Brooke: It’s beautiful.

Ridge: Hm. Yeah.

Brooke: You okay? You seem–

Ridge: I’m fine. It’s, you know.

Brooke: I know. It’s weighing on you. Fashion challenge. You don’t want to compete with your father.

Ridge: I don’T. I love my dad, I ju– for some reason, he… he wants to pick this fight with me. I’m gonna win this. And he’s not going to know what to do.

Eric: You didn’t have to make a house call, doctor.

Donna: He most certainly did. Thank you again, doctor.

Colby: Of course.

Donna: Eric has been coughing up blood and not telling us about it. Can’t seem to figure out what’s going on here, you know, and we need to know the truth, doctor, please. What’s wrong with eric?

Rj: Hey, you’re back.

Luna: For you.

Rj: For– for me?

Luna: Mm-hmm.

Rj: What– what is this?

Luna: It’s honeydew. I don’t know, I thought you might need a break. I, uh, I picked you up something while I was out for marketing. I know it’s not much, but I just– I wanted to thank you again for what you did, defending me to aunt li.

Finn: So, you admit that there’s bad blood between you and aunt poppy?

Li: Penelope. Yes. She ruined my life years ago.

Finn: You’ve never said anything before. What are you talking about?

Finn: Come on, mom, tell me. What happened with you and your sister?

Li: You have more important things to focus on. Like a family.

Finn: I’ll get steffy back. That’s not what I’m talking about. I want to hear about my aunt and luna.

Rj: Okay, this is delicious.

[ Luna chuckles ] Thank you, I need another one of these someday. But no, seriously, I– I should be the one thanking you. Honestly, I mean, being able to open up to you about my granddad’s situation, especially when I can’t talk about it to anybody else, it means– it means a lot to me.

Luna: Well, I’m glad I can help. Even if it’s just a talk. Secret’s safe, I won’t say a word.

Brooke: This is crazy.

Ridge: What’s crazy?

Brooke: I, uh, it’s just crazy. It’s crazy to think that our son is doing this with his grandfather. Did you ever stop to think about it?

Ridge: Stop to think what? I love my son, I love my dad and I’m gonna beat the pants off of both of them? No. Don’t think about that. Hey, I’m grateful rj’s working. He’s learning from the best.

Brooke: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: Just not the best in this competition.

Eric: Of course, I’m dying, doctor. But no more than you or you. Look, I have to tell you, I’ve never felt more alive in my life.

Colby: I’m glad to hear that. A strong, positive attitude is very important. To your point, I’m honestly still not sure what the diagnosis is. Especially now with this development. I’d like to take a listen. Can you help him get his blazer off?

Donna: Yeah, of course. Yes.

Colby: Just have a seat for me. Right. Breathe normally. All right. Take a few deep breaths for me. Mm-hmm. Good. Again.

[ Eric sharply exhales ] All right. You can breathe normally. Now, you said that these bouts of coughing up blood have been going on for…

Eric: A couple of weeks.

Colby: A couple of weeks. Eric, I have to say, this is very serious.

Finn: Hey, don’t you try to run out the clock and stall until your next appointment. Because I’ll still be here later asking the same questions. So, what happened? What happened with you and aunt poppy?

Li: Luna’s mother, my sister, disrespected me. Almost ruined my career. She had no direction, no focus in life. I tried helping her out. I got her a job at the gift shop in the hospital. Steady work. And what did she do with that?

[ Li sighs ] When the chief surgeon’s wife found out about their relationship, guess who paid the price. My sister turned my life upside down. I won’t let luna and my sister do that to us again.

Ridge: That’s perfect. Thank you.

[ Ridge clears throat ] Hm.

Brooke: What?

Ridge: I remember sitting right over there when I was a kid. Watching my dad be on this big desk, he was sailing a boat through a fashion storm and coming out the other side. I always respected him, you know.

Brooke: He knows that. We all do.

Ridge: And now, it’s me sitting here.

Brooke: Yes. And you are doing a tremendous job.

Ridge: Tremendous. Thank you.

[ Brooke chuckles ] My dad asked me to do this. And now he wants to come back and run this company again? It doesn’t work that way. If he wants to come and– and give some input, give some suggestions, I think that’s perfect. But I’m running this company now. He needs to go and live his life.

Colby: To say, this is very serious. Eric, we can’t shrug it off.

Eric: I’m not shrugging it off, doctor. It’s just that I’m concentrating on forrester creations. That’s what I’m doing.

Colby: Work? Eric have you ever heard the analogy of juggling the five balls of life?

Eric: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The work is rubber, it’ll bounce back. But that’s not true in this case. I have to finish this project.

Donna: Eric and his son have this silly challenge.

Eric: It’s- it’s much more than that. It’s more than that, donna.

Donna: O– okay, I’m sorry. This challenge to see who is the better designer and the winner’s collection goes into production and eric is determined to show that he’s still on top and not to be forgotten. Honey bear. You have nothing to prove. I mean, you’re one of the finest designers in the entire world, your– your– your legacy is solidified. And you heard what the doctor said, didn’t you? I mean, I know I did. Whatever this is, is– is serious. And I don’t– I don’t even want to think about it, but I’m not gonna lose you over this– this– this competition. You’re stressing yourself needlessly. And for what?

Eric: No, donna. I need this.

Donna: No.

Eric: I need this.

Donna: No, you don’T.

Eric: Yes, I do. Yes. I do. Donna, look. Imagine– imagine a symphony without– without its final movement. I– imagine a– a beautiful landscape without– without– without birds in the sky. This is my life’s work, donna. It’s a culmination of my life’s work and my– my grand finale. I have to finish.

Finn: Right, so aunt poppy and the head of surgery got caught–

Li: Having an affair. When his wife found out, all hell broke loose. He blamed me because she was my sister. I got her the job. Suddenly, I started losing shifts. You might not remember. You were much younger. But I took that job at memorial.

Finn: Yeah.

Li: I was actually transferred. I worked so hard for so many years. The only female surgeon in my class. Did my sister care? Did she ever stop to think of me and my position at the hospital? No. I refuse to let my sister and luna destroy my life again, and now, yours. I forbid it.

Rj: Shoot.

Luna: Problem?

Rj: Yeah, there’s a mix-up at receiving. I’ll be right back.

Brooke: Don’t be mad, but, I for one, am gonna be happy when this fashion challenge is over and I know donna feels the same way. It just caused too much stress between you and eric.

Ridge: Yeah, ’cause it’s not– it’s more than a challenge, isn’t it?

Brooke: Yeah, it’s, uh, the succession aspect. You and your daughter are running the company. Your co-ceos, eric stepped back, but now, he wants to run it.

Ridge: Well, he can’T. It doesn’t work that way.

Brooke: Try telling that to eric forrester.

Ridge: Whose side are you on, brooke?

Brooke: Come on, ridge. You know what I mean. You both have very strong opinions. It’s– it’s complicated. And you can’t forget how much you really do love your father.

Ridge: Hey, hey. Never gonna forget that. But what he’s doing doesn’t make sense. It’s wrong for the company. I’ll put a stop to it.

Colby: I respect your desire, eric. It’s inspiring to be so vital at your age, but–

Eric: And what age is that, doctor?

Colby: I’m just saying that it’s one thing to be able to do something, but another to put it in practice. Okay, between the tremors and coughing up blood, you can’t put any more stress on your body. You need to be resting. Conserving energy.

Donna: Thank you, doctor. I have been begging eric to stop pushing himself.

Eric: Look, I’m pushing myself to face the biggest challenge of my life, of my career and I’m gonna win it. I’m gonna win it. When I do, I gotta get back. Back in my office and behind the desk where I– where I invented forrester creations. And I took this little fashion house and I– I turned it into an– an international enterprise. And nothing’s gonna stop me. Not– not some shaky hand and– and not a bloody handkerchief. And not you, doctor. Not even you.

Li: No one knows what penelope’s done to me.

Finn: Well, I’m here asking. Tell me.

Li: The way my sister’s led her life, so free and easy, no regard for the sacrifice and heartbreak I suffered. Our parents. It’s just– it’s just not fair.

Rj: Okay. That’s over. Granddad would have not been happy about that.

Luna: I love seeing how much you care about him.

Rj: Yeah, of course, I care about him. Especially, with how sick he might be. It’s just– it’s killing me that I can’t just tell my dad about this.

Luna: Hey. You said you were here for me. I’m here for you, rj. Come on.

Ridge: See, this is what I mean. The amount of money my dad is spending on this line just so he can be in the spotlight again.

Brooke: Well, he does keep calling it his “grand finale.”

Ridge: Grand finale for now. In a few years from now, he’s just gonna do it again. My dad isn’t going anywhere.

Colby: You know my recommendations. So does donna. I will say, given this latest development, it could help us determine a diagnosis.

Donna: You know, with all due respect, doctor, it’s kind of ridiculous that we don’t even have a diagnosis yet.

Eric: Donna, it’s okay.

Donna: No, maybe, we should get a second opinion.

Eric: It’s all right.

Donna: No, it’s not okay, eric because we need answers. Answers now, doctor, even if they’re scary.

Colby: I understand your frustrations and your worries. I’ll personally be in touch soon with the game plan.

Donna: Yes, it does– and I’m– I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to–

Colby: No apologies necessary. We do anything for the ones that we love.

Donna: Yeah.

Colby: That goes for you too. If not for you, do it for donna. For your family. Take it easy. Don’t push yourself. I will see myself out.

Donna: Thank you, doctor. I hope you’re not mad at me for calling dr. Colby like that.

Eric: How could I be angry with you for loving me so much? But donna, I have to do this. I’m an artist. I’m a designer. I can’t let these things go unfinished. I’m not finished. Not like that stapler. That old stapler of mine that ridge just unceremoniously just threw it out because it was, uh– because it was too old and it didn’t function anymore. Well, I function. That stapler was so important to me. He should have known that. That stapler was on my desk from the very first day at forrester. And it held together everything that was important to this company. Our first receipts, everything. I understand your concern. I know you wish that I– I wasn’t doing this challenge with ridge, going head to head with him. I know you wish I could put down a pencil and relax and travel the world with you and– and… I wish I could do that too, but I can’T. I… I have to do this, donna. I have this passion inside to create beauty. It’s who I am. It’s who I am as a man and as an artist, and this is the man you fell in love with. I’m right about it, I’m right. I’m gonna do this thing and I’m gonna come out on top and I’m gonna live my life the way I wanna live it.

Donna: You are going to win this competition with ridge, I know that you can. You are the greatest designer in the entire universe.

Eric: Yeah.

Donna: And I’m with you 100%.

Eric: Until the end.

Donna: Until the end.

Update written by Joseph

At the Pub, Jada tells Rafe that she’s sorry for falling apart like this over Talia leaving town while Rafe assures her that it’s okay and understandable. Kate comes over and asks what’s wrong. Jada informs Kate that Talia is leaving town and on her way to the airport. Kate mentions Talia just getting a job at the hospital and she thought she was happy. Jada responds that she was until recently. Kate guesses it’s about sleeping with Shawn and the ramifications of it. Jada is surprised that Kate knew. Kate explains that Marlena told her. Kate says no judgment, but she thinks it’s probably best for Belle, Marlena, and Talia to not be in close proximity. Jada just wishes it didn’t end up this way. Kate understands it’s been great for her to have her little sister but assures that she and Rafe are always there for her.

Gabi catches up to Stefan outside the DiMera Mansion and asks how long he’s going to give her the silent treatment. Stefan brings up Gabi turning Vivian in to the police and her now being on the run. Gabi asks if it’s really so bad and thinks she did her a favor. Gabi encourages Stefan to focus on the positives in that they have Dimitri and Megan’s shares and now Dimitri will be headed straight to the penitentiary.

Leo brings Dimitri dessert in his hospital room then says he’s not going to share because he doesn’t deserve it. Leo declares that they could’ve had it all but Dimitri ruined everything.

John calls Marlena and informs her that he got his father set up in an assisted living home and how great he’s doing. John adds that it’s just a short drive up the road so they can all see him anytime. Marlena is glad they found room for him since they have a full house with Tate moving in. John says it would be almost perfect if Belle wasn’t going through such a rough time. John asks if Marlena can leave work early so they can go check on Belle. Marlena responds that she doesn’t have any other patients today so that could work well, but then Paulina arrives and tells Marlena that she needs her help.

EJ sits at home and calls Susan to make sure she got home safely. EJ tells her that he loves her and hangs up. Gabi and Stefan enter the room. Gabi jokes about how ruthless EJ and Stefan are but they turn in to total saps with their mother. Stefan remarks that Gabi doesn’t quite understand the bond between a mother and son. Stefan tells EJ that he was elated to hear that Susan is still alive. EJ thanks Stefan and says for what it’s worth, he’s sorry that Stefan’s mother was forced to go on an extended vacation. EJ questions Vivian only shooting Dimitri to protect them which Stefan confirms. EJ doesn’t understand why Dimitri snapped and asks why he decided suddenly that he wanted Gabi and Stefan in an early grave.

Dimitri didn’t realize that Leo was so angry with him. Leo reminds Dimitri that he told him not to kill Gabi and Stefan but he tried to do it anyway. Dimitri argues that he didn’t plan for it to happen. Leo complains that Dimitri threatened them with a gun and now the love of his life is going to prison.

Marlena tells John that she has to go and they’ll talk later as she hangs up. Marlena asks what she can do for Paulina. Paulina asks her to rescue her from her frustration and misery because Abe is on the brink of getting his memory back, so she needs Marlena to push him over the edge.

John calls Belle and says he was thinking that he and Marlena could stop by later with some of her favorite food. John says he understands she needs her space and tells her not to be sorry. John tells her that they are there for her if she ever needs them and they love her as he hangs up. Abe then arrives so John asks what’s going on. Abe apologizes for dropping in unannounced but says he was just wondering if he could speak with Belle. John says he’s afraid Belle doesn’t live here but he just got off the phone with her. Abe remembers that it’s John’s son that lives there and says it’s hard to keep track. John asks what he wants to speak to Belle about. Abe reveals that he was wondering if Belle could help him file for divorce. John questions Abe wanting to divorce Paulina and says he was under the impression that things were getting better between them. Abe says they were and talks about going to her place for dinner last night. Abe talks about how Paulina thought he remembered where the wine was and she was so excited that she went on and on about it for the rest of the night. John questions him wanting to end his marriage over that and asks why he would be upset with her over getting excited that she thought he got his memory back. Abe clarifies that he’s not upset with Paulina but he’s divorcing her because he’s come to care about her so much, that he’s divorcing her for her own good.

Paulina tells Marlena about Abe remembering where the wine was and insists it had to be a memory. Paulina wants to unlock more memories with hypnosis or electroshock. Marlena senses Paulina’s anxiety and pain means she could benefit from some therapy herself.

Jada asks Rafe if Harris is going to be her new partner. Rafe points out that it’s an unorthodox hire and that Paulina and Jada both have to sign off on it first. Jada responds that Harris was a navy SEAL so she’s sure he’s more than qualified for the position. Jada adds that Harris practically saved Rafe’s life in London. Rafe thinks he could’ve handled Edmund Crumb on his own. Jada jokes about bruising Rafe’s ego. Rafe notes that he did speak to Harris about their potential first assignment together, as he wants them to figure out who kidnapped Susan after the car crash and shipped her off to London.

EJ knows that Dimitri has always had homicidal tendencies but feels Stefan and Gabi must have done something to set him off. They think back to Dimitri holding a gun on them. Gabi informs EJ that they discovered Dimitri only married Gwen so he could inherit his fortune, found out that he was sleeping Leo behind her back, and decided to blackmail him. Stefan claims they were only blackmailing him for half of the fortune, but now Gwen is on her way to find it and leaves them empty handed. EJ remembers he has an errand to run and says they can pick this up later as he exits. Gabi questions why Stefan lied because she was looking forward to telling him that they got Dimitri and Megan’s shares. Stefan responds that it’s best that EJ doesn’t know until they figure out how best to use their shares.

Dimitri questions Leo saying he’s the love of his life which Leo confirms. Dimitri says he loves him too. Leo talks about never feeling this way about anyone before and calls Dimitri his fairy tale prince. Leo says he never thought in a million years that something like this could happen to him. Leo repeats that they were so close until Dimitri screwed it all up. Dimitri admits he let the ego get the best of him and made a royal mess out of everything. Dimitri says he’s sorry. Leo argues that’s not good enough as he screwed over his best and only friend to be with him. They talk about Gwen leaving town. Leo remarks that Gwen deserves the fortune after how they treated her. Dimitri argues that it’s his money. Leo asks what good it’s going to do when he’s probably going to spend the next 20 years in prison. Dimitri says not if Leo helps bust him out.

Rafe informs Jada that Edmund swears he can’t remember the man who called him about Susan and Susan can’t remember anything until she was dropped off in London. Jada notes they don’t have much to go on. Rafe says he has his best detective on the case, so he’s not worried. Rafe then gets a call from Dimitri’s doctor, who informs him that Dimitri is well enough to be transferred to a holding cell. Jada offers to be his backup so Dimitri doesn’t slip through fingers like his mom did which Rafe agrees with as they exit the Pub.

Leo questions Dimitri wanting him to help him escape. Dimitri says they have some time until the cops transfer him to jail so they can look at this as a golden opportunity to find a way together. Leo says they could do that but argues that they would be on the run for the rest of their lives. Dimitri understands he’s asking a lot, but he did just call him the love of his life. Dimitri insists that they can still have their happily ever after but they have to act now. EJ then arrives and comments that Dimitri is looking well and on the mend. Dimitri asks what EJ is doing there. EJ brings him chocolate peanut butter which Harold said was his favorite. Dimitri calls that strangely kind of him. EJ asks why since he is his nephew and says he was appalled when he heard that Vivian shot him. Leo accuses EJ of bad acting and asks why he’s really here. EJ responds that since Dimitri is heading to prison, he thought there was a discussion to be had about he and Megan’s DiMera shares. EJ thought it would be best if he took possession of those shares as his uncle and his family, he promises to have his best interests at heart. Dimitri responds that he’s touched, but unfortunately he’s a little too late as he no longer has the shares.

Stefan and Gabi go to their bedroom. Stefan talks about how they have Dimitri and Megan’s shares which doesn’t give them a majority but puts them on equal footing with EJ, so the key is how to get the upper hand. Stefan talks about no one switching from EJ’s side. Gabi offers to still work her magic on Li but Stefan says he’ll pass. Gabi talks about being solid with their shares but Stefan is not so sure.

John tells Abe that he’s not following him since Paulina loves him, so a divorce is the last thing she wants. Abe responds that maybe it’s what she needs as he doesn’t want her to live in disappointment so maybe she needs to find someone without this baggage. John jokes that maybe Paulina would be better off with someone else and he has the perfect guy in mind.

Paulina questions why she would need therapy when her memory is fine. Marlena is concerned about her fixation on Abe’s memory. Paulina talks about wanting Abe to remember. Marlena suggests focusing on their current relationship since their dates have been going well. Paulina complains that they would be even better if Abe remembered. Paulina questions how long it’s going to take before it all comes back to Abe. Marlena thinks Paulina needs to prepare herself for the idea that Abe may never get his memory back. Paulina questions just surrendering when they have created years of memories. Marlena says she can cherish those memories but Abe doesn’t have them so she will have to be okay with that. Paulina refuses and says she’s very stubborn. Marlena urges her to find her way to acceptance or else she will be pressuring Abe to remember and he will feel like he’s let her down which could be the beginning of the end of their relationship.

Abe asks John who he thinks would be perfect for Paulina. John responds that it’s his dad which Abe questions. John calls it a long story but says they recently reconnected. Abe asks why he thinks they would be a perfect match. John says he has a lot going for him. Abe questions how old he is since John’s not exactly a spring chicken. John jokes that his dad is only 97 and how he really thinks Paulina would like him a lot. Abe questions if he’s out of his mind. John remarks that if he didn’t know better, he’d think Abe was getting a little jealous.

EJ asks Dimitri what happened to his shares. Dimitri reveals that he gave them away to Gabi and Stefan. EJ questions why the hell he did that. Leo argues that Dimitri doesn’t have to explain himself but informs EJ that Dimitri had no choice since Gabi and Stefan were blackmailing him which is why he pulled a gun on them. Leo adds that they refused to call an ambulance after Dimitri was shot until he signed over the shares. EJ calls them bastards. EJ gives Dimitri prison advice and throws away his dessert as he storms out. Leo calls that unnecessary and a total waste.

Stefan tells Gabi that he’s more worried about Kristen and Peter’s shares. Gabi doesn’t see Kristen turning on them when she and EJ have a rocky relationship. Stefan worries about EJ trying to get Kristen to align with him, so they need to make sure Kristen is feeling warmly towards them. Gabi suggests they could also just take Kristen’s shares like they took Dimitri’s.

Paulina tells Marlena that she can’t lose Abe as he’s the love of her life. Marlena encourages her to stop worrying about the past and to focus on their future to start making new memories with Abe. Paulina agrees to take her advice and back off because all she wants is for Abe to have peace of mind and be happy, so she will do her damndest to help him get there. Paulina declares that she will do anything for Abe.

John says that Abe is talking a big game about letting Paulina go but he doesn’t think he’s ready to do that. Abe agrees that maybe he’s not, especially because he thinks he’s falling back in love with her. John calls that music to his ears and says filing for divorce would only hurt both of them. Abe asks what if he’ll never be enough for her or if he’s never going to be the man he was. John says he’s known Paulina for a long time and all she wants is him, with or without his memories. John assures that Abe and Paulina are meant to be together.

Gabi tells Stefan that maybe she shouldn’t have ratted out Vivian since she could’ve been useful right now. Stefan asks if she’s saying they should have Vivian shoot Kristen and refuse her medical attention until she signs her shares over to them. Gabi points out that it worked before. Stefan argues that he doesn’t want his sister to die. Gabi says they need to find a way to exploit her weakness like they did with Dimitri. EJ storms in and says they make him sick as Dimitri informed him that they forced him to sign over his shares. EJ thought they had a truce and questions what’s next. Stefan tells him to cut the holier than thou act and not to pretend that he didn’t go to the hospital with the same exact intention. Stefan remarks that EJ is just pissed because they beat him to the punch.

Leo tells Dimitri that he can’t stay mad at him. Dimitri asks if that means Leo might help bust him out of here. Leo says that would subject them to a lifetime on the run. Dimitri asks what is keeping Leo in Salem and what he has to lose. Leo brings up that his mother is in prison and he hates her but his therapist is working to reframe that. Dimitri points out that Leo doesn’t have any other friends now that Gwen is gone. Leo asks about his career with the gossip column. Dimitri asks if Leo loves his column or him more. Rafe and Jada then arrive. Rafe says he hopes they’re not interrupting.

Marlena goes home and asks John what time they are going to Belle’s. John responds that is not going to happen because Belle said she needed time alone right now. Marlena is so sorry she’s going through all this. John encourages that Belle is strong like Marlena. John asks Marlena about her last appointment. Marlena explains that it was more of a visit from Paulina who is going through it with Abe. John calls that interesting since Abe showed up here and they gave similar advice. They talk about being a team as they kiss.

Paulina and Abe meet in the town square. Paulina says she was really happy to get his call. Paulina apologizes if she seemed overzealous the other night about his memory possibly coming back as she knows it’s a lot of pressure to put on him. Abe notes that she was pretty intense but he does admire that about her. Paulina thanks him for understanding and asks why he wanted to meet. Abe responds that he thought he would take her to the Bistro for dinner which she agrees to and they walk off together.

EJ tells Gabi and Stefan that they are not going to push him out of the family business. Stefan says no one said they were going to. Gabi adds that they just want things to be fair and are happy to work side by side. EJ doesn’t believe them and warns that two can play at this game as he storms out. Stefan says that EJ is going after Kristen’s shares. Gabi says there is no time to waste then. Stefan says he just got a brilliant idea.

Rafe informs Dimitri that he and Jada are there to escort him to a cell at the Salem police department. Leo argues that Dimitri is still recovering from a gunshot wound. Jada points out that he’s also accused of attempted murder and his doctors said he made a full recovery and is fit to stand trial. Rafe says as soon as Kayla signs off on it, they’ll be on their way. Leo argues that they still have a few minutes. Rafe and Jada then leave the room while Leo then asks Dimitri how to get him out of here.

[ Audra sighing ]

Audra: Remind me again why we ever stopped doing this?

Kyle: ‘Cause you fired me.

Audra: Oh. That. Have you forgiven me yet?

[ Kyle chuckling ] I have a proposition for you.

Kyle: Oh, I hope it’s as good as the last one.

Audra: I am changing the subject now.

Kyle: Okay. All right. I’m listening.

Audra: It’ll be risky.

Kyle: Oh. I can do risky.

Audra: And your first instinct will probably be to say no, but I want you to hear me out.

Kyle: Mm.

Audra: Can you do that?

[ Lock rattling ]

Billy: Hey.

Jack: Hey.

Billy: Got here as soon as I could. Where’s diane?

Jack: She and traci are out for the night. I want to fill you in before they get back.

Billy: Fill me in on what?

Jack: Tucker’s wedding gift. It appears the bonsai tree had a special added attraction. A listening device.

Billy: Are you kidding me? I mean, what am I thinking? Of course, he planted a listening device in a wedding gift.

Jack: Yep.

Billy: Where is it?

Jack: It’s in the study. Door’s closed, it can’t hear us.

Billy: Well, you were right about him.

Jack: Oh, yeah. He’s still coming after us. All those mea culpas added up to just what I thought. Garbage.

Billy: Well, I give him points for ingenuity. A plant in a plant.

Jack: Well, he took a page out of ashley’s playbook years ago. When we were at war, she planted a bug in, what did she call it? A truce gift.

Billy: So, she mentioned that somewhere along the way and tucker’s eyes lit up like it was a genius plan? Who– who tipped you off about this?

Jack: Surprisingly, phyllis.

Billy: Phyllis told you about it?

Jack: Well, she told me enough to put me on the right track.

Billy: Okay, well, right there, that is enough to be suspicious.

Phyllis: Okay. Look at this! Having dinner like a normal family. So normal.

Daniel: Just wanted to celebrate your first day at your new job.

Phyllis: Oh, goodness! Great. Ha! You’re paying, right? Because, you know, I’m not making the kind of money I’m used to.

Daniel: I know, I know, but you know, this is all about getting a clean start. Emphasis on the word “clean,” remember?

Phyllis: Yes. Exactly. And I will not let you down.

Daniel: No.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Daniel: That’s all either of us could ask for.

Phyllis: Good.

Summer: Okay, so tell me, how was it? How did it go today?

Phyllis: Oh, um… well, I’m in the it department, not running the it department, of course, but I’m in there.

Summer: That’s a change for you.

Phyllis: Yeah, yeah, yeah. My immediate superior, she is a embryo, a zygote actually.

Daniel: Kayla is 29 and she has a masters in computer science.

Phyllis: Ooh! Oh wow. A masters. Oh, my goodness. Well, I have a lot to learn from her, don’t I?

Daniel: Mom?

Phyllis: My goodness! She’s a lovely, lovely, young, so very young lady.

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Phyllis: Yeah. Listen, I– I’m happy to be there. I’m just having fun with you, okay? And I was very productive today, don’t you think?

Daniel: I was told you were on your best behavior.

Phyllis: Yes. And– and like I said, I will not let you down.

Daniel: You know, the, uh, trick is going to be to see if you can continue that team spirit for longer than a day.

Phyllis: Right. Yes. I– I– I do have team spirit. I– I can and I will.

Daniel: You know we’re both rooting for you here, right?

Summer: Yeah. Exactly. I mean, that’s why we’re here. We’re here to celebrate this new you, and we really appreciate the fact that you’re willing to work your way back. I know that it’s not easy for you, but you can do it.

Phyllis: I know I can do it. I won’t let you down like I’ve said so many times.

[ Phyllis laughing ] Um, listen, I– I– I really feel like I’m on a roll. I really do. Um, I was able to find the money that stark hid and stole from me and I was able to pay back the insurance company, and that’s all good. And then, um, I’m working with my genius son. So, I feel really, really positive. I feel like all the bad karma is sort of slipping away from me and I won’t– I won’t get back into my, you know, dark ways. I– I just feel from here on out, it’s just smooth sailing. I’m not just accomplished.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Phyllis: Okay.

Tucker: Good evening. Daniel.

