Recap written by Eva

Lucy and Scott have sex and then Lucy feels horrible about her mistake because she still loves Martin. Tracy tells Martin that she figured out that Scott and Lucy were scheming to get her to fall in love with Scott so they could take Deception from her. Tracy also admits to Martin that she made him think that there was something going on between Lucy and Scott to get back at Lucy for her scheme. Tracy tells Martin that she wanted him to break up with Lucy but now, she feels awful about it and she advises Martin to get back together with Lucy. Martin takes Tracy’s advice and goes to find Lucy. Martin hears Lucy tell Scott that she has been more herself with him then with any other man. Martin tells Lucy what Tracy told him and tells Lucy that despite Tracy’s manipulation she was right about her connection with Scott.

Tracy later tells Gregory that her friendship with him is making her nice and she doesn’t like it.

Anna decides to accept the job as Police Commissioner so John Cates won’t be able to stop her from trying to find out who shot Curtis. Anna tells John if he wants the PCPD to cooperate with the FBI then he will have to share everything he has learned about the case.

Sonny asks Brick to investigate all of his employees because he thinks one of them is working with the person who tried to shoot him and Ava in Puerto Rico. Brick thinks it’s Dex. Sonny tells him if Dex is the traitor, he will make him pay. Dex tells Michael that someone shot at Sonny and Ava while they were in Puerto Rico. Dex tells Michael Sonny thinks there is a traitor in his organization. Michael asks Dex to find out who the traitor is and let him know what he finds out. Michael tells Dex this will be risky since Sonny can’t find out that he is trying to find the traitor in his organization. Michael transfers money into Dex’s bank account to compensate him for the extra risk involved with his new assignment.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

mm. Okay. Okay. O-okay. What — what is this? What we’ve always wanted. You know, I can’t for the life of me imagine why you should suddenly find the need to unburden your conscience. But like I said, I’m just not up for it right now. What, you want me to say you were right? Fine. You were right. I’ve ended things with lucy. There. We’re done now. I mean, unless, of course, you want to discuss some obscure point of law, in which case you’re just gonna have to phone my office. I’m the reason you and lucy broke up. This is special agent john cates. I need a car at the city hall station of the pcpd. Yeah, I want to transport a couple of detainees. Thanks. I, uh, n eed to know wherethey’re holding jordan ashford and anna devane. Robert scorpio. My god, look what the cat dragged in. Jagger cates. Ah, it’s john now. Been a while. You look good. Better than the last time you saw me. Yeah. I heard you recovered from the cancer well. Robin and i stay in touch. Although it’s been a few months since we caught up. How is she? Oh, they’re doing great out there, saving lives. Noah’s captain of the soccer team, and emma, she’s an intern at berkeley astrophysics center. Why doesn’t it surprise me that robin’s daughter is a genius? Glad to hear they’re all doing so well. It’s good to see you, robert. You too. What brings you to port charles?

[ Suspenseful music plays ] So, this is where special agent cates is requiring we detain you. Oh, yeah, of course he is. Have you forgotten we get a phone call? I’ll check on that. Okay? Right.

[ Exhales sharply ] How far is your special agent “friend” cates gonna push these obstruction charges? Ugh, lord knows. Maybe we should just tell him what we know. He’d be interested to learn that the buyer for the weapons is someone in port charles. Well, we can’t give up our intel. Then we lose our leverage. If we want to be involved in this investigation, jordan, then we have to keep what we know to ourselves. Well, we won’t have much time to investigate while we’re being arraigned in federal court. I’m just hoping that our friends will intervene. Friends like me? Glad to hear the meeting went well, drew. No, no, there’s no need for you to come back. Everyone’s left for the day. I’m just wrapping up a couple things myself. Alright. Looking forward to it. Bye-bye.

[ Door slams ]

[ Dramatic music plays ] What are you doing here? Someone tried to kill your father. Thanks for coming by so quickly. Sounded urgent. Yep. It is.

[ Sighs ] I’m here to help with whatever you need. I know you’re going through a lot right now. I need people I can trust.

I’m in port charles working on a case. Murder, attempted murder, stolen weapons… sounds serious. It is. But on a lighter note — I hear you’re the da now. Congratulations. Yeah, well, you know, you know me. I like to keep moving, so to speak. Which brings me to the matter of why I’m here. I understand that anna was arrested. Thought I’d sort that little mess out, and then, uh, three of us get together. It’s been a while. I’m sure she’d love to see you. I doubt that. I’m the one who arrested her.

[ Dramatic music plays ] Who told you we were in custody? Well, nikolas cassadine is back in town. He turned himself in. I brought him in for booking, and the desk sergeant told me you were down here. What’s going on? Uh, feds arrested us for obstruction charge. Really?! What happened with that? Eh, we tangled with them while following a lead. You did? Well, I’m gonna need a little more information than that. We were trying to keep the pcpd’s hands clean while we gathered some extra information. Right. But too late, right? ‘Cause here you are in a pcpd jail. Look, I can’t override the feds, but if I’m gonna help sort this out at all, you got to tell me what happened. Start from the beginning. Tell me everything. It all goes back to your father. Someone close to me targeted me and my family in puerto rico. So, you think the shooter’s somebody you know? Has to be, ’cause they had intimate knowledge of my island. They — they knew how to get through security. They knew how to, you know — where my men were, where my men weren’T. That kind of information is not easy to get, so it’s got to be somebody I trust. So, your theory is somebody on the inside was the shooter, or was working with the shooter? That’s the only thing I can think of. No one on the outside has any access whatsoever to your security plans. Hell, even some of your own men don’t know. That’s right. Who the hell could it be? I personally vetted every single person that works for you. Then I guess I got to question the source.

[ Dramatic music plays ] What?! You think I’m behind this? Do you?! After we realized the shooter had gotten away, sonny didn’t feel safe on the island, so we came back to port charles. Well, hold on. Everyone’s okay, though, right? I mean, m-my dad and ava? And avery. Avery didn’t see anything, did she? Everyone’s fine. Fortunately, avery was in her room with her bodyguard the whole time, and she never even realized anything was wrong.

[ Sighs ] Well, that’s good, at least. H-how could someone get close enough to sonny to — to shoot at him in his own house with avery there? And… and why is this the first I’m hearing about it? He probably didn’t tell you ’cause he didn’t want to worry you. See, this is exactly why I wanted you to keep working for him. So you could let me know when things start to spiral for sonny. And it sounds like it’s happening now. This is gregory chase. I need to make an appointment with the doctor as soon as possible. He’s expecting my call. Yes, I can hold. You know what? I get it. You and lucy don’t like each other. I understand. What I’m telling you is, if you want to gloat, to bask in her misfortune, you better have the decency to do it someplace else. My relationship issues have nothing to do with you. But they do. With me

and with scott.

[ Sighs ] Tracy, I’m telling you, I want to be alone. Just… it’s none of your business! The trouble with you and lucy started when I came and warned you about her and scott. I’m the one that put it in your head that their tawdry history has a habit of repeating itself. What kind of game are you playing? I’m not playing a game. I’m trying to stop the games. I am trying to be honest with you. I have been manipulating you. I’ve been misleading you. In what way?

[ Sighing ] Oh… I don’t want to bore you with the details, but I got wind of the fact that lucy and scott were plotting against me. They wanted me to fall for scott. Why the hell would they do that? I think it must have something to do with deception. So when I found out, I turned the tables and I started manipulating them, and thereby you. My intention was only to get revenge on lucy. And then you got swept up in it, and… …I’m so sorry. Selfish, self-centered… of all the hateful… how the hell could you do something like that? Oh, believe me, I’ve done worse. So, you have a choice now that you know the truth. You can either waste your time berating me, or you can use it more wisely and try to get lucy back.

[ Gasps ] Oh, my god. What did I just do? Oh! This was amazi– a disaster! Huh?

[ Sighs ]

Lucy’s not picking up. Well, what did you expect, her to jump at your call? You just broke up with her. Try again. That’s the third call in a row. Obviously, she doesn’t want to talk to me. And I can’t say as I blame her. I’m an idiot. I let someone like you poison my relationship. I wouldn’t be surprised if she ever forgives me. Well, if you give up this easily, maybe she shouldn’T. Why don’t you stop wallowing and figure out a way to get her to listen to you? You know what? Do me a favor. Don’t help. You’ve done enough already. Then again, I can’t stop thinking that if it was that easy for you to turn the two of us against one another, then maybe it’s not meant to be after all. Well, that’s between you and lucy. I, for one, think you can do a lot better than her. But for some unfathomable reason, you are in love with her, so…

[Exhales sharply] You deserve the truth.

After the damage is done? That’s what I don’t understand — why? I mean, you got what you wanted. Revenge. You blew up my relationship with lucy. Why confess now? Why indeed? How did this just happen? How? How? How? How? What — what — what were we thinking? I mean, really, what was i thinking? How in the world did we just end up here again? Well, hang on, lucy. You’re single. I’m single. We didn’t do anything wrong. Right. Right. I mean, technically, i am single because marty just broke up with me. But, I mean, I just ended up with another man in be– well, it wasn’t really in bed, was it? It was horizontal behind a haystack! Hay…hay bale. Excuse me? It’s a hay bale. Not a haystack. Who cares?! Hay bale, haystack. I just had… sex with another man when the love of my life just broke up with me —

just. I am not particularly proud of this! Lucy… you are very emotional. All those things that martin said to you… come on. It’s not like we planned this. Right. It just sort of happened ’cause I was emotional and I was devastated and — and — and — and — and very, very, very, very hurt. Um, so you’re right. You were here, and it just happened. It felt familiar. You know what? You better be honest with yourself, and you sure as hell better start being honest with me, damn it!

[ Gasps ] After anna and jordan refused to disclose whatever information they had about the unsub, I had no choice but to arrest them. They’re hiding something, robert. Look. Yeah, I get it that you got a job to do here, but if anna… well, you know anna. If she’s prepared to go to these lengths to check this out, then you’ve got to know that she’s got a good reason. Too much is at stake here. I need to clear this case, and anna and jordan are both getting in my way. Jordan ignored my warning, and then she and anna joined forces and cost me my best lead. How’d they do that? The gun dealer lawyered up and isn’t talking. They admit that they learned something from him, but they won’t say what. So you think that throwing them in jail on an obstruction charge is going to help? Whatever it takes. They’re both former law enforcement. They understand that time is of the essence in a case like this. But anna’s more interested in protecting sonny corinthos. Yeah. Don’t start me on him. I mean, we’re both on the same page when it comes to that guy. Agreed. Look, as the da, I understand the position you’re in. I appreciate that. But I have to insist that you drop the charges. I get you want to investigate who shot curtis. He’s your ex-husband. You want that shooter to pay. Yeah. Curtis could be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Whoever did that to him should be behind bars. I agree with you. The problem is the feds told you to back off, and instead you went and got anna involved. Yeah, I didn’t need convincing. Could have easily been me that was hit that day and not curtis. I know, look, I get it. I get it. I just…I wish you guys had come to me. We didn’t want to involve you or anyone else into a fight with the feds. Well, it would have been better than this. Now you’re in a cell facing serious criminal charges, are you not? Yeah, well, if we had just had a few more minutes with the gun dealer, this would all be moot point. He was on the verge of talking to us when the fbi burst in. We were so close to identifying the person who shot curtis. Did you manage to get anything? Well, you did get one piece of intel that we can use. Answer me, sonny. You think I’m behind this? Hey, wait a minute. We’ve known each other a long time. Yes. I can always count on you. That’s why I asked you to be second in command. And I gladly accepted the position and all that it entails. Yes, I know that. But I’ve been in this business a long time, and I know people have a breaking point. And if you were ever in a position like that, I would hope that you would come to me before you did anything you shouldn’t do. Of course I would! You and I have been through entirely too much together for me to ever even think about doing anything against you! I didn’t think it was you. I just — I just had to make sure, you know? With all these people that are close to me… it’s making me question everything. You understand? I understand. If I were in your position, I’d do the same thing. So we’re good? Yeah. We’re good. But… …in the spirit of honesty… I’ve got a confession to make.

I did a favor for jordan ashford. Since when do you work for the cops? I don’T. Never have, never will. But jordan isn’t a part of the pcpd any longer. She hasn’t been a cop for a while, and now she owes me a favor whenever I ask, no questions asked. Somebody in the mayor’s office owing you is… could be good down the line. It’s exactly what I was thinking. But it still doesn’t help us figure out who the rat in my organization is. No. It doesn’T. Based on the intricacy of the attack, along with how easily the shooter escaped from puerto rico… this isn’t a result of some person just shooting off at the mouth loosely or let some information slip. This wasn’t a mistake or an accident. Somebody I trust… wants me dead. Yeah. Sonny doesn’t know you’re here? He doesn’T. But he isn’t going to tell me to keep this from you, so I’m not going behind his back here. Between the shooting and spencer dying so unexpectedly, sonny’s been going nonstop. I don’t think he’s had time to process either of those things yet. You know, my first instinct is to [Scoffs] Go see my father, but I don’t think I’m welcome in his house right now. I can’t speak on your relationship with your father. That’s between you two. That’s why I made the decision not to… turn him into the feds. I started working on our reconciliation, and I… we made it. At least, I think we did. I mean, things were good between us in puerto rico. That’s why I couldn’t — I couldn’t bring myself to tell him the truth about what nina did, because it would break his heart. And I also knew that he would take it as me telling him that he was wrong to choose nina over my mom, and… I mean, sonny — sonny claims that he’s angry at me because… I kept quiet about what nina did. But he’s more angry because I was right about her all along. As we surmised, the shooting at metro court was an attempt on sonny’s life, but it is a smaller piece of a much larger case. Well, how do you know that? Because the agent who arrested us gave us a piece of intel. So, apparently the feds are investigating this string of killings that has been committed using the cache of weapons stolen from the wsb. Now, they believe that it is a single person responsible for these murders and that all the victims have something in common, but he just wouldn’t give up what that is. There’s something else you two should know as well. There was another attempt made on sonny’s life a few days ago at his island. Is he okay? Was anyone hurt? Yeah, he’s fine. Everyone’s fine. But whoever this is obviously wants to finish the job. And we’re stuck in this cell, unable to help. Dante, can you get us out of here? Please? Why, so you can run around town investigating again and put yourselves in harm’s way again? Oh, come on, the feds don’t want to work with anyone else on this. And besides, sonny isn’t exactly their favorite person anyway. We are in a much better position to help him. We can’t just sit in here while someone makes an attempt on his life. No, I know, I know, I know. I’ll talk to robert, see if I can get you arraigned and released tonight. Thank you. Don’t make me regret it. Not you too, robert. You’re the district attorney. You should understand better than anyone why no one can be above the law. Look at this! Something we agree on. Look. Anna’s the mother of my child. We’re always going to have each other’s backs. So, I ask you… let them go. I hear you, but I need whatever anna and jordan are hiding. If I let them walk, I’m left with nothing. You drop the charges, I’ll get them to share whatever they know with you. You really think you can get her to do that? Oh, yeah. Anna responds better to those who are on her good side. Lucy, you can deny this all you want, but there’S… there’s something between us. Come on. That [Snaps fingers] Spark that we had years ago, it’s still here. So why fight it? Me being with you is like me just breathing. Well, our history says otherwise, doesn’t it? I mean, how many times have we cheated on… nice, deserving people with each other? How many — how many times have we schemed? How many lies have we told? How much damage have we done everywhere? And how many times that we have tried to make this — what is this? — This — this relationship work? Every time we fail! Well, you know why? Maybe that’s because all of that didn’t matter… until now. Now. This is our time. Okay. I’ll admit I feel close to you… and I am more of my real self… with you than anybody else. Okay. Then stop fighting it. Oh!

Mar– marty. What are you doing here? Apparently interrupting. Yeah, buster. We’re busy. I can see that. I don’t have to ask what you are doing here. Oh, really? You know what? You don’t get a say. Because you just broke up with me. Remember? You don’t get to say what I do! For god’s sakes, lucy! We just broke up, what, 15 minutes ago?! Of course, what you do still matters to me. And for your information, I came here to tell you I was wrong… that I made a mistake when I said we were over. ‘Cause it turns out that all of our problems were manufactured — by tracy quartermaine. Sorry if I kept you waiting. Call took longer than I expected. It’s fine. Ahh. A-are we still on for dinner? Actually, I’d rather not. Uh, if this is about me, uh, leaving you alone for so long, I apologize. No, no, no, no. But it couldn’t be helped. It’s fine. I just — I’ve… I’ve lost my appetite. Okay. Okay. Something’s going on here. Um, if you want to deal with it all alone, I’ll go. No questions asked. But I saw that, uh, you and martin grey were having A… rather, uh, animated discussion. And, uh, I’m here for you if you want to talk about whatever happened with him that’s got you so upset. I don’t have a problem with martin. I have a problem with you. I appreciate how close you and anna are, and I understand you wanting to look out for her, but nothing you do will matter if anna and jordan keep interfering in my investigation. Look. You release them to me. I will take personal responsibility for their supervision. I hope you know what you’re doing. Yeah. Fine. I will extend you this one-time professional courtesy and drop the charges against anna and jordan, provided you keep them in line. Look. I know you’re in a tough position. I owe you one.

[ Chuckles ] I just got to admit — if you had told me when I was running around port charles causing trouble that one day the D.A. Would ask me for a favor, I never would have believed you. People change. You should be proud of the man you’ve become. Hey. Sorry to interrupt. Can I steal the D.A. For a minute? Sure. Uh, I just came from talking with anna and jordan. Well, we had a little talk to the fbi, and, uh, they’re gonna drop the charges. Really? Wow. That’s great. Yeah. Hey. Let’s get together before you leave town. Looking forward to it. Hey. We haven’t met. I’m detective dante falconeri. Falconeri. You’re sonny corinthos’ son. Yeah. Yeah. And who are you? I’m special agent john cates. You were right to start off by looking at the people closest to you. It takes people with the right kind of knowledge to pull a job off like this. I would start off with frank, gabe, and dex. Don’t be surprised if you don’t find anything on dex. Dex hasn’t been the most transparent person with you, sonny. You know what? He’s been loyal to me repeatedly. He got shot saving my life when we were ambushed. If tony hadn’t come back, he’d be dead right now. H-he also did a really good job in puerto rico. He let me know when the guard was knocked out and for me and ava to take cover. There can be a simple explanation for this, you know. Whoever’s doing this, I mean, they got to deflect attention away from themself, right? Maybe he put the wheels in motion so he could come to the rescue and save the day for you and ava. That way, he looks like the hero, he provides himself some cover, he turns around, and then, ultimately, you feel gratitude towards him. And maybe, just maybe, you allow him even more access into your operation. Well, that sounds like smart play, but the thing is, you know, we don’t know if it’s dex and we don’t have evidence of that, do we? Dex was coordinating with the head of the security on the island. Plus, he’s the one that found the shooter’s hideout. I’m just saying. It fits. I’m not saying that stuff isn’t important, but I know that sonny is only worried about keeping his family safe. Yeah, which means finding the person behind the attack. Are there any leads? I mean, how close is sonny to finding the person who tried to kill him? His theory is that it’s someone on the inside. Well, then there’s a way I can help my father. How? You.

