Well, maybe we didn’t invent it, but we certainly perfected it.

Wow. Do I hear wedding bells? I have already picked out the most gorgeous mother of the groom dress. I gotta hand it to you, mom. You certainly thought this all through. But my answer is no. Kristen. Oh Shirley. You are smart enough to make the right choice and persuade your nephew that this is the best strategy that we have.

Ah, sorry, megs, I’m gonna side with your boy on this. I’m gearing up for a custody fight and showing up in court with my nephew on my arm is not gonna win me brownie points with the judge. Pathetic. A relaxed mother. Plenty of fish in the seat. Yes, and most of them are not suitable for you to marry. If we are not keeping it in the family.

We have to find someone very special for you, Dimitri. Woohoo. Anyone home? The door is open. I’m looking for Dimitri. Yvonne Ner.

I suppose it wouldn’t be so bad to get up close and personal with that. Uh, funny. You were homosexual instead of homicidal. Oh my god, what’s the other homicidal maniac?

Open up. It’s a belief. Yeah. Yeah, I know. What can I do for you, detective? I understand you had a run in with Colin Bedford. Uh, yes I did. It was very brief. Still a little chat, all small talk. I don’t know anything, I swear. Oh, I think you do. And you’re going to tell me everything about the encounter from start to finish.

Unless you’d like to spend the night in Joseph,

I’ll be putting out a statement about the Colin Bedford possible involvement in Abe carver’s disappearance in about an hour. But until then, if there’s any press inquiries, please refer them to the administrator’s office. Uh oh. Okay. That’s great. Thanks so much. Come in Dr. Johnson. Uh, a moment. Um, sure.

Nicole. Hi. How are you doing? She is doing wonderfully well. We both are. Now that we’ve gotten the news, we’re hoping for. Oh, well, I’m glad that’s the case. Please. Uh, have a seat. Go ahead. How can I help? Uh, well, uh, we were concerned about my medical history. You know, if I can carry the baby to term, and as you know, the scar tissue on my uterus has created issues.

Well, I know you’ve had your struggles. Perhaps there have been some advances in treatment since the last time she was pregnant. Anything that could help boost our chances. Well, I’m not a fertility doctor obviously, but I can certainly give you a referral. Excellent, excellent. And, uh, we will remain optimistic and hopeful.

As you should. Well Nicole, I need to go make a statement to the board about, uh, the Abe situation, but I wanna talk to you, um, and I will be getting you guys that specialist phone number. Okay? Thank you.

I’m in your corner.

See you later.

I promise you this, I will move heaven and earth to get us a successful outcome. You will bring this baby, our baby to turn.

I’ll pray for that. I love you, Nicole.

I,

I

speaking that I’m here with you and I just.

I look forward to our future together.

I love you. I love you.

Sorry, Eric. I just can’t risk losing. You call this baby ends up being yours. That test has to come back negative.

You.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Adam: These, uh, check-ins really aren’t necessary. I could be much more productive actually working at mccall. Don’t you think?

Victor: I’ll be the judge of that, really.

Adam: And what is it you wanted to discuss?

Victor: Well, my goodness, if it isn’t jack and billy boy abbott.

Billy: I feel like I’m witnessing a nature documentary here with the two newmans out in the wild. Leader of the pack showing the young upstart how to take over the world.

Adam: You see, this is why I’d rather be at the office ’cause they let guys like him in here.

Jack: How are you two gentlemen doing this glorious morning?

Adam: Well, jack, you are in a good mood given the circumstances.

Jack: Oh, circumstances be damned. Everything’s coming up roses for me. Personal life and professional.

Victor: Ain’t that something? You know, I think you’ve been around your own perfume too much. You seem delirious.

Jack: Oh, how so?

Victor: You let my son go and you put billy boy abbott into his position. And I understand that you are engaged to of all people, diane jenkins.

Jack: I am sorry, victor. Nothing you say can possibly spoil my mood this morning.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

[ Nate sighs ]

Audra: Nate. Uh, come join me. Well, we can have an impromptu strategy session. Or we can go somewhere else, uh, more private if you want.

Nate: Audra, I’m sorry, but, um, I have to get–

Victoria: Oh, hey.

Audra: Oh, uh, I didn’t know you two decided to meet. Anything I can do to help?

Victoria: Uh, thanks, but no. Nate and I, we have a few things that we need to hash out. You know, I just remembered, I left a couple of those files up in the newman executive suite.

Audra: Oh, uh, newman keeps a suite here?

Victoria: Yeah, we have for years.

Nate: Well, um, we might as well just discuss it up there then? I’ll loop you in later if necessary.

Tucker: Don’t you just hate when that happens? You work so hard and then you get dismissed because you just don’t rank high enough for one of those kinds of intimate one-on-one meetings.

Sharon: You would think that you brilliant college kids could come up with a better name for your dorm cat than borgnine. Don’t you think?

[ Faith laughs ]

Faith: But when you see him, he’s totally a borgnine. Definitely not a fluffy or a felix. Where is borgy anyway? He wasn’t upstairs. I thought he was down here.

Sharon: Oh. It’s just an alert about a sale at fenmore’S. It’s nothing about cameron.

Faith: Good. Maybe that jerk finished getting his kicks out of playing his sick little mind games and left.

Sharon: I hope so. But, you know, we need to stay on alert just in case he is still around.

Faith: I was thinking about going out for a little bit. That’s okay, right?

Sharon: Um, I don’t know if that’s such a good idea right now.

Faith: I’m just going to the tack house to see the baby. I– I promise I won’t go off the ranch property.

Sharon: Okay. That should be safe, but stay close and be careful.

Faith: I will.

[ Both screaming ]

Sharon: Faith, what happened? Are you all right?

Faith: Borgnine. He’s not breathing. I think he’s dead.

[ Sharon gasps ]

Sharon: Oh, my god. Faith, get in the house now. All right. I’m gonna call chance. You call your dad now. Now.

Summer: Morning.

[ Kyle sighs ] Did you get some sleep?

Kyle: How could I? Did you?

Summer: Is anyone else here?

Kyle: I sent harrison out with the nanny. Everyone else has left for the day.

Summer: So early.

Kyle: Yeah. Maybe now, you’ll finally come clean and tell me the truth.

Keep it quilted means

you keep it the best.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Summer: You already know the truth. I mean, as crazy as it is, you know everything that’s important.

Kyle: Do I? Do I know the whole truth really?

Summer: Kyle, my mom is alive. Don’t you see how incredible that is? And your mom is off the hook.

Kyle: You never answered my question.

Summer: What question?

Kyle: Last night, I asked you and I wanna know, how long have you known phyllis was alive?

Summer: You know how long I’ve known. You’re the one that told me that daniel saw her. I mean, what– what difference does it make anyway?

Kyle: It makes a big difference and you know it. So just tell me, tell me, when was the first time you saw phyllis?

Summer: Yesterday. Just like you. And, uh, no, I didn’t call you the second I got in there. And maybe– maybe that was a mistake, but I was so overwhelmed seeing my mom and I wasn’t hiding the truth from you.

Kyle: No, you didn’t seem that overwhelmed when I got there.

Summer: That’s because I had been in the room for a second at that point. I had a little bit of time to get used to seeing my mom.

[ Kyle sighs ]

Kyle: You didn’t have that much time. I was following you, summer. I wasn’t that far behind you. I know you didn’t have enough time to react to phyllis being alive. A few minutes at most, that is not enough time to get used to the fact that your mother, who you believed was dead was standing there alive and well in front of you. So just tell me.

Summer: I’ve told you!

Kyle: You have known a lot longer, haven’t you?

Summer: Kyle, come on.

Kyle: Why can’t you just be honest with me?

Summer: I don’t even know why you would think that. I don’T.

Kyle: Okay, I had all night to think back on everything has happened. So many interactions. Little things that just didn’t make sense at the time.

Summer: What are you talking about?

Kyle: The arguments between you and your brother, phrases you used in fights, little glances. Even last night when phyllis said she hid out nearby so she could be close to her kids. That was not the first time she reached out to you.

Summer: I don’t know why she didn’T.

Kyle: Summer, that could not have been the first time you saw your mother. What about yesterday when I found you at the club after you said you were going to work?

Summer: Wait, is that why you started following me around like a criminal?

Kyle: No, that’s not the reason I was following you, but I’m glad I did. All of the times that you ran off without an explanation and lame ones at best, you were going to see phyllis, weren’t you? When were you gonna tell me what you’ve been hiding?

Victor: Jack, I really hope that just because diane is not declared a murderer doesn’t mean that she won’t send your life down to rack and ruin.

Jack: Oh, victor, I am far too happy with diane’s freedom and jabot’s latest profit projections to let you get to me today.

Victor: Well, isn’t that nice?

Billy: And you know me, I’m not one to pat myself on the back, but I will take some credit for the profit margins off the men’s product line. You know the one that you dropped the ball on, adam?

[ Adam laughs ]

Adam: You must be very proud. Grooming products for men. It’s like you’re starting a revolution, billy.

Jack: We are shooting for the moon these days, adam. With billy by my side and diane free and happy, nothing’s stopping us.

Victor: Do me a favor, jack and just keep diane jenkins grubby hands away from my wife’s jewelry. That would be a move in the right direction.

Billy: On that note?

Jack: Yeah.

Adam: Enjoy your breakfast.

Billy: Thank you.

Chance: Okay. You two are good to relax now. I got an officer taking your cat in for examination. Two others searching the property. I would like to ask you a couple questions.

[ Door clicks open ]

Nick: You guys okay?

Faith: I’m fine. Just a little shaken up, that’s all.

Sharon: Yeah, me too, but we’re gonna be fine, okay? We’ll be all right.

Nick: What happened?

Sharon: Faith was on her way to the tack house when she found the cat that she brought home from college just laying on the front doorstep, dead.

Faith: Poor borgnine.

Chance: Do you know how old the cat was or if he had any signs of illness?

Faith: I don’t know his exact age, but he was in good health. I took him to the vet right before I left for break. He had all his shots and a full exam.

Chance: Okay. Well, we’re gonna get our forensics team to examine him, see if we can find out exactly what happened, okay?

Nick: That’s good. But I’m pretty sure I know what those results are gonna say.

Sharon: So do I. There’s no doubt in my mind about what happened, nick. This was cameron’s doing.

Nick: That bastard could still be on the ground somewhere.

Chance: We got that covered. Don’t worry about it.

Nick: I’m gonna go find him myself.

Chance: There’s no need. I got a full team searching the property. Let the professionals handle it.

Nick: Nobody knows this property better than me. I know where to look.

Chance: Nick. Nick!

Today, my friend you did it, you did it, you did it…

Billy: So, what’s up?

Jack: You sound suspicious.

Billy: Well, something’s going on. I can tell by the way you were grandstanding with victor. Not everything is perfect right now, is it?

Jack: We have had our share of triumphs lately, but there has been a recent very troubling development.

Billy: What is that?

Jack: I assume you haven’t spoken with ashley recently?

Billy: No, not lately. Why?

Jack: She made quite an announcement last night at the house.

Billy: Good news? Bad news?

Jack: She and tucker are planning on getting married as soon as possible.

Audra: Just so you know, tucker, I happen to have had private meetings with nate up in my own suite.

Tucker: Hmm. But not the same caliber of meeting that victoria’s getting right about now.

Audra: Our meetings are the kind that I prefer. Strictly business.

Tucker: Is your name audra charles?

Audra: Yes, tucker.

Tucker: ‘Cause I don’t remember any of our meetings being strictly business.

Audra: That was the past.

Tucker: Ah!

Audra: Mm-hmm. I am focused on the bigger prize now. The top spot at newman media.

Tucker: Yeah, but nate. Hmm. Nate. He gets under your skin, don’t he? And it’s just killing you right now how close he’s getting to victoria.

[ Audra sighs ]

Nate: Now, where did you say you put those files?

Victoria: I don’t know. Maybe they’re in the bed under the sheets. Did you look there?

Nate: No, but that looks like a much more comfortable place for files than that hard desk in your office.

Victoria: I think that work can wait. I mean, newman media’s bottom line is doing great these days.

[ Laughs ] Our campaigns are successful. Our bottom line is up. I think that we deserve to take some time off. Celebrate all of our hard work.

Nate: I agree.

Victoria: Yeah.

Nate: Our ratings are up too. Our audiences across all platforms has almost doubled.

Victoria: Really? Tell me more.

Nate: Our demographics are right on target.

Victoria: Right? What does that do to our bottom line?

Nate: The second quarter projections will outperform.

Victoria: Mm-hmm. Year to date or rolling 12 months?

Nate: Uh, it will exceed every quarter in the last three fiscal.

Victoria: Oh, god. Speaking of outperforming.

Adam: Well, leaving jabot was the right move.

Victor: Jack abbott is so full of hot air.

Adam: Yeah, you were right about that all along. There was no way that I was gonna fit in there. God. All those abbotts.

Victor: Very glad you are ready to move on, son.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Victor: Now, let’s talk about mccall. I have some– some ideas.

Adam: Okay. Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait. Hold on. Before you go any further, I’m already in the process of making some major moves in the company. I’m planning on shaking up a few things around there.

Kyle: I know you, summer. I can tell you are hiding something from me. I hate to ask you this, but can I see your phone?

Summer: Wait. Are you serious? Kyle, there’s nothing on my phone.

Kyle: Then, you will prove me wrong and I will feel horrible about it. And if that happens, I will apologize profusely. What are these?

Summer: What?

Kyle: All of these texts from a number that’s not in your contacts. “Let’s meet, please.” “Where are you?”

Summer: I– I don’t know. I don’t know that number.

Kyle: “We need to talk.” “Bring bro for fam peace.” All of these messages from the same number. And you replied. These were from phyllis, weren’t they? But it– it sounds like she hadn’t seen daniel. I– how could that be? He told us he’d seen her, that’s how he knew for sure she was alive.

Summer: Kyle, can we please drop this?

Kyle: No, daniel wasn’t the first one she reached out to. He wasn’t the first one who saw her alive. It was you. You were the one she reached out to from the beginning, but– but why? Why? Or because you were the one she knew would lie for her.

Summer: Yeah. [ Sniffling ] She knew that I would help her. That to protect her I would look you in your eyes and lie to your face.

[ Sobbing ] If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Kyle: What the hell, summer? You lied about something that directly affected all of our lives for months. How could you do that?

Summer: But kyle, it’s over. It’s finally over. I’m relieved that this secret is out. I– I hated having to lie to you.

Kyle: No, no, no, no. You didn’t have to lie.

Summer: You’re right. But kyle, I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Yes, I am furious at my mom for what she did and the position that she put me in, but I was just so happy that she was even alive.

Kyle: Come on.

Summer: I– I was desperate to keep her out of jail.

Kyle: No. So, wait. Daniel was covering for you all this time? Why? What would make him do that? Why would it have been so bad if you were the one who shared your mother’s secret?

Summer: I don’t know. He just didn’t want me to have to deal with the questions or accusations, I guess.

Kyle: No, he was protecting you. If you saw phyllis first, that means you saw her when my mother was in jail. You could have cleared my mother’s name and set her free. You could have gotten her out of that god awful place, but instead, you decide to sit back and do nothing!

Billy: We gotta stop this. You know that, right? I mean, there’s no way that we can let ashley marry that conman.

Jack: Ashley marrying tucker mccall would be a colossal mistake, but I don’t know how we’re gonna stop it.

Billy: I don’t know either. But we gotta do something. I mean, we can’t just sit here and let our sister put her faith in that scam artist.

Jack: I’d like to think ashley would realize that herself.

Billy: You know, I was gonna give him the benefit of the doubt until all of this coup stuff started to happen. Because I guarantee you, he is the one driving this.

Jack: Well, I’m not gonna be the one to talk her out of it. She doesn’t listen to me. Listen, I have tried to reason with her for months to no avail.

Billy: How does she not learn her lesson?

Jack: You know, when they first mentioned this engagement, I thought it was just a jab at diane after she’d gotten her freedom, but no, I’m starting to think this wedding is imminent.

Billy: Not if I have anything to say about it.

Jack: Ashley keeps saying that her relationship with tucker is just like my relationship with diane. It is nothing like it. They have nothing in common.

Billy: No, but, you know, let’s just be honest, right? They both have a scandalous past of bad behavior.

Jack: Hold on. She caught him red-handed with jabot financial documents in his hotel suite. She knew he was coming after the family company. She alerted us so we could stop him. Now, we’re supposed to just forget that?

Billy: No. No, ashley’s too smart for that. I don’t think any of this is forgotten.

Jack: What does that mean?

Billy: I think she has something up her sleeve with this marriage thing. It’s too calculated. And I don’t know if tucker’s involved or not, but I guarantee you it has something to do with jabot.

Adam: So, I’ve been, uh, doing my research and mccall desperately needs to be streamlined. It’s crucial that we cut the fat and we sell it off.

Victor: Like what?

Adam: The music department. It’s the company’s least profitable sector and it’s weighing the company down. There’s absolutely no upside.

Victor: Do you realize that music is the very foundation of what tucker built? It’s it cornerstone.

Adam: It was. But going forward, I’ll be focused on newer media and the streaming divisions.

Victor: You realize that a move like that will put you in direct competition with newman media?

Adam: Exactly.

[ Door clicks open ]

Sharon: Oh, good. You’re back.

Nick: There’s no sight of him anywhere. Ranch security and gcpd are combing the property.

Sharon: I think I was more worried that you would find him.

Nick: I’m sure he is long gone. He’d be a fool to stick around and risk getting caught.

Chance: If he was even here. We don’t even know how the cat died yet.

Faith: I’m gonna head upstairs and start calling my friends to break the sad news. They trusted me with borgnine.

Sharon: That’s a very good idea. I’m gonna come up and check on you soon. Look, I know you have your doubts. And as a detective, you don’t wanna jump to conclusions, I get that, but I am more than certain that this was cameron’s doing. I feel it in my gut. Just like the packages he sent me at crimson lights, and right here, right out there on this doorstep. These are messages for me from a madman.

Chance: If they are messages, what do they mean?

Sharon: They’re warnings of what’s to come. (Chef vo) fancy feast.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. When it comes to your hair, ingredients matter.

Victor: Son, I gave you mccall to bring you back into our family. Not to use it as a weapon against your sister.

Adam: Okay, you’re assuming the worst of my intentions. That’s not what I’m doing. This, it’s simply good business.

Victor: It isn’T. Not when your last name is newman. You’re cutting off your nose to spite your face, son.

Adam: I don’t have any stake in newman enterprises. I accepted your offer to run mccall. That’s where my focus is. That’s my only concern and priority right now.

Victor: Your priority should be your family above all else.

Adam: Can I assume that you’re gonna have this conversation with victoria when she comes after me?

Victor: Let me warn you, going after newman media is a declaration of war and I will not have it.

Adam: Dad, I am not out to obliterate newman media. I wanna take it over. It was mine to begin with. Do you remember? Do you remember what we created before victoria snatched it away from me? All I wanna do is bring it back to where it started. You see, it’s about family.

Nate: That’s nice.

Victoria: So good.

Nate: Yeah, I like it. You really liked those second quarter numbers, didn’t you?

[ Victoria laughs ]

Victoria: I know that it’s weird, but I just get turned on mixing business and pleasure. That’s just so satisfying on so many different levels.

Nate: I agree. I’m glad you’re satisfied.

Victoria: Well, I admire your determination, and I really love this little distraction, but you know we have work to do.

Nate: Okay. Good. You know, I was looking at newman’s website for, uh, the real estate development. I had an idea.

Victoria: Please tell me. I’m all ears.

Nate: What if my tech team updated the site with virtual tours of the properties currently under construction? It would show off our outstanding work in various stages of production while highlighting our high profile client list. It could make for a great marketing tool. Don’t you think?

[ Victoria chuckles ]

Victoria: I love that you took the initiative to think of something like this. But I mean, I like it. I do, I’m gonna run it past my mother and nick, and see if they’re interested in investing in the concept.

Nate: YeaH. [ Clears throat ]

Victoria: What’s wrong? You’re not worried about my brother, are you?

Nate: I just hope he doesn’t get the wrong idea about my suggestion. I’d hate for him to claim that I’m overstepping again and working on some power play out of my purview.

Victoria: You don’t have to worry about nicholas. I’ll handle my brother.

Audra: Nate and victoria’s growing relationship doesn’t bother me a bit. The closer they get, the better it is for my game plan.

Tucker: Okay. If that’s the truth, then I admire your resolve. But seriously, I also know you. And I know that behind all the manipulations and schemes, you got a big heart.

Audra: Well, um, even if I did have lingering feelings for nate, it’s not like I could do anything about them. Interfering with his budding romance with our boss would ruin everything that I’ve been working so hard for.

Tucker: Oh, that’s a shame.

Audra: Yeah. I guess my only choice is to keep my distance.

Tucker: May I offer you some sage advice?

Audra: That’ll be a hard pass. I don’t put too much credence into your advice these days.

Tucker: Oh. It’s been working out well for me. I walked away from mccall to find myself not only engaged to the woman of my dreams, but, uh… with this brand new golden opportunity staring me in the face.

Summer: Kyle, I promise you I– I wasn’t gonna let diane rot in jail, but by the time I even had a chance to process the fact that my mom was alive, she was already out on bail.

Kyle: No, on house arrest, awaiting trial for murder. And you justified staying quiet how? In the minds of the people of this town, my mother was already tried and convicted. Still today, people believe she is guilty.

Summer: She’s out now. The charges have been dropped.

Kyle: No, no, no, no. You don’t get to think that absolves you from all the pain and the trauma she went through. You didn’t just sit back and stay quiet. You were actually upset with daniel for coming forward, for doing the right thing.

Summer: No.

Kyle: That’s what you were fighting about, wasn’t it?

Summer: No! We just disagreed on how to keep our mom out of jail.

Kyle: Exactly. You wanted to keep it a secret and daniel knew that wasn’t right. And my god, my mother would still be on trial for murder if it wasn’t for daniel!

[ Exhales in frustration ] When were you gonna come forward, summer? After she was convicted and sent off to prison?

Summer: No. I never would’ve let it get that far. I promise you that. I just needed time to figure out a way to protect my mom.

Kyle: This doesn’t come down to time. This comes down to one thing and there is no other way to spin it. You sacrificed my mother to protect yours. If you think you, a child in your care,

Jack: Oh, I confronted ashley about her potential coup plot and put her on notice.

Billy: Yeah? You think that’s gonna stop her? ‘Cause I guarantee you it’s not gonna stop tucker and he’s the driving force behind this.

Jack: She claims tucker was no part of any efforts on her part to reach out to individual board members.

Billy: I don’t care what she claims. Tucker is the one that put the seed in her head. I guarantee it.

Jack: I just like to think that the sister we love and grew up with would not allow herself to be manipulated by this guy again.

Billy: Even if she claims she’s trying to save jabot from a non-existent threat from diane–

Jack: At least, she would ask for a prenup. But to fall into his web of lies and make herself vulnerable and her shares in the company vulnerable makes no sense.

Billy: You know, tucker is a free agent right now. And he’s got money to burn after selling mccall. And jabot looks pretty tempting to a shark like him. Puts him in striking distance of a board seat.

Jack: Whoa! Whoa! Don’t even put that out there.

Billy: Listen, all I’m saying is that ashley could make a compelling argument for expanding the board, which we have talked about, but we’ve always said it has to be a family member. If our sister marries him… it makes him a family member.

Audra: How did you manage to achieve all of that? Snagging ashley, and this mysterious golden opportunity all at once?

Tucker: I just… opened my mind, you see. And I keep it open. Open to each and every possibility. And I’m willing to risk everything because everything you see is an illusion. And with that bit of wisdom, I must bid you good day.

Audra: Uh, was– was that wisdom or just a bunch of nonsense?

Tucker: Hmm. Only when you are able to discern the difference between the two, grasshopper, will you be halfway to enlightenment.

Audra: Yeah. Random nonsense.

Tucker: Namaste, baby.

[ Audra chuckles ]

[ Footsteps departing ]

Summer: Kyle, you gotta believe me, I was trying to figure out a way to keep both of our moms out of prison. I– I only kept quiet to buy time to bring my mom home safely. That’s it.

Kyle: I’m sorry, summer. I can’t accept your justifications. You were only thinking about you and your mother. You completely disregarded how your actions would affect my family, our family.

Summer: No, I was– I was trying to do what was right for everyone.

Kyle: No, no, no. Stop, stop, stop. You have to own up to your actions here. You weren’t just sitting back and watching my mother suffer. You watched me suffer. I was worried as hell about you. I was worried how this would affect our marriage. How it would affect our harrison. I thought you were pushing me away because of something I had done. That I somehow couldn’t be the husband you needed.

Summer: But that wasn’t it at all.

Kyle: No, what was I supposed to think? You kept pushing me away. You kept me at a distance for a reason. One reason. To hide your damn lies.

Chance: Sharon, we don’t know for sure if cameron is behind any of this yet.

Sharon: I’m telling you that I am sure. Cameron wants me to know that I cannot hide from his abuse. That I’m not even safe in my own home with armed security guards. Even victor’s extra security can’t keep me safe. This man is coming for me. I can feel it!

Chance: We need proof. Why isn’t he showing up on any of the security footage?

Nick: It’s probably because he was disguised as a newman guard.

Chance: What?

Nick: One of my dad’s security team was found drugged and tied up and thrown into a closet last night at newman towers and his uniform was missing.

Chance: Why am I just now hearing about this? Did they report it?

Nick: Probably not. Chance, they like to keep things like this in house.

Chance: All right. That’s great, nick, I’m trying to help you and you’re withholding information like that from me.

Nick: Well, I’m telling you now.

Sharon: Isn’t that more proof that cameron is behind this?

Chance: Yes, it could be, but I cannot investigate something that has not been reported, okay? So, is there anything else you aren’t telling me?

Sharon: Look, I understand as a detective, you need to look at things from all angles, but you do not know cameron like we do. You were not there to hear him promise that we would soon find out why he came back here and what he’s after. He’s definitely after revenge. And that poor animal was just his latest victim in his sick and dangerous games.

[ Phone chimes ]

Chance: One second.

Sharon: What is it?

Nick: Did they find him?

Chance: [ Sighs ] No. But the cat was definitely poisoned.

[ Nick sighs ] Hey! It’s your dry skin.

Audra: That tucker mccall, he’s always intruding where he’s not invited.

Victor: Hmm.

Audra: You know, he never misses an opportunity to just drop in and play his little mind games.

Victor: Mm-hmm. But you’re still working together.

Audra: Oh, no. That’s long behind us.

Victor: Ah.

Audra: Yeah.

Victor: Well, he’s of no concern to me, but let me ask you something. How do you like working at newman media? I mean, how do you like working with nate?

Audra: Uh, nate? Nate is amazing.

Victor: Really?

Audra: Mm-hmm, you know, I am learning so much from his instinctive business savvy.

Victor: Instinctive business savvy, how’s that?

Audra: Well, he just seems to know the right moves to make and questions to ask when needed, yeah.

Victor: All right. All signs of a good leader.

Audra: Oh, yes, yes. We all take our cues from him, because his business style… inspires us all.

Victor: Hmm.

Jack: I don’t care if it’s tucker’s idea or ashley’S. I don’t like the sound of any of this.

Billy: Even if ashley is in charge of this coup, she is crazy to depend on tucker. I don’t trust him. I don’t trust him as far as I can throw him and I’d like to throw him through that brick wall.

Jack: Yeah. You and me both.

Billy: I’ll do whatever it takes. I will not let him hurt our sister, even if I have to cut them off at the knees to stop this, I will do whatever it takes to protect jabot.

Summer: Kyle, you’ve gotta forgive me, okay? You’ve gotta forgive me. I will make it up to you if you just let me.

Kyle: I– I just don’t see how that can happen, summer. The more I think about it, the worse it gets. It killed me to watch you and what I thought was inconsolable grief.

Summer: I was– I was devastated.

Kyle: Yeah, but after you found out the truth? How long until you stopped grieving and started putting on the act of the grieving daughter? It is diabolical. I thought I was watching you suffer, but it was all a lie.

Summer: I was suffering lying to you, kyle. It was torture for me.

Kyle: No, and you were so damn good at it. You lied repeatedly to my face! I’m done, I can’t take any more of this.

Summer: Kyle, wait! Look– kyle, I need to know what you’re gonna do, I– please, please don’t– don’t tell anybody where my mom is.

Kyle: My god, you are still putting her first. Expecting me to cover for her after everything that’s happened? I don’t know what’s real with you anymore.

Summer: No, kyle, wait! Kyle!

[ Door shuts closed ]

[ Exhales in frustration ]

Nick: Of course, the cat was poisoned. What more proof do you need? You gotta put him in cuffs.

Chance: There’s still no evidence that proves cameron did any of this. And nick, the cat was outside. This is a ranch. There’s a thousand things out there that could’ve made him sick.

Sharon: This has cameron kirsten’s name all over it.

Chance: I get it. And I am sorry, but this is the way that I have to handle it. Just know I will see this through. You have my word. Now, I’m gonna go to newman tower, and see what I can find out about this stolen uniform. Stay close to home. Keep the doors locked. Call me if you need anything.

Sharon: Okay.

[ Door clicks open ]

Nick: This is so frustrating. I wish there was something more we could do.

Sharon: I can’t believe this is happening, nick. Why is he doing this to me?

Nick: Sharon, you are safe here, okay? And so is faith.

Sharon: You know, there was something that chance said. The cat, he wasn’t outside. Faith didn’t let him out. I didn’t let him out. He was here. He was inside the whole time.

Nick: You think he was inside your house?

Sharon: He had to have been. Cameron was here. He was inside the house. How else could he have poisoned the cat?

Nick: That’s it. I’ve had it. I’m not waiting around anymore. I’m gonna find cameron and put an end to this for good.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Siren wailing ] Esme: Come in. Drew, hey. Hey, hey. I heard the dna test came back, so come on. Well, it’s official. I’m trina’s father. What?!

[ Chuckles ] Congratulations, man. Thank you. Wow, that is the best thing in the whole world. How do you feel? Man, I —

[ Exhales deeply ] She’s a gem. I hit the jackpot, right? Yeah. I got goose bumps. Look at that. I do. I do. I mean, trina’s just such an amazing young woman. Yeah, you know… I do have my regrets about all the time we had apart. Well… but, hey, I’m looking forward to future. That is the curtis that I know right there. Are you — is that why you’re here right now? Am I barging in on some daughter time right — no, no, trina’s staying with josslyn at carly’S. Okay. Okay. So she’s not ready to come back home yet? No, but I am. I moved my things in.

Really? Why you sound so surprised? Well — well, because last time we talked, you said — you said that you were kind of conflicted about your feelings. So does that mean you got everything figured out? I’m zeke. Jordan. But like I said — no, no, no. I heard you loud and clear. I’m just gonna get my drink, and I’ll go.

If that’s still what you want. A tequila soda and a lime. You’re awfully sure of yourself, aren’t you? I’ve always had my way with people. Only child? Uh, no, I have a sister. Why? Hmm. Well, it’s been my experience that many overconfident people have grown up as the sole focus of their parents. Hmm. Well, my confidence and i will leave you alone. Enjoy your drink.

[ Monitors beeping ]

[ Door opens ] Good evening, willow. How are you holding up? I just started my shift, but I wanted to check in on my very favorite patient. You doing okay? Yes, clara, I… I don’t think I can be anything other than absolutely grateful. Grateful is good, but a bone marrow transplant is a very difficult procedure. It’s okay to say you’re in pain.

[ Sighs ] Okay, then, uh… it hurts way more than I expected. I just can’t find a comfortable position to sit in. Well, if it’s any comfort, that’s a common reaction.

[ Exhales deeply ] Now, we just have to find some ways to distract you.