Daniel: Tucker.

Tucker: Summer. And phyllis. I hope you don’t mind my saying you look particularly radiant tonight.

Phyllis: Thank you, tucker.

Tucker: You’re welcome. And here you are in the bosom of your family. Positively warms the heart. Enjoy your meal. Hey. Single malt, please. Neat. Make it a double.

Summer: Okay, what is going on between you and tucker now?

Phyllis: Nothing.

Summer: What was that?

Phyllis: What?

Summer: Mom, he was glaring at you. It was creepy.

Phyllis: That’s what he does, you know? He makes people uncomfortable. He likes it. It’s my turn in the barrel, I suppose.

Summer: Uh, he’s still doing it.

Phyllis: Okay, well, let’s ignore him. Here. Get your menu.

Daniel: I don’t think so.

Phyllis: Oh, daniel, what are you doing? What are you doing?

Daniel: I’m just gonna go have a little chat with him.

Phyllis: No, no, no, no, you are not. That’s what he wants you to do. Just ignore him. Sit down. Sit down. Daniel! Daniel!

Tucker: Hey, daniel. Can I buy you a drink?

Daniel: Oh, no, thank you. Um, just wanna know what’s with the glare.

Tucker: The what?

Daniel: The glare. Ever since my mom came in here, you’ve been glaring at her. Something wrong?

Billy: How many times does phyllis have to burn us before we realize that she can’t be trusted?

Jack: I am not arguing with that.

Billy: Okay, then why do you trust her now?

Jack: Because she’s given us usable information that’s proven to be true. She said that tucker bought this listening device and she was right.

Billy: Okay, but we don’t know what motivated her to share that information, jack. She could be working both sides against the middle. We’re talking about phyllis here, okay? Whoever’s the highest bidder wins her services. So, why don’t you tell me how much you paid for this?

Jack: Nothing.

Billy: I’m sorry, what?

Jack: She didn’t ask for a dime.

Billy: Wow. You must be a magician. First, you get adam newman to share dirt on tucker for free and now phyllis.

Jack: No, in the case of adam, I am all but certain it was transactional. I’ll do this for you if in the future you do it for me. With phyllis, I– a part of me is starting to believe she realistically wants to redeem herself.

Billy: Well, that is a stretch for me.

Jack: I know who she is, I know what she’s done, I’m not disagreeing. We need to monitor her carefully, but I think she’s getting tired of people crossing the street when they see her. And I know she is fed up with her kids losing their faith in her.

Billy: Okay, so what? She wants to be liked now?

Jack: Respected, and she knows she’s lost that.

Billy: Okay, let me just remind you. Phyllis was helping tucker frame me for embezzlement, okay? Again, it’s phyllis. And now if she went to tucker to help pay her debt, that means tucker holds something on her.

Jack: So, it’s your theory that phyllis is still working for tucker, that this tip of the planted device is just another misdirection to– to regain our trust?

Billy: Makes just as much sense as her suddenly developing a conscience.

Audra: So, how are things between you and your father?

Kyle: Oh, no, no, no. What about this risky proposition?

Audra: We’ll get to that. I was just curious if, you know, you’ve made any progress convincing him to dump billy and put you back in charge at jabot?

Kyle: It’s not looking likely at this point.

Audra: So, billy isn’t going anywhere?

Kyle: Apparently not. Just when I thought my dad had wised up and was ready to throw billy out, billy somehow convinced him otherwise.

Audra: And where does that leave you?

Kyle: Nowhere. My dad offered me some other position at jabot, one he can’t seem to pinpoint. But it wouldn’t matter even if he could, ’cause it’s an absolute non-starter for me.

Audra: You sound angry.

[ Kyle scoffing ]

Kyle: Hell yeah, I’m angry. I deserve the second-in-command position. I’ve done it before. I can’t imagine going back to jabot in any other position. And my dad… seems like deep down, he feels like I don’t have what it takes.

Audra: Well, he’s wrong. And I know it– it stings.

Kyle: Yeah, it doesn’t feel great when you feel like you’re being pushed out of your family. Anyway, why are we talking about this?

Audra: I was just curious to know where things stood with you and your family.

Kyle: Why?

Audra: Because I’m interested in you, kyle. Would you prefer I don’t ask you anything about your personal life?

Kyle: Uh, no. Don’t be mad.

Audra: I’m not. Trust me, if I ever get mad, you’ll know it.

Kyle: Hm. So, you ever gonna tell me?

Audra: Hm?

Kyle: This risky proposition you keep teasing me with?

Audra: Oh. So, I am– I’m teasing you, am I?

Kyle: Heartlessly.

[ Audra chuckling ]

Audra: Well, kyle, you know, I’ve been called many things in my life, but never a tease.

Kyle: Hm. Try killing bugs the worry-free way.

[ Both sighing ]

Audra: Mm. Good thing we got that out of the way.

Kyle: Oh, I hope not.

Audra: Mm. Don’t worry. We have all the time in the world now.

Kyle: I like the sound of that.

Audra: Me too. Now, no more sneaking around, no more looking over my shoulder to see if nikki approves.

Kyle: Mm.

Audra: It’ll be just us.

Kyle: That sounds really nice.

Audra: Mm-hmm. It does. So, are you ready?

Kyle: Wow. You’re insatiable.

Audra: I wasn’t talking about that. I am talking about the proposition I was gonna offer you.

Kyle: Ah, that. Finally.

Audra: Now remember, you promised me you wouldn’t say no right away.

Kyle: I did.

Audra: Okay. So… what would you say if I told you I could offer you a position at jabot?

Kyle: I would be confused. Which I am.

Audra: What if I could make that happen for you, kyle? You know, and I’m not talking just some, you know, middle management position. I’m talking about the job you want.

[ Kyle laughing ]

Kyle: Okay, then I guess I would have to ask, how you managed to pull off that little coup because last time I checked, my family still owns the company.

Audra: For now.

Kyle: Oh, you’re gonna make a move on jabot?

Audra: Well, it wouldn’t just be me. But I mean, I would be a part of it, yes.

Kyle: Okay. All right. Enough with the games. Where’s this headed?

Audra: I was getting to that.

Kyle: No, we are already there, audra. What are you asking me to do?

Audra: I want you to form an alliance with tucker and me.

Tucker: No, I think you got it wrong.

Daniel: Sure.

Tucker: I wasn’t glaring at her. I was just looking at her. I was looking at all of you actually. And, uh, I was jealous.

Daniel: Jealous?

Tucker: Yeah. Yeah, coming here and I– and I see you all together, you know, pulling together after everything that’s happened to you guys, and it made me think about the situation I’m in currently, which is not at all like that. It’s a beautiful thing to see and painful.

Daniel: Well, we have been working on things.

Tucker: Yeah. I can tell. Makes me wonder if I ought to be more forgiving of ashley.

Daniel: That’s not a bad idea. You could always hop on the next flight out to paris and, uh, go give it a try, right? What do you think?

Tucker: Maybe I should. Meanwhile, may I pick up your dinner tab?

Daniel: No, that’s–

Tucker: No, no. Please. I insist. It’s the least I can do. ‘Cause you really have, all of you, given me such hope. Please.

Daniel: I’ll think about it.

Phyllis: What did he say to you?

Daniel: Him? Oh, he just wants to pay our tab.

Phyllis: What?

Daniel: Yeah. Oh, and he admires how we’ve forgiven you.

Phyllis: Oh, he doesn’t care about that.

Daniel: Obviously, he doesn’t care about that. I’m just telling you what he told me.

Phyllis: Okay, well… he just is playing mind games. That’s what he’s doing. He’s trying to play mind games with us. Let’s not let him. But I’m happy to let him pick up the tab. It’s the least he could do.

Summer: What does that mean?

Phyllis: Excuse me?

Summer: Mom, you’ve been glaring at tucker ever since daniel walked over there. So, what’s going on? What does tucker owe you?

Phyllis: Nothing.

Summer: Nothing?

Phyllis: Nothing, summer, okay? Honestly, would you let up on me? I mean, not everything I do has, you know, something to do with collusion or conspiracy. Just let it go. Just relax.

Phyllis: I don’t owe tucker mccall anything. He doesn’t owe me anything. We’re square, okay? Uh, I’m nothing like him. He thinks I’m like him, but I am not at all. Is that understood?

Summer: Yeah.

Phyllis: Okay, is that understood, daniel?

Daniel: Maybe he was just being generous.

Phyllis: Oh, really? Ha! I doubt that. Sir?

Summer: Mom, what’s the– what are you doing?

Phyllis: Uh– uh, his presence has clouded our nice family gathering. Okay, let’s go elsewhere. All right? Can we have the check?

Waiter: Um, mr. Mccall has taken care of it.

[ Summer sighing ]

Phyllis: Seriously?

Daniel: Hm.

Phyllis: Let’s get outta here.

Summer: Wait, aren’t you gonna thank him?

Phyllis: Who?

Summer: The guy that just bought our dinner. Isn’t that how it usually works?

Phyllis: I’ll send him an email.

Summer: Mom, come on. It’s the polite thing to do.

Daniel: Yeah, I agree. I don’t see what could be so wrong about just saying thank you.

Phyllis: Sure. I would like to thank you for dinner… bottom feeder.

[ Tucker chuckling ]

Jack: I am not saying we should trust phyllis completely. She has burned us many times.

Billy: Not just that. She’s lied, cheated, and stolen from almost everyone in town. Has no problem sending them to jail.

Jack: No one has forgotten that, but we have to go back to what she’s doing for us now. I found the bug that tucker planted because phyllis told me about it.

Billy: I find it hard to believe that she did that out of the goodness of her heart.

Jack: I don’t care what her motivations are. As long as it benefits us, that’s what I give a damn about. I am nowhere close to forgiving phyllis for all that she put diane and kyle and summer through, but I am grateful that she helped us with this latest tucker thing.

Billy: I wonder what it is.

Jack: What?

Billy: This hold that tucker has on her and whatever she’s trying to do to pay him back. It’s gotta be exhausting living your life that way. Always on guard, not being able to relax and just live because she knows that those lies are gonna catch up with her. They always do.

Kyle: Why on earth would I consider joining forces with tucker mccall?

Audra: Because one way or another, he will get his hands on jabot. It’s what he does. And– and there’s no one else in the world who’s better at it than him.

Kyle: Was this what tonight was about?

Audra: What?

Kyle: The sex, the tease. Were– were you just playing me?

Audra: I don’t have to seduce you into coming on board. You either will or you won’T.

Kyle: You already know my answer.

Audra: And you promised me you’d think about it.

Kyle: Yeah, but I wasn’t expecting this.

Audra: Well, this is where we are, kyle. You know, and I think you at least owe it to yourself to hear me out.

Kyle: What did tucker offer you?

Audra: The top job.

Kyle: Figures.

Audra: And you running it with me, okay? Tucker prefers to stay on the sidelines. He wouldn’t be involved in the day-to-day. Hey, we could run jabot the way it should be run.

Kyle: And all I would have to do is betray my mother and father.

Audra: What have they done for your career, kyle? Jack fired you and diane stood aside and allowed it to happen.

Kyle: Audra, my mother wants me back at jabot.

Audra: Where? In some subservient position where you get to report to billy? Is that really what you want?

Kyle: Okay, this is insane.

Audra: No, it’s not. It’s an opportunity… for you and for us. And you haven’t exactly said no yet either. If you’re taking an antidepressant restless will continue.

Kyle: You know, what makes you think I won’t go straight to my dad and warn him?

Audra: Jack and billy already know that tucker is coming after them. It’s no big secret. So, fire away. You know, it compromises me, but I can take it.

Kyle: Well, I’m not participating in this.

Audra: Then, why are you still here? Why didn’t you slam out the door the minute I laid this out for you? Because you know this makes sense. Look, all I’m asking you to do is to think about yourself for a change. What’s best for kyle? Instead of settling for whatever crumbs your family throws at you. Your father, he had his success. A great career. Okay, now– now, would it really be the end of the world for him to step back and see his son take the reins? Yeah, isn’t that how family dynasty survive?

Kyle: No. No, no. What you are proposing will blow up our family dynasty.

Audra: Not if you were on board. Hey, not if you and I took over that family business, okay? And made it vital and exciting again.

Kyle: You’re not family.

Audra: Well, you know, jack clearly doesn’t wanna give you the chance. Tucker and I can. And it would be the mistake of a lifetime if you turned it down.

Jack: I wanna believe, at the end of the day, phyllis is not going to allow herself to be forced by tucker to work against us.

Billy: It’s a lot of hope, but not a whole hell of a lot of history there, jack. ‘Cause this is phyllis, again, right? She’s gonna take care of herself. And I’ve seen nothing to believe that she’s changed her ways.

Jack: I have seen something.

Billy: Really? What is that?

Jack: She deeply cares what her children think, especially summer.

Billy: That’s why she lied to them about being dead?

Jack: Billy, she’s trying to win them back, she knows she played a large role in ruining summer’s marriage to kyle. She also knows if tucker is making a play for jabot, that is going to impact marchetti, which means it will affect summer’s livelihood. Phyllis does not wanna do anything to hurt her daughter. That is to our benefit.

Tucker: Right back at you, my love. I… I happen to know that you’ve been feeding jack information about me.

Phyllis: Who told you that?

Tucker: Ah, phyllis, please, don’t insult my intelligence. Just tell me what it is. What is it you think you have on me?

Phyllis: I have plenty on you.

Tucker: You don’t really think you can play both sides of this game, do you?

Phyllis: Well, if I were to play sides, I definitely wouldn’t be on yours, okay? Our business is concluded.

Tucker: Normally, I would agree with you, you’re more trouble than you’re worth, but that was before you sold me out to the abbotts. I’m very upset about it.

Phyllis: I think you’ll get over it.

Tucker: You’re gonna have to make it up to me.

Phyllis: When hell freezes over.

[ Tucker chuckling ]

Tucker: That can be arranged.

Phyllis: Tucker, I don’t owe you anything. We’re done doing business together. I think you’re a little paranoid.

Tucker: You know what? Maybe, you’re right.

Jack: Phyllis has something on tucker.

Tucker: You wanna try again?

Phyllis: Hm. You heard a conversation.

Daniel: What could possibly be keeping her over there right now? What kind of connection could the two of them possibly have?

Summer: You know, let’s– let’s go find out.

Tucker: Meet me in my room in 15 minutes. It was my pleasure. Absolutely my pleasure to do for you all. I was telling daniel that, um, seeing you all together like that has given me renewed hope. Maybe ashley and I can, uh, resolve our differences and reunite as well. So, I gotta go, but, uh, enjoy the rest of your evening, bye.

Daniel: Have a good night.

Tucker: You too.

Phyllis: What?

Daniel: Just thought it was taking an awful long time to say thank you.

Phyllis: Tucker goes on and on, you know–

Summer: Okay. Enough. Mom!

Phyllis: I was just saying that tucker goes on and–

Summer: Stop with the lies, okay? Just tell us the truth. If you ever want us to believe anything that you say ever again, you and tucker, you’re not a good combination. So, just tell us what’s going on. And if you don’t wanna do that, then, we’re both gonna walk out that door. We’re traveling all across america, Hi, my name is damion clark.

Billy: We know for a fact that tucker is gunning for us, and that listening device is even further proof that he is not backing down. And that’s even with us threatening to go public with the damning information that he’s involved in a cover-up, jack.

Jack: He doesn’t know, but he’s given us some power.

Billy: I don’t see that.

Jack: Tucker doesn’t know that we’re onto him about that listening device. We could use it to misdirect him. Give him bogus information that will chase him out in the open.

Billy: I– I don’t think that’s gonna work, okay? Tucker’s a lot of things, but he’s not dumb. Coming up with a phony story in the hopes that he’s listening to it? He’s gonna see that in a heartbeat.

Jack: Yeah, you’re probably right. What is our alternative? You have any ideas?

Summer: Mom, it’s really not a hard question. Something’s going on between you and tucker. Tell us what it is.

Phyllis: Okay. Listen. I don’t wanna lie to you guys ever, ever again, so, um, I’ll let you know. So, jack asked if I could help him find out some information about tucker and I agreed.

Summer: To do what?

Phyllis: To help jack.

Daniel: How specifically did you help him? What did you have to do?

Phyllis: Hacking.

Summer: Hacking?

Phyllis: Yeah, I– I hacked– I hacked into– I hacked into tucker’s computer and found out that he recently purchased some listening devices along with some software. Um, my suspicion is that he was gonna use it against the abbotts and I told jack.

Daniel: Mm-hmm, and I bet tucker found out.

Phyllis: Well, yeah, he found out, and so, then, he wanted me to help him in turn, but I absolutely said no.

[ Daniel laughing ] You know, tucker is always trying to work an angle. But that’s not gonna work with me. Tucker mccall has met his match and he knows it. What? What’s wrong? I did the right thing.

Summer: Oh, my gosh.

Phyllis: I did the right thing, no, no, no. I helped the abbotts. Tucker’s a bad guy. He’s a shark. I’m the good guy. I help them defend themselves against tucker mccall. What’s wrong with that?

Summer: Mom, you’ve made yourself a target of tucker’s now, again.

Phyllis: So what? I can handle that.

Daniel: No, no, no. That’s not the point. Yeah, you were helping the abbotts, okay, that’s a good thing, but you were working a scam to do it.

Phyllis: Okay, well, I didn’t have any other options.

Daniel: Did you even consider any other options?

Phyllis: Okay, such as?

Daniel: Such as doing nothing.

Phyllis: Ugh, I already told you.

Daniel: No, you told me. You told me you’re on the side of the angels, I get it. Well, why couldn’t you just say no to jack and to tucker? Why couldn’t you just tell him you don’t wanna be a part of their little stupid game?

Phyllis: Daniel, daniel, it’s a little more complicated than that.

Daniel: Is it?

Phyllis: Yes, it is. Okay, what would you suggest I should have done? You tell me.

Daniel: What would I suggest?

Phyllis: Mm-hmm.

Daniel: I don’t know. Focus on yourself. Focus on your job. Maybe focus on loving your family. Let that be the thing that turns jack’s opinion around about you. But no, you–

Phyllis: Jack’s opinion?

Daniel: Yes, jack’s opinion. You seem to care what he thinks. You’re helping him, right? You see a shortcut though and you gotta take it.

Phyllis: I can’t have this conversation with you guys anymore.

Summer: No, mom, all that daniel is trying to suggest is that maybe, there was a less sketchy way to handle things.

Phyllis: There wasn’T. I would’ve appreciated a less sketchy way, but there was not. And I swear to you, I did the right thing right now. I did the right thing, but it’s not enough for you guys. So, you know what? I don’t even know what to say.

Daniel: Okay, now, you are overreacting.

Phyllis: No, I’m not!

Daniel: And you’re not being fair.

Phyllis: Oh, you’re not being fair. I’m being completely fair. I am trying to do the right thing, but it’s not enough for you guys. I am over this. Seriously. I truly, truly give up.

[ Summer exhaling ] Choosing a treatment for your chronic migraine –

Daniel: Mom.

Phyllis: Hm?

Daniel: I am sorry.

Phyllis: And why would you apologize to me? I’m a lifelong criminal, a lifelong screw-up. I don’t deserve an apology.

Summer: Look, we recognize that you– you actually have been trying and maybe– maybe we haven’t been totally fair to you today.

Phyllis: There’s no maybe. You have not been fair.

Daniel: Okay, look, we questioned your motives and your methods. That has kind of become a knee-jerk reaction for us and it is not okay. It’s not cool.

Summer: You’re right about the jack thing. We just really hate that it’s put you back on tucker’s radar. That’s it, okay?

Daniel: Yes.

Phyllis: Okay, listen, I– I want you two to know that I can handle that, trust me.

Summer: Okay, but mom, just don’t do anything stupid.

Phyllis: Me?

[ Daniel chuckling ] Listen, okay, guys. I know I have a long way to go before you trust me again. I know that. I want you guys to give me the benefit of the doubt, please, and by the way, I’m far from stupid.

[ Phone chiming ] Oh. Uh-oh.

Daniel: What?

Phyllis: Um, I have some unfinished work. Oh, I have to go back to the office. Um, you know, my boss, he’s a real stickler, so… well, um, hey, maybe, we can get together tomorrow and finish our celebration, and hopefully, it won’t get interrupted.

Daniel: That would be nice. It sounds like a good plan.

Phyllis: Okay.

Daniel: You have a good night.

Phyllis: Okay. Good night. Hey, today’s the beginning of my new life.

Summer: Okay.

Phyllis: Yay!

Summer: Night, mom.

Daniel: So?

Summer: I don’t know. I really just wish that we could have a night with our mom that was just a normal night with our mom.

Daniel: Think that’s ever gonna happen?

Summer: I keep wanting to believe her and she keeps pulling the rug out from under me again, so.

Daniel: So, you think there’s more to the story?

Summer: It’s our mom, daniel. There’s always more to the story. And it usually doesn’t have a happy ending.

Jack: What’s your plan?

Billy: We stop playing games with tucker. He enjoys it too much. We don’t give him the satisfaction.

Jack: How?

Billy: We drop the hammer on him. We release everything we have out into the public. He’s gonna come after us and come after our company, that’s fine, but we release that dirt and we show him that we are not backing down.

Jack: Hey, kyle.

Kyle: Hey, dad.

Jack: Hey, you okay?

Kyle: Um, sure, yeah, dad, everything’s fine.

Jack: You don’t seem fine. What is it? What’s wrong?

Tucker: Right on time. Come on in. I’m happy you’ve seen the wisdom of falling into line.

Phyllis: Mm, is that why you think I’m here, tucker?

Tucker: What other reasons could there be?

Phyllis: Well, um…

[ Both laughing ] You’re about to fall into line. I, once again, am holding the cards.

Tucker: Oh, brother. This should be amusing.

Phyllis: Okay, well, let me tell you, um… we’ll see if you find it amusing. I, uh, was doing a deep dive into all of your spy purchases recently for jack, and, um, I came across a really, really interesting connection to mamie johnson.

Tucker: And that’s supposed to mean something to me.

Phyllis: Well, maybe, not to you… but it’s gonna mean something to lily and devon. It’s gonna mean something to jill abbott. That you and mamie johnson are silent partners.

[ Phyllis laughing ] Oh. Let me see. Let me see. Let me see. Well, I once again, am in the driver’s seat and I’m sure this is a secret that you don’t wanna let out. So… how should we proceed?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Here you are! I’ve been looking all over for you. It’s almost like you’re avoiding me. No. No, no, no. Why would I avoid you? Look, I understand the situation. Now, in front of olivia, who happens to be one of my best friends in the whole world, you have to pretend so you could spare her feelings. Pretend? Well, w-what do you mean? Eddie! We’re alone now, right? I mean, come on. When you first walked in and you saw me, the look on your face was undeniable. You may not remember olivia, but you remember me. Well, as I said, you look very familiar. Mm-hmm, which is exactly what you need to say in front of the family you forgot. There’s no way you can forget all the times we had. Young lois:

Face it, eddie. I am relentless in my pursuit of excellence. I’m not a singer. I’m a salesman. Come on.

[ Chanting softly ] Eddie. Eddie. Eddie.

[ Cheers and applause ] Yeah! You were amazing! Eddie, eddie, eddie! You took my breath away! Come here, you little miracle worker! Oh! Eddie!

[ Laughs ] I will remember this night for the rest of my life. I won’t forget it, either. You know, we seem to have a little time on our hands. Any suggestions on, uh, how to fill it? I don’t know what I did to deserve you, but I sure do love you. And I would be so honored if you’d be my wife. Okay! Lois: Edward lawrence ashton is the biggest liar on the face of the earth! Mr. Ned ashton is none other than mr. Eddie maine! Not a word! Not another word from your lying mouth! Not ever again! I love you. I don’t know who you are. I don’t even think

you know who you are. I’m ned ashton, who fell in love with a woman who changed my life, who made me love her and need her in a way that I have never loved or needed anyone.

[ Shrieks ] I can’t do this anymore. You and I are from two completely different worlds. We have to start thinking about what’s best for the baby. That’s what really matters. I love you, ned. Ned: But you’re still leaving me. Some people never find it, you know, loves of their life. But I owned it — for a while anyway. Forever. Lois: Come on. Our wedding… coney island… I can see it in your eyes. You remember me. That’s not what you’re seeing in my eyes. Look — you look familiar, but I really don’t remember you or our wedding. I mean, I was married to olivia, and I don’t remember her. I’ve got this great daughter and I don’t remember her, either. Finn, where are you? It’s backgammon night. You’re late. No. He’s not. Finn’s not coming. You came all this way to tell me that? No. I came to settle a score. And, pilar, will you just wait right here with avery? Yeah. Of course. Hi. May I please speak to detective falconeri? It’s a matter of life and death. Dex! Did you find ava?

[ Monitor beeping ] Drew: Hey. Hi. Hi. Hm. Mmm… how are you feeling? Better now that you’re here. Okay. What did the doctors say? They said that I am recovered enough to go back to prison. Cyrus: Dr. Gatlin-holt. What are you doing here? Well, I’m happy to see you again, too. You know, we have some unfinished business. Yeah, ma, that’s great lois is back in town. I will — when I get a chance. Yeah. Okay. But I got to go. Because I’m at work, ma. Okay. Love you. Bye.

[ Knock on door ] Yeah? Sorry to bother you, detective, but she said it was urgent. It is. Yeah. What is it, joss? Ava’s in trouble. Dex! Anything?! Damn. No. There’s no one here. Basement is empty. No sign of ava.

[ Engine shuts off ] You don’t have to do this, mason. Oh, but I do, ava.

Uh, ava didn’tpick up avery? No. And pilar hasn’t been in contact with ava. Does sonny know? No. Pilar knew that he was marrying nina in puerto rico. She didn’t want to contact my mom ’cause she’s dealing with drew in the hospital. I went to wyndemere. I talked to ava’s butler. He hasn’t seen her since the night before last. But yesterday morning, he — he found a broken martini glass on the living-room floor. I found ava’s cellphone. And this. This isn’t avery’S. She hates grape. I asked her. It’s not hers. So you think whoever dropped that was with ava? Dex: You’re certain this is the final location with ties to pautuck trucking? Yes. Affirmative. And you’ve already searched the other seven. It’s a reasonable assumption, given his connection to the trucking company,

that he would have

taken ms. Jerome to one of these locations. Okay. Did you check to see if mason gatlin has any properties only in his name? I went through all the financials available on mr. Gatlin, including purchase histories, credit cards, known addresses. Everything points to him only using these properties. Spinelli, this may be nothing, but… ava was here. You’re certain? Yeah. Yeah. Uh, maybe gatlin was alerted when I checked the other locations and he decided to move her. Seems like a logical conclusion.

I need you to check

every traffic camera in pautuck and on the surrounding highways. Already under way.

Okay. If mason is

still in the same vehicle, we may get lucky. I know this wasn’t your idea, mason. Why? I’m so dumb, I can’t have one? No. No. Because…I don’t think you’d hurt me. I don’t think you’d hurt anybody. I just — I think you’re following orders. And I understand that whoever you’re working for must be very powerful. But this is one order that I think that you should disobey. ‘Cause if you go through with this and sonny finds out that you were behind my disappearance — and believe me, he will find out — then you’re gonna be the one who pays. I think you know what that means. Mason. Really, your only chance is to let me go. You think so? Yeah. I’ll cover for you. You’d do that for me? You’d cover for me with sonny? Yeah! Yeah. Of course. Of course I would. I’ll make up some excuse for why I — for why I was gone. And sonny will buy it. He will. I-I’ve gotten things over on him in the past, you know. Well, that’s a really good offer. Except for that you already told me he’d figure out anything I did because he’s so damn smart. But you want me to believe

you’ve fooled him?

[ Chuckles ] I can do it. I can. And, you know, right now I haven’t been gone long enough for him to even be suspicious! But if I’m gone for much longer or if — if something should happen to me, sonny will find out what you did. But if you bring me home right now… I’ll protect you.

