Interview with Titus Welliver of “Bosch: Legacy” on Prime Video by Suzanne 4/10/25

“Bosch” and “Bosch: Legacy” are wonderful shows that I’ve always loved. I read the books about Harry Bosch (by Michael Connelly) years ago and devoured them. They did an excellent job of transferring the stories from the books to the TV, and they couldn’t have done any better than Titus Welliver for playing Bosch. Everyone who’s connected to the show or watches it regularly is sad that the show is ending. It’s such a shame because there are more Bosch stories to tell.

This is a roundtable interview, which means there are 5 of us on the interview. We each had at least 2 questions for Titus, and he answered them in great detail. I’m very honored to have been included. He’s an amazing actor, and not just because of his work with “Bosch.” The series finale for “Bosch: Legacy” airs today. It’s two episodes that not only finish the series but introduce Maggie Q, who will star as Rene Ballard in the new spinoff series “Ballard.”

Unfortunately, Bosch will only make a couple of cameos in the new series. Please enjoy this video roundtable interview and the series finale!

Season Three of Bosch: Legacy is based on Michael Connelly’s best-selling novels Desert Star (2022) and The Black Ice (1993). The murder investigation of Kurt Dockweiler brings dangerous secrets to light and threatens to ruin the lives of our three principal characters. The disappearance of a family haunts Harry Bosch and forces him to confront the limits of justice. In a hotly contested race, Honey “Money” Chandler is poised to become the next District Attorney of Los Angeles. And Maddie Bosch gets entangled in a series of violent follow-home robberies.

Titus Welliver

Harry Bosch

Titus Welliver is a veteran of film, television, and theater. The son of a famous landscape artist Neil Welliver and fashion illustrator Norma Cripps, Welliver originally pursued painting at art school but eventually fell in love with acting and the theater. Welliver’s theater credits include David Mamet’s production of American Buffalo, as well as performances in Naked at the Coast Theater and Shakespeare’s Henry IV. Welliver has also appeared in Riff Raff, written and directed by Laurence Fishburne, which was performed at Circle in the Square Downtown in New York City.

Welliver has also enjoyed a successful collaboration with legendary television producer David Milch, appearing in several of Milch’s shows, including the critically acclaimed HBO episodic, Deadwood. Some fans will always connect Welliver with his portrayal of The Man in Black in the cult favorite ABC series Lost. Welliver also notably played the part of Glenn Childs, Julianne Marguiles’ foil in The Good Wife, and the very dangerous Jimmy O’Phelan in Sons of Anarchy. Welliver’s other television credits are too numerous to list but include Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Suits, The Last Ship, The Mentalist and Chicago PD.

Welliver may now be most identified by his iconic performance as Harry Bosch, the lead character in the hit Amazon Original series Bosch. The show is based on Michael Connelly’s immensely successful book series, currently numbering 21, soon to be 22 novels, about a relentlessly dogged Los Angeles homicide detective.

In addition to Bosch, Welliver has been in every one of actor/director Ben Affleck’s big-screen, directorial outings, including Gone Baby Gone, The Town, Live By Night and Argo. In addition, he has given extremely memorable performances in Michael Bay’s Transformers 4: Age of Existence and opposite Frances McDormand as her love interest in Gus Van Sant’s Promised Land. Welliver will next be seen in the reboot of the 1970’s action classic, Shaft, opposite Samuel L. Jackson.

Interview with Arielle Prepetit (Naomi) of “Beyond the Gates” on CBS by Suzanne 4/11/25

I had a fun chat with Arielle, who seems very sweet and full of joy. She plays Naomi on BTG, and she’s been great on the new series. It’s a soap, so there’s a lot of drama. Naomi is Dani and Bill’s daughter, and Bill cheated on her mom with her best friend, Hayley, and then he divorced her mom and married Hayley. She disowned her dad for that. Now Naomi is suing Bill’s law firm and his slimy partner for sexual harassment. She is a force to be reckoned with, and Arielle shows that strength and fire every day on the show. Arielle is also an amazing singer and dancer. Watch her on YouTube.

Watch “Beyond the Gates” Monday through Friday on CBS every week and later on Paramount+. Check your local listings to see when it airs. It usually airs sometime after “Bold and Beautiful.”

BEYOND THE GATES is set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington, D.C., and in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States. Here you’ll find a posh gated community with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions to call home. At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those who live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where our characters live, love, work and play. Those who have “made it” and those who haven’t are all trying to navigate life … and some with more grace than others.

Arielle Prepetit is a passionate dancer, actor and theater performer. She currently stars as Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne in BEYOND THE GATES.

Interview with Matt Borlenghi

TV Interview!

Matt Borlenghi of "Cobra Kai," on Netflix, "All My Children," on ABC, etc.

Interview with Matt Borlenghi of “Cobra Kai,” on Netflix, “All My Children,” on ABC, etc. by Suzanne 4/1/25

I really enjoyed speaking to Matt because I’ve been watching him on TV since 1990 when he joined “All My Children” as Brian Bodine. I usually act in a professional manner, but I’m afraid I geeked out quite a bit talking to him about various shows, especially soaps and “Cobra Kai.” He’s been a very busy actor for the past 35 years. He was super kind and let me do a very long interview. If you’re a fan of his, or the soaps, or his other series, you should enjoy this quite a lot. He told me many interesting things about working on AMC and Cobra Kai; how much he appreciated being included in the last season of Cobra Kai; why Kelly Ripa owes him ; why Sheila on “Bold and Beautiful” didn’t kill him (despite the rumors); and why he never played Valentin Cassadine on “General Hospital” as expected.

After a shocking result in the Sekai Taikai, Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai must reckon with their pasts while facing an uncertain future both on and off the mat. Almost 40 years after the events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament, it’s all been leading to this.

Matt Borlenghi first came to the attention of audiences on “All My Children”, starring opposite Kelly Ripa. While playing this role, he was nominated for a Daytime Emmy and won the Soap Opera Digest Award. Borlenghi then went on to star in several prime-time TV shows such as “The Jeff Foxworthy Show”, “Pig Sty”, “Party Girl”, “Police Academy: The Series”, and a pilot for a “Married with Children” spin-off titled “Enemies”, opposite Nicole Eggert. He has also been the recipient of five other awards, along with two nominations, for his various acting roles. Matt is also a multiple award-winning producer and has spent several years on the Matt Borlenghi at the final "Cobra Kai" screening in Atlanta (photo from his Instagram) development of TV shows with and for production companies and networks.

GROSSE POINTE GARDEN SOCIETY -- "Plant Parenthood" Episode 106 -- Pictured: Felix Wolfe as Ford -- (Photo by: Daniel Delgado/NBC)

Interview with Felix Wolfe of “Grosse Pointe Garden Society” on NBC by Suzanne 4/9/25

I really enjoyed speaking to Felix about his role as Ford on this fun show. He’s young, but he’s been working since he was 2 years old! Now, we’re only allowed to use the audio for this one, but I hope you can enjoy it, anyway. Near the end of our chat, I noticed that he had a large mannequin with a Robin suit (as in Batman and Robin!), so I had to ask him about that, too. You can see the photo below in the “video.” Don’t forget to watch the next episode of the series tonight! He has some juicy story in it.

Here’s the transcript, generated with Descript, but it hasn’t been fully proofread yet. I hope to do that soon.

Suzanne: How are you doing, Felix?

Felix: I’m wonderful. Suzanne, now that I’m with you, how are you?

Suzanne: Pretty good. Pretty good.

Felix: Good.

Suzanne: Suzanne: So, uh, I read on IMDB that you were born in San Diego. Did you grow up there too?

Felix: I, thanks for checking that out. That’s awesome. Uh, I did, I was born in San Diego. No, I, I really, all my fundamental years was, was la I moved to LA when I was like three.

Suzanne: Okay.

Felix: MFelix: y dad’s from la so, so it was like a. Cultural. It was an easy shift, but born and raised. SoCal? Yes, but not. ‘

Suzanne: okay. Well, I’m the opposite because I was born up in Northern California and grew up in San Diego, so that’s why I asked.

Oh, fantastic. Okay. Then you know how good the fish tacos are?

Suzanne: Oh yeah. Although actually they didn’t really have those back when I was growing up. Uh. It’s a more recent, like last 20, 30 years. I’m, I’m a lot older than I looked.

Felix: What you 23, 24?

Suzanne: Yeah. Right, exactly.

Felix: Yeah.

Suzanne: Yeah. Add about 40 years.

Felix: Good on you. You look fantastic.

Suzanne: Yeah. It’s funny. All the Mexican food, we didn’t have much Mexican food when I was growing up there. There weren’t like avocados everywhere, at least in my part of San Diego, but

Felix: Sure, sure. We, they shifted. They’re with us Up and up and up.

Suzanne: Yeah. So what’s it been like working on the show with Melissa Fumero and others?

Felix: I mean, it’s, it’s been fantastic. I mean, Melissa’s the a, a dream to work with. I don’t think it gets better than that. She’s just not only such a well-versed and extremely talented artist, that feels just so wonderful to get to, to play around with on screen. But, but, arguably in even more incredible human being and just such a wonderful, wonderful. I think personality to have on set. She makes everyone, you could just see it. She makes everyone feel so much better and smile and. She has this comforting warmth about her that I feel is so, nice, grateful to be around. So yeah, I feel very grateful. And obviously the rest of the cast is like, yeah.

Suzanne: But you worked with her more than, than anyone.

Felix: I did. Yeah. Yeah, I worked with her the most.

Suzanne: And you, uh, not to have any spoilers, but you have, in this upcoming episode, you have a very emotional scene with her. Was that, uh, challenging?

Felix: It was surprisingly easy, I think because we had spent so much time together and, and, and. Fo Foster. Such an honest, real, I think real life, uh, you know, kind of bond that I, I, I think it just, it translated so easily on screen it in so many ways. The words that I say in those scenes very much stem from a place of like imagining if I was really talking to just her and, um. You know? Yeah. How much I, I, I adore her. And so those sentiments, I think the emotions are stemming from a very real place and I think that makes it extremely easy just because she’s so wonderful.

Suzanne: Well, I’m sure her ears are burning. so your character’s been training to be a pitcher, and had you pitched or played baseball much before this?

Felix: Yeah, I grew up playing baseball. and it was something that when the writers found out, they were very excited about

Suzanne: Oh, good.

Felix: …Easily incorporated into the character. Yeah, I, I, I played baseball the way through high school and, uh, we were a pretty good team and I got to be captain and it was really fun. And Pitcher was one of the positions I, I primarily, primarily was shortstop and pitcher and, so pitching was, was something I grew up doing and, and

Suzanne: Oh, that’s nice.

Felix: It’s convenient. It worked out. It worked out.

Suzanne: Yeah. You didn’t have to work with somebody to look like you knew what you were doing or anything. You already did.

Felix: Yeah. Thank, thankfully, I was like, I don’t want to be on any of those, those edits. I please. So, no, that’s right. Tried my best. I don’t know how it turned out.

Suzanne: So you’re 23, but you’re playing a teen. Was that, uh, did that just come easily? ’cause you’ve been a teen or was, did you have to think about What was I like back then or,

Felix: Yeah. Uh, I mean, I. I mean, I’m, I’m 22 years old, but I feel very, I think I still feel very adolescent in so many ways. I think, I think I, I don’t feel understand people are disconnected from that. I wish I was like, oh, back then. But no, I think I’m in a lot of ways still very, very, rambunctious and, and very much, uh, but I think I’ve always just been a bit. Me, like, I don’t know. You know, I, I, even when I was little, I feel like the verse, whoever that kid was at, like eight years old, 17 years old now, 22, it’s kind of always been the same guy. Right? So same. Yeah.

Suzanne: So, but you’ve been in front of the camera since you were pretty young, right? Like five or six or something?

Felix: Uh, yeah. I, I booked my first part technically when I was two, and then I became. When I was six. and yeah, so I’ve been doing it a long, long time, that’s for sure. It’s been ingrained in my life.

Suzanne: That’s amazing.

Felix: Thank you.

Suzanne: I’m always surprised when I hear about some actor, actress that I’ve seen in the movies, and I go and I look at their, their history and go, oh my gosh, she’s been a child actor. Just like, I don’t know. It just always, it is like, why don’t I know that? It’s like I should all know that.

Felix: No, it’s, it’s, it’s totally understandable.

Suzanne: I’m always surprised if somebody does know that. I’m like, oh, wow.

Felix: Thanks.

Suzanne: So, anything, uh, that you can tell us about the, uh, upcoming episodes at all that you’re allowed to tell us?

Felix: Well, I’m very excited about it. I’ve heard great things, from, from people behind the curtain. They seem very excited about it. I remember when we shot it, it was, yeah, I think you kind of touched on it. It reaches some, some emotional places that I think are incredibly powerful. And I meant, I, when I first read it, and then obviously when we shot it, it meant so much for me as an actor to see that the, the creators and the writers were willing to let the character. go there. And I think let those, those relationships reach those kinds of places, for better or worse. So I, I, I’m extremely excited for fans to kind of see, the emotional depth that these characters will reach, especially forward. And I think it’s a big turning point. I think episode eight’s a, a big turning point for him, and, and I remember really enjoying,

Suzanne: And are you gonna, are you gonna have some emotional scenes with your, the foster parents as well?

Felix: Maybe who knows? Maybe can’t tell.

Suzanne: Okay. And, uh, do you have any other projects coming out or that you, or that you’re working on or anything you tell us about?

Felix: Nothing I can say right now. We, well, hopefully soon I can, but, but yeah, I’m, I’m, I will say this, I’m very excited for the future. I feel very honored. And this show is. It’s been wonderful to work on and, and, and, has introduced me to so many incredible new faces and new people. So I’m, I feel extremely fulfilled, uh, as an, as an artist and as a, as a human being. So, yeah, I’m, I’m excited to see what the rest of 2025,

Suzanne: yeah, I’m looking forward to it. I, I am just keeping my fingers crossed for season two. I don’t know if that’s a possibility or not, but. That’s your business. I know, but I’d like to think possibility.

Felix: If you believe in it. I believe in it.

Suzanne: Okay. Okay. Okay. Uh, I just wanna see some kind of closure for the characters if, if it doesn’t have a season two, and I don’t think I want to get that.

Felix: So maybe, I mean, I feel satisfied with, with the, the ending of season one, but that does not mean that I’m not exci incredibly eager for season two.

Suzanne: Right. Right, right. Well, it’s been a good dramatic show for you. You’ve done a lot of sitcoms and things. I know you’ve done some drama, but would you say this was more drama than you normally deal with in new shows?

Felix: Yeah, I would say that it’s, it’s the, the prolonged, I think the overarching storyline, you know, for, for a character. Uh, my characters had a substantial amount of time to really grow within a dramatic space. So I feel very, um. Grateful for that. Yeah. ’cause usually the more dramatic stuff has been more, you know, episodic or, or, you know, momentary kind of wrapped up in an hour or 30 minutes or less kind of a thing.

Suzanne: Right.

Felix: So this opportunity has, has allowed, you know, for me, for months to perform and then obviously over an entire season I character to really grow and reach a lot of different places within, within himself. And that’s been really fun to, to kind of get, to dig deeper within that. So yeah, it’s been, it’s been great.

Suzanne: Okay. Well, thank you for talking to me. I appreciate it.

Felix: Thank you, Susanna. I really appreciate it.

Suzanne: Which Superhero, is that behind you? Is that Robin?

Felix: That, that’s Robin, yeah. It gray. Okay. Yeah, I wanna be, uh, I’m, I’m aiming for, I know James Gunn’s cooking something up at d dc in the DCU, so I want be Dick Rayon, so we’ll see.

Suzanne: That would be great. I would love to see that.

Felix: I built, I built that. That’s mine.

Suzanne: Oh, wow. What is, I mean. Suit.

Felix: It’s a suit that you built.

Suzanne: Okay. Yeah.

Felix: Yeah. It’s like an armored suit. It’s like all the pieces are separate and everything. Wow. So, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I, I designed that and then I hired some people to be like, can we put this together? And then we’re that

Suzanne: neat. I like that. Do you go to Comic-Con.

Felix: I’ve been once once. Isn’t that crazy? Yeah. And I dress with Spider-Man ’cause he is my favorite.

Suzanne: Oh, okay.

Felix: Yeah, I haven’t busted this one out yet.

Suzanne: I have three older brothers and they were on the first San Diego Comic-Con, uh, committee, so I used to go a lot when I was a kid. I haven’t been in a long time though, because I don’t live there any more.. That’s Well, hopefully. Hopefully I’ll, hopefully I’ll be there. Honestly, I’d love to go for like. Roll if I’m doing, you know?

I loved speaking to Melissa, even though it was only for about 6 minutes. We had a nice chat, and she answered all of my questions in a very thoughtful way.

Interview with Reginald Hudlin and Shola Lynch of the documentary 2-part series, “Number One On the Call Sheet” on Apple TV+ by Suzanne 3/19/25

It was an honor to speak to these two filmmakers, especially after watching their series about all of the wonderful, successful, black movie actors that were interviewed. They were both very happy to be there and eager to speak about this project. They easily answered some of my tougher questions. Some of our most beloved actors from the past 50 years were interviewed in their doc. It was a joy to see some of my favorites share insights about their careers. I think you’ll enjoy our interview, and especially, the two-part documentary series, which debuts March 28 on Apple TV+.

Reginald Hudlin is unique in the entertainment business because of his success as a writer, producer, director and executive. To quote cultural critic Jimi Izrael,
“Hudlin is a modern-day Gordon Parks, a true monster in the game who totally re-did the blueprint: what some people used to call a renaissance man. I dig him because he made me think outside of the box. Hudlin writes and directs movies, pens a comic book, and he was running BET. That’s multi-tasking for your ass.” More

Interview with Paul Guilfoyle and Eric Aronson

Posted on March 21, 2025March 21, 2025 by TvMegasite Admin

TV Interview!

Actor Paul Guilfoyle and Director/Writer/Producer Eric Aronson of "Any Day Now," premiering March 21st in theaters.

Interview with Paul Guilfoyle and Eric Aronson of the film “Any Day Now” by Suzanne 3/13 and 3/14/25

This is a good indie movie about a real-life art museum heist that happened in 1990…but really, it’s about two (fictional) men (one older) that meet and get involved in a plot to steal the art. Marty (Paul Guilfoyle) ropes Steve (Taylor Gray) into helping him with the job. Marty is a career criminal with loads of bad advice for Steve, who is used to people walking all over him. The character studies and the acting are great to watch, and the basic story is unusual and enjoyable. Don’t miss this one! It premieres Friday, 3/21/25 in theaters – 35 years after the real-life museum robbery happened!

It was great speaking to both of these gentlemen about the movie. I’ve long-admired Guilfoyle’s work on CSI and other shows. Aronson not only came up with the idea for this movie, but he wrote, directed and produced it. Both he and Guilfoyle are from Boston, where the movie takes place (and where the real heist happened). See more info below. Enjoy the videos!

“The Faceless Ones” is the mostly missing eighth serial of the fourth season of Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in six weekly parts from April to May 1967, starring Patrick Troughton as the Doctor. Only two of the six episodes are held in the BBC film archives with snippets of footage and still images existing from the other four. Fortunately, off-air recordings of the soundtrack also still exist, making the animation of a complete serial possible once again. The Faceless Ones sees the TARDIS arrive on Earth at a runway at Gatwick Airport in England, where the Doctor and his companions encounter sinister identity-stealing aliens known as the Chameleons. The first three episodes of Doctor Who: The Faceless Ones premiere back-to-back on Wednesday, October 7th at 8 p.m. ET/PT with the last three episodes premiering back-to-back on Thursday, October 8th at 8 p.m. ET/PT, as a part of BBC AMERICA’s Comic-Couch programming block.

Glenister said, “I first appeared in Doctor Who in ‘The Caves of Androzani’ at the tender age of 24 in 1984. 35 years later, I got to be in it again at the not-so-tender age of nearly 60. How time flies!”
Speaking ahead of his debut Doctor Who appearance, Višnjic said, “I’ve always been a huge fan of Doctor Who, so when the offer to play one of my favorite people in history came, it made me so happy to be part of the show and it turned into this awesome, dream job!”
Matt Strevens, Executive Producer said: “One of the great joys of Doctor Who is the legendary actors who want to come and join in the Doctor’s adventures. We were thrilled to welcome Goran and Robert, whose worked we’ve loved and admired for years. They create two iconic characters who are going to delight and entertain.”
Notes to Editors: Doctor Who will return in early 2020.

Season 10 News
Doctor Who – An Individual Blu-ray Release for ‘The Complete 1st Series’? FANTASTIC!
Released June 21 (this article is from back in March)
Christopher Eccleston’s Doctor is wise and funny, cheeky and brave. An alien and a loner, his detached logic gives him a vital edge when the world’s in danger. But when it comes to human relationships, he can be found wanting. That’s why he needs Rose. From the moment they meet, the Doctor and Rose understand and complement each other. As they travel together through time, encountering new adversaries, the Doctor shows her things beyond imagination.
This past Tuesday, Christopher Eccleston was back on BBC One with the broadcast debut of a new show, The A Word, where Eccleston plays the grandfather of a child who has just been diagnosed with autism (hence the program’s title). Eccleston was especially in the news about this debut, because on the same day of the show’s premiere, a video interview of him by Gerard Groves was posted to YouTube. Groves, an autistic person himself (he has Asperger’s Syndrome), is an 18-year-old BBC apprentice via the “BBC Raw” program. Groves credits Eccleston’s Series 1 turn as the 9th Doctor for inspiring him and getting him into filmmaking! It’s a heartwarming interview, and please take 6 minutes to check it out. And also The A Word as well, of course!
Eccleston was immortalized as the 9th Doctor in the 13 episodes of Doctor Who – The Complete 1st Series, which debuted on television in 2005 and was released on DVD in North America back in 2006. The episodes were shot in standard definition, which was still fairly par-for-the-course at the time (although that was in the process of changing). The show didn’t go high-def until the 2009 broadcast debut of the Easter special, Planet of the Dead…it was the first “native HD” Who installment ever! It was near the end of David Tennant’s run as the 10th Doctor.
However, in 2013 the folks at BBC Home Entertainment released a 29-disc (plus sonic screwdriver!) package called the “Doctor Who – Series 1-7 Limited Edition Blu-ray Giftset”: it took the first four seasons of the show and released them on Blu by upconverting those episodes (used computer algorithms to digitally upscale a 480p image to look better on a 1080p HDTV screen…it’s not “true HD,” but it is an improvement over the normal SD image). (NOTE (3/26): I’ve gotten dozens of emails overnight reminding me that Doctor Who would have been shot at a native resolution of 576i PAL, rather than 480p NTSC…I regret the error, but the principle of upconverting is still the same.)
The Blu-ray versions of those first four seasons have been available overseas as separate items, but so far they’ve only been released in the USA as part of the above-named giftset. Now, however, that may be changing. We haven’t gotten official notification from the BBC yet to confirm this, nor from their North American distributors (Warner Home Video). But Amazon.com (see button link below) has had a listing for a little while for Doctor Who – The Complete 1st Series on Blu-ray Disc. We didn’t rush to report it sooner, because there were several irregularities about the entry.
Now the folks at Amazon seem to have cleared those issues up this week, and the listing shows a 3-disc Blu-ray package (see artwork below) priced at $59.99 SRP, and available beginning June 21st. It says to expect a “Dolby Digital 5.1 surround mix on all eps,” and extras to include Audio Commentary and “almost 5 hours of ‘making of’ interviews and behind-the- scenes footage” (both previously found on the DVD release of this season).
Will this lead to individual Blu-ray releases of the second, third and fourth series (seasons) of the 2005 show? One time (pun intended) will tell. For now, passionate fans (similar to Gerard Groves!) who have longed to own the memorable Christopher Eccleston season on Blu-ray Disc, will have their chance at an affordable price. Fantastic!
Doctor Who – The Second Half of Matt Smith’s First Year in ‘The 5th Series, Part 2’
A second half-season set aimed at budget-concious casual fans is coming soon
In early February, we posted an article explaining about how BBC Home Entertainment was trying to go back and release half-season sets of all the “NuWho” seasons, and why, and relayed that the BBC and their North American distributor, Warner Home Video, were planning a March 15th release of Doctor Who – The 5th Series, Part 1 on DVD as part of those efforts. That did indeed come out this past Tuesday…but what about the second half of that season?
The latter half of Matt Smith’s initial season as the 11th Doctor is coming to DVD as “Doctor Who – The 5th Series, Part 2” soon, as an Amazon.com pre-order entry shows. On the other hand, it doesn’t provide an actual release date at that listing: it merely says, “This title has not yet been released. You may pre-order it now and we will deliver it to you when it arrives.”
But Doctor Who – The 5th Series, Part 2 is ALSO listed for pre-order at Amazon’s Canadian branch, and Amazon.ca’s pre-order listing shows a specific release date of July 19th. Is that correct? We’re not sure…Amazon.ca’s listing also says this will be a Blu-ray release, and we’re rather certain that it’s a DVD, not a Blu-ray.
The listings show that the cost will be $19.96 SRP in the United States, and CA$23.99 SRP in Canada. Package art and other details aren’t available yet. Stay tuned for updates, as more info becomes available!
UPDATE: Almost immediately after we posted this report, Amazon.com’s listing was updated to display the same July 19th street date for this title as the Amazon.ca listing shows. Timing is everything. Especially when it’s wibbly-wobbly…
Steven Moffat’s Next Season Of Doctor Who Will Be His Last. Chris Chibnall Is New Head Writer And Executive Producer
After six incredible seasons at the helm, the multi-award winning Steven Moffat has decided to step down as the lead writer and executive producer of Doctor Who.
Steven took over the reins on Season 5 in 2010 and during his tenure the show has become a truly global success. He has been responsible for introducing the Eleventh and the Twelfth Doctors in Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi; as well as two companions Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) and Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) and iconic characters and monsters including River Song (Alex Kingston), Missy (Michelle Gomez), Rory Pond (Arthur Darvill) and the terrifying Weeping Angels. Plus, the smash hit 50th Anniversary special in 2013 which saw fans around the world celebrate the world’s longest running sci-fi series with the Doctors, Matt Smith, David Tennant and John Hurt battling the deadly Daleks in a feature length episode. Steven’s final season will air on BBC AMERICA and BBC One in Spring 2017 and there will be a Christmas Special in 2016.
Steven Moffat says: “Feels odd to be talking about leaving when I’m just starting work on the scripts for season 10, but the fact is my timey-wimey is running out. While Chris is doing his last run of Broadchurch, I’ll be finishing up on the best job in the universe and keeping the TARDIS warm for him. It took a lot of gin and tonic to talk him into this, but I am beyond delighted that one of the true stars of British Television drama will be taking the Time Lord even further into the future. At the start of season 11, Chris Chibnall will become the new showrunner of Doctor Who. And I will be thrown in a skip.”
Like Steven, Chris Chibnall is also a lifelong Doctor Who fan and a multi-award winning writer and executive producer. He has most recently achieved huge success with the triple BAFTA winning hit series Broadchurch. His other credits include BAFTA nominated The Great Train Robbery, United, Law & Order: UK, Life on Mars and Torchwood. Chris Chibnall’s debut season will launch in 2018.
Chris Chibnall, new Head Writer and Executive Producer: “Doctor Who is the ultimate BBC program: bold, unique, vastly entertaining, and adored all around the world. So it’s a privilege and a joy to be the next curator of this funny, scary and emotional family drama. I’ve loved Doctor Who since I was four years old, and I’m relishing the thought of working with the exceptional team at BBC Wales to create new characters, creatures and worlds for the Doctor to explore. Steven’s achieved the impossible by continually expanding Doctor Who’s creative ambition, while growing its global popularity. He’s been a dazzling and daring showrunner, and hearing his plans and stories for 2017, it’s clear he’ll be going out with a bang. Just to make my life difficult.”
Charlotte Moore, Controller, BBC One says: “I want to thank Steven Moffat for everything he has given Doctor Who – I’ve loved working with him, he is an absolute genius and has brought fans all over the world such joy. I will be very sad to see him leave the show but I can’t wait to see what he will deliver in his last ever series next year with a brand new companion. I have decided to schedule Steven’s big finale series in Spring 2017 to bring the nation together for what will be a huge event on the channel. 2016 is spoilt with national moments including the Euros and Olympics and I want to hold something big back for 2017 – I promise it will be worth the wait! I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome Chris Chibnall, a wonderfully talented writer who I know will bring something very special to the hit series.”
Polly Hill, Controller, BBC Drama Commissioning says: “Like Charlotte I would like to thank Steven for his brilliance, which has made Doctor Who a global hit under his tenure. Chris Chibnall is the perfect successor to take over the reins of this incredible show, so I am delighted that his love for Doctor Who has made it impossible for him to resist! Chris is an incredible writer and his vision and passion for Doctor Who gives it an exciting future and promises to be a real treat for Doctor Who fans across the world.”

From tvshowsondvd.com: Doctor Who – North American Package Art for ‘Story #032: The Underwater Menace’
The 2nd Doctor’s adventure comes to DVD in USA/Canada on March 1st
Posted by David Lambert 1/13/2016
The TARDIS lands in the lost city of Atlantis, where the crazed Professor Zaroff has convinced the Atlanteans that he can raise their city from beneath the sea. But the Doctor (Patrick Troughton) discovers the terrible truth behind Zaroff’s plan: he intends to destroy the entire planet. With the doomsday clock ticking, the Doctor and his companions must battle to prevent the apocalypse…
Our most recent update about the North American release of Doctor Who – Story #032: The Underwater Menace – posted in early December – was to tell you that the release date for this title in the USA and Canada appeared to have been finalized at March 1st . That continues to be the date, much to the relief of this fan of classic Who (me); we’ve waited quite long enough!
Now the folks at BBC Home Entertainment have released a “back of the box” description for the item, quoted above (in italics), and a first look at the package art for this long-awaited DVD set (see below). It’s a single-disc release, priced at $24.98 SRP. There were several extras included as bonus materials on the UK version of the title, and while it’s expected that those will be included on the American release as well, the BBC hasn’t confirmed that for certain yet. So in an abundance of caution, we’re holding off on listing those; stay tuned for updates!

The premiere episode ranks as Doctor Who’s biggest season premiere ever in the Adult 18-49 demo, which nearly doubled the season 8 average. The season debut also saw increased social engagement versus last season’s premiere, and reigned as the most social drama of the night and week leading into the premiere.
“Doctor Who is unlike anything else on television, a storied franchise that is as fresh and contemporary as ever, with brilliant writing and superb performances,” said Sarah Barnett, President of BBC AMERICA. “We couldn’t be more thrilled that new and returning Doctor Who fans tuned into the live premiere in record numbers and we look forward to bringing more of the Doctor to this passionate audience.”
Live + Same Day Ratings Highlights*:
The premiere telecast delivered 2 million total viewers and 1.1 million Adults 18-49. Among A18-49, Doctor Who propelled BBC AMERICA to #3 in its timeslot, out-delivering the big 4 broadcast networks and ranking only behind college football on ESPN and the finale of Sábado Gigante on Univision.
In the A18-49 demo, Doctor Who is now one of just 14 dramas on TV this season to show any growth from its prior season premiere (out of 100+ returning dramas).
The A18-49 audience ranks as Doctor Who’s biggest season premiere ever on BBC AMERICA, nearly doubling the S8 average (+95%). In the demo, episode 901 ranks among the top 10 returning cable drama premieres this season, beating Homeland, Suits and The Strain, among others.
All tracked demos showed increases from the season 8 average with the most significant increases seen among the younger demos, most notably P12-24 (+186%) and P18-34 (+161%).
The episode reigned as the #1 most social drama of the night based on ListenFirst’s Digital Audience Ratings for Television. It was the #1 TV brand on Tumblr, the #1 drama on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube and the #2 drama on Instagram, following The Walking Dead. It was also the #1 most social drama of the week.
Episode 901 garnered larger social engagement than the most recent season premieres of Scandal, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, True Detective, Outlander, Glee, and The Flash, among others.
In the newest season of Doctor Who, the Doctor and Clara embark on reckless adventures in all of space and time. In Peter Capaldi’s second season at the helm of the TARDIS, the series sees the Doctor and Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) going on a journey that takes them to deadly alien planets, creepy underwater bases, Viking villages, a global Zygon uprising, and through hidden alien dens, to the very end of time itself.
Meeting monsters old and new, the Doctor will come face to face with Missy (Michelle Gomez), a city of Daleks, deadly mercenaries called the Mire, terrifying ghosts and more.
Previously announced and taking up a guest role in the new season will be Maisie Williams, having already achieved global success for her role as Arya Stark in Game of Thrones. Michelle Gomez (Missy) returns to plague the Doctor and Clara in the season opener, and UNIT are back with Jemma Redgrave (Kate Stewart) and Ingrid Oliver (Osgood) returning following their popular entrance last season. Also confirmed as guest cast in the new season are Reece Shearsmith, Rebecca Front, Rufus Hound, Paul Kaye, Elaine Tan, Neet Mohan, Bethany Black, Paul Courtenay Hyu, Joivan Wade and Sophie Stone.
The new season has been written by lead writer Steven Moffat, Toby Whithouse, Jamie Mathieson, Peter Harness, Mark Gatiss, and new writers to Doctor Who – Sarah Dollard and Catherine Tregenna; directed by Hettie Macdonald, Daniel O’Hara, Ed Bazalgette, Daniel Nettheim, Justin Molotnikov, Rachel Talalay; and produced by Tracie Simpson, Derek Ritchie, Nikki Wilson and Peter Bennett. Doctor Who is a BBC Cymru Wales production for BBC One, co-produced with BBC AMERICA.

From tvshowsondvd Doctor Who – Early Blu-ray and DVD Cover Art Found for ‘The 9th Series, Part 1’
Not officially announced by the BBC yet, but Amazon shows a November 3rd street date
A few weeks back we reported that a pair of pre-order listings at Amazon.com was showing off a November 3rd availability date for Doctor Who – The 9th Series, Part 1 on both Blu-ray Disc and standard DVD. Those listings have now been updated to show the package art for both of these 2-disc set, and we’re passing those images along to you today. Please keep in mind, however, that these may not be finalized yet, and could be subject to change:
From tvshowsondvd Doctor Who – Further Developments About the ‘Dark Water/Death In Heaven’ 3DBD
3D Blu-ray release is apparently timed to come out directly after a VERY brief theatrical engagement
Two weeks ago we had the scoop that on September 22nd, BBC Home Entertainment will release a 3D Blu-ray Disc (“3DBD”) of Doctor Who – Dark Water/Death In Heaven. Our source in Canada’s home video industry is still maintaining this information, with no changes or additions so far. But this past Tuesday it became clear that this item is a quick follow-up to a theatrical event involving the same two episodes. Here’s a reminder of those episodes, which together closed out the 8th season of the current program (which is Peter Capaldi’s first season as the 12th Doctor):
“Dark Water” -In the mysterious world of the Nethersphere, plans have been drawn. Missy is about to come face to face with the Doctor, and an impossible choice is looming… ‘Death is not an end’, promises the sinister organisation known only as 3W – but, as the Doctor and Clara discover, they might wish it was.
“Death in Heaven” -With Cybermen on the streets of London, old friends unite against old enemies and the Doctor takes to the air in a startling new role. Can the mighty UNIT contain Missy? As the Doctor faces his greatest challenge, sacrifices must be made before the day is won.
A few days ago, BBC Worldwide’s North America division, in conjunction with Fathom Events, announced that they would bring these episodes to selected theaters on Tuesday, September 15th and Wednesday, September 16th, at 7:30 PM local time for each theater, for a VERY limited theatrical engagement. They will be presented in RealD 3D, and in Dolby Atmos sound (where available). There will also be a pair of exclusive extras:
“The event will feature The Doctor’s Meditation – a special prequel scene to the first episode of season nine – and an exclusive interview with DOCTOR WHO stars Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman, hosted by Wil Wheaton (Big Bang Theory, Star Trek: Nemesis), in addition to the two-part season eight finale.”
If you’re interested in attending, you can purchase tickets beginning today, July 31st, from FathomEvents.com. It may not be available local to you, however (for example, there are no engagements scheduled at all in the city where I live).
Note that the “extras” for this theatrical showing include a prequel scene to the beginning of Doctor Who’s ninth season…which premieres on BBC America the following Saturday, September 19th. And in which the BBC America trailer clearly shows the return of “Missy”…as well as other fun stuff throughout the season, including a guest appearance by Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams (“Arya Stark”). There’s no word if the 3D Blu-ray release of Doctor Who – Dark Water/Death In Heaven the following Tuesday will contain either of these extras. It’s probable, however, that the BBC would save those for the eventual Season 9 set.
Again, the 3DBD release for Dark Water/Death In Heaven still hasn’t been formally announced by BBC Home Entertainment as of this writing, but please stay tuned for updates!
Fantastic! ‘Doctor Who’ showrunner promises at least 5 more years of time and space
The Doctor and River Song Reunite For A Spectacular Christmas! Published: September 2, 2015
Alex Kingston returns for the Doctor Who Christmas Special on BBC AMERICA
New York – September 2, 2015 – Announced today, Alex Kingston returns to reclaim her role as Professor River Song for the highly anticipated 2015 Doctor Who Christmas special, premiering on Christmas Day on BBC AMERICA.
It’s Christmas Day in the future and the TARDIS is parked on a snowy village street, covered in icicles, awaiting its next adventure. Time traveller River Song meets her husband’s new incarnation, in the form of Peter Capaldi, for the first time this Christmas.
Filming the eleventh Doctor Who Christmas special starts this week and is written by lead writer and executive producer, Steven Moffat, produced by Nikki Wilson and directed by Douglas Mackinnon (Doctor Who, Sherlock).
River Song made her first Doctor Who appearance in 2008 in Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead and has appeared in 15 episodes to date.
Award-winning Alex Kingston comments on her reappearance: “To be honest, I did not know whether River would ever return to the show, but here she is, back with the Doctor for the Christmas special. Steven Moffat is on glittering form, giving us an episode filled with humor and surprise guest castings. I met Peter for the first time at Monday’s read-through, we had a laugh, and I am now excited and ready to start filming with him and the Doctor Who team. Christmas in September?, why not!”
Steven Moffat, lead writer and executive producer adds: “Another Christmas, another special for Doctor Who – and what could be more special than the return of Alex Kingston as Professor River Song. The last time the Doctor saw her she was a ghost. The first time he met her, she died. So how can he be seeing her again? As ever, with the most complicated relationship in the universe, it’s a matter of time …”
The witty line-up of guest cast joining Alex for a magical adventure on the TARDIS will be announced over the coming months.
The BBC Cymru Wales produced drama will return to BBC AMERICA on Saturday, September 19 with a 12 episode season, followed by the Christmas special on Friday, December 25.