[ Chuckles weakly ] Would you like it if I had your mom come in? My mom? Yes. She’s been camped out here 24/7, barely left your side. I’m sure she would love to see you, if you’re up to it. Laura: Hey. Hey. Got a minute? Of course. What’s up? I need to talk to you about something. As opposed to in about 30 minutes, when I get home from work? Yeah. Yeah, it’s that important. Okay. What is it? Oh, it’s — it’s that important.

[ Chuckles ] I’ve made a decision about something. Um, I know you’re gonna try to talk me out of it, but I’m not gonna change my mind. Okay. Hit me. I’m going to look for nikolas. Or more specifically, I am going to russia to look for nikolas.


Can’t believe chase has been gone for so long. And you know what? He isn’t your waiter. We can’t talk around him. Then why not wait till we’re home? I was going to pull you aside tonight, but then I saw you lounging here by the pool, getting absolutely nothing constructive done. And you haven’t brought me anything yet on the deceptor patent. I’m sorry. Don’t apologize. Don’t make excuses. Fine. Oh, is it chase? Is what chase? Is he too much of a distraction? Because I can tell him that it was me who made the phone call to get him reinstated. Shh! Keep your voice down, okay? Yes, you are the one who called the ccrb to have them look at his case, but chase got himself reinstated. He’s not gonna like it either way. And by the way, brook lynn, really, a policeman? He’s a detective. Uh-huh. Those law-and-order types are so hung up on the rules. Yeah, imagine that. You just need to do your job, okay? And do it fast. I’m just — I’m worried. About what? You. Whatever you have planned. Look, maxie, sasha, and lucy are my friends, and I’m not gonna do anything to hurt them. Hey. Hey, hey, hey. Are you reading the report that I just finished reading? Uh, with the initial numbers for the sales of the deceptor? It almost seems too good to be true. Oh! Too good to be true? Oh, pooh. Come on. That deceptor is flying off the shelves because it’s a fantastic product, and we marketed it, we promoted the heck out of it, and so we deserve to celebrate. What, without brook lynn and sasha? Yeah, just us for now, but then we can celebrate again tomorrow. Maybe mimosas in the morning and champagne for sunset. And, you know, taking that product, the phenomenon that it is, back to home & hearth, that was such a genius idea. Whose idea was it? Oh, that’s right. It was mine.

[ Cork pops ] Ahh!

[ Both laughing ] So, what brings you in today? Um, I have a really sore throat, and my whole body aches, and so I just wanted to make sure that it’s not strep, both for my baby’s sake and so that I don’t spread it at work. Work, huh? Yeah. I, um, got a job at the invader. At least, I think I still have a job. Things didn’t exactly go very well my first day.

[ Chuckles ] And spreading an infection to the whole staff of the paper might be the last straw? Exactly. Okay, um… let’s take a look at you, then. Already working, huh?

[ Thermometer beeps ] Uh, yeah. I wish I didn’t have to. I hate the idea of leaving ace. Well, do you? I mean, do you have to work? I mean, ace is a cassadine. Well, I mean, ace is my son, and I want to make sure that spencer can’t take him away from me by claiming I’m unfit or lacking the resources to raise him. Well, that’s exactly my point. I mean, you do have resources. In the eyes of the law, anyway. W-what do you mean? I can’t give up. I need to at least try to work things out with my wife. I think moving back in, that’s a great first step. Baby step. I’m still in the guest room. Okay. Okay, nothing wrong with taking things slow. Yeah. It just sounds so weird, taking things slow with my wife. I think it sounds smart, man. I’m happy for you. Yeah, well, I just wish everybody felt that way. Oh. Jordan? Yeah. Portia had told her that I moved back home before I got to break the news to her. Aw, really? Yeah. Man, I sure hated for her to find out that way. Yeah, I know you did. That’s not good. I’m sorry, man. So jordan was really upset?

[ Sighs ] She accused me of using her to sort out my feelings. I gotta be honest, I can’t even be mad at her, because that’s valid. Yeah, but not what happened? Not at all, man. I would never intentionally hurt jordan like that. Sometimes, in order to do what’s right, you gotta — you gotta hurt the people that you love. Honey, are you okay? Did I say something to upset you? No. No, I-I — I-I just, um… I have been working double shifts. Whether I come in at dawn or midnight, your mom is always here looking after you. Really? Is that so hard to believe? Do you two not get along?

[ Chuckles weakly ] The thing is…

[ Grunts ] Last year, I found out that the woman who raised me my entire life, the woman I called “mom,” turned out she wasn’t my biological mother after all. Oh, honey, I’m so sorry. That must have come as quite a shock. It did. The woman who I thought was my mom, harmony, I think it’s safe to say that she was a very damaged human being, lost and looking for guidance. She was easily manipulated, easily fell prey to the wrong people. She wasn’t always the protector a good mom should be. I think she tried, but, still, somehow… she was your mom and you loved her. Yeah, I did, even though she let me down over and over again, and even after I found out she wasn’t really my mom. It’s crazy. I — I… my first instinct is to always defend her. Nikolas has been missing for months. Why the sudden push to try and find him now? I think something is wrong, and I think he may need my help. And I found out that there’s a property that the cassadines own in chechnya. He may very well be there. Well, there may be a cassadine property in russia, but that doesn’t mean nikolas is living there.

[ Chuckles ] I know that. I do. It’s just that it’s the only lead that I’ve got. I just don’t believe that my son would completely abandon both of his sons. I — I think that either he is being held against his will or that maybe he’s fallen into some kind of a deep depression. Either way, he needs help. I’m his mother. I’m gonna help him. Yes, you are, and you should.


Okay, to… worldwide domination. Ooh, I like that. Okay, and cruelty-free cosmetics. Oh, I like that, too. Okay. To the deceptor.

[ Glasses clink ]

[ Both laugh ] Really? I mean, that’s it? You’re not gonna fight me on this? You’re not gonna tell me how dangerous chechnya is? You already know how dangerous it is, and I know that once you’ve made up your mind, there’s no point in trying to talk you out of it. Thank you for understanding. I understand all too well. That’s why I’m going with you. Rumor has it that the feds are gonna be offering carly a deal if she gives them sonny. But they haven’t approached her yet? No, it doesn’t even matter. Anybody that knows carly knows that she would never do that to sonny anyway. I mean, they’ve — they’ve been through a lot together, but when it comes to protecting their family, nothing trumps that. So, if giving up sonny is not an option, what is? They will likely pit carly and me against each other. No prison time if you testify against carly, and vice versa. Damn. Only one of you can make that deal. And I think carly might be considering it. Oh, thank you. I’m sorry if I was rude. No, don’t apologize. I appreciate a woman who’s direct. Most men say that, and then… then what? Someone do you wrong? My mood is my own fault. I did something stupid. That doesn’t sound like you. You don’t even know me. Convince me I’m wrong. I kissed my ex. Ah. And then he promptly went back to his new wife. Ooh. Yeah, so…

[ Laughs ] Like I said, stupid. But you know what? What? I told myself I wouldn’t waste another minute, so — and I know you just got one, but… can I buy you a drink? I’m a mom. Three blessings. And on our best days, we can do spectacular things — get everyone fed, off to school, hold down a job, stop the pain from hurting. But we’re only human.

[ Sighs ] And on our best days, we just do what we can. But when we have those rough days, those days when that little voice is screaming in our heads to just run away, we have to forgive ourselves for not being perfect and just know that’s what we can do as moms. I don’t know this harmony, but I can tell that you still love her.

[ Chuckles ] Now, maybe she didn’t have great parents. Maybe when she got you, she thought she’d improve on what she was taught as a little girl. That’s the best we can do as moms — strive to do better for our little ones, not repeat our mother’s mistakes, because we don’t want to make those same mistakes again. So we just strive to do our best so that we can leave things better for the next generation of moms.


why is that? I knew this was a solid concept, but I never dreamed deception would be so successful. Maxie jones, you need to dream bigger. And if you don’t mind me saying so, you really do need a bigger house. What? Come on, we gotta move you on up. Okay, okay, I know. I’m living with three kids in a two-bedroom apartment. That’s insane. But it takes time to find a new place to live, time that I do not have. Okay, that’s why they made computers, though. You know, I don’t do much realtor work these days, not with all this, but I do have access to the fabulous real-estate website still. Why don’t we take a deep dive and scoop you up a dream house?

[ Both laugh ] Okay. You’re acting like I want you to murder someone. As if that’s out of the realm of possibility. Brook lynn, this is just business. Well, maxie, sasha, and lucy are great bosses, and deception’s doing really well. Well, all that’s gonna change, and soon. What just happened? I thought you might need some water. Willow: Thank you. I don’t mean to be nosy… but I have to assume that the woman who’s been here every day looking after you, making sure you get your pain meds the minute they’re due to be given, is your biological mom. How did you find her? Oh. No. [ Laughs ] She’s not my mom. She’s my mother-in-law. Really? As devoted as she is, I could have sworn she was your mom. Well, that’s carly, and I love her dearly. And she has a really big heart. Well, good for you. I never got along with my mother-in-law. That’s too bad. I’m so thankful to have carly in my life. Well, I’m sure she’s thankful to have you in her life. It’s just a shame that your biological mom died without you getting to know her. My biological mom is alive and living right here in port charles, but I want nothing to do with her. Well, drew, I get that carly wants to put the kids first, but you’re my guy. I know you, and I know you feel the same way. Absolutely. Are you kidding me? I’ve missed out on so much of scout’s life already. The last thing — the last thing — I want to do is miss out on more. Is there some scenario where you and carly could beat the charges together? Yeah, well, I’m working on it. Nothing concrete yet. Alright, well, just know that my offer to help still stands. I know that, and I appreciate it. But it does seem so extreme. What does? Well, the merger between aurora and elq never happened, so nobody made any money. Just the opposite, actually. Okay, so is this one of those slap-on-the-wrist deals where you do community service or pay a fine and then everybody’s on their way?

[ Exhales deeply ] Not likely. Not if the us attorney’s office wants carly to flip on sonny. Okay, let me get a big “ahh.” Ahh. Good. Okay. Accepting financial support from your baby’s father, it doesn’t make you unfit.

[ Sighs ] I’m just terrified that I’ll lose ace. You have rights, esme. But, anyway, as far as your throat, it does look irritated. I don’t think it’s strep, though. But we’re going to do a culture just to make sure, okay? A-and what about the muscle aches? You endured a horrible ordeal when ace was kidnapped, right? Well, so did you. Yeah. Yeah, I did. And I had trouble sleeping. I had trouble eating. Did the same thing happen for you? It was awful. I mean, my baby coming home was all I could think about. I think you’re under a lot of stress right now. I did have a panic attack at work yesterday. How are things going at home? I’d imagine living with spencer and laura is pretty tense, right? I mean, it’s not the best situation, no. Um… I actually tried to leave the other day. Have they threatened to cut you off if you decide to leave town? Uh, just the opposite. Spencer says he’ll follow me wherever I go.


You want to go with me to chechnya? What about your job? What about your job? I got jordan ashford to agree to take on the job of deputy mayor, so the city is left in very good hands. And besides, there’s e-mail and there’s zoom if there’s any kind of an emergency. Well, I have plenty of vacation time banked.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Wait a minute. What about esme and spencer? Don’t we think they need a little bit of supervision? That’s really more like refereeing, and they are adults. They have to learn how to figure things out sooner or later. They can’t just keep coming to you or me to do it for them. Do you really want to leave spencer and esme to their own devices? Yeah. How about I see if alexis and her daughters are okay with being on spencer watch? Oh, I like that. Okay. I can always ask sonny to keep an eye out, too. Then it’s settled. We’re going to chechnya.

[ Laughs ] It looks like it is. Okay. Okay. We’ve got to find somebody who can speak the language and who knows how things work in that part of the world. Right, um… where do you think one would find such a person? I know who to ask. Oh, look at this one. Look at that three-car garage. It’s got a beautiful patio off the master suite. Giant pool. Gorgeous, sexy jacuzzi. Beautiful. What — look at the chandelier. Look at the — you could throw the most beautiful parties. It is gorgeous. And look at that kitchen! Wow. Wow! But, lucy, why are you showing me mcmansions? I can’t afford any of these. And besides, who has an outdoor pool in upstate new york? It’s so impractical. You say impractical, I say necessary. You know, swimming is very, very good exercise. Lucy. Okay, maybe it’s a little extravagant. I have three kids. Extravagant for me is not eating their leftovers for dinner. Very cute. Okay. Didn’t we just agree, though, that you’re gonna dream bigger, think bigger? That’s what I’m trying to get you to do. Come on, dream bigger. Okay, I need a bigger house… mm-hmm. …So that all of my kids can have their own rooms. Georgie will be over the moon, and james, he’ll finally stop bugging me. Wait a minute. Wait for it.

[ Gasps ] Okay, look at this one. Look at it. Oh, tree-lined neighborhood. It says “good schools,” excellent schools. Big backyard. Wow. Four bedrooms, three baths, and walk-in closet. Did you say three bathrooms? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Okay, talk about the lap of luxury. I am in love. And, look, it even has a little white picket fence. Ohh. Aww!

[ Both laugh ] When did I start liking white picket fences? Does that mean I’m a grown-up now? I think you become a grown-up when you became a mother. But you know, you do you. You get to do whatever you want and what you think is right.

[ Both laugh ]

[ Gasps ] Wow! I love it. So, the mechanic tells me, “a rabbit ate your engine.”

[ Both laugh ] Not possible. Actually, it happens a lot more than you think, especially in the snow. The engine is still warm, and the rabbit is looking for a source of heat, so it curls its way up by the engine and starts chewing on the hoses. Oh.

[ Chuckles ] When they popped that hood, rabbit fur everywhere.

[ Laughs ] So not a fan of bunnies, huh? Uh, no. Not anymore. Where are you from? How do you know I’m an out-of-towner? I’d remember if I’d seen you before. Alright, well, you got me. I’m new to port charles. This place is starting to look better by the minute. Wow! Nina reeves is your mother? I read crimson religiously. Oh, it’s a shame she didn’t get a chance to raise you. I mean, I’m not sure it’S… really a bad thing. Harmony had her faults, but nina…

[ Sighs ] …Is a train wreck. Oh, honey, I don’t believe anyone’s all bad — or all good, for that matter. We’re all flawed and imperfect. Some of us give in to our good instincts. Some of us give in to the bad ones. Life is complicated. But it sounds to me like the universe wants you in each other’s orbits. Nina’s aunt liesl saved your life with the bone marrow transplant. I think the universe wants you in each other’s lives. No, no. Nina’s made too many mistakes that every time I give her an inch, she takes a mile. Yet you forgave harmony for her mistakes.

[ Sighs ] Is nina really that unforgivable? Yes. Yes, that’s — that’s exactly what I’m saying. So, if you were to get a call saying that nina had died in an unexpected car accident, how would you feel?


This house, it does seem perfect for me. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, an amazing kitchen, good schools. But, lucy, can I really afford it?

[ Sighs ] Come on. Look around you. Think about what an amazingly successful year we’ve had here at deception together. Right, but what about next year and the year after that, and the year after that? Okay, okay, okay. That’s a valid point. But all we’re going to have to do is come up with more and more products, new and better products, and we can do that together, as long as we just put our minds to it. Come on, maxie. Live for today. To living for today. Mm-hmm. And to deception. To deception.

[ Laughs ]

[ Glasses clink ] I hope you don’t mind that I got your phone number from brook lynn, but I have a problem with something, and you were the perfect person to talk to about it. Oh, no, no, no. It’s not official city business. No, it’s personal. Uh, my son has been missing for a few months now, and I have reason to believe that he might be in a home in chechnya. And the thing is, my husband and I don’t speak russian, and we have never been to that part of the world, so we were sort of hoping that you might know someone who could act both as a translator and as a guide. So, would you happen to know anyone who would fit that bill? Uh, well, kevin and I would like to leave as soon as we can. In my opinion, you need to do what’s best for you and that baby. I agree, but laura does have a good point. I mean, I can’t take care of ace all by myself, and if I leave town, then I’ll have to get a full-time job. But maybe not. People need money to eat and to buy clothes and put a roof over their head. Yes, of course, but do you honestly think that spencer would let his baby brother go hungry? I don’t want to be dependent on anyone. I respect that, I really do. But maybe moving out of port charles with your baby would be better for you. Sounds to me like you’d be more comfortable without ace’s family watching your every move. The situation is just so untenable. You know, at some point, something’s gotta give. And thank you for talking this out. I know that you have enough on your plate, so I really appreciate it. Well, it is awkward being in my own house and staying in the guest room. Yeah, I — I bet it is. But I owe it to myself and to portia to hang in there, make it work. I’m proud of you. And that kiss, man, it just confused everything and it brought up feelings that were better off buried.


and the truth came out about who she it was just a question.

[ Monitors beep ] You don’t play fair, do you? It was just a question.

[ Sighs ] When harmony died and the truth came out about who she really was and all the bad things she’d done, I still miss her, and I never stopped loving her. And, yes, I wish she were still alive. Your biological mom isn’t dead. No, she’s not, and she very badly wants to be in my life and my kids’ lives. And if nina were to die tomorrow…

[ Sighs ] …I think I would feel another loss, like I did with harmony. But with nina, it’s — it’s so much more complicated. Does it have to be? My relationship with my mother wasn’t perfect, but I would do anything to see her again.

[ Pager beeping ] Oh. Oh. I gotta go. I’ll see you later, sweetheart. Thank you, yuri. What? Did yuri say he can’t help us? Just the opposite. He’s between jobs. He said he’d love to help us. That’s excellent. For the first time in weeks now, I-I actually believe there’s a chance that I will see my son again. Someone is gonna call you with the result of your throat culture. And in the meantime, here’s a prescription. It’s gonna help you manage your pain. Thank you. So just, you know, eat healthy, fluids and nutrient-rich foods. Okay. So, take care of yourself and that baby. Will do. And, um, I’ll think about what you said. I really hope that things work out with you and portia, man. I really do. Well, time will tell. Drew, let me know if you need anything. Only if you do the same. You got it. See you, man.

[ Sighs ] Hey, it’s drew cain. Um… we gotta move up the meeting regarding the sec. I… I want to talk about a deal. Where’s tracy? Gone. More pté for us. Ugh, I hate pté. Really? Me too.

[ Both chuckle ] So, uh, what’s going on with you and your grandmother? I wish I knew.

[ Sighs ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

It’s actually really good. Yeah. Mm-hmm. You got some mad skills, Mr. Cook? Well, if I say so myself, it does pair rather nicely with the champagne. I’m sure it does. You know the French stole the idea for champagne from the Scotts Champagne. There’s no way That’s true. It’s absolutely true. Ah, Scottish people invented all kinds of tasty things.

We invented hamburgers, pizza, okay, you’re literally just making things up. Now. Why would I do that? Scottish or famous inventor as, what else did we come up with there? Zippers, hoverboards. Kissing. Kissing. The Scott’s invented. Kissing. Well, maybe we just. Perfecting it.

Oh, I’m just glad this time you didn’t slap me,

yo. I just wanna make sure that all units know unequivocally, this is our top priority. It’s all hands on deck situation. Okay, well keep me posted.

Oh, well, how’d the arraignment go? I may bail. Yeah. Good. Yeah. Well, your sister will be relieved. Yeah. Well, it helped that Talia expressed great remorse for her actions, and I assured the judge that she will testify against Colin. Right. Well, unfortunately that will all be moot if we can’t find him. What do you mean if you can’t find him?

Call and escaped.

Wait. You can’t just put me in jail. I’m an innocent civilian. I didn’t do anything wrong. You had contact with a known fugitive and you failed to report him to the police. I was scared. Okay. I was shook. Look, look at what he did to my phone. I was worried he would do the same thing to me if I ratted him out to the fuzz.

You sure you weren’t keeping quiet so you could write about this in your column? You know, clout chasing as they say. What? No, no, I wasn’t chasing any clout. Detective, please do not put me in jail. I am not suited for it. It won’t come to that Leo just so long as you tell me every detail about your encounter with Colin Bedford.

Thank you. Yes, I am more than happy to help, but is there any way you can leave my name out of it? I do not need another target on my back. Another one. Believe it or not, Colin Bedford is not the only evil European dreamboat who might be out to get me. A couple of summers ago, I incurred the wrath of one of Salem’s, shall we say, newer bad boys, Dimitri Von Weisner.

Sorry, me. I’m gonna have to side with your boy on this. I’m gearing up for a custody fight and showing up in court with my nephew on my arm is not likely to win many brownie points with the judge. Pathetic. Oh, relaxed mother. Plenty of fish in the sea. Yes, but most of them are not suitable for you to marry Dimitri.

If we’re not gonna keep it in the family, then we have to be very careful finding you an incredibly special woman to marry. Yahoo. Anyone home The door was open. I’m looking for Dimitri Vonner. I’m Dimitri. And you might be Gwen first check editor in chief at the Spectator. Ah-ha. So you’re a reporter. Mm.

And also my friend, but I take it you’re here on business. Yes, I am. I’m, um, actually hoping to get the scoop on your nephew. He’s, uh, was in quite the stir and um, I’m sure that our loyal readers would love to know a bit more about Mr. Tall, dark, and Handsome. Well then it seems that you’ve come to the right place.

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

sister. Hmm? You have yet to introduce me to your charming friend here. Oh. Oh. Well forgive me. Um, Gwen, this is my sister, Megan Damara. Megan Gwen, pleasure to meet you. Likewise. So how do you two know each other? Um, but you like to tell her or shall I? Oh dear. Um, well, Uh, Kristen blackmailed me into helping her escape police custody.

Such a good friend, good friend that I am. I returned the favor helping Gwen out of a jammer too, including obtaining her, pardon when we were at Statesville together, which I am still very grateful for. And, uh, forgive me if I’m being too intrusive, but what brought you to prison?

Well, um, my sister Abigail, your Uncle Chad’s. Deceased wife was being a bit of trouble, and I mean that with absolutely no disrespect at all. She was a wonderful woman. I still grew her loss actually, but being at a very vulnerable time and place in my life, I perceived her to be quite a threat. Um, so sort of shipped her off to a deserted island,

but, um, she was eventually rescued, wasn’t she? Um, yeah, but when she found out that I was responsible for shipping her to said island, well, you get the picture. Sure. Yeah. It sounds like, um, Well, it sounds like it was a trying time for you. Yeah, it was more trying for Abigail actually. It’s something I will always regret doing to her, but anyway, enough about me.

How about you? I have been following your story, Dimitri. I find it quite fascinating and I would really love to get an interview with you. Sorry. But I’m not interested in doing press.

Let’s not be so hasty.

What happened after he destroyed your phone? He just walked away. The creep. Do you remember in which direction? West? No, east up left. I’m, I’m directionally challenged. Needless to say, I didn’t follow him since he was the one with the gun. Okay. Uh, is there anything else that I should know? That’s everything.

I swear you’re well then. Thank you for your time, Mr. Stark. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, wait, wait. I answered all of your questions. So, in the interest of reciprocity, I think it’s only fair, you answered some of mine bad. What? Your sister, Talia Hunter.

Wait, Colin took the mayor hostage. Well, we don’t know that for sure, but it’s, it’s a hell of a coincidence. This is all . Yeah. I mean, Chanel and Paulina must be so freaked out. Are there any leads, Jane’s questioning a potential witness as we speak?

Just when I’m starting to forget what that felt like. I can’t believe you slapped me again and I can’t believe you kissed me again. And Gwen’s not even here to witness it. So it’s not for her benefit. No, it wasn’t. It was for your benefit. For mine, I meant for our benefit wasn’t a performance. I meant it.

I, oh, no, Chloe, I just, I’ve been feeling kind of a vibe between us and I thought you were feeling it too. Was I wrong

actually, if I’m being honest, you weren’t completely off base.

So I, I wasn’t imagining it. You, you did feel a spark too, right? Maybe.

Okay. Yes. I, I did feel it. And not just tonight. Ever since you and I moved in here together, I’ve sensed that there’s, you know, something between us. Yeah. See, I’m just happy to know. I’m not going mad. You don’t seem too thrilled. It’s because I’m not Well, why is that? I mean, I mean, you said you were moving on from Brady and that that ship has sailed, so That’s true.

Brady and I don’t have a future together. What’s the problem? The problem is, ugh. I hate that I’m attracted to you.

Listen, Talia, I just want you to know that Colin’s escape has absolutely no bearing on your situation. Okay? Your bail’s been granted and you’re free to go. You just need to be very careful. Yeah. I just can’t believe all this is happening. Like what was Colin thinking? Hopefully the police will find him and they will come back.

Safe and sound. Pray to God that you’re right. Listen, I, I have to go home, but, um, do you have any questions? No, seriously, just thank you so much for all of your help. Yeah, of course. You have my number. Don’t hesitate to call me if you need anything. Okay.

Anywhere? No, not yet. So you don’t have any idea where Colin might have gone? No. I, I mean, I suppose he might be going back to New York, but then again he doesn’t have many friends there to speak up. Right. Okay. Well, you think on it, if anything comes to mind, he let me know, right? Yeah, of course. All right.

Wait, before you leave, um, I owe you an apology.

What questions do you have about my sister? Well, how are things looking for her? I do know she was arrested for being Colin Bedford’s partner in crime. She wasn’t his partner. No. From what I hear, they were regular Bonnie and Clyde, and I don’t mean Lockhart in Weston. Or maybe I do. Those who both did go to prison for killing people.

My sister didn’t kill anyone, but she did trash Paulina’s office and drug those biscuits. I wouldn’t say her hands are exactly clean in all this. Well, that’s because Colin was extremely manipulative and she was naive. She didn’t know. Well, it’s not like she didn’t have a choice. You didn’t have a gun to her head.

Well, that’s easy to say if you’re not being abused. Okay. Are you saying Talia was trapped in an abusive relationship? Can I quote you on that?

Mother, please. I’m suffering from some serious jet lag, and the last thing I need right now is to be grilled by the fourth estate jet lag to meet Tri Dira. We do jet lag. After all. This isn’t just any reporter, Ms. Rice, check risk check. Yes, that’s what I said. Is a friend of your aunt, I’m sure she doesn’t have a malicious agenda.

No. No, of course not. Honestly, I, I just want to get your story out there and there are already some quite, uh, uncharitable rumors floating about. I would just like to give you the opportunity to clear them up. Okay. Well, the thing is, I don’t give a damn what people think. So let the rumor mill churn. Are you sure that’s wise?

Would you like to just give it a thing? Thank you so much for the opportunity, but my answer is no. My son. Can we please have a private word together

if we must?

We.

Listen to me, Dimitri, you do not want to miss this golden opportunity. What do we hear, what people say about us? This is not about pr. This is about making that reporter the future. Mrs. Von Leischner.

Congratulations on your immunity deal, Kristin. Very impressive. How you managed to keep pulling rabbits out of your hat. Ah, well, I am no magician. It’s, oh, thanks to my sister this time. So you made an ally, have you? Mm-hmm. Maybe you don’t trust her. Of course not. She is a dememer. Yes, as is her son.

Obviously. He seems to be feisty. I guess that’s a word for it. Yeah. Well, I’m quite feisty myself too, if you haven’t noticed, and, uh, I’m very determined to get that interview. I’m going to do everything in my power to make that happen.

You can be serious. You want me to marry that? That rice checks woman Riz check. And you rejected my other idea. So, because I won’t marry my own aunt, now I have to marry the next stranger that walks in off the street. She’s hardly a stranger. She and your aunt were prison mates. So she’s a fall mother.

This is, this is even worse, Dolly. Her crimes are child’s play compared to what you and I have done. That is not the point. The point is, oh, wouldn’t you want me to be. In love with the person I’m going to marry. That is a luxury that we don’t have time for. If you want to inherit the enlo or forcing, you have to be married by the time you are 40, which is fast approaching.

So forget about love and go in there and convince Lois Lane to marry you as soon as possible. I’m sorry, Lois Lane, but this interview is over. Actually, I’m more of a Clark Kent. Okay, fine. Maybe I am a Lois Lane. Well, besides, don’t you want your sister’s side of the story to be told, especially since you know she was being abused?

I shouldn’t have told you that. Look, I get it. I know people don’t like talking about that stuff, but I can relate. My father was physically abusive. Well, this was more like emotional abuse. See, I can relate to that too. My mother was the queen concert of all forms of emotional manipulation in blackmail.

If you ask me or my therapist, a woman should wear a crown. Look, I, I appreciate your empathy, Leo. I do. But I can’t continue this conversation with you right now. I need to focus on finding Mayor Carver and Mr. Bedford. Sure. Of course. And I don’t mean to sound insensitive, but I do have a journalistic responsibility to print what you’ve already given me.

I understand I can’t stop you from printing what you’re going to print, but as someone who’s been abused yourself, I would hope that you would have some idea of what my sister is going through, so hopefully there’s a, a heart in there somewhere and you keep my sister’s name out of your call.

And why do you feel it’s, you owe me in apology? I don’t know. I mean, for one, you went to the hospital because of me. Hmm. And I don’t know, you just, you spent so much time and energy looking for the person responsible. And if I would’ve just said something sooner, you know, if, if minute my guilt, things wouldn’t have gotten as bad.

So I, I just wanna say that I’m, I’m really, I’m really, really sorry. Okay. I appreciate your apology. I respect you taking responsibility for your actions. I just wish I could say the same thing about Colin. Yeah. You know, all this time I thought he was the victim, you know, because of like what happened to his parents, and that’s how I kept rationalizing.

What he was asking me to do for him, but I swear, I, I swear I never thought that he was this dangerous. Okay. I, I never genuinely thought that he was gonna hurt anybody.

Well, something tells me that he hit it pretty well. Yeah. Obviously I just feel really bad that I dragged my sister into all of this. I know. This is like a really bad look for her that I’m caught up in like this huge scandal. Yeah. Well, Jada doesn’t care about that. She cares about you. She loves you. Why?

She hired the best damn lawyer that she could find. Now my advice, I wanna make things up to your sister. You do whatever the hell bell tells you to do. Okay?

Oh my God. What the heck? Howdy, howdy, howdy. Sean, you’re home. Why didn’t you tell me you were flying back? I’m sorry. It just, you know, things, uh, just all happened very quickly. Have you been drinking? Uh, yes. And if you ask me, not nearly enough,

Sean, what’s going on? Did something happen with your dad? Nope. He’s uh, Still in a coma. Nothing’s changed. It’s all quiet on the Western front. So then why are you guzzling all this beer? Um, be, that’s a good question. Let me, um, hold, let me think about that one. Um, Maybe it’s because I shot my dad and I put him in a coma.

Okay, come on Sean. Listen, I’m gonna say this to you for the umpteenth time. It was an accident and everyone knows that, and everyone has tried over and over to get you to know that, so you’ll stop torturing us. Accident or no accident Bell, my old man is hanging on by a thread, not to mention my wreck of a mom who can, who’s just doing everything that she can just to try to stay positive.

Okay. Every day goes by, I gotta sit there and I gotta see her suffering, knowing that there’s nothing that I can do to help her. In fact, you know what? I think that, I think that I just made things worse. So that’s the reason why I came home. Sean, your mom does not blame you for what happened? Yeah, maybe not consciously.

Okay. In any case, After we got my dad situated, I just felt that it was best to, to make myself scarce. Well, from what you’ve told me, he’s got a, a team of world-class doctors and, you know, maybe they’re gonna find a way to bring him back to us. I just, I hope, I hope that Megan doesn’t find out where he is at.

Oh, come, my mom, she’s, she’s got enough on her plate as it is. Uh, yeah. About Megan. Um, EJ told me that she’s actually back in Salem. Wait, what? Yeah, she’s staying at the Damir mansion.

No. No. Where are you going? Where do you think I’m going? I’m gonna go give that bitch a piece of my mind. Yes, mother. I am well aware that there is a time crunch, but I’m not turning 40 tomorrow. I’d like to, you know, explore my options. What options. You’re not seeing anyone. And the last romantic encounter you had with Billy Reid was all an act.