[ Chuckles ] Ava, you’re full of it. I’m not gonna let you go. We’re gonna sit here, quietly… and wait for my orders. Austin: What do you want? I want to thank you for testifying on my behalf at the hearing. As you can see, with your critical input, the judge determined I wasn’t medically fit to stay in pentonville and finish my sentence. Right. Because you’re such a “feeble” man. You know, complete freedom miraculously invigorates a man. Well, you are a master of miracles. So why don’t you pull another one out of your hat and let ava go? When did you become so cynical? We had a deal — I would testify on your behalf, and if you were released, then you would release ava. So here you are. Now you live up to your end of the bargain and tell mason to let ava go. When? When do they want you going back to pentonville? I’m not exactly sure. Okay, well, that’s wrong. Your doctor’s being overly optimistic about your condition. Carly… I mean, I’m gonna talk to him, and I’m gonna make him understand that it’s way too soon to send you back to pentonville. No, I don’t want you to ask the doctor to lie or exaggerate to keep me here longer, carly. He saved my life. He did his job. Saving your life could be a waste of time. Because if he sends you back to pentonville, the people who almost killed you are gonna try and finish the job! Hey, you two. Eddie, ma, I wanted to introduce you to chase. Oh! It’s very nice to meet you, ms. Cerullo. Oh! Well, aren’t you as gorgeous as everyone says! And please do not call me ms. Cerullo. Please call me lois. Thank you, lois. You know, I was practically a baby when I had her. Ma! What? I’m just being honest with the man who’s making our daughter so happy. I mean, you weren’t lying to me when you told me that, right? Of course not. Chase is the best. Aww. And that’s exactly what our daughter deserves. Isn’t that right, ned? Eddie. -What? -Pay attention. Seeing these two together, it feels so right. Right? A-and, chase, you should feel honored because my daughter doesn’t settle for anyone. Ma! What?! I’m just saying! You always go where your heart leads you, and your heart led you to chase. Was it your heart that led you to me, lois? Alright. Let me have it. Thank you. What? Thank you. You did something that had to be done. I kept putting it off, and I shouldn’t have. You’re not angry? Damn straight I’m angry — at you, at myself for not telling chase, at my diagnosis. But if my illness has taught me anything, it’s that… anger is a waste of time.

[ Laughs ]

What the hell’s so funny? I’m sorry. I’m not laughing at you. I’m laughing at myself. I was so convinced that you were gonna be furious with me for telling chase about your als, for which I am so sorry. But instead, here you are waxing philosophical about anger and time. I was hardly “waxing.” But I do understand the irony, even if I fail to see the humor. Well, I guess I-I find it funny that you think that anger’s a waste of time. It is. Well, for me, I find anger a powerful motivator. In fact, I consider my ability to channel anger into action an asset. Figures you would. We kind of had a complicated romantic history. That would have been good for you to forget. I’d still like to hear it. Nah. Nah. Some other time. You know, chase and his better half don’t want to sit here listening to me yammer on about our past.

I’d like to hear it. Brook lynn and lois: Really? Absolutely. Alright. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Come on. Uh, okay. Well…

[ Clears throat ] I guess it all started when my heart led me to a man who didn’t exist. Carly. I’m gonna be fine. Don’t worry. How can you ask me not to worry about you? Well, I’m in pentonville because of my own actions, my own decisions. You’re being your usual noble self, and I love it. It’s something I absolutely love about you. But it doesn’t cost that doctor a damn thing to keep you here, to keep you safe! Hell, he’s not risking his medical license. He’s protecting your life, the life that he saved. And I love you for trying to rationalize it, I really do, but you got to let me deal with my own situation. It’s not your own situation. It’s my situation, too. You don’t have to take orders from anybody. Oh, god. Will you shut up?! I know exactly who you think I am. I’ve known ever since that fancy quartermaine barbecue. Yeah, you walked in and you saw me threatening austin… and you saw the knife in my hand. Turned you on a little. I could see that in your eyes. Then you heard me talk… saw a little dirt under my fingernails and said to yourself, “hey. He’s white trash.” I wasn’t worth your breath. It wasn’t until you found out that I knew you murdered your rich husband… that I even got your attention. And then I could see how phony it was. But, hey, my smart-ass cousin,

he got your attention. Yeah, ’cause he’s a high and mighty doctor. So you just jumped right in the sack with him. Betcha that was disappointing, huh? You could’ve had your chance to be with me, a real man. But you missed it. And now you’re never gonna get that chance again. So you’re gonna sit there and you’re gonna shut up! Giving you a seat right here in the important person’s chair. Do you know where mommy is? Uh, you know, that’s what we’re gonna figure out, okay? I know it’s late, but I want you to stay here with your sister and pilar, okay? Okay. Alright. Cool? Thank you. Yeah. Of course. Hey. Uh… whatever they need. Okay? You got it. Thank you. As I said, I am grateful for your help, doctor. And I trust, with the lord’s guidance, everyone will be safe. Stop. Cyrus, stop. I promise you — ava’s not a threat to you. She has no idea that mason and I work for you.

[ Device beeping ] Sounds as if your patients need you. Godspeed. Okay.

[ Cellphone rings ] Yeah. Do you have the passenger? I do. Take her home. Hey. Wait. I don’t think that’s — the situation has been resolved to my satisfaction. Take. Her. Home.

S young. Practically a baby, like I told you earlier. And I was naive. I became completely infatuated with eddie maine, who I thought was living a double life. Pharmaceutical salesman by day, rocker by night. That’s quite a combination. Tell me about it! Little did I know, he was actually ned ashton, who was planning on marrying another woman at that time. And get this — he actually married that woman while he was married to me. Olivia? No, no. Not vivi. That came later. You could sell this story to “20/20.” I tried! They didn’t believe me. Right? Hold on. Eddie…is any of this ringing a bell? ‘Cause I swear it’s the god’s honest truth. No. No. And just so you know, I am not living a double life now. I am myself — eddie maine, musician. And, lois, look. If what you’re saying really happened — whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you calling me a liar? No. I just want to apologize on behalf of the man I was back then… and for the way I treated you. So, how is chase handling it? Wait a minute. How are you? Here. Sit. Ah. Well, I’M… getting weaker. My hands are cramping and twitching a lot more. I drop things. I really miss being able to drive myself, but I had to give that up a while back so I wouldn’t pose a danger to anyone else. And I’m probably gonna have to start using a cane sometime soon ’cause my balance is going in and out. Otherwise, I’m great. How about you? How about a drink? Sounds good. Scotch okay? Perfect. I am… very relieved you came by.

[ Chuckling ] You are? Yes. You know how it is when you’ve made a mistake and you dread the consequences? Yeah. That’s how I felt with chase. No, no, no, no, no. You may not have handled the situation perfectly, not telling chase when you told finn, but there were mitigating circumstances. I, on the other hand, shoved my foot right in my mouth and blurted something that was not mine to say. Clearly there was no malice intended.

[ Glasses clink ] Clearly. ‘Cause if there is, you’d know it.

[ Chuckles ] I’m sure. Why did finn bail on me, by the way? Violet has a cold. Mm. I’m sorry to hear that. You know, I could fill in for finn. Oh. That’s nice. Thank you. But finn understands my — uh, my competitive nature. You? Competitive? Shocking, I know. Who do you think taught finn everything he knows about backgammon? Hmm. In that case… let’s roll. I’m the one who acted on inside information. It’s my fault that you’re in this situation. Carly, we have been over this. You got to stop blaming yourself. Believe me, I would love to blame someone else. We don’t have that much time left. Let’s not go over this. I know that you didn’t mean any of this to happen. But it happened! A-and you almost died because those inmates attacked you, and now they want to send you right back to them! Okay. [ Grunts ] It’s not the doctor’s fault that I’m in prison. Whoever turned us in to the sec knew that the feds would twist what we did and make us look guilty. But not “us.” It’s you. You’re the one taking the fall. My choice.

[ Knock on door ][ Door opens ] What the hell? Hey, josslyn, I’m gonna call my mother just to let her know where I am. Oh, yeah. Of course. We’ll be fine. Okay. Hey, you. So…I heard your dad and nina got married. Yeah. On daddy’s island. Bet it was beautiful. Yeah. Donna got to go, but I didn’T. You know, your dad really wanted you to be there, and he was super disappointed about how things worked out. But I think when he and nina get back, they’re gonna arrange to take you somewhere super special. You think?! I’ll make sure of it? Come here. I hope mommy can go, too. Who was that on the phone?

[ Engine starts ] Wha– hey. Where — where are we going, mason? What are you gonna do?! To hell with the boss’s orders. Thank god.

[ Engine shuts off ] What are you doing?! Handling things my way. No. No! No! No! [ Grunts ]

[ Cellphone ringing ] Hey. What’s going on, spinelli? I was hoping you could tell me. Has dex been in touch with you? No, I thought that you were in contact with him, and he was checking out those places in pautuck. Yeah, I-I was, but now I-I’m not. I-I got a hit on mason gatlin’s vehicle out on county road 21, and I sent that information to dex. What? He’s following that maniac? Yes, and we had cell contact when he began his pursuit, but then he hit a dead zone.

[ Inhales sharply ] Sorry. Poor choice of words. Well, spinelli, you have all of that fancy equipment. Use it and find dex! I’m doing my best, but if you hear from him… I’ll let you know right away. Copy that.

[ Line ringing ] Come on, dante.

[ Mason grunts ] You singing a different tune now, ava?! No! No! Stop! Stop!

[ Vehicle door closes ] Let her go! That’s it? That’s what? What I just told you, what my eddie put me through, are just the tips of the icebergs. And, what, you think “I’m sorry” just covers that? Uh, I don’t know what else you expect me to say. My eddie maine was an alter-ego, but this eddie maine, he’s conveniently forgotten all the schemes and the schnookery that my eddie maine put me through. So I guess — I guess my question of all of this is, how many eddie maines are in there?! I know you don’t want to hear it… of course I don’t want to hear it. Because I lived it! Because even after

all of that, I ended up marrying ned ashton quartermaine. And we had a beautiful daughter and we had some great memories. We were very much in love, and we were married for some time. And then we got divorced. But this eddie maine, he’s forgotten all of the terrible things my eddie put me through. But this eddie maine has also forgotten all of the wonderful, wonderful times that we have had. And you’re a poorer man for that. And I pity you! Well, I don’t need your damn pity, lady! Because I’m very happy just the way I am!

[ Sighs ] I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Chase, I apologize. I may have let that go a little too far. No. No. Uh, now I know where your daughter gets her spirit. I’m sorry. I hope I’m not interrupting. What are you doing out of prison? Oh, I remember — you like to get right to the heart of the matter, don’t you, mrs. Corinthos? It’s spencer. Of course. Uh, clearly, you and mr. Corinthos are no longer together. Answer the question. You wouldn’t be standing here having passed right by the guard if you broke out of pentonville. You’d be on your way to a country with no extradition treaty. Alas, nothing so dramatic. I was released from pentonville earlier today. On what grounds? Medical. The doctors determined that any further stay could jeopardize my health and that I don’t have the capacity to harm anyone. And you were concerned about asking the doctor to stay here longer? When some quack let this maniac out on the streets? And my first mission on said streets was to come and check on the man who saved my life. Big mistake. You know, I am so glad you’re here keeping my friend drew company, ms. Spencer, because I have long wanted to see you. Who are you? You’ll never know if you don’t drop the gun. I got a clean shot. Take the shot!

[ Ava screams ]

[ Grunting ]

I believe that’s 3-1. Best of 7? No. It’s late. I’d better be heading back. I’m tired. Coward. Absolutely. I can see by that killer look in your eye that I should quit while I’m ahead. Oh, you’re a liar. You are really good. Thank you. And thank you for the distraction and the drink. We’ll do it again. I’d like nothing more. I didn’t realize how gratifying it could be to beat tracy quartermaine at something. Well, hold on to that feeling until the next time when I wipe the floor with you.

[ Chuckles ] We’ll just have to wait and see. Let me call a ride service. No, no, no. Yuri will take you. Okay. Thank you. -Gregory. -Yeah? I… I really am sorry. No. I-I told you. I’m not upset about what happened with chase. I don’t mean that. I mean your — your diagnosis. Good night.

[ Grunting ] No! Stop!

[ Gunshots ] I have nothing to say to you. So get out. I can appreciate your antipathy, ms. Spencer. After all, there was a great deal of friction between us when your ex-husband, sonny, went missing and you and jason morgan were running the territories. What do you want, cyrus? I just want ms. Spencer to understand that any friction back then was before I found the lord.

[ Chuckling ] Are you kidding me? Look. I regret the tactics I used. But even then, there was no personal animosity, ms. Spencer. I have tons of personal animosity towards you. And I completely understand. But I just hope that at some point in the future I will have the opportunity to make amends. Don’t hold your breath. I’m sure that at least you appreciate the fact that I was able to come to the aid of mr. Cain. What is he talking about? I have no clue. Oh, I’m sorry. I-I assumed they told you I was the one who found you lying beaten in the shower. I got help for you. I was told you would have perished otherwise. So just as you saved my life, the lord gave me an opportunity to save yours. And seeing you here like this recovering so well after the way you looked after I came to your aid, it’s — it’s thanks enough. God bless you both. Oh. You’re here. I live here. Oh, I know. I know. I was just hoping maybe — ah. Never mind. What’s up? That woman is driving me crazy. Olivia? No, the other one. Ohh. You mean not your wife, olivia — your ex-wife, lois. I don’t remember either one of them. But the second one. Yeah, well, lois drives everybody a little crazy. She keeps going on and on about our past. The part where you married her or the part where you married someone else while you were married to her? I don’t need to hear this from you. You’re right. I’m sorry. Look. I — I am not a lois fan. However, you must realize how difficult this situation is for her. I do, but no one seems to understand how difficult this is for me. All I keep hearing about is what an awful guy I was… or what a wonderful guy I was. And none of it means anything to me because I’m not that guy. I’m sorry. Yeah. Me too. Uh, why did you come in here? Well, when my head is spinning like this, I find that music is the only thing that helps me. Okay. Be my guest. Thank you. From the first time that I arrested brook lynn, I could tell that she was a force of nature. You say that like arresting her was a romantic gesture. No, but needless to say, she didn’t appreciate my actions as a detective. Because you didn’t really have a rea– shh, shh, shh. I want to hear what he has to say. From the first time, even though that we didn’t agree on everything — on anything. Okay. On anything.

[ Chuckles ] I couldn’t help but admire her spirit and commitment. I mean, she was so eager to put everything that she believed in on the line. And I always wondered where she got that nerve from. Now I know. Aww. Well, you know, I didn’t do everything right when it comes to being a mother, but if I taught my daughter to stand up for herself, then that makes me proud. ‘Cause my brook lynn, she’s always been her own person. With a very high tolerance for embarrassment. I already apologized for the scene with your father. I know, ma. It’s fine. I’m just glad that chase got to meet the real you. I’m glad I finally got to meet you, lois. Well, the feeling is mutual. It makes me feel so good to see my daughter so happy. And you seem like a very kind and patient man. Ma! Both of which are qualities that are good to have if you’re gonna move forward with my daughter. Okay. I got to break this love fest up. We have to go. Okay. Wait. Just one hug. I want a hug. Come on. Ohh.

Brook lynn: Let’s go, chase. Aww. Brook? Hey! Hello?! You’re welcome. For what? They’re together because of me. Oh, is that a fact? My daughter found a man that clearly adores her, and she loves him back, and that joy is all because of you? They were miles apart. I brought them together. Because you blackmailed my daughter to get what you wanted! That man didn’t find the lord. He found a loophole. You got to give cyrus some credit, though. He knows how to work the system. System? The system’s a joke! That man is walking around free while you’re going back to pentonville for insider trading that you lost money on?! It’s insane! It’s just something that we got to deal with, at least for now. That man is dangerous. He can’t be out there roaming the streets of port charles.

[ Cellphone rings ] Josslyn, what’s up? Mom, everyone is safe, but something’s happened, and you need to come home right away. Ava: Dex? Are you alright? Dante: This is detective falconeri. I need paramedics and a crime-scene unit about two miles up county road 21. Thank you. Did he hurt you? No. No. I’m okay. How did you find me? With a lot of help. It’s a long story. Well, I’m glad I’ll get to hear it. Perp is still alive, but he’s unconscious. Two gunshot wounds to the back. He’s gonna need medical attention and transport. Thank you. Bastard gonna live? Eh, guys like this usually do. Any idea why he brought you up here? It was pretty clear when he was dragging me to the edge of the cliff before dex showed up. I mean, ava, any idea why he abducted you in the first place? Orders, I guess, from his boss. Who’s his boss? Did you get a name? No. But when I do, they’re gonna wish I never heard it.

[ Button clicks ] I need to talk to ava.

[ Sighs ] She seems to have become quite important in your life. I need to know that she’s okay. Austin, I have expressed my gratitude for your help at the hearing, but gratitude only goes so far. You’ve known me a long time, and I’m sure by now you understand you are in no position to make demands. It’s best to remember who’s in control here.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Sean resigned? I’m as surprised as you are. What’s he gonna do now? Well, he’s leaving town, moving closer to his parents. I guess there’s a good rehab facility out there. I see. Well, at least he’s getting the help that he needs, wherever that may be. Yeah. What are you thinking? Oh. I know Sean promised that it was just a one night stand, what happened with he and my sister, and that it will never happen again.

But, I still can’t help but feel a bit relieved that the two of them are going to be very far apart from each other.

Wait, Mrs. Brady.

Look, I just wanted to say, um, when you walked in on me talking to Sean at the police station, that was just a one time thing, okay? You never have to worry about me dropping in on him ever again. Yeah, I know. Because Sean just left town.

Happy birthday, my love.

God, look at you. You’re still the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on.

Abby.

I know you’ve been gone for a while now. But I

still miss you.

Every minute. Of every day.

You’re still with me though.

I hear.

You know, we have um, we have a good birthday planned for you. Julie’s gonna, gonna meet me at the cemetery with the kids.

Spoiler alert. I brought you flowers

and then the kids say I made you a few things.

Remember the good times?

How happy you made us all.

How grateful we are. We were for the time that we did have with you.

We should’ve,

we should’ve had more though. We should’ve had so much more time.

I have, I’ve tried. Believe me, I have tried to get rid of this anger.

Because I know that is what you would want.

But I

can’t. I can’t. Because every time,

I think about how I found you that night.

I think about how you were taken from

us. And I think about Clyde Weston and what you.

To us.

How can that son of

a bitch live with himself? Oh, Ava? Ava Vartali? Yes? It’s so nice to hear your voice. Uh, listen. Little Birdie told me that your baby boy had an accident at work today. And, um, I think you should know. It wasn’t no accident. What? Who the hell is this? Well, uh, you’ll find out soon enough. Cause you and I, we got a lot to talk about, mama.

Why? Why did you attack my son? Well, I think you misunderstood. Um, unfortunately, I wasn’t able to do the deed myself. You see, at the present time, I happen to be locked up. You’re in prison. That’s right. You do catch on fast. But like I said, we need to talk in person. So why don’t you mosey on down to Statesville and ask to see prisoner number 49.

9 2 4, a. k. a. Clad Westin.

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

Clad Westin. Why would you attack my son? Answer me. I await your arrival, Miss Vitale, when all will be revealed. Hey,

Mom,

where are you going? Um, I, uh, I have to take care of something. I’ll be back. Wait,

Sean left town? Wow, I, I had no idea. Just to be clear, Sean and I are still together. He just went to go spend some time with his parents and get the help that he needs. Yeah, of course. But, you’re not going with him? Not that it’s any of your business, but no. I’ll be staying here in Salem for the foreseeable future.

So listen, if you could just do me a favor. Yeah, anything. Just stay away from me, okay?

Talia and Sean, I know how upsetting that was for you. Never mind me. He cheated on his wife. Yeah, Bell’s the one that’s really going through it. Well, the alcohol clouded his judgment. And hers. But, uh, he realizes he has a problem and he’s dealing with it and that’s a good thing. In the meantime, I need to find you a partner and considering we are understaffed, I’m gonna need to hire someone new.

Yes? Uh, excuse me, Commissioner. Uh, do you have a moment? Is

Belle okay? Why do you ask? Well, because she was in earlier, and she just seemed off. You know, and I, I know that she’s been having problems with Sean, but I thought that you told me he was doing okay and that she was encouraged. She was. She was. Um, but then things have gone, uh, rather badly. They’ve gone from bad to worse, in fact.

And it just makes me so sad because she’s, she… She has supported him. She has stood by him. During his, uh, drinking. During his depression because of his father and his grandfather and now… And now what?

Now he’s cheated on her. Let’s tell you, Hunter.

I know, Mrs. Brady, that this is bad. Listen, Talia, listen. I don’t blame you for what happened. Okay? Not entirely, anyway. I know that this is on Sean. Right. Having said that, though, I’m sure you can understand why I just don’t want to be around you. But it’s going to be hard. It’s going to be hard to avoid each other in Salem because it’s a really small town and, you know, I get the sense that you probably don’t want to be bumping into me either, so why don’t we just agree to just steer clear of each other, okay, like, forever.

Okay, I’m here.

What the hell is going on? Ms. Fatale, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Oh, cut the crap. Why’d you have my son attacked? Right to the point, huh? I do lack that in a woman. Okay. Why did I have you sign up tech? Because you screwed up my plans. You see, I’m trying to build a business empire from in here. Oh, an empire, huh?

Of what? Toilet wine? Blue cigarettes? No. Pharmaceuticals. And we were all about ready to launch. When you nearly destroyed the entire operation. And how’d I do that? Well, you see, I couldn’t really run a business from in here, so I needed a partner on the outside. Oh my God, can we please get to the point?

Well, let’s just say that this partner was less than a willing participant. But, I found the means to force him to do my bidding. Until, of course, you stole my leverage. Leverage? What leverage? What the hell are we talking about here? We’re talking about the partner I just lost. Who happens to be a close personal friend of yours.

Mr. E. J. DeMare.

Chad, what brings you by? Uh, you know, Thomas and Charlotte wanted to see Rachel. Apparently her toys are much, much better than theirs. Yes, I think she got a new hole last week. Right. Anyway, I thought it would be good for the kids to have a play date. Yeah. We just came from Abby’s grave. Of course. Today is her birthday, isn’t it?

Yeah, you remember. She was my sister and all. I

miss her too.

Mr. Michaels. What can I do for you? Well, I was hoping to have a word with you. Your assistant said now might be a good time, but I don’t mean to interrupt. No, you’re fine. I was actually just about to go grab some lunch. So, excuse me. So, Amanda, what’s up? Uh, you know, I’m a bit reluctant, um, given the circumstances and, uh, my recent history and not so recent history.

You know what, I think this is just a mistake. Wait, wait, what’s a mistake? What’s on your mind? Well, I’m here because, um,

I wonder if there’s any possibility that maybe… Harris, why don’t you just say it? I need a job.

I still can’t believe the, uh, the news about your, your mother. I mean, You must be so happy, so relieved. I am. I, I just… I just wish that she could have stayed. Did she go back to Memphis? Couldn’t wait to get back to Roger and tell, tell him the good news. That, like the king himself, the rumors of her death were greatly exaggerated.

Yeah, I envy you. Yeah, I mean, your mom may have gone home, but, uh, but she’s out there. Somewhere, you know, she’s just a, she’s just a quick flight away. Yes, that’s, that is true. And Chad, how I wish that were the case with Abigail. I know today is especially difficult. Her birthday. Yeah, it is. You know, let’s um, focus on the good news.

You got your mom back. I do. I do. And, and, honestly, I don’t think I’ll ever forget the moment that Harris Michaels brought her through those doors.

You need a job. Oh, you mean here? Yeah. Yes. Here. I mean, although I may not have experience with law enforcement, I was talking to Kate Brady. Uh, you know Kate, right? Yeah. Yeah. We’re acquainted. Okay. Well, um, she actually mentioned, um, that, you know, the training and the skills that I do have, that I could be maybe of some value to you.

Ah, I see. Right. So when you say training, you mean in the Navy? Yeah, that’s, that’s exactly what I mean. Yeah. I went to the police academy before, then I went to the military, and that’s when I became a SEAL. Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, I’m sure you have quite the skill set. Yeah. I mean, you used it, uh, in those special ops you did for Megan Hathaway, right?

You kidnapped John Black and Steve Johnson. That’s no mean feat. Yeah, that’s uh, not what I was talking about when I said I was qualified. Yeah. So, um, I thank you for your time, Commissioner. Yeah, well why are you rushing off so fast? I was enough.

So, do we understand each other? You and I are just gonna do everything we can to stay as far away from each other as possible because I really just need you to stay away from me. Talia, are you okay? Hey. Hey, I couldn’t hear what Belle was saying to you just now, but I can’t imagine that it was anything good.

No, it wasn’t. But I mean, I get it. She has every right to hate me. Yeah, well maybe she does. But she has no right to be cruel to you. Okay? Listen. I’m gonna go talk to her, okay? No, please don’t, okay? I don’t want to cause more trouble than it already is. So please just leave it. Okay.

Whatever, fine. But listen, Talia. Sean was complicit in what he did. And at some point, Belle’s gonna have to realize that you did not mean to hurt her. And I know, I know this sounds cliche, but please believe me when I say that this will get better, okay? It’ll get easier in time. Yup. I know it will. Because…

Jayna, I won’t be here.

Tripp? Hey. I didn’t expect to find you here. Ah, but here I am. Uh, how’d it go at the unemployment office? Well, I filed my claim. Mm hmm. And then I got the hell out of there. You know, I think that place has the DMV beat. Hands down, worst afternoon ever. Which is why you are definitely a sight for sore eyes.

Well, after the day I’ve had, I can definitely say the same about you. But why are you even here? I thought you had to shift at the hospital. I did, I did. But then I got the hell out of there. And so, if you want it, that means we could. Wait, wait, wait. What about your mom? She’s not here. When’s she coming back?

That’s hopefully not too soon. Yeah, that’s not too reassuring, Tripp. I’m sorry, I know. I don’t know where she is. Uh, she did leave in kind of a hurry, though. Is something wrong? I hope not. Uh, but she did seem kind of rattled. Uh, I don’t know. She has something to take care of. I have no idea what it was.

DJ. What are you talking about? What leverage? You really need me to spell it out? Okay. I had his momma on ice in London. Oh my god. It was you. You handed Susan over to Edmund Crumb.

How? How’d you do it from in here? Providence, Miss Vitali. Providence. An associate of mine just happened upon an injured Susan right after the crash. He flew a kite my way. Wasn’t very difficult to find that Looney Tunes ex husband of hers in London, so I just had her labeled fragile and shipped her on over.

And what, so you just, what, sat on her for about a year? Well, let’s just say that, um, finding investors was a little more difficult than I anticipated. But, lucky for me, Cronus took the side with Susan. Well, no problem to have him keep her under wraps until I did everything lined up, you know, then I was going to use her To force him to run my business But why AJ Well He and I did some business together back in the day And last time I got out of here.

I pitched teaming up again. Did he? Shopping down. Mr Posh Spice in his fancy mansion, but I found the incentive to, uh, Force his perfectly manicured hand. Until you stole my leverage. I think the word you’re looking for is… Rescued. So?

Because I messed up your little plan accidentally. You decide to try and kill my son? It’s fatality. Discretion is appreciated. Oh, you can shove your… I did not try to kill you, son. That was a warning. Because I need someone to replace EJ. And that someone’s gonna be you, mama.

Okay, we’re inside. We’re seated. Now tell me everything. And no, I am not gonna wait until we order. Uh, Jada, I… No, no, no, no. Don’t Jada me. I want you to tell me what you meant by you’re not going to be here. Look, it’s just, I was thinking it’s probably best that um, I go back to California. California? But you’re, you’re settled here.

And you have a good job, a great job at the hospital. Yeah, I know. And look, don’t get me wrong, I am very grateful to Kayla for setting that up for me. But look, I still have connections at Stanford. I graduated top of my class. I mean, it has to mean something, right? Of course it does. But it also means something here, too.

Listen, don’t let Belle run you out of town. You deserve to be here just as much as she does. I’m not so sure about that.

Michaels, I was just giving you a hard time. Yeah, you’re gonna have to be able to take that around here. So, you mean… You’d be an invaluable asset to Salem PD. Especially since we are severely understaffed. So, I’m hired? Well, no. I mean, I have to run it past the mayor. Especially considering the fact that you’d be a pretty unorthodox hire.

This would also probably put you back in the headlines. But, um… As long as the mayor doesn’t have a problem with it, I’m open to see you on PD.

I guess we’re pretty lucky then that their Harris Michaels blew into town. I suppose that’s true. But, none of this would have happened if Ava hadn’t remembered seeing my mother escape the car before it exploded. And, as much as I hate to admit it, I also have Ava to thank for bringing my mother back home to me.