Do you know how to get out? You’re right. I mean, it’spossible dex is a traitor. But he doesn’t really know a lot about my business. That means he would have had to get access elsewhere. Dex doesn’t need to know all the inner workings of the organization, sonny. He just needs to know when, where, and how you’re the most vulnerable. Like I told you before, he’s, you know — he’s gone above and beyond. I offered him a job that I wouldn’t trust many people to do because it would have bound him for the rest of his life. And guess what. He didn’t even blink. He’d have gone through with it if I didn’t stop him. I get it. You like the kid. You exposed him to a lot of sensitive things. He came through. But here’s the question. Is it possible how you’re feeling is exactly what he wanted you to feel? I want to find out who’s after sonny just as much as you do, michael. ‘Cause as long as he’s in danger, so is his family. And I don’t want anything happening to joss or anyone she loves. I will do everything in my power to keep you all safe. Good. Because if sonny’s right and someone on the inside is working against him… look, dex, you are in the perfect position to find out who it is. Sonny hasn’t asked me to look into anyone in the organization yet. You can be discreet. He never has to know. It’s risky. Look, if sonny catches me, he could assume that I’m the traitor trying to cover up my tracks. Make sure he never finds out. Look, dex, you are the best at this, and I will gladly pay you extra for the risk that you’re taking. I thought dante would be back with an update by now. Well, I’m sure he’s moving as fast as he can. Ha! You guys got yourselves into a bit of a situation, have we? Don’t gloat, robert, please. Did you talk to dante? Yes. I got good news and bad news. What is it? Thanks to my incredible powers of persuasion, cates has agreed to, uh, drop the charges. Oh. That’s great. Thank you. What’s the bad news? You’ve got to back off this investigation. Oh, come on. We were just making progress. Yeah. No. We are going to find out who is behind this entire operation. We’re not gonna stop now. You might as well stay in this cell ’cause cates isn’t gonna give you another chance. Look. You’re civilians. You have no right being involved in this business. I mean, you’ve got no power. What are you gonna do if you catch this perp? You can’t do anything with him. You may as well cooperate with cates. Maybe I will do exactly that. Meaning…? The conversation I had with mayor collins last week. Laura offered me a position in her administration. But the timing wasn’t right. And I think the timing has just changed. I don’t understand. How could you have a problem with me? All I’ve ever done is try to be a friend to you. That’s my problem. Gregory, your friendship is changing me, and I don’t like it. Changing you. How? Ever since I met you, I have been getting… soft. I surrender in feuds. I compromise with the — ugh. The bensonhurst brigade. I’m trying to help people that I don’t even like. Making donations to grieving widows? It’s poor form to ask a lady about her finances. But if I did… it is a direct result of your influence. Being around you… is making me nice. Is that really so bad? Oh, well, that’s easy for you to say. You don’t have to live with the consequences.

[ Gasps ] Oh, my god! I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. That’s not what I meant. It came out wrong. It came out wrong. I wasn’t thinking. I…

[ Laughing ] What does tracy have to do with any of this? Well, it turns out, for weeks now, she’s been intentionally feeding me little tidbits of information — about you and your history and your relationship with scott — because she wanted to poison the well. She wanted me to doubt you, make me believe that you were being unfaithful to me. What?! Yeah, that was my reaction when she accosted me in the restaurant just now. Some kind of attempt to unburden her conscience. She mentioned something about turning the tables on you two because she realized that you were plotting against her. Lucy, I didn’T… the plan was foolproof. Oh, that conniving snake! What, you think? Because from where I’m standing, she wasn’t far wrong. Yeah. I mean, obviously you’ve been hiding parts of yourself from me, and he’s had full access. You two have been getting closer and closer together while we’ve been drifting apart? No, that’s not true. You — you know me really well. You do. And we’re very, very good together. I — I don’t know what this was. This was just some sort of mistake, that’s all. It was just a big mistake. No. It was! The mistake was me coming here asking you for forgiveness. It was so easy for her to manipulate us. All she had to do was use your nature against you. Oh, come on. That’s not — that’s not true. Please. Could we just go somewhere and talk together? Because I know — I know I can make it right. I… I love you. Yeah, well… that’s what makes this so sad. Because I love you, too. But… I’m all talked out. Matter of fact, right now… I don’t think I ever want to see you again.

[ Breathing sharply ] Cates. Relation to stone cates? I have a son named stone, but I believe you’re referring to my younger brother. So that’s how you know my father. Yeah, he — he used to talk a lot about stone. I guess they were — they were really close. Yeah. They were. You and sonny go way back, then? We have plenty of history. And now you’re the fbi agent in charge of a case that involves my father.

[ Door opens ] Well, I take it this means you’ve accepted my terms. Actually, no. I’m not stepping back from the case. I’m gonna continue to investigate. As the new police commissioner.

He can’t even stand to be in the same room with me. He — he couldn’t really even look at me. Lucy. So what? He wouldn’t even hear you out. You deserve better than him. Okay? No, I don’T. He — he just broke up with me, and somehow I end up in your arms. So he is right. I am a horrible, horrible person. That’s not true, lucy. Come on. Listen to me for a second here. Would you just leave? Lucy. Get out now! Now! Leave! Leave!

[Laughing] Ohh. I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time. Thank you, tracy. I don’t understand what’s so funny. Oh, well… ever since I was diagnosed with als… well, people have been tiptoeing around me, being so proper and polite and… and handling me with kid gloves like I’m gonna break at any moment. I hate it! I didn’t realize how much I needed someone to talk to me like I wasn’t sick until you said that.

[ Laughs ] Oh, man. You know I didn’t mean it the way it came out. Well, even if you did, I’m — I’m fine with it.

[ Laughs ] I may have a fatal disease, but I’m still the same old gregory on the inside. And it’s just so nice to have someone talk to me like — like I’m normal.

[ Laughs ] I — I appreciate it more than you know. So no matter how nice you may have become, I hope you never stop doing that. I will do my best.

[ Chuckles ] Since when are you the police commissioner? Mayor collins asked me if I wanted my old position back, and I told her, “I need to think about it,” which I did — when I was stuck in the cell. And I accepted that job. So you can continue to undermine my investigation? No. So I can hunt down the threat to port charles in my new capacity is law enforcement, and no one can stand in my way. So if you want the pcpd’s help, special agent cates, you’re gonna have to give us the fbi’s help in return. We can’t count anyone out as a suspect. I need you to look into everybody in my organization. And that includes dex. I’ll get right on it. I know you’re fond of dex. So for your sake, I’m hoping I jumped to the wrong conclusion. But, sonny… this is me. You know, I’m rarely wrong about stuff like this. I’ll find out if dex is hiding something. The money’s in your account now. I appreciate it, but this isn’t about the money. I just want to keep joss and her family safe… and stay in sonny’s good graces. I mean, if he even gets a hint that I came on with an ulterior motive — he won’T. He won’T. Look, dex. We both want the same thing here. Just find out who the threat is to sonny and the rest of my family and report everything you learn back to me, okay? You can count on it.

[ Exhales heavily ] So, what will you do to dex if you find out he hasn’t been loyal after all? I’ll make him beg for death. Yeah.

NEWS INTERRUPTED THE SHOW TODAY – WE’LL GET THE MISSING PART FROM ON DEMAND

Eric: Yes, yes, thank you very much. Yeah, thanks.

Donna: Caterer’s all set.

Eric: I– I love how they’re ready to go at a moment’s notice. It’s terrific.

Donna: Well, they’re not the only ones, mr. Insta-party.

Eric: Yeah, well, we have a lot to celebrate. I won’t deny that.

Donna: I know, eric. Your progress is remarkable and it’s wonderful, but you’re not all the way back. And I worry about you taking on too much too soon and this party could be–

Eric: This party is exactly what the doctor ordered, even if he didn’t actually say it. Donna, I love that you worry about me. Thank you. But I want you to stop, okay? We’re gonna have a party tonight and it’s a party to celebrate the beginning of the rest of our lives together.

Donna: Okay.

Brooke: Oh, it’s good to see you smile again.

Ridge: This was a rough road. My dad getting sick. And me having to make decisions for him. I’m just glad it’s behind us.

Brooke: Yeah, he’s on the road to recovery.

Ridge: Yeah.

Carter: You wanted to see me?

Ridge: Yes. Finn came by the house and the treatment’s working. Dad’s doing great.

Carter: Oh, man, that’s incredible, ridge. I can’t tell you how long I’ve been waiting to hear this news.

Ridge: I know, I know.

Rj: You know what I think? I think we deserve a medal. Or a comp day, at least. You know, I can’t believe the discipline and the restraint it took us to leave the beach house this morning. I mean, seriously, like, honestly, what do you have to do to win a statue around here, really? Seriously, though, that was the best first night in a new place, ever.

Luna: It was perfect. You were perfect. I’m so glad I waited for you. The man I love.

Rj: You know, I really did not want to get out of bed this morning. You know, the only reason that I did was to speak to my grandfather about the whole party, celebrating his positive prognosis, which is a party that you, my dear, are invited to.

Luna: I know. I’m blown away. I mean, a beach house in malibu and now a forrester family party? And you? None of this feels real.

Rj: Well, get used to it. It’s your life.

Luna: By the way, I– I texted my mom and she’s on her way over here. I’ve never stayed out all night before, so I don’t know how she’s going to react, but I’m not gonna worry about that. Because last night with you was everything and more than I could have ever dreamed my first time would be like. And that’s all I want to think about right now.

Zende: Granddad, that is such great news. And I got your text. What’s this about a party?

Eric: Oh, we’re gonna celebrate. We’re going to celebrate life, you know? No more wasting time. Letting time slip away. You know? There’s uh– not one day is actually promised to any one of us. Not one day. I don’t want to waste another second. Not another moment that I could be spending with my beautiful donna.

Carter: I can’t wait to congratulate eric on the amazing news.

Ridge: You don’t have to wait. There’s a party tonight and you’re invited.

Katie: Yeah, I just heard from donna. She texted me. And I’m thrilled that eric got positive news from finn and the medical team, but should we be having a party? He just got out of the hospital.

Carter: She has a point.

Brooke: I agree.

Ridge: I do too, but dad has set his mind on it, so try changing it.

Katie: All right, I guess we’re having a party.

When your gut is

out of balance,

Ridge: Dad’s gonna be okay. That’s good.

Katie: Why am I hearing a but?

Ridge: Because I’m not sure that he should be having a party right now. I don’t know if he has the stamina for it.

Carter: Is there any chance that eric might consider putting it off?

[ Brooke laughs ]

Brooke: Really? Have you met eric?

Katie: Mm. Very true.

Donna: Hi.

Brooke: I’m surprised to see you here.

Donna: Well, um, eric wanted me to spread the news about tonight.

MISSING PART HERE

Eric: The forrester men. What a club. And you’re a card-carrying member too, carter.

Carter: Well, I’m honored, I’m honored. And it’s so good to hear about your prognosis, eric.

Eric: Thank you.

Ridge: We heard about your party, too?

Eric: Yes, yeah. You’re coming, right?

Carter: I wouldn’t miss it.

Eric: Good. I’m glad to hear it. Look, I’d like to talk to the two of you in private. Excuse us for a minute. Come here. I wanna talk to you.

Ridge: Okay.

Zende: Granddad’s really making his way back.

Rj: Yeah. No, it’s amazing with, uh, everything he’s been through. It’s really impressive. It’s not surprising, though. ‘Cause he is our grandfather, right?

Zende: Yeah. Hey, rj, I realize that things have been tense between us lately. I just wanted to say, for what it’s worth, I meant what I said. Luna is remarkable. She is a unique, talented, very beautiful woman. And you, cousin, you’re an insanely lucky man.

Poppy: I’ve never seen you quite like this. You’re all lit from within.

Luna: I’ve– I’ve never felt like this before. I didn’t even know that this was possible.

Poppy: Love looks beautiful on you, honey. And that’s what you’re telling me, right? That you’re in love with rj?

Luna: Yeah. I mean, how could I not be? Rj’s, like, the most incredible man ever. And last night, mom, last night was just perfect. I mean, first of all, the beach house. Like, don’t even get me started on that.

Poppy: It is quite a place. I mean, you couldn’t design a more romantic setting.

Luna: And rj made it even more so. I mean, he had the table set, candles lit, my favorite food delivered. The sound of the waves crashing in the back.

Rj: I love you.

Luna: I love you too. I’m just– I’m really happy that I waited to be with the man I love. And I do, mom. I love rj so much. (Vo) welcome to lobsterfest. Is your party ready?

Rj: No, believe me, I– I know how lucky I am to be with luna. I’ll tell you something else. I’m never gonna let her go.

Poppy: Why would I be happy for you? You moved to L.A. With a suitcase and a dream. Alone. No connections. Right, well, I guess you had your aunt li, but I know she doesn’t count. Then you had finn, but you didn’t ask him to pave your way. In fact, you didn’t even tell him you were here. Instead, you just marched right into forrester creations and you got yourself an internship. And if that wasn’t enough, you found love along the way. With a kind and decent man who doesn’t even try to hide how much he adores you. No, I’m not happy for you, luna. I am ecstatic. And I’m so very, very proud.

Luna: I can’t believe this is my life. And it’s all because of you, mom.

Poppy: Me? I didn’t do anything.

Luna: I mean, all of your encouragements. Ever since I was little. “You’re the best, luna. You’re the smartest, luna.” And here I am, in L.A., Living my best life, working at forrester creations. Taking night-time strolls in malibu with the best man in the world. And that’s what I’m most grateful for. The love that I’m experiencing with rj. It’s– it’s the greatest gift.

Rj: I just want to tell you too, you know, I know that we haven’t been seeing things the same way recently. And I just want you to know that I really value you. And, I mean, not just as a designer, and zende, you’re an incredible designer, you know that. But, as my cousin, you know? You’re family. That’s– that’s never gonna change.

Zende: I appreciate that.

Ridge: Here’s a big shocker. The party is still on.

Zende: Was there ever any doubt?

Eric: No.

Ridge: Tried to talk him out of it, at least wait a couple of weeks to gain some strength.

Carter: And ridge got nowhere.

Eric: And why would we? Why would we do that? Not do the party and then tomorrow I could be walking by that portrait, it could fall on my head.

Ridge: That’s not very likely, but…

Eric: Yeah, it could happen.

Ridge: It could happen. So, I mean, look what happened to me a couple of months ago. Designing, and then my hand starts shaking, and I can’t work, and then I– I need all the help I can get. And– and donna helps me, and then I get finn to help me, and then I see stephanie, I go to the other side, and I see her and– and I told donna, that’s it. That’s it. From now on, I’m living my life a different way. It’s carpe diem, every day.

Ridge: Okay, all right. You wanna have a party, we’re gonna have a party. I told you, we’re gonna do it. Okay?

Eric: Okay.

Ridge: I think I speak for everyone if I say we’re gonna have a party with you as often as we can.

Carter: Hear, hear.

Zende: Absolutely.

Rj: Hey, granddad, we love you.

Donna: I just can’t help being concerned about eric.

Katie: We understand what you’re going through. You’ve been traumatized. Eric’s sudden illness. You thought he was gonna die, but he’s gonna be fine now.

Donna: Yeah.

Brooke: He just needs a little bit more time, and he’ll be back to the eric that we all adore.

Donna: Yeah. Yeah, I just– I just love him so much, you know? And he’s just always been the one for me.

Eric: You are beautiful.

Donna: It’s about time your handsome face hung above the fireplace.

Eric: Wow.

[ Chuckling ] Look at that.

Katie: Well, you and eric have definitely stood the test of time.

Brooke: You have a beautiful and colorful history together. And you have been so devoted to him.

Donna: I would do anything for my honey bear.

Katie: Ah.

[ Brooke chuckles ]

Donna: I just want as much time as possible with him. That’s all. As much time as possible.

Eric: I’m proud to be a member of this group right here. The love and support that I have felt from all of you through all of this has meant more to me than you can know. But I’m not leaving you yet. I have a lot more living to do. Tonight is the beginning of the rest of my life.

Days Update Monday, February 5, 2024

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Johnny and Chanel sit together in the living room of the DiMera Mansion in front of the fireplace, talking about how peaceful this is. Johnny recalls when he was a kid, he was scared to come in to the living room at night out of fear that the ghosts of his DiMera ancestors would take him to the crypt. Chanel jokes about those being the same spirits cursing getting married in to the DiMera family. Johnny states that it could be so Chanel asks if he’s really scared about getting married.

Abe brings Paulina home. She thanks him for the evening, calling it great food and even better company. Abe says he had a wonderful time and kisses her. Paulina points out that the night doesn’t have to end and invites him inside. Paulina then says goodnight but Abe stops her.

Everett and Stephanie lay in bed together. Everett can’t believe she’s here again in his arms. Everett says for two years, he had this same dream over and over, so he calls tonight his dream come true. Everett exclaims that they are out of the friend zone.

Tripp and Wendy sit together in the town square, discussing a movie they saw. Wendy remarks that she knows a thing or two about meddling moms, so Tripp asks what his mom has done now.

Ava and Stefan lay in bed together after having sex. Stefan comments that it happened twice and it was incredible, but calls it a big frickin mistake.

In the park, John warns Konstantin that he doesn’t want to play games with him and asks what he wants. Konstantin thanks him for coming and tells him to sit down because they are going to talk. John demands to know what he wants and questions why he pretended to be a new client just to get him out here. Konstantin says John wouldn’t have come if he knew it was him. John talks about having trouble tracking him down. John orders Konstantin to tell him everything he knows about The Pawn. Konstantin responds that he doesn’t play chess. John tells him that Steve told him everything, so he wants to know what he knows right now. John asks if this is about Stefano. Konstantin says it’s about Victor and his Pawn.

Johnny tells Chanel that Italian families can be pretty superstitious and talks about his ancestors wearing a lucky Devil’s Horn charm to ward off the Evil Eye. Johnny adds that they say it’s bad luck to have a pet bird in the house, to leave a loaf of bread upside down, and the number 13. Johnny says when a newlywed couple moves in to a house, it has to be exorcised or blessed to ward off evil spirits of the previous owners. Johnny adds that a cat sneezing in their presence is good luck. Chanel laughs about it and asks if Johnny actually believes all that stuff. Johnny acknowledges that his family’s history is riddled with women who have been heartbroken or messed up from marrying a DiMera. Johnny brings up what happened the last time they got married. Chanel admits that did leave her pretty messed up and heartbroken. Johnny suggests maybe they should just be happy being with each other. Johnny declares that he loves her too much to risk ruining her life by marrying him again.

Everett tells Stephanie that when he came to Salem and tracked her down, he didn’t really know what to expect because he had been obsessively looking at pictures and videos of her from two years ago. Everett talks about seeing her in person again and still being surprised at how beautiful she was. Stephanie recalls seeing him in Salem and thinking there’s the guy that she was so madly in love with. Stephanie admits she was shocked, but it was hard to stop herself from running in to his arms. Stephanie says she was mad that he disappeared, but relieved that it wasn’t his choice and that he found her again. Stephanie adds that she was committed to someone else and living with Chad, so that stopped her from acting on how she actually felt. Stephanie says that’s the reason she was able to show such remarkable restraint until tonight as they kiss. Everett asks if she’s hungry. Stephanie says she’s starving so they agree on ordering room service.

Wendy tells Tripp that her mom comment flew out of her mouth and she shouldn’t have said anything but Tripp says that she can’t take it back now and asks about it. Wendy explains that Ava cornered her in the apartment and grilled her, questioning her commitment to Tripp and warning her not to break his heart. Tripp tells her that he’s so sorry. Wendy acknowledges that Tripp said his mom was a handful which Tripp calls nothing new. Tripp is riled up that Ava would talk to her like that behind his back. Tripp says he loves his mom but he’ll never understand why she does some of the things that she does.

