Best Lines provided by Eva

Devon: So Billy’s going away on a short business trip, and he has provisions for me. He wants me to bring chance in on everything while he’s gone. Even though chance is brand new and can’t make decisions. So, why would he do that?

Abby: But you have an idea.

Devon: I do, yeah. I think that he wants to have a fly on the wall here. So that nothing happens without him knowing about it. Or he’s just flexing his power.

Abby: Wait, do you know when lily’s coming back?

Devon: I don’t. That’s a great question. Which means I have to figure out how to work with Billy in the meantime.

Abby: Hmm. Well, that’s not stressful at all.

Devon: Oh, yeah. It’s just unfortunate, because it makes things a lot less productive around here than they need to be.

Abby: And it’s draining. I mean, I know, I had one of the worst business partners ever in phyllis. It doesn’t get any worse than that. I mean, Billy can’t possibly be that bad, right?

Devon: They’re different. I don’t want to badmouth anybody in your family, but I think that they’re equally bad in their own ways.

Abby: I hate seeing you like this. Is there anything I can do to help?

Devon: No, no. I appreciate it, but this is something that I have to deal with on my own, and I will. I’m actually kind of happy that Billy’s going to be going out of town. Because even with chance in the mix, I think things will run a lot smoother with him being gone.

***********”””””””””””” **************

Billy: Hey, why don’t you take it easy. I’m not telling you how to be a parent. I made a comment because I’m looking out for Connor.

Adam: You think I’m not looking out for my son? Okay, is this how you plan to console Connor, by insulting his father?

Chelsea: No, we are not doing this. We are not doing this. We are not fighting. We are not wasting precious energy arguing. Remember what Sharon said? We have to take this one step at a time and not jump to conclusions.

Adam: Okay, all I’m saying is we should not take what the therapist says at face value. We should get a second opinion. Hell, we maybe should get a third opinion, Chelsea.

Chelsea: Which is what jumping to conclusions means, Adam!

Adam: It doesn’t.

Chelsea: We haven’t even heard what the specialist has said yet, okay? But we have to listen to the doctor who specializes in this exact issue. And you know what Connor doesn’t need right now? He doesn’t need to feel the tension between you two, fighting and me playing referee. If you both can’t control yourself, then maybe you both should stay home.

Danny: No, I want you to stop, okay? All right? Nothing has changed. We are not– I repeat– we are not getting back together. I don’t have romantic feelings for you. We are friends, co-parents. That’s it!

Phyllis: Well, I know this. I know there’s something between us.

[ Danny sighs ] And it’s very, very powerful. I feel it. Listen, when I look at you and Christine, there’s no spark. It’s like watching paint dry.

Danny: Which is the other reason why we’re not gonna have this conversation. Because I do not want to be this dodgeball that you two keep throwing at each other.

Phyllis: Well, that’s a bad metaphor. Because if it were dodgeball, Christine would be on the floor by now.

Danny: Okay, that’s not funny.

Phyllis: It’s a little bit funny.

Danny: No, it’s not.

Phyllis: Hey, listen to me. I know your hesitation. I understand it. I didn’t expect this either. It caught me by surprise. I didn’t expect you to walk into my life at this late date and feel this way.

Danny: I’m not buying a word you’re saying.

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

Nikki: Good morning, Esther.

Esther: Nikki, hi. It’s so nice to see you. Uh… that man behind you, is he your bodyguard?

Nikki: Yes, he is.

Esther: Well, wha– what does that mean? A– a– are you in danger? I– I wa– I wasn’t trained for anything like this. I– is– is there gonna be trouble?

Nikki: No, I’m not anticipating any.

Esther: Oh, that’s good. I think.

Nikki: So, I would like a hot tea, please, raspberry and bring an extra one for Larry here. Everything will be fine. Thank you for your concern.

Esther: Oh, well, you’re like family to me, Nikki. Of course I worry.

Michael: Knock, knock. I got your message. You wanted to see me?

Claire: Yes, thank you. Come in.

[ Michael chuckling ]

Michael: I love what you’ve done with the place.

Claire: Yeah, it’s hard to make this place homey.

Michael: Hm. Maybe some other art? Perhaps a colorful throw.

Claire: I’ve decided I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get out of here. I want to take victor up on his offer.

Michael: Wow. Oh. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting to hear from you so soon.

Claire: There’s no reason to wait. The sooner my aunt’s dealt with, the better. Do you think you can arrange my release?

[ Michael chuckling ]

Michael: I’ve already got the ball rolling.

Claire: But I’ve only just decided.

Michael: That’s true.

Claire: Victor told me to call you if and when I was willing to go along with his plan. He said it was my decision to make. Is that a lie?

************************************************””””*”

Claire: My therapy doesn’t have to stop. I can keep doing it outpatient. I will not miss this room or the food.

Cole: Wait a minute, I thought you loved the pudding.

Claire: There is one thing I’ll miss. Visiting the kids in the children’s ward.

Cole: Well, I don’t see why you can’t keep that up. I mean, you could visit after your therapy sessions. I think that’s something we could figure out.

Claire: I’d love that. It’s the highlight of my day right now.

Phyllis: Oh, my goodness!

Amanda: Phyllis.

Phyllis: Oh, my goodness! So good to see you! I can’t believe you’re here!

Amanda: Well, you know you can come visit me. There are planes and buses, trains.

Phyllis: You know, don’t tempt me, because I may jump into your suitcase and start living in your guest room.

Amanda: Do it, please. But may I ask why?

Phyllis: Ah, I don’t wanna talk about me. Let’s talk about you. Why are you back in town?

Amanda: Battle preparations.

*******************””””””””””””””””””””””””

Ashley: Ooh, spicy. You’re certainly worked up.

Audra: You know, I’d like to get a few things straight.

Ashley: Didn’t we already have this conversation?

Audra: It’s my turn to do the talking.

Ashley: Oh. I don’t suppose you’ll leave if I ask you nicely?

Audra: You know, Tucker told me you went up to his suite last night.

Ashley: Oh, did he?

Audra: Yeah, we don’t keep secrets. Our relationship is based on honesty.

Ashley: Oh, that’s so sweet. Are we done now?

Audra: You’re done with Tucker.

[ Ashley laughs ]

Ashley: Well, that’s not your call.

Audra: You know this game you’re playing? You miraculously decide that you were wrong about Paris, that tucker wasn’t violent, and so you sneak up to his suite and ambush him with your new truth?

Ashley: Wow, tucker really did overshare, didn’t he?

Audra: It’s not gonna work, Ashley. If you’ve changed your mind and decided that you now want a future with tucker, it’s too late. Okay, you blew it. So you need to back off. He’s with me now.

Ashley: But you’re not sure about that, are you? And that’s why you’re here. Because you’re very afraid that he’s not over me, aren’t you?

Audra: You’ve hurt tucker for the last time. So if you try to seduce him as part of your sick plan, you’re gonna have to deal with me.

Ashley: Ooh. Scary.

Devon: Okay, Billy, you’re just going to have to take my word about Lenny Flanagan, because he’s always been a smart, innovative, stand-up guy for us.

Billy: That’s great. He sounds like a great guy, Devon. I believe you. We’ll invite him to the barbecue, okay? But I’ve looked at the file. There’s nothing in here but a bunch of smoke. His last two business ventures, they didn’t go anywhere. Nothing happened with them.

Devon: Oh, that’s– I think it’s very funny that you’re ready to judge someone off their track record before even meeting them.

Billy: What’s that? A little– little dig at me? Is that what that is?

Devon: I mean, you can take it however you’d like, Billy. The only thing I’m asking is if you will set aside some time to speak with Lenny and hear what he has to say before you just dismiss him, all right? Because there is something to be said about working with people that you have faith in.

Billy: And all I’m saying is that we have plenty of potentially lucrative deals waiting in the pipeline. We don’t have to waste time, resources, and money on warm, fuzzy feelings.

***********************************”

Billy: With all due respect, Esther, what Devon and i are doing, I wouldn’t– I wouldn’t say it’s bickering.

Devon: Yeah, no, it’s a difference of opinions, really. And it’s nothing to worry about.

Esther: Oh, I would love to not worry about it. But this company is important to me.

Devon: I know it is.

Billy: And we’re grateful for that.

Esther: You know, I am really good at reading situations and emotions. You know, I’ve lived at the chancellor mansion for decades, and it wasn’t just about cake-wrestling and catfights. More times than I can count. There was so much tension in there, you could cut it with a knife. And that’s what I’m picking up from the two of you.

Devon: I think you’re reading a little more into it than I was.

Esther: I know. Correct me if I’m wrong, which I am not. What I’m getting at, Devon, is you resent having to work with Billy, because you’d rather work with your sister, because you and lily work well together. And Billy, you resent Devon resenting you, which is just going to be a problem given your career history. All I’m asking is that you please just take a minute and think of how upset your fathers, john and neil, would be if they saw what you were bringing all this petty conflict to the people that are counting on you to make this business the success that it needs to be.

Nate: Thank you. Tucker?

Tucker: Hey. You know, for someone with a booming career in a swanky penthouse apartment, you sure do spend an awful lot of time here.

Nate: Why are you so concerned about where I spend my time?

Tucker: Just curious what keeps you coming back. Is it the steak frites? Or the Audra Charles?

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

Tucker: something more, forget it, man. I will never let you come between us. It’s a straight-up fool’s attempt to even try.

Nate: Okay. Well, I guess we’ll have to just wait and see how this all shakes down.

Tucker: I guess we will. See you.

Sally: Adam swore he wouldn’t do any of that.

Chloe: And the second victor is in a mood, he will make sure to get rid of us.

Sally: Okay, well Adam said that he would protect us from victor if anything like that happened, okay? But hopefully it won’t.

Chloe: You have to trust me on this. Getting into bed with Adam was a huge mistake. Getting into bed with Newman enterprises is a bigger one.

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

Adam: about my idea to bring your business into Newman?

Sally: After I unloaded on her about you going behind my back, yeah. But I mean, it’s no surprise. It’s no secret that she’s not your biggest fan.

Adam: I’m more concerned about where your head is at. Are you still mad? Or do you understand why I went to nick and my dad before I came to you?

Danny: Look, Daniel’s not here. I have nothing more to say to you.

Phyllis: This is a peace offering.

Danny: Not necessary.

Phyllis: Well, it’s your favorite, brunello. I know you want it, even if you’re still angry at me.

Danny: Peace offering accepted. Now, would you please leave me alone?

Phyllis: Is that so hard? I just wanna have a little chat with you first.

Danny: Phyllis, I ca–

Phyllis: Just a little chat, please. Danny, I need to say this. I’m not the one doing the competing here.

Danny: You gotta be kidding me.

Phyllis: I’m not. I mean the old me, yeah, for sure. The old me would’ve loved this. Ticking off the sa– the most sanctimonious person on the planet. Yeah, but not me now. Okay, listen, I’ve had a brutal year. Oh, massively painful. You know that. And you have helped me so much. I feel like I really am changing. I’ve really worked hard to change and you’ve been there with me every step of the way, encouraging me when nobody else in this town would do that. And– and I realized that since the moment I met you, I made your life turmoil. I realized that. I’m not proud of the things I’ve done. I’m not proud of them at all. I’m ashamed. But I feel like I took responsibility for them and just every day, I’m changing and changing. I just kind of wanted to do that with you. Do you know what I mean? So, I kind of think that beneath all your caution and coloring within the lines, I kinda think you feel the same way

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

Devon: Good. So, listen, Billy, we, uh– I, uh, I had that conversation with lily about your request to add abbott to the company name and we have an answer for you.

Billy: Why do I feel I’m not gonna like where this is headed?

Devon: Well, listen man, we– we certainly respect your sense of legacy when it comes to your name for Jill’s sake, but lily and I feel like we already have a very strong brand name in place.

Billy:  Well, true, but it doesn’t mean it can’t be modified.

Devon: True. Another big concern we have though is it might confuse people.

Billy: Confuse people. How so?

Devon: Well, because the name Abbott, for as long as I can remember, has been synonymous with Jabot. And people might start thinking that our companies are linked when they’re not.

Billy: Yeah, I don’t see that happening. Two very distinct niches.

Devon: Well, either way, uh, lily and I feel like making a name change will shake things up just too much right now.

Billy: Adding Abbott to the chancellor-winter’s name is hardly shaking things up, Devon. In fact, it further defines this company. It gives it a broader reach, it gives it more name recognition.

Devon: And I hear all the points you’re making, Billy. And I’m still sorry to tell you that we’re gonna be keeping the name Chancellor-Winters as is.

Amanda: Well, Jill will be very sorry to hear that.

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

Phyllis:  that there’s something going on between me and Danny?

Christine: Oh, my god, because you are stalking him. Big difference from an actual relationship.

Danny: I seem to remember asking you both to give me some time and some space and yet here you are back in my place again. What don’t you understand about boundaries? I’m confused here.

Phyllis: I never really believed in boundaries, to be honest. And I think that we could both agree, there’s nothing wrong with going after love.

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

So this is it, huh? This is how it ends. Neat. Clean. Easy. And then curtains down for Harris Michaels.

You know, if someone did in fact kidnap Tripp and Wendy, they sure as hell knew how to disengage their phones. Last pings came from outside the park near the square. Yeah, during the event. Right. You know, with Wendy’s tech prowess, it’s possible that they could have coerced her into showing them how to do it. Mm. Oh, man.

I think we’re gonna need to move through some back channels now. That takes more know how. Yeah, well Hang on a second.

Hey, son. How’s Tate doing? Hey, dad. Well, we just got here. We haven’t checked in yet, but I know that you’re on the visitors list, so do you think you can make it? Hold on a second. Um, it’s Brady. Tate just got moved to a halfway house. He was wondering if maybe I could Go. Go. Don’t have to ask. I think you just got the okay, so I’ll see you soon.

You got it, kid.

Buddy, take off. It’s okay. Hey, I’m still waiting for notes on that Ava video anyway. I’ll stay here. I’ll keep working at, at this until you get back.

We’re gonna find your boy. Come hell or high water.

I

thought he would never leave. You again? I was in the neighborhood. Have you tried the shashouks at the little cafe down the road? Oh, the eggs are cooked beautifully, but it could have used a little bit more salt. I don’t have time for your restaurant reviews. I am busy. Well, I too am a busy man, Mr. Johnson.

But I have made time in my busy schedule. To see you.

Room service. Hi, honey. How are you doing? It’s still all weird to me. Oh. Yeah, I, I understand. So I was wrong before, wasn’t I? It’s way past New Year’s Eve, right? You know, honey, the doctors assured us that when, uh, a person wakes up out of a coma, they tend to pick up where they left off. Do you remember Damar Hamlin, the Buffalo Bills player who got knocked out on the field and then was in a coma for a few days and, well, the first thing he said when he woke up was, did we win?

And against all odds, he’s playing again. How inspiring is that? Yeah, that’s great, but I’m not a professional football player. And mom, you haven’t let me see my phone or watch the news. You said I was in a hospital in Italy? I just, I can’t even wrap my brain around that. Holly. Mom, what is it you’re not telling me?

So, how are we doing?

