Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Brady wanted to know why Theresa was in Salem. She said she was there to pay her respects to Victor. Brady reminded her that they weren’t close. She told him that she had a breakthrough before she left town. She said Victor told her that he was proud of her. Brady talked to her about helping Xander when he abandoned Chloe. She said she would always hate Xander for being the reason why they weren’t together anymore. Brady told her that Xander wasn’t responsible for them breaking up. Her lying is the reason why they aren’t together anymore. She agreed with him, but she wants to give their relationship another chance. She kissed him. He enjoyed the kiss until he came to his senses. He didn’t think it was a good idea. Theresa told him they were single, and they should consider giving their relationship another shot. Brady turned her down and told her that it wouldn’t happen. He asked her to leave. John wanted Marlena to tell him about the case she wanted him and Steve to work on. She told him about the man at the hospital. She wanted them to find out who he is. She also told him about the son he wanted to find. She gave him details about the guy. They thought he might have been a veteran. John suggested running his prints through a military database to find out who he is. Marlena got a call from Harris so she had to leave.

John and Steve investigated the mystery man. John decided to call the VA hospital. They found out that a patient was missing. They wanted to find out more about it so they went to the VA hospital. They talked to the administrator to get some information about the man. They found out the man’s name was Joseph Bell. The administrator gave John and Steve access to Joseph’s military records. John was surprised to find out Joseph Bell served in the same unit in Korea as his birth father. Harris wanted to know if Ava was still seeing Susan. He wanted to know what she was saying. Ava told him and swore to him that she didn’t know what Susan was talking about. Marlena arrived and offered to hypnotize Ava. Marlena wanted Harris to leave them alone so they could get started. Marlena walked her through the night of the accident. Harris came back in the room after they were finished. Ava told him that she didn’t remember anything new. Marlena apologized for not being able to help her. She said that she had to leave. After Marlena left, she told Harris that she lied to Marlena. She said that Susan was still alive. EJ had a dream about his mother. She wanted to know why he didn’t avenge her death. He went to Xander’s place with his gun. He told Xander that he couldn’t stop thinking about his mother’s death. Xander said it was Ava’s fault. EJ told him that he agreed with him and wanted him to kill her. He offered to pay Xander for killing Ava. EJ thought he owed it to his mother to take care of Ava. Xander thought EJ was setting him up. He turned down EJ’s offer. EJ was going to make Xander pay with Ava. EJ called someone and told the person to kill Ava and Xander.

Transcript provided by and proofread by Suzanne

[ Soft dramatic music ]

Harris: Hey, you.

Ava: Hey.

Harris: Um, missed you at breakfast, and you’ve missed out on my news.

Ava: Oh,  it good news.

Harris: Well, after I told Dr. Evans about your visions of Susan. She, uh– she agreed to help you.

Ava: Did she?

Harris: Well, I thought you’d be more excited.

Ava: Yeah, look, I really appreciate you going to bat for me, Harris. I– just, I changed my mind. I don’t want to talk about Susan Banks. I would just prefer to forget that she ever existed.

[ footsteps approaching ]

EJ: Mother? [ Gasps] Oh, I can’t believe this! [ Laughing ]

[ Susan squeals ]

EJ: My God, I’ve missed you so much!

[ Both laughing ]

Susan: You know what? Have you, son? Hmm? For real?

EJ: Of course. Wh– What do you mean?

Susan: Well, you know, you don’t seem terribly upset that– uh, about my sticking untimely death. Yeah? I mean, you were all cuddled up there on that couch, sleeping like a baby.  [ Laughs ]

EJ: What?

[ Dramatic musical sting ]

[ somber music ]

EJ: [ Sighs ]

Brady: Theresa.

Theresa: Brady, you will never believe the fight I had. I was sitting next to this five-year-old who may or may not have been an actual, real life gremlin. I mean, the kid was throwing an epic tantrum for three hours straight. I swear, I thought I was going to have to give him one of my sleeping pills.

Brady: Yeah, I don’t– I don’t understand.

Theresa: Well, it was a joke, Brady. I wouldn’t drug a kid.

Brady: No,No. No– I don’t understand what you’re doing here. Why are you in Salem?

Marlena: Thanks.

John: Okay, so what’s this new case you have for us? [ Chuckles ]

Marlena: Well, I met a very interesting man at the hospital today.

John: And how interesting are we talking about?

Marlena: Oh, stop. He’s in his 90s.

John: [ Laughs ] Okay. All right. Go on.

Marlena: Well, he was– he was found wandering on the side of the road. And after Kayla had checked him out, she asked if I would take a look at him.

John: Mm hmm.

Steve: And how’d he seem?

Marlena: He, um– well, his cognitive skills are quite good. But his long- and short-term memory, um… well, almost nonexistent. He’s not exactly sure of his own identity.

John: Yeah, I been there.

Steve: So, I’m guessing you want us to figure out who he is.

Marlena: Yes. And also try to figure out who his long-lost son is.

Julie: Excuse me, is that seat taken?

Joe: It is now.

Julie: Thank you.  Ah. Well, my husband stubbed his toe on the coffee table. So, we thought we’d better get an X-ray to make sure it’s not broken. Uh, his toe, not the coffee table.

Joe: [ Laughs ]

Julie: So now I have all this paperwork.

Joe: Yeah, I’ve been waiting for some tests myself. Seems to be a backup.

Julie: Well, I’m sure we can keep each other company while we’re waiting. I’m Julie Williams.

Joe: Nice to meet you, Julie Williams.

Julie: And you are?

Joe: Well, right now, that seems to be the million dollar question.

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

Joe: And since I can’t remember who I am, everybody around here is calling me Mr. Doe.

Julie: I see. Well, I’m so sorry you’re suffering from memory loss. Do you have any idea what caused this?

Joe: Not really. Dr. Johnson says it may be from an old head injury or some kind.  Evidently, I got a really bad scar on the back of my noggin here.

Julie: Do you know what might have caused that?

Joe: No. I’m telling everybody I fought off a grizzly bear. Makes me sound kind of edgy and cool, you know.

Julie: Gee, you remind me of my Uncle Tommy. You look like you might be about the same age.

Joe: Is your Uncle Tommy cool and edgy?

Julie: Not so you’d notice. But he did suffer from memory loss, also.

Joe: Well, how?

Julie: Well, he served in Korea. He was wounded. He had to have plastic surgery. Whole new face. And he came home and just had no idea who he was.

Joe: Huh. Something about that story sounds familiar to me.

Julie: Why should it?

Joe: Maybe I’m your Uncle Tommy.

Marlena: While I was talking to him, he talked about trying to find his son. He’d had a dream about it and then he just began walking.

Steve: Walking from where?

Marlena: He wasn’t sure. He said he had some memories of a farm.

John:  A farm? 90, walking… Maybe from somewhere around Brookville. That’s the nearest rural area, right?

Marlena: That’s what I thought, but that didn’t sound familiar to him.

John: Well, Doc, we’d be happy to help the guy out, but to be honest with you, we don’t have a whole lot to go on here.

Marlena: There is one other thing. Mr. Doe said when he was trying so hard to get back to his son, he remembered that there was a lot of fighting going on.

Steve: Fighting? What kind of fighting?

Marlena: He didn’t say.

Steve: Huh.

John: Well, just a guess here, but it kind of sounds to me he might have been off fighting in a war somewhere.

Harris: I thought you wanted to talk to Dr. Evans. What– what changed?

Ava: I’m just– I’m thinking it just might all be a huge waste of time. You know, and look, I haven’t had a vision of Susan since yesterday, so maybe it’s over.

Susan: Oh, don’t be such an itty-bitty scaredy kitty. Ava, you need to tell the truth.

Ava: About what?

Harris: Ava.

Ava: Just tell me what you want me to say.

Susan: Well, isn’t it obvious, sister? You need to tell the truth about the accident.

Xander: Oh, hey, Chloe, darling. I, I assume you’re still visiting with Nicole. I was just wondering if maybe we could, you know, grab dinner in The Square afterwards and start discussing our wedding. You know, maybe talk about some potential datest. The– the guest list… Oh, for the record, Phillip is not invited. Okay, love you. Very smooth, Xander. Didn’t sound insecure about Philip at all.

[ Knock at door ]

[ Suspenseful music

Xander: What are you doing here?

Theresa: Oh, wow, you sure know how to make a girl feel welcomed.

Brady: Oh, okay. I didn’t, I didn’t mean it to sound unfriendly. I’m just wondering why all of a sudden you’re here at my doorstep.

Theresa: Isn’t it obvious? Look, I’m here to pay my respects to Victor. I mean, he’s our son’s great-grandfather.

Brady: No, I know. Um, I assume you didn’t bring Tate.

Theresa: No, no, he had school. I didn’t want him to miss class, so I came alone, for the funeral.

Brady: Right. But why? Theresa, you– you and my grandfather were never really that close at all.

Theresa: Sure. I mean, we had a scratchy relationship, but… Victor and I really had a tender breakthrough when I left with El Fideo to protect you and Tate.

[ Dramatic music ]

Victor: I hope you can get enough on El Fideo to put him behind bars. 

Theresa: Me, too.This is the only way my family, not that you care. Sorry.

Victor: Actually, I’m very proud of what you’re doing.

Theresa: [ Laughs tearfully ] Okay. Who are you and what have you done to Victor Kiriakis?

Victor: I mean it. Brady would feel the same way if he knew what you were doing to your family.

Theresa: No, he can’t know.

Victor: You’ve come a long way, Jeannie Theresa. And I want you to know no matter what happens, we’ll always consider you a part of the Kiriakis family.

Theresa: [ Sobs ]

Victor: [ Speaking Greek] Eláte píso se emás.  That means: come back to us.

Theresa: When I finally escaped from Mexico, Victor wanted you and me to be together.

Brady: That’s because he would have chosen just about anybody besides Eve. A rabid possum would have been more preferable to him.

Theresa: [ Laughs ]  Yeah.  e sure did hate my sister, didn’t he?

Brady: Yeah, he did. That’s also why he advised you to keep quiet about Chloe when you and Xander left her stranded in Mexico with El Fideo.

Theresa: Brady, that was– No, that was all Xander’s decision, okay? I had nothing to do with that. I didn’t– Wh– Xander’s the entire reason why you and I aren’t together, and… [ Sighs] Brady, I will always hate him for that.

Xander: Whoa, what th– what’s all this, then?

EJ: I’ve been thinking about my mother a lot lately, about what a wonderful and loving person she was, how much I miss her, and about how for far too long I’ve allowed her murder to go unavenged.

Xander: EJ, I understand what happened to her was a terrible tragedy, I know you’re hurting right now, but that was not my fault.  That was all Ava!  She’s the one who drove Susan off that cliff. If anyone deserves to die for what happened, it’s her.

EJ: I agree with you.

Xander: You do?

EJ: Yes, I do. Which is why I want you to kill her.

Ava: What, what do you mean, tell the truth? -I- I don’t understand. Are you talking about the night that I drove the car off the road?

Susan: Yes, of course I am. Why else would I be here?

Ava: I already told them the truth. I- I- I told them that I drove it off the road. It’s not a secret.

Harris: Ava, are you seeing Susan again?

Ava: Yeah, she’s– She’s… she’s gone.

Harris: What’d she say this time?

Ava: She keeps telling me to- to tell the truth, that I– that I’m lying about the night of the accident, but I swear to you, I don’t know what she was talking about.

Harris: Hey, you cannot do this on your own. You can’t. You should talk to Dr. Evans. I can call her right now. Just say the word.

Steve: You know, I think John is on to something. If our Mr. Doe was fighting in a war, it could explain why he was separated from his son.

John: Well, you know, if he did serve, the military would have his fingerprints on file.

Marlena: Could you access those?

John: Sure, just get his prints right up through the database.

Marlena: So sorry. Oh, oh, I’m sorry, it’s an… Gotta take this. Dr. Evans? Yes, Harris. Oh, alright, uh, uh, tell her I will be right there. Thanks. Um, I’m sorry, I’ve got to go out to, uh, to Bayview. Is it alright if I, uh, tell Kayla that you might be trying to help out our Mr. Doe?

Steve: Well, I can talk to her about that later. I think right now we can figure out another way to crack this thing.

Marlena: Alright, thanks. He’s such a darling man, my goodness. I’d like to help him track down his son.

John: Don’t worry about it, Doc. Black Patch is on the case. [ Chuckles ]

Julie: I’m sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Doe. You can’t possibly be my Uncle Tommy. Well, he passed away several years ago.

Joe: Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. Well, I guess, uh, the search for my identity is going to have to continue along with my search for my son.

Julie: You have a son?

Joe: That’s what brought me to your neck of the woods.  It’s a funny thing. I don’t remember much, but I have this feeling. He and I never met, but I just know he’s somewhere nearby.

Julie: Well, if you find your son. He’ll probably be able to help you fill in all these blanks in your life.

Joe: Mm hmm. Fingers crossed. A lot of nice people around here have offered to help me search for them, but I can’t wait to get out there and find them myself, as soon as they get that pesky CAT scan of my brain.

Julie: You know what? I have a little pull in this hospital. Why don’t I see if we can move things along?

Joe: You’d do that for me?

Julie: Well, of course I would. And I’ll check on my husband at the same time. You’ll be fine. You just sit right here, Mr. Doe.

Joe: Uncle Tommy. Korea. Why does that story sound familiar?

Doug: I don’t really need this wheelchair, you know.

Julie: I know, darling. And once we’re out of the hospital, you can dance the Shim Sham all the way to the car. But right now, there’s someone I want you to meet. Mr. Doe. This is my husband, Doug Williams. And this is a gentleman, currently known as Mr. Doe.

Doug: Mr. Doe. Pleased to meet you, sir.

Joe: Likewise.

Julie: Uh, Dr. Johnson said she’s going to send an orderly for you, or escort you to the, uh, tests.

Joe: Oh, thank you so much. You have a lovely and kind wife.

Doug: Oh, no argument there. What about you? Are you married, sir?

Joe: As a matter of fact, now that you mention it, I am. I have a wife.

[ Doug chuckles ]

Steve: Well, Brookville PD has no missing persons reports that match our Mr. Doe.

John: Of course not. It would have been too easy.

Steve: Well, you know what? We can keep checking, uh, nearby towns, huh? If he was walking and it took him a couple of days, I’d give it a radius of, say, 30 miles?

John: Mm hmm. Maybe we can narrow it down even more. If he was a veteran, maybe he was being treated at a VA hospital.

Steve: Well, look at you, Poker Face.

John: Nearest VA hospital. Got it. Hello, this is John Black. I’m a private detective. I got a question for you. I was wondering if you have had any patients that have come up missing in the last couple days or so? I see. And what could you tell me about him?

Marlena: So when you see Susan, she tells you that you’re not being honest about what happened the night that she was killed.

Ava: Yeah, but I don’t know why. I feel like I’ve told the whole story.

Marlena: Well, maybe there’s something deep in your subconscious. Um, you know, we could– we could try hypnosis if you want to see what might be there.

Ava: Let’s give it a shot.

Marlena: Okay. You’ll have to excuse us.

Harris: Oh, yeah, of course. Good luck. You got this.

Ava: Thanks.

Xander: You want me to shoot Ava?

EJ: It’s about justice, Xander. Redemption. I’m giving you the opportunity to make up for what you did to my mother.  Look, I know I’m asking a lot of you. Which is why I’m willing to pay handsomely for it.

Xander: Look, EJ, I’m just… I’m not comfortable with any of this. I-I…

EJ: Do all those zeros alleviate your concerns?

Brady: Look, Theresa, I’m no fan of Xander’s, okay? But I think it’s a little unfair to blame him for our breakup. You weren’t exactly completely honest with me.

Theresa: Okay. Yes, fine. I’ll admit that my lies damaged our relationship.

Brady: Yeah, and then you escalated things by suing for full custody of Tate. Which is why my grandfather turned on you again.

Theresa: Sure, yeah, Victor could be mercurial, but bottom line is, Brady, he knew you and I were good together, and he was right. We had something special.

Brady: We did, a while ago.

Theresa: Come on, Brady. Come on. After all these years apart, you know, I still think about you. And about us, and about what could have been.

Brady: Theresa, I don’t think that–

[ dramatic music ]

[ dramatic music ]

Brady: No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. God, God, what are– what are we doing? This is a bad idea. It’s not a good idea, it’s a bad idea.

Theresa: Brady… Brady, I’m single. From what I hear, you’re not with Chloe anymore, or Kristenha tnk God, and… Is there someone else?

Brady: No.

Theresa: Well, then I think maybe it’s the perfect time for us to give our relationship another shot. What do you say?

Doug: [ Chuckles ] You, you forgot that you had a wife?

Joe: Yeah I… No wedding ring. Can’t remember her name. But I can– I can picture her face.

Julie: Mr. Doe is currently suffering from memory loss.

Doug: I see. Uh, for a while there I had trouble remembering things myself. Turns out that I had been possessed by the devil.

Joe: [ Laughs ] Haven’t heard that one before.

Julie: Oh my dear, just stick around Salem. You’ll hear a lot of amazing things.

Doug: Do you think your wife is looking for you?

Joe: Ah, I hope so. Because I have a feeling… I- I think I loved her very much.