Stefan brings up Gabi and how she was completely supportive of his fake affair with Ava as long as it stayed fake. Stefan questions what he has done and what is wrong with him. Stefan then asks Ava what’s wrong with her. Ava blames Stefan for coming over while Stefan blames Ava winding him up with the phone sex talk. Ava says Stefan opened up more wine while Stefan argues that Ava suggested doing shots. Ava decides they are both responsible as they were vulnerable and it was a big screw up. Ava says they have to figure out a way to put this all behind them and there’s nothing to figure out. Ava declares that no one can ever know the truth.

Chanel doesn’t get Johnny’s sudden panic about getting married. Johnny assures that he loves her and doesn’t want to wait but he doesn’t want anything to happen to her. Johnny says she can make fun of curses and superstitions, but he was possessed by the Devil. Johnny doesn’t know if he wants her taking this kind of risk. Chanel calls life in general pretty risky. Chanel says if the Devil couldn’t keep them apart, then the DiMeras can’t. Chanel believes they just have to love each other and be honest and that will keep them safe. Chanel assures that she has zero worries about them walking down the aisle, but now suddenly he does. Johnny feels it’s not that sudden, just the more he thinks about it. Chanel questions if this is really about what Chad said to him or if he’s having second thoughts about something else.

Paulina and Abe lay in bed together. Paulina admits that she’s having deja vu of the times they laid together like this and asks if anything felt familiar to him. Abe says no, but promises that it was wonderful. Paulina guesses it was like the first time for him which he confirms. Abe says the good thing about losing his memory is getting to fall in love with her all over again as they kiss.

Wendy tells Tripp that she told Ava that their opinions are the only ones that matter in their relationship. Tripp is sorry that his mom put her on the spot like that but he’s not surprised that she held her own against her. Wendy adds that Ava once again urged them to take a vacation and even offered to help put one together even though Tripp told her they are not going anywhere. Wendy says Ava really didn’t like when she turned the tables and started quizzing her about how she felt about Harris and Stefan as she totally shut her down. Tripp acknowledges that Ava has been spending a lot of time with Stefan lately which is not a good sign. Tripp doesn’t like Stefan and feels whatever Ava is caught up in is because of Stefan and that he’s using her like a leech.

Stefan agrees with Ava that Gabi and no one else can ever find out the truth. They decide it never happened and Ava says they’ll take it to the grave. Stefan worries that he has more to lose since he’s still married.

John asks Konstantin what the Pawn is to him. Konstantin responds that the Pawn changed his life forever. John asks how and demands to know what Konstantin knows about him and his past. Konstantin wonders what is inside of him, waiting to come out as he can see he has the eyes of a killer. John complains that there’s too many things that he doesn’t remember about his past and now he’s taunting him. Konstantin calls it the least of what he deserves. John then pulls his gun on him and demands Konstantin tell him what he knows right now.

Everett and Stephanie eat room service together. Everett talks about remembering her food preferences which impresses her as they kiss.

Tripp and Wendy see their “Caching Cupid” geocaching event poster in the town square. They talk about hoping it does well. They kiss and then head home.

Stefan doesn’t understand the hold that Harris has on Ava, arguing that they aren’t even together. Stefan then questions if Ava loves Harris. Ava argues that she never said that but Stefan says she’s wearing it on her sleeve. Ava says it doesn’t matter and requests Stefan shut up and finish getting dressed so he can get out of here but Stefan can’t find his shirt.

John warns Konstantin that he won’t hesitate to put a bullet through a man’s eye. Konstantin says or a woman’s either. John questions what that means. Konstantin shouts that John came at him and Catharina got in the way which John questions. Konstantin then reveals the card to him and asks John to tell him what it means and he will go away. John then suddenly drops his gun and puts his hands behind his back, as the card puts him under control. Konstantin asks if he’s okay. John then responds that he’s not John, but he’s been called The Pawn. Konstantin can’t believe he’s found him after all these years, calling him the one that killed Catharina. Konstantin explains that there was a time many years ago in Greece where John came to deliver a message of death. Konstantin declares that someone must pay for that.

Abe acknowledges to Paulina that it’s been awhile since they had been together so he doesn’t remember what she likes and doesn’t like. Paulina assures Abe that he was wonderful then and wonderful now. Paulina states that she sure did miss him as they kiss.

Johnny assures Chanel that he has no second thoughts about marrying her and he just wants to make sure she’s going in to this with her eyes open. Chanel insists that his big, tough family doesn’t scare him. Johnny asks what about his sister. Chanel asks if he really thinks she still has feelings for Allie. Johnny points out that she did choose Allie over him before. Chanel declares that she loved Johnny first and she loves him last, forever. Chanel asks if he doesn’t believe him. Johnny can’t stop thinking about how crazy she and Allie were about each other. Chanel questions if he’s worried that he prefers women and that she’s actually gay.

Stephanie is glowing that it’s been two years for her and Everett. Everett states that he hasn’t been with anybody since he was last with her. Stephanie says he knows her story. Everett jokes that she wasn’t in a coma so she gets a pass. Everett thinks he grew more and more in love with her while they were apart. Everett calls it true love and declares that he has her back, so he’s never ever going to let her go again as he kisses her. Everett decides he should probably start thinking about moving out of the hotel room. Everett suggests Stephanie could move out of her parents’ place and they could find a place of their own together to pick up where they left off. Everett asks what Stephanie says to that.

Tripp and Wendy go home to find Ava and Stefan with his shirt off. Tripp asks what the hell. Ava tries to explain but Tripp says he’s not an idiot and tells her to save it. Stefan says he was just leaving. Tripp tells Stefan to keep his paws off his mother. Wendy tries to say that Ava is a grown woman and can see who he wants. Tripp calls Stefan a dirtbag while Stefan says it’s none of his business. Tripp warns Stefan that his mother is his business so he’s not going to sit back and watch him use her, declaring that is over. Tripp orders Stefan to keep his distance from Ava from now on or else he will regret it.

Paulina wishes they could lay like this forever and their problems would just blow away. Abe asks if she’s thinking about her surgery. Paulina informs him that she went to the hospital this morning which Abe questions. Paulina reveals that she thinks the lump is actually getting bigger. Abe asks why she didn’t tell him. Paulina says there’s nothing to tell yet but she’s waiting for the test results. Paulina declares that being here with Abe makes her feel like she can get through anything and she even forgot all about it for awhile which is no small thing. Paulina tells Abe how much this means to her. Abe calls it overwhelming to try and navigate life with no memory, but acknowledges that she never gave up on him. Abe calls her his safe harbor when he was lost at sea. Abe tells Paulina that he will be with her, every step of the way, now and always.

Johnny tells Chanel that he’s not questioning her sexual orientation but he wants to be sure that he’s going to be enough for her. Chanel tells him that she’s ready to commit herself to one person and he is that person, no one else. Chanel says that Johnny protected her, even when they weren’t together, and he has shown her in a million ways that she is enough for him. Chanel repeats that he’s more than enough for her, always and forever. Chanel tells Johnny that she loves him so much. Johnny says he loves her too as they kiss.

Stephanie tells Everett to slow down about living together. Everett admits that he’s pushing boundaries again. Stephanie tells Everett that she moved in with Chad too fast and that was a big mistake. Stephanie says she’s read relationship help books and says there is no need to rush. Stephanie suggests just enjoying each other and if it’s real, it will last. Everett assures that for him, it is real and he already knows that as there is no doubt that she’s the only person in the world that he wants to share his life with and that will never change. Everett asks if it’s real for her.

Konstantin instructs John as The Pawn to move the nearby trash can which he then does. Konstantin declares that Catharina will be avenged which John repeats. Konstantin then makes him raise his arm and lower it. Konstantin then puts the gun back in John’s hand and instructs him to shoot himself.

Chanel asks Johnny if they’ve now checked off every box on their potential concerns and are ready to get married. Johnny decides it’s settled and asks if she’s ready to be Mrs. DiMera. Chanel jokes about him being Mr. Dupree. Johnny guesses they never talked about the name change and asks if there’s something she wants to do about that. Chanel decides they’ve had enough discussions for the night, so all that’s left for them to do is seal their love with another kiss. Johnny says that sounds good to him as they kiss. Johnny then brings up one other thing left to do on their list. Johnny informs her that he was thinking that they should seal their love with a little more than a kiss. They then race upstairs to the bedroom.

Paulina tells Abe that she doesn’t know how much sleep she will get tonight with so much on her mind, but she’s so very happy to have Abe back in their bed. Abe agrees that it feels right. Abe says they could stay up all night and talk, but he wants her to know that he’s there for whatever she needs or wants. Paulina then falls asleep in Abe’s arms.

Stephanie suggests to Everett that they just take it slow, repeating that there is no rush and he’s not going to fall in to another coma. Stephanie says they should just live in the moment and appreciate that they found each other again. Everett says he does appreciate that beyond words as they kiss. Everett agrees that there’s no need to rush, except maybe to sleep, since he has to meet Chad in a few hours. Stephanie asks why go to sleep at all as they move towards the bed.

Ava tells Tripp that’s enough and asks Stefan to just go. Stefan agrees to go and kisses Ava goodbye as he then exits. Tripp questions Ava. Ava tries to explain but then decides she’s not going to discuss this with her son and storms off to the bedroom, leaving Tripp angry.

Konstantin stops John from shooting himself and says not today as he will serve a purpose and be his pawn. Konstantin declares that he will have revenge for Catharina but not yet. Konstantin orders John to go back to his family and in ten seconds, he will return to who he is as he shows him the card again. Konstantin then walks away. John then snaps out of it and looks around in a panic.

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

Mm. Yeah. Yeah, of course. I can swing by after I pick up Rachel from swimming. Oh, I don’t know, in a couple of hours? Yeah, I just have to pick up some supplies and– oh, hey, hey, hey, wait, wait. Can I call you back in a minute? Hey, Alex, Alex. Hi.

Kristen, hi.

Hi. Are you headed over to Titan?

That’s the plan, yeah, after I shower. Why? What do you need?

Well, um, I don’t know. We haven’t talked in a while. And I just was wondering how things were going over there.

Things are going good, you know, just working on creating a more unified brand, you know, clean and mean.

Oh, interesting. And how does Theresa’s latest escapade fit in with that new image that you’re trying to promote? I mean, I can see that, but clean? Hardly.

[laughs]

What are you implying, Kristen?

Oh, come on, Alex. Don’t play dumb with me. I know all about her little relapse.

Yeah, whatever you heard, that’s not–

Not what, true? Come on. Don’t deny it. Brady told me all about it.

Are you kidding me right now? What the hell is wrong–

[dramatic music]

[sighs] Mm.

[laughs] Well, good morning, handsome.

You know, you thought that you wouldn’t sleep, and you seem to have slept pretty well.

Well, last night’s activities, uh, definitely helped relax my mind.

Oh. Well, then, you know, maybe I can relax your mind some more.

Mm, go for it. Oh!

[chuckling]

[phone buzzing]

Yeah, what is it? No, I have not been informed of that. What the hell, man? That was not your decision to make. This is my business, and I’ll run it my way. I’ll deal with you later. Imbeciles. How could they let this happen? Oh, they’ll be damned sorry they did, though. Sons of bitches have no idea what I’m capable of. They’re about to find out.

[radio chatter]

[tense music]

Here. Thought you might need this.

[radio chatter]

How you doing, Goldman?

That’s a first for me, detective.

First time you shot somebody?

First time I’ve ever even discharged my weapon.

Have you released your firearm to the CS unit?

Yes, sir.

OK, good. It’s going to be OK. Why don’t you wait by your car. Phillips will stay with you.

Come on, Goldman.

[sighs]

She’s pretty shaken, huh?

This is bad, Jada. This is really bad.

[soft orchestration] – Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”

What the hell is Brady thinking? Brady has no business speaking about Theresa’s personal life to you or anybody else.

So it is true she’s using again?

She’s not using again. She had a slip. Hey, hey! She has made a vow. She is consistently sober now, and it’s going to stay that way from now on. So maybe if you could just like, I don’t know, transform yourself into, like, a half decent human being for like a split second, maybe then you would recognize that she’s facing struggles. And you can leave her in peace.

Aw.

[laughs] Sorry. Look, I do feel for Theresa. Look, no, after all, we are both card-carrying members of the Brady Black baby mama club connected to the guy from here to eternity.

Please, don’t– don’t remind me.

Oh, come on, Alex. Brady is always going to be a part of Theresa’s life just like he’s going to be a part of mine. And it is very understandable why he talked to me about that situation. He’s worried about her.

Well, he’s worried about Tate.

Oh, no, not just Tate. I mean, don’t you get a sense of their strong connection?

I suppose I do, yeah. It has been made abundantly clear to me just how strong their little bond is. So yeah, but it’s out of necessity.

Oh, out of necessity. Are you sure about that? I mean, are you sure that there is nothing else going on between the two of them? Hm? Hm.

You bring me so much joy, Abraham. I’m so grateful that we get to be together like this again.

Have I told you lately how much I appreciate your patience of me, your understanding?

Oh. Well, we don’t have to rush anything. And the memories, they’ll come back. I know they will. In the meantime, we have the privilege of creating new ones.

Beautiful new ones. Perfect new ones.

[laughs] Oh. Mm.

But this was a good bust, right?

Yeah, I mean, in terms of drugs off the streets, it’s a great bust but–

I know we needed that dealer alive. I’m going to go check on Officer Goldman.

OK.

Talk to him.

Uh-huh.

How did this go so wrong, Rafe? This is the dealer with a direct connection to Clyde.

I know, Harris. But look on the bright side. We got kilos of drugs off the street. That’s a huge win.

There’s always going to be more drugs. We need the source.

[sighs] If only Goldman had–

No, no, no, no. This piece of trash pointed a gun at her, OK? It was a split-second decision– her life or his.

No, I understand that. But with this guy, Clyde would be off the street for good.

OK. But that’s fine. We’re going to get to Weston one– what the hell are you two doing here?

We’re just here to collect information, Commissioner.

Yeah, well, that’s not OK, Chad. This is an active crime scene. Besides that, how the hell did you get here so fast? This bust wasn’t on the radio.

I called them.

You what? Why?

To buy us some extra time to get to this bust before the Lucas story is published.

What? The Lucas story? What the hell’s a Lucas story?

Lucas Horton is a confidential informant for Salem PD. Put his life on the line to stop Clyde Weston’s hold on this city. That’s the story we’re going to tell.

When I was brought up to speed, the only thing I could do was negotiate the delay in publishing it in exchange for the scoop on the bust.

What the hell were you thinking, Harris? This is months and months of investigation. It could potentially all go up in smoke. What the hell made you think that this was the right call?

I’m not the one who made the call.

OK. Who made the call?

Look, I’m sorry. Lucas reached out to us unbeknownst to Detective Michaels.

Look, we’re all on the same team here, Commissioner, OK? We all want drugs out of Salem, and now we actually have an opportunity to move the needle in the right direction by working together.

Huh.

What do you say, Commissioner? We have to print the story with or without your statement.

OK, let’s get this over with then.

Great. You’re not going to regret this.

OK.

Commissioner Rafe Fernandez, can you tell us about the drug bust that occurred today here on Kingston Road?

Good morning. Today, we were successful in removing over kilos of dangerous drugs from the streets during a warehouse drug bust just on the edge of town and thus cutting off the pipeline of these highly addictive and dangerous drugs.

Can you tell us specifically what drugs were confiscated?

Well, that investigation is still ongoing, although I will say they are probably street drugs laced with opiates. I will say this, however. A bust of this magnitude sends a clear message that we are not going to stop until we reclaim our city from those who seek to profit only from misery and death.

Can you tell us, were there any injuries or fatalities in the raid?

[tense music]

Yeah, unfortunately, one of our officers was involved with a– a shooting. And, um, the deceased is an alleged drug dealer, although that investigation as well is still ongoing, and there will be a separate report released.

[sighs] We good now?

Good as gold. We’ll, uh– we’ll get out of your way now. Thank you.

[chatter]

Well, today the police made a major dent in the drug trade in Salem.

Red letter day indeed.

Now the real work begins.

Look, I am not trying to upset you, Alex. I know that you and Theresa are a thing, and, uh, I just hate to see you deluding yourself. Yeah. Look, those two are recovering addicts. And it’s like they’ve been to war together. And they share the battle wounds, and those wounds are very, very bonding. It’s kind of like Brady and my relationship, actually.

Are you kidding me right now? From what I see, you and Brady practically despise each other.

Affairs of the heart are very deceiving. And like Theresa and Brady, we’re forever connected and not just because we went through hell and back, but because of our child.

Your child?

Mm-hmm.

The one that you recently just got sole custody over and basically deprived her father from being a part of her life? And you think you and Brady have a strong connection?

Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? I did not deprive Brady of being part of Rachel’s life. I was given sole custody because he threatened me with a gun in the presence of our daughter.

And I agree with you. That was not a smart move on Brady’s part.

Yeah, you think it would–

But did you have to go to such extreme measures?

Oh, and what the hell would you have done?

Not got the cops involved.

Oh, so I take it Brady didn’t tell you the whole story.

What’s the whole story?

Uh, it wasn’t me who called the cops. It was Rachel.

[radio chatter]

OK. So let’s go over exactly what went down earlier. You were with Officer Goldman when you entered the warehouse from the south side, correct?

Yep.

Did you notice anything unusual?

Not at first, but then I saw something flash from the corner of my eye.

What kind of flash?

I’m not sure. Next thing I knew, Goldman was taking off after the perp. And then– well, you know the rest.

What exactly did you see?

It’s not what I saw. It’s what I heard– two shots. By the time I caught up with Goldman, dealer was dead.

And Goldman?

She was shaken, definitely in shock. I noted the location of the suspect’s gun before I helped her. Put it on my report.

OK, Phillips. I’d do that now while memory is fresh.

Trust me, this won’t be something I’ll forget.

Neither will Goldman. Let’s go check on her.

[laughs] Well, look who we have here– my old buddy Chad DiMera. Who’s your compadre, Chad?

[suspenseful music]

Your family dynamic’s certainly interesting.

I could say the same about yours, too. I mean, talk about daddy issues.

[clears throat] OK, I’m sorry. Look, changing the subject, let’s just state the obvious. I’m going to state the obvious here, OK? Life is unpredictable, and it is complicated, as are relationships. So my advice to you? Be wary and, uh, don’t give your heart away too quickly.

OK. Well, enough about the subject of me and my heart. Let’s move on to you.

Mm-mm.

Are you seeing anybody?

[laughs] Oh, please, Alex, do– Do you know how dehumanizing those apps are–

Oh.

–the dating apps, right? You swipe left, swipe right. You know, it’s just– I’m just too old school for that.

Oh, well, I would hardly call you old school, but I know what you mean.

[laughs]

What about Brady?

You ever think about getting back with big old Brady?

[laughs] Oh, come on. Come on. That ship has sailed.

So bring it back to shore, captain. He’s single. You’re single. You don’t have to worry about the little first date weirdness issues. You can just have somebody you know. You know all him. You know his flaws. And from where I’m standing, it’s obvious you still got feelings for the guy. So why not pursue it?

Huh. I know what you’re doing, Alex.

[laughs] You want Brady out of the picture so that you can have Theresa all to yourself.

[scoffs]

[laughs]

[gasps] Oh my Lord! Oh. Oh! With everything going on last night, I plumb forgot to tell you the very exciting news. Chanel and Johnny are getting married.

That’s wonderful.

[laughter] Well, congratulations to the mother of the bride.

Yes, that’s me.