Am I correct? You really don’t see how crazy this is, do you? Well, maybe a little crazy is what we need in this fortuitous situation, Dimitri, that inheritance money is rightfully yours. And let me let you in on honorable secret. I have big. Plans. Plans that require significant funding. So you need to put a ring on her finger, but why this woman, mother?

I mean, I’ve only known her for two minutes. I don’t know anything about her. Well, let me bring you up to speed. She is successful, she’s smart, she’s beautiful, but she has a delightful accent. That’ll be a wonder to wake up to every morning. What more do you need to know? Oh, I don’t know off the top of my head.

Uh, do you have a priest in mind for the ceremony or maybe we go with an Elvis impersonator? Oh, and you know what be helpful is, uh, knowing whether or not the bride to be is, uh, single. I did not see anything on her finger, but nail polished. So as far as I’m concerned, she’s fair gain. Now go in there and sweep that woman off her feet.

Well, you are taking this whole reporter thing very seriously. Yes. Well, I, I think I do have quite knack for it. I think I get that from my dad. Oh yeah. It’s too bad that you couldn’t bond with him over it. I mean, considering you did steal the paper from him and my friend Jennifer, my dad and your friend Jennifer, do have another paper in Boston that they’re running and they’re just fine.

Thank you for asking. Not that you cared. So you have a knack for being a reporter. I mean, good for you. How is it working with your, uh, ex? It’s the least enjoyable part. Especially considering the fact that he’s insisted that he bring on his little bird. He must mean Chloe Lane. Mm. The boring third rate singer, which my precociously perceptive child calls the evil one.

How do you know? Well, my Precociously Sharp eye daughter, uh, told me that Chloe and Zander were playing house together. Oh. Oh. And then I saw them yesterday and uh, they were kind of cussing up together. Oh.

You know, Zander says that there’s nothing romantic going on between them, but. To be honest, I think it’s just a matter of time before they have a romp in the hay. 10. Well, selfishly, I am relieved that that human barnacle has finally detached herself from Brady. I am sorry for you. They’d have to deal with her.

Oh. But if you want, I could, um, give you some pro tips on how to disappear the love, some pitch. I mean, if that is, if you wanna get back with Sander. I really appreciate that, Kristen, but that is literally the last thing I want. Oh, I said so yes, I’ve decided that it’s time for me to hop off the Zander.

Merry go round. Since he’s not really serving me anymore, given his very fickle nature, I need to put the rate behind me and move on with my life. Maybe even find someone new.

I don’t understand. Like why would you be upset about having feelings for me? Because you are you I clears it, right? Huh? Oh, come on, Xander. Like you can’t figure it out. You left me in the clutches of a Mexican drug. Lord, you, you shot Brady. You locked Nicole in a shark cage and, and you’re the literal clown who kidnapped Susan and Bonnie.

Well, that seems all your PowerPoint presentations missing is the slides. Look, if I’m so bloody awful, why do you have feelings for me? Because I’ve, I’ve seen another side of you. I’ve been sneaking peeks at me in the shower. Have you?

No, boy, just mean I’ve seen another side of you as a human being. You know, when you confessed your remorse about Susan’s death, I could tell that you really meant it. I guess there is a little heart. In there and you’ve gone to bat for me with Gwen and getting me that job at the paper, and you’ve just, you’ve been really kind to me and ugh.

And then you go and make me this beautiful dinner.

Are you saying that you might actually like me after all clothing? Like, like, like me, Todd, help me. Well, if that’s the case, I have a suggestion. Stop fighting your feelings cause that’s always a losing battle. Put down your harpoon and just

give into what your heart desires.

Ah, this, this is a really bad idea. We, we would live together. We work together. This could get really complicated, really fast. We’d have to commit to anything, Chloe, but we just take it day by day, see where it goes. Yeah. Especially since you’re still getting over Brady. And what about you? Are you really over Sarah?

Mm-hmm. And I told you I was, look, it’s like what you were saying to me about you and Brady still have feelings for her, but I know that ship is sail. Speaking of ships, I just realized that I’ve been involved with like half of your male relatives, Brady, Phillip, Damos, Victor’s godson, Daniel, sorry. So I should learn from my past mistakes and just swear off all Kiki men since it never seems to work out.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m the best in the whole bunch and you’ve never been with me. Seriously, Chloe, I think we should stop overthinking this. I say we try that kiss again and this time. Don’t focus on what you should or should not feel, and then you’ll have your answer. Are you sure you wanna risk getting slapped again?

I’m willing to take my chances

at this point. Dear Reader. You probably believe you’ve heard everything there is to know about Colin Bedford and Talia Hunter’s sorted tale of revenge, but you would be mistaken for lady whistleblower. Half uncovered the latest, greatest juiciest new bombshell to date. According to Talia’s sister, detective Jada, hunter Talia has been the victim of emotional abuse inflicted upon her by Mr.

Bedford. Talk about a twisted relationship.

Select all.

Delete. Oh, I hate having a conscience. Damn you, detective. Oh my God. I am so happy that you may be, I heard about Colin, um, was Leah Stark? Give any hope. Ah, not really. When Leo ran into call and he was still wearing Officer Henshaw’s uniform. Hmm. And there was no sign of Mayor Carver. Great. So we’re back to square one.

Oh, I’m, I’m so sorry guys. Don’t, don’t worry about it. We’re not gonna stop until we find them. Yeah. I mean, is, is there anything I can do to help or, yeah. Yeah, you can go home, lock your door, and then let the police handle this. Yeah. You know Ray’s right. Colin is probably very upset with you about turning on him.

You need to be very careful, Talia. I’ll have one of my officers give you a left home. Okay? Thank you so much. Yeah, listen, if you hear anything from Colin, call me right away. Okay? Yeah.

We’re so sorry for the delay, but have wonderful news. After a brief but uplifting pow wow. My son has decided to do the interview. Isn’t that right? Mere? Yes, that is correct. But like I said, I’m pretty worn out for my travel. So if we could please schedule Liz for some other time. Yes, yes, of course.

Whatever is convenient for you. What about tomorrow? You too can have a nice chat over dinner. Um, could we perhaps make it lunch? I’m, I’m quite anxious to get this story out before the intruder descends, you know? Well, either way, we’ll gather your contact information from Kristen and we’ll send along the details.

Right. Okay. Brilliant, brilliant. Um, I look forward to hearing your story. Mr. Honner. Please call Dimitri.

I am so glad that this worked out. Something tells me that this lunch is gonna be an exciting opportunity for both of you.

Sean, no. Give me the keys. Well give you, give you my keys. What? What are you, are you the valet now or something fell. You’re in no condition to drive and confronting Megan right now is not gonna change anything. Be Listen to me. My dad. My dad is fighting for his life because of that bitch. Right. She messed with his head and she, she kept him from his family.

You think that she doesn’t deserve to, to answer for that? Of course I do, but there’s nothing that we can do right now, so just give me the keys.

You know, I suppose that as much as I’d like to, I, I, I can’t, I can’t place the blames squarely on Megan’s shoulders because, Because I’m the one that pulled the trigger.

Sean, just, why don’t you put that down and come to bed? Why? Hmm. I got two beers left, and you know what they say? No soldier left behind Sean. I really think that you’ll feel better if you get some sleep. I said, no Bell now will just leave me the hell alone.

What’s the verdict? He was nice. Nice, nice. Hmm. Now I was kind of hoping for steamy or lovely or Please. And to whisk me away to Paris. Okay. You’re gonna have to settle for Nice for now. Okay. Okay. Nice. It is. Please. I didn’t get slapped this time. That’s progress, isn’t it? No, don’t push it. Okay. Well, in the name of not pushing it, I am not gonna kiss you again, even though I really wanna, so, um, what should we do?

Any ideas?

I think that we should. Get back to that dinner.

Look, I’m, I’m sorry that I snapped at you. Okay. I’m sorry, but look, I just, I want to be left alone. Well, you’re drunk. And you’re not thinking straight, and the last thing you need is to be alone. Listen, I’m fine. I’m fine. You’ve got my keys. You know I’m not going anywhere. I’m gonna be right here. Okay. So just, just please, just go to bed.

Okay. I’ll wait up for you.

I love you.

So Kristen, do you have any ideas where Dimitri and Gwen can dine together tomorrow? Why not Should leave that one detail up to me mother. What about shenanigans? Is that place still open? No, it went under years ago. Rather fitting though. Considering what you two are plotting, whatever do you mean? Ah, my Spidey sins tell me that you believe that you found Deri here.

A wife subtlety was never my mother’s strong suit. That’s very discerning of you, Kristin. Yes. I believe that Gwen, what’s her name, will be a pseudo means to an end. Oh, how romantic quote from Wordsworth. What’s most important to me and Dimitri is that he inherits what’s rightfully his, and if it turns out to be a love match between he and this charming British woman so much, the better.

There you are. Here I am. So how did it go with z Yvonne Leischner? Did you get lost in his eyes and have trouble finding your way home? Even better. He offered to give me an exclusive interview at lunch tomorrow. You lucky double. How did you manage to score such a hot story with an even hotter hunt? Some gwenny magic, I suppose.

Meanwhile, I’m over here with Bks for my column tomorrow. Oh dear. No big scoops for Mattie. I had one, a great one. In fact, it was, but someone had to go and guilt me out of it. God, why would I say anything to that idiot? Much less that TA was in an abusive relationship. Oh, look, I, Leo Stark is relentless and provocative and.

You were obviously upset. Thanks for trying to make me feel better. But we both know that he’s going to print every word that I said. I mean, it’s, it’s Leo Stark, right? Yeah, that’s Leo Stark. Listen, if what you said ends up in his column, we’ll deal with it. Okay? Thanks. Yeah, and listen, if you wanna go be with your sister, I understand.

No, I, I’ll go later. Right now the best way to help my sister is by finding Colin and Abe. Otherwise, she can take the fall for everything that Colin made her do. Well, that is not gonna happen, I promise. Well, let’s find that bastard.

Thank you so much for sending me home officer.

God, I could use a long hot shower.

Officer Shaun.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ridge: All right, everyone just take a breath. Why are we fighting here? What’s going on?

Brooke: Taylor has been playing me for months.

Taylor: Stop it, brooke! That is not true!

Brooke: Oh, god!

Taylor: That is not true!

Brooke: It is true. She broke our pact, ridge. She destroyed our friendship. She used me, and the only reason she did that was to get to you.

[ Restaurant chatter ]

Hope: Hey, hello again.

Deacon: Hey.

Hope: Hey, dad.

Deacon: Hi, hope.

Hope: You okay? You seemed a million miles away.

Deacon: Yeah, I wish. Uh, I don’t suppose you have a space shuttle I can borrow?

Hope: [ Laughs ] Uh, no? Why, what’s going on?

Deacon: It’s about your mother.

Thomas: All right. This is the one I was telling you about. What do you think?

Steffy: I think it’s stunning.

Thomas: Well, I’ve kind of changed up everything. The– the color, I revamped the bodice, and it was all last minute, but I just had to go with my gut.

Steffy: Well, it’s paying off. Look at it now.

Savannah: It’s one of my all-time favorites, thomas.

Thomas: Thank you. Yeah, I, um– I kind of decided to do the floral thing.

Thomas: You know, I was gonna go with a solid color, but I feel–

Steffy: No, no, you can’t go wrong with florals. Hope’s gonna love it.

Savannah: Hope loves everything thomas does.

[ Thomas chuckles ]

Savannah: You and hope work great together. So in sync, almost as if you were a couple.

Steffy: Okay, well, thank you, savannah. Uh, thomas and I, we actually have a meeting, so, if you don’t mind, um…

Thomas: Can you let alterations know this is a go?

Savannah: Of course. No problem.

Thomas: Yeah, thank you so much for your help.

[ Steffy sighs ]

[ Door shuts ] Don’t freak out.

Steffy: Don’t freak out?

Thomas: Yeah, savannah was just making a harmless remark.

Steffy: So, she’s not sensing a vibe with you and hope?

Thomas: There’s no vibe to pick up on, okay? What she said was just completely random. There’s nothing to worry about when it comes to hope and me.

Hope: Okay, so, what do you mean by that? Why is there an issue with mom?

Deacon: Well, I guess you’re gonna find out eventually.

Hope: Find out what?

Deacon: I tried to get with your mom. I– you know, I asked her if there was a chance of us having a future together.

Hope: You did?

Deacon: Yeah. And she shut me down very nicely.

Hope: I’m sorry, dad.

[ Deacon scoffs ]

Deacon: I just– it was stupid.

Hope: No, it’s– it’s not– it wasn’t stupid. You two shared a very special bond once upon a time.

Deacon: A long time ago. But you know what? I got the very best gift possible out of it. I got you. I should know by now that your mother doesn’t want anything besides friendship, and I– I never would have even reached out to brooke if I hadn’t listened to…

Hope: Uh, uh, listened to who?

Deacon: Taylor.

Taylor: No, no, no, she is– she is– she’s making– do you– you– you are making…

Brooke: So ridiculous.

Taylor: …Things up, brooke. What you’re saying isn’t even true.

Brooke: No, no, no. You know what? I know exactly who you are. Okay? She was pretending to have a friendship with me when all she really wanted, ridge, was you.

Taylor: Stop it, just stop! None of that is true.

Brooke: Taylor, you are not digging yourself out of this one.

Taylor: Okay.

Brooke: You know what she’s doing, ridge? She is setting me up with other men, so that she could have a clear path to you.

[ Exhales in frustration ] Your hair is damaged,

Steffy: Thomas, I have heard those words before.

Thomas: Okay, nothing is going to happen.

Steffy: I know you believe that.

Thomas: It’s not even a thought in my head.

Steffy: Yeah, maybe not in your head.

Thomas: Okay, look, hope and i are too focused on the line, uh, to care about anything else. We’ve got italy coming up, and– and douglas and anything besides that, not on our minds. But you can be as paranoid as you want.

Steffy: Oh, okay. So, as– as co-ceo of a multibillion-dollar company, I’m just being paranoid? Gotcha.

Thomas: I get it. I get it. You– look, we– we all have a lot going on, and with rome coming up, we’ve got the fashion preview and press events.

Steffy: Yeah, it’s a lot. There’s a lot on the line, thomas. And not just financially. Durability, reputation. Your reputation.

Thomas: I understand what’s at stake as much as anyone, okay? But I’m not gonna do anything to jeopardize hope’s line or her marriage.

Hope: That’s shady. Oh, taylor trying to set up mom with you or hollis so she could go snag ridge. That is…

Deacon: Just ’cause it looks like a duck, and walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck…

Hope: Okay, dad…

Deacon: Smells like a duck…

Hope: I mean, I know a little more about taylor than you do, and I know that playbook, and this is certainly a page straight out of it.

Deacon: I just hate to think the worst of her, I mean, I’m not trying to throw her to the wolves here, okay? But, I mean, taylor definitely broke your mother’s trust.

Hope: No, they had a pact, and– and mom was loyal to that agreement.

Deacon: Oh, I don’t know, I– I don’t think the two of them are gonna be agreeing on much of anything in the near future.

Hope: No kidding. I mean, do you think taylor was ever mom’s friend to begin with or, like, has she been planning this the entire time? I don’T…

Deacon: I– you know, I– who knows? I– I– I don’t think so.

Hope: This is wild. I mean, does mom know? Someone has to tell mom.

Deacon: Oh, don’t you worry your pretty little head. Yep. She knows.

Hope: You told her?

Deacon: No. No, no, no. She figured it out by herself.

Hope: That’s sad. That’s sad. It’s like, one step forward, 10 steps back.

Deacon: I think, probably, right now, as we’re speaking, taylor and brooke are duking it out.

[ Whispers indistinctly ]

Taylor: I don’t wanna fight with you, brooke.

Brooke: Mm-hmm. You should have thought of that before you double-crossed me.

Taylor: Oh. Oh, okay. That is not what I was doing.

Brooke: [ Laughs ] Oh, really? What would you call it then?

Taylor: I would call it “retaliating,” because I knew that you didn’t keep your side of the pact.

Brooke: Will you stop?

Taylor: No.

Brooke: Stop with all your excuses, okay?

Taylor: Oh, my god.

Brooke: You’ve been scheming this for months. All those lunches at il giardino.

Taylor: Oh, come on, brooke. It’s the hottest restaurant in la, we love the food.

Brooke: You were trying to set me up with hollis. And when I told you that that just wasn’t gonna happen, then you went to deacon, and suddenly, deacon is calling me out of the blue trying to make a move on me.

Ridge: Why would deacon think he had a– a shot at you? I don’t understand.

Brooke: Oh, well, because of things that taylor said to him. I mean, she urged him to go after me. She said that, “this is your chance. This is your opportunity to be with brooke since ridge is off limits.”

Taylor: That is true. But that didn’t all happen at once. Brooke, I spent so much time with you and deacon when we would go to the restaurant. That’s how that started, and I actually saw a connection, so don’t start trying to make this into something that it’s not.

Brooke: Just stop already. You set deacon up for heartache, and you sold me down the river, all because you wanted to clear your future with ridge. Clear the path to ridge. That’s what you wanted. Why don’t you just admit it already? Admit it, taylor. You already confessed to me. So? Ridge is here. Why didn’t you tell ridge what happened?

Ridge: Is it true? If you’re making a to-do list today… 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.

Thomas: Come on, steff, we’ve talked about this so many times.

Steffy: You think I want to be focused on you and hope?

Thomas: Then stop. What have I done to make you question my integrity?

Steffy: I am not pointing the finger at you, thomas.

Thomas: Kind of feels like you are.

Steffy: You know I love you. You know I’m proud of you, and I recognize all the dedication to the line as a designer, as a fatheR…

Thomas: Then what more do I have to prove to make you believe in me?

Steffy: I do believe in you. But that doesn’t mean I still don’t have concerns about you and hope spending so much time together.

Hope: Well, this is a disappointing development.

Deacon: Hmm.

Hope: Mom must be really upset.

Deacon: She’s definitely hurt and she feels betrayed by taylor.

Hope: Well, she should. I mean, a world-renowned psychiatrist. Please. I mean, pushing two people together, knowing that you have a soft spot for mom, and she not only used mom, but she used you.

Deacon: All right, wait, hang on a second, I didn’t get used, I’m a big boy, I knew what I was doing, all right? I figured, “what the hell, why not give it another shot? I got nothing to lose.”

Hope: No, that family is beyond frustrating. I mean, taylor and steffy, they’re hypocrites. They are. They always give me and mom a hard time about being logans when taylor went and betrayed mom. Please, I hope this entire thing blows up in her face.

Taylor: Okay. I– I know that this doesn’t look good for me right now, and I get that. But what I did was not all… manipulative and shady.

Brooke: Yeah. Keep telling yourself that.

Taylor: Yeah, brooke, I will. You know, maybe, with a little bit of time… once you’re not so angry… maybe, you can see this, um, from a different perspective. I– I– I trusted you and our friendship, too. But it’s over now, right?

Brooke: Yeah. Yeah. Pretty much seems that way.

Taylor: It does.

Brooke: I mean, when you had deacon call me to come over to il giardino, you were here talking with ridge and trying to secure your future with him.

Taylor: Uh-huh.

Brooke: Isn’t that right?

Taylor: Well–

Brooke: I mean, I happened to overhear some of your conversation, ridge, to…

[ Chuckles ] So much for vowing to not fight over ridge, right?

Taylor: Well, yeah, you have your part in that, too, but yes, that is– that is true. I hate this.

Brooke: I hate this, too. I mean, we’ve made peace, taylor. We vowed to be friends. I just never expected this from you.

Taylor: Oh, god.

Brooke: My friend, taylor.

Taylor: My friend, brooke.

Ridge: Can I talk to, uh, brooke in private for a minute?

Taylor: Okay, that’s a good idea, but don’t let all the stuff she’s saying make you think worse of me.

[ Brooke laughs sarcastically ]

Brooke: Yeah.

Taylor: You haven’t heard both sides.

Ridge: We’ll talk later.

Taylor: Okay.

Ridge: I can see how hurt you are.

Brooke: I am hurt. I mean, I… I just feel so gullible, and so blindsided.

[ Brooke scoffs ] I don’t know, I– I don’t want to talk about taylor and how she– how she, uh, broke my trust.

Ridge: Okay.

Brooke: But I would like to talk about… you and me. And what our future looks like from here. When it comes to your hair, ingredients matter.

Thomas: We are heading to italy. So, this should be an exciting time for the family, for the company, and for hope for the future.

Steffy: It is. Rome is a magical place, and I have watched people get swept up in the beauty and romance of it all.

Thomas: Okay, but not hope and me, right? Because we are just colleagues. We– we work together, and that’s it. Strictly professional.

Steffy: Yeah, I know that’s your intention.

Thomas: I promise to you that nothing’s going to happen, and I’ll back it up. If something ever did happen, I’ll buy you a new car.

[ Steffy chuckles ] I’ll buy you a new house. That’s how confident I am nothing’s going to happen. I promise there will be no drama in italy.

Niente.

Steffy: I– I can’t help, but be apprehensive, and I’m not trying to rain on your parade or anything.

Thomas: Okay. Rome is going to be awesome. We are the talk of the town, right? Why can’t you just have some faith, and know that everything’s gonna be okay?

Steffy: Hope you’re right.

[ Door clicks open ]

Thomas: Mom.

Taylor: Hi.

Thomas: Perfect timing, actually. I have some sketches I want to show you.

Taylor: Oh, good. I– I wanna see the sketches.

Steffy: What’s going on with you? You seem upset.

Taylor: No. No, I– I don’t want to… I– I just– I don’t want to–

Thomas: Mom, obviously, something’s going on, what’s up?

Steffy: Tell us.

Taylor: Brooke and i got in a fight.

Steffy: Like, physical?

Taylor: Yeah. Well, kind of. Yeah, um, then, your– your dad walked in on it.

Thomas: Okay, what were you fighting about?

Steffy: Yeah, I thought you two were super close.

Taylor: Me, too. Um, she thinks that I broke the pack, and I think it was the other way around. It’s complicated, uh… but I did end up forcefully suggesting to deacon that he reach out to brooke and, uh, try to make a life with her. Which initially, was– was because they’re– they’re cute together, and I thought it would be a good idea, but anyway, uh, long story short, um… brooke is accusing me of– of scheming.

Steffy: Wait, but hope is trying to… she’s been trying to get her parents back together for years. What’s the difference?

Thomas: Yeah.

Steffy: Timing. And because it’s coming from me. So, brooke found out, and she’s accusing me of trying to get her out of the way, so that… I can be with your dad.

Thomas: Okay, so, um, what does this mean? Does this mean that your pact with brooke is over?

Taylor: Over. It’s– it’s done.

Steffy: And does that mean you now wanna… be with dad again?

Taylor: I have never not wanted your dad.

Brooke: Oh, god! The nerve of her! You have every reason to be upset. But I gotta tell you, I find it really hard to think that taylor is as calculating as you think she is.

Brooke: Yeah, yeah, well…

[ Laughs ] Oh, ridge. There is so much going through my head right now. I– I can’t even begin to tell you. But I– I don’t wanna waste any more time thinking about taylor. I want to focus on you and me and our future together. I never thought that this would be a possibility again. But I want you to know… that I never stopped thinking about you. Never stopped wanting you. Longing for you. Wanting you back home with me. I can’t believe it. I, uh– I chose myself, and I chose a friendship– a friendship with taylor… over the man that… the man, you. Over you, a man that I’ve loved most of my life.

Ridge: Yes, we’ve been through a lot. And we’re here. But honestly, do you… you really still believe in eternal love? Because I don’T.

Brooke: I do believe in eternal love. And I still believe in our destiny.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Chloe comes home where Xander is waiting with a bottle of champagne to celebrate her first day at her new job. Chloe storms in, grabs the bottle and takes a drink. Xander asks if it didn’t go well. Chloe responds that it’s all because of Gwen.

Gwen is in her room at the Salem Inn, typing up a hiring ad for the Spectator. Leo bursts in and tells Gwen that he needs her help because there’s a psycho on the loose and he has him in his sights.

Dimitri enters the DiMera Mansion, surprising Megan as they hug. Megan declares that Dimitri is now home where he belongs. Kristen remarks that another prodigal son is just what the family needed.

At the hospital, Nicole tells EJ and Eric that this is not some sick competition. Nicole complains that it’s about a child’s life, so she needs them to be kind to each other and to her. Nicole cries that it breaks her heart that something she’s been longing for so long could end painfully, so she needs them to help her through this regardless of the results and who the father is. Nicole asks if they can do that for her. Kayla comes over and announces that she has the results. Nicole asks if they can go somewhere private. Kayla says she would love to but she’s in the middle of an emergency. Eric asks if it has to do with Colin Bedford. Kayla responds that it’s a lot more than that because Abe has disappeared from his recovery room and the police think the two are connected.

Sloan is at her apartment, wondering where Colin is and what he’s up to now. Jada arrives, so Sloan questions what she wants. Jada reveals a search warrant. Sloan asks if she thinks she would be dumb enough to hide Colin in her own apartment. Jada says maybe not, but if she’s helping him then she might can find something. Sloan insists that she’s not, but questions thinking she’d be dumb enough to leave clues laying around if she was. Sloan remarks that the police department might be better off hiring officers that aren’t so easily overpowered by a guy who just fell off a roof. Jada tells Sloan that the mayor is missing and demands that she tell her now if she knows anything, warning that things will not go well for her or brother otherwise.

Gwen asks Leo to be more specific. Leo tells her that it’s Colin Bedford. Gwen thinks that makes no sense and that he’s being paranoid as she asks why Colin is out to get him. Leo explains that he lost his phone, so he flagged down a cop to help but it turned out to be Colin. Gwen questions Colin posing as a cop. Leo adds that now Colin knows that he knows, so he worries about Colin showing up at the door.

Megan asks Dimitri what took him so long to show up. Dimitri responds that the US Government were less than thrilled to grant them immunity so they made sure to make his customs process arduous. Megan is just glad he’s here now, where he belongs. Megan asks Dimitri if he remembers his aunt Kristen. Dimitri asks how he could forget, recalling the last time he saw Kristen in Amsterdam where she pointed a gun at his crotch. Kristen points out that she didn’t know he was her nephew at the time and thought he was just a pesky ISA agent with Billie Reed. Megan suggests letting bygones be bygones, especially if they are going to be married which Kristen and Dimitri both question.

Xander doesn’t get why Chloe would quit her job at the newspaper and asks what Gwen did. Chloe explains that Gwen rolled out the unwelcome mat in so many awful ways that she lost count. Chloe tells Xander that Gwen tried to make her office be a broom closet and then she was texting her every 45 minutes with an unreachable sales goal, setting her up to fail. Chloe knows Xander stuck his neck out for her to get the job but she won’t take that treatment from anyone. Xander apologizes as he had no idea that Gwen would treat her like this. Chloe understands that he tried. Xander responds that the problem is Chloe did not try and asks her not to quit yet. Xander points out that if Chloe quits, Gwen wins.

Gwen tells Leo that no one is coming to murder him. Leo complains that he’s not as optimistic. Gwen argues that Colin is on the run from the police, so Leo is the least of his problems. Leo worries that Colin thinks he might talk to the police and complains that Colin is legit scary. Leo talks about how hot Colin is as well. Gwen encourages that he has nothing to worry about and suggests he focus on something else, like his next column. Leo insists that he’s not writing about Colin since that’s what got him riled up in the first place. Gwen informs Leo that she actually needs him to find some dirt on somebody else.

Dimitri questions Megan already trying to marry him off and to his aunt at that. Kristen questions making this outrageous suggestion without consulting her first. Megan responds that she was confident they would go along with it, noting that they are not related by blood and it’s hardly breaking ground for the DiMeras. Megan brings up Kristen marrying Tony because it was Stefano’s wish and she saw the wisdom in it. Megan toasts to their upcoming marriage.

Sloan asks Jada about conflict of interest, since she has family mixed up in this as well. Jada argues that Talia would have had nothing to do with this if it wasn’t for Colin. Sloan points out that Talia was the one actually committing the crimes that Colin is accused of. Sloan tells Jada to finish up her search and get out already, remarking that she has enough on her mind with her boyfriend’s ex being pregnant which catches Jada’s attention. Sloan asks if Jada didn’t know and then informs her that Nicole is knocked up and the baby might be Eric’s.

Eric asks if Nicole is okay. Nicole worries about Abe. EJ encourages that they will find him and offers to volunteer a security team to help the search. Nicole asks if there are any leads. Kayla says not yet but she needs to get to her office for an update. Kayla says she’s sorry she can’t stay but she’ll be around if she needs her as she hugs Nicole. Nicole thanks Kayla for bringing the test. Kayla then walks away, leaving Nicole in between EJ and Eric with the test results.

Gwen shows Leo a photo of Dimitri, who he recognizes. Gwen explains that Dimitri is not only free, but has deep roots in Salem and reveals that he’s a Dimitri as he’s Megan Hathaway’s son. Gwen adds that Dimitri’s plane has just landed in Salem, so she wants Leo to find out why he’s here and what he wants. Leo responds that it sounds great but she’ll have to get someone else to cover it because he’s already got one psycho after him and doesn’t need another.

Dimitri tells Megan that he understands he and Kristen are not blood related but they are also not a good match and brings up their age difference. Megan thinks they could be highly compatible if they gave it a shot as they are both charming and charismatic. Megan suggests Dimitri proposes for practical reasons. Kristen asks for an explanation. Megan reveals that she recently found out there is a sizable amount of Von Leuschner that Dimitri is in line to collect, but there are strings as it specifies that Dimitri must be married before he’s 40 and he’s now 39. Dimitri questions why he’s never heard of this trust. Megan says she hasn’t either until now because some members of his extended family are hoping he won’t make the deadline, but the money is his if he acts. Dimitri asks how much money they are talking. Megan calls it more than enough to kickstart their plans as she and Kristen want to take over the world and she assumes that Dimitri is in.

Jada questions Sloan about Eric and Nicole, arguing that they aren’t even seeing each other and Nicole is with EJ now. Sloan confirms that but remarks that if Nicole is pregnant with Eric’s baby then Jada can blame her sister for that. Jada questions what Talia has to do with it. Sloan explains that Eric and Nicole had the drugged biscuits and while under the influence, they forgot all about her, EJ, and birth control. Jada calls that unfortunate for everyone involved. Sloan says it must bring up painful memories for Jada too since she and Eric would still be together if she hadn’t gotten that abortion and they could be singing to their baby but instead, Eric might finally get to be a father, just with someone else.

Eric tells Nicole that if she wants to wait on the test results until there’s an update on Abe, he will understand. EJ tells Eric to can the fake sympathy as he wants answers just as bad as he does. EJ feels it’s better to get it over with now and then once they have the answer, Nicole can focus on bringing Abe home. Eric questions if it is all about Abe while EJ asks if Nicole is tired of Eric buzzing around. Nicole stops them and asks them to just let her do this. Nicole then opens the envelope and reads the test results. EJ asks what it says. Nicole announces that Eric is not a match. EJ excitedly declares that he knew the child was his and calls it a miracle as he kisses Nicole. Eric congratulates them. EJ tells Eric that he’s sure it stings a bit but in the long run, it’s best for everyone involved as they don’t have to go through the awkwardness of Eric and Nicole raising a baby while Nicole is with him and Sloan is spared the pain of Eric raising a child with another woman. EJ feels that everyone is a winner today. Eric guesses that’s it and wishes them the best of luck with everything. Nicole thanks Eric as he then walks away. EJ excitedly hugs Nicole and calls this a gift that changes everything. Eric slowly exits through the elevator.