John: Thanks for agreeing to see us, Mr. Dugan.

Dugan: Of course. I’m so relieved to hear that Mr. Bell is alright.

John: Mm-hm.

Dugan: You said he’s at Salem University Hospital?

Steve: Yeah, that’s right. And from what we understand, he’s in pretty good shape. He’s just confused about who he is.

Dugan: He’s been dealing with memory loss for quite some time.  We suspect it stems from an old head injury he suffered during the war.

John: You said his last name is Bell?

Dugan: Yes, Joseph Bell. We kept trying to remind him, but it never seems to stick.

Steve: You have any idea where he’s originally from? He must have a home somewhere.

Dugan: I’m afraid we’ve been unable to track that down. He was only transferred here a couple months ago. He’s apparently been in the system for decades. But, with his memory the way it is, we don’t know much about him.

John: Nothing to go on in his military files.

Dugan: Every time he’s gone somewhere new, it’s like they start from scratch. His entire life history is locked up somewhere in his brain. We just don’t know how to reach it.

Marlena: Let’s go back to the night that Susan died. Tell me what you remember. Tell me what happened right before the car went off the road.

Ava: I was trying to escape from EJ. But he was right on my tail, so I sped up.

Susan: Oh, no!

Ava: Oh, my God. Here’s a tip, Susan. Don’t startle the person with the gun.

Susan: Well, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, but I- I-I just realized that I lost my lucky hat. We have to go back right now.

Ava: Are you freaking kidding me? Here’s another bit of advice for you. Keep your mouth shut, or you’re going to lose your unlucky head, too.

Ava: Everything was happening so fast. I just couldn’t think straight.  And Charlie was there, and he was… hounding me, he was telling me what I needed to do next. And Susan, Susan, she just… She kept yammering on about that stupid hat of hers.

Marlena: What happened next?

Ava: I told her to shut up.

Ava: Just shut up, okay? Shut up, I am trying to think!

Susan: I didn’t say anything! Geez.  No, I’ll stay shut up, but um, just please, please Miss Vitali, please just keep your eyes on this crippled road. I mean, it would be horrible if we get to an accident. It would be terrible, terrible.

Ava: Damn you, EJ.

Ava: EJ. He just kept, kept getting closer. And I couldn’t shake him. And Charlie– Charlie kept– he kept taunting me. He kept telling me that I– I knew what I needed to do next.

[ grunting] [ screaming ]

In the car, it just– it went flying off the cliff. And I barely got out in time before it hit, but– I don’t know, I– I must have– I must have gotten knocked out because– then everything just… It goes black.

Marlena: But you regained consciousness. What happened then?

Ava: I’m lying on the ground. And I– I– I can see the car. Just– there’s smoke and– and– and flames…. they’re everywhere.  I know it’s gonna explode so I– I force myself to get up and I just– I run away.

Marlena: What about Susan? Susan was there. What happened to her?

[ somber music ]

Xander: [ Exhales ] Forget it. No amount of money’s worth another death on my conscience. After your mother died, I was plagued with horrible nightmares. I still am.

EJ: Yeah, we have that in common, which is why I’m doing this. Because I won’t be able to rest easy until I avenge my mother’s death.

Xander: Look, I feel terrible about what happened to– to Susan, EJ.  I’m so sorry. She didn’t deserve it.

[ tense music ]

EJ: Then do something about it, then, damn it. Because my mother will not be able to rest in peace until Ava pays for what she did. You owe it to my mother to help me.

Xander: I’ve got you all figured out, Junior. You want me to get rid of Ava for you, and then you’re gonna make sure that I take the fall. Two birds, one stone, right?

EJ: If you give me what I want, I’ll have no reason to double-cross you.

Xander: You’ve got plenty of reasons. You might not want to kill me, but you definitely want me to pay.  Get the hell out of here.

EJ: Fine. But as I said before, I’ve let my mother’s death go unavenged for far too long.  It’s time for you and Ava to pay the price.

Harris: So, how did– how’d it go?

Ava: Didn’t remember anything new. [ Chuckles ]

Marlena: I’m going to consult with her doctors here. Maybe talking to the people that she’s used to will help her remember more. I’m sorry I couldn’t do more for you.

Ava: Thanks, Dr. Evans. I really do appreciate your kindness.

Marlena: My pleasure.

Harris: I’ll walk you out.

Brady: Theresa, now, come on. You want to jump back into a relationship with me just like that? Have you forgotten how toxic we were at times? Have you forgotten how much we hurt each other?

Theresa: Yeah, yeah, but the good times outweighed the bad, right? I mean, come on, Brady, don’t you remember that makeshift wedding we had in our bedroom?

Brady: Yeah.

Theresa: It wasn’t official, but it was the most romantic night of my entire life.

Brady: Theresa, I’m gonna– I’m gonna be very clear with you. I don’t want to go back down that road with you. Not now, not ever, okay?

Theresa: Brady.

Brady: Theresa, you should go. Please go.

Theresa: [ Sobs ]

Brady: [ Sighs ]

Joe: Well, obviously you two are very much in love. How long have you been married?

Doug: Over 50 years.

Joe: Oh, that’s impressive these days. Bet you have some great memories.

Julie: Oh, more than you can count. We used to own a club together.

Joe: Oh!

Julie: It was called Doug’s Place.

Joe: Catchy name.

Julie: And my darling husband sang there.

Joe: No kid– You sang? That’s fantastic. I used to sing all the time.

Julie: Oh, were you a professional?

Joe: Oh, no. But I just loved to listen to radio and sing along. You know, I can remember some of the classics, like Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, and…

Julie: Gershwin, Ira Gershwin.

Joe: George Gershwin. George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin.

Julie: Yeah. The brothers.

Joe: I remember those two.

Doug: Well, see, if you remember this song. I’m discontented with homes that are rented, so I have invented my own. Darling, this place is a lover’s oasis, where life’s weary chase is unknown.

[ Laughters ]

Joe: I love that song. I used to dance for my wife. Would you mind if I dance with your wife a minute?

Doug: Be my guest.

Julie: Oh, my goodness, I’d be delighted.

Joe: Let’s go.

Doug: All right, let’s all sing together. I’ll do the pickups.

Julie: Okay.

Doug: Oh honey, picture you

All: Upon my knee tea for two, and two for tea, me for you and you for me alone…

Doug: Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

All: Nobody near us, to see us, or hear us. No friends or relations on weekend vacations. We won’t have it known dear, but we own a telephone.

Doug: Two, Three, Four…

Julie: Dear!

All: Day will break, and I’ll awake, and start to bake, a sugar cake, for me to take, for all the boys to see,

Doug: Three, four,

Doug and Julie: Five, six, seven, eight!

All: We will make a family, A boy for you and a girl for me, Oh, can’t you see, how happy we would be?

Doug: Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Yah!

[ Laughter ]

Doug: Yes, we did it. We did it.

John: Well, I’m just assuming here that, uh, Mr. Bell doesn’t have any family that you know about that you can contact.

Dugan: None on record.

Steve: You know, John’s wife said he talked about trying to find his son. You know anything about that?

Dugan: He’s brought it up often. But he was pretty fuzzy with the details. We weren’t even sure if it was based in reality.

John: Yeah, yeah, well, I can understand that. So, anything else you can tell us?

Dugan: Obviously, I can’t share his medical history with you. But this folder contains information about his service that’s publicly available. His only belongings are his dog tags. Feel free to look them over. I just need to run down the hall for a minute.  Be right back.

John: Thanks again, Mr. Dugan.  Well, our Mr. Bell did serve in the Korean War. It also looks…My God, I don’t believe this.

Julie: [ Claps ] Gentlemen, thank you. Thank you for the song and the dance, and I can’t remember when I’ve had so much fun.

Joe: Same here. Although I can’t remember much. You have a lovely voice, Doug, and your wife, she can cut a rug.

Julie: Oh, boy.

Doug: As can you, Mr. Doe. That was very entertaining.

Julie: Well, fellas, I’m sure we could sing and dance the day and night away, but I really do have to get my husband home.

Joe: Of course. Look, I really enjoyed meeting you both.

Doug: Well, thank you. Same here. And I hope you find out eventually what your real name is.

Joe: Thank you, Doug.

Julie: And I hope you find your son.

Joe: Oh, thank you. You know, for some reason I feel like I’m gonna get some answers pretty soon.

Steve: What is it, John?

John: Joseph Bell. He served in the same unit as my biological father.

Steve: Are you sure?

John: Oh, hell, yeah. After we ran it with Timothy Robichiuax, AKA Yo Ling, I gathered as much information on my dad as I could, and this is definitely the same unit.

Steve: Well, now, there’s a coincidence. That must mean they knew each other, right?

John: Well, I guess we’re about to find out.

Brady: Theresa’s out of her mind. We’re not right for each other. Never have been.

Brady: Theresa. No. Do you take me to be your unlawfully wedded husband?

Theresa: [ Chuckles ]

Brady: I’m never gonna let you go.

Theresa: Yeah? Well you damn well better not. Because I plan on holding on to you until death do us part.

Brady: [ Sighs ]

[ Theresa cries]

Xander: Theresa.

[ Suspenseful music ]

[ Phone beeps ]

EJ: It’s me. I have a job for you. I want you to kill Ava Vitale.

Harris: [ Sighs ] Uh, I’m sorry, that was a bust.

Ava: It wasn’t a bust. I lied to Marlena.

Harris: Wh– what– what are you talking about?

Ava: I remember everything now. Susan Banks is alive.

Primetime TV Review: Learning to Love

Posted on by Eva Diaz

TV Review!

Picture #1 Here

“Learning to Love” Review on by Eva 9/4/2023

Learning to Love is the first movie in the Great American Autumn movies from Great American Family network. Ever week a new movie will be shown every Saturday until the middle of October.

The movie is about Harry Carlton (Philip Boyd) who is dealing with the death of his wife and having to raise his two daughters while working as an architect. Harry has hired several tutors for his daughters, but the tutors have never gotten along well with them. Harry meets Stephanie Miller (Ina Barron) who accidentally arrives at his office thinking she is there for an interview with an advertising agency but after talking to Harry for a few minutes she finds out the advertising agency is on another floor. The interview with the advertising agency doesn’t work out because Stephanie arrives late and without a resume because she left the resume in Harry’s office. Harry offers Stephanie the job as a tutor because Stephanie was a teacher before she worked in advertising.

I really enjoyed watching this movie, it was funny and sweet and Philip Boyd and Ina Barron had wonderful chemistry together and you are really hoping that they become a couple and get their happy ending. Harry’s daughters Rosa (Caroline Skye) and Bella (Zoe Willis). do a wonderful job and are really believable as sisters who love their dad and want the best for him.

I give this movie a 5 out of 5 stars. If you miss the movie or forget to set your DVR, the movie will rerun on Great American Family or it will stream on pureflix.com.

Billy: Hmm. It’s funny, actually. For the first time in a very long time, maybe actually ever, I can see the world through your eyes. And it ain’t pretty.

************************

Ashley: Okay, okay, okay. Listen, I will back off. I will give her the benefit of the doubt for now.

Jack: Still choking on those words, are you?

Ashley: Like a grape.

Jack: It doesn’t have to be all warm and fuzzy. We haven’t always agreed with each other’s choice of partners.

Ashley: Oh, really? Phyllis.

Jack: Yeah. And vVctor.

Ashley: Right. Whatever.

Jack: Look, we can be kind and tolerant.

Ashley: To a point. And that point, you’re not gonna like it, but it’s gonna hinge on Diane. It has to. I mean, if she behaves herself and– and she turns out to be everything that you’ve said she is all along, then I will not just lay down my sword, I will bury the damn thing.

Jack: I will help you buy the shovel,

Ashley: Okay, but… if she takes one misstep, I’m telling you right now, and if all my fears about her come true, I will be back with a vengeance, Jack, and I will be holding that sword so high.

Sharon: Did victor give you any idea why he wanted us here today?

Nick: Nope, but I’m sure the subject of Newman Media will come up, but beyond that, I have no idea.

Sharon: Well, I’ve given a lot of thought to that since we talked about it.

Adam: Would you care to share, Sharon? Oh, that’s right.

Sharon: Very funny, Adam.

Adam: Well, are you implying that I can’t be trusted with sensitive information?

Nick: You seem to be in a pretty good mood for somebody who just got busted for trying to screw over his partners.

Adam: Okay, I never attempted to screw over anybody.

Nick: Yeah, what would you call it?

Adam: Business. I made a play, it didn’t work, so on to the next.

Sharon: If there is a next.

Nick: If we’re still a part of any of this.

Adam: Well, I’m guessing some of us will be. Probably the ones who know how to run a media company. I think that’ll narrow the field a little bit.

Sharon: Wow, you never give up, do you?

Adam: Not when I am right.

Nick: And in your mind, that’s always.

***************************

Victor: Yes, indeed it does. Uh, Nate Hastings will no longer be involved with Newman Enterprises. And your mother will become the new Director of Research and Development for Newman Media. And Victoria will become my COO.

Nick: [ Scoffs ] Your COO?

Victor: Yes. Taking back the reigns of my company. I own the damn thing. My name on it.

Nick: Adam has done nothing but bring pain to all of our lives. He thrives on deception and blackmail. Help me understand this.

Victor: He’s my son. He has earned it.

Nick: What does that make me?

Victor: You’re just not as capable, son. That’s all. Proud of you, my boy. Very proud of you.

Adam: Thanks, pops.

Victor: Yup.

Sharon: Hey.

Adam: Wow. That bad, huh?

Sharon: Can you blame me?

Adam: No. Honestly, I’m not surprised. I would think you and Nick are pretty pissed at me, since I openly pushed to run Newman Media when our companies merged together.

Sharon: I wish I could say that I didn’t see this coming, but it makes sense that you would try to grab hold of power.

Adam: So, what now? Are you sitting here, plotting how best to get revenge on me? To teach me a lesson?

Sharon: Because that’s how I am.

Adam: No. No, you’re not. I– that wasn’t fair. I– but, I understand, if you’re upset with me.

Sharon: Not everything is about you, Adam. After everything that’s happened, I’m thinking in much bigger terms now. I’ve made a decision. It’s one that will affect the entire operation.

***********************

Adam: Okay. What if I say, “please?”

Sharon: I’d like to call a meeting with the three of us and Victor after I have a chance to speak to Nikolas again.

Adam: So, this is something that nick gets a vote on and I don’t? Sharon, I gotta say, I don’t love being left out of these discussions.

[ Sharon laughing ] What?

Sharon: You are joking, right? You tried to seize power in a company that we’re supposed to be building together, and now you’re worried about being left out of the loop.

Adam: Okay. I’m sorry that you’re looking at my request as an attempt at a coup. To me, it– it was just logical

Adam: Okay, well, I apologize for my bad manners for going after something that I want. And by the way, dad, something that I deserve.

Adam: Meaning what?

Nick: Really? You could ask me for like, anything right now. You know what I’m saying?

Sally: Okay, that does not make it any easier.

Nick: Just kidding. All right. What is it? What can I do?

[ Sally sighing ]

Sally: Is your offer to fund a business for me still on the table?

Nick: Yes, of course. Always.

Sally: Okay, ’cause i don’t want it to interfere with our relationship. That has always been my biggest fear.

Nick: What?

Sally: Look. Okay. I– I will give you a business plan, a profit and loss margin, and–

Nick: Sally. Sally. You don’t have to do this. Seriously, you don’t have to pitch me. Whatever it is you set out to do, I have complete trust and faith in you.

Sally: Thank you.

Nick: Of course. Was that so hard?

Sally: You have no idea.

Billy: That was nice, that little work session on the patio. Exactly what the doctor ordered.

Jack: Gotta enjoy these last days of summer.

Billy: It’s a nice change of pace instead of rushing off to the office. I gotta say it’s quiet around here for a change.

Jack: Yeah, Mrs. Martinez took Harrison to the farmer’s market, I think. Everybody else is at work.

Billy: I guess I’m struck by the, uh, the lack of snarky comments and open hostility.

Jack: You’re referring, of course, to our sister and her new husband.

Billy: I wonder if this lack of communication is a good thing or if it’s, you know, pending doom. I mean, what’s the over/under that they’re really moving on from this anti-Diane world domination plan?

Jack: I have no idea what the odds are, but I’m not about to bet on anything right no–

Tucker: Hey, guys. You miss me?

Billy: Oh, yes, tucker, we’ve been pining over you. It’s been torture.

Jack: What brings you by, tucker? I seem to remember asking you to return your house key.

Tucker: Oh, yeah, you’re gonna get that. I just came by for some personal items. And I believe Ashley made arrangements to have the rest of our stuff moved out in the next week or so. And we’ll be outta your hair.

Jack: Now why do I have a hard time believing that?

****************************

Diane: Ashley, your future affects jack’s future. So, what the two of you were talking about is very much my business. I want abbott family harmony as much as anybody.

Ashley: Of course you do.

Diane: You know what, if you don’t believe me, I really don’t care. I’ve had to resign myself to the fact that there are certain members of the family who will never accept me as an Abbott.

[ Ashley sighs ] It’s disappointing and I know that it breaks Jack’s heart.

Ashley: Yeah, well, you know, still, your words mean nothing to me. Sorry, they just don’t. They are as sincere today as they were a week ago or a year ago or whenever it was we first met all those decades ago. You even died but you came back. So, see, some things never change. You certainly have not.