Okay, Dad’s headed over. Great. Tate’s going to be so happy to see him. Yeah. Hi, uh, we are, um Teresa Donovan and Brady Black. We’re here to see our son, Tate Black. You’re on the list, Ms. Donovan, so you can just head on into the visiting room. Um Oh, I’m sorry. What about me? Brady? Brady Black? You are not listed.

Um, okay. There’s been a mistake here. See, this is, this is his father. I’m sure it’s on the list. I’m sorry, I just can’t let anyone in without the patient’s permission. Go on. Go on. He’s, he’s waiting for you, so you go.

Okay, I’ll talk to him. Go. I’ll be here if you need me. All right.

Oh. Tight. Alright, Mom. Oh. So good to see you.

You know your dad’s here. Don’t. Just don’t do this, Mom. What? What am I doing? What are you doing? Really? You’re trying to guilt trip me into seeing him, aren’t you?

Sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives. Thank God you’re

here. I’ve been challenging for a cappuccino. I’ll be back in a jiffy. You, uh, you want anything?

Bitch.

What are you doing? I whipped up some of my famous baklava rolo. It is an old family recipe that my mother god rest her soul passed down to me. I’m not hungry. You’re not hungry? Well, you might be in a little while because we are going to be here for a while. Uh, do you have coffee? Uh, that old American diner style coffee with the drip, drip, drip stuff?

Just ran out. Ah, what a shame. That is too bad. Ah, well, here you go. Oh, thanks. You are really missing out. You know, I gave some to the children this morning. Thomas and Charlotte at the house, and they just gobbled them up. That’s why I like to call them the little goblins. I love children. I really do.

Really love them. I don’t have time for this. You don’t have time to have a delectable Greek pastry, huh? Well, you should make time. Ella, pedacimo. It might remind you of Greece. The time you spent in Aria, to be precise. You know, my Catalina, she loved baklava rolo. Oh, yes. I had to hide them from her. She loved.

She loved so very much, everything. She had what you might call a zest for life. Don’t you ever shut up! Now listen, I’m in the middle of a case here. I don’t have time for this.

So your son is still missing? What’s it to you? Well, it’s just that I I can certainly relate to the pain that you are going through. The acute anger, frustration. Pining for answers that remain excruciatingly elusive. Yes, well, I do understand. The pain that you are going through, the hell that you are going through, because I go through it every minute of every day, Mr.

Johnson, wondering who killed my daughter.

You’re doing great. Uh, EJ, can you help me get Holly up? Honey, Sarah said that you should get out of bed a few times a day and walk around. Yes, absolutely. After being in bed so long, well, we mustn’t let the muscles atrophy. You’ve been in bed for so long. How long? How long have I been in a coma? Easy, honey.

Easy. First things first. Come on. Here we go. Let’s get this over and done with. Ready? Hold on. There you go. Ready? Down. Hold on. You in? Let’s go. Oh. Yay, honey. This is great. Look at you. There you go. And turn you right. And there we go. There baby. Yum.

What? What? It’s, it’s, it’s chicken broth and smashed bananas with a pinch of cinnamon for a little kick. Ugh, gross. Nah, someone pass me my phone. I’m gonna order a burger from Buddy’s Burger Bar. No, honey, you can’t have that. Why not? Well, because Sarah said, and every Google search known to man said, that you have to reintroduce Certain food groups in your system slowly.

Well, how is it gonna help my system if you’re giving me food I won’t eat? Well, how about some chowder from the pub? No. Uh, yeah, never mind. It’s too rich. Never mind. French fries? And what are you gonna ask for next? Froglois or fried Oreos from the state fair? Bet. Bet? What? What? Bet? What does that mean? Oh my god, mom.

What? It’s Gen Z slang. Gen Z slang? It means like word. Word? Bet? I’m Sorry. What? It’s okay, sweetie. What? What? What’s so funny? It’s nothing. It’s just watching the mother daughter back and forth. It’s beautiful. I missed it. I’m sure you have. I have. Oh my god. Guilt tripping you? I’m not guilt tripping you. I’m just trying to tell you that Mom, I mean it.

Do not try to force me to see dad today. Tate, you can do whatever you want, okay? But just hear me out. You and your dad had a great relationship before all this happened. You guys were best buds! Yeah. Yeah. We used to be. But, ever since I started therapy, well, it brought up a lot of stuff for me. Especially how dad wasn’t there for me when I was growing up.

Like, when we moved to California, I Yeah, about I’m moving to California. Yeah?

I had a big part in that. What do you mean? I’m the one I kept you from your father.

It is a parent’s worst nightmare, losing a child. They say it gets easier with time. No. Oh, it does not. I miss my Katharina more as time goes on. No less.

She was my heart.

She was the only good thing I ever did.

Do you feel that way about your children, Mr. Johnson?

My children mean everything to me.

Well then, you must understand how terribly painful my loss Has been.

Do you understand?

How could I not?

I appreciate your empathy, Mr. Johnson. More than you know.

Hey, buddy. Dad, thanks for coming. What’s, uh, what’s going on here? Have you been in to see Tate yet? Uh, no, no, I haven’t been in. Teresa’s actually seeing him right now. Oh, okay. He didn’t put me on the list. Oh, come on, son. I have seen you and your boy together. Let me tell you, that bond is strong. I mean, come on, does it need a little bit of work here?

Yeah, you know, so let’s give it some time, some patience, and with a little bit of effort, I can guarantee you things are gonna be A OK. I’m hoping so. Listen, don’t I know that he wants to see his granddad, so why don’t you, uh Why don’t you go in there? He’ll be happy to see you, okay? Go on. Okay. Love you, buddy.

Love you, too. No.

No, you didn’t You didn’t move me to California to keep me from Dad. You No, you’re just making that up to cover for him. No, I’m not.

The reason I have custody of you is because I made up What? You made up what?

I made up a lie that implicated your father in a murder case.

I lied. And that got me custody of you. And that’s what allowed me to take you with me to California. So my point is, that man out there that you refuse to see? I have hurt him. So much more than he has hurt you or hurt me.

Your father loves you. He always has and he always will.

Um, there’s something else that I think that I want you to know about your, your father. Actually, about me.

You remember that first night that you were sent away? I was a mess. And I slipped. I slipped. In a really big way. And guess, guess who was there for me? I mean, totally, totally there for me. Kind and forgiving and supportive, even after everything that I have done to him. Your father, Brady Black.

He needs you in his life. And you need him. Hey, dear.

Where are you, kid?

Your mom’s right. Your dad needs you because he loves you with all his heart. And your mother here, you know what? She just took a really big risk in telling you the truth. That was brief of her.

You know why she did that?

Because she trusted enough in your love for her. She knew she wasn’t going to lose you. You know what we call that?

Unconditional love, T. And that is what your mother and your father have for you. That is what your grandparents have for you. Always. Or ever.

I

heard you survived those bullets, you son of a bitch. Better

luck this time.

Not so fast.

No, you’re not going anywhere, pal. Ah! Stefan? So good to see you.

Listen, Constantine. I understand that you’re still grieving your daughter. But if you’re somehow trying to implicate me in her death No, no, no, no. I am not trying to do anything. I am merely sharing, uh, how her death haunts me, pains me, every minute of every day.

No one was supposed to die that day. It was an accident. A terrible accident. Which you witnessed. Did you not? No, no, not directly.

But you admit, you were there when Katharina died. When the pawn put a bullet through her head.

You were there. Were you not?

I’m good, Mom. Really, that’s all I want. Okay, well that’s a good start anyway. Well, um, let’s get you back into bed, shall we? Not yet, okay? Mom, you said you’d answer some of my questions, so how about answering those now? Okay, what do you want to know? Everything. Starting with why I was in a coma for what, months?

You had opioid laced drugs in your system.

Drugs? What? It’s okay, Colleen. We know that you don’t do drugs. And believe me, we are going to get to the bottom of what happened. But however it happened, it was an overdose and your heart stopped several times. You nearly died. Before you slipped into unconsciousness. And it, it happened on New Year’s Eve.

That’s when I thought it would, when I came to. Honey, do you remember anything else?

No, um, not really. Just, just the sound of fireworks. But darling, just, just try and think hard. Think hard for back then for you were drugged with potentially lethal drugs that in fact almost cost you your life. So it is very important that we know where they came from. Honey, where did you get the drugs?

It’s hate. Hey,

your father, he’s missed you so much. He’s out there in the waiting room, he’s just hoping you’re gonna agree to see him.

You know,

I just found my long lost father. Your great grandfather. Timothy, he’s a wonderful, spirited man, which I missed out on so many years with him. And neither one of us were ever gonna get those years back. I’m just saying that I don’t want you to look back one day and have any regrets about the time that you missed with your dad.

You know Tate, but it’s your call.

So what do you say? Can I, can I go get him and tell him that you would like to see him after all?

Can I help you? Tate Black would like to see his father. Okay, sure, I just need to make a quick call.

Hello, this is Olivia confirming that Tate Black will allow his father to visit. Thank you. You can go in to see your son now, Mr. Black. Thank you. Listen, I gotta take off, but uh, you’re gonna call me, right? Yeah, of course. I love you, son. And Tate? You got yourself a good kid in there. I know he’s a good kid.

I’ll see ya. Thank you again. Love you, buddy. You know I had no choice in this. We all have choices. Uh, what do you want from me? You seem to follow instructions really well. I like that in a person. Now I have some instructions of my own for you. Are you listening? I’m listening. Yeah? You work for me, Gamera.

You’re gonna take the fall for this, and you’re gonna help me take Clyde Weston down, do you understand? I understand. That’s good. Oh, that’s good.

Do You need to confess, Mr. Johnson? Because now is the time. Surely, it would help you to, to relieve the guilt. To finally admit the truth. Nothing

will relieve me of that guilt. So you were there? In Aria? On that terrible day?

Answer me, Mr. Johnson.

Yes. Yes, I was there.

God, how I wish I hadn’t been.

Please. Tell me more, please. For both our sakes. We both deserve to have peace of mind about this. Don’t you agree?

Sure. It will unburden you. It will help. I assure you, it will help. It was a long time ago. Decades. We were different people then.

But yes. I was the pawns handler for Victor.

He called me away to give me some instruction.

And when I came back,

there was a young girl lying there.

Dead.

That image has tormented me all this time. I didn’t know who she was.

But you do now.

I do now.

And the bomb? Where was he when you came back? He was there, just holding the gun. And someone else was lying next to the girl, flat, on the ground. I couldn’t see that person’s face,

but I knew it was you. Hey son. I have to go make a call. It’s uh, it’s good to see you.

Yeah, it is. It’s good to see you too. Look man, I um, I don’t know what grandfather said to you. No, it was mom. Yeah, she um, she told me the truth about what happened. Between you two. What she did so she could take me to California and away from you. Pauline.

Tell us, please. , where did you get the drugs? Did Tate give them to you? Uh, I, I don’t know. I, I don’t remember taking any drugs, so someone must have given them to me, or maybe they slipped them into my drink without my knowing. I, I don’t know. So no one gave you the drugs? Not Tate, not anyone. Mom. I’m, I’m just really tired.

Okay. So you need to rest. Yeah, of course, honey. Of course. Come on. That a girl. Let’s see. There we go.

What’s the plan? He’s gonna keep me here? No, I’m gonna keep you here until we’re clear on where things stand. I know where things stand. Just a reminder, I got you on attempted murder of a police officer. Not once, but twice. First, a loading dock, and now with a syringe. And look, you’re not wearing gloves, so your fingerprints are all over the murder weapon.

Do you know what kind of time you’re gonna freaking serve?

You ready to play ball?

Where is he? Where is that bastard who killed my Katerina? I will suck the life out of him! No, no, no. John is not the one you want. He was not the puppet master there. Whatever he did was out of his control. But you do not deny he was the pawn, huh? He was transformed into that maniac by Stefano DiMera. And he’s dead.

And so is Victor. So if it’ll make you feel any better, go spit on their graves. But leave John out of this. He has suffered enough. He suffered? I have suffered! And now I want the both of you to suffer, like I have suffered! What do you mean by that? Your missing son, he may still be alive. But my daughter is dead!

And I will have justice!

Did you hear what she just said? I knew it. Someone slipped her those drugs and we both know who that someone was. No, we don’t know that for sure. Oh, come on. Who else could it have been? No one else was drugged at that party. Holly was roofied. And there’s no one else who would have done that except for her date that night.

The little swine who was trying to get into her pants.

Is this true? Did you, did you, you told him? It was time that Tate knew the truth. Oh, I really don’t know what to say. I do. I’m sorry, Dad. I’m so sorry.

You don’t have anything to be sorry about, Tate. None at all. And I thank you for telling the truth. I’m grateful.

I love you. You’re my kid, I love you so much. And your mom and I, we’re always gonna be there for you, no matter what, okay? You hear me? Come

here.

We have a lot to catch up on, don’t we? Yeah. Yeah, we do. Do you know what it was like for me to watch the Super Bowl alone this year? I picked you, Dad, in a room full of chicken wings and pizza and a giant 4K television and no one did It was awful. Yeah, well, I had no one to ask to kick in fantasy basketball this year, so Okay, stop it.

And, um, Mom, thank you for opening up to me. Really, for having the courage to tell me the truth about you and Dad. I’m so glad I did. Just seeing you both laughing together, it just You have no idea how happy it makes me.

I knew I’d find you in here. Yes.

Just making sure this was all still real. Holly’s home and she’s come back to us. I understand that need. But I assure you, my darling, it is very real. And

now EJ, I mean, she doesn’t I obviously remember that she was drugged and I just, I so hope that those drugs weren’t hers that did this to her. I guess because I would feel like that would reflect on me because if she were using, that means I failed her as a mother. But you haven’t, Nicole.

But I have, in so many ways. I’ve been selfish and self absorbed, and if those drugs that almost killed my daughter, if they were hers, then that’s just another box ticked off on a terrible mother checklist. And yes, you know what, sure, I, I I could say that I should have been there for her more. I mean, recently, just losing the baby, and then losing my mind, and stealing Eric’s baby.

I mean, it just It was so lost. It was just And, and, and And pain. And it was hurting, and I’m trying to make sense of it all. And I just was really I was just trying to handle how to get through every day. Nicole, sweetheart. I need you. To stop beating yourself up. Look at me. You are a wonderful mother. And darling, Holly made it clear that those drugs weren’t hers, which means she is completely innocent in all of this.

Holly is a wonderful young woman. And you have raised her right. You should be very proud. Very, very proud. Now come on, let’s let this lovely young girl get some rest, okay?

Okay.

So, any late breaking news since I left? Um, yeah, that’s right, no problem, no problem. If you don’t come to us, we go find the leads, right? Because our number one priority here is bringing your boy home safely. Definitely. All right, now you said, Dylan, when I left here that the last cell phone pings were heard what, outside the park?

Yeah. That’s right.

Yeah. Right there. All right. Nice. See, partner? We’re already making progress. Let’s keep at it.

You can go. I’ll be in touch. Yeah. All right. Oh, God. God! Oh! Oh! Please. Oh, gosh. Uh, Uh,

What the?

Goldman! It’s you!

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

Oh, you just had to wake up, didn’t you, Harris?

Damn it! One frickin thing go right!