Doctor Who – Contents List Found for the Upcoming 2-DVD Set for ‘The Cybermen’
New Who episodes star (with bonus classic episodes) on this mid-May release
3/20/2015 See the beginnings of the terrifying Cybermen in this thrilling Doctor Who compilation. Few villains in the fantastical world of Doctor Who spark such terror as the dreaded Cybermen – the murderous cyborgs with a bone chilling lack of emotion. This special release features iconic episodes of both the new and classic series showcasing the genesis and increasingly frightful transformations of these creatures, plus all new bonus content tying together the history of these fan favorite monsters.
BBC Home Entertainment has provided the above description of their upcoming May 19th release of Doctor Who – The Cybermen on DVD. As we first reported a few weeks ago, this will be a 2-disc set priced at $24.98 SRP (cost in Canada will be CA$30.98 SRP). It will be available in DVD only, with no Blu-ray format version available.
While neither the BBC nor their distributors at Warner Home Video have provided a specific list of the contents for this title, Steve Manfred has posted over in his Doctor Who DVD FAQ the following list of included material:
•”Army of Ghosts” (Part 1) and “Doomsday” (Part 2), starring David Tennant as the 10th Doctor (Season 2)
•”Closing Time,” starring Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor (Season 6)
•”Nightmare in Silver,” starring Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor (Season 7)
•”Dark Water” (Part 1) and “Death in Heaven” (Part 2),
starring Peter Capaldi as the 12th Doctor (Season 8)
•Bonus: “Story #122: Earthshock,” starring Peter Davison as the 5th Doctor
•Bonus: “Cybermen Origins” Featurette: A New Documentary chronicling the creation of the dreaded monsters (20 minutes)
Our thanks to the studio for what information they did provide, and for the finalized high-res 3D package art seen below. Our thanks to one of our readers, “Victor,” for tipping us off this morning about Steve’s info. Steve also says that there may be a “The Daleks” release later this year. We haven’t received studio confirmation of that, nor of the above contents list, but if we find out anything different then we’ll post an update as soon as we’re able to. Stay tuned!
I just read this on Wikipedia (Yay!): In April 2015, Steven Moffat confirmed that Doctor Who would run for at least another five years, extending the show until 2020.
The show returns in Fall 2015.
Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Who BBC Theme Park
Doctor Who – Everybody Look Out! ‘The Cybermen’ Are Invading North America!
2-DVD set from BBC/Warner is coming in May, according to Amazon
BBC Home Entertainment hasn’t announced it yet, nor has distributor Warner Home Video, but Amazon.com’s pre-order listing shows that on May 19th BBC/Warner will release Doctor Who – The Cybermen on DVD. As an unannounced title, there isn’t any content information available from the studio at the time of this writing. And Amazon’s entry doesn’t show what the “main” content is going to be…but it does list a pair of “Special Features” (extras):
Earthshock: Episodes 1-4. (4×25)
Cybermen Origins: A New Documentary chronicling the creation of the dreaded monsters (1×20)
The 5th Doctor (Peter Davison) story arc named there, Doctor Who – Story #122: Earthshock, has been available on DVD in North America since 2004. And the cover art shown at Amazon (which we have for you, below) features key artwork that is taken from the Cybermen’s most recent appearance, with the 12th Doctor (Peter Capaldi) in the two-part finale for the 8th series (season) of the 2005 program. So it’s a safe guess that content from both the original and new shows will be on board. But that’s just a guess.
Price for this 2-DVD set (no Blu-ray versions have been indicated, at least not yet…and possibly not at all) is $24.98 SRP, and you can pre-order it from Amazon at a discount. There was a U.K. release on DVD about 5 or 6 years ago, The Cybermen Collection, containing the first four episodes from the re-introduction of the Cybermen in the new program…but it’s a safe bet that the content will be different for the North American release of the similar title. It’s also a safe bet that the content will all be episodes previously available on DVD, excepting for the “all-new bonus material” mentioned in the banner across the top of the box front. I suppose we’ll have to wait to find out, since we don’t have a TARDIS handy to fly. Stay tuned!

DOCTOR WHO: THE COMPLETE MATT SMITH YEARS
LIMITED EDITION BLU-RAY GIFT SET November 4, 2014
“I will not forget one line of this. Not one day. I swear. I will always remember when the Doctor was me.” – The Eleventh Doctor
New York – BBC Home Entertainment is pulling out all the stops with one massive collection in honor of the Eleventh Doctor and the man who portrayed him, with the release of Doctor Who: The Complete Matt Smith Years Limited Edition Blu-ray Gift Set, landing on shelves in time for the holidays on November 4, 2014. Matt Smith made his first appearance as the Doctor in 2010, and went on to star in three seasons of the iconic British sci-fi series, written and executive produced by Emmy and BAFTA winner Steven Moffat (Sherlock, The Adventures of Tintin).
The set features the complete adventures of the Eleventh Doctor – every season, every special, every episode. It also includes, for the very first time on a special bonus disc, Doctor Who Proms 2013, The Day of the Doctor: From Script to Screen, The Five Doctors Reboot and Doctor Who: The Ultimate Guide. And it wouldn’t be a complete set of Matt Smith’s appearances without also including the two part special The Sarah Jane Adventures: The Death of the Doctor.
Doctor Who at the Proms 2013 – It’s always a thrilling night when the BBC’s annual classical music festival, the Proms, features the music of Doctor Who. Hosted by none other than the 11th Doctor himself, Matt Smith, plus companion Clara (Jenna Coleman) and a fantastic assortment of special guests (and monsters), Murry Gold’s iconic music from the program has never sounded better than in this live concert, which was a highlight of the build-up to Doctor Who’s 50th Anniversary.
The Day of the Doctor: From Script to Screen – Witness the initial table read for Doctor Who’s legendary 50th Annivesary episode, The Day of the Doctor, and then see the episode come to life on screen through interviews with Matt Smith, David Tennant, Steven Moffat and others as well as footage from the filming. It’s an exciting look inside the process of bringing Doctor Who to life.
The Five Doctors Reboot – In the build-up to Doctor Who’s 50th Anniversary, rumors were swirling wildly about which former Doctors would be featured in the anniversary episode itself. In this hilarious comic spoof, former Doctors Peter Davison, Sylvester McCoy, Colin Baker, and Paul McGann poke fun at the mystery and themselves in hysterical fashion. With cameos from Matt Smith, David Tennant, Jenna Coleman, Steven Moffat, Russell T. Davies and others.
Doctor Who: The Ultimate Guide – Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith and companion Clara (Jenna Coleman) introduce this insightful look back at the remarkable 50-year history of Doctor Who, featuring interviews with the cast and the people behind the scenes, past and present, plus a host of celebrity fans. Doctor Who: The Ultimate Guide delves deep into the history of the Doctor, profiling his many incarnations and charting the progression of his character from his old-fashioned, black and white origins to his more complex, many-layered, modern-day persona and the multi-faceted menaces he has faced through the years. This is the defining documentary of Doctor Who, the perfect way to celebrate a rich 50-year old marvel.
The Sarah Jane Adventures: The Death of the Doctor – The Eleventh Doctor makes a special appearance in the spin-off series The Sarah Jane Adventures. In the two part special written by Russell T Davies, Sarah Jane is reunited with another of the Doctor’s former companions, Jo Grant (Katy Manning), as they investigate the fate of the Doctor at his own funeral. Things get more complicated when they’re joined by the Eleventh Doctor himself in an alien-busting adventure featuring brand-new vulture aliens, the mysterious Shansheeth and a trip to an alien planet.
Doctor Who: The Matt Smith Years Limited Edition Blu-ray Gift Set includes: Blu-ray/ 1080p Resolution:
Doctor Who: The Complete Fifth Series, starring Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill

Doctor Who – Extras, Revised Box Art for ‘The Complete 8th Series’ on DVD, Blu
December 9th release date for the current show’s latest season
From tvshowsondvd.com
The new era of Doctor Who has begun and on December 9, 2014 Doctor Who: The Complete Eighth Series lands on Blu-ray and DVD. The most recent season sees a brand new face at the controls of the TARDIS with Peter Capaldi (The Thick of It) as the Doctor. TV Guide Magazine calls his performance “Absolutely brilliant” and People Magazine says “His arrival in the premiere is a jolt – and a joy.” Relive all 12 episodes of this electrifying season, as well as bonus features including EXCLUSIVE footage from the London Premiere Q&A with Peter Capaldi, Jenna Coleman and lead writer and executive producer Steven Moffat, four EXCLUSIVE episode commentaries, behind-the-scenes footage, a special documentary following Doctor Who: The World Tour, and many more.
The new era of Doctor Who starring Peter Capaldi delivered the highest rated season premiere ever on BBC AMERICA. In the feature-length premiere, the new Doctor crash-lands in Victorian London. As Clara (Jenna Coleman, Dancing on the Edge) struggles to recognize the man she thought she knew so well, killers are stalking the capital. A slaughterhouse restaurant and a buried spaceship lead the Doctor into a confrontation with a long forgotten foe…but how far is this new man ready to go to protect his friends? The new season sees the Doctor and Clara encounter wonders and horrors. They meet a fleet of Daleks as they attempt to rescue a stranded ship of human survivors, face ranks of Cybermen stalking the Earth, go back in time and join Robin Hood in a fight with killer robots in Sherwood Forest, become bank robbers when they break into the deadliest bank in the cosmos, face a mummy on the Orient Express, discover a deadly horror dwelling on the Moon, and come to know the last man standing at the end of the Universe. And as Clara falls for handsome fellow teacher, Danny Pink (Samuel Anderson, The History Boys), can she keep her two extraordinary lives going?
In the middle of last month we brought you the BBC Home Entertainment announcement for Doctor Who – The Complete 8th Series on DVD ($79.98 SRP, 5 discs) and high-def Blu-ray Disc ($99.98 SRP, 4 discs). At the time we had what was described as “finalized package art,” which showed Peter Capaldi as the 12th Doctor. Now the BBC has provided a list of bonus material for this title, which we’ve got below. Underneath that, we have REVISED package art for the Blu-ray Disc and DVD versions of the December 9th release. As you can see, they’ve changed the background art, and also brought in a new foreground image of Capaldi paired with companion Jenna Coleman (“Clara Oswald”). But first, those extras:

Religious groups have a long established first amendment ability to operate according to their own beliefs. However, when individuals or businesses go out into the commercial market, they must abide by legal non-discrimination provisions.

Cybermen to kill off Matt Smith’s Doctor Who in BBC Christmas Special

From bbc.co.uk: Doctor Who 50th anniversary schedule revealed by BBC
The Day of the Doctor stars Matt Smith, David Tennant and John Hurt
The BBC has announced a raft of programmes to mark the 50th anniversary of the first episode of Doctor Who.
A 75-minute special episode called The Day Of The Doctor will star the soon-to-leave Matt Smith and David Tennant.
Smith said: “Hope you all enjoy. There’s lots more coming your way.”
Other highlights include a BBC Two lecture by Professor Brian Cox on the science behind the hit show and the drama An Adventure In Space and Time, written by Mark Gatiss.
The one-off programme stars David Bradley – known to millions for his role as Filch in the Harry Potter films – as William Hartnell, who played the first Doctor in 1963.
BBC Two’s flagship arts programme The Culture Show is to present Me, You and Doctor Who, with lifelong fan Matthew Sweet exploring the cultural significance of the BBC’s longest running TV drama.
A 90-minute documentary on BBC Radio 2 will ask “Who Is The Doctor?” – using newly-recorded interviews and exclusive archive material to find an answer.
For those less familiar with the show, Doctor Who: The Ultimate Guide will provide a handy primer.
Danny Cohen, BBC director of television, said: “It’s an astonishing achievement for a drama to reach its 50th anniversary.
“I’d like to thank every person – on both sides of the camera – who has been involved with its creative journey over so many years.”
Daleks The anniversary episode, which also stars Jenna Coleman and Billie Piper, sees the return of the Daleks
Smith has already started filming his final scenes as the Doctor, which are due to air in this year’s Christmas episode. His replacement, Scots actor Peter Capaldi, was announced in August.
Steven Moffat, lead writer and executive producer on Doctor Who, said: “50 years has turned Doctor Who from a television show into a cultural landmark. Personally I can’t wait to see what it becomes after a hundred.”
CBBC will broadcast a show, 12 Again, bringing together stars to share their memories of Doctor Who.
They include the seventh Doctor, Sylvester McCoy, Tommy Knight, who played Luke Smith in The Sarah Jane Adventures, Warwick Davis, who played Porridge in a Doctor Who episode and Louise Jameson, who was the fourth Doctor Tom Baker’s companion Leela.
Blue Peter is launching a competition giving viewers aged between six and 14 the opportunity to design a new gadget that will become part of the series and Matt Smith will appear on the Blue Peter sofa to answer viewers’ questions.
BBC Three audiences will be encouraged to get involved and vote in Doctor Who: Monsters and Villains Weekend.

Matt Smith’s days as Doctor Who may be numbered — but before he goes, he’ll topline one of the biggest events in the sci-fi series’ history.
The Day of the Doctor, the BBC drama’s 50th anniversary special, premieres in the U.K. and the U.S. on Nov. 23. Trailers for the special have been screened at Comic-Con and for members of the media, but for the public, key art released Tuesday provides a first look at the episode.
Smith, joined by previous Doctor David Tennant, looks deadly serious above an image of guest John Hurt emerging from an explosive collage of significant images to the show’s past. And it’s Hurt, as Smith recently noted, who steals most of the scenes.”David and I would be climbing the walls, and then John just flicks his eyes and the camera goes, ‘Oh yeah, let’s watch John Hurt,'” Smith told reporters during July’s Television Critics Association summer press tour. Smith’s Doctor Who successor was recently revealed to be The Thick of It actor Peter Capaldi. He’ll take over the role at the conclusion of this year’s Christmas special.

‘Doctor Who’ 50th Anniversary to be Simulcast Internationally
In an attempt to avoid Internet spoilers for November’s 50th anniversary episode of ‘Doctor Who,’ the episode will be simultaneously broadcast around the globe in 200 countries.

The BBC has announced today that the episode will be simulcast around the world to try and cut down on the number of spoilers leaking onto the Internet after its initial U.K. broadcast.
According to a statement released today by BBC Worldwide, the BBC’s commercial arm responsible for the sale of Who to broadcasters in 200 countries, “It’s always been our ambition to work with our broadcast partners so that international Doctor Who fans can enjoy the 50th Anniversary special at the same time as the UK. We’ll have more details soon about our very exciting global plans for November.”
The episode — which will be transmitted in 3D in Britain and accompanied by screenings in movie theaters around the country — will begin at 7pm on Saturday, November 23 in the United Kingdom, with BBC America’s transmission beginning at 11am on the West Coast and 2pm on the East.

‘Doctor Who’ celebrates 50 years with biopic and new Doctor
‘Doctor Who’: Matt Smith’s Farewell Tour Continues at TCA
Promoting November’s 50th episode festivities, the exiting star of the BBC America series talks about his time playing the iconic character.
Matt Smith hasn’t even seen the script for his final episode of Doctor Who yet, but his impending exit is all anyone wanted to talk about when he appeared at the Television Critics Association press tour on Thursday morning.
“It’s kind of business as usual,” he said. “It is going to be emotional for me because it’s been four years. It’s a really transformative experience as an actor. We just kind of make the show though, don’t we?”
Smith said that he was conflicted about the decision to leave after this year’s Christmas special but ultimately felt the time was right. “I think the show has come to a natural tipping point, and it’s at the top of a cycle,” he added. “I think it’s a good time for me and the show.”
Producers have also been pushing the story in that direction. Marcus Wilson, on-hand with Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman, spoke about the addition of Clara and how she would be helping facilitate the transition to the next Doctor.
“There were discussions as soon as I started, so I knew it was likely that Matt would be leaving us at the end of this season,” said Coleman. “I knew that I was playing three different characters, but we didn’t know until later in the season the reveal of that. … It was just the quest of how the same girl can pop up throughout time and space.”
For the 50th anniversary, Smith spoke a little of his onscreen meeting with former Doctor David Tennant — but insisted they were both one-upped by fellow guest John Hurt.
“David and I would be climbing the walls, and then John just flicks his eyes and the camera goes, ‘Oh yeah, let’s watch John Hurt,'” said Smith.
The onscreen meeting of Smith and Tennant isn’t the only first for Doctor Who. It’s the first time the series has seen an infusion of characters from Russell T Davies’ time as showrunner since Steven Moffat took over the job. Wilson said that it was likely a one-off, but they were open to a future collaboration with Davies.
“Steven has a very good idea of what happens next,” said the producer, “but we’re always open to possibilities.”

Doctor Who: Series 6, Part 1 OUR REVIEW
On July 19, the first part of the new acclaimed season of Doctor Who will be available on Blu-ray and DVD, with the release of Doctor Who: Series 6, Part 1.
Pre-order it Official Site IMAGES
Clips: VIDEO 1 VIDEO 2 VIDEO 3 VIDEO 4 VIDEO 5
Doctor Who: Series 6, Part 1, a two-disc DVD and Blu-ray set, contains the first seven episodes along with two Monster files, “The Gangers” and “The Silence,” two of the Doctor’s most challenging opponents.
In the season opener, “The Impossible Astronaut,” four envelopes are received, numbered 2, 3 and 4, each containing a date, time and map reference, unsigned, but in TARDIS blue. Who sent them? And who received the missing number one? This strange summons reunites the Doctor (Smith), Amy (Gillan), Rory (Darvill) and River Song (Kingston) in the middle of the Utah desert and unveils a terrible secret the Doctor’s friends must never reveal to him. ‘Space 1969’ is their only clue, as their quest lands them – quite literally – in the Oval Office, where they are enlisted by President Nixon himself to assist enigmatic former-FBI agent Canton (Mark Sheppard) in saving a terrified little girl from a mysterious spaceman.
Following the two-parter, the Doctor, Amy and Rory journey on the high seas of 1696 aboard Avery’s (Bonneville) pirate ship to solve the mystery of the Siren (Cole). In a bubble universe at the very edge of reality, the Doctor meets an old friend with a new face, and in a monastery on a remote island in the near future, an industrial accident takes on a terrible human shape. And waiting for them, at the end of all this, is the battle of Demon’s Run, and the Doctor’s darkest hour. Can even the truth about River Song save the Time Lord’s soul? Only two things are certain. Silence will fall. And a good man is going to die…

John Barrowman Fleshes Out His Idea for Female Doctor Who, Ducks the Big Arrow Question
by Team TVLine
Paying his latest of many visits to Comic-Con, John Barrowman stopped by TVLine’s interview suite to share his very specific ideas for a female Doctor Who, as speculation continues to swirl about who will play the Twelfth Time Lord.
Reiterating his previously expressed stance that it’s time for a woman to helm the TARDIS, the Who/Torchwood alum opined to Michael Ausiello, “Let’s try something different.”
After suggesting one existing Whoniverse denizen to ostensibly fill the role, Barrowman said that if the BBC America series goes with a new face, it should be someone “who’s real” — and then he elaborates on that.Also in this video Q&A, Barrowman does his best to duck Arrow resurrection Qs, raves about taking in the Comic-Con freely as a geek boy himself — “The fans are really great with me” — and talks up his Torchwood and Hollow Earth novels, teasing possible casting ideas for a TV adaptation of the latter (which he pens with his sister).

TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY Exclusive: Premiere Date and Poster Revealed! http://bit.ly/eeLIGw
The upcoming season of Doctor Who will be split into two parts by the BBC. In the U.K., the first batch of seven episodes will air in the spring, and culminate in a cliffhanger tentatively scheduled to air Easter weekend. The second batch of six episodes will air in the fall. It’s still unclear if BBCAmerica will follow a similar schedule in the U.S.
“We are going to make it two series – seven episodes at Easter building to an earth-shattering climax, a cliffhanger we could never normally do because it would be too long before it came back,” Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat told the Guardian. All five previous seasons of Doctor Who’s revival have aired in a single thirteen episode batch during the spring (in the U.K.). The series will continue its annual tradition of special Christmas episodes. The change in scheduling will cut the break between seasons in half.
The Guardian’s story has more info on the scheduling change here:

Den of Geek News
Season 10 News
Doctor Who – An Individual Blu-ray Release for ‘The Complete 1st Series’? FANTASTIC!
Released June 21 (this article is from back in March)
Christopher Eccleston’s Doctor is wise and funny, cheeky and brave. An alien and a loner, his detached logic gives him a vital edge when the world’s in danger. But when it comes to human relationships, he can be found wanting. That’s why he needs Rose. From the moment they meet, the Doctor and Rose understand and complement each other. As they travel together through time, encountering new adversaries, the Doctor shows her things beyond imagination.
This past Tuesday, Christopher Eccleston was back on BBC One with the broadcast debut of a new show, The A Word, where Eccleston plays the grandfather of a child who has just been diagnosed with autism (hence the program’s title). Eccleston was especially in the news about this debut, because on the same day of the show’s premiere, a video interview of him by Gerard Groves was posted to YouTube. Groves, an autistic person himself (he has Asperger’s Syndrome), is an 18-year-old BBC apprentice via the “BBC Raw” program. Groves credits Eccleston’s Series 1 turn as the 9th Doctor for inspiring him and getting him into filmmaking! It’s a heartwarming interview, and please take 6 minutes to check it out. And also The A Word as well, of course!
Eccleston was immortalized as the 9th Doctor in the 13 episodes of Doctor Who – The Complete 1st Series, which debuted on television in 2005 and was released on DVD in North America back in 2006. The episodes were shot in standard definition, which was still fairly par-for-the-course at the time (although that was in the process of changing). The show didn’t go high-def until the 2009 broadcast debut of the Easter special, Planet of the Dead…it was the first “native HD” Who installment ever! It was near the end of David Tennant’s run as the 10th Doctor.
However, in 2013 the folks at BBC Home Entertainment released a 29-disc (plus sonic screwdriver!) package called the “Doctor Who – Series 1-7 Limited Edition Blu-ray Giftset”: it took the first four seasons of the show and released them on Blu by upconverting those episodes (used computer algorithms to digitally upscale a 480p image to look better on a 1080p HDTV screen…it’s not “true HD,” but it is an improvement over the normal SD image). (NOTE (3/26): I’ve gotten dozens of emails overnight reminding me that Doctor Who would have been shot at a native resolution of 576i PAL, rather than 480p NTSC…I regret the error, but the principle of upconverting is still the same.)
The Blu-ray versions of those first four seasons have been available overseas as separate items, but so far they’ve only been released in the USA as part of the above-named giftset. Now, however, that may be changing. We haven’t gotten official notification from the BBC yet to confirm this, nor from their North American distributors (Warner Home Video). But Amazon.com (see button link below) has had a listing for a little while for Doctor Who – The Complete 1st Series on Blu-ray Disc. We didn’t rush to report it sooner, because there were several irregularities about the entry.
Now the folks at Amazon seem to have cleared those issues up this week, and the listing shows a 3-disc Blu-ray package (see artwork below) priced at $59.99 SRP, and available beginning June 21st. It says to expect a “Dolby Digital 5.1 surround mix on all eps,” and extras to include Audio Commentary and “almost 5 hours of ‘making of’ interviews and behind-the- scenes footage” (both previously found on the DVD release of this season).
Will this lead to individual Blu-ray releases of the second, third and fourth series (seasons) of the 2005 show? One time (pun intended) will tell. For now, passionate fans (similar to Gerard Groves!) who have longed to own the memorable Christopher Eccleston season on Blu-ray Disc, will have their chance at an affordable price. Fantastic!
Doctor Who – The Second Half of Matt Smith’s First Year in ‘The 5th Series, Part 2’
A second half-season set aimed at budget-concious casual fans is coming soon
In early February, we posted an article explaining about how BBC Home Entertainment was trying to go back and release half-season sets of all the “NuWho” seasons, and why, and relayed that the BBC and their North American distributor, Warner Home Video, were planning a March 15th release of Doctor Who – The 5th Series, Part 1 on DVD as part of those efforts. That did indeed come out this past Tuesday…but what about the second half of that season?
The latter half of Matt Smith’s initial season as the 11th Doctor is coming to DVD as “Doctor Who – The 5th Series, Part 2” soon, as an Amazon.com pre-order entry shows. On the other hand, it doesn’t provide an actual release date at that listing: it merely says, “This title has not yet been released. You may pre-order it now and we will deliver it to you when it arrives.”
But Doctor Who – The 5th Series, Part 2 is ALSO listed for pre-order at Amazon’s Canadian branch, and Amazon.ca’s pre-order listing shows a specific release date of July 19th. Is that correct? We’re not sure…Amazon.ca’s listing also says this will be a Blu-ray release, and we’re rather certain that it’s a DVD, not a Blu-ray.
The listings show that the cost will be $19.96 SRP in the United States, and CA$23.99 SRP in Canada. Package art and other details aren’t available yet. Stay tuned for updates, as more info becomes available!
UPDATE: Almost immediately after we posted this report, Amazon.com’s listing was updated to display the same July 19th street date for this title as the Amazon.ca listing shows. Timing is everything. Especially when it’s wibbly-wobbly…
Steven Moffat’s Next Season Of Doctor Who Will Be His Last. Chris Chibnall Is New Head Writer And Executive Producer
After six incredible seasons at the helm, the multi-award winning Steven Moffat has decided to step down as the lead writer and executive producer of Doctor Who.
Steven took over the reins on Season 5 in 2010 and during his tenure the show has become a truly global success. He has been responsible for introducing the Eleventh and the Twelfth Doctors in Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi; as well as two companions Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) and Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) and iconic characters and monsters including River Song (Alex Kingston), Missy (Michelle Gomez), Rory Pond (Arthur Darvill) and the terrifying Weeping Angels. Plus, the smash hit 50th Anniversary special in 2013 which saw fans around the world celebrate the world’s longest running sci-fi series with the Doctors, Matt Smith, David Tennant and John Hurt battling the deadly Daleks in a feature length episode. Steven’s final season will air on BBC AMERICA and BBC One in Spring 2017 and there will be a Christmas Special in 2016.
Steven Moffat says: “Feels odd to be talking about leaving when I’m just starting work on the scripts for season 10, but the fact is my timey-wimey is running out. While Chris is doing his last run of Broadchurch, I’ll be finishing up on the best job in the universe and keeping the TARDIS warm for him. It took a lot of gin and tonic to talk him into this, but I am beyond delighted that one of the true stars of British Television drama will be taking the Time Lord even further into the future. At the start of season 11, Chris Chibnall will become the new showrunner of Doctor Who. And I will be thrown in a skip.”
Like Steven, Chris Chibnall is also a lifelong Doctor Who fan and a multi-award winning writer and executive producer. He has most recently achieved huge success with the triple BAFTA winning hit series Broadchurch. His other credits include BAFTA nominated The Great Train Robbery, United, Law & Order: UK, Life on Mars and Torchwood. Chris Chibnall’s debut season will launch in 2018.
Chris Chibnall, new Head Writer and Executive Producer: “Doctor Who is the ultimate BBC program: bold, unique, vastly entertaining, and adored all around the world. So it’s a privilege and a joy to be the next curator of this funny, scary and emotional family drama. I’ve loved Doctor Who since I was four years old, and I’m relishing the thought of working with the exceptional team at BBC Wales to create new characters, creatures and worlds for the Doctor to explore. Steven’s achieved the impossible by continually expanding Doctor Who’s creative ambition, while growing its global popularity. He’s been a dazzling and daring showrunner, and hearing his plans and stories for 2017, it’s clear he’ll be going out with a bang. Just to make my life difficult.”
Charlotte Moore, Controller, BBC One says: “I want to thank Steven Moffat for everything he has given Doctor Who – I’ve loved working with him, he is an absolute genius and has brought fans all over the world such joy. I will be very sad to see him leave the show but I can’t wait to see what he will deliver in his last ever series next year with a brand new companion. I have decided to schedule Steven’s big finale series in Spring 2017 to bring the nation together for what will be a huge event on the channel. 2016 is spoilt with national moments including the Euros and Olympics and I want to hold something big back for 2017 – I promise it will be worth the wait! I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome Chris Chibnall, a wonderfully talented writer who I know will bring something very special to the hit series.”
Polly Hill, Controller, BBC Drama Commissioning says: “Like Charlotte I would like to thank Steven for his brilliance, which has made Doctor Who a global hit under his tenure. Chris Chibnall is the perfect successor to take over the reins of this incredible show, so I am delighted that his love for Doctor Who has made it impossible for him to resist! Chris is an incredible writer and his vision and passion for Doctor Who gives it an exciting future and promises to be a real treat for Doctor Who fans across the world.”

From tvshowsondvd.com: Doctor Who – North American Package Art for ‘Story #032: The Underwater Menace’
The 2nd Doctor’s adventure comes to DVD in USA/Canada on March 1st
Posted by David Lambert 1/13/2016
The TARDIS lands in the lost city of Atlantis, where the crazed Professor Zaroff has convinced the Atlanteans that he can raise their city from beneath the sea. But the Doctor (Patrick Troughton) discovers the terrible truth behind Zaroff’s plan: he intends to destroy the entire planet. With the doomsday clock ticking, the Doctor and his companions must battle to prevent the apocalypse…
Our most recent update about the North American release of Doctor Who – Story #032: The Underwater Menace – posted in early December – was to tell you that the release date for this title in the USA and Canada appeared to have been finalized at March 1st . That continues to be the date, much to the relief of this fan of classic Who (me); we’ve waited quite long enough!
Now the folks at BBC Home Entertainment have released a “back of the box” description for the item, quoted above (in italics), and a first look at the package art for this long-awaited DVD set (see below). It’s a single-disc release, priced at $24.98 SRP. There were several extras included as bonus materials on the UK version of the title, and while it’s expected that those will be included on the American release as well, the BBC hasn’t confirmed that for certain yet. So in an abundance of caution, we’re holding off on listing those; stay tuned for updates!

BBC AMERICA’S Doctor Who Season 9 Premiere Breaks Records with Double Digit Growth Across All Key Demos Published: September 22, 2015
Season Debut is Series’ Biggest Ever Among Adults 18-49
“Doctor Who” Ranks Among Top 10 Returning Cable Drama Premieres This Season Among Adults 18-49
“Doctor Who” is The #1 Social Drama of The Week
New York – September 21, 2015 – BBC AMERICA’s Doctor Who rang in season 9 with a bang, delivering double digit growth from season 8 across all key demos in live plus same day ratings. The premiere episode ranks as Doctor Who’s biggest season premiere ever in the Adult 18-49 demo, which nearly doubled the season 8 average. The season debut also saw increased social engagement versus last season’s premiere, and reigned as the most social drama of the night and week leading into the premiere.
“Doctor Who is unlike anything else on television, a storied franchise that is as fresh and contemporary as ever, with brilliant writing and superb performances,” said Sarah Barnett, President of BBC AMERICA. “We couldn’t be more thrilled that new and returning Doctor Who fans tuned into the live premiere in record numbers and we look forward to bringing more of the Doctor to this passionate audience.”
Live + Same Day Ratings Highlights*:
The premiere telecast delivered 2 million total viewers and 1.1 million Adults 18-49. Among A18-49, Doctor Who propelled BBC AMERICA to #3 in its timeslot, out-delivering the big 4 broadcast networks and ranking only behind college football on ESPN and the finale of Sábado Gigante on Univision.
In the A18-49 demo, Doctor Who is now one of just 14 dramas on TV this season to show any growth from its prior season premiere (out of 100+ returning dramas).
The A18-49 audience ranks as Doctor Who’s biggest season premiere ever on BBC AMERICA, nearly doubling the S8 average (+95%). In the demo, episode 901 ranks among the top 10 returning cable drama premieres this season, beating Homeland, Suits and The Strain, among others.
All tracked demos showed increases from the season 8 average with the most significant increases seen among the younger demos, most notably P12-24 (+186%) and P18-34 (+161%).
The episode reigned as the #1 most social drama of the night based on ListenFirst’s Digital Audience Ratings for Television. It was the #1 TV brand on Tumblr, the #1 drama on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube and the #2 drama on Instagram, following The Walking Dead. It was also the #1 most social drama of the week.
Episode 901 garnered larger social engagement than the most recent season premieres of Scandal, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, True Detective, Outlander, Glee, and The Flash, among others.
In the newest season of Doctor Who, the Doctor and Clara embark on reckless adventures in all of space and time. In Peter Capaldi’s second season at the helm of the TARDIS, the series sees the Doctor and Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) going on a journey that takes them to deadly alien planets, creepy underwater bases, Viking villages, a global Zygon uprising, and through hidden alien dens, to the very end of time itself.
Meeting monsters old and new, the Doctor will come face to face with Missy (Michelle Gomez), a city of Daleks, deadly mercenaries called the Mire, terrifying ghosts and more.
Previously announced and taking up a guest role in the new season will be Maisie Williams, having already achieved global success for her role as Arya Stark in Game of Thrones. Michelle Gomez (Missy) returns to plague the Doctor and Clara in the season opener, and UNIT are back with Jemma Redgrave (Kate Stewart) and Ingrid Oliver (Osgood) returning following their popular entrance last season. Also confirmed as guest cast in the new season are Reece Shearsmith, Rebecca Front, Rufus Hound, Paul Kaye, Elaine Tan, Neet Mohan, Bethany Black, Paul Courtenay Hyu, Joivan Wade and Sophie Stone.
The new season has been written by lead writer Steven Moffat, Toby Whithouse, Jamie Mathieson, Peter Harness, Mark Gatiss, and new writers to Doctor Who – Sarah Dollard and Catherine Tregenna; directed by Hettie Macdonald, Daniel O’Hara, Ed Bazalgette, Daniel Nettheim, Justin Molotnikov, Rachel Talalay; and produced by Tracie Simpson, Derek Ritchie, Nikki Wilson and Peter Bennett. Doctor Who is a BBC Cymru Wales production for BBC One, co-produced with BBC AMERICA.