Update written by Joseph

Steve meets Abe in the town square and asks how his date with Paulina went. Abe calls it a disaster.

Paulina goes to see Rafe at Jada’s apartment and tells him to stop dragging his feet and accept her job offer. Paulina declares that she wants him as her police commissioner and she’s not leaving until he signs on the dotted line.

At the Brady Pub, Belle encourages Brady that she thinks it’s for the best. Brady remarks that Philip is just lucky the police department was in between police commissioners, otherwise Philip would be in jail after he left the note for Shawn. Brady apologizes as he knows she has compassion for Philip. Belle says she just knows he wasn’t in his right mind and needed help, so she is compassionate for that because of what’s going on with Shawn. Belle mentions not hearing from Shawn since Marlena put him on 24 hour hold and calls it the longest 24 hours of her life.

Shawn meets with Marlena in her office at the hospital. Marlena asks how he’s feeling. Shawn responds that he’s grateful that Marlena put him on the 24 hour hold but when he thinks about yesterday, it’s like he was a completely different person and he’s kind of embarrassed. Marlena understands he was in pain and says he did the right thing by asking for help. Shawn knows staying here last night was good for him, but he’d like to go home now.

Jada finds Kayla at the hospital and asks if she has a minute because an officer found an elderly man wandering on the side of the road. Jada notes that he seemed slightly confused and had some bumps and bruises, so she asks Kayla to take a look at him. The officer wheels the man in. Kayla greets him and asks for his name. He responds that he hoped she would tell him.

Shawn knows one night in the hospital didn’t cure him and he realizes quitting therapy was a big mistake. Shawn wants to get started again and promises to stick with it this time. Shawn thinks he will get better faster by being at home with Belle. Marlena knows Belle would like that too and says there’s no reason not to lift the hold. Shawn thanks her. Marlena says she will get the paper work started. Marlena asks Shawn to promise to get help if he starts feeling the way he did again.

Rafe tells Paulina that unless the city council amends it’s policy on supervisors dating subordinates, he’s not going back. Paulina assures that she filed an appeal first thing this morning, asking them to change the rules so that each relationship can be evaluated on a case by case basis, but they have to vote on it. Rafe argues that he knows how these things work and they can take weeks or months, so until then, he’s not going back to the job. Paulina suggests he could just stop seeing Jada.

Kayla questions the man at the hospital not knowing who he is. He explains that the officers told him that he was John Doe but he doesn’t remember his name and he doesn’t have an ID. Kayla says they need to take a look at him and make sure he’s alright. Kayla asks if it’s okay to admit him as John Doe to get things rolling. He jokes that he’s been called worse in the past but he can’t remember those either. He asks for the officer to keep him company but she says she has to get back to work. She tells him that it was nice meeting him. He thanks them for their help. Kayla then takes him to a hospital room.

Belle tells Brady that she has to get to the hospital. Brady tells her to keep him posted. John arrives and asks how Belle is holding up. Belle says as well as can be expected. John offers to buy them lunch but Belle says she was on her way to see Shawn. John assures that he has their support as Belle exits.

Shawn finds Jada at the hospital and says he’s glad he ran in to her, bringing up that Paulina relieved him of his duties as police commissioner and that she wanted to reinstate Rafe. Jada confirms that Paulina came by yesterday to ask Rafe to come back. Shawn says that’s great and that Rafe didn’t deserve what happened to him. Jada says she’ll tell him he said that. Shawn also wanted to ask Jada how she feels about being partners again since he knows things have been awkward between them and that he screwed up pretty badly. Jada assures that it would be great to work with him again. Shawn says that’s awesome and he can’t tell her how much that means to him. Shawn hopes Rafe feels the same way. Jada thinks he does but notes that Rafe hasn’t accepted the job yet and is seriously thinking about turning it down.

Rafe tells Paulina that they have already established that even if the city council change the decision, it could take a long time and he doesn’t want to be separated from Jada for even a day. Paulina sees in his eyes that she’s not going to change his mind which he confirms. Paulina understands since she’s been separated from Abe for months and it’s been killing her. Rafe asks if Abe has made any progress on getting his memory back. Paulina says no, though he did take her on a date. Rafe asks how it went. Paulina guesses that last night was the swan song to their marriage.

Steve encourages Abe that the date couldn’t have been that bad. Abe guesses it was okay at first, but then he asked Paulina to tell him how they met and she told him that she was planning to bulldoze the town square and to destroy his reputation to pull it off. Steve guesses that wasn’t her finest hour but points out that they got past it. Abe argues that lying seems to be Paulina’s modus operandi and he’s sick of being lied to. Abe declares that he’d much rather be alone than be lied to again.

Kayla checks on the man in the hospital and notes that he’s dehydrated so they are going to get him fluids. Kayla starts asking questions by asking what year it is. He confirms it’s 2023 and the year of the rabbit. Kayla asks if he knows who the President is but he says he tries to stay out of politics. Kayla asks how old he is. He jokes that he must be pretty old. He asks Kayla what the verdict is. Kayla thinks he did pretty well and decides that she will let him rest, then she will come back to reassess. He tells Kayla that he has to get out of here as soon as he can, because he’s on a very important mission.

Steve tells Abe that Paulina made some mistakes but she eventually owned up to them and she isn’t lying anymore. Abe questions why he would want to fall in love all over again with a woman like that. Steve suggests that the dude who fell in love with Paulina before wasn’t self righteous.

Rafe tells Paulina that he’s sorry things didn’t go well with Abe and asks if there’s anything he can do to help besides breaking up with Jada to accept the commissioner job. Paulina suggests Rafe could help her figure out who to hire because she needs someone as police commissioner ASAP. Jada then comes home, so Rafe asks what about her?

Belle goes to the hospital and finds Shawn, who says he was just texting her. Shawn informs her that Marlena is letting him go home and he’s just waiting on the paper work to go through. Belle asks if that means he’s feeling better. Shawn confirms he’s starting to feel like his old self. Belle says she is so glad because he really scared her last night. Shawn apologizes and promises it won’t happen again. Belle says she only cares that he’s okay and no matter how hard things get, he can always count on her and her whole family. Belle adds that John said to tell him that everyone loves him and is there for him as she hugs Shawn.

John tells Brady that he guesses he’s glad Philip is alive but complains about all that Philip put Brady through. John asks if Brady is sure he doesn’t want to press charges. Brady admits a big part of him does but Chloe and Belle are right that it’s not what Victor would’ve wanted and part of him is going to honor that man’s memory somehow. John gets that. Brady admits that he misses Victor and that it wasn’t easy being his grandson, but he knows Victor loved him and he loved Victor too. John states that Victor had a big heart and that they looked after each other after Brady’s mother died and even became friends. Brady brings up that they were once mortal enemies. John talks about Victor bringing him to Salem to be a pawn in his scheme but back then he was so messed up, suffering from memory loss, and didn’t even know who he was.

Kayla returns to John Doe’s hospital room with Marlena. He jokes about all the beautiful women around. Kayla then exits the room. He identifies that Marlena is a shrink which she confirms. He tells her that he’s not crazy. Marlena says they don’t think he is but she was wondering if she could spark his memory a bit. Marlena brings up Kayla saying he was found on the side of the road and asks if he knows how he got there. He said he was walking for a couple of days. Marlena calls that a long time. He jokes that it would be better if he had a car. Marlena asks if he recalls what his destination was. He tells her it was Salem. Marlena asks if he remembers why he came. He reveals that he came to Salem to find his son. Marlena questions his son living here in Salem. He says he’s been looking for him for years and a couple nights ago, he had a dream that he was nearby, so he started walking. Marlena asks what his son’s name is but he says he doesn’t know as he’s never met him, but thanks to his dream, he’s sure that he is right in this area. Marlena questions how he will know when he finds him then. He calls that a good question and asks if she thinks he’s crazy. Marlena understands there’s a very strong bond between parents and their children. He says his son need him and he needs him. He talks about wishing he was there for him growing up and recalls a lot of fighting at home. Marlena asks what he remembers about home. He remembers a farm. Marlena suggests he could be from Brookville but he says that doesn’t ring a bell nor does being a farmer. He declares that all he knows is that he has to find his son if it’s the last thing he ever does.

John asks how Brady is holding up since it’s been a rough couple months losing Victor and losing custody of Rachel. Brady adds Chloe being engaged to Xander and admits it’s been no walk on the beach but he’s hanging in there. John asks if there’s any chance he could talk Chloe out of marrying Xander. Brady admits he tried but thinks it’s a lost cause so it’s just something he will have to suck up, deal with, and move on from as he needs to focus on getting Rachel back anyway. John encourages Brady not to give up on love completely. Brady says maybe it’s just not in the cards for him. John disagrees and argues that he never knows what tomorrow is going to bring. John is sure that there’s a woman out there for him eventually.

Shawn tells Belle that maybe he should go to an AA meeting with Brady like she wanted. Shawn doesn’t think he’s an alcoholic but acknowledges that he’s been drinking too much and that needs to stop. Belle thinks Brady would be more than happy to go to a meeting with him as long as it’s his idea. Shawn asks even after he called Brady’s life a hot mess. Belle doesn’t think Brady will hold it against him. Shawn feels he still owes him an apology. Shawn mentions that he ran in to Jada earlier and they cleared the air which Belle is glad to hear. Shawn adds that Jada said she was fine being partners again, so if the new commissioner doesn’t have a problem with it then that means he can go back to work. Belle doesn’t think that’s a very good idea.

Jada asks what’s going on as Rafe explains that Paulina needs a new police commissioner and since they haven’t changed the policy on dating, he was recommending Jada. Rafe reminds Jada that they agreed she would be the perfect choice when Rawlings appointed Shawn. Rafe praises Jada to Paulina and adds that she’s respected by everyone. Paulina acknowledges that he makes a strong case and she’s all for supporting fellow women of color. Rafe assures that she won’t find anyone better than Jada and he can’t think of any reason not to hire her immediately, but Jada says she can think of one. Jada points out that Rafe would be prevented from coming back to the force and she’s not going to let him throw away his career because of her. Rafe argues that he won’t allow her to pass up a once in a lifetime opportunity. Jada thanks Rafe but says she’s going to have to decline. Paulina then gets a text and announces that the city council has agreed to amend the policy so there is nothing to stop Rafe from returning. Rafe asks what about Jada. Jada points out that now that the policy is changed, he can come back. Rafe and Jada go back and forth until Paulina announces that she has already made her decision.

Abe questions Steve thinking he’s self righteous. Steve apologizes and is just frustrated because Abe doesn’t remember how happy he was with Paulina. Abe admits that he’s scared and that Paulina gets to him. Abe states that he doesn’t even remember her, but she gets to him, so he’s scared. Steve understands love is scary and out of control. Steve knows Abe’s instincts tell him to run. Steve apologizes and says he’s really tired so he just popped off. Abe acknowledges that he told the truth.

Shawn questions Belle not thinking he should go back to work. Belle says not right now when he’s been going through so much, so she thinks he should take time off and not jump back in to such a high pressured job. Shawn swears he can handle it and that if things get to be too much, he’ll stop. Shawn adds that he’ll be seeing Marlena twice a week, so he really thinks he’ll be fine. Belle then agrees if that’s what he wants. Shawn thanks her and they hug.

John Doe tells Marlena that his gut tells him he’s closer to finding his son than ever before, but he can’t find him while stuck in a hospital bed. Marlena says nobody will keep him from finding his son, but she thinks it’d be best for him to rest here and get his strength back up. Marlena adds that she will try to put the pieces of his life back together and hopefully help find his son. Marlena brings up that her husband John is a private investigator and she’s sure he would be happy to take his case. He agrees that he needs all the help he can get. Marlena says they all do. He talks about everyone being so nice so maybe it was meant to be that he was brought here to Marlena. He declares that this could be the beginning of a real friendship. Marlena says she thinks he may be right.

Rafe returns to his office with Jada and places his police commissioner name plate back on the desk. Jada praises Paulina’s decision and tells Rafe that he belongs in that chair. Rafe says he doesn’t know about that but he’s happy to be back. Jada brings up all the nice things he said about her which Rafe says were all true. Jada says she really appreciated it and it meant a lot to her. Jada brings up Rafe telling her the other day that he was falling in love with her. Jada wants Rafe to know that she feels the same way as she’s falling in love with him too. Rafe and Jada then kiss.

Belle gets a text that Paulina put out a press release about Rafe being reinstated as police commissioner. Shawn says that’s great and if he can just get out of here, he can get back to her, his job and his life. Belle says she will go check on the paper work to see what’s taking so long. Belle adds that after that, he is coming home and taking the rest of the day off. Shawn says he won’t argue. Belle suggests she can make them lunch and they can binge watch a new murder mystery on Peacock. Belle thinks after that, they should get back in to a normal routine. Shawn says that sounds great as Belle walks away.

Abe stands at the Tom and Alice plaque and says he’s so glad their town square wasn’t torn down as they seem like very nice people. Paulina approaches and guesses he means unlike her. Paulina says she didn’t bother him as she knows he doesn’t want anything to do with her. Abe says that’s not true. Abe asks Paulina what she says to starting over again. Paulina responds that she likes that.

Steve joins John at the Pub. John hopes Abe and Paulina find their way back to each other because they deserve it. John and Steve toast to taking the rest of the day off and celebrating. Marlena enters and asks about them celebrating. Steve announces that they just wrapped their latest case. Marlena calls that wonderful because she has a new case for them that she thinks they will find very interesting.

Kayla informs John Doe that his CT scan is almost ready so someone will escort him to it. Kayla asks how things went with Marlena. He calls her an angel and says that her husband is going to help him find his son. Kayla mentions her husband being his partner and declares that if anyone can find his son, they can.

Brady is at home with a photo of Rachel when he is surprised by his ex Theresa Donovan showing up at the door. Theresa greets him and says it’s been awhile.

 Sorry I’m late, man. John and I had an all nighter. So, how’d your date with Paulina go? Ah, well, in a word, it was a disaster.

Higher price. Something I can do for you? Yes. You can stop dragging your feet and accept my job offer. Oh, do come in. I want you as my police commissioner and I’m not leaving here until you sign on the dotted line.

I think it’s for the best, Brady. All I can say is Philip is damn lucky that the Salem PD were in between police commissioners when I left that note. Otherwise his ass would be in jail exactly where it belongs, Belle. Sorry, I know that you have compassion for him. Listen, I just know that he, he wasn’t in his right mind.

He needed help. And yes, I am compassionate to that, considering everything that’s going on with Sean. Have you heard from him? No, not since mom put him on that 24 hour hold. It’s been the longest 24 hours of my life.

Sean, how are you feeling today? I’m, I’m grateful actually, that you put me on that hold. I’d like to put you on a 24 hour hold so we can assess you and figure out the next step. I would feel a lot better if you would agree to that. Whatever you think is best. Doesn’t have to happen right this minute. We could, we could talk for a while.

I said, look at me. We’re in this together. We’ll get through it together.

I’m, I’m sorry I let you down. You did not let me down. I’m so proud of you that you came here and you asked for help. Okay. We’re gonna be okay. Everything is gonna be okay, but when I, I think about yesterday, it’s, it’s like I was a completely different person. And to be honest with you, I’m, I’m kind of embarrassed.

There’s no need to be. You were in pain. You did the right thing. You, you asked for help. And I got it. Marlena, I know, I know that me staying here last night, that was a good thing for me. But, um, if it’s okay with you, I’d like to go home. Now. Kayla,

Oh, sure, sure. What do you need? One of our officers was patrolling the outskirts of town, and they found an elderly man wandering alongside the road. Hi. He seems really sweet, but he’s also a little confused, and he has some scrapes and bruises. Would you take a look at him? Oh, absolutely, no problem. Thanks.

Hello, sir. Hi, I’m Dr. Johnson. Can you tell me your name? I was hoping you’d tell me.

Sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

Look, I know that one night in the hospital didn’t, I mean, didn’t cure me. And, um, and I realized that quitting therapy, that was… That was a big mistake. And like I said last night, I, I want to get started again. And this time, I want to, I’m going to stick with it. Promise. But I just think that, you know, if I’m going to get better faster, I think that I’d be better off being at home.

You know, with Belle. Yeah.

I know Belle would like that too. And judging by your session with Dr. Patel, I’d say there’s No reason not to lift the hold. Thank you. I will get the paperwork started. Sean, if you begin feeling the way that you did yesterday again, promise me you’ll get help. Promise me.

Boy, you could be sitting there for quite a while. Because unless the City Council amends its policy on supervisors dating subordinates, I’m not going back. I filed an appeal first thing this morning. I asked them to change the rules so that each reported relationship can be evaluated on a case by case basis.

And? They’re going to vote on it. When? They didn’t say. Of course they didn’t. You see, I know how this works. These decisions, they could take weeks, even months. And until then, I am not going back to that job. Or, maybe you could just stop seeing Jada.

So, you don’t know who you are? This, uh, attractive young officer here, I’m sorry, is it okay if I call you Mr. Fairfax? Well, just this once. This attractive young officer here and this other attra… Oh. It’s okay, but one more attractive and we may need to write you up. Well, I like to keep up with the times.