What now? Hey, watch your manner, Stefan. That ain’t no way to answer a call. Especially one from me. I

wish, I just wish I could just Wake up from this nightmare and Tripp and Wendy would be home, sitting on the couch and laughing, and I just, Harris would be fine. He’d be okay. You know what? Unfortunately, neither one of us is gonna wake up from this. This is happening. So we need to stay focused. Did you call Wendy’s parents yet?

No. I haven’t. I just, you know, I’m not ready to yet. Ava, they need to know what’s going on. Should we do it together? And say what? It’s usually what we’re supposed to say. Oh, hi, Mr. And Mrs. Shin. Um, your daughter and our son are missing and we don’t have any idea where the hell they are.

Oh my God.

Does your back feel any better? Uh, you know, if I imagine myself in a yoke class on a warm beach, that definitely helps. Want to do the same thing. Yeah. Look, I know that it’s hard to stay positive right now, but we gotta at least try. Yeah, well I’m positive that I want to punch Officer Coleman in the face.

Yeah, I hear you there. I just hope my mom sees the video and doesn’t completely freak out. Oh, she definitely will. But at least she’ll know we’re alive. Maybe she can figure out where the hell we are.

Eric, a little help here.

Oh my god.

You’ve got to be kidding me.

How’s mommy doing? She’s uh, she’s taking a nap. It’s called resting my eyes. How you doing, Mama? Fine, now that you’re here, my darling. And my Abraham, too. Well, I’m glad. And you know, I know something that’ll make you feel much better.

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

I was planning on it, too. Oh, Lonnie. Hi, Dad. You know, it’s just You’re getting released now? What timing. I mean, this is just great news.

Now, where are the They’re with Doug and Julie right now. They had a long day of travel, so they needed some down time and so do we.

Yeah, but not, it’s not like they’ll get that with Julie and Doug or with Thomas and Charlotte. They were just all over Carver and Jules, waiting to show them all their toys and games. And, uh, Says I hear we missed the wedding of the year. Oh yes, it was a gala event. No, actually it was simple and perfect.

Just what the doctor ordered. And where’s the husband of yours? Oh, Johnny went to grab some snacks, but he’ll be back soon. He has been here with me, Mama, and Abe through all of it. Hasn’t he, Mama? Uh, sure has. Yes, Ember. All of it. I’m sure Chanel means first my surgery and then my heart kind of going south on me.

Uh, um, you must have heard about that, Lonnie. Yeah, Mama, I did. Well, my heart, it may be failing, but right now it’s oh so full. Now that my I have my two beautiful daughters here with me. What do you think? Oh, there you are. Happy Valentine’s Day. Eric, is this the emergency you had me rush home for? It is.

I, I hope I didn’t scare you. No, I mean, it’s okay. This is so beautiful and romantic. The decorations are just the beginning. Because I have some very big plans for our special day.

So? What do we do now? We’ve shared childhood stories, and a game of I Spy won’t really work in here. I’ve got an idea. I’m open to any and all suggestions. Good, good, because I’m, uh, taking you to dinner. Yeah, that seems like a slightly illogical suggestion given the circumstances. Aw, I mean, illogical, that’s just relative, right?

I mean, one person finds illogical, the other person could find perfectly illogical. Logical and sensible, right? Okay. Okay, then allow me to be the perfectly logical and sensible person And suggest that we go to dinner in the most romantic city in the world Paris

Clyde I wasn’t expecting to hear from you today. Really? Even with the recent turn of events. Okay, look, I, uh, I’m in the middle of a crisis at the restaurant and I’m needed on the floor and that’s not a good time. Kind of hard to get back on the floor when you’re not at work, isn’t it? I mean, when you’re at home.

In your, you know, fancy mansion. How the hell? Hey. You will never see my people. You understand that? Yeah. Got it. But I got a lot of stuff I gotta take care of right now. Okay? Not okay. You should be focusing on your number one problem. And what’s that? Harris Michaels. He’s awake.

What is it? It’s a video. Of Tripp and Wendy. Play it. Hi mom. First you need to know that Wendy and I are okay. You’re getting this message as a warning to keep your mouth shut and not talk to any law enforcement about anything you’re currently involved in. And you will not tell anyone about this video.

You’re being monitored. So, be very careful what you say or do and be sure to do exactly as you’re told when you’re contacted. If you follow these instructions, Wendy and I can come home. And if you don’t, you’ll never see us again. I love you, Mom. Oh my God, Steve.

What do we do? Of course I’m being watched. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. That might be an empty threat, just to keep you in line. Okay, this is Clyde Weston we were talking about. He doesn’t make empty threats. He only makes promises. And did you see, did you see Wendy and Tripp? Did you see how exhausted and scared they look?

Where, where the hell are they? What are you doing? Trying to answer your question

Okay, so Our dinner in Paris. How do we make it happen? You know without actually flying there? Well See we make it happen with

A pot of water. Okay. Protein bar. And Chocolate kisses. Oh, Goldman was ever so generous, isn’t she? Learned it cold. Plan wasn’t intended. Fantastique. Now

Care to join me, mon amour?

Bien, sir, mon chéri. So When did you and my grandbabies get into town? Earlier today. All we did was drop off the luggage and the kids. We wanted to get here as soon as possible so we could see you. Oh, well, I, I appreciate that, my, my loves. Oh, oh, shoo. Oh, oh, just need a minute. I’ll come. You just take it easy, sweetheart, alright?

Chanel, you take Eli and Lonnie and show them where the ice machine is, and then you all can, you all can bring back some ice chips for your mom. Uh, of course. We’ll be right back.

You didn’t have to do that. What did I do? You sent them out of the room. Because you sensed there was too much excitement for me. Wow. And having them all in here. It’s part of it, it’s part of it, but I thought you might need a little break from coming out. Yeah, I wanted us to talk for a moment. Just the two of us.

Hmm.

So, I have cleared your calendar for the day. You obviously had my assistant go along with this. Well, Lillian knows how hard working you are as a boss, and so she was happy to help. And Jude’s sleeping? Actually not, he’s not here and he won’t be for a couple of hours because my mom is on grand babysitting duties.

We have the place to ourselves. Listen, I just want to give you a proper Valentine’s Day. Because I feel bad for conking out on you. Well. This is the perfect Valentine’s Day redo do over. And I’m just grateful that you did it for me. You’ve been working a lot. You’re a new mom. And I know how tough it can be.

But I wanted to make sure you know how important you are to me. Happy Valentine’s Day, my love. Happy Valentine’s Day. Look, Clyde, I’m well aware that Harris woke up. I was at the hospital when it happened. Yeah, so I heard. You and Ava both. So if you know that, then you know Harris doesn’t remember who shot him, so I’m in the clear.

In the clear? Do you think that because Michaels can’t remember you shooting a gun at him, that that lets you off the hook with me? Why wouldn’t it? Because I told you, in no uncertain terms, the last time we spoke, that you need to finish the job. That if Michael somehow regained consciousness, it was your job to make sure he lost it again.

Permanently. So unless you want to disappoint me more than you already have, you’re gonna finish the job, dammit. And you’re gonna do it today. Look,

I didn’t forget what you said, but it’s not like I can waltz into that hospital and shoot the guy. You seem to be under the impression that you have a choice. He is under 24 7 surveillance. And you know that. Which means, as long as Harris Michaels is in that hospital bed, he is untouchable, so how the hell am I supposed to kill him?

The how part is really easy. And I’ve already taken care of that. I’m pretty sure even you can’t screw it up. Close your eyes. And close my eyes, yes? Yes, of course. Okay, now I’m back to English. Now, we’ve been walking up and down the alley looking for this one cafe. Okay. And then, boom, something appears right on Rue Teilhard.

We take our seats, the waiter greets us. Ah, bonjour, monsieur, mademoiselle. Bonjour, monsieur. I, I tell the waiter, I was like, oh, pardonnez moi, my French is a little rusty. And then he smiles, he doesn’t mind. And then he welcomes us to the The finest café in Paris. Oh, wow. C’est très belle ici. It’s light. It’s the delicious aroma of all the French delicacies.

Escargot, quiche Lorraine, bouffe aux guignols. Oui, oui, oui. Et maintenant, il est temps pour un peu d’eau. À votre santé, mon chéri. Sante. Oh, Abe. I feel so lucky. Oh, have my beautiful daughters here with me. And you. My darling husband.

We are the lucky ones. And, hey, I know you’re dealing with your own issues. And, yet, yeah, in spite of all that, Still here with all of us here for, for all of us.

100 percent day and night. I don’t know how you do it. I’ll tell you my secret. Love. I love you, Pomona. That’s what motivates me. Our family. It’s the most important thing in my life. And you? You are the most important person in my life.

Mama was so happy to see you both. Me too. You came at exactly the right time when we all needed you the most. Well, we need you too. I mean, what mom was going through, what you’re going through. Yeah, it’s been tough, but mom is being really brave. Chanel, how serious was that heart attack? Um, it was pretty serious.

It was bad enough that she may need a new heart. A heart transplant. Yeah, it’s not definite yet, but Kayla said that it is a possibility. Okay, well, we will deal with that when we know more. Um, you got married in the middle of all of this? Mhm. Um, Mama, she was feeling pretty down about the wedding possibly having to be postponed due to her surgery being moved up, and so then Johnny came up with the idea to just have a small ceremony here.

That’s great. Um I know Mama would just enjoy every moment. Oh yeah, she was so excited. We all were. Abe officiated. I guess that. How are you doing? I’m doing okay. You know, like I said, Mama, she’s being stoic and brave. So I’m just trying to do the same. At least, you know, in front of her. But I’m really really grateful that you guys are here, and I know that the twins can’t see mama right now But I think that just knowing that they’re close by will lift her spirits because it’s definitely lifting mine I can’t wait to hang out with those little munchkins.

Oh, you’ll definitely get a chance lots of chances Is there anything we could do right now? No, just just Being here, really. You know, we can take turns sitting with mama, so if you and dad want to go and shower and do whatever you need to do. Thank you. Thank you. That will be super helpful. Yeah, and I think we just have to keep positive energy.

Well, that’s what we’re going to do, as a family. As a family. Okay, we’re going to get through this.

I just can’t believe how quickly you pulled it all together. I have my ways. I just wanted you to know how much you mean to me. Not how much I love you and our family.

I love you too, Eric Brady. You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me. You and our son. Wait. Wait. What? What is it? Just

wait a minute, okay? What are you hiding behind your bag? I think I am ready for my valentine’s day present. Oh. I

think I’m ready too. And don’t you go anywhere. I wouldn’t dream of it. Right,

here’s some ice chips, mama. Oh, thank you, sweetheart. Well, uh, uh, Lonnie and Ela. Oh, uh, they’re checking in with Julie and making sure the twins haven’t torn the house up yet. Oh, you know what, um I think I’m gonna go get a cup of coffee. I’ll be right back.

Oh, Mama. Can you believe that Lonnie is here? It’s a miracle. I can’t wait to cook us all a big family dinner. Okay, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We need to get you feeling better before you start cooking up a storm. Ooh, hold up now. If anybody’s going to be cooking up a storm, it’s going to be me.

We’re working on some recipes that I think will be price approved. Oh, Eli. Let me, let me, let me. Look at you,

I was just seeing you and my sweet Lonnie today. I was so good for my soul. Not that having Chanel and Johnny and Abraham. Yeah, pretty much day and night hasn’t been wonderful and comforting, but now it feels complete. My husband, my kids, my grandkids, oh, close by, oh, it already feels like my heart is getting stronger.

Cause it’s, Just so ill to the brim with love.

A package will be arriving shortly. Do you hear me? Yeah, I hear you. Inside you’ll find a vial and a syringe. You’ll inject the contents of the vial into Michael’s IV bag. And then what? A man will suffer what will appear to be a fatal heart attack. And that will be that. And just so we’re clear, when this is done, you and I were square, right?

Come on, Stefan. You’re smarter than that. Just do the job, and don’t screw it up.

Find anything yet? No, not yet. I just need to study this more closely. There must be something here that can give us a clue as to where they took Tripp and Wendy. I’m just gonna take it apart frame by frame.

Okay, so now You’re right, he’s still young, is he not? Oui. So, what next? How about a stroll along the Seine? You know, Paris at night, I’m there for you. As I close your eyes, it’s gonna be spooky. Okay. I will film, I miss you. Hey, mental mom. You see the Eiffel Tower twinkling in the distance? I do see it.

Magnifique. Oh, that sure was a cold wind off the river. Let me warm you up, ma chérie. Merci beaucoup, mon amour.

Happy belated Valentine’s Day. Same deal. Will you promise me that we’re not ever gonna go this long again without some us time? I think we can talk my mom into babysitting this morning. Now that, you know, she reviews in a routine. Maybe some sleepover action as well? It’s something we can work on, alright?

Let’s All right, yeah.

You found the coffee, I see. Yeah, I did. And I am just so glad to have a moment alone with you. Can I have a hug, Dad? Oh, of course, of course. Oh, honey, honey, I’m so happy to have you home.

Yeah, me too. I’m just I’m really worried about her. Oh, sweetheart. We all are. But she’s so strong. Yeah. And we’re trying to be positive. Optimistic. Right. Yeah, um. How are you doing, Dad? I assume you want to know if I remember my past. I still don’t. But there is one thing. One thing that I do know. I’m so lucky to be your father.

Best father anyone could ask for. It means so much to me. And speaking of fathers. Where is the father of my twin grandbabies, huh? He’s with mom. He wanted to show her pictures of the babies. Oh, she’ll be loving that. So are you going to plan on staying here in Salem for a while? That’s the plan right now.

But Eli is being considered for a new job in D. C. It would be a really great opportunity. We both have mixed feelings about not being here in Salem.

Anyways, right now, I just, I want to focus on mom, and I want to focus on being here for you and Chanel. I appreciate that. I need another hug. Definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely. Oh, honey. Your mother. Your mother is going to make it. She has to. Yeah. This is the

best news ever. Oh my. Would, would tomorrow be too soon, or can I come by? No, sure I can be there. No, I will be there. Yeah, I’m, I’m so happy for you. Alright, I’ll see you then. I’m, I’m so sorry. That wasn’t cool. And? She and Holly, they’re back. And Holly’s awake. Wow. That’s great news. No, it is a miracle. So this is it, huh?

This is how it ends.

Neat. Clean. Easy.

And then curtains down for hers, Michaels.

You know, Tripp is the most important person in my life. I’m so proud of the man that he’s become. He’s a good person. You know, he gets that from his dad.

He gets a lot from you too, Ava. Yeah, what? My sparkling personality? I’m pretty sure he gets some of his strength from you. Yeah, well I wish I felt strong right now. Listen, Ava, we’re going to find our son. Come hell or high water, we’re going to find him and Wendy and bring him home.

I’m trying super hard to be positive. And our trip to Paris definitely helped, but we’re still stuck in this godforsaken tank. Are we ever going to get out of here? I mean, what happened? Shh. No, no, there’s no what ifs. There’s no what ifs, okay? We are going to be found and rescued. Okay, I know that. I know that.

Hey, we just, we have to wait. We have to, we have to be patient. Hey, I, I, I, I love you. Wait. I can’t, I can’t wait to take you to Paris for real, okay? I damn well will. You promise? I promise. Je promets. Très bien, mon amour.