From tvshowsondvd Doctor Who – Early Blu-ray and DVD Cover Art Found for ‘The 9th Series, Part 1’
Not officially announced by the BBC yet, but Amazon shows a November 3rd street date
A few weeks back we reported that a pair of pre-order listings at Amazon.com was showing off a November 3rd availability date for Doctor Who – The 9th Series, Part 1 on both Blu-ray Disc and standard DVD. Those listings have now been updated to show the package art for both of these 2-disc set, and we’re passing those images along to you today. Please keep in mind, however, that these may not be finalized yet, and could be subject to change:
From tvshowsondvd Doctor Who – Further Developments About the ‘Dark Water/Death In Heaven’ 3DBD
3D Blu-ray release is apparently timed to come out directly after a VERY brief theatrical engagement
Two weeks ago we had the scoop that on September 22nd, BBC Home Entertainment will release a 3D Blu-ray Disc (“3DBD”) of Doctor Who – Dark Water/Death In Heaven. Our source in Canada’s home video industry is still maintaining this information, with no changes or additions so far. But this past Tuesday it became clear that this item is a quick follow-up to a theatrical event involving the same two episodes. Here’s a reminder of those episodes, which together closed out the 8th season of the current program (which is Peter Capaldi’s first season as the 12th Doctor):
“Dark Water” -In the mysterious world of the Nethersphere, plans have been drawn. Missy is about to come face to face with the Doctor, and an impossible choice is looming… ‘Death is not an end’, promises the sinister organisation known only as 3W – but, as the Doctor and Clara discover, they might wish it was.
“Death in Heaven” -With Cybermen on the streets of London, old friends unite against old enemies and the Doctor takes to the air in a startling new role. Can the mighty UNIT contain Missy? As the Doctor faces his greatest challenge, sacrifices must be made before the day is won.
A few days ago, BBC Worldwide’s North America division, in conjunction with Fathom Events, announced that they would bring these episodes to selected theaters on Tuesday, September 15th and Wednesday, September 16th, at 7:30 PM local time for each theater, for a VERY limited theatrical engagement. They will be presented in RealD 3D, and in Dolby Atmos sound (where available). There will also be a pair of exclusive extras:
“The event will feature The Doctor’s Meditation – a special prequel scene to the first episode of season nine – and an exclusive interview with DOCTOR WHO stars Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman, hosted by Wil Wheaton (Big Bang Theory, Star Trek: Nemesis), in addition to the two-part season eight finale.”
If you’re interested in attending, you can purchase tickets beginning today, July 31st, from FathomEvents.com. It may not be available local to you, however (for example, there are no engagements scheduled at all in the city where I live).
Note that the “extras” for this theatrical showing include a prequel scene to the beginning of Doctor Who’s ninth season…which premieres on BBC America the following Saturday, September 19th. And in which the BBC America trailer clearly shows the return of “Missy”…as well as other fun stuff throughout the season, including a guest appearance by Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams (“Arya Stark”). There’s no word if the 3D Blu-ray release of Doctor Who – Dark Water/Death In Heaven the following Tuesday will contain either of these extras. It’s probable, however, that the BBC would save those for the eventual Season 9 set.
Again, the 3DBD release for Dark Water/Death In Heaven still hasn’t been formally announced by BBC Home Entertainment as of this writing, but please stay tuned for updates!
Fantastic! ‘Doctor Who’ showrunner promises at least 5 more years of time and space
The Doctor and River Song Reunite For A Spectacular Christmas! Published: September 2, 2015
Alex Kingston returns for the Doctor Who Christmas Special on BBC AMERICA
New York – September 2, 2015 – Announced today, Alex Kingston returns to reclaim her role as Professor River Song for the highly anticipated 2015 Doctor Who Christmas special, premiering on Christmas Day on BBC AMERICA.
It’s Christmas Day in the future and the TARDIS is parked on a snowy village street, covered in icicles, awaiting its next adventure. Time traveller River Song meets her husband’s new incarnation, in the form of Peter Capaldi, for the first time this Christmas.
Filming the eleventh Doctor Who Christmas special starts this week and is written by lead writer and executive producer, Steven Moffat, produced by Nikki Wilson and directed by Douglas Mackinnon (Doctor Who, Sherlock).
River Song made her first Doctor Who appearance in 2008 in Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead and has appeared in 15 episodes to date.
Award-winning Alex Kingston comments on her reappearance: “To be honest, I did not know whether River would ever return to the show, but here she is, back with the Doctor for the Christmas special. Steven Moffat is on glittering form, giving us an episode filled with humor and surprise guest castings. I met Peter for the first time at Monday’s read-through, we had a laugh, and I am now excited and ready to start filming with him and the Doctor Who team. Christmas in September?, why not!”
Steven Moffat, lead writer and executive producer adds: “Another Christmas, another special for Doctor Who – and what could be more special than the return of Alex Kingston as Professor River Song. The last time the Doctor saw her she was a ghost. The first time he met her, she died. So how can he be seeing her again? As ever, with the most complicated relationship in the universe, it’s a matter of time …”
The witty line-up of guest cast joining Alex for a magical adventure on the TARDIS will be announced over the coming months.
The BBC Cymru Wales produced drama will return to BBC AMERICA on Saturday, September 19 with a 12 episode season, followed by the Christmas special on Friday, December 25.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[soft dramatic music]

Thanks.

You get settled in OK?

Yeah, room is comfortable. And there’s a view of the Lincoln Memorial, although I didn’t get a bit of sleep.

Me neither.

I think I’m worried about what we might find out. [somber music] Did you have any luck scheduling a time with Shane? 1

No. His subordinates have been giving me the runaround, and my sister-in-law’s gone radio silent too.

What? Another dead end?

Well, not necessarily. I have a couple of buddies who might be able to get us into the ISA building. It’s not a guarantee.

No, no, no, but that’s–that’s a start.

Yeah. 2

But if Shane is going to think he can keep John’s whereabouts from me, he’s– he’s got another thing coming.

Yes, I, uh– I just received the report. And I’m sorry to say, it’s as grave as we feared.

Come on, Dad, pick up. [line trilling] [beep] Voicemail. Damn. Uh, hi, Dad. I’ve been trying to call you since last night. It’s about Tate’s other grandfather. Please call me back. God, why does it feel like I’m the last person that he wants to deal with?

What can I say? You seem to bring that out in all of us. [tense music] 4

Morning, sleepyhead.

Oh, good morning. [yawns] Man, I don’t know how I slept so late.

Mm. I can. Yesterday was pretty intense.

Yeah. I guess the Joy situation was weighing heavier on me than I realized. I really crashed.

Mm. [gentle music] Well, the good news is, it’s over. Joy is not pregnant, and we can all move on with our lives. [knocking on door] [groans] [tense music]

Hey, Steph. Is my baby daddy home? 6

No. No. [gasping]

Steph? What’s wrong?

It was a–it was a nightmare, that’s all.

You want to talk about it?

It was about Joy, that she was pregnant after all.

Oh. It was just a bad dream. It’s OK.

[exhales deeply]

Joy told us herself that the test results were a false alarm. Hey, she’s not pregnant. OK? [gentle music]

[tense music]

Joy! What’s this?

Uh.

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

This? I, uh–I passed a blood drive on the way here, and, uh, I decided to donate. [chuckles nervously]

Well, I guess that explains your sudden attack of nerves.

I know you were burning the midnight oil, so I surprised you with some breakfast from the pub.

You arranged my calendar, like, four weeks in advance right after your orientation. You got half a dozen virtual meetings on the books with those investors in Singapore, which, come on, the time difference. Talk about an impressive start. Joy, I am so glad you’re working here at Titan.

I wish I could say the same. [melancholy music]

I have to admit, I’m very relieved that Joy isn’t pregnant.

Why wouldn’t you be? I am too, obviously. [somber music]

What?

I don’t know. I just feel– I don’t know–selfish for thinking about how all of this worked out for me.

Why would that be selfish? If this baby happened, it wouldn’t have just screwed things up between you and me. Steph, Joy didn’t want a baby right now either. My God, especially not with somebody who is committed to somebody else. This was the best outcome, the best thing for everyone, not just you.

Yeah, I know that.

Like I said last night… if the baby did happen, I would have done what I needed to do for the both of them, but I would never have let that come between you and I.

I mean, I just feel like we’ve gone through so much together, Steph.

Yeah.

You know? We survived it all. And we’re stronger for it. Nothing’s gonna come between us.

What the hell are you doing here, Theresa?

Well, you know, it’s such a lovely day, I decided to go out for a stroll and window shop.

Window shop?

I’m sorry, did I miss the memo on somebody making you the hall monitor of Horton Town Square?

You know what I’m talking about. What are you doing out of prison?

Ooh, hall monitor and investigative journalist. Look, I’m sorry. I don’t have time for this. 15

You’re not going anywhere. I’m calling the cops.

OK, do you see an orange jumpsuit? Do you see a frenzied gaze? [in British accent] I’m not on the lam. [in normal voice] I got released.

Released?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, your father must have pulled some strings–

No, my father–

Because there’s no other way you’d be out so soon after kidnapping my daughter.

I’m sorry about that, really. It wasn’t right, obviously. But Victoria was gone, like, what, an hour?

She could have been gone for all of a commercial break. It’s still kidnapping, Theresa.

Look, there were no backdoor deals, no greasy palms. This was the justice system at work. I have paid my debt to society.

Well, you haven’t paid your debt to me.

Johnny, uh, listen. I heard Kate told you what happened between your parents before you were born. And I just want to say I am so sorry I wasn’t more direct with you. Started to tell you then left you hanging, and that wasn’t fair. But I was just so worried about hurting you. Listen, now that you know, if you need to talk, I’m here. I am here, and I would like that. I love you, kiddo, and I am so very proud to be your grandfather. [tender music]

[mellow country music]

Everything OK?

Oh, just a little family drama. Can’t really get into it. OK, let’s get down to business here, huh?

OK. First off, I know I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating. I’m so grateful to you, Roman, really, for helping me get the whole of Salem behind this fundraiser.

Well, if it keeps the lights on at the hospital, it’s a good cause, although I do have to admit I’m a little insulted I wasn’t asked to be part of the bachelor auction.

Maybe because you’re not a bachelor. And I can’t imagine Kate would be very happy with that.

Yeah, I guess no cause is that worthy, is it?

No, no, mm-mm.

Listen, why don’t you let me take one of those committees off your hands?

No, no, really. You know, I think I have it covered. I mean, I’m courting the big donors, I filed permits with Mayor Price’s office, and I’m coordinating PR with Stephanie

Sounds like you’re burning the candle at both ends. Look, you do have a day job, and it’s pretty demanding.

No, I’m OK, really. I mean, I’m obviously highly motivated.

Trying to distract yourself from thinking about John, aren’t you?

Yeah, there’s that. I just pray to God that Shane can tell Steve and Marlena something, anything about what happened to him.

No, of course, I understand why you feel we shouldn’t go public with this right away. No, I do, I hear you, but there are folks out there who have a right to know. I just don’t know if I’m comfortable with keeping this– [door clicks] [tense music] I’m gonna have to call you back. What is this?

We want answers, Donovan.

And we’re not leaving until we get them.

Under any other circumstances, I’d say it’s good to see you both. But bursting into a federal director’s office without warning, you’re– you’re lucky I didn’t shoot you.

It was a chance we had to take. 24

And how did you get past my assistant anyway? Oh, don’t tell me. Dr. Evans hypnotized him.

I still have connections in this building, Shane.

I told him I was feeling a little faint, and so he went to get me a glass of water.

[scoffs] So I’m half right. The esteemed psychiatrist weaponized human nature.

I’m not sure “weaponized” is the right word to use.

All right, so to what do I owe the pleasure? 25

The pleasure? This is not a social visit. We are here to get some answers, like I want to know where my husband is.

I’ve already told you everything I know, Marlena, which is that John’s handlers lost track of him some weeks ago.

But that’s not the whole story, is it? Now, tell us what this mission was that John was sent on before he went MIA.

I will never forgive you for what you did to my little girl. To say nothing of you trying to cheat me out of my birthright.

Tried in vain, I should point out. My plan went belly up. And guess who lost everything?

Oh, cry me a bloody river.

Whereas you, Victor’s heir apparent, you got Titan and everything else. [tense music]

But maybe not everything. Huh. You know, maybe my sentence should have gotten a few months knocked off of it, since I technically only conned you out of half of your birthright. Tell me, how does that feel, knowing that you have to share your big, fat inheritance with Philip? 28

Do you regret coming to work here at Titan? It’s OK if you–

No, no, of course not. Please, just forget I said anything.

Look, I know it’s not as glamorous as being a soap star.

No. Oh, my God, no. It is–it’s nothing like that. I–I like working here. And I am beyond grateful that you took a chance on me when I was in need of a gig and without much of a dazzling resume.

Then what’s the problem?

Um, I guess I’m just afraid that my presence here at the office might cause some issues. [soft dramatic music] What I mean is, it’s gonna be weird working here with your cousin. And honestly, the last thing I want to do is cause any trouble for Alex and Stephanie.

Why would you be causing trouble for them?

[sighs] Hey, I’m–I’m sorry if it seems like I’m… borrowing trouble, as my mom would put it. I just–I guess I– [soft music] I feel so used to things always going wrong, that– that somehow it feels off when everything works out.

Mm.

You know what a therapist once told me? And that would be none other than Dr. Marlena Evans. Just because a feeling is uncomfortable, it doesn’t mean that it’s bad. It’s just unfamiliar.

Right. I like that.

Why don’t we just stop paying attention to all the noise, and instead just focus on our future together? Because that is all I want, truly, more than anything. 32

I want that too. [gentle music]

Sis, listen, I have every confidence that Steve and Marlena are gonna shake something out of Shane.

Yeah, but what– what if that something isn’t the answer that we want? [somber music] I mean, what if something’s really happened to him? I’m just–I just wonder if– I mean–oh.

That thought has crossed my mind too.

How could it not? When I heard that Marlena got that call, my heart just sank. Getting a call like that is my worst nightmare. Picking up the phone and hearing that my husband is not coming home to me or our family– You know, just last summer, Steve and I really got into it about all this, you know? You know, you remember when Clyde was on the run?

Mm-hmm.

Steve and Chad were gonna get on a jet and track down this criminal– without telling me, mind you. And then when I did find out, I pleaded with him to not go, to stop, just stop, and pass the torch on to somebody else, you know? Let somebody else be the hero.

How did that play out for you, sis? 35

Very funny. He said–no, he promised, actually, that he would never go away without telling me again. But as far as letting somebody else save the day, it’s not in his nature.

Well, I guess that is what my sisters get for marrying ISA agents. You and Kimberly knew what you were signing up for. So did Steve.

Of course we did. But sooner or later, this life catches up with you. And I just pray to God that it hasn’t caught up to John already.

I shouldn’t have to tell you, Steve, of all people, that mission details are strictly on a need-to-know basis. Look, I–I honestly wish there was more I could do.

But there is. [intriguing music] You can tell us where John was last seen, and we’ll start an investigation of our own.

Damn right we will. And if the ISA will not bring my husband home, then I will do it.

What goes on at Titan is none of your concern, Theresa.

Oh. [chuckling] Oops. Looks like I maybe just hit a nerve. Is that just eating you up inside, knowing that you’re only half the heir that you thought you were?

You know, I suppose I can forgive you for being out of the loop, given the dearth of sunlight, lack of broadband, et cetera, while you were so deservedly locked up. You should know that partnering with Philip has been an extremely positive experience for both of us.

Wow, and they call me a liar. 39

I’m being completely honest. Look, I’ll admit that I was none too keen on the prospect of sharing the CEO title at first, male ego and all that. But over the past few weeks, Philip has really stepped up to the plate. He’s got some cutting-edge ideas, things I wouldn’t have thought of by myself. We sort of complement one another.

Uh, wow. [gasps] Excuse me for being taken aback. Actually, shocked is the right word here. You’re saying that this go around, you’re actually happy that Victor’s letter cost you your birthright?

I am, actually, because, as I say, turns out Philip and I are quite compatible. Dare I say, we even bring out the best in each other. And because, unlike the letter you tried to pass off, the one Philip found is the real deal. [tense music]

Look, I know my playboy cousin hasn’t always been the bastion of maturity, propriety, what have you, but I think he can handle working with an ex. Unless there’s something still going on between you.

No, no. Alex and I, we are over. We are finished. I guess, I just– I worry that my presence here will be a constant reminder to Alex and Stephanie that Alex and I once had a thing and that it’ll only get worse with time.

Joy, take it from me, these situations usually get better with time.

Well, that’s not what happened with Johnny and Chanel. I really thought eventually that would get better with time, and it did not. I was the town pariah for months, and to this day, still dealing with the fallout of all of that. So–

I’m sorry to hear that, but the way I see it, Johnny was the bad actor. He was the one who did Chanel dirty, the same way Alex didn’t do right by you. Listen to me, Joy, no one should be blaming you because two men didn’t know how to act with integrity. You don’t have to take on this burden.

If only that were true.

What do you mean by that? [tense music]

There’s something that I haven’t told Alex yet, something that will change everything.

I think I know what this is about.

You do?

You still have feelings for Alex, don’t you? 45

Feelings for– no, no, believe me–

Listen, I don’t like you feeling like you have to quit your job just to spare someone else’s feelings. So before you do something drastic, maybe you should go talk to him.

Talk to Alex?

Yeah, hash things out, clear the air, so to speak. At the very least, you two can get on the same page, and from there, decide how to proceed, with everyone having all the, you know, necessary information.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe you’re right.

Listen, I have to head over to the pub. I have a visit with my mom. And think about what I said. Sometimes it’s best when these things are out in the open. [soft dramatic music] [Stephanie moaning]

What was that move, mister? 47

What move?

Come on, you know what I’m talking about, the one with the– [whispering]

Oh, that move?

Mm-hmm.

Mm.

Yeah.

You do know a magician can never reveal his secrets?

Mm. [gasps] Oh, shoot, shoot, shoot. I was supposed to meet my mom for a meeting about how to “Save the Hospital” campaign, and I’m supposed to be there, like, right now.

Babe, you’re already late. What’s a few more minutes?

Oh, my God.

It’s OK.

OK, you, sir, are trouble. And this is your second day at Titan. Do you want to also be later than you already are?

I think I got a little leeway. I was pretty much brought into the inner circle last night.

Oh, yes. That’s right, that’s right, the top-secret meeting back at the mansion.

Mm-hmm. Does it bother you that I can’t tell you about it?

If I had overcome my demons just a few months sooner, it would have changed everything. My dad would have left me in charge.

That is pure speculation, and you know that will is solid, meaning you stole half the company from Xander.

Well, he deserved to have it stolen from him. I mean, it’s not like Xander is some upstanding guy either.

That is irrelevant. Damn it, Philip, I never would have done PR for you had I known that you were trying to pull this scheme. You used me. No, I understand. Sometimes when it comes to family business, well, that’s the way it goes. There will have to be secrets between us. [soft dramatic music]

Do I really need to spell out the difference between your malicious lies, your chicanery, and finding out my father’s true wishes? God, you’re even more delusional than I thought.

I’m sorry. [soft dramatic music]

I regret–I– I deeply, deeply regret ever getting mixed up with Konstantin. You did not deserve to get caught in that crossfire. Neither did Maggie.

Let me make something very clear. You and I won’t have a problem, Theresa, as long as you stay away from Maggie and Sarah and Victoria. Understood?

Loud and clear.

Good.

Hell of a way to start the day. [line trilling Come on, Dad, pick up.

Shane, I know you think that the fate of the world rides on every mission, but John is my world. He is his children’s world. He is his grandchildren’s world. So I am going to bring him home. Now, either you can help me, or you can get out of my way. But I will not stop. I will find him. Shane. Shane, wouldn’t you do this for the person you love? [somber music]

You’ll know I’ll deny I ever did, but this much I can share with you. John’s handler lost track of him in Estonia.

[gasps] Thank you.

And that’s it? There’s nothing else we need to know?

Again, I am not authorized to tell you anything about John, but that’s all I know.

Well, I guess that will have to do. I’m leaving. [soft dramatic music]

Thank you, Shane.

So tell me, how did you do it?

How did I do what? 57

How did you find peace in letting go of your badge to man the bar? I mean, you have any tips that I can use on Steve?

No, I don’t. It just came time where, you know, I realized that saving the world meant nothing if I couldn’t save my own family. But you two seem to have a very well-adjusted brood. Speaking of which, there is the golden girl.

Ah, Beauty. 58

Hi, Mom.

Hello.

Hi. Oh. Uncle Roman.

[chuckles]

Hi. What’s going on? Is everything OK?

Yeah, yeah, we’re just– we’re just worried about John.

Hey, Philip.

Hey there. Roman. Kayla. Steph.

Hi, Philip.

So is my mother around?

No, you just missed her. She went to Chicago, visiting Cassie.

Ah. I was hoping to catch her, have a little visit.

Well, I’ll tell her you stopped by.

Thanks. [mellow country music]

Steph, do you have a second to talk? In private, if that’s OK.

Oh, yeah. No problem with me.

Excuse us, Mom.

Yeah. Maybe you’re right. Maybe if we didn’t have such solid kids, Steve would’ve had to pack it in a long time ago.

Yeah, well, be careful what you wish for. Sis, you have noticed who Steph is dating?

Oh, don’t you start.

Look, all I’m saying is, wherever Alex Kiriakis goes, drama is sure to follow. [soft rock music]

Theresa.

Alex. 62

They released you?

Uh-huh. Um, look, Alex, I’m sure you’ve got a lot of stuff to say to me right now, but I just had a run-in with Xander, and so if this is gonna be another pile on, I really can’t–

It’s not. Obviously, I don’t admire the things you did last year, but I moved on. I’m happy now with Stephanie. 63

Ste–my cousin? You guys are back together?

Yeah, yeah.

Wow, I really have to hand it to you Kiriakis boys. You sure do like to keep things in the family.

[chuckles sarcastically]

Sorry. Sorry. That was gallows humor. It’s how I cope with being persona non grata now. 64

I get it. You know, Theresa, I really do hope things work out for you.

Really?

Really. Not that this is even remotely in the same league as what you did, but you know, when everybody thought that I was Victor’s son, I became a jerk to everyone, especially my father. Not to mention I just recently ended a relationship very poorly.

Yeah, yeah, you’re right. That is so not in the same league.

Uh-huh. No. [soft dramatic music] All I’m saying is, I know firsthand that people can make bad choices and learn from them. So I really do hope things turn around for you, Theresa.

Thank you, Alex.

And I want you to know I– I wish you the very best with Stephanie. I hope nothing gets in the way of your happiness. [tense music]

Out in the open, huh? What do you think, kiddo? Can Alex and Stephanie handle the truth?

What do you want, Philip? [tense music] 67

Just to see how things are going with Alex.

Ah, right. Well, things are going well. Really well, in fact. And as I’m sure you know, Alex was really excited about his first day at Titan.

I’m glad to hear it.

Mm-hmm.

And we wouldn’t want to do anything to jeopardize that, would we? 68

Oh, I see. That’s what you wanted to talk about.

Listen, I’m the co-CEO of a multinational corporation. I have a duty to my shareholders, my employees, and myself, which means I need to know if you’re planning to blow up everyone’s lives. So I’m asking you… Are you going to tell Alex that I forged Victor’s letter?

Did I tell you that Maggie called me last night?

Hmm.

She offered to buy coffee for the whole hospital staff until this financial crisis is over.

Oh, that’s very generous of her.

Yeah, except it’s gonna be a bear organizing this thing. So, you know, I was just wondering, maybe if you could help me out until Kate gets back.

I know what you’re doing, brother of mine. You are trying to distract me, and I do appreciate it. 70

Did I succeed?

No, not really, but I do love you for it.

Look, I know it’s hard. I worry about John too. But if I were a betting man, I would wager that Shane came up with something useful. And also, over the years, I’ve– I have learned that when Steve and Marlena form a united front, it is best not to underestimate them.

OK, I’ll get those flights booked. I think there’s a layover in Helsinki. But with any luck, we should be in Estonia by early morning. That is, if we think Shane was telling us the truth.

I think that he was. I mean, his–his expression, his body language. I don’t think he was lying, but–

But what? [tense music]

I think he might have been holding something back. I think there is something he doesn’t want us to know.

[line trills] [phone rings]

Finally, Dad. God, I have to admit, I was starting to feel a little ghosted.

Yeah, I’m– I’m sorry, Jeannie. The truth is, I– I was a bit distracted. 73

Oh? With what?

Well, I’ve just received some rather devastating news.

You know, next time, why don’t you skip the pleasantries and just get straight to it?

OK. Then let me ask again. [clears throat] Are you or are you not going to tell your boyfriend that I forged my father’s letter? [tense music]

You know I don’t like any of this. But I’m also shrewd enough to know that if the truth were to come out, it would cause a lot of suffering for everyone.

Music to my ears– your shrewdness, that is. So just to get on the same page, we’re never going to tell Alex about any of this–

No.

Right? 75

It’ll be our little secret.

Hey.

Hey. I was just stopping by to see if Philip was here, but I guess he’s not. I’m glad I ran into you though.

You are? [soft music]

I want to apologize about last night, when you stopped by with the news about the pregnancy test. I realize I could have handled that a lot more gracefully. Stephanie and I, we didn’t mean to upset you, Joy. We know you’re going through a lot.

Thank you.

Well, then, I guess when Philip gets back, just please tell him I stopped by.

Alex, wait. Um… There’s something that I need to tell you.

[suspenseful music]

Interview with Katherine McNamara

Posted on March 17, 2025March 18, 2025 by TvMegasite Admin

TV Interview!

Interviews with Kat McNamara, director James Bamford and producer Steven Paul of the film “High Ground” by Suzanne 3/10 and 3/17/25

Here are two interviews…one I did with James Bamford and Steven Paul on March 10th, and one I did with Kat McNamara on March 17. I enjoyed speaking to all three of them.

Katherine (or “Kat” as she’s called) was great fun to chat with. I learned something today. She is not only beautiful and multi-talented, but she’s also very smart, kind and dedicated to making change in the world (as well as in her own life). I learned that from reading about her, as well as from speaking with her. I would have like to ask her about how she deals with actor’s disappointments (such as not getting the “Arrow” spinoff, or having her other show canceled after one season), but I’ll bet she handles them very well.

The director and producer have clearly been working on movies and TV shows for a long time. Bamford worked on “Arrow “, so he and Kat know each other very well. They also did some previous movies together. They were both very good about answering my questions.

“High Ground” is an action-packed modern western, but I noticed that it was also similar to some horror movies I’ve watched. Kat (“Arrow,” “Walker: Independence”) plays a local waitress, the girlfriend of the new sheriff, Jake (Charlie Weber, “How to Get Away With Murder”). Jake’s father, Ezra (Oscar-winner Jon Voight) is the old wise man who’s trying to help Jake become the great sheriff that he knows he can become. A stranger, played by Henry Thomas (“E.T.”, “The Fall of The House of Usher”) comes to town, arrested by the deputy for speeding. Some gangsters are hunting the stranger and are willing to do whatever’s necessary to get him. It’s an exciting movie, with amazing actors, and it’s worth watching if you like action films or westerns. It premieres tomorrow, 3/18/25, on various digital platforms and OnDemand. I prefer Amazon Prime, myself, but I’m sure it will be in other places as well.

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I want you to stay away from my wife. Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson. Can I get you something? That woman had the audacity, the sheer gall to show up to my home unannounced like a raging bull. I take full responsibility for my shameful behavior. We definitely won this round. So, you’re telling me you’re out here

sleeping with two guys?

I didn’t say that. Chels, I swear. [chuckles] Chill. It’s one guy and his wife. This video is incredible. Andre, were you…

about to kiss me?

[chuckles nervously] Andre? [stammers] I guess I need to work on my impulse control. Yeah, you do that. I have a boyfriend who I love very much. And your lack of impulse control must have come with a side of selective amnesia, because somehow you seem to manage to forget all about Derek. [door opening] Eva, what’s going on? Oh, Kat had a friend over for dinner earlier, and I had some things to finish up on my computer, but then I saw the way she left things, so I just wanted to pitch in and help out. Thanks, but it’s not your job to clean up after my daughter. My job is about making your life easier, which includes making sure you don’t come home to a mess. Since I have you here, would you mind helping me out with something else?

Anything.

I want to find a server from the awards banquet last night. Her name’s Sherry Carter. [huffs] Mm. Oh. [grunts] Ugh. Stop being so damn happy. Oh, crap. ♪ ♪ I mean it, babe. I’m gonna make it up to you for cutting our honeymoon short. I promise. In so many delicious ways. Hayley. Baby, are you sure you’re not disappointed that we left Italy early? I’m fine, Bill. But look at this traffic. We’re not moving at all. I just want to be home. What was I thinking? I can, I can refill this bottle with some other expensive wine. Bill would spot that in a heartbeat. And I can’t put the cork back in and the foil back on. [gasps] Please, please, please, please, please. Please, please, please. Okay. Thank God you’re there. Help!

Ashley, hear me out.

You can’t explain away trying to kiss me. But it didn’t happen. Look. Ashley, I’m sorry, it– That’s not an excuse, but… Look, what didn’t happen but almost happened, it was out of line, all right? And I’m sorry. [scoffs] Look, I don’t mean to overreact. I mean, nothing actually happened. But what almost happened cannot actually happen, Andre.

Yeah.

I love Derek. I know. I know. Okay. Look, I’m sorry. [elevator dings] [sighs] DEREK: Ash. [chuckles nervously] Additional sponsorship provided by…

Where did you come from?

From what is now my former hospital room. Can finally blow this place, babe. Came looking for you to give you the good news. Well, discharged patient or not, you cannot just get in a chair and wheel yourself around the hospital without assistance.

We have rules.

Yeah? Any rules against this?

Derek, Derek, Derek.

[laughs] Or how about rules against… …telling my girlfriend how much I love her. Dad? Pop. Don’t say anything to them. You can’t keep trying to deal with this by yourself. How was school? Same old. Come on, Samantha.

Back down here for homework.

SAMANTHA: Okay. Something’s off. You got that in less than ten words. When you know, you know. Um, Sherry with one “R” or two? Uh, two. Uh, if I hadn’t seen her name tag last night, I’d have no idea. I barely know her. Oh, okay. I’ll call the club. Hopefully they know how to track her down. I’ve never seen her at the club before, so she must have been extra staff that they brought in for the events banquet. I… It was such a surprise to see her like that. You mean you know her from somewhere else? We met a few days ago. The encounter was… memorable. I heard from one of the nurses about you talking a suicidal woman off the hospital roof. Was that her? I’m sorry, Eva. I can’t talk about the details of that incident. I get it. Um, I’ll make that call. Oh, and you should know that Sherry got fired from the gala that night and asked to leave the club. Oh, um, then I’m sure the banquet manager will remember her. NICOLE: I really want to make sure she’s all right. So if you need to drop my name to get a phone number or an address, do that. Okay. What the hell are you doing in your ex-husband’s new house? Is it Glorietta Interiors? You’d think Bill would get a new designer for the new wife.

Were you able to get everything?

Yes. And you don’t get to see a bit of it until you answer my questions. Why are you here? And what is with this strange and very specific shopping list? [gasps] Dani! This is Bill’s fault. The minute he took over that press conference and told the world how little I matter… Ugh. Consider the source. That man is not fit to kiss your Louboutins. You matter a hell of a lot more than he does. This is why you are my oldest– make that dearest– friend in the world. Same goes. What needs to be done? We have got to get everything back where it was. There cannot be one speck of evidence that can be used against me. Mm. Bill can be a force in the courtroom. Who cares about him? I fear the wrath of Anita Dupree. [exhales] What’s up with you two? Tyrell. You got something on your mind? No chatter, please. You guys are always honest about how quiet study habits are vital to getting into a good college. You’re both right. School is important, but so is family time. I’m in the middle of something. The sooner you share, the sooner you can get back to it. You first, Tyrell. Is everything good at school?

Well–

I got asked out today. To what and by whom? It doesn’t matter, since I’m the only 16-year-old in the DMV who’s not allowed to date. Samantha, we’ve already discussed this. Then it was a possibility. Today I had to turn down a crush material guy because I had to hit him with a no and a lame excuse because my two dads won’t let me go out with boys. That’s not only mad unfair, it’s humiliating. Do we even know this boy?

So not the point.

I disagree. Pop, you’re all about freedom.

[chuckles] I enjoy it.

Shouldn’t I have the same freedom to explore that all my friends have? What kind of “exploring” are we talking about here? SAMANTHA: Pop, don’t be cringe. That’s not what she meant. Come on. I just want to be clear what you’re talking about when you say you want to date these young, horny little bastards. Why are you taking it there? Because, Samantha, he’s a boy. And everyone except for you in this house knows exactly what that means. For me, it means hitting up a movie. That might not be so bad. With supervision, of course. Yeah, yeah. We could do like a double date. It would be a secret double date. Your pops and I would be seated a few rows behind you. We’d even pay for the popcorn. [muffled scream] [laughs] Okay, joking. I don’t think she has a sense of humor about this, Martin. But it might be time to rethink the no-dating rule. I think that it’s at least worth the discussion. Bet! Discuss it into a “yes” this time, please. No promises on the outcome. If I’m well enough to go home, I’m well enough to leave here on my own two feet. You have been around this place long enough to realize that it has rules. [chuckles] And you’re the queen of following rules. I know.

You should be glad I am.

Oh, yeah? Thought I was the only one coloring outside the lines today. What rule were you tempted to break, Nurse Perfect? Well, I had a highly illicit make-out session at this very nurse’s station just a little while ago. Did you now? I even ended up in a patient’s lap. Can you believe it? You bad, bad girl. Oh, I am. [weak chuckle] Those activities are frowned on around here. Breaking the rules like that, you must be in love. And who can object to that? Not me. [scoffs] Come on. Let’s get the man of my dreams out of here. Danielle Dupree, you are nothing if not consistent.

And that is not a compliment.

I will admit, I am an “act first, ask questions later” type of gal. You always say that when we’re in the middle of an impossible situation you created. Now is not the time, Pamela. We don’t have time to delve into the core of my personality. I can’t have Bill and Hayley get back from their stupid honeymoon and put together that I was here, or that I helped myself to their wedding present, or that I adjusted their wedding photo. Honey, you breaking in here was bad enough. Everything else is just cherries on top. I didn’t break in, per se. One of the security guards has a soft spot for me. And you batted those eyes at him? I’m very grateful for people like him and friends like you who I can turn to in a pinch. You’d do the same for me. [gasps] Oh! Voilà!

Miracle worker.

[laughs] Looks like a match to me. Right down to the vintage. What about the picture frame? Not even close. All we need is the glass in the frame. It’ll fit just like the one you broke.

I mean adjusted.

Great. Now, about that bow. I’m afraid I trashed the original one. Let me work my magic on that while you switch out the glass in the frame. Deal. Oh. There we go. It is a really good thing that you disconnected those security cameras when you waltzed in here. Your tracks should be covered. Mostly, anyway. Great. I need a nap. Oh, you need to get it together and fix things before Bill and Hayley come back. We’ve got time. Hayley’s probably still drooling over those cliché tourist attractions in Italy. BILL: Yes. Okay. That works out perfectly. All right. Thank you. What did you do? Just pulled some strings. Momentarily, we’ll have a police escort just beyond the next exit. Where we will find…?

Helicopter transport.

[gasps softly]

How did you pull that off?

[laughs] Well, I represented a city official in a particularly embarrassing lawsuit a few years back, and I won, of course. And he owed me a massive favor. Oh, my goodness. So…

We’ll be home real soon, okay?

Mm.

Thank you.

Of course. [sighs] EVA: Hi, yes. This is Dr. Nicole Richardson’s assistant,

and I’m calling from…

Hey, hon. Why are you trying to get in touch with that server from the gala? Do you know she was fired in the middle of the event? No. But are you sure? [doorbell rings] I’ll get that. So the banquet manager has already left for the day, and his assistant doesn’t have access to the employee records. But she’s going to try to reach him at home. NICOLE: Okay, that’s great. Hey, Aunt Nicole.

Eva.

Hey. We weren’t expecting you, Andre. Yeah, I got the proofs from the gala. Oh, they look spectacular.

That’s wonderful.

Yeah. Uh, I thought you were gonna have a messenger bring them by, though. Um, I was, but, um, I realized that I’d be in the neighborhood, so I figured I would bring them anyway. Uh, it was no trouble. Unless… did I interrupt something? No, of course not. And thank you for these. Um, Nicole, while you’re looking over the photos, I can finalize your schedule for tomorrow. Oh, you don’t have to do that this evening. It’s getting late. I kind of want to wait around anyway to see if we hear anything back from the banquet manager. Okay. Thanks.