[laughs] Oh, babe, I’m so happy for my baby girl. And you know, the more I see the two of them together, the more convinced I am that they– they’ve got what it takes.

Oh, young love.

Yeah, well, old timers’ love ain’t so bad, either.

Oh, well–

Oh, now, wait a minute. Oh, come on, now. Wait. These distractions have got to just wait now ’cause I’ve got– I got to write this announcement so I can get it in The Spectator ASAP.

Well, so have they set a date?

Indeed they have. They’re getting married on Valentine’s Day.

Well, you have your work cut out for you. So what can I do to help?

Oh, Abraham, you’ve done so much already.

Well, uh, we’re partners, right?

Mm-hmm.

So put me to work.

Well, for now, just tell me that today’s going to be a good day.

Every day with you is a good day, my dear sweet Paulina.

Mm.

[laughs]

[sighs] We’ll get each of the suspects into interrogation. I am guessing they will be up for conversation if they think it means staying out of Statesville.

Yeah, well, their boss isn’t going to be happy about this raid.

Yeah. Speaking of unhappy bosses, really not pleased that you kept me out of the loop on this press situation.

I know, Rafe. I’m sorry. I had to make a quick decision.

Mm-hmm. So Lucas is staying with you at the safe house?

I mean, it’s the best plan I can come up with to make sure that this raid would still go off without a hitch.

Yeah, so there was a hitch?

Yeah, Officer Goldman was a decorated marksman in her academy class.

OK, but there’s a big difference to shooting your gun on the range versus on the job.

[tense music] And now she’s going to have to visit with the department shrink before I can put her back on duty.

OK. We’re going to need all hands on deck. That’s for sure.

Yeah. Once this article comes out in the press, God only knows what the fallout’s gonna be.

Aren’t you going to introduce me to your buddy here, Chad?

Everett Lynch, editor in chief, The Spectator.

Lynch? I don’t recall that name. You must be a– a recent hire.

Fairly recent, yeah. Mr. Weston, we were hoping you might be able to spare some time to speak with us today.

Us? You mean like the two of you?

[laughs] Chad, are you pretending to be a journalist now?

I own The Spectator now, Abigail’s family paper.

I see. One of those, uh, jack of all trades, master of none things, right?

[chuckles] You know, your daddy, Stefano DiMera, he was a force to be reckoned with. But you, son, sorry to say, you’re just a waste of time, kind of like this meeting here.

Mr. Weston, taking pot shots at a man whose wife you brutally murdered, that’s the behavior of someone in a very, very bad mood, which makes sense in your case because you’re obviously having a horrible day.

A horrible day? What the hell you talking about?

[tense music]

Why don’t you enlighten me, Chad? Why am I having a horrible day?

Oh, you, uh– you must not have heard about the raid.

Raid? No, it doesn’t ring a bell.

Well, you have eyes and ears everywhere, don’t you, Clyde? OK, fine, we’ll, uh– we’ll play your game. And we’ll be the first to tell you that there was a very big raid this morning on the edge of town at a warehouse. Kingston Road, I believe?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah. But that doesn’t ring any bells? It was really quite a doozy.

One of the biggest raids in Salem history, from what I heard.

Yeah. How much did the police grab, Everett?

Over kilos, I believe, and still counting the cash when we left.

Well, that’s got to hurt, huh, Clyde?

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

How much does keys go for on the streets? My math is, um– it’s not very good.

Yeah, you know, by my calculation and adjusting for inflation, I’d say probably over a couple mil.

[whistles] A couple mil, huh? A couple mil, that is a lot. That is– that would make me very angry. I’d probably want to make somebody pay. What would you do, Clyde?

[phone buzzing] Do you hear that, Everett?

Yeah, I do. It sounds like a– like a phone on vibrate.

That’s funny because we had– I mean–

Yeah.

Yeah, we had to check our phones in when we– when we got here. Clyde Weston, do you have a contraband phone on you?

[phone beeps] You might want to check your messages.

You know, if I were a betting man, which I’m not, I would bet that it’s probably about the raid and all that lost product.

I bet you’re right. I bet someone is very nervous to have to pass that along. Go ahead. Check your messages, Clyde. It’s just us here. We won’t say anything.

Admit it. You want Brady out of the way so it’s smooth sailing for you and Theresa.

I’m also looking out for what’s best for you, Kristen, and for Rachel. Think about it. No, seriously, how nice would it be for her to have her parents back together again creating a nice family unit?

Well, you don’t give a damn about me and Rachel. Wow, you are really sweating bullets about Brady and Theresa, aren’t you?

Hey. Hey. I admit I have my concerns, OK, only because she’s been leaning on him a little bit more than I expected.

Co-addicts to codependency.

Yeah. Yeah, he’s been hanging around a lot more since the slip.

Yeah. Well, and also, they’re dealing with the fallout of Tate’s arrest and him going to juvie camp.

It’s like two little magnets getting drawn together every time I turn around.

[chuckles] Well, and if you don’t redirect Brady’s attention–

Then my relationship with Theresa is probably doomed.

All right. You know what, Alex, I think I can help you.

[tense music]

How are you doing?

I’m OK.

I wasn’t after my first shooting.

Really? What happened?

It was a domestic violence case when I was working in Seattle. I got a call that this guy was making threats at his ex’s workplace. So I show up. And I thought I had everything under control. Talking to the guy, you know, I’m trying to calm him down, or so I thought. And all of a sudden, he– he pulls a gun out, and he fired. I had no time to think. And there were too many civilians around, and I couldn’t take the chance of someone getting hurt. And that– that was the first time that I discharged my weapon on duty. I can still smell the gunpowder. I can still see the blood.

That’s all I can see–

[shivers] The blood.

You did the right thing, Goldman.

It was a clean shooting.

Yeah. Jada’s right. Based on our initial reporting, you did the right thing, Goldman.

But I took a life, sir.

Yeah.

I’m having a hard time reconciling that I did the right thing.

And it’s only natural that you would feel that way. But at the end of the day, you’ll come to accept that what you did, you did what you had to do. And just know that you are not alone. You will come out of this OK.

[tense music]

What do you think, Everett?

I don’t know. Not really what I expected. Not that tough, really.

Yeah, well, you know what they say. Prison can break some men. Is that what happened to you, Clyde?

What is it you two clowns want from me?

Well, truth is is I don’t even like to hear your name, let alone be in the same room as you. But our job is to tell both sides of the story.

We want to hear your version. We’re giving you a forum to speak your truth.

What the hell are you talking about?

Well, you claim you’re an innocent man, right?

Damn right I’m innocent.

OK. Can you expand on that?

Look, gentlemen, if you’d done your homework, you’d know that I’ve been a model prisoner here in Statesville ever since I started serving time for the brutal murder of Chad’s adorable wife Abigail. I’ll bet you miss her dearly, don’t you, Chad? I can still see her face, so scared and so beautiful, begging me to save her life.

Hey. Stay focused. Stay focused, OK?

[laughs]

[tense music]

Now, I still don’t know why you’re really here.

Because, Clyde, I wanted to see the look on your face when you learned that your empire was crumbling to the ground.

[chuckles] Good luck with that.

I don’t need luck, just facts. And the fact is your reign of terror is coming to an end. And when you lose all of that money and all of that power and everything that goes along with it, I am going to take great satisfaction with telling the world all about it on the front page of my newspaper. And you, Clyde, will be rotting away in prison like the rat that you are, never again to see the light of day.

You said so yourself. If I’m more present in Brady’s life and he’s less present in Theresa’s, then it is a win-win for everyone, right?

Yeah, I still feel like there’s a catch.

No, I mean, we’re just, um, helping them both out.

[laughs] That’s all. I mean, we both want to break the toxic chain between them.

Mm-hmm. But are you sure you’re ready to get back to Brady again?

I don’t know. Time will tell. I mean, it’s hard being hurt over and over and over.

Absolutely.

There’ll always be a place in my heart saved just for him. OK. I think it’s time for me to change things and focus on myself.

I’m liking where this is headed right now, truly.

[laughs]

Wow.

All right. So we are on the same page, right? And if we’re going to achieve the goal that we want, then you and I are going to have to be in communication with each other.

Sure, yeah. I mean, you’re not suggesting we spy and gossip about Theresa and Brady on, like, a regular basis, right?

Let’s not think of it as gossiping. Let’s think of it as intel.

Oh.

[laughs] I mean, the last thing either of us wants is for them to get together.

[humming] Voila!

[chuckling] Engagement announcement complete.

Excellent. Excellent. So what else is on the agenda for today?

Well, I have– I’ve got a conference call in half an hour to go over some details about the geocaching event.

Right.

Then after that, I need to start thinking about my mother of the bride outfit, so maybe a stroll through Saison with my best man?

Oh, it’d be my honor.

[both laughing]

Oh.

[phone ringing]

What is it?

[phone ringing]

University Hospital.

[phone ringing]

Yes, I’m aware. But what if the–

[deep breath] OK. OK. OK. OK. Yes, I understand. Thank you for letting me know.

Paulina, who is it? What’s going on?

That was my oncologist. They got the ultrasound results. The tumor has grown. They don’t want to wait. They’re moving my surgery up to the end of this week.

Then we have a plan.

Oh. But I just thought I’d have a little bit more time to prepare mentally. Oh, I’m going to be fine. I’m going to be fine, Abe. I’m going to be fine.

Yes.

Oh.

[panicked breathing] I got this. I’m going to deal with this. I’m going to deal with this.

[panicked breathing] I just– I know you know who I am. Even though I’m scared, you know, if you know anything about me, you know I’m not going to let my fear overcome me. You know that.

[panicked breathing] I have you. I do have you.

Yes, you have. And we’re going to go through this together. We are a team, remember?

Yeah.

What do you say about spending a little bit more time around Titan?

Oh, Alex, are you offering me a job?

I mean, would it be that far out of left field? You’re more than qualified to join my executive team.

True. I have more than a little experience.

Exactly. And we need somebody like you with your skill set to keep up with the new market trends. I’m telling you, Kristen, I have always seen you as a shrewd businesswoman.

Yeah, well, I’m not the Suzy Homemaker type. Ah, you know, I think, I can make this change.

Yeah?

Yeah.

And you’ll be in closer proximity to Brady.

Interesting proposition. I’ll consider it.

OK. All right. Well, if we’re going to make this little project work, we’re both going to need to contribute in and out of the workplace.

Meaning?

It means that we’re going to have to work at bumping up those visitation rights between Brady and Rachel, building it up to family sleepovers, creating more opportunities for bonding for the family, of course.

Of course.

We got the best motive here, Kristen, truly– happiness– mine, yours, Theresa’s, Brady, but, most importantly, Rachel.

OK, Alex, to happiness.

To happiness.

[laughs]

I think we’re done here. Chad?

Mr. Lynch, I’d like to suggest that you forget anything that you learned here today. It would be best for all parties.

Is that a threat, Clyde?

No. It’s, um, more like a warning from a concerned citizen who would hate to see anything bad happen to those who were close to you back in Salem.

Empty threats will not prevent the truth from coming out, Weston. You’ve had your chance to make a statement. Now it’s time for us to do our job. I’ll make sure you get a copy of the paper.

And when we do finally expose all the horror you’ve inflicted from killing people with tainted drugs to putting the DA’s stepdaughter into a coma, the justice system will make sure you serve two life sentences. You understand me?

Guard!

[ominous music]

It’s time to end this.

Let’s do it.

So close to nailing Weston.

I know. I know.

[sighs] OK, Goldman, walk me through it one more time.

OK. The suspect did not respond to our commands to stop, sir. I pursued. And once we got outside, he turned and fired. I returned fire to ensure that no other individuals would be hurt and– because– I didn’t want to die.

It’s OK. It’s OK. You followed protocol. We’re going to have to come at Weston from another angle.

And soon.

Yeah, soon, because once Clyde finds out about this, all hell is going to break loose. And he’s going to want somebody to pay.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Phone ringing ]

[ Chelsea sighs ]

Chelsea: Hello, adam.

Adam: Hi, I’ve given connor’s situation some more thought.

Chelsea: Me too.

Adam: So, how do you want to handle this, do you want to drive there together?

Chelsea: I don’t think we should go.

Adam: What is that supposed to mean?

Chelsea: The last thing he needs right now is you running up there.

Adam: He has to know that he has my support. If you don’t want to go, that’s your decision, but I’m going. I already called him.

Chelsea: You did what? What did you say?

Adam: I left him a voicemail and I told him to call me back. I want to talk to him directly and tell him that I’m on my way.

Chelsea: Adam, just do me a favor, okay? Do not speak to connor or go anywhere until we can discuss this together in person.

Adam: Fine. I’m at society.

Chelsea: Okay, I’ll be there as soon as I can.

[ Chelsea sighs ]

Billy: I take it that was adam and he hasn’t changed his mind.

Chelsea: No, he hasn’t changed his mind, he plans to go straight to the school and yank connor out.

Billy: Just like him. Add fuel to the fire.

Chelsea: I have to stop him.

Billy: I know. I get it. Just do me a favor, okay? Take a breath.

[ Chelsea breathes deeply ] Just enjoy the tea with me for a second. Because we both know if you go hard on adam–

Chelsea: He’ll dig in, and make things worse.

Devon: Well, sharon, we really appreciate all the presentations that your team sent over on how our companies can partner.

Nate: Yes, yes, you’ve done a great job positioning cassidy first technology.

Sharon: Well, thank you. We, uh, put a lot of time into these proposals, and I made it a priority because I really believe that we can do great things with chancellor-winters. Our tech and your content. But I know that pitch decks only go so far, so I wanted to meet in person to see if there’s anything else I can answer for you. Um, are we waiting for billy?

Devon: We’re not, no, just going to be us today, and i think you’ve already addressed our follow-up questions.

Sharon: Great. Well, I hope that means you’re ready to make a deal.

[ Traci sighs ]

Ashley: Ca va?

Traci: Oh, oh, oh.

Ashley: I’m sorry I’m late.

Traci: I’m so glad to see you, I was afraid maybe you had changed your mind about meeting here. I wouldn’t– I wouldn’t blame you, of course. You sure you don’t want to go somewhere else? This place must be very triggering, you know? A constant reminder of the fight with tucker.

Ashley: Well, actually, what’s triggering is being told that my memory’s wrong.

Traci: Yes, very upsetting, I’m sure, um, the possibility that you might have exaggerated tucker’s anger. Memories can be tricky.

Ashley: Yeah, I didn’t exaggerate anything at all. It’s good that I’m back here, so I can remember what happened. What really happened. I can look that– that waiter in the eye, and I know that he’s lying because tucker paid him off. Did I tell you that tucker actually suggested that I come back to this cafe, and question the waiter? Clearly, a setup.

Traci: Well, I certainly wouldn’t put it past tucker to try to pull something like that. It’s what he does.

Ashley: Exactly.

Traci: I do think that we should prepare ourselves for another possibility.

Ashley: And what would that be?

Traci: That he didn’t pay them. That they’re telling the truth.

Did you know…

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by… nothing brings us together like eggland’s best eggs.

Ashley: I can’t believe that you’re actually taking tucker’s side, and giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Traci: I’m not taking tucker’s side, I’m– I’m sure that his– his anger was terrifying. I’m just questioning whether he paid off the staff.

Ashley: Mm-hmm, well, you know that he’s capable of anything and everything, right?

Traci: Agreed, but did he do this particular thing this time?

Ashley: Of course he did, traci. When I called him to confront him, he basically doubled down.

Traci: You called him?

Ashley: Yes. He will do anything at all. He just wants to punish me. He wants to make me pay because I didn’t cut ties with jabot. And he’s such an egomaniac. He’s– he’s threatened by the thought that i could actually love anybody more than him.

Traci: Well, of course that’s absurd, ashley, you have a huge heart. And I am here to help you protect it.

Ashley: It would help me if you would trust that I know what I’m talking about.

Traci: Of course I trust you.

Ashley: Because he’s capable of anything, like I said. He would have no qualms paying off an entire waitstaff, let alone one waiter. His whole life revolves around revenge. That’s what he’s doing. He’s trying to make me think that something’s wrong with me just to get back at me. Well, it’s not going to work! I’m on to him! Sorry. I’m so sorry, I’m ruining this night, aren’t I?

Traci: No. No, it’s fine.

Ashley: I am. We’re in paris. I’m with my sister. I’m not going to let tucker ruin this, too, okay? I’m sorry. Let’s get some wine.

[ Traci laughs ] Garçon?

Devon: I’m glad that you wanted to meet with us in person because I know how easy it is to get distracted by outside concerns. But, uh, I think that we are ready to make some decisions about the deal today. Right, nate?

Nate: Yes, yes. Absolutely. Uh, we’ve run it by lily, but we’re still waiting on billy and jill’s final sign-off.

Sharon: They haven’t agreed?

Devon: They have to the partnership, but we still just need to run by the specific points with them, and I’m very confident we’ll be able to get you the paperwork you need by this afternoon.

Sharon: That would be amazing. I know no deal is really done until the paperwork is signed, but I have to say, I’m optimistic.

Devon: I am, too, I really am, as long as you guys like what we send to you, I don’t see why we can’t get this partnership solidified within the next few weeks.

Sharon: That sounds great. Okay, well, I better get back to the office, and prep my team.

Devon: Yes.

Sharon: This is exciting!

Devon: It’s very exciting. I think this partnership makes perfect sense. Thank you for having that dream.

[ Nate laughing ]

Sharon: Sometimes, our unconscious bubbles up some inspired ideas.

Nate: Well, with any luck, we’ll be sipping on some different bubbles very soon.

Devon: Yes. We’ll be in touch. Have a good rest of your day.

Sharon: You, too.

Devon: Well, congratulations, man, looks like this is the first big deal you’ve landed since being back.

[ Nate clears throat ] What the hell is going on between you and audra?

[ Nate sighs ]

Audra: Are you staring at me to distract from the fact that devon’s over there ignoring you?

Tucker: Is devon here? Ah, there he is. What do you know?

Audra: Yeah, very funny.

Tucker: I only have eyes for you right now.

[ Audra chuckles ]

Audra: Sorry, but this just doesn’t sound like the tucker I know.

Tucker: I’m serious. I feel so close to you right now. Closer than I ever have. Do you not feel the same?

Audra: I– I feel a shift in our dynamic. I just hope it lasts.

Tucker: “A shift in our dynamic,” wow. You’re such a poet, audra. I think you’re still on guard about ashley.

Audra: Oh, god. Yeah, well, I know you very well. And I’m realistic. So, yes, I am on guard.

Tucker: Give me your hand. Give me your hand. I meant what I said upstairs. I choose you in all ways possible. It’s you and me from now on.

Rsv can severely affect

Chelsea: Thank you so much. Yes, that approach makes sense. I will speak to his father and fill him in. Okay. Bye-bye. Oh, see? This is why I love that school.

Billy: They’re on top of things.

Chelsea: Yes, they said they will keep an eye on connor. They will work on getting him back to his sleep schedule, and they’ll make sure he’s eating again because he’s been so upset that he hasn’t been able to think about food.

Billy: That’s good. Just get him back to basics. He’ll be all right.

Chelsea: The way they explained things was really, really helpful, so I just have to make adam understand it’s not the right time to go visit connor. Let’s see if he takes their advice.

Billy: You want me to join you for moral support?

Chelsea: I would love that, but I think that would set adam off even more. Thank you for the tea and the advice.

Billy: Of course.

Sharon: Hey there.

Chelsea: Oh, sharon. Hi. Congrats again on your launch.

Sharon: Thank you. Thank you so much.