This, this is the ice cream incident that I was telling you about. I had no idea how powerful Rocky Roe was until this moment. Even Messy as can be, so beautiful, so beautiful. I see you’re showing off the babies. Yes, I am. Oh, and it’s too bad you only have about 50 million photos of them. Oh, more than that.

And I’m sure Julie will have taken even more and will have a full report for us of all their shenanigans. Mama, are you okay? I’m just happy to see Lonnie. Oh, uh, Disa. These are, I treasure these moments. They mean, they’re so precious. Mama, we are going to have a whole lot of time together. All of us. Yeah, we definitely will.

I mean, I’m personally looking forward to Alani coming home. And God will answer more of our prayers with your, your kind and generous heart.

That’s right. This family, we need you, Mama. We need you to stick around for a long, long time. You got that?

Got it. Oh, I love you my darlings. I love you so much.

Update written by Joseph

Stefan goes to the hospital, dressed as a doctor, with the syringe in hand. He stops and thinks back to receiving the syringe and vial in the package from Clyde and declaring this would be how it ends for Harris Michaels. Stefan tells himself that he can do this and he’ll just get in and out. Stefan then stops when he sees Officer Goldman patrolling outside of Harris’s room.

John and Steve are at Black Patch, trying to figure out if someone kidnapped Tripp and Wendy. Steve notes that their last cell phone pings were in the town square during the geocaching event. John gets a call from Brady and asks how Tate is doing. Brady says they just got there but they know John is on the visitors list so he asks if he can make it. John tells Steve about Tate being moved to a halfway house, so Steve tells him to go. Brady tells John that he’ll see him soon and they hang up. Steve assures John that it’s okay for him to take off as he’s still waiting on notes anyways and he will keep working on it until he gets back. John insists that they will find Tripp as he then exits the office. Konstantin then arrives and tells Steve that he thought John would never leave. Steve says he’s busy. Konstantin says he’s a busy man too, but he made time in his schedule to see him.

Nicole brings Holly breakfast in bed and asks how she’s doing. Holly says it’s still weird to her. Holly guesses it’s way past New Year’s Eve. Nicole tells her that the doctors assured them that a person tends to pick up where they left off after a coma. Nicole talks about a player in the Buffalo Bills that was in a coma and recovered to play again. Holly argues that she’s not a football player and that Nicole hasn’t let her see her phone or the news. Holly adds that she can’t even wrap her brain around the fact that she was in a hospital in Italy. Holly questions what Nicole is not telling her. EJ enters the room and asks how they are doing.

Brady tells Theresa that John is heading over. Theresa says that Tate will be so happy to see him. Brady and Theresa check in at the front desk where they find out that Theresa is on the list but Brady is not. Theresa argues that there must be a mistake but the lady at the desk says she can’t just let anyone in without the patient’s permission. Brady tells Theresa to go ahead and he’ll be there if she needs him. Theresa heads on in to see Tate and hugs him, saying it’s so good to see him. Theresa mentions that Brady is there. Tate tells her not to do this. Theresa asks what she’s doing. Tate accuses her of trying to guilt trip him in to seeing Brady.

Stefan puts on his face mask and approaches Officer Goldman. She says thank God he’s there and goes to get coffee, leaving Stefan in shock.

Konstantin tells Steve that they are going to be here for awhile as he offers him some baklava that he made but Steve declines. Konstantin talks about spending time with Thomas and Charlotte and loving children. Steve says he doesn’t have time for this. Konstantin wants Steve to remember the time he spent in Aria in Greece. Konstantin talks about his daughter Catharina. Steve tells him to shut up as he’s in the middle of a case and repeats that he doesn’t have time for this. Konstantin asks if Steve’s son is still missing. Steve asks what it is to him. Konstantin says he can certainly relate to the pain, anger, and frustration. Konstantin says he understands because he goes through that every day, wondering who killed his daughter.

Nicole tells EJ that they are doing great and asks him to help her get Holly up because Sarah said she should get up a few times a day and walk around. EJ encourages her as Holly questions how long she’s been in a coma. Nicole tells her to take it easy as EJ helps her out of the bed. Holly wants her phone to order a burger but Nicole tells her that she can’t have that because she has to reintroduce food into her system slowly. EJ suggests chowder from the Pub but Nicole says no. Nicole and Holly joke with each other while EJ calls their back and forth beautiful and says he’s missed it.

Theresa tells Tate that she’s not guilt tripping him. Tate tells her not to try to force him to see Brady today. Theresa argues that they had a great relationship before. Tate says ever since he started therapy, it brought up a lot of stuff for him like how Brady wasn’t there for him growing up and when they moved to California. Theresa informs him that she had a big part in that which Tate questions. Theresa admits she’s the one who insisted they move to California and that she kept him from his father.

Konstantin tells Steve that it’s a parent’s worst nightmare to lose a child and that it doesn’t get easier with time. Konstantin says he misses Catharina more as time goes on, not less. Konstantin calls her the only good thing he ever did. Konstantin asks if Steve feels that way about his children. Steve responds that his children mean everything to him. Konstantin says he must understand how terribly painful his loss has been then. Konstantin asks if he does understand. Steve asks how he could not. Konstantin says he appreciates his empathy more than he knows.

John joins Brady, who thanks him for coming. John asks what’s going on and if he’s been in to see Tate yet. Brady says no and that Theresa is seeing him right now. Brady then reveals that Tate didn’t put him on the list. John says he’s seen them together and that bond is strong. John encourages him to just give it time and patience as he guarantees things will be okay. Brady hopes so but he knows Tate wants to see his granddad, so he tells John to go in and see him. John tells Brady that he loves him and heads in to see Tate.

Tate can’t believe Theresa moved him to California to keep him from Brady and accuses her of just making that up. Theresa reveals that she had custody of Tate because she made up a lie that implicated Brady in a murder case. Theresa repeats that she lied and that got her custody which allowed her to take Tate with her to California. Theresa tells Tate that she’s hurt Brady so much more than he has hurt either of them. Theresa assures Tate that his father loves him, always has and always will. Theresa adds that there is something else that she thinks she wants him to know. Theresa brings up the first night that Tate was sent away and how she was a mess. Theresa admits that she slipped in a really big way and Brady was there for her, kind, forgiving, and supportive despite everything she had done to him. Theresa tells Tate that he and Brady need each other in their lives. John enters and hugs Tate. John tells him that Theresa is right that Brady needs him because he loves him with all his heart and acknowledges that Theresa took a big risk in telling him the truth which was brave of her. John says she did that because she trusted enough in Tate’s love for her to know she wouldn’t lose him. John calls that unconditional love, encouraging that is what they always have for him forever.

Stefan sneaks in to Harris’s hospital room while dressed as a doctor and thinks back to shooting Harris. Stefan remarks that Harris survived those bullets, but not this time. Stefan then goes to inject the syringe in to Harris’s IV but Harris suddenly wakes up and grabs his arm, saying not so fast. Stefan tries to escape but Harris gets out of the bed and captures Stefan, remarking that it’s so good to see him.

Steve understands Konstantin is still grieving his daughter but questions if he’s trying to implicate him in her death which Konstantin denies. Konstantin says he’s simply sharing how her death haunts him every day. Steve declares that no one was supposed to die that day and calls it a terrible accident. Konstantin asks if Steve witnessed it. Steve says not directly. Konstantin questions if Steve admits he was there when Catharina died as the Pawn put a bullet through her head.

EJ suggests getting Holly back in bed but Holly wants Nicole to answer her questions, starting with why she was in a coma for months. EJ informs Holly that she had opioid laced drugs in her system. EJ says it’s okay as they know she doesn’t do drugs and they are going to get to the bottom of what happened. EJ explains that it was an overdose and her heart stopped several times, so she nearly died before slipping into unconsciousness. Nicole adds that it happened on New Year’s Eve and asks if she remembers anything else. Holly says not really other than the sound of fireworks. EJ encourages her to try to think hard. EJ states that Holly was drugged with potentially lethal drugs that almost cost her life, so it’s very important that they know where they came from. Nicole then asks Holly where she got the drugs.

Brady watches sadly as another family comes out from the door.

Theresa tells Tate that Brady has missed him so much and that he’s in the waiting room, hoping that Tate will agree to see him. John tells Tate about how he just found his long lost father. John says he’s a wonderful man and they missed out on so many years that they can’t get back. John doesn’t want Tate to look back one day and have any regrets about the time he missed with his dad, but says it’s his call. John asks if he can go get Brady to tell him that Tate would like to see him after all. John then exits the room and announces that Tate Black would like to see his father. Brady is shocked and hugs John ,thanking him as he is then allowed to go in. John tells Brady to call him and that Tate is a good kid. Brady thanks John again as he exits.

Stefan tells Harris that he had no choice and asks what he wants from him as Harris holds him in a chokehold. Harris says they all have choices and that Stefan seems to take instruction well. Harris declares that Stefan works for him now and he’s going to help him take down Clyde Weston.

Konstantin asks Steve if he needs to confess because now is the time. Konstantin argues that it would help him to relieve the guilt and finally admit the truth. Steve responds that nothing will relieve him of the guilt. Konstantin asks again if he was there in Aria on that terrible day. Steve admits that he was there but he wishes he hadn’t been. Konstantin begs Steve to tell him more, feeling they both deserve to have peace of mind about this. Konstantin assures that it will help. Steve calls it a long time ago and says they were different people then. Steve then admits that he was The Pawn’s handler for Victor. Steve explains that he was called away to be given instruction and when he came back, there was a young girl lying there dead. Steve cries that the image has tormented him all this time and he didn’t know who she was. Konstantin states that he does know now which Steve confirms. Konstantin asks where The Pawn was when he came back. Steve responds that he was there, holding the gun and someone else was lying next to the girl on the ground but he couldn’t see that person’s face but he knew it was Konstantin.

Brady goes in to see Tate and they greet each other. Theresa claims she has to make a call and exits. Tate tells Brady that it’s good to see him. Brady tells him the same. Brady doesn’t know what John said to him. Tate reveals it was Theresa telling him the truth about what happened between them and what she did to take him to California away from him.

EJ asks Holly again to please tell them where she got the drugs and if Tate gave them to her. Holly says she doesn’t know and claims she doesn’t remember taking any drugs, so someone must have given them to her or slipped them in her drink without her knowing. Nicole questions her not getting the drugs from Tate or anyone. Holly says she’s just tired and needs to rest, so they help her back in to the bed. EJ and Nicole then exit the room together.

Harris tells Stefan that he’s going to keep him here until they are clear on where they stand. Harris goes over that he has him on attempted murder of a police officer twice, first on the loading dock and then with the syringe. Harris points out that Stefan is not wearing gloves so his fingerprints will be all over the murder weapon and asks if he has any idea what kind of time he’s going to serve. Harris then shoves Stefan onto the hospital bed and asks if he’s ready to play ball to which Stefan nods.

Konstantin yells at Steve, demanding to know where the bastard that killed Catharina is and vowing to choke the life out of him. Steve tells him that John is not the one he wants as he was not the puppet master there since whatever he did was out of his control. Konstantin questions him not denying that John was the Pawn. Steve argues that John was transformed in to that maniac by Stefano and then by Victor and they are both dead. Steve tells Konstantin that he can go spit on their graves but leave John out of it as he’s suffered enough. Konstantin shouts that he’s the one who has suffered and now he wants them both to suffer like he has. Steve questions what he means. Konstantin remarks that Steve’s missing son might still be alive but his daughter isn’t and he will have justice as he then storms out.

Holly lays in bed and begins having flashbacks of New Year’s Eve and Tate.

EJ tells Nicole that he knew someone slipped Holly the drugs and they both know who it was. EJ asks who else it could’ve been since no one else was drugged. EJ argues that Holly was roofied and no one would have done that other than her date, believing that Tate was trying to get in to Holly’s pants.

Theresa tells Brady that it was time that Tate knew the truth. Brady doesn’t know what to say. Tate tells Brady that he’s so sorry. Brady says he has nothing to be sorry about at all. Brady thanks Theresa for telling the truth and says he’s grateful. Brady tells Tate that he loves him. Brady adds that he and Theresa will always be there for him no matter what as they embrace. They talk about needing to catch up and joke about having to watch the Super Bowl alone. Tate thanks Theresa for opening up to him and having the courage to tell him the truth. Theresa is glad she did and says seeing them laugh together makes her happy as she hugs Tate.

Nicole goes back in to Holly’s room and sits next to her. EJ returns and says he knew he would find her there. Nicole says she was just making sure it was all still real that Holly is home and has come back to them. EJ understands that need, but assures that it is very real. Nicole points out that Holly obviously doesn’t remember that she was drugged and she hopes that they weren’t her drugs that did this to her. Nicole feels it would reflect on her because if Holly was using, that would mean she failed her as a mother. EJ encourages that she hasn’t. Nicole feels that she has in so many ways as she’s been selfish and if the drugs were Holly’s, it’s just another box ticked off on the terrible mother checklist. Nicole acknowledges that she should’ve been there for Holly more and talks about losing a baby and stealing Eric’s baby. Nicole says she was trying to make sense of it all and handle getting through each day. EJ tells her to stop beating herself up and calls her a wonderful mother. EJ adds that Holly made it clear that the drugs did not belong to her which means she’s completely innocent in all of this. EJ calls Holly a wonderful young woman and says Nicole raised her right so she should be very proud. EJ suggests they let Holly get some rest, so he and Nicole exit the room again.

John returns to the Black Patch office and asks Steve if there’s any breaking news since he left. John talks about finding Tripp being the priority. Steve shows John where Tripp and Wendy were last seen at the park. John says they are making progress and to keep at it while Steve remains distracted.

Harris tells Stefan that he can go and he’ll be in touch. Stefan then runs out of the room. Harris climbs back into the hospital bed in pain. Officer Goldman returns to his room and seems shocked to see Harris awake. Harris looks at her and declares “it’s you”. Goldman then panics and rushes out of the room as a nurse enters.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Christine gasps ]

Christine: Yes! Hi! I’m so glad you called.

Nina: Of course i called, silly. Whenever I’m in town, you’re at the top of my list of people to seE. I love you so much.

Christine: Thank you. Thank you. How long are you in town for?

Nina: Uh, a few days. I’ve got some meetings in new york next week. And it gave me an excuse to pop in and check up on chance and see how he’s doing at chancellor-winters.

Christine: Bumped into him once or twice. Still not really used to that business suit.

Nina: Ah! I just hope that he’s thriving because I, personally, am over the moon that my son finally has a job that won’t get him shot.

Christine: It’s gotta be such a relief.

Nina: It is.

Christine: So, you know that gcpd, um, they lost a good guy when chance walked away.

Nina: Oh, he had a great run in law enforcement. And I couldn’t be more proud of what he’s achieved. But I do not regret his career change. Jill better keep him happy or else.

Christine: Listen, the– the timing of your trip, it’s– it’s perfect. I could use a friend.

Nina: Because of danny?

Christine: How’d you guess?

Nina: So, tell me again, what happened with you two?

Christine: Look, phyllis.