[phone vibrates]

I’m sorry. I need to get this. Well, Andre, now that we have the room to ourselves, would you like to tell me the real reason you came by here tonight? [chuckles] To bring you the pictures. Try that on somebody that doesn’t know you as well as I do. Something is going on with you, so you might as well just tell me what it is. ASHLEY: Here we go. Why are we at your place instead of mine? You think I trust your roommates to take care of you? The guys are okay. They park me in my favorite chair with pizza and beer. Right, which is why you’re staying right here where I can look after you until I think you’re ready to be on your own. Ash, I’m fine. I don’t need to be babied. A building fell on top of you, Derek. And this isn’t babying.

Look, I’m not complaining.

Really? ‘Cause it kind of sounds like you are. No way.

I love your TLC.

Good. ‘Cause I like giving it. Look, we’re two years into this thing that we’re doing, and I think it’s going pretty well. That plan we laid out for ourselves is really coming together. I was thinking the same thing. I like the way things are going very much. Then maybe don’t fight me when I try to show you how much you mean to me. Maybe just relax and enjoy it when I want to show you how grateful I am that you’re here. And I’m here. And we’re here. Together. Let me get you something to drink. Wait, what are my choices? Water, milk, apple juice? How about a beer?

Best girlfriend ever.

Okay, wait. Don’t get too excited. It’s the nonalcoholic type. But Jacob swears it tastes like the real thing. Maybe second best girlfriend ever? [chuckles] [exhales] Boy. Hey. I could have sworn I set the security code before we left, babe. You just feel safe behind these gates. [chuckles]

Italy is beautiful…

Mm. …but I love it here, Bill. Let me put these bags away so we can get settled in. Okay. After all that, I could use another drink.

Want one?

Yes, please. Thank you. What the hell? BILL: Hayley? I never liked plain water. I bet that’s the smartest thing you’ve put in your system all day. With that and the aspirin, when you wake up tomorrow, you won’t have the slightest trace of a hangover. I owe you, Pamela. You saved my skin today. If you hadn’t have panicked, you would have been able to handle it all on your own. You nixed my nap and got us out ASAP even though Bill and Hayley are thousands of miles away. So smart to get it done and me out of there. I wasn’t in my right mind. Just do me a favor. If Bill and Hayley ever figure out that you busted into their place, leave my name out of it. I would never use your name as an accessory. I might need you to bail me out. What is it? What…? I don’t get it, babe. What’s wrong? This photo. I already thought it was weird at first because it wasn’t where I put it. I left it over there before, but then I just found it here on the mantel. Okay. And then when I picked it up and looked… See? There’s a deep scratch in the middle of the photo. It wasn’t there before. I’m sure of it. Okay. [chuckles] Babe, I see the scratch, but how could it have gotten there? Unless the glass broke somehow. But the glass isn’t broken. This just doesn’t make any sense. Okay, look, I have an idea. Why don’t we open this, and we can pour ourselves some superb wine and just relax, babe, okay? We’re just edgy from a long flight. We spent forever in traffic. When you’re tired, everything looks like a problem.

Maybe you’re right.

Yeah. You know? Tell you what. We’ll get a new one printed up to replace this one. It was probably just a defect that we didn’t notice before. But in the meantime, a glass of 1992 Château de La Colère will go down nicely right about now. Wait, Bill, stop. Babe, what is it, huh? Did the bottle move, too? No, but there was a beautiful inscription engraved on the back, remember? Celebrating us. It’s not there anymore. You see that? No sign of an inscription that made it such a special gift. Look, Bill, this isn’t tiredness talking. Something is wrong. Yeah, you’re right. Are you thinking what I’m thinking? The alarm was off… The scratched picture… The bottle of wine obviously replaced… BOTH: Dani. That bitch broke in here. She invaded our home. I’m gonna find her. She’s gonna wish she was never born. No. She’s mine. Yeah. If you hate it, I will run out and get you the real thing. It wouldn’t exactly necessarily not be good for you.

Maybe.

Ash. I don’t deserve a beer. I haven’t been appropriately grateful for all the love and affection you’ve been throwing my way. Don’t make a fuss. I like taking care of people. Hello? Nurse. Yeah, but a fuss is what you deserve. And I want to make sure I’m not sending you the wrong signal. I’m the luckiest guy in the world because I found you. And I never want you to doubt my feelings for you. I don’t. Good. And all your loving, all your caring, pour it all on me. Every drop. I can’t get enough of it. And you’re 100% right about our plan. It’s right on track. And I love where it’s going. Almost as much as I love you. Just know that you don’t have to run into a burning building to motivate me to show my love for you. Are you sure? Because with my job,

I have plenty of opportunities.

Absolutely sure. If you ever want more of my attention, all you have to do is… That. [chuckles softly] We both know that you didn’t have to bring these pictures over here tonight. They’re just a handy excuse, weren’t they? [scoffs] Auntie? Are you trying to shrink me? No. But now Auntie knows she’s right. Do you remember that conversation we had before you became a professional photographer? You were worried you were making a mistake. I practically had to pull it out of you with dental instruments. But we both knew that you needed to talk it out. So what is it this time? It’s Ashley. Haven’t we already talked about your leanings towards Ashley and how you should resist them? Yeah, I know, but I… I wanted to… I-I thought– I thought about kissing her. Actually, I almost did.

Andre.

Almost. Fortunately, she pulled back at the last minute. Thank goodness. Yeah, but she knew what I wanted to do.

And now she’s angry.

And she has the right to be. I’m just afraid to think what would have happened if I would have actually gone through with that. I hope you’re not here trying to get permission to pursue her because you’re not gonna get it from me. I know. Ashley is deeply in love with Derek and vice versa. And I know you know that because you have eyes. I know that. But what I don’t get is where are all these crazy attractions coming from? I knew Ashley long before she ever got together with Derek. And the idea of making a move on her never even occurred to me. So, why now, when she’s with somebody do I have this, this urge to…? Where does that come from? That’s not me. That– I don’t typically go for girls who already are attached. [sighs] And I can’t figure out why I did it this time. Or nearly did it. I think this is why you really came here tonight. You need someone to tell you you need to stay away from Ashley. No matter what impulse you’re feeling, you know they’re wrong. Besides, there are plenty of women out there besides Ashley. Yeah, there’s no shortage of pretty ladies, that’s for sure. Why don’t you stay a bit, join us for dinner. No, thanks. I’ve already interrupted enough of your night. You are never an interruption. [chuckles] Thank you, but… you gave me the kick in the butt that I need, and I’m over it. [chuckling] Thanks, Auntie. All right, I’ll let myself out. [relieved sigh] Andre leave? Is everything okay with him? Yeah, he just needed to get something off his chest. Well, he came to the right place for that. Actually, there’s something else that I need to talk about. Of course. Let me just finish up with Eva and track down this server. No, Nicole, you need to let that go.

Excuse me?

If that woman needs help, she needs to get it somewhere else. NICOLE: She absolutely needs help, Ted. She didn’t just happen to get a job at a gala that I was being honored at. Like Freud said, there are no coincidences. You’re right. There are no coincidences. But that’s why you need to stay far away from that woman. Hayley. I know it’s impolite to just drop by, but I wanted you to be the first to know that Bill and I are back. One of his cases went into overdrive, and he’s just crushed. He had to cut our honeymoon short after promising me the trip of a lifetime. But I don’t have to tell you. You were married to him long enough. Yes, I was. So here we are, home again. We landed just a little bit ago, actually. And I figured you’d rather I tell you personally instead of running into each other on the street. No one likes a rude surprise, am I right?

I don’t know anyone who does.

Hmm. Hayley, is this the only reason–? That I came by? Actually, there is one other thing. Oh, wow. You were really something. Thank you. It meant a lot to get that cover. Oh, well.

Hey!

Oops. What is going on? Are you crazy? One of us sure as hell is. And the crazy ends now, if you know what’s good for you. I know you were in my house, bitch. I know you drank our wine, and I know you smashed our wedding photo. You violated my space. You found your way in in that entitled, petty way that you have because you are just so obsessed with the life that Bill and I are making that you just can’t stay away. But you need to do that. Stay away, Dani. Stay far away and stop dwelling on us. You know, it’s only making you look like the pathetic witch that you are. And all it did was bring us to the breaking point. You and Bill? Mybreaking point. If you don’t leave us alone, I will get a restraining order against you. And if you violate it, I will have your ass thrown in jail and the charges won’t be dropped. You might have started on a high ground, painting me as the home-wrecker, but you violating my home, invading it, and destroying my things, that makes you the villain, Dani. Yeah, and then everyone will see you for the wack-job that you really are. I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Mm.

If you have evidence of these alleged actions, please, let’s have it. Otherwise, it’s just a steaming load of crap like your pathetic marriage. You can deny it all you want, but we both know the truth. Don’t try me again, Dani. You don’t want to see what happens when you do. Bye now. Damn it. Hey. It’s that time again. You know where I am. [scoffs] Dinner, everyone. Hurry, before it gets cold. [clears throat] Tyrell. Is there something you want to talk about? We talked to Samantha about dating, but we never got around to what was going on with our son.

I’m fine.

SMITTY: Really? You’ve always been quiet, but you’ve been keeping to yourself a little more lately. Except for those secret looks with your sister that you don’t think we notice. ‘Cause she wanted me to push the whole dating thing. Is that it? Are you sure? SMITTY: I remember what it was like when I was your age, and I wanted… wanted help with things, but I didn’t want to ask. Dad, I can handle it. Handle what? I’m having problems with calculus. I’m getting through them, though. You see? I told you. Nothing major. Now we can eat because starving the boy won’t help anyone. [sighs] NICOLE: Would you care to explain why you’re trying to tell me what to do? TED: What I mean is, she made you come up to the hospital roof. She only wanted to talk to you. So if she came to the gala on purpose, she wanted something more from you. Agreed. Which is why I need to find her. Look, Nicole, what I’m trying to say is this lady is fixated on you. I’m no psychiatrist, but I don’t think the right thing to do is for you to treat her. I mean, you’re not wrong if I’m part of her problem in some way. The thing is, Sherry needs help and I don’t think she’s getting it. TED: Whatever the situation, I think we both know and agree that you’re the wrong one to treat her. I’m sorry for coming on so strong. I just wanted to protect you. I appreciate that. Are you sure you’re okay? You’ve been through a lot the past couple of days. Are you checking to see if I’m strong enough? Just try me. Thanks for staying so late, Eva. Nicole values your time and dedication.

I’d do anything for her.

Good. Good. Oh, by the way, you don’t have to worry about looking for that woman from the gala again. Nicole has decided it’s best to just… let that go. Oh, if that’s what Nicole wants. Thanks. [scoffs] [phone vibrating] Hey. Are you okay?

I was starting to get worried.

Oh. You had nothing to worry about. And I’m glad you didn’t try to follow me. I had no problem tearing Dani a new one. Oh, Lord. We can breathe easy. Your evil ex won’t be bothering us anymore. Oh… Who is this woman before me? She bears little resemblance to my polite little wife. Oh, I’m the same woman that you married.

Mm-hmm.

I’m just done. And you know what? I think you would be proud of me because I’ve just been taking it and taking it in the name of making peace. But tonight, I stood up for myself, for the both of us.

[chuckling]

Mm-hmm. You know what? I am proud of you. And I am more than ready to be done with all of this. You know what? No more getting back at Dani for all the things that she’s done. Forget about her, right? We got better things to do and a life to build together. [both laughing, moaning] Mm. [pop music playing] I checked the time. It’s “never again” already.

So it is.

Yeah. You want something to drink? Uh, sure. What do you want? Surprise me. ♪ ♪ Damn buttons. Bad day? [sighs] Yeah, to put it mildly. You? Well… It was an adventure. You want to talk about it?

No.

[scoffs] No, I do not. [sighs]

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

All right. One lavender latte and one brownie. Thank you.

Is that Mariah?

Yeah. And I also spoke to Noah. And I hugged Faith so hard, I made her squeak. As worried as I was about myself when I was in that clinic, I was so much more worried about what the kids were going through, not knowing where I was. Only you, after going through something like that, would be worried about everyone else. Are you sure you’re cool here? Do you want to go home and get some rest? No. This is exactly where I want to be. Everyone is so happy and living their lives and free. And now I am, too. All because of you. Man, I cannot believe that Phyllis and Sharon have been held captive this whole time and that whoever did it gave you clues to find them. I mean, that’s like the strangest kidnapping I’ve ever heard of. You have no idea. Well, I also can’t believe that you just dove in and followed through on tracking them down. Well, when the picture of Phyllis and Sharon came through from the actual person who kidnapped them, there was no way that I wasn’t gonna do something about it. What if it had been a trap? If there was the slightest chance that I was able to save Phyllis, I was gonna do it.

Mom. Oh, my God!

Thank God.

My babies.

Oh, my gosh. We were going up to your room. I thought that you would be resting. Are you okay? I am now that I’ve seen you two. Yeah, we’ve been worried sick. What happened? All right, the ladies said they found a camera in here, so my guess is there’s gotta be more. They also said that this sicko was here while they were sleeping, so maybe he left a trail. I don’t know. We just gotta find it. Now, I know this place is trashed, but I want to fingerprint the surfaces and look for anything. Does not matter how small. Anything that could lead us to whoever did this. You know, I say we do the town, go big. I want to show the woman I love– What are you doing? What Phyllis and Sharon just went through– And, I mean, I just– I’m the jerk that assumed that Phyllis went rogue on me. You had no way of knowing. I didn’t give her the benefit of the doubt at all. I literally took her name out of the press release for our company. Who does that? Billy, do not blame yourself. I should have trusted her, Sally. I should have known that she wouldn’t just bail on me like that. She is committed to this company just as much as I am, and I thought that she just took off. I should have known that something was wrong, and I– I didn’t. Well, I assume whoever was holding Phyllis forced her to tell some bogus stories so that her friends and family wouldn’t come looking for her. And that worked too damn well. Man, I just– I keep thinking about how terrifying that it must have been for Phyllis and Sharon, and you. I’m really glad you’re okay. I’m just glad we got there when we did. Why is that? When we finally… broke into the building and found out where they were, the room was filled with gas. I mean, literally, if we were five minutes later, Phyllis and Sharon… would be dead. This might be a long shot, but I’m hoping we can find some prints that don’t belong to the victims. Now, if we can do that, we can at least ID whoever did this and get one step closer to explaining his connection to Phyllis and Sharon. Mmm. I did not realize how much I took things like this for granted until I was locked away. Twice. [sighs] Just being able to go out and enjoy this coffee or my brownie. I never thought about how fortunate I am, we are, to be able to simply live our lives or make the most basic choice until all control was taken completely out of my hands. To be that helpless for someone as strong as you, there’s nothing easy about that. It’s behind me now. And part of retaking control of my life is finding out who did this to Phyllis and me. Is it too soon to ask you if there’s anything you remember about this, something that could give us some clue as to who was behind it? Would you believe that at one point, we actually wondered if the kidnapper really was someone that we knew? Like one of our own kids. Why would you possibly think that? Because whoever was responsible for this, they just knew so much about Phyllis and me, about her history, our hatred, how that’s impacted our families, our kids. And the whole new level that was taken to when Heather was murdered. Being locked in that room, searching for answers, we just let our minds go there that one of our kids could be trying to teach us a lesson. Yeah, I get it. But the problem with that is none of our kids are capable of doing anything like that. No, of course. You’re right. I don’t know that we actually really believed that. We were just desperate to find an answer about who would want to force us to face our past, our demons, and all of the bad stuff that we’ve been through. Man, talk about some extreme therapy. It was more like an attempted exorcism. Was it successful? Food. Food is good. Mom, you have no idea how happy it’s made me seeing you devour that burger. Same. Mmm. This is great. And this right here is very medicinal. Mmm. [sighs] I love this ’cause I have a choice. I have a choice between, um, salad and fries, but it’s not really a choice because I’d take the fries. But, um, I like it because it’s not poison. Um, I’m sorry. Was there poison in your food? I am just– I’m so happy that I’m here– take my hand–with my babies. Mom. Hey, you don’t have to pretend like everything’s fine. Yeah, or try and protect us. We want to hear everything. Everything, from the beginning. How did this even happen? Um… I–I was minding my own business, and I– I woke up in, um– in an abandoned, uh, psychiatric clinic with Sharon. And we tried to find a way out, but, um, we couldn’t. Trust me, we tried. Listen, there was never any ransom demand. So what was the point of the kidnapping? Was it just, like, a sick game? I don’t know. Uh… The person who did it made it clear that it was more than a game, that it was some weird experiment and that Sharon and I had to work together to finally get free. Mom, this person hasn’t been caught yet. That means that you’re still in danger. I’m sorry. I, um– I wasn’t snooping, I promise. It’s just that your phone was making this very strange alert sound, and I thought there was something wrong, so I grabbed your phone to see if it was going to burst into flames or something. You hear stories about that sort of thing happening. And that’s when I saw the alert, this strange alert. “Security breach at clinic. Precautions enacted.” What? It is none of my business. Of course it isn’t. I’m just trying to help. Well, was it a gas leak? It was on purpose. He rigged the gas to start leaking if Phyllis and Sharon tried to escape. That’s insane. Well, I mean, it’s a miracle that you and Nick and Chance showed up when you did. I mean, at least it’s a happy ending. Oh, I agree. But it won’t be a happy ending until they’re caught. Right now, whoever did this is still roaming the streets of Genoa City. Yeah, it’s terrifying knowing someone so evil is just out there. What happens next? We hope that Chance and the police can find out who it is before they do something this diabolical or, God forbid, worse to someone else. I need a bag over here. Summer, I mean it. Please don’t do that. Don’t freak out, please. Wait. How can I not freak out? Okay, I have protection. I have a lot of protection. I have GC’s finest. Chance, um, is leading the pack. Uh, hey, I don’t want you guys to worry more than you already have. Listen, I’m very happy to hear that you have protection, but whoever did this, they’ve already managed to evade the authorities so far. So, yeah, we’re gonna worry about you. Listen, whoever did this isn’t getting away with it, let me tell you that.

I will hunt them down…

No.

…and I will find them.

No. You can’t come for my family and expect me to sit back. No. You are not gonna go vigilante. There’s no way you can do that. It’s way too dangerous. Just promise us you’ll let the police take care of this. Oh, I will. No. No. I want you to say it. I want you to say all the words. “I promise I will let the police take care of this.” I promise I’ll let the police take care of this. That was very convincing. Thank you. Great. I guess we can move on. What I would like to know is, you said that you and Sharon, you were forced to work together. Whoever did this knew about… our– our decades of hostility toward each other and knew about our past and would give us riddles and tests, um, based on– based on our history. What happened? Well, at one point, I drank some water, and there was poison in it. And, oh, man, I was– It was so much pain. It was so much pain. I mean, I was paralyzed with pain. And Sharon screamed out for help, but the help that they gave was another riddle, and it was my life. My life was a punchline. Look, thank God Sharon obviously figured it out. That’s the irony. If it weren’t for Sharon, I wouldn’t be sitting here right now. [voice cracking] I wouldn’t be sitting here with my beautiful babies. This may sound strange, but I do want to believe that what Phyllis and I went through was ironically cathartic to whatever extent. How? The riddles we had to solve, working together to win the game so that we could go home, we did, in fact, face down some of our issues, maybe even come to terms with some of them. The most horrific part may also have been the most revealing. When you are forced to save each other’s lives? Yes. Can you talk to me about that? I mean, if it’s too soon, obviously you don’t have to. No. It’s all right. Um, Phyllis was the first one to be poisoned. One minute she was fine, and then the next, it was like she was dying right before my eyes. I’m guessing you were given a riddle to solve. And I did. I solved it. I found the antidote in time. We thought at that point that had to be the worst of it, but the next morning, Phyllis found me barely alive. I don’t know what it was or how it happened, but something caused my heart to slow down and almost stop. I am alive right now because Phyllis administered CPR. I mean, it’s so twisted to push you both that close to death for their own entertainment. It’s insane. Well, the Voice insisted that all of this was not about entertainment. It was more like some sort of psychological experiment. But they were playing God with your lives. They were ready to watch you die. Who does something that heinous? I-I’m so sorry. I hope I haven’t upset you. No, not at all. I’m… [sighs] And, you know, as for these messages, I don’t know what they are. I’ve been receiving alerts like this for a couple of days now, and once I saw “security breach,” I… Well–[sighs] I haven’t opened my phone since for fear that it’s been hacked. And if I do open it, then my data could be exposed. So that’s why I overreacted when I saw you holding it. And I please hope you forgive me for being a little intense about it. Mmm. That is good. And it’s no surprise that you’re so incredibly tense. Well, whatever you’re doing is helping. Thank you. [exhales] You know, I’m amazed at how much you risked to help your friends. As much as I would love to nail that son of a bitch and make them feel the pain that Sharon and Phyllis did, I will be more than happy to hand in my cape for a corporate jacket and let Chance and the GCPD handle it from here. Is that a promise? I promise you. Once Phyllis is okay and she’s back on her feet, it’s all about Abbott Communications and taking that company to the stratosphere. Not wearing a cape doesn’t make you any less of a hero, in case you were wondering. God, Mom, I– I’m just so glad that Sharon saved your life. Yeah, I am, too. You said that you had to save each other’s lives? Yeah. The next day, I woke up and Sharon didn’t have a heartbeat.

What?

Let me guess. Another riddle. Yeah. So it was in a card, actually. Luckily, I figured it out. And, um, I know CPR, so… I got Sharon alive and kicking. Wow. Listen, I gotta ask. You said that you and Sharon, you did work together. Were you able to work through any of that mutual anger that the two of you have? I think that, um, Sharon and I have… a new appreciation for each other’s strengths. Look, I… don’t even want to bring up his name, but… is there any chance that Ian Ward survived and he was the one behind all of this? Um, I thought the same thing, but Chance assured me that his body was cremated. I believe that. I’ll tell you, this freak has to be found. They have to be found sooner rather than later. I still can’t get over how much this person knew about me and Phyllis. And not just our history. About our personalities and what makes us tick. Makes me think whoever this is has some sort of experience in the field of psychology. You think? They knew what games to play that would push all the right buttons. Like pitting us against each other and then compelling us to work together. Forcing us to confront our hatred and distrust and then make choices that were literally life or death. I mean, it sounds like war games, not psychology. Sure felt like war at times. But I can’t help but think how similar this is to aversion therapy or desensitization therapy. It’s almost like you said earlier some sort of twisted therapeutic intervention. [sighs] I’m just so glad that you and Phyllis made it out of this. That’s all that matters. But right now, we really need to figure out who is behind this so they can never hurt anyone ever again. Well, of course I forgive you. And I am so sorry that I never even considered that this could be about your privacy. I can see why you would be really worried that some crazy hacker is trying to get all your personal data. What do you think about just starting with a new phone? You know what? That is a good idea. Anyway, it’s probably silly of me to have never opened it anyway. But, you know, I just wanted to be extra careful, that’s all. Wait. You–You have. You did. You texted me when you went out to get the engagement ring. You texted me to let me know you were on your way back to the club. You had to open your phone for that. Right? You know, you’re right. I did open it to text you earlier. Ha. You know, I must have been so excited to get back to my beautiful fiancée that I forgot about the risk. Besides, you know, it’s probably already been hacked and too late to do anything about it anyway. I would just feel so bad if I’m responsible for this somehow. Honey, this is not your fault. You did not know what was going on, and you were just trying to help. Yes, but your information might be out there, and someone might be using it. Ah. If they are, who cares? You know, and as a therapist, it would be interesting to feel what it’s like to have your identity stolen. Hmm? To be victimized like that, stripped of who you are…[chuckles] by some criminal who’s using your identity for their own nefarious purposes. That must be devastating psychologically. Maybe that would be an interesting experiment for me to face that, you know, to experience those feelings. But you already have, in Paris, when your brother Martin pretended to be you. [knocking] PHYLLIS: Billy? Hey, Billy, are you in here? [Sally sighs] Yeah, Phyllis. Come in. Ooh, hey. Oh, gosh. Am I interrupting? No, no, you’re–you’re fine. You look good. You look, well, better than the last time I saw you. Oh, yeah. Well, it is amazing, you know, what-what, uh, a shower and freedom will do. Yeah, Billy told me what happened. I’m really glad you’re okay. Thank you. I am, too. You know, it’s nice. I just kept on thinking about the people I love and that got me through, so… Hey, listen, I’m fine. Uh, well, I’m surprised to see you out and about. I just wanted to know if maybe we could have a conversation. You know what? That’s actually perfect timing ’cause I have to get back to the office. Okay. Thank you. I’ll catch up in a second. [Phyllis clears throat]

Take care of yourself.

Thank you. Thanks. That is the plan. So, what do you want to talk about? I’m not fine. [labored breathing] I’m not fine. I need my life back. You’re the only one who can help me. You want another latte? No. I think I’ve had enough caffeine. Although this was especially delicious. Hey, guys. I hope you don’t mind. Your security detail told me where to find you. I hope you tracked us down because you have an update. Yes. I just came from the clinic. We bagged a number of items, and now we’re just waiting for a fingerprint hit.

I hope you get it.

Yeah. It’s gotta be a long shot, right? I mean, the kidnapper must have been wearing gloves. Yeah, sort of. But I do have some good news. Now, we were able to trace the purchase of a remote-controlled apparatus that was attached to the gas line that was triggered. Now, I checked with the landlord. The device was definitely not there before. Turns out it was bought at a hardware store not far from the clinic. So, I just want you to know… I’m–I’m ready. I’m ready to jump into Abbott Communications. We are going to have the biggest, baddest launch ever. And I’m– I just wanted to apologize. I’m sorry. No, Phyllis, please do not. There’s no reason to apologize. I am sorry. I am. I’m sorry. Because we had a timeline. We had a timeline that was blown to bits…

Phyllis–

…because what happened– Hold on a second, okay? You were kidnapped, okay? You were just kidnapped. We almost lost you, all right? I don’t care about the business. Not when your well-being is at risk. Just take some time. It’s all good. We’ll figure it out. We’ll launch this company. There’s no doubt about that. But you just need to take some time. No, I’m fine. We had a strategy, and I screwed it up. We had a whole strategy. Phyllis, take some time, okay? Please. That’s an order. Okay, listen, listen. I want you to listen to me. You know what helped me when, um– when I was stuck there? I just–Obviously, I just kept on thinking about seeing my kids again. [sniffles] Um… But what helped me was knowing that I was coming back to Abbott Communications. Ah, come on. Billy, man, we’re building something so strong. We’re not just going to be outliers. We’re going to be leaders in the community. We are changing things for the better. We are building something so great. Us, with my son by my side. So…it’s so important to me. I need this now. [exhales] I need it. Now. Today. Not tomorrow. Not one day when I feel better. I need it now, okay? Please. Please. And I’ll be fine. It’s the only way I’m gonna get past what was taken from me. What we’re gonna do is we’re gonna analyze the hardware store security footage and see if anyone goes in there that you or Phyllis recognize. Well, I’ve been running through everyone I know, anyone I’ve brushed paths with. And other than Phyllis, I can’t think of anyone else who hates me as much as she did. Well, weirdly, thanks to our captor, even she doesn’t hate me as much as she used to. Sure. Yeah. I still need to bring her up to speed, but it very well could be that your abductor is someone that you two know. Look, there’s a pretty good chance that Phyllis has a list of people who hold a grudge against her, but this kind of insanity is next level. Well, let’s just hope the footage gives us a face that one of you recognize. Let’s get back to talking about the wedding. Okay. You know, that’s one of my favorite subjects.

Mine, too.

[both chuckle] While you were in the shower, I might have gone on the Internet and looked up a few ideas. A lot of options. And it’s pretty overwhelming. First, do we want to get married in Genoa City with family and friends nearby? I mean–And if so, where? A quaint little chapel? Or maybe we could get married at my house. I think that’d be a lovely place to get married. And according to Diane, it’s going to be even lovelier after the refresh. I’m sure it will be. [chuckles] But then I had another idea. I’m all ears. What do you think about going back to Paris, where we have so many memories of getting to know each other? Okay, maybe they weren’t all wonderful. Oh, no. You’ve brought so much joy into my life that all the not so wonderful parts I’ve forgotten about. Oh! But you have given me… more than you will ever know. And that’s why I want our wedding to be just perfect. Um, we could also do the toes-in-the-sand beach thing. That seems to be very popular. As long as I’m marrying you, I don’t care where. Oh! [chuckles] [cell phone pings] [sighs] Okay, this is kind of strange. What possible kind of hack could this be? Look, why do you keep asking questions about this phone? I told you, some crazy person hacked me, and I can’t control what they do, okay? Not how many messages they send me. Look, it’s off, all right? Won’t bother you anymore. [sighs] I was worried about it because I thought it would bother you. You’re right. I’m– I’m sorry I snapped. I– Look, honestly, this whole thing is stressing me out, and that’s not fair to you. And–[sighs] you know– We’re in love. We just got engaged. We’re gonna spend the rest of our life together, and that’s all that matters. You know what? This idea of getting married in Paris, that is starting to grow on me. Do you think we should, jump on a jet, maybe check out some venues? Look, I get it, okay? I mean, you want to feel like you’re on solid ground and that you’ve got your life back under control, but it’s really important that you don’t take on more than you can actually handle right now. Listen, I-I-I know what I need. I know. And I need the excitement and energy of launching our company, and that–that is gonna get me past this.

I know that.

No, I hear you. I do. But–I mean, Phyllis, are you–you’re sure? It’s, uh– You’ve just been through a lot. I know. Hey. I’m positive, okay?

Okay.

Okay. All right. Good, good. Good, good, good. Where do you want to start? With the press release? Yeah. Look, I–I need to make a confession. Oh. A confession. Okay. Go for it. [sighs] Phyllis, I thought you went AWOL on me. I did. And I was an idiot. And the press release went out, and– I–Hey. I get it. Business is business. Phyllis, the press release went out without your name attached to it. Oh. Excuse me. I’m sorry, okay? I’m sorry. I was an idiot. I made a mistake. I–I– Don’t worry about it. I–You thought I bailed on you.

I understand.

I was an idiot, okay? I made a mistake, and I realized it very quickly. I–I understand. After the press release went out, you realized that… Phyllis, I–I realized that you would never bail on me. I realized that you would never bail on this company, not after working so hard to bring Daniel on board everything. And I-I-I-I started to– I realized you were in trouble. Can I ask you a question? I just want you to tell me the truth. Um, do you want me to work with you? I mean, really, or is this kind of a mercy thing right now? Phyllis, I need you. I need your fire. I can’t do this with anyone else. You’re the only person on the planet that I want to do this with. But most importantly, will you forgive me? [sighs] Of course I forgive you. You saved my life. Of course I forgive you. Chance, thank you for being so thorough on this. If anyone can catch this monster, it’s you. Oh, well, you know what? You have been through a hell of a last few months, haven’t you? I don’t think anyone would blame you if you wanted to get out of town for a while and clear your head. Sharon, he’s right. You’ve been talking about going to Sedona forever. Go. Regroup. Get some rest. Actually, a better idea. You should take Faith. Go to Europe, see Noah. Hang out with your son. He would love to see you. You know what? Yeah. Now is a good time to go. Absolutely. It’s what you need. Okay. I’ll do it on one condition. What’s that? You go with us.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Siren wails ] Nurse Corinthos. Good evening, Dr. Gannon. Ready to head into battle? I hope not. I have fought my share of battles today. Tough patients? Nothing I can’t handle. Here’s to hoping the ER’s quiet tonight.

[ Knock on door ] Who is it? It’s Kai. You okay? [ Sighs ] I’m fine. I just need to be alone.

Tracy: Sasha!

I thought I heard your dulcet tones, Tracy. Did you need something? Yeah. Tell Maria I need tea. Maria has left for the day, but I’ll get it for you. Okay, uh, make it snappy. I have an appointment. Coming right up. [ Door opens ]

Hey, everybody. Oh, hey, Gio. How was Trina’s party? Gio, did you happen to see any government officials or anyone with a bulldozer when you came up the driveway? No. Good. Granny, what are you up to? Yeah, well, I was just saying, you must be so relieved that Charlotte is now home with Lulu. Oh, I can’t even begin to tell you. You don’t have to. [ Sighs ] And now that Lucky and Rocco and Ace are all present and accounted for… And Nikolas, too. I mean, maybe he’s not here, but he’s accounted for. Nikolas is strong, okay? He’s going to be fine. Still, I worry. I know. That’s my point. I think you can let it go, just for now. You know, I think we should focus on the positive because things are starting to look up for our family. You’re back. That was fast. I guess it was a success. Not entirely. Oh, man, that’s so good.

Okay, what took you so long?

So that text I called you about on the plane. Yeah. It turns out Charlotte didn’t send it to Rocco. It was Valentin. [ Sighs ] Was it an ambush? I mean, he was expecting Lulu. Like, his plan was to give Charlotte over to her mother once she got to Buenos Aires. So, I guess Valentin finally realized that he couldn’t protect his daughter anymore. So, even Valentin wants to keep his kids safe. Yeah, and he was right. Because a WSB kill squad showed up right after we did, and they would’ve gotten the jump on him if Anna and I hadn’t been there. So, you protected Valentin? I mean, the priority was getting Charlotte out safely. I mean, I couldn’t get rid of Valentin in front of Anna. Where’s Valentin now? I don’t know. Well, the great thing is that you brought Charlotte home to her mother. Rocco missed her tremendously. And now, the whole family can start to heal. I wasn’t sure if anyone else wanted tea, so I made a pot. What kind is it? I hope it’s nothing soothing or healthy. I would never try to soothe you. Thank you. It’s peppermint. Oh, good. At least it’s not green. That’s like sipping warmed-up lawn cuttings. So you’ve said. Thank you. Granny, I asked you — What am I doing? I am securing this family. The whole situation with the crypt has gotten way out of control. No thanks to your husband. You got into a physical altercation with a county surveyor. He wanted to press charges. I had to arrest you. We were on private property. It’s still assault. It was not assault! You’re supposed to be family, anyway. Chase is family. [ Sighs ] If I may… You may. Well, I think Chase was just doing his job and trying to follow the law. And? And maybe there’s a way to make the law work for you. As it should. Oh, look at the time. Gotta run. Tea, anyone? I don’t mean to intrude, but I saw you were gone from the party. And I get it. All right, sometimes you need to be alone. After my injury, I needed to be alone, too. So, I’ll go. But when you’re ready to not be alone anymore, I’ll show up for you like you did for me. And you also showed me that I don’t have to be alone for too long, so…

[ Sighs ] Maybe I don’t want to be alone after all. Now that Charlotte’s home, it might be kind of a good time for — for you and Lulu to start to get to know each other. I mean, without the shadow of Valentin hanging over the both of you. Man, I hope so. I mean, Valentin and I are still going to have a professional connection, but considering he’s still, you know, out of the picture and very much off the grid, I’m hopeful that maybe Lulu could get past it. My daughter is pretty stubborn, so it’s just going to be an uphill battle. [ Chuckles ] All right, fine. I’ll take it under advisement and remain cautiously optimistic. Okay, good. Okay. That is the spirit. Yeah. Yeah. [ Knock on door ] You expecting somebody? No. It’s kind of late for a social call. It’s Anna. What is it? Is there — Is there some kind of an emergency at the PCPD? Uh, no, this isn’t a PCPD matter. It’s, uh, federal. Federal? [ Chuckles ] I don’t understand. Madam Mayor, this is Federal Marshal Thompson. Marshal Thompson, this is Mayor Laura Collins. Madam Mayor. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Marshal. Please tell me what this is about. The marshal is here to serve an arrest warrant. For who? Not one of my children. No, no, no, no. It’s for your brother, Martin Grey.

[ Sighs ] I am so glad you showed up at my door. Yeah, I would’ve really regretted not giving us a chance. And what about now? Any regrets? Not yet.