Chelsea: I want to hear more about it, but unfortunately, I have to run, I’ll– I’ll see you soon, though. Wish me luck.

Billy: I’ll check in with you later.

Chelsea: Okay.

[ Billy sighs ]

Sharon: So, how are things going?

Billy: Uh, yeah. Everything’s good. Chelsea’s just dealing with some co-parenting issues.

Sharon: Well, I hope connor’s okay.

Billy: I think he’s going to be just fine. Of course, adam is handling it the way you would expect adam to handle it.

Sharon: Is that why, uh, you weren’t at the meeting today with devon and nate?

Billy: What meeting?

Sharon: To finalize the partnership.

Billy: I wasn’t aware there was a meeting. And I don’t have anything in my calendar. Who set this meeting, sharon? Because I assume that I should have been a part of it.

Sharon: Well, I had reached out to devon, but I just assumed you’d be there.

Billy: Yeah, well, nothing’s getting finalized without me, so I assumed I should have been there, too. But I guess devon doesn’t agree.

Sharon: Oh, well, I don’t think it was anything like that. Um, and nothing has been finalized. He said that he’s going to run the numbers by jill and you, and then send them over later.

Billy: And yet no fresh emails, and my phone isn’t ringing.

Sharon: Are you and devon having some kind of a conflict? Because if there’s going to be issues before this partnership even gets off the ground–

Billy: It’s nothing like that. We’re just figuring out how to work together again. That’s all it is.

Sharon: As long as it’s not going to be contentious.

Billy: It’s all about collaboration for me.

Sharon: Uh-huh.

Billy: Look, if I get my feathers ruffled because of a missed meeting, that’s one thing. I just don’t want it to get to my mother, okay? So, I will remind devon that I need to be kept in the loop. Other than that, everything is going to be just great.

Nate: There’s nothing going on between audra and me.

Devon: Then, why do you keep looking over at her?

Nate: She and i worked closely together. I just hate to see her get sucked back into tucker’s drama again. I thought she’d finally shaken him off.

Devon: Yeah, but who cares? She’s a grown woman. And after everything tucker’s done, I’m sure she’s aware of it. And the fact that she’s sitting over there holding his hand should tell you all you need to know about her.

Nate: You may be right.

Devon: I am definitely right. And I would recommend that you steer clear of her. Because she’s nothing but drama. And you don’t need her drawing you back into a place that your family doesn’t want you to be in.

Audra: You’re not really a public display of affection guy.

Tucker: You haven’t pulled your hand away.

Audra: I don’t hate it.

Tucker: Mm.

Audra: But that doesn’t mean you can distract me from business.

Tucker: Ugh.

Audra: So, what happens now?

Tucker: Well, bringing you back changes my original plan, so I’ll have to do some thinking about it.

Audra: Work it out together? It shouldn’t be that hard. After all, I was going to run glissade when your plan was to fold it into jabot. So you must have had a plan when you first asked me to join you. Okay, come here. Look, everything you wanted to have with ashley, you can have with me. Only it will be real. Not some fantasy or unattainable ideal. Hey, if I’m in, I am all the way in. And you claim you are too.

Tucker: 100%. Never doubt that. And I’m glad to be there. But right now, can we just bask in the afterglow? Being us, over a nice lunch, without talking business?

Audra: Yeah, of course. Just remember, you make promises. And I’m going to make sure you remember every single one of them.

Tucker: Yes, ma’am.

[ Tucker sighs ]

Ashley: Sorry about that. Oh, tucker just upsets me.

Traci: I wish that you could see that when you let him do that, you let him win. I really don’t like that you called him. The only way to take back control is to not think about him at all.

Ashley: I was trying to do that, that’s why I came here, was to get closure. Instead, I was just faced with a bunch of tucker’s new lies. I just have to go in another direction.

Traci: Well, I hope that direction includes exorcising him from your thoughts and moving on with your life.

Tucker: I’m done. Goodbye, ashley. Go to hell.

Traci: Ashley? Pain hits fast.

Traci: Ashley. Oh, I knew that coming here was a mistake.

Ashley: I keep thinking about tucker’s version of what happened here and he’s wrong. It did not happen that way.

Traci: Okay, you know what? Why don’t we go get on that jet and go home? We’ve learned all we can here. Why stay the night?

Ashley: Yeah, I’m not ready to give up or go home.

Traci: But what else is there for us to do?

Ashley: If tucker can get the waiter to lie, then maybe I can get him to tell the truth.

Traci: And how are you gonna do that? Offer him your own bribe?

Ashley: Of course not. I could pay him for his time.

Traci: Ashley, any waiter who can be bought by the highest bidder is never going to tell you the truth. I think we have to face the possibility we’ve reached a dead end here.

Ashley: I’m not accepting defeat.

Traci: I wish you wouldn’t think of it as win or lose. How about moving on with your life? Ashley, the waiter lied or he didn’t lie. We’re not going to know unless we hook him up to a lie detector test.

Ashley: Well, I could make the suggestion.

Traci: Please, you’ve got to find a way to let this all go and I will do everything in my power to help you. And so will jack, and so will billy. Come on, let’s just go home.

Ashley: Please.

Traci: Surrounded by people who love you.

Ashley: Stop treating me with kid gloves, please. What, you think I’m going crazy?

Chelsea: Thank you for waiting.

[ Adam clears throat ]

Adam: Mm-hmm, of course. Nothing is more important than our son.

Chelsea: I know how much you love him, adam. And I– I know that’s why you get so, uh, intense.

Adam: Yes, yes, I overreacted when I first heard, I threatened to pull him out of the school, but it’s only because I care about him so much.

Chelsea: We both do. And that’s why we have to do what’s best for connor.

Adam: Agreed.

Chelsea: Okay, uh, well, i spoke to his guidance counselor and the head of the school, and they are going to put some protocols in place. They’re going to make some accommodations. Get him some more tutoring. And, uh, evaluate him to figure out what’s going on. So, it is a long process and when you’re diagnosing a learning difference, it does take time. And, um, it’s very specific. So they think that we should wait until parents weekend to go visit.

Adam: And you made all of these decisions already without me?

Chelsea: Um, no. Actually, I was just getting advice as to what to do here. Um, I just needed their advice as to what to do and make sure and clarify that we should wait before we go visit our son at school.

Adam: You mean you were getting more ammunition to back up your opinion?

Chelsea: I think that creating conflict is probably not a good thing for our son right now is what I’m saying.

Adam: Or, in other words, you think that I’m going to make a scene.

Chelsea: Adam, you just admitted that you overreacted when I told you about this in the first place.

Adam: That’s because I’m playing catch up, responding to partial information.

Chelsea: What are you talking about? I’m here talking to you so we can be on the same page.

Adam: Okay, do I get any input?

Chelsea: Of course you get input.

Adam: Connor called you, you called the school, and now you are making decisions about connor before anybody has consulted me.

Chelsea: If you just listen to me–

Adam: Chelsea, he has two parents. You don’t get to call all the shots.

Nate: You still think I’m one slip away from betraying our family again, after all I’ve done to repair things.

Devon: Well, listen, something caused you to betray us before, right? You didn’t just do it. And I suspect that your weakness has to do with the temptation of wanting more.

Nate: What is that supposed to mean?

Devon: It means that having ambition is fine and great as long as it doesn’t cloud your judgment and lead you to make bad decisions that only serve yourself and not the company that you work for. And victoria was the road to you doing that. And from what I’ve seen, it just– I feel like audra presents that same temptation.

Tucker: You think you’ll ever really trust me?

Audra: You’re the one who taught me to never fully trust anyone. I know you don’t trust me. You suspect I have my own agenda.

Tucker: Yeah. That’s part of the thrill. How alike we are. How we keep each other on our toes.

Audra: Well then, where does that leave us?

Tucker: Hm. In our happy place. Ah. I don’t want you to ever tell me your plan of your own accord. I want to figure it out on my own. It’s much more thrilling for me.

Audra: Look, I’m not sure being constantly suspicious of each other is as romantic as you think it is.

Tucker: Oh, well, what could be more romantic? We thrive on– on mystery, on piecing everything together. And there’s always the chance we could seduce information from each other. I certainly look forward to doing that with you. I look forward to everything with you.

Audra: Salud.

Tucker: Salud. (Vo) if you have graves’ disease,

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Devon: All right. We should get back to the office so we can get jill and billy to sign off on these numbers and get them to sharon.

Nate: I’m actually surprised billy didn’t show up for this meeting. Was he tied up?

Devon: Uh, no. No he wasn’T. I just figured that you’d been running the numbers and working it, so we’d keep the meeting tight. What?

Nate: I mean, I’m flattered. I’m just wondering how billy would take that.

Devon: I mean, there’s nothing to take. There’s– there’s no reason for the three of us to meet. Sharon didn’t bring her executive team.

Nate: True, but she brought the idea to the two of you in the first place, didn’t she?

Devon: She did. Yeah. But this is just one of many meetings over the course of this partnership, so he’ll be at the next one.

Tucker: Yeah. Devon’s resolve is impressive. He doesn’t even glance my way anymore.

Audra: See? There it is.

Tucker: What?

Audra: I mean, you claim it doesn’t hurt, but you’re not as cold-blooded as you pretend to be.

Tucker: Hey, I– i tried to repair things with him. If he doesn’t want me in his life, I can’t force the issue. Nate, on the other hand, he couldn’t keep his eyes off you. I don’t think he liked, uh, you giving me the time of day. He seemed to hate it.

Audra: Or maybe he just hates you.

[ Tucker laughs ]

Tucker: But he wouldn’t be the first, would he? Nah, he’s obviously got a thing for you. Those, uh, those trysts you said you two were having. Truth?

Audra: Do you really want to know? Wouldn’t that break our rules of engagement, of keeping each other guessing?

Tucker: I think that applies just to business.

Audra: Ah. You’re jealous.

Tucker: Yeah. Maybe a little. He is younger and better looking than me. But I’m still curious as to why he was shooting daggers our way.

Audra: Nate’s just a friend. Yeah, I know you don’t know what those are.

[ Audra laughs ] But friends are protective of each other.

Tucker: And what is nate protecting you from, exactly?

Audra: You.

Tucker: Yeah. Little does he know, I’m putty in your hands.

Audra: Mm. He just wants to make sure you don’t wield any undue influence over me.

Tucker: Mm-hmm. And, uh, just how much influence does nate wield over you?

Audra: Never as much as you.

Adam: Thi– this is why I need to go to the school. And I need to talk to connor and the school staff myself because nobody seems fit to include me.

Chelsea: Oh, okay. I see what this is about. Your ego is bruised because connor called me first. For god’s sake, adam, he’s a kid!

Adam: Yeah, and that’s why he shouldn’t be alone to deal with this, chelsea.

Chelsea: You think I don’t want to run to that school and hug connor so tight and tell him everything’s going to be okay? Of course I do.

Adam: Okay. Then let’s do it.

[ Chelsea scoffs ] Why are you fighting me on this? Why are you acting like this is the worst idea in the world to go reassure our son who is hurting right now? You were the one who told me how upset he was on the phone. Okay, I need to see him, and I need to reassure him that everything is going to be okay.

Chelsea: It’s not about you! Ugh, adam, it’s no– it’s not about you. Put yourself in connor’s shoes. He is struggling. He was just told he needs learning accommodations at a school he was going to because he felt different. So, no, we’re not going. The school says it will make him feel worse, it will put a spotlight on him and that is the last thing he needs.

[ Chelsea sighing ] I’m sorry. I was trying not to lose my cool.

[ Chelsea sighs ]

Adam: No, it’S… you’re– you’re absolutely right. My late father-in-law lit up a room,

Chelsea: You think I’m right?

Adam: So is the school. Turning this into a big deal, making it some– some tragedy is not the way to go. It just kills me to think that he’s beating himself up over this or he’s depressed and he’s overwhelmed. And us not being there, it’s the worst.

Chelsea: But we will be there for him. In the right way, at the right time.

Adam: Thank you.

Chelsea: For going off on you?

Adam: For pushing me to– to see what’s best for connor.

Chelsea: Sometimes, it’s hard to know what that is. Adam, you don’t think I hate the fact that connor sought out this school in the first place because of me?

Adam: What? No, chelsea, no, I’m– I’m not going to let you blame yourself for connor’s issue. Okay, I get that instinct. I do it too. And sally helped me see that. You were right. Yes, I was upset that connor called you first, but it wasn’t because of my ego. It was because I felt like I let him down. If I had just been a better father, you know, hell, if I had– had just been there for him when he was little.

Chelsea: Sally’s right. Connor knows how much you love him. So do I. I have to be honest with you. I’m– I’m surprised to see you come around like this. In the past, you…

Adam: Probably would have dug in and doubled down.

Chelsea: Yeah, exactly.

Adam: I’m working on controlling my less than productive tendencies.

Chelsea: Oh, well look at you.

[ Phone ringing ]

Adam: It’s connor. What do I say? You want to wait? Should I call him back?

Chelsea: Answer it. Let’s talk to him together.

Adam: Connor, buddy. I’m here with your mom.

Billy: Hey.

Devon: Hey, billy.

Billy: So, I heard you had a meeting with sharon about finalizing the partnership.

Devon: Yes, we did. And it went really well, actually. And nate has some numbers to share with you and jill, so we can get them back over to sharon as soon as possible.

Billy: Seems like something I should have been a part of. Sharon agrees, actually. Is there a reason why I was excluded?

Devon: You weren’t excluded on purpose. The meeting just came together quickly and I knew we wanted to keep the ball rolling, so I made it happen. We didn’t sign any contracts or anything like that.

Billy: Well, you can’T. Not without me.

Nate: Uh, billy, if you have any issues with the numbers, uh, we can adjust. Nothing’s been set in stone.

Devon: Yeah, nobody’s making deals behind your back. We told sharon that we have to run all the points by you and jill. And I think you’re going to be really impressed, too, because nate’s done a fantastic job.

Nate: This is going to be an exciting venture. Lots of potential.

Billy: Great. Happy to hear that. So let’s just chalk it up to a scheduling mishap. Make sure it doesn’t happen again. Because this is all about collaboration, right? That’s how we keep chancellor-winters strong.

Devon: Yeah.

Nate: Agreed. Mm-hmm.

Billy: Great. Because I don’t think we’re free of tucker’s threat. So, let’s get this deal done as soon as we can, so we become so big that he can’t mess with us. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a meeting of my own. Give me those numbers when you can, and I’ll get to them. Thanks, guys.

Devon: Yep.

Traci: I swear, I am not implying there is anything wrong with your mental state. I’m just saying, tucker has worked his way into your head. He’s taking up undeserved space there. He’s not worth it.

Ashley: Damn right, he’s not.

Traci: And I really believe that it would just be better for you to move on, surrounded by your family. Staying here in paris, it’s just reminding you of the trauma.

Ashley: Yeah. You’re not wrong. This place has a lot of bad energy. I can’t wait to be rid of it.

Traci: Oh, thank god. Thank god. Let’s go home. I will call the jet.

Ashley: I’m not ready to go. I’m not leaving. To 50 years with my best friend.

Chelsea: Okay, mister. Well, we can’t wait to see you over parents weekend.

Adam: Yeah, you got this. We love you.

Billy: I take it that’s connor. How’s he doing?

Chelsea: Yeah, he sounded good, right?

Adam: Uh, he’s a little shaky, but I think he’s on board with the school’s plan.

Chelsea: Yeah, well, he sounded a lot better than the first time I spoke to him, so…

Billy: Great. Glad to hear that.

Adam: I think he’s relieved that there’s a solution. He seemed to relax a little bit when he realized that other kids deal with similar issues.

Chelsea: Yeah, and we’re going to set up a schedule for video calls so we can check in on him every once in a while.

Adam: Low-key. Not to make it seem like there’s anything wrong.

Chelsea: Yes. Just to show support and tell him how excited we are for our next visit.

Billy: Well, that’s great. Sounds like a very solid plan. I have to say, it’s really nice to see you both in a cooperative space.

Adam: In other words, you think I would revert to form and run up there and blow up?

Billy: In one word, yeah.

Adam: Well, luckily, chelsea helped me see that that was not the way to go.

Chelsea: Actually, I’m the one that went off on adam this time.

Adam: Well, in a good way, for good reason. I assume you know how lucky you are to have her in your life.

Billy: I do indeed.

Nate: Do you agree with billy about tucker still being a threat to the company? I’ve been focused on your personal relationship with tucker. Wasn’t thinking in terms of him coming after chancellor-winters.

Devon: Well, business and… personal, family, are one and the same for tucker, so…

Nate: So, you are worried?

Devon: I mean, I try not to worry about things I can’t control, but I’m not going to let my guard down. The plan is to keep him out of every part of my life, which he’s aware of, but he’s also aware that I’m keeping my eyes out for any moves that he makes.

Nate: I don’t know. I don’t see tucker as an imminent threat to chancellor-winters. He just fired the board at glissade, hired a new group of loyalists. There’s still a lot of damage control to do before he thinks of looking elsewhere.

Devon: Yeah, but his whole life is damage control, which he thrives on. So, I think we all just need to stay on alert.

Nate: Well, you know, if– if tucker is making a move, there could be an advantage to having audra as a friend.

Audra: Ah. Now that we’ve enjoyed our pleasant lunch, how about you tell me what your plans are for next steps at glissade?

Tucker: Patience is not your best attribute, is it?

Audra: Nor yours. Why can’t you just tell me, okay? Why are you stalling?

Tucker: Didn’t we say that keeping each other guessing is more exciting?

Audra: Sure. About the long game. But we’re talking short term. You can’t keep me in the dark, tucker. I need to know if I made a mistake opening up to you.

Tucker: You didn’T. I promise. Wow.

Ashley: I’m going to stay. I need to talk this out with someone.

[ Traci sighs ]

Traci: Okay, if that’s what you want, and that’s what you need, then that is what we will do. I will stay here with you, and I will listen.

Ashley: I want you to go. I need you to go. Please, alone. I’m going to stay here and talk this out with a friend of mine that’s in paris. I need peace of mind right now, more than anything. I need peace of mind.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

ladio, no, listen to me. Somebody tried to take me out on my own private island. And you haven’t found out who it is yet? Okay, listen.[ Knock on door ] I’m gonna give you 24 hours to find out who it is. If not, I’m gonna find a new head of security. Do you understand me?! Hey. Sonny. I can’t believe spencer’s gone. Yeah, I can’t either. Come on in. I’m sorry about spencer. Ah. He was, uh… well, he was one of a kind, right? Yeah. Um, how’s alexis holding up? Mom is doing what she does best and just diving into work.

[ Knock on door ] Come in. Just wanted to let you know that, uh, I’ll be unavailable for the next couple of hours. Okay. I’m taking tracy to a, uh, well, it’s either a late lunch or an early dinner. Whatever it is, it’s in the name of future in-law solidarity. Good. Have fun. Alexis, is everything okay? No, everything is not okay. My nephew, spencer, is dead. I need better… hay! Look at this. T-this is wrong. This is so, so very wrong. It’s coarse. It’s brittle. It’s dry. It’s icky. I know, we tried the artificial hay, but it was reading fake, so I put it back on the truck. Oh, I don’t care. You know what we’re selling? Come on, we’re selling rustic romance, not barnyard reality. I’ll get right on that. Oh, wait. Yes. Um, did martin happen to call for me at the office? No. Ah. Uh, but, you know, I really need for him to know where to find me. I left him a message about the photo shoot. Oh, great. Um, did you leave him all that — the time, the location, and my number, in case, for any reason, he couldn’t reach you. Okay. Thank you. Mm-hmm. Um, so, why are you still standing there? You know what we need? Oh. Giddy up. Go. Giddying up. Yeah. Giddy, giddy. Yahoo. Oh, martin, have you even called? No, not a text. Nothing. Fine. If you’re t gonna call me, then I will call you again and again. Oh, not to worry, lucy. I’m here. Yay. Great. Um, listen, I could really use some good news, so please tell me, how did it go with tracy and the flowers? I don’t know. I haven’t talked to her. That is not good news, is it? Well, I-I can’t get her to just call me. Well, why don’t you call her? Well, that would look desperate. Okay, then you could call her in a non-desperate way. And you need to make it fast, ’cause marty is so annoyed with me, you know? And I can’t really tell him what exactly we’re up to — our plan to take revenge on tracy. So could you please just call tracy and fast? Okay, lucy, take it easy.