Ugh. So, ketchup or hot sauce? Hm? To muscle down the, the hat? Or did, I mean, there’s no way you could have eaten it dry. Or did, was it crow that you had to eat? Yes, yes, yes. Enjoy it while it lasts, brother. So, then, um. Are you actually turning over a new leaf? Are you and Ava square? I’m not going to do anything drastic if that’s what you’re asking me.

But I don’t think square is the word I would use. Ava may have brought my mother back to me. But she is also responsible for my mother disappearing in the first place. I lost a year with my mother, Chad. And I won’t forgive her for that.

You want me to run your new drug empire? You used to run banks for the Philly mob, didn’t you? That was a long time ago. I’m going straight. Trying to put my life back together, and that starts with getting a legitimate job. Well, I’ll set you up with a legitimate job, alright? That’s not a problem. I got connections at the Bistro.

The Bistro? Mm hmm. What, in Horton Town Square? That’s the one. It’ll be a front, but… You’ll look the part. And none of your loved ones will be any of the wiser. Speaking of What? Well…

You know, I expected you to put up a little bit of a fight about this, which is why I sent my friend to visit your son. But like I said, that’s a warning. And if you don’t… Do what I ask you to do.

We sum to dead man.

You know what, this might be about Harris Michaels. Why do you think that? Well, when I got here, he, uh, was here. And they were a little friendly. Oh, friendly. Yeah. Which is a euphemism for more than friendly. Yeah. So you think there’s something going on between them? Well, my mom tried to deny it, but then, uh, she ended up telling me that the two of them are planning to have dinner.

Oh! Mm hmm. Good for them. Mm hmm. And, you know, they say the best relationships start out as friendships. Oh. Yeah. I mean, look at us. Oh.

What’s wrong? It’s nothing. Wait, wait. Is that a bandage in my hair? It’s nothing, really. Tripp, what happened? I was attacked at work. You were what?

So, a patient attacked you at work. You need to be bandaged up. And sent home early, and I don’t hear a word about it? I’m telling you now, and honestly, it’s really not that big of a deal. Trip, you got stabbed. It wasn’t a stabbing, okay? It was a minor cut. Really, the artery’s severed. Oh, how comforting. So?

Was this guy facing charges? They arrested him, right? Actually, he kinda got away. My God, so he’s still somewhere out there. What if he comes back? He won’t. Okay, hey, look. It was just some junkie, right, that went a little nuts. Okay, it’s not like he was out to kill me.

So, if I don’t agree to help you… Yeah, uh… I’m no fancy lawyer like our friend EJ, but from my perspective, I, it looks like you’re trapped. Oh, I’m trapped, okay. It’s pretty interesting coming from a guy who’s sitting here in prison. Oh, well, don’t let these four walls fool you, you know. I think I’ve proved that I can get to anyone on the outside.

And my friends would only be too happy to pay your son a visit on my behalf. Once again. So I don’t have a choice. If I want to keep my son safe, I have to run your business.

I do believe you finally get it.

And I would keep my pretty little mouth shut about this arrangement if I were you. Which, I don’t think should be a problem. You do strike me as a kind of woman who’s really good at keeping secrets.

Yes, sir. Ray, Bob, I do believe this is the beginning of a very profitable friendship.

Oh, I really, uh, I really appreciate this commissioner. Now that I’m working with the Salem PD in an official capacity, maybe there’s still a chance I can get that confession from EJ DeMera after all. Yeah, well, I won’t deny that that thought crossed my mind as well, but, uh, I have something else in mind for you.

Talia, don’t say that. Of course you deserve to be here. Yeah, well, I don’t agree with you. Okay, and even if I did deserve to be here, how can I have a life here now? I mean, I literally work at the hospital with Belle’s mother. Don’t even get me started with Chanel. I thought that was going to be something and now, seeing her with Johnny, you know, that hurts way too much.

So please, can we just face it that Salem was just a failed experiment for me. Tell you, listen, I know you’ve had a lot of disappointment here, but listen, I’m still here. I’m your big sister and I love you. You ride or die. T right. And trust me, I love you too. Okay. But. This isn’t something I just thought about in the spur of the moment.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while now, okay? So please, please just try not to talk me out of it anymore. This is something that I really need to do.

I’m gonna go

back.

Oh,

Jada. I know this has been hard for you. Talia’s grown up a lot in these past few months, and if she says that it’s time to go, then I believe her. It’s time to go. It’s not necessarily forever. Maybe, maybe she’ll take this time, and when she figures things out in her head, then maybe she’ll come back. Yeah.

Yeah, maybe she will. Yeah.

Hey. Hi. You’re heading to Cali? Yeah. I booked the last seat on the last flight tonight. Well, we’re gonna miss you. We will. Although, I can’t say I blame you with this Midwestern winter coming. Yeah. Yeah. You left to the airport? Um, no. Thanks. Um, I have a car coming. Okay.

So, um, you got everything? Yeah, I think so. But I know if I forget something, I know you’ll mail it to me. Yeah. You know, I got you, sis. And besides, it’s not like mom wouldn’t buy you two new things if you had anything you left anyway. You know. So, um, I’m gonna go. I’m gonna miss you so much. I’m gonna miss you too.

Be safe, okay?

Oh, looks like they approved my unemployment. That’s great. What’s the bad news? In order for my benefits to continue, I’m going to have to show meaningful proof that I’ve been searching for a new job. I was the head of the IT department at DiMera, okay? I can’t just find a health wanted sign in the square.

He just wants you to put something down. Don’t worry too much. Hey, think of this as a bonding opportunity. You could, uh, pound the pavement with my mom. Your mom? Yeah. She’s looking for a job too.

Ava. Oh,

hey. You okay? Yeah, yeah, I’m,

I’m, I’m, I’m fine. Okay, that’s good, because I have some news. Yeah? Just got a job at the Salem PD. Ray fired you, huh? Wow, that’s, that’s crazy. It’s great. Yeah, I couldn’t, I couldn’t believe it. And he’s already assigned me my first case. Really? Yeah. What is it? He wants me to find the person who delivered Susan to Edmund Crowe.

All right, well, I should probably, um, round up the kids. Promise them ice cream. Celebrate their, their mom’s birthday. Right? Chime. My heart breaks for you. And you may not want to hear this right now, but I wish to hell that I killed Clyde Weston when I had the chance. Especially when I’m around your wonderful children.

And mother cruelly taken away from them. From you.

Actually, I, I don’t mind hearing that. I am often, concerned with anger.

Really is a shame that, Belle and Sean, Showed up last year before we had a chance to take that bastard out. It would have been quite fun watching him bleed out in that cemetery.

Well, what do you know? Looks like this is going to work out after all.

Sorry for falling apart like this. Alright, it’s okay. It’s understandable. Jenna? Honey, what’s wrong? Hey. Hey, um, my sister, she’s, she’s leaving Salem. She’s actually on her way to the airport right now. What? But she just got a job at the hospital. I thought she was happy. She was, uh, up until recently. Oh. So it’s, is it about Sean?

And sleeping together? The repercussions thereof? You knew about that? Well, Marlena told me. Hey, look. No judgment whatsoever, but I think it probably is best for Marlena, Belle, and Vitalia too, that if they’re just not in close proximity for a while. Yeah, I, I get that. I just, I just wish it didn’t end up this way.

Of course not.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Relaxing music ]

Brooke: This is what we needed.

Ridge: It is. Why did we leave the house?

Brooke: I don’t know. I just– a change of scenery, you know. So we can forget about deacon and sheila.

Ridge: I think about deacon all the time. Not in that way. I just think that I don’t like the guy and he’s– he’s– I just didn’t think he was an idiot.

Brooke: Ugh, okay. Well, he says that he loves sheila.

Ridge: That’s what I mean. He’s an idiot.

Brooke: Look, he’s made some bad decisions, but he’s made some good decisions lately, like his relationship with his daughter and look what he’s done to il giardino. He’s made it a hit. And maybe he just looks at sheila differently. He’s unbiased compared to how we see her.

Ridge: Okay. Do you hear yourself? We’re talking about sheila.

Brooke: Yeah, I know.

[ Brooke groaning ] I just wanna– I wanna forget about sheila. I don’t want to talk about her. We have more important things to worry about, like my daughter and her relationship with your son, if we can call it that. You know, I am worried about her. She’s not even listening to me. See, here I go again with this negativity. I wanna stop that. No more negativity. I wanna think positive and I wanna think about beautiful things.

Ridge: Thank you. Thank you.

Brooke: Why yes, you are beautiful.

Ridge: Hm?

Brooke: Mm-hmm. And this, of course. Wow, this design? This is truly inspiring.

Ridge: It is inspired. By you.

Brooke: Aw.

Ridge: So, when you think about it, freud would say that you’re the reason I wanna defeat my father.

Brooke: Oh.

[ Brooke giggling ]

Eric: Yeah.

[ Eric sighing ] Nah. Don’t like it. Rj, look, I was gonna go with the guipure, but I think it’s too contemporary, it’s too modern for us, so let’s go with the, uh, alencon or the embroidered. I’m not sure. We’ll have to decide today though. All right. Good. Thank you.

[ Eric coughing ]

Donna: I heard you from the other room. Are you okay?

Eric: [ Raspy ] Yeah, yeah. Yes, I’m fine.

Rj: I don’t care what li says. You’re not leaving forrester. Hey, luna. Just the person I wanted to see.

Luna: Oh, yeah? You got an assignment?

Rj: No, maybe it just puts me in a good mood to see you.

Luna: That’s so sweet.

Rj: Hey, it’s just the truth.

Luna: Can I see?

Rj: Yeah. What do you think?

Luna: It’s so beautiful.

Rj: You think?

Luna: I mean, you’re so talented. And so kind and thoughtful. I wanted to thank you again for helping me stand up to my aunt li.

Li: Obviously, we will continually monitor him, but I say another 48 hours, he’ll be out of icu. Another 24-36 before pt’s in there to get him up and moving. He was lucky.

Finn: Lucky you were on call. Saved his life.

Li: One minute, I’m fighting with the vending machine–

Finn: Oh, the one outside ortho?

Li: Yeah.

Finn: Ugh.

Li: The next, I’m being called into surgery.

Finn: No, it’s a good thing because that vending machine didn’t stand a chance.

Li: What about you? Any new updates? Maybe on the personal side? Any progress with steffy?

Finn: Afraid not, but I’m determined to get steffy and the kids home as soon as possible.

Li: Make it happen. Your family needs you.

Finn: Speaking of, uh, family… I saw luna the other day.

Li: I heard.

Finn: Why are you insisting she leaves forrester creations?

[ Li sighing ]

Finn: Okay, nice try. That– that didn’t even vibrate.

Li: Just checking my next appointment.

Finn: Mom, come on. What’s up?

Li: Nothing. Maureen just shifted my schedule.

Finn: No. Why are you making luna quit her internship?

Rj: Hey, you don’t need to thank me, all right? You’re the one who stood up to your aunt. I just put you two in the same room. Come on. It wasn’t right the way she was treating you, yes?

Luna: Yeah, but the way you defended me.

Rj: She has no right to tell you whether you can or cannot work at forrester, all right? We all love having you here. Especially me. Yeah?

Luna: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: How could you possibly narrow this down for the challenge?

Ridge: Well, that’s a good problem to have, right?

Charlie: Hey, boss. I just got word there is another shipment of bling on its way. My team is prepped and anxious, as is charlie. And this whole challenge has really got charlie’s heart a-thumping.

Ridge: Well, you tell charlie from me that that is exactly why we’re doing this.

Charlie: There you go. Oh, good one. You got me. But, I mean, this is exciting. Father versus son, sensei versus seito. Peanut butter versus banana.

Ridge: Can I be the banana, please?

Charlie: You sure? I mean, you could– you could have peanut butter. Bottom line– bottom line is it’s eric versus ridge.

Donna: Are you sure you’re okay? I mean, you– you’ve been coughing more and more these days.

Eric: Look, I’m– I’m– oh, here, here–

Donna: I got it, I got it.

[ Donna gasping ] Eric…

can we get real clear

about life with psoriasis?

Li: Let’s up her to five milligrams of prednisone. That should help. Four days and taper. Yes. What? You would have done something different?

Finn: No, no. You just never answered me.

Li: About your cousin? What’s the big deal? Luna came into town, she’s headed out.

Finn: Sounds like you’re driving her out, and the more you keep avoiding my questions, the more I wonder why. What is going on between you and luna?

Rj: Okay. It looks like granddad is finally zeroing in on a lace.

Luna: Okay. I’ll, uh, I’ll let the cutting room know what we’re not going with so far.

Rj: Thanks, princess.

Luna: The challenge is coming up. You think eric will be ready?

Rj: Oh, yeah. No doubt. Me on the other hand.

Luna: Oh, come on. What are you talking about? You’re killing it.

Rj: Hey, well, with you by my side helping me out, I feel a lot better.

Luna: I know what you mean.

Rj: You know, we were talking earlier about your aunt and you know, I just– I’ve been meaning to tell you this. I just want you to know, I completely believe in you, 100%, that you can handle all of this. I just want you to know whatever, whenever, I’m here for you.

Ridge: Can charlie let me know when the shipment comes in, please?

Charlie: You will be the first to know.

Ridge: That’s good. That’s good.

Charlie: Now, what I– I want to know is will this fashion challenge be happening at high noon? I mean, I– I’m getting a vibe here like it’s the showdown at the ok corral.

Brooke: I think you’re mixing up your westerns.

Charlie: Yeah– yeah, but you know, it’s– it’s the good, the bad and the ugly. You can have ugly, if you want.

Ridge: That’s generous, right? Charlie, here’s the thing. There’s not gonna be a shootout. It’s all about gamesmanship. But, this may be my dad’s last stand.

Eric: Donna, let’s– let’s not make more out of it than it really is.

Donna: You just coughed up blood.

Eric: Yeah.

Donna: Wait. Something tells me this isn’t the first time, is it? You’ve been hiding this from me? Wait. What– what did we just say about keeping secrets? How can I help you–

Eric: Donna, I just didn’t want you to worry anymore than you already have been.

[ Donna sighing ]

Donna: Eric.

Eric: I’ll be okay. It’s all right. It’s all right. Don’t worry. Don’T. Still having bladder leaks?

Finn: I don’t understand. I mean, luna seems so nice and sweet. I remember when she was little, and then, she and aunt poppy–

Li: Penelope.

Finn: Yeah. They just disappeared from our lives. Luna says you’re the reason why, mother. So, I’m going to ask you again: What is going on?

Luna: Yeah, if I’m being honest, my aunt li’s been hard on my mom and me for… for as long as I could remember and that’s the reason I didn’t want her knowing that I was working here. You’ve changed that. I mean, you’re such a great guy, rj. The way you care about me and support me is just…

Rj: Hey. You have been supporting me with my granddad and his whole situation and the weight of that, okay? All I’m doing is just returning the favor, all right? Come here.

Brooke: Katie said you’re working on the vip guest list?

Charlie: Oh, yeah. Just, you know, standard operating procedure these days. Just have to make sure everything’s all set for the showdown at the ok corral.

Ridge: You’ve really gotta stop calling it that.

Charlie: Oh, sure thing, sheriff– I mean, mr. Earp– I mean– I mean, mr. Forrester.

Ridge: We don’t want anyone fanning the flames. This is just a fashion showdown with my father.

Donna: How long has this been going on? Please talk to me, eric. Tell me.

Eric: No, no, I’m sorry. You’re right. It’s not the first time. It’s been going on for a while.

[ Eric sighing ] What– what are you doing?

Donna: I am calling your doctor. Something tells me that he doesn’t know either. Hi, yes. Um, this– yeah, yeah, I’ll hold.

Eric: Now, donna, you can– you can call the doctor, you can do all you want. I mean, they can do all the testing they want, it’s not gonna change anything. I’m gonna live while I’m alive, all right, donna? I’m determined to do my– my grand finale. Who says you can’t go for bold

Finn: Mom, come on, can you not just–

Li: What is your fascination with this? You should be focused on your family.

Finn: Luna is family.

Li: Fine. You want to know what I have against luna and her mother, my little sister? Luna’s mother turned my life upside down years ago. I will never forgive her for that.

Rj: You know, you came to forrester just at the right time. Seriously, I was– I was doing everything I could to try and help him. It’s just… it’s overwhelming.

Luna: I know how much you care about your grandfather. You don’t want to see him lose the fashion challenge to your dad.

Rj: And we both know that his health isn’t doing great. I just– I don’t think my dad realizes just how much this fashion challenge means to him.

Brooke: I know you’re in a very difficult position. You love and respect your father, but you’re determined to beat him on the runway.

Ridge: Well, he’s making me do this. I mean, you see his designs. You know, the– the time and the effort that– there’s no stopping this runaway train.

Donna: Hey. I brought you a few things.

Eric: Oh, here, here.

Donna: No, no. You need to rest.

Eric: Yeah, yeah.

Donna: Tea and honey and water, and oh, look at this yummy green juice full of antioxidants and every vitamin and mineral that you could possibly think of. Yeah?

Eric: And this is for what? For what?

Donna: It’s– it’s healthy. I want you to be healthy.

Eric: Donna, I’m fine. Really, I’m fine.

Donna: Okay, clearly, you’re not fine, eric, okay? Here’s one of your pills. You don’t have to take it for about ten minutes, but there you go. I’ll open it for you.

Eric: Thank you. Look… I hate that you called the doctor. You didn’t have to call the doctor.

Donna: Eric, I had to call the doctor. I mean, he’s gonna be–

Eric: Here, here.

Donna: No, please just– just rest. Let me take care of you for once, okay? Please. Dr. Colby, thank you. Please come in. Thank you for, um, coming so quickly like that.

Colby: Of course. Eric.

Eric: Hello, doctor.

Colby: Tell me what’s going on. How are you feeling, eric?

Eric: I feel like you’re wasting your time.

Colby: Well, donna says that you’re coughing up blood. You’re only wasting time if you’re not honest with us, yourself. How long has this been going on?

Eric: Ah… couple of weeks.

Donna: What– what– what does this mean, doctor? I mean, why– why do we not have a diagnosis yet? I mean, clearly, his condition is getting worse and we need to know, doctor. We need– we need the truth.

Colby: Donna, I…

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Good morning, love. Thanks for letting me sleep in so late. I was up until about 3 a. m. dealing with that miserable PR crisis. You were dead asleep when I came to bed last night, so we didn’t get to end the night the way we usually do, but maybe we can start the day

that way. I wasn’t. Expecting to come face to face with Susan Banks, alive. You saw her? I just know. Must be such a huge weight off of your shoulders knowing that you aren’t a killer after all. I’m just so glad she made it. I spent so with guilt over what happened to her. Which I’m sure shocks you since you think I have no conscience that I’m a terrible person.

I don’t think that’s it. I never thought that. It was just, with everything that happened, or what I thought had happened,

I was just afraid to let you back into my life. But now, am.

I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry.

This whole thing has just got me so emotional. I’m, I’m so sorry. I know that you’re with Chloe. No, I’m not. Chloe’s moving back to New York with Phillip. She and I are over. But that doesn’t change anything between you and me, Sarah, I, my God, you tried to deprive me of being a father to my own child. You did everything in your power to keep the truth about my daughter from me.

And I regret that now. Maria

is, she is just as much a part of you as she is me, and depriving you of our beautiful baby. It was, it was, it was so terribly unfair. I know that now. I know I was wrong.

Well, I

guess we both know what it’s like to want something so much

that you’ll do anything to hold on to it.

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

Hey! Hello. Oh, hey! Hey! Oh my gosh, welcome back! Thank you, thank you. It’s good to be back. Ah, I heard that London was, uh, an adventure. Yes, yes. I still can’t believe all that happened. I mean, Susan Banks is still alive, which got my mom off the hook for murder, obviously. And not only that, my mom is doing really well now, mentally, in that they released her from Bayview.

That’s a lot to take in, right? Definitely. Yeah. Thank you. Well, um, now that your mom is free, is she going to be staying around Salem for a while? Um, she’s, I don’t think she’s made a decision yet. Uh, she just kind of wants to take a minute to catch her breath. Probably wise. Yeah, just hope that, uh… What?

What do you hope? Well, that just whatever she decides to do, it just gives her some sort of stability. You know, some peace of mind. Because after everything she’s been through the last couple of years, the last thing a mom needs is more drama.

I’ve wanted to do that for quite a while. Yeah, same here. Even though I just told my son that… My feelings for you were not romantic. I was telling Dr. Evans that my feelings for you were strictly platonic.

Well, we, we met at

the time,

right? Yeah, just at the time. Mm. So you were… You’re admitting to me that you shouldn’t have kept me in the dark about my daughter.

Yeah. Yes, I am. Sandra, it wasn’t, it wasn’t some random decision on my end. Yes, I, yes, I know that it was wrong, Mal. I, I do. But at the time, it felt completely justified. I, I mean… Charlie, you understand that, like No! No, Sarah, I don’t, because Look, I know I’ve been a screw up at times, far too many times, I’ve made some terrible decisions, but when we were together, every choice I made, good or bad, smart or stupid, I made because I loved you, and you You know that.

So how could you not know that I would also love our daughter with all my heart? I would be a good and loving father to that little girl, our little girl. Not only would I never place her in danger, I would protect her from danger with every cell of my being. Sarah, how could you not know that?

Susan Banks was being held captive by Edwin P. Crumb, her ex husband. Crumb, currently in Scotland Yard’s custody, claimed in his statement that shortly after the deadly car crash, which supposedly killed his ex wife, he received an unsolicited phone call from a person who then delivered Miss Banks to him.

Crumb denies acting in concert with this individual and claims not to know the individual’s identity. Well, Mr. Crumb, you poor stupid mook, you do speak the truth. Yes, sir. There’s no way you’d know who arranged that little reunion with B. J. DiMera’s mama. And even if Scotland Yard and Ray Fernandez and the Salem Keystone Cops put their collective pinheads together, I’d still never figure it out.

It was yours truly who accomplished that. What the hell did you accomplish, Clyde?

Chad, what’s going on? It’s nothing, I’m sorry. It’s not nothing, clearly. What’s, what, what did I do to make you pull away from me like that? It’s not you, it’s just me. I’m, I’m sorry, that sounds so cliche. Chad, it’s okay. You can tell me. What’s wrong?

It’s Abigail’s birthday today.

Oh, Chad, I’m so sorry. I forgot it was Abigail’s birthday today. That was thoughtless of me. Of course this day would be hard for you. Yeah. It’s, it’s been, um, much harder than I thought it would be. And, and what makes it even tougher is that it was about this time last year that we found out who, uh, took her from us.

That was Clyde Weston and I almost killed him and there is a part of me that still wishes I would have shot that son of a bitch when I had the chance.

Lucas, why don’t you just mosey along? Yeah, I’ll keep it moving. No problem. You’re the last person I want to cross paths with today anyway. Well, why’s that? You got another one of your Alcoholics Anonymous punch parties to host? Actually, it’s my niece Abigail’s birthday today. You remember Abigail, don’t you?

I mean, you must. You’re the one who murdered her in cold blood.

Yeah, my mom was worried, you know, when she got back from London, that they were gonna send her to Statesville or back to Bayview. But, uh, they discharged her. Which is great, but that just means that she had nowhere else to really go. Yeah, and I, I know you want to be there for her. I, I understand that. Yeah, but I can tell by the look on your face you’re not too thrilled about it.

Her staying with Wendy and me, I mean. Well, I, I have to admit that I am concerned. And so is your dad. I mean, why wouldn’t you be, given your history with my mom? But, okay, she really is doing better. I mean… She’s gotten treatment. She’s going to therapy. She seems committed to doing whatever it takes to get her life back on track.

They’re sending an OD patient into the ER. I have to go.

You know, we’ve got feelings that are more than platonic, I, um,

I’m thinking that maybe we should just, uh, Yeah, okay.

Say no more? I mean, it would be better if…

Okay, you’re right. You’re right. Just to put this… on hold. Until we get our lives back on track. Before we, uh, start. Something. Right? Right? Mm. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. We should, uh…

Just… Stay over there. Mm hmm.

Hey, Mr. Galvin, uh, you told the ER nurse that you took some pills. Tell me what exactly what they were just my regular meds, and I’m fine now. I don’t need to be here I’m not hurting anybody my concern is right now that you might be hurting yourself, okay? So we’re just gonna draw a little blood and see what’s going on with you, okay?

You’re not taking any of my blood, but I’m gonna take some of yours

Maybe maybe I should have known that in spite of all of your Screw ups as you call them That you would never actually put your own child in danger. But the truth is, I didn’t.

I shortchanged you and for that I am, I am so truly sorry. But right now, You’re shortchanging me if you’re not even going to at least try to see it from my perspective.

I didn’t, I didn’t want my daughter to grow up with a father that could end up in prison or dead and, and I could, I could never live with myself if something happened to you that affected our child. I had to protect her. Can you understand that? I suppose I can.

It’s just, when we were, the way I felt about you, Sarah, I, I just wanted you to be happy and to give you a good life and I, I can see now I got so desperate to make that happen that I, well I made the kind of terrible choices that, that caused me to lose you. The best thing that had ever happened to me, you know, the love of my life.

I loved you too, Xander.

I did.

Things were good between us. You had my whole heart. And you did make me happy. You… You made me so happy.

Don’t you know that walking away from you was the hardest thing that I have ever done?

Oh my God, what’s going on in here? Ah, I’m okay, it’s okay, it’s okay. A patient got paranoid while I was trying to draw his blood and grabbed his scalpel. Did he run off with it? No, I grabbed it from him, but not before he cut me. The cut’s not too deep though, he just missed the artery. Well, I’m sure the security will catch him.

Here, sit down and let me fix that up. God. Um, like,

um,

I know we’re both kind of disoriented right now. Okay, I’ll speak for myself, okay? Oh, God. Look, I just… I don’t know where my life’s headed right now. You know, here I am, I’m just staying with my grown son on his couch with his girlfriend, and I just… You know, I’ve got no money, and I don’t have any idea what kind of a job I could even get.

You know, the only work experience I have, well, let’s just say the only thing on my resume is, um, Mob Princess, and I’m not really interested in that line of work anymore. Yeah? I don’t know, maybe not knowing exactly who you are, it’s um, could be a clean start. Right? An opportunity to reinvent yourself.

Yeah. Yeah, I suppose. God, I don’t even know. I don’t have an idea as to what to do. All right, let’s, uh, let’s think for a second. Okay. Yeah. So, if you can do anything in the world, anything, what would it be? Hmm. Well, I do love to cook. There you go. And a lot of people love to eat. So, maybe you can find a way to feed people for a living.

Yeah. Maybe I could. Yeah. I’ll think about it. Yeah. What about you? If, um, if you could be anything in this world, what would

you be? So, I mean, I… I just have to wonder, even though I know that I did the very best I could to try to get them through some difficult times, was there, I mean, was there more that I could have done for my now adult children when they were kids to, to make life easier for them now? Kate, we both know by now that all we can do is our best.

And… The way that our children turn out sometimes is just in the hands of the gods. For lack of a better way to say that. But I think we can be optimistic. And we can just hope that they find their way. Yeah, I, yes, of course, I just… I guess I’m just feeling abandoned, you know, with Philip going off to New York, Rex is back in Chicago, Austin’s in Europe, and Lucas…

Oh, Lucas, my precious son, who had, who had so much promise.

Well, listen, Lucas, just for the record… I didn’t intend to kill Abigail Demare. You pathetic psycho. Why does it matter what the hell you intended to do? You went to the mansion with murder in your heart. You wanted, you wanted to murder another innocent woman, didn’t you? But that wasn’t personal. Belle Brady would have just been, you know, collateral damage because EJ made the big mistake of telling her my business and I had to send him a message.

You sick bastard. How do you live with yourself? How, how do you get through one day knowing all the pain and the suffering you caused? My niece is gone. She had her whole life ahead of her. How are you still alive, man? You don’t deserve that. How do you live with yourself?

Clyde Weston is locked up in Statesville where he belongs. And maybe it’s… Cold comfort, but at least you know that he can’t hurt you or anyone you love ever again. If I had killed him, I wouldn’t be here for my kids. Thomas and Charlotte who are my heart.

Chad, so many people love you. Need you.

And I hope you know I’m one of those people.

I’m sorry I pulled away.