[ Music intensifies ] Thank you, all of you, for being so patient with Granny. I know she’s been a little… Gruff? Intense. Volatile, entitled, combative? Like she always is, but more? I was going to say passionate. Sure. Passionate. We’ll go with that. I’m not trying to make any excuses, but all this insanity with the crypt, it’s really getting to her. No one should have to move their deceased family members. This whole thing’s getting kind of creepy, right? It’s creepy and distasteful and disrespectful. [ Sighs ] Just like Drew. [ Sighs ] No argument there. But I feel like it goes beyond that. Sure, to the outside world, Tracy might seem like some wealthy woman who could easily afford to rebuild the family crypt. Well… But she goes down there to visit her parents at least three times a week. Three times a week. To a crypt? She goes there to think. She feels close to her parents and brother there. She always makes sure that they have fresh flowers. That place really matters to her. What really bothers me is Drew didn’t have to do this. No one was being hurt by a crypt taking up a few feet of public land. They could’ve reclaimed the conservancy land at a different part of the property. Drew was just doing this to hurt Tracy. All because she was trying to get back the family name. Honestly, the more this plays out, the more it feels like Tracy’s just trying to protect her family. And I respect that. Look, love her or hate her, Drew has picked a fight with the wrong broad. Seriously. Tracy could probably take anybody on any corner in Bensonhurst. [ All chuckle ] There has got to be some kind of a mistake here. No, no, I’m sorry, there isn’t. I reviewed the warrant myself. And, um, since Mr. Grey is your brother, I asked the marshal if I could accompany him, just as a courtesy, to make sure that everything is handled appropriately when Mr. Grey is taken into custody. Taking into — This is nuts! I haven’t done anything wrong. Listen. What — What federal crime are you [Chuckles] attempting to charge me with? Apparently, you’re in arrears when it comes to some alimony payments for one — one of your ex-wives. Which one? Well, the particular ex-wife in question isn’t actually listed on the warrant, but I can tell you that the charges were filed out of a federal court in California. California? Yes. You’re being extradited there. So, I didn’t get to celebrate my birthday last year. Why not? I’m not sure if you know… but, um… my boyfriend, Spencer… he died. I — I had an impression that you’d lost someone, but I had no idea who. Well, you couldn’t have known. But, um, it was January of last year, and when my birthday came around… the loss was just so fresh. I’m sure. And my mom and Joss, they all understood and they gave me the space that I needed, but… this year, when I walked into the gallery, and everybody yelled, “Surprise!”… I was genuinely surprised. And was it like a — like a good surprise? Yeah, it was. I was happy to see everybody — my family, my friends, the people that I love. But then, when I opened Emma’s gift, [Voice breaks] um… and I saw… [ Sniffles ] I saw this — this book cover… everything just came crashing back. Trina, I am so sorry. I feel like I’m moving on. I feel like that… all of the grief is behind me, but it just sneaks up, you know? And in a way that I don’t expect. This — This book reminds you of Spencer? Yeah. This one isn’t the one Emma gave me. It’s, um… It’s the one… from Spencer. May I? Yeah.

Tell me about him. So, any updates from Brick about who planted the bomb at your place? Not yet. One dead end after another. Well, I mean, if Brick’s hitting dead ends, then — You know, the person who — who did this gets in, gets out without leaving any tracks. Yes, but nobody’s perfect. We– We’ve just got to find this guy’s mistake. We’ve got to find this guy soon, because my family’s not going to feel secure until we find out who’s responsible and take them out. Speaking of family, any word, uh — Any word from Michael? Anything new? Yeah, Carly spoke to Michael on the phone. Wow. That’s — That’s new. Yeah, I don’t think they talked very long, but Carly probably did all the talking. [ Chuckles ] Yeah, that’s a — That’s a safe bet. I’ll call him. Yeah, Michael’s doing better, but, uh, it’s going to be a long road. I know. But he’s a tough kid. Yeah, his whole life was ripped apart. There’s nothing I can do about Drew or Willow, but whoever hurt my son… they’re going to pay. So, Brick, uh, said the device itself wasn’t anything the Five Families normally would have access to. I’m thinking we take a look at Sidwell. I mean, he says he’s here to start a legitimate business. Yeah, but I don’t buy it. Last time he came to Port Charles, he was lucky to get out with his diamonds and his life. That’s true. His — His story — His cover story is very thin. Sidwell’s a smart man. Why does he think it’s smart to come after my family? Okay, well, the shower can wait, but the champagne is so good, we can’t let it get warm. Yeah, this is an excellent vintage. I’m surprised you had it in the cellars. It’s new. Olivia must have picked it out. Well, I mean, she doesn’t pick it out. The sommelier picks it out. But Olivia, um, she has to approve it. Carly, don’t! [ Gasps ] [ Breathily ] Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I don’t feel good. [ Breathing heavily ] Oh my — No! Carly! Carly? Sidwell returning to Port Charles right before the bombing — very suspicious. And he also threw his hat in with Drew to muscle me out of the waterfront. Yeah, but it doesn’t make sense to start with a bomb and then turn to bureaucracy. Maybe that’s what he wants us to think. Okay. Maybe not. I don’t know. Listen, forget Sidwell for now. Who else do you know who would have any reason to want to come after me? I mean, anybody who would want to take you out and get a foothold here. But you’ve got to remember, there are very few that have access to that technology that was used in the bomb. What do you know other than what Brick told us? Uh, I know — [Sighs] I know what Anna said. She said that, uh, the device that was used at your penthouse was typically and exclusively used in the intelligence community. We’re talking WSB, CIA. It’s not military-made. It’s not homemade. What about the bomb that Sidwell used to kidnap Sasha? Doesn’t match. Okay, maybe he doesn’t use the same bomb twice. So either somebody bought that device, off the books, from an intelligence agency — Or someone in the intelligence community wants to take me out.

Okay, what about one of Carly’s buddies, Jack Brennan, in the WSB? You think he could be involved? A woman has ingested an unidentified poison. Her heart rate is irregular. Her breathing is shallow. I need you to prep the ER at General Hospital. Tell them they have to pump her stomach and get a trauma team ready. Spencer could be [Sighs] spoiled and entitled and arrogant, which was annoying because he was so cute. Oh, that’s always the worst. But it took me some time to realize that there was a reason for all of it, and not saying that he couldn’t be a jerk because he could be, and a lot. Yeah, well, if you loved it, there must be good in him. And I like that you’re keeping me in suspense about that. Most of his attitude came because he was protecting his heart. And he had reasons for that. Spencer’s dad left Port Charles for a long time, and it really hurt Spencer. I can imagine. But if given the chance, he was thoughtful and perceptive… and could be hurt easily. And that’s why he was so protective of his heart. But not when he was with you? No. Not when he was with me. And when we decided to be an us, together, like really decided, we realized that we didn’t have to protect ourselves from each other. It turned out that we had to protect ourselves from everything else outside of us. I can do that, you know? Yeah. [ Chuckles ] Thank you. Hey, what you said about Tracy earlier was really nice. You care about her. Yeah, Tracy’s tough, but she means well. Most of the time. 60-40. If you didn’t feel the same way, you wouldn’t put up with so much. Tracy has a unique way of showing her affection, but, yeah, it’s definitely there. It’s funny, even as outsiders, she still kind of takes us in. We may not be part of the family — But it still feels like we’re a small part of something precious, right? Yeah. When the baby gets here, you’re going to be a real part of it. Aw, yeah. I’m still, uh, wrestling with that idea. But on nights like tonight, I, uh, think it might not be such a bad thing. Don’t take this the wrong way, but you and Tracy have a lot in common. You mean you’ve arrested each of us on multiple occasions? That’s part of it, yeah. Well, I’ll take that as a compliment. [ Sighs ] Until last night, I would’ve sworn that I had more in common with my Grandma Gloria. But I’m realizing how wrong I was. You mean to tell me that the federal government is going to waste taxpayer money to extradite — [Chuckles] extradite me for alimony payments? The law is the law, sir. Marshal, could I have a moment with my brother, please? Thank you. I thought you had some kind of an understanding with your ex-wives. Yeah, so did I. I mean, they’re all erratic in their own unique way, but I — I assumed things were civil at least. Okay, look, are you behind in your alimony payments? No! No, not that I’m aware of. Okay. Uh, yeah, maybe I — You know, I came into a substantial chunk of change with the sale of Valentin’s house, but that was — You might want to declare that. Don’t help. What a fine party this is. Tracy, what are you doing here? I was in the neighborhood, and I thought I’d just stop up and say hi to Lulu. But I see you already have guests. This was you, wasn’t it? [ Chuckles ] Yeah. You’re behind this arrest. This — This — This — treachery. This is all your doing, isn’t it? Of course it is. Heart rate’s 50. Respiration’s 10. Carly ingested a poison via champagne, lost consciousness. Quantity consumed is unclear. Approximately a three-minute window between consumption and effect. Carly?! Miss Corinthos, You good? I’m fine. Let’s go. Trauma one. Come on.

I need two agents at General Hospital now. First floor. And I need a lab tech prepped. Poison identification. Immediately.

[ Sighs ] I need you at GH now. If Brennan’s behind the bomb, it’d have to be personal. Carly? We’ve been, you know, divorced a long time. I mean, he knows I don’t like him, but I’m not in the way. And hurting one of her kids, intentional or not — She would kill him herself. So, uh, Brennan is a stretch. We just have to keep our options open. Will do. Um, Anna, can you talk to her again? Because she — she doesn’t talk to me. Maybe she knows somebody in the intelligence community who has access to that device. I’m on it. And one more thing. Yeah? I don’t want to get into your business, but, uh, Sasha was Brando’s wife. She’s pregnant. And her pregnancy and her safety is very important to me. And somebody is after me. You’re connected to me. She’s connected to you. Just make sure you take good care of her. I’ll take care of Sasha.

What’s going on with you and Gloria? [ Sighs ] [ Sighs ] It’s about my pregnancy… back in high school. I thought it was something that just me and my ma knew about, that it was a secret that was just between the two of us. And that’s not the case? No. She told my grandma. Maybe she just needed someone she could trust to talk to. Well, what about our trust? She either should’ve kept it between the two of us or told me that my grandma knew! Okay, you have a point. How’d you find out they were keeping this from you? From Lulu. Lulu? I know. Tell me this isn’t the universe punishing me. I wish I could. Um, how did Lulu — All I know is that my ma was talking about my baby to Martin Grey. Just another person that she was babbling to that I had no idea about. So, Lulu found out that Martin and Lois were talking. She found Martin’s notes from his conversation with my mom. Why was Lois talking to Martin? Wait, was she trying to find your child? Oh, Laura, I’m so sorry. I have to take off. I’m really sorry. Oh, yeah, by all means. Thanks for the courtesy visit, Commissioner. You’ve been a real comfort. I’m sure the marshal is going to handle everything by the book. Yes, I’m sure he will. Thank you, Anna. How’d you do it? I made a phone call. But how did you know to make a phone call? Well, I followed your brother’s example. I took a shot. It panned out. Would you mind explaining that to me? Not at all. I overheard Lucy Coe bragging about her magnificent windfall commission that she made selling Valentin’s house to Sonny, with you as fiduciary. It’s my job! Yes, and I figured you got paid a pretty penny for that job, one that you would want to squirrel away from all the women who were unfortunate or stupid enough to marry you. I was right. I wasn’t squirreling. I simply hadn’t declared it as income yet. Oh, ’cause you were busy? I didn’t even know you had an ex in California. I don’t, okay? They’re all here on the East Coast. Oh, God. Wait a minute. There is one who’s mean enough to do something like this. Makes Blair Cramer look like a teddy bear. Wait a minute. Blair Cramer is a lovely woman with terrible taste in men. Anyway, we got married in Los Angeles. Not Blair, the mean one, and I mean mean. This is bad, baby sister. Really bad. If I get sent to California, this will put me on the rack and make microwave popcorn. So could you please just — Yeah. Tracy. What do we have to do to make this go away?

Spencer had a truly psychotic ex-girlfriend named Esme. And out of revenge, she slept with Spencer’s father and then got pregnant. Wow. That — That is a long-haul revenge play. But then I got accepted to this program at the Sorbonne in Paris, and Spencer and I decided to go together. And were you two planning to live together? Yeah. We were going to get an apartment and — and take in all of the art and the music and the food and the architecture. And then we got there. We actually got to Paris. And was it everything you expected? It was more. And for a moment, we had everything we ever dreamed of. And it was long enough for me to truly believe it was all mine. And then Esme showed up. What did she want? To kill me. And she almost did. But Spencer — Spencer died saving my life. I want this bottle tested to identify the toxin. Get a team down to the Metro Court. I want to analyze their security footage. Find out who delivered that bottle. You, I want you on Carly Spencer’s room. No one but her medical team gets in or out without my authorization. If anyone gets past you and you’re not dead, I’m going to kill you myself. Go. Carly Spencer, what’s her status? We’re doing our best to keep her stabilized. We gave her a gastric lavage, but we can’t treat her sufficiently until we know what she was poisoned with. I’m working on that. You just keep her alive. Dr. Gannon, Carly’s family needs to know she’s here. I’m going to call her ex-husband, Sonny. No, you’re not. She could die. Her family needs to be here. This is a matter of national security. And as WSB station chief, I am exerting my authority. How is this — No one gets into that room without my authorization. Is that understood? I’m sorry, Mr. Brennan. I know you’re upset, but that’s not how we do this. Try me. There is nothing to be done. Martin has paved the way for Drew to literally uproot my family from their final resting place. And there are consequences for that. This is one of them. One of them? Oh, Tracy. Come on. Martin was just representing Drew’s interests here. He has no issue with your family. Hey. Amen to that. Look, I may be guilty of doing my job a little bit too well, but [Chuckles] your conflict is with Drew. Yeah. My conflict is with anybody who messes with my family, including people that aid and abet that messing. Okay, look, he told me that he only planned to use the location of your family’s mausoleum as the starting point of a negotiation. It was Drew, Tracy, who took it and ran with it and made it part of public record. Isn’t that right? Oh, yeah. Yeah. You know, when I worked for your father, one of the very first things that Edward ever taught me, and I never forgot it, is that everything is a negotiation — everything. So, how can you hold it against Martin for — for negotiating on behalf of his client when you know that Drew is the driving force behind all of this? I don’t know what my ma is doing. I don’t know what she’s thinking. All I know is that when I confronted her, she confessed that my grandma has known the entire time, and that they both agreed to never say a word about it. And they didn’t, until now. Exactly. Look, maybe this makes me a hypocrite, but now I am looking back to every interaction, every conversation that me and my grandma had. Yeah, I was keeping a secret from her, but her and my mom were keeping a huge secret from me. And secrets hurt. Hurt like hell. And the relationship I thought I had with my ma and my grandma feel completely different. They’re not who I thought they were. Hey, they are the same flawed people that have always loved you. They’re people who keep things from me.

And as the same flawed person who has always loved you, I… I just realized I’m doing the exact same thing to you. I’m sorry for oversharing. You know, I’m just going to get us some water, and maybe some vodka. Wait. Trina, wait. Wait. Do not apologize, okay? I asked you about Spencer because he’s part of you. And the more I get to know about you, the more I want to. Even the dark and depressing parts? [ Sighs ] Even the dark and depressing parts. Do you remember that first painting you showed me at The Chuck? The one with the deep contrast between light and dark elements? Yeah, that’s one of my favorites. Of course I do. Yeah, and you showed me how it was so bold and striking because of that contrast. And this is kind of like that. The more I get to know about you and the dark and light parts of you, the more beautiful and striking you become. Happy birthday. [ Both chuckle ] I couldn’t give this to you earlier. Kai. No, you didn’t have to do that. No, I wanted to. And you don’t have to open it now. Just whenever — whenever you’re ready. Thank you. And thank you for telling me about Spencer. He sounds very cool. He was. Well, have a good night, Trina. You too.

[ Door closes ]

[ Giggles ]

Okay, I think we can all take a step back from the brink. Right, Martin? Absolutely. Yeah. Okay, just for the record, it was never my intention to have anybody disinterred. I was never going to let Drew go through with it. Yeah, well, that’s a battle you would have lost badly. [ Chuckles ] Yeah. Maybe, yes. Maybe, no, Tracy. I mean, come on, you know, the law was on Drew’s side. You can’t build a mausoleum on public land. Martin. Martin. You know, it’s illegal. No, seriously. It’d be just another rich family… No! …making up the rules as they go along. Tch-tch-tch-tch. No. That’s it. I’m done! Do your job. Martin Grey, you’re under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. [ Sighs ] Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. I don’t want to keep any secrets from you. I don’t want us to think that we have one kind of relationship, and then realize years later that it’s something completely different. Hey, I love you. There is nothing you can say that could change that. I pray that’s true. I just want to tell you everything. [ Sighs ] I’ve never told you who my baby’s father was. I just assumed it was some kid from the neighborhood. It was someone from the neighborhood. It just wasn’t some random kid. [ Breathes shakily ] My baby’s father was… is… Dante. [ Sighs ] Jason. Thank God you’re home. Is something wrong? We need to talk about the baby. Isaiah: Nurse, we’re going to need a second line. Pulse is 40 and thready. Respirations down to 8. We need to know what she ingested now. [ Machine beeping ] Okay, what’s going on? Why the urgent call? I was with Carly. She drank a glass of champagne and collapsed. I brought her here. They’re treating her. I sent the bottle down to the WSB for testing. I’m awaiting results. [ Phone rings ] Okay. Is that them? Yes. What is it? You’re sure? What is it? Polonium poisoning.

[ Gun cocks ] Forget something?

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

[stirring music plays] Honestly, I was worried. I was worried this day would never come. I thought our friendship was too damaged to ever be repaired again. But after what you just did, what you did today, I’m… I’m so grateful to have my friend back. I mean, I…still believe in Carter and me. I’m not going to let one kiss derail what we have. What in the world possessed Daphne to do such a thing? Well, she’s used to getting what she wants. Although, she did say that it was wrong. And you don’t believe her, do you? Of course not. She’s trying to sabotage my relationship behind my back. What I wanna know…is why. What’s made her so bold as to do what she did? Well, well, well. You really do have feelings for Carter. [sighs] I wasn’t expecting it. I was so caught off guard, I almost left, returned to Paris. What made you stay? [small laugh] My run-in with Hope. Answer me, Mom. I deserve the truth. Have you known all these years that Finn was my father? Just say it! Say that Bill and Tom Starr were just cover-ups and that’s why you went to that music festival and slept with them, so you could have more men to point to. Anyone other than Finn– your nephew. I never took a paternity test. You didn’t have to. You had your own suspicions, your instincts. Yes! But I couldn’t do that to Finn or my sister. I couldn’t hurt them that way! [dramatic music plays] You checking out hot guys on the phone again? Oh, don’t you know it. Take a look. -Aw. -Isn’t Hayes the most beautiful little boy you have ever seen? I really miss my grandson. So every time I asked if you knew who my father was, you knew…but you lied. Well, I hoped it was Bill. One thing we had in common. There was a small chance that he was. Oh, please. You just said it! You said that you felt all along that it was Finn! -Okay, yes, but– -You were scared, Mom. You were scared to face the truth. You were scared to face Aunt Li and Finn, so you ran away. Mm-mm. I wanted to be a single mother, okay? A woman can’t raise a child on her own? Don’t give me that. You weren’t thinking of anyone else but yourself, anything to avoid the scandal of sleeping with your nephew! I have made mistakes. I have regrets. But what you’ve done? Ha! I can’t believe that you’re not behind bars. Hold on. Did Bill somehow fall for your sick advances from before? Is that what’s been going on here, -that the two of you have been– -No! No. It is not like that between Bill and me. -Really. -Bill got me out of prison because he was worried about me. Mom, I was being targeted in there. I was gonna die in that hellhole, and I’m always gonna be grateful to him for that. And if you must know, there is a Spencer that I’d like to be with–Will. I know it’s a long shot. I’m a total outcast here now. I don’t even live here. I-I just came here to pick up some of my things. Bill kicked me out yesterday. Not that I blame him, but… Because you’d rather blame me for everything. Things would be so different if you’d just told me the truth! We wouldn’t have hurt each other like this. But you are still my mom, and I am still your daughter. What are you asking? Do you think that you and I can have a fresh start? It looks like I might be interrupting. -I’ll just go upstairs. -No, no, no, no, it’s fine. Daphne and I were just, um, catching up. I was just telling Steffy I’d contemplated returning to Paris. But you’re not. You’re staying put in Los Angeles, right? Yes. For the time being, I’m here. That’s great. I’m glad to hear that. Steffy’s really enjoyed having you here and your…amazing scents. So what changed your mind about going? Hope did… the moment she demanded I leave Los Angeles and never come near Carter again. [light music plays] Never occurred to me that Daphne would make a play for Carter, but maybe that was naive of me. Considering what an attractive man Carter is… [Hope laughs] Mom, I have to be honest. I… I’m really trying to take the high road here, give Carter the benefit of the doubt. I mean, I want to believe in him, in us, in his feelings for me and the future that we are building together. [sighs] I just–I don’t… I don’t think that he would let me down. Carter, look, we can see– we realize this has been pretty hard on you. But you did the right thing. Thank you. You know, there were days where I… wondered how I let myself go down this road and why I didn’t hit the brakes sooner. But then I take a look around and I see what we accomplished here– You thought you were doing what was right. It was worth it in a lot of ways. But it was wrong. I stand by what I said before. This is because of Hope. She led you astray. She used you. And I imagine she’s gonna be pretty upset when she finds out what you did here today. [tense music plays] So that’s why Hope tried to send you away–the kiss. She insisted Carter make me leave for Paris immediately. How’d he respond? He defended me. Said we shouldn’t ruin a successful collaboration because of it. I’m sure Hope wasn’t happy about that. Carter’s a good man. He feels really guilty about the takeover. A takeover incited by Hope. I love Carter, and… I know he loves me and our life together and plus, I mean, we have control of the company. And I know how important that is to you, sweetheart. But it isn’t a secret… Forrester Creations without Ridge and Eric, just… feels terribly wrong. [sighs] I know what this will do to Hope, how upset she’ll be when I tell her I gave you back control of the company. And I know how you feel about her, Ridge, but she’s been good to me. But I couldn’t go on like this. Success means nothing if you alienate the people that mean everything to you. You know, hearing you say that… and seeing what you did today… …that’s the man I missed. Come here. [exhales] You want us to have a fresh start? Yes. That wasn’t me, Mom. All those terrible things I did? That’s not who I am. I swear. And you want to live a good, decent life? Absolutely. And you want a guy like Will Spencer. -I mean… -[both chuckle] He’s gorgeous, Mom. He’s smart, funny. Total package. But more than anything… I want my mom back. Tell me you want that too. Never. That will never happen. The souls of Tom and Hollis will haunt you forever, and you have brought unimaginable shame to the family–taking the lives of two innocent men, framing me for your crimes, the idea that you’ve been pardoned? So you’d rather me just rot in prison forever? The daughter you robbed of her father? How dare you make me feel guilty about Finn! You are a double murderer, and you are not my daughter, ’cause you are evil! Evil! Don’t…you touch me! [off-key music plays] Look, this is just–it’s really hard for me, babe, I– I miss my grandchild, I– the-the connection. I know. Look, I don’t want this to sound like some cliché… greeting card, but you gotta stay strong. You gotta… you gotta just have hope. Don’t you ever touch me! Not after what you’ve done. What I’ve done? You deprived me of my own father to save yourself! All right, enough. Enough! I have had it up to here with your sob story. Oh, your screwed-up childhood. Blah, blah, blah. -It wasn’t even bad. -Like hell it wasn’t. And I am sick of you using that as an excuse to try and justify taking the lives of two innocent men, kidnapping the woman that you now know is your father’s wife. Steffy hates you and Finn won’t have anything to do with you. I don’t want anything to do with you. Do you know how much that kills me to say that to my one and only daughter? But it’s true! Shut it! I don’t wanna hear it. So go. Get outta town. ‘Cause you have burned every bridge. Your family has turned their back on you and everyone despises you, as they should. And you are not coming home to me or to Finn. I mean it! And if this is the last time that I see you, then so be it! Because you are no longer my responsibility and I am washing my hands of you once and for all. I didn’t turn you into what you’ve become. You chose the hell that you have created for yourself, and now there is no one on earth who will accept you. No one. Maybe there is, Mom. Maybe there is. I’ve seen a real change in Carter. But is it enough to get him to reverse course? Dad thinks it might be. He and Granddad -are at Forrester’s right– -[door closes] Actually, we’re back. With some pretty important news. -Did you meet with Carter? -We did. -And? -Don’t keep us in suspense. Is Forrester Creation… What, back in our hands? -The company’s ours again. -STEFFY: Oh! -Oh, my God! -[Eric chuckles] [door opens] What’s all this? I know a lot has happened recently, but I… I just wanted to do something nice, give us a chance to talk. Because I still believe in you, Carter. I still believe in us. [Donna giggling] What are you doing here? You’re supposed to be in prison. You killed two of our employees, Deacon’s friend and mine. I’m calling the police! -Please don’t. I can explain. -Oh, what? How you got out, how you’re here? I’m not interested! I didn’t get out. I-I’ve been pardoned. Pardoned. Oh, my God, what do I look like to you? Who in their right mind would pardon a homicidal maniac like you? Hear me out. Hear me out, please? Everyone’s turned their back on me– my family, my friends. I’m all alone. I have no one to turn to. But I’m hoping that there’s someone, one person that can understand me and accept me. Who in their right mind would ever understand or accept you after the heinous things that you’ve done? You, Sheila. You. [heavy music plays] Wait–you convinced Carter to tear up the LLC papers? Yeah. Here. See for yourself. -Oh, my God, Ridge… -Oh, my… -[Eric laughs] -When Eric said you had -important news… -This is the best news ever! It is, and a long time coming. You know, -the important thing is– -TAYLOR: The important thing is is that Forrester Creations is back where it belongs with you, Ridge, and Steffy. -[sighs] Ahh. -TAYLOR: So what happened? What did you say to Carter to get him to come around? Didn’t take much. I just needed to… Like a little nudge from his best friend? You know, Carter hated this estrangement as much as I did. Possibly more. The guilt has been weighing on him heavily. -But now… -Now things are just the way they should be–the company that Stephanie and I founded so many years ago is back in our hands. The Forresters are in charge. -Oh, my gosh! -ERIC: Isn’t it great? -Ahh. -We did it. [whispers] Wow. We, uh, haven’t had a lot of time, just the two of us lately, what with everything going on at work, and… this is a gesture to say that I would like to change that. I mean, I’m still… hurt by Daphne kissing you and the fact that you did not tell her to go back to Paris. But, as you pointed out… …we all make mistakes, and I want this to work. I just–it means so much to me, you, our relationship, everything we’re building at the company. And at the end of the day, I-I really believe that we can make it through anything. Why are you so quiet? What’s going on? Did something happen at the office? Hope, uh… I always wanna be honest with you… and there’s something I need to tell you. Ridge and Eric came by the office today. Okay. So what did they want? What they’ve wanted since the whole thing started– control of the company again. Well, of course they would want that when it’s seen so much success. I mean, it’s all thanks to you. You’ve transformed the company, what with the fragrance line, the jewelry line, reinstating Hope for the Future. We are being celebrated worldwide, and that… is thanks to you taking over the LLC, and luckily, I don’t see that changing anytime soon, so… Right, Carter? We still control Forrester Creations, right? Tell me I’m right, Carter. [intense percussive music plays] Captioned by Los Angeles Distribution and Broadcasting, Inc.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I must say, this– this is a huge disappointment, Belle. But not exactly a surprise. [soft dramatic music] I’m afraid I’m gonna have to call you back.

Good evening, Madame Mayor.

Jada. Oh, Rafe. Good to see you, the– the real you, back out in the world.

Yeah, you can say that again. But you look like you just got some bad news.

I’m afraid I did. I just got a call from DA Black. She has recused herself from the EJ DiMera case.

Let me guess. Because of her personal involvement with him.

Anybody that comes in contact with that EJ DiMera winds up as collateral damage.

I just wanted to say I’m sorry about what happened with Amy Choi. I offered to help smooth things over, but Johnny wouldn’t hear of it.

Yeah, well, can you blame him?

No. I’m afraid my son is rather upset with me at the moment.

You got that right.

Johnny what’s wrong? [grunts]

Johnny! What the hell?

You son of a bitch. I know what you did. [dramatic music]

Man, I could use a martini.

Well, you’re gonna have to get it somewhere else.

Is there a problem?

Oh, yeah, there’s a big one. Your Kristen’s lawyer.

So?

So you help her get away with everything. [tense music]

I’m almost certain it’s in here.

Yes! Just what I was looking for.

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

Mother? Oh, thank God. I have been looking all over for you.

Kristen, what are you doing here?

[chuckles] Better question, what are you doing here? My God. I mean, when you weren’t at the house, I thought you might have gone after Ava again.

[chuckles]

But you weren’t at the pub, and then I figured you were here at Aremid.

Well, this is our family home.

Yes. Um, but what are you doing in the attic? [tense music] What do you have behind your back, Mother?

I know you’re not a fan of Kristen’s–

That’s to put it mildly.

Look, I don’t like her, either. But she’s the CEO of DiMera, and so, yeah, what she says, hightail it down to the police station, I do it, no questions asked.

How’d you get that job, anyway?

[scoffs] How’d you get this one? [jazzy piano music] I’m guessing you made your own share of devil’s bargains.

You want olives or a twist with that martini?

So after you and Gabi showed up at the DiMera mansion and demanded that EJ produce your fiancé, Mrs. Choi decided that maybe Johnny and Chanel might not make the best parents after all.

Paulina, I am so sorry. When we came to search those tunnels, we had no idea that you were in the middle of such an important lunch. If we interfered with their adoption plan in any way–

No, no, no, no. No, no. No need to apologize. You were just trying to bring Rafe back home safe and sound. If anybody’s to blame, it’s that EJ DiMera. Oh, that man. Oh. He has done so much damage to so many people.

Well, so does this news about Belle mean that you have to put the case against him on hold?

Hell no. It might take a day or two to replace her, but there is something I can do right now to fix some of the damage, at least, that he’s already done.

What’s that?

Jada Hunter, I am reinstating you as police commissioner, effective immediately. [bright music]

Ah! Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, look, son, I know you’re upset about this whole Jada situation, but as we discussed, I had nothing to do with Arnold Feniger replacing Rafe.

That’s your entire playbook, isn’t it? Deny, deny, deny!

I’m not lying to you, son. [tense music] Now, I know this is a sensitive subject because of what that man did to your mother, but–

This has nothing to do with what he did to my mom. This is about what you did to her. [dramatic music]

You’re reinstating me? I thought Internal Affairs said that it could take months.

Oh, they did. And even though they still haven’t officially proven that the allegations against you were fabricated, we now know that Rafe’s imposter was the one who made them. So I’m making an executive decision and putting you back in charge of the Salem PD.

Oh, wow. I–I don’t know what to say. Thank you, Paulina. Thank you so very much.

[chuckles] You’re welcome. Now you two go– go and celebrate.

[gasps] [sighs]

Congratulations, Commissioner. [laughter] You know what, we should go grab a drink and celebrate.

Ooh, I would love to do that. But I think we should head home. I mean, got a lot of cases to catch up on.

Mm.

You understand, right?

I do. I do. Yeah, you know what?

Mm.

Rain check on the drink.

Definitely. You know, I wish my first case back would be going after EJ for what he did to you. But since I don’t have any witnesses–

Well, we should question the DiMera servants and siblings. They seem to love stabbing each other in the back.

Mm. What about Ava? Could she know something about what EJ did to you? [tense music]

Hey, hey, Johnny, what are you talking about? What did your dad do to your mom?

You want to tell her? Or should I?

I’m afraid I’m just as confused as your wife.

You’re playing dumb. Fine. I was just talking to my Grandma Kate. And I found out something that I never knew. Mom, Lucas, cabin. You want to take it from here? [tense music]

No? That’s OK. I got it. [tense music] Years ago, my mom and Lucas were on a ski trip. Car broke down. They ended up at a remote cabin. There was a storm. The roof collapsed. Lucas got trapped underneath. My mom thought that he was gonna die. So… she went to the roadside to look for help.

To find someone to help save Lucas’s life. And she came across my dad. She begged him. She begged him to help her save Lucas’s life. And he agreed. He said that he would help save Lucas’s life if… my mother had sex with him. [dramatic music]

[somber music]

– Get out! – Belle. – Get out! – Belle–

Get out of my bed! Get out of my house!

I’m going. I’m going. Fine! Stop!

Get out. Get out! Get out now!

I’m going!

Go!

[door clicks]

Oh, Rachel. What a nice surprise.

Daddy said we could have a sleepover.

Yeah. Do you want to go get your PJs on?

Be right back.

All right.

I didn’t know I was gonna be seeing my niece tonight.

It was a last-minute schedule change.

Oh. And since when does Kristen suggest those?

It was my idea.

And you got her to approve?

Well, now that Kristen’s mother is out of jail, she’s living in the DiMera mansion. So I made the case that it wouldn’t be a good idea to have her living under the same roof as her unhinged grandmother. [tense music]

What do I have behind my back?

Mm-hmm.

Oh. Oh. It’s nothing. It’s just–just memorabilia. [both chuckle]

What kind of memorabilia, Mother?

It’s–

What do you have?

It’s just–like I said, it’s nothing. It’s just a family heirloom.

[sighs] Mother.

I still can’t believe it. I can’t believe that Kristen’s mother actually encouraged her own granddaughter to be a part of a kidnapping plot. And that now, because of Kristen, I had to tell Ava to keep her mouth shut about the whole thing. By the way, that includes everything that her mother has done. Oh, there–there’s a stabbing now.

What?

Yeah, yeah. Kristen’s mother attacked Ava with a knife.

What? Oh, my God. Is she OK?

She’s–physically, she’s fine. She has a small cut on her hand, but she was terrified. I’m surprised you don’t know about it. Oh, wait, I know why you don’t know about it. Because I had to tell Ava not to call the cops. And look, I know you’re the DA, and I know it’s probably not a good idea for me to be saying these things because you need to make sure justice is served. But either way, you wouldn’t have a case because–

Because you already told Ava to keep quiet about it.

Exactly. For the same reason as before, by the way. See, if her mother goes to the cops and she’s in custody, who knows what she’ll say? They’re gonna ask her why she attacked Ava. Then she’s gonna go into her grand plan that she had, and that’s going to involve Ava’s kidnapping.

Yes. And they will find out that your daughter was involved and be obligated to call Child Protective Services. I get it.

Yes. I could lose my daughter permanently because of that.

All right. Well, listen, you have to put your daughter first. And I’m sure Ava understands that, or she wouldn’t have let this go.

I’m not sure she has.

Why? Where do things stand with you? [tense music]

Ava said she needs time to think. Which, to me, means we’re done.

[romantic piano music]

Mmm. [exhales] That hits the spot.

Mm, good. All right, I will get a server to come take your order.

Wait, what happened to your hand?

Uh, well, Kristen’s mother happened.

What?

Yeah. She came after me with a kitchen knife. Walked into my room, and there she was.

She broke into your room?

She picked the lock with a bobby pin. Yeah. She wants me out of the way permanently, so Kristen and Brady can be back together again. Luckily, or ironically, Kristen happened to come in just in time and saved me.

That’s funny. I didn’t get a call from Kristen to– demanding that I bail her mother out.

Well, that’s because I’m not pressing charges.

For attempted murder?

Brady convinced me to leave it alone. Again. Look, the long and short of it is, uh, if any of Rachel Blake’s crimes come to light, Brady could lose custody of his daughter. So now I am constantly looking over my shoulder, wondering if that maniac is gonna come after me again. [tense music]

I don’t know. I just wish I still had some kind of protection, you know?

Here. Take this.

– Ava? Why would she know anything?

Yeah, Ava said that EJ was involved in her kidnapping, remember?

Mm-hmm.

That he found her when she was being held captive at Aremid.

Yeah, but Ava recanted her entire statement, which makes it inadmissible. And even if she hadn’t, didn’t have anything to do with me.

I’m not so sure about that.

What do you mean?

Ava said that she thought EJ was gonna let her go. But then Kristen’s mother shows up, right? And then she takes EJ to a whole nother room, and they have a secret conversation. Then he left. He never came back for her.

So whatever Kristen’s mother said to him–

Convinced EJ that helping Ava wouldn’t be in his best interest.

She must have been holding something over him.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. But what? Yeah, you heard Paulina. When Gabi and I went over to the DiMera house to search the tunnels, I was certain that you were being held there. But then there was no sign of you.

So you think that he was holding me at Aremid?

I mean, it’s possible. Look, I think that if we want to nail EJ, this woman can be the key.

Mother, what are you doing with the gun?

Look, there’s no need to get upset. Like I said, it’s just a memorabilia. Your father had this gun.

Mm, about whom you have exactly zero fond memories of. I repeat, what are you doing with the gun? And what are you planning on doing with it? [suspenseful music]

Johnny… [somber music] Your mother and I put this behind us a long time ago.