Okay, how about this, uh, this, uh, efficient officer here and this other efficient officer there told me that was John Doe. Um, I don’t think that’s really my name. You don’t, huh? Um, any ID? No? Um, well listen, how about this? Uh, sir, uh, uh, we need to take a look at you and make sure that you’re alright. So, would it be okay with you if we just admit you as John Doe and that way we can just get things rolling?

John Doe doesn’t have a lot of pizzazz to it. Although, I’ve been called a lot more than that in the past. It’s funny, I can’t remember those names either. Well listen, why don’t we get you settled in a room, okay? Can Officer Silver come with me? Oh, why do you, why do you say that? Well, look at her. Wouldn’t you like to have her for company?

Well, that’s very kind of you, but I do need to get back to work. Oh, too bad. It was a real pleasure meeting you, and I wish you all the best. Always the same as you, honey. Uh, maybe we’ll see each other sometime? You never know. Well, man can dream, can’t he? You take care of yourself, okay? And the same to you.

Look, thank you both. You’ve both been very efficient. It was our pleasure. Ah, she doth teach the torches to burn bright. Oh, you can add a broken heart to my ailments right now. Ah, duly noted. Well, apparently we don’t need to worry about your eyesight, huh? For my taste.

Alright, it is time for me to get to the hospital. Hey, keep me posted, okay? Yes, I will. Oh, hey, Dad. Hey, yourself. How you holding up, sweetie? Uh, as well as could be expected. Right, right. Hey, I got my kids here. Can I buy you lunch? Oh, I was actually going to see Sean. Right, right. Well, just let him know that he has our full love and support.

Just like you do, and don’t you ever freak him out. Oh, okay. Thank you. Alright. Love you, Tink. Love you. Gina, hey. Sean, hey. I’m, uh, I’m glad I ran into you. You, uh, you heard that Pauline will leave me and my doo doos as commissioner, right? Yeah, she said she wants to reinstate Rafe. Yeah, she came by yesterday to ask him to come back.

That’s great. And, listen, I want you to know that I, I think that she’s making the right decision. What happened to Rafe, uh, he doesn’t deserve it. I’ll tell him you said that. Also, I, I wanted to ask you how you feel about, uh, being partners with me again. Look, I know that, I know that things have been awkward between us for a while, and, uh, I know that I screwed up pretty badly, but I just Sean.

It would be great to work with you again. That’s awesome. I, I can’t tell you how much that means to me. I just, I hope that Ray feels the same way. I think he does. He hasn’t accepted the job yet. In fact, he’s seriously thinking about turning it down.

Mayor Price. Paulina, please. Paulina. Look, we’ve already established that even if the City Council admits that they were wrong and wants to change the decision, it could take a long time. I don’t want to be separated from Jada for months, a week, or even a day.

Ah, I can see it in your eyes. I’m not going to change your mind. You’re not. I suppose I can understand. I’ve been separated from Abraham for months and it’s been killing me. Yeah, I know. How’s that going? Has he made any progress on getting his memory back? No. Although he, he did take me on a date. Really?

Wanna go? My guess is that last night, was a swan song to our marriage.

Come on, man. Date couldn’t have been that bad. It was okay, at first, I guess. Then, uh, Then what? I asked her to tell me how we had met. And she told me that she was planning to bulldoze this entire square. And to destroy my reputation in order to pull it off. Oh. Well, I guess that wasn’t her finest hour. But you two got past it, didn’t you?

Oh, and I remember that, don’t I? Look, lying seems to be her modus operandi. And after the last few months, I’m just sick of being lied to. I’ve had it up to here. I would much rather be alone than to be lied to again.

Well, you’re pretty dehydrated, so we’re going to give you something that’ll perk you up. Oh, uh, intravenous single malt, maybe? Uh, more like a vintage Ringer’s Lactate, uh, you know, pairs well with Jell O. Okay, listen, I’m going to ask you a few questions, all right? And listen, don’t worry about it, if you don’t get them right or you don’t remember, it’s no big deal.

Not to you. Touche. Okay, uh, let’s start with, um, do you know what year it is? Uh, 2023, Year of the Rabbit. Oh, you show off. Um, how about, do you know who the current President of the United States is? You know, I try to stay out of politics. Oh, fair enough. Okay. How about, um, Do you know how old you are? Well, you know, from the looks of it, I’m pretty old.

If I’d have known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself. I’m charming, though, right? Yes, yes, I would agree with that. So, Doc, what’s the verdict? Have I got all my marbles? I think you did pretty well, actually. But I’m going to go away, let you rest for a bit, and I’ll come back and we’ll reassess.

Okay, but just so you know, I have got to get out of here as soon as I possibly can. Really? Yeah. Why is that? Well, you may not know it, but look at me. I’m on a very important mission.

Okay. I know Paulina made some mistakes, but she eventually owned up to them, right? I mean, she’s not lying anymore, is she? Why would I want to fall in love again all over with a woman like that?

Sigh. Oi, what? Maybe, because the dude who fell in love with Paulina before wasn’t a self righteous prick.

Sorry, things didn’t go well with Aiden. Is there anything I can do to help? You could reconsider my job offer. Besides breaking up with Jada and taking the Commissioner’s job. Sigh. If you’re so dead set on turning me down, maybe you can help me figure out who to hire. I need someone in place ASAP.

What about her?

Sean. Oh, oh, hey, Val. I was just texting you. Oh. Your mom, uh, she lifted the hold. I’m just waiting for the paperwork to come through. Does that mean you’re feeling better? Yeah, yeah. I feel, I feel like I’m, you know, getting back to my old self. Good. I’m so glad. You really scared me last night. Look, I know. I know I did, and I’m sorry about that.

It’s not gonna happen again, I promise you. care about is that you’re okay. Yeah, well, I, uh, I am now. Good. And you know no matter how hard things get, you can always, always count on me. And that goes for my whole family. I actually just saw my dad and he said to tell you that everyone loves you. And that we’re all here for you.

Hey.

Okay, I guess I’m glad that Phillip’s alive. But you know what I’d like to do is go over there and wring his little curiocus neck. Come on, Sonny, I put you through all of that, and now it’s like, Oops! Oh, my bad! Sorry, my bad! Hey, I know, I know. Okay, so you sure you don’t want to press charges? Part of me does.

Big part of me does, dad, but honestly, Chloe and Belle are right. It’s not what grandfather would have wanted. And there’s a part of me that…

I want to honor that man’s memory somehow. Yeah. Yeah, I get that. Kinda. I don’t know, dad. I miss him. It wasn’t easy being his grandson, I’ll tell you that, but I, I know he loved me. Dammit, I loved him. Too. The man had a big heart. I’m saying that because after your mother died, we, um, we kind of looked out for each other.

Actually became friends. Which is pretty crazy considering you two were once mortal enemies, right? That’s a fact. From the moment he brought me from that hospital in Miami up here to Salem to be the pawn in his game. But you know what, back then I was so messed up. And I was suffering from memory loss and I didn’t even know who the hell I was.

Mr. Doe? Um, I’m going to go set up your CT scan, but in the meantime, I brought my good friend and colleague, Dr. Evans, to chat it up with you. Is this a hospital or a modeling agency? One beautiful woman after another. You are incorrigible. But charming. Well, that’s true. All right. I’ll see you later. Well, Doctor.

I’m not new to the rodeo here. You’re shrink, I guess. Yes. I am a psychiatrist. Oh. Well, uh, no offense, but I’m, I’m not crazy. I’m not even a little bit neurotic. Well, we don’t think that you are. I was wondering, uh, if I could maybe spark your memory a bit. Would that be helpful to you? Oh, completely. Have at it.

Okay. Dr. Johnson tells me that, uh, you were found on the side of the road. Do you know how you got there? Walking. Yeah. And apparently your shoes were rather worn out. Yeah. Do you know how long you were walking? Um, a couple of days. Wow. That’s a long time. I’d have been better if I’d had a flying car or even a regular car.

Yeah. But given your determination to get here, do you recall what your destination was? Here. Salem. Oh. And do you recall why you were coming here? To find someone very important to me. My son.

So, your son lives here in Salem. I don’t know. I’ve been looking for him for a long time. Years, actually. Then a couple of nights ago, I had this dream that he was nearby. And I put on my sturdiest walking shoes and I started walking. What’s your son’s name? I don’t know. I never knew him. Never met him. But thanks to this dream, I’m sure he’s right in this area.

Well, if you don’t know his name, and you’ve never met him, how will you know when you find him? Pretty good question, but some I… I’m feeling it in my heart. You think I am crazy? No, I think it’s normal. It’s a very strong bond between parents and children. And that’s why I have to find him. My son needs me.

I need him. You know, I wish I could have been there when he was growing up. There was so much fighting going on. And I had to get home. I remember, yeah, I had to get home. And what do you remember about home? I remember a farm. Well, maybe, maybe, maybe you’re from Brookville. There’s a lot of farmland there.

It doesn’t ring a bell. Do you think you were a farmer? No, it doesn’t ring a bell either. For all I know, I could have been a chimney sweep or a street artist or something like that. But all I know is I’ve got to find my son. It’s the last thing I ever do.

So how you holding up, kid? It’s been a rough couple of months here. Victor and losing custody of Rachel. And then, uh, Chloe being engaged to Xander. Yeah, it’s been, uh, It’s been a walk on the beach, Dad, but I’m hanging in there, you know. There’s not any chance that you can talk Chloe out of marrying that son of a bitch.

I’ve tried. I think it’s a lost cause. I think it’s just something that I’m gonna have to suck up and deal with and move on from, and… I need to focus on getting Rachel back anyway. Yeah, that’s, uh, that’s great, that’s important, that’s, uh… Just don’t give up on love completely, kid. I don’t know, Dad, I mean…

Maybe it’s just something that’s not in the cards for me. Ah, come on, that’s a bunch of bull. I don’t know. You never know what tomorrow’s gonna bring. And I know that there is a woman for you out there. Somewhere. Eventually, I’m sure of it.

I was thinking that, uh, maybe I should go to a meeting with Brady, like you said. I, I don’t, I don’t think that I’m an alcoholic, but I do know that I’ve been drinking too much. And that needs to stop. Well, I think Brady would be more than happy to go to a meeting with you. As long as it’s your idea. Even after how I spoke to him yesterday?

Saying that his life was a hot mess? Well, I don’t think Brady’s gonna hold that against you. He knows you were in an… Great shape at the time. Yeah, well, great shape or not, I, I owe him an apology. Uh, which reminds me, I, uh, I ran into Jada earlier, and we cleared the air. Good, good, I’m glad to hear that. Yeah, I asked her how she felt about being partners with me again, and she said she was fine.

So, if the, uh, new commissioner, who may or may not be Rafe, doesn’t have a problem with it, then that means I’m gonna be able to go back to work. What? Sean, I don’t think that’s a very good idea.

So, uh… What’s going on here? Well, Mayor Price needs a new police commissioner. And since they haven’t changed the policy on dating, I was recommending you. Me? Well, when Rawlings hired Sean, we agreed that you’d have been the perfect choice. Jada is extremely qualified, not to mention she has the best closed case record on the force.

She is smart, level headed, and an excellent administrator. And not only that, she’s respected by everyone. You make a strong case, and I am all for supporting my fellow women of color. Oh, trust me, you will not find anyone better than Jada. In fact, I don’t see any reason why you shouldn’t hire her immediately.

I can think of one.

If I become the commissioner, the current dating policy would prevent you from coming back to the force. You would become my subordinate. Well then maybe I wouldn’t come back. No, forget it. I’m not about to let you throw away your career because of me. Well, I’m not about to let you pass up a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Thank you, but I’m Jada. Wait, wait, hang on a second, hang on a second, I just got a text. The city council has agreed to amend the policy. Oh, see now? There’s nothing to stop you from returning as commissioner. Well, what about Jada? This isn’t about me. Yeah, of course it is. How? Now that they changed the policy, you can come back.

Working for you? No. Okay, wait. Just stop right there, the both of you. Now you can argue till you’re blue in the face. It won’t make a damn bit of difference. I’ve already made my decision.

So you think I’m a self righteous freak? No, no, no, no. Dude, I’m really sorry I called you that. I think I’m just frustrated because you don’t remember how happy you were with Paulina. Happier than you’ve been in years.

I’m scared.

So there, I’ve said it. She gets to me. I don’t even remember her. But she gets to me. I’m scared. Of course you are. Cause love is freaking scary, man. By definition, you’re out of control. You can’t figure out how she makes you feel the way you do. So all your instincts tell you to run. And the whole time you’re running, you’re telling yourself you’re just being rational.

Who needs to be happy anyway?

I’m sorry, man. I’m really tired and I… I just popped off and told the truth.

You don’t think I should go back to work? No. No, not right now, Sean. You’ve been going through so much. I just think that you should take some time off and not jump back into such a high pressure job right now. Okay, well, listen. I get where you’re coming from, okay? I do. But I can handle this, I swear. Hey, look, if things get to be too much at work, then I’ll just stop.

Plus, I’m going to be seeing your mom twice a week, so she’ll keep me honest. Listen, I really think I’m going to be fine. I do. Okay. If that’s what you want. Thank you.

Locked my gut to defining him than ever before. Of course I can’t do it while I’m stuck in this bed. Hmm. Well, nobody’s gonna keep you from finding your son. But I think for right now, you would, you would do well to stay here, rest up, and get your strengths back. And what I’m gonna do is try to put the pieces of your life together.

And hopefully help you find your son. You really mean that? I do mean that. In fact, my, my husband John, um, is a private investigator. Another, uh, John Doe? No. No, his name is John Black. And, um, he calls me Doc as well. But I’m sure he’d be happy to take your case, if that’s okay with you. Are you kidding? I need all do.

You know, everyone here’s been so nice. You know, maybe it was meant to be that young officer brought me here, and led me straight to you, Dr. Evans. You know, this could be the beginning of a real friendship. I think you may be right.

Paulina made a very wise decision. Oh, I don’t know about that, but, um, I’m happy to be back. Yeah, well, you belong in that chair. And the fact that you said all those wonderful things about me… Oh, come on, they were all true. Yeah, well… I really appreciated that. It meant a lot to me. And, uh, you You told me that you were falling in love with me.

And I want you to know that I feel the same way. I’m falling in love with you

too. Well, the mayor’s office just put out a press release. Looks like Rafe has been reinstated as commissioner. Oh, that’s great. Now, if I could just… Get out of here and get back to you and the job and my life. Okay, well I’ll go see what’s taking the paperwork so long. Alright, thank you. But then after that…

Listen, you are not going back to the station. You’re coming home, and that is final. You are taking the rest of the day off, and that is settled. You’ve got no arguments from me. Good. And then maybe I can make us lunch, and we can binge watch something. Oh, there’s a new show on Peacock I wanted to check out.

Okay, as long as it’s not a rom com. Would I do that to you? No, it’s a murder mystery. I don’t remember the name of it, but it got really good previous. But like I said, after that I think we should just get back into a normal routine. That sounds great.

I’m so glad your square wasn’t torn down. You

seem like, like very nice people.

Unlike me, right?

Well, you know. Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to bother you. I know you won’t want anything to do with me. No, that’s, that’s not true.

What do you say if we start over again? Really? Really? I

think I like that.

Yeah, I sure do hope Abe and Paulina find their way back to each other because they deserve each other. Unlike our client and her cheating spouse. So what do you say, partner, take the rest of the day off and do a little celebrating? Yeah! Celebrate! Oh! Hey, Doc! Yeah, we’re gonna celebrate. Black patch just wrapped up our latest case.

Oh, that’s wonderful. Because I think I have a new case for you. And I think you’ll find it very interesting.

Okay, the CT scan is almost set up. So if you can just sit tight here, somebody will come and escort you to it. Thank you. Um, how did things go with Dr. Evans? That woman is an angel. Her husband gonna help me find my son. He’s a private eye. Yes, I know that. My husband is his partner. And if anybody can find your son, they can.

From your lips.

Theresa? Hey Brady. It’s been a while.

Nikki: Summer.

Summer: Hi, grandma.

Nikki: It’s so good to see you!

Summer: Oh, it’s good to see you too.

Nikki: So, how are you? More specifically, how are you and kyle?

Summer: Um… we’re moving ahead with the divorce.

Nikki: Oh, no! No, I’m so sorry to hear that. You two have been through so much. I’m sure if you just gave yourselves a little more time–

Summer: More time is not really gonna help. Kyle’s already moved on and he seems perfectly fine with the way that his life is going, so…

[ Summer scoffs ]

Nikki: What do you mean he’s moved on? With someone else?

Summer: Yeah. I’m sure that you’ve heard of her. Audra charles.

Nikki: Kyle and audra charles?

[ Summer sighs ] Oh, my god.

Kyle: Thank you.

Audra: Thanks.

Kyle: That was delicious, as usual. What would you like for dessert?

Audra: Hm. I think you know.

Kyle: Oh.

Audra: Unfortunately, it would involve a shower and–

Nate: Hello, you two.

Kyle: Ah.

Audra: Oh, hey!

Nate: Excuse me for interrupting. Audra, have you spoken to anyone from the newman camp today?

Audra: I was– you know, I talked to victor earlier and I have that meeting with nikki this afternoon. Why? What’s going on?