It’s okay. You don’t need to apologize for that. Or for anything. Especially not today. I’m gonna, I’m

gonna go to, uh, Abby’s grave for, uh, a little while. Yeah, of course. I’ll come with you. Uh, Uh, I would rather you not.

I just, I just needed, I just needed to be me and the kids today. I hope that’s okay. Of course. I totally get it. I’ll see you later then? Yeah, I’ll see you later.

Well, you’ll have to forgive me if I don’t get all choked up over Chad’s loss. You see, him and his brother EJ? Not such upstanding citizens. It was Chad trying to kill me. And when I tried to return the favor by choking that little sumbitch, EJ put a bullet in me. And here you are, still alive, sucking all the oxygen out of the room.

And what, are you thinking you can change that, Lucas? I’d like to see you try. You don’t have the guts for that kind of thing. As I recall, you had your mind set on killing Orpheus and you wimped out. You just lost your nerve, didn’t you? I didn’t kill Orpheus because I thought that he killed my mother.

Turns out my mom was alive. But Abigail’s not coming back, is she? So I don’t have to show you the same mercy, do I? Do I? Do you think you’re scaring me, you little miss head? You couldn’t kill a stuffed deer with a cannon at five paces! And let me remind you, I got clout in here and on the outside, so I’d be really careful about who I threatened if I were you.

I don’t care what you say, I’m not scared of you. Well, you should be, because I don’t have to hurt you to hurt you, you know what I mean? And I’m guessing you wouldn’t want to be mourning yet another loved one.

Uh, security says the patient is no longer in the vicinity. I guess they didn’t catch him. Damn. Okay, well, you are good to go. Well, thank you. I guess I’ll go back to work. Uh, uh, uh, nice try. No. You know hospital policy. If you are a victim of an assault, you need to either be admitted or go home. I know. I’ve already missed all those days when I was in London.

Well, you’re gonna miss one more. Go home and get some rest. Go on. Go, go, go. Okay. I’m going. I’m going.

Well, you know, like we were talking before, um, I got a room at the Brady Pub, so I gotta figure out how to pay rent.

And I was talking to Kate and she seems pretty convinced that the Salem PD could use somebody with my skill set. Well, do you want to be a cop? I’m a cop, a consultant, I don’t know. I mean, I did go to the police academy before I enlisted. And a lot of people go from the military to law enforcement, but obviously I’m going to have to talk to Commissioner Hernandez to see what he thinks.

Okay, well make sure you don’t use me as a reference because I am not his favorite person. Well, if I get the opportunity to work with the Commissioner, I’ll try not to hold that against him.

If it’s any consolation, the moment that Bonnie and my mom found out that I was pregnant, they thought that I should tell you the baby was yours. In fact, my mom was very upset with me for keeping it from you. She has always been on your side. She’s always reminding me that whatever choices You did make.

You did love me. Maggie has a heart of gold. Yeah. Yeah, she does. And,

just so you know, Rex had nothing to do with the decision that I made. That was all me. I chose to keep you.

But now…

With Susan being alive, and seeing how affected you are by that.

I think that I’ve, I think that I’ve made it clear that that changes things for me.

Victoria is your daughter. You were there for her, and for me, the moment that she was born. Xander,

you were her father. And I want you to be a part of her life.

Hello? Yes, I’ll accept the call. Lucas, is everything alright? Yeah, Chad, everything’s okay. Um, I just, I know it’s Abigail’s birthday today, so I was just calling to check up on you, see how you’re doing. That’s nice of you, Lucas. Um, I appreciate that you remembered. Of course I did. You know, I wish I could be there with you and the kids today.

But, um, I just hope you’re around people who love you. You know? I mean, you do have a lot of people who love you. You know that, right, Chad? Yeah. No, yeah. Yeah, I do.

Hey, Mom. Hey! Oh my gosh, I’m so glad to see you. Bad time? No, no. Actually, I have a few minutes. Um, what’s with all the security downstairs? Crazy, I know. There was an incident with a patient. Actually, he assaulted Tripp. What? Oh my god! Is he okay? He is fine. It was just a minor cut, but still. I had to send him home.

He didn’t want to go, but it’s hospital policy. So, so, what about you? What are you doing here? Um… I, uh, well, I was hoping to take my mom to lunch. Oh, well, I would love that so much, but I can’t. I can’t take that long a break. We are swamped, and I’m already down one doctor. Oh, well. I guess today’s one of those days I’m gonna just keep hearing no.

What do you mean?

Today is Abigail’s birthday.

Um. I offered to go with Chad to visit her grave. But he told me he didn’t want me there.

Listen, Chad, I know you probably don’t want to hear this right now, but um, I ran into Clyde Weston before I called you, and it gave me a chance to tell him what a waste of a life I think he is. Okay, listen, Lucas,

I’m gonna say what Abigail would tell you if she were here. You need to get out of that place in one piece. Okay, so, so that Thomas and Charlotte could spend some more time with their Uncle Lucas. So, I, I, I need you to steer clear of Clyde Weston. Do you understand? He’s the one who should steer clear of me.

No, Lucas. Don’t do anything stupid. Listen man, I gotta go. My time’s up. You take care of yourself, okay Chad? You too.

So, um,

Yeah? Maybe, um, maybe once I get a job I can, I can take you to dinner? Oh, I’d like that. Mm. And I know that we, uh, Decided to hold off on anything but friendship for now, but I don’t think a hug would be crossing any boundaries. Do you? No. Hey, you

guys. Oh. What’s going on? Tripp, hey. I thought you were, you were gonna be at work. I was, but I, uh, I’m sorry, I didn’t know you’d still be here. Yeah, no, I was just, uh, just leaving. Yeah, um. Take care, Harris. Yeah, you too.

So, what did I miss?

Sarah, I’m just, I’m so happy we were able to, to work this out. I just, I mean, happy isn’t, doesn’t even describe how I feel right now. You know what, Wyatt?

Why don’t I go get our little girl and introduce her to her daddy?

I’m sorry. Oh, this is Justin. I have to take this. He’s representing me, so just give me a few minutes. I’m going to tell him that I’ve decided to share custody with you, and then we can figure out where we go from here. Hey, Justin. No, I’m, I’m so glad that you called. I, I wanted to talk to you. I think I’m going to change my mind.

Wait, what?

Uh huh. No, I understand. Mm hmm. Thank you.

Justin just told me that you filed for full custody. And that Sloane Peterson is going to make the case on your behalf that I am an unfit parent.

Sarah, listen to me. I was, I was very angry when I made that decision. To be fair, you were keeping Victoria from me. I couldn’t bear it. I thought you were being unreasonable. Oh, you thought that I was being unreasonable. Well, if you thought I was unreasonable before, you just wait till I get you into court.

We don’t have to go to court. We just agreed that we can share custody. We can work this out. The hell we can! We agreed to share custody before I had all of the information and you were going to try to take my daughter away from me. Well, if you want a fight, Xander, now you have a fight. Sarah, No, I have heard enough.

My God, I thought that you had changed. Sarah! No! If you have something to say, say it to your lawyer who can tell mine. Now get the hell out of here. I don’t want to see your face until I have to see it in court.

So?

See, this is exactly what I was worried about when Chad and I first started dating. That no one would ever be able to take Abigail’s place in his life. Sweetie, you know what I think? I think this is a very sad day for Chad. He was traumatized by Abigail’s death. I

think you need to be patient.

I know he loves you. I believe that.

But what I don’t believe, is that he’ll ever love me as much as he loved her. Abigail was the love of his life.

Happy birthday, my love.

You’re still the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on.

I know it’s been a while since you’ve been gone,

but I still miss you. I’ve ruined it. Of the day.

Um, I’m sorry. Tripp, where are my manners? I know I’m your mother, but I really, I should check with you before I have a friend stay over so long. A friend? Really? Heh. I bet you’re staying here at Good Power Salem for a month. Okay. All right. All right. I will admit, there is an attraction. And full disclosure, Harris and I might have dinner soon.

What? What? What, what, what is that look? It’s dinner, okay? What is it?

What just a patient, an addict came in, strung it on God knows what and I tried to help him and just got a little violent. Oh my God. It’s, it’s okay, it’s okay, I’m fine. Alright, alright, the cut isn’t too deep and I’m, I’m taking some antibiotics just to be sure. Good. Hope they caught the guy. Not yet.

I’m gonna go change. Just give me two seconds. I’ll be back. Hello?

Uh, Ava. Ava Vitale?

Yes. So nice to hear your voice. Uh, listen, a little birdie told me that your baby boy had an accident at work today. But, I think you should know It wasn’t no accident. What? Who is this? Well, uh, you’ll find out soon enough. Because you and me, we got a lot to talk about, Mama.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Rafe and Jada are in Rafe’s office where Rafe is reading Shawn’s letter of resignation. They talk about being surprised as Jada asks what Shawn is going to do now. Rafe states that Shawn is leaving town to be closer to his parents and there’s a great rehab facility out there. Jada says at least Shawn will get the help he needs. Rafe asks what she’s thinking. Jada knows Shawn promised it was just a one night stand with her sister and that it would never happen again, but she still can’t help but feel relieved that they will be very far apart from each other.

Talia finds Belle outside the Brady Pub and assures her that she’ll never have to worry about her dropping in on Shawn ever again. Belle responds that she knows, because Shawn just left town.

Chad sits in the park as he looks at he and Abigail’s wedding photo on his phone and wishes her a happy birthday, calling her still the most beautiful woman he’s ever laid his eyes on. Chad knows it’s been awhile since she’s been gone but he still misses her every day. Chad states that she’s still with him in his heart. Chad says they have a good birthday planned for her as Julie is going to meet him at the cemetery with the kids and he brought her flowers while the kids made a few things. Chad says they will remember the good times and how happy she made them all and how grateful they were for the time they had with her. Chad argues that they should’ve had so much more time and he’s tried to get rid of this anger because he knows that’s what she wants, but he can’t, because every time he thinks about finding her that night, he thinks about how she was taken from them. Chad states that when he thinks about Clyde Weston and what he did to them, he questions how that son of a bitch can live with himself.

Ava then gets a call from an unknown number. She answers and it’s Clyde, who informs her that a little birdie told him that Tripp had an accident at work today but he thinks she should know that it was no accident. Ava questions who this is. Clyde responds that she’ll find out soon enough because they have a lot to talk about. Ava questions why he attacked her son. Clyde says she misunderstood as he wasn’t able to do the deed himself since he’s locked up. Clyde repeats that they need to talk in person so he invites Ava to the prison and tells her to ask to see Clyde Weston. Ava questions why he would attack her son. Clyde responds that he will await her arrival, when all will be revealed and then hangs up. Tripp comes back out and questions where Ava is going. Ava responds that she has to take care of something and she’ll be back.

Talia asks Belle about Shawn leaving town and says she had no idea. Belle clarifies that they are still together and that Shawn just went to spend time with his parents and get the help he needs. Talia questions her not going with him. Belle says it’s none of her business but confirms that she’s staying in Salem. Belle then asks Talia to just stay away from her.

Rafe tells Jada that he knows how upsetting Talia and Shawn sleeping together was for Jada. Jada says Belle is the one really going through it. Rafe blames the alcohol for clouding their judgment but says Shawn realizes he has a problem and is going to get the help he needs. Rafe adds that in the mean time, he’s going to have to find Jada a new partner and since they are understaffed, he’s going to have to hire someone new. Harris then arrives and asks if Rafe has a moment.

Kate and Marlena sit together at the Pub. Kate asks if Belle is okay since she saw her earlier and she seemed off. Kate knows she and Shawn were having problems but she thought Marlena said he was doing okay and that Belle was encouraged. Marlena confirms that she was but then things went from bad to worse and it makes her sad, because Belle has supported and stood by Shawn during his drinking and his depression over his father and grandfather. Marlena then reveals that Shawn cheated on Belle with Talia Hunter.

Belle tells Talia that she doesn’t blame her entirely for what happened as she knows it’s on Shawn, but she knows she can understand why she doesn’t want to be around her. Belle acknowledges that it will be hard to avoid each other, so she suggests they just agree to steer clear of each other forever.

Ava goes to the prison and meets Clyde, asking what the hell is going on. Clyde says it’s a pleasure to meet her. Ava asks why he had her son attacked. Clyde responds that it’s because Ava screwed up his plans. Clyde explains that he’s trying to build a business empire from in prison and they were all but ready to launch when Ava nearly destroyed the entire operation. Ava asks how she did that. Clyde states that he couldn’t run a business from in prison so he needed a partner on the outside and the partner was a less than willing participant, but he found the means to force him to do his bidding until Ava stole his leverage. Ava questions what he’s talking about. Clyde responds that the partner he’s talking about is EJ DiMera.

EJ sits at home reading the article on Susan’s return until Chad arrives. EJ asks what brings him by. Chad explains that Thomas and Charlotte wanted to see Rachel and he thought it would be good for them to have a play date as they just came from Abigail’s grave. EJ acknowledges it as Abigail’s birthday. Chad is surprised he remembered. EJ responds that she was his sister in law and he misses her too.

Rafe asks what he can do for Harris. Harris responds that he was hoping to have a word with him and his assistant said now might be a good time, but he doesn’t mean to interrupt. Jada says she was just about to go grab lunch and exits. Rafe asks Harris what’s up. Harris admits he’s a bit reluctant given the circumstances and recent history. Harris then decides he thinks this is a mistake but Rafe stops him and asks what’s on his mind. Harris tells him he’s here because he needs a job.

Chad tells EJ that he still can’t believe the news about Susan and says EJ must be so happy and relieved. EJ confirms that he is and just wishes Susan could’ve stayed, but she went back to Memphis. Chad envies him since Susan may have gone home, but she’s just a flight away. EJ wishes that was the case with Abigail as he knows today is especially difficult on her birthday. Chad suggests they focus on the good news that EJ got his mom back and hugs him. EJ doesn’t think he’ll ever forget the moment that Harris Michaels brought Susan through those doors.

Rafe questions Harris needing a job and asks if he means here which Harris confirms. Harris knows he may not have experience with law enforcement, but Kate mentioned that the training skills he does have might could be of value to Rafe. Rafe asks if he means training in the Navy. Harris explains that he went to the police academy before the military. Rafe is sure he has quite the skillset and brings up how Harris worked for Megan Hathaway and kidnapped John and Steve. Harris says that’s not what he meant by being qualified. Harris thanks Rafe for his time and goes to leave but Rafe questions why he’s rushing off so fast when he didn’t say no.

Belle asks Talia if they understand that they are going to do everything they can to stay as far away from each other as possible. Belle then walks away. Talia starts crying as Jada approaches and asks if she’s okay. Talia states that Belle has every right to hate her. Jada argues that she has no right to be cruel to her. Jada offers to go talk to Belle but Talia asks her not to because she doesn’t want to cause more trouble and asks her to just leave it. Jada tells Talia that Shawn was complicit in what he did and Belle is going to have to realize that Talia didn’t mean to hurt her. Jada insists that this will get better and easier in time. Talia responds that she knows it will, because she won’t be here.

Wendy comes home to Tripp and says she didn’t expect him to be there. Tripp asks how it went at the unemployment office. Wendy says she filed her claim and then got out of there, calling it the worst afternoon which is why he’s a sight for sore eyes. Tripp says the same after the day he had as they kiss. Wendy questions him being home instead of work. Tripp says he got out of there. Wendy asks about Ava coming back. Tripp hopes it won’t be soon but Wendy is not reassured. Tripp admits he doesn’t know where Ava is but she left in a hurry. Wendy asks if everything is okay. Tripp says that Ava did seem rattled as she said she had to take care of something.

Ava questions what Clyde is talking about in regards to leverage. Clyde reveals that he had Susan on ice in London, so Ava realizes it was Clyde that handed Susan over to Edmund Crumb. Ava questions how he did it from in prison. Clyde explains that an associate of his just happened upon an injured Susan right after the crash and it wasn’t difficult to find Edmund, so he just had her shipped on over. Ava questions him just sitting on her for a year. Clyde admits that finding investors for his business was more difficult than expected but Edmund had no problem keeping Susan under wraps until he had everything lined up, then he was going to use Susan to force EJ to run his business. Ava asks why EJ. Clyde tells her that he and EJ did business together before and last time he was out, he pitched working together again but EJ shot him down, so he found the incentive to force his hand until Ava stole his leverage. Ava says she rescued Susan and questions him trying to kill her son because she accidentally messed up his plan. Clyde clarifies that he didn’t try to kill Tripp and that it was just a warning. Clyde declares that he needs someone to replace EJ and that’s going to be Ava.

Jada and Talia go in to the Brady Pub. Jada asks Talia to tell her everything and asks what she meant by saying she’s not going to be here. Talia responds that she was thinking it’s probably best to go back to California. Jada argues that she’s settled here with a great job at the hospital. Talia says she’s grateful to Kayla for setting that up for her but she still has connections from Stamford and graduated top of her class. Jada encourages Talia not to let Belle run her out of town, arguing that she deserves to be here just as much. Talia is not so sure about that.

Rafe tells Harris that he was just giving him a hard time and says he’s going to have to be able to take that around here. Rafe admits Harris would be an invaluable asset to Salem PD, especially since they are severely understaffed. Harris asks if that means he’s hired. Rafe admits he has to run it by the mayor first, especially since it would be an unorthodox hire, and it might put him back in the headlines. Rafe says as long as the mayor doesn’t have a problem with it, he welcomes Harris to Salem PD as they shake hands.

Chad guesses they are lucky that Harris Michaels blew in to town. EJ supposes that’s true, but says none of this would’ve happened if Ava hadn’t remembered seeing Susan escape the car before it exploded. EJ hates to admit it, but he also has Ava to thank for bringing his mother home to him. Chad jokes about EJ having to eat crow and asks if EJ is actually turning over a new leaf and if he and Ava are square. EJ assures he won’t do anything drastic but he wouldn’t say they are square. EJ states that Ava may have brought Susan back to him, but she’s also responsible for her disappearing in the first place. EJ declares that he lost a year with Susan and he won’t forgive Ava for that.

Ava questions Clyde wanting her to run his new drug empire. Clyde points out that she used to run the Philly mob. Ava calls that a long time ago and says she’s starting over by getting a legitimate job. Clyde says he can get her one as he has connections at the Bistro in the town square. Clyde notes that it will be a front but she’ll look the part and none of her loved ones will know. Ava refuses to do it. Clyde expected her to put up a fight which is why he sent his friend to visit Tripp as a warning. Clyde warns Ava that if she doesn’t do what he asks, then her son’s a dead man.

Tripp tells Wendy that it might be about Harris Michaels since he was there when he came home and they were a little more than friendly. Wendy asks if he thinks something is going on between them. Tripp notes that Ava tried to deny it but says they are planning to have dinner. Wendy talks about the best relationships starting out as friendships like them. They kiss until Wendy notices Tripp’s bandage and questions what happened. Tripp admits he was attacked at work by a patient. Wendy questions not hearing a word about this. Tripp calls it not a big deal. Wendy argues that he got stabbed while Tripp calls it a minor cut. Wendy asks if the guy is facing charges after being arrested but Tripp reveals that he got away. Wendy worries that he’s still somewhere out there and could come back. Tripp assures that he won’t and that it was just some junkie that went nuts and it’s not like he was out to kill him…

Ava questions if she doesn’t agree to help Clyde. Clyde says from his perspective, it looks like she’s trapped. Ava calls that interesting coming from a guy in prison. Clyde thinks he’s proved that he can get to anyone on the outside and his friends would be too happy to visit Tripp on his behalf again. Ava guesses she doesn’t have a choice if she wants to keep her son safe, then she has to run Clyde’s business. Clyde believes she finally gets it. Clyde warns Ava to keep her mouth shut about their arrangement which he doesn’t think should be a problem as she strikes him as someone really good at keeping secrets. Clyde believes this is the beginning of a very profitable friendship.

Harris tells Rafe that he really appreciates this and maybe there’s still a chance he can get a confession from EJ now that he’s working for the Salem PD in an official capacity. Rafe admits that thought crossed his mind but reveals he has something else in mind for Harris.

Jada insists that Talia belongs to be here but she disagrees. Talia asks how she’s supposed to have a life here when she works at the hospital with Belle’s mother. Talia says not to even get her started with Chanel as she thought that would be something but now seeing her with Johnny hurts way too much. Talia calls Salem a failed experiment for her. Jada knows she had a lot of disappointment but she’s still here and she loves her. Talia says she loves her too, but this isn’t just spur of the moment as she’s been thinking about it for awhile now. Talia asks Jada not to try to talk her out of leaving because it’s something she really needs to do. Talia then heads to their room to go pack her bags while Jada holds back tears. Rafe arrives and joins Jada. Rafe knows it’s been hard for her but Talia’s grown up a lot in the last few months, so if she says it’s time to go, then he believes her. Rafe adds that it’s not necessarily forever and maybe she’ll come back. Talia comes back with her bag packed and confirms she booked the last seat on the last flight to California tonight. Rafe hugs her and says they will miss her but he can’t blame her leaving before the Midwestern winter. Rafe offers a ride to the airport but Talia says she has a car coming. Jada asks if she has everything. Talia thinks so but knows if she forgets anything, Jada will mail it to her. Jada jokes that their mom would buy her new things anyway. Jada cries that she’s going to miss her so much and they hug. Jada tells Talia to be safe and she loves her as Talia then exits the Pub. Rafe hugs Jada as she cries.

Wendy looks on her laptop that her unemployment was approved but in order for her benefits to continue, she will need to show meaningful proof that she’s actively searching for a new job. Tripp suggests it could be a bonding opportunity with Ava since she’s looking for a job too.

Harris finds Ava in the town square and asks if she’s okay. Ava says she’s fine. Harris then informs her that he just got a job at the Salem PD. Ava is surprised Rafe hired him but calls that great. Harris admits he couldn’t believe it and reveals that Rafe has already assigned him his first case, as he wants him to find the person who delivered Susan to Edmund Crumb.

Chad tells EJ that he’s going to round up the kids for ice cream for Abigail’s birthday. EJ says his heart breaks for Chad and he may not want to hear this, but EJ wishes he killed Clyde when he had the chance, especially when he’s around Chad’s children after their mother was cruelly taken away from them. Chad responds that he doesn’t mind hearing that because he’s often consumed with anger. EJ calls it a shame that Belle and Shawn showed up last year before they had a chance to take Clyde out as it would’ve been quite fun watching him bleed out in the cemetery.

Clyde looks over the article on Susan’s return and declares that it looks like this is going to work out after all as he laughs.

Update written by Joseph

Chad sits at home as Stephanie walks in and thanks him for letting her sleep in as she was up until 3 AM with a PR crisis. Stephanie adds that Chad was dead asleep when she got home so they didn’t get to end the night like they usually do. Stephanie suggests they can start the day that way instead and goes to kiss Chad but he pulls away.

At the Kiriakis Mansion, Sarah tells Xander that she wasn’t expecting to come face to face with Susan Banks, alive. Sarah says it must be such a huge weight off Xander’s shoulders to know he’s not a killer after all. Xander admits he’s so glad she made it as he spent so many sleepless nights racked with guilt over what happened to her. Xander acknowledges that Sarah thinks he’s a horrible person but Sarah says she never thought that. Sarah says it was just everything that she thought happened that made her scared to let him back in to her life, but now here he is. They get close but Sarah apologizes and says this whole thing has gotten her emotional but she knows he’s with Chloe. Xander then reveals that he’s not because Chloe is moving to New York with Philip, so they are over. Xander declares that it doesn’t change anything between them because Sarah tried to deprive him from his own daughter and did everything to keep the truth from him. Sarah admits she regrets that and acknowledges that Victoria is just as much his and that depriving him of his daughter was terribly unfair. Sarah knows that she was wrong.

Ava guesses her and Harris both know what it’s like to want something so much that they’ll do anything to hold onto it. Harris takes Ava’s hand and they kiss. Ava then stops and questions what the hell they are doing.

Clyde Weston is sitting in prison with a tablet, reading the article about Susan Banks being alive.

At the hospital, Tripp greets Kayla, who welcomes him back. Kayla mentions hearing he had an adventure in London. Tripp still can’t believe all that happened with Susan being alive and getting Ava off the hook for murder. Tripp adds that Ava is now doing really well mentally and they released her from Bayview. Tripp calls it a lot to take in. Kayla asks if Ava is staying around Salem now. Tripp states that she hasn’t made a decision yet but he hopes whatever she decides to do gives her stability and peace of mind because the last thing she needs is more drama.

Harris tells Ava that he’s wanted to kiss her for quite awhile. Ava admits she has too, even though she just told Tripp that her feelings for Harris were not romantic. Harris relates to telling Marlena the same. Ava guesses they meant it at the time. Harris agrees and they continue kissing.

Xander questions Sarah admitting to him that she shouldn’t have kept him in the dark about his daughter. Sarah explains that it wasn’t a random decision. Sarah repeats that she knows it was wrong now, but at the time, it felt completely justified. Sarah thinks Xander can understand that but he says he doesn’t. Xander knows he’s been a screw up many times and made terrible decisions, but when they were together, every choice he made was because he loved her. Xander questions how she couldn’t know that he would also love their daughter with all his heart and be a good, loving father. Xander adds that he would never place Victoria in danger and would protect her with every cell of his being. Xander asks how Sarah could not know that.

Clyde reads about Susan being held captive by her ex-husband Edmund Crumb and that Edmund claimed in his statement that he received an unsolicited phone call after the crash, who then delivered Susan to him, and that Edmund claimed not to know the man’s identity. Clyde remarks that Edmund does speak the truth because there’s no way he would know who arranged his reunion with Susan. Clyde adds that even if Rafe and the cops put their heads together, they’ll still never figure out that it was him who accomplished that. Lucas then enters the prison waiting area and questions what the hell he accomplished.

Stephanie asks Chad what’s going on. Chad claims it’s nothing and apologizes. Stephanie argues that it’s clearly nothing and ask what she did to make him pull away like that. Chad responds that it’s not her, it’s him and apologizes for sounding cliche. Stephanie tells him that it’s okay and he can tell her what’s wrong. Chad then informs her that it’s Abigail’s birthday today. Stephanie tells him that she’s so sorry as she forgot and calls it thoughtless of her. Stephanie understands the day would be hard for him. Chad admits it’s been much harder than he thought it would be and that it was around this time last year that they found out it was Clyde Weston who took Abigail from them. Chad remarks that he almost killed Clyde and part of him wishes he would’ve shot him when he had the chance.

Clyde tells Lucas to keep moving. Lucas says he will with no problem because Clyde is the last person he wants to run in to today because it’s his niece Abigail’s birthday today. Lucas asks if Clyde remembers Abigail since he’s the one who murdered her in cold blood.

Tripp explains to Kayla how Ava got discharged but she had nowhere to go. Kayla understands he wants to be there for her. Tripp knows Kayla is not too thrilled about Ava staying with he and Wendy. Kayla admits that she is concerned and so is Steve. Tripp understands given their history with Ava, but assures that Ava is really doing better, has gotten treatment, and is going to therapy. Tripp declares that Ava seems committed to doing whatever it takes to get her life back on track. Tripp then gets paged to the emergency room and walks away.

Ava tells Harris that she’s been through a lot which has made them close. Ava states that even thought they both admitted to having feelings for each other, she’s having second thoughts. Harris agrees that they can put this on hold until they get their lives back on track, before they start something.

Tripp checks on the patient in the ER, Mr. Galvan, who tells him that he just took his regular meds and now he’s fine so he doesn’t need to be here. Tripp is concerned that the man may be hurting himself so he wants to take some blood and get him checked out. The man then pulls a scalpel out and declares that Tripp is not taking his blood, but he’s going to take some of his.

Sarah tells Xander that maybe she should’ve known that in spite of all of his screw ups, he would never actually put his own child in danger, but she didn’t. Sarah admits that she shortchanged him and says she’s truly sorry for that. Sarah feels that Xander is now shortchanging her if he’s not going to at least try to see it from her perspective. Sarah argues that she didn’t want her daughter to grow up with a father who could end up in prison or dead and she could never live with herself if something happened to him that affected their child. Sarah cries that she had to protect her and asks if he can understand that. Xander supposes that he can, but says he just wanted her to be happy and to give her a good life. Xander sees now that he got so desperate to make that happen that he made the terrible choices that caused him to lose the best thing to ever happen to him and the love of his life. Sarah insists that she loved him too and that when things were good between them, he had her whole heart. Sarah adds that he did make her so happy and calls walking away from him the hardest thing she’s ever done.