Yeah, well, I haven’t. And I never will. I mean, I knew you could be twisted. But this–this is a whole new level of sick. And I’ll tell you something. While you were forcing yourself on my mother, she might not have been saying no, but she was thinking it, screaming it in her head.

Son–

You know, once she realized it was happening, maybe she, uh, just dissociated. I’ve heard that about– about rape victims. I’ve heard they do that sometimes. They go to a different place in their mind to– to get through it, to survive. But you? I bet you were into it, right, Dad? Eyes wide open, fully present, soaking in every second. I bet–I bet it still replays in your mind from time to time, right? Brings a smile to your face, doesn’t it? Doesn’t it?

Kate–Kate had no right to tell you any of this.

[scoffs] Kate had no right? What about my mom’s right to not be sexually assaulted?

What I mean is, what was the point of dredging this all up now other than to upset you? There is no reason for you to know any of this.

You’re joking, right? You’re joking? Because I think you and I both can agree that what you did definitely affects me. I haven’t even gotten to the best part yet. After my mother agreed to have sex with this bastard in order to save Lucas’s life, she got pregnant.

That’s right. The only reason I exist is because my father raped my mother.

If EJ did take you to Rachel Blake’s house, it’s very possible she saw you there. We should go talk to her.

No, I don’t think she’s gonna tell us anything. Kristen’s already lawyered up. My bet is that Trask is representing her mother, too.

Yeah, you know, you’re probably right. But if we’re gonna put away EJ, we need evidence. And I think this woman could be a witness.

All right, so what do you want to do?

I say we go to Aremid.

I don’t really know what I was planning on doing with it.

Mm. Like you didn’t know what you were planning on doing with the knife you took from the mansion? Mother, I told you, you are not helping me or Rachel by hurting Ava.

But what if she was to hurt me? And if I was forced to retaliate, it would be self-defense. And then Ava would be out of the way. You’d be free with your family, and no one would be the wiser.

[tense music]

You carry?

Yeah, I had my own crazy lady hostage situation, remember?

Connie Vininski.

Mm-hmm.

How could I forget?

After she held me prisoner for a month and then tried to blow me to kingdom come, I just– I figured I couldn’t be too careful.

So don’t you still need it?

No, I’m feeling a lot safer now that they locked Connie up in Bayview. But Kristen’s deranged mother is still out there.

Mother, we have talked about this numerous times. You have to let go of the idea of Rachel, Brady, and I becoming a family. Now I want you to give me the gun. Now!

All right, all right. Here.

I just hate that I did this to Ava, you know. She–she’s suffered a lot. And no one’s going to pay for it, Belle. Not–not Kristen, not her mother, no one.

Yeah, I know. I get it. It’s hard.

The only silver lining might be that EJ gets locked up for what he did to Rafe, right? I mean, it’s not gonna make up for what he did to Ava, but it might give her some consolation that EJ is paying for something, right?

Yeah, and–and I really hope that he will be prosecuted. It’s just not gonna be by me.

Hm?

I, uh– I just called Paulina and recused myself from any cases involving EJ.

What? Why? [stammering] There’s no conflict of interest, right? Because you washed your hands of that dirt bag. Oh. [somber music]

I know my mom took a lot of crap for her twins not having the same dad. People called her a slut, a whore. Even Grandma Susan looked down on her. Well, I wonder. I wonder what Grandma Susan’s gonna think when she finds out her precious Elvis is a rapist!

So–so everyone in your family knew about this?

No. No, they didn’t. My Grandma Kate said that they all made a pact. All the ones who knew– my mom, her, Lucas, even Roman, whose daughter this pig blackmailed into having sex with him. You all agreed never to tell me.

We did that to protect you.

No, they. They. Theydid it to protect me. Youdid it to protect yourself. So that I’d never find out what I really am.

You are my son.

I am a lie. I didn’t come from love. I’m not here because two people wanted to be together. I’m here because a monster viciously violated an innocent woman.

Son, look, I know what I did was terrible, but you don’t know the whole story. Your mother and I, we– there was a spark between us, and she refused to acknowledge it.

So it’s her fault?

It wasn’t just that. Like, your–your nonno.

Uh-huh?

Your nonno was pressuring me. He had this insane idea that a Brady had to be impregnated by a DiMera. He was–he was dying. He was dying, and he believed that the baby’s stem cells would provide a cure. I was–I was trying to save his life.

Oh, I see. I see. So you’re–you’re the hero, huh?

Your grandfather asked me.

So–so it’s his fault? So it’s his fault, and it’s my mom’s fault. But why am I not surprised that– that you will blame anybody but yourself?

I’m just trying to make you understand.

Well, I don’t. And I never will. [somber music]

OK, Annie Oakley. Let’s get you out of here.

We thought we heard voices up here. [suspenseful music]

What are you doing in my mother’s home?

We’re hoping that the two of you can answer some questions.

Well, we don’t need to talk to you.

Actually, you do.

I was recently reinstated as commissioner.

Oh. Good for you. Uh, but you’re not going to arrest my mother again.

Like I said, I just have a couple questions.

About?

About when EJ was holding Rafe prisoner.

We think that he was holding me here.

Either one of you know anything about that?

Well, look who’s finally awake.

[sighs] I still can’t believe I did this. I mean, after everything he did to Rafe and Jada and Ava and– I know that EJ is terrible for me. He is perilous and ruinous, and I can’t stop.

You know what they call this? I have some experience. It’s called an addiction.

Yeah, I think you might be right. Ugh. Anyway, I did throw him out tonight. I made it very clear that this was the last time. And–and I hope I can do it.

Sounds like the DA needs some DA. [quirky music]

DiMera Anonymous.

[chuckles]

That was a good one.

[laughs]

I wasn’t making excuses, Johnny. I–I was just simply trying to explain.

Why you refused to take responsibility for raping my mother?

OK, I– I know how that must have sounded, and I– I want to be clear, I’m not blaming your mother, and I’m not blaming my father. I know what I did was wrong.

Wrong? It was depraved. You were so eager to please daddy that you forcibly impregnated my mother! You never wanted me. You wanted to harvest my stem cells. I wasn’t a human being. I wasn’t a person. Neither was my mom. We were just things for you to use and throw away.

No, that it– that is not true.

No?

No.

You know, Uncle Chad warned me. He warned me to take Chanel as far away as I could from this messed-up family. God, I wish we could run now. To LA, to Italy, to the frickin’ moon. Anywhere to get away from you. But here’s the problem. Now, it doesn’t matter where I go, because there I’ll be, a product of your crime.

If you’d just let me–

You know, rape is not about sex. It’s about power. It’s about control. And you have tried to control me my entire life– my career, my marriage, my child. Our child. When Chanel was pregnant with a baby that we knew might be born with abnormalities and we were trying to figure out what to do, do you remember? Remember what you said to me?

That I would support your decision unconditionally.

No. No. You told me that this child is DiMera, first and foremost. You’re just like Stefano. [somber music]

Well, he may have been able to control you, gotten you to assault a woman on his behalf. But you will never control me, and you will never control my child.

I promised to stay out of the adoption process.

Oh, you’ll do a whole hell of a lot more than that. You will stay out of that child’s life. That DiMera legacy that you’re always crowing on about, it is pain. It is violence. It is cruelty. And we want nothing to do with it.

Please don’t say that.

Well, how does it feel, Dad? How does it feel to not be in control and not be able to pin me down and take what you want?

Please tell me what I can do to make things right.

You can’t. You’re my father. I’m supposed to be able to trust you. You kept this from me my whole life.

I never wanted you to know because I’m not that man anymore.

And ever since it happened, a part of me has always deeply regretted it.

Only a part of you?

Yes. Because as much as I hate it… if I hadn’t done it, I wouldn’t have had you.

Son–

No.

I know that you’re hurting right now and that I have disappointed you terribly. But I love you. More than anything. I love you. Is there any chance– is there any chance at all that you can find it in your heart to forgive me? Please.

So did Marlena and Steve get to the airport OK?

Yeah. Mom texted, said their flight to DC was about to take off, so–

Well, hopefully they can get Shane to give some information about dad.

Hm. Sooner rather than later.

I brushed my teeth.

You did? Come here. Did you get all of them?

Daddy.

I’m just kidding. I’m just joking.

Rachel, what are you reading?

“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.”

Ooh. Ooh. Now it’s a sleepover. Do you want me to read the next chapter to you?

I want Grandpa John to read it.

Honey, um, maybe–

You know what? Can I read it to you? Grandpa John used to read me that book when I was your age, and so I happen to know exactly how he does it.

That’s true.

OK.

OK. Yeah.

Here we go. [clears throat] All right. [somber music]

If you think… that I’m gonna forgive you, you’re nuts. I will never forgive you. I can’t even look at you. Just leave. I said, get out of here. Go!

All right. If that’s what you want.

Baby, I’m so, so sorry.

I don’t–I don’t understand any of this. How– how could my own father do something so horrible?

I know this is a lot–

I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what to think– about myself. About everything. Knowing that this is the only reason he’s my father. I–I–I–I– I hate him. I hate him, Chanel. I swear to God, if I had a gun right now, I’d kill him. [soft dramatic music]

[sobbing] [sniffles] [breathes heavily]

You know, um, thanks to my stint at Bayview, I’m not eligible to purchase a gun.

Then you’re lucky I’m offering you one. Perhaps we can call it a, uh, peace offering.

Yeah. I’ll get it back to you.

Hey, no rush. You need it, you use it. [soft dramatic music]

Ms. Blake, did EJ bring Rafe into this house?

Neither of us have anything to say to you. Now, if you would both kindly please leave.

Look, like I said, I’m not trying to cause any trouble between you two, OK?

Really?

Yes, really. And look, I could easily bring your mother in as an accessory after the fact. But as I said, I want to bring down EJ. And, Kristen, there’s no love lost between you and your brother, so why don’t you just tell me what I want to know?

Hm. I’m sorry. We have nothing to say to you.

Oh, is that right? Well, someone is gonna go down for what happened to Rafe. OK? And like I said, I’m only interested in EJ. But if I can’t get enough evidence to build a case against him for the DA, then someone else will go down. So your mother might want to reconsider about being quiet, because the next time I come, I will be coming with a search warrant and an arrest warrant.

All right. [tense music]

She definitely knows something.

Mm-hm. We’re not going to stop until we find out what it is.

Interview with Enrico Colatoni

TV Interview!

Interview with Enrico Colatoni of “Suits LA” on NBC by Suzanne 3/13/25

It was quite an honor to interview Enrico because I’ve long admired him as an actor. He seemed surprised but pleased when I told him that I’d first seen him 30 years ago in the show “Hope & Gloria,” which was also his first regular TV role. The show didn’t last long, but he went on to do many good roles, such as playing the alien Mathesar in the now-classic scifi comedy movie “Galaxy Quest,” and then in the long-running sitcom “Just Shoot Me”. He’s done so many wonderful roles since. I particularly loved his role in “Veronica Mars,” where he played Keith, Veronica’s father.

This Sunday, March 16th, he’s guest-starring on an episode of “Suits LA” on NBC. He’s playing himself…or rather, a more quirky and irascible version of himself. I hope you can tune in just for his role on the episode, but that’s not the only thing in store for viewers because there is another famous guest-star that will be seen (I won’t spoil it for you, but if you scroll down to the bottom of this page, you’ll see who it is). It’s not exactly a spoiler because the photo was all over social media already. It’s a very good episode and very fun. I wasn’t sure, at first, if I would like this version of “Suits” as much as the original, and the jury is still out (pardon the pun). However, I am definitely enjoying the intrigue, the office politics and the quirky humor. Don’t miss this one! “Suits LA” airs Sundays, 9/8c on NBC and then streaming on Peacock.

I completely forgot that I had interviewed Enrico back in 2013 for “Warehouse 13!” Wow! That’s what happens when you’ve been doing this for 18 years, I guess! The interview here is short, but it was fun. He was in a bit of a playful mood. Please watch and enjoy…

Interviews with Alexander Hodge and Matt Davis of “Grosse Pointe Garden Society” on NBC by Suzanne

I had a blast speaking with both of these amazing artists. Alexander plays Alice’s husband, Doug, who’s an artist. Matt plays a world-weary cop. Both actors were a lot of fun to chat with – the complete opposite of their somewhat-dour characters. I hope you watch the show, which twists and turns with many mysteries and has lots of humor, too. It reminds me of “Desperate Housewives,” with a little bit of “Devious Maids” and “How to Get Away with Murder” thrown in. The show airs Sundays 10/9C or streaming on Peacock.

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I’m so proud of you, Mom. The Distinguished Service Award. I wish… I know you would have been there if you could, Kat. And that letter you sent was wonderful. More precious to me than that award. I’ll be at the next and every single award ceremony after. Best Daughter award goes to you. Need something? Oh, isn’t this dinner with the Grands night? Are you trying to get rid of me? [scoffs] Why would I do that? Would it have something to do with that table for two? Anyone I know? Starting a side hustle as a psychiatrist/psychic? Walk in depressed, walk out with the lottery numbers?

[laughs]

Your humor is trying to mask your desire to make me disappear, and, oh, hold on. It’s getting clearer. You’ll have a lovely night. Funny, Mom. No, I’m just looking out for you. We all know how grandmother feels

about tardiness.

[sighs]

Mm.

Love you. Have fun, but not too much fun. ♪ ♪ ASHLEY: Okay.

Take it easy.

Mm. This is the part where you get back in bed. You know I’m all better, right? I think you want to keep me here for observation

’cause you’re crazy about me.

Firefighter Baldwin,

I am on duty.

Mm…

Gonna be my night nurse?

If you’re lucky. I got a whip-smart girlfriend and I walk through fires. Damn right I’m lucky.

Bed.

Okay.

Now, this is what I call glorious.

Mm. Being here with you, relaxing, enjoying the finer things in life. Being able to breathe and be hopeful. The future we always dreamed of.

Mm-hmm.

[door closes] Until one of our children or grandchildren disrupts things.

Hey, look who’s here.

Hello.

Hi, you two.

[both laugh] Your sister will be here any minute, and then we can all sit down to a lovely family meal. What is Rowena cooking? It smells heavenly. Coq au vin.

With her famous apple tart for dessert.

Mm-hmm. Oh, I wish I could stay, but I can’t. Why not? DANI: I have a bit of business I need to attend to.

Business?

ANITA: Well, if this is taking you away from the weekly family meal, this business must be earth-shattering. We’re dying to hear. ♪ ♪ My business is mine alone, and I-I don’t want to discuss it because I’m afraid of jinxing it. But enough about me. Nicole, where are you going to display your new award? With all your honors and statuettes, you must be running out of room. This business you’re attending to wouldn’t have anything to do with Bill and Hayley, would it? DANI: They are honeymooning. Out of sight, out of mind. Naomi said she caught you looking at their photo dumps on social media. So that’s what we walked in on. It was nothing, Mother. And why is she discussing that with you?

She’s concerned. We all are.

Well, you don’t need to be. And no, to answer your question, my business has nothing to do with the Shamiltons. Fine. Fine. If-if you must know, I am this close to landing a very hot designer who shall remain nameless for Chelsea’s fashion show. All I need to do to seal the deal is go out to drinks and we’re golden.

Well, that’s exciting.

Mm-hmm. You know the fashion world. Always something afoot. Sorry you won’t be joining us. Send Rowena my regards. There’s apple tart for dessert. I wish I could reschedule, but I won’t say no to leftovers.

There won’t be any.

[chuckles]

Good luck with your meeting.

Thanks, Mom.

Mm-hmm.

I will check in tomorrow. Sissy, keep polishing those awards. And when you see Andre the next time, tell him he knocked it out of the park with that video, right? That nephew of yours, he’s got a gift. Got to fly. Love you. [sighs] ANDRE: Hey. Knock, knock.

Hey, sorry to interrupt.

ASHLEY: Andre.

Hey.

Here to see your aunt? No, here to see you. So, I ran into a friend who works for the Washington Record, and she heard about your daring rescue.

She wants to do a piece about you.

That’s wonderful.

That’s awful.

What? Come on, Derek. It’ll be fun. Yeah, I volunteered to do the pictures, for that personal touch. That is so nice of you. You have to do this. I mean, you don’t care, do you, Derek? No, it really wasn’t a big deal, and I’m out of uniform, so… No, don’t even sweat it. You know, the whole Fire Guy of the Month thing

works for you.

[Ashley chuckles]

ANDRE: Smile.

[camera shutter clicks] [camera shutter clicks] DANI: Violating neighborhood rules with this tackiness? I would laugh if it weren’t so vulgar. [sighs] [gasps]

Okay. Careful.

All right. [chuckles] You got the shot you wanted? Eh, they can’t all be winners. Hey, this time, try to think about the folks who have a lot more days ahead because you decided to show up.

Let me get out of your way.

Oh, stay. It’s better with you in it.

It’s…

Is that okay with you?

The closer the better.

[laughs] All right.

[camera shutter clicks]

[clears throat] [indistinct P.A. announcement] I hate this. Can you tell?

Not at all. [chuckles]

Yeah, you look great.

One more. And…

[camera shutter clicks]

Perfection.

DEREK: Yeah. Glad you got

what you came for.

Yeah. Uh, let me let you get back to saving lives. [Ashley chuckles] Bye, Andre.

[grunts]

Ooh. Are you okay? Do you need more pain meds? No, it’s not that bad. Maybe if you could just

rub my head a little?

Yeah. Here. Is that better? [both chuckle] You are going to get your picture and your story in the newspaper? That was so nice of Andre. If you say so. What’s that supposed to mean? [R&B music playing]

Amor.

[chuckles] You look increíble. Tomas, I didn’t know you were here. Someone named Eva let me in. This is very sweet. Thank you so much. And please tell me Eva was on her way out?

She’s not a friend?

My mother’s personal assistant. She’s filling in until the real deal heals, but till that happy day, we’re stuck with Evil Eva. She didn’t look so sinister to me. Looks can be deceiving. She’s up to something, I know it. But my mom thinks she’s some kind of diamond in the rough.

Your mother’s very trusting.

Yeah, she’s a psychiatrist. You’d think she’d be able to see through people, but… that’s my mom for you.

Seeing the best in the ones who don’t deserve it.

Hmm. VERNON: Mighty quiet over there, Dr. Richardson. She must be having some very deep thoughts. Let her cook. Am I the only one who has doubts about Dani and this business meeting? We shouldn’t believe her? Just a few days ago, she was packing heat at her ex-husband’s wedding. She says she’s moved on, but then she’s stalking them on social media, looking at pictures of Bill’s Italian honeymoon. I guess it was too much to hope that she had gotten past it like she said. After a decades-long marriage and complete betrayal? Not likely. Might still carry a torch for that man, but at least she’s not carrying a gun.

Amen. Thank God for that.

Hmm. A-And how would she start trouble even if she wanted to? You know, Bill and Hayley are thousands of miles away. There’s that, I just… Calm yourself, Nicole. We have nothing to worry about. Dani has learned her lesson. George. Goodness, you scared

the life out of me.

I’m sorry, ma’am.

I didn’t mean to startle you.

Well, it’s good to know that Fairmont Security moves with the stealth of a cat. Uh, yeah. Well, I was just doing my rounds and noticed you coming up the driveway, so… Yes, I know, it is late for a visit. Uh, well, the thing is, Mr. Hamilton, uh, and the other Mrs. Hamilton are on their, uh… uh, well, vacation.

George?

Yes. You can say the word.

Honeymoon.

Gotcha. Time heals all wounds. And so much that I am bringing them a wedding gift.

You don’t say.

Mm-hmm. Well, that’s mighty generous of you because I, um… Uh, well, to be blunt, I heard about what happened at the wedding. You mean when I pulled a gun on the bride and groom?

Yes.

Not my proudest moment, but I’m pleased to let you know that it also was not as harrowing as they all made it seem in the media. Okay, well, that’s-that’s good to know. [chuckles] There’s absolutely nothing to worry about.

Hmm.

George? You’re looking at this box like I have a gun inside it. I am happy to let you know that I do not. Okay. [laughs]

All right.

It’s a bomb. [indistinct P.A. announcement] ♪ ♪ [stifled laugh] Huh. Huh… ASHLEY: Are you ever not actively flirting?

No. Not when it comes to you.

[laughs softly] ASHLEY: No, I want to know what you meant. I said it was so thoughtful of Andre to get his friend to write a story about you in the Washington Record, and you’re like, “If you say so”? Did I say that? I don’t remember. Must have been the concussion, or all the smoke inhalation. [coughs] [knocking on door] I’m not through with you. Come in. Hi. Can I help you with something? I’m looking for a young man. Well, we’ve got a few. Any in particular? Uh, that one. Uh, well, this one’s actually taken so… Uh, well, I don’t want to keep him. I’m Lucille, and I just want to thank you. Thank me? For what? For saving my baby’s life. I bring tidings of great joy. Something tells me Rowena’s ready to ring the dinner bell. My nose never lies. [chuckles] She just took the rolls out of the oven. Well, listen, can’t insult the chef by being late to the table.

Nicole?

[sighs]

I hate to do this, but…

You’re needed at the hospital. I’m sorry. One of my patients. Please tell Rowena I apologize.

I’ll save you a piece of apple tart.

Mmm. Thank you. I love you. Love you more, baby.

Be careful.

Always. [door closes] Lucky me.

Starting with dessert.

[laughs] I get you all to myself. There ain’t nothing sweeter than that. There’s more life and love in you, Mr. Dupree, than any man half your age. [chuckles] Nice to hear it. Because the way your children have been behaving lately, it’s-it’s draining, Anita. I mean, all that drama. And Dani?

Well, she’s your child.

No… Yours. Unpredictable is what she is. A bomb, did you say? Did-did you say a bomb? [laughs] The look on your face, George. Priceless. You didn’t think I was serious, did you? I’m not-not gonna lie, you got me that time, Ms. Hamilton. Uh, it’s Dupree again.

Ms. Dupree.

Ms. Dupree, and I hold absolutely no lingering feelings for Bill or the new Mrs. Hamilton.

No animosity.

Okay. [sniffles] And they have forgiven me for my stress reaction at their wedding. Well, that’s really good. All I want is a fresh start. And for them to really know how I feel about their union. And to give them something they’ll never forget. Mm. Sounds like steps in the right direction. And I want it to be the first thing that they see when they get home. So if you could just give me the code. And what code would that be, Ms. Dupree? So I could leave it inside for them,

safe and secure.

Oh… So if I were to give you that code, I could lose my job. I would never let that happen to you. You mean too much to me. To Fairmount Crest. You’re much more than an employee, George.

I hope you know that.

[sighs] After all the time that you’ve been with us and everything that you’ve done for us, you’re practically family. So, a little peace offering to the happy couple.

[clears throat]

And it’ll be our little secret. Please? [sighs]: Hmm. Oh, the little guy from the fire.

I remember him.

Hi. LUCILLE: You could hold Pooneil, but after that death-defying rescue… Uh, it really wasn’t a big deal. It was the bravest thing I’d ever seen. I-It takes a special kind of human to run into a house when the roof has seconds away from collapsing. Uh, wait, I’m sorry, come again? Seconds? You knew the roof was collapsing? LUCILLE: Yeah… This cat means the world to me. He has seen me through so many rough times. To be honest, when you saved him, you saved me. And our hero forever. DEREK: Well, just-just… doing my job, like I said. Don’t mention it. Bless you. Bless you. Thank you so much. I can explain. Good. Start. [sighs] Andre. What’s got your attention? Mind if I take a look? TOMAS: Something smells delicioso. Well, I hope you like coq au vin. My grandparents’ cook taught me how to make it. Smells like you were a good student. Well, wait till you taste it. The kitchen in my place is the size of a postage stamp. So that’s why we’re here. My parents’ place. I see. And they are joining us? Nope. They’re out for the night, so we have the place to ourselves. Here’s to a wonderful evening, then. So, what’s it like working for my former Uncle Bill? Hmm. I could tell you the truth. He’s a tough attorney who goes to the wall for his clients. Or I could say he’s impossible…

Hmm.

…hard to please, works the clerks to the brink of exhaustion and that he’s heartless

and unforgiving.

Mm.

That’s what I want to hear.

[both chuckle] They’re both Bill. Different sides of him, I guess.

He’s complicated.

Mm-mm. It’s cut-and-dry to me. He’s selfish, small-minded and not to be trusted. You hate him. Understatement. Well, there’s at least one good thing he did recently. He gave me his blessing. [scoffs] For what? To see you. You were discussing me with him? I only told him that we’d met and that I like you. Oh. Do you? Muchísimo. You trust me, George, don’t you? Known me half my life. From Dupree to Hamilton and back again. You’re right. And my heart went out to you at that press conference. That man really did you dirty. Thanks. You know, after everything that you and your family have done for me… 8-3-9-4-2. But listen, you didn’t hear it from me. It is our little secret. You’re the best.

Night, now.

Night. [laughs softly]

[keypad beeping]

8-3-9-4-2. Voilà. [door opens] Arrivederci, Roma. Hello, U.S.A. [both chuckle] [sighs] Yeah, I’m sorry we had to cut the honeymoon short, though, babe. And that this limousine ride from Manhattan is the quickest way to get us home today. But I’ll make it up to you. You know that, right?

Bill.

Hmm? I’m the wife of a very important attorney now, and I’m far from disappointed.

Yeah?

Mm-hmm. Despite the long ride? Yeah. We’re one step closer from making our new house a home.

Home sweet home.

Mm-hmm. Mm. Mm-mm-mm. You know, most wives would be disappointed by a shortened honeymoon. Oh. Well, it’s not your fault that when a client needs help, they call the best. And I know from experience how important it is to have Bill Hamilton’s full attention

on the matter at hand.

Mm-hmm-hmm. How did I get this lucky? A wife who loves law almost as much as she loves her lawyer. Mm. You’re so incredible. And just because we’re cutting the Italian part of the honeymoon short doesn’t mean we can’t continue it on Marigold Road, babe. Huh. You know what?

You’re right.

Mm-hmm. And I’m looking forward to that. Mm. And that gives us even more time to make that beautiful house into your dream come true, Bill. Mm. [beeping]

[beeps]

Hmm. Should have changed your password, Bill. Old dog, new tricks. [whistling “Bridal Chorus”] What’s the big secret? Use the wrong f-stop, forget to…

[scoffs]

…take off the lens cap? Uh… um… I-If you must know… [gasps] Andre. ANDRE: Yeah, I wanted to surprise you with it.

Do you like it?

You know I want that framed, right? [laughs softly] ANDRE: Now don’t fall in love with this one. I got a whole photo album full of all the photos from the gala. This one I want for my office, the other ones you can send along to coordinate with Eva for a drop-off. The new assistant. You know, she’s a… a promising young lady. Don’t make promises you can’t keep. And keep your hands off Ms. Thomas, please. She is sweet, smart and indispensable. And what? I’m the Big Bad Wolf? We don’t need any more broken hearts. Gotcha. And for the record, um, Eva’s just a friend. My real interest lies… …elsewhere. Did your chief give you clearance to run into that building when the roof was about to collapse? If I wait for approval, someone could die. That someone could be you, Derek. What if you’d been killed?

I wasn’t.

Why would you risk it? That’s the job. I put out fires, I rescue lives. People and, if it works out that way, animals. You know that. W-Why are you acting like this? It’s not like you to take crazy chances. Something’s eating at you. I can tell. You’re weird. [scoffs] Oh, is that your medical diagnosis? I-I’ve got terminal weirdness? Something’s off with you. If I need a shrink, I’ll call Dr. Nicole. Just be my girl. Nothing’s wrong. I was doing my job and I love what I do. Same way you feel about nursing. I’m careful, Ashley. You still haven’t answered my question about that thing you said when I said what Andre did was nice and you said, “If you say so.” What did that mean?

[phone buzzes]

[sighs] This is Ashley. Yeah, be right there. That thing I said was nothing. Get back to the job you love so much. Get some rest.

I’ll check on you later.

Okay. So, what’d you think? You make a mean coq au vin. I-I actually have a confession to make.

Should I worry?

I didn’t make the dinner. My parents cooked it. [chuckles] I was worried it was gonna be something serious.

Like what?

Yo no sé. “Tomas, you don’t hate Bill Hamilton, so I poisoned the chicken.” [laughs] “Tomas, I’m being transferred to Los Angeles, and this is the last time you’ll see me.” Oh, so, you’re worried this might be our first and last date? Wait, are you saying this is a date? Almost. Well, we had dinner and drinks, good conversation and a hint of chemistry. Hmm. What’s missing? Well, for this to truly be a well-rounded date, it has to end with a kiss. Mm-hmm. Why do we have to wait until the end? ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ You look like you’re thinking about something. I was just wondering, if your kitchen is the size of a stamp, how big is your bed? Mm. You’d be surprised. I like surprises. Not tonight. Meaning we’ll have a next time? I think your chances of date number two are very, very good. But maybe after another confession. Let’s hear it. I’ve never, um…

you know…

Cooked? That’s no big deal. Look, you’re not making this easy. No, this is fun. You’ve never… dated an attorney? Oh, I’ve dated a couple. But fully dressed, w-with no briefs of any kind. [chuckles] That’s a good one. No briefs? You mean you’ve never… Never ever? [laughs softly] Huh. Does this other interest have a name? I think you have the wrong idea about me,

and the depths of my heart.

[laughs] A lothario with a heart of gold? Good luck with that. Get me those proofs. I’m on it. If it isn’t Mr. Van Der Zee.

Ah, she knows her photographers.

Mm-hmm. Hey, you think I could get a look at that video you did for Dr. Richardson and your Uncle Ted for her award ceremony?

So you heard about that?

Well, Dr. Nicole’s got a lot of fans around here. She’s always so quiet about the good that she does. We love seeing her get the recognition. Yeah, yeah– um, I got it in my phone if you have a second.

Really?

Yeah. Uh, yeah, I think I could spare a minute.

Sure.

Okay. Let’s see. Which one…

I think that’s yours.

Oh. [chuckles]

There you go, babe.

Thank you. Mm-hmm. So, what was your favorite part?

Of the honeymoon?

Mm-hmm. Well, I did enjoy waking up in that hotel overlooking the Spanish Steps with our own private terrazza.

Ooh, listen to you.

Mm. Oh, and what was the name of that church with the artwork? Oh… [chuckles] You gonna have to narrow that down, babe. The one with the scary mask outside? Scary? Oh, um…

El Bocca della Verità.

Yes. The Mouth of Truth in Santa Maria, where you didn’t want to put your hand in its mouth. [laughs] I was scared.

What if he’d bitten my hand off?

[laughs] Mm-mm. Mm. Legend says you can only get your hand chomped off

if you tell a lie while your hand is in its mouth.

Mm. Or if you’re just generally shady, but you’re the truest, most honest person I know, so… Mm. Well, I guess I just don’t like taking chances.

[both chuckle]

Now, I have clients who have difficulty extricating themselves, but you, Hayley Hamilton? Mm-mm. Never.

Mmm.

Well, what was your favorite part? Aside from being alone with you?

Mm-hmm.

Cashing in on that promise you made on our wedding night.

Bill Hamilton.

Girl. Ooh. Where’d you learn to do that? Oh, something I read, you know, but never got a chance to try.

Mm.

Did you enjoy your experience? Mm-hmm, and I can’t wait to get home

so I can experience it again.

Oh. Well, why wait? Isn’t there a limousine version of the Mile High Club? Hayley. Oh, another new adventure? But you said you don’t take chances. Oh, something’s telling me that this will be worth it. Hmm. I know you can’t see through that screen up there, but, um, is it soundproof? We’ll keep it down.

Oh, okay.

Mm-hmm.

Mm.

Yes. [laughs] [both moaning] The 1992 Chateau de la Colere Cabernet Sauvignon. Bill and I had a bottle of you at our wedding, too. The effort and energy he put into acquiring you… Not to mention the expense. Chased you halfway around the world. Same way he did with me all those years ago. Relentless. Even had you delivered to our new home via special messenger. I always thought I’d open you after he won a landmark case or… on our 50th anniversary. But now I say, why wait to celebrate? Mmm. Mmm. Not bad, ’92. Not bad at all.

Mmm.

[doorbell rings] I wonder who could be at the door at this hour. One of your kids lost their keys? Or it’s one of their kids. Ms. Rowena let me in.

Come on in, George.

Sorry to disturb you so late. ANITA: Is everything all right? Uh, yes, I was just doing my rounds and I noticed that the latch on your back gate was broken.

Now, I can fix it myself or I could…

No, I’ll call the handyman in the morning.

Okay.

Could I interest you in some dessert? Mmm, I wish I could, but I’m trying to watch my figure.

[chuckles]

Oh, we have plenty. Nicole was called to the hospital and Dani had an important business meeting. You mean Miss Used-to-be-Hamilton? But I just, uh…

Okay…

But what, George?

You’ve never?

Never ever.

You’re a virgin?

Yep. Wow. I mean, you’re so… You seem so…

Looks can be deceiving.

[laughs softly]

So I’ve heard.

[chuckles] That’s incredible. I’m not like a unicorn or anything. May I ask follow-up questions? I’ll decide when you’ve crossed the line. Shoot. Is this for religious reasons? Not really. Medical? Saving yourself for marriage? Right guy at the right time. I just haven’t met him yet. You have high standards. Well, when I meet the guy who’s worthy of getting to know me in that way, I’ll know. No rush. But, um… Some guys, when they hear that, they don’t know how to act. So, how about you, Tomas? Disappointed? I’ve had a wonderful night with a rare and inspiring woman. How could I possibly be disappointed? Oh, good, you’re still awake. Hey. Everything okay? Derek, I have something I need to tell you. Okay. I’m in love with Andre.

You’re what?

I’m so sorry I have to tell you like this, but I just couldn’t keep it a secret anymore. You’re serious? Yeah. She said she wanted to break the news before we took it to the next level. Got a great girl. Well, had. Wait a second. Ash, baby, talk to me. We’re moving in together. Yeah, we’re gonna adopt a cat. Andre picked the name. Yeah. We’re gonna call him Derek.

Isn’t that the cutest thing?

[chuckles]

ANDRE: No, you are.

ASHLEY: No, you are.

You are.

[chuckles] [gasps] [panting] Oh, my gosh, Andre, this video is incredible. It’s amazing. You’re amazing. Andre.

Were you about to kiss me?

[scoffs] Uh… Do you have something to tell us about Dani, George? George? Uh, well, I was, um… [stammers] Well, no, I was just surprised that she had a meeting at this hour. It’s getting late, that’s all. Well, it’s a part of our unofficial family motto. We can rest in the afterlife. [all laugh] Are you sure I can’t offer you some dessert? Uh, I would love to, but work calls, so…

Always good to see you, George.

Thank you. And thank you for keeping Fairmont Crest safe. You know, my beautiful 1992… I don’t know which one to blame more. My ex. Or the viper. [gasps] I have the perfect solution. They can both share. [sighs] Mrs. Hamilton is full of surprises. Mm, well, you’ve had your share of run-of-the-mill vanilla. It’s nothing wrong with a little rocky road

to keep you on your toes.

[both laugh]

And we’re just getting started.

Yeah. Mm. Oh. [stammers] I think we’re almost, what, more than halfway there, I think. You know, I know we were only gone for a few days, and I loved our honeymoon, but… There’s no place like home.

Mm, yes.

[both laugh] I’m so ready. [sighs] DANI: Ugh! Well done, Chateau de la Colere. [laughs] Oh. [laughs] It’s gonna be a million-dollar hangover, but it was worth it. You’re too good for Bill Hamilton. And frankly, so was I. Let’s drink to us. Mmm. Mmm. Oh, God. [sighs] Just a little disco nap. Mmm. Yeah. [sighs] [moans] That wasn’t my idea. I literally… Save it for someone who doesn’t know what you are. I don’t want anything that belongs to you. [scoffs] Please. Just my life and everything in it. So what is it this time?

It’s Ashley.

Andre. I don’t typically go for girls who already are attached. Where does that come from? I can’t do this. We weren’t meant to be together. We should call this thing off. You need to let that go. Would you care to explain why you’re trying to tell me what to do? You want me to sue my father’s firm? You think you have that in you? I want this so bad, I could taste it. Don’t try me again, Dani. You don’t want to see what happens when you do.