Sloan tells Jada that she told her she wouldn’t find anything. Sloan suggests if Jada wants to grill somebody, she can go see Leo Stark. Jada asks why she would do that. Sloan reveals that Leo said he ran in to Colin earlier today. Jada questions why she didn’t tell her that when she got there. Sloan responds that it’s not her job to help Jada do her job. Jada argues that Sloan withheld vital information in an ongoing case. Sloan tells Jada to go ahead if she wants to arrest her for being an accessory because she would love nothing more than to sue for false arrest. Jada warns that Sloan is not off the hook yet as she then walks out of the apartment.

Xander tells Chloe that he knows Gwen can be difficult at times, but asks her not to close the door on this opportunity. Xander encourages that Gwen is only bullying her because she didn’t get her way. Xander knows Chloe can overcome this. Chloe acknowledges standing up to bullies since high school. Xander says the only way to beat a bully is to prove they won’t break her. Xander tells Chloe that he’ll be there and needs Chloe to fight. Chloe says maybe she doesn’t want to fight and she’s just tired. Xander encourages that it’s only been one day. Chloe feels it will be this way every day and asks why she should subject herself to that. Xander asks her to do it for him. Xander explains that he and Gwen are locked in a battle of wills, so if Chloe leaves, he’ll be on his own against her. Chloe points out that Xander used to love Gwen. Xander says now Gwen lives to antagonize him, so if Chloe leaves, she will use that as proof that he was wrong and it will be one battle after another. Xander jokes that it will also turn him in to a miserable roommate. Chloe then agrees to stay at the job and give it another try. Xander promises that she won’t regret it. Chloe suggests pouring them some of the champagne now. Xander offers to go out instead and get whatever she wants. Chloe says she’d rather stay in, put her feet up, and watch a movie so she asks if they can just order in. Xander says absolutely not since she is sacrificing herself for his sanity, so she deserves better. Xander declares that he will prepare a feast. Xander then pours champagne to toast to Chloe’s ultimate victory and Gwen’s inevitable defeat.

Gwen can’t believe Leo would pass on such a juicy story. Leo reminds her that he’s the one who switched the emerald on the Alamanian Peacock, preventing Dimitri’s plan to take over the world. Gwen thinks their history makes Leo perfect for the job. Leo feels Dimitri probably wants him dead for foiling his plans and repeats that he doesn’t need another psycho wanting his head on the wall. Gwen decides she’ll have to find somebody else then to cover the greatest and largest story of the year. Gwen brings up a Pulitzer prize and possible book deal coming out of it. Gwen says it has all the elements of a breakaway hit and imagines it could be a 7 figure deal. Gwen says she understands his trepidation and doesn’t want him to put himself in any danger. Leo starts to express interest but still says no, asking what good all that money would be if he’s too dead to spend it, so he tells Gwen to find someone else to cover it. Gwen decides if you want something done, you have to do it yourself. Gwen declares that she will write the article and if something comes of it, she won’t share any of it with him. Gwen jokes with Leo to lock the door because he never knows who might be coming. Gwen then exits and Leo rushes to lock the door.

Kristen questions Megan’s plan to finance their mutual ambitions. Megan explains that if they keep it in the family, they can get the money quickly and save time trying to find Dimitri a suitable partner while not having the risk of it turning out to be a gold digger. Megan declares that opportunity is knocking and they must answer.

Eric goes to Sloan’s apartment and asks if there’s any news on Colin. Sloan says no but he did just miss Jada and her search warrant which was a complete waste of time since she didn’t find anything. Eric asks if she heard about Abe. Sloan confirms she has but says that Colin is desperate though not a monster or stupid enough to put a target on his back like that. Sloan asks how Eric heard about it and if it’s on the news. Eric says no and explains that he was at the hospital when Kayla told him. Sloan asks what he was doing at the hospital. Eric informs her that Nicole got the results back from the DNA test and he’s not there. Eric tells Sloan that she doesn’t have to pretend she’s not happy. Sloan can’t deny that’s what she was hoping to hear, but she knows how much he wanted to be a father and she can see that he’s hurting. Eric decides it’s not the right time and guesses that’s probably for the best.

EJ excitedly tells Nicole that it’s truly happening that they are having a baby together. EJ says he felt all along that it was his baby as they kiss. EJ asks Nicole if they are to share the news or keep it to themselves. Nicole thinks they should wait. EJ asks if she’s worried about her history. Nicole doesn’t want to be negative but also doesn’t want to forget there’s a really good chance that she can’t carry the baby to term. EJ understands that she’s dealt with this disappointment twice before but encourages her not to let the past dictate the future. EJ declares that the first step is getting her the best care possible and there is no time to waste as they walk off together.

Xander cooks egg sandwiches for he and Chloe. Xander encourages her to try it and she admits it’s really good. Xander says it pairs nicely with the champagne. Xander talks about Scottish people inventing things which Chloe jokes with him about. Xander then kisses Chloe.

Megan talks to Dimitri and Kristen about their wedding. Dimitri admits that Megan has thought this all through but says his answer is no. Megan asks Kristen to make the right choice and persuade Dimitri that this is the best choice they have. Kristen says she has to agree with Dimitri as she is preparing for a custody fight and showing up with her nephew on her arm won’t win her brownie points with the judge. Megan calls them pathetic. Dimitri says there are plenty of fish in the sea. Megan feels most of them are not suitable for him to marry. Megan declares that if they are not keeping it in the family, they have to find someone very special for him to marry. Gwen then walks in and says she’s looking for Dimitri.

Leo remains looking at Dimitri’s photo and says maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to get up close and personal with that. Leo wishes Dimitri was homosexual instead of homicidal. There’s then a knock at the door which startles Leo, causing him to worry that it’s the other homicidal maniac but it’s Jada. Leo asks what he can do for her. Jada says she understands that he had a run in with Colin Bedford. Leo confirms that he did and says it was just brief small talk. Leo swears that he doesn’t know anything. Jada thinks he does and demands him tell everything about his encounter from start to finish, unless he’d like to spend the night in a jail cell.

Kayla is on the phone in her office, saying she will put out a statement about Colin’s possible involvement in Abe’s disappearance in about an hour and says to send any press inquiries to the administrator’s office. She hangs up as EJ and Nicole enter. EJ informs Kayla that they are both doing very well after getting the news they were hoping for. Kayla says she’s glad that is the case and asks how she can help. Nicole admits they are concerned about her medical history and if she can carry the baby to term since the scar tissue on her uterus has created issues. Kayla knows she’s had her struggles. EJ wonders if there has been advances in technology or anything that will improve their chances. Kayla says she’s not a fertility doctor but she can give them a referral. EJ says they will remain optimistic. Kayla says she has to go make a statement to the board about the Abe situation but she wants to talk to Nicole and she will get them the number to the specialist. Kayla adds that she is in their corner as she exits. EJ promises Nicole that he will move Heaven and Earth to get them a successful outcome and that she will bring their baby to term. Nicole agrees to pray for that. EJ tells Nicole that he loves her and kisses her.

Sloan tells Eric that she hates seeing him in pain. Eric appreciates her saying that. Eric says he’s happy being here with her and looks forward to their future together. Eric tells Sloan that he loves her. Sloan responds that she loves him as they hug. Sloan then thinks back to the night of the cheek swab, revealing that she told herself she couldn’t risk losing Eric to Nicole if the baby is his, so she used the cheek swab on herself and not Eric which caused the DNA test to not be a match. Sloan then tells Eric that he’s all she ever wanted.

Tucker: Mind-blowing sex, man.

Ashley: Oh, that.

[ Chuckles ]

Tucker: I’m in my happy place. You should join me.

Ashley: I can’t, not while diane jenkins is–

Tucker: Oh, diane jenkins, diane jenkins!

Ashley: Easy, easy.

Tucker: I got an idea. Right now, we go to the airport, you and me, and we fly anywhere in the world. Vacation. Take you away from all this diane jenkins stress.

Ashley: I can’T. Not while this stress wants to marry my brother, and destroy my family. Not a chance.

Tucker: Mm. Worth a shot.

Ashley: [ Sighs ] You don’t honestly think that I’m gonna walk away from this fight, do you?

Tucker: All right, so you’re not afraid of diane. Congratulations. I am. And if you’re not careful, you’re gonna strangle her.

[ Chuckles ] You’re gonna be fitted with your own ankle monitor.

Jack: It’s been a very full day. May I take you home?

Diane: Yes, you may. But not yet. I never want this day to end.

Jack: Then I will hold you in my arms as long as you want.

Kyle: What the hell is phyllis doing here?

Summer: Kyle, you followed me here?

Kyle: I was worried.

Phyllis: I can explain.

Kyle: I don’t give a damn about your explanations. We are going to the police station right now, and you are turning yourself in. Strong enamel is your best defense

Summer: I know that this is a huge shock.

Kyle: You think?

Summer: I mean, it is for all of us, I– I’m still getting used to it myself. Seeing my mom in the flesh like this, it’s amazing.

Kyle: That’s one word for it. How long has phyllis been here?

Summer: Daniel, could you please wait in the hallway? In case somebody else comes, you could head them off.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Kyle. Well, I’m– I’m sure you have a lot to say to me, right?

Kyle: Damn right, I do! Summer was broken because of you. My mother was facing life in prison because of you.

Phyllis: Aw, your mom is so innocent. Isn’t she? She’s never committed a crime, she’s never hurt anybody or put anybody through pain, right?

Summer: Mom, please.

Phyllis: Uh– it’s okay, babe. I’m sorry. Kyle, I’m sorry. I really am. Please, believe me. Oh, god. I’m sorry, I– my head’s spinning. I– I– this is so hard for me. I know I put a lot of people through pain, and one of those people is your mother, and I am so sorry. Kyle, please believe me. That’s why I’m back. That’s why I’m here. I want to make amends. I want to make things right.

Diane: [ Sighs ] Love won, jack. We won, because of you. You made this possible. Your love, your compassion, your patience. You let me back into your life when everyone was telling you to run the other way. And I saw you struggle, I saw– I saw how hard it was for you to trust me, and I– I just wanted to be worthy of that trust.

Jack: I have never loved you more.

[ Diane chuckles ] And I couldn’t be more excited about our future.

Diane: When we were dancing, I was thinking about how I could have never had this kind of day as the person I was before. But I’m free of the past, of– of so much bitterness. Falling in love with you again, seeing your grace, your generosity of spirit, learning from you… I’ve found a compassion of my own. Even for phyllis. As angry as I am with her, I also pity her.

Jack: I thought we weren’t gonna talk about phyllis tonight.

Diane: You’re right. Let’s talk about you some more.

Jack: No, I got a better topic. You said earlier you can’t wait to get married.

Diane: That’s right.

Jack: So, when? When can we be pronounced husband and wife?

Ashley: Diane is unfinished business for me.

Tucker: Mm-hmm.

Ashley: I can’t focus on anything else until I handle that, which is why I need your help.

Tucker: A very wise woman once forced me to become a better man in spite of myself. And, uh, I kind of like who I’ve become. Feels very good. This, however, feels very… aggressive.

Ashley: Are you not hearing anything I’m saying to you? I’m doing this for the right reason. I want to save my family, and the abbott legacy, which, by the way, used to be jack’s reason for existing until diane hijacked his brain.

Tucker: Do you really believe that diane is after jabot?

Ashley: Yes. She’s not marrying jack because she loves him, she wants access to respectability, to money, to power.

Tucker: And jabot is her ticket?

Ashley: Yes, she will convince jack to give her her position that she’s not qualified for, and she’ll use it to claw her way to the top, which is why I– you know, as I told you, I spoke to the board.

Tucker: So, your idea is to weaponize the board against jack in order to save jack?

[ Ashley sighs ] I don’t like that word, “weaponize,” but…

Tucker: Whatever.

Ashley: Yeah, it’s the only way.

Nick: How’s our girl?

Sharon: She’s awake, and, um, on high alert. She’s snuggling with borgnine, I think he makes her feel a little safer. But now that we’re back home, she’s gonna try to get some sleep.

Nick: This is crazy. It makes me want to hunt down this creep and run him out of town myself.

Sharon: Nick.

Nick: I know, I know. Calm and reasonable.

[ Sighs ] Calm and reasonable, but it is getting harder and harder to be rational about this. This madman is on the loose. We don’t know why he’s here or what he’s planning on doing.

Sharon: Maybe, it’s time we let victor and nikki know what’s happening. Why give your family just any eggs

Nick: I’ve already alerted ranch security. If we bring my dad in on this, it’s gonna turn into a whole different situation, and I’m not sure I’m ready for that.

Sharon: Well… your dad does have resources that we don’t have access to.

Nick: I know, but if we ask for his help, he’s gonna want something in return.

Sharon: Well, his family is in danger. He would do whatever it takes to protect them.

Nick: He absolutely will, but I’m telling you, he will use it as leverage to get something he wants from me, like… make me work with adam at mccall, which he’s already tried to do and it’s never gonna happen.

Sharon: Oh, I think you’re overreacting.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Am I? He hates my relationship with sally. We already have the police on this, sharon.

Sharon: Well, you said yourself, they’ve come up with nothing on cameron so far.

Nick: I do hate the waiting.

Sharon: Yeah, I know. You’re horrible at it. Nick. If you take matters into your own hands, I don’t know if we will be so lucky as we were last time. It’s a miracle that we’re actually still here after what went down in that plane.

Nick: I know.

Sharon: We should have worked with victor from the start last time, instead of waiting until I was framed for frank’s murder. This time, we know who cameron is, we know what he’s capable of, and we need to be reaching out for all the support we can get. We need your father.

Tucker: If I’m gonna ride shotgun on this thing, we need to analyze every angle.

Ashley: Mm-hmm.

Tucker: Like, when things don’t go according to plan. ‘Cause jack, if nothing else, is beloved by all. Yes, he is.

Ashley: Mm.

Tucker: And it’s gonna take real artistry to convince the board that he’s unfit. And billy’s on his side. And traci, well, she just wants to get along with everyone. What about kyle? I don’t see us getting his vote. And do you want to bring abby through the ringer?

Ashley: Okay, okay, you’re right. I know, there’s parts of this plan that require some serious finessing, but nobody finesses better than you. Right?

Tucker: Mm-hmm. But if you– if you come at the king and you miss… jack would be lionized, he’d be untouchable, and diane would be right there with him. And you would’ve lost your family in the process.

Ashley: I’m not going to fail. Period. It won’t happen.

Tucker: Mm-hmm.

Ashley: And then, diane will lose, you know, her access to respectability, power, and money, and she will lose interest in jack. And she’ll move on to the next jeremy stark, and jack will be sadder, but he’ll be wiser.

Tucker: Thanks to you.

Ashley: Yes. Thanks to me. I’ll save my brother, I’ll save my family.

Tucker: Mm.

Ashley: Oh, and by the way, diane will get a long overdue karmic kick in her ass.

Tucker: Hmm.

Ashley: Don’t you want to be along for the ride, baby?

Tucker: All right. I’m in.

Ashley: Mm.

Tucker: But if we’re going in full throttle like this, I have a suggestion.

Ashley: Of course.

Tucker: We get married immediately.

Diane: Okay. Before we set an actual date, there’s just a few details I wanna run by you.

Jack: Okay, but I pre-agree to almost everything.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Good idea. Okay, I’d like it to be small, yet elegant. After our big announcement at the gala, I’m a little gun shy about grand gestures.

Jack: Understandably. Small and intimate is ideal.

Diane: Good. And I’d like harrison to be our ring bearer.

Jack: That would be my choice, too. He will steal the show, you know that, don’t you–

Diane: Oh, oh, I– I hope so. And normally, I would ask kyle to walk me down the aisle, but I’m assuming that you’re going to want him to be your best man, so…

[ Sighs ] …I would love it if we walked down together. Because that’s how we’ve done everything since you let me back into your life.

Jack: I love that. I would like nothing better.

Diane: Good. And… mm. I do have one more idea.

[ Sighs ] If she’ll accept, I would like summer to be my matron of honor.

Jack: Summer? You’re certain?

Diane: Yeah, our family means everything to me, jack, and I want our wedding to reflect that. And since phyllis pulled this horrible stunt, summer’s been– well, she’s been lost to us. I want her to know that she’s important, that she’s loved, and I want our wedding day to prove that phyllis has no power over our family.

Kyle: If you’re so damn remorseful, and want to make amends, and do the right thing, turn yourself in!

Summer: Kyle, that isn’t the answer.

Phyllis: No, it’s okay, summer. I know how kyle feels.

Kyle: No, you have no idea how I feel.

Phyllis: You’re right, you’re right, I have no idea how you feel. [ Sighs ] I should be punished for what I did. I realize that. I will accept punishment, but please, kyle, no police. No police, not until I clear my name.

Kyle: And there it is. You just made it about saving your own ass.

Summer: Kyle, please.

Phyllis: That’s okay. I know I was wrong, and I am so sorry. In a million ways, I am sorry. But that’s why I’m back. To do the right thing, kyle. Just like your mom did. I’m here to take responsibility, and have accountability. And I’m gonna start by admitting that I resented your mother.

Kyle: Oh, that’s an understatement.

Phyllis: I did. Because she had everything I wanted. She had a family, she had a son who loved her. And my kids wanted nothing to do with me. And I was alone. I was completely alone. And then, jeremy stark started whispering in my ear, and I tried to push him away, but he kept coming back. And I am ashamed to say that I wanted your mother hurt. And so I gave in to jeremy’s plan.

Kyle: So, you’re a victim?

Phyllis: Yeah. Just like your mom. Because jeremy took advantage of your mom when she was weak and vulnerable, just like he did me. But then, I realized…

[ Sighs ] …I was in too deep, and the only way to save myself… was by– was by hurting jeremy.

Kyle: By killing him.

Phyllis: Yes. But it wasn’t murder, kyle. It was self-defense.

Kyle: Your word against a dead man’s?

Phyllis: But it’s true. It was self-defense, and that’s why I need more time. I need to find a way to clear my name. Kyle, please. [ Gasping ] For my family, my life. I mean, it’s in your hands right now. Hey, dad. I got an a on my book report.

Kyle: How do you plan to clear your name? And how do you expect to stay hidden? Because the gcac isn’t exactly in the middle of nowhere.

Phyllis: Hey, listen, it wasn’t the smartest thing to do, but I couldn’t stay away. Um… I couldn’t be away from my babies, so…

[ Phyllis sighs ] You know the idea that– that daniel is just on another floor, and– and that, you know, summer might come here to have a meal at the restaurant, it just– it gave me comfort.

Summer: Kyle, I can’t lose my mom again. I know that you understand how that feels.

Phyllis: Hey, um… let’s look at this, um, rationally.

Kyle: Rational? You?

Phyllis: You remember when your mother came back, right? Back from the dead? And you were so angry at her. Like you are at me right now. And it took some time, kyle, but you forgave her, and the two of you have built this amazing relationship, and, oh, my gosh, it’s so beautiful to watch. It truly is. And all I’m asking for is just time.

Kyle: No, it’s totally different.

Phyllis: How’s it different? Uh, well, I mean, your mom was gone for years and years, so, in that sense, yeah, ’cause, for me, it’s just been A… but these are the similarities. Your mother was unhappy and the idea of a brand new life seemed very, very appealing and I completely understand that. But we couldn’t be away from our babies, so we had to come back. And you see, that is the same. You see that, right?

[ Chuckles ] Kyle, I need time.

Kyle: No.

Phyllis: I will make this right, I just–

Kyle: No, no, no. Stop. Stop. I watched summer cry herself to sleep. I watched her retreat into her grief to a point I didn’t know if she could ever return. You did that. And then you magically reappear with all your tears and your victimhood and your apologies, and you expect summer to risk it all to help you avoid a punishment you deserve.

Phyllis: I would never put my daughter in harm’s way.

Kyle: It has already happened. I feel guilty even being in this room. It makes us all complicit. And you don’t even give a damn because all you think about is yourself.

Phyllis: That’s not true.

Kyle: Hmm? Aiding and abetting. Obstruction of justice. Collusion. We could all go to jail for being in this room, and then what happens to harrison? Have either of you thought about that?

Nikki: It’s late, is everything all right? Is faith home?

Sharon: Uh, yeah, she’s upstairs asleep, hopefully.

Victor: So, what is going on?

Nick: It’s cameron kirsten.

Nikki: What about him?

Sharon: He’s back in genoa city.

Nikki: What?

Victor: They let that slimeball out of prison?

Nick: Yeah. He’s definitely here.

Nikki: Oh, no!

Sharon: For a few weeks now I’ve been receiving these mysterious gifts. Um, a champagne bottle that apparently has blood on it, uh, a postcard from denver, colorado, and then a cigar box with a matchbook inside from the southside hotel, and that was delivered here despite security.

Victor: But have you seen him?

Sharon: Yes. Tonight at the coffeehouse, nick was helping me close up. Mostly he just taunted us and then he left, but the scary thing is, he approached faith when she was in chancellor park and pretended to be an old friend.

Victor: Have you called the cops?

Nick: Yeah. We brought chance in on this. He, uh– he told us what cameron’s been up to. Apparently, he got out of prison, moved out to la. He got a new girlfriend, one that looks eerily similar to sharon. He then beat her up, ended up back in prison, did more time, but now he’s out again. Back to playing his old sick mind games.

Sharon: Chance has the police looking for cameron, but so far, nothing.

Nikki: Maybe we should put additional guards at the gate and a patrol around the perimeter?

Victor: That’ll be done before we get back to the house. This is unbelievable.

Nikki: Well, I would feel much more comfortable if sharon and faith stayed at our house for the night.

Sharon: Oh, that is so nice of you. Thank you. That’s really up to faith. She can be a little bit stubborn, but thank you so much for the offer.

Victor: I promise you, I’ll do everything I can to keep you safe, okay? Join me in the

“The young and the restless” will continue.

Summer: No, I– I wouldn’t do anything to hurt harrison ever.

Kyle: No, no, no, it has already happened. If this goes on any longer and the cops catch you, how do we explain mommy’s in jail?

> Summer: It’s not fair!

Kyle: It’s the reality, summer.

Summer: Kyle, we get it. My mom has made huge mistakes. I know. And she’s willing to accept the consequences, but she deserves a fighting chance. Kyle, if we don’t help her find a way to clear her of killing stark, then she’s gonna be at the mercy of christine, and that’s not justice!

Kyle: Maybe she should have thought about the consequences before she framed my mother for murder, killed stark, dragged you into this mess. I will never forgive you for this.

Phyllis: Kyle, I’m gonna make this right. I swear to you. I swear to you, I’m gonna make this right. I just need time, just a little bit of time, and only you can give that to me.

Kyle: Oh, you are relentless.

Summer: Please. Kyle, please.

Kyle: No cops… for now.

[ Summer sighs ]

Phyllis: Okay, uh, go. Go ahead.

[ Daniel whistles sharply ]

Daniel: Not what you had planned, huh?

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ] No. Not at all.

Jack: You know I love summer and I would like nothing more than to see her stand up for you, but I– I don’t think she will accept and I don’t want to see you get your feelings hurt.

Diane: Well, I have to at least try. Just like I have been trying with her.

Jack: I know, I know.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Okay, so when you asked me to marry you at the cabin, I kind of– kind of had a little day dream about what our wedding day would look like.

Jack: Uh-huh.

Diane: And that included having summer accept me as part of her family. And I’m not ready to give up on that. I have my life back, jack, and I want to do what my heart says is right. And that includes being there for summer.

Jack: And I say, by all means, follow your heart.

Diane: You know what else my heart is saying?

Jack: No, what?

Diane: That it’s time to go home and make love to my husband-to-be.

Jack: I like that idea. In fact, I wish that had been my idea.

[ Diane chuckles ]

Ashley: I gotta tell you, it’s kind of strange that you’re so laser-focused on getting married.

Tucker: Hmm. I just– I want… validation. Affirmation of… I want the ring on my finger also to– to say to the world, “ladies, I’m spoken for. I am out of circulation.”

Ashley: Oh, that ring really stopped you from circulating before, didn’t it?

Tucker: Yeah, I know. I know what it’s like to lose you now so I’m not gonna let that happen. And when you set the date, I’ll know you’re finally ready to let me into your life, and when you say the vows, they’ll come from your heart, and they will be forever.

Ashley: Hmm. Well, then. You think you know me so well.

Tucker: I do know you so well. You wanna know the kicker? Not only will marrying you be a dream come true for me, but it will give me the legal maneuverability to take over jabot. Totally throw jack and diane off their game. If you had a bladder accident today,

Phyllis: How you doing? Really?

Daniel: [ Laughs ] You know, kyle just tore out of here, he might be ready to set a match to your future, and you’re worried about me?

Phyllis: Well, of course I’m worried about you. I’m a mom, that’s what we do, we worry, all the time.

[ Laughs nervously] I’m a mom, even though you think that I am a vindictive psychopath most of the time.

[ Daniel laughs ]

Daniel: You know, when I saw you on the floor at the gala, when stark said that the two of you were married, I– you know I attacked the guy, right?

[ Phyllis chuckles ] I hated myself, because of all the things that were left unsaid between the two of us, and I– I hated the world because you weren’t in it anymore. But you were. You were there. You were there at your memorial and you saw me in pain, you saw me grieving, and you just– you just let me feel that.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Um… I did. And I’m sorry. I’m lucky you’re talking to me. I know that. And I know I put you through pain– it kills me. But I’ll let you talk about it as long as you want, even if it takes years.

Daniel: You know I love you, mom. And I’m so glad that you’re back, but forgiving you? I can’t believe that you would do the things you did to your own children.

[ Door slamming ]

Summer: That was a shock, right? Seeing my mom like that?

Kyle: You didn’t seem shocked.

Summer: I don’t understand.

Kyle: You came face to face for the first time with the mother you mourned for months and you were so calm. You were rational. Might sound crazy, but it’s almost as if you were more surprised to see me than phyllis.

Summer: That does sound crazy.

Kyle: Yeah? Because I’m pretty sure that wasn’t the first time you’d seen phyllis, was it? How long have you known phyllis was alive?

Victor: I want security outside this door 24/7, patrolling the perimeter of the ranch at all times. Clear? Thank you.

Sharon: Thank you so much, victor.

Nick: I talked to your head of security. They’ve got an entire team tracking cameron’s whereabouts. Hopefully, they hear something soon.

Victor: Sometimes I’ve the feeling that our security is more effective than the cops are.

Nick: That is exactly what I’m counting on.

Victor: How’s faith?

Nikki: Well, sharon, you were right. She wouldn’t budge. When I asked her to sleep up at the main house tonight, she said nobody is going to scare her out of her own home.

Nick: That’s my girl. As stubborn as her grandpa.

Nikki: Well, I guess if a guard is here, I can live with that.

Victor: Yes. It’s all taken care of, okay?

Sharon: Thank you so much, victor. I really do feel a lot better just knowing that we are actively doing something to protect faith and to find cameron.

Victor: Sharon, I want you and faith to get some sleep now. I will make certain that someone is watching this house at all times, all right?

[ Nick sighs ]

[ Door creaks open]

[ Bag rustling ] Somedays, I cover up because of my moderate

Phyllis: Well, I will tell you something. Um… I don’t really understand… why I do some of the things I do myself. I do know that I hurt the two people that I love most in the world… and I put myself in my own personal hell, you know?

Daniel: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, you kind of dragged us along with you.

Phyllis: And I’m gonna make it up to you. I just can’t do it in a prison cell. I can’t go to prison. Daniel, I can’t go. I can’t go. But I am done running. I will never run again, and I will never, ever be separated from my family again. Do you understand? Do you believe me?

[ Door clicks open ]

Kyle: Well?

Summer: Kyle, I don’t know what you’re talking–

[ Jack and diane chattering ]

Jack: Oh. Hi, there.

Kyle: Hi.

Diane: Hi. Uh, gosh, summer, I know this must be hard for you, watching us celebrate my freedom when your mother is out there somewhere, and I’m– I’m sure you’re really worried about her. But I have a feeling everything will work out for phyllis. She’ll come back, she’ll get the support she needs for whatever’s ahead, and she should. For you and daniel. And I’m– I’m just so glad that you have kyle to lean on, because as long as you continue to keep letting each other in, love and trust can move mountains.

Jack: That is absolutely true.

Diane: Yeah.

[ Door clicks open ]

[ Ashley and tucker laughing ]

Ashley: Oh, this is fantastic, you’re all here!

Tucker: Hey!

Jack: Uh, we were just headed up.

Ashley: Oh, no, no, no, no. Please just stay for a second.

Jack: You know what, it– it’s kinda late–

Tucker: No, no, no, no, it’s– it’s not too late because we have to celebrate. We have to toast to the fact that this– this miracle of a woman has decided to marry me yet again!

Ashley: [ Cheering ] Yay!

Tucker: And as soon as humanly possible.

Ashley: Ooh, okay. Mm. Mm. Mm.

Tucker: Yeah.

Sharon: Hey, whatever happened to the tea you were gonna make me?

Nick: I’ll do it right now.

Sharon: No, no, I’m– I’m just kidding. Really, all I want is to just tuck myself in bed.

Nick: I don’t know how you can be so calm, I mean, just knowing cameron’s out there is making my skin crawl.

Sharon: Well, I just keep telling myself that we can handle this, you know? We know him, we know he’s dangerous, diabolical, we know he’s not afraid of going back to prison. And we have got victor’s entire security team and the police on our side. He doesn’t stand a chance.

[ Phone pinging ] What is it?

Nick: It’s from my dad. One of his security team was found tied up, drugged, and stuffed into a closet at newman tower.

Sharon: Oh, no.

Nick: And his uniform was missing.

[ Unzipping ]

[ Sighing ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Brook Lynn: You want some? Wow. It’s delicious. What flavor is it? I could care less. You’re special. Once-in-a-lifetime. And the thought of losing you, it — it scares me because… ’cause I’m in love with you, joss. So now it’s my turn to ask… is this too much for you?

[ Scoffs lightly ]

[ Giggles ]

Built our love and we built this house from the ground up thirty seconds went by before I could recognize we went down we went down with our heads down with our heads down we went down we went down to the ground oh, we tried, oh [ Vocalizing ] Finally. Esme will be held accountable for what she did to us. And once she’s charged, you should have no problem getting custody of your baby brother. Yeah. Except ace went with esme to spring ridge. And who’s to say that that’s not going to happen again? First of all, pentonville is on a whole other level of what’s appropriate for a baby. And, second, ace isn’t fresh out of the hospital this time around. He’s settled into your grandmother’s place. Diane can argue that it isn’t best to disrupt his life. And she would be right. I just never thought I’d be grateful for your uncle victor. But he really came through for you, spencer, uncovered evidence that the pcpd missed. Okay. What — what are we waiting for? Let’s go to the pcpd! No, I’m sorry — I’m sorry, trina. Uh… you can’t do that. You’re too late. Any connections I had to the jeromes or the family business died twice — once with my father and then again with my brother julian. We were impressed by your pedigree. The fact that you’re a jerome certainly did get our attention. Great. Well, take your request down route 31 to pentonville and talk to my sister olivia. Alas, olivia jerome can’t help me. Okay, so, mason gets off on playing mind games with people ’cause he’s never really figured out what to do with his life. I, on the other hand, have rounds coming up, so maybe we could move this along. Mason, just please, just — just tell us what it is that you want. When I refer to ava’s family, I’m not talking about the jeromes… or even the cassadines, what’s left of them. I’m talking about the father of your daughter, ava. The biggest value you hold for us… is your connection to sonny corinthos. Margarita on the rocks. No salt. I hope you find what you’re searching for here, curtis. And I hope you and portia can be happy, whether it’s together or apart. And you? I have to truly let go. Finally. Two years was too long to put my life on hold. I can’t wait a minute more. The fact that this footage exists is dangerous for your father. Have you shown this to anyone else? Yeah. Willow’s seen it.

[ Breathes deeply ] Willow knows that you’re working against your father? I only showed her recently. What did she say?

[ Scoffs ] Well, she asked me to get rid of the footage. She’s right, michael. You have to destroy this flash drive.