Kayla goes to the ER where Tripp is holding a towel over his arm and questions what’s going on. Tripp informs her that the patient got paranoid when he tried to take his blood and pulled out a scalpel before taking off. Tripp states that he got cut but it’s not too deep and just missed the artery. Kayla is sure security will catch the guy and tells Tripp to let her fix it up.

Ava tells Harris that she knows they are both kind of disoriented right now but she just doesn’t know where her life is headed right now. Ava points out that she’s staying with her grown son and his girlfriend on their couch, has no money, and doesn’t even know what kind of job she could get. Ava jokes that her only experience is a mob princess and she’s not interested in that kind of work anymore. Harris suggests not knowing exactly who she is could be a clean start and opportunity to reinvent herself. Ava says she has no idea what to do. Harris decides they can think for a second as they sit together. Harris asks Ava if she could do anything in the world, what would it be? Ava responds that she does love to cook so Harris suggests she could find a way to feed people for a living. Ava agrees to think about it, then asks what Harris would be if he could be anything.

Kate and Marlena sit together at the Brady Pub. Kate talks about doing her best to get her kids through the toughest times, but wonders if there’s more she could’ve done to make their lives easier now. Marlena encourages that all they can do is their best and the way their children turn out is up to the hands of God. Marlena declares that they can just hope they find their way. Kate guesses she’s just feeling abandoned with Philip going off to New York, Rex back in Chicago, Austin in Europe, and then Lucas. Kate talks about how Lucas had so much promise.

Clyde tells Lucas that he didn’t intend to kill Abigail. Lucas calls him a pathetic psycho and asks why it matters what he intended to do. Lucas argues that Clyde went to the DiMera Mansion with murder in his heart. Clyde argues that Belle just would’ve been collateral damage because he had to send EJ a message. Lucas calls him a sick bastard and asks how he lives with himself, knowing all the pain and suffering he caused. Lucas states that Clyde doesn’t deserve to be alive.

Stephanie reminds Chad that Clyde is locked up in prison where he belongs, so he can’t hurt him or anyone else he loves ever again. Chad points out that if he had killed Clyde, he wouldn’t be here for his kids. Stephanie adds that so many people love and need Chad. Stephanie hopes he knows that she’s one of those people as she hugs him. Chad apologizes for pulling away. Stephanie says it’s okay and he doesn’t need to apologize, especially not today. Chad decides he’s going to go to Abigail’s grave for a little while. Stephanie offers to go with him but Chad says he’d rather her not. Chad explains that he just needs it to be him and the kids today, so he hopes that’s okay. Stephanie assures that she totally gets it and she’ll see him later. Chad then exits the apartment.

Clyde tells Lucas that he won’t get all choked up for Chad’s loss since he and EJ are not so upstanding citizens. Clyde brings up that it was Chad that tried to kill him and then when he choked him back, EJ put a bullet in him. Lucas remarks that Clyde’s still here sucking up all the oxygen out of the room. Clyde asks if Lucas thinks he can change that and says he’d like to see him try, arguing that Lucas doesn’t have the guts. Clyde mocks Lucas losing his nerve when he wanted to kill Orpheus. Lucas argues that was because he thought Orpheus killed Kate but she turned out to be alive while Abigail’s not coming back. Clyde laughs at Lucas and says he couldn’t kill a stuffed deer. Clyde reminds Lucas that he has clout in prison and outside, so he warns him to be careful about who he threatens. Lucas doesn’t care and says he’s not scared of him. Clyde warns Lucas that he should be, because he doesn’t have to hurt him to hurt him. Clyde guesses that Lucas doesn’t want to be mourning another loved one as he then exits the room.

Kayla gets a text from security that they lost the patient who stabbed Tripp. Kayla then tells Tripp that he’s good to go. Tripp responds that he’s going to go back to work but Kayla reminds him that hospital policy says after being assaulted, he must be either be admitted into the hospital or go home. Tripp argues that he already missed all those days while in London. Kayla decides he’s going to miss one more and tells him to get going, so Tripp then exits.

Harris tells Ava that he’s got a room at the Brady Pub so he has to figure out how to pay rent. Harris mentions that Kate seemed pretty convinced that ths Salem police department could use him. Ava questions him wanting to be a cop. Harris says he did go to the police academy before enlisting in the military, but he’d have to talk to Rafe. Ava jokes that she can’t be a reference because she is not Rafe’s favorite person. Harris responds that he’ll try not to hold that against him.

Sarah tells Xander that the moment Bonnie and Maggie found out she was pregnant, they thought she should tell Xander that the baby was his and that Maggie was very upset with her for keeping it from him. Sarah talks about Maggie always being on Xander’s side and always reminding her that he did love her. Xander states that Maggie has a heart of gold. Sarah adds that Rex had nothing to do with her decision and it was all her, as she chose to keep Xander’s child from him. Sarah declares that now Susan is alive and she sees how affected Xander is by that, she thinks she’s made it clear that changes things for her. Sarah states that Victoria is Xander’s daughter and he was there for them the moment she was born. Sarah tells Xander that he is Victoria’s father and she wants him to be a part of her life.

Chad sits in the park with flowers when he gets a call from prison and it’s Lucas. Chad asks him if everything is alright. Lucas responds that it’s okay but he knows it’s Abigail’s birthday so he was calling to check on him. Chad says that’s nice of him and he appreciates that he remembered. Lucas wishes he could be there with Chad and the kids today. Lucas hopes Chad is around people who love him, assuring that he does have a lot of people who love him.

Stephanie goes to the hospital to see Kayla. Kayla hugs her and says she’s so glad to see her. Stephanie asks about all the security. Kayla says there was an incident with a patient who assaulted Tripp. Kayla notes that it was a minor cut but she still had to send him home. Kayla then asks what Stephanie is doing here. Stephanie says she wanted to take her to lunch but Kayla says she can’t take that long of a break since they are swamped and are already down a doctor. Stephanie remarks that it’s just one of those days where she’s going to keep hearing no. Kayla questions what she means. Stephanie then informs Kayla that today is Abigail’s birthday and she offered to go with Chad to visit her grave, but he told her that he didn’t want her there.

Lucas tells Chad that he ran in to Clyde Weston and he told him what a waste of life he thinks he is. Chad warns Lucas that he needs to get out of there in one piece so Thomas and Charlotte can spend more time with their Uncle Lucas, so he needs to steer clear of Clyde Weston. Lucas remarks that Clyde is the one that should steer clear of him. Chad tells Lucas not to do anything stupid. Lucas says he has to go as his time is up and tells Chad to take care of himself as they hang up. Chad then looks at a photo of Abigail on his phone.

Harris tells Ava that maybe once he gets a job, he can take her to dinner. Ava admits she would like that. Ava knows they decided to hold off on anything but friendship, but she doesn’t think a hug would cross any boundaries, so they hug until Tripp comes home and asks what’s going on. Ava thought he was going to be at work. Tripp says he was and apologizes as he didn’t know Harris would still be there. Harris says he was just leaving so Ava tells him to take care as he then exits. Tripp asks Ava what he missed.

Xander tells Sarah that he’s so happy they were able to work this out. Sarah suggests she go get their daughter to introduce her to her daddy. Sarah then gets a call from Justin and tells Xander that she will tell him they’ve decided to share custody and then they will figure out where to go from there. Sarah answers the call and is taken aback by what Justin tells her. Sarah hangs up and then turns to Xander to inform him that Justin just told her that Xander filed for full custody and that Sloan was going to make the case that she’s an unfit parent. Xander tells her that he was very angry when he made that decision since she was keeping Victoria from him and he thought she was being unreasonable. Sarah tells him to just wait until she gets him in court. Xander argues tha they can work this out but Sarah declares that now he has a fight. Sarah says she’s heard enough and she thought he changed. Sarah tells Xander to talk to his lawyer and get out because she doesn’t want to see his face until she has to see him in court. Sarah then storms out.

Stephanie tells Kayla that this is what she was worried about when she and Chad first started dating, knowing she could never take Abigail’s place in his life. Kayla calls just a very sad day in Chad’s life and encourages her to be patient because she knows Chad loves her. Stephanie declares that she believes that, but she doesn’t believe Chad will ever love her as much as he loved Abigail because she was the love of his life.

Chad looks at he and Abigail’s wedding photo on his phone and wishes her a happy birthday, calling her still the most beautiful woman he’s ever laid his eyes on. Chad knows it’s been awhile since she’s been gone but he still misses her every day.

Ava jokes with Tripp about having to check with him before having a friend over. Ava admits there is an attraction and they might have dinner soon. Ava then questions what happened to Tripp’s arm. Tripp says it’s nothing and explains that a patient got a little violent but he’s fine. Tripp adds that the cut isn’t deep and he’s taking antibiotics just to be sure. Ava hopes they caught the guy but Tripp says not yet. Ava hugs him and then Tripp goes to change clothes. Ava then gets a call from an unknown number. She answers and it’s Clyde, who informs her that a little birdie told him that Tripp had an accident at work today but he thinks she should know that it was no accident. Ava questions who this is. Clyde responds that she’ll find out soon enough because they have a lot to talk about.

Interview with Showrunner/creator/writer/EP George R. Olson of “SurrealEstate” on Syfy by Suzanne 10/16/23

It was really fun to speak with George about such an entertaining show. I’ve enjoyed “SurrealEstate” since the first episode because it has interesting stories of drama and horror, with a lot of humor and a good cast.

You don’t want to miss this season, which started October 4th on Syfy. It airs Wednesdays on Syfy, but you can also watch it on their website for free and on HULU the next day.

George R. Olson

creator, showrunner, and executive producer

George Olson is a recovering advertising executive, having spent most of his career as creative director, partner and chief creative officer at one of Colorado’s largest advertising agencies. Several years ago, seeking the dangerous head rush of writing something longer than thirty seconds, George began writing for film.

One of his first efforts, a bio-pic of Nikola Tesla, won a screenwriting competition and attracted the attention of director Barry Sonnenfeld, who developed the script with him. He wrote a short film, KILLING KEVIN, which was an official selection at 18 international film festivals. Another one of his original screenplays, WHITEFISH, won another competition and he developed that script with actor/director John Turturro. Since then, George has written a number of features including MASTER RACE, the story of Jesse Owens at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, with Anthony Mackie attached to star.

Along the way, George began writing for television and has developed a number of original pilots including BITTERROOT, which he sold as a pitch to USA Network. Several of George’s original spec pilots are in various stages of development around town, including POISON COUNTY which he is developing with Mark Burnett and MGM Television. MGM also hired him to create and write the pilot for GODSPEED, a one-hour drama set in the world of NASCAR.  He has adapted his one-hour pilot FIRST PERSON SHOOTER with e-One into a made-for-TV film for Crackle. George sold his original spec pilot THE NATURE OF YOUR EMERGENCY to Keshet Studios, and sold his pitch for RUTHLESS to CBS Studios and developed the pilot for the CW Network.  Most recently, George’s original pilot SURREAL ESTATE was ordered to series by SYFY, with George serving as Showrunner and Executive Producer.

Splitting his time between Colorado, Los Angeles, Canada, features and television, George has no outside interests that he is aware of.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Daniel: Lucy would like to know if you could stop and pick up some of those brownies from crimson lights and bring them back on the plane to lisbon.

Heather: Would she? Uh, it’s going to be morning when I land there?

Daniel: Well, then I guess it’s brownies for breakfast. I’ll tell her you said yes.

Heather: Okay. So, I guess I’ll be doing a brownie run before I head to the airport. But when I get back to portugal, it shouldn’t take us too long to pack what we need.

Daniel: Well, it might not take you that long. Our daughter on the other hand.

Heather: Yes. Uh, it will be very difficult to convince lucy she doesn’t need to bring every single book, stuffed animal, every single t-shirt. But I can just ship anything she wants later. You know, once we’re settled here.

Daniel: What are you gonna do with your place? Do you have to rent it out?

Heather: Well, my dad really likes it there. So, I’m thinking he’ll want to move into my apartment for now. And he’s been in a hotel the whole time. I feel like he’ll really appreciate an actual home for a change.

Daniel: That’s good. It’s smart. You’ll have somebody to keep an eye on the place while you figure out what to do with it.

Heather: Although, I haven’t asked him lately how it’s going with christine.

Daniel: Are they getting along?

Heather: I don’t know. I’ve stayed out of it.

Daniel: Probably smart.

Heather: Mm-hmm. Anyway…

Daniel: You know, when you come back to genoa city, I might have a place of my own.

Heather: You’re looking for an apartment.

Daniel: I am. I have been keeping an eye on the listings, seeing if there’s anything I might want to rent or possibly buy.

Heather: So, you’re really settling back here.

Daniel: Yeah. I love the athletic club.

Heather: Mint on the pillow every night.

Daniel: Also, can’t beat the room service. But I don’t know, I just I– I feel like I need something more permanent, especially with lucy. You know, when she’s here, I’d like for her to have a space of her own. A room where she can put some of those books, put some of those stuffed animals.

Heather: Yeah, that sounds great. I hate to ask because you’ve already offered to organize lucy’s school, but, uh, when you’re out there looking at real estate…

Daniel: You want me to keep an eye out for you too?

Heather: Yeah. If you wouldn’t mind.

Daniel: It’s not a problem at all.

Heather: Okay. So, just a rental for now. Something that works for lucy and me.

Lily: Hi. Sorry. Did I hear? Are you moving back to genoa city?

Nikki: All right, claire. I think that should do it. Once you finish up those last few things, you can go home. First day for you.

Claire: It’s been wonderful. Thank you, nikki.

Victoria: I’m sorry to interrupt.

Nikki: Oh, no, it’s fine. I want you to meet my new assistant, claire grace.

Victoria: Oh, nice to meet you, claire.

Claire: It’s an honor to meet you, miss newman. I’ve followed your career. Everything you’ve accomplished, it’s so impressive. Brash and sassy, your brainchild is… sorry. Fangirling in the office is probably frowned upon.

Victoria: Uh, but doing your research is always a good thing.

Claire: I’m just– I’m so impressed by everything you’ve done here at your family company. I met your father earlier. He must be so proud.

Victor: All right. Your turn.

[ Nick grunting ]

[ Nick grunting louder ] Boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. Are you pissed off with someone or what?

Nick: I was just blowing off some steam.

Victor: Uh-huh. Now, usually, you go to– to the athletic club. What are you doing here?

Nick: It’s just, uh, old habits, dad. Yeah, I saw adam earlier. He said you confused the two of us. You called him nicholas.

Victor: Nonsense.

Nick: Well, why would he lie? I mean, it’s adam, but still.

Victor: I don’t know. He misheard me.

Nick: All right, cool. It’s just a slip-up. No big deal.

Victor: Yeah, it just– just he misheard me. As simple as it is, okay?

Nick: All right. You’re up.

Victor: And… why would he say nonsense like that?

Nick: I don’t know. Let’s go.

Adam: Sally, it’s me.

[ Sally sighing ]

Sally: Go away, adam.

Adam: Sally, please. Five minutes, that’s all I ask.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

[ Sally sighing ]

Sally: What is it?

Adam: I– I– I wanted to make sure sure that you were all right.

Sally: No, you didn’T.

Adam: What does that mean?

Sally: You were just looking for an excuse to follow me. But look, I’m– I’m okay, all right? So– so, you can leave.

Adam: You were pretty upset earlier at the coffee house. This is about our kiss, isn’t it? About nick’s reaction? Is that why he wanted to deck me in the face when I saw him earlier?

Sally: Okay. You’re not hearing me, adam? Just goodbye–

Adam: Listen to me. I heard you tell chloe that you might not have a business anymore. Do you really think nick is gonna pull funding over a kiss?

Sally: He could, yeah.

Adam: He would never do that to you. Over a kiss? That is so unfair.

Sally: Well, it’s his money. It’s his call.

Adam: Did you tell him that it was my fault? That I kissed you?

Sally: It doesn’t matter anymore, adam? All right. It’s done.

Adam: You know that? He said that he was gonna pull the plug on your business?

Sally: Oh, my god, just stop.

Adam: Listen, do you really think he’s gonna end your business over something that’s my fault?

Sally: Well, he’s gonna end our relationship over it. So, yeah, he could.

Adam: Oh, wow. I– I could talk to him.

Sally: Please don’T. Honestly, just stay away.

Adam: Look, it’s gonna work out, okay? Nick’s gonna– he’s gonna get over it. You sure you’re gonna be okay?

Sally: Yes, of course, I’m gonna be okay, adam. I’m always okay. All right? Everyone just needs to stop treating me like I’m some fragile flower. Like I don’t know, some breeze is just gonna blow me over and uproot me and I’m never gonna recover. Like I don’t know my own mind and I can’t control my own actions because that is not who I am. And you, of all people, should know that. You know the challenges I faced. I told you how I grew up.

Adam: Yes, I do know that.

Sally: I’m not looking for a hero, adam. And I’m done with people thinking that they know what’s best for me.

Nikki: All right, claire, I’ll see you in the morning.

Claire: Absolutely. Thank you. It has been a pleasure to meet you, miss newman.

Victoria: Um, nice to meet you too, claire. So, how is claire working out? You seem to be pretty sure that you found the perfect assistant.

Nikki: Well, today was just her first day, but I think she’s gonna be just fine.

Victoria: That’s great, mom.

Nikki: It is. But I don’t want to talk about my assistant. I want to talk about you. What’s going on?

Victoria: What do you mean? There’s nothing going on.

Nikki: Victoria.

Victoria: Mom, I’m fine.

Nikki: I don’t believe you. You seem rattled. Something has happened. And you know, I’m just gonna keep pushing you until you tell me, so what is wrong?

Claire: Oh, my god.

Nate: No damage.

Claire: I’m so sorry.

Nate: No damage to your tablet.

Claire: Oh, god. Totally my fault. I need to learn that walking while reading is not considered multitasking.

Nate: That is good advice.

Victor: Well, do you remember our first boxing lesson?

Nick: Yeah. It’s when I got back from boarding school in switzerland.

Victor: That’s right. My god almighty. Whoa.

Nick: You told me fighting is not always the best way to solve a conflict.

Victor: Did you find that to be true or what?

Nick: Sometimes, I like fighting.

Victor: Like father, like son.

Nick: Hey, how’s it going being back at the office?

Victor: I love it. Stress and all. I love it. Yep.

Nick: Can you promise me something? That you will not overdo it?

Victor: I promised your mother the same thing, okay? The only thing I regret is that you’re not at the company with me.

Nick: Yeah, I get it. Um, I’m enjoying working with sharon. I think it’s the best place for me right now.

Victor: Yeah, but I honestly think you should be with your family. You should be with the company.

Nick: But I don’t know if it’s best for me.

Victor: Well, but look at– look at how happy your sister is at newman media.

Nick: Um, mom’s the one who’s at newman media.

Victor: Oh.

Nick: Yeah. You made mom ceo of newman media. Vic’s still at the parent company, working as your second-in-command.

Victor: Oh, yeah. Right. Huh. (Man) mm, hey, honey.

Heather: Uh, daniel didn’t tell you? We– we– we talked about it a couple of days ago.

Daniel: We did. However, you didn’t sound all that sure of yourself.

Heather: I– I wasn’t, I– I really– I just made this decision yesterday.

Daniel: I didn’t really feel like it was my place to say anything until heather made up her mind.

Lily: Yeah, no, it makes sense. Um, what made you wanna move back here?

Heather: Lucy hates to be away from her dad, so that was probably the– the biggest determining factor. And then also, after I picked up phyllis’s case and I spent time back here, I realized how much I missed living in the states and genoa city.

Lily: Yeah. But what about your job in portugal?

Heather: Oh, I don’t have a long-term contract there. I made that a stipulation when I started the job and we were moving to a new country. I didn’t– I didn’t want to get trapped.

Lily: Yeah, smart.

Daniel: Yeah. You know, I did mention to heather that you might be looking for someone in your legal department at chancellor-winters. Um, I mean, didn’t you mention that somebody left so they could go run the east coast division?

Lily: It’s not finalized. Um, are you sure you wanna do in-house counsel? Because I thought you liked litigations. ‘Cause I mean, you could go to like a local firm or the D.A.’S office.

Heather: The courtroom isn’t exciting me as much as it used to. And I think I would really enjoy the detailed work of contracts and the excitement of negotiations.

Lily: Right. Yeah, I mean, we are actually down a couple of attorneys.

Heather: I can send you my resume and my recs.

Lily: Well, hold off because I mean, we might have some applications in and I don’t wanna waste your time.

Heather: Yeah. Yeah. Understood. I would enjoy an in-house position. I think it would exercise some new muscles for me.

Daniel: Probably mean more time with lucy.

Heather: Definitely a positive.

Lily: Yeah. Well, I’ll– I’ll look into it for sure.

Heather: That is truly fantastic, lily. Thank you.

Claire: Claire grace. I work for nikki newman. I was at the abbott party, but you probably don’t remember. It was a really quick introduction.

Nate: Yes, I remember now. My apologies. I had a lot of family stuff going on that day, so everything is kind of a blur. Nate hastings. Nice to formally meet you.

Claire: Likewise.

Nate: And I’m glad I didn’t break your tablet.

Claire: That would have been totally on me. But I’m glad it’s still in one piece as well.

Nate: If you’re like me, you’ve got most of your life on that thing.

Claire: Including everything I have to handle for mrs. Newman this week. It would have been pretty bad to lose that on my first day.

Nate: Indeed. So, how are you settling in at newman media?

Claire: It’s amazing. I’m so excited to be here. You know how people talk about finding their dream job?

Nate: And you usually don’t believe them.

Claire: But believe me, I’ve found it. I mean, people have been so nice, so welcoming. The company’s big, but there’s this great sense of togetherness. It’s so down to earth. I heard there’s even an assistant softball league.

Nate: That there is. Do you play?

Claire: No, but I’ll learn. Are you kidding?

Nate: Okay. Well, I am glad to hear you’re settling in at newman media. And it’s very nice meeting you.

Claire: Same.

Nate: I’ll see you around.

Claire: Yeah. Take care.

Victoria: I’m not rattled exactly. I’m– I’m just not having the best day. I had a couple of rough conversations with nicholas.

Nikki: Let me guess. You tried to convince him to come back to newman.

Victoria: We discussed it.

Nikki: And he turned you down.

Victoria: Yes.

Nikki: Well, it’s disappointing, but not surprising.

Victoria: There’s something going on with him. Something with adam.

Nikki: Isn’t there always?

Victoria: Well, I couldn’t get him to talk to me about it.

Nikki: I’ll bet you sally has something to do with it.

Victoria: Oh, yeah, I thought the same thing too. But I’m also worried about dad and the stress of him being back here, now more than ever.

Nikki: Why is that?

Victoria: I ran into adam earlier and he told me something disturbing. He told me that dad called him nicholas by mistake and when adam tried to point it out, dad got angry.

Nikki: Yeah, I know. I heard. Your father dismissed it with me as well. But you know, I mean, we’ve all done that kind of thing. I want to know why adam felt the need to tell you about it.

Victoria: I’m not sure.

Nikki: He’s trying to unnerve you.

Victoria: Mom, you know what? You’re right. Calling someone the wrong name once, it’s– it’s not a big deal, but it’s just very unlike dad. And I’m worried that the stress is really starting to get to him like we feared. And, I mean, I know you’re worried as well. I can see it in your eyes.

Nate: Nikki. Victoria. Sorry to interrupt. Uh, we have that conference call in ten minutes.

Victoria: Oh, that’s right. I was just telling mom what you saw earlier between dad and adam.

Nate: No, victor was just a little confused. That’s all. I don’t think we need to worry about it.

Nikki: Neither do I. I think adam was just grasping at straws for his own reasons. Whatever the hell those could be. I mean, you know how he is.

Nate: Adam’s not above trying to use something like this.

Nikki: Well, I don’t think there’s a reason for any of us to overreact.

Victoria: Maybe. Or maybe we’re not reacting enough. Hi. I use febreze fade defy plug.

Victor: Son, I know who holds what position in my company. I mean, your sister is my right hand and your mother runs newman media.

Nick: Yeah, but you said…

Victor: I said what?

Nick: Uh, nothing.

Victor: Okay. But your sister seems to have a hard time. She needs to accept the fact that she’s no longer in charge.

Nick: You think she’s finally come around?

Victor: Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I think she’s happy with it. With her job and that goes for adam as well. He is, I think, very happy being nate’s assistant.

Nick: Well then, you got what you wanted. I’m glad it’s working out.

Victor: And then there’s you. Let me ask you something. When you were pounding the heavy bag before, you seemed to do it with an enormous ferocity. I mean, what– was that meant for someone? Did you envision someone’s face on that heavy bag?

Adam: Look, I– I would never call you fragile. I mean, you are one of the strongest, bravest, most independent people that– that I’ve ever known, okay? You’re right up there with my mother.

Sally: Okay, please don’t do that, okay? Don’t bring your mother into this, all right? Because it’s just a way to distract me.

Adam: Sally. That’s not what I’m trying to do.

Sally: Really? Okay. Because every single time I think about hope, I think about all the wonderful things that you’ve told me about her and– and how you grew up and what you went through as a kid and how it’s made you into the person you are today and somehow, it lets you off the hook.

Adam: Okay. It- it– it wasn’t that deep, sally, or that conniving. I just was… never mind, okay? I’ll– I’ll keep my– uh, my mother out of this. All that I was trying to say is that I wish that I had half the resilience that you have. But even the strongest people in the world, they need to vent every once in a while, okay? It’s not healthy to keep everything inside.

Sally: Yeah. Except for I’m not, okay? The anger is boiling right at the surface along with frustration and annoyance.

Adam: Good. Sure. Yes. Sure. Come on.

Sally: You really want me to let it all out?

Adam: Yes.

Sally: Really? Are you ready for that? Because you do know that you’re the one I’m mad at, right?

Adam: Come on. Let me have it. But promise me that you’re not gonna hold back.

Heather: Well, I have to get back to packing and head to the airport.

Daniel: Don’t forget.

Heather: The brownies. Yes, thank you. Lucy, she would never forgive me.

Daniel: You’re welcome.

Heather: And a sincere thank you for supporting my decision.

Daniel: I’m all for anything that’s gonna get me more time with my daughter.

Heather: We can all be a family again.

Daniel: We always will be.

Heather: You’re right. It doesn’t matter where we all live, but it is definitely a bonus to be in the same town.

Daniel: Yeah. Look, I’ll work on school and trying to find an apartment for you. And I’ll let you know what I hear.

Heather: I appreciate it. And lily, uh, thank you so much for looking into your legal department to see if there might be room for me.

Lily: Yeah, of course. I will get on it tomorrow.

Heather: Okay.

Daniel: Have a safe flight.

Heather: Thanks. Okay, bye, guys.

Lily: Bye. It seems like her mind is made up.

Daniel: It sure does. You know, I spoke with her about it before. She seemed like she was on the fence.

Lily: So you’re, uh, really okay with this?

Daniel: With heather and lucy moving back to genoa city permanently?

Lily: Yeah.

Daniel: Yeah. Why wouldn’t I be? – It’s payback time.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. When prices and appliances click,

Lily: So, is that why you seemed off this morning?

Daniel: Yeah, I didn’t want to get my hopes up about lucy coming back.

Lily: Well, I mean you still could have told me. Did you think I was gonna have a problem with it?

Daniel: No.

Lily: ‘Cause you know, I want you to be close to lucy, right?

Daniel: I know. I didn’t want to ruin a romantic evening by talking about my ex.

Lily: Well, that’s a smart move. But still…

Daniel: So, you are worried?

Lily: No, no, no, not like that. I don’t think that you’re gonna, you know, get back together with heather.

Daniel: Because that’s not an issue. You know that, right?

Lily: No, I know. I’m just worried that you guys being in the same town and co-parenting so closely might bring up old stuff for you.

Daniel: Stuff like what?

Lily: I don’t know. I mean, you know, it could bring up old patterns or– or, you know, you could remember how bad things were and then you feel guilt and regret.

Daniel: Okay, okay. Look, I am not gonna spiral again, that is for sure. And I hate that you feel like you have to worry about me, but I do appreciate you expressing your concerns. I’m just– I’m in a much better headspace than I was when I left savannah and a lot of that is because of you.

Lily: Oh, really?