[ Sighs ]

[ Line ringing ]

[ Cellphone ringing ]

[ Chuckles ] Unh-unh, scott. You’re gonna have to twist a little bit longer. Hello, martin. Are you okay? Actually, no. You’re gonna have to forgive me, ms. Quartermaine, but at present, I neither have the will nor the patience to entertain any of your constant insinuations about lucy and scott. As I’ve stated ad nauseam, lucy’s past is none of my business. Well, isn’t that just the problem? Lucy never puts the past behind her, and when she gets involved with someone, scott comes sniffing around just like he is now. You know, if you’re gonna ke the accusation, least you could do is provide some evidence. Oh, okay. You want evidence? Well…the other day, when you and lucy had your little public dustup… scott bolted off, abandoned me… to go comfort lucy. O’neill’s in custody. Oh, good. Jordan ashford… meet jagger cates. John, please. I’ve outgrown the old nickname. How do you two know each other? John is a friend of my daughter robin’S. Tell her she owes me an e-mail from six months ago. I-I’ll mention it. So, can you fill us in on this investigation? Well, I’m the special agent in charge, and you two are interfering. My agents told you to stay out of this. You should have listened.

[ Gasps ] Hello, mother. Nikolas. Oh, my god, thank god. Thank god you and ace are alright. Oh, thank god.

[ Voice breaking ] I heard that, spencer… is it true? Yes. Spencer’s gone. W-what happened? Come in. Come in. Spencer went overboard. He was on a ship on the seine. The french authorities weren’t able to find his body, but the evidence suggests that he couldn’t have survived that. Was it esme? Yes. Which means spencer is dead because I took ace. My son is dead because of me.

[ Sobs ]

If you don’t mind my asking, what did the two of you fight about? Actually, I do mind. That is personal. It’s between lucy and myself. Don’t tell me the two of you broke up. No, we did not. I am so sorry to disappoint you. I’m sorry. I’m sorry to see what lucy has done to you. Don’t you get it that scott and lucy cannot stay away from each other? And worse than that, they don’t want to. I don’t know why tracy cooled on me. You know, I thought I was making progress with her, you know? In fact, she even got a little jealous when she saw me paying attention to you and your dandy of a boyfriend. Your little squabble. You mean before you abandoned tracy in the middle of the metro court? Well, I was worried about you. Great. Well, how is being worried about me endearing yourself to tracy? Well, pardon me, lucy, for thinking about your emotional well-being. My emotional well-being is just fine. I am fine. Fine, fine, fine. I mean, it — it — it will be. I know marty is really angry, but I just think I can convince him to work things out with me, you know? Maybe you can. Maybe you can’T. I can, and I will. Is this guy really worth it? Yeah, of course he is. I mean, we’re just hitting a-a rough patch, you know? We — we really are good together. We are. Well, then… I hope you work things out. Do you really? No. I just want you to be happy. I gotta go. I-I gotta go right now. I need — I need to — to find marty now. Right this minute. I’m gonna go look for him. What about the tracy business? Oh, don’t worry. We’ll take care of it. Uh, you stay put. Um, I’ll be right back. Stay. I briefly spoke with trina. She’s broken up. She’s with ava right now. What’s happening with that? How long is ava staying here with you? It’s open-ended. I mean, ava’s is going through a lot right now, and at least we get more time to spend with — with avery. I’m amazed the two of you have been able to coexist this long. Well, you know, avery’s happy with her mother, and that’s what matters. How was the, uh, family vacation on the island? It had its moments. I’m afraid I’ve got to get going. Oh, I didn’t even offer you coffee. Can I — I’m — I’m good. I’m gonna check on my mom at the invader. Okay. Okay, I’ll — I’ll see you at home. Yeah. I love you. I love you, too. Bye, sonny. Uh, you want to tell me what’s really going on? Death is never easy, especially when you’re blindsided. I just can’t believe that spencer’s gone. No, I know, but, uh, it feels like maybe there’s something else happening. You got extra security? Was there some kind of threat? There was an incident on the island. An incident? What do you mean an incident? Somebody almost took me out. Curtis ashford is my ex-husband. He almost died in the shooting. I understand that, but neither of you are law enforcement. Not anymore. You’re not even deputized. So I’m telling you, stop pursuing this.

Or you could deputize us. Oh. Problem solved. That’s not happening. But don’t you understand? Jordan and I were there when curtis was shot. I don’t see how you could expect us to walk away. Because this is an fbi investigation. And curtis ashford’s shooting is only one part of something much… much bigger. We’d all have been much better off if esme had just left town. My nephew would be alive if I didn’t offer her that job. But you gave her a chance to prove herself. And she did. She proved to be a capable assistant. She proved to us all that she was a capable mother. All of that because of your generosity of spirit. No good deed. I don’t believe reaching out to someone else is ever a mistake. Well, it clearly was a mistake, wasn’t it? And now we’re all well down that road to hell that I helped build. Nikolas is god-knows-where with ace and spencer is dead. Ace is finally down for a nap.

[ Sniffles ] I didn’t want your son to see you that upset, nikolas.

[ Sniffles ] You mean my one remaining son. Thank you. I — I wasn’t thinking. It’s okay. You’re in shock. We all are. I thank god that you still have ace. That is something to be really grateful for. It’s so good that you came home. You need to be with your family now. I was afraid you’d slam the door in my face. I suppose I-I maybe should have after everything you put me through. You know that you should never have taken ace, right? I know. And it’s what led to my spencer’s death. Sit down. Please. Please sit down. This is important. Okay. I want you to listen to me. You are not responsibl for spencer’s death. You didn’t do that. Esme did it, okay? Esme was trying to attack trina, and spencer tried to stop her. I know, and he lost his life in the process. I know. I know I didn’t put him in the seine, mother, but my actions did put himin esme’s osshairs. And I-I-I don’t even know how you can look at me right now. You are my son. I love you. I will always love you. I will always be here for you. Always. Thank you.

[ Sniffles ] I know I… I don’t deserve your kindness. Yes, you do. Honey, you do. You did the right thing by coming back here. You’re not gonna stay, are you? I can’T. If I stay, I’ll go to prison. You held a pregnant woman captive for months. Has it occurred to you that maybe you belong in prison? I know it’s what I deserve, but I still have one son who needs me. I-I’m sorry, mother, but — but I have to go. Are you kidding me? If that’s the kind of man you are, if that’s the kind of father you are, he would be better off without you.

Hi. Um, your secretary told me where I could find you. I-I suppose I should be glad that you allowed her to tell me. Well, I needed a little space. And do you still? Yeah. As youish. Um, you know, before I go, I-I just need to say, um… it’s really hard to apologize to you if you won’t answer my phone calls. Honestly, I’m not sure there’s much to say. Oh, come on, for god’s sake. Really, it was just a slip of the tongue. I said I loved you, and I did. Before that moment, during this moment, at this moment, I-I love you. I don’t know what happened, I just panicked. I made a mistake. I think we both know how you meant it. No, pl– please just give me another chance. I don’t understand. Your island is like a fortress. How does someone get that close to you? We’re looking into it, dante. Looking into it? What do you mean? The shooter got away? I don’t want to talk right now. I don’t want any questions or anything. I’m not in the mood. I’m on your side. You know that, right? Well, really? ‘Cause it didn’t seem that way when I was being cuffed… okay. …And you were reading my rights. We already talked about that. You don’t want to be arrested, don’t beat people up in churches. Okay, I’ll take that as good advice. Hey, listen. You’re my father. No matter what, I love you no matter what. And I want to help you if I can. You’re right. You’re right. I-I… I shouldn’t have snapped. It’s just that I don’t know who to trust anymore. What are you saying? This was an inside job? Nikolas: You’re right. My — my taking ace wasn’t the only thing that led to spencer’s death. The loneliness that… led him to being vulnerable to esme in the first place… allowing him and all of you to believe that… that I was dead. Now, w-what kind of father does that to his little boy? Nikolas, this — no, ace is better off without me. Okay, I’m gonna — I’m gonna leave him here with you and kevin where he belongs, and I’m gonna disappear. It’s best if my son never sees me again. That’s not what I meant. You know that. I know, but I’m agreeing with you. I want ace to have a good life. Yes. He deserves to have a good life with his father. Nikolas, if you would just face the mistakes that you made and take responsibility for them, it’s not too late for you to have a good life, too.

I am so, so sorry. I have been distracted. I’ve been so worried about keeping my eyes on tracy and scott. But you got to believe me. It’s — it’s, um — it’s more about tracy, really, than scott. Well, this isn’t about scott. It isn’t? No. Buttercup, it’s about you and me. About us. You’ve been moving away from me little by little, inch by inch, for quite a while now, until finally, when bobbie spencer died, you…wanted to be with somebody else. With him, not me. No, it — it — it’s just because bobbie and scott and i have had a long and complicated, very turbulent history. That’s all. It’s kind of a tired euphemism for a garden variety love triangle, isn’t it? Doesn’t really matter regardless. I mean, whatever the reason is, simple fact is that now, whenever you require solace, your instinct is to turn to scott. That’s got to say something about you and me, doesn’t it? Gregory: Sorry to keep you waiting. Well, that’s okay. Uh, I’ve been kept waiting longer, believe me. I see you found something to keep you occupied.

[ Chuckles ] Those two? Who wouldn’t be curious? Given their expressions, I would imagine they’re discussing the same subject that held me up. What would that be? Uh, you don’t know? Um, I’m not sure how well you knew him, but, uh, martin’s great-nephew, spencer cassadine, was killed in paris. Thank you for coming. Yeah, just tell me what I can do to help. Apparently it’s incumbent on me to have to write spencer’s obituary, and I have no idea where to begin. Ooh, that’s a lot. Um… wow, mom, I don’t know. He had a lot of flair. He did indeed. And if I have to talk about him in the past one more time, I’m gonna lose it. I bet you I can make you smile with one word. No, I bet you can’T. Chupacabra. Chupacabra.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, I forgot about that. And it turned out to be heather webber hiding in the stables. And all along we thought it was spencer ’cause he insisted. Do you remember when spencer went all “phantom of the opera” at the nurses’ ball? Yeah, he dropped those sandbags on cameron, right? And then there was the, um… election tampering, where he sent his chauffeur into the harbor to retrieve the stolen ballot box. Wow. I think that covers the big ticket items from when he was about…10.

[ Both laugh ] Spencer was a dramatic child. Never ceased to amaze me. Damn right. He was a brilliant kid. And he had a lot to offer. And now all we have are memories. Out of professional respect for you both, I’m gonna bring you up to speed on a few things, if only to persuade you that we have this under control so you can let it alone. Got it? By all means. Please. The rifle that was used to shoot curtis ashford is one of a large number of unmarked weapons stolen from the wsb. Other weapons from the same cache have been used in a string of shootings throughout the us. I’m afraid that’s all I can tell you. Oh, come on. Don’t be ridiculous. Come on, anna, you know how much I respect you. And I’m aware of your exemplary record as police commissioner of port charles. Thank you. But again, neither of you are currently law enforcement. I can’t have you conducting your own investigation. Of course you can’T. Thank you for understanding. So bring us in. We can work together. No, it is too late for me. I made all the wrong choices. And in the process… I lost my son. But ace is still here. Instead of giving him up, do what it takes to deserve a place in his life. By going to prison. You have got to make this right, nikolas. You have to. You have to fix what you can. And you have to atone for the rest of it. I’m sorry, but it’s the only way. It’s the only way that you can go back to being the good man that you were. I don’t know if I can do that. You’ve got to try. For ace’s sake, you’ve got to, please. Please, nikolas. We’ve just lost spencer. Don’t make me lose you again, too.

You really still have faith in me? Always. Even if I was to run away today. That would break my heart. But I would still hold out hope that you would one day find the strength to come back, to be a good father to the child you have left. Hm. I’m amazed you think I have any strength. I know you do. Because I saw it in spencer. And he got it from you.

[ Sobs ] Come on now.

[ Sobbing ] Come on now. Thanks for letting me know. Your superiors need a little bit more convincing before they bring us in? Actually, I’ve just been informed that you two have blown my best lead. How could we possib– mr. O’neill. The gun dealer you met with tonight in your little citizens’ stinoperation. He was supplying the unsub with weapons. Well, he has just lawyered up and is refusing to talk without the promise of full immunity, which my boss will not sign off on. So thanks so much for your help. I am sorry about that. You being sorry doesn’t do me a lot of good right now. If you really want to help, tell me all about the meeting with the dealer. Did you get anything useful from him? I have been different since bobbie died, you know. Her death affected me in… ways I never even considered. You know, losing a loved one will do that to you.

[ Chuckles ] Don’t you see? That’s just it. We didn’t love e– I mean, we didn’t even like each other. I think probably sometimes we — well, maybe hates too strong of a word, but we certainly never got along. And it — it wasn’t just because of scott. There were so many other reasons. Well, one way or another, she was important to you. I-I — she was. Think about it. I mean, you saw each other at your best, but over the years, you got to know each other… intimately at your worst, and that forms some kind of bond. I guess I never really thought about it that way, but… yeah. Yes. Now…you lose that person, that bond gets broken. All of a sudden, you look at your life with a new sense that… time really is short. That it’s precious. You get to realize the importance of… letting go of something when it just… isn’t working anymore. And we’re not working. I’m sorry to be the one to tell you. I didn’t realize you and spencer were close. Well, we weren’t close. I-I hardly knew him. Well, I-I don’t know all the details, but apparently esme prince was involved. She’s also missing and presumed dead. That is all a tragedy. How’s alexis? Grieving. I’m sure. And blaming herself. For what? For taking a chance on esme. I believe esme was making a sincere effort to be a better person, and she was proving to be an excellent mother, much to everyone’s surprise, so… I mourn the loss of the person that she could have been if her father hadn’t manipulated her feelings, turning her into a bitter, angry young woman. The shooter knew the layout and security so well that he got past the guards. He even knocked one guard out. Well, now I can see why you think it was someone from within your organization. You got any ideas? Not yet. But we’ll see. What next, detective? We question suspects. You mean the people that are closest to me? Everyone. We question everyone, no matter how much it hurts. Everyone is guilty until proven otherwise.

Alright, so how do we distill “the best of spencer cassadine” in 450 words? Mom, I think you just focus on the positive. So we leave out his teenage crime spree. I think we focused on what made spencer spencer. His love for drama,obviously. Of all kinds. Yes. How about his love for horseback riding? His quick wit. Both in quips and schemes. His resiliency. You knowspencer acting all shallow and spoiled when he was little… he was pretending. It wasn’t real. He was just guarded. And he was fearful,and he had every right to be. But then he grew up, and he really opened up and allowed us to see who he really was. And he was… …a gift. So much has happened between you and me. But now there’s this thing with scott. No, I swear to you, it’s not what you think. No. It’s — it’s something. I swear it’s not. It’s not.Lucy, it’s something. And whatever it is tends to eclipse whatever we are… or might have been. Now…I’d be the first person to admit I haven’t always been the most honorable man. But I love you.

[ Inhales deeply ] Oh, I love you. More than I ever loved any of the w– the women I married. You know, and that’s, uh… that’s done something for me. Now, I know I don’t want to spend too much time looking over my shoulder wondering what the hell is going on. I think… I think I deserve better.

[ Inhales sharply ] Bye, lucy.

[ Stammering ] G-g-goodbye?

[ Sobbing ] Thanks. I’ll call right now. I am sorry, tracy. Um, my doctor’s referring me to a new specialist, and I have to make an appointment right away. That’s — go right ahead. Take your time. Thanks. And I — I — I am sorry. I didn’t realize that spencer’s death would affect you so much. Oh. Thank you. I’ll be fine.

[ Sobbing ] Oh, for crying out — lucy! What took you so long? Uh-oh. What happened?

[ Exhales deeply ] Marty broke up with me. He said… he said… wait a minute. If he insulted you, I will knock his teeth out. And then I’ll slap a lawsuit on the dentist that fixes them. No, he said that he deserves… better.

[ Sobbing ] Oh. So you did get something from our gunrunner friend. Yeah. We learn something about the unidentified subject. But rather than just give you that information… after which you almost certainly would discard us. …I propose that… we have an exchange of information. Like we tell you everything we learned from the dealer, and you tell us everything you know about the unsub so far. Everythingor everything is a fair trade. Yeah? I mean, look, for starters, obviously we don’t believe that curtis was the intended target. We think it was sonny corinthos. Well, believe it or not, the fbi did consider the possibility that the crime boss may have been a more logical target than the nightclub owner. Well, there you go. And sonny has reason to believe that whoever is after him is still trying. So whatever you can tell us about the unsub could be incentive for him to tell us what he knows. You want me to provide you with intel that you plan on sharing with sonny corinthos? The man should have been in prison decades ago. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself. Well, that’s the sonny that you remember. It’s not the one that I know. Only because that’s the sonny he shows you. Perhaps. But I can keep him in line. Really? Because nobody’s ever been able to put a leash on sonny corinthos. Maybe I’ll be the first. Thanks for coming through for me like this. Yeah, yeah. Of course. You know, things have just — they haven’t been easy. I mean with michael and nina. What I’m trying to say is I — it’s hard to trust anyone, but I know I can trust you. Yeah, you’re damn right you can. And I promise you, this stays between us.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Ah, it’s laura. Laura. Hey, what’s going on? I’m home. I need you to come over as soon as possible. Why? Is everything okay? I’m here with nikolas. He’s ready to turn himself in.

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

[sighs] This is so peaceful, huh?

Mm-hmm. It’s perfect– crackling fire, winter wind blowing.

You know, when I was a kid, I used to be afraid to come out here at night. I used to think that the ghosts of my DiMera ancestors would grab me and take me off to the crypt.

Mm, those creepy DiMera spirits…

[chuckles]

Are those the ones cursing anyone marrying into this family?

[soft dramatic music]

Could be. Honestly, nothing would surprise me.

Wait a minute. You’re not really afraid for us to get married, are you?

Oh, thank you so much for this evening, Abraham.

[chuckles] Oh great food, great food and even better company.

[chuckles] I had a wonderful time.

[laughs]

[tender music]

Well… You know, tonight doesn’t have to end right here. I mean, you could come inside.

Oh, no, no, no, it’s all right. It’s all right. I– Good night.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on.

I can’t believe you’re here again in my arms.

Mm.

You know, for two years, I had the same dream over and over. Actually, I was in a coma for a year, and I wasn’t really dreaming then. But for a solid year, I had this dream where late one night, you’d show up at my door, and I’d sweep you off your feet with my romantic declarations of love. We’d take each other’s clothes off and… well, you can imagine the rest, or I guess you don’t have to.

Mm.

[laughter] Wow. So tonight was your fantasy?