Why are you looking at me like that? Like what? Like that. It’s the only way I know how to look at you. Do you want me to stop? Don’t you dare. So how was your day? It was great.

[ Chuckles ] Well, what’s new in detective land? Actually, we caught the guy that was robbing all the shops on charles street. That must have felt good. It really did.

[ Chuckles ] I am gonna go get an other beer. Do you want anything? Everything I want is right here. Tracy: Whew! How sweet! Would you run and get me a singapore sling?

[ Indistinct conversations ] I’m finished with mr. Han. When’s my next appointment? Ten minutes.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

[ Sighs ] I haven’t run the clinic in so long. I’m not used to this many walk-ins. Man: Oh, a doctor’s work is never done! Zeke! Oh, my gosh! Hey. Good to see you! How are you? Ohh! Ow! What is — is that any way to greet your little brother? What are you doing in port charles?! And why didn’t you tell me that you were coming? Why can’t we go to the pcpd?

[ Chuckling ] No, I only meant that I’ll go. You don’t have to be involved. That’s a joke, right? Not only was I esme’s original target, but I was here when you opened this thing! I’m in it, spencer! Yes, yes, yes. But the police do not have to know that, trina. All I’m saying is that I’ll take care of this. You’re acting shady.

[Chuckling] No, I’m not. Yes, you are. No, I’m not. Yes, you are. Why would you shut me out on this, of all things?! Because if the police ask you where this evidence came from, you’re gonna tell them the truth. Did you mean it? That I’m in love with you? Yes.

[ Chuckles ] You probably noticed that I didn’t say it back. I don’t care. I mean, I care, obviously. Mm. Mm-hmm. But… I didn’t tell you that I love you because I needed a response. I told you because I just — I just wanted you to know how I feel. You don’t have to say anything, joss. I know. But I want to. The only way to ensure this footage can’t be used against sonny is to make sure it doesn’t exist. Mom, this footage is a way for you to stay out of prison without having to testify against dad. That’s just semantics, michael. I won’t have to turn against your father in public, but he’ll be behind bars because of me. And what about josslyn? What about josslyn? Dex works for sonny. Any government investigation lands dex in prison right next to him! You have — you have an issue with that? Josslyn would have an issue with that. If dex goes to prison, josslyn’s gonna be devastated! Look, I-I know that you guys are butting heads right now, but I can’t imagine you want that for your sister.

[ Sighs ] Dex will come out of it okay. How can you say that? He just would. What’s going on, michael? What do you know that I don’t know?


Brook lynn. I’m surprised to see you here. Why? Where’s my drink? Granny. G-grandmother. It is coming right up. Singapore sling. Copy that. Would you like anything? Just for you to come right back. What the hell are you doing? Commissioner! Hi. Detective. Enjoying a rare afternoon off? Yes. Are you? Yeah. Hey. Can I get another, uh, el rey sol and a singapore sling, please? Thanks. You sure you’re okay? Look, I don’t know what your problem is — the problem is, how can you be my eyes and ears at deception if you’re here sunning yourself by the pool? “A,” it’s after 5:00. And, “b,” it’s june. Haven’t you heard of summer? Ohh! Your boss has cut back on office hours in the summertime. They give leeway. And maxie, sasha, and lucy actually care that their employees are happy. What kind of business plan is that? Okay. That’s enough. Why are you so interested in deception? Obviously I’d tell the police the truth. Are you saying you wouldn’t? I think that we should downplay where the evidence came from, yeah. Why? And what would you even say? I don’t know, which is exactly why we can’t go to the cops right now because I need time to think. Okay. This makes no sense. The police are going to be be suspicious of anything that is connected to victor cassadine, including and especially evidence that they themselves failed to uncover during all that time that they were investigating. Trina — I mean, yes, they are going to be a little embarrassed. A little embarrassed?! But that’s no reason to lie about it! Trina, I’m not talking about this right now. Spencer, what is wrong with you? Nothing! Nothing is wrong with me! Obviously you know something I don’T. Trina, the only thing that I know is that involving my uncle in this is going to complicate things significantly. They’re gonna hold this evidence under a microscope.

[ Scoffs ] And?! Wouldn’t they do that anyway?! Okay. What happens when esme’s lawyer, uh, decides to use victor’s crimes to discredit this evidence or get it thrown out entirely? She’s gonna walk. We get one shot at this, trina. If she’s found not guilty, we can’t try her again for the same crime. I don’t buy a word you’re saying. Tell me what you’re keeping from me… or I’m out. I’m not hesitating because I’m unsure of how I feel about you. Just telling someone I love them makes me nervous ’cause I’ve only said that twice. And I really meant it both times, but neither love lasted. With cam, we just outgrew each other. And with oscar… who knows? We — we probably would have, too. You weren’t given the chance to find out. I mean, we both knew that he was dying when we said, “I love you.” That is incredibly brave, to open your heart like that, knowing that there was no future for you two. Yeah. I don’t regret it. What I had with oscar was really special and… sorry. This is so weird that I’m talking about that right now. No, no, I want you to feel like you can tell me anything. That goes both ways. And I know that I shouldn’t let my past come between us. That’s not how I see it. We are both who we are because of our experiences. I am grateful for your past, josslyn. I’m grateful for you. Josslyn told me that dex had a plan, that he wasn’t gonna be working for sonny forever. And I just thought it was wishful thinking, but josslyn was adamant that dex didn’t want to be part of the business. Yeah, mom — and here you are armed with footage of sonny trafficking illegal weapons. And, shockingly, it won’t implicate dex. The night dex was shot, he was found on the quartermaine grounds. He was there to see you. Dex is working for you.

[ Sighs ]


S business. No, but you’re in a good position to find out. You co-parent your daughter, avery, successfully, and you’re on good terms with his fiancée, nina reeves. Alright. This is how that would go. “Heya, sonny. How’s your business?” “What’s it to you, ava? Butt out.” Okay, y-you’re essentially asking ava to hang a target on her own back. We’re only asking her to maintain a rapport with her bestie and baby daddy. The information will come. And somehow I don’t think that would be the end of it. Oh, you’re right. There’s a small task we need now, but then you’ll be perfectly placed to receive your marching orders. I don’t take orders. Not from you, not from anybody. There’s a lot of dangerous “anybodies” in the world. I haven’t seen anything to back up your threats, so how do I know this great and powerful oz isn’t some hillbilly behind a curtain? You don’t know. But austin does. Don’t you, cuz? I’ve had enough of this. A-ava, hold on. Just, um… please just — you need to hear him out. I got tired of you telling me that everything was fine, so I decided to come see for myself.

[ Chuckles ] Portia:

[ Sighs ] I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I wasn’t more forthcoming. But, honestly, I didn’t want to face you. I don’t want you to see the mess I’ve made with my life. Because you’re a fool. Okay, easy. No. I mean, come on. On what planet did you think I would judge you? You’re my sister. I love you. No matter what? No matter what. Unless you switch from 49ers fan to bills fan. Then all bets are off. I actually root for the patriots now. Yeah. Bye. No, I’m kidding!

[ Laughs ] Hey. You better be.

[ Both laugh ] Oh, my goodness. Thank you. Thank you for coming all this way and… for teasing me, making me feel normal again. Everything is normal. Between us anyway. Like, what’s — how are things with trina? They’re improving, I guess. Yeah? Slowly but surely.

[ Sighs ] But I’m determined to give her space, you know, even though the distance is — is killing me. I swear, zeke, the whole thing with spencer and getting caught up in the mess with the cassadines… ah. I’ve never been so terrified in my life. I knew that spencer kid was trouble when I met him at the reception. Yeah, he’s a real vibe, right? That’s one way of putting it. Spencer has caused trina nothing but pain. Then I don’t get it. Like, why is she with him? Well, it’s my fault. No. Come on. Come on. Not fully, but the rift between trina and me certainly didn’t help. As in, it made her turn to spencer? And cling to him even tighter. But now… uh-oh. What are you planning? Yeah, yeah. You are here. Mm-hmm. Trina’s here. Mm-hmm. Maybe you can talk some sense into her. You promised you would never lie to me again! I haven’t! You’re keeping something from me. I want nothing to do with that kind of relationship! I really should have come here alone. Oh, so that it’d be easier to keep me in the dark? No, that’s not what I’m saying! God! I’m bad at this. Okay. Here. Let me lay it out for you. Tell me the truth right now… or I’m gone. I’m not playing with you, spencer! My uncle may have falsified this evidence. “May have falsified.” Probably falsified. In fact, I would be shocked if he didn’t falsify it. Okay. Tell me — tell me why you think that. Because a few months ago, I asked him for help getting custody of ace. What kind of help? He implied that he was going to kill esme. And I said no because I want esme out of ace’s life, not dead. That’s insane. Uh — so, what he suggested or, rather, said… was that he was going to “find” new evidence. So all this evidence is definitely fake. Most likely, yeah.

[ Scoffs ] Which is why — hey. Which is why I need to be the one who brings it in. Spencer! You are not bringing this “evidence” anywhere! Yes. Yes, dex is my mole in sonny’s organization. How long? From the beginning. I planted him. So dex is only working for sonny — to gather evidence against him. Dex, he’s not — he’s not a criminal. He’s ex-military. Oh, my god. I hired him from a private security company.

[ Sighs ] Does josslyn know? Well, not at first. When they first met, josslyn just thought he was one of sonny’s guys. I told him to stay away from her. He’s a great listener. Yeah. You know your sister. She’s not gonna give up on something. Yeah, then at some point, without consulting me, he told josslyn the truth. Does she know about the footage? Yeah. That’s what we were arguing about at the hospital. Josslyn helped me realize that this footage will give you the best deal with the feds.

[ Scoffs ] No!Mom, the most important thing is keeping you out of prison. Listen to me! I will not sacrifice your father to save myself! Then do it to save your family.


I’m fine. Are you sure? Just decompressing. That’s all. Yeah, so was I — until brook lynn’s grandmother showed up. You know, you never did come out and tell me why you want me working at deception. Yes, I did. I want information on the patent for the deceptor. That’s it? And everything else you know about the new product line coming out. There’s a new product line? Cool! Oh. [ Scoffs ] You’re utterly useless!

[ Scoffs ] We know that esme is guilty. She filmed that video of joss and cam. She framed you. She nearly killed that oz guy. Does it really matter how she’s brought to justice, trina? Hold on. Let me think about it. Yes! If you really feel that way, then go. I mean it. I mean it. You forget everything that you saw here. I’ll be the one to take this on. Okay? You people have no idea the strides that sonny and I have made to be able to co-parent our daughter successfully! And I’m not gonna blow that just to help with whatever grand ambitions your cousin and his puppet master have in mind! You get her under control. Okay — hey! Excuse me! Okay! Just like — let’s take a second, alright? Ava, please, I just need you to just hear him out. That’s all. Why? You just said it yourself — that — that crossing sonny could put me at risk. Yeah, but you’re more at risk if you don’t do what they’re asking. Please. I’m — I’m just trying to help you out. You got to trust me on this one. I’m looking out for you. Okay, so, you said that you have something that we both need to do. So far, it sounds like it’s only me. Austin’s job is to keep you on task.

[ Chuckles ] Lucky you. Oh. Even if I were to agree, you have no idea the history between sonny and me. We know all about it. It’s a tall order. I know. But we have faith in you. Start by cultivating a greater role in his life. To what end? Let’s just take it step-by-step, shall we? Get him to confide in you. He won’T. Then you make him… and bring back anything you hear about his association with a company named pikeman.

[ Sighs ] Oh, my god. Have you seen my shoe? Got it. Oh. Great. Thank you. You know, I did offer to leave town with you. Yeah, I remember. The fact that you were willing to do that… and I still would. If it was our only option. Look, joss, we’ve talked about this. I know. I don’t want you to have to leave your family and your friends and your career. I know. And I don’t want that either. But I would. If it meant being with you. We have been through a lot together, huh? More than most couples in their entire life. Who are you? What? What’s your name? You know mine. What’s yours? Dex: Dex heller. Who’s the hottie?

Time flies by in a moment with you are you gonna help me or not?

Every second you’re near oh! Jossly n:Sonny wrecks people… and I don’t want you to be one of those people. You know me, can’t help but get involved. Yeah, well… it’s nice to know that there’s still decent people in the world. Never really got the chance to thank you for rescuing me, did I? Oh, my god. You’re bleeding. I don’t want you involved in this, joss. It’s a little late for that. I know it’s too late, and I-I know I messed up, but the less you know, the better.

I can’t help falling in ’cause every time we laugh, every time we cry every time I look in your eyes I’ve seen you in action, I know you’re tough in a crisis, but it is okay to be scared. I’m fine. No, you’re not. Okay? And that is okay. Just let go, joss. If there’s anywhere you’re safe, it’s with me. You are the wish that fell from the stars here. When my tears were like coins in a well you know… if I want you to take your clothes off, you’ll know. Yeah? How so? Finally, I can tell and all I ever wanted to feel is rushing through me right now ’cause I am lost in the moment josslyn: What are you thinking? How much I like waking up next to you. And I can’t help falling in I don’t want to ask for too much too soon, but… my feelings for you are not casual at all. I’ve never felt like this before. All over again and I don’t want it to stop. Look. I don’t want anything to come between us. Not sonny. Not the feds. Not my own fears. Dex… yes? I love you.


Pikeman? What kind of business is that? No more questions. If you need to know more, I’ll tell you. Just keep your ears open. Anything you hear, report it to austin. Austin will contact me. And I know that austin will keep you on task for both your sakes. And, ava, I know you think I’m, like, an ignorant hayseed, but remember I know a lot of things many people don’t, like where nikolas cassadine really is. And his mother, the pcpd, and his son would be very interested to hear from me. You’ve made your point. Yeah, I really think it’s time for — yeah. Sure. I would hate to outstay my welcome. One thing. If either of you is thinking of doling out the same fate that befell ava’s husband, I’m not the one in charge. So, as austin well knows, you disappear me, you’ll end up with much more heat than you could ever handle.

[ Door opens ] Yes, I will help you with trina in any way I can. Oh, good! [ Laughs ] We can talk about it when we get home, okay? Cool. Cool. And I’m staying at the metro court, by the way. No. No, no. You’re not. Yes. Yes. No! Zeke! Yes, I am. No, no, no, no. Y-you got enough on your plate, and I’m doing some business down in port charles with no end date. I don’t want to overstay my welcome. First off, that’s impossible. And, second, you have a client in new york? Yeah. Random, I know. So exciting! But, yes. When I heard where he was located, I got excited and I jumped on it. Any excuse to see you and trina. Aww. Starting tonight, hopefully. Will the two of you join me for dinner? Sorry to interrupt, dr. Robinson. Your next patient is waiting in the exam room. Oh. Thank you. Ohh. Ah. I should have known better than to try and surprise a doctor. Um, how about lunch tomorrow? Perfect. Okay. And maybe you can tell trina that I’m in town. You’re playing peacemaker already. I’m so grateful. Annoyed? No! I’m grateful. Okay. Okay. Good. And bottom line — neither you nor trina will be happy until the relationship gets repaired. It feels so good to have someone on my side. Always. Come on. Aww. I got you, sis. Spencer, I just — I-I can’t just unsee this. Sure you can. Just hear me out. I know how tempting it is to use this evidence. I really do. We don’t know for sure that the evidence is fake. I don’t want esme raising ace, either. But this isn’t the way. I-it’s just wrong! Oh, and also illegal. If the cops discover that any of this evidence isn’t legit… you’re the one that’s going to go to prison. Then what’s gonna happen to ace? Right. Right. Yeah. Yeah, you’re right. That’s gonna be happening a lot, fyi. Okay. Noted. So we agree that… we’re going to destroy all this evidence? Yes. Yes, yes. Of course.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Breathes sharply ] I forgot I have to meet my dad for dinner. Taggert. I knew what you meant. I don’t think I’m ready to call curtis “dad” yet. What? You said “yet.” Does that mean… maybe someday? Mom, you’re the glue that holds this family together! Michael — what about donna? Donna — it’s gonna kill me to be away from her, but she will be okay. Without her mother? She’ll have sonny! Come on. You and I both know that’s not the same thing. And then there’s wiley. There’s amelia. They need their grandmother. I mean, josslyn needs you.

I need you. You’re not playing fair, michael. Maybe not. Maybe not. But everything I’m saying is true. Mom, for all of our sakes, just please give this footage to the us attorney’s office.


I’m taking things with curtis one step at a time. I think that’s a good plan. It helps that my dad is so supportive. You want to know what else I think? What? I think that everything is going to work out. You know what? I’m starting to believe so, too. Get out of here. Excuse me? I’ll, uh, get rid of the evidence and give the key back to the bank.

[ Sighs ] Okay. I’ll see you later? Oh, definitely.

[ Chuckles ] Were you just going along with mason to get him to leave? Ava. Do you really think that I would entertain… please, I am begging you — …spying on sonny corinthos for that cretin? Don’t push mason. Okay? He’s a very dangerous guy. I’ve dealt with a lot worse than him. Yeah, but he’s just the messenger. He’s not the person in charge. Clearly you know who is. I just — I think it would be better, you know, if — if we just dealt with mason on this one. Just — just —

[ Chuckles ] I want to know. Tell me. Who is this big bad boss calling the shots? Ava, stop. Stop. Stop! Sorry. Ava, I’m — I’m serious. You already know too much.

[ Door closes ] Just in case.

[ Brook lynn sighs ] Brook lynn, we have been over this. Yes, you’ve told me you want me working at deception. What you haven’t told me is why. It’s clearly not because you have an interest in makeup or fashion, for that matter. I’m not gonna dignify that with a response. -Of course you’re not. -One singapore sling. What she means to say is “thank you.” I hope you’re off duty. Oh. I am. Chase actually caught those guys who broke into logan’s today. That’s nice. Would you get me some pté? Oh, uh, they actually only serve that in the main dining room. And? Oh. Okay. Uh…bye. Man: Is this seat taken? It’s all yours. And for the record… I won’t be very good company. Think I’ll take my chances. You don’t have to say it just because I did. I know. But it’s true. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you, too.

[ Chuckles ] I want you in my life. I’m here. We need to keep it that way. We will. How? I don’t know. But we’ll figure it out together. Okay. Together. If I take that flash drive to the us attorney, which proves that sonny violated the national security act, he will go to federal prison for the rest of his life. Then what? What happens here in port charles? What happens to sonny’s territory? There is no jason to step in. I certainly can’t do it. Is there anyone else in sonny’s organization who can take over? No. No. So it leaves a vacuum, michael, and other players will rush in — the wu’s and everyone else — and they’re all gonna want to prove that sonny’s finished, that he no longer has power, including power to protect his family. If sonny goes to prison, we all become targets, especially me because I know most about the business. You’re making a lot of assumptions here. Oh, my god! Michael! This is exactly what happened two years ago when sonny disappeared! Jason and I risked our lives to keep the organization together! And if we hadn’t done that, someone else would have taken over and they would have killed us. Look at me! Every single one of us! With sonny in prison, we’re all vulnerable, and I’m not gonna let that happen. Yeah, mom. I don’t see it that way. I see this as your best chance to stay out of prison, to save yourself! You want your father to go to prison?

[ Stammers ] Do you?!

[ Voice breaking ] I know he has disappointed you, michael. He’s disappointed me. So badly. But destroying him isn’t gonna heal us. And someone will die!

[ Sighing ] In case you change your mind. It’s encrypted, so it’s — keep it’s safe. It’s your choice what you want to do with it. And I’ll respect whatever decision you make. I love you. I love you.

[ Door opens and closes ]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Taylor: A back-stabbing traitor, me? Listen to me, brooke–

Brooke: You betrayed me. All this time, you pretended you wanted to be friends and bury the past.

Taylor: I did.

Brooke: All this time you were really just manipulating me. You were biding your time, waiting ’til I fully trusted you, just to stab me in the back. How could you? Really, how could you be so deceitful? Setting me up with deacon so that you– you could be with ridge.

Hollis: Alec just called, he’s not gonna be able to make his shift. His wife’s in labor. What do you want to do? Boss?

Deacon: What? What? Huh?

Hollis: I just said we’re down a waiter and you didn’t hear a word I said. What’s going on with you?

Deacon: I think I might have started something.

Ridge: Through all these years, you still haven’t lost your touch. These are amazing.

Eric: Thank you, my boy. I appreciate that. But that’s not the only reason I asked you in here. Like how are things with– with brooke and taylor? How’s that going?

Eric: You know how much I love having you staying at the house with me. You know that. I’m enjoying that.

Ridge: I’m enjoying it also.

Eric: Yeah, but I’m thinking that maybe it’s almost time for you to move on with your life–

Ridge: We had this conversation. It’s not all up to me–

Eric: I know. It’s all about this thing between brooke and taylor. I understand. So, what’s going on with that? Has anything changed?

Taylor: I think about

falling asleep in your arms

and waking up next to you.

I just miss the little things,

the simple things.

I miss you.

Ridge: Actually…

Eric: Act– actually what?

Ridge: One of the ladies came out and told me how she really feels.

Eric: Brooke.

Ridge: So close, taylor.

Hollis: You think you started something?

Deacon: Yeah, brooke was in here before.

Hollis: Yeah, I saw her head out.

Deacon: After I told her how I felt about her, again. I asked her if there was a chance that we could have a life together.

Hollis: Well– well what did she say?

Deacon: Don’t worry. She shot me down, nicely.

Hollis: Join the club.

Deacon: We’re getting t-shirts made.

Hollis: We should.

Deacon: I just don’t know why, I don’t know why I listened to her.

Hollis: To brooke?

Deacon: No, to taylor.

Taylor: There was a build-up of things that happened, brooke. And if you would hear me out, you would understand. Exactly why I—

Brooke: No, no, no no! Stop it! I don’t want to hear your excuse.

Taylor: Of course you don’T.

Brooke: I heard what you said to ridge. Damn it, taylor. God, I thought we were on a new path. I thought we were doing something different. Showing our children that rivalries can be overcome and something beautiful and wonderful and fulfilling can come out of that. Like our friendship. But obviously, I was wrong. You didn’t put any of that past you. All you were doing was biding your time, waiting for a chance to make a move on ridge.

Taylor: Oh, my god. Just admit it already. Admit it that you sent deacon in my direction so that it would clear your path to ridge.

Taylor: Hold on a second. Just– just, ho– [ Grunts ] Because you’ve been so honest and so transparent, right? Okay, I’ll do the same. You know what I simply, uh, pointed out that you and deacon share a history together. Something that maybe the two of you could consider.

Brooke: Oh, god, right. I don’t believe for a second that you were looking out for my best interest. You went to ridge behind my back. You went to him and you poured your heart out to win him back. You set me up with deacon so that it would clear your way to ridge. Hey! It’s your dry skin.

Eric: Taylor came to you. You didn’t encourage her in any way, did you?

Ridge: No, no, no, dad. I didn’t encourage her. They– they… said that their friendship was a priority and i wasn’t gonna interfere with that. Then taylor came to me out of the blue.

Eric: What exactly did she say to you?

Ridge: What didn’t she say? She– she said she misses our family and– and how proud she is of thomas and steffy. And she may have pitched the idea of her going to rome with us.

Eric: So she wants you back?

Hollis: Taylor? What does she have to do with this?

Deacon: Everything. I– look, a little while back, brooke and taylor, they’re in here. So, you know, I go over to the table and I start chit-chatting with them. You know, I’m being my usual devastatingly charming self. And taylor is just like watching me and brooke. You know, the easy way that we relate to each other, bonding over hope, but it wasn’t until brooke left that taylor started talking.

Hollis: About what?

Deacon: Just, you know, the– the bond that brooke and I have, hope, you know, our past love, how it’s always gonna connect us. I didn’t get it at first either. I didn’t get it at first until taylor said that I should go for brooke.

Taylor: Okay. Um, are you just gonna keep talking and talking or are you going to hear me out?

Brooke: Why should I? So you can justify what you’ve done?

Taylor: What I did, I did because… oh my god, I– I was– I was just trying to help.

Brooke: Help? Who, me, you or deacon? Because, you know, I spoke with him.

Taylor: Yes, I know that you spoke with him and… you– you misunderstood what I said to deacon.

Brooke: No, your intentions were crystal clear.

Taylor: I’m telling you, brooke, um, it’s not what you think, okay? Look… I value you.

Brooke: Mm-hmm.

Taylor: And our friendship.

[ Brooke laughs ]

Brooke: That’s funny.

Taylor: Is it– is it funny? I– I– I, I would never do anything to intentionally jeopardize that.

Brooke: Yeah.

Taylor: I felt very hurt and very ruffled, I guess, whenever you– uh, you– you didn’t tell me about your concerns for your daughter. And you were making my son the villain in your story, still.

Brooke: What are you talking about? That had nothing to do with ridge–

Taylor: Oh no, wait for it. Because… see, I– I kept thinking if– if brooke is not being honest and transparent with me about this, what else is she hiding from me? And that has everything to do with ridge?

Brooke: Oh, wow. Okay. Um, this is crazy. I valued our friendship, taylor, but what you did, how you went to hollis to come after me and then you sent deacon in my direction. I mean, how– how? Oh, I don’t know how foolish I was to even listen to you.

Taylor: I was just trying to help. That’s all I was trying to do.

Brooke: You weren’t trying to help.

Taylor: Well–

Brooke: You were actually just trying to help yourself. You see, I let my guard down and I trusted you 100% and you took advantage of that. So, I don’t know why I actually trusted you. I mean, I never thought that my B.F.F. Would do something like this to hurt me and deceive me this way, but that is exactly what you did, taylor.

Taylor: Okay.

Brooke: No and it’s–

Taylor: Okay. All right, you’re– you’re gonna do this. All right. No, it’s– that’s not how it happened.

Brooke: I’ve been hurt by people before in the past. People that I trusted, but nothing felt quite like this. I thought that we were doing something different. I really did. I thought that we had a pact. We chose ourselves and we wanted to do better for our children, for our lives and I never ever imagined for one second that you would take our friendship and just toss it aside like it was garbage! My a1c was up here; now, it’s down with rybelsus.

Hollis: Taylor made her pitch and you– and you ran with it?

Deacon: I mean, you know, not at first. You know, deacon sharpe wasn’t born yesterday. I could see what she was up to.

Hollis: Yeah, but you still went along with it.

Deacon: I– I just, you know, I talked to brooke, I laid it out. Suffice it to say that we won’t be riding off into the sunset anytime soon.

Hollis: Sorry, boss.

Deacon: Thanks. I appreciate that.

Hollis: Me too.

Deacon: You know, but look, we will always be hope’s parents and brooke will always be in my life.

Hollis: Yeah. But you gotta wonder though, what got into taylor? I mean, first, she pushed me off onto brooke and now she’s pushing you onto brooke. But what’s that about?

Deacon: Oh, I’d say that’s easy. She wants ridge all to herself.

Eric: Son, you know how I feel about taylor. She’s given you beautiful children and a family of which you’re both very, very proud. But–

Ridge: Here it comes.

Eric: Taylor is not the love of your life, ridge. The love of your life is brooke logan and she always will be.

Brooke: Oh, god, taylor. Look, just– just be honest with me, okay? Just tell me, you want ridge. Just stop pretending for god’s sakes that you don’t, okay?

Taylor: Okay. Um, yeah, I– I want ridge. I do. You’re right. We deserve each other.

Brooke: And he and I don’t?

Taylor: You know, brooke, I– I– I don’t think you’re right for ridge, you know? I don’t think he’s right for you either. The two of you have caused each other so much pain over the years, you know. I don’t think you’re good for him. And, you know, I don’t think you ever have been.

Brooke: I honestly can’t believe this right now. I– I can’t believe this. I mean, I can’t believe those words are coming out of your mouth. We’re like– we’re right back where we started, taylor.

Taylor: You know what? Things are different now. They really arE. You, um, you have a chance at a life with someone other than ridge, remember?

Brooke: Who? Who? Hollis? The first guy that you tried to set me up with? Obviously, you had ulterior motives then too.

Taylor: Oh, god, hollis was just fun, brooke. You know that. Not to mention young, very attractive, and sexy. Those are your words. Now, when it comes to deacon, you guys, you have a history. You have hope.

Brooke: I don’t need a dating service.

Taylor: Yeah, maybe not. I was just– I was just trying to be a friend.

Brooke: Well, why don’t you just stop trying to sugarcoat things? You broke our pact, you destroyed our friendship… all because you want to be with ridge. (Buzz) are you guys telling secrets?

Ridge: All right. It’s time for me to get going. Got a press event I got put together, a preview. I’m going to rome. I don’t know if I told you–

Eric: Oh, yes. Yeah. Well. Keep me in the loop, will you? I’ve done rome a few times.

Ridge: Oh? I’m gonna stay in here and work. It’s quieter in here. You know, there’s too many people in my office all the time. And you, you and steffy behind my desk are one thing but katie and carter and– and hope and zende. If I ever catch charlie behind my desk, I’m gonna shoot him with his own water pistol. Anyway, I’m gonna be in here, all right? You need any help, here’s where I’ll be.

Ridge: I always need your help. That’s something you gotta remember. You are forrester creations. Everyone loves you, respects you. No one more than me.

Eric: Thanks for that. And thanks for being the son I can always be proud of. I don’t tell you that enough.

Ridge: You do, every day, in 100 different ways.

Eric: Come here.

Ridge: I love you.

Eric: I love you too, buddy. One of the only things I still want in this life is your happiness. And I think the one person who can bring that to you and to really fulfill your life, that’s brooke.

Deacon: I don’t know, hollis. Taylor says she’s acting in good faith. I mean…

Hollis: What? By pushing me and then you to brooke so that taylor could have a clear shot at ridge?

Deacon: I’m not even sure she was looking at it like that. I mean, do you really think taylor’s capable of being that calculating?

Hollis: I don’t know. I don’t know the lady that well.

Deacon: You know, come to think of it, neither do I. I mean, not really. The one thing that’s clear is that she’s hung up on her ex.

Hollis: Just like brooke.

Deacon: Yeah, they’ve got that in common. I mean, they’re more alike than they realize or want to admit. Unfortunately, now that brooke knows what taylor did, their friendship’s about to blow up.

Brooke: You think that I’m all wrong for ridge, but what about you? What about your behavior? What about thomas’s behavior?

Taylor: My behavior. Thomas’s behavioR. You mean when I was in a wedding gown? When ridge and I were almost married?

Brooke: Under false pretences. You could have gone to ridge and told him the truth, but you didn’t because you knew what it would cost you.

Taylor: You know, it was much more complicated than that.

Brooke: It was complicated for you because you knew what you stood to lose.

Taylor: Oh, my god.

Brooke: You said ridge was all yours and only yours. I mean, my god, taylor, how sanctimonious is that? But you know what? That is team taylor, and I know what you think about me. I know what you think about my daughter. We are just the logan girls, just sluts from the valley.

Taylor: Those were stephanie’s words about you.

Brooke: Yeah, well, you feel the same way.

Taylor: You have had chance after chance with ridge over the years and each time you have let him down. He deserves to be with someone who’s not gonna upend his world every chance she gets. I mean, come on, the list of men goes on and on.

Brooke: Enough, taylor.

Taylor: No, only it was never enough, was it? Not for you. Really wasn’T. You know, come to think of it, you– you had a child with deacon while he was married to your daughter. Your daughter, brooke! That’s disgusting. Who– who does that? You don’t have any love inside of you. How could you possibly give it to ridge?

Brooke: We had an agreement. Do you know that?

Taylor: Uh, yeah, I do. Do you?

Brooke: We had a solemn vow.

Taylor: Yes, we did.

Brooke: And I trusted you, taylor, I trusted you and you just stabbed me in the back. You broke our friendship all because you wanted to get to ridge.

Taylor: Oh, my god.