Danny: No, the dates are great. I’m– I’m really excited about moving the tour up and getting back out there in front of a live audience. We’ve got the new material from the album I’m dying to try out on the fans, so, fantastic. All right, so, yeah, I’ll wait for the itinerary and then, uh, I’ll start my packing. Okay, thanks so much. Bye.

Phyllis: Wait a second, you’re going on tour? I mean, when– now? When we’re so close to getting back together?

Nikki: Oh, my goodness. How gorgeous. Victor… “thank you for being a friend still. Best, seth.” Oh, my gosh. Um, larry, you can wait out in the foyer. Please close the door behind you.

[ Line ringing ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Seth: Nikki?

Nikki: I got your flowers. Completely unnecessary, but they’re beautiful.

Seth: Yeah, well, it’s the least I could do. I mean, you could have pushed me away when I needed someone to talk, but instead you were kind and that really meant a lot to me. So, thanks again.

Nikki: You’re welcome. And thank you.

Seth: Hey, uh, since I got you on the phone, I got some news.

Nikki: Oh? What is it?

Seth: Uh, you feel like grabbing coffee? Crimson lights?

Nikki: Now?

Seth: If you’re available, I think you’ll really be pleased by what I have to tell you. And I’m not drinking.

Nikki: Well, if you don’t mind a bodyguard hovering nearby, I would be happy to meet with you.

Seth: Great. So I’ll see you in a bit.

Victor: Well, now look at that.

Victoria: Hi, daddy.

Victor: Hi, sweetheart.

Victoria: We just came from showing claire her guest suite.

Victor: Wow. Everything to your liking?

Claire: It’s the most amazing bedroom I’ve ever seen, yet it still manages to feel so warm and cozy. And the bathroom even has a sauna, and the closet…

Cole: It’s a pretty good size, huh?

Claire: It’s enormous. My little wardrobe will fit in a corner.

Victoria: Well, I know that the ranch can be pretty overwhelming at first.

Claire: The place is like a fantasy. The grounds, the house, the pool.

Victoria: You should see the little spring-fed lake. I don’t know if you did, but nick and I, we used to look for frogs and turtles when we were kids.

Victor: Well, I suggest you have your parents show you around the ranch. Do you ride?

Claire: No, but…

Victor: No?

Claire: …I’ve always wanted to learn.

Cole: Well, there are plenty of people around to teach you.

Victor: Certainly.

Cole: And the trails are beautiful, especially in the winter.

Claire: I am so grateful to be able to stay here. Thank you.

Victoria: No, you don’t have to thank us.

Victor: You know, once this whole saga with that jordan woman has come to an end, um, you can decide where you want to stay. With your parents or here. You’re a newman now. That will never change. The chewy app has everything for petS.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Claire: I hope to live up to your faith in me. Prove myself worthy.

Cole: Well, that’s not how family works. You don’t need to prove a thing.

Victor: But you already have. By being willing to help us capture your aunt and bring her to justice.

Claire: I want that as much as you do. All of the therapy has helped me to see the truth about that woman. I hate what she’s done to me. To all of you. The thought of her makes me sick.

Victoria: Still, jordan did raise you. You don’t feel any kind of a connection to her?

Claire: Not since that day in the cabin. I got her gun away from her. If nikki hadn’t stopped me… jordan is the person who took me from my family. That’s all she’ll ever be to me. A threat to be dealt with. I need to protect you all the way you’re protecting me.

Victoria: I can’t thank you enough for that.

Victor: Well, I already started the ball rolling. The news of your release from memorial hospital has hit the media. And once your aunt gets wind of it, I’m sure that she will respond.

Christine: Okay, so, you know, this started before the holidays.

Nina: Phyllis’s shenanigans.

Christine: Oh, that is way too nice of a word for what she’s been pulling.

Nina: You’re right, I’m sorry, I forgot who we were talking about. The original queen of bad behavior.

Christine: I tried to take the high road for as long as I could because things were fine. You know, they were better than fine. Christmas was amazing. And then we were gonna take that weekend getaway.

Nina: Oh, that would have been so romantic.

Christine: Oh, which sent phyllis into orbit.

Nina: No, of course it did. What did she do?

Christine: She just doesn’t want us to be happy. So she stirred up that whole social media thing, timed it so I walked in and saw their kiss. I mean, after that happened, I couldn’t very well ignore her.

Nina: She got under your skin.

Christine: Yes, yes, but don’t you see? I promised that I would never let myself do this again. But I’m telling you, that woman!

Nina: I know, believe me.

Christine: I was acting like this jealous schoolgirl. Not a good look, especially with danny. He’s never seen me act insecure, and I think it really rattled him.

Nina: No, you were fresh off a divorce, feeling more vulnerable than usual, and phyllis knew it. She pushed all your buttons.

Christine: And ever since then, it has been nonstop drama. Phyllis acts out, I put her in her place, and we wind up at each other’s throats.

Nina: Well, please, will you let me strangle her?

Christine: Oh, come on, you have no idea how tempted I am. But, no, I’m serious. This has gotten really bad. Danny’s backed away from both of us. He can’t handle the conflict, and unfortunately, phyllis gets to me, I play right into it, and I am driving him away all by myself.

Nina: I’m so sorry. I should have come back sooner and snapped you out of this.

Christine: No, that judge should have put phyllis away for killing stark. We would have all been so much better off without her.

Nina: I know, I agree. You know, you can’t give up on this. That’s not the cricket I know.

Danny: You just can’t leave it alone, can you? You refuse to accept reality.

Phyllis: Hey, listen, danny. Okay. Look–

Danny: No, I want you to stop, okay? All right? Nothing has changed. We are not– I repeat– we are not getting back together. I don’t have romantic feelings for you. We are friends, coparents. That’s it!

Phyllis: Well, I know this. I know there’s something between us.

[ Danny sighs ] And it’s very, very powerful. I feel it. Listen, when I look at you and christine, there’s no spark. It’s like watching paint dry.

Danny: Which is the other reason why we’re not gonna have this conversation. Because I do not want to be this dodgeball that you two keep throwing at each other.

Phyllis: Well, that’s a bad metaphor. Because if it were dodgeball, christine would be on the floor by now.

Danny: Okay, that’s not funny.

Phyllis: It’s a little bit funny.

Danny: No, it’s not.

Phyllis: Hey, listen to me. I know your hesitation. I understand it. I didn’t expect this either. It caught me by surprise. I didn’t expect you to walk into my life at this late date and feel this way.

Danny: I’m not buying a word you’re saying.

Phyllis: I’m completely sincere.

[ Danny scoffs ] I am. Hey, listen. You have two women fighting over you. I mean, one of them happens to be me– lucky you.

Danny: Oh, so you think this is flattering? Well, guess what? It’s exhausting. It really is. And I just can’t handle all this pettiness. So, yeah, I’ve added dates. I’m moving up the second part of the tour, and it’s time that I leave genoa city.

Phyllis: Well, those dates can’t be set in stone. They can be changed. You know that. Is there anything I can do to change your mind?

Danny: Not a single thing. My dry eye’s made me a burning,

Phyllis: Well, I guess that’s decided. You’re leaving to go on tour. Well, that’s that.

Danny: Yeah. 100%.

Phyllis: Well, I guess my loss is your fans’ gain. Right? And I’m sure they’ll all enjoy listening to you and watching you perform. Hearing all of your new songs. Especially that one that we collaborated on. Yeah.

Phyllis: So, when do you leave?

Danny: Two weeks. Yeah.

Phyllis: It’s so soon.

Danny: Not soon enough for me. I need a break from my break, which really wasn’t restful at all.

Phyllis: Okay, well, at least can we have dinner together before you leave?

Danny: I–

Phyllis: A fond farewell? I– I don’t– I don’t think that’s a good idea.

Phyllis: Okay, no strings attached, just a goodbye dinner.

Danny: Phyllis, I–

Phyllis: Just– really, just a dinner with me. To say goodbye. Before I have to share you with the rest of the world.

Danny: Okay. Fine. We’ll, uh, yeah, we’ll set something up in a week or so.

Phyllis: How about tonight?

Nina: Cricket, you cannot throw in the towel ’cause then phyllis wins, and that’s unacceptable.

Christine: All right, well, listen. I’m not only upset with phyllis. I mean, I’m not loving how danny’s handling this either.

Nina: What do you mean?

Christine: Well, he insists on being supportive and treating her like a friend. He’s buying into this nonsense that she’s changed. It’s ludicrous.

Nina: It is ludicrous. He knows who phyllis is just as much as you do.

Christine: Yeah, you’d think, right? But she plays on his sympathies. She milks it for all it’s worth. And she looks for any little sign that he’s being decent toward her. Like that could mean something, and, you know, danny’s not helping, saying that he cares for both of us.

Nina: Oh, you can’t believe that. I mean, that he could see her that way? No.

Christine: The fact that he could have any sort of attraction for her is– it’s so disturbing. I just– I have so many doubts right now.

Nina: Okay. Do give up.

Christine: What?

Nina: Sort of. I mean, don’t necessarily give up entirely, but just back away. Throw yourself into work or some interesting project. Just be busy. Create some distance. Basically be nowhere to be found on the planet.

Christine: I– I– I– I see what you’re saying.

Nina: Just let danny know, with your actions, that he’s in danger of losing you again. And then it’ll be up to him whether to cross that gap you’ve created to prevent that.

Christine: Dating coach?

Nina: No, I’ve just been studying, you know, romantic dynamics for my storytelling purposes and just picked up a few tried-and-true methods to get things back on track.

Christine: I see.

Nina: Now, I know it’s gonna sound counterintuitive. You’re used to being in charge of everything all the time. So it’s gonna take some willpower on your part. But I guarantee it’ll have an impact on danny. Because you are the object of his desire. You always have been. When he sees you pulling away, he’s gonna realize what’s at stake and get with the program.

Nikki: Good morning, esther.

Esther: Nikki, hi. It’s so nice to see you. Uh… that man behind you, is he your bodyguard?

Nikki: Yes, he is.

Esther: Well, wha– what does that mean? A– a– are you in danger? I– I wa– I wasn’t trained for anything like this. I– is– is there gonna be trouble?

Nikki: No, I’m not anticipating any.

Esther: Oh, that’s good. I think.

Nikki: So, I would like a hot tea, please, raspberry and bring an extra one for larry here. Everything will be fine. Thank you for your concern.

Esther: Oh, well, you’re like family to me, nikki. Of course I worry.

Seth: Hi. You got here quick.

Nikki: Well, newman tower is not far from here.

Seth: All right, well, thanks for freeing up some time to meet with me.

Nikki: Well, when you said you had news, I couldn’t help but be curious.

Seth: Yeah. Um, before we get to that, what’s the deal with the guard, if I may ask? I mean, what– is it about that ordeal you went through with the women force-feeding you vodka?

Nikki: Yeah, I’m afraid it is. The mastermind has escaped from prison, and she’s made it clear that she’s not done torturing us yet.

Seth: That’s terrible.

Nikki: Yes, well, i finally convinced my husband that I shouldn’t be a prisoner in my own home because of it, so we decided that I can get out and about again as long as larry escorts me.

Seth: Okay. Well, I’m glad you’re being careful.

Nikki: I have to admit I do feel safer with him around.

Seth: Yeah. Wow. I just feel like my mind’s blown that this woman would even be foolish enough to come after you again.

Nikki: Well, she’s insane, and she is obsessed with me paying for things that happened decades ago, things that I had no part in.

Jordan: All right, claire. Where are you now? If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Nikki: Thank you, esther.

Esther: Oh, you’re welcome.

Seth: So this woman who did that to you, what– what was her name again?

Nikki: I’d rather not talk about her. It’s too upsetting.

Seth: Okay. Understood.

Nikki: So, what’s this news of yours?

Seth: All right, all right, all right, all right, all right. I’m starting to realize that just going to meetings and talking to my sponsor is not cutting it, and if i really want to kick the booze altogether, I’m gonna admit myself to rehab.

Nikki: Oh, seth, that’s wonderful.

Seth: Yeah. Truth is, I think that’s my only hope. I mean, I thought that reconnecting with you and getting your forgiveness was gonna push me to sobriety, and that’s what isabel encouraged me to try, but I really think I need more structured help.

Nikki: Mm. Well, I’m glad you’re taking charge of your recovery in such a strong way.

Seth: Yeah. I’m ready, you know? It just– it feels right.

Nikki: So, this isabel, I assume you’re talking about that same woman that you mentioned last time?

Seth: Yeah, from aa.

Nikki: I– I really can’t place her from my meetings. I– I don’t recognize that name.

Seth: She was probably starting to avoid you.

Nikki: Why would she be avoiding me?

[ Seth exhales sharply ]

Jordan: “Claire grace has been released from medical treatment at genoa city memorial hospital into the care of cole howard and victoria newman, daughter of… titan victor newman. Rumor has it that the young woman is howard and newman’s daughter.” Oh, my god. They’re taking her in. Making her one of their own. Claire, don’t you see what’s going on? They’re going to destroy you the same way they destroyed my sister.

Victor: Just know that once the story hits the news outlets, um, newman media will do an in-depth piece on the three of you, all right? And they will talk about the newest newman and the fact that both your parents have found you again after thinking that you had been buried.

Claire: You’re going public with this now? The whole world’s gonna know who I am?

Victoria: We weren’t planning on keeping it a secret forever, just until, you know, things settled down and we could get a handle on it.

Cole: Claire, you didn’t think we were ashamed, did you? Because nothing could be further from the truth.

Claire: This all feels strange. Jordan insisted my whole life that we keep my identity under wraps.

Victor: I promise you that from now on she will control none of your life.

Victoria: Do you feel ready? To handle the change?

Claire: I have no idea what this is gonna mean.

Victoria: Well, we’re all gonna be there to help you through this, I promise.

Cole: Claire, once this story hits, there’s going to be a lot going on. There’s gonna be a lot of attention focused on the three of us, but especially you. I mean, it’s the kind of revelation that every news outlet is gonna want to put their own spin on.

Victor: Your father’s right, okay? They’ll come at you from all sides, wanting interviews, tv appearances, et cetera.

Victoria: We will do our best to shield you, and I’m gonna prepare johnny and katie so that nobody’s blindsided by this.

Victor: Right. Newman media has an exclusive on this story, obviously. And nikki runs newman media. That way we keep control of it all.

Claire: Make sure it’s where jordan can’t miss it.

Victoria: Right, but this is more about you than it is her. This is our way of publicly cementing your place in the family.

Claire: Thank you for the heads-up. I’ll do my best to prepare myself.

Cole: Well, the first hurricane’s always the hardest. After a while, you’re handling them like a pro.

Claire: I do have one question. Why isn’t nikki here? Is she all right with me moving in? I would’ve called yesterday.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Victor: Claire, I want you to know that nikki is very much on board with you staying here.

Victoria: I’m curious too, dad. Where is mom this morning? I thought you were adamant about her staying at the ranch.

Victor: Yeah, I certainly was. However, your mother convinced me that it was good for her well-being to get away from the confines of the ranch for a while.

Cole: So, where is she now?

Victor: I want you all to know that there’s no problem, okay? I said to her, “if you go to the office, one of my security team will be at your side at all times.”

Seth: Okay, so, you and isabel were friends back in your drinking days, right, and then you got sober together, but then you had a falling out because she fell off the wagon, and stayed there– yeah.