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

Oh, Sharon. We need to find that surveillance camera. We’ve already looked, Phyllis. Yeah, not hard enough, and they’re watching everything we do. Yeah, I know they are, which means they can also see us searching for the camera. Not if we’re smart. What? What do you want us to do? Sort of casually stroll through the room like we’re, I don’t know, measuring for wallpaper? What do you want to do? Just stand here and wait for them to do what they plan to do, which is probably kill us after they’ve had their fun? No, I say we just do it right out in the open. I don’t follow that. I mean, who cares? If they can see that we’re trying to dismantle the camera, let them. Let them come here and try to stop us. Oh, wait. You have something there. I like that. So what you’re saying is we shouldn’t pretend to sleep. We should just dismantle the camera in the open and sort of dare them to come in here. At least it’ll give us a chance to try to get out of here. This is a good idea, and it just builds upon my idea. But you’re talking about doing everything out in the open and sort of lure them in, right? I like this. You’re taking it a step further. Okay, should we get looking? No, no, no, no. Let’s take it even one step further. What do you mean? Let’s trash the place. Let’s trash it like a rock star hotel room on New Year’s Eve. We’ll really get them down here. Let’s do it. I have some aggression to get out of my system. I’m sure you do, too. What are you waiting for? You know what? I better give Summer a call. I talked to Daniel and Summer. There’s no update on Phyllis. Nobody’s heard anything. Damn it. -I’m sorry, Nick. -Yeah, it’s just with every lead that doesn’t pan out, with every hour that goes by, our worst suspicions are being confirmed. There’s something wrong here. You know, when you first mentioned the idea that maybe Sharon and Phyllis were kidnapped, I’m really starting to think that’s a possibility. Well, I know that Chance is going to really lean into that angle. He’s already talked to the highway patrol, all the hospitals, the local clinics. Maybe that’ll turn something up. Look at us, huh? Coming together to try and find Phyllis and Sharon. It’s a– it’s a little ironic, given our history. It’s kind of crazy. Chance is going over some security footage. Um, it might narrow down the search area for where Sharon and Phyllis are being held. Okay, well, that’s great. Whereabouts? It’s an old warehouse district, a lot of abandoned buildings, a lot of places in the shadows to hide where nobody can hear you. Does that make any sense to you? Click here for information on the Havenhurst Psychiatric Clinic. You don’t think this is spam, Nick? Let’s see if this is even a real place to start with. Hm. So, Havenhurst Clinic is an actual clinic. It seems like it’s permanently closed, though. I’ve got a map of the warehouse district that Chance’s team can search. Let me guess. Havenhurst is in there. It is. And that can’t possibly be a coincidence. If this is, this confirms that Phyllis and Sharon are being held hostage in the facility. They already shared their location, Nick. We can go to them now. We can help. I love you too, Supergirl. I will call you once I get to Havenhurst and figure out what’s going on. I promise you, we’re going to find your mother and Sharon and bring them home. You just have to hang in there. Bye. Summer sounds scared. Man, she’s terrified. The whole family is. Well, it’s been a nightmare for months for Phyllis and Sharon’s family, and you’ve been at the nexus of both. Man, you aren’t kidding. First, Ian Ward shows up out of nowhere, links up with Jordan, somehow breaks her out of prison and they do all of this to just terrorize Sharon. Go after the Newmans again, too. Man, straight up evil. Now we’ve got this other lunatic on the loose who kidnaps both Sharon and Phyllis, man? It is just– It’s too much. Can’t argue with that. I just hope we get there in time. And what’s the plan when we get there? I don’t know, but Chance sure as hell is not going to like it that we’re there. I think the best thing we can do is just follow his lead. What if he tells us to turn around and go home? That is not happening. I agree. Just wanted to hear you say it. I just can’t stop trying to wrap my head around this whole thing. I don’t get it. This person kidnaps Sharon and Phyllis. They put them in an old abandoned psychiatric clinic. For what? There’s no ransom demand. There’s no notes. Just a riddle on an e-card. Who will pay the price to save the life of the mind? Still trying to figure out what that means. It can’t possibly be just a random comment. I mean, clearly someone is going to pay the price for saving them. Is it going to be Phyllis and Sharon? Is it us? I mean, he’s leading us directly to them. What does that mean? I don’t know. I wish I had an answer for you. But something tells me we’re going to get an answer very, very soon. Whoa. What– what are you two doing here? The same thing that you are. Nick, do not do that. What did I say? I said wait for me to call you. Yeah, I don’t remember you mentioning that. And it wouldn’t have mattered if we did. No, it wouldn’t have. If they’re in there, Chance, we’re not leaving. In fact, I’ll get the Newman security team to come out here and back us up. No, you are not. Now, I don’t need more complications around here, okay? I am in contact with them. Do not fight me on this either. Chance, what are these cops standing around for? Why aren’t we busting down the door? Well, Billy, we are waiting for the landlord to let us in, okay? Now, we don’t even know if Phyllis and Sharon are even in here. We got a text about this location from Phyllis’ burner phone. Where the hell else could they be? We will find out when the landlord gets here. Now, we’re also waiting for a search warrant.

A search warrant?

Yes, Billy, a search warrant. That’s how we do things. That’s the law. If they’re in there, we don’t know if they’re alive or what kind of condition they’re in. Last thing we have is a screenshot, okay? We don’t know what’s going on in there, Chance. I understand that you two are frustrated, okay? No, I don’t think you do. These women have been through hell the past six months. If they’re alive, it’s only from sheer luck and determination. Now you’re asking us to stand around and wait for permission to go in? I’m not asking, Nick. I’m ordering it, okay? Now, we don’t know what’s in there. This whole thing could be a diversion that this bastard cooked up. It could be a trap. We don’t know. My gut tells me it’s not. Okay, that’s great, but we’re not going to smash our way in. This is a police matter. We’re going to follow police procedure. You got it? [phone pinging] Would you look at that? Search warrant got approved. Okay, so does that mean– Like I said, Billy, we’re going to wait for the landlord to open the door. Ah! This feels great! It does, doesn’t it? I can’t believe we didn’t think about this before. You know what? I think that we both got so tired of being lab rats. I am not a rodent. You know what? You’re right, Phyllis. You’re not. You have always just been you. And you know what that is? I’ll tell you. A holy terror!

Yeah.

SHARON: A terror! A holy terror. That’s more like it. Ah! This is so cathartic! You know what? This one… is for Ian Ward. You sick son of a bitch! You wanted a family? My family? Well, you were willing to kill for it. You almost killed me! Oh, my. And you know what you got from that? Your own funeral. Yeah, that’s right. A sad and lonely death. Because there was no one there to mourn you. Now that is real justice. That is justice. And guess what? This is for you, Jordan! Jordan, the devil’s bride! Yeah, that’s right. This is for you, Jordan. Jordan, thanks a lot for drugging me and sticking me in the sewer! Yeah, Jordan! And guess what? Thanks a lot for running me off the road! And you know what? This, this one… This one… This is for poisoning my medication, making me out of my mind. I didn’t know what I was doing. This is for Heather’s death! For me blaming Daniel and putting you and your family through so much pain. I’m– I’m really sorry about all of that. We don’t need to go there. Sharon. We don’t. We don’t need to go there anymore. We don’t. Honestly, I– I… I think that part, it’s good that I– I was stuck here with you. Because I realized I wasted so much of my life trying to get you to pay for all the crimes you committed. That you thought I committed. You know, we both have had a lot of time here to think about us, you and me, and what our hatred has cost us. Yeah. I guess it took being imprisoned here by some psychotic and all of our history being thrown in our face for us to realize it. I’ve heard of tough love, but you know, this is kind of ridiculous. Ah, this is very sweet and warm and runny, but we got a job to do. We gotta– we gotta keep on going. Yeah, let’s keep going.

PHYLLIS: Yeah.

Hey, do you think that– Do you think they’re watching us? Oh, oh, listening, definitely listening. Hey! Listen to this! This isn’t a game anymore! We’re not going down without a fight! No, we are not going down! No, we can’t! We gotta do this for our family. Yeah, for our family, for sure. We have put them through too much already. Oh, my gosh, they’re scarred for life. And things were finally getting back on track, almost back to normal! Almost back to normal? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! But you had to bring us here to teach us a lesson. Yeah, well, lesson learned, sicko.

Thanks for that.

You can go to hell. ‘Cause we’re not done. We are not done.

We have too much to live for.

Too much. We have our families to live for. We have our families to live for. Daniel, Summer, Lucy. Noah, Mariah, Faith, Aria, Cassie’s memory, and…

Nick!

Nick.

[Sharon chuckling] [Phyllis laughing] [Sharon laughing] Cassidy First. Yes, yes, Cassidy First and your new job with Billy.

You have to fight for that.

I have to fight for my job. I definitely have to fight for my job. Yeah. Okay. You listening to that? I have to fight for my job. Come on, did you hear that? Yeah, what are you gonna do now? Now, you’re not gonna be able to see us. You won’t know what we’re thinking or planning.

Now, it’s your turn…

Wow.

…to wonder what’s going on.

No. [laughing] There’s no stopping us. You wanna try to stop us? There’s no stopping us! You try! Where is this guy? He said he’s on his way.

Is he walking?

He will be here. Okay. Now, we are as close to the middle of nowhere as one could possibly be without a map, so let’s just hang on a little bit longer. We have been hanging on. What are we supposed to tell the women if they’re in there? And I believe they are. You gotta hang on too? Hey, I know you’re anxious, okay? I am too. We all are. I wanna get this guy too. I want them locked away forever. But what I do not want is for them to escape by on some kind of legal technicality. No, what we don’t want is to finally get in and realize Sharon and Phyllis are dead because we’re out here deciding if we’re gonna break the law. I swear to God, if that landlord doesn’t show up, we’re busting down this door, Chance. Are you Detective Chancellor?

No, he is.

That’s me. What do you want me to do? Open the damn door! Hey! Wait a minute. Now, has anyone contacted you in the past few weeks showing interest in this place? I mean, think about it, man. Anything. A phone call, a text message. This place has been out of business for years. Give me the keys. Thank you. This isn’t working. What’s the problem? Somebody must have changed the locks. Well, that’s not possible, because you just said nobody’s inquired about this building for years, didn’t you? Man, we are wasting time. We need to get in there. Look, we’re gonna break this lock right now or smash through that door. You got a problem with that? SHARON: I can’t believe we actually found the camera. Yeah. This freak must be so good at hiding Easter eggs. Hey, there you go. I think you just solved the riddle. We were kidnapped by the Easter Bunny. That’s a great story to tell our kids. You know what? It would be no crazier than anything else. Oh, isn’t that the truth? Place looks great. Yeah. Yeah. I like our personal touch.

Junkyard chic.

Yes. That’s so funny. You’re funny. That– that’s a good thing, right? Yeah. It’s such a good thing.

Okay, no, I’m–

Take that as a compliment. I was just checking because I don’t usually get that from you. Yeah, I mean, I didn’t ever think you were particularly amusing, so, you know, but you were. Well, you know, it’s not like we bring out the laughs in each other, right? That’s for sure. It took us to be here in this hellhole to realize that, right? Because this was hilarious. Yeah. Oh, just a barrel of monkeys, right? There is a fine line between tragedy and comedy. You know, we should have thought to do this on day one. If we did it on day one– We would’ve saved ourselves a lot of misery. No, we would have clocked each other with a lamp or something. Oh, you know, you’re probably right. Yeah. Thank you. So, what happens now? Um, well, the voice can’t see us, right? So, I assume the voice will be very, very upset. We should expect a visit. Yeah, but this time, we will be ready for them. This time, we will have the upper hand. Damn straight we will. You know, probably, they’re gonna show up with some kind of weapon, though, right? Hm. Yeah, maybe. We should get something to protect ourselves. Um… I– I got this. I got this. Oh, this. Okay. Oh, yeah, that’s good. That– that works. Okay. Let’s get ready.

We should hit the lights.

Okay. So, we wait, right? We wait. The landlord doesn’t care about the building. Can we please just smash this door? Shatterproof glass, Billy. Knock yourself out.

There you go.

Hold on. Hold on. What’s the problem? We don’t know what’s in there, Nick. My people go first. Fine, but we’re right behind them. Did you hear that? Barely. It was definitely a door closing. Are you sure? It just sounded so far away. No, no, definitely. Definitely. Come on. Get ready.

Get ready.

Okay. [phone pinging] Hey. Look. Stay here just in case someone comes. What does it say? It’s another riddle. Not very sportsmanlike, ladies. You lose. That’s not a riddle. That is a threat. More like a death sentence. Are you having second thoughts? Hm. Just saying. Feels like we took the wrong bet. No. No, we didn’t. We smoked him out. We smoked the voice out. He’s coming for us. Come on. Get ready.

Come on.

No turning back now. No. No turning back now. He’s coming for us, and we are armed. We’re ready. All right? We’re gonna take him down. Yeah, yeah. It’s us against them. It is us against them, Sharon. It is us against them. We are badasses, and you know it. Everything that we’ve done in our life, everything that we have done to survive. Yeah, we are. Everything that we did to protect our family. We’re survivors. We’re survivors. Yes, we are survivors.

Take my hand. Take my hand.

Okay. All right? We got this.

Deep breaths.

We got this. [low hissing] What’s that? I don’t know. What is that? Oh, God. It’s gas. Where is the gas coming from? I don’t know. We got to find it. Yes, we have to find it now.

Oh, here. Here.

You found it? Yeah, behind the fridge. Okay, good. Turn it off. Please, turn it off. Right there. Damn it. SHARON: What? PHYLLIS: It’s not pushing.

Oh, God.

Oh, my God. Okay. Sharon, what are you doing? We got to find something. Here. Use this to try to stop it. [both coughing] NICK: What is that music? They’re here. I know it. Sharon! Phyllis! PHYLLIS: Come on. Come on. It isn’t working. PHYLLIS: I know. It’s not working. I’m choking on the fact it’s not working. Okay, calm down. Calm down. I can’t be calm. Come on. Oh, my God. We need something. We need, like, electrical tape or something. Okay, I’ll find something. Oh, my God. Is this your goal? You’re trying to snuff us out? You’re not gonna win. We’ll never let you win. We’re getting out of here. Here. Use this. Oh, God. Oh, my God. [coughing] Oh, my God. It’s not working. Sharon! Phyllis! Nick get back. Get back. [door bangs]

Wait. Wait a minute.

What?

Did you hear that?

What? It’s– [indistinct] It sounded like voices. Someone talking. PHYLLIS: Oh, God, it’s nothing. Just like I thought I heard the door close. It’s nothing. They would have found us by now

if it was someone.

SHARON: No. Phyllis, I mean it. I heard someone. You didn’t hear someone? Please find electrical tape. Come on. We don’t have a lot of time. But Phyllis, you know there isn’t any. Yes, there is. Look for it. Phyllis, get away from there.

Phyllis.

I can’t. Yes, you are gonna pass out if you don’t move. Move away! [Phyllis coughing] [doorknob rattles] None of the other rooms were locked. Oh, my God. No. Phyllis. Phyllis. The voice is here. What? Come on. Come on. You gotta get over here and help me. I don’t think I can. Phyllis. Phyllis. [doorknob rattles] [Phyllis coughing]

[door bangs]

[Sharon screaming] Phyllis. Phyllis, you need to keep your nose and mouth covered. NICK: Sharon! Phyllis! Nick. Oh, my God. Thank God. Phyllis, it’s Nick. He’s found us. Nick! We’re in here! Are you okay? Yes, but you need to hurry. Sharon, is Phyllis with you? Yes, she is. But she’s not doing so well. You have to hurry up. Phyllis, Phyllis, stay strong. They’re here. Stand back. We’re gonna shoot the lock. No! No, there’s been a gas leak. You’ll cause an explosion. Okay, then back up. Hey. BILLY: Phyllis. Phyllis. Stay. Stay with me. You’re safe. Phyllis, I’ve been looking for you. Phyllis? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Phyllis, okay, I got you. Is she okay, Billy? I don’t know. We got to get them out of here. Yep. Hey, I still think we should take them to the hospital, just in case, just to be safe. I don’t disagree, but the EMTs checked them out. They said they could go home. For as long as they were stuck in that room, they just want to feel something familiar, be in a safe place. You got anything new on that building? No, nothing new, but my guess, this guy didn’t leave much of a trail. I mean, seriously, this thing was carefully plotted out. What about the gas leak? It was programmed to go off. We found a trigger.

That’s crazy.

It’s diabolical. I mean, there was a lot of thought and a lot of preparation that went into this. I’m telling you, it’s not just some random kidnapping. I don’t understand. I mean, why would they do this? And who? How are you two feeling? Better, thanks. Alive. Which we didn’t think was gonna happen until you guys showed up. We had all but given up hope that anyone would be able to track us down in that horrible place. Look, we’re gonna fill you in on everything that’s happened later on, but right now, I need you to tell us, how did this happen? How did you end up in that clinic? We don’t know. We were drugged and we were taken there.

Separately?

Uh, yeah. I mean, we didn’t even know the other was there until we woke up. That’s for sure. We thought it was somebody’s idea of, um, a joke. Yeah, given our relationship. I mean, you guys probably thought we took each other out, right? Actually, I’ll rephrase that. You– you probably thought I took Sharon out, didn’t you? I mean, it may have come up. Well, I gave you ample reason to think that. You know, I certainly threatened it for a long time, which I’m sure this lunatic was betting on people thinking that way. Do you know who this lunatic is? No, we have no clue. We never even saw whoever it was. We did hear their voice, though. Yeah, and they spoke to us in this distorted voice. We don’t know if it was a man or a woman. And then we got the idea that maybe it could be that Jordan or Ian were still alive. PHYLLIS: They’re not alive, are they? No. I can vouch for that. Thank God. That is a blessing. Well, what that means is whoever this was is just as sick as they were, if not more so, if that’s even possible. Ian and Jordan are your garden variety psychopaths. Whoever this person is, they are sick. It was like they– they liked to watch us suffer. That they liked the game for their own entertainment, the game of cat and mouse. And you know how that game ends? The mouse dies. Well, I think everybody here is asking the same question. Who is this person? And it was just one person? We have no idea. Yeah, and they always spoke to us in the distorted voice, playing psychological games with us. What kind of games, exactly? They were riddles, mostly. The voice, that’s what we called him or whoever it was, would put us to a test to see if we could answer them. PHYLLIS: Yeah, and they knew about our history and our hostility toward each other through the years and they were using that. They knew a lot about us, which got us to thinking who would even care whether or not we got along? For a second I thought it was you.

Me? Seriously?

PHYLLIS: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, for years you were trying to broker peace between us and I thought that it was you. I mean, for a fleeting second I did. Look, of course, I want you two to get along, but I promise you, I didn’t drug or kidnap you to make that happen. Okay, well it was just for a second I thought that. You know, when you’re in a dungeon being trapped, your mind plays tricks on you. Can we go back to the riddles? What would happen after you answered them? You promised our freedom. And that was a lie. It only led to more riddles, which eventually escalated into us having to save each other’s lives. Seriously? You know they poisoned us. They just wanted to see if our hatred toward each other was stronger than actually saving each other. They were playing games with us. They were psychological games. We were like rats in a maze, being watched for somebody’s entertainment. It was like a science project. Well, we’re confident that whoever did this to you, they never intended to keep you there forever. Why would you say that? Because they basically led us directly to you.

What?

You’re kidding me. They gave us riddles as well. They weren’t very difficult to answer. I mean, especially the one that said, click here. Just like lab rats forcing you to push the lever to get more. It’s twisted. What do you think they do? Almost let us win? I mean, the gas is the answer to that. Maybe their endgame was having us be almost rescued. He’s definitely sick enough. You know what? I’m sure both of you are absolutely exhausted. There’ll be plenty of time for questioning after you’ve had some time to recover. What matters now is that you’re both safe and that part of this whole ordeal is over. Is it over? What if the voice is pissed off that we were rescued that way? What if being rescued was never part of the plan at all? This isn’t over for us. Whoever that is, they’re still out there. We have to find them before they strike again. [phone pinging] Again? That thing won’t stop. ANNOUNCER: Next week on The Young and the Restless. Hey, um, what’s going on? You tell me, is it true? Has my mom been admitted to a hospital in Chicago? Nick, I want you to be honest with me about your feelings. Do you ever think about us getting back together? So, the kidnapper wanted you to be found. PHYLLIS: Yeah. Whoever did it is a total whack job. This person hasn’t been caught yet. That means that you’re still in danger. You know, I see we do the town. Go big. I want to show the woman I love– What are you doing? Captioned by Los Angeles Distribution and Broadcasting, Inc.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

O-65. Retire and thrive. Is this correct? [ Laughter ] Perfect! You’re doing great. Never heard that one before. Got it! [ Groans ] I got nothin’! I taught Yuri all the bingo lingo. The man is a natural. I can’t believe you brought your whole bingo kit from Bensonhurst. I never leave home without it. That is true. And I think it speaks to a deeper issue. Call your doctor. It’s time for a shot of B-12. B-12. Hey! Bingo! Ohh! Will you look at that! That’s a four-corner win! Oh, my — Right here! I am impressed. It is very hard to beat Ma. Oh, come on. We all know that little Gio is a star and can do pretty much anything. Of course you brought your whole bingo setup. Yeah. Yeah. I can’t risk getting rusty. Brook Lynn, you should take my spot. I have to go and meet Emma. Yeah. Lucky you, Brookie. That seat’s hot! [ Lois laughs ] I will bring your car around. Thanks, Yuri. Ladies. See you later.

Have fun.

Have fun! Ooh! So…Emma? Emma Scorpio-Drake. She’s the police commissioner’s granddaughter. Mm-hmm. Got it. What’s going on with them? Really? We’re just gonna sit here and pretend like I didn’t just find out last night that all along you have known about my baby with Dante?

I don’t want to be interrupted for the rest of the night. Yes, it’s that important. [ Scoffs ]

[ Charlotte breathing shakily ]

Mom. It’s okay. I’m really here. I just — I can’t believe it. I — I’ve been dreaming about this for so long, and…

There’s so much that I want to tell you, but I just wanted to wait till we’re alone.

I just thank God that you are here and you’re safe. Don’t thank God. Thank Papa. Thank you for making house calls. I know doctors don’t do that these days. Yeah. Some do. For some patients. I appreciate it. And I still don’t want my children knowing, you know, about my condition. You’re welcome. Your blood pressure has gotten a lot better. Seems like you’ve actually been listening to my advice. Well, I’m taking my medication every day, and I’m reducing the stress. And… I even called a truce with my daughter’s mother. That seems to help. Right? [ Laughs ] And the backyard, the back area has this really cool — What’s going on, Dad? Grandpa, are you okay?

So, is our third date living up to our first? Hmm. Well, technically… when you asked me to the Rice Museum, you didn’t say it was a date. And then for Valentine’s Day, I didn’t know that was a date, so that doesn’t count. And since we’re staying in tonight, this doesn’t either. Valentine’s was definitely a date. And so was painting. Okay? And they were good dates, too. Hmm! Really? Absolutely. So what would make tonight feel more date-like? Would a kiss help? It might.

Yeah. It definitely feels like a date now. [ Chuckles ]

And what’s the update on Josslyn Jacks? Is that right? Good to hear. Keep pushing her. Yes. [ Knock on door ] I’ll talk to you again tomorrow. If I remember correctly, the last time we spoke, you said you wanted nothing to do with me. So…may I ask what you’re doing here now? Fixing a huge mistake.

[ Cellphone rings ] I’m gonna ignore it. What if it’s an emergency? [ Cellphone ringing ] Hey, Ava. What’s going on? Ava: Trina. Thank God. I’ve locked myself out of the gallery. I can’t find my keys. It’s — It’s freezing, and my phone’s about to die. Can you come quickly, please? Okay. Um… Ava locked herself out of the gallery, and she needs me to come let her in before she freezes to death. I totally get it. Ava is your boss and your friend. I was just about to head out anyway. Oh. Uh, okay. Um, well, thanks for being so cool about it. I guess I’ll see you tomorrow? For sure.

[ Door closes ] No one’s pretending anything. You’ve been avoiding me all day. I thought that meant you didn’t want to talk about it. Honestly, I didn’t know what to say. Finding out that you’ve known about my baby all along kind of knocked the wind out of me. I’m sorry to hear that. I told my ma — and my ma alone. I had no idea that she ran off and told you. Which makes me wonder. Who else knows? Huh? I am so glad that your father kept you safe. But you wouldn’t have been in danger in the first place if he hadn’t had taken you on the run with him. Why does that matter? I’m here now, and that’s only because of Papa. I didn’t even know you were coming home. Until right before your plane landed. How did Jason and Anna find out where you were? Papa texted Rocco, pretending to be me, and told him where we were. He thought he would tell you, and you’d come get me, but Jason found out instead. Valentin wanted you back in Port Charles. He was worried about your safety after someone took that shot at him when we were in that café in Prague. See? Papa’s trying to do what’s best for me, even if it means he doesn’t see me every day anymore.

Rocco didn’t even tell me that you texted him. If he had, you know that I would’ve been on the first plane, right? Yeah. Papa thought so, too. [ Chuckles ] Rocco’s been avoiding me lately. I couldn’t figure out why, but it all makes sense now. I never once gave up hope that you would come home. I know. I just wish it would have been me that came to get you. Not Anna and Jason. Actually, Mom… I’m glad you weren’t there. I thought you didn’t want to do this. Okay. I overthought it. I overthought it. It’s what I do. It’s not great. And I shouldn’t have thought the worst about you. [ Sighs ] Wh– What am I — You change your mind, and what am I supposed to do? I’m supposed to forget? I’m — I’m — I’m supposed to just be at your beck and call? I… How do I know you’re not gonna change your mind again tomorrow? You don’t. But I won’t. I knew you had your doubts about me, but I — I thought it was about the WSB and about how dangerous the job is and about maybe putting yourself at risk. But you — you questioned my character. And you questioned my feelings for you. And that’s a very different thing. I know.

I’ve been very clear and I’ve been very consistent in the way I feel for you. And if you still doubt my intentions, then I-I think that you were right to end whatever this is we had. I wasn’t right. I was completely wrong. And that’s why I’m here. ‘What changed your mind? We haven’t spoken, so it wasn’t me. So why the change of heart? Hello, sweetheart. Everything’s fine. I was just feeling a little under the weather, and so I called Lucky to get ahold of Dr. Gannon so he could come check me out. You two know each other? Yeah. Yeah. We met at — at Charlie’s before. Nice to see you. Isaiah: You too. Uh, Rocco wanted to come by and see the new place. It’s not really new. I’ve been here a lot. Just not since Charlotte left. That’s right. Yeah, well, I made a lot of changes. You want to check it out? Especially in the back. Cool. Alright. Be right back.

I — I should get going.

You know, if my dad really had a cold, he would have just had you call in a prescription at the pharmacy or something. He wouldn’t have had you come here to his home to examine him. What’s really going on with my dad? Ava? I got here as fast as I could! Did you find your…

Surprise!

Surprise! You guys! I can’t believe you did this! What?! Now, you really didn’t think we’d forget your birthday, did you? What? Okay. Well, I mean, I know that my parents are successful and driven. I just thought they’d be, like, running the hospital or Aurora. I wouldn’t have been mad. Honey, we’re never too busy to celebrate our beautiful birthday girl. Aww! Can I get in on some of this birthday love? Yes! Thank you so much for coming. Oh, I wouldn’t have missed this for the world. Happy birthday, sweetheart. I know you’re gonna have an incredible year that’ll only get better from here. Ooh. I love the sound of that. And, you know, I was the one who was supposed to be distracting you while everyone got ready for the party, but I thought of someone better for the job. Was I right or was I right? You was right. As always. [ Laughs ] What I meant was I’m glad you weren’t there because it was so dangerous. Right after Papa sent that text to Rocco, Jason and Anna came in and they told us to run. What? Honey, you must have been terrified! I was. But I was with Papa. We ran and we hid, and we could still hear everything. The WSB came in. Jason and Anna had to fight them off. I don’t think you would have been able to take those guys like Jason and Anna did. I’m scrappier than I look. And I will do whatever it takes to keep you and your brother safe. I know. And I’m happy to be home. But it feels kind of weird. Good weird or bad word? Good weird. I know the feeling. But, you know, it’ll feel normal soon, I promise. How can it ever feel normal without Papa? What do you think? It looks good. Really good, Grandpa. Is it missing anything? Charlotte. Feels weird being here without her. You were very close? You miss her a lot? I do. Can I tell you something? Anything. I got a text from her, and I didn’t tell either of my parents because of how dangerous it was the last time they went after her. But I told Danny, and he told his dad, and Jason promised to bring Charlotte home. You did the right thing. You were looking out for your family. You were in a tough spot. Y-You handled it like a champ. We still haven’t heard any news from Jason, though. Maybe he can’t find Charlotte. Jason is good at finding people. And if you haven’t heard anything soon, I will step in. Thanks, Grandpa. You got it. Whatever questions you have, the answer’s the same. Talk to your dad. See, but you saying that alone means there’s something to ask about. There’s something you’re not telling me. Talk to your dad. Okay. Can you just — Can you just tell me if it’s bad? Actually, no. You don’t even have to tell me if it’s bad. Never mind. Because you’re here. So, obviously, it is bad. A-And if it were fine, then you certainly wouldn’t be trying to cover it up right now. I’m not covering anything up. I’m respecting my oath and adhering to doctor-patient confidentiality laws. Okay, but, see, I’m his daughter, and if he were in the hospital, you’d be honest with me, right? And it’s kind of the same thing. It’s not the same thing. What’s going on? Dr. Gannon just — just confirmed that — that there’s something serious going on with you. So what is it, Dad? What changed is, um… I realized that life is short. And if anything happened to either one of us, I would really regret not exploring whatever this is. I’m sorry. And I was wrong. And I don’t usually admit to either of those. Sorry for what, exactly? For not trusting you. I saw you with Vivian, and — and she was flirting with you, and you were so nonchalant about it, and I just — I — It threw me, you know? And I just dismissed all the good things that you had done. And then I realized that ending things with you had really nothing to do with you. And what about Vivian? Oh, she was just an excuse. I just got so scared. Because of how much I was starting to feel for you. So I tried to push you away. But that’s not me. I am not the kind of person who runs from her feelings. Or much of anything else.

So… just what kind of person are you, exactly?

Stick around and find out.

I know you wish your dad could be here. And for your sake, I wish he could be here, too. I — I would love it if things were different. But you are safer here. You have stability. Sweetie, you cannot live your life on the run. It wasn’t that bad. Really. I mean, Papa and I saw a lot of different places, and he made sure I had everything I needed. Now that I have you here, there is so much that I want to ask you and there’s so much that I want to tell you. I mean, not just about your time away, but my time away, too. I missed so much those last four years. And I can’t wait to tell you everything. And I’m happy to be back home again. It might not seem like it, but I am. Hm. Sweetie. I know. I know. You have had a crazy day. Who — Who am I kidding? You have had a crazy year. I know you and Papa — things with you are weird, but I want you to know that he always kept me safe. And he brought you up whenever he could.

Charlotte… I know how much you love your papa. And I am so grateful to him that he kept you safe. And I’m even more grateful that he sent that text to Rocco so we could bring you home. I know how hard that was for him. I couldn’t even believe it when he told me. I’ll bet. I’m sure it was lonely being out there, away and alone with just your dad. It was. Then we need to make up for that! Give me one second. I’m gonna make a quick call, okay? Okay. Brookie, you don’t have to worry about that. Look, I swear on the family Bible no one else knows about the baby. How can you be sure? I would never betray your trust that way. Brook Lynn. Listen to your grandmother. She knows all the family secrets. She’s never let any of them slip. I would never have known, but I could sense something was eating away at Lois. She didn’t want to tell me. I had to pull it out of her! How come you never told me? Because I wanted to respect your privacy. And I promised your mother I would not talk about it. And you never did? Not even at confession? Not a word. I put it in the vault, and it stayed there where it belongs. And I suggest you two do the same.

Happy birthday, little girl. [ Chuckles ] And these are for you from Ace. Ohh! And he made the card for you himself. [ Laughs ] [ Laughs ] Oh, my gosh! This is ridiculously cute! I know! Thank you so much for — for letting him make this for me. And thank you for being here. There’s no place else I would rather be. Besides, um, I think it’s what Spencer would have wanted, for me to be here. Oh, honey, I know last year was a very tough year for you, but I have to say, I’m very, very glad to see you in a better place and willing to celebrate your birthday. Well… that doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten about Spencer or I don’t miss him every day. Honey, I would never think that about you. You know, neither of us will ever forget Spencer. I mean, he was one of a kind, right? Yeah. And he loved you so much. And he would be so happy to see how happy you are tonight. You know? I miss seeing the light in your eyes. I’m glad it’s back. And Spencer would be very glad it’s back. Thank you. You’re welcome. [ Cellphone rings ] Oh. Sorry. [ Chuckles ] Oh! It is my daughter. Oh, okay. Take it. I’m gonna go talk to some other — Okay. Alright. Hello? Hi, Mom. Can you come home? I have a little surprise for you.

So, a group of us athletes are actually working with the hospital. We’re visiting the sick kids in the pediatrics wing and hopefully spending as much time with them as we can. We want to give them some fun in the middle of all the hard stuff they’re going through. Well, that sounds pretty great, actually. It’s pretty sweet that you’re getting involved, too. Yeah, it’s the least I can do. I actually met the guy who came up with the whole program. He’s a Congressman. Drew Quartermaine. The guy who slept with his nephew’s wife. Yeah. That’s the guy. He seemed okay. But I don’t know anything about his personal life, a-and I don’t really care. I mean, this program is gonna change these kids’ lives. And that’s the part that’s really great. Kai, are you sure you’re not taking on too much? I mean, I would totally understand if you needed to back out of my animal-rights charity. No, I can do both. Now that I’m not playing football anymore, I have plenty of time. Alright! Time for cake! Yeah! [ All cheering ] Oh, my goodness! This cake is gorgeous!

Curtis: Yeah! Stella: Yay! This was not at all what I expected when I opened the door and saw you standing there. Well…you showed up in my hotel room and gave me one hell of a kiss in Germany, so I just thought I would return the favor. I’m glad you did. I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. Me too.

Lulu, sorry I’m late, sweetheart. I got stuck at the party saying goodbye to so many people, and then it just… [ Charlotte laughs ] Ohh! Oh! Charlotte! Come on… Oh, my God. Ohh!

Here you go.

That one’s from Josslyn. She’s really sorry she couldn’t be here. She’s still on Easter Island, but she did make sure that her gift was sent directly to the Q’s and entrusted to me for delivery. Okay. Okay. [ Laughs ] Oh…yes. Joss is amazing. She knows that I’ve been having a hard time sleeping at night, so she got me this. Oh, my gosh. I love her so much. Ohh! Okay. This is the last one.

Okay.

That one’s from me.

Oh. Okay. Oh. It’s heavy.

Yeah. [ Laughter ] Okay.

Okay. Pretty wrapping. [ Laughter ] Stella: Ohh! Emma: Yeah, the guy at the bookstore couldn’t stop talking about it. He said that it’s a must-have, so… Oh. Uh… Thank you. Thank you. This is — This is amazing. Um… Okay, everybody, um, thank you so much for all the thoughtful and amazing gifts. Um, now go have another slice of cake and get more to drink and let’s just party, yeah. Stella: Okay. [ Laughter ] Happy birthday, sweetheart. Thank you. Mwah!

I didn’t tell her anything, Mr. Corinthos. You know, Rocco, maybe you need to do some homework. What do you think? Go home? Actually, uh, since you are on your way out, you don’t mind dropping him off at home at the Quartermaines’, do you? Yeah. Happy to. Great. See you later. Thanks for the tour, Grandpa. Anytime, buddy.

Okay, you know I’m gonna find out whatever it is that’s going on, and I can always tell when you’re lying to me, so you might as well just tell me because whatever it is, it’s — it’s far worse in my head. With what I’m imagining, it’s not good. So what’s going on? I don’t want you to worry. It’s — What I have is treatable. Treatable? And I’m — You know, I’m fine. Dad! What — Okay. Just tell me. What’s going on?

There’s something wrong with my heart. Are you sure you’re alright? Fine. Just a little tired. Maybe a lot tired. [ Laughs ] Who wants some tea? Oh, thank you, sweetheart. I’m okay. Thanks. I’m gonna go shower. Yeah, and maybe lie down and rest a little bit, too. That’s probably a good idea. Yeah. We’ll catch up on everything tomorrow. I want to hear about everything you’ve been doing since the last time I saw you. A lot of it’s boring. Not to me, honey. Well, don’t get too comfortable up there because I have an idea you might have some more visitors tonight. Okay. Charlotte. I am really happy you’re home.