Brooke: How dare you? How dare you? You know what? I am gonna go to ridge and I’m gonna tell him exactly what you’ve done and tell him the kind of person that you really are. Everything about saint taylor.

Taylor: Uh, stop it, grow up, brooke. Grow up, stop it. Stay here and talk to me.

Brooke: Don’t lay your hands on me.

Taylor: Don’t lay your hands on me either.

Ridge: Hey, hey, easy, easy. What’s going on here? All right. All right.

Taylor: She’s being dramatic.

Brooke: She– she stabbed in the back, ridge.

Ridge: What?

Taylor: I did not stab you in the back.

Brooke: Yes, you did. You played me for a fool.

Taylor: Okay.

Brooke: You didn’t want to be friends with me, taylor. Not at all. You just used me. You used me to get to him. That’s what she wanted ridge. So, you know what? Our little pact is over.

Freeform Announces New Cast for the Highly Anticipated ‘Cruel Summer’ Season Two

— Sadie Stanley, Griffin Gluck and Newcomer Eloise Payet Set To Lead Ensemble Cast —

Freeform’s “Cruel Summer” returns as an anthology with a fresh mystery and cast when its highly anticipated second season premieres later this year. Executive produced by Emmy® Award nominee Jessica Biel and Michelle Purple (“The Sinner,” “Candy”) through Iron Ocean Productions and from studio eOne, the first season of “Cruel Summer” was a critical and ratings smash, making it Freeform’s most-watched series in network history.

Set in an idyllic waterfront town in the Pacific Northwest, the next chapter of “Cruel Summer” follows the rise and fall of an intense teenage friendship. Approaching the story from three different timelines surrounding Y2K, the season twists and turns as it tracks the early friendship between Megan, Isabella and Megan’s best friend Luke, the love triangle that blossomed, and the mystery that would impact all of their lives going forward.

Sadie Stanley (“The Goldbergs”) will star as Megan Landry, a computer coder and honor student from a blue-collar family. Once Megan meets Isabella, she begins to live in the moment and embrace her true self. When events take a tragic turn, her long-held dreams are dashed, and she is left wondering who she can trust.

Eloise Payet portrays the alluring and enigmatic Isabella, the daughter of foreign diplomats, who is spending a year as an exchange student with the Landry family. She quickly shakes up life in this small town, but her charm can’t hide the truth about her past or the real reason she came to live with the Landrys forever.

Griffin Gluck (“Locke & Key”) plays Luke Chambers, Megan’s lifelong best friend from a prominent family. Over time, Luke finds himself at a crossroads as he tries to establish his own place in the world, separate from the expectations of his powerful father.

KaDee Strickland (“Private Practice”) stars as Debbie, Megan’s hardworking single mom who thinks hosting Isabella will open Megan’s eyes to a bigger world than their small town. Lisa Yamada (“Little Fires Everywhere”) is Parker, a popular musician who becomes more cynical as the world takes a dark turn around her. Sean Blakemore (“Greenleaf”) will play Sheriff Myer, an old-fashioned law-and-order type, under pressure to solve the first major crime in Chatham. Paul Adelstein (“True Story”) will recur as Steve Chambers, Luke’s high-profile dad, whose influence in town is far-reaching.

“Cruel Summer” comes from studio eOne and was created by Bert V. Royal. Elle Triedman serves as showrunner. Executive producers include Triedman, Bill Purple, Tia Napolitano, and Iron Ocean Productions’ Jessica Biel and Michelle Purple. The series is distributed internationally by eOne.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Steve returns home from Greece while on the phone with Hope. Steve asks about Bo and the new rehab facility. Steve tells Hope that if she needs anything, to just let him know and he’ll take care of it. Steve tells her not to worry about Megan Hathaway because there’s no way she’s going to find her. Steve says he and Kayla are praying for Bo and are there in spirit. Steve says they’ll talk soon as they hang up. Steve then answers his door to see Harris Michaels has arrived.

Megan joins Kristen in the living room of the DiMera Mansion. Megan pours a drink as Kristen talks about taking the edge off. Stefan and Gabi walk in. Stefan says he’d love a celebratory drink. Megan and Kristen question what this is all about as Gabi shuts the doors and says they’d prefer the servants don’t overhear. Stefan then announces they are plotting the demise of EJ.

Nicole joins EJ in his bedroom. They kiss and say they missed each other. EJ says he just got back awhile ago and he looked all over for her but he couldn’t find her, so he questions where she has been. Nicole reveals that she left the office early to go to the hospital. EJ asks if everything is alright.

At the Brady Pub, Eric informs Marlena that Nicole is pregnant and the baby could be his. Eric adds that Nicole is at the hospital now, getting a paternity test so they are going to find out if he’s the father.

Nicole tells EJ that everything is alright. EJ asks why she was at the hospital. Nicole reveals that she was giving Kayla a blood sample. EJ assumes it’s because of her menopause treatment but Nicole admits that she’s not entering menopause. EJ doesn’t understand how Kayla could make such an error. Nicole reveals that she lied to EJ. Nicole then announces that she missed her period, not because of menopause, but because she’s pregnant.

Steve questions what Harris is doing there. Harris asks if he can come in, which Steve reluctantly allows. Steve tells Harris that he can save the explanation because Shawn already told him that Harris was following them to Salem to keep an eye on Megan, but there are a lot of people already doing that job including he and John, who are private investigators, qualified to keep an eye on people. Steve tells Harris that his help is not needed here and he’d just be one more person that he doesn’t trust to keep an eye on. Steve declares that if Harris really wants to help, he’ll turn around and leave Salem.

Megan questions Stefan proposing the demise of EJ. Stefan clarifies that it’s not literal but more of a consequential fall from grace. Kristen guesses they need their help to oust EJ from DiMera Enterprises. Megan asks what’s in it for them. Gabi responds that they will both play major, noteworthy roles in the company’s future. Gabi says they have ideas to share and hands them each a paper.

Marlena tells Eric that now it all makes sense why Nicole lied about their being a viral outbreak in the hospital as the cheek swabs were not for the virus, but to help determine paternity. Eric agrees that sums it up. Marlena asks how Sloan found out. Eric informs her that Sloan saw Nicole’s pre natal vitamins at the hospital and then Nicole begged Sloan not to tell anyone. Eric adds that Sloan agreed to help Nicole find out the paternity. Marlena questions if Nicole was ever going to tell him the truth. Eric explains that Nicole was hoping to get the results of the paternity test before saying anything to he or EJ. Marlena is surprised to learn that EJ didn’t know Nicole was pregnant either.

EJ is shocked to learn that Nicole is pregnant and says he doesn’t understand why she wouldn’t tell him, but then EJ stops and guesses the baby is not his.

Harris acknowledges that Steve has every reason not to trust him and that’s why he was his first stop in Salem which Steve calls an interesting choice. Harris tells Steve that he respects him but says he’s not going anywhere and thinks he can be a help here. Harris brings up that he’s from Salem and went to high school here, so it’s the closest thing he has to home. Harris adds that they are on the same side but they don’t have to be friends. Harris asks if they can put aside their differences to work together to make sure Megan doesn’t hurt Hope again. Harris offers a handshake to Steve.

Stefan explains that once they vote EJ out, Megan and Kristen will both take on very prominent roles with the company. Kristen calls the details vague as Gabi says they want them to be free to do what they want in the company. Megan worries that the 30 year gap in her resume might make the board think it’s nepotism. Gabi and Stefan call them both miracle workers that have brought people back from the dead. Megan asks if it’s not just because they need their votes. Stefan admits there is that but puts over their determination and ruthlessness. Kristen asks if they just want them to do the dirty work, but Gabi says that’s not what they are saying at all. Stefan encourages them to read the proposal and see what happens. Megan agrees to take it under advisement. Stefan says they will see them later as he and Gabi exit the room. Kristen asks what Megan makes of this. Megan takes the proposal and tosses it in to the fireplace, asking Kristen if she has a match.

EJ asks Nicole if her baby is his. Nicole admits that she does not know. EJ says that’s because it might be Eric’s. EJ goes over how Nicole didn’t tell him about sleeping with Eric, then apologized and swore she would never lie to him again, only to go to great lengths to not tell him that she’s pregnant. Nicole apologizes and says she would’ve told him sooner, but she couldn’t get a paternity test until she was 7 weeks along and she didn’t want him to hear the news like this. EJ questions why he is hearing it now then. Nicole reveals it’s because Eric found out.

Eric tells Marlena that Sloan is hoping the baby isn’t his since they are in a relationship. Marlena asks how Eric feels about all of this. Eric calls it so sudden, that he hasn’t had time to process it. Eric adds that they don’t even know if the baby is his, if Nicole can carry the baby to term, or how EJ will react to finding out if he’s not the father. Eric calls the situation complicated. Marlena states that they know how EJ would react, but points out that Eric didn’t answer her question. Marlena asks Eric again how he feels about the idea of Nicole carrying his child. Eric admits that part of him is hoping the baby is his.

Before Steve can answer Harris, Kayla comes home. Kayla greets him and notes that he didn’t tell her that he was coming home as he hugs her. Steve says he wanted to surprise her. Steve informs Kayla that Harris was just telling him that he is moving back to Salem and wants to help keep an eye on Megan Hathaway, but he told him that they have enough cops, detectives, and spies in the family. Kayla responds that she thinks they could use all the help they could get.

Eric tells Marlena that it feels wrong saying he wants the baby to be his. Marlena feels there’s no right or wrong as this is about his feelings and he has to respect those, especially after what happened with Jada. Eric feels he shouldn’t be thinking it and says the last thing Sloan needs to hear after everything with her brother is that he’s having a baby with another woman. Marlena points out that it’s not just another woman, but a woman that he still has some feelings for.

EJ can’t believe he didn’t realize what was going on sooner. EJ says that’s why Nicole didn’t drink champagne, why she said his proposal didn’t feel like the right timing, and why she couldn’t say she loved him. Nicole cries that she felt guilty for not telling him the truth while EJ argues that she might be carrying another man’s baby. EJ states that Nicole wants to keep her options open because she wouldn’t want to be with him if Eric is the father, asking if she would want Eric back.

Stefan massages Gabi’s feet in their bedroom. Stefan talks about how they have to come up with something for Megan and Kristen to do that keeps them feeling useful but also keeps them out of their way. Gabi feels that Megan is lukewarm about the proposal and will be tough to crack. Gabi says that Kristen is too focused on getting her family back together while Megan is too obsessed with someone that’s in a coma to run things. Stefan talks about how the board would question Megan just walking in to run things while encouraging that Gabi will be the best CEO. Stefan declares that they have the backing of management so there is no way in hell that Megan will be running anything. Gabi worries about Megan having an ego and wanting world domination.

Megan asks Kristen if she really thinks they are going to put their leverage behind measly jobs at Gabi Chic which she calls a waste of considerable talent. Kristen agrees that they should be running DiMera, not their baby brothers and certainly not Gabi. Megan states that her ambitions extend far beyond running DiMera. Megan declares that she deserves so much more. Kristen asks her to be more specific. Megan states that Stefan was a grand puppet master and the whole world feared him. Megan says all of his other offspring have had their shot at emulating him, so now it’s her turn. Kristen questions Megan wanting to be her father’s daughter. Megan responds that she is her father’s daughter. Megan declares that just like the Phoenix, Megan DiMera is rising again.

Stefan tells Gabi that Megan doesn’t hold a candle to her as they kiss. They talk about how they can’t wait to get married and how lucky they are. Stefan encourages that they can have it all as Salem’s power couple. Stefan declares they are unstoppable as a team as they continue kissing in bed.

Kristen asks if Megan is aspiring to take over the world. Megan feels she’s not being delusional as she is dead serious. Megan says she will start with Salem. Kristen calls that a very expensive undertaking and she doesn’t hold the purse strings to DiMera like Stefano did. Megan responds that she won’t be needing DiMera money because she has another plan.

Kayla tells Steve about Abe missing and the psychopath that attacked him has escaped police custody and is out there somewhere, impersonating a cop. Steve asks if Colin took Abe. Kayla says that’s the theory as they have nothing else to go on. Steve asks what he can do to help. Kayla thinks they need more man power as Jada is being pulled in all different directions because her sister was arrested for being in cahoots with Colin. Kayla says that Abe is relatively stable, but he had a serious head injury so she worries he won’t get the care he needs. Steve encourages Kayla to eat but Kayla says she just came to pick up a few things as she needs to get back to the hospital to brief the board. Kayla gets a text that the test results that she’s been waiting on are in. Steve asks if she’s okay. Kayla responds that she will be now that he’s back and kisses him.

Eric tells Marlena that he told Sloan that he loves her. Marlena feels he wouldn’t say it if he didn’t mean it. Eric assures that he did mean it in the moment. Marlena suggests maybe he didn’t mean an undying kind of love. Marlena talks about knowing how much Eric wants a family and encourages that he’ll be a spectacular father. Marlena asks if Eric wants to raise the baby with Nicole, while she’s still with EJ, or if he’s thinking the two of them could reunite and raise the baby together.

Nicole tells EJ that this is not about her wanting to go back to Eric or keeping her options open. EJ questions what it is about then. Nicole responds that she was desperately hoping to tell him that they were having a baby together, so he wouldn’t have to deal with the uncertainty and anxiety that has consumed her for the last few weeks, especially since there’s a good chance she won’t be able to carry the pregnancy to term. EJ asks if she’s spoken to a doctor yet and encourages that there have been medical advances since she was last pregnant. Nicole says she hasn’t made an appointment with a specialist because she’s been taking everything one step at a time. EJ asks how Eric found out. Nicole explains that Sloan told him as she found out by accident. EJ then questions who else knew before he did. Nicole admits that she confided in Anna, who accidentally told Tony. EJ complains that he feels like such a fool. Nicole argues that it was only going to be one more day because she had the test run and they will find out soon. EJ asks how that’s possible without a sample from he and Eric. Nicole informs him that they only needed one of them and admits that she was going to swab his cheek while he was sleeping but he went out of town, so Sloan got one from Eric. Nicole then gets a call from Kayla, who informs her that she has her test results.

Stefan and Gabi lay in bed together. Gabi says she wants to be in bed with him all day on their honeymoon. Stefan asks how long it will take to plan the wedding of her dreams because he’s already waited four years. Gabi asks if he thinks they could afford to get away from DiMera right now. Stefan admits that taking over DiMera is important to him, but marrying her is everything and most important. Gabi points out that they don’t even have the divorce decree yet. Stefan encourages that could happen any day now, but questions why he feels like Gabi is looking for reasons to put off the wedding.

Kristen asks Megan what her get rich quick scheme is. Megan responds that she will find out soon enough. Kristen asks if she doesn’t trust her. Megan says that Kristen will have all the details when the time is right, but she wants to make sure everything is in place first for when Bo regains consciousness. Megan states that Stefano called Marlena his queen of the night and now Bo will be her’s. Kristen stops her and questions what her role is in all of this. Megan assures that it will be a vital one. Megan argues that they both know that Kristen won’t have the time to dedicate to this project like she does due to having a young child, but insists that she very much needs her as she is paramount to all of this. Kristen declares that she will not be sidelined and she’s going to want something from Megan in return.

Nicole asks Kayla if they can meet now. Kayla says she will see her at the hospital. EJ questions not giving the results over the phone. Nicole asks EJ to come with her to hear the results when she does. Nicole says she’s been agonizing over this for weeks and now that EJ finally knows, she hoped they could go through it together no matter what. EJ knows he’s been harsh with her over this but assures that nothing would make him happier than having a child with her. Nicole thanks him and says that means so much to her. EJ asks if they should go, but Nicole says there’s one thing she has to do first.

Eric asks Marlena what the point is of all these hypothetical questions since it won’t mean anything if he’s not the baby’s father. Marlena disagrees and thinks he needs to be honest about his feelings, regardless of the test. Marlena adds that if Eric still harbors idea of he and Nicole getting back together, he needs to look at that. Eric then gets a text from Nicole, asking him to meet her at the hospital. Eric guesses this is the moment of truth.

Gabi assures Stefan that she wants to marry him as soon as possible, but guesses she’s a little gun shy after her last marriage turned in to a farce. Stefan promises this time will be perfect and that he’s grateful every day for this second chance. Gabi brings up that their first wedding was on July 31 so if they do that again, they’ll only have one anniversary to remember. Stefan points out that’s only 8 weeks away and asks if she’s sure that will be enough time. Gabi declares that she will make it an event to remember and for all the right reasons this time.

Megan asks Kristen what her one condition is. Kristen brings up Brady having full custody of Rachel and keeping her away from her at all costs. Kristen says she’s asked several lawyers to revisit the case but they all refused and she’s tired of hearing no. Kristen wants Megan’s nefarious plans to include her getting full custody of Rachel for good this time. Megan calls that pedestrian and asks if she considered kidnapping. Kristen brings up that Megan has moved heaven and earth to be with her son. Megan admits she’s concerned about Dimitri since he was meant to come straight back to Salem after their immunity deal, but she hasn’t heard from him. Megan notes that if Dimitri doesn’t want to be found, he won’t be, and she knows that the Alamain family are desperate to get him back in custody. Dimitri then walks in and announces that her son is right here.

Steve tells Harris that it’s like all the villains decided to cause trouble at the same time. Steve adds that he doesn’t have any more time for Harris as he has to get a hold of John, so they can get out there and find Abe. Harris says he’d really like to help if he can. Steve thanks him but says they are good. Harris asks if he’s sure, questioning who can keep an eye on Megan 24/7 while they are out looking for Abe. Steve assures that they’ve got this so Harris says he hears the message and agrees to go. Harris tells Steve that if he changes his mind, his offer still stands, as he then exits.

Nicole and EJ are at the hospital. Nicole questions if EJ is alright as he paces. EJ complains about not understanding why Nicole felt the need to summon Eric. Nicole explains that she promised to tell him when the results came in and she wants to do this one time to have it over with. Eric then arrives at the hospital. Nicole informs him that Kayla will be meeting them soon. EJ comments on Eric only having sex with Nicole one time recently while he and Nicole are living together and enjoying each other. Nicole yells at EJ to stop and says this is not some sick competition. Nicole complains that it’s about a child’s life, so she needs them to be kind to each other and to her. Nicole cries that it breaks her heart that something she’s been longing for so long could end painfully, so she needs them to help her through this regardless of the results and who the father is. Nicole asks if they can do that for her.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Well, I did try to catch a few winks here and there, but the guy sitting next to me was a real chatter box. Yeah. No, actually I just, uh, walked in the door. Hey, how’s Bo doing? You too. Settled into that new rehab facility. Oh, that’s good. Good. And hope. Remember, if you need anything at all, you just let me know and I’ll take care of it, okay?

No, no. Don’t worry about Megan Hathaway. There’s no way she’s gonna find you. Okay? Uh, listen, I gotta run, but just know that Kayla and I are praying for Bo and we’re there with all of you in spirit. Okay? Okay, baby. I’ll talk to you soon. Love you too.

Well, look who’s here. Commander Michaels.

Well, it looks like it’s five o’clock somewhere and that somewhere is here. This, Megan, I know that you spent the last God note how many years off the grid and then in Statesville that a girl’s gotta take the edge off somehow. You wanna join me for a tip? Who love a celebratory drink? Two fingers neat, please.

And. What exactly are we celebrating? What is this all about? We just refer the servants didn’t. Over here.

Over here, well, plotting the demise of our dear brother ej.

Now you are darling.

I missed you.

Two. When did you get back? Oh, a little while ago. I looked all over for you, but I couldn’t find you. Where have you been? I found the office and they said you weren’t there. I, um, I left the office early to go to the hospital. The hospital, Nicole, is everything. All right?

So Nicole told you she’s pregnant and the child might be yours. Actually, Sloan did. It’s a long story, but Nicole just confirmed she’s at the hospital running a paternity test as we speak. Hey, we’re gonna find out. I’m the father. Everything is all right. Yes. But you were at the hospital. Why? I was giving Kayla a blood sample.

To follow up on the perimenopause treatment? No. Ej, I’m not entering into menopause. Oh, well then I, I don’t understand. How could Kayla make such an error? She didn’t. I lied to you. What? I, I, I didn’t miss my period because I’m going into menopause. I miss my period because. I am pregnant,

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

What are you doing here? Michaels? Is it all right if I come in?

Thank you. So listen, um, here’s no, no, no. Here’s the reason. You can save the explanation. Sean already told me that you were planning to follow us to Salem, so you could keep an eye on Megan Hathaway. Uh, yes, that’s true. So, well, the thing is, there are a whole lot of people already doing that job. John, me, you know, we’re PIs, we’re qualified to keep an eye on people.

So your help is not needed here. Just give me one more person that I don’t trust that I have to keep my eye on. If you really want to help you turn around and get outta Salem.

The demise of each. A Dara, well, not literally. Yeah, sorry to get your hopes up. Think of it more as a, uh, Consequential fall from Grace. Mm. So you too need our help in ousting, our brother from Dera Enterprises. I think that the reasonable question here is what’s in it for us. Well, we expected you to ask that, so we are in full agreement that you both will play major and noteworthy roles in the company’s future.

In fact, we have a couple of ideas we’d like to share. Oh,

well now it all makes sense. What? It makes sense why Nicole lied about there being a viral outbreak at the hospital on the 10th floor. Those cheek swabs were not for the virus they were to help determine paternity.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. Hmm. How does Sloan find out? She saw Nicole’s prenatal vitamins. Apparently she dropped them when she ran into the Sloan at the hospital. Nicole begged her slow, not to say a word. I mean, she knew that Nicole and I,

Sloan was hoping the baby wasn’t mine. So she agreed to help Nicole get a DNA swab without me knowing about it. Hmm. Wasn’t Nicole ever gonna tell you the truth? She was kind of hoping that she would get the results of the paternity test before she said anything to EJ or me. So EJ doesn’t know that the Nicole’s pregnant As far as I know, ejs still in the dark.

Oh my God. Nicole, you are pregnant. Yes. Well, I, I, I, I don’t understand. Why wouldn’t you tell me that you’re having my,

because it’s not mine, is it?

You have every reason not to trust me. I know that. That’s why you were my first stop in Salem. Interesting choice for first stop. Well, Steve, I respect you. I do. But I’m not going anywhere. I’ve said my . I’ve helped you guys find Kate. I think I can be useful here. I mean, I’m from Salem. I went to Salem High.

This place is, it’s the closest thing I know to home. And we’re on the same side. Like we don’t, we don’t have to be friends, but I think we can put aside our differences work together to make sure Megan does not hurt hope again, can’t we?

So as you can see, once we vote EJ out, you’ll both take on very prominent roles at the company. Details are a little vague to me. Well, we want you to have the agency to choose whatever peaks your interest the most. You know, I’m just concerned that the um, 30 year employment gap on my resume. Might be of some concern to the board.

It smacks a bit of nepotism. No, even So didn’t you bring back four people from the dead? I mean, not a skillset everyone can brag about. No. Oh, I think I brought back a few more than that, which is precisely why we need both of you, your miracle workers. You too. Oh, so then it’s not because you need our votes.

Well, there is that too. But your determination in your ruthlessness, no, no bounds. You’re also very skilled at coloring outside the lines. Oh, I get it. So while you’re skimming through a chicken soup for the shareholder’s soul sheen, I’ll be doing the dirty work. No, that’s not what we’re saying at all.

Listen, take a look. Read the proposal, offer your input. We’ll see what happens. We’ll take it under advisement. All right, for killing me. Get you. Maybe we’ll see you ladies later for night cap. Oh, we’ll be here.

So what do you make of this?

Got a match? Is it Nicole? Is it my baby or Carrie?

I don’t know if it is or not,

because it might be Eric’s,

so first you don’t tell me that you slept with Eric during. Biscuit gate and then after apologizing profusely assuring me that you would never lie to me again. You didn’t tell me that you were pregnant. In fact, you went to great lengths to concoct in alternate reality. I’m, I’m so sorry I would’ve told you sooner, but I, I, I couldn’t get a paternity test until I was seven weeks along.

And I didn’t want you to hear the news the way you’re hearing the news now. So why am I hearing it now?

Because he, Eric found out

you said Sloan is hoping this baby isn’t yours. Yeah. I mean, of course we’re in a committed relationship. Mm-hmm. And what about you? What do you mean about me? How do you feel about all this?

On the news, it’s all of a sudden, I, I just haven’t even had time to process this. I mean, we don’t even know if the baby’s mine or if Nicole can even carry the pregnancy to term and ej, my God, how is he gonna respond if he finds out he’s not the father? It’s just, it’s just a complicated situation. I mean, obviously, Yes.

Well, it certainly is complicated and we do know how EJ would react, but you didn’t answer my question. How do you feel about the idea of a call carrying your child?

I’m being honest with myself.

I guess a part of me is hoping that that baby’s mine.

Alright, well soon you get the test results back. Let me know. Okay. Hey, hey. Sweet mess. Come here. You tell me you were coming back today. I know I wanted to surprise you. Hello, Kayla. Hello Harris. Uh, commander Michaels here was just telling me that he’s moving back to Salem. And he wants to help keep an eye on Megan Hathaway.

Huh? But I told him that we’re good. We have more than enough cops and detectives and spies in the family. Actually, I think we need all the help we can get.

It just feels wrong saying that, and I want this baby to be mine. I wasn’t no right or wrong about that. This is about your feelings. You gotta respect those, especially after what happened with Jada. Now, I just shouldn’t be thinking it.

I’ve been Sloan, everything that she’s been through with her brother, this is the last thing that she needs to hear. That I’m having a baby with another woman. Well, it’s not exactly another woman, it’s a woman pro. You still have some feelings. Am I right?

I, I, I can’t believe I didn’t realize what was going on sooner. That’s why you didn’t drink any champagne. That’s why when I got down on one knee and asked you to be my wife, you looked at me and said The timing was bad. I told you I loved you, and you couldn’t even say back. I felt guilty for not telling you the truth, not to mention that you knew you might be carrying another man’s baby.

You want to keep your options open. Keep my options open in case Eric is the father. Then the last thing you would want is to be betrothed to me. No, that is not because you would want him back. Wouldn’t you?

All right. You ready for the finishing touch? Uh, the finishing touch? Yeah. Is it less intense than that toe bending thing you were doing? All right. So you gently, you take the left side of the foot and pull. Why you take the right side and push and twist. Oh, that feels there. It’s amazing. I needed that. Oh, nothing better than that.

You know, I’ve been thinking. If Megan can cure disease and raise the dead, do you think that there’s a way she could invent some sort of comfortable stiletto technology for Gabby Sheik? Oh, if only, I mean, we’ve tried everything under the sun, right? Only we can offer a foot massage with every purchase.

Maybe that was nice. That’s not a bad idea, but seriously, we’ve gotta come up with some sort of idea, something for those two women to do that both helps ’em feeling useful and keeps ’em out of our way. You know, I gotta say, I feel like Megan was kinda lukewarm about her proposal. I think she’s gonna be a tough nut to crack.

I’m a fine way. What about Kristen? Kristen’s too preoccupied with getting her little family back to fall out of line. But Megan. Megan’s got nothing but an obsession with someone who’s comatose another continent. And even though she may be power hungry, I can’t imagine the board’s gonna be okay with her just waltzing in and trying to run things.

I mean, you have to have working knowledge of technology at least. Post walk, man. Am I right? But you my love, you are going to be the best CEO this company has ever seen. I you that also, on top of all that, we have the backing of the staff and the management, as you know. So Megan is not gonna be charged.

There’s no way in hell yeah. Well both agree on that. But you know, Megan, she’s got an ego on her bigger than all outdoors and, and not to mention her cold heart that is, What I, I’m thinking is set on world domination. I, I’m just wondering how she’s gonna take it. Do they honestly think that we’re gonna put our leverage behind them for a couple of measly jobs at Gabby Sheik?

What a waste of considerable talent. Yeah, I agree with you. We should be running Damara, not our baby brothers, and certainly not that little low life operator. Gabby Hernandez. My ambitions extend far beyond running Dara. Oh, and how far do they extend across oceans, across continents. I want no. I deserve more.

So much more. Can you be a little more specific? Father was a grand papa buster. The whole town of Salem feared Stephan o Damara. The world feared him and all of his other offspring have had their shot at emulating him. Now it’s my turn. Oh, okay. So now you want to be your father’s daughter, do you? I am my father’s daughter, and just as the Phoenix making Tamara is rising again.

To state the painfully obvious, Megan Hathaway doesn’t hold a candle to you. My stunning cunning wife to be. I love it when you say those words. Stunning, cunning, uh, wife. To be,

I can’t wait till we drop those final two words. You have no idea how long I’ve been dreaming about this. Yeah. What Running Gabby Sheik vacations in Hawaii sipping champagne in for his class. All of that is fun. Yes. But what, what truly matters is that we’re together again, how lucky we are and we can have it all.

You and I, all of it. I mean, think about it. We’re gonna be Salem’s Power Couple you formidable on your own, US Unstoppable as a team. Oh yeah. And what a team we are. My husband’s fee.

So in a nutshell, you are aspiring to take over the world. Have I got that right? I am not being delusional or grandiose. Kristin, I’m dead serious. I’ll start with sailor one bite out of the corporate pie at a time. Okay. You know, this is a very expensive undertaking and unlike father, you don’t hold the purse strings to damara.

Oh, must you wanna slide into Jeff Bezos, whose uh, dms. Cute. But no, I won’t be needing to bear money. I have another plan.

Abes missing. Yeah. And the psychopath that attacked him, Colin Bedford, apparently he escaped from police custody and he’s out there somewhere impersonating a cop. Do the police think that Abe’s attackers the one who took them? Well, that’s their leading theory at the moment. They have nothing else to go on.

What can I do to help? Well, I, you know, I think that the police need more manpower. Jada is just pulled in, well, a lot of different directions. How so? Well, her sister, for one, was arrested. For being in cahoots with this Bedford guy in cahoots. How? Look, I don’t know all the details. All I know is that we want Abe found.

I mean, he is relatively stable, but he had a serious head injury and I’m just worried that he’s not gonna get the care that he needs. I take it, mayor Carver’s a good friend of yours. He’s more than just a friend. He’s really family. You look tired. You need to get something to eat. I will. But you know, I, I, I, I hate to say I have to leave, but I just came here to pick up a couple things.

I need to get back to the hospital and brief the board. Sorry, one second. Oh, and the test results I’ve been waiting for rn, so hey. Hey. Are you okay? Yeah, I now that

I told son, I loved her. That means she said it first and then next thing you know, I set it back. Well, you, you wouldn’t have said it if you didn’t mean it. I did mean it in the moment. Well, maybe you didn’t mean it was an undying kind of love.

Oh, honey, I know you, I know how much you want a family. And when that happened, you’re gonna be a spectacular father.

But if this baby is yours, do you think you want to raise it with Nicole while she’s still with ej? Or are, are you thinking that maybe the two of you will, I don’t know, reunite and raise the baby together?

Ej, this is not about me wanting to go back to Eric or, or, or keeping my options open then. Then, what is it about? I was so desperately hoping to tell you that we were having a baby together, so then you wouldn’t have to deal with this uncertainty and anxiety. That has pretty much consumed me for the last few weeks.

Especially since there’s a good chance that I, I might not be able to carry this pregnancy to term.

Have you, have you spoken to a doctor yet? I mean, surely there have been some medical advances. When you were last pregnant? Yeah, I, I know I have been, and now I, I haven’t made an appointment with a specialist because I’ve, I’ve just been taking everything. One step at a time,

and I am curious, but how did Eric find out?

Sloane Peterson told him. Sloane knows she found out by accident. Ugh. Who else? Nicole. Who else knew before itis? I confided in Anna and she accidentally told Tony,

oh God, I feel like such a fool. No, AJ it was only gonna be for one more day. I’m, I’m seven weeks along now, and I, I had the test run and we’re gonna find out the results really soon. And how is that possible? Don’t you need a sample from me and Eric? No, just one of you. I was gonna swab your cheek while you were sleeping, but you went outta town.