Nikki: None of that ever happened. At least, not that I can remember. I have never known anybody with the name of isabel.

Seth: Really? Wow. I don’t really know what to say. I’m sorry I even brought it up.

Nikki: Why?

Seth: Like I said, she confided in me. She asked me not to bring up her name because it was such a slurred subject. And now I’ve betrayed her trust. I don’t know, I feel terrible. And I– I just– you know, because she was the one that encouraged me to patch things up with you.

Nikki: Remind me, what exactly did isabel say to you?

Seth: You know, I told you, she– she told me that i shouldn’t just assume that you would hate me or blame me for failing as your sponsor. And that I should give you credit for being compassionate.

Nikki: So she urged you to reach out to me, and get close again. What does she look like?

Seth: Uh, I mean, she’s about your age. Reddish hair, glasses.

Nikki: Okay, now I know I have never met this woman. That description doesn’t fit anybody that I know. How did you two strike up this conversation? And– and how did my name get brought up?

Seth: I mean, she approached me, and she said we had a friend in common. And she said your name.

Nikki: How did she know who you were? How did she know that you knew me?

Christine: I’ve come so close to walking away. And I know danny threatened to do that himself, but I just can’t believe that either one of us want to just leave this on a bad note.

Nina: No. I can’t imagine that either. I mean, the man’s carried a torch for you for how many years? I honestly think that if you give him a little incentive, he’ll get going in the right direction.

Christine: Yeah, look, one thing’s for certain. This situation with phyllis has to end, I cannot put up with her garbage anymore. It’s time to draw a line in the sand.

Danny: Please don’t pressure me, phyllis. This is exactly what I’m trying to get away from.

Phyllis: It’s not what I’m doing, I swear.

Danny: Well, it’s a good imitation.

Phyllis: I happen to have this evening off. I’m free all evening, actually. Which is very rare for me, because I have a very full social calendar. I’m not a hermit.

Danny: Never said you were.

Phyllis: And don’t you want to get it over with anyway? Just do it, get it out of the way, so you can get back to going over your set list and, you know, finalizing everything for the tour. You must have a million and one things to attend to between now and then, right?

Danny: Yeah, your argument, uh, does make a lot of sense. So…

Phyllis: Okay.

Danny: Okay. Let’s do it.

Phyllis: Okay.

Danny: Dinner. I’m gonna get the check. One second. Excuse me. Hey, hi. Can I just get the check? Thank you.

Phyllis: I just have one final request. Ugh, I can’t wait to get out of here…

Danny: All right, look. I know where this is going, all right? We are not having a private dinner at your place, or mine either. I’m not falling for this.

Phyllis: Okay. We’ll have to buy out an entire restaurant for you to do what I have in mind.

Danny: Don’t go there, okay?

Phyllis: I’m not thinking of anything risqué. Not in public, anyway. What I want you to do is cook for me.

Victor: Well, claire, I’m gonna leave you in your mother’s capable hands. She’ll give you the rest of the tour.

Claire: I’d love that.

Victoria: Where are you off to?

Victor: I’m gonna meet with security. And why don’t you join me, meet the new supervisor, all right?

Cole: That sounds good.

Victor: Okay.

Victoria: All right, see you later.

Victor: Bye-bye.

Claire: Bye.

Victoria: Uh, you know, I thought maybe next we could head to the kitchen, and check that out. You hungry for anything?

Claire: Not just yet.

Victoria: All right.

Claire: Um, hey.

Victoria: Yeah?

Claire: I get the feeling you still have issues with this arrangement.

Victoria: No, no, not at all. Just– just with my dad’s plan. I’m thrilled that you’re out of the hospital, and you’re finally getting to know your family. I know it’s gonna be challenging at times, but, um, I hope you can feel how sincere everyone is about welcoming you home. Even your new grandfather.

Claire: It just amazes me, thinking about having two brothers and a sister. It was, uh– it was lonely, growing up with just jordan around.

Victoria: You know that was never supposed to be your life.

Claire: From my research, I– I know basic things, like how old they are, stuff like that. But I want to know everything. What do we have in common? What do we not have in common? If you think they’ll ever accept me…

Victoria: Oh, they are going to accept you, don’t worry. And I have so many stories to tell you about them, you’re gonna beg me to stop.

[ Claire chuckles ]

Claire: I can’t wait.

Seth: Isabelle told me that she spent years in and out of aa. But she would show up late, and sit in the back, and then just leave before anyone noticed, you know. But she did say that she saw me speak a few times, so listening, she put the two together, that you and I know each other.

Nikki: Is it possible she was wearing a wig?

Seth: Uh, I– I guess it’s possible, I hadn’t really thought about it, it just– nikki, you’re not worried about this person, are you? You don’t– you don’t think that she’s the woman who gave you the alcohol I.V., Do you?

Nikki: I think it’s very possible.

[ Seth sighs ]

Seth: Oh, my god.

Nikki: So where did you two leave things?

Seth: I– I let her know that the meeting between you and I, you know, when we talked, that went great, at your place, and then– and then I– i saw her in person again, and she told me that I should just– just be there for you. But then she started texting me nonstop, and she just wanted any information between you and I, anything about us. And I just– I just never responded. ‘Cause you see, the thing is, we would always meet in a bar, and she was drinking too, and I just thought that since I decided to go to rehab, that it would probably be a bad idea for us to really see each other again.

Nikki: Yeah, okay, listen. The number that she texted you from, I need you to give it to me.

Seth: Yeah, well… what are you gonna do?

Nikki: I’m gonna find out if this is the same person who has been torturing me. And that’s why she wants you and me to get close again, so that she can use you as a cover to stalk me. If you would be willing to help.

Seth: Anything. Just say the word.

Nikki: String her along. Don’t ignore her texts. Keep her on the hook where I am concerned. And then get back to me, and tell me what came of it, if anything.

Seth: Consider it done.

Nikki: Thank you.

Seth: If you’re right about this, it’s despicable, and– she played me, and… I might have put you in even more danger.

Nikki: No, no. To the contrary. You may have just given me the upper hand.

[Coughing]

Nina: Okay, good. I’m glad you’re gonna take this first step. You just back away.

Christine: You’re right. I don’t like who I am in this situation. It’s time to end the cycle.

Nina: I agree. Do it.

Christine: Yep. Ah, voicemail.

Nina: It’s okay.

[ Inhales deeply ] Deep breath.

[ Christine sighs ]

Christine: Danny, hi. It’s me, I need to talk to you. Can we meet for drinks or dinner tonight? It’s important.

Danny: You want me to–

Phyllis: Cook for me. As a going-away present, even though you’re the one who’s leaving.

Danny: Tonight?

Phyllis: Yeah. Tonight. There’s plenty of time. We’ll just plan it out. And I want you to make the sauce. Your sauce. With pasta. I mean, christine got it. It’s only fair that I get to taste it too.

Danny: Okay, first of all, I’m not gonna rent an entire restaurant to make you a meal. I’m sorry.

Phyllis: Don’t worry about it, don’t worry about it. I’ll make the arrangements. You just give me a shopping list. I’ll get everything. And all you have to do is… cook, that’s it. Say goodbye. For now. To an old friend.

[ Danny chuckles ]

Jordan: Seth.

Seth: I was hoping I’d find you here. What aren’t you telling me? What are you trying to pull with nikki?

Victoria: Yeah, she played the piano, and, uh–

[ Both laughing ]

Claire: That’s so nice.

Nikki: Hello, claire.

Claire: Nikki, hi. It’s so good to see you.

Nikki: It’s good to see you too.

Claire: I hope you weren’t too startled that I’m actually here.

Nikki: Oh, no, no. I’ve been expecting you. Welcome to your new home.

Claire: Thank you.

Nikki: I’m sorry I wasn’t here to welcome you when you arrived.

Victoria: Dad explained that you went to the office. That must have felt really good.

Nikki: Ah, it’s wonderful to be out and about again.

Claire: Victoria’s been showing me around the ranch, helping me get settled.

Nikki: And how are you finding things?

Claire: I’ll probably get lost three times a day at first, but the ranch is amazing.

Nikki: I hope you’ll be very happy here.

Claire: I think I will be, eventually. But right now, I have jordan weighing on me. Wondering how victor’s plan to catch her is gonna unfold.

Nikki: Well, we may not have to wait much longer.

Victor: Well, hi, sweetheart. You’re home already.

Nikki: Hi.

Victor: So, how are you doing?

Nikki: I’m fine.

Victor: Good.

Victoria: What’s the latest?

Victor: Well, it seems pieces are falling into place. Now we need to release some more information to rile up jordan. That way we know she’ll contact you.

Cole: And it shouldn’t take much, a suspected arsonist and murderer on the run from the law. By now, she has, uh– she’s got to have a hair trigger.

Victor: Now, darling, I’m gonna give you this telephone. And per the judge’s ruling, this phone is monitored.

Claire: Okay. Thank you. How will jordan know to call me on this?

Nikki: I may have a way for you to contact her. And if I’m right, your aunt has already made her first mistake.

Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless…

Chance: What do you think I’m in the mood for?

Summer: I’m hoping it’s the same thing I am.

Hilary: Wow, this must be the famous mamie johnson. It is an honor to finally meet you.

Christine: So just like that, you’re– you’re leaving? Are you really ready to give up on us?

Seth: We will go outside. And we can call nikki together.

Jordan: Go on. Make the call. I’m looking forward to the reunion.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

okay, I got all the balloons set up in the foyer. Great. Wow. When you throw a party, you go all-out, don’t you? What? Do you think it’s too much? No. Scout’s gonna love it. Well, I don’t mean just the balloons. I mean, you know, all of it. It’s not like you have a 100-foot bouncy house outside with ponies walking around. Well, we do have two horses and an alpaca. Because they live here in the stable where they belong. And, hey, you want scout to feel at home on her birthday, and this is your home. Okay, great. I guess I just missed out on so much time with her, I — any chance I get, holidays, birthdays… tuesdays. [ Laughs ] …I just want to hold on with both hands and never let go. Great. You should do that. You should hold onto that. You should stay present with your daughter. You can’t do that if you’re focused on revenge, you know? I didn’t even mention nina’s name. You didn’t have to. I could hear you thinking about it. Okay. All right. Well, hey, thank you for snapping me out of it, making me focus on what’s important.

[ Sam laughs ] Dad, I can’t believe it. There are so many balloons by the front door. They’re all for you! Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Hey, mom. Thank you for coming by on zero notice. I have a ton of work to do for deception tonight. Well, you know that I would move heaven and earth to spend time with my grandchildren. But as thrilled as I am to be here, I have to ask, why isn’t spinelli available? Because I sent him packing. Chase. Hey, what do you got? I just talked to the officer on duty. Assault and battery. The victim was brought here for treatment. I tried to question him just to see what was going on, but the guy’s not talking. No I.D., Didn’t even give us his name.

[ Telephone rings in distance ] Well, I know who that is. That’s selina wu’s bodyguard. Everything ready? All right, keep me posted. Thanks. Something you want to ask me? Go ahead. Really? You haven’t exactly been forthcoming of late. You didn’t say anything to me yesterday after your talk with nina. Well, I’m sure nina’s going to tell you all about it. But if you want to ask me directly…? Agent cates, please come in. What can I do for you? I want sonny corinthos out of my life. For good. And you’re going to help me.


Where’s the guest of honor? I’m right here, grandma. Hello, cookie. Happy birthday. Are all those presents for me? And there’s more in the car. Thank you, grandma. You’re welcome. I can’t take all the credit, though, ’cause some of them are from tj and molly. Where are aunt molly and uncle tj? They both have very mean bosses that wouldn’t let them off of work. Hey, danny, jake, why don’t you get the rest of the presents out of the car, will you? You want to grab that? I’ll take these. Thank you. Want that one? Cool. Come on, danny. Danny: On it. Okay. And then, yeah, I’ll put these with the rest of the presents. Alexis: Let’s go. Yeah. Come on.Carly: Hi. So, where’s dante? Oh, um, he couldn’t get off of work yet, but I think he’s going to try and make it by later. Okay. Anyway, since — since it’s just you and me now… mm? I wanted to let you know — I don’t know, but it seems like drew’s a little bit more relaxed. You think so? Yeah. Mm. Yeah, I mean, we talked before. He had a really hard time coming out of pentonville after everything that happened there. But, yeah, I-I really think he’s, um, slowly but definitely moving past it. That’s good. Dante: What’s he saying? All right. Someone called 911 to report a disturbance on the pier. When the officers arrived at the scene, they interrupted a fight between two guys. One, mr. Li, had been badly beaten, and the attacker appeared to be going in for the kill when the officers identified themselves as the police. The attacker then fled on foot. Luckily, they apprehended him, and he’s in lockup now. Oh, so they I.D.’D the attacker? Well, that’s where things get interesting. Li’s assailant is another one of selina wu’s guys. Goes by morris. Wow. Then this wasn’t random. Infighting in selina wu’s organization. What does that mean? I think it means everything’s about to get much more dangerous. Anna: Agent cates, I wonder if you would like to take a look around. And you might notice, then, that this is the office of the port charles commissioner of police. Okay — and then you might come to the conclusion that the individual occupying said office is, in fact, the port charles police commissioner. And you would be right. And who doesn’t love to be right? Obviously, the port charles commissioner of police likes it a lot. Oh, she likes it a lot. In fact, it’s one of her favorite pastimes. So, do we need to have a discussion about the meaning of jurisdiction, like, over a nice cup of tea or something? Or is there some other way that I might assist you? I apologize. I accept. I had a bear of a day, and I shouldn’t have taken it out on you. But you did. And it does seem to be a bit of a pattern. It is? Yeah. You barged in on my operation at pentonville and tried to shut it down. I had a legitimate reason to request you leave my witness alone. You didn’t request. That was a demand. And you accused me of obstructing my own investigation. Oh, I-I shouldn’t have questioned your integrity. I’m sorry. Uh, I was not expecting you to apologize. Like ever. I didn’t expect you to apologize. So it’s a banner day for both of us. Look. You’ve always been good friends with robin, and I respect that friendship. So there’s really no reason for us to be at odds with each other like this. Oh, I can think of one reason. But our difference of opinion over sonny aside, I do respect you. And I — oh. [ Chuckles ] I want to say thank you. For what? For talking me down when I barged in here acting like I owned the place, and for at least trying to defuse the tension between us. I want us to be able to work together. I want that, too. Why don’t we make it happen? What goes on between you and nina is your business. I just want you to know that my friendship with her doesn’t mean that I’m choosing sides, you know? I’m — I’m staying out of it. Wise decision.

[ Knock on door ] ‘Cause you know nothing’s more important right now than dante. Not nina. All right, well, I’ll be sure to tell her that. Come on in, spinelli. Oh, thank you. When, uh — when you summon me, I, uh… I assume you must be finally taking me up on my offer to instruct you in the ways of dungeons and dragons. No, you can talk — you can talk in front of ava. As you wish. All systems are go for tonight. “All systems,” huh? What’s happening tonight? Tonight, I am bringing my enemy down to his knees. I mean, can you believe spinelli? He knows everything that happened with austin and peter, and yet he still lied to me so easily. Uh, it sounds like his heart was in the right place — oh, his heart had nothing to do with it. This? This was his savior complex. Can you imagine anything more insulting? Uh, yeah — yes, okay, for sure. But he still lied. And I know I’ve told my fair share of fibs in the past, but I just — I can’t believe spinelli would manipulate me this way! That’s not what happened. What’s not what happened? It wasn’t spinelli’s idea to move in with you and help you with your finances. It was mine.