Nate: Actually, I think this is something we should discuss in private.

[ Knocking on door ]

Ashley: What are you doing here?

Jack: Diane told me what happened. I wanted to make sure you’re okay. Are you all right?

Ashley: Uh, I’m still a little shaken up.

Jack: Yeah, I’ll bet you are.

Ashley: I don’t know what was more shocking. Almost dying by choking on a grape or being rescued by the woman I was convinced wanted me dead more than anybody on the planet.

Jack: Wait, diane doesn’t want you dead.

Ashley: Well, clearly. She saved my life. And that is so ironic, it’s almost cruel.

Billy: Okay, I am not trying to steal jabot from you. Yes, tucker and ashley offered me the brass ring and I pretended to be interested in it because that was the right thing to do to stay on the inside.

Jack: I get it. But no one would be surprised that maybe a kernel of this is true. That you might be tempted to run jabot.

Billy: Because my last go ’round at jabot didn’t quite end like everyone expected? So, this is my opportunity to redeem myself? As you just said, “who wouldn’t do that?” Especially if your name was billy abbott.

Jack: Billy, I don’t believe you would follow through.

Billy: No, but you don’t really 100% trust me, do you? Tucker just planted the seed. I’m just shocked how quickly it’s taken hold. You fully believe that I’m just gonna fall right back where I came from.

Jack: That is not what I said.

Billy: Because you think for one second that I might go to their side. To go against everything that I promised to the company, to our family, to our father’s legacy, the promises that I made to you.

Jack: I’m sorry that you took what I said that way.

Billy: Give me a break, jack. There’s only one way to take that.

Adam: Single malt. Neat.

[ Billy chuckles ]

Billy: Hmm. It’s funny, actually. For the first time in a very long time, maybe actually ever, I can see the world through your eyes. And it ain’t pretty. When it comes to your hair, ingredients matter.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by… eggland’s best.

Adam: Well, this one I got to hear, billy. What could possibly make you sympathetic to the way that I see the world?

Billy: Nope, I– I wouldn’t go that far. I mean, I have empathy because it’s hard to live in the shadow of someone who thinks you’ll never measure up. Especially when they are comparing you to a fabricated ideal that they’ve dreamed up for you.

Adam: Well, I’m guessing that you’re talking about your brother and if– if you’re referring to my relationship with my father, you’re only in the ballpark because it’s a whole lot worse than you can even imagine.

Billy: That I could– I could actually agree with you on, but I’m not just talking about victor. I mean, with you, it’s your entire family. You know, because no matter how hard you’ve tried, you’ve never really measured up to any of them. I mean, victoria, that’s a no. Nick? That’s a definite no.

Adam: I– I– I get it. So, what has jack done now?

[ Billy sighs ]

Jack: Diane is as shaken by all of this as you are. Watching you almost die scared the hell out of her.

Ashley: Yeah, well, she surprised the hell out of me too.

Jack: You honestly thought she would stand there and watch you choke to death?

Ashley: The thought may have crossed her mind.

Jack: No, not for a second. The moment she saw you were in real trouble, all of the acrimony, all of the ugliness went. All the noise and accusations were over. All she cared about was saving your life and that’s what she did. Actually, one other thing, if the situation were reversed, if diane were the one gasping for air, whether you’re willing to admit it or not, you would have done the same thing for her.

Ashley: You really think so?

Jack: Yes, I know so. That’s who you are. Look, I have known you since you came into this world. And I know that beneath all of that gladiator armor you’ve been wearing these past few months, there is a heart and a soul every bit is kind and loving and compassionate as our father’S. That’s who you are, that is your essence. And that is the woman that diane saved.

Ashley: Well, I appreciate you saying that to me, jack.

Jack: I cannot believe I almost lost you. But here you are alive and well and… I’m just, I’m– I’m just grateful, I’m g– grateful to god, I’m grateful to diane and…

Ashley: I’m thankful too.

Jack: You think there’s a chance we could use this as a wake-up call, so that we could all stop this incessant fighting and get back to what really matters?

Kyle: If you two need to have a private conversation, then I’ll just head out.

Nate: Look, I’m sorry if I’m interrupting something. I suppose this can wait until our dinner tonight.

Audra: I’m assuming this is about newman media? In which case kyle should be part of the conversation.

Nate: Okay, okay. This is eventually gonna affect you as well.

[ Nate sighs ] Look, I just want to give you a heads up. But promise me, you’ll pretend you haven’t heard this when you meet with nikki.

Audra: Why? What’s this about?

Kyle: Yeah, it sounds serious. What is it?

Nate: I just got off the phone with victoria.

Audra: Is she still in L.A.?

Nate: Mm-hmm. It seems, uh, victor is rearranging the newman furniture, again. And get this, adam is out completely.

Kyle: You’re kidding.

Audra: Huh. That is interesting. So, what’s gonna happen with the company he, nick, and sharon were formalizing?

Nate: It will be folded into newman media as planned. But nick is stepping back to newman enterprises. As co-ceo.

Audra: But that’s nikki newman’s position.

Nate: Not anymore.

Summer: I– I’m surprised that this is the first that you’re hearing about kyle and audra. He’s working with her at newman media and they’re not being discrete about their relationship. I thought it would just be common knowledge.

Nikki: I am so sorry you’re going through this. And that kyle is doing this to you.

Summer: To be fair, I did betray his trust. And I lied to him. I pushed him away. It’s a lot to come back from.

Nikki: Darling, every couple has their rough patches sooner or later. I mean, look at victor and me after everything we’ve been through. If we are not proof that love can overcome anything, I don’t know who it is.

Summer: I was hoping for that. And I– I did try but… I’ve accepted the fact that it’s just not always the case. I’ve got to let him go, grandma.

Nikki: Audra charles. Unbelievable. I am so glad you told me. In fact, it’s perfect timing.

Summer: Why?

Nikki: You have just given me an opportunity to put that woman in her place. Meet my boyfriend, jake.

Summer: Grandma, whatever you’re planning on doing to audra, please don’T. At least, not on my account.

Nikki: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Summer: Kyle has moved on, and if he wants to do that with her, then that’s his problem. You know, I just want to move on myself.

Nikki: And I want that for you, darling.

Summer: Okay, good, so you– you don’t need to stir things up just because our marriage is ending. All– all I want is to keep things peaceful between me and kyle, for harrison’s sake. I have learned the hard way through my mom that you can either have drama or you can have a happy life. You really cannot have both.

Nikki: And I don’t disagree. But I promise you, if I do decide to stir things up with audra charles, it’ll be about a lot more than your situation with kyle. That woman needs a good, healthy dose of humility. And would you really object if I happened to be the one to give it to her?

Summer: No. I can’t honestly say that I would.

Kyle: Nate, I think we all know that victor would never fire nikki. Unless he had something better in mind for her.

Audra: And that something is newman media, isn’t it?

Nate: Victor handed it to her to run. According to victoria, it’s still up in air whether she’ll accept or not.

Audra: She’s not gonna turn it down, are you kidding? Which means I’m out, which means victor lied when he told me he had other plans for me. Probably just to pacify me while this all played out.

Nate: Okay, slow down audra, I wasn’t finished. Okay, the news isn’t all bad. You’re not being fired. Per victor, you’ll be nikki’s second-in-command.

Audra: Great. Second-in-command to a woman who has made it clear she doesn’t trust me. Probably doesn’t even like me.

Nate: If it’s what victor wants, she’ll roll with it. Okay? It’s their particular kind of give and take.

Kyle: Um, excuse me for interrupting, but assuming all this goes through, where exactly does that leave me?

Ashley: Have you forgotten? I did end the conflict.

Jack: By walking away? By turning your back on the family? On dad’s company? That’s not a solution I ever hope for. I cannot get it out of my head. I almost lost you. Thank god diane was there.

Ashley: Well, there was other people at the restaurant. I’m sure they would–

Jack: I think you’re missing the point or avoiding it. I’m not sure which.

Ashley: I think you’re making a little bit too much of this.

Jack: Am I? You’re my sister, ashley. My love for you is so much stronger, so much deeper, so much more a part of who I am than all this anger we’ve been sharing. The thought of losing you, even for a second from my life, is more than I want to think about. Please let this gift of life be the olive branch that has been eluding us all this time. Please come back to where you belong. I was stuck.

Ashley: Well, apparently I’m really good at hiding it, but I’ve hated being in this battle with you just as much as you have. When you talk about coming back, I mean… does that mean you can accept tucker in my life because he’s my husband.

Jack: I am willing to try, yes.

Ashley: Do you understand that this entire time I’ve been trying to save your life? All this time. I mean, metaphorically, I, you know, I– I thought diane would be the death of you.

Jack: Metaphorically.

[ Ashley sighs ]

Ashley: Hmm.

Jack: Ashley.

Ashley: Well, you know, I’ve pretty much given up the idea that she would actually try to kill you so that she could inherit your fortune.

[ Jack sighs ] Well, she signed that post-nup, right? I checked it out, it’s legitimate. And now, of course, I owe her my life, so there’s that.

Jack: Go figure, huh? Ash, we are so close to being what we have always been for each other. If you’ll take one step, I’ll take one step, I am convinced with all my heart we can meet in the middle.

Ashley: Okay, okay, okay. Listen, I will back off. I will give her the benefit of the doubt for now.

Jack: Still choking on those words, are you?

Ashley: Like a grape.

Jack: It doesn’t have to be all warm and fuzzy. We haven’t always agreed with each other’s choice of partners.

Ashley: Oh, really? Phyllis.

Jack: Yeah. And victor.

Ashley: Right. Whatever.

Jack: Look, we can be kind and tolerant.

Ashley: To a point. And that point, you’re not gonna like it, but it’s gonna hinge on diane. It has to. I mean, if she behaves herself and– and she turns out to be everything that you’ve said she is all along, then I will not just lay down my sword, I will bury the damn thing.

Jack: I will help you buy the shovel,

Ashley: Okay, but… if she takes one misstep, I’m telling you right now, and if all my fears about her come true, I will be back with a vengeance, jack, and I will be holding that sword so high.

Jack: I am so confident that won’t be necessary. I missed you.

[ Ashley sniffles ] I miss my sister. I miss fighting about the important things. Like who got the last cinnamon roll?

Ashley: You’re a cinnamon hog, so clearly it was you.

Jack: Yeah, come to think of it, I think you’re right.

Ashley: You know what else?

Jack: No, you’re not gonna bring up the halloween candy, are you?

Ashley: You owe me for that, but no.

Jack: You were gonna say something else.

Ashley: I miss you.

Adam: Were you not gonna tell me what’s going on with you and jack?

Billy: It’s a fleeting moment of empathy, okay? It’s not an invitation for us to start calling each other, “bro.”

Adam: Well, see, that’s another thing that we have in common. Because I’m no more interested in that than you are.

Billy: Good.

Adam: I just find it interesting that you’re just not seeing the similarities between you and me.

Billy: Now, that is a sobering thought.

Adam: I’m not talking about the similarities between us. I’m talking about the similarities between our family situation. When it comes to you and me, there really is no comparison.

Billy: I’m almost afraid to ask, but what do you mean by that exactly?

Adam: Come on, it’s simple. I am a cold manipulative narcissist and you, you’re just a screw up.

Billy: Thank you.

Adam: But I will say, to be fair, I have heard that you turned a corner. You’re the only sane, rational executive at jabot these days. I– is that what jack is threatening to take away from you?

Billy: No. No, it’s not that. It just feels like he’s simply waiting for me to, as you so kindly put it, screw up again.

[ Billy sighs ] And it’s just getting really old.

Adam: Well, that is the big difference in our family situation. Victor giveth and victor taketh away on nothing more than a whim or a bad mood with nothing to back it up on the fact that he can. See? Jack is a much fairer boss. He’s a much fairer man. If you earn your position, you respect it and you do right by the company, he will not cut you loose. So, is he really waiting for you to screw up or are– are you?

Nate: If I knew what all this means for you, I’d tell you, but frankly, your name didn’t even come up in the conversation.

Kyle: Wow, that’s confidence inspiring.

Audra: Hey, kyle, don’t worry about it, okay? You know, you can count on me to praise your work and your value to newman media, when I see nikki later today. You know, she’s a smart woman. She’ll get it. Unless there is something she has against you that I don’t know about? Any problems, any vendettas. Uh-oh, what is it?

[ Kyle sighs ] Talk to me.

Kyle: Well, there’s the fact that her granddaughter and i are getting divorced.

Nate: Does nikki know about that?

Kyle: I would assume so. The newman family is nothing if not enmeshed, but I have no idea if nikki knows audra and I are involved. If she doesn’t, she will. And count on it, when that happens, things will get ugly fast.

Audra: Hm. I’m kareem abdul jabbar.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. What can you do with sensitive skin?

Audra: Ugly for me, for you or both of us?

Kyle: We’ll know soon enough. Victor at least respects you. I doubt he feels the same about me now that I’m divorcing his granddaughter.

Audra: Hey, I promise I will have your back on this.

Kyle: Thank you, but forgive me if I don’t hold my breath, I mean, let’s face it, this company has done very well with a small leadership team and I would love for this to work out, but if it doesn’t, I need to start putting together plan B.

Nate: You’re getting a little ahead of yourself there, kyle.

Audra: Yeah, nate’s right. Don’t start filling out job applications just yet, okay? Let’s just see how this all plays out. You know, give me a chance to work my magic. As you know, I can be very persuasive. And I mean, it’s not like you need to work.

Kyle: Okay, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go to work. I’ll see you at the office. And um, thank you for the heads-up. I appreciate it.

Nate: Mm-hmm. See you.

[ Footsteps departing ] You do know he probably won’t survive this, right?

Audra: It’ll be what it’ll be.

Nate: That is a bit cold.

Audra: Oh, it’s not like we’re serious, okay? Kyle and i are just having fun. We both went into this from the beginning with that clear understanding.

Nate: Are you sure it’s clear to both of you?

Audra: Well, it’s time for me to go meet nikki. Wish me luck.

[ Footsteps departing ]

Billy: About this offer, about the information that you have on tucker mccall you were willing to share for the right price?

Adam: What about it? Did you come up with something?

Billy: I’m open to suggestions, if you have any.

Adam: Yes, well, I’m reconsidering. Given my situation, I might need to keep that information for myself.

Billy: Okay, then, that’s that.

[ Sighs ] Thanks for the tease.

[ Billy grunts ] That was intriguing while it lasted.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Jack: So now, that we’ve determined how much we miss each other, at the risk of pressing my luck, where do we go from here? Are you still determined to start a new company that will compete with jabot?

Ashley: Oh, boy. Listen, I need some time to think. I need to have a conversation with tucker, that’s for sure.

Jack: Yeah, of course, I get that. Take all the time you want. Whatever happens, happens. All I really care about is that you and I are brother and sister, not enemies. It means the world to me, ash.

Ashley: Me too.

[ Jack sighs ]

Audra: Hi.

Nikki: Oh, audra, thank you so much for coming.

Audra: Oh, it’s my pleasure. Uh, thank you so much for the invitation. You know, it was such a nice surprise, and a hopeful one, I admit, that you wanted to meet with me.

Nikki: Well, please sit down.

Audra: Of course.

Nikki: May i offer you some tea?

Audra: That would be lovely. Thank you. Thank you so much. Um, I am assuming this has something to do with the sna-newman media merger.

Nikki: We’ll get to that. But first, would you mind telling me what the hell you’re doing with kyle abbott? Kayaking is my thing.

Audra: Oh, I’m so glad you brought up kyle abbott, mrs. Newman. You know, I can’t say enough of what a great job he’s been doing at newman media. You know, he was a very smart hire, if I do say so myself.

Nikki: Oh, my god, that coy act might work on the men in your life, but it won’t get you anywhere with me. You know very well I was not referring to newman media. I was referring to the fling you’re having with him.

Audra: Oh. [ Chuckles ] So, we’re going there.

Nikki: Oh, we’re already there. You do realize that kyle is married to my granddaughter.

Audra: But from what I understand, they’re getting a divorce.

Nikki: Don’t split hairs with me. If you are as smart as some say you are, then you know that the game that kyle is playing with you is merely to avoid the pain of the breakup. Which means you are standing in the way of a possible reconciliation.

Audra: Well, with all due respect, kyle is a grown man who makes his own choices about what he wants and who he wants in his life. And, um… it’s also, my understanding that your granddaughter was hardly blameless in their problems.

Nikki: And your point is?

Audra: Look, I’m not unsympathetic to summer. Look, believe me, mrs. Newman, I know firsthand just how painful that kind of thing can be.

Nikki: Of course, you do. You broke my grandson’s heart. Tell me, is it my family that brings out this self-serving viciousness or is it just your nature?

Audra: Well, apparently, no one ever told you the full story. Things were– they were very complex between him and me and in the end… we– we broke each other’s hearts. You know, and frankly, um, I don’t feel comfortable discussing my private life with my new boss, so…

Nikki: Oh, you know. How did you find out? Oh, of course, nate told you.

Audra: Um, look, I– I don’t think we’re getting anywhere here, so if I may just ask you one question.

Nikki: What is it?

Audra: Am I in or am I out?

Summer: Hello.

Kyle: Sorry, I obviously, didn’t know you were here. How are you?