So Sloane got a sample from Eric.

Nicole, Kayla. Hi. I have your test results.

You know what I wanna do in our honeymoon? What’s that? This, I just wanna be in bed with you all day.

Love the way your mind works. I can’t believe we’re actually gonna have a honeymoon this time and wedding cake, more than two guests in attendance. Right. How long do you think it’ll take, by the way, I mean, to plan the wedding that you’ve always dreamt of? I mean, it’s already been four years and that has been enough waiting for me.

Right. Yeah. Me too. But, hmm. And you really think we could afford to get away from Dara right now? I mean, yeah, taking over Dara is important to me, but marrying you, it’s everything. The most important.

What are you thinking?

I’m just, we don’t even have the divorce degree yet. The papers are signed. Have it day now. Yeah, day. Why don’t we get the feeling that you’re looking for reasons to put off the way.

Oh, I love a good get rich, quick scheme, just like the next person. So share. Megan, what do you have on your mind? You’ll find out soon enough. Wait, you don’t trust me. I trust you more than just about anyone. Ah, which means not very much am I right. You’ll have all the necessary details, my dear. When the time is right, I want to make sure that everything is in place first for when Bo regains consciousness father called Marlene, his Queen of the night.

Beau is going to be my queen, and together we are going to, okay, just time out. Time out. I mean, I’m sorry to interrupt your little fairytale, but what is my role in all of this? It is a vital one, of course. Oh, a vital one is, is that all you can say? I mean, that’s just as much as good as the proposal that you threw into the fire.

I am not trying to appease you, Kristin. You and I both know that you are not gonna have the time or the dedication to devote to this project as I do, given the fact that you have a young child that said, I very much need you. You are paramount to all of this. You’re damn right. I am. And I’m gonna make something clear.

I will not be sidelined, duly noted. And also, I’m gonna want something from you in return.

Well, can we come meet you now please? Yes, I’m on my way to the hospital and I have the next 30 minutes free. I’ll be there.

Why she couldn’t give you the results over the phone. What about checking the patient portal? I was actually hoping you’d come with me, hear the results. When? When I do.

I’ve been agonizing over this for weeks and now that you finally know I was, I was hoping we could go through this together no matter what.

I know that I’ve been rather harsh with you over all this, me not having known sooner.

But I want to be clear with you, Nicole,

nothing would make me happier than having a child with you.

Thank you.

That means so much to me.

Show me, ah, there’s, there’s just. One thing I have to do first, what is the point of all these hypothetical questions? It won’t mean anything if I’m not the baby’s father. I disagree. I think you need to be honest about your feelings regardless of what the test shows. And darling, if you’re still harboring some ideas that you and Nicole will get back together.

I think you need to look at that.

It’s Nicole.

She wants me to meet her at the hospital.

Guess this is the moment of truth.

Of course. No, of course. I wanna marry you as soon as possible. Okay, then what’s going on? I guess I’m a little gun shy after my last wedding turned into a farce, after, you know, 30 minutes. Okay, look at me this time. It’s gonna be perfect. All I know is I’m grateful every single day for the second chance,

first wedding, when a was. Marrying us downstairs. That was on July 31st. So if we pick that same day, we’ll only have one anniversary to remember. Oh, July 31st, huh? That’s um, mm-hmm. That’s eight weeks away. I know. You sure? That’s enough time. Of course. It’s enough time. Come on, I’m gonna make this an event to remember and for.

All the right reasons this time. I hope so

very well, Kristen. Tell me what this one condition is. Well, as you know, Brady has full custody of Rachel and he is held bent on keeping her away from me at all costs. Now, I asked several lawyers to revisit the case. They all refused me and I’m just sick and tired of hearing the word no. So I want these nefarious plans of yours to include my getting full custody of Rachel.

For good this time custody that is so pedestrian. Have you considered kidnapping her? Please Look, I know you have moved heaven and earth to be with your son, right? Yes, I have.

What’s on your mind? I’m just a bit concerned about Dimitri after he made sure that our. Immunity was included in his immunity deal. He was meant to come straight back to Salem. Haven’t heard from him. It was under the impression that he unitized everywhere. My son is an ex I s A agent. He’s an imposter.

Or be that as it may, if he doesn’t want to be found, he won’t be. Why would he not wanna be found? Well, I know for a fact the Alama family were desperate to get him back into custody, and I just hope that they haven’t intercepted him somehow. Call your jet’s mother. Your son’s right here.

Well, it’s like old home week here in Salem. All the villains passed and present co convening to make trouble. So I don’t have any more time to chew the fat with you, Michaels. I’ve really gotta get ahold of my partner, John, so we can get out there and find Abe. I’d really like to help if I can. Thanks. But we’re good.

Are you sure about that? Because if you’re out there looking for Abe, who can keep an eye on Megan 24 7. We got this. Michaels. Okay. Message heard loud and clear. I’ll go,

but, uh, see if, if you change your mind. My offer still stands,

ej are, are you okay? I don’t understand why you felt it necessary to summon Eric. Because I promise I would tell him when the results came in, and I wanna do this one time and then have it over with.

Well, uh, nothing yet. Kayla’s gonna meet us here in a few minutes. Well, I’m not in any suspense actually. Odds are strong. You want the father given that you only had sex when Nicole Once recently. Yeah. Well recently is what counts in this case, wouldn’t it? And since Nicole and I are now living together and enjoying each other for quite some time now, well stop it.

Just stop.

This is not some sick competition. Okay? This is about a, a child, a life. So I need you two to be kind to each other and to me

it breaks my heart that something that I’ve been longing for for so long, something that is such a blessing and a miracle could end. Fraught and painful. So I need you to help me through this. Whatever the results, whoever the father of this baby is. Okay. Can you do that for me please?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, well, it has been a long, long winter. But it was well worth the wait, let me tell you. Yeah. You know, I don’t care if we were wearing parkas. Parkas? As long as I get to spend some alone time with you. Well, I agree with the alone time. Uh, it’s nice to have the sun on the skin. Right?

[ Laughs ] Um, I would — I would like a little spritzer, though, if you don’t mind. Is that a hint? Want me to go… trek over there and get if for you? Yeah. Yeah? Whatever you wish. Thank you, babe. I’m so sorry you’re hurting. But if there’s one thing I know, it’s that curtis ashford is strong enough to weather whatever comes his way. And he won’t have to go through it alone. You have so many people who love you, and they’ll be right by your side no matter what. Hi. Jordan. You’re probably wondering how I knew you were here. So you came to see me? Yes. Your wife told me where to find you. Everything is in order, mr. Cassadine. Per instructions of the late mr. Victor cassadine, the contents of this box now belong to you. I’m sorry for your loss. Thank you.

[ Door closes ] It’s not too late. Spencer. I mean it. We can leave this box locked. We can walk out of here. I know my uncle victor, and there’s no good that is going to come from opening this box, trina. Do you really not want to know what this box might be protecting your family from? Hey, dr. Gh. Hi. Um, can I ask you a question? Absolutely. Uh, it’s about my — my post-op recovery. Oh. In private, if that’s okay. Yeah, you bet. If we’re gonna discuss your post-op recovery, we should probably do it in my office. Don’t you think? We got a problem. Hey, perfect timing. I just made brownies. Well, not so perfect. They are still really hot. What brings you by? Look, mom has to defend herself against the insider trading charges. And now that you’ve left dex hanging out to dry, she can. Look, joss, nothing is official. We don’t even know if the justice department is even going to make her an offer. Well, why does she have to wait? She can bring the offer to them. She could save herself and drew. Once, you know, you give her the smoking gun. Josslyn, I had my reasons for not wanting to use that footage against sonny. And how do those reasons compare to our mother going to prison? Something that you have the power to stop. Oh, no. It’s not bad news, is it?

[ Lock clicks ] Okay, we’re here. We’re in private. Nobody can listen to us. Can you please just e-mail me the video of sonny taking the shipment from pikeman? I don’t have it.

[ Chuckles ] You’re not here for the sun, I guess. Not today. Yeah. Have — have you seen nina around? Nina? No. I’ve been too busy paying attention to that pretty thing over there.

[ Chuckles ] Looks like you guys are in a good place. That’s what it’s all about. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I can’t complain. Well, you seem lighter. Well, maybe it has something to do with, uh, nina and me. We…got engaged. You got engaged? That’s amazing. That’s — that’s amazing. Congratulations. That’s awesome news.

[ Laughs ] That’s awesome news. Things are looking up in your world, then, yeah? Not everything. Be overwhelming.

Gives meget the brands you want, excuse me. What’s going on with sonny? I don’t know. Did you know that he and nina got engaged? Uh, well, I just… overheard him tell you that. Um, but I-I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I mean, this means he and carly have truly moved on. Is willow okay? Yeah. No, no. She’s — she’s — she’s fine. I checked on her this morning. So far, so good. She, um — she asked about you. She’s — she’s worried. We both are. I do not want willow worrying about me. She’s got to focus on herself. Will you please tell her I’m fine? No, you and I both know, mom, that you’re not fine. From what you told me, it does not sound like you have many options. Well, I will take my chances in court or I’ll go for a deal, okay? Which would mean offering up drew or dad to the feds. Yeah. It’s not much of a choice, but… so you’re gonna take your chance in court? I don’t know. But it’s my decision to make, michael. And that’s why I don’t want you and josslyn fighting over this, okay? This is my problem. Can’t you see, mom? What affects you affects us. I know that. So whatever decision I make, it will be what’s best for this family. And what decision will that be, mom? You don’t have the footage? I gave the only copy to michael. Why? Because it’s his property. Michael paid me. I delivered the footage. End of story. No, no, it’s not the end of story, because that video’s the one shot my mom has at not going to prison. Then she needs to get it from michael. I can’t believe that you risked your life to get this video and you don’t keep a copy for insurance. That’s not how I work. I provide a service, joss. Okay? Look, it’s like when I was in the military. I-I was given a mission, an objective, and I completed it. I didn’t take ownership of it. It’s the exact same thing now, okay? Michael hired me. The footage belongs to him. Even if I had a copy, which I don’t, I couldn’t give it to you. No need to get in my face, sonny. I got no beef with you. Only with carly, ratting her out to the sec? That’s low, even for a quartermaine, ned. I don’t owe you any explanations. I’m here to see my wife. No, you’re not going anywhere until I’m done with you. Nikolas inherited property in the chechen republic, and now laura thinks that’s where he’s been hiding out. Why? The theory is that — that victor hid him there once before. Now laura wants to fly to chechnya, find him, and bring him home. Oh, ava. You said we have a problem. Come on, if — if laura wants to go to chechnya to look for nikolas, she’s never gonna find him. Let her go. Let her try. It’s dangerous. She — she could be hurt or worse. No, w-we have to stop her. Um, yeah, I’m — I’m — I’m gonna push back on that just a — just, like, a little bit. If you go to laura and you say, “hey, don’t go to chechnya to look for your long-lost son,” she’s gonna want to know why not, right? So you’re worried. I-I-I get that. I totally understand. But you can’t say anything to laura. You can’t do anything to raise suspicion. But I-I can’t have any more blood on my hands. Especially not laura’S. You spoke with portia about me? Don’t worry. I didn’t tell her what happened with us at the savoy. Aren’t you gonna invite me in? Yeah, absolutely. It really is lovely here. So when were you gonna tell me you moved back home? Well, actually, I was on my way to come find you right now. Opened the door, and there you were. It’s like I’m always here when you need me. Except I’m not sure it works the other way around. You’re angry. You can add hurt to that. Definitely confused. After we kissed, we agreed that I would wait. And while I was waiting, you reconciled with your new wife. You know, if pandora had left that box closed, the world would have been spared all its evils. Hope also came out of that box. Stop stalling. Is that what I think it is? What fresh hell?


There’s no juice. Maybe it’s a sign. Or it just needs a fresh charge. Good thing your girl always comes prepared. My dad has a rule that I should never be without a charge. Oh. Well, remind me to thank him the next time that I see him, then. Let’s see what’s in this. Is that a receipt? Mm-hmm. From an online pharmacy. This is a prescription filled by esme. For what? For the same drug that almost killed oz haggerty. And poisoned me. Michael, I’m not selling anybody out. Maybe you shouldn’t look at it that way, mom. How else am i supposed to see it? I either turn against the man I love or the man I used to love, who happens to be the father of my kids. Come on. But you — you told sonny that you wouldn’t double-cross him. While that’s admirable, from where I’m standing, he hasn’t exactly extended the same courtesy to you or this family. That’s not true. He offered to give me information that I could offer the feds, something that he could defend himself against. I turned him down. I don’t want to open that door, michael. Okay. What if you had something that sonny can’t defend himself against? Let me save us both some time. If I don’t pull strings and stop the sec investigation into drew and carly, you’ll make me pay? Is that the gist of it? Oh, yeah. You’re gonna pay. Worse than carly and drew, ned. You may want to do something about this. You’re threatening me, sonny? I don’t threaten people. I get even. I thought we had mutual respect, until you went after the mother of my kids. I had nothing to do withthe sec investigation! You always have nothing to do with it! You’ll have to find someone else to threaten, sonny. Always. Yeah. Okay, step back. Step back. I’m not the one who started this. I’ll be happy to finish it. Is that what you want? What the hell is going on here? I’m a mother, too. And I understand what laura is going through. I just can’t risk anything happening to her while she searches for nikolas, especially because it’s my fault that he’s gone in the first place. Fine. That’s — yeah, let’s do it. Let’s — let’s, uh — let’s figure out a way to stop laura. Thank you. Yeah, no problem. I-I — I’d like to propose some terms, though. I — if — terms like what? Well, I don’t — I don’t see any reason to rush any of this, right? I mean, it’s probably really hard for anybody to go to chechnya, let alone an american. And it’s not gonna be easy for laura to get out of chechnya, either. That’s not a piece of cake, probably. So whatever plan laura’s gonna come up with has to be well-thought-out and considered. And hopefully that’ll give us some time to really think about how to stop her.


Jordan, I would never play a, a, it’s not reconciliation. It’s just a first step. Does portia know that? I’m staying in the guest room.

[ Scoffs ] Even so, what gives, curtis? Were you ever considering reviving what we had together? Or was I just there to help you sort out your feelings for your wife? Jordan, I would never play you like that, okay? What happened between us was — it was spontaneous. It was impulsive.

[ Scoffs ] But it was completely organic. Maybe this is on me. I got wrapped up in a single kiss. I misread the situation, didn’t I? I wasn’t sure if you knew that esme drugged you that night at the cabin. My mom and curtis suspected it. It made the most sense. I barely even drank that night, not enough to make me feel so out of it! How’d you know? Did esme tell you? I found pills. I was going through all of esme’s things, trying to find something that would clear you in court, trina. I brought one of the pills to britt, and she told me that it was an opioid analgesic, something that, when mixed with alcohol, could cause a person to lose consciousness. It sure did that to me. I know. I’m so sorry, trina. Yeah. So am I. Look. Okay. Listen to me. I mean, I’m so sorry that I didn’t tell you about this sooner, but things just kept happening. It was one thing on top of another on top of another. And I guess it just got buried. And I’m sorry. I know. It’s okay. It’s been a lot. But it sure comes back up, though. It was such a violation. And it started the whole revenge-porn case. At least I didn’t end up like oz haggerty in a coma. I wanted to be the one to save you. But I didn’t have any actual proof. Until now. Thank you. You’re welcome. I feel so much better. It really helps me that I have someone to share this with. Literally anytime. You know, ava, when —

[ Chuckles ] When you said there was a problem, I thought — I thought you might have heard from mason. Oh. Have you? No. No. N-not a peep. That’s great. I mean, that’s great… and also really weird ’cause usually, you know, when he has his hooks in somebody, he’s not inclined to let go. Well, small favors, right? Right? Dare we hope that — that mason has given up? Given up on you two? Never. Go ahead. Look for yourself. No, I’m not gonna look through it. If you tell me it’s not there, then I believe you. I have to, because if you’re lying, then we got nothing. Look, I spent months telling you half-truths and keeping secrets. I won’t do that again. Really? Even if it’s your job? Just like it was your job to get this video for michael and — and not keep a copy and not give it to me? To me, honesty and evidence are two different things. I can tell you what I’m doing, but I can’t make you a part of it. Sonny and I are just having a friendly chat, one where I shut up and listen. In case you’ve forgotten, this is my place of business. So I can’t have a conversation in your hotel? Is that what you’re saying, olivia? I think maybe you should do it somewhere privately. Yeah, you know, like, not at a patio with a pool full of witnesses. To be continued. Sonny, I get that you’re pissed. And had I done what you’re accusing me of doing, you’d have every right to threaten me. But god as my witness, it wasn’t me. At least sonny and I are in agreement about one thing. We both don’t want you to go to prison. Michael, I know you have huge issues with your dad. Yeah, I do. Despite everything that happened, it’s still not easy to come to grips with wanting to save your mother at the expense of your father. Well, it’s a good thing you don’t have to. Mom… joss is worried about you, and so am I. If it came down to the choice of saving you or sonny… I’m not going to sacrifice sonny to save my own skin, michael. I won’t do that. Okay. Then what if I do it instead? How did this receipt end up here? Is there something else in the envelope? It’s a letter. “Dear maggie. I need your advice. I may be in a lot of trouble.” That’s esme’s nanny. “A sleazy bartender I met has been harassing me. Tonight I met with him, hoping to convince him to leave me alone, and things got out of control. I slipped him something so I could get away, and I may have seriously hurt him.” Spencer, do you realize what this is? Evidence. Oo like a genie? So you can change it less often. That’s got to be esme’s handwriting. It looks like it. Isn’t that just like esme — trying to slant things to make herself look like the victim when she’s the one who purposely drugged oz haggerty? You can never induce that girl to tell the truth. Total amnesia could. Right?

[ Chuckles ] This is amazing. This is amazing. A receipt proving that esme bought the drugs that she used to incapacitate two people. And a written confession! What else do we need? Do you think that’s charged enough? Only one way to find out. Jordan, you didn’t misread anything. My feelings for you are real, and me moving back in here doesn’t change that. And how real are your feelings for portia? I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have real feelings for portia, as well.

[ Scoffs ] I’m out of here. Jordan, you accused me of not giving our marriage the chance it needed. And you were right. When you wanted to work on things, I walked away because I wasn’t ready to handle the pain at that time. And now I’m trying to learn from my mistake. It wouldn’t be fair to you and portia if I walked away from my marriage before I sorted out my feelings. And how do you plan on doing that? By not avoiding portia. By committing to having the hard conversation. By — [ Sighs ] By doing what I didn’t do with you. That’s putting in the hard work. That’s admirable and great news for portia, but where does that leave me? You’re right, sonny. Our families have had an ugly history. But we share a family member, and we both prioritize family. And, granted, the quartermaines don’t always show it, but when push comes to shove, we’re loyal and we pull together. And when I threatened drew, I was angry, but that’s where it ended. And carly — carly I consider family. Not just because she’s michael’s mother, but she’s olivia’s best friend and loved by my son, leo. I would never hurt her. Alright. Well, you know, let’s not pretend that you would never act in your own self-interest. Your family loyalty took a vacation when you threw in with valentin. And that’s the reason, olivia, that carly lost half of her hotel. And I regret that. Which is why I would never kick her while she’s down. Sonny, you and I go way back. Which is why I am not asking you to believe ned. I’m asking you to believe me. My husband didn’t do this. Don’t you guys look comfortable? All cozy and at ease. Did you miss me?

[ Chuckles ] Sorry I’ve been gone for so long. I was out of town on important business. But worry not. I didn’t forget about you. -I’ve been keeping tabs. -How? Anybody ever tell you you worry too much, cuz? You know, you should be more like our girl ava here. She’s been living her life, carrying on without a care in the world. It’s almost as if she doesn’t even miss her husband. I’m sorry. For what? You’re scared for your mom, and you came to me thinking that I could help you save her, and I can’T. I feel like I’m failing you. Look. I came up with a plan that couldn’t work. I thought that you could give me something that you literally don’t have. So, you know, it’s not your fault. None of this is your fault. Because it’s my family’s mess. And I don’t know how to fix it. Because if my mom doesn’t turn in that evidence against sonny and she goes to prison, then donna has nobody except for sonny and nina. And she needs her mom. She’ll have you.

[ Scoffs ] I think you might need your mom, too. Yeah, but I’m grown and… I shouldn’t need her as much as I do. We always need the people that care about us the most. I can’t sit here and do nothing. I have to find a way to help her. Maybe start by trusting her. Michael, the feds have been circling this family for years, and I haven’t talked. And I’m not gonna start now, even for a deal. Yeah. True. You could — you could probably send sonny away with what you already know. But there’s a way to ensure that you never have to open your mouth.

[ Sighs ] What is on this flash drive is irrefutable evidence that sonny violated the national security act. You just give me the word, and I’ll make sure that the relevant parties see it, and your hands will be clean. What is on that flash drive? Video footage of sonny and his crew finalizing a deal to export a dangerous weapon. How do you know this? How did you even get that flash drive? Because I commissioned it.


Oh then you take me by the hand I feel better again oh I feel better now because of olivia, this is over. But if I hear that you had any part of this… you won’T. Sonny… see you around. Okay? I’m gonna go get that spritzer and grab you a beer. Thank you. What — what the hell was that? From what I know, ned had something to do with carly’s problems with the sec. What do you expect me to do? Well, not that. I mean, you want to go to bat for the mother of your children? That’s fine, but don’t go at ned in a public place like this. What do you think happens? He has an accident or something like that. Who do you think I then have to come and talk to? You. You really want both of donna’s parents behind bars? You paid someone to spy on sonny? I needed proof of criminal liability that would send sonny to prison for the rest of his life. Oh, my god. And this was more than I could have asked for. What were you thinking? What’s on that drive could destroy our family! Yes, I know. Willow — willow told me the same thing. That’s why after we got married I decided I wasn’t gonna try and take sonny down anymore. But you still held onto it! Yes, and it’s a good thing that I did because, mom, this could be the one thing that’s standing between you and a federal prison! You can’t tell her how to handle this any more than she can tell you how to handle your life. Well, she definitely has opinions. Yeah, about me. About you being with me. Hey. I told you, she just doesn’t want to see me get hurt. She never directly told me to not be with you. She knows that I would not listen. Would’ve just solved all her problems if I did what michael wanted and left port charles. Not really. Because I offered to go with you. And I meant it. I know. And the fact that you were willing to do that, it — it terrified me. You creep! Okay. [ Stammers ] You know, ’cause… ouch. Ava! Is that really what you think of me? After everything I’ve done for you? Need I remind you, refresh your memories, what would have happened if I didn’t step in and get rid of your little problem? What? You don’t like sunshine and fresh air? Because I guess I could go to the pcpd right now, and I guarantee you’ll never feel either of those again. What’s your point, mason? Is there one? Do you have a purpose or are you just here to torment us? Don’t rush me, cuz, though I do appreciate the go-getter attitude. You’re gonna need it. See, it’s time for the two of you to show poor old mason a little appreciation. -Is that — -that’s esme with the bartender. This looks like a still from a security camera on the docks. What are they doing? Yeah. That’s a hand-off. Spencer… is this proof that esme paid for a burner phone? The same one that she filmed joss and cam with? It sure looks like it.

[ Chuckles ] All this time, we thought esme could cover up her tracks so well. I guess there’s no such thing as a perfect crime. No.

[ Chuckles ] At least not where my uncle victor is concerned. Jordan, I understand this is uncomfortable for you. And despite my best efforts, it’s probably still unfair. But I never would have asked you to wait if I thought you were some consolation prize.

[ Scoffs ] Does portia know I’m the other half of this equation? As much as you hate dishonesty, don’t you think you should be fully transparent with both women in your life? I do. There’s just… more at play here. Yeah. Portia told me the news. You are trina’s father. I am. Congratulations. Thanks. You are navigating so much. Is there really room in your life for another complication? Jordan, you’re much more than that. Just took me too long to realize it. Can you give me just a little bit more time?


If it wasn’t for me, you would both be behind bars. Mason, why don’t you just tell us what it is you have in mind? I have something I need you to do. Oh, I’d be happy to buy you a bus ticket out of town. You don’t even have to ask. Sense of humor will come in handy, as well as your charisma and fearlessness. Ava’s got all the charisma we need. Your needs are not my problem. And my ample charisma is none of your damn business. So feisty. She is. Mason, why don’t you just explain to ava exactly what you want from her?

We want you to work your very specific connections. “We”? We who? And what connections are you talking about? I’m a gallerista, for crying out loud. You want a deal on a piece of art? It’s not about your art, ava. It’s about your family. I have so many questions. I mean, how did your uncle obtain all this evidence and how long was he sitting on it for? And if he hadn’t died, would you had ever known? Yeah, those are all valid questions. This safety deposit box contains a smoking gun. This is exactly what I was hoping for. Okay, look, let’s get everything together and let’s go to the pcpd. Spencer, this is it. You got everything you need to get custody of your baby brother. I’ve been living in limbo since our divorce. And while you reunited with portia, fell in love, and…

[ Sighs ] …Proposed… I found myself buried in work, even resisting going out on dates. I never wanted that for you. And I’m not blaming you. It was my choice not to move on. Maybe subconsciously I was holding out for hope. Jordan, I don’t want to keep you waiting. That’s exactly why we’re having this conversation, so I can find out where I stand with portia, and then I can find out where I stand with you. I know where we stand, curtis. What does that mean? I hope you find what you’re searching for here, curtis. And I hope you and portia can be happy, whether it’s together or apart. And you? I have to truly let go. Finally. Two years was too long to put my life on hold. I can’t wait a minute more. Ned, I’m sorry. I don’t blame you. I’ve let you down before. But you’ve also been there for me before, like with leo. I’m sorry. I should never have doubted you. Can you forgive me? Maybe. Can you remind me what you said to sonny again? “My husband didn’t do this”? One more time. “My husband did not do this.” I get it. This is just too much. What started off as a casual thing just got way too intense. We’ve never put a label on our relationship. In the beginning, I was just excited to spend time with you, even if usually you were tearing into me for working for sonny. Then you — you rescued me from a meat hook and you patched me up when I was shot. You even covered for me when I took a shot at that killer on the docks. Anyone would have done that. Nobody would have gone to the lengths for me that you have. Donna shouldn’t have to lose time with her mother in jail. You know what I mean? Okay. But carly’s actions bear some responsibility, no? She didn’t do it on purpose. But whoever pointed the sec towards carly and drew, they sure as hell did. There’s an agenda, is what I’m trying to say! Alright, well, you say that like you have someone in mind other than ned. Thank you. The tip to the sec was anonymous. Yeah, I mean, anybody could be trying to get to carly… or use carly to get to me. Oh, my god. Look, I-I had decided that this footage would never serve a good purpose, but now I realize that it could save you. So, mom, you — do you want to use it or do you want me to? I would prefer that it didn’t exist, michael. Okay. I respect that. You know, if you — if you change your mind… I won’T. This footage can never see the light of day. Who else knows about this? You have defended me to your mom, gone to bat for me with your brother. You’ve even pleaded my case to sonny. You are special. Once-in-a-lifetime. And the thought of losing you, it… it scares me because… ’cause I’m in love with you, josslyn. So now it’s my turn to ask. Is this too much for you?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jack: Dizzy reece, “soundin’ off.” First van gelder mono, factory sealed and vinyl. My friend neil would go crazy over this. So? You can’t find these, I’m tellin’ ya.

Diane: This must be our lucky night.

Jack: Oh, in more ways than one. Thank you for suggesting mo’S.

Diane: Well, it’s your favorite record store, and tonight, we’re going to do all of our favorite things.

Jack: Everything I do with you is my new favorite thing.

[ Diane laughing ] I am sorry that tucker and ashley spoiled our time at society.

Diane: Nope! Already forgotten because this night is not over.

Jack: Oh, other plans?

Diane: Yes. Drinks first.

Jack: Oh! Well, let me get you something at the bar, all right?

Diane: No, no, no! No, no. No, no. I got this. Two martinis, one dirty, one with extra olives, and I can’t wait to chat up the bartender or mixologist or whatever he wants to be called, because I am dying for small talk with strangers. Like, what kind of gin does he prefer, and how we both know that it should be stirred, not shaken because gin is so much more delicate than vodka.

Jack: You are an absolute wonder.

Diane: Hmm. I’ve just gotten my life back for the second time since coming home to genoa city and I plan on soaking up every minute of it.

Summer: Oh my, god, mom, you’ve got to let this go.

Kyle: Hey.

Summer: Oh. Wow, that looks… festive?

Kyle: Yeah. I want it to be perfectly chill by the time my parents get home. We can finally toast to my mom’s freedom.

Phyllis: Hey. Summer, I’m getting desperate. Please, please, answer me.

Daniel: Well, we cut the drop off pretty close. I’m glad you made it to your gate in time. I love you, too, luce. You have a safe flight. Oh, um, and… text me when you land. I don’t care what time it is, okay? ‘Kay. Bye.

[ Phone chiming ] Who’s this?

Sharon: You’re right, nikki. Cameron started causing problems for me the minute he got to town. He… wanted me. And he made it evident that if his deal was gonna happen with nicholas, I was gonna have to chip in a little on the side.

Nikki: And you never told your husband about this ugly game this guy was playing with you?

Sharon: How could I tell him?

Nikki: How could you not? This guy was comin’ after you. Do you think for a moment that nicholas wouldn’t have supported you?

Sharon: Oh, my god. Oh, it’s you.

Nick: Sorry. You okay?

Sharon: Yeah, I’m just a little jumpy.

Nick: Yeah, you need to start locking the doors, sharon.

Sharon: Good idea.

Nick: All right, if you’re done here, let’s go. I’ll take you home.

Sharon: You don’t have to drive me.

Nick: Sorry. You don’t get a say in that.

Sharon: Well, you already beefed up security.

Nick: Well, you can never be too safe. And until kirsten is out of our lives, you’re gonna have to deal with it.

Sharon: You know, every time I hear a noise or I get a delivery, or my phone rings, I’m afraid. I know, it’s silly.

Nick: No. It’s not silly at all. Not with a monster like that on the loose.

Cameron: Not bad. Not bad at all. I won’t let me moderate to severe plaque psoriasis

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Diane: Here you go.

Jack: Oh.

Diane: The reason there’s an odd number of olives is because an even number is bad luck.

Jack: Well, I think luck’s gotta be a big part of our evening.

Diane: Mmm.

Jack: So, um… where’s your drink?

Diane: In all the excitement of interacting with the outside world, I forgot my martini.

Jack: Kyle is forever forgetting his phone these days. I hope it isn’t inherited.

Diane: I would hate to think I passed down that trait.

Jack: Now, wait a minute. Where’d you just go now?

Diane: It’s– it’s nothing. I was just thinking that the night of the gala, kyle lost his phone in here, and that set off the whole chain of events that became a nightmare.

Jack: I’m sorry, I did not mean to bring all that up. That is over now. Good fortune is on our side from here on out.

Diane: And, I– I know, and I– I– I do feel fortunate. But jack, I just worry about what this has done to kyle and summer. I mean, I– I watch them, I listen, and they don’t seem to be connected. It’s like they’re living separate lives.

Jack: None of this has been easy for either of them. None of this has been easy for us. What with phyllis alive, and you out from under these charges, I’m hoping that life can get back to some semblance of normal. All of the stress will start to slowly go away and that will be better for everyone. Summer and kyle included. And we will be there for them, but until then, tonight, this is about you. About your courage, about your strength. It’s a celebration of you. So, where do we go now?

Diane: I think I’m going back to the bar to get my drink. I’ll be right back.

Summer: Oh, hey!

Kyle: Hey.

Summer: Let me help you with that. I was about to come find you.

Kyle: Yeah. Harrison and the nanny are out catching fireflies by the pool house.