Willow: Hey. Hey. Wait, weren’t there more children at this party? Where’s my daughter? Uh, scout wanted to see the horses and the alpacas. So wiley and leo are, in leo’s words, co-hosting a tour of the stables. Okay, but cody’s there, right? Yeah. Okay. Perfect. And you and jake finished bringing in your grandmother’s presents? Turns out it was a one-man job, so anything else I can do? No, I think everything else is under control. Just go have fun. Cool. I, uh, left my coat down in the stables. I’ll be back. He leaves that coat everywhere. Hi, auntie. Hi! H-hi. I — h-hello. Hi, danny. You remembered my name. Of course I did.

[ Both chuckle ] Sam: Krissy! Kristina: Hi, sis. Hi. Mwah. Hey. Hi. Hi. Hello. So, I think most of you know blaze. My girlfriend. Yes. Of course. Blaze. It’s good to see you again. Oh. Great to see you. Willow. I think we met, though, at rice plaza. I remember. Nice to meet you again. Okay. Oh, good. I am glad that we have some time alone, because I want to talk to you about something. Great. What’s up? I understand this is a touchy subject, but I — I’m sure you heard that nina is now the publisher of the invader. I did hear that. How’s that going? Yeah, I have reservations. Many. She said that she was fired from crimson for personal reasons. Is that true? If you’re asking if this has anything to do with nina turning carly and me in to the sec — that’s exactly what I’m asking. Well, then the answer is yes. She was not acting as a concerned citizen trying to right a wrong. Her motivation was strictly vindictive. And if she can exploit federal law to her own ends, then should she really be running a major magazine? And as the owner of aurora, I just… felt like I couldn’t trust her judgment anymore. That sounds like something you’d say in a press release or in a court of law. Tell me what you really think. You and me, one on one? Mm-hmm. Someone as reckless and as self-absorbed as nina is capable of anything. If I were you, alexis, I would watch my back. Hmm. So it was your idea. All right. Explain. I knew that you were in financial trouble and that you wouldn’t take my help, even though you clearly needed it, and I had the means. Except you don’T. You kept dipping into your savings. Those were the means. But I couldn’t pay you back, because I’m a bad investment. That’s why I called spinelli. I knew you wouldn’t accept charity from anybody, so I had to get creative. Spinelli was helping me help you. Mom, you should have respected my boundaries. It was important to me that I be the one to fix my finances. I-I understand that, but I’m your mother. And I couldn’t just sit back and watch while you were struggling, maxie. Okay. Okay? Okay? What? Okay, I get that. I absolutely do not approve of your methods, but if I could see that my kids needed help, I am capable of doing much crazier things whether they would want me to or not. Yeah, no, I wouldn’t care. I would just do it. Then you forgive me? Absolutely. And spinelli. No way. What? Why? I mean, not that I’m complaining, but why are you so much angrier with spinelli than you are with me? Especially since it was my idea. Because, mom, spinelli is not my parent, and he doesn’t have the right to conspire with my mother to fix my finances. M-maybe not, but — no, no “maybe” about it. No, no, no, spinelli is family. He is the father of your oldest daughter and my oldest grandchild. And you know he would do anything for you. Except respect my autonomy. Because I told him to! Listen, maxie, you know you would do the same thing if the positions were reversed. That is precisely the problem. What, that you each care enough about each other to do anything for each other? No, that is not the problem. It’s because — because I — what? Because I fell in love with him again, mom! Spending all this time with him? Having him live in my house? It was — it was all under false pretenses. You and spinelli didn’t just meddle with my finances. You meddled with my heart. So whoever is targeting mr. Corinthos, sir — ow — uh, is expecting him to be holding a summit, building bridges, as it were, leaving them with an opportunity to take out both parties at once. Meanwhile, I’ll be monitoring the situation with cameras set up throughout the warehouse. Are you sure that’s selina’s guy, he did as you asked? Because li has betrayed her before. Yeah, uh, we made sure that li’s carrying out the orders. Good. Question. Go ahead. Isn’t it highly unlikely that this enemy is going to show up there himself? I mean, won’t he, too, be monitoring from a safe distance, letting his hired guns do the job for him? I’m counting on it. This assault on li sounds like a botched execution attempt, which means it relates to the fbi’s investigation that cates is running. Yeah, but only li can confirm that. Well, then let’s hope he’s able. And willing.


So, the presents are arranged. The kids are back from the stables. They’re mad at me — oh. H-hi. Hi. Uh, you’re, uh — jake, this is blaze, my girlfriend. Blaze, this is danny’s brother. Ah. Nice meeting you. Nice meeting you, too. Um, I-I’m, uh — jake. Could you track down danny and, uh, let him know it’s time for cake? He said he left his coat outside somewhere. Okay. Yeah. I, uh — yeah. 3, 2, 1.

[ Quiet chuckling ]

[ Carly laughing ]

[ Chuckles ] Drew. Hey. I was going to send out a search party for you. Oh. I was just making sure everything, uh, was — yeah. You okay? Yeah. Yeah, I thought I-I misplaced the pin the tail on the donkey, but I, uh — oh. I got them. There you go. Crisis averted. Yep. Hey, um, I was going to ask if you could do a favor for me. You can ask me anything. Always. I hope you know that. Well, nowadays, I’m not — I’m not sure about that. I mean, you’ve been having a pretty rough time ever since — yeah, it hasn’t exactly been, um, sunshine and rainbows. Is it ever? But I’m trying to focus more on the silver lining than the clouds, so… good. I’m glad to hear that. So, what did you want to ask me? Danny. He’s been having… uh, a really tough time lately. And I know it’s more than just, um, teenage boy stuff. It’s stuff — more than that? Yeah. And I guess what I wanted to say was, is there any way that you could talk to him? He trusts you, and I know he would confide in you. And I don’t think he would talk to me about anything like that. Y– I would be happy to. Are you kidding me? I’ll spend some time with him. Maybe I’ll — maybe I’ll take him to a game or something.

[ Sighs ] Okay. That sounds good. But are you sure you’re up for it? I-I don’t want to put too much on your plate. No. Look, I’m learning that it — it really helps focusing on somebody that means more to me than myself. So I’d be really happy to do that. You can count on me. Thank you. Okay. I appreciate it. Absolutely. Danny? Danny, you here? They’re going to cut the cake. Find your jacket? Yeah, I-I put in the car. It’s fine. You okay? Yeah, it’s — it’s just, it’s a kid’s party. Yeah, well, it’s cake time, so it’s, um —

[ Sniffs ] You smell something? Mm, no. It’s probably just the lake. Come on. No, no, it’s not that. It’s, um —

[ Sniffs ] It’s really, uh — it’s really sweet.

[ Sighs ] Despite our differences of opinion, I do understand your feelings toward sonny. With all due respect, I don’t think you do. Sonny corinthos is now the head of one of the most powerful organized crime syndicates on the east coast, so forgive me if I don’t buy into the narrative that underneath it all, he’s a really good guy. I wouldn’t say that he’s one of the good guys. I wouldn’t say that. But I also don’t think that you’ve taken his full measure. Meaning? Well, meaning that he’s not a saint, but he’s not a sadist who wants to destroy and torment people for sport. I just had a conversation with him that would suggest otherwise. Oh, is that why you came barging in here, demanding I get him out of your life? You’re good. Anybody ever tell you you should be a cop? Too often. All I’m saying is that perhaps you have issue with the man sonny used to be, rather than the man he is now. Mr. Li, I’m detective falconeri. This is detective chase. Can you tell us what happened to you tonight? Someone tried to kill me. Not just someone. One of your colleagues from selina wu’s organization.

[ Monitor beeping ] So I’m guessing, uh, this wasn’t the result of an argument gone bad? Right? Mr. Morris, we have in custody. He was following orders, right? I don’t talk to cops. Okay. Mr. Li, your boss wants you dead. Yeah. I mean, you walk out of here, you probably got days — hell, man, even hours to live, I’d say. Death comes to us all. Yeah, I-it does, but judging by how you look, I’m guessing you fought like hell to stay alive. So I’m not really buying your zen on dying thing you’re trying to sell us. How about this? We put in a call to the D.A. We make sure you’re protected.

[ Chuckles ] How comforting.

[ Chuckles ] You know what? You’re right. Talking to us is probably just going to buy you some time. A day, maybe another, maybe another after that, I don’t know. But keeping your mouth shut? I’m willing to bet you end up in an unmarked grave by the morning. So you tell me. What’s it gonna be? Sonny: I wish whoever’s targeting me would get in my face, but I know they’re too scared. So what’s the end game here? Somebody will be sent to eliminate me and selina. We’re going to grab them, and we’re going to, uh, let them take us to whoever’s behind the shooting, and this thing is going to end. When do we leave? We’re not going anywhere. Yes, we are. Spinelli? Hmm? Can you do me a favor? I think we’re done. I’ll keep you posted. Eagerly await your communication.

[ Door opens, shuts ] Okay, I appreciate what you’re doing. But you’re not part of this. Ava: On the contrary. If this plan of yours is going to work… …you need me.


Oh, maxie, I am so sorry. It — it never occurred to me that this would happen this way. I never thought spinelli would lie to me like this. It — it isn’t really like that. It’s not like we set out to deceive you. Hmm. Were spinelli’s pipes actually broken? Uh, yes, so we did set out to deceive you. But if we offered you the money, you would have just said no again. At least it would have been my decision. Yes, and it would have been a bad one. Mom! The point is, spinelli and i were in a lose-lose situation. And since there was no good decision to make, we made the least bad decision to help you. Deceiving you like that… helping you with your finances while providing free babysitting was all an act of love, on both our parts. I know that. And — and I know that spinelli would never lie to me out of malice. That is not my main problem. Then what is? The thing that’s bugging me the most is… I couldn’t tell spinelli was keeping something from me. Well, I can understand why that would be troubling for you. But it’s not like what happened with peter. Way to sugarcoat it, mom. But — well, no, I’m just saying that spinelli never lied to you about his mafia connections. No, I’ve always known about those. Well, he never tried to steal your baby or isolate you in a forest cabin in europe — okay, I get where you’re going with this, but that is a very low bar to clear. It’s just, aside from you and mac, spinelli… he’s always been the person that I can count on the most. Doesn’t this prove that he still is? Maybe it proves that acting on my feelings for spinelli was a huge mistake. This yours? No, what is it? It’s garbage now. So you’re just gonna throw it out? Can’t leave it lying around. O-okay, fine. It’s — it’s mine. You’re vaping? What do you even care? I don’t know. Maybe I don’t want my brother to get popcorn lungs. Will you calm down? It’s not like I’m really smoking. We can have this conversation later. Or not. Right now, we’re going back to the house and celebrate your sister’s birthday with your whole family there. Or are you trying to get caught? Why? You gonna rat me out? You know, recently, I-I’ve got to know sonny as a person. And he’s always been a very good friend to my daughter robin.

[ Sighs ] Anna, come on. Just the same way that he was a very good friend to your brother stone. A lot of good peoplesee the best in bad people. He’s done a lot of positive things for this community. Are you talking about the hospital wing that he bought in my brother’s memory? You do know that crime lords use philanthropy as a way of laundering money. My point is… while I wouldn’t hesitate to arrest him if I had evidence of a crime, I still don’t believe he should be reduced to just that. Because if you hope to take him down one day, you can’t just focus on his crimes and flaws, which admittedly are many. You have to take into account the good things, as well. ‘Cause if you just let yourself be blinded by prejudice, you will miss the opportunity to apprehend him when it finally presents itself. If you’re going to sell this mediation, you’re going to need a third party to arbitrate. I mean, that’s the play, isn’t it? Which means you need a rep from a third family. What are you going to do, sonny? You going to call what’s left of the novaks? The buscemas? You can’t trust them. I happen to be a former memberof the jerome family. My presence could help sell this thing. You’re not wrong. You and selina are the bait, but I could be what convinces your enemy that this meeting is legit and draws them out. Plus, if we’re being honest…

[ Chuckles ] I can’t wait to hear this one. Your circle of trust has gotten pretty small, sonny. It’s so small that I’m in the center of it. You don’t have to do this alone. Don’t do this alone. Let me help you.


Spinelli and I have been down this road before, and it did not work out. A long time ago. Yeah, but don’t you think that proves that it maybe never will? How? Mom [Chuckles] Spinelli and i literally admitted to each other how we felt, and then instantly, everything fell apart. Okay, sweetheart, I want you to listen to me and really take this to heart, okay? I’ll try. You may think that when spinelli moved in, that was what caused you to fall in love with him. But the truth is, you’ve always had a connection. Not just as friends, not just as co-parents. But you’ve always been a little in love with each other, even when you were with other people. How do you know that for sure? I have seen the bond between you and spinelli. Really? Everybody’s seen it. Nathan saw it. Ellie saw it. Mac is still annoyed by it. And spinelli, now he sees it. The only person that says they haven’t seen it is you. I think it’s time for you to get honest about what you’re afraid of. I don’t know what I would do if spinelli and i tried to be together, and I lost him for good. I can understand why you would be afraid of that, given all the loss that you’ve had to endure. Putting our hearts on the line is really scary. It’s not just my heart, though. Georgie would be devastated if spinelli and i didn’t work out. And bailey lou and james, they’re both crazy about spinelli. You’re right. There is a lot at stake here. I can’t tell you what decision to make. Since when? I can tell you that you’re a survivor. You have endured so much and come out of it stronger each time. I’m just… tired. How many growth experiences should one person have? Yeah. Well, what you have to know is if things don’t work out with spinelli, then you’ll survive that, too. Or you could get back together again, older and wiser than the two of you have ever been, and stumble into some happiness that you never dreamed that was possible. It’s up to you to decide if it’s worth the risk. Okay?

[ Chuckles ] Don’t worry. I’m not going to tell anyone. This is your business. Thanks. What the hell? Give it back. Yeah, not gonna happen. I may not be a snitch, but I’m not going to let you do this. I’m not messing around, jake. Give it back. Or what? Or I’ll take it from you. Really? This is that important to you that you’d try to forcibly take it from me? Oh, I wouldn’t just try. Who the hell are you to try to tell me what to do anyway? Give it back! Get off me, danny! You crazy?! Willow: Jake? Danny? I thought I heard shouting. What’s going on?

[ Both panting ] We were just messing around. Pretty much. We’re taking a family photo. Come on.