Daniel: Yes, really. We have a solid relationship. You support me. I support you. Right?

Lily: Yes.

Daniel: My career is great right now. I– I like the path I’m going on. It– it feels like it’s right. My demons, they have been exorcised.

Nick: Why do you think I was picturing someone’s face on the heavy bag? You know what? I know you’re not gonna let this go, so, um, earlier today, I made the decision to not put adam through a wall. But I needed to do something. So, my reward was the heavy bag.

Victor: What has he done to get you so worked up?

Nick: What? Like lately? Our whole history isn’t enough?

Victor: Hm. In other words, you don’t believe him when he says he’s gonna change his ways.

Nick: Not even a little bit. Unlike you, I can’t keep giving him chances. I’m done with it. I think he destroys everything he touches. I mean, he absolutely ruined my relationship with sally.

Victor: Hm. Sorry to hear that.

Nick: Are you? Because I feel like you’ve been waiting to hear that.

Victor: My son, let me be very honest with you. I think you’re too good for her.

Nick: Please don’t do that. All right? She’s a much better person than you ever give her credit for. And this isn’t even about her. This is about adam. Adam doesn’t deserve sally. Never has. Not after the way he broke her heart, but he did it to sharon. He’s gonna do it to sally.

Victor: What’s he doing to her?

Nick: Just this love bombing, obsessive thing. Telling them over and over again that they’re the only thing standing between him and his dark side. It’s ridiculous.

Victor: But maybe he’s right.

Nick: No, he’s not right. Otherwise, he would have made some changes, but he doesn’T. It doesn’t matter. He’s laser-focused on sally right now. Doing everything he can to pull her back in. I will never forgive him for that.

Sally: I don’t need your permission to feel, or do, or think anything, adam, okay? I don’t need your approval or your support or your endless subtle or not-so-subtle declarations of love. Why can’t you just leave me alone? Every single time I am happy and things are going well, there you are to take away my happiness. To make me question myself and to make me doubt my own feelings. We have been doing this dance for a long time now and I am exhausted. I don’t wanna do it anymore. Look, okay. When we first met, we knew that we were kindred spirits, okay? We were outsiders. We were disruptors. We are bold and we are passionate. I saw it in you and you saw it in me. But when I pursued you, you put me off. You told me all the reasons why it couldn’t work. Because I’m toxic and I’m no good for anyone. God. Oh, my god. Where would I be if I had just listened? But I didn’t listen. And then, when you finally, finally let me in, it was amazing. Until it wasn’t and you pushed me away again. Only to immediately try and get me back because you couldn’t stand the fact that I could survive without you.

Adam: Okay.

Sally: And god, thank god. Lucky me, I found nick, who is a good man. He’s– he’s a man who loves me. A man who stood by me when I was having another man’s child, his brother’s child. A man who talks about having his own children with me. I am so, so sick of you getting in my head, okay? You say that you’re my friend, but a friend wouldn’t work so hard to keep me off balance. A friend wouldn’t show me what an entire future could look like and then just rip it away. I was in a really good place. I was working through my grief over ava. And I was happy. Or almost happy anyway. Why did you have to kiss me? Why did you have to say those things? Why can’t you just let me go, adam?

Adam: I apologized. Okay? And I meant it. I mean, why– why– why does this still resonate so deeply for you? Why can’t we get past it?

Sally: Because I can’t let go of you either. My a1c was up here; now, it’s down with rybelsus.

Sally: Oh, damn it. Damn you. God.

Adam: Is that true?

Sally: Yes. Yes, it’s true. Okay? But it doesn’t matter.

Adam: Sally.

Sally: No.

Adam: Yes, it does matter.

Sally: No, it doesn’T.

Adam: You just said that.

Sally: I shouldn’t have said anything, okay? ‘Cause I– I don’t even know why it’s true. It is not good. It is not healthy. It is not logical, okay? And there is absolutely no way I would act on something so wrong.

Adam: Sally, you just said that’s the truth.

Sally: You know what? You should go, go, adam, please. You got what you wanted, okay?

Adam: What are you talking about? I told you that I want you too, okay? So if you love me at all, care about me at all, leave me alone.

Lily: So, speaking of demons… oh, I was gonna make a joke about your mom. How’s she doing at omegasphere?

Daniel: It’s very funny, very funny. Um, I don’t know. I think she behaved. She’s not reporting directly to me. She’s part of this it team and has her own boss, so I didn’t see her all day long, but I– I did not hear any screaming, so…

Lily: Oh, that’s a good sign.

Daniel: Yeah, it is the first day, but still. You know, summer and I were actually gonna have dinner with her later to celebrate the new job. You should come.

Lily: Oh, no, no, no. Nope. Nope. Nope. You can have your mother all to yourself. Does she know about heather moving back to town?

Daniel: I don’t know how she could. I didn’t say anything.

Lily: Lucy?

Daniel: Maybe.

Lily: Well– well, she’s gonna be thrilled.

Daniel: I guess.

Lily: Yeah, of course. Are you kidding? She loves her granddaughter. We all know how she feels about you and heather getting back together. I mean she went to lisbon to try to work her magic.

Daniel: Which she never should have done in the first place and I never asked her to do. And it doesn’t really matter how my mom feels about me and heather ’cause that’s never gonna happen again. You know that, right?

Lily: Yes, of course.

Daniel: Listen to me. Come here. Heather is my past. You are my future.

Lily: Well, I’m your past too.

Daniel: Hm. That’s a good point.

Victoria: You don’t agree with my mother, do you? That I’m overreacting about my father’s behavior?

Nate: I understand that you’re concerned, but people do change their minds and make mistakes, confuse words or sometimes, you know, forget things when they’re under duress.

Victoria: Normal people, maybe, but not victor newman.

Nate: I know you’re not saying your dad’s not human.

Victoria: No, of course not. I’m just saying that I think something’s wrong. I’ve seen it. Adam’s even seen it. You’ve seen it, but you’re writing it off as an accident or fatigue or stress or whatever.

Nate: If your mother’s not worried about it and she spends–

Victoria: No, she is worried about it. I saw it on her face, but you walked in to tell me about the conference call before I could pin her down and get her to admit it.

Nate: Then, you should definitely talk more about it with her. Until then, I think we should go to dinner, relax, talk about nonwork, non-victor-related topics for a while. Deal?

Victoria: All right, deal.

Victor: To be frank with you, my son, I have watched the connection between adam and sally.

Nick: Thank you very much for pointing that out.

Victor: Well, I– I– I don’t mean to, you know, rub salt in the wound, but don’t you think it’s better if you and sally go your separate ways before you become more involved?

Nick: More involved how, dad? I– I love her. I’m in love with her, but adam refuses to respect that.

Victor: But adam and sally are expecting a baby. How can you possibly compete with that?

Nick: Um… dad, adam and– and sally they lost their baby months ago. You know that?

Victor: Oh. Oh, anyway, I gotta get to the office, okay?

Nick: Dad, um, you, okay?

Daniel: Oh, my god. That thing is huge. Who’s it from?

Lily: It is… “thank you for accepting me as part of the family company. I see great things in our future. Love, aunt mamie.”

Daniel: Hm. Nice. Any dark chocolate in there?

Lily: Hey, hey, hey.

Daniel: Okay. Not nice. I guess I don’t like dark chocolate. Are you still worried about her motives?

Lily: I don’t know. I just find the way that she’s going about this very odd. It’s like why the cloak and dagger?

Daniel: But she’s your aunt? She can’t possibly mean you any harm, can she?

Lily: I don’t know. I don’t know her that well. I mean, nate spent more time with her. She had left genoa city by the time I was born. And then when my mom and I came back from paris, she was busy with the abbotts. So, I don’t know. My mom adored her. She’s very close with aunt liv. So, maybe I have to leave the worrying to jill. I have enough of my own stuff to worry about.

Daniel: Like what?

Lily: Like you and your ex moving back to town?

Daniel: Oh, that’s not fair. Billy lives here. We see him all the time.

Lily: Billy? That’s so different.

Daniel: No.

Lily: Yes, it is.

Daniel: Oh, really? Maybe, I’m just going to have to show you that you have nothing to worry about.

Victoria: You know, everybody sees dad as this god. That he’s immortal or he’s infallible, but he’s not, he’s a human being who’s aging. He’s had multiple medical issues in the past. I know. I know we don’t want to think about the future. We certainly don’t want to say the words out loud, but dad is in a crisis. Even if you refuse to see it.

Nick: There’s nothing to see.

Victoria: Okay. Well, what if you’re wrong and– and we do nothing about it and then it gets worse. Are you gonna be able to live with that?

Nick: Hey, vic.

Victoria: Hi.

Nick: You might be right about dad.

Sally: Didn’t you hear me, adam? You need to leave.

[ Adam sighing ]

[ Sally sobbing ] God.

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

Kristina: I have never seen a little girl so wholeheartedly embrace her duties to keep the groom away from the bride on the wedding day. Donna was so determined. Did you see her face?

Nina: She was so cute. She — she was perfect. I mean, the whole day. The whole day was perfect. I’m just — I’m just sorry that Michael, Willow, and Wiley had to leave so suddenly after the ceremony because Michael had business back in Port Charles.

Yeah. That’s Michael. He’s always working on something.

Right?

Mommy and Daddy missed you so much, Amelia.

Wiley: You missed the wedding because you’re still a baby, but it was fun. Now Grandma Nina is our grandma twice.

What do you mean?

Well, she was already our grandma before the wedding. Now she’s our grandma again because she married Grandpa.

Carly: Ohh! Oh! This is such a nice surprise.

Sam: I know. Hi, Carly.

Carly: Hi. So, are you gonna meet Dante here for dinner?

Sam: No, he’s at — he’s at work. How’s Drew doing?

Carly: He’s out of ICU, so, you know, he’s doing better.

Sam: That’s good. He doesn’t want Scout to visit him at the hospital, but she misses him.

Carly: Yeah, he really wants to see her, too, but not like this.

Sam: I know. It was bad.

Carly: Why don’t you take a seat? I’ll get you a menu.

Sam: You know what? I’m not here for food. I’m actually here for you.

Carly: For me?

Sam: Yes. Surprise, surprise. Yeah. I haven’t seen you much in the past couple of weeks, and I just wanted to see how you were doing. Carly, I know what’s going on.

Carly: What do you mean?

Sam: Dante told me that Sonny and Nina eloped in Puerto Rico.

Carly: Oh, that. [ Exhales sharply ]

Sam: Yeah. That. Come on, Carly. This can’t be easy on you. How are you doing? Are you okay?

Carly: No. I’m not.

Lucy: It will give you a whole new level of exposure. With the relaunch of the Deceptor and a new line of our anti-aging gels… of course not for you. Your skin is flawless.

Maxie: Oh, it’s — it’s absolutely perfect. Just gorgeous. But we also have this new lip liner that is so lush. It has vitamin c in it. And you — you could actually name the colors. Oh! And I forgot — in development, we have this wonderful mascara, waterproof, but, really, you can actually swim in it. It’s a very exciting time at Deception.

Blaze: And all products are cruelty-free?

Lucy: Oh, of course. Cruelty-free. Of course. I love animals. I had a duck.

Blaze: Really?

Lucy: Sigmund. Anyway, uh, what do you think?

Blaze: Uh, I have to say, I’m flattered, even if I’m a bit surprised.

Lucy: So…is that a yes? I mean, of course, don’t want to toot my own horn, but… oh.

Maxie: Watch out, Blaze. Here comes some tooting.

Lucy: Okay! All I’m saying is that… my instincts are never, ever wrong. And my instincts are yelling at the top of their lungs to say you, Blaze, are a perfect fit to be the new Face of Deception.

Sasha: Yes, I understand. I’ll be ready. Yes. Thank you.

[ Knock on door ]

Cody: Hi, Sasha. What’s, uh, with all the boxes? You planning on leaving Port Charles?

Sasha: Yes.

Cody: I don’t understand. You just got your life back and you’re gonna walk away from it?

Blaze: Deception generated a lot of negative publicity. I’m concerned about attaching myself to that legacy.

Sasha does have a troubled past, but there were some extenuating circumstances.

Blaze: Of course. I’m sorry for what she went through.

Yes, of course. Um, so are we. But, you know, just because we are looking for the new Face of Deception doesn’t reflect on Sasha at all. You know, come to think of it, any classic cosmetic companies, a lot of them change spokesmodels often.

True. Look at Fusion. They change theirs more than RuPaul changes wigs.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. So it’s time for Deception to go in a new direction.

Right. And we really do think you are the perfect fit. I mean, because you already are a known brand through your music. Yeah, you’d be working with a successful company in the cosmetics industry, and we would get access to your celebrity and your millions of fans who love your music.

[ Chuckles ] So…what do you say?

Blaze: Thank you, both of you. You’ve given me a lot to think about.

Ah. Well, you know, I don’t mean to be pushy at all, but we do need to know by the end of the week.

Blaze: Not a problem. I’ll have my manager contact you by the end of the week. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a plane to catch.

Lucy: Okay. I think that went well.

Maxie: But don’t you think we’re kind of putting the cart before the horse here?

Lucy: How so?

Maxie: Don’t you think we should have given Sasha some warning before we offered her job to somebody else?

Sasha: Cody, please come in. I’m really glad you stopped by.

Cody: Really? Because it sure looks like you were planning on leaving town without saying goodbye to me.

Sasha: I’m sorry. I, um, got caught up in packing once I decided to go.

Cody: But why are you leaving?

Sasha: Because everywhere I turn in this town reminds me of a mistake that I made or a person who I let take advantage of me. It’s too painful for me to live in Port Charles. I worry that if I stay here, I might get dragged back down again. I feel like I — I need to start over someplace new.

Cody: Where are you going?

Sasha: Austin.

Cody: Austin, Texas? No people there? Friends or family?

Sasha: No. I will meet people. I’ll make friends.

Cody: Make friends like — friends like Nina, Maxie? And Michael and Willow? Friends like me?

Sam: Okay. I’m sorry. I probably shouldn’t have brought up Sonny’s wedding. I’m sure it’s, like, a rough — rough subject for you.

Carly: I’m okay. And I’m not okay. I mean, it doesn’t mean that I haven’t moved past Sonny. Because I have. You know, I’m with Drew. And he makes me so happy. And my life is good, and it’s only gonna get better when Drew is out of prison. But I can’t say that Sonny marrying Nina doesn’t… it stinks.

Sasha: I don’t think I’ll ever meet anyone like you ever again.

Cody: Yeah. Of course not. [ Chuckles ] So why are you leaving town?

Sasha: Because I’m lost. Ever since I came to Port Charles, it’s been one mistake after another, starting with working with Valentin to convince Nina that I was her long-lost daughter. And then I got involved with Cyrus Renault, who got me hooked on drugs. Finally, I trusted Gladys, who took advantage of me when I was at my most vulnerable. Honestly, Cody, I don’t know why I keep making these epic mistakes. I’m putting my trust in all the wrong people.

Cody: I think I might know.

Lucy: Come on. Sasha did not deserve any of those bad things that happened to her. We know that. And even if we replace her as the Face of Deception, she’s still gonna be a shareholder. She’s still a partner in the company. It’s just that, for the good of Deception, we need a fresh face, really, one that the customers don’t associate with all those… public meltdowns. And I think Blaze is perfect to take us in that completely different direction. And, ultimately, that is gonna benefit Sasha, too.

Maxie: Lucy, from a business perspective, I totally get where you’re coming from. I just wish there was another way!

Lucy:I know!

Scott: Another way to what?

Hello there.

Hey.

Martin: Hey. Well, what’s with the long faces? Come on, ladies. What’s going on?

Deception business.

[ Cellphone dings ]

Maxie: [ Sighs ] I got an S.O.S. From my mom. And she’s watching my kids. So I’ll call her. I’ll be right back.

Okay.

What is all that about?

Lucy: Sometimes the beauty business is anything but glamorous.

Kristina: Dad, I know it was your idea to elope, but what was it? What wedding-planning moment pushed you over the edge? Was it the thought of a huge, 100-plus-person wedding or was it just that you didn’t want to wait a year to be husband and wife?

Sonny: I always wanted Nina to have the wedding she wanted to have, whatever made her happy. Then I started thinking, why do we have to have a special event? Why can’t we just go to my island, right? Because I love my island. Always loved my island. Got a staff there. They’ll take care of everything.

Kristina: And you? How hard did my father have to persuade you to give up the wedding you were planning — all the guests and everything — and elope?

Nina: Oh, I caved in less than a minute.

[ Laughter ]

Michael: Didn’t expect Amelia to fall asleep so fast. I thought she’d want to stay up with us since we’ve been gone.

Willow: Yeah.

Michael: And Wiley. He’s so content playing in his room. He loves that toy jet.

Willow: I can’t believe he’s already asking to fly back to Grandma and Grandpa’s island tomorrow.

Michael: Yeah. We’ll see what happens after I finish my business.

Willow: And, of course, I’m happy to be home and be back with Amelia, but I am sorry we had to leave Puerto Rico early. It’s just so peaceful and beautiful there. And I am disappointed we didn’t get to take Wiley to the ocean. I think he would have loved walking on the beach.

Michael: Yeah. I promise you we’ll — we’ll go back soon again, okay?

Willow: Well, maybe we can coordinate with Sonny and Nina and make it another family trip.

Kristina: Our dad first pitched the idea of eloping, it took me a second, but then I thought, why not? You know? It seems very intimate. And I said yes.

Nina: And then I saw you and Michael and Willow and Wiley and donna. And I was blindsided, but in the best possible way.

Kristina: Ohh. This was an awesome surprise. Gotta hand it to you, Dad. I mean, not just having me show up, obviously, but getting Carly’s permission to have donna there. And Michael and Willow and Wiley? Some epic powers of persuasion, Pops.

Sonny: I do what I can.

Kristina: You know, you never gave up on Michael, no matter how long he gave you the cold shoulder.

Sonny: Well, Michael, you know, had a lot of anger, but he let go of it and h-he left the decision up to Willow whether he was gonna come to the wedding.

Nina: And my daughter chose to come to our wedding, which is a turning point for Willow and me. And I owe it all to you.

Michael: I promise you, Willow. I will bring you and the kids back to the island. And if Sonny and Nina want to join us, then that’s great. I really want to show you and Wiley around the island. I think Amelia’s still a little too young to really appreciate it yet.

Willow: Well, it’ll still be nice to have her there with us. I love it when the family’s all together.

Michael: Yeah. Me too. I remember going there so frequently as a kid. I mean, those are some of the happiest times we had as a family when I was growing up.

Willow: And now you want to pass on that tradition to your own children.

Michael: I do. [ Sighs ] Okay. Wish I could stay, but I really got to get to this meeting.

Willow: Yeah, I would hope you do. Otherwise, Wiley and I could be on a beach in Puerto Rico.

Michael: Yeah. I know.

Willow: You never did say who you needed to meet with.

Michael: Uh, just some new information fell into my lap, and I just have to confirm it before I can take the next step. That’s all.

Willow: Sounds important.

Michael: Well, if it’s what I think it is, then, um, yeah, it could be a real game-changer.

Lucy: I just really feel that it’s important for Deception to go now in a different direction. Especially since the horrible lawsuit has been settled, it’s time for a fresh start.

Martin: Uh, about that, Lucy. I can’t tell you how sorry I am. I mean, I — I know how much it pained you to give up 51% of your company, especially to a person like Tracy Quartermaine.

Okay, let’s not go with that negative aspect.

Lucy: Ugh! I can’t help it. It’s a horrible, awful, bitter pill to swallow, though. And I know I need to move on, but I just — I can’t. I’m having a really hard time with this. I don’t know how. It’s just I know that I will never, ever, ever forgive or forget Tracy. I have to have faith in karma, though, don’t I, that one day Tracy will get exactly what she deserves. And if I have a chance to push that happening right away through karma, that’s what I’m gonna do. I’m just gonna get karma to move her on along.

Well, in the meantime, what do you say you and I move to my hotel suite where we can engage in a little bit of R&R? You know, room service and relaxation.

Lucy: Okay.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Martin: Perfect timing.

Lucy: Do you have — do you have to get that?

Martin: Yeah. Uh, forgive me. Just a sec. Martin Grey.

Michael: Martin, it’s Michael Corinthos. I need to see you in my office at Aurora right away.

Martin: Really? Well, it just so happens I’m in the middle of something.

Michael: Well, it’s in your best interest. I recently discovered that you made a serious mistake, and I’m gonna give you exactly one chance to make things right.

Carly: It’s now or never. Thank you so much for checking on me. I really appreciate it.

Sam: But you have so much on your plate.

Carly: No. I heard what happened with Sasha. I can’t believe what Gladys did to her! I never trusted that woman, ever!

Sam: Yeah, well, Sasha is doing as well as can be expected.

Carly: Well, she’s been through hell. And I’ve been in Ferncliff. It’s your worst nightmare.

Sam: No. I-I know. And the thought of Gladys taking advantage of Sasha’s guardianship is disgusting.

Carly: Yeah. I’m glad Sonny ran her out of town.

Sam: She’s lucky that’s all Sonny did to her. And I’m sure he made it very clear that she can never step foot in Port Charles again, let alone ever try to come near Sasha. She better not. I mean, there’s no reason for Gladys Corbin to ever come back to Port Charles. Sasha is finally free of Gladys. Thank God.

Cody: Sasha, I really think you’re being too hard on yourself. Look. You’re human. Humans make mistakes. Hundreds, if not, I mean, thousands a year. If we didn’t… I mean, yeah, life would be perfect. It’d also be completely boring. Trust me. I know what I’m talking about. I’m pretty much the king of messing up. I have made monumental, ginormous mistakes that were selfish… and…stupid. And that’s just since I parachuted into town. Trust me, if there’s a mistake to be made, I made it, ’cause I made them all.

Sasha: Name one.

Cody: One? Okay. Um, not going after Gladys sooner.

Sasha: That does not count. You were protecting me.

Cody: Okay. Alright. How about me working for Selina Wu? Not exactly a smart decision, is it?

Sasha: You tried to make some extra money. Yeah, it’s not the best person to get involved with, but, still, you — you were trying to do a job.

Cody: Wow. You are just determined to see the best in me, aren’t you?

Sasha: That’s because I owe a lot to you, Cody. And I really wish that you would see yourself the way that I do. Honestly, so far, you haven’t mentioned any mistakes that are really all that bad.

Cody: Okay, then. Here’s a doozy. How about the fact that my biological dad is actually here in Port Charles… and I lied to him and convinced him that I’m not actually his son?

Sasha: Cody, I don’t understand. If your dad lives here in town, why would you lie about it?

Cody: [ Chuckles ] I don’t know. ‘Cause I’m an idiot?

Sasha: Don’t say that.

Cody: Well, I-I don’t know how else to describe my decision. When the — the DNA results came back at G.H., I lied right to his face while I was holding in my hands the test results that said that Mac Scorpio is my biological father.

Sasha: The police commissioner Mac Scorpio?

Cody: That’s the one.

Sasha: Maxie’s stepfather?

Cody: Same guy.

Sasha: How?

Cody: It’s a — it’s a long story, but, essentially, Mac never knew that my mother was pregnant with me.

Sasha: Okay. But why not tell him now?

Cody: Leopold Taub. My mother’s late husband. I thought that if I could prove that I was his son, I could possibly get a lot of money. It’s not important now, but it had something to do with the WSB destroying the Ice Princess necklace, which belonged to Taub.

Sasha: So that’s it? You lied about Mac not being your dad because of money?

Cody: Well, no, that’s — that’s not the only reason.

Sasha: Then why? I mean, I don’t know Mac all that well, but… but all Maxie ever does is talk about what a great guy he is and how he’s always been a father figure to her, even though he’s not her biological dad.

Cody: Yeah. I-I know. And, see, that’s — that’s the thing, Sasha. In what world does a grifter like me deserve having a great dad? I mean, Mac — he’s honest. He’s loyal. He’s hardworking. He’s selfless. Not to mention he’s a cop. Why would he want a troublemaker like me as his son? The reality is…. I don’t deserve to have him as a father.

Maxie: Where’s Martin?

Lucy: Oh, uh, well, you know my Marty. He always has a full plate. And he got an important business call and had to dash.

Maxie: Well, speaking of important business, let’s get back to the Face of Deception.

Lucy: Okay, but I thought that it was all settled. I mean, if Blaze gives us the thumbs-up, then we do replace Sasha, but she still retains all her shares, which is a win-win for everybody.

Maxie: Maybe not.

Lucy: Uh… and what’s the problem?

Maxie: Did you forget about Tracy?

Lucy: Ooh, if only I could.

Maxie: Lucy, whether we like it or not, Tracy owns the majority of Deception. This is kind of a big business decision, so I think we need to run it by her.

Lucy: I am not going to bow to that woman. She is certainly not the boss of me. I mean, come on. She may have 51% of our company and 1% of my precious ELQ… but that doesn’t mean that I have to ask her permission to make a sound business decision. I don’t. Because we need to take Deception into a new direction, starting with a fresh, new face.

Maxie: You’re kind of acting like this is a done deal, and Blaze has not signed a contract yet.

Lucy: She said she wants to think about it. So, I really do have a good feeling about this.

Maxie: You know who’s not gonna have a good feeling about this? Sasha. I think we should tell her. She’s not only our business partner, but she’s our friend. Telling her is the right thing to do.

Blaze: Fancy meeting you here.

Kristina: Blaze? What in the world are you doing here?

Willow: Here you go, honey.

Wiley: Why didn’t Grandpa and Grandma fly home with us?

Willow: Well, we had to come back early because your daddy had a work emergency. But Grandma Nina and Grandpa Sonny stayed behind because they’re now on their honeymoon.

Wiley: What’s that?

Willow: It’s a vacation you take after you get married.

Wiley: I don’t get it. Why do you need a vacation after you get married? Does it make you that tired?

Nina: It’s beautiful here. I can see why you love it so much. It’s a perfect place to have a wedding and to spend our honeymoon.

Sonny: Yeah, I love it here. I mean, I… it’s always been like… my home away from home.

Nina: Well, thank you for sharing it with me.

Sonny: I mean, you’re my wife now. We’re gonna share everything. The good, the bad, the happy, the sad. We’re gonna share it all.

Martin: I do not enjoy being summoned… and I like being threatened even less, so unless you know something I don’t, I have no business here with you or Aurora.

Michael: Well, thank you for coming, Martin, and I can assure you, I didn’t imply any threat. I was just telling you the truth.

Martin: About what?

Michael: That you made a terrible mistake when you turned my mother and Drew Cain in to the SEC for insider trading.

Sasha: I can’t believe that you would say something like that. Listen to me. Any man would be so proud to call you their son, including Mac Scorpio.

Cody: I — [ Scoffs ]

Sasha: Look at what you did for me. And that was after I stabbed you.

Cody: Sasha, there were extenuating circumstances. You didn’t think you were stabbing me. You thought you were stabbing Cyrus Renault. And that’s just because Gladys and that unethical Dr. Montague were drugging you.

Sasha: It doesn’t matter. You sacrificed your freedom to help me. You weren’t afraid to go after Dr. Montague. What you did was so incredibly brave.

Cody: No. No, Sasha, you — you were the brave one. You went back into that hellhole where they were drugging you against your will. He was basically torturing you. And you did all that just to stop Montague.

Sasha: You call it brave. I call it desperate. Putting Montague behind bars and freeing myself from Gladys were just things that I needed to do in order to get my life back if I was ever gonna have one. Now that I do… I need to start from scratch.

Cody: Someplace else?

Sonny: Yes. I was gonna ask you about this turquoise bracelet. Is there some significance? ‘Cause I have never seen you wear that.

Nina: Ah.

Willow: This covers the old and the blue. I hope you like it.

Nina: It’s beautiful. And that it came from my — you.

Willow: So, it belonged to my m– it belonged to harmony. She gave it to me on my 16th birthday. And according to her, turquoise is supposed to bring peace, luck, and protection.

Nina: I love this. I love it. I will love it for the rest of my life.

Nina: You’re right. You haven’t seen it. Because it’s brand-new, and it’s incredibly significant, Sonny, because… it was a gift from my daughter.

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

Michael: Is that so?

Martin: And even if I did, this isn’t a courtroom, and you’re certainly not a judge, so if you’ll forgive me, I am under zero obligation to answer your allegation.