Summer: Mmm.

Kyle: So nice seeing him excited and carefree and laughing. It’s almost as if the kid notices a burden has been lifted off of this house. Oh, uh, look, I’m sorry. I know it must be hard for you, celebrating a homecoming of sorts, knowing your mother’s still out there.

Summer: I need to go out.

Kyle: Again?

Summer: Yeah, I need to talk to daniel.

Kyle: Okay, can’t it wait ’til morning?

Summer: No, he just dropped off lucy at the airport, so he’s got time right now.

Kyle: Summer, it’s late. My parents will be home soon.

Summer: Look, things have been a mess between me and daniel. I mean, you’ve seen it. We’re so angry at each other and I know that my mom would hate that, so I just feel like while we’re waiting to see her, it’s– it’s one of the only things that we can do, is clear up the animosity between us. I mean, you can understand that, right?

Kyle: Look, I’m all for you resolving your issues with daniel.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: I’m sorry, I know that I’ve hurt you. The way that I’ve shut down and shut you out, and… I really am so sorry, I know… I believe that you’re on my side, even if I don’t deserve it.

Kyle: Why would you say that? Of course you do.

Summer: I love you.

Kyle: I love you, too. And I will always be on your side. And I will be waiting here when you get back. Unless you want me to come with you.

Summer: No! Uh… I mean you should– you should stay here and celebrate with your folks. I mean, your family is healing, and the least I can do is try to do the same for mine.

Sharon: I’m sure you have enough going on without babysitting me. You missed all those calls from sally. Is she okay?

Nick: Yeah, uh… news isn’t great. Apparently, sally’s at risk for pre-eclampsia.

Sharon: Nick, that’s serious.

Nick: I know. So she’s gonna scale back her work, and, uh, try and take it easy. A lot more rest. Get on the meds, and uh… lot of monitoring.

Sharon: Maybe you should go and be with her right now.

Nick: Ah, she’s home. She’s safe now. I’ll feel a lot better when I get you home. You know, with cameron kirsten on the loose, we all have to be on defcon one right now.

Sharon: Still can’t believe he approached faith, and it’s totally my fault.

Nick: Why would you say that?

Sharon: Because when cameron delivered that cigar box to the front porch, faith was there. I could have warned her, right then, what was going on, to be careful. Maybe then, she would have run the other direction when cameron approached her in the park. I thought that I was protecting her. I was… leaving her to be vulnerable.

Nick: Well, she knows now.

Sharon: I told her about everything that happened with cameron after you and chance left.

Nick: Well, I’m sure that wasn’t easy, but faith needed to know. She needed the truth. We all have to have our eyes wide open right now.

Sharon: Every time I open the door, I’m afraid I’m gonna run into another one of cameron’s sick gifts. And I have a feeling his head games are just getting started.

Diane: Thank you.

Cameron: Shouldn’t leave your drink unattended like that.

Diane: Excuse me?

Cameron: Your martini. It’s been sitting there for a while. You shouldn’t do that. Any kind of creep could come along, drop something in it. No one would notice. You got no idea what some people will do.

Diane: I think it’s okay.

Cameron: Just saying. You can’t trust anybody.

Diane: Well, I– I think I can trust anyone here. I come here all the time, with– with my husband, and between the two of us, we know everyone in this room.

Cameron: Do you know me?

Diane: Excuse me, I’m going back to the table with my husband.

[ Diane sighing ] Do you mind mixing another one of these for me?

Cameron: Smart move. Family is just very important.

Jack: So, you think this guy touched your drink?

Diane: Well, I– I don’t know, it was just kind of disturbing.

Jack: You didn’t recognize him at all?

Diane: Well, he looked familiar.

Jack: Incoming.

Diane: Mm-hmm.

Victor: How’d you do it?

Nikki: Yes, how did you do it, diane? I mean, michael is a good attorney, but even he can’t get you off on murder charges. You must’ve lied through your teeth to convince them to let you free.

Diane: Didn’t need to lie, nikki. I’m innocent.

[ Nikki scoffing ]

Jack: Summer!

Diane: What’s she doing here?

Victor: Join us, sweetheart.

Daniel: Thank you.

Summer: I know where she is.

Daniel: How is she?

Summer: She’s not turning herself in. I know that much. Not until we can be sure that she can get her life back.

Daniel: Okay. Okay, so, wh– what’s the plan? What do we do?

Summer: There’s no “we,” daniel. I told you that she’s safe. That’s all that you need to know. I’m handling this on my own, without your special brand of help.

Daniel: Is this you, mom?

Nick: The idea of that creep, cameron, being anywhere near faith, or you?

Sharon: Nick, promise me that you won’t do anything.

Nick: You mean like throw his ass out of an airplane again?

Sharon: You know I… blocked all those memories out, for years, but… lately, they’ve been coming back to me. I know that I was young and stupid, but I’m still ashamed of what I did.

Nick: You were confused. And hurt.

Sharon: My choices brought that madman into our lives. If you hadn’t saved me from cameron’s plane that night…

Nick: It all worked out. And we’re gonna beat him this time, too.

Sharon: I was terrified. I was afraid of you finding out what cameron did. I was afraid of going to the police, and it just made everything so much worse.

Nick: Yeah. When I found out what he did to you… I wanted to break him in half. But not this time. I’m so much smarter now, so we’re gonna– we’re gonna let the police handle it. Along with chance, they will make sure he ends up back in prison. Speaking of which, have you heard from chance?

Sharon: Uh, no.

Nick: Well, you know cameron’s not who he was either. He may have all his millions, but he’s got a record now. That means he’s not untouchable.

Sharon: You know what scares me?

Nick: What?

Sharon: I don’t think he cares. For copd, ask your doctor about breztri. 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. Are you tired of clean clothes that just don’t smell clean?

Diane: Are you meeting kyle here?

Summer: No, I’m here to see daniel. Diane, I… heard the news.

Victor: Well, this must be hell of a shock to you. Diane jenkins, allowed to go free?

Nikki: As if you weren’t grieving enough. But don’t worry, it’s only a matter of time before the authorities realize they made a mistake and she’ll be back in that ankle monitor.

Victor: What is that look all about?

Summer: Everyone’s gonna find out anyway.

Nikki: Find out what, darling?

Summer: My mom’s alive.

Nikki: What?

Victor: What do you mean, your mom’s alive?

Summer: She’s alive. She contacted daniel. She told him everything, that she was in this really vulnerable place and stark manipulated her into marrying him and then faking her death to frame diane for murder.

Nikki: Oh! Well, of course he did. He’s a very evil man.

Diane: Oh, really?

Victor: Where’s phyllis now?

Summer: I don’t know. She’s on the run. She’s the one that killed stark.

Nikki: My god!

Summer: It was self-defense! It was, I mean, mom realized what a huge mistake she mad and she wanted to come home, but stark, he wouldn’t let her. He attacked her and she had to– and now she’s just– she’s terrified. She’s afraid of the charges that she might be facing.

Nikki: This is unbelievable. I– I’m so sorry you have to go through this.

Summer: I have to hold on to the fact that my mom’s alive, you know? And for the rest of it, that’s why I’m here to see daniel. We’ve gotta figure out what– what comes next.

Victor: What comes next? So, the woman has the guts to come face you and your brother, and then face the music, the consequence of her actions.

Summer: Grandpa, it’s– it’s really complicated. I– look, I gotta go. I gotta go meet daniel, I’m sorry.

Nikki: Darling, if there’s anything that we can do, please call.

Victor: Okay, sweetheart.

Summer: Thank you. Thanks.

Nikki: Oh, poor summer.

Diane: Mmm.

Victor: This is stunning. Always alive, while letting her children think that she’s dead. They mourn over her. Who the hell would do that?

Nikki: I’m sure I wouldn’t know, but that is diane’s area of expertise. Are you pleased with yourself? You pushed phyllis to the edge, and this is the outcome.

Diane: You think this is my fault?

Nikki: It wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t come back to town–

Jack: Nikki, truth and justice won here.

Diane: You know, it’s kind of ironic. Phyllis tried to frame me for murder, and yet, she actually committed one.

Jack: I’m sure you both came here for a peaceful drink together?

Victor: You bet.

Jack: Good. Have a good evening.

Diane: Get your card. Good. Good night.

Phyllis: Ah, there you are. Come in.

Summer: How did you know that I was out there?

Phyllis: Finally! I’ve been waiting for hours, summer.

Summer: No, you have not been waiting for hours, and mom, I thought that we agreed that you wouldn’t text me when I would be with kyle.

Phyllis: Well, there are more important things than tiptoeing around kyle, summer–

Summer: Oh, because everything is about you right now?

Phyllis: No, it’s about you and your brother, actually.

Summer: It’s not about me and my brother. This is about you wanting to see daniel, right? But mom, we already had this conversation. I already told you. And I told you why you can’t see daniel, because if he saw you, if he knew where you were, he would go straight to the police, because he is all about the truth, and you would go to jail, so no, you can’t see daniel!

Phyllis: About that…

[ Knocking on door ]

Summer: Oh, my god, are you serious right now?

Phyllis: Might be too late.

Daniel: Hello?

Phyllis: Oh.

Summer: No, you’ve gotta be kidding me.

Phyllis: Okay, I didn’t want to make things worse.

Summer: How could it get any worse than it is right now?

Phyllis: You and your brother are at odds. This is my fault, summer. I had to take matters into my own hands.

Daniel: Hello?

Summer: I guess I’ll get it.

Daniel: Summer. What are you doing here? Wha– what the hell is going on? Did you send me this weird text?

Phyllis: I did.

Nick: You know what? I don’t want to talk about cameron anymore. In fact, I’m going to proclaim this a cameron-free zone. So, let’s clean up this place, and then I will take you home. So what else can I do to speed up this process?

Sharon: Um, how about… sugar duty?

Nick: Sugar duty. Does that mean I get first pick of the day-old muffins?

Sharon: You know the drill. RefillS.

Nick: Right. It’s like riding a bike. If I was the sugar, where would I be?

Sharon: In the back. Top shelf, left.

Nick: Top shelf, left.

Sharon: And I am going to grab the sugar containers from the patio.

Nick: All right. She found it. Dealdash.Com the fair and honest bidding site. This kitchenaid mixer sold for less than $26. This I-pad sold for less than $43. And this playstation 5 sold for less than a dollar. Go to dealdash.Com right now and see how much you can save.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Jack: This is it. The room where your future changed in an instant.

Diane: I was so happy that night, the… happiest I’d ever been. I was engaged and loved. Dancing in your arms. Excited about our future, and then… then jeremy bumped into you, and phyllis collapsed and just… everything changed.

[ Diane exhaling ]

Jack: You’ve done the work. You came here, you faced your past. Now, let me take you outta here, huh?

Diane: Dance with me.

[ Piano playing]

Daniel: Mom.

Phyllis: Oh, my god. God. Shh. Shh. My son. Oh, daniel. Are you okay?

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Phyllis: Are you all right?

Daniel: Yeah.

Phyllis: Okay.

Daniel: Yeah, I mean, you know, knowing you were alive was one thing, but… seeing you…

Phyllis: See, this is good. This is good. Okay? I was right to do this, summer. Everything’s gonna be okay.

Summer: On what planet, mom?

Phyllis: Okay, listen. I’m gonna tell you what I told your sister, okay? I am so sorry for what I did to you, and I promise you, I’m gonna spend the rest of my life making it up to you, every single day.

Daniel: You could have ended this weeks ago at the memorial service, but instead, you let us grieve? You chose to walk away, you chose revenge over your family.

Phyllis: No. No, I was confused.

Daniel: No, the choice seems pretty clear to me.

Phyllis: Okay, listen. I admitted I’m wrong, okay? And I am. And you know what? The memorial service, that made me see how wrong I was, and I saw how important I was to you and your sister. And you drew that beautiful portrait of me. That gorgeous portrait of me just showed how much you love me.

Daniel: I painted that portrait memory because that was my way of trying to keep you alive. I mean, you were– you were there the whole time.

Phyllis: I know. I loved that portrait. But you know what it did for me? It made me realize how much you love me and it gave me strength. And you know what, babe? You know what? That’s why I couldn’t throw it away.

Summer: You did throw it away, though. And chance found it. That’s how he got your dna. There’s an apb out for you. The murder charges against diane have been dropped.

Cameron: I didn’t mean to startle you.

Sharon: We’re closed. And you’re not welcome.

Cameron: I’ve imagined this moment so many times.

Sharon: If you want to have a conversation, try tomorrow at the police station. I will meet you there. Or not. Now, go.

Cameron: All that fire. God, you still burn bright, don’t you?

Sharon: You need to leave, cameron. I mean it.

Cameron: I miss the way you say my name. Come on. We had some good times, didn’t we?

Sharon: No. We did not. Now, get out.

Cameron: I’ve never forgotten one single thing about you, sharon. Your mind. That mouth on you. The way you knew how to use it. God knows I tried to forget. I prayed to forget, but it was impossiblE.

Sharon: Why are you here? Want a smarter way to mop?

Nikki: As angry as I am at phyllis for what she’s put daniel and summer through, diane is right up there. Her insufferable gloating.

Victor: Oh, uh–

Nikki: And now she’s free to wreak havoc on the town again.

Victor: Well, now, that’s jack abbott’s problem, so just… ignore her.

Nikki: Nope, I can’t do that. And she has jack so besotted, he doesn’t know which way is up. I’ll tell you this. Once they are married, we all better watch out because she will use jack’s name to open as many doors as she can and begin her reign of terror.

[ Piano playing ]

Jack: Hey. You okay?

Diane: Very.

Phyllis: Wow. Diane got out from under the charges. Amazing. Well, she got away with it again.

Daniel: She’s innocent. I mean, the person that she supposedly killed is very much alive. I’m– I’m standing here looking at her.

Phyllis: Diane is looking at a fairytale life and I am looking at a huge mess.

Daniel: A mess you created, mom.

Phyllis: I told you, I regret it.

Daniel: Do you regret it because what you did was wrong, or because your plan fell apart?

Summer: Daniel, can you just stop? We need to focus on what we do to get out of this that doesn’t involve telling the police that we know where mom is.

Daniel: Okay, no, no, no, no. The sneaking around needs to end.

Summer: Not with mom behind bars.

Daniel: So what do we do? We just don’t say anything?

Summer: Yes, for now.

Daniel: What about kyle?

Summer: My god, can you just leave him out of this?

Daniel: No, I can’t leave him out of this, summer. He’s your husband, and he loves you, and he’s worried about you. He deserves to know.

Summer: He will know. When the time is right.

Daniel: Oh, when the time is right. What’s that timetable look like, huh? Do you think that your marriage is gonna survive it?

Summer: It’s better than just telling the police to help themselves to our mom!

Phyllis: Stop it! Stop it, I mean it. Stop. I won’t have this. Look what I’ve done to our family. We should not be at odds. We love each other, we fight, but we protect each other. Listen, I can’t put you guys through this. I have to take care of this on my own. Seriously. I mean, just disappear and take care of it on my own.

Summer: No, I’m not gonna let you do that!

Daniel: No. No, no, no.

Phyllis: I– I have to. Look what I’ve done to you. Now, you’re accessories to a crime? You could get into a lot of trouble!

Summer: Protect our loved ones at all costs. That’s what you taught me, mom, so that is what we’re gonna do. Right?

Daniel: Whatever it takes.

Phyllis: Really? Are you sure?

Daniel: I love you, mom.

Summer: I love you.

[ Phyllis exhaling ]

Phyllis: I love you. Want a hug? Or you have boundaries, I know.

Cameron: That’s it? That’s your only question, why am I here? Aren’t you a little curious about, I don’t know, maybe, um… how I’ve been, where I’ve been, what I’ve been doin’ 24 hours a day, day in, day out for the last 20 years? ‘Cause I’ve sure as hell been curious about you. Maybe that’s why I’m here. Curiosity. Look, I know we had our problems, but nobody ever touched me the way you did. What we shared… come on, that connection was real. And I know you felt it. I liked it.

Nick: Hey! You get away from her. You stay away from everyone in my family. That’s me before dawn powerwash.

[ Piano playing ]

Jack: I have never seen you more beautiful more radiant and more alive.

Diane: That’s because I’m about to spend the rest of my life with the love of my life.

Jack: I promised you the wedding of your dreams. Have you made any decisions? Destination wedding, something closer to home? Barefoot on the beach? Five stars, the whole works?

Diane: I don’t care if we have fireworks and a parade or we just go down to the justice of the peace. I just want to be your wife, jack. The sooner, the better.

Phyllis: So, christine put out an apb on me. Wow, she must be loving this. You know, she’s not gonna be happy until she sees me in handcuffs, walking into that police station with the cameras rolling.

Daniel: Well, you were pretty horrible to her back in the day.

Phyllis: I wasn’T.

Summer: Can we focus? We have another situation.

Phyllis: What is it?

Summer: I told grandma and grandpa that you’re alive, and about stark.

Phyllis: Summer! Victor and nikki? Why’d you do that?

Summer: Because they were downstairs in the dining room, and jack and diane were there.

Phyllis: Oh, really? Was diane having a victory meal? Was she– I mean, I shouldn’t feel bad because she’s living her life free and clear, blah, blah, blah, right?

Daniel: So you told them, but you didn’t tell kyle?

Summer: Daniel, you’re the one that already told everyone, so yeah, I just– I would rather them hear it from me.

Phyllis: So you know what this means, huh? I mean, victor is gonna get his personal security on me. I mean, they’ll find me immediately. I– I should just turn myself in.

Daniel: That would be the right thing to do.

Summer: Oh, my god, stop with the whole “right thing.” The right thing is to protect our mom until we can clear her of stark’s murder.

Phyllis: I agree with summer on that, daniel.

Daniel: Cool. Great. You agree with summer on that. Do you have a plan, then?

Phyllis: I actually do. So, I hacked in to all of stark’s personal records and accounts. I just need to find a paper trail to show what a horrible person he was. He was gonna keep me as a prisoner in that room, daniel. He was gonna keep me as a prisoner. Honestly, it was his life or mine!

Daniel: Did you have any luck with it?

Phyllis: I need to find the emt. His name is carson. That’s why we need all the help we can get.

Summer: Unless your conscience is gonna be a problem, daniel?

Daniel: Okay, look. Things are moving fast, so we need to get out ahead of them. First order of business, finding you a different place to hide. We need some place isolated, and some place that’s a hell of a lot safer than here. Summer. Any ideas?

Summer: I need to sleep on it. I’ve been gone for way too long, and you know what? I gotta go. I don’t want kyle to worry about me, so I’m gonna check in with you both in the morning.

Kyle: What the hell?

Cameron: Hey, slick. Long time, no see. I’m guessing you haven’t missed me about as much as I haven’t missed you.

Nick: You better get outta here before I tear you apart.

Sharon: Nick…

Cameron: Always a hothead. Hey. Nothin’ to see here, boss. Just stopped in to say hi. Hi. Hi. Oh. You know, I ran into your daughter, faith.

Nick: Now, you watch your mouth.

Cameron: Polite little girl. And such a little beauty. Just like her mama.

Nick: You don’t talk about her, you don’t even say her name.

Cameron: No, I come in peace, man. You’re threatenin’ violence?

Nick: Oh, that’s not a threat. That’s a promise.

[ Cameron whistling ]

Cameron: You really hold a grudge.

Nick: What do you want?

Cameron: Oh. That’s for another time, nicholas. Y’all have a nice night. Hmm.

[ Sharon sobbing ]

Announcer: Next week, on the young and the restless.

Kyle: How long have you known phyllis was alive?

Victor: You realize that a move like that would put you in direct competition with newman media?

Adam: Exactly.

Sharon: Stay close, and be careful.

Faith: I will.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Dramatic music ]

Deacon: Is it really that farfetched? You and me back together again? I mean, think about it. Remember in the beginning, how much passion there was? Hell, it was chemical. That’s how hope got here.

Brooke: I’m aware.

Deacon: Maybe this is our time, our chance to be a real family.

Brooke: You and I have a very special friendship and we share a remarkable daughter. And I really am flattered that you want to see where this could go, but where is all of this coming from?

Taylor: What if– what if

everything works out

and you have a future with

brooke and hope has her family

back together?

You’re the key to breaking us

out of this terrible,

toxic cycle.

Ridge: What is– what is happening right now?

Taylor: I don’t knoW.

Ridge: I don’t know either. Are you– are you happy? Are you sad? Are you–

Taylor: I am– I am happy and sad. It’s everything that we were just talking about. The– the life we shared, our kids. It just got to me.

Ridge: Okay.

Hope: Oh.

Rj: Oh, I’m so sorry. I totally– I thought I locked that.

Hope: Yeah, sure. I bet you were hoping it would be one of the modelS.

Rj: Well, I was just upstairs using the gym. I don’t know, I thought I’d pick out a clean shirt.

Hope: Yeah. You know, you gotta keep fit for all those likes.

Rj: Oh, yeah. Can you tell?

Hope: Okay. All right. Pick out a shirt.

Rj: I mean, I’ve been really trying to live a healthy lifestyle. Go to the gym all the time. I mean, I feel like I have to if I’m gonna be in front of the camera.

Hope: YeaH. No, I– I get it. You know, you’re in the public eye. Perception is everything, right or wrong. Uh, first impressions do matter.

Rj: Yeah, I mean, image is important, but you already knew that, miss hope for the future. I actually wanted to talk to you. I’m glad I ran into you. I wanna talk about something.

Hope: Yeah. Sure. What’s up?

Rj: I know that mom and taylor are friends now and that’s great. I– I support it, obviously. But, how do you think mom’s really doing?

Brooke: I am touched, really. And this isn’t the first time that you’ve expressed these feelings, interested in sharing a future together. And I’m just curious why you think it’s a real possibility now. Is it because ridge is living with eric?

Deacon: You know what– you know what? Just– just forget it. The last thing I wanted to do was make you feel uncomfortable.

Brooke: No, I’m not feeling uncomfortable. I mean, like I said, I am touched. It’s just–

Deacon: No, brooke. Look, you’re all about ridge, you always will be and I know that, and I know you. I was stupid for listening to someone else.

Brooke: What are you saying? Did somebody put you up to this?

Taylor: Everything is going so wonderful for our family. Steffy and finn and the grandkids are all happy and healthy and thomas is just living his best life.

Ridge: Thomas is on fire right now. His collection’s amazing. And he’s taking it to italy.

Taylor: That’s so exciting. I love– I love that you guys– I– I wish that I could go.

Ridge: You could go to rome?

Taylor: I, well, I mean, for thomas, you know, it’s such a– such a big moment for him and I’d love to be there to support thomas and steffy and… and you.

[Stomach growling]

Hope: You’re a good son.

Rj: Where did that come from?

Hope: I don’t know. It’s just the way you’re concerned about mom.

Rj: I don’t know. I mean, she’s been through so much recently and if something is wrong, I just, you know, I wanna help her if I can.

Hope: Well, i don’t think there’s any reason to worry. I mean, I know I’ve been preoccupied with the relaunch in rome, but I think I would know if something was off.

Rj: Does she spend like a lot of time with taylor or…

Hope: They’ve become really close.

Rj: That’s so crazy to me. It’s gonna take me so long to get used to that. I’m still waiting for like the punch line.

Hope: I– I get it. I get it.

Rj: Can I ask you something? Do you think this whole truce is actually gonna hold up?

Hope: I think mom and taylor are really committed to the pact that they made. And I think they enjoy each other’s company. I think they actually have a lot of fun together. So, if I were a betting woman, I– I would say that this friendship might actually last.

Rj: Well, that’s good. I mean, I’m glad mom has a friend.

Hope: But?

Rj: But is that enough?

Hope: Meaning?

Rj: All the feelings that my mom’s had for my dad? I mean, is she gonna be okay without him?

Ridge: It almost seems like someone is angling for a free trip to rome.

Taylor: No, I just– I mean, I happen to know some people with a private jet.

Ridge: Well…

Taylor: It’s no, it, I– I mean, I would take– I would take any opportunity to go to rome. I– I love it there, but this is such a– such a big moment for our son, you know? Hope for the future is gonna be the– his crowning achievement. I mean, I– I, of course, I want to go there and support him and– and– and be there.

Ridge: I get it. I think it would mean a lot to him.

Taylor: Yeah. You know, I’ve always– I’ve always thought of rome as this, just really happy place that’s just filled with love. Kind of like our family.

Brooke: Did somebody encourage you to reach out to me? Somebody that wants to see us together?

Deacon: I did not say that.

Brooke: Well, you kind of did. I said that you shouldn’t listen to anybody about me.

Deacon: I was projecting into the future, like if somebody were at some point to give me advice.

Brooke: Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Good one. Yeah. But I don’t buy it. I think you’re protecting somebody and I know who it is. So, do you want to say her name or should I? It was hope. I’m right, aren’t I? Don’t worry, I’m gonna have a chat with our daughter.

Deacon: Please. Brooke. You got this all wrong.

Brooke: No, I don’T. No, it’s cute, actuallY. It’s cute that she wants her parents together. It’s just a little bit misguided. I mean, she is a grown woman. She has a life of her own. She’s very busy. She needs to focus on her line right now, not on our love life. So, don’t worry, I am– I’m gonna set her straight.

Deacon: Brooke, stop. Look, stop. It’s not hope.

Brooke: If it’s not hope, who is it? Tell me, deacon. If you’re taking an antidepressant

Hope: Have you ever considered that mom might actually enjoy being single? I mean, relationships can be a lot of work, and this– this might be easier. I mean, becoming friends with taylor, keeping their distance from ridge. I mean, it actually might be a healthy change of pace for everyone.

Rj: Yeah. No, it’s definitely a lot different than when we were growing up.

Hope: It certainly was an emotional roller coaster for all of us, but it was especially hard for mom.

Rj: I remember dad would just build her up and make her feel on top of the world and then just break her heart into a million pieces. I tried to close myself off from all of that and stay away from it all the best I could. It was– it was hard. But hey, you know what? It is what it is and you do what you gotta do. And luckily, I had you to normalize everything because without you, that would’ve been very difficult and I hope I’ve expressed to you how much that meant to me, right?

Hope: Oh, you just did.

Rj: You know what? Maybe you’re right. Maybe I’m overthinking all of this. I mean, maybe– maybe mom’s just, she’s ready to be alone and she’s just had enough. It’s just, there’s something– something just doesn’t sit right with me, with her choosing a friendship with taylor over spending the rest of her life with my dad.

Ridge: You, steffy, thomas, you mean the world to me. You know that, right? My beautiful little family.

Taylor: We did good.

Ridge: We did good. We did better than good. We did great.

Taylor: Yeah. We have– we have been through it, haven’t we? Seriously, ridge. We have– we have been on such a journey. And I– I don’t really regret much of it. I– I really don’t, especially the early years that we were together.

Ridge: Hm.

Taylor: I miss us. I– I miss– I miss the times that we shared. I– damn it. I hate that I do, but I– I miss it. And I can’t help but– but– but wonder and think could we– could we ever share those– those things again?

Brooke: Somebody encouraged you to reach out to me. And if it wasn’t hope…

Deacon: It wasn’T.

Brooke: Hm. Well, then who could it be? Okay, this is kind of random, but maybe it’s hollis? ‘Cause you know, I had that date with him. But I pretty much told him it wasn’t gonna go anywhere. But you’re his boss and you’re his friend, he probably just wanted to step aside and clear the path for you.

Deacon: It wasn’t hollis.

Brooke: No? So, if it wasn’t hope and it wasn’t hollis.

Deacon: I’m sorry to cut this short, but duty calls. I gotta get back to the kitchen. It’s always great to see you, but could you do me a favor and just– just forget this? Just– just wipe it, okay.

Brooke: Deacon, wait. This person that wanted to see us together… it– it couldn’t be, it wouldn’t be taylor, right? Oh, my god. Taylor did this? Taylor? Sweet pillows of softness! getting this?

Brooke: So, taylor asked you to come to me and express your feelings and see if we could have a future together.

Deacon: She thought she was helping me.

Brooke: Helping you? I trusted taylor to keep her word. We made a pact, deacon.

Taylor: We will never

fight over ridge again.

Cheers.

Brooke: And I thought our friendship meant as much to her as it did to me.

Deacon: Hey, hey, I know for a fact that’s true.

Brooke: Oh, really? And when did she share that with you? In between pushing us together?

Deacon: Brooke, it wasn’t like that.

Brooke: Well, then what was it like? Really, I’m curious. And when did you two get so close where she can feel like she’s comfortable enough to share love advice with you?

Deacon: First of all, it wasn’t advice. It was more like a suggestion. You know, just telling me that I should put my cards on the table, again. And secondly, we’re not close. She came into the restaurant. We just started talking.

Brooke: Okay, so she came here for a meal?

Deacon: No.

Brooke: No. She came here specifically to talk to you and I know why. And that really hurts because we made a pact and it was about us. We chose ourselves, we chose each other. We chose our friendship, that we weren’t gonna fight over ridge anymore. And now, look, it’s happening all over again, deacon.

Deacon: I’m so sorry about this. Hey, your friendship with her is amazing. Please don’t– don’t let it end over a stupid misunderstanding.

Brooke: Don’T. We both know why taylor’s doing this. I gotta go. It’s time for me to unfriend a friend.

Hope: Here’s what I think. I think you can reach a point in your relationship where the old patterns and the old way of doing things, they just– they don’t work anymore. But, I think a part of mom will always love ridge.

Deacon: I warned you, taylor.

Taylor: I miss the little things. I miss the way that you– you look through me, right into my soul.

Ridge: But I thought you’d–

Taylor: I– I have stayed away, ridge. I have stayed away with false bravado, convincing myself I was done.

Ridge: And your friendship with brooke?

Taylor: Yes, the vow that we made, friendship first. But I don’t think that brooke has held up her end of the bargain very well when it comes to you. But I don’t know. Maybe, you know, neither one of us can pretend that the– the heart doesn’t want what it wants and I think about you all the time. I– I– I think about falling asleep in your arms and waking up next to you. I just miss the little things, the simple things. I miss you. But I’ve stayed away. I have been so committed to this stupid bestie pact, but brooke hasn’T. She’s been doing the same thing that she’s always done. She’s breaking vows. No honesty, no integrity. She hasn’t changed, ridge. She’s doing the same thing that she’s done before. She’s the same person. Don’t fall for it. Not again.

[ Intercom buzzes ]

Ridge: Yes.

Eric: Ridge, I need to see

you, right away.

Ridge: Okay.

Taylor: This is awkward. Just– just go ridge.

Ridge: I’ll be back.

[ Door slamming ]

Brooke: How could you do this, taylor? How could you do this? We made a pact. A pact. I have never felt more betrayed in my life. You– you are a traitor. You are a backstabbing traitor.

Tucker: Yeah, I almost did. For our grandson.

Ashley: I thought Dominic’s music class was over an hour ago.

Tucker: We had a little jam session afterwards.

Ashley: The two of you?

Tucker: Yes. Him on drums, me on xylophone.

Ashley: Sorry I missed that. I’m sure it was pretty cute.

Tucker: It was. I’m telling you, man, he is a prodigy. And, uh, if our fake engagement becomes in a legit wedding, then I think he– he needs a better gig than ring bearer. He should be, uh, you know, the headliner of the band.

Adam: I, um, I had to come back. (Wheezing)

Chloe: And under strict orders from me. Do not stress and not think about work because I’ve got us covered. Which reminds me, I need to get to that meeting at the office furniture showroom. Um, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but, um, I’m happy that you’re here so I can pass the baton.

Adam: Uh, baton accepted.

Chloe: And I heard you stepped up today. So, um, you know, I’m– I’m glad that you’re doing the right thing.

Adam: I’m– I’m glad Sally felt that way.

Chloe: Okay. Um, listen, do not stress out. You call me if you need anything and that is an order.

Sally: Thank you.