[ Quietly ] My vape? Hey, mom. Yeah. I wanted to tell you this sooner, but I didn’t — I didn’t have a chance. What? Something wrong? So, I talked to dante, and he told me that he thinks there’s a link between whosever targeting dad and olivia jerome’s death. Yeah, I know. You know how? Because I had a conversation with special agent john cates of the fbi. Do you know him? Uh, coincidentally, we, uh, just met. You just met? Okay. Is there more to that story? No, just — just that I’m worried about dad, that’s all. I know. Me, too. I don’t know what to do about it. Do you have any ideas? So, I told josslyn to bring dex back to town. What? Why would you do that? Why would you do that to dex? He’s a grown man. He can decide whether or not he wants to come back. Michael, if something happens to dex, your sister is going to be devastated. Look, I-I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. But I don’t — I don’t — mom, I don’t think it will. Really? No. How do you think sonny is going to react? He was furious when he found out you hired dex to spy on him. Now you’re going behind his back again. If he’s angry, he’s angry. I’m going to help my father whether he likes it or not. What’s going on with dad? Why does he need help? So o’neill says we’re looking for a dead man, at least someone who’s dead on paper. Mm, according to cyrus, but his trustworthiness is questionable at best. Plus, the mic dropped out right as he acquired that piece of intel. Maybe there’s a way to corroborate his story. Any ideas?

[ Knock on door ] Yeah? Come in. Hey. Sorry to interrupt. It’s important. Is this is about my case? You mean our case? Yeah, it is. What have you got? Sonny and selina wu are making moves.

[ Door opens ] Everything is in place at our end for tonight? Yes. And mr. Corinthos’ associate assured me it’s all taken care of. But… but what? The associate. He seems…odd. Mr. Spinelli is certainly unique, but very good at what he does. Mm?

[ Door opens ] Mr. Corinthos. Ms. Jerome, what a surprise. I wasn’t expecting you. Ms. Wu. I hope you don’t mind me joining you at the last minute. Actually, I do. This wasn’t part of our plan. Plans change. We can trust ava.


[ Phone line ringing ]

[ Beep ] Spinelli: Greetings. You’ve

reached damian spinelli.

Please leave a message,

and I will return

your call posthaste. Hey. It’s me. Call me.

[ Cellphone beeps ] Uh, no, just — just that I-I haven’t — I haven’t talked to dad in a while. Have you? Not a whole lot, no. I’ve been, uh, busy. Why? What’s going on? Is there something happening I should know about? We’re just wondering how things are going with you and blaze. Uh, things are good. Yeah. It’s still new, so… anyway, I’ve been asked to summon you guys for cake and photos. Oh, yeah, I got to get in there. All right. Hey, um, are you sure everything’s okay with dad? Yeah, yeah, hey, he’ll be fine. Okay. Yeah. I’ll make sure of it. Sonny and selina coerced her bodyguard li to leak to his source that they were meeting up tonight. Presenting a prime opportunity for li’s boss to take wu and corinthos out. Okay, so they’re setting up a trap to smoke out our assassin. Which is exactly what I didn’t want to happen. I knew if we let corinthos in on what was going on, he would go vigilante and take our suspect out. Okay, we can’t allow him to take the law into his own hands. Whatever corinthos and wu are planning, we got to stop them. Well, let’s go. I congratulate you on the trust you’ve established with ms. Jerome, who is, let’s not forget, the mother of one of your children. What does that mean? Well, you have incentive to trust her. I don’T. Ava acting as a mediator makes the meeting look more legit. Her presence further destabilizes an already volatile situation. That’s not a risk I want to take. It’s already in motion. Let it play out. At the risk of all of our lives? We’re all targets at this point. Here’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to let our enemies come get us.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Days of Our Lives Update

 

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Stefan goes home to the DiMera Mansion, angrily complaining about Harris waking up and nothing going right. Stefan then gets a call from Clyde.

Steve brings Ava home as she complains about wishing she could wake up from this nightmare and have Tripp and Wendy home and that Harris would be fine. Steve says unfortunately this is happening, so they need to stay focused. Steve asks if she called Wendy’s parents yet. Ava says she’s not ready to yet but Steve says they need to know what’s going on and asks if they should do it together. Ava questions what they are supposed to say. Ava then gets an alert on her phone.

Tripp and Wendy remain locked up. They talk about Ava getting the video that they recorded, so at least she will know they are alive.

Sloan goes home with a box and calls out to Eric for help but is shocked by what she sees when she comes in.

Chanel joins Abe in Paulina’s hospital room and asks how Paulina is doing. Abe says she’s taking a nap but Paulina says she was just resting her eyes. Chanel asks how she’s doing. Paulina says she’s fine now that she’s there along with Abe. Chanel tells her that she knows something that will make her feel much better. Chanel then opens the door and brings in Lani and Eli. Lani and Paulina embrace as they reunite while Eli hugs Abe. Paulina can’t believe Lani is really there. Lani tells her that she’s so happy to see her as Lani hugs Abe. Abe comments on the timing of Lani getting released now and calls it great news, saying it’s perfect for all of them. Eli tells Paulina that she looks beautiful as always. Paulina asks where their twins are. Eli says they are with Doug and Julie after a long day of travel. Lani tells Chanel that she heard they missed the wedding of the year. Paulina calls it simple and perfect. Lani asks where Johnny is. Chanel says he went to grab snacks but he’ll be back soon as he has been with them through all of it. Paulina says first it was her surgery, then it was her heart going south on her. Paulina guesses Lani heard about that which she confirms. Paulina states that her heart may be failing, but right now it’s so full to have her two daughters with her.

Sloan is shocked to see the apartment decorated with candles, rose petals in a heart shape on the bed and a bottle of champagne on ice. Eric comes out from the back and asks what she thinks as he wishes her a Happy Valentine’s Day, informing her that this is the emergency he had her rush home for. Sloan calls it beautiful and romantic. Eric declares that the decorations are just the beginning as he has very big plans for their special day.

Wendy asks Tripp what to do now. Tripp says he’s taking her to dinner which Wendy calls illogical in their circumstances. Tripp suggests they go to dinner in Paris.

Stefan tells Clyde that he wasn’t expecting to hear from him today. Clyde asks even with the recent turn of events. Stefan says he’s in the middle of a crisis at the restaurant so he needs to get back on the floor but Clyde reveals that he knows Stefan isn’t at work, but he’s at home in his fancy mansion. Stefan questions how the hell and looks around outside. Clyde tells him that he will never see his people. Stefan tells Clyde that he has a lot to focus on right now. Clyde warns Stefan that he should be focusing on his biggest problem, Harris Michaels being awake.

Ava receives the video on her phone so her and Steve watch Tripp reading the statement he was given which is warning Ava not to talk to any law enforcement and to do as she’s told when contacted. Tripp reads that if Ava follows these instructions, he and Wendy can come home but if she doesn’t, she’ll never see them again. Ava asks Steve what to do and worries about being watched. Steve says it could be an empty threat to keep her in line. Ava argues that Clyde doesn’t make empty threats, only promises. Ava points out how exhausted and scared Tripp and Wendy looked, wondering where the hell they are.

Wendy asks Tripp how they make dinner in Paris happen without actually flying there. Tripp reaches in to the big that Officer Goldman left them, revealing they have a bottle of water, protein bars, and chocolate kisses, so he sets up a makeshift dinner setting for them.

Paulina asks when Eli and Lani got in to town. Eli says it was earlier today. Lani says they dropped off their luggage and the kids so they could get here as soon as possible. Paulina says she appreciates that and has difficulty breathing. Abe encourages Paulina to take it easy. Abe sends Chanel to take Eli and Lani to get ice for Paulina. Paulina tells Abe that he didn’t have to send them out of the room because he sensed it was too much excitement for her. Abe says he just thought she might need a little break from company and he wanted them to talk for a moment, just the two of them.

Eric pours champagne for he and Sloan, informing her that he got her assistant to clear her schedule for the day. Sloan asks if Jude is sleeping. Eric reveals that he’s not there as Marlena is on grand babysitting duties, so they have the place to themselves. Eric says he just wanted to give Sloan a proper Valentine’s Day since he felt bad for falling asleep on her. Sloan calls it the perfect Valentine’s Day do-over and she’s grateful that he did it for her. Eric acknowledges that she’s been working a lot and she’s a new mom, so he knows how tough it can be and he wanted to make sure she knows how important she is to him. They wish each other a Happy Valentine’s Day and kiss.

Stefan tells Clyde that he’s well aware that Harris woke up as he was at the hospital when it happened, but Harris doesn’t remember who shot him so he’s in the clear. Clyde laughs off Stefan thinking he’s off the hook with him because Harris doesn’t remember. Stefan asks why it wouldn’t. Clyde reminds Stefan that he told him in no uncertain terms to finish the job. Clyde warns Stefan that unless he wants to disappoint him further, he’s going to finish the job today. Stefan assures that he didn’t forget what he said, but he can’t just walk in to the hospital and shoot Harris. Clyde argues that he doesn’t have a choice. Stefan complains that Clyde knows that Harris is under surveillance 24/7 so he’s untouchable as long as he’s in the hospital. Stefan asks how he’s supposed to kill him. Clyde reveals that he’s already taken care of that and he’s pretty sure that even Stefan can’t screw it up.

Tripp has Wendy close her eyes and imagine them being at a café in Paris.

Paulina tells Abe that she feels so lucky to have her daughters with her along with Abe. Abe responds that they are the lucky ones. Paulina knows Abe is dealing with his own issues, yet in spite of all that, he’s still here for all of them, day and night. Paulina doesn’t know how he does it. Abe says his secret is love. Abe tells Paulina that he loves her and that’s what motivates him. Abe calls their family the most important thing in his life and says she is the most important person in his life as he kisses her.

Chanel tells Eli and Lani that Paulina was so happy to see them both and that they came at exactly the right time, when they needed them the most. Lani says they need Chanel too. Chanel says it’s been tough but Paulina is brave. Eli asks how serious Paulina’s heart attack was. Chanel reveals that it was bad enough that Paulina might need a heart transplant. Chanel says it’s not definite yet, but Kayla says it’s a possibility. Lani says they will deal with that when they know more. Lani questions Chanel getting married in the middle of all of this. Chanel explains that Paulina was feeling down about the wedding possibly being postponed because of her surgery being moved up, so Johnny came up with the idea of just getting married here. Lani is sure Paulina was thrilled. Chanel confirms that she was so excited and that Abe officiated. Eli asks how Chanel is doing. Chanel says she’s doing okay and trying to be brave and stoic like Paulina is. Chanel adds that she’s really grateful Eli and Lani are there. Chanel knows their twins can’t see Paulina right now, but knowing they are close by will lift her spirits. Eli asks if there’s anything they can do now. Chanel says just being there. Lani offers to take turns sitting with Paulina if Chanel and Abe want to come home to shower. Chanel admits that will be super helpful and suggests just keeping positive energy. Lani decides that’s what they will do as a family and says they will get through this as they hug.

Sloan can’t believe how quickly Eric pulled everything together. Eric says he has his ways and he just wanted her to know how much she means to him and how much he loves her and their family. Sloan says she loves him too as they kiss, calling him the best thing that’s ever happened to her along with their son. They kiss on the couch until Eric gets up and presents her with a gift bag, saying he thinks he’s ready for a Valentine’s present. Sloan tells him not to go anywhere as she goes to put it on. Sloan returns, wearing the red lingerie that he got for her and they kiss. Sloan then removes Eric’s shirt and belt as they kiss onto the bed.

Chanel returns to Paulina’s room with ice chips for her. Paulina asks where Lani and Eli are. Chanel says they are checking in on the twins with Julie. Abe decides to go get a cup of coffee and exits the room. Chanel talks to Paulina about Lani being back which Paulina calls a miracle. Paulina can’t wait to cook them all a big family dinner but Chanel says not to get ahead of herself as she needs to be feeling better before that. Eli comes back in and jokes that if anyone’s cooking a dinner, it will be him as he’s been working on some recipes. Paulina tells Eli that just seeing him and Lani was so good for her soul. Paulina says having Chanel, Abe, and Johnny has been wonderful, but now it feels complete. Paulina says it already feels like her heart is getting stronger because it’s so filled with love.

Clyde informs Stefan that a package will be arriving shortly and inside, he’ll find a vial and syringe. Clye instructs him to inject the contents of the vial in to Harris’ IV bag and he will then suffer what will appear to be a fatal heart attack and that will be that. Stefan asks Clyde if they are square when this is done. Clyde says he’s smarter than that and orders him to just do the job and not screw it up as they then hang up.

Ava asks Steve if he’s found anything yet. Steve says he just needs to study the video more closely as there must be something to give them a clue as to where they took Tripp and Wendy. Steve says he will take it apart frame by frame.

Wendy and Tripp continue to imagine they are on a date in Paris as they kiss.

The doorbell rings at the DiMera Mansion so Stefan answers it to find the package which he then brings in to the living room and opens.

Eric and Sloan lay in bed after having sex. They wish each other a Happy belated Valentine’s Day. Sloan asks Eric to promise they don’t go this long again without some time for them. Eric thinks he can convince Marlena to do more babysitting. Sloan suggests some sleepover time too. Eric says it’s something they can work on and suggests focusing on them. They kiss until Eric’s phone rings, interrupting them and disappointing Sloan again.

Abe joins Lani at the coffee. Lani tells Abe that she’s so glad to have a moment alone with him and hugs him. Abe says he’s so happy to have her home. Lani cries that she’s really worried about Paulina. Abe says they all are, but she’s still strong and they are trying to be positive and optimistic. Lani asks how Abe is doing. Abe assumes she wants to know if he remembers his past, but he still doesn’t. Abe adds that one thing he does know is that he’s so lucky to be her father. Lani calls him the best father anyone could ask for. Abe says that means so much to him. Abe asks Lani where Eli is. Lani says he’s with Paulina to show her pictures of the babies. Abe asks if they are planning on staying in Salem for awhile. Lani confirms that’s the plan right now, but notes that Eli is being considered for a new job in DC that would be really great opportunity, though they both have mixed feelings about not being in Salem. Lani decides right now, she wants to focus on Paulina and being there for Abe and Chanel as they hug. Abe encourages her that Paulina is going to make it as she has to.

Eric says on the phone that this is the best news ever and asks if tomorrow would be too soon or if he can come by. Eric assures that he will be there. Eric says he’s so happy and will see them then. Eric then hangs up and tells Sloan that he’s so sorry but that was Nicole and that Holly is awake. Sloan calls that great news. Eric calls it a miracle while Sloan looks annoyed.

Stefan removes the vial and syringe from the box and declares that this is how it ends, neat, clean, and easy, then it will be curtains down for Harris Michaels.

Ava tells Steve that Tripp is the most important person in her life and she’s so proud of the man he has become. Ava calls Tripp a good person which he gets from Steve. Steve acknowledges that he gets a lot from her too including some of his strength. Ava wishes she felt strong now. Steve encourages that they will find their son and Wendy and bring them home.

Wendy tells Tripp that she’s trying so hard to be positive but they are still stuck in this tank. Wendy wonders if they will ever get out. Tripp assures that they will be found and rescued but they just have to be patient. Tripp tells Wendy that he loves her and can’t wait to take her to Paris for real which he promises to do as they hug.

Eli shows Paulina pictures of his kids. Lani and Abe return to the room. Paulina talks about treasuring the moments. Chanel encourages that they are all going to have a lot of time together. Abe adds that Lani is home and God will answer more of their prayers. Lani tells Paulina that they need her to stick around for a long time. Paulina says she loves them. Chanel and Lani then hug Paulina together.