Michael: You don’t need to tap-dance around the issue here, Martin. I already know you’re the one who contacted the SEC and suggested that they investigate Drew and my mom for insider trading.

Martin: Regardless of whoever made the phone call, the simple fact is Mr. Cain was found guilty. Now, as to why he chose to be the fall guy for your mother, I have no idea. I mean, let’s be honest. She was the real guilty party. If anything, she’s the one who should be in prison.

Michael: My mom made a mistake. She was just trying to help me and Drew. But, you see, the merger between ELQ and Aurora, it never happened. My mom didn’t make any money. Hell, she lost her half of The Metro Court. See, now, most cases similar to my mom’s, the SEC would have just walked away. But this… see, there was someone working behind this case, pushing them to go forward. See, Martin, I know it wasn’t your idea to contact the sec. You were just working on your client’s behalf. Now, your client used you to inflict maximum damage on my family — to my mother, Drew’s daughter, my siblings, my uncle. Your actions caused a lot of pain, a lot of devastation for a lot of people. That’s why I called you here, Martin. Because I want to give you a chance. I’m giving you a chance… to save yourself. I’m giving you a chance to make amends.

Willow: And for dessert, chocolate pudding. One of your favorites.

Wiley: Thanks, mommy. [ Chuckles ] Grandpa Sonny and Grandma Nina should have had chocolate pudding at the wedding.

Willow: I’m so glad you had such a good time at the wedding.

Wiley: It was really fun. I love Grandpa Sonny and Grandma Nina so much.

Willow: I’m happy to hear that.

Wiley: You love them, too, right, Mommy?

Willow: I love our whole family.

Kristina: You are here, right? I only had two glasses of champagne — three now — at my dad’s wedding, so I know I’m not hallucinating.

Blaze: It’s me.

Kristina: Well, how are you even in Puerto Rico? When we were texting earlier, all you said was we should hang out when I get back to Port Charles. Turns out we didn’t have to wait that long to see each other again.

[ Chuckles ]

Carly: Hey.

Sam: Yeah.

Carly: Sam, when you see Sasha, will you just give her my best, please, and tell her if she needs anything, I’m here for her?

Sam: Yeah, I’m — I’m actually gonna get out of your — your hair. I just — I wanted to check in on my friend.

Carly: I’m glad you did. And look. I want you to know that even though Sonny marrying Nina stings, I love Drew. I adore him. And I’m devoted to him. And I’m never gonna forget the sacrifice he made for me. And it’s really important to me that you believe that.

Sam: I do. I do. And I know.

Carly: Okay. See ya.

Cody: Okay. Well… when are you leaving?

Sasha: The movers will be here tomorrow morning.

Cody: Wow. Um, look, Sasha, I — I totally understand you wanting to get a fresh start, but this — does it really have to be away from Port Charles? I mean, are you absolutely sure about that?

[ Knock on door ]

Maxie: Hi! What’s up with the boxes?

Cody: Sasha’s leaving town.

Maxie: You’re leaving Port Charles?

Sasha: I’m moving to Austin.

Maxie: What’s in Texas?

Cody: Nothing. And no one. That’s the point.

Sasha: I need a fresh start. Someplace that doesn’t hold painful memories. Every time I go to G.H., all I think about is losing my sweet Liam. And whenever I go to Charlie’s pub, I-I force a smile and I pretend to be happy. I might look happy, but… I can’t erase the images from my head. Brando laying on the ground and the — the rain washing away the blood from his chest. I mean, I can still hear myself screaming.

Maxie: My heart aches for you, Sasha, because I know exactly how you feel. When Nathan died, I wanted to run away. I wanted to be anywhere but here. And then I realized what is here. My friends and family who love me.

Sasha: Maxie, please. Don’t try to talk me out of it. I’ve made up my mind.

Maxie: I’m not trying to convince you to stay. I just want you to know that I understand the impulse to leave. You have to do what’s best for you.

Sasha: [ Sighs ] Honestly, Maxie, I don’t know what’s best for me. These past couple of months, I feel like I have been just living outside of myself, looking down, seeing this broken person locked in a room, curled up in a ball, unable to function because of the drugs that monster Montague forced on me.

Maxie: Maybe you were trying to detach yourself from the horrors of that place.

Sasha: Yeah. Maybe. But now I can see clearly again, and all I know is that I — I have to get away.

Maxie: Okay. Of course. I will support your decision, whatever that is. I do want you to know that Deception will not be the same without you.

Sasha: Look, I really hope that this does not make things difficult for you and Lucy. I am so sorry that — the last thing I want to do is —

Maxie: No, no. You have nothing to be sorry about.

Sasha: Thank you, Maxie. I’m so glad that you stopped by. Why did you stop by?

Maxie: I just missed my friend.

Kristina: Wait. But you didn’t come here just to see me, right?

Blaze: No.

Kristina: Okay.

Blaze: [ Laughs ] My abuela lives in Puerto Rico. That’s why I’m here. She hates to fly, so I visit her a lot. We’re really close.

Kristina: Aww. That’s sweet.

Blaze: Yeah. She’s great. She actually used to work at the hotel.

Kristina: Really?

Blaze: Yeah. Your dad owns the property, right?

Kristina: Yeah.

Blaze: I’m staying there.

Kristina: This is crazy. What a small world. But wait. How did you wind up here in the chapel?

Blaze: I decided to light a candle for my abuela and say a prayer. And then I walk in, and there you are.

Kristina: Here I am.

[ Both laugh ]

Blaze: It must be fate.

Kristina: It could be.

Nina: Look! A shooting star!

Sonny: Well, you know what you’re supposed to do when you see a shooting star, right?

Nina: Hmm?

Sonny: You’re supposed to make a wish.

Nina: Well, how am I supposed to make a wish when you have given me everything that I have ever wanted? I’m your wife now. You’re my husband. I love you so much.

Sonny: I love you, too. And you have changed my life in ways that I’m just beginning to understand.

Nina: Happy wedding day, Mr. Corinthos.

Sonny: Happy wedding day, Mrs. Corinthos.

Willow: Congratulations.

Nina: Thank you, Willow. You know, it means so much that you are here.

Martin: If I was acting on behalf of a client — and that is a big if — my actions would be covered by attorney-client privilege, which means I couldn’t possibly discuss it.

Michael: Hey. Look. Of course. I get that. I understand. I mean, what kind of attorney would you be if you broke that trust?

Martin: Good. I’m glad we understand each other.

Michael: Of course, though, I would have to then refer this issue to Sonny, and he’d handle it, you know, his way.

Martin: I s-see no reason to involve Mr. Corinthos. I mean, even if he came to me with the same question, the same privilege would still exist.

Michael: You see, that’s where you and I disagree. Because your client’s actions harmed Sonny’s family. Your client lied to him and continues to lie to him. Now, I think that Sonny needs to know that, don’t you? You see, Sonny — he doesn’t know that you’re involved. It can remain that way, provided you tell me the name of the person who’s actually responsible.

Martin: If I do that, it could ruin my reputation as a lawyer.

Michael: Martin, I already know that she’s the one. I just need you to confirm it. That or, you know, you can tell Sonny in probably much less comfortable circumstances.

Martin: Nina Reeves. I called the SEC at Nina Reeves’ direction and I suggested they investigate Drew Cain and Carly Spencer for insider trading.

Michael: Thank you, Martin. You can go now.

Martin: What are you gonna do?

Michael: I appreciate you meeting with me.

[ Door closes ]

Martin: Nina Reeves. I called the SEC at Nina Reeves’ direction and I suggested they investigate Drew Cain and Carly Spencer for insider trading.

Transcript provided by and proofread by Suzanne

 

[ Dramatic music ]

Hope: I just– I just don’t want to think right now. I don’t– I don’t wanna think about Sheila. I don’t wanna think about my dad. I don’t wanna think about anything, really. Just, please, will you help me forget, Thomas?

Thomas: Of course, whatever you need. I love you, Hope.

Brooke: Do you know why we’re here? We’re here because our daughter came to me with tears in her eyes, begging me to get through to you.

Deacon: I never wanted to hurt Hope.

Sheila: It’s the last thing either one of us wanted.

Brooke: You have so much to lose, Deacon, especially with Hope. Tell Sheila to get lost, today!

Li: So, you ran right to RJ. Hm. Just like your mother, never taking responsibility.

Luna: Aunt Li, please. That’s not what happened.

RJ: She’s right. That isn’t what happened. I saw that she was incredibly upset and I begged her to tell me what was going on so that I could help her. She actually didn’t know that I invited you here today or when I asked Finn to come here to help back me up.

Li: Finn knows?

RJ: Every family has issues and mine’s no exception, okay? But Luna is not gonna be subject to whatever you dictate her life to be, or where she’s allowed to work, or how she’s allowed to live. You do not decide those things. She’s not leaving Forrester Creations.

Li: You know what you need to do. I am not asking. You say goodbye to Forrester Creations, say goodbye to RJ and never come back.

RJ: Luna is our newest intern. She’s smart, helpful, eager without overstepping, and she’s very sweet. She’s proven to be exceptionally valuable with the new line that my granddad and I are making, so we can’t lose her.

Luna: Look, I really appreciate the support, RJ, but I think I need to talk to my aunt alone and settle this once and for all.

RJ: You sure?

Luna: Yeah.

[ Door shutting ]

Li: Well, now that that nonsense is over, you can start packing. Make the smart choice and leave before things get even worse, Luna.

Sheila: I know this is hard for everyone to understand, but we care for one another.

Brooke: Is that true, Deacon? You really have feelings for Sheila?

Deacon: Brooke, you– you know me probably better than anyone and you know my strengths, my weaknesses–

Ridge: Is there a point to this?

Deacon: Look, I– I know this isn’t the answer that you want to hear, but just look at me in the eye. You can see it, can’t you? I can’t explain it. It’s true. I care about her.

Brooke: Deacon, what– what are you doing? How could you possibly, possibly have feelings for Sheila?

Deacon: I get it. I– I know. It’s crazy, right? I know I’m risking my future, my– my relationship with Hope, my friendship with you. I– I swear, I have tried to break up with her. I have. Every time I do, I go right back to her. I can’t explain it. We get each other. You know, we make each other happy. The misfits, the– the rejects, the criminals. We finally found someone who truly understands the other. I’m sorry that this has been such a shock to you and Hope. I’m just asking– I’m begging you, please, just keep an open mind to the possibility that maybe this could be a good thing.

Ridge: A good thing!

Deacon: Look, I vow to both of you that Sheila will never be a threat to you or your family.

Li: I should have known it was only a matter of time before you showed up. It’s always something.

Luna: I haven’t seen you in years, Aunt Li. No one even knew that I was related to you or Finn. I mean, why can’t you just let me–

Li: Let you what? Blow up my life like your mother has countless times before? She got pregnant, embarrassed our entire family. Make something of herself? Oh, no. She floated from one music festival to the next, doing her arts and crafts.

Luna: My mom’s talented.

Li: She’s a disappointment to our entire family. Our parents worked hard to give us opportunities. I’ve given back. What have we seen in return from your mother? Nothing!

Luna: She doesn’t have the money like you do.

Li: Oh, excuses. That’s all your mother ever has: Excuses. What’s your excuse, Luna, for being here at Finn’s family business, hm? Or am I supposed to believe that all this is a coincidence, that you didn’t realize exactly what you were doing?

Luna: I have always loved fashion, ever since I was little and you’d know that if you cared to learn about me. I mean, I never thought that an opportunity like this would be possible for me. I mean, have you ever given a thought about me, about what I want and my dreams? I have never been happier than I am being here at Forrester Creations. And I am not gonna let you take that away from me, Aunt Li.

Hope: I need to– I need to hear you say it.

Thomas: I love you, Hope. You have my total and undivided commitment.

 

Ridge: You’re gonna keep us safe from Sheila? In what world is that a possibility?

Deacon: I’m not getting through to you, am I? Look, I believe that people change for two reasons: fear and love, okay? And all Sheila’s life, she’s been afraid that she would never have love and that has caused her to do terrible things, but she’s changed now because she’s finally found love with me.

Brooke: Love?

Ridge: You– you do know she’s not capable of that, right?

Deacon: She’s not the same woman anymore. I’m, I’m just asking that you and Hope– you too, Ridge– just consider the possibility, all right? Please. I promise, she’s never gonna be a threat to you or Steffy or anyone in your family. I guarantee it.

Li: Look at Luna, all grown up, standing up for herself. Or so she thinks. The world isn’t a playground, Luna. It doesn’t owe you. I certainly don’t. You have to grind and sacrifice and never stop achieving until you make it. Something you’ve never been exposed to from your mother.

Luna: I’m not gonna let you make me feel small and unimportant, the same way you do to my mom. You’re the older sister. You should reach out to her and help her. Okay, so– so you’re a doctor. Sure, I’m impressed, but that doesn’t give you the right to treat me and my mom this way. Finn was shot. We wanted to be there for him and for you, but you didn’t let us. I mean, who does that? We’re family. So much has gone on that you’ve completely excluded us from, but I’m not gonna let you exclude me from this, Aunt Li. This is my opportunity, one that I’ve been waiting for for my entire life. I’m not gonna let you or anyone else take that away.

Sheila: Thank you.

Deacon: Ah, I didn’t do anything.

Sheila: Oh, like hell you didn’t. You stood up for me in front of Brooke and Ridge. I’ve never felt that kind of support before, kind of love.

Deacon: Well, you better get used to it because I love you, Sheila.

Sheila: I love you.

Thomas: You got me, Hope, and I’ve always loved you. This is a dream come true.

[ Door knobs rattling ]

Brooke: Hope? Hope, are you in there? Why is the door locked?

Thomas: Of course.

Hope: Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

[ Hope clearing her throat ]

Brooke: Hi.

Thomas: Hi.

Brooke: You have got to be kidding me.

Luna: Look, I don’t mean to upset you or be disrespectful, Aunt Li, which is honestly more than I can say for how you’ve been treating my mom and me, but I’m not leaving Forrester Creations. RJ doesn’t want me to go. But more importantly, I don’t want to go. This is my dream and I’ve worked so hard to get here. You may scare my mom, but you don’t scare me.

Li: You and I both know what a mistake you’re making. Just remember, I gave you a chance to make all of this go away, for you and your mom.

[ Luna sighing ]

RJ: Hey… I, uh, saw your aunt headed to the elevator. Glad it was her, not you. So, does that mean… you did it. You stood up to her. I knew! I knew you could do it. Wow, I’m so proud of you. I mean, I know that wasn’t easy, from everything you told me about her, right?

Luna: Thank you so much.

RJ: Thank me? What did I do?

Luna: You defended me, and you gave me the confidence to stand up to my aunt. I’ve always been so intimidated by her. Not today, because of you. I don’t wanna leave. I love being here and I love being with you, RJ.

Hope: Look, I know this isn’t what you were expecting, Mom, but we don’t need the lecture.

Brooke: I just came from seeing Deacon and Sheila, like you begged me to.

Hope: What? How did it go?

Brooke: Do you mind? I really need to talk to my daughter, alone.

Thomas: Ah. Sure.

Brooke: Oh, my God. [ Brooke sighing ] Ah, okay. Well, this isn’t how I expected the day to go. First, I go over to see Deacon and Sheila is there, then I come back here to talk to you about that and here you are, shacking up with Thomas, once again.

Hope: Well, could we maybe not make the comparison between us and dad and Sheila? So, tell me, what happened?

Brooke: Uh, same as what happened with you, I suppose. I went over there and tried to talk to him and he says that he’s in love with Sheila, that we don’t need to worry about her, that she’s not a threat to us anymore. So, needless to say, I couldn’t get through to him. But, I certainly hope that I can get through to you about Thomas.

Hope: No, Mom, I really don’t wanna hear that right now.

Brooke: Hope.

Hope: Mom, seriously, you have made your feelings about Thomas very clear to me, okay? But I can make my own decisions.

Brooke: What has gotten into you?

Hope: I don’t know. Is that the answer you want, Mom? Honestly, I don’t know. All I know is that Thomas and I, we are two consenting adults and we don’t have to justify our relationship to anyone.

Brooke: Relationship? I know you don’t love him.

Hope: Yeah, Mom, he knows. I have made it perfectly clear to him.

Brooke: What about him? I mean, has he been honest with you? Honest with himself? Because I know he loves you, honey.

Hope: Yeah. Yeah, he does. And it feels great.

Brooke: My god, what are you doing? You are playing with fire. You know that, right? He was obsessed with you, Hope. I know you haven’t forgotten that. He’s like a ticking time bomb, ready to go off. Okay, maybe he’s controlling himself right now, but what I’m worried about is if he can’t control his emotions and his feelings any longer. What then? What is he going to do then? What?

Thomas: Let me love you. Let me love you the way that no one else can.

Hope: But I’m not in love with you, Thomas. I don’t want to take advantage of your feelings for me.

Brooke: I’m scared for you, Hope. Thomas is dangerous. He’s dangerous!

Primetime TV Review: Raid the Cage

Posted on by Eva Diaz

TV Review!

“Raid the Cage” Review on by Eva 10/16/2023

Raid the Cage is based on an Israeli game show that aired for four years on Israeli television. Damon Wagons, Jr. and Jeannie Mai host the show.

The show consists of two teams of two who answer trivia questions to get time inside a cage full of wonderful prizes. The contestants play four rounds of trivia. After each round, their teammate gets time inside the cage to grab whatever they can, but if time runs out, and they get stuck inside the cage, they lose all the prizes they have grabbed for that round. The team that grabs the most prizes after four rounds wins the game and goes to the bonus round where they must grab at least $50,000 in prizes so they can beat the cage.

I really enjoyed watching this show and was rooting for the contestants to win the game. The show gives really good prizes like really expensive vacations, Prada handbags and diamond rings. The show is really fun to watch.

Raid the Cage airs Fridays 9 pm Eastern/8 pm Central time and it is posted on Paramount+ on Saturday.

I give this show 5 out of 5 stars

Sally: Look, chloe, you are my very good friend. My very busy friend, between your husband and your kids, and your amazing new job at marchetti.

Chloe: I’m not too busy to listen.

Sally: Yeah, but it’s not fair for me to unload my drama on you.

Chloe: Friends don’t unload, sally. They share and that’s what it means to be a friend. You know, you’re here no matter what.

Sally: You’re really not going to like what you’re going to hear.

Chloe: Come on, you’re clearly going through something and I want to help if I can.

[ Sally inhales ]

Sally: Adam kissed me.

Chloe: Oh. Okay. How did that happen?

Sally: [ Chuckles ] Well, it wasn’t supposed to happen. Um, we went to dinner and we had drinks. Too many drinks, and we talked and– and it was good. And then, he walked me to my door and–

Chloe: He kissed you.

[ Chuckles ] Well, that’s Adam. Never a missed opportunity. You didn’t kiss him back, did you?

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

Sally: Oh, this reminds me of when I was in like, seventh or eighth grade and I was madly in love with these two really cute boys at the exact same time.

Chloe: Well, we were all really confused as kids.

Sally: Yeah, but I wasn’t confused, I knew that I loved them both.

Chloe: Well, you’re all grown up now.

Sally: Yeah, apparently, when you’re a grown up, you’re supposed to know your heart well enough to know who’s going to make you happy for the long haul and try not to hold on to them both.

Chloe: Listen to your heart. Let it tell you who wins.

[ Sally sighs ]

Sally: No matter the answer?

Chloe: I know the answer. It’s going to tell you that it’s nick. He loves you. And Adam, Adam is just a part of your past, nothing more.

Sally: And what if it doesn’t tell me that? What if it tells me something completely different?

Recap written by Terry

Victor lead his family to believe that he was declining mentally. Nick reminded Victor that he called Adam by Nick’s name. Victor said Adam misremembered. Victor encouraged Nick to return to Newman, citing how happy Victoria was at Newman media and that Adam was happy being Nate’s assistant. Victor also said that Adam and Sally were having a baby – all of which was not true. Victoria was working at Newman Enterprises and beyond furious at being demoted to co-CEO, and Adam was most definitely not enjoying being Nate’s assistant. Sally and Adam’s baby, Ava, passed away before birth months ago. Victor ended the conversation and walked away, but paused to carefully watch Nick’s reaction. Nick began to believe that Victoria may be right that Victor’s mind was slipping. Nick told Victor he made the decision to not put Adam through a wall. He referred to his fury over Adam kissing Sally. Nick blamed Adam for wrecking his relationship with Sally, and vowed he’ll never forgive that. Nick said Adam is laser focused on getting Sally back. Victor said Nick was too good for her and again Victor said Nick belonged in the family company, but Nick said he was happy working with Sharon.

Nikki defended Victor to their daughter, saying everyone has called someone by the wrong name and it’s no reason to overreact. Victoria said maybe the family is not reacting enough.

Adam visited Sally’s room, claiming to check on her. Sally told him to go away. When he did not, Sally let him have it.  She insisted she did not need Adam’s approval, support or declaration of love. She said whenever she is happy, there is Adam, ready to take away her happiness, to make her question herself and doubt her feelings. She told him she is sick of Adam getting into her head. She asked Adam why he could not let her go, but she confessed she could not let him go either. She added that it’s true, but it didn’t matter and she should not have said it. She again told him to go away and leave her alone.

Heather and Daniel discussed her plans to relocate to Genowa city. Daniel later reassured Lily that him reuniting with Heather was not going to be an issue. Lily appeared to think it was. He said that Lily was his future and that they had a solid relationship.

Recap written by Suzanne

Lucy and Maxie try to convince Blaze to be the new Face of Deception, replacing Sasha. Blaze asks some questions and then promises to think about it. She has a plane to catch. Maxie thinks they should be honest with Sasha about replacing her; she also thinks they should consult Tracy about having Blaze be the new spokeswoman. Lucy is still annoyed about Tracy stealing controlling interest of her company.

Kristina chats with Sonny and Nina about the wedding. Blaze shows up unexpectedly on Sonny’s island to visit her grandmother, which surprises Kristina.

Michael, Willow and Wiley are back at home, with Amelia. Willow hopes they can go back to the island for a visit soon. Michael agrees. He summons Martin to his office and tells him that he needs to verify who turned in Carly and Drew to the SEC. After Michael threatens to sic Sonny on him, Martin caves and admits that it was Nina. Michael records him saying that. Meanwhile, back at the island, Sonny and Nina are blissfully happy. Nina tells him about Willow giving her the bracelet.

Sam visits Carly at Kelly’s to see how she’s doing. It was hard for Carly to hear that Sonny and Nina eloped, but she’s doing OK. She’s committed to Drew. They hug.

Cody is shocked when he drops by to visit Sasha and finds her packing to leave town. She can’t take all of the bad memories she has of Port Charles. He tries to talk her into staying, even mentioning that he’s Mac’s real son, but he hasn’t owned up to it yet (to illustrate mistakes he’s made). It’s clear that Sasha admires Cody. Maxie drops by, and Cody storms out in a huff. Maxie sympathizes but doesn’t mention to Sasha about getting a new Face of Deception.

Nitpicks & Flubs For The Week Of 10/9/23

Posted on by Michele Johnson

Nitpicks & Flubs

 

by Michele & Cheryl

Brady from Days

Monday

Stephanie went to Titan to tell Vivian that she quit. She should have seen Alex’s name on the desk. There was a clear shot of his name, and she didn’t see it. She also should have seen him sitting in the chair.

Brady felt like he should be the one to call Roman about Tate working at the pub. Theresa is his niece so she should have been the one calling him.

Theresa (now being played by Emily O’Brien) has an accent that keeps coming through while she’s talking.

Tuesday

It was daytime in Monday’s episode, and it was dark in this episode.

Tate and Holly should know each other since their parents used to be together.

Nicole said she had to see pictures of Tate online. Brady could have shown her the pictures anytime.

Wednesday

Johnny and Chanel were sitting when Holly asked them if they were back together in Tuesday’s episode, but they were standing in this one.

Ava said that she and Harris had to complete their court ordered time at Bayview. Harris wasn’t at Bayview because of a court order. He went there voluntarily.

Thursday

Why did Tate automatically stay with Brady? Why couldn’t he stay with Theresa?

Chloe cried without any tears.

Friday

Why would Roman let Harris stay at the pub when he is indirectly responsible for why Bo was in a coma?

Susan defended Xander when he kidnapped her.

Days Opinions For The Week Of 10/9/23

Posted on by Michele Johnson

Opinion Article

 

by Michele & Cheryl

Theresa from Days

This week wasn’t as exciting as last week’s episodes. The writers dealt with the aftermath of last week’s reveals. We will get into detail about the stories for the week.

For some reason, the writers decided to recast Theresa in the middle of her storyline. The writers decided to use Gwen in the role. The actress is known for playing Gwen. Now we have to get used to her playing Theresa. She still has her accent and for some reason she is sporting a blonde wig. The writers should have given us more time to adjust to her being the character. She was shoved at us too fast. She needed more time so we could get used to her. They never had to stretch her story if they weren’t going to keep the other Theresa in the role. We don’t think we will get used to Emily O’Brien playing the part. Changing her hair isn’t the only thing that will help us get over the fact that Jenn Liley isn’t playing the part. Here’s a question for you. Was her role that vital to the show that she had to be recast like that? We don’t think she needed to be part of the show like that anymore. The show needs more Bradys, but we don’t need her playing the part. We barely got a chance to see the fallout with Gwen/Leo/Dimitri when she was pushed into another storyline.

Brady is suddenly acting like he’s the doting father. He wasn’t around Tate when he grew up, but he’s acting like he is father of the year. We were waiting for Tate to tell him that he wasn’t there for him. He lost Rachel so now he wants to act like he’s the greatest father in the world. We know that he doesn’t care about him. He only cares now because he’s in Salem. We hope that Tate tells him about himself so he can realize that he should have been more involved in his life. Tate is going to be a handful the same way he was when he was a teenager.

We were surprised by Alex’s attitude towards Justin. Last week, he was ready to write Justin off as his father. He acted as if Justin didn’t raise him. He surprised us this week when he had a conversation with Justin. They straightened things out when Justin went to see him. He accepted him as his father. We applauded him for doing that. We thought he was going to keep acting that way towards him. Alex even wanted him to let him know if he gets too big for himself. We liked that. Alex didn’t get too bigheaded yet. Hopefully he won’t get out of hand now that he’s in charge. His conversation with Stephanie probably played a role in his decision to accept Justin as his father.

Belle decided to give Shawn another chance. She wanted to work things out after he was with Talia. We didn’t expect that to happen any time soon. She just found out that he was with her, and she was willing to work on their relationship. There must have been something about her conversation with Philip that made her want to work things out with Shawn. He threw her for a loop when he said that he was going away. He decided to leave town and be with his mother. He didn’t want her to be with him. We weren’t sure what to think about that. You would think that he would want to wo work things out with her, but he wanted to work on himself first. That might be a good thing, but she was willing to fix their relationship. We know Belle decided to leave and we’re not sure if Shawn was fired or not, but there was no reason to write them out that way. They needed a better way to write them out of the show. They are legacy characters and shouldn’t be treated as if they don’t matter to the show.

What is wrong with Susan? Why would she want to defend Xander after what he did to her? He kidnapped her and she begged EJ not to go after him. You would think that she would want him to get revenge after what he did to her. He robbed her of her chance to see her family and she acted like it wasn’t a big deal. We get that the writers want us to forget that he hasn’t been redeemed, but we didn’t forget that. He didn’t pay for his crimes and he needs to in order to be properly redeemed. She was also singing Ava’s praises. Ava didn’t save her because she felt like she should be with her family. She saved her because she wanted to clear her name. Susan is very gullible to think that they cared about her other than to clear their names. It’s too bad that EJ won’t decide to go after them anyway.

Speaking of Xander, he wanted to go after Sarah and sue for full custody of Victoria. He told Sloan how she’s a terrible mother because she was keeping a father away from his child. Does this sound familiar? Sloan is doing the same thing to Eric. He wanted the judge to see that Sarah wasn’t perfect because she lied about her baby’s paternity twice. Sarah would deserve it if Xander won the custody battle.

Sarah found out that Susan was alive. She realized that Xander didn’t kill Susan. She had to rethink things because she knew he wasn’t a killer after all. She will probably expect Xander not to go after the baby. She may know the truth about Xander, but that doesn’t change the fact that she lied to him about the father of her baby.

Susan: but, Sarah thinks…
EJ: There is no buts

Sarah: Yeah there is. He’s not a murderer.
EJ: Not this time