Summer: Uh, I’m good. How are you? How– how’s harrison?

Kyle: [ Laughs ] Let’s see. Um, he is mad at whoever invented brussels sprouts, and he wants us to get him an emu for his birthday like he saw on tv.

Summer: Yeah, he actually– he told me that yesterday.

Kyle: Yeah? What’d you say?

Summer: I said that he needed to just ask his father.

Kyle: Gee, thanks.

[ Summer chuckles ] So, I hear chloe’s joined marchetti and chelsea’s working remotely. How’s that going?

Summer: It’s– it’s going really well. How’s everything at newman media?

Kyle: It’s hard to say. There seems to be an internal shake up at newman, in general. It remains to be seen how that’ll affect newman media or me, for that matter.

Summer: Well, I’m sure you’ll survive. You always do.

[ Soft piano music ]

Adam: There he is. Ladies and gentlemen, the newly appointed newman golden boy.

Nate: Hm, I’d hardly call myself that, adam.

Adam: Oh, come on. The sash fits, right?

Nate: Have i impressed victor? Absolutely. That’s because I work hard and I’m damn good, but I am still status quo at newman and I didn’t get promoted, but i lucked out and kept my job.

Adam: Oh, and I didn’T. It’s kind of ironic, isn’t it? Victor newman’s son, I’m out, and you’re still there? I mean, I guess, nepotism is overrated after all. Do you want a piece of advice?

Nate: Not particularly.

Adam: Don’t get too comfortable.

Nikki: Are you in or are you out at newman media? It’s a very interesting question.

Audra: More than just interesting from my perspective.

Nikki: Yes, I would imagine. Crucial, actually. On one hand, every instinct is screaming for me to get rid of you. Frankly, I have issues with the way you live your life. Yes, I know. I know. It’s none of my business, as you were so eager to point out. Which would be true if you didn’t continue to target people that I love.

Audra: Might I know the other hand?

Nikki: Well, I can’t argue with the work you’ve done. It’s good, impressive even.

Audra: Well, thank you for noticing.

Nikki: It’s my job to notice, and you did come to victor when adam was trying to blackmail you. So, victor thinks a lot of you.

Audra: Um, well, that’s– that’s great to hear. So, um…

Nikki: So… I have decided to give you a chance.

Audra: Thank you so much, mrs. Newman. I promise you, you– you won’t regret this.

Nikki: All right, well, before you get too excited, there’s one condition.

Audra: Whatever you say.

Nikki: Let kyle and summer have a shot at getting back together.

Audra: I don’t know what that means.

Nikki: It means forget about kyle. Leave him alone or your future at newman media is over.

Summer: So, um… heather, daniel’s ex, she’s gonna be in genoa city for a while, she’s doing some pro bono cases here.

Kyle: Okay.

Summer: Well, I asked her if she could help me with the divorce proceedings. She said that she would.

Kyle: Got it. I’m sure, it’s, uh, for the best, summer.

Summer: Yeah. I’m sure it is too. I mean, we both need to move on, right? Not look back.

Kyle: Right. Better get back to the office.

Summer: Yeah, god, me too. Bye.

Kyle: See you.

[ Footsteps departing ]

Jack: Thanks. I’m glad you’re here.

Billy: Jack, honestly, I’m not in the mood. So, if you don’t mind–

Jack: Could we just talk? I left several messages for you apologizing for our misunderstanding.

Billy: Right, that’s what that was to you, right? A misunderstanding. That’s your euphemism for me reverting back to form? You just– you just can’t help yourself, can you?

Jack: Let’s not turn this into a conflict, okay? Look, this is not the day for it. I just came from being with ashley. It could not have gone better. We went a long way toward reconciling. I’d like to do the same with you.

Billy: So, you bought all that, huh?

Jack: Yeah, I know our sister, that was real. I guarantee it.

[ Ashley sighs ]

John: Now, I am worried, my beauty.

Ashley: About what?

John: You and jack. And what’s happening between the two of you. Honey, all this animosity, it’s not good for you or for the company. And it has to stop. Now, I am counting on you to make the first move.

Ashley: Figure some things out.

Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless…

Daniel: Having heather in town has thrown me for a loop.

Phyllis: Sort of stirred up some old feelings?

Nikki: Not quite ready to talk about newman media. I would much rather talk about you and what the hell you’re doing with your life.

Billy: The way I see it, there’s only one person that’s gonna do whatever they can to protect my family’s company. And you’re looking at him.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

No, no, that’s good. That’s, uh, excellent news. Yeah, we’ll be in touch. Cyrus: It is not often that we get to appreciate and live in the humility of the lord, but on days when our salvation is imminent, our faith calls us to give thanks in an especially joyful way. Hear me when I tell you something good is coming! Yes. And we who have waited with faith and patience and humility are privileged to bear witness. Rejoice, my brothers! Rejoice! Amen! Amen. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I know I’m cutting it close. That concert starts soon. Oh, don’t worry about it. I guess you didn’t see my text. I’m not going. You’re not joking, chase, are you? No. I’m 100% serious. You want me to move in with you? Yes. No! Slow night, huh? Well, not exactly. I sent everyone home. You sent everyone home? Why? I wanted us to be alone out here. To do what, exactly? Remember. Remember? Yes, ned. Remember us. Remember who you used to be. Papa… why do you have that look? What look would that be? The look you get when you’re about to tell me something I won’t like.

[ Door opens ] Wow. It seems so empty. This was your “big surprise”? A visit to aunt lulu’s house? Georgie. Some surprise. I thought we were going to the woodchucks game. Oh. Don’t worry, james. We’re gonna get to a game very soon. But right now, we are on an amazing adventure. What? Yeah. What is this amazing adventure? We’re here to explore. Explore what? The house! And maybe to stake out which bedroom is gonna be your new room. Wait. You mean — no more sharing. We’re moving in here. This is our new house. Unfortunately, that’s a question for olivia, and she’s not here right now, so you’re — you’re gonna have to wait. Goodbye.

[ Inhales sharply ] Hey.

[ Chuckling ] Hi! This is a nice surprise. I didn’t think you were coming here tonight. Well, you know, this is the best joint in town. Especially the view.

[ Chuckles ] Well, I’m glad you like it. Listen, sonny, there’s something that I really need to talk to you about. I — hello, you two. Dad. Nina, are you joining us? Um…n-no. This dinner is just for you two. I have to work. Olivia asked me to be on the floor a bit tonight. Okay — wait, wait, wait. What’d you — what’d you have to tell me? I can just take care of it myself. It’s nothing. It really is nothing. Enjoy your dinner. There is a great steak special tonight. Well, then I got it all — I got great steak, gorgeous fiancée, brilliant daughter. You know, I got it all right here, right?

[ Sighs ]

Olivia… just please — just please listen to me for a second. Please. Your daughter, ned’s daughter, brook lynn, is in a lot of pain right now because of something that tracy did. She ran out of the house because of your mother. Don’t — don’t put that on me. No, no, no, no, of course not. But you — you were always the bridge between the two of them. You could always sort it out. There are people who still need you. Your mother and your daughter and our son, “the kid,” leo. For their sake… could you please just try? I’ll send a waitress over. I want to thank you, kristina, for being so supportive of nina. Dad, I genuinely like her. Not everyone’s against you two. And I can see how happy she makes you. You deserve that. Cyrus: Today is a day for miracles, a time of righteousness and, yes, vengeance. But without the dark, there can be no light. And without vengeance, there can be no righteousness. So let us pray that this vengeance passes by unscathed so we may testify to the cleansing power of our creator, for all the world’s a cage, and we are all merely inmates in god’s celestial play, trying to break free from the grip of licentiousness and arrogance and evil. As it says in deuteronomy 23:14, “for the lord thy god walketh in the midst of thy camp to deliver thee and to give up thine enemies before thee.” “Therefore shall thy camp be holy that he see no unclean thing in thee and turn away from thee.” Grandma nina!

[ Laughing ] Wiley! Hi! Oh! Look how happy she is. We can’t go to the concert anymore because now suddenly dex has to do something for sonny. Ohh. I hate that you know exactly how I’m feeling. Okay, so dex has to work for sonny, and you have to make alternate plans. I’ve been there, done that. No, mom, it’s not that. I-it’s the situation. And I know I said that I was moving on and trying to put it behind me, but I hate that he’s putting himself in danger. That’s who dex was when you met him. He’s a guy who takes risks, for better or for worse, josslyn. Well, yeah, but — but now he’s protecting sonny and taking those risks because of you and because of michael. And that’s his choice.

And for his protection. Yeah, I know. I know. It’s just, some days are harder than others. I get that. But if you got into this thinking you were gonna change him, that’s not gonna happen. You don’t want to live with me? Chase, I-I don’t really think you’ve thought this through. Yes, I have, brook lynn. Oh, really? Because a whole two-and-a-half-second deliberation isn’t exactly thorough. It’s not like we haven’t lived together before. Exactly. That’s what I’m saying. The first time I drove you absolutely crazy. The second time was for bailey. And the third time — the third time will be for love.

So, aunt maxie and her family are gonna live in my mom’s house? Your mother always loved maxie and her children. I mean, don’t you think it’ll be nice to have some people in that house? It’s been sitting empty. Yeah, but I just wish it was my mom coming home to live there. Well, yeah, I do, too. But how do you feel about maxie and the kids moving in? Why bother asking me when it’s already done? Listen, the decision to rent was dante’S. I’m just asking because I care about your feelings. So, why don’t you tell me? It’s just another place, like all of the places I’ve lived. None of them last. This house is huge! And there’s a backyard! I can make a tree house! Wait, how many rooms are there? Um… alright, bucko, let’s take a reconnaissance mission and find out and count the rooms. You ready? Ready for takeoff? Let’s go!

[ Laughs ] What’s going on, georgie? Don’t you like the house? Of course I like it. I remember playing here when I was little. It seemed even bigger then. But… this is aunt lulu’s house. I — I don’t want to change dex. Why would you say that? ‘Cause I’ve been down this road many times. And I wouldn’t be your mother if I didn’t want to spare you from unnecessary pain. I’m not in pain. Okay. Alright. You don’t have to convince me. You don’T. You just have to be honest with yourself. I mean, josslyn, worrying about dex, knowing he’s always in danger — that’s a heavy burden. And if you decide that you don’t want to do this anymore and you don’t want to be a part of that life, it’s okay. You just have to admit it first to yourself. And then you got to tell dex. Oh, my god, mom, don’t put your history with sonny onto me, okay? I’m just disappointed. And that doesn’t mean that i want to break up with dex, okay? Actually, I think I’m still gonna go to the concert because I have a bunch of friends going, so… okay, great. Don’t wait up for me. Okay. Chase, you know I love you, right? Yes. And part of the reason I do is because you’re like — you’re like a knight. When someone’s in trouble, you can’t help but want to fix it. But you’re not just someone, brook lynn. We’re in a good place. I see you’re hurting at home. I don’t — chase, I appreciate your concern. Really, I do. But I just — I don’t think that living together is what we need right now. I am so surprised to see you. I’m glad you came, wiley. I didn’t know he would be here.

[ Laughs ] I want to go see grandpa. Yeah? Come on, let’s go see him. Hey, hey! Right here, right here! Yeah! Wiley, you are looking very sharp, my friend. Mommy, when can we go to grandpa’s and have a barbecue and play baseball? Well, hey, you know what? Where I live is kind of high up. You really can’t play baseball. But if you stand on the terrace, you can see all of port charles. Really? Mom, let’s all go and have a picnic on the terrace. You come, too, kristina. Okay. And amelia, grandma nina, grandpa sonny, mommy, daddy. And can we invite leo, too?! You can invite anybody you want. Hey. Looks like a party. Yeah. Nina was here when I arrived. And then wiley saw sonny and had to say hello. Willow, if it’s okay with you, it’s okay with me. Daddy! Hey, bud. Hey.

Georgie, look, aunt lulu is my best friend. And I think she would want us to fill this place with laughter and memories, just like the memories we made with her when she lived here. Won’t it make you miss aunt lulu more if we live here? Oh, sweetie.

[ Breathes deeply ] I’m gonna miss aunt lulu no matter where we live. That’s not gonna change. But being here… does make me feel a teeny bit closer to her. You know, it’s almost like she gave us a little present, right? Look, I wouldn’t have brought you guys here if I didn’t feel good about it. Can I paint my room purple? Yes, you can paint your room purple.

[ Laughs ]

[ Footsteps approaching ] Guess what, georgie. There are four bedrooms, one for each of us, and I’ve already picked mine. Hey, no fair! Provisionally, james. I’m older. I get to pick first. Oh, I forgot. Age before beauty. I am so glad you’re doing this. So am I. What do you want me to do? Oh, thank you. Thank you so much. I’m not making any guarantees. I understand. I understand that. I just want to walk you through what happened that night, alright? The night of the supposed accident? Yeah, just to see if anything comes back to you, right? Wait. How can you walk me through it when you weren’t here? I heard that it was just tracy and drew that saw it. Yes, but drew — drew told me everything that happened. So, you know, we could just — we could just give it a try, right? Alright. Whatever. Lay it on me. Okay. You started out over here, right? And you saw drew and tracy arguing over here. Okay? So, you just walk to me slowly and you see if anything feels familiar. Okay? You ready? Ready. You just said it, chase. We’re in a really good place, and I’d really like to keep it that way. And moving in — it’s not gonna change that. If anything, it’ll make us closer. Closer to world war iii.

[ Sighs ] Look, I drove you crazy when I was just temporarily couch surfing. Look, I am not the neatest person, okay? I leave my stuff everywhere. I thrive in creative clutter. Aha! See? I told you I’m right. So, we had a few discussions about clutter. More than a few. You were counting the days until I left you to your zen world of order. And then when you left, my place felt empty. I missed you, and it — and it hasn’t felt right since you left. Make it right. Move back in with me. Oh, hey, steve. So, do you want the usual? Busy night on the docks, huh? Yes, ma’am, to both. Okay. Hey, I like what you’ve done with the place. Thanks. Yeah, it’s gotten a lot nicer since you took over. Well, it is a personal project, you know? Um, look, uh… this might not be my place to say, but I thought you should know. Your ex-husband, uh — he’s in for a world of trouble. Brothers, let’s, uh, take a break to meditate on our redemption. Warden garten, I hope you haven’t come to stop our study. My friends and I are only trying to let go of our past so we can look toward a righteous future. Don’t worry, cyrus. I’m not here to break up your group. I just wanted to see it for myself. I’m impressed. Your support means a great deal. Well, you genuinely seem like a changed man. After my heart attack, I have come to see life in a new light. My faith was rejuvenated. While I might not share your exact faith, cyrus, I’m relying on you for our common cause. Oh, trust me, warden garten. I want nothing but the best. I believe everything is unfolding exactly as it’s meant to be. Let’s hope so. I have only one purpose now — to bring about god’s will on earth. I’d hate for you to disappoint me after all your progress. Warden garten? Sometimes the most unexpected alliances can lead to extraordinary outcomes. Who knows what difference I and my flock together can achieve? Dex: They’re late. Sometimes there are delays. The shipment is too important for them not to pick up. They’ll be here. Well, the sooner, the better. The boss wants this stuff out of here. Hello, michael. Nina. I’ll get you a table. Hey, trish? And you, little man, it was so good to see you. Bye, grandma nina! Bye, sweetheart. Right this way. Daddy, can we have grandpa and nina over for baseball and a barbecue? They live up too high. We can have a party with everyone at our house. Well, you know what? If that’s what you want, I think we can make it happen, mr. Corinthos.

[ Laughs ] I can’t believe how fast he’s growing up. Such a nice surprise. Was that you? No. I wish I could take credit for that, but I cannot tell a lie. That was pure synchronicity. So, why’d you want to meet me for dinner? Do I have to have a reason? You always do. Yeah, I guess that’s true. Okay. I wanted you to be the very first to know that the lgbtqia+ foundation board is complete! The corinthos-davis house is a go! That’s fantastic. I’m so excited. And, dad, I could not have done it without you.

okay, this is the spot where you fell. Drew said that you came rushing towards him over here and that you had something really important to tell him and — nina. Hi.