Actually, tonight was my dream come true. My fantasy is I’m a rugged ship captain, and you show up at my cabin door dressed as a sexy Viking warrior.

[gasps] Oh. I will have to remember that.

[laughs]

Yeah, you should remember that.

Yeah.

We’re out of the friend zone!

[laughter]

Oh.

Now, you see, I thought it was gonna turn out to be the scientist’s mentor who killed his wife. I mean, he was already upset that the protégé had eclipsed him, and so he offed the wife to set him up for the murder.

Mm-mm. I figured early on it was the mother. I mean, she was too obsessed with him, always had to know where he was every second. She wanted her son’s wife out of the picture.

Mm, well, you were right. Are you sure you haven’t seen this movie before?

I just know a thing or two about meddling moms.

[soft dramatic music]

Uh-oh. What has my mom done now?

Well, that happened.

Yeah.

Twice.

Yeah.

It was incredible.

Yeah.

And a big fricking mistake.

Yeah.

You don’t want to play games with me. What do you want?

Thank you for coming. Sit down, Mr. Black. You and I are going to talk.

Just tell me what you want. So why do you pretend to be a new client just to get me out here?

[chuckles] Would you have come if you’d known it was me?

Damn straight, I would have. Saves me the trouble of tracking your ass down because you’re right, Konny. You and I, we’re gonna talk. And you’re gonna tell me everything that you know about The Pawn.

[tense music]

[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”

I’m afraid I do not play chess, Mr. Black.

Knock it off. Steve told me everything. You told him you know about The Pawn. Now I want to know what you know, and I want to know right now. Is this about Stefano?

I do not know about this Stefano. No, John, this is about Victor and his Pawn.

[tense music]

Italian families can be pretty superstitious. I mean, for example, a lot of my ancestors used to wear this necklace charm called The Devil’s Horn to ward off the evil eye.

Evil eye?

Yeah. It’s called the malocchiocurse. And someone who’s jealous of you can give you the evil eye without even meaning to. Yeah, there’s a lot of Italian superstitions.

Oh, yeah? Give some examples.

Some examples? OK. Um, it is bad luck to have a pet bird in your house. It’s also bad luck to leave a loaf of bread upside-down. The number , obviously, bad luck. Ooh, here’s one. So when a newlywed couple moves into a house…

Mm-hmm.

It has to be exorcised, or at least blessed, to ward off any evil spirits left behind by the previous owners.

Ooh.

On the other hand, a cat sneezing in your presence is considered good luck.

[laughs] OK. Well, then we will just have to get a cat then.

[laughs] Oh, come on, G. You don’t actually believe all that stuff, do you?

I–

[sighs] Look, after what my uncle Chad said to me, my family’s history is riddled with women who have either been heartbroken or messed up for marrying a DiMera– I mean, from getting kidnapped to brainwashed to death.

[dramatic music] And look what happened the last time we got married.

Yeah, yeah, that did leave me pretty messed up and heartbroken.

So maybe we should just be, you know, happy being with each other, just being with each other.

Chanel, I–

I love you too much to risk ruining your life by marrying me again.

You know, when I came to Salem and I tracked you down, I didn’t really know what to expect because I’d sort of been obsessively looking at pictures and videos of you from…

[chuckles] From two years ago. And I’d look at them before I went to sleep. I’d wake up in the morning, and I’d maybe sort of look at them. Anyway, when I saw you in real life standing in front of me, I didn’t think it was possible for you to surprise me with how beautiful you are.

[tender music]

You want to know what I thought when I first saw you here in Salem after not having seen you for two years?

Are you kidding me? Of course, I want to know.

I thought… “There’s the guy that I was so madly in love with I could hardly see straight.” And in spite of how rattled I was, more than rattled, I was shocked.

But even so… I was hard for me to stop myself from running into your arms and just holding you so, so tightly. I wanted to tell you how mad I was that you disappeared but how relieved I was that it wasn’t by choice, how relieved I was that you found me again.

But as you know, I was– I was committed to someone else at the time. I was living with Chad, and so that obviously stopped me from acting on how I actually felt.

Understandably.

That’s the reason that I was able to show such…

[sighs] Remarkable restraint…

Until tonight.

You hungry?

Mm-hmm, starving.

You know what the nice thing is about living in a hotel?

[together] Room service.

Yeah. On it.

That mom comment just flew out of my mouth. I shouldn’t have said anything.

No, you can’t take it back now. Just– just tell me.

[soft dramatic music]

OK. I will. Your mom cornered me in the apartment and kind of grilled me.

[sighs] About?

Well, it started out with her reminding me how much you hate almond milk, and then it pretty much went downhill from there. Yeah, in a nutshell, she questioned my commitment to you, then warned me to not break your heart.

Wendy, I’m– I’m so sorry.

Look, you– you were right when you said your mom was kind of a handful. No offense.

No, I get it. Nothing– nothing new there. No, but it does rile me up that she would talk to you like that behind my back. But she is Ava Vitali. And you know, she is my mom, and I love her very much. I will never understand why the woman does some of the things she does.

[groans] Oh, God.

Ouch.

Oh, Gabi.

Oh.

You know…

When I first told Gabi about this fake affair, she was completely supportive. She says, “As long as it stays fake, mi amor.” Look at me now. What have I done? What is wrong with me? What’s wrong with you, huh?

Me?

Yeah.

Me? You’re the one who came– ow– over here. And you– you took my sushi from the delivery guy.

You’re the one who wound me up with all the phone sex talk.

Oh my– are you kidding? I mean, who– who was the one who said, “Let’s open another bottle of wine”? Huh?

Who was the one who said, “Let’s do shots?”

[shushing] Stop it. OK? Shh. We’re both responsible. OK, responsible. We were vulnerable, and it was a big screw-up.

Yeah.

No kidding.

Yeah. OK. So we’re just gonna figure out– we’re going to figure out a way to put this all behind us. OK? And there’s really nothing to figure out, right? Because the only way to deal with this is no one can ever know the truth.

[tense music]

Wait a minute. I don’t get all of this sudden panic about us getting married. Aren’t you the one who gave me the whole carpe diem spiel? And, “oh, Chanel, I love you so much. I don’t want to wait.”

I do love you so much, and I don’t want to wait. I also don’t want anything to happen to you. I mean, you can make fun of curses and superstitions all you want, but I was possessed by the devil. I’m pretty sure you recall. Who knows what the future can hold? I just– I just don’t know if I want you taking this kind of risk.

Yeah, well, life in general is pretty risky, as we both know. And, hey, if the devil couldn’t keep us apart, then the DiMeras sure as hell can’t. And I truly believe all we have to do is love each other and be honest. And that will keep us safe. So in short, I have zero worries about us walking down that aisle. But now suddenly you do.

I mean, it’s not all that sudden. It’s just the more I think about it–

Wait, wait a minute. Is this really about what Chad said? Or are you having second thoughts about something else?

[soft dramatic music]

I probably shouldn’t say this to a man with amnesia, but I’m having deja vu.

[laughs] So what are you remembering?

Just the many times that we’d lay together here just like this.

[tender music] Did anything feel familiar to you?

No. But I promise you, it was wonderful.

Hmm. So I guess for you, it was like the very first time.

It was. It was. You know the good thing about losing my memory?

Hmm?

I get to fall in love with you all over again.

[laughter]

And I told her the only opinions that matter in our relationship are yours and mine.

Wendy, I am so sorry that my mom put you on the spot like that. But no surprise, you held your own against her.

Oh, and once again, she tried to convince me that you and I need to take a vacation. And she even offered to help me plan a romantic getaway on her. Clearly, she’s still trying to get us out of town.

Even though I’ve told her that we’re not going anywhere?

Yeah, well, obviously she’s not listening. She really did not like it when I turned the tables on her and started quizzing her about Harris and Stefan.

What did you ask?

How she felt about them. I mean, she totally shut me down and wouldn’t say anything.

Yeah, of course, she wouldn’t. She has been spending a lot of time with Stefan lately, which is not a good sign. I mean, not only do I dislike the guy, but I think whatever my mom is messed up in, Stefan’s behind it, just using her like the leech that he is.

Yes, of course, this stays between us. Gabi can never find out. Nobody can ever find out the truth.

Exactly. It never happened.

It never happened.

We take it to our graves.

Yeah, you had better, especially because, me, I got a lot more at stake,

What? How so?

How so? Because I’m married, OK? You and Mr. Clean, you’re not even seeing each other anymore.

Oh, so it’s OK if he finds out. Look, I don’t want him to know the truth either.

He already thinks we’re sleeping together. What’s the–you know what? Fine. OK? Miss Fabio, no argument from me. But let me remind you, I got a hell of a lot more to lose than you do.

So, what’s The Pawn to you?

The Pawn changed my life forever.

How? Tell me what you know about me, about my past.

[chuckles] I wonder what is inside of you waiting to come out. I can see it in your eyes, the eyes of a killer.

Damn it, Konstantin. There are so many– too many things that I don’t remember about my past. And now you show up here taunting me?

That is the least of what you deserve.

Tell me what you know about me right now.

[suspenseful music]

It’s so good.

Mm.

Oh.

Sorry, they didn’t have pasta with meat sauce on the menu. I know that’s your go-to for recharging.

All right, can’t beat a grilled cheese as a late night snack on a cold winter’s night. And you remembered to get ranch for our fries.

How could I forget how you take your fries?

[laughs]

Also that you hate olives, love anchovies, prefer rye bread over white. I can keep going.

I am impressed.

I also remember…

Hmm.

[tender music]

[laughs] What? What else?

Every inch of you.

Hey, look. There’s our geocaching event.

Oh, Caching Cupid– they used your title. I hope it kills. The hospital could really use the funding.

Well, the website’s been getting a ton of traffic. I set it up to maximize search engine optimization.

Mm, OK, well, now you’re turning me on with all this techie talk.

Really? Well, have I told you about the geodetic data?

Hmm.

Keep talking like this, and we won’t be able to wait for the apartment.

HTTPS is an extension of the hypertext transfer protocol.

We better hurry, woman.

[laughs]

Hey, you know what? I don’t understand the hold that that guy has on you. It’s not like you guys are married. Yeah, you’re not even together. You don’t even love the guy.

[soft dramatic music]

[laughs] Oh, wait a minute. You love Harris.

Look, I never said that.

You didn’t have to. You are wearing it all over your sleeve.

OK. You know what? It really doesn’t matter anyway, right? You know, I’m going to request that you shut up and maybe finish getting dressed so we can get you the hell out of here, OK?

OK, fine. Where is my shirt?

We brought everything in here in case Wendy and Tripp showed up. Come on. It’s here.

Well, it’s definitely not in here.

If you know as much about me as you claim you do, you know that I won’t hesitate to put a bullet through a man’s eye.

Or a woman’s either.

[tense music]

What does that mean?

You came at me, and Katerina got in the way.

I came at you? Whe–? Who’s Katerina?

[chuckles]

Tell me. Hands where I can see them.

I need you to see something and tell me what it means, and I will go away.

John. John? Are you OK? John.

[ominous music]

Who’s John?

[chuckles] If you are not John, then are you The Pawn?

I’ve been called that, yes.

Oh, finally. My God.

[speaks Greek] Finally, after all these years, I found you, the one who killed Katerina. There was a time many years ago in Greece, in Aria, you came to deliver a message, a message of death.

My beautiful Katerina.

John… someone must pay for that.

You know, it’s– it’s been a while since we’ve been together.

You’re not asking me to rate your performance, are you?

Oh, no, no, no, no. I was just– well, I don’t remember what you– don’t remember what you like or don’t like.

Oh, honey, I am not shy. You know I would tell you.

[laughter] But, well, I will say this, you were wonderful then, and you’re wonderful now.

[laughter] Oh, your side of the bed sure did miss you, Abraham. And so did I.

[tender music]

Chanel, I have zero second thoughts about marrying you, none whatsoever. OK, I just– I just want to make sure that you’re going into this with your eyes open.

Well, I told you that your big, tough family doesn’t scare me.

What about the other side?

You mean your mother?

No, although she can be quite scary. I was thinking more about my sister.

Your sister? You don’t really think that I still have feelings for Allie?

You did choose her once over me.

But I loved you first, and I love you last forever.

[soft dramatic music] What? You don’t believe me?

I just I can’t stop thinking about how crazy you guys were about each other.

Oh, my God. You’re worried that I prefer women.

You’re worried that I’m gay, aren’t you?

You know, I’m blown away that it’s been two years.

Mm. I mean, in some ways, it feels like it’s been forever, and in other ways, it feels like we’ve never been apart.

I mean, I haven’t been with anybody since the last time I was with you.

Well, you know my story. You weren’t in a coma for a year, so I think you get a pass.

Hmm. Thank you.

You want to hear something wild?

Hmm?

I think I grew more and more in love with you while we were apart.

An “absence makes the heart grow fonder” thing?

No, no, like a true love kind of thing. All I know is I have you back, and I am never, ever gonna let you go again.

You know, I should probably start thinking about getting out of this hotel room.

Oh, where would you go?

I don’t know. I mean, you could move out of your parents’ place. We could find a place on our own together, pick up where we left off. What do you say?

[tense music]

What the hell?

Tripp, Stefan, he was just–

I was just helping her out.

No, you save it. I’m not an idiot. OK?

You know what? I was just leaving.

Yeah, you better damn well leave.

OK, Tripp, calm down.

No, keep your paws off my mother, OK?

Tripp, Tripp, your mom’s a grown woman. She can be with whoever she wants.

No way. Not with this dirtbag.

Again, none of your business.

My mother is my business, OK? I’m not going to stand around and watch you use her. That is over. You hear me? You’re going to keep your distance from her from now on, or you are gonna regret it.

[tense music]

I wish we could lay like this forever… and all of our problems would just blow away.

[soft dramatic music]

Are you thinking about your surgery?

Actually, I went to the hospital this morning.

Why?

Well, because I think– I think the lump is actually getting bigger.

Why didn’t you tell me?

Oh, there’s nothing to tell yet. They did another ultrasound. I’m waiting to hear what they say. But, you know, being here with you like this, I feel like I can handle just about anything. And I forgot all about it for a little while. That’s no small thing.

[tender music] You have no idea how much this means to me.

Well, actually I do.

It’s overwhelming trying to navigate life with no memory, but you never gave up on me.

I was lost at sea. And you… you are my safe harbor.

And you’re mine.

Yes, I am. And I am going to be with you every step of the way now and always.

Look, I am not questioning your sexual orientation, OK? I’m just– I guess, if I’m being honest, I want to make sure, am I gonna be enough for you?

Johnny, listen to me, OK?

I am ready to commit myself to one person, and you are that person– you, OK? And no one else. You protected me even when we weren’t together, and you have shown me in a million ways that I am enough for you. And yes, Johnny, you are enough for me, more than enough, always and forever. I love you. I love you so much.

I love you too.

Whoa!

[laughs] Whoa! Slow your roll there, fella. Live together?

I’m boundary pushing again, aren’t I?

Yeah.

Yeah, you are.

Yeah.

Look, I moved in with Chad too fast. That was a big mistake. And as any relationship self-help book would tell you– and I’ve read my fair share– just there’s no need to rush. Just enjoy each other. And if it’s real, it’ll last.

OK. All right. But for me, it’s real. I already know that. There’s no doubt in my mind you’re the only person in the world that I want to share my life with, and that will never change.

[soft dramatic music]

What about you? Is it real for you?

[ominous music]

Move that trashcan over here.

[chuckles] At last. Yes. My Katerina will be avenged.

Katerina will be avenged.

Raise your right arm. Now lower it. And now, Mr. Black, let’s try something much more high stakes, shall we?

Put the gun to your head and pull the trigger.

[suspenseful music]

OK. So are we done now? Have we checked off every box on the list of our potential concerns? And are we now ready to vow to be true and love each other until death do us part?

Yeah. Yeah. OK. All right, it’s settled. So, are you ready to be Mrs. DiMera?

I don’t know. It depends. Are you ready to be Mr. Dupree?

Oh, oh, OK. Well, I guess we never really talked about the name change thing. Is there something you want to do about that?

You know what? We have had enough discussions for tonight. I think that the only thing left for us to do is to just seal our love with another kiss.

Yeah, that sounds good– sounds good to me.

[laughs]

[tender music]

Mm. You know what? There is– I’m sorry– there is one other thing left to do on our to-do list.

What?

I was thinking, and just thinking, that we should seal our love with a little more than a kiss.

Mm-hmm. I’ll race you to the bedroom.

Oh. OK.

[laughter] Whoa. Whoa. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

I don’t know how much sleep I’m gonna get tonight. I’ve got so much on my mind.

[sighs] But I am so very happy to have you back here, Abraham, in our bed.

It does feel right, doesn’t it?

Mm-hmm.

[sighs] You know, we could stay up all night and talk. We can do that. But I want you to know that I am– I’m here for you, Paulina, whatever you need, whatever you want.

Hey, please, let’s just take it slow, OK? There’s no rush. You’re not going to fall into another coma. And I’m not going anywhere. So let’s just live in the moment appreciate that we found each other again.

I do appreciate that beyond– beyond words.

And you’re right. You’re right. There’s no need to rush.

Except maybe– maybe to– to sleep. I have to meet Chad in a few hours.

Then why go to sleep at all?

Tripp, that is enough. Stefan, just– just– just– just go. Please, just– just go.

Fine, I– I will go.

OK.

Really?

I was– I was just– you know what? I’m not going to discuss this with my son. No. Uh-uh. No.

[soft dramatic music]

Stop. Not today. You will serve a purpose. You will be Konstantin’s Pawn, and I will have revenge for my Katerina. But not yet. You will go back to your lovely family. And in seconds, you will return to who you are, Mr. Black.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Upbeat music ]

Rj: Good morning.

Luna: Have you been awake long?

Rj: A while.

Luna: What? You’ve just been watching me?

Rj: It’s just really hard not to.

Luna: Last night was…

Rj: Yeah, it sure was.

Luna: It’s more than I could have ever dreamed of.

[ Eric sighs ]

Donna: Hey. Are you hungry?

Eric: Uh, no. Actually, thanks. Not right now. Not right now.

Ridge: Hey.

Eric: Shouldn’t you two be at the office? Don’t you have that big important meeting with ronaldo this morning?

Ridge: How do you know about that?

Brooke: Are you spying on us?

Eric: Yeah, if you’d let me come into the office, I wouldn’t have to.

Ridge: We’d love to have you in the office. It’s not the same without you there.

Eric: I should certainly hope not. +Brooke: We do miss you and your sunny disposition. But there is this issue of your health.

Eric: Yes, we should be getting some news about that pretty soon. Finn’s on his way over here with my… my long-term prognosis. But then you two already know that, don’t you? That’s why they’re here, isn’t it?

Donna: Because we said no more secrets.

Eric: Yeah. Well… I’m happy for the company. I’m just hoping for some good news.

Ridge: Dad, you fought hard. You deserve this.

Finn: Hey, eric. I… I just let myself in.

Eric: We’re expecting you. I need to hear this news. What’s the… what’s my long-term prognosis?

Luna: Mm.

Rj: What? What is it? What– what’s wrong? Are you– you don’t need to check your breath. You’re fine. Hey, luna. Seriously, it’s okay. Come on, with how close we are after last night?

Luna: Well, I wouldn’t want to do anything to turn you off.

Rj: Turn– that is impossible. Okay? You’re stuck with me.

Finn: So, I met with the medical team.

Eric: And?

Finn: And, you know, as you know, we’ve… had a battery of extensive testing.