Did they find Valentin? No. He’s still out there somewhere. But, Mom, he’s the reason that Charlotte’s here. She said that he took really good care of her. Ohh. And he made sure that she didn’t forget me. It doesn’t surprise me because I know how much Valentin loves Charlotte. But she is still better off right now away from him. I agree. I just hope he stays away. For her sake. All these years, I thought I was the one keeping a secret from you, and all along you were keeping the same secret from me. If the devil himself was mad at me for not telling, so be it. I…would do anything for you. Suffer anything. As long as my girls and their future was protected. I love you both so much. We love you, too, Ma. Even though sometimes you make it a little hard. Yeah, but… this has just brought up so many things for me that I haven’t let myself think about in so many years. I just… I just need some time to wrap my head around it, okay? You take all the time you need, sweetheart. Yeah. I’ll be here when you’re ready. Okay.

[ Sighs ] Thank you. Alright. Refreshments are on the way. Hm! Need to take a quick shower. Carly: Hm!

You know, that was an invitation to join me. I know. Someone has to answer the door to room service, and I am a little bit thirsty. Alright. Suit yourself.

[Softly] Oh, my God.

[ Shower running ] Brennan: ♪ Look for that silver lining ♪ ♪ Whenever a cloud appears in the blue

You’ve been pretty great lately. What do you mean, “lately”? Lately. You, uh — You pushed your animal-activism group forward. You kept me company at a crypt one night when I camped out. You gave Kai a pretty good pep talk. Why do you sound surprised? The first few times we met, you didn’t come across as someone who would do any of that. You seemed… a lot different. This is who I am now. Makes me wonder who the real Emma is. [ Chuckles ] Yeah. I know. Me too. How are things going with Drew and Congressman Henderson? Uh, he was able to help with a few obstacles, but Drew — he’s so focused on that pediatric sports initiative, he’s even planning a press conference at the hospital with Portia to talk about it. Really?! Yeah. And guess what. Aurora Media is covering it. You know, I really hate helping this guy rehab his image. Baby, pick your battles. Supporting Drew on this can elevate Portia, but if you get in the way of that, you’re gonna hinder her success. And Portia deserves to shine, Drew be damned. Thank you so much for referring Ric and for, you know, being there for me throughout this whole situation. Oh, of course. Thank you for confiding in me. I-If the truth came out, it would only hurt Trina. Well, Ric and I had a good first conversation, but the conversation we had after that was the opposite of what I was hoping for. In fact, it was devastating.

I can’t keep this up forever. No, you won’t have to. Drew — Drew has a lot of powerful enemies. Mm-hmm. Nina and Carly and — and Curtis. Jason. Michael. All the Quartermaines. They all hate him, right? It’s only a matter of time before Drew’s house of cards collapses and one of his many other enemies will take care of him for you. Well, someone needs to do something, and they need to do it soon. I think Trina left. Hope she’s okay. She was here for quite a while tonight. It was almost like having our old Trina back. But she might have gotten a little overwhelmed. And a party like this probably had her thinking about Spencer. Well, I just hate to think that anything could put a black mark on her special night. Oh. It didn’t. Grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and sometimes a loss is felt most during your happiest moments.

[ Exhales heavily ] If Brook Lynn is this upset about finding out I knew about the baby… imagine how angry she’d be if she found out we know who the baby is. [ Sighs ] I know, Ma. Brook Lynn can never know what we did. And tonight proved why.

I heard you were at your grandpa’s new house. How was it? Good. He’s changed a bunch of stuff. It was kind of weird being there without Charlotte, though. Charlotte: It doesn’t have to be weird anymore. Oh, my God! You’re back! Charlotte: I’m back!

Brennan: ♪ And look on the sunny side of life ♪

[ Shower running ] Hey. Had a feeling you’d change your mind. Yeah? Well… make some room. Come on.

[ Knock on door ]

I’ll be right back. Hurry.

You have a heart condition? Dad, how long has this been going on? Are you okay? Yes. I’m fine. I just — I — That’s why I didn’t want to tell any of you. ‘Cause I didn’t want you to worry for no reason. Of course, we’re gonna worry, Dad. I’m — Okay. So what did Dr. Gannon say, exactly? It’s — It’s an injury that happened a long time ago, and he’s got me on the right path, and he’s gonna — We have to do some procedure. Everything’s gonna be fine. I just have to r-reduce my stress. That — That’s why you agreed to joint custody with Ava, isn’t it? You didn’t want the stress of going to trial? It’s part of the reason. I didn’t want to watch Ric put you or Avery on the stand. I just didn’t… I didn’t want to put either of my daughters through that.

Yes.

Ooh!

[quiet instrumentals] Mom? Honey. I didn’t hear you come in. I got, uh, held up in the carpool line at school. Well, you didn’t have to rush back. Well, you said you wanted to talk, so I’m here. It’s just so peaceful down here. Yeah, uh… what’s going on? Just been thinking. Is this about Ridge? And what’s happened to our life together. RIDGE: What? No, that’s what I’m asking you. How does someone get pardoned when they killed two people? Please, let me know. So this is true– -Luna’s a free woman? -All because of Spencer. -You got confirmation. -No! Confirmation for what? -I-it had to be him! -Who else? Or who would want to? Well, it’s not gonna stand, Granddad. I’m not gonna stop fighting until Luna’s back in prison. But we can’t focus on that right now. We need to focus on Forrester Creations. Today’s the day we’re gonna get the company out of Carter’s hands. [lightly edgy music plays] CARTER: When I thought of the moment of my ideas taking this company to the next level, of making an impact here, I never thought I’d be doing it without you. I miss our friendship, Ridge. I miss my brother. [door clicks shut] You miss him… your best friend, no? [somber music plays] I don’t have an official address yet. I-I no longer live here. I just came back to pick up a few things this morning. That’s all right. You can update us within 30 days. [softly] Okay. Your, uh, personal belongings from intake. -That’s it? -On my end. Stay out of trouble. So it’s true. You’re really out of prison. Mom, what are you doing here? So this is where you’ve been the entire time… under house arrest? You couldn’t let me know? Like you let me know about my father? Yeah. You’ve been lying to me my entire life. Tom Starr isn’t my dad. It’s Finn. Finn’s my dad. [tense music plays] You deprived me of a father, and he’s a good, wonderful man. Finn would have loved me. Honey, you have to understand that at that time, it– You told me it was just us, Mom. That we were better off alone. That-that Nozawa power BS– that was all fake. You betrayed your own sister, Finn, and me. Your lies ruined my life. You can admit how much this hurts. I’m trying to focus on work, Daphne. Yeah. But every triumph leaves a bruise. Ill-gotten gains encouraged by Hope. I know you think you’re in love, darling, but she’s been using you. You don’t believe me. When you finally give the company back to the Forresters, remember what I told you about Hope. I imagine the entire family must be in shock. I mean, first they learn that Finn is Luna’s dad and that she has been pardoned for her crimes. What did Ridge have to say? I reached out to him, and he hasn’t gotten back to me. And I just hate not… being connected to him. You know, I don’t know what’s going on in his life. Carter has been running this LLC successfully. But without couture. And without couture, there is no Forrester Creations. But you and Dad– you two can’t be replaced. -And Carter knows that. -All right. I think we’ve waited long enough– Justin doesn’t have any answers. You think you can trust Carter’s conscience? I think we can. We give him a way out, he’s gonna take it. [sighs] He never took it before. Because of Hope. She held him back. Well, Daphne’s taking care of that. She’s been extremely instrumental, helping Carter see where he went wrong and what he needs to do to make things right. Good. My friend is in there, fast asleep, and we gotta wake him up before it’s too late. Everything that I have ever done has always been for you, Luna. [laughs] I don’t believe that. I wasn’t going to saddle you with just any father. You deserved better than any of the guys that I met. Oh! Okay, so that’s why you never got serious with any of the men in your life, because you cared so much about me. Did you ever believe that Bill could be my father? I hoped that he was. And I really wanted him to be. But deep down, you knew it was Finn. Didn’t you, Mom? I can’t believe this. -Daphne kissed Carter? -Mm-hmm. I saw it with my own eyes. But she knows he’s with you. Well, she would like to change that. What? She thinks that I don’t listen to him. That I pushed him into taking over the company, that I’m using him to save my line. She said that? It’s pretty clear to me that Steffy got in her head somehow, and it just… it hurts. She’s someone that I really looked up to in this industry. She’s someone that I admired, that I had such respect for, and she wanted to work with us, help us. And instead… she betrays me. -Muah. Bonjour, my friend. -Bonjour! I’m so glad -we were able to do this. -Yeah. I thought we should talk in private. Of course. You want an update. You wanna know how things are going with Carter? Um, actually, I have an update for you. Dis-moi tout. Well, I think our plan has moved a lot faster. It’s-it’s even better. And obviously, I knew that you weren’t gonna have any trouble getting Carter’s attention, driving a wedge between him and Hope, but you did something else. You woke up his conscience. [chuckles] I merely, merely reminded him what he already knew–betraying your family was a mistake encouraged by Hope. You know you’re way better than her, right? We all are, especially Carter. You know, he’s a really good man, Steffy, with a good heart. You developed real feelings for him, haven’t you? I think so. Despite my intentions, I really care about him. But I know how badly he hurt your family. Well, I do put most of the blame on Hope. I haven’t written off Carter entirely, and neither have my father and my grandfather. They’re actually at the office right now. They’ve giving Carter one last chance to give us back the company. DAPHNE: When I first came to Forrester, knowing there was a coup in progress, I thought I’d meet a traitor in you, someone so ruthless and cunning, I’d have to watch my own back too. But I was wrong. That’s not who you are at all. You’re an extraordinary man, a man of principles. [footsteps] Ridge. Eric. Been a long time, Carter. I’m surprised to see you. You’ll be even more surprised when you find out why we’re here. This has been going on long enough. Dad and I, we’re… coming back to our company. [edgy music plays] Admit it. All this time, you knew. You knew Finn was my dad. He was right there, and your lies kept us apart. Luna, Finn has always been a part of your life. You grew up knowing him! I thought he was my cousin, Mom. But you knew he wasn’t. Didn’t you? Still nothing! That’s all I ever get from you, huh? How many times did I beg you for a name? How many times did I beg you to tell me anything about my dad? But you put me off. You hid Tom’s letters from me. You let me believe that maybe I could be a Spencer… all to keep me from learning the truth? It was right in front of me this whole time. And I see it now. When I look at Finn, I see my father looking back at me. How could you not see it too? Are Ridge and Eric giving Carter an ultimatum? -Thanks. -Uh, an olive branch. Another chance. Well, it’s time. My father’s starting to see cracks in Carter’s resolve. Yeah, well, Ridge isn’t wrong. Carter feels guilty. He has for a while. Well, Hope has always been able to counteract those feelings. To get what she wants. Carter’s beginning to see that. Do you think he can actually defy her this time? Je sais pas. But I do know that he misses your father’s friendship and Eric’s respect. He’s a decent man. Well, now he has a chance to prove how decent he really is. Yeah. But if I’m right, he will. All I hope is that he listens to his conscience and return the company to your family. I’m not going to put all the blame on Daphne. Carter let it happen. He’s drawn to her. Everyone is. I’m sorry, sweetheart. Your relationship seemed so strong. So where do things stand now between you and Carter? No one told me you were thinking about rejoining the company. We’ve been keeping a close eye on Forrester, Carter. Very impressive. -Steffy and Zende filled you in. -RIDGE: Mm-hmm. Okay, so… what is this? What are you getting at? We’re gonna give you one more chance. -One more chance? -We’re gonna give you one more chance to make things right, to give this company back to Dad, to Steffy, and to me. It kills me to think how different my life would be if I knew this growing up. My life would be so different. Tom and Hollis would still be alive, Steffy wouldn’t hate me. Oh. Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no. You took those men’s lives to protect yourself, not because you had some sort of… traumatic childhood? And what makes you think I was so desperate to protect myself, Mom? Because no one ever did. But Finn–Finn would have. [scoffs] You’re not answering me, Mom. Did you ever think that Tom Starr could be my father, or did you hide his letters because you knew he couldn’t be? Because you knew all along that Finn was my father. Say it! My entire life, you’ve been lying to me. Just give me the truth, Mom, for once in your life! The truth. [tense music plays] Carter will come through. Your family’s upset with him, but he’s not the enemy–Hope is. He did all that because he was enamored with her but now, not so much. Not after the kiss you and Carter shared. Mmm… [huffs] I still can’t get over it, that Daphne kissed Carter. It was a kiss. I’ve made similar mistakes in the past, but I am choosing to believe in our commitment. We love each other. And no one is going to change that. So you’re offering me a chance to take it all back. We’re offering you a chance to move forward… to get out of this, ’cause that’s what you want. How’d you know? ‘Cause I know you. We all know you. We’ve always known you until you got hooked up with Hope, saving her line… you lost your values and your integrity, and it’s taken a toll on you. We haven’t just been watching everything at Forrester. We’ve been keeping an eye on you too. I’m not gonna lie. I’ve been struggling. Well, some men will do whatever it takes to win. Thankfully, that’s not you. Well, I’m proud of what we accomplished here, Ridge. And I’m grateful you acknowledged that– the wisdom in my vision, the changes I’ve made here. Like I said, this is an opportunity for all of us. ERIC: The name on the building is Forrester. That’s also the name on every label on every item we make. This is our company. I need your word. Hope for the Future’s having a resurgence and must remain part of the lineup. [Ridge clears his throat] If Hope for the Future is on the upswing… we’d be foolish to drop it. I hate that it came to this. I hated taking the company from you, and the… the gains have been incredible, they have, but… …the victories have been hollow without you here. You’re right, Ridge. The old Carter’s still in there. You belong here, Carter. With us. Um… I-I don’t–I don’t know what to say. I’m sorry. I’m sorry I let this get out of hand. And I missed you both. We missed you too, brother. Where is it? There’s one more thing. This belongs to you. [stirring music plays] -BILL: Here’s a look ahead. -We’re still in charge. Your name is on those LLC papers, right? Forrester should have no involvement with Hope. Finn’s my father. That makes me your granddaughter. My granddaughter!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[jazzy music] [indistinct chatter]

Hi there.

Tate, hey.

Sorry to bother you at work.

Uh, it’s cool. We, uh–we just finished the dinner rush, so things are pretty slow. What brings you by?

I just– I wanted to see if your mom was still pissed about what happened at the DiMeras’.

You didn’t have to come in person to ask that. You could have just texted.

Yeah, no, I know. I–I guess I could have. I just didn’t have anything else going on.

It’s Friday night. Shouldn’t you be, uh, hanging out with your girlfriend?

Yeah, well, Holly and I aren’t really talking right now. [somber music]

Holly, hey.

You can’t be here, EJ.

Don’t shut me out, Belle. Please. [soft dramatic music]

Look, I talked to my dad about what went down the first time he brought Feniger to town. He said it still haunts him to this day, that he– that he never would have gone through with it if he knew Arnold would have violated my mom like that.

Johnny, that is total BS. Didn’t stop him from doing the same damn thing that Feniger did.

Same thing? What are you talking about?

You know what, Johnny? Never mind, OK? Just, uh–just forget it.

No, I’m not gonna forget it. How did my dad do the same thing as Feniger?

Look, I– I said forget it. I don’t even know what the hell I’m saying, all right? I’m just upset about what happened to Rafe.

Yeah, well, we all are. And I know my dad has done some things over the years, OK? But nothing as bad as what that maniac did to my mom. Come on. You don’t actually think that my dad is as bad as Feniger, do you? That guy’s a rapist.

Johnny, you have no idea who your dad really is, do you? If Arnold Feniger is a rapist, then so is EJ DiMera. [tense music] [soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”

So what happened with you and Holly?

We had a fight.

About the baby?

Yeah, that was a part of it. Um, you know, a couple days ago I promised her that the adoption was a done deal. And now who knows, thanks to fricking EJ DiMera.

Yeah, I’m sorry that our baby is such a problem for your relationship.

No, no, don’t be. Like I said, the– only a part of the fight was about the baby.

What else was it about?

Not what, who. Doug Williams.

Sorry, I was just getting in a workout.

Yeah, I– I can see that. 8

Yeah, I found some of my Grandpa Doug’s old weights in the attic. Can’t exactly afford a gym membership at the moment.

Right. Well, I can come back if you want to finish your workout.

No, no, no, no, no. I was–I was basically done. I’m glad you’re here. [gentle music]

May I, uh–may I come in? 9

No. We have nothing to talk about. Unless, of course, you’re here to confess your crimes to Salem’s district attorney.

The only thing I’m guilty of is not– not being able to stop thinking about you.

Oh, don’t. Don’t do that.

Don’t–don’t do what? Tell you how I’m feeling? 10

You shouldn’t be here, EJ.

And yet there’s nowhere else I’d rather be. [gentle music]

I’ve missed you, Belle. Ever since you stormed out on me the other day, I’ve– I’ve missed being close to you. Haven’t you missed me, too?

[tense music] 11

Did you just– did you just say that my father is a rapist?

Look, Johnny. Johnny, like I said, forget it. I know how much you love your dad, OK? And what I just said, I said in the heat of anger.

It was true, though, wasn’t it? Wasn’t it? I know you, Grandpa. And I know that you wouldn’t just throw something out that’s that terrible… unless it was true.

Wow. So what does Julie think about you turning her living room into a gym? [laughs]

Well, she’s not here to see it, actually. She went shopping in Bay City with your grandma and Bonnie.

Oh, right. I think my grandma said she wanted to freshen up her wardrobe for spring.

So what’s up?

Um, OK. Well, I wanted to talk to you about the necklace.

What about it?

Well, I just keep thinking about how Melinda refused to sell it to us. I mean, what is wrong with that woman?

You’d know better than I would.

Yeah. Well, we have to do something, right?

Not sure what we can do.

And that’s exactly why I’m here. I have a brilliant idea. [soft dramatic music]

Oh. Oh, where is that husband of yours?

Oh, he went to grab some takeout from the pub.

Uh-huh. Well, um, I do have some news that I wanted to share with you both about my sit-down with Amy Choi.

Oh, OK. Well, um, you can tell me now and then I’ll fill Johnny in later. How did that go?

Oh, surprisingly well.

Really?

Mm.

Wait, so–so did Mrs. Choi come around to Johnny and I adopting Sophia’s baby? 16

I do believe that I got her to see that, um, her grandchild would be lucky to have you two as parents.

Oh, my God, that is amazing!

[laughs] But there is one sticking point.

Oh. Yeah, and I bet you I can guess what that is. [tense music]

The only thing I feel for you is disgust for what you did to Rafe and Jada and Ava.

What I allegedly did.

Oh, my God, are we really gonna play this game?

It’s no game. You and I both know there’s no evidence to support the outrageous claims that are being leveled against me.

Wow, you are unbelievable that you have the temerity to stand there and just lie to my face.

Belle, I know you’re hearing nothing but horrible accusations against me, that everyone in your life is pushing for you to lose faith, to abandon me. But I know that you don’t want to walk away from what we have.

EJ, you’ve really got to hear what I’m saying, I don’t want you anywhere near me. I am the district attorney, and you are a criminal.

Mm. You knew exactly who I was when you got involved with me.

You’re right, I did. And I thought just maybe you would try to change, but you don’t want to, and so you never will. And so you’re the same selfish son of a bitch you’ve always been. [tense music]

Johnny, all I was trying to say is your father is responsible for what that bastard Feniger did to your mom. He’s the one who hired Arnold to take over Rafe’s life in the first place.

I don’t think that’s what you meant.

Yeah, and now I am sorry, damn sorry, that I’ve taken this conversation in the wrong direction, all right? I told you I was upset. Now, I’ve upset you, and I regret that deeply. I am so sorry, Johnny. And now, I’m so sorry because I need to go to the back because I’m expecting a delivery right now.

Wait, wait. I’d like to finish this conversation.

No. You know what? We will talk later. I promise. [suspenseful music]

[door clicks open] 22

Hey, Johnny.

Hey.

Are you OK?

Uh, I just had a very strange conversation with my grandfather.

Strange how?

Well, he, uh, accused my father of being a rapist and then tried to walk it back. [tense music] You know something, don’t you? 23

[sighs] Look, Johnny, I–

No, no, no, Kate. Please, just tell me the truth, all right? Don’t–don’t try to protect me. If my father committed that horrible crime, I have a right to know.

A month ago, Holly didn’t even know who “young Doug” was. None of us did. And now it–it just feels like she’s spending all of her time with him.

So you’re pissed that she’s friends with the guy?

It’s not jealousy, if that’s what you’re thinking. I don’t trust him.

Well, did he do something to make you not trust him?

Doug stole Julie’s necklace?

Well, technically no. It was her grandmother’s.

What? 25

It was in a time capsule the Hortons found after the fire.

So Doug just had no problem helping himself to a family heirloom?

He didn’t know what it was. He didn’t know the significance.

Yeah, but that didn’t stop him from snatching it from his own family.

He hadn’t met Julie yet when he took it.

Oh, OK. That makes it so much better. [soft dramatic music] Let’s just say he’s done some very shady stuff, and I don’t want Holly to get sucked into this guy’s mess of a life more than she already has been.

You have a solution for how to deal with this Trask lady?

In fact, I do.

OK. What is it?

OK. So she won’t sell it to us, right?

Right.

Even though she knows it was stolen.

Yeah.

So why don’t we just sneak into Melinda’s apartment and steal it back? [inquisitive music]

The more Holly defends the guy, the more I worry she’s gonna get caught up in his mess. 28

Well, what kind of a mess are we talking about?

[sighs] Let’s just say it’s not good.

OK. So you think that Doug is a bad influence on her?

Yeah, the worst. I’m sorry, I–I really shouldn’t be dumping all of my Holly problems on you.

No, that’s OK. I mean, we’re past all that, right? Um, plus, I can see that you’re really hurting.

I just wish that jerk had never turned up in Salem. You know, and on top of all of that, you know my grandpa’s missing?

What? Wait, missing how?

He was on a mission, and they lost contact with him.

Oh, my God. And nobody knows where he is?

My grandma just left town to go looking for him. 30

Tate, that is so scary.

It is, yeah. You know, growing up, I thought of my grandpa as, like, this invincible super spy, kind of like Jason Bourne and Ethan Hunt wrapped into one. And now, I just can’t help think, like, what if he doesn’t come back?

Come here. He’s gonna be OK. I know he is. [gentle music]

[chuckles] Can you just stand there and pretend you don’t feel any of this, that I’m nothing to you?

What you did was unthinkable. The fact that you’ve ruined Rafe and Jada’s life over–over, what, losing a DA job? Are you really that petty and vindictive? 32

Can I defend myself?

No. No, you can’t, because there is nothing you can say that’s gonna make this any better. I mean, and what about what you and your sister did to Ava? I mean, do you not care about anyone but yourself?

Oh, if I could just talk–

And you’re not even sorry, are you, that you’re ruthless and sadistic and heartless, and that you have hurt so many people that I care about? And–and how do you expect me to forgive you for this?

If you’d just take a breath, you’d realize that we don’t have to let any of this come between us.

Are you kidding? What, you just think that I’m supposed to look the other way when my boyfriend is accused of kidnapping two people and–and switching one of them out with a lookalike?

Did you just call me your boyfriend?

What? Do you think this is funny?

Just interesting.

Well, you’re gonna think it’s interesting when you are in cuffs on your way to Statesville.

I’m not going to prison, Belle.

[scoffs] Well, I wouldn’t be too sure about that. Because as soon as I have enough concrete evidence to link you to these crimes, I will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. 35

Fine. Prosecute me. Hate me. Flog me in the middle of Horton Town Square. But one thing you cannot do is tell me you don’t want me just as much as I want you. [soft dramatic music]

Look, I–I really think you should wait till your grandfather comes back to have this conversation. 36

Yeah, why? So he can just lie to me again? No. Look, Kate, you’re not someone who runs from hard truths, and I could tell that you know what my grandpa meant when he said what he said about rape. And it wasn’t about Arnold Feniger.

You really need to have this conversation with your mother.

What does my mom have to do with this?

[sighs] Look, I’m sorry. I really shouldn’t have brought her up–

No, Kate, look– [suspenseful music] You’re not making any sense here, all right? Look, I know that my mom has defended a lot of messed-up stuff that my dad has done over the years, but there is no way that she would let him get away with raping someone. So there’s no way that my mom could know anything about this. 38

That’s the thing. Your mother is the woman that your father raped.

Please tell me you’re joking.

Why would I be joking?

Because you’re talking about stealing a necklace from the DA’s apartment.

OK, first off, she’s not the DA anymore. And second, that necklace doesn’t belong to her, Doug. It belongs to your family. She’s just holding onto it out of spite, so I don’t get why we can’t just sneak in and return it to its rightful owner.

Well, sneaking in is a nice way of saying breaking and entering, which, last time I checked, is a crime.

Well, it’s not like she can report it. Not without incriminating herself.

You sure about that?

What I’m sure about is Melinda Trask is no angel. Actually, no. You want to talk about crimes? How about her helping Sloan Petersen kidnap my baby brother and letting my mom think he was dead? She quite literally put my family through hell, Doug. So, no, I’m not about to start having sympathy for that bitch.

[laughs]

What?

I’ve–I’ve just– I’ve never seen you like this before. 41

Yeah, well, what can I say? I believe in karma. So are we gonna break into Melinda’s apartment and get Julie’s necklace back or what?

No. Absolutely not. [tense music]

[phone rings]

Uh. [laughs nervously] Uh, Mom, hey. No, that’s OK. I’m, uh–I’m on a break. Really? Yeah, I–I understand. Uh, yes, I’ll see you tonight. I’ll come home straight away after my shift is done. OK. Bye. 43

What was that about?

Uh, my mom had a meeting with Chanel’s mom, and apparently they really hit it off. [laughs]

Go, Mayor Price. What does this mean?

Uh, it means that there’s hope that Johnny and Chanel will be able to adopt the baby. [laughs]

Really? 44

[laughs]

Yes. Oh, you’re right, darling. Despite all my best efforts, Amy, she still has her reservations about EJ’s involvement with the baby’s life.

Oh. Mama, I swear, if EJ is the reason and Johnny and I lose this baby–

No, no. Don’t even think like that. I’ll tell you exactly what I told her. Your daddy-in-law, he’s not gonna be a problem much longer, even if I have to see to it personally.

Mama, what are you planning?

Oh, don’t be nervous. Don’t look like that, child. No, all I meant was that I plan to use my considerable influence to make sure that EJ goes to prison for what he did to Rafe and Jada and Ava Vitali.

You really think he’s going away?

Mm. I met with Belle Black today, and she is committed to throwing the book at that evil bastard. Oh, by the time we are through with him, that Elvis, he will be– he’ll be singing his own version of “Jailhouse Rock.”

Well, you sound pretty confident. 47

Yeah, I am, I am. But, uh–you know, there is one thing that does concern me, though.

Yeah? What’s that?

I gave Belle Black an opportunity to recuse herself, you know, since she’d been having an affair with her number-one suspect.

Oh, really?

Yeah, really. But–but she promised me that she and EJ were finished. 48

OK. So then what’s your concern?

You know what? Nothing. Never mind. Never mind. She–she will keep her promise. No, she knows–she knows what’s at stake.

[groans] Oh. [chuckles] Oh, Belle. Ah. What, you’re not gonna say anything?

I can’t believe I just did that. Do you have any idea what a conflict of interest this is?

Uh, you didn’t seem to care when you were in my arms.

You are under investigation for multiple felonies by my office. And I just told Paulina I was done having sex with you.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait. How does Paulina know we’re sleeping together?

God, it doesn’t matter. And we’re not sleeping together, OK? We–we were sleeping together, past tense.

Oh, does 2 1/2 minutes ago count as the past, does it?

God, this is a nightmare. What the hell is wrong with me?

There is nothing wrong with you, Belle. You are perfect.

Stop it. Stop doing that. 51

What, complimenting you?

Don’t you understand? If Paulina finds out about this, I could lose my job.

Then don’t tell her! Or, alternatively, you could tell her the truth.

You want me to tell the mayor that her DA is sleeping with the lead suspect in a multiple kidnapping and fraud case?

Not that truth. I meant tell Paulina that there is no case. 52

What? What are you talking about?

Belle, you and I both know that the police won’t find any real evidence linking me to these so-called crimes.

My God.

My hands are clean. You just have to make them accept that.

Wow.

What?

That’s why you came over here, isn’t it? 53

I don’t follow.

Yeah, you came over here because you wanted to seduce me into dropping the investigation. God, you are such a bastard. [tense music]

Kate… did you just tell me that my father raped my mother? How? When?

OK, I–I don’t feel comfortable going into this. 54

No, no, no, no, no. You–you don’t get to say something like that and then just walk away from it.

OK, why don’t you–why don’t we just go upstairs, OK, so we can have a little privacy?

Yeah, we can have the conversation right here, all right? And tell me the truth, Kate.

OK. OK, I will. I will.

OK.

I’m just not sure where to start.

Well, why don’t you try… starting at the beginning, hmm? And do not leave anything out.

The beginning.

Yeah.

Well, I guess the beginning is your mother and Lucas going up to the mountains to go skiing, and their car broke down. And they ended up at, uh, this remote cabin. And there was a huge, huge storm. The roof of the cabin caved in on them, and Lucas was pinned underneath it. And Sami was afraid that he was gonna die.

What does any of this have to do with my father raping my mother?

I’m getting to it. [soft dramatic music] So Sami made her way out to the road to try to get help, and that’s when she encountered your father. And she begged him to come back to the cabin and help her– help her save Lucas’s life. And he agreed to do it. He agreed to do it if she would have sex with him first.

Oh, my God. So–[clears throat] If she wanted to save Lucas’s life, she had no choice but to have sex with my father. [utensils clatter]

Yeah, that’s what I’m telling you.

What’s wrong with my plan?

You mean besides it being illegal?

Oh, so now you want to talk about breaking the law? Sorry, I–I didn’t mean that.

No, it’s OK. You’re right. I did break the law, and that’s why I’m in this mess. But that’s just it, Holly. It’s my mess. You’ve already done more than enough to help me.

I really haven’t done that much

Of course you have. Holly, you asked your grandma for the money to pay off my debt. And I appreciate that more than you know, but I’m not about to let you do something dangerous on my account. You’re about to graduate high school, Holly. You have your entire future ahead of you. And trust me, you don’t want to start it behind bars. [gentle music]

OK. Well, yeah, I guess sneaking into Melinda’s wasn’t my best idea.

No. But I gotta say, it was pretty badass.

Yeah, well, that’s me– certified badass.

Oh, yeah, for sure.

Oh, careful there. Or you know what? I might have to show you up with those dumbbells. [laughter]

So you really don’t think that we need to worry about Belle going easy on EJ?

She better not–not if she values her career. EJ needs to be locked up for a long time.

Uh-huh.

What? What are you thinking?

Well, it’s just that, yes, it would be, you know, a bit of a relief if EJ was out of the way for the adoption. But then on the other hand, you know, that–that’s Johnny’s dad. And even after everything that he’s done, I know that Johnny still loves him.

[scoffs] Well, that is not on you. EJ should have thought about family before he broke the law. Uh-uh. Your father-in-law, he deserves– he deserves whatever’s coming to him.

I know. Yeah, he does. Of course. 64

And, you know, after EJ’s gone, you and Johnny, you can finally– you can start your lives with that beautiful new baby.

No. No, that can’t be true. It–it can’t be. Look, I know that my dad can be a little ruthless in business. I know he goes too far when he wants to get revenge. But there’s no way that he could do that, not to my mom. [soft dramatic music]

I am so sorry. I know that it’s hard for you to hear this. But I know in your heart, you know it’s true. I can see it in your eyes.

No.

It’s what your grandfather was trying to tell you. But he stopped himself, and I think I should have stopped myself, too. 66

No, no. It’s OK. Uh, no. I– I begged you to be honest with me. When? When did this happen?

Before you were born.

So Mom and Lucas were a couple then? Yeah?

Yes, yes.

Why did nobody want to tell me about this? Ever?

Because we–we all made a pact to keep it from you and your sister, Allie.

Allie? Wait, you– you said that my mom and Lucas were a couple when my dad did this horrible thing to her.

Yes.

Kate. Is that the reason that my twin sister and I have separate fathers?

[sighs]

Kate, is that the reason that my sister and I have separate fathers?

Oh, my God. OK. Uh… so that story you just told, that’s the story of– Of how I was conceived? My sister was born out of love, and I am a product of rape.

I am so, so sorry, Johnny.

No, no, no, no. Don’t–don’t touch me, OK? I just, uh– I got to get out of here. 70

Johnny. Johnny! Oh, God. [exhales] Oh, God.

You used me, you son of a bitch!

I didn’t, Belle. I came here to see you. The–the case against me was the furthest thing on my mind.

You are such a freaking liar. I cannot believe I ever trusted you.

You are being unreasonable.

Unreasonable? I’ll show you unreasonable.

Belle–

Get out.

Belle–

Get out!

Belle, we need–

Get out of my bed!

To talk about this!

Get out of my house!

I’m going!

Get out!

Fine, fine! Stop! 72

Get out! Get out! Get out now!

I’m going!

Go! [somber music]

[door slams]

Wow. So, like, Mayor Price must have really impressed your mom.

Yeah, which is not an easy task. 73

Yeah, no kidding.

And this could be a really good sign for the adoption. But I just don’t think that we should get our hopes up too high because my mom is still very concerned about Johnny’s dad having anything to do with the baby.

Right. But still, if Johnny and Chanel can distance themselves enough from EJ before the baby comes, then hopefully your mom would come around, right? 74

That would be amazing. Uh… well, I better get back to work. Uh, a nurse had a 65th birthday party in the private dining room. Uh, nice folk. A lot of cleanup ahead of me, though.

I can stay and help.

You want to bus dirty dishes?

I–I just– I want to hang with you.

Right, because you have nothing else going on tonight.

No, because I want to. And I don’t want you to work yourself too hard.

Oh, you’re worried about the baby.

No, I’m worried about you, Sophia. I want you to be OK and to be happy. I hope you know that.

I do. And I want the same thing for you.

So let’s get to work. I mean, these tables aren’t gonna bus themselves. Uh, but don’t try and pocket any of my tips, Black.

Oh, right, like you’re nice enough to get good tips. [laughter]

Even though we’re not going through with it, the break-in to Trask’s place, it means a lot that you were willing to go that far for me.

Well, I want things to work out for you, Doug. I really care about you.

I care about you, too.

OK. Well, if we aren’t gonna steal the necklace back, how do we plan on getting it legally? I mean, we can’t just let Trask win.

I’ll tell you what– Julie left some chicken and mashed potatoes in the fridge. I could fire ’em up while we do some brainstorming.

Mm, leftovers and strategy talk. I–I like it.

Cool.

But how about I get started in the kitchen, and maybe you go take a shower?

Sounds like a plan.

OK. [laughs] [gentle music]

[line trilling] [phone ringing] 79

Hello. Oh, perfect timing. I was just talking about you.

About what?

I was just reassuring Chanel that you’d be doing everything in your power to put her father-in-law away for his crimes against the citizens of Salem.

Uh, about that. Um– uh, I’ve been thinking about our earlier conversation. 80

And?

And, uh, I think you’re right. I, uh–I think it would be best for everyone involved if I recused myself from the investigation into EJ DiMera. [tense music]

There’s my beautiful wife. Hey. When did you get home? 81

A while ago. [mellow country music]

What’s wrong? Tough day?

No, it was fine until just now.

What happened?

I came in to, uh– well, Johnny was talking about EJ.

Oh, no.

Yeah. He, uh, blindsided me with a question about why you would tell him that his father had raped someone.

Damn it. Damn it, Kate, I’m so sorry. I was just so upset with the whole Arnold Feniger thing, and it just came out. I tried to walk it back. But I should have known that he–he wouldn’t be able to let it go. 83

No. He was very persistent.

Damn it.

[sighs]

Damn it. All these years trying to protect him and his sister from the awful truth and, uh– [sighs] [tense music]

Damn it. What did you say to him?

Well, I really had no choice. I told him the truth. So your grandson now knows that his father raped his mother, and he’s a result of that.

Damn it. Oh, Kate. [somber music]

Hello, Chanel. 85

I think that I will just go wait for Johnny in our room.

Chanel, wait. Please.

What is it?

I just wanted to say I’m sorry about what happened with Amy Choi. I offered to help smooth things over, but Johnny wouldn’t hear of it.

Yeah, well, can you blame him?

No, I’m afraid my son is rather cross with me at the moment.

You got that right.

Johnny, what’s wrong? [grunts]

[dramatic music]