[ Chuckles ] I-I don’t mean to interrupt whatever you two are doing, but marika said that you closed the pool, and I was just coming out to see if everything’s okay. Oh. Yeah. I’m sorry. I should have warned you. Uh, we’re just doing a little exercise, trying to see if we could stimulate eddie’s memory. Hi, nina. Hello, ned. Are you sure that’s wise? Yeah, I think anything that could help. Well, I-I know that trauma is very unpredictable, and I would hate for you to risk anything. Thank you very much, nina. I think we’re okay. No, I don’t mean anything by that. I-I hope your experiment works.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Good luck. I’ve really done a number on you, haven’t I? Always shuffling around, moving from place to place. It can’t have been easy, and if I hurt you, I’m sorry. That’s — that’s my fault. I always knew you’d be with me if you could. I know you’re in between places, living with anna while I was at camp and with grandma away, I can’t stay in her apartment with spencer, ace, and esme. Dante and sam are nice, but… it’s not your home. I know. And that’s what I’ve always wanted to give you — a stable place to call home. Listen to me. Things are changing. As we speak, things are changing. I know. Things are always changing. That’s the only thing that stays the same. I’m gonna be totally honest. It feels really strange to be here after all this time. Look, I-I know we had to get out of that apartment. And I was putting together my finances so I could buy a place, and then tracy’s horrible lawsuit happened. So I was happy when sam suggested that we rent this place. I mean, can you imagine trying to juggle a lawsuit and a mortgage at the same time? I would have been pulling my hair out. Yeah. Tracy quartermaine leaves a trail of destruction wherever she goes. I don’t like to wish ill on anyone, but I will be so glad when you wipe that smug smile off her face and win the lawsuit. And you will win because you have the truth on your side. I’m not so sure about that, mom. Tracy quartermaine is ruthless. And she’ll do anything to win, including using her own granddaughter as a spy. Chase, you know the expression “be careful what you wish for, you just might get it”? I know it. Whatever happened to the fearless blq who leaps before she looks? Well, maybe she became a little more cautious because she sprained her ankles a few too many times. Look… I have something to lose now — you. And I don’t want you to regret me moving in. I’m not gonna regret you moving in. You might. It’s not just because I’m messy, chase. It’s ’cause I do stuff, stupid stuff that I regret, like getting mixed up with tracy’s dirty tricks. Um, I don’t want to cause you any problems… but what do you mean, “trouble”? I don’t know. And it’s probably nothing, you know, but, uh, I passed what seemed to be a staging area, you know, down by elm near fisherman village. Looked like feds. But definitely not local. And, uh…I heard the name “corinthos.” Today is a day our unspoken adversary is just one step behind. And those of us who have been in his employ, willingly or not, are now called upon to awaken and to cast off his infernal darkness. Wake up! Your life is waiting for you! I wish more residents were as inspired as mr. Renault. You weren’t after aurora’s ceo — you wanted to take down carly. I don’t know where you came up with this, ned, but you couldn’t be more wrong. I just overheard your conversation with your lawyer — martin. You know, everyone believes that I was the one who handed carly and drew over to the sec, but it was you all along. Willow: Nina. Hi. Is everything alright? Did you order? Oh, yes. Yes, we did. Thank you. But, um, wiley has an idea that we should have a barbecue with baseball at our house. Yeah! I just got a new glove! Nina: [ Gasps ] Does that sound like something you would like to join us for?

[ Chuckles ] I would love to go.

[ Chuckles ] I don’t want to jinx it, but I think wiley might be the key to michael and willow accepting nina. They have been through a lot, and I think things are finally starting to turn. I’m so happy for you both. And I think you’re leading the way with this new center. Yeah? I’m very proud of you. Thanks, dad.

Anything? I don’t know. I’ve been told so often about what happened that night that I-I feel like i might remember. But I don’T. I don’T. This is just another pool. Okay. Well, I guess I knew it was a long shot. I’m sorry to disappoint you. No, no, no, no, you were amazing. Really. And thank you so much for trying. Olivia, you have been really good to me. And I have been pretty hard on you. And I just want to say I’m sorry. Well, you are forgiven. Friends? Friends. It’s not just about us moving in together, chase, although that’s definitely nerve-wracking. Look, I don’t have the greatest track record. And this whole situation with tracy is just another thing I messed up. I’m not asking or expecting you to be perfect, brook lynn. I love you just the way you are, flaws and all. And I’m not trying to rescue you. You moving in — it makes sense. To me, anyway. How about you? When you strip away all the worries and regrets of the past, how do you feel about it?

[ Inhales sharply ]

[ Coughing ] Here you go. No, no, no, no, no. Please. This is on me. Nah, nah, you don’t have to do that. Yes. I really appreciate the information you gave me. Thank you. Thank you. Chase: Excuse me, carly. May I have a glass of water for brook lynn? Would it be alright if I brought wiley over there and showed him how to make a roy rogers? And you can tell me all about this new mitt. What do you say, bud? Can I please?

[ Laughter ] Okay, but just a small one. You don’t want all that sugar. Oh, no, we definitely don’t want that. Thanks. Come on.

[ Sighs ] You, um — you sure you’re okay with this? You’ve been having a lot of nina lately. It’s fine. Look, I’m not 100% comfortable with her, but wiley is. Yeah, I’ll say. And we have to start somewhere. The important thing is bringing this whole family back together. Okay, now we add the sugar-free cola. We don’t want it to get too… dad, we can go over there if you want. No, she’s got it covered. I want to hear more about your board ’cause I know you did a lot to get it going. Yes. Okay. So, we have dr. Randolph, michael, and you know diane.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Yeah. You can get that, dad. Uh, no, this is more important.

[ Ringing stops ] We may be tarred with a brush whose mark can never be removed, but that does not mean we can’t contribute to god’s work. Perhaps we may never sit at the foot of his majestic throne, but we can know that our lives have not been lived in vain. There is a way for each and every one of us to do our part of the divine work, no matter how small that part may seem, for the lord said the lowest among us, the most damaged among us is capable of redemption. And he who protects the innocent is first among men. There they are. Alright, you know what to do. I want everything ready for a quick transfer.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Hey, I got to take this, okay? I’ll be back before the ship docks. You got it, dex.

[ Ringing continues ] Ms. Spencer? Dex. Look, josslyn told me you were doing a job for sonny tonight. Uh… look, whatever it is, get the hell out of there. There’s gonna be a raid. Do you hear me? Get out of there now!

I have a real good feeling about you being here, almost as if the house is welcoming you. It wants you to make it into a home again. I think lulu would want that, too. It’s a new beginning. Kind of like you and the hospital. Yeah, you’re right. That came as a surprise. I never saw myself working as a volunteer at general hospital. I’m sure you’ll be a lot better at it than I was. I love you, maxie jones.

[ Voice breaking ] And I’m so proud of you. Oh, mom, don’t cry. Come here. I love you, too. James: Mom, I got the nook! Oh! My room has a secret hiding spot! Yeah, well, I got the view and the window seat. And bailey can have the little room. When can we move in? Not soon enough. Should we go home and start packing? Alright. Come on. Okay. Let’s go. Charlotte, I know I’ve let you down. Papa, let’s not talk about that. No. I’ve made mistakes. I’ve made far more mistakes than I care to mention. It’s taken me way too long to get you the stable life that you deserve. I don’t care how long it took. I just wish we could be together all the time. We will be. We will be. I just have to get these last details in place. But until then, know this — you’re the most important person in my world. It’ll always be the two of us. Just the two of us, papa. Oh. Ahh. I literally talked myself hoarse trying to come up with all the reasons why I shouldn’t live with you. You know you have to take care of your throat, brook lynn. The truth is, I do want this. I want nothing more than to live with you.

[ Chuckles ] I knew you would see it my way eventually.

[ Laughs ] Let’s go home. We’re just about to move some cargo. The boat is docking. Dex, forget about that. There is no time. You have to get out of there.

[ Radio chatter ] Coast guard! Nobody move! Fbi! Hands where I can see ’em! You’re all under arrest. Get down on the ground. Now!

[ Radio chatter ] Cyrus: Today the almighty will focus his cleansing vengeance on those who collaborate with our great enemy. Proverbs 2:22 — “but the wicked shall be cut off from the earth and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.” Well, the least I can do is buy you a drink after going through the poolside psychodrama with me. I’ll never turn down top shelf. Well, there’s a little quartermaine left in you. That looks delicious. With two cherries. The important thing for the first board meeting is that we can establish — sonny corinthos, you’re under arrest for violations of the national security act. Wait, wait. What the hell? That’s — get your hands off my daughter! Mr. Corinthos, do not escalate this. I’m not escalating nothing! Kristina, kristina, hold on. No. There’s no — there’s no problem here. The hell there is. They’re arresting dad. We’re gonna clear this up, kristina. Dad — cuff him. Whoa. Hey, that’s my — what are they doing to grandpa? Why are they taking him? It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s gonna be okay. Kristina, this is gonna be cleared up. But it’s crazy. Dad. They can’t just take you — no. No. Wait. Hold on. Hey — michael, do something. Cyrus: “The lord trieth the righteous, but the wicked and him that loveth violence, his soul hateth. Upon the wicked, he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and horrible tempest. This shall be the portion of their cup!”

Transcript provided by and proofread by Suzanne

 

Finn: So, this is– this is for real? You’re– you’re sure?

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Yeah?

Steffy: Yeah. I want to bring the kids, and I want to come back home.

Finn: You have no idea how bad I’ve wanted to hear you say those words.

[ Both chuckling ]

[ Liam sighs ]

[ Knocking on door ]

Liam: Uh, hey, what are you doing here?

Ridge: I have some news about Steffy.

Sheila: Am I boring you?

Deacon: What? Uh, no, I– I just got a message that the health inspector is going to be here in a couple of days. I, uh… work just never stops… but then again, neither do you.

Sheila: I’m going to take that as a compliment.

Deacon: Look, I know that you want to repair your relationship with Finn, and I’m skeptical, and I also know it’s not going to deter you.

Sheila: Look at you. He’s charming, and he’s a quick learner. You know what? That just might get you another massage.

Deacon: I would rather have a colonoscopy and a date at the DMV.

[ Sheila laughs ]

Deacon: Let me ask you something. I– I know that you want to have a real lasting relationship with Finn, but you said “today.” What’s going on in that crazy, sexy head of yours, Sheila?

Sheila: You know, I’ve been known to work miracles with inspectors, among others. I’m pretty sure I can get this place to pass.

Deacon: Hey, lady, I don’t know what kind of, uh, establishment you think we’re running here, but it’s on the up-and-up. We’ll pass on our own merit.

Sheila: Look at you.

Deacon: What?

Sheila: Like a daddy bear protecting his restaurant. That is so sexy when you are so focused and successful. It kind of gets me going.

Deacon: Hm. You know what else? It lets you dodge my question. So tell me, what are you up to?

[ Sheila chuckles ]

Sheila: Okay, fine. I, uh… I just, I– I’m tired of feeling like my life is on hold, and I’m going to do something about that. I’m going to make it happen, today.

Liam: Wh– Steffy? What– what about Steffy, that you’d have to come here?

Ridge: She’s made a decision. She’s taking the kids and going back to Finn.

Finn: I’m sorry. I am so sorry that I lost your trust. You know I never meant to. But I know in– I mean, I have known since the moment I met you that you would always come first, okay? And the same goes for our sweet little family. You can always trust that, okay? Oh, my God, I missed you. I missed you, Kelly and Hayes so much.

Steffy: Kelly and Hayes have missed you. And never doubt how much I’ve missed you. I love you so much.

Finn: I love you.

Sheila: Oh, don’t.

Deacon: I didn’t say a word.

Sheila: No, but I know that look. You have made your opinions perfectly clear about me having a relationship with Finn.

Deacon: Look, all I was going to say is this, you shouldn’t feel like your life is on hold. Hell, you’ve been given another chance here. All charges dropped, Sheila. You can start over… you can reinvent yourself. You got a place to stay. You’ve got someone you can count on.

Sheila: Oh, Deacon, don’t. And don’t misunderstand what I have said. I am deeply grateful for everything that you have done for me, and I try to show my appreciation as often as I can, but if– if I’m being honest, I feel like my– my life is on hold. Like I’m– I’m held up in this– in this tiny apartment because no one is going to accept me. Hell, they– they all hate me. But I feel if I– if I can just win Finn over, nothing else is going to matter. Now, I will finally be accepted by my beautiful, handsome son that I was forced to put up for adoption years ago.

Liam: I mean, I guess I just– I have a hard time believing Steffy would choose to go back to Finn when nothing’s changed, right? The situation is the same. The– the stakes are the same. The risks are the same and– and now that Finn has made it clear to Sheila that he’s vulnerable to her, she’s going to strike again. Like, Steffy knows this, she’s smarter than this. She’s– no offense. That’s not– I’m not, that’s not what I’m saying….

Ridge: I know what you meant.

Liam: I really hope she doesn’t take her eye off the ball.

Ridge: I don’t think she will. She still has nightmares about Sheila and what she did to her.

Liam: Well, that’s the problem. None of us should be having any dreams about Sheila, nightmare or otherwise, because the woman should be spending the rest of her life in prison.

Ridge: And I think I’m responsible for her not being in prison.

Liam: Why are you responsible? You and my dad did literally everything you could–

Ridge: We did everything? Really? Did we?

Liam: Well…

Ridge: No, your dad’s plan made no sense. And I shouldn’t have trusted him because he’s an idiot. No offense.

Liam: None taken.

Ridge: I knew none of that was ever going to be admissible in court. I should’ve known that. Surveillance cameras he just put in? Of course it’s not going to work. And here I am in a basement with Chen for week after week learning how he grew up in Pacoima, like I care.

Liam: I– I know, but–

Ridge: I should’ve asked more questions. I should have been– I should have done more.

Liam: I’m trying to tell you, this is the difference between you and Finn. One of you is willing to do everything, whatever it takes to protect your family, and the other one isn’t, and this is what’s freaking me out. It’s not just that Finn is complacent. He’s sympathetic to Sheila, and she’s around now. She’s not going anywhere, and we’ve well-established that there is no restraining order, there’s no security detail, there’s nothing that’s going to just keep her away. She wants love, right? That’s what she wants. And she’s decided that who she wants it from is… is her son.

Finn: Do the kids know that they’re coming home?

Steffy: No, I– I wanted to discuss it with you first.

Finn: Oh, yeah, sure. Yeah.

Steffy: Look, I have to admit I’m a bit– I am a bit nervous about bringing Kelly and Hayes back, knowing that Sheila is out there somewhere.

Finn: Yeah, I, um… I made a visit to Liam earlier. I made it clear that he needs to respect you and our marriage. But, um… he actually said something that resonated. It is my job first and foremost to assure you that you’re safe from Sheila — you, and the kids. And I promise that I will do everything in my power to protect you guys. Okay, you’re going to be safe here. All right?

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Yeah. Yeah.

[ Deacon groans ]

Deacon: What are you looking for?

Sheila: I am tired of waiting for this miracle reunion with my son. I’m going to make it happen.

Deacon: Sheila, maybe you ought to just take a minute.

Sheila: Take a minute? Have you listened to anything at all that I have said?

Deacon: Okay, if you’re not going to take a minute, then take stock, okay? You beat the law, again. And then you literally got Finn to embrace you after the fact.

Sheila: I didn’t do that. I– it was– it was bigger, our…

Deacon: Oh– oh, you– your connection, right? No, uh, look, I get it, okay? But that’s a big step. You shot the guy, and you left him for dead. And then through the craziest– strangest set of circumstances, you were at the right place at the right time to save his stepdaughter from drowning, on his watch. And then what happened? He started looking at you with new eyes. Hell, he even called you “Mom.”

Sheila: That’s why I have to do this. I– I’ve got to seize this moment.

Deacon: Okay. Okay. But you’ve come so far in such a little amount of time. Is it really smart to push so hard, so fast? You’ve taken some steps in the right direction. Steffy and those kids are the most important thing in Finn’s life, not you, and I’m sorry to say it, but it’s true, okay? She’s the love of his life.

Sheila: Yeah. Those are tough cards to be dealt, aren’t they? A mother. We nurture this little being inside of us. We protect it, we feed it, we do everything that we think is best for it. And then we scrutinize what kind of a– a person is this going to be? Who’re they going to grow up to be like? And we pray that they don’t make the same mistakes that we make. I was asked to give my son up long before I ever had the joy of– of bringing him into this world. Now, decades later, I get to– to suffer that– that disappointment that so many mothers do. Where your son falls in love with someone else and loves her more than he loves his own mother, regardless of the nurturing and everything that you did to make sure that they would strive. But it’s a bitter pill to swallow. But I can tell you this: Steffy is never going to come between Finn and me again.

Deacon: Sheila, what– what are you doing? Where are you going?

Ridge: I know Sheila. I know everything about her. It’s– she had the same MO when she was going after my dad, and you’re right. All she wants is to be loved, and man, I wish I felt sorry for her, but I don’t.

Liam: Well, Finn does.

Steffy: I missed your touch.

Finn: I do, um– I have a confession.

Steffy: Okay.

Finn: Yeah, there’s a– a sink full of clothes and take-out boxes under that cutting board.

Steffy: What?

Finn: [ Chuckles ] Well, when you called, I rushed home as fast as I could, and I was trying to clean and– and– and pick up, and I heard your car come, and I just– I– I panicked because I’m– I’m– I’m just– I’m a mess without you, literally. I don’t know.

Steffy: Well, you better not be thinking that I’m going to be cleaning up because that’s going to be on you. I’m just so confused. You’re the one who always loves to clean.

Finn: Well, when we’re together… but apparently when we’re not, it turns back into my med school days.

Steffy: Well, I’m glad I met you after med school.

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: But you are going to clean that up, okay?

Finn: Oh yes, of course, of course. I got you.

Steffy: But I have to ask you something a little more serious, and I– I really want the– the truth, okay?

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: Have you had any contact with Sheila while I’ve been at my grandfather’s?

Finn: I have not heard a word from Sheila, Steffy. Zero contact, I promise, okay? And even if I did, I would tell her never to bother me or my family again. I know the threat of Sheila. I’ll never forget what happened to you in that alley, okay? And it kills me that you suffered from the hands of her. Honey, you are– you are everything to me, okay? I would give my life for you. And I meant it before, and I mean it now: I promise I will do everything in my power to keep Sheila away from you and the kids. Believe me.