Eric: So, what is it? I mean, am I gonna get better? I’m gonna get back to full strength? Am I– how’s my quality of life gonna be? What–

Finn: Eric, your markers are right in line.

[ Donna gasps ] They’re better than what we had hoped.

Donna: Oh! Crack the science of stronger hair.

Rj: How do you feel?

Luna: Um, truthfully?

Rj: Yeah?

Luna: I don’t really know how to put it into words. Like… all of these emotions are hitting me at the same time. The… waking up with you in your bed and lying in your arms. Um…

Rj: Go on.

Luna: Part of me wondered if I’d feel the same afterwards.

Rj: The same how?

Luna: I don’t know. Like, maybe I’d feel like I– I lost something? Something special that I’ve been holding onto for years, but… it’s not like that. I mean, it definitely doesn’t feel the same. Like… I feel different. Like… more of a woman. More connected to another person. More connected than I ever knew possible. It was beautiful. You’re beautiful, rj.

Ridge: So, this is it. We can all breathe again. The procedure was a success.

Eric: I– I think this is cause for celebration, really.

Finn: It most definitely is. But small note of caution, you need to remain diligent, okay? As wonderful news as this is, you need to keep on the right track.

Donna: Oh, he will, won’t you, sweetheart?

Eric: Of course.

Donna: Yeah.

Eric: And see, this is exactly what I would expect from a medical dream team.

Brooke: And you’re keeping bridget apprised too, I assume.

Finn: Oh, yeah, of course. And to say that she was delighted and relieved would be an understatement.

Brooke: Meanwhile, you have your whole family to support you.

Ridge: Or whatever else you need.

Eric: Yeah, well, what I need is to get back to work. I need to design. I need to be creative.

Donna: He was up early sketching away.

Eric: Yeah, but not too early, though, I know. I agree that I’m– I’m going along with getting a lot of rest.

Ridge: See, that is your model patient right here.

Finn: What your father has done, the effort, the determination, that’s what’s made the difference. I mean, that’s why he is where he is today.

Ridge: You hear that? The whole medical community is impressed by you.

Donna: Well, you certainly impressed all of us.

Brooke: We are all blessed, eric. It wasn’t so long ago when you were struggling, facing what you were. And in the darkest hour, finn really came through for us.

Finn: Everyone had a part. You know, everyone was pulling their own weight. Especially this guy. Right there.

Eric: Now, finn, you– you saved my life. You did. And I thank you for that. And I’m gonna live this life the best way I can. I promise you that. (Vo) welcome to lobsterfest. Is your party ready?

Eric: And just like that, finn has gone back to the hospital to save more lives.

Donna: No doctor is more dedicated.

Ridge: My daughter found herself a good one.

Brooke: I think we’re all grateful that finn’s a part of our lives, especially since he brought you back to us, eric.

Eric: I have to say, a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I was worried about this. Been a long journey, you know. Every step– every step of it, just so challenging, you know.

Donna: It’s true, but you faced it head-on, and look where you are now.

Brooke: You’re here. You’re here with family. The people who love you.

Ridge: You’re right. He’s loved. Deeply loved.

Donna: Okay, I know how excited we all are.

[ Laughter ] But, um, I really think that you should lie down and rest. You were up at the crack of dawn sketching that.

Eric: Yeah, I was. I’m still invigorated. I mean, that’s what happens when you get good news like this, you know, it’s invigorating and, you know.

Donna: Eric, please, honey bear.

Eric: Look, I want to celebrate this. I– I just feel wonderful. Why– why don’t we, uh… this is cause for a celebration. I want to have a party. That’s what I want to do. Let’s throw a party.

Donna: Okay, I– I understand your enthusiasm and, you know, I’m– we’re all feeling it.

Eric: Good, good.

Donna: But I’m just not sure a party’s a good idea right now. I mean, yes, we got some positive news, but, um…

Brooke: But I think you really need to take it easy.

Eric: I will. I’ll take it easy. I will. But, uh, I definitely think this is a reason for us to celebrate. Let’s have a party. Tonight.

Ridge: He’s right about that. He’s right.

Eric: I am, right?

Ridge: Tomorrow night.

Eric: Tonight. Tonight. Let’s do it.

Ridge: Not tonight.

Eric: Yes. I know it’s short notice and people are gonna have a hard time showing up. It can be small. It can just be us. That would be all right. My… my objective is to celebrate, and I don’t wanna just celebrate me. I wanna… I want to celebrate you. You’ve been standing next to me so close through all of this, and– and– and you’re a big reason that I’m here right now. And so… I love you, donna.

Donna: I love you too.

Eric: So I– I– I… I want you to be there, and I want you to be there, and I want, uh… I want katie to come too. She’s a big part of this too. So katie and brooke and you, the logan sisters. That would be a good party right there, wouldn’t it? And rj. Rj has to be here too. Absolutely.

Brooke: Of course. Yes, rj would love it.

Eric: Well, then, all right. I’m gonna call him right now. I’m gonna call him. Where’s my phone?

Rj: Can I get you anything? You want coffee or something to eat? I can– I’m not bragging, but I can make a very decent omelet.

Luna: Wait, I saw that post. It was, um, right outside of paris, right?

Rj: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I, uh– confession though. I– real life versus social media, I think it took me 11 tries to get an omelet that was, like, postable.

[ Laughs ]

Luna: Thank you. Good right here.

Rj: I’m sorry.

Luna: What?

Rj: I don’t know. I’m just staring at you. Literally, I cannot take my eyes off you.

Luna: I don’t want you to. I mean, I could stay like this forever.

Rj: Oh, yeah? Well, you know what that would mean? That would mean that we never get out of this bed.

Luna: Yeah, I think I could handle that.

Rj: Oh, yeah? You think you could handle that?

Luna: Yeah. [ Chuckles ] I feel so close to you. After last night. Closer than I ever knew possible.

[ Phone ringing ]

Rj: I’m so sorry. I would never answer this right now, I swear. I just– I know the ringtone. It’s my grandfather. I’d–

Luna: It’s okay. It’s okay. Go for it.

[ Ringing continues ] Hey, granddad. What’s up?

Eric: Finn was just here, yeah, and he gave me a clean bill of health.

Rj: Really? Oh, that’s– that’s awesome. Uh, tell me– tell me everything.

Eric: Well, I will, but first things first. I want to invite you to a forrester family party here tonight. I want you to be there.

Rj: Okay. Tonight? Yeah. I’ll definitely be there.

Eric: Good. Any chance luna’s there with you?

Rj: Um… yeah. As a matter of fact, she is. Uh, why?

Eric: Yeah, good. I want you to bring her with you, all right?

Rj: Really?

Eric: Yeah. You love her, don’t you?

Rj: I do.

Eric: Good. Look, if there’s one thing I’ve learned in the past few months is that, uh… in this life is that love is everything. If you love somebody, you hang on to her, all right? Don’t let her go.

Rj: That’s exactly what I intend to do. Thank you, granddad. I’ll, uh… I’ll see you tonight. And– and congratulations again on the news.

Luna: So, was that about your grandfather’s prognosis?

Rj: It was, and he got some great news, which is awesome.

Luna: Oh, that’s wonderful. I’m so happy.

Rj: Yeah. Uh, and, uh, he also said that there’s gonna be a forrester family party tonight to celebrate, of course.

Luna: That’s cool. You should definitely go.

Rj: Yeah. Well, I am. And so are you. ()

Brooke: So, rj’s coming?

Eric: Yes. It looks like luna will be too.

Ridge: Oh, well, she should. She found your trusty stapler.

Eric: Yes, she did. It’s a wonderful thing she did. Yeah, let’s give her a raise. What do you say? Right?

Ridge: Okay, I’ll look into it.

Donna: Okay, okay. I– I don’t mean to keep harping here, but, um, are you sure you’re up for this? I mean, we could just have a party in a week or two.

Eric: No, no, no, no. No waiting. I feel like this has been a long time coming.

Luna: Wait, so fill me in. What happened?

Rj: Granddad asked me if you were here, so I said yes, and then he invited you to the party.

Luna: Me?

Rj: Yeah. Well, it’s not the first one you’ve been to. You went to the last one.

Luna: Yeah, I know, but I just assumed that that was kind of like a courtesy thing. Or because we were dating or because I helped out on the line. So, you’re telling me that your grandfather, eric forrester, specifically invited me to the family party.

Rj: Yeah, he did. You know what else he asked me? If I love you. You know what I told him?

Luna: That you do?

Rj: It’s just the beauty and the brains, it’s just, it’s such a lethal combo, you know? He also said something really wise to me. That he learned over the last few months just how precious love is. And how I should hold on to the one I love and never let go.

Luna: I love you.

Rj: I love you too.

Ridge: Well, donna and brooke, they’re all in. They already figured out the menu for your party.

[ Eric chuckles ]

Eric: No surprise there. It’s gonna be a wonderful party, I have no doubt about that. It’s gonna be terrific. What?

Ridge: Nothing. It’s just, it’s nice to see you like this. Full of life, energy.

Eric: Yeah. I am full of life. Maybe not completely back. You know, I’m not sure that I’m ever gonna be… a hundred percent again, but, uh… I’m gonna do the best I can. I really am.

Ridge: But you do have the one thing that every person wants. You’re loved.

Eric: Yeah. Never gonna take that for granted again, I’m not. What happened to me changed my life forever.

Ridge: What happened to you? Like when you went on your little trip?

Eric: When I went to the other side, ridge. I went there. There was– there was a feeling of love and peace there that I’ve… I’ve never experienced anytime in my life, and it felt… I felt like I was truly home there. Seeing your mother and– and the people that I knew in my life. I felt like I was home there. And that I was loved there. And I just hope to bring that feeling of love and peace… here. To, uh… to the rest of my life.

Tucker: Now’s really not the best time.

Audra: Your moods are relentless these days. Now, what’s wrong?

Tucker: Nothing I’m prepared to discuss at this time.

Audra: Oh, you don’t need to. This is about Ashley, isn’t it? She’s yanking your chain yet again. And you’re letting it get to you.

Sally: You know kids. They don’t like to draw attention. Connor isn’t shutting you out. I’m sure he’s just trying to keep a low profile.

Adam: What– what if it’s deeper than that?

Sally: What do you mean?

Adam: He trusts Chelsea more than he trusts me for a reason. I wasn’t around for so long. For years that– that really matter to kids. He lived without a dad and he got used to it. But, I mean, hey, I was just keeping up a family tradition.

Sally: You’re not victor.

Adam: No, it’s more than that. My father grew up without his father and I grew up without my dad. So now what, it’s Connor’s turn? And, I mean, if he grows up resenting me for not being around, for feeling distant, or that he can’t depend on me, how can I blame him, or even Chelsea? All of this is on me.

Tucker: Bonjour, Ashley. I know where you are. And I know what you’re doing. I’m trying to stay out of it but I just can’t. You could be at the bistro this very minute. And I hope you are, because the suspense is killing me. Not that there’s any question about what the staff would tell you. What I’m dying to know is how you’ll react to the truth, what happens when you finally come face to face with reality.

Ashley: Son of a bitch.

Tucker: Morning.

Nate: Morning. Coffee, please.

Tucker: So are you and Audra an item now?

Nate: Why do you ask?

Tucker: Oh, you seem pretty cozy up in her suite. I saw the sparkle in her eyes. She may have said something.

Nate: I seriously doubt that. But if Audra and I are an item or not, that’s none of your business

**†******************************************”””***

Tucker: You will never understand the bond that audra and I share.

Nate: But I do. You’re alone. You’ve got nothing, no one. So you cling to some fantasy that there’s more to that bond with audra than there actually is. You’re no good for her, tucker. So if you care about audra, you’ll let her go. Man, she is brilliant and talented, but she’ll never achieve her true potential with your dead weight around her neck.

Tucker: She’s gotten pretty far with my dead weight around her neck.

Nate: Oh, I’m sure she’d appreciate you taking all the credit.

[ Scoffs ]

Tucker: I have supported Audra all this time because I understand her. And she understands me. We understand each other. That’s why I know she’s got something in the works, something aimed at me. You know anything about it?

Nate: No clue.

Tucker: No clue. Her confidence is alluring, isn’t it? I have a sneaking suspicion that she thinks she can get one over on me, and she would be very insulted if I just let it slide. So please tell your friend– or your lover or whatever the hell she is for you– that I’m onto her. And if you’re thinking of throwing in with her in this little game, as smart as you think you are, you can’t beat me.

Phyllis: You seemed to enjoy yourself. I certainly did. There’s obviously a lot of heat between us. I think that we should explore what could come next.

Danny: There is no next. I’m not interested. says otherwise.

Danny: Look, would you just stop it, please? Whatever this– this flirtation, or whatever you want to call it, is completely one-sided and it can’t go anywhere.

Phyllis: It could if you let it.

Danny: I don’t want it to. Don’t you understand? There’s too much history and a lot of it bad and you’re still you. Look, I’m sorry if that sounds harsh, but you’re not listening, and I need to get through to you. I really do.

Phyllis: That’s not fair. That’s not fair. I’ve changed. You know I’ve changed. You know that. How many times have you said that lately that I’ve changed? So you see it. You believe it.

Danny: I want to, if only for Daniel’s sake. I have worked really hard to convince myself, and then you pull a stunt like this. Posting that video, implying that there’s something romantic going on between us when you know that there’s not. So, no. From my standpoint, no, you haven’t changed at all.

“””********************************

Danny: This is pointless.

Phyllis: I beg to differ.

Danny: Look, would you just forget the kiss, all right? That’s the least of it. Posting that video online, suggesting that we’re romantically involved? That was way out of line.

Phyllis: Are you kidding me right now? Really? You’re a rock star. People post videos of you all the time, Danny. Walking down the street, eating at a restaurant. As long as it’s respectful, it’s fine. Or maybe this is about something else. Is it? Is it about your precious Christine? That you want her to feel safe, and I feel–

Danny: Wrong.

Phyllis: Excuse me?

Danny: This isn’t gonna work. It doesn’t feel good. It doesn’t feel right. Maybe some version of friends, for Daniel’s sake, but… anything else, no. Never.

Danny: Hey, gorgeous. Boy, am I glad to see you.

Christine: Oh, wait. What, did Phyllis get called away on an emergency? Is that why you suddenly have free time? video of me at the piano

Tucker: There she is. Didn’t expect to see you so soon. Or ever, after our last conversation. Hi. Uh, just my usual, thank you.

Audra: I’ll put it on my tab, please.

Tucker: Oh, sweet. The deluxe apology.

Audra: What’s a few angry words between old friends

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

Audra: I had some time to think things through, that’s all.

Tucker: Uh-huh. This is a major reversal. You were very decisive up in your suite.

Audra: Yeah, I had a knee-jerk reaction to the mention of jabot.

Tucker: And Ashley.

Audra: But I’m calmer now.

Tucker: No, you’ve– you’ve pushed back before. This is different. And you– you– you were done with me, right? In all ways.

Audra: Well, I decided to leave Newman media. Effective immediately.

Tucker: Well, now.

Audra: There’s no upward mobility for me there. And it’s a closed shop. Only the Newmans are allowed in the inner circle, and that’s never going to change. I thought it was worth it to have it on my resume, but why bother now when there are other, much better options on the table?

Tucker: And you just realized this?

Audra: Yes. I just realized that.

Tucker: Same job it was a week ago. Something must have happened.

Audra: Think whatever you want. Is your offer still on the table?

Tucker: Maybe. Only if you’re honest with me.

Audra: About?

Tucker: Something tells me you didn’t quit. Something tells me you ticked Nikki off and she fired you. Hm?

[ Tucker laughs ] She did, didn’t she? What’d you do to lose your job, Audra?

Chance: Hey.

Summer: Hey, there you are. I thought for a second that maybe you were standing me up.

Chance: I’m very sorry I’m late. The night hasn’t even started and I’m already screwing up. It’s very typical.

Chance: Well, you know the motto, be prepared. And I’ve fallen short, I apologize.

Summer: Okay, you can relax. We both had to work late and I just got here too, so you’re fine.

Chance: Okay, well I did reserve one of the quiet tables, so that should make up for something.

Summer: Yeah, and if you help me with my coat, you’ll be well on your way to earning your first date badge.

Jack: Okay, I’m not asking you to give me newman enterprises secrets. I’m just saying we could share a drink. We do have a grandson in common. When was the last time you saw harrison?

[ Victor chuckling ]

Victor: Cute kid.

Jack: Yeah, he is. I’m still upset about kyle and summer.

Victor: Yeah, I must say. When one of one’s loved ones has a heartbreak, it affects me as well.

Jack: If I could take away their pain by feeling it myself, I would.

Victor: Yeah, but that’s what parenting and grandparentin isn’t it?

Jack: Yeah. So, what do you say? Have a drink together, old rivals, for old times’ sake?

Victor: All right. Bartender, kindly show me that same bottle of tequila you showed me before and pour a drink for each of us, all right? By the way, put it on his tab.

Summer: How are things for you, by the way, with all the changes in the C-suite?

Kyle: Ah, news travels fast, huh?*

Summer: Well, I guess that means that you’re now back where you belong in the co-CEO spot.

Kyle: Not quite.

Summer: Then who?

Kyle: My mom.

Summer: Diane is now co-CEO of Jabot? I mean, how do you feel about that? About your mom taking your job?

Ashley: Well, you’ve certainly convinced yourself that I’m the one with the problem, haven’t you?

Tucker: Uh, you are the one rewriting history.

Ashley: Mm-hmm. I know what you’re doing. I know exactly what you’re trying to accomplish.

Tucker: You’re trying to provoke me into losing my temper so I’ll turn over a table thus validating your story. No dice.

Ashley: I am not the one who is playing games.

Tucker: Ashley, if this was a game, wouldn’t that suggest that I’m deriving some pleasure from it? I’m having fun? I assure you I’m not.

Ashley: You are gaslighting me.

Tucker: Have you asked yourself why I would make you question your sanity? What do I stand to gain from that?

Ashley: It’s retaliation, Tucker. You’re trying to make me suffer.

Tucker: Listen to yourself.

Ashley: It’s because I changed my mind about leaving Jabot. I ruined your dreams and all of your expectations and now you’re trying to punish me.

Tucker: That’s incredible. You never really knew me at all, did you?

Ashley: No, I know you quite well. You are selfish. You are smug. You are narcissistic. You’re a son of a bitch.

Tucker: Yeah. Yes. I know I’m all those things, aren’t I? But I can tell you right now, I have never ever been motivated by the need to inflict harm on others and absolutely never on someone I loved.

Victor: Son, I understand Victoria’s decision, but that doesn’t mean that I will use you and your brother as placeholders.

Adam: Okay. That’s easy to say now, but when the time comes, I assume all bets are gonna be off,

Victor: Sit down. I’m gonna say it once. Your place at my company is secure. You got that?

Adam: Um, it was just, um…

Victor: Look, boy. I know you’re still seeing Sally Spectra.

Adam: Is this where you’re gonna make a dire prediction that she’s gonna be the ruin of me or Nick, or both of us?

Victor: Let me just say that I don’t think she’s good enough for either of my sons. And I don’t like the fact that she has hurt Nicholas as deeply as she has. But there’s a reason for that. She’s always cared more about you than about your brother. The heart wants what the heart wants, you know? It’s an unstoppable force.

Adam: That’s about as close of a blessing I can expect from you where Sally is concerned, so I’ll take it. Thank you.

Victor: As long as you trust her, I’ll try to do the same

What so about what age would you say I need to be before I get the memo that you can always justify cheating on your wife?