Steffy: I do. I believe you.

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: Oh, my God.

[ Steffy groans ]

Liam: Sheila’s caused so much harm. She’s done so much damage, and yet there’s– it’s like there’s this one holdout, this one guy, Finn, who just isn’t getting the memo.

Ridge: Not his fault Sheila gave birth to him.

Liam: No, it’s not his fault she gave birth to him, but it is his fault for embracing her, for calling her mother, for giving her even the slightest hint that they could have a relationship. Like, what’s he doing?

Ridge: Look, I like the kid.

Liam: I know.

Ridge: I respect him. Did I want my daughter to be married to the spawn of Satan? No, but it happened. And now they’re moving back in together. It’s not what I want, trust me.

Liam: Tell you something? It’s kind of nice to hear you making some of the same noise as I’ve been about this, because, lately, I feel like all of my concerns for the safety of my family are falling on deaf ears, and it’s– like, I– I– I’m not, you know, I haven’t hidden the fact, at least not from you, that I love Steffy. I cherish what we had. Yeah, if I had the chance to resurrect our relationship, of course I would, but that’s not– even if none of that ever happened, you know… I still care about her and– and– and I want to protect her, and especially, I want to protect my daughter. And this is what’s got me so concerned because I think Finn is so blinded by this connection he has to Sheila that… this isn’t going to end well.

Finn: I can’t tell you what this means to me. Having your faith and your belief in me again, and the fact that you’re going to give me a second chance. You leaving, that was… that was hell. I mean, it was way worse than when I was stuck in that hospital bed because this time, it was my own fault. I never should have put you in that position, and I never wanted to let you down.

Steffy: I know, I know that. And I never wanted to take the kids, but I felt like I had to in order to keep them safe.

Finn: I understand. I understand, okay? And I wouldn’t ask you guys to come back here if I didn’t feel like I could protect you.

Steffy: I really do believe you.

Finn: Look, I vow that you will never have to deal with Sheila again.

[ Steffy groans ]

Finn: God, I’ve missed you. I’ve missed… pushing your body up against mine.

Steffy: I missed you, too.

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: It’s one of the reasons why I didn’t want to bring the kids home just yet because I felt like we needed a little time to… reconnect. You feel that, too?

Finn: Absolutely.

[ Steffy gasps ]

Finn: Wait, wait, what?

Steffy: What?

Finn: What is it? You okay?

Steffy: Yeah, no, no, it’s nothing. Nothing.

[ Finn moans ]

Update written by Joseph

Belle is at the Brady Pub, on the phone with Marlena. Belle talks about the relief knowing that Shawn is getting help and agreed to the 24 hour hold, though she knows he won’t get past this in just a few hours. Belle finishes her call as Brady enters the Pub. Belle hugs him and thanks him for agreeing to meet. Brady says it sounded urgent and asks if it’s about reopening the custody suit. Belle informs him that it’s about Philip. Brady realizes that she knows that Philip is alive and well. Belle reveals that she knows lot more than that as she knows what he wants. Brady can’t believe that Belle took on Philip as a client and questions who conned her in to doing that.

Chloe sits at home and thinks back to Philip showing up at her door, Philip revealing what he had done, then asking Brady if he would have Philip arrested, and calling Belle to be Philip’s lawyer. Xander interrupts her by commenting that she’s a million miles away. Chloe claims she was just thinking about all she has to do at work. Xander suggests they should get to work but Chloe asks him to go ahead as she has a million things to do. Xander offers to help her but Chloe promises she’ll be fine and that it’s no big deal. Xander remarks that if he didn’t know any better, he’d say she was trying to get rid of him. They then hear a glass break and Xander comments that if he didn’t know any better, he’d also say they aren’t alone.

Stefan makes sure he and Gabi are alone in their room as they go over knowing now that Dimitri married Gwen to get his hands on the family fortune and also that he has a side piece. Gabi calls it risky behavior to be sneaking his side piece in to the DiMera Mansion. Stefan calls it stupid behavior because if Elliot finds out, his fortune is gone. They wonder when Dimitri would’ve met someone else anyways or why he wouldn’t just kick Gwen to the curb and marry the side piece instead. Gabi declares that the burning question is why Dimitri married Gwen instead of the side piece.

Dimitri argues that Leo can’t be serious about dressing up as Gwen to come meet the lawyer. Leo says he’s serious and all he asks for is the check he promised him. Leo points out that the act would have to be perfect and no one knows Gwen better than he does.

Gwen questions why Kristen would assume Dimitri told her everything and what she means. Kristen claims it’s nothing at all and that she just jumped to the wrong conclusion. Kristen tells Gwen to just forget she said anything. Gwen says she would like to but she can’t because it’s Kristen. Gwen states that she and Dimitri just got back from their honeymoon and they are madly in love, so she questions why Kristen would assume she’d be so angry that she’d want to hit him over the head. Kristen repeats that she jumped to the wrong conclusion. Gwen feels it’s not as random as she’d like her to believe. Gwen brings up Kristen saying she and Dimitri were discussing strategy for the DiMera board room and that Dimitri said they were going to partner up with another member of the family, but he didn’t say which family member. Gwen asks if she thought she would be so pissed off by it which Kristen goes along with, so Gwen questions who it is. Kristen says she’ll have to ask Dimitri. Gwen argues that she can see Kristen is dying to let the cat out of the bag. Kristen then agrees to tell her but adds that Gwen has to tell Dimitri that she forced her to give her the name. Kristen then tells Gwen that it’s Chad and that she told Dimitri she would be furious. Gwen responds that she’s not furious, but confused because everyone knows Chad hates her for coming between he and Abigail, and he’s not fond of Kristen, so she questions why Chad would want to partner up with her husband and Kristen.

Dimitri argues that the lawyer is no fool and would spot Leo in a second. Leo argues that he must not know drag and that he can make this work. Dimitri warns him about how much money would be riding on him. Leo brings up Dimitri pretending to be an ISA officer in his attempt to take over the world. Leo asks if Dimitri is saying yes.

Stefan wonders why Dimitri wouldn’t marry the side woman instead of Gwen. Gabi suggests she could be married or engaged but questions why he would marry Gwen when she has a worse reputation than herself. Gabi thinks there’s another reason he married Gwen and it’s big. Gabi complains that they need to figure this out today.

Brady questions Belle discussing legal strategy with Philip and Chloe to try to figure out how Philip won’t have to pay for his crimes. Belle insists that Philip is sorry for what he’s done. Brady guesses this is why Shawn didn’t call him back last night and explains that he went straight to Shawn’s office but he wasn’t there, so he left him a note to call him right away. Brady assumes that means Shawn is on Philip’s side. Belle then reveals to Brady that Shawn is no longer police commissioner since Paulina became mayor and decided Rafe should be in that job. Brady apologizes for shooting his mouth off. Belle informs Brady that Shawn is in a really bad place right now as he’s never going to forgive himself for shooting Bo and now he blames himself for Victor’s death, so she worried that Shawn could hurt himself or worse. Belle adds that Marlena got Shawn to commit himself to a 24 hour watch at the hospital, so he’s safe for now. Brady asks if there’s anything he can do. Belle says there’s only one thing and that’s not press charges against Philip.

Chloe reminds Xander that he said he wanted to get to the office. Xander questions ignoring the loud noise from her bedroom. Chloe tries to claim it was the neighbor’s apartment. Xander asks if it’s Brady and says now he knows why Chloe wanted him to go to the office without her. Xander guesses that Brady came by while he was in the shower and that she told him to hide in the room because he was still there. Chloe calls that ridiculous and says it’s not Brady. Xander asks who it is then. Chloe then calls for him to come on out, so Philip reveals himself, shocking Xander.

Gwen asks Kristen what Chad has to gain by working with her and Dimitri since he’s at Titan now. Kristen says he’s still a voting member of the DiMera board and nobody else has approached him yet, so she suggested that she and Dimitri try to entice him in to being a silent partner. Gwen tells Kristen to entice whoever she pleases and to leave her out of it. Gwen decides she wants to take a nap and exits the room.

Gabi tells Stefan that she’s going to search Dimitri’s room because there has to be something in there that will tell them what they want to know. Stefan then follows Gabi out.

Dimitri worries to Leo that this is all very risky. Leo swears that it’s not, pointing out that most of Gwen’s clothes are still in his room from when she lived there. Leo says he’s sneaking around behind his best friend’s back because he can’t resist Dimitri and he flew to Iceland because he couldn’t be without him. Leo assures that he would not put what they have in jeopardy if he wasn’t certain he could pull it off. Dimitri responds that he better get dressed then as they kiss.

Kristen calls Dimitri and says she made up a cover story which Gwen bought. Dimitri complains about having to pretend he’s working with his uncle Chad, who despises him. Kristen brings up that Dimitri said he would have no choice but to tell Gwen. Dimitri tells her that he has something in the works and he will keep her posted. Kristen warns that he damn well better solve his problem because she’s counting on that pay day as they hang up. Dimitri complains about Leo taking so long and worries that he’s doomed.

Brady tells Belle that he asked what he can do for her because of Shawn and tells her not to use that to guilt him in to letting Philip off the hook which she argues she is not doing. Belle says she’s just trying to make him understand that Philip was mentally ill, but he’s better now. Belle knows Brady believes in second chances and adds that Victor would’ve wanted them all to help Philip get his life back together. Belle pleads with Brady, noting that she knows he has no reason to forgive Philip but she also knows he has a big heart so she knows he can do this for him.

Xander questions Philip faking everything and framing Brady which he confirms. Xander remarks that people go on about how bad he is. Philip argues that he was out of his mind. Chloe points out that Philip can’t show his face in public or he could go to prison. Xander questions holing him up in their spare room and notes that he wouldn’t know if he didn’t knock over the lamp, so he questions how long Chloe planned on keeping him in the dark.

Stefan suggests to Gabi that they should make sure everyone is out of the house but Gabi worries that would give Dimitri time. Stefan decides to keep watch in the hall while Gabi sneaks in to Dimitri’s bedroom.

Elliot Roth is in his room at the Salem Inn, on the phone. He says he’s waiting on Dimitri and his wife now and he plans to leave Salem as soon as the meeting is over. Elliot says he hates being away from them too and he loves them as he hangs up when there’s a knock at the door. Elliot answers the door to see Dimitri. He asks where his wife is. Dimitri responds that she’s a little nervous and is checking her make up. Leo then arrives dressed in drag to pretend to be Gwen and tells Elliot that it’s such a pleasure to meet him.

Gabi searches Dimitri’s bedroom. Gwen runs in to Stefan in the hall and question what he’s doing lurking outside of her and Dimitri’s bedroom door. Stefan claims he just noticed the painting on the wall and how beautiful it is. Gwen says she’s going to lie down for a nap and orders Stefan to get out of her way but Stefan says he can’t let her go in there. Gwen questions why the hell not. Gwen asks if there’s a reason why he doesn’t want her to go in to her own bedroom. Stefan claims that he just saw Harold go in there to unpack her things. Gabi hears them from inside. Gwen informs him that she already unpacked herself. Stefan suggests Harold’s unpacking Dimitri’s stuff too and invites Gwen to go downstairs and have a drink where she can tell him all about the honeymoon. Gwen tells Stefan that he can ask Leo, since he’s such a good friend to her that he decided to show up to her honeymoon. Gwen asks Stefan to get away from the door, so he steps aside. Gwen then heads inside.

Dimitri asks Elliot what he needs to know about them. Elliot explains his relatives having concern that their marriage is just out of convenience for the terms of his trust fund. Dimitri remarks that his family are a bunch of cynics but he and Gwen know the truth. Elliot points out the timing of their wedding being suspect. Dimitri argues that he was ready to let the money go because the right woman hadn’t come along but then one day, Gwen walked in to his life and he knew immediately that they were destined for each other. Leo tells Elliot that he hasn’t heard half of their story and that he’s about to learn what a marriage made in Heaven is all about.

Belle comments on Brady getting quiet. Brady responds that he’s trying to think. Kristen enters the Pub and greets them. Brady asks what she wants. Kristen says she heard about Victor and she would say she’s sorry but that would be a lie. Brady asks about Rachel. Kristen says she came here to get food for Rachel. Brady warns Kristen not to get used to her custody.

Chloe apologizes to Xander for not telling him about Philip but says she didn’t want to put him in a position to have to cover for him. Chloe asks Xander to forgive her. Xander admits he can’t stay mad at her and tells Philip that it’s good for him that Chloe still cares about him. Philip acknowledges that Xander is the one Chloe is marrying and congratulates him, saying he’s a lucky guy. Philip adds that Chloe deserves whatever she wants and what she wants is apparently Xander.

Kristen reminds Brady that the judge concluded he was the threat to Rachel and he was right as she brings up what he did to Philip. Brady tells her not to say that he didn’t warn her. Kristen mocks him and exits the Pub. Belle guesses that exchange told her everything she needed to know and that Brady is pressing charges against Philip. Brady reveals that she’s wrong as she talked him out of it. Belle asks if he’s going to keep this quiet. Brady sees that when Philip shows his face in public, he’ll be cleared of all wrongful charges and admits that Philip going to prison doesn’t help him get what he wants which is getting his daughter back and away from Kristen’s clutches as soon as possible. Brady declares that he will not press charges against Philip. Belle doesn’t know how to thank him.

Xander goes over Philip being in major trouble and that he could go to prison but he decided to come back and risk all that just to go to Victor’s funeral. Philip admits that he was sick of hiding and when he heard about his father, he had to be here in hopes of saying a final goodbye and being with family. Chloe then gets a text from Belle.

Gwen enters her bedroom to find Gabi covering the bed with roses. Gwen asks if that’s supposed to be funny. Gabi claims that they heard her honeymoon got cut short so they were trying to make it up to her. Gwen tells her to give it up and admit that she was snooping. Gabi questions why she would do that. Gwen brings up the DiMera board meeting. Stefan tells Gabi there’s no sense in denying as Gwen caught them red handed. Gwen declares the room will be locked from now on and tells them to get the hell out. Gabi remarks that she should’ve known not to tangle with her. Gwen remarks that the DiMeras are all alike. Gabi points out that Gwen is a DiMera too now, for as long as the marriage lasts anyway. Stefan and Gabi then exit together.

Elliot is fascinated to hear about the marriage made in heaven. Dimitri tries to say his wife gets carried away but Leo says he’s eager to share. Leo says they didn’t even like each other when they first met but he realized that it was a defense mechanism because he was falling hard for him, but had no reason to believe anything would come of it. Leo says it feels like destiny now but at first there were too many obstacles. Leo adds that they were determined to push those obstacles out of the way and no one understands what they have. Leo remarks that losing a best friend used to seem unthinkable but questions giving up on a man who is so perfect for him. Elliot calls that very moving but the problem is, he’s not Gwen any more than he is.

Belle tells Brady that Chloe is so relieved and Philip will be too, so she can’t thank him enough. Brady assures that he needs the judge to know that he’s no killer, the sooner the better. Brady declares that he wants his daughter back and as long as that happens, Philip has no reason to fear him. Belle assures that Philip will be so grateful. Brady clarifies that he’s not doing it for Philip but for Victor, Belle, and Chloe.

Philip can’t believe that he can see his mother, go to his father’s funeral, and try to get his life back. Philip guesses all that’s left to say is thanks for everything. Philip apologizes for the intrusion. Chloe tells Philip that she’s really happy for him and tells him to take care of himself. Philip congratulates Xander again and tells him to be good to Chloe as he then exits their apartment.

Leo insists that he is Gwen but Elliot reveals that he’s done his homework and he’s also been to a few drag shows with his husband. Elliot says whoever he is, he’s good but not good enough. Elliot adds that the speech he gave about his feelings for Dimitri, he could tell was from the heart, so it’s obvious that they are in love. Dimitri then gets a call from Gwen but ignores it.

Gwen leaves Dimitri a message to call as soon as he can because she just caught Gabi in their room. Gwen says that Gabi and Stefan are on the warpath and trying to get something on him.

Gabi and Stefan go back to their room, talking about how gullible Gwen is to believe this is all about DiMera business. Stefan notes that now Gwen has her guard up but Gabi doesn’t think that will matter anymore. Gabi then reveals what she found before Gwen came in, a paper from Dimitri’s luggage. Stefan sees that Dimitri paid for two rooms. Gabi guesses that means Dimitri brought the other woman on his honeymoon. Stefan then reveals that Dimitri didn’t bring a woman, he brought Leo Stark which shocks Gabi.

Leo questions Elliot being able to tell they are in love. Elliot says it’s obvious and that they can’t act on it because of the homophobic legal document stipulating that Dimitri must marry a woman to be eligible for his inheritance. Elliot assures that he’s on their side but there’s limits to what he can do. Elliot says as far as he’s concerned, Dimitri has met the terms but others won’t see it that way. Elliot explains that the fund will be paid in payments and gives the first one, but notes that if he wants them to keep coming in, he will have to keep up appearances with Gwen and she cannot be aware of their relationship, nor can the rest of the world. Elliot hopes that someday in the future, they won’t have to hide their true feelings. Leo declares that he’ll go back to hiding his true feelings the minute they leave as he then kisses Dimitri.
